We bought this for my sons first birthday and he loves it. He gets slightly confused when he hears the sorter flaps rattle when he's pushing it, and it's so cute watching him try to figure it out. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, based on the fact that I personally feel the blocks are a potential choking hazard. They fit through a toilet paper roll, which is rule #1 not to be able to do in a childrens toy. It's not a problem, as I just put them up for now.

Nice product. It arrived in its original box. The box was on my porch open, there was not so much as a piece of tape on the lid to keep it closed. The lid was literally wide open. I took the toy out and the bottom corner of it was kind of busted. It was a gift so I almost ignored the damage but then I saw online how much it was and wanted a new one in better condition. My local store was very kind and just told me to drop by to swap them.

About Me Education Oriented, Thrifty
Had my 14 month old granddaughter for a week and she was growing bored with her toys. Bought this activity walker and she loved it!! She pushed it, filled the storage area with the pieces over and over, and spent time trying to operate the activities. Plenty of challenge for her as she grows. I loved the sturdiness of it, as it did not roll away from her when she played, but was easy for her to push and walk behind. A very well made product that will last for many grandchildren to come.

About Me Grandparent
This toy has been quite the godsend for my Granddaughter, she is learning to walk with the help of this toy, instead of crawling around she is up on those adorable feet, and following us all over, and gets up and has been exploring on her own as well. All the "stuff" to do keeps her busy on and off all day, while here at my home. This is easy to clean, and all the stuff self stores. Love this toy! Thank you!

Great push walker
By Soccer mom
from Columbia, SC
Great toy, got it for my son at a great price when he was 7 months and he loved to sit in front of it and play with the flaps and the blocks. Now at 10 months he loves to walk behind it. It's very sturdy and easy to push. There's some rubber around the wheels which prevents it from moving too fast on hardwood. My son has no problem walking behind it on thick carpet or hardwood which is great.
Nice walker

Hello, I'm running 15 diskless nodes attached to another node using NFS to export to each node: a / filesystem, a shared /home filesystem, and a shared /usr filesystem. This is a new setup I just implimented (mostly sharing /usr as before each node had its own instead of sharing). I'm running RH 6.2 with PVM3 and I've been testing it with pvmpovray. As of right now, I can rsh into all nodes from any other node (security is not an issue). However, when I su to become root and do administrative tasks all nodes will now segfault and sometimes (not always) cause a core dump. Now, I'm far from knowledgeable about cores, but does anyone have any suggestions or previous experiences with similar problems. This did not happen before, when all nodes had individual /usr directories (this made software addition horrible).

The event is what's known as an annular solar eclipse — from the Latin "annulus," meaning "little ring" — and its full glory should be visible from much of Asia, the Pacific region and some of western North America, weather permitting. At its peak, the eclipse will block about 94 percent of the sun's light.
Other parts of the United States and Canada will still see a partial solar eclipse, without being treated to the ring of fire effect, though the East Coast will miss the event since the sun will have set before it begins. The eclipse will occur in the late afternoon or early evening of May 20 throughout North America, and May 21 for observers in Asia. Check out this eclipse skywatching guide to learn more about viewing locations and times.
Solar eclipses occur when the moon comes between Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on our planet. When the moon lines up perfectly with the sun and blots out all of its light, the result is a total eclipse. Partial eclipses cover only part of the sun's face. [Annular Solar Eclipse of May 20, 2012 (Photo Guide)]
Annular eclipses are similar to total eclipses in that the moon lines up with the sun dead-on. But in this case, the moon is close to apogee — the farthest point from Earth in its elliptical orbit around our planet — so it's a smidge too small in the sky to cover the solar disk completely. As a result, a ring of bright sunlight will still blaze around the moon's circumference.
Like other types of solar eclipses, annular eclipses are spectacular but potentially dangerous skywatching events. Care must be taken to observe them properly, or serious and permanent eye damage — including blindness — could result.
Warning: Never look directly at the sun, either with the naked eye or through telescopes or binoculars without the proper filters.
To safely observe the May 20 annular eclipse, you can buy special solar filters to fit over your equipment, or No. 14 welder's glass to wear over your eyes. Do NOT use standard sunglasses or any kind of homemade sun-shading contraption.
The safest and simplest technique is perhaps to watch the eclipse indirectly with the solar projection method. Use your telescope, or one side of your binoculars, to project a magnified image of the sun's disk onto a shaded white piece of cardboard.
The image on the cardboard will be safe to view and photograph. Be sure to cover the telescope's finder scope or the unused half of the binoculars, however, and don't let anybody look through them.

TODAY | November 08, 2012
>>> for his new book, "far from the tree," andrew sullivan looks at how parents love children who are different than they are. one of the chapters on one of the columbine shooters.
>>> but first, rock center's kate snow is here with more on the story.
>> soloman spoke with 300 families facing everything from autism to death to child prodigies with down syndrome. but one family in particular are getting a lot of attention. they have never spoken publicly before, but tom and sue opened up to soloman about what their son did that spring day in 1999 .
>> reporter: we all remember his name, dylan klebold was one of the kids responsible for columbine. during the past six years, author andrew soloman has had unprecedented access to tom and sue klebold .
>> i had dinner with sue last night.
>> how is she doing?
>> it's a lot to bear, but she's a really courageous woman. and she's tried to go on with her life.
>> reporter: in his new book, the klebold 's story is but ten pages out of nearly 1,000.
>> when i went out to meet the klebolds, i thought if i got to know them, i would understand this had happened and i would detect whatever was off in their household.
>> reporter: instead, he says, he found a loving family.
>> you think his parents had no idea what was brewing?
>> i think his parents had absolutely no idea. i think if they had known, they would have done something about it.
>> reporter: by the time the massacre was over, dylan klebold and eric harris had killed 12 students and a teacher, then turned their guns on themselves.
>> and sue said to me, once i understood that it was actually dylan who was doing this, she said i had to pray that he got killed before he hurt any more people. and he did it. i was probably right, it probably was the best thing for him. but to have made that prayer and had that happen, it's a terrible thing to have to live with.
>> soloman once asked sue klebold what she would ask dylan if he were here now.
>> she says, i would ask him to forgive me for being his mother and never knowing what was going on inside his head.
>> hey, boys, this is how it's going to go.
>> sue klebold says she loves her son and, quote, while i recognize it would have been better for the world if dylan had not been born, i would it would not have been better for me.
>> i know you'll have more on this tonight on "rock center" with brian williams . but meantime, andrew soloman is with us now. good morning.
>> what a pleasure to be here.
>> there's so much in this book. and i know it's 11 years in the making, and i want to get to that. but let's pick up where kate left off. they have spoken so very rarely, they still live in this very town in the same house?
>> in the same house. i said to them, i was surprised they hadn't moved. and his parents said, you know, if we'd moved, everyone who met us would've met us as the parents of that killer. and his mother says, and here there were people who knew and loved us, but more important, there were people that loved dylan and that's what we needed to be with.
>> it's quite extraordinary you were able to have this access to them. i can imagine in many ways, i'm sure they had shut themselves off to the outside world . did you detect anything that would've at all explained what happened here?
>> you know, it used to be thought we could understand almost everything as being somehow from the parents. so autism was caused by cold mothers, schizophrenia caused by mothers who wish their children didn't exist. 100 years ago, it was -- we dropped it in all of those areas, but we still think in crime. come on, it has to be the parents, they have to have done something, they have to have known. and i spent hundreds of hours with these people, i've come to love them and i really genuinely think they had no clue and no way of having a clue.
>> i know sue told you at one point she'd written letters to each of the families of the victims but advised not to send it out of concern she would traumatize them more. she says, quote, i think the other parents believed they had experienced loss and i had not because their children were of value and mine was not. my child died too, he died after making a terrible decision and doing a terrible thing, but he was still my child. and he still died. you know, it's such an awful thing. but i guess what the book does is show there's need to be compassionate on everyone involved.
>> and i can think of nothing worse, i have children, the idea is so terrifying and sickening to me. but to have to lose your child because he's died as they did and also to lose the understanding your child behaved in a monstrous way.
>> let's move on. as i said, this book has so many fascinating aspects to it. and the basic premise is, ways in which children are different than their parents and it covers a variety of topics. give us some examples.
>> so, it's about the idea there are many conditions that are hereditary. there are all of these other conditions in which the parents say he's a surprise. there's some of that in every parenting experience. i looked at people with autism , with down syndrome, people with schizophrenia and disabilities, i looked at families of people who committed crimes or were transgender. and when i was born, being gay was an illness. what people had to say about it was so dark. and now i'm a gay adult and in my lived experience, it's an identity. i said how did we make that switch? what is an illness? what is an identity?
>> you cover all of these different types of conditions or situations, did you detect any common thread with how parents do deal with children that are different than them?
>> i think what i discovered is that acceptance is a gradual process. but that parents were able to find meaning in the experience are able to be better parents than the parents who don't. there was one family, for instance, they had a son with down syndrome, and they got very involved in how kids with down syndrome are educated. and i said to them at the end of a long talk. i said do you wish you never had this experience? and his mother said, for our son david i wish that because for him it would be an easier way to be in the world and i'd like to make his life easier. but speaking for myself so i would never have believed 30 years ago when he was born that i could come to such a moment, speaking for myself i'd say i wouldn't give it up for anything in the world.
>> profound is a good way to describe the book. there's so much there. more than a decade in the making, but you've done a good thing and it's great to have you here. thank you.
>> thank you, it's a pleasure.
>> and the book is called "far from the tree." we

Sam Fine
What do superstars Patti Labelle, Vanessa L. Williams, Halle Berry, Brandy and supermodels Tyra Banks, Veronica Webb, Iman, and Naomi Campbell all have in common? They've relied on the expert hand of makeup artist Sam Fine to look their most glamorous. That's because Fine knows that the key to making up goes beyond painting a pretty face. Long before he became a celebrity makeup artist, the Chicago native paid his dues working behind the makeup counter of department stores, an experience he fondly refers to as "the real school of beauty". There he came in contact with women from all walks of life that wanted one thing - to look their absolute best. He made it his mission to show them how to accentuate their unique beauty by using colors and shades that would best complement their complexions. But most importantly he helped them eliminate their doubts and apprehension about applying makeup so that they too could achieve dazzling results.
Fine's talent and determination have taken him far from the makeup counter, making him one of today's most sought after makeup artists. His work has appeared on the covers and pages of Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar, Essence, Vibe and Marie Claire and was chosen as the first African-American spokesperson for Revlon and Covergirl Cosmetics. But it was the experiences from his formative years selling makeup that inspired him to write his first book, Fine Beauty: Beauty Basics and Beyond for African-American Women, a how-to guide that also highlights his many accomplishments.

Since it headline news at SI and ESPN that players were getting payed, "Drugs were everywhere," and positive tests were ignored, I thought it was completely relevant to the conversation. Should we just let them do all the drugs they want and get payed also, since it can't be stopped? Doesn't a college program the frowns on drug use have a disadvantage in recruiting against teams like LSU and OSU where it is a non-issue?
Honey Badger was kicked off of the team for using MJ. Then, what about teams from Washington and Colorado where it is legal? If colleges from those two states get a pass, then you can bet most of the top recruits are going to want to play there. In regards to the compensation, the rules are antiquated and unrealistic.

Where do we go without great leaders for the defense of our liberties? Who will defend our right to live our lives _as we chose_ without others taking that from us? The answer is, as it should be, no one. We are the defense of our rights and should always remember that. Libertarian blogger

Syria's demonstrators refuse to 'kneel down,' vow to reclaim their dignity [Al Jazeera, Qatar]
Presenter, Male #1
The slogan for this Friday protest, "We won't kneel," reaffirms the meaning of dignity for those rising up in Syria, as the word "dignity" was chosen for the first Friday rally held on March 18. The following report explains the meaning of this slogan and the meaning of dignity and nationality embraced by the Syrian people in the fight against what has become known as "the norms of oppression by the Syrian regime."
Reporter, Male #2
Some chose to bow and kneel for President Bashar, as clearly shown in these images. However, others, who represent the majority of the people across the country, are refusing to kneel. By ordering the army to counter the people, the regime has distorted the high morale of the troops, best known as "the defenders of the homeland front." One of the firm beliefs of the army is to protect the homeland and its citizens, not to defend the regime against its people who are rising up against it. Here is Hama a few days ago, where countless tanks were deployed. Some activists say that more than 300 tanks were deployed in and around the city. The objective was to reoccupy the city and subjugate its citizens, as cited by opposition activists. During the campaign in Hama, nearly 300 Syrians have been killed over a few days, or one tank per death. Despite the crackdown, Syrians who are rising up in the Levant region say, "We won't kneel." Over 2,000 people have been killed, nearly 15,000 arrested, and more than 15,000 have been displaced to neighboring countries. According to opponents of the regime, the decision to grant security agencies broad authority is not governed by the constitution or the law. This brings back to memory the latest incidents of Daraa and highlights the meaning of dignity, which was adopted as a slogan by the first wave of protestors who chanted "death not humiliation." Then, elements of the regime met with leaders of the city. The regime tried to take their dignity away, as security forces pulled off the fingernails of some children who were chanting for freedom and change. This was the final straw, as the residents of Daraa staged massive protests across the city, choosing their first protest as the "Friday of Dignity." A dignity that, when reclaimed, will reaffirm the meaning of national identity. This is an equation that is capable of dismantling the rule of the Assad regime in Syria, as cited by activists. Observers believe that all the names of Friday protests have evolved around the issue of dignity, starting from Daraa to Hama and Deir az-Zour and others in the north and south. Other Friday slogans include pride, martyrs, steadfastness, determination, rage, defiance, and lastly, we won't kneel. All are a proof that the departure of the regime is no longer a question puzzling those who are rising up in Syria. A regime that violated the dignity of people held in its dungeons and its prisons. A regime that hijacked a country and its people, who say they will not retreat from their demand of toppling it.
Bahrain's pro-democracy protesters show no sign of retreat [Al-Alam, Iran]
Presenter, Male # 1
Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society called for mass participation in the "No Retreat" festival on the Friday of Decisiveness as the ministries of health and education continue to fire more of their employees for participating in peaceful protests. Hundreds of public sector employees were dismissed from their positions over their participation in demonstrations.
Reporter, Male # 2
With determination and confidence, these masses continue their daily peaceful marches to confirm their commitment to their demands. In one voice, they are demanding reforms and democracy while condemning the crackdown by the authorities, who have resorted only to the language of force and bullets to face peaceful protests. The impact of these daily marches led to the popular gathering that was held today, on Friday. It was organized by Bahrain's al-Wefaq National Islamic Society. This mass popular demonstration was held under the banner of "Friday of Decisiveness" and the "No Retreat" slogan. Al-Wefaq called on the Bahraini masses to participate en mass and to respond to the call in the area between the northern Sehla and Abu Quwah. In its ongoing public events, during which popular demands are reiterated, al-Wefaq confirmed its main demands are a genuine implementation of a constitutional monarchy, an elected government that represents the people's will, and a parliament with full legislative and regulatory authorities. In addition to the demands of fair constituencies under the principle of one vote for each citizen, they also demanded a fair and independent judiciary and security for all citizens. In response to the continuing popular mobilization, human rights violations by the Saudi-backed Bahraini authorities also proceed.
Guest, Male # 3 (Abdallah el-Mahuzi, Bahraini political activist)
The termination campaign continues on a large scale. It reached government ministries and major companies in Bahrain. Right now, there are nearly 15,000 Bahraini citizens without a livelihood, without a job. This is a catastrophe for Bahrain.
Reporter, Male # 2
Amid the policy of termination adopted by the Ministry of Education for months, it announced the dismissal of additional employees and teachers. The ministry says the number of those dismissed has reached 79, including employees and teachers, for participating in popular protests, despite the government's claim that it demanded the ministry reinstate them. Alongside these measures, the Bahraini Ministry of Health announced its intention to fire 23 of its employees for the same reason. It is estimated that over 230 individuals are facing the threat of similar investigations. In clear and stated double standards, the US and its allies turn a blind eye to Manama's violations against the rights of its Bahraini citizens while they cry over these violations elsewhere.
Ban Ki-moon expresses concern over Libyan civilian casualties [Future TV, Lebanon]
Presenter, Male #1
The Libyan revolutionaries have announced that at dawn, they advanced on three fronts toward the capital Tripoli. They are marching closely toward key coastal cities in western Libya, including Az Zawiyah Az Ziyah and Sarman. Yesterday, the revolutionaries seized control of residential neighborhoods east of the city of Brega. Brega's western areas are still under the control of Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi's forces. The Libyan opposition has achieved a political victory, after assuming responsibility for running the affairs of the Libyan embassy in Washington DC. The opposition has officially reopened the embassy. At the international level, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has expressed concern over recent reports of civilian deaths in the Libyan war, urging all sides to avoid killing innocent people.

A group of gunmen have attacked a Yemeni army patrol vehicle in the southern city of Taiz, killing one soldier and injuring two others. This comes as clashes erupted between supporters and opponents of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Meanwhile, thousands of pro-and anti-regime protestors gathered in the capital, Sanaa. Hundreds of thousands of anti-regime protestors gathered in the Siteen Square on a Friday dubbed "We are victorious, God willing." They chanted slogans demanding the ouster and trial of all elements of the regime. On the other hand, supporters of the ruling regime gathered in Sabeen Square under the slogan "Friday of national alliance to protect constitutional legitimacy," in support of Saleh and his legitimacy.
US threatens to halt Gaza aid [IBA, Israel]
We open with the ultimatum from the United States to Hamas that Washington will halt humanitarian aid do to Gaza within 24 hours if the government of Ismail Haniyeh fails to retract its insistence on auditing the books of US-financed NGO's operating in the territory. If the radical Islamic group fails to positively respond to the demand, State Department officials are warning that Washington will withhold 100 million dollars in aid it gives the NGO's for healthcare, agriculture, and water infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.
International condemnation over approval of Jerusalem housing construction [IBA, Israel]
International condemnation today continued over the recent approval of the Interior Ministry to build 1,600 new housing units in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo over the 1967 lines. The Palestinian government denounced the plan and demanded that the world's governments pressure Israel into reversing its decision. European Union Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton today expressed regret over the development and said that it not only undermines efforts to resume negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians but it also threatens the two-state solution.
Israeli social protest rallies move to periphery [IBA, Israel]
Turning to the ongoing social protest against the cost of housing, the demonstrations are now moving toward the periphery. Activists are gearing up for tonight's mass protests slated to take place in at least twelve cities. For the first time, the central demonstration will be held in Be'er Sheva, where organizers expect some 50,000 participants to attend. Dozen of busses will transport activists from Tel Aviv, to the area known as the capital of the Negev.
Palestinians inside Israel politicize country's housing protest [BBC Arabic, UK]
Presenter, Female # 1
Palestinians inside Israel constitute one fifth of the population. However, they usually complain of systematic discrimination, notably enforced by the confiscation of their land and demolishment of their homes. These days, Palestinians inside Israel, the Arabs of 1948, are active within local committees to protest their conditions. This, in coordination with demonstrations witnessed across different Israeli cities against housing prices and social conditions. As the general protest is focused on economic and social demands, Arabs say their demands have political and historical roots. Our correspondent Sherine Younes reports from Jerusalem.
Reporter, Female # 2
As the wave of protests initiated by thousands of Israelis demanding lower housing prices continues, Palestinians in Israel found the movement to be an opportunity to highlight their living conditions and their hardships, ongoing since the establishment of Israel. They have also set up protest tents in their towns and villages. And here they are, occupying these tents, meeting and organizing a popular committee to represent them at the high follow-up committee.
Guest, Male # 1 (Awad Abdel Fattah, National Democratic Assembly Secretary-General)
The Palestinians are the original owners of the land but endure a systematic policy of eviction, uprooting, displacement, and daily home demolishment. This is what we're facing and for this reason, this is another cause. So when the Israeli street fights for or demands lower housing prices, we remember where they stand and where we stand.
Reporter, Female # 2
Most issues mentioned here constitute a common denominator for the Palestinians in Israel. Throughout the years, large parts of Arab villages were confiscated and a great number of homes were evacuated or demolished. Development plans that allow citizens to build and expand were curtailed or even eliminated. In addition, entire Arab villages were not recognized, especially in the region of al-Naqab. For example, the city of Jaffa became part of Tel Aviv and in the 1970s two entire neighborhoods were destroyed, leading to a housing crisis. Today, the local popular committee in Jaffa is demanding the provision of houses for Arabs and an end to the policy of evicting people from their homes.
Guest, Male # 2 (Rami Saigh, Yaffa's youth movement)
First of all, the demand to stop the demolishment orders, I mean the eviction orders. There are over 700 eviction notices in Jaffa. This is our first demand. The second demand, which is always present for us, is to provide sufficient housing for Jaffa's residents. Unfortunately, even Israelis in Jaffa were also erased from the Israeli political map in the 1980s.
Reporter, Female # 2
The demands of the Arabs in Israel have still not been clearly included among the demands presented by the organizers of the anti-government protest. However, Arab activists are seriously attempting to gain adequate representation within the negotiating delegation. The special committee could find a settlement that allows an end to the general protest. However, Arabs fear a settlement might not find a solution to the issues they're facing since these issues remain an essential part of the struggle for land and housing between the state and Arabs. From Jaffa, Sherine Younes, BBC.
Israel limits access to al-Asqa Mosque [Press TV, Iran]
Israeli forces have tightened security in and around Jerusalem al-Quds and have banned tens of thousands of worshipers from attending Friday prayers. Israel has denied entry to al-Asqa Mosque to men under the age of 50 and women under the age of 45 as Palestinians perform the second Friday prayer of Islam's holy fasting month of Ramadan. Palestinians have called the restrictions a "collective punishment." They say the restrictions on movement have affected their economy and made travel extremely difficult.
Saudis rally for the release of political prisoners [Press TV, Iran]
Saudi Arabia protestors have taken to the streets in the province of al-Qatif, calling for the release of thousands political prisoners who are held in Saudi jails. The demonstrators also shouted slogans against the ruling regime in the capital Riyadh. The protests took place in the city of al-Awamiyah on Thursday night. Protestors were specifically calling for the release of the cleric Tawfiq al-Ammer. Al-Ammer is known by his followers as the most prominent advocate of civil rights and freedom in the eastern region of the Arab kingdom. He was recently arrested by Saudi authorities several days after he called for reforms during a speech at a local mosque.
UN warns of cholera epidemic spreading in Somalia [Press TV, Iran]
The United Nations has warned of cholera outbreaks across the already famine-stricken Somalia. The agency says more than 180 people have already fallen victim to the disease in the capital Mogadishu so far this year and that half of the victims have been children under the age of two. The UN has warned that the deadly illness could quickly spread to the south as many possible carriers flee the famine that's hit some 12.5 million people in the Horn of Africa. The United Nations has also called for more money, saying lack of funding is hindering the delivery of humanitarian aid. The UN says has only received 48 percent of the requested 2.4 billion dollars for humanitarian aid.
Corruption and poverty threaten Iraq's future [Al Rafedin, Iraq]
Presenter, Male #1
Knowledgeable sources divulged that a high-ranking official in Baghdad province was given a residence worth ten billion Iraqi dinars from an engineering company in exchange for assigning the company two large projects. The sources confirmed that the deal was sealed on July 30 in the Jordanian capital of Amman with the signing of a contract to build a bridge in al-Mada'in District. The engineering company was also assigned a sewage project in Tarmiyah. The sources indicated the estimated value of the first project at 103 billion Iraqi dinars and the second is estimated at 60 billion Iraqi dinars. The current law does not allow assigning two major projects to one company at the same time. In an attempt to halt mounting criticism, the current Ministry of Planning said it has approved a plan to conduct a new survey on the poverty level in Iraq. The survey is set to be completed at the end of 2012. The Food and Agriculture Organization, the FAO, said the prevalence of poverty and hunger, in addition to the lack of food safety in Iraq has become a phenomenon that severely threatens the future of Iraq.
Reporter, Male #2
Data and documents reveal the new poverty level in Iraq. The largest percentage of poverty is caused by the lack of services and the high unemployment level. And while the illegitimate government claims to have achieved major economic growth, the International Monetary Fund challenged and exposed the falseness of the claim. In its general economic review, the Fund confirmed earlier that Iraq's economic growth is slower than what was expected in 2010. In addition, the Iraqi Central Bank had previously described the rate of economic growth in 2010 as embarrassing. In an attempt to rectify its position and confront the growing criticism, the current Ministry of Planning announced it approved a plan to conduct a new survey on the poverty level in Iraq, to be completed in 2012. Despite the fact that a large number of international organizations confirmed that the poverty level in Iraq has reached about 60 percent, the ministry said the poverty level is only at 23 percent. It indicated it will change its five-year plan to be compatible with the economic reality. At the same time, it asserted the country will economically fail if an annual plan is adopted. The Food and Agriculture Organization, the FAO, said the prevalence of poverty, hunger, and the lack of food safety in Iraq has become a phenomenon that severely threatens the country's future. The FAO predicted these phenomena to cause growth stunts, weight loss, physical and psychological frailty and deformities, in addition slow economic and human development. Poverty will be another pain added to the misery of Iraqis, already enduring the pain of the US occupation and the destruction and devastation it has caused to all infrastructures in Iraq.

Thompson's secret weapon
8:00am Saturday 19th October 2013 in Sport By Craig Stoddart, Deputy Sports Editor
Stephen Thompson has scored some cracking goals this season and suspects he knows the simple reason behind his success - the opposition have yet to discover that he's right-footed.
He was Darlington's player of the year as they marched to the Northern League title, scoring 23 goals and creating many more.
And after 13 appearances at a higher level during the current campaign he's notched six goals, with three of them being eye-catching moments of the sort that have permeated his Quakers displays since joining a year ago.
While his equaliser at home to Prescot Cables last weekend came following a free-kick, strikes at Bamber Bridge and Salford were trademark Thompson: blasted with power from outside the penalty area after cutting inside from the wing.
He explained: "Because I'm playing on the left, defenders keep showing me inside on to my right, which they probably think is weaker, but it's actually my stronger foot, so I think that's why I'm getting more shots in and have scored a couple of long-range goals.
"Northern League players get to know you, but players at this level probably don't know my right foot is stronger. If they do that then I'm going to take the chance.
"I'd settle for a tap-in every game, but when you score a screamer you enjoy celebrating it. The Bamber Bridge one was probably the best goal I've scored, that was a good goal.
"It was right in the top corner. I'd just come inside and I smashed it, one of those when as soon as it has left your foot you know it's in."
The goal against Prescot Cables was Thompson's 25th in his 50th Darlington game in all competitions.
Game 51 on Monday evening, however, was not so successful. Curzon Ashton won 1-0 to knock Darlington off the top of Evo-Stik North table and they were clearly aware how dangerous the playmaker can be as right-back Simon Woodford twice clattered Thompson early on.
However, it was Thompson's pass that led to winger Chris Moore striking a post.
Moore and Thompson occasionally swap flanks and playing on the left now suits the former Durham City attacker, which is in contrast to last season.
"This year I've started scoring more goals than I did last season, when I was getting more assists," he said.
"Last year, I'd have said I preferred to play up front all day long, but I'm getting used to playing out wide and I'm getting a lot of the ball.
"I'm probably more dangerous when getting the ball and running at people with it. I'm not a back-to-goal kind of player, I like to run at defenders.
"I like to play on the left because I can come inside on to my right and score a few screamers."
He will hope to score another today when Darlington play in the first qualifying round of the FA Trophy at Buxton, a team placed seventh in the Evo-Stik League Northern Premier League Premier Division.
It's a chance to not only progress and make the club some money - the winners receive £2,700 - but also prove Darlington's credentials against a team from a higher level.
Thompson is among those that could surely hold his own further up the non-league pyramid and he said: "I think I could play higher, given the chance.
"I've got to do what I can here and see what happens. You've got to do well in these leagues and work your way up."
Darlington overcame Ossett Town 6-1 in the last round.
Thompson added: "Last year Martin (Gray) wasn't really concerned with the cups. But the FA Trophy, and the FA Cup, when we get into that next year, are big competitions.
"The Durham Challenge Cup is a chance for young lads to prove they should be in the first team, but Darlington won the Trophy a couple of years ago so we're taking it seriously and we'll go as far as we can.
"Nobody is saying we're going to win it, but it would be nice to get through a few rounds and get a Conference team. That would be a chance for a few of the lads to prove what they can do and prove they should be playing a few levels higher."
* If today's match ends in a draw, the replay will be at Heritage Park on Wednesday, October 23 (7.45pm). Buxton have announced that no musical instruments are permitted into their ground.

2007 - january february march april may june july august september october november december
27 April 2007
Quite often when we are out taking our birds for a walk, or doing one of our daily photo sessions, guests to the zoo who have seen the bird show often ask us why some of the birds have this strange thin pointy black feather that hangs off their tails. The answer to their questions is that the strange thin black feather is a transmitter. They will then normally assume that it is some kind of remote control that stops the birds from flying away. This could not be further from the truth. The transmitters are merely only there as kind of insurance policy.
All that the transmitters do is send out a radio wave pulse every couple of seconds. The transmitters by themselves are pretty much useless as they don't actually make any sound that we can hear. But when you combine them with the receiver that picks up the frequency the transmitter is sending then you can here a beep through the receiver. The receiver is directional, which means, when the antenna is pointing at the transmitter you will here a stronger beep then if the antenna was pointing away from the transmitter. It all sounds pretty technical, but with a bit of practice these tools enable us to track down a bird that may have for one reason or another gotten a little lost.
The Transmitters themselves are quite interesting units. They use standard watch batteries which can give us up to a week of continuous beeps (which is a long time if you have to track down a bird), and these beeps can be picked up on our receiver for up to about 20 kilometres. All in all this gives us plenty of chance to locate where the bird may have flown to. They are also quite small with the largest of them only weighing around 5 grams with its battery. This is not much of a burden for a bird that weighs anywhere from 800 grams and up.
Most of the patrons seem pretty interested in how these unique pieces of technology are aiding in our birds training and how they are being used for wildlife research all around the world. In this weeks photo you can see Onyx our Peregrine Falcon with his transmitter on whilst doing some work in the crocoseum.

Updated: Jan 12, 2013 3:01 PM
BILLINGS - "I'm not married to you," said Sandy Rogers, wife of Chairman and CEO of KOA, Jim Rogers, who is a part-time resident of Billings.
She was astonished at the disguise donned by Jim, who assumed the role as Tim Bickford, a recently laid-off accountant for CBS's "Undercover Boss."
Laughs erupted from the hundreds in the crowd at the Babcock Theater viewing the show's new episode.
Rewind three years and Friday's premiere might not have happened; multiple requests from the shows producers were denied due to the fact Rogers and company felt they couldn't disguise him.
Rogers is a very active participant to the 475 campgrounds throughout America. But producers were determined to make the affable Rogers transform into an aloof, all-three-buttons-buttoned-on-a-polo, newbie.
Early in the episode, Rogers stutters and pauses when he introduces himself as Bickford, who comes complete with a dyed mustache and (borderline absurd) hairpiece.
Many people question if employees appearing in the show know they are actually on "Undercover Boss." Producers explain a storyline of man participating in reality show in hopes to win the monetary grand prize.
Those attending Friday's event were actively - appropriately applauding, laughing, and generally enjoying Rogers staying in character.
But it wasn't just a man concealing his identity to a group of individuals. He was learning, absorbing, understanding more about the company he runs.
The man who genuinely loves the company he's helped cultivate admitted to experiencing "emotional gymnastics" and even faced his fear of heights on a 800 foot wire-to-wire zipline at Ventura Ranch KOA.
It culminated to Rogers and KOA donating more than $100,000 to employees appearing on the show as well as a healthy donation of $50,000 to cancer-stricken children.
Mike Gast, Vice President of Communications, said Friday's celebration was exactly that - a celebration. For KOA's 50th year and continued expansion as America's king of camping, Friday's premiere meant celebrating the work of the outdoor-friendly company.

Plans found: 15,000+
Popularized from 1957 to the present, A-Frame style houses have a triangular shape with many large windows on the front and rear facades. Typically A-frames have an open floor plan with few vertical wall surfaces making them easy to maintain and a popular style for a vacation cottage or vacation getaway home. Their steep roof pitch makes A-Frame style house plans perfect for areas with heavy snow falls since they are designed to help heavy snow slide to the ground instead of remaining on top of roof of the house. The A-frame's second floor is generally a loft space and allows for additional storage or an open living area overlooking to the first floor below.

What an absolute joke at the end of that game, but it was still a fantastic Game 7 between the Blackhawks and Red Wings.
Also, glad to see that I got 75% of the Conference Finals teams right at the start of the playoffs. These four teams are also the last four Cup champs. I wonder when the last time that happened was.
with the Sharks losing the other day I stopped caring about the rest of this season... the only team left I don't hate is the Bruins
I am hoping the cup will be Bruins vs Blackhawks.... but I really don't care anymore
More Ayreon!
"Fire has other worldly powers" -Lawdog1521
Wings got lucky they waved off that last minute goal, but couldn't do anything come OT. Hawks wanted that win, and this game showed it. I was flabbergasted the wings got to 3-1, but knew it was too good to be true. Oh well, what's done is done.
3/4 for my predictions, not bad even though I knew Pens were still hot.
East Coast:
Penguins over Bruins (4-2)
- Penguins know how to keep the pick moving, and Bruins have faced easier teams so far. Lets see if they can step up their game finally.
West Coast:
LA Kings over Blackhawks (4-3)
- LA wants the Stanley back, while the Blackhawks won't go down without a fight.
I'm surprised by how thoroughly the Bruins dominated the Penguins in the Eastern Conference Finals. However, it's clear that the Penguins are becoming the Canucks of the East, with the goalie being a huge question mark going in the playoffs. The way the NHL is now, elite goaltending is necessary for a team to win the Stanley Cup.
A lot of people were surprised by that. Two goals in four games for the Pens and 0 points from Crosby, Malkin and Letang? Astounding.
But at least Pittsburgh has a Stanley Cup win in 2009 -- that's more than Vancouver can say. And a hot goaltender is always a difference-maker in the postseason.

Washington, DC Sunday, November 11, 2012
This week on Q&A our guest is Matthew Heineman, director and producer of the documentary film "Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare." Heineman shares the premise of the film which is to examine the deficiencies in America's healthcare system and explore cost effective solutions.
The film premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and is currently showing in select theaters. Heineman co-directed the movie with veteran filmmaker Susan Froemke. He talks about the issues that arise from fee-for-service medical reimbursement that compensates doctors for each procedure, and in some cases leads to overtreatment of preventable diseases. He highlights alternatives to this method of physician compensation, such as the plan adopted by the Cleveland Clinic which pays doctors a salary and incentivizes them to provide better treatment as measured by patient's results. Heineman introduces viewers to Dr. Erin Martin, an Oregon general practitioner who quits her clinic after feeling that productivity quotas were being imposed upon doctors. She states that the quality of care was compromised in this manner. Heineman shares solutions which include an experiment by the military to use acupuncture in the place of pain medication, a fellowship program by Dr. Andrew Weil that teaches doctors about the importance of nutrition in preventing illness, and research by Dr. Dean Ornish demonstrating how lifestyle change can prevent and even reverse heart disease. Matthew talks about why he became a filmmaker, and what he plans to do for his next project.
Matthew Heineman received a degree in history from Dartmouth College in 2005. He joined some friends to start the Young Americans Project, which he describes as, "a multi-media undertaking to try to figure out what makes our generation tick." Out of this emerged Heineman's first documentary, "Our Time," which aired on the Documentary Channel in 2011. He worked with HBO for two years as a producer for "The Alzheimer's Project" before founding his own production company, Our Time Projects, in 2009. He lives and works in New York City.

The officer responded to the employee housing where the victim was staying to speak with her about what happened. The woman said she was not harassed; that the people she was talking to were former employees of the park, but they got fired. She said they were just asking her for money. The officer spoke with the security guard at the housing area, and he said both of people had been fired, were given trespass warnings and told not to return. The guard also said he would press charges. The officer saw the two who had been fired getting into their vehicle. The officer issued them a summons for third-degree criminal trespass.

A woman called from a retirement home in Dolores saying that an at-risk adult male walked away from the home, and she was unable to locate him. She said she went to bring him a glass of tea while he was on the patio, but when she returned, he was gone. The man has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. She said he had left before.

Police were called to the Ute Mountain Casino in reference to a suspicious vehicle. Surveillance showed a female sitting in her vehicle injecting something into her arm with a needle. As the officer approached the woman, he saw her trying to hide a plastic bag inside a pair of jeans and then put the jeans in the back seat. When the officer looked through the window, he noticed a napkin with blood on it in the front seat and a plastic Baggie with a white crystal substance in the back seat next to a pair of jeans. Based on training and experience as a drug investigator, the officer suspected the substance to be methamphetamine. The female in the vehicle said she was not shooting up drugs, but she had done so earlier that day. She also said she didn't know what was in the Baggie, but if it was drugs, then it was hers and not her friend's, who is the owner of the vehicle. The woman said she went to her mother's house earlier in the day to pick up some clothes, and there might have been an old Baggie of leftover methamphetamine in the pockets. She told the officer she had syringes in the vehicle and a broken meth pipe along with her medication. The officer searched the vehicle and found several other drug-paraphernalia items. The woman was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. The white crystal substance tested positive for methamphetamine and weighed about 1 gram.
Thursday, Sept. 5

So for the last 3 days me and my partner Deidra have been doing a project on brine shrimp. We tried to see what liquids they would hatch in. The materials we used were; brine shrimp, sugar water, sprit(soda), regular water, salt water,lemon water and a heat lamp. We keep the same was the amount of brine shrimp and the heat lamp. Some thing we changed was the liquids we had them in.We recorded it by days and found out that the brine shrip had hatched at least 8 or more in each liquid.
Our question was can the brine shrip hatch in different liquids?
And the conclution was yes the can hatch in diferent liquids.
I'm still curious on how they hatched in each of liquids because they all were different.

According to City-Data, Newington, Conn., is home to about 30,000 people. Located just an eight mile drive from Hartford, this desirable suburb boasts small-town charm, a friendly population and historic New England architecture. Winding residential Newington roads are lined with mature trees, while the city's many attractions and historic downtown area are lined with charming buildings, homes and shops. Those searching for Newington apartments for rent will be delighted to discover this quaint and convenient town.
Until 1871, Newington was part of the town of Wethersfield. Over time, the area's name changed from Pipestave Swamp to Cow Plain, and later to West Farms. Today, remnants of colonial settlements continue to give Newington a sense of charm. Finally, in 1721, the community of farmers bound together to create the town of Newington.
Today, Newington is a place where tradition and innovation come together. The area's excellent public school system consists of four elementary schools, two middle school and a high school, and two private schools - Saint Mary's School and Emmanuel Christian Academy - add to the town's many educational options. Indeed, Newington is a fantastic place for families: According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, about 22 percent of residents are younger than 18, and more than 88 percent of residents have graduated high school, which leads to a largely educated population.
Many of Newington's local attractions are centered around the town's historic culture. The Kelsey House, which is located on the town's attractive Main Street, was once the home of a prosperous agricultural family. Build in 1799, the house has stood at its present location for more than 30 years after being moved by the Newington Historical Society in 1979. Those searching for apartments in Newington will also want to check out the Kellogg-Eddy House and Museum, another local favorite.

24UR Anchor Caught with Pants Down on 24UR
A Slovenian news anchor, one of the hosts of 24UR, inadvertently answered a question we've all asked: "what are newscasters wearing from the waist down?" In this case, the answer is, "not much". A quick camera movement during 24UR's closing credits shows the news anchor rolling back in his chair and crossing his legs as he speaks to a female colleague. He's wearing white boxer shorts, but no trousers.
The newscaster took "the news in brief" a bit too seriously.Was this a one-off prank? Does he read the news without trousers all the time? We need to learn more about this guy.
24UR, which runs on Slovenia's POP TV, is about to see a spike in viewership, all from 17 seconds of Youtube trouserlessness.

SOURCE Silver Star Brands
OSHKOSH, Wis., Oct. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Miles Kimball Company President Vicki Updike announced today the company is changing its name to Silver Star Brands in a move to describe more accurately the multi-channel industry leader and the brand portfolio it offers. As it grows to a multi-brand, multi-channel direct-to-consumer company, the Miles Kimball name no longer accurately represents the direction, attitude and depth of the organization. As diversity in its brands and marketing channels continues to evolve, company management recognized the need to identify itself with a moniker encompassing that broader scope. Silver Star Brands represents the evolution of the Miles Kimball Company into a diversified brand management company offering a wide variety of products.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131008/NY94280LOGO )
Those brands include:
The change to Silver Star Brands is in response to the evolving consumer demand of product diversity, and multi-channel marketing, including direct mail, radio, TV, e-commerce and catalog. The company's primary target market is female aged 50 and up, with increasing demands for health, wellness and beauty products. The company mails more than 120 million catalogs each year. In addition, millions of consumers access the brands via other marketing channels, including the internet. Silver Star Brands will be the umbrella under which the current and potential new brands function.
The Miles Kimball Company has become the hallmark of a distinct legacy; however, the company name no longer adequately reflects the divergent brands developed over the last 80 years. Updike stated, "We are an evolving company which will leverage our expertise and core assets, most notably our traditional values and customer loyalty, to grow our existing brands and expand our brand portfolio." The Miles Kimball name will continue on as the flagship brand under the umbrella of Silver Star Brands.
Rob Goergen, President & Chief Operating Officer of parent company Blyth, Inc., noted "Silver Star Brands is a growth company with many exciting opportunities to reach its target market with the health & wellness and beauty products our consumer seeks. This new branding initiative reflects more aptly our customer demographics and the wide range of products we continue to develop and market."
Ms. Updike noted Silver Star Brands' corporate headquarters will remain in Oshkosh, Wisconsin where it employs approximately 500 year-round team members, a number that doubles during the peak season. Employees were notified of the name change earlier today in team meetings at the company's two Oshkosh locations.
The new name takes effect immediately with the launch of the new corporate website located at www.silverstarbrands.com. The Miles Kimball Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the company which donates over $70,000 annually, will continue to support causes and charities within the local market. The foundation name reflects the heritage of the company as it is named after the founder.
Silver Star Brands is owned by Blyth Inc. a publicly held company headquartered in Greenwich Connecticut. (NYSE: BTH). For more information about Silver Star Brands contact the corporate offices at 920-231-3800.

Students and the community - the mutual benefit of service-learning
Empowering students to contribute to their community while developing academic skills is the focus of a symposium at the University of Newcastle this week.
The University's Office of Corporate Development and Community Partnerships is bringing together education providers, government and community organisations for the inaugural Service-Learning Symposium in our region.
Service-learning is a teaching method that brings together students and community members to work on mutually beneficial projects that meet community needs and achieve curriculum outcomes.
Pro Vice-Chancellor of Corporate Development and Community Partnerships, Associate Professor Martin Fitzgerald, said service-learning had wide-ranging benefits for students and the community.
"Service-learning strengthens communities through partnerships that address real-world issues and helps develop engaged young leaders with an awareness of their social responsibility," Associate Professor Fitzgerald said.
"Students are encouraged to identify real community problems such as pollution in waterways and work with relevant organisations to develop solutions.
"Knowledge gained in the classroom is put into practice through students addressing issues of concern or relevance in the community.
"Far from being quick-fix solutions, each project looks beyond the needs of today, builds capacity in those involved and helps develop stronger communities."
Service-learning is already a popular teaching method across Europe, Asia, South America, Africa and the United States where around half of schools have community-based programs in place.
The symposium aims to introduce and extend service-learning across the Hunter region and become a model for other regions across Australia.
The Service-Learning Symposium will be held at the University of Newcastle's Great Hall on Thursday 31 July from 9am to 4.30pm.
Details of the program are available for download here (PDF 64KB) and media are welcome.
For further information please contact:

I remember that back in my grade school days, a field trip was a real treat. Even if the place we visited was not all that interesting, at least it was a day out of school. The best trips of course were those that were in fact fun and interesting.
With the holiday season approaching, I started thinking about the fact that I will soon become a Voyager as I go to visit family and friends. This reminded that I needed to plan ahead a bit if I intended to be a Survivor on my journeys.
In the past, before I had a gaming capable laptop, I remember being marooned at a relatives house with nothing to do while people slept off their holiday meals. I also remember thinking that it sure would be nice to have access to a computer and to my Steam account and be able to play my games. If you have a nice large flash drive, like a Flash Survivor® Stealth USB 3.0 or Flash Voyager® GT USB 3.0 then you have a solution that will fit into your shirt pocket!
