Guys, I'm very happy to be a "new blogger" in the Dad community. I say it in quotes because I have been blogging for a long time, I'm just new to the parenting blogs arena. So far I like it and you guys have been very welcoming.
Thanks to The Daddy Cool project for accepting me with basically no history of parenting articles, thank you #Dadchat moderators for being so welcoming and especially wanted to give a shout-out to:
@DadofDivas, @BruceSallan, @tamcdonald for tweeting at me as a brand new account without any history or leverage. I'm really trying not to use any leverage from my other twitter friends to grow @ThePapiDaddy so your help is terrific and welcome.
Any chats, any favorites, being added to lists and just being mentioned from time to time makes a huge difference in Twitter growth, so thank you guys, I greatly appreciate it.
And in the name of giving back, I wanted to share something with you guys. May I invite you now to my area of expertise?
The tutorial is specific for the Genesis framework and blogs running WordPress, but the concept and idea can be applied to any self-hosted WordPress blog. If you have another theme and you want me to teach you how to change it, just leave a comment here and I'll get to it.
So far, in about 30 minutes I found over 40 blogs using the genesis theme. And these same blogs could be making some money by doing nothing different than they already do every day or every week.
I figured I would do this for my own site and at the same time create a tutorial for you. This isn't specifically for the three dads I mentioned earlier, but for any and all dad bloggers and mom bloggers that are using WordPress and specifically a Genesis based theme.
If you don't know how to tell if you're using Genesis, let me go on a short little tangent (maybe someone built the site for you or you forgot). If you want to skip this part, If you are certain you are using Genesis then feel free and jump to the beginning of the Tutorial Overview.
Are you using Genesis?
Here's how you know if you're using The Genesis Framework.
Method 1. Compare the name in your dashboard to one of these:
In alphabetical order, these are all the current Genesis Themes available from Studiopress. These are kind of the official 63 themes and they continue to add more.
To show you how much I believe in Genesis, anytime I build a site for a client it is built with Genesis. If someone wants to build a custom site that looks exactly like they want, I still use Genesis. If they insist I need to use something other than Genesis, I usually quadruple the price. That's about how much time it saves me and how much I love it.
I color coded the themes to give you an idea. Red I use currently on at least one site. Blue I've built at least one site with. And the fully bold and underlined is my current theme here.
Agency Pro, AgentPress Pro, Ambiance Pro, Apparition, Associate, Backcountry, Balance, Beautiful Pro, Bee Crafty, Blissful, Centric Pro, Corporate, Crystal, Daily Dish Pro, Decor, Delicious, Education Pro, eleven40 Pro, Enterprise Pro, Executive Pro, Expose Pro, Fabric, Family Tree, Focus Pro, Freelance, Generate Pro, Genesis Framework, Genesis Sample, Going Green Pro, Landscape, Lexicon, Lifestyle Pro, Luscious, Magazine Pro, Manhattan, Metric, Metro Pro, Midnight, Mindstream, Minimum Pro, Mocha, Modern Portfolio Pro, News Pro, Nitrous, Outreach Pro, Parallax Pro, Pixel Happy, Platinum, Pretty Pictures, Pretty Young Thing, Prose, Quattro, Scribble, Serenity, Sixteen Nine Pro, Sleek, Social Eyes, Streamline Pro, Stretch, Tapestry, The 411 Pro, Venture, Wintersong Pro.
You could also have a custom theme or another third party child theme so if your theme doesn't match one of the ones listed, then here's another way to check.
Just login to your WordPress dashboard and look on the left hand side somewhere in between Comments and Appearance there should be a "G Genesis" menu. That means you're using Genesis as the base theme.
To find out if you are using a child theme and the exact name, click on Appearance -> Themes and then look at the active theme. It's the very first one. In my case it is the Metro Pro Theme. Yours should say Genesis or one of the ones I mentioned above.
If your theme didn't match one of the ones listed, then just google the name and see if it comes up and tells you who made it. If it's made by a company you should be able to find it easily. If a developer custom made it for you then you'll have to talk to them if you need some help with this.
The reason I explain all this is because each theme has special instructions in the Studiopress dashboard and these instructions help you customize the theme quite a bit. The Genesis folks also have a lot of "snippets" that can help you customize your website including the footer. But 1, you may not know about this and 2, you may not even know how to learn more about your own WordPress blog.
So I don't want to just show you how to do something, I want to empower you to learn as well and find your own way when I can't help you or haven't written about something. That's what that little tangent was all about.
Tutorial Overview
The tutorial is specific for the Genesis framework and blogs running WordPress, but the concept and idea can be applied to any self-hosted WordPress blog. If you have another theme and you want me to teach you how to change it, just leave a comment here and I'll get to it.
Genesis is very popular and many bloggers use it to run their blogs. And these same blogs could be making some money by doing nothing different than they already do every day or every week.
Using Genesis? You're Probably Leaving Money Behind…
I've visited your blog, and you're using Genesis. And you're losing money… every day. Let me tell you why and what to do about it.
It takes 20 minutes and it could make you from $200 to $3000 or more each year. Really, for doing nothing but this one thing and keeping up with your blog of course.
I noticed that many people leave the default Genesis footer at the bottom of their blog.
Each Genesis theme is slightly different but the footer of most themes, including all Genesis and all Genesis Child Themes has most of these elements in place:
- Copyright notice
- Name of the Child Theme
- Credit to Genesis
- Credit to WordPress
- Login/Logou links
If you notice, there are three links there that take the visitor AWAY from your website. It's great to give credit where credit is due, don't get me wrong. But this goes both ways.
This is what is happening
You've paid for the license to use Genesis and the child theme. Hopefully you have anyway, the guys at Studiopress are good so if you didn't pay for Genesis or your child theme, you should.
So if you paid for something, you aren't getting it for free so you aren't obligated to give a link back. It's nice of you but you don't have to. In fact you don't have to even if the theme is free, WordPress is governed by a lot of laws, one of them says that you can do whatever the hell you want with your installation of WordPress.
That means you can add or remove anything you desire. Anytime, for whatever reason. (unless you have some sort of 3rd party agreement, then that's another story).
Three links that invite your visitors to leave your site are not a great thing to have. Not only are you giving away "link juice" from Google to these links –more on that in another blogpost, but you're telling people to leave your site to go see how you got yours built.
Those visitors may or may not come back. We're going to make sure you have a chance to make some money before they leave.
Many people say that leaving the link in the footer is good Karma. So don't remove it if you believe this.
But what if we DON'T remove the link to Genesis or the child theme, but instead we just change it?
You see, Studiopress has an affiliate program. A great affiliate program and it's run by one of the top networks in the planet, Shareasale.
I use the Studiopress affiliate program here on Papidaddy and for my other sites and make a pretty steady flow of income. It's not huge but it's good, enough to pay for hosting, coffee and a couple of little things here and there maybe some birthday gifts.
The program is great because it is free to join, it's easy to get approved and it's run by a reliable company. Here's how you get in. Ready?
How to change this terrible situation
I'm kidding, it's not such a terrible situation but it is worth looking at it. If you spend 30 minutes doing what I say then it could save you from ever having to pay hosting out of your pocket again. I have a video explaining the whole thing here and a tutorial right here, but I briefly explain the process next.
Get the links from Studiopress (Genesis)
Go to Shareasale and join. It's free and it will take about three minutes.
Log in to Shareasale and go to the Studiopress sign up page. Then follow through to join their program. You should b approved shortly (within 24 hours).
Check your email for a notification or check back regularly until you're approved. If more than 48 hours go by then something's not right and you may want to shoot them an email or hit them up on Twitter. They are very good about responding quickly.
After you are approved for the Studiopress by Copyblogger Media program (that's the official name), you just need to go get your own affiliate link to replace the one in the footer of your blog. Actually, you should get two different links. One for Genesis itself and one for the specific Child Theme that you're using.
To get the links, it's very simple. Go into your Shareasale account, go to the Studiopress program and click on Get Links.
What I would do is find the links I want to use, copy them to a notepad, or sticky note, or Evernote, or wherever you prefer to keep little scraps and snippets to copy and paste so you can use them later.
The two links you need are: one that goes directly to the Studiopress shop page, and one that goes directly to the theme you are using on your blog.
We take the old link out, we put the new one in…
Maybe I'm a little loopy because it's late, but you can read that heading in the tune of "hokey cokey" it should work.
Next we have to edit the Genesis footer. There are a few ways of doing this so you may need to explore your options a bit. In my case I'm using a plugin.
To edit the footer I'll use a plugin called Genesis Simple Edits. You can see how easy it is to change it if you look at this before and after screenshot of the footer on my site and how I changed it.
Video: How to edit the Genesis footer of your WordPress blog
Once you've done that then you can let your visitors click on it just by finding it and if you have a lot of traffic, you can start making additional money from your blog. Maybe this is the first time you make a change so you can start monetizing your blog!
But there are a couple additional things you could do. And I know I told you that you wouldn't have to change a thing… so that part is done and it is true up to the point where you changed your footer.
If you wish, let it be and hope that some people will click on it AND then buy the theme.
That definitely works. It works for me and it works for other people that do it… that's why they do it. It's just not the most efficient way of leveraging everything I just said a few minutes ago about why change the link in the first place.
If you want to make a few more sales then do a few more things.
Make sure you mention your theme once in a while. Even if you blog about something that has nothing to do with blogging, show your readers something about your site and how you do things. Maybe they want to start a blog too and you could help them by guiding them with the information you know. In the process of helping your audience and enriching them you could make a few bucks.
Another thing you could do (now that you're on a roll). Remember momentum right? – Add a banner to the sidebar on your blog and proudly proclaim that your site is powered by Genesis. Of course, you'll be linking that with your affiliate link as well! You can use the awesome OIO Publisher plugin for that.
Happy money making!
I would love your feedback if you could leave me a comment or two with your feedback, that would be really helpful.

Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
Terms of probation
I have a friend who is currently serving part of what I believe is a suspended sentence in jail (adjudication of guilt was withheld). He is in on a child abuse charge, which he received as part of a plea bargain; however, his actual crime was impregnating a minor. He will be released in about two months time after being in for four and 1/2 motnhs total. His jailtime and probation time were ordered to run concurrently. My question is, after his release, will the terms of his probation be based on the child abuse charge or will the probation officer consider what he was initially charged for?

I am a 29 year old male. I don't know that I have a brain tumor, but I've been having worsening symptoms over several years. Mostly visual symptoms in my left eye....flashes of light, sensitivity to light, pressure behind eye, many floaters. I saw an opthamologist several years ago, and no papilledema was found. I actually has 20/20 vision aside from my other symptoms. I also have pressure in both ears, sensitivity to certain ranges of sound, general weakness, and recently I've developed a frequent, but somewhat mild headache at the top of the head just over my right ear. Sometimes this moves to above the right or left eyebrow, and sometimes behind the eyes. I'm sure I left out some of them but those are the most obvious. I had a CT scan done about 6 years ago, without contrast, and nothing remarkable was found. In hindsight, i should have done it with contrast, but I didn't want radioactive die in my veins too.
Anyway.... I've decided I need an MRI to rule out anything serious, but my GP can only refer a CT scan. I had enough radiation from the last one. I have no insurance, so I would like to go directly to the most affordable doctor that would be willing to refer me. If a neuro-opthamologist could do it, that would probably be the best route, as they can check for papilledema beforehand.

You do not have brain tumor for sure. If you did, you'd already be toast by now. It's probably a nerve problem, I suggest doing MRI of the SPINE rather than the actual head.

My oldest son was disappointed when I told his younger brother I'd make pancakes tomorrow instead of today. So I said, " you can make them. Go find the cookbook, look up pancakes and follow the recipe." I knew it wouldn't be quite that simple but he really tried (and did a great job!). First off there was the "where's the cookbook?" question, since as mother, I know where EVERYTHING is at ALL times- right?! He then opened to the table of contents and asked me if it would be under eggs since there are eggs in pancakes. I asked him "where else can we look up things in a non- fiction book?" "The index!" We flipped the book over and he finally found pancakes, opened to the right page and started to read. I told him it would probably work best if he got all the ingredients and measurements out first. He had no problem with 1/2 and 1/3 but 3/4 threw him. He asked if he would use two 1/3 cup measures. So I said well we'd have to add 1/3 plus 1/3. I knew he'd never added fractions before so I prompted him "what's 1 +1?" He knew that was 2 so I said right, but in this case it would be 2/3. It took him a while but he finally understood that he would need 3 1/4 measures to equal 3/4. He set about making the whole breakfast, reading the recipe and doing the math for all the measurements. I also noticed instead of saying "one and a half" like he usually does he was saying "one half" and learning the proper terminology too. I was thrilled that he was doing math, kitchen science and reading at 7:30 in the morning without complaining, grumbling, or realizing it!During and after breakfast we read two more chapters in Hugo and Bunnicula. I really wanted to read two more chapters in our Magic Treehouse book too but we just ran out of time. At least we arrived at our gym day on- time and had so much fun! Most days the mornings just fly right by.
We met a group of homeschooling families at a local community center to use their gym for a fun gym day. It cost only $3 per family to play for an hour. We packed our basketball, soccer ball, and some other assorted athletic equipment and headed out. There were three other families there and Ian spent most of the hour working on dribbling his basketball and shooting. We play around the world, horse, and he set up an obstacle course to use with the basketball. Evan and Alec played tag and soccer together. Alec and I used milk jugs with the ends cut off as cup to catch some small balls. It's super easy and fun. We just cut off the bottom 1/2 inch of the milk jug and put duct tape around the ends (so we wouldn't get cut/ scratched by the plastic edges). It would look even better with decorative duct tape but we used up what we had on- hand. I've seen some real cute ones made up on- line and copied the idea. We played pass using these and made a game out of it. I played soccer with Evan and we worked on passing and trapping the ball. The boys interacted really well with the other kids and played hide and seek, tag and just chased each other around. It was wonderful and we can't wait to go back next month.
|Running so fast, they're just blurs!
|Ian stops to play with some of the younger kids; it's so sweet to see him interact soothingly and sweetly!
|Let's practice batting!
|Our milk jug catchers!
On the way home from gym day, the boys asked if we could go visit their great- grandmother. We called and she was thrilled to have the company for the day. On the way to her house we stopped to drop off a box of new clothes, toys and baby formula at our local church. I love including the boys in things like this so they understand the importance of helping those less fortunate; especially at this time of the year. Once we got to my grandmother's she asked the boys if they'd like to go out to lunch, so we headed to our local Mc Donald's and the boys spent the afternoon playing on the play scape and we all played a few rounds of air hockey.
My grandfather is in a nursing home and my grandmother likes us all to visit occasionally. She offered to take them shopping for a little something if they behaved while we visited and, honestly, they were the best they had been all day! We visited for a while and we played a game of Chinese Checkers. Then they went to the store and each picked out a little toy. By this time it was dinnertime!

Digitimes Research: Entry-level smartphone may help Amazon extend e-commerce reach
Kristina Shih and Luke Lin, DIGITIMES Research, Taipei [Thursday 21 August 2014]
Amazon released its mid-range to high-end Fire Phone in late-July 2014, looking to attract consumers to shop through Amazon's e-commerce platform with the phone's built-in Firefly technology, according to Digitimes Research.
Since the main battlefield for online and e-commerce businesses in emerging markets is likely to shift to smartphones in the next few years, Amazon can capitalize with the launch of entry-level Fire Phones or release of a Firefly application for other handsets to expand its online shopping business in emerging markets, according to Digitimes Research.
Amazon had been in talks with Taiwan-based handset ODMs for the production of entry-level Fire Phones prior to the release of the current Fire Phone.

Food For Thought
Since the foundation by Ole M. Hansen in 2003, BPI has undergone a tremendous development. The company started as a pure bulk trading business, mainly focusing on poultry, and with customers primarily located in Europe.
However, within a short period of time, BPI broadened its scope considerably. Today, BPI is a key player in the international meat business, with activities in a variety of niches all across the globe.
We trade mainly beef, pork, veal, lamb and poultry from leading suppliers worldwide - to customers worldwide.
High Quality - Competitive Prices
To us, the highest quality at the most competitive prices is not limited to the product. Rather, it is a core principle all through the production chain; from the initial sale to final distribution at your door. We want to make sure you get exactly what you ordered - exactly when you need it.
Competence, Trust, Commitment and Service
Four words that sum up the core values of BPI. Our employees have years of experience in the international industry and continuously monitor and analyze the market for special cuts and bargains for the benefit of our esteemed partners and customers.
Whether you buy small or large quantities, for production, catering or retail, your order is of utmost importance to us.
Environmental Responsibility
At BPI, we believe that competitive prices and on-time delivery do not imply ethical compromises. It is very important for us, that our suppliers have a company policy concerning environmental safety and animal welfare.
Therefore, we guarantee that all our suppliers take an active step towards creating the best conditions for their animals.

Shashi Tharoor attacks media, calls it 'self-appointed liars'
Thiruvananthapuram: Former union minister and Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has again courted controversy, this time by accusing the media of being 'self-appointed liars and scums'.
However, as his comments Wednesday kicked up a furore, he sought to clarify that he had attacked "only those who put exploitation of tragedy above justice".
"I'll speak to the police, not to self-appointed liars and scum," he remarked while responding to a mediaperson's querry here.
The lawmaker was asked why his aides were allegedly not speaking the truth in the case relating to the mysterious death of his wife Sunanda Pushkar, in the wake of a Delhi court allowing the police Wednesday to conduct a lie-detector test on three 'suspects' in the case.
"It suits gutter journalists 2 pretend I attacked their entire fraternity. I attacked only those who put exploitation of tragedy above justice," the former Union minister tweeted Wednesday morning.
In another tweet, Tharoor said: "Let's be clear: only 1 channel ran a witch-hunt yesterday all evening, lied & distorted facts, aired innuendo, ran a survey on purported guilt."

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - Clutch hits and timely defense.
The Little Leaguers from Columbus sure are well-schooled in some of baseball's fundamentals.
Brady Hamilton drove in two runs, J.T. Phillips struck out eight and Josh Lester made a nice grab of a line drive to thwart a rally, helping Columbus defeat Beaverton, Ore., 7-3 on Saturday to win the U.S. title and advance to the championship game of the Little League World Series.
Columbus is the first team from Georgia to reach the final since East Marietta in 1983. That team won the World Series.
Hamilton broke a 3-3 tie by flaring a pitch from starter Jace Fry just out of the shortstop's reach to score Phillips from second in the fifth inning. Columbus got some breathing room with three runs in the sixth.
Cody Walker tracked a popup in foul territory and stumbled to the ground on his back just after catching it for the final out. Jubilant teammates started piling on top of him as parents cheered and snapped pictures.
"I said after the semifinals that everything is gravy," Columbus manager Randy Morris said. "We were loose before the game, and I think that really helps us."
Columbus sealed it in the sixth.
With a runner on third with one out, Fry intentionally walked slugger Kyle Carter to get to Lester. Carter had hit 52 homers coming into the tournament, and fearful teams have often given him a free pass, even with no one on base.
Lester drove in five runs his last game after intentional walks, and he came through again Saturday, lining a single to center that sparked the three-run sixth.

Zoe Muth & The Lost High Rollers (Signature Sounds) with special guests The Silver Threads (CA) and Miss Lonely Hearts
Starry Plough
3101 Shattuck Avenue
Berkeley, CA, 94705
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM (event ends at 11:59 PM)
This event is 21 and over
Watch & Listen
Whether nailing an upbeat honky-tonk tune or a slow, sad story-song, Zoe Muth's music is so honest and familiar, you'll wonder why you haven't heard it yet. Growing up in the hometown of Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain, Muth was raised on old school rock before discovering the Anthology of American Folk Music in high school. Later, she naturally gravitated toward that songwriting style and before long she'd amassed a remarkably tight backing band, plucked a name for them from Townes Van Zandt's "No Lonesome Tune," and decided to make a record. That self-titled debut album won attention not only from her hometown of Seattle (tastemaker blog Sound on the Sound called her "without doubt, one of the finest songwriters in Seattle") it also earned praise from the worldwide press. Her second album, Starlight Hotel, released in April and further cements her Americana cred.
The Silver Threads hail out of San Francisco's bay area. Inspired by greats such as Lowell George, The Rolling Stones, Warren Zevon and Bob Dylan, their music tells stories about life, living and everything in between.
Miss Lonely Hearts, started in the central valley of CA, is a band that lays down hard driving Honky Tonk/Rock & Roll. Their sound was created out of a deep authentic understanding and appreciation of the roots country music that evolved in this nation. Their lead singer/songwriter was introduced to traditional country at a very young age and perfected his gut bucket vocal stylings singing George Jones and Hank Sr. tunes on the streets for change. At the same time their percussionist was living in New Orleans learning to play on a homemade suitcase drumkit. Their Upright bassist is the energy core of the band and gets every man in the crowd dancing and every girl in the crowd swooning. Every song is a dark, drunken, broken hearted hymn set to an unavoidably danceable tempo and intended to drive a crowd to a near fever pitch.

We Think Andy Murray Should Also Win a Gold Medal in Feminism
A BBC reporter congratulated Andy Murray on being the first tennis player to win two Olympic gold medals — but Murray wasn't having it.
Instead, Murray replied, "Well, to defend the singles title, I think Venus and Serena won about four each."
Talk about a comeback!
Murray was definitely right as Venus and Serena Williamswon individual gold medals in 2000 and 2012, as well as three doubles titles together in Sydney, Beijing, and London.
Take a look at the interview below.
This isn't the first time Murray has spoken out about gender bias in tennis.
About year ago he said, "Have I become a feminist? Well, if being a feminist is about fighting so that a woman is treated like a man then, yes, I suppose I have."
Should Murray be our next #MAKERSMen? We think so!

New York Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan is concerned that state senators might "re-invent the very definition" of marriage—society's basic institution—as five more lawmakers pledged to support a same-sex "marriage" bill.
"Not every desire, urge, want, or chic cause is automatically a 'right,'" the archbishop explained in his June 14 blog post titled "The True Meaning of Marriage." True freedom, he said, is not "the license to do whatever we want, but the liberty to do what we ought."
Later that day, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo presented the "Marriage Equality Act" to the state legislature after a key Republican senator voiced support for it. Four Democrats who previously voted against same-sex "marriage" said on June 13 that they would support the bill.
Governor Cuomo's administration is reportedly pursuing a strategy of gradually pressuring lawmakers to give their support.
"We're in a very precarious situation," New York Catholic Conference director Dennis Poust told CNA on June 15. According to a New York Times tally, the law needs only one more committed vote to ensure its passage.
"We are doing everything we can to convince the remaining 31 senators who have not said that they are going to vote 'yes' that this bill is a terrible mistake, and we have not given up," Poust explained. "There is still hope, although certainly it is hanging by a thread."
If the bill does pass, "there is very little that can be done," he said, because New York does not have a system of initiatives and referendums like California and some other states do.
New York's legislature rejected a previous proposal to redefine marriage in 2009, by a vote of 38-24.
The state's large population makes its decision on the marriage question especially important. New York is home to 19 million people, more than the combined populations of the five states – Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont – that already permit homosexual "marriage" along with the District of Columbia.
Archbishop Dolan warned that the proposal would exert government control over an institution more fundamental than the state itself – a prospect that he compared to the communist regimes of China and North Korea.
"In those countries, government presumes daily to 'redefine' rights, relationships, values, and natural law," he observed. "There, communiqués from the government can dictate the size of families, who lives and who dies, and what the very definition of 'family' and 'marriage' means."
The bill under consideration in New York specifies that no religious institutions will be forced to honor or facilitate homosexual "weddings." However, it will eliminate all gender-specific language regarding the rights and responsibilities of individuals and couples.
Archbishop Dolan also responded in his blog post to those who say the Church discriminates against homosexuals. He pointed out that the Church seeks, rather, to maintain the truth about human nature, sexuality, and the family.
"This is not about denying rights," he said. "It is about upholding a truth about the human condition. Marriage is not simply a mechanism for delivering benefits. It is the union of a man and a woman in a loving, permanent, life-giving union to pro-create children."
"Please don't vote to change that. If you do, you are claiming the power to change what is not into what is, simply because you say so. This is false, it is wrong, and it defies logic and common sense."

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Dennis Norfleet always has been Michigan's shiftiest, fastest freshman on the field. This movement, though, had little to do with his speed.
Norfleet has made the move from offense to defense, settling in the last two weeks at cornerback instead of running back, where he saw limited action. It is a move the coaches have contemplated for a while, but they didn't make the switch until after the regular season concluded.
"We talked about it for a while," coach Brady Hoke said. "Just to get another good athlete on the field."
It is an athleticism Norfleet showed a multitude of times this season returning kickoffs, which is a role he will still play. It is there where the 5-foot-7 freshman made the most impact, gaining 795 yards and coming within one cut of breaking long returns a handful of times this season. He also showed promise returning punts, averaging 26.5 yards in his two punt returns.
As for his switch, Hoke said the move wasn't made due to depth at either spot, although Michigan now has two healthy, scholarship running backs in sophomore Thomas Rawls and redshirt freshman Justice Hayes. The Wolverines have a little more depth at cornerback with senior J.T. Floyd, junior Courtney Avery, sophomores Raymon Taylor and Delonte Hollowell and freshman Terry Richardson.
Despite having more corner depth, it is a move the coaches felt they wanted to make. Norfleet played corner as a sophomore and junior in high school, Hoke said, citing his ball skills and speed as advantages he could have at the position.
Norfleet's height at corner also could be a concern, especially against taller receivers, but Hoke didn't seem too bothered by it.
"One guy I always look to is [Antoine] Winfield, who played at Ohio [State] and now plays with Minnesota," Hoke said. "He's not very big, and he's pretty good. Still playing."
Both Norfleet and Hoke appear to hope this move will give the freshman more of a chance to play beyond being a returner.
NOTE: Michigan receiver Jerald Robinson, who had five catches for 69 yards this season, has left the team. Hoke did not give an explanation for Robinson's departure.

Paralympic swimming gold medallist Josef Craig made a splash in Newcastle city centre as he helped launch a new appeal to build a hydrotherapy pool for disabled children.
If anyone knows how much swimming can benefit disabled kids, it is Josef. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child, the now 17-year-old went on to win gold in the 400m freestyle S7 event at London 2012, before claiming two further golds and a silver at the World Championships in Montreal the following year.
Now, he is backing The Splash - the latest appeal from the Percy Hedley Foundation, aiming to raise £1m to build a pool at their upper school.
Charity employees, volunteers and pupils all joined the South Shields swimming ace at Grey's Monument to kick off the fundraising process and raise awareness.
"Swimming definitely helped me when I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. I don't know how severe my disabilities would have got without it," said Josef.
"I think it's essential if you want to be able to control what's happening to your body. Hydrotherapy pools give these kids the chance to familiarise themselves with the water, get stronger and have fun."
Hydrotherapy pools are hotter than regular swimming pools - they are heated to around 34 degrees, and this, combined with the added buoyancy, provides huge benefits for disabled people.
The pool helps muscles relax, relieves pressure on joints, helps remove pain and allows people to build up strength in their limbs.
Percy Hedley's current hydrotherapy pool at the lower school is run down and no longer fit for use, and they are hoping this year-long appeal can get them a state-of-the-art pool, with 24 residential units alongside for the pupils and for respite.
Carol Harder, chief executive of the foundation, said: "This hydrotherapy pool is very important because a lot of our children have very sore and painful limbs and the warm water gives them freedom to move about and exercise. They're obviously very restricted when they're in their wheelchairs."
Sarah Turner is the finance director at the foundation, and thinks the pool can give children the opportunity to excel in sport, just like Josef has.
"They find it difficult to access sport normally, but this pool would give them the opportunity to get into it," she said. "It gives them a chance."

Green Laser to Activate dogfight sensors.
I put to my Easystar a Green Laser 50mW.
The objetive is to test the Laser in flight to use it at Dog Fight Combat in a future.
Exist in the toys store http://www.lasershots.com/systemt/tpack.gif laser sensors tha we can use to detect the shots. Those sensors habe a beepers conected to know when the laser do fire.
This is my first test.
The laser is conected to the engine battery by a "anyvolt" mini DC-DC to get 4.3 Volts.
The consume is 300mA. To turn on/off use a RC rele connected to a free channel.
I put a beeper to listen the when the laser is ON
Flight test: The laser is amazingly visible with the FPV camera in the night.
The laser is more visible if the laser is parallel with the observer. ( see pic)
The laser is not very visible perpendicular to the observer. ( see pic)
Is very Easy do marksmanship at night flights To do markiship at the day,, is nessesary ajust the laser previusly.
The Easystar seems a UFO with the light and the laser shooting anywhere
I leave some pictures here. I lost the video record becouse I dindt close my DVD disc when I landed
Note: The direct shot to the eyes can hurt irreversibly, so avoid fire over populated areas.
Note2: See your local laser regulations. I dont live in USA
Edited 10 August 2009
As far as I know, I am the first to try this device in flight. So, as any beginning, is necessary spend time and $ to get the results that you find.
I only want share the information and the experience that I obtained with this test with you:
1) If you are thinking in amazing laser lights show, forget it. The laser is only visible if you are in parallel position with the beam, otherwise you do not see anything.
2) The beam divergence dissipates the energy, so when you flight over 100 mts altitude, you get a beam diameter big ( 30 - 40 cm in my test ). The energy was less than a laser discoteque.
3) The green laser is very visible from the onboard camera.
The next steps is test the lasers sensors and to know which is the lowest power to activate them at a distance of at least 50 meters.
OT: I want to clarify something wrong was said in this thread:
All the Laser has an Infrared beam. All. If you see in youtube, etc green laser burning things, that is becouse of the infrared component is inst filtered.
So, is false that the infrared laser are harmless. The infrared component is the most dangerous becouse it can burn. So, the good quality lasers pointer must have a good infrared filter.
The green laser born from a powerfull infrared laser that passes through a glass and this glass becomes the 20 % of the infrared beam in a green laser. The rest of the infrared laser must be filtered. Some low quality laser pointers hasnt a good filter so, those lasers can burn things.
The infrared beam that isnt filtered dissipates with more angle than visible green beam. So, in few meters the infrared energy hasn the energy to burn.
Of course,, the final energy depends of the power of the laser but this is the basic concept.
So, aboid high energy Infrared lasers becouse they can burn and you cant see it to detect it.
In USA are permitted only laser with -5mW.
Well,, I wanted share my test and my information and I think that we will find the most safe and useful laser to activate the laser sensors ito do a safe dogfight modality.
That was only a test done in a secure and controlled conditions.
Best Regards.
Note: I will edit the firts post whith this information.

I'm not trying to be the safety police but at night your iris is most open. This green laser is not really in a controlled position. 'nuff said.
I cannot see any benefit over a high output LED. If you really want to go crazy you could rig a xenon strobe or a discharge lamp with a step up power supply.
Like all RC activities, is nescesary responsibility of course and I am agree.
Last edited by sergio00; Aug 08, 2009 at 08:59 PM.
I only fly over desert areas or country areas. Never over HOuses or roads like your videos
I am responsible and only flight over desert or countrys. Alwais over federative field. Nobody in Kms. Nor people,, nor cows.
So,, there i can use my green laser responsibly. Nore people,, nor cows,, nor dogs,,.
I will continue my tests there to find the most effective and secure FPV dogfight systems
Best regards

go for it you can fire rockets and drop bombs from your easystar and fly it 30 miles away if you are in a safe place and think its safe sergio, I guess you didnt get what I was trying to say.
a 50mw green laser will blind someone in an instant so having it onboard a rc plane can be really hazardous if you are near any road or airport or w/e if you live in the middle of nowhere go for it
I'm not giving lessons to anyone, and IMO flying with a green laser onboard poses a bigger hazard than my easystar flying above my town lol
I think your starting to tread in dangerous waters, by mounting that High output laser on a FPV/UAV.
We're already under investigation by who knows how many parranoid groups ready to lobby Washington for complete clamp down on this hobby, don't * * it up for the rest of us.
I'm all for in flight air to air combat, but lasers should not be involved. if you want you can use Infared laser diodes, they are picked up easily by our cameras, or try building BB gun or airsoft guns for combat purpose.
Just use you brain on this, you have to realize America is full of parranoid people just looking for someone to attack, so they can feel better about National security, we don't need this right now.
Sergio is not in America so IMO he can do whatever he wants Let's not get into paranoia once again... Washington watching us blah blah lol I just wanted to warn people about green lasers because they are really cool but really bad at blinding people for a few minutes something you dont want happening to you when you are driving a car or flying a plane, I have a 50mw and 100mw green laser nice for pointing at the stars but I wouldnt fit one of them on my easystar
I have a mental image of sergio flying with a friend "dog fighting" in a remote area... I dont think with the video goggles and the remoteness of what he is doing, he has a chance to harm anyone with a 50mW laser... although potentially dangerous, I would rate it's risk factor somewhere near... oh lets say, flying a remote control plane in first person view... I mean come on, if a LiPo goes bad in one of these, its basically a guided missle.. so I say, lets see some shots of this in action sergio! I think it'll look cool...
P.S. On a plane, this thing wouldn't be focused enough on a single position to do any real damage ever... even to a human eye... but yes, I know, it has the POTENTIAL to blind someone if even flashed for 1/1000th of a second... then again, 1amp is more than enough to kill someone too... but they use many more in the electric chair, cause chances are, 1 amp is gonna make you say, "Ow, stop pricking me..."
the concern is not damage to the human eye, its blinding someone driving his car or something like that and causing an accident.
several pilots have been blinded by idiots using green lasers on airliners from several miles away on the ground when the planes are on final, the problem is not the potential damage to the pilots' eyes its the potential damage caused by a plane with 2 blind pilots at the wheel lol
lol yea we definitely dont want to be at war with the birds
Again, it's on a model RC Airplane, I don't think that it's anymore dangerous to Driver/Pilots than the act of FPV Piloting itself, think about it, how long could you hold a green light on one spot if you TRIED to in an RC plane?... let alone if you are looping and twirling about trying to dogfight... again, the most dangerous part of this is the fact that he is dogfighting and most likely not paying attention to his surroundings (the drawback to FPV), I see a dented cardoor or something along those lines when him and his buddy are zipping around overhead trying to out maneuver eachother...
Also, I hardly think the 10-20$ green laser he is mounting on there has the ability to hold its focal point past 50 meters... unless he is buying a $1000 laser...
^^^ Means it wont blind anyone, just annoy them in the SLIM chance it shines in someones eyes

Hezbollah 'drags Lebanon into war'
One of Lebanon's most powerful Sunni politicians has accused the leader of the Shiite militant group Hezbollah of dragging the country further into neighbouring Syria's civil war.
Former prime minister Saad Hariri's comments come two days after a deadly car bombing struck a Hezbollah neighbourhood south of Beirut. Many people in Lebanon viewed the blast as retaliation for Hezbollah's armed support for Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime.
In a speech on Thursday, Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah blamed Sunni extremists for the bombing and defiantly said he was prepared to double the number of his fighters in Syria if the bombing turns out to be linked to his group's intervention there.
Mr Hariri responded, saying Mr Nasrallah's address "did not break the cycle of tension" in the country but rather "drags Lebanon further into the Syrian fire, and it is a pity to squander the blood of Lebanese in such a way".
In comments posted on his Twitter account and confirmed by his office, Mr Hariri also said that Thursday's bombing, which killed nearly two dozen people in the Hezbollah stronghold of Rweiss, was "surely an ugly crime, but Hezbollah's war in Syria is a crime as well".
Sectarian tensions have worsened dramatically in Lebanon since Hezbollah openly declared it was fighting alongside Mr Assad's troops to help crush a rebellion by Syria's Sunni majority. Lebanese Sunnis support the rebels fighting to topple Mr Assad, who is a member of a Shiite offshoot sect.
Lebanon appears increasingly fragile in the face of the civil war raging next door. In the more than two years since it began, Syria's conflict has spilled over into Lebanon on multiple occasions. Artillery fire and missiles have struck Lebanese border villages, while clashes between Lebanese factions that support opposite sides have left dozens dead.
Now, Beirut's southern suburbs are the scene of car bombings. The powerful explosion that hit the Hezbollah stronghold of Rweiss on Thursday killed at least 22 people.
It was the second in just over a month to strike one of the Shiite group's bastions of support, and the deadliest in decades.
Syrian rebels have threatened to retaliate against Hezbollah for intervening on behalf of Assad. Against that backdrop, Thursday's attack raises the worrying spectre of Lebanon being dragged further into the Syrian civil war.

Roman Baths needs £10,000 to reach target to buy rare coin hoard
Staff at the Roman Baths in Bath have said they are close to reaching their target of £60,000 towards buying one of the largest hoards of silver Roman coins.
They now have to raise a further £10,000 in the next three months.
The coins were found in the city in 2007, and the team at the baths want to acquire them as the centrepiece of a new exhibition.

Volleyball: Stewartville ousts Cannon Falls from 1AA-West playoffs
ROCHESTER - In so many ways, taking on No. 3-ranked Stewartville is a tall task for any team.
There's a starting lineup that stands at an average of 5-foot-10. There is Hall of Fame head coach John Dzubay. There are twin sisters Hannah and Paige Tapp, who are both headed to the University of Minnesota to play volleyball.
After playing tough with the Tigers earlier this year, the Cannon Falls Bombers believed that they could go toe-to-toe with Stewartville in the Section 1AA-West semifinals. But by the end of Saturday's match, the Tigers were the ones that were standing tall, knocking the Bombers out of the playoffs with a 25-16, 25-22, 25-15 victory at the Mayo Civic Center.
"The girls played well," Cannon Falls head coach Melissa Huseth said after the loss. "I told them in the locker room that they're all players of the game. They're a team that worked so well with each other and they're always so happy for each other."
After its first meeting with Cannon Falls, Dzubay said his players knew they were in for a tough, defensive-minded Bombers team.
"They're a good, young team, and their defense was really good," Dzubay said. "They were tough that first time around."
After the Bombers tied the first set at 7, the Tigers rattled off seven points to go up 14-7. In their previous encounter, Hannah Tapp missed the contest due to injury. In the sub-section semifinals Saturday, Paige and Hannah Tapp dominated at the net, finishing with 31 combined kills.
"With those two, their wingspan is like half the net," Huseth said. "There's so much ground to cover on the block."
Aided by kills from Hailey Huseth, Carly Broze and MaKenzie Franklin, the Bombers jumped out to a 7-3 lead in the second set. Using its size, Stewartville climbed back to take the lead at 13-12. Cannon Falls would tie the match back up at 14-14, before the Tigers took the lead for good with a kill by Hannah Tapp.
"In the first set, we passed the ball really well, but then we became predictable," Dzubay said. "Late in (the second set), we were able to find some consistency."
Like their first match against Stewartville, the Bombers were down after missing out on their opportunity to tie the match.
"We needed them to feel out of control, and we could have done that if we had won that set," Melissa Huseth said. "Who knows what could have happened if we took that game."
With a 2-0 lead, Stewartville took firm control of the third set, scoring four of the first five points.
The Tigers never trailed in the set on the way to securing a berth in the sub-section finals against No. 1 seed Kasson-Mantorville on Thursday.
"We played pretty well," Dzubay said, "but we'll need to play even better next time against Kasson."
Broze led Cannon Falls' attack with nine kills, while Lydia Franken and Hailey Huseth each finished with 10 set assists. Libero Becca Vandenheuvel tallied 21 digs as the Bombers close the year out at 23-6 overall.

What makes a good model?
Andrea takes a stab at stating it.
- As simple as possible, and complete (Better not bigger, spanning the semantic space)
- Consistent
- Extensible and reusable (Designed to evolve and be used beyond original purposes)
- Design tradeoffs well-understood and documented
- Normalized (To a point)
- Incorporating stable and well-defined concepts and semantics – Usually taken from other standards and models
- Designed and encoded for interoperability and sharing of semantics – But not limited by a specific encoding (such as XML Schema or database limitiations)

Is it possible that the fathom update could be a cab file? so far I have this -
URL: /swdata/WEBSW/LGVS750/AVRZDB/VS750ZV5_06/VS750ZV5_06.SV5_06.P58006.R5.cab
link here - http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata....P58006.R5.cab
Is this whats needed? Not trying to push for an answer, just updating and asking...
Windows explorer opened it when others couldn't
At 130 megs it probably is what we're after, just in a new (to me at least) format. Did you try flashing it?
These are the contents of the cab file
the wdh/wdb are not extensions I'm familiar with and I'd be more than a bit surprised if it was a ms works database. I'll try and take a closer look at the file later today if nobody else has by then.
Edit: Apparently that's the same packaging the vs740 came in. From what I could find, people hadn't been able to find tools to successfully unpack the wdb.
Going through the flashing process should leave a .bin file in the usual lgmobileax location, not clear whether that's something we can unpack with existing tools either.

The information systems sector continues to evolve and diversify. The firm's intervention in this sector has grown during recent years.
Besides providing traditional legal assistance to communication companies (publications, television, Internet) or to companies whose activities are mainly focused on the provision of services or on the development of computer tools, the firm has often been called upon to provide legal assistance in such areas as personal data protection and e-commerce. Moreover, we are also responding to growing requests from the new players in the technological and information systems market.
This expansion is due to the investment effort and incentives granted by the Portuguese State to new technologies, a process in which we are participating, as a consultant and by providing assistance in the elaboration of legal and regulatory texts.

'Urbanism Is the Most Cost-Effective Solution to Climate Change,' says Calthorpe
Calthorpe doesn't reject technological fixes (he believes renewable energy sources will get cheaper and more ubiquitous) but he sees urbanism as a more effective means of reducing our individual energy use than switching to electric cars:
"A chief virtue of urbanism, he avers, is that it 'naturally tends toward a 'small is beautiful' philosophy.' 'Compact development does mean smaller yards, fewer cars, and less private space for some. On the other hand, it can dramatically reduce everyday costs and leave more time for family and community.'"

text: I ordered my A3 Saloon on the 28th June and although the order was not placed with Audi until 2nd July and my estimated delivery was to be the end of September but more likley early October. I contacted the dealer this morning to find out if they had a build week confirmed yet from Audi and almost fell off my chair when they said the car is at the Port of Tyne and will be picked up in the next 2 days for delivery to them. I could put it on the road for 1st August but will wait for the 63 Reg even though I have a private plate. I was told that the factory shut down for 3 weeks summer holidays but I believe all the A3 saloons are produced in a new factory in Hungary and so maybe they do not have a backlog of orders which are making the wait for some Sportbacks a lot longer.

The Wilde Women
The Wilde Women
Great southern fiction, particularly by women, is rooted first and foremost in a sense of place that plays itself out in the vignettes of daily life, families, tradition and attachment to a community.
When I was first contacted about reviewing THE WILDE WOMEN, Paula Wall's latest novel, I read the description provided that referred to two sisters with "hair black as midnight and eyes blazing blue" and "claws sharpened like stainless steel." Frankly, I thought I was being asked to review some sort of romantic potboiler. I know the southern literary tradition embraces the metaphor, but this seemed altogether over the top. However, I was between books at the time and thought Why not?
Frankly, it's been quite some time since I've been so pleasantly surprised by a novel.
THE WILDE WOMEN tells the story of Pearl and Kat Wilde, two sisters from Five Points, Tennessee. Shortly before she's due to marry Bourne Cavanagh, the heir to a Tennessee whiskey fortune, Pearl catches her fiancée in flagrante delicto with her sister Kat (wearing her favorite pair of shoes, no less) and proceeds to catch the first train out of town. She sends hate mail (via exotic postcards from all over the globe) to Kat every month, but finally, after five long years, she returns home a changed woman with plans to make her sister repent.
Dripping in taste as well as money, Pearl casts a Garbo-esque figure over Five Points with her air of mystery, until she lets the town know that she plans to purchase and refurbish an old falling-apart mansion and turn it into a high-class House of Ill Repute --- a move guaranteed to set Five Points on its collective ear.
Meanwhile, Kat has been living on the Wilde homestead and working at the shirt factory in town, where she has caught the eye of Mason Hughes, playboy son of the wealthy Hughes family who owns the factory and apparently much of Five Points. But Kat is not about to be just another notch on Hughes's bedpost. She sets out to let him know that if he thinks he has her all figured out, he's probably wrong.
True to her southern fiction roots, Wall knows how to neatly turn a phrase, and the novel is full of rich metaphors you'd expect in a book of this type. The expressive language is sure to engage readers who are fans of this style. Wall's background as a humorist shines through in the sharp wit of her writing. But, although the Wilde sisters are an interesting pair, a reader quickly learns that Five Points is the real focal point of this novel.
The small town set adrift in the years after the Depression is perfectly sketched, down to the hardware store where all the down-and-out men of the town pass the time with RC Cola and gossip. It is full of vignettes about the different townspeople and their relationships --- asexual Maysie McCowan and her son Eddie, the dim bulb with the movie-star looks; overworked Luella and her lazy husband, Buck; Joy Lester, her husband Roy and her beloved Rhode Island Red chickens; and many more.
Rather than distracting from the story, these subplots and vignettes enrich the novel. I admit that, at times, I did find myself more interested in some of the side plotlines than in what was going on with Pearl and Kat, but I think this is part of the book's charm. Five Points is the hero, and all of the characters --- including Kat and Pearl --- are very much a product of their time and their hometown. In the guise of a novel about sisters who are romantic rivals, Wall has gifted us with a whole town full of unforgettable characters.
I hope we'll have the chance to hear more from the folks of Five Points, Tennessee, even if Pearl and Kat have moved on to whatever else awaits them. Because Five Points, warts and all, is the kind of place you want to return to now and again.

Braylon Edwards regularly lures Alex Smith back onto the field for some extra work, a few more throws to make sure they're clicking and on cue. Same goes for study sessions in the film room.
They do it after practice, even on days off. Sunday the 49ers kick of the season at home against the Seattle Seahawks.
In the short time since Edwards joined the San Francisco 49ers, he has shown a commitment to his new team in a much-needed second chance out West with a fellow Michigan man calling the shots: Jim Harbaugh.
Edwards hopes to develop the best possible chemistry with Smith so he can return to the dynamic play-making receiver he has been in the past.
He recently switched back to his old No. 17 jersey after wearing Terrell Owens' No. 81 during camp.
While Edwards might not start Sunday's opener against Seattle, he should have a big role.


text: Bold, yet Polished at Rebecca Taylor WWD went behind the scenes at the spring show. By Jessica Amodio on September 7, 2013 "Tough and downtown, but quite polished," said makeup artist Sil Bruinsma, for MAC Cosmetics, when describing the inspiration for the beauty look at Rebecca Taylor. Skin was monochromatic, which was achieved with Face and Body Concealer used minimally on the face and dabbed on the lips. Before heavy eye makeup was applied, Bruinsma used Mixing Medium Shine as a base. Then, to emphasize a worn-in look, the eyes were fully rimmed and heavily smudged with Kohl Power Eye Pencil. To finish, eyebrows were brushed up.Meanwhile, "grungy chic" were the key words from hairstylist Rutger, who worked with Oribe. The style involved free-flowing hair with unkempt waves, meant to reference the style of a girl doing her hair in front of a mirror. To achieve this, he used Foundation Mist to add moisture before the hair was dried with a blow-dryer. Then he used a curling iron to create natural looking curves. "We have to keep working the hair until we get the right thing," he said. Smooth Style Serum was then added to create a stringy texture without making it appear greasy. "It adds cool character in the hair," he said. On the nail front, red was the color Keri Blair, lead nail artist for MAC, had in mind for the show. "It was just a matter of finding the right red," she said. Blair mixed two red shades called Steamy and Flaming Rose — in a 30-to-70 ratio — to create a raspberry color. The bespoke name of the custom nail lacquer was Rosette, Blair said. A warm nude called PS None was used on the toes to create "synthetic" effect. "It makes the girls look like they have Barbie feet," she said. To access this article, click here to subscribe or click here to log in.

The Illustrated Mum
The Illustrated Mum
Ten-year-old Dolphin and her older sister Star lead an unusual life --- sometimes wild, sometimes stressful, but never dull. Their mother Marigold is a beautiful, compulsively creative work of art --- almost every square inch of her body is covered in fantastic, one-of-a-kind tattoos. To Dolphin, Marigold is "the most magical mother in the whole world," with her boundless imagination, her childlike enthusiasm, and her willingness to do crazy things like baking a dozen kinds of cake in a single afternoon.
As Star gets older, though, Marigold is a burden. Too often, Star ends up playing the part of the mother when Marigold stays out too late, has too much to drink, brings home another boyfriend, or disappears to her room in a funk for days on end.
When Star's father Micky, the love of Marigold's life, reenters their lives, Star jumps on an opportunity to escape her chaotic life with Marigold. Dolphin, fiercely loyal to Marigold, stays behind to care for her mother. Soon, though, Dolphin begins to realize that Marigold's unpredictability --- her violent rages, her spending sprees, her impulsiveness --- might be the signs of a problem that's too big for her little family to solve on their own. Helped by her new friend Oliver and an unexpected ally, Dolphin must make a hard choice that could save her mother's life.
Told from Dolphin's point of view, THE ILLUSTRATED MUM brilliantly portrays a family united by love but threatened by mental illness. Dolphin fiercely loves her mother, and her willingness to admit that Marigold needs help is a sign of her own growing maturity. The words "bipolar disorder" are not included until near the end of the novel, allowing readers to get to know Marigold as a person rather than as a diagnosis. Instead, readers will see Marigold's character, and her daughters' love for her, as a complete picture --- as complex as the mural of tattoos that decorates her body.

Prosthetic ears appear to improve hearing and speech recognition in noisy environments, according to a report in the September/October issue of Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery.
Some patients require prosthetic ears because their pinna (outer ear) was removed during surgery for cancer or damaged by trauma, according to background information in the article. "Their external auditory canal is usually intact, and the remainder of their auditory system should function normally," the authors write. "In these patients, the physician must strive not only to correct the aesthetic defect caused by the missing pinna but also to correct the hearing loss caused by its absence."
William E. Walsh, M.D., C.M.I., of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, and colleagues analyzed eight different silicone rubber prostheses in a two-part study. In the first part, the researchers used a life-sized plastic foam head with a 12-millimeter hole drilled through at the location of the external auditory canal. A microphone was placed at the entrance of the ear canal to measure sound pressure levels both with and without the prosthesis while the head was rotated 360 degrees in 30-degree increments.
On average, the prostheses improved the sound pickup by 8.1 decibels (normal conversation is about 60 decibels) when the frequency of the sound was 4.6 kilohertz, and 9.7 decibels when the frequency was 11.5 kilohertz.
To see if this improvement would benefit patients, 11 English-speaking young adults with normal hearing took two versions of a speech test. The first was unmodified but in the second, the acoustic effects caused by the absence of a pinna were simulated based on the results from the first part of the study. The participants plugged their left ears and sat in front of two speakers, one playing normal speech and one playing white noise. Researchers increased the sound level of the speech by one decibel at a time until all of the sentences were understood. The trial was then repeated with the prosthesis over the right ear.
In this test, the prosthesis significantly improved the average ratio of speech to noise at which all sentences were understood. This part of the study "answers the question whether the gain measured in a model system actually improves a patient's hearing," the authors write.

Dustin Hoffman Breaks Down at BAFTA Event
Dustin Hoffman was reduced to tears after reflecting on his prolific career during the British Academy of Film and Television Arts last week.
The 75-year-old actor was the subject of a Life in Pictures retrospective at the special event in London on Tuesday, according to MSN Entertainment.
After the audience reflected and honored Hoffman, the actor took the stage. Hoffman looked back on his Academy Award-winning role in "Kramer vs. Kramer."
"I was getting divorced, I'd been partying with drugs and it depleted me in every way," revealed the actor as he became emotional. The role alongside Meryl Streep arose as the actor split from wife Anne Byrne in 2001.
"It was the first time I ever made a movie where I was living through what I was acting- unlike a writer or painter, who gets up in the morning and can exorcise what they're going through," he explained. "It's quite unusual to be getting a divorce, my first and only divorce, at the time I'm shooting a movie about a man getting a divorce."
Hoffman added that he almost turned down the role in "Kramer vs. Kramer" after reading the initial script for the film. He joined producer Stanley Jaffe and director-writer Bob Benton only after the script had been rewritten.
"We finished and I got offered a writing credit and stupidly turned it down, but it was a liberating experience for me to push all the stuff I was going through out there," said Hoffman during Tuesday's event.
Then, speaking about his ons-creen son, actor Justin Henry, Hoffman became teary-eyed again, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"I later discovered he was coming from a home that was breaking up," said the actor. "There was a moment during a break in the testing when I thought, this is the right kid, he's my son."
Hoffman also discussed his Oscar-wining film "Rain Man," explaining the challenges of portraying Raymond Babbitt, the autistic brother of Tom Cruise's character. During the filming, director Barry Levinson took Hoffman aside to praise him for bringing his character to life.
"It was that marvelous feeling when you find yourself in a territory when you think you're not getting it," said Hoffman. "It's feeling like you're in between worlds."

Bruce Irvin's Pita Pit caper
A police officer saw him do this in Morgantown, W.V., according to the complaint filed with the Morgantown Municipal Court.
"I'm just drunk," Irvin said, according to the complaint.
The officer asked the driver if the vehicle was damaged, and after point to damage, Irvin was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct and destruction of property.
Those charges were resolved when Irvin appeared Tuesday at the municipal court. He pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct and was assessed a fine of $200. The charge for destruction of property was dismissed.
On Thursday, general manager John Schneider said the Seahawks were aware of the incident, and that Irvin regretted, and had written a letter, presumably to the victim.
"We know what happened and researched it," Schneider said. "He made a mistake and was remorseful and all that."

Buffalo cocaine trafficker gets stiff federal sentence
Victor Marshall, 36, a convicted Buffalo cocaine trafficker, was ordered Wednesday by U.S. District Court Judge Richard J. Arcara to serve a ten year and ten month federal prison term.
Marshall was convicted of conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine locally. Assistant U.S. Attorney George C. Burgasser said Marshall and cohorts were active in 2011 and Marshall was arrested after he sold cocaine to a confidential informant in November 2011.
On Nov. 22, 2011 Marshall was arrested carrying 10 ounces of cocaine, the prosecutor said. The breakup of the cocaine ring in which Marshall was involved was a result of a probe by the FBI's Safe Streets Task Force, Burgasser said.
