Camp Layout
Flora and Fauna
The surrounding area offers excellent opportunities for game viewing. On the drive from Orpen to Satara herds of zebra and wildebeest graze next to the road, while giraffe, impala, warthog and elephant are common.
Turning off from this road to the Timbavati river northwards through pleasant scenery to Olifants camp, lion, cheetah and leopard are likely to be seen.
Standing in the dry open plains of the central area, it is permeated with the unhurried restfulness so characteristic of the bushveld. In camp, tall acacias and marula trees share the grounds with red bush willows, while small rock gardens overgrown with aloes and Barberton daisies separate the huts.

Birding in Orpen
Orpen and the surrounding area is a good region for general bushveld birds and 5 of the "big 6" are regularly seen and breed in the area, with only the Pel's Fishing Owl being absent.
The plains immediately east of Orpen Camp are one of the more reliable places to see the nomadic Senegal (Lesser Black-winged) Plover (Search at the turn off to Tamboti and Marula Camps). Montagu's Harrier has also been recorded on a few occasions in this grassland area.
White-faced and Comb (Knob-billed) Ducks, Little Grebe (Dabchick) and Lesser Moorhen breed in the flooded vegetation at Rabelais Pan. 1999 saw the first Kruger breeding record of Painted Snipe here.
African Rail and African Crake are regularly recorded in dense, marshy areas, particularly on the dirt roads around Talamati. These species early in the morning or late afternoon or on overcast, rainy days when they are foraging on the edge of the road. Fairfield Waterhole near Talamati is a regular haunt. Also just outside Talamati Camp Saddle-billed Stork breed. Of the other storks, Wooly-necked, Open-billed (African Openbill), White and Black may be seen, the latter two being locally common when food is abundant. Marabou Stork is regularly seen at the waterhole outside Orpen Camp.
The Orpen area hosts a wealth of raptors, especially in the summer months. Tawny (breeding outside of the camp), African Fish (at Rabelais Pan), Wahlbergs, Lesser Spotted, Steppe, African Hawk and Brown Snake Eagles, Bateleur, Black-shouldered Kite, Gabar and Dark Chanting Goshawk, Little Sparrowhawk and Amur and Red-footed Falcons (Eastern and Western Redfooted Kestrels) are all regularly seen. Less frequently seen are African Goshawk, Martial and Black-chested (breasted) SnakeEagles and African Harrier Hawk (Gymnogene). Five vulture species may be seen in the area, although the Cape Griffin is least often observed despite a breeding colony near the Strydom Tunnel at Manoutsa.
Night drives, and dawn and dusk produce Pearl-spotted and African Barred Owlets, Scops, Verreaux's(Giant) Eagle, Spotted Eagle and Barn Owl, as well as Fiery-necked, Square-tailed ( Mo za mbique ), Freckled and European Nightjars. Less common are Marsh and Grass Owl and Rufous-cheeked and Pennant-winged Nightjar.
Rarities to come out of the area include Plain-backed (Blue-throated) Sunbird at Orpen Camp, Long-crested Eagle on the Timbavati River , Olive Bush Shrike at Tamboti Camp and in the incredible wet season of 1999-2000 plenty of Black Coucal. In 2001 a Narina Trogon (not previously recorded in the area) flew into the window of one of Talamati's cottages and killed itself.

Kenny Florian suffered a tough defeat at the hands of UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo at Saturday night's UFC 136.
Losing for the third time during a championship bout, speculation has arisen as to whether the long-time veteran of the Octagon will hang up the gloves after this latest defeat.
But with such an amazing history with the organization and only having UFC losses to champions or former top contenders, Florian can definitely still compete at a high level.
Whether it is at featherweight or another weight class altogether, Florian should keep fighting with the UFC.
Here are three reasons why not choosing to retire is a good idea for Kenny Florian.

f there's one person whose medical records you wouldn't want to lose track of, it's the co-chairman of the congressional caucus that focuses on protecting consumers' privacy.
But that's whose medical records went missing.
Rep. Joe Barton was one of 3,000 patients whose records may have been breached when a National Institutes of Health laptop was stolen in late February from the trunk of a vehicle.
Barton was enrolled in a cardiac study, and the password-protected records on the computer contained patient names, diagnoses of heart disease, MRI heart scans and birth dates — but not Social Security numbers, addresses or phone numbers.
Ironically, Barton is one of the founders of the Congressional Privacy Caucus, which has as its mission the education of members of Congress and their staffs on matters of individual privacy. One of its first forums in 2001 was titled: "Has Your E-mail Been Bugged?"
The Texas Republican learned of the potential breach through press reports March 24. Democratic colleagues alerted him that day that the House Energy and Commerce Committee would be investigating the matter. He had no idea that he had a personal stake until a Fed-Ex parcel arrived at his Texas home four days later notifying him that his records were lost.
"I was stunned," said Barton, the ranking Republican on the Energy and Commerce panel. The committee has jurisdiction over many of the health issues that come before Congress.
Barton had a heart attack in December 2005.
Barton said he's already sensitive to privacy concerns, and that this incident will make him more aggressive in pushing legislation to increase privacy protections. "Maybe it's a sign from heaven that the time for this type of legislation has arrived," Barton said.
Barton said his case raised numerous questions that could be addressed through legislation.
"The information was not encrypted. I don't believe it was supposed to be left unattended. I don't believe it was supposed to be left outside the building," he said. "There are a whole lot of things that shouldn't have happened."
The laptop, which had been in the possession of an NIH researcher, is still missing.
Barton and a Republican colleague on the committee, Rep. John Shimkus of Illinois, on Thursday asked the inspector general for the Health and Human Services Department to investigate why the personal data on the laptop was not encrypted and why the NIH delayed disclosure of the breach.
"In the interest of protecting the NIH's ability to recruit future participants for clinical trials, we believe there should be an examination — independent of any NIH internal review — of the circumstances surrounding the February 2008 theft, why the information was not encrypted and why the NIH delayed disclosure for almost a month."
Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt made a similar request Thursday and also talked to Barton about the case.

July 2, 2014 —
My mother was a bit of a hypochondriac. Although she moaned a lot, most of her grousing turned out to be nothing more than anxiety, and as a result, I grew up with a confused sense of what actually constitutes illness. I've never been a fan of doctors (in the professional sense) and in fact, took the opposite approach as an adult. Where Mom might have panicked over an attack of the sniffles, running off to her physician for every ache and pain, I took most things in stride, loathe to complain (hard to believe, right?) and keeping concerns about my general well-being to myself. That philosophy served me well for decades, and until my 40s, I enjoyed pretty good health. That's when I met Dr. Jason Blitz. Actually, he wasn't an MD when we met, but a Navy man, traveling the world while serving his country, determined to see the world.
Being a homebody and "nester" extraordinaire, I had a hard time identifying with the good doctor's desire to roam, but always enjoyed our visits, when he would regale me with stories about his travels to exotic locales scattered about the globe. While he was stationed in Hawaii and I was living in LA, our visits were fairly regular, but over time, he began his medical studies, I moved home to New York, and our time together became rare. We've kept up, of course, and like any close friendship, the miles melt away when we have an occasion to catch up, which occurred this past week.
"Where have you been?" I inquired, hearing his voice on the other end of the phone. "Djibouti," he replied, "with a quick stop in Venice. But I'm in D.C. now, may I come visit?" Typing "do you booty" into the Google yielded results that made no sense, and I was forced to ask. "Africa," he said, "doing a study on diarrhea."
"Sure," I answered. "That sounds great. The visit, I mean, not the diarrhea."
After exchanging pleasantries upon his arrival ("it's been too long" and "you look great!"), we got down to business as I reviewed my weekend schedule of arts and leisure destinations that he understood would occupy some of my time during our reunion. First up was "Radius 12748," which was described as a "pop-up" gallery show sponsored by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (www.artsalliancesite.org [2]) and taking place in Jeffersonville, NY. Celebrating artists who live and work within a five-mile radius of the town, this first-time effort on the part of the DVAA attracted more than 30 painters, sculptors, potters and mixed-media practitioners, all residents of the same neck of the woods. Board members addressed the huge crowd that showed up for the reception, thanking everyone for their continued support of the arts and explaining how the concept works, not just to bring art to the public, but also to help fuel interest in sustaining a community.
Out of his element, Jason was intrigued. A conversation with Anne Hart (www.thecuttinggarden.org [3]) reflected not only her thoughts, but expressed a communal thought process. "The arts are economic development," Hart explained, citing interesting statistics from a study conducted in 2011 (www.americansforthearts.org [4]). "Attendance at arts events generates income for local business," according to the study, "including restaurants and retail stores in the area," going on to say that "when a community attracts cultural tourists, it harnesses significant economic rewards." Hart followed up by stating that RADIUS was "a rousing success." and the DVAA hopes to duplicate the pop-up concept in other neighborhoods. Dr. Blitz loved Jeff and (as predicted) we dropped some dollars in one of the local eateries, while planning our next stop. Having promised a great bonfire and equally impressive music, we cruised into Bethel, NY to hear the amazing Slam Allen singing the blues at the Catskill Distilling Co. (www.dancingcatsaloon.com [5]), where Jason met many of my friends and fellow fans of the man (www.slamallen.com [6]), who was born and raised in Sullivan County. Slam's show was (IMHO) fantastic, and the enthusiastic crowd encouraged the band to play late into the night.
Arriving home exhausted, I flew into a panic hearing a voice-mail message informing me that my landlord's son wants to move into my home, and that I have to relocate. Again. "I'm having a heart attack!" I cried, grateful that that was a doctor in the house. "What on earth am I going to do? Where will I go?" After pretending to check my vitals, the doc assured me that I would live. "You've been touring me around this gorgeous region for days," he intoned. "My professional advice? Make lemonade." Since I don't care for the stuff, it took a moment to realize that he was speaking metaphorically and I groaned.
Reviewing our visit, my pal made a list. "You have scads of friends," he said. "Start by putting the word out. I'm pretty sure that your vast network can help you find a permanent place to rest your weary bones. Aside from that, each town you took me to, every hamlet that you love, has a hidden gem that is just waiting for you and the Wonder Dog to call home.
"Write about it," he said. "You don't need a doctor, you just need a house call."

Carragheen is a small red seaweed with great setting properties, found in the Hebrides and Ireland. If you're not in either of these places picking from the shore, there's a good chance your local health-food shop will have it–or, bring it back dried from holidays in Ireland and Scotland.
Sorry for the lack of an update yesterday. My Internet connection was on the blink. Thankfully everything is working now.
Rather than try my local health shops, I decided to turn to the Internet first for finding Carragheen. My initial search came back empty, but I did find that Carragheen is known by many names: Irish Moss, Carrageen Moss, Irish Carraigeen, and scientifically as Chondrus crispus. Another quick Google search for Irish Moss was much more fruitful, and a little eye opening. Carragheen is used in countless products, from toothpaste to ice cream to lunch meats. Where I finally managed to find some dried for purchase however, was at a beer brewing website. Apparently Carragheen is "used during the boil as a 'kettle coagulant' to help proteins precipitate, resulting in clearer, haze-free beer." I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever decide to start brewing at home.
Here's the star of this pudding, Carragheen. In its dried state it had a very strong seaweed smell to it, much like the nori one would use for making sushi rolls. Now, the recipe at no point mentioned whether or not the Carrageen should or shouldn't be re-hydrated, and if it were to be re-hydrated, how long should it soak. Had I taken more than five minutes to debate this little matter, I'd probably have re-hydrated the seaweed. But I didn't do that.
Nope, I dumped it all in pot with the correct amount of milk and some superfine sugar, oblivious to the fact the Carragheen was thirstily slurping up every drop of moisture it could. About ten minutes into the cooking time, I finally noticed that the seaweed was not melting away as the recipe had told me, but it was getting thicker. Much, much thicker. So I added a little bit of milk to keep my pudding from burning. Then I added a little more. And then a little more, with some more sugar.
Eventually, I had added the whole gallon of milk. I'm just going to chalk this up to a learning experience. I've never cooked with agar-agar or any other seaweed thickener before so that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.
I strained all of the unmelted Carragheen out of the liquid, and then poured it into little ramekins for individual portions. These little guys were placed in the refrigerator to cool down and firm up…
…which they did admirably. I then added a nice blob of raspberry jam on top of the pudding, followed by a mound of sweetened whipped cream. The funny thing was, the pudding was so unbelievably slick that the jam kept sliding off the top of it. This was the best picture I could muster, so I do apologize.
This dessert is very, very unusual, but in a good way. Texture-wise it was like an ultra thick, rubbery custard. The pudding by itself had a mildly sweet, seaweed-like flavor to it. Though when combined with the jam and whipped cream, the pudding began playing the part of a backup singer. When I took a bite, the pudding was still there and still an important part of the song, but muted. The jam and the rich whipped cream took center stage, but they would have been way too sweet without the balance of the Caragheen. I can also see the pudding working with almost any flavor jam, so diners will be able to tailor it to specific preferences with little trouble. This recipe is a winner for sure.
One down, one hundred and twelve to go.

A. Skin cancer is a tumor or growth of abnormal cells in our skin. The most common type of skin cancer is called basal cell carcinoma. Another common skin cancer is called squamous cell carcinoma. These cancers occur in the surface layer of the skin. When found early, they can be easily cured. The most serious type of skin cancer is called malignant melanoma. Malignant melanomas are more likely to spread.
A. Skin cancers can appear as moles, scaly patches, open sores or raised bumps. These signs can vary, depending on the form of skin cancer present. Different types of skin cancer share some of the same signs, so it's important to get any moles or bumps of concern checked. Here are some signs to look for:
A. The following people are most at risk for skin cancer:
A. If you have a mole or other skin lesion that is causing you concern, show it to your health care provider. He or she will check your skin and may ask you to see another doctor to have the mole or bump removed. Whatever is removed will be sent to a laboratory to be viewed under a microscope. The results will be back at your clinic within two weeks.
A. In many cases, skin cancer can be prevented. The best way to protect yourself is to avoid too much sun and sunburns. Health care providers believe that ultraviolet rays (UV rays) from the sun damage the skin and over time lead to skin cancer. Here are ways to protect yourself:
A. Skin cancer is treated by removing the skin lesion and a part of the normal skin surrounding it. The procedure is often performed in the doctor's office. First, the area is numbed with medicine. A small knife is then used to cut out the skin cancer. Other treatments include freezing (cryotherapy), scraping and burning (electrodesiccation and curettage) and radiation therapy. If lesions are larger and more likely to return, the doctor may cut out small sections from the tumor and view these sections under a microscope (Mohs surgery). The earlier skin cancer is removed, the better your chances for a full recovery.
A. National Cancer Institute-Cancer Information Service 800.4.CANCER (422.6237)
American Academy of Dermatology P.O. Box 4014 Schaumberg , IL 60168-4014 847.330.0230
Skin cancer is the most prevalent form of all cancers in the United States , and is on the rise. This year, an estimated one million Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer, and 9,000 will die from the disease. Fortunately, skin cancer almost always can be cured when detected and treated early. Seeking medical attention at the first suspicion of skin cancer is critical to successful treatment.
A. There's no such thing as a "safe tan" from a tanning salon. In fact, studies indicate that such tans actually prepare the skin for even greater damage from subsequent exposure to sunlight.
More than 1,500 Americans end up in hospital emergency rooms each year with burns suffered at commercial tanning salons, according data from the American Academy of Dermatology.
But that's just the immediate effects. Prolonged exposure to the ultraviolet radiation in tanning booths can lead to wrinkles, the early onset of skin cancer, damage to the eyes, and suppression of the immune system.
The number of cases of melanoma, the deadliest type of skin cancer, increased by 34 percent in the U.S. between 1973 and 1992. In addition, we're seeing more cases of skin cancer involving people in their 20s and 30s, whereas it used to almost exclusively affect older people. The glamorous image of the golden tan and vast amounts of misinformation about tanning salons – as well as sun-bathing – are partly to blame.
Moreover, salons often fail to tailor the tanning sessions to the needs of the individual. Operators must take into account skin type, the level of exposure in previous visits, and any medications the customer is taking which could induce an allergic reaction to the ultraviolet light. And protective goggles are a must.
The best course, however, is to avoid tanning salons, limit your exposure to direct sunlight, or at least use a dermatologist-approved sun screen if you must be in the sun for a long time. Ten or 20 years from now, you'll be thankful you took such precautions.

Lesson Plan
Becoming Naomi Leon Storia Teaching Guide
- Grades: 3–5, 6–8
About this book
Book Summary
Naomi Soledad León Outlaw has a lot of problems to deal with in her young life—including the "funniest last name in the universe." She and her brother Owen have lived with their great grandmother, Gram, at Avocado Acres Trailer Rancho in California for the last seven years. Naomi worries a lot and has difficulty speaking up. When the mother who abandoned her suddenly shows up at Gram's trailer, Naomi is caught up in a whirlwind of challenges and changes.
Gram, Naomi, and Owen set off on a journey to Mexico to discover the children's long-lost father, Santiago León. Finding her father and participating in a radish-carving festival help Naomi understand her León heritage and develop her own strength and determination.
By the end of the book, Naomi faces a test that could result in the end of her happy existence with Gram and Owen. She finds the courage to become who she is meant to be—Naomi León, or Naomi the lioness.
Teaching the Book
Can Naomi Soledad León Outlaw ever live up to her Mexican surname León—the lion? This award-winning novel about a young girl caught in the middle of family conflicts provides an opportunity to teach how a character changes and grows as she learns lessons about life and herself. Students will engage in activities including mapping a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, learning Spanish and English cognates, and exploring the meaning of their own names.
Theme Focus: Identity
Comprehension Focus: Analyze Character
Language Focus: Spanish and English Words
Get Ready to Read
Pre-Reading Activities
What's in a Name?
Introduce students to the book's main character Naomi Soledad León Outlaw. Write the name on the whiteboard or on chart paper. Ask students if they know the meaning or background of the individual parts of her name. (Naomi comes from Hebrew and means pleasant or beautiful; Soledad means solitude or aloneness in Spanish; León is a Spanish name meaning lion; Outlaw is an English word that means outside the law.) Ask students what parts of her name Naomi probably likes or doesn't like.
Ask students what they know about their own last names—either the meaning or the country the name is from. Suggest that they learn more by asking their parents about their first and last names. Have them ask how their first name was chosen. Prompt them to think about names they wish they had or names that would describe what they are really like.
Preview and Predict
Have students spend time looking at the illustration on the cover of the book. Prompt them with these questions: Where might Naomi live? Why might there be a small lion in the picture? What kind of person do you think Naomi is? Discuss students' answers to the questions and encourage other predictions they might have about the book.
Spanish and English Words
Tell students that Naomi makes many lists in her notebook, including "splendid" and "superb" new words that she learns. The list below contains half English and half Spanish words that Naomi records. Ask students to look for clues in the text to figure out the word meanings or to check dictionary definitions. Encourage students to keep a list of new words they learn from the book and give their list a title such as Splendid or Superb.
Use Resource #1: Vocabulary Cards and distribute copies to students. Ask them to write down the definitions for the words as they read them in the book.
- flourish (p. 10)
- sanctuary (p. 10)
- tropical (p. 142)
- mercado (p. 154)
- quesillo (p. 156)
- maravilloso (p. 190)
- fantástico (p. 217)
- ecstatic (p. 241)
Words to Know
Ask students to refer to the definitions they wrote on their vocabulary cards to answer the following questions. Ask students what English words sound similar to the Spanish words.
- Where do you go to find sanctuary from the world?
- What is your favorite dish with quesillo?
- What place has a tropical climate?
- What person or thing would you describe as maravilloso?
- What experience made you feel ecstatic?
Ask students to share words from the lists they made as they read. Using their words, ask several more questions that require a specific understanding of a word's meaning.
As You Read
Reading the Book
Modeled Reading
Read aloud the first chapter of the book, asking students to follow along. Then ask them these questions: What do you know so far about Naomi? What do you know about Owen and Gram? Why do the titles of the chapters have the names they do? Clarify any questions students have before they begin reading the book.
Independent Reading
Assign students to read Becoming Naomi León independently. Remind them to keep the Big Question in mind as they read.
Big Question: Critical Thinking
Ask students to think about this question as they read and be ready to answer it when they have finished the book. Write the question on chart paper or have students write it in their reading journals. What do you think the title of the book means?
Comprehension Focus
Analyze Character
Becoming Naomi León presents an excellent opportunity to teach students to analyze how a character changes as a result of events in her life. Remind students that a reader can get to know a character by watching how the character speaks, thinks, and acts. These pieces of evidence are clues to the character's traits or personality.
Use the graphic organizer on Resource #2: Analyze Character to model for students how to use evidence to analyze character traits. Project the page on a whiteboard or pass out copies to students.
We're going to think about Naomi and her character traits and how she changed during the story. A trait is a quality or habit that a person has. The first trait listed for Naomi at the beginning of the book is "a worrier." Is that true about Naomi? I'll see if I can find evidence of that in the text. Okay, I see on page 9 that she says she is good at worrying. In fact, she keeps a list of "Regular and Everyday Worries." I'll write that in the second column as evidence of "a worrier."
Have students fill in the rest of the organizer for the traits listed for Naomi and the beginning and end of the book. Ask them to supply two of the traits themselves. (Answers will vary because there are many examples in both the text and illustrations.)
After You Read
Questions to Discuss
Lead students in a discussion of these focus story elements.
1. Identity
By the end of the book, Naomi feels like Naomi the Lion. Many things happen to make her feel that way. What do you think the most important one is? (Sample answers: She found out that her father really loved her. She stood up to her mother in the courtroom.)
2. Analyze Character
Even though he has physical challenges, Naomi's brother Owen has a very positive outlook on life. Why do you think he has this personality? How do you know that he still feels emotional pain about his life? (Sample answers: He may have inherited his positive outlook from Gram; he may need a positive outlook just to carry on; he wears tape over his chest which shows that he still has a lot of fears.)
3. Spanish and English Words
What words on Naomi's list are synonyms of splendid and superb? What other words do you know that have similar meanings? (Answer: maravilloso and fantastico; super, fabulous, wonderful, magnificent, excellent.)
Questions to Share
Encourage students to share their responses with a partner or small group.
1. Text to Self
Do you feel that you have a good name—a name that explains who you really are?
2. Text to World
Do you think the judge made the right decision about who would have custody of Naomi? Why or why not?
3. Text to Text
What other character have you read about in a book or seen in a movie who has problems with his or her family, as Namoi León does. Describe the character and compare and contrast him or her with Naomi.
Content Area Connections
Social Studies
Map the Journey
Naomi, Owen, and Gram travel in their trailer to Mexico to find Naomi's father. The town of Lemon Tree where they live is based on Lemon Grove, California. They travel to Oaxaca, Mexico. Challenge students to trace their journey using Google Maps. Show them how to find driving directions and input the beginning and end points of the journey. Ask them to print out the map of the journey and note how many miles it is and how many hours it takes.
Language Arts
Spanish and English Cognates
Use the book as an opportunity to expand students' understanding of the similarities between English and Spanish. Explain that there are many similarities between Spanish and English words. Print out this minibook about food cognates for students to read and share.
Family Traits
Naomi takes after her Mexican father with brown hair and brown eyes, but her brother Owen resembles the Outlaw side of the family. Students interested in science may enjoy learning more about genetics by reading about it on the internet or by watching this video.
Oaxacan Carving
Provide activities for students who want to learn more about the art of Oaxacan woodcarving. An outstanding book for young students is ABeCedarios: Mexican Folk Art ABCs in Spanish and English by Cynthia Weill. ABeCedarios is an alphabet book which uses hand carved Oaxacan figurines of animals to illustrate the Spanish and English alphabet. Alternatively, guide students to research Oaxacan wood carving online and then draw one of the figures they find, including the brightly colored patterns painted on the wood. Students might also research the Oaxacan radish-carving festival called The Night of the Radishes.
Extension Activities
Reading/Writing Connection
Finding the Theme
Ask students: What message or lesson about life did you get from reading Becoming Naomi León? Explain that an author doesn't state the theme of a novel outright. When each reader thinks deeply about a book they take away messages about life. Often, it is like a lesson, such as "determination is more important than talent." Give students this writing starter: I think the theme of Becoming Naomi León is ____________. I think this because ______. Ask them to write at least three reasons that support their idea about the theme of the book.
Don't Forget the Big Question
Critical Thinking
Give each student an opportunity to answer the big question. Encourage students to support their answers with details and evidence from the text. Tell them there is no one right answer. What do you think the title of the book means?
Big Activity
My Name Means . . .
Ask students to find out the meaning of their name— including first, middle, and last names. Tell them that there are several ways to do this. First, they can research the meaning of their names online. Second, they can ask their family members why they were given their first and middle names and what the country of origin is of their last names [where their ancestors came from]. Third, they can explain why they have certain nicknames and why. Make copies of the printable Big Activity: My Name Means . . . and distribute to students. Read the directions and answer any questions to clarify the activity.

Aaron Klein Radio Among 'Heaviest' In U.S.
Latest update: April 19th, 2012
Aaron Klein's popular radio program made the radio industry's highly coveted Talkers Magazine "Heavy Hundred," one of only two all-weekend shows in America to make the list.
"Aaron Klein Investigative Radio," broadcast live from the beaches of Tel Aviv, is heard on New York's 77 WABC Radio, the largest talk station in the U.S.
"I'm very happy that Aaron has made this coveted industry list," stated Chuck Armstrong, WABC's assistant program director. "Aaron is in good company among several other 77 WABC hosts."
Once per year, Talkers issues the Top 250 along with the "Heavy Hundred" radio hosts in America. The Talkers rankings are often quoted in newspapers and other publications. (www.talkers.com/heavy-hundred)
With thousands of weekday shows on air, it is rare for a weekend program to make the list. Klein came in at #99.
Klein's highly-rated show focuses on U.S. politics and foreign affairs. It uniquely fuses news reporting, including exclusive investigative journalism, with the concept of talk radio and is the only radio talk show in America that is broadcast from the Middle East.
"Aaron Klein Investigative Radio" routinely breaks news and is referred to nearly weekly by the news media.
While focusing heavily on U.S. affairs, Klein is also known to interview world leaders and senior terrorists live on the air.
Klein is a Jewish Press columnist and serves as WND's senior reporter and Jerusalem bureau chief. He is a New York Times bestselling author of four books (his fifth will be released this August) and a frequent guest on cable news. His website, updated throughout the day, is KleinOnline.com.Jewish Press Staff

News flash – social media isn't new anymore. It's embedded so totally into our society that having a social media strategy shouldn't be a question anymore – it's whether or not you have the right strategy. I think most communicators tend to view strategy in terms of objectives, engagement (or, as I argue, connection …), number of friends/followers and publishing content. But a carefully crafted strategy can be subverted by a slip up in a speaking engagement.
To me, this means there should be more pressure than ever on communicators to prepare their speakers for the immediacy of social media. Let me illustrate.
I was at a great Publicity Club of Chicago panel discussion this week about maximizing social media success. It featured three Chicago-area social media experts – Eddie Garrett from Edelman, Kate O'Leary from LinkedIn and Matthew Royse from Forsythe Technology. Before the proceedings began, the 100 or so attendees were encouraged to tweet their thoughts during the panel to @PCC_Chicago, using the hashtag #pccgo.
I did just that, posting 16 quotes and ideas from the panelists, including:
- The first thing you need to do in social media is listen. Understand your business objectives, but listen.
- A lot of times people think about the tools before the objectives.
- With content, you ned to be helpful. With social media, you need to be thankful.
You can search the #pccgo hashtag to read everyone's posts, including mine. But here's what amazed me: I was simultaneously listening to the panelists, tweeting and carrying on meaningful discussions with others actually in the room, including a person at my table. It was like we were feeding off each other.
I've tweeted before at other events, but for the first time, it clicked with me: A speaker says something that resonates with a listener, who posts it on a social media channel, and it reaches people both in the room and hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away. The entire process takes literally a few seconds.
This is great if the speaker says something particularly insightful, but what if he says something boneheaded – or worse, fumbles through his remarks to the point where posts focus not on the message but inept delivery? Watch the Twitter traffic during the upcoming presidential debates and you'll see my point.
A few seconds isn't a lot of margin for error. I might add that several of my posts were retweeted by friends, work colleagues and even people I didn't know – from all over the country. And the words I posted, spoken by the panelists (all of whom did very well, by the way), were exposed to everyone those folks are connected to. The reach was far.
Obviously, a speaker only gets better through practice and experience, and a great speechwriter can craft tweetable sound bites that almost post themselves. But that's the point: Great writing and relentless practice will do as much to enhance brand perception as any key message.
There's no alternative anymore. The stakes are just too high because they're instantaneous and permanent.

Skip to comments.On Late Night, Christie Rolls Eyes at Prospect of Palin Presidency
Posted on 11/23/2010 10:20:53 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Faced with the prospect of a President Sarah Palin, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, the Republican partys darling from another coast, shook his head and rolled his eyes.
I dont know, but its an amazing world, he said to Jimmy Fallon during a taping of Tuesdays Late Night show.
Christie brought his sharp tongue to the talk show Tuesday after the two traded barbs over Twitter when the Republican governor canceled a long-planned Hudson River train tunnel.
Fallon had joked that New Yorkers would now have to get to New Jersey as they usually do by accident.
You think its funny, Jimmy? Christie challenged Fallon on the show, which airs at 12:35 a.m. You know what we do to people like that in Jersey?
Christie, known by Trenton insiders for his wit and occasionally foul language, turned serious and said New Jersey shouldnt have to pay for the tunnel while New York stands idly by.
Theres nothing New Jersey hates more than getting screwed by New York, he said....
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.wsj.com ...
Politicians, yes, people, no.
Or he might just be tired of 2012 election questions when there's so much to do right now. Just an alternative thought, though.
Cristie and Romney have become the two the anti-Palin ppl have put their hopes in, to stop Palin
Yes, they'd like nothing better than to start a Republican civil war.
How many times foes Christie have to say he's not running. Let him finish his job,
Christie...? Pro choice, no?
christie is pro amnesty, pro castle, pro global warming. The only thing he's good at is the fiscal side and a fighter
He could have been rolling his eyes at the silliness of the moron asking the question of him.
The printed word often doesn't accurately portray the context in which statements were made, nor does it convey the setting, mood, body language, tone of voice, etc.
Then again, maybe Gov Christie was expressing incredulity at the question. Could be - but watch what happens as soon as the Sarah Express takes off. Lots of weasely politicians and journOlists will act as though they've never had a single cross word for her.
"Is the whole Northeast defective?"
You nailed that one spot on.
A big bag of a$$holes.
I know, I'm here.
And, don't forget pro cap and trade also.....
I don't let journalists make judgments for me
Doesn't read like he refudiated the idea....
There are many of us behind enemy lines. It's getting so bad up here that some of the so called conservative talk show hosts are turning into schmucks. Jay Severin, a big Romney supporter, rips Sarah Palin every chance he gets, and he's been trashing Bristol almost daily, and he has a lot of influence with the independents in this state. Between the Liberals and conservatives like him, there's no way she's going to take this state, but that was a given anyway.
Settle down there Christie, but you did just blow your chance at speaking at the 2012 GOP Convention.
My aunt was the school nurse at Rutgers for many years. She is very far-left, as are the rest of my relatives there.
Agreed, but it's hard to say whether he did or not, without seeing the video.
When he was running for Gov., the only thing we could get about his stance on immigration was that he was quoted as saying just being here illegally is not illegal, or something similar.
Now that he is Gov, he is quoted saying that we need a clear path to citizenship but not what that means. He also has said things against the AZ law, claiming that only the FED should deal with immigration.
I don't know what his view is on amnesty, but I do remember his views on the 2nd amendment being pretty clear.
He supports strong enforcement of the states current laws, as is, but he believes, in the 2nd amendment, and is not in favor of any more gun control laws.
Thats pretty much the position of the NRA also.
Like I would vote for that fat tub of lard ... a walking heart attack ... only if he had a conservative VP and then I would have to hold my nose.
If this guy is pro immigration, pro cap and trade; etc; he shouldn't be considered as POTUS. How is he on Obamacare?
They sure don't want a conservative in office.
and pro mosque
Just lost half of my respect for Cristie...
The mosque thing did it for me along with amnesty.
He is just a cheap lib.
Well, it's needed! Half of the Republicans seem to think that they are the elitist granted the power to serve us peons while the other half thinks that Sarah Palan and her ideas would be best. You can decide - but it's time to stop putting down the other side (you know, those peons).
America was and will continue to be governed by the people regardless of what the elites (both parties) seem to think...
Yep. He's the Scott Brown of the month. His talking tough to the teachers unions mat be entertaining, but it is more that than consequential. What he actually has to show for it is minimal, and it probably reveals a jerky personality more than anything.
Last I heard, NJ has not joined in with the lawsuits among the states against Obamacare....
Sound the alarm! He wasn't completely in love with St. Sarah!
"Sound the alarm! He wasnt completely in love with St. Sarah!"
Non-conservatives aren't. Why sound an alarm?
"Or he might just be tired of 2012 election questions when theres so much to do right now. Just an alternative thought, though."
Impossible. Everything that is said must be judged as either unfavorable to Palin or not. /sarc
>Yep. Hes the Scott Brown of the month.
Yup. After Brown got what he wanted, he threw the Tea Party under the bus.
I've already wagered to anyone that Marco Rubio is a potential RINO. No one took my bet. There is no true 100% conservative on the GOP.
"Impossible. Everything that is said must be judged as either unfavorable to Palin or not. /sarc"
I don't understand the /sarc. It is true. She is dominating politics right now. Quite a trick for a rube from the sticks who is a quitter and a dumb broad. I wonder how she does it?
When the Times comes tomorrow, I will have to read an analysis. /real sarc
Very disrespectful...rolling eyes and laughing?
Real mature way to treat a good person and a Republican like Palin.
He treats Obama with more respect.
The WSJ is now a left wing operation and this hit piece is classic divide and conquer rubbish.
How does this lefty know he rolled his eyes or why ??
Is she a mind reader ??
This is pure BS meant to divide the GOP !
I liked the guy but he is a mega HUGE Springsteen fan, which means deep down - he is an idiot.
He has seen idiot Bruce literally hundreds of times.
"Sound the alarm! He wasnt completely in love with St. Sarah!"
Sound the alarm! PDS victim on deck.
One of the guys I work with likes to listen to conservative talk radio also. He's told me that every once in a while, someone will come over and change the channel on his radio, because they don't like what he's listening to. They don't ask him...they'll just come right over and change it.
He is anti gun too. He is a HUGE Springsteen fan - like rabid aka which means he is an idiot. Springsteen's songs are incredibly shallow and childish.
Yeah sure, that's why he endorsed Mike Castle in DE. He's a RINO for the most part.
A true statesman he'll never be.
Thread after thread of you insulting freerepublic and freepers to no end other than simple trolling.
Woo hoo!! FR is Palin Country!!

(from the New Yorker)
He declined Palins offer to stump for himhave endeared him to members of the GOPs sane wing. The breakthrough hes scoring in New Jersey is hugely promising, says David Frum, a conservative writer who fears that the Republican Party is being swallowed by the tea party.
Christie is also moderate enough that they know he will not be easily consigned to the Tea Party tea chest when the going gets rough if he decided to run.
Speak for yourself.
He will be an instant loser if he runs for Pres. Having Frum and the New Yorker in your hip pocket is poison to the right. He will lose the South. Lose the South West where immigration is an issue. Lose the bible belt. He doesn't even show up on the radar for Pres hopefuls.
This hole issue is moot. He should focus on saving NJ instead of screwing around. Results matter. And getting into bed with Mayor Bloomberg for some expensive subway dig isn't one of them.

Which process is this verb?

I'm unsure which process (material, mental, verbal, relational, existential) does each of the bold words in the following sentences belong to?

Thank you!
I've never even seen this classification of processes before, and I don't really see the use of them, but I'll take a guess anyway:
I'm looking forward to reading the answers.

Thanks for your reply. Not sure if the following will help to make things clearer, the processes are actually different categories of verbs. Hence
I have another sentence which I'm unsure of.
Thank you!
#4 then means linking verbs, as in be, become, seem? Then my answers to going and did are wrong, but I don't know what they are-- I was thinking of 'relational' as referring to time/tense.
Hurt, I suppose, is material here.
noted: verbal process
go :material
suffers : mental
needs: mental
recuperating: material
call: verbal
did: material
the training was put to use when Mr Stalnaker suffered a seizure.
Is it always the case that 'suffer' will definitely fall under Mental process (Sensing verb)? But why is it so?
Thank you!
I don't think that suffer is always a mental process at all, particularly as in your sentence, where suffered a seizure means underwent a seizure, had a seizure-- material.
Quoted is verbal, I presume.
I have 2 more words which I'm unsure.

Kevin Youkilis played his final game with the Red Sox yesterday. He got a pair of hits, including a triple, made some nice defensive plays at third base and left the game to a thunderous and emotional standing ovation.
Do not be fooled by the day's events. This was not a graceful exit by Youk. This was a farewell filled with anger, a sense of betrayal and pettiness from the organization.
Or as the Red Sox call it, "Business as usual."
The Red Sox like to portray themselves as warm and cozy as Fenway Park. In truth, they have been heartless and callous with many beloved players for several generations. Remember how many Red Sox legends failed to show up at the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park?
About a month ago, I created the All Ungrateful Exit Red Sox team, a 25-man roster of players who left the team in a huff and with a chip on their shoulder.
Now it is updated to include Youkilis.
There's a starting player at each position, a five-man rotation, a five-man bullpen and a six-player bench. Also, there's a coaching staff and front office of disgruntled managers and GMs as well.
Welcome to the club, Youk. As you can see, there are some pretty big names on this list.

The 'Culture' Remark
So Mitt Romney compared Israel's culture favorably to that of the Palestinian Arabs, to explain the economic success of the Jewish state (and by implication, the failure of the Arab entity). "Racism," said Saeb Erekat, PLO negotiator. "It's all about occupation."
Of course the Jews in Palestine were under 'occupation' from about the time of Nebuchadnezzar until 1948. During the period of Turkish and British rule from about 1890 until independence, they created the institutions of a new Jewish commonwealth, everything from health funds to road-building companies to labor unions to universities to collective farms to kindergartens to newspapers to an army.
They had some help from international Jewry, but it was small potatoes. Most of what they built was bootstrapped into existence, often — as in the reclamation of previously worthless land purchased dearly — at great human cost.
The Palestinian Arabs, on the other hand, are the greatest recipients of international aid in the history of the world. Billions and billions of dollars have been showered on them to help them create economic, social and political institutions that could be a precursor to statehood. They have political autonomy — total control in Gaza, and civil self-rule over 97% of the Arab population of Judea and Samaria.
Yet they have not been able to create a functional economy in either the PA or Hamas-controlled areas. Criminality and corruption characterize their regimes. Cronies of the rulers control monopolies in telecommunications, building materials, etc.
Erekat is not entirely wrong when he says that 'occupation' — such things as Israeli border controls which deny Palestinian Arabs access to Israel, checkpoints on major roads within PA areas — does have a stifling effect on commerce.
But there are things that have held Israel back, too. The continuous pressure of terrorism and the need for security in every aspect of Israeli life, for one, and the periodic wars and time and energy devoted to reserve duty between them, for another.
"Just end the occupation," would be the answer from Palestinians and their friends. "Then both sides would prosper."
Unfortunately, that's been tried, with Gaza. We know the result: so far this month, 23 rockets have landed in southern Israel. There is no reason to think a withdrawal from Judea and Samaria would have different results (except that it would be easier to hit Israel's population centers).
In fact, it insults the Palestinian Arabs to assume that they are lying when they tell us that their greatest desire, the goal to which they aspire every day more than any other, is to get rid of the Jews on what they believe is their land. Why shouldn't we take them at their word?
Now we are perhaps in a position to understand Romney's comments about culture. The Israeli Jewish culture yearned for a homeland in the land of Israel. Was this necessarily inconsistent with justice for Arabs in the region? No — but it was inconsistent with Arab culture, which has always insisted that any Jewish sovereignty is unacceptable.
This principle has become the foundation of Arab ideology. It's been nurtured through the years by ceaseless propaganda in media, educational and religious institutions, as well as by concrete actions, such as preventing the repatriation of Arab refugees and their descendents to anywhere but 'Palestine'.
So today there is a Palestinian culture which defines itself by opposition to Israel and Jews. Its heroes are Arabs who kill Jews (we call them terrorists) because that is the culture's highest value. It can express itself in religious terms, as in the Hamas charter's inclusion of a Islamic injunction to kill Jews "wherever you find them," or in pan-Arab or Palestinian nationalist ones.
There is also a combination of anti-Jewish tropes from the Quran with modern European Jew hatred, some of it imported directly from Nazi Germany by the Mufti of Jerusalem, that has been introduced to spice things up.
Funny that Erekat thought to call Romney's remark 'racist'. What could he have been thinking?
So that is what is relevant about Palestinian culture. Building an economy and a state is hard work. You can't do it if you are mainly focused on hating and destroying someone else's.Vic Rosenthal

Hi All,
I appreciate any assistance that any may offer. I have a php webmailer that sends email without issue, but when I try to send an attachment, it fails at "if (is_uploaded_file($fileatt))" like the file is not there. I have confirmed that the files are in the correct file location and the file path has been verified with our web host(GoDaddy). This is the section that is failing:
echo " before if satament ";
$fileatt = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$fileatt_type = $_FILES['file']['type'];
$fileatt_name = $_FILES['file']['name'];
echo $fileatt = "D:\Hosting\\"."2664876\html\uploads\\".$fileatt_name;
echo " Filename: ".$fileatt_name." ";
if (is_uploaded_file($fileatt))
echo "Start of the if statement.";
$file = fopen($fileatt, 'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
echo "in if satament";
echo " FAILED TO OPEN THE FILE! ";
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$notice_text = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.";
My echo statements are returning the proper information as far as I can tell:
display_errors = on error_reporting = E_ALL & E_NOTICE uploads/compSidebar.htmlThe file compSidebar.html has been uploaded to uploads/compSidebar.html before if satament D:\Hosting\2664876\html\uploads\compSidebar.html Filename: compSidebar.html FAILED TO OPEN THE FILE!

nd, from echoing the message itself, I get the final message boundary for the attachment:

The wave of violence ravaging Sao Paulo has left another five people dead and a bus destroyed by fire, officials said Saturday.
Two of the killings were committed by an off-duty police officer who was driving in his car with his family and who reacted to the suspicious behavior of the two victims who were in a van, according to Civil Police.
The cop who did the shooting said the van swerved in front of his car, which made him think the two occupants were maneuvering to stage an assault.
Police took another three lives in circumstances not yet made clear in three different incidents in the neighborhoods of Jaçanã and Vila Morais and in the city of Suzano in the Sao Paulo metropolitan district.
Recent weeks have seen an unprecedented outbreak of violence throughout the metropolitan region, home to nearly 20 million people.
The daily O Estado de Sao Paulo estimated Saturday that in the past two weeks, 142 people died in the region, while the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper raised the number to 159, not counting Friday night's victims.
Also on Saturday before dawn, a group of criminals set fire to a city bus, but before doing so ordered all passengers to get off, so that consequently none were harmed.
Authorities attribute some of these crimes to the drug-trafficking gang First Capital Command, whose kingpins normally give their orders from inside Sao Paulo jails.
Nearly 1,100 homicides were reported in Sao Paulo state during the first nine months of the year. The victims included 90 police officers, most of them killed while off-duty.
Some NGOs say the cause of the bloodshed is a war between organized crime and militias made up mainly of current and former cops. EFE

Selling Gold is Easy! Today as the economy worsens and as gold prices are sky rocketing more and more Cash for Gold operations are springing up everyday. During the past few years, no other industry has grown so fast or so quickly and as with all new growth there the good guys and the bad guys. Every industry has them, the rotten apples that give the rest of us a bad name! So, we have come up with a few quick and easy Tips when it comes to selling your gold, and we hope this helps you have a positive experience and get more cash.
Tips: There are a number of things you need to consider before selling your gold
You bring your items in or you ship them out and the dealer evaluates them, tests them, weighs them, and pays you. However, howdo you know if your getting a Fiar Pricel? Here are a few Tips::
5 Tips
1. Is the business you are dealing with legit and legal? Often fly by night operations that focus on the buying and selling precious metals defraud their customers, use illegal scales, fail to comply with local authorities and can even be dangerous. Dealing with unscrupulous dealers is not worth the risk.
2. What is the reputation, ratings, reviews of the company you plan on doing business with? Do they have a good reputation and what is their BBB rating? Quite often many companies have a terrible track record, its advisable that you know this ahead of time and save yourself the head aches.
3. Are they Honest, Transparent, and Fair? An honest dealer will show you what you have, how much it wights, the test results, the Spot Price of the Precious Metal, and your items true Value. A dishonest dealer will try to hide as much as possible and will avoid answering the tough questions.
4. Live Quotes vs Phone Quotes. Phone quotes are meant to be enticing. Often dealers will quote you in dwt instead of grams to make their payouts more appealing. Other times, you may be quoted an inflated priced designed to draw you in, which is very hard to get unless you have massive quantities. Its always best to go in person. Find a few dealers who have a good reputation, a good track record and visit them. There is a big difference on how one dealer treats and evaluates your items versus another dealer. In the end, there is really only one way to find out what a dealer is willing to pay you and that is to go in person.
5. Top Price Guarantees. Nearly everyone has a "Top Price Guarantee" and most of them are near impossible to get. For instance, most such guarantees require a hand written and signed quote on the day of the sale. Most buyers will not furnish such a quote only to see their business go elsewhere.
7 Thins You need to know before selling your gold
1. Did you know that some Gold Buyers pay as low as 10% of the Market Value?
We let you name your price!
2. 75% of Pawn Shop customers are unhappy with the prices they are offered
Most all our customers return at least two times!
3. Most Jewelry Buyers hide the Test & Weight of your precious metals
We weight & test in front of you and show you exactly what your precious metals are worth
4. Most 'Top Price Guarantees' require a Very Hard-To-Get Signature
All we need is a valid number from a valid competitor!
5. According to Department of Weights & Measurements: Over 200 local Gold Buyers were fined $50,000 for having bad scales
Our Scales are legal for trade.
6. Do you know the Credibility & Trustworthiness of a Business?
We are part of the BBB, we have an oustanding reputation, and are often featured on the News!
7. Know Our Price!

IFDA Forming Japan Chapter
October 20, 2008-- Home Textiles Today,
The pending Japan chapter of the International Furnishings and Design Association (IFDA) recently held its first meeting, in Osaka, with almost 90 designers and colleagues attending.
Spearheading the effort is Yasue Ishikawa, executive director for Risa Braire Co., Ltd., a custom window treatment and soft goods design firm in Kobe. She joined the IFDA New York chapter in 2006, and said she was "inspired by the IFDA's community activities, career-building opportunities and dedication to the industry."
IFDA Japan plans a designer show house in Yokohama for February, and an exhibit at a Walk-A-Thon sponsored by the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan.
"We are delighted to have new colleagues in Japan," says IFDA president Dave Gilbert. "The more we exchange ideas and information, the stronger we will be as an industry."
Earlier this year, IFDA formed a new chapter in Southern California.
