Either, just doesn't seem to have "it". The real problem is whatever has turned Rivera off about him. Whatever it is. I can't believe people are actually taking this seriously. Of all the dumb stuff that people take seriously here, this one is actually somewhat interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paper Chase
Robust tumor immunity to melanoma mediated by interleukin-9-producing T cells.
Department of Dermatology, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Interleukin-9 (IL-9) is a T cell cytokine that acts through a γC-family receptor on target cells and is associated with inflammation and allergy. We determined that T cells from mice deficient in the T helper type 17 (T(H)17) pathway genes encoding retinoid-related orphan receptor γ (ROR-γ) and IL-23 receptor (IL-23R) produced abundant IL-9, and we found substantial growth inhibition of B16F10 melanoma in these mice. IL-9-blocking antibodies reversed this tumor growth inhibition and enhanced tumor growth in wild-type (WT) mice. Il9r(-/-) mice showed accelerated tumor growth, and administration of recombinant IL-9 (rIL-9) to tumor-bearing WT and Rag1(-/-) mice inhibited melanoma as well as lung carcinoma growth. Adoptive transfer of tumor-antigen-specific T(H)9 cells into both WT and Rag1(-/-) mice suppressed melanoma growth; this effect was abrogated by treatment with neutralizing antibodies to IL-9. Exogenous rIL-9 inhibited tumor growth in Rag1(-/-) mice but not in mast-cell-deficient mice, suggesting that the targets of IL-9 in this setting include mast cells but not T or B cells. In addition, we found higher numbers of T(H)9 cells in normal human skin and blood compared to metastatic lesions of subjects with progressive stage IV melanoma. These results suggest a role for IL-9 in tumor immunity and offer insight into potential therapeutic strategies.

Catalyst For Change
Eyeing the end of the recession, Süd-Chemie looks to advanced technologies for growth
Department: Business
LAST YEAR was a stellar year for the German catalyst and adsorbent maker Süd-Chemie. Capping off five years of growth, sales reached $1.8 billion and operating earnings hit $172 million. Those results helped finance research into new markets such as biocatalysts and syngas catalysts.
But as 2009 began, Süd-Chemie finally fell victim to the economic downturn. In the first quarter, the firm's revenue dropped 3% compared with the year-ago quarter and operating earnings plummeted by . . .

Nando's: Lamp ambient
The Espetada Rustica is a delicious meaty grilled boneless chicken from Nando's. As part of the regional calendar for 2009, it was a major area of focus for Nando's Oman with a lot of in-restaurant posters that came in from South Africa for adaptations in the local market. Since much of this was mostly inward communication, the agency used a delightful outdoor ambient approach to communicate the sensory 'big sized feel' of this exciting dish and drive in traffic. It simply created a sizzling Espetada Rustica BBQ effect on a lamp post that was exactly in close proximity to the Nando's outlet in Qurum, Oman- substituting the lamp pole as a natural skewer by adding large chunks of 'meat' around it.

This is sort of desgusting. There should be blood on the ground, it'd complete the task.
I think it is Chicken Tikka – a traditional Bar B Q food. Idea is NICE. But the execution is not delicious.
I like it. We did a similar ad a couple years back for Wal-Mart's Grocery Store.

Improving Healthcare Access for All
October 3-7, 2016
National Primary Care Week is an annual event to highlight the importance of primary care and bring health care professionals together to discuss and learn about the impacts climate change can and will have on human health and health care. NPCW's goal is to engage physicians-in-training, students across the health care spectrum, and the general population on the indispensable role of primary care in our health care system.
How can you participate?
- During NPCW, participate in national webinars held Monday, October 5 through Friday, October 9, 2015. Organize a lunch lecture at your campus to participate virtually in the webinar. Topics, speakers, and schedule of webinars will be available shortly.
- Plan a movie matinee. Videos can generate awareness about communities with limited access to primary care and will also educate those who are interested in working in Health Professional Shortage Areas.
- Organize a health fair on your campus or in your community during NPCW. Provide information on food and nutrition, health promotion, and disease prevention.
- Set up a photo booth on your school campus during NPCW. A primary care photo booth provides a fun, but also impactful message about why students, clinicians, and primary care supporters are passionate about the field.
- Create your own event at your school, using the Programming Menu displayed below or Events in a Box offered by National Health Service Corps. These are some great events to plan and topics to discuss with your fellow classmates in relation to primary care.
- Collaborate with local ambassadors from National Health Service Corps to participate in National Corps Community Day events during NPCW. Search for a local NHSC Ambassador here.
- Come up with your own project/event. AMSA has put together tools and resources to help you put together a rock solid NPCW!

Amazon.com Review
The author recounts Zinkoff's story--a case study of sorts--in short sentences from a deliberately reportorial point of view, documenting the first years of the boy's life and his evolution into a loser. What makes the book charming and buoyant is that the reader, like Zinkoff's parents and his favorite teacher, appreciates the boy's oblivious joie de vivre and his divine quirks. What is less compelling about the novel is the "let this be a lesson to us" heavy-handedness that accompanies the reportorial approach. Still, Spinelli comes through again with a lively, often moving story with humor and heart to spare. (Ages 8 to 12) --Karin Snelson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

May 16, 2013 10:02 PM
As you know--or at the very least, as you could have guessed from the series' title--"Scandal" is all about, well, scandals, and one group of people who have to do their best to fix scandals when they occur What might be less apparent from the show's name is that it takes place in Washington, D.C., and the President is a character on it. Well, not President Obama, a fictional President whom, to this point, we don't like quite as much as we liked President Bartlett. We do, however, like Olivia Pope and as she's the main character that's probably a pretty important person to like. The first season ends tonight.
Past Events
Nov 20, 2014TV Network - ABC
Big doings are afoot. Tonight's episode is the fall finale for "Scandal." That, by itself (what with the nature of the series) means that we're due for some pretty shocking stuff, but there's something else special about tonight's episode. This week's episode--this big fall finale--is being directed by Tony Goldwyn. Goldwyn has directed two other episodes of the series as well, but you probably don't know him from his directorial work. No, you probably know him as President Fitzgerald Grant. In our world, that means that the President is directing tonight's episode and that is something we want to see.
Oct 09, 2014TV Network - ABC
"Scandal" is, as you are well aware a show with what people call a "buzz factor." Everyone wants to know what's going on with Olivia Pope and tonight we'll get the next installment in her life. Plus, this week offers guest stars old and new. In total on tonight's episode you'll see Joe Morton, Portia De Rossi, Sonya Walger, and George Newbern. That is really a pretty solid list of guests. Watch and see how they all fit into today's goings on.
Scandal: The Complete Third Season - DVD
Sep 23, 2014
Forget everything you thought you knew about who to trust... and who to fear. The suspense ratchets up as secrets are revealed, loyalties are tested, and dark truths come to light in ABC's "Scandal: The Complete Third Season."
Now, the seemingly invincible "fixer" Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) must confront the ultimate challenge: fixing herself. After sifting through her mysterious father's labyrinth of lies, Olivia's search for answers about her mother threatens not just national security, but the entire world. Meanwhile, the lives of her "gladiators" -- as well as those of the president, his wife and key White House staffers -- take sinister, unexpected turns. And when the major power brokers are themselves broken, who will be left to clean up the mess?
Watch the intensity unfold in all 18 episodes of "Scandal"'s riveting third season. Then, delve deeper behind the intrigue with exclusive, never-before-seen bonus features only available on DVD.

He is quick to pass the blame onto others and never take responsibility for his own business or if that is what you call it.
He has several different address - including his home, a UPS store an a office in Moorseville, which will most likely be closed in a few weeks.

Note: This project comes to us from Jess Hobbs at the Flux Foundation as part of Maker Camp 2014.
For downloadable PDFs of Flux Foundation's Tweethaus project, click each term: Paper Template, Parts, Prototyping, Resources.
The project's website reads:
TweetHaus, a collaboration between the FLUX Foundation and community partners, is a public art + ecology project focused on citizen science, interactive learning and collaboration. It fosters community through the design, construction and installation of bird habitats and public pathways in urban environments.
Grounded in our belief that art builds community and that community can build art, the first installment of TweetHaus takes place in our own backyard—Oakland, CA, with Park Day School as its locus.
TweetHausOAK engaged 3rd grade students at Park Day in collaborative, project-based learning. Under the mentorship of FLUX artists, Park Day teachers and community professionals, an 8-week curriculum guided five teams of 3-4 students in the design, construction and installation of an urban Western Bluebird habitat. The program began with students and mentors collaborating in the classroom to learn about bluebird habitat and ecology. The teams put knowledge into practice by venturing into the neighborhood to find appropriate birdhouse locations. They then returned to the classroom and the school's garden to design and construct a unique birdhouse and bluebird-supportive garden for installation at each specific location. The kids' excitement about the program is uncontainable! Take a look at our photos on Flickr to see for yourself! Two birdhouses have been installed at Mosswood Park in Oakland, one at a neighborhood home and two at Park Day School.
TweetHaus will expand into the larger community through participation in Maker Faire and in new partnerships with the Oakland Parks and Recreation Department and other local community organizations and schools interested in implementing the curriculum.
Engage in a Citizen Science project with your TweetHaus. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology (birds.cornell.edu) runs at least 4 great projects:
Project FeederWatch (feederwatch.org)
NestWatch (nestwatch.org)
Celebrate Urban Birds (celebrateurbanbirds.org)
YardMap (yardmap.org)
Additional citizen-science projects include eBird (ebird.org) and the Great Backyard Bird Count (gbbc.birdcount.org), developed by the Cornell Lab Information Science program in partnership with the National Audubon Society.

Mists of Pandaria will include a new race of people, with a new language and unusual traits, as well as a new adventurer class outfitted with special weapons and armor and skills and powers.
Investors are hoping the Asian-themed game will breathe new life into one of the videogame maker's top franchises, and give Activision Blizzard's shares a much-needed lift. The stock (ticker: ATVI) has been in the doldrums for much of the past few years, the result of a down cycle for packaged videogames for consoles ike Playstation3 and Xbox and intense pressure from cheaper games played on smartphones and tablets such as the iPad.
Mists of Pandaria, the company's latest game, is set to launch in September. Blizzard Entertainment
The launch of Mists of Pandaria is one of a few events in the coming year that should benefit Activision Blizzard's stock price. A number of its new releases are topping the charts in the U.S. and European markets, and it recently formed a promising partnership with Tencent Holdings (TCEHY), China's largest Internet provider, to grab a bigger piece of that country's booming games market by making its popular Call of Duty available online.
All of this could help Activision shares, which have fallen about 10% this year, versus a gain of nearly 11% for the broad market. At a recent $11.25, the stock was trading at just 11 times next year's estimated earnings per share, or eight times, excluding cash on the balance sheet. Success with the new initiatives and some resulting margin expansion could lift those multiples smartly; the shares could rise as much as 50%.
Complicating the Activision Blizzard story somewhat is the news that its controlling shareholder, the French telecommunications and media conglomerate Vivendi viv.fr -1.7911975435005119% Vivendi S.A.

But it's not clear when or if a deal will go through, or what it might look like. Under at least one scenario, Activision's shareholders could come out ahead.
THERE'S NO QUESTION that teaming Activision with Tencent could pay off nicely. Call of Duty will be free to play but will include an in-game store, at which players can buy gear and accessories. Terms weren't disclosed, but Wall Street expects the deal, which could launch in mid-2013, to add meaningfully to Activision Blizzard's annual earnings per share, with one analyst putting the eventual potential as high as 17 cents a year. The consensus estimate for total earnings in 2013 is $1.08, up from 98 cents this year.
The Chinese online gaming market, estimated at nearly $7 billion in 2011 with 160 million online gamers, is expected to increase by 20% this year and reach more than $9 billion by 2014. Tencent, which offers China's No. 1 game, CrossFire, a free-to-play multiplayer game comparable to Call of Duty, is the top game operator in China with $2.5 billion in revenue in 2011.

Another plus for Santa Monica, Calif.-based Activision Blizzard is the strong reception given to its Diablo III, launched in May; more than six million units were sold in the first week. By some estimates, Diablo could contribute more than five cents a share to earnings this year, not including the profits from an auction house that lets players buy and sell gear for their characters. In this year's first six months, Skylanders, a family-friendly game played with toys, was the best-selling videogame in North America and Europe and best-selling line of action figures.
Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PS3 are both getting upgrades, a boon to Activision.
In addition, the game-development team Bungie, creator of the popular Halo game, among others, and a long-term partner of Activision since 2010, plans next year to release a four-game massive multiplayer online science-fantasy game code-named Destiny.

Last week, the game maker reported better-than-expected second-quarter earnings of 20 cents a share, compared with the consensus estimate of 12 cents. The company raised its outlook for the full year to 99 cents a share, on an adjusted basis, on $4.63 billion in revenue, from a prior 95 cents and $4.53 billion.
Still, the shares lost some ground because investors were surprised by a bigger-than-expected losses of subscribers to its blockbuster World of Warcraft. Part of the problem was that the launch of Diablo III siphoned off subscribers.
But the longer-term outlook for the company is still strong. "Activision has performed fairly well through these difficult times," observes Ed Williams, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets. "New-product releases will be a catalyst for Activision. I think it's a compelling stock, relative to the market and to its peer group." He sees the shares hitting $17.
IT'S HARD TO SAY how the Vivendi developments will play out. After four years of a successful and mutually supportive relationship, new management at Vivendi is refocusing on its core French telecommunications and cable businesses and shedding assets considered to be nonstrategic, such as the Activision Blizzard stake.
But it won't be easy to find a buyer for Vivendi's shares that would also be the right partner for Activision. For one thing, there's a limited pool of buyers that would be interested in ponying up $7 billion to $8 billion, the possible range based on Activision's current share price. Mentioned as the most likely candidates to have both strategic interest and wherewithal are Microsoft, Tencent, and even Time Warner Cable (TWC).
Vivendi is said to be seeking a premium, but many suggest it will be forced to accept a discount if it wants cash and a speedy sale. And Activision will most likely be seeking the same hands-off arrangement with any new buyer that it has had with Vivendi., which could limit buyer interest.
The best outcome for Activision would be for the company to buy back shares from Vivendi, offer some to the public and bring in a strategic buyer as a minority shareholder. This would also provide broader support for the company's stock. Activision currently doesn't qualify for inclusion in the S&P 500 because another company holds a controlling stake.
The Bottom Line
Activision's shares may be headed to $17, thanks to new products and savvy cost control. The news that Vivendi is looking to unload its majority stake has had little effect on the shares.
Late last week, the Financial Times reported that Vivendi was putting a sale of its Activision stake on the back burner because there were no satisfactory offers. The pressure looks to be off for any quick sale because Vivendi's stock has risen more than 10% since former CEO Jean-Bernard Levy left the company in June over a strategy dispute.
So far, Activision's stock has responded in muted fashion to the various reports about Vivendi. More important for investors are the developments under way at Activision itself, and they look promising. Game on.

STUTTGART, Germany -- Turn off the television, shut down the computer and put that IPod down.
That's what U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart's Child, Youth and School Services wants kids to do this summer.
With childhood obesity on the rise in America, CYS Services is intent on getting all children - not just the athletic, competitive ones - moving.
"A lot of kids don't want to participate in team sports, so we offer camps and clinics to accommodate them," said Jeff Carpenter, the CYS Services Sports and Fitness program director.
Scheduled sports clinics include tennis, cheerleading, flag football, soccer, bowling and golf.
The idea is to introduce children to the sports, teach them the fundamentals and get them active.
Twenty-seven youngsters participated in a basketball clinic held June 23-25 in the Patch Fitness Center.
Payton Paro, 11, signed up to improve her technique. "I want to work on controlling the ball," she said.
Payton, who has played basketball since she was 4, recommends the clinic, especially for beginning players. "They walk you through everything, and teach you the basics," she said.
Mini-fitness camps are slated throughout the summer at youth and school-age centers on Patch and Kelley Barracks, and Panzer Kaserne.
The fitness camps will focus on speed and agility drills, according to Caitlin Smith, fitness specialist for CYS Services.
The drills help to promote fitness, and build balance, agility and speed skills. "The program mirrors what you'd do in an athletic training program," said Smith.
Smith is also leading an eight-week summer program for 12- to 18-year-olds called Start Moving' Start Livin'.
Adolescents can take part in weight training, indoor cycling and what Smith calls "boot camp in a bag."
Another program, Gym Ratz, runs through August. "It's an incentive-based program to encourage kids to keep moving," said Smith. Participants earn points for activities such as Frisbee, rock climbing or dog walking. The points can then be redeemed for prizes.
The programs are all part of a CYS Services fitness initiative that began last fall with a virtual "walk across Germany."
"We've been adding new programs ever since," said Smith.

He had also crashed in qualifying, sustaining cuts to his legs.
A team statement said the arm issue had "caused a loss of feeling and strength" throughout the Jerez weekend.
Iannone is expected to be fit to complete in the next race at Le Mans on May 19.
Pramac's other rider Ben Spies is also struggling with physical problems, sitting out Jerez to recover from lingering issues that began with his heavy crash in Australia last October.

Tribune Katrina editorial shows contempt for democracy
New Orleanians are all too familiar with having the important aspects of their lives ripped from their control, but they will they retake control of their schools.
Mayors hear biased view of California court decision vs. teacher tenure
There is an answer to public education's poor performance: money; we will have to pay for it, just as we pay for a massive military budget.
Gutting teacher tenure hurts the children
Public education is under attack. Our children are labeled failures and teachers are criticized as lazy, ineffective, and overpaid.
Do we need public education?
The public pays for charter schools through their taxes, has no input into their educational practices. Unlike Chicago public schools, neither parents nor community control anything a charter school does.
Chicago teachers educate a nation
It was nine days that shook Chicago, the 2012 teachers' strike changed the nation.
Part-time faculty pay reaching poverty level
The American Federation of Teachers recently highlighted the tenuous employment and poor compensation of part-time college teachers.
The truth about teacher tenure
A fight over teacher tenure is now raging because so-called education reformers have set their sights on destroying public education under the guise of saving it.
Chicago teachers agree: Children do deserve better
The kids of Chicago deserve better. They deserve a mayor who doesn't use them as political props.
A sickening situation in Philadelphia schools
The entire district is being dismantled and replaced by a for-profit system operated on behalf of the city by private corporations and charter schools; I'm so sickened.
War on women extends to workplaces
There are disturbing trends regarding war on women and the workplace, especially public sevtor workers, including teachers, and hotel and hospitality workers in the private sector.

The idea seems obvious, and the technology already exists. With the power of phones becoming equal to that of a laptop, the evolution to a combination seems inevitable. Already available (at least on eBay) is the Asus PadFone 2. This is a phone/tablet combination where the phone powers the tablet. You use the phone as normal, and when you want it to be a tablet, you slide it into the back of the tablet and presto, you're using your phone with a tablet interface. Add a wireless keyboard and a mount for the tablet, and you've basically got a PC. Yippee ki yay mamacita!
There are a variety of advantages to this. First, you have instant cellular data without needing to tether anything. Second, the arrangement of your desktop remains similar if not identical, so things are where you placed them. Third, all the files on your phone are still on your phone, but now accessible from your tablet. There's no need for transferring files across the cloud. Oh, you'll still use the cloud to back things up, and maybe to access them via machines (say your work PC vs. your home machines). But, if there's no cellular connection, or you don't want to place your data in the cloud, now you don't have to, and you'll still have access to a single set of files – the ones on your phone.
It's a cool idea, and technically, it should lower the cost of the tablet or PC. After all, your phone's processor is doing all the work, so none of those components will ever be needed in the tablet or the keyboard display system. Your phone becomes your computer. Your tablet and your keyboard/display become ways of accessing and using your phone.
The NexPhone concept intends to take that all the way, with a phone that is the source processor for a tablet and a PC. It uses a dock to connect with its keyboard / monitor combination. And it snaps to the back of its tablet to become a tablet.
Now, while the concept is sound, and it seems like a logical evolution in computing, there is always the issue of user adoption. Pen-based devices, for example, were available long before they were actually adopted by users. The Apple Newton failed miserably. It took the Palm Pilot to drive adoption of pen-based computing and hand-held data assistants. And it was still something of a niche market for decades before it was killed by smartphones that provided the same features and didn't require a pen for most of them. This phone/tablet/PC combination looks like it could be one of those concepts. It won't be adopted quickly, but it may have a niche market among certain types of users.
Personally, I like the idea of having my phone by my tablet and my PC, so long as the cloud can back up my files for me in case I lose the phone, or it quits working. And there's part of the detraction. If your phone goes out, then you've also lost your tablet and your PC. So it's not all rainbows and ponies here. Plus, there's still the cost for the convenience. I think what it will boil down to is how bothersome it is to use the cloud to transfer files. As cloud transfer systems like Google Drive, Microsoft SkyDrive, and Dropbox become easier and more secure, people may see no reason to upgrade to a combination system if they already have a computer, tablet, and phone. And in that regard, this concept may never take off. At least not initially. As we have seen, technological mutations can sometimes rise up well after their initial rejection. User adoption is a fickle beast, and can turn at a moment's notice.
I wonder where this idea will go. If you're reading this in the distant future, let me know what happened.

A couple days later, prestiage called my house and stated that they would be financing my car at the agreed interest rate. Not a problem I thought, the lady on the other end of the phone sounded pleasant enough, and I have no problems with any other company that I have worked with in the past.
Well, 30 days later the "account manager" called me up on my home phone to read me their rules. She said that she would be calling the day before the payment was due and if she could not get ahold of me and did not return the phone call within 24 hours that she would call my references, and that I had initialed a box on the contract stating that I understood that their was no grace peroid.
I told her to hold on and I retrieved the contract from my safe and looked at the contract. Sure enough, there was no place stating that there was no grace peroid and no box could be found eigther.
She rambeled on on how they were serious about it, and I told her it sounded like I got ahold of a bad company. She told me to get the car refinanced if I did not like it.
Well, I sent them a payment via bank wire the day before the payment was due, but the payment was only for half of the payment, but sure enough, she called the day before the payment was due to remind me to make the payment.
I told her I was going to make the payment on Friday, and that the payment was going to be a few days late. She ranted and pitched a fit about the payment being late, whatever.
The next morning (the day the payment is due) this lady from prestige called (same one as before) all upset about only receiving half a payment, and how prestige did not accept partial payments.
I told her to return the money to me if she did not want a partial payment. Well, needless to day she did not want to return the money to me but stated that I had 7 hours to get them the rest of the money. I told her; to-bad so-sad, she was going to have to wait until Friday (I had the money but love the fight) She got all upset and asked me to return the car to them. I laughed and asked where would she like me to return the car to. There was no answer and she stated that she was going to send someone right out to get "our car" and then she hung up on me.
I called my prepaid legal service and was told that if they wanted to repo the car let them, and that I was not late and that Arizona law gives 60 days after a late payment to allow them to repo the car. I was also told to clean the car up, take time dated pictures (dated via news paper), and wait for them to come, and if they don't come go ahead and make the payment.
Needless to say, no one ever came for the car. I find this company amuzing to deal with. Oh, I made the payment Friday morning.
I now have computer software that records phone calls between prestige and myself.
It is illegal for a creditor to threaten to do something they cannot to are not going to do. Sure, you can only sue them for $150.00 a pop, but hey, with this girls temper, it should be easy to make a creditor harrassment case.
I live down the street from the court house. I sued in small claims a company the has issues like prestige and won all the cases ( $1,500.00 lmit here in Arizona, small claims ). I look forward to prestige financial making some of the payment for me.
Oh, for those who are interested, you can file a withstraining order on Prestige to stop them from calling your references, especially if they are harrassing you or your references. Courts give them out like candy.
Surprise, Arizona

For some time now I've been wondering how to display the links list properly using this template tag.
It then popped in my mind that CSS allows '*' when styling an object child.
Whatever the parent object of '<?php get_links_list('id'); ?>' is, id it as "fixlinks", or anything else you'd like.
Add this to style.css:
#fixlinks * h2 {
font-size: medium; (or any font size wanted)
My link list's parent object was ul, so I added this style so I'll have no padding in it:
#fixlinks {
padding: 0;
Hope this is understandable, and mostly I hope this is needed.

Core - They demonstrate courage, fortitude, zeal and pugnacity. They have the mental and moral strength that enables them to venture into unknown waters and to persevere and withstand danger.

Nature - Their essential characteristic qualities are liveliness, energy, ardor, enthusiasm, courage and action. They have a firm, courageous and assertive disposition which is their most characteristic quality.
Drives - These people like to win or be the best in anything they pursue. Their aggressive nature makes them just one big ego.

They are very short-tempered and anger easily. They are straight-forward and have no reservations about hurting the feelings of others, and they are prone to inflict physical pain as well as mental pain. Just as the main virtue of this sign is being just and right, its main fault is deceit.

Friends, this is another tool we've been using for school that I LOVE that I would totally have been using all this year for Jacob, if I knew about it sooner.
It's called XtraMath and it's FREE.
You sign up with a parent account, and then add your kids. It takes about 5 minutes a day and works with them on math facts. Addition, subtraction, and then multiplication and so on. It is fabulous. Jacob was getting frustrated with it this week, so I've been sitting next to him and type the answers in – he's still learning a keyboard and sometimes gets the answers wrong or they show up as him getting them correct, but too slowly – and it's all because he just can't find the numbers quick and gets flustered. He's doing better with his confidence again and will probably be able to do it alone again next week.
From the parent screen you get a detailed report of how your child did each day.
Like I said, it's wonderful. And maybe one of you will like it, too.

"Entschuldigen Sie, ist das der Sonderzug nach Pankow?" (excuse me, is that the special train to Pankow) sang West German rocker Udo Lindenberg in his 1983 hit Sonderzug nach Pankow. In it, he suggested he'd sit down with East German leader Erich Honecker to ask, over a bottle of Cognac, to be allowed to perform in East Germany. He suggested that Honecker was really a closet rocker who'd don a leather jacket, lock himself in the toilet and listen to western radio, an image which, once you've got it in your head is hard to let go of.
I thought I'd grab a few snaps of Leipziger Straße on my way from the Mossehaus to Stadtmitte U-Bahn (that is, underground) station.
We've seen the idea of old meeting new already in the Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche and there are more modern buildings where it can also be seen in practise. It's a concept which goes back much further, though, as this next building shows - the Mossehaus.
So, the trip's coming towards its end...but there's still time for a few more things...
So, my next exciting destination is...
I take the U-Bahn from Platz der Luftbrücke up to Friedrichstraße. A pair of young women get on, giggling. They sit down a few seats away from me and giggle some more. They seem to have their heads bowed down, looking at something.
They have a large leather handbag placed between them. The head of a kitten appears from inside it, mostly white, with dark tabby brown ears. They both stroke it as it looks around. This certainly brings a new meaning to not letting the cat out of the bag.
When I said in my last post that I was headed for something connected with Hitler's Welthauptstadt Germania plans, this is what I meant. It's...
A block of concrete. With cracks in it. Exciting, isn't it?
The Schwerbelastungskörper (heavy loading body) was built in 1941 as part of the planning process for Hitler's desired transformation of Berlin into Germania.
Berlin is built on unstable ground, with sandy soil, no bedrock and a high water table. The engineers tasked with building Germania wondered whether the ground would be solid enough to hold some of the huge structures which Hitler had asked architect Albert Speer to create. He had planned a monumental axis running from north to south, with a colossal 117 metre high triumphal arch at the southern end, just a little further south from here and a huge Pantheon-like 'Volkshalle' at the northern end, near where the Reichstag is today.
The idea with the Schwerbelastungskörper was that if it sank less than 6cm in two years, the earth would be considered stable enough to build on; it sank 19. War intervened before Hitler's plans could progress any further.
I was actually on my way to somewhere else when I passed through Platz der Luftbrücke, so this is a particularly hastily taken picture, but it at least gives you something to look at...
The Platz der Luftbrücke is named to commemorate the Berlin Airlift.
The 'festival of freedom' yesterday was interesting, though not particularly exciting. It rained a lot, too! It was a long night though and quite tiring overall, so I've spent the day so far taking it easy and trying to clear the backlog of things to post here...not that I've succeeded yet! I'll post a full report about the festival of freedom later.
Anyway, it's time for me to get out there before it gets dark...and I think that now the wall has symbolically been knocked down a second time, it's time to take a look at the west.
Update 2013: The watchtower has been bought by a private investor, restored and is now open to the public daily from 14:00 - 18:00, except for when it's raining.
Hidden in a backstreet by Potsdamer Platz, the past is lurking among all the new buildings...
This particular watchtower was situated outside the wall's 'death strip', intended for watching people approaching the eastern side of the border. It's actually been moved a few metres to make way for the new buildings here on Erna-Berger-Straße, but it's now a listed monument, the last watchtower of its type (BT-6 for all you watchtower fans out there) still standing in Berlin. This type was designed to give a good view through all 360 degrees around it. They replaced these with larger, square watchtowers later, as it was difficult for the troops to get out quickly if they needed to.
There used to be a small section of the wall remaining on the corner where Erna-Berger-Straße meets Stresemannstraße. It's gone now, unfortunately, so this watchtower is now all that remains of the traces of the border in this area.

The evidence for the beneficial effects of physical activity grows ever more compelling, even as the discrepancy between promise and practice widens. Physical activity as part of daily living is associated with decreased risk for cardiovascular disease, stroke, cognitive decline, depression, diabetes, obesity, and all-cause mortality [1]. Yet the U.S. population grows increasingly sedentary. In a recent analysis of patterns and trends in physical activity, the U.S. Surgeon General reported that 15% of Americans older than 18 years of age engaged in regular vigorous activity, but 60% reported no regular or sustained leisure time activity, and 27% reported no leisure time activity at all [2]. The report cites the most recent Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988-1991), which said that 32% of women 65 to 74 years of age and 54% of women older than 75 years of age engaged in no leisure time physical activity. Comparable figures for men in the same age categories were 18% and 34%.

"Let no man's ghost return and say his training let him down." We just finished our second at sea training exercise and our Marines and Sailors pushed through the gut-check that is COMPTUEX and left it all on the mat. The complexities of amphibious operations are many, but the value of projecting power from ship to shore and having a sea-based crisis response force is what our Nation needs. Check out some final photos from Composite Training Unit Exercise 2016.
"For a Marine, every training day at sea with the U.S. Navy is key in growing bigger, stronger, and faster as an Amphibious Ready Group/Marine Expeditionary Unit Team." ~ Col. Clay C. Tipton, commanding officer, 11th MEU. Check out these Marines and Sailors as they conduct missions that all originated from U.S. Navy ships: long-range raid, direct fire artillery shoot, and a visit, board, a search and seizure!

No machine can match them Military working dogs and their handlers train together to keep the few and the proud safe during Large Scale Exercise 2016. Specialized search dogs are trained to find explosives and narcotics. Their sense of smell makes them more effective than mine sweepers, sonar and radar in finding such dangerous items.
Watch Marines Do What They Do Best ------------------------------------------- Marines with Kilo Company, Battalion Landing Team, 3rd Battalion 6th Marines and a platoon from 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion worked together to conduct a day raid Aug. 16, 2016 on Camp Davis airfield, N.C. The raid was a part of a mechanized raid course, which prepares the Marines for an upcoming deployment with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Sgt. Matthew Callahan)

Rovers had been particularly light in defence due to injuries and suspension but have deemed Foster expendable after he was with withdrawn at half-time of the 5-0 defeat to Peterborough last Saturday.
Foster was left out entirely as Ronnie Moore's side defeated Bolton on penalties to progress in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday with 40-year-old Ian Goodison turning in a vintage performance.
"After discussing things with Stephen it was agreed that it was in the best interests of both parties if we part company," Moore told Rovers' official website.
"I wish him the best of luck in his future.
"It leaves us short in an important position but I hope to bring in a replacement as soon as possible."
