comfy dress up: yoda costume
My kids started their Star Wars obsession at a young age. One of Ruby's very favorite books to read at bedtime is "Star Wars: A Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy." For the last several months, Ruby has been telling anyone who will listen that she is going to be Yoda for trick or treat.
Between her perfect little size and funny little voice, she is going to make a practically perfect Yoda.
The costume consists of four easy to wear pieces: a knit shirt and pant, cozy robe, and a yoda hat.
Robe: Go To Pattern's Signature Dress pattern, with hood and maxi length options. I belled out the sleeves to get a looser cut, and cut the front robe pieces, cut the two front pattern pieces separately (not on the fold), adding about an inch and a half to the edge for hemming and a looser fit. For the fabric, I bought a cheap minky throw blanket from Ross ($6.99) and used the hemmed edges whenever possible.
Top: Oliver + S Hopscotch top (I think this pattern is now out of print) in a brown jersey knit. I used fold-over-elastic to bind the neck and sleeves, and added a little cuff to the sleeves.
Pants: Big Butt Baby Pants in the same brown jersey knit, purchased at fabric.com. I really like the Laguna Stretch Cotton Jersey. It is a cotton/lycra blend with a nice weight, lots of stretch, and comes in many colors. It was nice to work with).
Yoda Hat: Cozy Winter Hood pattern from the book, Oliver + S, Little Things to Sew. I drafted my own ear and had to hand stitch them on since they are off to the side of the head instead of in the top seams. I wish I had folded the tops of the ears over a little to make them more Yoda-like, but I think the idea gets across. The outside is a minky fleece and I used a satin stitch to make yoda's head wrinkles.
The force is strong with this one.

First of all, she is adorable.
Second... I am jealous. My dream is to have my daughter (5) be Leia, my oldest son (3) be Luke and my baby (13 mos) be a waddling Yoda. However, my daughter has her own ideas and I just don't feel right squashing them. My baby just isn't in the mood to walk yet, so he will be carried, leaving my 3-y-o on his own. I learned 2 years ago when we had a Snow White and Dwarf theme that if one half of the duo takes off (Snow White), the poor guy left behind is mistaken for Friar Tuck (really, people??). I can see Luke being mistaken for a karate guy, which is fine... but I am kinda hoping for Batman and Robin. Batman can stand alone well.

Douglas Rushkoff is organizing a one-day conference on October 20, 2011 in New York City called ContactCon to explore how to unlink social media from the corporations that provide, and increasingly, are positioning themselves to control it. I see this as an opportunity to explore the role that language plays in this and whether there is a role for Esperanto. Here is my first attempt to initiative a discussion around the topic: Beyond English: Language in a multipolar world.
In Nicholas Ostler's recent book English, the Last Lingua Franca, he observes that, while English is being learned more-and-more frequently as a second language, it is not replacing native languages. This means that each new generation will still grow up speaking one language, and needs to choose what other languages to learn. Currently, there is a huge economic imperative to learn English. In an increasingly multi-polar world, however, it may make more sense for people to choose other languages than English, such as Portuguese (to trade with Brazil) or Chinese (for trade with China).
Ostler argues that machine translation will obviate the need for a lingua franca and that English will decline and will not be replaced. This seems like an overly optimistic appraisal of machine translation to me. People have been believing that machine translation (like artificial intelligence) is just around the corner for a long time, but it doesn't look much closer now than it did 20 years ago. There is much greater accessibility to crude translators, but not something that could substitute seamlessly for a human being.
I wrote an essay recently for Libera Folio which you can read in English translation here: http://esperanto-usa.org/eo/node/2135
As an Esperanto speaker, I'm sensitive to the disrepute in which it stands for many people -- especially in the United States. But I question whether a world in which mastery of English is necessary for the apprehension of global culture could ever lead to social justice. The global elite speaks English, but most of the world never will. Do we accept that? Do we put our faith in the magic of technology? I'm interested in exploring these questions in an open-ended way via Contactcon.
I encourage other Esperanto speakers to sign up and attend the conference.
machine translation
I am not sure how language plays a role in the discussion at contactCon. I will be interested to hear your report on the conference. (Unfortunately, I can't justify a trip from California to NYC for a one-day conference).
I agree that machine translation is not the panacea for international communication that many people expect it to be.
Even if we all (including the poorest people in third-world countries) had and used communicators like the one by Captain Kirk in Star Trek, the result could not duplicate the feeling of community and understanding that we see every time a dozen esperantists from various countries sit around the dinner table and share stories, jokes, and ideas.

Why are you sucking up to
Why are you sucking up to these people? Anyone who knows Esperanto is light-years ahead of anyone who doesn't in regard to "social evolution".
We need to stop letting other people define our venues for us. An ounce of Esperanto cultivated in your normal life or career is worth a ton of flash-in-the-pan publicity attained in such special venues.

Why are you so contemptuous of everyone who doesn't know Esperanto? (That sounds like a great way to turn people off of Esperanto, by the way - tell them you're way more socially evolved than they are because you know Esperanto and they don't, and that the only way for them to reach your level of social evolution is to learn Esperanto.)
I'm going to go out on a limb and say there are some people more "socially evolved" than many Esperantists, and I'm sure you can think of some too.
Speaking a particular language does not give one a monopoly on social evolution.

Wild Thing, you make our hearts sing
Can you imagine calling this guy by any other name? Hey, Charles! Chuckie, my man! Yo, Chick-ster!
No, that's Charlie Sheen -- and Charlie only, thank you. (Nevermind that he was born Carlos Irwin Estévez, of course.)
And Mr. C. Sheen turns 43 years old today. Seems like only yesterday he was divorcing Hollywood starlets while remarrying the next future ex-Mrs. Sheen. (Oh, wait, that was yesterday.)
It's hard to believe that out of the Martin Sheen/Emilio Estevez/Charlie Sheen family troika, it'd be Charlie who'd make the biggest mark in the '80s. (Well, once you throw the movie "Lucas" out of the equation!)
Happy birthday, Wild Thing. Here's wishing you a nice 365 days spent hopefully far away from family affairs court.
TOP 5 CHARLIE SHEEN ROLES OF THE 80s:
5. RED DAWN (1984): "You're getting pretty low on feelings, aren't you?"
4. WALL STREET (1987): "Blue Horse Shoe loves Anacot Steel."
3. PLATOON (1986): "Have you ever gotten into a mistake that you just can't get out of?"
2. FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF (1986): "You wear too much eye makeup. My sister wears too much. People think she's a whore."
1. MAJOR LEAGUE (1989): "You put snot on the ball?"

Hi Everyone,
I have two Windows 2008 R2 servers. Both have RDWeb and RDSH installed. Both have RemoteApps. However, only one has a public SSL certificate. I want the applications to load from one RDWeb and behave like they were installed on one server so that I can use
the same directory structure and same useranme/passwords.
What do I need for this? I would rather stay away from session broker. Below is the problem I am facing using pictures. It's the two different IPs that I am seeing:
Thanks for your post.
You may purchase one SAN certificate or wildcard certificate from the public issuer. In order to get rid if this warning message, please refer to the following blog. Hope it helps.
"Unknown Publisher"? Where did this dialog box come from?

1- I have a 2nd certificate that is not a SAN certificate. Can I use that? Or would that be a problem still because we are browsing to another site?
2- Would two separate certificates work fine if the users were only using RemoteApp .rdp shortcuts instead of RDWeb?
3- Is there any way to not get asked for Username/Password again without a publicly issued Certificate? Right now I am getting asked for Username/Password again because SSL certificate is not public. I have another server with SSL certificate and that
doesn't ask username/password again.

Hyderabad: Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir warned that the show off and insane borrowing of loans by TRS Government would hurt the interest of Telangana State.
Initiating the debate on State Budget for 2016-17 in Telangana Legislative Council on Wednesday, Shabbir Ali accused the TRS Government of being unrealistic in dealing with State's finance. He said as against the budget of Rs. 1 lakh crore for 2014-15, only Rs. 62,000 Cr were spent. Similarly, Finance Minister Eatala Rajender presented a budget of Rs. 115,689 Cr for 2015-16. After one year, he himself admitted that the estimations were unrealistic and they have been revised to Rs. 100,062 Cr. Consequently, almost 14% of the budget was reduced. Plan allocations for many departments were cut off and about Rs. 6,255.14 Cr allocated for Social Services were cut.
"Why are you so obsessed with flashy figures like Rs. 1 Lakh Cr. Your tall claims of Telangana being the richest State in India has only caused damage," he said.
Shabbir Ali also disputed the projections of Telangana achieving growth rate of 11.7%. He said that the figure was based only on advance estimates and not actuals. He said economic experts have projected this figure to be just 6-7% and the projection of 8.6% national growth too is being intensely debated by experts. He advised the State Government to adopt a realistic approach while addressing financial matters.
The Congress leader strongly criticised TRS Government's decision to borrow huge loans for Mission Bhagiratha, 2BHK Housing and also for establishing power plants. He said borrowing of Rs. 40,000 Cr for Mission Bhagiratha and Rs. 15,000 Cr for 2BHK Housing in a single year would violate the FRBM norms as both are non-revenue generating projects and there are no returns on capital amount. He said after the moratorium period of two years, the Telangana State would be forced to spend Rs. 7,000 Cr annually on interest and re-payments of these loans.
Further, State Government is arranging loans of nearly Rs. 91,000 crore for different power projects. Instead, he said the government should concentrate on getting 4000 MW NTPC power plants approved by the Centre under AP Reorganisation Act. Further, he said the cost of power production in plants being launched by the State Government would be too high due to use of imported coal as fuel. While it would cost Rs. 5 per unit for these plants, the Centrally-sponsored plants would cost only Rs. 2 unit per unit.
H said that the Congress party was not against Mission Bhagarita, 2BHK housing or power projects. But State Government should give a clear-cut picture on its plans on their repayment. "Whether you will seek Grand-in-Aids from Central Government or increase taxes to pay interest and repay these loans?" he asked.
habbir Ali alleged that the State Government has completely neglected the agriculture sector. He expressed concern over reduction in net irrigated area by huge proportion. The area under food grains has come down from 26.13 Lakh Ha in 2014-15 to 20.46 Lakh Ha in 2015-16. As against the overall production of food grains including cereals, millets and pulses of 72.20 Lakh Ha in 2014-15, it has come down to 49.35 lakh hectares in 2015-16. The production of rice has come down by 34%, Maize by 30%, Cereals & millets by 33% and pulses by 5%. This Rabi season is likely to be even worse due to decrease in cultivation area by almost 49% with 5.32 Lakh Ha as against normal area of 10.08 Lakh Ha, he said.
e demanded that the State Government take immediate measures to address the deteriorating situation as nearly 70% of State's population depend on agriculture. He said hundreds of farmers committed suicide and their families did not get required help. In 2014-15, State Government did not declare drought hit mandals. In 2015-16, 231 mandals were declared drought hit. As against the relief of Rs. 2,515 Crore sought by the Telangana Government, Centre provided only Rs. 791 Crore. "How do propose to fill this gap? No provision has been made in this year's budget to help the drought-affected farmers," he said while insisting that the government clear off all pending dues of crop loan waiver scheme in single take this year.
e also demanded revival of Nizam Sugar Factory and other sick units in the State. Further, he said that the NRI Cell should be strengthened to impart skills among children of farmers who visit Gulf countries on various jobs.
habbir Ali also criticised the TRS Government for burdening the common people with a power tariff hike of Rs. 2,000 Cr and another Rs. 3,000 Cr towards Fuel Surcharge Adjustment.
he Congress leader said not a single head under welfare sector, including SC, ST, BC or Minorities, registered 100% spending during the last two years. He said it was meaningless to allocate huge funds and do not spend them.
peaking about minorities welfare, Shabbir Ali said not even 50% of budget allocated for Minorities Welfare was utilised during the last two years. Despite giving an assurance in the House that the unutilised budget would be carry forward, Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao allowed the funds to lapse in 2014-15. Similarly, Deputy CM Mohammed Mahmood Ali assured that Rs. 350 crore would be allocated additionally for construction of 70 English Medium Minorities Residential Schools. However, those funds too were included in the regular Plan for minorities welfare this year.
habbir Ali said while replying to Motion of Thanks on Governor's Address in Legislative Council, the Chief Minister has given a road map to provide 12% Muslim reservation. However, he said that the government showed no seriousness in defending the case of 4% Muslim reservation in Supreme Court. He strongly objected to the non-presence of any representative of Telangana Government in the Supreme Court when the matter came up for hearing on February 29.
e also slammed the State Government for ignoring the health sector. He said last year only 11% of the allocated budget was spent on the sector while almost all public hospitals in the State are suffering from shortage of doctors, medicines and equipment. He also asked government to clarify the status of Osmania General Hospital and Chest Hospital. He said as per MCI norms, about 13 PG seats would be lost if OGH is shifted.
habbir Ali questioned the State Government's authority to change laws through GOs. "Telangana is the 29th State of India and not a separate country. Only Parliament and Legislature are empowered to enact and amend laws. Telangana Government was reprimanded by courts on more than 10 occasions for its attempts to change the laws through GOs," he said. He also pointed out that earlier ministers used to be very careful while making speeches in the House. However, under TRS Rule, ministers appear to have absolutely no fear or respect for Legislature and they are making false and misleading statements.
While hoping that the State Government spends entire Rs. 1.30 lakh crore of the allocated budget, he feared that this time too, the budget would prove to be non-realistic and the government would not be able to spend more than Rs. 1.05 lakh crore. Therefore, he said that the Congress party rejects the budget for being unrealistic. (NSS)

All the nations have come together in New York City. It blows my mind how God has brought people groups in just one city, and not only that, God has brought them together in their own communities and neighborhoods.
Brenda Sanders, my Go Now Missions supervisor, recently came to New York City. I was so happy to see her and spend time with her. I am so thankful for her passion to send college students to make disciples of all nations.She attended our Get Connected event at Metropolitan New York Baptist Association, where she learned about different ministries at the association, as well as our new summer internship program, MultiplyNYC.
Brenda and I—along with a group from First Baptist Church in Houston—took a Vision Tour and visited the ministries that take place in the borough of Queens.
First, we went to Flushing, an Asian neighborhood. There, we talked to a church planter and learned about his ministry—and also drank some bubble tea.
Two subway stops after Flushing, we visited Corona. In this neighborhood, you will find people from Mexico, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador and El Salvador. We visited Pastor Juan Carlos Suero, who told us about his ministry. He has planted a Quichua church in Corona.
After Corona, we stopped at Jackson Heights, also known as Little India. We heard from one of our church planters, Boto Joseph, as he shared with us the needs in his neighborhood. As he gave us a tour, we went inside one of the Indian stores. There, Boto explained to us a little about the Hindu religion—what they believe and how Hinduism and yoga go hand-in-hand.
I got to try Indian food for the very first time in my life and I loved it! We also had real chai tea, which is very different from Starbucks chai.
I am captivated at how God works and brings people closer to the gospel.

Dozens Gather in Haifa to Pay Tribute to Murdered Israeli Actor Juliano Mer-Khamis
Palestinian protesters in Ramallah call on Abbas to bring perpetrators to justice, a promise he made following the murder last year of the Israeli actor, director and activist.
Dozens of artists, actors and theater professionals held a memorial event on Wednesday to mark one year since the murder of Juliano Mer-Khamis. At the memorial, held at the Al-Midan Theater in Haifa, were artistic performances that included excerpts from Mer-Khamis' works and part of a screenplay that he wrote before his death.
On April 4 last year, the well-known Israeli actor, director and political activist was gunned down in the West Bank town of Jenin, where he ran a drama school and community theater. Mer-Khamis was killed in his car just meters from The Freedom Theater that he had founded.
On Wednesday, a group of children from Jenin - who take part in The Freedom Theater's activities – were invited to the event in Haifa, but were unable to attend. According to the event's organizers, the children were denied entry into Israel by the Israel Defense Forces and security establishment.
Today, one year after Mer-Khamis' murder, the case has not yet been solved. Abir Bakar, the attorney who has been representing and accompanying Mer-Khamis' family for the past year, told Haaretz on Wednesday that in recent meetings with police, he understood that, at this stage, there is no progress in investigations, but that according to Israeli investigators, Palestinian police are cooperating. Evidence that has been collected thus far is insufficient to lay the ground for arrests. "We know that the means are in Israel's hands and the intelligence is in the hands of the Palestinian Authority's security establishment, and therefore, without cooperation it is impossible to uncover the truth," said Bakar.
Wednesday afternoon, dozens of Palestinian artists and actors protested outside the Mukataa in Ramallah, calling for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to fulfill on the promise he made immediately following Mer-Khamis' murder, that he would bring the perpetrators to justice.
Artistic Director and Drama Instructor Nabeel Al-Raee, who replaced Mer-Khamis in the management of the theater in Jenin, told Haaretz on Wednesday that the murderer or murderers may have succeeded in killing the man, but not the mission, and that the theater is continuing to operate. However, he added, "That wound cannot be left to bleed forever, and we believe that the Palestinian Authority and security establishment could do more in order to arrest the suspects."
A few suspects were arrested immediately after Mer-Khamis' murder, but were later released after no evidence was found linking them to the act.

Hammond's Candies Factory Tour in Denver, CO
Ever wonder how candy canes or other hard candies get their stripes? At Hammond's, you'll see how hard candy has been made by hand since the 1920s. First, step into the packing room, where workers pack lollipops or candy canes. Next, through a wall of windows in the kitchen, you'll see large copper kettles. Inside, 50 pounds of sugar, water, and corn syrup heats to over 300°F. Two men lift and carry a huge kettle and pour the bubbling, amber-colored liquid onto a metal table. Next you may see the candy maker adding different colors to areas of this sheet of candy: for a candy cane, he scoops out some red paste with a spatula and mixes it into one section, then adds green in another corner. Another section remains clear. Finally, the "scrap"—the crushed beginnings and ends of other candy—is melted into another section: this will become the candy canes' center. Read more...

Staying physically active improves quality of life for women undergoing breast cancer treatment.
(June 21, 2012) — University of Miami study shows that women with non-metastatic breast cancer who are physically active and receive stress management intervention during treatment may reduce depression and lessen fatigue.
Women undergoing treatment for breast cancer might fight off distressing side effects and improve psychological well-being by staying off the couch. According to the University of Miami (UM) study, women who are physically active during treatment have less depression and an enhanced quality of life and report less debilitating fatigue.
"Women who are physically active may also have more confidence in their own ability to continue with family-related, household, work-related, or social activities, which bring meaning and satisfaction to their lives ," says Jamie M. Stagl, M.S., doctoral student in Clinical Health Psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences at UM and lead author of the study. "This may lead to appraisals of lower fatigue, heightened quality of life, and less depression."
UM researchers studied the reported physical activity of 240 women recently diagnosed with non-metastatic breast cancer and recruited from four to 10 weeks post-surgery. Participants attended a 10-week, group-based Cognitive Behavioral Stress Management (CBSM) intervention, or a one-day psychoeducation "self-help" comparison group. In addition, researchers monitored the women's reported physical activity levels.
While these researchers have previously shown that stress management improves breast cancer treatment, the current study reveals that there are additional benefits for women who are also physically active through treatment.
"Women who increased the amount of time they spent being physically active between the weeks after surgery and their adjuvant therapy had less 'fatigue disruption' -- their fatigue did not disrupt their ability to perform everyday activities," Stagl says. "They also showed a decrease in depressed mood and an increase in quality of life."
The study, titled "Physical Activity Adds to the Effects of Stress Management Intervention on Fatigue Interference, Depression, and Functional Quality of Life During Treatment for Breast Cancer," was funded by the National Cancer Institute.
Co-authors are Michael H. Antoni, PhD., primary investigator of the study, and professor of Psychology in the UM College of Arts and Sciences, and professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and program leader of Biobehavioral Oncology at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the UM Miller School of Medicine; Suzanne Lechner, Ph.D., research assistant professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and member of the Biobehavioral Oncology program at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, John E. Lewis, Ph.D., associate professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Director of Research for Complementary and Integrative Medicine; Sara Vargas., M.S. doctoral student in the Behavioral Medicine program at UM, Stefan Gluck, M.D., medical oncologist and professor of Medicine, and Clinical Director of the Braman Family Breast Cancer Institute at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer; Charles Carver, professor and director of the adult psychology program in the Department of Psychology and member of the Biobehavioral Oncology program at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.

BOSTON The Indiana Pacers have been a much-improved team since they replaced Jim O'Brien with then-Pacers assistant Frank Vogel.
Vogel, a former video coordinator for the Celtics, said shortly after getting the job how he wanted to his team to play similar to the Celtics -- minus the slew of Hall of Fame players, of course.
"I don't ever know what style we are," said Celtics coach Doc Rivers. "I just know there's a way you should play, and I believe that. When we do that, I think we are pretty good."
Rivers added, "all we're doing is emulating what the past, the older Celtics, used to do. We're just trying to play that way."
In other Celtics news, Rivers said Shaquille O'Neal participated in the team's shoot-around prior to Wednesday's game.
"Shaq shot today and felt pretty good," Rivers said. "I don't know what the time frame is (for his return). The fact that he's on the floor means sooner than later, I hope."
O'Neal has appeared in 36 games this season, and is averaging 9.3 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.

Balingup is a town in the South West of Western Australia, south of the state capital, Perth, and southeast of the town of Donnybrook.
The town takes its name from Balingup Pool, located on the Balingup Brook which flows through the town. The name was first recorded by a surveyor in 1850, and is said to be derived from the name of Noongar warrior, Balingan.
The town is on the South Western Highway. It originally had a station on the railway line, opened in 1898, the same year the town was gazetted.
Balingup was known in the twentieth century for fruit and vegetable growing, and more recently for beef cattle and dairy farming. There are two long-established religious communities.
Balingup hosts annual rural festivals, primarily the Small Farm Field Day (late April) and Medieval Carnivale (August).
Nearby are found mushroom varieties of interest to both drug users and law enforcement agencies.
Balingup is also one of the few towns through which the Bibbulmun Track passes. Balingup is also the home of local artist Sally Darling, who specialises in portraits and Japanese paintings. The historic Southampton homestead is nearby.
A bushfire swept through the area in 2013 reducing the Southampton homestead to ruins.

NEW YORK (Jan. 5)
Funeral services will be held Tuesday at Woodstock College, a Jesuit seminary in Maryland, for the Rev. Dr. Gustave Weigel, a world-famous Catholic theologian who was known for his advocacy of the plan for adoption by the Ecumenical Council of a statement absolving Jews of blame for the Crucifixion of Jesus and calling for better relations between the Catholic Church and the Jewish people. Father Weigel died here this weekend, aged 57.
Dr. Weigel was an adviser to the Vatican's Secretariat for the Promotion of Christian Unity, headed by Augustin Cardinal Bea. During the last session of the Ecumenical Council, he acted as one of the priests who reported to the world press about the debates inside the closed sessions of the Council.
Last July, it was Father Weigel who revealed, at the annual meeting of the National Community Relations Advisory Council, in Atlantic City, that the first session of the Ecumecial. Council had shunted aside a proposed statement condemning anti-Semitism because there were fears that such a statement might be interpreted by Arab states as a pro-Israel attitude.

Nick Rimando
Rimando was big as usual with excellent positioning and three saves in the match. His save in the 24th minute was huge and should be a nominee, if not the winner, for MLS Save of the Week. Grade: A+
Tony Beltran
The right back made deep runs into the FCD defense and made a number of excellent crosses, the only problem was that there was no one on the other end to make them count. He played a solid 90 minutes in competing with the size of Brek Shea or the the speed of Marvin Chavez. Grade: B
Jamison Olave
The center back did well containing his fellow Colombian Fabian Castillo. Olave kept the teen sensation out of the box all night and kept his one attempt well off the mark. His defending was sloppy at times with three fouls, and one of his challenges could have given Dallas a penalty late in the contest. Grade: C
Nat Borchers
Borchers had another excellent game and earned a well-deserved 'A'. He snuffed out danger from the area all night and helped keep RSL's goals against total to a league-low to two in MLS play. Grade: A
Chris Wingert
The left back wasn't too involved in the game as FCD put most of its attacks down his opposite side. He and Borchers had excellent distribution from the back, but was a little out of position when George John nearly scored in the 24th minute. Grade: B
Ned Grabavoy
Grabavoy paired well on top of Beltran on the right side. With Beltran pushing up most of the match Grabavoy was able to squeeze into the middle more than usual where he looked a little uncomfortable at times. Grade: C
Andy Williams
Williams was solid all night and consistently pushed the ball forward throughout the match. He helped RSL dominate possession all night, but the only problem was that only four shots came from controlling nearly 63 percent of the possession. Grade: B+
Kyle Beckerman
It's not going to be on any score sheet, but the RSL captain didn't give away the ball all night, which was part of the reason that RSL had 79 percent passing accuracy on the game. He also managed one of the two shots on frame that RSL in the game. Grade: A
Will Johnson
Johnson showed his range from distance by testing the FCD keeper early in the match with what was arguably RSL's best scoring chance all night. He was a little suspect defensively a few times, but he more than made up for it with his work rate. Grade: B
Alvaro Saborio
Sabo scored while clearly in an offsides position for the second consecutive match. While he is starting to find the frame it is his positioning that is giving problems up top. Sabo is still desperately seeking his first goal in MLS play, and needs to find it soon to bring his swagger back. Grade: D
Arturo Alvarez
The stat line that is most telling for RSL's score line this match was that both men up top failed to not only shoot on goal, they also failed get any shots off at all as well. For a striker, that's as bad as it comes. Grade: D
Collen Warner
His fresh legs gave Real a slight surge of energy late in the second half, but sadly it didn't create anymore offense for the visitors. The young midfielder has work left to do to earn his spot in the starting 11. Grade: C
Jean Alexandre
He came on just before the nearly two-hour rain delay and wasn't on long enough to give him a fair grade. Grade: I
Overall Team
As a team RSL dominated possession and defensively it kept FCD's potent offense off the score sheet for only the third time this season. A point on the road against a top team in the West can only be looked at as a positive result, but the Claret and Cobalt's offensive issues continued with a season-low two shots on goal from four shots. Fabian Espindola and Paulo Jr's recovery seems more important than ever. Grade: B-

"Ideally we would put another $20 million to $30 million to work in this sector in China," said the fund's managing director, Andrew Jones.
Challenger's investment spans the Shandong, Zhejiang and Fujian regions and includes supply and waste-water facilities.
If the fund opted to spend more in China, it would be likely to invest in building new water plants, but it would also consider more acquisitions if it saw good opportunities, Mr Jones said.
The $278 million Challenger fund, which has $50 million in investments from both Challenger and Mitsui & Co, as well as other investors, has acquired the stakes through buying 40 per cent of a venture owned by Malaysian water engineering company Salcon Berhad. Three of the six assets also have Chinese provincial government partners.
The fund aimed for a return of about 15 per cent from its assets, and expected to achieve this from the Chinese assets "without too much trouble", Mr Jones said.
The fund and Salcon have agreed to look at an initial public offering of the business on the Hong Kong stockmarket in two to three years, depending on the market.
The holding structure of the venture has been set up through Hong Kong with this option in mind. "That is one of our exit assumptions," Mr Jones said.
The Salcon deal follows eight months of talks and is the fund's third attempt to buy Chinese assets. It rejected two deals because the assets did not offer sufficient return.
The Chinese government has welcomed foreign investment in water assets, recognising that water will cost more and will need to be of better quality.
"They have very, very low water usage per capita and they also have some of the cheapest water prices in the world," Mr Jones said.
Foreign players offer China the opportunity for technology transfer.
The government had an attractive regulatory regime, which had been a key factor in luring foreign companies, Mr Jones said.
Another key attraction was the degree of leverage in the businesses, which had a gearing ratio of about 35 per cent, and what the fund saw as minimal refinancing risk.
The fund already has two gas pipelines in Chile.

He's stolen a shipment of anagathics* from Ur Voys — The Empire of the Radiant Throne's most secure facility — and smuggled it out under the very noses of The Radiant Throne's Swords.

The Alliance of Free Worlds has heard of his little adventure, and as it happens, they also want to steal something from The Radiant Throne — something that is currently stashed in Ur Voys.

- Asteroid Thicket: Surrounds Tyrelos Station. It's a lot sparser than most examples of this trope, and justified by being the remains of a recently (in astronomic terms) destroyed moon, but still there.
- Bad-Guy Bar: Dyorbid's. Which leads to...
- Bar Brawl: Some time in the past, some cyborg slavers tried to kidnap Grif's nephew. Grif objected, rather strenuously, causing some damage to their ship. They catch up to Grif in the above Bad-Guy Bar, and, well...
- The Battlestar: "Battlecarrier" class ships.
- The Caper: The main plot of the story.
- Casual Danger Dialog: Shows up every now and then.
- Church Militant: The Empire of the Radiant Throne is solidly theocratic, and completely authoritarian.
- Cool Starship: Grif's ship, the Fool's Errand.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: The Mutiny mentioned below is an example. Final score: Grif and crew eleven, Velis and squad zero.
- Cyborg: The above-mentioned slavers.
- Deadpan Snarker: Grif Vindh."Hello Morgan," Velis said. "You look well."
"Velis," Morgan said. That was all he could manage; he abruptly turned in his seat and devoted his attention to his station.
"This is going to be the best trip ever," Grif muttered.
- Deflector Shields: Part and parcel for the setting. Unusually for this trope, they're described as blocking all energy, including visible light and sensors, in both directions. Fortunately, there are systems that automate the process of dropping a single segment of the shield, firing through it, and bringing it back up. Also, a big part of space combat is deciding, moment to moment, which shield segments to have down (for visibility), which to have up (for protection), and which to "pulse" on and off (for a little of both).
- Embarrassing Old Photo: Grif finds some of Doma doing something on Grenaris.
- The Empire: The Empire of the Radiant Throne.
- Even Evil Has Standards: When The Viceroy wants to destroy every Maximilian class ship on Varkav, because they believe one of them is the Fool's Errand, Mavis talks him out of it.
- The Federation: Despite its name, The Alliance of Free Worlds is closer to being The Federation than being The Alliance.
- Fell Off the Back of a Truck: The anagathics Grif "stole" from Ur Voys literally fell off the back of a truck. Of course, this truck was in the process of crashing and bursting into flames, so it makes sense that stuff would be falling off of it.
- Future Imperfect: Most of the people who grew up on Earth like to claim that Earth is the original homeworld of humanity, but nobody takes them seriously.
- Grievous Bottley Harm: A more realistic example than most. The bottle doesn't break, despite being swung with a human's full strength. It also does some serious damage to the target.
- Grievous Harm with a Body: Each of Ktk's three tails are strong enough to pick up a full-grown human. That's right — Ktk can triple wield people.
- Hero of Another Story: There's some kind of coup in progress against Baron Minerva Tyrelos. Whoever is responsible gets nervous about the fact that Grif has figured out about Baron Tylaris' assassination, so they try to have Grif handed over to The Throne. We never find out who's behind it, what their ultimate plan is, or whether the Baron's plan to have her brother publicly take the blame ever worked.
- I Know You're Watching Me: The Viceroy manages to pull this on the heroes, who are using his own security cameras to spy on him.
- I Need a Freaking Drink: Grif, routinely.
- Infraction Distraction: Grif sacrifices their cargo of fine Varkavian whiskey to keep Mavis from looking closer, and maybe finding the anagathics. Of course, since none of the crew know about the anagathics, they all think he's gone crazy for doing this, until the big reveal.
- In Which a Trope Is Described: Every chapter.
- Is This Thing Still On?: Doma, the communications technician (and Grif's nephew), manages to accidentally broadcast the crew's impromptu strategy session to the ship they were running from at the time.
- "It" Is Dehumanizing: Ktk, the titular "bug," insists that everyone call it "it," because that's just the logical thing to call a hermaphrodite.
- Just Like Us: The Alliance covert infiltration team gets a dose of this during the mission. It's also heavily implied that they've infiltrated the Radiant Throne before, so they really should have already known.
- MacGuffin: The artifact.
- Mad Libs Catchphrase: Grif likes to take a word or phrase he just said, and... "clarify" it by adding "and by X, I mean Y," where "Y" is a short rant that includes "X."Grif: Pure evil ... molded into the form of my dear sister. And by "dear" I mean "dear God, run away!"
- Mars Needs Women: Discussed in Chapter 15."It's about time Dyorbid actually hired an attractive waitress," Morgan said. Grif laughed.
"Well, hold on," Grif said, "let's be fair. The Murdec who worked here a few months back was very attractive... to other Murdecs."
- Miles Gloriosus: Grif may have exaggerated the story of his break-in to Ur Voys a little bit.
- The Mutiny: Velis Enge organizes one against Grif. It... doesn't go so well for her and her team.
- Name's the Same: Very nearly, the Tylaris and Tyrelos Baronies. The fact that they are the richest and poorest (respectively) of the baronies is commented on in-universe.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: The Viceroy. That's not a title, that's his legal name, which he chose himself upon becoming a Sword.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: A little one, during the escape from the hospital on Tyrelos Station."Well I can't hold these guys off much longer." Grif tried to peer over the lip of the stairwell without exposing himself. "Sooner or later they'll realize it's just one pistol..."
From below someone shouted "It's just one pistol!"
"Damn it all to hell," Grif muttered.
Amys rolled her eyes. "Nice work."
- The Nicknamer: Ggrlsha have a tradition of nicknaming everyone they know. It's supposed to be an attempt to know the essence of another's soul.
- No Biochemical Barriers: It's specifically mentioned that, while every known race can get drunk, the intoxicating substance varies from species to species. So, when you're getting drunk with other species, you need to be careful not to grab a bottle of something lethal to you. Carumjack is specifically mentioned as a popular beverage that's toxic to humans, but Morgan can't get enough of the stuff, so they're either drastically overselling its lethality or Morgan's built up a tolerance.
- No Gravity for You:
- Part of the standard procedure for repelling boarders aboard the Fool's Errand is to turn the gravity on and off according to a prearranged schedule. Since any boarders wouldn't know the schedule, they would be unprepared for the sudden shifts in gravity. In addition, individual crew can have the bridge change the gravity in their specific section as an additional weapon.
- Because the Fool's Errand uses older gravity technology, they can't have the artificial gravity on while they're in tach. Well, technically they can, but it would be dangerous to do so.
- Noodle Incident: Just what happened between Grif and Velis on Kinnar?
- Oh, Crap!: "Holy hell, that's a Battlecarrier!"
- One Nation Under Copyright: According to the Foldspace Guide, the Free Trade Baronies started off as this. With the passage of time, they've evolved into standard governments, but most still have some of the trappings of their corporate past. For instance, most have powerful "executives" that that can, if need be, vote the baron out of office.
- Overt Rendezvous: Getting Meaghan Sythe out of Ur Voys requires a meeting in a bar. Unfortunately, someone remembers seeing her there, which allows Mavis' agents to connect the break in with the Fool's Errand, and sets up the climactic battle.
- Pants-Positive Safety: As Grif is breaking out of the aforementioned hospital, he has to steal some clothes and a pistol. He doesn't have the chance to steal a holster.
- Perma-Stubble: Grif is described as having "a fine layer of stubble that never quite coaxed itself into a beard."
- Psychic Nosebleed: One of the dangers of having your mind read by a Sword.
- Punctuation Shaker: Ktk's full name is "Ktkt'tkkt'kktt'tkkk'tktk'ttkt'tkkk'kktt'kktk'tk."
- Royal Mess: The Free Trade "Baronies" are actually independent states.
- Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Space combat occurs at basically point-blank range. At one point, one of the characters laments that their ship is too large to fit underneath the larger ship's shields, since that would have given them a free shot at her gravlock.
- Shared Universe: Known informally as "The Foldspace Universe."
- Sibling Yin-Yang: Grif Vindh is a smuggler, thief, and general ne'er do well. His sister, Velis Enge, is a high ranking officer in an Alliance black ops division (and is, not incidentally, the leader of the team that's blackmailing Grif).
- Side Bet: The title of the work is a reference to Cyrus and Ktk's continual bets with each other about the outcome of the mission, how long it will be until they wind up in trouble in this particular portnote , whether they will survive their current screwup, etc. Every other member of the crew will bet with each other at the drop of a hat, but Cyrus and Ktk are the most frequent offenders.
- Starfish Aliens: Ktk is described as a 2.5 meter hermaphroditic centipede with three prehensile tails.
- Starfish Language: "Bugtalk" is "a binary language that starts with the total sum of all knowledge and drills down through it until it isolates the specific thought or concept the bug is trying to say." This is emphasized in the story by the fact that Ktk is never quoted directly.
- Technopath: An (extremely rare) ability of certain very strong telepaths.
- Telepathy: All the Radiant Throne's Swords are telepaths. Grif winds up hiring a telepath of his own.
- Time for Plan B: Discussed in Chapter 35, where it is mentioned that they hope Plan A works, because Grif's Plan B's tend to suck.
- Title Drop: Ktk and Cyrus will bet on anything and everything. When Cyrus wins...
- Tractor Beam: Called a "gravlock."
- The Unpronounceable: Again, Ktk's full name. Even the abbreviation of its name can be hard to pronounce. We are told that its species' name and home world's name are even worse.
- Two Shots from Behind the Bar: It should come as no surprise that Dyorbid, as the proprietor of a Bad-Guy Bar, keeps a plasma rifle handy. It's just as useful for bar brawls as it is for people who ask to run a tab.
- Vibroweapon: Amys' weapon of choice.
- We Will Use Manual Labor in the Future: We never see any actual slaves, but there are slavers, which would tend to imply the existence of slaves.
- What Did I Do Last Night?: Grif and crew have a huge celebration with several of the other crews in port. They all get so smashed, the next morning, they can't remember what happenednote . This isn't the first such party, either: They've had to institute The List, a computer record of everyone's possessions that they had entered the party with, bets that were made, and the winners and losers of those bets.
- With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: A telepath's power can drive them insane if they aren't trained to handle it early enough. The Radiant Throne's Swords are continually referred to as insane, but it's more that they're telepathic knight templar church militants.

Calibrating the Italian smile with time-varying volatility and heavy-tailed models
In this paper we consider several time-varying volatility and/or heavy-tailed models to explain the dynamics of return time series and to fit the volatility smile for exchange-traded options where the underlying is the main �Borsa Italiana� stock index. Given observed prices for the time period we investigate, we calibrate both continuous-time and discrete-time models. First, we estimate the models from a time-series perspective (i.e. under the historical probability measure) by investigating more than ten years of daily index price log-returns. Then, we explore the risk-neutral measure by fitting the values of the implied volatility for numerous strikes and maturities during the highly volatile period from April 1, 2007 (prior to the subprime mortgage crisis in the U.S.) to March 30, 2012. We assess the extent to which time-varying volatility and heavy-tailed distributions are needed to explain the behavior of the most important stock index of the Italian market.

Philadelphia, PA, United States, 2006/08/08 - Golden Slipper Camp, a non-profit camp located in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, honored Jerome L. Glickman with its annual Horatio Alger Award to recognize his dedication to the camp and his life's successes.
Golden Slipper Camp, one of the only non-profit overnight camps in the Pocono Mountain area, held its annual Horatio Alger Award Day ceremonies, honoring this years recipient, Jerome L. Glickman. Mr. Glickman was honored for his dedication to the Camp as well as for his rise to success from humble beginnings. As a gift, Mr. Glickman donated a new photography lab with state-of-the-art digital cameras, digital video cameras, and high-performance computers to the Camp.
Mr. Glickman has been a member of the Philadelphia-based Club since 1978 and has served on a wide variety of boards and committees within the Club, including a term as Camp president from 1987-1989 and as Club president from 1992 to 1995. A Philadelphia native, Mr. Glickman is a leading insurance broker in the Delaware Valley, having worked in the business for over 40 years.
The Horatio Alger Award Day ceremonies included an introductory speech by Club member Harvey Becker, who received the award in 2000, and an inspirational speech by Mr. Glickman. The award was then presented to Mr. Glickman by Camp president Howard Levin. The entire Golden Slipper Camp population of over 300 campers, counselors, and staff joined with over 100 Club members who traveled from the Philadelphia area to watch the event and cheer on the honoree. Later in the day, an outdoor barbecue lunch was served and a new beach area by the Camps lake was dedicated in honor of Gary Reis, who was the 2005 Horatio Alger Award recipient.
Founded in 1922, Golden Slipper Club & Charities, based in Bala Cynwyd, PA, is a multi-faceted, charitable agency promoting Jewish values and is comprised of three main entities: a camp for deserving children in the Poconos; a short- and long-term rehabilitation and nursing care facility in Northeast Philadelphia; and a senior center in the Balwynne Park section of Philadelphia. Golden Slipper also provides a wide range of direct community services, including college scholarships, emergency assistance to families in need, and educational, social, and cultural opportunities for area seniors.

I'm 6+ weeks post op TT and flank lipo and developed an area just above the pubic area and incision line that is healing very slowly. It had a keloid in the middle of it until my PS removed it yesterday...but now I'm left with a huge hole and the skin is slowly healing inward around the edges of it. My doctor and I have discussed a revision in a few months. Is this something that is common and how long does something like this take to heal?
I'm 6 Wks P/op TT and Lipo...and Have a Small Slow Healing Hole...is This Normal?
Doctor Answers 4
I'm 6 Wks P/op TT and Lipo...and Have a Small Slow Healing Hole...is This Normal?
Your photo demonstrates superficial skin and fat necrosis. Local wound care allows healing over a few months. Than with scar maturation for 4 to 6 months I than recommend under local anesthesia a revision of the scar.
The wound will heal over weeks
Wound breakdown is an inherent complication associated with TT. It looks as though you had an area of necrosis that your surgeon removed. This will heal over several weeks and you will be left with a scar that will need a revision in 6 months or so. The good news is that it looks relatively small, it will contract with healing and the revision should leave you with an acceptable result. Good Luck!
Open area after tummy tuck and lipo
Skin necrosis at the lower tummy incision after a tummy tuck is a potential risk, and the best treatment is to allow it to heal on its own. It may take weeks to months, depending on its size. It will eventually close up. A scar revision may improve the scar, but you would need to wait until it is healed and hopefully a little skin restretching allows the scar to be excised in this area. Your surgeon may want to wait a little longer until this laxity develops so that the scar can be removed. Don't worry, as bad as it looks now, it will resolve and heal.

Wound healing after a tummy tuck
No your open wound is not normal but is a well known complication of a tummy tuck and should heal completely with some time. As previously stated you may need a scar revision at a later time (usually > 6 months after complete healing).

Eighty-eight pages of recommendations for Hillsborough special ed
After the deaths of two children in exceptional student education, Hillsborough Superintendent MaryEllen Elia convened a work group to consider improvements in safety protocol. A draft report, including input from the Council of the Great City Schools and the Superintendent's Advisory Council on the Education of Students with Disabilities, is posted on the agenda of tomorrow's School Board meeting. No cost estimates are listed for these improvements, which include technological upgrades and a possible reclassification of paraprofessional jobs. There is also the suggestion that executive duties be rearranged so that the head of ESE reports directly to the deputy superintendent. Expect a lively discussion at Tuesday's meeting.
