The below resources include a mix of materials developed by the Judicial Council of California, local courts, the California Bar Association, and other non-profit civic education organizations. The resources may be useful in conducting court/community dialogue and educating students about the role of an independent judiciary in our democracy.
Elementary School Mock Trial A
Elementary School Mock Trial B
Elementary School Mock Trial C
Judge Richard Cline, of the Superior Court of San Diego, has also developed a mock trial and a comprehensive package of educational materials to use with upper elementary school age students.
What's Happening in Court?
This is interactive book, available on-line and in print, has fun activities and useful information to help elementary students who may be in court for any reason, whether they are visitors or witnesses or are involved in a case. Produced by the Center for Families, Children & the Courts (CFCC), the book has been widely distributed to schools and courts in California and is available both online and in print in English and Spanish. What's Happening in Court? has also been reproduced by other state court systems.
Courtroom to Classroom
This popular program is used by the Superior Court of Los Angeles County and is available to all California courts. It provides resources and support for judge and attorney teams to visit classrooms, two times during the school year, to engage students in lessons and moot court activities. The materials are designed for 8th grade U.S. History, 11th grade U.S. History, and 12th grade Government courses. Register on this website to receive the PowerPoint presentations and lesson plans.
DUI trials in the Schools
Courts conduct real DUI trials or sentencing in schools, where teachers combine the experience with classroom instruction to help students better understand the consequences of driving under the influence and how the justice system works. The Judicial Council of California has developed a model curriculum to be used before the pretrial/sentencing, as well as after post-trial/sentencing to enhance student learning.
Contact: Michael Roosevelt, 415-865-7820, firstname.lastname@example.com
Developed by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, this website for middle school students features interactive, animated games through which students learn about the judicial, executive and legislative branches. The games are fun and educational, and can be linked to your court's website.
Importance of an Impartial Judiciary (PowerPoint)
This PowerPoint was originally designed for young adults by the Sacramento Superior Court; however, this version has been received so enthusiastically by adult audiences that the court now presents this version to everyone. This is an interactive presentation that uses sports as an analogy to describe the role of the courts, and provides historical context and information about the role of the judiciary and impartiality. The notes section on each slide provides a complete guide to making the presentation.
Kids and the Law: An A-toZ Guide for Parents
Kids and the Law is a close-up look at laws that define children's rights and responsibilities. Topics covered include alcohol, cars and traffic laws, civil laws and lawsuits, criminal law, curfew laws, drugs, emancipation, fighting and violence, gangs, graffiti, guns and other weapons, juvenile court, parents' rights and responsibilities, dealing with the police, privacy, school rules, sex, smoking, stealing, truancy, and vandalism. This is a helpful resource for parents, teachers, counselors, youth program coordinators, and others who supervise, care for, and teach California's children.
Legal Jeopardy (PowerPoint)
Play Jeopardy with students who come to visit your court using this ready to use PowerPoint game. The game was developed by Judge Beverly O'Connell, Superior Court of Los Angeles, as part of a PowerLunch program in which students visit the courthouse and "have lunch" with a judge. Judge O'Connell has also generously provided PowerLunch discussion topics and a sample agenda.
Operation Protect and Defend
The Sacramento Law Foundation has sponsored this effective program since 2001, which brings judges and attorneys into high schools throughout Sacramento to provide engaging dialogue about constitutional issues. They have generously shared their 2010 Dialogue on America Free Speech curriculum, which includes selected readings and court opinions focused on the First Amendment, and the training guide for the judges and lawyers who volunteer with the program.
When you are 18 Pamphlet
Also published by the State Bar of California, When You Become 18 is in the same easy to read and colorful format, but addresses a number of issues important to young adults, including information about laws related to: alcohol, banking, contracts, credit, employment, hate crimes, jury duty, military service, and voting.
Judicial Outreach on a Shoestring: A Working Manual
This one-of-a-kind publication, written by Judge Fruin of the Superior Court of Los Angeles, highlights several low or no-cost judicial outreach programs from around the nation. It contains detailed descriptions of 17 judicial outreach projects from around the country, the program's actual working materials, publicity and associated materials and information about other related efforts.

Planning to kick start your weight loss efforts? Striving to boost your sports performance? Needing to change your diet for health reasons? Or, just looking for an individualized eating plan to help optimize health? Whatever your unique situation, a registered dietitian (RD) may help you increase the enjoyment and success of a dietary overhaul.
While many allied health professionals — including qualified personal trainers and fitness experts – can do a lot to help you increase nutrition knowledge, try healthy recipes, and adopt federal dietary guidelines like the MyPlate eating plan, a RD can help you go several steps further.
What can I expect during my initial session?
At your initial visit, the RD will strive to understand you, your past successes and challenges, and your current goals. She or he will get some background health and medical information and will likely ask you to complete some form of a nutrition log to gain a better understanding of your current eating patterns. Based on your height, weight, gender, and physical activity level, she or he will plug a few numbers into a high-tech program that will give you an idea of about how many calories you need per day to maintain your current weight. From there, the RD will put all the information together and help you come up with your own individualized nutrition plan.
How often do I need to meet with a registered dietitian?
Depending on your situation, the number of times you meet with a RD can vary from simply a one-time session to a few times per week. Some people just need to get a nutrition plan in place while others need constant feedback, support, information sharing, and tweaking. People who have medical problems with a large nutrition component – like diabetes, obesity, advanced kidney disease, and gastrointestinal pathology – may benefit most from an ongoing relationship with a RD. Many dietitians also offer group sessions and programs, which may span over the course of several weeks or months.
How do I know which registered dietitian is right for me?
If you choose to work with a RD, you can be assured that he or she has extensive nutrition training and education. This is not the case for a non-RD "nutritionist" for whom there are few to no assurances on the person's background or training. All RDs (you can spot them by looking for the "RD" behind their name) have earned at least a bachelor's degree and/or master's degree in nutrition and have met all of the extensive coursework and examination requirements set forth by the Commission on Dietetic Registration.
Beyond that, however, each RD is very different. Some have undergone specialized training in particular areas like sports nutrition, diabetes education, or pediatric nutrition. Others may focus on weight management or chronic disease prevention. Some RDs work in private practice while others are employed by hospitals and health centers.
Before signing up with a RD, do your research. Your health insurance plan may cover nutrition services from a RD contracted with that plan. Or, your gym might have a dietitian on staff as part of your membership or for a nominal fee. Ultimately, you should strive to find a dietitian who is convenient and affordable and most importantly, whose philosophy and personality is helpful and motivating to you as you set out to optimize your health and quality of life.
Ready to get started? Learn more about the role of registered dietitians and find one in your area.
Natalie Digate Muth, MD, MPH, RD, is the ACE senior consultant for healthcare solutions, a practicing pediatrician and registered dietitian. Recognized as a Certified Obesity Specialist, Natalie has written for more than 50 publications and, in 2012, published her first book, Eat Your Vegetables! and Other Mistakes Parents Make: Redefining How to Raise Healthy Eaters.

Manitoba Hydro is the major energy utility in the Province of Manitoba, the fourth largest energy utility in Canada and offers some of the lowest electricity rates in the world. Owned by the provincial government, nearly all of its electricity comes from self-renewing water power. Its new headquarters tower, Manitoba Hydro Place, is the first of the next generation of sustainable buildings integrating time-tested environmental concepts in conjunction with advanced technologies to achieve a "living building" that dynamically responds to the local climate.
Located in downtown Winnipeg, the city is known for its extreme climate, with temperatures that fluctuate from -35ºC (-31 ºF) to +34ºC (95 ºF) over the year. The 64,500 m² (695,000 ft²) tower is targeting less than 100 kWh/m²/a compared to 400 kWh/m²/a for a typical large scale North American office tower located in a more temperate climate. The architectural solution clearly responds to the client's vision, and relies on passive free energy without compromise to design quality and, most importantly, human comfort.
The street address, 360 Portage Avenue, encapsulates the three-hundred and sixty degree approach of the formal Integrated Design Process (IDP) mandated by the client to achieve the objectives of 60% energy savings, supportive workplace, urban revitalization, signature architecture and cost effectiveness. The site was strategically selected because over 95% of the bus routes pass this address, including routes to suburban Winnipeg where 80% of Manitoba Hydro employees live. The IDP process was greatly enhanced by extensive computer modeling using local wind, sun and temperature data to evaluate design options. The building is already projected to outperform its original energy goal by 64% or higher.
Dubbed an 'Open Book' by citizens of Winnipeg, the tower design forms a capital 'A' composed of two 18-storey twin office towers which rest on a stepped, three-storey, street-scaled podium. The towers converge at the north and splay open to the south for maximum exposure to the abundant sunlight and consistently robust southerly winds unique to Winnipeg's climate. The podium includes a publicly accessible Galleria to offer citizens a sheltered pedestrian route through the full city block. Narrow floor plates and tall floor-to-ceiling glazing allow sunlight to penetrate into the core. A double façade curtain-wall system made of low-iron glass forms a one metre (three foot) wide buffer zone. It is comprised of a double-glazed outer wall and a single-glazed inner wall which insulates the building against heat and cold. Automated louvre shades control glare and heat gain while radiant slabs act as an internal heat exchange with the geothermal field.
A 115 metre (377 foot) tall solar chimney marks the north elevation and main entrance on Portage Avenue, and establishes an iconic presence for Manitoba Hydro on the skyline. The solar chimney is a key element in the passive ventilation system which relies on the natural stack effect. The chimney draws used air out of the building during the shoulder seasons and summer months. In winter, exhaust air is drawn to the bottom of the solar chimney by fans, and heat recovered from this exhaust air is used to warm the parkade and to preheat the incoming cold air in the south atria.
In contrast to conventional North American office buildings which use recirculated air, Manitoba Hydro Place is filled with 100% fresh air, 24 hours a day, year round, regardless of outside temperatures. Within the splay of the two towers, a series of three, six-storey south atria, or winter gardens, form the lungs of the building, drawing in outside air and pre-conditioning it before it enters the workspaces through adjustable vents in the raised floor. Depending on the season, a 24 metre tall waterfall feature in each of the atria humidifies or dehumidifies the incoming air. During colder temperatures, recovered heat from exhaust air, and passive solar radiant energy are used to warm the fresh air. The conditioned air is drawn through the raised floors into the office spaces through under floor fan units. Building occupants, computers and other sources of heat cause the air to rise, which is then drawn north and exhausted by the solar chimney. In the shoulder seasons, the building relies solely on outdoor fresh air through the use of automatic and manually operated windows.
Manitoba Hydro Place also has the largest closed loop geothermal system in the province. 280 boreholes, each 150 mm (6") in diameter, penetrate the site 125 metres (400 ft.) underground, circulating glycol which is cooled in the summer and heated in the winter by the ground source heat exchanger. Water is circulated through the heat exchanger and distributed through thermal mass of the concrete structure which in turn heats or cools the space consistently.
Manually operated windows on the interior curtain wall, combined with the automated exterior wall vents controlled by the Building Management System, allow employees to control their individual environment. This elemental detail reflects Manitoba Hydro's commitment to the well-being of its employees, as well as to its goals for improved productivity and reduced absenteeism. Workstations and glass enclosed meeting spaces are organized into neighborhoods around each atrium to support individual and team-centred work processes. In both the north and south atria, interconnecting stairs promote physical activity, reduce reliance on elevators and provide opportunities for interaction between divisions. The podium rooftops feature deep soil intensive green roofs and accessible terraces, creating a lush landscaped outdoor amenity for employees, while also reducing stormwater runoff and providing additional thermal insulation. A reflective coating on the tower rooftops reduces the summer season cooling load and the urban heat island effect.
Manitoba Hydro is as invested in creating a supportive workplace and revitalizing Winnipeg's downtown as it is in achieving energy savings and signature architecture. The building connects to the city's elevated sheltered pedestrian network. In the former head office, located in the suburbs of Winnipeg, 95% of the employees drove to work alone. In anticipation of the transition, Manitoba Hydro secured a number of parking stalls downtown. At the same time, it created various incentives, including corporate participation in the Transit EcoPass program to encourage employee use of public transit. Six months after moving into the new building, more than 50% of relocated employees are leaving their cars at home. As a result Manitoba Hydro has been able to reduce its parking spots and has observed a five-fold increase in employee use of public transit compared to the previous year. Qualitatively, employees are reporting that they are enjoying time gained to read and socialize with colleagues.
With a vested interest in the downtown, leasing opportunities in the base building are limited in an effort to stimulate the support of local businesses, and to encourage staff to experience their city. Restaurants and bars are already reporting a tremendous increase in revenue as a result of the influx of over 1600 Hydro employees to the area.
Ultimately, Manitoba Hydro Place sets a precedent for the seamless integration of architectural excellence and climate responsive, energy efficient and sustainable design while enhancing and improving the quality and comfort of the human experience and the civility of urban life.

I got a dehydrator this past x-mas and kinda have become addicted to it. Anyone else dehydrate stuff? Bananns is probably my favorite tasting fruit so far. Love making jerky. Got bored a couple Sunday's ago and soaked some peno's in a hickory marinade overnight and dehydrated them. They were awesome.
Even put some in a jar and covered in olive oil to make a spicy oil. Good stuff.

Timberlake said he wanted to talk to the students because "I like talking to people who love music ... And for me, it's always nice to talk with young people who really love music and are interested in the expression of it or the art of it."
As for his return to making music, JT said, "I would have taken a break regardless of if I would've done films or not because my last record was all-consuming and to go on tour like that, for me, I will not be the type of artist that puts out 10 to 15 albums. That's just not who I am. They're really special to me. I write music all the time, but until you really feel that desperate need to shout from the rooftops and express yourself in that way, I just kind of keep it to myself. I enjoy making music so much that if it doesn't come out, that's okay. If I get to listen to it in my car by myself, I'm just as happy because I get to hear something that I made. I'm not so caught up in the fact that you have to be in the center of attention. For me, when I do have something that I'm ready to express, I'm gonna burrow through whatever to get it heard. But for me, the journey along the way is really the most fun part; it's not about the outcome. It's really about making something that feels authentic. That's the one place you can do that."
As for The 20/20 Experience itself, Timberlake told the students that on the ten-song record, "the average length of each song is seven, eight minutes. We made it to listen from top to bottom. It's not so much a narrative or a story, but sonically we really made it to listen from top to bottom."
Meanwhile, the New York Post is reporting there is a chance of Timberlake and Jay-Z teaming up for a ten city, co-headlining stadium tour later this year. People magazine is also citing sources hinting at more than ten shows.

Sao Bento is less than 15 minutes walking distance from Cais do Sodré Train Station. The Metro there provides access to central Lisbon in 10 minutes. Lisbon International Airport is 8 km away.
If you walk 10 minutes you´re at "Bairro Alto", known as one of the most attractive and picturesque areas of the Lisbon's city center. At night, this 17th century colorful district is transformed into the city's vibrant nightlife quarter. The main streets and narrow passageways are bustling with activity of dozens of excellent traditional restaurants, «fado singing houses», cafés, and a multitude of sleek clubs and bars that stay open until late. In recent years, «Bairro Alto» is also an alternative shopping destination, for those looking for trendy design shops, art galleries and bookshops.
Bairro Alto, one of the Lisbon hippest and coolest place.
There are several buses and trams, and subway, 10 minutes away, although one can easily walk to the main points of the city. Five minutes walking is the heart of the glamorous and cosmopolitan city can still be felt in the Chiado, a place where the "new" and "old" live in harmony. Characterized by casual-chic atmosphere, with streets full of shops, fine restaurants, beautiful cobblestone, beautiful churches and timeless cafes, Chiado makes any visitor feel real Lisbon.
Chiado is where Lisbon's history and urbanity meet. This tourist area of the capital begins at the Brasileira café, on Rua Garrett. Opened in 1905. It´s one of Lisbon's postcards. On the side walk café you will find the different urban tribes and a statue of poet Fernando Pessoa, who offers his lap for tourist photos.
Next to it, two churches remind the vanished towers of Santa Catarina Gate. The Church of Loreto, built in 1528 by Italians living in Lisbon, was partially destroyed by the 1755 earthquake, but later rebuilt and one of the places to visit on Chiado. The Church of Encarnação, inaugurated in 1708, was also hit in 1755 and rebuilt later. But Chiado has more than just two churches to (website hidden)ís de Camões square, which any Lisboner will call Largo Camões, is not just a passing place. Sit on the steps of the poet's monument and enjoy the bustle that Chiado has.
But do not leave Chiado without inquiring about the theatres. São Luiz Municipal Theatre was one of Lisbon's first cinemas. Today it is a municipal theatre with a rich and varied programming. Also glimpse the Teatro Trindade and the S. Carlos Opera House.
This is one of the city´s best shopping areas. You will find international brand shops (Hermès and Hugo Boss, for example) and great Portuguese designers like José António Tenente (Tv. Carmo, 8) StoryTailors (Cç. Do Ferragial, 8) or Atelier Alves/Gonçalves (Tv. Guilherme Cossul, 16).
It is not difficult to come across public figures, mainly artists. There are several art schools in the area, like the Fine Arts Faculty. Even if you are not an expert, venture into the Chiado Museum - National Museum of Contemporary Art (Rua Serpa Pinto, 4) besides well-cared exhibitions, it has a pleasant patio to have lunch or simply sip a coffee. There is also a big offer for meals: Café Royale, New Wok and Kaffee Hause are excellent choices.

Appartement assez bien situé, petit mais suffisant pour un jeune couple. Peu spacieux, il n'est pas conçu pour y passer la journée. Le lit est confortable mais pas pratique pour des amoureux, tout comme la petite douche! Nous avons été très bien reçu et toutes nos demandes ont été satisfaites. N'hésitez pas à vous informer auprès de l'hôte pour tout renseignements touristiques!
Die Wohnung ist super zentral gelegen, man erreicht etliche Sehenswürdigkeiten von dort aus. Außerdem fährt die historische Tram gleich vor der Tür. Die Wohnung ist sehr klein, aber da man als Urlauber ja meist eh nur zum Schlafen dort ist, völlig ausreichend.
Eine tolle Geste war die bereits eingefüllte freie Waschmittelladung in der Waschmaschine; wir hätten also auch einmal umsonst Wäsche waschen können. Der Check-In sowie der Check-Out haben super funktioniert und alle Fragen wurden schnell beantwortet. Top Service!
Einziger Nachteil an der Wohnung: einige Möbelstücke müssten mal repariert werden, diese scheinen schon zu oft benutzt geworden zu sein.
Alles in allem super Unterkunft!
L'appartement est très bien situé dans la partie populaire de la vieille ville, tout près de tramway 28. Rien à dire coté calme, équipements et propreté : tout est parfait.
Excellent accueil par Antonio qui est arrangeant pour les horaires d'arrivée et de départ.
En revanche, il est vraiment petit pour 2 personnes car on ne peut plus bouger une fois le lit déployé. Nous sommes plutôt autour de 18 m2 au lieu des 29 annoncés …
La verdad es que ibamos solo para dormir un rato antes de volver a españa de la final de la champion league y estuvimos solo 5 horas en la casa.
Las escalera para subir son como el himalaya de la pendiente que tienen, la cama superior se rompio con solo sentarse y tuve que echar el colchon al suelo. Me imagino que lo arreglaran sin problemas. Al sacar el colchon descubrimos que la limpieza era muy deficiente ya que habia mucha suciedad, un paquete de Kleenex y un emboltorio de un preservativo. La casa es pequeñita pero no se puede pedir más por el precio y la hubicación. Gracias.
Super netter Kontakt. Kleine, aber feine Wohnung mit super Zugang zum Szeneviertel Barrio Alto und dem öffentlichen Verkehrsnetz. Die berühmte Strassenbahn E28 fährt sogar direkt vor der Haustür ab, was einerseits praktisch, nachts allerdings ein wenig lauter ist.
Zu diesem Tagespreis, kann ich die Wohnung nur empfehlen.
Ohodnoďte tomuto hostiteli i další ubytování
Every thing was great! Thank you very much!
We do not recommend this room.
the pros:
rather good location, famous bairo alto is 10-min-walk distant. Close to the Praça de Comercio y Rossio Train Station that take you to Sintra and Other out of Lisbon locations
Antonio welcome us nicely and give us a city map and good tourists advices. He was on time.
The bed for the couple is comfortable.
the cons :
the apartment was badly maintained. Layers of Wall paint fall down, shower doors don't shut properly.
The showers doors were broke and were very difficult to close.
No place to hold towels
The guard rail for the stairs upstair was like not safe at all, moving a lot, you're afraid to touch it because it can fall, take care if you wake up at night not to guide yourself with it in the dark.....
There were no window shutters so we were awaken by the day light
Carefull the appartment is fittable for a couple, not for 4 people. As the 3rd person would sleep on the very uncomfortable couch (the spring mattress hurt your back), and the 4th person would sleep on a extra poor mousse matress layed down the soil.
Despite the good looking kitchen, we were unable to cook as there weren't any cooking ustensils. no frying pan, no oven dishes, no proper saucepan. More we hadn't even a sponge to clean the used plates and glasses. We ask Antonio to at least give us a frying pan and a sponge. He never did it. So we were extremely dispapointed.
Our hosts were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Although the apartment was really small, we had a wonderful time in Lisboa. The location is fantastic.
We were recieved by a very friendly and helpful Antonio.
Good: The Apartment was spacefull and well equipped with bedsheets, towels etc.
Cheep taxi´s gets you to the old quarter for a mere 5 euros, but there are also some nice and very cheap restaurants in the neighbourhood.. The apartment had a nice terrasse with a fine view.
Not so good: The elevator made pretty much noise in the Apartment. HOwever, it was perhaps only 3-4 times at evening time. The kitchen was populated with hundreds of ants. There was a bad smell form the sewer in the refrigerator which we were unable to clean lacking a screwdriver.
The TV's reception had a red glow, but there were lot´s of channels, not that it mattered that much. The two metal tables on the terrasse was so crooked that it was dangerous putting cups or glasses on them. When we had lunch out there one day, we had to bring out the big round table form the living room.
By cleaning the sewer, killing the ants, a new TV-set, two new tables on the terrasse, you´ll have a very fine Apartment at a good Price.
nice appartment, good location :)

Eurozone economy to keep on shrinking through 2013
posted at 7:21 pm on February 22, 2013 by Erika Johnsen
Not too long ago, the European Commission was predicting that the currency bloc would grow by at least 0.1% in 2013, but that unexpectedly larger-than-expected downward turn for the eurozone's net growth last week means that even that piddling prediction is looking a little too rosy. The EU's official economists are now forecasting that the eurozone economy will contract for a second year in a row and for the third year out of the past five, reports the WSJ:
The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, forecast Friday a 0.3% contraction for 2013 and sees falling spending by businesses, consumers and national governments pushing euro-zone unemployment to a new high. Mass joblessness is expected to increase in the countries hardest hit by the crisis, with the average unemployment rate expected to reach 27% in Greece, 26.9% in Spain and 17.3% in Portugal. …
Unemployment will be a huge obstacle for governments as they attempt to carry out austerity programs that are partly responsible for the bloc's dismal growth and employment situation.
Dang. A huge part of the EU's attempt to tackle the issue, however, is getting member countries to abide by their by their deficit reduction targets — and France is kind of an important one in that 17-nation mix, seeing as how theirs is the eurozone's second-largest economy. After watching their own economy contract last quarter, however, French President Hollande's Socialist regime is looking to resist that push.
The first big test is likely to come in France, which the commission expects will miss a pledge to bring its deficit under 3% of gross domestic product by the end of this year. The forecast sees the French deficit this year at 3.7% of GDP. …
The commission uses the forecast each year to decide whether it will push for more cuts from national governments to hit previously agreed budget goals or whether it will allow the deficit targets to slip—a process that can result in fines for governments that refuse to cooperate. The government of French President François Hollande recently said it won't push for more cuts to reach the 3% goal this year.
The EU has allowed for some leniency in deficit-reduction goals from other countries, and Hollande is looking for that same option — and Germany, the EU's biggest economy, is not pleased about it. Via Reuters:
The schism dividing the euro zone's strong and weak economies deepened to include its core pairing in February as French firms suffered their worst month in four years in stark contrast to prospering Germany. …
While businesses in Germany sustained a healthy rate of growth, French services companies fell into their worst slump since the nadir of the Great Recession in early 2009. …
"There are issues in the French economy which are being unmasked by the depth and severity of this crisis," said Peter Dixon, global equities economist at Commerzbank.
He said France has major structural problems, and also said business activity may have been crimped by confusion over the government's economic policies.
"That may well have been frightening the horses when it comes to businesses."
France's new Socialist government is having trouble engendering an optimistic business climate? Whaat?!

If somebody ruined 14-2 and 13-3 seasons in our house in the NFC CG, I'd hate them. If somebody ended the career of our best player ever, I'd hate them. If somebody handed us our worst playoff loss ever in our prime, I'd hate them.
Sure there's a rivalry but when I look at what we've done to you, it's not symmetrical. We look back and think in the 80s that was a great rivalry and we got the best of a very good team a few times. You guys must logically look at us and seethe with hate.
It's the fan arrogance that bothers us. It remins us too much of the Cowboys who are in our division so it sounds very familiar to us. We view the mass of your fanbase as a hybrid of the Cowboys arrogance and Eagles bile.

According to CBSSports.com, free agent Mike Napoli is scheduled to visit the Red Sox in Boston this weekend. Napoli has already met with Seattle, and is slated to get together with the Rangers in coming week.
The Red Sox have had continued interest in the 31-year-old, even after signing catcher David Ross, eyeing Napoli to play first base while also filling in at catcher and designated hitter. He is coming off a 2012 season in which he hit .227 with a .812 OPS in 108 games while battling leg injuries. Napoli did finish the '12 season strong, totaling a 1.051 OPS with seven home runs in September.
Napoli has an extraordinary amount of success at Fenway Park, where he has the highest OPS (1.256) since 2008 of any player with at least 58 plate appearances.
Reports stated earlier in the week that Napoli, who was not offered the one-year, $13.3 million qualifying offer by Texas, was seeking a four-year deal.

Familial Colorectal Cancers - Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)
Colorectal cancer accounts for 14% of all cancer deaths in the United States. There were an estimated 135,400 new cases and 56,700 deaths in the United States in 2001. Approximately 10 to 15% of these cancers may be caused by genetic abnormalities that run in families. There are two major types of known hereditary disorders, familial adenomatous polyposis (also known as FAP) and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (also known as HNPCC). In this article, we will address FAP.
FAP accounts for only one percent of new colorectal cancer cases each year, affecting about 1 in 9,000 people. About 15% of people with FAP develop polyps by the age of 10, and 90% develop them by the age of 30. Affected patients can develop hundreds to thousands of adenomatous polyps, and have a 100% chance of developing colorectal cancer by age 40 if they do not have their colon removed. Adenomatous polyps are considered to be "pre-cancerous" lesions, some of which will eventually progress to cancer. Therefore, the more polyps an individual has, the greater his or her chance of developing cancer. The average age of colorectal cancer diagnosis in FAP is 35 years, as compared to 64 years in the general population.

Several other cancers have been associated with FAP, including periampullary and thyroid cancer. Periampullary (cancer that is found in the area where the bile duct and pancreas empty into the small bowel) is the second most common cancer in FAP, and accounts for 1 in 5 deaths of these patients. In addition, several other non-cancerous manifestations have been seen in FAP. Young FAP patients may develop cysts in the skin on the face, scalp, arms, and legs, often years before they develop colon polyps. Congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (also called CHRPE) is an abnormality found in the retina of the eye that looks like a freckle and causes no symptoms for the patient. While CHRPE can be seen in one eye of individuals without FAP, it is often present in both eyes in an FAP patient. About 70% of FAP patients have dental abnormalities, including extra or missing teeth, fused roots, or non-cancerous tumors of the jaw bone (osteomas). Although these manifestations are not harmful to the patient, they may be the first sign of FAP and prompt a patient to undergo testing for FAP. Ten percent of FAP patients will develop desmoid tumors, which are non-cancerous, slow-growing tumors, which occur in the abdominal area. Despite the fact that these tumors are not cancerous, they can cause significant damage by surrounding, compressing, and eroding nearby structures, and may need to be removed surgically. In the past, the term "Gardner's Syndrome" was been used to describe a subset of FAP patients that have CHRPE, dental abnormalities or desmoid tumors, and was thought to be genetically different. It is now known that these features are seen in many FAP patients and these cases are not genetically different.

Genetics and Screening
In 1991, the gene responsible for FAP was discovered and was named the Adenomatous Polyposis Coli, or APC gene. Scientists have discovered over 300 different mutations in the APC gene which can cause FAP. The location of the mutation on the gene often correlates with the number of polyps, age of onset, and other manifestations. FAP is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder, meaning that a child of an affected parent has a 50% chance of inheriting the mutation. Approximately 30% of FAP cases are "de novo mutations", meaning they have no prior family history of the mutation.
The diagnosis of FAP is made by discovering >100 adenomatous polyps or through genetic testing in a known FAP family. Once a person is diagnosed, an analysis of the family should be done to determine the likelihood that other relatives have the condition. Genetic testing can identify the specific abnormality in the affected individual, and then look for this defect in other family members. It is recommended that children of FAP patients undergo genetic testing or endoscopic screening by age 10. If genetic tests are positive in these children, endoscopic screening should continue every 1 to 2 years. If genetic testing is negative, these people can be spared the intensive screening.
Genetic testing is something that should not be taken lightly. One must consider the affect of the test results on themselves and other family members. Concerns may include the implication of a positive or negative test, passing the gene on to children, and discrimination in employment and insurance matters. A genetic counselor should meet with anyone wishing to undergo testing, both before testing and after the results are known. These professionals are trained to help patients understand the risks and benefits of testing and what to do with the results.
There is no medication to prevent the development of colon polyps in FAP, but non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS such as sulindac and indomethacin) have been shown to shrink polyps in these patients. Clinical trials are currently examining ways to prevent polyp growth in these patients. Until better medical therapies are developed, these patients require surgical removal of the colon (colectomy) to prevent the development of colon cancer. This surgery is often performed between the ages of 17 and 20 in asymptomatic members of FAP families. There are several surgical options for these patients, but the goal is to remove all colorectal tissue at risk for developing polyps and maintain normal bowel evacuation through the anus.
FAP is one of the most well understood inherited cancer syndromes. This knowledge has led to the availability of genetic testing for at risk individuals, improved screening and surgical management, and clinical trials for the prevention of polyp formation. Continued research into FAP will lead to better treatments for these families, and may have implications for all colon cancer patients.

All Souls' Day: We remember
Each year at the beginning of November, the church celebrates All Souls' Day, a time to pray for those who have died. This feast is commemorated differently in different cultures. Rev. Thomas Anderson, S.J., spent his diaconate year in the Philippines, where he took part in the traditional Filipino celebrations. He shares his memories with Marquette Magazine.
By Rev. Thomas Anderson, S.J., assistant director of Campus Ministry
Each year, as November neared, the postcards piled in to Campus Ministry. People remembering, and asking us to remember, their beloved. I didn't understand. Then I recalled Manila:
Starting Oct. 31, people stormed the cemeteries. There, tents were set up. By candlelight, families gathered. Most shared a meal. Some had huge Paschal-like candles; others amazing floral arrangements so many orchids. Still others played cards. One family's structure looked like an Egyptian pyramid complex. Those with battery packs watched TV. Under the tents, but also in open air, lay mats where entire families slept. Many would spend the next two nights with their dead. On the road through the cemetery, vendors set up booths: Chowking, balot, roasted peanuts, barbecued pork. Impromptu shacks to sell food, but also flowers and candles. Traffic was backed up for miles.
How do we honor our dead? At Marquette, the prayer requests roll in. Would you like your loved one to be remembered at Mass in St. Joan of Arc Chapel, Chapel of the Holy Family or Church of the Gesu? Community members are invited to submit the names of deceased loved ones.

In this day and age when at time we wonder which direction are young people are headed we read of a story like this that can reinforce our faith that there are many young folks our there that are doing great deeds and we rarely read about them, as its the sordid tales that get the press.

A Stylish Affair on the Boardwalk
The Chelsea • Atlantic City, NJ
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in an Annex Avenue King or Double-Queen Room, Thursdays ($69), Fridays ($89), or Saturdays ($159)
- Or, a One-Night Stay for Two in a Luxe Water King or Double-Queen Room, Thursdays ($89), Fridays ($119) or Saturdays ($199)
- $15 Resort Credit
- Two Solarium Passes
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Three Nights
The first non-gaming hotel to hit the Boardwalk in more than four decades, The Chelsea—a boutique 20-story hotel featuring two restaurants and a few bars—sparkles with signature style, namely the old-school glamour of America's original resort town. The Luxe tower houses posh rooms appointed with one king or two queen beds, sleek and modern décor, and sweeping water views. Rooms in The Annex, meanwhile, offer one king or two queen beds as well as retro-cool balconies and bathrooms.
With the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk largely preserved, there's enough to keep you entertained day and night. Explore its full length, or just walk next door to the casino at the Tropicana. In the evening, make your way down to Tepliztky's, the hotel's classic diner, for a late-night coffee or an early-morning plate of stuffed challah French toast with your $15 resort credit.
The weather's little match for Atlantic City's sunny spirit. No matter what the forecast says, two included passes to the Solarium—part of the 10,000-square-foot Sea Spa—will keep you nice and toasty. Soak in the Jacuzzis, unwind in the steam room, or bask in the sauna.
Sure, the Atlantic City you know and love is flickering back to life and open for business. But why settle for back to normal when you can turn up the wattage of your shore experience at The Chelsea?
"This boutique hotel has a convincingly swank vibe that could double as a set location for the TV hit Mad Men. The entire fifth floor, with its indoor/outdoor lounges and billiards room, is lively day and night."-- Read Fodor's Review of The Chelsea

text: I think I modified mine like Michael Did. I followed one I saw in our bee group. It has a space for the bees to come up from the center and drink from the side but they can't get into the top. Bees would still fly into the top when I was filling it etc. I put a screen on top. It keeps that from happening. No bees drowned since these modifications. The hive top feeder holds alot of syrup which is nice. I feed with inverted mason jars mainly though. Here's a pic of my hive top feeder after I tried to make it drown proof.

130 Marines and sailors return home in time for Independence Day
CAMP LEJEUNE - The 2nd Marine Logistics Group hosted a homecoming for more than 100 Marines and sailors from Combat Logistics Regiment 2 on Monday.
About 130 Marines and sailors returned home after a six-month deployment in Afghanistan, while supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.
The group is the first wave of service members from CLR-2 who will be arriving home in the coming months.
Mothers like Frankie Warren say even after several deployments, the wait doesn't get easier.
"You know, you tell yourself, you don't let yourself think about what could happen, but the closer you get to him coming home, you think about all of what could happen," Warren said.
Her son, Cpl. William Crook, agrees that the wait is difficult, but the feeling of seeing his family makes the job worthwhile.
"It's amazing," Crook said. "I can't even describe it. It's a one-of-a-time feeling. It's great coming home from being gone half the year and seeing everybody here -- the smiles, the tears, the happiness."
CLR-2 is responsible for providing tactical logistics support to units operating throughout Regional Command Southwest as they continue to advise and assist the Afghan National Security Forces.

You know that was nothing like his meltdown in SA and it was much better technically but I felt like it was kind of lifeless and moreover that he didn't understand his music.
It's like the disconnection to the music was dragging him down and causing him to make weird mistakes like stopping in that spin.
The music didn't fuel him like it did in the SP. And I think he's one of those skaters where he really needs that emotional connection to really keep him going.

I have 6 Giants Jerseys -
One is a Lawrence Taylor Superbowl 25 throwback and authentic
3 Superbowl 42 authentic superbowl jerseys (white on red trim). An Eli, Osi, and Buress jersey. My other two are regular Strahan & Eli blue jerseys.
Now, if I am not screaming during the entire game, I usually start wearing a strahan jersey - because more often than not, for some reason that gives the team luck(no, I am not superstitious). If after a couple of plays and things aren't going right, I switch to an Osi shirt. If we are winning I don't switch throughout the remaining game, but if things are tight, I go to an Eli shirt (blue first). So, in other words, I usually rotate jerseys and never go back to the same one - obviously I watch at home a lot. If I am out, I just stick with the jersey I am wearing. Ironically, I don't have a favorite, somehow just before the game I choose one and start with that. I know, this is a sad ritual . . .but it works for me.

Let's say I have a Specular lighting Shader. It probably have lightsource's parameters. (Direction, intensity, etc). It does it's calculation and the graphic card use that to draw on the screen. This part is fine for me (At least if I'm not mistaken). But how is the Shader aware of the lightsource? I need to pass this information when I render with this Shader? Who check if the lightsource is blocked by another object before it reach my rendering object? Is it my scene renderer that need to make a check before it send the lightsource to the Shader?
Also is it possible that your Shader communicate with your game/other shader? In the case of a high reflectance surface could your Shader "re-emit" light that will be taken in consideration when rendering other objects?

Great little hotel, in beautiful landscape. Nice spacious room, great breakfast, and lovely owners.
Fine bed and breakfast location. Excellent room and very very good breakfast. We stayed two nights and the recommendation of Walter to do the excursion for the Sound of Music in the morning was an excellent idea! Walter and Gudrun are very polite and friendly. We will visit this location certainly again!!
Great location, city centre is just a few minutes by car. The room is looking to the hills. Walter and his wife are very nice and helpful people. The breakfast is good. If we travel to Salzburg again, we would stay at Walter again.
We had a very very spacious room with a large bed and a cosy sitting aera. Bathroom was fully equipped and had a large shower. The view from the room was great. Breakfast was superb! The room for breakfast was tippical austrian and so was the dress of our host. And again a breathtaking view on the mountains. Salzburg itself is a wonderful city with a beautiful small historic center. We used the place on our way to Slovenia but it is a nice place for a longer stay.
Ammoos is a great place to stay. Beautiful landscape around the house and the house neatly arranged. Double room very comfortable with a balcony. There is public transportation from Salzburg right to Walter's place. Good breakfast too!
Our apartment was small but very well furnished. It felt like a stateside bed and breakfast. The outside area was beautiful, the pool inviting, and the breakfast buffet was wonderful. Our hosts were warm, gracious, and helpful - we would recommend Haus am Moos to any couple traveling to Salzburg.
Lovely setting in a very convenient position close to easy bus ride to Salzburg centre. Large, comfortable room and own bathroom, excellent breakfast and very very friendly and helpful hosts, particularly for sightseeing recommendations. Highly recommended
Host was so friendly and gave me very helpful information about Salzburg tour. Breakfast was also so good. If I have the second chance to visit Salzburg in future, I would definitely stay at the Walter's again. Nice and beautiful House!

Fashion designer Jenny Drury's business nous has seen her label, Ketz-ke, expand into the international market. Viva finds out more about her passions.
Jenny Drury is the founder of Auckland based fashion label Ketz-ke, who recently announced George FM host - and NZ Fashion Festival ambassador - Sophia Nash as a brand ambassador for winter.
Drury, who designs the collections with sister Brenda Wilkinson, has a background more diverse than most in fashion: she has owned a small community newspaper in Australia, before working in fashion sales and establishing the label Ezzue. In 2007 she launched Ketz-ke, which recently entered the US market with an impressive 150 new accounts after showing in LA last year, with plans to expand into Britain this year (there are also more than 10 Ketz-ke stores in China; reflecting the brand's global reach). Here are some of Drury's favourite things.
1. My son's first pair of shoes
My son, Matt, took his first steps in these little denim lace-ups. The memories of his wobbly little body in them and his transition from crawling to standing makes them so special to me.
2. French Champagne
A glass or two enjoyed with close friends is a big favourite. I absolutely adore Verve Cliquot, it is the perfect addition to a special occasion.
3. Tart
A quirky little cafe in Los Angeles that I am always eager to get to. They make the best date scones, which I can never resist when we make a trip over.
4. Clothes
As a designer I have to say clothes. My life is consumed with clothing. I fall in love with clothes both old and new and love to combine the two to create a unique outfit.
5. Singer sewing machine
It was my great-grandmother's. Just like my cowhide rug, it has moved house with me numerous times and always takes a prime position in the house. I have it displayed in the hall at the moment, as it is built in to a beautiful wooden table with a cast iron pedal.
6. My great-grandmother's polka dot china tea set
It is a very chic little china set and adds the perfect touch of vintage to my kitchen and as it is far too cool to be used, makes the cutest ornament.
7. Cowhide rug
I bought this while in Melbourne years ago. It has moved houses with me so many times and, despite being 25 years old, it still looks awesome wherever I put it.
8. Paisley dinner plate
More than 80 years old, the plate has been passed on through generations in my family. It is a hexagon shape and very retro-looking in mustard and brown tones. I love that it's so unique.
9. Espresso machine
This is a stainless steel Domobar Vibiemme and sits on my kitchen bench, sparkling away.
10. Home-made slices
I bake at least three times a week. As a treat for my staff we have my homemade slice every single day. It is also the perfect accompaniment with a flat white made on my machine at home. My favourite would probably be pistachio and ginger slice, as it is so simple and easy to make but so good.

I have a friend that returned from a visit to Poland a few weeks back. She took these images of local beehives being transported. I've never seen hives like this before.
I have a friend that returned from a visit to Poland a few weeks back. She took these images of local beehives being transported. I've never seen hives like this before.
Regards, Barry
Here come the "Polock" jokes
Ed, KA9CTT profanity is IGNORANCE made audible
you can`t fix stupid not even with duct tape
Those are not beehives, they are outhouses for smurfs!
I don't know how far I would drive that trailer.
People in those countries even use motorcycles to transport hives. Two at a time...
I actually like the design of the trailer. It would make transporting hives very easy, as you don't need to take them off the trailer. Pull up, drop off the trailer, level it, and be gone. Just walk down the middle of the trailer to do maintenance.
Those must be some deep frames.....
A little off topic; I was looking at some old bee magazines, and in the June 2009 ABJ "Classroom" section, Jerry Hayes says, "Poland has a great system of providing all beekeepers in the country with artificially inseminated queens, so that genetic traits can be controlled and diversity maintained."
I wonder how many beekeepers there are in Poland...
I wonder if they even use frames. Perhaps just top bars.
Regards, Barry
Looks like he is putting his money in his pocket not in equipment.
Cheap car
A couple cheap trailers for each yard
An American beekeeper might approach the problem of moving hives differently.
Trailer for bobcat
Brand new 4x4 truck to pull every thing!
No DOT in Poland.....obviously.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." - JOHN F. KENNEDY -
I just don't like the way the trailer is bowing. There are some beeks over here who use trailers to save on and off loading, although I would think the whole shebang would be vulnerable to theft.
Aren't those the types of hives that you access by a door that is the entire back panel? You then slide the frames out horizontally. I've seen pictures of some like that used years ago in the US.
I have been there and seen the inside of them. They are a double deep aprox. 18" x 18" and about 24" high. most of beeks in Poland don't have a problem with transport of bees on trailer of that kind because they just slide them off the trailer on a board. If you noticed the complete trailer is constructed with steel and is welded, so there is no concern about it falling apart. Yes they do have D.O.T. it's the Police and they monitor all the vehicles and their safety. Poland is a country about the size of Texas and the beeks don't go far with their bees for pollination.
I have been there twice last two years and got to go to a supply house and got some of their foundation, It is of better quality than what we have availabl here, they are very cautious about the melting temperature of the wax. I built a hive that is higher than the hive body we use here and put on some regular suppers and put the bees in and what a difference it makes. The bees do a lot better and faster job with no swarming for the last two years. High production of honey and faster than my other hives. Now I only use this system and have built it for two other beeks and they love it.
Central of beekeeping union bought trailer like that http://www.grodziskodolne.pl/mambots...e93ceb5679.jpg .Cost of one is around 8000 $ problem is that trailer You can borrow to one two days for transportation . I must drive 100 mil to borrow a trailer (and secend 100 to give them back trailer ) Its stupid..8000 $ & from trailer like that its another stupid.(becouse that 10 yers track )http://allegro.pl/renault-premium-40...843079615.html cost similar cash! Honey cost 3 to 5 $ all beekeepers live from honey only No pollination income no goverment support exept few $ to war with Varroa & (you can buy devices for beekeeping like trailer (he he http://www.beesource.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif) extractor (if you had a luck -no one from your local union participate to buy any device -simply is a grant to separation betwen the local beekeper .Buyng device beekeper pay 50% and from grant is rest if he luck .ITS BEEKEEPING IN POLAND
I'm not sure I understand?
You receive $ for treatment from the government and grant money to extract your crop?
In treatment of bees from Varroa 80% & for buying NEW device (NOT ALL CASE )50% . Bees union - mean government participates in costs 50% 0r 80 % to Your. But is bound by the principles ...
Few digits about beekeeping in Poland.44 999 - number of entities involved in maintaining colonies in POLAND.1 123 356 - state of bee colonies in October 2009 (according to data from the registers of district veterinarians) .14 kg - average yield colonies in 2009 year.////About Hives --Most of my Polish friends using four types of Dadant hives, Warsaw extended or compoment hives. Dadant frame size 435mm x 300mm its 17.4 "x12". Warsaw extended is the same frame of Dadant (frame is turned 180 degres).Warsaw standard its 240x445 9.6 "x17, 8." Most of compoment hives have small frames- Ostrowska.The hives what tedw200 saw in Poland was probably Dadant with two or one compoment (half dadant -under basic hive ) Basic Dadant is in attachment photo.If You wont info about size &build of Dadant I could find it ...
