Toy Story of Terror Parent Review
Movie Review
Traveling in the trunk during a long trip, the Toy Story gang amuses themselves by watching a vampire movie. Although Woody, Buzz, Jessie and Mr. Potato Head (voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack and Don Rickles) are excited about this entertainment option, Rex (voice of Wallace Shawn) seems a bit frightened by the action. So Mr. Pricklepants (voice of Timothy Dalton), the plush hedgehog introduced in Toy Story 3, takes it upon himself to defuse the suspense by pointing out the predictable plot elements of the film. His stuffy lecture might have worked too, had not the same sorts of scary things started happening to the toys themselves…
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
First of all, it's a dark and stormy night. Then the car gets a flat tire forcing Bonnie and her Mom (voice of Emily Hahn and Lori Alan) to take refuge at a strange dwelling. (Okay, the roadside inn doesn't look that creepy, but you get the idea.) Once inside their assigned room and with the humans asleep, the toys decide to venture beyond of the safety of the suitcase and explore their dimly lit surroundings—even though Mr. Pricklepants reminds them that characters who do likewise in horror movies always start disappearing one by one.
Of course the lederhosen-wearing doomsayer proves right. But it is not until each of the separately captured pals is reunited in the same prison that they begin to unravel the mystery behind the Sleep-Well Hotel.
Despite a storyline reminiscent of Toy Story 2, it is very likely the spooky depictions in this made-for-TV animation will make many young viewers as nervous as the neurotic Rex. That's because this spoof really isn't intended for children, or anyone else who isn't already very familiar with thriller movies (the screenplay even contains a nod to the ominous shower scene in Psycho). But tweens and high school students old enough to be studying the rules of storytelling in their English or Drama classes may really appreciate the running commentary by the thespian wannabe Mr. Pricklepants, and the way the script builds humor by mocking the conventions of the horror genre.
If you fear the audience at your house may not be old enough to appreciate the main feature, then you might want to check out some of the bonus extras included with the home video release of Toy Story of Terror. The most entertaining of these will be three short films: Hawaiian Vacation, Small Fry, and Partysaurus Rex. These also star the Toy Story characters and show them helping Barbie and Ken enjoy a tropical holiday, participating in a group therapy session for discarded trinkets given away in kid's fast food meals, and making a big splash (especially the usually timid Rex) at a bathtime bash.Directed by Angus MacLane. Starring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack. Running time: 22 minutes. Updated August 20, 2014

What stereotypical horror movie images and plot devices did you notice in this story? Does it help to defuse the tension of the script by analyzing them? Why do you think some people are attracted to films that are intended to make them scared?

Achievement-Gaps Goal: Improving or Closing?
To the Editor:
A major point missing from your May 3, 2006, In Perspective on Ruby K. Payne, "Payne's Pursuit," is also missing from national reform proposals and policies directed toward closing the achievement gap, including the federal No Child Left Behind Act. The education community has failed to make a clear distinction between what is required to improve achievement, such as strategies, materials, and programs, and what is required to close achievement gaps—systems change, supported by an integrated knowledge base defining learning in varied contexts. Without a major shift in their understanding of the nature of the achievement gaps that exist among socioeconomic, racial, and cultural groups, educators will continue to seek and be satisfied with isolated strategies and entertaining speakers.
Though Ms. Payne's theory of "hidden rules" of economic class does offer some valid strategies supported by evidence from anthropology, as well as an understanding of the impact of cultural environments on learning, she doesn't distinguish between poverty factors and cultural factors. Current federal policy does not address these issues and only narrowly defines scientific evidence as "statistical significance."
The question then is not whether what Ms. Payne offers, or even the No Child Left Behind law itself, is right or wrong. It is whether either one includes all that is required even to have an adequate impact on achievement gaps. Taking aspirin, drinking lots of fluids, and getting rest is right for treating the symptoms of a cold, but if you have pneumonia, it isn't right enough.

Re: Who would win in real life?
The four ultimate characters in this game are as follows" Heihachi, Kratos, Nariko, and Dante...everyone else holds no contest and is no threat.
1. Kratos would kill everyone, we all know it, enough said.
2. Dante would be second place after being finally beheaded and obliterated by The God Of War.
3. Heihachi, being one of the most powerful warriors just under Akuma (SSF4) would come 3rd after being shown who is the true demon by the Jr. Son Of Sparda (Dante).
4. Nariko would be killed first, more than likely by Kratos. Nariko goes Divine and Kratos pulls out the one sword that kills all and ends her misery. (Blade Of Olympus)

Model Highlights Some Viral Weak Points Of Flu Viruses
The report, which appeared online in Science Express, focuses on influenza's ribonucleoprotein (RNP). RNPs contain the virus's genetic material plus the special enzyme that the virus needs to make copies of itself.
"Structural studies in this area had stalled because of the technical obstacles involved, and so this is a welcome advance," said Ian A. Wilson, the Hansen Professor of Structural Biology at TSRI and senior author of the report with TSRI Professors of Cell Biology Bridget Carragher and Clint Potter. "The data from this study give us a much clearer picture of the flu virus replication machinery."
Unveiling the Mystery of RNPs
At the core of any influenza virus lie eight RNPs, tiny molecular machines that are vital to the virus's ability to survive and spread in its hosts. Each RNP contains a segment - usually a single protein-coding gene - of the RNA-based viral genome. This viral RNA segment is coated with protective viral nucleoproteins and has a structure that resembles a twisted loop of chain. The free ends of this twisted loop are held by a flu-virus polymerase enzyme, which handles the two central tasks of viral reproduction: making new viral genomic RNA, and making the RNA gene-transcripts that will become new viral proteins.
Aside from its importance in ordinary infections, the flu polymerase contains some of the key "species barriers" that keep, for example, avian flu viruses from infecting mammals. Mutations at key points on the enzyme have enabled the virus to infect new species in the past. Thus researchers are eager to know the precise details of how the flu polymerase and the rest of the RNP interact.
Getting those details has been a real challenge. One reason is that flu RNPs are complex assemblies that are hard to produce efficiently in the lab. Flu polymerase genes are particularly resistant to being expressed in test cells, and their protein products exist in three separate pieces, or subunits, that have to somehow self-assemble. Until now, the only flu RNPs that have been reproduced in the laboratory are shortened versions whose structures aren't quite the same as those of native flu RNPs. Researchers also are limited in how much virus they can use for such studies.
The team nevertheless managed to develop a test-cell expression system that produced all of the protein and RNA components needed to make full-length flu RNPs. "We were able to get the cells to assemble these components properly so that we had working, self-replicating RNPs," said Robert N. Kirchdoerfer, a first author of the study. Kirchdoerfer was a PhD candidate in the Wilson laboratory during the study, and is now a postdoctoral research associate in the laboratory of TSRI Professor Erica Ollmann Saphire.
Kirchdoerfer eventually purified enough of these flu RNPs for electron microscope analysis at TSRI's Automated Molecular Imaging Group, which is run jointly by Carragher and Potter.
Never Seen Before
The imaging group's innovations enable researchers to analyze molecular samples more easily, in less time, and often with less starting material. "We were able, for example, to automatically collect data for several days in a row, which is unusual in electron microscopy work," said Arne Moeller, a postdoctoral research associate at the imaging group who was the other first author of the study.
Electron microscopes make high-resolution images of their tiny targets by hitting them with electrons rather than photons of light. The images revealed numerous well-defined RNP complexes. To Moeller and his colleagues' surprise, many of these appeared to have new, partial RNPs growing out of them. "They were branching - this was very exciting," he said.
"Essentially these were snapshots of flu RNPs being replicated, which had never been seen before," said Kirchdoerfer. These and other data, built up from images of tens of thousands of individual RNPs, allowed the team to put together the most complete model yet for flu-RNP structure and functions. The model includes details of how the viral polymerase binds to its RNA, how it accomplishes the tricky task of viral gene transcription, and how a separate copy of the viral polymerase assists in carrying out RNP replication. "We're now able to take a lot of what we knew before about flu virus RNP and map it onto specific parts of the RNP structure," said Kirchdoerfer.
The new flu RNP model highlights some viral weak points. One is a shape-change that a polymerase subunit - which grabs viral RNA and feeds it to the polymerase's active site on a second subunit - has to undergo during viral gene transcription. Another is key interaction between the polymerase and viral nucleoproteins. Flu RNPs are long and flexible, curving and bending in electron microscope images; and thus the structural model remains only modestly fine-grained. "You wouldn't be able to design drugs based on this model alone," said Kirchdoerfer, "but we now have a much better idea of how flu RNPs work, and that does suggest some possibilities for better flu drugs."
The study, "Organization of the Influenza Virus Replication Machinery," was funded in part by grants from the National Institutes of Health (AI058113, GM095573) and the Joint Center for Innovation in Membrane Protein Production for Structure Determination (P50GM073197). TSRI's Automated Molecular Imaging Group includes the National Resource for Automated Molecular Microscopy, which is supported by the National Institutes of Health's National Center for Research Resources (2P41RR017573-11) and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences Biomedical Technology Resource Centers (9 P41 GM103310-11).

This school brings what a true martial arts school should be to the Springs. The Springs is overrun with "martial arts gyms" full of people who don't know what the true meaning on martial arts is. This school is lead by an amazing sensei who is there to lead and respect you; he sparks a sense of confidence in people that most people never feel. As a female it is always intimidating to join martial arts; but this school immediately treats you like family. No martial arts is easy, and adversely can cause injury, but this is a non judgmental environment that makes it easy to go at your own pace and stay within your physical and mental limitations. I have nothing but positive things to say about the sensei and students. If you want to be respected and treated like family, I suggest going to this school.

Next stop on the Southern BBQ Trail: ARKANSAS.
Craig's and McLard's are the icons of Arkansas 'cue. We collected those stories. But we also have an interview with Barry Vaughan of J & N Barbecue in Bono. Barry's grandparents, Jim and Nora Vaughan, opened the place in 1996, but they had a side business smoking meats for community gatherings for years. Barry does most of the barbecuing these days, smoking everything from ribs to butts. He also smokes wild game—turkey, deer, and even raccoons—for local hunters. Jim and Nora have attended "coon suppers" all their lives, so it wasn't long before smoked raccoon became a J & N tradition. About his grandparents, Barry says, "This is all they do. They eat and live barbecue. They're here six days a week from 7:00 to 7:00, so there ain't much life other than barbecue for them."
Meet the Vaughan family of J & N Barbecue:

About MeI am 21 years old. I have a full time job right now, but modeling has always been something I wanted to do. Now that I'm 21 I can get myself out there and begin to do something I love. Hopefully this site will help me do exactly that.
I also have been riding horses since I was 5. I was a cheerleader for 12 years and just recently stopped when graduating high school. When losing cheerleading, i realized it is time for me to do something else I love, modeling.
I am just now beginning to build my portfolio and am open to anyone who want to help me do that. I'm open to new things and love to be different and playful in front of the camera. Starting this portfolio had made me so happy and I Definatly don't want it to end.
I dont do nude shoots!!!! So please don't ask, it's just not my style. I am into glamor and fashion instead.
If you do want to shoot together or shoot me please give me details in the message and references i can call to reassure your credibility. As much information as you can give me is always appriciated.
Just FYI, I have 5 tattoos. Two are right next to each other and pretty small. They are on my right hip. The other is also only medium size but is on my left back hip, yeah my butt. My biggest one is underneath my left bust, it says "never loose hope" Last one is on my right foot and it is a small heart. They can easily be covered up or let shown too.
Hope you enjoy :)
Leave me a message if you want to work together.

Sex Headache: Dealing With Head Pain Before, During Or After Sex
You might pass on sex because of a headache, but have you heard of sex causing one? It's not commonly known, but it is possible.
Sexual headaches are headaches that occur when you have sex: before or during, just after, or when you orgasm. The pain can vary from dull to sharp, though it's generally felt in the back of the head or on one side. And understandably, they can be a terrible thing to experience during a pleasurable time.
"The largest study on sex and headaches thus far has been through Germany's University of Munster," says sex therapist Vanessa Marin. "Sixty per cent of migraine sufferers reported that sex alleviated their headaches, while 33 per cent reported that the orgasm had worsened their headache."
And while more research needs to be done on sexual headaches in general, understanding what one feels like can be the best way to get help. From what causes them to how to prevent them, here's how you can enjoy your bedroom time pain-free.
Sexual headaches are headaches that aren't caused by a specific medical condition, and happen around sex. They can happen at different times during sexual activity, with different intensities, and in different parts of the head.
You might hear sexual headaches referred to by a variety of names: headaches with sexual activity, orgasmic thunderclap, orgasmic migraines, coital headaches, coital cephalgia, or orgasmic cephalgia.
There are three classifications for headaches with sexual activity (HSAs) or sexual headaches, according to the International Headache Society. Type I HSAs are usually felt across the head and are pre-orgasmic — the pressure builds as your sexual excitement does. And Type II HSAs are more sudden or severe and happen with or near orgasm.
They can be triggered by any sexual activity that can lead to orgasm, according to the Mayo Clinic. Some medications can make HSAs more likely, including marijuana, birth control pills, pseudoephedrine, and Amiodarone. "As is the case with headaches as a whole, there isn't a great understanding of what causes them or how to prevent them," says sex therapist Vanessa Marin. "Sex can be a rather fun treatment in mild cases, but anyone who has persistent, intense headaches should seek out a headache specialist."
Sexual headaches are usually more unpleasant than anything, but sometimes they can be a sign of something more serious. For example, in men they can be a sign of low testosterone, according to Dr. Laura Berman. They could also be an indication of an aneurysm, bleeding in the brain, or stroke. That's why it's important to see a doctor when you experience a sexual headache for the first time.
These headaches can vary in intensity, from dull to sharp and stabbing. Those that occur with orgasm can feel more intense. Some people have a combination of the two, according to the Mayo Clinic. The headaches can last from a few minutes to hours or even days.
They can happen at any point during sex: before, during, after, with or without orgasm. Some people may experience them often, while for others sexual headaches are fortunately rare or a one-time occurrence. Others might never get them at all.
Both men and women can get sexual headaches, though they appear to be more common in men. They occur in more than one in 100 people. It appears that you may be more likely to get them if you suffer from migraines, tension headaches, or exertion headaches.
Try a painkiller like an NSAID or beta-blocker, the Mayo Clinic notes, or talk to your doctor about the best timing to take them in order to prevent headaches.
Some people find using an NSAID like ibuprofen or a beta-blocker helpful in preventing sexual headaches. Taking a less active role during sex sometimes may help. And while it's frustrating, sometimes waiting it out helps — some people experience sex headaches in clusters for a few weeks or months, and then they go away.
For some people, sexual headaches may be triggered by poor breathing during sex — you could be holding your breath without realizing it, and that could be related to headaches. "If someone has the habit of not only holding their breath but applying pressure to the closed airway, the result is a Valsalva maneuver," says sex and relationship therapists Patricia Johnson and Mark Michaels. "Holding the breath creates pressure in the chest, increases the outflow of blood, and slows the heart rate. This constricts the blood vessels in the brain and causes a drop in blood pressure." As your breathing becomes normal again, the blood could rush back to your brain and lead to headache, they say. Try being conscious of your breath during sex and making sure that you're not holding it.
If you ever have a headache you could describe as your "worst ever," you should see a doctor. The same goes for a first sexual headache, in order to rule out any other underlying causes. And finally, see a doctor if you get a headache with symptoms like vomiting, stiff neck, confusion, or reduced coordination.

The Detroit Pistons are an NBA franchise based out of Auburn Hills, Michigan that plays in the Eastern Conference's Center Division. The team was originally founded as the Fort Wayne Pistons of the National Basketball League before moving to the Motor City in 1957. Today, the team plays their home games at the Palace of Auburn Hills, one of the most iconic arenas in all of professional basketball.
The Pistons have undoubtedly been one of the most successful teams in the NBA throughout the past 25 years. Detroit is home to the legendary Bad Boys dynasty of the late 80's and early 90's. It was this team composed of players like Isiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer, and Dennis Rodman that adapted a powerful bully-esque style of play that pro basketball had never seen before. The Bad Boys took home back-to-back NBA titles in 1989 and 1990. Detroit also dominated the 2000's, fielding one of the most well-rounded NBA Championship teams ever with their 2004 squad of Ben Wallace, Chauncey Billups, and Rip Hamilton. Today, the Pistons have re-built their franchise to return to basketball greatness with superstars like Ish Smith, Andre Drummond, and Reggie Jackson.

Posted on 03/16/2012 7:06:59 PM PDT by Steve Peacock
The U.S. government is embarking upon, and partly financing, a series of groundwater remediation initiatives in China -- despite the fact that China already plans to pump (USD) $5.5 billion of its own money into such actions through 2020.
According to a Scope of Work (SOW) that U.S. Trade & Aid Monitor has located, the U.S. Trade & Development Agency (USTDA) initially will fund what is known as a "definitional mission," or DM, to China (#RFQ-CO201261140). The agency will outsource this preliminary endeavor to a private contractor, who would then travel to Beijing and two other cities that the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) has identified as "priority locations for groundwater and soil remediation projects," the SOW says.
The document points out that the China MEP requested U.S. assistance because it "recognized U.S. experience and technology leadership in this sector." It also attempts to justify this transfer of funds from the U.S. Treasury to U.S. contractors on the grounds that:
While U.S. companies are among the leaders in these technologies, significant competition exists from Canadian, European and Japanese firms, most of which are focusing their efforts on the Chinese market.
Following the DM, the selected contractor will provide a Final Report to USTDA assessing and justifying whether the agency should fund subsequent groundwater- and soil remediation-related Feasibility Studies or Technical Assistance packages.
Programs identified for additional funding would enable USTDA to "build on success of the 2010 USTDA-funded U.S. China water Quality Cooperation Program that provided 12 workshops and seminars for China's environmental leaders on multiple water quality topics."
A search of the FedBizOpps contracting database shows that the agency in 2009 awarded a $450,000 contract (Award #CO-2009310004) to Scranton Gillette Communications, Inc.. of Arlington Heights, IL, to conduct those workshops and seminars.
What a relief to know a use was finally found for part of this worrisome budget surplus !
I cannot tell you what bad signal of posturing and weakness this sends. China holds more than a trillion USD of our public debt. The government chooses to spend its money elsewhere and every penny of our current budget deficit we make up by either borrowing or inflating.
To paraphrase Rick Santelli: STOP SPENDING, STOP SPENDING, STOP SPENDING!
I'm aware that some folks may argue that such a small investment may help boost U.S. exports; however, one question remains: Should the tax dollars of working men and women — from dishwashers to doctors, construction workers and cosmetic technicians — be compelled to finance such ventures, with no return on their "investment"?
Make the ChiComs pay by the drop.
What a bunch of clowns that are in charge.
We stopped being a serious country some decades ago.
Bad things happen to countries that stop being serious.
These things will be deserved.
No tickie, no washie water.
This is the right thing to do because if left in the hands of those who produced it, that money might be used to continue the outdated notion of self reliance and some people may use it to pursue happiness and we can't have that.
I forgot to add that I wonder how much the "contractors" contributed to the Democrats, or is it the Republicans? I'm starting to have a hard time telling them apart.
Wait...ok....so..... We borrow some money from China,
then give it to them for 'groundwater cleanup'
(hah!), THEN, we pay them back what we borrowed
(to give to them) with interest....
So the Chinese are getting 200%+ ROI....
After all, China is broke.
Idiots are in charge of our country. Idiots.
That's rather short sighted of you. The return they get is that the Earth is being saved, one acre at a time. Who could ask for more? /sarc

Ah, dairy. As you stroll down the grocery store aisles, you're hard-pressed to find something that doesn't contain milk products. Unfortunately for breastfeeding moms with dairy-based diets, cow's milk is the most common allergen affecting infants. What are some of the signs and symptoms? How do you deal with a baby who is milk allergic or intolerant? Let's start with the good news...It does not mean that you have to give up breastfeeding. Here is everything you need to know from diagnosis to making the transition from dairy-laden to dairy-free.

What is it about cow's milk that is so allergenic?

Certain proteins in cow's milk have high allergic potential. Lactoglobulin, casein, bovine serum albumin, and lactalbumin act as allergens. Before the age of six to nine months, the lining of the intestines is absorbent to proteins, so a baby with this allergy will respond quickly. In addition, at this stage, the baby's secretory IgA, which essentially coats the intestinal lining and binds sensitizing proteins to itself, is not fully functioning yet.

What are some symptoms of cow's milk allergy?

Babies with this allergy typically show signs of gastrointestinal distress. Vomiting, diarrhea, colic and bloody stool are some symptoms. Many mothers will describe their baby as "screaming all day" or "pulling up their legs in pain." Even when gas is passed or the baby stools, the pain remains. It is also possible that the baby will display respiratory problems such as a runny nose, cough, or wheezing. Others may notice skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis or urticaria. If your baby has any of the above, keep a journal of the appearance of symptoms to discuss with your pediatrician, pediatric allergist, or pediatric gastroenterologist, as a diagnosis may be difficult to ascertain with such varied signs.

I want to continue breastfeeding. How should I handle this?

Even though it may seem against the grain, breastfeeding is still the best source of nutrition for your baby. Speak with your pediatrician or pediatric allergist about eliminating foods from your diet. It will take some work on your part. But once you figure out your new "system," your baby will respond well. Keep in mind that clearing this protein out of your body and the baby's will take about a week to 10 days, so be patient and know that happy days are coming. It is also important to note that the baby will respond negatively to the tiniest amount of milk protein. So if your diet has been dairy-free for many days, but you just indulged in one Godiva truffle ("Come on! It was the smallest thing I've ever seen!"), your little one will most probably suffer the consequences later.

Here is your non-shopping list:

Acidophilus milk

Casein

Caseinate

Curds

Galactose

Ghee

Lactalbumin

Lactate

Lactic acid

Lactoglobulin

Lactose

Malted milk

Nougat

Potassium caseinate

Rennet

Sodium caseinate

Whey

Watch out for that fine print!

Be aware that foods containing "artificial butter flavor," "caramel color", "non-dairy substitutes" (believe it or not, they often contain dairy!), or anything that doesn't describe what "flavorings" or "seasonings" means, may contain milk. In addition, milk may be hiding out in canned fish (such as tuna), many processed meats, and deli meats, nutritional supplements, and medications.

It is critical that you see your pediatrician or a pediatric allergist as soon as possible if your baby is displaying any symptoms listed above. The sooner you both eliminate the allergen from your diets, the happier you'll both be.

I moved to Arizona and moved to a home without a garage. I had purchased a $40 car cover and it was eaten by the sun within a month. I have had this cover for about a month now and am very pleased. It keeps the car cool and clean and it is very easy on and off. The wind doesn't blow it off and the fabric appears to be withstanding the Ariona sun. I think I made a great purchase. Oh yes, the sand color is great. The car is totally camoflouged when looking at my home.

Here are some general test shots to help evaluate the camera's overall image quality, including dynamic range, colour rendition and the zoom range of the lens. Some pictures may be clicked to download the full size original image.
The wide angle end of the zoom range is equivalent to 36mm, about average for a standard 3x zoom compact.
Note the lack of contrast in this telephoto shot from the same location. Telephoto focal length is equivalent to 108mm. Please try to ignore the person smoking a cigarette in this photo, since it's probably illegal to show such terrifying scenes on a public website.
Colour reproduction and white balance are none to brilliant either, although it defence it was a slightly overcast day.
The autofocus system is fast enough for spur-of-the-moment snapshots like this one.

Hmmm, neat little camera yes. I bought this for my daughter to use, it is Simple and Easy to use. Great Pics! Has software CD and USB cord for uploading pictures. Fantastic! The battery "is re-chargeable", comes with a handy little charger base, separate from the camera that plugs into the wall! I guess so you can charge your battery separately while uploading the pictures to the computer...
... I figured this out the hard way when I learned the camera WONT charge the Battery "while connected to the computer". I am so bummed now. I just assumed it could be recharged by being connected to the computer!(just like most all other computer electronics)
Oh well.

🔼The name Martha in the Bible
Martha of Bethany is the sister of Lazarus and Mary and a personal friend of Jesus (Luke 10:38, John 11:1).
🔼Etymology of the name Martha
The name Martha comes from the verb מרר (marar), meaning to be bitter:
By the time Israel spoke Aramaic, the root מרר (marar), or rather the truncation מר (mar), had fallen apart into several separated groups of words. And there were some other words that had yielded derivations that were indistinguishable from mar. Marcus Jastrow's Dictionary of the Targumim, the talmud Babli and Yerushalmi, and the Midrashic Literature lists the following:
- מר (mar) means myrrh (a bitter herb) and pronounced slightly different from the following five identical words.
- מר (mar I) means to speak or say. This word comes from the verb אמר (amar), meaning to speak.
- מר (mar II), meaning bitter.
- מר (mar III), meaning to exchange, probably from מור (mwr).
- מר (mar IV), meaning to be strong. This word slowly became an authoritative title, meaning boss, lord or master, and went on to denote the owner and master of a house.
The latter version of the word מר made feminine forms the word מרת (mrt), which is pronounced marta. This is the Aramaic form of the Greek name Martha.
🔼Martha meaning
The name Martha means Lady Boss, Mistress, Land Lady. The two sisters Maria and Martha quite obviously represent Israel's general cultural leaning (with brother Lazarus playing the part of Israel's long suffering priestly tradition). The two names Maria and Martha are very closely related in an etymological sense, yet Maria is a Hellenized version of the original Hebrew name Miriam (the sister of Moses), whereas Martha is the Hellenized version of its Aramaic counterpart.
The mini-series of Bethany stories form a small novel that discusses Israel's cultural evolution from Egypt to Hebrew to Aramaic, finally viewed through Greek's wide but distorting lens: Maria mostly attends Jesus' words whereas Martha is mostly concerned with sweeping the floor.

The current Rangers boss will be in the dugout for Wednesday's Champions League meeting with Porto.
While he could still survive at least until the start of December, there had been contact with Le Guen's agent.
But it is believed that Le Guen will be joining another club at the end of the season, with Real Madrid favourites.
Sources in France suggest that the Frenchman has been lined up as the successor to Wanderley Luxemburgo should the Brazilian leave the Spanish giants.
Rangers chairman David Murray had targeted Le Guen as his favoured choice.
Murray last week gave McLeish until the start of December to turn around a disappointing start to the season.
But that was followed by a 3-0 defeat by SPL leaders Celtic that left the reigning champions 15 points adrift in the Scottish Premier League.
McLeish could save Rangers' season - and his own job - with victory in Portugal as the Glasgow club attempt to qualify from the group stages of the Champions League.
But Murray has made it clear that he is making contingency plans and Le Guen emerged as his favoured option ahead of the much-touted Charlton Athletic manager, Alan Curbishley.
Le Guen admitted on French television that he knew Rangers were looking for a coach but would not be drawn further on the matter.
Agent Frederic Guerra said: "I cannot say anything. Like doctors, we have professional confidentiality.
"I cannot say that he will not be the next manager of Rangers, but neither can I say that he will be the next manager of Rangers.
"The situation at the moment is Paul now works for television, but who knows what is around the corner?
"He wants to return to coaching, but I cannot say when at this moment in time.
"It is also possible he could return to coaching in Scotland, but there are many possibilities.
"He could go to Rangers, Locomotiv Moscow or elsewhere. I just don't know."
The 44-year-old Le Guen, who guided Lyon to three straight titles, has rejected several offers from clubs around Europe, saying he intends remaining a French television football pundit until the end of the season.
He had quit as Lyon coach in Lyon in May, despite having been offered a three-year contract extension.
Le Guen previously coached Stade Rennes between 1998 and 2001, joining Lyon after the club had claimed the first title in their history in 2002.

Batman: Arkham Origins verschijnt op de Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC en Wii U.
De releasedatum is 25 oktober.
In het Engelse gamemagazine Gamemaster staan weer wat nieuwe details en screenshots van Batman: Arkham Origins. De game is een prequel van Arkham Asylum en Arkham City. Het verhaal speelt zich af op kerstavond. Op deze avond komen de acht dodelijkste moordenaars naar Gotham City om Batman uit te schakelen. Zoals je op het plaatje hieronder ziet is Deathstroke één van de moordenaars.
Naast een console en PC versie verschijnt er ook nog een Batman game naar de 3DS en Vita genaamd Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate. Origins Blackgate wordt niet door Warner Bros. Montreal gemaakt maar door Armature Studios en de game speel je in 2.5-D perspectief.
Batman: Arkham Origins details.
– Batman: Arkham Origins is the story behind "how the unrefined, rough-around-the-edges, early career Batman" becomes Dark Knight
– Batman and Captain Gordon meet for the first time during the events of Arkham Origins
– Senior producer Ben Mattes says there are elements to the story that they will never discuss before the game has shipped
– Batman in Arkham Origins has the moves and the abilities, but hasn't faced the challenges that shape him into the Batman we know. Arkham City Batman is described as Batman 5.0, while Arkham Origins Batman is 0.9.
– It's "year two" of Batman's career, roughly speaking
– WB Montreal has been given everything Rocksteady had, from engine tweaks to concept art.
– It plays exactly like Arkham City
– At one point the HUD included a storm indicator. Since Origins takes place during a snowstorm, it provided warning of incoming wind blasts. However, it negatively impacted the freeflow combat as "enemies stand around waiting for you to punch them" and "you're swinging wildly because you don't know where they are." The feature was cut.
– Another cut feature is the enemy quad-rotor drone which would patrol rooms in search of Bats. The drone "broke the richness of the predator room, which is in giving the player the power to play the way they want."
– Detective mode has been overhauled, as has the gadget upgrade progression tree.
– Goons will be able to "take advantage of the verticality" of New Gotham
– Legends of the Dark Knight was the "single most inspirational piece of media"

text: DULUTH, Ga., Feb. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Merial, a world-leading animal health company, has gained full-licensure from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for ONCEPT™ Canine Melanoma Vaccine, DNA. ONCEPT is a breakthrough vaccine indicated for aiding in extending survival of dogs with stage II or stage III oral canine melanoma, a common yet deadly form of cancer in dogs. ONCEPT is the first and only USDA-approved, therapeutic vaccine for the treatment of cancer – in either animals or humans. Traditionally, dogs with stage II or stage III malignant melanoma survive less than five to six months when treated with surgery alone.(1) Clinical studies of ONCEPT demonstrated significantly longer life spans even in dogs with stage II or stage III of oral melanoma. In fact, median survival time of dogs treated with ONCEPT could not be determined because more than 50 percent of the treated dogs were still living melanoma-free at the conclusion of the study or died of unrelated illness.(2) Canine oral melanoma is a common type of cancer in dogs and is the most common malignant tumor of the dog's mouth. It can also be seen in the nail and footpad.(3) Canine melanoma may be seen in any breed and is a highly aggressive cancer that frequently spreads throughout the body, including the lymph nodes, liver, lungs and kidneys.(4) To date, the most common treatments for this form of cancer have been radiation and surgery to establish local tumor control. Canine oral melanoma, however, has a high propensity to metastasize to other parts of the body and is often resistant to chemotherapy.(2,3) "Canine melanoma spreads readily, and, unfortunately, existing treatments have not succeeded in controlling the disease," said Dr. Bob Menardi, a veterinarian and spokesperson for Merial. "ONCEPT is a new adjunct treatment option for dogs that have been diagnosed with this often fatal disease." The vaccine was developed through a partnership between Merial and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. While Memorial Sloan-Kettering was testing a human melanoma vaccine, they received an inquiry from Dr. Philip Bergman – who at the time was with Animal Medical Center, and currently with Brightheart Veterinary Center – seeking novel treatments for canine melanoma. The discussions resulted in clinical trials of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering melanoma vaccine, and subsequent parallel trials by Dr. Bergman and Memorial Sloan-Kettering refined the dosage and protocol to the current therapeutic regimen for dogs. Dr. Bergman completed the initial clinical work on ONCEPT at Animal Medical Center in New York. "We're very excited about continuing research into this vaccine to explore the potential implications it has for humans. We hope this will result in improved cancer treatment for all," explained Jedd D. Wolchok, MD, PhD, a medical oncologist who specializes in immunotherapy on the Melanoma and Sarcoma Service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering and also Associate Director of the Ludwig Center for Cancer Immunotherapy. The USDA issued a conditional U.S. Veterinary Biological Product License for ONCEPT in 2007. During the period of conditional licensure, ONCEPT was available to veterinary oncologists as Merial conducted additional research to further support the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.

Hi all,
my baby wants to stand up all the time. I understand she gets very exciting standing up and looking at the world with a different perspective. Everyday we spent some time like this. She stands up pulling the furniture and enjoys it quite a lot. Then, when we finally get tired and put her to sit down, she gets frustrated. She is not interested in crawling at all, begins to fuss when she lies on her tummy more than 5 minutes. Maybe she'll be one of those who skip crawling.
Now, my worry is if it's good for her development to stand up as she demands?
It's also quite tiring for us, obviously you can't do anything while you're controlling her. Also I don't want to buy a walker, because they are not recommended for their natural development.
Should we encourage her to spend more tummy time?
What you do with a baby like this?Any suggestions?
mom to 3 home-born children, wife to a great guy

... largely Italian culturally but part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the end of WWI, then part of Italy through WWII, and then part of Yugoslavia until its breakup in the early 1990s. Most of the Italian population left the region after WWII, but from the sound of things the Austrians and Italians have all returned as tourists. And I can see why. Of all the coastal Istrian towns I saw I found Piran to be the ...

... to mind. Eventually we shake them off, but think that if they aren't chaperoned, that they could get up to all sorts of business. We get up to the castle but it's a bit of an anti climax. The views are good though. On the way down, we bump into the odd Sam's Bar couple, but now she has the camera. Once again the poses are rather odd, so me make our escape.

The original itinerary included a visit to the coastal towns of Piran and Portoroz. Unfortunately, the day tour to these centres did not operate on the day I wanted so I had to make alternative arrangements using public transport.

Treasuries Rise First Time in 4 Days Amid Emerging-Market RoutSusanne Walker and Cordell Eddings
Treasuries rose for the first time in four days on speculation a withdrawal of stimulus by the Federal Reserve may hurt weakening emerging economies, stoking demand for the safety of U.S. government debt.
Ten-year benchmark yields dropped from the highest level in more than two years after a technical indicator used by some traders suggested a reversal was imminent. Emerging-market stocks fell the most in six weeks as Indonesian shares extended a slump and currencies from Thailand to India weakened on concern capital outflows will accelerate.
"There's been a lot of rumblings in the emerging space -- concerns for tapering and the impact there," said Sean Murphy, a trader at Societe Generale SA in New York, one of the 21 primary dealers that trade with the U.S. central bank. "We have seen money go to work on the pullback."
The U.S. 10-year yield fell seven basis points, or 0.07 percentage point, to 2.81 percent at 5 p.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The 2.5 percent benchmark note due in August 2023 rose 18/32, or $5.63 per $1,000 face amount, to 97 9/32. The yield climbed to 2.90 percent yesterday, the highest level since July 2011.
Yields have jumped more than 20 basis points this month on speculation the U.S. economy is strong enough to prompt the central bank to slow stimulus as soon as its September meeting. The Fed publishes minutes of its July meeting tomorrow. Investors withdrew $8.4 billion from emerging-market exchange-traded funds this year amid a selloff.
Jackson Hole
Central bankers and policy makers will gather Aug. 22 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to discuss the global economy and monetary policy.
Treasuries have lost investors 3.8 percent as of yesterday, according to Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bond Index. The securities returned 2.2 percent in 2012.
"We've sold off so much of late that value buyers are coming in," said Matthew Duch, a fund manager in Bethesda, Maryland, at Calvert Investments, which oversees more than $12 billion in assets. "The Fed minutes could be telling and give the market direction."
The Fed's first step may be to reduce debt purchases next month by $10 billion to a $75 billion pace, according to a Bloomberg survey concluded last week.
Fed policy makers led by Chairman Ben S. Bernanke are contemplating how to end a third round of quantitative easing that has swelled the Fed's balance sheet to a record $3.65 trillion. The central bank will end purchases in mid-2014, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 48 economists conducted Aug. 9-13. The Fed next meets Sept. 17-18.
The Fed purchased $942 million in securities maturing from November 2024 to February 2031.
Relative Strength
An indicator of momentum used by some dealers signaled that Treasuries are oversold. The 14-day relative-strength index for the 10-year yield rose above the 70 threshold yesterday that indicates it has climbed too much. The last time it exceeded that level was July 5, which was followed by a two-week rally.
'The only way you get lower yields is if the Fed comes out and delays taper for months, but the Fed isn't going to do that," said Jim Bianco, president of Bianco Research LLC in Chicago.
The 10-year rate will end the year at 2.71 percent, according to a Bloomberg survey of 66 analysts with the most recent forecasts given the heaviest weighting. The yield will rise to 3 percent in the second quarter of next year, a separate survey shows.
The Fed has kept its target for overnight lending between banks in a range of zero to 0.25 percent since December 2008. Investors see a 53 percent chance policy makers will raise the so-called federal funds rate to 0.5 percent or more by January 2015, data compiled by Bloomberg from futures show.
Jobless Rate
Policy makers repeated in a July statement that the current range will be appropriate for at least as long as the unemployment rate is above 6.5 percent and inflation between one and two years ahead is projected to be no more than a half percentage point above the bank's 2 percent target.
The jobless rate was 7.4 percent as of July. The Fed's preferred inflation gauge showed prices rising 1.3 percent in the 12 months through June.
"The reality is most are waiting for payroll confirmation that tapering will begin," said Murphy of Societe Generale in New York. "Plus-200,000 should confirm that the Fed has plenty of room to begin paring back on their purchases."
Volatility as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate MOVE Index increased to 99.48 yesterday, the most since July 9, before slipping today to 95.70. The average for 2013 is 68.15.

Now, Arafat Has To Deliver The Milk And Honey
The peaceful and enthusiastic Palestinian election of Jan. 21 was yet another sign that after a rough beginning, progress toward Palestinian self-rule is moving along better than many analysts expected. Voter turnout of almost 70% in the West Bank and close to 90% in Gaza amounts to an impressive endorsement of the peace process--even though some candidates were critical of the series of deals that have been struck in the last two years between the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel.
The election may set the stage for the economic rebound needed to further stabilize the Palestinian areas. The beginnings of such a trend are already there. Although figures are sketchy, the Palestinian economies probably reached double-digit growth in each of the last two years. A construction miniboom has created 30,000 jobs in Gaza alone, by some estimates. Now it's up to newly elected Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat to preserve and accelerate the momentum.
INVESTORS WELCOME. The hope among Palestinians, Israelis, and American negotiators is that the elections will help create a more stable, legitimate government than the ad hoc affair that Arafat has run since 1994. That shift is, in turn, intended to convince wealthy Palestinian expatriates and foreign investors that the Palestinian areas are a reasonably safe bet for projects. "We have hundreds of millionaires who want to come but are still waiting because of the uncertainty," says Samir Abdullah, a former Palestinian Authority economic official.
One question is whether Arafat will be able to tolerate criticism from the 88-member Palestinian Council, whose role is still largely undefined. Although Arafat's Fatah faction will likely gain two-thirds of the seats, voters rejected many of his hand-picked candidates including Zakaria al-Agha, a prominent Gazan who served as Housing Minister in the outgoing Palestinian administration. "Arafat will not have an easy time as he will be faced with different views on many issues even within Fatah," says Samir Houlele, an official in the Palestinian Economy & Trade Ministry.
But perhaps a more crucial problem is management of the economy. Arafat is still slowing down development by reserving too many decisions for himself. One result is that only $85 million of the $2.3 billion in international aid pledged to help cement the Palestinian-Israeli peace has been spent on development, according to a recent study. An additional $130 million has gone to cover the Palestinian Authority's budget deficit. Turf fights between economic chiefs--Planning & International Cooperation Minister Nabil Shaath and Economy Minister Ahmed Qorei (Abu Alaa)--have delayed bringing AT&T and other interested multinationals in to help lay down infrastructure, reports a U.S. diplomat.
The Palestinians say they plan to greatly accelerate development spending this year, with $500 million going to infrastructure projects, including a port and airport in Gaza. The European Community recently promised an additional $865 million in aid for development projects.
FEW MARKETS. Arafat will be under pressure to persuade Israel to honor its commitments on greater access to the Israeli market for Palestinian agricultural goods and other products. It is also important for Israel to admit more than the present 50,000 Palestinian workers to help ease the unemployment that is estimated at 50% in Gaza and 35% in the West Bank. Palestinian entrepreneurs say that as things stand, Israelis are getting the best of the economic relationship. For example, they say that 70% of the building materials used in the territories come from Israel. And the powerful Israeli agricultural lobby is keeping such Palestinian products as tomatoes and cucumbers out.
Still, some Palestinians already are seeing a big change in business conditions. Yehya Kadamani, who directs the Bank of Jordan's operations in the West Bank and Gaza, reports that his bank and the 11 others in the territories have taken in more than $1 billion in deposits locally. The Jordanian bank heads an Arab group that has bought 250 acres of West Bank land near Jenin--not far from the so-called Green Line with Israel. Cigarette and aluminum factories are planned at the site. The Bank of Jordan also has set up a $50 million investment company with two other banks. While such steps are small, they are far more auspicious than the rock-throwing and constant strikes of the recent past.

Specialist lawyers reject Beecroft 'sack on sight' report, branding it unbalanced
Such is the rate of employment law reform that the Employment Lawyers Association (ELA) Annual Conference last week included a session called, 'What next – repeal Magna Carta?'
Employment lawyers are open-mouthed at the latest addition to the reform programme, venture capitalist Adrian Beecroft's report into creating growth. The report, commissioned by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, includes proposals that would make it easier to sack workers and water down Tupe laws.
In the legal fraternity the consensus is that the report is out of balance.
"The Employment Tribunal has been good at striking a balance," explained Devereux Chambers' Andrew Burns. "Beecroft's come down on the side of employers."
DAC Beachcroft partner Rachel Dineley labelled the proposals "draconian", while Kingsley Napley partner Richard Fox, elected president of the ELA last week, added that the "ideas it's produced don't seem to be backed up by any corroborating evidence – it's not a balanced report".
The most controversial proposals, such as compensated no-fault dismissals and small business exemptions, are never likely to see the light of day, lawyers say. The Government has already said it will not consider no-fault dismissals. According to Dineley, even if they are implemented many employers would be resistant because "they do nothing to encourage good employment practice".
That said, dig deeper and the report contains some proposals that are considered more moderate.
According to Robert McCreath, a partner at employment boutique Archon, proposals to bring Tupe law into line with EU law would be welcomed by employers.
"Reducing the time for redundancy consultation may not be popular with unions," McCreath said, "but in my experience most employees don't want these things to be dragged out painfully."
The big question is whether trying to fix an economy by tinkering with workers' rights is the best approach. Many proposals are prohibited under EU law and some say new legislation would breed litigation. All this adds cost – hardly what business needs right now.
