Jennings making smooth transition to center field
TAMPA, Fla. -- Desmond Jennings played Gold Glove-caliber defense in 2012 while patrolling left field for the Rays. However, once B.J. Upton departed via free agency to play for the Braves, Jennings was asked to move to center field, the position he played most while coming up through the Rays' farm system.
As expected, that transition has been a smooth one.
"I feel good out there," Jennings said. "Been just like I figured it would be."
Rays manager Joe Maddon expected the transition to be routine for the athletic Jennings, who is speedy and has always run good routes in the outfield.
"I really didn't anticipate any problems at all," Maddon said. "He's played that a lot in the past, in the Minor Leagues. We've had him out there on different occasions. I think that was the position he was born to play. It was always nice having him in left with B.J. in center and [Matt] Joyce in right or [Ben] Zobrist -- that makes it thick. But putting him back in center field gives him a chance to really utilize his speed. Probably the biggest difference between him and B.J. is B.J. had more arm. Otherwise, I think there are a lot of similarities."
Jennings noted that he has had to make few adjustments due to the change.
"The hardest thing for me is to just know the hitters," Jennings said. "[Are] you going to play him to pull or hit to the opposite field? I just have to get back to figuring out who hits the ball where and positioning myself where you think you should be. The toughest part is knowing the hitter. What kind of power does he have? Is he going to slap it?"
Jennings has experienced some injuries during past Spring Trainings, so he's pleased with the way this camp has gone since he's been injury-free.
"My main goal is to stay on the field," Jennings said. "And that's the No. 1 goal. And I've been feeling good. My body feels good. Health-wise, it's the best I've felt going into the start of the season. I'm still working on things in the outfield and hitting. But all in all, I feel pretty good."

Cycling UK Cycling Development Officer for Swindon Anna Cipullo explains how the scheme changes lives:
Cathy Williams joined the course age 61 as a complete beginner saying: "The opportunity as a child to ride a bike just never happened". Later she sprained her ankle after hitting a pothole on one of our course routes, but despite the knock on her already fragile confidence, Cathy rejoined and is now a competent cyclist with her own new bike.
"You talked me into it, and I'm so glad you did," Cathy wrote. "I turn up for cycling in a highly nervous state (not that you'd know) wondering what we will be doing today. It's exhilarating and terrifying all at the same time. I'm never going out on roads I tell myself. Yesterday it was virtually all on roads, quiet ones at that, but really good experience. Obviously odd little blips but I felt safe."

text: from 1-20 literally took me 3 hours, from 2am til 5am. My friend flew around showing me all the spawn locations after he grinded it for weeks. I ended up with 8 after the first lap. Then kept doing laps for the remaining time and ended up completing this achievement by 5am. Spawn times must have been increased? Altho i do play on a quiet server and it was at peak quiet time

What do the Colts have to do to be able to beat the Packers? I say get guys healthy and Vinatieri needs to pratice kicking
Find an army of morbidly obese people to stick in front of Luck throughout the game, subbing for them post-heart failures as necessary.
Then score 50 points and hope it's enough.
I think the Packers game will be a lot closer than people think
One the Packers don't look that impressive to me
Two the whole Ref Debacle is still in their minds I think the Saints will win and this will have a carryover effect on them for the rest of the season despite the ref lockout resolved. They could easily overlook us
To beat the Packers the Colts need Vontae Davis and Justin King to be healthy, Darius Butler could probably fill in for King and probably probably play close to the same level has Justin King, bottom line is though if Darius Butler (never seen him play so I don't know what to expect) or Justin King start for Vontae Davis I can't see them winning. Second thing they need to do is get Pat Angerer and Dwight Freeney back in time for this game. We need Dwight for the pass rush from the other side so Rodgers has Mathis and Freeney coming at him, I say we move Jerrell Freeman to the other ILB spot and let him and Angerer start and rotate Kavell Connor in. Freeman played great but it will be a big boost to our D if we get Angerer back. lastly next will need atleast 3.5 ypc in the game. We don't need a lot of yards or carries from him just an efficient game to keep the D honest. Andrew Luck will also need to throw for 300+ yards, with no more than 1 int. Lastly we need a big game from Donnie Avery and Reggie Wayne, hopefully both, T.Y. Hilton also needs to make himself an open target and complement those 2 reciever. If this happens, I can see the Colts winning 31-27 or 34-31. A lot needs to happen, but it is not like it is far fetched to say these things can happen
I still vividly remember the last time the Packers came to Indy. That was the epic Manning-Favre shootout in 2004 at the Dome. They combined for nine touchdowns (Manning 5, Favre 4).

The holiday season hardly puts a a damper on the 365-days a year effort of our favorite celebrity hotties from self publishing skin-filled pictures of themselves to keep their fans chomping at the bit for more. Sort of all-year round not so secret sextastic Santa Claus series of givings, with images of their own hot-selves as the presents. It's fairly genius.
This week's Sextastic Twitpic Roundup includes a few hot shots of super hottie Candice Swanepoel, Candace Bailey motorboating Sara Jean Underwood, Amanda Bynes cleavage, Heidi Klum sunbathing sans top, Ashley Tisdale dancing, and much much more. You owe it to St. Nick, the patron saint of toy trains (and never received GI Joe action figures for me) to check out each and every one of these celebrity self-published pics. Enjoy.

A very odd question.
Reginald Miller has been on the talk-show circuits for years now. What are all the national shows which we can recall that Reggie has been on?
This is my list so far: David Letterman, Bob Kostas, (Jay Leno?), (Conan O'Brien?), Jimmy Kimmel (he won't be on Tuesday, he canceled), Dan Patrick...what other shows?
I am going to find out every show he was on and get videos of it and I will try to upload them online.

A MAN has been airlifted to hospital after suffering serious injuries in a crash with a suspected drink driver just outside Bolton town centre.
The accident, involving a Vauxhall Astra and a Peugeot, happened in Bridgeman Street, Bolton, at 7.55am this morning.
Firefighters freed the injured man - named locally as Rob Scott - and paramedics treated him at the scene before he was taken by air ambulance to Wythenshawe Hospital, which is a specialist trauma centre in Manchester.
Police said his pelvic injuries were serious and life threatening, though his condition has improved and a hospital spokesman described him as "stable and comfortable."
A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: "A 25-year-old man who was driving the other vehicle suffered minor injuries and was taken to Royal Bolton Hospital for treatment.
"He underwent a breath test at the scene and failed it and has been arrested."
Bridgeman Street was closed between Fletcher Street and Thynne Street for four hours while police investigate the incident. The road is now fully open.
Mr Scott's manager, Jason Kenny, of Perrys Peugeot, Bolton, said: "Rob works as a service technician here and was on his way to work. He was a minute or so away from arriving.
"One of his colleagues went with him in the air ambulance. He is in his mid 20s and likes to keep fit so we're hoping he will recover and are thinking of him."
Mr Scott's family have been informed.
It is understood that Mr Scott's Peugeot was travelling along Bridgeman Street from Thynne Street in the direction of Fletcher Street when it crashed with the Astra travelling in the opposite direction.
A man at the scene, who asked not to be named, said: "I didn't see it happen, but, right afterwards, the driver of the Astra ran away from the scene and went into Sainsbury's to hide.
"He was Asian and a young-looking guy. I think he was arrested afterwards."
A spokesman for University Hospital of South Manchester, which runs Wythenshawe Hospital, said: "Mr Scott is stable and comfortable. He may need to have more treatment here, but he is conscious, breathing and doing well." The spokesmen did not say when it was likely he could return home. Call police on 101 with information.

A typical Prison Break Origami Crane contains many vary kinds of information, often located in specialized parts or sections. Even quick Origami Crane Prison Break produce a result several stand-in operations: introducing the argument, analyzing data, raising counterarguments, concluding. Introductions and conclusions have truth places, but extra parts don't. Counterargument, for example, may appear within a paragraph, as a free-standing section, as portion of the beginning, or in the past the ending. Background material (historical context or biographical information, a summary of relevant theory or criticism, the definition of a key term) often appears at the arrival prison break origami rose instructions of the essay, surrounded by the start and the first logical section, but might in addition to appear near the beginning of the specific section to which it's relevant.

(Readers should have questions. If they don't, your thesis is most likely straightforwardly an observation of fact, not an arguable claim.)
"What?" Prison Break Origami Crane The first ask to anticipate from a reader is "what": What evidence shows that the phenomenon described by your thesis is true? To respond the ask you must examine your evidence, consequently demonstrating the unadulterated of your claim. This "what" or "demonstration" section comes in front in the essay, often directly after the introduction. since you're truly reporting what you've observed, this is the part you might have most to tell about as soon as you first start writing.

How to raise happy toddlers
Welcome to the happy toddler zone that has everything parents need to know about this oh-so special age group. more
I am the mother of three young children aged 22 months, three and a half, and six and a half. I am having issues and concerns with the youngest because she can't speak at the moment and instead screeches and screams for anything and everything. It is driving me crazy!! She very clearly understands everything I ask her to do and she knows what she wants but can't communicate it in words yet which results in the screaming! We remain calm (mostly) and ask her to use her words, we say the word for her so she knows the word she is looking for, we refuse to give her something until she says ta (she can say it but selects when she wants to). I use time out for screaming too. I just don't understand how she could go from such a happy carefree child to a monster overnight.
While not all toddlers behave this way, and perhaps your two older children never did, the behaviour that you are describing is well within what might be considered typical and developmentally appropriate behaviour for a child of this age.
In these early years (generally around the age of two) our children's brains undergo what might be jokingly called a huge brain explosion. They have obviously been developing all the way through, but at this point there's something of a surge in new areas. New neural connections create developmental progress, and with that development comes new abilities. One of these abilities is that your toddler has discovered preferences - her own preferences! She's screaming and behaving this way to help you understand what she wants.
Kids screaming is a terrible inconvenience to us as adults. It's aversive.
It drives us crazy. It's MEANT to!
The principal reason for this is that it points us to the fact that our little one is in need. There is simply no other way for her to effectively tell us. Yes, words would be nice. And yes, by the time a toddler reaches two years, there will usually be a limited vocabulary she can choose words from ... but she's had two years of screaming and it's done her just fine up to now! Why change?
Here's what I am reading in your question:
First, remember that comprehension precedes production. So at this point, everything's working normally, even if it is inconvenient at times. Your daughter is at an age where linguistic production is either exploding or about to explode! Soon she'll be talking non-stop. Her next step is to start using her words more often, and even to start putting words together to form two or three word sentences (in what we call telegraphic speech). But she's not there yet. It's a process, and it doesn't happen overnight.
Second, recognise that her screaming stems from not feeling understood. So she doesn't need 'time-out' for screaming. She needs patience, compassion, and understanding - no mean feat when you're already stressed out and dealing with the two big kids plus everything else a mum has to balance. My suspicion is that if you are able to listen carefully to her needs and show you understand, you'll likely see a reduction in screaming immediately.
Third, remember that at this age, she doesn't understand that her preferences aren't the only ones that matter. When she can't have her own way, she'll still scream. That's normal (and will likely remain so until age four or five). Staying calm and rational is the best way to deal with this.
Fourth, trying to force a child to 'use her words' is like trying to force a child to go to sleep, or eat his veggies. You may be successful, but it's a terrible emotional strain on everyone and is certain to be met with resistance. Instead, be gently encouraging. The words will develop in their own time. Forcing a child to act in such a way, or using time out, may have the effect of creating a sense of 'What's wrong with me and my emotions?' in our kids.
The screaming is a challenge. I am confident that as you try this new, calm approach you'll see a change in your toddler and in yourself, and the house will become at least a little more peaceful.

Not long ago, I wrote a {rave} review on Mimi the Sardine Lunchbugs–some of the cutest little lunch bags that I've ever seen! I wasn't the only one that loved them–YOU guys did too! We had an amazing turnout and now, I am so happy to say that Mimi the Sardine is BACK today! At the perfect time, I might add. With parents everywhere scurrying to tie up their back to school shopping, Mimi the Sardine is the perfect place to do that! They sell bibs, aprons, splash mats, lunchbugs, backpacks, placemats, and tablecloths–all perfect for back to school.
This time Mimi the Sardine sent me a Splash Mat in the Hybrid Cars pattern. Gotta say that just like last time–I love it! The pattern is SO CUTE! The Splash Mat itself is really large at 36" x 46" {a very nice quality not found often!}. It's perfect to use under a high chair to catch food and spills and also perfect for crafts. Below, you can see Lucas doing some art and crafts on top of his new splash mat.
The fabric is really the best part of all though! Mimi the Sardine uses water-based acrylic coated cotton fabrics that meet Oeko-Tex 100 standards for safe and environmentally-friendly fabrics. Plus, many of the fabrics are organic cotton {the ones that aren't, will be soon}. So, they are safe for kids and the environment! What's really great about the fabric though is that it is easily wipeable and so soft! You know how many wipeable fabrics are stiff and rigid {think plastic bibs and kid's aprons that barely move}? The fabrics that Mimi the Sardine use are NOT LIKE THAT ALL! The fabric is soft, flexible, and folds up small. Oh, and did I mention? The splash mat is also machine washable! LOVE IT!
Want It: The Splash Mat comes in a variety of patterns and retails for $34.95. For more information or to purchase, please visit Mimi the Sardine.

Competition shows how far Rays have come
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Illustrating how far the Rays have advanced from Devil Rays days is the competition for the No. 5 starter spot.
Roberto Hernandez, Jeff Niemann, Chris Archer and Jake Odorizzi -- each of whom could make any Major League rotation -- would all easily have made most any Devil Rays rotation. Instead, just one will be in the Rays' 2013 starting rotation.
"That just shows you how far this organization has come," Niemann said. "Shows you that the model the organization has is so good, because they haven't changed the model of how they do things. ... It's the model that's been built and they've followed it to a T. I can't remember a time since I've been in the big leagues and haven't looked back and said, 'Man, there's like five guys at Triple-A who could be pitching up here.'"

NBC now admits no Assault Rifle used at Newtown
So I am seeing a number of reports from non- mainstream that NBC admits that an assault weapon was not used.
This is one from the independent Journal.
Pete Williams, who is NBC's chief Justice correspondent, reported the following in the video posted above:
This continues to be a very complex investigation and there is a lot of contradictory information out there, but we have some new information this morning (one month ago) from a couple of federal officials and state officials.
They say now that there were actually four handguns inside the school, not just two as we were initially told. Four handguns and apparently only handguns that were taken into the school.
We knew that Adam Lanza, the man said to be the gunman here, also had an 'assault-style' AR-15 -style rifle that he had had taken to the school, it was in the car he drove there, his mother's car, but we have been told by several officials that he had left that in the car.

The problem is people put to much trust in reporting/media. They all scrambled to be the first to report what guns were used and ended up leaving 80% of the public misinformed.
Wait for an offical report to come out before speculating anymore about it.

Bill. There are multiple links I have found. Most show the information released yesterday but the information seems dated. If you out "no assault weapon" into a search phrase you get multiple reports. But again. This might be conspiracy.

Very shortly after the event, I remember one or two news reports saying the rifle was left in the car. All later reports I saw were that a rifle was used.
News organizations sometimes get information wrong when they're rushing to report on an event. That's not evidence of a lie or of a conspiracy.

Ok, so it is most likely conspiracy. I got an email from a friend about it so I started researching. I could not find a whole bunch of "reputable" sources but it was off that so many were showing as reported within the last 24 hours. The friend I for the original from is not a conspiracy type normally so I thought I would run it by here to see if anyone else had input.
Unfortunately. Today it is so tough to trust anything you read no matter the source since there are so many agendas out there.

It is not hard for the reporter to print what he knows and leave the stuff he thinks, but doesnt know, on the editing floor.

The news media reports, in many cases such as the CT shooting, what is told to them by sources. When a spokesperson from the police tells them information, they do not know it to be true. In many cases, they cannot even begin to verify if it is true or not because they are not allowed inside the crime scene, so they report what is told to them.
NBC didn't admit to anything. They reported what was being told at the time it was being told. What is in that link was the information reported by the POLICE to reporters at the time that changed. It was also reported that the shooter was somebody else. There was no conspiracy there at all. The name given was provided by the police, but turned out to be wrong.

Conspiracy theory stuff due to poor initial reporting.

So a "couple of Feds and state officials were going out of their way to lie to NBC?" This video was from the morning AFTER the shooting for anyone that wants to know.
And the AR-15 was in the trunk right? Does this look like an AR-15 to people that actually know guns?
But wait? The medical examiners goes out of his way to state that all of the victims were killed by the "long rifle!?"
If you can watch all of this and not understand what is going on, I don't know what to say. Open your eyes people.

Welcome to the XMS Help Center
XMS is an administrative system that allows you to manage and track registration information using five basic objects:
Courses, Sections, Students, Registrations,
. In addition to these main objects there is a variety of functions in XMS to deal with reports, mailing lists, searching, and user administration. The instructions in this
Help Center
provide an explanation of the relationships among each of these objects to help you understand how they interact with one another, as well as basic instructions on how to manage each object as a step-by-step tutorial.
Browser Requirements
Internet Explorer (IE) version 7.0 or higher
is required. It is important not to use any other browser, including browsers which offer IE engine support plug-ins, since they do not work with several XMS features and can result in incorrectly entered data. When using a browser other than IE, the message shown here will alert you of this. Please contact your IT department if upgrades to your browser software are needed.
Logging In
To use XMS you must be given access to it and assigned group privileges. Talk to the director of your department. Once you are granted access to XMS, you will be able to log in using your
GatorLink ID
(GLID). A GatorLink account is required to gain access to XMS. If you do not have a GatorLink account, please contact your supervisor.
Log in with your GLID and password. If the login fails, XMS will give you the reason why.
After a successful login, you have access to XMS to the degree that the permissions on your account allow. Your session expires automatically after one hour of inactivity, which requires you to log in again.
User Groups
The term User Group indicates a department associated with DCE. Depending on your permissions, you may have access to one or more such groups. Most users, however, usually deal with only one group.
If you do have access to multiple groups, you can change between them by using the pull down menu in the top right corner of the main window. To set a particular group as the default you work with when logging in, go to that group and click the
Whenever you change user group, or set a current group as default, XMS reloads the system and brings you back to the home page. Because you are effectively switching between very different sets of information, all unsaved changes will be lost. An alert message allows you to cancel the change in case you inadvertantly hit the
button or change to another group in the pull down menu.
The Options box allows you to customize your XMS display. The
theme is the default, as is
100 Results PP
, which determines how many results per page will be shown when searching in XMS. To change these options, simply choose another option from the respective pull down menu and click the
The default search criteria are
Student → Last Name → Begins With

The Help box offers various resources to help you understand XMS better or solve specific problems. Some of the more often used items are direct links to topics in this Help Center.
XMS Support Forum
is a forum maintained by the XMS developers in which problems, solutions, and general information is shared between XMS developers and users. All XMS users are strongly encouraged to create an account and check the forum regularly. The XMS login page always list the last 7 technical updates posted to the forum by the developers with direct links to the forum and an indicator to distinguish post that are new since the last updates.
The forum is divided into two general areas: one that is specific to XMS and one that is specific to DCE Reports (XMS and generic). Both areas offer input for gugs and feature requests.
When posting to the forum, it is important to keep bugs and feature requests separated, as well as particular XMS matter and Reports. Feature requests refer to working functionality that currently does not exist in XMS, or functionality that does exist but could be improved significantly, or improvements to reports. Bugs are errors in the software that cause it to function erratically or not at all, or crash. Bugs can be minor inconveniences that can be worked around, or show-stoppers that should be addressed immediately. Please be objective when categorizing an issue as a bug or feature request.
We request all users to
post issues on the forum. If something is urgent, you can first send a message to
DOCE Help
(which all IT members will receive); if something is absolutely critical, you can first contact the developer directly. In either case, always follow up with a post to the forum so that all other XMS users are also informed of the issue and the fact that is being addressed.

A famous author was invited to attend the dress rehearsal of a very serious play by a very serious young playwritter. He came, but unfortunately he slept through a greater part of the play. The angry playwritter said to hum later:
- How could you sleep when you knew how much I wanted your opinion?
The famous author replied:
- Young man, sleep is also an opinion...
- Daddy, when I grow up, I want to be an Arctic explorer.
- That's fine, Tom...
- But I want to go into training at once.
- How can you do it?
- I want one dollar a day for ice-cream so I'll get used to the cold.
Father: You know, Jack, when Lincole was your age he was a very good pupil. He was the best pupil in his class.
Son: Yes, father, I know that and I was also know when he was your age, he was President of The United States.
Mother: I left 2 apples in the cupboard this afternoon, Tom, and now there is only one there. Can you explain it?
Tom: Because it was so dark, Mamma, I didn't see the other.
Little mouse: -Mammy, Who's saying something that I don't understand at all?
Mother mouse: - Silent! It's our enemy. Don't go out our house. That dirty cat is threatening us.
Little mouse: - How do you understand what he said?
Mother mouse: - It's the best example for the use of learning foreign language.
Teacher: - What is an abstract noun?
Pupil: - I don't know, teacher.
Teacher: - What? You don't know! Well, it is the name of a thing you can think of but you can not touch. Now, give me an example.
Pupil: - A red-hot-poker.
The officer said to his new soldiers:
- You have to love guns like your wife, and look for them carefully. Can you do it?
A new soldier replied:
- No, I can't, Sir.
- Why? Why can't you? - The officer shouted angrily.
- Because I haven't married yet, I don't know how the man loves his wife!
- 2 fathers and 2 sons, how many persons are there in total?
- Too easily! Four!
- Wrong!
- Why is it wrong?
- I am the son of my father. My father is the son of my grandfather. So 2 fathers and 2 sons are three persons. Is it right?
- What is the use of our eyes?
- To see!
- What is the use of our ears?
- To listen to!
- What is the use of our nose?
- To put spectacles on!
- In my village, there are the wonderful machines which can make milk and meat from grass.
- Oh, you are the greatest liar in all the world! I can not believe it!
- Why don't you believe it? They are cows...

Google announced plans Tuesday to hold a "Glass Foundry" in San Francisco and New York in the coming weeks: Two full days of hacking that will allow developers to get an early look at Glass and start developing for the platform. This means that developers who want to get their hands on Google's Project Glass will be able to get them soon! Glass Foundry will be held in San Francisco from Jan. 28 to 29 and in New York from Feb. 1 to 2.
Both events require registration and are available only to a limited number of developers. Developers who take part in the Glass Foundry events will be able to use units on-site, but we have been told that those that are going to the events have agreed to pay $1,500 for the developer edition of the wearable device. A release for a product geared toward the general public based on Google Glass technology isn't probable until 2014.
Google first debuted the titanium-framed glasses headset during its Google I/O conference in June. At the time, the wearable platform had video and audio capability, a built-in compass and accelerometer, and was controlled by head movements. Babak Parviz, the head of the Google Glass project, said in a recent interview that the company is currently also experimenting with voice commands, a touch pad, and a phone call feature.

Barack Obama
Barack Obama was the Democratic Party's 2008 presidential nominee. He was also a member of the U.S. Senate as a representative of Illinois. He was elected the first African-American president of the United States on November 4, 2008, and is up for re-election in November 2012.
AppealWomen have always been significant influences in Barack Obama's life. He credits his late mother, Ann Dunham, with instilling the values that shaped his approach to politics. Barack Obama also gives thanks to his mother for educating him on his own African-American heritage. As Barack Obama had a distant relationship with his father, he refers to his mother as "the one who was the single constant in my life."
In recent years, Barack Obama's most prominent female influence has been his wife, Michelle. They met in 1989 when she worked as his advisor at Sidley Austin, a Chicago-based law firm. Their subsequent marriage solidified Barack Obama's personal life, but also introduced him to professional allies like Jesse Jackson and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley. Barack Obama's presidential campaign has also brought female endorsements from names like Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Charlize Theron, Meryl Streep, and Scarlett Johansson.
SuccessBarack Obama's presidential ambitions originated in a third-grade essay and blossomed into a list of growing accomplishments. Not only was Barack the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, but he also became the U.S.'s first black president after successfully being elected in 2008. Thanks to his public service in the Illinois and U.S. Senate, Barack Obama was twice recognized by Time as one of the top 100 most influential people in the world, and was included by New Statesman on their list of 10 people who could change the world. Now that he's been president, this has only continued.
A best-selling author, Barack Obama has penned numerous books, including Dreams from My Father, The Audacity of Hope and Barack Obama in His Own Words. Each one was well-received, winning him Grammy Awards for Best Spoken Word Album for the audio versions of his books.
Obama's policy decisions to date have addressed a global financial crisis and have included changes in tax policies, legislation to reform the United States health-care industry, foreign policy initiatives, and the phasing out of detention of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba. While Obama's opponents debate the success he's had in these endeavors, one thing's for sure -- no man would find his job easy.
Barack Obama BiographyBarack Hussein Obama II was born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii. Due to an early parental divorce and his mother's new marriage, Barack Obama spent the bulk of his elementary school years in Indonesia. One of his most notable moments came in third grade when he wrote an essay about his desire to be president in order to make others happy.
Upon his return to Hawaii, high school was a more challenging experience for Barack. While he played on the school basketball team and embraced the cultural variety of his peers, he struggled with identity issues and briefly experimented with drugs. In recollection, Barack Obama considers his past drug use to be his biggest personal mistake.
After graduating from Honolulu's Punahou School, Barack Obama headed to California and attended Occidental College for two years before transferring to Columbia University where he completed a B.A. degree in 1983, majoring in political science.
barack obama in chicago and at harvardLiving in Chicago from 1985 until 1988, Barack Obama served as the Developing Communities Project's director, a challenging role that had him encouraging minorities with underprivileged backgrounds to make positive changes in their lives. Obama's influence clearly made a difference in the organization, as the budget grew exponentially and the staff increased tenfold during his time there.
In 1988, Barack Obama moved to Boston to attend Harvard Law School. In his second year, he broke new ground with his election as the president of the Harvard Law Review, the first African-American to win be awarded the title. As a result of his success at Harvard, the University of Chicago Law School invited him to take a faculty job and facilitated the writing of his first book, Dreams from My Father. The book would also earn Barack Obama a Grammy Award for its recording as a spoken word album.
barack obama in the illinois and u.s. senateAt the University of Chicago Law School, Barack Obama worked as a lecturer for 12 years beginning in 1992, but he was also working toward a career in politics. After working as a civil rights and economic development litigator, Barack Obama gained election into the Illinois Senate in 1996 where he would stay for eight years. A few of his notable political choices were tax benefits in the low-income sector and financial assistance for childcare.
After declaring his intention to run in 2003, Barack Obama officially joined the U.S. Senate in 2004 after winning 52% of the vote. He was selected as the keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention and, as a senator, he was instrumental in the creation of many bills, including two that were named after him: the Lugar-Obama Bill, an update of a previous bill designed to dismantle nuclear weapons in the previous Soviet Union, and the Coburn-Obama Transparancy Act, a bill that provided the public with the means to see which organizations receive government money.
barack obama runs for presidentAt the Old State Capitol building where Abraham Lincoln once spoke, Barack Obama declared his intention to run for U.S. President in early 2007. Within the first six months of the year, his campaign earned $58 million in donations -- a new record. In the first month of 2008, Barack Obama earned another $36.8 million, which also set a new monthly record for candidates in the midst of the Democratic primaries.
Over the course of the Democratic race, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton fought a stiff battle that saw them splitting votes until June, when Barack Obama finally earned enough delegates to win status as a presumptive nominee. He made it official at the Democratic National Convention in August. After selecting Senator Joe Biden as his running mate, Barack Obama subsequently went head-to-head against John McCain and Sarah Palin in the official race for the U.S. Presidency.
barack obama becomes president of the united states of americaAfter one of the most politically charged, controversial and entertaining races in U.S. history, Barack Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States of America, and in December 2008, he was named Time's Person of the Year.
President Obama wasted no time after his inauguration. Minutes after the administration of the Oath of Office, Obama enacted a pay freeze for Senior White House Staff making more than $100,000 per year due to the economic crisis. Two days later, Obama signed one of the most groundbreaking orders of his presidency to date -- an executive order announcing the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp within a year and a prohibition on using torture and other illegal coercive techniques, such as waterboarding, during interrogations and detentions.
Obams's presidency has been marked by his use of social media to involve the public. His video addresses are mostly available on YouTube, a policy compared to Franklin D. Roosevelt's fireside chats, and the administration launched a website to explain the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. During his transition to presidency, he maintained the website Change.gov, on which he wrote blog posts to readers and uploaded video addresses by many of the members of his new cabinet.
In October 2009, Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."
On March 25, 2010, Obama signed his most controversial reform legislation into law, a landmark health-care reform of the private health insurance market, that aimed to provide better coverage to those with pre-existing conditions and improve prescription-drug coverage in Medicare.
barack obama runs for reelectionOn April 4, 2011, President Barack Obama formally announced his intention to run again for president in November 2012. No longer the rookie politician, and with some voters disillusioned with him, Obama will face serious competition in what promises to be a tough battle for the presidency.

With Safety in mind, please be cautioned that small and stick-type toys
are not recommended for children under three years of age.
"Toys From Times Past" from wood is my joy and my living. In designing
and making each toy, trick, and "executive" puzzle, attention
to detail is important. Beginning with rough boards of cherry, walnut, maple,
and mahogany, I plane, size cut, and sand the wood until it is ready to
be used. I then make the many different parts involved in the various toys.
I also use the lathe to turn several of the toys. Many of the puzzles have
secret, internal locks and I especially enjoy this challenge. Danish oil
is used to finish the over sixty items I currently create. Upon completion,
the toys display the beauty of the hardwoods and create opportunities for
fun and challenge for all ages. My wife, Dawn, has been my helper in the
business, assembling toys, doing historical research, and demonstrating
at shows with me.

Big Bend Ranch Cattle Drive Set for Oct. 21-23
PRESIDIO – Live the lore of the Old West by saddling up for the biannual Longhorn Cattle Drive taking place Oct. 21-23 in Texas' largest state park – Big Bend Ranch. This fall marks the 16th year of the state park's most popular program that attempts to expose "city slickers" to the Southwest's cowboy culture.
Participants, some inexperienced "dudes" and others more accomplished equestrians, spend three days helping Big Bend Ranch wranglers round up, drive and pen the park's historic longhorns for vaccinations and branding. Over the years, hundreds of guests have come from throughout the United States, as well as from Australia, Canada and England, to experience a taste of the Texas' ranching heritage and the Wild West days at the more than 300,000-acre wilderness park.
The state park program can accommodate up to 15 wranglers. The cost of the three-day event is $975, which includes a horse and tack provided by a Big Bend area outfitter, park entry fee, lodging/camping fees, meals and the assistance of park wrangler guides.
Program participants will meet at 10 a.m., Thursday at Sauceda, the Big Bend Ranch headquarters. They receive an orientation to the ranch and cattle drive program, receive safety instruction and saddle up their mounts before riding to the pastures to start rounding up the longhorns. Cowhands can camp beneath the stars that night or return to the bunkhouse at Sauceda for the night.
On Friday morning, participants finish rounding up the cattle and drive them to the cattle pens at Sauceda to be "worked." A chuck wagon meal and cowboy entertainment each evening enhance the West Texas cowboy experience.
After a hearty breakfast the next morning, the dudes help ranch wranglers sort the calves from the bulls and heifers, and after receiving instruction, vaccinate, brand and ear-tag the cattle. Wranglers can then retire to the bunkhouse for rest or help drive the herd back to the pasture before heading home. Participants are welcome to come a day early and/or stay a day late but are subject to regular park fees.
Reservations are required and must be made by contacting the Customer Contact Center in Austin at (512) 389-8919.
Big Bend Ranch State Park is located in far west Texas just northeast of Presidio off State Highway 170.

Dublin is teeming with culture, charm and architecture. Home to poets, artists and novelists, including Oscar Wilde, the city is among the most welcoming in Europe, and offers exquisite cuisine and superb shopping.
Beyond the effortless style of its monuments and buildings, Dublin offers breathtaking natural beauty in its coastline, countryside and mountains. If the weather is in your favour, you are around an hour's drive from County Wicklow's spectacular beaches of Brittas Bay and Silver Strand. The stunning Wicklow Mountains are also a must.
Sports enthusiasts should take the chance to visit Croke Park and perhaps catch a game of Gaelic football, although you may need an obliging local to explain the rules.
If you want to soak up some local history on your trip to Dublin, there is plenty to entertain visitors of all ages. The Geological Museum will tell you all you need to know about the natural history of the region, from prehistoric fossils to modern mineral collections, while the Zoological Museum offers an intriguing and interactive perspective on the landscape.
Ireland has many famous sons: George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett, James Joyce. Wilde and Shaw were born in Dublin, and Shaw Birthplace, at 33 Synge Street, Saint Kevin's, is a tourist attraction and museum, dedicated to his wit and works.
If you would prefer some history with a musical twist, then pay a visit to the Piper's Parlour, where you can hear the story behind Ireland's national instrument – the Uilleann pipes. And if the kids get restless, try taking a trip to Dublin Zoo or the National Sea Life Bray, which is in Bray, around 45 minutes' drive from Dublin.
Dublin's Abbey Theatre, founded in 1904, still puts on some of the best shows in the country. It stages its share of classics, but also supports budding writers.
The National Gallery houses European and Irish fine art in a distinguished setting, while Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane focuses on contemporary art. More commonly known as The Hugh Lane Gallery it includes a reconstruction of the studio of 20th-century figurative painter Francis Bacon.
Ireland is world-renowned for its natural beauty and Dublin is within easy reach of some stunning scenery. About 75 minutes' drive from the city is Wicklow Mountains National Park. Here, you can ramble over moss-strewn hills, laced with burbling streams, hidden lakes and forests.
The Irish culture embraces hearty meals, with plenty of meat and potatoes. You will find plenty of excellent places to eat, including the usual fast-food outlets. But take the time to discover some of the more exclusive restaurants, where you will be treated to outstanding cuisine, created from local produce, fresh vegetables and the world-famous Dublin Bay prawns.
For a true taste of the Emerald Isle, sample Irish Stew, an autumnal mix of meat (lamb or beef), potatoes and vegetables.
"Champ" is mashed potatoes embedded with spring onions, butter and black pepper, and is often served with meat dishes. Closer to the coast, you will find plenty of restaurants serving fresh seafood, including another Dublin speciality – oysters.
If you are travelling to Dublin, you ought to set some time aside to explore the myriad shops and markets within its city limits.
The city's most famous shopping area is in Grafton Street, where you will find high-end businesses housed in magnificent white-stone buildings. You will also find plenty of impromptu entertainment, as Grafton Street is something of a playground for street entertainers and a platform for musicians.
When you book a flight to Dublin with Qatar Airways, you will travel on a Qatar Airways-operated flight to London Heathrow and connect to Dublin with our partner airlines.
Your final destination will be Dublin Airport, about 8km north of the city. It is well served by public transport and taxis, and has excellent car rental facilities.
Visa restrictions for entry into Ireland will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Dublin please check the visa and passport requirements.

Some experts are calling the increase in the use of the drug heroin an epidemic and are urging community leaders, parents and schools to act on this problem.
Last year in Hennepin and Ramsey counties alone, 120 people died after using heroin and other opiates.
In Mille Lacs County, four persons have died in heroin-related deaths. County Attorney Jan Jude says she can't remember a heroin case before last year.
Police departments in the Minnetonka Lake area are estimating 60 cases where heroin is involved over a year.
Partnership for a Drug Free America says 2,500 teens daily abuse heroin.
The use of heroin has become so alarming that the sheriffs from Hennepin, Ramsey and Anoka counties recently held a press conference for good reason. In Hennepin County the number of heroin-overdose deaths went from eight in 2010 to 21 last year. Anoka County went from five deaths to 13 and Ramsey County from three deaths in 2010 to 12 in 2011.
The sheriffs emphasized that this use of heroin is happening all over the Twin Cities and suburban communities. In the past, people have taken methamphetamine, cocaine and prescription pain killers.
"Now the issue is prescription opiate abuse," says Carol Falkowski, drug abuse strategy officer for the Minnesota Human Services Department.
Falkowski says it is time for individual communities to attack this problem.
One place to start is for everyone to clean out their medicine cabinets and get rid of all the unused prescription medicines, particularly pain killers.
Sheriff offices have set up collection points for these unused medications where no questions will be asked. Contact your local police departments to see if they will dispose of unused prescriptions.
Drug abusers will abuse what they can find. Users particularly like Adderall and prescription drugs used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Once they run out of drugs from home, users in the Twin Cities turn to heroine, which is said to be the purest in the country, making it even more lethal.
Falkowski says community leaders can educate people about the problem, help inform parents and establish necessary policies.
Parents need to talk to their children about using other children's medicine. Falkowski says children are not getting the message on not sharing medications with other kids.
Parents need to realize that even their sons and daughters could be taking heroin and if overdosed need to administer naloxone and call 911.
Education leaders need to talk and teach about drug abuse just as they treat any health issue, particularly in the earlier grades. Detective Jami Wittke of the Mound Police Department teaches sixth graders about the dangers of taking drugs as part of the DARE program.
Special drug task forces, including the West Metro Task Force, are enforcing the drug abuse laws.
An all-out attack on the use of heroin is needed if the epidemic is to be lessened.

Topic: Can it be true - no cancer?!
My mother, 63 years old, was diagnosed with a large liver tumor (8cm x 6cm x 10cm) in May '09, which had not spread anyhere else. Liver resection in July, chemo started in August (gemzar and cisplatin) for 6 cycles. She finished up chemo earlier this month.
She had a PET scan on Wednesday. The doctor was off, but her wonderful oncology nurse called her Christmas Eve to tell her the scan showed NO SIGN OF CANCER. Anywhere.
Can this be true? Four days later and I'm still pinching myself, like I'm going to wake up from a dream. Mom certainly has a fighting spirit and we all were so positive throughout it all. But I had prepared myself for the worst (both consciously and subconsciously I think), so hearing the cancer is gone was unbelievable.
I know this battle will never be over. We have an appointment Tuesday to find out details of what kinds of follow up tests she'll need moving forward, since I'm assuming they'll want to keep tabs on her. As with everything over the last 7 months, it's all such a learning experience for me.
I hope this maybe gives some comfort and hope to those battling this nasty beast. And please know that my heart is with those of you who have lost the battle. This must be such a hard time of year.
my mother lost her 16 month battle with CC 9/26/10

Learn how to create attractive, sophisticated blogs and websites—without any coding! WordPress is the world's most popular website publisher, powering more than 25% of all sites on the Internet. WordPress is an easy-to-use solution that will help you put your site on the Web in far less time than by coding, and at a much lower cost than hiring a professional.
In these lessons, you'll get hands-on experience with this powerful tool as you create your own WordPress.org site and blog. You'll find out how to use WordPress to create pages and posts, add images and videos, change a site's look and feel, and include user-friendly features. You'll discover the ease of using WordPress design themes to express your creativity, and you'll see how much fun it is to be part of the vibrant WordPress online community.
In addition to mastering the technical elements of WordPress, you'll learn how to organize a blog or website, create appealing content, keep your site secure, and achieve better positions on search engine results pages. By the end of this course, you'll be able to confidently use WordPress to create a blog or a personal, business, or organizational website.
The WordPress.org version covered in this class is the platform the pros use. While it normally requires a paid hosting account, this course includes a totally free, no obligation SiteGround hosting account for three months, along with a private place on the Web for practice.
Course Revised June 2016
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
• Internet access
• Email
• One of the following browsers:
o Mozilla Firefox
o Microsoft Internet Explorer (9.0 or above)

• Adobe PDF plug-in (a free download obtained at Adobe.com .)
No software purchase or installation is necessary. WordPress.org requires a paid hosting account, which normally costs around $8/month. Included in the course is a free 90-day hosting account (US only) and temporary domain with SiteGround, one of the world's most respected hosts. You'll receive instructions for registering for and accessing your free account. WordPress runs on any Windows operating system from Windows Vista to Windows 10 and on all versions of Mac OS X. No specific knowledge or skills are required, just a general familiarity with the Internet.
This is my 4th ed2go course and John was by far the most responsive instructor to date. He spends the time to address everyone's questions and to ensure that we become comfortable with a most daunting subject. I highly recommend this class to anyone that has a interest in the subject.
This class was extremely well done. The instructor, John, did and excellent job in teaching the material.
This was a great class!
John is one of the best online instructors I have ever had. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn. He is patient and quick to respond to students' questions or concerns.
This was an excellent course, as it helped me to become familiar with WP -- something that would not be possible from just reading a book.
Excellent course, excellent instructor. This was my first online course and I didn't know what to expect. I was wondering, "How can you raise your hand if you have a question?" But John answered questions/concerns in a timely, constructive manner, which I appreciated. The course is well-organized. Probably one of the best organized courses I've taken and I've taken a plenty!
Thank you for creating a course that has given me valuable information and helped bring me back to educating myself. This has been an excellent experience and I will tell anyone interested in creating a blog pr website about the course.
I really want to let you know how great I think you've been as an instructor. The depth and length of your responses have been phenomenal. Your knowledge of the subject and your ability to put your students at ease with a subject that overwhelms most of us is exemplary. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am not now an expert - but I do have the confidence that I can get in there and tackle the world of web design.
This is really the best class Education To Go has to offer. You are the best instructor and you make it fun!
I definitely got what I needed out of this class. My primary objective was to learn how to work with a self-hosted WordPress website/blog that I took over for a client. Previously, I was intimidated by WordPress because I had never worked in it. This class gave me enough knowledge and confidence to dive into the existing WordPress site and start making changes to it, as well as set up my own self-hosted WordPress site which I am integrating with an existing, traditional website. Even though my objective was outside the scope of the class, the material you covered and the conversations in the Discussion area gave me what I was looking for.
