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
Impetigo is a skin infection that occurs most commonly in children and babies. Because impetigo primarily affects school-aged children, it's often called school sores. Most cases of impetigo occur during warmer weather.
Impetigo is caused by Staphylococcus or Streptococcus bacteria which sometimes live on the skin. When a child has a cut or sore, the bacteria can get down into the deeper layers of skin and cause an infection. Impetigo is highly contagious.
Impetigo is generally not serious and clears up on its own in two to three weeks. But, if large areas of skin become infected, impetigo can become severe. Severe impetigo can cause the sores to abscess. Impetigo can be dangerous for newborns.
Impetigo is best prevented through thorough and frequent hand washing. If your child has impetigo, you can help prevent the spread to other children by keeping her away from others until she is no longer contagious - about a day or two after she begins antibiotic treatment. Keep her sores clean and covered. Your child can get impetigo from other children or from sharing toys with infected children.
The incubation period for impetigo is about four days. In addition to a general feeling of being unwell, your child may have the following symptoms:
Wash your child's sores four times a day with an antibiotic soap and pat the sores dry. Cover the sores with a waterproof dressing. Your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic cream or ointment for you to use. Use paracetamol for fever.
Call the doctor if your baby shows signs of impetigo. Because of her reduced immunity, infections may be difficult to control and may need to be treated. You should also call the doctor if your child does not appear to be getting better or if her impetigo spreads or is getting worse even with antibiotic treatment.

text: Huggins: 'We're going to be all right' By Dave Hickman November 27, 2012 Story Share MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - In 104 seasons of basketball, West Virginia has never gotten off to a worse four-game beginning to a season than this year.A 1-3 start has happened just four other times, most recently to begin the 1979-80 season. The other three were in consecutive years prior to World War I - 1915-16 through 1917-18.But as the Mountaineers attempt to avoid an even worse early-season run for the first time since the 1916-17 team opened at 1-6, coach Bob Huggins isn't ready to hit the panic button. In fact, while admitting that his team has tons of work to do, he's convinced that it is also, at least to a degree, a victim of circumstances."The truth is we could have played some people and been 4-0 right now and everybody would think, 'They're going to be really good,' '' Huggins said. "But we didn't. We came out of the gate playing people who were pretty good.''The result has been a blowout loss on the road at No. 12 Gonzaga and close losses on a neutral court to Davidson and Oklahoma. Those three teams are a combined 12-4, with half the losses coming to Gonzaga during the Old Spice Tournament in Orlando, Fla. West Virginia's win came in that tournament against Marist.Tonight the Mountaineers finally open their home season with a game against VMI (3-3) at the Coliseum. The 7 p.m. contest will be televised by Root Sports.How bad have the Mountaineers been? Well, the games against Davidson and Oklahoma were virtual toss-ups within the final few minutes. A break here or a bounce there and 1-3 could easily be 3-1."We go 8 for 17 from the free-throw line against Davidson and miss a whole bunch of easy shots,'' Huggins said. "And then we maybe kind of got the Oklahoma game going the way we wanted it to go and we throw the ball to them a couple of times and miss some more free throws. It isn't good, but it isn't as bad as [it seems]. "Things are never as good as you think they are and they're never as bad as you think they are. We're going to be all right.''In order to be all right, though, some things are going to have to change. West Virginia is shooting just 39.8 percent from the field, 25.8 percent on 3-pointers and 65.6 percent on free throws. As bad as all those percentages are, they are far worse in the three losses. The Mountaineers shot 52.9 percent and made 5 of 9 3s and 10 of 14 free throws in the win over Marist.West Virginia is also fouling too much - big men Deniz Kilicli, Aaric Murray and Kevin Noreen have each fouled out of a game - and have six more turnovers (51) than assists.Those are all areas that have to be addressed, as well as the one that Huggins was certain would be a team strength this season. Because of a deep pool of guards and overall depth, he wants to run the floor more than he has in his five previous seasons at West Virginia and get easy baskets. Those haven't come, nor has the outside shooting hoped for from players like sophomore Jabarie Hinds, transfer Matt Humphrey and freshman Terry Henderson. Those three have taken almost 70 percent of the team's 3-pointers, but combined to make only 30.2 percent (13 of 43)."Against Oklahoma, Jabarie makes three of his first four shots and then misses his last six,'' Huggins said. "Dom [Rutledge] misses a wide-open layup and then we have three 2-on-1s and don't finish any of them."And the crazy thing about it, because we were going to try to play faster, we've worked more on 2-on-1s and 3-on-2s and 4-on-3s than we have since I've been here.'' There should be plenty of those opportunities tonight against VMI, which is 10th in the country in scoring at 85.3 points per game, and obviously tends to play at a fast pace.A win, of course, would be great medicine for the Mountaineers, who after tonight have a week off before the annual game with Marshall in Charleston next Wednesday. That begins a rapid-fire stretch of six games in 18 days before the Christmas break. Going into that on a three-game losing streak would not be ideal.Regardless of the outcome tonight, though, Huggins isn't afraid of losing his team in a string of disheartening losses."We're not going to lose it. In 31 years we've never lost it,'' Huggins said. "You've got to learn from your mistakes."If it was just one guy you could fix it. But it's been a whole bunch of different guys. But we're learning. We did a better job of running offense in practice [Monday] than we have all year. We've got to score points.''BRIEFLY: West Virginia played VMI just two years ago in Charleston, winning 82-66. That was the first game between the teams since 1969. To illustrate just how long ago that was, that previous game was at the Mountaineer Field House. But the two teams do have a long history because both were members of the Southern Conference in the 1950s and '60s. West Virginia owns a 42-5 advantage in the series.Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

Not Your Daddys HART Standard
Wired HART and WirelessHART Form an Integrated Field
HART is the de facto standard in this industry and will remain so for a significant time. It is standard in all our devices, says Hans Georg Kumpfmüller, Siemens AG, Germany. Not only a de facto standard, HART technology also is established in IEC global standards. In IEC61804, HART EDDL technology is established in cooperation with Fieldbus Foundation and Profibus Nutzerorganization (PNO). In IEC 61158, the HART Application Layer and Services are part of the standard. IEC 61784-1 establishes the HART Communication Profile.
I see HART 7 as the reliable, low-cost solution for users to use more of the power in their installed HART-enabled devices, says Thomas Holmes, CEO of MACTek Corporation, a manufacturer of HART modems. The additional features included in HART 7 step up the game, opening opportunities for improved asset management, lower operating cost, and less downtime.
HART technology is one of the most widely used fieldbus communication standards in the world. Seventy percent of the process measurement and control devices shipped worldwide each year use HART communication, adding to the over 41% of installed devices that already use HART communicationfor a total of over 26 million devices shipped and installed worldwide.
As devices have changed, applications have changed, and requirements have changed, HART has also changed to keep pace. All the things you knew and loved about HART Communication before are still true, but with the new capabilities of HART 7, theres a whole lot more. HART Communication is not your daddys protocol!
The HART protocol was originally a hybrid analog-digital technology, says Peter Zornio, Chief Strategic Officer, Emerson Process Management. By contrast, WirelessHART (part of HART 7) is an all-new, all-digital mesh networking technology. Whats been retained in WirelessHART and enhanced in HART 7 for both wired and wireless are the tools, technologies, and practices used to configure devices from multiple vendors in a standard manner and integrate their data into host systems.
Whats in HART 7
The current generation of the HART Communication Protocol is HART 7. The HART 7 feature that has already received the most interest publicly since its release in September 2007, is WirelessHART, an evolutionary extension to the HART Protocol. According to Sean Ireland, wireless product manager for Siemens Energy and Automation, This would be rated extremely high in importance, both to us and our customers. Wired and wireless products must work together in a common network.
But HART 7 is significantly more than WirelessHART. There are significant differences and improvements between HART 5 and HART 6, the most commonly installed and used versions of HART, and HART 7and not just wireless, either.
There will be increased diagnostic capability built into the instrument, says ABBs Gareth Johnston, and the ability to report by exception, based on time or event. But in keeping with the HART Communication Foundations long-standing commitment to the users of the HART protocol, HART 7 is fully backward-compatible with all the HART versions that came before it.
The fact that WirelessHART is simply part of the HART 7 standard shows off an important characteristic. Wired HART and WirelessHART are intended to be used together seamlessly, as integral parts of a digital field sensor and control network. They operate the same way, program the same way, and are useable interchangeably, wired and wireless.
ABBs Johnston says, WirelessHART is the logical migration of the current HART technology to a wireless environment. He continues, Customers now have the capability to maintain their current legacy 4-20 mA loops and unlock the power of HART instrument data via HART wirelessly.
What do the HART users get? Johnston continues, This will enable customers to obtain real-time asset monitoring data. This data will permit them to better manage the health of their instruments, thus insuring a reliable measure of their process.
HART is a global standard and works anywhere
The HART protocol is enshrined in several IEC global standards, and the WirelessHART portion of HART 7 has been submitted for ballot as an additional IEC standard. HART has become both an IEC and de facto global standard because it is easy to use, simple to understand, flexible, and adaptable, and it can be used anywhere in the world. WirelessHART, because it uses the 2.4 GHz band, can also be used almost everywhere in the world without licensing challenges.
New Features in HART 7 for wired devices
In Table 1, you can see whats been added to HART 7: new capabilities for increased intelligence and communication throughput efficiency, with new features such as enhanced data publishing for process variables, configuration change and device diagnostic status alerts, with support for Publish by Exception and Automatic Event Notification. Another exceptionally valuable new feature: Time-Stamped Data, applies to device process variables, diagnostics status, and configuration change events. This new feature supports broader use of multivariable device capabilities in control systems and permits users to employ better forensics in the event of problems. Measurements or actions can be triggered at a specific time, and HART 7 allows synchronized operation across multiple devices.
In HART 7, Process Variable Trends can now be sent as 12 sequential time-stamped data points of the same process variable in a single packet, effectively multiplying communication throughput for the selected process variable. This makes it easy to setup a plant-wide asset management system, says Endress + Hauser vice president Victor Wolowec.

Here are a few forehand throws, which is what I use for my max D and 90% of drives off the tee in general.. Much more confidence and accuracy then my backhand.
I threw a Z surge, red FR Destroyer, and blue Star Destroyer. I also have a Nuke for distance drives (not pictured here). On a nice drive I'm at about 300' with my Forehand... Backhand is about 270' and thats a struggle.
Looking for suggestions on a better low line drive throw, basically trying for a more nose down approach. I get all the ways you are supposed to do it backhand, but forehand doesn't get talked about much when it comes to nose down.

What Does It Really Mean to "Eat Clean?"
REDBOOK confession: This began as your standard weight-loss article—some diet, some fitness, before-and-after photos. But as we dug in and spoke to dozens of women who've lost 20, 50, 100-plus pounds, we noticed a theme: Running took the weight off. They told us it was the surest, fastest, funnest way to transform their bodies. Many were intimidated by running until they realized it's accessible, efficient, and practically free (all you really need is a pair of sneakers). No wonder they got hooked, along with the 4 million American women who run 110 or more days per year. That's how our slim-down story became a beginner's guide to running that'll get you out on a street or trail. You may never look back.
Before: 268 pounds
Now: 128 pounds
"I've been on a two-and-a-half-year journey of losing 140 pounds—and running has been a huge part of it. Once I busted through the denial about my weight by stepping on a bathroom scale, I started counting calories and watching my portions. Then I took advantage of having a gym in my building and got on the treadmill: I'd walk for two minutes, then run for two minutes, until eventually I could jog for 10 minutes straight without slowing down. When the weather warmed up, I took my runs outside. Outdoors, jogging felt easier. Instead of focusing on the numbers on the treadmill, I'd just run. I signed up for a 10K race and was so nervous that I almost backed out. But I got through it. As the weight came off—I lost 30 pounds in the first four months, then continued losing—I got faster and my knees weren't as sore. I just completed the New York City half marathon, and even now, the first mile is still the hardest. But it gets easier after that, so don't give up!"

Hot flashes occur in as many as two thirds of U.S. women during menopause and are severe enough to require treatment in 20%. Although postmenopausal hormone therapy is effective in suppressing hot flashes, it is associated with increased risk for a variety of serious adverse effects. There is an urgent need for alternative treatments that are effective, safe, and easy to use. In this study, the investigators will compare two different types of behavioral relaxation therapies, paced respiration and music therapy, for treatment of menopausal hot flashes. Effects on frequency of hot flashes, other symptom and quality-of-life outcomes associated with hot flashes, and physiologic measures of sympathetic/parasympathetic activity will be examined.

Weapons in GTA San Andreas are a principal aspect of the game. Some weapons have returned from previous games, while others are additions available only in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (and later Grand Theft Auto IV). A particularly useful addition is the silenced pistol, which is perfect for stealth maneuvering (another new feature), as it attracts less attention. There are also two key improvements in weapon handling, as compared to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City: smart aiming and dual-weapon wielding (which is absent in later games in the series).
Smart Aim
Smart aim(?) involves computer-assisted auto-aiming, which occurs when pedestrian targets are within the weapon's range. The range is determined by the type of weapon and the player's proficiency with that weapon (Weapon Skill stat). Smart aiming is an improvement upon the auto-aim available in previous games where the computer will cycle between auto-aim and manual aim, depending upon the proximity of possible targets. Furthermore, when multiple targets are within range, smart aim selects the closest target first.
Another key feature of smart aim is the targeting lock that changes color as the target's health decreases. Green progresses to orange, which progresses to red, and finally black upon the target's death. The smart aim feature is available on every weapon except the Rifle, the Sniper Rifle, projectiles, or any of the heavy weapons. The Smart Aim also seems to bear a strong resemblance to the execution system in Rockstar's Manhunt where the darker the color or the target, the more gruesome the execution while in San Andreas the darker the color of the target, the less health of the target.
Weapon Skill
Your Weapon Skill increases when you shoot accurately. Getting a high Weapon Skill increases your ability with weapons. There are three levels of skill: "Poor", "Gangster", and "Hitman".
You can view your weapon skills two ways:
- Wield the weapon, then press L1, LT, or TAB. The skill level appears in the stat box in the bottom corner of the screen.
- In the menu, select Stats, then Weapons. Each weapon type displays one of three labels: "Poor", "Gangster", or "Hitman". If you are wielding a weapon, you'll also see your current skill level for that weapon.
Gangster level is reached when the meter is 20% to 50% filled.
When Gangster is reached with certain weapons, you're able to move while aiming, and your lock-on range, accuracy, rate of fire, and strafe speed increase:
- All type of Shotguns (note: you can already move while aiming/firing the sawn-off shotgun)
- Desert Eagle
- Micro-Uzi (note: you can already move while aiming/firing this weapon)
- Pistol (note: you can already move while aiming/firing this weapon)
- Silenced Pistol
- Tec-9 (note: you can already move while aiming/firing this weapon)
Hitman level is reached when the meter is 100% filled.
When Hitman is reached with certain weapons, your lock-on range, accuracy, rate of fire, and strafe speed increase further, and you're able to fire these weapons while moving:
- Combat Shotgun
- Desert Eagle
- Silenced Pistol
- Pump-Action Shotgun
Double Weapon Hitman
One new feature is the ability to duel-wield certain weapons after reaching Hitman weapon skill level. These weapons are light enough and feature reloading that is compatible with holding one in each hand. This allows the player to inflict twice the amount of damage per reload cycle. For weapons that have Double Weapon Hitman, it takes longer to reach 100% weapon skill oppsed to other weapons that can only be wielded with both hands.
When you reach Double Weapon Hitman, you can wield two of the below weapons simultaneously, and your lock-on range increases:
- Micro-Uzi
- Pistol(9 mm)
- Sawn-Off Shotgun
- Tec-9
This feature is absent in later games in the series.
Here is a list of the available weapon slots, and the weapons that can be used in those slots. Weapons in italics can be dual-wielded.
- Slot 1: Hand
- Slot 2: Melee Weapons
- Slot 3: Handguns
- Pistol
- Rate of fire: 165 RPM (poor), 200 (gangster), 300 (hitman [dual-wielded])
- Silenced Pistol
- Rate of fire: 130 (poor), 150 (gangster), 165 (hitman)
- Desert Eagle
- Rate of fire: 65 (poor), 75 (gangster), 85 (hitman)
- Pistol
- Slot 4: Shotguns
- Pump-Action Shotgun
- Rate of fire: 55 RPM
- Sawn-off Shotgun
- Rate of fire: 200 (poor & gangster), 400 (hitman [dual-wielded])
- Combat Shotgun
- Rate of fire: 150 (poor), 180 (gangster & hitman)
- Pump-Action Shotgun
- Slot 5: Submachine Guns
- Slot 6: Assault Rifles
- Slot 7: Rifles
- Sniper Rifle
- Rate of fire: 55 RPM
- Rifle
- Rate of fire: 55 RPM
- Sniper Rifle
- Slot 8: Heavy Weapons
- Flamethrower
- Rate of fire: 180
- Rocket Launcher (Bazooka)
- Rate of fire: 55
- Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher
- Rate of fire: 55
- Minigun
- Rate of fire: 1800 RPM
- Flamethrower
- Slot 9: Explosives
- Slot 10: Handheld Items
- Fire Extinguisher
- Rate of fire: 1800
- Spray Can
- Rate of fire: 1200
- Camera
- Rate of fire: 33
- Fire Extinguisher
- Slot 11: Gifts
- Slot 12: Gear
- Slot 13: Others
- The TEC-9, Flamethrower, and Minigun are the only weapons which, when fired, do not move CJ's body.
- Oddly enough, melee weapons such as the Chainsaw can be used to amass large sums of money in short periods of time, if the player correctly utilizes the weapon with no law enforcement in their vicinity. Much like the Baseball Bat in Grand Theft Auto III, where the player can kill literally thousands of citizens with no wanted level if planned correctly.
- There are three different ways to get infinite ammo for guns. First, you can buy a lot of any type of gun and eventually you will have infinite ammo for that gun. Secondly, you can use the infinite ammo cheat. Thirdly, you must acquire 100% game completion.
- The TEC-9 and Micro Uzi are the only weapons that share the same weapon skill (that is shown in stats as machine pistol).
- Weapons that can be dual wielded at Hitman level take significantly longer time to level up.
- CJ will be stripped of all his weapons twice during the main storyline. Once, after The Green Sabre, and again during The Da Nang Thang.
- It's possible to get infinite ammo by going to a shooting range in some Ammu-Nation shops. Select the firearm that you want (excluding heavy and throwable weapons) and enter the shooting range, right after the screen turns black, press the escape button a few times and wait for CJ to teleport back in the shop, you will notice (sometimes, rarely or never) the ammo of the firearm you're holding have doubled, keep doing this (with the help of luck) and when the ammo reaches until a point that the amount disappears, then it will become unlimited. Players who are looking for an alternative way to make the ammo amount on the HUD icon disappear can simply buy ammo till it reaches 9999-?? and then pick up any weapon via police that they've dropped.

A's third baseman Josh Donaldson said he thought he'd just made a normal tag. Manny Machado of the Baltimore Orioles disagreed.
No one was more surprised than Donaldson when Machado jumped up, got in his face and started yelling.
Donaldson had just tagged Machado for the final out of the third inning. The A's third baseman had the option to throw to first base, of course, but Machado was right there.
When Donaldson reached out for him, Machado tried to jump out of the way, lost his balance and fell. As he was falling, Machado took off his batting helmet and threw it.
"All I know is I just tried to tag the guy,'' Donaldson said. "I was actually walking over to pick up his helmet for him and he jumps up and starts yelling. I have nothing against the kid. I don't understand where it came from.''
After the game, reaction was broken down on party lines. The A's wondered what the fuss was about, and the Orioles seemed to think Donaldson had gone too far with his tag.
"We didn't agree on the tag,'' Machado said. "It was the right play. He made the right play, but we just didn't agree on the tag that he made on me. I just had to get up and confront him.''
When he did, both benches emptied and the A's and O's bullpen crews came running out side by side, always one of the oddities of a baseball brawl, such as they are. Things never got past the shouting phase, and it was over quickly.
"You get in the heat of the moment and things start flying,'' Machado said. "It's part of the game, and you're going to have to continue. I just didn't agree with the tag. He could have done a better job with it. But you know what? Whatever. It is what it is.''
Orioles' manager Buck Showalter took Machado's side, unapologetically, although he didn't seem to have the same strength of view that Machado had, opting just to support his player, regardless.
"There's no woof call going on there''' Showalter said. "Manny took exception to something and I'll take Manny's side of that every time. He's out there. I think sometimes you're off balance and you've been through some of the (injury) things he's been through with his knee, I can see how you might be sensitive to that.
"And I also see how their guy's trying to make sure he applies the tag, so you've got two passionate people. I know one for sure. They're competing out there and those things happen. Manny cares. And until you've walked a mile in a man's shoes, you really don't know what goes on, but it's pretty easy call for me what side of the fence I'm going to sit on.''
As for A's manager Bob Melvin, he wouldn't go so far as to say Machado was overreacting.
"It's a competitive game,'' Melvin said. "When you try and get away from a tag, he's going to try and do the best he can to tag you. So it's not like he walked into him and tagged him hard. He was trying to get away, so you have to tag the guy.''
Donaldson wound up being pitched inside by Baltimore starter Wei-Yin Chen then next time he came up. The first knocked him out of the batter's box. The second hit him. Donaldson didn't take offense.
"I understand if they want to pitch me in,'' said Donaldson, who had hit his 17th homer and driven in his 50th run earlier in the game. "It's fine.''

To assume that everyone who is poor simply lacks "personal responsibility," is also an indication that he views them as an unchangeable corporate liability. But the fact that people are poor is not simply evidence that they are lazy at their very core. The fact that people are poor is not evidence that they have ignored every opportunity that came knocking at their door.
The fact that people are poor does not reveal that they have simply been raised to never desire anything more. And I reject the notion that the 47 percent of Americans who are poor have no innate desire to learn how to successfully economically score.
They may receive food stamps to purchase their food, but that in no way negates their desire to do some good. They may live in housing that is subsidized, but that should not automatically qualify them to be politically ostracized. They may lack their own health care and have closets that are nearly bare, but I refuse to believe that the majority of our citizens look upon them with a disdainful stare.
Reasonable people will concede this is yet another appeal to the baser instincts among us. As polls show the high possibility of him losing this race, Romney has decided to bring up the perceived burden produced by those of us who wear a brown face. In other words, if America were not browning it would not be drowning.
When the census numbers were released in June it was the Eagle Forum, a staunchly conservative voice, who said "the USA is being transformed by immigrants who do not share American values and who have high rates of illiteracy, illegitimacy and gang crime, and they will vote Democrat when the Democrats promise them more food stamps."
The word "welfare" has always been used as the code word that places racial politics in the air, but it ignores the reality that it's the white number that carries the majority of our nations public assistance lumber.
From welfare to Medicare or Social Security to farm subsidy, the overwhelming faces of those suffering from a negative economic plight are white. And I already hear somebody thinking: Are not minority numbers disproportionate? But is there ever a time when any percentage is appropriate? Romney was not using his comments to remind us; they were designed to divide us.
Every responsible citizen should be concerned about the growth of our nation's entitlements, because a number of them have done absolutely nothing for our personal or political refinements.
We have an increased defense bureaucracy, and yet we have not improved our international security. We have helped to revive Wall Street, but investors are not running to create jobs on Main Street. We are discussing lowering the wealthiest taxes but showing little compassion for those on the receiving end of employment axes.
I believe we are better than that. This land, in which I was born, long ago gave up treating the less fortunate with a corporate sense of scorn. The land I have grown to love has never been comfortable with giving the least and left-out among us a shove. The land of my pride has always understood that somewhere along the journey all of us may have to be offered a ride.

The legendary George Jones has been forced to cancel two of his upcoming live dates as a result of being hospitalized on Thursday.
Jones, 81, was admitted to a Nashville-area facility after a routine checkup revealed he was running a slight fever with irregular blood pressure, according to a post on his official website.
The canceled shows are this weekend in Atlanta and Salem, Va. There is no word yet on when Jones plans to make up the dates. His next show will be April 27 in Huntsville, Ala.
Jones most recently pulled out of a performance due to health issues in November, when a respiratory infection halted plans in Minnesota. He also was hospitalized in May 2012--again, missing tour stops--for the same reason.
Jones's current tour is scheduled to be his last. He'll be playing the goodbye trek through November of this year.

Description of Incident:
A high school teacher was arrested Thursday after having used technology to solicit sex from multiple students.
Stevie Glasspool, 31, abused her position as a teacher when she used Facebook to solicit sex from at least four victims at Mavericks Charter High School in Pompano Beach. Glasspool's victims range in age from 15 to 17. She invited the young students to sleepover at her home in Boca Raton and offered them marijuana as an added incentive. The teacher's messages were overt in nature. She wrote "I don't want you to fall in love with me but I also don't want you to hit it and quit it either".
Glasspool was arrested August 22, by the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office on a Broward Sheriff's Office warrant. She was charged with soliciting a child for unlawful sexual conduct using computer services or devices and is being held on $25,000 bond.

That is the purpose of a bill already introduced in the Legislature by incoming state Sen. Jerry Hill, a Democrat whose district includes Mountain View, and his colleague, state Sen. Mark Leno of San Francisco, also a Democrat. Aptly titled the DISCLOSE Act, the bill would require all political advertising, whether on television, radio, in print or on the Web, to disclose the top funders of the ads.
Such a bill would shine light on campaigns like the one in the last election by anonymous out-of-state donors attacking Gov. Jerry Brown's sales tax proposal, Proposition 30. By simply requiring disclosure, the proposed bill would not run afoul of the Supreme Court's infamous Citizens United decision, which declared that corporations have the same First Amendment rights as ordinary citizens and cannot be restricted from spending unlimited amounts of money to influence elections.
Hill said in a statement that "this legislation is vital to protecting the integrity of our democratic process and ensuring fair elections in our state." He added, "After seeing billions of dollars flow into elections across our country after the Citizens United decision, we need the DISCLOSE Act. Now more than ever."
Trent Lange, president of the California Clean Money Campaign which backs the bill, said the legislation would replace the currently required fine-print disclosures with full-screen listings of the top three funders and links to committee websites for more information. And the bill would require that those listed as funders are actual individual, corporate or union contributors, not "sham nonprofits" or misleading committee names.
Leno said the bill is needed due to the large sums of money spent by unnamed organizations in the most recent election.
"The only way to stop this covert financing of campaigns is to require the simple and clear disclosure of the top three funders of political ads so voters can make well-informed decisions at the ballot box," he said.
This legislation would protect local voters and others around the state from the flood of money from undisclosed sources that has become so much a part of our state and national elections. It is time to put a stop to it and this legislation will help do the job.

The Obama for America campaign event on Sunday, Sept. 2 drew an estimated 13,000 attendees to hear the President's address. Scheduled on Norlin Quadrangle after an invitation from Students for Obama, the rally was coordinated and hosted by the campaign and did not constitute an endorsement of the Obama campaign by the University of Colorado or the Board of Regents.
The rally featured CU students Brittni Hernandez, Sarah Andrews and Ryan Case. Case, a senior political science major, has taken off the semester to work full time for the campaign and introduced the President. Sarah Andrews is a sophomore political science major with Students for Obama, and shared her enthusiasm for CU-Boulder and the experiences she has had on the campus. Student Body President Brittini Hernandez led the crowd in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

Class description
Since the 1960s, auteur filmmaking has predominated as the standard of comparison in the production and reception of Scandinavian cinema. SCAND 470/570-C LIT 574 is a seminar devoted to studying notions of authorship as they are relevant to understanding Scandinavian cinema, and in particular the careers of one or two Scandinavian auteurs. Students will develop an understanding of theories of film authorship, but also develop an ability to apply their theoretical understanding to the study of Scandinavian film. In spring 2010, we will focus our studies on the films of Aki Kaurismäki and Lars von Trier, the two most important and influential Scandinavian auteurs since the 1980s.
Student learning goals

RIALTO – The City Council moved forward Tuesday with plans to fill the vacant seat on the dais through an appointment process.
In a 4-0 council vote, officials decided to have interested applicants submit letters to the City Clerk's office by Friday at 5 p.m.
Interviews will take place before the Jan. 22 council meeting, when the new member of the council will be appointed.
Councilman Shawn O'Connell said his discussions with voters revealed that folks here want the council to move quickly to fill the vacancy.
"I believe we should move forward with an appointment," O'Connell said.
Officials cited the need to address the city's budget issues with a full council, in opting not to wait for a costly June election.
While the meeting agenda said a special election could cost up to $200,000, officials said a memo they received placed the cost at up to $285,000.
Councilman Ed Palmer cited the utility-users tax on the March ballot in voting to go with the appointment process instead of holding an election.
"I don't think we should pay for another election," Palmer said.
Mayor Deborah Robertson first came to the council through the appointment process in 2000.
She said the community would like closure on the process "not later but sooner."
Interested applicants can mail letters to the City Clerk's office at 290 W. Rialto Ave., Rialto, CA. 92376.
According to the city's website, the city clerk may be reached by phone at 909-820-2519; by email at firstname.lastname@example.com; by fax at 909-873-9593.
Reach Joshvia email, call him at 909-386-3894.

Designer: Stefano Giovannoni for Magis
Inspired by the paso doble, a dramatic Spanish dance based on a toreador's movements, Stefano Giovannoni created a dramatic but practical chair. The concept behind the Paso Doble Chair includes a light, flexible material suspended between rigid structures. The chair combines sturdy aluminum with strong, flexible polymer mesh as the seat and backrest, and is easy to move. Sold in sets of 2.

The Paso Doble Chair hides its strength and ability to stand up to the weather behind a sleek and sophisticated silhouette. Giovannoni, who trained as an architect, has an eye for—and interest in—structure and simplicity. He combined it with Magis Design's cutting-edge technical capability to produce this versatile and comfortable chair for your deck or patio. It looks especially nice paired with its leggier cousin, the Paso Doble Stool.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A group of Orange County sheriff's deputies have settled a wrongful death lawsuit filed against them by the family of Torey Breedlove.
In 2010, deputies fired 137 rounds at the suspected car thief, who deputies say tried to ram them with his truck. Breedlove was struck 22 times. As part of the settlement, the 10 deputies named in the lawsuit have agreed to pay Breedlove's four surviving children $450,000--$195,000 for each child. The family's attorney who filed the lawsuit will receive $255,000 for various costs and fees.
The funding comes from the Florida Sheriff Risk Management Fund, an insurance provider that covers most Florida sheriff agencies for liability claims.
The family's attorneys say the apparent lack of damage to Breedlove's truck bumper shows he didn't ram any patrol cars. But sheriff radio transmissions from that night suggest Breedlove's truck was in motion.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Orange County Sheriff's Office determined the deputies did not violate any laws or policies. A grand jury also cleared the deputies of any wrongdoing.
In April, a federal judge denied the deputies' request to dismiss the lawsuit. U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell said the evidence suggests a deputy rammed into Breedlove, "not the other way around." He added that a jury might determine "the conduct at issue here is more akin to an execution than an attempt to arrest an unarmed suspect." Three months later, the parties reached a settlement during mediation.
"Things went wrong. Mistakes were made. But no one has been the bigger person to say what that was," Breedlove's sister Tiffanye told Local 6 in 2011.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office issued a statement on Tuesday afternoon, saying "The difficult decision to resolve this complex litigation should not be construed as an admission of wrongdoing. Instead, it reveals that the Breedlove estate, the Orange County Sheriff's Office, and the deputies shared a desire to resolve their differences and move forward."
OCSO also pointed out that every day law enforcement officers make split-second life and death decisions and that any loss of life is unfortunate and traumatic to everyone involved. "The Orange County Sheriff's Office remains committed to protecting the rights of all people, reaffirms its commitment to keeping our communities safe and strives to implement best law enforcement practices," read the statement.

Clarification: Idea Exchange: Sometimes you can judge a bottle by its wrapping
The idea "Sometimes you can judge a bottle by its wrapping" (April 2008) described using colored Vetwrap (3M) to identify plastic bottles in the lab and exam rooms instead of using ink since ink smears when it gets wet. Such wrapping would indeed help identify the contents at a glance but would, by itself, be a violation of OSHA's secondary container regulations. This regulation states that any substance that is in a container other than its original one—including alcohol, peroxide, or even soap—must have a secondary container label with hazard communication information clearly listed.
Our practice has resolved the smeared secondary container label issue by printing out the required label information and laminating it. Then we tape the new label to the secondary container.
Following this regulation will keep OSHA inspectors happy, keep claims of unknown exposure to chemicals by our employees to a minimum, and, most important, keep everyone in our offices more informed and safe.Dr. Bert Platt
Rock Hill, S.C.

You are here: Kidspot Activity Corner Play dough games Play dough garden
Play dough garden
Everyone loves playing with play dough! This activity allows you to create a little play dough garden complete with anything you desire. Remember to wrap it up after use and it will keep for a long time!
Number of players:
What you need:
- a large lump of play dough
- natural found items from your garden or the park (gum nuts, twigs, leaves, flowers, bark, feathers)
- a tray or thick flat piece of cardboard to work on
With your child, collect natural items from your garden or the park.
To create the garden, help your child flatten out the lump of play dough on the tray or piece of thick cardboard (making sure it is at least 1/2cm thick).
Next encourage them to stick the natural items into the play dough base to create a unique landscape.
- You can use a rolling pin to flatten out the dough, but hands will certainly do the trick as well as creating a unique terrain.
- Your child can drive matchbox cars through the garden by allowing space for roads when creating it or use it as a home for a small animal or people toys (i.e. a zoo set or Lego).
- For something different you can use pasta or lentils to create new structures or printed patterns on the dough.

For those of you who are looking for something a bit more indulgent, take at look at the following website: http://www.liquidchocolate.co.uk. They provide chocolate fountains for rental across the UK and are as seen on the Vicar of Dibley!
Fantastic idea!
August 6, 2006
I'm quite happy with my electric chocolate melting pot bought for less than £16. It's a budget chocolate fondue soultion but I can also mould my own chocolate. Up to 4 hours rental of a Chocolate Fountains costs from £337.50. That's a lot more. How much would it cost to buy a Chocolate Fountain?

"Porcelana: The Holy Grail of Pure Criollos" (Maricel E. Presilla)
September 30, 2004
The last one I looked at buying was about 3300 US dollars for the middle of the road version. There's a presentation factor (ohh! ahh!) about a fountain vs a melting pot. I'd heard that the catalog found in the back of every airplane seat around the world now has an inexpensive fountain screw that sits inside your existing meltnig pots, and can be had for about 100 US dollars, but I keep forgetting to look.
That fountain looks gross to me . . . I mean, I first off would think this would cause the chocolate to dry out quickly, since the surface area is so huge, and second, just more surface area for the chocolate to attract undesirable stuff from the surrounding air (floating hairs, germs, etc.) . . . call me paranoid.

Jason, the fountains work very well and don't dry out at all - they do need to be kept clean though.

As long as there's heat caused via movement (friction), there shouldn't be a problem with the chocolate clumping up or hardening. Although, I often wondered about the risk of any kind of contaminants winding up in the chocolate. For example, what if someone accidentally dropped their pound cake in it? But I guess this isn't any serious threat, as long as no one takes a bath in it.
September 30, 2004
There's an auger in the center of the fountain that pushes the chocolate up, and it's shielded to protect against large object entry (or even pretty small objects, for that matter). If a pound cake was dropped in, it'd never make it to the auger in the first place - even if it did, it'd just be torn up into itty bitty pieces
August 1, 2006
Chocolate fountains are used for a variety of events, such as birthday parties, weddings, and even corporate meetings. If you can afford to rent one, then there really isn't a designated purpose for it. Usually, certain foods that aren't crumbly, such as certain fruits, marshmallows, and pretzels are used as dipping foods. Pound cake crumbs or fragile berries (blackberries, raspberries, etc.) can manage to sneak their way into the chocolate flow, so these machines require heavy maintenance in order to prevent clogging. Some machines use augers (a big screw-like device) that lift the chocolate inside the machine so that it can cascade down on the outside, while others might use a pump, the latter of which is more prone to clogging and in need of greater maintenance.
September 5, 2004
Have to agree with Jason on this
IT IS DISGUSTING , at best a gimmick
3 main reasons
- choco takes taste of air quickly
-in order to make it flow nicely, most people add a lot of oil
-really unhygienic, people's germs etc.
Pierre marcolini had one in one of his shops in Belgium. People were putting their fingers in it etc. had to cage it very quickly!
March 17, 2005
Yes, absolutely. That's a thing which subconsciously turn people of chocolate. I've seen (experienced?) a huge bubling chocolate vat, presented as a modernist sculptural piece - you could smell that cloying aroma few rooms before coming to it. Fontains equally revolting and unclean. What for? Big communal fondue idea?
August 1, 2006
I'm certainly glad to hear that I'm not the only one who's seriously put off by these things. I was at the fancy food show a while back and they were all the rage. Ick. They just look nasty to me...nothing like the real chocolate I know and love.

I thought these were wonderful labels for all sorts of things. However, when I went to insert text all I ever get is " your text here". Makes me wonder what I am doing wrong. Tried everything I could think of. Got ONE to put text in the proper place. Don't know what I did differently but couldn't do it again... I love the design and it prints so clearly.
