The Great Artwork Dilemma: Keep Everything Your Kids Do?
At some point after I had my first child, on a visit back to my hometown, my mother offered me my baby book. It was carefully filled out for the entire first year, plus had various school pictures and papers tucked inside it. And then there was a small stack of other childhood detritus -- a few report cards, newspaper clippings where I was mentioned for some school thing or other, and one drawing I'd done in kindergarten. Just one.
I was neither surprised nor upset by this discovery. In fact, I was pleased to have the one picture. I did not grow up in a house where our childhood artwork was ever put on display on the fridge or elsewhere. In fact, when I came home with a lumpy clay head in third grade and my mother insisted it would make a perfect "kitchen witch," I remember being upset about that for years (I thought she was making fun of it), though of course the fact that she still has it in her kitchen is a small point of pride to me, now. Normally, when completed masterpieces were brought home, my mother would admire them, then throw them away. That's just how it was. I can't remember if it bothered me as a kid. As an adult, I guess I feel like it was a pragmatic approach, if not a terribly warm and fuzzy one.
But last week the New York Times' Michael Tortorello wrote a much-discussed piece about how different families handle the influx of kiddie artwork, and what it all means. You can watch your child's personality unfolding! See clues to their innermost beings! And -- naturally -- how parents handle the care and storage of said artwork probably says a lot about their parenting styles, too.
Getting rid of clutter makes me happy. I have never been, nor will I ever be, the kind of mom who keeps everything. That would make me insane. But I love my kids, treasure the stuff they make at school, and try to make calculated guesses about what they might enjoy seeing later, when they're older. The truth is that the older they get, the less I keep. There's a large, flat box in my closet that I started when my oldest started preschool, back when the teachers used to make little books with them for every occasion. So sure, I have the one where my daughter did the Thanksgiving interview wherein she claimed I cook a turkey by setting the oven to 750 degrees for 10 minutes, and the Christmas story from my son where he drew a picture of Jesus and Santa dancing together. In elementary school I select a few projects each year to tuck away. Now that my daughter's in middle school, she hangs her various Science Fair ribbons and such in her room, but should the day come when she wants to clear off her bulletin board, I'll take those, too.
When the kids were very small, I designated a wall in their playroom and rotated through hanging up their artwork in there. Nowadays I have a shelf for "treasures" here in my office -- my own personal menagerie of clay and other sculpture -- and beneath it I hang an assortment of paintings, cards, and other items the kids make for me. When something new comes in, something old moves to the box in my closet.
The point is, I save stuff, sure. But in nearly thirteen years of being a parent, it all still fits in one box. Which is just fine with me. And that means that over the years I have both thrown stuff away under cover of darkness and waded into the murky waters of, "I love all of these, but I think if you can pick just one for us to keep, maybe we'll recycle the rest." The first few times I did that it was as if I was ripping the kid's heart out and stomping on it, of course, but guess what -- they adapted. The kids know I don't keep everything. It doesn't seem to have scarred them any. And when I do hang something under my treasure shelf or put it in the keepsake box, they beam. I like to think it's a good balance. Someday, when they're adults, I hope they'll enjoy looking through what I've kept for them, and they will feel neither slighted nor like their mom is a hoarder. Heh.
Talk of how to handle kids' artwork has been a popular topic since Tortorello's piece:
Christine at MommyMatter.com is a saver:
I may be setting myself up for many boxes full of these artist treasuries, but I could never look at it as trash. I plan on each year putting their artwork in specific boxes so I can look at the changes as they get older. See the memories, the thoughts and the creativity bubbling inside of them. A kids' artwork is a cherished piece in my family. My Mom has even framed WeeMan's very first finger painting and hung it right in her "office". It is things like artwork that make motherhood so much better. It is their gift to you, and it is the simple things in life that mean the world to any parent.
While I agree with the sentiment, the logistics of never throwing any of it away kind of frightens me. (Not to mention that my kids have given me tons of "gifts" over the years, and I would no sooner save every piece of paper than continue to hang on to every squashed caterpillar, either.)
The TODAYMoms Blog posted about the overwhelming response to their Facebook post on the topic, noting that readers had lots to share:
We posed the question on our Facebook page, and while plenty admitted to pitching pictures, others shared ingenious ideas. There's the mom who takes digital photos of favored artwork, uploads them to a photo-sharing site, and then creates a book at the end of the year. And the mom who creates an art gallery by hanging photos on a wall covered in corkboard. Another keeps folders of her kids' art, and when it starts overflowing, she suggests, "Let's send the art to Grandma so she can see it." And another has her daughter make paper chains out of the art that isn't displayed and says, "She hasn't noticed yet how the chains seem to disappear."
The comments there are an interesting read, including several from adults whose mothers saved it all and now talk about seeing that as hoarding behavior and the hassle of having to deal with sorting through and throwing away, later, too.
Looking for ideas on how to save and display some (but not all) of those works of kiddie art?
- Mother & Baby Tips has a quick list of suggestions.
- Suite101's Rachel Norton proposes five easy rules to live by when it comes to sorting, saving and tossing.
- And Shana at Ain't No Mom Jeans has some great display ideas, complete with pictures and links.
Where do you stand? Save it all, pitch it all? Somewhere between?

Aerin's Song 'O The Day: "A Question of Time" by Depeche Mode
Why do I do what I do?
So I'm writing a novel, for those of you who don't know (those of you who have been on my friend list long enough are probably sick of hearing me whine about it), and I thought I was two chapters away from finishing...
But I digress. Let me explain.
When I first started writing this monster, I was told (by my old creative writing prof in college, who I still speak with) that I was banned from reading/watching any urban fantasy anything, just in case it leaks intoo my writing and causes a massive copyright lawsuit (like that person suing JK Rowling). Two chapters away now, from finishing. I've literally been writing one chapter (15 pages) a day, and I FEEL the ending in my bones. And my professor said, "Your chapter doesn't feel like the third act-- read the third act of some of the books you like to read and get a feel for the pacing-- about 5-6 chapters til the end."
So there, alongside my irritation that I wasn't done with the STUPID stupid book, was the joy that I CAN READ AGAIN. Aaaaaaaaaaah. That is SO nice.
And I was agonizing over this at work, since there is free internets there, and my co-worker asked me, "If it's so stressful, why do you do it in the first place?"
And I stopped, and wondered. I LIKE to write, no matter how annoyingly frustrating it is at times. And the same is true for everything I like to do, like playing Little Big Planet. I am STILL not done with the final collector's stage, and the last run was with three friends, a five hour block of time, and 5 bottles of cheap white wine.
And why do YOU like playing video games?
That's all. Sorry I don't have much more to report-- this novel is taking over my life. Save me.

Via Ann Althouse comes this video of a mini-stampede by Wisconsin Democrats, upon hearing that Governor Scott Walker was supposedly leaving the Capitol after signing legislation balancing the budget without raising taxes:
...Oops. Well. Natural mistake. Try this:
Personally, I don't take my kids to profanity-laden protests where they can take running headers onto the concrete, but I guess that it takes a pseudo-populist movement to raise an 'activist.' Or at least, raise him up from the ground after it turns out that you've misjudged how fast he can run.

Best known for its men's soccer program, winner of five national titles, Seattle Pacific won its first NCAA Division II women's championship on Saturday when the Falcons edged previously undefeated West Florida, 1-0, in final.
Janae Godoy scored on a blast from 10 yards with less than three minutes remaining in overtime to give her the deciding goal in three of the Falcons five playoff victories. Jocelyn Charette did one better, setting up the game-winning assist in each of the last four victories.
"It's the most amazing feeling ever. Unbelievable," Godoy said. "Being in my position, you have to run a lot to get to the back post, but it pays off when you get there. The other team just didn't get a good clearance and it was touched right to me. I knew the keeper had already gone out, so I didn't have to worry about her. I just hit it on frame."
The Falcons were competing in their third final four in the last four years and their second championship game. They lost, 2-1, in overtime to Nebraska-Omaha three years ago. Last season, the Falcons brought a perfect 23-0 record into the semifinals and then suffered a 2-0 setback against Franklin Pierce.

ReviewsRated 4.3 out of 5 by 35 reviewers.Rated 5 out of 5 by Julie Beautiful Microwave Oven I love the stainless steel finish on this microwave. It gives my kitchen an updated look. The appearance of my appliances is very important to me. It is also easy to use. April 25, 2016Rated 5 out of 5 by JOhnL Excellent design and performance quiet operation, quiet signal when microwave or timer is finished. March 14, 2016Rated 4 out of 5 by Dale Great look and ease of use, just 1 annoyance The only complain I have about this microwave is the exhaust fan start blowing after 1 ~ 2 one minute interval heating, not sure if this is normal or not. Other than that, this is a great product. January 23, 2016Rated 5 out of 5 by Bob Great Microwave Perfect size for me, powerful, quiet, easy to use, attractive. Glad I spent a few extra bucks for a nice microwave. The inverter works so much better at reduced power than turning on and off. January 15, 2016Rated 5 out of 5 by Ham Great product I had the larger version and had to downsize to fit my cabinet. I was concerned I was sacrificing quality due to lesser power. This version is fantastic. It's quiet, powerful, sleek designed and a great product for the price. January 8, 2016Rated 5 out of 5 by Traveler Good Size This is the perfect size for someone who only uses a microwave to heat in. A full size plate of food fits in it. I have only had it a week so far so good. I am looking for many years of service the same as the Panasonic old model it replaced. December 30, 2015Rated 5 out of 5 by RMW Excellent compact microwave (cyber-Monday deal) If you have minimal counter space, this microwave (NN-SD372S) has excellent power and features. Cosmetically, the unit is attractive as well. Faster and more even cooking than my previous two compact 750W units that I owned. The higher wattage, ability to take large full sized dinner plates and improved defrost technology makes this an excellent choice. I am very satisfied. December 28, 2015Rated 5 out of 5 by Achates Bostons Christmas present for my 92 year old Mother My Mother can no longer reach to put things into my built in microwave, so we bought this for her to use. We have it on the counter where she has easy access to it. The touch pads on most microwaves are hard for my mother to use as she has deformed fingers from arthritis. The controls on this microwave seem easier for her to use. The turntable works great and is large enough for a dinner plate. So far it seems to be a perfect match for my Mom. December 27, 2015

Milan Lucic hopes to build on the goal that wasn't
|01.17.11 at 5:12 pm ET
Milan Lucic knew very early on Monday that he couldn't play the rust card upon returning from three games out of the lineup. Not after Mark Stuart, who had missed the last 18 games with a broken hand and dislocated finger, scored at 7:56 to give the Bruins a 1-0 lead in what would become a 7-0 victory.
Lucic skated on a line with David Krejci and rookie Tyler Seguin. He picked up an assist on Zdeno Chara's third goal of the game, but he had thought he was on the scoring sheet long before the final period. Following Stuart's goal, Lucic took a pass from Krejci and fired it past Hurricanes goaltender Cam Ward at 9:15. Little did the Bruins know that Lucic was actually touching up on a delayed hooking penalty to Chara.
Lucic questioned the nature of the play, but Chara left the box and scored on a 2-on-1 with Mark Recchi to give the B's the 2-0 lead he thought he had previously secured.
"They didn't blow the whistle until after the goal," Lucic said. "They called it off. It was funny the ref that was down there in front of the two didn't call the penalty but the ref that was beside me decided to call it."
After scoring 16 goals in his first 30 games and currently riding a 12-game streak without a tally, Lucic said he can use the goal-that wasn't to build off of.
"I have to," Lucic said.
He's still confident with how he felt in his return to the lineup, and hopes it can mean the end of his slump.
"It is disheartening because I haven't scored in a while after being hot for the first 30 games but you have to build off of it. It was a good stride and I have to get my game going from there."
Zdeno Chara credits Peter Bondra with hat trick celebration
|01.17.11 at 4:36 pm ET
Zdeno Chara hadn't been holding his breath for his first career hat trick, but he was able to breathe a sigh of relief after becoming the fourth defenseman in Bruins history to accomplish the feat.
"You're always kind of thinking about how it would be nice to have that kind of a game in your career, to say, 'Hey I've done it, I had a hat trick,' but for myself, it took 14-15 years," Chara said. "I'm not expecting to have another one anytime soon."
Regardless of how frequently he tallies three goals in a game, his teammates were glad to see him do it for the first time, including another long-tenured Bruin who just recently had their first hat trick.
"That's our leader," Patrice Bergeron said of Chara. "That's our captain. That's why he's probably the best defenseman in the league."
Chara celebrated the hat trick by gesturing to the crowd with his glove, waving on the fans to toss their hats. He admitted after the game that he saw Peter Bondra of the Capitals do it after notching three goals against him when we was with the Islanders, and that he kept the move stored in case he ever had the opportunity.
"I kind of remembered [thinking], 'If I ever get a hat trick, I want to do the same.' I thought it was pretty cool," Chara said of seeing Bondra celebrate.
Just as Chara took notice of Bondra, his Bruins teammates got a kick out of their captain's celebration.
"Yes," Milan Lucic said with a laugh when asked if it was the most interesting goal celebration he'd seen. "That's all I'm going to say. Yes."
Bruins win easily behind Zdeno Chara hat trick, Tim Thomas shutout
|01.17.11 at 3:33 pm ET
Zdeno Chara had his first career hat trick, while Tim Thomas recorded his seventh shutout of the season in a 7-0 Bruins win over the Hurricanes. Chara joined Bobby Orr, Ray Bourque and Glen Wesley as the only Bruins defenseman to record three goals in a game.
Cam Ward was the bad guy when he shut out the Bruins at the Garden back on Nov. 26, but the Bruins were able to chase him from the game in just 11:26 thanks to goals from Mark Stuart and Chara.
For Stuart, it was his first goal of the season and a nice way to make his return from a broken hand and dislocated finger that had kept him out for 18 games. Chara would add power play goals in the first and third periods after Justin Peters took over for Ward.
The Bruins also got goals from Gregory Campbell and Patrice Bergeron in the second period. Bergeron, who was named the NHL's No. 2 star of the week earlier in the day, now has 12 points over his last seven games. Michael Ryder scored his 14th goal of the season when he redirected a Dennis Seidenberg shot past Peters.
Peters didn't do himself any favors in the game, as he drew penalties for holding and roughing in the second and third period, respectively.
The two teams will square off again Tuesday night in Carolina.
– The Bruins are proof that goals come in waves. When Patrice Bergeron scored 13 seconds after Gregory Campbell in the second period, it marked the ninth time this season that the Bruins have scored two goals in less than a minute. It was the third time they've done so in the last three games, as they did it last Monday in Pittsburgh and on Saturday against the Penguins.
– His production on the night was obviously overshadowed by that of another Bruins defenseman, but Adam McQuaid had his first-career multi-point game, and it took him less than 12 minutes to accomplish it. On the day, five Bruins defenseman had at least a point, with Johnny Boychuk the only one to not register one. Boychuk had an even rating.
– Tim Thomas continues to put up monster numbers, and he now ahas noter blanking in the books. He's already surpassed his previous career high of five shutouts in a season, but with seven thus far, the question is whether he ends up doubling it.
Thomas didn't find himself facing the most energetic offense, though he did come up with big saves on Eric Staal in the first period. His save on Jeff Skinner in the second led to a quick breakout and, eventually, a beautiful pass from Shawn Thornton to Campbell for a B's goal. With Thornton's assist (his fourth), he jumped back out in front of Thomas in their assist race. Thomas has three helpers on the season.
– Milan Lucic thought he'd scored his 17th goal of the season when he beat Ward at 9:15 of the first, but he was in fact touching up on a delayed penalty on Zdeno Chara. It wasn't exactly costly for the B's, as Chara returned to the ice following the penalty and scored on a 2-on-1.
Lucic has now gone 12 straight games without a goal, though he grabbed an assist on Chara's third goal.
– This was a game in which just about as much went right for the Bruins as possible. All four lines had strong showings, and the defense and goaltending were stout. They even won the fisticuffs battle, as McQuaid pounded Troy Bodie in the third period. There will be plenty of games for the bad to stand out, but there simply wasn't much of it Monday.
Bruins add to lead in second
|01.17.11 at 2:40 pm ET
The Bruins continued piling on in the second period against the Hurricanes, striking twice in 13 seconds to establish a 5-0 lead entering the third.
Shawn Thornton set up a falling Gregory Campbell in front of the net for the center's sixth goal of the season. Blake Wheeler also picked up an assist on the play.
Patrice Bergeron continued his hot streak, as he scored his 15th goal of the season immediately following Campbell's. Bergeron now has 12 points in his last seven games, and 21 in his last 16.
The B's goals weren't the extent of Hurricanes netminder Justin Peter's bad day. He took a holding penalty when he grabbed onto Blake Wheeler's leg late in the period.
The B's are outshooting the Hurricanes, 29-23.
Bruins chase Cam Ward early, lead 3-0 after one
|01.17.11 at 1:45 pm ET
Generally, defensemEn can be responsible for their own goaltender being chased from a game, but the Bruins blueliners did the damage in the first period, ending Cam Ward's day early and piling it on from there. The B's lead, 3-0.
Mark Stuart, who had missed the last 18 games due to a broken right hand and a dislocated finger, go the Bruins with a slapshot from the point at 7:56. It was his seventh goal of the season.
Milan Lucic though he'd made it 2-0 when he took a pass from David Krejci and fired it past Ward, but after celebration and confusion, it was deemed that he was touching up slashing call on Zdeno Chara. The B's defenseman made up for it when he took a pass from Adam McQuaid out of the box and brought it up for a 2-on-1 with Mark Recchi. The B's captain kept the puck and scored on a wrist-shot to make it 2-0.
Ward was yanked following the goal, though Chara would break in replacement Justin Peters with a power play tally at 15:58.
McQuaid picked up assists on the first two goals, giving him his first career multi-point game. It is Chara's ninth two-goal game.
Patrice Bergeron named No. 2 star of the week
|01.17.11 at 12:40 pm ET
Bruins center Patrice Bergeron was named the No. 2 star of the week for the week ending on Jan. 16. The 25-year-old was runner-up to Hurricanes winger Jussi Jokinen, who had four goals and three assists in three games for Carolina during the week.
Bergeron also had seven points during the week, scoring four goals and adding three assists over a four-game stretch in which the B's went 3-1-0. On the season, Bergeron has 14 goals and 20 assists for a team-leading 34 points in 44 games.
Coyotes netminder Ilya Bryzgalov was named the third star.
Tim Thomas to start for Bruins vs. Hurricanes, Milan Lucic and Mark Stuart to play
|01.17.11 at 12:07 pm ET
Bruins coach Claude Julien said prior to Monday's matinee vs. the Hurricanes that the team will see the return of Milan Lucic and Mark Stuart to the lineup.
Lucic has missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury, while Stuart has been out since Dec. 7 with a broken hand and dislocated finger. The team sent defenseman Matt Bartkowski to Providence on Sunday in order to activate Stuart, who had been placed on injured reserve a week prior.
Julien added that Tim Thomas will start in goal against the Hurricanes. Thomas was in goal in the team's Nov. 26 matinee against Carolina, when he allowed three goals in a 3-0 Bruins loss.

The Dodge Avenger shores up DaimlerChrysler's midsize sedan lineup. Introduced for 2008, the Avenger succeeds the Stratus, and like the Stratus it plays a sportier second fiddle to Chrysler's Sebring sedan. The Sebring was redesigned for 2007, and it shares underpinnings with the Avenger. Both cars compete against best-sellers like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.
Trim levels include the SE, midlevel SXT and sporty R/T. Unadorned Avengers will use Chrysler's World Engine, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that's used in a range of Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles. Other engines include a 2.7-liter V-6 and a 3.5-liter V-6. Front-wheel drive is standard, while the R/T has optional all-wheel drive.
The Avenger trades the Sebring's sleeper styling for a bolder grille with Dodge's iconic crosshairs. The rear end looks much like the one on the full-size Charger, while the side profile draws elements from the compact Caliber hatchback. Up front, the Avenger SE includes a black grille, while the SXT and R/T have chrome grilles. The R/T also includes fog lights.
Wheel choices range from 16-inch steel wheels on the SE to 18-inch alloy rims on the R/T. At 190.9 inches long, the Avenger is about even with the Accord and 1.7 inches longer than the Camry.
Inside, the cabin trades the Sebring's metallic textures for varied shades of plastic. Dodge's Chill Zone, a feature introduced in the Caliber, allows drinks to be cooled by air-conditioning vents in a covered storage box atop the glove compartment. It's standard on all Avengers. Other standard features include air conditioning, cruise control, and power windows and door locks.
The SXT adds a power driver's seat and stain-resistant upholstery, among other things, while the R/T includes automatic climate control, steering-wheel audio controls and more. A heated and cooled cupholder — an unusual feature in today's car biz — is optional, as are heated leather seats. Several luxury features offered elsewhere in the segment, like a power passenger seat and dual-zone climate control, are missing.
A CD stereo is standard, but buyers can upgrade to Chrysler's MyGig system, which allows storage of up to 20GB of music, pictures and voice messages that can be played through the Avenger's navigation system. A rear-seat DVD system is also optional.
A 60/40-split folding rear seat accommodates longer items from the trunk. For even more oversized cargo, a fold-flat passenger seat is optional in the Avenger SE and standard elsewhere. With 100.9 cubic feet of cabin volume, the Avenger slightly trails the Accord (102.7) and Camry (101.4).
Under the Hood
The Avenger SE and SXT include a 173-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. Optional on the SXT is a 2.7-liter V-6 that makes 189 hp and can run on gasoline or ethanol-based E85. Both the four-cylinder and 2.7-liter V-6 use a four-speed automatic transmission.
The R/T has a 235-hp, 3.5-liter V-6. It teams with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Side-impact airbags for the front seats and side curtain airbags for both rows are standard. Four-wheel-disc antilock brakes, however, are optional — something many competitors include standard. An electronic stability system is also optional.

Range Description
J. barbadensis var barbadensis is confined to a single location on St. Lucia, formely it was known from Barbados but it is now extinct there.
J. barbadensis var. lucayana occurs in the Bahamas on the following islands: Great Abaco, Andros, Grand Bahama, Eleuthera and New Providence. Although Adams (1989) cites a figure of ca. 100 plants in the Bahamas the number is between 2000-3000. In Cuba it is currently recorded from Camagey (Cayo Sabinal), Holgun (Sierra de Nipe) and Isla de la Juventud, Pinar del Ro (Sabanalamar), (Areces-Mallea 1997, Adams 1989), however it is thought to only be extant in the latter two locations (Adams 1989). In Jamaica 15-20 trees grow in St Andrew Parish near to Clydesdale (Adams 1989,pers. obs.) where it has an EOO of 30 km2. It is now extinct on Haiti.
Habitat and Ecology
This species occurs from sea level to 1600 m in a range of forest types depending on the country. In Cuba it is found in bosque aciculifolio forest which is characterised as having about 30% forest cover dominated by Pinus spp. with evergreen trees and associated shrubs and herbaceous plants but very few epiphytes and climbers (Berazan 2005). In contrast, on the Isle of Pines off the south coast of Cuba, it grows in forest swamps. In the Bahamas it is found in coppices on rocky slopes. On St Lucia it grows on rocky outcrops (volcanic origin) in deciduous seasonal forest (Graveson 2009) 30 m below the summit of a coastal mountain at an altitude of ca 700 m. Associated species include: the endemic Bernardia laurentii (sole location) and occasional small gnarled trees bent by the wind such as Capparis indica, Casearia decandra, Daphnopsis americana, Erithalis odifera, Krugiodendron ferreum, Tabebuia heterophylla. Non-woody species include: Agave caribaeicola, Peperomia magnoliifolia, Pitcairnia angustifolia, Tillandsia fasciculata and T. utriculata.

J. barbadensis var. lucayana: In Jamaica and Cuba the sub-populations are relatively restricted and occur in small stands with 5-30 individuals. In the Bahamas, the number is much higher and although there is no precise figure, it is believed to be between 2000-3000 individuals, most of which are confined to the islands of Andros, Abaco and Grand Bahama. In recent years there has been some reduction in some of these stands, for example the best stands at the west end of Grand Bahama have almost all disappeared due to the construction of apartments, a golf course and a marina.

Garapan is the largest city in and capital of the Northern Mariana Islands. It is on Saipan.
Get in[edit]
Get around[edit]
The city of Garapan is the most urban area in the CNMI (Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands) but is considered more of a "mini town". Hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, smaller stores and shops, other businesses, and American Memorial Park are all within walking distance from each other, although unfamiliar tourists can take a taxicab to and from the insular areas of the city along with the other villages outside of Garapan. There are no public buses in Saipan, but DFS Galleria provides a free bus to its customers between the store and major hotels around the island.
See[edit][add listing]
At American Memorial Park, on Micro Beach Road (at the north end of Beach Road), there is a free museum on the Battle of Saipan with relics, audio recordings, and a documentary in several languages. There is also a gift shop. American Memorial Park is a U.S. National Park.
The Kristo Rai Church is a local landmark on Beach Road across from the fishing base, south of McDonald's. A historic bell tower is behind the church, to the left if you are on Beach Road facing the church.
Do[edit][add listing]
Besides the many shopping and eating opportunities in Garapan, there is still much more to do. All beaches on Saipan are public (even if they are located in front of a hotel), so regardless of where you are staying, you can go swimming or enjoy other activities at Micro Beach. You can take a walk, jog, play frisbee, have a picnic, or check out the Visitor Center at American Memorial Park, which is next to Micro Beach. You can get a massage or you can get your hair done. You can rent a car or a motor scooter. You can watch the dancers in front of I Love Saipan, on Beach Road north of DFS Galleria.
Buy[edit][add listing]
There are many opportunities for shopping in Garapan. The DFS Galleria is a large shopping center that offers duty free shopping with low tax. Star Sands Plaza is the largest souvenir and island lifestyle store on island where U.S retail brand outlet Everblue store can be found. ABC STORES has two Saipan branches with an initial inventory that includes stocked grocery, souvenirs, drugs and cosmetics, ABC has grown to carry anything a tourist would need. There is also a popular local department store called Joeten in Garapan that offers unique gifts and grocery items. The Athlete's Foot is located next to Joeten at Hafa Adai Shopping Center.

THE EMBASSY of the United States in Manila has advised US citizens against traveling to Zamboanga following the attack by members of the Moro National Liberation Front early morning Monday.
The travel ban cited the "ongoing clashes between Philippine security forces and armed insurgents of the MNLF."
"We have no information at this time whether the clashes will expand to neighboring areas, nor how long they may continue," the advisory said. "The Embassy has heard no reports of violence in neighboring Basilan province, but urges US citizens to exercise caution and remain vigilant regarding their personal security situation."
The Embassy also asked US citizens currently in Zamboanga to "shelter in place to avoid becoming involved in the fighting or should follow any instructions from local authorities regarding evacuation."
Colonel Adrelino Colina, head of TF Zamboanga, in a radio interview said, there were no movements from the side of the MNLF.
"There is an observed stalemate on the side of the MNLF," said Colina.
And he added: "Ang kailangan ngayon ay pag-uusap (What needs to be done is to talk to them)."
Before this, Misuari declared Mindanao independence last month.
The rebels have reportedly attacked the villages of Barangays Rio Hondo, Sta. Barbara, Sta. Catalina, Tetuan, Talon-Talon, and Mariki in Zamboanga City since early morning Monday.
Reports said they have taken hostage around 200 civilians.
The Monday advisory released at 2 p.m. said the Embassy "wishes to remind all US citizens to remain vigilant and maintain an appropriate level of personal security in all circumstances by reviewing your personal safety plans; remaining aware of your surroundings, including local events; and monitoring local news sources for updates."
The US advisory specifically asked US citizens to be guided by its July 5 travel warning that says: "US citizens should continue to defer non-essential travel to the Sulu Archipelago, due to the high threat of kidnapping of international travelers and violence linked to insurgency and terrorism there." | NewsDesk

Missing outcome data plague many randomized experiments. Common solutions rely on ignorability assumptions that may not be credible in all applications. We propose a method for confronting missing outcome data that makes fairly weak assumptions but can still yield informative bounds on the average treatment effect. Our approach is based on a combination of the double sampling design and non-parametric worst-case bounds. We derive a worst-case bounds estimator under double sampling and provide analytic expressions for variance estimators and confidence intervals. We also propose a method for covariate adjustment using post-stratification and a sensitivity analysis for non-ignorable missingness. Finally, we illustrate the utility of our approach using Monte Carlo simulations and a placebo-controlled randomized field experiment on the effects of persuasion on social attitudes with survey-based outcome measures.

Analysis revealed the need to monitor such cell cultures often.[Gernot Krautberger-Fotolia.com]
A multinational team of researchers has documented specific genetic abnormalities that occur in human embryonic stem cell (hESC) and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines. The findings highlight the need for frequent genomic monitoring of pluripotent stem cells to assure their stability and clinical safety.
The study titled "Dynamic changes in the copy number of pluripotency and cell proliferation genes in human ESCs and iPSCs during reprogramming and time in culture" is published in the January 7 issue of Cell Stem Cell. The research was led by stem cell scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine and Scripps Research Institute.
"We found that human pluripotent cells had higher frequencies of genomic aberrations than other cell types," says Louise Laurent, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor in the UCSD department of reproductive medicine and first author on the study. "Most strikingly, we observed a higher frequency of genomic duplications in hESCs and deletions in iPSCs when compared to nonpluripotent samples."
The team performed high-resolution SNP analysis on 186 pluripotent and 119 nonpluripotent samples. They found variations enriched in specific genomic regions. The distribution of these variations differed between hESCs and IPSCs, characterized by large numbers of duplications found in a few hESC samples and moderate numbers of deletions distributed across many IPSC samples. For IPSCs the reprogramming process was associated with deletions of tumor-suppressor genes, whereas time in culture was associated with duplications of oncogenic genes.
"We were surprised to see profound genetic changes occurring in some cultures over very short periods of time, such as during the process of reprogramming somatic cells into iPSCs and during differentiation of the cells in culture," Dr. Laurent remarks. "We don't know yet what effects, if any, these genetic abnormalities will have on the outcome of basic research studies or clinical applications, and we need to find out."
Senior author Jeanne F. Loring, Ph.D., professor and director of the Center for Regenerative Medicine at the Scripps Research Institute, adds, "Since genetic aberrations are often associated with cancers, it is vital that cell lines destined for clinical use are free from cancer-associated genomic alterations."
Dr. Loring concludes, "The results of the study illustrate the need for frequent genomic monitoring of pluripotent stem cell cultures. SNP analysis has not been a part of routine monitoring of hESC and iPSC cultures, but our results suggest that perhaps it should be."

Evans' consistency now offers Blue Wave some pop at the plate
Published: Monday, March 10, 2014 at 11:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 10, 2014 at 11:27 p.m.
Garland Evans has always been a pretty consistent hitter for the P.K. Yonge Blue Wave softball team, but as a junior has added more pop to her bat.
She exhibited that Friday in a District 5-4A showdown with Bradford in a battle between two of the state's best teams.
Hitless for six innings and down 2-0, Evans opened P.K. Yonge's last at-bat with a double to center off Tornadoes' pitcher Ashton Adkins, snapping her no-hit bid. That started a three-run rally for the Blue Wave, who pulled out a 3-2 win to stay perfect at 10-0 on the season.
"She has been our most consistent hitter throughout the course of the season," said P.K. Yonge coach Paul Silverman. "She is at the No. 2 spot for us and can do a lot of things. She has always been a good hitter, but what she has added this year is power."
Garland is hitting .516 on the season with five double and two triples, and ranks second on the team with 13 RBIs.
"Ashton is such an effective pitcher and Garland is always an aggressive hitter, but her swings were very defensive the first two times she faced her," Silverman said.
"That is not what we needed then, down two runs in our final at bats. We needed her to drive the ball and thankfully for us she hit a double."
Earlier in the week, the centerfielder drove in five runs with three hits, which included a double and triple, and scored three runs in a 15-1 win over Buchholz.
"She has had a significant number of multi base hits this season," Silverman said. "It shows she is getting stronger."
Ashtin Strickland, Santa Fe: In 21 innings, the junior pitcher struck out 43 to go 2-1 with a 1.33 ERA while batting .300 with a home run, double, three runs scored and three RBIs. She helped her team to the Santa Fe Invitational title with a 4-1 record for the week.
Julian Gonzalez, Newberry: The senior third baseman went 4 for 8 at the plate with four runs scored and three RBIs as the Panthers went 3-0 for the week.
Track and field
Logan Cutts, Bell: The junior set a school record in the 800 meters at 2:05 for the Bulldogs, while also running on the 4x400 and 4x800 relays. The 4x800 relay also set a school record.
Boys lacrosse
Het Patel, Eastside: The sophomore attacker had four goals and four assists in wins against P.K. Yonge and The International Community School for the Rams.
Honorable mention
Kaitlyn Burke, P.K. Yonge: The sophomore catcher went 3 for 6 for the week with a double, two RBIs and two runs scored in wins over Buchholz and Bradford.
Shelbee Blackburn, Santa Fe: The junior hit .533 with a home run, double, three runs scored and three RBIs for the 11-5 Raiders.
Mika Ward, Bell: The sophomore catcher went 9 of 13 at the plate with three RBIs, four doubles, home run and four runs scored at the Santa Fe Invitational.
Hannah Ogle, Interlachen: In two games last week, the senior went 5 for 5 with three doubles, seven runs scored and four RBIs. She was also walked five times and was hit by a pitch, and has reached base 21 straight times.
Ashlyn Curtis, Eastside: The junior went 3 for 4 against Lake Weir and is batting .552 on the season.
Jaylyn Lewis, Eastside: The sophomore had two hits against Lake Weir and is hitting .440 on the season.
Mary Alice Klenk, St. Francis: In three games last week, the sophomore hit .670 with two triples and nine RBIs.
Kylie Maris, St. Francis: The junior hit .420 with five runs scored, one triple and four stolen bases in three games last week for the Wolves.
Athletes of the week are determined by nominations from area coaches. Coaches are asked to call in every Monday to (352) 374-5050 between 12-4 p.m.

The Doctrine of Corroboration in Sexual Assault Trials in Early Twentieth-Century Canada and Australia
Constance B. Backhouse
University of Ottawa - Common Law Section
Queen's Law Journal 26:2 (Spring 2001) 297-338
The author compares two early twentieth century criminal cases, one Australian and one Canadian, involving carnal knowledge of a child. The cases illustrate the parallel development of the doctrine of corroboration in sexual assault cases in the two countries – a doctrine which was based on the belief that the testimony of women and girls in such cases was inherently suspect. By requiring that corroborating evidence be independent of the complainant's testimony, and by interpreting that requirement in an extremely rigid way to exclude particular items of evidence that strongly supported the complaints, the courts in both cases imposed unjustified obstacles to the conviction of men accused of sexual offences. This misuse of the doctrine of corroboration contradicted the ideals of evenhanded justice and gender equality in both Canada and Australia.

Thousands rally against stricter gun control in US
Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Gun advocates _ some with rifles slung across shoulders or pistols holstered at the hip _ have rallied peacefully in state capitals nationwide against President Barack Obama's sweeping federal gun-control proposals.
Summoned via social media for the "Guns Across America" event, participants gathered Saturday for protests large and small against stricter limits sought on firearms. Only a few dozen turned out in South Dakota and a few hundred in Boise, Idaho. Some 2,000 turned out in New York and large crowds also rallied in Connecticut, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Washington state.
The rallies came on a day in which accidental shootings at gun shows in North Carolina, Indiana and Ohio left five people hurt. The wounded included two bystanders hit by shotgun pellets after a 12-gauge shotgun discharged at a show in Raleigh, N.C., as the owner unzipped its case for a law officer to check at a security entrance, authorities said. A retired deputy there also suffered a slight hand injury.
About 800 people gathered for the "Guns Across America" event in Austin, Texas, as speakers took to the microphone under a giant Texas flag stamped with one word: "Independent."
"The thing that so angers me, and I think so angers you, is that this president is using children as a human shield to advance a very liberal agenda that will do nothing to protect them," said state Rep. Steve Toth, referencing last month's elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn.
Obama recently announced the gun-control proposals in the wake of a Connecticut elementary school shooting that killed 20 first-graders and six educators last month.
Toth, a first-term Republican lawmaker from The Woodlands outside Houston, has introduced legislation to ban within Texas any future federal limits on assault weapons or high-capacity magazines, though such a measure would violate the U.S. Constitution.
In Arizona, Oregon and Utah, some came with holstered handguns or rifles on their backs.
One man in Phoenix dressed as a Revolutionary War Minuteman, completing his outfit with an antique long rifle and a sign reading: "Tyrants Beware – 1776."
"We're out here because this country has some very wise founding fathers and they knew they were being oppressed when they were a British colony," said another man at the Phoenix rally, Eric Cashman. "Had they not had their firearms … to stand up against the British, we'd still be a British colony."
Rallies at statehouses nationwide were organized by Eric Reed, an airline captain from the Houston area who in November started a group called "More Gun Control (equals) More Crime." Its Facebook page has been "liked" by more than 17,000 people.
At the New York state Capitol in Albany, about 2,000 people turned out for a chilly rally, where they chanted "We the People," `'USA," and "Freedom." Many carried American flags and "Don't Tread On Me" banners. The event took place four days after Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the nation's toughest assault weapon and magazine restrictions.
In Connecticut, where task forces created by the Legislature and Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy are considering changes to gun laws, police said about 1,000 people showed up on the Capitol grounds. One demonstrator at the rally in Maine, Joe Getchell of Pittsfield, said every law-abiding citizen has a right to bear arms.
In Minnesota, where more than 500 people showed up at the Capitol in St. Paul, Republican state Rep. Tony Cornish said he would push to allow teachers to carry guns in school without a principal or superintendent's approval and to allow 21-year-olds to carry guns on college campuses.
Capitol rallies also took place in Colorado, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Vermont and Wisconsin, among other states.
Back in Texas, Houston resident Robert Thompson attended the rally with his wife and children, ages 12, 5 and 4. Many in the family wore T-shirts reading: "The Second Amendment Protects the First."
"What we are facing now is an assault weapons ban, but if they do this, what will do they do next?" Thompson asked.
Associated Press writers Bob Christie in Phoenix; Ian Pickus in Albany, N.Y.; Emery P. Dalesio in Raleigh, N.C.; and Debbi Morello in Hartford, Conn., contributed to this report.

Britney Spears and Rihanna tweet 'S&M' remix on the way
Are Britney Spears and Rihanna collaborating for the first time? It sound like it. The two pop stars went to Twitter to Sunday evening to announce Spears would be appearing on a new remix of Rihanna's surprise hit single "S&M."
Rihanna started it off with "I got a #SEXY collabo comin your way supa dupa soon!!!! OH YEAH!!! By popular demand…." She then followed up with, "Its BRITNEY BITCH!!!!"
Spears then tweeted, "@rihanna You're such a tease! I like it, like it…."
Rihanna responded with, "MAJAH Rihmix to S&M MAJAH!!!!"
Spears replied with, "You think they're ready Ri Ri?"
Rihanna came back with, "One of the biggest worldwide popstars! U gangsta #EPIC"
"You ain't so bad yourself honey," Spears says ending the Sunday night conversation.
What's unclear is why the stars are collaborating on an "S&M" remix now. "S&M" is currently number two on Billboard's top 100 chart. Spears' "Femme Fatale" album debut in the top slot last week and her new video for "Til the World Ends" has pushed the song back up to the top five on iTunes. How this would help either singer, besides a historical footnote, remains to be seen.
Look for more on this story as more info becomes available on HitFix.

We just spend things on things that dont help students.
Our school district is in the hole with money and they spent a million dollars that they had on ipads for administration. .
