Full of surprises, children amaze us daily with their new discoveries and skills, learning as they experience the world around them. We now have the opportunity to embrace new tools to better tell the story of their growth and development. Let's look...
Four-year-old Sarah is sitting in the book corner, "reading" a book to her friend Ian. In the music area, Ana and Amanda have joyfully invented some new dance moves. Jeremy and Will are creating play dough sculptures that have taken on a new level of detail. Nadja is busy at the science table sketching the new growth of a bean plant. If our goal is to observe all that is going on here, this seems like observation overload. In the fast-paced world of young children, how can we possibly begin to keep up?
As an educator who is committed to providing the strongest learning experiences possible-as well as searching for new ways to grow professionally, you will find that strengthening observation and recording skills is key. Technology can help with these goals.
Do a Systems Check
Before you start to observe, you need to know what you are looking for A clear understanding of children's growth and development and an awareness of the goals for individual children and your program are a must. These create the framework for gathering information about children, measuring the learning taking place, and assessing the effectiveness of your program.
A periodic check of your observation and recording system is important. Ask children, parents, staff, and administrators about their learning goals for the year Then it's time to create your action plan.
Combine your own program goals with developmental guidelines based on accepted educational standards to create an assessment system. If you are looking for new ideas, use the Internet (or phone) to investigate some of the many different types of observation systems currently available. Whether you decide upon a prepared system or use the computer to create your own materials, it's important to come up with a process that can realistically be used on a regular basis in your classroom.
Once you have your system in place, it's time to gather samples of what the children can do.
Do a Tech Check
Look for ways to use technology to help make recording easier and more efficient during the busy times of the day. Then, when things quiet down, work with the samples you have collected. Whether you are using sophisticated computer equipment or more modest technology, a "tech check" can help you get started.
If you have a typewriter or a computer printer, you can ...
- Type up children's dictation, so their stories and ideas will be easy to read on wall displays. You can also save copies for their portfolios.
- Create a variety of forms to support the collection, storage, and reporting of observations. These can include a form to record notes about children's vocabulary development. Take advantage of the spellchecker and grammar checking features of some software programs.
Typed-up work is easy to read and copy for portfolio storage. Digital portfolios on the computer can store photos, audio, and video samples and can be viewed and evaluated with children. Laptop computers provide ease of use and can go wherever the action is. If you want to try something sophisticated, hand-held devices such as Palm Pilots are available that can store developmental checklists. You can record observations, and they can be easily downloaded to your computer later. No need to retype notes, as the data is there on the computer, ready to be used.
If you have a photocopier, you can ...
- Copy children's work, such as drawings or writing, and store copies in their portfolios.
- Adjust image size and arrange copies of similar work in sequence, creating a visual "time line" that clearly shows a child's skill development over time. You can also use your photocopy machine to make a copy of developmental milestone charts for each child. Use different colored highlighters to mark milestones reached during each quarter of the year. As you mark off what children have achieved, look ahead to the next set of goals and type up a list for each child. Consult these lists when you are doing your curriculum planning.
If you have a scanner, you can ...
- Create electronic portfolios on your computer and store children's drawings or writing.
- Share scanned images of children's work with families via e-mail and/or computer disc.
Scanning transforms images to a digital format. Digital images can be used in many ways. They can be stored in electronic portfolios or used with word processing or other programs to create newsletters, Web pages, or child-authored books.
If you have a tape recorder or computer microphone, you can ...
- Document important discussions. Transcribing and reviewing these conversations at a later date will provide insights regarding children's learning, thinking, and social skills. When using a tape recorded remember to zero the counter when you start the tape. Note the counter number as you begin recording, so you can easily find what you need later
- Take a language sample of children's storytelling as they use the flannel board with a familiar fairy tale or one they create. After several months, take another sample and compare.
- Ask children to dictate the "story" about their work as they create a piece of art.
- Include children's voices in multi-media presentations about their work.
Audio recording provides an opportunity to "listen" more closely to children's theories, problem-solving abilities, and ideas about their work (including the creation process and intent of their projects). When using computers, children can use text-to-speech software to hear their stories read back to them. When they compare early work with later work, they can "hear" how their stories have developed.
If you have a still camera or a digital camera, you can ...
- Record examples of three-dimensional work created in various learning centers, such as art and woodworking projects, block towers, and culinary creations. Viewing photos later can help children recall and comment on the thinking and problem solving involved with their work. * Create a slide show for family nights about children's development in the program. (Use presentation software for a computerized slide show.)
If you are using a digital camera, photos can be downloaded to the computer and printed out with a color printer Digital cameras do not use film, so there is no cost for film and developing. Images can be sent to parents via e-mail. Photos from a still camera can also be scanned into your computer.
If you have a video camera or a digital video camera, you can ...
- Share with children video footage of their play. As they revisit the experience, ask them about aspects of their play to gain a clearer understanding of what was taking place. * Videotape important moments in children's play or document special productions such as puppet shows. Include segments in their portfolios and/or create special videos for family night presentations. Videos can feature learning taking place in different developmental areas: How are children interacting with others? With whom are they playing? (social emotional) What skills are they exhibiting on the playground? (large muscle) How are they tackling a challenging scientific or math problem? (problem solving)
- Use video for staff training purposes. The same video segment can be viewed in a variety of ways, including looking at traits of individual children, recording how learning centers are used, selecting samples for documentation, and analyzing what these samples convey.
With video, you can capture action and emotion, immediately replay scenes in the viewfinder, and look very closely at events taking place in your program. Digital video gives you the capability of downloading footage to your computer and using software to easily edit the material.
Lights! Camera! Action!
So much of young children's learning is action packed and "hands-on." Consider the activities offered in your room and imagine what you could record with the creative use of a tape recorder or a video camera. An actual sample of children singing a song or performing a dramatization will allow children and parents to better experience the emotion and excitement of the moment.
The video camera can also be set up on a tripod to record transition times and document how change affects different children. This can provide important insights regarding individual children and the smooth functioning of the program. Children reviewing video clips of their play can more vividly recall the actions and emotions they experienced. Deeper insights into their thinking and problem solving can occur with skillful questioning as exact scenes are revisited using video.
Digital video cameras, similar to other technology continue to improve in quality while prices decrease. Many are lightweight and compact, and most will take still photos as well. User-friendly software programs exist, making movie editing extraordinarily easy. (See ECT, April 2001.)
Put Parents in the Process
Technology can help strengthen partnerships with parents. Use journals, e-mail, Web sites, or online electronic portfolio systems to communicate and collaborate, together monitoring children's growth and development.
Putting It All Together
Periodic review of all the observations you've collected is critical to ongoing assessment of students' progress. Look at all the samples, including children's written work, anecdotes, audio and video tapes, photos, developmental records, and curriculum plans to evaluate how their performance matches your program's goals. This will guide your daily decisions about the children and your curriculum. It's important that your storage system for documentation allows for easy access to samples throughout the year.
Laurie, a teacher of 5- and 6-year-olds, set up a simple spreadsheet on her laptop. As each child reads, she quickly adds his reading level. The spreadsheet allows her to manipulate all information entered. She can look at an individual's progress or pull out information about class trends. With a few mouse clicks, she can produce an appealing and informative graph. Children and parents are thrilled to see growth portrayed so dramatically in this way.
Celebrate Accomplishments!
Include "Portfolio Days" in your calendar so you can spend time with your children reviewing their work.
Laurie's 5- and 6-year-olds save their computer work on floppy disks. However, electronic products could just as easily be kept on the computer itself. This makes it easy to collect items for an electronic portfolio. Some teachers even burn a CD-ROM for each child, so at the end of the year, children leave with a vivid multimedia picture of what they have accomplished. Thanks to technology's flexibility, next year's teachers can readily access the same material, giving them a clear view of where each child is developmentally. One grandmother, living in another state, couldn't believe her good fortune to receive a CD copy of the child's yearlong portfolio.
Create slide shows, photo albums, wall panels, Web sites-there are many avenues for displaying samples of children's work and showcasing their growth. Meet with parents or family members at least two or three times a year to take a closer look. Use your documentation to share what you are seeing and to influence subsequent steps in planning your program. Children should be involved in collecting and evaluating their work, be it on paper or through electronic means.
Trying New Technology
To accurately assess your equipment needs and answer questions about selecting and using new technologies, it's important to consult with others who are experienced in using that technology. Parents of children in your group or other tech-savvy community members may be delighted to share their expertise. Online, the NAEYC Technology Caucus offers the website Technology and Young Children (www.techandyoungchildren.org ) and an Internet discussion group on this topic.
Technology can enrich the quality of your documentation material and support your educational efforts. So try something new, rediscover something you already have, and take a closer look at children's learning using technology today.

text: After going from being Utah's top receiver to getting no reps, Utah senior DeVonte Christopher is excited to have any chance to play Saturday against Arizona, even if it means on defense. "I just want to be out there," he said. "It's my last game here, it's crazy how time flies." Christopher, who has had just one catch in the last four games, could see time in the secondary as well as a receiver against the Wildcats. Christopher said the idea of playing both on offense and defense would be 'just like high school.' "Playing both ways, the good thing is if you get mad on a mistake on offense, you get a chance to make up for it on defense," he said. Christopher said Utah assistant coach Morgan Scalley said to just 'get the football.' "They throw the ball amazingly," he said of Arizona. Christopher believes the Utes can beat Arizona and Colorado to be bowl eligible. "It's weird to have to fight to get to bowl eligibility, it's a different experience," he said. "I'm definitely looking forward to this challenge." Christopher has been getting some reps with the starters on offense too and said he has tried to practice harder this week to earn time. "I'm basically being myself, coming out here, being happy with a positive attitude," he said. "Our backs are to the wall, it'smy senior year and all that type of stuff and I've got to come out here and practice hard. My downfall has been my practice habits and I'm trying my best to correct them." Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said Christopher had a good week of practice but remained vague as to how much time Christopher could get Saturday. "We've had some young guys really step up and emerge as guys we can count on as well," he said. - Lya Wodraska

Cancer of the ureter begins in the cells that line the inside of the tubes (ureters) that connect your kidneys to your bladder. Ureters are part of the urinary tract, and they carry urine produced by the kidneys to the bladder.
Cancer of the ureter is uncommon. It occurs most often in older adults and in people who have previously been treated for bladder cancer.
Treatment for cancer of the ureter most often involves surgery. In certain cases, chemotherapy may be recommended.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., and Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., are ranked among the Best Hospitals for cancer by U.S. News & World Report.
Tests and procedures used to diagnose cancer of the ureter include:
Use of a thin, lighted tube to view the ureters. During a procedure called ureteroscopy, your doctor will insert a thin, lighted tube equipped with a camera (ureteroscope) into your urethra. The scope is passed through your bladder and into your ureters.
Ureteroscopy allows your doctor to visually inspect your ureters and, if necessary, remove a small sample of tissue for laboratory testing (biopsy).
In the laboratory, a doctor who specializes in analyzing blood and body tissue (pathologist) will carefully examine your cells for signs of cancer. This may include sophisticated analysis of the gene mutations involved in your cancer.
Ureteral cancer treatment typically involves surgery. Your treatment options for cancer of the ureter will vary depending on the size and location of your cancer, how aggressive the cells are, and your own goals and preferences.
Surgery is often recommended to remove cancer of the ureter. The extent of your surgery will depend on your situation.
For very early-stage ureteral cancer, surgery may involve removing only a portion of the ureter. For more advanced ureteral cancer, it may be necessary to remove the affected ureter and its associated kidney (nephroureterectomy). Sometimes a portion of the bladder also is removed.
At Mayo Clinic, surgeons are highly skilled in the latest minimally invasive surgery techniques. Whenever possible, surgeons prefer to use minimally invasive surgery to remove cancer of the ureter.
Minimally invasive surgery methods include:
Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses chemicals to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy is sometimes used before surgery to shrink a tumor and make it easier to remove during surgery. Chemotherapy may be used after surgery to kill any cancer cells that may remain.
In cases of advanced cancer of the ureter, chemotherapy may be used to control signs and symptoms of the cancer.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.
Experts in urology, oncology and other specialties form a multidisciplinary team to provide whole-person care for people with cancer of the ureter.
For appointments or more information, call the Central Appointment Office at 800-446-2279 (toll-free) 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, Monday through Friday or complete an online appointment request form.
For appointments or more information, call the Central Appointment Office at 904-953-0853 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday or complete an online appointment request form.

See information on patient services at the three Mayo Clinic locations, including transportation options and lodging.
Mayo Clinic doctors and scientists are studying new ways to diagnose and treat cancer of the ureter.
Cancer research is conducted in coordination with the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center. The Mayo Clinic Cancer Center receives funding from the National Cancer Institute and is designated as a comprehensive cancer center — recognition for an institution's scientific excellence and multidisciplinary resources focused on cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
See a list of publications by Mayo Clinic authors on cancer of the ureter on PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine.

My bag has changed quite a bit, so I decided to start a new thread. I've changed my putter, dropped few molds and made my bag more simple for the sake of minimalism and consistency. A few discs need a bit more seasoning, but otherwise this setup feels good and I feel I have all shots covered.
KC Aviar 175 - Main Putter
KC Aviar 175 - Backup Putter
KC Aviar 173 - New, upshots, short drives
DX Aviar 172 - Beat, turnover upshots, longer jump putts
DX Roc 176 - Beat, turnovers
DX Roc 180 - Seasoned, quite straight, needs little bit more beating
KC Roc 180 - Seasoned, fades little bit more than DX Roc
KC Roc 180 - New, for wind and when I need more fade
DX Teebird 168 - Beat, turnovers, hyzerflips
DX Teebird 169 - New, quite straight, needs little bit more seasoning
Champion Teebird 173 - Seasoned, fades more than DX Teebird
Champion Teebird 175 - New, for wind and when I need more fade
Solf 1.3 169 - Seasoned, distance driver, needs little bit more seasoning
Solf 1.2 170 - New, more overstable than 1.3 Solf
Z Predator 173 - Seasoned, for tough headwinds, tomahawks, trick shots
Z Predator 175 - New, more overstable than the other one
So that's it. The only thing I'm not so sure about is my Teebird. I've learned how it flies, and I'm not really sure if I want to change it, but there are a few things why I'd like to change it to another mold. First, it's straight. Yeah, that's great shot to have in my shot selection, but I'd like to have more versatile disc as my fairway driver. Teebird doesn't do s-curves and flex shots really well, so a little bit more versatile mold would be great.
Second, Teebird is so damn long, it's almost as long as my Solfs, so I feel it overlaps with them. So not so long disc, maybe little bit slower than Teebird, would maybe be better for this slot. Slower disc would also be little bit better for control driver slot, because it wouldn't need so much juice behind it to make it fly correctly.
I can almost hear you screaming for Eagle X... But it really isn't slower than Teebird, so I don't know... Are there any Eagle kind-of but slower discs out there?

Eye on Burnaby: The year in photos
Cellphones able to take photos with more resolution than the first generation of expensive digital SLR cameras have helped make everyone a photographer.
Gone are the days of lugging around a canvas bag filled with lenses and filters. Extinct is the mysterious world of the darkroom, where chemicals and creativity could be mixed to create magic.
No sooner is the image saved into the camera's memory when it can be shared through websites like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, SmugMug, Picasa.
Photography hasn't just become an expression of the way we see the world, it's become a way to interact with the world.
See an item on a shopping expedition but not sure if it's the right colour? Snap a photo with the cellphone, text it back home and wait for the reply. And who hasn't had the annoying experience of being surrounded by smartphone snappers at a concert or special event, more preoccupied with reliving the occasion back home on their computer than just enjoying the moment in the moment?
But have all these technological advancements that have made photography so ubiquitous actually made it better? Or has it become the 21st century expression of the proverbial infinite monkey theorem, that if a monkey is locked in a room with a typewriter long enough, it will eventually type Shakespeare? Is the monkey now holding a digital camera or cellphone?
A lot of the images that fly past us every day are just noise. They're a reminder, a fleeting thought, an exclamation. They're glimpsed, digested then discarded, time to move on to the next one.
Great photos rise above the noise. They make us stop. They make us see the everyday in a new way. They make us think.
Sometimes they're a call to action. Sometimes they're just a moment of appreciation.
Think of the significant news events of the past year and it's likely a still image will flash through your mind: parents hugging their children at the Newtown shootings; Usain Bolt in full stride at the London Olympics; a luxury cruise ship tipped on its side off the Italian coast.
And for all the images posted on all the websites, a photo printed on actual paper still has currency, still conveys a sense of permanence and worth.Nobody boasts to their friends or family they got their picture on a website, but a photo in the newspaper gets on the refrigerator or pasted into the scrapbook.
Of course nobody is under the illusion that the photography within this special issue of the NewsLeader is great.
In fact, some of it is pretty routine. Or at least seemed that way when I first submitted them to accompany stories or stand on their own as coverage of the day-to-day happenings of Burnaby and New Westminster.
But on scrolling through the thousands of files stored on the hard drive they all jumped out as solid achievements of what every photojournalist sets out to do every day when they load their gear into the trunk of the car and hit the road; they tell stories. And collected together, they tell a pretty good story of the year that was.

Pulling the disc into your body like that should exaggerate the collapse of the wrist and allow you to get a better feel of what you should be looking for when you go to a more straight-line reach back.
I think I was actually doing this on the course yesterday on my no-step and one-step throws, it has the added advantage of allowing you to be more forward facing while you're throwing. I don't know if it's fundamentally sound compared to a more straight-line pull.

I seem to throw hyzers almost always when i pull from out to in. And hyzers aren't my go to shots. But are you in the Copenhagen Open?
emiller3 wrote:That's high altitude golf for ya. That particular course is at 7200'. Everything hyzers out.
I throw a lot of hyzer flips at this course because of how straight and narrow the fairways are, and because when I don't get them flipped, it generally leaves me in a better spot than if I turned it too much. But there were a couple holes where I just got the thing nose up or didn't get any snap on it, like 10 (the high anhyzer), 14 (tunnel fairway along the path), and 19 (ugliest shot I've ever made there.)
I've also noticed that I lack snap on cold days. That was the coldest morning we've had in months. Does anyone else have that problem? I'm not sure if it has to do with grip or atmospheric pressure or what.

Cardinals sign reliever David Aardsma
JUPITER, Fla., March 26, 2014 - The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they have signed free-agent right-handed reliever David Aardsma to a minor league contract and he will join the Cardinals Major League Spring Training camp today. Aardsma, 32, was released from his non-roster invite by the Cleveland Indians late last week after going 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA in six Cactus League appearances, fanning five, while walking none, in his 6.0 innings pitched.
Aardsma has posted a career mark of 15-17 with a 4.23 ERA in 298 career games while converting 69 saves. He rescued 38 games (4th in A.L.) for the Seattle Mariners in 2009 and followed that up with 31 saves for the M's in 2010.
The 6-3, 205-pound Aardsma was the San Francisco Giants 1st round draft pick (22nd player overall) in 2003 out of Rice University after leading the Owls to their first National Championship. His big league career has included stops with San Francisco (2004), Chicago Cubs (2006), Chicago White Sox (2007), Boston (2008), Seattle (2009-10), New York Yankees (2012), and the New York Mets (2013). Aardsma was 2-2 with a 4.31 ERA in 43 games for the Mets last season, fanning 36 batters in 39.2 innings pitched.
Aardsma, who missed the 2011 season while recovering from "Tommy John" elbow surgery, owns a career 9.0 strikeouts/9 innings pitched ratio (305 strikeouts/306.1 innings pitched). The Colorado native is the first player listed alphabetically amongst all players in Major League history.
Aardsma has been assigned uniform no. 53.

Why Choose a Hair Analysis Test?
Analysis of hair tissue is a non-invasive method (unlike the chelation challenge test) for determining which toxic heavy metals are present in the body. In addition, it can also measure the levels of essential minerals in the body, such as calcium, magnesium and zinc, as well as important mineral ratios.
Too little or too much of any of these essential minerals can have an adverse affect on the human body and it's ability to recover.
Hair analysis testing is worth doing because a surprising number of people diagnosed with incurable chronic health conditions actually turn out to have a heavy metal problem. Heavy metal problems can be corrected using a safe detoxification program.
Hair testing allows the underlying problem to be identified and the chronic health condition often disappears with proper detoxification. For more information on the benefits of hair analysis testing, click here.
Introducing the Comprehensive Hair Analysis Test (Profile 2) by Trace Elements, Inc.
We offer a Comprehensive Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test (previously available only through doctors) for only $123, which includes a 10-15 page bound report and electronic email copy as well (subtract $3 if you opt for printed copy only). This is the most affordable, detailed and accurate hair analysis available. The standard cost for this type of detailed analysis can be $200 and up.
The multi-element assay of hair (36 elements) is performed by a federally licensed clinical laboratory called Trace Elements, Inc., who have been in business since 1984. (Please note that Trace Elements is a separate company from us, Evenbetternow, LLC). They do not sell the hair analysis test to the public directly.
The hair sample is prepared through a series of chemical and high temperature digestive procedures. Testing is then performed using highly sophisticated detection equipment and methods to achieve the most accurate and precise results.
Your 10-15 page comprehensive report from the laboratory will include the following:
Unlike some labs that test for hair minerals, Trace Elements, Inc. does not wash the hair at the lab. Washing the hair removes some of the loosely bound minerals and can reduce some mineral readings by 50% or more. Their comprehensive analysis report details graph results for 8 toxic metals, 15 nutritional minerals, 15 additional elements, 7 significant mineral ratios, and 9 toxic metal ratios.
Please Note: Evenbetternow® does not do clinical interpretations of results. The Trace Elements lab outlines in detail (in the report you receive) an explanation of the results as it pertains to your metabolic type. There's no need to pay extra for an interpretation of your results, especially if you are just tracking on your own the levels of heavy metals and essential minerals in your body. This is why we are able to offer this comprehensive test at such an affordable price.
However, if you do need further interpretation of your results, and want to work with a qualified physician, we have two medical advisers which we can refer you to. One is Rick Malter, Ph.D who authored the excellent book "The Strands of Health", which is a complete guide to understanding hair tissue mineral analysis. He worked with Dr. Watts, the founder of Trace Elements, Inc. over 30 years ago. The cost for his further evaluation of your hair analysis is $95.
The other medical advisor is a licensed naturapathic physician who studied under Dr. Malter and is a renowned expert in interpreting the Trace Elements tissue analysis reports. His client base is worldwide, and includes patients in 44 countries.The cost for his services is $347 for people who have already had their HTMA done through us. The price for this service includes the initial consultation, treatment plan, comprehensive written report explaining analysis results, one (1) hour Skype consultation to go over the analysis report and treatment plan, and 3 months of follow-up email support. The cost without the 1 hour Skype consultation is $247.
We also have a licensed acupuncturist and classical Chinese Medicine practitioner that we can refer you to who charges $75/hr for a consultation and interpretation of the Trace Elements analysis when purchased through us. This person can also do canine and equine hair analysis interpretations.
Once you have purchased and received the results of the hair analysis through us, and wish to utilize any of the above medical advisors, we will give you their contact information. If you choose not to use any of the above, we suggest you take your report (along with your doctor's copy) to your naturopathic doctor or other healthcare practitioner for further guidance.
We recommend this hair tissue analysis as the most thorough and comprehensive way of charting your detoxification process and getting a detailed blueprint of your nutritional metabolic activity.
Customer Feedback:
"I ordered a hair tissue analysis online, and paid the extra $3 to receive an email of the results (well worth it). This has been the best $100 I have spent in reference to finding out more about my health. I learned more from this analysis than I have from years of blood and urine tests and doctor visits. Tissue analysis is far more accurate than blood and urine.
I would highly recommend this test to anyone. I'm definitely posting a recommendation on my Facebook page, and plan to make verbal and email recommendations to family and friends. Thank you so very much for giving me a clear picture. The truth is in the tissues."

8 Toxic Heavy Metal Elements: Antimony, uranium, arsenic, beryllium, mercury, cadmium, lead and aluminum. These heavy metals are well-known for their interference upon normal biochemical function and causing numerous imbalances in the body.
15 Essential Minerals: Calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc, phosphorus, iron, manganese, chromium, selenium, boron, cobalt, molybdenum, and sulfur. These nutrients play significant roles in such metabolic processes such as muscular activity, endocrine function, reproduction, skeletal integrity, and overall development.
Also includes 15 Additional Elements including: Germanium, barium, bismuth, rubidium, lithium, nickel, platinum, thallium, vanadium, strontium, tin, titanium, tungsten and zirconium. All mineral/metal levels are reported in milligrams percent (milligrams per one-hundred grams of hair). One milligram percent (mg%) is equal to ten parts per million (ppm).
6 Significant Mineral Ratios: Ca/P, Na/K, Ca/K, Zn/Cu, Na/Mg, Ca/Mg, Fe/Cu. If the relationship between certain minerals in the body is disturbed, normal biological functions and metabolic activity can be adversely affected.
9 Toxic Mineral/Metal Ratios: Ca/Pb, Fe/Pb, Fe/Hg, Se/Hg, Zn/Cd, An/Hg, S/Hg, S/Cd, S/Pb. Individuals with elevated toxic levels may not always exhibit clinical symptoms associated with those particular toxic minerals. However, research has shown that toxic minerals/metals can also produce an antagonistic effect on various essential minerals, leading to disturbances in their metabolic utilization.
Also included are 11 Additional Ratios: Ca/Sr, Cr/V, Cu/Mo, Fe/Co, K/Co, K/Li, Mg/B, S/Cu, Se/Tl, Se/Sn, Zn/Sn.
A calculated comparison of two elements to each other is called a ratio. To calculate a ratio value, the first mineral level is divided by the second mineral level.
Reference Ranges: Generally speaking, the reference ranges in the report should be considered as guidelines for comparison with the reported test values. These reference ranges have been statistically established from studying an international population of "healthy individuals". The reference ranges should not be considered as absolute limits for determining deficiency, toxicity or acceptance.

FAQ's: For Frequently Asked Questions about the Comprehensive Hair Tissue Analysis, please click here.
Note Regarding Treated Hair:
If you chemically treat your hair with perms or hair dyes, wait 6 weeks after the last treatment before taking a hair sample. (If you do submit a hair sample that has been treated, please indicate that on the submittal form and know that the results will show an artificially higher amount of lead and aluminum.)
Alternatively, pubic hair may be used, but the results are not as current, since pubic hair grows slower than hair on the head. Also the best sample is taken up to the first 1.5 inches from the roots. If you take the hair sample from more than the first 1.5 inches from the scalp, it will not be accurate.

UPDATE: Perez was found guilty of misdemeanor assault.
Back in October, John Wright posted this item here on Instant Tea about Texas State Trooper Arturo Perez who faced criminal charges after video taken during a traffic stop for suspected drunk driving surfaced of him slamming 23-year-old Whitney Fox face first into a concrete retaining wall on the Dallas North Tollway after finding out that Fox and her friends in the car with her were on their way home from a gay bar in Oak Lawn.
The Dallas Morning News has reported that jurors hearing the misdemeanor assault case against Perez in Judge Jane Roden's court are deadlocked and unable to return a verdict. The jurors had been deliberating for about five hours total when, at noon Friday, they send the judge a note saying they were at an impasse.
DMN reports that Judge Roden was expected to tell the jurors to keep deliberating.
The incident in questioned happened in October 2009 after Perez stopped Fox on suspicion of drunk driving. He had cuffed the young woman's wrists behind her and was patting her down when she began arguing with him about the way he was touching her. Perez told Fox several times as she argued with him that she was "fixing to get yourself hurt."
Then Perez began leading Fox to his squad car, holding her left arm. When she tried to jerk away from him, Perez jerked Fox's arm in return, swinging her around and into the concrete.
Fox — who in the video is visibly stunned by the impact — was left with a large gash in her chin. As she collapsed to the ground, Perez walked away, leaving a second trooper to attend to Fox.
John's post in October examined allegations Fox's attorney, Randy Isenberg, made to Fox 4 News in Dallas that Perez began handling Fox more roughly and slammed her into the wall after another young woman in Fox's car said something about having left a gay bar in Oak Lawn. The implication, of course, was that Perez is homophobic and deliberately hurt Fox because he thought she is gay.
The incident was captured on video, posted below, by the dashcam in Perez's squad car.
The Dallas County District Attorney initially charged Perez with official oppression in the case, but a grand jury refused to issue an indictment on the charge. The DA's office then charged Perez with misdemeanor assault. Perez's attorney, John Haring, told Fox 4 News this past October that the Texas Ranger had reviewed the video and concluded that Fox was resisting arrest and Perez was not at fault.
Perez retired shortly after the incident occurred, just before the Department of Public Safety could fire him. The DWI charges against Fox were dropped.

Lalitavistara is an important mahayana sutra, it must have originally been somewhat longer. Having read through it several times I get the impression that a larger part of it is missing. If we take for example the phase of His life that is called Enjoying the Kingdom, which lasted something like 13 years, if we accept that he left home at the age of 28, and assuming that he got married at the age of 15, ( can't remember the source for this). Lalitavistara sutra doesn't mention His age at the time of marriage, but in India they generally get married early. In the Lalitavistara He is married to Gopa however, no mention at all of a Yashodhara!
Tarthang Tulku & Gwendolyn Bay's Lalitavistara or Voice of Buddha never says that He actually had other wives or concubines, but it still speaks of women, in plural, in His palaces, never going into details about their function and role.
There is another tradition preserved in China and Japan, in which Shakyamuni leaves home at the age of 19.
Present day Lalitavistara is missing a vital part, that is a description of His romantic adventures, the period from the age of 15 to the age of 28 (or 19 alternatively). The theme of His love life is included in the name Lalitavistara Sutra, it could be translated as Playful Romantic Adventures Sutra.
Tarthang Tulku & Gwendolyn Bays have given it the name Voice of Buddha, Beauty of Compassion, which is stressing that it is an autobiography of Buddha Shakyamuni where He tells His life story in an ornamented fashion.
Wives of Siddhartha Gautama I
Discuss and learn about the traditional Mahayana scriptures, without assuming that any one school 'owns' the only correct interpretation.

Rockies' young outfielders turning heads early
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The power potential of Rockies outfield prospects was on display Sunday, for the second time in as many Spring Training games.
Sunday's 8-6 loss to the D-backs featured a laser-like home run from left-handed hitting Corey Dickerson, who hit a combined .304 with 40 doubles, seven triples and 22 homers at Class A Modesto and Double-A Tulsa last season. He then posted a .364 average in the Arizona Fall League, good for eighth-best in the AFL. Also, Kyle Parker, the team's top Draft pick in 2010, added a two-run single.
Add that to the home runs hit by Tim Wheeler and Kent Matthes in Saturday's opener, and it has been a strong early showing for Rockies outfield hopefuls.
Dickerson (eighth round in 2010), Wheeler (supplemental first round, 2009) and Matthes (fourth round, 2009) all have legitimate reason to dream of appearing in the Majors before the end of this season -- although there is depth at the positions already. Parker put up strong numbers in Class A ball last year.
"They did a nice job," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "Dickerson, that was a laser. I didn't think that ball was going to get out of the park. But he's hit his whole life, one of those guys that can flat-out hit. Matthes and Wheeler had the home runs yesterday. Those guys have shown up well."
Wheeler suffered an injury to the hamate bone of his right hand last year at Triple-A Colorado Springs, and spent the year hitting for average (.303) rather than run production (two home runs, 37 RBIs), but is in better position to show his power this year. Wheeler also is making a case for his defensive versatility.
He has been playing center field, but talk has been that he would project defensively in a corner position. But Saturday he sprinted deep into the left-center gap to snag a deep Adam Eaton line drive. Sunday, a liner by Martin Prado turned him around, but he kept his movements controlled and caught the ball low.
"This is the first I've ever seen him," Weiss said. "It's tough to say right now, but the reports on him are that yes, he can play center field. That doesn't mean he may not end up as a corner guy, but it looks to me like he runs around pretty well out there."

I am glad I waited until after the Duke game to write this column. I'm not sure I would have known what to say about the Miami game! Even though we lost at Duke, that was much more of the Carolina team we've all been used to seeing for years.
Wasn't it interesting to watch two hall of fame coaches matching wits, going against each other with strategies and counter strategies? I wasn't surprised when Coach Williams started P.J. because it's a good match up against Duke. Give Coach credit for realizing that and putting his best players on the floor to start the game.
It worked against Duke because of the match-up with their big forward, but it won't work against every team. In fact, we might not have done it if Ryan Kelly was still playing for them.
Most times in the NBA, when one team goes small, the other goes small, that's what happened throughout the game and especially when Coach K took out Plumlee with three fouls in the second half. The game turned when they made a couple of shots, like Thornton's 3's, that really gave them confidence. When Duke is making those threes, they're awfully tough to guard.
On the other hand, we missed some shots and we could have won the game. Missing shots, you can correct that. You never want to be happy with the loss, because a loss is a loss, but when it's the bounce of the ball, or you missed some and they made some, that's going to happen. The losses where you leave something on the floor when it's over, that's where you have to be concerned as a coach and a player . We did not leave anything on the court at Duke.
Both teams really battled, and both didn't play as well as they could. But it was like a heavyweight championship match, the intensity was there from opening tip. As Carolina fan, you wanted more, but basketball purists watching across the country had to love that game.
I had hoped we'd be ready to play after what happened at Miami but, even as a coach, I could never tell whether a team was ready during warm-ups They could be looking like they weren't concentrating and then set world on fire. Or the other way around.
Coach Smith used to say you can scout teams all you want but you don't know until first four of five minutes of the game what both teams are going to do. That's really your scouting report, like our small line-up probably surprised them a little.
We got much better shots in the first half because we were able to get into the seams of their defense and make it react or draw support from other defenders. Too many bad things can happen when you allow penetration. We got better looks, offensive rebounds and got them into foul trouble. I think Duke knew at the half that they had to stop our penetration.
There are two ways to do that. You can take the pressure off just to keep your man in front of you, which is what Duke did, or you can be so tight on your man the catch. They gave up some open jump shots, but we couldn't get them to go down. And they got a couple of key offensive rebounds that they turned into baskets.
Going down the stretch, sometimes ill-advised shots are going to come from inexperienced players who want to make something happen. That gets better with experience and the only way you get through that is to go through it. And some of our younger guys are going through it now.
The Virginia game Saturday will be interesting. On one hand, I wouldn't be surprised if P.J. started again at the 4 because they are small and it's a good match-up in that regard. But Virginia has a different style than Duke, they walk the ball up and try to get into a physical game with you. So, for that reason, Coach might go back with the size.
It's a big game for sure, and our guys need to come ready to play again.

Mumbai, Feb 7 (IANS) At least three labourers were killed and six injured when a slab from an under construction bridge adjacent to the airport fell while being hoisted by a crane, officials said here Thursday.
The incident occurred around 11.45 p.m. Wednesday when a 30-metre slab from the Sahar Elevated Access Road near Mumbai Airport crashed to the ground, city disaster control officials said. The crane hoisting it also collapsed, trapping the workers underneath.
The injured have been admitted to the nearby Holy Spirit and Seven Hills hospitals for treatment.
Part of the two-kilometre Sahar Elevated Access Road, the bridge is coming up adjacent to the T2 Terminal at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport and will be a vital link connecting the congested Western Express Highway direct to the airport.
This is the third incident of its kind hitting a major urban infrastructure project in the past six months, raising safety concerns.
The incident came just four days after Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan declared the project (Sahar Elevated Access Road) among the mega-infrastructure projects that will change the face of Mumbai this year.

When Egyptian superstar Amr Diab [2], decided to set up a web-chat with fans on his Facebook page [3], he thought questions would be about his new album release or music video. But one fan put Amr in the awkward position of responding to rumors that he was set to duet with Lebanese lovely Elissa.
According to MBC.net, Amr said there were no such plans for a collaboration: "The news is not true, at least not on my part," he wrote. The remark kept fans wondering what he meant by 'not on my part': sounded a lot like Elissa had been asking for the duet but Amr wasn't keen.
Meanwhile Amr has also been fighting off rumors that he's planning to flee his home country, Egypt, for Dubai. The best-selling Arab recording artist of all time said he wouldn't leave Egypt for the world.

The casserole is definitely is a delicious combination of flavors, but my food preferences have changed since then, and now I wouldn't normally make a casserole that uses bottled Alfredo sauce. But the recipe has quite a few fans, and the original photo was pretty horrible, so recently I re-did this recipe with new photos, making a smaller version of the recipe that's a bit lighter than the one my brother-in-law came up with.
If bottled Alfredo sauce is a deal-breaker for you, I think it would be fun to try this with Creamy Cauliflower Sauce, something that's been on my to-try list for ages now, and using the Creamy Cauliflower Sauce would also make this gluten-free. If anyone tries that option, I'd love to hear how it works!

Thanksgiving week begins with cooler, seasonal weather, the National Weather Service says, with a mostly sunny forecast for the day itself.
By Friday, however, we could be paying a return visit to inland highs in the 80s.
The first part of the week will be dominated by low-pressure air from the north, keeping highs in the 60s and 70s.
High pressure makes its brief comeback Friday and Saturday; then temperatures should settle down again Sunday as low-pressure returns.
Monday should be partly cloudy with highs of 66 to 71.
Tuesday is mostly sunny and slightly warmer, 70 to 75 inland and 66 to 71 on the coast.
Wednesday starts with partly cloudy skies before turning mostly sunny. High should be 66 to 71 inland, 66 on the coast.
Thanksgiving Day likely starts off with low clouds and fog before turning mostly sunny. Inland highs should be 69 to 74, 67 on the coast.
Friday also is mostly sunny, and the highs could rise into the 77-to-82 range inland, 69 to 74 on the coast.
The forecast is about the same for Saturday, perhaps a degree warmer inland.
Sunday we're back to partly cloudy skies and highs of 72 to 77 inland, 68 on the coast.

The Nanoscale Engineering master is a two-year program corresponding to 120 ECTS credits. Students receive a universal and profound training in physics, materials science and electronics at the nanoscale, but also in nanobiotechnology.
Elective courses can be followed by the students in their desired area of specialization and/or to broaden their horizons. The entire curriculum is taught in English.
A key educational concept of the program is that each student is immersed in a high-quality research environment for at least half of the time in the curriculum. Throughout the academic year, lab practicals and projects are carried out in research institutions that participate in the program, and thesis projects are undertaken in research laboratories or in nanotechnology companies.
In addition to the scientific and technological aspects, ethical issues and the societal impact of nanotechnology, as well as business considerations, are addressed in specialized seminars and courses.
Structure of the Curriculum
First Year (60 ECTS)
The major part of semester 1 is dedicated to lectures: The students follow 7 courses from the core modules and 2 elective modules. Laboratory practicals and mini-projects ensure a smooth transition into semester 2 with its four-month internship in a research group. This internship is prepared in semester 1 already with a dedicated literature survey. Seminars of speakers from both academia and industry complement the educational program throughout the entire first year.
Second Year (60 ECTS)
Semester 3 is again dedicated to lectures, featuring 5 slots for core modules and 3 for electives, as well as some ancillary courses. The entirety of semester 4 is taken up by the six-month Master thesis project, which can be conducted in a research laboratory or in a company, in France or abroad. As in the first year, seminars of speakers from both academia and industry complement the educational program.
Modules and Courses
Core Modules
These courses impart the fundamental knowledge in the nanotechnology field applied to physics, electronics, optics, materials science and biotechnology. Students are required to follow at least twelve core module courses during the two-year program.
Core modules in the first year There are four obligatory core modules in the first year:
Introduction to Nanoscale Engineering
Micro- and Nanofabrication, part 1
Characterization Tools for Nanostructures
Quantum Engineering
Furthermore, there is a remedial physics course to which students are assigned based on the results of a physics test at the beginning of semester 1:
Basics of Physics
Finally, students have to select a minimum of three courses from the following list for their first year:
Solid State Physics at the Nanoscale
Continuum Mechanics
Physics of Semiconductors, part 1
Physical Chemistry and Molecular Interactions
Biomolecules, Cells, and Biomimetic Systems
Core modules in the second year Students have to choose at least four courses from the following selection for their second year:
Nano-Optics and Biophotonics
Surface-Analysis Techniques
Physics of Semiconductors, part 2
Micro- and Nanofluidics
Micro- and Nanofabrication, part 2
Biosensors and Biochips
Computer Modeling of Nanoscale Systems
Elective Modules
These courses cover a wide range of nanotechnology-related disciplines and thus allow the students to specialize according to their preferences as well as to broaden their expertise. Elective modules in the first year Three courses from the following list have to be chosen for the first year:
MEMS and NEMS
Introduction to System Design
Drug-Delivery Systems
Elective modules in the second year Students follow a minimum of three courses from the following selection in the second year:
Multi-Domain System Integration
Solar Cells and Photovoltaics
Nanomagnetism and Spintronics
Tissue and Cell Engineering
Experimental Modules
Students conduct lab practicals that are integrated into the various courses, during which they familiarize themselves hands-on with all standard techniques for fabrication and characterization of nanostructures. They furthermore have the opportunity to work more independently on individual or group projects.
Ancillary Courses and Seminars
This module deals with complementary know-how, relevant both for academia and in an industrial environment. Students follow a course on intellectual-property issues. Ethical aspects and the societal impact of nanotechnology are covered in specialized seminars, which also allow for networking with national and international nanotechnology companies and research laboratories. Communication skills are likewise developed through written and oral presentations of all experimental work that is carried out during the Master program.
In the second semester, students conduct two-month internships in two of the research laboratories participating in the program. The students choose their projects and come into contact with their host laboratories earlier in the academic year already, by spending some time in these laboratories to carry out an extensive literature survey and to prepare their research projects under the guidance of their supervisors.
Master Thesis Project
The final six-month period of the program is devoted to the master project, which can be carried out either in an academic research laboratory or in an industrial environment. Students have the option to conduct their thesis project anywhere in France or abroad.

The Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering is a new graduate program of the Université de Lyon, operated by the École Centrale de Lyon.

The Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering is a new graduate program of the Université de Lyon, operated by the École Centrale de Lyon. It offers a two-year program in Master 1 (M1) and Master 2 (M2). It will be set up progressively starting from September 2016, with only one M2 option "Aerospace Propulsion (PAS)" opened. Then from September 2017, a second M2 option "Dynamic and Sustainability of Composite Materials (DDC)" and the M1 common-core syllabus will be opened.
The concerned disciplinary fields are fluid mechanics and energy, solid and structural mechanics, materials, and control engineering, in relation with three renowned research laboratories of Lyon: LMFA, LTDS and Ampère.
The Master is in line with the strategic axis "Science and engineering for a sustainable society" defined by the Université de Lyon, as well as with two social challenges identified by the École Centrale de Lyon, "Aeronautics and space" and "Increasing the competitiveness of the industrial economy through innovation and entrepreneurship".
The purpose is to train future technical leaders and researchers for all aspects of the aerospace industry from major constructors like SAFRAN and Airbus, to component suppliers. A special attention is paid to make students aware of codes, languages and common practice in the industry. Furthermore, this industry is intrinsically transnational, with numerous opportunities to work abroad with connections to France or to work in France with connections to other countries. So the students are given the opportunity to develop international/intercultural skills.
It is to notice that the aerospace industry is subjected to long-term cycles. A "design" dominated stage with ambitious projects (A380, A350, A400M, EC 175, LEAP, …) is ending, while a "production" dominated stage is starting for the next decade. The problematic is thus moving from the design of large complex systems to the continuous optimisation of components, taking into account manufacturing and maintainability constraints, in particular with the increasing implementation of composite materials. The provided training is supporting such a change.
More specifically, the M2 option "Aerospace Propulsion" is focusing on the design process of an aircraft or a rocket engine, providing a practical understanding of all aspects of the industry, from design to manufacture and maintenance. Graduates should drive components redesign, for optimisation for new purposes or for adaptation to new production processes or maintenance procedures.

The MSc in Acoustics is a 4 semester program (two years) from Semester 7 (S7) to Semester 10 (S10) according to the European semestrial organisation. The first year of the Master (M1) is covered by S7 and S8, whereas the second year of the program (M2) by S9 and S10.
The first semester (S7) provides the scientific background required for this Master, including some fundamentals of Mechanics, Continuum Physics and data processing as well as an introductory course to Acoustics. The second semester (S8) is devoted to acoustics and its context with practical application in an Acoustic Laboratory. During the third semester (S9), more advanced and specialised courses in acoustics are offered in parallel to application oriented lectures. Students can chose to specialised in their field of interest. The last semester (S10) is devoted to the MSc project, which can be carried out in a research laboratory as well as in the industry.
In parallel to the scientific program, English courses and/or a French courses are also offered: the objective is to provide the language basics that are required to attend the scientific courses, read and write scientific articles or reports and work in an international research team.
The objective of the MSc program is to provide the theoretical knowledge and the practical skills that are required to take up a variety of challenges in acoustics. In particular, a project (case study) and two internships are planned; thus the program offers room for applying theoretical concepts to practical situations.
There are 27 Credits (ECTS) for optional courses in which students may deepen their knowledge in aeroacoustics, building acoustics, vehicle acoustics, sound perception, ultrasounds, vibro-acoustics or fluid-structure interactions.
General skills developed during the MSc program are:
- scientific communication in French and/or in English, which is trained during devoted language courses, scientific courses in English and oral defences of the project and internships.
- corporate life awareness via courses and seminars about project management, research policies, intellectual property etc. as well as during the internships.
Time effort
The overall number of hours per student is 500h during the first (M1) and 240h during the second year (M2), that is, 740 hours spread over the 3 first semesters.
Additionally, 4 to 12 weeks during S8 (M1) and 20-25 weeks during S10 (M2), that is, a minimum of 24 weeks of internship.

A Dodge Viper spinning at 75 mph, Angelina Jolie clutching to it as she fires large-caliber weapons, the supercar literally driving off the side of an out-of-control bus—is this the stuff of Steve McQueen territory?More
Angelina Jolie and Wanted are about to hit the multiplex in top gear, with all the frenetic, adrenaline-soaked celluloid that it takes to make a gearhead action movie these days. It's an Office Space-meets-The Matrix-slams-into-The Evil Dead tale, with nihilistic instant messaging embedded in linens. And all that breaking the laws of physics stuff aside, there's one scene amidst the layers of blood and gibberish that could well be the first classic movie car chase of the 21st century. A Dodge Viper spinning at 75 mph, Jolie clutching to it as she fires large-caliber weapons, the supercar literally driving off the side of an out-of-control bus--is this the stuff of Steve McQueen territory?
Ever since the automobile and movie businesses were born alongside each other in the 1890s, car chases have been putting the motion in motion pictures. But the last 40 years in particular--since the 1968 premiere of Bullitt, starring McQueen as a Mustang-wielding San Francisco cop--have been particularly fruitful in developing the art of on-screen motorized mayhem. Cameras have grown smaller, which means they can be mounted in places where the sense of speed is maximized. Stunt performers have grown bolder as safety advances allow them to simulate more and more dangerous antics. Physical effects have grown more sophisticated so that cars can be destroyed in ever more spectacular ways. Finally, digital imaging allows filmmakers to wipe away evidence of rigging, which has heightened the excitement even more.
The luster of Kazakhstan-born director Timur Bekmambetov's whiz-bang chase in Wanted is its giddy absurdity. We liked the movie, but how does this new crash-and-burn scene rate among the greatest car chases in Hollywood history? It was a close call--one of much debate these last few weeks at Popular Mechanics--but Jolie and Co. couldn't quite crack our top 10. Read on for exactly why (with videos of each scene).
This is not the other Angelina Jolie movie you're thinking of, it's
a classic. And there's no defending producer-director-star-chief stunt
driver H.B. Halicki's original Gone in 60 Seconds as a good movie.
The story is disjointed and random, the dialog could have been written by a
4-year-old, every frame of film looks overexposed and the acting isn't even
good enough to qualify as wooden. But it does feature a 40-minute chase in
which, Halicki was proud to brag, almost 100 cars were wrecked. It's the
sort of film we all dream of making while we're stuck in junior high school
study hall, but it took real-life junkyard owner Halicki to make it.
Tragically, Halicki was killed in 1989 while filming the sequel in a stunt
gone wrong.

Reese Witherspoon in LA With Daughter Ava
Reese Witherspoon Makes a Smiley and Stylish Lunch Run With Ava
Reese Witherspoon Makes a Smiley and Stylish Lunch Run With Ava
Reese Witherspoon and her daughter, Ava, picked up lunch to go in LA yesterday. Reese was covered up in a denim dress and Rag & Bone Harrow booties for the outing, which came less than a month after she gave birth to son Tennessee James. Reese and husband Jim Toth welcomed their first child together on Sept. 27, though we have yet to see Reese out with the baby. She's been spending time with her older kids in recent days, having stopped at Jamba Juice with Deacon last week and watching his soccer game with Jim over the weekend. Reese may be focused on family, but she's also lining up projects since her production company is reportedly developing Great Expectations for television and has the film rights to the bestselling novel Gone Girl.
