Dark Matters is a trilogy of Pocket VOY novels written by Christie Golden.
- Scientific theory holds that ninety percent of all matter in the universe is "dark matter," unable to be detected by ordinary means. The gravitational force of that mysterious material ensures the continuance of all reality, but now a cosmic conspiracy plans to use excess dark matter to bring about the death of the universe.

You might want to make sure you have all the dependencies installed. I see they call for python-devel which in ubuntu does not exist but python-all-dev does which says it provides all python development sources for your system. I see that none of the python dev packages are installed in my bt5 by default so I thought I would throw that out there.
Heres the pyrit installation wiki page with more info on compiling it.
Good Luck

I always thought Staghorn's whole antlers thing were really unique. I also find him interesting because of the past history and rivalry with Sagitar, who is one of my favorite NA characters.
I loved Staghorns voice in the cartoon, very unique in comparison to others and His battle antlers were a welcomed change from the norm. Staghorn always seemed like he could break off from the mutants and create his own little band of Troublemakers there on Denebria. I hope the 4h treat him and explain the missing eye for us ( hope that Sagitar did it),

Have to say this is probably the figure I am least looking forward to, at least because of what he looks like under his helmet. But I think in the end I will be okay, if the Horsemen do an awesome sculpt, which they no doubt will.

Enjoy my articles on action figures, Christianity, and much more on Infobarrel.
Staghorn had at least very good episodes under his belt: The Running of the Herd and Mutiny on the Mothership. He's like the Starscream of the Mutants, where he's the character who thinks that Flogg and Skeletor are inept leaders. He also has a feud with Sagitar.
NA sure likes it's animal references. We have Sagitar with horses, Tuskador with elephants and Staghorn with elks. Unfortunately, they gave these attributes to humanoid characters instead of making outright anthropomorphic characters like MOTU did.
Staghorn is another NA character (like Sagitar, Karatti, Hoove, Quake, Butthead, Artilla) who is better going off the animation model rather than the original toy. The original figure has a beer gut... Jetlag made the Mutants look much better.

^ I definitely agree with that. The cartoon versions of all the NA characters, both good and bad, were superior to the figure designs. I actually can't think of a single one where the figure was superior, except maybe Optikk...I thought he looked a bit plain on the show.
One of my favourites and most wanted from NA - he'd be easy to make into MOTUC style
This guy's an example of where I am repulsed by the vintage toy, but really excited to see how he is produced in the Classics line.
Elks are cool, and it'll probably be his horns that draw me in the most. I think they'll be techno horns, and that's fair. However, I am hoping they have a bio-tech feel to them though vs. the industrial look of the toon and vintage figure.
Even though he is a mutant, I'd like to see him made more sinister/hawkish and less.... well.... ugly in the face, imo. I'd like the closed eye and snaggleteeth to stay, just a change in the nose and bug-eye.
Can someone help me out though, what was the functionality of his horns? They seem to point down, were they more defensive than offensive?
Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.
He pointed them up and used them in combat against Sagitar, if I remember correctly.
"Yep! And now I'm gonna blast ya!"

My top want from the produced NA figures. The figure's face reminds me of a Van Gogh painting.
what race is staghorn? does he have violet purple skin or blue?
found some photos.
custom that i found

I don't think Staghorn was based on an elk.
I think he was based on a beetle whose name is EXACTLY "staghorn" beetle or stag beetle (scientific name : lucanus cervus), and who has pinchers that look like Staghorn's "helmet armor grid"
For a picture, see http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2304/...f9ca93ef_z.jpg
NA characters like Artilla, Butthead, Tuskador and Staghorn should be totally redesigned. I can't see them next to other MOTUC figures. Some already thought that Chief Carnivus or Count Marzo were "out of place" (personally, I don't think so, I think they look awesome), but with those NA characters, it would be much, much worse ! So a redesign is much needed for some NA characters, I think.

For Staghorn sure new Arms, Head and Armour need.
Legs are from Trap-Jaw but new boots like the NA version based of Keldors are need.
Staghorns mask move able or two heads
--- MOTUC need now General Darius --- Darius as MOTUC Topic
...if you are He-Ro² - Son of He-Man and MOTU Fan join the SoH Group
love his Australian accent from the show.
I think the toy has a much older looking face from the cartoon version.
which version choice do you suppose will be done?
Skeleton-Warriors, Ra-Jar, Spinwit, Rock Golem, General Tartaran, Hawke, Slob-Boar, King Agho, Hunga the Harpy, Sh'gora, Masks of Power Demons, Nocturna, Lizzor, Sagitar, Crimson Fury, Lodar, Vizar, Angast, Negator, King Miro, Melaktha, Crystal-Man, ABC Giants, Stridor, Road Ripper, Land Shark
He's lower down on my list of vintage Mutant's but I do still want him and would buy him.

I think, the 4HM proved, how they can improve NA characters. This one or Butthead won't be different.
I think this guy will be a real challenge to make him look good. Just not impressed with that design of this guy. I'm sure the Four Horsemen can pull it off, but it will be a challenge for sure.
I'm sure the Fab Four could do as they have with all the NA figures thus far and knock him out of the park.
The one thing we keep running into with NA, though, is that the bad guy designs tend to be more visually intriguing than the good guys, and that may be why the NA Classics mutants are so badly outnumbering the NA good guys right now. Flipshot turned out great, but there is generally a lot more for the Horsemen to work with when it comes to the mutants. I'm sure they could turn out a great Hydron, but someone like Staghorn plays so well into their strengths as sculptors and designers that he'd almost have to eclipse most of the NA heroes as a figure.

This is such a weird character. I can't wait to see how the Horsemen nail this one!

I liked this character for having a mind of his own. very cool. not always a follower. one episode he formed a mutiny against Floggs command. Also what was cool about him was his rivalry with Sagitar. When a battle was personal he wouldn't fight using blasters he preferred his own body as the weapon.

Now this would rock as a classic. He had a weird design, which lends to the line completely. I admit, I'm not familiar with NA much but he would be very cool.
Why is he the only evil mutant that doesn't have double letters in his name? Oh and Crita I guess. I wasn't all that familiar with these characters but can't wait to have them in MOTUC and was trying to remember who was on who's side. I thought I had it there for a second with the double letter for the mutants until he came along and Crita and Artilla threw me off too
After Quakke, I would gladly welcome a Staghorn! But I think he looks too bland in Jetlag's version... I want the monstrosity that was the classic toy to get the faithful remake treatment in Classics.
Bring him on. But honestly he's not on my priority list of Space Mutants. I'd like Flogg, NA Skeletor, Crita, Hoove, Lizorr and Crystoll first (in that order). Then Staghorn, Quakke, Butthead and the Mutant Troopers.

Become a magistrate
1. What magistrates do
Magistrates are volunteers who hear cases in courts in their community.
Each case is usually heard by 3 magistrates, including a magistrate who is trained to act as a chairperson.
A legal adviser in the court gives advice on the law and makes sure the magistrates follow the right procedures.
Criminal cases
All criminal cases begin in a magistrates' court.
Magistrates pass the most serious crimes (for example murder, rape and robbery) to the Crown Court. Magistrates decide if the defendant should be:
- kept in custody - for example in a police or court cell
- let out on strict conditions - for example to keep away from named places or people
Magistrates deal with crimes like:
- minor assaults
- motoring offences
- theft
- handling stolen goods
Magistrates can give punishments such as:
- fines
- unpaid work in the community
- prison for up to 6 months (or up to 12 months for more than 1 crime)
Civil and family cases
Magistrates also hear some civil and family cases involving:
- unpaid Council Tax
- TV licence evasion
- child custody and adoption
- taking children into care
Only experienced magistrates who have had special training can hear family cases.

Surprised this hasn't been on here yet. Of course the rumours have been rife for a long time but Dana confirmed a UFC event in Manchester in the Autumn:

Here is quick and fun Grinchy-good pattern for you! I made these Grinch Gloves last spring and my 8 year-old daughter absolutely loves them! I had this Dream in Color green yarn and some yummy green roving and all I could think of was the How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I love those Grinchy hands with the furry fingertips. These are so fun. The heart I placed in one of the palms is for the Grinch's growing heart at the end of the story.
The heart also reminds me of the children's book, The Kissing Hand. Have you read this? It is a beautiful story about a mom raccoon planting a secret kiss on the palm of her child raccon's hand to keep him feeling safe and loved all day long when the child is away from home. When the child puts his hand on his cheek his mother's love rushes straight through to his heart giving him comfort throughout the day. My son's teacher read this to his class and drew hearts on the children's palms. The kids loved this. The gloves could be made in any color with the heart on the palm as a symbol of your love. It is a sweet, heartfelt gesture.
Grinch Gloves
3-4 yrs. (5-6 yrs., 7-8 yrs.)

Jennifer Aniston, Prince William + 10 More Hot Baldies
Jennifer Aniston says Will's balding head is hot!
-Nora Breznai
In a recent interview, Jennifer Aniston explained there is nothing wrong with Prince William's receding hairline and "he should let whatever's happening happen."
Here's an excerpt of the interview with Lisa Snowdon of Britain's Capital FM radio:
Lisa Snowdon: There's rumor in the palace that they've been saying Prince William should get a hair transplant. What do you think about that?
Jennifer Aniston: Who's "they"?
LS: The people in the palace.
JA: The people in the palace?
LS: Yeah, they're saying to do hair and teeth is fine because it's completely cosmetic. What's your take?
JA: I think he should just let whatever's happening happen. Don't you? Well, now if we see him with a hair transplant, we're going to be like, "Oh, he had a hair transplant"…I think there's nothing wrong with it, like Ed Harris, come on. Gorgeous.
So true, Jen! So true.
Read Wedding Bells for Jennifer Aniston?
So who says a man has to have luscious long locks to be sexy? Aniston thinks bald is pretty hot and she's not alone. Here are 10 other sexy bald guys…
1. Bruce Willis is hot! He typically stars in action packed flicks such as the Die Hard series, Armageddon and The Fifth Element, but has had funny roles like The Whole Nine Years.
2. Vin Diesel is the definition of bald and beautiful! Those abs, arms, eyes and sexy voice are enough to drive any Betty wild.
3. Tyrese is one smoking hot actor and former model. Swoon.
4. CNN's Ali Velshi is a smart stud. He knows all things business and money.
5. Sean Connery may be 81, but he's still got it! The 007 actor was named the "Sexiest Man of the Century" in 1999 at the age of 69.
John Malkovich, Taye Diggs and more hotties up next!

Great tight hold!
Great clip but pricey
By dwost
from Huron, OH
Great money clip. I've had more than I care to recall and this one does the trick. Time will tell if it maintains the grip. It's stated that their process has created a very strong and resilient SS that will withstand use. We'll see about that. I typically use the clip solo with bills and then when I get down to a few clip the bills and my slim card wallet together. So far it's a very easy to use design. My only complaint is it's a bit pricey for what you get but it's not outrageous.
The absolute best
By Bruce

I have purchased every type of money clip I could find for years. This is far better than anything I have found. This is the ultimate. It is light, slim and good looking. It hold everything I need for the day so I don't need to carry a bulky wallet.

My husband has an aversion to wallets so for the past 25-plus years he has been using an office/paper clip to hold his money and cards. Embarrassing to say the least! HA! I stumbled upon your money clip in your catalog and wasn't sure he would make the switch. After the first day of use he called me from the office to tell me he LOVES the clip and it is perfect! HE is even surprised how much he likes it. For the man who does not like wallets THIS is THE gift to get! It's easy to use, slim, compact, smart and stylish!

School District's Commitment to All Students' Education Pays Off
Oct 20, 2010
Gwinnett County, Georgia Tuesday received the prestigious Broad Prize for Urban Education, the largest education award in the country. The prize rewards urban school districts that show the strongest commitment to student achievement and narrowing the achievement gap. Gwinnett County outperformed similar school districts in Georgia, and narrowed the achievement gap between African-American and white students in reading at all grade levels to among the lowest in the state. The school district also narrowed the achievement gap between Hispanic and white students.
Gwinnett County's accomplishments are particularly noteworthy because the district experienced significant demographic changes in recent years. The immigrant population in Georgia increased by 233 percent from 1990 to 2000 and an additional 58 percent between 2000 and 2008. In Gwinnett county, more than 1 in 4 young children lives in an immigrant family.
Gwinnett County has demonstrated innovation and commitment to young people at all levels. In 2005, I visited an elementary school there and sat in a kindergarten transition team meeting. Recognizing the changing demographics of the community, the school was just beginning to look at kindergarten entry as an opportunity to connect with newcomer families. The team included community-based child care and Head Start providers who had not previously been involved with school partners in any formal way. With funding from the SPARK initiative, six elementary schools in the district began holding Kindercamp programs for children entering kindergarten to address school transition. The program included parent workshops, which were available in Spanish and English.
To sustain and expand the program, Gwinnett set aside district Title I funds to support kindergarten transition work in 25 Title I elementary schools. The funds supported a district Title I specialist to work with school transition teams, including community-based child care partners, and the KinderCamp program for families. The district has demonstrated that our learning systems can provide the tools that all young people need to succeed and effectively engage families in the process. In the earliest years, it begins with a commitment to recognizing and addressing the unique needs of families, as Gwinnett County did by reaching beyond the school doors and embracing community partners.
CLASP congratulates Gwinnett on this Broad Prize-and is happy to see a district that has made strategic investments in young children recognized for its accomplishments!

WATCH: Beyonce jump off a building
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Beyoncé took a break from The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, recently, to get in touch with her inner daredevil. On Friday, the 32-year-old posted a video of her free-fall jump — 192 meters (that's 630 feet) — from the Sky Tower in Auckland, New Zealand. The jump is the highest one in the country and sends its participants down at a whopping 52 miles per hour!
Last week the "Love on Top" singer shared a snapshot of herself posing before she took the plunge, captioning the pic, "Freefall in New Zealand!" She even posted another shot of herself as she leaned over the tower's edge with the gorgeous skyline in front of her.
Check out the vid to see Beyoncé's brave leap:

LONG BEACH - Beth Ewry says she didn't come to the 38th annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach on Sunday to watch a race. She came for the food.
But not the usual grub of hamburgers, hot dogs and kettle corn. Ewry was drawn by the food trucks and their gourmet offerings.
"I've never seen a race in person, and I'm excited, but it's really about the food trucks," said the 28-year-old Los Angeles resident. "I had a delicious butter-poached, lobster-grilled cheese sandwich."
This year was the first time the mobile restaurants were permitted inside the racetrack, and 24 of them were parked near Linden Avenue and Shoreline Drive. The food ranged from soul and Greek food to fried potatoes, cupcakes and fried chicken.
Ewry came for the food trucks, but several thousand other people came to watch the street race, the third in the IZOD Indy Car Series, which includes the Indy 500.
The 1.968-mile temporary road course winds its way around the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center and The Pike. Concrete barriers are put in place and grandstands sit along south Pine Avenue, Seaside Way, Shoreline Drive and Aquarium Way.
Estimated attendance this year was 170,000 over three days, about 5,000 less than last year, said Jim Michaelian, president and CEO of the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach.
The main culprit? Friday's rain, wind and chilly temperatures.
"As of Thursday, we were tracking about 1 percent ahead of last year," Michaelian said. "Then the rain hit us.
But Saturday made up for it, and (Sunday) was a good day. Overall, it was a satisfying weekend."
The last time it rained during Grand Prix weekend was 2004, but it has never rained on the race day, Sunday.
On Friday, vendors held down tents to keep them from flying away, and race fans ducked into the Lifestyle Expo to stay warm. The food trucks village shut down early, and the autograph session with drivers was moved inside the Convention Center. Friday's concert with Mexican synth-pop band Belanova, scheduled for outside the Terrace Theatre, was moved inside the theater.
Some of the scheduled practices and qualifiers - including the Toyota Pro/Celebrity qualifier and the IndyLights practice - were either cut short or canceled.
Sunday's sunny skies and mild temperatures in the mid-60s were a welcome change of pace.
Most of the fans on Sunday were crowded into the grandstands along Shoreline Drive, but some viewers walked around the track.
One of those fans was Chuck Almgren, 50, of Costa Mesa.
Almgren, who attended his first race nine years ago, came with two friends and their two young kids.
"It's fun," Almgren said. "It's getting out with friends."
Brad Hillinger, 60, of Malibu was attending his fifth race.
"It's a good event," said Hillinger, who brought his girlfriend, Dana Fineman, 52, also of Malibu.
Fineman was watching her first race.
"It's amazing," Fineman said, as the cars roared along Shoreline Drive near Pine Avenue.
Saturday and Sunday's sunny weather was a boom for the food trucks village, too.
About 3,000 people visited the mobile restaurants on Saturday, while Sunday customers were between 5,000 and 7,000, said Patricia Harding, owner of the Irvine-based Cluster Truck Events, who organized the food truck village.
"We had good foot traffic Saturday, but it's better today," Harding said.
The most popular trucks were the ones serving gourmet cupcakes (some of the flavors were pumpkin, chocolate marshmallow and banana dark chocolate), fried chicken and Greek food.
While the food trucks enjoyed brisk business, other restaurants had mixed results.
"Friday was tough, but Saturday made up for it. People were in good spirits," said Kurt Shoemaker, general manager at The Yard House.
At 2 p.m. Sunday, however, it was slow, he said.
"We hope it picks up.
Maybe people are watching the race longer and will come by later."
Over at Toyko Wako, general manager Brian Chang said business was so so.
"We don't do a lot of extra business on the big race day," he said. "People would rather sit and drink and watch the race than have a sit-down meal." email@example.com, 562-714-2098, twitter.com/zonkelpt

Landing a job is never easy - even in good times.
But in today's economy employers are running job seekers through the wringer with multiple interviews, complex personality tests, ad hoc projects and a myriad of other requirements.
"It's really frustrating for people," said Cynthia Shapiro, a Woodland Hills-based career strategist and author of the book, 'What Does Somebody Have to Do to Get a Job Around Here?'
"It's taken a lot of people by surprise. They don't know how to handle it."
With some 11.7 million Americans still out of work, companies have come to realize they can be picky, she said. Many businesses tightened their budgets and scaled back operations in the wake of the recession, Shapiro said, but now they're in need of more manpower.
"They've been running leaner and meaner, but they've finally been able to scrape the money together to hire someone," she said. "The pressure that puts on job candidates is enormous. It's not like, 'Oh, let's hire someone.' It's like a saviour coming in. They hope this person will change everything. They've put together totally unrealistic ideals of what they want " they're looking for something that doesn't exist."
Candidates are often forced to endure multiple interviews - sometimes as many as eight - in their quest to land a job, according to Shapiro.
"They'll go through a real stringent HR screening, a technical screening, aptitude testing, and then they'll be interviewed by a variety of employees and executives," she said. "They may be asked to do business presentations and even solve problems that can sometimes take weeks to put together."
Michael Macho, division president for BIS Computer Solutions Inc. in La Crescenta, said his company is in the midst of doing interviews to fill about 10 positions. BIS does software development and IT solutions.
"We definitely have multiple interviews because it's hard to find out how much someone knows in just one session," he said. "You want to find out how someone programs, and when you try to vet these kinds of people and their skill sets it's best to spread it out over multiple interviews."
Macho said his company typically conducts four interviews per candidate - providing that they show promise in the first session. He admits the process can be intimidating for some.
"Candidates who have been working in the IT field are probably used to it," he said. "But for someone coming right out of college, they may find it difficult. Their professors probably didn't tell them about this."
Mona Dhillon, who is in charge of human resources for OpenX, a Pasadena-based provider of digital and mobile advertising technology, said her company typically does a pre-screening, followed by a regular interview.
"We try to keep it to less than two interviews, but an applicant could talk to four or five people in one day," she said. "They are speaking to multiple people."
Shapiro said the basic requirements for most jobs have been broadened because of reduced budgets and companies trying to do more with fewer workers.
"The way people used to work was more specialized," she said. "You got a specialty degree and that was reflected on your resume. But companies today are looking for a lot of flexibility - more like a jack of all trades. Many businesses can only hire one marketing person, for example, so now that person needs to do everything."
Cara Eichorn can identify with that. Eichorn used to head a call center for Countrywide but left in early 2007 when it became obvious the company was in trouble.
Last summer she finally secured full-time work at another call center in the San Fernando Valley. But during her years of searching and picking up contract work she endured some pretty intense job interviews.
"Some job descriptions are shooting for the moon, so to speak," the Burbank resident said. "They want an individual who can do everything, and that may not be realistic. It's great that you are looking for the perfect candidate, but how long will you look for that person who is probably already working - and probably in another country?"
Eichorn spent much of her out-of-work time as a volunteer for Women at Work, a Pasadena-based career and job resource center. When she did land job interviews, many turned into marathon sessions.
"I would have these intense interviews that were quite lengthy," she said. "Whether it was with one person or multiple people, they would often last two and a half or three hours - sometimes triple that. I felt like I generated some interest or they wouldn't have taken that much time out of their day. But my hopes were dashed many times."
Sometimes, she also felt used. "In some cases I was asked to put some information together for something," Eichorn said. "I realized that the employer was trying to tap my knowledge base ... but they weren't quite willing to pay me."
That doesn't surprise Shapiro. "I had a client who went through five really major interviews, and they were not close to home," she said. "At the end he was asked to solve a problem the company was having and he had two weeks to do it. So after all of that they filed all of these people into a room one at a time - and no one ever heard back. They were just using them for free labor."
Genine Wilson, vice president of the greater Los Angeles region for the Kelly Services staffing agency, said companies are going to great pains to ensure they find a good fit. Once a candidate is deemed to have the necessary "hard skills" that are required, they are further evaluated, she said.
"They're looking at the soft skills - how well do you fit in with our culture and will we like hanging out with you?" Wilson said. "And a lot of people are involved in the hiring process. Candidates are meeting with so many different parts and levels of the organization ... it's sort of a hire by vote."
Those who make it through the gantlet and get hired typically need to do some renegotiation, according to Shapiro.
"You cannot take the job as written - it's often too much," she said. "Once you get the formal written offer it means they have fallen in love with you. At that point you need to renegotiate what your job will be. You can say, 'All of these things are great but we can't get it all done in the first year. Let's figure out a plan to get it done.'"
Those fortunate enough to land a job will still face challenges in trying to meet company expectations. But scores of others, like Ci's Avilia, 45, of Duarte are still looking for work.
Avilia recently secured a contract position with Women at Work. But that job won't last forever, and there's no guarantee it will lead to something more permanent.
"I'll be taking their existing data from different software and converting it into a new software program," she said. "I've been looking for quite a while and I wasn't even getting callbacks. Women at Work helped me revamp my resume, and I got this job through volunteering there."

Strong Start for Children Campaign
May 10, 2013
President Obama's Early Learning Initiative:
The President's Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 budget proposal calls for historic investments to expand access to high quality early learning programs through a comprehensive birth-to-five early education agenda.
Through companion investments in the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services, the President's initiative includes the following:
- Preschool for All - $75 billion in mandatory funding across 10 years to support universal access to state preschool programs for low- and middle-income families. Additionally, $750 million in discretionary funding would be available in FY 2014 as development grants to states to create or strengthen their early education systems in preparation for the Preschool for All initiative.
- Home Visiting - $15 billion over 10 years to expand home visiting programs. Home visiting programs provide family support and connect children and their parents to resources during a critical development period for young children.
- Early Head Start-Child Care Partnerships - $1.4 billion to support Early Head Start-Child Care Partnerships. These will provide increased access to comprehensive, high quality child care for infants and toddlers.
The expanded preschool access and home visiting components of the proposal would be paid for through increased tobacco taxes, also included in the President's budget. In addition, the plan calls for new investments in the Child Care and Development Block Grant, Part C of IDEA (Grants for Infants and Families), and additional programs.
Together with our early childhood partners, CLASP is participating in the Strong Start for Children: Building America's Future campaign to advance the president's early learning proposal.
CLASP Resources:
- Making Pre-Kindergarten Work for Low-income Families This 2007 policy brief addresses how to ensure maximum access to pre-kindergarten for children in working families, especially low-income children and highlights key strategies to address the needs of low-income working families.
- All Together Now: State Experiences In Using Community-Based Child Care to Provide Pre-Kindergarten This 2009 policy brief looks at the emergence of the mixed delivery model, in which pre-kindergarten is delivered in community-based settings and schools. It describes principal approaches to state implementation of the mixed delivery model.
- Better Outcomes for All: Promoting Partnerships between Head Start and State Pre-K This 2007 publication examines how Head Start and state pre-kindergarten programs can work together to better serve young children and their families.
Home Visiting
- CLASP's home visiting work focuses on opportunities for connections between home visiting and early childhood settings. Most of our focus on extending home visiting to family, friend, and neighbor caregivers (FFN), including a toolkit for states interested in home visiting-FFN partnerships.
Early Head Start-Child Care Partnerships
- Expanding Access to Early Head Start CLASP, together with ZERO TO THREE (ZTT) release this report, which highlights how states are using innovative funding, policies, and partnerships to expand the critically important Early Head Start (EHS) program and better meet the needs of more low-income children and their families. Through interviews with state administrators, CLASP and ZTT identified 23 states with state-EHS and have developed in-depth state profiles describing nine of these initiatives across eight states.
- What State Leaders Should Know About Early Head Start This paper reviews 11 key aspects of how the Early Head Start (EHS) program works and includes considerations for state leaders. The paper serves as an introduction to the program for state policymakers.
- Supporting Our Youngest Children: Early Head Start Programs in 2010 This policy brief examines the data from the Program Information Reports (PIR) that all Early Head Start (EHS) programs must submit to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In 2010, Early Head Start saw its largest increase in enrollment in its history. EHS families continued to access services at a high rate and children continued to be connected to medical and dental services. Challenges continue to exist as teachers' salaries remain stagnant and a smaller percentage of teachers have an associate's degree or higher in 2010 compared to 2009 and 2006.
- Head Start Fact Sheets These fact sheets present state-by-state and national Head Start PIR Data on all Head Start programs in the country - including preschool programs, Early Head Start, and Migrant and Seasonal Head Start. Click on a state to access their fact sheet.

Post subject: Analyzing Possible Trade
There have been rumors, mostly on ExtremeSkins.com, that there is some sort of agreement in place involving Rod Gardner and Tampa Bay's 5th pick. In order to make that trade make any sense, we would probably have to include our 4th rounder.
Personally I would do this trade in a minute, but I know some of you are proponents of trading down, so I will explain my rationale.
Let me qualify this by saying if we had the ability to move down and be assured of getting Carlos Rogers in the first and Justin Tuck with a 2nd rounder we would acquire, I would probably say that is my number one option. But assuming that won't happen and assuming Williams won't fall to 9, I like this idea of the TB trade.
Williams is my number one target in this draft, as he is for most Redskin fans I think. Only Edwards would stack up to Williams for me. Thus, I would do a lot to get him. If we give up Gardner and our fourth-rounder to move up to get him, it will be like trading a late 3rd and an early/mid 4th to move up to 5 from 9, which is good value for us. Now many people will say at this point, "We can't afford to give up draft picks." The question that needs to be asked is: what wouldl we get with these picks we would be giving up?
We are all pretty much in agreement that our holes are at WR, CB, MLB, and DE. If we held on to our picks and traded Gardner for a late 3rd or 4th, we would have 4 picks in the first 4 rounds, which is pretty convenient. Assume that we take Pac-Man Jones since he is the best value at 9. The problem, and the reason why I don't think we have a whole lot of use for these extra picks, is that there isn't any kind of value for a DE or MLB in the 3rd or 4th round. We won't find any players at those positions in those rounds. Those picks would essentially become either bigtime reaches or would be used for depth, which I don't feel justifies missing out on a stud. I would much prefer a draft in which we get Mike Williams in the first and a CB like Stanley Wilson or Domonique Foxworth in the third to a draft in which we have two other picks that probably would not be very useful.
I hope I've explained it clearly enough. I'm sure people will have opposing opinions, so let me know.

I would do the trade in a hearbeat for a legitamate shot at Edwards or Williams. A premium CB isn't worth the investment and here is why. Greg Williams creates overachievers. Why blow the load on a position where all we really need is a true #2 CB? I love the idea of a trade up and look at draft day trades and at players cut after the draft to fills holes (Andre Dyson, CB, Jamie Sharper, MLB, we need another TE too.)

This trade would have to go down on draft day because we would need to make sure Mike Williams was still available.
Let me just reiterate that this is all rumor at this point, nothing concrete. I was merely saying that I would do this if no really enticing trade-down presented itself.

ExtremeSkins.com had an interview with Cerrato where he said that they trading up is out of the question. That was before the combine, but I still don't think Gibbs is the trade up type. He's more of the get more picks type IMO.

Yeah I read that interview as well, but I'm not sure I buy that as concrete in any way, for several reasons.
First, we all know there is a lot of stuff out there that is false at this point, and we also know that every team is out there trying to find out the strategies of their opponents. It would be INCREDIBLY imbecilic of Cerrato to just give away information like that if it was true, even on a somewhat small-time site like ExtremeSkins. The fact is, other teams will have some people out trolling the internet for any clue as to what their opponents will do, and I doubt Cerrato is dumb enough to tip them off to the fact that we aren't open to trading up. It seems almost more likely that he is
to trick everyone into thinking we won't trade up. I'm not saying that's the case, but it might be.
Second, with all due respect to Vinny Cerrato, we know that he isn't the one "wearing the pants" in the Redskins' FO relationship. If Gibbs really wants a guy, Snyder will do what is necessary to go get him, regardless of Vinny's input. And at the time of that interview, it would have been completely impossible to say whether Gibbs was going to really love a player coming out.
So I guess my main point there was to say take Cerrato's interview with a grain of salt. I have tried to say the same thing to the people over at ExtremeSkins, but they seem unwilling to accept the fact that Cerrato may have been misleading them. We will see soon enough, I suppose.

Would you guys be willing to trade arrington at all. This would be the trade:
The Packers #24 and first 2nd rounder from New Orleans along with KGB for Arrington and our fourth.

I remember reading an article saying that it'd be nearly impossible to trade Arrington due to his salary and the cap hit that would partake. the number 24, overall pick, along with Kareem and a second round pick doesn't sound shabby, but I haven't been following KGB's career at all. I've heard good things about him, but I don't know too much about him.

once and for all, the redskins are not going to take a receiver. They appear to be quite content with what the have versus a late round pick.
1. trade down - maybe twice ( Remember Ramsey?)
2. Shawn merriman - when a big bad monster is after you you don't usually have time to throw 30 yard spirals.
3. Antrell Rolle - First of all he has a lot of L's in his name which is always handy, and he is the drafts real shut down corner

First off, welcome to the board man. We need more Skins fans around here.
I can see your point, and it is certainly valid to an extent, but I just don't feel there is a good reason to be content with our WR corps as it is. Neither of our top 2 WRs has the ability to shed jams in any way shape or form, and we will be eaten up by teams that play physical, press man-to-man coverage. If we had an option of getting Mike Williams, I would do so in an instant because he will actually be able to exploit that, as well as allow Moss to move to the slot where he is so effective.
Trading down is another good option, and either of those players would be a nice addition, but I think those should be fallback options if we simply cannot acquire Williams.

I go back and forth on the trade down issue. I think we may be able to trade down a few spots and still get Rogers but moving down 2-3 spots prob doesn't warrant a 2nd rounder. We need a young DE and I'd LOVE Merriman at #9 especially since I'm a UMCP alumnus. But we also need a young WR. Maybe if we get Merriman we can get J.R Russell in the 3rd. He's a big, tall pretty fast receiver. Maybe Foxworth (I think that's his name) will be there in the 4th. That would be two from the area and two that filled needs. We'll see, I'm getting pretty psyched!

I think that our only possible trade-down that will net us Carlos Rogers is with the Texans. And I think it is plausible for sure. The Texans desperately need a franchise LT, and have been very open about that fact. Thus, they would probably be willing to move up in order to lock up a stud like Barron. And, since they stole a 3rd rounder from Dallas for Drew Henson, they might be willing to part with their 2nd rounder in order to do it. What would be great is if there started to come some noise from Detroit that they want to take Barron. If the Texans thought they were going to narrowly miss their man again, they might be willing to take the hit in a trade with us. They would still have 2 remaining first day picks, and would have their number one target in the bag. I think its possible, anyway. Then we would take Rogers at 13 and BPA at either WR, DE, or MLB at 47. Preferably DE, but I doubt any of the studs would be left. Probably would end up with either a WR like Chris Henry or even Matt Jones, or Odell Thurman. Not too bad I guess. Then we can draft BPA the rest of the way. Still would prefer getting Williams, but not a bad fallback option.

I have heard rumors of the Lions being interested in Alex Barron, but as all rumors... you can only read but so much into them. I'm sure the Texans would love a shot a Barron so that'd be great if the Redskins could trade back and get the Texans' secound rounder as well. If the Redskins could get Carlos Rogers in the first round, and either Chris Henry or Vincent Jackson in the second and then the best available DE in the third, I'd call it a very productive and successful draft.

If Miller is there in the 2nd that would be a steal, but I doubt that will happen. Smith really doesn't fit with our program too well. He is a good receiver, but average at best as a blocker, and that doesn't seem like Gibbs's sort of TE.

This was Gravely disconcerting for the monarchy as an institution, or a business, if you like.
He was Gravely ill with multiple myeloma and was spending time at the Mayo Clinic.
Months after the photo was taken, the SEAL was shot and Gravely wounded in a gunfight with the Taliban in Afghanistan.
On Jan. 8, 2011, a gunman killed six people and Gravely injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords during a meeting with her constituents.
Two Coasties were Gravely wounded; one injured man "lay on a stretcher on deck breathing hard through his mouth," Liebling wrote.
Supposing that a fiddle was left behind, or a drum, or a rattle, why should the trivial fact be Gravely recorded?
"The note says, 'the Misses Parlin,'" said aunt Louise, Gravely.
"Yes; I suppose so—I am sure of it," said Christie, Gravely.
McLeod smiled, if we may so speak, Gravely, in acknowledgment of the compliment.
"Mrs Seaton wishes you to go, however," said Mr Sherwood, Gravely.

Hi, All,
My name is Brian, and I live in the state of Maryland, USA. I've been calling myself a Buddhist for about 8 years, and have benefited immensely from the practice. My reason for joining Dhamma Wheel is to make Buddhist friends, as I currently have none that are Buddhists, and so have no one to talk to about the dhamma. I look forward to reading about all of your experiences, and hopefully will make some positive contributions myself.
Enjoy your day!

Read the man page for airmon-ng.
Google airmon-ngCode:man airmon-ng
I am new to this, but having been trying all day to crack my own AP.
When I type airodump-ng -c 1 -w wep --bssid - the channel keeps on changing ie going through
the range of channels available to the USB.
From what I understand the usb should stay on the channel that the AP is on.
This causes problems when I do a second injection with the command -
aireplay-ng -3 -b (bssid)
The output is
15:00:35 Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: 00:1CF:60:9B:9D) on channel 1
Saving ARP requests in replay_arp-0316-150035.cap
You should also start airodump-ng to capture replies.
Read 4567 packets (got 0 arp requests and 0 acks), sent 0 packets ...(0 pps)
Can someone advise me on how to set the channel on my USB or is there a file I need to download and
install if the latter can they post a guide please.
Thanks for your reply...
I have managed to solve this myself - prior to doing as you say googling.
Not sure exactly which method worked but it did (maybe a combination of all??)
1st I followed Injection with ZyDAS zd1211 and zd1211b (zd1211rw) tutorial and installed that last night.
2nd This Morning, I found that I should put the adapter into moniter mode... iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor and then
airmon-ng start wlan0. (From another tutorial i found this morning)
3rd Followed the tutorial that I was using with one exception airodump-ng -c 1 ... changed that to airodump-ng --channel 1
and made sure I was using wlan0 as my device voila it worked i.e it fixed on the channel i wanted and didn't go through the range that I was previously experiencing. I was then able to crack my AP with out any problems.
Was on the verge of purchasing another adapter off ebay this morning but I am glad I perservered and overcame.
Going to setup my router as a WPA2 now and attempt to hack that. (Any good Tutorials about??)
I would like to thank everyone who took the time to view this thread.
i need some help changing the mon0 channel, i'm running all airmon commands all the way on ubuntu 10.10 and at the end i got stuck with the airodump,
need to change channel mon0 from 1 to 6.
i'm useing AWUS036H, working fine on ubuntu 10.10 on my VM, cant cap without changing channels... tried to change it with airmon-ng, airodump-ng, iwconfig
but - NO GO, i'm going nutts !!!

Bassel wins Index on Censorship Digital Freedom Award
[This is a reprint of a press release sent out upon Bassel Khartabil's garnering the Index on Censorship Digital Freedom Award. Bassel is still imprisoned in Syria, and if you haven't yet done so, sign the letter of support at the bottom of this site.]
Palestinian-born Syrian software engineer Bassel Khartabil is the winner of this year's Index on Censorship Digital Freedom Award, sponsored by Google. Khartabil is a free internet pioneer who has spent his career advancing open source technologies. On March 15, 2012, he was illegally imprisoned in Syria. His family were given no official information about why or where he was detained but have since learnt that he is being held at the security branch of Kafer Sousa, Damascus.
Index CEO Kirsty Hughes said, "Following courageous and peaceful protests in 2011, Syria descended into violence with appalling attacks on civilians across the country – and with over 60,000 people killed over the last two years. Up until his arrest last March, Bassel Khartabil bravely continued to work for a cause he passionately believes in – an open and free internet that is available to all. In a country torn apart by violence, he is a brave advocate for peaceful change."
Bassel's friend Dana Trometer, who is collecting the Index award on his behalf said, "Bassel deserves to be out of jail celebrating his real freedom and digital freedom. On this Mother's day in most of the Arab World, and as a mother myself, my heart goes out to Bassel's Mom. Bassel is a kind and gentle friend. A loving husband and son. He did not fear being targeted as he knew his love for Syria would save him from being persecuted by the authorities. Bassel is aware of this award and he would like to thank the judges and audience for trusting him with such an honour. He would also like to pay respect to all the victims of the struggle for freedom of speech, and, especially for those non-violent youths who refused to carry arms and deserve all the credit for this award."
Another close friend of Bassel's, Jon Phillips, stated, "Lock-up, Lock-out fails. Locking-up Bassel, only locks-out his personal freedom. By locking-up Bassel, his Syrian captors are accidentally locking-out themselves from the future. From launching Creative Commons Syria, building the Arabic Wikipedia and bringing Internet leaders to Syria, he knew that his free participation in global web communities required concrete contributions locally. For these acts would make Syria a better place. One year later, Bassel is under harsh lock-down. Now, thousands of people that Bassel's work helped, now help him by spreading the message #FREEBASSEL. This is what truly builds Syria and connects it to the global connected future. This award proves that his lock-up, is NOT a lock-out of his digital freedom."
Bassel is known worldwide for his strong commitment to the open web, teaching others about technology, and contributing his experience freely to help the world. Bassel is the inventor of an open source software that powers the Open Clip Art Library. He is an original contributor to the Arabic Wikipedia and launched Creative Commons Syria. He is well known in online technical communities as a dedicated volunteer to major Internet projects like Creative Commons, Mozilla Firefox, Wikipedia, Open Clip Art Library, and Fabricatorz.

Mercury switches are small metal capsules, often called "bullets" that contain approximately 1 gram of mercury each. They are generally located inside automobile trunk and hood convenience light fixtures, which they cause to operate. If switches are not removed prior to vehicle crushing, their mercury is vented to the atmosphere as an air pollutant during the smelting process where it eventually falls back to the earth, enters the food chain and is consumed by animals and humans. Starting in 2003, about 30 of New Hampshire's 200 automobile salvage facilities voluntarily collected mercury switches and turned them over to the NH Pollution Prevention Program, which paid for their recycling.
From 2003-2006, the New Hampshire Pollution Prevention Program collected and recycled about 5,700 mercury switches which equals 11 pounds of mercury. In 2007, New Hampshire joined the National Vehicle Mercury Switch Recycling Program; thus ending the voluntary program.
National Vehicle Mercury Switch Recycling Program (NVMSRP)
In August 2006, representatives of the auto industry, scrap and steel industry, auto dismantlers, EPA, state agencies and environmental groups formed the NVMSRP. The program was created to promote mercury switch recycling on a national basis. Unlike New Hampshire's voluntary program, NVMSRP provides salvage facilities a "bounty" of $1 per mercury switch and $3 for ABS assembly until the program's $4 million fund has been depleted. New Hampshire facilities were allowed to begin participation in January, 2007 when a letter was sent to all New Hampshire auto recyclers explaining the process in detail . Please refer to this letter for any questions you have when filling out the application for End of Life Vehicle Solutions (ELVS).
To participate in this organization you must sign up with ELVS. The application is to be sent to:
End of Life Vehicle Solutions
PO Box 3282
Farmington Hills, MI 48333-3282

The Royals were able to bring the game back within seven points on two different occasions, but a block by Seaman and Stevenson and Harvey's attack ended game two in favor of the hosts, 25-17.
Queens fired back in the third set, going on a 6-0 run after the teams were tied 6-6 as Hays put in an ace and Hernandez teamed up with both Harvey and Moore on separate occasions to record blocks.

text: If Jerry wants a moment to change his perception in fans minds or even in nfl circles i think he needs to get rid of Ratliff. What kind of message does it send to his team if he says enough is enough. If he doesnt then that speech meant nothing but sugar coating. Ratliff is a disgrace, and it just shows the guy is selfish and plain stupid. Steelers wasted no time in kicking one of their players to the curb for getting arrested. I like that zero tolerance type setting. If Jerry wanted one moment to take control of the situation and change the whole perception that Dallas is soft this is how you do it. Take the cap hit, show this team that bull will not be tolerated. Cause at the end of the day a team that knows they're being held accountable for their actions will now think twice knowing they would be cut. I know it probably wont happen and thats why im more than mad at this situation. Disgusted, in Ratliff. Now just have to wait and see til next month when the new yr starts to see if he is cut.

Principal Calls Student Racist Because He Wore White, Made 'W' Sign During SCHOOL SPIRIT WEEK
A star high school athlete in rural Marshalltown, Iowa has been suspended for three football games this fall because he posted a social media image of himself enthusiastically festooned from head to toe in white clothing during school spirit week. In the photo, he made the letter "W" with his hands — which in this case stands for white.
The student is Blair Van Staalduine, reports Des Moines NBC affiliate WHO-TV.
The student's parents say the the principal of Marshalltown High School called Van Staalduine a racist after concluding that his hand signal was a white pride symbol.
The parents have now responded to the suspension and the charge that their son is a racist by threatening to sue.
"We were appalled," his mother, Cathy Van Staalduine, tol WHO-TV. "We were appalled and so was he. Absolutely. Because the furthest thing from Blair is being racist." (RELATED: The Daily Caller Presents The Alphabet Of Racism: The Letter 'B')
The school colors at Marshalltown High appear to be red, white and blue. Van Staalduine wore white because school officials had asked members of his class to wear white during school spirit week festivities.
"The actual school chose the colors that each grade would be wearing," Cathy Van Staalduine explained. "Juniors wore white. So Blair, of course, being active in the school, dressed from head to toe in white."
She noted emphatically that the "W" sign was for the color her son was assigned.

Coachella is Here: Check Out Our Favorite Fashions From Past Years!
Whip out your body paint and flower crowns because the Coachella Music and Arts Festival is going down in Indio, California starting today (April 11)!
The annual shindig is a fan-favorite and those who are lucky enough to snag a spot on the grassy musical heaven get the chance to enjoy amazing musicians, try new foods and check out eye-catching art. And let's not forget another key factor - the fashion!
Tinseltown's gorgeous festy fans including Vanessa Hudgens, Alessandra Ambrosio and Kate Bosworth feel right at home at this bohemian and casual affair. In honor of the 2014 Coachella festival, GossipCenter recaps 10 of our favorite looks over the last few years!
Going back to 2010, plenty of lovely ladies caught our eyes with their trendy getups, but Beyonce Knowles looked extra fashion forward as she mixed boho chic with a rocker edge when she strutted out in a black leather skirt, cropped lace top and black boots. Lindsay Lohan opted for grunge apparel when she sported cut-off black denim shorts, a simple white cropped top and fringe ankle boots. Switching it up and going all out on the free spirit wardrobe, Katy Perry channeled her inner-Pocahontas in a tribal-inspired frock and gladiator sandals while accessorizing with tons of jewelry. Rounding out our 2010 picks is Miss Ambrosio, who rocked a floppy hat, boho top and crochet vest.
Speaking of the Victoria's Secret beauty, she also made the cut in our 2011 picks when she showed up in a simple ivory dress and sunglasses while sporting the same brown boots from 2010. And Coachella would not be Coachella if "High School Musical" alum and self-proclaimed "fairy" Vanessa Hudgens wasn't in attendance. The always-on fashionista looked perfect for the sunny California weather when she mingled with the crowd in high-waist denim shorts and a crochet cropped top while accessorizing with face paint and feathered hair.
2012 had no shortage of stars and Burberry babe Rosie Huntington Whiteley looked like perfection when she arrived at the outdoor event making the grassy field look like a runway. The then 25-year-old model showed off her perfect pins in a pair of flower-embellished denim shorts and a plunging white blouse while keeping her hair and makeup natural. Sticking with the easy-going theme two weekend event, Paris Hilton also caught our eyes when she stopped to pose for photographs in a multi-colored maxi skirt and white bandeau top, which she accessorized with aviator sunglasses and pink highlighted hair. Last, but certainly not least, Hollywood couple Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish made a fashionable entrance as they walked hand in hand with Kate sporting black denim shorts, tan ankle boots and an embellished cardigan, while her main squeeze kept it casual in jeans and a t-shirt.
Finally, 2013 was another year to remember in the fashion department, and we are showcasing a former power couple who brought their mix to the Coachella festivities. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were the "it" pair and they brought the power to last year's festivities. The "Twilight" babe remained casual as she sported black denim shorts, Converse sneakers and a backwards baseball cap while managing to hold on to the best accessory around, RPats. The hunky vampire actor looked effortlessly stylish in jeans, a t-shirt and unique sunglasses while trying to blend in with the other average Joes.
Make sure to stay linked to GossipCenter and Tweet us with your favorite Coachella fashion from this year and the past!
