Hello. I did some searching but I didn't quite find a recent thread on the subject here and on google.
Is anyone having troubles getting a replacement pre from hardware failure? In the past I walked in and walked out with no problems but now my local store mentioned they didn't have any at either location and that I should call up sprint support. I called up sprint support and they need me to send it off to their repair center ( asurion? ) to get inspected, then to get fixed / replaced if it truly needs it.
I think the fee itself for getting inspected is going to be as much as buying one online.
In any case I will see if the store will find me a palm pre model or pixi at this point but I have been looking at the prices for a Pre plus / 2 or a pixi plus or something. Too bad the veer isn't a cdma phone.
My phone is touching itself and calling 911 that was awesome. My fix was the preware - emergency dialer changer, you have to select ' call 911' then actually dial it. but that was awesome.
Lock button isn't working great ( super difficult to press ) my speaker cuts in and out ( suspected short in a ribbon cord ) also the 'antenna' cuts sometimes too it seems like.
I might just be stupid but maybe there is help available for me. Maybe I am missing something and you see a suggestion that could be raised.
Im about to just go to a regular cheapie phone and switch to a pay as you go plan.

Rumor! Thanks for the Idea. That is creative and I wouldn't have a problem with it except I think straight-talk is more strict on data usage. Most data I have used is around 10gb and I probably average 1.5gb a month and I have no problems with sprint. It is sub-par connection but it gets me needed technical information.
That is a really good idea and would save a few dollars a month but i would limit my internet experience when I need it.
I will ponder over that for a while.
I looked into your thread on straight talk about straight talk
I think my browsing can be reduced to under 3gb a month as a rule of thumb, but I even have months of just 300mb. So with that said! I should definitely get that going and grab an unlocked gsm veer and order up online their 'bring your own phone' setup

Yeah well they wanted me to pay for the inspection by asurion to get the phone inspected to make sure my claims are legit. They don't have any centers nearby.
Are you going to swap to a differet carrier / plan Mmacholda or did you go talk to a manager and explain your problem ?

There is no charge to do this. I have done this several times on my account. I have three lines with Sprint. 2 Palm Pre and one Pixi. If you have any specific questions please email me at [email protected]

I have an unboxed palm pre (phone only, no accessories, UK model - takes a sim) which is gathering dust and will likely never be used due to the Pre3 and Veer I also have.
Happy to let it go for peanuts (i got it for free, so not looking to profit) to keep a fellow webos user going. PM me if interested.

This is a kind-of Straight-talk specific question - So I really should ask them but if you get a chance to read this - Let me know!
One thing that I missed a little bit before - Straight-talk allows you to bring a Tmobile gsm phone or unlocked gsm phone - that runs on 850 & 1900mhz bands. Tmobile does NOT work well in my area from what I remember. I thought S-T used Verizon exclusively but I also thought Verizon was a GSM network - They are actually a CDMA network *** combination depending on the prepaid phone you select - So which do they use when you bring your own phone? just T-mobile/at&t?

Regarding switching Sprint to Straight Talk, which I just did... There is truth and wisdom in concerns about data use if you're used to Sprint. A) ST 3G is way the heck faster but B) It's unofficially restricted, esp. on AT&T SIM cards. Long story short, don't switch to ST if you're going to abuse data. They won't like you and you may lose your number.
Actual experience... I just ported my Sprint number to ST yesterday. I botched my zip code, forgetting I never updated my Sprint address after moving. A rep on the ST Facebook page connected me directly to a rep who got the port fixed. This was a PITA as they were asking about security questions I don't remember answering for Sprint. But they got me squared away and my Pre 3 was working before I hung up the phone.
So you can use either T-mo or AT&T network depending on the SIM you buy. Most GSM devices, including the Pre 3, etc, are 1900 MHz. On AT&T you're fine since they're 1900 MHz HSPA+.
But yes, you won't get fauxG on T-Mo if they haven't switched towers as you said. Check a crowd-sourced T-Mo coverage map here: Sightings of T-Mobile 3G/4G/HSPA+ coverage on 1900MHz (PCS/UMTS band II)
If you get your own SIM, right now you can't get the AT&T SIM through the ST site for some reason, only the T-Mo. Think the regular sized AT&T SIM is still available at walmart.com, though. That's where I got mine. The package with one-month service saves ya $5 too.

One other suggestion for the OP I'm surprised no one's made: Why don't you FrankenPre to a Pre 2? It sounds like your comms board is fine and activated. I did that while on Sprint too. It's a pretty posh little upgrade coming from a minus. No need to monkey with your service then.
(Although really, the 3G speeds on Sprint are dismal these days. )

Wow! Thank you so much for posting your experience. I am glad it is so recent as well.
Cliffs of my post:
AT&T may be spotty for me so I need to ask a friend or two. Does ST running on AT&T Roam at all or no?
this Straight Talk AT&T sim card you can also buy a t-mobile sim card through walmart or online as mentioned in the above post
Franken Pre is possible but I don't want to stay with Sprint because I am not under contract and the price is fairly high.
If you care to read some more explinations...
At home with Sprint I get a few bars of 'Evdo' and a few bars of ' 1x' back and fourth - very touchy based on weather conditions. I am in-between the edges of two tower ranges.
I checked your crowd sourced map and there is no sightings within 4 hours of my location.
I checekd AT&T Coverage - I used this coverage viewer.
I show up in a 'moderate' 'partner' coverage - not very good.
If straight-talk at&t doesn't roam on partners towers It will not be good.
Since Tmob is terrible in my area is bad - S-T T-mobile card is not an option.
this Straight Talk AT&T sim card should do the trick though after I do some testing.I
A franken Pre would be alright but I do not want to stay with Sprint because they are expensive. After 3 months on Straight-talk It will pay for a $80-$100 phone and from then on I will be saving money compared to Sprint.
So what I need to do now is find some friends of mine who use AT&T and ask them how their coverage is in this area and try their phone out at my place :P
Then if it all checks out I can run to Walmart and get that sim-card set for at&t and order up a Pre 2 or Veer ( nice to get a little upgrade once and a while - its been since 2010 that I had a different phone. That is why I am willing to spend $80-$100 versus just getting another new pre at ~$50 and having it last 6months.
Oah by the way ! I put a piece of tape over my battery cover speaker grill and that saved my loudspeaker. I used to get metal shavings in there all the time. Now my moisture detector tamper seal / case screw is sitting in there though Somehow it loosened itself out and the magnet sucked it in. I promise I didn't tamper with it!

Yeah, sounds like T-Mo's out.
To be sure, because I'm... thorough ... I got a SIM for the Pre 3 and didn't port my number at first. Basically paid for a full month of service just to try the coverage. Once happy, I got a fresh SIM to port to (fresh SIM necessary for port).
People say you can get the remainder of a service plan moved to a new card on the same account to save a bit, killing the old one. Sounds like a customer service nightmare to manage though, so I just bit the bullet on that one
And yeah, I didn't think Sprint 3G was worth the price anymore either. In your case you wouldn't have to go back on contract though. If you FrankenPre2, you'll just swap comm boards with no talking to Sprint. They'll think you're still on the same phone.
Don't forget with ST not to be data hungry either. In my case I'm around 1 GB/mo of cell data these days. If you can't adjust your usage to < 2GB/mo, this is a bad idea. If they're not happy they won't just throttle you, you may lose your account and cell number without warning. A service that simply throttles might be wiser. Cheers!

The problem with the pre minus is that they only last me 6-8 months before the shoulder button junks out. I can't imagine buying a USED Pre 2 and expecting it to perform for very long.

Now to the Veer: The biggest thing about it is the small size.
If you browse the web, reply on forums, watch videos or game very heavily that might be a deal breaker. The screen is small - no one can deny that. For my style of use it suits me just fine.
The whole thing is reduced. It's slim. Smart phone midget on a diet small. That's a huge plus for me. The most pocketable smart phone there ever was. The keyboard is small, but the button pushes are crisp and snappy. I have no problems firing off SMS all day. Even an occasional e-mail reply that just won't wait...
How does it compare to Pre? Which Pre? The only other one I've used is Pre 2...
Like the Pre 3, the Veer gets H+ data speed. It's noticeably faster than my Pre 2. GPS gets an accurate fix pretty quick (I use AGPS through Google Services). Seems a tad faster than Pre 2 there as well.
The call clarity and in call volume are top rate (on both ends of the conversation {I've asked friends on the other end how I sound}) - beats my Pre 2 where I never seem to get enough volume from the ear piece.
If I Bluetooth sync my Veer to my TouchPad I can send and receive both voice and SMS through the TP effortlessly.
I stay with 2.1.2 and haven't meta-doctored up to 2.2.4. TTS is not that big a deal to me. It breaks stereo over corded headsets (not Bluetooth headsets, however). The deal breaker for me is that going to 2.2.4 forces you to give up UberKernel. Veer does run fine at the stock 800 MHz and many users enjoy it that way. I just like the Overclock - and I do some other tweaks through Govnah that help me extend battery life. Everyone's set up is a bit different. I've found for my usage I can Overclock at peak loads (85% CPU capacity), yet still save juice over the long haul. The little Veer is mighty snappy and responsive at 1.344 GHz and I never get any stutter, overheat or other issues.
About that battery. Here is where small takes a hit. If you typically suck up a Pre battery in one dusk to dawn period then Veer may not satisfy you. The battery is also small at 942 mAH and is not easily replaced (you have to partially disassemble the phone).
I'm sure Pre 3 is nice. One day I may try one. I thought Veer would be a toy when I got one and it was cheaper than a Pre 3 so I got one as a stop-gap. I needed to trade up from Pre 2 (mostly because of the call quality and the 3G speed). Once I started using a Veer, however, my burning desire for a Pre 3 just faded out. Now It's more a curiosity or collector idea that I get a Pre 3.
Veer is a mighty little phone. Try one and see.

The criteria for ranking Washington's biggest draft needs is simple enough. Does it have reliable starters at the position, and if so, is there significant depth behind them? Further to that, does the 2014 class offer viable options at the position?
Jay Gruden and Bruce Allen have gone to great lengths to put Washington in the best possible position to succeed. With the cap penalty lifted, the free-agency acquisitions have been plentiful, and the roster looks better as a result.
There's no doubt that the expectation is higher, too. Robert Griffin III gets a full offseason to learn the new system as well as genuine weapons to throw to.
That's not for today's discussion, however. Instead, the draft remains the topic of conversation. Read on for the top five positions of need in D.C. ahead of the circus coming to town on May 8.

The deadline for filing claims for real property tax exemptions, condominium-use classification declarations and requests for agricultural use valuations for the 2013-14 tax year is Dec. 31.
Property owners affected by these deadlines include individuals claiming the basic home exemption, currently at $200,000; charitable organizations using their property exclusively for nonprofit purposes; public utility companies; low/moderate income housing; disabled veterans; Hansen's disease sufferers; those who are blind, deaf or totally disabled; child care providers; taro farmers; deployed active-duty military personnel; and those applying for the circuit breaker tax credit.
Property owners are reminded that to qualify for the property tax exemption, the document by which their interest in the property was acquired (deed, lease, assignment of lease, agreement of sale) must be recorded on or before Dec. 31 with the state Bureau of Conveyances.
A new claim does not have to be filed for property that already has an exemption if the conditions under which the exemption was granted have not changed. However, exemptions for child care providers, low/moderate income housing, public utility companies, taro farming and circuit breakers must be filed annually on or before Dec. 31 preceding the tax year being claimed.
For deployed active-duty military personnel, a claim for exemption must be filed on or before June 30 of the tax year for which the exemption is claimed. Proof of deployment is required.
A property owner who is currently receiving an exemption has the legal duty of reporting any change in the status of his or her ownership or use, such as sale of home or rental of premises, within 30 days. Failure to submit a report shall be cause for disqualification and penalty.
If a homeowner's parcel is delinquent and not paid in full by the end of the calendar year, the home exemption will be removed for the following assessment year. Once a homeowner's exemption has been removed, the property owner will not be allowed to reapply until the account is paid in full.
In filing a home exemption claim, it is recommended that all owners of record occupying the property sign the claim for exemption. This will help ensure the continuity of the exemption. To facilitate the filing process, the claimant should have the tax map key number of the property.
Condominium unit owners are required to declare the actual use of their condominium unit by Dec. 31, preceding the assessment year in effect. Owners are required to report any change in the attested actual use of the unit within 30 calendar days of the change.
Property owners on agriculturally zoned lands and seeking agricultural use valuation are required to submit a completed application by Dec. 31, preceding the assessment year being claimed.
For additional information, call 270-7297. Forms are available on the website www.mauipropertytax.com. Molokai residents may call (800) 272-0117 and ask for extension 7297. Lanai residents call (800) 272-0125 and ask for extension 7297.

Open University Postgraduate Conference
Keynote Lecture by Sarah Brouillette (Carleton, Canada)
Monday 19 July 2010, 9.30am-5.00pm
Institute of English Studies, University of London, Senate House, London WC1
This one day-conference aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum for postgraduate students. As a critical discipline postcolonial studies has challenged traditional ways of reading and engaging with the canon, but has also often been in conflict with other literary disciplines. This conference examines the role of postcolonial studies in relation to other critical disciplines, and asks what is the role of the creative voice in conflict zones? How do we read during conflict? And what is the role of publishing during conflict? We invite 20-minute papers, as well as 60-minute panel proposals, from postgraduate students and early career researchers that engage with, but are not limited to, the following topics:

what is the disadvantage of #define
tell me what is the disadvantage of #define?
and what do u mean by run time error and compile time error??
Re: what is the disadvantage of #define
Hi ankitsjain
#define is not type safe
#define's replaces any code that follows that in the main program where ever they are referred to.So more the code you place after #define more the compile time.
Errors that arise during compilation due to syntax,semantics,type mismatch,etc.For example
int main(void)
int a;
//no closing braces
Errors that arise at runtime.eg.stack overflow errors,errors due to insufficient memory,opening a file that does not exist,etc.
Happy programming
Re: what is the disadvantage of #define
Disadvantages of #define,
1. Preprocessor not doing type checking
2. May not store variable in symbol table
3. Need to care for parenthesis
4. Preprocessor hard code #define variable. Code size become bulky
5. Any changes in macro , need to re-compile all source code.
1. Compile Time error
Error encounter while compiling program by compiler, like syntax error, type checking errors etc.
For example, Declare preprocessor variable in header file and same use in another source
file. At time of compilation, compiler never know about preprocessor variable as preprocessor
replace it with it's macro value and Preprocessor variable may not store into symbol table for debugging purpose.
It make sometime difficult to trace error root point if we had not written header file.
2. Run time Error
Error encounter at time of executing program by operating system, like referencing null pointer,
insufficient memory for allocation etc.
Example, If macro body has not taken care with parenthesis on mathematical operations.
Macro Example :
#include <iostream>
Re: what is the disadvantage of #define
Because a-b=0, so following will happen run time error:
int a=3;
int b=3;
int c=3/(a-b);
When compile it, it can't discover a-b=0;
The following will happen compile time error:
int a=3;
double b=3.1415;

Slow shopping scheme launches in Newcastle
Thousands head to the shops for Boxing Day sales
Thousands of bargain hunters queued up across the North East to get their hands on the best bits of the Boxing Day Sales.
In North Tyneside, a huge queue of savvy shoppers snaked around the Silverlink shopping park to be among the first into Next at 6am.
The first shopper reportedly arrived at 2.55am.
Syeda Ahmed, 35, from Monkseaton, said she was there to buy clothes for her two children and said she goes to the store every year.
She said: "I am heading straight to the children's section but could be tempted by some other bargains for myself if any stand out."
Nationally, online shoppers are expected to spend £748 million today, or £519,000 a minute, and make 167 million visits to retail sites - up 29% on last year, according to data firm Experian and online retailing trade association IMRG
Hundreds queue for Next sale
Thousands of shoppers queued from around 3am to get their hands on the best Boxing Day bargains.
A large queue spread around the Next Silverlink shopping park in North Tyneside as customers waited for the doors to open at 6am.
Within minutes of the doors opening, the store was packed - and remained so for much of the day.
Full report: Shoppers warned over counterfeit goods this Christmas
You would not give money to criminals or buy dangerous toys. However, that is exactly what you could be doing if you buy counterfeit goods this Christmas.
The UK Border Force has already stopped fake goods worth millions of pounds from coming into the country.
And it is warning shoppers to be careful about what they buy and where they buy it.
Kerry Swain investigates.
North East's busiest shopping weekend
As Christmas approaches, it is predicted that more than £4 billion will be spent by an estimated 30 million shoppers this weekend alone.
In our region, shopping centres including the MetroCentre in Gateshead were packed with people hoping to bag some bargains. Towns and cities including Sunderland and those in Redcar and Cleveland are offering free parking at evenings and weekends to draw in the crowds.**
Julie Harrison reports.**
Norröna brings hundreds of shoppers from Faroe Islands
Shoppers from the Faroe Islands have made an eight hundred mile round trip to get their hands on Christmas presents for family and friends back home.
For the fourth year in a row, passengers have visited the region to shop in Newcastle City Centre and at the MetroCentre - bringing a boost to the North East's economy.
The Faroese are said to be fond of British food, and in particular fish and chips and Cadbury's Dairy Milk - a rarity in Denmark.
"We have welcomed a record number of cruise and ferry passengers this year, almost doubling passenger numbers and cruise calls.
The Port's passenger operations generate almost fifty million pounds each year in terms of tourst spend in the region, supporting over 1700 jobs."
- Andrew Moffat, Chief Executive Officer for Port of Tyne
Out-of-town development 'makes no sense'
Council leaders in York admit businesses in the city centre will suffer following the decision to approve a controversial out-of-town shopping centre and sports stadium.
A new John Lewis store will open at Monks Cross on the outskirts of the city along with a Marks and Spencer store. The shopping scheme will help fund a new sports stadium for York City and the city's rugby league club.
Adam Sinclair from the Chamber of Trade says the plans make no sense, but Councillor James Alexander defended York City Council's decision.
- Tim Backshall
There's controversy over a decision to approve an out of town shopping development in York. Business leaders and the council are at odds.
A new John Lewis store will open at Monks Cross on the outksirts of the city along with a Marks and Spencer store. The council has defended its decision but the local Chamber of Trade says it makes no sense
The shopping scheme will help fund a new sports stadium for York City and the city's rugby league club.
Portas helps the high streets
Five of the region's high streets struggling with shop closures are to get half a million pounds from the Government. North Tyneside, Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Darlington and Hartlepool will get 100 thousand each to help new businesses.
It comes after the Government accepted Mary Portas's recommendations - the star of Mary Queen of Shops and the Bottom Line.
Business owners angry at shopping complex plans
Business owners in Cannon Park are angry at council plans to redevelop the area and turn it into a shopping complex. They could be forced to move their premises to another part of town. A council meeting will take place today and proposals are expected to be put out to public consultation.

AUSTIN (AP) - A House committee voted 6-2 on the James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Act, named in memory of the black man dragged to his death behind a truck in East Texas last June.
"I know that if this bill is passed, it will not bring my brother back," Louvon Harris, Byrd's youngest sister, told the Judicial Affairs committee Thursday. "But I have friends and family who still have to live in this society. I want it passed for them."
Voting against the legislation were vice chairman Rep. Will Hartnett, R-Dallas and Rep. John Shields, R-San Antonio.
"A crime is a crime, and the fact that one child could be killed and punished differently than another child because of the motivation of the killer is not equal protection under the law," said Hartnett.
The bill now moves to the Calendars Committee for consideration before the full House votes on it.
The legislation would increase the criminal penalties for hate crimes; appoint a prosecutor in the attorney general's office to investigate hate crimes; provide specialized training for police officers; set aside money for small towns that cannot afford to prosecute such crimes; and provide civil remedies for victims. It also includes a protective order that victims of hate crimes could use against their attackers.
Public testimony, which lasted four hours, started with a dramatic slide show by committee chairwoman and bill author Rep. Senfronia Thompson.
"Hate feeds on itself," the Houston Democrat said as she flipped images of the Holocaust and the Ku Klux Klan. "It knows no boundaries and recognizes no moral code. Every act of hate is a small act of genocide."
Emotional testimony also came from gays and lesbians, many of whom described their own brushes with hate because of their sexual orientation.
Gwendolyn Tryals of Texas City mourned for her gay brother Kevin, who was shot three times and set on fire in January. "No one should have to go through this because . . . they go in the opposite direction of the majority," she said.
A Houston City Council member, Annise Parker, described how a neighbor once screamed obscenities and threatened to shoot her because she was lesbian and lived with her lover.
Rev. Colleen Darraugh of Harvest Metropolitan Community Church in Denton recalled how a rainbow flag - a gay and lesbian symbol - was burned in front of her church in January.
"Hate is hate, and it doesn't make a difference if you're black, brown or white," said T. C. Calvert, president of the Neighborhoods First Alliance in San Antonio. "But it always starts with vandalism, vicious words, and graffiti on college students' doors . . . and that's where we need to intervene."
Groups who spoke against the bill included the Texas Eagle Forum and the American Family Association of Texas.
"This law would make name-calling a crime," said Loralei Gilliam, who spoke on behalf of the Austin-based AFA.
When pressed by committee members whether she would support the bill if it did not include sexual orientation, Ms. Gilliam did not answer. In a later interview, however, she said she did not support the bill because Texas has sodomy laws and "the act of homosexuals is illegal."
Protesting in front of the Capitol's gates, Rocky Otwell was a bit more blunt.
"The homosexuals don't want us Christians speaking out against their ungodly lifestyle. Don't pass a new law that would affect the speech of others," said the 39-year-old carpenter and member of the Heritage Baptist Church of Mount Enterprise.
Of the 331 hate crimes reported to the Texas Department of Public Safety in 1997, 46.4 percent targeted blacks.
Hate crimes against gays and lesbians were second at 17.8 percent, followed by crimes committed because of religious bias at 9.2 percent, DPS officials said.

Northumberland's proud musical heritage is being highlighted by a Newcastle University project to support rural arts.
The Northumbrian Exchanges initiative was set up to support rural communities by stimulating economic development through cultural activity, helping countryside residents get more involved with music and art and supporting businesses in those areas.
The £200k project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, looks at three key areas: music, visual arts and rural economies.
Researchers have worked closely with Allenheads Contemporary Arts, Tarset based Visual Arts in Rural Communities and the Holy Island Partnership to investigate how such organisations can remain sustainable in the age of austerity.
Arts researcher Julie Crawshaw became a part-time resident on Lindisfarne as she sought to build an understanding of the priorities and interests of the people who lived there. She ran a series of workshops, including photography and dance at their request.
Project lead Professor Eric Cross said: "The recession has had a significant impact on the rural economy and on arts organisations, which are finding funding increasingly hard to come by.
"However, these organisations can play a very important role in the life of a rural town or village and we wanted to look at the ways we could use the University's expertise to support them. Our intention wasn't to tell them what they should be doing, we wanted to hear their views and understand what they needed first so that we could work as a genuine partnership to develop appropriate solutions.
"This project has been incredibly diverse but also very rewarding. The arts are an important part of life – both in the pleasure they bring to people but also in the way they can bring prosperity to a community. This project has provided fascinating evidence about this balance between cultural and economic value, as well as the differences between rural and urban contexts."

MARTINSBURG - Students at Toddler Tech Preschool started their year with a variety of activities.
The first field trip was to the Discovery Museum in Winchester, Va. Jan Kirby did an excellent job with the program, "Seeds." She told a story about seeds, talked about taste buds, showed the insides of several fruits and vegetables, then let the children sample them. Jan took them into a classroom where each child planted a lima bean in a clear container so they could watch it grow. After the program, everyone spent time enjoying all the hands-on activities throughout the museum. Before leaving, they bought a souvenir to take home. Thanks to all the parents who braved the first field trip.
In conjunction with a unit of study on insects, birds and animals, the school held "pet day." Everyone brought their pets for show and tell. Animals included several dogs, cats, chickens, a hamster, goldfish and a pot belly pig. Those without pets brought stuffed animals.

The second field trip was to Ridgefield Farms in Jefferson County. The children went on a hay ride, were guided through a large corn maze, and then went to pumpkin school. They learned how pumpkins grow, viewed the inside of a pumpkin and talked about things you could do with them after they were ripe. Each child was given several seeds to plant at home. Everyone then went to the pumpkin patch and chose a pumpkin to take home and carve into a jack o'lantern. Last stop was a large pirate ship where they could climb, slide, walk the deck and steer the boat. Ridgefield Farms did an excellent job with the field trip and the children had a wonderful time.
A variety of strange creatures filled the classroom as the students arrived in costume for their Halloween party. The day began with a parade of costumes. After playing several games, everyone received a prize. Refreshments were served and then the highlight of the party came when a pinata was brought into the room. All the children took turns trying to break open the pinata. Christopher Williams, with a little help from Mrs. Mann, dealt the final blow and all the children scurried for the treats as they fell. Everyone had a great day and left with lots of goodies and helium balloons.
A special activity in November was the parents' dinner, held at Westview Baptist Church. The students made vegetable soup (each child added several ingredients) and their families came
to enjoy the meal with their child. The Asian Garden Restaurant provided several dishes from their menu to accompany the soup. While the soup was cooking, the students made Indian headbands and wampum bead necklaces. After the dinner, everyone joined in for the Limbo, the Chicken Dance, the Hokey Pokey and several games. Thanks to the Mann and Brooks families for their assistance.
The students spent December preparing for the Christmas program. Lots of ornaments were made for their trees. Songs needed to be learned, a contest picture needed to be made, parents' gifts needed to be ready, practice took place every day and they did great getting it all done. The main event took place at Otterbein United Methodist Church. The children presented a program for their family and friends. Several songs were sung. Thanks to Christopher Williams, who was a wonderful Rudolph. Ava Capallia
and Lydia Lineburg won the Christmas card contest.
Earlier in the month, a picture was taken of each student and inserted into a felt wreath ornament. The children presented them to their parents at the end of the program. The highlight of the evening was the arrival of Santa Claus, who visited with each child and handed out presents to everyone. Thanks to Harley Tetro for making this possible. Refreshments were served while guests mingled and the children checked out their gifts from Santa. Thanks to the Mann family and Paula Jones for their assistance.
All the special activities and field trips were interesting, informative and thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks were extended to everyone who helped make this possible. In addition, a special thanks goes to all the parents who helped transport the children and served as chaperones.

A scene near the beginning of Shoot 'Em Up features Clive Owen's character trying to find a way to kill as many people in the room as possible -- so he shoots a can of oil, which pools heavily on the concrete floor, then leaps into the pool of oil and sliiiiides across the room, gunning down bad guys all the way. The scene is representative of Shoot 'Em Up as a whole: improbable things, even dumb things occur, but the movie just glides along, moving quickly and almost effortlessly, going for the next target and the next, while keeping you occupied for 90 minutes. Writer-director Michael Davis has delivered the smartest stupid movie I've seen this year.
One thing you cannot deny about Shoot 'Em Up is that it lives up to its title. Watching this movie feels more like you're watching a beautifully rendered videogame played by a master. Owen stars as the enigmatic Mr. Smith, who is sitting at a bus stop when he notices a pregnant woman being pursued by a disreputable character or two. He reluctantly interferes, and ultimately finds himself saddled with a newborn baby that the nasty Mr. Hertz (Paul Giamatti) is determined to kill. He tries to persuade a lactating hooker (Monica Bellucci) to help care for the baby while he finds a safe place for them all, but Hertz is ruthless. The plot takes a backseat to the action scenes, though, with the occasional chase scene for good measure. Owen's badass Smith and Giamatti's repellent badguy Hertz rack up a body count that is probably greater than that in all of the films I've seen this year put together. The "sliding" trick I mentioned earlier is repeated frequently, because nothing looks cooler than a guy sliding across a floor, or a countertop, or under a table, and blowing away as many adversaries as possible. Gunfights occur in a bordello, in a weapons factory, on a plane, in midair (parachutes are involved) and in flagrante delicto, during one of the most repulsively fanboy-ish sex scenes I have ever encountered. The violence is generally cartoonish and includes a lot of dismembered body parts.
The action scenes are punctuated with dumb one-liners and obvious humor, often related to Smith's quirk of continually eating raw carrots (because they're good for your eyesight). The jokes aren't the type that you can quote or recount afterwards, because they're terribly lame, but in the context of the over-the-top action scenes they work, and you do end up being amused. Shoot 'Em Up contains horribly cliched dialogue, misogyny, illogical plot twists, inconsistent characterizations and some ridiculous climactic scenes ... but it zips along at a fast but not whirlwind pace. Giamatti's delightfully sleazy badguy and Owen's deadpan antihero are each fun to watch in their own way. Seeing Owen toting around a baby (not to mention assisting with its birth) made me wish a little that I were watching Children of Men again instead, but the two movies have nothing else in common -- this is a movie that discourages analysis and works only on the most superficial level.
Shoot 'Em Up may be my guilty pleasure film for this year. I am almost ashamed to have liked a film that is little more than gun-heavy action scenes strung together with the dumbest plot ever, and yet I was entertained even when I was rolling my eyes at the inane humor and the sexism and the overall stupidity. It's a tough film to quantify in a review -- I told my husband when I got home from the screening, "It was terrible, but I had a good time watching it." At least this dumb movie held my interest, unlike other August/September releases I've seen. If you like watching a lot of people shoot and get shot in a variety of ways, see this movie in a theater so you won't miss a single detail.

There is no movement by anyone in Washington, D.C., to end the government shutdown.
That means, among other things, that National Park guards were instructed to chase people away from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall the other day. Barricades were erected around the World War II Memorial and, when two groups of WWII vets ignored the barricades, the gates were wired shut to make it harder to ignore them and, according to an Ohio TV station, a group of vets planning a visit this week were told they would be arrested if they went through the gates.
What makes this even more insulting is that neither of these memorials is fenced in. And you don't need a federal guard or tour guide to view them.
But they're closed because the park guards are supposedly furloughed because of the government shutdown. Yet, it seems it's costing the government more to keep them closed than to just leave them alone.
Some National Parks employees have been quoted as saying they have been told to keep the memorials closed and make it as difficult as possible for people to get to them.
I'm sure this is because the administration wants to show us all what morons the Republicans, or maybe just the Tea Party Republicans, are. What it shows me is that these clueless elected officials, Republican and Democrat, from the White House to the Senate to the House, who are not losing a dime in pay and are not being forced to be subjected to the Affordable Care Act or Social Security or Medicare or the WIC program, and who apparently have no need for the government services that have been shut down, and who are doing nothing to reverse this reprehensible slide, are arrogant, asinine, utterly loathsome human beings.
I've heard reports that the shutdown means CDC isn't protecting us from disease and the FDA isn't testing for salmonella and e-coli.
But those running the country and making laws seem to be above all that petty nonsense like disease and default.
Right now, removing them all from office and replacing them with unelected regular people from the street with no political affiliations would be a grand idea. It will take awhile to vote them all out of office — but I have the feeling we won't do that, anyway.
We'll gripe and we'll grouse and we'll lose money, benefits for which we have paid in full and which are, indeed, entitlements.
There have been not-so-funny jokes: If the government is shut down, has it stopped spying on us all? If the government is shut down, who's answering the phones for the Affordable Care Act Marketplace? If the government is shut down ... well, none of them are all that funny, are they?
Everything the government does these days feels arrogant to me. I have no idea who is to blame. Everything just feels out of control, like a runaway train headed for a steep decline.

Kleinspiration: A Must Use Tech & Teaching Resource
A Pearl among the Many Oysters! Chances are all educators have found a few blogs to follow for teaching ideas, technology integration, or personal reflection. Every now and then there is an exceptional site that must be shared with educators--in this particular case, the elementary teacher. In this beautiful, attention-getting website, Erin Klein, has quickly developed an award-winning site, Kleinspiration. In less than a year, Mrs. Klein's site has received one of the Top 50 Elementary Teacher Blogs by Teacher Certification Degrees awards. Sharing ideas, lessons, and tech integration activities from her classroom, there's more to this site than pedagogy. There are cool tool links to products like a USB Beverage Cooler and a staple-less stapler. Coupon links, web tools and software recommendations round out the endless supply of teacher aides to assist curriculum and tech-minded elementary teachers.

Let's assume, for the purposes of this post, that Speaker of the House Glenn Richardson/famed economist Arthur Laffer's tax plan for Georgia is a fairer system; that it won't significantly raise taxes for the poor or middle class; that it will spur growth (without somehow also exacerbating our water issues) and expand the economy so that everyone's tax burden goes down.
Here's why it still won't pass: It's too much. Instead of lowering property taxes, or doing away with them on people's primary home, or putting in some kind of circuit breaker for people on fixed incomes, or doing away with some of the sales tax exemptions politicians say they hate but keep voting in, or doing any of a hundred other small things, it goes after the whole enchilada.
No more property taxes. A new sales tax on services instead and something between a $8.5 and $10 billion swing in revenue collection. People can't grasp it. There's no way to predict how their tax burden will actually change. It scares the $(*% out of them.
Even the speaker's office can't or won't show the math it's using to say the tax will raise enough money to keep all these local governments running.
What the hell does this have to do with Darwin? I ran across this quote last night. He was talking about why no one would believe in the concept of natural selection, despite the fact that it seemed to make a lot of sense:
The chief cause... is that we are always slow in admitting any great change of which we do not see the intermediate steps. ... The mind cannot possibly grasp the full meaning of the term of a hundred million years; it cannot add up and perceive the full effects of many slight variations, accumulated during an almost infinite number of generations.
My prediction? We'll see some sort of tax reform when the General Assembly convenes next year. But not so sweeping as has been suggested.
Of course, what I don't know could fill a warehouse.

The conference is hosted by the research programmes Media, Communication and Society and Cultural Transformations, Department of Aesthetics and Communication, Aarhus University, Denmark.
Venue: Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark, 24-26 October 2013.
Television is by no means coming to an end, as some scholars predict. Television is, however, in transition. Digitalization, multiple media platforms and the mushrooming of television channels have changed its nature, in production, distribution, programming and content. The conference "Making Television in the 21st Century" will focus on these changes in the television landscape.
How will television, the major communication medium of the last sixty years, survive in a new century? What theories will best help researchers and publics to understand changes in the television industries, and in television production? This conference invites research and reflection on these and other questions. We invite papers on any aspect of television production and distribution. While the emphasis is on production and on industry, this in no way precludes analysis of texts, genres and subjectivities. Indeed, research that integrates consideration of these questions with industry and production analysis is encouraged.
Confirmed keynote speakers:
John Thornton Caldwell, University of California Los Angeles, USA, author of Production Culture (Duke University Press, 2008)
David Hesmondhalgh, University of Leeds, UK, author of The Cultural Industries (3. edition, Sage, 2013) and Creative Labour (Routledge, 2011)
Lothar Mikos, Hochschule für Film und Fernsehen "Konrad Wolf", Potsdam, Germany, co-editor and co-author of Transnationale Serienkultur (Springer, 2013)
Invited keynote speaker:
Lotte Lindegaard, Head of DR1, Danish Radio and Television Corporation, Denmark
Abstracts (maximum 300 words) or panel proposals (minimum 3 speakers, 300 words rationale plus 300 words per paper) should be submitted to Lothar Mikos by 1 May 2013 at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A coffee shop manager is responsible for running the day-to-day operations of their establishment. He or she may have an ownership stake in the shop or may simply be hired to run the location. This person normally oversees all aspects of operations, including scheduling, purchasing, hiring decisions, and supervising shifts.Read More...
Coffee shop managers usually have an early start to their days, since peak hours for many shops are mornings through the afternoon. As a result, many managers usually begin their shifts by 4:00 a.m. or sooner. The coffee shop manager prepares their store for the coming day, making sure the shop and restrooms are clean, and that all necessary coffee and related supplies are ready behind the counter for the use of the baristas during the day.
At various times through the week, the manager inventories supplies in the coffee shop and completes any purchasing based on these assessments. The manager may be called upon to help check-in deliveries and ensure the accuracy of shipments received. While some coffee shops may have a bookkeeper, the manager also must mark invoices as received and ready to pay so that the owner or accountant can remit payment.
To be a coffee shop manager, normally an individual needs prior experience in a food or beverage service environment. Many coffee shops hire from within and promote their best hourly employees to this position. The hours for these managers are normally fairly early in the day, although this may vary depending on the shop's hours. Most coffee shop managers are expected to work 45 to 50 hours per week and spend the bulk of their workday on their feet.

Lovers and food lovers: Draw a big red heart around Sunday, Feb. 9.
A warm-up for Valentine's Day, the inaugural Taste in Tempe, is 1-4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 9, at the Tempe Center for the Arts, 700 W. Rio Salado Parkway, with dozens of Valentine's Day/romance-themed vendors, including jewelry, flowers, chocolates and pastries, wine seminars, samplings from craft breweries and cooking demonstrations by Valley chefs and restaurants' sampling menus.
Among the 30 restaurants, 30 wineries and 30 craft breweries expected to attend are Rubio's; Elizabeth's Moments of Joy, Uncle Bear's Brewhouse Grill and Uncle Bear's Grill & Tap, Santan Brewing Co., Arizona Catering, La Bocca, Handlebar, Four Peaks Brewing Company and Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant.
Even super-tough Mike Ditka will attend in the spirit of Valentine's Day and to represent his Ditka's at Vee Quiva Hotel & Casino –– the only one of his restaurants this side of the Mississippi. The first tight end inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the former coach of the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints opened his first restaurant in Chicago. On Sunday, he will be joined by Chef Andy Moy, who will prepare some of Ditka's signature dishes.
"With great food presented by our many fine local chefs, our location sets Taste in Tempe apart from the other fine culinary festivals in the area," said Don Fassinger, spokesman for the event and manager for the Tempe Center for the Arts, which has partnered with CBS Radio and R-Entertainment Company to bring Taste in Tempe to the community.
There will be live music and entertainment.
"The afternoon will include events inside the award-winning Tempe Center for the Arts and our beautiful 17-acre art park on the shores of Tempe Town Lake, with vistas of the mountains to the north," Fassinger said.
Each of the restaurants will be serving its specialties at Taste in Tempe, with many of the pork and vegetables supplied, respectively, by the Arizona Pork Council of Casa Grande, and Crooked Sky Farms of Phoenix.
Chef Craig Driml, of Uncle Bear's Brewhouse Grill, will serve Pulled Pork Sliders, and Head Brewmaster Robert Dewar will offer samples of Uncle Bear's Valley-brewed craft beer.
Opened in 2013, the Valley-based family of Uncle Bear's restaurants are designed to resemble the places that Bear, the company's Labrador-mix mascot, or anyone's dog, might frequent, such as the garage, backyard or home.

IT IS bad form to begin by rejecting one's assigned title but I must register a dissent with the names given the physician about whom I address my remarks: "primary," "personal," "first contact," "general," "comprehensive," "continuing," and "family." He might even be called a "Millis" physician since the Millis Report1 was specifically concerned with this character. An excellent definition is also provided by the National Commission on Community Health Services (1966)2—"Every individual should have a personal physician who is the central point for integration and continuity of all medical and medically related services to his patient." "His concern will be for the patient as a whole and his relationship with the patient must be a continuing one."
The Commission, then, recognizes that a number of kinds of physicians are now serving such a role. Among them are general practitioners and such specialists as internists, pediatricians, obstetricians, and

Twenty years after the Three Tenors moved the aria from the opera house into the sports arena, it's still a bit odd — bizarre, even — to listen to Verdi while the woman next to you washes down French fries with a 24-ounce plastic cup of Bud Light.
But if you can check your purism at the metal detectors, the popera experience can be a rewarding one, as Andrea Bocelli demonstrated Friday night before a nearly sold-out American Airlines Center.
The 54-year-old Tuscan tenor is no stranger to 18,000-seat barns, having made his Dallas debut back in 2000 at Reunion Arena. Where it once took three tenors to fill a hockey arena, now it takes just Bocelli, although he brought along a full orchestra and chorus and two guest singers: Cuban soprano Maria Aleida and Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins, who is also a Dancing with the Stars finalist. Bocelli mixed up his TV talent-show contestants and introduced Jenkins as Katherine McPhee, the American Idol runner-up, but quickly corrected his error.
Given the army of performers onstage, you'd expect muddy acoustics in an oversized cave like the AAC. But the show's greatest triumph was the sound. It wasn't the Palais Garnier or even the Winspear. But a top-notch speaker system pumped every last note clearly to the top of the upper deck, which is more than you get at most AAC rock concerts.
It could have been amusing to see Bocelli go full arena-rock and sync his voice to lasers, explosions and confetti bombs. Instead, he aimed for low-key popera, the main visual gimmick being a video screen nearly as gigantic as the one at Rangers Ballpark. Images of snow-covered mountains and laughing children merged seamlessly with live shots of Bocelli until it all kind of felt like a PBS pledge drive special.
Bocelli catered to opera fans early in the show with pieces from La Traviata and The Merry Widow before serving up a well-measured blend of Italian standards ("Mamma," "'O surdato 'nnammurato"), Christian hymns ("Ava Maria," "Amazing Grace") and crossover hits (he bid arrivederci with his '90s smash "Time to Say Goodbye").
"New York, New York" didn't really swing — Bocelli's thick Italian accent and operatic phrasing made it sound more like a parody than a pop standard. But that was just one minor misstep in a show that managed to mix classical with pop and stay largely Velveeta-free.

The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra is launching its 2012-13 season with a gala concert at 8 p.m. Saturday in Kleinhans Music Hall. The concert features flute superstar Sir James Galway, playing Mozart's Flute Concerto No. 2.
Galway and BPO Music Director JoAnn Falletta just performed a very high-profile concert together in England. They joined forces for Falletta's debut at the Proms, London's internationally renowned classical music festival. Televised and broadcast, the concert was seen and heard by millions.
In contrast, the Buffalo concert will have an intimacy to it. It has an Irish flair. Rounding out the concert is the "Irish Symphony" by Sir Hamilton Harty, a composer from Northern Ireland.
"I chose the Irish Symphony in honor of Sir James," Falletta told The News. "Hamilton Harty was from Belfast, as Jimmy is, and the city and country are very proud of them both. My new friends in Northern Ireland were thrilled that the Buffalo audience would be listening to their most important composer; they can't wait to hear what our audience thinks about the work.
"The piece is a lyrical, romantic tribute to the beautiful landscape and warm-hearted people of the Emerald Isle."
Also for the gala concert, Galway will be joined by his wife, Lady Jeanne Galway, for "Mozart's Magic Flutes," a piece by David Overton that is a riot of melodies by Mozart. The Galways played it before with the BPO, and the audience loved it.
Admission is $42-$92. For info, call 885-5000.

Be honest: What happens to the hockey bag at the end of the season? You come home from your last game of the long season, pull it out of the car, toss it in the garage and forget about it for the time being, right? The next time you open the bag—whether it's a week from now for a skating lesson, a month from now for a spring league or five months from now for tryouts—one thing is for sure: It's going to stink.
Smell is not the only problem, however, as players can easily get infections from unclean gear. Plus, that equipment is not going to grow or repair itself in the bag in the off season. We know you're busy, but it's important to drag that bag into the house right now and spend a few minutes cleaning it out and surveying the equipment. It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to figure out what needs to be cleaned, repaired and/or replaced. (And don't be deterred by the fact that teenage boys take pride in their stink, are embarrassed to open a clean and organized bag, and may even accuse you of jinxing them!)
Quick Tip: Ready to stop reading because you're just not going to deal with this now? That's fine, just do yourself a favor. Go outside and least open the bag so the equipment has a chance at drying. (Secret: That's what I'm going to do. I'm also going to hang up the sticks so they don't get run over by bikes…)
In researching this topic, I read pages and pages of laugh-out-loud advice about cleaning and storing hockey equipment—"If there is any odor at all, it is important to clean the gear right away" and "Only use your hockey bag to transport your equipment never for storage" are two favorites. Then, I isolated the most practical and pertinent steps for you:
- Wash & Toss: Throw all the socks, practice jerseys, Under Armour, etc. in the wash, using a disinfecting cycle if you have one. Then, before you spend time cleaning, survey your equipment. If something is flat out ruined—a cracked helmet, for example—toss it now.
- Skates: Be sure your skates are clean and dry, then put deodorizing foot powder in them.
- Pads: You can find plenty of instructions online for washing pads in the washing machine or bathtub, or you can use a professional service. Just be sure to check the cleaning guidelines from the manufacturer*.
- Helmet: As mentioned, first check the helmet for cracks. If it's cracked, replace it before you skate again. If it's in good shape, clean it according to manufacturer guidelines.
- Mouth Guard: Clean the mouth guard by brushing it with toothpaste, rinsing it with mouthwash or running it through the dishwasher. If you don't have a storage container for it (which you should also clean), put it in a baggy.
- Bag: Clean the inside of the bag with disinfecting spray or wipes. If necessary, spray the bag with an odor eliminator.
- Repack: Once all the clothing and gear is really dry, you can repack the bag for storage. Throw in a few dry sheets to keep it smelling fresh and leave the bag slightly open. If you have space, try using something like the Octopus Equipment Hanger to hang your equipment for the off-season.
If any of your nice, clean equipment has reached resale or hand-me-down status, set it aside. This is a good time to buy new equipment as it's often on sale, and you can work on finding used equipment a new home over the summer. As you repack, check the condition of your equipment—do you need laces, a mouth guard, a helmet strap? If you're not going to handle this now, at least leave a note in the bag so you'll know what to do before you skate again.
*No, we don't really think that you save all those little booklets that are attached to new hockey equipment, and we couldn't find downloadable versions of them online. You may need to call or stop in at a local hockey store and take a look at cleaning guidelines.
Editor's Note: Thank you to Kelly Anton for this story.

SYCODE - Points Export for IntelliCAD :
Points Export for IntelliCAD is a Point Text file export plug-in for IntelliCAD®. This plug-in gives IntelliCAD powered applications and the ability to export point data to text files.
Points Export for IntelliCAD reads point objects in an IntelliCAD drawing and writes it out to a text file in the XYZ to YXZ format. The point coordiantes can be delimited by standard delimiters such as comma, space, tab, semicolon or a custom delimiter. Points Export for IntelliCAD can also extract points from other objects such as end points of curves, centers of circles/arcs/ellipses, vertices of polylines, meshes, etc. Apart from writing out a text file containing the point coordinates, Points Export for IntelliCAD can even create point objects corresponding to the coordinates in the current drawing.
Points Export for IntelliCAD is very easy to use. Once installed, it must be loaded into the IntelliCAD environment. Follow the simple instructions in the Getting Started document which can be found in the installation folder. Once loaded it adds new commands to IntelliCAD's existing commands and a new submenu called "PointsExport" to the IntelliCAD menu containing these newly added commands.

The Points File Format
A Point file format is basically a text file containing the x, y and z coordinates of a point on each line. Usually the coordinates are stored in the XYZ. However, points are sometimes stored in the YXZ order. This is common in survey data where the YXZ order is referred to Northing, Easting and Elevation. Here is an example of a point file with points stored in the XYZ order.
5.678232,3.282384,6.1128377.802343,6.792039,2.4895612.454512,7.453219,3.454865... and so on.
Sycode Software Licensing TermsOur licenses are single computer licenses and are locked to each computer they are installed on. Basically, the license key is specific to the computer's Host ID (the MAC address of the computer), and will not work on another computer. The installer picks up the physical MAC address of the network card connected to the computer which is basically Ethernet adapter Network Connect Adapter. So unless you change your network card, the key will always work even if you reinstall your operating system. If your internal network is periodically assigning a different Host ID to your computer, then please find a solution for this with your IT department.

This is a compendium of reports on psychiatric theories and practices in the USSR, East Germany, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Bulgaria, Rumania, and China, each written by an authority resident in the respective communist country.
Ari Kiev's introduction, although occasionally overlaid with statistics, discerningly reviews the political, economic, and doctrinaire evolution of Soviet psychiatry, its rejection of strictly individualistic motivations, (Freud, consequently, is anathema) and its derivative emphasis on the sociocultural determinants of human behavior. Paradoxically, however, psychiatric disorders—which are rising as rapidly in the communist world as elsewhere—are not placed in this context, but are classified as separate no sologic entities somewhat obscurely explicable on Pavlovian principles. Therapy is generally eclectic: there is considerable reliance on ECT, insulin, ataractics and prolonged sleep, but with special emphasis on a warm, personalized, supportive doctor-patient relationship directed toward an early

ONE OR TWO RUNGS UP THE EVOLUtionary ladder, and 8-year-old Binti-Jua would have a guest spot on Letterman by now. Instead, the 160-pound western lowland gorilla spent last week hanging out in her favorite tree, grooming her 17-month-old daughter Koola and playing with her five hairy roommates in the primate pavilion at Brookfield Zoo, in Brookfield, Ill. Life as normal," says the zoo's primate manager Jay Peterson. For Binti, perhaps. But not for her keepers, who have had calls about her from as far away as Ireland and Argentina. Worldwide, Binti is a bona fide hero.
Her moment of celebrity began on Aug. 16 at the zoo's Tropic World exhibit when a frantic cry sent a chill through the crowd: "The gorilla's got my baby!" Somehow a 3-year-old boy had gotten over a 3-foot stone-and-bamboo barrier and fallen 24 feet onto the cement floor of the gorilla enclosure. As Bill Lambert, 31, one of four paramedics visiting Tropic World with their families, recorded the drama on videotape, Binti picked up the boy and cradled his limp body in her arms. "I feared the worst," says another paramedic, Jeff Bruno, who ran with two of his colleagues to the entrance of the primate exhibit. "I didn't know if she was going to treat him like a doll or a toy."
Amazingly, Binti protected the toddler as if he were her own. Keeping other gorillas at bay, she carried him across the compound and, rocking him softly, laid him before the entrance, where the paramedics and zoo staff were waiting. "I could not believe how gentle she was," says Celeste Lombardi, living collection director at Ohio's Columbus Zoo, who raised Binti for the first month of her life and saw the rescue video on TV. "I just had chills. I was very proud."
By the following Tuesday, the child—whose parents have requested anonymity—was home from the hospital, and doctors expected him to recover fully from the broken hand, abrasions and minor bruising to the brain that he had sustained. Meanwhile, animal lovers pondered why Binti would rescue a human. Surmises Jack Hanna, director emeritus of Columbus Zoo: "She saw this thing lying there, and she knew from humans taking care of her that they could take care of this problem."
Born at Columbus Zoo in March 1988, Binti-Jua (Swahili for "daughter of sunshine") was taken from her mother, Lulu, at 2 months because Lulu did not have enough milk. For 24 hours a day, keepers—first at Columbus, then later at San Francisco Zoo—worked in three shifts to hand-raise Binti, constantly holding her in their arms. "We raise them as if we're their gorilla mothers," explains Lombardi.
When she was 6, Binti became pregnant at Brookfield. Concerned that she had no strong maternal role model, trainers gave her mothering lessons, using a woolly stuffed doll to teach her to nurse and carry her baby constantly, as gorillas do in the wild. Koola was born in February 1995—and Binti proved a natural. "She was better than we expected," says her keeper Craig Demitros. "She's a great mom now."
Was it the lessons—or her familiarity with nurturing humans—that caused Binti to rescue the child? Demitros can't say. Whatever the case, thousands of her fans lined up outside Brookfield's gorilla exhibit last week, and Cathy Stein, a mother of three from Lincolnwood, Ill., sent 25 pounds of bananas. "I thought," says Stein, "that she deserved a reward."

A great sight this morning in the sunshine at The Lodge, 4 buzzards, a red kite and a sparrowhawk all soared together in the skies above the gatehouse shop.The sparrowhawk was first seen, bombing the red kite and generally giving it a hard time! Yesterday, 3 hobbies were seen in the air together,it will be interesting to see when they leave en -route back to Africa for the winter-probably any day now.Another late summer bird,a chiff chaff called at the back of the car park, near Sandy Ridge at lunch-time.
The volunteers had a busy day yesterday, taking part in the face painting course in the morning and going straight to the thank you barbeque in the afternoon. Around 30 volunteers turned up to the marquee and bonfire, which we had set up on Sandy Ridge for a thank you get together. Apart from the food and good company, we saw 5 buzzards in the air together! The barbeque afternoon is one of the best ways we can thank our volunteers for giving us their time, enthusiasm and knowledge.
