Michael Angarano, who once dated the 'Twilight Saga' beauty, admits in recent interview he can't wait to see Robert's upcoming movie 'Bel Ami'.
Michael Angarano seems to harbor no hard feeling toward Robert Pattinson. The actor, who dated Kristen Stewart before she was rumored dating Rob, sat down with NextMovie.com to talk about his latest project "Ceremony", and interviewer Breanne Heldman claimed he got funnier after the "Twilight Saga" heartthrob's name popped out.
Speaking of the 23-year-old's reaction, Breanne shared with E! Online, "He showed zero surprise at the question, smiled and maybe raised an eyebrow when he answered." The interviewer further noted, "He was completely unfazed and, if anything, he got funnier and possibly even more relaxed from that point in the interview."
Michael was actually joking that his "Ceremony" co-star Uma Thurman might like younger men before Robert was mentioned. When Breanne replied, "With 'Prime', 'Ceremony' and 'Bel Ami' with Robert Pattinson, you have to wonder", he said, "Oh, 'Bel Ami,' that's right. Can't wait to see that."
In "Ceremony", Michael stars as Sam who tries to woo Uma's Zoe. Talking about his character, he said, "I just looked at him as a very flawed, manically insecure guy who's having an identity crisis of some kind, who's been bulls***ting himself for so long that he doesn't realize that he's bulls***ting other people too. He's fooling himself but not really anybody else."

A Giant Deer Statue That's Being Hauled by a Trucker Fails to Clear an Overpass
A truck driver in Kazakhstan was recently hauling a huge statue of a deer. And even though the deer's head OBVIOUSLY wasn't going to fit under an overpass…he went for it, and rammed the thing's head right into the side of it.
The person driving behind him made sure to get it on video.
It hits the overpass at :20

Children who eat fast food three or more times a week have a higher chance of developing asthma, eczema or hay fever, a New Zealand-led study has found.
Eating fresh fruit, in contrast, can act as a protective factor against these allergy-based conditions.
The study, published in the Thorax journal, surveyed more than 400 000 children from 51 countries.
It found that teenagers who ate fast food three or more times a week had a 39 percent increased risk of severe asthma, while primary school-aged children had a 27 percent higher risk.
However, eating three or more servings of fruit a week could cut the chance of severe asthma, eczema and hay fever by between 11 and 14 percent across the age groups.
The University of Auckland's Professor Innes Asher, who led the study, said parents should sit up and take notice of the findings.
"These results are quite concerning, because fast food outlets are on the rise," Asher said. "The bottom line is that people should be careful about the amount of fast food they eat."
Though the exact reason why consumption of fast food is linked to these conditions is unknown, Asher cites factors such as high levels of trans- and saturated- fatty acids as possible contenders. These fats are known to affect immunity, which could in turn lead to allergy-related conditions.
Eating fresh fruit provides protection against these conditions because it contains beneficial antioxidants, she said.
The study indicates an association between the factors, rather than establishing a causal link. – New Zealand Herald

Why is it illegal to go topless or nude, Why is Arkansas so up tight about it? Nudity has its place and the river is the place. With all the miles and miles of creek, river and lake front why don't we have some places set a side for nudist use? But when does the government or the state ever care What the people want.

What an idiot! Its a wonder god hasnt destroyed us yet cuz of people like you! Id like to kick you in your azz

STFU and get back under your rock. If you don't like it then don't go there. See how EZ that is. If I were as nasty looking as you I wouldn't get naked either.
Party Naked
#4 Jul 11, 2012
Thats why i go where i want and dont have to worry about it because its not allowed around here. If you wanna be a retard and run around with floppy titties naked with you friends, buy your own land and do it damn.
#5 Jul 11, 2012
Mr. Grandpa jones, If I had your floppy old balls hanging down to my knees I would hide too.
We need and want some public land set a side for nudist use.

Seen a couple guys playing in the buff early one morning upper Pigon Creek couple years ago while lake was up. Looked a little funny two guys in the buff and no girls around. Maybe they didn't expect anyone walking up trail so early. I just stayed away and wasn't noticed. Some day I'll have my homestead liveable at Clark Ridge and enjoy more hiking.

Which of the hiking trails at Pigon Creek do you like best? I was looking at the Pigon Creek web site It looks like a nice place for a day trip. Do you go to the area on Hwy 201 by the bridge.
If people want to get naked and skinny dip doesn't bother me a bit. I do have to agree we need some places for skinny dipping.

You talk about God like you care about Him and then talk about kicking "azz". Hypochristian! God GAVE you that body, or was it McDonalds....? Maybe if you still had the body God gave you, you wouldn't be ashamed of it. MY titties don't 'flop', btw because I take care of myself and I have no hang ups about nudity either. I was born nude!
#16 Oct 8, 2012
You can get naked at my house as long as you are a man with-a-big-gun
#19 Oct 11, 2012
I have 2 young children and we like to enjoy the lakes and rivers to. I was impressed the last time we went out. I know the river is a place for people to party but it was like they had people watching out and would holler "kid coming" when they saw any kids and kept it mild.
#20 Oct 11, 2012
I love being naked. I think the human body is both beautiful and interesting. Most anyway. LOL. I'd love to find a place, locally, where nudity was not frowned upon and welcomed.
#21 Oct 12, 2012
I'd like to get naked and run around ur house..wats ur email..we can do it this weekend..
#23 Jan 29, 2013
@whatever lets get nude together and make love all night long :0
#24 Mar 24, 2013
Hey , i may be wrong but i think if there are enough people who want a place to get naked and enjoy life a little, i think any federal land or park if petitioned by enough people has to set land aside for that reason. I don't know how to go about it but i believe its worth looking into
#25 Mar 24, 2013
Arkansas law will not allow it, that is why there are not any nudist camps in Arkansas. You have to go to the 40 Acres club in Missouri, that is the closest to here.
#26 Mar 24, 2013
It is a shame that it is illegal. While being a nudist is not for me, I believe people should be allowed to practice and enjoy nudity. They are not running through our neighborhoods or forcing it on us. They are not harming anyone either. If it is not for you that's fine, but why bash them or keep them from being who they are?

He was born 91 years ago today in Duluth, christened Argonne Thornton. On November 26, 1945, this denizen of 52nd Street in its glorious Bebop period had alternated with Dizzy Gillespie on piano on Charlie Parker's immortal "Ko-Ko" date. According to his Wikipedia entry, "Hakim is credited with co-writing Thelonious Monk's standard 'Eronel' and is rumored to have written a few famous bop tunes credited to other composers. He adopted his Muslim name in 1947."
The most common, and most apt, adjective associated with Sadik Hakim is "unsung." Although the average jazz fan cannot recognize his name, I have run into it repeatedly, and unexpectedly, in many of the jazz biographies I've read in the last few years. For example, I'll pick up From Swing to Bop (p. 305), only to read Shelly Manne's memory of a night at the Onyx on 52nd Street in the early '40s when big Ben Webster knocked over nearly every table to dissuade some rowdy solider on leave from further pestering his pianist. Or just today, when I consulted Feather and Gitler's The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz for information on a former music teacher of mine, saxist Paul Jeffrey (with whom I took a single, but valuable, lesson in 1974), I learned that Professor Jeffrey had played with Hakim in 1961.
Some of Sadik Hakim's memories of befriending as well as working with Bird are recorded in Bird: The Legend of Charlie Parker, edited by Robert Reisner. It was because I had read this book sometime before November 19, 1976, that I was able to appreciate to some extent the good fortune of his gregariously striking up a conversation with me, a total stranger, that night at Bradley's (70 University Place, 1969-1996).
I was there to see legendary bop-era guitarist Jimmy Raney, who did not disappoint. (He played Bird's "Billie's Bounce" at my request, and his son, Doug, sat in for one or two numbers.) During the second set I was, according to my diary, "joined at my table by Sadik (I think that's it) who knew all the greats. It was great talking to him. After the second set I walked him over to Sweet Basil's [88 Seventh Avenue South] where George Coleman was blowing an alto [sax] apart. On the way, I recall [to him] somebody from a book on Charlie Parker who had a Moslem name and who knew Bird well. It turns out it was he!! He doesn't drink or smoke; he lives his religion. I was very impressed with him. He's going on tour now with somebody."
In 1978, he recorded Sonny Stitt Meets Sadik Hakim. Listen to clips from Witches, Goblins, etc. on Amazon for instant evidence that he was "the real thing."
In 1978, he recorded Sonny Stitt Meets Sadik Hakim. Listen to clips from Witches, Goblins, etc. on Amazon for instant evidence that he was "the real thing."
He accomplished much more than I can summarize usefully in a post, but a quick search will bring you to the most salient facts. He passed away in June of 1983, about a year after playing "Round Midnight" at the funeral of Thelonious Monk.
In 1976 I could not have imagined paying tribute to him this way. Thank you, Sadik, for going out of your way to touch my life, however fleetingly, not in cyberspace, but at Bradley's. I wish I had gone out of my way to keep in touch, but my self-esteem, or lack thereof, wasn't up to the task. I had foolishly undervalued the evidence of your accessibility and ruled myself out.
Perhaps I'm learning from you after all. Happy Birthday, Teacher. Requiescas in pace.

Property yields unlikely to be impacted by interest rates
Property yields unlikely to be impacted by interest rates
With the Official Cash Rate (OCR) lifting 0.25% to now sit at 3%, interest rates are grabbing the attention of property investors across the country. With further rises on the horizon should investors fear a negative impact on property values? The answer, according to property consultants JLL, is not as clear cut as many would expect.
There is little doubt that recent increases in the OCR signal that the New Zealand economy is moving into an interest rate firming cycle. Many commentators are expecting the OCR to head towards 4% by the end of 2014 and potentially 5% by 2015. Notwithstanding this rise in interest rates market evidence and pricing sentiment is placing downward pressure on yields and an upward pressure on asset pricing.
Andrew Brown, Sales Investment Director at JLL says, "We are continuing to see a firming of property yields with landmark assets such as the Lumley Centre currently on the market to likely test the top end of the yield range even further."
"If interest rates rise, conventional market wisdom would suggest that property yields will soften. Research undertaken by JLL shows however that historically this is not the case. Interest rates and property yields are both lagging economic indicators."
Yields are a financial measure that takes into account future asset performance. Whilst there is solid economic momentum with the overall environment and limited new supply there is little to force yields back up to historical levels. This firm yield profile tends to coincide with late cycle interest rate firming.
Justin Kean, JLL Head of Research and Consulting notes, "As the market reached its peak in the last real estate cycle we saw the classic yield / interest rate relationship develop. Through June 2007, Prime yields for office and industrial firmed to a range of 7-8%. At the same time mortgage interest rates peaked at 10.8% moving very quickly in a different direction. By mid-2011 property yields were back to 9-10% and interest rates had plummeted to below 6%. Data since 1990 suggests that yields and mortgage rates actually have a negative correlation meaning that they tend to move in opposite directions rather than moving in the same direction as conventional wisdom suggests."
The evidence provided by JLL therefore suggests that, so long as the economy has sound momentum, cap rates for property will continue to firm. As such as interest rates increase over the next two years the downward trajectory of yields will likely continue for some time.
Brown continues, "The cost of debt is only one factor investors will consider when considering direct real estate investment. Other factors include location, the strategic nature of the site not to mention the amount of debt – if any – that they are looking to secure against the asset."
Kean continues, " So next time you are standing round the water cooler, at a barbeque or in a high powered meeting and someone proffers the opinion that interest rates are going to impact on commercial property pricing know that like many rules of thumb in the property world, things couldn't be further from the truth."

Ford is a village and civil parish in Shropshire, England.
Ford lies west of the county town of Shrewsbury, just off the A458 road and near to the River Severn, at . The Royal Mail postcode is SY5. There is one pub in Ford, The Smoke Stop which is a barbecue themed pub similar to an average pub in the United States. It is in the west part of the village. The Pavement Gates (previously The Owen Glendower), is now an Indian restaurant called Saffron Cottage, and is situated next to the Shell Garage. The garage now includes a Nisa shop, which is the only shop in the village.
St Michael's Church, Ford is located in the older part of the village. A morning Holy Communion Service takes place at 9.30am on the second and fourth Sunday of the month. An Evensong Service takes place at 6.30pm on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month (this is moved to 4.30pm in Winter).
Ford has a primary school, Trinity CE Primary, which was formed through merging the schools of Ford, Yockleton and Wattlesborough.
The village was served by the Ford and Crossgates station on the Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway. The line was requistioned in 1941 to serve the new Central Ammunition Depot Nesscliffe and one of the four sub-sites for ammunition storage was constructed next to Ford and Crossgates station; in 2010 ten storage buildings remained in use for civilian purposes.

What I Learned from Our First Year of Homeschool
Last night I was reading John Holt's Teach Your Own before bed, wishing it wasn't a library book so I could highlight my favorite passages. Instead I kept ripping up a piece of paper to mark the parts I loved. It seemed there was something on every page. This might be a book I need to own. I'll share some John Holt quotes in this post, in part because I want to have them written down somewhere to refer back to.
This blogpost has been writing itself in my head for several weeks now. But it never felt like the school year was complete for the same reason that it never feels like the school day is complete. Homeschooling never ends because children are always learning. We have "school" plans that extend throughout the summer. It seems sort of strange to even define grade levels now. I can see how they will all bleed together as we simply incorporate "school" into our lives year-round. But since the traditional school year has ended for the local kids, I suppose I can write this blogpost now.
1) The more time I spend with my kids, the more I love them.
I know lots of moms savor the time their kids are away at school to recharge and get things done. I wondered if I would miss having a quiet house during the middle of each day, but I haven't at all. The more time I spend with my kids, the more I love them. We have had so much fun learning together. Watching them make discoveries and work together and create and grow has brought me so much joy. I feel like I know my kids better and love them more than ever. I love this description from John Holt:
We can sum up very quickly what people need to teach their own children. First of all, they have to like them, enjoy their company, their physical presence, their energy, foolishness, and passion. They have to enjoy all their talk and questions, and enjoy equally trying to answer those questions. They have to think of their children as friends, indeed very close friends, have to feel happier when they are near and miss them when they are away (Teach Your Own, p. 46).
Homeschool has been healing and wonderful for all of our relationships. However, this may be entirely attributable to the fact that my kids get to sleep as late as they want to. They are so much more cheerful and pleasant to be around when they're well-rested. And so am I. ;-)
2) Sitting still is overrated.
An older woman I go to church with asked, several months ago if she could come observe us "doing school." She said, "I'd like to see how you get them to sit still in their chairs and be quiet." I laughed out loud and said, "I don't." She seemed very confused. I think a lot of people have a picture in their minds of what school has to look like, and so they assume homeschool must look that way too. It is rare, in fact, that my children are sitting in chairs quietly listening to me. They're usually scattered around the house or out on the hammock. When we do gather at the kitchen table, it's usually because we're doing science experiments or creating things, and even then the kids are usually standing, bouncing on the yoga ball, or moving around. And that's a good thing!
- "Children use sensory and motor activity to learn . . . which is enhanced through physical activity. Exercise has also been found to improve attention and the ability to remain on task. Over time, it may also trigger the development of new cells and blood vessels that lead to improved cognitive performance" (Source).
- "Research by Dr Mark Benden from Texas A&M Ergonomics showed that pupils showed 12 per cent more engagement in tasks when using standing desks compared to traditional classroom seating. During tests of their executive function – their ability to analyse problems and solve them – pupils showed increased neurocognitive function when standing up. The researchers also found using standing desks burn between 15 and 25 per cent more calories compared to when using traditional classroom seating" (Source).
3) I'm not really a teacher.
As I have done my best to build my children's learning environment, I have developed so much more respect and appreciation for their innate curiosity. I have grown to understand that what they are choosing to do with their time is often more important than what I would choose to do with their time. Children want to learn and they are always learning. My job isn't to spend all day teaching them. Often, my job is to get out of their way. John Holt sums up how I feel about my role as a "teacher" to my children:
- "Children don't need, don't want, and couldn't stand six hours of teaching a day, even if parents wanted to do that much. To help them find out about the world doesn't take that much adult input. Most of what they need, parents have been giving them since they were born. As I have said, they need access. . . . Perhaps above all, they need a lot of privacy, solitude, calm times when there's nothing to do" (Teach Your Own, p. 48).
- "Of course, a child may not know what he may need to know in ten years (who does?), but he knows, and much better than anyone else, what he wants and needs to know right now, what his mind is ready and hungry for. If we help him, or just allow him, to learn that, he will remember it, use it, build on it" (TYO, p. 49).
4) There's no such thing as "getting behind."
I consult Pinterest a lot for homeschool ideas. A lot. On one occasion I saw a Pin about "getting behind" in homeschool, and it totally spiked my inner guilt-o-meter. Here's the thing: I know that my kids are not learning all the same things their peers in public/traditional schools are learning. I know that without a doubt. Sure they're learning some of the same things. But by some measures of scholastic achievement, you might say they are getting "left behind" their peers.
So many times over the past year I found myself getting frustrated with my now-7-year-old when he didn't want to write in his journal or practice math skills. One of the primary things his 1st grade teacher was concerned about with him (before we started homeschooling) was his handwriting. And now, eight months later, his writing is no more legible than it was. It might even be worse. Sigh.
Over time, I've come to feel totally at peace with allowing my children's school experience to be unconventional and "ahead" or {gasp} "behind" grade-level. For my son, I'm finding that as I demand less writing from him, he is more eager to write. And as I use fewer worksheets for math, he enjoys practicing math skills a whole lot more. This old saying from Finland is something I like to remind myself frequently: "Those things you learn without joy you will forget easily."
I care much more that he is happy and enjoying learning than that he is "keeping up" with where a 7-year-old "should" be. How many first graders in school get to build and use a trebuchet, watch Spanish language films, spontaneously sit at the piano for extended periods of time and compose their own songs, go on multiple field trips per month, learn keyboarding, or go swimming for P.E. nearly every day? One way or another kids will learn what they need to learn. And allowing them to "fall behind" in some areas gives them the time and energy to exceed expectations in others they find more fascinating. It all evens out in the end. Or at least that's what I keep telling myself. ;-)
5) Age is no barrier to friendship.
I suppose this wasn't really something new to me, but it was certainly made all the more clear this year. At the beginning of our homeschooling journey last fall, a little toddler girl at a homeschool event took my 12-year-old daughter's hand and pulled her around the park as though they were the best of friends. My children have become closer friends with each other as they have spent this year together, and having our new baby mid-school-year just deepened the love between all of them.
A few days ago, we got a card from our ukulele teacher, an elderly retired schoolteacher (who also taught my daughters a poetry class this year). She and my 10-year-old daughter have had awesome ukulele folk music jam sessions every Monday morning for the past eight months. Having lost my dear grandmother four years ago, I have so enjoyed having a "grandma" figure to visit so regularly. We have come to truly love this beautiful woman. She has been such a gift in our lives, and it was so lovely to read her card and find that we have also been a gift to her.
6) Let them play.
John Holt gives a whole chapter of Teach Your Own to the subject of play. It's titled, "Serious Play" and I haven't finished it yet, but I love these words:
We must also resist the . . . temptation to think that this part of children's lives [fantasy play] is less important than the parts where they are doing something "serious"–reading, or writing, or doing schoolwork, or something that we want them to do–or to think that we can only allow them time for fantasy after all the important work is done, as we might give them a little piece of candy after a meal. For children, play and fantasy are one of the main courses of the meal (p. 129).
Playfulness is like fertilizer for creativity and discovery. Albert Einstein said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge," and "Creativity is intelligence having fun." I've written a whole blogpost about the importance of play, if you want to know more. My children play a lot, and I wouldn't have it any other way. So I love it when news articles and blogposts say stuff like this:
- "'In the early years – and that's up to around eight – a play-based methodology makes a lot of sense.' She cites New Zealand research indicating that early formal literacy lessons do not make children any better readers by age 11, and may even put them off reading" (Source).
- "When children play, Osei Ntiamoah continued, they're developing their language, math, and social-interaction skills. A recent research summary 'The Power of Play' supports her findings: 'In the short and long term, play benefits cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. . . . When play is fun and child-directed, children are motivated to engage in opportunities to learn,' the researcher concluded" (Source).
I spent so much of my childhood in imaginative, unstructured, free-of-adult-intrusion play. We made mud pies, caught grasshoppers, built clubhouses, climbed trees, played Monopoly, Sorry, and hide-and-seek, pretended to inhabit countless imaginary worlds, and walked to the corner store for candy, ice cream, or baseball cards. The adults in my life didn't try to micromanage my time. They let me be a kid. I wish the world was safe enough to let my own children roam as freely as I did, but at least I can let them play.
It has been such a beautiful year. We have learned and grown so much as a family. I don't know if homeschool will be the right thing for us forever, but there is no doubt in my mind that it was the right thing for us this year. The kids are definitely in favor of hiring me again as their "teacher," and I can't think of any other job I'd rather accept.

If the heave had been good, it would have been a beauty, a high-arching miracle parachuting through the mesh from high above the backboard.
But it didn't go in. And, in the same instant, Kapono was on his way out the door. Before he left, somebody asked him if his quick exit didn't contravene the unwritten code of the sharpshooter, many of whom, experience tells us, never leave on a miss.
Kapono laughed the languid laugh of a California beach child.
"If you leave on a miss," he said, "that means a make is coming tomorrow."
If only it were that true for the Raptors, if only their five-game losing streak was a sure sign that tonight's game in Philadelphia was the start of a five-game win streak. Even if it is, even if they use a weak late schedule to make a down-the-stretch rally, there is no salvaging this season. You have to respect that Jay Triano, the interim head coach in charge of front-of-the-camera optimism, is in a tricky position.
Triano, think about it, has to make daily attempts at explaining a dud of a campaign without trashing the wafer-thin roster that has been assembled by Bryan Colangelo, the resident president and general manager. Repeatedly suggesting that a lack of talent is at the heart of these past couple of years of woe, after all, is one of the key reasons a truth teller named Sam Mitchell got a paid vacation after 17 games. Unlike Mitchell, Triano doesn't have a multi-million-dollar golden handshake awaiting him if he loses his gig. He has to remain in Colangelo's favour if there is any chance of him retaining the job come autumn (and there is, make no mistake, a good chance that he will).
And so Triano has turned to some interesting media-scrum topics, speaking as though there's something to be learned in all this losing other than what we all know – that Toronto needs better players.
"In the grand scheme of things I hate losing, but I sat through loss after loss after loss in Vancouver watching as a broadcaster, and I think that helped me more than watching them win would have," said Triano.
It must be comforting for fans to know that Triano, when things look destitute, leans on his six years of experience as a radio broadcaster for Vancouver Grizzlies, only the worst-run franchise in NBA history, a team that, in its best season, won 23 games. And if you ever need any game-night advice, Jay, I know a TV technician who sat courtside when Darrell Walker and Butch Carter combined to coach the Raptors to a 16-66 record. Dude has been the second coming of Red Auerbach ever since.
The truth is, Triano has done more than watch the Grizzlies play poorly. He's a hard-working coach who has been around the NBA a long time. But at least half the head-coaching job, he must know, has nothing to do with all that. It's about communicating effectively with players and media and fans.
Yesterday wasn't one of his better days in that regard. Somebody asked Triano, after he had made reference to making notes for next season's training camp, how he knew he'd even be at training camp.
"If I'm coaching down the street at a high school, I've got notes now from an experience this year," he said. "I'm a coach, so I don't need to be here. I could be anywhere I want to be."
That's not true at all. He can be an NBA head coach here and nowhere else, at least for now. But forgive Triano for spouting balderdash when the questions come fast.
Colangelo being who he is – a guy who doesn't like to hear a word against what he's built here – speaking the truth is not an option.

Gordon Marshall Award Winners
May 23, 2013
Dr. Eric Silverman and Dr. Lenette Azzi-Lessing were named the 2013 recipients of Wheelock's Gordon Marshall Award. The prestigious fellowships are awarded each year to provide teaching and scholarship opportunities for tenured and tenure-track faculty members.
Gordon L. Marshall was president of Wheelock College from 1973 to 1983. During his presidency, Dr. Marshall worked to create academic resources for students and faculty. This fund, named in his honor, was established to support faculty teaching and scholarship.
Each spring, faculty members submit proposals for the Gordon Marshall Fellowship to the Academic Council. The Academic Council then reviews and selects the most deserving proposals.
This year's recipients are:
Dr. Eric Silverman
Dr. Silverman will be conducting ethnographic fieldwork in Papua New Guinea during summer 2014. This research will allow him to update and complete the writing of a book manuscript (which is under contract at The University of Hawaii Press) titled "Primitive Art in a Postmodern World: Totems, Tourists, and Sepik River Aesthetics." The manuscript will consist of 90,000 words, with 80 black-and-white images and a color insert of 16 pages.
Dr. Lenette Azzi-Lessing
Dr. Azzi-Lessing will be using her fellowship to write a book that addresses the cycle of child poverty in the United States. The book, "In Defense of Welfare Mothers: Breaking the Shameful Cycle of Poverty for Our Youngest Children," will examine the forces that have shifted public opinion to be largely against aiding low-income, single mothers, and why this must change in order to prevent long-term poverty for children.

Johnston, Mary: Prisoners of Hope. V1. 21 Jan 2009
Mary Johnston (November 21, 1870 May 9, 1936) was an American novelist and women's rights advocate.
The daughter of an American Civil War soldier who became a successful lawyer, Mary Johnston was born in the small town of Buchanan, Virginia. A small and frail girl, she was educated at home by family and tutors. She grew up with a love of books and was financially independent enough to devote herself to writing.
Johnston wrote historical books and novels that often combined romance with history. Her first book Prisoners of Hope (1898) dealt with colonial times in Virginia as did her second novel To Have and to Hold (1900) and 1904's Sir Mortimer. The Goddess of Reason (1907) uses the theme of the French Revolution and in Lewis Rand (1908), the author portrayed political life at the dawn of the 19th century.
To Have and to Hold was serialized in the The Atlantic Monthly in 1899 and published in 1900 by Houghton Mifflin. The book proved enormously popular and according to the New York Times was the bestselling novel in the United States in 1900. Johnston's next work titled Audrey was the 5th bestselling book in the U.S. in 1902, as was Sir Mortimer in 1904. Beyond her native America, Johnston's novels were also very popular in Canada and in England.
Three of Johnston's books were adapted to film. Audrey was made into a silent film of the same name in 1916 and her blockbuster work To Have and to Hold was made into a silent film in 1918 and again in 1922. Pioneers of the Old South was adapted to film in 1923 under the title Jamestown.
During her long career, in addition to twenty-three novels, Johnston wrote a number of short stories, one drama, and two long narrative poems. She used her fame to advocate women's rights, strongly supporting the women's suffrage movement.
On her passing in 1936, Mary Johnston was interred in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Virginia.
"She will reach the wharf in half an hour."
The speaker shaded her eyes with a great fan of carved ivory and painted silk. They were beautiful eyes; large, brown, perfect in shape and expression, and set in a lovely, imperious, laughing face. The divinity to whom they belonged was clad in a gown of green dimity, flowered with pink roses, and trimmed about the neck and half sleeves with a fall of yellow lace. The gown was made according to the latest Paris mode, as described in a year-old letter from the court of Charles the Second, and its wearer gazed from under her fan towards the waters of the great bay of Chesapeake, in his Majesty's most loyal and well beloved dominion of Virginia.

Saturday's DUI/driver's license checkpoint netted 12 arrests, including six for driving under the influence, according to the Lodi Police Department. The checkpoint was conducted on Cherokee Lane between Vine and Poplar streets.
Of other the arrests made, three were for outstanding warrants and two were apprehended for burglarizing the Kmart moments after the checkpoint opened, police said.

The rules used to establish OSPF router ID on Cisco IOS are well known:
- Take the highest IP address of all loopback interfaces configured on the router when the OSPF process is started.
- If there is no loopback interface, take the highest IP address of an operating interface.
Most of these "wisdoms" are no longer true. For recent releases of Cisco IOS, OSPF router ID is a 32-bit value that has to be unique (that's all that the OSPF RFC ever asked for) and just happens to be taken from an interface address at the time the OSPF process is started. Even more, you can configure it to any value you like with the router-id A.B.C.D router configuration command.
The new behavior, while definitely making your network more stable, can also bring unexpected side effects: if you don't use the router-id command and misconfigure an interface IP address (resulting in duplicate router IDs), correcting the interface IP address will not fix the problem. You also have to reset the OSPF process with the clear ip ospf pid process command.

The Philippines' Bureau of Internal Revenue has published guidelines on the country's new 'Sin Tax' law, which applies progressive increases to the taxation of alcohol and tobacco starting from January 1, 2013.
The legislation imposes new flat taxes on distilled spirits and cigars, as well as new VAT rates for these and for other products. The guidelines explain that alcohol and tobacco products currently in the market will be initially classified according to a 2010 price survey conducted by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), with items introduced since then classified using the suggested retail price as given in a sworn statement by the manufacturer or importer. These prices will be subject to validation by the BIR, followed by revalidation nine months later. An understatement of 15% or more will make the manufacturer or importer liable for additional excise tax equivalent to the tax due and the difference between the understated suggested net retail price and the actual net retail price.
Importers and manufacturers also have to provide other information, including expenses, details of packaging and the names of the regions where a brand is to be marketed. The sworn statement is to be resubmitted before the end of June and December each year, although an importer or manufacturer can submit a revised statement five days or more ahead of any change.
The proper tax classification will be determined every two years, and the guidelines further state that items will be taxed according to brand name, label design, and packaging. Variations, including suffixes or prefixes in brand name or differently coloured labels, will be subject to a separate tax assessment. Further, the downward reclassification of alcoholic drinks is not allowed.
The guidelines further clarify that imported alcohol and tobacco products are subject to excise tax, even when destined for duty-free areas or special economic or freeport zones. Tobacco products produced for export will not be allowed to leave their place of manufacture without the posting of an export bond, and a bond is also required for tobacco products imported in order to be re-exported.

Don't Burn the Trees
Media Release
13 February 2007
Don't Burn the Trees
New Zealand First forestry spokesperson Doug Woolerton is calling for calm in the carbon credit debate and rational discussion rather than rash action.
"Talk of burning trees or bulldozing forests is not helpful. Rather than taking a hard line, all sides should meet and discuss the issue. New Zealand's forests represent a tremendous natural resource and the last thing anyone wants is to damage or destroy that resource. That is not in our nation's best interests," said Mr Woolerton.
"New Zealand First accepts that there are important property rights issues to be resolved, and acknowledges that the ownership of carbon credits is important to the forestry industry. The market for carbon credits is emerging, and it is not in the nation's best interests to take entrenched positions at this early stage," said Mr Woolerton.

For Fat, Head to Mississippi
Aside from being one of the hardest states to spell, Mississippi is also the fattest state. At least according to the folks over at CalorieLab, who calculated the rankings based on the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System database maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Around 33.8 percent of Mississippi's adult population is obese. The thinnest state is Colorado, where only 19.2 percent of the population is obese. Not surprisingly, the biggest pocket of "thin" states is in the Western half of the country. California, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico and Wyoming all had less than 26 percent obesity.

PORT Kembla teenager John Iafolla has always shone on the go-kart track, but it's only in recent years he hasn't solely relied on his natural talent.
The countless hours on the track preparing for upcoming meets paid off big time for the 15-year-old at the 52nd Australian National Sprint Kart Championships in Newcastle on April 18-20.
He was made to work for it in the Junior National Heavy category but the PCR driver charged his way from seventh place on the grid to claim a popular victory ahead of Newcastle driver Ryan Pike.
"The start of the race meeting on Friday and Saturday wasn't the best start but we still set ourselves up for the final," John said.
"Although we were in seventh we thought it was doable from there.
"I just put my head down. I caught the front blokes and once I was in second, first place had skipped further ahead but I caught up to him, passed him and just put my head down and kept going.
"I didn't look back because I thought he was behind me the whole time. When I crossed the line and looked back I'd pulled a cap and I was just so surprised."
John's successful weekend in Newcastle also included a fifth-place result in the Junior National Light category.
The Year 10 student at St Joseph's High School in Albion Park said it was still sinking in that he was a national champion.
"I still can't believe how I did it," John said. "I'm really happy."
The talented driver said a concerted effort from his team to prepare better for meets and ensure he practised more on the track was paying dividends.
"Probably two months before the nationals we decided to give this a real good shot, so we practised every single weekend," John said.
Thankful for the support he has received from PCR owner Tommy Gallo and his father Mario Iafolla, John is now looking to replicate his success at the Lismore Young Guns event on May 3-4.

A Melbourne investor-developer has paid $11.525 million for a six-storey retail and office building in the Melbourne central business district, owned by interests tied to the founders of the
The 1923 art deco-style building on the corner of Bourke Street and Russell Street – a block from Chinatown and the Bourke Street Mall – had been held by
DLN is wholly owned by
The fully-leased freehold building has 1500 square metres of C-grade office space across five levels with four shops on the ground floor on a 345- square metre site. The building has the potential to be redeveloped when it becomes vacant in 2019.
It generates passing net income of $514,510 a year, representing a yield of about 4.5 per cent.
Bourke House was sold by Colliers International's Matthew Stagg and Daniel Wolman after a five-week, expressions-of-interest campaign.
Mr Wolman said the property's prime location and its potential future uses enticed prospective purchasers.
"The large number of enquiries we received came from a balanced mix of international and domestic buyers," Mr Wolman said.
"We are seeing clear signs local investors are stepping up and competing with international buyers for prime, strategically located assets."
Plans to build a hotel on the adjacent, former Great Union site increased the investment value of Bourke House, the agents said.

Churches may submit ministry requests for FMA workers to assist in projects and/or events in your church community (i.e., Backyard Bible Club, Vacation Bible School, survey work, light construction, block parties, multi-housing ministry, etc.) Contact Rebekah Parr at (205) 669-7858 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

About Me
My interests and themes of subjects range from the Golden Age of Hollywood stylings to erotic, exotic themes. My forte and passion is with b&w and sepia formats, but of course colour has its place as well. Being one that draws portraiture, my passion in the contours of the body, body parts such as hands and feet are a deep passion of mine as well. I enjoy insipiring individual interpretation with my work, and am also open to the endless adventure that each subject/model inspires with their own personality and appearance.

Under The Knife
Deadline Puzzle
Somewhere in the haze of eighteen-hour days and double-charges on the phone, my brain began to re-enact the Phaedo, wondering if I was chasing the cause, or merely attempting to assign meaning to random events. The trade deadline works like any puzzle; you have the pieces and they fit together. The thing is, you also have pieces that don't belong in the puzzle, and no box top from which to work. I'll never have the complete picture, but I'm starting to see patterns, getting a couple edges, maybe a corner, but only in retrospect will we all see what fits where.
Even then, I'll never know all of the hundreds of conversations that happened between this GM and that GM, this scout and that scout, that agent and the guy who knows a guy who carpools with the clubbie. I've learned quickly that it's okay to be wrong as long as you learn something.
Powered by South Alabama's new Head Athletic Trainer Jinni Frisbey--yes, I still look back at my time there fondly--on to the injuries:
The Mets are also quietly admitting that Pedro Martinez is not fully healthy. While he's able to throw, the recovery from those sessions is taking longer than expected, necessitating longer-than-normal rest. The Mets should be creative enough to find ways to use Martinez, perhaps even the old "Sunday starter" schedule, but word is that they don't have the confidence in Pedro's being able to go long enough to help them protect their bullpen from overwork. Martinez has one more simulated game before an expected rehab assignment, but don't pay as much attention to the games he'll throw--watch for how he feels subsequently.
Quick Cuts: I'll admit that I'm confused by some of the statements made by Dr. George Paletta in this article. More on this soon. ... Mark Mulder could be on a rehab assignment by this time next week. He's got a couple throwing sessions to get through, but things look good. ... Brett Myers is expected back with the Phillies this weekend after completing his rehab assignment. ... Gotta dig Rotowire's new look. ... Kerry Wood will be tested with back-to-back days of throwing on Thursday and Friday. His rapid comeback has given the Cubs a nice surprise, as they appear to be as stunned as everyone else by the turnaround. ... Juan Castro will need Tommy John surgery, ending the season for the Reds' utility infielder. ... David Ross dislocated his pinky sliding last night, and will miss some time for the Reds. How much will depend on his pain tolerance. ... Hong-Chih Kuo had his elbow 'scoped to remove more chips. He's just not able to hold up under any significant workload.

Irving Leonard Carlson died at GracePointe Crossing West in Cambridge, Minnesota on Monday, August 13, 2012 after a long life of 92 years.
A lifetime resident of Maple Ridge Township, Irving was born to Oscar and Mary (Landin) Carlson on May 23, 1920. Irving attended school at District #44 which was a one mile, across the woods trek from his home.
Irving married Eileen Yvonne Westberg on Oct. 16, 1943 and they made their home in rural Springvale Township before moving to Irving's home place in 1966. They raised two children, Rebecca and Luther. Irving farmed throughout his entire life. After working part-time as a carpet layer, Irving and his brother-in-law Victor Westberg joined forces and started one of the largest dairy herds in Isanti County for that time.
Irving served on the Maple Ridge Township Board for more than 20 years. After his retirement, Irving remained active becoming the farm's parts runner. At this time, he developed his previously untapped talent for wood carving. Horses were his specialty. Irving always wanted a team of his own but his poor legs prevented this so he carved horses instead. Irving was a lifetime member of Salem Lutheran Church of Dalbo where he served in many capacities.
Irving was a widower for 31 years following Eileen's death in 1981. He was also preceded in death by his parents, Oscar and Mary. Irving is survived by his daughter Rebecca (Wayne) Olson of Cambridge and his son Luther (Roxanne) Carlson of Stanchfield; five grandchildren Kelly (Wade) Mikkelson of Montana, Laura (Phil) Hennemann of WI, Angie Olson of St. Paul, Nick (Jessie) Carlson of Stanchfield, and Zachary Carlson of Fargo, N.D.; and eight great grandchildren McKayla, Mable, Katelyn, Ava, Ruth, Riston, Isabella, and Grace. Also surviving are his three sisters Myrtle Dahlin, Loretta Kilpatrick, and Marian Miller all of Minneapolis.
Funeral services will be held at Salem Lutheran Church of Dalbo at noon on Sunday, August 19, 2012 with Reverend William Pearson officiating. Visitation will be held at Carlson~Lillemoen Funeral Home from 4 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 18 and at the church one hour prior to the service. Pallbearers will be his grandchildren. Irving will be carried in a horse drawn hearse to the Salem Lutheran Cemetery. Arrangements are with the Carlson-Lillemoen Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Cambridge.

|Atrial Septal Defect
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Imaging of Atrial Septal Defects by Velocity Encoded Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance
|Study Start Date:
|July 2002
|Study Completion Date:
|July 2004
Background: Atrial septal defect (ASD) flow can be measured indirectly by velocity-encoded cardiovascular magnetic resonance (veCMR) of the pulmonary artery and aorta (Qp/Qs). Imaging the secundum ASD en face could potentially enable direct flow measurement and, additionally, provide valuable information regarding ASD size, shape, location, and proximity to other structures.
Methods: Patients referred for possible transcatheter ASD closure underwent a comprehensive standard evaluation including transesophageal and/or intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), and invasive oximetry. CMR was performed in parallel and included direct en face veCMR after an optimal double-oblique imaging plane was determined accounting for ASD flow direction and cardiac-cycle interatrial septal motion.
We hypothesized that En face veCMR using an optimized imaging plane can accurately determine ASD flow, size, and morphology, and that it would provide information incremental to comprehensive standard evaluation.

|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)

News Wrap: Tea Party Influence Tested in Latest Primaries
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
HARI SREENIVASAN: Seven states and the District of Columbia held primary elections today. Tea Party activists were a major factor on the Republican side. In Delaware, Congressman Mike Castle battled Christine O'Donnell for a U.S. Senate nomination. O'Donnell was backed by former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Among Democrats, Washington, D.C., Mayor Adrian Fenty and veteran Congressman Charles Rangel of New York were in tough races. Rangel faces House ethics charges.
The European Union sharply criticized France today for expelling ethnic Roma migrants. In recent weeks, the French have deported more than 1,000 Roma, also known as gypsies, sending most back to Romania. Authorities also dismantled more than 100 illegal camps. Today, the European justice commissioner called the deportations a disgrace.
VIVIANE REDING, justice commissioner, European Union: I personally have been appalled by a situation which gave the impression that the people are being removed from a member state of the European Union just because they belong to an ethnic minority. This is a situation I had thought Europe wouldn't have to witness again, after the Second World War.
HARI SREENIVASAN: French President Nicolas Sarkozy has defended the deportations. He maintains that Roma camps are havens for prostitution and child exploitation.
For the first time in 15 years, the number of chronically hungry people in the world has fallen. The U.N.'s food and Agriculture Organization reported today the figure is now below one billion. The agency cited falling food prices
and record production of cereals. Food prices peaked in 2007 and 2008, and sparked riots in developing countries.
Wall Street had a relatively quiet day. The Dow Jones industrial average lost more than 17 points to close at 10526. The Nasdaq rose four points to close above 2289.

Daughter will share photo prize with mom
Published 3:56 pm, Thursday, October 3, 2013
Gabriela Couvillion, 47, took a strategic approach to filling in her ballot in the San Antonio Express-News' tourist spot photo contest launched Sept. 22.
The Trinity University employee and mother to two teens did online research to supplement her knowledge of some favorite S.A. places for locals and visitors alike. Her strategy paid off, winning her the free two-night weekend stay at the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel (parking included).
"I love San Antonio. I like to go to new places," she said when notified of her win.
The River Walk, Alamo and Market Square are some of the places she likes to take visitors. She had been to most of the 20 places in our collection of photo hints.
Lifestyle Channel
The San Antonio resident of 30 years said she's never stayed in a downtown hotel, but it didn't take her long to decide what she'll do with the prize. She and her mother have birthdays a week apart, and she had been looking for something special for them to do. She's now planning a fun mother-daughter weekend downtown.
Couvillion was one of 33 people who completed their ballots correctly. Some 47 people turned in a ballot. Thousands cruised through our photos and perhaps remembered that they need to get out more and enjoy what 28 million tourists a year come to S.A. to see and do.

BookSwim is Like Netflix for Books: But Will it Succeed?
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Internet
Netflix is the granddaddy of the rent-by-mail craze, making it tres easy to rent DVDs and video games without stepping off your curb. Now comes BookSwim, with the same paradigm: create a queue of books to read, wait for them to be shipped to you, send them back when done so your next title can be sent out. No shipping or late fees, and keep the books as long as you want. BookSwim claims to have over 150,000 titles, and plans range from $20 USD (3 books at-a-time) to $36 USD (11 books!). We're curious to see if BookSwim takes off, as it faces stiff competition from a little something called the Public Library, which we hear is free. But, if you live far from the library, BookSwim could be worth a shot.

Freak Out Your Friends With Possessed Books
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Household, Misc. Tech
These ancient-looking tomes may look like they are merely gathering dust on your bookshelf, but once someone walks by them, the middle one slides out towards its victim and emits eerie sounds. Lifelike at a size of 8 x 8 x 6.5-inches, you can scare your buds with these Possessed Books for $24.95. We wanted to know why they decided to include two copies of Silas Marner, but since we remember it being required reading in school, we figure that no one will mess with either of them before the gadget is triggered.

Squished Animal Holders Feature Domestic Road Kill
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Movies, Music
So your CDs and DVDs just keep piling up in the corner and you still are housing them in the nearest empty cardboard box. We suggest these Squished Animal Holders as a replacement. Available in cow, pig, or chicken, the two ends resemble wheel tighteners, while the animal in the middle looks like it is becoming road kill. Made of poly resin, each 3-piece set measures 6 x 8.3 x 8-inches and carries an MSRP of $39.95. We know they don't do much, but they are certainly one of our more amusing finds.

Google Book Search Allows You To Download Novels
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Google, Internet
Is there no end to Googlemania? Google Book Search service allows free downloading and printing of classic novels, as well as many obscure books that are in public domain. You can download them to PDF for reading at your leisure, or print them for instantaneous gratification. Formerly, this service only allowed access to out-of copy books online.
Book Search is part of Google's Books Library Project, which digitizes books from major libraries and is partnered with the University of Michigan, Harvard University, Stanford University, Oxford University, the University of California and the New York Public Library. Way to go Google! Even we will use this service and think that the keyword generated text ads we have to put up with are worth the price (or in this case, "non-price").

text: Thanks to IAB Brasil I found a video of Seth Godin key note presentation on MIXX 2010 Conference held last week in New York. The sound quility is not the best but for the fans of the modern marketing guru this video is something very precious and new…The job of CMO today, should stand for "chief movement officer" and not chief marketing officer. In short: don't market — inspire, lead, tap into your brand's passions and you'll tap into consumers' passions and build a small and committed following that will scale through word-of-mouth, Seth Godin said.
