Auto insurance became mandatory, in a most basic form, in 1927. The first state to offer auto liability insurance was Connecticut, in 1925. Connecticut required drivers to demonstrate financial responsibility in the event of an auto accident resulting in injury, death, and property damage.

Auto insurance was simply one of the most cost-efficient ways to protect the driver from license suspension and to do the right thing in the event of an auto accident resulting in serious consequences. Truly mandatory auto insurance became necessary in most states in the 1970s. Massachusetts was the first state (second to Connecticut's financial responsibility statute and premise) to make auto insurance mandatory for drivers in 1927.
What did early Connecticut auto insurance laws require?
Connecticut, the home of many insurance companies, was first to offer auto liability insurance. The driver of any involved vehicle in an accident resulting in injury, or property damage (greater than $100), was required to demonstrate financial responsibility (at a minimum level of $10,000) according to Connecticut Public Acts, Chapter 183 in 1925.
According to Connecticut law, the driver could comply with the financial responsibility demonstration by:
- Purchasing motorist liability insurance in this required amount
- Providing a bond at this amount when required to do so
- Depositing bonds, stocks, or other negotiable financial instruments of this amount or greater
- Depositing currency in this amount
If the driver didn't perform any of these actions to demonstrate financial responsibility, his license was suspended. If an injured person didn't complain after being involved in an accident, the state didn't know about it!
How did auto insurance laws differ from financial responsibility laws?
Although the law stated that motorists weren't required to demonstrate financial responsibility until an accident occurred, many people decided that preparing for an accident before it happened was an excellent way to transfer risk. That's why, at least in the beginning, auto insurance was considered an optional risk management tool.
Insurance companies were also able to underwrite auto insurance on future auto accidents or mishaps. Drivers with a desire to think ahead thought early auto insurance was a good idea.
Although Connecticut's statute required that drivers prove financial responsibility after an accident (and the state allowed one accident prior to making the driver comply with the statute), many people thought that auto insurance provided extra financial protection. Connecticut's lawmakers maintained the optionality of auto insurance as a measure of free will.
When did auto insurance laws for other states appear?
For these reasons, most states passed financial responsibility and auto insurance laws from 1925 through 1965. The four kinds of laws passed by the states included:
- Financial responsibility statutes
- Mandatory auto insurance laws
- Uninsured driver penalties
Massachusetts's 1925 statute was a forward-thinking law. Until 1957, Massachusetts remained the only state that required auto insurance by law. New York followed by passing a law in 1956. North Carolina then joined the group in 1957. Thereafter, all states (except Wisconsin, Tennessee, and New Hampshire in the year 2000) required auto insurance for all drivers.
By 2010, 49 states and the District of Columbia required compulsory auto insurance. In 2011, New Hampshire is the only state that does not require auto insurance in order to register an auto mobile there.
Are there any states today that do not require auto insurance?
New Hampshire, the Live Free or Die State, still allows drivers the choice to drive uninsured. It remains steadfast in its support of each driver's financial responsibility to operate and drive an automobile. That's the reason most drivers in all states purchase auto insurance. Also, it's why uninsured motorist protection remains very important.
New Hampshire's "security" laws were passed in 1937. All drivers involved in road accidents that resulted in injury, property damage, or death must present proof of financial responsibility. Like the earliest financial responsibility laws passed in the United States in the 1900s, the event of an accident activates the financial security laws. If the driver cannot demonstrate financial assets supporting his ability to repay another person for injuries, damages, or death suffered in an accident in which he is "at-fault," his driver's license is immediately revoked.
Now you know about when auto insurance became mandatory in the United States. Auto insurance remains the simplest way to demonstrate financial responsibility in all 50 states. Comparing your auto insurance rates with those of other auto insurance providers makes good financial sense.

My new puppy is trying to mount my other dog, what should I do?
We just brought home an 8wk old Carolina Dog Mix home from the shelter yesterday and I've noticed that he's been trying to mount my female 2 year old terrier mix. I've also noticed him trying to do the same thing to my two sons (2yrs and 4yrs).
Obviously I don't let him mount my kids but I'm unsure about what to do when he mounts my female dog. Is he playing or is he trying to establish dominance? If he is trying to establish dominance, should I interfere or let the dogs determine what they need to?
I just want to be sure that there are no dominance or aggression issues... I want to handle this right!!
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!

Sometimes they do it playing. If your new puppy is out of line, your older dog will let him know. Good Luck with your new pup.

It is sometimes a gesture of play or 'pushing the older dog's buttons' [trying to see how much he can annoy her till she tells him to quit], but it is also a dominance sometimes. My pit bull would do the same thing when he was little, he would mount as much as he could... we discouraged him from it though, told him "No" when he would, and then get his mind on something else like a toy.
He still likes to mount our female dog [he is neutered, she is spayed.], and she absolutely HATES it.... but he doesn't give up until I step in and settle him down.
I do recommend trying to break this though before he embarrasses you like my dog will sometimes do... he will 'try his luck' on every dog at the dog park... which is humiliating to say the least....
Best Regards! =D

Repairs Better Than Duct Tape
Every human body is, even at conservative estimates, made up of trillions upon trillions of cells. Inside those cells is DNA, which serves as the body's basic operating system—it keeps our hearts pumping, our lungs breathing, cells reproducing and even our hair growing. But DNA can also be damaged—by environmental toxins, radiation and medical treatments like chemotherapy. When that happens, DNA's own enzymes immediately start the repair process on the cells.
Associate Professor of Biological Sciences Brandt Eichman, along with colleagues from Pennsylvania State University and the University of Pittsburgh, has discovered a new way that those cell enzymes detect and repair damage to DNA. Finding this new DNA repair mechanism could lead to improved treatments for a variety of diseases, including cancer.
"Understanding protein-DNA interactions at the atomic level is important because it provides a clear starting point for designing drugs that enhance or disrupt the interactions in a very specific way," Eichman says.
This discovery could lead to chemotherapy drugs that attack cancerous cells without harming healthy ones. Another benefit might be fewer of the harmful side effects associated with chemotherapy treatments such as nausea, hair loss and debilitating fatigue.
Arts and Science graduate student Emily H. Rubinson assisted in the project. Detailed findings of Eichman's research were published in the online journal, Nature. The research was funded by grants from the American Cancer Society, the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Hunting and Conservation Go Hand in Hand
By newsroom On October 30, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Conservation, Indoor/Outdoor Recreation, Kate Dunn, KRCC News, Sports, Student Reporter
The National Wildlife Federation recently released the results of their Hunters and Anglers survey. KRCC's Kate Dunn says the report shows conservation continues to be an important issue for many sportsmen.
The 2012 survey polled 800 self-identified hunters and Anglers around the country and found nearly half believe land conservation is just as important as gun rights. 13 percent said it's more important.
Michael Seraphin of Colorado Parks and Wildlife says the results aren't really surprising.
"The survey results kind of tend to reinforce the fact that hunters and anglers are conservation minded, and that in Colorado, and most states in the US, the basic funding for wildlife management from state agencies comes from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses."
According to the survey, hunters and fisherman brought in $90 billion dollars to the national economy during the 2006 to 2011 period. In 2006, a Fish and Wildlife service study said sportsmen contributed $3 billion dollars to the Colorado economy.

Chris Brown's Dad Worries About His Relationship, Partying with Rihanna
Chis Brown's father sat down with the New York Daily News recently and shared his thoughts on his son's relationship with Rihanna. Brown's dad, Clinton, thinks the pair are too "immature" to have a healthy relationship and thinks the violence of their relationship wasn't just "one-sided." Clinton also worries about the pair's partying and references what happened to Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and others as examples.
What do you think? Do you agree with Brown's father?

At Monsanto, we're all about sustainable solutions. That's why we're committed to getting the public involved in a global conversation about the methods we're using in order to help grow enough food for a growing world. Ask your own questions regarding anything from honey bee health, GMOs, to sustainability in agriculture and more.
Whether it's in soybean or cotton, the Roundup Ready® Xtend Crop System will utilize herbicide-tolerant trait technologies to help maximize yield potential, weed control and quality.
In December 2015, Monsanto announced a first-of-its-kind program to introduce a model for carbon neutral crop production that will help reduce the carbon footprint of crop production.
Sustainability is a journey that presents a constant but welcome challenge: how can we push ourselves to achieve even more? How do we feed a growing planet in a changing climate?
We work to help farmers produce food in a sustainable way. We think holistically about how our food is grown so farmers have the tools they need to have better harvests - to make a plate of meats, grains, fruits and vegetables within reach for every family.
On July 29, Dr. Aaron Gassmann, an entomologist at Iowa State University, published a paper in the online journal PloS ONE entitled "Field-evolved Resistance to Bt Maize by Western Corn Rootworm." In his study, Dr. Gassmann reports western corn rootworm (WCR) in four fields in Iowa have developed resistance to the single Bt protein Cry3Bb1 – used in Monsanto YieldGard® VT Triple and Genuity® VT Triple PRO™ corn products.
Both of these products continue to perform very well for growers in 2011, providing the expected level of WCR control on more than 99% of the acres planted with this technology. However, we take performance and efficacy of our products seriously, and we are collaborating with Dr. Gassmann to better understand his initial data and to determine if and how they impact our IPM recommendations to growers. It appears he has demonstrated a difference in survival in the lab, but it is too early to tell whether there are implications for growers in the field.
Since launching a product with this trait in 2003, we have monitored and studied a consistently low incidence of performance issues in limited areas with high WCR densities and under specific environmental conditions. There has been no measurable increase in the frequency of these performance issues over time. Ongoing studies with Dr. Gassmann and others are critical to understanding the factors that lead to these performance challenges. The studies will help us further refine local agronomic recommendations and identify other crop protection products that offer growers the best options to manage corn pests and improve overall corn production.
From agronomic recommendations to innovative trait combinations to a robust discovery platform, we are taking a comprehensive approach to the stewardship of insect-protected traits.
1. First launched in 2010, the portfolio of Genuity® SmartStax™ multi-trait corn hybrids continues to grow, providing dual modes of action and increased protection for growers – especially in those areas with increased WCR pressure.
2. Through the expansion of Refuge-in-the-Bag (RIB) products such as Genuity® SmartStax™ RIB Complete, farmers are able to more easily ensure refuge compliance.
3. Researchers continue to discover and develop unique genes in our pipeline that offer farmers new hybrid options with additional modes of action.
4. We continue to gather and assess the most current scientific knowledge to develop effective, comprehensive IPM recommendations that strike a balance with grower practicality, acceptance and implementation of the plan.
Editor's Note: Since this statement published in July 2011, we have posted additional resources and information for growers. For the most current resources, please refer our Corn Rootworm Backgrounder, Insect Resistance Management page, and the 2012 IRM Grower Guide. Information on our corn rootworm traits and performance can be found in the Monsanto blog: Looking Ahead to the 2012 Corn Planting Season (January 27, 2012) and Strategies to Ensure Farmer Productivity with Corn Rootworm Control (November 11, 2011).

Other Thoughts:
I deducted 1 egg or no Windows XP support, this mean that you WILL NOT be able to run this monitor under XP using 1920 by 1200 resolution graphics in the monitors native display, this will result in poor display quality. I also deducted 1 egg for the combination of no HDMI support and the use of the less expensive E-IPS panel. H-IPS is far superior in display quality. The similar priced HP ZR2440w has none of these shortcomings and supports XP.

Queensland's miners have barely finished pumping out their mine shafts but the climate pattern generally blamed for the devastating floods earlier this year, La Niña, may be back.
The United States' National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently issued a statement saying that the La Niña climate pattern has appeared in the tropical Pacific Ocean.
The government body says the pattern will gradually strengthen and continue into the northern winter. The NOAA said it reflects a "redevelopment" of the La Niña that ran from June, 2010, to May, 2011.
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology believes it is too early to say whether another La Niña will emerge.
David Jones, the bureau's manager of climate change and prediction, said that from looking at the same data it looked: "borderline- normal La Niña".
He said he could understand why the NOAA had issued its forecast and bureau staff were constantly swapping emails with the agency. But the bureau's models did not point to anything more than a borderline, weak La Niña pattern at this point.
The bureau said in late August, in one of its regular advisories on the climate pattern, that a La Niña was possible in 2011.
"Further cooling of the central Pacific Ocean coupled with persistent positive SOI [Southern Oscillation Index] values in the next few months would increase the chance of a La Niña event at the end of 2011," the statement said.
With the Pacific climate only recently returning to what amounts to normal conditions after the La Niña of last year and early this year, the news will not be welcome in Queensland in particular.
Effects of the floods, generally blamed on La Niña, included flooding of parts of Brisbane.
Back-to-back La Niñas do occur, with the NOAA announcement saying that they occur about half the time.
The climatic forces that drive both La Niña, and the obverse El Niño, are not fully understood, but by observing sea surface patterns through satellites, scientists can tell when they are about to emerge.
A La Niña is characterised by cooler water in the eastern and central Pacific, with that change altering the atmospheric circulation across the Pacific to push more rain-bearing clouds towards eastern Australia.
The NOAA said that La Niña winters often result in drier than normal conditions across the southern tier of the US, and wetter than normal conditions in the Pacific north-west and Ohio Valley.
"The strong 2010-11 La Niña contributed to record snowfall, flooding and drought across the US, as well as other extreme weather events throughout the world, such as heavy rain in Australia and a dry equatorial eastern Africa," it said.

What is abnormal urine color?
Normal urine color ranges from pale yellow to deep gold. Urine that's abnormally colored may have tints of red, orange, blue, green, or brown. Abnormal urine color can be caused by a variety of issues. For example, it can result from taking certain medications, eating certain foods, having certain medical conditions, or being dehydrated.
If your urine is abnormally colored and you can't pinpoint the cause, make an appointment with your doctor. In some cases, abnormal urine colors are caused by serious medical conditions that require treatment.
What causes abnormal urine colors?
Many things can cause your urine to develop an unusual color. Some causes are temporary and harmless. For example, eating certain foods or taking certain medications can cause the color of your urine to change. Other causes are more serious. For example, you may have an underlying injury, infection, or other medical condition that requires treatment.
Dark yellow urine
If your urine just appears darker than normal, you're probably dehydrated. When you don't drink enough fluids, the compounds in your urine become more concentrated. This makes it appear darker in color.
Red or pink urine
Red or pinkish urine can be caused by:
- certain foods, such as beets, blackberries, and rhubarb
- certain medications, such as rifampin, Pyridium, and laxatives that contain senna
- blood in your urine, for example, from an injury, obstruction, infection, kidney disease, benign prostate enlargement, or cancer
- poisoning from lead or mercury
- severe muscle injury
Blood in your urine is a cause for concern. It can be a sign of a serious health problem.
Orange urine
Orange urine is commonly caused by medications, such as:
- rifampin
- Pyridium
- laxatives
- sulfasalazine
- some chemotherapy drugs.
Some medical conditions can also turn your urine orange. It may be a sign of problems with your bile ducts or liver, especially if your stool is also light in color. Your urine may also appear orange as a result of dehydration.
Blue or green urine
Blue- or green-tinged urine can be caused by:
- food coloring
- dyes used in certain kidney and bladder tests
- certain medications and supplements, such as indomethacin, amitriptyline, propofol, and some multivitamins
In rare cases, it may be caused by:
- an infection in your urinary tract caused by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- familial benign hypercalcemia, a rare hereditary disease
Brown urine
Brown urine can be caused by:
- certain foods, such as fava beans, aloe, or rhubarb
- certain medications, such as primaquine, chloroquine, nitrofurantoin, metronidazole, methocarbamol, and laxatives with cascara or senna
- some urinary tract infections, liver disorders, and kidney disorders
- severe muscle injury
When should you seek medical help?
If your urine develops an unusual color that doesn't seem to be linked to food you've eaten, medication you've taken, or dehydration, contact your doctor.
Some of the underlying causes of abnormal or dark-colored urine are harmless. Others are serious illnesses that require treatment. Your doctor can help you identify the cause of your abnormally colored urine.
It's especially important to see your doctor if you suspect there's blood in your urine. You should also make an appointment with your doctor if you develop dark brown urine along with pale-colored stools or a yellowish tinge to your skin and eyes.
How will your doctor diagnose the cause?
Your doctor will likely ask you questions about your urine. They will want to know:
- how long the unusual color has been present
- if you've noticed any unusual odors
- if you've seen any blood clots in it
They will likely ask you if you've experienced any pain while urinating or other symptoms. They may also ask you about any medications you're currently taking. It's important to report any prescription and over-the-counter medications as well as any herbal supplements that you take.
Depending on the color of your urine and other symptoms, your doctor may order one or more tests. For example, they will probably collect a sample of your urine for testing in a laboratory to check for signs of infection or other abnormalities. They may also collect a sample of your blood for testing. Blood tests can help them learn if your liver and kidneys are functioning properly.
Your doctor may also perform an ultrasound of your urinary bladder or kidneys. This imaging test uses sound waves to create an image of your internal organs. An abdominal and pelvic CT scan may be performed if urinary tract stones are suspected. When indicated, imaging studies can help your doctor check for structural defects in your urinary tract.
What will your treatment involve?
Your doctor's recommended treatment plan will depend on the cause of your abnormal urine color. Ask your doctor for more information about your specific diagnosis, treatment options, and long-term outlook.
In some cases, simple lifestyle changes may be all that's needed. If your urine is abnormally colored as a result of dehydration, you can drink more fluids. If the unusual color is caused by certain foods, you can eat less of them if it bothers you.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
This was a supper fun class, and I found the ruler to be user friendly. This baby quilt is for my DH's nephew and his wife for their new arrival.
BTW, the red looking squares are really a raspberry color. My camera distorted the color.
wonderful boarder. look really cool. thx for showing
SMILE- it will make everyone wonder what you are up to.
Stay strong and keep looking up.
That quilt is sweet!!! Love the borders as well as the colors. Nice work!
Don't find fault, find a remedy.
Adorable, looks like the French braid. I want to make one of those.
Your quilt is so sweet and cheery...perfect for a baby quilt. I love the border.
I have always done that with a foundation fabric that has the lines printed but it's great to know that it can be done without and still turn out great. I hate always having to buy the foundation fabric. Would be money ahead to purchase the ruler!!
That's a happy little quilt.
I've done the French Braid border on quils. Great way to use up scraps, too.
My best is the least I can do.
That is so pretty! The border really makes the quilt. How hard was it to make?
Four things you can't recover: The stone.....after the throw. The word......after its said. The occasion.....after its missed. The time......after its gone

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.

I took out a title loan, I was approved for $4000, but after they took out fees, moly only got $3800. I don't ever remember seeing the paper where it shows the interest rate, or how much I would be paying back after two years.
I was in a bind and needed the money, I didn't even need that much, but they talked me into taking the full amount I was approved for. After continulesly making my payment every month, I had paid off the amount that borrowed and more within less then a year, I then lost my job, and was not able to make my payment, they said I could refinance, but they would add $800 more on to my loan, after being late one month, they repoed my truck, was told I would have to get caught pun with my payments and late fees before they would release my truck, then I would have to pay the place for storing my truck.
I don't know how this can be legal, this ihe one of the reasons why this country is going to s**t. You go to someone for help when your struggling, and you end up loosing more thn what you started with. The interest rate they gave me was 111%, who does that, really?

It's a little too late to find out your interest rate AFTER YOU signed the contract.
SUBMITTED: Saturday, July 12, 2014POSTED: Saturday, July 12, 2014
Did they change the amount AFTER YOU signed? Didn't think so. The interest rate to people with their credit in the toilet is ALWAYS high. They assume at some point you would default and you didn't disappoint.
I don't work for them, would NEVER use a deadbeat lender and don't believe you were ripped off. You did it to yourself and now want to blame anyone else. This is NOT your first time for defaulting on a loan, is it?

I'm someone who thought Rayman Origins was okay. I wouldn't say I loved my experience with the first game, but for what I payed for, it was worth what I payed for. Now I hear they essentially made the same game, with only refinements on the previous game & I'm sort of baffled. Much of what I thought about the first game is mirrored in ex-1uper Jeremy Parish's review of Legends. Put aside the fact that I don't necessarily like what this game is trying to do, can someone answer to me where they get the gall charging 40$ for this? I mean is this the mid-tier 40$ game future that developers are promising us? Instead of 60$ games scaled down it's 20$ games scaled up? That's cool & all but where's the moxie? I know this was a labor of love with a lot of great art, and I don't really care about the length but from a design perspective of how you're interacting in the environment of the game, what justifies the cost?
Is it because Vita is the main platform & you charge 40$ on Vita so they think they can on all platforms? Again this isn't a length argument, I don't give a shit how long a game is before I buy it generally unless it upset the story/gameplay. This game could be 100 hours long as opposed to the first game and I'd still be asking this.
The first game did not feel minimal, it felt lazy & without intent. If you love this game, and I know Alex did, more power to you, I just want to hear more perspectives on what makes Rayman fans tick.

Middleweight Ogogo, a silver medallist at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, became the seventh British boxer to secure London 2012 selection after beating Belarusian Vitali Bandarenka 14-7 in his semi-final in Trabzon.
Ogogo has only just returned to the ring after five months out following shoulder surgery, an injury he blamed for his failure to qualify at the first attempt last year.
"I am just so thrilled and relieved to have finally qualified after all the challenges I have had to overcome," Ogogo told British Boxing.
"I have had so much bad luck with injuries but I never lost faith in myself and have had some amazing support from the coaches and all of the back-up team that have helped me to get over my shoulder injury and be in a position to compete in this qualifier.
"I always knew that if I got myself fully fit and free of injury then I could compete with the best in the world and I just want to thank all of the people that have helped me to do this.
"It will be a dream-come-true to represent Great Britain in a home Olympics and I cannot wait to walk out in that arena in London."
However, light heavyweight Smith's hopes are now out of his hands. He needed to reach the final of his event to qualify but lost narrowly in the semi-finals, 16-14, to Vatan Huseynli.
However, if Huseynli beats Turkish home favourite Bahram Muzaffer on Saturday he would earn the last of the three available European quota places in the weight division.
"I'm disappointed that Callum has not qualified and felt he boxed superbly as he has done all this week," said GB performance director Rob McCracken. "Hopefully the result of the final will go his way and we will have another qualifier.
"Whatever happens, I am very proud of the whole team and to have qualified seven boxers with the chance of an eighth is a fantastic achievement by the boxers, the coaches and all of the support staff."
Meanwhile, lightweight Josh Taylor, who secured his Team GB place by reaching the semi-finals, lost his last four encounter with Vazgen Safaryants - although his principle aim for the week had already been accomplished.
Taylor and Ogogo join Andrew Selby, Luke Campbell, Tom Stalker, Fred Evans and Anthony Joshua who secured their slots at last year's World Championships.
Savannah Marshall, Natasha Jonas and Nicola Adams will hope to complete the squad but they must reach the semi-finals at next month's women's World Championships in China.

Mental hospital fined for worker safety violations
RALEIGH, N.C. - State workplace safety regulators have fined a government-run mental hospital in Goldsboro over a series of injuries to employees that involved patients.
The North Carolina Department of Labor issued $15,300 in fines against Cherry Hospital earlier this month. At least eight employees were injured this year when they were either attacked by patients or attempting to intervene in fights.
The agency's report cited the hospital with serious violations of workplace safety regulations, as well as the failure of administrators to report some employee injuries to regulators.
North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman Julie Henry said Cherry administrators are reviewing the findings, but that the agency disagrees with the violations and will appeal. She also says progress has been made to increase training.

Third Grade
Our goal for children in third grade is to improve their work and study skills, which will enable them to continue on the road to becoming strong thinkers and learners, as well as responsible citizens.
Language Arts:
Our goal in Language Arts is to foster a love for reading, increase facility with written expression, and strengthen your child's ability to communicate verbally. We individualize our program as much as possible to meet the needs of all our students.
When essential, we regroup for the teaching of specific skills.
Language Arts are reinforced throughout our core curriculum studies.
The Scott Foresman-Addison Wesley Series is being used by our children this year. We use a variety of supplemental materials in our math classes as well.
Our major areas of concentration are the four basic operations - addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Other areas include place value, geometry, fractions, metric and standard measure, number theory and word problems. When time permits, your children will have their math concepts reinforced through games and learning centers.
The computers are also used for reinforcement of skills.
Social Studies:
The third grade social studies program explores the question, "Who Am I in my State?" beginning with a study of maps and globes. We then explore Native Americans. Students learn about the earliest inhabitants of North America and Pennsylvania, focusing on their customs and regional differences. Students study the history and geography of Pennsylvania.
This includes learning about Chester County and local townships.
Our ongoing projects in the Social Studies units help the child's thinking andworking skills. Current Events, Holidays, Pennsylvania Weekly and Time News for Kids are also an important part of our program. It is always enjoyable and meaningful to have parents share their experiences through slides and other pertinent material with the children.
If you are interested in participating in our Social Studies program, please contact your child's core teacher.
The third grade science curriculum consists of units developed by Science and Technology for Children. Each third grade class is scheduled in the science room for two 45 minute periods per week.
Many concepts are extended through integration with other curricular areas. Our units for 2009-10 are as follows: Rocks and Minerals, Land & Water, Chemical Tests, Plant Growth and Development.
Computer Technology:
All children will be given instruction by their core teacher. We will extend our students' experiences in all subject areas through the use of computers. Through the use of Web Quests and Research Quests, students explore in greater depth concepts found in social studies and science.
Social Skills:
All students will participate in classroom meetings throughout the year to develop and encourage good social skills as well as problem solving skills. We will continue our Life Skills program again this year.
This year a major focus for our school is the integration of curricular areas. The integration of curriculum takes place in our core groups. Connecting content helps students see relationships between areas of study.
Students will have opportunities to work with all third graders and, when appropriate other grade levels in our school.

How then is it that there is in this country a widespread perception that figurative art is largely, if not on the wane, then widely excluded from public view by the taxpayers' great engines of public patronage, the Arts and British Councils, the Tate Galleries and their many outstations, and, lately, even by the Royal Academy, its former home? Has figurative art of any substance played a major role in the Turner Prize since its reincarnation under Nicholas Serota? Does it dominate the Academy's Summer Exhibition with paintings that match the profundities of Rembrandt and Velázquez? From the NPG's annual Portrait Award have we a new Lawrence or Gainsborough? Indeed, we might well ask from the last five shows there what, in the context of such forebears, has happened to the precocious genius of the young as portrait painters? If we look about us at contemporary art in Britain we see figurative painting and sculpture driven into the shadows and cut off by the cutting edge of the multimedia installation, the accumulation of abandoned detritus, the video, the photograph and all the other multifarious avoidances of the intellectual and technical disciplines of ancestral painting and sculpture. And if the art market seems suddenly excited by what some critics and curators perceive to be a resurgence of figurative art, it is by the rubbish flooding from Chinese and Indian imitators of the exhausted genre of photorealism.
I therefore have great sympathy with the founders of the Threadneedle Figurative Prize, City men who, managing money, are customarily damned as worshippers of Mammon rather than the arts, but who sense that something is amiss with art as it is now. Their intention for the prize is that it should "celebrate the finest in contemporary figurative art", and "create a vital new platform" for it. Exactly. Figurative art has had no platform for a quarter of a century; the Royal Academy has betrayed it, the agencies of the state have drifted off to wilder shores, and the commercial galleries have followed them. It is virtually impossible in London for a young figurative painter to establish a reputation either intellectual or commercial, or for an older painter to maintain one. Galleries whose artists are primarily figurative are largely despised by the cognoscenti and ignored by the critics, but at least such art dealers recognise that the private ownership of paintings with which to live is a very different matter from the public ownership of fashionable art (though it has to be said that some, in terms of taste, are their own worst enemies). At the heart of it all lies the failure of art schools, up and down the land, to maintain any continuity with the disciplined teaching and testing that informed students in the first half of the 20th century. The great schools of figurative art, the Slade, the Academy and Camberwell, for example, where even the most forgotten painter now seems to have been a genius, no longer teach what has been taught for centuries, and they no longer produce, in their student years, painters remotely as able as Augustus John, Orpen and Wyndham Lewis. Of the Slade in the early Sixties, Derek Jarman wrote with telling regret for the passing of an epoch, the skeletons of anatomy studies and the plaster casts of classical sculpture thrown out into the rain, to be replaced by American Pop and the perverse edicts of Clement Greenberg, a now largely discredited critic of narrow Modernist background. It was the brutal beginning of a swiftly accomplished end. The Threadneedle Prize is intended to be an instrument of resurrection.
The Turner Prize has had in recent years the advantage of a specific objective; it has therefore appointed judges on whom it can more or less rely to reach the expected and almost predictable verdict. The disadvantage of the first Threadneedle Prize was that the crucial term "figurative" was incoherently defined in the minds of the sponsors, and the five appointed judges were haplessly at such variance that there could be little general agreement. My own view of the prize was that it was intended to be an engine of change, not a friendly show of pleasant pictures, that it was to reverse the ostracism of figurative art that is now so widespread in the cultural institutions, and not merely reflect the tastes and whims of five judges with very different viewpoints. Though I liked them well enough, I do not consider a picture of a brick wall to be figurative, nor the model of a building that echoed those of the Chapman brothers' Hell. I could not see that a free-standing erect tented enclosure was figurative, even if, as intended, the spectator stood in it — neither it nor three nasty little things that I took to be the mouldy skins of old salamis had the slightest aesthetic charge to them; yet all these ousted paintings and sculptures that, to me, had merit in a figurative sense.
To be blunt, of the 2,700 works submitted by some 1,500 artists, the majority were a disappointment. Too few artists of any reputation had submitted work, but of the five whom, as a friend, I rebuked for this, not one knew of the prize until I spoke of it — but then nor did I until asked to speak at a debate during the course of the exhibition at the Mall Galleries. A number of moderately known figurative painters did not, alas, submit new work but sent familiar pictures left unsold from past exhibitions; these, far from their best, not only did them no good but were, in a way, insulting to both the prize and its judges. Painters should have had some respect for both and ensured that we had only the very best of their work on which to form a judgment.
I say "we" because, at a late stage, I was asked to join four judges already appointed; these were Richard Cork, my predecessor on this paper and now a favourite of the Establishment for his reliable correctitude, Angela Flowers, doyenne of London art dealers with an interest in figurative art, Hew Locke, a sculptor of mixed media ilk much supported by INIVA (the Arts Council's "plurality of cultures" branch), and doughty William Packer, better known as an art critic than the sober and vigilant painter that he is. We did not much agree. Bill Packer and I were mostly as one, sticking to what we saw as our brief, but constantly aware that we were losing the battle for figurative art. Had it not been that each of us was allowed to retain works for further argument, many decent figurative images in the final selection would have been rejected. In order to bring them back and keep them in the running, horse-trading was necessary. In retrospect it seems almost a fluke that anything figurative reached the shortlist of seven from which the public had to choose the winner. Three of these seven seem to me pretty poor, and the winner chosen by the public so feeble, repellent and un-figurative that it defeats the point of the prize.
I have had a number of letters from unhappy painters, one of which is particularly worth quoting: "The promotion of a long-awaited resurgence of figurative painting? What a let-down. The exhibition is uninteresting, uninspired, positively dull and thin" — this from an artist whose painting we included. My own view is not quite so grim, but as a judge I was bitterly disappointed that so few professional painters responded to the objectives of the prize, and dismayed that every Sunday painter in the land was vain enough to snatch the opportunity to swamp the prize with rubbish. Worst of all was the imbalance between the two prizes, £10,000 unanimously awarded by the judges to Tim Shaw for his Tank on Fire, but £25,000 given by public vote to Nina Murdoch for her fashionably Untitled patch of pink light on a pavement's edge — evidence that the public missed the point and preferred to reward the nearest thing to a Monet in the show, rather than do a little intellectual work and identify a future Bacon, Freud or Hockney. "Why should my work be judged by any Tom, Dick or Harry?" my letter-writer continued. "I sent it in to be judged by serious critics, no matter how divergent their views."
I agree with him. I quite see why the sponsors like the idea of engaging the interest of the public in this way, and it counters the criticism always addressed to the Turner Prize that it invites recommendations from the public and then pitches them unread into the waste- paper bin, but the visual arts are not the field for universal franchise. It might have worked in ancient Athens where there was no democracy in any sense that we might recognise and tolerate, but not here, not now. Those whose hands have the stranglehold on the visual arts, the Tates and Arts and British Councils, determine what shall be commissioned, exhibited nationally and internationally, and bought by the state, combining their public funds to make them art's most powerful and influential patron, their patronage driven ideologically, politically and undemocratically to support a very narrow sector now wearyingly familiar in the futility of its cutting edge. Its one nod to figurative art is Antony Gormley, all of whose body casts amount to nothing but the exploitation, variation, repetition and replication of one single nugatory idea. In any argument in praise of figurative art, Gormley, a joker of inordinate vanity, does not count.
My shoulder is to the Threadneedle wheel. This new prize is capable of achieving a greater good than any other, but it must, without becoming quite as predictable as the Turner Prize — the intellectual determination of which it utterly lacks — achieve next year a far higher level of distinction. That, of course, depends almost entirely on the contributing painters and sculptors who must themselves have in their minds a clear definition of figurative art. They must also feel that they can have trust in the quality of the prize exhibition and will not find their work rubbing shoulders with that of crass amateurs. This is the responsibility of the sponsors who must match the current art establishment in guile and stratagem, for the benign romantic never achieves revolution. They must manipulate, manage and manoeuvre, and at the very least enlist judges who are, if not quite their pawns, their wholehearted allies in this profoundly serious endeavour.
Nothing will be easy — not even the subject, for figurative art has been stripped of its ancestral sources in religion, myth and history, but as Bacon, Freud and Hockney all successfully constructed their own, we have proof that it can be done. With such popular exemplars, the artists, the judges and the sponsors should, between them, make the Threadneedle Prize not only of greater relevance to the wider public than any other, but the most prestigious art prize in the British calendar.

The Roots 13th album undun you can now listen to its entirety via NPR. It is also available for pre-order today on iTunes. NPR posted the album stream and gave us some more insight on Redford Stevens.
Source: Hypetrak
On undun, Questlove renders the lush modality of these composers in the vibrant hues of early-'70s soul music; the eerie, ghostly outro of "Make My" sublimates the drug dealer's hopeless, nihilistic glory into misty Moog and starry synths in the vein of Stevie Wonder's "Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You?)."

Silver-plated jewelry wireJuly 24, 2011
I love making necklaces with this wire. They are absolutely striking. The wire holds it's shape well and hangs very nicely. A few strategically placed beads held in place with crimps and you've got an elegant look that's hard to beat.

I'm not a heavy drinker- I don't like beer and being allergic to citrus severely limits the mixed drinks I can have. So I typically stick to wine. And like Taylor Swift, my preference is red. That girl and I have all sorts of things in common.
I decided to try out California Wine Club because, well, I like wine. I mean, that's really all there is to it. I'll be writing two posts about their wine, the second of which will include a giveaway so that one of y'all can try their wine for yourself!
The first bottle I opened was a 2009 Tempranillo. I know nothing about that, I just know that it was red and it wasn't two buck chuck. I have no idea about things like "essence of oak" and what not. I just know that some wines taste good and some wines do not.
This wine was SO GOOD. I say was because there is no more. We had company when I opened it and between us we finished off the bottle. It got rave reviews from everyone except Jeff and that was only because he didn't even try any.
The second wine was a 2008 Sauvignon Blanc, which is a white wine and it had a little sticker on it declaring it a Bronze Medal Winner. That sounded promising except that I had no idea what you are supposed to drink white wine with. So I googled "sauvignon blanc pairings" to get some recommendations. I'm really classy and use the internet as my sommelier.
Turns out, it recommended it with brie, which is my favorite snack. I pulled out some wheat crackers and then poured some praline mustard glaze over the brie and a glass of wine to go with it. That makes me sound really fancy until I tell you that I couldn't find the cheese knife so I used a toddler knife instead. And while I still prefer red wine, this wine was good too.
You can visit www.cawineclub.com to learn more about them – they deliver handpicked wine to your door each month. There are several packages that you can choose from but if there is a wine lover in your life, it would make a great gift! Some wine lovers in our family will be getting a gift package for Christmas this year. They have the wines packaged really well and wrapped in festive paper. I thought it would be something fun and a nice change.
Check back in a couple of weeks for a special giveaway opportunity!

Nina remains classy while squashing ridiculous feud rumors. She says her comments were 'light hearted.'
When asked about engagement during a recent interview with Canada's Fashion magazine, Nina Dobrev assured the interviewer she would never "pull a Miley," a comment which some people took as a subtle jab to Miley Cyrus. But The Vampire Diaries star is now clearing the air — or, rather, tweeting the air — to make sure there are no hard feelings.
"Note to self, light hearted comments don't always translate in magazine articles," Nina tweeted Aug. 1. "Big fan of @Mileycyrus – do you need a flower girl? :)"
I'm glad Nina acted quickly to squash rumors of a feud between herself and Miley, though I'd like to think her fans knew she wasn't being mean. The girl doesn't have a mean bone in her body.

I Wish the Street Fighter Games Looked As Amazing As This Stop-Motion Movie
Real life fights are painful and destructive! And video game fights are usually frustratingly difficult. So instead, watch this incredible stop-motion animated bout between Ryu and Ken. It almost feels like you're getting kicked in the skull.

The Hillary Clinton train, like the proverbial little train in the children's story, simply will not cease moving in her relentless desire to become the party's nominee for president. She won a smashing victory in Kentucky while Obama readily gained a victory in Oregon resulting in his possession of at least a majority of delegates who have been elected in primary contests. Exit polls revealed a significant number of Clinton voters openly expressed their desire to vote for a white person and indicated they would not vote for a black candidate. This marks a hardening of belief by those who support Hillary Clinton and who will not vote for any other Democratic candidate.
There is little question Hillary Clinton by prolonging the primary season has either deliberately or inadvertently made racism an important factor in the presidential race. She has engendered among many female supporters a belief that somehow the contest is one in which males are trying to prevent women from gaining high public office. For some reason, logical minded women now insist voting for Senator John McCain is a blow for women's rights even though he opposes abortion and has never done anything to further the cause of women.
The Clinton train will not reach its destination but may run smack into the opposing Obama train which would result in a train wreck that will destroy attempts for America to take a new destination that is free of war and in which human rights prevail. Ironically, the woman who is supposedly leading the fight for female gender equity might well seriously damage this cause by allowing John McCain to gain victory and then appoint conservative judges to the Supreme Court who will end a woman's right to abortion or to equity in pay and jobs.

New Features
New in P&ID
New in MEDInfo
New in MPDS4 REVIEW
New products
New: Trial Version
The new version 6.1 of MEDUSA4 and MPDS4 can now be downloaded from the CAD Schroer website as a free trial version. Of course, CAD Schroer provides the testers with complete documentation and tutorials in order to make evaluation easy. For individual questions about the software the MPDS4 and MEDUSA4 experts are available to testers via online support.
New: Update Client
With the latest version of MPDS4 and MEDUSA4 we deliver an update client. This automatically notifies the administrator of the software whether updates are available, for MPDS4 or MEDUSA4, then downloads and installs them on request. For the automatic download of new updates, access to the CAD Schroer Customer Portal is required, then the client will automatically recognize available updates.
New & Free: MPDS4 VIEW
The new MPDS4 VIEW 3D viewer is now available to everyone free of charge, and it lets you view plants, factories and 3D models designed with MPDS4 or another 3D system. It supports the common HSF and HMF formats, which allow large 3D models to be represented in a very compact way. In addition, the viewer can be used to view MEDUSA4 3D models in the form of MOD files.
Other supported formats are DGN and ISO 15926 XML, which can represent external plant planning data. In addition, Laser scanned point clouds can be uploaded in the form of OCC data. Naturally, MPDS4 VIEW can also be used to view other 3D formats like STL and VRML. The free 3D viewer is available for download on the CAD Schroer website: : MPDS4 View Download
Completely revised, modern User Interface
Completely New User Interface
MPDS4 and MEDUSA4 R6 is the latest generation of the worldwide used plant, factory planning and CAD software. It comes with a completely revamped modern user interface. CAD Schroer has collected user feedback over the years and analysed it carefully. The result is a clearly structured modern user interface with a Ribbon menu and a context-sensitive dashboard that provides the user with an even faster access to the clearly structured functions. When designing the new interface special emphasis was given to new users, to make an easy transition to the software. All dialogs and features have been further revised to make access to them simpler as well as more user-friendly.
Ribbon menu
The ribbon menu has proved itself in many diverse applications within the software world; for that reason CAD Schroer has now implemented a ribbon interface for MEDUSA4 R6. The new user interface is much simpler and hence more intuitive; existing users will notice the difference immediately. Navigation is easy because the functions are structured clearly and divided into context-sensitive groups. The re-design took into account that the path to click through to individual functions could be shortened; drawings can now be created even faster as a result. Users can customize the ribbon menu in MEDUSA4 R6 via an easy-to-use dialog-box. They can move individual icons around and create completely new function groups. CAD Schroer has also fundamentally overhauled the Icon-Design, making the function's meaning instantly recognisable from the icon.
As one of the most popular and productive mechanisms in our systems we have continuously developed the dashboard. It was once again completely overhauled for the new generation MEDUSA4 R6. Not only does it now have a permanent position on the left side of the application, it also includes all the properties and functions that are context specific to the current task. When drawing the dashboard displays all the relevant information, such as properties for the drawing sheet or for lines, texts, dimensioning, and symbols. Users can also edit the context sensitive tools and the associated function groups on the dashboard; they can add new functions, hide existing functions and even create new groups.
Windows File Manager
From MEDUSA4 R6 onwards, opening and saving of drawings and other file data is via the Windows standard file manager. Multiple files can now be opened simultaneously. Individual users can create their project file locations as a link in their explorer favourites and system administrators can manage access rights easily via Windows. Additionally, individual drawings can be previewed, with variable image size; either through the Windows file manager or directly via the Windows explorer.
Catalog and Symbol Browser
The new MEDUSA4 R6 includes a total re-design of the catalog and symbol browser. In the new browser, users have a precise overview of the symbol catalogs and standards used. When selecting a catalog the symbol browser preview window now graphically displays all the available symbols. If a specific part of the catalog is selected, only the appropriate symbols will be automatically retrieved and the relevant symbol preview will be displayed. Symbols can thus be easily searched, the required element chosen and placed in a drawing. The preview size of individual elements can be scaled dynamically. The selection facility previously available continues to be at the user's disposal.
In addition to the normal menus, MEDUSA4 R6 now also offers users a menu that is optimized for tablets. It consists of a configurable area where individual functions can be placed by drag and drop, in the form of various sized icons. The tablet menu was designed for touchscreens and tablets, but it can also be used as a dialog box on a second monitor.
In Sheet Graphics toolbars
To reduce cursor movements to a minimum, and to ensure there are no functions duplicated in ribbons or the dashboard we have added two In-Sheet Graphics toolbars. These tool bars, are translucent, unless the cursor is over them, contain the most commonly used viewing tools, selection filters and sheet navigation tools.
Backstage area, Options dialog and administration
In the style of software with a ribbon we have gathered together all of the common functions into a single "Backstage" area. Not only "Save" and "Save As", but license management, Options dialog and printing.
User Interface customisation
The new user interface is completely customisable at three levels. A user can show / hide / change button size of tools in the ribbon of dashboard. A user can also copy buttons to the tablet or shortcut area. A single command returns the interface to the start-up state. Administrators can manipulate buttons, groups and even ribbons to create an optimal company or department user interface. Dialogs can now be created using the industry standard GUI tool – Qt Designer
Optimized for modern screens
The new MEDUSA4 R6 user interface has been optimized for every common resolution used in modern screens, including the most common screen resolutions for laptops. The ribbon menu can be minimized to create extra space for the drawing area. The icons come in three different sizes, so they can be made larger or smaller as needed. The individual dialog boxes, such as the dashboard, the symbol manager, and the structure tree, can be detached from the user interface to free-up extra space for the drawing area, for example by moving them to a second monitor.
New and future-oriented: MEDUSA4 in the Cloud
With the new generation of MEDUSA4, the files can be completely managed in the cloud. In the current version, the cloud services Dropbox, Google DriveTM and Microsoft® OneDrive® are supported. This integration offers MEDUSA4 maximum flexibility for data management and data exchange. Individual files can be securely stored online in the cloud and are enabled by the collaboration capabilities of each service for other users.
New: Sending Drawings as e-mail
In the new version of MEDUSA4, a drawing can be shipped as an email directly by pressing a single button. For this purpose, a new e-mail is automatically opened in the users default e-mail client and the drawings of MEDUSA4 attached to the email. This speeds MEDUSA4 communication and forwarding of CAD data to colleagues and clients.
New: Import of DGN Drawings
The new version of MEDUSA4 has a new DGN interface for direct import of DGN 2D drawings. This format is especially popular in the Plant design market and a direct interface has considerable benefits.
New: Floating Input Dialogs
In the new version of MEDUSA4 some input dialogs, e.g. length, height, width, or the radius of a geometry float directly on the cursor. Thus they are always easily visible and accessible to the user. All numeric inputs now offer the additional option of calculating values by entering formulas.
New: QR Codes
MEDUSA4 R6 allows text, web addresses and other information concerning the drawing to be saved as QR (quick response) codes in the drawing. These can be edited quickly and easily by double-clicking on the QR code. This makes the drawing even more informative, and lets you encode the associated websites and information as a QR code.
New: Locked groups and symbols
MEDUSA4 R6 allows individual groups and symbols on the dashboard to be locked so that the entire group is automatically selected, rather than selecting individual geometries. Loaded group symbols are automatically locked in MEDUSA4 R6, and must be unlocked in order to edit them on the dashboard
New: Shortcuts
Useful line styles, text styles and symbols can now be saved as shortcuts in MEDUSA4 R6. As a result, the individual styles and symbols can be accessed quickly from the corresponding dashboard without configuring them in advance.
Update of the DIN EN ISO 10628 Standard to the 2013-04 Version
The new MEDUSA4 R6 comes with the updated DIN EN ISO 10628 as per the 2013-04 version. It contains all the symbols in accordance with the current standard. The old version of the DIN EN ISO 10628 symbol catalog is, of course, still available to the user.
Language–independent Symbol Properties
In MEDUSA4 R6 the properties for individual symbols and whole diagrams have been designed to be language independent. This means that when switching between languages in the project configuration mode, the property descriptions change accordingly, irrespective of the language used to create the diagram.
Enhanced Options for Crossing Pipelines
In MEDUSA4 R6 processing of lines which cross in diagrams has been optimised. The user now has various options to display them as gaps or curves. Priority over which line types show the break can also be configured. multiple crossovers can be changed to the desired configuration by a single mouse click.
Reports available in PDF, XLS, RTF or HTML formats
With MEDUSA4 R6 report formats have been extensively extended. In MEDUSA4 reports can now be generated in PDF, XLS, RTF, HTML as well as CSV formats. Also the format of individual reports can be customised for individual organisations. The option to create reports as tables on drawings and to preview in a dialog are, of course, also still available.
New Symbol Property Tables
This new function has been added in MEDUSA4 R6 to allow the generation of symbol property tables. Tables connected to the symbols can now be placed onto the diagram sheet. These tables contain the attribute values of the associated symbols. If the attributed values are changed, the values in the associated tables change automatically. Individual tables can be configured and can be adapted to respective corporate standards.
MEDInfo Web
The user interface for MEDInfo Web – the web interface of MEDUSA4's information and document management system – has also been optimized along with the MEDUSA4 R6 user interface. The web interface now offers a more modern, simplified, way to access individual documents and their data.
Viewing more detailed Data and Attributes
As an extensive 3D system for reviewing current planning data, MPDS4 REVIEW features tools for measuring and viewing detailed data and the attributes of individual components. With the new version, the software now includes the option of viewing even more detailed data and attributes of individual components during the planning phase.
New: 3D Point Clouds
In the new version, the previously supported HSF and MOD formats have now been supplemented by additional formats which extend our 3D viewing possibilities. The new supported standard formats are HMF, STL and VRML. In addition, 3D point clouds in OOC format are supported, as well as plant planning data in the proprietary DGN® and new plant interchange ISO 15926 XML format. As a result, MPDS4 REVIEW has become a comprehensive 3D reviewing tool for plant and factory planning data from a wide range of systems and planning tools
New & Free: MPDS4 VIEW
In addition to the commercially available MPDS4 REVIEW, CAD Schroer has released a free 3D viewer with the new version. MPDS4 VIEW can now be downloaded from the CAD Schroer homepage.MPDS4 REVIEW

French shipyard sends 4,300-berth MSC Preziosa on first voyage
Pride of French shipbuilders, cruise ship is among 10 largest in the world
Europe's largest cruise ship, the MSC Preziosa - a behemoth longer than the Eiffel Tower - has cast off on its first voyage, from Saint-Nazaire in western France to the southern port of Marseille.
The Preziosa was initially ordered by Libyan state shipping firm GNMTC in 2010, before shipbuilder STX France sold it on to Swiss-Italian operator MSC Cruises a year ago after Libya stopped making payments amid the revolution against Muammar Gaddafi.
The ship is 333 metres long, can carry 4,300 passengers and 1,400 crew, has four swimming pools, and is decked out in black and purple velvet, white-veined black marble and giant mirrors in front of passengers' beds.
At a christening ceremony on Thursday, French Industrial Renewal Minister Arnaud Montebourg said the Preziosa was a symbol of French shipbuilding prowess.
"Look at the 'Made in France', as they say, look how magnificent it is," he said, announcing €100 million (HK$1 billion) in state aid to the industry, including €80 million for projects such as fuel-efficient cruise liners.
Shipbuilding employs some 70,000 people in France and generates annual turnover of more than €10 billion.
The Preziosa measures among the 10 largest ships in the world.
But MSC Preziosa loses out in the size battle to be the world's largest to Miami-based Royal Caribbean International, which has five ships larger than the Preziosa.

There appears to be a propensity for government leaders to offer their wisdom concerning the act of rape. Naturally, these comments emanate from those of the male persuasion. Daming Sunsi was being questioned by a Supreme Court committee to ascertain his qualifications to become a judge when he decided to educate them about the nature of rape. He had been asked to state an opinion if a case came up dealing with a rapist and he responded that one must be careful because "in a rape case both the rapist and the victim enjoyed it."
The initial reaction was laughter on the part of judges and then common sense entered their minds resulting in making clear Sunsi should seek elsewhere for employment in the judiciary. Oh, his daughters told Sunsi they were furious and really did not appreciate having him as a father.
How about shoving a broom handle up the rear end of Sunsi so he can enjoy the experience?
