Erik Lamela's disappointing start in the English Premier League could be over after just six months.
After making a £30 million (nearly $50 million) move from AS Roma to Tottenham last August, Lamela has struggled to settle in London, and is reportedly being chased by a number of clubs in Italy, including Juventus. The Serie A leaders are offering Tottenham reserve forward Mirko Vucinic in a trade for Lamela, according to Italian paper Gazzetta Dello Sport.
Tottenham are reportedly unwilling to loan Lamela out, but they may be more willing to complete a deal for the 21-year-old Argentine in either January or June. Lamela was one of seven signings that Andre Villas-Boas made this past summer, though he's made just nine Premier League appearances this season and 17 in all competitions. Lamela scored 15 goals in 33 games for Roma last season.
Here are some more stories to kick off your Thursday:
Starting or not with Real Madrid, Iker Casillas won't lose his place in the Spanish National Team.
With Casillas remaining the second option in goal for Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, it would be easy for Spain head coach Vicente Del Bosque to go for Victor Valdes, Pepe Reina, or David De Gea in net instead of Casillas. Instead, Del Bosque is backing the Spain and Real Madrid legend.
"He's active, he's training, and he playing in the Champions League," Del Bosque told Libertad FM in Spain. "I don't see a problem to call him up. Physically, he's fine."
As mentioned before, Casillas hasn't started a La Liga match since January 20 of last year, instead playing the cup matches, whether Copa Del Rey or Champions League. Casillas, who recently welcomed his first child this past week, has only played eight games in the 2013/2014 season.
Bayern Munich are stepping in to help out their fans in an unexpected way.
With Arsenal setting prices for their upcoming UEFA Champions League match at the Emirates Stadium at €75 ($102) for away supporters, Bayern have decided to subsidize the price of tickets for their fans. The German club have paid €90,000 ($122,490) of their own money to pay down the tickets, giving Bayern a 30 Euro price cut (€45).
"This is intended to represent a small thank you for the great support of the followers in the past calendar year 2013," a statement on Bayern's website read.
18,000 Bayern fans have applied for 2,974 tickets available.
Shinji Kagawa could be playing in Germany next season instead of with Manchester United.
The Japanese international is reportedly a target of former club Borussia Dortmund as they look to replace Robert Lewandowski for next season. Lewandowski signed a five-year contract with Bayern Munich last Saturday, leaving Dortmund for Munich on a free transfer.
In addition, with Ilkay Gundogan's contract nearing it's end (summer of 2015) and increased speculation of a move to Real Madrid, reports in Germany are speculating that Dortmund could go after Sami Khedira. Additional reports in England claim that Arsenal youngster Serge Gnabry is also on Jurgen Klopp's radar.
Barcelona winger Neymar returned to full training today after missing their Copa Del Rey match on Wednesday due to illness. (REPORT)
England will play Ecuador and Honduras in pre-World Cup friendly matches in Miami this summer before traveling to Brazil. (REPORT)
Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria won't be sanctioned for an inappropriate gesture he made when he was substituted last Monday. (REPORT)
On officially signing a three-year contract with AC Milan, Keisuke Honda believes that it was his destiny to join Milan. (REPORT)
15,000 fans attended an open training session at Napoli's Stadio San Paolo. (REPORT)
Italian club Parma are interested in signing Tigres UANL forward Alan Pulido, but Manchester United are reportedly eyeing the 22-year-old as well. (REPORT)
What do you think of these reports? Do you see Lamela leaving Tottenham so soon? Think that Casillas can be on form at the World Cup this summer? What do you think of Bayern's gesture?
Share your thoughts below.
Tottenham are reportedly unwilling to loan Lamela out, but they may be more willing to complete a deal for the 21-year-old Argentine in either January or June.
Could you elaborate on what this means? May be more willing to sell him outright despite the money spent? Unwilling but willing?
The Imperative Voice
Sounds to me like they'll sell but not lend. I've suggested this hard line for MLS stars before. You want Player X, who's shined brightly in MLS? For example, Montero. Pay the transfer fee and you can have him. A loan is a tentative transaction that allows the other party to CYA by paying a lesser loan fee and shorter commitment, deferring the decision. If the player is good enough the other team does not deserve a trial or a loan, you want it buy it.
Lamela has not played much for Spurs but did for Roma and River Plate. Young with theoretical upside.
Loan doesnt help, either give him time to settle in or just leave
midwest ref
It is interesting to me that both Lamela and Bradley were up and coming players for Roma last season (or during the past two seasons), and both are gone and moving on.
So England is probably booked for 2014 pre cup
Very few teams left for the March matchup
Time for a USSF friendly announcement!
how is this player worth 50 Million in transfer money and M. Bradley tops 6 Million?
Falls City Outlaw
Bradley's potential deal is about 10 million USD, but to your point, he's worth less on the market because he's American (as Bob Bradley told Roger Bennett). You could make the practical observation that Lamela is a few years younger than Bradley (thus, more miles to give) but I agree. The discrepancy is stupid, though.

This is for a friend, the strongest and bravest person I know.
The world, awash in golden sunlight
yet inside are darkened clouds.
A smile, fleeting and shy,
yet in your eyes I see fear.
"I'm fine." You say.
Even though no one truly is.
The courage and strength that I see in you,
a fragile frame to hold you up.
But slowly the pressure is building,
thin frame breaking,
and nothing I can do to hold you up.
All the king's horses and all the king's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again...
I wish I could but glue the fractures up,
re-sew the torn heart.
I watch the Hollow feed on you,
on your soul and on your joy.
It has taken my friends before now,
I won't let it take you too.

President Obama addressed corporate tax reform, and corporate tax inversions specifically, in an interview with Steve Liesman at CNBC by polishing off some of his campaign arguments about fairness in the tax code.
"For you to continue to benefit from that architecture that helps you thrive but move your technical address simply to avoid paying taxes is neither fair nor something that's going to be good for the country in the long run," said Obama, who acknowledged that the "tax provisions that are technically legal," but says they undermine people's confidence in corporate America.
Obama says fairness should be the goal of tax reform
Tax inversions, which allow US companies to pay lower tax rates by setting up offices in a country with lower rates, has come under criticism recently as Senate Democrats are trying to close the loophole (it's telling that Obama mentioned Ireland and then through in 'other countries' as an afterthought). Obama said that he is willing to lower corporate tax alongside closing loopholes, but that he believes the primary goal of tax reform should be to make a fair and predictable system, not simply to lower effective tax rates. Obama also mentioned wanting to give companies reason to repatriate foreign profits and reinvest them back home and repeated his call to increase taxes on carried interest.
Obama rehashes campaign arguments with better rhetoric
Obama's call for a fairer tax code, where the companies that benefit from the US business environment (everything from infrastructure to the legal system) should have give back, is reminiscent of one of the biggest gaffes of the 2012 election season: 'You didn't build that.'
"Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business—you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen," said Obama.
In context Obama was making the same argument, that businesses owe something to the country and should balance profits with corporate responsibility instead of pursuing the former to the exclusion of the latter. He's polished up his rhetoric so that he doesn't come across as anti-business (carefully avoiding the word unpatriotic, suggested by Liesman). But that doesn't make it any more likely that he's going to through a major tax bill at this point in his presidency.

Fort Worth Police Chief: That Faggot Had It Coming
@16 - Your distaste for public displays of gay affection is just as narrow minded as these police officers, I don't care for seeing straight couples act in the same manner, but I deal because I know that they're socially acceptable still, and we are not.. I understand if it makes you uncomfortable since its probably something you're still not used to being around. Another man kissing another man in public isn't a crime, its not disgusting, and there's nothing wrong with it, no matter how much it bothers you. We are all human beings and should be looked at and treated respectively the same.
@56 - Really.. Let's ban Texas, absentmindedly do something like that.. wake up! This shit happens everywhere.. Not on their side obviously being a homo and a former Texas resident, I love the place, but when I see this kind of thing happen, its like it is a thousand times worse than it would be if it happened in Colorado or Alabama..
Anywho there is no discussion to be had around this issue.. the cops are lying and somebody needs to do something about it. I think its great that there is a medical fund for Chad, thats a step in the right direction, and as was also said earlier.. online discussion with stupid/ignorant comments *silent protests* aren't going to get anything done. In this day and age, with this sort of thing happening, we do need to take action more heartily because we as a society beyond this, yet little packets of ignorance and violence still live on in different areas of the country. If something like a major level protest or a large gathering in refute to this tragedy, I would make my way to TX to help and be a part of it. I'm ashamed the reputation that this is giving Texas as a state, there are still thousands of people there in the dark areas of close-mindedness, so a full on protest demonstration needs to be organized in large numbers, not a violent protest, but a big enough stand to let them know that what they've done is not right, they can't arrest everyone and I'd gladly go jail to put another foot in the door of the gay civil rights movement of this decade, if the protest ended in that direction. Most people wouldn't say the same. I will also be notifying Ft. Worth city and police officials with the provided addresses and contact information.
Final word being the police officers were in the wrong, regardless of whether they were actually groped or not. They had no right to do what they did in any situation unless he had pulled out a gun or some other form of physically offensive weaponry and threatened them. This is a good ol fashioned gay bashing and there is no other explanations around that. I will be keeping an eye on this and watching to see what develops in order of a protest or action towards getting the word out on this happening.
My heart goes out to Chad and I really hope he recovers from this to fight back for what was done to him.

The church bells were ringing here this morning so they must have also had a service at the big church in the middle of town.

Very nice guy, good coffee, pancakes and waffel. The best place to have a breakfeast or to take smth away.
Tasty cheap food and friendly service, returned a second day... nice paninis and waffles, great coffee, friendly staff
To be honest we've been here a few times now, my kids love it. Alex is one of the nicest people I've ever met, in 41 years on the planet.
Nice range of snacks, very well priced for a major tourist destination.
We're going to Budapest in August, and will be taking a detour to Bruges just to go back!
I was there this weekend, but they only served Belgian waffles.
I decided to get a chocolate waffle, but it was not fresh.
Luckily the chocolate was nice.
We were waiting to start tour of brewery around the corner from this little sandwich/waffle place and decided to grab a quick bite. The place is small with a few little stools lined up and a window to order from the street. Decent priced panini sandwiches made right in front of you and frankly quite delicious...I had a pesto, ham,...
A nice, quaint little Belgian cafe popular with both locals and tourists. I had ordered waffles with ice-cream. They made it extra foamy and the taste was beyond delicious. Also, the seating area is pretty accommodative. Worth a visit when you're tired walking down the canal streets.
We visited here several times during a half term visit with our children in October 2015. The place itself is small, catering for sweet and savoury tastes, crepes, waffles, sandwiches, paninis, pasta all available to eat in or takeaway.
Fronted by an excellent, professional and friendly owner and priced very reasonably for the location, we tried pretty much everything on...
Came in for lunch. There were mostly sandwhices on the menu. The prices were decent given where we were. The sandwhiches tasted fine. I had a ham & cheese panini.
The young man who owns Porta takes pride in every order. He was really busy running the shop on his own but still managed to be friendly and cook every item fresh.
Our waffles were so good!
We were looking for a quick, good and inexpensive lunch and found Porta. Delicious soup, huge and tasty vegetarian panini and sweet pancake. Perfect meal to enjoy on a nearby bench, while people watching. Owners are multi language fluent.

Global Vehicle Intelligence Systems Market: Overview
The global vehicle intelligence systems market has been registering positive growth with the growing awareness about road safety. The development of vehicle intelligence systems has boosted the concept of driverless mobility. Vehicle intelligence systems are expected to shape the future of autonomous driving by improving collision avoidance, parking assistance, and emergency braking.
On the basis of vehicle category, the global vehicle intelligence systems market can be segmented into commercial vehicles and passenger cars. The vehicle intelligence systems are mostly installed in premium and luxury cars owing to their high price. However, the commercial vehicles segment holds promising opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period. In terms of road scene understanding, vehicle intelligence systems can be categorized into road sign detection systems, night vision systems, road/lane tracking systems, and pedestrian detection systems. On the basis of advanced driver assistance and driver monitoring, vehicle intelligence systems are classified into blind spot detection systems, traffic jam assist systems, adaptive cruise control, alertness sensing systems, and park assist systems.
Global Vehicle Intelligence Systems Market: Drivers and Restraints
Growing awareness about vehicle and driver safety has fuelled the demand for vehicle intelligence systems. The stringent safety regulations in the manufacturing of cars and the growing demand for luxury cars in the developing countries have supported the growth of the global vehicle intelligence systems market. The rising trend of autonomous/driverless cars is expected to augment the growth of the global vehicle intelligence systems market.
The high cost of vehicle intelligence systems is one of the major restraints in the growth of the global vehicle intelligence systems market. A vehicle intelligence system implements a number of technologies and a range of software-driven electronic components. As a result, the cost of development of the vehicle intelligence system increases. This has limited the installation of vehicle intelligence systems in premium or luxury cars. Furthermore, the effective functioning of vehicle intelligence systems on a real-time basis, coupled with high capital investment, remains a key challenge for market players.
Global Vehicle Intelligence Systems Market: Region-wise Outlook
The global vehicle intelligence market can be segmented into four key regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. The market in Europe is expected to witness significant due to the presence of some of the major automotive players. In countries such as the U.K., Germany, and France, the demand for vehicle intelligence systems is anticipated to surge during the forecast period owing to the presence of auto manufacturers including Daimler AG, Volkswagen Group, BMW AG, and Audi AG. With the growing demand for premium and luxury vehicles across Europe, the region is projected to support the growth of key market players. In Asia Pacific, countries such as India, Japan, South Korea, and China are the key markets for the automotive industry. The growing demand for luxury vehicles, coupled with the rise in the automotive manufacturing facilities in the region, will play a key role in the market's growth in the coming years.
As the focus on driverless cars grows, the key players in the global automotive industry are investing heavily in artificial intelligence in cars. For example, the Toyota Research Institute is targeting the development of a driver assistance system that integrates artificial intelligence to improve safety of vehicle. Some of the prominent players in the global vehicle intelligence systems market are Denso Corporation, Delphi Automotive PLC, Autoliv Inc., Magna International Inc., Robert Bosch GmbH, Mobileye NV, Infineon Technologies AG, Continental AG, Wabco Holdings Inc., and Valeo SA. The key players are focusing on partnerships and collaborations for product development and business expansion.

Chris' question was never addressed. Many people are dying to know more about the 5020e and its wireless capabilities but nobody will comment. WILL the wireless (replacing HDMI) provide as good a signal as Epson claims when we're talking FULL HD and 3D??? I need to know if I need to make swiss cheese out of my ceiling or not. Has anyone really tested to see if the wireless picture is equally as good?

This is an eclectic park and the owner lives on-site. Her hospitality is wonderful and she is quite interesting to talk to about her mining in the area. The sites are gravel, rather big with fire ring and table. They are fairly private as she has put fencing in places, along with the trees, to give each site seclusion. There is no satellite or Wifi or Verizon phone service, but that didn't really surprise us as you're in the middle of the mountains. The 30 amp power worked fine. The road noise wasn't an issue at all. Barkerville is only minutes away. - Hands For Him

The primary purpose in visiting Wells is to see Barkerville, a short 8km drive down the road. Although the campground lacks services found in other parks the owner has done a good job of maintaining cleanliness and providing privacy among guests. This is perhaps the best park for the area and purpose of the journey. - Semiretired

We stayed here 3 nights for the 1st time. This is a nice little park in a perfect setting. Not too many full hookup sites so if you need full service, book early. Owner is a great host and has done an awesome job of putting this campground together from scratch. Gold panning is part of the deal an fits right in with the area. Will come back to do more exploring of this interesting area of BC. - ddrichter

The park road is narrow in one place so would not recommend for larger trailers or motorhomes. Our site (the letter I) was a narrow and not level gravel back-in. There was not enough room for slide-outs. Power and water were shared with adjacent site. I had to use extra cord and hose to reach them. Power was 30 amp, but some other sites were only 15 amp. All utilities at our site worked fine. Sites J, K, L, and R were 15 amp sharing power from a twin 15 amp breaker box. Two of these sites had hoses and extension cords for connections. Most sites also had tables and fire barrels. Restrooms and showers were on the other side of the park from us. There was only one of each for each gender. Showers were $.25 for 2 minutes. The X sites are the newest, but it can be difficult backing into some of them as there are fences between sites. No TV unless you have satellite. Internet access is available in the office for $1 which gives you 10 minutes access on their computer. There were some swings and other playground equipment for the kids. I would check out the other RV park in town if ever in this area again. - Onemoretrail

The Cottonwood House Historic Site is located at km 26 on Highway 26 (to Barkerville). The Ranch offers Cabins and 10 RV sites located adjacent to the historic buildings. When driving towards Barkerville, take the second entrance road to the Roadhouse.
Posted rate is for an electric site. Dry sites are 20$. Admission to the roadhouse and a carriage barn is included. Interesting little tour and nice artifacts.
The sites are level and some can accommodate rigs up to 40' (total length). One site is pull-through, the others are back in. Two sites provide 30 amp, 2 sites only 15 amp, the others are dry. Water spigot and long hose at the washhouse in the middle of the RV-Sites.
Most sites are in the open, only a few have some shade. Nothing between sites to provide some privacy. However, since the place is almost unknown, there was only one other camper during our first stay and no one else during the second stay in August.
The whole place is very well looked after. The sites are raked and level. The restrooms and showers are modern and clean. Highway traffic is negligible and completely dies down at night. A few logging trucks in the early morning. Wi-Fi would make this place perfect but we will come back anyway. - TheSchweitzers

But compared with most screen seafaring adventures — and especially those with hefty price tags — this mystically entertaining adaptation of Patrick O'Brian's popular novels does have eccentricities. Weir attained international stature by directing the subliminally spooky The Last Wave and Picnic at Hanging Rock in the '70s. This movie, which is likely to be sold in part as "Russell Crowe's latest," is in some ways a welcome throwback, albeit on a much grander scale.
We're in Napoleonic territory, 1805, and Britain's HMS Surprise is ordered to keep a larger French ship from escalating the war. Crowe, the movie's one star in a story with only fleeting appearances by women, plays the Surprise's sensitive captain, still proud that, years before, Lord Horatio Nelson spoke to him a few times. With his best friend and the ship's doctor accompanying on cello (Paul Bettany, in a performance some will say steals the show), he even plays classical violin.
Yet action fans needn't fidget. There are battle scenes at the beginning and end, a flogging, a storm and surgeries bordering on the bizarre. Unlike past saltwater sagas, we not only see stacked-up casualties on the deck, but also the repair work below. Another fresh angle is the chill that envelops the ship after an indispensable crewmember has been seriously wounded. And try to recall a non-nature film that drifts over to the Galapagos Islands.
The cat-and-mouse between the Surprise and its adversary is suspenseful and not a little mysterious as the French ship is as likely to appear out of a mist as it is to be in plain sight. Instead of Butch and Sundance saying "Who are those guys?" this is more like, "What is that thing?" Weir knows how to creep us out.
Crowe delivers the star turn an epic with no romantic angle needs, and it's his second consecutive performance (after A Beautiful Mind) to better his Oscar-winning role in Gladiator. You keep expecting this captain to show a dark side, but he's just a plain old good guy.
And novel insights notwithstanding, this is a plain old good movie, too. For an ambitious undertaking that could provide a marketing challenge, it ought to find fans among the young and the old and both genders.

نزدیک به ۸۰ تن در یک حمله در فرانسه جان باختند
خبر ها –
A lorry ploughed into a throng in a French review of Nice Thursday, withdrawal during slightest 80 passed and 20 harmed in an "attack" after a Bastille Dayfireworks display, prosecutors said.
France supervision pronounced a motorist of a lorry was shot passed after barreling down a palm-lined Promenade des Anglais, promulgation hundreds of shocked people journey and withdrawal a strand trail strewn with depressed bodies.
"An particular gathering a lorry into a crowd. He was killed by police," pronounced interior method orator Pierre-Henry Brandet.
A sketch showed a front of a lorry riddled with bullet holes and badly damaged, with detonate tires.
Robert Holloway, an AFP contributor who witnessed a white lorry pushing during high speed onto a strand road, described scenes of "absolute chaos".
"We saw people strike and pieces of waste drifting around. we had to strengthen my face from drifting debris," he said.
Nice prosecutor Jean-Michel Pretre pronounced during slightest 70 (since revised to 80) people were killed after a lorry gathering dual kilometers by a crowd.
Hours after a attack, dozens of bodies lay on a belligerent lonesome in white sheets.
Local supervision central Sebastien Humbert pronounced scores some-more people were harmed in what he called "a vital rapist attack".
While a occurrence has not been claimed by any group, prosecutors pronounced a examine would be rubbed by anti-terrorist investigators.
The carnage comes 8 months after Islamic State jihadist attacks on Paris nightspots left 130 people passed and scores injured, that already struck a blow to tourism in one of a world's tip destinations.
Islamic State has regularly singled out France as a primary target, and a nation has been underneath a state of puncture ever given a Nov 13 Paris attacks.
An Australian citizen, Emily Watkins, was held adult in a chaos, and told a Australian Broadcasting Corporation that while she saw a truck, she did not comprehend what had happened.
"There was a lot of screams entrance from forward of us where a lorry was, and people only using towards us and but unequivocally meaningful what was going on we incited and ran as well.
"People were tripping over and perplexing to get into hotel lobbies and restaurants or automobile parks or anywhere they could to get divided from a street."
The apparent attack came only hours after France announced that a state of puncture announced after final November's attacks would come to an finish after this month.
The occurrence comes after a day of spree as France distinguished a inhabitant day, Bastille Day, that began with troops resplendence and rite as a armed forces, tanks and warrior jets swooped down a Champs Elysees avenue.
The holiday typically ends with fantastic fireworks over a Eiffel Tower in Paris, as good as cities around a country.
However celebrations were fast overshadowed.

The road to interpreting intentions is paved with mirror neurons.
A study by UCLA neuroscientists featuring functional magnetic resonance imaging and a well-stocked tea service suggests for the first time that mirror neurons help people understand the intentions of others -- a key component to social interaction.
Reporting Feb. 22 in the online edition of PLoS Biology, the UCLA team found that pre motor mirror neuron areas of the brain -- areas active during the execution and the observation of an action -- ascribe intentions to actions when presented within a context. Previously, these neurons were thought to be involved only in action recognition.
In addition to expanding knowledge of how the brain functions, the findings support a growing body of evidence that imitation-based forms of treatments in patients with autism and similar disorders may help stimulate the function of these neurons, helping these patients improve their ability to understand the intentions of others and empathize with their thoughts and feelings.
"Understanding the intentions of others while watching their action is a fundamental building block of social behavior," said principal investigator Dr. Marco Iacoboni, an associate professor in-residence of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute's Ahmanson Lovelace Brain Mapping Center and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. "Our findings show for the first time that intentions behind actions of others can be recognized by the motor system using a mirror mechanism in the brain. The same area of the brain responsible for understanding behavior can predict behavior as well."
Twenty-three research subjects underwent functional MRI while alternately viewing three stimuli presented in the form of short videos: 1) a hand grasping a cup without context; 2) a tea service stocked with food and drink before use and after use, or context only; and 3) the grasping of a tea cup within each of the two contexts, signaling intent either to drink or to clean.
Actions embedded in context, compared with the other two conditions, increased blood flow in the posterior part of the brain's inferior frontal gyrus, known to be important for grasping control, and in the adjacent sector of the ventral premotor cortex, where hand actions are represented. Increased blood flow is an indicator of increased neural activity.
Iacoboni also is affiliated with the UCLA Brain Research Institute and the UCLA Center for Culture, Brain and Development. Other members of the research team included Istvan Molnar Szakacs and John C. Mazziotta of UCLA, and Vittorio Gallese, Giovanni Buccino and Giacomo Rizzolatti of the University of Parma, Italy.

You let it rip through my soul and left me torn apart.

Self-reported by organization
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Program 1
Multiple after-school ARTclub classes will meet for 2 hours at school sites once a week for 6 to 12 weeks. The long-term, sequential format allows instructors to develop strong relationships with students and to delve into challenging projects because students have built a repertoire of skills in previous classes. ARTsmart's developmentally appropriate lesson format is based on arts education and child development research and our 24 years of experience. Lessons meet New Mexico Core Content Standards for the Visual Arts as well as other Core Content areas. Our six-part methodology includes: Art History, Language, Demonstration, Artmaking, Critique, and Exhibits. There is no charge to the schools or students to attend ARTclub.
Program long term success
Students will develop critical and creative thinking skills, improve literacy and language skills, gain self-confidence and exhibit positive social behaviors, and expand awareness of cultural diversity and promote tolerance.
Program success monitored by
ARTsmart success is primarily assessed through written pre and post program surveys. ARTsmart also receives written feedback from parents and from school staff. ARTsmart instructors review student portfolios which can demonstrate a student's increased technical skills and ability to focus and think creatively. Instructor observation and feedback gives us the most information about positive changes in student behavior. ARTsmart teachers consistently report that students become more open-minded, self-confident, and thoughtful of their peers over the course of the program.
Program success examples
ARTsmart has success when we received positive feedback from students, parents and teachers. One student wrote, "When I make art I feel I can express myself whether I'm happy, angry or sad. Art is important to me because I don't know how to express myself in any other way." Parents also see a difference in their children. "Our daughter's ability to deal with frustration and challenges has increased because of ARTclub."

January is BlogHer's Month of Little Steps to Health & Fitness, and we want you to share your favorite easy health tip! Click here to see how to play along. And check out all the tips so far in the Month of Little Steps to Health & Fitness series.
Every morning, I wake up at 6 am. I go downstairs and check email for a moment (why? I have no idea? I think it's my get-adjusted-to-the-light ten minutes). Then I go down to the basement and run for a half hour. I drink a bit of water. I head back upstairs and shower (my husband is moving the twins through their morning routine), and then once I'm ready, I pack the lunches, get bags and coats set up by the front door, drive them to school, return home, and begin work. That's my morning -- Monday to Friday.
So what's your morning routine? Are you the morning sort? Do you also work out? Or are you more of a sleep-in-because-you-showered-at-night sort? Do you need to drink coffee? Write down your morning routine, down to the last detail. Go ahead, I'll wait.
Good, now that you've cemented your current morning routine by putting it into words, I'm going to ask you to change one small thing in order to force you out of your rut. Yes, changing your entire life can be as simple as changing one tiny moment in your morning because it will create a ripple that moves across your whole day.
I once had a friend point out how disconcerting it can be to accidentally wash your body out of order in the shower. We all have a shower routine that involves washing various body parts in the same order -- day in and day out. And it throws off everything when you accidentally start with your arms instead of your legs, or maybe wash your hair before you wash your face as usual. That feeling of everything being a bit off usually stays with you long after you've dried off, and that's the effect we're going for as you tweak your morning.
In other words, we are creatures of habit, and the best way to create a change is to break a habit by making a small change.
I looked at something I could move out of my morning routine so I could move something in, and getting the bags packed or the lunches mostly finished seemed like the best place to save a little time. So I moved that to the night before and now I need to figure out something tiny I can place in the five minute window that opened up in my morning routine. Would it be something that makes me happy? Something healthy? I'm leaning towards reading for five minutes.
I know, you're sort of laughing at that, wondering how reading for five minutes is going to change my whole life. But I'll tell you why -- it's not only going to jar me out of my rut by being something new in my morning, it's going to send a message to myself that I am important too. That my likes (such as reading) are just as important as packing those lunches or taking that shower. So I'm starting my morning with a tiny bit of me time. If I hadn't already had exercise in my routine, I would have found five minutes for yoga. Or five minutes of meditation. Or five minutes of tea-drinking and staring into space. In other words, all I did was bump out something small and work in something small. And it changes the whole day.
So ... what are you bumping out and what are you working in? Or, if you have time for it, you can simply add without bumping (or multitask such as working in a cup of really good coffee; but drinking it as you drive to work).
And after you've tried this for seven days, I'd love to have you come back and tell me how creating a new morning routine affected the rest of your day.

Sky's Story
Jade Empire Spin off
By: Scarlett Midnight
A week ago my big brother left the house and I decided because I'm his sister I would go through his left over stuff to see if anything was good. ( yeah I was trying to black mail him) and I came by "Jade Empire" for X-Box original. I had the machine plugged in for "Mortal Combat" to play with my boyfriend so I thought I would give it a try.
I fell in love with this game. I decided to play "Wu the Lotus Blossom" with the way of the open palm and to fall in love with a dashing rogue named Sky. Well, all my fans of the "Crossing Time, Magic, Life, and Destiny" series know when I love something the wheels start turning in my head for a story. So, I thought why not write about Sky's perspective. And so here's a little something on the side when I get a little tired of My InuYasha/ Harry Potter crossover. Something totally different. Sky's Story.
Opening his eyes he heard the last three words that his beloved one would ever hear.
'Even the flaws!'
Sky opened his eyes looking up. A women in purple buckled as an old man flew his fists into her chest stomach and neck. The women faltured and staggered suddenly catching his eye. They filled with shock as her knees hit the ground and she crumbled over. Eyes still wide opne staring with shock into the nothingness.
'Wu!' a women in magenta screamed as she fought off the new Lotus Assaisians. More cries of loss followed as Sky's compainions awoken.
'No!' Sky cried, his sight blurred as the women on the floor did not stir. 'Not again!' He felt the blood on his hands as his daughter breathed her last to early, but even that was nothing compared to the pain now.
He dodged slow Assasians and cut down the others to get to her. The others out of the corner of his eye were running. So he picked up the women with the most beautiful face he'd ever seen and ran, ran with the women who did not battle.
Kang the Mad came into view, he was sitting in the Magnificent Dragonfly getting it off the ground.
'Get the fool!' A Lotus Asassian. But he was to late. Sky launched himself and her into the Maginificant Dragonly and with the woman in black's help slammed the door shut.
Everything was silent then.
'Oh, my Lotus Blossom.' Silk Fox wimpered falling to her knees in silent agony.
Black Whirlwind looked at the dead face as if this was the first time he had truly seen the dead. Wild flower sobbed loudly in the corner. Henpecked Hou took his first drink of wine in ten years.
Dawn Star had spread herself across the robes of women tears staining a pattern across the silk.
Sky's hatred for this womens Master bloomed like a Lotus. He dropped right beside her pale face, playing with the womens hair. Hatred bloomed as his Lotus wilted.

Secada Launches Bilingual Campaign to Motivate Hispanic Americans Affected by Chronic Hepatitis C -- Joins Forces with Gregg Allman and Natalie Cole
Merck (NYSE: MRK) (known as MSD outside the United States and Canada) today announced that three-time GRAMMY® award-winning Cuban-American recording artist and songwriter Jon Secada is adding his voice to the Tune In to Hep C public health campaign to help raise awareness of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Secada revealed for the first time today that his father recently passed away from complications associated with chronic HCV infection, a disease that disproportionately affects the Hispanic community. He hopes that sharing his family's personal experience through this bilingual awareness campaign will activate Hispanic Americans with chronic HCV to take action and speak to their doctors about their options.
Secada joins Merck, the American Liver Foundation (ALF) and fellow GRAMMY® winners Gregg Allman of The Allman Brothers Band and Natalie Cole on the Tune In to Hep C initiative, which Merck and ALF launched last year.
Chronic HCV is a viral infection of the liver that is potentially serious and can damage the liver over time and lead to cirrhosis, end-stage liver disease and liver cancer. Of the approximately 3.2 million Americans who have chronic HCV, an estimated one million are Hispanic. Research has shown that complications due to chronic HCV develop more quickly and result in more health issues in Hispanics when compared to other ethnic groups, especially considering many people infected with chronic HCV, Hispanic or non-Hispanic, do not know that they have the virus – approximately 70 to 80 percent of people newly infected with the virus do not have symptoms.
"My father chose not to tell anyone about his disease for a long time, and he chose not to take action against it for reasons I may never understand. Before he passed away, he told me that he wanted me to share his story to help other people like him who have chronic hepatitis C but aren't taking action," said Secada, who was unaware of his father's diagnosis for more than a decade. "You can't be silent with a silent disease that has consequences like chronic hepatitis C -- you need to talk to your doctor and talk to your family. Take it from me, the people who love you want to be there to help you, and want you to be there for them."
The American Liver Foundation partnered with Merck on the Tune In to Hep C campaign to help address barriers that can keep people from managing their disease, including lack of awareness and social stigma. The American Liver Foundation is a national organization advocating for those living with liver disease and their families, and provides education, support and research for the prevention, treatment and cure of liver disease.
"Chronic hepatitis C disproportionately affects the Hispanic community but, unfortunately, there is stigma and low awareness of the disease and its potential complications, so it is not widely discussed among Hispanics in the U.S.," said Newton Guerin, president and chief executive officer, American Liver Foundation. "We hope Jon's desire to turn his family's loss into a positive message for those who face this disease will encourage them to take action."
Information about chronic HCV in the Hispanic community, as well as exclusive video of Secada telling his personal story, can be found on www.HepatitisCTocaElTema.com, a Spanish-language website that launched today. Secada's story, as well as Allman and Cole's, also can be found on the campaign's English website, www.TuneInToHepC.com.
"For more than 30 years, Merck has been committed to fighting chronic HCV. That commitment extends beyond science and is part of our overall mission to help people around the world be well," said Mark Timney, president, Global Human Health - U.S. Market, Merck. "We believe Jon's message is an important one that will motivate Hispanic Americans with hepatitis C to take action and speak with their doctors, and we applaud him for his efforts in this campaign."
About Jon Secada
Secada is a three-time GRAMMY award-winning Cuban-American recording artist and songwriter who has released a string of hits in both English and Spanish. He has sold more than 20 million albums since his self-titled debut album in 1992. Jon Secada (SBK/EMI) sold more than six million copies worldwide and was certified triple platinum in the U.S., where it reached No. 15 among Billboard Pop albums. He later scored a No. 5 Pop hit with the Gold single "Just Another Day," and three more top 30 hits, "Angel," "I'm Free," and "Do You Believe in Us?" The Spanish-language version of the album, Otro Dia Mas Sin Verte (EMI-Latin), became the top Latin album of 1992 earning him his first GRAMMY Award for Best Latin Pop Album.
Recently, Secada participated as a celebrity contestant on Univision's hit dance show "Mira Quien Balia" (Latin version of "Dancing with the Stars"), and he released his highly anticipated new Spanish album, Otra Vez (YME Records/Universal), in February 2011. Secada is currently working on his next English album, I'm Never Too Far Away, which is expected to be released in 2012.
Secada's father Jose was born in Cuba in 1928 and remained there until 1970 when he moved his family to the United States. After being diagnosed with chronic HCV, he waited for more than 10 years to reveal his diagnosis to his son. Jose Secada was a proud man who wanted to be strong and provide for his family. He did not feel sick initially, so he did not follow up with his doctor and never took action against his disease. Ultimately, he began to experience complications, but did not understand the potential consequences until it was too late and the damage to his liver was irreparable. Before his father passed away in November of 2011, Secada received his blessing to share their family's story to educate others about the disease.

|TEXT-Cursor is very small in oo 3.3.0 (writer) / what's a "CWS vcl108" ???
|Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:14:40 GMT
Hello development Team, I apreciate your work on OO very much. Thank you for that. I have a question: In OO 3.3.0 writer the TEXT-cursor is very small. Look at this comparing picture the "thickness" is so tiny that the cursor plays hiding with me. This page https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=104264 claims the problem is fixed. Now in my version of OO (german) this problem ISN'T fixed. It tells something about a "CWS vcl108". I have no idea what a "CWS vcl108" is. For normal users it is not helpful to use developer insider acronyms. I would like to know how I can fix this problem. best regards Stefan

I may reconsider my decision anyway.

Trouble with a Capital JMature
Riovynn hated the dependency. Having to ask for everything. He looked forward to the day that he could tell the guard who found them... Jasper? That he was no longer needed. Back at the Dark Lord's fortress, Riovynn had often told people they were no longer required... usually by killing them.
He wouldn't be able to do that here unfortunately.
During the meal, little attempt at conversation was made between Riovynn, his apprentice, whose real name he still didn't know, and Jasper. In fact, Jasper's attention was more diverted to the girl at one of the other tables.
Riovynn made note of that.
He also made note of how she ate, how she held herself, how she sat. He had his suspicions on where she came from, but decided to make sure.
"Who is she?" he asked.
"Who?" said Jasper in an almost hostile tone.
Riovynn leaned forward and lowered his voice, "I do not presume to think you are stupid Jasper. Don't insult yourself."
Jasper glared at Riovynn, who was largely unaffected by it. He had received many glares in the course of his service for the Emperor. People he was about to kill, family of the people he had killed, and even other servants of the empire who were too afraid to challenge Riovynn and simply tried to kill him with their eyes.
"Her name is Layla. She escaped from the empire."
"Would this have been about two or three weeks ago?"
Jasper's eyes narrowed, confirming Riovynn's question, and initial thoughts about the girl. She was a slave. She was the very same slave who had stolen one of Threl's horses. Riovynn smiled at the thought.
"Why are you curious Durn?" said Jasper accusingly.
"I might have known her, back when I was forced to serve the empire." said Riovynn, holding Jasper's stare. "Not that you would know anything about that. How fortunate of you to be able to choose the course your life took."
It was Jasper's turn to lean forward.
"Yes, what a choice. Choosing between certain and uncertain death. There is much about me that you don't know Durn. So don't insult yourself."
"Very clever retort. Your comrades must be grateful to have a man who can think for himself."
Jasper grabbed Riovynn by his collar and all but pulled him over the table. Riovynn had to consciously hold back from responding to this threat like he would have at an earlier point in time.
"Listen well Durn. Call me what you will, but I, at least, am honest. I will not lie to you by saying that I trust you, or that I want to trust you, or that I will ever trust you. I don't know where you came from, but I doubt you were truly on the run from those soldiers. Your sister" Jasper sneered on the word, "Killed nearly as many of them as did our archers, and you looked ready to take them all yourself. You could have killed them easily without our help. You are not what you seem to be."
Jasper released Riovynn, stood up from the table, and left the dining hall.
"Well done brother." said the apprentice.
"I'm an assassin, not a politician. Had we been fighting with swords instead of words, I could have killed him easily, as you well know sister. Now come. We need to talk in private."
As they made their way out Zane caught up to them.
"Durn! Ah, well... I'm not sure what happened back there, but I apologize if Jasper lost control of himself, he-"
"It is fine. The issue is now past and we... understand each other a bit better."
"Oh... alright." He seemed to think for a moment before continuing. "I will be teaching Layla the sword. If you come to the training grounds tomorrow we can evaluate your skill and set you up to learn as we-"
"I am proficient enough with a blade, as is my sister. She still needs instruction which I will give her. Thank you." They started to walk away and as an afterthought Riovynn added, "Do you have a blacksmith here?"
"Yes. His name is Erik. I can take him to you now if you would like."
"I would be grateful."
Zane lead them through the maze of caves and tents and eventually they could hear the sound of metal clanging in the distance. They approached and Zane stuck his head inside, calling,
There was a curse from inside.
"Zane! Dammit! I've told you to not sneak in like that!"
"Yes of course. My apologies. Here are our two newest arrivals. Durn and his sister Tanya."
Zane stepped back and allowed Erik to come and shake their hands.
"Hello there. I apologize for my outburst, you two may not know better, but this one should."
Zane cut him off, "Yes well, Durn was asking for you Erik. Perhaps you could help him?"
"I can't guarantee it will happen anytime soon, but I will help if I can. What do you need?"
"Well, I need a few new knives."
"Ah, come this way, I have a few already made." said Erik bringing them to a rack with various butcher knives, bread knives, and others of a more domicile nature.
"Knives for battle." said Riovynn. "Daggers."
"Ah I see. I believe I can help you there, but as I said, it will be awhile. I am the only blacksmith at the moment so I am quite busy."
"Could I offer you my help?"
"You could offer, but I'm not sure you would be much of a help. I don't have time to train an apprentice."
"Could I at least watch then? I have an eye for detail, and I am a fast learner."
Erik rubbed his chin in thought and finally said, "If you are just watching, then I don't mind as long as you stay out of the way."
"Thank you."
"My pleasure. I must get back to work now, but I will keep an eye out for you when I'm free."
The wiry man turned back inside and soon the sounds of clanging metal could be heard coming from within. Zane led them back to the dining hall and pointed out which way their separate rooms were.
"I'll extend an opportunity to the both of you. At the training ground we hold friendly sparring matches if you ever wish to come down and watch or better yet, participate. It is up to you."
And then he was gone. Riovynn and his apprentice made their way to the room she shared with Layla and hoped that it was unoccupied. It was. They sat down and began to discuss the events of the day.
"You apprenticed yourself to a blacksmith?"
"Not quite. I'm going to observe him at his craft. I have a good memory and I am practiced at observation. It is my job after all. With time, I may pick up some skill. Now I have a question for you. What is your real name?"
"For now you can call me Tanya. My real name is one of the few treasures I have left. I am not going to spend it so freely."
"As you wish. Now about our mission here, we are to-"
"Tanya are you her- Oh! Hello Durn. I am sorry if I interrupted."
"No don't worry, we were just finishing actually. I am sorry for intruding. I will leave you to your privacy."
As he left, all Riovynn could think about was his mission. He had ended up with the rebellion as he had hoped, but now he had an apprentice to train. An apprentice with a quick mind. An apprentice who might realize it if he blatantly disregarded the mission. He would have to think about how he would play both sides to his own advantage.
He hoped that somehow, playing things to his own advantage would involve harming the troublesome Guard Jasper.
