See history at the century-old Balboa Pavilion, one of California's original, Victorian-era "recreational facilities" overlooking the Pacific, or stop by the Orange County Museum of Art. Of course, Orange County is more famous for its mall culture, and iconic Fashion Island truly is an impressive shopping center.
About 1,000 feet offshore is even more opulent Balboa Island, a beautiful place to spend a lazy afternoon. The bohemian-chic city-within-a-city has even more gorgeous beaches, one-of-a-kind shops, and a range of restaurants serving excellent food for almost any budget.

The debug assertion is intended to help you! It means MFC has detected
an invalid condition.
1. If you have not done so, install the MFC source code from your VC++
installation CD. This will let you see the code that detected the problem.
2. When it fails in the debugger study the debug stack window. This
will show you the calls from your code that led to the problem. You can
double click in the stack window to go to your own calling code and
there investigate your variables and the parameters you passed.

Wieseman to join brother at D3 Beloit

Lana Wiesman (

July 03, 2012 | 11:54 AM
It's been a busy couple of months for Lana Wieseman.
The 18-year-old basketball standout played in the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association All-Star Game, graduated and picked her destination for college basketball all in the last few months.
A 6-foot-1 inside and outside threat, Lana dominated the competition for Badger during her senior season this past winter. She averaged 18.5 points and eight rebounds per game in helping the Lady Badgers to a 16-8 record and their first conference title in 14 years.
In May, Wieseman decided to play Division 3 basketball at Beloit College, joining her brother, Laramie, a junior. And in June, Wieseman played in the prestigious WBCA All-Star game, a statewide showcase with all proceeds going to the Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer (MACC) Fund.
Wieseman recently found some time to catch up with the Regional News about her decision to attend Beloit College and her WBCA experience.

RN: Tell me about your experience at the WBCA all-star game.
LW: We arrived in the (Wisconsin) Dells on the Wednesday of that week. Leading up to the game, we had team practices every day. We also had many team activities such as attending the Tommy Bartlett Show, going on a Dells Boat Tour and touring the Dells. Thursday night we had a banquet where I received the Academic All-State Award, and all the girls were recognized for their fundraising efforts. The next morning was the game. The week was so much fun and such a great experience.
RN: Did you do anything involving the MACC Fund?
LW: Jon McGlocklin, the president of the MACC Fund, spoke to all the participants about how much our fundraising was helping children with cancer and blood disorders. We also had the chance to listen to one cancer survivor's story. She was the same age as all the players.
Hearing the struggles and hardships that she had to overcome in her young life really made me see things more from her perspective. I'm glad that I could help others going through these same struggles through my fundraising. It was inspirational, and I am thankful for the experience.
RN: How did you play in the game? Were you nervous at all?
LW: I had a lot of fun. I really enjoyed playing with and against some of the best players from all over the state. The team I played for, the South, won, which made the day that much better. I wasn't too nervous, but there are always a few nerves before a big game.
RN: What was the level of competition like?
LW: The level of competition was very high. On my team there were several Division 1 and Division 2 scholarship athletes. Almost everyone was going somewhere to play college basketball. It was really cool to play with such talented players and get to know them over the course of the week.
RN: Overall, what was your favorite part of the WBCA experience?
LW: My favorite part of the week was seeing all my family, friends, and coaches in the stands cheering and supporting me in this game. My family has been such a huge part of my basketball career and has been essential in helping me with my fundraising efforts for the MACC Fund. I am also so thankful my coaches were there to support me as well, and I am glad I could represent Badger High School and the girls basketball program in this special way.
RN: Let's switch gears to Beloit College. When and why did you decide to play at Beloit?
LW: I made my official decision in early May. It was a long process, and Beloit was in the running from the very beginning. I decided to attend and play at Beloit for many reasons. I was awarded the Beloit College Presidential Scholarship, which is their highest academic scholarship. The academic aspect of Beloit is what attracted me the most. Beloit is a private college, and I like all the academic opportunities it provides. I got to know the coaching staff and players well. Also, I liked how Beloit is close enough to allow my family and friends to watch me play in college.
RN: How excited are you to go to school with Laramie, and how much did that affect your decision?
LW: I am very excited to go to school with Laramie. It will be awesome to have that support at college as well. While going to the same college as my brother is an advantage in my mind, it wasn't a deciding factor for me. I chose Beloit because I believe it is the right fit for me, and will help me in achieving my future goals.
RN: What other schools did you consider? Why did you choose to play at a Division 3 school?
LW: I considered a lot of schools, mostly Division 2 and 3 schools and some NAIA schools as well. While I was offered full scholarships from some Division 2 and NAIA schools, I knew Beloit was a better fit for me. I chose to play at a Division 3 school because I liked the opportunities it provided me with. I liked that I can get a great education at a small school and also play basketball along with having opportunities to travel abroad and play other sports which I would not be able to at a larger public school on a basketball-only scholarship.
RN: How excited are you to start college and a new chapter in your life? Can you believe you're playing college basketball?
LW: I am so excited to turn the page and start college. It feels almost surreal to know I will soon be playing basketball at the college level — something I have dreamed about since I was a little girl. It is also very fulfilling to know all my hard work thus far has paid off.
RN: Who do you think has been your biggest inspiration(s) so far?
LW: My biggest inspirations have been my high school coaches because they have been the ones to push me to be my best every day. I can't thank them enough for all the encouragement, time and energy they have given me. I truly enjoyed playing for them and I am so thankful I had great coaches like them.
RN: Your sister Liberty recently made state in track. How proud are you of your siblings and their athletic achievements? Do you all push each other and support each other?
LW: I am so proud of Liberty for making it to state. She definitely encountered some obstacles along the way with her knee surgeries, but her drive is very inspiring. She knew she could get there, and she did. It's great to be able to support all my siblings in their athletics. I love watching my brothers play basketball and watching my youngest sister's softball and basketball games. We have always cheered for each other. I feel very lucky to have such a supportive family.
RN: What are you majoring in at Beloit College? What is your dream job someday?
LW: I will be majoring in biology, and I hope to have a job in the health care field in the future. I really enjoy helping people. I would also love to be able to coach one day.
RN: What will you miss the most about Badger athletics?
LW: I will miss the great teammates, coaches and fans that I have gotten to know and love while at Badger. They are what made my four years truly special. The entire Badger High School community and staff are so supportive of student-athletes, and it was great to know the school wanted success for us.
RN: So when are you off to school? What are you doing the rest of the summer to stay busy?
LW: I leave for school on Aug. 20, so I am very excited for that. This summer I am working out a lot for basketball, working a summer job, spending time with family and friends and enjoying the summer.

A source of mine found out that ADMD is very close to completing their audits which will allow then to apply for an OTCBB listing That is very GOOD news and will allow about 4-6 times as many investors and traders to participate in ADMD who would not buy a Pink Sheet company. That will make a huge difference in the future of ADMD and it gives us the edge in getting into the stock at the present price instead of at much higher prices when the stock jumps to the OTCBB. I know only about 10-15% of specualtors will buy a Pink Sheet stock, while 75-80% will buy an OTCBB stock. When I have spoken to friends and colleagues about ADMD most of the coments are, "I love the technology, but I will wait until it is OTCBB". I can understand that, but you always have to pay a lot more for the shares after the stocks make that step up to OTCBB, just like you have to when a stock goes from OTCBB to AMEX or NASDAQ. We should see the listing process begin some time in March. Once this story is confirmed by the company, we could see a run in the stock even larger than the one a year ago when the stock went from $0.25-1.04 in less than 2 months. When you add the circle of investors who will buy into stocks on OTCBB or going on to OTCBB we should see the kind of move that could take this stock to my short term target of $2-3 and then my second target of $5.00.
Where did you get your info from?

You must have been brain washed by that company as they are a rip off. if your supposed to become a travel agent you should get paid you shouldn't have to pay. it's an american ripoff all american companies are rip offs
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 UPDATE Employee
Failure of buyer to read terms does not make Global Travel a "rip off company"
AUTHOR: Wanda - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, April 01, 2003POSTED: Tuesday, April 01, 2003
This person clearly admitted that she had ordered a free radio on-line ($1 to cover shipping). She was not solicited in any way. The order form required that you check a box stating that you had read & agreed to the terms. The terms stated that she agreed to a 30 day free trial on a membership - they offered several different types so I am not sure which she enrolled in. The terms stated that after the 30 day trial if you did not call to cancel you would be charged $99 for the annual subscription.
This person states that she did call GTIMS but opted to wait until after receiving the radio to cancel her subscription. This was not necessary as the radio was a gift for trying the subscription and would have been sent even if the subscription had been cancelled.
She further states that SHE failed to follow up and cancel the membership and yet she claims that the company is at fault when they renewed the subscription in accordance to the original terms and agreements that she had checked off that she had read and agreed to.
I certainly don't see how this makes Global Travel a rip off company.
Furthermore, Global Travel International and Globalinx have no connection to each other.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

After a LONG LONG think about everything, University, my career, evidently my future. I have come to the conclusion that the course I am doing, is not for me. I really don't like the course, I have no passion for it, and is completely not what I expected. The job field is very narrow and I would not enjoy the job as I do not enjoy the course. At the end of the day I do not want to waste money that I have to pay back doing something I do not enjoy.
My question is, do I try hand in my assignments for the *first* year, or is there no point. Also where do I go to talk to someone about it?
Many Thanks
**Sorry my bad, I'm in the first year.
Dropping out?
|Posted on
You might as well get the degree now.
Sorry my bad, I'm in the first year.
Wrote it wrong.
I am in my first year and I am in exactly the same position as you.
My degree has very poor employment prospects and I have no passion for it at all. In the next 2 months I have exams but I know in my heart that there is no way I will be able to pass them because of my complete lack of passion and motivation for the course.
I am thinking of dropping out as I have been offered a very good fulltime job with better than graduate pay whilst doing a degree in something I am interested in with Open University.
However I am in the same position; do I just do the exams or not?
can I ask what degree your doing?
Computer Games Production,
and 'NGC773" I feel exactly the same way. I know I'm going to fail and just think it will be a waste of my time, I'm going to try make an appointment with someone ASAP.
I am in the sameish position and will be dropping out at the end of this year. However I'm staying for exams and going to try my best at them - not stress about them, but I might as well complete the year and there isn't anything other than revision to do really! I'm not entirely sure how you go about dropping out but I've spoken to my tutor and someone at student services, so I would recommend starting there.
Yeah I have sent an email to 'Student Support' and they have said I should speak to my Tutor so that will be my next step.

SQUAW VALLEY, Calif. - Today, Squaw Valley is officially opening the world's first ski-in/ski-out Starbucks location. On the mountain at elevation 8,000 feet, Squaw Valley's new mountaintop Starbucks boasts spectacular mountain views and the unique ability for guests to keep their skis or board on while they order their Starbucks beverage of choice. Click here for images of the world's first ski-in/ski-out Starbucks:

"We worked closely with the design team at Starbucks to create a one-of-a-kind experience that we know our guests will truly enjoy," said Andy Wirth, Squaw Valley's president and CEO. "Nowhere else in the world can skiers and riders enjoy a delicious Starbucks coffee without missing a beat on the slopes."
"Starbucks is passionate about providing customers with the unique 'Starbucks Experience' wherever they are, including Squaw Valley's upper mountain," said Doug Satzman, vice president, channel development - branded solutions for Starbucks. "We look forward to serving our signature espresso and coffee beverages to the thousands of skiers and riders at Squaw Valley through our first-ever ski-in/ski-out Starbucks location."
The grand opening is taking place at Squaw Valley's new Starbucks today. Events surrounding the grand opening included an official ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11:30 a.m., as well as a text message scavenger hunt. Throughout the day on Friday, Squaw will text clues to find five $50 Starbucks cards hidden on the mountain.
Squaw Valley's mountaintop Starbucks store is located at the Gold Coast mid-mountain complex and can be accessed by the resort's Funitel with or without ski or snowboard equipment. This Starbucks store will be open daily from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. throughout the winter season, weather permitting.

Doctor Who series 8 filming pictures
Filming continues on Doctor Who series 8, and here are a few beach snaps to prove it...
Warning: potentially contains mild spoilers for Doctor Who series 8
The fine folk at the South Wales Evening Post (the only post worth reading from the lower half of Wales between roughly 6pm and 9pm) have posted some set photos from this week's Doctor Who filming, a few of which you can see below.
The photographs show Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman, guest star Hermione Norris and a new recurring character played by Ellis George and thought to be the younger sister of Samuel Anderson's Danny Pink. They're on the picturesque Aberavon Beach wearing natty orange spacesuits, so we can assume that the episode being filmed - written by Peter Harness - isn't set in Port Talbot...

JOE BAILEY HAS OWNED A BUSINESS ON VERNON STREET IN BETHEL FOR 28 YEARS AND, IN ALL THAT TIME, THIS IS ONLY THE FIFTH OR SIXTH TIME HE'S SEEN THE FLOODWATER COME UP THIS HIGH. 19:59:59-20:00:01 Joe Bailey/Bethel: "I'm blessed to have lake-front property." EVEN LONG-TIME MAINERS FOUND THEMSELVES GAWKING AT THE SPRINGTIME FLOODING TODAY. 20:02:43-20:02:45 Jeff Burns/Bethel: "It's amazing. I had to come see it." SUBMERGED FENCES, PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT, AND PICNIC TABLES - BUBBLING NATS- BUBBLING COMING FROM A SANDY SPOT IN THE PAVEMENT AND OTHER FASCINATING SCENES OF NATURE. 20:04:46- 20:04:52 Paul Merrill/WMTW News 8: "With the temperature just below freezing, as the floodwater recedes, it leaves these delicate sheets of ice just hanging in the air." - NATS OF ICE BREAKING- THIS FLOODING IS A RESULT OF ALL OF THE SNOW STILL SETTLED IN THE MAINE WOODS PLUS YESTERDAY'S RAINFALL. NORMAN LEWIS IS THE DISTRICT GAME WARDEN FOR BETHEL. HE SAYS LOW LEVELS OF WATER IN DAMMED LAKES UPSTREAM HELPED TO LESSEN THE DAMAGE DOWNSTREAM. 19:45:28-19:45:41 Norman Lewis/Maine Game Warden: "So they're able to hold back quite a bit of water in that country by bringing the lakes up to their normal springtime levels, which keeps towns like Bethel from getting any worse than it already is." BUT SOME BETHEL ROADS STILL TOOK A BEATING. PUBLIC WORKS CREWS FILLED IN ROADSIDE DITCHES. DEAN RICHMOND USED HIS TRACTOR TO REBUILD THE ROAD TO HIS FARM. 20:25:00-20:25:03 Dean Richmond/Bethel: "The town the state... everybody's slammed right now, so we've all got to do our part." THE HAY THAT'S HARVESTED IN THESE FIELDS SHOULD BE FINE ONCE THE FLOODWATERS RECEDE. DEAN SAYS SPRINGTIME FLOODING IS NOTHING NEW HERE - THOUGH HE SAYS, OVER THE PAST DECADE, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. 20:24:05-20:24:10 Dean Richmond/Bethel: "It's increasingly becoming a problem because the storms are becoming more and more intense." THIS IS ABOUT AS HIGH AS THE WATER IS GOING TO GET HERE. OF COURSE, AS THIS WATER DRAINS, IT HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE AND THAT SOMEWHERE IS DOWNSTREAM TO ANDROSCOGGIN COUNTY. LUCKILY, ONLY MINOR FLOODING EXPECTED THERE. LIVE IN BETHEL, PAUL MERRILL, W-M-T- W NEWS EIGHT.

The Complicated Battle for Misys
The auction for U.K. software company Misys PLC is down to a two-horse race between two private-equity firms after Swiss rival Temenos Group AG dropped out of the process, but it is by no means certain that a deal will be done.
Both buyout proposals look somewhat unusual. For U.S.-based Vista Equity Partners the deal would be double the size of most of its investments while CVC Capital Partners is working with Misys' largest shareholder Value Act – widely assumed to be looking for an exit at a decent price having pushed for an attempt to turnaround an ailing company.
The value of Vista's bid is around £1.2 billion – more than double the $600 million to $650 million it reportedly shelled out for the trade processing and risk management unit Kondor it bought from Thomson Reuters Corp. in September.
"Misys would be divergent in terms of size and profile compared to the fund's previous deals," said Merchant Securities analyst Roger Phillips.
Some say that Vista would seek to merge the two companies driving costs and operational synergies, more like a trade buyer than a buyout shop. But others suggest that Vista could be using the process merely "to run a sliderule" over its competitor, especially as a U.K. target company must now make fuller disclosure when it has been approached following the introduction of revised Takeover Rules in September.
"We think it is more likely that Vista, as the new owner of Kondor, is taking a look under the hood of a competitor," said Mr. Phillips. CVC's bid looks even more opportunistic and while private equity prides itself on snatching up opportunities and CVC has been involve in a number of complex deals, teaming up with Value Act has led to suggestions that the approach is being used as a stalking horse by Value Act to drive up bids. To be sure, Value Act is a joint-offeror but the structure of any bid has yet to be determined and Value Act could take as little as 10% ownership and look to sell down the stake in the short term.
George O'Connor, an analyst at Panmure Gordon, said that there were still two remaining approaches which would give Misys shares some support, but cautioned that there was an additional level of risk for investors after the talks with Temenos ended.
Neither suitor has yet come up with a firm offer. Vista has until March 19 and CVC and Value Act until April 2, and while investors would definitely prefer any cash offers to Temenos's all-share bid the danger that a deal won't get done is real.
At midday Misys shares were down 4% , and the company was leading the FTSE250 losers.

DISCOVERY BAY -- Spring has sprung. In this Delta community, that means it's time to get those boats on the water and out on backyard docks.
Discovery Bay's Opening Day boat parade will start at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 12 at Lighthouse Bay. The route will snake its way through town inlets right in front of people's backyard docks, reaching the Discovery Bay Yacht Club around 3 or 4 p.m.
"Almost every boating community has an opening to their season. Ours is a lot of fun," said Linda Loveland, the parade's organizer.
The parade has been held for at least two decades in the town where a large portion of homes have backyards with docks. Each year's has a different theme; this year's theme is a salute to those in the military, both past and present. The "Honoring Those Who Served" celebration also includes paramedics, firefighters and law enforcement.
"It's truly a way to appreciate all of those who serve, not just in the military, but those who work locally everyday," Loveland said.
The Yacht Club also puts on a lighted boat parade during the holidays, but Loveland says this opening day parade is more fun.
"There's lots of communication between the docks and the boats, and because it's in the daylight, you can see who's on the boats," she said.
Thus far about 11 boats have registered. They will be festooned in patriotic flags, bunting, balloons -- even camouflage, Loveland said.
Awards will be given after the parade for the top three large, medium and small boat displays, along with the best-decorated homes along the parade route and the most enthusiastic dock party.
Registrations must be turned in by Wednesday. For more information, call Loveland at 925-516-7286. The parade route can be viewed at www.dbyc.com.

John the Revelator / Lilian
|"John the Revelator"/"Lilian"
|Single by Depeche Mode
|from the album Playing the Angel
|5 June 2006

|Depeche Mode singles chronology
"John the Revelator"/"Lilian" is the second double A-side single by Depeche Mode and their forty-fourth single overall, released on 5 June 2006. Both songs are featured on Depeche Mode's 2005 album, Playing the Angel and serve as the fourth single from the album (see 2006 in British music). The single became another UK Top 20 hit for the band, reaching number 18.
"John the Revelator" was added to BBC 6 Music's B-List, but it failed to make any other BBC playlists or that of Xfm London. It was also played by a few alternative rock radio stations in the US, including WKQX (Chicago), throughout 2006, despite not being released as a single there.
"John the Revelator" was edited down several seconds for the single, while "Lilian" was slightly remixed and the introduction was shortened.
The single is the first UK double A-side release by the band since "Blasphemous Rumours / Somebody" in 1984.
"John The Revelator" was played during Depeche Mode's Touring the Angel tour and can be watched on the tour's DVD.
While the Depeche Mode track known as "John the Revelator" should be considered a novel composition written by Martin Gore (rather than a "cover" song - like "Route 66", "Dirt" or "So Cruel" - three songs that are covered by Depeche Mode) the song has its origins in an early 20th-century gospel/folk song "John the Revelator" famously performed by Son House, Blind Willie Johnson, and later by such acts as The Holy Modal Rounders, The Blues Brothers and John Mellencamp, with each new version adding or ignoring the original lyrics if not the original context. Similarly, the Depeche Mode track employs several elements of the namesake including the call-and-response chorus ("who's that shouting? John the Revelator" etc. )
Usage in media[edit]
- "John the Revelator" was used in the movie Man of the Year featuring Robin Williams as party background music when Eleanor confronts the Delacroy CEO about the glitch in the election program during the Delacroy celebration event.[citation needed]

Come Together: Lovebird Tables by
Yuki Matsumoto
As if Matsumoto's two leaning console tables aren't cute enough, joining them together to create a larger table is crazy cool. Lest you think that the two tables are precariously leaning against each other, the drawers are actually doing the work of keeping them together. By removing the drawers and turning them 90 degrees, they form a bridge that keeps the two tables securely linked.

Title: Totaly awesome!!
This did my costume complete. Really good feeling in the material (hard plastic) and colour. I didn't use the head strap that whit the horn instead I glue them with latex and paper to the head. I could recommend this horn for them ho is looking for some bigger cool horns with some curves. But it would be fun if there was even bigger to bye, like hellboy horns.

Very cool looking. Light weight but still a little floppy and the cord is shiny plastic, but if you can tuck it under your hair it's fine.

Since his birth in Chicago\, IL\, Benjamin Laub (aka Grieves ) enjoyed a diverse musical upbringing\, exposed at an early age to the ci ty's local jazz and blues clubs by his father. After relocating to Fort Co llins\, CO and eventually Seattle at age 19\, Grieves had broadened his ar ray of musical influences to include punk rock and eventually became compl etely immersed in Hip Hop as an art form.\n
Following his debut albu m Irreversible in 2007\, Grieves began collaborating with local Seattle-ba sed producer Budo\, a talented multi-instrumentalist that helped complete the organic-yet-intense sound of 15 melodic\, sample-free tracks that beca me 88 Keys & Counting. Following rave reviews of the album's mainly digita l release\, Grieves and Budo hit the road once again to set up shop in New York City\, where they are currently at work on the follow-up to 88 Keys\ , due for a Fall release this year on Rhymesayers. Untethered to common re straints of the hip-hop genre\, the combination of Grieves' singing and ra pping with the refreshing horn\, guitar\, and keyboard driven production b y Budo presents Grieves strongest work to date.\n

As a parent, your job is to give your child the tools for a healthy lifestyle and remain as relaxed as possible about the result.
To help your overweight child eat well, use the same healthy eating approach with everyone in your family:
- Eat together as a family as much as possible. The entire family, regardless of each family member's weight, should be offered the same food choices at meals.
- Choose water instead of sugary drinks, such as sport drinks, soft drinks, fruit juices, and fruit-flavored drinks. For some kids, cutting back on sugary drinks makes a big difference in balancing the calories that they take in and burn off.
- Remember that all foods, even less nutritious foods in small amounts, can fit into a healthy diet. Do not make any food item completely off limits. This may increase the desire for the forbidden food and can lead children to overeat when they get the chance.
- Avoid power struggles over food. Your job is to provide healthy choices at specific snack and mealtimes. It's your child's job to choose to eat or not eat.
- Have a regular meal and snack routine instead of snacking throughout the day. Schedule snacks for when your child is most hungry, such as after school or exercise.
- Offer nutritious food choices.
- Keep foods moderate in calories to help your child avoid getting too many calories. But don't make meals so low-calorie that your child can't feel full.
- Avoid using food as a reward, whether for an achievement or for "eating all your green beans." (The "nutritious food, then dessert" tactic makes the healthier food seem like a less desirable food.)
- Serve dessert as part of the meal to avoid the "dessert struggle." Offer healthier desserts, such as yogurt and fruit, more often than rich desserts. When you serve a rich dessert, it's okay to set out a single portion for each person.
To help your overweight child develop a balance between the calories he or she takes in and burns off:
- Shift the focus away from pounds and toward a healthy lifestyle by avoiding weighing your child every day. Think about not even using the bathroom scale.
- Move more. Make fun physical activity a part of your family's daily life.
- Keep total TV and computer "screen time" to 2 or fewer hours a day.1 Encourage outdoor play as often as possible. Children should have at least 1 hour of moderate to vigorous activity each day.
As for any child with health concerns, make sure your child has all of the well-child checkups and treatment that your doctor recommends.

Menopause Health Center
Is Hormone Therapy Helpful After All?
Feb. 13, 2006 - In recent years many women stopped taking hormones for menopause after a report linked them to heart disease. Now researchers have found that estrogen might not be as bad as we thought -- especially for younger women.
The new findings suggest a possible estrogen benefit for women in their 50s, but experts say it's too early to recommend hormones to help the heart.
The study also confirmed previous findings that estrogen treatment does not protect older, postmenopausal women against heart disease.
In March 2004 researchers stopped an estrogen study due to concerns about an increased risk of stroke among older women taking the hormone. Researchers later reported that long-term treatment may be associated with an increased risk of blood clots and dementia.
In July 2002 researchers stopped a study of women taking both estrogen and progestin after long-term use of the combination hormone treatment was linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and breast cancer among older women.
'Suggestion' of Protection
The new study looked at nearly 11,000 women aged 50 to 79 years taking only estrogen. Women who have not had a hysterectomy must take progestin along with estrogen. Taking estrogen alone increases the risk of uterine cancer.
Researchers reported no overall difference in heart attack risk among women who took the hormone and those who did not.
But there was a suggestion of less heart disease with estrogen use among women who began taking the hormone between the ages of 50 and 59.
The findings are reported in the latest issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.

For visitors to Italy who are interested in getting beyond the usual Venice-Florence-Rome itinerary without an hour-long train ride, a stop in Bologna is an excellent option. This city has everything you're looking for – grand piazzas, historic attractions and exceptional food – without many of the trappings of a tourist city. What's more, Bologna is on Italy's high-speed train line, making it easy to include it on an itinerary in the northern part of the country.
While Bologna doesn't have world-famous attractions on the same level as nearby Florence or some other cities in Italy, there are several notable sights to visit during your stay. The huge San Petronio Basilica, facing Bologna's Piazza Maggiore, gives you a peek at what's underneath all those marble facades you normally see on churches – as this one is unfinished. You can see works by Filippino Lippi and a young Michelangelo in the Basilica of San Domenico. And the city's iconic symbol, the pair of leaning towers in the historic center, can give you an incredible vantage point from which to snap photos of Bologna's red roofs.
Bologna isn't as touristy as cities like Florence, but you'll still notice a youthful and international vibe, thanks to the city's enormous university. In fact, Bologna's university is the oldest in the world, opened in 1088. This means the city has long been a cultural center, including being named a UNESCO "City of Music."
Bologna is the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, a region known throughout Italy (and the world) for its cuisine, and some of the best things to do in Bologna revolve around eating. Many of the dishes we associate with Italy come from this part of the country – including the meaty tomato sauce named for the city itself, "bolognese." Other typical dishes to try in Bologna include tortellini in brodo (tortellini pasta in a light broth) and sandwiches made on "piadina" flat bread, which make an excellent quick snack or light lunch. Nearby, cities like Parma and Modena are famous for their prosciutto, parmigiano-reggiano cheese, and balsamic vinegar, so these ingredients often feature prominently on menus in Bologna.
If you need a way to work up an appetite, get your heart racing with a visit to one of the nearby sports car and motorcycle factories and museums. You can take a private tour to Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Ducati, which are all located a short distance from Bologna, and if you time your visit right you'll even get to watch a car go around Ferrari's test track.
As mentioned, Bologna is on Italy's high-speed train network – it takes just over an hour to get from Milan to Bologna, and a mere 40 minutes to get from Bologna to Florence. This makes both cities easy day trips from a base in Bologna, or vice versa.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Augusta State will play host to its third straight Southeast Regional on March 14, 15 and 17, according to an announcement late Sunday night from the NCAA national headquarters in Indianapolis, Ind.
The Jaguars (26-4) learned of their postseason fate during a selection show gathering in Christenberry Fieldhouse on ASU's Forest Hills campus.
The Peach Belt Conference regular-season champion and PBC Tournament champion, ASU will be the regional's No. 1 seed and take on eighth-seeded Tusculum on Saturday in Christenberry Fieldhouse. The tournament will make the Jags' third straight NCAA Tournament appearance and fifth trip to the Big Dance in the past nine seasons.
Game times and ticket information for the four NCAA Tournament first-round games will be finalized during an NCAA conference call on Monday, March 9.
ASU will take on Tusculum in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Pioneers (20-10) fell 63-61 to Catawba in the championship game of the South Atlantic Conference Tournament. ASU last faced Tusculum during the 2005-06 season, splitting a home-and-home series with the Pioneers.
The 17th-ranked USC Aiken men will be the second seed in the Southeast Regional at Christenberry Fieldhouse. The Pacers will be taking the hardwood in the first round against the SAC's Lenoir-Rhyne.
USC Aiken has taken the court against three times before with L-R owning a slight 2-1 series advantage. The two programs have not met since 2004.
The Pacers and Bears will be fighting to move on to face the winner of the Armstrong Atlantic State-Catawba game. The Pirates are the third seed, while Catawba is the sixth seed.
The Pirates, Jaguars and Pacers are three of four total PBC schools in the event. Fourth-seeded Georgia College & State will square off against fifth-seeded Barton for the right to move to face the Augusta State-Tusculum winner.
If all four PBC schools advance it will be an identical semifinal to the PBC Tournament semifinal.
The USC Aiken women will be participating in the NCAA Southeast Regional hosted by Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory, N.C., while the USC Aiken men will be taking part in the NCAA Southeast Regional hosted by Augusta State in Augusta, Ga.
The USC Aiken women are the fifth seed in the regional. They will take on a very familiar foe in four seed and Peach Belt Conference foe Francis Marion.
The Pacers and Patriots split their season series with both earning a win in their home gymnasium.
The two teams have met 60 times before with Francis Marion owning a 41-19 series advantage.
The winner of the USC Aiken-Francis Marion contest will move on to face the winner of the No. 1 Lenoir-Rhyne and No. 8 Anderson contest.
The Pacer and Patriot women are one of four PBC teams in the Southeast Regional. The Clayton State women, who lost to USC Aiken in the semifinal round of the PBC Tournament, are the three seed and are taking on the South Atlantic Conference's Carson-Nemwan, who is the sixth seed. PBC Tournament champion Lander is the seventh seed and will be squaring off against second seed and another SAC program in Tusculum.
The trip to the NCAA Division II Tournament is the third all-time for the Pacer women's basketball program. USC Aiken's last venture into the field came in 2005. They made their first trip during the 2001-02 season.

Canadian Geologists Embarrass Themselves on Climate [1]
Richard Littlemore [2] | June 22, 2011
By Richard Littlemore [2] • Wednesday, June 22, 2011 - 17:48
The joint conference of the Geological Association of Canada [3] (GAC) and the Mineralogical Association of Canada [4] (MAC) included a DenierFest sideshow worthy of the Heartland Institute [5], with guest speakers flown in from as far away as Australia and Europe in an effort to address one organizer's concern about an "unbalanced debate."
Notwithstanding the manipulations of the deluded University of Toronto geologist Dr. Andrew Miall, the conference featured a full helping of honest-to-goodness science [6]. There were occasions galore during which knowledgeable people spoke about matters with which they have legitimate expertise.
Then there were the sessions that featured the likes of Australians Bob Carter [7] and Ian Plimer [8], people who do no actual work in climate science but who are only too delighted to tell you that everything we understand about human influence on global warming is a carefully constructed fiction. Organizers even brought in the Danish astrophysicist Henrik Svensmark - a man who will clutch his chest and fall to the ground [9] rather than offer a straight answer as to why he insists the sun is causing climate change when the sun has been in a long weak cycle even as the earth continues to overheat. (The "heart attack," reported above, was later confirmed to be a stress reaction.) This - all extremely well covered recently by the good folks at Friends of Gin and Tonic [10] - is an embarrassment to the Canadian geological community. While the American Geophysical Union (AGU) has taken the trouble to actually check the science and come to an official position [11] on climate change, the backwoods Canadian geologists are still prepared to entertain compromised confusers such as the oil patch geophysicist and Friends of Science [12] director Norm Kalmanovitch.
The conference also featured the past president of the Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists, A. Neil Hutton, whose abstract suggests that because CO2 was much more plentiful in the atmospher during the Cambrian period than it is today, we have nothing to worry about the current carbon spike that is occurring as a result of the burning of, well, petroleum. (Can't someone please tell Dr. Hutton that the Cambrian period was 500 million years ago - a time when the sun was markedly cooler, and when the earth was still going to evolve for, uh, 500 million years before it would be habitable for humans?)
If you needed any further evidence to suggest that this whole exercise was either an oily put-up job or a mindless ideological intervention, undermining the reputation (and ambient IQ level) of the collected geologists, look no further than the National Post, the Canadian handbook for denier narratives. Its coverage [13] of the conference came courtesy of Tom Harris [14], with no mention that Harris is an oily public relations guy who helped launch the Friends of Science, who created the energy industry front, the Natural Resources Stewardship Project, and who now fronts for something called the International Climate Science Coalition.

The combined form of the Technobots.
Voiced by Bert Kramer.
- Scattershot
He transforms into a spaceship / battle station.
He is the leader who forms the head, torso and thighs of Computron.
His solution to the Decepticon problem is to empty as many weapons in their direction as possible. He refuses to stop until he is defeated or out of ammunition. He resorts to name-calling when others disagree with him.
Voiced by Stephen Keener.

He transforms into a futuristic car.
He forms the right lower leg of Computron.
Despite his popularity and blazing speed as a car, he longs to be converted into an interstellar spacecraft.
Voiced by Danny Mann.
- Strafe
He transforms into a space fighter. He forms the left arm of Computron.
He is a trigger happy fighter who's as much a danger to friends as he is to enemies.
Voiced by Steve Bulen.
- Nosecone
He is the first of the Technobots to be created by Grimlock, but ultimately was not made into the leader of them.
He transforms into a Cybertronian drill.
He forms the left lower leg of Computron.
He is very intelligent, but slow and methodical about completing a given task.
Voiced by David Workman.
- Afterburner
He transforms into a motorcycle.
He forms the right arm of Computron.
He is known for frequently arguing with authority figures.
Voiced by Jim Cummings.
- Scattershot
While the Technobot team utilizes the same combining technology earlier used by the Aerialbots, Stunticons, Combaticons, and Protectobots, Computron is one of the few combiners with only one consistent combination. This is due to several of the smaller Technobots being different sizes when forming a leg or arm. Lightspeed and Nosecone are consistently the left and/or right legs, and Afterburner and Strafe are consistently the right and left arms. As Computron, the team's group dynamic allows them to create a super-intelligent gestalt whose mind and thought processes have been compared to "500 supercomputers". However, due to the various differences in viewpoint and procedure of the five Technobots, Computron can often take a long time to reach a conclusion, sometimes too late to put it to use.
Marvel Comics[edit]
The Technobots were among the Autobots who joined Fortress Maximus in leaving Cybertron for the planet Nebulos (Transformers: Headmasters #1). However, a crew of Decepticons under Maximus' rival Scorponok pursued them and the war began anew on Nebulos. Assisting the Autobot Headmasters Brainstorm and Hardhead against the Terrorcons and Horrorcons, the Technobots were first seen combining to form Computron in Transformers: Headmasters #3. They once again battled the Terrorcons as Abominus, defeating him and forcing the Decepticons to flee. Realising the damage the war was doing, the Autobots, including the Technobots, departed Nebulos for Earth (Transformers: Headmasters #4).
When Maximus' forces linked up with the Earthbound Autobots, they encountered resistance from Autobot leader Grimlock, who was unhappy they might resurrect Optimus Prime and topple him. Scattershot was present when Grimlock fought Blaster for leadership of the Autobots on Earth's moon. The Autobots were then attacked by the Decepticons led by Ratbat (Transformers #41), although Scattorshot was not seen to be killed. The Technobots were last seen trying to stop the Underbase powered Starscream in issue 50, as they were all taken out and deactivated. The Technobots were never seen again in the U.S. Marvel Transformers series. While they may have been destroyed by Starscream, many of the other characters he disabled in that issue eventually returned to the series.
Animated series[edit]
The Technobots first appear in the season 3 episode "Grimlock's New Brain". After biting through a computer's cables located inside Cybertron's core, Grimlock becomes super-intelligent, and creates the Technobots to combat the Terrorcons. The Terrorocons combine into Abominus and to combat him, Grimlock transferred his vast intellect into Computron, the Technobots' combined form. This leaves Grimlock in the same mental state as before. Computron defeats Abominus quickly.
The Technobots appear on numerous other occasions, including when they are assigned to destroy a Quintesson base on Titan with the help of Marissa Fairborne. While the Quintessons control the Terrorcons they have them unite into Abominus to face the Technobots. The Technobots quickly form Computron and are successful in defeating the Terrorcons and Quintessons.[1]
They try to stop the Terrorcons from stealing a special heat-resistant alloy. The two teams merge into their combined forms, but Computron's need to analyse every strategy before committing himself leads to Abominus swiftly defeating him.[2]
The Technobots also appear in the season 4 episode "The Rebirth Part 1". They are on Earth when the Decepticons attack Autobot City.
The Technobots appear numerous times in the Headmasters series, first seen in the third episode.
In episode 27 of Headmasters, "Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters Part 1" the combined might of Computron, Defensor and Raiden is used to destroy the abandoned Decepticon base on Earth.
In the Japanese book/ novel (manga) "Big War" Chapter 2, the Autobots Rodimus Prime, Grimlock, Kup and Wheelie, along with their human allies Spike Witwicky and Daniel Witwicky send Computron into battle against Galvatron's new warrior combiner Abominus. The Terrorcons spit "corrosive control liquid" against Computron, taking control of him and turning him into a Decepticon. Spike luckily uses his new Exosuit to free Computron with "defense spray." Defeated, Galvatron retreats.[3]
Dreamwave Productions[edit]
Scattershot and the Technobots received biography pages in Dreamwave Productions' More Than Meets the Eye and War Within series. However, they did not appear in any other Transformers series due to the company's closure.
IDW Publishing[edit]
Jetfire and the Technobots appeared working together in IDW Publishing' comic book miniseries, The Transformers: Stormbringer. They investigated a mysterious energy spike on the deserted surface of Cybertron. Jetfire, Lightspeed, Scattershot and Strafe went down to the surface to investigate, but were ambushed and taken out by Bludgeon's troops. Nosecone and Afterburner's ship was shot down, but they managed to launch a distress beacon first and get to an escape pod. The three captured Technobots were cannibalized for their parts, while Bludgeon revealed his true plan—to reanimate Thunderwing. Nosecone and Afterburner were left on the surface on Cybertron, and were about to be killed by Centurion drones when help arrived—the Wreckers, who saved them both. The Wreckers subsequently attacked Bludgeon's cult, and rescued the Technobots. They then helped Jetfire to decode Bludgeon's data, helping shut Thunderwing down for good. They are unable to merge into Computron at this point, as the Combining technology has not yet become widespread.
Other media[edit]
The Technobots are a favorite toy of the character Lucas in the book The Annoyance Bureau By Lucy Frank.[4]
- Generation 1 Technobot Computron (1987)
- The toys were first released in 1987 and continued to be sold in 1988. They were sold separately but also available together as a gift set. They are red, orange or brown with white highlights.
Transformers: Generation 2[edit]
The Generation 2 Go-Bots were sold under the name "Tecnobots" in some European countries. However, they were not related to the original Generation 1 Technobot characters. Strafe for a new toy for Generation 2, but was no longer a Technobot, he was now a Cyberjet.

Fun Publications[edit]
Computron was created as a combiner for the Autobots. Although the individual Technobots are all geniuses in their fields, when united they formed a highly ambitious super genius called Computron who suppressed all their individual flaws. In his arrogance Computron attempted to grant enhanced intelligence to Grimlock. The experiment backfired and it brought out the flaws in each Technobot, resulting in insanity for Computron. Optimus Prime enjoyed the new Computron and refused to repair him. Alpha Trion was then able to sway Computron to his side.[5]
The Technobots are among the acolytes of Alpha Trion who respond to his return to their world.[6] When Breakaway, Landquake, Skyfall and Topspin escape Alpha Trion Scattorshot offers to have the Technobots hunt them down, but Alpha Trion instead assigns them to help relocate his base.[7] The four rogue robots are eventually uncovered by Computron. Although Computron chases the quartet, they escape to the Decepticons headquarters, and Computron faces off against Abominus.[8]

Nate Haasis is by any measure an outstanding athlete. Nate's the quarterback for Springfield (Ill.) Southeast High School. The 17-year-old senior is among the best athletes in his region if not the entire state. In his high school career, Haasis completed pass after pass, time and time again. And just last Saturday, in his final high school game, Haasis stood on the verge of history. He was one pass completion away from becoming the conference career passing leader with less than a minute remaining in the Central State Eight Conference game. His team was behind by a wide margin and the opposing team from Cahokia had the ball.
Given that set of circumstances, Haasis was destined to fall just short of the long-standing passing record. Only a miracle would give his team the ball - much less an opportunity for Haasis to make that final record-breaking pass completion.
But then a funny thing happened. The Southeast coach called time-out and huddled at midfield with the opposing coach from Cahokia. And unknown to Haasis or anyone else, a deal was struck. Southeast High would allow Cahokia to score on the next play and, in return, Cahokia would then allow Haasis to complete that one final pass to establish a new conference record.
Well lo and behold, Cahokia score on the next play and the ball went back to Southeast. And sure enough, on the final play of his final game of his final season, Nate Haasis completed a 37-yard pass that put him in the record books. But Nate Haasis is no ordinary high school athlete. When he figured out just how he got that record, Haasis wrote a letter to league officials.
"It is my belief that the directions given to us in the final seconds of the game were made in 'the heat of battle' and do not represent the values of the athletes of the Southeast football team. In respect to my teammates, and past and present football players of the Central State Eight, it is my hope that this pass is omitted from any conference record."
And with those simple words, Haasis established himself as a role model for all students and all other athletes for that matter. The character, the integrity, the honesty all exhibited by this high school athlete should serve as a lesson to us all.
Nate Haasis in indeed a special person. But he's not special because of his athletic skills. He's special because of his desire for fairness. Haasis knew that even if the record books carried his name for all eternity, in his mind and heart and soul he would know that it was not entirely the truth. And that bothered him enough to request the change from league officials.
We all know there are not enough like Nate Haasis in the world today. And his story is most certainly not just about sports. But this "child" - and I'm old enough to call him that - showed a host of adults that success and accomplishment are not just about records. The final destination is secondary to the journey and just how you got there in the first place. And come to think about it, Nate Haasis is by no means a "child." With the stroke of a pen, Nate Haasis proved himself to be one helluva man.

The major league baseball draft is today, with hype like never before, and that's understandable because now the league has the MLB Network to sell.
But how can a fan care what's happening? How can a fan even know what's happening? It's difficult enough to project football and basketball talent to the pros. In baseball, it's just about impossible.
Case in point: Vin Mazzaro. The A's newest sensation was a third-round pick in 2005, which means he was highly regarded. Good enough as it goes.
But look at the A's picks above Mazzaro. First-rounder Cliff Pennington got his feet wet last year but hasn't been deemed ready to fill any of the gaping holes in the infield; he's hitting .280 at Triple-A Sacramento, with no power but all those walks the A's love to see. The other first-rounder, Travis Buck, reached the bigs in 2007.
Of the second-round picks, Jared Lansford is now a reliever who struggled mightily in Sacramento before he was shipped back to Double-A; and Craig Italiano was plagued by injuries and is 4-5 with a 6.51 ERA at Class A Stockton.
(Three high school pitchers in the first three rounds? Somebody must have drugged Billy Beane during that draft.)
And early on, Mazzaro seemed the least likely to make it. He was 9-9 with a 5.05 ERA at low Class-A Kane County in '06; he was 9-12 with a 5.33 ERA in Stockton in '07.
In the NFL, it's usually wise to wait three years to truly evaluate a draft. In baseball, it has to be six, at least.
But that won't stop the insta-labeling today.

** Reported Missing November 2005 **
(I'd be willing to bet that winds just blew it away within the park... probably not too far from where it was planted)
otamaY burcS larutaN aerA
Difficulty rating: 3 - Challenging. An experienced letterboxer will find these clues to be somewhat challenging. May require some alertness on the trail to find the letterbox.
Terrain rating: 3 - Not suitable for small children. The average adult or older child should be OK depending on physical conditioning. Terrain is a rough trail. May have some overgrowth.
Location: West side of Congress Ave., 1/4 mile south of Congress Ave. exit from I-95
Description: A 217-acre preserve of natural Florida scrub jointly owned by the state of Florida, Palm Beach County and the city of Boca Raton.
Facilities: Not yet designed
The otamaY burcS larutaN aerA is currently NOT a "developed" park. Eagle Scouts have blazed a hiking trail through the north end of the natural area.
There are no facilities at this site. Not handicapped accessible. Not suitible for small children. No specialized equipment is necessary, but the trail is sandy with pine needles, so good shoes would be helpful. It will take about 1/2 hour to complete the search. The hike is a fraction of a mile. Portions of the path may have some light overgrowth.
Directions: From I-95 exit at Congress Avenue -- head south to NW 6th Avenue (entrance to an Industrial Park) -- turn left and drive to the end of the road. Park where your car won't get hit by a semi-truck.
The scub is surrounded by a two-rail wooden fence. The entrance to the scrub is a locked double-wide green gate. Jump the fence near the gate and you will see a bull-dozed path that goes straight, and another that goes left along the green fence and wraps around to intersect with the main path. Go straight into the scrub on the main path. Within 50-yards AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE MAIN WIDE PATH WITH THE OTHER WIDE PATH, the Scouts have marked a trail with red flags.
The red flags are very small and not obvious. The flagged path intersects with the main (bulldozed) path. The path you want to follow is to the right. If you miss the first entrance, you will find it exit towards the end of the main path (on the right) well before getting to the canal.
Take the path and follow the red flags. Near a large tree look for a cut-off tree stump about 18" wide. Nearby (to the NorthEast - to get your bearings, listen for highway traffic to the East) is a small animal (probably Gopher Tortise or Armadillo) trail marked with both a yellow flag and blue flag on the large tree. Go down the trail 15 yards and behind a medium-sized pine tree is the letterbox, under some broken tree branches.
Florida scrub is a plant community easily recognized by the dominance of evergreen shrubs and frequent patches of bare, white sand. With more than two dozen threatened and endangered species dependent upon scrub, the entire community is itself endangered. Florida perforate cladonia is a federally endangered lichen endemic to the Florida high white sand scrub communities.
