MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – An Horry County School District teacher has been arrested for unlawful neglect of a child, allegedly after disciplining a child with special needs with dish detergent, according to a Myrtle Beach Police incident report.
On Thursday, police responded to Myrtle Beach Intermediate School, where a witness told them 57-year-old Moncille Thomas put dish detergent on her fingers, and then put her fingers inside the mouth of a non-verbal autistic child, to discipline him for spitting. The incident report states she then struck the child twice in the chest with a dustpan.
Thomas was arrested and charged with a felony count of unlawful neglect of a child. She turned herself in Friday morning, and was booked into the Myrtle Beach jail shortly afterward.
"In some cases it's pre-arranged through an attorney," said Myrtle Beach Police Captain David Knipes. "They turn themselves in so they can get processed in our jail, and go to bond hearing right after that."
Thomas' bond was set at $20,000 at a hearing.
Audio recordings of the hearing captured the frustration of the young boy's father.
"I watched a lot of harshness she was doing," he said. "Whatever the bond is, I hope it's the highest you can give."
Horry County Schools spokesperson Teal Britton said Thomas is a special education teacher who has been teaching for 28 years, and was employed by Horry County Schools in 2004. She has been working for Myrtle Beach Intermediate School since August 6, 2013, Britton confirmed, and has previously worked at Loris Middle School, North Myrtle Beach Middle School, and North Myrtle Beach Elementary. She is on administrative leave with pay pending an investigation.
Her first mandatory court appearance is set for November 1st.

Fog Bank works better than Delver of Secrets Flip if you're going for a defensive mill play.
Also, have you considered sweepers, or at least partial bounces like Devastation Tide and the likes?
For mill concepts, I'd prefer to find a way to throw in a card:Grafdigger's Cage or two for main board, what with all them snappies and flashbacks running around in the meta right now.
August 1, 2012 11:17 a.m.
IAmKingTony says... #2
the Cage will hurt your own deck. you want to use card:Tormod's Crypt for that purpose
August 1, 2012 11:24 a.m.
Tormod's Crypt does look like it could be good, possibly as a sideboard card. As for Delver vs Fog Bank, it is actually more of an offensive mill deck. With a decent hand I can easily have a 3rd turn delver + 5/5 jace's phantasm with possible kill on turn 5. In playtests depending on hand/draws I can kill with damage between turns 5-9, and the earliest mill out is turn 6, average is 8-9 for that.
Bounce wise, I actually need to add in my sideboard, I keep forgetting (I have it at home, at work atm) but it does have unsummons in there and devastation tide is a maybe. I have also considered mist ravens as well but am uncertain on them.
I have considered running it more defensive and putting in the fog banks but haven't had a chance to test it yet.
August 1, 2012 11:32 a.m.
@IAmKingTony & @Drathmar: D'oh. Forgot about your snappies, yeah, scratch that suggestion for card:Grafdigger's Cage.
August 2, 2012 11:53 p.m.
Devastation Tide will save you more than you might think. I run a similar deck, and it kept my opponent from connecting when I didn't want them to. Vapor Snag , or at least Unsummon will protect your own guys/deal with large early threats. card:Tormod's Crypt is a must in the sideboard. Otherwise a single Invisible Stalker with card:Runechanter's Pike will ruin you.
August 3, 2012 9:10 a.m.
This looks more control with some mill aspect. If you want a mill deck I think you should cut some stuff and focus more on stalling and milling, this seems like the mill wouldn't get going fast enough for it to win with mill, it looks like it would win with delver and control.
August 3, 2012 10:07 a.m.
why you no run Talrand, Sky Summoner its a great defense card with so much instances and sorceries your playing mill someone and get a 2/2 flyer sounds good to me :)

Reds move forward after Dunn
Moves leave team with much younger look for rest of season
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
PITTSBURGH -- The biggest man with the biggest bat -- Adam Dunn -- was long gone as the Reds came to work on Tuesday. For a team that's already struggling, the final 43 games without Dunn and Ken Griffey Jr. will be played with a large offensive void. Dunn was traded to the Diamondbacks on Monday for Minor League pitcher Dallas Buck and two other players to be named. Griffey was traded on July 31 to the White Sox and the Reds responded by going 1-9 in the previous 10 games, including six losses in a row during that stretch. "We obviously don't have a lot of pop in the lineup," Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo said. "It doesn't mean we can't win ballgames. Yesterday, guys were sitting around [saying], 'we might not win another ballgame all year.' I was like, 'forget that, I'm winning five more. I don't care what the lineup looks like.' To me, I'm thinking about every fifth day. I don't care if a Little League team is playing behind me. I'm still going to throw and try to win every night." Unlike the trade of Griffey, there weren't many dropped jaws inside the clubhouse when the trade of Dunn was announced. He was one of a dozen free agents that club had heading into the winter. "It was inevitable," Arroyo said of the deal. "They weren't going to give him $100 million. He said he was looking for $120 million. They're not willing to go out on a limb that far." "It's difficult but I also think we're all used to the game itself," reliever David Weathers said. "That's part of it. It's not very often during the course of a year you see two big names like that from one team get traded." An inevitable question has to be, who might be next? With catcher David Ross being designated for assignment on Sunday, the Reds have already jettisoned three veterans. "We don't have a whole bunch of veterans among the everyday lineup guys. Most of the veterans left here are pitchers," manager Dusty Baker said. "You're always hoping this is it. You never know. If you've been in this game long enough, you know you can't worry about something that's out of your control. It's easier said than done, of course." The Major League season stops for no one, even departed big names. The last-place Reds were staring at a 52-67 record and a 19 1/2-game deficit in the National League Central before playing the Pirates on Tuesday. Arroyo was optimistic the front office would attempt to regroup to improve the team, long term, instead of leaving large lineup holes. "Obviously, we're starting to make moves that are telling us that they pretty much think the season is over," Arroyo said. "I figure they're looking for the future and definitely looking for some guys that they can sign in the offseason. I would expect them to go out and spend some money. We'll see."

Michael P.wrote a review of La Sportiva Mantis Climbing Shoe on April 20, 2010
Good Shoe, Comfortable
This is a good comfortable shoe IF you get the right size. I saw a lot of reviews on this shoe before buying it and didn't listen to their complaints on its size. This shoe does seem to run smaller than a couple other shoes i've worn, like the Evolve Defy's, which i wear a 9 in. But the 9's for the Mantis REALLY cramped my foot for the first week of wearing them. They have stretched out a little and I am no longer in pain when I wear them, but i would suggest a 1/2 size up from your regular climbing shoe size. Every shoe is different however, so whatever shoe you get, take the time to find them in a store to try them on first.
They smear pretty well. This is my first climbing shoe so I don't have too much experience with shoes but the seem to do pretty well and the heel of the shoe really locks your foot into the shoe. And with the three straps, you get a nice tight fit. I would suggest this shoe to someone who is looking for a comfortable first shoe but not for an advanced climber who's looking to send a v6 or v7.
other than my sizing issue, GREAT SHOE :)

Uterine & Pelvic Surgery
GYNECARE INTERCEED® Absorbable Adhesion Barrier
Control beyond closure
GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier has been proven to reduce the formation of pelvic adhesions to provide you with control beyond closure. Extend the benefits of your meticulous surgical technique throughout the 5-to-7 day peritoneal tissue healing process to protect the pelvic organs from adhesion formation. With GYNECARE INTERCEED Adhesion Barrier, you can close with confidence.
|3" x 4" (7.6cm x 10.2cm)
|5" x 6" (12.7cm x 15.2cm)
Essential Product Information
GYNECARE INTERCEED® Absorbable Adhesion Barrier is indicated as an adjuvant in open (laparotomy) gynecologic pelvic surgery for reducing the incidence of postoperative pelvic adhesions after meticulous hemostasis is achieved consistent with microsurgical principles.
The use of GYNECARE INTERCEED®> (TC7) Absorbable Adhesion Barrier is contraindicated in the presence of frank infection. GYNECARE INTERCEED® is not indicated as a hemostatic agent. Appropriate means of achieving hemostasis must be employed.
The safety and effectiveness of GYNECARE INTERCEED® in laparoscopic surgery or any procedures other than open (laparotomy) gynecologic microsurgical procedures have not been established.
Postoperative adhesions may be induced by GYNECARE INTERCEED® application if adjacent tissues (eg, ovary and tube) and structures are coapted or conjoined by the device, or if GYNECARE INTERCEED® is folded, wadded or layered. Postoperative adhesions may occur in the presence of GYNECARE INTERCEED® if meticulous hemostasis is not achieved prior to application. As with all foreign substances, GYNECARE INTERCEED® should not be placed in a contaminated surgical site.
Use only a single layer of GYNECARE INTERCEED®, since multiple layers of packing or folding will not enhance the adhesion barrier characteristics and may interfere with the absorption rate of GYNECARE INTERCEED®. Care should be exercised in applying GYNECARE INTERCEED® to a pelvic organ not to constrict or restrict it. If the product comes in contact with blood prior to completing the procedure, it should be discarded, as fibrin deposition cannot be removed by irrigation and may promote adhesions formation. Ectopic pregnancies have been associated with fertility surgery of the female reproductive tract. No data exist to establish the effect, if any, of GYNECARE INTERCEED® on the occurrence of ectopic pregnancies. No adequate studies have been conducted in women who have become pregnant within the first month after exposure to GYNECARE INTERCEED®. No teratogenic studies have been performed. Therefore, avoidance of conception should be considered during the first complete menstrual cycle after use of GYNECARE INTERCEED®. The safety and effectiveness of using GYNECARE INTERCEED® in combination with other adhesion prevention treatments have not been clinically established. GYNECARE INTERCEED® is supplied sterile. As the material is not compatible with autoclaving or ethylene oxide sterilization, GYNECARE INTERCEED® must not be resterilized. Foreign body reactions may occur in some patients. Interactions may occur between GYNECARE INTERCEED® and some drugs used at the surgical site. Pathologists examining sites of GYNECARE INTERCEED® placement should be made aware of its usage and of the normal cellular response to GYNECARE INTERCEED® 'to facilitate proper evaluation of specimens'.
The type and frequency of adverse events reported are consistent with events typically seen following surgery. Postsurgical adhesions may occur in the presence of GYNECARE INTERCEED®.

Thanks to this week's big news in the Smithkline Beecham case, where the Ninth Circuit held that gays are protected by a heightened form of scrutiny, a full report of retired Judge Richard Cebull's misconduct, which was released on the eve of the holiday weekend, got swept under the rug.
We missed out on misconduct? Say it ain't so. Lets take a closer look, shall we?
Judge Cebull's Email Scandal
Last year, we covered Judge Cebull's retirement in the wake of an email scandal. The former Chief District Judge for the District of Montana, Cebull had forwarded an inappropriate (to put it mildly) email about President Barack Obama that he admitted was racist, though he explained that it was only out of personal animosity towards the president.
Cebull requested a judicial inquiry into his own conduct and got one. Before the report was released, however, he retired, and the Ninth Circuit kept the report under wraps.
On Friday, the Committee on Judicial Conduct and Disability of the Judicial Conference of the United States (they really need a shorter name) ordered that the Ninth Circuit's report be made public, and now, for the first time, we know exactly why Judge Cebull retired.
(The committee also, by the way, illuminated a Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals judge's travel reimbursement scandal, which forced him to resign as well.)
Hundreds of Inappropriate Emails
The Ninth Circuit's investigators found hundreds of inappropriate emails, including some that disparaged liberal politicians, some that were racist, some that were homophobic, and some that practiced faith-based prejudice. He ran the gamut of political incorrectness in his inbox, apparently.
The Billings Gazette notes that 10 other complaints against Cebull were, without explanation, not investigated and argues that the Ninth Circuit's cover-up is a "breach of judicial ethics and public trust."
Did the Ninth Circuit Act Unethically?
This does have a fishy look to it, doesn't it? One of their own gets accused of misconduct. He retires, so they hold back the disciplinary report that would have embarrassed him.
Plus, the report was incomplete and didn't investigate 10 other complaints against the judge.
Reasonable minds could differ on how far the Ninth should have gone with this. After all, once he retired, the issue really is moot, isn't it? Why keep digging, other then for the sake of embarrassing an already embarrassed judge.
Then again, looking fishy and the appearance of favoritism is exactly the issue, isn't it? What's that judicial conduct phrase that the judges themselves are supposed to abide by -- avoiding the "appearance of impropriety"?

What transpired on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001 irrevocably altered the face of our nation – a fact that's most certainly not news. Nor is it news that thousands upon thousands of words, from both sides of the rhetorical aisle, have been expended upon the spate of highly visible feature film projects tackling that sprawling, bloody day. For good or ill, 2006 is fast becoming the year that America faces its fear. Between the pair of movies concerning the doomed United Airlines flight that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania (Paul Greengrass' wrenching, masterful "United 93" bowed in late April) and Oliver Stone's controversial "World Trade Center," the country is going to have some unsettling, sadly familiar images put in front of it.
Five years later, amid the hue and cry of "Are we ready?" comes a larger question: will we ever be ready? In truth, probably not – thankfully, one of the oft-forgotten roles of art is catharsis; whether one or any of these projects will help foster a sense of closure is endlessly debatable. Are these films necessary? In the grand scheme of things, no, not particularly – fictionalizing or docu-dramatizing events that have been the subject of countless documentaries, books, TV specials and talk shows doesn't blunt the impact of 9/11, but rather keeps it near the forefront of the collective national consciousness.
Unfortunately, while director Peter Markle's dramatization of the events that transpired aboard the ill-fated United Flight 93 beat Greengrass' version to the punch (it aired on cable's A&E in January 2006, and even Flight 93 marks the third TV incarnation), it pales in comparison to the unsparing feature film. Despite being somewhat hampered by standards and practices, Flight 93 is still brutal, poignant and a cut above most TV movie fare, somehow avoiding the whiff of exploitation that invariably dogs projects such as these.
There are obvious, inescapable similiarities between the films – and not merely the timeline of events; both Flight 93 and United 93 employ jittery, handheld cinematography and a cast of unknown actors, but Flight 93 is slicker and less gritty and as a result, loses some of its immediacy – not to mention the absence of logos, which drains even more of the veracity from the film. That said, there's an undeniable power to Markle's handling of the material, capturing some truly heartbreaking moments aboard the embattled United Airlines flight. While much of what occurs on United Airlines Flight 93 is dramatic conjecture, it feels grounded in reality, as though exacting transcripts of the flight's final minutes exist somewhere.
The cumulative emotional effect of Flight 93 is a curious one – a simultaneous feeling of overwhelming sadness and rootless anger; a familiar dichotomy that permeated America's mindset in the days and weeks following that shocking September morning. The sense of mounting dread is felt from the opening scenes of Flight 93 – while not the overwhelming achievement that United 93 is rightly being hailed as, it's a competent, well-intentioned work that joins the ever-growing catalog of films exploring the events and after effects of a day the world will never forget.The DVD
The Video:
As originally broadcast, Flight 93 arrives on DVD with a crisp, clean 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer that doesn't suffer from any hint of damage, befitting a film less than six months old. Mark Irwin's you-are-there cinematography looks very sharp and well lit.The Audio:
Dolby 2.0 stereo is all that's offered here, which is perfectly serviceable – dialogue is always heard clearly and free of distortion, while Velton Ray Bunch's spare score fills in appropriately. Spanish subtitles are also on board.The Extras:
There isn't too much in the way of bonus material here, with only a writer/director commentary featuring dispassionate, somewhat dry conversation with Markle and screenwriter Nevin Schreiner. A 12 minute, 32 second featurette that includes interviews with Markle, producer David Gerber and Schreiner is here as are trailers for Flight 93 and 12 Days of Terror.Final Thoughts:
Flight 93 unfortunately suffers by the inevitable comparisons to Paul Greengrass' superior United 93 but it doesn't completely diminish what director Peter Markle and his cast have accomplished here: a tasteful, if somewhat slick, recounting of a morning that changed the world forever. Recommended.

How can type 2 diabetes be prevented?
One of the most important factors in the development of diabetes is genetics (over which we have no control). However, there are things in our environment and lifestyle we can control to lower our personal risk of developing diabetes, including exercise and weight loss.
When adjusted for family history, the benefits of exercise can be evaluated based on previous studies. Of note, for every 500 kcal burned weekly through exercise, there is a 6% decrease in relative risk for the development of diabetes. This data is from a study done in men who were followed over a period of 10 years. The study also notes a greater benefit in men who were heavier at baseline. There have been similar reports on the effects of exercise in women.
Exercise is thought to be a major determinant of insulin sensitivity in muscle tissue. By increasing exercise, the body uses insulin more efficiently, for up to 70 hours after the exercise period has occurred. Thus exercising three to four times per week would be beneficial in most people.
The same benefits are seen when looking specifically at people with impaired prediabetes (glucose tolerance/impaired fasting glucose). When diet and exercise are used as tools in this population over a six year study and compared to a control group, glucose tolerance improves by about 76% compared to deterioration in 67% of the control group. The exercise group also had a lesser rate of progression to type 2 diabetes.
It should be noted that a lot of the benefit of exercise occurs independent of weight loss. However, when combined with weight loss, the benefits increase substantially.
Weight Loss
In people at risk for diabetes, weight loss can improve insulin sensitivity as well as delay, and even prevent progression to type 2 diabetes. In patients with overt diabetes, weight loss can play a tremendous role in improving blood sugar control.
Two large studies - one in Finland and the other one U.S. (the Diabetes Prevention Program- DPP) have shown the benefit of weight loss in diabetes prevention. In the Finnish study, more than 500 men and women with impaired glucose tolerance were assigned to a control group or an exercise/weight loss group. By the end of the study, the weight loss group had lost about 8 pounds, and the control group about 2 pounds. The weight loss group had significantly less participants develop diabetes than the control group.
The DPP study showed a similar result. In this study, there was also a group taking metformin (Glucophage) as a preventative measure. At the end of the study, the lifestyle group actually did better at prevention of diabetes than those taking metformin. In fact, the study was stopped early, because the benefit of weight loss (the weight loss group lost about 15 pounds on average and kept it off) was so dramatic.
Smoking 16 to 20 cigarettes a day or more can increase a person's risk of developing diabetes to more than three times that of nonsmokers. The exact reason for this isn't well understood. It may be that smoking directly decreases the body's ability to utilize insulin. Moreover, it has been observed that after smoking, blood sugar levels increase. Finally, there is also an association between smoking and body fat distribution, smoking tends to encourage the "apple" shape, which is a risk factor for diabetes.
In as study of over 83,000 women consuming nuts (and peanut butter) seemed to show some protective effect against the development of diabetes. Women who have more than five one-ounce servings of nuts a week lowered their risk of developing diabetes compared to women who consumed no nuts at all.

Even cowboys have a spot to kick up their heels in San Diego, at the always-happy Urban Mo's Bar and Grill. The place fills up with good dancers almost every night of the week. Thursdays and Saturdays, Mo's hosts Kickers Country Nights, spinning popular country mixes and dance anthems. Other evenings, guests can boogie to DJs spinning Top 40 from every decade — a fun mix of soul, funk, pop, and rock. Urban Mo's is a great club to show off slick moves, in boots or otherwise. Sunday Funday at Mo's is one of the few places in San Diego featuring a live DJ all day.

Voyeur is exclusively an electronic dance hall—dropping Top 40 trance, drum-and-bass, dubstep, house, and electro. The club is a tight, two-story Victorian-style castle with sexy go-go dancers tearing it up inside an enormous wall of lights. The DJ stage is the heartbeat of the dance floor, packed with electronic dance music fans that come to sweat. Drinks are expensive, but the cover is avoidable before 10pm. With a bar on both floors, drinks flow easily, so skip the bottle service — it's available for private parties on the second floor, overlooking the crowd.

July 4th, 2012
eleven years of full immersion in eportfolios, I am still pondering what
transformation we, the eportfolio global community, are aiming at. What
do we want? Has that changed in the last 15 years? And are we
making progress toward whatever goal we have in mind?
I started at the course level. I used a portfolio approach in the 1990s
to teach and experienced the dramatic uptick in student engagement first hand
that many of you probably experienced.
I then, a few years later, assumed responsibility for finding and rolling out a
campus-wide electronic portfolio system in 2001, I still had in mind the course
portfolio model. Even when I was chair of the board of the Open Source
Portfolio Initiative (OSPI), funded by the Mellon Foundation, a couple of years
later, I retained a learning orientation and a course portfolio mental
imagined eportfolios being used in numerous courses to change the nature of
those courses from a teaching focus to a learning focus. The sudden
capture of the eportfolio field by institutional assessment offices and their
compatriots in accrediting agencies across the country left me stunned.
But, out of necessity, I came to learn about rubrics and learning outcomes, and
an institutional perspective on eportfolio deployment.
the focus on learning outcomes a distraction or the camino real?
2008, Bret Eynon at LaGuardia Community College, asked me to consult about
hosting an eportfolio conference at LaGuardia in April of 2008. Having
seen how many people were attending OSPI conferences around that time, I advised
Bret that we might need to plan for significant numbers of attendees.
When, in fact, the LaGuardia conference drew over 500 people hungry to meet
other eportfolio advocates and practitioners, I realized the U.S. needed an
annual eportfolio conference. That summer, at Park City, Utah, Helen
Chen, Tracy Penny-Light and Darren Cambridge encouraged me to start an
eportfolio association.
saw the association – what is now AAEEBL – as a way to return the eportfolio
industry and the eportfolio academic establishment to a focus on
learning. In May, 2009, AAEEBL was launched.
the ongoing conversation among eportfolio advocates, practitioners and leaders,
the words "reflection" and "integrative learning" dominate. A Wordle
would have those two words in big caps and in bold.
these two words (reflection and integration), and the scholarly examination of
reflection as a mental habit of the learned, sufficient to understand the
transformation we seek? Having my own doubts about the power of a focus
on just reflection, I began to survey learning research over the past 30
years. Were there models of learning we could merge with eportfolio
theory, or with "folio thinking" (Helen Chen)? Could we discover our
roots through a better understanding of a broad theoretical and research-based
set of ideas and models? Could eportfolio have a broader foundation?
short answer is, of course, yes. Reading books and articles about
learning published over the past 30 years, anyone in our field would find a
treasure trove of discoveries about learning that invites eporfolio
implementation. It is as if all research regarding learning for 30 years
was written in anticipation of information technology and eportfolios.
the short life of the eportfolio community and market, the entire connected
world has been shaken to its foundations by information technology.
People point to "globalization" as a factor in the change, but would
globalization be possible without information technology? Or, people point
to a foundational shift from manufacturing to service – 80 percent of our GDP
comes from the service sector. But would this shift have occurred without
information technology?
world as it is now, after the foundational change, begs for learners who will
continue to learn for life. ePortfolios facilitate the development of
learners appropriate for the world as it is. ePortfolios facilitate
institutional change so that learning institutions (i.e., K-12, colleges and
universities) can help create learners fit for the world.
this new world, what is our goal as a field and a market sector?
the learning literature, we find dozens of intriguing ways to visualize and
organize learning. In learning institutions, we see emergent practices –
the high-impact educational practices (HIPs) identified by George Kuh in his
seminal AAC&U publication in 2008. Randy Bass at Georgetown
University alerted AAEEBL attendees in Boston in 2010 at the inaugural AAEEBL
conference of the obvious connections (to him) between high-impact practices
(first-year seminars, undergraduate research, learning communities, common
intellectual problems, writing intensive course and so on) and
impact becomes mega impact if you add eportfolio to HIPs.
way to view our goal is through the lens of "deep learning." All models,
all current learning designs, all eportfolio practices, in one way or another,
aim for deep learning. Deep learning is contrasted with "surface
learning" (listen, memorize, test). Surface learning engages learners
through a fear of failure (getting an F). Deep learning practices must be
designed for intellectual engagement: prompting an innate desire to
this moment in time, I find the deep learning literature and the concept itself
helpful. The term itself contrasts the past and the present. The
tide is turning toward a focus on deep learning and away from surface
learning. "In a time of stable knowledge, teach; in a time of
rapidly-changing knowledge, learn." (Carl Rogers).
the tide, turning or not, is slowed by current thinking about institutional
success. As colleges and universities become businesses, albeit
non-profit businesses, expert in marketing, building "customer relations,"
deeply involved in the business of sport, in the business of branding (all good
in many ways), a mindset has pervaded the academic enterprise:
"retention" and "graduation rate."
been a faculty member for decades, I was always aware of the tacit emphasis on
retention. I saw the resultant grade inflation, realized that if I was
known among students as a hard grader, my classes would shrink, and found it
hard to actually fail a student.
at the same time, I thought "I am depriving my students of the opportunity to
fail." And I was.
a learner of the opportunity to fail is depriving the learner a chance to
the learning literature, researchers speak of "how adults learn best." Do
our colleges and universities – in general – treat students as adults?
scaffolding so heavily – "here is the knowledge on a plate, just remember it" –
and by preventing our students from failing (alas, many succeed in failing
anyway) because we need to "retain" them, we are not allowing our students to
be adults.
do adults face in the world? A problem to solve with little or no
help. Infinite chances to fail. The challenge to create their own
value in an organization. Keeping a constant eye on the next job they
will seek. A demand to keep learning and to learn rapidly. The need
to work in a team. They need to be "deep learners."
colleges and universities do recognize the new realities and are making
appropriate changes. But college graduates are not doing as well in the world
as they did before 2008. The pace of change should probably
accelerate. MOOCs and badges are not the only challenges; an emerging
reluctance among students to take on student loans is a bigger one.
then, is our goal to help accelerate the pace of institutional change through
eportfolios toward developing deep learners who can succeed in life?

By U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper
The Tennessean
I went to college with Benazir Bhutto. Everyone called her "Pinkie" at Oxford in the mid-1970s. She was a glamorous dictator's daughter with a sports car and fashionable Western clothes. She could have starred in Hollywood as easily as Islamabad.
My sympathies go to her 19-year-old son, Bilawal, who is now at Oxford, for having inherited his mother's political party ... and probably her fate.
It is very difficult for Americans to even imagine Pakistan, a country that is both friendly and nightmarish. We don't cope well with dualism, ambiguity or treachery.
Today, Pakistan has more people than Russia and is much more troublesome. The Pakistan-India border is the most volatile in the world, with angry nuclear powers on both sides.
Pakistan's top scientist, A.Q. Khan, is an international outlaw for selling atomic weapons to North Korea and Libya. Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has not allowed anyone to interview Khan, despite $10 billion in U.S. aid in recent years. Pakistan's military has always run the country, whether openly or behind the scenes, and won't surrender Khan or his nuclear missiles.
Tribal loyalties paramount
Pakistan also has been protecting Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida, as well as Mullah Omar and the Taliban. Musharraf replies that neither he, nor anyone else, can govern the South Waziristan region. He may be right. Maps are meaningless there; only tribal loyalties count. Every warlord seems to believe: "Me against my brother, my family against our neighbors and my tribe against the world."
If you were Russia's Vladimir Putin, wouldn't you think it poetic justice to undermine U.S. influence in Afghanistan and Pakistan - and in the same, covert way that our CIA helped the mujaheddin beat the Red Army?
How can we understand Pakistan when neither U.S. nor Pakistani leaders tell the truth about our relationship? We praise democracy but prize the support of Pakistan's latest dictator, even when he invokes martial law. Musharraf arrests a few terrorists for us, but only to strengthen his hand at home. Musharraf's rivals, even Bhutto, offer little improvement.
I think that we should disengage militarily from the entire region, not suddenly or imprudently but intelligently. Our enemies are eager to bog America down in Southwest Asia, all the way from Beirut to Kashmir. They know our patience is short and that their weapons are effective: suicide bombers, IEDs, radical mullahs and madrassas. With our troops already overstretched and U.S. popularity at all-time lows, we need a new approach.
America needs to develop what the British called "Arabists," experts on the language and culture of the region. We have not even harnessed the talents of Pakistani-Americans, much less leaned Pashto or Urdu ourselves. Without sharp eyes and ears in Southwest Asia, we are blingd and deaf. And because we cannot see our ally's split personality, we are funding both sides of these multiple conflicts. Our troops should not be caught in the crossfire.

2007 Shafer Relentless
Syrah Blend
- California
- Napa Valley
Community Tasting Note
TSBWine Likes this wine: (93 points)
June 11, 2013 - 93+ Points. About a 2.5 hour decant at room temp. then cooled to serving temperature before pouring. As a note, I'm a big fan of Syrah and believe that it has a real sense of place (terroir) wherever it's grown. From Rhone to Napa, Central Coast, Australia or South Africa it shows a great variety of character. The Shafer Relentless is no exception.
On the nose there are generous portions of dark fruits and very obvious freshly-cut cedar with a menthol edge. On the palate, the wine shows rich, pure, macerated blackberries followed by ripe black currants and a mid-palate loaded with cacao and cedar before it finishes with cracked pepper and oak spices. With more aeration in the glass the wine developed herbaceous notes reminiscent of wild sage but never seemed to gather itself to express it in a profound way. (unlike some cooler climate Syrah). The alcohol absolutely pokes through at points but the rigid structure and acidity of the wine holds the ship together well enough to express plenty of character without falling apart.
An elegant wine it is not, but there's a lot of visceral pleasure here with enough interest and delineation to hold your attention. A bit of a burly wine and rough around the edges but it has enough focus to express some really lovely character. I would argue that despite it's ripe nature and higher alcohol levels that it still expresses a number of pure characteristics (particularly the blackberry) with excellent focus which speaks to its high quality. It's excellent now but could prove to develop in the bottle for another 4-6 years before plateauing.3,512 views

If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
Some guys are cut out for retirement
That certainly doesn't apply to me
If I had my druthers, I'd still be working
This is surely not my cup of tea
Used to be such an active fellow
Was hard at work twenty-four seven
Up until virtually all hours of the night
Now I'm lucky if I make it past eleven
This poetry site is my saving grace
Without it I'd surely go berserk
Well maybe that's overstating my case
But you get it, I thrive on work
Perhaps there's a big surprise in store
I'll inherit a million big ones
From a distant long lost cousin of mine
Might be getting too much sun!

"We think that the women in the twice-a-week and four-times-a-week groups felt more energized and physically capable" after several months of training than they had at the start of the study, says Gary Hunter, a U.A.B. professor who led the experiment. Based on conversations with the women, he says he thinks they began opting for stairs over escalators and walking for pleasure.
The women working out six times a week, though, reacted very differently. "They complained to us that working out six times a week took too much time," Dr. Hunter says.
Rather, they felt pressed for time and reacted, it seems, by making choices like driving instead of walking and impatiently avoiding the stairs"
Just from my experience, I've found the less is more approach to be more effective. When I was training for marathons, I gained weight because I ate more and was so tired that I was pretty much a sloth the rest of the day. When I exercise too much during the week, say six times, the workouts aren't the highest quality. There's can be a "going through the motions" aspect to them.
My sweet spot is around five workouts a week with one of those five being a simple power walk with the family. That's something any of us can do. The workouts don't have to be long ones either. 30-45 minutes of quality exercise. I did just that this Friday morning with one Texas Rangers executive before our day began at spring training.

The company has been collecting data since 2005 about the performance of more than 800 airlines actors the world and providing real-time information to passengers on flight schedules, including through a mobile phone application.
The company's report reveals that out of 27,752,213 flights checked in 2013, delays were recorded in the departure or arrival of 4,922,343 flights.
On-time departure is defined by Flightstats as flights departing less than 15 minutes later than scheduled gate departure. On-time arrival is defined as flights arriving within 14 minutes of scheduled arrival time.
The company receives the data directly from the airlines' databases, from aviation authorities around the world and through airlines' international distribution systems. The statistics only include airlines which meet or exceed a tracking threshold of 90% and are ranked in the top 60 worldwide in terms of Available Seat Miles (ASM).
The report includes a table ranking the top 10 major international airlines in on-time performance and additional tables according to region: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South America. The report also ranks low-cost airlines and mid-size and regional airlines.
Although the report calculates the on-time average according to departure and arrival times, in the aviation industry on-time performance is usually calculated according to the arrival time, as in many cases airlines can leave late and still reach their destination on time since the airlines take the possibility of delays into account when registering the flight length. Thus, we only referred to arrival times in this report.
The bottom line
Out of 58 major airlines, Bahrain's principal flag carrier, Gulf Air, has the best on-time arrival performance: 90.73% of the 42,515 flights it operated in 2013 reached their destination on time.
South African Airways ranked second with 90.42% of 57,900 flights, followed by Japan Airlines with 89.75% of 260,748 flights.
The Israeli representative, El Al, ranked last with an on-time arrival performance of 64.99%, after Royal Jordanian, Ethiopian Airlines and Colombia's flag carrier Avianca. More than one-third of the Israeli airline's flights arrive late.
El Al Israel Airlines said in response that its on-time performance constantly improves and has an average of more than 80%.

The Chief of Air Staff, AM Alex Badeh, has said that 300 airforce personnel have been deployed to Mali to rid the West African country of rebels that have taken over the northern part of Mali.
The Air Chief spoke to newsmen during the passing out parade and commissioning ceremony of the Direct Short Service Course 21/2012 Cadets of the 325 Ground Training Group at NAF Base in Kaduna at the weekend.
He said Nigerian troops were deployed to Mali following the directive by the President to contribute troops to Mali because Nigeria is a member of ECOWAS. "It's not a secret that the Nigerian Airforce is involved in Mali, the President directed that we should contribute 300 troops in addition to our war players, so we have 300 in addition to our war players and transport players that we have in Mali.
"The war has not actually begun on our side, having been briefed; but what we are doing now is setting out the concept of operations, I spoke with the Force Commander, Major General Shehu Usman Abdulkadir and he assured me that very soon the concept of operation will commence in earnest. "Nigeria is a member of ECOWAS and so they instructed that we also contribute troops to Mali, our planes are in Mali and our troops are also there, very soon the war will begin and our troops will move in to rid the state of the rebels in northern Mali", he said.
He emphasized that the significant performance in the on-going effort to flush-out rebels in Mali has earned the service the reputation of an effective and dependable force.

When the Desert Pines High basketball team jumped out to a 14-point advantage Thursday midway through the second quarter against host Eldorado, Jaguars coach Mike Uzan knew the lead wouldn't be safe.
After all, he is more than familiar with the talent and determination of the Eldorado players.
Uzan is in his first year coaching at Desert Pines after spending the past 11 years on staff at Eldorado, his alma mater. Eldorado eventually rallied to take the lead with 3:38 remaining, but Desert Pines pulled out a hard-fought 70-67 victory in Uzan's first game against his former team.
Changing in the visiting locker room, sitting on the opposite bench and competing against a core group of players he's coached since they were in elementary school was clearly awkward for Uzan.
"Those kids over there (at Eldorado) are tough. Those Eldorado boys are a good group of guys," said Uzan, who said his teaching post was eliminated at Eldorado because of budget cuts. "They are just young and they kept fighting all the way through. I'm proud of them and even more proud of our guys.
"Our guys stepped up to the challenge of coming into this place. It's a tough place to play in."
Uzan was Eldorado's head coach the last four years, leading them to three Sunrise Region championship games and the 2009 regional crown. While he will always cherish the memories of what he built at Eldorado, Thursday's win is an important step in the right direction in his next quest.
Three former Eldorado players are leading the way.
Thomas Hooper , who played at Eldorado last year, had a game-high 27 points in Thursday's win. Junior point guard Julian Jacobs, who is widely considered one of the Las Vegas Valley's top players, and guard Donavin Wright, each also followed their coach from Eldorado to Desert Pines.
"(The Eldorado players) are like my brothers, you know," said Jacobs, who battled foul trouble all night in finishing with seven points. "But, once you get on the court, you are playing to win. It's a competition. Once we got on the court, we only had one focus and that was to win the game."
Jacobs was a non-factor for parts of the game and fouled out in the fourth quarter. But Thomas was clutch all night, scoring six straight points to break a 61-all tie with less than three minutes remaining to give Desert Pines the lead for good.
"We needed Tommy to have a good game and he did. It was a confidence builder for him," Jacobs said.
While the coach and his players admit it was tough facing Eldorado, the ability to fight through the emotions will only make them stronger the rest of the season — and in years to come.
"This is about us now. This is about DP," Uzan said.
Guard Da'Quon Thrower had 21 points to lead Eldorado's comeback and Markeith Floyd added 19 points.

How do you top a championship season in which your team set a record for the top rookie-level winning percentage in more than 30 years?
Take on the South Atlantic League, of course!
Patrick Anderson, who guided the Gulf Coast League Nationals to a 52-9 record and a league title, now will try is hand as the new manager of the low Single-A Hagerstown Suns.
"I am looking forward to it," Anderson said. "I just finished my first year with the organization and they have been unbelievable. Whatever type of year we had, just the people in general, up and down, there is quality people all over the Nationals. It is just awesome.
"We had great kids with great makeup who did an unbelievable job. Now I am looking forward to having a bunch of them around with me up at Hagerstown."
Anderson will also feel comfortable being back in his home state of Maryland. He is originally from Silver Spring, and grew up in Burtonsville.
So was the GCL Nats' season an amazing combination of talent and good baseball? What was the reason for such an amazing run?
"We got to know the kids and let them play," Anderson said. "The makeup of these kids was off the chart. Early on, we were just watching them and trying to get a feel for what we had and decide where we were going to put them in the lineup. Every one of these players went about their business really, really great.
"I was at the ballpark at 5 a.m. The players would get there at 6:30 or 7 a.m. They got into a good routine. They made it important to themselves. They ended up getting better everyday rather than it being Groundhog Day."
Anderson said the players excelled under some tough weather and travel conditions.
"Just imagine the heat in Florida," Anderson continued. "People don't realize our travel was very difficult in the Gulf Coast League. We travel twice a week an hour and 45 minutes down to play either the Marlins or the Cardinals. We played in Port St. Lucie, which was an hour and 15 minutes away, once a week. So three times a week we were going over an hour and 15 minute drive. And just going back and forth, kids were getting back at about 6 p.m. each night, dead tired.
"They just got used to winning. It was ridiculous."
Anderson said the players adapted to the Nats' way of playing baseball, and went after the opponent from the first pitch.
"They adapted and really embraced being aggressive, baserunning-wise and with our hitting," he said. "The coordinators did a really nice job of laying the foundation. They embraced it and they took it and they ran with it. We really didn't single out any individual because it was a team effort. It was amazing. One guy would step up and then the next guy would. It was everybody up and down that lineup.
"We had a kid hitting .235 and he did a great job of situational hitting. He gave up some at-bats for the team."
Several pitchers, including Wander Suero and Lucas Giolito, pitched well for the GCL Nats.
I will have more on Giolito, who Anderson managed at GCL Nats, coming up in a separate blog entry.
Anderson also was impressed by a lefty from the Dominican Republic.
"Left-hander Hector Silvestre, a Latin kid from our Dominican program, I wouldn't say our No. 1, but he was on the mound all the time and threw the ball over the plate," Anderson said.
Silvestre went 7-0 with a 1.82 ERA for the GCL club and started one game for the high Single-A Potomac Nationals.
"Every one of our pitchers, for the most part, threw strikes. In baseball, especially in the Gulf Coast League, if they can throw the ball over the plate, catch and throw the baseball, we got a chance," Anderson said.
A lot of the players that did so well with the GCL Nats could eventually play in Hagerstown this season. Anderson said a new challenge awaits them there.
"It is going to be a different challenge for a lot of these guys to play under the lights. It will be pretty interesting to see how these kids respond playing in front of people," he said.
Anderson said many former teammates, players, coaches and managers influenced him on his way to the Nationals. Prior to managing the GCL Nats, Anderson coached Hofstra University baseball.
"There is a guy named (former major league player, manager and hitting coach within Phillies organization) John Mizerock. I call him the rain man of baseball. How he prepares a kid and allows him to feel comfortable, he was amazing to me. I embraced everything that he gave me. I was around him a lot," Anderson said.
Anderson is also close with Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long, Nationals minor league field coordinator Jeff Garber, former Royals and Pirates coach Joe Jones, ex-big leaguer Ron Clark and former Rays pitching coordinator Jerry Nyman, who taught him "how to find a way to make it important to these kids to get them to want to listen and take your information."
He also singled out current Nationals third base coach Bobby Henley.
"He has been the biggest influence to me while with the Nats," Anderson said. "He might be the best man in baseball and is a hidden gem."
All this knowledge and success with the GCL Nats has given Anderson the tools he needs to now excel in Hagerstown. Feeling right at home, he is ready for the challenge.

Surya has emerged as an actor, who is highly popular not only in Tamil Nadu but also in Andhra Pradesh. Every since his Ghajini became blockbuster, his fan base has been increasing with his every release. As a result, his market in the state has grown by leaps and bounds and the distributors have also understood that he is sellable actor in AP. Now for his latest movie 7th Sense, a dubbed version of Tamil 7aam Arivu, he has got a record number of screens.
According to traders, Surya is not facing any competition for his Diwali offering, 7th Sense. The forthcoming movie has got 400 screens, which is the second highest in terms of numbers after Rajinikanth's Robo, in Andhra Pradesh. In Nizam region alone, it is releasing with 150 plus screens that comprises 55 prints in Hyderabad. It is said that the actor and director AR Murgadoss' brand is working big time. Moreover, there are no big releases during Diwali, which has benefited the movie.
The surprising fact is that the Tamil version of 7th Sense has managed to get just above 400 screens in Tamil Nadu but in Andhra Pradesh, it has got almost same number of screens. It is because Vijay's Tamil movie Velayudham is also releasing on the same day. However, the movie, which also features Shruti Hasan, is releasing worldwide with 1000 prints on October 26.

Good Sunday morning to you. Just a light breakfast today before the Murrieta Fire Department's 65th annual barbecue.
"I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK, I sleeps all night and I works all day."
Sounds like a decent job, right? Not according to a new survey that ranks being a lumberjack as the worst job in the country.
That's according to CareerCast.com, a job search website, which is out with a list of the 200 Best and Worst jobs in America.
The rankings are based on five criteria: physical demands, work environment, income, stress and hiring outlook.
Topping the list as the best job is software engineer, followed by being an actuary.
Third on the list of the best jobs is human resources manager ---- our HR manager at the newspaper is still laughing ---- followed by dental hygienist and financial planner.
The worst jobs ---- after cutting down trees ---- are dairy farmer, enlisted military personnel, oil rig worker and newspaper reporter.
Newspaper reporter? We'll get back to that.
You can find out where your job ranks at www.careercast.com/jobs-rated .
Some of the numbers are pretty, let's just say, interesting.
For instance being an attorney (87) is just ahead of repairing vending machines (88). Installing carpet and tile (124) is a better job than being an air traffic controller (125) and fixing musical instruments (171) beats the heck out of being a firefighter (185).
By now, even this newspaper reporter (196) with the crummy job was beginning to question the survey.
As I dug deeper, I began to wonder whether this study had been conducted in this decade, or this century.
For instance, here are a couple of job descriptions I found interesting.
Photographer (147) ---- "Uses shutter-operated cameras and photographic emulsions to visually portray a variety of subjects."
Anyone seen photographic emulsions around anywhere?
Disc Jockey (180) ---- "Selects and plays records or tapes."
Plays records and tapes!
But now, back to the whole newspaper reporter ranking.
A newspaper reporter in 2012 isn't sitting at a Smith-Corona and yelling "Stop the presses" every five minutes. Reporters in this digital age are using cutting-edge technology applied to multiple platforms to bring information to readers in new and innovative ways.
Heck, even I understand some of it.
I started in this business 40 years ago, and the changes in just the past five years have been exciting and amazing.
But the core responsibility among professional reporters remains the same: to be truthful, honest and fair.
There's a lot of satisfaction in doing this job well ---- something this survey does not take into account ---- just as there is in most professions including, I'm betting, being a lumberjack.
Now, I'll climb down off my soapbox and go help the folks at CareerCast.com find their records, tapes and photographic emulsions.

Match versus eHarmony- One Review Announced by BestDatingWebsitesReviews.com
http://www.bestdatingwebsitesreviews.com has a website devoted to dating site reviews and arguments such as Match versus eHarmony. The site says that Match is best for those looking for a cheaper option to find dates, while eHarmony is better for those hoping to find a long-term relationship off the site.
Portland, Oregon (PRWEB) January 03, 2013
A website dedicated to dating site reviews now says eHarmony is the best site for people looking to find a real relationship, while Match.com is best for people who want a cheaper option to simply find dates.
"Match versus eHarmony" the site says, "is more about what you're looking for than which site is better."
The website explains that eHarmony produces great reviews from members because of their matchmaking ability. Their compatibility test is thorough and comprehensive, the site's review says, and leads to an inventory of potential mates who are really the type of people each member is looking for.
Members like Match, the review says, because of their price and their huge pool of searchable members. "With so many members in your area, there's no way you won't find a date."
Match.com is making huge improvements in their business model also, the site explains. Match recently introduced "The Stir" which is a program that allows members to participate in events put on by the site for singles in specific areas.
"You will not be able to get in (to the events) unless you are on the guest list" the review says, "so you'll always know that the people at these events are looking for a relationship just like you."
Being a member of Match.com is also cheaper than getting eHarmony services. The site says this is another reason for potential members to ask themselves this simple question, "Am I serious about a relationship, or am I just looking to date?" They say that people who are really serious about finding a relationship will never mind paying a few extra dollars for true love.
Full reviews of Match.com and eHarmony can be found at BestDatingWebsitesReviews.com (BDWR). The site also reviews Chemistry.com and PerfectMatch.
On top of the dating site reviews, BDWR has a forum for people to talk to other people across the country and around the world about dating, dating sites, and other related topics. And for those who feel like they would like dating advice- the site also has a blog where experienced daters write about love, breaking up, relationships, honesty, and more.
For those looking to get the online dating experience for a less expensive price, coupon codes can also be found for dating sites like eHarmony, Match, Chemistry, and PerfectMatch at Best Dating Websites Reviews.
There is also a page at BestDatingWebsitesReviews.com where visitors can come to entertain themselves by answering dating poll questions.
"We know how hard it is to find the right relationship and do the right things once you're in that relationship," the website administrator says. "So we wanted to create a convenient place for people to come to for help in those areas. Read reviews, get advice, talk to people on the forum- enjoy your time here- and leave more fit to find your companion."

The Edmonton Eskimos are the biggest longshots in the race to win the Grey Cup, according to at least one online sports betting website.
The Green and Gold are listed at +1800 to win the Grey Cup at bowmans.com.
In other words, if you wager $100 on the Eskimos and they win the CFL championship, you get $1,800 in return.
No other team in the CFL post-season offers such high odds on the Bowmans' betting board, which closes on Saturday.
In order of the favourite to the longest shot, here are the odds to win the Grey Cup on the Bowmans site:
Montreal -- +125
Calgary -- +150
Saskatchewan -- +700
Winnipeg -- +1600
Edmonton -- +1800.
Many online gaming sites haven't posted a betting line for Saturday's Edmonton-Winnipeg East Division semifinal cross-over playoff game.
It's expected that several sites will post those odds later this week. However, one online sports book -- thegreek.com -- has listed Winnipeg as the favourite for Saturday's game by 2.5 points.
Edmonton rookie special teams starter Justin Cooper is undefeated in his last three playoff games at Canad Inns Stadium.
As a member of the University of Manitoba Bisons, Cooper won all three post-season games at the Winnipeg field last year.
The Eskimos and Bombers will battle on the same surface on Saturday.
And regardless of where Cooper's CFL season ends this fall, he will return to Winnipeg in the winter.
"I am going back (to Winnipeg) right after football is done here," said Cooper.
That's because he's enrolled in five classes at the U of M next semester.
For just the second time, the crossover team heading to the East Division semifinal has a winning record. At 10-8, the Eskimos are about to play the fifth post-season cross-over game in CFL history.
The home team has won every crossover tilt.

Karma is a bitch isn't it? The pathetic left wing newspaper in New York called Journal News who published maps of gun owners in New York has been forced to hire ARMED security guards to protect the employees from what has been reported as 'negative correspondence,' which includes thousands of e-mails, and negative phone calls after what the Journal News did. Can you say hypocrisy Journal News? I knew you could.
Less than two weeks after a New York regional newspaper created a national controversy by publishing an online map of registered gun owners in its circulation area, the Journal News has once again brought attention to itself by hiring armed guards to protect its employees, an obvious case of hypocrisy given the publication's virulently anti-gun editorial stance.
As you would expect, the Journal News, which had previously touted its love of transparency and an informed public when it published its database of pistol permit holders, did not reveal this information to the public. The news was broken instead by the Rockland Times, a rival newspaper.
The controversy began December 23 when the paper published an interactive map with "pushpins" indicating the names and addresses of everyone listed as having a permit to carry a handgun within Westchester and Rockland counties. It also included a separate map of individuals who had previously applied for a permit in Rockland county.
The publication provoked outrage across the internet as people criticized the Journal News for endangering public safety by revealing this information since such households could potentially become targets for gun theft during their owners' absences. Things further developed after a blogger published his own map of Journal News employees' residences in the same tone of "informing" the public.

Very strange request – very
Does anyone know of a nice suitable theme for a lung cancer sufferer?
Horrible question I know, but let me explain. My brothers wife has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and I have suggested that she keeps an online journal of what is happening to her during her theropy. I thought it could act as a good support network for her.
I was pondering over which theme to use. It doesnt have to look any particular way, but she is fairly young so it should still look funky and certianly not downbeat – it should be very positive.
Does anyone have any suggestions of themes I should be looking at for her. I am also hoping that the weblog could act as a good charity revenue tool for Cancer Research UK, either through site adds or donations.
Thanks for your time guys.
