Jenson Button believes any driver moving teams for the start of Formula 1's new rules package in 2014 will be at a significant disadvantage.
F1 will switch to 1.6-litre turbocharged engines after next season.
Although McLaren has not made the length of Button's current deal public, the 2009 world champion is expected to stay at the team through 2014 at least after signing a "multi-year" deal in 2011.
"If everything goes to plan I will be still working with the same group of engineers and we'll have worked together for four years," he said.
"So entering into a new category, which it basically is, in 2014 with the same engineers - we understand the each other in our way of working and I think it really does help when everything changes.
"I'm really excited about 2014 and I think it will make a difference if you really understand it's not just about when you put your helmet on, it's about what happens before you put your helmet on."
Click here for Dieter Rencken's latest analysis of F1's 2014 rules situation
Button thinks trying to acclimatise to a new team while also coping with a major technical package change in 2014 would be extremely tough.
"If a team has a new driver in 2014, I think that's very tricky for the driver and for the team to really understand the right direction," Button said.
"Whereas if you have been working with the team for a long period of time you understand what you need from the car and what works.
"KERS is going to be massive in terms of power, and it's not going to be on a button, it's going to be filling in the holes of torque.
"So in terms of engineering there's a lot of work that needs to be done and in terms of the drivers and engineers there needs to be a good understanding."
Button also played down concerns that the new engines would diminish F1's spectacle.
"We talk about how the engine is going to be small, it's going to be boring, it's going to sound rubbish... The racing in the eighties was quite fun and they didn't have V10, V12 engines, so it will still be great racing," he said.

Old English hel, hell, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch hel and German Hölle, from an Indo-European root meaning 'to cover or hide'.
Hell descends from an ancient Indo-European root with the sense 'to cover, hide' which also gave rise to Latin celare (root of conceal (Middle English) and occult) and to English hole ( see hold), helmet (Late Middle English), and heel 'to set a plant in the ground and cover its roots'. This was originally unconnected with the Old English word for the part of the foot, but rather came from helian 'cover'.
The infernal regions are regarded as a place of torment or punishment, and many curses and exclamations, such as a hell of a— or one hell of a—, depend on this. These expressions used to be shocking, and until the early 20th century were usually printed as h—l or h—. Alterations such as heck (late 19th century) served the same softening purpose in speech as well as in writing. The saying hell hath no fury like a woman scorned is a near quotation from a 1697 play by William Congreve: 'Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor Hell a fury like a woman scorned.' The dramatist Colley Cibber had used very similar words just a year earlier, and the idea was commonplace in the Renaissance. It can be traced back to the Greek dramatist Euripides of the 5th century bc. Strictly the 'fury' is one of the Furies of Greek mythology, frightening goddesses who avenged wrong and punished crime, but most people now use and interpret it in the sense 'wild or violent anger'. The proverb the road to hell is paved with good intentions dates from the late 16th century, but earlier forms existed which omitted the first three words. Grumpy and misanthropic people everywhere will agree with the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre who wrote in 1944: 'Hell is other people.'

What are the pros? None so far.
What are the cons? Not productive in our climate
Tried these last year and had no luck with them. We planted seeds first and they grew about a foot tall then died. Second time was 6 plants already a foot tall. Only one lived to bare fruit, but none riped. The Amish paste tomatoes did great.

|Questions & Answers
These new highlighters from Pilot erase by FRICTION! The highlighters have a special rubber end to rub the thermo sensitive ink away with, thus no eraser by-products are produced, yet your highlights disappear magnificently (and the rubber never wears out!) The highlighters come in blue, green, orange, pink, violet and yellow ink colors and each erases without a trace! Best of all, they are made of 76% recycled plastic. Remember to also check out the FriXion pens!
Interestingly enough, the ink in FriXion pens will actually reappear when the temperature reaches below – 10 C (under 14 Fahrenheit). A freezer is sufficiently cold enough to make the ink start to reappear. It is like a magic pen for adults!
Because the ink in FriXion pens are thermo sensitive, we do not advise for them to be left in hot cars, used for mailing, or subjected to a condition that exposes it to a lot of friction.

In a public announcement issued recently, a Florida circuit court warned of a new trick by identity theft scammers aimed at getting your personal information. Here's how this new scam works:
- You receive a telephone call from someone claiming to work for the court.
- The caller says you failed to report for jury duty and a warrant has been issued for your arrest.
- The caller then asks for your confidential information, including your Social Security Number, date of birth and credit card number.
- The caller may say this personal information is needed for "verification."
This is a scam . It is precisely the kind of information an identity thief can use to ruin your financial health.
The jury duty scam is only about three weeks old, according to Florida authorities. Still, consumers in nine states have reported receiving such calls. Those states are: Arizona, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington.
Courts routinely contact potential jurors through the mail, not by telephone. And, requests to change your date to serve or other communications are normally handled through the mail or in person. Courts that issue notices to jury duty do not ask - nor have any need - to obtain your Social Security Number or a credit card number.
Calls about jury duty seem to be another in the scammer's bag of tricks, all designed to scare you into giving up valuable personal information. The most recent trick has been the phishing e-mail which flood electronic mailboxes, that ask for account "verification" or send warnings about unauthorized access to your accounts.
For more on phishing scams, see the Federal Trade Commission publication, How Not to Get Hooked by a 'Phishing' Scam, www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/phishingalrt.htm [1]. Also see, the PRC Alert Watch Out for "Phishing" Emails Attempting to Capture Your Personal Information, www.privacyrights.org/ar/phishing.htm [2]
If you get a call from someone claiming to call you about missed jury duty, don't give out any personal information. Instead, contact your local court to report this activity. Moreover, it is always a good idea to verify the legitimacy of any calls you receive asking for personal information.

Corinna's Going A-Maying
by Robert Herrick
Corinna's Going A-Maying Theme of Tradition and Customs
Congress is all about creating national holidays (hello Mothers' Day!). But what if your representatives started plotting to destroy national holidays? Pumpkin pie makes people fat? Bye-bye, Thanksgiving. Exchanging cut-out construction paper hearts encourages immorality? Sayonara, Valentine's Day. We'd all be pretty pissed, right? Everyone needs a day off. Plus, holidays aren't just about sleeping in and watching Netflix all day. They're also about getting together with friends and family and celebrating traditions. Uncle Bob's deep-fried turkey? Heck yes.
Herrick feels the same way. Although it doesn't sound very political, "Corinna's Going A-Maying" is actually an in-your-face revolt against the Puritan ban on May Day. Sure, this holiday might get a little naughty around the edges, but at its heart, it's a festival that reinforces community, celebrates nature, and promotes wholesome rustic traditions. Cakes with cream and DIY decorations out of flowering branches? That's the true religion of village life.
Questions About Tradition and Customs
- What's the relationship between Christianity and May Day in the poem?
- What's the relationship between civic government and May Day in British history?
- This festival is very community-oriented. How does that affect the speaker's lust?
- Why does the speaker use "sin" in the pagan context of May Day?
Chew on This
Herrick thinks that nature-oriented community traditions should replace Christianity.
Put in its historical context, "Corinna" argues that nature is a more source of power than Parliament.

January 11th, 2013 - 11:11pm
(Sequim) -- The Sequim High Wolves boys basketball team knocked off the Olympic Trojans 67-54 Friday night at Rick Kaps Gym.
Jayson Brocklesby scored 32 points as the Wolves tagged Olympic with its first league loss and moved into a tie with the Trojans for the circuit lead at 8-1.
Olympic (10-3 overall) opened the contest with the first six points before Sequim responded with an 11-6 rally and trailed 12-11 at the first buzzer.
Brocklesby tallied 7 in the first and added 10 more in the second frame as Sequim led 27-19 at halftime.
Sequim held the Trojans' Quentin Phillips, the league's leading scorer at nearly 20 a game to 4 points in the first half and just 11 for the night.
Olympic's RJ Neal hit for 6 of his 8 points in the third and the Trojans closed to 35-34, completing a 15-8 run.
The Wolves kept composure as Brocklesby knocked down 7 more tallies and Gabe Carter hit a big triple that pushed the Sequim advantage to 41-34 at the third horn.
Carter had 7 points and led the Wolves in rebounding and assists.
Olympic's Brian Tyson, who had the game-winning triple in Silverdale against Sequim in December,
led another fourth quarter Trojans rally.
Tyson canned 9 of his team-high 20 markers in the final period before fouling out with 14 seconds left.
The Trojans closed to 47-44, but Brocklesby managed to penetrate the Olympic zone repeatedly in the final stanza, dropping all six of his freebies.
Alex Barry connected on a trey putting Sequim up by 10 with 2 minutes to go.
Wolves point guard Anthony Pinza had a tremendous ball-handling game against the relentless back court pressure from the Trojans.
Pinza connected on 9 of his 10 free throws, finishing with 9.
Oly's Kyle Setten was strong inside for the Trojans and had 7 before fouling out with 4:12 to go.
Sequim's Erik Christensen continued to polish his post moves with 7 tallies.
Sequim (10-3 overall) is idle until a road game at Kingston Friday.
In other Olympic League boys games Friday, Port Angeles beat North Mason 68-62, Bremerton downed
Klahowya 74-41 and Kingston drubbed Port Townsend 68-36.
Olympic League girls scores include Olympic beating Sequim 46-31, Kingston squeezed past Port Townsend 37-35, Port Angeles ripped North Mason 53-33 and Bremerton doubled Klahowya 54-27.

Of the hundreds of people at the Autism Walk Sunday, one was Governor Dave Heineman.
He was there because of a very special personal invitation. Jacob Depenbusch knows the governor on a first name basis.
"I'm just really proud of Jacob and his parents. They do an incredible job and to see this many people out here it's incredible heart warming," said Heineman.
This isn't just a once-a-year public relations get-together for the Governor. This is a real friendship. Their relationship started two years ago at a parent teacher conference. Since then, they've played softball together and "Governor Dave" has always made time for the Autism Walk.
"It's important to me because of jacob and all these kids out here they have enormous challenges and yet every time im with Jacob he's postive and full of enthusiasm. He's doing better in school every year. so it really tugs at your heart. you're really proud of these kids," said Heineman. "If we can just make more families aware of the challenges that families have with autism each one is an individual case and were raising money here today to help find a cure to help all these kids out."
To Jacob, "Governor Dave" is just a friend.
Heineman added, "I've recieved a couple of very special letters from him where he's done very, very well in school he tells everyone that he can get "Governor Dave" to do anything and I'm proud to do it for him."
Sunday was not only a special day for "Governor Dave" and Jacob because of the Autism Walk, but also because it's Jacob's birthday. The Governor and Jacob celebrated with another party at Haymarket Park.

Placid and inscrutable, Lady Bird Johnson sliced through the Kennedys' Dallas wake and gave no hint that she had drawn the worst seat in the motorcade. In the center rear of a gray Lincoln convertible, she straddled the demilitarized zone between her husband, Vice President Lyndon Johnson, and Sen. Ralph Yarborough.
The previous day, a turf battle that pitted Johnson and Gov. John Connally against the liberal Yarborough took a petty turn in front of reporters. Nationwide, papers noted how Texas' senior senator curtly waved off requests to get in the car with Johnson in San Antonio and Houston.
On Friday, Nov. 22, 1963, the pithy headline of The Dallas Morning News read: "Yarborough snubs LBJ."
As President John F. Kennedy read the story in Fort Worth, his veneer of easy charm dissolved. Before addressing a Chamber of Commerce breakfast, he found Yarborough in a corridor near the kitchen entrance to the Hotel Texas grand ballroom. His gray eyes were cold.
"For Christ's sake, cut it out, Ralph," Kennedy said, demanding that the senator ride with Johnson.
When Yarborough would not commit, Kennedy threw down his trump card: If the senator valued the friendship of the president, Kennedy said, he'd get in the car.
Three hours later, as the vice president's convertible rolled westward on Main Street in Dallas, its reluctant passenger played his part. He lived up to his nickname, Smilin' Ralph, as he focused his friendly wave deep into the crowds and repeated, "Howdy there."
The mass of spectators at Ervay swelled over the left and right curbs, constricting the motorcade to a narrow center lane. Sitting in the right front of the Johnson car, Secret Service agent Rufus Youngblood opened his door at a 45-degree angle to brush them to the sidewalk.
"This was as much for the protection of the public as the protection of the vice president," he recalled. "A Lincoln rolling over a foot can be a very painful experience, as more than one Secret Service agent can attest."
The Kennedys and Connallys rode at the head of the procession with the loud motorcycle escort behind them so as not to block views of the president and first lady. The crowd was often still looking ahead at Jack and Jackie when Lyndon, Lady Bird and Ralph came by.
"The smell of burning rubber permeated the air because of the necessity of the motorcycle police having to ride their clutches at such slow speeds," Youngblood said.
In her ivory wool suit and triple strand of pearls, Lady Bird looked up to the left as the car crept by Neiman Marcus. She smiled and waved when she locked eyes with Mary Griffith, who leaned out of a window. "Mary for many years had been in charge of altering the clothes which I purchased at Neiman Marcus," Lady Bird later said.
It would be the last moment of untainted happiness that Lady Bird would have for a long time.
After a right turn on Houston and a left on Elm, the Johnsons would become the locus of the most merciless transition of American power in the 20th century.
Chaos in Dallas ended with not only the death of Kennedy, but also that of his killer. It fell to Lyndon Johnson to swiftly seize the reins and reassure a spooked nation that the center would hold.
As Johnson traveled the last few blocks of his vice presidency, a yellow Mercury sedan bearing three Secret Service agents followed near his bumper.
Jerry Kivett, a 28-year-old native of Greensboro, N.C., sat in the right front and turned on the radio so he and agents Woody Taylor and Lem Johns could hear live reports of the parade.
Even with the radio playing, they all heard the first shot.
Kivett's syrupy accent became dense and clipped: "What the hell was that?"
In seconds, carnage erupted in the presidential limousine as the president and Connally were hit by gunfire. Looking at the vice president's car, Kivett saw the blur of Youngblood's dark suit as he spun left, grabbed Johnson's lapels and flung him to the floorboard screaming, "Get down! Get down!" Youngblood lunged at Lady Bird and Yarborough as he climbed over the seat and covered the body of the vice president.
In the seat behind Kivett, both rear doors opened. On the left, Taylor put one foot on the ground before pulling it back.
Johns jumped out of the right rear and sprinted toward Johnson's car. Kennedy's presidential limousine accelerated rapidly through the triple underpass. "We just literally jumped out of the goddamn road," agent Roy Kellerman testified. The vice president's two cars followed. Johns screamed, "Hey! Wait for me!" and watched them all drive away.
Johnson later spoke of Youngblood's "knees in my back and his elbows in my back," as their car raced north on Stemmons Freeway with the wind rushing loudly overhead.
"We are going into the hospital and we aren't gonna stop for anything or anybody," Youngblood said forcefully. "Do you understand?"
"OK, pardner," Johnson answered evenly. "I understand."
Following the president's Secret Service car and Kennedy's midnight blue limousine into the Parkland Hospital emergency room drive, the Lincoln nosed to a hard stop and tossed Johnson and Youngblood against the seat back. Kivett ran from his follow-up car to Johnson's rear door.
From the president's detail, George Hickey appeared with an AR-15 machine gun poised on his shoulder. The phalanx that formed around Johnson included Kivett on one arm and Youngblood on the other with Emory Roberts wrapped across his back.
"We had him doubled over," Kivett recalled.
Bent and rubbing his shoulder where Youngblood had been on top of him, Johnson hurried inside Parkland. The confusing scene resulted in a wire service bulletin that was repeated by TV newsmen nationwide: Johnson had either been shot or suffered a heart attack.
With a moving wall of Secret Service around him, Johnson passed by president's limousine but never saw Kennedy. Left to fend for himself, Yarborough ran up to the president's car where the first lady was still huddled over her husband. He called the scene "too gruesome to describe."
For 10 or 15 minutes, doctors would blow on the embers of the New Frontier and grasp for an unambiguous definition of human life. But in the eyes of the Constitution, Lyndon Johnson became president of the United States as he lay on the floor at the feet of Yarborough and heard the final shot.
Had the assassination been a prelude to a Soviet attack, the new president would need the nuclear football — a modified briefcase with the codes to launch a retaliatory strike. But it was attached by a leather lariat to the wrist of Chief Warrant Officer Ira Gearhart, who rode in the parade's 22nd car and was taken to the original destination, the Trade Mart. Finding his way to Parkland, he hurried through the tile-walled corridors until Agent Roberts found him and placed him at an intake desk near the minor medicine cubicle that contained Johnson. A member of the Signal Corps, Gearhart grabbed a phone and established an open line to the White House switchboard. He then deputized his traveling roommate, White House photographer Cecil Stoughton. "Would you hold this line?" he asked.
Stoughton recalled, "Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mr. Johnson, Mrs. Johnson, Rufus Youngblood and a couple of other people making mad dashes towards the door."
It was Gearhart who gave him the first clue that Kennedy was dead. Looking toward Johnson, he said, "The president's going to Washington."
"Well, so am I," replied Stoughton, handing back the phone. He quickly hitched a ride to Air Force One with Johnson aide Jack Valenti.
Johnson, Youngblood and Rep. Homer Thornberry got into the unmarked car of Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry. As they pulled away from the curb, Houston Rep. Albert Thomas flagged them down and got in, too.
At Dealey Plaza, Curry's men had just found three spent shells and a concealed rifle on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. And homicide Capt. Will Fritz was about to make another chilling discovery. A Dallas detective for more than 40 years, he calmly waited as the weapon was photographed and dusted for prints.
"Then I ejected a live shell from the rifle," Fritz testified.
Apparently, after the last shot felled Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald cycled the bolt one last time. The assassin's intent would never be known, but when Johnson passed through his field of fire, Oswald had a fourth cartridge in the chamber ready to fire. Johnson sped from the scene, insulated by the flesh of Youngblood.
It was early afternoon when Kennedy's casket was loaded aboard Air Force One and members of his staff clustered in the stateroom to watch Johnson recite the oath. Thinking of history, assistant press secretary Malcolm Kilduff wanted to record it.
"There's a Dictaphone on the president's desk," Stoughton said. "Why don't you get the crew chief to make it hot for you and then use the little mike."
As Johnson repeated, "I, Lyndon Baines Johnson, do solemnly swear," the machine whirred. Standing on a sofa, Stoughton snapped the most famous picture ever taken aboard Air Force One. Before scrambling out the door to send his picture to the wire services, he grabbed the recording from the machine.
"It was on a red, endless tape," Stoughton said. "When I got off the plane, I stretched this plastic tape between my fingers." The door closed behind him, Curry and Judge Sarah T. Hughes, who had administered the oath. They were each at the swearing in, but Stoughton had the proof.
"I had the film in my camera," he said.
It was as though a great ocean liner had sunk beneath the waves and Stoughton had bobbed to the surface to tell the tale.
By Monday morning, Oswald was dead and leaders like Charles de Gaulle, Emperor Haile Selassie and Prince Philip had arrived to march in the funeral procession behind Kennedy's flag-draped casket.
Johnson and his wife exited the north door of the White House to walk behind the widow and members of the family to the funeral Mass at St. Matthew's Cathedral. The Johnsons were accompanied by an unfamiliar young man who caused a brief security panic.
"As soon as I cleared that door, a Secret Service agent grabbed me to remove me," remembered John B. Connally III, whose father had been shot with Kennedy. Quickly identified as the son of Gov. Connally and his wife, Nellie, the 17-year-old high school senior was released. In a pocket inside his new overcoat, he carried his mother's handwritten note to Jackie Kennedy. A few steps behind the Johnsons, the younger Connally followed the caisson and the riderless horse into the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue. During the 28-minute walk to the domed St. Matthew's, the silence of hundreds of thousands of mourners lining the streets was palpable.
"There wasn't a peep except for those drums and the clopping of the hooves of that horse," Connally recalled
As Connally walked solemnly beside his friends Lynda Bird and Luci Johnson, a black limousine glided behind them. The left rear window lowered and the gloved hand of Caroline Kennedy reached out for her friend, Secret Service Agent Bob Foster, as he walked alongside. He placed her palm in his. Then the agent and the fatherless girl moved hand-in-hand from the White House to the steps of the red sandstone cathedral.
That afternoon at Arlington National Cemetery, Connally attended the graveside service. He watched as Col. James Swindal maneuvered Air Force One in low and dipped its wing above the grave in salute. Jacqueline, Bobby and Ted Kennedy took turns putting a lighted torch to the eternal flame.
Walking back down the hill, Connally heard the voice of Lyndon Johnson say, "You come with us." He led the teen to a departing limousine that carried Jackie Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy and the folded flag from the casket.
"When we got to the rear quarter panel, that door popped open and Mrs. Kennedy and the attorney general got out of that car," Connally said.
Introductions were made and the widow, wearing a tear-stained veil, grasped his hand for a long time.
"Please tell your mother that I am so glad your father is going to be all right," she said. "That's the only good thing that has come of this."
When she released his hand, he reached into his coat and quietly gave her his mother's note.
Just 10 days later, the last Kennedy box was packed and loaded on the last truck at the tradesman's entrance to the White House. On the second floor, Jacqueline Kennedy crossed the center hall into the small kitchen and pushed the call button for the narrow service elevator with its stainless steel interior.
One floor below, President Johnson presented the first Medal of Freedom Awards beneath the gaze of Abraham Lincoln's portrait in the State Dining Room.
Added to the list was a posthumous medal for John F. Kennedy.
As White House usher J.B. West watched discreetly from the adjoining Family Dining Room, he saw the ethereal figure of Jacqueline Kennedy approach him from the kitchen wearing a simple black suit.
"May I watch?" she whispered.
Concealed by a black Japanese lacquer screen, Jackie looked on as the new president honored her husband.
Then she returned quietly upstairs and rode the main elevator down to the lower floor with her children, both bundled up in the powder-blue coats they had worn to their father's funeral.
With their English nanny, Maud Shaw, the Kennedy children and their mother walked through the lattice-lined Palm Room and out a side door.
On the south drive, they climbed into a waiting limousine.
Shaw remembered, "The four of us sat silently in the back seat of the big black car as it turned onto Pennsylvania Avenue."
In the State Dining Room, the luncheon adjourned and Lady Bird Johnson stepped into the main corridor where she was met by the usher.
"Mrs. Johnson," West said, "you may move in at any time. Mrs. Kennedy has moved out."
For this narrative, staff writer Alan Peppard based his reporting on interviews with John B. Connally III, son of the late Gov. John B. Connally Jr.; and Julian Read, former press adviser to Gov. Connally. He also used these sources:

Really Big Bytes
UH research relies on data capacity and expertise
Two years ago, as Hiroki Tokinaga stood on the beach watching waves rise higher with the strengthening wind, he got the idea to analyze 100 million records of wind and wave data from old ship logs. Synthesizing the data and computer models, the researcher for the University of Hawai'i at Manoa's International Pacific Research Center (IPRC) tracked regional patterns of climate change in the tropical Indo-Pacific region in the past 60 years.
Tokinaga's historic findings help scientists understand bizarre weather patterns – such as flooding and droughts – plaguing the Pacific region. Locally, his study tracks weakening trade winds contributing to the decrease in Hawai'i rainfall since the 1950s. Hawai'i could have less rain in future years if the trend continues, a cause for concern.
His study is one example of UH research projects with real-life impacts that involve the gathering, analysis and storage of "big data," with techniques often referred to with terms such as "informatics" or "cyberinfra-structure." From the Pan-STARRS telescope on Haleakala, used to track killer asteroids, to the culling through demographic and genomic databanks to decode a disease, researchers increasingly need to collect, securely store, manage, analyze and access huge amounts of data. Some sectors that increasingly rely heavily on big data for new insights include meteorology, marine and earth sciences, astronomy, environmental studies, energy systems, public health, biomedical sciences, and agriculture.
The IPRC uses computer models to project climate changes over the next century to provide information that will be used in assessing impacts on Hawaiian birds and plants in the next century.
"UH needs as much cyberinfrastructure as we can get," says IPRC director Kevin Hamilton. This includes data storage, high-performance computing and advanced networks for collaboration.
David Lassner, UH's vice president for information technology and chief information officer, says the new $41-million information-technology building under construction at UH Manoa will support researchers' growing data and cyberinfra-structure needs. Storage capacity at the new building will be sized to support petabyte-scale data (see box), with the capacity to grow to exabytes.
"We just want to make it easy for our scientists and researchers to focus on their scholarship," says Lassner.
A Whole Yotta Data
Data storage is measured in "bits" and "bytes" of information. Each bit contains either a one or a zero, and a byte is usually made up of eight bits. Larger amounts of data are referred to using metric prefixes, with each term referring to 1,000 times the previous level, as follows:
kilobyte 1,000 (thousand) bytes
megabyte 1,000,000 (million) bytes
gigabyte 1,000,000,000 (billion) bytes
terabyte 1,000,000,000,000 (trillion) bytes
petabyte 1,000,000,000,000,000 (quadrillion) bytes
exabyte 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (quintillion) bytes
zettabyte 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (sextillion) bytes
yottabyte 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (septillion) bytes

A year ago, these groups seemed to be at the peak of their influence, needing only the Senate's approval for a landmark climate-change bill. But they lost that fight, done in by the sluggish economy and opposition from business and fossil-fuel interests.
Now the groups are wondering how they can keep this loss from becoming a rout as their opponents press their advantage and try to undo the Obama administration's climate efforts. At two events last week in Wisconsin, environmental groups seemed to be trying two strategies: defiance and pleading for sympathy.Neither one drew enough people to fill a high school gym.

So, I finally broke down after much pressure from Jessie and joined Team Up Thursday. This is week 52/52, but a new year of TUT starts next week! Well, actually it starts tomorrow. If you're interested in joining, get in touch with Megan @ Mental Inventory. I know she has at least one person looking for a partner.
So, this week I 'met' my partner, Donna. She's from Canada and sent me some photos of her snow today. Wow! We shut down around here over a few inches. We'd all starve to death with what she's got up there!
The theme of the week was 'Celebrate'.
Donna trekked to her local Dollar Store to snag her pic (on the right) and had to explain to the manager what she was doing. LOL
My shot is of Addison blowing out the candles on her Play-Doh cake she made during Cullen's nap time yesterday. Addison has a little bit of a self-centered streak and thinks everyday should be her birthday, thus she should be showered with cake and gifts. Silly girl! One day you'll wish you only had a birthday every 5 to 10 years!
The theme for next week is 'Blue'

Teachers in my school sometimes brought in sweets as a treat at Christmas or the end of the year. I don't see anything wrong with this.
I can see how giving sweets out as rewards could send the wrong signal however
"Teachers should not give sweets and chocolates as a reward"
|Posted on
|Win a year's supply of BIC stationery for the new academic year!
What a load of sh**
Whoever agrees with this should go and join Gillian McKeith and Daily Mail readers. Bring on the negs.
Dopamine is vital in the reward structure of the brain, as is the reward structure to learning. It fulfills the desire for recognition and achievement. Therefore giving sweets and chocolate as rewards promotes and helps learning. However, the rewards must be unpredictable to cause the raised dopamine levels, if they were predictable their would just be a short spike of dopamine and nothing afterwards.
(Original post by carnationlilyrose)
Schools have very comprehensive list of pupils' medical conditions which is circulated to all those who need to know. The class teacher would know not to give the child something. These things are flagged up very clearly, especially in the case of young children who can't be expected to take responsibility for themselves.
(Original post by Shanij)
Generally, if it's a subsistute teacher they probably have no idea. Also, it's quiet upsetting for a student to know that they are not allowed the same sweet as everybody else because they are "different" from the rest of their peers.
(Original post by cid)
Its the teachers job to motivate the young child, at that age children are inquisitive and can be quite receptive to education but teaching a toddler is different to teaching a teenager at a young age such as 3 or 4 a teacher should be trying to make the subject of their lessons fun.
If a teacher of children of such a young age is having to break out sweets, they should probably ask themselves if they're really cut out for the job.
Again just to keep it clear, i have no problem with celebration sweets, like at Christmas or on birthdays, or cupcakes or whatever.
I also think its unprofessional to accept gifts from students even at the end of term or post exams. But this is just my opinion and i fully appreciate why its done, i just feel it is unprofessional.
No! No sweets for students! They should answer these questions regardless or do something good! They're at school, either like it or lump it! If a student can't be asked to learn then that's their fault.
(Original post by carnationlilyrose)
They should have been told. Documentation for cover lessons with supply teachers includes special needs information. I'm sure it is upsetting for the child, hence the tendency to give stickers and so forth. If I were a primary teacher I would handle things differently to the way I do now. It's the kind of thing they get training on. When I give things out at the end of term, I offer a free choice of the edible and non edible, but I teach at secondary level.
(Original post by Shanij)
This raises awareness, there's many supply teacher who don't. Not necessarily in my school, but others. There was something on the news last year, about a young boy who suffered from a heart attack due to a teacher giving him chocolates. Teachers really need to be told about anything and everything, especially for young children.
OfflineReputationRep:(Original post by pink pineapple)
I doubt giving kids a funsize pack of haribo as a reward for something is going to contribute much to the obesity rate.
(Original post by Shanij)
But at such a young age, around 4, students probably are not aware of what ingredients they are not allowed. They may have a vague idea, but maybe not 100%. Also, at that age students may even think "my mum isn't here, let me just risk having a sweet, she won't know, nothing will happen"
(Original post by cid)
What? ...sweets? where the hell did you guys go to school?
what are you trained dolphins? 'Well done Timmy, now catch this chocolate in mid air with your mouth'
Just reinforcing children's dependence on instant gratification and setting them up for a hard fall in in the long run.
Children should not be receiving sweets, treats or anything of that nature from their teacher, if its someones birthday or a reason to celebrate then its fine, but the idea of using treats to reward acceptable behavior and favorable performance, is this a school or Battersea dog home?
I won sweets in a uni lecture.
Whoever said stickers don't work on 8 year olds.. in year 10 I remember people still getting excited over bloody stickers lol!
(Original post by ThatPerson)
I disagree with this statement for scientific reasons. When an uncertain reward is anticipated the levels of dopamine in the mid-brain region increase dramatically than if it were a predicable reward.
Dopamine is vital in the reward structure of the brain, as is the reward structure to learning. It fulfills the desire for recognition and achievement. Therefore giving sweets and chocolate as rewards promotes and helps learning. However, the rewards must be unpredictable to cause the raised dopamine levels, if they were predictable their would just be a short spike of dopamine and nothing afterwards.
Aha, familiar with the skinner box experiment are we?
(Original post by janet9)
No! The occasional sweet and little treat hardly does any harm, it's a great reward incentive for quizzes. And it doesn't have to be just sweets, but biscuits too. I remember in Reception every day during 'play-time' that we got to have a Rich Tea biscuit if we wanted to. It wasn't cookies or anything too trashy. At the time, Rich Tea biscuits never tasted so good!
Stickers are like a "childhood best friend" We gain them when going to the doctors/dentists/star cards/ surprise toys in kinder eggs/ magazines/ everywhere...
It's as if stickers are what complete us, just we don't want to own up to liking them incase we get judged.
I bet when somebody offers you a sticker you laugh, but deep down you wish for them to force you to take it
(Original post by Shanij)
This question aroused on the news a while ago, people argued that
•When you reward a child, they believe they are perfect and don't continue their hard work
•Giving sweets are bad
•If a teacher is unaware of allergies a child has, they may give them a chocolate they shouldn't be eating
Honestly though, I am in favour of giving sweets as rewards
Third point: if a kid has allergies and willingly takes food they know they shouldn't eat, then thats the kid's fault xD
(Original post by harufi)
First point contradicts with behavioural psychology and makes no sense anyway: if you do something and get rewarded for it, you'll repeat that behaviour.
Third point: if a kid has allergies and willingly takes food they know they shouldn't eat, then thats the kid's fault xD

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Analysis: Steaminess Rating
Exactly how steamy is this story?
Considering they deal with elopement, opium dens, and even murderers, Sherlock Holmes tales are pretty darn pure – at least, in sexual terms. Not only is the Great Detective himself practically asexual, but his intellectual friendship with Watson comes at the expense of Watson's own romantic forays: practically every story begins with Watson ditching his wife, Mary, and running off to hang out with his best buddy Holmes instead.
While there have been theories for years that there's a little sumthin'-sumthin' going on between Watson and Holmes, you could argue that it almost doesn't matter if there is. The emphasis in these stories – and in Holmes and Watson's own friendship – is on intellectual reasoning and not on personal desire. Of course, we do have to note that, even if the Great Detective himself seems to be sexless, Holmes's clients get up to all kinds of romance-inspired hijinks on their own – there's the elopement of Hatty Doran in "The Noble Bachelor," for example. But even in these instances, there's no explicit sexual content to make your grandmother or your kid siblings blush.

Based on the "5135 Kensington" stories by Sally Benson and the MGM motion picture "Meet Me in St. Louis," with songs by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane and book by Hugh Wheeler, the stage version of "Meet Me in St. Louis," is a little "song-and-dance" slice of Americana as seen through the eyes of the Smith family living in St. Louis on the brink of the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition/World's Fair. The family, headed up by dad Alonzo, is all in a twitter because Father has announced they will all be uprooted to New York in the spring due to his great job promotion. The move is absolutely unwanted by everyone but Father, but especially awful for the oldest two daughters who have fallen in love with wonderful young men who are taking a little bit longer to realize they are also head-over-heels. Everything and everyone, including St. Louis, is on the brink of change as the story travels through summer, autumn and winter and looks towards the spring when the Fair will arrive and the family must leave.
The MGM musical production of "Meet Me in St. Louis" made a certified star out of Judy Garland and gave the Great American Songbook several enduring hits — "The Trolley Song," "Meet Me in St. Louis," "The Boy Next Door" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." The show just opened on the main stage of the Pacifica Spindrift Players. It is directed by Jenny Hernandez, who recently served as assistant director on PSP's wildly successful "Pirates of Penzance." The accomplished Hernandez is also director of choreography and she is joined by the impressive talents of Brennan Whitaker (musical direction) and Jacquelyn Whitaker (vocal direction).
There were bumps and some flubs in the earliest viewing of this production, but those will all be quickly ironed out because the cast is full-speed ahead dedicated and the leads are so good that audience members still left the theater singing with an extra kick in their step. Plus hats off to Lisa Claybaugh (costumes) and Mike Calderaro (set) who definitely lent a hand to filling that stage with joie de vivre.
Isabel To plays daughter Esther Smith (played in the movie by Judy Garland), and the lady can sing and dance and charm. She owned that role and touched every heart with her performance. Nicole Lopez-Hagan played the eldest Smith daughter Rose and her voice is jaw-droppingly beautiful and she can also do goofy — definitely one of the show's requirements. Steven Schutz played John Truitt, the "boy next door" and Esther's true love and he has a strong, easy-on-the-ears vocal and a dashing stage presence. John Espejo plays Rose's love interest Warren Sheffield and he is an exceptional singer, dancer and actor. Of course Rose fell for him as did the audience.
Joanie Pugh Newman played the family's Irish maid Katie O'Flying and she was magic - light on her feet, lovely in her song and ever strong in character. Michael Lodick played Father and he has a warm, very pure vocal and gave us a commanding, yet not-so-secretly hugely soft-hearted dad. Mandy Brown played Mother and was extremely likeable in her role as guiding light, Ted Keil as the one Smith son was pure delight and John Szabo as Grandpa was polished and lovable. The full cast shined with their sweet, sweet layered harmonies and the choreography was romantic and carefree and at times required some serious hoofing.
This is pure family entertainment that's really all about love.
