I am looking for a nature/science curriculum for my 4 year old. I would like it to cover areas such as nature, animals, elements, seasons, etc., and have age appropriate activities.
We have not yet used a science curriculum, as many I find are for older children, or a classroom setting, but we have done alot of self-led learning, and I feel it is time for a more informative program. He is currently 4, and in 1st grade curriculum, and would probably do well with the preschool- 2nd grade level. I would also prefer it to be Creation based.
Do you have any recommendations for me?

How to create a simplified custom front page for TeamPage
The other day, I helped a Japanese IT Support company build a client support site with TeamPage.
Their main request was to make the top page ("front page") of TeamPage simple as possible to be more welcoming and prevent clients from being confused.
In this blog post, I will briefly introduce how I did the customizations using a TeamPage plug-in developed and delivered to the company.

After MutationObserver, PerformanceObserver and IntersectionObserver, we
have another observer for your collection!
ResizeObserver allows you to be
notified when an element's content rectangle has changed its size, and react
accordingly. The spec is currently
being iterated on in the WICG and your feedback is very much welcome.
Previously, you had to attach a listener to the document's
resize event to get
notified of any change of the viewport's dimensions. In the event handler, you
would then have to figure out which elements have been affected by that change
and call a specific routine to react appropriately. If you need the new
dimensions of an element after a resize, you need to call
getBoundingClientRect or
getComputerStyle, which can cause layout thrashing
if you don't take care of batching all your reads and all your writes.
And then you realize that this doesn't even cover the cases where elements
change their size without the main window having been resized. For example,
appending new children, setting an element's
display style to
none, or
similar actions can change the size of an element, its siblings or ancestors.
This is why
ResizeObserver is a useful primitive. It reacts to changes in
size of any of the observed elements, independent of what caused the change.
It provides access to the new size of the observed elements, too. Let's get
straight into it.
All the APIs with the "observer" suffix I mentioned above share a simple API
ResizeObserver is no exception. You create a
object and pass a callback to the constructor. The callback will be given an
array of
ResizeObserverEntries – one entry per observed element – which
contains the new dimensions for the element.
var ro = new ResizeObserver( entries => {
for (let entry of entries) {
const cr = entry.contentRect;
console.log('Element:', entry.target);
console.log(`Element size: ${cr.width}px x ${cr.height}px`);
console.log(`Element padding: ${cr.top}px ; ${cr.left}px`);
// Observe one or multiple elements
Some details
What is being reported?
ResizeObserver reports the content rectangle of an element. The
content rectangle is the box in which content can be placed. It is the border
box minus the padding.
It's important to note that while
ResizeObserver reports both the dimensions
of the
contentRect and the padding, it only watches the
Don't confuse
contentRect with the bounding box of the element. The bounding
box, as reported by
getBoundingClientRect, is the box that contains the entire
element and its descendants. SVGs are an exception to the rule, where
ResizeObserver will report the dimensions of the bounding box.
When is it being reported?
The spec prescribes that
ResizeObserver should process all resize events
before paint and after layout. This makes the callback of an
the ideal place to make changes to your page's layout. Because
processing happens between layout and paint, doing so will only invalidate
layout, not paint.
You might be asking yourself: What happens if I change the size of an observed
element inside the
ResizeObserver's callback? The answer is: You will trigger
another call to the callback right away. However,
ResizeObserver has a
mechanism to avoid infinite callback loops and cyclic dependencies. Changes will
only be processed in the same frame if the resized element is deeper in the DOM
tree than the shallowest element processed in the previous callback. Otherwise,
they'll get deferred to the next frame.
One thing that
ResizeObserver allows you to do is to implement per-element
media queries. By observing elements, you can imperatively define your
design breakpoints and change the element's styles. In the following
example, the second box
will change its border radius according to its width.
const ro = new ResizeObserver(entries => {
for (let entry of entries) {
entry.target.style.borderRadius = Math.max(0, 250 - entry.contentRect.width) + 'px';
// Only observe the second box
Another interesting example to look at is a chat window. The problem that arises in a typical top-to-bottom conversation layout is scroll positioning. To avoid confusing the user, it is helpful if the window sticks to the bottom of the conversation, where the newest messages will appear. Additionally, any kind of layout change (think of a phone going from landscape to portrait or vice versa) should strive to achieve the same.
ResizeObserver allows you to write a single piece of code that takes care of
both scenarios. Resizing the window is an event that
ResizeObservers can
capture by very definition, but calling
appendChild() will also
resize that element (except if
overflow: hidden is set), because it needs to
make space for the new elements. With this in mind, you can get away with a
couple of lines to achieve the desired effect:
const ro = new ResizeObserver(entries => {
document.scrollingElement.scrollTop =
// Observe the scrollingElement for when the window gets resized
// Observe the timeline to process new messages
Pretty neat, huh?
From here, we could add more code to handle the case where the user has scrolled up manually and we want to the scrolling to stick to that message when a new message comes in.
Another use case is for any kind of custom element that is doing its own layout.
ResizeObserver, there was no reliable way to get notified when your own
dimensions change so you can re-layout your own children.
Out now!
As with a lot of the observer APIs,
ResizeObserver is not 100% polyfillable,
which is why native implementations are needed. Current polyfill
implementations either rely on
polling or on adding sentinel elements to the DOM. The former will drain your
battery on mobile by keeping the CPU busy while the latter modifies your DOM and
might mess up styling and other DOM-reliant code.
ResizeObserver is in Chrome 55 Canary, behind the Experimental Web Platform
flag. It is a small primitive that allows you to write certain effects
in a much more efficient way. Try them out and let us know what you think or if
you have questions.

Justin Bieber Makes Official Apology Following Racist Parody Videoby Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Justin Bieber is officially apologizing for his startlingly racist parody video that was released this week.
Speaking to British tabloid The Sun, the singer stated:
"Facing my mistakes from years ago has been one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with," he said about the video, which was filmed when he was 14. (Quotes via the Toronto Sun.) "But I feel now that I need to take responsibility for those mistakes and not let them linger… At the end of the day I just need to step up and own what I did."
"Once again I am sorry for all those I have let down and offended," he concluded, adding: "I just hope that the next 14-year-old kid who doesn't understand the power of these words does not make the same mistakes I made."
Bieber, 20, also reportedly confirmed that mentors Usher and Will Smith knew about the video and reacted accordingly. Usher also allegedly showed him historical videos with that same kind of hatred to teach the then-14-year-old Bieber a lesson.
In the parody video, a 14-year-old Justin Bieber sings his hit 'One Less Lonely Girl,' replacing "girl" with the N-word, as he also sings about killing black people and joining the Ku Klux Klan. The shocking video follows another controversial clip released earlier this week that shows a 15-year-old Bieber telling a racist joke and using the N-word. After that video, Bieber released a lengthy and heartfelt apology.
There have also been reports that Bieber has been been blackmailed over the first video for years, with TMZ claiming that the video was used in an attempt to extort $1 million from the singer, while Gawker claims that TMZ have been the ones holding the video over his head in order to get news.
Bieber's second apology comes in accordance with his recent Instagram post that speaks on God and forgiveness.

Do you ever watch a football game and wonder if the punter may be fighting off internal temptations to take matters into his own hands, get the snap and just take off running for the first down? I am pretty sure that it was this constant thought (which still occurs to me almost every time a punter steps on the field) that steered me away from getting involved in kicking or punting for my high school or college teams (despite my soccer background and my general interest in kicking). There is no way I would have been able to resist the temptation to take off. No way. In fact, I would argue that a good number of us may experience this sort of secret urge when we watch punts, and this may help explain our unbridled joy when a successful fake is pulled off. I read an account of Buffalo's punter Brian Moorman apparently doing this last week and as I was reading I realized that I was way too into just reading about it – if I'd seen it live I might have fainted.
The only analogy I can think of, and this may be a very bad one, is when I'm sitting in church, and it's mostly silent, and I feel that strong temptation to yell something out – anything. I think if someone actually did that someday, I would feel the same kind of exhilaration that I feel when watching a successful fake punt.

Because no one reads the newspaper, and SportsCenter's anchors are too perky for this early in the morning, Deadspin combs the best of the broadsheets and the blogosphere to bring you everything you need to know to start your day.
•We received this photo without explanation, because, honestly, what explanation could there possibly be? (Although reader Matt offers that it might make a great scavenger hunt.) I have no idea what connection Cleaves and Ingram could have. (Besides both being from Flint. Thanks, you 200 emailers.) I have no idea whose baby that is. And I have no idea where Cleaves found that swank "Free Plaxico" shirt.
•The retirement watch begins for Kurt Warner and, surprisingly, Ed Reed. I was hoping that way a typo and they meant Ray Lewis, because Reed, though also a lifelong Raven and one-time monster on the defense, is actually liked by teammates and not washed up.
•The Colts continue their mastery of the Ravens and advance to the AFC title game, on the strength of four turnovers, each more disheartening than the last. Joe Flacco nearly quintupled his passer rating from last week, but at what point do we stop accepting "young QB" as an excuse and start wondering if he can get it done?
•No. 1 Texas got quite the scare from Texas A&M, but Damion James scored 26 points, seven of them in overtime, to seal the deal. They keep this up, and the Horns will be able to pull a Bizarro Florida and lose in both sports' title games in one year.
•More replay controversy! The Stars beat Detroit in the sixth round of the shootout on a Steve Ott goal that barely, if at all, trickled across the goal line. Also, "his foot was in the crease," yell thousands of bitter 1999 Buffalo fans.
Good Sunday morning. If last weekend is enough of a sample size, we should expect at least one good playoff game today.

Jon Conway's best Fire memory might not have come during his single season in Chicago but it's one that stuck in his mind from the infancy of his MLS career.
Brought to Toyota Park via a 2011 MLS SuperDraft trade with Toronto to deputize behind young starting goalkeeper Sean Johnson, Conway, who announced his retirement Tuesday after 12 seasons in MLS, recalled the way Fire fans supported the San Jose Earthquakes during the 2001 MLS Cup Final in Columbus.
As the story goes, the LA Galaxy had beaten the Fire in heartbreaking fashion, using a 98th minute winner from Mauricio Cienfuegos to defeat the side 2-1 in extra time during Game Three of the teams' MLS Cup semifinal. With the final in Columbus being so close to Chicago, many Fire fans had already booked tickets to Crew Stadium for the next week's championship and perhaps many more decided to go cheer against the Galaxy following the loss.
Into his second MLS season as the understudy to Joe Cannon in San Jose, Conway remembered the support his side received from an unlikely source that fateful November day.
"We came out onto the field, looked up behind our goal and it was just packed with Fire fans," said Conway. We came all the way from the west coast and didn't have many fans there other than family, but obviously because they lost to LA, they were rooting for us. It had a huge influence on the match and I remember after the game, as a group, we all went down and saluted the fans for cheering for us. I've always had a love for the Fire fans for that reason."
It's that first MLS Cup victory with San Jose, along with the one in 2003 where Conway recalled, "things didn't work out so well for you guys," that the Media, Penn product holds dearest over his 12-year MLS career.
Perhaps finding his best success with the New York Red Bulls from 2006-09, Conway went from Chivas USA later that season, to Toronto FC the next year before landing in Chicago at this time in 2011. The 6-6 backstop kept things light and jovial in the Fire locker room, appeared in six matches while serving in a supporting role for Johnson last season before the team made the 34-year-old keeper available for last month's Re-Entry Draft.
Having passed through the first phase, the longtime MLS veteran was selected by Galaxy manager Bruce Arena who had previously coached Conway in New York.
"I spoke to [the Galaxy] a couple times and had a really good conversation with Coach Arena. I thanked him for picking me and for the opportunity he gave me in New York. After talking to him, it just felt like a good time to transition out of the game. A few other opportunities came after my option wasn't picked up through the Re-Entry draft. At the time, I thought it over and felt that it might be a good time to walk away."
A holder of an Economics degree from Rutgers University, Conway has long contemplated going into player representation, feeling the experience he's gained while seeing the league take shape as invaluable.
"I have 12 years of MLS experience where I witnessed a disconnect between players, their agents, and the union. With my background, experience, and knowledge I hope to make a difference in player representation."
Aside from the experience he provided, Conway also brought a lighter side to the Fire locker room. One of the more fashionable members of the 2011 Fire, Conway made the bow-tie a popular post-game accessory. He could make a small amount of hair grease go a long way. He was even the club's player representative during "Mo-Vember", to help raise awareness of men's health issues.
Perhaps my best memory of the big man was seeing him ride out of the Soldier Field locker room post-practice on a ten-speed bike, honking his horn as he worked his way up the parking ramp and out of the stadium the day before a friendly against Manchester United.
It's that spirit that has also seen Conway approached about possible broadcasting gigs, something he says he's, "looking into."
He knew when to joke and he knew when to lead, playing the veteran support role well with Johnson and other young members of the Fire is something he took a lot of pride in.
"Sean being a young kid, I knew coming in that my role would be to help him progress and to push him. I knew it would benefit both of us. Looking ahead, he's got an incredible opportunity for the future and I'm looking forward to seeing what he does. Beyond that, just recognizing the older you get, things change. I was happy to be part of the reserve team, helping those young players win the division this year. I take that away as well -- to be a part of the group and to be helpful all the way through."
A longtime veteran, Conway was never flashy. He only appeared in 88 matches but perhaps just as important, he was one of the unsung players that dedicated his career to MLS – one that a young league built its back on. From his first season in 2000, he's seen it transform from a fledgling organization to a force to be reckoned with in world soccer as well as the U.S. sporting landscape.
"Not long after we won MLS Cup in 2001, the league got rid of two teams in Miami and Tampa Bay. It was a huge body blow and there was a lot of uncertainty. We went down to ten teams, and now we're about to start 2012 with 19. The amount of growth over those years has been tremendous and all the while, the league is getting better, the players are getting better, the development is getting better with the youth academies. It's something to see where it was from when I started to leaving MLS now."
Always humble, Conway wanted to depart by saying thanks.
"Thanks to my teammates and coaches, without them I wouldn't be anywhere. I've made friends that will last a lifetime and they've been great. The cities that I've been fortunate enough to play and experience the life in. The teams and playing, was valuable, the experience of living all over North America was even more so. I'd like to thank everyone who's been a part of it, and my family for supporting me throughout the years."

Exactly three weeks after a 2-0 win over San Jose at Pizza Hut Park, FC Dallas returned to MLS action on Saturday night at the Home Depot Center against Chivas USA.
Clearly the better side in the opening half of play, FCD capitalized off their many set piece opportunities when, right before the break, Chivas USA defender Ante Jazic accidentally knocked a David Ferreira corner kick into the back of his own keeper's net to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.
One had to figure if FCD were going to show any rust or a lack of focus, then those issues would rear their head early in the match. However, after a rock-solid performance in the opening 45 minutes, Schellas Hyndman's side clearly took a step back to begin the second half.
Despite being down by a goal, it was the Red-and-White who had the better run of play coming out of the locker room and, in the 59th minute, the home side drew things level with a nice goal from Osael Romero after a good cross from Mariano Trujillo.
So, once again, it looked like FCD were about to leave points on the table, something they have done fairly often in their first 11 games of 2010. However, Marvin Chavez, who got his first start of 2010 at right mid with Atiba Harris moving up top to replace Jeff Cunningham, did a great job of drawing a penalty kick after Jazic brought him down inside the right edge of the box.
Ferreira stepped up and drove home the resulting penalty kick, giving FCD a 2-1 lead. But still there was just that feeling that this one was far from over. To their credit, the Dallas back line weathered the storm and came away with a big three points on the road, FCD's first win at the HDC against Chivas USA since 2008.
The lineup changes made by Hyndman clearly paid off. Harris was active up top in the first half and had a couple of nice chances of scoring against one of his former teams. Chávez was also a big factor on the offensive end and he, too, had a near miss in the opening frame on a shot in the eighth minute that went wide right.
With Cunningham struggling to score and the debut of Colombian forward Milton Rodriguez still a few weeks away, putting Harris up top looks to be a viable option—at least for the time being. The big question with Chávez was his fitness, but the speedy Honduran lasted 70 minutes with no issue before coming off for Eric Avila.
Brek Shea, who had two goals in the win over the Earthquakes three weeks ago, was also active on the offensive end. The midfielder had several great chances and delivered another solid performance.
Also worth noting was another solid game between the posts for starting goalkeeper Kevin Hartman. The veteran keeper came up with several big saves and, while there was some question about whether or not he was out of position on the goal by Romero, Hartman continues to play well and show why he remains the top choice in goal for his club.
FCD now return home to host Kansas City next Saturday. If the Chavez/Harris partnership is one that will continue to develop, then this pairing could help alleviate FCD's scoring struggle that has plagued the team in the early stages of this season.

INDIANAPOLIS - Who's the best athlete? The best quarterback? How about the emergence of the read-option and whether it will impact this year's NFL draft and free agency? A rundown of 10 story lines, none of them related to Manti Te'o, from the NFL combine:
Expect another shake-up atop the draft board after this weekend's craziness. Defensive tackle Star Lotulelei went home after being diagnosed with a heart condition, cornerback Dee Milliner is preparing for shoulder surgery and offensive tackle Eric Fisher appears to be closing the gap on Luke Joeckel, the presumptive No. 1 pick (hello, Kansas City?). Some analysts are moving guard Chance Warmack and defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd into the top five.
Nothing is more important at the combine than passing a physical, and nothing can hurt a draft prospect's stock faster than a bad exam. Just ask Lotulelei, who has generally been ranked in the top three since the college season ended. After doctors diagnosed the Utah star with a heart condition, he was sent home to see a specialist. Before he even left town, some teams were already saying he'd be off their draft board if he couldn't get cleared.
Teams looking for an Andrew Luck or a Robert Griffin III or even a Jake Long will be hard pressed to find a franchise anchor at the top of the 2013 draft. That means the big winners will be the teams looking to fill in around Luck, Griffin or Cam Newton because this year's talent pool runs deep. And teams may find more value in dealing for Alex Smith or Matt Flynn than drafting Geno Smith or Matt Barkley, and those rumors are already flying.
Coaches and general managers often talk about building teams around the line of scrimmage. This year, they can show they mean it. Of the 333 players who attended this week's combine, 112 (33.6 percent) were either offensive or defensive linemen. Fans might want to start learning names like Corey Lemonier (Auburn DE) and Eric Herman (Ohio State OL).
This year's rookie class will keep the NFL's background checkers busy through draft weekend. There are plenty of concerns that need to be sorted out, from drug use and alcohol abuse to academic woes and criminal allegations. Teams want some sort of certainty that they're not going to be risking too much by using a high pick on a talented player such as Alec Ogletree (DUI arrest on Feb. 16) and then having to contend with more problems.
Fans become enamored with things like times in the 40-yard dash and the number of reps players have on the bench press. Scouts prefer to look at the tape. The reality is the workout warriors (see Mike Mamula) in shorts don't always meet the expectations in pads. Don't believe it? Here are the top five 40 times since 2000: Trindon Holliday, Jacoby Ford, Chris Johnson, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Demarcus Van Dyke.
Defensive lineman Walter Stewart of Cincinnati and Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones were told they would have to give up football in college after doctors discovered congenital spinal conditions. Both have been cleared to play and hope to embark on NFL careers. Then there's defensive back D.J. Hayden, who tore a heart vein in a practice collision in November and was rushed into surgery. He's now on verge of fulfilling a lifelong dream.
While there is debate about who will be the first quarterback taken this year - Matt Barkley, Mike Glennon, Geno Smith or someone else - few analysts believe there's a top-10 QB available.
No conference has been better at winning national championships over the last decade and now the SEC's domination is carrying over to the NFL. The SEC easily had the highest number of players at the combine (73), and could have the highest total of first-round picks in April, too, thanks in large part to the contingents from Alabama and LSU. The ACC had the second-most invites (43), with the Pac-12 third (38).
American football is suddenly becoming a hit overseas, too. Players at this year's combine were born or reared in the following countries: Australia, England, Estonia, Ghana, Germany, Japan, Liberia and Tonga. Not everyone believes American football is a great sport, as defensive lineman Magus Hunt, a native of Estonia, can attest. But it's a start for a league that is trying to give its game a global spin.

NEW YORK, NY – Yahoo announced a $1.1 billion deal for blogging site Tumblr early Monday, and said it "promises not to screw it up."
The deal, which had been rumored since last Thursday, will help Yahoo to tap into the younger, active online user base at Tumblr. But the deal raises concerns among some Tumblr fans that the site could end up being cluttered by the ads that brings in billions of dollars a year to Yahoo. Tumblr CEO and founder David Karp has resisted the use of traditional display advertising on Tumblr to this point.
More: Yahoo! CEO Announces Tumblr Acquisition With Animated GIF
To answer those worries, Yahoo said that Tumblr will be independently operated as a separate business with Karp staying on as CEO. Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer posted her own Tumblr post to try to assure fans of the site they need not panic. In a call with investors and analysts Monday, Mayer referred to the deal as a "game changer" for Yahoo. She said there will be no Yahoo branding on Tumblr.
But while she sought to assure Tumblr bloggers and readers that the site will stay the way they like it, she also promised analysts that the deal will give Yahoo a chance to "monetize" Tumblr in a way that "is meaningful … to the user experience."
Karp also sought to assure Tumblr bloggers.
"Our team isn't changing. Our roadmap isn't changing," said Karp in a statement. "Tumblr gets better faster with more resources to draw from."
Tumblr has 300 million monthly unique visitors and 120,000 sign-ups every day, with about 900 posts a second. As big as that is, it is dwarfed by Yahoo, which posted revenue of about $5 billion last year and a profit of $825 million excluding special items. Yahoo had $5.4 billion in cash on its balance sheet, according to its most recent quarterly earnings statement.
Yahoo Chief Financial Officer Ken Goldman said that while the deal is not expected to add much to Yahoo results this year, he forecasts material gains in both profits and revenue by next year. The deal is expected to close in the second half of this year.
The deal is the biggest move yet by Mayer, the Yahoo CEO who has shaken up the company in less than a year on the job. She's rolled out a new homepage, a redesigned Yahoo Mail and refreshed Flickr, its photo-sharing service that some critics said had been dying on the vine before Mayer's changes.
Under Mayer's watch, Yahoo has also purchased mobile start-up Stamped for its engineering staff. Yahoo shut down Stamped after the acquisition and put its staff to work on Yahoo projects. Mayer also made a splash with Yahoo's $30 million purchase of Summly, a news summary app created by 17-year old Nick D'Aloisio.
But Mayer has also been criticized for some of her moves since she left Google to become CEO of Yahoo, especially her decision that Yahoo employees could no longer work from home.
Mayer is scheduled to appear at an event in New York later Monday. It is unclear if she will only be talking about the Tumblr deal or if Yahoo has something else to announce as well.
Shares of Yahoo were higher in early trading Monday. The stock is up more than 33% this year as investors bet that Mayer will be able to turn around the company, which has faced stiff competition from Google, Facebook and AOL in the past few years. Yahoo still trails Google widely in the online search market, despite a partnership with Microsoft.

Historic Fort Lawton officially closes
The flag was lowered Saturday at Seattle's Fort Lawton as the military officially closed the 111-year-old post.
Once a sprawling U.S. Army base where 1 million men passed through on their way to World War II, much of the land was declared suplus and given to the city to become Discovery Park. The Army Reserves Center and complex that remained were vacated last September after the federal government's decision to close the base.
For the past few years, city officials have been working with the Army on a plan to sell the remaining property to the city. That plan still is under review.
Saturday's ceremony featured a 21-gun salute and speeches, as well as historical videos and presentations.
"This will be about remembering Fort Lawton and closing this chapter of its history," Capt. Michael Meyer said before the ceremony. Meyer is spokesman for the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, a logistics unit that was the last to call the post home before transferring to Marysville.
The fort was first built in 1900 on 1,100 acres on Magnolia Bluff and named after Maj. Gen. Henry Ware Lawton, a veteran of the Civil War, Indian Wars, and Spanish-American campaigns who died in the Philippines. Local citizens donated about 700 acres for the post, which was originally built to defend against naval attacks.
Once the second largest deployment center on the West Coast, it also held more than 1,100 German prisoners of war during World War II and was a stopping point for more than 5,000 Italian prisoners being shipped to Hawaii. In the 1950s, the fort was equipped with anti-aircraft missiles and radar and later rejected as a site for an anti-ballistic missile defense system in the 1960s.
The fort is perhaps most famous for the lynching of an Italian POW after rioting on the night of Aug. 14., 1944 and the court-martial that ensued.
Forty-three black soldiers were charged with rioting, and three were charged with murder in what became the longest U.S. Army court-martial of World War II. Sixty years later, a book by journalist Jack Hamann, On American Soil, showed the investigation was mishandled and resulted in the Army's reviewing the case and concluding that the soldiers were falsely court-martialed.
Their convictions were overturned, and they were given honorable discharges. President George W. Bush signed a bill in 2008 that added tens of thousands of dollars in interest to back pay offered to the families of soldiers who spent time in jail. (Here are previous stories about the falsely accused soldiers and a possible movie in the works about the court martial).
The remaining Fort Lawton property includes about 45 acres with 11 buildings and a military cemetery. The federal government plans to retain about 16 acres and a reserve building that was constructed in 1997, as well as some parking and the cemetery, according to a 2008 redevelopment plan report.
A decision on selling the property to the city remains in the Army's hands. City officials have proposed a redevelopment plan that includes building housing for the homeless, which has been controversial with Magnolia residents.
Aaron Pickus, a spokesman for Mayor Mike McGinn, said Thursday that the city is looking for federal funding to update a market analysis conducted in 2008. The city continues consulting with the Army on what will happen to the site, he said. The city's Neighborhoods department has more information on the redevelopment plan here.
The site is currently in "caretaker" status, meaning the Army continues to oversee maintenance, security and graffiti cleanup.

rolent necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 57 diseños de 24 diseñadores freelance.
We would like a logo for a new / rebranded audio visual company. The finished artwork will be used on the website: http://www.isisav.co.uk as well as on business cards and business stationery, and possibly also on liveried vehicles. We have some ideas, but would love to see you guys use your imagination & skills on this one!
ISIS Audio Visuals
We need a logo that is clear and sharp - certainly easy to read - for an audio visual company based in Oxfordshire (UK). The company name is Isis Audio Visuals, and the main logo needs to read either: "ISIS Audio Visuals" or maybe just "ISIS AV". The 'ISIS' part doesn't necessarily have to be in capitals - we would welcome your ideas & input on this! There will be a strap / tag line under the main logo. We haven't finalised this yet, but if you could please work on the basis of it being: "AV Services & Support" that would be good.
We will require the contest winner to provide 3 files. One needs to be a smaller file size for the web page, one needs to be high resolution for printing on business stationery, and the last one would be a file to print from a mono laser printer (i.e. black only) when necessary.
The company provides audio visual equipment to corporate and educational clients in the United Kingdom, and so we're looking for something smart and stylish. Equipment is supplied and installed as well as hired out. Please see the website if you would like more background: http://www.isisav.co.uk
One idea we have had is for the word 'ISIS' to be outline text, with the inner part of the characters blue and rippled like a river. For your information, in our part of the world (Oxford, UK), The Isis is a river. But if there are other meanings / interpretations of the word ISIS (Egyptian for example) or if you can work in graphics relating to projection or presentation equipment, then we'd be very interested to see your ideas!
- Simple, clear & effective please!
- Colours preferred would be red, white & blue
- We would like ideas please - and will give feedback on them
- We don't want this to be too intricate or fussy - it must be possible to read the text without any confusion. We would probably prefer something simpler. We don't want lots of different colours, and if the design can also work when printed on a mono black laser printer when necessary, that would be a plus!

|External display without restarting X !
If you use linux on your Thinkpad W520, you have undoubtedly been frustrated by the graphics situation. With a default install, it's impossible to enjoy both the battery life of the integrated intel graphics card and to have external monitors. The situation is documented in this earlier blog post, along with a partial solution to the problem. The biggest drawback to the solution presented in that post is that you must log out of your X-session to disconnect or connect an external display. Fortunately, with some hacking from Liskni_si , we now have a better option:
A dynamic external display in nVidia Optimus Mode without having to restart the X-Server!
- As far as I know this should also work on some T420/520 models to get the display port output and/or tri-head display.
- You may use this with bumblebee installed, however, you MUST follow ALL the steps that Lekensteyn lays out here except instead of $ export DISPLAY=:8 , run $ screenclone -d :8
- There are some perhaps easier-to-follow instructions to do this with bumblebee and 3D support on the intel card here: http://sagark.org/optimal-ubuntu-graphics-setup-for-thinkpads/
So, here is how the system works:
1. Use bbswitch to turn the nVidia card on and off when you need it.
2. All of the rendering is done on the intel card. This requires an extra virtual screen inside the intel card which can be dynamically activated and configured via xrandr.
3. The content of the intel card's virtual screen is copied to the nvidia card via Liskni_si's screenclone for displaying on the external display.
Here's some basic instructions to get it to work:
1. Download bbswitch via your package manager (for ubuntu it is in the bumblebee ppa). Source and instructions on how to use it are here: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bbswitch (you don't NEED to install all of bumblebee)
$ sudo apt-get update
Learn how to use it. You may also have to manually insert the bbswitch module for it to work
2. Patch your intel driver to give it an extra virtual display.
First download the source for the intel driver
$ wget https://raw.github.com/liskin/patches/master/hacks/xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.18.0_virtual_crtc.patch
$ patch -p1 < xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.18.0_virtual_crtc.patch
[EDIT - there is a newer update of the patch here: https://github.com/liskin/patches/blob/master/hacks/xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.20.14_virtual_crtc.patch. This new patch may be required for newer systems such as ubuntu 12.10. It also contains support for 2 virtual screens, although support for two external screens in screenclone may not be available yet]
Finally, build and install the new intel driver
$ dpkg-buildpackage -b
$ cd ..
$ sudo dpkg --install xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.17.0-1ubuntu4_amd64.deb
Now you probably have to restart X, but after you do, if you run xrandr, you should see an entry called "VIRTUAL", that's what we need.
3. Download and build the screenclone source
To attach an external monitor, first start the x server on the nvidia device with the xorg.conf (xorg.conf.nvidia) included with the hybrid-screenclone source (the nvidia card must be on of course - you can check this with bbswitch).
(If you have bumblebee installed, skip the step above because bumblebee controls the nvidia X server. Instead just run $ optirun true to get the X server going)
Then turn on the virtual screen in the intel chip
And finally, send the intel output to the nvidia card (you'll need to put the screenclone binary in your path)
(If you have bumblee installed use $ screenclone -d :8 instead)
If you don't see the right screen on your external monitor, try running screenclone with the argument -x n where n is 0, 1, or 2.
Make some scripts out of this (you can see the scripts I have made for my use here), and enjoy your new-found freedom!
And maybe one day, Liskni_si will even extend his code so that we W520 users can have triple head without needing to restart X every time ; )

Most keysets have pushbuttons for hold and line selection. These sets have a turnkey in the rightmost position, which may be used to provide line exclusion, ringer switching or other functions. See the BSPs for detail.
If you look close, you'll see the knob on the 440 is knurled and has a vertical white mark to show the switch direction. The later sets have square buttons, so only have a thin black line to show the presence of the turn switch. These are fairly scarce and you have to look close while wandering through the phone show or flea market to pick them out. Happy Hunting!

There are two great debates under the broad heading of Science vs. God. The more familiar over the past few years is the narrower of the two: Can Darwinian evolution withstand the criticisms of Christians who believe that it contradicts the creation account in the Book of Genesis? In recent years, creationism took on new currency as the spiritual progenitor of "intelligent design" (I.D.), a scientifically worded attempt to show that blanks in the evolutionary narrative are more meaningful than its very convincing totality. I.D. lost some of its journalistic heat last December when a federal judge dismissed it as pseudoscience unsuitable for teaching in Pennsylvania schools.
But in fact creationism and I.D. are intimately related to a larger unresolved question, in which the aggressor's role is reversed: Can religion stand up to the progress of science? This debate long predates Darwin, but the antireligion position is being promoted with increasing insistence by scientists angered by intelligent design and excited, perhaps intoxicated, by their disciplines' increasing ability to map, quantify and change the nature of human experience. Brain imaging illustrates--in color!--the physical seat of the will and the passions, challenging the religious concept of a soul independent of glands and gristle. Brain chemists track imbalances that could account for the ecstatic states of visionary saints or, some suggest, of Jesus. Like Freudianism before it, the field of evolutionary psychology generates theories of altruism and even of religion that do not include God. Something called the multiverse hypothesis in cosmology speculates that ours may be but one in a cascade of universes, suddenly bettering the odds that life could have cropped up here accidentally, without divine intervention. (If the probabilities were 1 in a billion, and you've got 300 billion universes, why not?)
Roman Catholicism's Christoph Cardinal Schönborn has dubbed the most fervent of faith-challenging scientists followers of "scientism" or "evolutionism," since they hope science, beyond being a measure, can replace religion as a worldview and a touchstone. It is not an epithet that fits everyone wielding a test tube. But a growing proportion of the profession is experiencing what one major researcher calls "unprecedented outrage" at perceived insults to research and rationality, ranging from the alleged influence of the Christian right on Bush Administration science policy to the fanatic faith of the 9/11 terrorists to intelligent design's ongoing claims. Some are radicalized enough to publicly pick an ancient scab: the idea that science and religion, far from being complementary responses to the unknown, are at utter odds--or, as Yale psychologist Paul Bloom has written bluntly, "Religion and science will always clash." The market seems flooded with books by scientists describing a caged death match between science and God--with science winning, or at least chipping away at faith's underlying verities.

- Red Bull news
Vettel plays down impact of new tyres
- Drivers:
- Sebastian Vettel
- Teams:
- Red Bull
Sebastian Vettel said the new tyres tested at Silverstone this week have not made much of a difference to the feeling of his car.
Pirelli will start using the tyres, which feature a 2012-style construction and 2013 compounds, from the Hungarian Grand Prix onwards and race drivers were invited to this week's Young Driver Test to put the new rubber to the test. After the previous construction suffered several blowouts at the British Grand Prix last month, there were no major issues after three full days of testing at Silverstone in dry conditions.
Several drivers have reported more consistent performance over long runs although peak performance has dropped off compared to the previous tyres. Nevertheless, Vettel said there was not much of a change after an afternoon at the wheel of his Red Bull.
"Not that much of a difference," he said. "First of all we had three days with different drivers in all the different cars and no failures in conditions that were probably worse than at the grand prix. It was even hotter, the asphalt temperature was even higher but there was no big surprise. Obviously we weren't allowed to rebalance the car and try different things so refuelling was probably the biggest change but it was good to get a couple of laps and practice the feeling of driving around Silverstone."
Vettel managed to set the fastest time of the week, 0.078s faster than Daniel Ricciardo's time in the Toro Rosso on Thursday. Ricciardo also tested the Red Bull as part of a trial run for a race drive in 2014 and Vettel was asked whether he would prefer the Toro Rosso driver or front-runner Kimi Raikkonen as his team-mate this year.
"I think it would be a stupid fight if I started commenting too much," he said. "I don't mind either of them, I think I get along with both of them. I probably know Kimi a little bit better than Daniel, but I think he [Ricciardo] did a good job yesterday. All the drivers we had in this week, Antonio Felix da Costa and Carlos Sainz, did a good job and kept the car on track. It's not an easy track and it was quite hot as well so I think we can be happy with the result."

I want to help you speed it up. After all, you are worth $1,000 an hour meeting with and talking to clients and prospects. You are worth a lot less typing meeting notes and emails. So let's speed that up.
These are the tools that I use. I have posted some short videos and links at my site. All free, of course.
Old Favorites
Two of my favorites, which I use daily, are Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and Copytalk. Dragon is a voice recognition program. It gets installed on your PC or Mac. Copytalk is a mobile dictation service. You call them on your phone or use their app. Your dictation is transcribed by real people as opposed to a program like Dragon. (Don't even think about using a feature like Siri. Guaranteed compliance heartburn.)
I use Copytalk primarily for documenting phone calls and meetings. During a call or meeting, I am taking notes. They are often cryptic and therefore mean little 24 hours later. As soon as possible, I call Copytalk and dictate what happened on a call. A single dictation might include notes, an email to a client or prospect and/or instructions to team members. My assistant, Lisa, proofs each email and then sends it on its way.
I am a 60 word per minute typist. I can dictate at 120–160 words per minute. So why on earth would I type notes into a CRM? Normally, I am done with my documentation in 2–3 minutes. That's a single-spaced page, a lot of info about what happened in that call or meeting. Whatever my deficiencies, inadequate documentation of my calls and meetings is not among them.
Why not use Dragon for meeting notes? Once you buy the program, it's free.
The reason is probably just personal. When I dictate and see an error, I have to correct it. I cannot see my errors in Copytalk dictation, so I don't stop. For actions such as documenting meetings, Copytalk is much faster than Dragon. At least for me.
When you buy Dragon, I strongly recommend the Premium Edition. It has one feature not available on the Home Edition. With Premium you can have the program read back what you dictated. Follow along in the written text as it reads to you. Even if I have typed a document, I often run it through Dragon when I proof it. That's how I catch all (O.K., most) of the mistakes the spellchecker in Word misses.
With Dragon, I can crack through a stuffed inbox two or three times faster than typing.
If you decide to use Dragon, I have two suggestions for you: First, make certain you go through enough of the tutorials so you know how to correct voice recognition errors. Dragon learns as you correct mistakes. Over time, accuracy will improve.
Second, buy a microphone other than the one that ships with the program. That might push your voice recognition accuracy from 96% to 99%. Think about this for a moment. If you are dictating at 160 wpm, a 4% error rate means six or seven errors to correct. For each, you have to stop dictating and fix the problem. Your typing speed is way down, maybe 40 wpm.
I have put a link to the microphone I use on my advisor productivity page.
Text Lightning
Let's really speed up those emails. Dragon is great. Text Lightning is blazing because it is the best program to store and send those annoying emails you have to send over and over.
Text Lightning is an Outlook add-in that enables you to quickly add stored text to an email AND attach one or more documents. This is the part I really love. No more poking around to find that attachment. It's already attached!
Clients request info on 529 plans, RMDs, copies of this and that, product info. You send appointment confirmation reminders, thank you notes and countless other emails that are nearly the same. It's called reinventing the wheel, same thing, over and over.
I have built my own Text Lightning library to 79 stored emails.
The good news: Text Lightning is free. It stores the text of an email and very importantly, will attach a document. Example: I frequently send clients an email explaining a particular campaign. That email is 568 words. It has two attachments.
In about five seconds, I click a button in Text Lightning and it copies my stored text into a new email and attaches the documents. I normally spend maybe a minute to look it over and see if it needs any minor personalization. If not, it's on its way.
To type and proof that email from scratch: 20 minutes. To dictate and proof it: 10 minutes. To send it with Text Lightning: one minute. It's already proofed. Effective typing speed: 600 wpm.
The bad news: Text Lightning is a quirky program. It has some flaws such as its inability to deal with an apostrophe. You write, "I'm sending you …" and it will delete the apostrophe, giving you "Im sending you …" The rule is: no apostrophes. There are a few other gotchas.
Despite its imperfections, it is the best tool I have found for managing stored text with attachments. I have posted the download link and some instructions at my FA Productivity Tools page. It took me a while to figure out how to deal with some of the quirks. The instructions will save you that time.
With AutoText, you can store and quickly recall recurring text, pictures, tables, and graphics. It cannot deal with attachments. It is a built-in feature of Microsoft Office. Whatever version of Office you have, you have AutoText.
I use AutoText to reuse recurring paragraphs of text. Simple example: After every appointment, you write a personal email. You always end it with:
Thank you so much for your time today.
Robert Loblaw
To show you the power of AutoText, I have a screen movie posted for you. In it, I have combined AutoText and Dragon.
Use technology to communicate more, better, faster.
As usual, I have run out of space. I have three other important tools for you. They will have to wait until next time. Meantime, subscribe to Copytalk. Download Dragon. Download Text Lightning and learn AutoText. You will communicate better, faster, with more people, and have more time to meet with clients and prospects, or more family time.

Welcome to European Microwave Week 2012
The global RF and microwave community is clearing its collective diary to make Space for Microwaves from Sunday the 28th of October to Friday the 2nd of November as the 15th European Microwave Week returns to the Amsterdam RAI Conference Centre. There will be space to accommodate a broad range of subjects, from semiconductors and nanotechnology through wireless and radar systems. Also, taking advantage of the local proximity of ESA/ESTEC, the Week will also focus on Microwaves for Space, with special emphasis being given to space applications.
It has been four years since European Microwave Week last visited the canal city of Amsterdam. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then and the political, economic and industrial landscape has changed dramatically. However, during that time, with the support of academia and industry and through the efforts of the European Microwave Association and Horizon House publications, EuMW has endeavoured to bring the RF and microwave community together and highlight the technology and activity that is driving the sector forward.
It is this focus that has made European Microwave Week the premier microwave conference and exhibition event in Europe. The European Microwave Conference (EuMC), the largest of the three conferences taking place, is enhanced and complemented by the European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC), focusing on semiconductor device and circuit technologies, and the European Radar Conference (EuRAD), targeting the field of radar, from components to applications. Now, more than ever before, research and innovation needs to find practical commercial applications and the European Microwave Exhibition has become established as a platform where companies from across the globe showcase and demonstrate their latest products.
The exhibition halls are always a hub of activity but there is even more to see and interact with this year. Five cars will offer a practical hands-on demonstration of the latest radar sensors while the MicroApps Auditorium will house the European Microwave Week Microwave Application Seminars (MicroApps). Here, exhibitors will present technical applications-based seminars describing state-of-the-art products, design techniques and processes. The exhibition will also be the home of the coffee breaks and the conference Poster Sessions, which feature a Publisher's Corner and provide that all-important Internet access via the CST sponsored Cyber Café.
Although the conference and exhibition are the mainstays of the Week, new initiatives are continually being added and developed. Special sessions focus on hot topics and expand the global reach beyond Europe to the Asia-Pacific and the wider Asian microwave community. Special events highlight the evolution of defence, security and space and the importance of supporting students and post-graduates by offering challenges and instruction that will encourage them in their careers and stimulate a bright future both for them and our industry.
To stimulate minds and interest, a number of focussed sessions target specific areas of activity and special interest. Reflecting the fact that EuMW is international, far reaching and collaborates across the globe, two sessions will centre on Asia. In the Special Session on APMC on Wednesday, three distinguished invited speakers from Taiwan, Korea and Australia expand on the most advanced achievements in their respective fields of activity. Later on the same day, the Microwaves Inside Asia Session aims to provide a general overview of various microwave research strengths and system applications, as well as to identify common research topics of interest for the promotion of international collaboration.
Taking up the Space for Microwaves theme is the Defence, Security and Space Forum, which will again offer attendees the opportunity to benefit from the expertise and experience of representatives from government defence/space agencies and leading contractors. For more information see page 74.
EuMW always has its eye on the future and embraces the importance of nurturing future generations. To that end, the 5th Student Challenge at EuMW 2012, sponsored by Thales Nederland, will provide the opportunity for students from all over the world to work together on a specific topic in the microwave field. Additionally, following a pilot school held last year, EuMW 2012 will see the first course in the Doctoral School of Microwaves, aimed at early stage PhD students, which will focus on Microwave Fundamentals. Established initiatives continue including the Women in Engineering event which shows growing interest each year.
Interaction, networking and friendship are what EuMW aims to provide and that is typified by the popular Welcome Reception (including banquet), which will be held in the new Elicium building of the RAI Conference Centre on Tuesday evening. It provides the ideal opportunity to combine business with pleasure.
EuMW 2012 carries on the tradition of providing interesting and valuable content in a friendly and convivial atmosphere, which takes considerable effort. Therefore, the Local Organising Committee would like to express its gratitude to the Technical Programme Committees of the three conferences, along with the more than three hundred reviewers. A well deserved thank you goes to Dr. Matthias Rudolph for his running of the TPMS paper submission software.
We would also like to acknowledge all the organisers of workshops, special sessions and student events. Thanks also goes to the Horizon House staff assigned to EuMW whose experience and skill allowed us to obtain the best facilities and the ultimate synergy between conference and exhibition. Last but not least, we acknowledge the financial and in-kind sponsorship of many industrial enterprises and other organisations.
We are certain that you will enjoy EuMW 2012 and we are looking forward to meeting you in Amsterdam.
Welcome from Bertram Arbesser-Rastburg, General Chairman, EuMW 2012 and Ivar Bazzy, President, Horizon House Publications.

One can tell the World Cup is around the corner as our one-day international side is going through yet another rebuilding phase. It seems to happen 12 to 18 months before every World Cup.
I have been watching cricket for nearly 20-years and have seen this rebuilding phase occur in the past. Until recently I could always see what the selectors where trying to achieve; the building of a balanced side which combined youth with experience, and our past record at the World Cup shows that the selectors have, by and large, managed to get it right.
That is until recently. I have to admit that, as the situation currently stands, I have absolutely no idea what the selectors are trying achieve, nor can I identify any sort of coherent guiding philosophy. They seem to be throwing darts in the dark and hoping that some of them hit the board.
The dropping of Matthew Hayden from the one side is understandable. A protracted form slump at test level was only overcome after Hayden re-invented his batting style, going from aggressive dominator of bowling attacks to an accumulator. It is apparent that this style of batting was seen as unsuitable for an opening one-day international batsman.
However, his replacement, Simon Katich is an unusual choice. Hayden averaged 40.11 with a Strike Rate of 75.91. Katich averages 30.00 with a Strike Rate of 75.06. If aggression and dominance is what the selectors are looking for from their opening pair then the answer does not lie with Simon Katich.
A far better alternative would be Phil Jacques, who made a chanceless 94 on debut, the highest score of any Australian batsman debuting in a one-day international. An unorthodox batsman, capable of inventive stroke play Phil possesses the aggression and shot selection required to establish rapid and large run platforms for the middle order to exploit.
Our other current opening batsman is Damien Martyn. A classical and elegant player Damien Martyn is, in my opinion, not suited to be an opener. Martyn was elevated to the number 2 position after a brutal 96 of 56 opening in a 20/20 match against South Africa. His masterful performance in this match was deceptive as the bowling styles and philosophies employed in a 20/20 match bear no relation to what one can expect in a 50 over one day international. Therefore strong performances opening in a 20/20 match should not be used to predict someones performance in the slightly longer version of the game.
Martyn is much more suited to his previous number 4 batting position where his footwork and ease against spin bowling would see him exploit the medium pace and spin bowling that is inevitably encountered in the 20 to 30 over period when number 4 batsman traditionally come into bat.
Partnering Phil Jacques should be Michael Hussey. Hussey is currently seen and being used as Australias new Michael Bevan, a role which sells Hussey short (no disrespect intended to Michael Bevan). Hussey is a classic and complete batsman, equally at home against spin, swing and fast, short-pitched bowling. He currently possesses both a monumental average of 104.14 and an equally impressive Strike Rate of 94.80. A Jacques/Hussey opening partnership would provide those rapid and large run platforms the selectors are looking for.
No change is required at number 3. Ricky Ponting, despite questions over his captaincy from some quarters, is, I believe, the man who can lead Australia to a record 3rd world cup. Currently perceived as the best batsman currently playing in both forms of the game, Ricky can take a game away from any team should the mood so take him. He does come at the ball too hard early on in his innings but once set he can destroy bowling attacks. A little patience until he has established himself at the crease is all he needs to become to complete batsman.
With Damien Martyn returning to his number 4 position I would like to turn my attention to the number 5 and 6 batting position currently held by Andrew Symonds and Michael Clarke respectively.
I personally find Andrew Symonds to be one of the most frustrating players currently on the international scene. Not unlike Shahid Afridi, Symonds is the sort of batsman who can totally and utterly destroy a bowling attack. When on song one can almost imagine the opposition bowlers engaging in a quick game of Rock, Paper, Scissor to determine who the next unfortunately soul should be to give Symonds some more batting practice.
Yet, what makes him so frustrating is that like Afridi, Symonds seems to be unsure as to where exactly this talent comes from and how to call upon it when it is needed. As such I find him too unpredictable to remain at number 5. I would instead bring him in at number 7 where he can feast on tired or inexperienced bowlers during the death.
Instead I would elevate Michael Clarke to number 5 and let him make that position his home. Michael Clarke is definitely one of the new breed of one-day batsman. Quick, fit and inventive he can adapt both his batting style and his mentality depending on the situation. Should he come in after the openers and top order have scored 200+ at 6 an over he has the shot selection to maintain such a run rate. However, should he come in when Australia is five for very little he also has the patience and speed to steal quick singles and re-establish the momentum that may have been lost. This, coupled with the ability to bowl some more than handy left arm leg spin gives his captain plenty of options.
People have probably been wondering, where the hell is Gilchrist, well here he is, coming it at number 6. Adam Gilchrist has been one half of Australias one-day opening partnership for over 200 games yet age is visibly and inevitably taking his. At 34 (turning 35 in November 06) Gilchrist is beginning to show the signs of being unable to deal with the workload of an opening wicketkeeper batsman. If he is to remain a fixture in Australias one-day side and if he is to represent us as a wicketkeeper in the 2007 World Cup then a move down the order will be essential.
Frankly I cannot see a problem with Adam coming in at number 6. As stated earlier, a number 6 batsman rationally comes into the game at the 30 to 35 over mark. A period where part time spin and medium pace bowlers are used in order to maintain the oppositions over-rate and to break up a batsmans concentration through varied pace and movement. I doubt this will pose too much of a problem for Gilchrist who currently possesses a strike rate of over 95 and a well known appetite for part time bowlers. However, more importantly, coming in at number 6 will give him time to recover from his wicket keeping duties should Australia be batting second.
At number 8 we have what seems to be the answer to the question Where is the next Ian Harvey. Despite never scoring a half-century or taking 4 wickets in a match Ian Harveys contribution to Australian limited overs cricket was invaluable. A phenomenal fielder, powerful batsman and bowler of the best slower ball in the business Ians departure left a large hole in Australias lower order, a hole that James Hopes can hopefully fill.
Combining intelligent and innovative batting with bowling in the low to mid 130km/h, James has shown that he has the potential of bowling first change or at the death. The only thing lacking seems to be a genuine slower ball but I doubt this is more than a phone call to The Freak away.
At number 9 I would cement Brad Hogg as a starting member of our ODI XI. This insistence of using him as a super-sub simply makes no sense as far as I am concerned. Despite their talents Symonds and Clarke are part time spinners at the best of times and to rely on them to provide the variation in our bowling attack is bound to fail more often than it will succeed. With uncertainty clouding Shane Warnes return to the limited overs fold and a hesitancy over using Stuart MacGill due to his perceived weakness in batting Brad Hogg is the only tried and tested alternative we have to carry to teams slow bowling duties. This coupled with more than reasonable batting talents gives the team a dedicated spinner and ensures that the tail can wag at least until number 9.
Some may argue this point, believing that Victorian captain Cameron White would be a better alternative, however I strongly disagree. Whilst arguably being the better batsman, White is definitely not the better bowler and that is the fundamental quality we are looking for. Bowling primarily top and over spin White seems to struggle getting any turn off the pitch and as such ends up bowling 100km/h darts which any batsman soon learns to despatch to the boundary as fast as possible.
Coming in at number 10 I would elect to have Brett Lee. His World Cup record is simply stunning with 22 wickets at 17.91. Whilst sometimes wayward he is a strike bowler and should be used as such. When on song and comfortable with his rhythm he can be unplayable, as the 219 opposition batsman he has sent back to the shed at a rate of 1 ever 28 runs can attest.
Finally to round of what I see as the ideal team to take to the 2007 World Cup I would have Mr Metronome himself. Look up line and length in any cricket lexicon and all they will have is a picture of Glenn D McGrath. Capable of either frustrating or boring a batsman to death depending on your point of view Glenn will be the foundation upon which Australias bowling attack will build itself on. Having taking 45 wickets at 20.78 during the 1996, 1999 and 2003 World Cup I am sure Glenn will be hungry for more before he finally decides to hang up his rather large boots soon thereafter.
However, this is not the end. I cannot leave out Stuart Clark who has already impressed many despite playing only 5 matches for the Australian ODI side. In those 5 matches he has shown that he is a worthy successor or even partner for Glenn McGrath, bowling the same nagging, economical line and length. So well has he bowled that he has already taken 10 wickets at 21.90, wickets including such talents as Kevin Pieterson and Nathan Astle (twice).

FRAMINGHAM, MA -- A 45-year-old man died after being found unconscious and burned in the sauna of a YMCA in suburban Boston.
Gary Kantor collapsed after suffering from a diabetic seizure, according to The MetroWest Daily News of Framingham, MA. His wife and children were elsewhere in the facility at the time. They discovered him, and Kantor's wife began treating him for a seizure.
Rescuers reported that Kantor had first- and second-degree burns on his torso and legs. On Saturday, Sept. 25, he was taken to UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, MA, but died three days later.
Jeanne McAllister, president of MetroWest YMCA, said that the Y has investigated the incident and suspect Kantor came into contact with a heating element in the redwood sauna during the seizure.

You may be wanting to ask me specifically what makes a liqueur.
Wikipedia says that it's a liqueur is an alcoholic beverage made from a distilled spirit that has been flavored with fruit, cream, herbs, spices, flowers or nuts and bottled with added sugar or other sweetener. They are typically quite sweet; they are usually not aged for long after the ingredients are mixed, but may have resting periods during their production to allow flavors to marry.
1 C vodka
3/4 C white sugar, or more if you want it sweeter
2 drops green gel food coloring
1 drop yellow gel food coloring
Puree the honeydew until smooth. Measure 1 C of puree and pour into a glass jar with a tight fitting lid. You can use old wine bottles, or other. Add vodka, sugar and food coloring. Cover and shake until the sugar is dissolved. Store at room temperature for 7 days.
Strain the melon mixture into a bowl through a paper towel lined sieve to remove any solid bits. Do this several times. Pour the melon liqueur into a bottle and seal until ready to use.
