Featured Golf News
The Gallery on Dove Mountain & Those Wicked Snack-Food Greens
It's a Monday in February, the first practice round of the WGC Accenture Match Play Championship at The Gallery Golf Club, South Course, near Tucson. I'm standing by the putting green, watching a few of the world's 64 top-ranked players when, suddenly, Tiger Woods casually strolls across the practice green.
I hardly notice his presence until someone in the crowd whispers "There's Tiger," and others chime in. Amid a general chant, "There's Tiger . . . follow Tiger," I duck out of the way, almost swept along by the surging crowd following him towards the driving range, then on down to the first tee for his practice round. Hundreds of fans tracking the player who's putting Marana, Ariz., on the (golf) map. Arnie had his Army; Tiger, the marquee name in golf, has his troops of adoring fans.
Earlier that morning, I followed 53rd-ranked Thomas Bjorn around the course (no army, no troops), apparently the first player to make the practice circuit on South. As I tracked Bjorn, taking a good walk unspoiled along the cart path, I pass private chalet tents, reserved for prime viewing along the middle section of the course where many matches will be contended, won and lost. These cushy spectator spots are a big part of the whole Match Play experience, primarily a corporate and charity function that includes a charity of sorts for the 32 first-round losers who each will walk away with a cool $40K just for showing up for a day. In a total $8 million purse, the winner alone would take $1.35M. But enough of that . . . it's only money.
I watched Bjorn fiddle through some fast fairways and quick greens. Every pro has his routine; Bjorn seemed not much interested in his putting game - he did have one great chip-in, but mostly several practice putts on each green. I think I could see what might have troubled him: the greens, purportedly a blend of three different bentgrasses, appeared lightning fast - PGA-Tour fast - but there was probably another, bigger issue. These are plateau-type greens, with a falling-off factor that would deflate many a pro this week. Bjorn and 31 other golfers imploded in Round 1; by Round 2, almost every top player and most of the favorites were gone.
The Gallery South Course is a beautiful desert layout and it's easy to see why the WGC/PGA chose it: it's yet another of the media-configured courses played weekly on the PGA Tour - venues staged for TV exposure and coverage. Even Golf Channel's Nick Faldo had the cheek to suggest, in a deadpan tone, that it's odd that the hazards are made so "perfect" for the pros, with the inference that the South Course accommodates this pro-tour course perfection.
More signs of perfection as I tramped across one of the fairways in a long sheep-like line of spectators. I'd been hearing how pristine The Gallery was for the competition. How carefully such courses are created or groomed to please the pros and keep the media and sponsors contented.
I play regularly in the area, but until you trod a fairway like this - The Gallery is "semiprivate" (which means it's pricey to play), you don't realize how short the grass is cut and how fast and far a PGA pro can get a ball to roll. It's amazing, almost shocking, to pad across a fairway that has a turf consistency of a putting green at your local muni. And by extension, it's a bit bizarre to stand on a so-called "rough" or "first-cut" that's of a quality you'd expect on a fairway at your average public or even private course on a dry summer day. Still, I was relieved not to find any fairways painted green for the TV coverage. The immaculate perfection on the South Course requires no green coloring.
Course perfection abounds in every way but one: those dastardly fall-off greens. So it's on those tricky, deceptively-commodious greens that you'd expect the real drama of the Accenture Match Play to unfold. Course designer John Fought intended the 7,466-yard, par-72 South to be a thinking player's course. Modeled after Pinehurst No. 2, as Fought explained in a recent Cybergolf interview, he advised pros to play smart, understand risk-reward, and position the ball well; in short, qualities we don't always see on the PGA Tour and sadly, but increasingly, qualities that aren't even much called for.
These consequences - with putting ultimately determining Match Play winners - were much on the minds of the TV commentators at The Gallery. Faldo on the greens: ". . . humpy and bumpy with lots of fall-off." Johnny Miller: ". . . that trickle effect" as the ball rolls toward the valley from greens with "lots of undulations . . ." greens with "false edges" and the center of greens often the flattest spots.
So it might very well have been the effects of those snack-food-shaped greens on the South Course - rippled potato-chip contours, undulating surfaces, taco-chip curves and ground swells, burger-bun roll-off edges from the plateaus - that could have proved fateful for many a fine player.
And a good thing too. Any little ripple that puts a crimp in the PGA Tour's misguided quest for the perfect course is fine by me. The pros' strategy of choice - the rip-it and wedge-it game - has been monotonous and robotic far too long. Perish the thought, but maybe some day the Tour game will pull back from this fantasy, NeverNeverLand picture-perfect golf; maybe the powers-that-be will find ways to make big money with a different sort of game; maybe even rediscover or move toward a grittier, unpredictable and ultimately exciting course and format.
Will golf for the armchair spectator ever be anything but a relentlessly long ball-short wedge competition that it is today? Aside from the odd flop shot or long multi-directional putt that miraculously drops in, what is there in the current Tour format that quickens the pulse? Call me old-fashioned, but what if the PGA banned those 60-degree, square-grooved wedges? Or banned wedges entirely?
Faldo . . . Miller . . . Feherty . . . stay on your guard . . . there may be changes ahead. One of these days, the cameras on those fairway towers could be angled or reconfigured to show a whole new look at this royal and ancient game. You know, I heard tell about this here old shot they call a bump and run - maybe Tiger will bring that out of his big bag of tricks again - but that's another story.

Her reaction to Tuesday's big news, revealed on The Voice? "Laughter, a lot of laughter," Levine, 34, told PEOPLE after the top 10 elimination show. "She's keeping me humble."
The Maroon 5 frontman said he shared his selection with Prinsloo this way: "Hey, how ya doing? Let's go to dinner tonight. And PEOPLE magazine says I'm the Sexiest Man Alive," he said.
Prinsloo, who has posted her own sexy skivvy pics of her fit and handsome man online, is certain to approve. But as for how the significance of the award shapes up for Levine? It seems like a mixed bag, the rocker said, noting he was "shocked" but also grateful to be chosen.
"It's hard to talk about it because you feel like you owe it to be kind of self-deprecating about it because it is an iconic thing, but also silly," he said. "I'm not going to comment on anything other than it's really flattering and I feel lucky."
He's also ready for plenty of ribbing along the way. "It's going to hit me when I'm constantly the butt of every joke every friend and family member makes for the next 20 years of my life, but I'm ready to handle it all."
It was an overall good night for Levine, who accepted the honor amid excitement that his team had made it through to the next round of competition.

Modern Portfolio Theory and Risk Management: Assumptions and Unintended Consequences
James P. Hawley
Saint Mary's College of California
Mehdi Beyhaghi
University of Texas at San Antonio - Department of Finance
May 10, 2011
The article presents an overview of the assumptions and unintended consequences of the widespread adoption of modern portfolio theory (MPT) in the context of the growth of large institutional investors. We examine the many so-called risk management practices and financial products that have been built on MPT since its inception in the 1950's. We argue that the very success due to its initial insights had the unintended consequence, given its widespread adoption, of contributing to the undermining the foundation of the financial system in a variety of ways. This study has relevance for both the on-going analyses of the recent financial crisis, as well as for various existing and proposed financial reforms.

As the Desire Paths Flickr Pool makes the rounds, I thought I'd point to Matt's recent article, Accepting Invitations: Desire Lines as Earthly Offerings
I would like to suggest that desire lines are not merely the product of a human-desiring, nor are they merely a material expression of some aspect of the human imagination; rather, desire lines are the product of an earth—a natural environment—that desires us, an earth that beckons to us and that offers to us new pathways and potential circuits that expand the interconnected network—the interdependent relationship—between us and itself. To trace a desire line, then, is to respond to an invitation, to accept that a particular trajectory has been revealed. We could describe desire lines as being in excess of human-centered desire or as something in excess of the lines that are inscribed by terrestrial flows themselves; however, to do so would be to suggest that desire lines are somehow not inherent to the give and take that already exists between people and their environment…

The chief executive of Best Buy said at CES last week that he is "very nervous" about being able to supply customers with the millions of digital TV converter boxes needed ahead of the shutdown of most analog TV transmissions in 13 months.
"I think it's one of the biggest risks our industry has," Brad Anderson, CEO and vice chairman of Best Buy, told an industry audience at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
"The number of converter boxes that is going to be required could put tremendous pressure on us to solve all those problems" in a short time, said Anderson. "We're very nervous about the potential risk. Once it gets turned off, it could be very interesting."
Speaking on the same panel, Phil Schoonover, the CEO of Circuit City stores said Anderson's caution was appropriate. He contrasted the digital TV transition to the introduction of HDTV sets, which mainly attracted technically savvy consumers. "I think it will feel very different in this next round of TVs, because we're through the early adopters," Schoonover said. At the same time, he defended the transition as "well thought out," and said it has been handled in a very responsible way.
Steve Eastman, Target's vice president and general merchandising manager for consumer electronics, was less apprehensive about the digital transition. "From a category standpoint, I think it's great — it's getting people to talk a lot about HD and what technology they have in their home," he said.
But he acknowledged that a lot has to be done to prepare. "The clock's ticking and this is coming very quickly," he said. The company plans to have converter boxes in stores by April.

The Marquette University Libraries' Department of Special Collections and University Archives has recently completed two online projects relating to its Native American archival collections, which include K-12 curricula for History and Social Studies and extensive research resources on Native peoples in Alaska, Arizona, California, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
The "America's First Nations" website provides classroom-tested K-12 curricula for history and social studies developed by the department's 2000 NEH-funded summer institute. The 12 lesson plans were begun during the institute and tested last year in the participants' home classrooms. The curricula are written for a range of classes from early elementary through high school and a strong focus on history and social studies, but also include language arts, music, and art. Archivist Mark Thiel co-directed the $143,000 NEH project.
Descriptive inventories for the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions (BCIM) records have been mounted on the Marquette University Libraries' Web site. The records, dating from 1839, document Catholic relationships with Native Americans, including missions many of which were established by recent European immigrants. The collection contains over 501 cubic feet of documents, 25,000 photographic prints, and 419 reels of microfilm on topics including human rights advocacy, cultural change, community welfare, and mission and school finances for African Americans as well as Native Americans. Over 22,000 correspondents are found in the collection, including Native Americans, high-ranking church and government leaders, and missionaries and their supporters, from Europe, the Caribbean, and Canada as well as the United States. Marquette University received the BCIM Collection in 1977 in large part because of the advocacy of Rev. Francis Paul Prucha, S.J., Emeritus Professor of History, who used the records in the Bureau's Washington, D.C. headquarters while conducting research for his 1979 book, The Churches and the Indian Schools, 1888-1912.
The new online inventories will better enable researchers to plan on-site visits and borrow materials via interlibrary loan. The BCIM project is part of the department's on-going effort to put all of its collection inventories online. To follow later will be descriptive narratives to augment the inventories.

COLUMBIA - Well, the gasoline "user fee" or gas tax conversation continues this week.
You see, the state collects so little in gas taxes or "motorist user fees" that it leaves SCDOT with little money for upgrades to the roads, let alone reserves. That means that when the federal government's cash pot runs low - like it's doing right now - South Carolina has enough money to cover its ongoing projects on federal roads, but not enough to continue forth with scheduled projects.
Republican Sen. Larry Grooms, of Charleston, who chairs the Senate's Transportation Committee, has been encouraging SCDOT to scale back on its projects for months. But it's business as usual at the agency, and that has left Grooms a very alarmed Senator and Sen. Ray Cleary, R-Murrells Inlet, irked for lawmakers not having addressed fixes to SCDOT's revenue stream during this past legislative session.
"We rely on the federal government to help us maintain our roads," Cleary said. "And we're paying the piper now."

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
FRIDAY, March 8 (HealthDay News) -- Women with gestational diabetes mellitus treated with metformin or insulin have similar changes in markers of metabolic status and no differences in offspring birth weight, according to a study published in the March issue of Diabetes Care.
Helen L. Barrett, M.B.B.S., from the University of Queensland in Herston, Australia, and colleagues examined the association between circulating maternal and neonatal markers of metabolic status (glucose, lipids, C-reactive protein) with infant size at birth in women with gestational diabetes mellitus, where 236 women had been randomly assigned to metformin and 242 had been randomly assigned to insulin.
The researchers found that women treated with metformin had a significantly greater increase in maternal plasma triglycerides at 36 weeks of gestation (21.93 versus 9.69 percent). There were no other differences between treatment groups for maternal or neonatal metabolic markers or neonatal anthropometry. After adjusting for possible confounding variables, including maternal body mass index, a birth weight in the >90th percentile was associated with markers of insulin resistance, maternal glucose control, and triglycerides, while a birth weight in the <10th percentile was associated with triglycerides.
"There were few differences in circulating maternal and neonatal markers of metabolic status and no differences in measures of anthropometry between the offspring of women treated with metformin and the offspring of women treated with insulin," Barrett and colleagues conclude.

Questions from Webstock
As I've done before once or twice, I got excited enough talking about the projects we've been working on that I ran a bit over during my talk today and didn't get to the questions I wanted to ask the lovely audience at Webstock to help me answer. Suddenly there was a "0 minutes left" sign (woulda been nice if that were bigger and brighter, you guys), and boom! tIme to turn it over to Robin Sloan who said about the Big Black Mariah what I've had in mind for some time, of course much better than I ever could.
As I said, I've done this once or twice before, but these questions are important enough to me that I'd like to get them out in public so I take them seriously. So—bearing in mind that this was intended to be narrated by me, is super-early in their cogitation and public discussion—here's the question part of my talk in pdf format. For those not in a downloading mood, here are the basic questions, & some screenshots.
1. how things look: now & then
Mapping and data visualization today look a certain way. They look, in some ways, like early photography used to look, and here's why:
- Both are all about the tech; you ve to be a nerd to do it
- There's lots of talk around about what it is and what it isn't
- There's lots of talk about what it's "really for"
Let's get specific: Twitter visualizations, pretty soon, are going to look as archaic as this picture of me in jail in 1895:
There's also Louis Kahn that I want to finally think about in public. "You say to brick: 'what do you want, brick?' And brick says to you: 'I like an arch.' And if you say to brick: 'look, arches are expensive, and I could use a concrete lintel over you - what do you think of that, brick?' Brick says: 'I like an arch.' " There's something here about digital media, especially as we get a better sense for what the form of the medium is like, moving out of the early days of photography/data.
So my question for this one is: Where else can this analogy go? I think Robin Sloan probably has a stack of answers and I hope we get to talk.
2. why do they things look the way they look: whose hands build them?
- National Geographic maps: they look as if they were made by hand, and they are.
- The DesignersRepublic: their stuff looks like it was made by computers, but isn't
- Google Maps: looks as if it were done by a machine, but it isn't.
- Apple Maps: looks as if it were done by a machine, and was!
- Watecolor Maps: looks as if it were done by a person, but isn't
So my question for this one is: if our most salient work is made by hand with robots, what else is like that? What else will be?
3. what magic - literal magic - happens when you leave the cameras on?
In 2008 google maps revealed that all the cows face north. this had never been known before! It was because google left the cameras on and made them all available.
http:/kepler.nasa.gov does this with the night sky: leaves the lens on, discovers planets. My question here is: what else gets captured when the camera gets left on? what else can we learn?
4. delight & utility: gardens, farms, beer
Beer comes before agriculture. Gardens too. There are too many generational steps involved between grasses in their natural form and wheat worth harvesting for agriculture to be the thing people were shooting for when they domesticated plants. Drugs and beer and pretty flowers, on the other hand, can be made from a single generation of garden from wildflowers.
We talk all the time about data visualizations and maps that are useful. We don't talk at all about data visualizations and maps that delight you and make you laugh. We should
For this one, I don't have a question so much as I want to say this in public: delight precedes utility. Cool is necessary before useful comes along.
And so
I know it's raw, but people asked. If you're in a talking mood, you can find me on twitter and people are tagging their responses with #webstock. OK!

HIC Spotlight: Eric Wirba
In the midst of the Himalayan Institute Cameroon's major humanitarian initiatives, the remarkable stories of those responsible often go unreported. This section of the blog seeks to showcase the diverse range of backgrounds, talents, obstacles, and triumphs represented in our local staff and contacts.
Eric Wirba is the Operations Coordinator at the Himalayan Institute Cameroon. In this role he oversees the day-to-day operations of the center, which include housekeeping, gardening, vehicle maintenance, security and bookkeeping. Most recently, Eric has begun to work with the Total Health Mobile Unit, a traveling health clinic that serves many small villages in the area.

Eric grew up in Kumbo in a large family. He is the second youngest of seven with five brothers and a sister. His older brother Dr. Ajume is a professor in the US and first introduced Eric to the Himalayan Institute in early 2007. When the Himalayan Institute came to Kumbo in the spring of 2007, Eric was part of the initial team that got the place up and running. Eric is proud to be a part of an international team: "The HIC is a place where you meet people from different races and cultures who come to work for the benefit of the community."

BB10 OS will come to the PlayBook, confirms RIM
The new BlackBerry 10 OS is based on the same QNX platform as the current Playbook OS.
New Delhi: According to a report from Techradar, the BlackBerry PlayBook will be getting the BB10 OS as soon as it gets ready. Though no specific timeframe has been set by the company as yet, but the company claims to bring the BB10 OS to the Playbook later this year.
Rob Orr, RIM's VP of product management, confirmed the news to Techradar. He said, "We've said publicly a number of times that our first BB10 handset will be available towards the end of 2012, and that's still firmly the case," adding "At some point after the launch we'll bring BB10 to our PlayBooks, yes."
Owners will be relieved to hear that they will benefit from the new BlackBerry 10 OS, which is based on the same QNX platform as the current Playbook OS.
But when exactly will this take place is something that we still look forward to hear from RIM.

CDS was recently reminded by our colleagues at the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) that its members are eager to work!
Volunteer orthodontists are looking for patients to participate in the Donated Orthodontic Services (DOS) program, which has been providing free care since 2009 to children whose families can not afford needed orthodontic treatment.
The eligibility requirements are few:
Thanks to the generosity of orthodontists who donate one or two cases per year to this program, 113 Illinois children have completed $542,136 worth of orthodontic treatment they otherwise would not have received.
Perhaps you treat some families in your practice who can not afford orthodontic treatment for their children or have Medicaid that will not cover such services. Share with them an application for the DOS program, found at www.isortho.org, or call Kizzly Blue, DOS Coordinator, at 720.287.6183.
The only fee charged is $200 after acceptance into the program.
access to care
A tradition of working for the dental profession. The Chicago Dental Society was organized in 1864 and incorporated in 1878. The objective of the Chicago Dental Society is to encourage the improvement of the health of the public, to promote the art and science of dentistry and to represent the intrest of the members of the profession and the public that it serves.

Dr. Alasdair Roberts is speaking as part of the "Information in Society" speaker series. A lunch discussion and afternoon office hour are scheduled before the lecture, and the lecture will be recorded and archived online.
Lecture Abstract: The last decade has seen an extraordinary increase in the number of countries that have adopted laws like the US' Freedom of Information Act. Some people say that legal and technological change is producing a new age of transparency. But there are also complaints about new levels of secrecy -- justified in the name of executive privilege, national security, and corporate confidentiality. How do we make sense of these conflicting claims? Is governmental secrecy on the decline or getting worse?
Speaker Biography: Dr. Alasdair Roberts is the Jerome L. Rappaport Professor of Law and Public Policy at Suffolk University Law School. Dr. Roberts writes extensively on problems of governance, law, and public policy. He is the author of Blacked Out: Government Secrecy in the Information Age, and most recently The Collapse of Fortress Bush: The Crisis of Authority in American Government. Professor Roberts was elected as a fellow of the US National Academy of Public Administration in 2007. He is also an Honorary Senior Research Fellow of the School of Public Policy, University College London. He has had fellowships with the Open Society Institute and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Dr. Roberts received a JD from the University of Toronto in 1984, a Master's degree in Public Policy from Harvard University in 1986, and a Ph.D. in Public Policy from Harvard University in 1994.

In addition to being the most natural way to feed your baby, breastfeeding further enhances the bonding experience and provides the best nutrition for your new baby.
The process of breastfeeding and your milk change as your baby grows and develops. A newborn's feeding routine may be different than that of a breastfeeding six-month-old. As the baby grows, the nutrients in your milk adapt to your growing baby's needs.
Breastfeed if possible. It is the healthiest and safest option for most infants and supports an infant's ability to fight certain infections. Current recommendations state that mothers should breastfeed exclusively for the first 6 months and continue breastfeeding for the first year.
Breastfeeding support is offered during your hospital stay, and is also available on an outpatient basis. Our goal is to help you gain confidence in feeding your baby through education and assistance with breastfeeding. Summa Akron City Hospital is the first and only hospital in Summit County to receive the Baby-Friendly® designation. This is an international award given to hospitals that achieve the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding. Read more about this initiative.
Summa and our community offer additional breastfeeding assistance, including:
Bottle-feeding. If you decide not to breastfeed, or are unable to breastfeed, commercial iron-fortified formulas can provide adequate nutrition for your infant. Infant formulas contain adequate amounts of protein, calories, fat, vitamins and minerals for growth. However, formula does not contain the immune factors present in breast milk, which can help prevent infections. Offer cow's milk-based formula with iron as a first choice of formula if not breastfeeding.
To learn more about successful breastfeeding, register for our basic skills class held at Summa's Corporate Services Center, 1077 Gorge Blvd, Akron.

Jelly Splash Level 50 Tips & Hints
Jelly Splash Level 50 is a difficult Level to complete. There are various reasons why this is a difficult Level, but the most important one is that there are 2 Captured Jellys on the map.
Jelly Splash Level 50 Guide / Tips
I can see how people can spend quite a few lives on this Level. Not only is it annoying to clear the 2 Captured Jellys, but the Slime Ghosts do their best to make this Level hell for you.
The trick with this Level is to spend your first few moves either creating Super Jellys or clearing your way to the Captured Jelly at the bottom of the map. Once you've got a clear path, you can either connect Jellys of the same color as the Captured Jelly, or you could explode vertical Super Jellys in the same column as the Captured Jellys.
Remember, the number on the Captured Jelly decreases with every Jelly of the same color you connect with it. However, there is a second way to decrease the number on the Captured Jelly and that's by connecting it with a Super Jelly. When connected with a Super Jelly, the number required to set free the Captured Jelly decreases by 5.
In case you're wondering about the Captured Jelly on top of the map, well, don't worry about it. You only need to explode 3 vertical Super Jellys in the same column as the Captured Jelly to set it free. This shouldn't be a problem with 18 moves at your disposal.
The goal of Level 50 is to set free the 2 Captured Jellys within 18 moves. Fail to do so and you'll have to start over and spend a life. Watch the video below and get an idea of what you're supposed to do on Jelly Splash Level 50.
- Goal: Set free the 2 Captured Jellys within 18 moves
- 40.000 points = 1 Star
- 65.000 points = 2 Stars
- 85.000 points = 3 Stars

Erie's Wayne Elementary tries to spur parental participation
Assistant Principal Buckley Cook and other educators at Wayne Elementary School know that it is not enough to just ask parents to come to the school.
With students off for Thanksgiving break, parent-teacher conferences were scheduled Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. So for the third year in a row, school officials set out to find fun ways to draw parents into the building so they can talk about academics and student behavior.
"We don't know what parents' experience with schools has been, but we know what their children's experience can be," Cook said. "So our focus is getting them in touch with our teachers."
Wayne School held its third annual Family Fun Days in conjunction with parent-teacher conferences last week.
The school's gym turned into a game zone with corn hole, bowling and other activities. A retired teacher volunteered to read stories to younger children in attendance. The school's cafeteria turned into a bingo hall and was regularly stocked with drinks and food from Taco Bell.
"It's nice, because they can bring their kids and have some fun down here," said lead organizer Michelle Martucci. "And sometimes that's the only interaction Mom and Dad will have because they might be busy working."
But the event wasn't just about having fun.
The gym was lined with student-service vendors and representatives of organizations like UPMC Hamot -- which recently opened a clinic in the school -- and Sarah A. Reed Children's Center.
The event was organized by school officials and employees from the district's Erie Family Center.
Martucci is a prevention specialist at the Family Center. While dozens of families came through, she said, she would have liked to see a bigger turnout for the 650-student school.
"The vendors have been awesome, and the people who have been here have been so generous with their time," Martucci said. "It's unfortunate that we didn't get a better turnout. But we'll keep trying."
Martucci, who organized the event for the first time this year, said there was a bigger turnout in 2011.
Cook said about 100 people representing about 30 families visited the school by Tuesday afternoon, and while participation was slower than hoped, traffic continued Wednesday
Angela Lentz is the mother of a fifth-grade student at Wayne School. While she was in the middle of one of the Family Center's activities in the gym -- trying to find a way to drop an egg from a ladder without breaking it -- she said the Family Fun Days gave her a new insight into the services available to her son, 10-year-old Dawann Simmons.
"I got a lot of information on the different programs they have at Sarah Reed," Lentz said. "And I got to meet one of my son's counselors here."
Lentz said she regularly comes to parent-teacher conferences, but it wasn't until this year that she started to see the teachers' perspective on some of her son's problems. She said getting face-to-face time with teaching staff helped her get to that point.
Cook said the event also gives parents the chance to interact with the school in a positive way.

Patricia Skinner Sulpizio's column in today's paper was quite revealing ("Boxer scores a knockout," Sept. 7). It was nothing but a hit piece on Carly Fiorina and told us nothing about Barbara Boxer's accomplishments as senator over her 28-year Senate career, or what she is going to do to help get California out of its fiscal and jobless mess.
Boxer had no ideas either in the debate. This is typical of incumbents, especially Democrats.
Boxer hasn't done anything in her tenure for California. Get the truth out.

Have you heard the news? There's a labor shortage in a number of skilled trades, particularly affecting the welding trade. Despite the rise in welding school enrollment, the number of certified welders available for jobs is at an all-time low. So guess what that means for you? Less competition for a growing pool of jobs—which equates a strong opportunity for you to secure a good job that could grow into a great career.
OK, why is becoming a welder such a great job opportunity? Fortunately, I just happen to have the following list outlining the top five benefits of becoming a welder.
Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Become a Welder
- Welders are always in demand – Regardless of the ups and downs in the economy, buildings and bridges and myriad other structures are still going to be built, refurbished and repaired. Manufacturing and repair of everything from cars and airplanes to bikes and lawnmowers is also going to be a necessity, irrespective of the economic climate. Basically, as a welder you'll always be able to find decent work.
- You can be a welder anywhere – For all the reasons described in benefit #1, the type of services a welder provides are in demand in all 50 states, and just about every country in the world. This affords you the ability, as a welder, to settle wherever you want. Or if you want to travel and want to see the world, you have the ability to go where you please and find work to fund your journey.
- You can earn a solid income, right from the get go – The starting wages for most entry level positions in the welding trade are on par, if not higher than, many jobs for which a recent college graduate would be qualified.
- Welding is a long term career path with growth potential – Welding is a skilled trade that offers welders more than just a job, it's a legitimate career with tons of growth potential. And while the starting paycheck may not be dazzling, as your experience grows, so does your rate of pay, and earning north of a $100k per year is not out of the question.
- Be Your Own Boss - as skilled and experienced welder can work as freelancer, biding on only the type of jobs you find appealing, or for which the price is right. You can also start your own business, maintaining a roster of skilled welders, and contracting them out various projects.
As you can see, the welding trade offers a world of possibilities, making it a highly desirable career choice for anyone looking for their first job, or even a new career.

inga.nakie I've stayed with my husband 2 nights at the end of April 2011. It is a family run b&b on the hill, overlooking the sea. Lovely family and lovely room nicely decorated. Breakfast not much choice with croissants, jam, coffee, but I understand now that's the breakfast in Italy. Worth going down to a beach, that is spoiled due to a difficult access to it. Old people will find difficult going down so many stairs, but others will love the beach. I could add that terrace would do with a sunbed. In the village there is 1 restaurant, they serve fish, but we didn't try as my husband doesn't eat fish. One advice: if u hungry before 7pm, nothing is working yet, so have a good lunch.

Eden, NC -- Deputies found an Eden man with multiple gunshot wounds near his truck on the side of NC 87 Thursday morning.
Donald Wayne Chambers, 32, told Rockingham County deputies that his truck broke down on 87 near Meeks Road. He said he was approached by a man and woman both in vehicles. Chambers said the man shot him four times.
Friday afternoon, deputies released a picture of Rontae Hayes, who they said is the suspect in Chambers' shooting. Hayes faces charges of: Felonious Assault with a Deadly Weapon with Intent to Kill Inflicting Serious Injury.
Officers said he may be in the High Point area.
Chambers told investigators that he was not familiar with the occupants of either vehicle and does not know why the man shot him.
Chambers was taken by helicopter to Wake Forest Baptist Hospital for treatment. Hospital personnel said the he is currently stable.

A southern contraction of the term, "you all."
And mind you, that we southerners get very offended when stupid people think anyone who says it is a hick. Shut the hell up.

Rosie's Diner was a kitschy spot in Rockford, Mich. until it closed in 2011. The dining car remains there today and reportedly sold in an auction in 2012, though it remains closed.
Originally the Silver Dollar Diner in New Jersey, the diner was used in several Bounty commercials featuring Rosie the Waitress. The diner was eventually renamed after the character.
Behind the diner is an abandoned minigolf course, filled mostly with food-themed concrete items. Overgrown and home to a few baby snakes slithering about, the course remains mostly in tact.

Stress Busters
Be realistic in what you can and cannot do. Overambitious goals are a frequent cause of stress
Get adequate sleep. Try to establish a regular hour for bedtime.
Avoid hurrying and worry.
Control your emotions. Decide if the circumstances are worth getting stressed over. Don't let petty problems get the best of you.
Learn to love people more than things. Seek out and spend time with people whose company you enjoy.
Don't rely on alcohol or drugs to cope with a problem.
Don't keep feelings to yourself. Identify fears and talk them over with others. Stick to saying what you feel. Avoid focusing on what the other person is doing. Think "I feel angry", rather than "You make me angry".
Make decisions even though they may turn out to be wrong. Compromise as often as possible as this will give you some control over the situation.
Try to follow routines. Avoid disorganization and disruption.
Develop a sense of humor, especially when there is tension. This will help to prevent you from taking things too seriuosly.
Physical exercise without overdoing it works wonders in helping reduce stress.

Culture Shots: Lewd Facebook pics worth millions, and Van Gogh's letters
Laurence Mackin
HERE IS an ambitious and odd art project that could build into something much more substantial than the sum of its part. The Core project is looking for one video entry for each country from around the world to build a single work of art that will be broadcast globally.
It was devised by Irish artist Matthew Nevin, the co-curator of Mart Group. The idea is that 200-odd individuals will be chosen from around the world. They will be placed in front of a camera, and handed a question that they have two minutes to answer. It's an interesting idea that could work out brilliantly or crash and burn like a half-baked viral ad. Watch this space.
ANOTHER ARTISTIC idea that is well worth checking out is the 24 Hour Play Project at the Project Arts Centre in Dublin. Six playwrights, six directors, and a cast of more than 20 will have 24 hours to write, rehearse and perform six plays. The event, in aid of Dublin Youth Theatre, will be anything but amateur, with the likes of Gary Duggan, Deirdre Kinahan, Pauline McLynn, Paul Meade, Elaine Murphy, Tom Swift, Veronica Coburn, Wayne Jordan, Annie Ryan, Alan Stanford, Willie White, Amy Conroy, Derbhla Crotty, Peter Daly, Maeve Fitzgerald, Philip Judge, Louis Lovett, Aonghus Óg McNally, Rory Nolan, Mark O'Halloran, Hilary O'Shaughnessy, Paul Reid, Karl Shiels, Don Wycherley and more involved – and they've roped in New York's 24 Hour Company to get the show on the road. Creative chaos ahoy. It takes place on February 19th.
THE FACEBOOK IPO is set to make many millionaires in the coming months, but artist David Choe might be the most unlikely. He was employed by the company to paint sexually explicit murals at its head office in 2005 (your office doesn't have some? How uncool.) Choe got paid in shares rather than cash, which at the time might have seemed like a typical fob-the-artist-off move by the fledging company. Now, though, Choe could make up to $200 million for his shares – making his murals (a sample of which are below) some of the most expensive works of art today, albeit in a very convoluted way.
IT MIGHT not be in the millions, but the Sky Arts bursary could make a massive difference to any Irish artist. It is offering five young artists £30,000 each to fund their work for a year. It's across all artforms, be it dance, theatre, music or modern interpretative mala sculpting, and the winners will also get mentoring. There are 18 days left on the current funding round, so click here for more information on how to get an application in.
HERE IS something very special indeed. The Vincent Van Gogh Letters Project is a remarkable resource. It contains all Van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo, and to the artists Paul Gauguin and Emile Bernard, and much more besides. Many are richly illustrated and teem with information and insight. The book edition contains more than 4,300 illustrations, comes in six hardback volumes, and was designed by Wim Crouwel, one of the world's best book designers. If you don't have the £450 that Thames and Hudson are asking for it, you can search through the archive online here. An astonishing art history archive, that is freely available? It's what the internet was built for. Well, that and amusing cat videos.
ONE FOR all the actors out there: if you haven't read the interview with Brad Pitt from last week's Guardian, it's well worth checking out. Short on celebrity, with little scandal, it reads more like an on-the-money analysis of his own performances throughout his career. Refreshing honesty.
THIS ISa typically punchy, riveting bit of short fiction by Allegra Goodman in the New Yorker magazine. Barely a word is wasted.
AND FINALLY: sometimes you watch music videos and think, that must have cost an awful lot of money. Secondly, you think, these people have way too much time on their hands to be devising nonsense like this, but I'm glad they are out there doing it. This video, from – who else? – OK Go, triggers all of these impulses. 1,000 instrument. Two miles of desert. Some not very subtle car product placement. Huzzah.

Seekers of Happiness
aka Birobidzhan, A Greater Promise

Public Exhibition Format: Beta
During the late 1920s, many impoverished Jews searching for a better life made their way to Birobidzhan, the Soviet Jewish Autonomous Region on the Chinese border. This melodrama tells the story of a Jewish family's immigration to Birobidzhan and their experiences as settlers on a collective farm in the area.
While the family encounters hardships in adjusting to this new way of life (including son-in-law Pinya's greedy, misguided search for gold) their search for assimilation is ultimately shown as positive. While the film is essentially a Soviet propaganda piece emphasizing the utopian dream of Birobidzhan as a socialist Jewish homeland, the reality of the area was harsh and inhospitable.

Curricula for Youth
A wide range of curricula are being used to involve youth in violence prevention. Many will work in a variety of settings such as clubs, community projects, or classrooms. Young people learn leadership and healthy relationship skills, while also exploring the roots of violence within their relationships, families and communities.
Involve youth in violence prevention
Primary PreventionPrimary prevention curricula for youth may encourage classroom participation or encourage developing skills to make youth the leaders. Such programs works best when done through regular and frequent contact within a community and school.
- Youth participation may mean joining a club or project with an adult as the facilitator.
- Youth leadership means placing teens or young adults in a position of authority to use and develop their knowledge, skills and experience to create change in their school and/or community.
- In order to preserve youth leadership, the role of adults is to assist with resources (such as meeting space, transportation, funding) and to act as role models.
Secondary and Tertiary PreventionOther programs address dating violence as it happens. Curricula content teaches youth and young adults important skills, such as how to watch out for dating violence and ways to find help for themselves and others.
- Work to change violent attitudes and behaviors on an as-needed basis.
- Recognize that youth and young adults often experience different forms of violence in their dating relationships.
PCADV's Curriculum Reviews
PCADV based the reviews on the growing body of evidence-based research about prevention work. In particular, the Nine Principles of Prevention were used to create an internal tool. This tool helped reviewers assess the effectiveness of the curricula, materials or campaigns listed below.
As a result, the reviews may offer some suggestions to broaden the impact. It is highly recommended that advocates review a number of curricula. This will help make sure a well-rounded prevention program is used that meets the needs of a community. Advocates should attempt to include as many of the nine principles as possible for each program offered.

Give guests the first taste of your Arabian night themed party by sending invitations featuring passports and pyramids. When guests arrive to your party, welcome them with an Arabian banner donning the same iconic images from Egyptian culture. Inside the event, decorate with Arabian theme party decorations like a flying carpet, camel standee, and exotic metallic palm trees. Don't let guests leave empty-handed and offer genie lamps on the way out to make a perfect keepsake from an exciting Arabian night that took place close to home.
Use a large pyramid banner as the focal point of the night. Hang it in the center of the room and use gossamer and balloons as accents along the edges. Customize it to highlight the name of your event. Use a smaller version of the same sign or create a new design and hang it as a backdrop for photo ops. Drape fabric or poly vinyl as the background and hang the banner above it. Surround the sign with an Arabian Paradise Column or peacock standee to create a photo effect guests won't soon forget.

The British are proud of defeating many underage soldiers under harsh dictatorship. The only good thing that came out of that was that some lads from the navy sang a Monty Python song on a helipad while their ship sank and they waited for rescue. And even that is exaggerated, some people claim they were on the ship as it was sinking, and they were singing while going down, like that band scene in the Titanic. I got off topic a bit but yeah.

It's sad how much people here hate England because of an unnecesary war, forced by some crazy dictators.
