How Old is Too Old for a Stroller?Danielle
I have been battling with the appropriate age range for a stroller lately. With my oldest forging out of toddlerhood this winter and becoming a full-blown kid, and my little toddler following in his footsteps I can't stop wondering.
I mean, haven't we all had those moments when we are out in public someplace like the mall, or in the store and you see that one kid that looks far too big for the stroller they are in? Feet dragging on the floor and all.
I can't help but wonder if my kids are becoming that kid, and I am becoming that mom.
My oldest isn't really interested in the stroller at all anymore, so I am not really worried about him. Once he busted out of the stroller this spring when Addison was born he really had never looked back. Although there are some days I am tempted to put him on a leash because he is that kid that would walk away with any random stranger.
My middle son who turned 2 in May is hanging on to the stroller with all he has. Rightfully so though, because if he gets out to walk with everyone he can't help but straggle behind. Not only that but he is the one who is distracted by anything. Ever see the movie Up? You know the dog in Up? Yeah, that is him!
I need some other parents of toddlers to weigh in… Because I am really having a hard time figuring this one out… How old is too old for a stroller?
Or is it the size of the child?

Does Post-Accident Drug Testing Reduce Injuries? Evidence from a Large Retail Chain

fall 2008
American Law and Economics Review, Vol. 10, Issue 2, pp. 246-302, 2008
This study examines the effects on occupational injury claims of a recently implemented post-accident drug testing (PADT) program in a large retail chain. We find that claims have fallen significantly in affected districts, suggesting that PADT programs can reduce injury claims, even in workplaces that already utilize other forms of drug testing. Our results also suggest that some types of employees-such as full-time workers, male workers, and higher-tenure workers-are particularly responsive. Finally, we find some "circumstantial evidence" that a portion of the observed decline could be caused by employees' reduced willingness to report workplace accidents.

Dramatically simplify life in your lab with an automated workflow that brings you the best in productivity and precision.
Take a few seconds to set it up and Fragment Analyzer will automate capillary electrophoresis—giving you the power to optimize runs for speed or resolution.
Innovative design features ensure you get gold-standard data, while the one-step setup reduces the risk of handling errors creeping into your results, as it can with manual agarose and lab-on-a-chip methodologies. Capillaries are auto-flushed between runs to eliminate cross contamination and further underline data integrity.
When it comes time to view results, our software processes the data and visualizes it in your preferred format. All you need to do is choose the kit for your application, set the instrument and load your samples—from 12 to 288 at once.
- Run 12- or 96-capillary plates
- Resolves fragments from 10 bp to 40,000 bp
- Get resolution down to 2 bp for fragments
- Detection starts at 5 pg/μL
Fragment Analyzer is used and recommended by Illumina™ as an automated system for the quantification and qualification of NGS libraries, gDNA and RNA. Illumina elaborates on its website, mentioning Fragment Analyzer as one of the answers to "laborious and time-consuming" constraints in the lab, while making it "easier for our customers" to automate fragmentation and size selection.
Assessing RNA in FFPE Samples
By running the Illumina-developed DV200 metric on Fragment Analyzer, you can automate the assessment of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) RNA tissue before running in TruSeq. Learn more here.

Bushpig [Potamochoerus larvatus]
Bushpigs are nocturnal and can be very dangerous, as they use their sharp tusks when threatened. Their numbers have increased in areas where predators have been taken out and where hunting does not occur. They feed on a range of foods from roots and seeds to insects, eggs and carrion. Bushpigs are also renowned for their crop raiding abilities.
3 - 8 young are born from November - January after a gestation period of ± 4 months.
Hoofs are broader than those of the Warthog's, and the dew claws usually mark clearly in the spoor. Its broader hooves are better adapted to the type of terrain where it usually feeds. The animals make continued use of the same routes to feeding areas, thereby forming narrow, clearly marked paths.

A lot of people talk about the issue of homelessness but are enough people doing anything about it? Montreal nurse Heidi Yane did something and then some.
Yane came across a homeless man and his dog downtown yesterday. She drove home to the West Island to get him gloves and a hat and drove back downtown to find him, which she did and also bought him a blanket.
There's more. Yane now wants to get a shelter built for homeless people and their pets. Isn't that something else?

Using the Housing Credit for Supportive Housing: An Assessment of 2005 State Policies was developed as a basic resource for supportive housing developers, policymakers and advocates interested in advancing public policies that dedicate financial resources for the development of supportive housing. It offers a first-ever comprehensive look at the innovative policies states have adopted to foster and encourage supportive housing development within qualified allocation plans for the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit) program.
Supportive housing--permanent, affordable housing with support services--is a proven, cost-effective way to end homelessness for people who face the most complex challenges. Communities across the United States have identified expanding the supply of supportive housing as critical to their efforts to end homelessness. The Housing Credit program is a major source of financing for supportive housing development.
This report identifies a variety of innovative Housing Credit policy approaches to supportive housing, including examples in each of the following categories:
- Credit Set-asides: States pledge to allocate a certain portion of available Housing Credits during the year to supportive housing developments
- Scoring Incentives: States encourage supportive housing development through the award of points in the competitive scoring process
- Threshold Requirements: States pledge to support only developments that meet minimum requirements to be considered supportive housing projects

Fertility Booster No. 4: Acupuncture
Studies linking acupuncture to conception have by and large been conducted on women undergoing fertility treatments. Still, many experts are quick to point out that this ancient Chinese medical art may also work to help encourage fertility overall -- even for those couples trying to conceive naturally.
"I sometimes recommend acupuncture, in conjunction with stress reduction activities such as yoga, to help encourage pregnancy," Pollack says.
"I wouldn't advise a couple to rely only on acupuncture, or to try it without first getting a fertility workup, but if everything checks out OK, acupuncture can be helpful," she says.
Fertility Booster No. 5: Ovulation
While being intimate during the "right time of the month" won't do anything to increase your fertility, it can increase your chances of getting pregnant -- simply by ensuring you and your partner connect during the time conception is possible.
Timing is crucial, says Pollack, because "an egg only lives for 24 to 36 hours." But sperm can live in the lower portion of a woman's reproductive tract a lot longer -- often up to five days. So to increase your chances of conceiving you should be intimate with your partner beginning three to four days prior to ovulation, and continuing up to 24 hours after ovulation.
But how do you know when you're about to ovulate? Experts say there are several methods you can use to approximate.
- Chart your basal body temperature (BBT): Your BBT, which is the lowest temperature your body reaches during the day, is affected by the hormones that influence ovulation. Just prior to egg release, your BBT drops about a half degree and then rises again after you ovulate. So by carefully monitoring and keeping track of your daily temperature for one or two months, Pollack says you will notice a pattern take shape. If you have intercourse during the days when your temperature drops, then there is a good chance you will be within your fertility window.
- Chart your cervical mucus: Corresponding to changes in body temperature are changes in cervical mucus. Just prior to ovulation, the mucus will seem more copious, thinner, and clearer than on other days. You might even be able to pull it apart so that it looks somewhat like rubber cement -- a phenomenon known as "spinbarket." By checking your cervical mucus daily and coordinating its consistency with your BBT, you can further nail down your most fertile time.
- Use an ovulation predictor kit (OPK): These over-the-counter kits, costing from $20 to $75 a month, check for the hormonal changes found in urine prior to ovulation. Some use a color-sensitive dipstick while newer OPKs have digital readouts that may be easier to interpret. OPKs can alert you to ovulation up to two days in advance. Once the OPK is positive, Pollack says, you would "have intercourse that day and every day for three days to help increase your chances of conception." Another device that may predict fertility is the "ferning" microscope, which can be used to detect changes in saliva that precede ovulation. However, experts say this approach may not be as reliable as an OPK.
- Buy a fertility monitor: At $200 to $400, they are not cheap. But a fertility monitor can indicate as many as six or seven fertile days each cycle. That can give you a clearer sense of your fertility window and potentially increase your odds of conceiving. Try a wristwatch fertility predictor, which detects chemical changes on the skin that indicate ovulation. These fertility watches help women identify the four days prior to ovulation.

NORTH OLMSTED -- With warmer temperatures on the way, pothole season is in full swing, and crews are already working feverishly to fill in all the tire-chewing road goblins throughout the city.
Safety-Service Director Scott Thomas said road crews have been handling calls regarding potholes as they come in to the department using cold patch.
"It's a temporary fix until we can put more time into it," Thomas said. "But with this cold weather and the moisture, if it pulls them apart, we'll keep filling them as long as they keep happening."
Thomas said crews are focusing on Butternut Road, which has garnered a number of phone calls from drivers who are wary of numerous holes and ruts there.
"That road is an area we're going to be addressing this year anyway as far as mill and fill," Thomas said. "Hopefully, since it's taking up so much of our time, giving it a new cover for at least the short term will get rid of those potholes."
A crew of seven service workers is dedicated to fixing the city's potholes. Thomas said as drivers see something develop or see patches come loose, they should report them so workers can get back out there and re-tap the material.
Next month, when hot patch materials become available for purchase, the city will address those holes that are still a problem, Thomas said.
"Then we crack-seal it to make sure they don't come out," he said.
To report a pothole in North Olmsted, contact the Safety-Service Department at 440-716-4136 or 440-716-4155 or email Thomas at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A sellout crowd of about 600 filled The Gerding Theater at the Armory on Monday night for "Outside the Frame," a premiere of six films written by, directed by and starring Portland homeless and formerly homeless youth from Outside In's Guerilla Theatre.
If you missed Monday's premiere but want to take a look at the films, they're available on the CHATpdx YouTube channel. You can also check them out by clicking play on the videos below.
The filmmakers spent three weeks creating the films from scratch through an internship program at Outside In, a local organization whose mission is serving homeless young people.
The result, as audiences saw Monday evening, was six unique works full of inspiration and honesty. With the young filmmakers in the audience, famed director Todd Haynes (creator of "I'm Not There") introduced the projects to an enthusiastic crowd.
The diversity of subject matter was impressive, ranging from a mini documentary on domestic violence, to a glimpse into a homeless young person's daily life, to a poem about mental illness, to a rap music video addressing three young people's downfall and redemption.
This month, Guerilla Theatre will collaborate with KBOO Community Radio to host an internship where youth will produce radio shows about important topics to educate their peers.

An Independent Spirit
In her novels and short stories—and in her life as well—Muriel Spark's ferocity was as evident as her originality
Muriel spark occupies a puzzling space in the pantheon of 20th-century writers. Undoubtedly great, she resists classification. Even a question as reductive as "Is she a major or a minor novelist?" dissolves into clouds of qualification. Some might argue that she is "major" in her intellectual reach or the power of her prose but "minor" in the heft of her novels—most of them are fewer than 200 pages long. But is Alberto Giacometti a minor artist because his sculptures are so thin?
"The Mandelbaum Gate" (1965), Spark's most ambitious novel, is generally regarded as her least successful. Its central character, like the author herself, is a woman of mixed Christian and Jewish heritage, a spiritual searcher whose visit to Jerusalem coincides with the trial of Adolf Eichmann. One reviewer found the novel "lifeless, cold"; another said that it lacked "the inhuman touch" that had so invigorated her previous work. Her most enduringly Sparkian novel is "Memento Mori" (1959), whose elderly characters receive anonymous telephone calls saying "Remember you must die." The result is dark comedy, as each ancient person reacts to this mordant injunction. Evelyn Waugh, an early and faithful fan, found it a "brilliant and singularly gruesome achievement."
For American readers, Spark's celebrity largely stems from "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie," published whole in the New Yorker in 1961. This miracle of novelistic economy centers on Jean Brodie, an Edinburgh schoolmistress who is determined that her tutelage will transform her lumpish pupils into cultivated beings: the crème de la crème, she likes to tell them. Miss Brodie's medium is young lives; her artistic control has gravely unforeseen consequences for her pupils and for Miss Brodie herself. The lovable flamboyance of Maggie Smith in the screen version may have given an oversimplified impression of the novel, which is anything but cozy. Indeed, to readers who discovered Spark early and tracked her prolific career until her death in 2006 at the age of 88, her ferocity was as evident as her originality.
For all Spark's brilliant comic sense and her accuracy as a social observer, she was not a novelist of manners but a strictly disciplined writer who chose to explore moral and philosophical questions and who was especially interested in slipping between the natural and supernatural worlds. However various her works, readers tend to agree on the integrity of her voice: unsparingly clear, insidiously funny.
Spark, who had admired Martin Stannard's two-volume biography of Evelyn Waugh, invited him to write her life and gave him unrestricted access to her papers. In matters of the heart, she was not known for choosing the right man, but she was an astute manager of her career, and appointing Mr. Stannard was an excellent move. "Muriel Spark" is among the richest and most satisfying literary biographies of our time: not only a portrait of the artist herself but also a rendering of her literary and social context and a judicious examination of her works.
We think of Spark primarily as a novelist, but her oeuvre comprises poems, short stories, plays, and reams of literary biography, reviews and criticism. In 1951, at the age of 33, she won a story competition sponsored by a London newspaper. At the time she had never published a work of fiction, she was living from hand to mouth, and there were nearly 7,000 other entries. Winning the £250 prize was helpful but did not solve all her problems: In a subsequent period of hectic output, she depended on Dexedrine to keep going. The resulting amphetamine poisoning and hallucinations would provide substance for her first novel, "The Comforters" (1957).
Muriel Spark
By Martin Stannard (Norton, 627 pages, $35)
Then, as always, "her private life was the stimulus for her art," Mr. Stannard writes. "Her art was external to herself, a transfiguration of the personal. She wanted her past to remain a mystery until she chose imaginatively to re-enter it." One such point of re-entry is the May of Teck Club, the women's residence in "The Girls of Slender Means" (1963). Its original was the Helena Club, where Spark lived in wartime London, at the "borderland between the smart set and bohemia." As Mr. Stannard explains it, "The Girls of Slender Means" is neither a nostalgic period piece nor a memoir in disguise; it is the transformation of autobiographical elements into something metaphysical. It confronts the problem of evil, a natural subject for Spark, a Roman Catholic convert.
She described herself as a "Go-away Bird." This African creature, which provided the name of one of her short stories, is a fitting emblem of her habit of escape. She left the working-class Edinburgh of her childhood for marriage to Sydney Oswald Spark, who was about to begin a teaching job in Southern Rhodesia. There Muriel Spark discovered that he was not interestingly moody and odd but mentally unstable and inclined to violence. A mother at 20, she left Africa, her son and this impossible marriage for London, slowly establishing herself as a writer. New York and Rome accommodated the years of her celebrity.
She ended her days in a Tuscan village. Wherever her domicile might be, Spark needed a bolt-hole: In Rome, regardless of the actual state of her health, "she used her hospital, the Salvator Mundi, as a place in which to disappear." There she could work undisturbed and, as she explained, the nuns on its staff "preferred healthy patients because they were less trouble."
"Preternaturally alert to slovenliness" in the production of her books, Spark declined to be edited. Her life was "littered with disputes because she refused to concede to anyone the power to intimidate or correct her." She was a virtuoso of control, which she exercised in composing her public image. The role of grandee suited her. In her periods of prosperity—the spoils of canny management and the popularity of "Miss Jean Brodie"—she enjoyed acquiring not one but two racehorses.
"Temperamentally she was a bachelor, sceptical of romantic love," Mr. Stannard notes. Motherhood played only a minor role in her life. In Mr. Stannard's view, Muriel Spark was at all times and in all circumstances an unnervingly free and powerful woman. His magnanimity as biographer allows her all her apparent contradictions, while his critical attentions do just what a literary biography should: make the reader hungry to explore her works.

It's about Democratic Florida Congressman Mahoney who replaced Congressman Mark Foley.* Mahoney campaigned on a safer more 'moral' world for our children platform.
So what do I find weird beside the obvious?
"Tim Mahoney also has admitted to an affair with a Martin County
official, described only as a Palm City woman, he met on a trip to
Washington, D.C., when the county was seeing federal aid to cover
hurricane debris removal from within gated communities."

CH7 1,200MHz UP DOWN DOWN DOWN
All four channels give a clean image on the test bench. The Tx isn't interesting though if you have to stick to 1.280MHz (CH9). I guess the 1.3GHz version will have the 8,9,H,C channels.
Good point, what are "H" and "C" channels. I bought a 1000mw Vtx from Ready made and tested it on my Diawa swr meter into a nonreactive load and the output ranged from 350-625mw. I did sent it back and will order the 1000mw version as it seems to be reported better. I noticed the "Hand C" channels and was wondering what they were.
Tim Tim Timmm... your budget seems to always be half of what you should spend, sure money is hard to come by and all, but think of the result of a project that is lowball on all parts.... What sort of outcome would you expect.... don't rush this hobby, take your time and do the reading otherwise it'll bight back hard.
'readymaderc for $60' there and you got an answer....
"New" customizable Freq FPV mini 1.2/1.3 1W VTx & VRx from Correa Electronics
While doing some Googling on available 1258MHz VTx I ran into this interesting gear. What's intriguing is the "custom" frequencies as shown in the description : Working Frequency: 1080MHz, 1120MHz, 1160MHz, 1200MHz (Frequencies like: 1.3GHz, 900MHz, etc. can be customized)
Also, the "Channel changing by remote control(interface)" is interesting.
Has anyone had a chance to test these or any other reports about the functionality/ performance of this gear?
The VTx looks very familiar, almost identical to the 1258MHz offerings by vendors. . I emailed Correa Electronics and got a response. Pricing is very similar as well for the VTx, the combo VTx & VRx does seem to be nicely priced @ $89 + $25 shipping (see bottom for quote). I also asked about a couple of their mini CCD cameras. I've attached my questions and their response at the bottom of this post.
They also offer a 5.8GHz unit with same features. I posted that info on a new thread. If this gear can do what they claim and has good performance it would be a nice addition to what's available for FPV applications.
This is a 1.2 GHz mini wireless video transmitter and receiver kit which is specially designed for FPV flyers, 1W output power and very light weight.
4 channels 1.2G 1W wireless audio/video transmitter and receiver system
Output Voltage/Consumption Current: DC 12V / 300mA
Output Frequency/Channel Number: 1.2 GHz, 4CH
Working Frequency: 1080MHz, 1120MHz, 1160MHz, 1200MHz (Frequencies like: 1.3GHz, 900MHz, etc. can be customized)
Output Power: 1000 mW
Transmitter Weight: 26g
Dimension of TX: 8mm x 49mm x 25mm
Channel Display: LED digital read-out display with control button

1.2 SunSky improvement suggestions - needed
Maybe this is a better forum to post my question:
My 1.2 SunSky w/ stock antennas (plastic, articulated) on both vrx/tx, has worse penetration than my 5.8 FoxTech w/ Skew Planar (4 lobes) on vrx & stock (plastic, articulated) on vtx
Flying stock 2.4 9x radio ... 12V from a 3s Lipo FPV cam is a GoPro
What can I do to get the best out of the 1.2 SunSky vrx/tx !? Thanks
Maybe I should mention I fly a Witespy quad ...
Also, reception only works on channel combinations: 4-7, 7-9, & that's pretty much it. Nothing on 8-8 ?!

Doom 3 Gets a "Director's Cut" in its BFG Re-Release
Id Software brings its signature franchise back from the dead in our hands-on preview from QuakeCon 2012.
By Nick Todd Aug 03, 2012 11:01PM PSTTags: Xbox 360 Doom 3: BFG Edition (PC) Doom 3: BFG Edition (PS3) Doom 3: BFG Edition (XBOX 360)
For most people, Doom 3 is more of a memory at this point than a touchstone of what makes
the shooter genre great in today's world of gaming. With the likes of Activision's Call of
Duty ruling the FPS roost over the last few years, the relevance of any title that doesn't fall
behind Infinity Ward's FPS design mantra seems to quickly become lost to modern gamers.
Remembered for a its cheap "monster closet" scares and technical design decisions (the
flashlight, for one), it would seem odd that there's an interest in bringing back id's last entry of
the Doom franchise to consoles.
To my surprise, though, id's Doom 3: BFG edition was quite a thrill to play during my session
with the game at this year's QuakeCon. The first thing to know about this edition of Doom 3 is
that if you've played the original shooter anytime recently, then you know what you're getting
into with this latest re-release. Composed of Doom 3, its expansion "Resurrection of Evil,"
and the game's competitive multiplayer suite, (the Xbox version's co-op sadly did not make
the transition) The BFG edition is basically the PC version of Doom 3, now with a few changes.
With my hands-on of the new "Lost Missions" (which weren't cut from the original game, but
created by four designers at id for this particular release), the focus of my session was to shoot
anything that moved while taking the scenic route through hell to get to the level's final boss.
It's classic shooter design with the player traveling from area to area, clearing out zones and
moving on. As one of the developers pointed out during my play session, mostly everything has
been touched up in some capacity in id's remake of their 2003 title. From the rebuilt rendering
pipeline made specifically for consoles (which PC gamers are benefiting from as well) to the
inclusion of the infamous flashlight and more abundant ammo drops, the focus of the BFG
Edition is to shoot first and watch out for "monsters-in-closets" later.
The idea of making it more of an action game as opposed to its original horror-like vibe expands
to the player's run speed as well, which has also been increased to make the game a faster
experience. Enemies have been slightly altered in various capacities, too, and the game is
a little brighter thanks to touched up lighting throughout. Speaking of lighting, the game's
dynamic lighting engine still holds up today regardless of being nearly a decade old, and now
has the benefit of running at a silky smooth framerate on today's hardware. The creature
design in the world is still iconic and instantly recognizable as nothing but "Doom." The game
has great art direction, which you can actually see it in this version thanks to your flashlight and
improved lighting.
The only slight I took away from my experience with the game was its implementation of
3D. As 3D makes for a very analog experience depending on the user, I found it to be more
distracting to my experience than an advantage. Part of me actually wanted to turn it off,
but I kept the feature on, hoping for an improvement at some point during my demo of the
game. That said, 3D is really a subjective experience depending on the user, but I didn't see the
benefits of the feature for this release of Doom 3. If it works for you, great, but if not, I don't
think you'll miss much without it. There was also the lack of an auto-save feature, a modern
day staple of game design that wasn't quite the standard back in Doom 3's day. For the title
to still not have a feature like this, especially when so many other design follies have been
addressed with this release, does seem like a potential misstep. Id still has a little bit of time
before the game's release this fall, so it would seem logical that an auto-save feature could be
implemented before the game is shipped out the door.
Overall, Doom 3: BFG Edition is a "Director's Cut" of sorts, addressing a lot of the criticisms the
original title received upon its release. Where ammo used to be a problem to come by, the
developers have scatter more across levels. Where it used to be a pain to switch between your
gun and flashlight, you now have the ability to turn on a gun mounted light with the click of a
button. If it's been a while since you've played id's last entry into the Doom series, then that's
exactly what the developer is hoping for. With the revisions made, Doom 3: BFG Edition may
be the best version of the title to sink your teeth into come this October.

2003?Posted: Aug 04, 2012 12:00AM PST by XaintMP
When I read that, I thought, "WOAH, there's no way it's almost been 10 years since I played this!" But, according to the ever-reliable wikipedia, the pc version was released in late 2004, console version later in 2005. That seems about right

That's really disappointing to hear about Doom 3. Now I'm curious if Doom I and II will retain theirs.
oh doom 3Posted: Aug 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by halo2master
this game was the singular reason i did not walk into dark places for about four months, teacher asked me to get something out of the theatre at the school walked in and the lights were off, had no idea how to turn them on so i walked back and said i couldn't find it... yep... on a side note watching the trailer, some of the textures haven't aged that well, might make this a post christmas purchase for nostalgia sake.

CCUR is a coiled up spring getting ready to explode to the upside! After having major resistance at $8 from February through July, CCUR has finished 12 of the last 13 trading days at $8 per share or higher! CCUR will likely explode to new 52-week highs in the double digits any day now!
CCUR was the 1st company to commercially launch video on demand (VOD) with their deployment for Time Warner Cable (TWC) 13 years ago, which briefly made CCUR a billion dollar market cap company. CCUR now holds the #1 VOD market share with a reach of 50mm households! CCUR's business is booming big time as its cable TV operator clients like TWC launch CCUR's MediaHawk multi-screen CDN video delivery technology, which allows operators to deliver on demand video services to tablets, smartphones, Smart TVs, and other IP-connected devices! TWC just launched their Samsung Smart TV app, using CCUR's technology, which delivers 5,000 on demand TV shows and movies without a separate set-top box!
CCUR at $8.02 has an enterprise value of $47.84mm or 0.76X revenues and 8.54X free cash flow. After reporting 175% EPS growth last quarter, CCUR on Aug 27th is estimated to report fiscal 4Q EPS growth of 350%! CCUR had $22.37mm in cash at the end of their fiscal 3Q and will likely report end of 4Q cash on Aug 27th of between $28mm and $30mm.
CCUR pays a HUGE cash dividend yield of 6% with their next payment coming early next month! CCUR's top rivals SEAC and HLIT don't pay dividends and have lower gross/operating profit margins, yet they currently have an average enterprise value/revenue ratio of 1.50 and an average enterprise value/free cash flow ratio of 16.45, which would value CCUR between $13.08 and $13.39! CCUR's current trailing free cash flow of $5.6mm will likely rise to at least $7mm on Aug 27th, and an enterprise value/free cash flow ratio of 16.45 would then value CCUR at $16.44 per share!

Incredibly Sweet: British Paddle Boarder Rescues Shih Tzu Stuck At Sea Minutes Before Tide Hits (Video)Danielle Sullivan
Some stories just reaffirm your belief in mankind and the goodness of people… this is surely one of them.
Paddle boarder Charlie Head noticed that something small was moving along the rocks in England's North Sea. As he got closer, he realized it was a dog and knew there was limited time to rescue the cold, wet pup before the tide came in.
Head took a diversion on his trip from Cornwall to London, in preparation of a 3,000-mile cross Atlantic journey, and paddled as fast as he could to get to the frightened dog, later named Bam Bam.
When Head got close to Bam Bam, the dog became nervous and tried to jump away but Head secured the dog and he paddled back to shore.
Head narrated the video while trying to calm down Bam Bam:
He just sat there like a little dude, wondering what the hell to do. He definitely needs a rescue. It's alright dude…it's OK, it's OK."
Once on land, Head took the dog to an animal warden where they are now trying to find his owner.
Apparently the tide was just minutes away at which point the rocks where Bam Bam was stranded on would have been immersed in water.
Hats off to Charlie Head!

China Volunteer Report 2011
14 December 2011
The China Volunteer Report 2011, launched during the recent celebration of the 30th anniversary of UNV in China, is now available for download in English and Chinese here and at the UNDP China website.
The report aims to review and analyze three aspects: the different forms of volunteerism that have developed in China, the mechanisms of civic engagement at all levels, and the role of the government in maximizing and supporting these efforts to achieve development goals.
The report concludes that while there have been major advances over the last decade in volunteering in China, there remain many challenges to its further development, and in particular to linking it to the development goals of the Chinese government. For example, volunteer groups still lack a proper identity. Also, the administrative and institutional framework to assist and help their development is still being put in place.
There is a lack of legislation to protect volunteers while participating in volunteering services. Fundraising remains a challenge and while international cooperation has been strong, it could be enhanced.
UNV hopes this report will encourage similar research work in the future where volunteer-related organizations get to work together, exchange views and stimulate the debate on how to further enable the growth of sustainable volunteer action for development in China. UNV recommends this report as a valuable reference tool for policy makers, academia, organizations and individual volunteers.

We thank Krige and Beningfield for their comment. Our results are based on the data of a selected group of patients.1 We believe that by extending the indication of liver resection to more complicated diseases, we can improve the outcome. The use of a hepaticojejunal loop either as a stoma2,3 or as a subparietal loop4 provides good access for future use. It may be a valuable procedure in combination with liver resection; however, there are limitations. There may be an increased incidence of cholangitis owing to bile stasis and bacterial overgrowth in the afferent jejunal limb. The procedure may pose additional risks such as the development of fistula, parajejunostomy hernia, or bowel kinking. In 1 series, 12 of 41 patients required opening of the jejunal loop for stone removal at a median of 27 months. It was difficult to reopen the stoma in 2 patients. Subsequently, symptoms recurred in 3 of these 12 patients but only 1 benefited by reopening of the stoma and stone removal.3

Millions of middle aged women could face lingering health risks years after taking hormone replacement therapy, according to a new health study.
Many women who took hormones after menopause stopped taking them after research linked the drugs to heart disease, stroke and cancer.
But new research shows that even though the risk goes down within weeks for heart disease and stroke, the risk of breast cancer is still there more than three years later.
"When women hear there's still a slight increased risk of breast cancer even though they are off hormones, that's concerning," Dr. Joanne Pinkerton of the University of Virginia said. "It's concerning to everyone."
Experts recommend annual mammograms for anyone at risk.

Tuesday's primary featured two close races involving Randolph County candidates, with Margaret Kerr Beckwith edging out Paul "P.J." Louk for the Democratic nomination for the 11th Senatorial District, and incumbents Denise Campbell and Bill Hartman holding off challenger Phil Isner for the Democratic nominations for the two 43rd Delegate District seats.
Campbell, of Elkins, received the most votes among Democrats in the 43rd District race, garnering 3,154 votes in Randolph County and 1,093 in Pocahontas, for a total of 4,247.
Isner, of Elkins, edged out Hartman, also of Elkins, in Randolph County, with Isner receiving 2,358 votes to Hartman's 2,252.

In Pocahontas County, however, Hartman received 981 votes to Isner's 387, giving Hartman a total of 3,233 votes to Isner's 2,745.
After the results were announced Tuesday at the Randolph County Courthouse, Campbell said, "I want to say a big thank-you to all my family that have supported me, and all my friends and all the citizens of Randolph County. The support is just overwhelming and I appreciate the confidence that they have in me. I promise to continue to work hard and only represent the interests of the citizens of Randolph and Pocahontas counties."
Hartman told The Inter-Mountain, "I just want to thank everybody. I don't tell everybody what they want to hear all the time and that makes some people unhappy, but I think we need somebody that worries about the common good instead of satisfying all the special interests."

Featured attraction
Robin Williams is to photo development clerks what Psycho's Anthony Perkins was to hotel deskmen. In this intensely creepy though superficial drama, a restrained Williams is eerily effective as Sy Parrish, a seemingly innocuous, middle-aged single guy who makes a meager living working at the photo drop-off counter at a SavMart. All day long Parrish gazes at strips of snapshots of other people smiling and having fun. As he wistfully observes, "Photos say I was young once, I was happy, and someone cared enough about me to take my picture."
In One Hour Photo Parrish is obsessed with the Yorkins, an attractive young family (Nielsen is the mom, Vartan the dad and Smith their 9-year-old son Jake) who regularly drop off rolls of film documenting their picnics, getaways and birthday parties. Parrish makes extra copies of their pictures to tack onto the walls of his lonely apartment. But what at first seems merely sad and pathetic soon turns scary and delusional as he begins inserting himself into the Yorkins' lives, showing up at Jake's soccer games and casing the family's house.
While Williams will give audiences goose bumps and Nielsen (Gladiator) and Vartan (TV's Alias) are fine in supporting roles, Photo in the end proves no more than a snapshot. Its characters lack depth, perspective and, dare one say, development, and the plot eventually curdles more than it thickens. But with his carefully composed shots adroitly serving as a frame for Parrish's increasingly disordered mind, there is no faulting the visual flair that writer-director Mark Romanek (whose résumé includes a 1985 film, Static, and music videos by R.E.M. and Madonna) brings to the movie. Minor quibble: One Hour Photo's final scene, which provides an explanation for Parrish's behavior, is hammer-to-the-forehead obvious and totally unnecessary. (R)
Bottom Line: An imperfect picture, but worth seeing

This resource is about the urban heat island effect. Students access student-collected surface temperature data provided through the GLOBE program and analyze the data with My World GIS.
Developed for Alaska Native students, this activity can be customized for other regions. Students interview elders or other long-term residents of the community to document their knowledge of local changes to the landscape and climate. Based on the information and photos they acquired from the interview, students return to photo locations to observe and record changes. Finally, they develop ideas about potential impacts of a warming climate to the ecosystem that surrounds them.
This NASA animation on land cover change zooms into Rondonia, Brazil. It starts with a Landsat satellite image taken in 1975 and dissolves into a second image of the same region taken in 2009 indicating that there has been a significant amount of land use change.
This short video, is the fifth in the National Academies Climate Change, Lines of Evidence series. It focuses on greenhouse gases, climate forcing (natural and human-caused), and global energy balance.
This simulation allows the user to project CO2 sources and sinks by adjusting the points on a graph and then running the simulation to see projections for the impact on atmospheric CO2 and global temperatures.
This video highlights the work of climate scientists in the Amazon who research the relationship between deforestation, construction of new dams, and increased amounts of greenhouse gases being exchanged between the biosphere and the atmosphere.
This visualization is a website with an interactive calculator that allows for estimation of greenhouse gas production from croplands in the United States.
This is a series of NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite images taken over a 10 year period, 2000-2010, showing the extent of deforestation in the State of Rondonia in western Brazil over that period of time.
In this activity, students learn about the urban heat island effect by investigating which areas of their schoolyard have higher temperatures - trees, grass, asphalt, and other materials. Based on their results, they hypothesize how concentrations of surfaces that absorb heat might affect the temperature in cities - the urban heat island effect. Then they analyze data about the history of Los Angeles heat waves and look for patterns in the Los Angeles climate data and explore patterns.
This activity describes the flow of carbon in the environment and focuses on how much carbon is stored in trees. It goes on to have students analyze data and make calculations about the amount of carbon stored in a set of trees at three sites in a wooded area that were to be cut down to build a college dormitory.

MyHeritage Genealogy Blog: The final post!
Dear readers,
You may have noticed that postings have not recently been made to the MyHeritage Genealogy Blog.
This is the last post we will publish on this blog, but the good news is that we are folding this blog into the MyHeritage Blog as we go forward.
This move will consolidate all English language posts in one blog, on one Facebook page and on one Twitter feed.
Chief genealogist Daniel Horowitz and I will continue writing for the MyHeritage Blog on various topics. We hope you will join us there, continue to offer your comments, and follow along on Facebook and Twitter.
Existing posts on the MyHeritage Genealogy Blog will be available via the MyHeritage Blog.
We look forward to greeting you online.
with best wishes
Schelly and Daniel
Memories: Start recording them!
Do you want to begin recording your family history, but just don't know where or how to start?
Or, have you been researching your family for a long time and are now experiencing writer's block?
This post may help everyone interested in recording family history.
Many researchers want to do more than just record names and dates. What we'd like to do is "add meat to the bones," or flesh out our ancestors as we learn about them as individuals.
Amy Coffin of the WeTree genealogy blog has organized 52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy & History, which offers a weekly prompt on a different topic. Readers can also access this list at Geneabloggers.com.
We think that this list is as valuable for recording your own life for your future descendants as it is for those considering interviewing older relatives.
It doesn't matter if you start in the middle of this list, at the end or at the beginning. The essential thing is just to start.
How you record your answers doesn't matter: Use "notes" on an iPad, a document on your computer, write your ideas longhand in a leather-covered journal, an ordinary school notebook, or on plain white paper. Just begin. However, recording them in a nice journal that can be passed down through the generations seems a good idea to us.
As you start recording this information for yourself - and that notebook may become a prized possession for a great-grandchild in the future - you will find more information useful when you interview senior family members.
It is also a great suggestion for your family members at your site at MyHeritage.com. Ask your relatives to contribute their own memories of a topic each week.
I've included a bit about my favorite stuffed animal - in the toy category - but you'll need to read on to learn about Wolfie!

Back to the US
I'm heading back to the US for the largest West Coast genealogy conference - and the largest number ever of participating genealogy bloggers (70) – at the Southern California Genealogical Society Jamboree 2011.
I just finished a short visit home after a long trip covering the East Coast. Here are some highlights of that trip.
At the end of March, I ran the MyHeritage.com booth at the Ohio Genealogical Society regional conference in Columbus. I reunited with old friends and colleagues, met new friends and also gave some lectures for local genealogy groups in Dayton and Cleveland.
The New England Regional Conference - in Springfield, Massachusetts – was next. I tried to find the Simpson family, but it seems it was the wrong Springfield. There were some very interesting lectures and the opportunity to work on my personal research with a lecture about genealogy repositories in Romania and Ukraine. A later conversation with the speakers discovered some previously unknown resources.

Family: Voices from the past
Voices from the past are an integral part of family history. These voices may come through in diaries or letters written by ancestors.
Today, however, there's another way.
To put it another way, every story matters.
Individuals can record interviews with relatives, friends or community members via the non-profit StoryCorps, which has scheduled its third annual National Day of Listening on Friday, November 26, the day after Thanksgiving.
The Day encourages Americans to follow a new holiday tradition which promotes listening and understanding to share their stories on the day following Thanksgiving, which itself is an essentially family-oriented holiday.
Participants use equipment found in many homes, such as a computer, mobile phone, tape recorder or even pen and paper.
To learn more click nationaldayoflistening.org for a free instruction guide with equipment recommendations, suggested questions and ideas for preserving and sharing interviews.
Of course, another great way to preserve your family interviews is on your own MyHeritage.com family site, so all your relatives can them.
Imagine preserving an interview with your grandmother that would be available for future generations to hear.
"In an era of fierce political and cultural divides, we hope that the idea of listening to one another during the holiday season resonates with many Americans," says StoryCorps Founder and MacArthur "Genius" Dave Isay. "Through our National Day of Listening, StoryCorps hopes to remind Americans of all stripes how much more unites us than divides us."
Although a US-based day, the idea is certainy appropriate for people in all countries around the world and - as an additional benefit - encourages talking about family history and connecting families, which is exactly what MyHeritage.com is all about.
Although the Day of Listening is celebrated on the day after Thanksgiving, you can record family members, friends or community members on any day of year or in connection with any holiday.
Since 2003, StoryCorps has collected and archived more than 30,000 interviews from more than 60,000 participants. Each is recorded on a free CD to share, and is also preserved at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress (Washington, DC).
The project is one of the largest oral history projects of its kind.For more information, or to listen to stories online, visit storycorps.org.
Have you recorded interviews with any of your relatives?
If you have a senior relative, remember to record them as soon as possible so that interview will be preserved. This is truly voices from the past!
Who have you recorded? Where and how have you preserved that interview?
Let us know via comments to this blog.
Tracking the troops: GI Jane, GI Joe
Do you have ancestors or relatives who served in the military?
As we peer into our past, we often find family members who served on land or sea in many countries and in many capacities. Some were on-the-ground forces, while others filled support roles such as tailors, doctors, nurses, cooks or musicians.
London's Imperial War Museum has organized a Family History Day on Saturday, November 6, sponsored by MyHeritage.com. The event will assist participants - from beginners to experienced family historians - to learn how the Blitz affected families, the roles relatives played to help win the war, the aftermath of this history in today's families, and what records are accessible for more information.
The Imperial War Museum is the museum of everyone's story: the history of modern conflict told through the stories of those who were there. It is an educational and historical institution responsible for archives, collections and sites of outstanding national importance. You can view the Museum's main website here.
Women as well as men have served in diverse capacities in all US military branches - Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and the Coast Guard. For information on women veterans from Colonial to contemporary times, view stories here (scroll down to see other relevant pages on that site), and a time line here. For a collection of photos and artifacts documenting women's service, click here.
One Civil War surgeon - Dr Mary Edwards Walker (photo left) - was the first woman to receive the Medal of Honor.
Accessible records include regiment lists, files for widows' pensions, death and burial records, medals, hospital lists for the wounded, transport lists and many other records, each supplying another piece of the family history puzzle.
Where can you find more information on those who served?

House History: Document yours!
Imagine going down to the cellar of your house and seeing "1423" carved in an original beam.
Our daughter once lived in Zurich, Switzerland. Her fascinating house on a historic street - Rennweg - in the center of town was on all the medieval maps at the city museum.
In the Middle Ages, it was the main street of the city's upper town and ran along the 12th century city wall from a fortified gate to the town hall. During street renovations, a Roman-era well was discovered.
Except for that carved date in an ancient wooden beam, a casual visitor would not have known the nearly 600-year-old building's history. Of course, other clues were the very steep steps, sloping floors and oddly-shaped rooms, but everything else was modern.
Wouldn't you love to know the history of your home? When it was built and by whom? Who lived in it through the years? How they were connected to the community in which they lived?
Unless preserved, this type of information is often lost.
In Ithaca, New York, a group of people have come up with a local project to preserve house history - one which could easily be replicated in places around the world.

MyHeritage: At a family festival
For two days, MyHeritage has been at a family festival with 50 computers and a team of 15 experts.
We are a major presence at this three-day event - the "One Family, Many Faces" family festival.
I spoke to quite a few families yesterday to learn why they visited to set up a family tree. The answers were interesting, as we all knew they would be.
This post originally appeared on the MyHeritage Blog (English), but here's some of it and a link to the complete
The team has been here for two days - a great experience - as MyHeritage is all about uniting families, whether it is discovering new relatives or building a family tree together.
Every computer and chair was filled about an hour after the festival opened (see photo above).
Crowds of people - families with many children - were learning how to start a family tree and how to begin researching their family history during 30-minute consultations.
This morning several families shared their stories:

Diaries: A family history source
Take it from a writer: The more you write, the easier it becomes. Why not keep a journal or diary?
Journals and diaries are excellent resources for family history research.
Don't you wish your ancestors had recorded their daily lives and thoughts in a format that has come down to you as a treasured keepsake through the centuries?
I know someone whose ancestor left a journal written several hundred years ago. The writer describes the family's everyday life in difficult new surroundings, how they celebrated holidays, the writer's wishes for her descendants far in the future and much more. It is as if the writer knew it would be treasured and passed down through the generations, as it has been. It is a priceless heirloom.
Put yourself in the shoes of a great-grandchild who finds your journal. What do you think will interest him or her? What is happening in your life now that you want future generations to know about? Do you want to include advice for future generations?

Besides, when I read :
- Code: Select all
I'm pretty sure cookies are being used used, but this is another matter.
I had the same discussion concerning the bots mod (here and here), as well able to output an optimized template for bots, and ended up thinking exactly the same.
I know some will claim nothing ever happened to them using the feature, but none of their website where massively visited. To me, blacklisting is mostly due to competitors reporting to SEs, and this is a lot more likely to occur on website having success, which is our goal isn't it ?
It's just the kind of risk I would not take, and I am pretty sure that the this is not the most important and efficient optimization one could do in the end, content, mod rewrite and sitemaps are far more important to build up good SERPs.
I do not tell you this without having deeply though about it, the only way to use a lo fi template without cloaking is to use it for all guests, which is more or less the same as running an optimized template, as you probably do not want real users to think the lo-fi template is how your website really looks like.
A nice way to deal with a lo-fi template could as well be JS, you could add all the styling using JS, so that at least most users would see how nice your layout is designed
And bots would not be cloaked

Department of Counseling
Applicants satisfying the credential screening process are notified by mail and invited to participate in an Admissions Workshop (Fall, Spring, or Summer) with other applicants who have applied for admission during the same semester.
The purpose of the workshop is threefold: (1) for faculty and students to get acquainted, (2) to inform students about the counseling programs, and (3) to determine student interpersonal and writing skills which are assessed through group activities and a writing sample.
Admissions recommendations are made by the counseling faculty after each workshop. These recommendations are then forwarded to the Graduate School which, in turn, contacts all applicants in writing, informing them of their status. Newly admitted students receive a "pre-candidacy" letter with the name of their advisor whom they should contact immediately to discuss program plans and course selection for the coming semester.

Selected Shorts: Holding Fast
Failing a moral test, and the cost of love and loss in stories by American and Irish contemporary writers.
Holding fast… This program features two powerful stories about moral tests and holding fast to beliefs no matter what the cost. First, John Biguenet's "I Am Not a Jew," in which a frightened tourist has a failure of nerve that resonates deeply. SHORTS literary commentator Hannah Tinti notes that "What makes "I Am Not a Jew" so disturbing is how it dissects the ways we collectively excuse ourselves from standing up for what's right." "I Am Not a Jew" was read by Denis O'Hare, who won a Tony Award for the play "Take Me Out," and stars on the television series "True Blood." The story was presented at the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut, and sponsored by JustTheRightBook.com.
Our second story is by the award-winning novelist Colum McCann, who hosted an evening of his story picks at Symphony Space. In "Everything in this Country Must,"
the rescue of an endangered horse is colored by the owner's tragic past and the Irish "troubles." Tinti comments, "This is a gut-wrenching story, beautifully told. It starts right in the middle of the action as the narrator and her father try to save a drowning horse. Each step of the drama takes the reader further and further into these characters' private world." The reader is Amy Ryan, who was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for her performance in "Gone Baby Gone." Her television work includes roles on "The Wire," "The Office," and "In Treatment."
The musical interludes are from "Music from the Reed Bed," by Bill Campbell, on "Contemporary Music from Ireland," vol. 5 and "I Could Have Done More," from the score for "Schindler's List," by John Williams.
The SELECTED SHORTS theme is Roger Kellaway's "Come to the Meadow."
"I Am Not a Jew," by John Biguenet, performed by Denis O'Hare
"Everything in this Country Must," by Colum McCann, performed by Amy Ryan

Anderson had to leave an 11-1 win over Pittsburgh last Sunday with tightness in his thigh. He missed the next three games.
The move was retroactive to April 20. Anderson was batting .200 without an RBI in 10 games.
The Braves called up outfielder Brandon Jones from Triple-A Gwinnett, where he was batting .308 in 14 games. He played in 41 games for the Braves last season, batting .267 with one home run and 17 RBI.

A former gym employee is charged with getting funds and services in excess of $200,000 for his personal benefit, according to police.
Thomas W. Kulp, 46, of New Mexico, was employed by Universal Athletic Club between 2006 and February 2012 when the thefts happened, Manheim Township police said.
Kulp manipulated payroll and used business accounts to carry out the scheme, police said.
He faces five counts of theft by deception and one count of theft of services, police said.
