Welcome to Box Church of England Primary School, situated in the centre of the village and in the beautiful By Brook Valley. Our school dates back to 1707 when Dame Rachel Speke left a bequest to the parish of Box for 'teaching poor children to read, and instructing them in the knowledge and practice of the Christian Religion, as professed and taught in the Church of England'. The school has occupied its present Victorian building since 1875 and has a three class extension that was completed in July 2005.
We have six classes catering for children aged four to eleven years and there are 180 children on roll. We are a Church of England Voluntary Controlled school. We value the school's church status and maintain close links with local churches. Through our commitment to the education and care of children in Box we also seek to enrich the community as a whole. As a church school we offer a distinctive education based on Christian principles, where every person is valued, encouraged to respond compassionately to others and helped to achieve their potential.
We achieved an outstanding in an Ofsted inspection in June 2010, an outstanding in a SIAMS inspection (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) in June 2015 and an outstanding PE subject inspection in June 2011. The main findings of our Ofsted inspection stated that:
"Pupils flourish in a school whose performance has been transformed in the last three years. Strong leadership, an exciting curriculum and excellent support for pupils to achieve their best, means that their achievement in all subjects is exceptional. "A lovely school where children are happy and thriving" is a representative comment from a parent or carer that sums up the outstanding work of Box C E Primary School. Pupils are enthusiastic about their school: "a very happy, friendly school and all feel safe" sums up their views."

thanks .. I think my confusion is more, why make non-deductible contribution?Because the earnings are still tax-deferred until withdrawn. For a great many people, their income in retirement will be lower than their income while working. So deferring income from working years to retirement years is usually beneficial.When the earnings are withdrawn in retirement, they are taxed as ordinary income. So to the extent the earnings in an IRA come from ordinary income items (interest and short term capital gains, for example) the deferral works fine. For earnings that would receive a lower tax rate (like qualified dividends and long term capital gains), you do have to consider the impact of converting these to ordinary income when they are in an IRA.So you'd have to include that info in any analysis of non-deductible IRA vs. an ordinary account for investing.--Peter

Samui (Thailand): Anirban Lahiri fought his way back in the second round with a three-under 68 even as Manav Jaini (68-72) and Shankar Das (70-70) advanced to the top-10 at the half-way mark of the Queen`s Cup golf tournament at the Santiburi Country Club here today.
Lahiri, who seemed to have put himself in a spot with a first round 75, carded 68 to move to tied 24th alongside Rahil Gangjee (73-70).
Making a fine comeback after a disastrous 78 in first round was Rashid Khan, the SBI-SAIL Open winner, whose second round 66 was the joint best round of the day. Rashid is tied 34th, alongside Jyoti Randhawa (71-73).
Meanwhile, Thai rookie Poom Saksansin stayed bogey-free for the second straight day as a four-under 67 gave him a two-shot halfway lead over Korea`s Baek Seuk-hyun today.
Chiragh Kumar (71-74) in tied 44th place and Digvijay Singh (76-70) in tied 56th were among the eight Indian golfers out of the 13 who made the cut.
Shankar, who had four birdies against a double bogey and a bogey on first day, had four birdies and three bogeys on second. Jaini, who has finished in top-10 in Asian Tour events at his home course in Delhi, had two birdies and three bogeys. Lahiri`s round had just one bogey against four birdies, three of them on his first nine, the front side of the course.
But the star was Rashid, who began with an aggressive manner, notching three birdies in first four holes, but also dropped bogeys on second and sixth. Then on back nine he had four birdies and no blemishes. Leader Poom, 21, produced some breath-taking golf as he fired four birdies, including a 30-foot stunner on the third hole, to move to nine-under 133.
Bangkok-based Baek sank eight birdies en route to the day`s joint best of 66 to move into contention for a first victory on the region`s premier Tour, while another Thai newcomer Donlaphatchai Niyomchon shot a 68 to lie three back in the prestigious event which has been won four times by Thai golfers over the past five seasons.
Former champion Chinnarat Phadungsil and EurAsia Cup star Siddikur Rahman of Bangladesh will enter the weekend rounds five off the pace in tied fourth place following matching 70s while two-time Asian Tour number one Thaworn Wiratchant (68), Chapchai Nirat (67) and Singaporean newcomer Choo Tze Huang (72) are tied sixth on 139.
The halfway cut was set at 146 with 68 players, including two amateurs, progressing into the weekend rounds.

Paramount starts slew of initiatives on the mobile
MUMBAI: After Paramount formed a mobile entertainment division in February, it has been seeking and implementing new ways to package the studio's content for mobile and wireless devices.The scope of projects includes the development of new original content, in addition to one-of-a-kind advanced applications.
VooZoo Mobile ?Paramount Mobile Entertainment will launch a beta-version of VooZoo Mobile, the first Multimedia Messaging Service application on Facebook. VooZoo Mobile is a cutting edge mobile application that allows Facebook users to express themselves creatively by selecting scenes from their favorite movies and sending the ?movie emoticons? to their friends' mobile phones.
Facebook users subscribing to the top carriers in the US will be able to share their clips from films like The Godfather, Mean Girls, Zoolander and Breakfast at Tiffany's for a monthly bill-to-phone subscription fee. Paramount Mobile Entertainment expects that VooZoo Mobile will revolutionise the way people communicate through their mobile phones and has leveraged Hook Mobile's MMS delivery system, MAX 2.0 Platform, to handle the projected volumes.
Retrosodes: Paramount Mobile Entertainment is planning on going into development on mobile applications that will translate Paramount Pictures' catalogue of films into a series of animated shorts entitled Retrosodes. The Retrosodes will consist of animated episodes based on films and will debut with titles including Top Gun, Saturday Night Fever and Zoolander.
Paramount Mobile Entertainment and Player X will co-produce and publish the Retrosodes to be made available for download or streaming through wireless devices.

Apart from the studio logos and the rating information, there's barely more than a minute of trailery goodness wedged in here. It's just one stark scene: Tibetan monk runs up a mountain, reaches a mountaintop monastery, starts ringing an enormous bell with an enormous battering ram; suddenly a massive swell of water appears behind the ginormous mountain range, then smashes into the monastery, knocking it (monk, bell, and all) into oblivion.
Yes, the world can end in so many different ways, but only some are cool when rendered in CGI. Tidal waves and meteors exploding into the earth? These look cool. Everyone coming down with a bad case of the runs all at once and pooing themselves to death? Not so cinematic. Unsurprising, therefore, that no one has ever made a film with that as the plot.
But tsunamis over the Himalayas? That, as Roland Emmerich knows very well, looks cool. And sure, you might lose a couple of monks here and there in the search for looking really awesome, but that's just collateral damage, isn't it?
In between the cool visuals, the plot is teased with three stark chunks of white capitals on a black background.
It is an interesting question, I admit, and look forward to seeing what the answer might be. Luckily, I do not have to wait four years (or even until next summer, when the movie actually explodes into blockbuster season), as the Gods of Trailer have thought to answer the question within the teaser itself ...
Oh. Not at all? Brilliant, so we can look forward to the movie being two hours of people failing to tell some other people that the world's about to end?
And that's it. Or rather that isn't it. Because there isn't a cast list, a title or a tag line, really, just a ...
And so I do. Because I am easily led. The first few hits are links to anxious tin-hat conspiracy sites where people earnestly discuss the impending end of the world and what possible connection that might have to giant lizards. Then there are a couple of links pointing to this very same teaser. Then there was finally something about the film itself.
The world, rumour has it, is going to end in 2012. Well, either that or humanity is going to be transformed and lifted to a whole new spiritual level - but I think we can safely assume that Emmerich's film is based on the first predicted chain of events rather than the second.
But this "Google 2012 and see what happens" school of film marketing seems to me to be a deeply flawed one. I mean, as the film opening date approaches and more details, previews and articles start to appear, this will inevitably take up more of the results on a search engine results page. Hoping that your film will always be top of the pile when anyone types in four digits - an upcoming year in which, let's face it, quite a lot of things could be happening - is trust indeed.
Oh how I wish we could find some way of googlebombing the whole plan. Creating websites that make even more spurious claims about 2012 and doing all those crazy Search Engine Optimisation things until you couldn't find a single word about the film until page nine of any search engine in the world. It would be brilliant.
"2012" – one might say – "will be the year that all the disappeared bumble bees are found once more, discovered to be hiding in a secret underground lair playing bee-poker for pots of honey."
"2,012 are the number of unicorns required to make up a unicorn quorum and change policy in the unicorn parliament. Due to the large number of decision makers, sadly nothing ever gets done."
"In 2012, bus tickets will be glittery, microwaves will all start speaking German and the long promise of personalised rocket packs as a means of travel will finally come to pass in a way that won't set fire to your trousers."
It is a challenge, yes. But I believe that if we all worked together we could, one day, wipe 2012 (the film) from the face of the earth. Or at least from the first page of Google. And we'll do it in the name of the poor disposable Tibetan monks. That'll show 'em.

Instrumental Music Teacher
B.A. Music Education, Johnson State College External Degree Program, 1995
My teaching career began nontraditionally in 1985 when I was hired as an assistant to the Director of Music at Kurn Hattin Homes in Westminster, Vermont. Prior to that, I had spent eleven years in the office of Hubbard Farms in Walpole, New Hampshire. I really was not compatible with sitting quietly behind a desk for eight hours a day, so when my daughter was born in 1984, I was ready to make the move into what I really wanted to do.
Kurn Hattin was a great place to begin teaching, especially music, since it included band, chorus, and general music classes. Ten years later, I had earned my degree and took a position involving choral, general, and some instrumental music at Keene Middle School. In August of 1997, I began teaching the instrumental music programs at Chester-Andover and Cavendish Town Elementary Schools, and I've been here every since.
Over these years there have been many changes at both schools, including one that resulted in my taking over the general music program at CTES in the fall of 2011, a position I very much enjoy. It has become a nice compliment to the two instrumental programs, opening up an opportunity for me to integrate with classroom teachers, expand my perspective beyond the instrumental programs, and as a bonus, allowed for my getting to know all of the students in the school, as I did at Kurn Hattin.
For those wishing to contact me, I am at CAES Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and at CTES on Thursday and Friday.

Honestly presenting our hopes and fears before the Lord carries with it the danger that we might sin and become mad at Him when His will does not match ours. Nevertheless, we may humbly admit all that is weighing upon us as long as we, like Christ, do not rebel against God's purposes. Consider today how honest you are in prayer and strive to present your concerns honestly to the Lord, yet with submission to whatever His plan may be.

Rumela was five months pregnant when her husband abandoned her. With no money to pay for even her own food, she heavily considered giving her child away.
Then someone from her local church reached out and invited Rumela to be a part of Child Survival. Immediately she began receiving regular medical check-ups and nutritious meals. Four months later, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Gauri.
Since then, the local church has taught her skills that allow Rumela to earn an income so that she can meet her child's basic needs. Because of Child Survival, Rumela is raising a healthy baby girl and believing in God for what's next!

Heat, Spurs both clinch 4-1 series victories
MIAMI (AP) — Miami and San Antonio both advanced to the NBA conference finals in contrasting fashion on Wednesday, with the Heat storming over the top of Brooklyn to pinch a narrow victory while the Spurs cruised past Portland.
Miami trailed almost the entire game and was eight points down with less than five minutes left but found a way to pull out a 96-94 win that clinched a 4-1 series victory and a place in the Eastern Conference finals for the fourth-straight year. The Heat will face either Indiana or Washington.
San Antonio did not require any such dramatics, who again won comfortably against Portland, with the 104-82 victory also clinching a 4-1 win which put the Spurs in the Western Conference decider for a third successive season. Their opponent will be Oklahoma City or the Los Angeles Clippers.
Miami's Ray Allen scored a 3-pointer with 32 seconds left to cap the memorable comeback, aided by 29 points from LeBron James and 28 from Dwyane Wade.
James made one of two free throws with 9.5 seconds left to put the Heat up by two, and the Nets almost failed to get a potentially game-tying shot off after Paul Pierce lost it out of bounds, but it stayed with Brooklyn after replay.
However the Nets still couldn't get a shot away: Allen knocked the ball away from Joe Johnson as he made his move, and time expired.
Johnson had 34 points, Pierce scored 19 and Deron Williams had 17 for the Nets.
Miami is bidding for a fourth straight trip to the NBA Finals — something only the Lakers and Celtics franchises have accomplished.
James is heading there for the sixth time in eight seasons, the first two of those trips coming with Cleveland in 2007 and 2009.
San Antonio had a more relaxed time of it, with Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard each scoring 22 points in the 104-82 win.
Patty Mills scored 18 points and Tim Duncan had 16 points and eight rebounds for San Antonio, which had four blowout victories in the five-game series.
San Antonio remains on track for another NBA Finals showdown against Miami, which won a hard-fought seven-game series last season.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 21 points for Portland, while Damian Lillard added 17 points and 10 assists.
The Trail Blazers' bench contributed only seven points compared to 40 by the Spurs' reserves.
After playing with various injuries throughout last postseason, the Spurs had been healthy in these playoffs until Wednesday.
Tony Parker, who missed 13 games during the regular season, exited in the first half with tightness in his left hamstring.
After returning to the court with 9:46 remaining in the second quarter, Parker left the game exactly a minute later and headed back to the locker room.

U.S. prisoners of war, rescued by U.S. Army Rangers of the 6th Battalion, Alamo Scouts, and Filipino guerrillas , from Japanese prison camp at Cabanatuan, Philippines, during World War II. The rescued prisoners arrive at the 92nd Evacuation Hospital, at Guimba, in ambulances and trucks. Soldiers and former prisoners gather outside the hospital buildings. Some of the freed prisoners rest on the ground outside the hospital buildings. The main building displays a sign reading: "Guimba East Central School, Academic Building No.2."
On January 30, 1945, 121 members of the 6th Ranger Battalion and 286 Filipino guerrillas are seen setting out on a 30 mile trek behind Japanese lines, to free Allied prisoners of war (POWs) and civilians from a Japanese camp near Cabanatuan City, in the Philippines, during World War 2. They stretch out in a long, informal column as they traverse low flat lands and ford a wide shallow river. The men carry weapons and supplies (some on their heads) as they move along, almost like a Safari. Scene shifts to rescued prisoner, Major Emil P. Reed, U.s. Army Medical Corps,26th Cavalry. He was the senior officer among prisoners at the Cabanatuan prison camp number 1. He recounts being told by the Japanese Commandant that commencing January 7th, they were free at their own risk, but also assured them they would not be molested by the Japanese if they stayed within their regular camp area. Sergeant Samuel E. Goldy, Signal Corps, also speaks a few words about that period when Japanese were departing. Next the camera records the Rangers and Filipino guerillas returning with the approximately 500 freed POWs. Some Filipino women and children watch them return. At one point, the cadre climb aboard army trucks and continue their journey in a convoy. The POWs climb down from their trucks at the 92nd Evacuation Hospital, in Guimba, Luzon. Some take pleasure is simply lying down on the grass at the site. Many gather around hospital staff handing out packages of treats, including cigarettes, candy and the like. A couple of them express pleasure as they smoke cigarettes. Two frail and injured are seen hobbling with canes. Some appear seriously malnourished. A group are seen trying on new clothes. A British prisoner, Sergeant Robert Bell, Manchester Regiment, British Army, speaks of his experience. He was taken prisoner in Singapore and sent to Thailand where he worked to build a railway for the Japanese. Many prisoners died there from disease and malnutrition. He was one of a small number who survived after being on a Japanese ship with other prisoners when it was sunk by American dive bombers. Sergeant Walter Ring, of San Roque, Luzon, is seated, relaxed on a chair, as he recounts his experiences. Two young Filipino boys sit on the grass at his feet. He reaches to one, whom he says is his son Louis and to the other, his son Sam. His captivity began on Bataan in 1942. Finally, after rest and rehabilitation, the former POWs are seen heading away from the battle fronts to be transported back to the U.S.A.
American prisoners rescued from the Japanese prison camp near Cabantuan City, Philippines, near the end of World War 2, arrive at the 92nd Evacuation Hospital, in Guimba, Luzon. Opening scene shows some less able to walk, in a straw lined bamboo cart. Behind them Filipino youths are seen. Some former prisoners,who are stronger, walk amongst their rescuers and local Filipinos. (The rescue was accomplished by 121 members of the 6th Ranger Battalion and 286 Filipino guerrillas and Scouts.) Sequence contains many scenes of freed prisoners posing for the camera, smoking cigarettes, resting on the grass, and siting on log benches. One is carried from the porch of a building, on a stretcher. Several relax on rustic chairs. Closeups of some, including Colonel James Duckworth with his arm in a sling. One hobbles with help of a makeshift cane. Freed prisoners open packages containing cigarettes and treats. A full Colonel, in perfect uniform, and steel helmet (possibly commander of 75th Ranger Regiment) speaks with one of the 6th Battalion members. Freed prisoners relaxing and smoking cigarettes. Lieutenant Colonel Henry Mucci (with moustache) who accompanied the mission, conversing with Battalion members.
Soldiers of U.S. Army 6th Ranger Battalion, Alamo Scouts, and Filipino guerrillas, with American prisoners of war whom they liberated from a Japanese prison camp at Cabanatuan, Philippines, during World War 2. They are on grounds of 92nd Evacuation Hospital at Guimba. Several officers converse. Rangers distribute cartons and packs of cigarettes to the former prisoners. Liberated prisoners cheer and pose.
Aerial views from airplane flying very low over portions of Luzon, Philippines, after liberation by the U.S. in World War II. Smoke from farmers burning parts of their fields. View of Clark Field and environs. Barracks and other installations, including a hospital with red cross on the roof. Aerial view of the Holy Rosary Church in Angeles City, Pampangga, Philippines whose roof was damaged by an American Mitchell B-25 bomber on January 7, 1945. The bomber, dubbed the "SAG Harbor Express" of the 499th Bomb Squadron, had been hit by Japanese anti-aircraft artillery. 2nd Lt. Arthur Browngardt was manning the bomber, and perished with all crew as the plane crashed near Holy Angel Academy. Destroyed and damaged Japanese warplanes on Clark Field. Two Americans (one with a rifle) and a local mechanic examining an undamaged Japanese Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" bomber (tail number: 763-12). They open the fuselage door and go inside.
American troops in their drive toward Manila, in 1945, during World War 2, pass several knocked out and burning Japanese Type 89 Chi-Ro tanks. A dead Japanese soldier, shot dead while trying to commit suicide, lies on the ground with an undetonated hand grenade in his mouth. U.S. M4A2 sherman III tanks and infantry of the XIV Corps moving on the Lingayen Plains Philippines, leading to the capital, Manila. U.S. armor towing artillery ford a stream, as they pass beneath framework of an apparently unusable bridge. A battery of U.S. M101 105mm Howitzer artillery pieces is set up and bombards the Clark Field area. One striking shell produces an explosion, fire and column of black smoke. U.S. troops ride forward atop tanks. Glimpse of one soldier with flamethrower tanks on his back. American tanks firing their guns. Destroyed Japanese aircraft on the ground. A soldier using a mine detector to sweep the area. He signals to another soldier who comes to probe the area with a long knife. Next a soldier is seen standing in a hole dug around a bomb Placed nose up under the ground by the Japanese. Soldiers pull it from the hole, using a rope. U.S. soldiers walk in area full of similar holes and bombs pulled from them. General Douglas MacArthur is seen, on January 26, 1945, walking among remains of Japanese aircraft at Clark Field. He visits the Filipino cemetery at Camp O'Donnell, which was a prisoner of war camp, considered the terminating point of the Bataan Death March, where some 20 thousand Filipinos and almost 2 thousand Americans died during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. MacArthur is seen standing by a large Christian Cross monument, and walks among untended graves marked with small wooden crosses. The Mount Pinatubo volcano is seen on the horizon in the background. MacArthur and those accompanying him walk around a large monument containing a placard written in tagolog. U.S. soldiers start a mortar barrage against Japanese forces dug in on "Hill 70." Infantrymen move through trees and brush to flush out the entrenched enemy. Glimpse of type of improvised device made of explosives and gasoline, that U.S. soldiers are using to drive Japanese troops out of their fortifications. As a soldier watches with binoculars, the camera records several of these devices exploding with great force. Glimpse of a dead Japanese soldier on the ground. U.S. troops ride atop an M18 Gun motor carriage of the 637th Tank Destroyer Battalion, as it crosses a river. American tanks and infantry moving cautiously across a bridge as shells explode ahead of them. Tanks firing at Japanese troops entrenched in hillside above a road. Large numbers of American infantry marching along a road accompanied by tanks. Areas around them burning from fires set by retreating Japanese forces.

Allergy Testing and Type 1 Diabetes
This year in the Northeast, we have had one of the worst allergy seasons ever. Sometimes my allergy was so severe, I would fall asleep in my desk chair and consequently, my BG would rise. So, I finally decided to get tested (skin test) last Thursday. I reacted to 30 antigens. They never saw anything like it. Now, they give oral drops under the tongue instead of shots and found it to be just as effective. I'm waiting for my serum to arrive.
How does this effect type 1 diabetes? Exposure to allergens cause sleepiness and a rise in BG. Also, ingestion of a food allergen will raise your BG. I tested positive for wheat allergy. If I ate wheat, my BG would increase by 100 mg/dl. Most type 1 diabetes have this allergy or sensitivity to wheat and gluten, which inhibits the uptake of cysteine from the intestinal track.
All types 1's should probably get tested. Most insurances cover it.

The NCHC Wins 7th Golden Penguin Award!2009/12/21
The MonitorGrid project, developed by the NCHC's Grid Application Team, is a real-time video processing and multicast system based on the NCHC-developed networking and real-time streaming techniques and developed using free software. This application research recently won the Golden Penguin Award for R&D Innovation at the 7th Linux Golden Penguin Award, hosted by the Industry Development Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Taiwan.
Most surveillance devices on the market today are built on a single host, In other words, the system's surveillance software only supports a specific image capturing board and video camera type, and provides only single resolution and a few image streams formatted for viewing. On the other hand, the NCHC-developed MonitorGrid is made up of both a system and a device that are independent of each other, but also work together as a real-time multimedia service platform. On the image capturing end, the system can receive and process signals from various types of image capturing devices (e.g.: DV, HDV, Webcam, CCD, etc.), compress image size automatically, and convert it into various image resolutions and formats for far-end or local-end users to view real-time.
The system architecture utilizes a distributed design in that the processing units are serial connected in a Loose Coupling manner with the individual units being independent of each other. When there are fewer monitoring sites resulting in a smaller load to the system, three units can be built on a single computer. On the other hand, when there are too many monitoring sites for one computer to handle, three units can be separately built on three separate computers. Additionally, these three computers can be any three nodes on the network. As a result, device resources are utilized in the most efficiently.
MonitorGrid features:
(1) Supports multiple capture media and multi-streaming format consistent interface design.(2) Utilizes the Multi-server Loose Coupling structure.(3) Able to perform real-time video streaming processing and utilizes slice storage Round-Robin Queue structural design.(4) When monitoring images, two individual still images are automatically saved and achieved in order to facilitate queries.(5) Real-time images can be viewed from any device with Internet access.(6) When building this platform among multiple computers, different host specifications and operation systems can be installed and interconnected and process different issues.(7) Due to its distributed architecture, there is no limit to the number of video cameras that the platform can support.
In today's modern technology-based society, the Internet has been applied to almost all aspects of daily life. The winning of the Linux Golden Penguin Award not only acknowledges the NCHC's achievements in developing free software, but also its ongoing ability to develop innovative applications.

Title: Faucet water found flamable in Napoleonville man's home
Source: FOX44
Author: Kris Cusanza
Date: October 30, 2012
h/t Louisiana Sinkhole Bugle
Imagine going to grab a glass of water only to find out what's brewing inside the cup could burst into flames. […]
[Ronald] Pate lives four miles away from a giant sinkhole in Bayou Corne. He says ever since the hole formed he's noticed something extra in the water. […]
Pate says he's concerned that the if the gas doesn't go away something worse could happen.
Chris Piehler with the Department of Environmental Quality
- "Methane producing micro biological activity occurs near shallow aquifers that may not be suitable for drinking water use"
- "He just happened to have stuck a well into the water and is pulling water out of the ground in a very natural state and it has methane gas in it"
Napoleonville resident Ronald Pate
- Pate says after hearing the test results he doesn't know what to believe, because gas in the water shouldn't happen
- "If i can light the water in my faucet something is wrong"
- "I don't think it's natural if you got enough methane to come out in your water to be safe, if you can light it like that"
- "I noticed more bubbles in the water… I mean it wasn't like that before [the sinkhole]"

Kevin Diep
Kevin began his undergraduate studies at Brandeis University as a physics major, but received his B.A. with high honors in philosophy in the fall of 2012 after deciding it wasn't worth the effort to retroactively learn multivariable calculus to catch up with the advanced class. As an undergrad, he was the BUGS tutor for philosophy (a.k.a. the symbolic logic tutor). His philosophical interests are wide and varied, as is probably true for most students of philosophy. Some areas of particular interest to him include normative ethics, metaethics, East Asian philosophy, Later Wittgenstein, and the theory of action. He holds no concrete stances in any of these fields, but hopes to some day form a coherent picture of...things. When he is not studying philosophy, one might find Kevin in an enclosed space with a wi-fi connection playing some video game or another with his now-graduated and employed friends or scrambling to find something good to eat that won't cost an arm and a leg.

Lara really likes having sex in the morning, and Tommy is happy to help her out with that – and let's be honest, who among us would not want to be woken up in the morning by the gorgeous and sexy Lara? No one… and Tommy is no exception.
With her hand on, and soon around his cock, he wakes up very quickly… and happily. :) So happy that he quickly focuses his attention – and his tongue – on Lara's beautiful, sweet pussy. She loves having her pussy licked and, thankfully for her, Tommy is very good at it. She loves every second of it. After returning the favor – which she is also very good at – the fun really begins as Lara takes Tommy inside of her.
We won't spoil it for you… you'll just have to come in and see for yourself what makes this such a blissful morning.

Laurie Halse Anderson closes our conference by giving a shout out to her fellow introverts. Especially if this was your first conference, it's hard just to sign up, but you came here, and you aren't in your hotel room right now, so that's all a great job.
She thanks Lin and Steve for all they do, for changing the face of the children's book industry around the world.
Laurie asks us to take a moment to feel all the feels right now and in the next 24 hours take a chance to write or draw about this weekend so you can turn this into a touchstone moment you can take home with you.
Because, Laurie says, we have to go home, back to reality now. In the space we're in right now we feel like we can do anything.
The doubt and fear of our everyday life, of the current political situation, the fear of being found a fraud even if you are already published is what stops us from making the work we are so excited to make during weekends like these.
Laurie's giving us three ways to take all this love and energy home with us.
1. Laurie says, "You are the boss of your brain, and your brain is the boss of your emotional states. I know this to be true, I've done the research." When you start to spiral down into anxiety and fear, your lizard brain thinks you are about to be eaten, and all of your creativity shuts down.
Laurie's secret weapon for combatting this is the country of Denmark. She wants you to learn the word hygge. A warm, pleasant, and comfortable atmosphere, it's an interior coziness that extends to your external surroundings. A lot of it has to do with being surrounded by friendship and supportive, kindred spirits, too.
2. GET STARTED. Laurie blames our educational system for teaching us that the first draft is what we get judged or tested on. We don't get tested on our first drafts in the real world, first drafts are hot messes, the only way we can fix it is to let that mess be made and then revise it. You have to give yourself permission to suck. Revision is about clarifying, just like when you are getting your eyes examined and the doctor is trying out lens after lens. Lower your expectations to the basement and make a hot mess, you can clean it up later.
3. We are saving #3 for the conference goers, but we hope you have enjoyed all the posts on this conference blog and we would love to see you at a regional or international SCBWI conference in person some time soon, so you, too, can share in this bubble of love.

The device, called NuvaRing and available by prescription only, is a flexible, plastic ring that a woman inserts into her vagina once a month.
"It's so widely appealing because of its convenience," said David Stern, Organon's director of reproductive marketing. "It's tough in today's busy society to have to think about taking a pill every day. Women don't want to interrupt intimacy to put on a condom-they like the freedom of spontaneity in their relationships."
And that theme is dominant in the provocative campaign, which features couples in passionate situations and a tagline reading: "Now you can think about birth control just once a month. Instead of at times like this."
"It's informative and attention-getting ... a mature way of showing the importance of spontaneity," said Mel Sokotch, exec VP-director of consumer health care at Interpublic Group of Cos.' FCB Worldwide, New York, which devised the campaign and was careful to balance the need to grab attention with taste.
The campaign, which begins a yearlong run in magazines in September, is the first direct-to-consumer campaign for New Jersey-based Organon, a unit of Akzo Nobel, which has a well-respected portfolio of birth-control products. Since May, the company has promoted the device to physicians, hoping they would feel comfortable enough with it by the time the DTC effort-which targets women ages 25 to 34-launched.
print buys
"We feel this is a revolutionary product, so we wanted to go straight to the women and tell them about it," Mr. Stern said.
The media buy includes Hearst Magazines' Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire; Time Inc.'s People and In Style; Conde Nast Publications' Self and Modern Bride; and Meredith Corp.'s Better Homes and Gardens. Organon is still deciding whether to employ TV as well.
"One photograph tells the whole story with impact," Mr. Sokotch said. "We didn't need to buy 30 or 45 seconds of television time to deliver tremendous impact."
Impact is critical in the increasingly crowded $3.3 billion prescription birth-control category in the U.S. that includes pills, patches and injections-and since last month, NuvaRing, which emits pregnancy-blocking hormones. The category's most notable marketing has come from Johnson & Johnson division Ortho-McNeil, which has focused on the acne-reducing abilities of its birth-control pill Ortho Tri-Cyclen. Organon wouldn't release spending for the effort, but competitor J&J spent $53 million on its Ortho Tri-Cyclen effort in 2001, $10 million of which was spent in print, according to Taylor Nelson Sofres' CMR.
"This isn't a new category-the Pill's been around for years," Mr. Sokotch said. "Our challenge was to break through the clutter and get the attention of the consumers and the doctors. If we didn't use DTC, we'd depend on the doctors exclusively, and they are exposed to so many products, so to get [their] attention would be more difficult than getting consumers' attention."

First cygnet of 2014 hatches at Abbotsbury Swannery
The first cygnet of 2014 has arrived at a swannery in Dorset where birds have been breeding for 1,000 years.
More than 500 eggs have been laid at Abbotsbury Swannery and swanherds are expecting at least 400 cygnets to eventually take to the water.
The rest of them are expected to hatch over the next six weeks.
Local tradition says Benedictine monks, who ran the swannery between AD1000 and the 1540s, believed the first cygnet signalled the first day of summer.
Banquet birds
"We know quite closely when the first cygnet is likely to hatch... the females can become restless," deputy swanherd Steve Groves said.
"And sometimes you can hear the baby cheeping from inside the eggshell."
Records of mute swans at the Chesil Beach colony have been kept since the late 14th Century.
The monks began farming the birds in the 11th Century for their banquets.
It is thought that Abbotsbury Swannery, which has up to 1,000 free-flying swans, is the only managed colony of nesting mute swans.
Visitors can walk through the colony, see cygnets hatching and participate in mass feedings.
Female swans, called pens, lay an average of six eggs each year, up to a maximum of 13 (the record for Abbotsbury is 12).

Wrexham super-prison neighbours divided over site
It has been hailed as the £250m super-prison that could employ 1,000 people and bring £23m a year to the north Wales economy.
But would you want the UK's biggest prison on your doorstep?
Opinion is divided in Pentre Maelor, Wrexham, where some residents could overlook the jail, which will have room for up to 2,000 inmates.
Pentre Maelor's housing estate sits across the road from the former Firestone factory, the site announced for the prison on Wednesday.
Two venues were submitted for consideration on Wrexham Industrial Estate.
One piece of land was privately-owned by Kingmoor Park Ltd. The other was the site of the former Firestone factory, now owned by the Welsh government.
Kingmoor Park had told BBC Wales last week it was probably "out of the running" and had optioned much of the land to a company wanting to build a new power station.
It meant it was no surprise when the Ministry of Justice announced the Welsh government's site had been chosen.
But the community of Pentre Maelor has mixed feelings about having the facility across the road by 2017.
According to community councillor Ray Squire, most people do not want it.
"There are some people in favour of it but they have a misconception that there's going to be jobs for people here. Most of the estate are totally opposed to it," he said.
"There are ladies here who are widows and they are absolutely petrified. It's going to be the biggest prison in this country.
"It's apparently going to be four storeys high. They can put as much screening as they want, but how do you screen something that big? It's still going to be a prison."
Mr Squire is not convinced about claims the prison could bring local job opportunities.
"People say it's going to bring so much money into Wrexham - how?" he said.
"Is it going to be a tourist attraction that people come and look at? I don't think so.
"If it's going to bring local jobs, fine, but I don't see it. I don't see the wealth. If it was factories going there then there would be local jobs definitely.
"But the main jobs - prison officers and people working in administration - are not going to go to people with no qualifications."
Just down the road though, neighbour Charles Williams says he and his wife are not against the prospect of a prison.
"Long term, we don't think it will affect us," he said.
"The first thought that came into some people's heads was that it would de-value their properties. Some people are in fear of break-outs.
"But the obvious positive is employment for this area. The area has been devoid of development for decades.
"After Firestone left we have had the promises of new money - new this, new that - but finally there's actually going to be something.
"Local employment - that's got to be a good thing."
Marjorie Billington, 74, has lived in Pentre Maelor for 37 years.
She said she was not against the prison.
"I think it will bring a lot of work to the area during the building of it and also when it's up and running," she said.
"I don't think there will be any prisoners running around. I should imagine they will have tight security."
Another pensioner though, who did not want to be named, said: "The prisoners are going to be in there, but what about the people who come to visit them?
"What sort of people will they be? Are they going to be walking past our houses to catch buses in and out?
"There's going to be a lot more traffic. There's a lot to think about and I think most people are against it."
Janet Crowther, 57, was born in Pentre Maelor and has lived there all her life.
She said: "I'm not interested in the price of houses. My concern is that it will be four storeys high - I'll be able to wave to them.
"As far as safety goes, I live on my own. There are kids here as well."
She added: "I love this place. It's precious to me. I remember it being all farmland.
"There are beautiful wild flowers growing in the site where the prison's going to be.
"I don't think people want this, but they don't talk like they used to.
"I tried to suggest clubbing together to buy a parcel of the land ourselves to stop it going through, but a local businessman has been trying for years to do that and he wasn't successful.
Economic benefit
"The sign which advertises the land says it's industrial land. A prison's not industrial, is it?
"A new road into the industrial estate was recently built.
"People have been saying a new road was needed for years, but nothing happened. The only reason they built the road was for the prison.
"They're 30 years too late - all the industry's gone."
As well as bringing an economic benefit and addressing issues of a shortage of space in the prison population, a north Wales jail has been seen as providing a location closer to home for inmates' families.
The UK government announced in June that north Wales was the chosen site of a proposed Category C super-prison which would have room for 2,000 inmates.

Kids `R` Kids infant program is divided into our "Creepers" classroom - babies 6 weeks to 9 months, and our "Walkers" classroom - babies 7 months to 16 months. At these early stages of development, the infants are beginning to discover him/herself, caregivers, and the surrounding environment.
Our educational program, which is based on delineating classrooms by developmental stages as well as chronological age, allows us the opportunity to provide more specific tools for the children to advance in their environment. Our low teacher-to-child ratios allow for more individualized child-to-teacher interaction as well. We use Creative Curriculum in all of our classrooms, which is a "hands-on" activity based curriculum. The infants investigate and learn with activity mats, soft books and blocks and tactile sensory toys. We also use active learning cards in the infant and toddler classrooms which are helpful in bringing the activities to the children whether they are indoors or out, on their tummies, or moving about the classroom. Our indoor learning area is equipped with soft "cozy" areas that allow the children ample opportunity to strengthen the muscles essential to their physical development. Our outdoor area is available only to one class at a time and created specifically for and accessible to our infants and toddlers classrooms. For all of our children, we provide weekly Spanish instruction and live music instrumentation instruction in each of the classrooms.
Our infant-toddler sign language program is known to eliminate frustration for children who have yet to form their verbal vocabulary and introduces age-appropriate language skills for non-verbal communication. Sign language is taught and used in our infant and toddler classrooms.
Daily reports and quarterly assessments will keep you informed of and involved in your child`s activities and advancements while they are growing and learning at Kids `R` Kids. We also provide internet viewing access to our parents so that they may watch their children during their day.
The four essential components to the educational program in all of our classrooms are as follows, and our assessments follow these components:
- language development
- physical development
- cognitive development
- social and emotional development

Both the people and the government would benefit from the replacement of income tax by a higher sales tax. The people would benefit by not having to deal with the stress of tax time. The government would also benefit by not having to maintain the monstrosity that is the IRS, as it would not have to be nearly as big.
Some things that would make it better:
- It taxes products, not people. Fruits and veggies could have no income tax, other foods could have 5 or 15 percent tax, school/office supplies could have 20%, and luxuries like electricity and computers could carry 30 percent. No more "tax the rich", instead "tax the luxuries".
- No more having to file everything. No more tax time stress.
- It is impossible to evade. How does one evade a sales tax?
- It encourages people to stay local. People may buy local services that don't have the higher sales tax, reducing stress on global economy.
Sorry, I meant to say "state" instead of "estate" in the topic.
For a government to not charge income and state taxes, prices on taxes for properties, food, and other products would sky rocket. The lower class who pay virtually nothing on their income taxes cannot afford the new prices on food and property and many of them would then go homeless. People are arguing to "tax the luxuries" but what really defines a luxury. Some people would say a car, but in America pretty much everyone needs a car and very high sales taxes on them would make it unaffordable for millions. Also, people argue that computers and electricity are luxuries, which is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. In todays modern world almost everyone needs a computer and electricity these industries create millions of more jobs and by "taxing the rich, with taxes on computers" it would really just kick a ton of people out of the possible technology field because they cannot afford a 2,000 dollar computer that was 800 before.

Director: Ivan I. Tverdovskiy
Writer: Ivan I. Tverdovskiy
Stars: Aleksandr Gorchilin, Masha Tokareva, Irina Chipizhenko
Middle-aged Zoo worker Natasha still lives with her mother in a small coastal town. She is stuck and it seems that life has no surprises for her until one day… she grows a tail and turns her life around.
Ivan Tverdovsky was awarded at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival for his feature debut Corrections Class, a daringly confrontational portrayal of alienation and institutionalised neglect in which a disabled girl's efforts to integrate into Russian society meet with brutal obstacles. The film, which blended a documentary style with a flash of the magical, flagged up the director as a talent to watch. The 27-year-old is now working on new feature Zoology, which he aims to complete by the end of February and which is set to be in a similarly melded style.
Tverdovsky told The Calvert Journal that the film is about a "not-so-young woman" who "finds a long tail on her body one day, and her life goes to hell". The unexpected discovery plunges the woman, an administrator at a local zoo, into an identity crisis that also brings her up against the wounds of modern society. "It's funny and appears to be a joke, but after the first few minutes of the film you can dip into a real drama," the director promises. "It will be realism with a little element of fantasy." Russia has a fine tradition of such absurdist satire, with Mikhail Bulgakov's Heart of a Dog about an animal-human hybrid one of the last century's great classics. If Zoology is even a fraction as sharp, we're in for a treat.
