Childhood cancers top public priorities for children's health research
Updated On: Sep 23 2013 07:55:47 AM EDT
Childhood cancers are rated as the top public priority for children's health research. According to the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health, childhood cancer was endorsed most frequently as "very important," followed by diabetes, and then birth defects and other genetic problems.
According to C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among children in the United States. One out of five children diagnosed with cancer does not survive.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and C.S. Mott Children's Hospital is kicking off a campaign called "Block Out Cancer" to promote awareness of groundbreaking pediatric cancer research that's underway at the University of Michigan.
Each day this month, you can read a new blog highlighting ways faculty, staff, families, volunteers and donors are doing their part to "Block Out Cancer."

Tech School Grand Opening
We covet your prayers as we prepare for the Grand Opening of our Technical School. Before the 2010 earthquake, we had more than 350 students in many different trades classes. After the earthquake, the reconstruction of our school made it next to impossible to hold regular classes except for in ESL, computers and Bible. We are eagerly looking forward to the re-opening of classes and the start of a greater school for an area of Haiti that has no other technical trade schools functioning.
Please pray for us as we need to raise funds to fully equip our trades classes. Each class varies in needs of $5,000 to $50,000 to fully furnish. We also need to raise $10,000/ month to support new teaching staff and faculty for the technical school. We hope to hire 25 new staff this year 2013-2014.

A revised and updated edition of Leadership Training;
a course to develop servant abilities particularly in worship a
setting, the book was first published in 1975 and has been
completely redesigned and updated. This is the eighth printing, now
published by 21st Century Christian. The book has helped
to develop Christian character and leadership skills in thousands of
people young and old with a positive approach, practical methods and
built in directions for making talks, leading singing and prayers,
reading scripture, serving at the Lord's Table, and greeting
Three features are especially appealing: (1) this may be the only
book with instructions on how to baptize, what to say, even
how to hold a person. (2) It has a graduation program to involve
the whole family and the congregation. (3) A special Instructor's
Notes and Checklist provides
step-by-step details for each of the twelve sessions including a
class setup and supply list. This latest edition was developed with
programs like Lads to Leaders and Equip Classes in mind.
In the 1960's many preachers held "gospel meetings", some called
"revivals". One of the more popular features of some meetings was
the Q & A portion. Most of the time the same questions were asked
at all the meetings: some serious and some not (Where did Cain get
his wife?). The serious ones usually fell generally into the same
categories which gave me an outline of what to cover in a
Personal Evangelism class.
This class outline of "What do people most often ask about
concerning the church?" had nineteen subjects, later enlarged to
twenty-one when "Conversions" and "Attendance" kept coming up in
classes. The first West End class was so well received and the
resulting baptisms so encouraging that the elders asked that the
class be repeated. For this class I eagerly printed 10,000 copies
of a tract titled,
"Basic Bible Doctrines Index". The tract
flopped. It seems no one wanted to use, or hand to someone, a tract
on "Bible Doctrines". It was too intimidating! Someone
suggested to me the tract be called, "A pocket Bible Ready
Reference for Personal Workers". So, same material, same
design, just different name; and the success of this printed
material has been phenomenal.
The original
cover, at left, of he tract was printed on canary paper with
black ink. In 2006
21st Century Christian bought Parchment Press
and the
copyrights to the Ready Reference and Leadership
Training publications and they have set them in new
type and covers and have them listed in their
catalog and online. At the time they made the purchased there had
been at least 7,600,000 copies of the Ready Reference
printed in all
languages, assuming the accuracy of the reporting.

The Bible Centered Studies Series:
The series is a eleven book edition of subjects written for
Christian Youth Camp Bible classes over a period of fourteen years.
Each of the editions consisted of a Teacher's Handbook and
the associated Student Guide containing
a special instructional method utilizing rote. Each
book had from 60 to 100 Key words or terms related to the Bible
subject. The method used in the series is not solely rote,
although the word helps to describe the methodology.
The Bible Centered Studies method permits students in a
camp Bible class, or Vacation Bible School class, to have a ready
for use vast amounts of material, but initially responsible for
relatively few key terms and definitions. The teacher using
the Bible and the Handbook introduces the key word and its
definition one at a time. Emphasis is placed upon the key
terms, the definition and the outlines and the meaning of each.
Whenever the student is asked to identify any
key word or term at anytime the student should be able to give the
definition and vise versa. For instance, if when studying
Bible Characters the student is asked to identify
"Abraham" the reply would be, "Father of the faithful". For
study purposes a "Student Guide" is provided which is color coded to
the Teacher Handbook. Each Handbook contains
instructions for a one week and a two weeks camp, a section of
"Incentives for Learning" and a double elimination contests to
challenge campers and students while having fun learning the facts
of the Bible.
The eleven books in the Bible Centered Studies Series are:
The Bible, 1960 A history
of the English Bible and annotated outline of the contents.
The History of God People, 1963
Bible Geography, 1965
Jesus of the Bible, 1965
Wisdom Books of the Bible, 1966
Bible Doctrine, 1967
Bible Evidences, 1968
Bible Survey, 1969
Bible Characters, 1970
History of the Bible Church,
The Godhead and the Bible,
The Church Usher's Guide, 1967,
was first published as a tract then in 1970 it was published as a
small booklet. The art work in this volume was done by June
Campbell. During the late 60's and through the late 1990's the
volume enjoyed wide use and sales. It was revised and expanded
in 1988 to include a section on the responsibilities of the "Head
Usher" a position found in many churches a the time.
The revised edition was titled The Art of Greeting and Seating:
THE CHURCH USHER'S GUIDE, 1988. This edition was reprinted
many times until the sale of Parchment Press.
Directory of Alabama Church of Christ, 1976,
was the first comprehensive listing of all the churches in Alabama
and contained a brief history of the Rocky Springs congregation, the
oldest church of Christ in Alabama predating the age of Alexander
Parchment Notes on the New Testament, (college
textbook), 1976, was originally conceived as the first volume of a
series of textbooks for use in the Bible classes of Christian
colleges and universities. The material for this work
grew largely out of classes taken at Harding University School of
Religion, Memphis, Tennessee. For several years it was used as
a freshman Bible course textbook at Alabama Christian College, (now
a part of Faulkner University) and the extension campuses, at
Alabama Christian School of Religion, at Freed-Hardeman College (now
university), and in one course at David Lipscomb College (now
Lipscomb University).
Another widely used
Parchment Press college course publication of mine was the
Greek Translation Form, Birmingham, AL, 1975,
and reprinted for many years. The Form enabled first year
Greek students to translate the Bible text identifying the parts of
speech and the Greek declination forms as verification of correct
grammar. At the bottom of the form was a place for a smooth
translation of the verse. The form was used in many Christian
colleges over a period of 25 years.
First published in 1963, my first effort in producing a book, the
Comprehensive Topical and Textual LESSON COMMENTARY
INDEX to Elam's Notes, Annual Lesson Commentary, Teacher's
Annual Lesson Commentary, 1922-1982 has enjoyed five editions,
one published every five years for 25 years. It was the volume
that after attempting to persuade B. C. Goodpasture and the Gospel
Advocate to print the volume and failing, I decided to publish it
myself and started Parchment Press to do so. Beginning with
the 4th Edition I started giving my wife, Glenda, equal credit as
the author since she had done as much work on it as had I. The
Advocate was among the principle bookstore distributors, a fact that
was frequently called to the attention of Goodpasture.
A Condensed Harmony of the Gospels is a brief outlined

From 1964 through 1996 the three sets of Bible Drill Flash Cards
have been continuously published, first in a stack of 50 cards bound
in a slide wrapper, then in boxed sets, and since 1987 in a plastic
spiral binding. The three subjects are General Bible
Knowledge, Bible Characters, and The Church. Each set features a
special Teacher Aid enabling users to both see the question on the
Flash Card and to read the answer, knowing at all times what is
being shown on the face card; and especially useful feature for
beginning and substitute Bible class teachers. For many years
these Flash Cards were among the more popular teaching aids with
thousands being sold each year. Set A was the most popular and
Set C the least. The sets were used by churches of Christ and
other groups. Probably because of the trend in churches to
make their "Bible Classes" more entertaining and less educational,
the buyer of Parchment Press chose not to continue the publication
of the Flash Cards.
Set A covers general Bible knowledge.
Set B covers Bible Characters
Set C covers the Church.

For many individual who are living in this 21st century, they must have to be engaged in one or more popular social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter which they considered that significantly impacted most of their daily lives.
In the age of social media, Twitter has profoundly changed our lives and how we interact with one another and the world that surrounds us in which the noise level have increased. Though, it makes a terrible first impression to the society. Upon hearing that this new service that lets you send with a maximum length of 140-characters updates to your friends or your fast Twitter followers, many have disappointed and scratched their heads. However, they don't know how great Twitter is.
Here are some reasons why you have to use Twitter:
- Twitter is a micro-blogging platform. Thus, it's easy to make a quick tweet telling the world what you're currently doing and other activities. It's a great way to stay connect with your friends and family even they're halfway across the world.

As the world of Internet has shifted from text to video, there are now over millions of internet users who watched video each and every day. Moreover, if one picture says a thousand words, then a video tells a whole story. Since video usage is growing and paved its waves to the social media, businessmen can't ignore video as a feasible marketing channel.
Why Video is Important for Marketing?
Online video marketing is becoming increasingly popular among business to business marketers wanting to create an impressive online presence, and its reason is not hard to figure it out. Video allows businesses to create and share a remarkable content with their audience in a way that a simple text will never match. People love videos because they don't always have the patience to read because of a lengthy description of a certain product. They would rather choose to watch a video that tells them more than words possibly could.
How Video Marketing Works?
Video marketing has taken over marketing. Thus, if you're not using video marketing, you're probably missing out on a huge market opportunity. It is not just the simple number of people who are watching the video is important but rather, it's the reasons why they watch it. When you upload an online marketing video to a video sharing site like YouTube, you're making a great way to your success. YouTube is one of the most powerful marketing platforms. When you market your videos by simply uploading it on YouTube, you may have the chance to be exposed to a massive audience and see them shared over and over to get YouTube comments and views.
How to get YouTube comments and Views?
Uploading YouTube video and figuring out the best ways to market them and generate traffic in them is not easy. Most of the marketers that upload videos to YouTube don't thoroughly understand how to get the attention of the people to watch their videos. After giving their full time to create a video to market and end up with nobody seeing them, that's totally a pitiful act. However, there's still another way to build up your YouTube exposure, you can buy YouTube views and comments. The moment you buy YouTube comment and views, expect the unexpected popularity you've been wishing for. So, don't hesitate to buy now!Read More

Interest in meat goats increasing
It seems everyone in the world eats goat meat but Americans. However, the preference for goat meat in the U.S. is rapidly increasing, as reflected in the record high prices of the last two years.
"This increase in consumption is primarily related to a rapidly growing population from traditional goat consuming residents," said Jodie Pennington, Ph.D., small ruminant educator with Lincoln University Extension.
Presently, 16 percent of the U.S. population is Hispanic and 4 percent of the population is Asian. The Hispanic population in the U.S. has grown five-fold since 1970.
"The Hispanic population should provide a significant consumer base for goat meat products, particularly fresh goat meat served around festivals or significant occasions," said Pennington.
Since many Hispanics are Christian, and many are Catholic, producers can expect the highest consumption periods of goat meat for Hispanics, especially Mexicans, to be around Christmas, New Years, and Easter according to Pennington.
"With Cinco de Mayo being May 5, it also increases goat meat consumption by Mexicans during the period surrounding Easter," said Pennington.
For those celebrating the Western or traditional Easter, the ideal goat is a milk-fed kid weighing 30 pounds. For those celebrating the Eastern, Orthodox or Greek Easter (which generally coincides with, or follows, the Western Easter), a slightly larger, 35-pound milk-fed kid is preferred. However, larger goats are also acceptable but may sell for slightly less per pound.
"The Latino market prefers a suckling kid weighing 20 to 35 pounds with larger kids preferred for pit barbecuing," said Pennington.
The U.S. is also experiencing growth in religious groups that prefer goat meat, particularly those of the Muslim/Islam faith.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, which lasts for 29 or 30 days. Festival meals take place each night since no food is consumed between sunrise and sunset.
Male or female kids that are less than 1 year old and weigh 60 pounds are desired, but weaned kids between 45 to 120 pounds may be acceptable. For the past few years, Ramadan has coincided with September to November, the months when most kids are weaned and sold.
Traditionally, this also is the time when prices fall due to seasonal weaning and increases in numbers sold. However, for the next few years, Ramadan will be earlier in the calendar year, being on July 20 in 2012 and moving 11 days earlier each year.
"Muslim holidays are based on the lunar calendar which is 11 days less than our traditional solar calendar. How the movement of Ramadan toward summer and spring months will affect fall goat prices remains to be seen," said Pennington.
The Festival of Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha) is a Muslin market for blemish free yearlings, preferably uncastrated bucks. Large kids weighing 60 to 100 pounds may be acceptable. The Festival of Harvest was Oct. 18 this year and futures dates are Oct. 26, 2012, and Oct. 5, 2013.
"Goats tend to be seasonal breeders, coming into heat as daylight shortens from late August to early January. Most kids are born in late winter to early spring and weaned in the late summer or fall. This creates a market kid shortage during the late winter and early spring months, and over-supplies the market during late summer and fall," said Pennington.
Easter (the Western or traditional Easter) has the strongest goat meat demand in the U.S. Pennington says market kid and goat meat prices tend to reach their peak just before the Western Easter (March-April), drop significantly during June, continue trending downward through October-November, then begin rising toward the Christmas season (December).
Fresh goat meat shortages force the prices to continue upward until they peak again during the Easter season (March-April).
"How the changing dates of Ramadan and the increased demand for goat meat will affect the best times to market goats remains to be determined. Yet, producers should plan their marketing strategies around the traditional ethnic holidays--which means marketing two to four weeks before those holidays," said Pennington.

Composer Max Richter has done a brave thing for any artist in any medium: He's messed with a classic, specifically, Vivaldi's four violin concertos known as The Four Seasons. He has a new album simply titled Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons.
Richter says that as a child, he loved The Four Seasons. But as he grew older, that passion faded.
"As a child, I fell in love with it," he tells NPR's Audie Cornish. "It's beautiful, charming music with a great melody and wonderful colors. Then, later on, as I became more musically aware — literate, studied music and listened to a lot of music — I found it more difficult to love it. We hear it everywhere — when you're on hold, you hear it in the shopping center, in advertising; it's everywhere. For me, the record and the project are trying to reclaim the piece, to fall in love with it again."
The opening bars have been recorded, re-recorded and Muzak-ed to death. Richter's "recompositions" are both subtle and forward, and, in some cases, start a groove.
"I took the opening motif, which I always thought was a dazzling moment in the Vivaldi, but in the original it's only four bars. I thought, 'Well, why don't I just treat this like a loop, like something you might hear in dance music, and just loop it and intensify it, and cut and paste — jump-cut around in that texture, but keep that groove going."
There's a strain of classical music fan who gets frustrated with these kinds of recompositions or remixes. They argue that it's at worst a dumbing down of the music — and at best doesn't trust the music to stand on its own. Richter says he hasn't heard these sentiments expressed as much as he'd feared, and that it's been received quite well.
"I think it's been received in the spirit that I wrote it, which is, in a way, an act of love towards this fantastic masterpiece," Richter says. "And, you know, my piece doesn't erase the Vivaldi original. It's a conversation from a viewpoint. I think this is just one way to engage with it."
Richter did run into some difficulties in recomposing Vivaldi.
"The first thing that was sort of difficult — and I wasn't expecting this, actually — was trying to understand who I was at each moment of writing it," he says.
"That sounds a bit crazy, but in the piece, there are sections which are just Vivaldi, where I've left it alone. I've done sort of a production on 'Autumn,' but I've left the notes. And there other bits where there's basically only a homeopathic dose of Vivaldi in this completely new music," he says. "So I have to figure out how much Max and how much Vivaldi there was going on at every moment."

November 27, 2014
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) _ A police officer says a child whose brother and sister were found bound and blindfolded in a Walmart parking lot in Kansas told him the family believed her younger siblings and their Illinois home had been possessed by demons.
The children were discovered tied up and with duct tape over their eyes outside the store in Lawrence in June. Their parents, 44-year-old Deborah Gomez and 52-year-old Adolfo Gomez Jr., are charged with two counts of child abuse and five counts of aggravated child endangerment.
Police officer Hayden Fowler testified Tuesday that an older daughter said the family was going to try to cast the demons from her 5-year-old brother and 7-year-old sister.
Fowler told a preliminary hearing the girl did not explain how they would do that.

Inger Stevens was born on October 18th, 1934 in Stockholm, Sweden with the birth name Inger Stensland. She was the oldest of three siblings and grew up a very shy little girl. When she as only six years old her mother abandoned the family for another man. As a young girl she watched her father perform on stage in an amateur production, she began to develop an interest in acting.
Her father soon moved to the United States, remarried and brought over all three children. She lived a very unhappy childhood and as a teenager she ran away from home and found work in a burlesque chorus line, however, her father forced her to return home. When she completed High School she worked odd end jobs and moved to New York City to pursue work as a model.
While living in New York she enrolled in the Actors Studio. She soon found work in summer stock which soon followed with work on television commercials. At the age of twenty two she made her film debut in, "Man on Fire" (1957) opposite Bing Crosby. She followed with a number of successful film roles such as, "Cry Terror!" (1958), "The Buccaneer" (1958) and "The World the Flesh and the Devil" (1959). However she had big issue while filming in that she continued to fall hard for her male co stars such as James Mason and the director Anthony Quinn.
Inger was often depressed on set and in 1959 she tried to attempt suicide. However, she survived the incident and continued to work in the industry appearing on Broadway in, "Roman Candle" and receiving an Emmy nomination for her role in, "Price of Tomatoes". Inger also worked on the series, "Bonanza", "The Twilight Zone" and Route 66". Stevens even earned a Golden Globe Award and Emmy nomination for her role in, "The Farmer's Daughter" (1963) which aired for three seasons.
She was becoming a household name and throughout the 60's she starred in a number of films such as, "A Guide for the Married Man" (1967), "Hang 'Em High" (1968) starring Clint Eastwood, "Firecreek" (1968), "House of Cards" (1968), "5 Card Stud" (1968) starring Dean Martin and Robert Mitchum, "A Dream of Kings" (1969) and a number of television movies. However, Stevens could not keep herself from on going affairs with her co star male counterparts such as Dean Martin, Burt Reynolds and Robert Mitchum.
Regardless of the level of success her professional life reached, her personal life and affects of her childhood continued to have a toll on her overall personal state. On April 30th, 1970 she was found unconscious on the floor in her home in Hollywood, California and even though she was rushed to the hospital her life was unable to be saved. She suffered from an overdose of alcohol and drugs.
Following her untimely death, tabloids revealed that since 1961 she had secretly been married to African American bit actor, Ike Jones, however by the time of her death the couple was already estranged.
After an autopsy was performed on her remains, her body was cremated and her ashes were scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean.

Managing SQL databases with Knoda
KDE's Knoda provides an intuitive front end for an SQL database. This workshop introduces Knoda and shows how you can use Knoda to simplify common database management tasks.
Many Linux users wish for a simple GUI-based tool that would help them manage their database intuitively. KDE's Knoda program is a good candidate for this role. In this first part of our Knoda workshop, we investigate the basic functions of Knoda. You'll learn how you can use an existing database to create fairly complex queries with just a few mouse clicks. SQL without the Headaches Knoda is a KDE database front-end for the MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite2, and SQLite3 databases. Knoda can also use ODBC drivers to access other database servers. We will focus on SQLite for this workshop. If you would like to work through the examples, you will need the SQLite2 database, musik.db, which is stored in the download area of the Linux Magazine website [1]. The database is a typical playlist-type database as used by the KDE player Amarok for internal management purposes.

Fees and Costs
Attorney Fees & Costs
Colorado family law cases, such as divorce and "custody" matters, can cost a client tens of thousands of dollars in attorney fees. Add in the costs for Child Family Investigators, business evaluators, and other experts and these conflicts can consume an entire marital estate. On the other-hand, managing your costs, focusing the conflict, and picking the right law firm can help keep these expenses manageable.
Pay As You Go – "Sustainable Retainers"
Johnson Márquez Legal Group offers lower, sustainable retainer amounts with as "pay-as-you-go" approach to legal fees. This helps our clients keep costs down and avoid huge payments at the beginning of a case.
The total cost of a divorce can be impossible to predict. There is no "average" or "normal" family law case and even trying to give an estimate of the total cost is something most good lawyers will not do. Factors that effect the overall cost of a case include:
- Conflict
- Complex issues
- Which Judge you get
- Premarital property issues
- Inexperienced or incompetent lawyers
We have no idea what the parties may end up fighting over, and conflict, more than anything else, determines the cost. Our pay-as-you-go approach to divorce and other family law cases works for everyone involved since it keeps everyone very focused on keep the costs manageable.
At Johnson Márquez Legal Group, we provide a schedule of standard, "sustainable" retainers so you know, right up front, what you'll have to pay to hire us. Almost all family law attorneys will require you to post a retainer and sign a fee agreement, before they'll represent you or provide you with any legal advice. A retainer is like a deposit on the fees and costs you will incur during the case. All client retainers must be held in a trust account, separate from the law firm's office account, until the fees are earned or the costs incurred.
We set our retainers based, in large part, on the following factors:
- Type of case
- Jurisdiction
- Level of conflict
A retainer may be more than enough to cover your fees and costs. In other cases, however, the retainer is only part of the cost and may be, frankly, only a drop in the bucket. At Johnson Márquez Legal Group, our unique "sustainable retainer" program allows clients to post lower retainers and pay for services as they are rendered. This arrangement spreads out the total cost of your family law case over the duration.
Lower, "sustainable retainers" are a great option for clients who are cost conscious and prefer a "pay-as-you-go" arrangement. With these standardized retainers, we bill you for our work as we proceed through your case. There are other arrangements at different firms so it's important to ask how your firm may handle fees above and beyond the retainer. Remember, a retainer is NOT a flat fee. It is not a promise that the case will cost about that much. A retainer does not even represent an assessment of how much a case may cost.
Law firms should provide regular billing statements describing the work they've performed to earn the fee and clearly indicate how much, if anything, you have left in their trust account. These statements should be prepared on at least a monthly basis.
"Conflict" is King
Conflict is, plain and simple, the biggest factor in determining the final cost of your case, whether it's a divorce, custody case or modification of child support. Keeping the conflict to a low boil and picking your fights will end up saving you a not-so-small fortune in attorney fees.
During a divorce, parties often fight over legitimate issues where the two of them just see things differently. Parenting time for young children, in particular, is one of those issues that can be so difficult to resolve due to differing philosophies. Maintenance payments are likewise troublesome since there's no consistent formula applied to determine the amount.
But equally as often as legitimate disputes, we see parties argue over emotional issues, using something else as a proxy – they say they're fighting over the dog but in fact, there's still so much anger over someone's infidelity that the dog is being used as a weapon to hurt the other side. Unfortunately, a party will sometimes choose to use their kids as the weapon.
When these "proxy" disputes arise, costs can sky rocket. Since the dispute itself is irrational, attempts to find rational resolutions often don't work. Intervention by the court can be particularly helpful with these disputes; however, this assumes that the parties have the money for the effort and that the court is available to listen.
So costly can high conflict divorces become, we once overheard opposing counsel comment after a failed settlement conference, "Now I can buy that condo in Aruba!" Divorce is by it's nature a conflict. There's just no avoiding disagreement – if you could have done that, you'd probably still be married. But it's critical to successfully becoming a Divorce Survivor that each party carefully consider the costs of each and every battle.
The art of compromise may be especially distasteful during a divorce, due to the emotions associated with these cases. Yet there's no doubt that compromise is necessary, if you sincerely want to resolve disputes. Results are better, costs are lower, and you'll avoid the hassles of a prolonged court battle. Take a deep breath and ask yourself, "is this really worth it?"
The examples in this Fees & Costs section of our website illustrate the basic retainers our firm charges for certain cases. Your retainer may be more or less depending on the circumstances of your particular case. The best way to figure out your retainer is to set a Free Consultation with one of our lawyers.

Snow holds a special sway over the imagination. Daredevil sledding sessions, snowball brawls, warm cups of cocoa—snow days are coming soon, so now's the time to get ready!
It's trick-or-treat time again, but we've got something better than candy—a roundup of the season's creepiest new books! Readers, beware: Nothing says "boo" like the spooky titles below.
True stories are often the most inspiring. These four exciting picture book biographies focus on real-life teachers, leaders and innovators and their remarkable roads to success. Their stories are sure to leave permanent, positive impressions on young readers. Don't give up on that dream!
Budding young naturalists will learn from—and love—Winter Is Coming by Tony Johnston. A quietly powerful picture book that explores the changing of the seasons and life in the woods, it's also a story about the rewards that come from taking time to look closely at the world. The narrator is a resourceful young girl who visits her tree house each day, watching in solitude as the forest around her transitions from fall to winter. Armed with binoculars, sketchbook and pencils, she spies on animals as they hunt for food and prepare for the snowy season to come.
Putting a playful spin on school, these picture books depict life in the classroom as a grand adventure, filled with good friends, fun activities and teachers that are wise beyond words.
For many parents, getting the little ones to consent to sleep is a contest of wills requiring the skills of a diplomat. Fortunately, a terrific new picture book has arrived that can help families keep the peace. Sleep Tight, Anna Banana!, by mother-and-son team Dominique Roques and Alexis Dormal, shows that bedtime can be a blast, especially when the company includes a group of irresistible critters intent on making mischief.
Featuring creatures with outsize personalities whose slightly subversive behavior is hugely hilarious, the picture books featured below are about defying expectations and bending the rules. Young readers, show the world who you really are!
It's never too early to start teaching kids about the importance of friendship. Offering lessons to live by, three delightful new picture books demonstrate the rewards of team effort and the power of partnership. As these clever tales prove, pitching in to help a pal—whether it's with a stroke-of-genius idea or a simple word of cheer—can make a world of difference. That's what friends are for!
Kristy Dempsey revisits a watershed moment in performing arts history in her sparkling new book, A Dance Like Starlight. The story's spirited young heroine, an African-American girl who dreams of becoming a ballet dancer, lives with her mother in Harlem. The year is 1951.
Award-winning author Doreen Rappaport delivers another perfectly polished historical gem with To Dare Mighty Things: The Life of Theodore Roosevelt. In this impressive picture-book biography, she skillfully blends the personal and political stories of the nation's 26th president, adding Roosevelt's own words to the mix through quotes that enrich the narrative while delivering a sense of the plainspoken eloquence for which he was famous. (Proof that Teddy was ahead of his time in the sound-bite department: "Speak softly and carry a big stick, and you will go far.")

Hahahaha, seriously, Gaffney's release surprised me. I was looking for him to come in and help, especially since TFB is comfortable with him. They need to bring in someone else, I don't like the receiving core as it stands now. As much as I hate to say it, let bring in Plax for his freakish talent. Who knows, mayne Moss will get released by the 49'ers, haven't seen him get much action over there. Posted by TFB12[/QUOTE] TB I think JG may be back. He knows the system and I think likes playing here. Branch may be injured at some point. Let's watch and see if JG get picked up. No moss my friend.

Goddamn Electric Lyrics - Pantera
Review The Song (1)
There is a part of me that's always sixteen
I've found the secret of eternal youth
Some get high on life or money, but there's an
Escape, drop out of the race.
- To walk through the world by ones self, you can't be
Protected... your trust is in whiskey and weed and
Black Sabbath - It's Goddamn Electric
Don't waste your time, embrace it
And then you'll know yourself
The change in you is Goddamn Electric
The weight of the world has lifted and parted
My eyes roll blind to sights that distracted
Through tunnel-vision and dope-hair blinders
I'll cut a path and evoke my will
- To walk through the world by ones self, you can't
Be protected... your trust is in whiskey and weed
And Slayer, it's Goddamn Electric
Don't fake your life - inhale it
And then you'll know yourself
The change in you is Goddamn Electric
Don't waste your time, embrace it
Annd then you'll know yourself
The change that is Goddamn Electric will focus
The Mind's Eye...
One hand on the bottle, the other a shaking
Fist, rejuvinated, isolated, no pressure
From the outside, my sight's Goddamn Electric
And these eyes have seen a world
Goddamn Electric system...
(1st Chorus)
Goddamn Electric...

Get the latest on issues affecting the IT Industry in Canada.
In spite of reduction in supply voltage and improved leakage control, power consumption has become a key performance specification/target in many electronic products – not just portable electronics. Reducing power consumption requires a broad multi-dimensional approach: system power management; energy efficient regulation; architectural optimization; on-die power management; BIG-Little processors; low-power implementation techniques (clock and power gating, multi-Vt, multi-channel libraries, leakage and dynamic power optimization), sleep modes, etc.
Are there any new concepts that offer the promise of even more significant power reduction? Is low Power design best handled by experienced designers or can CAD/CAD optimization tools create improved power-friendly designs? Are wafer foundries doing enough to enable low-power design through leakage control process control, etc.? And is the headroom running out on analog with elevated power densities in new processes and electrical effects squeezing traditional analog design?
The SMC of ITAC has convened a faculty of experts to explore power reduction and design in digital systems.

Today, Americans are observing the national holiday honoring the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Dr. King's efforts were directed toward establishing opportunity for all, regardless of skin color, economic status or any threads of American individuality.
Back in 2007, on a cold, January day, I stood in Memphis at the Lorraine Motel where the human existence of Dr. King was ended at age 39 by a man full of hate and evil.
Walking through the National Civil Rights Museum adjacent to the two-story motel where the pastor was murdered, I saw photos and exhibits capturing the divisiveness, the deception and the hatred that was characteristic of segregation.
A plaque affixed to the rail outside Room 306 where Dr. King was assassinated read, "And they said one to another, behold, this dreamer cometh. Come now therefore, and let us slay him ... and we shall see what will become of his dreams" from Genesis 37:20, referencing the jealous brothers of Joseph who made an attempt to end his life in order to mock his dreams.
This April 4 will mark the 46th anniversary of Dr. King's death. If he were alive today, Dr. King would be 85 years young.
But the life of Dr. King lives on.
Sadly, our focus today is consumed with partisan politics that are more geared toward the power that a majority brings than in solving problems and honoring American citizens. Our thoughts are steered toward obtaining material possessions that supposedly demonstrate our status and economic prowess. Our activities are daily directed in a path that puts us with individuals who mirror our politics, our faith, our economic standing, just to name a few.
But the impactful life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and its influence echo throughout the halls of legislative corridors, throughout schools and corporations.
The opportunity in this nation is truly equal, with exceptions that are either self-imposed or due to some crippling aspect of physical or mental health.
We're all given 24 hours of a day. We're all given a free will with choices. These choices include:
Will I rise today and work harder than yesterday?
Will I be truthful and honest in all I say and do?
Will I treat others, including strangers, in the way I desire to be treated?
Will I make the use of my 24-hour day to learn something new?
Will I speak truth, even as a lone voice?
Will I turn from that which is indecent, dishonest and selfish?
I've always had a belief in the Judeo-Christian God who wants the very best for me but leaves the choices up to me, in most cases. By my actions, by my choices, by that which I read, listen to, and watch, the friends who influence my life and the manner in which I use my time, I use the resources available to me to determine my path.
Dr. King's dream of a path that is open to all and that his "four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character" exists today.
Now, the tough question has to be asked: Based on the answers to the questions above and your daily actions, what's the content of your character?
Robin Smith served as chairwoman of the Tennessee Republican Party, 2007 to 2009. She is a partner at the SmithWaterhouse Strategies business development and strategic planning firm and serves on Tennessee's Economic Council on Women.
The reason the answer to the question of opportunity will always revolve around the color of skin is simple. Your character is yours to create and have as your personal responsibility. Being judge by the content of your character shifts the view to the individual. The left will never embrace that.Ever.
Dr. King was born on Jan. 15th actually. Now we celebrate the third Monday of every January. I really don't understand what's wrong with celebrating it on the day he was actually born, but the government doesn't have a good sound reason for everything it does. So this year the third Monday fell on MY birthday. Jan. 20th 1952. Now I'm 62 and I still haven't seen what Dr. King started get very much further than it had gotten on April the 4th, 1968 when an insane redneck ended his life. The rest of my birthday was very good, but not that part.
It's interesting to see how Mrs. Bennett and in fact most conservatives today tend to speak so glowingly of Dr. King, when in fact he was an extremely liberal activist who, if he were alive today and doing and saying the same things he was doing and saying back in the 60s, would no doubt be branded an outright communist or even a terrorist by these same conservatives who are so easy with the praise for him now. They have reduced him to a cartoonish caricature of himself, focusing only on his "content of one's character" quote, as if he were just a nice but charismatic man who believed in racial equality and nothing more. And who today could rightfully speak against racial equality?
But conservatives and libertarians, in their espousal of what they like to think of as "individual freedom," have construed his words to relate to their own twisted notion of individual freedom without regard to the necessity of some drastic changes to our political and economic structures that are enslaving the poor and the disadvantaged and grossly favoring the rich and the greedy corporatists. We cannot have true individual freedom until we wrest power from the corporatists and the super-rich and the politicians who have been bought by them and are doing their bidding. Dr. King knew how corrupt the system was back then, and it has only become more corrupt today, exponentially so.
Mrs. Smith, Dr. King was just as much an advocate for economic equality as he was for racial equality. How come you conservatives never speak about that? He did not look upon the poor as "moochers and takers," as you like to call them today, but he saw a dignity in them that was worth fighting for. He was very much PRO-labor unions and he called for a substantial increase in the minimum wage as a means to pull people out of poverty and enable them to share in the American Dream. He knew that true individual freedom started by providing those at the bottom with a base to build upon. Nobody can begin the climb up a ladder unless they have the first rung to stand on, nor can they pull themselves up by their boot straps unless they have a pair of boots in the first place.
Did you ever notice that it has always been liberals, with their radical thinking, who have changed the world? I would like to point out that NO conservative with his/her wish to cling to the status quo, has ever brought about meaningful change of any kind. By their very nature, conservatives are fearful of change. They always resist it and try to portray liberals as evil or immature or as malcontents. But decades or centuries after those liberal-minded thinkers have had the rightness of their thinking validated and established in everyday society, those conservatives are gushing with praise for their heroism and in fact like to embrace them as their own. Funny how it works that way.
Another thing, Mrs. Bennett: Dr. King was unabashedly opposed to the Vietnam war. He even referred to it as an atrocity of genocide committed by our American empire. The typical conservative stance today is to label all who fought in the Vietnam war as heroes and brand all who opposed it and protested against it as traitors and cowards. Does Dr. King still rate hero status in your mind? It's time that you conservatives start looking at him as the real man that he was, not the homogenized one-dimensional figure that you make him out to be, just so that he might fit in with your rigid conservative view of the world.
"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom." - MLK
The hypocrisy of these people now loving on and singing the high praises is the ultimate of hypcrisy. They'd eat Dr. King alive today, the same as they did in his lifetime.
Rickaroo you're so on point. Dr. King called war (Vietnam at the time) one of the triple evils. The other two being racism, and economic exploitation. He said the three were interrelated.
Dr. King would be gunned down approximately a week before he was able to carry out his poor man's march on Washington. However in a speech at a church prior Dr. King had this to say on Capitalism:
"Capitalism forgets that life is social. And the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism, but in a higher antithesis that combines the truth of both. Now, when I say questioning the whole society, it means utlimately coming to see that the problem of racism, the problem of economic exploitation, and the problem of war are all tied together. These are the triple evils that are interrelated."
Dr. King was a radical advocate of economic justice. In fact, throughout much of his lifetime, Dr. King was referred to as radical, troublemaker and rabble rouser by people with same attitutdes as the writer of this piece. So if they're claiming to embrace Dr. King today they have something up their sleeve. They've found a way to use him to their advantage.
