This was supposed to be about The Once and Future King but I can't get into the next book. It feels entirely nonsensical but also just really dull.
The Sword in the Stone was entertaining enough, though it did entirely have that feeling that the author didn't even remotely entertain the idea that women or girls would want to read the book. Let's say charitably, that it didn't pass the test. I wouldn't say it's super sexist, just that it has an absence of women in it (there are a couple but they barely get a few pages).
I still quite liked it, though it was a bit whimsical for my liking and I wasn't quite prepared for the surreal bits. Merlyn is living backwards through time, so he sometimes mentions modern things but then so do many of the other characters which makes no sense.
I kept on mentally comparing it to the Disney version (I think Disney probably took all the best bits). Sometimes when Wart was being changed into yet another random animal, I just rolled my eyes. I mean, what was the point with the whole badger episode?
Being unable to get into the next books is somewhat infuriating, given that I managed to get through bloody Cryptonomicon. However, there's just not enough context for everything that the characters are doing. There's a whole other thread of characters that we get introduced but they:
- seem to just be children
- just ask about stories a lot
They're confused about what is going on all the time and therefore I'm confused all the time. Then it jumps to Arthur being absolutely thick. That was entertaining when he was about 12 but now he's about 25 and still a bit of an idiot. It's too whimsical for me to want to follow, basically.
Also, given the start, with all the women being basically evil (in the first chapter, one boils a cat alive) I don't think I'm going to like it as much. It very much carries on with the boys own adventure feel and so it does nothing for me.
Anyway, maybe I'll try again later.
3/5 stars for the Sword in the Stone anyway.

The present invention relates to a covered visor mirror and particularly to improved means for mounting the cover to the mirror frame.
Illuminated visor mirrors with a cover are becoming increasingly important and popular as a vehicle accessory. Covers for illuminated mirrors are important for a number of reasons, some of which are to cover the mirror surfaces at the head level of the vehicle passengers or driver which poses a significant hazard in the form of potential glass shattering resulting in serious injury in the event of an accident. Covers are important when the mirror is not in use so as to eliminate stray light reflections which cause a distraction to the vehicle operator. Also, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,926,470, issued Dec. 16, 1975, to Konrad H. Marcus, and 4,075,468, issued Feb. 21, 1978, to Konrad H. Marcus, both of which are assigned to the present assignee, covers provide a shield when the light is used for reading material such as a map. Covers also provide an advantage from the appearance standpoint.
However, visor mirrors of the type to which the present invention pertain as represented by the abovementioned patents are rotatably mounted to the mirror frame using hinge pins having crank arms which extend over the center of rotation of the hinge pins. This requires a separate spring coupled from each end of the hinge pin arms to the mirror frame. Such construction, therefore, requires separate crank arms and springs which must be coupled to the hinge pins and the mirror frame. Inasmuch as one of the design considerations is to make the assembly as thin as possible so the visor does not become thick and bulky, severe limitations are placed on the placement of springs. If the assembly and trimming of the package with respect to the visor is not carefully achieved, the springs can rub or catch against upholstery surrounding the frame causing noisy operation of the cover. Also, the spring is subject to fatigue after considerable use.
The present invention significantly simplifies the mounting of the cover to the mirror frame by providing hinge means comprising a pair of hinge pins or pintles extending from opposite ends of the cover and forming the axis of rotation for the cover. The pintles include camming surfaces and are received by integrally molded resilient sockets cooperating with the pintles for moving the cover from a fully closed position smoothly to a fully open position whereby the resilient pintle receiving sockets effect the snap, open, and closed action of the cover and hold it in the open or closed position securely to prevent rattling of the cover in either position.
The frame and cover can be integrally molded of a resilient polymeric material thereby reducing the cost of the unit as compared to the prior art and also providing a highly reliable system having less likelihood of failure. Such construction also permits the cover and frame to assume a minimum thickness desirable in the visor environment. These and other features, objects, and advantages of the present invention can best be understood by referring to the following description thereof together with reference to the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a lighted and covered visor mirror of the present invention shown with the cover in an open position;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary exploded view of the structure shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged rear elevational view of the mirror frame and cover with the cover shown in a closed position;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary end elevational view of the hinge means of the present invention in the cover closed position as viewed from the direction of arrow IV of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary end elevational view of the hinge means of the present invention shown in the cover opening position and viewed in the same direction as FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary rear elevational view of the hinge means of the present invention at the right end of the unit shown in FIG. 3; and
FIG. 7 is an enlarged fragmentary end elevational view of the hinge means of the present invention illustrating the manner of assembly of the cover to the mirror frame.
Referring initially to FIGS. 1 and 2, a visor 10 is disclosed incorporating the present invention and is shown in FIG. 1 mounted on the passenger or right side of a vehicle. The visor comprises a visor body 12 made of a core member injection molded of a suitable polymeric material such as polypropylene and including a central rectangular recess 14 (FIG. 2) for receiving therein a visor mirror frame assembly 20. The core of the visor is covered by a suitable upholstery material or textured to conform to the upholstery of the vehicle interior and is trimmed along the edge by a suitable bead 11. A post 13 extends from one end of the visor and detachably couples to a bracket 15 in the headliner 16 of the vehicle. The opposite end of the visor includes a pivot mounting bracket 17 allowing the visor to be moved down into the position shown in FIG. 1 or upwardly against the headliner 16 in a conventional stowed position. Also bracket 17 permits the visor to swivel to a side window if desired. The visor body 12 is substantially the same and manufactured in the same manner as that disclosed in the above identified U.S. Pat. No. 4,075,468, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The visor mirror assembly 20 comprises a generally rectangular frame 22 having a central rectangular opening 23 into which there is secured a mirror 24. On the front of frame 22 there is provided a peripheral trim flange 25 which surrounds and extends over the edge of recess 14 in the visor body when assembly 20 is mounted as shown in FIG. 1. Posts 19 are provided within recess 14 for receiving screws securing assembly 20 in the visor body.
On opposite sides of the rectangular opening 23 there is provided vertically oriented rectangular openings 26 for receiving therein electrical sockets holding in turn cartridge type 12 VDC lamps 27 positioned on opposite sides of mirror 24. Lamps 27 direct light through lenses 28 (FIG. 1) forwardly of the assembly to illuminate the face of a passenger and focus the light away from the driver's side to permit use of the lighted mirror without interfering with the driver. Lenses 28 are snap-fitted into apertures 26 to permit lamps 27 to be readily replaced.
A switch 29 is provided for selectively applying electrical power to lamps 28 for brightening and dimming the lamps. Integral with the assembly, as disclosed in the above identified patent, is an electrical switch cooperating with the cover 60 hingedly coupled to frame 22 for applying electrical power to the lamps. Thus, when the cover is opened, electrical power is applied to the lamps and when closed, the lamps are extinguished. For this purpose, an electrical conductor 30 is provided and supplies operating power from the vehicle battery to the lighting circuit for the lamps 28. The lamp control electrical circuits and their mounting to the frame 22 are disclosed in greater detail in the above identified U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,926,470 and 4,075,468 the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. Having briefly described the overall visor construction, a detailed description of the frame and the improved hinge means mounting the cover to the frame is now presented with reference to FIGS. 3 through 7.
As best seen in FIG. 3, surrounding the central opening 23 for receiving a mirror 24 in frame 22 is a rectangular ridge 31 into which the mirror extends and which can be staked over the edge of the mirror edges holding it in position with framing portion 32 contacting the forward peripheral edge of the mirror and the staked over ridge 31 compressibly holding the mirror and any backing plate associated with the mirror in place within aperture 23. Below the left aperture 26 for one of the lenses 28 there is provided a rectangular opening 33 permitting the switch 29 (FIGS. 1 and 2) to extend through the frame 22 for access from the front. On the outside edges on the upper and lower corners of each aperture 26 there is integrally formed in frame 22 mounting bosses 34 having apertures 35 extending therethrough permitting a fastening screw to extend into mounting bosses 19 (FIG. 2) of the visor core for securing frame 22 to the visor core.
Along the top edge of frame 22 between the upper framing segment 32 and the upper portion of flange 25 there is provided a slot 36 through which the cover 60 is extended during installation as described in greater detail below. Above slot 36 there is provided a reinforcing ledge 38 extending substantially the width of the frame between the vertically extending side legs of peripheral flange 25. Slot 36 includes a pair of downwardly formed rectangular notches 38 (FIGS. 3 and 6) near opposite ends of frame 22 above apertures 26 providing clearance for a mounting boss 63 near the opposite ends of cover 60. Communicating with notches 38 on the outer edges thereof and integrally formed within the frame member is a pair of sockets 40 which are best seen in FIGS. 4, 5, and 7. Each of the sockets 40 are generally cylindrical and extend longitudinally in alignment with one another on an axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of frame 22. The sockets are integrally formed with and extend inwardly from the sidewalls 42 (FIGS. 3, 4, 5, and 7) which wrap around the apertures 26 and communicates with the rectangular rim 31.
Sockets 40 are substantially identical and include, as best seen in FIGS. 4 through 7, a lower leg 44 and an upper leg 46 with an opening or slot 48 between the ends 45 and 47 of legs 44 and 46, respectively. Slot 48 communicates with the generally cylindrical interior space circumscribed by the arms 44 and 46 which are integrally joined at their ends opposite ends 45 and 47. Lower leg 44 curves upwardly terminating at the end 45 which is inclined upwardly and inwardly toward the center of aperture 48. A longitudinally extending plateau 49 defining an inward lip 50 extends along the inside of lower leg 44 adjacent end 45. Upper leg 46 is curved downwardly and includes an inwardly and downwardly inclined end 47 terminating in a substantially horizontal surface 51 which communicates with an arcuate and cylindrically extending inner surface 52 of each of the sockets. Surface 52 curves for substantially 185 degrees terminating in an inner detent 53 defined by the junction of arcuate section 52 with a convexly curved camming section 54. A forward detent 55 extends between the edge of section 54 and lip 50 extending downwardly from surface 49.
Frame 22 and integral sockets 40 are injection molded of a stiffly resilient material such as a resilient polymeric material including, for example, polycarbonate, such as LEXAN� or the like which permits arms 44 and 46 to be spread apart and resiliently returned to their original position. ABS plastic also could be used in nonlighted visor mirrors with no lamp heat dissipation problem. As will be described in greater detail below, the biasing pressure provided between arms 44 and 46 together with the unique construction of sockets 40 in cooperation with the cover provide the snap, open, and closed action for cover 60 with respect to frame 22.
The cover 60 includes an integrally formed handle 61 (FIGS. 1 and 2) along its forward edge facilitating the opening of the cover by the user when in a closed position. Along the top edge, as best seen in FIG. 6, there is provided a longitudinally extending reinforcing rib 62. Spaced inwardly from each of the opposite sides of cover 60 there is provided an integrally formed mounting boss 63 extending from the rear surface 64 of the cover outwardly. A pair of spaced reinforcing ribs 65 extend from the mounting boss to rib 62. Extending outwardly in axially aligned relationship parallel to the longitudinal axis of cover 60 is a pair of hinge pins or pintles 66. As best seen in FIGS. 4, 5, and 7, each pintle 66 includes camming surfaces 67 and 68 diverging from a rounded apex 69 at one end outwardly at an angle of approximately 60 degrees to an arcuate cylindrically extending surface 70 to form a rounded pie-shaped cross-sectional outer surface configuration. The radius of curvature of surface 70 corresponds to that of arcuate surface 52 of each of the sockets 40. The bosses 63 and pintles 66 are positioned with respect to the sockets 40 integrally formed on frame 22 such that the pintles 66 extend within the sockets as best seen in FIG. 6 with a slight gap 72 between the inner end wall of socket 40 and the outer surface 73 of the mounting boss 63.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention using a cover of 31/4 inches by 81/2 inches, the following dimensions were employed with the LEXAN� material for the cover and frame including the pintles and sockets. The maximum diameter of pintle 66 represented by arrow A in FIG. 4 was 0.19 inches while the dimension across the intersection of surfaces 67 and 68 with curved surface 70 as represented by arrow B in FIG. 4 was 0.17 inches. The flat surfaces 67 and 68 extend approximately 0.14 inches with the rounded edges including apex 69 having a radius of curvature of approximately 0.038 inches. The radius of curvature of surface 70 was approximately 0.069 inches as was the radius of curvature of arcuate surface 52 in the sockets 40. Convexly curved segment 54 has a radius of curvature of 0.094 inches and extends a width of approximately 0.09 inches. The height of convex curve segment 54 is approximately 0.01 inches. The length of the pintles are each 0.30 inches while the sockets have a length of 0.38 inches. The opening 48 between surfaces 49 and 51 was 0.12 inches.
The cover is initially installed to the frame as best seen in FIG. 7 by inserting the forward edge of a cover 60 through slot 36 (FIG. 3) forwardly until the apex 69 of the pintles contact inclined surface 45. The cover is then force-fitted into the sockets by applying suitable pressure spreading arms 44 and 46 with the inclined surfaces 45 and 47 assisting in the spreading of the arms and the insertion of the pintles. The ends of arms 44 and 46 thus lockably secure the pintles within the sockets.
Once the cover is installed, it operates in a manner best seen with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 which in FIG. 4 shows the cover in the closed position whereby the apex 69 of the pintle is seated against the lip 50 in the detent 55. In this position, the arms 44 and 46 assert a compressive pressure against the pintles and convex segment 54 presses against pintle camming surface 67 urging the cover in a counterclockwise position as shown in FIG. 4 holding it securely closed. As the cover is rotated in an opening direction as indicated by arrow C in FIG. 5, apex 69 rides over convex surface 54 spreading the resilient arms 44 and 46 until the tip passes the peak portion of the convex segment 54 and then rides downwardly into the detent 53 slightly beyond the position shown in FIG. 5. In this position, the convex curved segment 54 presses against wall 68 of the pintles holding the cover securely in an open position which is approximately 120 degrees rotated clockwise from the closed position. By providing the camming portion 54, the cover will move from a fully closed to a fully opened position without sticking in a mid position. Also by providing this convexly curved surface together with detents 53 and 55, the cover is securely held in the open or closed position.
The hinge means employed with the covered visor assembly of the present invention naturally can be used for a variety of applications where one object is desired to be pivotally coupled to another. The configuration of the socket with the opening slot facilitates the installation of the cover in the preferred embodiment although other arrangements not employing a longitudinal slot could also be employed so long as the socket provides a biasing pressure against which camming means on the pintles cooperate with camming means on the socket for urging the member between first and second predetermined positions spaced from one another. Also, as long as at least one of the pintles or sockets are resilient, the desired biasing pressure can be established between these elements as they move relative to one another.
It will become apparent to those skilled in the art that these and other modifications to the preferred embodiment of the present invention described and disclosed herein can be made without departing from the spirit or scope thereof as defined by the appended claims.

by Jes Stayton, Greenheart Travel Participant in the High School Abroad Program
Last week there was a holiday from the 19th through the 23rd. This holiday happens every year in Japan and it is a common time to go on trips. My host family and I went on a trip to Kyoto. However, the trip probably wasn't as fun for my host sister as it was for me because she had exams directly after the trip. I don't have to take them because my Japanese isn't good enough. But I have to take the ones in November. Scary thought.
We left at around 8 a.m. on Sunday. Since it was only a two day trip, I brought my clothes in the large backpack I normally used for school in America. I was rather proud of myself for packing so little, until I saw the little backpack my host mother was bringing. My host sister didn't even bring noticeable luggage, just a bag full of study materials and a medium size purse. We drove to a lot, where we parked our car and paid in advance for the space. One of the parking lot employees ferried us to the airport.

1) The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some people come into our lives
And leave footprints on our hearts
And we are never ever the same.
Some people come into our lives
And quickly go... Some stay for awhile
And embrace our silent dreams.
They help us become aware
Of the delicate winds of hope...
And we discover within every human spirit
There are wings yearning to fly.
They help our hearts to see that
The only stairway to the stars
Is woven with dreams...
And we find ourselves
Unafraid to reach high.
They celebrate the true essence
Of who we are...
And have faith in all
That we may become.
Some people awaken us
To new and deeper realizations...
For we gain insight
From the passing whisper of their wisdom
Throughout our lives we are sent
Precious souls...
Meant to share our journey
However brief or lasting their stay
They remind us why we are here.
To learn... to teach... to nurture... to love
Some people come into our lives
To cast a steady light
Upon our path and guide our every step
Their shining belief in us
Helps us to believe in ourselves.
Some people come into our
Lives to teach us about love...
The love that rests within ourselves.
Let us reach out to others
And feel the bliss of giving
For love is far richer in action
That it ever is in words.
Some people come into our lives
And they move our souls to sing
And make our spirits dance.
They help us to see that everything on earth
Is part of the incredibility of life...
And that it is always there
For us to take of its joy.
Some people come into our lives
And leave footprints on our hearts
And we are never ever the same.
~Flavia Weedn~
This one made me cry!! We should always have the door to our hearts open!!
3) A Strange and Lonely Place: Far From Home, Internationals Search for Friendship:
Shemar told me that he was shocked when he first visited our home. "You didn't care what color I was. You just loved me." Shemar was a Hindu from Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) where he was designated a "colored."
In his country he fought in the army to protect whites and yet he was treated like an outsider. At a restaurant he had to stay outside with the dogs, but whites could go inside. His brother was killed by guerilla soldiers that were funded by some so-called Christian group, so he hated Christians bitterly.
Soon after coming to the United States, he was invited to one of our parties for international students at our home. He declined, "They are Americans; they won't have anything to do with me; I am colored." And when he learned we were Christians he absolutely refused. But eventually he did come, and found that he was very much loved.
He was lonely and troubled. One night he was so lonely that he parked his car outside our house and slept in the car all night just to be close to somebody that loved him. And eventually he trusted Christ because of that kind of love.
Jesus loves people like Shemar enough to bring them halfway around the world to put them in touch with one person who loves the Lord and loves them.
4) How can I best relate to my married friends?
Remember envy builds walls; love breaks them down. ~ 1 John 4:7-12
5) It takes effort to cross the boundaries of race, social class, age, and marital status. But if you belong to God, you are brothers and sisters, and you should make the loving effort to cross over those boundaries and "love one another" (4:7). Envy builds walls. But love can tear them down and shows that we have been "born of God." Just as the love of God broke down the wall between him and us, so your love for your brothers and sisters can break down any walls of division.
But in real life, that can be easier said than done. When a friend gets married, sometimes you can't help it—you do feel envious, wondering what life is like "on the other side." However, part of loving others is being content with your life. Then you can relate to others without envy, focusing on what you have in common. You can take the initiative and open up to married friends about your work, your joys or struggles in your spiritual journey, or ways you've seen God at work in mutual friends' lives. And you can listen to what they're discovering about God, too! (See also Romans 15:1-6; Ephesians 5:1-5.)
Good Words to Remember:
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. ~ 1 John 4:7

The Big Comfy Couch is a Canadian preschool television series about Loonette the Clown and her doll Molly, who solve everyday problems on their "Big Comfy Couch". It aired from 1992 until 2006. It was produced by Cheryl Wagner and Robert Mills, directed by Wayne Moss, Robert Mills and Steve Wright. It premiered on March 2, 1992 in Canada and in 1995 in the USA on public television stations across the country.
The show's format revolves around Loonette the Clown, who lives with her dolly Molly on the eponymous Big Comfy Couch. Episodes are generally focused on a theme or a lesson. For example, Season 3's episode "Full of Life" explored the concepts of "full" and "empty", while another episode, "Sticks and Stones" dealt with name-calling and teasing.

Each episode contains several common elements that take place throughout the episode. Early in each show, Loonette performs an exercise routine she calls the Clock Rug Stretch, often extended, sometimes short to save time for other surprises, fast if she's in a hurry and normal when she comes back, or is in a floppy mood; and toward the end, she performs a high-speed clean-up routine called the Ten-Second Tidy.
Other oft-repeated elements include reading a story to Molly, who sometimes either chooses a story to hear, gives Loonette a book and oversized glasses, or turning on the lights for Loonette; encounters with the dust bunnies who live under the couch; visits to various places in Clowntown, songs that emphasize the episode's lessons or themes, and a trip to Granny Garbanzo's garden and house. Here she encounters Snicklefritz, Granny's cat; Major Bedhead, the local mail-delivery clown, who travels on a unicycle; and of course, Granny herself. The conversation with Granny is often used as the episode's teachable moment, where Granny offers Loonette advice or lessons, often with the help of Major Bedhead, who delivers gifts and messages from Auntie Macassar or Uncle Chester. All episodes end with Loonette and Molly having a nap and sometimes reminding the viewers to remember the rules on today's episode.
In season 7, Loonette and Molly play the Dream Game and Molly gives out the letter that the dream starts with and provide what they will be dreaming about. In season 6, Loonette and Molly play the Doll School Game where Molly learns the alphabet as well as numbers. A similar element used in seasons 1–5 is the Alphabet Game, where a certain letter is shown on a giant alphabet block and Loonette uses certain words beginning with that letter and also makes the letter's shape with her body to get the viewers to guess the letter.
Along with the lessons and problem solving sequences, the show also emphasized imaginative play. These episodes often take place in the context of a visit to Clowntown, with sites such as Granny Garbanzo's Cabbage Club Cooking School, and Major Bedhead's Clown Chi Mojo Dojo and Dancing School. Additionally, Loonette is gifted in the art of classical dance and runs Miss Loonette's Dance Academy. In early episodes, Loonette was too young to visit Clowntown alone, but in later seasons, she makes frequent trips to Clowntown, and volunteers at the Clowndergarten, where she teaches young clowns games, songs and stories. This imaginative play was also demonstrated through dress-up games and through Loonette's dollhouse, in which she imagined the adventures of "The Foley Family". Shown first as a doll-sized family, in Loonette's imagination they would become a family of regular-sized clowns, whose actions were shown in high speed and with a musical background in the style of old silent movies. The Foleys (a mother, father and son) did not speak. Early in the first season, Molly had discovered the Dust Bunnies. However, Loonette didn't believe that there are dust bunnies under the couch.
The two lounge around the couch all day, with the exception of the Clock Rug Stretch and daily adventure, sometimes involving Granny or Major Bedhead, a postal service employee who also plays bit parts. Each day includes a few songs and a story (which, when told by Loonette, involves her wearing huge yellow reading glasses and holding a blue storybook); and is concluded with the Ten-Second Tidy and a nice nap.
The show was originally produced by Radical Sheep Productions and Owl Television, then Canadian children's television network YTV and WITF-TV Harrisburg, with a run of 65 episodes. In 2002, 13 new episodes were produced with Benny Smart, an American children's television production company, Tadpole TV and Treehouse TV, a companion channel of YTV, and Nashville Public Television.
From 1992 to 1996 and 2002, the show was filmed at Wallace Avenue Studios in Toronto, and in 2006, it has been filmed at Toronto's Studio City.
Radical Sheep Productions and Amity Entertainment, in association with Treehouse TV and Nashville Public Television, produced 22 additional episodes, which debuted on American Public Television in 2006.
Loonette the Clown is the lead character, portrayed by Alyson Court from 1992-2002 and Ramona Gilmour-Darling in 2006. She is a young clown living with her doll, Molly, on the eponymous Big Comfy Couch, an over-sized couch.
She frequently reads stories to Molly, always performs a Clock Rug Stretch, and likes to visit Granny Garbanzo. Auntie Macassar or Uncle Chester frequently send Loonetta postcards which Major Bedhead delivers on his unicycle. Her Parents are never seen or mentioned. Loonette is gifted in the art of classical dance and runs Miss Loonette's Dance Academy. Another gift she possesses is the unusual ability to clean just about any mess up in ten seconds, which she calls the Ten Second Tidy.
Originally, Loonette was too bossy even when Molly didn't like it, and she was too young to visit Clowntown, but starting from 2006, Loonette makes frequent trips to Clowntown to visit Granny Garbanzo's "Cabbage Club Cooking School" and Major Bedhead's Clown Chi Mojo Dojo and Dancing School. The trips to this second location indicates that she practices martial arts. Loonette also takes Molly to Clowndergarten and helps out with the other little clowns. This third location is similar to kindergarten.
Molly is Loonette's doll. Loonette found her in a barrel with a sign marked "Free to a good home", and adopted her. She is puppetered by Bob Stutt.
Molly wears a blue dress (sometimes a yellow one), and occasionally bunny pajamas. She believes that dust bunnies really exist, despite Loonette's disbelief. Her favorite food is doughnuts. She only speaks by cartoon bubbles, and usually answers Loonette's yes–no questions by either nodding or shaking her head.

IRS Policy on Searches
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a Policy Statement that it will follow the holding of United States v. Warshak from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit "and obtain a search warrant in all cases when seeking from an internet service provider (ISP) the content of email communications stored by the ISP." The result is that the IRS will stop using subpoenas to obtain those documents and will not seek them in any civil administrative proceeding.
SEC Chairman Weighing Changes to No Admit/No Deny Policy
Recently appointed Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Mary Jo White recently testified before a House subcommittee about the SEC's budget. During the hearing, she addressed the SEC's long-standing policy regarding settling cases without requiring the defendant to admit or deny the allegations. That policy has come under fire lately, and Ms. White said she would review the policy.
Speaking of the No Admit/No Deny Policy ...
U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., wrote Ms. White, Attorney General Eric Holder and Chairman Ben Bernanke of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System asking whether their respective agencies have "conducted any internal research or analysis on trade-offs to the public between settling an enforcement action without admission of guilt and going forward with litigation as necessary to obtain such admission." Senator Warren explained that, in her view, an enforcement agency's willingness "to take large financial institutions all the way to trial" is crucial to retain "leverage in settlement negotiations" and to avoid "settl[ing] on terms that are much more favorable to the wrongdoer." Senator Warren raised this issue with Comptroller of the Currency Thomas J. Curry at a previous hearing.
Banned by the SEC
The Second Circuit, in SEC v. Bankosky, reaffirmed the standard for banning an individual from serving as an officer or director, set forth in the court's 1995 decision of SEC v. Patel. At that time, the SEC was directed to issue such a ban "if the person's conduct demonstrates a substantial unfitness to serve as an officer or director." But the subsequent Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 removed the word "substantiatial" from the statute. The Second Circuit ruled the Patel factors should still govern the analysis even though "'unfitness' is clearly a lower hurdle than 'substantial unfitness.'"
A Conflict Over Conflict Minerals
The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia will hear arguments on cross-motions for summary judgment in litigation between the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) (and others) and the SEC regarding conflict-mineral-reporting rules established by the SEC. Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act required the SEC to enact rules for public companies to disclose their use of "conflict minerals," i.e., tantalum, tin, gold or tungsten, from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries. The SEC rules require disclosures to begin in 2014 for the use of such minerals during 2013, and the NAM has sued to enjoin the rules. The plaintiffs allege the cost-benefit analysis in the rule-making was grossly inadequate, the SEC misinterpreted Section 1502 and the rule violates companies' First Amendment rights.
No Such Thing As Too Big to Jail
During testimony before a House Financial Services subcommittee, acting Assistant Attorney General Mythili Raman dispelled the notion that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) considered some financial firms "too big to jail." Ms. Raman began by saying "that no individual and no institution is immune from prosecution. Size does not equal immunity." Despite that statement, subcommittee members pressed Ms. Raman about whether the size of financial firms and the possible "collateral consequences" of a prosecution against them cause the DOJ to go easy on them. Ms. Raman said that "collateral consequences" of a prosecution are but one of the factors laid out in the U.S. Attorneys' Manual that prosecutors use when making charging decisions.

Background/Aims: Childhood obesity tracks into adulthood, and may increase diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk in adulthood. Prospective analyses may better define the pathways between early life factors and greater childhood body mass index (BMI), a measure of obesity. Methods: The Diabetes Autoimmunity Study in the Young (DAISY) prospectively follows children from birth that are at increased genetic risk for type 1 diabetes. We examined longitudinal data for 1,178 DAISY subjects (mean age at last follow-up: 6.59 years (range: 2.0–11.5 years). Birth size and diabetes exposure in utero were collected in the enrollment interview. Infant diet information was collected via interviews throughout infancy. Infant weight gain and childhood BMI were measured at clinic visits. Results: Female gender, diabetes exposure in utero, larger size for gestational age, shorter breastfeeding duration, and more rapid infant weight gain predicted higher childhood BMI. Formal mediation analysis suggests the effect of shorter breastfeeding duration on childhood BMI may be mediated by more rapid infant weight gain. Also, the effect of diabetes exposure in utero on childhood BMI may be mediated by larger size for gestational age. Conclusion: We identified strong interrelationships between early life factors and childhood BMI. Understanding these pathways may aid childhood obesity prevention efforts.
