Care in a crisis
Foster families step up when needed
Saturday, Mar 01, 2014 06:00 am
Who can be a foster parent?
� Cohabitating applicants must have been in a stable relationship for at least 12 months prior to applying
� Must be at least 18 years old. The maximum age will be determined by the best interests of the child.
� You have not had an additional child in the past 12 months and/or are not currently expecting an additional child thorough pregnancy or adoption
� You must be physically and mentally capable of meeting the child�s needs with no major illness or trauma in the past 12 months.
� You need to have your own residence (with your own address) separate and apart from other caregivers
Chris and Melissa Strike are licensed for one more child, but they�re putting that acquisition on hold for now. With nine in their family, it�s already a tight squeeze around the dinner table.
The couple has two biological daughters, three adopted children and two in foster care. They�ve been approved for another foster child but will wait before acting on that.
�We probably don�t look like the average family as we pile out of the Suburban, but there�s really nothing out of the ordinary,� Melissa says. �It might just seem like there is a few more people coming and going from the house.�
That�s because their house is always bustling with visits from social workers, caseworkers, friends, family and the children�s birth families. That�s the way it�s been for the nine years that the couple has been fostering children.
The Strike home is one of Alberta�s 2,300 approved foster homes, where there are more than 4,000 children currently in foster care. This does not include children placed with extended family members, group care, treatment or supported living facilities.
Over the past several months, the foster-care system in Alberta has been under intense scrutiny. A media investigation found the government reported less than half of the actual number of children that died in care since 1999. Only a fraction of the deaths were investigated and recommendations followed up.
Melissa defines a foster family as one that is willing to step in and provide a safe home for children while their birth families are in a time of crisis. She stresses that foster families are an extension of the children�s biological families, not a replacement.
�Fostering is one of the most rewarding things you can do because you�re not just helping that child, you�re helping that family become healthy and whole again,� she says.
While the rewards are there, being a foster parent involves real challenges.
Professional parents
Chris and Melissa talked about becoming foster parents before they were married. When their daughters Emily and Madison turned nine and 12, the couple felt it was the right time to add to the family. The girls were on board.
�My sister and I prayed so hard for a little brother,� says Emily, now 17.
Their prayers were soon answered with the arrival of Ian. Nathan, a newborn, followed eight months later. Then came a little girl named Anna.
The kids are now aged eight, seven and five. The family�s two foster daughters are four and two years old.
The ultimate goal of foster care, as stated in the Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act, is to return a child to his or her own family.
Between April and December 2013, more than 1,100 children were reunited with their families. But when reunification is not possible, caseworkers look for a permanent family for the child.
All of the Strikes� kids were placed with them through the province�s foster to adopt program, whereby the families are committed to providing a permanent home for the children if they become legally available to adopt.
Chris and Melissa adopted their first three foster children and plan to adopt the two that they�re currently fostering.
Melissa says she has good relationships with all the birth families, getting together for birthday parties and special family events a few times a year.
Although the children are still young they are aware that they have birth siblings and birth parents, also known as �tummy mummies�, she says. The foster-care system works to have siblings and cousins in the same home. If that�s not possible, it�s preferred that they get together regularly.
Family by choice
Edmonton residents Betty and Gordon Evans have fostered 40 children over the last 28 years. If she didn�t continue to foster, Betty would be able to retire or go on vacations without a boatload of kids.
�This is better than any trip I could ever go on,� she says. �It�s an amazing journey. Amazingly satisfying. But � fostering is not easy.�
The couple has two biological daughters, eight adopted children (all siblings) and four foster children.
All eight of the adopted children were exposed to drugs and alcohol in the womb. As a result, they all have symptoms on the fetal alcohol spectrum.
The same goes for the five children the Strikes have taken into care.
Each child has been affected in very different ways, from being small for their age, to experiencing learning difficulties or heightened light and noise sensitivity. The most severe case is their four-year-old foster daughter who is blind and autistic.
�We lovingly take in these sometimes very neglected, very abused kids into our home and try to get them healthy and better,� says Melissa.
The support system required for these youngsters includes doctors, therapists and respite workers. Melissa believes foster parents bear the brunt of systemic flaws and situations over which they sometimes have no control.
�The majority of us (foster parents) that love these kids and want the best for them and the families we are working with.�
Emily, who is graduating from Bellerose Composite High School this year, has learned an important lesson from observing the struggles of her younger siblings.
�I know not to drink or do drugs while you�re pregnant because I live with the consequences of their moms� actions every day,� she says.
Chris says there is a negative stigma associated with the foster-care system and the children who wind up needing care.
�People have a negative idea of fostering, not realizing that it is not the kid�s fault � that he or she is a foster child,� says Chris. �I like to see it as breaking the cycle. If there were no foster parents then these kids wouldn�t have the chances that they have.�
�That is the most important of all, that the cycle of neglect and abuse doesn�t continue into the next generation,� adds Evans. �Once you start having children placed, then you know why you�re doing it. We do make a difference in kids� lives.�

Braves fall to Nats in 11 after lengthy rain delay
Club drops 4 1/2 games back of first-place Washington in NL East
ATLANTA -- After waiting through an extremely long rain delay and then finding themselves playing extra innings in the wee hours of the morning, the Braves were obviously hoping to further distance themselves from the miseries they had encountered during their recent eight-game losing streak.
Instead their frustrations were extended as the Nationals constructed a three-run 11th inning and celebrated a 4-1 win early Sunday morning. En route to losing for the ninth time in their past 10 games, the Braves were reminded of the uncertainty that exists within a bullpen that was their strength last year.
"Our pitching staff is our best thing, and when we lose with them, we can't really get upset because they picked us up and carried us the whole year, so it's going to happen," Freddie Freeman said. "It's bound to happen and it's probably going to happen again, but as an offense, we've got to do a better job of getting more than one run."
David Carpenter proved perfect in the 10th inning and then allowed consecutive singles to Anthony Rendon and Adam LaRoche to begin the 11th. With left-handed slugger Bryce Harper coming to the plate with one out, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez called for southpaw James Russell, despite the fact that Russell has struggled against lefties (.314 batting average against, .368 OBP against) and handled righties (.113 BAA, .253 OBPA) well this year.
"That's what we got him for," Gonzalez said, indicating Russell should be viewed as as a left-handed specialist. "A situation that if you get just one left-hander out, you get Harper out, who hasn't particularly been swinging the bat really well in this series."
Harper, who had previously notched a pair of singles during the marathon affair, did not have to swing the bat as Russell walked him to load the bases. Gonzalez signaled for Anthony Varvaro to face right-handed catcher Wilson Ramos, who homered off Varvaro on Friday night. Varvaro, who had allowed at least one run in three of his previous five appearances, allowed Ramos to dink a decisive single to shallow center. Kevin Frandsen followed with two-run double that served as the crushing blow during a game that lasted three hours and 38 minutes and ended at 2:29 a.m. ET on Sunday.
When asked about only facing Harper, Russell said, "I'm supposed to get those guys out. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way. I'm not really used to pitching at 2 in the morning, but it's still something you've got to do no matter what."
Though they lost for just the 10th time in the past 31 meetings between these two teams, the Braves now find themselves 4 1/2 games behind the first-place Nationals in the National League East.
A rain delay of three hours and 41 minutes prevented the first pitch from being thrown until 10:51 p.m. ET on Saturday. According to Stats Inc., this was the latest any Major League Baseball game has started (local time) since the Braves waited until 10:53 p.m. to begin a June 17, 2013, game against the Mets.
"It's definitely tough to get hot and then sit down for four hours and try to get re-hot again, but it's our job and we still went out there and gave it our all," Freeman said.
The Braves could have ended the night earlier had they not botched a two-on, none-out situation in the fifth or at least scored more than one run after loading the bases with none out in the sixth.
Harang essentially killed the fifth-inning threat when his sacrifice bunt turned into a double play. Jason Heyward's game-tying sacrifice fly in the sixth inning proved to be the only damage done to Nats starter Tanner Roark over seven innings.
Heyward's shattered-bat sacrifice fly to center field enabled the Braves to erase the deficit they had incurred when LaRoche opened the sixth inning with his 16th home run of the season. LaRoche's shot over the right-center field wall accounted for the only blemish on the line produced by Harang, who allowed the one run and seven hits over seven innings.
"Harang gave us a [good] opportunity," Gonzalez said. "When it's the 10th inning there at 2 in the morning, you forget how well Harang pitched."

"Completely pleased with this design and product. Customer service was wonderful. Easy to design and edit online. Price is right. We received many compliments on these cards."
"The wedding postcard that I created on Wedding Paper Divas turned out beautifully and the quality of the paper was incredible. I am so pleased with the result and was thrilled to be sending out something that is top notch! Will definitely come here to order again."
"Just what we were looking for... a simple, elegant card to announce our wedding that could feature our picture. We appreciated the level of online customer service, particularly with respect to proofs."
"The postcard was beautiful. My only complaint is that the postcards are pretty small and you are limited to the amount you can type for your message on the back. This is probably so that you can still read the message after being stamped at the post office. Other than that, I was very satisfied. These were very classy."
"We recently had a private wedding and wanted to send something out that was casual yet personal and fun. The service was awesome. We received a call regarding one of our photos selected since it was going to be a bit blurry and we provided another one. They also contacted us regarding the verbage we used and to verify some information. We will most definely use them again for party invitations."

England are on the verge of a first Test win for almost a year, but at close of play on his birthday James Anderson still seemed unable to resist a party-piece contretemps with the opposition.
Even Friday's looming International Cricket Council disciplinary hearing, on a Level 3 charge for allegedly "abusing and pushing" Ravindra Jadeja, failed to deter England's famously grumpy fast bowler from apparently 'ear-bashing' India batsman Ajinkya Rahane as the teams left the field on day four of the third Investec Test.
Anderson had marked his 32nd birthday with a first-innings haul of five for 53 at the Ageas Bowl, to help England into a position where they need only six more wickets on the final day to level the series at 1-1.
But after Alastair Cook (70no) and Joe Root (56) had then helped England set a world-record target of 445 - and England reduced India to 112 for four - Anderson was spotted chuntering to the opposition by umpire Rod Tucker.
A ticking-off then came his way in return.
Root could offer no more details of events as he reflected on an otherwise excellent, if overdue day for English cricket.
"I wasn't aware that was at all the case," he said, at the suggestion Anderson had been at the centre of any ill-feeling.
"I'm sure it was absolutely nothing."
Anderson has often appeared to thrive by surrounding himself with an aggressive atmosphere on the pitch.
Root added: "It is obviously massive.
"Not only does he bring that, he brings his stats as well....(England's) leading wicket-taker across all formats.
"He's had it [aggression] all his career. He's done it fantastically well, and continued to take wickets."
There was no particular birthday feelgood factor either.
Asked if Anderson was more genial than usual, Root said: "No, he's grumpy because he's a year older."
India opener Shikhar Dhawan was already out when Anderson and Rahane had their disagreement.
When he was told about it later, he said: "That's normal. If he had words with him....it's normal in cricket.
"It happens sometimes....you just get on with it."
Any late aggro apart, England had much to smile about after putting themselves in such a strong position for a first Test win in 11 matches.
"I think as days of cricket go, that's one you want to have," said Root.
"To get the two early wickets we did was fantastic, and then a lot of credit has to go to Cookie - the way he set the game up with the bat, and the way he judged his innings was pretty much down to a tee.
"We wanted to have a good session at them tonight, and give ourselves a good score on the board.
"The way he played meant that guys like me, Ian (Bell) and Gary (Ballance) could be a bit more free at the other end.
"He won't get a lot of credit from a lot of people, but we know in our dressing room how big that was for us."
It was the spinners, rather than Anderson, who helped eke out England's evening wickets - along with an initial run-out.
Root added: "To go on and take four wickets was fantastic.
"We wanted to get at least a couple, but to make such good inroads was really pleasing.
"It's good to see a lot of guys back into form. Jimmy's got a 'five-for' under his belt, Ian with a big one and Cookie with back-to-back 50s.
"Now, pretty much everyone has contributed over the summer.
"We're really hungry for a win. It's been a long time now.
"That's all we're really bothered about."
Dhawan's assessment of conditions can only give England extra confidence that they can finish the job.
"The wicket has turn in it, and it's seaming a bit as well because of the rough patches," he said.
"It's not easy to bat on. Some balls are seaming, some keeping straight, sometimes turning.
"When you get out to a good one, you can't do much about it.
"It's going to be a bit hard....so we're going to (have to try) to build a big partnership."

WA designer Betty Tran plans to repay the Perth community for the blessings she has received since relocating from Vietnam by bringing her own version of The Apprentice to town.
Just six months after showing her first collection at Perth Fashion Week, Tran has already shown her collection at New York Fashion Week, has New York boutiques interested in stocking her designs and will see her clothes in upcoming editorials in fashion bibles Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.
She's just finished taking part in Catwalk for a Cause – a fashion fundraiser for a Ugandan all-girls school – and now she's working on a project that will pit university students against one another to win a one-year internship in the fashion industry.
"Change can start to happen from one little thing," she said.
"That's what I'm passionate about. I started off as a student myself and I know how hard it can be. I came here from a third world country and couldn't even speak English so for me, it's giving back, creating that opportunity and that's what I enjoy doing.
"I hope it inspires a lot of people to follow their dreams. People get close to getting what they want but give up because it gets too hard and they have to pay their bills and pay the rent. Obviously that's life, but I want people to be able to do both."
Just like in The Apprentice, hopefuls will have to complete a series of tasks, including putting together a fashion show in three days and raising money for charity, but Tran's version is tweaked.
"I'm going to do it differently with more mentoring," she said.
"It's not about being judged, it's about me giving them what they need so they can perform."
It's a world away from where an eight-year-old Tran thought she'd be at 25 years old; despite inheriting tailoring by blood, she never wanted to work with clothes.
When she left Vietnam seven years ago with her mother, who was pregnant with her younger sister, they need money to pay bills and that was what sent her into the workplace.
"The majority of learning has been from my mother," she said.
"I was five years old when I helped her doing the orders. So I grew up tailoring with Mum. I started with unpicking stitching and I hated it so much when I was eight years old I said to her 'I can't do this; this is too boring for me!'
"She is a very inspirational woman to me because she learned to become a tailor by doing it. She's a doer. She taught herself how to sew and she did it with such dedication, passion and commitment and that's how I grew up, seeing my mum like that.
"She would stay up til 4am finishing an order because she's given her word to someone. I inherited that from her. She probably worked 10 times harder than I do now, but it was a natural progression for me, to become a doer. I've watched her way of working my whole life and that was in my blood as well."
Tran had to learn English quickly and it was the 'doer' attitude she inherited from her mother that got them by with work with Pierucci, Morrison and Aurelio Costarella.
"She had a business in Vietnam but we moved to Perth and had to start from scratch again. She was pregnant with my younger sister and wanted to bring her somewhere nice," she said.
"Mum did what she was good at and I went out and got the jobs in for her.
"I just knocked on peoples doors and asked for jobs to do. I said 'If you give me a small order, I'll do it for free and show you how good I can be'. I didn't know what I was talking about back then, I don't know how I said that, but I just did it."
It was two years at university studying communications and public relations that made Tran realise she was moving in the wrong direction. She returned to what she knew and while she was studying three years of fashion and textiles she launched the label Betty Sugar – a sleek clothing line for younger women.
But when the global financial crisis hit Tran almost gave up.
"We're all human and life can come back at you at any time," Tran said.
"When I was doing Betty Sugar it got to the point of all stores closing down and I had to ask myself 'Am I going to keep going, or not? Because I'm not making any money at all.' I had bills to pay, my rent to pay, everything to pay for.
"Whatever money I earned in retail I put back into developing my new collection. It was my hobby, my dream and it completed me when I did it.
"Mum thought I was crazy, making clothes without a store to show them in but I said 'You'll see Mum, you'll see'. I showed Betty Tran at Perth Fashion Week and people loved it."
Four weeks ago, the entrepreneur opened her flagship store in Perth's new Raine Square development.
"It's all happened so fast," she said.
"We've done incredibly well and it's become a global brand in a very short amount of time."
Tran insists that her life story is sewn into the fabric of every piece and believes that is what people connect with in her clothes. She credits the opportunities she's been given with pushing her to succeed.
"I came from not having very much to start off with and starting from scratch it was very difficult for me to be in a position where I was successful," she said.
"I was always longing for opportunity to become successful and express myself to the fullest and I couldn't find that [in clothes] anywhere. I'm a busy person. When I was working in retail I worked three jobs a day. It was too fussy for me to change from this to that and I couldn't find anything; there was nothing out there for me. It was too dressy or too casual.
"It's my life story in that label. It's a system of dressing women to be empowered in what they do. It doesn't matter what job they're doing."
Tran names the ultimate Betty Tran woman as Michelle Obama, but also finds inspiration closer to home in Perth's Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffidi.
"She's an absolutely amazing leader," she said. "What I got inspired from is a woman like her; a woman actually making change in a small community and then on a bigger scale, to the world. That's what she's doing and that's what I want to do, give women the strength to do that."
Winning a university internship to work in a country of her choice gave Tran the motivation to keep pushing forward in the fashion industry, but her own version of The Apprentice was inspired by the Cartier Women's Initiatives Awards – which handpicks and supports female entrepreneurs – in which she was a finalist.
"I think it's amazing what they're doing, I was one of the finalists and I want to do the same thing," she said.
"I love the mentoring. People really underestimate how important that is. People make mistakes but if you've got the mentoring you will fast track and learn so much if you take it on board.
"In one week they'll have to perform a lot of tasks including putting up a fashion show in three days, or raising some money for a really worthy cause.
Tran hopes to open applications for the Betty Tran Entrepreneur of the Year in February to university students studying fashion, marketing and public relations, but said the successful applicant would need to be business-minded.
"I know how many people want to be in the fashion industry, but you need business sense as well as creativity," she said.
"You can't be an artist without knowing how to run a business, to become successful. You don't want to be Van Gogh and die before people start selling your paintings."
An industry panel will help Tran decide on the winner, but she believes they will be easy to identify.
"We'll structure the tasks and challenges in a way that will show their creativity as well as their business skills," she said.
"If it's not in their blood, it will show through the competition.
"If you're an entrepreneur, you'll always have the spirit in you, it doesn't matter what you're doing."

CANADA DEFEAT KENYA IN 1st T20i
After a pair of disappointing ODI losses at the hands of Kenya, Canada has hit back with a confident victory in the first of two T20i's from the ICC Global Cricket Academy in Dubai.
Winning the toss and electing to bat, the Kenyan's were immediately pegged back by opening spells from Henry Osinde (4-26-3 9.00RPO) and Junaid Siddiqui (4-10-3 2.50RPO). Osinde and Siddiqui took wickets at regular intevals leaving Kenya reeling at 45 for 6 in 7.2 overs before Rakep Patel led the recovery with Nelson Odhiambo, seeing Kenya to a respectable total of 127.
In reply, Canada lost skipper Rizwan Cheema cheaply in the 2nd over, however his opening partner Hiral Patel (40 from 40 balls) provided a handy knock which built partnerships with both Ruvindu Gunasekera (18 from 17 balls) and Nitish Kumar (18 from 12 balls) before falling in the 15th over with the run chase poised at 97-4. A flury of wickets in the middle order was halted by Jimmy Hansra and Usman Limbada who saw Cricket Canada over the line with 9 balls to spare.
Canadian spinner Junaid Siddiqui was named player of the match for his efforts in delivering the 2nd best performance by a Canadian bowler in T20i competition.
Canada will complete its T20 series with Kenya on Saturday before shifting to the ICUP fixture which starts on Monday.

The thought of piling brightening products on your already pasty, post-winter skin might bring to mind Mr. Lagerfeld's less-than-vibrant pallor, but the latest slew of products to hit the market promise to even out tone, smooth skin, and leave you more or less glowing, without the chalky (or worse—glittery) effect of past illuminators. These new formulas use iridescent particles and micro-shimmers to subtly reflect light, claiming to give you an instantly radiant complexion. So we put them to the test, enlisting Amber Stackhouse, a Roxy professional snowboarder, to rate their ability to reverse the effects of spending five days a week on the freezing slopes all winter. See for yourself how the newest brighteners fared in Stackhouse's post-winter regime.
"These are so great because, depending on the color you choose, it could be a shimmery bronzer, a blush, or an all-over illuminator," Stackhouse says. "The 'Shimmering Nude' color gave my face a nice "dewy" look, and it felt light on my skin. These are a must-have."

In this exercise you will use Flash Builder to create the application user interface for the fictitious Employee Portal: Vehicle Request Form shown in Figure 1.
In this section you will use Flash Builder Design mode to build the application user interface using Flex framework components.
Note: The Properties view is displayed by default on the right side of the Flash Builder user interface (see Figure 3).
Lastly you will add a Button control using Source mode. This allows you to avoid the label value that is created for you when you drop a control into the Form container in Design mode.
Form block and below the last
FormItem container, create a new
FormItem container block.
<s:FormItem label="Return Date:">
FormItem block, create a
Button control and a
label property with a value of

<s:Button label="Submit Request"/>
In this section you will run the application to view it in a browser.
You should see the application shown in Figure 12.
Note: You may have to resize your browser to see the whole application.
In this section you will use Design mode to create a CSS style from a Label control.
You should see the Styles.css file open in Flash Builder (see Figure 16). You should also see the Styles.css file in the Package Explorer view within the default package.

Switch to ex1_02_starter.mxml.
Note the new layout of the Label control.
In this section you will use the Flex video components to add a video to the application.
You should see the video next to the Pickup Date field in the Form container (see Figure 20). Note that the VideoDisplay control has no playback controls.
The VideoPlayer control now has a play/pause button, a seek bar, volume controls, and a full-screen option embedded with it (see Figure 21). Also note that the video starts automatically when the application launches.

VideoPlayer control and set its value to
Save the file and run the application.
You should see that the video does not start when the application is launched.
In this section, you will apply a pre-made skin to the Application container using the
skinClass property. You will also modify the skin background.
The AppSkin.mxml file is based on the SparkSkin class and consists of two required states (
normal and
disabled) and a
Metadata block. You will learn more about states in later videos; for now just understand that these two are required in a skin.
HostComponent() method located within the
MetaData block is a contract between the skin and the spark.components.Application container class. This gives the AppSkin.mxml skin class access to the public properties of the Application container class and allows the file to be used as a skin for the Application container. The
Rect block draws the application background, in this case, setting it to a gray color. The required Group container with an
id property of
contentGroup represents all of the content within the Application container.

Note: If you used the content assist tool to add the value to the
skinClass property, you will see that a
Script block and
import statement are generated. Neither the
Script block nor the
import statement are needed and may be deleted from the application.
Note that the application is skinned with a grey background (see Figure 23). Also note that the Employee Portal: Vehicle Request Form Label control is not centered in the application.

x property was automatically added to your code when you dropped the Label control onto the stage in Design mode.
Save the file and run the application.
It is a subtle change, but you should see that the Label control is now centered in the application.
Note that the
contentGroup Group container at the end of the file horizontally centers the application content and lays out the elements vertically:
<s:Group id="contentGroup"
Note also that the
Rectangle component is horizontally centered with
fill, and
stroke properties:
<s:Rect horizontalCenter="0" width="400" height="100%">
<s:SolidColor color="#CCCCCC" />
<s:SolidColorStroke color="#AAAAAA" />

width="750" height="100%"
radiusX="10" >
fill block, change the value of the
SolidColor graphic's color property to
<s:SolidColor color="#FFFBCF" />
The background color of the skin is now light yellow, the corners are rounded, and there is some space between the tops and bottoms of the rounded rectangle and the browser window (see Figure 24).

bottom property with a value of 20.
<s:Group id="contentGroup"
top="20" bottom="20"
Save the file and run the application.
You should see that the bottom of the application now resizes appropriately. Note that the space between the bottom of the rectangle and the bottom of the browser window stays the same when you enlarge the browser. However, when you make the browser smaller, notice that the content does not automatically center (see Figure 25).

Note that the application moves and resizes appropriately when you make the browser window larger or smaller.
By default, the Flex components use either the Spark or MX themes. In this section you will use the Flash Builder Theme Browser to change the application theme to a different look and feel.
The application controls are now styled using the Sky theme (see Figure 28).
In this exercise you learned how to create a Flex application and navigate Flash Builder 4.5. In the next excercise, you learn how to customize Flex components and bind them to data to create an auto-generating email address.

Title: Leave Me Breathless
Series: Ross Siblings, Book 3
Author: Cherrie Lynn
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Sensuality Rating: Steamy
Source: borrowed
Published: November 6, 2012 by Samhain
Leather and lace don't strike sparks. Or do they?
It's Valentine's Day, but Macy Rodgers isn't feeling the love. Aside from a torrid, one-night fling in a backseat a few months back, her love life has been sorely lacking, but fortunately she has devious friends who feel like playing Cupid. Wouldn't they be shocked to learn that the match they've made for her is the same one that steamed up the back of that '69 GTO...
Seth "Ghost" Warren has just returned to town after an extended absence. Between his grandmother's failing health, his job as a tattoo artist, his band's gigs, and a crazy ex that won't leave him alone, he's stretched thin. Cautious cowgirl Macy is the last thing he needs thrown into the mix.
She's all country, he's all heavy metal—and Macy knows that if anyone can propel her out of her rut, it's Seth. But when their worlds collide, it's anyone guess if they'll survive with their hearts intact.
Warning: Contains explicit sex, graphic language, road trips, troublemaking exes, emotional baggage, and an unconventional but exceptionally hot hero tatted and pierced for your pleasure...
Why I Read this Book: As soon as I found out the hero in this book has a pierced peen, I had to read it! And that's not all Seth has pierced ;)
What I Liked: I'm going to make a confession: I usually don't like bald guys. The first image that comes to my mind is Mr. Clean. But I have learned to picture Vin Diesel and all is good.
Seth is different than your average hero but he's a good guy. He's all tat'd up, has nipple rings, has his peen pierced, and is very into heavy metal. He's so raw and gritty, I love it! At the same time, he's well-rounded. He was raised right and knows how to be a gentleman, while being himself at the same time.
The progression of Macy and Seth's relationship paced well. Their initial meeting and hook up takes place in another book (I'm thinking book 2) so I missed out on their vehicular "relations" (damn it!!). From what I gathered in flashbacks in this book, it was pretty hot. I'll definitely have to go back and read books 1 and 2. I also liked Brian and Candace and would love to read their book and see how their relationship came to be.
There was some hilarious banter, not only between Seth and Macy but Seth and Brian (Seth's BFF) as well. That's a great camaraderie right there, Seth and Brian. Says Seth to Brian:
"Do you need a hug, emo boy? You know, you might want to cross your legs. Your vagina is showing."
And speaking of hilarity, the story behind Seth's nickname 'Ghost' was fan-freakin-tastic!!
What I Didn't Like: It's infuriating to me when a heroine hides the fact that she's still friends with an ex from the hero. Worse is when she hangs out with the ex and doesn't tell the hero this. She thinks there's nothing wrong with this yet if that were true, she would have mentioned it to the hero because it would be no big deal. We all know how well that turns out because the hero is bound to find and it bombs on the heroine big time. I can see plot device coming from a mile away because it's too predictable.
Memorable Moments:
"Where you trying to go, huh? Come on me, Macy. Come on me, or I'll take you outside and make you scream right there on the front lawn for the whole fuckin' neighborhood to hear."
"You would wreck me, you know that?"
"Because I'm telling you, if you come near him like that again, I will go straight country bitch on you."
Overall Impression: Leave Me Breathless did just that – it left me breathless. There were some intense moments but I was completely engaged in this story from beginning to end. All in all, it was a great story of two very different people, the Rodeo Queen and the heavy metal guitarist, falling in love. And while there were some very steamy scenes, there was more to their relationship than just sex.

Mirabella Plunkett (b. 1839) was a witch, famous for falling in love with a merman. After she was forbidden to marry him, she transfigured herself into a haddock and was never seen again. She was featured on a Chocolate Frog Card and on a portrait hung at Hogwarts Castle.
Early life
Ms. Plunkett was born in the year 1839.
Holidaying in Loch Lomond
At some point in her life, she travelled to Loch Lomond on holiday. During this holiday, the witch met a merman and, eventually, fell in love with him. The feelings were most likely reciprocated by the merman.[2]
Planning to marry
Mirabella was more and more in love with the merman. They decided to marry, to Mirabella's family's displeasure. They were opposed to the whole marriage and, as Mirabella did not listen to them, they eventually forbid Mirabella to marry the merman. She became distraught.
Turning into a haddock
Her family did not back away with their ban on the marriage. Upset, Mirabella transfigured herself into a haddock and was never seen again. It's unknown if she ever returned to her merman lover once in her haddock form.
After her disappearance, Mirabella was not forgotten; she was included in the Chocolate Frog Cards collection. Also, there was a portrait of her hung at Hogwarts Castle, guarding a secret shortcut between the first-floor landing of the Grand Staircase and the Entrance Hall side room. The password required to gain access to said shortcut was Haddock.[3]
The name "Mirabella" is derived from Latin mirabilis, "wonderful".

- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game) (Appears on a Famous Wizard Card) (Appears in portrait(s))
Notes and references
- ↑ She is most likely an Animagus, but she also might have transfigured herself into a haddock, causing her to start thinking like a haddock and lose the ability to reason as a human.
- ↑ Seen as they decided to marry. There is, however, a small chance Mirabella wanted to marry against the merman's will.

Frankly, I don't believe I've been very useful to you because I'm just not "up" on this dealing directly with Apache (cPanel is my "crutch").
I'm a bit concerned with "FakeBasicAuth", though. Try a search at apache.org for that before going to Google for information as that's what I'd have to do.
It's a miracle! )))))))
The old error disappeared! )))))
A new error: "Encountered FakeBasicAuth spoof"
Thank you!!!
We will solve the next problem?

Recreating all the certificates. Trying on a virtual machine

Indeed! M$ has never been much of a fan of security and, what they do, they reinvent (or ... well, I won't get into their business ethics) how to do things (just to remain incompatible, I believe) so they won't use the standard encryption for passwords.
Oh, well, here are some Google searches of use to you: apache password protect directory and apache password generator which give you [Authentication, Authorization and Access Control and [url=http://web9.2020media.com/other/htpasswd.jsp]Apache Password Generator](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/auth.html).
There WinDoze - there is a problem, yes? (((

Why Sign works with # SSLOptions FakeBasicAuth ?
Maybe it's bug Apache?
hmmmm... All Internet searched ... no solution (((I will continue to look...
All rechecked. Amended. Now people in the client certificate authentication is automatic (I do not have such)
AuthUserFile "C:/passwd"
Understands the only such option
Apache Password Generator does not help. Helps only plain text «password»
The challenge: how to bind an account of his certificates are not resolved.
Everything works! But only works with the password "password" and it applies automatically, rather than entered manually by users: (
FakeBasicAuthWhen this option is enabled, the Subject Distinguished Name (DN) of the Client X509 Certificate is translated into a HTTP Basic Authorization username. This means that the standard Apache authentication methods can be used for access control. The user name is just the Subject of the Client's X509 Certificate (can be determined by running OpenSSL's openssl x509 command: openssl x509 -noout -subject -in certificate.crt). Note that no password is obtained from the user. Every entry in the user file needs this password: xxj31ZMTZzkVA'', which is the DES-encrypted version of the word `password''. Those who live under MD5-based encryption (for instance under FreeBSD or BSD/OS, etc.) should use the following MD5 hash of the same word: $1$OXLyS...$Owx8s2/m9/gfkcRVXzgoE/''.
From memory (rusty now, of course), that should ask you for the title of the password window Apache will present as well as the location of the username : password file. From memory (again), Windows does NOT create that file properly so you'll need to look for an application online which can create the passwords for you in the proper format (those pages will normally also provide a full documentation on how to create, store and use the password protection scheme).
I'm NOT much help in this regard as I'm on a WinDoze box as a test server but leave all this to cPanel on the production server. cPanel takes all the pain out of this process so I've gotten lazy (lazier? :lol: ) in my old age.
Hello dklynn!
In my case, what should I enter in the authorization window?
Thank you! Without your help I would have understood with one error - authentication failure for "/"
I understand you. If you have any ideas, then write. I'll wait.
I have not found an answer. I will look further.Thanks again for your help!
I could not find information on CN: (Can or not to register the IP address in CN?
All checked this linkhttp://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_howto.html#accesscontrolWhat is the cause mistake I did not understand. I want to solve this problem. Maybe you know the developers of Apache? Maybe they ask what the reason for the error? I understood that I was doing wrong.
Please do not worry about the language (other than that English use is required). I remember almost nothing of my university Russian, high school French or my junior high (middle school?) Latin. In other words, your English is much better than my {any other human language}.
Now, to your question: Although I insist on a Linux box for a production server, I rely on WHM/cPanel to deal with the (signed) Secure Server Certificates as well as password protecting directories. Of course, I supplement each with both mod_rewrite and PHP scripts to ensure that "secure" pages are processed via SSL and "casual" pages are not.
Because it's after midnight (and I'm up to my ears in preparing taxes), I can't go research at Apache.org but it's my feeling that you're making it more complicated than necessary: Use the Secure Server Certificate to have your pages encrypted and use password protected directories deal with the directory permissions.
Aw, from http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_howto.html#accesscontrol, it appears that you're doing everything right except for (possibly) including the last bits about mod_rewrite (with the correct IP address, of course):
# Force clients from the Internet to use HTTPS
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^192\\.168\\.1\\.[0-9]+$
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* - [F]
That merely FAILs any request from the LAN (192.168.1.x) which is not using the Secure Server.
Other than that, tonight, my brain is fried and I'm headed to bed.
Then editing \Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf
Thank you for your reply! This question is asked in different forums and only you responded. My English is not very good. I would be grateful if you would write in simple language.
When you create a certificate, you can write in commonName IP-address?
If I disconnect «SSLOptions FakeBasicAuth» (#SSLOptions FakeBasicAuth), then everything works. But in this decision is not binding the certificate to the user account.

At Girls on the Run we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Trained coaches lead small teams through our research-based curricula which includes dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Over the course of the ten-week program, girls in 3rd-8th grade develop essential skills to help them navigate their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health and fitness. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5K event.
Girls face social pressures and conflicting messages about how they should act and
who they should be. Studies show that by adolescence, girls' confidence drops about
twice as much as boys'. Friendships become more complicated and challenging, girls'
perception of their academic ability declines, the likelihood of anxiety and depression
increases and participation in physical activity plummets.
It doesn't have to be this way.
We believe that EVERY GIRL is inherently FULL OF POWER and POTENTIAL.
By knowing they are the leaders of their lives, these are the girls who
Lessons are designed to build girls' self-worth and help them feel greater
confidence in who they are. Activities help girls recognize their personal strengths and teach
them how to stand up for themselves and others.
By gaining awareness of the power they possess to make intentional decisions,
girls learn to choose positive actions which demonstrate respect
and responsibility towards themselves and others.
Throughout each season, girls learn to respond to others and themselves with care
and compassion. Lessons and activities further develop their abilities to
sympathize and empathize both within and beyond their social groups.
Girls on the Run lessons focus on cooperative skills and team building through
a positive group setting. Girls learn firsthand how to create positive connections with
parents and caregivers, teachers, peers and their communities.
Our program provides skill-building experiences to nurture girls' physical, social
and emotional competencies that they apply in other areas of their lives such as home,
school, and in the neighborhood. Completing a 5K at the end of the season gives
them a tangible opportunity to apply all that they have learned.
When girls develop and strengthen these life skills, they can thrive. More
importantly, they can then develop a final skill:
CONTRIBUTION. Girls on the
Run inspires girls to build lives of purpose and to make a meaningful contribution
to community and society. This comes to life through a key element of the
curricula when each team creates and executes a community service project.
Girls on the Run is our program for girls in 3rd-5th grade that encourages girls to recognize their individual strengths and celebrate connections with others. Each season, girls gain a better understanding of who they are and what's important to
them, the value of teamwork and healthy relationships and how they can have a positive impact on the world. Girls also make a meaningful contribution to their community through a team-organized Community Impact Project. Physical activity is woven into the program to inspire an appreciation for fitness and healthy habits and teach life skills including treating others with care, practicing gratitude and managing emotions. Each season culminates with a Girls on the Run 5K event. This celebratory, non-competitive event provides girls with a sense of accomplishment and instills the value of goal setting at a young age.
Heart & Sole is Girls on the Run's middle school program that meets the unique needs of girls in 6th-8th grade. The program considers the whole girl - body, brain, heart, spirit and social connection - in a positive, structured space where girls can learn
about themselves, explore new ideas, cultivate empathy and strengthen connections. Running is incorporated into each lesson to encourage physical wellness and teach life skills such as team building, creating a support system, standing up for themselves and others and decision making. The girls prepare for a celebratory Girls on the Run 5K event at the end of the program. This non-competitive event fosters goal setting and a sense of confidence through accomplishment to last a lifetime.
We encourage and appreciate students at this level getting involved as volunteers and coaches. These opportunities include junior coaches and 5K volunteers.
We believe in the limitless potential of each girl we serve and focus on strengths and abilities rather than risks or challenges. Girls on the Run fosters an inclusive environment and offers the opportunity for all girls to participate, regardless of financial situation, through scholarships.
Girls on the Run is the only national physical activity-based positive youth development program for girls with compelling evidence of program impact.
In 2016, an independent study led by Dr. Maureen Weiss, University of Minnesota, evaluated the impact of Girls on the Run on positive youth development. The findings provide strong evidence that Girls on the Run is effective in promoting season-long and lasting change in competence, confidence, connection, character, caring, physical activity, and life skills. In addition, Girls on the Run makes a stronger impact than organized sports and physical education programs in teaching life skills such as managing emotions, resolving conflict, helping others, and making intentional decisions.

Williams-Sonoma | Perfect Endings Heart Cake
Could I really? Probably. Would I really? Probably not. I love it anyway and can dream about the day when I'm organized to do this for an adorably sweet ending to a perfectly timed Valentine's day feast.
I don't know if I've ever actually had red velvet cake, but man, people sure do love it. Add to the love with a heart shaped version! Is it worth the price? I couldn't say, but it's still tres adorable.Tags: cakes, Williams-Sonoma, red velvet cake, perfect endings heart cake, heart cakes, william sonoma cakes, perfect endings cake, red velvet heart cake, heart shaped wedding cakesAdded 9 Years Ago from Williams-Sonoma

Dooley: Delany makes sense
Published: Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 8:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 2, 2013 at 9:35 p.m.
It has been crazy over the last week or so and this might be a story you missed. It's big.
Bigger than Lane Kiffin getting fired.
Bigger than the government shutting down.
Bigger than the Miley Cyrus pregnancy rumor.
Here's what you missed — Jim Delany said something I totally agree with.
The Big Ten-ish commissioner and I rarely see eye-to-eye on anything (like naming your divisions Legends and Leaders), but on this we are in total agreement.
What Delany said may have shocked some people, but he was making his point in a demonstrative manner, which is his style. Here is some of what he said:
"Maybe in football and basketball, it would work better if more kids had a chance to go directly into the professional ranks. If they're not comfortable and want to monetize, let the minor leagues flourish. Train at IMG, get agents to invest in your body, get agents to invest in your likeness and establish it on your own. But don't come here and say, 'We want to be paid $25,000 or $50,000.' Go to the D-League and get it, go to the NBA and get it, go to the NFL and get it. Don't ask us what we've been doing.
"If an athlete wants to professionalize themselves, professionalize themselves. We've been training kids for professional sports."
It's a bold statement because we all know that high school football players are not going to go directly to the NFL and high school basketball players aren't allowed to by the NBA. Delany's comments were not meant to change the landscape, but to change public opinion.
The general public (and that includes ill-informed TV and radio hosts) believe college athletes in football and basketball are being exploited for their talents. Many believe a college football player should be able to sign his name and be paid for it because it's his name. (Like Johnny Manziel's signature would be worth anything if he hadn't played at Texas A&M).
They believe the billions brought in by football and basketball should be redistributed to the players on the fields and courts across America.
You hear rumblings about pay-for-play, about turning college football's two biggest sports into the Olympic model.
To hear some people talk about it, the athletic departments around this country are reaping all the benefits and the student-athletes are doing all the work.
But Delany's point, one that was echoed by Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley when I spoke to him this week, is that these athletes don't have to come to college. If they do, these schools will give them an unbelievable opportunity to get an education at a minimum. They will also train you, coach you, house you, feed you, take care of you when you are sick, pay for any operation or rehab you may need and tutor you.
"Everyone believes we should do more in terms of cost of attendance," Foley said. "But if people don't want to come to college, they don't have to. If you want to play in the NFL or NBA, you can go train somewhere.
"We get a lot from our student-athletes. That's why we're here. But it's not a one-way street. That's what Jim was saying. It's a very good relationship where everyone is getting benefits. People lose that perspective. The institutions provide more than a scholarship for the athletes."
The Revolution is far from over and we are on the verge of major changes in college football. I don't think there is any question that the Power Five Conferences are going to pull away from the other schools if for no other reason than to provide the stipend that everyone has been talking about. As it stands now, the Floridas and Alabamas and Michigans are going to be voted down on stipends by schools that cannot afford it.
"Change like that is in the wind," Foley said. "That's coming down the road."
But we're not talking about the professionalization of college sports. We're just talking about providing a little extra to allow the families of athletes to see their kids play on the road or in bowl games.
If you want to make the big money, well, the NFL and NBA are waiting for you. I've talked to many coaches and there is only one player who I've ever heard was ready for the NFL coming out of high school — Adrian Peterson.
The rest of them have needed weight training and nutrition and fundamentals and film study, all provided free of charge by football programs around the country.
It's different in the NBA, where players are more pro-ready at a younger age. The one-and-done rule is the NBA's and unlikely to change. It's a bad rule for the college game. Maybe the NCAA should declare freshmen hoopsters ineligible again. Or at least threaten to do it.
That's a problem that may never be solved, but that's not the issue here. The issue is the two-way street between athletes and athletic programs. It may not be lined with gold and has plenty of potholes. But there is opportunity at every corner.

Over the past few months we have been experimenting with a new (to us) methodology: live web-based user interaction studies. This methodology allows us to observe and interview, in real-time, a user on Adobe's online Help and Support pages who is trying to solve a problem.
How it works:
Using a service called Ethnio, we are able to set up a screener that pops up to visitors on a certain page. If the user is interested in participating, he or she is asked to fill out a short survey and to provide us with his/her phone number. We are then able to immediately phone the user and conduct the interview and directly investigate his or her experience of trying to solve a problem using the Adobe site.
Example Study – Printing Tips
The most frequently visited document in the Adobe.com knowledge base is Printing Tips – an article helping users with common printing tasks in Acrobat/Reader. This document was receiving 5 million page views per month. The vast majority of visitors arrive at this page through a button in the printer dialog box labeled 'Printing Tips.' When you click this button, you are taken to the Printing Tips web page.
Aside from being so highly trafficked, this document also had a poor user rating (~50%), making it a sensible target for improvement. The Printing Improvement team had analyzed a lot of data from different sources including web analytics and text analysis of user comments. This analysis led the team to make several well thought out content improvements to the document. Despite these efforts, the user rating didn't budge and remained at 50%.
It was clear to the team that they needed a deeper understanding of the customer experience in order to improve the document, and so we conducted a study piloting the user interaction methodology. We had 4 main questions for users:
- What problem were you trying to solve?
- How did you get to this page?
- What were you expecting when you clicked the Printing Tips button?
- Did the page help solve your problem?
After conducting 7 interviews, we discovered that users were coming to the page by accident, in the course of testing each element in the print dialog box, which included the Printing Tips button. The true source of the pain was not poor content but a confusing dialog box.
The Printing Improvement team was able to use these findings to actually improve the print dialog box.
When to use interaction studies:
In our group, we advocate using this methodology when you have some sort of mystery to solve about user behavior. If users are behaving in a way you don't understand and the quantitative data available isn't providing you with the necessary insights, and you have a focused research question, a user interaction study may be beneficial. However, we also have some guidelines about when NOT to use an interaction study:
- When you already have a pretty good idea about what is going on – user interaction studies are time-intensive; and
- When you are trying to identify a pattern – interaction studies can provide hints and insights, but the number of participants is generally too few for us to generalize our results to the general population.

A Birthday Salute to Tilda Swinton's Wonderfully Wacky Red Carpet Style
In honor of Tilda Swinton's 52nd birthday, we've rounded up 10 of her most spectacular and unique red carpet looks. Happy birthday, Tilda!
-Lucia Peters
Confession: I adore Tilda Swinton. She may be a little wacky, but seriously, she's the best. Besides the fact that she's one heck of an actress (seriously—name something Tilda Swinton has done that she's been bad in. Give up? Me too, because she's never bad!), one of my favorite things about Tilda is the fact that she wears whatever she wants—and somehow, no matter how weird the ensemble, she always pulls it off. Or at least, we never question it, because it's Tilda. That, my friends, is a rare gift indeed.
So in honor of this force of nature's 52nd birthday, here's a look back at some of her best looks. Happy birthday, Tilda—and may there be many, many more to come!
1. Rhapsody in Blue
This is both one of Tilda's most recent red carpet looks, as well as my all-time favorite of her outfits. She's well known for her affinity for clean lines and impeccable tailoring, and this structured, yet flowing sky-blue confection exemplifies everything that we all love about Tilda's style. Plus, does that color look terrific on her or what?
Read From Cupcakes to Elmo: A Birthday Salute to Katy Perry's Boobs (Probably NSFW)
2. Guess Who's Wearing the Pants in This Relationship?
In a sea of sumptuous dresses and gowns, Tilda often stands out from the crowd by sporting neatly tailored suits and trouser-based looks. At the 2011 BAFTAS, she looked like the proverbial million bucks in a black Haider Ackermann suit with satin lapels accenting the waistcoat. Love!
Up next: Life imitating art and more!

Trendsetting home-furnishings manufacturer Arteriors, based in Carrollton, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year and debuts a new showroom at the Dallas International Lighting Market, held in conjunction with the Total Home & Gift Market, which concludes Tuesday.
The new 1,200-square-foot space in the Trade Mart showcases 300 lamps, pendants and chandeliers as well as furniture, wall decor and accessories that are a smaller part of the line. Arteriors will keep its 800-plus selection for designers, architects and home-furnishing retailers in the World Trade Center's In-Detail showroom.
"The Dallas Arteriors showroom is part of a natural progression for the brand," says Mark Moussa, the company's founder and creative director. "It's a part of the evolution to better service the lighting showrooms that have different needs than our current customers."
Unlike its cheery In-Detail real estate and West Lovers Lane discount shop Arteriors Too, the new showroom has an elegant, minimalist aesthetic that some might even call sexy. Credit the heavy dose of industrial fittings, antique brass and worn wood fixtures accented with Barry Dixon's deep-green Amazon color for C2 Paint.
"It's a dark cocoon of color, raw cement floor and a carefully edited selection of lighting products cross-merchandised with some of our best-selling furniture pieces and accessories," says Moussa, 54.
Several new items just hit the floor for market. Moussa notes a few favorites including Adele, a brass pendant, and the Charlotte Vintage Chain chandelier that's constructed from thousands of weathered metal bead chains that swing and undulate like silken fringe.
The showroom also houses Arteriors' long-standing best-sellers and staples — drippy wood-beaded chandeliers, colorful gourd table lamps, glam floor lamps — as well as its collaborative collections with interior designers Lisa Luby Ryan of Dallas, Barry Dixon of Virginia and Laura Kirar of New York.
Setting the showroom apart from the pack is Mottega by Arteriors, a customizable lamp program via iPad that ships within 72 hours. Customers are invited to build a table lamp in five easy steps with the help of a showroom assistant and floor samples.

Friends of Ewan Williamson, who died after collapsing in extreme heat during a WA bushwalk, have described the Scottish teenager as "one of the kindest and funniest guys you would ever meet".
Police identified the teenager who tragically died after collapsing during a hike near Exmouth as Ewan Williamson on Sunday.
The 14-year-old from Largs in North Ayrshire, Scotland, had only been in WA for a few weeks and was visiting his father.
Friends who were at the Largs Academy school with the teenager took to Facebook to express their shock over the tragedy.
Robert Galloway posted: "He was possibly one of the kindest and funniest guys you would ever meet. Can't imagine what his family are going through. He could of had great life coming for him and now it's all gone. Just now we're all here feeling so sorry for him and I'm sure he really appreciates it up in heaven."
Another mourner Nicole England posted: "R.I.P Euan Williamson! [SIC] This is a tragic accident and my heart goes out to each and every family member of yours, gone but never forgotten".
A spokesman for North Ayrshire Council in Scotland also issued a statement following his death.
"Members of staff at Largs Academy were informed shortly before the school closed on Friday.
"We would like to extend our sympathies to the family and will offer pupils any counselling and support they require when they return to school".
Police confirmed he had been walking with his father, who lives in Geraldton, along the Badjirrajirra Creek in the Cape Range National Park about 20 kilometres south of Exmouth on Friday.
Although the cause of death is yet to be determined it is believed the pair set off with little water and he fell victim to dehydration as temperatures in the region soared above 40 degrees, with few places to find shade.
Police say the boy's father rang triple-0 and the pair were found shortly after, around 700 metres down a gully, and near the car park of the Badjirrajirra Creek walk.
Conditions were hazardous, a police statement said, with "rough terrain and high temperature".
Police carried the boy to the car park and St John Ambulance officers arrived soon after.
He was then taken to Exmouth Hospital, where he died in the early evening.
Police are now preparing a report for the Coroner.

LAS VEGAS - A former Florida high school teacher and football coach is due to testify that he endured challenges and racial insults from a Utah man he's accused of killing with a single punch outside a Las Vegas Strip casino restroom.
Benjamin Gerard Hawkins is expected to testify Thursday in his involuntary manslaughter trial. He could face probation or up to four years in prison in the July 2011 death of 38-year-old John Massie.
Hawkins is black. Massie was white. Hawkins told a casino security guard and police he was defending himself after Massie made derogatory comments about a "black man in a yellow shirt" in a restroom at O'Shea's Las Vegas Casino.
Hawkins was assigned administrative tasks at Bradford County High School in Starke, Fla., pending the outcome of the case.

Watch the Throne
In marketing circles, there may be no higher aspiration than to turn a company into a "lifestyle brand"—the overused, albeit elastic, coinage that has something to do with everything from Pepsi's estimated $50 million deal with Beyoncé to how Tory Burch positions itself. But if ever there were an entrepreneur who was born into the business of living beautifully, it is Aerin Lauder. That would be the veteran executive of twenty years standing at Estée Lauder, not to mention the granddaughter of the cosmetics titan's founder, who, until she debuted her namesake line, AERIN, last fall, was publicly best known as an Oscar de la Renta–wearing fixture of the society pages, the onetime face of Private Collection fragrance, and the owner of three oft-photographed residences: in the Hamptons and Aspen and on Manhattan's Park Avenue, where we meet today.
Lauder, in Dries Van Noten with an Ed Ruscha.
The statuesque ash blond, in Stella McCartney royal blue plissé organza, poses next to a monochrome abstract painting in the patented shade of ultramarine known as International Klein Blue. "Where all this started," says Lauder, gesturing around her living room, "was the press that I've done has been about my homes, and people were asking, 'Where did you get that light fixture?' or 'Where did you get the paint color?'" By this, the mogulette (who also holds the position of style and image director at Estée Lauder) means AERIN, which started with beauty essentials, such as all-in-one neutral palettes and elegant objets to put on a vanity—gilt hairbrushes, pyrite hearts, and the like.
For the record, the gold table lamp to Lauder's left is a prototype for the next planned AERIN brand extension (for fall), into lighting, furniture, and tabletop wares. Donald Kaufman mixed the custom off-white paint for the walls, which serve as a backdrop for art that, along with the Yves Klein, includes other major twentieth-century conceptual works: a Marcel Broodthaers assemblage of hundreds of mussel shells, one of Lucio Fontana's signature slashed canvases, and Ed Ruscha's word painting This is it.

|Official Title:
|Assessment and Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Dysfunction in Children With Mitochondrial Disorders (MD)
|Study Start Date:
|June 2010
|Study Completion Date:

|Primary Completion Date:
|March 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Children with mitochondrial disorders
suffering from gastrointestinal dysfunction
Procedure: gastric emptying scan
subjects will eat a solid meal (scrambled eggs, etc) or drink liquid (water or juice) mixed with approximately 0.5 millicuries of radioactive material. A scanner/external gamma camera will be placed over the subject's stomach at 15 minute intervals for a duration of 90 minutes (monitoring the amount of radioactivity in the stomach). As the radioactively-labeled food empties from the stomach, the amount of radioactivity in the stomach decreases. The rate at which the radioactivity leaves the stomach reflects the rate at which food is emptying from the stomach. The radioisotope has a half life of approximately. 6 hours and is totally eliminated from the body within 24 hours.
In subjects with gastroparesis, the food and the attached radioactive material remain in the stomach longer than normal (usually hours) before emptying into the small intestine. As a result, the scanner continues to show radioactivity in the area of the stomach for hours after the test meal.
