PTC warns advertisers over '$#*! My Dad Says'
Group sends letters to 300 marketers about CBS comedyThe Parents Television Council is ramping up its campaign against the CBS sitcom "$#*! My Dad Says," sending letters to 300 advertisers.
The PTC is urging marketers to not sponsor the show "unless they wish to associate their hard-earned brands with excrement."
"The Second Edition of the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use, yet CBS decided to use the 's-word' in the title of this show, putting its blatant contempt for children and families front and center," PTC president Tim Winter said. "Unless or until CBS chooses a different title for this program, we are urging advertisers to avoid sponsoring such an abomination purported to be lighthearted fun. The advertisers have two options: Either they can be complicit in the effort to serve up excrement in front of children and families, or they can choose not to associate their products and services with excrement."
CBS has said that the content of the show, which will air at 8:30 p.m. Thursdays in the fall, will not be profane in any way.
"The program is inspired by the wildly popular Twitter phenomenon, which now has more than 1.5 million followers and has spawned a best-selling book of the same name," the network said Monday. "It will in no way be indecent and will adhere to all CBS standards."
But Winter's objection to the title remains.
"The premise of the show offers potential for good entertainment," Winter said. "The question is why CBS feels the need to shove harsh profanity into the faces of Americans through the program's title. Their reliance on symbols as a veil is feeble at best. Beyond a port-a-potty, a laxative or a roll of toilet paper, most corporations don't want their customers to associate their products or services with excrement."
The PTC plans to inform its members what advertisers fail to comply with its request and, if the organization's pattern holds, urge them to boycott their products.
The PTC's outcry is highly unlikely to convince CBS to change course. The parenting organization has previously protested an array of broadcast series without notable impact, including CBS' own "Big Brother," "Without a Trace," "Survivor" and "Dexter" (when CBS aired repeats of the Showtime series during the writers' strike).
Among advertisers, certain brands could be skittish about the series, particularly at first, though CBS family comedies remain a strong draw. CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler told reporters at the TCA press tour that there have been no concerns from advertisers about the show's title.
"Certain marketers won't have a problem with it and some may be a little bit skittish," said Brad Adgate, senior vp of media at Horizon Research, when the title was unveiled. "Every marketer has a different threshold. I don't think they would have as much a problem with that than they would have with content, like gratuitous sex or violence."
"$#*! My Dad Says" is based on the hit Twitter feed "Shit My Dad Says." Star William Shatner told reporters last week at the TCA press tour that he would prefer CBS use the original title.

Woodbridge, NJ Passenger Injury Attorney
Representing NJ passengers after motor vehicle accidents
When we ride along with an automobile driver or mass transit operator, we put our lives in their hands. Their actions can have serious consequences. Whether you are a passenger in a private car, bus, taxi, or train, a driver or operator's negligence can have devastating results. Accidents can leave you with serious injuries, including bone fractures, concussions, spinal cord damage, and much worse. If you were seriously injured in a private car or public vehicle, you may need to consider your legal options. In most private vehicle accidents, at least one driver is at fault for the incident. If you were injured on public transportation, you may need to take legal action against a municipality. Serious injuries can burden you with mounting medical bills and lost wages so contact an attorney as soon as possible. If you need quality legal services from an experienced law firm, contact The Law Office of Andrew S. Maze, Esq. for a free consultation.
Auto accidents and no-fault insurance
If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident as a passenger, your immediate medical bills and lost wages should be covered under the driver's no-fault insurance policy called personal injury protection (PIP). In some situation, you may need to take legal action against the driver who is assigned fault, even if it is someone you know. One important thing to note is that if the accident involves multiple cars and you need to take legal action against a negligent driver, the case can be quite a bit more complicated and could take time to resolve.
Public transportation
If you are injured as a passenger of public transportation, you may have the right to sue your local government because of the negligence of their employees. If you need to sue a municipality, you have a more complicated matter on your hands. In order to bring a suit against a municipality, you have 90 days to file a Notice of Claim from the date of the incident. The legal standard to prove negligence is high and deserves the skills of an effective attorney.
Contact a Middlesex County personal injury law firm
Passenger injuries can be serious. If you are injured in a private or public vehicle accident, you may need to consider your legal options. You may need to take legal action against the faulty party, whether that be a person you know or possibly a municipality. If you need quality legal support to help you through your legal matter, contact our firm today. The Law Office of Andrew S. Maze, Esq. has over 25 years of experience representing New Jersey clients through their personal injury matter. If you need an effective attorney to fight for you, contact The Law Office of Andrew S. Maze, Esq. today.

My internet has been moving at the speed of superzomgslow for a while now, no idea why. So maybe some fun, bright colors will make me less inclined to start hunting fire foxes :P
This hair from Adam N Eve comes in a few colors but I wore blue because, hey, I was already wearing yellow and pink so why not? The skin is one of only about forty-seven trillion or so skins you can win at Sowelu! The hoodie comes with male and female prim options so yay for that! Intrigue Co. is generally pretty great about making things unisex and/or available for both sexes. The boots are one of a few prizes available from Duh! in the lucky chair (and check for hunt gifts and mass amounts of cheapies too!)
Hoodie: Intrigue Co., MM prize
Skin: Sowelu, lucky board prize (I think. It might have been a group gift or 1L item though)
Hair: Adam N Eve, group gift in notices
Boots: Duh!, lucky chair prize
Denim Shorts: Lo*MoMo, 1L (I know you can't really see them but they're cute and basic)

I began a daily writing project on June 25, 2002. The eleventh anniversary of that date is rapidly approaching.
June 25, 2002 was the day I turned 49. My intent was to write a page every day. By write, I meant hand write. Since then I have never missed a day. Until 2007 or 2008, I exclusively hand wrote in a notebook. Beginning in February 2004, I began sending out a monthly letter. I would type whatever theme I centered on in my daily writing that month. I would then email out what I called an e-letter to friends and family.
In January of 2009, I put all my e-letters on this blog and moved my once a month e-letter to more of blog format. For a few years, I have been posting four times a month. That date began my transition from handwriting everyday to typing every day. Buying an iPad really marked the real end of handwriting every day. It was just too convenient to type directly and daily into that wondrous device.
On May 30th, I decided to be retro and hand write a page.
On May 30th, I decided to be retro and hand write a page.
I have not handwritten a page for a few years. I kind of miss it at times. It has simply labor saving to type my postings into a PC or iPad. That way I can edit and post without the added step of handwriting and then typing my handwriting. Like the change in the US Economy, I have gotten used to the "new normal."
Yet, there is something more intimate and old school about hand writing. It is a different mind, eye, hand, pen, and paper interaction and interface than the mind, eye, finger, keyboard, and screen interaction and interface. It is hard to explain, but having done a lot of both there are differences. Perhaps it is quite simple explained by the fact that I first learned handwriting and, until recently, did all my writing that way. It may just feel more natural and comfortable. Another way of looking at it that with handwriting I am creating, more artistically, my own words and thoughts directly onto the paper. I can watch a notebook fill with my scribbling. Handwriting is more personal than typing on a screen even though there are limitless fonts to choose from. Handwriting into a notebook, where the cover gets worn and weathered (might I use the word Patina ?) is different compared to the anonymity and sameness of a list of .docx files stored on a hard disk or cloud.
I knew a fellow, Dan Ciampa, who is a management consultant and author. He had written a wonderful book, Total Quality: A User's Guide for Implementation, Addison-Wesley, 1991, that I had reviewed and recommended. Not really being a writer then, I asked Dan how he wrote. At that time, he told me he handwrote all of his books. He not only handwrote them but used a fountain pen, and presumably good paper, in doing so. That left an impression on me.
I wrote this page with a very nice ball point. My weapon of choice today is the Waterman Carene in the photo. I call this old school writing. Yet, real old school would be to write with a quill that had to be constantly dipping into ink. I tried that once and hated it. HATED it. This led me to believe that I am biased, wired, if you will, to favor the method of writing I learned in grade school.
I often think about a moleskin or other classic notebook to write in and collect my precious thoughts. I think of that, and yet, I used my $800 beauty – my iPad and Zagg keyboard. I have Evernote and Pages on it. This really is the best way to think, collect my thoughts and ideas, and turn them into written pieces and postings.
Handwriting was fun for this one day. I feel like, for old times' sake, I should do this once a week or once month. I say that but realize that, really, I should focus on using Evernote even more effectively.

For years the teen-girl category was ruled by the troika of Seventeen, Teen and YM. In `97 Time Inc.'s Teen People launched just after Sassy died, and Hearst Magazines followed in '99 with CosmoGirl. Primedia shuttered Teen in `02-shortly after Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S.' 2001 debut of Elle Girl. And earlier this year, after two years of test issues, Conde Nast Publications rolled out Teen Vogue.
"The A-list has expanded," said Steve Greenberger, senior VP-director of print at Zenith Media, New York. His current A-list? Seventeen, CosmoGirl, YM, Teen People-and just-launched Teen Vogue. The teen category is one of the magazine world's best examples of the medium's response to an ever-fragmenting American landscape. There's the fashion play with Teen Vogue; there's the bid for a multicultural every-girl from Elle Girl; there's the editor-as-empowered-best-friend from Atoosa Rubinstein's CosmoGirl. And there's the entertainment-celebrity play from Teen People, which, despite reducing its rate base to 1.5 million from 1.6 million with its October issue, has executed its strategy well enough to bring itself within shouting distance of mass players YM, owned by Gruner & Jahr Publishing USA, and Seventeen, just acquired from Primedia by Hearst.
Some observers personify the titles. CosmoGirl "is more like the cheerleader," said George Janson, director of print at Mediaedge:cia, New York. "Teen Vogue is the prom queen." And Elle Girl? "Student council president."
Such tight identifiers murk it up for the mass players. YM is coming off a string of double-digit ad page gains and scored points with media buyers for cultivating a more music-based identity. But it took its rate base down in April to 2 million from 2.2 million, following well-publicized fallout from significantly overstating its newsstand sales numbers in 2001.
And all observers watch and wait to see what Hearst will do with its newest acquisition. Executives familiar with the situation said the company has searched for a new editor in chief, and observers remain curious as to what else Hearst may do with the title, including possibly reducing its hefty 2.35 million rate base. A Hearst spokeswoman said in an email that the company had no news regarding personnel or rate base changes.
rethinking circulation
"I have believed for a long time the category was overcirculated," said Karen Jacobs, senior VP-director of print at Publicis Groupe's Starcom, Chicago. "It doesn't surprise me if some of the big guys are thinking about taking their circulation down. I think it's overdue, honestly."
But a demographic bulge, according to U.S. census projections, will swell the ranks of teen girls through 2010. "Right now, everyone's attitude is to spend more money against this group," said Charles Valan, VP-strategic print services, Interpublic Group of Cos.' Universal McCann, New York. "It can't be ignored."

Xiaomi Max Pricing Exposed, May Not Be As Cheap As Expected
by May 5, 2016 5:11 am1
It looks like the next few days are going to be flooded with news and leaks about the Xiaomi Max phablet. We already have seen images, and the specs of the device, thanks to the previous leaks. There was even a rumor that the phone was going to be priced at just $200, which would have been awesome. But according to the latest information, the Xiaomi Max's price could be a bit higher than expected.
Thanks to a leaked image of a PPT presentation found by Mydrivers, it is said that the Xiaomi Max could sell at 2199 yuan which comes to $338. In the image, we can see that the phone comes with Snapdragon 650 chip, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.

Now, this makes things really interesting. If you remember, the standard edition of the Xiaomi Mi 5 flagship starts at just 1999 Yuan ($310). This model features the mighty Snapdragon 820 (slightly underclocked) version with 3GB of RAM and a 5.2-inch 1080p display. On the other hand, the Xiaomi Max is expected to come with the much, much slower hexa-core Snapdragon 650 chipset. It's not even the Snapdragon 652 chip. Considering this information, it really doesn't make sense for the company to price the new phablet at such a high price. So, you might want to take this leak with a pinch of salt.
Moving on, the phone is said to come with a 6.4-inch 1080p display with 2GB / 3GB RAM and 16GB / 32GB storage variants. There will be a large battery inside, with a capacity of more than 4000mAh (most likely 4500mAh). The phone is also said to come with an infrared port on the top. Other features of the Xiaomi Max include a slim profile, 2.5D glass and a metal body with fingerprint sensor located at the back.

From the City...
Both Theo and I were sick with colds this weekend so we kept it pretty low key. We've got a big birthday weekend coming up and we both need to be in fighting shape for it.
Here's some pics from our snot and cough filled weekend here in Toronto.The birthday party lists have officially begun including both the menu and the things to do. We're keeping the menu pretty simple;
Finger sandwiches (egg salad, cucumber with sprouts, bologna with cheese (I know, bologna??? but it makes Simon think of his childhood so we're making some exceptions)
Veggie tray with hummus and yogurt dip
Fruit tray
Cheese and crackers
Chocolate cake with Ice cream
I have to work this week so poor Simon has A LOT of work ahead of him.
We had chicken soup, recipe here. I left out the food colouring which seemed odd to me but definitely kept the roux, it made all the difference. But really, when doesn't butter make the difference?
I also made this carrot soup which we all loved. We used coconut milk because we both have colds so we're laying off dairy but you could definitely use cow's milk or soy or almond, whichever you prefer.
- · 1 tbsp butter
- · 2 onions
- · 1 ¼ lb carrots (about 10)
- · 1 sweet potato, peeled and coarsely chopped
- · 4 cups Stock or water
- · 1 tsp ground cumin
- · ½ tsp salt
- · ½ tsp pepper
- · ½ cup coconut milk
- · chopped cilantro for garnish
Puree in food processor or blender until smooth. Blend in coconut milk. Return to pan and reheat. Serve with cilantro.
Copious amounts of hot tea, homemade mcmuffins and walks with the boys.
Now, let the week begin.
Linking up with Amanda at The Habit of Being.

Well it's my first 'this month you should buy' post! I was thinking of what I could put in it!! There are a million things I thought of! I did think of one but it was one I had already blogged about (see Make-up Must-Have post about the all in one concealer). So I thought I would blog about this product! It is a really cheap and really simple product but I love it! And it is so lovely.
It is a refreshing eye gel and it is enriched with cucumber which means it smells so fresh, which is so lovely when you put it on in the morning! You use it in the morning and the evening and it is to reduce puffiness and refresh the eyes. And it isn't a really expensive beauty product so it won't get rid of the wrinkles and it wont make you look any younger, but if you've had a late night and you have to be somewhere the next day, putting some of this on when you get up in the morning does give your eye area a quick freshen up! It is just one of those little essentials that is great to have in the bathroom cabinet or to take with you in your make up bag for a weekend away! It won't cost you a lot and a little does go a long way.
// Little tip for extra fresh & bright eyes // Put the gel tube in the fridge (fridge not freezer!!!) over night or first thing when you wake up as it won't need long // then after
at least half an hour put some on those tired eyes and it will feel so refreshing and leave your eyes feeling awake and ready to
face the day //

Two Toned Wall Painting Ideas
If you want to add more colors to your interiors in different ways, then there are various two toned wall painting ideas which you can apply in your home. Two toned walls can give a refreshing touch and enhance elegance to your home. These ideas also give a dimensional appearance to your room. If you are going to paint your room from scratch or adding a new color to the existing one, you will observe that it is a very simple and different technique which will add individuality and flair to your home. Read this article for more information on two toned wall painting ideas.
Ideas for Two Toned Wall Painting
First you must choose the color, before heading further. You should choose the shades that suit your interiors not what suit your tastes. You can make a contrast of darker tones with lighter tones. You can choose darker tones if you have plenty of space in your room. Otherwise, if you choose a darker shade, it will make your room look smaller. Some ideas are discussed below:
Ribbon stripes
A?a��a�? Ribbon stripes pattern of wall painting has been derived from the gift wrapper pattern. To create a pattern of ribbon stripes, just divide the wall into two horizontal parts and where the ribbon pattern has to be given, mark a band of width 2 to 6 inches. All you have to do is to just paint this strip in a color contrasting to the base color of the wall. This way you will get a ribbon stripe pattern on your wall.
Half Pattern
A?a��a�? This is another most popular idea of painting. You have to select two colors and paint in the two horizontal halves of the wall. If you make the bottom part of the wall larger, it will give more visual length to the room. Just paint one half of the wall with one color and once it gets dried, use a tape to seal the boundary of color. Then, start painting the second half of the wall with a different shade. This can help you in accomplishing your task with a superb finish.
Color Splash
A?a��a�? Painting your home can be fun. To give a color splash pattern on your wall, you should cover your furnishing and flooring. Invite your best friends and and ask them to splash your wall with colors. For splashing the color, all you have to do is to shake the brush so as to get rid of the color in it and you must do it in different directions of the wall and with different sizes of the brush.
Stencil Class
A?a��a�? This coloring pattern gives a more urban and sophisticated look to your room. You can draw your favorite designs on the wall. All you need to do is to color the wall with a basic shade and you can use dark colors too. Cut out a design of specific sizes using a stencil. These designs can be floral designs, geometrical shapes or leaf motifs design. Now, just fix these stencils in a particular manner on the wall. Like, you can fix them in a line, over lapping pattern, random pattern etc. You can rotate the stencil according to your wish and create a pattern of different kind. Then, paint the inside of the stencil carefully. You can also spray paint on the outer edges of the stencil for which you will need a spray gun. This will give a different pattern of stencil paint pattern look.
The above are a few two toned wall painting ideas and you can add some more features with your imagination.

ABC-CLIO | 2003 | ISBN: 1576079295 | Pages: 227 | PDF | 5.25 MB
A concise survey of the treatment of jailed women in America since the early 1800s, their unique problems, the effect on their families, and the state of prisons today. Except for lurid exploitation movies, incarcerated women are ignored by society. Yet because of mandatory sentences and "three strikes" legislation their number is growing rapidly. What's more, everything is complicated by the fact that the prisoners are also mothers and family caregivers. This new book takes readers behind the bars. Focusing on an often-overlooked subject, this volume explores women's incarceration, from the first women-only prison to modern state-of-the-art facilities. It explores controversies, problems, and solutions, such as excessive discipline, the lack of training programs, sexual abuse, medical services, and visitation policies. The book also investigates key issues such as the background of inmates, the disproportionate number of African American prisoners because of the "war on drugs", and how women cope with the separation from their children and families. A full chapter is devoted to important people and events, from the first female jail keeper in 1822 to changing prison goals and the impact of feminism.

Rebreather Training Vessel
Add Heliums core philosophy, Kaizen, requires us to constantly review how we interact with our clients. This continuous challenge drives us to improve the customer experience. In keeping with this principle, Add Helium is pleased to offer its own private rebreather training vessel.
Once again, we raise the bar and exceed the expectations of our clients. We recognize that CCR students have specific needs. A vessel and crew needs to focus on meeting the students needs, rather than that of the charter operation.
We consider the atmosphere on the water just as crucial as in our classroom on land. Proper training requires an uncluttered, well-equipped, professional setting; just like our classrooms provide. Rebreather students need ample room and time to gear up with comfort.
A private training vessel allows the class to flow according to the needs of the students. Should there be a need to do extra dives, perform additional skills, or make-up for a failure underwater, no problem. How about getting everyone weighted and balanced before each dive without being rushed by the charter operation? Its no longer an issue.
The end result is the best possible atmosphere for training, allowing our students to focus on what is important. Continuous improvement is the reason why Add Helium is the worlds only full-time rebreather training facility.

Tech Crunch: Android OEMs, iPad Mini rumors slowed iPad sales In Q3: Apple 50.4%, Samsung 18.4%, Amazon 9%, Asus 8.6% tablet marketshare

We stayed here on 12/27/12. We found bedbugs crawling on the sheets. We immediately trapped it and packed up to leave. We were comped for the two night stay. Don't stay here.
Anonymous on 06/04/2011
I want to preface this by saying this Hotel was very nice, clean and the management was courteous and professional. There were six of us staying in two rooms. We came to the area to have some respite and do look at colleges.
We stayed in late April. We were in rooms 814 and 816 (North) for two nights. We thought we had a good rate. the only problem is that we brought their bed bugs home with us. So our enjoyable stay (and good service) was rather expensive in the long run. We spent today out of
house while the exterminator (who have one whole division treating nothing but bedbugs) killed the bugs with extreme heat, steaming etc. Cost $1000.
Our teenager stayed in Room 816 with her cousin. Although we instructed her to keep everything off the floor and the bed, she did not.
The company (that eradicated our infestation) told us he could tell by the size and stages of the bugs we found, and the timeline, and level of infestation (small) that he was sure we got them from our Hotel Stay. The infestation was limited only to our daughter's bedroom. We were very lucky that we caught this early or the $1000 it cost us could have been much higher.
We cannot prove definitively that the infestation came from our hotel stay but the expert working with us says he is positive that is the case.
I also realize that hotels have this issue with pandemic proportions. I would like to know what Hampton Inn is doing prophylactically to deal with this problem?
I will be smarter next time. Don't stay in a room and don't bring your bags inside until you have inspected the beds, behind the headboard (particularly around the screws in the headboard). The other thing recommended by the experts is to flip up the box springs because that is where they like to hide. Check all areas for black dots (fecal material) blood spots etc. Look at pictures on YouTube and other places that describe and show photos of the eggs. Take a flashlight with you and examine the mattress creases too. As a precaution never put any of your clothes in drawers or on the bed - luggage too.
I called and left a message today with the manager on his voicemail. We'll see how much Hampton Inn appreciates it's Hilton Honnors members. At the very least I would expect an apology and return call - we shall see.

Hampton Inn Oceanfront north - 3 bedbugs bit my arm in room 508 on 2/14/11. We caught two and killed the third. Our room was comped and we were moved to the Hampton Inn South at 4am for a fresh hotel and clean room. Kept all our luggage in the new rooms bathroom to avoid contaminating it.

Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal will give everything in an attempt to take the title from Manchester United.
The Gunners cut United's lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points with a controversial win at Bloomfield Road.
They can narrow the gap to a single point if they win their game in hand and beat United when the clubs meet at the Emirates Stadium next month.
The Frenchman said: 'Today was only three points and it could help us to keep a chance.
'We have promised ourselves to give everything until the end of the season.'
The Gunners' afternoon began in dramatic fashion as goalkeeper Manuel Almunia injured himself in the warm-up handing the gloves to Jens Lehmann .
The German, 41, initially had little to do as Arsenal eased ahead with goals from Abou Diaby and Emmanuel Eboue .
But the Tangerines pulled one back early in the second half through Gary Taylor-Fletcher.
Blackpool's shouts for a penalty moments later were waved away by referee Lee Mason after Taylor-Fletcher went down under a challenge from Laurent Koscielny.
Robin van Persie eventually eased Arsenal's nerves with the third goal 14 minutes from time
Of the penalty decision, Blackpool boss Ian Holloway said: 'How that is not a penalty I just do not know, to be perfectly blunt.'
Meanwhile, Stan Kroenke is reportedly on the verge of taking control of Arsenal.
The American, who owns almost 30 per cent of the club, is believed to be in talks to buy the shares of Danny Fiszman and Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith – worth a further 16 per cent.

New Rapid Deployment Squad for Calgary
I suppose for defence lawyers this initiative will be good for business? Otherwise, I'm not really sure what to say about it. The story quotes Chief Jack Beaton as saying that last year some 850 people were charged with some 2500 offences in the downtown core last year...one can only presume with the added police presence and likely confrontational nature of a "rapid deployment team" that we will see those numbers increase significantly.
I won't get overly critical before the full plans are rolled out and the new squad has a chance to start its work, but it does seem a bit doubtful that this initiative will have any real effect on crime rates. For now, defence lawyers will have to keep one eye open for charges that arise from the operations of the "rapid deployment team" to ensure that they are keeping themselves onside with respect to proper procedures and Charter issues.

After a series of studies among twins, some researchers now believe 40 percent of the risk for panic disorder is heritable. But the manner in which genes contribute to the risk for panic disorder is far from clear.
To date, variations in a growing number of genes have been implicated in the risk for panic disorder, but the magnitude of the impact of each individual gene is relatively small.
The pattern of these implicated genes raises the question of whether there might be molecular "switches" that control the function of groups of genes in a coordinated fashion, which would help to explain the observed findings related to the genetics of panic disorder.
A new study published in the journal Biological Psychiatry implicates one type of molecular switch, microRNAs (miRNAs) as the key factor in panic disorder.
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is the immediate product of DNA.
The most commonly discussed products of RNA are proteins, hence the common dictum "DNA makes RNA and RNA makes protein." However, miRNAs are small bits of RNA that bind to DNA and control the expression of various genes. There are a large number of miRNAs that have diverse effects on gene expression.
Through case-control studies in three different populations, from Spain, Finland and Estonia, the research team found that at least four miRNAs may be involved in the pathophysiology of panic disorder.
Subsequent studies revealed that the miRNAs repress several candidate genes for panic disorder and are involved in the regulation of anxiety-related pathways in the brain.
"These data provide important new evidence that variation in genes coding for miRNAs may coordinate the involvement of a number of risk genes and thereby contribute to the development of panic disorder," commented Dr. John Krystal, Editor of Biological Psychiatry.

C4K Summary for September
My first C4K student's name was Michelle. She wrote her This I Believe essay on Softball being a team sport. Michelle gave excellent examples on how softball is a team sport, including cheering on your teammates, encouraging them when they miss a ball or simply passing the ball as quickly as possible. Michelle's essay was very well written she used proper grammar and did not have any major spelling mistakes. Michelle enhanced her essay even further by including a sound recording of her essay.
My Second C4K student's name was Himanshi. She is in fifth grade and lives in Guatemala City. In the post I read which was titled Writing A Song!, Himanshi writes about her experience when she wrote a song. She goes from the start to finish of writing the song. Himanshi shows very good writing skills and moderate grammar and spelling. Himanshi also shows excitement towards her blog which is wonderful to see. I enjoyed reading her post and seeing how excited she was about her song writing.
My third C4k student's name was Jabez. He is from the PT England school and in his 7th year of school in Auckland, NZ. His blog post was titled Rainbow Warrior Bombing. His post was about witnessing a bombing. He described how he witnessed how the bombs were placed and how the bombers were eventually caught. I commented on Jabez's post telling him that he did a very good job describing the scene he saw before him.
My fourth C4K student's name was Emmy. She is in Mrs.Ripp's 4th grade class. Emmy was assigned to be completely silent for 20 minutes while trying to solve brain teaser's with a partner. They did this activity in response to reading "Out of Mind", a story about a girl name Melody who suffers from Cerebral Palsy.In her post titled Silence! Emmy did a very good job writing about her experience. She explained how difficult it was to communicate without talking or writing. Emmy also wrote how she understands how difficult communicating must be for Melody. I responded to Emmy's post telling her that she did a very good job describing the activity and that she was very understanding of the difficulties Melody goes through.

Whilst I was there I also asked whether he had any brand guidelines, he said that they didn't. Therefore when I asked about colours to use as well as the logo, he said that he would be able to send over a high resolution version of their logo as well as send over the images that they use on their website.
Before I went to LGP today I had already been thinking about the printed materials I could use for them. I wrote all of my ideas down on paper, shown below. I feel as though I have a lot to be working on, therefore the brand guidelines may not be necessary, I will have to wait and see.

The Whiskey Hotline: Get In The Holiday Spirit

Tags: whiskey hotline
Here's an excerpt from the newly updated WHISKEY HOTLINE. Check it out.
Whether you're giving thanks with a spirited toast, expediting that tryptophan-induced nap, or making pinochle more interesting, you'll want to keep a few of these holiday-themed spirits on hand. Honey, Turkey & Bourbon Honey and turkey make a great pair. That's why our buddies over at the Beer Buzzwill always recommend Biere de Miel for your bird. So why not add bourbon to the mix? Barenjager Honey & Bourbon is an easy pick, though Wild Turkey American Honey seems obvious too. Assorted Nogs Our allocation of Evan Williams Egg Nog arrived early this year. Like, middle of October early. It brought friends. The limitedPeppermint Chocolate Egg Nog puts a new spin on things a minty, chocolatey spin. And the seasonal Apple Orchardcombines apple cider and bourbon. It's on the sweet side. Try it warmed. And for you hardened Nog enthusiasts, the Evan Williams plain Nog comes in an even bigger bottle this year. Nogtastic! Candy Cane Vodka This one's pretty straightforward. Burnett's Candy Cane Vodka. Remember candy canes? They're back! In vodka form! Coffeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Coffee coffee coffee... Kahlua is no stranger to the special holiday release. In addition to their holidays-onlyPeppermint Mocha, they introduced the new Kahlua Gingerbread. This adds gingerbread, nutmeg, cinnamon and clove to the iconic coffee liqueur. And any Kahlua devotee should look forward to Kahlua Midnight, the new more intense formula from Kahlua that weighs in at a whopping 70 proof. Compared to their usual 40 proof, Midnight is a heavyweight. Coming soon. Cream, not Irish Like Irish Cream? Instead of having some questionable Irish whiskey as its base, how about a cream liquer made from some of the world's finest bourbon? Check out Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream Liqueur. It used to be a distillery exclusive, but now you can get it at Binny's. And if you want something a little lighter, try Whisper Creek Tennessee Cream, made from Tennessee whiskey. Cranberries We all like cranberries, right? But really, how often do you eat 'em outside of November? So enjoy them while you have an excuse. Check out Bobeline Cranberry Liqueur. This timeless Lithuanian hit is produced from the juice of the freshest cranberries each autumn. I sveikata! Scotch We admit this list is looking pretty wussified. Look, if you like Scotch, then Scotch is your best bet no matter what the calendar says. How about our Handpicked 18 year old Glenlossie? How about our Handpicked 13 year old Laphroaig? So many choices! Oh yeah, speaking of our Handpicked program... Find tons more spirits news over on the newly updated WHISKEY HOTLINE. Cheers!

Dortmund have maintained their hold on second place with a relatively easy 3-1 home win over Hanover. Meanwhile, Schalke trounced a struggling Wolfsburg side 4-1, and Bremen's misery deepened.
Dortmund got back into their most pressing Bundesliga race on Saturday: the one for second place.
With Bayern all of 17 points ahead, the second-place team now had to concentrate on keeping Leverkusen, who began the weekend just a point behind the defending champions, at bay.
And Dortmund soon stamped their authority over their hapless guests Hanover to win 3-1. The visitors left their defensive brains at home as they allowed the prolific Pole Robert Lewandowski to get two goals in the opening 21 minutes - one the result of a great cutback from Kevin Grosskreutz, the other a follow-up after a low shot was saved by the keeper.
But despite the strong start, and their dominance throughout the half, Dortmund's persistent frailties showed through, and they allowed Hanover a way back into the game on the 40th minute through Mohammed Abdellaoue, who was quickest to follow up a free-kick that Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller could only tip onto the bar.
The second half proved much less eventful, with the home side content to keep the huffing-and-puffing Hanover team at arm's length to protect the lead. The champions then coolly caught the visitors on the break in the 72nd minute, when Julian Schieber followed up a run from Jakub Blaszczykowski to sweep home his first Bundesliga goal for Dortmund.
Leverkusen turn the game
In Saturday's evening game, Leverkusen beat Stuttgart 2-1 to keep in touch with Dortmund, though they were forced to chase the game for over an hour after an unlucky penalty call in the 12th minute. Defender Philipp Wollscheid brought down Vedad Ibisevic just as the Bosnian stormed into the box.
Though the first contact was outside the area, the foul swept across the line and Ibisevic fell well inside. Either decision would have been justifiable, but referee Wolfgang Stark opted to give the visitors the penalty, which Ibisevic dispatched with assurance.
The halftime statistics said that Leverkusen enjoyed fully three-quarters of possession, and the team delivered at least three great chances to their star striker, Stefan Kiessling. But he was unable to capitalize, despite heading inches over at one point. A similar pattern was repeated in the second half: Leverkusen pressed and pressed, asking all the right questions, but failing to complete the job, with Stuttgart looking increasingly dangerous on the break.
Leverkusen finally got the break they deserved in the 80th minute, through a much less contentious penalty - Cristian Molinaro stopped a Jens Hegeler screamer with both hands. Kiessling converted the spot-kick, and just four minutes later, was in the thick of a penalty-area melee that led to the winner from Lars Bender, who picked his spot cleverly. It was stunning end to an exciting game.
Bremen beaten by Augsburg
Werder Bremen, meanwhile, showed symptoms of the psychological damage inflicted by Bayern Munich last week, losing 1-0 to lowly Augsburg. The visitors took advantage of that 6-1 mauling inflicted by Bayern and Tobias Werner put them in the lead in the 29th minute following a move down the right initiated by Dong-Won Ji.
Bremen toiled throughout the rest of the game and could do little to make an impression on Augsburg, who defended their slim lead resolutely. Bremen have now lost three games in a row and are languishing miserably in 13th place.
Resurgent Schalke
Schalke, on the other hand, seem to have regained some of the confidence they showed in the first half of the season, and halted their slide down the table by trouncing a struggling Wolfsburg team 4-1. In the 33rd minute, Jefferson Farfan and Marco Höger forced a way through down the right, and found Julian Draxler, who had far too much time to pick which corner to slam the ball into.
The home side reasserted themselves early in the second half through Ivica Olic, who was in the right place to sweep home a headed effort that goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand had only just scrambled away. That hard-fought parity only lasted 13 minutes though, as the brilliant Draxler popped up again to score a low shot from outside the area.
The visitors sealed the deal with two goals in the final 12 minutes - the first from a textbook counterattack that left Farfan with just the goalkeeper to beat from close range, and the second from Klaas-Jan Huntelaar after a similar sweeping move up the field.
Nuremberg get lucky
Nuremberg were always going to struggle against high-flying Freiburg, some nine places above them, but they were given a helping hand in the first half of the 1-1 draw by referee Felix Zwayer. The Berliner awarded the home side a distinctly generous penalty after Jan Rosenthal nodded the ball onto Cedric Makiadi's arm from extremely close range. Timmy Simons did the business from the ensuing penalty.
The far superior Freiburg side worked their way back into the game in the second half, and finally got the equalizer in the 83rd minute through Jonathan Schmid. After a long ball set Julian Schuster free to try a shot, and Schmid was there to slot home the rebound from a tight angle.
Fürth try everything
With Hoffenheim playing Bayern Munich on Sunday, Bavarian minnows Greuther Fürth had a chance to lift themselves off the bottom of league away in Hamburg. Though they took the lead in the 14th minute through Nikola Djurdjic with their first attack of the game, Hamburg equalized just seven minutes later through Max Beister, who spun sweetly in the penalty area to slam the ball into the top-left corner with real venom.
Fürth then tried everything in their meager powers to force a winner in the second half, only to be foiled by excellent Hamburg defending.
Borussia Mönchengladbach have grabbed an important away win against Eintracht Frankfurt. The 1-0 victory stops the Foals second-half season slump, and temporarily moves them back into a European place. (01.03.2013)

Social and emotional learning as a universal level of support: Evaluating the follow-up effect of Strong Kids on social and emotional outcomes
Harlacher, Jason E., 1977-
MetadataShow full item record
Harlacher, Jason E., 1977-
The present study examined the initial and follow-up effect of Strong Kids , a social and emotional learning (SEL) curriculum, among a sample of 106 third and fourth graders. Students were assigned by classroom to either the treatment or wait-list condition, and completed questionnaires on SEL knowledge ( Strong Kids Knowledge test) and perceived use of SEL skills (the Coping Scale, Social and Emotional Assets and Resiliency Scale) across 3 assessment periods (pre-testing, post-testing, and follow-up). The classroom teachers also completed a social functioning questionnaire (the School Social Behavior Scales-2nd edition) on each student at each assessment period. The classroom teachers implemented 12 weekly lessons across a 3-month time period and 1 booster session approximately 1 month after the last lesson. They also promoted generalization of SEL skills by providing praise and pre-correction to students on the SEL skills they were learning. Analyses revealed that the treatment group had greater positive gains across all of the dependent measures from pre-test to post-test. These gains maintained at the 2-month follow-up period, providing preliminary evidence of the preventative quality of SK . The results are discussed within the broader framework of a three-tiered model of support for SEL, and the possibility of using SK as a universal level of support within school.

By Staff Sgt. Joe CashionApril 23, 2008
BEAUFORT, S.C. (Army News Service, April 23, 2008) - In the wake of a devastating earthquake and simulated flooding, a portion of the 122nd Engineer Battalion swung into action Monday during the Vigilant Guard 2008 Exercise.
Vigilant Guard is a three-day National Guard exercise in South Carolina and Tennessee. It was designed to test the National Guard as the first military responder in support of the governors and their state Emergency Management Agencies, officials said.
In the Beaufort disaster scenario, a team of 10 Soldiers, working alongside the Beaufort County Public Works Stormwater Infrastructure, deployed to a residential neighborhood to clear debris and overgrown brush from a trench in order to handle the flood waters.
Staff Sgt. Kevin Knowles, the non-commissioned officer in charge of the mission, said Vigilant Guard is an opportunity to accomplish a real-world mission in a training scenario that directly benefits the public.
"That's what this exercise is for," said Knowles. "To see how well we work together with civilian authorities in order to help the community."
Operating chainsaws and a wood chipper, two teams of engineers worked from opposite ends of the trench to clear away overgrown trees, weeds, vines and trash that built up over the years.
"We received the call after the earthquake hit to come here and clear away a number of areas, with this being one of them," Knowles said. "We needed to give the water somewhere to go other than overflowing the banks."
He said the local population has been supportive of their efforts.
"The community seems very receptive of us so far," he says. "We've had a lot of people thank us for being here and doing what we're doing."
Knowles says that it's important for people to realize that during times of domestic disaster, the National Guard is the first military responder.
"We want to show everyone that the National Guard is not only here for overseas duty, but first and foremost for the community as well."

Posted by Chamber Day Committee on March 01, 2012 at 17:12:41:
Once again, it's the time of the year when we as a diving community band together for the benefit of our Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber. That's right—Chamber Day 2012 is upon us. The date this year is Wednesday, May 2. (In case you're a new diver or just not familiar with it, Chamber Day is a fund-raiser for our Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber, and it is the largest single-day scuba charity event in the United States.)
Our Catalina Chamber is the ONLY hyperbaric chamber in SoCal dedicated solely to the treatment of diving accidents, on a 24/7/366 basis. (Since 2012 is a Leap Year, we're open on February 29 at no additional charge.) Although we all hope we'll never need it, having our Chamber available provides divers with a vital safety net when something goes wrong. And while the Chamber has some other sources of income, Chamber Day provides a significant portion—close to 50%—of the Chamber's annual budget.
It's important to know that all monies raised go to the Chamber. No administrative fees are deducted from the proceeds, the local SoCal boats donate their time and services, the manufacturers donate gear for raffle prizes, the Aquarium of the Pacific donates their facility for the evening event, hundreds of volunteers donate their time, and you (hopefully) donate your money. Last year we raised $117,123, and we hope —especially as the economy continues to struggle—that we can meet or beat last year's number. And we should also point out that, for the fourth year in a row, prices for the events have not increased, with both Chamber Day and Chamber Evening once again priced at $90.
Here's what's happening:
· The main event is Chamber Day, which includes a full day of diving (two dives) at Catalina, plus a walking tour of the Chamber at the Isthmus. Cost is $90 (plus $30 for food and airfills, which goes to the boat). This gets you the diving, the tour, a T-shirt, and 5 daytime raffle tickets.
· For those who can't take the day off but would still like to participate, we again have the Flying Dutchman—a mythical boat, yes, but a big part of Chamber Day and the perfect option for those who can't attend in person. "Diving" the Dutchman will get you 5 daytime raffle tickets and a special limited-edition T-shirt available only to folks who sign up for the Dutchman.
· There's also the Chamber Challenge, which "challenges" the diving community to raise extra funds for our Chamber through direct donations (mostly $100 pledges, but also $500 and $1,000, and even $5,000 & $10,000). You donate, and then—we hope—you challenge your friends to match your generosity.
· Raffle tickets, anyone? Whether you're going on a boat or just looking for a chance to win some fabulous prizes, daytime raffle tickets are the way to go—because you don't need to be present to win. Tickets are $1 each, with discounts when you buy more.
· Chamber Evening, co-sponsored by the Aquarium of the Pacific, wraps up the day. The event features full access to the Aquarium, a sit-down dinner in the Great Hall (under the life-sized model of a Blue Whale), a few speeches—we try to keep them short— a raffle, and finally, the presentation of the Chamber Day check to Karl Huggins, Director of the Chamber.
For more information about these can't-miss events, visit our web site at www.chamberday.org. You can sign up on the site using our secure server, or you can give us a call at 310-652-4990.
No matter how you get involved, we really hope you'll be a part of Chamber Day and Chamber Evening this year.
Ken Kurtis (Chairman, Chamber Day/Eve 2012)

text: Individual Spiritual Direction and Accompaniment Are you looking for growth in your relationship with God? "A spiritual director helps you to be more aware of and respond to God's revelation as you experience it affectively- that is, in your feelings and emotions, not just in your mind. In other words, spiritual direction deals not only with the head, but the heart as well. In this sense, it is concerned with the whole person, or, in the jargon of the day, it is holistic. Still more specifically, a spiritual director helps you to express your struggles, pain, joys and gratitude, and to share these with God; to notice God's presence in your life and your prayer; to savor, relive and respond to your experience of God, and, finally, to notice interior changes and the effects these changes have on your relationships and your life." - What To Look For In Spiritual Direction, written by Maureen Conroy, RSM, in Praying Magazine For more information by spiritual direction, contact Fr. Brian Cummings at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Measuring multivariable controller performance
How to tell if your multivariable controller is doing a good job
InTech, May/June 2015
Multivariable controllers have been in use in manufacturing and production systems for many years. Multivariable controllers typically cost from $60,000 to more than $500,000, and they can deliver savings that are many times their cost. Yet the full benefits of these controllers are often not realized. Even worse, manufacturing sites may be completely unaware that the performance of the controllers is subpar. This article describes effective ways to measure and improve the performance of these powerful advanced controls.

Inadequate security at schools is a growing concern and has led to unnecessary injury and trauma for thousands of students. The Miami negligent security lawyers at Hannon Legal Group regularly represent families with children that have become victims of inadequate security at schools.
When parents send their children to school, they don't expect that their children will become victims of crimes. But, unfortunately these incidents do occur, and they are often the result of the school's failure to maintain adequate surveillance systems or the negligent actions of school security personnel. There are many cases in which children have been attacked during or after school while on school grounds. The attacks are often times the results of unauthorized individuals being allowed on the premises. In such situations, a parent may opt to seek compensation from the school.
Being injured at school due to an attack can be an extremely traumatic experience. The trauma does not simply stop with the physical injuries and can often result in mental health concerns for the victims. Parents can help to prevent these incidents from occurring by finding out about the emergency and security protocols that the school has in place in advance.

Roy Sly murder trial: Old Bailey hears of 'torture'
A man whose body was found in his Essex home was so badly beaten that police could not tell if the face was that of a man or woman, a court has heard.
Roy Sly, 53, was tortured and killed by friends who turned on him at his Westcliff-on-Sea flat in January, jurors at the Old Bailey were told.
Vincent Harty, 39, of Wakering Avenue, Shoeburyness, Essex, and Peter Smith, 38, of Furnace Row, Troedyrhiw, Merthyr Tydfil, deny murder.
Mr Sly sustained 59 injuries.
Lisa Marie Turner, 33, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to murder in October.
The court heard how Mr Sly, who lived on Station Road, had bought steak and wine for his three guests.
'Died in agony'
At midnight, one of them cleared his bank account of £105 at a cash machine.
Mr Sly was later subjected to torture and beating, the jury heard.
William Clegg QC, prosecuting, said: "The three of them beat and tortured that poor man until he died in what must have been agony."
After he died, one of the defendants stuck a hypodermic needle in Mr Sly's arm to make if appear he had died from a drugs overdose, the court heard.
Mr Clegg added: "His face was so badly beaten that police could not tell whether the corpse they were looking at was that of a man or woman."
Jurors were shown pictures of mannequins to demonstrate the multiple injuries to Mr Sly's head and body.
The trial continues.

White Sox-Red Sox Preview
The Fenway Park faithful showed plenty of appreciation for Kevin
Youkilis when he left Boston and again when he returned to town
with the Chicago White Sox this week.
It's quickly become clear, though, that he's not helping the
home team anymore.
Youkilis looks to continue haunting his former Red Sox teammates
on Wednesday night as the White Sox turn to left-hander Pedro
Hernandez for his major league debut.
After struggling with Boston (46-45) in 2012 and losing the
starting third base job to rookie Will Middlebrooks, Youkilis was
traded to Chicago on June 24.
The change of scenery seems to have rejuvenated him. The veteran
is batting .319 with 18 RBIs in 18 games since joining the White
Sox, and has elevated his performance even more in his return to
Youkilis got a standing ovation before his first at-bat Monday
and has since gone 4 for 8 with three extra-base hits, including a
three-run homer Tuesday in Chicago's 7-5 win, which evened the
four-game set.
"He's just showing off, just rising to the occasion for us and
being in big spots," manager Robin Ventura said. "I think there's
something when you get traded, there's something to prove and that
all goes into it with a lot of people that's happened to. Coming
back here, not that he says anything, but it's nice for him to get
in those situations and come through."
The first-place White Sox (50-40) are 12-6 with Youkilis in the
lineup, averaging 5.5 runs in that stretch.
Their rotation has a few more question marks with John Danks
still out and Gavin Floyd now on the disabled list, leading them to
give Hernandez the ball for the first time.
The 23-year-old Hernandez was one of two prospects acquired from
San Diego for Carlos Quentin on Dec. 31. He's 7-2 with a 2.90 ERA
over two minor league stops this season.
"We go through spring training and he and (standout rookie Jose
Quintana) were kind of in the same role," Ventura told the White
Sox's official website. "So you're hoping to catch lightning
It's possible Hernandez won't be in the majors long, with Floyd
eligible to return from the DL in time for his next turn in the
He'll at least get an opportunity to face Venezuelan countryman
and fellow left-hander Felix Doubront, who has a chance to become
Boston's first 10-game winner.
The Red Sox have won nine of the last 12 times Doubront (9-4,
4.41 ERA) has taken the mound, and he beat the New York Yankees in
his most recent start July 7. Part of his success can be credited
to the majors' highest run-support average – he's getting nearly
eight runs per nine innings – but he also has 97 strikeouts in 96
innings for the AL's fifth-best ratio.
Youkilis has never faced Doubront, but he's 8 for 24 with three
homers and 10 walks for Chicago against left-handed pitching, going
deep off Jon Lester on Tuesday.
Boston's lineup has been heavy with lefty hitters throughout
this series, and Dustin Pedroia isn't expected to return until
Thursday. Outfielder Cody Ross, batting .306 with seven homers in
62 at-bats versus southpaws, figures to be back in the lineup
David Ortiz (Achilles) is out at least a few more days, but Carl
Crawford has provided a boost for Boston since making his season
debut Monday. He has four hits and four runs in two games and stole
three bases Tuesday.
