HOUGHTON -- Samantha Reynolds traveled all the way from Harper Middle School near Detroit to Michigan Tech to learn more about nature. It's all part of the Lake Superior Youth Symposium--a gathering of more than 200 students from Michigan, Wisconsin, and Canada, learning about wildlife.
Samantha's group hiked through the Nara Nature Trails in search of frogs.
"I thought it would be really interesting because we've done something like this back home, so this is pretty much like going further into it," said Samantha. "It's just so much better than being indoors and learning all this stuff. It's really hands-on."
The leader of the pack, Amy Schrank, a research assistant professor at Tech, said hands-on experiences are what solidify the notion of nature conservation in the students.
"Kids can really influence change in the world," said Schrank. "When the kid learns that it's really important to have aquatic habitat, they can really get behind that idea, and then you get a person who grows up as a better steward to the environment and a person who cares about the world we live in."
Although no frogs were spotted on the adventure today, there were plenty of insects to inspect.
"What we've seen are a lot of aquatic invertebrates, or bugs; we saw some caddisflies, we saw mayflies, lots of different birds, some interesting fungus," Schrank said.
Samantha said what she's gained from the hike is more than just seeing some cool bugs. She said she's learning to take care of the world now to have a better future.
"We all have to join together and become united so we can work together to sort of help out the future generations," Samantha said.

Just a heads up for anyone looking for a big pow bomber
Not mine, just figured I'd throw it out there for anyone looking. Pretty sweet stick for well under $200. 170w though, so you better be a big 'un.

Shareholders Bill Martin and Barbara J. Franks were recently appointed to the Statewide Suicide Prevention Council.
Martin is the president of the Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska. He has served as president of the Council since 2007 and is currently serving a second term.
Franks has an extensive history of working on Alaska Native and suicide prevention issues and has suffered the personal loss of a family member from suicide. She works in an administrative support position for the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium and is the state's field liaison for the national Suicide Prevention Action Network.
Both shareholders join the 15-member council that is responsible for developing and implementing a statewide suicide prevention plan and providing an annual report to the Legislature on its findings and recommendations. The Council also improves public awareness of suicide, enhances suicide prevention services and uses comprehensive, collaborative, community- and faith-based approaches in its efforts. Martin and Franks were appointed to the council in December by Governor Sarah Palin.
If you or someone you know needs to talk to someone about suicide, please call the State Suicide Prevention Hotline at 877.266.4357.
Sealaska shareholder descendant Russell Price was deployed to Afghanistan earlier this year. Price is a major with the 4th Brigade 25th Infantry Division (Airborne). Price is from Haines, Alaska.
His Tlingit name is Gaas' from the Chaak Gooch Clan (Eagle Wolf), of Kaagwaataan. His father was Warren Price Skui' weish of the Raven Clan (Ye'il) of the Xixchi Hit.
Sealaska shareholders Anita Lafferty and George Davis are among several Native people in Juneau who participated in the program StoryCorps. In partnership with KTOO, Sealaska Heritage Institute and the Juneau Public Library, StoryCorps recorded stories told by Alaskans in January.
StoryCorps is a nonprofit project that aims to bring families, friends and neighbors closer together by listening to each others' stories. SHI helped recruit shareholders to participate. Learn more online at www.sealaskaheritage.org/news

Friends, my scintillating, nay essential, thread on mouldy sails has gone all funny. It now has no title and I cannot even access it. Spare a thought for it, as it sinks nameless and unloved to oblivion.
Ha. Of course.
I should have realised that you Americans do not have horrible mould on your sails. Just as you all have perfect teeth, healthy tans, and a Charles Atlas physique.
Pardon us pitiful Cornish, denizens of the misty mouldy swamplands, bent deformed creatures barely recognisable as human, who shuffle through the cloying mud on the way to our rotting hulks . . .

Today, billions of Chinese people worldwide are ringing in the year of the rabbit by spending time at the table with their friends and family. But that's where a lot of the similarity ends; each region of China and ethnic Chinese groups have their own cultural traditions associated with the celebration.
For some, it's eating both the land and the sea; for many, especially those near the coast, it's absolutely imperative to consume copious amounts of fragrant fish.
In starch-heavy Northern Chinese cuisine, the Lunar New Year wouldn't be complete without shui jiao, or boiled dumplings, which signify wealth and prosperity because of their resemblance to ancient Chinese currency. Savor them simply with a side of soy-vinegar dipping sauce and a drizzle of chili oil. Enjoy abundance in the coming year with this recipe.

The bill would ban human cloning, and any attempts at human cloning, for both reproductive purposes and medical research. Also forbidden is the importing of cloned embryos or products made from them.

The Gordon-IN-Orvieto semester program hopes to foster in our students an attitude of responsive looking and listening for signs of new life in the traditions inhabited by artists, poets, saints, and mystics of the past, especially those of pre-modern Europe in Italy. With a discerning eye neither nostalgic nor ironic, we wish to explore the disintegrated fragments of the classical-Christian civilization of the West, raiding the past in order to rebuild the present.
Watch alumnus Tommy Matthew's video of Orvieto on YouTube!
While the Gordon-IN-Orvieto program offers a rich experience in the arts and culture of pre-modern Europe, it accepts applications from any student who:
*Non-Gordon students are welcome to apply
Students take a drawing-based interdisciplinary course that introduces the themes of the program, and then select three of six courses offered in the visual arts and humanities, for 16 academic credits in total. Students without previous study of Italian language take an additional 2-credit course in conversational Italian.
Global Understanding core credit can be fulfilled by a semester or year at Gordon IN Aix when students participate in the pre- and post-departure New Perspectives course. Lab fees apply as of Fall 2013. See the GEO for details.
Fall Semester: Gordon students must submit their online seat applications for Gordon IN Orvieto by March 15. All other supporting materials due by March 30. Non-Gordon applicants must submit their online application and all supporting materials by March 30.
Spring Semester: Gordon students must submit their online seat applications for Gordon IN Orvieto by September 30. All other supporting materials due by October 15. Non-Gordon applicants must submit their online application and all supporting materials by October 15.
Students pay normal Gordon costs* per semester including:
An additional fee of $400 supports the costs of course-related supplies and excursions.

Ask a question about this product | ||
World Building 101 – Days of Creation, #1 As Megan and Trisha think about the $100 prize for the best science project, they get assigned to work with Wendell, the class clown. And when he makes it especially difficult for them to work, the girls must find the true meaning and purpose of God's love. The Germinators – The Immune System, #2 Through a bout with a nasty cold, Trisha (with the help of her imaginative little brother Tim) learns about her immune system. Her grandparents also come to the rescue as she struggles with boredom and comes to understand the miracle of God's design in our world. The Name Game – Animal Classification, #3 Trisha and Megan team up with little Tim and his friend Max in this operation: clean out the garage. When arguments start over how the job should be done, as piles grow larger on the front lawn, the Newton's come home with a surprise that helps everyone better understand the perfect design of the Master Planner. As the World Spins – The Solar System, #4 With her interest piqued when an Astronaut visits her class, Trisha begins questioning and understanding her own place in our vast universe. Grandpa Newton helps her on her way as she discovers more science history – and little Tim joins Trisha on one more unexpected adventure. Ages: 7-12 The Bug Safari – Entomology, #5 A home bug invasion forces the Newton's to take action. And an impromptu bug safari through an old warehouse leads to a bigger adventure than anyone had hoped for. The boys come to learn an important lesson in the comprehension of God's bigger plan. The Cell-a-bration – Cytology, #6 Grandpa Newton's attention to detail once again saves the day when Trisha and Tim come up all wet from their pond animal projects. As Grandpa leads the kids through the use of an old microscope, he is quick to point out that there is much more to God's creation than meets the eye. The DNA Decoders – Genetics, #7 As Trisha finds out she needs eyeglasses, Grandpa Newton shares about genetics, heredity and DNA. When she questions him about how these scientific truths play out in real life, he sets about proving that some things are just better left in God's hands. The Pollution Solution – Ecology, #8 A hefty water bill and a summer-long drought begin a quest for change. A family landfill contest and a ride in Grandpa Newton's "Spaceship" provide the catalyst for Tim and Trisha to begin to see how important it is to take care of the planet God has given us. |

Browsing Political Studies by Subject "Constructivism"

Pretorius, Joelien (Sage, 2008)[more][less]
Abstract: This article proposes the notion of a security imaginary as a heuristic tool for exploring military isomorphism (the phenomenon that weapons and military strategies begin to look the same across the world) at a time when the US model of defence transformation is being adopted by an increasing number of countries. Built on a critical constructivist foundation, the security-imaginary approach is contrasted with rationalist and neo-institutionalist ways of explaining military diffusion and emulation. Merging cultural and constructivist themes, the article offers a 'strong cultural' argument to explain why a country would emulate a foreign military model and how this model is constituted in and comes to constitute a society's security imaginary.

Pretorius, Joelien (Sage, 2008)[more][less]
Abstract: The article proceeds from the argument that war is a social institution and not a historical inevitability of human interaction, that is, war can be "unlearned." This process involves deconstructing/dismantling war as an institution in society. An important step in this process is to understand the philosophical and cultural bases on which technology is employed as "tools" of war. The article focuses on such questions as, Is technology just viewed as instruments in the hand of its human masters in war? Does technology take on an autonomous role in war? How should we assess the impact of context (political, economic, and cultural) of technology when employed in war? By exploring these points, the article hopes to provide input into the discussion on the control of war technologies and ultimately the dismantling of war as an institution in society.

Here we go guys. I have been excited for this run for some time.
The Supps:
PES Anabeta Elite
SS Agmatine
PES Erase Pro
PES Alphamine
SS Shift
Support supps:
Fish oil
Whey protein
Starting Pics:
Official weigh in stripped of clothing = 164.4 at 14.1 percent BF
Chicken breasts
Tuna fish
Red meats (occasionally)
Peanut butter
Turkey burgers
Fresh fruit
Protein bars
whole wheat bread
Skim milk
All the talk on anabeta had me dying to try the product. Decided on choosing anabeta elite because if your going to go why not go big!
I love agmatine for a variety of reasons. Crazy pumps and insane increases in vascular appearance. I literally hurt sometimes while on it because the pumps are so strong. I have yet to try this brand but I'm sure its top notch quality because that's what this company does! Agmatine has quickly worked its way in as a staple for me.
Epro is a product that I didn't have the greatest experience with my first run but running it now will help gauge whether or not it may have been a different product I was taking at the time that created my issue's. I'm going to be picking up a few bottle's of OG erase though but figured I would take the remaining epro that I have in my supp stash. The first time I took this product I had some incredible weight loss and shredded up big time but the issue I had from it or the stack it was with was acne. I'm not prone to acne or never was before so it kind of threw me off. I will closely monitor this and I hope it doesn't create the same problem as it truly works wonders!
Last but most certainly not least is Alphamine! I'm on day 4 of this product and I can't even believe how good this stuff is. The energy is second to none in my opinion. I'm really not using it to lose weight in the first month just more to control fat and as a PWO during my bulking stage of this run.
Details on the run:
Weeks 1-4 full out bulk.
If you know me I run a strict diet with very low carb in take. During this period I will throw that out the window. There will be clean up days but not nearly as many as usual. I will also be limiting my cardio in order to avoid inhibiting gains.
Weeks 5-6 recomp.
Cardio will step up a notch and diet will be cleaner. Carbs limited 3-4 days a week.
Weeks 7-8 recomp/cut.
Cardio daily, and extremely low carb diet. This is the best way I cut. Carbs go out the window and protein is jacked up higher then normal to make up for it. I hope to use this time to shred down and really let Alpha shine, I want to see what this run produced.

Harvesting revisited
I've spent some time writing about how to harvest objects to produce documents. The result is some documentation of a yet-to-be-implemented "Render2″ library. It is basically a description of some languages which are at once more powerful and yet also simpler than the RenderObjects and RenderXML library languages.
Once implemented, the Render2 code will:
- Be easier to use than RenderObjects and RenderXML
- Be more powerful than RenderObjects and RenderXML
- Be more easily extensible than RenderObjects and RenderXML
The idea is still the same as in RenderObjects and RenderXML:
- "Stylesheets" tell the Render2 engine what to do when encountering an object in the database (when retrieving), or what to do with XML elements (when parsing XML).
- These "Stylesheets" basically tell what to do at the start and/or end of an object or XML element.
- The "Stylesheets" are ordered in a tree, with inheritance semantics between them.
- "What to do" at the start/end of an object / XML element is expressed in a second language, called a "template language". The template language is quite powerful (both for the old RenderObjects/RenderXML library and the new Render2 library), and has support for things like variables, lists, counters, etc.
What's new in the Render2 library includes:
- "RenderObjects2″ stylesheets can inherit from other "RenderObjects" stylesheets. This is not just for RenderXML stylesheets any more.
- The new template language is more regular, with less idiosyncrasies, and more expressive power. This expressive power comes in part from the new concept of "pockets" (see below).
- The new template language introduces the idea of functions. A number of built-in functions will be provided. I am debating with myself whether to include a small scripting language in which the user can express functions themselves. We'll see.
- The new template language introduces the idea of expressions, which can be used in such places as "if" templates, and in parameters to function-calls.
- The new stylesheet language (in which the template language is embedded) has a very, very simple grammar which fits in about 12 grammar-rules in Extended Backus-Naur Form. This alone should make it easier to use than the current JSON-embedded stylesheet language. The simple grammar makes it very, very easy to remember how to create a stylesheet, with very few "what you don't know will hurt you" surprises.
- The new stylesheet language introduces the idea of strings that are """triple-quoted". This idea has been stolen from Python. The idea is to be able to use "single quotes" and newlines within """triple-"quote" strings""" witout needing to escape them with backslashes. This should not only make the new stylesheets easier to use in practice (because of fewer backslashes); it should also make them more beautiful.
- The new Stylesheet language uses the idea of "packet" to encompass all the different kinds of things you put into a stylesheet. Basically, a stylesheet unit is an ordered list of "packets", where each packet has a packet name and a packet class (telling us how to use it), and a packet always belongs to exactly one stylesheet. Internally, a packet is no more, no less than an ordered list of key/value pairs. (This ordered list of key/value pairs may turn into a map/dictionary, but that is not part of the syntax, only part of the semantics).
- The old RenderObjects/RenderXML stylesheets had the disadvantage that it was sometimes difficult to see which stylesheet we were currently looking at, since the stylesheet name was only mentioned once, at the top of the stylesheet. The new stylesheet language repeats the stylesheet name for every "packet", making it easier to orient oneself in the stylesheet unit file.
- The C++ API to the Render2 library has been greatly simplified as compared to the RenderObjects/RenderXML library.
- The Render2 library takes a Set of Monads, not a range of monads, when needing to retrieve objects. This generalization makes it much more powerful than the old RenderObjects/RenderXML library.
The idea of "pockets" has been introduced. A "pocket" is a map/dictionary which maps strings to lists of strings. In addition, each pocket has a name which is a C identifier. The idea that one can redirect the output to a pocket, and that one can refer to the list of strings in a pocket by pocket-name coupled with pocket-key, has turned out to be quite powerful and general, supporting within one data-structure such diverse concepts as: variables, counters, integer-arithmetic, lists, and the "pockets" themselves, which can be used to output stuff "later" in the document than otherwise would have been the case.
Interested parties are welcome to ask for the documentation. The documentation is still a work-in-progress, but implementation will hopefully start soon.

LETTERS From P. E. Rayner, Binstead:
I WAS one of the many Islanders caught up in the chaos on Thursday last. I arrived at Gunwharf to get on the 4.30pm ferry and finally got home on foot after 11pm, having had to abandon my car at Fishbourne in a car park.
I am a supporter of the festival but, like many Islanders, I never want to be held to ransom by the event again. I resent not getting to see my children at all on Thursday. I know of someone who had to reschedule a relative's flight to Europe in fear of not being able to make it off the Island on Monday.
And to have to miss a funeral at the crematorium due to gridlock is inexcusable.
Where does all this leave us for next year? This Island, as we are frequently reminded when the fixed-link debate is revisited, does not have the infrastructure to cope with increased traffic; fact. While there may have been certain mitigating circumstances, ie weather, the IW can not function as normal with such a vast influx of traffic.
I hope the council/organiser /police and anyone else involved, will start from the stance that we are an Eco island next time around, rather than trying to ignore that fact.
What about this?
a) Festival goers park on the mainland and are taken from whichever ferry port they arrive at by coach.
b) Any traffic which does come is directed to satellite car parking areas such as Robin Hill and Brickfields etc and people are shuttled in to the campsite. Parking at the campsite is strictly for those with proven mobility issues.
The IW is different. Let's hope the logistics for getting to and past the IOW Festival in 2013 will be, too.

Getting global with Digg's Kevin Rose, part 2
LONDON--In the first part of our interview with Digg founder Kevin Rose at the Future of Web Apps conference, CNET News asked the Web start-up poster boy about everything from the company's Series C funding round to whether he's concerned about when those election stories stop rolling in.
In part 2, Rose got a little more specific: What would happen if Digg got hit with a stock-plunging news hoax? Will he be making acquisitions? And most importantly, does "digg" mean anything dirty in any foreign languages?
CNN had that big debacle with a user-submitted story, about … Read more

350 Tucson photo
Monday, October 26th, 2009In case you missed the October 24 photo shoot of the Tucson 350.org event, part of the worldwide International Day of Climate Action, here's one of the photos taken by Green Party activist Dave Croteau. The Tucson 350 event was held at the Tucson Chinese Cultural Center on River Road.
Log onto 350.org for lots of amazing photos from all over the world, including one taken on Mauna Kea (White Mountain), on the Big Island of Hawaii, where I was born and raised.
"On 24 October, people in 181 countries came together for the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet's history. At over 5200 events around the world, people gathered to call for strong action and bold leadership on the climate crisis."

Long enough layover?Oct 6, 201310I am looking at flights from Winnipeg to Vegas. There is a layover at MSP but it is only 37 minutes long. Is that enough time to make the connecting flight? I haven't booked the flights yet so I don't know which Concourses I would be using.champposted on Sat, Oct 5

enough time to transfer planesJan 29, 201210i'm traveling from lacross to new york, with a stop over in msp for 40 minutes. is that enough time to change planesogposted on Sun, Jan 29Most likely your airlines took that transfer time into account when you booked. Generally, it depends on which airlines you arrive/depart at/from MSP. MSP has Terminals 1 & 2 - not situated in the same area. Look at your ticket - Most likely you will use Terminal 1 (the Lindbergh terminal) - which has Concourses A through G. Look at your ticket for your gates (i.e., gate E16, G10, etc. - indicating the Concourse). 2. 1. Concourses C and A are served by the Concourse Tram. Concourse B is connected by a short tunnel to Concourse A. There is a Concourse connector between Concourses G and C. Concourses G, F, E & D can be reached by foot. 2. From ticketing & baggage claim to the light rail station to Minneapolis: Take escalator or elevator down to level T, where an underground tram takes you to the transit center; then follow signs to the light rail transit station. T2-Humphrey - has only gates H1-5 at left and H6-10 at right.MUCposted on Sun, Jan 29
One hour layover enough?Jan 10, 201210I'm flying Delta from Salt Lake City to London, Heathrow. I have a one hour layover in MSP. Will this be enough time to go through customs, get bags moved to our new flight, etc.?roma99posted on Mon, Jan 91. Delta uses Terminal 1 (Lindbergh) Concourses, A, B, C, D, F & G with corresponding gates. Therefore, you need to look at your ticket to see which gate you arrive at and depart from at MSP. 2. Only international arrivals, including US citizens, need to pass customs. 3. At Salt Lake City make sure your bags are properly tagged to stopover & end destination - they should be claimed a Heathrow. 4. Note that Concourses C & A are served by a concourse tram, and Concourse B is connected by short tunnel to Concourse A. You can reach all concourses by foot. Your 1-hr transfer time should suffice.MUCposted on Tue, Jan 10
Enough time to catch transfer flight?Dec 9, 201220We are a family of 5 arriving Minneaplois International from Narita/Japan and transiting to Orlando. Agent had booked us flights that have 1.5 hours between ETA and ETD. Do we have time to clear immigration, retrieve baggage, clear customs, redeposit checked baggage, go thru departure security and still make the Orlando flight? What tips/ suggestions you may have to help ensure we do not miss the Orlando flight?DWXmasposted on Wed, Dec 7For a family of five you have very little time to spare, as you need to complete - as an international arrival - at the Terminal 1-Lindbergh - the passport control, luggage pickup, customs clearance and baggage recheck-in procedure. Count on 45-60 mins at this time of the year. Don't know what ETA & ETD means. Gates are numbered by concourses (i.e. C8, B16, etc.), Hopefully you arrive & depart from the Lindbergh terminal; however, Delta flights to Orlando leave at H, G & F gates - H gates being in the T2-Humphrey Terminal, which is accessible only by light rail and getting there would take too long. Look at your ticket to see which gates you arrive & depart from. The Lindbergh Terminal 1 is surrounded on the upper level on three sides by Concourses A through G (Concourses C & A are served by a tram) Concourses E & F are in the center, Concourse G is to the left, Concourse D is to the right, south of D are Concourses C, B & A. Concourse A being farthest --close to Lumack Drive; Separate Concourse B has on the upper level gates B1-16, and on the lower level a tunnel to Concourses A/C. A Concourse Connector connects Concourses G & C. Concourses G, F, E & D can be reached by foot.MUCposted on Thu, Dec 8I think that usually 1.5 hours will be sufficient time. If you find yourself still in line anywhere as your departure time approaches, one of your family should go to an official at the head of the line and explain that your flight leaves soon. Often they will do what they can to expedite your passage. I suggest that you minimize checked baggage, and obviously make sure that all of your paperwork and identification is well organized.SEWposted on Sun, Dec 9

Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission 1111 Israel Road S.W., P.O. Box 42650, Olympia, WA 98504-2650, (360) 902-8500 Don Hoch, Director
State Parks holds public information meeting on necessary tree work at Lake Easton State Park
OLYMPIA – Feb. 14, 2012 – The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission announces a public meeting Feb. 22, to discuss forest-health issues at Lake Easton State Park and to seek public comment on proposed treatments to deal with tree diseases in specific areas of the park. The meeting will be from 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 22, at the South Cle Elum Depot, 801 Milwaukee Ave., South Cle Elum. The park is located just west of the town of Easton on the south side of I-90 at 150 Lake Easton State Park Road, Easton. Forest health issues have been identified in and around the area near the park's western campground, day-use area, and boat launch. Park staff have noticed a gradual but growing pattern of trees dying around these areas of the park. In consultation with Department of Natural Resources pathologists, staff identified tree pathogens -- particularly a disease known as laminated root rot -- in portions of these sites and in the adjacent forest. This pathogen can cause trees to fall with little or no warning, potentially posing significant risk to visitors, staff and facilities. State Parks has identified the need to remove trees on approximately 17.5 acres within and adjacent to these developed park landscapes and is seeking public comment on the proposed treatments. Anyone who is unable to attend the meeting may provide comments and receive additional information by contacting the park directly by phone, (509) 656-2586 or by email, email@example.com. Lake Easton State Park is a forested, 516-acre year-round camping park with 24,000 feet of freshwater access on the shores of Lake Easton in the Cascade Mountain foothills. The park has mountain views and hiking trails to explore in the summer and cross country and snowmobiling trails for winter recreation activities. The Commission manages a diverse system of more than 100 state parks and recreation programs, including long-distance trails, boating safety and winter recreation. The 98-year-old park system will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2013. Support state parks by purchasing your Discover Pass today, and enjoy a whole year of outdoor fun on Washington's beautiful state-managed recreation lands.

This doll was given to my daughter by Santa this year. She has played with it almost everyday since she has had it. The doll is soft and has a great magnetic "bink" pacifer that your child can easily take on and off. My daughter also loves to take her clothes off and her cloth diaper. I haven't bought any other clothes for this doll yet but I am planning to do so for her birthday.

About Me First Time Parent, Working Parent
Comments about Manhattan Toy Baby Stella Doll - Peach:
I love this doll. My daughter received her as a gift when she was 1 and immediately became attached to her. When she goes down for a nap or for bed she rubs the hair. We have one Stella doll without hair now because she rubbed it off. We also own 3 other Stella dolls plus one that stays at daycare with her for nap time. I do wash her, I just put her in a pillowcase and put her in the washer.

About Me Education Oriented, Parent of Two or More Children, Working Parent
My 2yr old received this doll as a gift for Christmas last year and she loves it! The doll is soft and squeezable, you can throw her in with the wash when she gets dirty. The only problem I've noticed is if the doll is dropped on the ground outside the magnetic mouth will pick up gravel, which is difficult to clean off. Overall, wonderful toy!

Lovely doll

I bought Baby Stella for a granddaughter's first birthday and she loves her. I also got the bed and the feeding kit. The doll and baby take naps at the same time and eat together.Something about this doll appeals to even a twelve month old as she smiles when she sees her and hugs her tightly.

We got this for our daughter on her first birthday. She huged the doll as soon as she took it out of the gift bag. She is constantly putting the binkie in her own mouth though. I wish it were a plastic binkie. It is alway damp from her saliva.

Perfect for the Little Ones
By Mimi
from near New Orleans
I purchased this for my 14 month old granddaughter. Her deceased grandmother's name was Stella, so it caught my daughter's eye. Because I wasn't able to get the doll in time for Christmas, I have chosen to save it for my granddaughter for Easter. I was very impressed with the doll. It's soft, very pretty, and the perfect size for her little arms. My granddaughter also uses a pacifier, so I think that detail will appeal to her. I can't wait to give it to her. I might have to give her a Valentine's Day gift!

My mom got my daughter this doll for Christmas. My daughter LOVES it!! Plays with her everyday and it's funny to watch her steal the pacifier from it.
Love baby Stella!
By JennyM
from indiana
My daughter and I love baby Stella! I got her for my daughter's first birthday. I wasn't sure if she would take to her right away or not because I thought she might be too young to enjoy a doll and/or roll play. Boy, was I wrong! She loves her. The doll is adorable, very soft, and a great size for a young child. Haven't washed her yet but I think she will wash good. She also has a realistic look...ie, belly button, toes, ect so she is good for teaching body parts! Only thing I do not like is that her pants always fall off because the baby has a pot belly and after being dragged Around, they tend to fall off! However this does not bother my daughter, in fact she likes to take them off Nd give her to me so she can watch me "change" her diaper!
Even cuter in person!!

About Me Aunt
Purchased for niece's first birthday. It's soft, cuddly and easy to carry for little ones in the early stages of walking. Don't have to worry about it hurting them if they fall with it. Bought the feeding accessory set and love the magnetic pacifier that stays put. Great accessories for interactive role playing. For Christmas I'm adding another accessory, Baby Stella's Moses bed. So far I highly recommend this product.

Science however argues that this isn't at all possible, we can only do what the physical and mental limitations we work with can allow. Instead of spirit, science tells us, it is judgment that allows us to succeed in sport.
Looking to science for the edge
Yet more and more sport is relying on science to try to conquer the odds. Physiological testing isn't anything new in sport. Testing on athletes was first conducted with a view to better understand human physiology itself, only then later being turned around to better understand how to train the athletes themselves.
The concept of VO2 max, which is the fundamental measurement for athletic ability, has existed since English Physiologist A.V. Hill introduced the concept in the 1920's. The recognized protocols for measuring Vo2 max have themselves been around since the mid 1950's.
Since then assessments through performance tests have become an integral component of all sports training programs. They can be used to apply different types and levels of workload to training programs as well as to systematically track physiological changes over a period of time.
Typically, testing protocols and methods are single discipline perspectives of one element of performance. For sports such as team or ball sports, due to their complexity, this can require a detailed analysis of the sport by the coach to asses which physiological or biometric tests to carry out, and how best to view them to offer some perspective of the athletes abilities. In rugby for example you can test a players fitness, how far and how fast he can run, or the action of his passing, but you cannot test all of these together in a realistic competition situation.
However for sports such as running or cycling, the relative simplicity of the sports means testing can accurately mirror the components of the sport in lab conditions. Track cycling in particular, with its balancing act between physiology and technology (as well as having very few external variables- such as the weather or unpredictable road surfaces that you might get in road cycling) is the perfect sport to be influenced by laboratory testing.
Cycling the perfect fit for lab testing
The ideal cyclist has a high power to weight ratio as well as the smallest possible frontal surface area. Both of these factors can be accurately assessed using laboratory testing.
The frontal surface area itself is addressed in a laboratory, using Formula 1 wind tunnel testing to allow riders to refine their aerodynamics through bike design and adjustments to the riders racing position. This is something that is closely scrutinized by the sports governing body, the UCI, so as not to allow bicycle design to significantly alter as it did when Greame Obree famously revolutionized riding positions (not once but twice) in the mid-nineties.
Physiological Lab testing also allows the riders themselves, much like the machines they ride, to be finitely adjusted to improve their performance. It is something that has been wholeheartedly endorsed by British Cycling since sports scientist Peter Keen, the man behind the success of another cycling Olympic gold-medalist Chris Boardman, took over the reins of the national team program in 1999.
At the time the concept of lab testing for bike riders caused something of a stir amongst the athletes themselves, many of whom believed that testing in a lab was still too far removed from the realities of racing. Ken Matheson, who was at the time head coach for the Great Britain team, and now runs his own coaching business, explains
"A lot of riders didn't like the idea of testing, of being put in laboratory conditions with people in white coats, pricking their ears and taking measurements while they pushed themselves to their limit. We found that many riders would try to schedule the tests for their rest day for example, so it didn't interfere with their training, which isn't ideal. We then had to turn this on its head and use it as a lesson to show them that they hadn't recovered from their training as quickly as they imagined. I think the testing had a great value for this and the riders could see the benefit."
One of the riders who will form a key part of Great Britain's plans for success in the Olympic velodrome this summer is Rapha Condor Sharp's Ed Clancy. Clancy, already a gold medalist at Bejing, is undoubtedly one of the world's best track riders, and he openly welcomes the importance the British team puts on testing.
"Perhaps more than a lot of riders I am quite keen on knowing where I'm at. I like to train with SRM's and heart rate. I think that is why I enjoy the track so much. Sometimes it gets a bit clinical and regimented, but most of the time I enjoy the fact you can put numbers on everything and you can see where you are."
But while the process of being tested remains an unnatural affair, a shift in methods between max testing to sub-maximal testing has made the actual process significantly less unpleasant.
The original premise for testing was to establish a riders limits or specifically his peak sustainable power for sixty seconds. This type of testing required riders' to make an enormous effort in the test, and took several days to prepare for adequately, as Clancy affirms
"If you want to do a really accurate peak power test then you've got to have a couple of days off and get up for it mentally and make sure you're well fuelled. In a race situation it is natural to go flat out, but to do it on a stationary rig is a lot harder on the mind."
These oft-dreaded Max tests, while ideal for testing the limitations of rider's capabilities, proved to have little actual relevance to racing. The intensity of the effort required would mean that the rider couldn't recover significantly to make further efforts and was therefore not ideally suited to an 'endurance' event, such as the blue-ribbon event of track cycling the team pursuit.
Looking to the Functional Threshold Power
The focus instead is now on discovering and monitoring riders Functional Threshold Power (FTP). The functional threshold test is a sub-maximal test that determines the limit the rider can hold without going into the 'red'. It is this level, which stays just within the riders aerobic limit, that a rider has to be able to sustain for endurance competition.
"While we might do one max test a year our focus is more on threshold tests. This is done, like the max test, on a stationery bike with an electronic brake to increase resistance. We go up in 30 watt stages every few minutes, so you'd start for example at 200 watts and go up to 230, 260 290 and perhaps go up to 410 watts, all the while the sports scientists are taking our heart rate and blood lactate (that is the one they are really interested in) as well as measuring how much CO2 we are blowing out so they can see what sort of fuel sources we are burning – carbohydrates or fat. What they are essentially looking at is where our threshold is where we get lactic acid and go beyond that point of no return".
This change in the type of test has been a major benefit for the riders, as the previous testing methods meant that riders had to lose several precious days of training for a test (which although useful had no training effect). Instead, explained Clancy, the threshold test can be undertaken without the same build up required for max testing.
"For the threshold test you don't have to prepare specifically for. Your threshold doesn't really change that much dependent on whether you are super fresh or not, so in terms of tapering down or getting ready you don't have to do much for a test now."
While lab testing at a sub-maximal level is certainly more agreeable for the riders mentally, and does produce more useful results, a lab is still an expensive and unnatural environment and it can be distracting and time consuming for the rider to have to go there. The key it seems is to keep the testing to a limited numbers of times under lab conditions, but at the same time continually monitoring the riders progress.
Clancy reckons he "only did 4 or 5 tests in the lab last year". However he also explained that the technology that has put individual powermeters on bikes (in cranks, hubs or pedals), now means that each and every ride becomes a test of sorts.
"When you are on SRM cranks, essentially every session you do, every day is a little test, with guys looking at your SRM data and looking at your lap splits. If you look at it like that it is like we have a little mini-test everyday."
The problem with lab based testing on a regular basis according to another Rapha Condor Sharp rider, and member of the Great Britain Olympic track team, Andy Tennant is that a rider can simply get good at doing tests.
"If you test too often you can just get good at doing the tests, your body will adapt to the effort of the test and you don't really get a true result."
He also goes on to explain that there are ways to effectively cheat a test, "There used to be a guy on the MTB squad who would hardly eat anything in the days running up to the test, so his weight would drop very low and then he'd just fuel up on Coca-cola and caffeine and he'd whack out good wattage compared to his weight."
Many riders in the past have indeed struggled with the concept of testing, regarding the test is a result in itself, whereas, as Matheson explains the crucial point is that "there is no such thing as a bad result, but there is a result that needs to be interpreted, and that is the role of the sports scientist or coach."
The riders themselves though have come to accept testing as a part of their sport, so the psychological risk that riders could lose their self-confidence if they scored poorly on a test has been eradicated.
Clancy told us, "The thing is when you are younger you sort of stress about the test and think 'oh god what if I do a shit test' or but these days you can see its not a win or lose thing, its just a case of seeing where you're at. Perhaps you need a bit of work or maybe you are in a good place, or you need to spend a bit of time in a different area (of training-Ed). It is just looking for information and from a blunt sort of cold hearted point of view saying 'this is where I am at' and then going from there."
Peak performance at the perfect time
By testing only a limited number of times in the lab and on an almost daily basis with the riders on the track, British Cycling have the perfect balance between the science and sport- or heart and head if you will. They are maximizing their use of technology to put the ideal model for training in place. The reliability, accuracy and quality of the lab test results are backed up by the easy and immediate nature of the tests on the track. When interpreted by coaches the riders can be brought to their peak performance at the perfect time.
In 2000 the German four-man team pursuit team took the world record for the first time in history to below four minutes for the four kilometer test, recording a time of 3.59.710. By 2008, when Clancy and his British team mates had applied science effectively to their training, the record dropped to a staggering 3.53.314, a time that would have been almost unthinkable only eight years previously.
Professional sport (which for the last 16 years has included the Olympics) is now big business, and winning or not winning has huge financial implications. It is no wonder then that nothing can be left to chance and that sportsmen are turning from faith to science to find the means to succeed. It might be more practical than romantic, but the results speak for themselves.

In January 2009 the Welsh Assembly Government issued a Travel Behaviour Code. The code is compulsory for all learners up to the age of 19 years (or over 19 years if they started their course before reaching 19).
The code applies to all modes of travel to and from education institutions. This will include contract buses, public buses, public trains, walking, taxis, scooters and motorbikes, cycling and journeys in the learners own or other cars. Learners must comply with the code whilst travelling to and from their place of learning.
The code sets out standards of behaviour expected of a learner when travelling to and from their place of learning. Parents should ensure the learner has understood the code and must encourage good behaviour. Parents must ensure their children comply with the code.
In the event that a learner does not comply with the Travel Behaviour Code the Local Authority can for a period withdraw an individual's entitlement to free transport.
