An Australian man jailed in the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing told the court at an appeal hearing on Tuesday he was acting in self-defence when he allegedly injured two men at his home.
Carl Mather, 54, a former public servant and English teacher, was sentenced to 12 months prison last November. His appeal began at Jiangsu High Court on Tuesday morning.
Mr Mather, who was born in Perth, arrived in court wearing a thick green coat and grey beanie. He said the original judgment was "both incorrect and unjust".
He said he used a stick and then a knife in a bid to scare four people away from the doorway at his home. He said they entered his apartment without permission in late 2011, claiming they were owed money by his Chinese wife, who runs a food wholesaling business. The two men, who were also present at court today, said they suffered injuries to their hands in the altercation.
Mr Mather's wife, Xie Qun, said the charges against her husband were fabricated in an attempt to extort 1.5 million yuan ($228,850) from her business.
Mr Mather's lawyers were shocked by the severity of his sentence, believing at worst he would be deported back to Australia. They are appealing on the grounds of procedural unfairness. They say Mr Mather was attacked, acted in self-defence and that one of the injured was, in fact, a debt collector.
legal system a weapon in business disputes
Unlike the other Australians jailed in China over business-related disputes – Rio Tinto employee Stern Hu, education entrepreneur Charlotte Chou, businessman Matthew Ng and cardiac surgeon Du Zuying – Mr Mather is not a dual citizen. His detention is the latest example of how China's opaque legal system can be used as a weapon in business disputes.
Mrs Xie told The Australian Financial Review that she was allowed a 20-minute visit with her husband last Friday morning, the first since his incarceration. She was disappointed that he was handcuffed and there were at least five other people in the room.
"He had very red eyes and he was crying during the meeting," she said.
Mrs Xie and Mr Mather's lawyer, Si Weijiang, are concerned he may be close to a break-down. Mr Mather has suffered from depression in the past and has complained about his cramped living conditions at the detention centre. He is been kept in a 6-metre by 3-metre cell with 15 other inmates. Mrs Xie said after months of requesting more vegetables and nuts for her husband, his diet had recently improved.
His appeal will continue this afternoon.
Mr Mather's lawyer has criticised the Australian government for not lobbying more actively for his release.
Mrs Xie was disappointed at the level of support from Australian consular officials. She said recent breakthroughs, such as her visit last week with Mr Mather and the provision of better food, were only achieved through her own efforts.

6 Important Things I Learned From The Premiere Of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo"
I want to climb into the womb of "TLC" and live there forever. The network really, really gets it. Um, did anyone see the preview for "Abby & Brittany," the new reality show about the conjoined twins? Holy crap, TLC. I bow down. Anyhow, last night's two-episode premiere of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" was more epic than I expected. Not only were most of my pressing questions answered, but I learned things I never expected to know in this lifetime. Bless you, Boo Boos, for how you've enriched my life. This is definitely my new favorite show. Bottom line. Here are the six very important things you might have missed on last night's episodes of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." Be prepared to have your mind blown. (Plus! Bonus clips of Alana on a new episode of "Toddlers and Tiaras," which also aired last night.)

The Rock Doc: Cave formations another record of climate change
Mon., July 22, 2013
Some of the interesting features of certain caves are stalactites and stalagmites, the columnlike features that hang down from the ceiling and are built up from the floor. Humans have known of their existence since time immemorial, but it's only in recent years we've realized they have a story about climate to tell us.
As reported recently in Science Express, researchers led by a team at the Georgia Institute of Technology studied four stalagmites from Borneo. The stalagmites are made of calcite, a relatively soft mineral made of calcium, carbon and oxygen. It's estimated that the stalagmites in Borneo grow at a rate of about three-eighths of an inch every thousand years.
Stalactites and stalagmites grow in caves because rainwater penetrates the ground, dissolving a little bit of mineral matter as it moves. When it gets to a cave, the water drips down from the ceiling and onto the floor. Just a little at a time, minerals like calcite are precipitated as the water evaporates a smidgen. The stalactites and stalagmites in Borneo grew over the course of 100,000 years.
What's especially interesting about the Borneo stalagmites is that the calcite in them has variations in the mineral's oxygen atoms. Different oxygen atoms on Earth have different atomic weights. The differences in the oxygen weights in the stalagmites reflect different oxygen atoms in the groundwater of an area. That, in turn, is a function of variations in oxygen weights of rainwater that fell in Borneo over millennia.
The researchers investigating the stalagmites cut them in half lengthwise. They took small samples at the center of the stalagmites less than an eighth of an inch apart. The samples show two things: The rainwater of Borneo was influenced by the rapid climate change patterns known from the North Atlantic and called Heinrich events. But the Borneo samples don't show evidence of being influenced by a different set of northern rapid climate change events, those called the Dansgaard-Oeschger oscillations.
We know a lot about natural climate change from studying ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica, but we've had much less clear evidence of climate variations from low-latitude regions. That's why the Borneo stalagmites are important.
Other turns in history show up in the cave samples. They reflect changes when the mega-volcano in Indonesia at Lake Toba erupted around 75,000 years ago. Those were dark days throughout the region, and weather was affected, as shown by the stalagmite record.
The take-away lesson of the stalagmite record in the tropics is similar to what we see in the ice core records at the poles of the planet. Change is woven into the warp and weft of Earth processes, and climate is always changing, both in terms of precipitation and temperature. In short we are riding a bucking bronco and we've recently added to the risks we face by perturbing the greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.
Hold on to your hats!

April 17th 2013 marked a day for me that sparked a lot of emotions. Some of which were excitement and anticipation, while others were skepticism and overall fear. Why though? Well, it's simple. On April 17th, 2013, a sequel to my favorite game of all time was announced. It wasn't given a direct title at the time, I think in Japan it was even referred to as "A Link to the Past 2" at one point and only at the end of production did they decide to go with the same name as over here. Anywho, I was shocked, because I was fully expecting Majora's Mask to receive a 3D remake, and I was stoked for it. Still, excitement poured through me, because I love this franchise, and I'll play every single one, no matter what. Even The Spirit Tracks, I played it..it was bad, but I still played it.
As a sequel, this game had an insane legacy to live up to, especially to me. I play A Link to the Past at least once a year, sometimes more. It's a timeless classic, it never gets old, and I always enjoy every minute of my time with the game. I was a little worried the first time I booted up A Link Between Worlds, because I just felt it wouldn't stand a chance. About four hours into the game, maybe less, I lost track, I was completely at ease. This game is not only a fantastic sequel to A Link to the Past, it's an unbelievable title that captures everything about the Zelda franchise that I love, and in the end, after the second playthrough, I can honestly say this is one of my favorite video games of all time.
Iconic Visual...relived and reimagined on the 3DS
The look of the game drew a lot of criticism leading up to the game's release, and while I think it's fine to not like it, I think it's the same case as The Wind Waker. It's unique, it's stylish, and it's something not done before. The characters look...toyish almost, but they have a sense of charm, evoking the same emotions in the form of laughs, gasps and other simple audible feelings. The environment looks gorgeous, with Hyrule being the bright, livid and vibrant place you come to expect of it, and Lorule in contrast being, well, a Dark World. See what I did there? Everything about it is dreary and hopeless, shown through graphics that draw from Super Nintendo inspiration, but feel modernized, and shown in great color on the 3DS screen. Many can criticize the game's graphics all they want, but I think they are beautiful, everything about the game looks beautiful.
A Link Between Worlds feels familiar, it draws the best of A Link to the Past into the fold, and with an expanded controller, gives it fresh new gameplay elements, the biggest being able to merge onto the wall and gain access to areas otherwise unreachable by normal standards. This element single-handedly enhanced the overall experience of ALBW, intertwining with new puzzles that challenges the player to think, but not to the point where you become frustrated. The results here are fantastic, they give you something new, on top of something familiar, and the blend works wonderfully.
Familiar, yet still awesome.
Dungeons in this game feel new, inspired and well thought out, and another wonderful change in this game is the ability to complete almost all the dungeons in any order you choose. Want to head to Thieves Town first? By all means, go ahead. How about Swamp Palace, sure, it's all yours. How is this possible you may ask? Well, probably the biggest change of this entire game is being able to rent any item in the game almost instantly. You meet a vendor who sells items that you'd normally acquire within dungeons, like the Hookshot, Bombs, or Boomerang. You can rent them for a low amount of rupees or buy them for a larger amount at a later point in the game. Of course there's a catch, and that catch is if you die, you lose said items, until you rent them again. It adds a nice little twist to the game, adding the element of being punished of failure. The game also lets you know before hand on the dungeons you enter which items you'll need, so you're never unprepared.
One of the newest features of the game, merging onto the wall to reach new areas
Conquering dungeons and saving the world is always the forefront of a Zelda game, but what else is there in A Link Between Worlds? Plenty, I'm glad you asked. There's your standard heart piece collecting, and even a hunt similar to golden skultullas from Ocarina of Time, in the form of Maiamais. There are a hundred spread from Hyrule to Lorule, and for every ten you find, the Maiamai mother will grant you a special upgrade, so it makes the hunt worth having, plus the bonus of finding them all comes in handy in other parts of the game. Mini games include the treasure game from A Link to the Past, which is random, rewarding you with one rupee, or three hundred, or even a heart piece! New mini games include a baseball like game, that was one of the only things that frustrated me about this game. I eventually got the hang of it, so I can't even really knock points off of it. A cucuo dodging game was also a lot of fun, as well as a rupee gathering game where the catch is not going over 30 seconds, with no clock to display, you had to time it...or use your phone's built in clock.
All in all, this game is superb, an exceptional game on all levels of quality, giving the Zelda franchise another fantastic addition, and yet another reason why the 3DS is a MUST own for anyone who's a fan of good games. Seriously, I could make a whole list of games that make the 3DS worth a purchase, it's almost just silly to not have one at this point. The game challenges the player, and if the initial challenge isn't enough, by all means try out Hero mode, where damage is increased by 4X, and recovery items are non existent. If that doesn't tickle your challenge fancy, you're insane. I completed Hero mode just before writing this review, and while it was hard as all hell, it was a fun ride, provided by a challenging, nostalgic and FASCINATING game. Buy this game, if you have a 3DS, and if you don't, buy a 3DS WITH this game. It's a heavy contender for my Game of the Year.

Big-Name Vanilla Ice Creams Fail to Sweep Tasting
Our panel favors "fresh," "clean" taste over "overwhelmingly vanilla" flavors.
Vanilla ice cream may be plain, but in the ice cream world, it remains the force to be reckoned with, hoarding 29 percent of the industry's
$20 billion annual sales. Its closest rival, chocolate, lays claim to a paltry 8.9 percent. But when it comes to buying vanilla, there are two sides to the bean: Philadelphia-style, made from a milk or cream base,
and French-style (often sold under the name "custard-style" or "French vanilla" and sometimes just "vanilla"), made from a precooked custard base that includes egg yolks in the mix. This tasting focused exclusively on the more decadent French-style vanilla ice creams, the style preferred in a Cook's taste test conducted for the July/August 1994 issue.
We first tackled the question of what defines an ice cream as "all natural" and whether this would have any impact on the results of the tasting. The surprising answer is that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has no regulations concerning "all natural" labeling of ice cream. Given the lack of guidance by the FDA, we
decided to investigate two areas-the use of stabilizers and the type of flavoring-to see if they would affect our results.
Adding Stability, Trapping Flavor
Many ice cream manufacturers add stabilizers-most often carrageenan gum or guar gum-to prevent "heat shock," an industry term for the degradation in texture caused by partial melting and refreezing. This happens when ice cream is subjected to extreme temperature changes during transit to the supermarket or when an ice cream case goes through its self-defrosting cycle. Gum additives stabilize ice cream by trapping water in the frozen mass and slowing down the growth of ice crystals during melting and refreezing.
We thought that the presence of stabilizers might affect our test results. To our surprise, this was not the case. Our top two brands, Edy's Dreamery and Double Rainbow, use stabilizers. Next we tackled the issue of vanilla flavoring.
Three types of vanilla are used to make vanilla ice cream: vanilla bean specks made from ground vanilla pods, natural vanilla extract, and artificial vanilla flavor. Using vanilla specks in ice cream is a popular technique manufacturers often use to convey to consumers the idea of naturalness or a home-style approach. However, while vanilla beans, which come from the inside of the vanilla pod, carry plenty of flavor, the little black flecks that come from grinding up vanilla pods contribute more to the ice cream's appearance than its flavor. So the presence of flecks of "vanilla" in a commercial ice cream is no indication of quality or taste. Vanilla extract and artificial vanilla flavor are what determine the flavor. (In fact, the top two brands in our tasting do not use ground vanilla pods.) Natural vanilla extract is made by steeping chopped vanilla beans in an alcohol and water solution. According to FDA guidelines, only ice creams made with natural vanilla extract or naturally derived vanilla flavor can be labeled "vanilla ice cream." The label "vanilla-flavored ice cream" indicates that the ice cream in question was made with a combination of natural vanilla extract or flavor and artificial vanilla flavor. Artificial vanilla flavor is made from vanillin, a product extracted from conifer wood pulp that has been chemically rinsed. Blue Bell was the only brand in the tasting that contained artificial vanilla flavor, and it rated smack-dab in the middle, thus negating any link between natural flavoring agents and superior flavor. While tasters described Blue Bell ice cream as "cloyingly sweet" and "fleeting on the tongue," its use of artificial vanilla did not automatically relegate it to the bottom of the heap.
In fact, tasters took greater issue with several "naturally flavored" brands-including Häagen-Dazs, Ben & Jerry's, and Edy's Grand-for tasting "artificial" and "boozy." To help explain this odd result we contacted Bruce Tharp, an independent ice cream consultant based in Wayne, Pa. He explained that perceived artificial and alcohol flavors are often caused by the quantity of vanilla extract added to the ice cream. That is, the more extract, the more likely one is to taste the alcohol. Although it's impossible to confirm this theory (manufacturers won't release their recipes to the public), it was clear that the absence of stabilizers and use of natural flavorings were not reliable indicators of a great-tasting ice cream.
Butterfat and Overrun
Next up was the issue of butterfat. A natural byproduct of milk, butterfat, sometimes also called milk fat, is a coveted addition to an ice cream's list of ingredients, contributing to smooth texture, rich flavor, and structure. By law, an ice cream can't be called an ice cream unless its prefrozen mix contains a minimum of 10 percent butterfat. Of the ice creams we tasted, butterfat content ranged from 10 to 16 percent and, ingeneral, the higher the butterfat content, the higher the ice cream rated. Our two top-rated ice creams had butterfat contents of 14.5 percent (Edy's Dreamery) and 15 percent (Double Rainbow). The two lowest rated brands had butterfat contents between 10 and 13 percent.
All commercial ice cream makers also add air to the mix. Oddly enough, this helps to provide structure, as the air cells are distributed evenly throughout the frozen mass. The air that is thus incorporated into ice cream is called overrun-without it, the ice cream would look more like an ice cube. But if used to excess, added air can compromise the ice cream's texture, making it pillowy and light. In addition, an ice cream with a high overrun will melt faster than one with a low overrun (see photos on page 25). This is because there is less frozen mass to melt, and when there is less frozen mass, warm air can penetrate the ice cream more quickly.
Realizing that ice cream with more air has more volume and can be sold in a larger package for more money, the FDA has set a minimum weight of 41Ú2 pounds to the gallon for churned ice cream. This indirectly sets a limit on the amount of air that can be incorporated, since an ice cream that incorporates too much air during the churning process will weigh less than 41Ú2 pounds. Essentially, what all this means is that an ice cream's volume cannot be increased by more than 100 percent through the addition of air. To find out the estimated overrun in the ice creams we sampled, we used a simple calculation (see note in "Tasting Vanilla Ice Cream" on page 27) that takes into consideration the weight of the ice cream and the weight of the liquid ice cream mix before it is frozen. While the top two ice creams had low overruns of 21 and 26 percent, our third favorite had a whopping 93.5 percent overrun. Furthermore, the two last-place ice creams had very different overruns-26 percent and 100 percent (we tested many samples of Edy's Grand and the overrun always came in at 100 percent). Our conclusion? In general, low overrun is preferable, although butterfat content is a better measure of quality. (We also noted that some tasters like high-overrun ice creams-it is, to some degree, a matter of personal preference.)
The last component we researched was emulsifiers, such as mono- and diglycerides, used to control the behavior of fat in ice cream by preventing it from separating out from the ice cream mass. These emulsifiers give an ice cream rigidity and strength, so even if it doesn't have much butterfat or added gums, the ice cream will maintain its round, scooped shape for a prolonged period of time. The only ice cream in our tasting with emulsifiers was also the least favored sample: Edy's Grand. So, according to our taste test, it seems that emulsifiers are not desirable.
What to Buy?
The winner of our tasting, Edy's Dreamery, was described as "rich and velvety," with a "fresh" and "clean" finish. It uses natural flavors as well as stabilizers, has a butterfat content of 14.5 percent, and an estimated overrun of 21 percent. Tasters remarked that its texture was particularly smooth and that it was lighter and softer than other samples. Tasters also responded well to the "clean," "fresh" flavor of our second-place finisher, Double Rainbow. The statistics on this brand are almost identical to those on our winner-natural flavors, stabilizers, 15 percent butterfat, and 26 percent estimated overrun.
Tasters on our 1994 panel crowned Breyer's a winner among supermarket brands sold in half-gallons, so we were not surprised that it placed third in this tasting. Our panelists particularly liked the home-style, "eggy" taste of this product. It even outranked Häagen-Dazs and Ben & Jerry's! (Not bad for an ice cream that's almost 50 percent air-it has a 93.5 percent estimated overrun.)
The real news here is the fourth-place showing of Häagen-Dazs and the seventh-place showing of Ben & Jerry's, out of eight brands sampled. Both of these well-known brands advertise their quality ingredients, have low overruns, and have moderate to high butterfat contents. (Häagen-Dazs is a particularly perplexing case, with a high-end 16 percent butterfat content, natural flavors, a low overrun of 20 percent, and no stabilizers. Judging from the printing on the package, it looks like a winner.) Tasters found the flavor of the Häagen-Dazs and the Ben & Jerry's to be "artificial" and "chemical," with "alcohol" undertones. Is this a function of too much vanilla? Perhaps, but since this information is confidential, we can only hazard a guess. What we were able to learn after gorging on so much ice cream is that, at least for our tasters, balance is more important than bravado. Clean vanilla flavor and a high butterfat content made more of a difference to us than the presence of stabilizers.
Tasting Vanilla Ice Cream
To gather the contestants for our French-style vanilla ice cream tasting, we consulted recent supermarket sales data and included the most widely available top-selling national brands as well as a few brands available through natural food stores. The ice cream had to include egg yolks in its list of ingredients to qualify for the tasting. Twenty Cook's staff members tasted the ice creams plain, rating them for overall flavor, texture, and density. Note: The overrun amounts listed in this chart were estimated by dividing the weight of each brand of ice cream by the weight of the liquid ice cream mix before churning and freezing. According to Bruce Tharp, an independent ice cream consultant, all commercial ice cream mixes weigh approximately 9 pounds per gallon. The weight of the finished product per gallon will vary depending on the amount of air introduced during the churning process. The FDA specifies that 1 gallon of ice cream must weigh at least 4 1Ú2 pounds, effectively limiting the amount of "overrun" (air) to no more than 100 percent.
EDY'S DREAMERY Vanilla Ice Cream
One pint, $3.19
Natural flavors with stabilizers Estimated overrun: 21%; Butterfat: 14.5%
Our only highly recommended ice cream was described as "rich and velvety," with a "fresh" and "clean" finish. Its texture was called "creamy" and "smooth," decidedly "lighter" and "softer" in body than the other samples.
DOUBLE RAINBOW French Vanilla Ice Cream
One quart, $2.99
Natural flavors with stabilizers Estimated overrun: 26%; Butterfat: 15%
Tasters defined this ice cream as "balanced" and "perfect." Like theDreamery brand, Double Rainbow was described as "fresh" and "clean" flavored, although some felt it was just a little too sweet. Its texture was deemed "creamy" and "smooth."
BREYER'S All Natural French Vanilla Ice Cream
Half-gallon, $3.99
Natural flavors, no stabilizers Estimated overrun: 93.5%; Butterfat: 12 to 14%
Breyer's was liked for its "eggy" and "milky" qualities, which some called "caramel-like." Others found it "too sweet." Its slightly grainy texture "suggests homemade," said one taster, while another said this gave it the appearance of having "separated."
BLUE BELL Homemade Vanilla Flavored Ice Cream *tied with HÄAGEN-DAZS*
Half-gallon, $5.29
Natural and artificial flavors with stabilizers Estimated overrun: 47.5%; Butterfat: 12%
While some tasters loved Blue Bell's eggy, toffee-like flavor, others found it "cloyingly sweet" and "too eggy." Its texture was described as light and smooth, although a bit "chewy;" other tasters thought it was "too light" and "watery."
HÄÄAGEN-DAZS Vanilla Ice Cream *tied with BLUE BELL*
One pint, $3.29
Natural flavors, no stabilizers Estimated overrun: 20%; Butterfat: 16%
"Eggy" and "artificial" was how Häagen-Dazs was characterized. One taster said it "reeked of extract," while others called it reminiscent of "alcohol." The texture was "fantastic"-dense, creamy, and smooth.
365 EVERY DAY VALUE French Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Half-gallon, $4.49
Natural flavors with stabilizers Estimated overrun: 93.5%; Butterfat: 14%
"Very average and middle-of-the-road," is how one taster summed up the Whole Foods grocery store home label, while others called it "eggy," "milky," and "just too sweet." Its texture was perceived as somewhat "gluey" and "sticky."
BEN & JERRY'S World's Best Vanilla Ice Cream
One pint, $3.29
Natural flavors with stabilizers Estimated overrun: 26%; Butterfat: 13%
Tasters agreed that Ben & Jerry's ice cream had an unmistakably "artificial" quality that was "stale" with a "bad aftertaste" that reminded some of "rubbing alcohol" and others of "cooked milk." Its texture, however, was creamy and smooth.
EDY'S GRAND French Vanilla Ice Cream
Half-gallon, $3.99
Natural flavors with stabilizers and emulsifiers Estimated overrun: 100% (we tested five half- gallons of Edy's Grand and found each to have an overrun of 100%); Butterfat: 10 to 12%
Edy's Grand was a far cry from its Dreamery brand; some tasters were taken aback by its "shocking fake taste." Many also marked the sample down for "artificial" flavors that were just too "strong" and "boozy."
While the texture was "creamy," some complained that it was also "greasy."

Is It Healthy: Cooking Sprayby Dana Angelo White in Is It Healthy?, May 1, 2013
Can the key to healthy cooking be found in an aerosol can? There are pluses and minuses to using cooking spray.
Using cooking spray as a replacement for oil and butter can help cut back the calories. Since butter and oil have 100 to 120 calories per tablespoon (respectively), switching to a spray can mean fewer calories (and grams of fat) in your cooking.
Many brands use actual oils (such as olive and canola) as the primary ingredient, others rely on other types of oil and artificial flavorings– check ingredient lists on your brand of choice.
When used in a nonstick pan, a light coating of spray can allow for grilled cheese, French toast and eggs that aren't glued to the pan. Spray is also good option to help give oven-baked breadings a crispier crust. A neutral flavored spray (like canola oil) can also be used to grease baking dishes and cupcake pans.

New Delhi, Sept. 22: Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has said that an enhanced activity of the southwest monsoon will bring good rainfall in several parts of the country for the next three-four days which can give breather to many regions reeling under severe water deficiency.
IMD Director General Laxman Singh Rathore said that there is a circulation in both the sides of the country.
He said there is a low pressure area over north Gujarat and Rajasthan and another low pressure area in Jharkhand and adjoining areas of Gangetic West Bengal and Bihar.
He further said it will bring a good amount of rainfall till September 23rd.
Rathore said the fresh round of enhanced activity of monsoon has also stopped the withdrawal of monsoon for a short period.
He said good rainfall activity will continue until September 23, but the monsoon will start withdrawing rapidly from several parts thereafter.
The MeT department has predicted heavy rainfall at isolated places over sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Bihar, isolated places in Assam and Meghalaya, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana and Rajasthan today.

Seventy percent of people over age 65 will need long-term care at some point in their lives, and more than 40 percent of the same group will require nursing home care. Yet few have the assets to cover the enormous expense of long-term care, whether it's for a chronic illness, disability or other circumstances.
A 2011 MetLife survey found the average price for a year of nursing home care, with a private room, was more than $87,000. Medicaid covers long-term care for low-income Americans, but Medicare and Medigap insurance generally will not touch these costs. That leaves many middle- and high-income Americans to spend their own money, which, depending on their amount of savings and other expenses, could drain quickly.
Long-term care insurance offers an alternative to out-of-pocket and Medicaid payments, helping seniors pay for nursing homes, assisted living facilities and home care, whether in a retirement community or single-family home. But it's important to understand the costs involved before jumping in.
Dignity and choice
A long-term care policy can guarantee considerable protection without depleting the assets for a surviving spouse and heirs, says Ralph Barringer, a certified long-term care consultant and financial planner with Northwestern Mutual in Louisville, Kentucky. As with other types of insurance, you pay a premium to guarantee the insurance company will cover your long-term care costs up to the dollar amount you specify (based on your preferences for length of coverage and how much you can afford). Without it, you must use your income and savings to pay all of your long-term care costs when they arise.
But it's about more than asset protection, says Wendy Rinehart, president of Mrs. LTC, a nationwide long-term care insurance consultancy.
"Everybody who wants dignity and choice at this most important time in their life needs a policy in place," Rinehart says. "People are running out of money trying to pay for their own care, and then they're left on Medicaid, which allows little choice."
Weighing the cost of a long-term care policy
When it comes to coverage and cost, several factors can impact the bottom line. Among these are:
- Age: Policy costs can rise by as much as 50 percent between the ages of 50 and 60. Rinehart says the sweet spot for purchasing long-term care insurance is in your early to mid 50s.
- Illness: Good health keeps costs lower at almost any age—but some health conditions can put even younger adults in a higher cost category, and some illnesses can make you ineligible for coverage. For instance, some plans will not accept people with insulin-dependent diabetes, Alzheimer's disease or obesity.
- Duration: Long-term care insurance usually is a lifetime expense, but there is no guarantee that the premium you start out with will not increase. Preferably, coverage should be based on a monthly benefit, not a daily limit, Barringer says. A single day's medical care easily might bump your expenses beyond a daily limit, but a monthly limit should absorb the occasional higher costs. You also can purchase inflation protection, but that increases the cost of the policy.
Another consideration is the "elimination period," part of most long-term care insurance policies. It's similar to a deductible and dictates the amount you must spend out of pocket by establishing how many days you must receive care before your coverage kicks in. While elimination periods often are set at 90 days, you can pay more for a shorter one.
Before you purchase coverage, do your homework. Several websites provide average nursing care costs by state (the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, for example), and you can find the financial background and history of long-term care insurance carriers online.

The provincie is drained by the Lower Rijn (Rhine), Kromme (Winding, or Crooked) Rijn, Lek, Vecht, and Eem rivers. The sandy soil of its hilly eastern part supports pig and poultry raising and horticulture around Amersfoort and Utrecht. The low-peat areas of the northwest have a few polders and lakes where much peat was cut and where dairy farming is now important. River clay found in the southwest, deposited by the Rijn, IJssel, and other rivers, supports fruit growing and market gardening. Utrecht, the largest city, and Amersfoort are the only sizable industrial communities; but there is light manufacturing in smaller towns such as Zeist, Veenendaal, and Maarssen. The provincie's northern part mostly comprises the resort and residential region known as the Gooi, whereas the region between Utrecht city and Amersfoort is pleasantly wooded.

The Harker Heights City Council will discuss the creation of development overlay districts, a hot-button issue for the city in recent months, at a retreat set for Saturday at the Activities Center.
Council members have had about 2½ weeks to study a 70-page packet given to them by Fred Morris, planning and development director, at a June 4 workshop. The packet was loaded with questions about regulating development along a 2.4-mile stretch of Farm-to-Market 2410, in regard to building setbacks, size, color and material standards, architectural design, parking, signage, landscape, screening, buffering and streetscape requirements.
"We're going to talk about why we need an overlay and what that's going to consist of," said city planner Joseph Molis. "But we're going to go into a lot more detail than what we were anticipating in the last workshop. … We'll take some steps backward and talk about the build-out up to this point."
Molis said he expected the retreat to last at least five hours.
The already-zoned corridor under consideration includes swaths of undeveloped land near Harker Heights High School.
"Right now, we're having a big boom in housing," Mayor Mike Aycock said. "In 2014, we'll have a boom in commercial development. I think we're going to end up with a center of commerce."
After coming to consensuses on applicable issues during a May 29 workshop, the planning and zoning commission recommended the council take quick action on the issue, according to city documents.
The retreat, open to the public, starts at 9 a.m. at the Activities Center, 400 Indian Trail.

|[PATCH] "lockless loopback" patch for 2.6.6
|Arthur Kepner <akepner@xxxxxxx>
|Fri, 21 May 2004 14:04:09 -0700
|<Pine.SGI.4.56.0405111251080.7038576@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> <20040512120810.464aaee6.davem@xxxxxxxxxx> <Pine.SGI.4.56.0405121256510.7328714@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Lock contention on the loopback device can lead to poor performance, even an essentially hung system, on systems with many processors. For the loopback device, the only purpose that locking serves is to protect the device statistics. The attached patch keeps per-cpu statistics for the loopback device and removes all locking. The patch is against 2.6.6. Worst-case loopback lock contention (2.4 kernel) ================================================ The following 'lockstat' data was taken with a 2.4 kernel (though I expect similar results with 2.6). The test scenario is that N transmitters simultaneously send to N receivers, via the loopback, on an N cpu system. (This was an attempt to simulate a hang seen at a customer site on a large system.) N SPINLOCKS HOLD WAIT UTIL CON MEAN( MAX ) MEAN( MAX )(% CPU) NOWAIT SPIN NAME ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2 6.0% 3.9% 48us(1397us) 74us(1172us)(0.18%) 96.1% 3.9% loopback_dev+0x1c0 8 17.0% 19.3% 137us( 117ms) 841us( 118ms)( 2.5%) 80.7% 19.3% loopback_dev+0x1c0 31* 72.2% 88.4% 1262us( 73ms) 25ms( 814ms)(39.7%) 11.6% 88.4% loopback_dev+0x1c0 64 74.7% 89.9% 2814us(1068ms) 85ms(4925ms)(31.5%) 10.1% 89.9% loopback_dev+0x1c0 (* yes, 31, one processor was down on a 32p system) In the 64p case, the system is essentially unusable for interactive processes when running this test case. Throughput on the loopback device also scales very poorly. In fact, if more than approximately 16 processors are used, throughput decreases as more processors are added. With (the 2.4 version of) the patch, the system remains quite usable during the same test scenario and throughput scales much better. -- Arthur

Did Facebook Secretly Conduct Experiments On Us?
If you thought you had reached a point where there was nothing Facebook could do to surprise us, read on. This time it involves experimenting…on YOU.
It turns out that Facebook secretly used almost 700,000 of us as guinea pigs to see if they had the power to manipulate our emotions.
They spent one week in January of 2012 showing some people mostly NEGATIVE posts from their friends and filtering out the good ones. They also showed some people mostly POSITIVE posts and filtered out the negative ones.
Then they monitored those people to see how it affected them. Did the people who mostly saw negative stuff become bummed out and post more negative stuff themselves? Did the people who saw positive stuff become happier?
Fortunately, they found they CAN'T manipulate our emotions, and there was no connection between the posts people saw and how their moods changed.
The study was technically legal; you give permission to Facebook to do stuff like this by being a member of their site. In fact, we only know about the study because Facebook just published a paper on it, although some are questioning the moral and ethical angles of the study, which was done without explicit consent (even though, like stated above, you technically opted in when you signed up…it just wasn't specific.)

Kim Kardashian's High Chic Style Down Under (PHOTOS)
Kardashian, 31, is in Australia to promote Quick Trim and is also using the time to further develop her style.
And her boyfriend Kanye West may have had some influence.
While West did not join Kardashian during her tour of Sydney and Melbourne, one of her most show-stopping pieces may have come to her via the rapper: a Josh Goot psychedelic skirt and top combo that earned the reality TV star top marks from local fashion commentators. The Australian designer's use of explosions of orange and purple ensured that Kardashian stunned on a red carpet in Melbourne.
Though it's big in Australia, the brand is not widely known in the U.S. West, however, has a close relationship with the designer, as Goot is dating West's stylist Christine Centenera.
Kardashian also wore fellow Aussie up-and-coming designer Michael Lo Sordo.
She made sure, however, not to forget her American fashion friends.
On her first night in Sydney, Kim wore a stunning pin-tucked silver dress by Vera Wang. Wang also designed sister Khloe Kardashian's wedding dress Lamar Odom in 2009.

Did You See the Streaker at the Pro Bowl?
Okay, so maybe the Pro Bowl isn't the most watched NFL game, but if you watched yesterday then you may have noticed a fan run out onto the field in the fourth quarter. The television coverage didn't show her (because of course we were ALL MUCH MORE INTERESTED IN THE GAME) for more than a split second, then they cut away from her.
However, she later posted video of the incident to her Instagram account where you can see her chest-bumping football players and avoiding tackles (imagine lackluster tackling at the Pro Bowl). By the way, check out some of her other photos on Instagram...
Rumor has it that Deion Sanders was so entertained that he followed security into the tunnel and convinced them not to arrest her.

Moffett Field CA (SPX) Mar 24, 2016
New NASA-funded research provides evidence that the spin axis of Earth's moon shifted by about five degrees roughly three billion years ago. The evidence of this motion is recorded in the distribution of ancient lunar ice, evidence of delivery of water to the early solar system.
"The same face of the moon has not always pointed towards Earth," said Matthew Siegler of the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona, lead author of a paper in Nature. "As the axis moved, so did the face of the 'man in the moon.' He sort of turned his nose up at the Earth."
Water ice can exist on Earth's moon in areas of permanent shadow. If ice on the moon is exposed to direct sunlight it evaporates into space. Authors of the Nature article show evidence that a shift of the lunar spin axis billions of years ago enabled sunlight to creep into areas that were once shadowed and likely previously contained ice.
The researchers found that the ice that survived this shift effectively "paints" a path along which the axis moved. They matched the path with models predicting where the ice could remain stable and inferred the moon's axis had moved by approximately five degrees. This is the first physical evidence that the moon underwent such a dramatic change in orientation and implies that much of the polar ice on the moon is billions of years old.
"The new findings are a compelling view of the moon's dynamic past," said Dr. Yvonne Pendleton, director of SSERVI, which supports lunar and planetary science research to advance human exploration of the solar system through scientific discovery.
"It is wonderful to see the results of several missions pointing to these insights."
The authors analyzed data from several NASA missions, including Lunar Prospector, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), Lunar Crater and Observation Sensing Satellite (LCROSS), and the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL), to build the case for a change in the moon's orientation. Topography from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) and thermal measurements from the Diviner lunar radiometer - both on LRO - are used to aid the interpretation of Lunar Prospector neutron data that support the polar wander hypothesis.
Siegler noticed that the distribution of ice observed at each of the lunar poles appeared to be more related to each other than previously thought. Upon further investigation, Siegler - and co-author Richard Miller of the University of Alabama at Huntsville - discovered that ice concentrations were displaced from each pole by the same distance, but in exactly opposite directions, suggesting the spin axis in the past was tilted from what we see today.
A change in the tilt means that some of the ice deposited long ago has since evaporated as it was exposed to sunlight, but those areas that remain in permanent shadow between the old orientation and the new one retain their ice, and thus indicate what happened.
A planetary body can shift on its axis when there is a very large change in mass distribution. Co-author James Keane, of the University of Arizona in Tucson, modeled the way changes in the lunar interior would have affected the moon's spin and tilt.
In doing so, he found the Procellarum region on the lunar near-side was the only feature that could match the direction and amount of change in the axis indicated by the ice distributions near the poles.
Furthermore, concentrations of radioactive material in the Procellarum region are sufficient to have heated a portion of the lunar mantle, causing a density change significant enough to reorient the moon.
Some of this heated mantle material melted and came to the surface to form the visible dark patches that fill large lunar basins known as mare. It's these mare patches that give the man in the moon his "face."
Siegler, Miller, and co-author David Lawrence of Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland are part of the Volatiles, Regolith and Thermal Investigations Consortium for Exploration and Science team, one of nine teams funded by SSERVI.
Said Siegler, "These findings may open the door to further discoveries on the interior evolution of the moon, as well as the origin of water on the moon and early Earth."
This interdisciplinary research was conducted across multiple institutions as part of NASA's Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI) based at NASA's Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, California.

Beijing (AFP) Oct 14, 2009
Paleontologists in east China may have discovered the remains of a new species of dinosaur at what is said to be the world's largest group of fossilised dinosaur bones, state media said Wednesday.
Scientists in Zhucheng city, Shandong province, have for months been exploring a gully over 500 metres (1,650 feet) long and 26 metres deep that is strewn with thousands of dinosaur bones, the Jilu Evening News said.
Paleontologists believe that a fossilised skeleton dug up in Zhucheng and shipped to the China Academy of Sciences in Beijing last week could be a new species of dinosaur, the report said.
They have already dug up the biggest-ever or "duck-billed dinosaur" -- and found Asia's first remains of a ceratopsidae, or a giant horned dinosaur, it added.
The trove of dinosaur bones lies in an area in Shandong that has been known for numerous similar finds, with two major digs taking place in the region since 1964, the report said.
Experts said the discovery of so many dinosaurs in such a dense area could provide clues on how the animals became extinct millions of years ago, it added.
Scientists at the dig have also identified the remains of ankylosaurus, tyrannosaurus and coelurus, with many of the fossils dating to about 70 million years ago, reports said.
Plans are being made to set up a fossil park in the area, it said.

Comprehensive birth to 3 services
The Help Me Grow program, a communication and public awareness initiative for wellness programs at the Ohio department of Health, includes The integration of several birth to 3 programs into one consolidated initiative. Current birth to 3 programs that are included are Welcome Home and Early Intervention.
Scientific evidence suggests that a child's success significantly determined by The quality of nurturing in the first three years of life. Help Me Grow provides important information on prenatal and infant care and development, positive parenting, safety, and abuse prevention.
The goal of The Help Me Grow program is to assure that newborns, infants, and toddlers across Ohio have the best possible start to life. Through this integrated program, funding is provided that supports local efforts to:
Provide home visits to access the health of newborns and to help parents by providing information on child development and available programs and community resources;
Provide early identification of children with develop delays as well as information, guidance, and therapeutic interventions;
Provide up-to-date information on child health, development, early infant stimulation, and growth promoting activities;
Provide screenings for health, hearing, vision, and overall development;
Provide parents with information on social and emotional development that lays the foundation for later school success; and
Promote family literacy and support parents as full partners in their child's education.
Help Me Grow: A Wellness Guide for Mothers-to-be and Their Babies
, a 56- page magazine-style booklet, is distributed throughout Ohio and includes information about preventive health care and nutrition for expectant mothers and children up to age 2.
Help Me Grow Help Line
The statewide toll-free 1-800-755-4769 (GROW) help line responds to requests for information on health and social programs. You can also reach Paulding County's Help Me Grow directly at (419)399-4620 or 877-473-8166. The help tine's i-rained referral specialists provide personal assistance to callers within their own community. The help line provides callers with information and referrals to family related services.
Help Me Grow Programs
(1) Welcome Home provides home visits by a registered nurse to new parents. The home visit offers the earliest opportunity to provide families with the information and support they need to maximize the health and development of their infants. During a Welcome Home visit, a physical assessment of the newborn and mother is done; child development, health and safety information is shared with the parents; and referrals are made to available community resources.
(2) The Early Intervention program is a system of providers who work together to offer early identification and family-centered services to infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities and their families. The Early Intervention program ensures children receive appropriate medical care and therapies, encourages parents to utilize community resources and services, and assists them with understanding the present and future needs of their children.
(3) Home Visiting/Service Coordination
Home Visiting provides direct Services to infants and toddlers (birth to age 3) who are extremely vulnerable because environmental, family and health circumstances place them at risk for future developmental difficulties, abuse, or neglect. Home Visiting ensures children receive proper medical care, encourages parents to utilize community resources and services, and familiarizes them with present and future needs of their children.

We first encountered the "M" at the Toronto Auto Show a few months ago. This car caught our attention, the V8 version had our imagination fired up. Through a few scheduling challenges we finally have an opportunity with the V6 version.
Picking up the car our wisdom counseled us to wait till winter tires were installed, prior to driving away...good move.
Sometimes its tough being the big brother in the family. There is a lot of pressure to perform, excel, and represent the family. This job becomes twice as hard when you have a smaller sibling that is an over achiever. Surely this is how the M37s feels with its smaller sibling G37. In a market where most of the action is in the entry level luxury cars.
If you have forgotten what makes the smaller siblings so good, yes it was first used on the bigger brother, and eventually made it down to the little brother. For 2011 the M get a fresh redesign with 2 new engine choices a 3.7L V6 and a 5.6L V8. From a design perspective the M looks more muscular, with an aggressive stance compared to the previous M45. Being Infinti's halo car it is bristling with technology.
Our tester is the S version, which comes with an extensive list of features, from hard drive Navigation, Bose surround sound with 5.1 channel and 14 speakers including the seats, Bluetooth audio, active headlights, intelligent cruise control, a climate control system that imitates calming breezes, climate control front seats, blind spot monitors, lane departure monitor, the list goes on and on.
The interior is stunning, superbly finished, with supple leather, and Japanese Ash wood trim. Similar to the exterior styling, the interior has additional elegant flowing lines. The stitching on the seats, wood trim and door panels follow an "S" like pattern. There is not one straight line on this car, which is refreshing in a world where everyone wants to be like the Germans.
The seats are fully powered, very supportive, heated and cooled. The leather wrapped steering wheel also has a sport trim with a nice tactile feel, in addition to being power tilt and telescoping, and heated. The navigation system is very intuitive, with a substantial screen. The sound system is amazing, and truly generates a surround sound with the speakers in the seats. Streaming music via Bluetooth is a nice feature, or there is the 9 gb hard drive.
Another aspect of the car that surprises, is the amount of convenience and safety features. Traction control, abs, stability control are standard on most cars today. The M also has Blind Spot Intervention, Lane Departure, Intelligent Brake Assist, with collision warning to name a few. The seatbelt tightens up if the car does not like how you're driving. Are we humans such a threat to ourselves on the road that we need features like this? A car that steers, brakes, and punishes you (tightens up seatbelts) when you decide to be distracted, or put yourself at risk. That such features are available is a good thing, at times some of us forget how to drive, especially in the winter months.
The specifications, pricing and you can build your own "M"...here.
The car is exciting to drive, you can select several modes from although the normal or sport are our preferred modes. With the "eco" mode constantly reminding how to conserve fuel. This "S" version encourages spirited driving with 20 inch wheels, 4 wheel steering, strong brakes, and well sorted sport suspension. The car is precise, handles well, you feel as if your driving a car that is 250 kg less then its 1,800 kg weight. The steering is well weighted, with excellent feed back. Power is adequate, VQ engines are fantastic, revving freely to the 7,500 rpm limit. Although in this application it is loud, with an aggressive growl, where a refined swoosh would be required. The 7 speed automatic makes the car feel lively, in manual mode, the shift are fast, precise, and rival a dual clutch transmissions.
Its a phenomenal drivers car with the "S" package, a revelation for a mid size luxury sedan. To paraphrase the commercial. Have you ever driven a car that creates calming breezes, or a car with pure silver dust hand polished into the wood, or the world first blind spot intervention system, or 4 wheel active steering.. of course you haven't because there has never been a car like the all new Infiniti M.
If you are considering a luxury mid size sedan, you owe it to yourself to experience the "M" and initiate a wonderful intellectual debate on the benefits and virtues of the cars you are considering. The "M" will open new horizons on the benefits that you are seeking.
The quick review

The addition of U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin to the Republican presidential ticket lays the groundwork for a serious discussion of important issues.
Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney over the weekend injected a considerable measure of seriousness into a presidential campaign so far notable for its lack of that quality by selecting Wisconsin U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan as his vice presidential running mate.
The 42-year-old Ryan — a Catholic, a Green Bay Packers fan and a father of young children — is best known in Washington, D.C., as chairman of the U.S. House Budget Committee, a serious student of public policy and somewhat of a Boy Scout. He also has a reputation as a genial straight shooter who focuses on substance and makes it a point not to engage in personal political attacks.
In other words, what Ryan specializes in — honest discussion of issues — is exactly what this campaign has been lacking. He may not be entirely successful in changing the tone of the political back-and-forth, but it won't be for lack of trying.
It's been rumored for weeks that Romney would not wait for the Republican Party convention scheduled to be held in two weeks before choosing a running mate. He made that prediction come true over the weekend, choosing Ryan from among a number of prominent contenders.
In response, Democrats claim to be salivating over the opportunity to attack Ryan, focusing on Ryan's complicated budget-reduction proposals as well as his prescription for addressing Medicare's serious financial challenges.
Voters (and Republicans) ought to welcome this promised debate. These are important issues, and they deserve a thorough airing in this campaign.
Indeed, it's far better for the country to have the Democrats initiate an honest debate with Romney and Ryan about the financial challenges we face than continue the same bizarre attacks (Romney is a killer. Romney is a felon. Romney doesn't pay taxes. Romney's wife has a horse.) that they have launched against Romney. Unfortunately, Republicans have responded in kind with a series of withering assaults on Obama's record.
The public is ill-served by the kind of politically deceitful radio and TV advertisements we've seen so far. It's a mystery why anyone would believe such incredible tripe, but both political parties use these ads because they work.
However, they don't always work, and Ryan is an example of one politico who has survived this kind of demonization in the past without responding in kind.
Past anti-Ryan Democratic TV advertisements have actually featured a character identified as Ryan throwing a helpless grandmother off a cliff. That was the Democrats' idea of a reasoned discussion of Medicare-related issues. It didn't work not just because it wasn't true but because Ryan was willing and able to explain to voters' satisfaction why it wasn't true.
It's no secret that President Barack Obama's political advisers are placing their re-election hopes on waging a relentlessly negative campaign against Romney and now Ryan. As politics goes, that's not a bad strategy. It's intended to keep the focus off the incumbent's inability to get the economy out of the doldrums.
But the public deserves better than a war of 30-second TV and radio ads. It's our hope and expectation that Ryan will play a major role in seeing that the public gets the kind of substantive discussion so vital to the democratic process.
Paul Ryan talks about how he would revamp social security. The following is an exerpt from his wikepedia page, which may or may not be accurate.
"Ryan was born and raised in Janesville, Wisconsin [4], the youngest of four children of Elizabeth A. "Betty" (née Hutter) and Paul Murray Ryan, a lawyer [5].[6] [6][7] [7][8] [8] He is a fifth generation Wisconsinite.[6] [6][9] [9] His father was of Irish [10] ancestry and his mother is of German [11] and some English descent.[10] [12] His great-grandfather, Patrick William Ryan (1858–1917), founded the Ryan Incorporated Central construction business in 1884.[11] [13][12] [14][13] [15] Ryan's grandfather was appointed U.S. Attorney [16] for the Western District of Wisconsin [17] by President Calvin Coolidge [18].
......When Ryan was 16, his father died of a heart attack in bed and Ryan found him there............His father's death provided Ryan with Social Security [19] benefits until his 18th birthday, which he saved to pay for his education at Miami University of Ohio.[15] [20][16] [21]"
Nice how the N-G "compares" the lies spewed by the Romney campaign with the treatment of the presumptive nominee by the Democrats: The latter are called "bizarre attacks" and detailed and mocked, while the former are "withering assaults," with no suggestion that they are incorrect.
Let's look at Paul Ryan, shall we? He, through his wife's inheritance, is a multimillionaire at age 40. He has never worked outside of government. He has never had to earn a salary in order to eat. He has no foreign policy experience, and has never even been to Asia. He has no math or economics experience, yet is seen as a budget master (how's that again?). He is a proponent of Americans as some sort of master race, which is not only preposterous and insulting to citizens abroad, but it's scarily reminiscint of the worst aspects of the KKK and other neo-conservative organizations. Oh, and he's 42 years old. Remember those "withering assualts" the GOP laid on President Obama for being too young when he ran -- and he was 47 when elected. As Hank Hill would say, "That boy ain't right."
Do you think that the News Gazette is partisan in politics? Do you think that the media serves the citizens best interests when it is non-partisan? The least partisan political news source in the area is the PBS Newshour on WILL at 6:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday. I encourage you to watch it for a balanced perspective. Right now, this country desperately needs a balanced perspective in the media. Something between the Left, and the Right.
Yes; what did the historic naval vessel have to do with the nomination? None of the four candidates are veterans. Obama did not serve. Romney hid out in France during the Vietnam War. Biden took student deferments. Ryan did not service in any of the Gulf Wars. What was the need for a naval vessel backdrop? Oh..... it was cheesy patriotism at it's worst.

PHOENIX — In the Valley of the Sun, which remained a rumor Saturday, people lined up to buy umbrellas and plastic ponchos. They laughed about packing shorts and sandals.
For another overcast day leading to Super Bowl XLIX, the skies remained as cloudy as Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch's message, whatever it is, and enough rain spit from above to make all the cacti look misplaced. The desert region known for its dry heat had morphed into a damp, chilly mess by the end of a week that, meteorologically speaking, the local chamber of commerce will file under Worst-case Scenario.
Seattle weather.
To say a Seahawks victory is in the air alludes to the atmospheric...

Gary Ross Officially Departs 'Hunger Games' Sequel 'Catching Fire'
by Ethan Anderton
April 6, 2012
Source: The Playlist
Just this week we heard there we some tense negotiations between Lionsgate and director Gary Ross to return to the franchise he kicked off just last month with The Hunger Games. Word on the street from was that negotiations to have him helm The Hunger Games were already difficult because he had an Oscar nod in his past from Seabiscuit, and now that the franchise is a big cash cow, Ross is looking for a raise. Well, apparently talks have failed as The Playlist reports Ross has officially departed the franchise and will not sit in the director's chair for Catching Fire, the second installment in Suzanne Collins' popular trilogy.
However, while the trades have reported the issue about getting a raise, The Playlist has heard that Ross simply doesn't have a "burning desire" to spend another couple of years with the characters he helped bring to the big screen. In addition, apparently he already has some sort of unknown project in the works that will occupy his time instead of the franchise sequel. So now the question is who will step up to replace him in order to meet the already set November 22, 2013 release date. My choice is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Children of Men director Alfonso Cuaron, especially because of his experience with a post-apocalyptic world, and continuing a franchise respectfully while taking it to the next level. But there's a whole slew of qualified filmmakers from which to choose. Who should direct Catching Fire?

School readiness is a state at which all healthy young children arrive when they can respond appropriately to the environment of the school and the classroom (e.g., rules and regulations, curriculum activities, positive behavior in group settings, and directions and instructions from teachers and other adults in the school). They begin to perform tasks such as reciting the alphabet and counting; these tasks are required for learning more complex tasks such as reading and arithmetic. Classrooms often are divided into different learning centers and are equipped with developmentally appropriate materials for young children to play with and manipulate. Teachers and adults are trained to have direct conversations with children and make daily activities meaningful through the incorporation of children's experiences into the curriculum.
The classroom environment should be nurturing, supportive and successful for all students. To help make this true for students, teachers may need to make various adaptations to the classroom environment. Setting up small groups where learning activities are focused on specific skills may also be an option for providing greater challenges and expansion of content for students who are high-performers .
Teachers today are expected to prepare an ever more diverse group of students for much more challenging work such as framing problems; finding, integrating and synthesizing information; creating new solutions; learning on their own; and working cooperatively. You are also expected to possess substantially more knowledge and radically different skills than most now have and most schools of education now develop.
As a teacher, when you look back at your class and try to recall your group of children you are bound to recognize a percentage of students who are restless in class, take more time to learn new concepts, disturb the class, are noisy, shy away from participating, withdrawn, not talking, answer verbally but refuse to write, poor with spellings, have poor handwriting, show inappropriate behaviour, present reduced motivation to study, tend to get into fights frequently etc.
Some children may need more time to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to perform at the level of his or her peers. When young children are unable to respond appropriately to the classroom and school environment, they often are labeled as having some form of learning disabilities and are tracked in classrooms with curriculum designed to control their behaviors and responses. These children will require some individualized attention and customization of the classroom curriculum to help address their difficulties. 'FIVE' offers professional support in the learning environment of the child, such as the classroom and more broadly the school.
Our professionals work with teachers in the following ways in order to incorporate a more global enhancement approach to the learning process in children:
At FIVE, we provide support to teachers by raising awareness of how the developmental and learning processes in children affect their performance and how we can together with each other's expertise tackle the pitfalls that are faced in the classroom or within the school setting. Training can be in the form of workshops, seminars, discussion groups etc.
Back To Top
Assessments in schools have changed definition over the last couple of decades. Changes in the world around us and the skills and knowledge essential to succeed in this world have consequently changed the learning design and teaching methodologies in schools. This has in turn necessitated assessment strategies that keep in mind the relationship between assessment of functional skills of children and its implementation in academic instruction. The new world today expects more out of children than just the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic. They are expected to acquire skills to access, interpret, think critically, analyze, and use information for making decisions, make inferences and be prepared to take on the challenges of "real-life".
FIVE offers schools a range of culturally appropriate assessment tools.
An efficient Assessment Design must:
Develop a Curriculum design that incorporates instructional strategies focusing on the developmental process of children and its effect on their learning process.
Back To Top
Our Model of Integrated Service Delivery will be especially effective in schools ensuring an intervention program that is provided within the context of any educational environment. Modification of the professional's roles as diagnostician, facilitator, and team member enhances their involvement with the school personnel while maintaining their role as a health care provider where clinical strengths and liabilities are evaluated within the context of the student's natural environment and support systems.
We believe a resource center should be an integral part to any educational institution. Children with special needs should be given the opportunity to participate within their classroom with out feeling left out. Inclusion, by definition, refers not merely to the setting but to specially designed instruction and support for students with special needs in regular classrooms. We also recommend the pull out method which is used to teach new techniques and practice new skills with the goal of performance with in context for generalization. We can help you set up a resource center within the school premises.

Jerusalem (Jun. 16)
Students at the Bir Zeit University near Ramallah declared a general strike today to protest Israeli policy in the occupied territories. There were no classes either at the A-Najah College in Nablus. Students accused the Military Government of preventing them from entering the college.
Students at both colleges said today that this development indicated a new trend by the Military Government. They said the army intended to harass the students and the lecturers to frighten them and thus prevent any further escalation of the situation in the West Bank. They suggested that the Military Government did not want to close down the colleges altogether because of negative reactions in the past.
About 1,000 students and lecturers at Bir Zeit University joined a march yesterday from Bir Zeit to Ramallah protesting the arrests of "dozens" of students. The march was led by university vice president Dr. Gabi Baramki. The Military Government intends to press charges against him. The president was deported several years ago and has since directed the university's business from Beirut.
Military sources denied that there was a policy of harrassment. However, they stressed that they would maintain order and prevent any attempt to break the law.

- Said team had a good practice today, where they ran some "live" work, which is similar to how this entire Spring has been for the team as he amped up the physicality of this session this year.
- Pelini said of the format for Spring that there will be a division of the teams which will be meant to keep some balance on both sides, that being between the first and second units.
- Quarterbacks will not be wearing green jerseys, outside of sophomore Kody Spano who has been in a green jersey all Spring
- The clock will be normal for the first half, according to Pelini, and based on how the first half goes will dictate if they will have a running clock in the third. But Bo said that they will have a running clock in the fourth.
- Pelini said that there won't be much if anything in regard to scheming on offense.
- Ruled out right now is offensive tackle Jermarcus Hardrick and Mike Smith, who is playing on on the interior of the offensive line
- Offensively Pelini said he likes where the team is at right now. "I really like what we are doing. We're better. We're deeper. If we get everybody healthy, we have come a long way. I like what I've seen," Pelini said.
- On the physicality Pelini said this Spring was something else. "It was a physical Spring. There was a lot of live work. We got after it. It was all good on good from start to finish. We got a lot of guys reps. Everybody was out there working and given the opportunity to get better. It was very productive…very productive," he said.
- This Spring Game could serve as a major recruiting tool. Make sure to check out our updated list of all the players coming in, which includes commits set to enroll in the Summer and those for next year along with some of the best players from around the country coming in on their own dime. Pelini said that the atmosphere at Nebraska makes this a special opportunity for them. "It's big. It's not everywhere in the country you get a filled stadium for a Spring Game. It makes it unique," he said. "Obviously, we wouldn't be real excited about bringing recruits on campus if we were going to have ten thousand people. We have the unique environment here where we get a filled house and the people are excited about it. So, we use it to our advantage in recruiting."
- Henry has sat out the entire Spring which is obviously frustrating for him. But he's taken a lot of mental reps during that time. That's good, and it helps with certain aspects of the offense. But he said there's nothing like the real thing. "I'm just trying to make the most of it, but it's still not the same as going through it," he said.
- On the freshmen Henry said everyone is playing hard and picking stuff up quickly. He said that these youngsters even have a little bit of himself in them. Coincidence. "I think some of it is starting to rub off on them. I mean, it's crazy. It's different how everything has changed and these younger guys are just coming off (the line)," he said.

If the situation had been reversed, I would have told Jack all I knew, but I understood where Jack was coming from. And as soon as he told me about Fleishman and Hyland, I knew it was all over, that it was just a matter of time.
Actually, it was a matter of about three weeks.
It happened about 1 o`clock, on a late October afternoon, after the playoffs and the World Series were over. I was sitting in the Cinema Bar, a nice saloon above a theater across from the ballpark and about a block from KMOX, where I still went to work every afternoon to do the drive-time sports report at 5:30. I was sitting with an old friend of mine, Tom Sullivan, who was visiting St. Louis from California. We were having a few beers and reminiscing about old times when the telephone rang.
