When teachers hear a child stutter, the immediate reaction is one of concern mixed with a host of urgent questions:
• Should I call on the student in class, or will that only make it worse?
• How should I handle teasing and bullying by other students?
• What should I do about reading aloud in class?
The Stuttering Foundation has produced the DVD, "Stuttering: Straight Talk for Teachers." This 20-minute film helps parents and teachers understand how stuttering can affect children of all ages in the classroom and is available at most public libraries. This DVD was offered to all the public libraries in the county, and the Ladd Public Library, Neponset Public Library and Sheffield Public Library received the free DVD and agreed to shelve it.
The highlight of the DVD is the children who discuss their experiences in the classroom and share what was helpful for them.
"Even when I knew the answer, I wouldn't raise my hand because I was worried about what others might think," said Umberto, a teenager in the DVD.
He added that giving a classroom presentation on stuttering to the entire class has made him feel more at ease.
"At the beginning of the school year, I was embarrassed to read aloud in front of my teacher and friends because of my stuttering," said Kate.
She worked with her teacher to make a plan about how she could practice first at home and then individually with her teacher.
Martin offered a different perspective.
"I feel confident and even though I might mess up when I talk, I'm not ashamed. I still want the teacher to call on me even though I might be having a bad day."
Noted speech-language pathologists Bill Murphy, M.A., of Purdue University and Kristin Chmela, M.A., of Northwestern University present practical strategies teachers can use immediately to help children feel more comfortable talking in the classroom.
"The courage and honesty of the children sharing their experiences helps teachers find solutions for the children in their class," says Lisa Scott, Ph.D., of The Florida State University and co-producer of the DVD.
At school, children who stutter often face bullying and teasing. This treatment by other students sometimes causes more anxiety than does the speech disorder itself.
"Even the children who receive therapy to help them speak more fluently continue to have negative feelings as they grow older," Murphy said. "Their ability to communicate is still hindered by the shame and embarrassment they feel about stuttering, which is often brought on by teasing."
Murphy suggests teachers make stuttering an open topic for discussion in the classroom. One exercise a teacher can use is to discuss famous people who stutter. NBA basketball star Kenyon Martin, news anchor John Stossel, and actors James Earl Jones and Nicholas Brendon are just a few of the many celebrities who struggle with stuttering. A list of famous people who stutter and a downloadable poster can be found at www.stutteringhelp.org.
Elementary school teacher Katie Lenell said, "This DVD is an excellent resource for educators at all grade levels. I now feel more at ease having a child who stutters in my classroom."
Books and DVDs produced by the 65-year-old nonprofit Stuttering Foundation are available free to any public library. A library that will shelve them can contact the Foundation at 800-992-9392, e-mail email@example.com, or visit www.stutteringhelp.org or www.tartarmudez.org.
International Stuttering Awareness Day is Oct. 22 each year.

Orioles pound Twins 11-1
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Carl Pavano's slow spring continues for the Minnesota Twins.
Pavano, the Twins' opening day starter, allowed six earned runs and eight hits in four innings and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Minnesota Twins 11-1 on Thursday.
Pavano's spring ERA is 6.11 through 17 2/3 innings.
"In the beginning (of the game) I was really lethargic, missing, leaving a lot of pitches up — and they were getting the good part of the bat on them and driving the ball, to left, to center," Pavano said. "It was just one of those days where I had to battle through it and get through my pitch count."
The 13-year veteran is accustomed to needing time to get ready for the season.
"I think having the miles that I have on me, it's a little more of a battle," Pavano said. "Sometimes it takes all of spring to really get ready for the season. Every year's a different year. And last year it took all of spring and all of April, basically, so this year I'm definitely further ahead as far as where I feel physically and mechanically."
Joe Mauer went 2 for 3 with an RBI for the Twins. He raised his spring average to .312, an encouraging sign after the four-time All-Star hit a career-low .287 last year while battling injuries.
The Orioles' offense was also strong as they finished with 14 hits and scored a spring team-high 11 runs.
Wilson Betemit went 3 for 4 with a two-run home run, Chris Davis homered and Xavier Avery went 3 for 4 with a double.
Wei-Yin Chen made his case for a rotation spot for the Orioles by allowing four hits and one run in five innings.
The native of Taiwan, who played the past four years in Japan, has given up five runs and 13 hits through 15 innings.
"He threw the ball well," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "As happens this time of year, the lineups get a little bit more formidable. He was real impressive today."
Chen is not focusing on where he's slotted just yet.
"Not really, because this is my first year," Chen said. "The only thing I want to do is the best I can to help the team. Right now, just to do my best every day."
Chen's bigger concern is figuring out the other lineups.
After giving up a pair of hits to Mauer, Chen was asked if he knew who the former AL MVP was.
The response: No. But he's working on it.
"This is a really great experience for me to learn Mauer and the other players, because they are really great hitters," Chen said.
Notes: The Twins returned pitcher Terry Doyle, a Rule 5 pick, to the White Sox on Wednesday. The club also reassigned pitchers Sam Deduno and Phil Dumatrait, catcher Danny Lehmann, infielder Ray Chang and outfielder Matt Carson to minor league camp on Thursday. ... Twins pitcher Scott Baker, trying to get over elbow tendinitis that has sidelined him for the past two weeks, pitched two innings of a minor league game, giving up one hit and striking out two. ... Orioles LHP Tsuyoshi Wada threw three innings in a Double-A game in Sarasota. He allowed one unearned run and two hits. ... Showalter and pitching coach Rick Adair didn't arrive until just before game time because of a traffic accident on I-75 near Venice, Fla.

Jan Hajek and Lukas Rosol both won their opening singles matches Friday to give the defending champion Czech Republic a comfortable 2-0 lead over Kazakhstan in their Davis Cup quarterfinal.
Hajek defeated Mikhail Kukushkin 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 before Rosol rallied to beat Andrey Golubev 4-6, 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (6) in the second singles on clay at the National Tennis Centre.
"It's a fantastic result to lead 2-0 over Kazakhstan on the first day," Czech captain Jaroslav Navratil said.
Golubev opened strongly, breaking Rosol with a backhand winner in the fifth game, and looked the better player until the 10th game of the second set, losing only 14 points on his serve.
But Rosol levelled the match when Golubev netted a forehand, and the 63rd-ranked Czech then broke Golubev twice in the third set. Both players were broken once each in the fourth set, before Rosol converted his second match point in the tiebreaker with a forehand volley.
"Not all was as I expected at the beginning of the match but then I seized the initiative and won the match," Rosol said. "I do not think about my match on Sunday - we can decide the tie tomorrow in the doubles."
The Czech Republic is without Tomas Berdych, who has a shoulder injury. Their No. 2 player Radek Stepanek, who had a neck operation in January, was rested for the opening singles but is set to play doubles on Saturday with Ivo Minar against Evgeny Korolev and Yuriy Schukin.
Golubev was up a break in the fourth set but missed his chance to level to the match.
"I had a set point at 5-4 in the fourth set but lost my serve," Golubev said. "I was back into the game and tried to make it my way but he (Rosol) served hard and gave me no chance."
Hajek saved a break point in the third game before breaking Kukushkin in the eighth and then serving out the first set. The Czech won five consecutive games in the second set and broke immediately in the third. Serving for the match, Hajek jumped to a 40-love lead and sealed the victory with backhand shot down the line on his first match point.
"Despite the scoreline, it was a tough match,"Hajek said. "We chose the right tactics for the match and it led us to success."
Kukushkin, who beat Hajek to score the winning point in Kazakhstan's 3-2 surprise victory over the Czechs in the first round in 2011, couldn't challenge his opponent's solid game this time.
"Nothing worked with me today," Kukushkin said. "He played perfectly and gave no chances - he was returning every difficult shot. I tried to risk but made even more mistakes. It was not my day."
It was the first loss at home for Kukushkin, who has a 12-6 record in the competition.
The Czech Republic beat Spain in the final last year for its first title as an independent nation. Kazakhstan is looking for its first semifinal appearance.
The winner of the best-of-five series will face either Argentina or France in the semifinals in September.

Ex-BigPond chief uploaded to Quickflix
As Quickflix picks up BigPond's DVD rental business
The former head of Telstra Big Pond and Telstra Media, Justin Milne, will resurface as deputy chairman of Quickflix. Milne's appointment is expected to be announced today.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of Quickflix's impressive coup in snapping up Telstra's BigPond Movies DVD rental business.
Telstra has advised that it will shut down the DVD rental service of BigPond Movies on 30 September 2011.
Quickflix announced to the ASX yesterday that it has entered into a commercial agreement with Telstra, in which Telstra will refer BigPond Movies DVD customers who wish to maintain their service to Quickflix.
The terms of the agreement will see Quickflix make a variable payment to Telstra based on the number of customers who transfer to its DVD rental service. Quickflix will also acquire BigPond's library of DVD and Blu-ray discs and equipment for an undisclosed sum.
Telstra's DVD catalogue was around 44,000 strong and joins the Quickflix library of 50,000 movies, TV series, documentary and sporting titles across 400 genres.
"As a result of this agreement we will significantly increase the depth of our library of latest release and catalogue titles and we'll be servicing the whole of Australia with next day delivery in all major cities," Quickflix founder and executive chairman Stephen Langsford said.
While Telstra dumped its old-school model to ramp up its on demand T-Box IPTV service, it may soon be competing with Quickflix on the digital platform. Langsford confirmed to the Register that the company was on track to go digital in 2011.
Milne's emergence at Quickflix bolsters the company's digital ambitions and will help the company ramp up its aim to launch a digital distribution service by the end of this year.
Langsford said that he recently returned from a trip to the US with Milne, and both executives were buoyed by the US market's appreciation of companies such as Netflix, upon which the Quickflix business model is based – along with that of UK's LoveFilm.
Quickflix has over 80,000 active subscribers, 200,000 online members and has been aggressively growing its social media community presence. ®

Staffing & Employment News
Recovery Gaining Speed
The economy produced more jobs than expected in January, with an overall net increase of 243,000 and a private sector addition of 257,000. The last two months of 2011 had a net upward revision of 60,000. Private-sector gains were led by professional and business services (+70,000), leisure and hospitality (+44,000), and manufacturing.
Unemployment dipped as well, falling to the lowest rate in three years. The household survey indicated a drop to 8.3 percent from 8.5 percent in December.
The U.S. Economy grew by 2.8 percent in Q4 2011 according to the Commerce Department. This was 1% higher than A3. The Federal Reserve's Business Outlook Survey showed regional manufacturing activity continued to expand moderately in January, and firms continued to report hiring increases. The survey's broad indicators stayed in positive territory again this month.
Recruiters in specialized sectors are staying busy. Greg Schreiner, Clean Tech Recruitment Manager at Redfish Technology, reports that 2011 finished off with a bang and January 2012 hasn't showed any signs of slowing. "The hiring managers I work with a expressing continued optimism overall" stated Schreiner, "it is an exciting time in CleanTech recruiting, especially in Solar, ESCO, and renewable technologies."
A recent survey by Talent Technology reveals that 63.4% of respondents see signs of economic pressure letting up within their organization in 2012, and 51.4% expect to increase in size within the next 12 months (by about 12%).
The Vistage CEO Survey reported the largest quarterly gain in confidence since 2009 as of Q4, and the employment picture in 2012 is looking rosy. Starting off the year with strong signs of improvement in the economy, hiring too is on the rise. The Q4 2011 CEO Confidence Index reported 94 percent of CEOs expecting their firm's total number of employees to increase or remain the same in the next year.

Heading to Lambeau Field on Monday? RedEye spoke with two Packers fans living in Chicago to learn the do's and don'ts for Bears fans in Green Bay.
Tony Lonien: Lifelong Packers fan and lifelong Chicagoan. Regular Lambeau attendee, including each of the past five seasons. @allday427
Keith Hoehne: Lifelong Packers fan who grew up in Wisconsin and moved to Chicago in 2011. Has attended 17 games at Lambeau. Writes No Off-Season blog on ChicagoNow. @keithhoehne
What are the must-sees and do's about Lambeau Field and Green Bay?
TONY LONIEN: Let's be frank: there is not a lot to do in Green Bay. I highly doubt a Bears fan would enjoy going to the Packers Hall of Fame. Stop by Curly's Pub though—a definite stop to grab some grub. The cheddar ale and bratwurst soup is even better than it sounds. The oink and moo burger has six slices of double smoked bacon, and maple-infused ketchup. I also hear the Wal-Mart at 2292 Main St. is a spectacle to be seen.
Tailgate. Public drinking is not just accepted but encouraged. You can drink all the way up to the gate. If you need a brat, zip up your jacket to cover your Bears jersey, and step up to anyone grilling and give them the "Discount Double Check." Works every time. If it's a little chilly Monday night before kickoff, stop in to Stadium View directly across from Lambeau Field. Stadium View gets a little crowded after the game, but the Green Bay Distillery usually has open seats.
Do not expect good service anywhere you go in Green Bay. It's a small town, and they never seem to be able to keep up with the increase in patrons during home game weekends.
KEITH HOEHNE: If you have time, get there well before the game and just walk around the stadium (the parking lot, Brown County Arena, The Hutson Center, and nearby neighborhoods) because the whole area just goes nuts! It's the only professional stadium I know of that is in the middle of a residential neighborhood. The area takes on the feel of a college campus.
Recommended restaurants, all of which are a short walk from the stadium: Curly's Pub (inside Lambeau), Brett Favre's Steakhouse, Stadium View Bar and Grill, Andruzzi's Sports Club, Sideline Sports Bar.
What is the best/safest way for Bears fans to enjoy the rivalry at Lambeau?
LONIEN: When watching a game in an opponent's house, always stay humble. Cheer on your team, but don't talk smack. Especially to a team you haven't beaten in three years. Packers fans are not malicious. If you don't egg them on, you'll be safe anywhere in the stadium.
When I watched the game at Soldier Field last year, I told my girlfriend it was a business trip. Instead of hooting and hollering after big plays or scores by the Packers, we would give each other handshakes. Keep it professional. It's actually a fun way to celebrate.
HOEHNE: I know this sounds corny, but the best and safest way to enjoy yourself is to just respect where you are. You are at Lambeau Field! It's one of the greatest sports venues of all time! Embrace the atmosphere. Look at the statues of Lambeau and Lombardi, read the plaques in the atrium about all the great games that have taken place there. The worst thing you can do at a place like Lambeau is to take it for granted.
Is there any particular area of Lambeau that Bears fans should avoid for fear of their safety?
LONIEN: If you're a Bears fan heading north of the border this weekend, fear not. Green Bay folks are very hospitable, even to Bears fans. You will hear the chant of, "The Bears still suck," heading into the game. Aside from that, soak up football. It doesn't get much better than these two teams at the (not quite yet) frozen tundra.
HOEHNE: If you respect the rivalry and the game, there is no dangerous area at or around Lambeau. Football is taken very seriously and like any fan in any city, arrogant and drunk fans of the rival team do not do well. But if you are kind to us, we will be kind to you. So wear your Bears stuff and cheer for your team. You will have a fun and safe time.

Have not had this type of sandwich for long. We used to have sandwich rolls made with Lebanese bread often when we were in Sydney. T loved to have veges sandwich for his lunch box, something similar to what I made for lunch yesterday. As we ate, we talked about our life in Sydney... it brought back those sweet moments we spent together. Life was not as good as now, but it was those days that brought our hearts closer. Sydney, how we missed you!
Chapatti is usually served together with vegetable or meat curry as staple meal for North Indians. I used to serve it that way too, but now I prefer to have chapatti sandwich. I liked the slightly crusty outside (bread) and crunchy veges inside with the kick of mustard.
Mama's Talk: I thought this bread would be a bit too hard for my 15 month-old boy so I prepared egg sandwiches with normal loaf for him, along with some halved grape tomatoes and pitted black olive. Suprised to see him gobbled up grape tomatoes and olives one after another. I am glad that he ate them, was expecting him to spit out after tasting.
It is so easy to make chapatti at home, and it can be served in many ways such as:
- Serve with curry
- Make into sandwiches
- Serve with salsa (instead of corn chips)
Ingredients (makes 6):1 cup atta flour
½ tbsp cooking oil
Enough water to make dough
1 tsp sugar (optional)
Pinch of salt
- In a large mixing bowl, bring together all ingredients with fingers then knead to form soft dough.
- Divide and shape dough into 6 small balls. Cover with damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes or so.
- On lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into 15cm circle.
- Shake off excess flour, cook in preheated non-stick pan with low heat. When the colour has changed slightly, turn it over.
- When brown blisters are formed and some parts started to balloon up, use a potato masher or anything is available to press the bread on and off so the bread will be cooked evenly and balloon up nicely.
- Transfer ballooned chapatti onto rack, serve warm.

Quote Please_listen:Quote YR2013:Quote Please_listen: Jack looks for more opportunties to go after vic than anyone. When he was with Nikki, engaged to be married, he had Jabot all to his self, and what does he do. Come after vic and NE, by trying to take over BON, then he goes and offers Vic's daughter a job, knowing how that would make Vic feel.
Jack is not going to do anything wait til the perfect opportunity and stick it to Vic holding as much stock as he does in that company.
Knowing that and teaming up with jack anyway, doesn't seem like to me what it does to everyone else here.
IMO, that's not true because ole man Victor is always looking to stick it to Jack.
Excuse me, but when Jack and Nikki were together, Vic was doing anything against Jack, he had Jabot back and Nikki and still went after NE, and BON, and trying to get Vic's daughter to work for him just to stick to Vic.
and what about Jack using a sick Vic to get that company fromm Phyl and Nikki, he manipulated a child like Vic for his own agenda, and Vic wasn't even capable of defending himself. So you may want to research their encounters before you speak on them.
Jack and Victor war goes way back, not just a few years. The two of them will be waring until this soap ends. So thanks, but I'm well aware of the Jack and Victor war. You can defend Victor as much as you would like to and bypass all the horrid things he's done to Jack and to his own family, but I won't. I don't have to defend any character wrongful act. If they do it, they are responsible for it(unless they are mentally ill/unaware etc), I don't need to defend it. Have a good evening. Happy posting.

Series of Atmospheric Rivers Strike West Coast: Forecasters and Researchers Focus on Flood-Producing Storms
January 7, 2011
Dave Reynolds, meteorologist-in-charge of the National Weather Service's (NWS) San Francisco Weather Forecast Office (WFO), said NWS operational forecasters were well prepared for these events in part because of enhanced awareness and improved understanding of the role of ARs. Reynolds recently presented an online briefing to NWS Western Region staff on the AR phenomenon and related scientific advances. These advances, led by NOAA's Physical Sciences Division (PSD) in Boulder, Colo., were conducted under HMT, and used modern satellite and other observational tools to reveal the importance of ARs to both flooding and water supply in the region.
The first of these storms produced up to 11 inches of rain in the mountains of western Washington and localized flooding from Dec. 10-12. The second set of storms produced more than 25 inches of rain in the San Bernardino Mountains of southern California from Dec. 17-22, and upwards of 10-15 feet of snow in the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains (see map of 14-day observed precipitation - Fig. 1). In addition to flooding in Washington and California, these storms produced 16 inches of rainfall in the mountains of southern Utah. Flooding along the Virgin River in southern Utah caused serious property damage and damage to the earthen Trees Branch Dam along the Virgin River near Springdale, Utah.
In the case of the southern California and Utah areas, a strong AR stalled in the region for several days (see Fig. 2), providing an apparent connection to tropical water vapor near Hawaii (which also experienced flooding).
As part of NOAA's standard procedures for issuing precipitation and stream flow forecasts, quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPF) were produced in a collaborative effort between the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center (HPC), the Northwest River Forecast Center (NWRFC), the California River Forecast Center (CNRFC), and the local NWS WFOs in the region. These QPFs were then transformed into quantitative stream flow forecasts for key watersheds by the CNRFC and NWRFC.
While key aspects of these forecasts were quite accurate, gaps remain in predicting the exact timing, location and amounts of precipitation. Also, uncertainty remains about the fate of ARs in a changing climate (stronger/weaker; more or less frequent, etc...), and thus research continues on ARs and their associated impacts.
After months of preparation, and with project support from NOAA's Office of Hydrologic Development, the California Energy Commission (CEC), the U.S. Weather Research Program (USWRP), and California's Department of Water Resources (CA-DWR), engineers and scientists were sent into the storms to make unique observations with experimental radars, weather balloons and other sensors, while state-of-the-art numerical models provided detailed forecasts.
This experiment is part of ongoing HMT research, combined with a related study of the climate implications of ARs (called "CalWater"). CalWater, a project jointly sponsored by the CEC and NOAA, is studying how well ARs are represented in climate models, and how might AR amplitudes, frequencies, and locations vary in a changing climate.
"These data will advance understanding of the interaction of ARs with the mountains of the West Coast and to help develop advanced tools for predicting related heavy precipitation and flooding," said Marty Ralph, chief of PSD's Water Cycle Branch. Some of the experimental models and observations can be seen real-time on the HMT-West 2011 project page. Ralph's group also recently launched a site for additional information about atmospheric rivers.
By the time the first storms hit the Washington Coast Dec. 10-12, QPFs produced by HPC (Fig 3a) provided good guidance that heavy rain was on its way, and the river hydrographs then produced by NWRFC gave ample warning for the flooding that ensued. HPC, NOAA's Environmental Modeling Center (EMC), NWRFC, and Seattle WFO produced specialized precipitation and hydrologic forecasts for many western Washington river basins including the Green River Basin near Seattle because of the limited flood prevention capability provided by the damaged Howard A. Hanson Dam. A video was taken on Dec. 12 of the flooding that occurred on the Stillaquamish River at Granite Falls, Washington.
On Dec. 17, when central and southern California were hit by the next series of powerful storms, weather forecasters were armed with a similar set of tools from HPC, EMC and CNRFC, including remarkable precipitation forecasts (Figs. 3b and 3c) of more than 10 inches in 72 hours for both Dec. 17-20 and Dec. 20-23.
Experts noted the strong connection of this AR to tropical water vapor supply in and around the Hawaiian islands, where 6-9 inches of rain fell from Dec. 19-20 with Honolulu reporting 6.5 inches. Hawaii often experiences heavy rain during La Niña winters, but it is unusual for southern California to experience such heavy rain events during La Niña. It is likely that the persistence of this event was aided by a strong negative Arctic Oscillation (AO) that can contribute to strong blocking or persistence of upper level troughs and ridges contributing to anomalous weather. Therefore, the combination of the La Niña and negative AO likely contributed to this low latitude and persistent AR pattern in southern California and may also help to explain why Europe experienced severe travel restrictions because of heavy snow.
Satellite techniques that are used to monitor ARs over the oceans do not work well over land, and no regular measurements of winds in ARs over the ocean are made today. Thus, NOAA researchers are installing a permanent 21st century observing network across California that will help monitor ARs as they strike the coast and move inland, by measuring both winds and water vapor. Initial sites in this network already are providing data that can be compared with forecast models, which allows for adjustments in predictions of the strength and position of the ARs, conditions that are crucial to determining when and where the most extreme precipitation will occur.
This project, sponsored by the CA-DWR, also involves atmospheric and hydrologic modeling, specialized display systems, and the development of decision support tools. Building on lessons learned by the HMT in California, a smaller but similar set of instrumentation also has been installed temporarily in western Washington to aid forecasters in dealing with AR-driven extreme events in that region.

Jessie J Slated to Star in Paul Potts Biopic
Jessie J has powerhouse pipes, and she'll put them to use in what's rumored to be her big screen debut. The 'Price Tag' singer is lined up to star in the biopic of 'Britain's Got Talent' winner Paul Potts.
Jessie J will star alongside fellow Brits James Corden and 'Harry Potter' starlet Julie Walters in 'One Chance,' the story of Potts' meteoric rise from cell phone salesman to opera star. She's set to play Potts' best friend's girlfriend.
"Producers know she works great on camera from being on 'The Voice,'" a source told The Daily Mirror (via Capital FM). "The script looks set to be hilarious, too – it's really cleverly written and has a typically British sense of humor to it. Even though Jessie's primarily a singer, she has a real talent for acting, too."
Indeed, we've seen a smidgen of Jessie J's acting from when she was younger (check her out in her high school play), and we were pretty impressed!
She's not the only star who's been attached to the Paul Potts project. Katy Perry and Adele were said to be considered for the role of Potts' girlfriend in the film. We can't even imagine all the wigs that set would see! (Side note, but how stunning does she look with the softer, more natural looking hairstyle and color she's sporting here? Jessie, keep this — you look amazing!)
In the meantime, Jessie's been working on her second album. If it has any tracks like 'Domino' on it, we're stoked to hear it!

SJ6275 : Trent and Mersey Canal, Saltersford Moorings
taken 6 years ago, near to Barnton, Cheshire, Great Britain
Trent and Mersey Canal
The Trent and Mersey Canal is 93·5 miles in length from Derwent Mouth to Preston Brook. The first cut was made by Josiah Wedgwood in July 1766 at Middleport (Stoke-on-Trent). The eastern section between Derwent Mouth and Shugborough (the junction with the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal) was already operational by 1770 and the whole canal through to Preston Brook, where it linked with the Bridgewater Canal was open for business by 1777. James Brindley was the engineer until his death in 1772. There are seventy-six locks en route to raise and lower the water level where hills impede the course. There are four tunnels, including the famous Harecastle Tunnel near Stoke-on-Trent.

Scene & Heard: Grand Prix "Yellow Party"
Melissa and Larry Hawes, Allison Auman and Beccy Hunter-Reay Just-right summer temperatures seemed almost a given at the Yellow Party Baltimore, which looked to be a perfect confluence of people, place and purpose. The event -- benefiting the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults, LIVESTRONG and Racing for Cancer -- was a social highlight of the Grand Prix of Baltimore, mixing local and visiting VIPS, officials and racing teams in the R2integrated offices high above the Inner Harbor." "It's awesome. It's not that often that three charities can come together and share an event," said Beccy Hunter-Reay, who co-hosted the event with husband and IndyCar race car driver Ryan Hunter-Reay. "But we have a common goal. It's a perfect welcome party for the race." "I like meeting all the people who are here, and all the interaction. This is a big race for us," said Ryan Hunter-Reay. "When you're not from Baltimore and you're looking out at the water, it's pretty neat," said Tom Vossman, who co-founded Racing for the Cure with Hunter-Reay two years ago. I love the mix of people and these offices," said Lou Catelli, 27 Proof founder. "It's an amazing combination of people," said Doug Ulman, Ulman Cancer fund co-founder, as he watched about a dozen race car drivers mingle in the crowd of 200. "People make the party. Great people, great cause," observed Michael Andretti, Andretti Autosport CEO. "You get people who race hard, party hard and fight cancer hard," said Brock Yetso, Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults president/CEO. "It's a great group. It's a great event. And you can see the racetrack from here. You can't beat it," said Matt Goddard, R2integrated CEO. At least a few of those folks there were also celebrating what would soon be happening on that track. "It's great to come into town and see everyone organized. Things are going well. If it wasn't for J.P. Grant, this race wouldn't have happened," said Randy Bernard, IndyCar CEO, referring to the managing partner of Race On, the local group that stepped in just three months ago to make the race happen. "I'm ecstatic that in 90 days we were able to pull this off. Most people can't pull off a wedding in 90 days," said J.P. Grant with a big grin. -- Sloane Brown

A shell-shocked Fernandinho apologised to the Brazilian people and called on his team-mates to restore a tiny bit of pride by winning the third-place playoff.
Brazil suffered their most humiliating defeat in history on Tuesday night when they were hammered 7-1 by Germany in the semi-finals of their own World Cup.
There was an outpouring of anger towards the Selecao from the Brazilian people, who were convinced their team could lift the World Cup on home soil at the second time of asking.
Fernandinho, visibly shocked by the comprehensive nature of the defeat, was at a loss to explain how Brazil collapsed in such a humiliating fashion afterwards.
The only words he could mutter were apologetic ones.
"I'm not sure how long it will take for me to get over this. This pain is big, big," the Manchester City midfielder said.
"The people wanted a good result, a win, the title, but we lost in the semi-final and all we can do is say sorry."
Brazil's hopes of making the final were dashed within half an hour as their defence imploded, allowing Germany to race 5-0 ahead.
Fernandinho was one of the worst offenders in the Brazil team.
The 29-year-old was supposed to protect Brazil's back four from the likes of Bastian Schweinsteiger, Sami Khedira and Toni Kroos, but those three players ran amok and before Brazil knew it, it was game over.
"The first half was unbelievable," Fernandinho added.
"Incredible things happened out there. We can try for the rest of our lives to explain what happened, but we won't find the words.
"I've never experienced anything like that in my life."
Brazil thought it was their destiny to reach the World Cup final in their spiritual home - the Maracana - but instead they will play in the third-place playoff on Saturday.
Finishing third in a World Cup is a dubious honour, but Fernandinho thinks it is still important for Brazil to win the match in Brasilia.
"The best way for us now is to try to finish in third position," said the midfielder, whose mother and wife were among the stunned crowd in the Mineiro.
"The most important thing now is the psychological recovery. We have to recover for Saturday, to play to finish the World Cup in the best way we can.
"We have three or four days to take some rest and think just about the next game."

OKE firstname.lastname@example.com 1821
The ELLIOT/ELLIOTT family provides a typical example of how extensive these Canadian connections could become. (6) Agnes DARK of Parkham married John ELLIOT/ELLIOTT, a farmer of Lopthorne in Morwenstow (Cornwall) at Parkham in 1821.
John 74 and Agnes 75 Hope Township 1871 census district 051a5 family 036
John and Agnes ELLIOT/ELLIOTT, his widowed mother Catherine, two younger brothers Henry (bap. 1809) and James (bap.1806) and sister Harriett (bap.1811) later moved to Bucks in Parkham where John was listed in 1829 as occupying the mill.
Henry, after learning the trade of miller at Bucks, sailed for Port Hope, Ontario, on the 4th May 1831, in the Bollina and after arriving in Canada married another Devonshire emigrant, Mary OKE of Bradworthy, by whom he had seven children.
Henry 62 and wife Mary 59 Darlington Township 1871 census district 050a3 family 178
John and Agnes ELLIOT/ELLIOTT emigrated to Port Hope probably between 1831 and 1834.
Harriet ELLIOT/ELLIOTT married William BRAUND at Woolsery in 1836 and later emigrated to Port Hope taking their first two children, Keziah and William Henry with them.
William 66 and Harriett 60 Port Hope Town 1871 census district 051b2 family 270
James ELLIOT/ELLIOTT married Sarah PENNEY in Woolsery in 1836 and they too emigrated to Port Hope, where they had 8 children.
James 64 and Sarah 59 Hope Township 1871 census district 051a2 family 028
At some, probably early point, Catherine, the widow, joined the rest of her family in Canada.
Following Harriet BRAUND's death on the 22nd October 1891 the Port Hope Weekly Guide reported that no less than 26 individuals called ELLIOT/ELLIOTT attended her funeral, all of them related.
All these families appear to have prospered in Canada. Henry ELLIOT/ELLIOTT, who became the very prosperous owner of a large mill in Hampton, Ontario, a Justice of the Peace and treasurer of his local council. (7) He died at Hampton on the 20th March 1905 aged 95 years, 9 months.
William BRAUND "the first saltwater sailor to settle in Port Hope," became the owner and operator of the 122 ton schooner Sarah which sailed Lake Ontario.
(8) John and James Elliott became farmers.
One of the most striking features of the emigration is that many of the migrants departed not from the Atlantic ports of Plymouth and Bristol but from Appledore and Bideford. When, in 1831, the Apollo, Calypso and Bacchus, bound for New York, St. Andrews and Montreal left from Bideford some 5000 people were reported as lining the Quay and Long Bridge to wave farewell.
(9) For farewell it was.

It's unclear why the 1999 Honda veered off eastbound Highway 92 around 9:40 p.m. near the Foster City Boulevard exit, but so far there are no obvious signs alcohol was a factor, said California Highway Patrol Officer Art Montiel. Intoxicated driving has not, however, been completely ruled out.
The boys, aged 12 and 16, killed in the crash were riding in the back seat with their 18-year-old brother Jesus Reynaga-Reyes, who was rushed to Stanford hospital with major injuries. Authorities said all three lived in Redwood City, but didn't release the boys' names. It wasn't immediately clear where the vehicle was going.
Montiel said they are sure one person — front seat passenger Eduardo Zaragoza, 18, of San Mateo — was wearing a seat belt. He walked away from the crash with minor injuries. Officers were trying to confirm whether the others were belted in.
The passenger who was not injured is believed to be a cousin of the driver, 21-year-old Juan Pablo Zaragoza Hernandez, authorities said.
It appears the vehicle first struck a guardrail, rolled over and then hit a light pole and finally a roadside utility box. The crash is under investigation.
It is the third crash to kill multiple members of the a family on Peninsula freeways since November. In the first, two sisters died on Highway 101 near Palo Alto while driving home to San Bruno after a marathon night of Black Friday shopping. Then Dec. 14 a sister, brother and mother from Santa Clara were killed on the side of Interstate 280. They ended up on the road shoulder after getting a flat tire.

NEW YPRK (AP) — So much has changed since we last heard from "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations," a decade ago.
Barack Obama was a state legislator. Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasilla. Steve Jobs had just introduced a portable music player called the iPod.
And digital books were a relic from the dot-com bubble.
The 18th edition of the venerable reference work has just been released, the first for the electronic age and a chance to take in some of the new faces, events and catchphrases of the past 10 years. General editor Geoffrey O'Brien says he has expanded upon the trend set by his predecessor, Justin Kaplan, of incorporating popular culture into an anthology once known for classical citations. Shakespeare and the Bible still reign, but room also has been made for Madonna and Michael Moore, Justin Timberlake and Jon Stewart.
"I also added a great many quotes that originated in other languages. So I would say the new edition has a more international scope," says O'Brien, an author and critic and editor in chief of the Library of America, which publishes hardcover volumes of canonical American authors.
Little, Brown and Company hopes the new Bartlett's will appeal both as an old-fashioned coffee table hardcover, some 1,400 pages, and as an ultra-portable digital reference guide. Instead of releasing an e-book edition, the publisher has developed an app that does not simply replicate the printed book, but makes it ideal for digital devices and easy to share on Facebook or Twitter.
Dozens of employees spent months working on the app, according to Brian Singh, mobile analyst for Little, Brown's parent company, Hachette Book Group. Some 20,000 quotations were categorized so those looking for a quick quote — say a love poem for a wedding speech — could simply search the word "love." The app costs $3.99 and does not include any extra material, but it does have a digital feature, Quoto, which allows users to take a favorite citation, set it against a backdrop of choice and post it online.
For the hardcover, O'Brien said he removed some old poetry and forgotten phrases to make room for about 2,500 new quotes, including several from the Iraq War. Among them are President George W. Bush's call to "Bring 'em on" in response to possible uprisings from insurgents and his declaration that he was the "the decider." The Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines is mentioned for her on-stage remark that she was "ashamed" Bush was from Texas, as is Moore's Academy Award acceptance speech when he criticized the war and called Bush a "fictitious president."
Seven Obama quotations are listed, from his campaign slogan "Yes, we can!" to his announcement that U.S. special forces had killed Osama bin Laden. Palin's entry includes the quip from her speech at the 2008 Republican convention that the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull was "lipstick." Job's dying words, "Wow, oh wow," are among four citations for the late Apple CEO, including a 1987 comment that "It's more fun to be a pirate than to join the Navy."
Others in Bartlett's for the first time: Christopher Hitchens ("Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake"); David Foster Wallace ("Make no mistake: irony tyrannizes us"), Stewart (his nightly signoff, "Here it is ... your moment of Zen"), Timberlake (his apology for Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show).
Barlett's is home to polished aphorisms and unintentional history: Bill Clinton's "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky"; Oscar winner's Sally Field's cry that "You like me!"; Obama's comments at a private fundraiser that some rural residents "cling to guns or religion." Some quotes originate from tragedy: Rodney King's plea, "Can we all get along?", as Los Angeles burned during the 1992 riots; Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer calling out "Let's roll" as he led an uprising against Sept. 11, 2001 hijackers.
The credentials for Bartlett's are admittedly arbitrary: Space concerns, individual tastes and the uncertain definition of the word "familiar" make the book an invaluable excuse for an argument.
Larry David is in, but not Aaron Sorkin; P.J. O'Rourke, not Maureen Dowd; Jerry Seinfeld and Steve Martin, not George Carlin or Richard Pryor. The many expressions popularized on "Saturday Night Live," from "Talk amongst yourselves" to "Well, excuuuuuse me!" were not mentioned. Among novelists, Richard Powers is in, but not Jonathan Franzen; Colson Whitehead, not Michael Chabon.
"I am sure that twelve different well-informed people would come up with twelve different lists of people (and more importantly of specific quotations) left out, and I am sure some of these will be strong candidates for inclusion in the next edition," O'Brien said.
Among songwriting entries, excerpts appear from Lou Reed's lyrics for "All Tomorrow's Parties" and "Heroin," but not from the more famous "Walk On the Wild Side." The Beach Boys' "Caroline, No" gets a mention, but not such anthems as "Surfin' U.S.A." and "Good Vibrations." Kurt Cobain's entry omits "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in favor of "Stay Away" and "Serve the Servants."
For movies, two quotes are included from Robert Towne's "Chinatown" screenplay, but not the immortal closing line, "Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown." One of just two entries for Nora Ephron is "I'll have what she's having," the joke from "When Harry Met Sally ..." that is widely credited to Billy Crystal. Among the favorites left out: "Well, nobody's perfect," the kicker from "Some Like it Hot"; Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Terminator" catchphrase "I'll be back"; the courtroom explosion "You can't handle the truth!" from "A Few Good Men."
"Certain lines strike me as 'familiar for being familiar' — 'You can't handle the truth' being one of them, as I can see little originality or singularity in it," O'Brien said. "The price of compactness is a certain amount of arbitrary exclusion."

Fighting germs in public restrooms
I am not a big fan of germs. I know, who is, right? But I'm worse than the norm. Fortunately, I'm not at the point where germs consume my every thought, but I probably pay more attention to them than other people.
And that makes public restrooms a bit more stressful for me than the average person.
It took me a long time before I could convince myself to actually use public restrooms. When I go into them, I am always very conscious about what I am touching. And as silly as it may seem, I also try to be careful of how much I am breathing when I'm in there, in an attempt to breath in the least number of germs as possible.
And being a bit of a germaphobe, I appreciate the attempts that these places make at keeping public restrooms as sanitary as possible. Technology has been a big help over the years, making many things in the bathroom process automated.
My preferred public restroom would be one that you wouldn't have to touch anything with your hands. Many restrooms come close, but I don't think I've ever been in one that fully qualifies.
For example, automatic flushing toilets have been around forever, and a good number of bathrooms have them. Even if they don't, while it occasionally requires some acrobatic ability, it's usually common to be able to flush without using your hands. So we're good there.
Another common thing is the automatic faucet. These are great, in theory, because all you have to do is put your hands under the faucet and they turn on automatically.
Only it never quite works that way. It always kind of feels like an episode of "Candid Camera" in there. You'll put your hands under one faucet, and it won't turn on. So you move to the next one, and the one you were just at turns on. So you go back to that one, and the one two sinks down comes on. The one you choose never seems to actually work.
But when you do find one that works, you run into one of the first problems in most bathrooms — the soap dispenser. In most bathrooms, you have to touch the dispenser to get soap to come out. This isn't a huge deal, because you are washing your hands immediately after touching it.
But some bathrooms have solved this problem, by installing automatic soap dispensers. I encountered my first one at Ford Field in Detroit a few months ago, and it is quite possibly one of the greatest things ever. And unlike the automatic sinks, it actually works.
So now your hands are washed, it's time to dry them off. This is where a number of bathrooms fail. Public restrooms have a lot of different options for drying your hands. Many have the blow dryer, which generally blows cold air and would require you to stand there for about 374 days before your hands were actually dry.
Others have the paper towel dispenser, which requires you to touch the handle to make it work, kind of defeating the whole purpose of you washing your hands in the first place.
But many have moved to the "wave your hand in front of it" automatic paper towel dispensers. I'm a big fan of these as well, because obviously, you don't have to touch it. It's debatable just how often these actually work correctly, but when they do, it's great.
So let's say you have found a public restroom that has automatic toilets, sinks, soap and towels. Congratulations, you have found quite possibly the most sanitary public restroom there is. But there's one problem, which I have encountered at every bathroom I've ever been in that fits into this category.
You always have to ***pull the door to open it. Seriously? You went through all this trouble to make sure people didn't have to touch anything, and yet we still have to touch the one thing with arguably the most germs on it in the entire room? Why can't these places prop the door open, or make it so you can push to open it?
So I have yet to find the perfect public restroom. Maybe I'm better off not using them at all.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- A majority of Americans believe the Republican Party doesn't understand the problems and concerns of women, a CNN poll released Friday indicates.
Fifty-five percent of all respondents say the GOP doesn't understand women, while 59 percent of women surveyed and 64 percent of women respondents over age 50 believe the same, results show.
"That last number is intriguing, since older women are more likely to vote Republican than younger women. Yet younger women don't have as much of a problem with the GOP on this measure," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said.
"That suggests that the problem women have with the Republican Party may be related less to the policy positions the GOP takes and more related to the attitudes behind those policies and the tone the party takes when addressing them," he added.
"When you look at our position on issues, a lot of times majority of Americans agree with our positions," Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington, the highest-ranking female Republican in the U.S. House, told CNN. "But it's the way that we talk about it that doesn't resonate and we have to do a better job. I think it's fair to say there have been some comments which are offensive and they're not representative of the entire Republican Party."
"There's more work to be done. Republicans are good at speaking from our head about facts and figures. We also need to speak from our heart and make sure people know that we care," said McMorris Rodgers, who delivered the GOP response to President Obama's State of the Union address last week.
Sixty-three percent of all Americans and 62 percent of American women said the Democratic Party understands women, results showed.
The telephone poll of 1,010 adults nationwide conducted Jan. 31 to Feb. 2 for CNN by ORC International has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

Tandberg puts DiskStor library on books
Virtual tape teaser
Tandberg Data is continuing its migration to becoming a disk and tape-based data protection vendor with the addition of a DiskStor virtual tape library to its product range next quarter.
With echoes of QuikStor, its RDX removable disk media product, in the name, the DiskStor D-Series is being previewed at Cebit in Hanover. We're told it will be a cheap and cost-effective way of backing up remote office computers, laptops and desktops to a centrally-located system which fits straight into existing backup software processes and environments.
Up to 100 host data machines can be supported and they get the obvious benefits of a VTL, such as fast backup and restoration of files. Sixty-four hosts can use the DiskStor concurrently.
The DiskStor is said to complement tape-based backup with that being used for longer-term storage of backed-up data off-site. DiskStor will be available in a range of configurations and be scalable. Tandberg knows it has to move into disk, as that is a growing market whereas the tape protection market is no longer growing - its customer base is the small and medium business sector.
No mention is made of deduplication, but data reduction is needed as much by Tandberg Data's VTL customers as anyone else. A high-end compression facility offering an up 10:21 compression ratio will be included instead of deduplication. Tandberg has looked at dedupe but has reservations about how a deduping DiskStor would integrate with its tape heritage products, particularly on the restore side.
Currently Tandberg's disk storage product is the network-attached storage (NAS) StorageCab 6000, a 2U rackmount box running Windows Storage Server 2003 and offering 1.6-4.5TB of SATA disk storage accessed over gigE, Fibre Channel or iSCSI. It is a simple NAS box with basic RAID, using 400GB or 750GB SATA Drives, and said to be useful for file sharing, storage consolidation, replication, backup and recovery by SMBs.
Given that 1TB SATA is now readily available and 2TB is coming, we can envisage a revamped StorageCab as the DiskStor base with, say, 3 to 10TB of capacity. But that would be wrong. In fact we understand DiskStor will leverage a SuperMicro platform with consistent 1U, 2U and 3U form factors. These have a Xyratex RAID system storage expansion module attached with 3.5-inch SATA drives inside. SFF (2.5-inch) drive technology was considered but the cost-effectiveness of the product is key and the lower cost/GB of the 3.5-inch drives won the day.
The VTL functionality is coming through a partnership with CrossRoads Systems which is said by Tandberg to be well known for the extreme reliability of its data path management. It has a Virtual TapeServer product which may be involved.
Tandberg will leverage this DiskStor platform, SuperMicro plus Xyratex RAID and disk, to launch a revamped StorageCab a few months after DiskStor's launch.
The company will use Cebit to let channel partners have a look at DiskStor and say what they think about the product. There is no shortage of VTL suppliers and the recession is here so the onus is on Tandberg to come up with a cracking product. Cebit-based fine-tuning will help it do that.
Moving on to mainframe VTLs
At the other end of the VTL spectrum, Bus-Tech has announced the interoperability of its Mainframe Data Library (MDL) with Quantum's DXi7500 disk-based backup, deduplication and replication system. The combined offering provides a single combined backup vehicle for both mainframe and open system server environments.
BusTech says its MDL was tested with Quantum's DXi7500 in dual FICON and ESCON configurations and connected to the DXi7500 via NFS. It is currently in the process of certifying interoperability via a direct interface to the DXi7500's VTL engine.
The two companies say that data centre managers are now able to combine open system and mainframe servers into a single, unified backup process where the two have historically been separated. Doing so simplifies data backup for such data centres and should reduce the overall data protection cost.
Both BusTech and Quantum hope that data centre managers with mixed Wintel/Lintel servers and mainframe environments will see the worth in combining the two traditionally separate backup environments and being able to deduplicate the resulting backup files with a single product technology, resulting in a potentially large disk capacity saving. They also hope the ability to replicate the backup files to remote sites will appeal too, with the total offer enabling BusTech and Quantum to start making inroads into IBM and StorageTek mainframe VTL customer bases. ®

A cornerstone of a SLU LAW education is the ability to provide service to others, while gaining practical, hands-on legal training. On a recent Saturday morning, students and faculty embodied the Jesuit mission to serve those who have provided the epitome of service to our country.
On Nov. 3, 2012 Saint Louis University School of Law participated in the annual Stand Down for Homeless Veterans in downtown St. Louis. Now in its 17th year, the event provides services to homeless veterans such as food, shelter, clothing, health screenings, Veteran's Affairs (VA) and Social Security benefits counseling, and referrals to a variety of other necessary services, such as housing, employment and substance abuse treatment.
Led by Assistant Clinical Professor Brendan Roediger and Assistant Professor Yvette Liebesman, 22 SLU LAW students volunteered their time and legal training to assist approximately 80 veterans.
"The vast majority of veterans come to the Stand Down because of minor outstanding warrants from traffic tickets or 'quality of life' offenses such as loitering," said Roediger. "We also see a fair number of family law, consumer law and VA benefits cases. The cases are then divided between the Clinic and local attorney Paul Simms to resolve."
For the student volunteers, the day's experience reminded them of the need to take care of those that have given so much of themselves in defense and service to the country.
"Many of them just need a little help," said Chelsea Harris, a third-year student. "This event was yet another reason that I am proud to be a SLU LAW student and be given the opportunity to help people in need while solidifying my legal skills."
Veterans told the volunteers stories about their service and personal lives. Even when discussing their hardships, they spoke of hope and optimism for the future.
"I think the importance of the Stand Down is one of the great goals about SLU LAW: to engage and assist the people in our community," said Ainsley Bochniak, a third-year student. "I think it is very important for students and professors alike to stay connected with the community and remember that our legal education can truly do some good."
SLU LAW has embraced veterans in another way this year, with the development of the Veteran Students Association (VSA). The mission of the VSA is to foster a community, within the larger School of Law community, that is supportive of former, current and future military members, and their dependents, family and friends.
As a military veteran with 11 ½ years of service, third-year student Diane Todd was motivated to start the VSA to bring the military bond and support system into the law school for students and their families when their military service pulls them apart temporarily. There are approximately 20 veterans currently attending SLU LAW.
"I recognize how encouraging it can be to know you have a group of people that have something in common with you rooting for you to succeed and to help pick you up again when you are down," said Todd, Master Sergeant (E-7) Air Force and active duty member of the Utah Air National Guard."I thought the law school needed that for veterans and for their families."
A second goal of the VSA is to assist students to achieve the training and accreditation they need to effectively assist homeless veterans apply for disability benefits.
Many veterans find it difficult to get the disability benefits they are entitled to for injuries sustained during service. Homeless veterans are at high risk of not receiving those benefits for a plethora of reasons: lack of knowledge, no phone or address at which they may be reached throughout the disability claims process, inability to make a claim due to traumatic brain injury or other mentally disabling injury or a lack of assistance to properly make the claim.
"The intent is to provide a sorely needed service to homeless veterans, in a sustainable manner that can be carried through from year to year, as the claims and award process can take several years in some cases," said Todd. "We also want to teach students valuable skills that they can carry through practice whether for pro bono representation or for practice of veteran disability law."
Though it's a new and small organization, VSA has kept quite busy in its first semester. In addition to members who volunteered for the Stand Down, the group held a yellow-ribbon event, chartered a party bus for organization awareness (and to let off a bit of steam) and are in the initial stages of organizing a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder awareness series. They also hope to start the training process to become accredited veteran disability claims representatives in spring 2013, with training open to all SLU students, regardless of degree path.
The School of Law continues to foster a supportive community environment and provides tangible opportunities for students to see the law - and the power of what the law can do - by placing them in positions to help real people in real situations. And, in a small way, to say thank you to the men and women who so bravely serve and served our country.

ADP Lightspeed Offers Credit Checks on DMS
October 28, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on ADP Lightspeed Offers Credit Checks on DMS
ADP Lightspeed, a provider of dealer management systems (DMS), today (Oct. 28) announced integration that allows dealers to run credit checks within the LightspeedEVO Dealer Management System. Credit Check gives dealers the ability to submit customer information to all three credit bureaus without have to re-enter information, according to a news release.
"In today's difficult financing environment it is critical to handle deals correctly to secure the financing customers need. With integrated Credit Check, LightspeedEVO allows sales and F&I representatives to pull credit information early on in the deal process. This provides the sales representative the ability to make critical adjustments that will help increase the chances of a closed sale and makes it easier for F&I management to determine an appropriate lender," the release stated.
"Savvy dealers know they can make more money if they understand financing," said Chris Hauck, product manager at ADP Lightspeed. "It is important for the customer and the sales team to understand what is achievable. This vital information helps dealers speed up the sales process and avoid disappointing customers with finance declines."
Along with the ability to check customer credit scores, the information can also be passed through a credit gateway for contracting companies to search for financing. Since the information is pulled directly out of the sales deal, there is no need to re-enter or handwrite finance deal information.
The Credit Check integration will be available for dealers using LightspeedEVO later this fall. For more information on the Credit Check integration or ADP Lightspeed's Marine Dealer Management Software visit www.adplightspeed.com.

As YouTube continues to grow, so do the numbers of amateur videographers hoping to make it big with their own viral videos.
Viral videos are those unbelievable Internet tidbits you cannot help but share with your friends and family and so quickly spread like viruses throughout the country.
But according to the SXSW Interactive/Film panel "How to Make a Viral Video", making your video capture mainstream attention requires a tested formula and a lot of luck.
Saturday's panel consisted of TEDTalks co-creator Jason Wishnow, YouTube Experience Manager Margaret Gould Stewart and OK Go band member Damian Kulash.
Videos go viral, said Stewart, "whenever viewers want to be a part of the distribution." Therefore, "knowing your audience and their interests is the first step" toward YouTube notoriety.
"Including a universal experience like laughter, love, failure, pets and food will up your chances to be seen," Stewart said. "Consider, for instance, the proliferation of adorable kitten videos on the internet."
Getting at root human emotions like wonder and surprise will capture your audience's attention.
"Then try to do something impossible," said Kulash.
Kulash is familiar with this concept. His band, OK Go , has gained a rabid following of online fans due to their incredibly creative and unabashedly joyful music videos such as "Here It Goes Again" and "This Too Shall Pass."

ITV cannot tell the difference between real combat footage and video game footage
Wow, I was pretty surprised to read that someone produced a documentary called "Gadaffi and the IRA" in which they purported to show some fighters shooting down a British helicopter. However, it turns out that they were hilariously and ridiculously off base, because the footage they showed was actually footage from the video game ARMA II.
ARMA II might be the most anally realistic military video game out there, but you'd have thought that the robotic, algorithmic movements of the human figures in the clip, along with the lack of spoken communication, and the fact that the guy with the big emplaced weapon keeps firing robotically at the downed copter in front of him, would have made it obvious that the footage was of a video game, and not a real situation.
Apparently some regulator got involved and declared that the footage is "materially misleading". Uh, hell yeah...
Here's the PC gamer article, along with the embedded YouTube video: http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/01/23/it...ame=0&ns_fee=0Lone Wolf McQuade Final Fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmrDe_mYUXg

Hilarious. This is so obviously computer-generated footage... guess looking at the clip you're going to make part of your documentary takes too much time.

"and because from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known, which are able to make thee wise -- to salvation, through faith that [is] in Christ Jesus"
My question is:
In Greek we have: ta dunamena se sophisai
Could ta dunamena be interpreted in a restrictive sense: "those able to make you wise" meaning: not all scripture makes wise, the precepts of the Torah are outdated, just keep the parts that are able to teach you real wisdom ???
Why didn't Paul use the relative pronoun (as in English)?
