text: My baby ate 2-3 full bowls of vegetables, fruit and cereal when he was 6 months, he slept through the night and breastfed fine. Now he is almost 8 months old. He got thrush and stopped eating solids. His thrush is gone now. My milk supply went low because he was eating so much solids. I pumped recently and I only got 2 oz. out of each breast. Now he refuses to eat solids and breastfeeds all the time. He breastfeeds/comforts all night long. I'm not getting sleeping and fighting to feed him solids during the day. He sometimes eats apples/blueberries from the jar and pears. He was 7 lbs. 6 oz and 19 inches long when he was born and now he is under 15 lbs. and 27 inches long. I think he isn't sleeping cause he's hungry but he won't eat. Also he cries if I don't hold him. He's crying constantly and I'm not getting sleep. Help!

Deutsche's blues set to deepen
Deutsche Bank must dread year ends. The German bank made a €1 billion net loss in the last three months of 2013, the second consecutive year its fourth quarter has been in the red: Its shares fell 5.4% on Monday.
Deutsche's management, led by co-chief executives Anshu Jain and Jürgen Fitschen, is appealing for more time to reshape the bank, while expecting 2014 to be another tough year. Whether the Jain-Fritschen pairing has done enough to merit investors' patience is now in question.
There has been some progress. Deutsche is shrinking its balance sheet to comply with tighter regulation. Its leverage ratio—a measure of how indebted the bank is—has improved to 3.1%, just above the 3% regulatory minimum. Its core equity is now 9.7% of its assets weighted for riskiness: that is short of the bank's 10% target by 2015, but up from 7.8% last year. On measures such as the stability of its funding and business diversification, Deutsche claims it's in better shape than before the financial crisis.
But evidence of reform isn't yet sufficient. Deutsche may be cutting costs, but its cost-to-income ratio remained at 73% last year, the same as in 2012. More heavy legal costs look likely in 2014. Deutsche is caught up in a regulatory probe into foreign exchange trading, while it still faces fines for its alleged role in fixing London interbank offered rates.
If Deutsche's costs keep dropping only as fast as its revenues decline, its efforts to improve its return on equity to over 15% by 2015 from just 2% last year will falter. The fall in Deutsche's fixed-income trading last quarter was much sharper than at US peers like Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan. Only its wealth-management arm saw rising revenues in the last three months of 2013.
To date, Deutsche's leadership has been determined to keep as many business lines open as possible, with a plan to reassess its options when the regulatory mist around banking dissipates. Other banks have been clearer about their priorities sooner, be it HSBC's focus on trade finance or UBS's retrenchment to focus on wealth and private banking.
Deutsche has finally had a change of heart, retreating from businesses like commodities trading where it now believes it will never make a decent return on its assets. But the sunlit uplands of adequate overall returns remain more distant for Deutsche than its rivals, while it still trails many on the capital ratio front.
Trading at 0.9 times its tangible book value the bank deservedly lags its European peers trading at 1.2 times. There is currently little reason to see that gap closing. Jain and Fritschen must soon provide more compelling reasons why Deutsche is in the correct hands.

LaClair to seek House seat
BARRE TOWN Select Board member Rob LaClair says hell be in the running to replace Rep. Tom Koch, R-Barre Town, who announced last month he will not be seeking re-election to his legislative seat.
In a brief news release announcing his entry into the race, LaClair didnt pick a party, but he did say he hoped to win one of the two legislative seats in Republican-leaning Barre Town.
I believe I am well-qualified to represent the citizens of Barre Town, said LaClair, who was elected vice chairman of the Select Board last month.
Im committed to the ideals of statesmanship, integrity and hard work, and will work diligently to serve the Barre Town community, as well as all residents of Vermont, he added. My first priority is to be a strong representative for the people.
Though LaClair, a first-term board member, is relatively new to Barre Town politics, he is a lifelong central Vermonter who has been involved in civic organizations for the past three decades.
LaClair, who was elected to the board in 2013, previously lived in Middlesex and served for nine years on the U-32 High School Board and three years on the Washington Central Supervisory Union Board. LaClair is a past member of the Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department and has served on the board of directors for the nonprofit childrens advocacy center OUR House.
According to the news release, LaClairs business experience includes working in a variety of positions for a multinational company for more than two decades and owning and operating several small businesses over the last 14 years.

It's about bringing trails to life.
These pictures are the latest innovation from Google-- and what's called "trekker technology"-- a 360-degree gizmo on loan to the state.
The Big Island's Hawaii Forest and Trail owner Rob Pacheco has been learning how to master the trekker contraption.
Over the next three months his company will be mapping more than 60 miles of trails as part of a global endeavor.
"I have had a love of maps since I was a young kid and so I have been a big fan of the Google technology. This is just taking it to another level," said Rob Pacheco.
"We are really excited to bring trekker to Hawaii because it has such diverse landscapes. It has 13 of the climate zones that the world has right here in Hawaii, so when I think of where trekker is going, Hawaii is giving us a great preview of that," said Google's Evan Rapoport.
It will be no easy feat lugging 45 pounds of digital mapping power on a backpack topped with what looks like a soccer ball.
"It takes pictures every two and a half feet. They are 365 panoramas, 75 megapixels. It has 15 lenses that come together to stitch togehter to get one really big image," Rapoport said.
The new trail views may bring more of the beauty to the world, but there's been concern lately that online videos and pictures can lead to overcrowding or overuse. Or they can tempt hikers to try trails beyond their ability.

A rash of recent falls have all come on unsanctioned trails.
"The one thing we want to do is make sure we are showing approved trails that are well maintained and a have a degree of safety to them," said HVCB's Jay Talwar,
Former resident David Snow is back in the islands to take in the Makiki trail.
He thinks more information will help people make better decisions and may keep people who shouldn't be on some trails --off them.
"It would be helpful for me who like to travel a lot to discover new trails and really see what the conditions are. Also if you have kids, it makes it makes it easy to see if it's too narly for them. So, I really look forward to seeing how this evolves," said Snow.

Tennant digging deeper hole
One wonders how Natalie Tennant could have put herself in a worse position.
Her support for President Barack Obama in 2008, then again in 2012 – after he began his war on coal and affordable electricity – was enough to scuttle her hopes of winning a U.S. Senate seat from West Virginia.
Now Tennant finds one of her biggest supporters, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is being viewed as the Obama clone some Democrats want to put in the White House.
U.S. Rep. Shelley Capito, R-W.Va., will win the Senate seat in November. The only question is how handily she will send Tennant back to the secretary of state's office.
The outlook gets worse and worse for Tennant – and not just because of Obama's war on coal. In addition, many West Virginians are growing increasingly angry about Obamacare. Those who trustingly signed up for it are beginning to hear their health insurance premiums are likely to go up dramatically.
Then there's the "farm vote" which, in West Virginia, includes lots of people who don't actually till the land. One of their heroines is Lois Alt, the Hardy County poultry farmer who stood up to the Environmental Protection Agency when it tried to ruin her.
Oh, and did we mention Medicare?
Tennant has insisted Capito wants to destroy the program that provides health care for many Mountain State senior citizens.
In reality, Medicare has been savaged by – you guessed it – Obama and liberals in Congress.
Just a few days ago, UnitedHealth Group, the largest provider of supplemental Medicare Advantage insurance in the U.S., revealed the Obamacare law has spurred it to cut thousands of doctors out of its network approved for participation in the program. That is as a result of Obamacare cuts in reimbursements for Medicare Advantage health care providers.
Another provision in Obamacare allows the Medicare program to cut reimbursements for home health care. Now, while the president has granted hundreds of breaks from Obamacare requirements, he has not done so in this case. The maximum in cuts allowable will be made to the home health care program.
In total, Obamacare will result in more than $700 billion in cuts to Medicare.
Capito voted against Obamacare. She wants to scrap the whole thing.
On Monday, Tennant had a campaign event scheduled in the Eastern Panhandle. Warren, who already has contributed $10,000 to the Tennant campaign, was to be the guest of honor.
Events during the past few days have made it clear why a senator from Massachusetts would be so interested in electing a Democrat from West Virginia to the Senate.
As I've pointed out, Warren is a flaming liberal in populist clothing. She wants more gun control. She loves Obamacare. She thinks the war on coal and affordable electricity is a great idea.
Maybe that's why Obama likes her.
Several reliable journalists have reported that Obama wants Warren, not former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to be the Democrats' nominee for president in 2016. Valerie Jarrett, Obama's top political adviser, reportedly has met with Warren to inform her of White House support.
A key reason for that is Obama's belief Warren will continue pursuing his policies.
Now, Hillary Clinton is far from a conservative. If anything, she may be more liberal than her husband, ex-President Bill Clinton.
It says something that she is not far enough to the left for Obama, however.
So, on Monday, Tennant will, in effect, be trying to convince West Virginians they should vote for her because Obama's favorite for president, Elizabeth Warren, likes her.
Lots of luck with that.
About all Tennant needs now to put the seal on a crushing defeat is for Senate Majority Leader Harry?Reid, Obama's faithful servant on Capitol Hill, to support her.
Oh, wait. Reid's leadership PAC already has given $10,000 to Tennant.

A woman's pregnancy is usually broken into three trimesters. What can you expect to happen to your body and your baby's development during each trimester? Look at the breakdown below.
First Trimester
During the first three months of pregnancy, a woman may experience "morning sickness" as well as fatigue and breast tenderness. During this time she also will make her first doctor appointments and begin prenatal care.
According to the Mayo Clinic, during the first three months the baby's brain, spinal cord and organs begin to form, as well as his or her toes and fingers. During this time the baby's heart will also begin to beat.
Second Trimester
The mom-to-be should start to feel better during months four to six of her pregnancy. During this second trimester she may experience larger breasts, skin changes and her belly should start to get bigger.
According to the Mayo Clinic, the baby will start to move more – being able to kick and make facial expressions. The baby will also be able to hear.
Third Trimester
The Mayo Clinic states that the third trimester can be the most challenging for the mother. During the last few months she may suffer from a sore back and swollen ankles. She also will endure frequent doctor visits to check the baby's positioning and get her ready for delivery.
During months seven to nine, according to the Mayo Clinic, the baby will start opening his or her eyes and start to gain weight. The baby will be considered to be full term by week 37.

This testimony is one that truly changed my life and my perspective of God, as my Father. The whole time is still indelibly imprinted on my memory–like videotape I can rewind and replay.
In February 2004 in East Texas, Chris had just come through a life-threatening rupture of his appendix at Christmas-time. We had three children ages 7 months, 4 and 6.
Our church had rented the theater for members to come and watch The Passion of the Christ. So we dropped the kids at the church nursery (a little late) and headed over to the theater.
My stomach was in knots. I did not want to see it at all and was ready to bolt. We walked into the theater and I saw another movie poster (I think it was 13 going on 30). And I prayed, "Lord, can't I go and see that one? I don't want to see this movie. I just don't."
But I felt Him prompt me to push ahead and face my greatest fear–seeing a very true to life crucifixion of my dear Savior. I did not think I could stand it. I was sure they'd have to take me out of the theater crying and sobbing.
Then as we sat nearly on the front row, because the house was packed, I felt His Presence with me. I sat and watched Jesus pray in the garden of Gethsemane… A stillness came over my frame, unlike any I had known before, and I began to hear Jesus speak to me in my spirit.
Scripture quotations, songs, and words interacting in my mind with what I was seeing. I even was smiling! There were times when I heard, "It didn't happen this way." There were songs playing in my mind–"Were you there, when they crucified my LORD?" It felt like one of those interactive movies at Disneyland. I was stunned. I was enamored. I was thankful. I was loved.
The words "by my stripes they are healed" took on a whole new meaning. The crowd shouting, "Give us Barabbus" was like someone today saying, "Give us Bin Laden." The sinless, spotless, Lamb of God was traded for someone like me–a sinful, wretched thief, liar, cheater, murderer and so much more.
He whispered, "I did this for you, Holly." And I nodded my head with a single tear. It was the only tear I shed during that time, which in itself is amazing. Then, as He died on the cross, I began to hear, "There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins; and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains; and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains." The entire song played in my mind.
It was amazing. It was to me a miraculous experience. I didn't know He loved me like that. I knew, of course, that He loved me–that He saved me from my sins by His blood shed on the cross. I knew that! What I didn't know is that, if I'd let Him, He'd daily walk with me through trials. He'd be my companion, my friend. He'd be my joy, my peace, my strength.
That day in a little theater in East Texas, my Jesus held me through the entire movie. I needed Him so. I still do! The hardest part of the time was my seemingly "inappropriate" smiling. I couldn't explain it to a soul. People were weeping loudly for goodness sake! And here I was smiling. The smile was one of secrets shared. And they are mine to have with Him. They are yours to have with Him, too.
Closer than a friend or brother is my Jesus.
Deuteronomy 29:29 says, "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law."
1 Corinthians 4:1-2 "So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the secret things of God. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful."
Friday is indeed a day to be somber in remembering His sacrifice. But, we hold out Life to others in the secret trust that we have in Christ Jesus–we know that Sunday came and Jesus changed the world. Now go and receive it–let Him entrust Himself to you. Then GO and TELL it. Be faithful to share your secret that keeps you smiling!

18 April 2012
(There's a lot of stuff in this post, so I'm burying it beneath a jump - no reason to make the whole blog take that long to load up).
Now, ever since the day Serenity opened in 2005, I've known exactly what my favorite shot was; but I still felt a bit like a cheater for including here. Because the shot in question is 4 minutes and 24 seconds long. And it's also at least two separate takes that have been digitally stitched, with another two places at least two other spots where a seam could be hidden.
So I dithered and hemmed and hawed and thought about going for absolutely anything else, and in the end I didn't. Because it reads as one shot, and it is not remotely incidental that it is all one shot, for reasons I promise to dig into as best as can. In the meanwhile, here it is: starting just over ten minutes into the film, when all we know is that a mysterious government assassin (Chiwetel Eijiofor) is hunting a dark-haired crazy psychic girl, River Tam (Summer Glau):
(I do beg you to watch it fullscreen; it turns out that uploading videos straight through Blogger, which I've never done before, actually results in pretty decent quality)
For those of you who didn't want to watch it all, and also so we'll all have a reference point, let's walk back through that. Just so you know, we cut in from a glorious 360 pan around the outside of the CGI spaceship Serenity, closing in on the front window through which we see Captain Mal Reynolds (Nathan Fillion), and then there's a bang.
On that bang, we jump into the bridge to see Mal having a very restrained freak-out.
The shot pulls back and widens into a two-shot to show Mal and pilot Wash (Alan Tudyk) having a nice friendly banter about what the heck is going on - it's awfully bad, but both men are willing to deal with it by joking (the main characteristic of Whedon's writing, and honestly, one that sometimes gets too annoying for me to deal with it, but rarely if ever in Firefly/Serenity).
Mal storms down the hallway and meets the requisite dumb tough guy of his crew, Jayne (Adam Baldwin); they also banter, but it's a lot meaner.
The camera swings around Mal, leading him into the ship rather than following, and he stops to briefly exchange words with Zoë (Gina Torres), his second-in-command, and Wash's wife. This is the first non-bantering conversation we've seen, reflecting his considerable respect for her abilities as a soldier.
Further down, the camera drops behind again-
-and in the engine room, we meet mechanic Kaylee (Jewel Staite).
Right outside, Mal almost walks right into Dr. Simon Tam (Sean Maher), who is the least bantery of all the folks on the ship: he is indeed, downright pissed.
Simon and Mal have a rather acrimonious conversation as the captain heads further into the ship (the one relatively obvious stitch is here), dragging the doctor and us with him.
In the cargo hold, Mal resolves things by asserting his authority and storming off. Note Jayne and Zoë in the background - I'll be getting back to that in a second.
We continue with Simon as he storms up to the top level, where his sister River is lying in a sort of trance. The shot ends on her face, the character we've been led to believe is the key to Whatever is going on in the movie punctuating the end of its most sustained individual moment.
As a scene, this is a terrific bit of exposition: one of the hardest things for sequels with a rabid fanbase to get right is the part where the narrative world and core characters are introduced in a way that is clear on its own terms for newbies while never talking down to established fans. Serenity doesn't do this flawlessly throughout, but it's definitely one of the better examples I can think of (compare and contrast e.g. The X-Files, which fails on both counts: inscrutable as a standalone, dull and repetitive within the greater mythology). And the manner in which this sequence introduces us to each character one at a time, gives us a quick sense of their personality (Wash is flippant, Jayne is violent, etc.), and moves on.
Of course, we're discussing this as a shot, not a scene, and thought it's easy to confuse the two since they occupy the exact same space in the film, they're not identical.
So, then, why is it so damn important that this all be in one nominally uninterrupted shot?
A number of reasons. One is that it's cool - long takes are always cool. This is indisputably the worst reason.
But let's run with it for a second: Whedon is basically showing off. And in showing off in this one way, he's underlining the cinematic nature of Serenity compared to the show Firefly: implying through the sheer ambition and scope of this very early sequence that he's got a much bigger sandbox now and he's willing to use it; demonstrating, in essence, that he's not going to bring a TV director mentality to his very first feature film. So on the one level, this shot is a statement of intent.
Secondly, it is a magnificent way of keeping the sequence's energy screwed all the way up: while quick editing can be a good way to ratchet up tension, so is busy camerawork that runs around trying to keep up with the characters, and long takes are such a high-wire act that they inherently make the actors seem more on-edge and that rubs off on the viewer.
Thirdly, it is the most efficient way of exploring the physical space of Serenity, the ship that gives the film its title and remains far and away its most important location. We never get to see nearly this much of it all at once ever again, but the memory of this shot lingers for the rest of the 118-minute film; we're always keenly aware that this room connects to that, granting the location a weight and reality that's wildly different from most science fiction movies, which often announce the artifice of their sets a little bit too enthusiastically. And the little bit at the end where Zoë and Jayne pop up in the cargo deck, having taken another route to get there, is a genius little gesture to point out that there is another route, and that as much of Serenity as we see in this shot, there's even more to see.
Most importantly, though, is the work the shot does in tying all the characters together: it's no accident that the first time we see any of these people other than Simon and River, and the first time we see even them in "the present", is in one unbroken flowing take. Whedon is famously obsessed with family units: groups of people thrown together by chance, that grow to love one another as they become more familiar. It is the theme that unites all of his work. Serenity opens in a moment of crisis for its family unit, both physical (the ship is about to explode) and psychological (the rift between Mal and Simon has widened to a breaking point). Things are quite literally falling apart; but Whedon, who views interpersonal unity as sacrosanct, wants to enforce how in the face of this, everyone is still together, still a family: and so he introduces all of them and their ship in one uninterrupted flow. For editing puts characters in boxes, while long takes stress how they all occupy the same space, and for all the coolness and tension and technical dazzlement of this open shot, it's this final reason - the way the shot ties all the characters into one and guarantees us, the audience, that they're together through thick and thin - is why this isn't just my favorite shot in Serenity, but my favorite moment in Joss Whedon's whole damn career.

Great post. I still remember your review of it; that's when i decided to become a regular.
And OMG is Blogger freaking annoying with its multiple capchas/logins
- Tim said...
My goodness, that review was a long time ago; before I really think I knew what the hell I was doing with myself. But I appreciate that you recall it all this time later.
And yeah, Blogger sucks, but it's worth it to me not to have dating sites and term paper salesmen dotting the comment sections.
- Ryan T. said...
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Basically. I was tempted myself to talk about this shot, but I felt overwhelmed in actually giving it a worthy post. But you did such a wonderful job. Love your two last points, getting to explore the space of Serenity and highlighting the family unit that is its crew. Well done.
- Squasher88 said...
Great analysis.
- Alex said...
Well said. It is a long, interesting, fluid, and absorbing shot that is a wonderful to reintegrate the characters back into the story. I also believe that it is related to the last shot in Firefly, in Objects in Space, where there was a long, single camera shot showing all the characters.
I think that Whedon wanted to pick up where he left off.
- NATHANIEL R said...
Tim, I must thank you again for being such a regular. To me you're now just a part of the my own routin with this series. Select a movie, write my piece, wonder about what Tim will say.
Wonderful piece and I'm so happy this shot (which I wanted to choose before I got all "stop being so obsessive about continuous shots" to myself) got such a deserving tribute.
- Tim said...
Aw, heck, thank you for coming up with such a great idea for a series in the first place!

We collaborate with a number of foundations to advance our educational objectives for Latino students across the country. Our joint projects help fund outreach and scholarship programs and provide general operating support, which is vital to our continuing efforts. We are proud to name the following foundations as our partners and include a brief description of how each is working with us. These are some of the projects underway, listed by Partner Foundation.
Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting (ALPFA)
Established in 1972, ALPFA is the oldest national Latino professional association dedicated to enhancing opportunities for CPAs, accountants, and other finance-industry professionals and students. ALPFA serves the community through student chapters' professional development programs, by awarding scholarships, and by providing access to HSF's industry network of professional members, sponsors, and students, as well as additional resources.

In collaboration with the University of California, Riverside and California State University, San Bernardino, HSF provides multi-year scholarships and support services to a select group of students. Funding from CAFC supports students from the Inland Empire region of California who attend these institutions. Each selected student is eligible for up to four years of funding and access to specialized support.
Goizueta Foundation
Funding from the Goizueta Foundation provides scholarships and retention services to 240 students throughout the state of Georgia. There are two cohorts of students, with each student eligible for up to $10,000 in scholarships over four years. Each recipient also receives individualized coaching provided by HSF partner Beyond 12 to encourage persistence and graduation.
Peierls Foundation
The Peierls Foundation provides scholarship and retention support to students from Colorado and Texas. This program is open to students who have a minimum of a 2.5 GPA. To date, four cohorts of students from these targeted areas have benefitted from access to multiple years of scholarship funding, as well as assistance from a dedicated HSF staff member.
Walton Family Foundation
The Bilingual Teachers Initiative, launched in 2012 as a five-year collaborative effort of HSF, the University of Arkansas, Northwest Arkansas Community College, and the Springdale School District is funded in part by a generous grant from the Walton Family Foundation. It seeks to increase the number of bilingual teachers in the Northwest Arkansas area. This region is seeing an increase in its Latino population, but lacks sufficient numbers of teachers prepared to serve this student cohort. Scholarships are available specifically for individuals from the area who plan to become bilingual teachers in the Springdale School District.

There is a time in our lives when we stop thinking about our own works and start thinking and caring about other people's works. This does not mean our work is done. On the contrary, it means there is still a lot to be done and that now we are ready to go deep on our work.
If we would have to give an example, we would call up the Portuguese architect Manuel Maia Gomes, who drew the project called House Antero de Quental that involved converting the former home of a nineteenth century poet and philosopher into a literary centre.
The interior was completely demolished, remaining only part of the outer walls. Its original shape was completely destroyed in order to provide larger rooms, although maintaining the basic domestic typology. The big attraction though is the spiral staircase, which goes up through two storeys and into a tower and is surrounded by shelves that will hold about 6.000 books.
This is not just a pretty architecture project embraced by the well-know photographer Fernando Guerra that sent us these pictures. This is not only a text about some books and a funny stair. This is us sharing with you this piece of art that was re-built to host an institution in charge of spreading the literary heritage of local and national writers, philosophers and poets.
Side by side with those stairs and in each of its shelves, Portuguese history will live as long as the lights that illuminate them don't go down …

As part of a national 2012 celebration of John Cage's centennial year, the Taubman presents John Cage: The Sight of Silence, featuring over 60 watercolors and works on paper created at the Mountain Lake Workshop in Blacksburg, Virginia. Best known as a groundbreaking composer, musician, and avant-garde thinker, Cage (1912-1992) was also a prolific visual artist who wove Eastern philosophy with elements of chance as a way to free up the creative process. With additional handwritten musical scores, illustrated notations, and videos of performances also on view, the exhibition provides insight into one of the twentieth century's most unconventional and influential artists.
Additionally, in the spirit of Cage, the exhibition was installed using Cage's "chance operations" approach, allowing the throw of the dice determine where works were to be hung on the walls.
This exhibition is co-curated by Ray Kass, Taubman Adjunct Curator of Southeastern Art, and Marshall N. Price, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the National Academy Museum and School, New York, NY. A hardbound publication by Kass - The Sight of Silence: John Cage's Complete Watercolors - accompanies the show, with essays and recollections that explore Cage's method of "chance operations" as well as his writing, music, and theater.

John Cage: The Sight of Silence is sponsored in part by the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, Roanoke Arts Commission and the City of Roanoke.

Wood BOE to consider teacher's suspension
PARKERSBURG -Members of the Wood County Board of Education will vote this evening on the suspension of a Parkersburg High School teacher.
Board members will consider the recommended retroactive suspension of a PHS professional employee. The employee is not being identified by officials and is listed only by an identification number on tonight's agenda.
Wood County Schools Superintendent Pat Law said the employee's name will not be revealed until after the vote. Law said officials were given legal advice not to identify employees until after such a vote.
"You are putting public opinion on this individual whether they are deemed guilty or not before the board has its vote," Law said. "They are not guilty until the board actually votes on them."
Law said he suspended the employee in question without pay between Jan. 10-16. The board is voting to uphold the suspension. If the suspension is rejected, the employee receives back pay and their record is expunged.
Wood County Schools Assistant Superintendent Sue Woodward said officials want the board to make a decision based on the facts of the case.
"If there has been coverage by the press, the notoriety of that action is taken into account. By law, we are supposed to take into account the actionable offense."
Last month PHS made international news when the "Bad Kid Fort" incident was brought to light. Beth Dean and Jeff Richards, whose son was the victim in the incident, are upset the teacher received only a week's suspension. The teacher involved in the incident has not been identified.
Dean spoke to board members at the Jan. 22 meeting. She spoke for more than 15 minutes – sometimes through tears – recounting her son's ordeal. The board took no action on the issue and spoke only after the public comments had been aired.
Board member Jim Fox said board members cannot comment on actions taken against personnel but assured Dean her concerns were "appropriately addressed" and receive the proper attention from administrators.
The board is also poised to hire Mike Eddy as the football coach at Parkersburg South High School.
Last month Eddy – and his wife, Joni -were hired as educators in the school system as multicategorical educators. Bob Harris, assistant superintendent of pupil and personnel services, said both had taught previously in the school system.
Eddy, who previously served as assistant coach at PHS, taught five years in the county (2005-09) before moving to teach at Gallia Academy. Eddy's wife also worked in Wood County (2005-09) as well as teaching stints in Tyler and Jackson counties. She's spent the last two years in Gallipolis, according to Harris.
Harris said when the two were hired back into the county school system they regained their seniority. But Harris said their seniority did not factor into the decision to hire them.
"Seniority is not a factor when they apply," Harris said.
Harris said multicategorical special education programs is an area of need in the school system.
"We have a lot of openings in multicategorical programs, which involve students that have more than one exceptionality."

"I wanted to thank Catholic Answers for doing such a great job in defending the Catholic Faith. I find your tracts have helped me to more easily explain Catholicism at work and in online discussions."
"That is our desire, to be tortured for Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and so to be saved, for that will give us salvation and firm confidence at the more terrible universal tribunal of Our Lord and Savior."

Eastern Canadian utility eyes US power sales
MONTPELIER An official with an eastern Canadian electric utility that wants to sell its excess power in the United States says there are more deals in the works for new transmission lines through New England to reach those markets.
For now, though, the general manager of energy marketing for Nalcor Energy, based in St. Johns, Newfoundland, which is in the process of building thousands of megawatts of hydroelectric and wind-power capacity in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, isnt identifying any of the proposals that would help the utility sell its electricity to potential customers in the region and New York.
Some of that power could be transmitted to the U.S. via Quebec. But Nalcor is preparing to build undersea power lines that would cross from the mainland of Labrador, to the island of Newfoundland and then just over 100 miles of another undersea connection between Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.
There the line would connect to that provinces electric grid and eventually reach the U.S. border in eastern Maine.
Getting us to the border of New England is interesting, but it doesnt do the job, said Greg Jones, the general manager of energy marketing for Nalcor. To bring 2,200 megawatts of power or 1,000 megawatts of power into Maine really doesnt do much for us. We need a large customer base that recognizes the value that long-term, stable prices will bring.
At present, there are no public proposals that would add a new transmission line across Maine, but discussions are under way, Jones said.
We are engaged with some of the major players in the New England states, Jones said.
He made the comments Friday, a day after a New York company announced it was proposing a 150-mile power line that would run from the Canadian border down Lake Champlain and then east across Vermont, where it could link with the New England power grid.
The same individuals behind the Lake Champlain proposal released this week are planning a similar project that would run down the western side of Lake Champlain and then the Hudson River before delivering power to New York City. In New Hampshire, the Northern Pass project would build a 180-mile power line from Quebec through the North Country to take power south.
Its part of a broader push to find ways to deliver eastern Canadian power to U.S. markets. The issue is well known among utility professionals and it is a regular topic of conversation at meetings of the Eastern Canadian Premiers and New England Governors.
Generally, since at least 1980, Hydro-Quebec and other eastern Canadian utilities and their provincial governments have been pretty clear about their interest to export power to the United States, said Rich Sedeno, the director of U.S. programs for the Regulatory Assistance Project, which focuses on energy issues.
Any energy project developer has somewhere in their process a big map and the maps shows sources of supply and demand, he said. Whether theyre trying to build gas pipelines or electric transmission they are trying to figure out how to be the low-cost deliverer of energy to demand centers.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

Brilliant observation. I agree.
Gareth Ellis is man of the match in the NRL's Sunday prime telecast
Posted 19 August 2010 - 10:08 PM
Brilliant observation. I agree.
Posted 20 August 2010 - 02:01 PM
This is a foolish reply. Very foolish.
Burgess is a slightly different case. He had been outstanding on occasion when playing in Britain. His Four Nations final performance was superb. But he was inconsistent in the level of his performances. Now he is at South Sydney there is greater consistency in his outstanding performances. Now he plays a great role at Souths that has made him a key figure in the squad. He ranks with Isaac Luke, Dave Taylor and Nathan Merritt as one of the team's stars. (go here: http://www.rabbitohs.com.au/ Sam is the first cab off the rank in the list of club stars.) Also Sam Burgess is now a media celebrity in Australia. This is a sign of how much he has developed in less than one year in the NRL.
I agree that both Burgess and Ellis have looked well within their depth in the OZ game and both have easily risen to the fitness levels required, especially Ellis. Sam is trying too hard and is requiring a subs spell in each game, when he paces himself better he will become better still.
However although both of them look good neither of them are the stand out forwards of the NRL!
I watched the game Wests V Panthers and whilst not wanting to pour cold water on the fact that Gareth got the MOM award, I thought that was a bit wrong.
Robbie Farah was the best man for Wests, by a mile and the best forward on view was Luke Lewis, but as far as I was concerned the MOM was the Penrith F/B Michael Gordon who played fantastic, even in a beaten side.
Hannibal: there are no Aussie Supermen.
Grow up and simply accept the fact that compared with the NRL the S/L is a poorer standard competition, like it or lump it that is undeniable.
The thread should have ended here as this is 100% correct.

They must be doing something right or SL must be doing something wrong. Otherwise, the results would read differently. Fobbing any complimentary comment about the NRL with a counterproductive and irrelevant quip about Kleenex is just ignoring reality.
Having said that, I don't think this year's NRL season has been a vintage one. I've seen many more poor games this year than I'd expect. Ellis and Burgess are playing well, but in teams that must be very frustrating to support, due to their inconsistency.

Burgess - Bigger, stronger, faster, better handler, better defence
Ellis - Better defence, faster, equally strong runner
Watmough - Faster, better attacker, equal in defence
Gallen - More creative, better defender
Blair - See Burgess, but not quite so much.
Thaiday is far from a bad player - he is a good runner with a good offload, but I find him one-dimensional and rather static in defence.
If he is in Australia's starting XIII for the four nations, then I like the chances of England and NZ.

That's my top five back rowers. Thaiday is excellent in attack but as MrPosh said a bit static in defence. Burgess is going to become a top player but isn't there yet, just makes too many errors(both in attack and defence) that cost his team. Gallen is simply superb, in my opinion the best forward in the world by quite a way at the minute. I've always rated Watmough and although he hasn't had the best of seasons he is still a cracking player. Creagh and Ellis are very similar players, they turn up every week putting in consistent performances all year round. Luke Lewis at Penrith is very skillful and plays almost likea traditional loose forward linking the forwards and backs

Westwood is a good solid player and would hold his own in any competition he plays in and I can't think of many club sides he wouldn't improve. He also didn't disgrace himself playing internationally. However, he will never be a 'world class' player.
Tomkins has all the tools and, crucially, time on his side. With the right attitude he'll be amongst the world's best.

Burgess could be a true great. He's currently not there as he doesn't play enough minutes.
Ellis is a very very good player. He runs great lines and he makes good defensive decisions. A bit limited in attack but i think that's the way Wests play as he's good footwork.
Watmough, whilst great in attack is too much of a turnstile.
Gallen is class. Love him. Does too much work for Cronulla though!
Blair.. Not a massive fan; i like Creagh though.
Thaiday is wonderful and wins every collision.
To be honest, it's all personal preference. I just wanted to stimulate a debate.
Westwood is a very very good player and Tomkins has the ability, physique and stamina to join them and maybe go beyond.

Gareth Ellis is coached by one of the greatest rugby league coaches of the modern era, Tim Sheens. The remarkable Mr Sheens is a coach who has won three Australian premierships with the Canberra Raiders (1989, 1990, 1994) and one with the Wests Tigers (2005). His player-pupils have included Mal Meninga, Laurie Daley, Ricky Stuart, Glen Lazarus, Ruben Wiki, David Furner, Bradley Clyde, John Ferguson, Ken Nagas, Benji Marshall, Scott Prince, Brett Hodgson, Robbie Farah, and Patrick Richards. Tim Sheens is now the coach of World Champions Australia. How could Sheens' superior wisdom and experience not have had an effect on Gareth Ellis?
Sam Burgess is coached by John Lang, who coached Cronulla from 1994-2001 (taking them to the semi finals every year except two), and who later won an NRL premiership with the Penrith Panthers in 2003. His player-pupils have included Preston Campbell, David Peachey, Richie Barnett, Craig Gower, Ryan Girdler, Rhys Wesser, Luke Lewis, and Tony Puletua. How could Lang's wisdom and experience not have had an effect on Sam Burgess?
Coaching facilities in Australia of course far outstrip those available in Britain. These also influence player performance.

Giraffes have returned to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.
Conner and Dasher arrived on Monday from the Binder Park Zoo in Michigan. Their new home will be the Africa safari exhibit, which opens in May.
For the time being, they're in quarantine in a new barn at the zoo, out of sight of zoo visitors.
The 3-year-old reticulated giraffes are male and will join 100 other animals in the 43-acre exhibit, including zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, ostrich, storks, lions, cheetahs and monkeys.
Giraffes were removed from the zoo in 2005 after exhibits changed.

The distances and terrain - the wide deserts, the impenetrable mountains - make it a difficult venture, even for the legendarily speedy Mongols. But the greatest problem is confronting complex fortifications, a way of fighting a settled urban population - which the nomadic Mongolians have never come across. Finding ways to do that, and keeping his tribes together in a strange environment, presents another new and exciting challenge for Genghis Khan. Not only must Genghis succeed in this incredible campaign, but he must also reconcile the restless factions among his own generals, mediate between his ambitious brothers, and cope with his own reactions to his growing sons.
The young warrior has become a notable and victorious military commander of thousands. He must now learn to become a great leader of peoples of many different races and religions. Lords of the Bow is a deeply satisfying novel, epic in scope, convincing, and fascinating in its narration of an extraordinary story.

"Wonderful, historical fiction"
After listening to the Emperor series by Conn Iggulden, which I enjoyed enormously, I wasn't sure about listening to this book series. Thankfully at the recommendation of my brother I did.
Okay, it starts off a bit slow and sometimes you find yourself thinking who is he again? So many names, I got a little mixed up with the characters early on. Please don't let this put you off purchasing or listening, this book / series is absolutely brilliant. I found myself taking the long round to places I was going just so I could listen a bit longer!
Just incredible how Conn manages weave his stories around some facts and create a compelling story.
"Great listen"
Mixes fact with fiction and really brings the events to life and left me really wanting to know more, it does not read like a history lesson at all though, a very entertaining story - the history is very well kept intact here, it is not altered to a degree where it is a problem. Well narrated, excellent characters. Highly recommend this book and I really do hope we have more available from this author very soon at Audible.
"A great series"
This series by Conn Iggulden is not my usual genre but I'm loving it. In the first book we saw how Gengis's hard childhood forged him to be the brutal warrior that brought together the Mongol tribes.
This second in the series is just as thrilling if a little bloodthirsty and it tells the story of his conquest of the Chin Emperor. The Mongol people are a hard people who live by simple rules. As an army they are really mobile not needing much in the way of supply lines because they drink blood from their animals and eat dried curds from their milk. The bows they use are very advanced compared to their enemies and can shoot much further. The warriors themselves are tough and fierce. Genghis is ruthless in his warfare taking no prisoners and striking fear into his enemies.
The narration is excellent and I found it useful for knowing how to pronounce some of the Mongol names. I tended to switch between listening and reading.
This is the first Iggulden book I have read and I loved it. I like the mix of history and fiction and the narration was very strong. Highly recommended
"Wrong Reader"
With audiobooks the reader is as important as the writer. S/he can make or break the book. I fear this reader has broken it. After hearing Jason Isaacs rendering of 'Wolf of the Plains', I was keen to listen to the next instalment in the series but failed to check whether the second book was also read by Jason Isaacs. Big mistake. This reader cannot decide whether to put on an American accent or stick to British, and the mix of sounds is intensely IRRITATING. I am not even sure I shall last the course.
Well written and more important for an audio book narrated very well indeed. The story brings to life the history of this time and makes for an exciting listen, carefully blended with just the right amount of action and connivance so good I had to listen to it a second time.
"couldn't stop listening"
I bought this for our family holiday. We couldn't stop listening to it. This is a compelling story well told. Highly recommended. I read his trilogy about caesar and knew he was a good writer. We need more form this author.
"Fascinating story"
An intriguing, informative and well narrated audiobook. This story is rich with history narrated in such a personal story like method, worth a read!
"A must listen for historical fiction fans"
This is the sequel to the vastly entertaining Wolf of the Plains and is the best book in the Conqueror series imo. The battle of Badgers Mouth is one of the great battles in historical fiction. The world of the Mongols is barbaric, cold and tough yet one the listener inhabits with pride and joy over the course of the book. Those pesky Chin will pay...the arrows are flying and they cannot be stopped. Listen here and you will not be disappointed.
"A must read, sorry, listen..."
Very good story... As are all Conn's books...
Especially as they are mostly from historical fact. Buy all his books :)
"Great story and excellent narration!"
Having read the Conn Iggulden Julius Caesar series I'm not new to his ability to bring history to life and this book lives up to the high expectations I have of his books.Bringing the characters to life with their varied personalities and adding minor villains and heroes to give depth the story means it rolls along brilliantly.I listened to the abridged version for the first book (first time listening) but so glad I have swapped to the unabridged version since.

The Population Data Sheet, published annually by ESCAP, features a range of key indicators on population dynamics- including population size and growth rates, fertility rate, life expectancy and age structure, at country, subregional and regional levels. It is a useful tool for reference by researchers, policymakers and other stakeholders active in the field of population and development.
Indonesia has enjoyed solid economic growth since 2010, supported (until recently) by strong exports of primary commodities, in particular fuels and minerals. In contrast with the commodities sector, the manufacturing sector has lost competitiveness and the country has struggled to nurture broad-based industrialization, including through integration into international production networks.
Despite the widely reported phenomenal growth in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the Asia-Pacific region, a new study by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), has found that broadband capabilities and access are highly concentrated in East and North-East Asia.
Firms face difference obstacles for their development. This paper investigates which obstacle is the largest to firms' productivity using micro-level data for the Asia and Pacific region. Access to finance shows the most robust result in our investigation, being stronger for SMEs. Removing SMEs' credit constraints seem to be a powerful tool to promote economic growth in the region, particularly in the manufacturing sector.
During the last three and half decades, China has achieved unprecedented economic growth, with the average annual GDP growth rate being 9.3% for 1978 to 2014. At that rate, real GDP doubles every seven years. China's real per capita GDP has risen from only 5.5% of the U.S. level in 1978 to about 25% in 2014. In 2014 the per capita GDP has reached about $7584 US dollars (current price, World Development Indicators), or $12608 international dollar (2011-year PPP constant price, World Development Indicators), which is about 31% of the level of high income OECD countries.
Most of the developing countries are confronted with scarcity of natural and financial resources and, therefore, rapid economic growth using up the resource endowment of the economy comes at the expense of the future growth and poses a number of challenges for the economy.
This paper is motivated by the need to identify potential links between productivity in the rural and agriculture sector in The A-P with a view to proposing policies and strategies on how strengthening productivity in the rural and agriculture sector will contribute to the realization of SDGs. In order to identify broad regional trends, the paper analyses the circumstances of 23 countries of the ESCAP region , but policy discussions are limited to a selected few from among the 23 countries.
As governments transition towards e-government in Asia and the Pacific, there is growing acknowledgement of the role that e-government could play to harness ICTs for women's empowerment and gender equality. However, much of e-government policy and implementation still do not take into account the differentiated access to, and impact of, technology for men and women.
Digitalisation has enabled the emergence of low value consignments trade and has established a platform for SMEs in developing countries to participate in global trade. However, with companies involved in low value consignments trade being more sensitive to trade costs, and e-commerce particularly hinging on efficient delivery, transportation and payment systems, trade costs entailing high fixed cost components and lacking infrastructure can easily make trade uneconomic.
Older persons, particularly the oldest-old, are the fastest growing population segment in India and many of them require or will require long-term care in the future. The paper discusses policies on population ageing in India, such as the National Policy on Older Persons and the National Programme for Health Care for the Elderly. It further discusses the health status of older persons in India and projects future care needs.

Remembering 9/11
SEPT. 11, 2001 – Former President George Bush said it was a day Americans must never forget.
On that day 12 years ago, terrorists attacked our land and shattered our feeling that we were free from outside aggression. Countless people lost their lives and many others were injured.
Three days later, President Bush declared a "National Day of Prayer and Remembrance." Once again it has taken a tragedy of major proportions to reawaken in us a feeling of patriotism – to remind us that we need God and how much we rely on Him for strength and comfort in difficult times.
Our churches were filled as we came together to pray. There was a feeling of national pride and unity. People from all walks of life came together to offer assistance. Blood drives were held everywhere and supplies and donations were sent to the affected areas. Volunteers responded in record numbers.
As time went on and things got better, we more or less forgot about the tragedy. Oh yes, we remember it when the anniversary comes around. All kinds of thoughts run through our minds like will it ever happen again and are we better prepared if it should happen. And again in a few days, we forget about that tragedy and wait for another anniversary to recall it.
Our nation is engaged in a battle against terrorism and it is not an easy one.
Sept. 11, 2001 is a day that Americans must never forget. Too many of us have already forgotten what happened on Feb. 26, 1993 when the first World Trade Center attack took place.
It is a comforting thought to believe that a nation at prayer will be a nation at peace. These are difficult times for our country. Like President Bush once said, "God's ways are not always our ways."
It is time once again for the people of our nation to get back on our knees and pray that peace will come to our world. Wake up, silent majority and let our voices be heard throughout the land. God must be a welcome guest in our homes and in our schools and public buildings. Our family life must be strong. We cannot continue to break God's laws and expect Him to bless our country, and we must continue to pray for peace and for an end to violence and terrorism.
Let us never forget 9/11, the attack on the World Trade Center or Pearl Harbor. Let us resolve to pray and work for peace and justice in our world and in our families. Let the feeling of patriotism continue to burn brightly in our hearts. Let us ask God to protect the members of our armed forces and bring them home safe and soon. May he continue to bless our country, keep us safe and strong and forever at peace.

Morici: What Ails Apple? The Simple March of History
Apple's remarkable success was premised on being first and better with a succession of new products, dating back to the earliest computers to smartphones and tablets. It was greatly aided by a superior operating system, which provided a more elegant and user friendly experience than rival Microsoft (MSFT) offerings, and the fact Apple both wrote the software and designed it products.
Apple customers amalgamated into an elite cult. Apple products became the choice of a large segment of high-income consumers and more moderate folks whose iPhones were an expression of everyday luxury that the BMW they could not afford did not provide.
Those permitted Apple to be both high-priced and ubiquitous, yielding big margins and its huge cash horde. However, along the way, Apple made mistakes only its market dominance at the high end would permit a firm to tolerate.
It offshored and outsourced too much manufacturing, separating in critical ways product design and manufacturing. That slowed and screened the feedback from the latter to the former, causing troublesome glitches in new products such as iPads that overheat and iPhones with inadequate antennas.Those are the sorts of issues that are better avoided by keeping the manufacturing of critical components and product assembly under more direct control.
Also, Apple became a high cost producer of computers and handheld devices, and vulnerable to competitors that could offer a comparable consumer experience at a lower price. For years, Apple avoided that fate, because it competed with the likes of Dell (DELL) , Honeywell (HON) and IBM (IBM) , which were either not much interested in cutting-edge design or whose bureaucracies and other business interests made them less nimble afoot.
Apple led, and other computer manufacturers followed with cheaper mass-appeal products. However, equally important, Apple's competitors depended on operating systems designed by Microsoft, whose numerous problems with antitrust authorities indicate, was more interested in stifling competition within the mass appeal software market than providing elegant and trouble-free customer experiences.
In a nutshell, Apple offered refined, consumer-friendly products, while those run on the Microsoft platform were often clumsy and mediocre. That worked until the plane of competition shifted to handheld devices and Google (GOOG) entered the scene with Android.
I don't want to get into the debate over whether Android or Apple smartphones offer the better experience. Having tested both, I admit both have their points. However, Droids offer at least a comparable customer experience, are made by several firms, and one among them, Samsung designs its own components and manufactures phones.
