Is anyone able to help?
I have created a tool for my colleagues to use, this tool has a fair few frames that the user will go through using links to other pages. At the moment i cannot figure out how i stop the window from repositioning each time a new frame is opened. It just defaults to the top left had corner of the desktop.
Is there any way that i can make it remember the last position of the frame and keep it the same when the next frame is opened?
Thanks in advance.

Why Ha'aretz is an Evil Newspaper
Here's an excerpt from the Haaretz interview with Israel's Refrom Judaism Executive Director Gilad Kariv. Notice how the interviewer slips in the nasty question:
…there's no point in using the prettified language of reconciliation here. There is a direct connection between the book "Torah Hamelech" and the recent lynch in Jerusalem. To get a group of youths to carry out such an attack on an Arab youth, it takes a good few years of dehumanization of the Arab. We started the month of Elul with a Molotov cocktail that burned an Arab family in the territories, and with an Arab young man lying in intensive care as a result of a pogrom.
The threshold is going up. All the time. And here there is a planned, orchestrated, ideological effort that relies entirely on the distorted structuring of relations between religion and state in Israel, which gives these rabbis immunity, and budgets, and public positions and status. There is a grand project of dehumanization of whoever is not a Jew.
And of the other in general. The Arab is number one, although now he has competition for that ranking − from the migrant worker. While we're sitting here in this air-conditioned office, refugees and their little children are in tents in Ketziot.
Like the concentration camps Leibowitz prophesied. Yes. There is also a detention facility where dozens of African youths have been sitting for many months because no framework was found for them. We've negated their humanity, we've removed them from the circle of human beings whom we must treat with dignity. And then this fellow − You know, I don't want to use such words in talking about Eli Yishai …
For sure, there is no "direct connection" between the book, Torat HaMelech, and the youth who carried out the vicious attack on an Arab in Zion Square although since the trial hasn't begun, we really do not know much, neither I nor the Reform Rabbi. A Rabbi, by the way, would steer clear of such an accusation, especially during the Ten Days of Penitence.
But "concentration camps"?
Yes, Kariv considers Lebowitz his teacher even though Leibowitz though this of the sect of Reform:
Yeshayahu Leibowitz had a harsh saying about you Reform Jews. He said: "It's very nice and all, but it's not religion."
To ask him about Leibowitz would seem proper. But not to repeat a calumny. Goading and promoting Nazi comparisons is an evil discourse agenda. Done so easily, so flippantly. So carelessly.
And the editor let it through.

Some Zionists are truly gone. Rabbi Gilas Kariv is perfectly right in his views and I am his devoted supporter.
It's defnitely not and never has been a legitimate "newspaper. It's a quasi-neoNazi paper published by the kapo-master Schocken. A hatesite, a nasty gutter-sewer press. nothing intellectual about it. Pseudo-intellectual barbaric vulagarity much rather… And all its supporters one by one. Thankfully it's losing a lot of money and hopefully it's going to go bankrupt in the near future. These "people2 have no right and legitimacy to stay in the Jewish state. Their place is in Iran, Saudi arabia, Gaza or the "new" Egypt.
If you believe in democracy, to have a dissenting voice is an asset. No comparison should ever be made with the world war and its atrocities, and least of all call Haaretz newspapaer neo….or whatever. It is shameful to use such language and bodes for the future if you persist in your totalitarian views of the world. Where were you when Jews/israelis chanted on the night of selichot "death to the arbs" in front of TV cameras.
When is the law condemning incitement and forbiding tagging be fully applied.
Have you seen some of the stuff on Arutz Sheva?
Do you have a link to this?
'Haaretz' is in its editorial writer, and with significant exceptions by and large a treasonous newspaper. A good share of its editorial writers support Israel's enemies. This is not news and it is not the exclusive prerogative of the current editor. It is a long – term policy in effect so long as Amos Schocken controls the paper.
We should not be compared to the Nazis as theirs was a government orchestrated program, however, the Europeans (Germans) had spent centuries thinking and speaking and preaching about Jews as "the other" and vilifying them. Can you say that we are not doing that to the Arabs? We use hate speech and incitement about our fellow Jews when we disagree with them. Are we kinder to the Arabs? Time to address the issues. Stop the name calling.
convice ARENS & HAREL to use their columns to take off their gloves and attack the HAARETZ editors & journalsts.
This is breaking my heart and… on tears… ];
Shoshana,I fully agree with what you write.

An independent advocacy non-profit has concluded that a piece of legislation dating to 1982 and dubbed the "automatic transfer law," which compels children ages of 15 or 16 charged with certain felony offenses to be charged as an adult, has significantly problematic consequences that go beyond discouraging rehabilitation and positive development of those sentenced.
The 21-page report by the Juvenile Justice Initiative calls for Illinois to leave it up to juvenile court judges' to decide whether a child under 18 should be charged in adult court or not. The report, which focused on Cook County – which includes Chicago – laid out data found by following 257 children under the age of 17, who were held in juvenile detention court in Cook but prosecuted and sentenced in adult court from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012.
Elizabeth Clarke, president and founder of the Juvenile Justice Initiative, said she was "shocked" by the findings of their study, which demonstrated that 90 percent of automatic transfer cases were guilty pleas, and often these minors received neither a trial nor a court plea.
"Even research from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) shows that children sentenced in adult court are 38 percent more likely to commit a crime than those who stay in juvenile court," Clarke said. "The persistence of an automatic transfer law perpetuates these vicious cycles of violence that leaves a terrible scar on communities."
Data from the study revealed that more than half of the juvenile cases tried in adult court result in convictions of lesser offenses that do not make automatic transfers necessary in the first place.
The study calls Illinois' juvenile justice procedures "contrary to youth development research" because it doesn't take into account the fact that youth are more prone to impulsive and risky behavior, and that that delinquent conduct can be a phase rather than a permanent indicator of a growing youth's character and future. Once children have an adult criminal record, educational and employment opportunities that can facilitate rehabilitation become more difficult to obtain.
Illinois is one of 14 states that still follows an automatic transfer law, and the United States is the only country that allows automatic transfer of juveniles to be charged and convicted as adults.
"This outdated legislation goes against international human rights laws and putting children in adult courts should be seen more as a last resort option," Clarke said.
By not allowing automatic transfer to be the norm, the report urges those to abandon the outdated practice to protect victims, children and taxpayers more effectively than it does now.
"Like other states, Illinois should leave it up to the juvenile court judges to determine whether children should be sentenced in adult court," Clarke said.
The following film was prepared by Alicia Healy and the Juvenile Justice Initiative:
The following is an OpEd piece written by Gretchen McDowell, the JJI's Board Chair and past president of the Illinois Parent Teacher Association, which originally ran in The State Journal-Register here.
Recognizing that children are different than adults, Illinois started the first juvenile court in the country in 1899. Within 25 years nearly every state had one, and the idea spread internationally, too.
More than 30 years ago, these protections were eroded by "automatic transfer" laws that send youth offenders to adult court based solely on age and charge. Illinois is one of only 14 states that do this.
These automatic adult trial laws are unfair and do not protect the public.
First, when our state processes youth through adult criminal courts, it sends them into harsh justice and corrections systems that deny them the possibility of growing up and living normal lives.
These laws look only at age and charged offense. They fail to take into consideration differences between youth and adults, and they fail to consider individual characteristics, such as mental health, education, family and other background information.
This contradicts the purpose of juvenile court — to make individual determinations about youth and rehabilitate them accordingly.
Second, the mandatory exclusion policy actually decreases public safety. A recent analysis by the U.S. Department of Justice examined the paths of youth charged with similar crimes and found that juvenile offenders sent to adult prison were more likely to reoffend than those who remained in the juvenile system.
Rep. Elaine Nekritz, D-Northbrook, has proposed a solution. House Bill 4538 would provide discretion to juvenile court judges to hear evidence and decide whether prosecuting a youth in adult criminal court is the right thing to do.
In fact, Illinois already grants juvenile judges this ability for all crimes that are not automatically excluded from juvenile court. This proposed statute sets forth factors that the juvenile judge must consider in determining whether to transfer the individual juvenile to adult court, including the youth's age, previous offenses, abuse or neglect, mental health issues, circumstances surrounding the offense and the advantages of treatment in the juvenile justice system.
These are the same factors the U.S. Supreme Court considers essential in determining the sentence of a juvenile.
Under Nekritz's proposal, this individualized approach would be applied to all charges brought against juveniles. Any juvenile offender over 13 who should be prosecuted in adult criminal court would still be sent there if a juvenile judge makes that determination.
But, again, there are juveniles who would be better served by the juvenile justice system — for instance, a youth not charged with a crime himself but charged by association for the actions of his acquaintance. The juvenile court judge would be able to take this into account when deciding whether the youth should remain in juvenile court or be sent to adult criminal court.
The U.S. Supreme Court has told us that criminal laws that fail to take into account a defendant's youthfulness are flawed. It is time for Illinois to listen and end mandatory exclusion for good.

Mad Zach Reviews Launchpad Pro
Novation had enormous success with the original Launchpad thanks in large part to viral Youtube performances from artists like M4SONIC and Madeon. However the Launchpad started to show it's age with the release of AKAI APC40 MK2 and Ableton Push. Novation released the true successor to the original launchpad, the Launchpad Pro with RGB velocity sensitive pads, note mode, and several new mode buttons for extra control. Is it worth the upgrade? Mad Zach puts the Launchpad Pro to the test.

Supplemental Educational Services
- ISBE received a waiver from NCLB Supplemental Educational Services (SES) provisions. Therefore, there will be no SES requirements beginning with the 2014-15 school year.
What are Supplemental Educational Services?
Under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, Section 1116 (e), students from low-income families attending schools that do not make adequate yearly progress for three or more years are eligible to receive Supplemental Educational Services (SES). ISBE's Data Analysis Division determines school status for each school year and publishes a list.
School districts are responsible for funding these services, which must be provided outside the normal school day, through their Title I, Part A funds. The ISBE must develop and apply objective criteria to create a list of approved SES providers.
As required by the United States Department Education, ISBE provides assistance to districts with the implementation of the SES requirements and regulates the SES provider services.
What are the Goals of SES?
- To provide opportunities to students to help them increase their academic achievement.
- To provide options to parents to help them ensure that their children receive a quality education.
- To provide incentives to districts to improve schools in need of improvement.
For questions regarding Supplemental Educational Services please contact the ISBE SES staff.

"Handbags speak volumes about the women who carry them – Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was no different."
According to the Daily Beast's style and culture correspondent Robin Givham, it's no surprise that a handbag should feature so prominently in the Thatcher bio-pic Iron Lady; after all, it's both symbolic and functional.
"During Thatcher's tenure as prime minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990, her handbags came to signify femininity and toughness. Their style was unassuming: slender, structured, solid, and ladylike. They looked perfectly at home with Thatcher's dignified suits and oh-so-British hats," she says.
"Thatcher didn't need to wield a gavel. She could place her bag on the table to announce her presence. This swaggering announcement of womanhood was a way to consume space and demand attention. It marked her territory. To be sideswiped by Thatcher was to be 'handbagged'."
[nggallery template=carousel id=109]
"The fashion industry has long known that women – even those who shun clothing fads and have little interest in navigating life in impractical shoes – share a certain illogical passion for handbags," says Givham.
"Pocketbooks can signify a common touch among the most rarified. And the 'right' bag can make a woman of humble beginnings feel as though she has achieved a level of success.
"Queen Elizabeth II regularly carries a handbag although she clearly does not need to carry keys, cash, or identification. Reports have suggested that she keeps lucky charms, family pictures and a makeup case in her handbag.
"First Lady Michelle Obama can often be seen with a handbag. A blue Reed Krakoff tote is a favorite. What could a first lady–with Secret Service only a few steps behind–possibly need to keep so close? (A lipstick? First ladies don't put on lipstick in public.) The handbag is part of being regular–a way of staying real inside the bubble."

Motown began in 1959 with an $800 loan. Berry Gordy Jr. took his idea of starting a record company to his family's savings fund. With a loan from the fund (to be paid back at six percent interest) and his flair for recognizing a hit, Gordy cultivated an array of Detroit stars, forming the most successful record label of his time.
Gordy was born in Detroit on November 28, 1929. After dropping out of school in the eleventh grade, he spent time as a boxer but also harbored a passion for music. He quit fighting and began writing songs until he was drafted to serve in the Korean War in 1951.
Upon his return from military service, he opened up a jazz record store, which failed after two years. He took a job in a Lincoln-Mercury assembly plant, composing songs while he was fastening upholstery to car frames. The monotonous job was not enough for Gordy, and he quit to follow his dream of making a full-time career in music, eventually leading him to create his own record label.
He called it "Motown" to capture the essence of Detroit, the Motor City. "In tribute to what I had always felt was the down-home quality of warm, soulful country-hearted people I grew up around, I used 'town' in place of 'city,'" Gordy wrote in his autobiography. The home of Motown was 2648 West Grand Boulevard, a place Gordy used as his center of operations and his own residence. He called it "Hitsville, USA."
Gordy cultivated a family at Hitsville. A perfectionist and shrewd businessman, Gordy once called The Miracles back to the studio at 3:00 a.m. to recut "Shop Around." He nurtured the talent of Motown superstars, changing the names of the Primettes, Diane Ross, and eleven-year-old Stevland Hardaway Morris to, respectively, the Supremes, Diana Ross, and Stevie Wonder.
With his instinct for tracking down exceptional artists, Gordy brought a multitude of names into the national spotlight, including the Jackson 5, the Four Tops, the Temptations, Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye, the Marvelettes, Mary Wells, and Martha Reeves and the Vandellas. Gordy always had an innate aptitude for recognizing a hit, but he sought input from his team, often asking, "If you were hungry and had only one dollar would you buy this record or a hot dog?"
By the late 1960s, Gordy became interested in Los Angeles and the film and TV industries. In 1972 he brought Motown from Detroit to Los Angeles for good. Motown would never be the same after this move. Wild rumors plagued the company—that the Mafia infiltrated it, that Gordy was cheating his artists. Some artists began to leave the company, including the Jackson 5 and the Temptations. "When Motown left Detroit, there was a great void," said the Four Tops' Larry Payton.
In Los Angeles, Motown Industries began losing money by the mid-1980s. Gordy sold the company to MCA in 1988, the same year he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The golden age of Motown changed the face of popular music, creating timeless songs and a distinctive sound that defined an era.

Why take out burks a d Hayward. Their energy and defense way above foye and Williams
The only reason Burks went to the bench is so Foye's feelings wouldn't be hurt.
And that epitomizes Corbin's coaching style.
I'd like to say a big *** you to all the lazy ass Jazz players on the court right now.
Look like they don't even want to be there.
Make jazzfanz UGLI Again
I can't take any more of Ty.
I just can't.
If the FO doesn't make moves to force his hand after this season to protect him from himself I will need a break until Ty isn't extended.
Put these two bums back in in place of Burke and Hayeard and boom 8-0 run
Long Live JYD
when is corbin gonna realize :
1. Tinsley plays better with the 2nd unit than watson.
2. foye and marvin williams aint getting it done and they are 1 year rentals
3. big al plays no defense
4. kanter favors play tough
5. kanter favors play defense
6.kanter fg% 50% big al sub 50
7. veterans have no magical powers
8. BURKS FAVORS KANTER need 28+ minutes.
What a tough game to watch.
You keep waiting for them to explode, but the Warriors keep hitting those 3s.
Our offense is brutal
"les grandes défaites forgent les grands hommes" - Rudy Gobert
Oh god not Earl
The Jazz need to add Stockton to the coaching staff. Our PG's can't pass for sh*t.
I feel sorry for millsap playing his majority minutes with these bunch of losers
Im sick of Big Als jumpshot, he needs to go in the paint more
burks still leading the team in +-

I have been trying in vain to attach an Excel macro I use for these pesky stats problems. Anyway, I get a p-value of 0.274. Which means we have a "DO NOT REJECT H0". Assuming a max alpha level of .10. That's as high as I usually go.
There is not enough evidence to conclude that there is a difference in the means.
Most good calculators do ANOVA test. Even the TI-83. Run your data through that.
Here is a screen capture from my TI-92. The formulas for these things are cumbersome. Surely, you don't have one of those anachronistic teachers who insists, in this day and age, on doing these things by hand. If you do, tell them I said to put their slide rule away and come into the 21st century.

What is in this article?:
- Herbicide-resistant marestail drives fall weed control
- Weed control's yield impact
Think Different
Fewer spring (marestail) weed worries, earlier planting access, reduced black cutworm and SCN overwintering host potential and reduced equipment needs and field passes are why some growers apply residual herbicides in the fall.
Charles Hardy's fall residual herbicide applications enable him to grow corn, soybeans and wheat on several thousand acres in Sedalia, Mo., with one less combine, one less planter and one less trip across the fields.
Because of their reliance on effective herbicidal weed control, no-till and strip-till growers battling winter annual weeds, especially herbicide-tolerant marestail, appear to have the most to gain from applying residual herbicides in the fall. This image, taken April 29 in Houghton, Iowa, compares a field treated Nov. 28, 2012, with 1 ounce of DuPont Basis Blend, 0.15 ounce of Express TotalSol and 10 ounces of 2-4,D against an untreated check.
More adverse spring weather and the northern spread of herbicide-resistant marestail find more reduced-tillage farmers considering fall residual herbicide applications. "Fall applications have risen dramatically in the last few years and will continue to grow," says Regan Wear, CHS agronomy manager in Shipman, Ill. "Erratic, wet, cold springs have narrowed the planting window and fueled interest in fall residual herbicide applications because they really sharpen up timing the following spring."
Key to the fall residual herbicide application decision is to determine whether these applications' yield and income contributions will offset the investment.
Tangible ROI
These factors may contribute to the yield and profit impact of fall residual herbicide applications
- Planting earlier in warmer, cleaner seed beds
- Reduced need/expense for spring burndown herbicide applications
- Reduced weed competition
- Decreased SCN and black-cutworm damage from controlling alternate host weeds.
"The return on investment from fall applications comes from the ability to plant early," Wear says. "Winter annuals (see sidebar) can create a salad bowl that's really hard to get through and can force extra tillage passes to get the weeds down.
"Fields sprayed in the fall are our first fields planted and could see a 20% increase in yields compared to corn planted later." "Farmers invest so much in seed today," says Jeff Carpenter, DuPont Crop Protection corn herbicide portfolio manager, "that $12-$15 spent in the fall can result in better spring weed control and earlier planting so that the seed has greater opportunity to achieve its genetic potential."
Long-term, fall residual herbicide applications can help protect the productivity and land values by preventing herbicide-resistant weeds' establishment. Fall residual herbicide applications can also add an additional site of action to resistant weed-management programs, Carpenter adds.

Lobularia (coral)
Lobularia is a genus of soft corals in the family Alcyoniidae.[1]
Species[edit source | edit]
According to the World Register of Marine Species, none of the species previously classified in this genus are accepted as members. So while the genus exists, it is unoccupied.
Previously classified species and their new accepted classifications are as follows:
- Lobularia digitata (Linnaeus, 1758) accepted as Alcyonium digitatum Linnaeus, 1758
- Lobularia pauciflora (Ehrenberg, 1834) accepted as Cladiella pauciflora Ehrenberg, 1834
- Lobularia rubiformis Eherenberg, 1834 accepted as Gersemia rubiformis (Ehrenberg, 1834)
- Lobularia spinulosum (Delle Chiajie, 1822) accepted as Paralcyonium spinulosum Delle Chiaje, 1822
References[edit source | edit]

Alcyoniidae is a family of leathery or soft corals in the phylum Cnidaria.[2]
A colony of leathery coral is stiff, hard and inflexible. It is composed of tiny polyps projecting from a shared leathery tissue. Members of the family may have two kinds of polyps; the autozooids have long trunks and eight tiny branched tentacles and project from the shared leathery tissue while the siphonozooids remain below the surface and pump water for the colony. They appear as tiny hollows or mounds among the taller autozooids. Different genera have different proportions of these two kinds of polyps. The autozooids only emerge when the colony is fully submerged.[2]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
Leathery corals occur globally in temperate and tropical seas. They are often pioneer reef species and are found in wave-exposed areas of reef crests, less turbid waters in lagoons, on steep slopes, under overhangs and at depths of thirty metres or even deeper.[3]
Leathery coral polyps include endosymbiotic algae called zooxanthallae. The algae undergo photosynthesis and produce sugars from sunlight. This food is shared with the host, which itself provides the algae with minerals and shelter. Periodically, the surface layer of the leathery tissue is shed. This seems to be a mechanism for ridding the colony of unwanted algal growth.[2]
In a study on the Great Barrier Reef, it was found that the population of these corals was very stable. There was little predation, low rates of growth, reproduction and mortality, few new colonies came into existence and few disappeared over a three-year period.[3]

Angels, Rangers renew rivalry
This was supposed to be the year when the Angels-Rangers rivalry became the West Coast version of Red Sox-Yankees.
Both teams had certainly spent money this winter like those two East Coast superpowers. But the Angels' 6-14 start took the starch out of that storyline.
The Angels have been revived since then -- but have been unable to make a serious dent in the Rangers' lead in the AL West despite their 44-29 record since Mike Trout's promotion in late April. The next two weeks could certainly change the distance between the two division rivals -- one way or the other. Starting with this weekend's series in Anaheim, the Angels and Rangers play seven times in the next 13 games.
"It's not quite the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry but it's getting there," Angels veteran Torii Hunter said of the rivalry. "It's not heated like we hate each other. But it's competitiveness, a lot of competitiveness, trying to beat each other.
"The Yankees and Red Sox have all that history. You can't replace the history they have. But we're boiling. We're the new generation -- like YouTube or Instagram. We're the new thing. ... Whenever we play the Rangers, it's a lot of fun. The fans really get into it. The media gets into it. There's a little extra 'Oomph' from both sides."

JIM CAREY - Famous Bipolar Comedian & Actor
Born on 17th January 1962, James Eugene "Jim" Carrey is an American comedian and actor. He began performing as a comedian at an early age and then branched into acting. He first worked as an actor in small television and film companies. He took up roles in many movies which were hits in the movie industry. He earned a record amount of 20 million dollars in one of his comedy movies. His movies won awards and he also won personal awards as well.
Doctors suggest that Jim's role in the movie "Me Myself and Irene" suggests that he had a split personality and that he could be violent. Later on, Carrey himself made it public and disclosed that he was suffering from depression. At 16, his family had problems that affected him. He and his other siblings had to work as security and janitors. He was angry because of this and became very aggressive. This is a clear sign of depression and could be attributed to bipolar disorder. He got so depressed and sometimes would not talk to anyone but cry.
He suffered from depression even at the peak of success, which he publicly acknowledged and asked for help. He acknowledged the "peaks and valleys" At a point when his mother was sick, he used to hit himself on the walls and let himself fall on the stairs. He later admitted to a newspaper that depression was the motivation behind the comedies he produced. Many people attributed his depression to bipolar disorder. He was put on the anti-depressant drug Prozac, which he used for a long time. He managed to get off the drug and now resorts to religion to deal with his depression. Carrey is also speculated to have a chipped tooth, which may have contributed to his low self image and depression.
Carrey married twice; first to Melisa Womer whom he stayed with for eight years and had a daughter with her. He then got married to Lauren Holly. Divorcing Holly after a year, he dated several other women, but those relationships never lasted. His last was Jenny McCarthy whom Carey dated five years but announced their breakup in April 2010.
Despite his bouts of depression, Carrey has chalked a lot of success in the movie world. He has won the hearts of many movie fans as a great actor. His comedies are also loved by both young and old. Carrey had a grandchild too, who is the child of his 21 year old daughter. He now lives in Brentwood, California.

Lisa Kudrow Nude graduated from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychobiology. At first, she wanted to pursue a career in research, so she returned to Los Angeles to begin working with her father. However, Lisa got inspired to perform by one of her brother's friends, comedian Jon Lovitz, and so the tall (5' 9") blond-haired, green-eyed beauty entered show biz. Lisa auditioned for the improv theater group, The Groundlings, based in Los Angeles. Cynthia Szigeti, a well-known improv teacher, took Lisa under her wing. In that class, Lisa became a friend of Conan O'Brien.

When I was in pre-school, my grandma came in for Grandparents Day.
That afternoon, our teacher asked us to draw a picture for our guests. While all of the other students excitedly drew elaborate houses, families and animals—which I find hard to believe since we were 4 years old, but so says my grandma—I plucked a purple crayon out of the box, drew a single line on the paper and announced that I was finished. It's a happy coincidence my favorite book was "Harold and the Purple Crayon."
While I still see this purple "drawing" as an act of young artistic genius reminiscent of Picasso and Harold's early years, my grandma saw it as an embarrassment.
This is why the arts are important. Without the proper instruction, I may have gone through life with nothing but a purple crayon in my hand, drawing unintelligible squiggles throughout high school. I'd probably become very rich and revered after my death, as all geniuses are, but until that time my artistic ability would be pitied and my family would be shamed.
Fortunately, one property management company is doing their part to encourage artistic talent within every student—and decorate their hallways along the way.
Chicago-based Sherman Residential purchased Tribeca, a 398-unit mid-rise in Plano, Texas, last September and decided to leave the decorating up to local art students. Instead of spending nearly $10,000 to purchase outside art, the company gave the money to the schools and embraced the opportunity to support art programs faced with major budget cuts.
The company donated a 6-foot-by-4-foot blank canvas and a $50 gift card for art supplies to each school in the local school district with an art program. At the risk of hanging up creations comprised of a single purple line, every completed canvas returned to Tribeca would be put on permanent display in the mid-rise.
The response—and quality of the artwork—was overwhelming, says Debbie Cooper, Senior Property Manager for Tribeca. The community had everything from a group of elementary school students working together on a canvas to an exceptional high school artist who was picked by her teacher to paint the entire thing herself. No abstract shapes or lines were reported.
Tribeca hosted a reception and gallery event in late April to showcase the artwork, with more than 500 local residents, students, teachers and parents in attendance—many of whom toured Tribeca for the first time.
Cooper says many of the guests were so impressed with the artwork that they wanted to buy it—something I cannot say for my pre-school canvas. While none of the pieces will be sold, all of the artwork will be around years from now in Tribeca for Grandma and Grandpa to admire—or hide their heads in shame—whenever they wish.

College football has always had some annoying players but 2012 looks to provide some top ten picks.
The sport is home to some of the most passionate fans anywhere. Rivalries are personal, recruiting is relentless and Saturdays are war.
A win over a rival, and it's bragging rights for a year. A loss, and well, it's best to just quietly wait for next year.
While the weeks in fall may center around every Saturday, the passion and hate flow much deeper.
You may not like the other team, but there is always that one player that you just find pure annoying.
Whether it was Cam Newton's charismatic denial or Tim Tebow's seemingly endless media coverage, even the game's greatest players can rub a particular fan the wrong way.
So clinch your fists and grind your teeth, we're taking a look at which college football players will have you seeing red when things get kicked off this fall.

Ventilation is essential for the longevity of your boat's interior and the comfort of your crew. Stagnant, moist air can collect in your cabin and compartments, forming a breeding ground for mildew. Fabrics will rot, electronics will corrode and bubbles will form in your hull's gelcoat as moisture on the inside forces the exterior finish to delaminate. In other words, if you love your boat-ventilate. If your vents and hatches are deteriorating, replacing them with new ones will add protection for your boat's interior. Old, warped hatches with decayed trim rings don't seal well, allowing moisture in and heat out.
A homemade wood jig, a C-clamp, a blade and a few choice words... and you carefully pry the old hatch off.
Making the cut: Use a hole saw for the radiused corners. Connect the circles with your jigsaw.
Finished product... Looks great!
A vent in your deck allows the compartments belowdecks to breathe. Experts recommend that the air inside a boat be changed completely at least once per hour. Vents and hatches help prevent mildew and damage while underway as well as when moored or at anchor, so we definitely recommend having plenty of them. However, not all ventilation projects are the same. Be realistic about the job and your level of carpentry skill, after all, you're putting some sizable holes into your boat.
While most of us can install a simple low-profile ventilator on a horizontal surface, putting a new hatch or cowl ventilator into a cambered deck, or where there are additional complications such as wiring or plumbing, may be a job better left for a marine professional.

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Smart Sandbox is MySandbox. Sort of.
A few weeks ago, Sandbox officially went to public beta. I would like to explain what it is and what it is good for, but Jayvee of A Bugged Life has beaten me to the punch and has put it more eloquently, as quoted below.
What is Sandbox?
Sandbox is an online platform that allows anyone to connect with friends and share blog posts, photos and videos. Apart from this, Sandbox is also an online content store where you can buy music and games. So what sets it apart from other social networks? Sandbox is also locally developed and thus there is a continuous stream of offline fulfillment through giveaways, raffles and prizes.
In other words, Sandbox is in the business of building communities because not only is there interaction between your friends, there is also conversation between the developers and the users. In marketing terms, it isn't just horizontal exchanges between consumers, but also vertically, where the product talks back and gives value to insights and suggestions from the community — alongside promotions and giveaways! – SOURCE
I was given the chance of participating in the private beta testing phase of Sandbox, and I have seen its growth and changes, from the very minute detail of a typo to the addition of a major feature. I wasn't all impressed with it at first, but I can't really blame the developers. It is, after all, in the very early stages of development.
Now, I'm the type of geek that gets his hands dirty without reading the manual first, so when I check the manual is when I find a bug. I look for answers first, and upon finding no documentation whatsoever, inform and suggest solution/s to the developers. After all, that's what a beta tester is supposed to do.
Sandbox has two interfaces: web and mobile. Sandbox Web caters to the user that prefers accessing a site via a proper web browser (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, etc.), while Sandbox Mobile, also accessible via a computer's web browser, is designed with the mobile-toting geek in mind. Sandbox Web is where most of the promotions and giveaways are found. From here, you can get free games, music, photos, etc. To get the free items, Sandbox will send a link to the mobile number you subscribed with upon joining. Unfortunately, you will need to be a Smart subscriber to be able to get those free items. Being Smart-powered, it wasn't a surprise. Also, these free items aren't available internationally.
Sandbox Mobile, when accessed using a web browser, displays three columns, but only displays the center column when accessed using a mobile phone. However, this interface is basically a skinned Mostyle interface, and the backend is also a customized Mostyle engine. Mostyle is a mobile site generation engine that simply asks for some information, and with a few clicks of the mouse, a mobile site is born. At least, that's what I think it is. Currently, users are allowed to create up to two mobile sites.
In summary, Sandbox is a mega mashup of services and web apps. It tries to put together a number of social network sites into one big portal that is designed to be accessed on a mobile phone. It allows users to post status updates and blog entries, share videos and photos, and provide a markteplace of sorts for selling and buying stuff. It is still in beta, and a lot of features are being added as of this writing. Hopefully, all pending issues and bugs will be fixed when it goes gold. User adoption rates will basically dictate if this service, developed by Pinoys for Pinoys, will sink or swim.

Tedisco to Colleagues: 'Just Pass the Budget'
"Read my necktie"
March 15, 2005
Assemblyman James N. Tedisco (R,C,I-Schenectady, Saratoga) today announced that he will wear his "pass the budget" tie every day until the state budget is passed. "For the past 20 years, the state budget has been late. This dysfunctional budget process is so serious that, if we didn't laugh on occasion, we would cry. But my colleagues in the minority conference and I are dead serious about getting it done on time. And we are asking our majority colleagues and Speaker Sheldon Silver to be dead serious about it also. The message is 'just pass the budget.' That's why I'm saying to my colleagues and the Assembly speaker, 'read my necktie,'" said Tedisco. Tedisco stated that his black tie, with the message "pass the budget" embroidered in block letters down the front, is not intended to make a fashion statement, but rather a legislative accountability statement. He said the No. 1 priority should be an on-time, balanced budget. "It's time to get in legislators' faces. Every time my colleagues see me, until the budget is passed, they will be reminded of the urgency and their responsibility to pass the first balanced, on-time budget in 21 years. We have a responsibility to the people of New York state to pass this budget before April 1," Tedisco said. "If we cannot guarantee the people that much, then all of the legislative reforms we have passed will have been in vain. "Twenty straight years of late budgets have shown us one thing: that late budgets are not just tied to revenue or spending priorities. Budgets have been late in years when there have been large surpluses, and in years when there have been deficits. What has been missing in these past 20 years is the will to get it done. Having a budget in place by April 1 has lost its urgency in the state Legislature. We need to get that sense of urgency back by sending a message every day to pass the budget." Tedisco's hope is that his pledge to wear the tie every day will provide his colleagues and majority leaders with the constant reminder that passing the budget is the Legislature's primary responsibility. "They will see it in the hallways, in the elevators, in committee meetings and throughout the Capitol. I will not take it off until the budget is finally approved," Tedisco added.

Transforming Education
Learning to Implement Effective Strategies for Students with Autism
Through Quick and Handy tools published by Autism Asperger Publishing Co.
Autism is a developmental disorder appearing in the first three years of a child's life that affects the child's brain development. According to the Centers for Disease Control (2012), one out of every 110 children has some form of autism. The incidence for boys is even higher at one out of every 70 boys. Autism Spectrum Disorders, a cluster of conditions that vary in character and severity, occur in all ethnic and socioeconomic groups and affect every age group.
For children with autism, a type of Autism Spectrum Disorder, delays in social interaction and communication present challenges for their own adjustment and for the adults who care for them. Children's difficulties are typically evident in impaired social interaction (e.g., avoidance of eye contact), communication skills (e.g., impediments in learning language), and unusual repetitive interests (e.g., repeatedly flipping through pages of a book). Although the characteristics of autism may change and become less severe with age and treatment, autism has no known cure.
Without special training, parents and teachers regularly find themselves unprepared to support a child with autism. Parents may be puzzled by the vast amount of technical and sometimes inaccurate information that exists about the needs of children with autism. Teachers and other practitioners may struggle to find accessible advice for including children with autism in their classroom and addressing their unique social and behavioral issues.
The perspectives and responsibilities of adults who educate children with autism have inspired UNC special education professors Robin Brewer and Tracy Gershwin Mueller to team up and translate autism and behavioral research into a unique set of publications for teachers and parents. The Strategies at Hand: Quick and Handy Strategies for Working with Students on the Autism Spectrum and Strategies at Hand: Quick and Handy Positive Behavioral Support Strategies provide practical interventions that are based in the latest research in the field of autism and behavior.
"The number one question we get when we present to educators is, 'I have a child who does this (fill in the blank), what do I do?'" Dr. Mueller said. "My answer is that every child is unique and every need is different, and consequently, there is no simple list of interventions or 'recipes' to use. However, we wanted to come up with something that is packed full of interventions and has been validated in tackling common situations for children who have autism." Their work has gained tremendous support from the Colorado Department of Education and the Council for Exceptional Children.
The first Strategies at Hand guide focuses on working specifically with children with autism and uses straightforward language so that teachers, teaching assistants, administrators, and the general public can understand the characteristics of children with autism without needing much background knowledge on the condition. The second guide, written much like the first, focuses on Positive Behavior Support Strategies that can be used for all students, not just those with special needs. Both guides offer a variety of strategies that can be implemented schoolwide, classwide, and individually in a classroom or at home.
"When creating our Positive Behavior Support Strategies publication, we considered one of our mantras; that is, that we shouldn't develop an individualized behavior plan for a student unless we've tried schoolwide and classwide strategies first," Dr. Brewer said. "We know there may be other strategies that we can implement for everyone, including students with behavioral problems, that will prevent the behavior." Therefore, readers of their publications learn new skills that will benefit not only children with autism but many other students in their charges as well.
The investment it takes to learn how to assess students' behaviors and determine which practical strategies to use in particular situations can pay enormous dividends for teachers and students alike. "Our research shows that early intervention for 20-25 hours per week (regardless of the chosen program) can lead to good results for most students," Dr. Brewer said. "The earlier the intervention, the better the results. Some children can now be identified as early as 12 to 14 months, and this early intervention is critical."
Reaction to the two books by parents, teachers, and other experts in special education has been heartening. "Our next publication focuses on helping educators understand the special education law, and another will include strategies for teaching students with severe needs," Dr. Mueller said. "The feedback we've received has all been positive. People like the "Strategies at Hand" books — they are handy, inexpensive, and very user-friendly."
