What is the Free Influencer web site ?
Free Influencer is a web site where you can search and discover people and more particularly their influence in a people network.
All people, influence relationships between people, the descriptions, pictures, ... are definied in Freebase, an open and shared database. As Freebase is opened, you can add or modify any information, like for instance influence network.
You can contribute to the Free Influencer web site by adding, modifying the suggested influence relationsships between people.
To contribute to the influence network, you need to have a Freebase account.
Freebase is ...
Create a Freebase account ?
Go the Freebase web site to register .
Once you have signed in, you can create people, add influences, modify influences, ...
Add a person in Freebase ?
The person you are looking for is not in the Free Influencer web site.
You have first to create this person in Freebase database.
Then once the person is created, you will be able to add influence relationships.
To create a person, you need to go through the following steps :
. step 1 : Go to www.freebase.com/view/people/person
. step 2 : Click on the link " Add a new Person"
. step 3 : a box is opening and you can fill the first and last name of the person
. step 4 : Click on "Create New Person" then "Save"
. step 5 : you have the confirmation that this person has been added
. step 6 : You can go the created Freebase page of this person
Modify the Freebase page of person ?
First go the Frebase person page.
The whole page of a person can be modified in Freebase.
Check that the field you want to modify is visible. If necessary, click on "Show Empty Fields"
Add/Modify information in the Freebase page of a person
As an example below, the Gender field is filled (ex. Male)
Add/Modify a picture in the Freebase page of a person
Go on this icon and click on Add an image
Choose the picture (upload, link, ...) and add it.
Add/Modify the description in the Freebase page of a person
Add/Modify a quotation information in the Freebase page of a person
Add a person in the influence network
If a person is not yet in the influence network, you won't be able to add influence relationships.
You have first to chek that the
type Influence Node is associated to this person.
If not, you have to go through the following steps :
. step 1 : Go to the icon and click on " Add new"
. step 2 : Fill in with Influence Node as a type and Save
. step 3 : the influence relationships have been added to the page,
that is the Influenced by, the Peers, the Influenced
Add/modify the Influenced by, the Peers or the Influenced
. step 1 : Choose the relation you want to fill in. Go to the icon and click on Add new
. step 2 : Repeat as long as you want to fill in the correct influences
. step 3 : If necessary, you can rearrange the order

This website is part of the ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control) network
European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control
Europe appears to be at little risk from dengue transmission in comparison with other global locations, even though climatic conditions exist in some parts, new ECDC report concludes.
The report, entitled'Climatic suitability for dengue transmission in continental Europe', summarises the key findings of a project, which developed a series of risk maps demonstrating the current and potential distribution of dengue in continental Europe.
The maps explore the geographical distribution and the climate suitability of dengue and the dengue mosquito vectors - Aedes aegyptiand Aedes albopictus - in Europe to assess which areas could be most suitable for dengue transmission.
The current risk to Europe appears to be minimal, yet some areas are more climatically suitable than others. However, the report provides a relative but not absolute calculation of the risk of dengue transmission.
Much of central and Mediterranean Europe is climatically suitable for Aedes albopictus, states the report; the VBORNET maps on current known distribution of Aedes albopictus show that this mosquito species is already present in many places in Mediterranean Europe. In addition, some areas could potentially be a suitable habitat for Aedes aegypti (the Mediterranean areas of Spain, France and Italy, south-eastern Europe).
The climatic suitability maps can be used as a tool for public health planning. A sensible strategy is to continue to monitor the spread of dengue mosquito vectors in Europeand expand vector surveillance in areas climatically suitable for these vectors.
In 2012 ECDC will produce guidelines to assist the Member States to implement invasive mosquito vector surveillance and improve coverage and harmonisation of data collection within the EU.

Re: Suggestions for Maintaining "Object" State?
Hello Carey,
one possibility you could use is an object-oriented approach what you
perhaps have in mind with "using UpValues or Tags to assign object
state to symbols". Here are two links where you can download packages
and examples:
The book of Roman Maeder "The Mathematica programmer" vol. I explains
his package in more detail.
Below is a simple sphere example for an object oriented approach which
works without the packages. The sphere state is characterized by its
radius and center.
Best regards,
(*Nothing is a sphere by default*)
In[1]:= sphereQ[_] := False;
(*Constructor of a sphere*)
In[2]:= sphere[r_, c : {_, _, _}] := Module[{sphere},
sphereQ[sphere] = True;
rad[sphere] = r;
center[sphere] = c;
(*Methods which can be applied to a sphere*)
In[3]:= volume[s_?sphereQ] := (4 Pi)/3 rad[s]^3;
move[s_?sphereQ, dc : {_, _, _}] := center[s] = center[s] + dc;
expand[s_?sphereQ, dr_] := rad[s] = rad[s] + dr;
(*Create two spheres which are initially equal*)
In[6]:= s1 = sphere[1, {0, 0, 0}]
s2 = sphere[1, {0, 0, 0}]
Out[6]= sphere$66
Out[7]= sphere$69
(*Here we see the initial states of both spheres*)
In[8]:= rad[s1]
Out[8]= 1
Out[9]= {0, 0, 0}
In[10]:= rad[s2]
Out[10]= 1
Out[11]= {0, 0, 0}
(*The volumes are of course also equal*)
In[12]:= volume[s1]
Out[12]= (4 \[Pi])/3
Out[13]= (4 \[Pi])/3
(*Now change the state of sphere 1*)
In[14]:= move[s1, {1, 0, 0}];
expand[s1, 2];
(*Now the states are different*)
In[16]:= rad[s1]
Out[16]= 3
Out[17]= {1, 0, 0}
Out[18]= 1
Out[19]= {0, 0, 0}
(*And the volumes will be calculated depending on the state of each
In[20]:= volume[s1]
Out[20]= 36 \[Pi]
Out[21]= (4 \[Pi])/3

At the papal conclave in Rome the College of Cardinals meet to elect a new Bishop of Rome, also known as the Pope. With this app you can directly follow the results from the Sistine Chapel live on your Android phone, iPhone, iPod or iPad. The fumata nera (black smoke) announces the election wasn't decisive. The fumata bianca (white smoke) announces the conclave is over and a new Pope is elected
In the secretive world of the Vatican, there is no way to know who is in the running, and history has yielded plenty of surprises. Several names such as Angelo Scola, Ordilo Scherer, Marc Ouellet, and Peter Erdo have come up as strong contenders for becoming the new leader of the Catholic Church. But only the smoke can tell when the voting is over and the new Pope is proclaimed.
Pope Smoke is a one-feature app with intuitive UI.

Remember six months ago when Daniel traded in that green, black striped belt for a blue belt? What an amazing day it was as we realized that it was just three years before that he had his very first tae kwon do class and learned how to break a board with his foot. I still marvel over what he has done with tae kwon do discovering his own strength, focus and determination. Whether he has ever realized it or not, these traits have always been a part of who he is ever since he was a one pound baby fighting for his life. The most willful, or feisty of micropreemies are not only the ones who drive their NICU caregivers to crazy exhaustion, but are the ones who survive AND thrive. I'll let you in on a little secret; they are also NICU caregivers' most favorite patients. Yes, watching Daniel practice tae kwon do I am reminded of the fact that he is part of a small community of the strongest humans on the planet. How lucky he is to put on that uniform and tie that blue belt around his waist.
With that thought in mind, Daniel and members of his martial arts studio have signed on to Martial Arts for St. Jude to break as many boards as possible next Saturday all to benefit the incredible work done at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. How could an amazing kid like Daniel not want to help out amazing, strong and brave kids just like himself?
Oh, and he gets to break boards. It's always fun to yell real loud as you kick a board with your bare foot and break it.
Daniel's goal is to raise $251, one dollar more than what he must raise to receive a silver medal. Why not go for the $500 to get the gold medal, I wonder. Well, he likes the silver.
Okay then.
If you can, won't you help Daniel reach his goal? Your tax-deductible donation helps to ensure that families who seek treatment for their children at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital never pay for anything as well as help fund lifesaving research that benefit not only patients at St. Jude's but also pediatric cancer patients everywhere.
As fans of Daniel you all have always been so generous whether it be for the March of Dimes through TeamDaniel or just to help a kid out with his jog-a-thon so his special ed class can win the school ice cream party. That's one of the many reasons why we love you all…because you care, you really care for this amazing little man of ours. So if you can…no amount ever too small…help Daniel reach his $251 fundraising goal…for the patients of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital…for the silver medal Daniel wants to earn…for all the boards he is planning to break..
Thank you!

Some Tame Gazelle (original 1950; edition 1983)
by Barbara Pym
Work details
Some Tame Gazelle by Barbara Pym (1950)
This was a pleasant easy read, a quiet novel about two spinster sisters, Belinda and Harriet, who live in a small English village. Their lives revolve around home, church and the other villagers. We see it all through Belinda's eyes and her thoughts provide much of the gentle humor in the book. She has quite the snarky thoughts but is far too polite to give voice to them, which is rather refreshing.
Written in 1950 this is Pym's first book and she's often been compared to Jane Austen.This type of book is a nice read for when you want to slow down and savor wry observations of life in a quieter, gentler time.
"His hand reached the knob simultaneously with hers. For one panic-stricken moment she even imagined that it lingered for a fraction of a second, but then dismissed the unworthy thought almost before it had time to register in her mind. She was in an agitated state, and she had read somewhere that in any case middle-aged spinsters were apt to imagine things of this kind…"
This is a character-driven book depicting the quiet lives of the inhabitants of a small English village in the 1930s, and is told both with melancholy and with biting humor. The book is delightful, following two middle-aged spinsters: the sisters Belinda and Harriet Bede, who live together. Belinda is timid and very sensible. She has been quietly in love with the married archdeacon of their church for nearly 30 years. Her sister Harriet is outgoing, bubbly, and a little ridiculous, delighting in welcoming any new curate with flirtatious ministrations. Their daily lives and interactions with friends and neighbors are lovingly recounted.
"When the day came for Agatha to go away, Belinda and Harriet watched her departure out of Belinda's bedroom window. From here there was an excellent view of the vicarage drive and gate. Belinda had brought some brass with her to clean and in the intervals when she stopped her vigorous rubbing to look out the window, was careful to display the duster in her hand. Harriet stared out quite unashamedly, with nothing in her hand to excuse her presence there. She even had a pair of binoculars, which she was now trying to focus."
I loved it, and look forward to more Barbara Pym!
A delightful book about the inhabitants of a simple country village. A cross between E.F. Benson's "Lucia" books and Miss Read's village life, I quite enjoyed this lovely little volume and it's charming characters, centered around two spinster sisters who seem different at first but at heart are much the same. This was my first Barbara Pym and I'm looking forward to the next one!
This was Barbara Pym's first book, written during the 1930's in the period between the wars, although it wasn't published until 1950. It is a pretty good effort for a first book, and has many of the classic characteristics of a Barbara Pym book - spinsters with broken hearts, clergy, tea parties, and lots of biting humor. Harriet and Belinda are sisters who are independent and own their own home. Belinda pines for the archdeacon who was a classmate in college, but who also happens to be married. Harriet has had several offers of marriage, but prefers staying unattached and amuses herself by inviting the various curates for tea. The story is more character driven than plot driven, and boils down to a rather humorous tale.
This seems archetypal Barbara Pym country: a small village somewhere in the south of England, middle-aged spinsters, archdeacons and curates, all very middle-class with not very much happening outside of the church bazaar and afternoon tea. Belinda and Harriet are the two spinsters in question here, both unmarried although certainly Harriet has had numerous offers, which still continue even though she is in her fifties, with her close friend Ricardo, a neighbour who just happens to be an Italian count, proposing on a regular basis. But Harriet enjoys her single life as long as she has a succession of curates to dote on, and as the vicar of the parish, Archdeacon Hoccleve, is notoriously lazy, he always has a curate in tow for her to admire. But it is her sister Belinda who is the real focus of this book: Belinda, who has adored Archdeacon Hoccleve since they were students together, when her hopes of marriage were dashed by the more dashing and determined Agatha, the current Mrs Hoccleve. But not even their closest friends would say it was a marriage made in heaven, and Agatha's departure for Germany to 'take the waters' throws Belinda and the Archdeacon together rather more than they have been accustomed to …
This is a very gentle book, and while it pokes fun at the behaviour of its characters it isn't done with malice. Even the Archdeacon, who must be hell to be married to, comes off relatively lightly. In my opinion it lacks the acerbic wit that [Excellent Women] has, and is a lesser book for that reason. The book was published in 1950 but written in the 1930's and it shows: this is clearly the period between the wars when middle-class (but not wealthy ladies) still had live in servants and took tea religiously at 4pm every day. Quintessentially English I suppose, although when a book is described as that it is always a very specific Englishness that is meant, that excludes whole swathes of the countryside and the population. So a quiet and pleasant read, but certainly would not be my favourite of her novels.

It's hot, dry and sweaty on Ash Road, where Graham, Harry and Wallace are getting their first taste of independence, camping, just the three of them. When they accidentally light a bushfire no one would have guessed how far it would go. All along Ash Road fathers go off to fight the fires and mothers help in the first aid centres. The children of Prescott are left alone, presumed safe, until it's the fire itself that reaches them. These children are forced to face a major crisis with only each other and the two old men left in their care. The best selling Ash Road is an action-packed adventure story, so evocative of rural Australia you can taste the eucalyptus.

Comments about Ash Road:
This book was read to grade 5/6 primary students as part of a unit on natural disasters. They couldn't wait for the next instalment and begged to hear more than the allotted 15 minutes of reading time each day! Many of the terms no longer in common usage made great discussion points as did some of the social situations. We will use this book with our students again and again - a classic well worth a re-read!
'The description of the fire and the atmosphere of the day are so vividly described...deservedly classic story.' -- ReadPlus 'Ivan Southall's Ash Road was one of the first Australian books to immerse readers in the experience of being caught in a bushfire in all its sensory detail; its publication in 1965 affected readers and fellow authors alike.'

In what was one of Saturday Night Live's funniest parody sketches in recent memory, the show took a shot at the iPhone 5 and the tech industry's response to some of its much-discussed setbacks, including Google Maps.
[More from Mashable: Anonymous Dumps Long-Time Ally Wikileaks [VIDEO]]
In a faux talk show called Tech Talk -- starring guest host Christina Applegate -- critics bashed the major design flaws surrounding the latest Apple smartphone. To address the issues, three Chinese factory workers joined in to put them in place.
"You wanted Starbucks, but it took you to Dunkin' Donuts?" said one worker, referring to the new Apple Maps app. "That must be so hard for you."
[More from Mashable: 8 Apps You Don't Want To Miss]
Another responded: "I guess we are lucky that we don't use Maps since we sleep where we work."
The critics started to backpedal and apologized for being so harsh in their reviews, but the workers didn't buy it -- they whipped out violins to play along with the whining.
Applegate, who served as Tech Talk's moderator, asked the workers if they wanted to complain about any American products (as it would only be fair):
"What does America make?" one said. "Does diabetes count as a product?"

Jenna Coleman, the actress who plays the Doctor's companion Clara, is confident that the next series of Doctor Who, and our new time lord Peter Capaldi, will be "great". Coleman opened up about filming for Doctor Who series eight last night, after the BBC1 sci-fi show won two awards at the National Television Awards for best drama and best dramatic performance, for former-Doctor Matt Smith. "We've got off to a cracking start," Coleman exclusively told RadioTimes.com after collecting the show's two trophies. "We've got Ben Wheatley directing who is fantastic and it's great. Peter's doing a really amazing job." "We've just taken off like a rocket really," she added, "so it's lovely to come over and collect this and take it back to the team." Asked what the dynamic is like between Peter Capaldi's doctor and Clara, Coleman wasn't giving much away, saying, "It's far too early." "We pretty much pick up where we left off at Christmas and we carry on the story straight away after the regeneration so we're dealing with that for the first episode," she added.

So, I've been getting dressed! Preschool has made my getting dressed record take a hit (when did 9am become so early?). But for parties, family dates, and Saturday my amount of 'real clothes' wearing has been sky high. Here are a few of the documented wears.
I'm peplum obsessed.
top: target
jeans: H&M
Dress: Forever 21
leggings: Nordstroms (gift from my mom)
Shoes: Forever 21
And this outfit is blurry, but the event was document worthy- WE WENT ON A DATE!
shirt: Romy (heyo- peplum!)
jeans: H&M, I pretty much only wear the $10 denim from there. They fit well, don't stretch too much, are the right price for being playdoughed/painted/milk soaked all the time, and I love the super dark wash.
(ladies night!)
dress: Nordstoms (gift from my madre!)
boots: Frye (year? ten? I still love them.)
Oh fall, tis the season to wear real clothes that I love. Stay tuned, more outfits coming!

Of course you can still crate him. I have a one year old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier who has been crated since he was seven weeks old. I do not crate him every time we leave, but if you feel that should be done, that's fine. I know someone who has a thirteen year old Beagle that they still crate. So, yes, it is not a problem as long as you have the right sized crate, and plenty of comfortable toys or blankets/bed inside.
Brutus answered on 6/16/10. Helpful? / 1
Of course you can! If you are comfortable crating your dog, then by all means, do it.
As long as you are dedicated, you can crate train any age of dog. Make sure that he understands that the crate means positive things. Start by feeding him his meals in the crate. Put treats in the crate for him to eat. Put his favorite toys in the crate for him to go in and play with. It needs to be a completely positive experience.
Some dogs will use their crate for their napping spot, a place to get away from it all, and many other reasons.
We no longer use a crate for our dog, but it is always out and available. We "test" her a few days every week to make sure she still understands the "crate" command, and she always receives a yummy snack when she abides by the command. She puts toys in it, plays in the crate, and has even been caught napping in the crate.
Crates can be a good tool as long as it isn't abused. Make it a game for you and your doxie!

Strawberry Letter- Is It Possible To Be In Love With Two Men
Hello Steve and Shirley,
I am a twenty four year old single mother of a beautiful two year old little girl. I work and go to school at this time. I'm a great mother and a very caring woman. Me and my daughter's dad have been separated for almost two years now and I am in a new relationship now. Me and my baby daddy get along good sometimes but we have our disagreements sometimes too. My problem is that I still love him and I love my boyfriend. I tell myself what is wrong with me, he left me and my daughter twice. I think about the good times we had. As for my boyfriend now. He has a two year old son and he is a great father. He has his flaws though. He don't have a driver license, he has been evicted so he can't get his own place, his car is always messed up, he has bad credit, and the list keeps going. He loves me, he holds me, and he takes care of me. Well not too long ago my baby daddy came to me when me and boyfriend were have problems and said that he missed the way things used to be between me and him. That blew my mind. I was gonna break up with my boyfriend and go back to my baby daddy. When I told my boyfriend that I didn't want to be with him, we worked things out. I don't know what to do. Its hard being around one man and thinking about another. Please HELP ME! I don't know what to do.

About Ferdinand Huddleston, MP
Family and Education bap. 10 July 1577,1 1st s. of William Huddleston† of Little Haseley, Oxon. and Millom Castle, Cumb. and his 1st w. Mary, da. of one Bridges of Glos.2 m. by 1603, Jane, da. of Sir Ralph Grey* of Chillingham, Northumb., 10s. (1 d.v.p.) 5da. (4 d.v.p.); 1 ch. illegit.3 suc. fa. 1628.4 d. c.1645.
Offices Held
Commr. subsidy, Cumb. 1624.5
Esq. of the body extraordinary 1631-8.6
Biography Huddleston's ancestors had held Millom Castle since the middle of the thirteenth century, and first represented Cumberland in 1467.7 The estate and castle, 'a lord-like living' worth over £800 a year, were hopelessly encumbered by Huddleston's father, 'a great swashbuckler ... and great gamester', and the progenitor of 14 children.8 Huddleston moved out of Millom Castle on his marriage, and mainly resided at Romaldkirk in the North Riding thereafter.9 It was noted in 1607 that neither he nor his wife came often to church, though they were not presented for outright recusancy until 1633.10 From 1614 Huddleston leased a forge at Ulpha from his father at £300 a year, but only ever paid one year's rent.11 He presumably sought entry to Parliament in order to obtain protection from his numerous creditors, and was elected knight of the shire in 1624, probably with the support of Lord William Howard of Naworth. However, the courtier Sir Robert Banastre petitioned against Huddleston's return, citing 20 outlawries against him.12 On 19 May the Commons agreed to omit Huddleston's name from the list of Cumberland papists to be presented to the king, since, like his father, he had never served on the commission of the peace.13 John Glanville* reported Banastre's petition to the Commons on 28 May, when it was resolved, in accordance with the precedent set in the case of Sir Francis Goodwin*, that his election was valid; but Parliament was prorogued on the following day, and dissolved by the death of King James before it could meet again.14
During his sojourn in the capital Huddleston fathered the illegitimate child of 'a gentlewoman under the name of his niece', whom he established in lodgings at Waltham Cross, initially accompanied by his son and a servant; however, he declined to take responsibility for the bastard, and she found herself with little recourse but to petition the House of Lords against a rogue 'so mightily allied, and of so great a power in that part of the country where he lives that he can have no writ served against him'.15 In 1625 a yeoman of the guard, who leased land in Millom from the duchy of Lancaster, complained of harassment by Huddleston and his followers. Ordered to desist by the judges of assize, Huddleston remained refractory and obstinate, and on 4 Feb. 1628 he was taken into custody by the Privy Council, who settled the case by inducing both parties to disclaim their title to the disputed property.16 Huddleston inherited Millom a few weeks later, together with his father's mountainous debts. He at first refused to contribute to the Forced Loan, but was eventually obliged to comply, and to compound for knighthood paying £60 in 1631.17
Huddleston sought the protection of the Court, but had difficulty in securing an honorary appointment in the royal Household; the first warrant, dated 25 Nov. 1630, was cancelled, and it was not until the following April that the lord chamberlain was authorized to swear him in.18 He strove to increase the income from his Yorkshire property by overthrowing tenant right, but his financial woes were far from over.19 In 1634 Chancery ordered him to pay £1,800 to a brother and three sisters in accordance with his father's will.20 By this time he had run up a debt of £580 to the Court of Wards, and the case remained undecided in 1640.21 He was struck off the list of the Household in 1638 for failing to pay the annual registration fee of £5.22 Having lost his last defence against his creditors, he probably died in a debtors' prison some time between 1643, when he was mentioned in the will of his son Ralph, and 1646, when his widow was in occupation of Millom Castle.23 His eldest son Sir William, a royalist commissioner of array and colonel in the northern army, contested Cumberland after the Restoration; but none of his descendants entered Parliament.

This year we wanted something different for Valentine's Day. As much as we love candy — we love cereal just a little more.
I bought packs of mini boxes of cereal at Wal-Mart for $3-4 each. Each pack had 8 boxes in it. (My mom used to buy these when I was little – we loved them!)
Then I made some little tags and voila. Cereal lovers dream.
Want the tags? Here you go!
(I'm not the most technical person out there so I just saved it as a .jpeg and then emailed it to my local Office Max. They printed the tags on card stock for me for cheap! And they came out great!)

You're my lucky charm! – Lucky Charms
You bring cheer to my day. – Cheerios

Ireland Heatrick knows what a good basketball player looks like. That is what the fifth grader at Knoxville's Gibbs Elementary School was thinking as Tennessee sophomore forward Renaldo Woolridge stepped into her classroom Monday morning.
"I didn't know he was coming when I got to school but I found out later that morning," Ireland said. "I am not a huge basketball fan, but I think I can recognize a good player when I see one."
Woolridge took time out of his schedule to visit with Gibbs' fifth graders and speak to them about topics ranging from his hip-hop career to the importance of chasing a dream.
"I told them about using writing as an expression of who you are and what you're feeling," Woolridge said. "I have reached a step in my life where I have achieved part of what I want to achieve. But every day I get up and work harder to reach my dreams.
"I told them they have to have that mindset, and the only person stopping you from trying is you. I wanted to tell them that so they could have someone to look up to. I had a few people like that when I was their age, and that direction really helped me a lot."
According to Lisa Stalans, a Gibbs Elementary fifth-grade teacher, Woolridge's passion for writing really stood out to her and her class.
"I was impressed with his passion for writing and his willingness to share that with the kids," Stalans said.
"That was one of the most touching parts," Brian Russell, associate director of advising for UT's College of Arts and Sciences, said. "When he talked about writing and how he used it to express himself, he urged the students to do the same.
"He said it helps get everything off your chest, rather than be violent or do something else their parents wouldn't like. (Expressing your thoughts constructively) helps you regardless of what you are going through."
The 6-foot-8-inch Vols hoops star used his influence to stress to the students the importance of working hard in school and overcoming obstacles to achieve those dreams.
"He talked about having ups and downs in everything you do," Russell said. "He talked about how he was starting for the basketball team a few weeks ago but recently hasn't played as much.
"He said that it wasn't going to deter him from accomplishing his dreams--the students really got into that message."
And it meant a lot to Ireland and her classmates to have the Los Angeles native reach out to them with such an encouraging message.
"I liked that he is a basketball player but he isn't only a basketball player," she said. "He works hard in school and he is a writer and a rapper, too. After he left, my friends and me were talking about how great it was to see someone like that."
After Woolridge had been speaking to the kids for more than half an hour, the crowd of students began fidgeting a little. But that all stopped when one student asked Woolridge to rap one of his melodious tunes.
"One kid asked me to rap and I did," Woolridge, also known by his hip-hop moniker--Swiperboy, said. "It was crazy because the whole time I was talking they were all fidgeting and whispering a little. But when I started to rap the first line of my song `College Hoops Time,' they all got really still and quiet."
After taking a few pictures and signing some autographs, Woolridge left the classroom to head back to the UT campus. But his message resonated with the students long after he left.
"He said to never neglect school," Ireland said. "I really love school, and when he said that I thought it was really amazing. To hear someone as gifted athletically as he is say that really meant a lot to me."

As there is no recognized breed standard for teacup Yorkshire terriers, the definition of these dogs is loose, including any dog from a Yorkshire lineage which is under 4 pounds at adult weight. Yorkshires bred to the AKC breed standard are between 4 and 7 pounds.Continue Reading
Adult dogs which are smaller than 4 pounds cannot be exhibited in dog shows as Yorkshire terriers, as they are outside the breed standard. This is to prevent the propagation of genetic health problems within the breed, to which smaller dogs are more prone. The Yorkshire terrier breed itself is considered a toy breed.Learn more about Dogs

Tiger basketball beats South Carolina behind O'Bryants career night
COLUMBIA, S.C. - Johnny O'Bryant had a career-high 30 points and 10 rebounds as LSU won for the fourth time in five games with a 64-46 victory over South Carolina on Thursday night, saddling first-year Gamecocks coach Frank Martin with a five-game losing streak - the longest of his college career.
O'Bryant, a 6-foot-9 sophomore, led the inside game for the Tigers (14-8, 5-6 Southeastern Conference), making 13 of 19 shots. It was the most points scored by a LSU player since Tasmin Mitchell had 38 against Auburn in 2010. O'Bryant reached double figure points and rebounds for the seventh time in the last eight games. And he wasn't alone in dominating underneath. Andrew Del Piero, a 7-3 center, added seven rebounds on 3-for-3 shooting. Jalen Courtney, a 6-8 forward, was 3 of 4 from the field with four rebounds.
Lakeem Jackson scored 10 points to lead the Gamecocks (12-12, 2-9).

I assume you have the same

are almost new (under 2000 miles). Unplowed to about 8 inches, and of course all conditions between that depth and different degrees of plowing. Packed down, loose, etc. The temperature fluctuated over the day/night between roughly 26 and 30. Heavy snow falling during most of the playing. We sought out the most difficult roads we could find. The largest crawling incline/decline slope was very exaggerated and quite unrealistic for most normal driving, a paved but unplowed private entrance.
As I indicated, the width was a surprising non-issue, which was my largest concern. And i had another x5 with me with dedicated 255 snows for direct comparison. We switched back and forth driving both cars and for what it's worth, all 3 drivers had the same reaction/opinion.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
With the playoffs around the corner, the 2011 NFL Draft has been set for the teams not playing in the postseason. For the first time since 2008, and just for the third time under Coach Bill Belichick, the Patriots will hold a pick in the top 20.
The Patriots have the rights to the Oakland Raiders' first round selection due to the Richard Seymour trade two seasons ago. The Raiders finished the 2010 season at 8-8, their highest win total since 2002, including an undefeated record (6-0) against AFC West opponents. The eight wins were good enough to give the Raiders the 17th pick in the 2011 draft.
Although initially many thought this pick would have net New England a top 10 selection, the Patriots are now in great position to either grab a rookie at a decent price, or trade the selection for future draft choices.
Any time you have a mid-round draft choice, there will be top tier talent available. The Patriots may look to add a skill position player as Alabama's running back Mark Ingram may be available. Wide receivers Julio Jones or Justin Blackman could drop and then you have a few wildcards.
Perhaps the Patriots look at the quarterback position and draft a developmental guy like Jake Locker or Cam Newton to learn behind Tom Brady. Perhaps a guy like Adrian Clayborn falls into the Patriots lap. Perhaps the Patriots pick the best available player in their eyes and "reach" for a Ras-I-Dowling or DeMarco Murray.
Nobody knows what New England will do, but we have a few months to speculate. Nonetheless, the Patriots are sitting pretty for the April draft.
Along with the 17th selection from Oakland, the Patriots will also have the 33rd pick, which is virtually as good as a first round selection, from the Carolina Panthers and the 74th choice via the Randy Moss deal to the Minnesota Vikings.
Here's the first round draft order.
1. Carolina Panthers
2. Denver Broncos
3. Buffalo Bills
4. Cincinnati Bengals
5. Arizona Cardinals
6. Cleveland Browns
7. San Francisco 49ers
8. Tennessee Titans
9. Dallas Cowboys
10. Washington Redskins
11. Houston Texans
12. Minnesota Vikings
13. Detroit Lions
14. St. Louis Rams
15. Miami Dolphins
16. Jacksonville Jaguars
17. Oakland Raiders
18. San Diego Chargers
19. New York Giants
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
21. Seattle Seahawks*
22. Kansas City Chiefs*
23. Indianapolis Colts*
24. Philadelphia Eagles*
25. Green Bay Packers*
26. New Orleans Saints*
27. Chicago Bears*
28. New York Jets*
29. Baltimore Ravens*
30. Pittsburgh Steelers*
31. Atlanta Falcons*
32. New England Patriots*
*- Subject to Playoffs
The Patriots picks are as follows. New England has nine total selections. The actual order where the Patriots are picking is subject to change due to their performance in the playoffs.
1st Round – 17 (OAK – Richard Seymour)
1st Round – 32*
2nd Round – 33 (CAR – 2010 3rd Round)
2nd Round – 64*
3rd Round – 74 (MIN – Randy Moss)
3rd Round – 96*
4th Round
5th Round
6th Round (NO – David Thomas)

From what I gather, I'm doing this retreat so wrong that it hardly qualifies as a retreat. I think I'm supposed to go sit in a room and keep silence, waiting for God to speak to me. But, to be honest, if I went off in a room and kept silence for days at a time, I would probably sleep for a couple of days and then start trying to dig a tunnel through the floor.
It's just not me.
My best idea of a retreat would be, if I had a horse, to saddle up and go for long meandering rides while I think and talk to God about what I'm thinking. I understand going off into the desert and wandering as a retreat. I can understand lying on your back and looking up at the stars. But locked inside four walls with a candle and a holy portrait? Not so much.
Since I don't have a horse, I play the piano. And I'm finding the piano fills me up with pleasure that seems holy and pure to me. I also care for the people I love. I read. I kibitz. I spend time with friends. But mostly, I talk to Jesus about what ails me.
A retreat for me is taking time to be with God and trusting that He wants to be with me as well. If He has something He wants me to do, He'll tell me.
I use the phrase that I am going to "seek the Lord" when I talk about these withdrawals into the Holy Spirit that I do from time to time because that phrase seems to make sense to the people who hear it.
But I don't "seek the Lord," for the simple reason that He hasn't gone anywhere. He's with me all the time. Sometimes I ignore Him for days on end and just go my way. When I do that, he's like a parent, watching while Her child plays and rambles; not interfering, but there.
I don't truly "seek the Lord" because all I have to do is what any one else has to do; acknowledge His presence and talk to Him about the things that are troubling me. There's no formula for interacting with the Holy Spirit. If you are a Christian, the Holy Spirit is with you and in you every moment of every day. He loves you and His viewpoint is much broader than yours.
One thing I have read in the book I'm using for this retreat (Consoling the Heart of Jesus) that I don't get at all is the rather tortured explanation as to why we need to console Jesus when He's in heaven. I was confounded by how difficult the thinkers the author quoted make this simple thing.
Here's my non-theological explanation for what I didn't know was a question: Jesus is God. He made everything, everywhere, including — get ready for this — time. If Jesus made time, He is outside of time. He is not part of our linear time that flows inexorably from one moment to the next in a steady measurable procession that you can, well, set your watch by.
My son and I had a discussion with another homeschooling mom back in the day about the first chapters of Genesis. I kept saying that, while the description in Genesis is true, it is expressed in poetic terms. Specifically, the word "day" does not refer to a 24 hour, solar day. First, there was no sun when God began His creation. Second, God is outside of time. The term "day" is a non sequitur to Him that He uses for the benefit of our understanding.
She didn't get it.
Finally, my 11-year-old son said, "I don't think God sees time as a line the way we do. I think He sees it as a dot."
That is probably pretty close to the truth in that God, being the creator of time, and being outside of time, sees all of creation, from beginning to end, constantly and as one whole. I don't think that when He says He knows our days and the future of our world, he is saying that He is predicting what will happen the way a prophet or seer would. I think in God's eye view the end and beginning and everything in between is an eternal now.
What does that mean to the idea of consoling Jesus for His sufferings while he is now in heaven and far from those sufferings? Just this: Everything is now to God. Jesus is at Calvary in the same way that, when the actual physical event occurred, He died for you and me two thousand years before we were born. It's not a trick of theology. It's a matter of perspective. God's perspective.
I think my rather odd ball way of retreating is an echo of that understanding of God. I met God when I was driving my car on the way to make a speech. The Holy Spirit filled me up with God's love in a moment and from that day to now, has never left me.
That experience and what I've learned from this continuous presence of the Holy Spirit, shapes the way I approach God and the way I do a retreat.
I drop out from public activities and go to a period of praying because I get battered up by life and I need the healing and solace that just being with the Lord gives me. I need to be loved and God never fails to love me when I just stop and let Him.
But I do not go into long periods of "discernment." I have learned that if God wants me to do something, I won't be able to get out of it. It's that simple: If He wants me to do something, He's gonna to tell me, and if I don't get the message, He'll keep on telling me until I do.
My job isn't to "discern." It's to obey. And there are times when that obedience is not cheap.
I do ask, and have been asking a lot during this retreat, things like "Was I wrong when I said that?" "Did I behave like a jerk?" "Do you want me to change about that?" I'm so willful and given to doing things on my own initiative that I need — and pray — for God to guide me away from doing the wrong thing while thinking it's the right thing.
But mostly, I find myself face to face with God and He changes me inside by loving me. I've said it many times: God does not change what we do. He loves us and that love changes what we want to do.
There's more, and I'll talk about it in the days ahead. But for now I want to emphasize one thing: Seeking God is like a child, crying out for its mother in the middle of the night. The minute you say you need Him, He is there. Because He was always there.
That was the experience I had at my conversion. He was there, right there, and He always had been there. I had willfully shut off my awareness of Him. But the moment I reached out, He was there.
All you have to do is trust and know that. Even in times of peril, grief, chaos or terror when the white noise in your head blots out everything, He is still there. You can't hear Him, because you are drowning Him out with your keening. But He is there, and He won't leave you.
You don't have to earn His love and you can't make Him stop loving you. Nothing you can do will stop Him from loving you and nothing you can do will make Him love you any more. You are His child.
Know that. Trust it.
And don't be afraid.


text: Hello my names dustin and I just picked up a 2006 STI. And im wondering if I could get some advice on the break-in period. All they told me at the dealer was to drive the tac no higher than 4grand for the first 500 miles and then after that only go up to 5grand til it hits 1000 miles. So im wondering does the break-in end at 1k or does it at a later mileage because I have heard of people saying that it takes 2,500 miles for break-in because of turbo related issues. Any advice would be appreciated thanks

Teachers and students at Chase Street Elementary School will soon be part of a ''mathematics education community'' thanks to a $51,890 federal grant and two University of Georgia professors.
UGA math education professors Paola Sztajn and Dorothy White will use the Eisenhower Higher Education grant to help strengthen Chase Street's math education program.
The Eisenhower Higher Education Program, a U.S. Department of Education initiative, is administered in Georgia through the University System Board of Regents.
Each fall, the Eisenhower program solicits requests for proposals from colleges and universities for projects designed to enhance mathematics and/or science teaching in elementary, middle or high schools. The program also accepts proposals designed to improve undergraduate teacher education programs.
Sztajn and White applied for the grant in January and were awarded the funds earlier this month.
Sztajn, a native Brazilian, moved to Athens in January 2000 and began working at Chase Street to become more familiar with the school and the school system in general.
''I wanted to become more familiar with the school system here, and Chase has such a high Hispanic population that it seemed like a natural place, given my background, for me to work,'' said Sztajn, who has a Ph.D. in math education from Indiana University.
''It's certainly not that Chase Street has a great need for a stronger math program -- I think every school could use more money to strengthen their math education program. I just believe in school-based reform and, after working there, I now believe in Chase, so I decided to implement something there.''
Sztajn said the main reason she and White selected Chase Street Elementary was because of active community involvement in the school.
''Part of what we are trying to develop is a mathematics education community where teachers can get together, talk about what is happening in their math classes and share teaching ideas,'' Sztajn said. ''Chase is already very community-based so it's just a great fit to initiate this type of learning community within the school there.''
Chase Street Elementary School Principal Jerri-Lynn Williams said Wednesday the money would help the school meet the varying learning needs of each student.
''We really want to be able to say to every parent that walks through the door that we will be able to meet the needs of their child, whatever those needs might be,'' Williams said.
''If you polled 10 people, seven of them would probably say they hate math -- and math is a wonderful, exciting tool that everyone needs for a successful life,'' Williams added. ''I want all of these kids to say they love math, and since not every child learns in the same way, we need to learn different ways to teach mathematics and other subjects so we can reach them more effectively.''
As part of the project, the school will form a ''mathematics leadership team'' comprising one teacher from each grade level, the gifted education teacher and the special education teacher.
That team will help teachers identify content and instructional areas within the mathematics curriculum where they need support, and use that information to help create a mathematics teaching plan for the school.
In addition, all math teachers will attend a national mathematics conference in the fall to discuss alternative assessment methods, and to discuss teaching mathematics in culturally diverse classrooms.
Throughout the coming school year, teachers will participate in grade-specific development work sessions where they will learn teaching techniques and tips from fellow teachers.
Throughout the year, Sztajn and White will continue to work with the school as consultants and liaisons to other math experts.
''We want to expose children to as much as we possibly can -- we want to work a little bit outside of the box,'' Williams said. ''Sometimes when kids struggle you tend to just look at the basics when you teach. We really want to go beyond the basics, reach these kids and challenge them to go further.''
