Ask the Experts
By Dr. Stacie Bunning, clinical psychologist
My fifth-grader has a tendency to lie for no apparent reason. He seems to do it almost automatically. What can we do?
To some degree, lying is a developmental rite of passage for children. All children do it at some point. Very young children (ages 3-5) often tell tall tales because they enjoy having stories told to them as well as making up their own stories for fun. Also, preschoolers tend to blur the distinction between reality and fantasy.
Once a child is school age, he is well aware that lying is wrong and will lead to punishment. Despite this, lying in this age group is still rather common, and can occur for a variety of reasons:
Have a serious talk with your son about his lying. Give him specific examples of when you have caught him in a lie, and then discuss the importance of honesty, trust, and responsible behavior. Discuss consequences he can expect each time he lies, and then follow through. If the lying does not decrease, or if it becomes more serious and repetitive, then professional help should be considered. Evaluation by a child psychologist or psychiatrist would help both you and your son get to the bottom of his behavior.
Advice from our experts is not a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment from a health-care provider or learning expert familiar with your unique situation. We recommend consulting a qualified professional if you have concerns about your child's condition.

2005 Subaru Baja Crew Cab Sport AWD 4dr Crew Cab (2.5L 4cyl 5M)
It was initially love @ 1st site but bloom soon faded. 1st issue, dash panels around A/C controls started peeling upon touch, never replaced. Bad experiences w/dealership caused me to go to another Subaru dlr serv. dept when brake problems began & driver window wouldn't close tightly. Was asked if car had been in accident because bolts were missing on one side @ brake apparatus. While under warranty, brakes were worked on @ least 3 times. No permanent resolution on brakes or ANY other issues I ever presented. Extended wrnty doesn't cover brakes & I'm still having problems. Told my family to have car fully inspected if accident occurs due to brake issue - and sue the pants off of Subaru!
Still love the driving experience and the AWD has never left me stranded in any condition.
Treat customer better - fix problems permanently asap - don't leave customer holding the bag - this car was not cheap!
As a coastal geologist, I chose this vehicle to use in post-storm beach surveys. It has yet to be stuck in the sand...has hauled all the survey equipment I ever needed (plus 6 students in the bed and three more in the cab), gets great gas mileage, and has yet to have any major (or minor) maintenance issues. Did all the scheduled maintenance on time...had new brakes put on at 40K miles...still running on the original tires at 47K miles and have tread to spare. Recently used my beach buggy to haul 2 12' 2X4s, 8 sheets of 3/4" CDX plywood, 2 square of shingles, and a roll of 30# felt...all in one trip. I've pulled trailers and boats with no problems. Great car!
AWD and sunroof.
More electrical (12V) connections for computers and phones as standard equipment. Add options for XM and Sirius radios.
I live in rural NY and needed a reliable light vehicle to get me in and out of area. My Baja has performed without a hitch since my purchase and dealer support has been great. Only issue is that dealer does not provide Saturday service. I have requested such without success. It is a good thing my Baja runs and runs and runs otherwise it might be an issue. I get frequent compliments on the look of vehicle and am often asked as to my level of satisfaction. My Baja came with the Bed Extender package so the small bed has not been a problem.
- Great mileage (23-27) - Great looks - Reasonable acceleration with regular fuel (5-speed trans) - Decent ride.
- Electronic Trans like Outback - Heated seats like Outback - Would like bed cover and mudguards as standard.
Let's see...the transmission went out at 3,000 miles. The carpet had to be replaced because of a poorly designed mat-holder. The trim is crooked, the mileage stinks, the warranty offered by the company is not comparable with other manufacturers. Should I keep going? Oh I suggested a friend buy a Subaru as well and her review would be similar to mine...NOT TOO HOT! Together, our invoice paperwork for all the trips we've made to have items examined/repaired could reforest a small country.
It LOOKS good...but looks really aren't everything.
Redesign the floor-mat holder, drivers side. Make sure the transmission is a better-designed transmission. Include a more extensive warranty with purchase, rather than charge an arm and a leg for extended warranty. Retrain the dealership in Dallas...that's a good thought.
Bought this crossover because I was tired of high gas prices and low mileage on my Toyota 4x4 Tacoma Crew Cab, and also the family SUV. However I was really addicted to the AWD on the Hyundai Santa Fe...which was also a wonderful car, but costly in gas and low mpg. Both truck and suv were new. So sold them both and got my first Subaru...a Baja. Definitely best choice, took it off road; no problems handled like a trooper, never got stuck. Took it on a cross country trip, perfect the whole distance, not a problem, and decent to good on the gas for a full time AWD vehicle. Definitely will consider another one, too bad Subaru will not be making them, maybe another manufacturer will start to make them.
Sporty, all wheel drive, the pass through, sun roof and roll bars...it's all good!
Brakes rotors seem to warp easily; must have an overheat or cooling issue.

An abnormally wet and snowy month likely contributed to flooding at Hull's Sewer Plant this morning.
According to the Town of Hull a mechanical failure occurred at the Sewer Plant early Thursday morning. The failure followed a 10 ft. surge of sewage water into the plant, likely the result of recent heavy rain and snow melt. While still assessing the situation, officials believe the flooding likely damaged some of the plant's electronic systems. Until the plant is back online it is being bypassed altogether. That means the 1.7 million gallons of sewage that typically passes through the Hull plant each day is being released into the ocean untreated.
Town officials insist that water is safe to drink in town, but they also ask residents to limit water usage until the problem is resolved. Hull Public Schools were closed Thursday as a result.
The flooding makes sense given the wet pattern lately. In fact, you may have noticed your sump pump working hard this week. Wednesday's rain storm dropped 1.60″ of rain in Hingham, with a similar amount in Hull. That heavy rain comes on the heals of the 4th snowiest February in 60 years on the South Shore, with 31.5″ falling in Hingham. While the snow pack was down to about 6″ before this week's rain, those remaining snow piles were loaded with water that is now being released in milder conditions.
When all of this month's snow was melted down, and combined with the rain that fell, the liquid total reached 6.82″ this month. That's nearly 3″ greater than average, and places February 2013 at 5th wettest in 60 years.

Do this weekend's two road teams, Baltimore and San Francisco, have a chance in their conference championship games?
For the 49ers, they have an all-time 2-10 road playoff record. In fact, you have to go back to a playoff game after the 1988 regular season to find the last time the 49ers won a road playoff game. That was January 8, 1989 when they defeated the Bears 28-3 in a contest in Chicago. Not a good omen for the 49ers… or is this their year to snap that drought?
The Ravens, on the other hand, would probably wear the title of "NFL's best road playoff team since 2000." Baltimore has an 8-5 record as a road playoff team in their franchise history. Their eight road playoff wins since 2000 tops the NFL. A good omen for the Ravens.
Here's a look at the teams that have won road playoff games since 2000 (includes this year's playoff games).

Hepato-Pancreatico-Biliary (HPB)
The OHSU hepato-pancreatico-biliary (HPB) fellowship program is designed to draw from the multidisciplinary strengths of faculty members in abdominal organ transplant/hepato-pancreatico-biliary surgery, surgical oncology, and general surgery. The fellowship is aimed to complete the specialty training of well-trained general surgeons. The program will be two years in duration with one year focusing on clinical, basic and translational research, organ procurement and liver transplantation, the other year would focus on hepato-pancreatico-biliary surgery. Graduates will be expected to finish the program with substantial technical expertise in liver resection, complex biliary reconstruction, pancreas resection, liver transplantation, organ procurement, and minimally invasive liver and pancreatic surgery and techniques of liver tumor ablation.
Ultimately the program is designed to produce superb technical surgeons with a thorough understanding of the clinical and translational aspects of HPB disease and who will be poised to provide leadership and mentoring in the advancement of HPB surgery in coming years in and outside the United States.

Democratic Party shows its true colors
The Democratic Party has shown which side it has chosen. The name of God was originally left out of its platform, along with Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, only to be reinserted despite much protest from many members at the convention. However, the issues of unrestricted taxpayer-funded abortion and contraception were never in jeopardy and remain unscathed. I am glad to be on the other side.

The Fred Biletnikoff Award was established in 1994 and is presented to the nation's top receiver. No Trojan had claimed the award in its first 18 years of existence. Not Keyshawn Johnson, Mike Williams, Dwayne Jarrett, or Robert Woods, who were all honored as finalists, but returned home empty-handed. Now in the nineteenth year, USC finally breaks through, with sophomore Marqise Lee named the 2012 Biletnikoff Award winner.

Although reports of diabetes with the onset in early infancy are being added to the literature with increasing frequency, the condition in this age group is still sufficiently rare to be of unusual interest. We propose first to report a case that we have observed in which there appears to have been more extensive gangrene than in any similar case heretofore reported; secondly, to review the previously reported cases of gangrene associated with diabetes in infancy, and finally, to tabulate and discuss our collection from the literature of case reports of diabetes with onset in children under 1 year of age.

Behind the Cloud Redux
Cloud computing is the hot buzz phrase. But as both Shawn Powers and I have pointed out, cloud computing is not a new technology, or even a new implementation of new technology. But that does not mean it is well understood, either by those who are designing or those who are crying out for it as they follow the yellow-brick road (or the latest issue of PC Week). As several Anonymous (and not so anonymous) commentators have said, there is a lot more to cloud computing then just hardware, some good data links and some smart coding.
Because cloud computing means different things to different people (and at different times of the day), we need to be clear about our terms. Our friends at Wikipedia define cloud computing as:
Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared servers provide resources, software, and data to computers and other devices on demand...
This definition works well enough for me, so let us investigate it a little deeper. By definition, anything that is Internet-based tends not to have a physical or geographic location associated with it. For example, when I go to the Linux Journal web page, I am not thinking about Houston, Texas, where the magazine is officially located. In fact, because so few of us actually live in Houston, I think of the Linux Journal page as not really being anywhere. This is further emphasized by the vast array of comments from around the world to our musings.
Similarly, when you do a Google search, a good example of cloud computing, you are more likely to be hitting a server cluster located in a data-center more local to your physical (IP based) location than you are to be hitting their servers in California (and I am assuming they have servers in a data center in California). In both of these examples, the data we are talking about - search returns and generic web pages - are pretty innocuous. It really does not matter where the servers are located, and there are not any great crushing legal issues related to them.
But when, for example, the Federal government (we will use the US one since that is where I am, but any federal government has the same set of issues) or more importantly, your company, decides it is going to embark on cloud computing, then we as IT professionals need to not only be part of the process, but we need to be asking the tough questions at the beginning, not the day before the switch is thrown.
In cloud computing, location matters. And so does ownership. Lawyers need to be involved. And a lot of careful planning. Here are some things to consider: Who owns the cloud you are going to utilize? Are you contracting with a third party for storage or are you building it from scratch. If local law enforcement show up with a writ demanding the data be turned over, who is responsible for turning over that data? When? Under the laws of what state (or country)? Who owns the data paths? Is there traffic shaping? How will it affect all the nodes in the cloud? If you work for an International company, is response in say Singapore going to be the same as response in Virginia or the United Kingdom? Is it supposed to be? Who is responsible for ensuring it is. Can data be uploaded (or downloaded) the same in different countries? (If you think the answer is yes, you need to really look at your data and be sure. There is a lot of stuff that cannot be exported.) Is your data sharing disk with someone else's data? Is there a chance that someone else can get to your data with (or without) your knowledge and what is the exposure of your data if this happens? And then there are the usual sort of service level agreement questions about access, up-time, backup and recovery, passwords, password recovery, management statistics and the other day-to-day minutia that you need to keep the system running.
Behind the cloud it is still just computers - not the Great and All Powerful Oz - (and data, data connections and us IT professionals), but there is certainly a lot more that needs to be considered before connecting to it.

The diffusion of responsibilty.......
Interesting article. I note with that NIST has even had to define the "cloud", and that so far, they are on revision 15. See http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/SNS/cloud-computing/ I suspect that along with a nebulous definition, come equally nebulous responsibilities. Who gets sued / fired when data leaks out to where it shouldn't ? Or whatever disaster befalls a cloud provider. The opportunities for finger pointing when it all goes wrong increase dramatically, along with the layers of complexity and management.
Everything should be as simple as possible, but no simpler.
I sincerely hope that a major cloud provider, or a government department leaks sensitive data so that we can all really figure out that this emperor really has no clothes......
Hello, I love reading through
Hello, I love reading through your coaster blog! I wanted to leave a little comment to support you. Wishing you the best of luck for great blog..!Walk Fit Platinum
Thanks David Lane.
It was worth reading.
A very nice article to put up.
Great post, i really enjoyed
Great post, i really enjoyed this article. It has kind of brought to bare the serious questions one needs to answer before going out there to talk about cloud computing. Before this post, i really thought, since we normally represent the internet by the cloud, all activities that involves the use of the internet somehow amounted to cloud computing but i now know that there is more to that. Thanks very much for this great piece.
Cloud computing...
Gmail for example offers you quite a bit of the cloud (server somewhere in the world) space, so you can store what you want absolutely free, as far as Google won't go bankrupt...Gmail offers the same privacy conditions, so why not use gmail as the cloud server. You can store anything of practically any size in it. You don't have to send the email, you can simply keep your data as drafts, well-organized drafts, and also you can send a email to your "other" gmail account, which would keep the data very well organized, if you plan it well.
So, why pay money to any Internet storing company, for space. This space available in Gmail, Yahoo mail, etc...look at the marker, the gmail free space is growing every second!
Behind the Cloud Redux
I'm really enjoying your posts. This is quite convincing stuff. Great explanation.Its nice to see step by step to understand it. Really appreciate this post. Thanks for sharing and putting the article together. Also, thanks for introducing cloud computing.
A new manner of doing old things
Believe me I don't think about cloud as a total marketing global campaign to make a lot of money, using old techs in a brand new golden pack.
There are some new things inside the pack, indeed.
But, it looks like fax machine. Nothing new, in terms of tech(a phone, a thermal print, a modem, etc.) The great steps was to but it all together. And... It made a revolution in the communications.
Happy 2011 - Cheers
True, however this repackaging allows me to work 3 months out of the year from overseas. So nice repackaging making a huge impact on businesses.

I once walked into a data center and found a floating disembodied green head calling itself Oz, wait I might have been dreaming!
Anyway, great article if only it could be published in the major newspapers to enlighten the masses.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

I am going to be taking a look at the top five running backs that off the radar to look for in your fantasy football league this year.
The middle to late rounds is when you're going to want to take a look at these players if they're still available in your league.
These aren't the best, but certainly aren't the worst. The potential is definitely there as some are coming off great seasons last year.
Not only could they give your team some added depth, but may end up out performing your peers when you really need them too

Magnificent, including great textural richness, so rare. This excites deep envy of a bar of soap, and it's a fine work, from framing to lighting to the fascinating composure of the hands. But one begins with a perfect delt, trap, and neckline, enlists a perfect profile, and then goes on from there to do one's best not to waste them. Really not so difficult, I guess, particularly if some unantagonising expression can be elicited. Then, I think people will be well disposed toward the picture, on principle, and you can play with steam and colour balances without losing their confidence. I especially admire the loop of the hose and its positioning. Yup, I'd have been delighted to have been there.ReplyDelete

Video Series: Our Patients
Health Topics: Neurosurgery
Meet Connor, up-and-coming tennis champ and former brain surgery patient at Children's National. A few years ago, Connor's health was unexpectedly placed in danger when a simple game of catch ended in a baseball striking him just above his left eyebrow. After diagnosis at another hospital, Connor was immediately rushed to Children's National with an epidural hematoma—a traumatic injury where blood pools and applies pressure against the brain. It was an emergency situation, and Children's National was ready with specialists in brain trauma who were prepared to operate at a moment's notice.

A Chiari malformation is a congenital (present at birth) defect in the area of the back of the head where the brain and spinal cord connect. The condition is also called Arnold Chiari malformation.
Epilepsy is a neurological condition involving the brain that makes people more susceptible to having recurrent unprovoked seizures.
Hydrocephalus is a condition in which there is excessive fluid in and around the brain. It occurs from a lack of absorption, blockage of flow, or overproduction of the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) that's made inside the ventricles.
Surgical treatment of epilepsy is usually sought when a child has seizures that cannot be controlled by standard therapy with medications (and sometimes special diets such as the ketogenic diet).

The Old Republic: The Trials of the Nicest Sith in the Universe
A look at life for a kindhearted adherent of the Dark Side.
By Ryan Winterhalter Dec 29, 2011 9:47AM PSTTags: PC
While I didn't mention it in any of my previous posts, I'm playing through Star Wars: The Old Republic as a Light Side loving Sith. Since the game offers both Empire and Republic players the option of being good or evil, I thought I should check out what life is like for evil Jedi and good Sith -- the short answer: It's not easy. In addition to the constant ridicule by other Imperials and my companions, my own "sweetest Sith in the galaxy" regularly comes across equipment only useable by Dark Side players. Lightsaber after armor after implant slips through my hands, and there are very few Dark Side items to make up for the constant stream of disappointment in my inventory. I suppose I could simply hit up a vendor, but why doesn't the game offer a little bit more support to contrarian Sith like myself? Every now and then a Light Side moral choice will result in extra loot, but not often enough to make up for the equipment and armor that I seem to constantly pass up.
Despite my alignment troubles, my most recent quests earned me nice equipment and even better XP. Heading into Nar Shaddaa over-leveled saved me more trouble than I expected. I completed all the major quest lines without serious difficulty, and thanks to my daily space battles and PvP matches I earned enough experience to skip most of the Heroic missions on the planet. I'll probably come back to them when I help level up friends, but as I learned last night, some group quests require more than a few extra levels.
With my Sith Assassin sitting just a few XP shy of level 27, I decided to complete the level 21 Flashpoint Athiss before I leveled up out of the quest's range (quests and enemies five levels below you offer minimal or no XP). After joining up with three other guildmates, we walked through the early parts of the Flashpoint with hardly any trouble at all, despite not having a single healer among us. That all changed when we encountered the second boss, The Beast of Vodaal Kressh. This giant lizard spawned what seemed like infinite waves of mini-beasts, and no matter how quickly we took them down, we'd only get a few seconds to attack the beast before a new wave would appear and demand the party's attention. While earlier Flashpoints required little more than four players, Athiss made it clear that an all-DPS party just can't cut it after a certain point.
This ill-fated quest aside, the game is getting easier as I progress. I finally have enough abilities to ensure that I can always try more than one strategy when I hit an enemy who's giving me trouble. If I tangle with a foe who's resistant to force damage, I can hit Force Speed and wail away with my lightsaber. If an enemy surprises me with a vicious melee attack, I can keep him at a distance with my medium- and long-range lightning attacks. If the game throws multiple strong or elite enemies at me, I can use stealth and various crowd control spells to keep them at bay for minutes at a time. As much fun as TOR has been up to this point, it's only the past day or so where I've felt that the combat called for anything more complex than hitting the same three numbers on a keyboard. While these new options make the game easier, they also makes it more interesting, engaging, and entertaining.
Next time: To be honest, I'm not sure. Though I completed all the Nar Shaddaa story quests, I haven't yet returned to my ship to find out where to go next. Wherever it is, I hope I can continue my pace of leveling up once a day.

I too was being a light side sith but looks like I'm making a change
Don't listen to him...Posted: Dec 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by Clandestino
He's completely full of crap, you don't get any extra gear for being dark, there's lots of LS gear emp side, he just makes up nonexistent issues in each of his posts to give an appearance of taking a critical approach to the game, that way they can call it a "review series". My guess is that it jacks up the number of hits they get to the site, and since it's too early to write a real review of it since it's an mmo, this is the current game plan it seems
very personalPosted: Dec 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by Rav3n
the article could be a little more interpersonal... using words like we instead of I, and let's instead of my, encouraging community.
It's a blog.Posted: Dec 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by Archintyeron
Not an article.
Well...Posted: Dec 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by Rayzear
I guess I better start being an Evil Sith Warrior if I want to have decent gear...
This guy makes things upPosted: Dec 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by Clandestino
After having played this for a while, I find myself regularly facepalming these days when I check out 1up and see any of this guy's posts...like, he already says "I hope I can continue my pace of levelling once a day" and now the next post is gonna be him whining about how levelling gets *gasp* slower the further in you go. Basically, if you find yourself playing this game and you run into any of the situations detailed in this blog series, just quit now and go back to something you actually enjoy doing
Another misleading post by this moron...Posted: Dec 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by Clandestino
I've read a few of these now, and all I can say is that unless you're one of the people who's been playing Call of Duty so much for the past few years that you didn't realize other games existed, you're probably not going to have much in common with this guy's experience of things. Not to mention he straight up lies about stuff, I never saw any dark choices that got me extra gear and I run into more light gear than dark gear, and I'm a lot further in than this guy
I'm confusedPosted: Dec 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by MViper
I'm at lvl 25, and I play as an Darkside Sniper...where's all this darkside gear my quests are supposed to be dumping? I know in the Imperial fleet I can buy specific gear because of my affiliation, but none of my quests have done this.
Class by ClassPosted: Dec 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by Rwinterhalter
Maybe it's a class based thing. For me it's mostly been lightsabers which I can't use.
Well...Posted: Jan 02, 2012 12:00AM PST by Clandestino
You're still not really gonna see much Light/Dark specific gear from quest rewards, MAYBE one or two, but I really stress the maybe since I can't actually think of a single one myself. If you're talking about random drops though then yeah that happens all the time, just like how casters can randomly find melee gear and vice versa
good thing this isn't on 360Posted: Jan 02, 2012 12:00AM PST by SuperSledge
because minus the subscription fee I'd have to buy it

The Ticket went festival bananas today, with a big guide to the so-close-you-can-almost-touch-it August Bank Holiday Weekend.
Talking of bananas (or things that look like them), Toots of Maytals cooks up a recipe for Grilled Jamaican Fish & Plantains in Booking the Cooks. He'll be at Liss Ard. You can try it yourself, although the Jamaican goat fish could be tricky to get hold of.
It asked Tony Clayton-Lea to pick 5 acts out of Liss Ard. In the end, he went all Spinal Tap and pushed it all the way up to 11. (They include Julie Feeney, right.
By coincidence, All The Way Up To 11 is also the headline for Lauren Murphy's interview with The Charlatans, who play Castlepalooza – she adds five acts to catch there (and manages to stick with five).
Rock writing heavyweight Jim Carroll meets the equally hunky Bressie ahead of Indiependence

UK-Caribbean Ministerial Forum Pledges to Work Towards Agreement in Copenhagen
17 July 2008: Ministers at the Sixth UK-Caribbean Forum, which took place in London, UK, from 14-16 July 2008, highlighted the threat posed by climate change to security and prosperity, and agreed to continue to raise awareness of the threats of climate change and to work towards a rapid transition to a low carbon economy.
The UK indicated it will: fund capacity building initiatives in the Caribbean; support the development of a (CARICOM) Strategy on Climate Change and an economic impact review; help the region prepare for future international climate change negotiations; and push for deeper emission reduction commitments by all developed countries. Ministers pledged their support to the Bali Action Plan and to work towards an agreement at the 2009 UNFCCC conference in Copenhagen. They stressed the need for a greater focus in international negotiations on adaptation programmes in small vulnerable economies and the increasing pressures on standing forests.
On the Millennium Development Goals, they noted that the food and energy crises could hinder future progress, and welcomed the World Food Programme's emergency appeal and the creation of the UN High-Level Task Force on the Global Food Security Crisis. Ministers underscored that the universality of the climate change and food and oil crises, and called for inclusive international collaboration and strengthening multilateral cooperation.

KFC Announces New Animal-Welfare Standards
KFC, the world's largest chicken restaurant chain, announced new standards Thursday meant to guarantee humane treatment for its birds from hatchery to slaughterhouse. The fast-food giant also asked the government to review a possible change in how processors slaughter its birds. KFC wants to know if gassing the birds with blasts of carbon dioxide would be safe for consumers and slaughterhouse workers. Its suppliers now stun the birds, then slit their throats. KFC and its parent, Yum! Brands Inc., said the changes were not spurred by protests from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. "We believe this is the right thing to do," said Jonathan Blum, Yum's senior vice president of public affairs. PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said the new standards don't deal with the worst abuses of chickens, which include drugging birds, breeding them to grow so quickly they collapse under their own weight, or sending some birds to slaughter while still conscious. Friedrich said PETA would continue protests against KFC. The group claims KFC's birds spend their short existence crammed into in poorly ventilated and barren sheds. The group has demanded that KFC suppliers add more living space and areas for perching. PETA claims that at slaughter, some chickens aren't knocked out by the electric stun bath and are conscious when their throats are slit and even when dumped into tanks of scalding water to remove feathers. The new poultry standards adopted by KFC apply to the birds' housing, nutrition, and how they are caught and transported to the slaughterhouse. KFC does not own or operate any poultry farms or processing plants. It purchases chickens from 18 suppliers around the country. Under the new standards, birds must be able to move about and have access to food and water in shelters that are clean and well-ventilated. Suppliers must properly train employees on how to handle the chickens to avoid injuries to the birds. KFC has more than 11,000 restaurants worldwide and serves about 8 million customers daily. The new standards were developed at the request of the National Council of Chain Restaurants and the Food Marketing Institute.By Bruce Schreiner, Associated Press

Navy Leaves a Battered Island, and Puerto Ricans Cheer
For most of the more than 9,000 people of Viéques, the official end today of Navy bombing exercises after more than 60 years was cause for an islandwide celebration of the conclusion of a painful era and the hope for a new beginning...the Navy used a 900-acre firing range on the eastern tip of the tiny island for bombing exercises. For decades it insisted that the exercises could not take place elsewhere, because the area offered a unique opportunity to conduct ship-to-shore gunnery practice and aerial bombings...Robert F. Kennedy Jr., president of Waterkeeper Alliance, an environmental group, spent a month in jail in 2001 for trespassing during a protest on the island. Mr. Kennedy said the Navy's withdrawal was a mixed blessing. "The problem is they're leaving the poison behind," he said. "There are tens of thousands of unexploded bombs," Mr. Kennedy said. "Fish are contaminated, crabs are contaminated, seagrass is contaminated. The soils are contaminated with toxins. The fact that they're leaving the island would be great, if they would clean up."Read the entire article by Dana Canedy, NY Times

A Movement to Grant Legal Protections to Animals is Gathering Force
Does a pig packed into a tiny factory cage waiting to be killed have any rights in the United States? Should it have? And what about the chimpanzee, who shares 99 percent of its active DNA with humans? Should anyone be allowed to "own" an animal with so many of our own attributes, including the ability to reason, use tools, and respond to language? Isn't that like slavery? The fight to give animals legal rights barely registers on the environmental agenda, but perhaps it should. This isn't simply an endless philosophical debate but a gathering global force with broad implications for our planet's future, including how we use our natural resources. If animals had rights, we probably couldn't continue to eat them, experiment on them with impunity, or wear their skins on our backs. Our fundamental relationship would change. But precisely because our way of life depends on exploiting them, animals don't really have any significant "rights" in America, although Congress passed the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act (which requires simply that animals be "rendered insensitive to pain" before being killed) in 1958 and the Animal Welfare Act (which sets limited standards for humane care but exempts small laboratory animals) in 1966. All states afford animals some small measure of protection through anticruelty laws. These laws have nothing to say, however, about an animal's "right" not to be slaughtered or used for any number of human purposes. In 2003, however, a new movement is gathering force that is trying to afford some genuine legal rights for animals. Buoyed by a growing awareness about animal intelligence and capacities, the courts, state governments, and the general public (in statewide referenda) are enacting and enforcing new legislation.

Kerry's Equity Plan May Boost Environment Credentials in Primaries
Sen. John Kerry's (D-MA) Earth Day announcement aimed at boosting environmental justice issues may give the Democratic presidental candidate the leading edge with uncommitted environmentalists in the party's closely contested nominating race.Kerry announced a broad initiative to address environmental hazards that disproportionately affect minority communities. He called for the creation of "environmental empowerment zones" in which local officials and a federal task force led by the EPA administrator would ensure environmental justice is considered in development decisions; the elevation of EPA's Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ) -- currently housed in the agency's enforcement office -- to the sub-cabinet level, as well as increasing its budget and authority; and creating a national comprehensive health tracking system to monitor illnesses linked to environmental causes. The whole article and Kerry's speech is available on InsideEPA.com.

Re: Animal Testing Necessary for Some Research
To: Daily Bruin ViewpointI am writing to express my extreme disgust that the editors of the Daily Bruin would use their forum to support animal experimentation on campus. You charge the protestors with resorting to slogans instead of rational discourse, but you miss the point here on two accounts. One, such protest only occurs because the forums for broader debate on these issues are often empty or unavailable on this campus and so inflammatory protest is a valid attempt to catalyze exactly the type of academic dialogue you suggest the protesters denied by their actions. Look, it has successfully forced the Daily Bruin into a position statement. Secondly, and more importantly, on this particular issue it is within the debate proper that the testing upon "persons" -- for primate subjects have been demonstrated to have exactly that quality (see books by either Steven Wise or Joel Feinberg) -- is not only unethical but immoral. As such, while testing upon animals may have tacit university support, it is exactly this form of support which demands an impassioned response by those it claims to educate. To react calmly, with reasons for why the torture and murder of persons is unacceptable behavior, strikes those informed on the issue as not only cruel but inhuman. In the few words allotted me here I can not take up your every point with the detail each deserves, so I constrain myself only to question your framing the argument of research upon primates as utilitarian when it is not. To speak thus of a greater good provided only by unhappily necessary murder, I needn't remind you, smacks of many of the great acts of political atrocity committed in modern times. Some of which are indeed occurring right now in the name of freedom generally. Yours, Richard Kahn

How the West Was One: The Role of the American Frontier in the Global Internet Imaginary by Richard Kahn
A "whole-earth" discourse stresses the globe's organic unity and matters of life, dwelling, and rootedness. It emphasizes the fragility and vulnerability of a corporeal earth and responsibility for its care. It can generate apocalyptic anxiety about the end of life on this planet or warm sentiments of association, community and attachment. Such a discourse has to confront the globe's islandness in the oxymoron of global localism. A "one-world" discourse, by contrast, concentrates on the global surface, on circulation, connectivity, and communication. It is a universalist, progressive, and mobile discourse in which the image of the globe signifies the potential, if not actual, equality of all locations networked across frictionless space. Consistently associated with technological advance, it yields an implicitly imperial spatiality, connecting the ends of the earth to privileged hubs and centers of control.-- Denis Cosgrove, Apollo's Eye[1]

Shawn Evans of the Calgary Roughnecks heads up the National Lacrosse League's All-Pro teams for the 2013 season. No Buffalo Bandits were selected for the first or second team.
Evans scored 112 points this past season to lead the league. He joins Garrett Billings of the Toronto Rock, Rhys Duch of the Washington Stealth, Jordan MacIntosh of the Minnesota Swarm, Kyle Rubisch of the Edmonton Rush, and Matt Vinc of the Rochester Knighthawks.
The second team consisted of John Grant of Colorado, Callum Crawford of Minnesota, Curtis Dickson of Calgary, Jesse Gamble of Toronto, Mike Grimes of Washington, and Brandon Miller of Philadelphia.

Now we've got some juice.
Now we've really got something to watch here with the 'Skins. Will Dan Snyder really do this? Will he really pull off this move? Or should the Washington Redskins stay at No. 10?
With the NFL draft just a little over a week away, there are reports that Washington will move up and take Denver's No. 2 pick, with the idea of drafting Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert.
As much as I was stunned by the rumor of Philly trading up and sending Kevin Kolb to Buffalo for the Bills' No. 3 pick—and a shot at Patrick Peterson—this trumps that by a mile.
We'll get into that a little more today, but part of what makes this so compelling is the argument of taking a quarterback now or waiting for next year, when there will be even more elite quarterbacks to choose from, including Boise State's Kellen Moore, Matt Barkley of USC, Stanford's Andrew Luck and Oklahoma's Landry Jones.
Personally, I still like what one website predicted, with Washington selecting TCU quarterback Andy Dalton in the second round. Brilliant idea. Only problem is that Dalton's stock has continued to move up, and he may now be a late first-round pick.
Don't forget the Jake Locker angle either. Locker's been attached to Washington for a while now (and Seattle as well). I get the whole idea about Locker's mobility and how he's a fit for Mike Shanahan's offense.
Take him at 10 though? No way. Shanahan will get criticized a ton for that. That'll happen, though, if they trade up to No. 2 and mortgage away a ton.
That's the fun of the draft. Nothing like good debate and good rumors to discuss.
What makes Washington so interesting is the division it's in. See, Snyder may have to be bold and roll the dice because Philly's had a history of moving up, and you can't ever count out the possibility of Jerry Jones doing something with Dallas.
At the same time, Washington has tons of needs and has got to emerge with another wide receiver and a pass rusher.
So let's go at it. I'll post as many updates on the latest Redskins rumors, speculation and news that I can find. May throw on some videos as well. Certainly a few rants, too. Chime in with your opinions, and let's enjoy the buildup.

Teachers deal daily with the trials and tribulations in the lives of their high school students. One Northshore High School teacher meets that challenge with a head-on approach and an open heart. You might say he wrote the book on connecting with students.
Coach Walter Ryan Adams, author of the newly published "To Be the King of Diamonds," starts each new school year sharing his very personal history of overcoming not only the usual teenage struggles, but also the loss of loved ones. Year after year, his students have responded to his candid openness.
"I've been a teacher for 8 years. I want my students to know I understand the types of situations they are dealing with. So over the past several years, I have started each new school year by sharing my story of losing two good friends and a mentor while I was in school and how I dealt with those losses," said Coach Adams.
"I was nervous at first and felt a little vulnerable, but the kids responded." Students don't always remember facts and dates, but they do remember the big moments, the Bogalusa native said. He credits this openness with creating better communication between him and his students.
"My story is what I have to give," said Adams.
He taught for several years in Alabama before moving to Slidell. On Senior Day in 2009 at Chelsea High School, the entire senior class signed a goodbye card and asked if he would consider writing his opening-day story in book form so that their siblings could benefit from the message as well.
After contacting his friends' families for their blessings, Adams spent one week writing "To Be the King of Diamonds" and then promptly sat on the manuscript for a year, still deciding whether or not to publish it. A presentation to a youth group in December of 2010 renewed his idea to publish the book, and it was printed by Trafford Publishing in February.
"I grew up as an introvert, but I always had baseball in my life," Adams said. Through the friendships made on the field, he came to three important revelations he shares with his students.
"The first is you never know how far a kind word will go in someone else's life. Second is the importance of a common bond while sharing the same path in baseball or anything in life. Thirdly, always let people know what they mean to you," he said.
The NHS baseball coach and civics teacher has received a good response from his book, and a former elementary school is using the book as part of their curriculum.
"The losses I felt as a teenager were hard. In many ways, if those things didn't happen the way they did, I wouldn't be in a position to teach and coach. I know I was meant to be in Room 703, teaching these kids at this time," he said.
"To Be the King of Diamonds" is available on Amazon.com and at www.trafford.com.
Mary K. Bellisario, District 15 School Board member, will host her first community meeting for the 2011-12 school year Tuesday at 7 p.m. The monthly meetings are held in the Boyet Junior High School cafeteria at 59295 Rebel Dr., off Pearl Street
and are open to anyone with questions concerning school-based issues.
For more information concerning school board issues, contact Bellisario at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cypress Cove Elementary School will hold an open house for parents of PEI, prekindergarten and kindergarten students Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. The school is at 540 South Military Road.
Students at Little Oak Elementary School were inspired to do great things during a recent visit from a character named NED and his friend, Andaiye. The presentations were held during several assemblies in the school gymnasium.
During the lively 45-minute presentations, Andaiye spun a tale involving NED, space aliens, a dog, an amusement park and a trip to France. While the children in the audience were enthralled by her animated story and yo-yo tricks, they also received an encouraging message.
"NED stands for Never Give Up, Encourage Others, and Do Your Best," Andaiye said.
"This is my first year doing these programs, and it's amazing to watch the kids' faces while I do my yo-yo tricks and talk to them about being their best. They get very excited."
The motivational program is a product of All for Kidz, a national promotions company that promotes academic achievement through character development.
"The NED program is wonderful because it helps encourage our students to stay focused and become champions at school and in life," said Assistant Principal Kimberly Van der Klis.
As an All for Kidz performer, Andaiye said she initially received some intense yo-yo training and has traveled to schools throughout the United States of America, Canada and New Zealand in the past year.
The presentation was co-sponsored by the school and Little Oak's PTA, according to Van der Klis. The NED Show presentations are free to schools in exchange for a marketing opportunity of All for Kidz products later in the school year through the PTA.

Think about it. All they have to do is disqualify $3M in expenses from AMC. You can bet AMC made it look like they spent more than they did too to reach the inflated $103M number. This is a slam dunk. Ergen doesn't go to court unless he think it's a better payoff and he's almost always right.
I hate to tell ya but DISH will lose thier ASK in this case, have you even read the news? DISH hid emails and lied, this stock is going to tank. Might want to get out before it gets REAL!
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Obviously smart money does not agree with you…….
"Voom has contended that "service" in terms of the contract with EchoStar means the entire Voom business, including marketing, corporate overhead and related expenses. And it claims it spent more than the required amount."
This is such #$%$....OMG. SO, if they spend $1 dollar on the programming and $100M on marketing and overhead (fat pay checks), they'd be in compliance with the contract??? That is such #$%$. The jury is going to see right through this.
That's right, under that scenario the Dolan's and sons and wife's and mother in laws could pay themselves millions as President , Vice President ect…

Today you may be feeling discriminating, which could lead you to turn to your gut instinct and intuition when making important decisions. You are able to be discerning by making full use of all at your disposal: your mind, heart, and intuition. When we weigh any decision using the criteria from each of these wisdom centers, we are sure to make the best assessment possible. Our minds hold the knowledge that we have gained thus far, including our experiences, memories, and connections between those thoughts and our emotions. Our hearts go beyond emotion to deeper feelings based in love. And our intuition connects us to the wisdom of the universe and has the ability to weigh the information we glean from our hearts and minds with things we could not possibly know. By using your discernment today, you align your highest self with the wisdom of the universe for the good of all involved.
As we go through our daily lives, we do not need to use all of these in conjunction to make all of our decisions. But it would be wise to practice as often as we can so that we understand their guidance when we do turn to them. Daily meditation offers practice, so we will be able to connect for guidance on relationships or in times of stress. The more you exercise your abilities of discernment today, the more easily available they become to guide you when you need them the most.

The architectural brilliance of David Adjaye
admin | 4/5/2012, 4:30 a.m.
David Adjaye, 44, is a name you may not immediately recognize but hes become a fixture in the world of architecture and is what most experts call a rising star. His most recent achievement was being chosen to design the $500 million National Museum of African American History and Culture, part of the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., that is slated to open in 2015. However, his selection should not be taken lightly. He beat out some of the worlds most established architects, including Norman Foster, 74, Henry Cobb, 83 and Moshe Safdie, 71. He has major cultural commissions that include the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo and has gotten considerable praise for work on the Moscow School of Management and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver both recently opened. And heres the caveat: Adjaye is Black born in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and the son of a Ghanaian diplomat. Hes lived in Yemen, Lebanon and then London when he was nine. And he has been prepared for greatness privately-educated with a Bachelor of Arts from London South Bank University and a Master of Arts from the Royal College of Art. Adjaye was in Miami several months ago, making new friends, observing the architecture of Miami and enjoying the accolades that come with being chosen as Design Miamis Designer of the Year for 2011. But while some want to pretend that it doesnt exist, Adjaye knows that he has reached a place of prominence that is unique for a man of color and that in his field, he sticks out like a sore thumb. People say Im an African architect but even saying African is way too general, he says. Im Ghanaian. Thats my sensibility. Technique is what Ive learned from the West. So I say Im a British-Ghanaian architect. Charity projects are closest to his heart Adjaye is without question an A-list architect. But what sets him apart from his colleagues is that while he keeps getting major institutional projects with very large budgets, he also goes for smaller, charity-driven ones socially-minded public projects like the flood-resistant homes in New Orleans or Idea Stores, a new age library in one of Londons working class neighborhoods that is fused with a community center. The center has a childrens play area, computer center, cafe and outdoor market. This is where Adjaye says he finds his real inspiration. My research, my interest is in the social aspects of the production of architecture how it influences society and what it is in different parts of the world. In what is aptly-described as a white mans profession, Adjayes race and youthful exuberance are a wonderful combination. Still, he realizes that its almost impossible to escape the race question. Race is the elephant in the room every room, he said. Yes, I am a Black architect. By D. Kevin email@example.com
