Education has taken on a new dimension with the advent of interactive apps and e-books— or at least it should have. But literacy experts are arguing that the most popular education apps do little to promote real reading comprehension in children.
In an article posted on Slate, Lisa Guernsey and Michael Levine — co-authors of "Pioneering Literacy in the Digital Wild West," a new report from the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading — unpack the claims made by many apps that they help children learn to read. They call the world of educational apps a "digital Wild West." Apps market themselves as improving literacy, but parents have few ways of knowing how effective they are. According to the authors' report, they are nowhere near as effective as they should be.
The majority of the most popular reading apps focus on phonetics rather than reading comprehension. They teach the ABCs, but in reality they are little more than glorified flash cards.
The authors found that among the iTunes App Store's most-downloaded literacy apps, 50 percent focused on phonics, while 45 percent covered letters and sounds. In the crucial areas of vocabulary and reading comprehension, the numbers are considerably lower: 5 percent and none, respectively.
The authors' examination of e-books yielded a similar story. Instead of using a tablet's unique interactive features to teach children how to create and understand a story, many e-books have become another method of occupying children.
"By contrast, good e-books for building strong readers will ask questions that lead to interactions with on-screen images that add meaning to the story or help reinforce the storyline," the authors wrote.
After the third grade, children's classroom learning becomes dependent on their ability to read. Difficulties reading impact not only their language arts classes, but also
their science classes, their social studies classes, even their math classes. Educational apps and e-books that take full advantage of their medium have
the potential to fill that void.

The trainer is Nicholai the knickerboker; who believes in becoming one with Pokémon in order to understand them. When Nicholai learns thay May is the daughter of the Petalburg gym leader Norman and instantly asks for a battle, May accepts, however, Brock claim she is not ready as Torchic is still inexperienced.
In the battle Nicholai sends out a Mudkip while May sends out Torchic, Nicholai quickly changes into a Mudkip costume and orders Mudkip to attack Torchic with Water Gun, Torchic is then wiped out clean. Nicholai starts to make jokes on how easy it was to battle May and her father may be easier, this makes Max furious but Ash, Brock and May shrugs of the insult.
While having lunch, May realises Max is missing they go on to search for him. Nearby Max is seen with an handful of berries and drops them on the ground then out of nowhere a group of Zigzagoon comes for the food, when all the food is finished the group of Tiny Racoon's asks for more, but Max says there is no more. This makes the Zigzagoon angry as they start attacking Max. At that point Ash, May and Brock arrives and try to save Max, But before they could do anything a big Zigzagoon appeared, it's Nicholai, Nicolai tames the Zigzagoon and capture one of them.

Has anyone planned a paw patrol birthday party?
I know it's a brand new show on nick jr so there are NO party supplies or very little much less party ideas for this theme. My son will be 4 and he is so into this show!!! He wants a paw patrol bday!!! Yikes!! Anyone else able to find any ideas out there? Please share!
My son loves that show!!! We are currently looking for Paw Patrol cake ideas and party supplies. I'm afraid if we do all 7 pups plus the cat and two kids in fondant it will cost 300 dollars for this cake!!
my son wants his 5th birthday party paw patrol style, would love to have the cake topped with the base...no toys though... Im going to have to improvise. all I can find online are print out stuff, nothing trully 3 dimensional. Good Luck on your party, hopefully we can both pull it off. LOL

pelham_nor1906681wrote a review of Rab Neutrino Endurance Down Jacket - Men's on January 19, 2013
Nice piece of kit...
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've had this for 2 years and carry it for hikes in New England winters in the Whites. It usually stays in the pack until its really cold and then it does the job - really warm down to 0F with layers and I like the wire in the hood that keeps the bill stiff. It's light and it packs down very well but lofts back up quickly. I try not to beat up the fabric but it has survived enough scrapes w rock ledges that I'm convinced its pretty tough.

Intel stands by sales forecasts
The world's biggest computer chip maker, Intel, is standing by its sales forecast for the third quarter of 2001.
But the company said the figures would be at the lower end of the range it predicted in July.
Intel shares jumped initially on the news, in after hours trading, but fell back as investors digested the implications.
The figures, which were released after the closing bell on the US markets, came after a day of gloom on the world's markets.
Market jitters
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 192 points while the tech-heavy Nasdaq also suffered heavy losses.
A profit warning from US tech giant Motorola sent jitters through the markets.
The company said its third quarter sales would be 'flat' after earlier saying they would be up 5%. It announced it will be cutting 2,000 jobs in response to the slowdown in its key markets.
Meanwhile, Intel is attempting to cope with a dramatic slowdown in the market for personal computers.
In July, it forecast third quarter sales of between $6.2bn and $6.8bn.
This represented a decline of as much as 29% from the company's 2000 third quarter sales.
Intel's revised guidance was well within the expectations of most analysts on Wall Street.
The company also said that its gross margins would be within the previous expectation of about 47%.
Last week, Intel slashed prices by 50% on some of its Pentium 4 microprocessors - at the same time introducing a faster version of its Pentium 4 chip.
The chip maker is locked in a fierce price war with rival Advanced Micro Devices, which responded to the Intel cuts with its own price cuts.

Colloquium - Justin Spence (UC Berkeley) "Linguistic Convergence and Maintenance in Pacific Coast Athabaskan"
Mon, February 18, 2013 | CLA 1.302E
Justin Spence is a candidate for a position in Historical Linguistics.
One of the fundamental issues addressed by historical linguistics is the life cycle of linguistic phylogenies. On the one hand, variation within a speech community sometimes leads to the emergence of new dialects and eventually languages, but other times fails to do so; on the other hand, established phylogenetic units that come into contact with each other may blur the boundaries separating them to a greater or lesser extent, or maintain their differences over many generations. The present study focuses on the latter scenario, considering the Pacific Coast Athabaskan languages of northern California and southern Oregon as a case in point. Beginning in the mid-19th century, Athabaskan-speaking populations of the region were dispossessed and consolidated on a small number of reservations, and speakers of shallowly-differentiated varieties came into intensive daily contact with one another. While in some settings (Hoopa Valley, California) the varieties in contact underwent fairly rapid convergence, elsewhere (Siletz, Oregon) some groups participated in processes of koinéization while others, even small minorities, maintained their linguistic distinctiveness.
These findings are of interest first of all because Athabaskan languages are well-known for being conservative with respect to borrowing from non-Athabaskan groups. The fact that koinéization occurred at all suggests that linguistic conservatism did not necessarily apply in contact within the language family, suggesting a refinement of Hill's (2001) theory of "distributed" versus "localist" stances with respect to variation. That some groups maintained their distinctive linguistic features sheds light on the social nature of koinéization and bears on one of the key debates in the literature on language contact: the extent to which structural versus social factors are the principal determinants of the outcomes of contact. In particular, it is argued that the largely asocial, deterministic theory of contact advocated by Trudgill (2004) cannot be correct, even in the limited range of cases he considers; rather, the social configurations in which contact occurs must be taken into account as well.

Introduction: The amount and type of substances that basketball players use is mainly unknown. A benefit of supplementation and medication use in sport is still controversial. Although some supplements could improve athletic performance and prescribed drugs are necessary in treatment of sports injury, inappropriate and excessive use could increase the number of adverse drug events and interactions.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to examine nutritional supplements (NS) and medications use by elite basketball players during FIBA Europe competitions.
Methods: We analyzed data collected from questionnaires that doctors of participated teams filled out after games. Team doctors were asked to write medications and nutritional supplements that athletes took in the last three days.
Results: In-group of female athletes (n=172), among reported substances (n=357), 73.9% (264) were NS and 26.1% (93) drugs. NS took 69.2 % (119) athletes (2.2 per athlete). Medications is taken by 33.7 % (58) athletes (1.6 per athlete). Only 18.6 % (32) athletes didn't take any substance. The most commonly used NS were multivitamins, sports drinks and carbohydrates. Frequently used drugs were NSAID (33.3 % of all medications). Twenty-eight of all athletes (16.3 %) took these drugs and three of them (10.7 %) took two NSAID in the same time.
In-group of male athletes (n=190), among reported substances (n=316), 72.8 % (230) were NS and 27.2 % (86) were drugs. NS took 44.7 % (85) athletes (2.7 per athlete). Medications took 28.9 % (55) athletes (1.6 % per athlete). Only 36.3 % (69) athletes didn't take any substance. The most commonly used NS were multivitamins, energy drinks and carbohydrates. Frequently used drugs also were NSAID (44.2 % of all medications). Thirty-four of all athletes (17.9 %) took these drugs and four of them (11.8 %) took two NSAID in the same time.
Conclusion: High intake of supplementation and medications in international basketball, especially non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, imposes necessity of education and control the use of those drugs. In view of the potential side effects, recommendations for supplementations and medication in sport need to be developed.

A year and a half ago, Amelia Timms moved to Memphis with her husband, and it was while this culinary school grad was looking for a job on Craigslist that she spotted a for-sale listing for an old Chevy step van painted a "hideous maroon."
"I had to have it!," Timms says.
She does have that van, and it's now a pretty bright green and in operation as Graze, a "farm to truck" food truck, serving up fare with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients.
Timms' partners in Graze are Georgia and Pat Smith, owners of Club Windward, a reception facility and catering firm in Lakeland.
Timms was working at Windward, investing her paychecks in the van to get it food-truck ready. She says that Georgia overheard her talking about the truck and said, "I want in on it."
Graze hit the streets in September of last year, working events at St. Francis and Germantown Performing Arts Centre. Their next gig is at the Irish Festival at the Brass Door on March 16th, noon-10 p.m.
Graze does catering as well and has booked a few outdoor weddings in the spring.
Timms says she's struck a deal through Shelby Farms to get produce through their gardens and she's using the winter downtime to establish relationships with area farmers.
Graze has served everything from a turkey-artichoke panini to burgers and hot dogs, but there is no set menu.
"It varies constantly," Timms says. The menu will be dictated as much by what's in season as by Timms' whims (example: she created dishes inspired by La Boheme for an Opera Memphis gig).Everything will be made from scratch. And though she resisted it, Timms has been convinced that all Memphis food trucks must have a fryer. (Her vision for the fryer includes funnel cake fries!)

Syracuse tight end Nick Provo just concluded his career with the Orange this past season. After a one-year hiatus this coming season, the Provo name will once again be roaming the field in the Carrier Dome.
Delray Beach (Fla.) American Heritage School three-star fullback Tyler Provo decided to commit to his long-time leader on Tuesday. The 6-foot-2, 235-pound prospect who can be utilized as a fullback, H-back, or tight end, says continuing the family legacy played into his decision to commit.
"A lot," Provo said when asked if it was meaningful to play at the same place as his aforementioned brother.
Article Continues Below
That wasn't the only reason why Provo opted to make his commitment. He contributed the decision in part to the relationship he built with a key assistant on Doug Marrone's staff.
"I love Coach (Nathaniel) Hackett," Provo said. "He is a great coach. I feel like I can do big things at Syracuse with him there."
Provo, who also held offers Boston College, Florida International, Louisville, and UCF, is firm in his commitment and unlikely to look around.
"I think I'm done," Provo said.
As a junior, Provo proved to be a key blocker for American Heritage's stout rushing attack that helped them earn a state championship.

New daddy Neil Patrick Harris – whose twins, Harper and Gideon, were born two months ago – paid a visit to The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson Friday night (December 10) to chat about the challenges of parenthood, and especially the difficulties in obtaining breastmilk for his daughter.
"We just switched Harper… Our daughter was really fussy, she was just always in a state of anguish, so we switched her formulas a few times," he explained. "And now we're having to have breastmilk brought in."
After joking about he and his partner David Burtka wanting to provide the milk themselves – "I tried for like two months!" – the How I Met Your Mother star talked about the process of buying pumped milk.
You have to have breastmilk shipped in. If anyone is pumping, extra milk has to go to San Jose and then get pasteurized and then come back to you. I think it's a racket!
"If someone's in Santa Monica, down the street, and wants to provide milk it has to go on a plane to San Jose," he explained, humorously expressing his frustration with the system.
Adding with a laugh, "And they charge a fortune, it costs more for breastmilk than sushi!"
Neil and David, who have been together since 2004, welcomed their twins via surrogate on October 12.

Grat idea! Thanks. - by KRISTENMBATT
Since this is a life style change and not a diet I needed to learn how to eat deserts.
So I now eat them in cupcake papers. Ice cream or apple pie, or a piece of cake in a cupcake paper looks festive and sufficient as compared to the same amount lost on a desert plate. Double satisfaction, having the desert and remaining in control.

Oakland police are searching for a man they say tried to kidnap a nine-year-old girl from outside her East Oakland home.
A police spokesman says the girl was playing in front of her home Monday evening when the man wrapped his arms around her, lifted her off the ground and started to carry her away.
Police say the attempted kidnapping was interrupted by the girl's family.
Investigators believe Monday's incident may be related to the attempted kidnapping of a 14-year-old girl by two men last November because the description of the second suspect in that attempt is similar to the description of the suspect in Monday's incident.
In the November kidnapping attempt the girl was able to escape and ran home.
Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest of the suspect.

Only Trade-Fuelled Growth Can Help the World's Poor
September 28, 2010
Current experience and history both speak loudly that the only real engine of growth out of poverty is private business, and there is no evidence that aid fuels such growth, says William Easterly, professor of economics at New York University and codirector of its Development Research Institute.
Of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), only the eighth faintly recognizes private investment, through its call for a "nondiscriminatory trading system." Yet the trade-related MDG received virtually no attention from the wider campaign, has seen no action and even its failure has received virtually no attention.
This is all the more misguided because trade-fuelled growth not only decreases poverty, but also indirectly helps all the other MDGs. Yet in the United States alone, the violations of the trade goal are legion, says Easterly.
- U.S. consumers have long paid about twice the world price for sugar because of import quotas protecting about 9,000 domestic sugar producers; the European Union is similarly guilty.
- Equally egregious subsidies are handed out to U.S. cotton producers, which flood the world market, depressing export prices.
- According to an Oxfam study, eliminating U.S. cotton subsidies would "improve the welfare of over one million West African households -- 10 million people -- by increasing their incomes from cotton by 8 to 20 percent."
The U.S. government, for its part, announced recently its "strategy to meet the millennium development goals." The proportion of this report devoted to the U.S. government's own subsidies, quotas and tariffs affecting the poor: zero.
It is already clear that the goals will not be met by their target date of 2015. One can already predict that the ruckus accompanying this failure will be loud about aid, but mostly silent about trade. It will also be loud about the failure of state actions to promote development, but mostly silent about the lost opportunities to allow poor countries' efficient private business people to lift themselves out of poverty, says Easterly.

2011 Kentucky Derby: Rising Super Stars Land on Long ShotsMay 3, 2011
Between them, jockeys Joel Rosario and Rafael Bejarano have won every riding title at a major meet in Southern California since 2008. However, in search of their first triumph in the Run for the Roses, each will ride long shots in the 137th running of the $2 million Kentucky Derby (Grade I) presented by Yum! Brands.
Rosario will be a much shorter price than Bejarano in his second time aboard Brilliant Speed (ranked No. 17 on Horse Racing Nation's 2011 Kentucky Derby Contenders list), who he guided to a last to first victory at 19-to-1 in the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (Grade I).
"I'd never been with the horse before and it's the first time I ride for the trainer," said Rosario. "I have to say thank you to them for giving me the chance to ride."
Not since 1991 with Strike the Gold has the Bluegrass winner gone on to win the Derby.
Trained by Thomas Albertrani, Brilliant Speed had previously placed in a pair of ungraded stakes races on the turf at Gulfstream Park after breaking his maiden on the turf at Tampa Bay Downs.
With his first Derby mount last year, Rosario closed from a distant last to finish fourth aboard 30-to-1 long shot Make Music For Me. His physical strength and smarts compliments his cool on the biggest stages, which is evidenced by his response to what last year's Derby experience means for him this year.
"It's a different horse and a different race so we'll see when the gate opens where he wants to take me," said Rosario, who notched his 1,000th career victory in February at Santa Anita just two months after turning 23-years-old.
After earning nearly $8 million in purses in 2008, the native of the Dominican Republic had his breakthrough year in 2009 when he won riding titles at Hollywood Park and Del Mar, while finishing fifth nationally with just over $13 million in purse earnings. He also tied a Hollywood Park record by winning six races in one day.
Last year, he finished third nationally for most money won with just under $16 million, and he's on top with $5.5 million so far this year. Although that success has earned him mounts on the best horses at usually short odds, he brought home many long shots when he first arrived on the scene in Southern California.
"We all have a confidence every time you go on the track," said Rosario. "You want to try to win the race. It doesn't matter if you're a long shot or the favorite."
Although Brilliant Speed was beaten by nearly 40 lengths in his two races on dirt last year, there is mild optimism that he can run well over the surface. His sire Dynaformer sired 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro, who had success on turf himself.
"It would mean a lot. It's the race that everybody wants to win," said Rosario. "If I win, it will be something very special."
Bejarano was named to ride Tampa Bay Derby (Grade II) winner Watch Me Go (No. 24) on Sunday after it was declared that Anthony's Cross, who ranked No. 21 in graded stakes earnings and needed one defection to make the field, was removed from Derby consideration due to a minor illness.
"I saw the race when he ran in Tampa Bay. He ran a really good race," said Bejarano of the colt's effort to win by a neck at 43-to-1. "I'm glad to pick up the mount."
The Tampa Bay Derby only became a graded stakes race in 2002, and in 2007, Street Sense became the first horse to parlay a win there to a victory on the first Saturday in May.
The next step along the Derby trail was a lot bumpier for Watch Me Go, as the son of Deputy Minister disappointed to finish sixth in the Illinois Derby (Grade III) as the 2-to-1 favorite.
"For the Derby, any horse can win the race. Anything can happen," said Bejarano of a race that has been won twice by 50-to-1 shots (Giacomo and Mine That Bird) in the last six years. "Especially this year. A lot of horses scratched so almost all the horses that are going to be there are very even."
Having started his U.S. riding career based primarily in Kentucky in 2002, Bejarano gained national attention when he lead all riders with 455 wins in 2004.
The 28-year-old native of Peru moved his tack west in 2007, and a year later became just the third jockey to sweep the riding titles at all five major meets in Southern California.
With over 2,300 career wins, this will be Bejarano's seventh Derby mount and he feels blessed to be in demand and have the opportunity to ride in the world's most famous race.
"This is my dream. I don't try to miss any Kentucky Derby," said Bejarano. "Even if it's a long shot, I'm going to do my best in the race."

You probably know that food, water, sunlight, and oxygen are required for life, but there is a fifth element of health that is equally vital and often overlooked: The Earth's magnetic field and its corresponding PEMFs (pulsed electromagnetic fields). The two main components of Earth's PEMFs, the Schumann and Geomagnetic frequencies, are so essential that NASA and the Russian space program equip their spacecrafts with devices that replicate these frequencies.
These frequencies are absolutely necessary for the human body's circadian rhythms, energy production, and even keeping the body free from pain. But there is a big problem on planet earth right now, rather, a twofold problem, as to why we are no longer getting these life-nurturing energies of the earth. In this book we'll explore the current problem and how the new science of PEMF therapy (a branch of energy medicine), based on modern quantum field theory, is the solution to this problem, with the many benefits.
©2013 Bryant Andrew Meyers (P)2014 Bryant Andrew Meyers
"Covers everything you need to know!"
Sincerely, everyone should read this book. I don't write many reviews, but in this case this book was truly enjoyable, incredibly informative and well documented. It will change your life for the better all the while feeling wonderful as you go. So informative I am on my fifth full reading and remains handy as a common reference document. To your health.
"Advanced Science, Advanced Health"
"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." -- Nikola Tesla
This book deals with applying post-Newtonian science to the world of medicine, presented by an author with a foot in both worlds. It is simple enough for general interest without dumbing it down. In fact, I'll say the explanations offered within are very well executed. There are many takes on this material to be found elsewhere, be it within the realms of quantum physics or the new age community, but the information speaks for itself if you're willing to move past the idea of a clockwork universe and enter the 21st century.
While most of the ideas within are practical and immediately executable in daily life, the equipment suggested within is probably out of reach of the average person living on a budget. Based on my own practical experience, the poor man's equivalent can be found in binaural or isochronic frequency technology. Experimentation is encouraged, and results may vary, but I think you'll find at least some improvement in your overall state of mind/body health. It won't be nearly as dramatic as a $6000 PEMF mat, but that's to be expected.
"Incredible information"
Be prepared to get your mind blown. Incredible ways to increase your overall health. Highly recommended!
"Must to be our health care future"
This information clearly shows how lost our current "health care " approach is. It proposes an alternative health paradigm that is well balanced, logical and empowered. Even though its very scientifically minded is easy to follow and understand. Brilliant book! kudos to the authors' vision and genius!
"Great info, conflicting research beyond the book."
The audio is great. The content the same. I especially enjoyed chapter 7.
There is conflicting thoughts and speculation on Robert Becker's research into pemf therapy. Many who follow Becker's work are convinced he was ultimately against it because it wasn't tested enough to know long term effects if using it every day. Pulsed frequency is not the same as unidirectional magnetics from the earth.
I do need to do some more research into Becker's work before drawing own conclusions, but I do see the value in this book and the potential of this therapy, especially as a short term therapy for people stuck in chronic sickness or those suffering acute inflammation of any kind. Not sold on the long term safety yet.
"Boojk packs a whole lot of punch"
You get all the background information on health in general a Holistic approach that includes PEMF. I would read anything this gentleman has to say on health
"An Education"
I learned quite a bit about the human body - and the physics of biological life. The author explains complex ideas in layman's terms. A valuable education. Well narrated and well written.
"Brilliant Research / Rvolutionary"
Yes iit contains critical health and wellbeing information about fields of energy and the human body. This book is essential reading.
The Author
The entire book
Buy this book.
"Great Information and Narrator was awesome!"
Great Info, lots of research backed info, read extremely well!
Great Info and Loved the recommendations as well. I appreciated the author making recommendations on the products that can help the reader instead of researching.
Just one word - Awesome! I have listened to other narrators and they seem extremely dull and Jeff sounded like he was the writer and just a pleasure to listen to!
It was very good info. I have been studying various vibrational healing modalities so this was another one to add to great info!
For anyone who is looking to investigate vibrational/frequency based energy healings, this book is fascinating and backed with lots of great research from various resources. I really enjoyed listening to the content while driving back from vacation. Thank you for great content!
"Best book."
The best book on health I have ever come across , hands down. A must read.
"Sales Pitch"
About thesame
Ease up on the sales pitch. Less repetition regarding how much he, himself has invested in this product.
It takes me time to read so I get through the book quicker
Not really
Would like to build my own . Is there a kit out there

Local Pharmacist and Technician Attend Compounding Training Class
Jim Spanopoulos, R.Ph and Stacy Anderson recently attended a four-day pharmacy compounding training course in Houston, Texas. Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA) hosted pharmacists and pharmacy technicians from the United States and Canada at its hands-on Comprehensive Compounding Course (C3). Compounding is the pharmacy method of custom-preparing medications to meet each prescriber's and patient's individual needs.
At PCCA's training course, Fagen Pharmacy compounded a number of dosage forms, including gels, lip balms, tropical preparations, veterinary preparations, and capsules. Different flavorings were taste-tested and multiple options for medications were presented.
"Many patients are allergic to preservatives or dyes, or are sensitive to standard drug strengths says," Jim Spanopoulos. "With a physician's prescription, a compounding pharmacist can change the strength of a medication, alter its form to make it easier for the patient to ingest, and add flavor to it to make it more palatable. The pharmacist also can prepare the medication using several unique delivery systems, such as a lozenge, lollipop, or transdermal gel. Preparing these customized medications allows compounding pharmacists to achieve their ultimate goal: to help the physician and patient achieve a more positive therapeutic outcome."
The compounding lab will be open for operation in Fagen Pharmacy's Valparaiso pharmacy at 3125 N. Calumet Avenue.
Fagen Pharmacy is an independently owned and operated chain with 22 locations serving Northwest Indiana and Illinois.

Police say a paparazzo was hit by a car and killed after taking photos of Justin Bieber's Ferrari sports car in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles police Officer James Stoughton says the man died at a hospital Tuesday evening. Stoughton says Bieber was not in the car at the time.
Sgt. Rudy Lopez told the Los Angeles Times that the pop star's friend was driving the car when it was pulled over for a traffic stop. It was parked on a busy street when the photographer arrived.
Police say the man was struck by a car as he returned to his own car.
Stoughton says no charges are expected against the motorist who hit the man.
"While I was not present nor directly involved with this tragic accident, my thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim," Bieber said in a statement. "Hopefully this tragedy will finally inspire meaningful legislation and whatever other necessary steps to protect the lives and safety of celebrities, police officers, innocent public bystanders, and the photographers themselves."

Green Your Car Wash
Traditional car wash fundraisers can cause water pollution if wash water flows to the storm drain. Water from washing cars not only contains dirt and soap, but also oil, grease, and metals such as copper, nickel, and zinc. Dirty wash water from car wash fundraisers held in parking lots or on the street flows into the storm drains and goes straight to local creeks and the Bay without any treatment.
Water Use Rules
When using a hose for car washing, a shut-off nozzle that shuts off automatically when the handle is released is required.
View Water Use Rules
Partner with a Commercial Car Wash
Commercial car washes, including those at gas stations, drain wash water to local wastewater treatment facilities that remove pollutants. Commercial car washes also use water efficient technology, and often recycle the wash water.
Contact local commercial car washes for discounted passes that you can sell at a higher price to raise funds.
Hold the event at a commercial car wash and ask them to donate part of the profits if you help to advertise.
Partner with a self-serve car wash to host the event at their facility and wash cars for tips.
For questions, please call 408-945-3000.

Cinema returns to a landmark Blackpool venue tonight – 39 years after it closed.
Films were showed regularly at the Opera House at the Winter Gardens from 1939 to 75.
Then, with audiences dwindling because of the emergence of television, the cinema screen was ripped out.
Now though, almost four decades on, the venue has spent £130,00 installing a new screen, surround sound, and a new projection system so hi-tec it can be controlled by remote-control backstage.
"Gone are the days when someone had to sit all night in the projection room," said Winter Gardens marketing manager Anthony Williams.
But first question is why bring cinema back to the venue?
"Well first of all the idea is to make the venue much more diverse because the Winter Gardens as a show venue will only be in operation for around 100-200 nights a year, so we were looking for other ways we could use it," said Williams.
"We went back to our past and looked at how it was used before, how we could use it going forward and cinema seemed an obvious answer.
"Why do we think it will be a success? Because the Winter Gardens is completely different, the Opera House especially. We are offering something different to what, say, the Odeon are or places like that because we are offering a whole experience.
"It's isn't just coming to watch a film, it is being engaged in an absolute magnificent venue, watching some of the greatest films of all time, as well as high art movies. It is about buying into an experience as opposed to just watching a film ... and you can get popcorn too, and wine!"
The new era of cinema at the Opera House kicks off tonight with the Oscar-winning Gravity – free of charge. Tonight there's the Prince movie Purple Rain, tomorrow live satellite feed from the Royal Albert Hall of BBC Radio 2's D-Day 70th Anniversary Concert.
"That's the good thing about it," added Williams. "We are looking at a really diverse range of programming that will appeal to everybody – modern movies, all-time classics, but also high arts like Nureyev and the English National Opera."
*For information on the Opera House cinema and upcoming films and prices go to www.wintergardensblackpool.co.uk
Tickets for tonight's screening of Gravity are FREE but you must book your place by contacting the venue or registering on the website.

Washington, May 21 (ANI): NASA and industry engineers successfully completed the first test of the Ares I rocket's three main parachutes on May 21, which are the largest rocket parachutes ever manufactured.
The parachutes are designed to slow the rapid descent of the rocket's spent first-stage motor, permitting its recovery for use on future flights.
The Ares I, the first rocket in NASA's Constellation Program, is designed to launch explorers aboard the Orion crew capsule on journeys to the International Space Station, the moon and beyond.
The three main parachutes measure 150 feet in diameter and weigh 2,000 pounds each.
They are a primary element of the rocket's deceleration system, which also includes a pilot parachute and drogue parachute.
Deployed in a cluster, the main parachutes open at the same time, providing the drag necessary to slow the descent of the huge solid rocket motor to a soft landing in the ocean.
"The successful main chute cluster test today confirms the development and design changes we have implemented for the Ares I first stage recovery system," said Ron King, Ares I first stage deceleration subsystem manager for the Ares Projects at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
"Thanks to our great, collaborative team, the test went as anticipated, and all of our design objectives were met," he added.
Engineers from Marshall managed the team that conducted this first cluster test at the U.S. Army's Yuma Proving Ground near Yuma, Arizona.
This was the eighth in an ongoing series of flight tests supporting development of the Ares I recovery system.
Researchers dropped the 41,500-pound load from a U.S. Air Force C-17 aircraft flying at an altitude of 10,000 feet. The parachutes and all test hardware functioned properly and landed safely.
As the test series progresses, engineers will perform three classifications of testing: development, design load and overload.
Each level of testing is designed to fully test the performance of the new parachute design with different size payloads under varying conditions.
The next test in the cycle, scheduled for fall 2009, will involve the first design limit load test of a single main parachute. (ANI)

Trans Resort indulged us on every level. We were as relaxed as anyone could be with pampering from spa and massage, quality foods and beverages in relaxed environments and service from beautiful, humble and extremely competent staff. Highly recommend anyone to experience such comfort and joy at Trans."TripAdvisor
Every aspect of our stay was enjoyable. The hotel is beautifully presented and has a friendly ambiance, plus the staff went out of their way to ensure any query or request was actioned immediately. The swimming pool contains a pristine white sand base, for younger children and transformed the pool into a beach environment. Feels as though you are walking into the ocean rather than a pool and the younger children can play safely. The hotel provides numerous toys. Enjoyed every moment."TripAdvisor
A wow resort hotel with unique features - pool, man-made sandy beach, spectacular roof-top bar. The enormous bed & pillows were the best we have ever experienced. The staff were, to a person, exceptional. The hotel's location was very convenient to a variety of unforgettable world class restaurants. The Trans was Bali at its best."TripAdvisor

Officials at the University of Texas at El Paso say they've reopened the campus hours after a reported bomb threat led to a full evacuation.
UTEP said in a statement Tuesday night that the campus was reopened at 7 p.m. MDT.
Students and staff were told at 2 p.m. that a bomb threat had been received and they should evacuate. UTEP Police Chief Cliff Walsh said the evacuation was a precaution.
Walsh declined to detail the threat or say whether police had a suspect, citing their ongoing investigation.
Classes will resume on Wednesday.
UTEP is the latest university campus in the state to receive a bomb threat in recent months.
El Paso is a U.S.-Mexico border city in far West Texas. UTEP has more than 22,000 students enrolled.

Inside Facebook's massive cyber-security system
FACEBOOK has released details of the extraordinary security infrastructure it uses to fight off spam and other cyber-scams.
Known as the Facebook Immune System (FIS), the massive defence network appears to be successful: numbers released by the company this week show that less than 1 per cent of users experience spam. Yet it's not perfect. Researchers have built a novel attack that evaded the cyber-defences and extracted private material from real users' Facebook accounts.
It took just three years for FIS to evolve from basic beginnings into an all-seeing set of algorithms that monitors every photo posted to the network, every status update– indeed, every click made by every one of the 800 million users. There are more than 25 billion of these "read and write actions" every day. At peak activity the system checks 650,000 actions a second.
"It's a big challenge," says Jim Larus, a Microsoft researcher in Redmond, Washington, who studies large networks. The only network bigger, Larus suspects, is the web itself. That makes Facebook's defence system one of the largest in existence.
It protects against scams by harnessing artificially intelligent software to detect suspicious patterns of behaviour. The system is overseen by a team of 30 people, but it can learn in real time and is able to take action without checking with a human supervisor.
One notable attack took place in April, says Tao Stein, a Facebook engineer who works on the system. It began when several users were duped into copying computer code into their browser's address bar.

As I was walking to work, I noticed a great deal of chestnuts lying around in the park, so I was thinking I would grab a bag and pick some up on the way home.
What do I do with them then? I remember someone in college microwaving them, and they were quite good (scored the top, I believe, then just popped them in)
What else? I know they're everywhere this time of year, so other people must have thoughts

Glenn Dyer's TV ratings: Mad As Hell for Micallef
The Biggest Loser continues to drag down Ten in the ratings.
Mar 6, 2014
The Biggest Loser continues to drag down Ten in the ratings.
Seven's night, more easily than the previous nights this week. Ten was again relegated to fourth spot in metro and regional markets. Nine was let down by the slump in the audience for the second episode of Inside Story — it lost 30% (or 300,000 viewers) in its metro audience. It had 1.054 million viewers (and 700,000 metro) against more than 1.4 million national viewers for the debut and 1.003 million metro. More Masterchef on My Kitchen Rules on Seven last night. MKR had 2.410 million national/ 1.609 million metro/ 801,000 regional viewers). That was its lowest metro audience so far this season. A message there.
Another very weak night for Ten, despite the return of Puberty Blues to the line up. For whatever reasons Ten held this series over from last year. There has been a lot of rose-tinted chat about how wonderful this program is –the reality was that it was sunk by The Biggest Loser as the lead-in (484,000 national/325,000 metro/ 159,000 regional viewers) and viewer boredom with the program. Puberty Blues had 746,000 national/ 538,000 metro/ 208,000 regional viewers. There was a jump in the audience, but it was nowhere near enough to cover the costs. In fact the Puberty Blues audience started series two half the size of the debut audience for series one (just over a million) two years ago.
But it was another good night for Shaun Micallef on Mad as Hell on ABC1 at 8pm (865,000 national/596,000 metro/ 269,000 regional viewers). Like The Checkout tonight on ABC1, Mad As Hell is a program only the ABC can do because commercial networks (including Foxtel), won't do them for a combination of political and business reasons. Both programs have the power to upset political or commercial sponsors of commercial media. In the morning, Katy Perry boosted Sunrise's audience which averaged 355,000 metro viewers — but Today shed viewers to fall back under 300,000 to 273,000 metro watchers. The first session of the final day of the third cricket test had 368,000 viewers for the regular session and 283,000 for the extras half hour. Very solid.

The logo for the 2010 Breeders' Cup World Championships was unveiled Oct. 29 by the Breeders' Cup and Churchill Downs, the Louisville track that will be hosting the two-day racing event for a record seventh time. The 2010 Breeders' Cup is scheduled for Nov. 5-6.
According to the release, the 2010 logo incorporates Breeders' Cup's purple with the Thoroughbred mark in the center of the logo and the twin spires at Churchill Downs shaded in silver with the center circle enveloped by a silver outer ring. The words "World Championships" are placed in an arc over the top of the logo and "Churchill Downs" under the circle.
"Combined, the logo captures the prestige of the Breeders' Cup with the timeless architecture associated with the twin spires of Churchill Downs," according to the release.
This year's Breeders' Cup will be held at the Oak Tree Racing Meet at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, Calif. and consists of 14 races and $25.5 million in purses on Friday, Nov. 6 and Saturday, Nov. 7 and will be televised on ABC and ESPN and in 130 countries.

Residents turned in more than five trash-can size containers full of prescription drugs at the recent National Rx Drug Take-back Day.
The El Dorado Hills Community Vision Coalition "for safe, healthy and drug-free youth" collaborated with the El Dorado Sheriff's Office to host the event.
"We know that teens are primarily finding the drugs in unlocked medicine cabinets in the homes of their families, friends and neighbors," said DJ Peterson, executive director of the Vision Coalition. "We also know that they are sharing or selling them to other teenagers and the result has been lethal for at least two young adults in El Dorado Hills in the last year-and-a-half."
Bryan Golmitz, PIO for El Dorado Sheriff's Department, commented, "We are pleased to help prevent and reduce the illegal use of prescription drugs. Law enforcement agencies and the federal DEA throughout the nation have agreed that this is a serious problem and are working together with community organizations like the EDH Vision Coalition to do something about it. Sheriff D'Agostini attended the event to show his personal support to save lives through this important program. He is committed to doing his part to make a difference."
The coalition is working to make Rx drug collection a convenient and routine activity by placing a permanent, secure drop box in local pharmacies. Patrons can deposit their prescription drugs while shopping or waiting to fill a new prescription. The Sheriff's Department has agreed to partner with the coalition by routinely collecting and disposing of discarded prescriptions.
"We have approached all of our local pharmacies in El Dorado Hills, including Target, CVS, Raley's and Safeway to host an approved drug collection bin and we are now awaiting approval," said Peterson. "While this is a fairly new idea, it is only a matter of time before Rx collection bins are common country-wide."
The non-profit vision coalition is petitioning organizations and individuals for donations to help purchase the bins which cost about $800. For more information visit edhVisionCoalition.org or call (916) 941-8482.

Holy crap, they released it under the title of Rememberance? Jesus...
Yes, this sounds very solid. Thanks for the rec.
quite generic...seriously I first trusted you but this band will be forgotten very soon

Reminds me of that accident that I See Stars had when they released 3D
Album Rating: 2.0
Using the phrases "potential" and "metalcore" in the same sentence is arrogant,
but in this case it fits perfectly. Grabbing you the instant you play the first track, this sampling is an example of stunning dynamic intensity.
I think the band name is just badass
Well it's not like they made up the name. After me, the flood is a common saying.
Album Rating: 4.0This album is awesome. Its still the same old metalcore, but I like it a lot.

OverviewThe Mittlerer Seelenkogel is located in the main ridge area of the ötztaler Alps. The mountain is located in a part of the Main ridge that is called the Gurgler ridge. Named after the villages in the valley. This ridge is bordered by the Hochwilde and the Timmelsjoch road.
Most of the more famous mountains of the Main ridge are located on the border between Austria and Italy. Not the Mittlerer Seelenkogel, although the border is close to the summit.
As the name already tells, this mountain is situated between the Vorderer and the Hinterer Seelenkogel. Especially the Hinterer Seelenkogel is often climbed. This because of the easy and short acces from the Italian side. The mountain is pretty often climbed in both summer and winter. Particulair the Langtalereck Hut is a nice mountain hut to stay when you're planning to climb the Seelenkogels.
The normal route is not very difficult, which make the climb enjoyable for many mountaineers. The summit offers you a great view
towards the ötztaler Alps.
Getting ThereIn general:
# From Austria (Innvalley): On the Inntalautobahn A12 take the driveway Ötztal. All the way through the Ötztal B186 to Obergurgl (about 50km).
# From Italy (Meran): take road to the Passeier Valley (SS44). Follow it untill St. Leonard. There take the Timmelsjoch road (SS44 BIS) and cross the border. Descent on the Austrian side and take the driveway to Obergurgl (L15). (Tol Road, see this page)
To the Langtalereck Hut:
The way to the Langtalereck Hut is pretty shot. You can even shorten the way by using one of the cable car's (Gaisberg). Normaly it will take you about 1-2 hours to reach the Hut, depending on using the cable car.
RoutesNormal route from the Langtalereck Hut:
The easiest way to get to the summit of the Mittlerer Seelenkogel is over the northwest flank/ridge. From the Hut take the path that leeds you to the Seelenglacier. There you have a few options, but most people take the easy north ridge. Cross the Seelenglacier to the lowest point of the north ridge and follow the easy and short ridge to the summit.

Normally the climb will take you about 3-4 hours.
# West ridge, rocky ridge with some easy climbing. Be aware of loose rock!
# Northwest flank, short ice climb.
# Southeast ridge, normal way from Italy.

A technical line passing an odd white circle on the rock has some thin moves and feels a teeny bit bold.
Quite pleasant but with a couple of long reaches which may be why some think it hard for the grade? It would be better with its own lower-off to avoid the long scramble up right.
