Friedrich Froebel, a German educator was born April 21, 1782.
At the tender age of one,
Friedrich' s mother passed away. He was left to the care of his father who never seemed to have time for him.
As a small child, Friedrich lacked the time, attention, and love that is often needed for one to adequately grow and thrive (Biography of Friedrich Froebel, 2014).
"Children are like tiny flowers: They are varied and need care, but each is beautiful alone and glorious when seen in the community of peers." - Friedrich Froebel (1782-1852)
The Educational Contributions of Friedrich Froebel
The First Kindergarten
founded in 1837
"In 1837 Friedrich Froebel founded his own school and called it "kindergarten," or the children's garden" (Pioneers in the Field, 2014).
A long strip of land became an essential part of the Kindergarten where the children planted and nurtured flowers, fruit and vegetables (Friedrich Froebel Time Line, 2014).
"Children are like tiny flowers; they are varied and need care, but each is beautiful alone and glorious when seen in the community of peers." (Provenzo, 2009)
Froebel passed away in 1852 (Friedrich Froebel Time Line, 2014).
The Biography of Friedrich Froebel
The Father of Kindergarten
Friedrich Froebel
Friedrich Froebel was the son a of a Lutheran minister, who was deeply wrought by his religious upbringing and his experiences as a child.
In 1792, Froebel went to live with his uncle as a result of an unfavorable relationship with his dad and step-mother.
Froebel worked as a forester's apprentice. It was during this time that he learned how to observe, describe, draw, and investigate and to make decisions.
Froebel's work as a forester's apprentice and a mineralogist led him to gain a deeper appreciation of nature; and through nature, Friedrich developed a profound awareness and understanding of God and religion (Provenzo, 2009).
Froebel believed that nature played a colossal role in how children learn, and that education should begin shortly after a child is born.
Froebel was fascinated with the likes and writings of Friedrich von Schelling's 1802 Bruno, or The Natural and the Divine Principle of Things, which further deepened his understanding of nature and his interconnection to and of all things.
Froebel also believed in the nature and spiritual capacity of the child, thus creating his theory of play: that children have an innate need for play. Froebel's theory of play states that all children should be actively engaged and involved in meaningful play (Provenzo, 2009) &(Pulliam, 2013).
Froebel used his own childhood experiences, education, work experiences, connections with nature and the works of Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Swiss educator Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, and Friedrich von Schelling to fashion the first Kindergarten (Provenzo, 2009) . Based on the teaching of Pestalozzi, Froebel accepted his first teaching position at Frankfurt Model School where he applied his hands on learning approach (Pioneers in the Field, 2014).
Today's Kindergarten
Froebel's theory of play and the emergence of kindergarten continue to have a profound effect on education today. Research continues to reveal that children who attend quality kindergartens are more likely to go on to college and become productive citizens. A study conducted as recent as 2011 revealed that skills taught in kindergarten; the same skills that Froebel believed in, are lifelong skills that teach children valuable lessons in becoming productive and respectful adults.
As a former kindergarten teacher, I continuously witnessed the growth and development of many kindergarten students as they learned the world around them through play. For many students, kindergarten is their first educational and social setting. They quickly learn the world around them by interacting with others and being exposed to various physical and social experiences that they may not otherwise be exposed to (The Importance of Kindergarten, 2014).

Shikou Mibuya: I'll save you little boy! Let's go to a world only with men! A dazzling world!
Fumiko: He doesn't like sausages. Too bad.(Castle of Shikigami 3)
I didn't play very long, but I can say that the new turret is definitely fun. I can't say if it's better or worse yet, but it's fun.
It's also the only item I bought and the only one I plan on buying. I can't give up my thumper, and the new repair "grenade" didn't really convince me yet.
My PC: http://www.sysprofile.de/id150256
I have not unlocked them yet however I have seen them in action and have to say the new turret is pretty underpowered. It's firing rate seems way too slow and the damage inadequate. Maybe it was not fully upgraded but that was my initial impressions and I could easily be wrong.
Hugh Manatee 5 years ago#4
Nah, I've tried it, it's projectile is way slower, even at it's max range, the guy has to be like standing still to get hit. You can set up neat little traps, like when juggs are spamming on drydock's cliff or you can set it up around a blind corner, but it's not any better then the laser turret outdoors. Indoors if you set up a few they're pretty mean, they can shoot down halls well though.
the repair mine is awesome, you can make "shrike nest", where you put a bunch down and hover over then for repairs without getting out. They work with your repair gun, and/or you can leave them around stuff you don't want to stand by, like if there's an inf in your base, drop the thingees by your gen and take a walk. I will definitely miss the quickfuses but these little guys are very useful. It also gives you an excuse to take the sawed-off(my favorite gun... BAM! BAM!). Basically it lets the TCN play more roaming LD, it's weapons are very effective in a brawl.
The new plasma thing is sorta underwhelming, it's ok to spam the base for cloaked infs i guess but I don't see how it's a replacement for the strong burst of the thumper or the DPS of the TCN4.

I think the new Tech items are pretty awful generally speaking.
Mind you, I haven't played for a few weeks now, so I spent most of today's playtime shaking off the rust, but from what I've seen, there isn't much new or interesting to the way Techs play. The only thing that seems like it might be worth the unlock is that nifty auto-repair kit.
The TC24 is terrible. The only thing it really has going for it is the rate of fire and clip size, but the damage is abysmal. However, the real problem is that even if they were to boost the damage, the functionality of the TC24 is too similar to the Thumper's domain of use to bother with. I've been hoping that the Soldier or TCN would get something along the lines of the HNY Badger, so this TC24 is a huge disappointment.
The new turret is also a huge disappointment. Compared to the rate of fire and utility the test version had, the release has been ridiculously nerfed. As someone pointed out and I eventually confirmed in-game today, the turret in fact fires at such a slow rate (and fires such a slow projectile) that you can get to it and melee it with impunity. Not only have I not been killed a single time by it, but it doesn't even hit reliably enough to deal significant damage. Sad turret is sad.
No comment on the skin.

Agreed. From what I've seen new gun and new turret aren't very good. The repair mine is cool though, for exactly the reasons you specified...lets you run around with the sawed-off :)

A UNESCO document calls for international government reform to make abortion available to all women and adolescent girls without restriction.
"Unwanted Pregnancy and Unsafe Abortion" also suggests that governments should subsidize abortions and offer "redress" to women who have been "denied" access to abortions in countries where abortions are legal, reported C-FAM, the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, in the Oct. 31 edition of their "Friday Fax" newsletter.
"This information has not been reported anywhere before and it is vital that folks all over the world know," said C-FAM president Austin Ruse, whose organization broke the story.
UNESCO produced the document in 2002 but it only surfaced in October with the release of this year's UN Population Fund's State of the World Population report, in which the document is referenced.
The UNESCO document recommends that "governments should make abortion legal, safe, and affordable." It also recommends that governments remove legal restrictions to abortion and family planning services for adolescents and guarantee the adolescents' privacy, reported C-FAM.
It attacks laws that require parental permission for medical abortions, stating that they can deter teenage girls from seeking an abortion from a medical professional and "leave them to seek alternative, illegal and unsafe abortions elsewhere."
The document also seems to support ways to circumvent restrictive legislation to allow for easy access to abortion. It makes particular reference to the situation in Bangladesh, where abortion is illegal but "menstrual regulation services" are available. In menstrual regulation services, physicians can assist up to eight weeks after the last menstrual period.
"This is conveniently considered family planning and not abortion," says the document. "Furthermore, as the anti-abortion law requires proof of pregnancy, 'the use of menstrual regulation makes it virtually impossible to obtain the required proof.' Thus, in practice, early term abortion is available; it is just referred to as menstrual regulation."
The document also cites the situation in India, where "abortion strictly on demand is not allowed, abortion for economic or social reasons is, and a very lenient reading of 'mental health' of the woman effectively legalizes the procedure in all circumstances."
In another document, entitled "Review of International Standards for Rights of the Child and Adolescent Rights," UNESCO describes how to pressure individual nations to adopt less restrictive legislation regarding adolescent reproductive rights, saying that it is now possible "to hold countries accountable on the basis of human rights violations."

Changing power plan also change wallpaper.
Hello to all,
As my title says i just want to do that particular thing, if possible. I have a samsung laptop that has a preintalled program that changes to silent mode(low consumption)- normal mode and speed mode (high cunsuption plan). When i change to low or high plan i want to also change to one particular wallpaper that i want. (Made myself). If it is possible let me know. If it's not, let me know again and stop my hopes for it.
Any help should and is appreciated!
Thanks for your time.

Soto, welcome to Sevenforums.
I do not have access to this program, so I don't know. If I had to guess, I would say no, it is not possible.
Windows has similar features for power consumption: power-saving, balanced, and high performance. These are probably more reliable than a preinstalled program. You can probably pin Control Panel to your Start Menu Task Bar, right click it and select Power options if you are looking for a fast way to access those options (see picture):
From windows, you cannot change the 'wallpaper' at the same time. However, if you RIGHT-click the desktop and select Personalize, it will open a window in which you can change the Desktop background. Select that option and choose whatever picture you would like at the moment. You can also have the computer cycle through pictures with the option at the bottom when you select multiple pictures.
For another option: you can install the Bing Destop optional update, in which Microsoft will download temporary pictures when you startup your computer. A new picture every day.

Well thanks for your help, in the ferst place. I was a little misdleading. As i said the program haw these 3 options which DO change hte power plans of the windows. However it is possibly proved that this with the wallpaper is not yet possible. Thanks anyway for your answer. I found a possible solution to this by making 3 different personal custom themes and changing manually. Thanks again in advance.

ACA Turns Two; Has it Improved Quality of Care?
Lawmakers clearly put a heavy emphasis on quality of care when they crafted the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The word "quality" appears 563 times.
But is there any evidence this law, which marks its second birthday this week, has improved quality of care?
Sure, it has made healthcare more affordable with reduced cost-sharing and expanded coverage without lifetime caps for millions of people.
And yes, the law's rules are saving consumers $17.7 billion in prescription drug costs, are allowing 45 million women to receive preventive care with no cost-sharing, and are cutting red tape to eliminate $4.5 billion providers would otherwise spend. Each day brings another press release about how the ACA has improved access to care or reduced its cost to consumers.
But do patients today have a better chance they'll get the right care at the right time? Are the odds better that they won't be infected or otherwise injured by hospital teams and doctors in the process?
And are providers now avoiding more readmissions, saving more lives, preventing more harm, and providing patients with a more prompt and pleasant healthcare experience? Or do we have to wait a few more years to see these results?
I'm going with "yes" and "no"—with caveats.

Trafigura director Claude Dauphin may yet stand trial after a ship his company chartered dumped waste that allegedly killed 17 people in the Ivory Coast, the Dutch Supreme Court said Tuesday.
"The appeals court in Amsterdam must judge anew whether (Dauphin) can be tried" for the 2006 incident, the court said in a written judgment, annulling an earlier decision of that court not to pursue him.
It found the Amsterdam court had erred in its reasoning when it upheld a challenge by Dauphin against his prosecution.
Trafigura, whose chartered ship the Probo Koala dumped the waste in Ivory Coast, is charged with breaking Dutch environment and waste export laws and faces a two-million-euro fine at its trial in the Netherlands.
Prosecutors accused Dauphin of having been in charge of the illegal export of waste to an African country.
The company, which denies any link between the waste and casualties and has an independent experts' report backing its stance, has reached out of court settlements in both the Ivory Coast and Britain.
But a United Nations report published last September found "strong" evidence blaming the waste for at least 15 deaths and several hospitalisations.

Neff guides his Funny Car to Houston victory on NHRA Full Throttle Series
Mike Neff powered his Castrol GTX Ford Mustang past Ron Capps' NAPA Auto Parts Dodge Charger R/T in the final round of eliminations. Neff's 4.239 second pass at 301.67 mph was too much for Capps, who hazed the tires in the Texas heat and clocked a 4.476 second pass at 211.79 mph.

BAYTOWN, Texas – Mike Neff continued John Force Racing's dominance in Funny Car as he raced to his first victory of the 2012 season Sunday at the 25th annual O'Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Spring Nationals presented by Super Start Batteries at Royal Purple Raceway. With the win, Neff gave John Force Racing its sixth consecutive win to open the season.
Morgan Lucas (Top Fuel), Vincent Nobile (Pro Stock) and Andrew Hines (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also earned victories at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series event near Houston.
Neff powered his Castrol GTX Ford Mustang past Ron Capps' NAPA Auto Parts Dodge Charger R/T in the final round of eliminations. Neff's 4.239 second pass at 301.67 mph was too much for Capps, who hazed the tires in the Texas heat and clocked a 4.476 second pass at 211.79 mph.
"This whole race was one of a kind," Neff said. "To not be qualified until the last session and then have a wacky couple of rounds today was a nail-biter. Racing Jim Head, my old buddy, it took so long for the Tree to come on. I never let go of the brake but I blipped the throttle. Thankfully, I was staged shallow so I didn't red-light. I looked down and saw green so I legged it and then it smoked the tires. It was a total mistake on my part as a driver and a crew chief."
Neff struggled during qualifying and made it into the 16-car field during the final qualifying session in the heat of the day Saturday. That tune up proved to be what the JFR driver needed throughout Sunday's eliminations as he beat first round foe Head, top qualifier Cruz Pedregon and defending event winner Jeff Arend en route to his seventh career Funny Car victory.
Neff is currently second in the NHRA Full Throttle point standings behind his JFR teammate Robert Hight, who saw his four race win streak snapped with a semifinal loss to Capps.
"That was a heck of a string he had going," Neff said about Hight. "That's hard to do in Funny Car or any class for that matter. I'm just glad I could keep the string going for John Force Racing. I feel pressure but that's just the business we're in. We're a top team and we were built on winning. I feel it, but I don't get pressure from John or anyone else. Just myself."
In Top Fuel, Lucas proved that he is a championship contender with his win Sunday as he posted low e.t. during each round of eliminations. The GEICO/Lucas Oil dragster outran Antron Brown's Matco Tools dragster in the final round with his 3.848 second pass at 320.81 to Brown's losing 5.894 second pass at 117.05 mph.
"I'm just as proud as can be for this race team, the whole GEICO pit area, and my parents (Forrest and Charlotte)," Lucas said. "Just to be able to go up to the starting line on race day and feel like you can beat anybody is a feeling that I've never had before. This is probably the first time in my career, Top Alcohol Dragster included, that I've ever had low e.t. of every round of eliminations."
Lucas started from the No. 1 qualifying spot for the fourth time of the season and the win moved him to third in points. With the runner-up finish Brown took over the series points lead.
Nobile earned his first Pro Stock win of the season by outrunning veteran driver Dave Connolly in the final round. Nobile's 6.595 second pass at 210.14 in his Mountain View Tire Dodge Avenger edged Connolly's 6.604 second pass at 210.41 mph in his Alamo Iron Works/KLR Group Chevy Cobalt to claim his second consecutive win in Houston.
"It's an amazing feeling [to win this event two years in a row]," said Nobile, who beat Greg Stanfield, Larry Morgan and Mike Edwards to advance to the final. "In the semis, we actually had to swap motors in that short amount of time [before the final] and the crew did it with now flaws and everything was perfect. The crew produces a really fast race car. I owe it to all of them. My dad taught me everything I know about driving a race car and drag racing period.This win is a win for the both of us. He never won a Wally because he never had the power. But now we're doing it both together."
Nobile's win moved him from fifth to third in the series standings.
Hines used a perfect reaction time to beat sophomore rider Hector Arana Jr. in the final round in Pro Stock Motorcycle. Arana's 6.886 second pass at 196.33 mph on his Lucas Oil Buell was quicker than Hines' 6.905 second pass at 194.52 mph on his Screamin' Eagle Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson, but Hines won the race on the starting line.
"I knew I'd need a good light, but I wasn't expecting a .000," Hines said. "I'm lucky I didn't roll in an eighth of an inch more or I'd have red-lighted. We had to add 20-pounds so I figured I'd need to win on a holeshot in order to have a chance, especially after he [Hector Jr.] ran that 6.84 in the semifinals."
Hines has won this event three years in a row and he is now the series leader in Pro Stock Motorcycle.
"I knew this was the 25th anniversary of this race so I really wanted to win that silver Wally," Hines said.
The NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series continues with the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, Ga., May 4-6.

Kollytalk earlier carried out first duties from the trenches reporting following the appealing Ilavarasi heroine Reema Sen's close connection with one Shiv Karan Singh (owner of famous restaurants and bars viz. Smokehouse Grill, Mocha bar and Mocha).Even though Shiv was quite happy all the while he was desperately waiting for a positive nod from Reema's side. When last asked Shiv said that the relationship was going strong and he even had proposed to Reema going down on his knees (he didn't remember the rest as he honestly admitted of being too drunk )
Now Reema has happily agreed to have Shiv as her better half, officially announcing her marriage with Shiv for the next year (the date will be decided in a month's time). The decision has been taken with the consent of Reema's parents who were happy to know that her daughter has finally found some-buddy to love. The wait was on for more than six months and now the W-day will have to wait for another year since Reema has bagged some fruitful offers after her stunning performance in Ilavarasi.
We wish both Reema and Shiv a happy married life.

text: By Robert Farago March 28, 2007 A commentator named Peakay recently posed a pointed question: "Do you guys like anything?" While there are plenty of positive reviews hereabouts, I understand Peakey's frustration. When ttac.com publishes a rash of reviews describing nasty looking, badly built, dynamically dim-witted vehicles, the negativity eats away at this car lover's soul. Which made the prospect of reviewing the Cadillac XLR-V a daunting proposition. I really wanted to like this car. Walking up to the XLR-V did nothing to dampen my anticipation, and much to increase it. The roadster is the only Caddy that doesn't wear the brand's "Art and Science" motif like an aging prostitute sporting a K-Mart pants suit. The XLR-V's creased fiberglass strikes the perfect balance between edgy aggression and proportional elegance. The model-specific hood strakes and wire mesh grill add welcome wickedness to a minimalist masterpiece. This is one of the few convertibles that sings the same siren song whether the lid's fitted or flipped. With the hardtop deployed, the XLR-V offers more chop top chic than Chrysler's gangsta 300C. With the top down, it's sexy enough to run with ze Germans and Jags of the world. Either way, the XLR-V is confidently Cadillac, without resorting to Elvis-era clichés (although the taillight design pokes fun at the whole fin thing). If only the other Caddies had such great bones. I'd like to say I walked up to the XLR-V and discovered one of the smoothest paint jobs you'll find outside of Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance. I'd like to say that the XLR-V's trunk hinges were free from duct taped wiring and an exposed fuse, and that the teeny tiny little trunk (sausage shaped and smaller than ONE of the Boxster's boots) wasn't covered in the same rat fur blighting last week's DTS. Unfortunately, the XLR-V put OCD boy right back in bean counted Hell. Damn my eyes! Niggling little faults I wouldn't even think to check in a Mercedes SL clamored for my attention. The driver's portal slammed shut with a resounding thunk– and the panel housing the window switches vibrated independently of the door. The disappearing tin top performed an artful ballet– with all the jerkiness of an arthritis sufferer tying his shoes. The Zingana (son of Zebrano?) wood surrounding the shifter was silken to the touch– and looked like a faded panel from my parent's old rec room. Although iPoditude and Bluetoothedness are MIA, there are toys aplenty, including a way cool head-up display. Still, there's no getting around it: the XLR-V's interior is a little, um, cheap. The plastic speedo bezel emblazoned Bulgari is more airport duty free than Fifth Avenue swank. The material surrounding the vents is ew-inducing. How much would it have cost to upgrade the convertible's cabin materials, or provide some chairs with a bit more lateral bolstering than a La-Z-Boy recliner? Cadillac apologists are free to deploy the old Ferrari defense: Caddy sells you an engine and throws in the car for free. Even before the supercharger kicks in, it's clear the XLR-V's 443-horse 4.4-liter Northstar V8 is a serious torquemeister. Tickle the go-pedal and the big Caddy gently kneels on your lower back. Floor it and mayhem is your co-pilot. The XLR-V accelerates from zero to sixty in 4.6 seconds and hits the quarter in 13. Do you believe in muscle cars Miss Turner? WELL YOU'RE IN ONE. This much is clear the moment you throw the 4000lbs. drop top into some curves. With 19" rubber and Magnetic Ride Control at all four corners, the XLR-V stays flat, level and griptastic deep into lateral G-land. But unless the pavement is glassine, confidence is low. Over broken pavement, the XLR-V has no natural handling fluency whatsoever. You could just wrestle the beast around the bends (in the great muscle car tradition)– if those support challenged seats didn't make it such a supremely uncomfortable exercise. Better then, to just stunt and floss and drag race from time to time. And believe me, I'm down with that. The XLR-V is a bit rough around the edges and it ain't no sports car, but the hardtop drop top looks like a genuine Cadillac and goes like Hell. What's more, the XLR-V has an X-factor, an appeal that can't be measured or rationalized. If only it cost $25k less. Yes, there is that. At $100k all-in, the most expensive Cadillac ever is a joke. The similarly-priced Mercedes SL550 is better-looking, better-built, better-handling, far more practical (its trunk is cavernous in comparison), offers less at-speed top down turbulence, doesn't depreciate like a stone thrown into a deep dark well and isn't that much slower. Cadillac should have priced the XLR-V lower or pulled-out all the stops and built a world beater. They did neither and paid the price. (Which is more than you can say for their potential consumers.) That said, I can understand those few hundred people who bought an XLR-V. It's another GM "almost car," but it IS a Cadillac. http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/?p=3395

All they're doing is re-creating bits from The Carol Burnett Show, but it's still going to be funnier than hell. Onstage Tim Conway is the best physical comedian not named Chris Kataan, and Harvey Korman does this thing where he plays it straight but gets pissed off in the process. On Wednesday, Conway and Korman are Together Again at Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth, working through five sketches from the show that made them famous and doing their own stand-up on the side. The individual acts aren't bad, but together there's a rapport and comedic rhythm with these guys. Sometimes, it's difficult for even them to keep a straight face. It's pretty wholesome, too, as if the television censors were still watching. But it's not cheap. You'll slap down three twenties and a ten if you want the best seat in the house and $40 if you don't. Skip a credit card payment and you can bring the kids: The funny these guys offer is not an esoteric funny. There's a show at 6:30 p.m. and another at 9 p.m. Bass Hall's located at 525 Commerce St. in Fort Worth's Sundance Square. Call 817-212-4280 or visit www.basshall.com. --Paul Kix
Music Maam
Errollyn Wallen's classical music is un-stuffy, just like her song titles
Errollyn Wallen composes classical music, but she's not stuffy about it. She takes from jazz, gospel and--dare we say it?--pop. The International Record Review says she's "that rare kind of composer: genuinely new, a breath of fresh air, someone who takes all of our preconceptions and stands them on their heads." Born in Belize and now living in the U.K., Wallen makes her Dallas debut Thursday at the Latino Cultural Center. The concert will include "Dervish" for cello and piano and "Are You Worried About the Rising Cost of Funerals?," which features the string quartet NEO Camerata and the vocal soloist Marion Moore. Wallen will share the spotlight, too. NEO Camerata will also perform works by Dallas-based composer Mark Landson. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 for those under 12 and $15 for everyone else. The Latino Cultural Center is located at 2600 Live Oak St. To reserve seating, call 214-528-5576. --Paul Kix

Dog Gone
Owning an automobile-driving pooch is the aspiration of many a dog lover. While this dream may never come to fruition, the Dallas Children's Theater brings us one step closer with its play Go, Dog, Go!, in which pups operate cars and do other silly things. The play is Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, April 23 through May 23, at the Rosewood Center for Family Arts, 5938 Skillman St. Adult tickets are $15; children's are $13. Call 214-740-0051. --Mary Monigold
Monday Night Fever
Despite the franchised failure of Look Who's Talking, the maudlin mistake that was Michael or the crimes against hair perpetrated in Swordfish, there's no denying the influence and legacy of John Travolta. Come on, homeboy survived Kotter's "sitcom syndrome," rocked a Potsie/Fonzie hybrid in Grease, made women lust after polyester in Saturday Night Fever and persevered to hang on every dorm room wall after Pulp Fiction. Thus, his unscripted lecture engagement (benefiting the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts) with WFAA's Gary Cogill at the Majestic is big-time stuff. At 8 p.m. Monday, see and hear how Travolta went from unassuming Sweathog to vaguely creepy Scientologist. The Majestic Theatre is at 1925 Elm St. Tickets, $35 to $200, are available through Ticketmaster at 214-373-8000. Call 214-932-6030 or visit www.dallasperformingarts.org. --Matt Hursh

Alliance for Medical Research: "Science and Spin"
By Wesley J. Smith — November 24, 2006
My piece in the
Daily Standard
is out today
deconstructing the ridiculous piece of propaganda drivel:
"Regenerative Medicine: Pathway to Cures"
produced by the Houston-based Alliance for Medical Research.
Science depends on intellectual integrity to be, well, science. Pathway to Cures is anti-science because it is profoundly deceptive; in the words it uses, the hyped claims it makes, and it apparent resort to outside fabrication, e.g., chimpanzees have been "cured" with human embryonic stem cells.
What is sad is that I am not the one who should be up in arms about this: "The scientists" should be, because when a supposedly scientific "educational" video is actually mere propaganda, the endeavor of science itself is harmed. It is time for the leaders of the scientific community to begin insisting on accuracy and integrity in debating the various political disputes we have over science and research policy issues. If they don't, in the end the worst casualty will be science itself.

Visitors are only just returning to Cayman Brac after hurricane Paloma hit in 2008. But its unspoilt, rugged charm, is drawing them back to this quirky and least developed island of the Caribbean.
Cayman Brac is a quiet, laid back place consisting of families that mostly stem from the few core settlers of the 1850s. There are only two hotels and 15 restaurants and everything moves along slowly on "island time". Most days fisherman still congregate on the dock to quietly play dominoes, whilst waiting for the groceries to be shipped in.
The Brac hasn't had much attention since Hurricane Paloma. For Brackers, like Tenson Scott, this is a good thing. "We don't want any more crazy American women" he tells me. (Although he is now very good friends with the 'crazy American woman'.) The 70-year-old former fisherman owns the small cottage shop NIM's Things (Native Island Made.) in Spot Bay.
The Brac has fewer sandy beaches than its sisters, Grand Cayman and Little Cayman, but it has plenty of iron shore. And Tenson ventures down to the beach most days to ply Chiton off the ironshore bay. These prehistoric-looking slugs in hard shells are plastered all over the rocks. "We call them sea beef" says Tenson. The Chiton, as well as Caymannite shells and rocks are used to make quirky pieces of jewellery to sell in the shop. Tenson is quite a storyteller, so you might want to form an exit strategy before you go in. He talks about fishing, dogs, and that he definitely doesn't want many more tourists, despite relying on them for business.
I'm taken on a tour of the island by a local guide Keino. He tells me that the south side has only been developed in the last 30 years as Brackians didn't believe it was safe from hurricanes. 'I hope I never have to live through that again' says Keino. He tells me that when Paloma struck, his wife didn't want to leave the house "but she will do if it ever happens again'. He says that they had to smash the windows of their home to ease some of the pressure caused by the winds. 'Next time – and pray to God there isn't a next time – but we will go to a proper shelter, or a cave.'
And Cayman Brac is full of caves. David takes me to the Bluff, to see them. The Bluff is a large limestone wedge-shaped ridge that runs along the spine of the 14-mile long island. It's nearly 30 million years old and starts at sea level in the west end, reaching a height of around 40 meters in the east, the highest point in the Cayman Islands. There are plenty of opportunities for hiking and nature walks on the Bluff. Well marked trails lead to a variety of dramatic caves such as Rebecca's Cave, Peter's Cave and Skull Cave, and easy to follow nature trails lead to the 180 Parrot Reserve. Another of the Bluff's secret treasures is its rock climbing. It's never really been promoted officially, as like free-diving; the government are worried that something could go wrong. But lots of climbers go there under their own steam and the infrastructure is quite simple. Many of the climbers who set up routes on the Bluff have homes on the island and visit several times a year. Bluff View House is a small guest cottage for climbers on the south east coast, and has route maps and ropes you can borrow.
The best time to visit Cayman Brac is from January through to March when the water is still warm and it is mostly dry. (the rainy season is in the summer.)
Free nature tours are available at email@example.com.
Eating and Drinking
For something a little more upmarket, try The Alexander Hotel. Opening in 2009 it strikes a real contrast to the rest of the island's quirky eating establishments. Its poolside restaurant Casa Braca focuses on Caribbean cuisine, with some North America influences. Inside the hotel its elegant restaurant offers sophisticated fine dining and fantastic cocktails- try the French martini - a delicious vodka, Chambord and pineapple concoction.
Other more Bracian places to eat and drink include Edd's Place near the airport in the West End. Locals hang out here in the evening, eating golden jerk .
The Captain's Table at Stake Bay (345 948 1418) has vaguely nautical decor, with oars over and around the bar and pieces of boats forming the restaurant's entryway. Every Saturday night, its karaoke party draws in more business than any other bar on the island. Begin a meal here with shrimp and lobster cocktail or a conch fritter, and then try one of the soups, such as black bean or a tomato-based conch chowder. Main dishes include everything from the catch of the day, often served pan-fried, to barbecue ribs. Lunch features burgers, salads, and sandwiches.
Also try La Esperanza. Found mid way along the north shore at The Creek, it offers an interesting mix of being an American, Caribbean, seafood restaurant, a bar with entertainment, a grocery, car rental, boat dock, four apartments and two rental homes. It also featured as 'the Sand Bar' in the 2010 film Cayman West, the story of a fading Hollywood underwater action star whose life takes on new meaning when he's forced to spend time on Cayman Brac and with the local dive community (948 2252).
The Alexander Hotel also offers 29 comfortable and 29 deluxe rooms and has two grand suites. The grand suites include two queen bedrooms, two bathrooms, a parlor and kitchenette in each suite, which are finished in the style of Caribbean summerhouses.
The hotel has great views of the Caymanian shores, and is within 2 minutes walk of the beach. It's built by a salt water pond, a nature reserve where you can go bird watching for the endangered West Indian Whistling Duck & many other migratory birds. The hotel is hoping to cut a trench into the pond and create a harbour, putting an end to its local nick-name of the 'stinky pit'.
For intimate bed and breakfast accommodation, try Walton's Mango Manor Bed & Breakfast at Stake Bay. Nestled amongst the fruit trees and ponds, it also offers two separate villas and a seaside gazebo with hammocks swinging between coconut trees (www.waltonsmangomanor.com; (948 0518)).

Using Complex Online Tools for Marketing, Sales and Service
A September 2007 survey from The McKinsey Quarterly, titled "How Companies are Marketing Online: A McKinsey Global Survey," discusses the importance of complex online tools in our increasingly digitized word.
The survey details not only how companies are using complex online tools in their marketing efforts, but also how organizations have started to digitize other aspects of their business - such as in their sales efforts and customer service programs. According to the survey, some online tools are already widely in use - such as the placement of service information on company Web sites (86% of respondents have this in place), and the use of personalized e-mails for reaching out to customers (78% have in place). In terms of managing sales, most of the respondents do so via their company Web site (79%), while 42% of respondents turn to external eCommerce sites for this purpose.
Less widely employed complex online tools include a Click-to-Call option on Web sites (29%), the sponsorship of User Forums for the sharing of information among customers (22%) and availability of Online Text Chat for customer service assistance (18%). The survey notes that the more an organization has integrated online tools into their marketing strategy, the more likely the organization is to have implemented complex online tools in their sales and service efforts. In terms of online sales efforts, 8% of respondents have a "store" in a virtualized world, and 6% of respondents sell via external auction sites.
Sign up for the report here and see where your company stacks up in terms of complex online tool usage.

Hi, I'm Rona Thompson, and I'm so happy to have been asked to join the Evalicious DT. My husband and I live near Toronto, Canada, and we're busy with a son, who plays hockey and baseball, and a daughter, who has just started high school and practices taikwondo and hours of texting. We also have a golden doodle who's into sleeping, long walks in the park, and lying on top of my iPad when I'm trying to read.
In my professional life, I'm a CPA/CA, but I get my real joy from scrapbooking and card making. I've always loved being creative, having gone through many phases of crafting – needlepoint, knitting, jewelry making, to name a few. But scrapbooking is the one that I've stuck with for over ten years, and I can't imagine ever stopping! My style is quite traditional. You'll see a lot of two page layouts from me.
My name is Chantal and I am SO thrilled and beyond excited to be part of the Evalicious team. I am a Canadian currently residing in our nation's capital, Ottawa with my partner, my brother and my daughter as well (on a part time basis). I started scrapping digitally back in 2008 after my daughter Meagan was born but for the last few months, I've been playing around with pretty papery things and I am in love, completely hooked and deeply obsessed. I'm very much looking forward to sharing my projects with you all AND seeing all of yours!
I can also be found sharing bits and pieces of my life on my blog at www.paperfilledmoments.blogspot.ca
My name is Christine Newman and I'm very excited to be back on the Evalicious team! I'm a life documenter and storyteller. I love to create memories and document them. I love photos, blogging, running, eating, and all things crafty. I live with my husband Todd and my cat Noodle in Southern California. You can find me blogging my life at http://www.listgirl.com.
Hello! My name is Laura Whitaker and I am so thrilled to be joining the Evalicious team for a second term! I can usually be found hanging out with my husband, our 3 sons (ages 25, 23 and 11) and our puppy, if I am not in my craft room. I homeschool our youngest son, so I do not always have a lot of time to play however, my soul seems to crave being creative so I try to do something crafty every day, even if it is only planning or organizing my next project. I am looking forward to sharing many Evalicious projects with you, both here and on my blog www.scrappinaroundtheclock.blogspot.com.
Hello there, I'm Rachel Lim and I'm delighted to be part of Evalicious newest Design Team!
I'm born and raised on the sunny island Singapore - a small yet busy garden city where I spend my days running the household and getting busy with my 3 boys (the husband and 2 sons). By nightfall, I can be found at my work desk crafting away. Among the many hobbies that I have, scrapbooking is my number one love, and I totally love paper and any other elements that goes with it.
You'll get to see me making mini albums, bookbinding, altered projects and Project Life-ing. Occasionally, I'll pull out my planner and art journal to create a storm out of them. You can find me on Instagram (@scrappinlove) as well as over at my Blog.
Hello there, my name is Sam (or WaiSam a.k.a. Happie Scrappie). I am a paper, stationery and planner addict based in Malaysia/Singapore. I have a toddler, Ivan who was born in March 2013, who is my little helper when it comes to crafting and managing my little online shop. He is also the main subject and inspiration for my scrapbooking and project life-ing.
I started scrapbooking when I moved to Singapore in November 2011. I joined a beginner scrapbook class in one of the local scrapbook store and I've been hooked since. I am currently a WFHM (Work From Home Mom) who runs a little online store selling stationeries and also enjoys playing with papers, glue and scissors whenever I need some me-time. I love working with pastel colors most of the time and I can't complete a layout without adding some machine stitching, paint splatter and a splash of colors. I normally enjoy creating layouts and I have also started my Project Life in January 2013. I love making mini albums and photo-cards for my friends and family just to capture those precious little moments.
Hello Hello! I'm always inspired by things around me and make time each day for art....living in the motto to "find inspiration everyday everywhere". It's funny that when I'm not creating I'm usually jotting down ideas for creations later once back in my art room. Since scrapbooking 15+ years ago, I've been addicted since the beginning. I have a strong passion for life art, lots of creative spirit, and fearless in working with new products and techniques. My style would be defined as blending the old + new + typically adding stamping in the mix. During the day, I work full-time as an audit manager. I also love drawing, travel, photography, cooking, and reading.

It mounts on any of my four lenses and gives me macro sharpness with more flexibility than just one dedicated macro lens. View attachment 13859 View attachment 13860 View attachment 13861 View attachment 13862 On the Sigma 30mm 2.8 it produces sharp rich shots, as can be seen in the first two above. The latter two were shot with the Pentax-m 100 2.8. I don't see a fall off in light or a reduction in lens speed. Marvelous solution that also works well with legacy primes.

The percentage of women on college campuses has increased for decades, but the trend may have finally hit a plateau, according to recently released U.S. Census Bureau figures.
In 2006, 55.7 percent of undergraduate students in the United States were women - down slightly from a peak of 56.3 percent in 2005, according to the Census Bureau. In 1971, women made up just 42 percent of college undergraduates.
UGA statistics show a similar trend, from majority-male in the 1970s to a peak of nearly 58 percent women in 2003, when women outnumbered men in the UGA student body 19,566 to 14,312, according to UGA's Fact Book.
But since then, the ratio of women to men has changed little.
In 2007, women were 57.5 percent of UGA's enrollment, including undergraduate, graduate and professional students.
Even if the gender gap has stopped widening, the disparity remains a national problem, according to Tom Mortenson of the Pell Institute for Opportunity in Higher Education.
"The problem is, the boys just don't seem to get it," Mortenson said. "In my view, we have a strongly feminized educational system. Boys tend to be wiggly and fidgety. In the social skills, the discipline they need, the girls sort of have an edge over the boys."
College campuses became more and more female not just because women got more access to college, but because men had good job opportunities even without a college degree, said UGA statistics professor Lynne Billard.
But those options for men, such as factory jobs, are disappearing, Mortenson said. He doesn't know why the gender gap has stopped widening, or even if the trend really has run its course, he added.
The male-female ratio makes little difference in many students' lives on campus, they say.
"I know that (a gap exists) as a fact, but it doesn't really make an impact. Just on a day-to-day basis, it seems like it's equal," said Camille Smith, a sophomore accounting major from Chickamauga.
B. Fisher notices, though, when he's walking down the sidewalk.
"It's almost always more enjoyable for the guys," Fisher said.
"I don't think it's significant enough to make much of a difference," said Chandler Coats, a sophomore from Stone Mountain.
"I think it affects the lives of women more than men," said third-year law student Dwayne Brown, who is black.
Brown wishes more black men were enrolled in college, but they face barriers both from inside themselves and from outside, he said.
"You believe it's attainable, but your environment is not pushing you in that direction. Society blocks you, and you block yourself," Brown said.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Port Authority delayed a vote Wednesday on whether to help developer Larry Silverstein build a third tower on the World Trade Center site.
As WCBS 880's Peter Haskell reported, the issue represents a rare public disagreement among Port Authority board members.
The dispute is over whether the agency should back $1.2 billion in loans for 3 World Trade Center. Silverstein is building the planned $2.3 billion tower on the site.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM GROUP FIGHTS TO PROTECT 90-Y-O VETERANS MEMORIAL CROSS — CHRISTIAN POST — First Liberty Institute, the largest legal organization in the nation specializing in defending religious freedom, filed a brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals Monday to protect the 90-year-old cross-shaped Bladensburg World War I Veterans Memorial in Maryland from an atheist group that's pushing for it's removal.
The brief was filed in the Fourth Circuit court in conjunction with the law firm Jones Day for the American Legion, which erected the monument 90 years ago in honor of Bladensburg-area men who gave their lives in World War I, according to the institute. The American Legion is the largest veterans service organization in the country with approximately 2.2 million members.
JUSTICE STILL ELUDES WWII VETERANS — INQUIRER — The war benefits US President Franklin D. Roosevelt pledged to Filipino soldiers who fought side by side with the Americans during World War II had proved to be very elusive for the longest time. Because that promise was rescinded by post-war President Harry S. Truman in the Rescission Act of 1946.
Nevertheless, pressure groups and politicians, like the late senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, took up the cudgels for the aging and infirm Filipino war veterans whose hopes in ever seeing the fulfillment of that promise all seemed lost. But hope was rekindled when US President Barack Obama signed the Filipino equity bill into law in 2009.
On hearing the news of the forthcoming "manna from heaven," rejoicing and celebration filled the air. Living Filipino soldiers of WWII were ecstatic. Unfortunately, a good number of them, thousands in fact, like my father, were again left out in the cold. For one reason or another, their claims were disallowed. And all their hopes were torn to pieces once more, only this time they were just too decrepit to pick themselves up. It was total surrender once more to the vagaries of life.
WWII VETERAN'S FAMILY FACES EVICTION OVER AMERICAN FLAG — KTRK — CLOVIS, CA — A resident of the Lexington Square Apartments says he and his mom were told they have to remove the American flag flying outside of their apartment. Otherwise they will be evicted.
"This makes me very angry, because this is America," says Joel Semar.
Last week, Semar received a letter from the apartment manager stating because of a complaint, the flag pole must be removed immediately.
"I enjoy watching it fly," Semar says. "It's one of the few pleasures I have left in life."
SUICIDAL THINKING AFFECTS 'SIGNIFICANT MINORITY' OF US VETERANS — MEDICAL NEWS TODAY — Results of a 2-year study on health and resilience in US veterans show that nearly 14% report having suicidal thoughts in one or both waves of the research.
The research, published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, used data from a nationally representative sample of over 2,000 American vets who were surveyed twice – once in 2011 and again in 2013 – in a study led by the Veteran's Affairs (VA) National Center for PTSD.
Each time, the survey asked the veterans whether they had experienced suicidal thoughts in the past 2 weeks, and also about a host of other factors associated with suicidal thinking.
The results showed that around 86% of participants reported having no suicidal thoughts in the previous 2 weeks at both times they were surveyed.
ONE OF IOWA'S OLDEST WORLD WAR II VETERANS DIES AT 108 — DES MOINES REGISTER — He didn't attend the uniformed marches in veterans' parades, but right up to the end Loren Greiner was more quietly telling the story of war.
"He hated, hated guns. He'd seen enough of them," said son Keith Greiner, of Des Moines.
But he was known to give a history lesson to an unsuspecting young person who came to his door and was ignorant of D-Day or to regale the local football team crowded into the nursing home with tales of true battle.
Greiner, of Emmetsburg, died Saturday at age 108.
VA APPEALS PROCESS CAN BE A LENGTHY ONE — LEAF CHRONICLE — When you receive a decision letter on a VA disability claim, the letter tells you to file a Notice of Disagreement (NOD) if you disagree with any point in the decision, such as denial of service-connection or in the percentage VA rated a specific condition. An NOD will start the lengthy appeals process. What they don't tell you is that there is another, often better option. Decisions aren't final until one year from the date of notification, so it's usually far better to ask for a reconsideration of the decision if you can provide evidence as to why VA's rationale for the decision was wrong.
Remember, however, it's difficult to disagree with a percentage assigned for things such as joints, which are based on a VA Compensation and Pension (C&P) exam and involve range of motion, unless you contend the exam was inadequate. In that case, you'll likely be afforded another exam, or, you can submit a Disability Benefit Questionnaire and records from your own doctor that contradict the findings of the VA exam.
BOOTS TO BUSINESS: PROGRAM HELPS VETERANS BECOME ENTREPRENEURS — KXAN — AUSTIN — A local group is hosting a special workshop for veterans.
Jim Grimsley, mentor with the Austin chapter of Boots to Business, joined us in the KXAN studio is discuss how veterans make good entrepreneurs due to their discipline as goal-orientatied self-starters who are accustomed to accountability.
"Boots to Business Reboot is a two-step entrepreneurship training program offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration through a public private partnership with the Institute of Veterans and Military Families, the Marcus Foundation and First Data Corporation," said Grimsley.
OHIO VA CLINIC SWAPS BIBLE FOR 'PROP' BOOK AFTER COMPLAINT — MILCOM — A Department of Veterans Affairs clinic in Youngstown, Ohio, substituted a "prop" book for a Bible after a civil rights organization accused the facility of endorsing a particular faith by having only the Christian holy book displayed at a table set up to honor American prisoners of war and missing in action.
In a note to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation on Monday, Kristen Parker, chief of external affairs for Cleveland VA Medical Center — which handles media for the Youngstown clinic — said the Bible was "replaced with a generic book, one whose symbolism can be individualized by each of our veterans as they pay their respects" to POWs and MIAs.
Parker told Military.com on Tuesday that because the VA cannot endorse, favor or inhibit any specific religion, "we are supporting our local veteran organizations with their decision to use a prop-book on the POW/MIA Table at our Youngstown [clinic]."
VA FORMALLY PROPOSES NEW LIMITS ON APPEALS RIGHTS FOR ITS EXECUTIVES — WASHINGTON POST — Senior executives at the Department of Veterans Affairs overseeing health care programs could appeal disciplinary actions against them only through internal department channels, under a formal proposal the department has sent to Congress.
While other VA executives still could bring appeals to the Merit Systems Protection Board, that adjudicatory agency would have to give more deference to the department's decisions, under the proposal.
The proposed bill, first reported by the Government Executive site, is the latest in a series arising from the scandal over appointment scheduling and patient care at VA—and is less sweeping than an earlier "discussion draft" from the department.
6 UNBEATABLE BENEFITS OF VA LOANS — MILCOM — Created before the close of World War II, the VA home loan benefit has helped millions of veterans, service members and military families achieve the dream of homeownership. Today, in many ways, it's more important than ever.
VA loan volume has soared 370 percent in the wake of the Great Recession, driven in large part by historically low rates and increasingly tougher lending requirements. The VA program provides significant financial benefits that make homebuying possible for score of veterans who might not otherwise qualify.
Here's a look at six of the biggest, most unbeatable benefits of these long-cherished home loans:
GROUP'S VETERANS DIRECTOR RESIGNS AMID THREATS OVER BIBLE REMOVAL — MILCOM — The director of veterans' affairs for a civil rights organization resigned Tuesday just days into the job after he and his family were threatened by religious extremists angry over his role in the removal of a Bible from a missing man memorial at a veterans clinic in Youngstown, Ohio.
On Monday, Jordan Ray, a retired Army captain who served multiple overseas tours, started his job with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. On Tuesday, following Military.com's report about Bible's removal and Ray's role in it, he and his family were stunned and frightened by the threats made against them in online forums.
"I cannot believe I deployed five times to fight radical Islamists overseas only to come home, voice my opinion, and be attacked by radical Christians," Ray, 41, said in his letter of resignation, a copy of which was provided to Military.com on Wednesday. "Who's persecuting who?"
RETURNING HOME: VETERAN HEALTH AND WELLNESS — MILCOM — Veterans returning home from a tour (or several tours) in Afghanistan, Iraq, or other areas where terrorists live, sometimes have a difficult time getting out of operational threat mode. Understanding that there is no threat at home is easy to say, but a challenge to live. Building a normal life can take time, patience, and many days and nights of frustration. Here is an email from a reader who offered some assistance to her nephew after deploying for over a year recently.
CAPTOLA JOHNSON: PIONEERING FEMALE AVIATOR DIES IN SACRAMENTO AT 95 — MILCOM — Captola "Cappy" Johnson, a coal miner's daughter who went on to fly during World War II as a pioneering aviator, died March 18 at a Folsom hospital after a short illness. She was about a month shy of her 96th birthday.
The longtime Fair Oaks resident was one of the approximate 1,100 women in the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) program. In 2010, when she and other WASP pilots received the Congressional Gold Medal in Washington, D.C., an estimated 300 were still living.
Nearly 30,000 women applied for the wartime program. WASPs tested planes, ferried aircraft from factories to military bases, and performed other duties so men could fly combat missions overseas.
MILITARY OFFICERS GROUP TO LOBBY LAWMAKERS TO PROTECT SURVIVOR BENEFIT — MILCOM — Members of a military officers group will lobby U.S. lawmakers next week to preserve a survivor benefit.
The Military Officers Association of America, an advocacy group based in Alexandria, Virginia, plans to send about 160 representatives to Capitol Hill on April 13 to also argue against proposed Tricare fee hikes and for fixing challenges in accessing heath care services.
"In the past we've gotten a lot of traction by sending letters, but we do find that it is compounded by actually informed constituents in the office of the legislators to reinforce the points we are trying to make," said Steve Strobridge, the organization's director of government relations.

Activin and inhibin are two closely related protein complexes that have almost directly opposite biological effects. The activin and inhibin protein complexes are both dimeric in structure, and, in each complex, the two monomers are linked to one another by a single disulfide bond. Activin is composed of two β subunits, βA βA (activin A), βB βB (activin B), or βA βB (activin AB). Inhibin is composed of an alpha and one of two β subunits, βA (inhibin A) or βB (inhibin B). Activins are produced in many cell types and organs, such as gonads, pituitary gland, and placenta. In the ovarian follicle, activin increases FSH binding and FSH-induced aromatization. It participates in androgen synthesis enhancing LH action in the ovary and testis. In the male, activin enhances spermatogenesis. In addition, Activin plays a role in wound repair and skin morphogenesis. Activin is strongly expressed in wounded skin, and overexpression of activin in epidermis of transgenic mice improves wound healing and enhances scar formation. Activin also regulates the morphogenesis of branching organs such as the prostate, lung, and kidney. There is also evidence showed that lack of activin during development results in neural developmental defects.
