Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
My son just came into a size 2 in regular shoes. This website says to order street size and so we ordered a size 2. We could not even get his foot in this shoe!
Age: 30-39
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
I bought them for my 6 year old twin boys who just started tap class. They fit well and seem sturdy. We went up 1/2 size from their street shoe size so that they would be able to wear them for longer. My boys have narrow feet, so if your kids have wide feet you may need to try these on before you buy. That is my suggestion, that you go to a local dance store to try these on, then buy from discount dance!
The shoe came in perfect condition and was just what I ordered. I purchased them a 1/2 size larger than my child gym shoes and still had to wear thin socks/dress socks with them. It may be just my child because he has one foot a 1/2 size bigger than the other. We had one gym sock on and one dress sock. That's why I put it in the middle of run small and true to size for my review of the size. Can't tell you if it's comfortable because I didn't wear them. I can say he hasn't made any complaints himself. He's only worn them once thus far but I'll check back in to update the durability section.
I have to say this shoe was perfect for my 4 yr old dancer in her combo classes. They are more durable and held up better than the patent leather ones she started with. The shoe is more supportive for the foot and gives the young dancer better control when learning tap combinations. Now that she is joining to the competition team, they require a tap shoe with the taps screwed into the shoe as opposed to riveted onto the shoe like this shoe. Now that we have to say good bye to this shoe and hello to a more expensive one, I would recommend this shoe for beginners of all ages.
The reason I'm giving these tap shoes only 3 stars is because they tend to slip off your feet. I thought it was just me experiencing that but my daughter has the same problem even though I bought her a 1/2 size smaller. The only great thing about this tap shoe is that it is really comfortable.
I am 10 and I would NEVER EVER use another type of tap shoe! They are comfortable, I only wear them once a week. But I must warn you, that after dancing in them for a few weeks, they get a bit worn out!
Perfect!!! My daughter is happy as can be, because the shoes fit her great and are so comfortable, that ". . . dancing is awesome in them . . ." she said. We couldn't be happier with them, so we give 5 stars!!!

There was a Nike commercial a few years ago that told us that "the roads are always open"; however, any seasoned runner will tell you that running five miles when you don't know where you're going feels interminably long compared to running a five-mile loop you've been doing for years. Perhaps you have had this experience when running in an unfamiliar territory while on vacation. One of the best ways to make running easier on yourself is to establish a few 'go-to' routes. I suggest having more than one course for most of the distances (i.e. multiple 4-5 mile routes, 8-9 mile routes, etc.).
A favorite fictional novel among college distance runners called "Once a Runner", sums this up nicely, "… had they been less familiar with the course they would have had the impression they had already come a very long way, a notion that they suppressed neatly and automatically. Little tricks of the mind were important to them. They knew that it was psychologically easier to run a familiar course than a new one, so the seldom went out exploring for changes of scenery." p. 158
How to Find & Measure Your Routes
1) Navigate your area quickly using the Internet. Two sites every runner should have bookmarked on their computer are: www.mapmyrun.com & www.usatf.org/routes
You may be pleasantly surprised to find that other running enthusiasts have already chalked up some great courses in your neck of the woods. If you design a good 5K or 10K loop, consider setting it as a 'public' course.
2) Use Google-Maps! This is an underrated resource for finding regional parks and trails. Regional parks typically have fantastic websites complete with trail maps and nature guides. Check out the National Park Service site for Valley Forge National Historic park featured below.
3) Talk to local runners! One of my favorite runs in my hometown was shown to me six years ago by a runner who had competed at a local high school and college in the area.
"The Railroad"
On that note, my personal all-time favorite 'go-to' run is an 8-mile loop at Valley Forge Park called "The Railroad", because some of its trails are found alongside train tracks. It's funny how little it takes for a course to acquire a prosaic name; my college team named one of our common routes" Kansas", because you spend upwards to two minutes running by cornfields.
I consider myself quite lucky to live near Valley Forge. Marcus O'Sullivan, the Men's Cross Country & Track coach at Villanova University, says that Valley Forge is a great place to train for many reasons: "Thanks to the extensive trails, you can do a 15-20 mile long run there—all on soft surfaces without running the same place twice. With the large groups we sometimes train in, and the high mileage we do, running on the roads can be dangerous and tough on the body. Valley Forge is an ideal place to get away from that."
Map out your favorite run via 'mapmyrun.com' and then share it with us on our facebook page!

Lee Bennett, one of the coaches of the famed Cannon Street All-Stars Little League baseball team, died Wednesday.
Charleston has lost a giant, said Gus Holt, historian of the team, which was part of the first black Little League in South Carolina.
He left a lasting impression on kids in the Charleston peninsula, both on the East Side and the West Side.
Holt said Bennett was the last surviving coach of the Cannon Street All-Stars, who in 1955 won their way into the city playoffs.
They were denied postseason competition when white teams refused to play them.
The Cannon Street All-Stars were invited to the 1955 Little League World Series, but only as spectators. Their story became a touchstone in the struggle for civil rights.
Holt said Bennett was one of the charter coaches of the Little League program, and used to coach on a baseball field that stood where the South Carolina Aquarium is now located.
But his influence went beyond baseball, Holt said.
A lot of his kids went on to accomplish great things, Holt said.
He taught carpentry and upholstery at the Boys and Girls Club for many years. He worked hard in his church, in the schools and in the community. He was a giant.

Primera Police Chief Joe Rodriguez is accused of sending porn to a constable, according to valleycentral.com.
The constable, Robert Lopez, filed a harassment report after receiving a series of images of a pornographic material featuring a transgendered woman through text message from Rodriguez on his government-issued phone. Rodriguez says he meant to send the images to a cousin and inadvertently sent them to Lopez instead.
The two men will be running against each other for the constable position in 2012. Each claim the other is attempting to discredit their reputation for political reasons.
Lopez says Rodriguez has a history of inappropriate use of government technology. In 2007 Rodriguez was terminated from a local school district after allegedly searching for adult web content from the school's computers. Lopez said he believes Rodriguez was attempting to make him look bad if his government phone records were ever opened through an open records request.
You can see each of the men defend themselves in this newscast, as well as a portion of one of the images sent here:

Cost to be reduced by $50 next week
Nintendo will cut the price of its Wii by $50 next week, hoping to re-energize slowing sales of the popular videogame console as the holiday shopping season approaches.
The move, which had been expected for months, follows late-August price reductions for Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3 — price cuts that have already started to boost sales of the devices.
The Wii will sell for $199, instead of the current $249, starting Sept. 27, according to early looks at circulars set to be distributed by Best Buy and Toys R Us and remarks from other major retailers.
The new price should help keep the Wii the bestselling gaming console on the market until Nintendo rolls out an HD version of the device, which game publishers say is in the works for 2011.

Hundreds of Egyptian protestors, many of them Coptic Christians, rallied in front of the White House Thursday, outraged over President Barack Obama's support of the Muslim Brotherhood.
"Don't support terrorists!" protestor Hale Salem said. "Don't support terrorists! Please, Mr. Obama I voted for you -- don't support terrorists."
"He's asking us as Egyptians to leave the terrorists in Egypt alone? To kill us, to kill our people? It's not gonna happen," another protestor declared.
Muslims were also present, voicing their opposition against the Brotherhood.
"I'm a Muslim," demonstrator Mina Khalifa said. "It's not a Christian thing. It's an Egyptian thing."
Another Muslim protestor, Suzanne Elnahal, said, "They are terrorists; they have done so many problems in Egypt."
Meanwhile, there are new concerns the old regime is making a comeback, as former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was released from prison and flown to a military hospital. He is now under house arrest.
But protestors say Mubarak wasn't as bad as ousted President Mohammed Morsi.
"He's not really a good guy, but he's not at least a terrorist," anti-Brotherhood demonstrator Layla Sedhom said. "But Mohammed Morsi is a terrorist. He belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood."
The protestors say the Egyptian military is needed to keep order.
"They protect us from (the) Muslim Brotherhood," Madline Mansour, a Coptic Christian, said. "Muslim Brotherhood kill us, kill all Christian people. Morsi is a terrorist. He belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood."
Those at the rally say the Brotherhood has burned dozens of Christian churches, businesses, and more.
"For the Coptic Christians, they burn their houses. They're targeting them," one protestor said.
The protestors are also angered by Western media coverage of the situation in Egypt. They rallied against the Washington Post, accusing both the newspaper and Obama of being biased in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood.
"So the Obama administration helps the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt; that's not right," anti-Brotherhood protestor Sawers Kamel said. "That has a lot of question marks. Why? Why?"
Mubarak Out, Is Egypt Returning to Old Regime?
Egypt's Mubarak Release Could Fuel More Unrest

Despite scoring four first-half goals and receiving a hat trick from Austyn Cuneo, Eastern showed little excitement on the sidelines in its 6-3 victory Tuesday at Camden Catholic in a nonleague field hockey game.
Eastern, the nation's top-ranked team according to topofthenet.com, improved to 19-0 this season but allowed more than one goal for the first time in 16 games against South Jersey opponents.
"Catholic played a good, hard game," Eastern coach Danyle Heilig said. "It showed my team that, when they want to play, they can do great things. But I surely don't think we put 60 minutes together.

The woman, Aida Guzman of Chester, was "injured and humiliated at the hands of someone who knows better, or should have known better," said Nutter, who said he watched the YouTube video 20 times.
"Every time I look at it, I am appalled, I am sickened, and I am ashamed on behalf of the good men and women of the Philadelphia Police Department," the mayor said at a news conference, flanked by Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey and other city officials.

While Niccolň Machiavelli is universally recognized as one of the founders of the Western political thinking, the aim of the international workshop, organized by the research project "Beyond the Holy War" in the year of the fifth centenary of the Prince, is to explore the less known connections among Machiavelli's work - written in a period of successful Ottoman expansion in the Mediterranean region -, the Muslim world, and the East. The languages of the workshop are English and Italian.
We particularly invite contributions related to one or more of the following areas:
1. Machiavelli's vision about political, administrative, military, and religious aspects of the Muslim world and the East, including its origin and reference, as well as similar contemporary examples, not only from the European context;
2. The reception and re-use of Machiavellian themes by European authors, who formulated opinions and images about Islam and the East, from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment;
3. A comparative study of the recovery of Machiavelli in relation with Islam and the East on the one hand, and the Americas in the Age of Exploration on the other hand;
4. The possible circulation of Machiavelli's writings in North Africa, Middle East and Asia in the early modern period, both among local learned men and travelers.
Please send your proposals, 250 words maximum, and a brief CV with your contact information to Giuseppe Marcocci (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The deadline for proposals is 20 February 2013. Responses will be sent by e-mail within 28 February 2013.
While we are not able to offer support to cover travel expenses, the Scuola Normale will provide accommodation for the workshop and will cover all meals.

Man accused of stealing copper wire from railroad
Matthew Cormier charged with criminal mischief, theft
Manchester police said a man is facing charges after he was caught in possession of pieces of copper wire that were cut from a railroad crossing.
Police said at about 7 p.m. Tuesday, officers were called to the railroad tracks in the area of North Commercial and Canal Streets after a suspicious man was reported in the area.
When police arrived, they said they found the man walking on the railroad tracks and also noticed that the railroad crossing arms were in the down position across North Commercial Street.
Manchester police said the man, identified as Matthew Cormier, 28, of Manchester, was carrying a backpack that contained several tools and cut pieces of copper wiring.
A Pan Am Railways field engineer was called to the scene and identified the wires in Cormier's possession as the same wire that had been cut from a railroad relay switch. Police said the cut wires caused the crossing arms to go down, which impacted traffic signals and caused a minor traffic backup.
Cormier was arrested and charged with criminal mischief and theft, police said.

CLEMSON - The NCAA Football Rules Committee convened this week in Indianapolis, proposing two significant rules changes announced Wednesday evening.
The first one was expected, and will satisfy football fans and officials everywhere. The NCAA initiated new targeting consequences (including automatic ejections) for the 2013 season; but in circumstances when video review overturned ejections, the 15-yard personal foul would still be enforced.
Under the NCAA's latest proposal, the personal foul would also be wiped out if video review overturned the call - provided there were no other personal fouls on the play (i.e. roughing the passer.)
In games without the use of on-field instant replay - mainly at the FCS, Division II and III levels - the committee is suggesting an option to allow referees to review targeting calls at halftime. Overturned calls would permit ejected players to return to action for the second half.
The other major rule change proposal addresses the new wave of hurry-up offenses. The committee is recommending allowing defensive substitutions within the first 10 seconds of a 40-second play clock, unless it's in the final two minutes of either half.
"This rules change is being made to enhance student-athlete safety by guaranteeing a small window for both teams to substitute," Air Force coach and committee chair Troy Calhoun said in the NCAA's statement. "As the average number of plays per game has increased, this issue has been discussed with greater frequency by the committee in recent years, and we felt it was time to act in the interests of protecting our student-athletes."
Under the suggested rule, if the offense snaps the ball with 30 or more seconds left on the play clock, it would be penalized five yards for delay-of-game. Currently, the defense is only assured a chance to substitute when at least one offensive player does so.
The NCAA's statement read on: "The committee believes 10 seconds provides sufficient time for defensive player substitutions without inhibiting the ability of an offense to play at a fast pace. Research indicated that teams with fast-paced, no-huddle offenses rarely snap the ball with 30 seconds or more on the play clock."
The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel must approve any proposals. That committee will meet March 6.

Your doctor and/or nurse will probably:
1. Check your child's weight, length, and head circumference and plot the measurements on the growth charts.
2. Ask questions, address concerns, and provide guidance about how your toddler is:
Eating. By 15 months, most toddlers are eating a greater variety of foods and are better able to handle textures. Offer your toddler three meals and two or three scheduled nutritious snacks a day. Growth slows down in the second year of life so don't be surprised if your child's appetite has decreased. Your child can drink from a cup and may be able to use a spoon but probably prefers to finger-feed.
Pooping. As you introduce new foods and whole milk, the appearance and frequency of your child's poopy diapers may change from day to day. Let your doctor know if your child has diarrhea, is constipated, or has poop that's hard to pass.
Sleeping. There's a wide range of normal, but generally toddlers need about 12 to 14 hours of sleep a day, including one or two daytime naps.
Developing. By 15 months, it's common for many toddlers to:
3. Perform a physical exam with your child undressed while you are present. This will include an eye exam, tooth exam, listening to the heart and lungs, and paying attention to your toddler's motor skills and behavior.
4. Update immunizations. Immunizations can protect kids from serious childhood illnesses, so it's important that your child receive them on time. Immunization schedules can vary from office to office, so talk to your doctor about what to expect.
Here are some things to keep in mind until your next routine visit at 18 months:
These checkup sheets are consistent with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)/Bright Futures guidelines.

WirelessDevNet.com Press Release
Perth, Australia, April 7, 2014 – SpeedCast, one of the world's major international satellite telecommunications service providers, will host the first product demo of its latest development - the ReadyCONNECT™TA12 solution at this year's APPEA Conference and Exhibition. The demonstration will give IT professionals in the oil & gas industry a chance to learn about the benefits of using the market's latest mobile satellite communications system, and discuss their specific connectivity challenges.
ReadyCONNECT™TA12 is a mobile VSAT solution that combines portability and rapid deployment equipment, providing instant access to internet, wireless and voice applications. The solution is specifically designed for fast temporary or long term deployments, as well as frequent site relocations. Its simplified design enables it to be deployed on site much quicker than was possible before, requires no technical knowledge and can be operated by non-technical personnel.
"Communications and logistics are the most complex challenges that today's oil and gas companies face," said Mark Borgas, SpeedCast's VP of Australia-Pacific. "Exploration teams need to communicate as if remote sites are only extensions to their corporate network and finding a solution compatible with specific network requirements, yet portable and robust enough to suit frequent site relocations, can be a difficult task. ReadyCONNECT™TA12 optimizes the logistics process associated with the relocation of exploration and construction sites, while cost-effectively managing bandwidth and equipment across all locations."
ReadyCONNECT™TA12 is secure and delivers scalable data speeds to meet changing usage requirements, extends wireless coverage of up to 1km and provides a variety of bandwidth options with true broadband speeds and a range of contention ratios from 1:1 to 1:10. Customers have access to SpeedCast's 24/7 support team and an online monitoring portal to ensure optimal operation.
Marc Russo, Managing Director at Australian Camp Services, commented: "Setting up a traditional VSAT service can be difficult and resource-consuming when relocating - dismantling, transporting and installing equipment and often incurs extra time and costs in the logistics chain. Having a communication solution that is quick to deploy, can be up and running in a short lead time and requires no technical staff to operate it would have a significant impact on our business and on the industry."
This launch of ReadyCONNECT™TA12 follows the opening of SpeedCast's new Perth office and further supports its commitment to address the needs of oil, gas and mining customers in the region.
SpeedCast will be exhibiting at the APPEA Conference and Exhibition. If you are attending the event and would like to meet with a spokesperson and see the ReadyCONNECT™TA12, please contact SpeedCast's Marketing Manager for Australia and Pacific, Katia Gryadunova at email@example.com, or call +61 2 9086 2795.

I never really expected that I would home educate my children. In fact, I went to college with plans to teach Music Education in a classroom somewhere. However, we were led to the decision to begin the homeschooling journey back when Gracie, 10, was in kindergarten. I quickly discovered this was gargantuan, crazy world I'd never realized existed! We used a hard drive program (one simple decision) for several years, and we're now transitioning to a different style for a different season. Here are a few of my honest observations & my own determinations:
1. Homeschooling parents can be quite opinionated, often in a good way. :)
I think its because the strength that is required to make this choice longterm is quite intense. I'll never forget how overwhelmed I felt when a hurricane of ideas blew over me from a homeschooling veteran. Knowing that this topic can be divisive, I want to handle it with grace.
My determination: In my next conversation with a homeschooling friend, focus on encouragement & maybe talk about a non-school topic too.
2. There are a million ways to do it.
From "un-schooling" to those who home educate rigorously while adding in even more activities like soccer,drama, music, etc. Everyone's budget of time, energy, & money is prioritized in different ways. We began using Bob Jones hard drive program, then last summer decided to do Classical Conversations with our own math and language arts selections. (If you're wondering, I chose Saxon Math for 2nd and 4th graders and BJU Math for K. We enjoyed the Explode the Code books for K and 2nd and my 4th grader did the Essentials of the English Language program with CC and Writing with Structure and Style from IEW.)
My determination: Remember there are lots of way to do this right & I will take one year at a time.
3. Homeschooling is very rewarding...
At this moment I think a clean house would be very rewarding as well, but I digress... The constant sibling interaction builds priceless bonds between siblings. There are also many opportunities to grow together as friends. "I will treat my brother or sister better than my best friend." <----- 1="" a="" afternoon="" along="" and="" big="" children="" div="" everyone="" families="" for="" here="" hour="" how="" i="" in="" is:="" it="" joy="" little.="" lot="" love="" milestones="" nbsp="" ne="" of="" older="" on="" ones="" our="" quiet="" remember="" reminder="" rewarding="" s="" sentence.="" share="" the="" time="" watching="" way.="" way="" younger="">
My determination: Remember we are better together and embrace the closesness of this season.
4. Homeschooling is really messy.
Think about bringing home everything you used at school when you were a kid in 3rd grade. Pile it on the kitchen table...yes...every single spelling, history, math, and phonics paper. Don't forget the pencils, glue, erasers, crayons! Now bring home all your older brother's stuff too--including the month-old apple core and put it behind the couch for mom to find later...dump everything else on the kitchen table. Baby brother's stuff needs to pile somewhere, so make room! Now pull out your supper fixing mess, and that paperwork you're dealing with for insurance, and the cleaning supplies for the major bathroom cleaning that needs done TODAY.
I'm being a little extreme, I'm sure you realize, but not much. There is "stuff" no matter what schooling you choose. Being organized will help, but there's also the on-going mess of living--everyone, everyday, all day, at home. Ideally, you'll enlist your children to conquer the chaos...but after teaching them all morning, you may find that you're more than happy to let them go play and not ask any more of them. My mind is easily bogged down as I walk through the house seeing all the things I'm ignoring in order to have school at home. On good days I'll make a mental list and tackle it after our school work is done. On the rough days, I'll sigh & sometimes cry & just try to make it till my husband comes home. On real weeks, I plan extra cleaning time on Friday or Saturday & hope most of the house is in good shape by Sunday.
My determination: Remember my Joy is separate from feeling "in control" & do the best I can.
5. Home schooling is hard work.
Its a separate job from wife, mother, housekeeper, yet it coexists with all those roles as well. Think about being a CEO of a company where your employees are your children & babies. You're giving assignments, teaching, helping, reprimanding, encouraging, re-directing back to work, motivating, motivating again & classroom management, of course. In a traditional school setting, there is a measure of structure in the daily routine. At home, you're the person who keeps it all going, flexing with the needs of life, but also prioritizing the discipline that comes from regular routines. Its all YOUR call. Sometimes that feels like a heavy weight to me, honestly. And most every home educating mom has wondered, sometimes many times a week, if they're ruining everyone and everything...and the whole universe! :)
My determination: Remember that God gave me this job & He is teaching me diligence along the way too.
6. Home schooling is full of relational opportunities.
It is a joy to be next to these children everyday as they learn and grow. I love to see the sparkles in their eyes as they grasp something really cool, or share the crazy humor of my wordy, nerdy kids. I thank God that they're healthy and can learn things quickly and as they grow older they're making fascinating connections in their minds--and I get to watch that! And I'm getting to experience all the stages again too--I'm learning more this time around! Its really fun!
The other side of that closeness is "rub"--I mean dissonance, fingernails-on-chalkboard irritation. Put humans together & it will happen. Some of the best advice I ever received in this area came from my friend Charlotte Siems. She said, "Don't homeschool at the expense of relationships." There is so much close parental interaction in this home educating gig, that you can ruin relationships with your children by your negativity, nit-picking, & constant pushing. Its easy to not see the progress they are making, but only see how they aren't "there" yet. Truthfully, I just decided to stop school here two weeks before I had planned because things were becoming too consistently negative. There is a time to push on and a time to stop...pray, is all I can say. It would be just like the Enemy of our souls to try to use our decision to teach our children at home as a wedge to drive between us, causing ginormous (thank you Gracie for that adjective) pain.
My determination: Remember the way up is down and stay humble before the Lord and my family.
7. Homeschooling progress is tricky to measure.
If you grew up in a traditional classroom education, you knew where you were in your class by your grades, and progress was measured by your teacher. Sometimes we're just too close to see objectively our child's strengths and weaknesses. One way I watch for my children's progress is in non-school activities--I see them relating better to other children & adults. They look over at me and catch my eye as they connect an illustration in a sermon to their history lesson, I hear their vocabulary increasing and see their book choices becoming more sophisticated--thank Heavens! (Another post for another day.) I also plan to do standardized testing next year and I'm looking forward to measuring their progress that way.
My determination: Remember that progress will happen if I stick to the daily plan.

--um, what's your personal philosophy of struggle in moral authority?
I believe that once you understand that an injustice is taking place, you have a responsibility to act. And you have a responsibility to analyze it, but you should not engage in so much analysis that you simply become paralyzed by the thinking that, "Boy there's so much to do, and since there's so much to do, and I can't do it all, then I guess I won't do anything." That there's a need to do something to help. And that also you, one should think in terms of a multi-faceted approach to achieving a goal, and not simply one strategy. But, in trying to explain to the public what you're doing when you take action, you should always keep it simple. Figure out what it is, what your goal is, what it is you're attacking, you may use litigation, and that's entirely proper, and it's effective in certain circumstances, you may le- use voting for people, or running for office, or trying to influence people who are in office to make change, and that's entirely appropriate to do. You may even use spiritual appeals to people to do something. And you may engage in direct action, and you have to be willing to engage in direct action, civil disobedience, when it is necessary, and you have to be willing to suffer the consequences. So, I think it's necessary to act against injustice. And I also believe that it's necessary never to compromise with injustice.

9to5 Mac reports that Adobe has just released its Collage and Proto apps for iPad. Collage is for "modern, conceptual moodboards,†and lets you import content from various Adobe Creative Suite applications, including PDFs, PSDs and AI files. You can also upload and access content that is already stored in your free 2GB Adobe Creative Cloud account. Basically, once you've downloaded all the required materials to the app, it enables you to do exactly what it says on the tin, i.e. gives you the right setting and tools, such as different pen types, fonts, and so on, so that you can make a collage of pictures, text, or whatever you fancy. Could be a great way to brainstorm ideas at a meeting, for example.
Proto, the second iPad app released by Adobe today, is designed to enable the user to sketch website and mobile app wireframe layouts with finger strokes on their iPad. The app uses a CSS grid system, WebKit preview, jQuery support and can sync wireframes to Creative Cloud and Dreamweaver CS6.

Big Tex is in recovery. We saw last week a computer animation of Big Tex's hand – still in the design phase, but coming along seemingly fine. He needs those hands for all that waving he's about to do this fall.
The State Fair of Texas' press office has recently kept us updated on Big Tex's progress, even naming the 2013 fair in honor of him since he was burned in a fire last year. But on Tuesday morning, a puzzling behind-the-scenes story written by Texas freelancer Dallas Small proved to us that there is such a thing as too much news about Big Tex's progress.
The story "interviews" Big Tex — who is an inanimate object, and a somewhat sickly one at that (since the fire and all). We're not about to say Big Tex isn't real, but, um, he's a 52-foot statue. Still, the essay quotes Big Tex, who prefers the moniker "Big," another peeve since we are certain that if he were a real person and were to pick his own nickname, it would most certainly be "Tex." Anyway.
According to "Big," some of the highlights of his six decades standing were meeting Elvis and Oprah. Cue the cowboy: "But you know what? Nothing really comes up to the thrill of being honored as The One and Only. That makes Big and the State Fair of Texas both unique. And 'unique' is not a word that Big tosses around lightly. It's special. Very special."
Try to read Big Tex's quote with a thick southern drawl. Still doesn't work.
Now, we get the gesture. But for goshdarn sakes, if "Big" is going to talk on-the-record, give us a little yee-haw, a howdy. And don't make him talk in third person.
There's good news, though. In the essay, we learn that "Big" apparently appreciates the get-well-soon letters he's received. They're making him feel better. OK, you got us: Big Tex is real, and he reads each letter at night before he glugs a cold glass of milk and tucks himself into his very giant bed. Keep sending the letters.

The NFL is trying something new in free agency this year, going with the philosophy of building sidewalks where people walk.
For years, agents for unrestricted free agents and team representatives weren't supposed to negotiate before the official start of free agency. But no one stuck to the conventional path, and deals often were done before officially permissible.
Rather than issue more warnings about staying off the grass, the NFL poured some pavement. Beginning Friday at 10 p.m., teams and agents for players on other teams can begin negotiating, but a deal cannot be signed until Tuesday at 2 p.m.
Teams have been able to negotiate with their own free agents since the end of the season.
"I think it's fair to say that we felt that it was something that would at least bring some organization to what had been a very chaotic process," Bill Polian, current ESPN analyst and former NFL executive, said in a conference call this week. "Agents can talk to clubs, they can go back to the old club with what one would assume would be a bona fide offer or some parameters. They can gauge who is interested and who is not interested.
"But I'm going to be as anxious as you to see if we come out of the box with deals (on Tuesday), or if it serves as a way to sort of set the market before people begin to do deals."
Of course, teams and agents might have violated this rule, too. Front-office staff and coaches from every team — and hundreds of agents — were present last month at the scouting combine. It's naïve to think there wasn't some hanky-panky.
The Cardinals likely won't try to sign players at the top of the market. They are about $8 million under the salary cap of $123 million, and new General Manager Steve Keim's roots are in college scouting.
Keim and new coach Bruce Arians have formulated a plan for free agency, but they obviously aren't going to divulge it. It does include, however, re-signing a few of the team's 12 unrestricted free agents and perhaps adding a quarterback.
The free-agent market is short on quarterbacks. With Matt Moore re-signing with Miami to back up Ryan Tannehill, Brian Hoyer, who started for the Cardinals in the final game of 2012, is among the more attractive.
Hoyer is a restricted free agent. The Cardinals are expected to make a tender offer, which gives them the right of first refusal.
The new three-day window of negotiations applies only to unrestricted free agents, not those who are restricted.
Among their free agents, the Cardinals targeted cornerback Greg Toler and safety Rashad Johnson as priorities. Keim has had discussions with their agents, but there is no indication that they are close to re-signing.
Some rules governing the three-day negotiating period prior to free agency:
Teams are permitted to contact agents and enter into negotiations.
A contract cannot be executed until 2 p.m. on Tuesday.
An unrestricted free agent is not allowed to visit a team, other than his current one; and teams can have no direct contact with the player, other than one on their current roster.
Teams may not discuss or make travel arrangements with unrestricted free agents or their representatives.

In Brief: PUC comes down hard on ride-share drivers and companies
Uber, a ride-sharing company that has been advertising for employees in Erie, is among a group of such companies to be slapped with fines by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.
The PUC has imposed tens of thousands of dollars in fines on ride-share companies Lyft and Uber, and filed new civil complaints against two dozen ride-share drivers for violating state law.
According to court records dated June 5, Lyft has been fined a total of $130,000, and Uber has been fined $95,000.
Uber, which has been looking for drivers in Erie after a March 13 launch in Pittsburgh, was fined $1,000 per day from its launch, as well as an additional $1,000 each for 11 trips taken by the PUC enforcement officer.
"It's an unfortunate situation that this is the avenue that we are forced to take to get the overall company to comply," said PUC spokeswoman Jennifer Kocher. She said the commission's main concern was the safety of the public. "They can say they do background checks and that they inspect the vehicles for safety, but we have no proof of that."
United to change how travelers earn rewards
Travelers who fly the most and pay the most will soon earn more miles on United Airlines' frequent-flier program.
The change will help elite members of United's loyalty program -- those who fly at least 25,000 miles a year on the airline. It will be far less rewarding for people who currently rack up miles by taking occasional long flights at bargain fares.
United joins Delta, Southwest and JetBlue in basing awards on money spent, not miles flown.
U.S. businesses ramped up job searches in April
U.S. companies advertised more jobs in April than in any month in six and a half years, suggesting that a recent pickup in hiring should continue.
The Labor Department says employers posted nearly 4.5 million jobs, up strongly from 4.2 million in March. It's the largest number of job listings since September 2007.
Almost all the gain occurred in the private sector, while government job openings rose slightly.

Monday was a picture-perfect spring day in Vandalia. The daffodils were in bloom and the robins were busy gathering materials for their nests. I just can't wait to get out in my flower gardens to clear away the remains of last year and uncover the new growth.
University of Illinois football coach Ron Zook shared his faith, his coaching philosophy and his passion for helping his players reach their potential as he addressed a crowd of nearly 400 at last Thursday's Fellowship of Christian Athletes banquet in Greenville.
We've all heard the saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Who is the knucklehead that came up with that saying? The reality is, our world can be shaped by our words.
In fact, look at what the Bible says in Proverbs 18:21: "The tongue has the power of life and death…"
The Sears store in Vandalia recently donated 2 percent of its sales for a day to FAYCO Enterprises Inc. The contribution from the Sears Holding Corp. will be used to assist in client activities at FAYCO Enterprises Inc., a local sheltered workshop. Pictured, from left, are Randy Ruholl, local Sears store owner; store employee Lindsy Pruett; and Bob Lindberg, FAYCO executive director.
Metzger named top loan officer by LLCU
Tim Metzger, manager of Land of Lincoln Credit Union in Vandalia has been honored by the credit union.
He was one of three Land of Lincoln employees given High Achiever performance awards for work done in 2010.
Metzger was named top loan officer and employee of the year. Joining him in being recognized by the company were Bethanie Glan (top teller) and Will Nave (top back-office employee).
Connie Edgar, a licensed massage therapist and owner of Serenity Spa of Vandalia, recently announced the addition of two new staff members at the spa.
The first newcomer is Vandalia native Ashley Metzger Miller, a licensed esthetician, who was trained at New Image Technical Center in O'Fallon. Though she's been doing facials for two years, she has been at Serenity since late November.
She uses Bio Elements skin care products to do facials and waxing.
The Heartland Lions Eye Banks recently recognized Fayette County Hospital for its efforts to promote eye donations.
Because of the hospital staff's efforts, three eye donors provided tissue for three sight-saving corneal transplants during 2010.
Last year, more than 2,800 people suffering from an ocular disease, disorder or injury received a cornea transplant through Heartland Lions Eye Banks.
Those donations are being praised during March, which is National Eye Donor Month.
Each year, the Vandalia Rotary Club selects two Vandalia High School sophomores to receive the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) to attend the weekend RYLA Camp and participate in the leadership and outdoors adventure team-building program.
The RYLA sophomore weekend is the first part of a three-year Rotary youth leadership program. RYLA winners will be invited to return for additional leadership training in their junior and senior years.
Several hundred people attended the recent Home and Garden Show, sponsored by the Vandalia Chamber of Commerce, in cooperation with The Leader-Union and WPMB-WKRV radio. In the first photo, Mark Abendroth of R.P. Lumber (right) and one of his window suppliers talk with Diane Torbeck. In the second photo, chamber President Dana Whiteman presents an iPad to Kelvin Stewart of Hillsboro after his name was selected in a drawing for the device. In the third photo, Brian Smith of Behrends Sales & Service of Vandalia shows a customer the mowers he had on display at the show.

A poke in the eye...
for the RIAA!
Good ol' pr0n to the rescue again. (Possibly a little less of the 'good' in this case!!)
A US federal judge has shot down one of the Recording Industry Ass. of America's key arguments in its brave pursuit of students, idiots and grandmothers it accuses of sharing music over peer-to-peer networks. In an order in the case of the Atlantic vs Howell in Arizona yesterday, Judge Neil Wake said that the RIAA's claim that …
for the RIAA!
Good ol' pr0n to the rescue again. (Possibly a little less of the 'good' in this case!!)
Does anyone still use that Limewire/Kazaa crud? I thought it was only moronic 8 year olds who used it. There was only ever one reason for using Kazaa and that was for getting knocked off stuff, that was back in 2000! I think the rest of the world moved to using torrents for our nefarious purposes, several years ago.
Listen pillocks, if you want do something slightly naughty like little Chardonay wants the latest Britney album, get your computer savvy mate to put Peerguardian on your PC, then at least you will be slightly better off, not perfect, but a stab in the right direction at keeping you out of clinky for a few megs of knocked of crap!
Um, so if I rent a DVD from Blockbusters, and then copy the DVD on my PC, is Blockbusters guilty because it made the film available to be copied?
So can I be prosecuted if I throw an old cd in the Bin? After all anyone could get it and copy it.
although in the UK he best hope that porn didn't look like a person involved may of been at risk of anything bad... He'd go from a fine to a 3 year jail sentance + sex offenders register.
Noticed that porn 'came' to the rescue here....although I wouldn't get too 'excited' since the RIAA are in everyone's pocket who has influence.
Although, if it was a little too kinky, in the UK at least they could still be screwed by the criminal law.
The RIAA could produce logs showing that they had in fact downloaded copyrighted files from someone's computer. Not sure how far that would get them, since they already own the music. Also a bit like suing someone for letting you steal things from them.
I thought people were innocent until proven guilty. so if they are guilty of infringement... where's the proof? The RIAA thinks this appeal flies in the face of precedence... umm... they're seriously smoking some bad dope. To find someone guilty, you have to prove their guilt. This facet of the law has be reinforced, not only in the US's legal system, but in the UK's legal system that the US is based on. Now, that's what... well over 1000 years of law precedence? (not that it's always followed depending on who pays off who, but that's another story)
I though the RIAA would have to have some kind of evidence to take these cases to court.
I do not understand how a printoff of a list of files and ip addresses proves someone is guilty? Look how many times the RIAA has got it wrong ..... their piece of paper has an ip address and a filename on it, yet somehow they end up trying to drag unborn children, dead grandma's and Armish people with no electricity to court claiming that they have proof.
I could write down the ip address of the register's webserver, write the name of one of my software packages next to it, stick a time and date on it and then try and sue the register saying I have proof that they have been illegally distributing my software to thousands of people.
I am glad that one judge has enough sense to realise that the RIAA have not actually produced any proof that anything has been distributed.
Even if the RIAA did download files from the defendant, how on earth could they prove that they did actually come from the defendant other than by carrying out a forensic examination of the defendants computer
is this: did the Judge change his mind because he realized he was wrong, or did he change it because of another reason?
In the initial instance, the couple defended themselves. Reasons could include costs, etc.. whatever they were - they stood for themselves.
Once a legal "informed" representative comes forward for them, notice how the Judge backs down off his initial judgment.. in the face of convention, overturns the "make available" decision.
I think we're starting to get the picture here. At least, I certainly am.
I still use Limewire quite a bit... as for torrents, my ISP is Comcast (it's all I can get unless I want to go back to dial-up!) and so my torrents will download for a minute or so and then stop for two hours. Then they'll start back up for a couple of minutes, then... well you get the picture!
Make books (covered by copyright!) available. Most have a copy machine (usually for huge amounts per page) as well. Combine the two and...
So, we close all the libraries. Wonderful thought! Next we burn books, I assume?
Personally the amateur isnt what I go for. I usually go for the stuff that would get me a fine and a 3 year sentenced in the UK (you know BDSM, DV/DA) that sorta stuff.
/mines the one with the Orgasmarator in the pocket.
@Jason Harvey
"I thought people were innocent until proven guilty"
You're thinking of a criminal case. In a civil case, there just has to be a "preponderance of evidence". The plaintiff doesn't need to prove guilt, just show that it's likely the defendant is guilty. It's up to the defendant to prove they're innocent by refuting the evidence.
That's why "making available" is critical. Without that, there is no evidence that the defendants distributed the files to anyone.
"The RIAA could produce logs showing that they had in fact downloaded copyrighted files from someone's computer"
That's exactly what they are doing via MediaSentry. The EFF argues that since MediaSentry is an authorized agent of the RIAA, the downloads don't count, that there is no proof that *others* have downloaded the music. Hence the "making available" argument.
assuming the RIAA are right in the "making available" argument, the proof would be that they were, er, making the files available :P This is trivial to check in any current popular P2P system. Fortunately it would appear there argument is flawed :)
@Stu Reeves
"So can I be prosecuted if I throw an old cd in the Bin? After all anyone could get it and copy it."
There's a difference between getting prosecuted and being sued by the RIAA. The RIAA can't have you arrested for throwing out the CD, but they could sue you. Anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Of course, it would probably be dismissed, but you never know. Especially if it's a promotional CD, the studios claim those are still their property and throwing it out constitutes "illegal distribution".
I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove a thing!
How sad for the RIAA, being upset in their destruction of people's privacy. I wish these scrotes all the misery their coked-up lives CAN'T handle for ILLEGALLY ruining my computer and many others searching for downloads. It seems due process only counts if THEY do it to you.
Strikes me as more like watching a DVD and leaving the curtains and windows open so that any passerby could watch and listen as well. And if they have their own camcorder!
But I thought some of these stuff is so insecure that it would be like leaving the DVD player too close to the window and having some toerag sticking his own DVD in it for his mates to watch while you are out shopping.
Given that the defendants' defence is that they weren't trying to distribute music, just some home-made p0rn, might it not have been better just to pay the fine?!
Only if you're afraid of puritans attacking you.

College Grads Gain on M.B.A.s
For some companies, a bachelor's degree means cheaper, more malleable workers. And that's just what they need right now.
Consulting firm Booz & Co. likes its recruits young.
More in Business Education
- College Grads Are Gaining on M.B.A.s
- B-school Applicants Turn to Admissions Consultants
- Is an M.B.A. Worth the Time and Expense?
- When Two Degrees Might Be Better Than One
Plus, read more about MBA rankings and executive education programs at the WSJ's business school coverage, plus read the complete2011 Business Education report.
The company is shifting its hiring strategy, filling its ranks with more undergraduates instead of focusing on M.B.A.s. It plans to hire at a ratio of 60% M.B.A.s to 40% undergraduates—with business, engineering and even history degrees—this year, compared with its prior 70%-to-30% breakdown.
Booz isn't alone in beefing up its undergraduate hiring. A number of companies in finance, consulting and consumer products are bypassing M.B.A. candidates when recruiting new employees for management-track positions.
Some companies are hiring less-experienced candidates for lower-level positions with the expectation they'll work their way up the ranks, while eliminating positions originally designated for new M.B.A.s. Other businesses are giving undergraduates the exact jobs and salaries that used to go to M.B.A.s. And still others are keeping the same number of M.B.A. spots, but if they need to expand they do so with undergraduate-degree holders, giving them lesser titles and lower salaries than an M.B.A. would have received.
Though not official company policy for most organizations, the shift does raise a question: If an M.B.A. is no longer the required entry ticket for the executive suite—or even the ground floor—is it worth getting one?
Of course, the M.B.A. does still count for something, at least in some circles. The degree can add credibility when looking to change jobs or industries, and M.B.A. programs with strong alumni networks also can provide an "in" for otherwise tough-to-enter industries like private equity and asset management. The three extra letters can mean extra earnings, too, especially at companies that have a salary range—rather than a set figure—for various positions.
Still, for students seeking jobs today, the short-term benefits of forgoing an M.B.A. may well appear appealing.
Attractive Option
The financial crisis has played a major role in shifting corporate recruiting strategy, according to schools and companies. As companies have become skittish about spending and have looked to trim costs, they have begun opting for younger employees who, in many instances, are just as talented as M.B.A graduates but willing to work for about half the salary that M.B.A.s normally earn.
Most companies won't explicitly say they're changing strategy to save money, but schools say that undergraduates' lower salary expectations likely make them appealing. The expected average starting salary for new bachelor's degree hires was $42,859 for the class of 2011, according to the Graduate Management Admission Council—or about half the $85,854 figure for new M.B.A.s.
"Many firms do, for the first time, get turned on to the fact that some of these business-school undergraduates are just as [capable] as a first-year M.B.A. graduate," says Megan Houlker, director of the undergraduate center for career development at Babson College, Wellesley, Mass.
(She did note that as the economy improves, some companies may boost M.B.A. hiring.)
In addition to the financial consideration, some companies say they are shifting their focus to undergraduates because they can be easier to train, with no bad habits formed at other organizations.
Jacqueline Wilbur, executive director for master's programs at the MIT Sloan School of Management, in Cambridge, Mass., says companies have been telling her they like the "malleability" of undergraduates.
'Very Shapeable'
Mr. Alba of Booz says his company finds undergraduates to be particularly attractive because they are "very shapeable." The company still invests heavily in training, but it gets to start with a clean slate, he says.
"You have the ability to take an undergraduate and really mold them into the type of employee you want them to be," says Chirag Saraiya, a principal in Chicago for Training the Street Inc., a New York-based company that conducts financial training sessions for banks and business schools.
Administrators at many M.B.A. programs are loath to say their students are being replaced by younger, less-experienced applicants, but many acknowledge that the landscape for M.B.A. jobs has changed—and not for the better.
Fewer Opportunities
Since the financial crisis, "the sheer number of M.B.A. opportunities has not returned," says Nicole Hall, president of the M.B.A. Career Services Council, Tampa, Fla., an industry group for career-services officers and recruiters. Companies "are just not hiring for the M.B.A.-level role," says Ms. Hall, who also serves as executive director of alumni and career services at Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Management in Los Angeles.
To be sure, M.B.A. recruiting has rebounded from the depths of the recession. According to a Graduate Management Admission Council survey, 57% of full-time M.B.A. students graduating in 2011 had offers by mid-March, up from 40% a year earlier.
But the undergraduate picture has improved, too, to the extent that companies are now looking at undergraduates for "what they normally would have viewed as an M.B.A. hire," says Mark Brostoff, associate dean and director of the Weston Career Center at the Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis.
Financial Shift
Mr. Brostoff says his undergraduates are being hired into consulting jobs at rates higher than before the recession, while M.B.A.s are still "nowhere near" pre-recession levels.
Similarly, since 2008, Mr. Brostoff says, there's been a "significant increase" in financial-services opportunities for the school's undergraduate students—a greater increase than at the M.B.A. level.
Among the companies Mr. Brostoff says he has seen showing more interest in undergraduates are Goldman Sachs Group Inc., GS -1.72 % Bank of America BAC -0.51 % Corp. and Wells Fargo WFC 0.04 % & Co.
Bank of America spokeswoman Ferris Morrison declines to say whether her company is more interested in undergraduate students. She says the company "continues to be focused on hiring both undergraduate and graduate students for a variety of programs."
A Goldman spokeswoman says the company expects its hiring for the summer of 2012 to be roughly flat with the prior two years, but warns that it is still early in the recruiting cycle. Goldman declines to break out undergraduate versus M.B.A. hires.
A representative from Wells Fargo wasn't available for comment.
Undergraduates are gaining a particular edge in technical financial positions, such as sales and trading, which require sharp quantitative skills but not a big-picture strategic outlook, say schools and recruiters. They are directly replacing M.B.A.s in those jobs, according to schools and employees.
MIT's Sloan School of Management started to see a shift in recruiting for sales and trading jobs when U.S. banks stopped looking at M.B.A.s for summer internships in 2009, Ms. Wilbur says. She says the move went beyond just pulling back from active recruiting. Rather, there was "active discouragement" against inquiries or applications from M.B.A.s.
Consumer-products companies are also looking to younger candidates to fill finance and marketing jobs.
For example, Unilever PLC has returned to Babson's campus to find undergraduate candidates for its finance positions after a few years away.
Same Trajectories
More troubling for business schools: Some say the career trajectory for employees who don't return to school for an M.B.A. is increasingly the same as it is for employees with the additional degree.
Ms. Houlker, a former recruiter for Bear Stearns, says that a few years ago, investment banks would expect undergraduate hires to leave after two years, either to pursue an M.B.A. or find another job.
Now, she says, more banks are promoting analysts into associate positions. She estimates that instead of 25% of analysts being promoted, that number could now be as high as 50% at some investment banks.
