Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/4/2013 (1603 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Thomas Wolfe wrote You Can't Go Home Again, but the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra is doing just that.
In honour of its 40th season, the orchestra is re-creating its first-ever concert, tonight at 7:30 p.m., at Westminster United Church.
It was Oct. 19, 1972, in the auditorium of the Winnipeg Art Gallery, when this staple of Winnipeg's musical community presented its first performance. At the helm was conductor and founder Ruben Gurevich, then a violinist with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and CBC Winnipeg Orchestra. According to MCO managing director Vicki Young, Gurevich started the MCO "as an opportunity to play chamber music repertoire in an intimate setting." The ensemble was then composed of 19 string players.
For this evening's concert, the MCO will be led by former conductor Roy Goodman, who headed the orchestra from 1999 to 2005. The program is almost identical to the inaugural one -- an intriguing concept by MCO planners.
"We started looking back at the works we had commissioned over the years, at guest artists and repertoire and somehow landed up back on the very first concert," said Young. "It looked like a lovely concert and one that we thought Roy might really enjoy conducting."
Selections will include Grieg's lyrical suite, From Holberg's Time, Rossini's Sonata for Strings No. 3 and Canadian composer John Estacios' Such Sweet Sorrow -- the only deviation from the original program.
"It was Roy who suggested substituting Such Sweet Sorrow for a piece by Weinzweig because he commissioned and conducted the première of Estacio's piece and we have played it several times over the years," Young explains.
Renowned Winnipeg soprano Tracy Dahl says she is thrilled to be part of this MCO season. She is performing Benjamin Britten's song cycle, Les Illuminations, based on the writings of 19th-century author Arthur Rimbaud (tenor Arthur Janzen was soloist in the 1972 concert). This is Dahl's first time singing the work and she calls it "a great adventure in learning." She hasn't sung any Britten pieces in many years.
"Britten wants the voice to be an instrument," Dahl says of the nine-movement work. "In one of the pieces (Marine), you feel like you are soaring above the ocean. There is the effect of the choppiness of the water -- and every now and then it flows. You feel like you are on a wave... there is lots of imagery."
Les Illuminations presents challenges for the veteran singer. "I am really enjoying it, but some of it is devilishly hard," she admits. "It's not particularly high; some of it is very low. It's all for effect... some of the orchestral writing is just exquisite."
Dahl also said there is "tons of solo violin," for concertmaster Karl Stobbe to delve into.
MCO principal oboist Caitlin Broms-Jacobs is the other soloist. She'll play Vivaldi's Oboe Concerto in A minor, RV 463, but it may not be the one performed by Douglas Bairstow in the first season. "Vivaldi wrote three oboe concerti in A minor," Broms-Jacobs says. "The first program didn't specify which one."
Nonetheless, she is enthusiastic about the work, which she'd never heard before. "It's not commonly played," she says. "The first and last movements are exciting. They go by quickly and are a blur of virtuosic-sounding playing. They're not in the normal form of standard baroque music, but are always changing.
'Like mist over a Venetian canal'
"Vivaldi should be played with fire and intensity. The second movement, by contrast, is completely tranquil, like mist over a Venetian canal."
If this sounds poetic, it is very much a reflection of the sensitive musicality of Broms-Jacobs' playing. At 29, she is well aware that the MCO's first concert occurred before she was born. "It was a significant concert," she says. "I would have loved to have heard it." She considers it a great honour to be part of this celebratory performance.
"To be asked to play a concerto at any time is a thrill," she says. "Playing with the MCO is so inspirational. After just the first few bars I always say to myself, 'This is why I play the oboe.'"
Adding to the festivities, the MCO will announce its 2013-2014 season tonight. The lineup looks as stellar as always, with return visits from young Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki, who has been burning up the international concert trail since his last visit to the MCO stage, virtuoso French horn player Jamie Somerville, incredible soprano Suzie Leblanc (also here May 14 with countertenor Daniel Taylor), and pianist extraordinaire Marc-André Hamelin playing Mozart.
Tickets for tonight's 40th anniversary concert are $26.50/adults, $24.50/seniors and $7.50/students, available at McNally Robinson Booksellers or at the door.

Robert A. M. Stern's Design Philosophy"Architecture is a conversation across time" – Robert A.M. SternSince its beginnings, the focus and function of the school have expanded exponentially. Technology has advanced, interdisciplinary partnerships have increased, and the enrollment of strong students and the hiring of innovative, first-rate faculty strained the capacity of Herring Hall, the school's home since 1984. To accommodate the significant transition and expansion that the Jones Graduate School would take on in the new century, a new building became necessary.But with the need for a new building was also the knowledge that not only must this building be beautiful and in keeping with Rice's architecture, it also must be innovative, with an eye toward the future, while reflecting the University's and the school's past.To this end, the award-winning architect and dean of the Yale School of Architecture, Robert A. M. Stern, was chosen to design the new building. Stern's work is best known for its emphasis on continuity of tradition and for creating buildings that are appropriate to the project at hand, buildings that take into account the spirit of the places in which they are located."Architecture is a conversation across time. The subjects of that conversation may vary, but none is more important than the topic of place. For that reason, it is a particular pleasure for us to work at Rice University, where Ralph Adams Cram's place-making campus plan and his Lovett Hall have been honored for generations. The building for the Jones Graduate School carries forward the Rice tradition, interpreting and reinterpreting it to meet new and future needs. Comprising three distinct components that define an intimately scaled courtyard, the Jones Graduate School building cloaks myriad functions—including a library, dining hall, and auditorium, as well as classrooms and faculty offices—in Rice's characteristic St. Joe brick, laid up with wide, flat struck joints. Limestone and matching cast stone trim help articulate the building, which rises to a red barrel-tile roof. A passageway recalling Cram's open-air arcades forms a sallyport to allow pedestrian movement through the building at its midpoint, further locking its mass into the overall campus pattern."

Did you know?
There are more than 3 000 different plant species found in the Overberg region.
With such a diverse range of natural scenery, the Overberg is an outdoor enthusiast's dream destination. In addition to the expanse of ocean and the towering mountains, the colourful flowers and dense fynbos set the perfect scene for an unforgettable horseback trail ride.
The Overberg region is widely regarded as the world's best for land-based whale watching, and seeing these ocean giants breaching while trotting along on the back of a horse is an appealing offering.
The African Horse Company owns 300ha of land in the Southern Overberg, on which their horses (Arabian, Friesian and saddler) roam freely when they are not being ridden. They have also been allowed access to a number of neighbouring farms and are able to offer guests an authentic outride experience as a result.
These rides can be anything from a one-hour trail ride, to a nine-day expedition. Meals and accommodation are included in the packages. These trips can involve up to seven hours of riding per day, giving explorers the chance to live like the pioneers who came to this region centuries before them. On the longer trail rides, there are a lot of opportunities for cantering and trotting.
'Why the rush?' is a question frequently asked by staff at the African Horse Company. Away from the hustle and bustle of the urban working world, life is much simpler in many ways and an Overberg horseback expedition will remind you of this. The guides on these rides have expert knowledge of the area and are trained in basic first aid. Book your ride today and connect with nature on horseback.

Since the release of ES3, the CRX Server comes integrated with the LiveCycle Document Services.(NOTE: SA Installer should be run on an existing LiveCycle Document Services Installation in order to get the benefits of CRX Server and Correspondence Management Solution)
The CRX wars namely, crx-explorer_crx.war and crx-launchpad.war are bundled inside the core EAR, i.e. adobe-livecycle-jboss.ear.
There are times when a restart of the CRX Server is required due to some changes in configuration/settings or issues related to bundle activation.
Since the wars are bundled inside the core ear, the whole of JBoss server instance needs to be restarted to get things done.
This ultimately consumes time and things on the doc-services side also get blocked due to some task pending at CRX end.
Let's handle the two issues separately,
i. Issues related to Bundle Activation
There is an easy way out where one can just shutdown the CRX server and Restart it again without interfering with the LiveCycle Server Instance.
Go to, http://localhost:8080/lc/system/console/vmstat (Snapshot at the end of the post)
It has two buttons,
a. Restart – Clicking on this will restart all the bundles and the framework.
b. Stop – Clicking on this will stop all the bundles and the framework.
In order to start the framework and the bundles, Just refresh the browser or hit the above mentioned URL again.
The LiveCycle services running under the Jboss server instance won't be affected at all.
The above settings solves the issue of Bundle Activation because it restarts CRX LaunchPad. But it doesn't start the whole of CRX due to which changes in repository.xml or bootstrap.properties don't get reflected.
ii. Changes in Configuration/Settings like repository.xml, bootstrap.properties, etc.
For such changes to get reflected, the best way is to re-deploy the CRX war.
JBoss provides a seamless way of doing that through JMX Console.
a. Go to http://localhost:8080/jmx-console. (For more information on JMX-Console handling I'll write a separate blog post)
b . Once inside JMX-Console, search for jboss.web.deployment section.
c. Click on the link named war=/crx.
d. Now you can stop and start the war by clicking on the respective "Invoke" buttons to get the settings and configuration reflected. This won't affect the other LiveCycle Document Services running in parallel.

My doctor said that as long as I am breastfeeding my son, I will not have a menstruation. But after six months, I did have. I never changed in my son's schedule in breastfeeding. Therefore, why did I suddenly have menstruation?
My doctor said that as long as I am breastfeeding my son, I will not have a menstruation. But after six months, I did have. I never changed in my son's schedule in breastfeeding. Therefore, why did I suddenly have menstruation?
A lot of women resume menstruation around the time they introduce solids, for many this is around six months. Have you recently introduced solids? Some women even begin their period when they are still breastfeeding exclusively. I've heard of some ladies getting a period as early as 9 weeks postpartum. It is perfectly within the range of normal. Do realize, however, that this means your fertility has likely returned. So, if you do not want to get pregnant again anytime soon, now is the time to begin monitoring ovulation or consider using some form of birth control.
Hi Jaedris,
Your doctor was mistaken when he told you that you would not get your period as long as you were breastfeeding. Every woman is different. I have a friend who didn't get her period for 2 1/2 years, and she breastfed that long. However, she started solids when he was just a few months old.
On the other hand, there are plenty of women (I'm one of them) who get their periods while breastfeeding, and as mom2many mentioned, while they are exclusively breastfeeding (baby is not on solids, and does not take a pacifier).
I got my period before all of my babies were 6 months of age, and with my last one, I think she was only 8 weeks old when I got my first period after birth.
You'll definitely want to watch your body's signs of fertility now so that you know when you're fertile and when you're not. This can be beneficial for both avoiding pregnancy and achieving pregnancy, depending upon which you want to do. Here's a thread on natural family planning that may be interesting to you as well.
Warm regards,
Thanks for your response mom2many and Ma'am Kate. And yes, I recently introduced solid foods to my son. I feel relieved knowing that it's still in normal range.^^
However, what bothers me now is the reason why my doctor told me that? It was deceiving and misintrepreted, I believe so.
Last edited by jaedris; 7th August 2012 at 08:37 AM.
Unfortunately many medical providers are misinformed about breastfeeding. =(
I am sorry that his advice left you worried. Glad we could help though!
The idea of not having periods while breastfeeding is closely allied to the out-dated belief that while breastfeeding exclusively a woman will not conceive another baby.
While it is true that breastfeeding suppresses ovulation, like all other 'natural' methods of birth control it is far from foolproof. My mother for instance was breastfeeding my sister exclusively when she fell pregnant just 8 weeks after giving birth!
It sounds like the Doctor you spoke to jaedris needs to update his knowledge. Time to seek out a more knowledgeable professional I think.

Okay, this is slightly old news now since we've been using the projector at our downtown space for over a week now, but Bill mounted the projector that we got for $150 at DEFCON.
Bill constructed the mount out of threaded steel pipe from Lowe's, and he painted it black to match our ceiling. STEALTH MODE ACTIVATED.
Thanks, Bill! It looks awesome. And thank you for helping too, Manuel.
The projector itself is a little bit low-resolution (800×600 native), but it's plenty bright and had only 16 hours on the bulb! Also, new bulbs are available for around $70-80 online because it's a very common model. (The thing that usually makes used projectors less of a bargain is expensive replacement bulbs.)

Is there a proven, good, and least stressful way to get a baby on a feeding schedule? Would introducing a bit of cereal help?
Is there a proven, good, and least stressful way to get a baby on a feeding schedule? Would introducing a bit of cereal help?
Hello MumsHelper50,
Please let us know how old baby is and when you say a "feeding schedule" are you wanting a sleep schedule too, or just a feeding schedule?
Most breastfed infants will eat about every 2 hours, as breastmilk digests faster than formula. Most formula fed babies will eat about every 3 hours, but it's always best to take baby's cues. Sometimes bub will want to eat all day long (it seems) and that can be when they're going through a growth spurt.
Is bub being breastfed and formula fed, or only formula fed? Also, you mentioned in another post that bub may not be tolerating cow milk formula, so I'd like to know how much bub throws up at each feeding and if throwing up is the only indication that she may not be tolerating her formula well.
Warm regards,
Elizabeth is just turning 8 months, and has never slept through the night. She seems to get hungry pretty quickly, every 2 hours. I know my own mum gave us a bit of cereal in our formula so we wouldn't get hungry so quickly. Elizabeth was fed breast milk for the first 3-4 weeks, she was unable to latch on, if you will, and her mum expressed the breastmilk into small bottles until she developed mastitis and was forced to stop expressing.
Elizabeth seemed to have trouble even keeping down the breast milk. We use a regular, cow milk formula and her paediatrician has suggested soy-based milk, but I'm so leery of switching. She throws up every feeding, not just a little spit up, but what seems like the entire amount at times. It's no wonder poor bub stays so hungry! Both she and her mum must change tops with each feeding. What are your feelings about soy?
Hi mumshelper50,
I'm sorry to here Elizabeth's mum had trouble breastfeeding. If she ever experiences problems with future babies I would recommend she seeks help from a lactation consultant. These professionals do an excellent job at helping mums with all things breastfeeding related: including getting the latch right (which many first time mums struggle with). Mastitis often develops when there is a sudden drop in the breastfeeding and not enough milk is being taken from the breasts.
What you describe (with Elizabeth having trouble keeping her milk and food down) could be reflux - this is when a baby's stomach contents frequently come back up. It is more common in formula fed babies but can also occur in breastfed babies. However, the symptoms of reflux are similar to a cow's milk allergy. Has your paediatrician considered reflux too?
Is Elizabeth eating solid food? We followed baby led weaning with my son and I have seen many benefits of this method of weaning. The baby joins in eating food at mealtimes, although before they are 12 months old they should not be hungry at meal times (they can have their milk around 1 hour before).
Also, at 8 months old it is not that unusual to not sleep through the night (my son still doesn't at 17 months!). As a mum, I believed for a long time that all other babies were sleeping through the night from a very young age but I now understand that the way babies sleep is different to adults. I found the book The No Cry Sleep Solution excellent in informing me of gentle ways to help a baby to sleep and what my expectations about this should be.
One final point, babies who are genuinely allergic to cows milk are often allergic to soya milk to. Perhaps your paediatrician does not feel Elizabeth is allergic to cows milk but just wants to try soya milk?
I hope this has been helpful.
Best wishes,

Soy has a high aluminum content and 95% of soy is now grown from GMO seed (genetically modified organisms) which means that the plants can be sprayed with Round-Up (a highly toxic pesticide) and the weeds around it will die, but it will continue to grow. It's not a good thing to have any of our food exposed to pesticides.
Here's a good video by Dr. Mercola explaining how soy has been linked to brain damage and cancer.
I would suggest that any mum considering giving her child soy formula do her due diligence and take some time to really investigate the health risks. It's sad that a food that's been touted as being "healthy" actually comes with some fairly high risks for disease.
I hope you're able to find something that works well for Elizabeth. At 8 months she should be able to start tolerating cereal well. I found that most of my children were not ready for solids until they were 8 months, and one wasn't ready for much until she was over a year. If you do give her some cereal, you may want to consider mixing in some pureed prunes as well, because cereal can bind the stools constipating babies at times. She will probably really like the cereal with prunes anyway, as the prunes give it a nice sweet taste.
And if you truly want to put Elizabeth on a fairly rigid sleep/wake/play schedule, there is a book called "On Becoming Baby Wise" by Gary Ezzo. I was never one for putting my children on a strict sleep schedule, but others have used it with some success. I would tend to go with LJ's suggestion of reading your baby's sleep signals.
Warm regards,
Just checking in to see how Elizabeth is doing.
Warm regards,

HOUSTON - Despite efforts for public awareness, whooping cough is on the rise. It's reached epidemic levels in Washington state and in Texas. More than 360 cases have already been reported so far this year.
That's why NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is turning to social media to raise awareness and funds to help stop the spread of pertussis.
About 8,160 provisional pertussis cases have been reported to the Centers for Disease Control as of May 5, 2012. That's an 87 percent increase compared to the same timeframe last year.
Sound of Pertussis is launching a new initiative asking every adult to protect their babies by getting a booster shot and encouraging others to do the same.
Gordon and his wife have worked tirelessly to raise awareness about pertussis. Still, the numbers continue to rise at alarming rates.
Gordon said, "As a parent myself, and my wife, we realized with our first child, our daughter, we were putting her at risk because we weren't vaccinated. So we made sure we didn't take that risk with our son, who was born a couple years ago."
A May 2012 online survey of 4,247 adults found nearly three-quarters of parents ask their caregivers to use car seats and wash their hands, but less than a fifth ask them to get the pertussis booster shot.
Also known as whooping cough, pertussis is highly contagious. It is spread through the air by infectious respiratory droplets.
In adults, early signs mimic a cold or bronchitis.
In babies, whooping cough, if left untreated, can quickly lead to complications, even death.
March of Dimes medical advisor and OB/Gyn Dr. Siobhan Dolan said, "The really important part is that we cocoon the newborn, and we do that by making sure that all the adults in contact with that child have had their Tdap booster."
Gordon and Dolan are getting the word out about a new Facebook campaign called Take Pertussis Out of the Picture.
Gordon explained, "Make a pledge that if you're going to be in close contact with an infant, that you get your adult Tdap booster, like we did, and also post your own photo and Take Pertussis Out of the Picture."
For each family photo posted, Sanofi Pasteur will donate a dollar to the March of Dimes. The company will donate up to $10,0000.
It's a commitment to save lives.
Dolan said, "Once in your adult life after age 11, every adult should get their Tdap booster and new moms, new dads should ask grandma and grandpa to go get their booster. Ask their care providers if they've had their booster shot. Remind the new aunts and uncles. You're doing them a favor by letting them know what they can do to help protect their new family member."
Eighty percent of babies catch pertussis from a family member.
It can be treated with antibiotics, but it is critical to seek help as soon as you notice symptoms.

Ya gotta be kiddin me, yeah??
No. Way beyond great!!!
On the local PBS channel, I get to spend a half hour with Steven, grillin up something really good. This weekend happened to be grilled pizza. Being a nice weekend and having been unable to grill for the past few weeks (vacation to AZ and injections in my SI joint) pizza sounded intriguing to say the least. The an nan (i think it was called) a grilled bread that he started the episode with is similar to a bread my wife and I love at a local restaraunt, Monoglian BBQ. Then we went into the pizza and it really looked yummy! So, while finishin the NASCAR Indy race, I pulled my BBQ USA off the end table and low and behold was teh grilled pizza recipe.
Wow. We pay good money for some grilled pizza here in Austin, but having far more fun, costing far less cash and much more convenience, I made better pie. It was just amazing!!! The molasses makes the diff with the bread and deepens the taste.
I've made a few things out of the book (got it for a b-day gift the beginning of July) but this one recipe (and todays leftover pizza reheated to near perfection) caused me to write and let you know I appreciate sharing these recipes. Makes meal time and cooking time more enjoyable as a cook and sideline participant.
To speak to the book, incredible. A great mix of lore, story, food and technique. A great mix like this is hard ot come by and has really helped me hit new levels of creativity on the grill that only this spring seemed a bit out of my league. Im regularaly routieirrizing (I know I spelled that wrong) whole chickens now.
Thank you for sharing your passion and profession with those of us how have been able to ratchet our skills a notch or 5.

B(u)y the Bottle: BBQ Sauce Editionby Toby Amidor in Healthy Tips, May 19, 2009
Of course, the healthiest choice is to make your own, but sometimes it's easier to stock up on a few bottled BBQ sauces. The endless options could make your head spin. Here's how to tell what goes in the cart and what stays on the shelf.
The Salt & Sugar
Packaged and restaurant food accounts for more than 75% of the sodium we eat daily. The American Medical Association estimates we'd save 150,000 lives each year if we cut 50% of the salt from our diets. Get started by checking the sodium levels in your sauces. Try to skip anything with more than 500 milligrams per serving.
Sugar is the second issue. When I started researching pre-made BBQ sauces, I found high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as the main ingredient on many. Here's a tip on label reading: items listed first are heaviest by weight. If HFCS is the first or second ingredient in your sauce, that means there's a heck of a lot of it.
Even if you don't find HFCS, most sauces are sweetened with something. Molasses or honey (or both) are two other common sweeteners; you may also find brown rice syrup. A little sweetness is okay, but you don't want a sauce that could double as dessert. I usually look for 15 grams of sugar or less.
Compare Labels
A label's typical serving is 2 tablespoons. On different brands, I found calories ranged from 25 to 100 per serving. Sugar ranged from 4 to 12 grams per serving and sodium ranged from 190 to 510 milligrams (8% to 21% of your recommended daily intake).
You can find low-calorie versions that have minimal sodium. EatingWell, one of our favorite magazines, taste-tested several popular brands and picked Dinosaur Bar-B-Que Sensuous Slathering Sauce as tops. It only has 25 calories, no fat, 5 grams of sugar (from brown sugar) and 240 milligrams of sodium per serving (10% of your daily needs) — definitely a good choice.
Other Healthy Options
Here are some brands we like:
TJ's Bold and Smoky Kansas City Style Barbecue Sauce
Consorzio Organic BBQ Sauce
Annie's Naturals Organic Smokey Maple BBQ Sauce
Bone Suckin' Barbecue Sauce & Marinade Original
Or Make Your Own
Recipes to try:
Peach-Mustard BBQ Sauce
Grilled Shrimp with Grapefruit BBQ Sauce

BOLTON'S peregrine falcons have successfully bred on Bolton Town Hall again this year.
The two birds first nested in Victoria Square in 2008, and have bred every year since, apart from in 2011 when the council carried out renovation work and last year when they produced just one egg that did not hatch.
Now the birds — a protected species — have returned again and hatched three chicks, now about three weeks old.
Their nest, provided by volunteers from the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) is on the north side of the building and hidden from view from the ground.
A council spokesman confirmed the arrival of the new peregrines.
Bird recorder Judith Smith said: "There are three new chicks and they are probably about three weeks old.
"I think the parents are the same as last year.
"They are not ringed so we can't be certain, but unless there has been an accident in the last year, we think they are the same birds.
"Occasionally they pop their heads over the ledge and I think the chicks will be big enough now to pop their heads over as well.
"The parent birds were quite angrywhen we went up and looked at them."
The town hall is undergoing exterior renovation work and the job is being kept on the south side of the building until the chicks leave the nest.
The chicks must first be taught how to hunt and fend for themselves and Mrs Smith said only one in three-to-four peregrines survives because many do not acquire these skills.
Mrs Smith expects the chicks to go to Bolton Parish Church, where there have been sightings on the bell tower already this year.
"The church is not a suitable nesting site for the peregrines, though."
Mrs Smith added: "They didn't have any chicks last year, only an unhatched egg, owing to the unusually cold spring that we had.
"These birds are precious as we have problems with nesting sites at quarries around Bolton being targeted by egg collectors.
"The chicks have not yet been sexed.
"They will be checked by the BTO.
"The birds cannot be handled without a special licence."
A council spokesman said: "We've had regular meetings with our building contractor ISG and Judith about the peregrine falcons, and the workers on site are very mindful of their presence.
"Our town hall refurbishment programme is still on track and we are currently working on the southern and eastern side of the building, repairing the roof, which does not disturb the chicks.
"The work has been planned in such a way so as not to disturb them."

On May 31, 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) - an arm of the World Health Organization, issued a press release classifying radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, such as those produced by mobile phones, as possibly carcinogenic to humans. This is based on limited evidence suggesting an increased risk for a malignant type of brain cancer known as glioma.
Read the complete IARC press release.
The IARC reached this decision after a group of scientists from around the world met to review the scientific literature available regarding exposure to radiofrequency fields (RFs). It should be noted the group's conclusion was not the result of newly conducted research. Additionally, the group found that there was inadequate evidence to draw conclusions for other types of cancers.
According to the group's chairman, this new classification means "there could be some risk, and therefore we need to keep a close watch for a link between cell phones and cancer risk". To provide some perspective, other common agents categorized as "possibly carcinogenic" are gasoline, lead, engine exhaust and coffee.
The IARC called for additional research into the effects of heavy, long-term mobile phone use and suggested that users take steps to reduce their levels of exposure.
Some relatively simple measures can help limit your RF exposure. First, understand that your cell phone only releases RF energy when it is in use and the closer the phone is to you, the more energy you will absorb. Therefore, you can reduce your risk by:

Newsweek's non-explanation explanation
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
Everybody knows about the non-apology apology -- when a public figure says, for example, "I'm sorry if anyone was offended" rather than "I shouldn't have made that racist comment, and I apologize for doing so."
It turns out the non-apology apology has a sibling: the non-explanation explanation.
This week's issue of Newsweek features a cover photo of Sarah Palin wearing short running shorts -- a photo that was originally taken for a recent issue of Runner's World, and which has no obvious connection to Newsweek's coverage of Palin. Earlier today, Media Matters' Julie Millican has explained the problems with that cover:
Making matters worse is the equally offensive headline Newsweek editors chose to run alongside the photo -- "How Do You Solve a Problem like Sarah?" -- presumably a reference to the Sound of Music song, "Maria," in which nuns fret about "how" to "solve a problem like Maria," a "girl" who "climbs trees" and whose "dress has a tear."
Now, this photograph may have been completely appropriate for the cover of the magazine for which the picture was apparently intended, Runners World. But Newsweek is supposed to be a serious newsmagazine, and the magazine is certainly not reporting on Palin's exercise habits.
As Julie noted, Newsweek's lousy judgement extended beyond the cover: The magazine also ran a gratuitous photo focusing on Palin's legs, and another photo of a "disgusting Sarah Palin-as-a-slutty-schoolgirl doll."
So what does Newsweek have to say for themselves? The magazine's editor responded to a question from Politico's Michael Calderone, but he couldn't even muster an "I'm sorry if anyone was offended" non-apology apology:
Editor Jon Meacham responds in an email to POLITICO: "We chose the most interesting image available to us to illustrate the theme of the cover, which is what we always try to do. We apply the same test to photographs of any public figure, male or female: does the image convey what we are saying? That is a gender-neutral standard."
That's a textbook example of the non-explanation explanation. Read it again, and tell me: What does it mean? Meacham wants you to think he's explaining the cover choice, but he really isn't.
How, exactly, does putting Sarah Palin on the cover in short shorts "illustrate the theme of the cover"? (Let's assume Meacham meant the theme of the cover article; saying you choose a cover photo to illustrate the theme of the cover is more than a bit circular.) Meacham doesn't say. What is that theme? Meacham doesn't say.
How does the leg-centric image of Palin's legs "convey what we are saying"? Meacham doesn't explain. What is Newsweek "saying" with the article and the photo? Meacham doesn't explain.
It's a refusal to explain, dressed up as an explanation.
Another recent example: When Washington Post reporters Chris Cillizza and Dana Milbank produced an infantile and unfunny video calling Hillary Clinton a "bitch" and describing a wife suing for divorce from a cheating spouse as a "bitter woman from hell," they tried to explain the controversy away by saying the video was "satire."
But they didn't say what it was they were supposed to be satirizing. That's probably because what they were doing quite plainly was not satire; it was simply a couple of jerks sitting around making mean-spirited and sexist comments. There is a difference.
It's satire ... The photo illustrates the theme of the cover ... These things are designed to look like explanations; to win credit for addressing the issue and to cut off further questions and to justify bad behavior. But they aren't actually explanations at all. They are a refusal to deal with criticism in a forthright way, and should be recognized (and mocked) as such. Just as we all recognize the non-apology apology for what it is.

Round four review
Canterbury picked up a bonus point victory in the Lincoln University National Under-19 Tournament today, extending their lead to four points over their closest rivals.
The leaders saw off Northern Districts by eight wickets, while second-placed Central Districts picked up a 37 run win over Auckland. In the other fourth round One Day match Otago fell to Wellington by 33 runs.
Otago had looked in control of the match at 100 for two while chasing Wellington's first innings total of 220. However the dismissal of opener Tom Griffin for 57 started a collapse from which they would not recover, with the southerners eventually dismissed after 46.5 overs for 187.
Earlier, a seventh wicket stand worth 138 between Rakitiha Weerasundara (80) and Tyler Johansson (53*) had revived a desperate situation for Auckland who had been 76 for six. Weerasundara was dismissed off the third last ball of the innings to leave his side seven down, but they still finished with a respectable score of over 200.
Canterbury on the other hand maintained control of the competition by cruising to their target of 152 in the 28th over.
Dylan Goldstone (62) was the top scorer in the pursuit, while co-opener Ben Ward (38) was also influential. Although neither managed to see out the match, they effectively ensured Canterbury would remain on top of the table.
It followed on from the good work done by their bowlers to dismiss Northern for 151 after 47.4 overs. Cameron Gibbons made a crucial 58, but apart from cameos from opener Thomas MacRury (31) and tail-ender Tom Clout (33) the batting line-up failed to fire.
It was an all-round display with the ball from Canterbury, but Hamish Robertson was the top wicket-taker with three scalps in his ten overs for 37.
The most exciting match of the day though went to Central's encounter against Auckland, where a 198 run opening stand carried the former to 307 for seven in the first-innings.
Henry Collier (106) and Brynn Cleaver (100) both had matches to remember and made sure Auckland would have their work cut out for them, while Graeme Tyron slammed 38 off 18 to add the finishing touches.
Auckland's response was a valiant one, with openers Sachin Varianth (56) and Ben Horne (83) putting on an opening stand of 125. Shawn Hicks continued to give his side hope with 48, but outside op the top three no-one could get going and in the penultimate over they were all out for 270.
The tournament moves to the fifth round tomorrow, before the teams take a rest day on Monday.
Points table:
Canterbury 27
Central Districts 23
Auckland 15
Otago 13
Northern Districts 12
Wellington 10

Beware the Sales Pitch
"Hey I'll give you two toys next week if you give me yours today." To a 6-year-old, this may seem tempting, but it still doesn't solve the problem of being toy-less now. Sales people have the same motive as an eager 6-year-old: they want your toys. But think back to when you were a child; would you have really given up that toy? As you prepare for holiday shopping, be wary of special offers like these:
- Time-contingent: "For a limited time only!" Anytime a person feels that they may miss out on something, rational thinking tends to slip. And "limited" sales often continue past their advertised end-date, or come back a week or so later.
- Limits: "Only 4 per customer." Just like with time, when a person feels limited, they're much more likely to make rash decisions. So remember, just because you can buy only three turkeys, doesn't mean you need to.
- "Free" Gifts: Oh the temptation of that free commemorative glass, free lamp, or free shipping. Slap "free" across just about anything and you get people's attention. But if you're $10 away from a "free" gift, that gift is costing you $10 more than you were going to spend in the first place.
- Discounts: OK, so discounts can be a great deal, if they're for something already on your list. Stores are great at catching shoppers' attention with 30% off this and $50 off that, but the discount is only as good the actual savings you receive. Why save $50 on a new TV if you're going to end up spending $250 more than planned?
- Watch the promotional credit traps. For example, 0% interest sounds great to start, but once it lapses your interest will likely be in the teens to high twenty's percentage rate. Sometimes the fine print will read that if you don't pay it off during the promotional time the interest accrues and then that gets added to the balance. Now you've increased the amount due on the original purchase.
- Buying in Bulk: 2 for 1, 3 for 5 . . . sure it's a great discount, but do you really need two toasters? Even though you're getting a discount, if you were not going to buy multiples of something to begin with, don't let bulk get the better of you.
- Accessories: Stores love to place all sorts of enticing extras right where you can't miss them—the register. Maybe it's that matching necklace, or clearance pair of gloves. Either way, don't let last minute temptations get the better of you.
If you're in the market for a new stove, and there happens to be one with a promotion, great! Just remember, if it's not on your list, do you really need it? Writing out a shopping list before you enter a store is always a good idea to help you avoid becoming a victim of the holiday sales come-ons.

In the shorter term, is there any reason why the testing library needs its own tool, instead of just being linked in with the teaching languages?

Rugby shirts need to be able to take plenty of tugging and pulling.
They also need to be lightweight, comfortable and strong - all at the same time.
Traditionally, jerseys were made from cotton, which would often get very heavy if it was raining.
But technology has seen new lightweight water-resistant, synthetic fibres in modern jerseys.
Although your rugby team/school will provide your jerseys for matches, it is worth buying one for training.
Make sure you get the right fit - too small and it will rip, too big and your opponents will be able to tackle you more easily.
Many shirts at the top level are designed to be figure-hugging. They are lighter and are designed to snap back once someone tries to grab them.
There are also different designs for the forwards in the scrum and the backs or loose forwards.
The five forwards in the scrum wear shirts that have panels for their team-mates to grab onto.

BOLTON United Harrier Tom Carson maintained his scintillating return to form with victory in the Trotters 5 Mile Race, hosted by Burnden Roadrunners.
He stormed away at the start, building a 250m lead by the two-mile marker and eventually romped home in 27.23, more than a minute ahead of ex-Bolton Harrier Mark Shakeshaft, who runs for Bury AC.
Carson's back-to-back race victories – the Trotters win followed up his success in the previous week's Lostock 6 – matched Marc Tillotson's feat of last year and his sights are now set on the Bolton 10K on April 22.
Shay Walker (28.51) was next home for Bolton, finishing fifth overall and first M40, smashing his personal best by 31seconds.
After taking up running only two years ago, he is building a reputation as a talented runner who is improving every month.
Mark Swannell, who narrowly beat Walker in the CLGP 5K a fortnight ago, was eighth and final counter for Bolton, who won the men's team award by 14 points from Astley and Tyldesley.
Consistent performers Ian Selby and James Rideout finished 13th and 28th, respectively, to ensure they remain top of the CLGP rankings.
Following a cat-andmouse game over the two circuits, Gary Jones finished 40th, just edging out team-mate Nathan Lee – both finishing in 34.14.
Another Bolton entrant, Ian Gregory, was six seconds behind, holding off Chris Povey, who finished 43rd.
Andrew Doyle led the Bolton B for whom Ken Fowker finished second M55 and featured personal bests for Jon Gettinby and Dunc Rankin.
Leigh Harrier Louisa Thompson won the women's race in 31.34.
Sarah Saxon (39.49) starred for the Bolton women's team, which included Lindsay Warburton, Catherine Jones and Joanne McClarence, who took bronze.
John Knowles was first home of the host club's entrants, finishing 10th overall with Steve Nolan finishing first V50 as the Roadrunners took third in the men's team event and second in the vets.
Kirsty Normanton was first of the Burnden women home with teammate Isaline Kneale first L45 and Lesley Fisher first L50.
The host club, whose vets team finished second overall, also did well in the junior categories, with Rob Short first junior male and Emma Holden first L17.
Burnden men's team finished third and the men's vets team were second.
Burnden ladies' vets were second overall.

The Tijuana Cartel is based in one of the most strategically important border towns in Mexico, and continues to export drugs even after being weakened from a brutal internal war during 2009.
Due to infighting, arrests and deaths of some of its top members, the Tijuana Cartel is a shell of what it was in the 1990s and early 2000s when it was considered one of the most potent and violent criminal organizations in Mexico. After the arrest or assassination of its founding members, the Arellano Felix clan, the cartel is now headed by Fernando Sanchez Arellano, a nephew of the Arellano Felix brothers who once bloodied Mexico and southern California with their brutish and authoritarian style. With the powerful Sinaloa Cartel moving into Tijuana in force, Sanchez Arellano is struggling to keep a grip on this lucrative drug and human trafficking corridor.

It's been a hectic weekend with lots of packing, organising, planning. Fun times, but exhausting as well. I had clearly been in denial of how much stuff we had actually managed to accumulate in 5 years. I am almost embarrassed to report that most of that 'stuff' is actually mine, and I'm the one who moved to this country 6 years a go bringing with me nothing but a 20kg suitcase! I am not even big on shopping (I promise!), but during the last couple of years I have managed to more than quadruple the amount of kitchen items and props. Even though I keep telling myself (and others) it's all because of the work I do, it is still rather alarming. All I can do is hope that our new home is bigger than I dare to think.
The good news this weekend was a sunny Sunday after almost a full week of rain. It was making me somewhat worried about the survival of my little kitchen garden, but hopefully today's sun will fix the extra moistness in the soil. In the midst of all the packing and scattered boxes, I managed to put together this tasty number. I adore black beans and wish good raw black beans were more readily available here in Sydney. I don't normally like to use canned beans because I rather enjoy the slight crunch of beans that are cooked until just tender. This time, however, tinned beans had to do, and it was probably better anyway so I could cut down the time spend on this salad. I love the combination of these flavours, and really recommend you try this. But please don't swap pink peppercorns to black pepper (or anything else). They really go so well with all the ingredients!
I must also recommend you make double batch of this. I thought I would get away with just one, but ended up having to make another batch straight after as I had scoffed most of the salad before it even got to the table.
Black bean salad
(serves 2-4)
2 x 400g tin black beans (please use raw beans, soaked and cooked until tender, if you can!), drained and rinsed well
1 red capsicum/bell pepper, chopped into small cubes
2 zucchinis/courgettes, chopped into small cubes
1 avocado, chopped into small cubes
zest of 1 preserved lemon wedge (my recipe here)
2 green onions, finely sliced
1 tablespoon pink peppercorns, slightly crushed
2 tablespoons flaxseed oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
big handful of fresh mint, finely chopped
1. Combine all the ingredients. Refrigerate for 30 minutes for the flavours to develop, if you have the patience. I didn't.
PS. Today also marks 8 weeks since I started my sugar-free challenge! Woot, I did it!
I'll be recapping my experiences and thoughts a bit later this week, so stay tuned!

VOTERS went to the polls yesterday to help choose Wiltshire's first police and crime commissioner – but turn-out in the historic county-wide election was expected to be low.
PCCs are being brought in by the Government to replace police authorities in England and Wales.
They will have the power to hire and fire chief constables and set the force's budget and strategy.
The Wiltshire candidates were Labour's Clare Moody, Conserv-ative Angus Macpherson, Lib Dem Paul Batchelor, John Short for the UK Independence Party and independents Colin Skelton and Liam Silcocks.
People were given the option to vote for a second choice.
The result was expected to be declared in the early hours of this morning.
The Electoral Commission was hoping for a turnout of about 30 per cent – in line with the average for a council election – but after the polls opened, it became clear that some polling stations in Swindon were super quiet, with perhaps only one voter turning up every 20 minutes.
Things were slow at St Barnabas Church Hall, in Ferndale Road, where 23 voters had passed through by the end of the normal morning rush about 9.40am.
Pamela Stone, 70, of Whiteman Street, said she would give her support to Labour's candidate, Clare Moody, but felt turn-out would be very low as she had not received any political literature.
She said: "Really they should be knocking on your door. I know nothing about the people whatsoever.
"They can't expect you to vote for them if you don't know anything about them.
"I think there's a female on there so that's the one I will go for just because she's female. I don't know anything else about anybody."
Things were equally slow at Rodbourne Methodist Church, in Rodbourne Road, where the only voter in sight was Joan Jeffrey, 77, of Burnham Court.
She said: "I voted Liberal because the local Liberals are pretty good aren't they."
Commenting on the option of a second-choice vote, she added: "I voted for the Liberals and then Labour as second choice. It's confusing."
But things were busier at Blunsdon Village Hall, where people could also cast a ballot in the Blunsdon and Highworth ward by election, which was triggered by the death of Coun Doreen Dart.
The Conservatives need to win to maintain majority control of Swindon Council.
Sharon Squires, of Blunsdon, said she voted in the PCC election for Conservative Angus Macpherson as first choice and Lib Dem Paul Batchelor as second choice.
She said: "It was not particularly easy. I didn't feel I really heard enough about it.
It's been on the news but I haven't heard in any detail about the candidates or the whole thing.
"I did have a quick look at the leaflets today and based it on that.
"I did vote for two. I was surprised I had a first and a second choice because most elections you just get one. I did debate but then I went for two."
Aidan Hannon, 21, of Blunsdon, voted for Conservative Angus Macpherson as first choice and independent Colin Skelton as second choice, as well as Conservative Steve Weisinger in the by-election.
He said: "I thought I would support whoever had the toughest stance on drugs.
"I think a lot of crime problems stem from people abusing drugs, and drugs around the town, so I thought it would be the best issue to go on."

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Famous actress Angelina Jolie made headlines when she announced she was having a preventive mastectomy after testing positive for a BRCA mutation. It was a story that caught the attention of women everywhere, but women aren't the only ones who are affected by these genes.
A year ago, Josh Newby quit his successful job at a dot-com company to care for his mom Theresa.
"It's the greatest decision I ever made," Josh told Ivanhoe.
Theresa had stage IV breast cancer and was in hospice until she passed away.
When she was diagnosed, she tested positive for a BRCA gene mutation. She wanted Josh to get the blood test too. His result was also positive.
"I thought, wow, I have this gene. I got to take my life a little more seriously," Josh said.
Genetic counselor Khateriaa Pyrtel says many don't realize men can pass the faulty gene to their daughters and women can pass it on to their sons.
"I do find that it's often like they're not even thinking about the men in the families. We get the same information from our mothers that we do from our fathers in terms of our genes," Khateriaa Pyrtel, MS, CGC, Certified Genetic Counselor, Washington University School of Medicine, told Ivanhoe.
Men and women with a BRCA mutation have a 50 percent chance of passing it on. Women with the mutation are up to seven times more likely to develop breast cancer, and at least ten times more likely to develop ovarian cancer.
The risk is much lower for men. Only 2,240 cases of male breast cancers are diagnosed each year. However, men with the mutation are at a higher risk for other types of cancers including prostate, stomach, pancreatic, and melanoma.
The rule of thumb is that men should consider testing if they have a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer. Josh was glad he did.
"I do hope to have children someday, and that's very powerful information to have," Josh said.
There's currently no standardized guidelines recommended for men, but men from families with a strong history of breast and ovarian cancer should consider getting tested.
To learn more about Josh's foundation, log onto www.metastaticfoundation.org.
BACKGROUND: Approximately five to ten percent of breast cancers are thought to be hereditary. Most inherited breast cancer cases are associated with two abnormal genes: BRCA1 and BRCA2. Everyone carries them. Their function is to repair cell damage and keep breast cells growing normally. However, when these genes are mutated, they don't function normally and breast cancer risk increases. BRCA1 and BRCA2 abnormal genes account for up to ten percent of all breast cancers, or one out of every ten cases. (Source: http://www.breastcancer.org)
RISKS: Having an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene doesn't mean you will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Researchers are discovering that other mutations in parts of chromosomes—called SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms)–may be linked to higher breast cancer risk in women with an abnormal BRCA1 gene as well as women who didn't inherit an abnormal breast cancer gene. You are substantially more likely to have an abnormal breast cancer gene if:
• You have blood relatives on either your father's or mother's side of the family who had breast cancer diagnosed before age 50.
• A man in your family has had breast cancer.
• There is both ovarian and breast cancer in your family.
• There are other gland-related cancers in your family such as pancreatic, colon, and thyroid cancers. (Source: http://www.webmd.com)
BRCA IN MEN: The average woman in the U.S. has about a 12 to 13 percent risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime. Women who have an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene can have up to an 80 percent risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. Men who have an abnormal BRCA2 gene have a higher risk for breast cancer than men who don't—about eight percent by the time they are 80 years old. Men with an abnormal BRCA1 gene have a higher risk of prostate cancer. Men who have an abnormal BRCA2 gene are seven times more likely than men without the abnormal gene to develop prostate cancer. In May 2013, a man became the first patient to undergo a prostatectomy after finding out that he carried the BRCA2 gene mutation. The man who had the surgery was participating in a clinical trial that involved more than 20,000 men. Previous results from the trial showed that a man with a BRCA2 mutation has an 8.6-fold increased risk of developing prostate cancer, and with a BRCA1 mutation has a 3.4-fold increased risk. The man was described as a 53-year-old London businessman who has children and has several family members who have had breast or prostate cancer. Researchers were reluctant at first; however, a biopsy showed microscopic malignant changes. "The relatively low level of cancerous cells we found in this man's prostate before the operation should, these days, not prompt immediate surgery to remove the gland, but given what we now know about the nature of BRCA2, it was definitely the right thing to do for this patient," Dr. Kirby was quoted as saying. (Source: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/804423).
While a prostatectomy may be extreme, men who know they carry a BRCA gene mutation should take proactive steps like getting screened regularly for some of the cancers associated with the mutation, such as an annual prostate cancer screening with a PSA test and annual skin examinations for melanoma. Men with a BRCA mutation should also seek medical advice about any changes in their breasts. (Source: www.cancer.gov)

Beauty Top 5: April 2009
Specialty: Chanel celebrity makeup artist Yoshimoto Bua is beloved by longtime clients such as Jessica Biel for creating legendary red-carpet moments. (Who can forget Michelle Williams' crimson lip/saffron gown combo at the 2006 Oscars?)
Secret weapon: When applying liner, Yoshimoto Bua has clients raise their eyebrows and squint: "It tightens up the lid so you can get to the base of the lash line."
Quick fix: "I use brown mascara on the lower lashes—black can close up the eyes," she says. "For an even softer look, gently wiggle the wand into the base of the lashes, then smudge off the excess with your fingers to give a light wash of color."
Frownies Rose Water Hydrator Spray "sets makeup and refreshes skin."

So considering we are a mixed batch here does anyone else have a Traeger and if so what's your opinion, pro or con.
We picked up a Texas 075 the other day because my wife actually liked it and said it looked like something she would use and I have to admit it's not bad, well so far anyway I'm doing my first cook today, 2 chickens to see if I'll keep it, eh, we all know better than that. I know they really aren't the best thing for searing and they don't impart a heavy smoke flavor which is something the wife also likes, she isn't big on a lot of smoke on anything but pulled pork. The fuel isn't real cheap either but I have seen stuff that costs more and it's not charcoal or gas even though I have seen charcoal flavored pellets and if the power goes out the darn thing can be powered off a 400 watt inverter .

On Sunday, same-sex couples began marrying in New York, the sixth state where such unions are legal. It was certainly a big step forward in the battle for LGBT equality. But it seems that every time equality takes one step forward in one place, something happens somewhere else that takes us all two steps — or three, or four — back.
The day after same-sex marriages started in New York, I found this story about a high school principal in McGeHee, Ark., who decided to name a white student as co-valedictorian of the 2011 senior class, even though a black student had a higher GPA and should have been named the class' sole valedictorian.
(I am not trying to start a debate here about whether the LGBT civil rights movement is the same as the black civil rights movement. I am just saying that there's a long way to go when it comes to equality for everyone.)
Kymberly Wimberly, 18, got only one B — the rest of her grades were all As — during her years at McGehee Secondary Schools, even though her class schedule had always been loaded down with honors and advanced placement classes, according to a report by Courthouse News Service. Even though, as Wimberly's senior year drew to a close, she had the highest GPA in the class — something her school guidance counselor had already told her — Principal Darrell Thompson decided to name a white student as co-valedictorian because he didn't want people to be upset that the school, where a majority of students are white, had a black valedictorian, according to Wimberly and her mother, Molly Bratton.
News reports, by the way, indicate that 46 percent of the student body at McGehee is black. So the white majority isn't really a big majority at all.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Today's volleyball season opening tournament will continue to signal the start of the Lions' newest partnership with Stretch Internet as the Lions' Game Central Portal debuts in the renovated Bowman Center.
Fans can access the portal here – http://client.stretchinternet.com/client/saintleo.portal#
Links will go live approximately five minutes before the beginning of each game.
Stretch Internet is a familiar name to fans of the Lions as they helped launch the Saint Leo Lions AudioCast Network with audio-only broadcasts back in 2005. The original agreement allowed Saint Leo to expose a developing competitive product to a national audience through broadcasts using landline and cellular telephone technology. Since the original partnership, Stretch has expanded their offering into live video streaming featuring the Game Central portal, a place where Lions' fans can access any and all game information within a single, polished Saint Leo-branded interface complete with on-screen graphics.
As has been the case since the first broadcast in 2005, all video and audio streaming content will continue to be free of charge with added usability via mobile streaming to the Apple iOS platform - which includes iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices - and to Android and other mobile devices that support Flash. For the first time ever, archived versions of select sporting events will also be available, allowing DVR-style functionality to fans that can't watch or listen live.

After visiting local historic sites, examining photos, family histories, letters and diaries, creating photos, video, and GPS data, and conducting interviews, students will share their learning with other students and members of the community through multi-media photo stories that will be linked to the local city cemetery web site. Finally, they will create Google Earth Place Tours that will become a story map of their subject's life. This project is part of the Innovator Cadre program that is a result of the new model of education, the district has adopted. This new model of education is changing the way in which teaching and learning are structured in the district so that they more accurately reflect the globalization and technological advances of the 21st century, as well as ensuring the engagement and success of students.
