Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect Launch Games
We rate the first six titles
Kinect Adventures
Bundled with the hardware, Kinect Adventures is a compilation of minigames intended to introduce players to Kinect's distinct brand of motion-controlled gaming.
It's a title developed with the whole family in mind, where children and parents can compete against each other on a level playing field. But, like all other bundled motion-controlled games, Kinect Adventures' novelty soon wears thin.
A rush?
That's not to say the game isn't enjoyable, or a decent demo of the tech, just that it's a particularly lightweight introduction to the world of Kinect.
All five minigames have their merits, but the stand-out games are 20,000 Leaks and River Rush, especially when played by two players. In the first game, players are placed in a glass box at the bottom of the ocean. The objective is to plug cracks in the glass made by cute-but-malevolent fish and sharks. It's a great show off of Kinect's 3D space mapping, as you use the whole play space, moving left, right, forwards and backwards to plug the leaks with both hands and feet.
River Rush is instantly familiar as the game shown in many Kinect pre-release tech demos, where you steer a raft down white water rapids by side-stepping left and right and jumping to leap over obstacles and ramps. It's a great looking minigame - with especially impressive water effects - and a lot of fun when two players are steering the raft. But even with collectible Adventure Pins increasing the challenge, players will soon tire of its limited courses.
Rally round the family
The remaining three games, Rallyball, Space Pop and River Ridge all entertain in their own way, and all hint at the future potential of Kinect. But, despite an adventure mode, which mixes up the game types and includes an element of progression, and despite timed play and Xbox Live play, Kinect Adventures is just too meagre an offering to sustain interest for more than a few hours.

Jennifer Lewis voyaged into entrepreneurship with her own food business, and now helps other food businesses become successful. Her site, smallfoodbiz.com, has lots of resources and advice for artisan food entrepreneurs. She tells us about the specific challenges of running a small food business, her favorite social media platform, and more.
My questions are in bold.
How is starting a food business different from other forms of entrepreneurship? What peculiar challenges does a small food business-owner face?
People tend to come into the food world because they're driven by passion for the items they make but they can face an uphill battle getting their products to market because of the numerous regulations that are specific to the food industry. This can be anything from health code permits to labeling regulations. It's a complex world and one that's very different from other types of entrepreneurial ventures.

Selling Tips: Mastering the Meet and Greet
Your first meeting with a prospective client can set the entire tone for your relationship. Here are some guidelines to ensure that your relationship has a positive start:
- When meeting the client at her home, knock on the front door instead of ringing (just in case someone's sleeping) and take your shoes off at the front door.
- Shake hands and introduce yourself first. A firm, friendly handshake is best.
- Maintain eye contact without getting into a staring match.
- Pay attention to seating arrangements. If you're meeting a couple at their home or apartment, try to move them to the kitchen table. The living room is for company; the kitchen is where friends and family typically feel most comfortable. If you're meeting in a public place, try to arrange it so that your back is facing a wall so that you receive the full and undivided attention of your clients.
- If the client offers you a non-alcoholic drink, accept it or ask for water.
- Some small talk can break the ice and establish you in the eyes of your client as not only a salesperson but a human being, but don't force it, and always avoid discussing sex, politics, religion, or schools.
- Smile!

Many early advocates of the rightful place of women in the professions argued that women had a special obligation to help those most at risk. By the first decades of the 1900s, women physicians were establishing innovative public health programs and labor reforms designed to protect the most vulnerable members of society.
As the century progressed, the discrimination experienced by women and minorities fueled broad social movements for change. Women physicians involved in this struggle became advocates for those suffering from neglect or abuse.
Alice Hamilton was a leading expert in the field of occupational health. She was a pioneer in the field of toxicology, studying occupational illnesses and the dangerous effects of industrial metals and chemical compounds on the human body. She published numerous benchmark studies that helped raise awareness of dangers in the workplace. In 1919 she became the first woman appointed to the faculty at Harvard Medical School, serving in their new Department of Industrial Medicine. She also worked with the state of Illinois, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the League of Nations on various public health issues. READ MORE
Dr. Martha May Eliot worked for the Children's Bureau, a national agency established in 1912 to improve the health and welfare of American children, for over 25 years. First employed as director of the bureau's Division of Child and Maternal Health, Eliot went on to become assistant chief, and then chief, of the whole organization. She was the only woman to sign the founding document of the World Health Organization, and an influential force in children's health programs worldwide. READ MORE
Through her efforts to support abortion rights, abolish enforced sterilization, and provide neonatal care to underserved people, Helen Rodriguez-Trias expanded the range of public health services for women and children in minority and low-income populations in the United States, Central and South America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. READ MORE
Dr. Mary Steichen Calderone brought an uncomfortable subject to the forefront of public debate in her work in sex education. Beginning in the 1950s, when public discussion of such issues was considered highly controversial, Dr. Calderone flouted convention by speaking out in the first place, and as a woman broaching such a topic. In 1964 she founded the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), to promote sex education for children and young adults. READ MORE
Dr. Dorothy Ferebee was a tireless advocate for racial equality and women's health care. In 1925 in a derelict section of Capitol Hill, she established Southeast Neighborhood House, to provide health care for impoverished African Americans. She also set up the Southeast Neighborhood Society, with playground and day care for children of working mothers. At Howard University Medical School, she was appointed director of Health Services. She was founding president of the Women's Institute an organization that serves educational, community, government, and non-profit organizations, as well as individual patients. READ MORE
Sister Fernande Pelletier, M.D., a member of the Medical Mission Sisters (founded 1925) has worked overseas for more than forty years, carrying out the mission of her order in Ghana and offering medical care to underserved populations. Her incredible devotion and service has been rewarded by the Ghanaian government, and in rural communities far from fully-equipped hospitals, she continues to care for those in need. READ MORE
Joycelyn Elders, the first person in the state of Arkansas to become board certified in pediatric endocrinology, was the sixteenth Surgeon General of the United States, the first African American and only the second woman to head the U.S. Public Health Service.

About the book: Brings together material from ecological thought, environmental policy, environmental philosophy, social and political thought, historical sociology and cultural studies. The extracts tell the story of the way the natural environment has been understood in the modern world and how this has recently been questioned as contemporary societies are seen as characterised by uncertainty and complexity.
The literature guides the reader through the conventiaonal grounds for thinking about rights and obligations in relation to future generations, non-human animals and the biotic commununities, bringing each into question. This then leads into a critical examination of social and political theories and their capacity for drawing on ecological thought. Each of the seven sections of readings is introduced by the editor who locates the set of readings within the specific themes and issues at the heart of each section. This broad-reaching and thought-provoking set of readings stresses the diversity of response to environmental problems both within and between anthropocentric and ecocentric approaches and will encourage the reader to examine how they are manifested in the areas of environmental ethics, policy analysis and social and political theory.

WAG's Through the Eyes of a Child Exhibition Will Bring a Smile to Your Face
WAG's Through the Eyes of a Child Exhibition Will Bring a Smile to Your Face
Winnipeg, MB. March 11, 2013: Each fall and winter hundreds of children and teens enjoy the challenge and delight of creating art through the Winnipeg Art Gallery's Studio program. And each spring the Gallery mounts an exhibition of their work—several hundred talented young artists are represented in either solo or group works in a wide range of media. Through the Eyes of a Child opens at the Gallery on March 23, continuing until April 14. Ranging in ages from 5 to 17, the young artists come from all across the city and reflect a wide array of cultural backgrounds and traditions.
"The kids just let their imaginations run riot in class and the result is an exhibition that brings a smile to our visitors' faces," says Michael Boss, Head of WAG Studio. "Staff, instructors, members of the arts community, and, of course, proud parents, are invariably delighted by the outpouring of energy, skill, and imagination that characterizes this exhibition. For many of the young artists this will be the first time their work has ever been presented in a public forum. This adds to the excitement generated by the explosion of creativity that takes place in our studios."
Registration is on now for spring classes for children and adults; spring break art camps; and summer art camps. Visit wag.ca for more information or call 204.789.1766.
Through the Eyes of a Child is sponsored by Great-West Life, and supported by the Volunteer Associates of the Winnipeg Art Gallery and Winnipeg School Division.
Celebrating its centenary in 2012-13, the Winnipeg Art Gallery is Canada's oldest civic art gallery and Manitoba's leading visual arts institution. With a collection of over 24,000 objects spanning many centuries and cultures – including the world's largest collection of contemporary Inuit art – the WAG is constantly moving between the historical and the contemporary in an effort to engage a growing public with the power of art in our lives.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After setting season-bests in both diving competitions at the Patriot Invitational, UMBC sophomore Corinna Darelius (Rye, N.Y./Rye) has been named the America East Diver of the Week, the conference office announced on Tuesday afternoon.
Darelius collected a silver medal in the 3-meter competition while placing fifth in the 1-meter event at the three-day invitational at George Mason.
On the first day of competition, Darelius scored 254.95 to lead the field in the 3-meter event, and followed it by scoring 241.25 in the finals to earn a silver medal. Then, on Friday, the sophomore sat in fifth-place after the prelims with a score of 215.30. In the event finals, Darelius improved her score to a season-best 232.30 to remain in fifth overall.
Darelius is the second member of the UMBC women's team to earn a weekly conference honor after senior Talor Tadena (Orangevale, Calif./Bella Vista) was named the Swimmer of the Week on Nov. 5. The weekly honor is the eighth overall for the Retriever program as senior Mohamed Hussein (Cairo, Egypt/Victory College) has earned two Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA) Swimmer of the Week awards and classmate Johan Rohtla (Tallinn, Estonia/Tallinn Secondary Science) has earned one. Meanwhile, senior Tim Perkins (Frederick, Md./Tuscarora) has been awarded the CCSA Diver of the Week award twice with junior Carson Wong (Hong Kong/Kowloon Technical School) receiving the diving accolade once as well.
The UMBC swimming and diving team has the remainder of the 2013 calendar year off from competition before hosting Howard on Jan. 11 to open 2014.

Yu Darvish won't pitch for Japan in WBC next spring
Yu Darvish won't pitch for Japan in the World Baseball Classic next spring, choosing instead to focus on preparing for his second major league season.
The Texas Rangers right-hander issued a statement Tuesday saying he made the decision after much deliberation, including consultation with his coaches and trainers.
"Given my substantial workload over the last few seasons and the numerous changes I've endured in my move to the United States, I have decided with my team of advisers that getting ample rest is the most important thing for me right now as I prepare for the 2013 season," Darvish said. "My ultimate goal is to help win a World Series with the Texas Rangers and to share that accomplishment with the great baseball fans in Japan."
Darvish pitched for Japan in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, then helped his home country win its second consecutive World Baseball Classic title in 2009. He went 2-1 with a 2.08 ERA and 20 strikeouts in 13 innings while pitching five games in the WBC. He was on the mound for the final out in the championship game against South Korea.
FREE AGENCY:All 137 players available
In the statement issued through his representatives, Arn Tellem and Don Nomura, the 26-year-old Darvish called it "a very difficult decision" because it's a tremendous honor to represent Japan.
"I greatly enjoyed being a part of the 2009 championship ballclub and I will be supporting this year's team as they look to defend their title," he said. "There are many very talented players in Japan and I am confident this team will uphold Japan's great tradition in this event."
Darvish was considered Japan's top pitcher when he signed a contract last January with the Rangers, who were coming off consecutive World Series appearances when they committed more than $107 million to acquire him. After paying a record $51,703,411 posting bid for exclusive negotiating rights, Texas gave him a six-year deal that guarantees him $56 million.
In 29 regular-season starts for Texas, Darvish went 16-9 with a 3.90 ERA and 221 strikeouts in 191 1-3 innings. He was an All-Star for the Rangers, who won 93 games. Darvish was the losing pitcher in the AL wild-card game against Baltimore. He allowed three runs over 6 2-3 innings.
The Rangers released a statement Tuesday night saying they "support what had to be a very difficult decision for him to make."
The team also said Darvish made an outstanding transition to the majors in his first year and it looked forward to him having another strong season in 2013. He most likely will be the club's No. 1 starter.
"I look forward to next season and am excited about our chances of winning," Darvish said. "I thank everyone for their understanding with my decision."

June 2010
Rosalind Wiseman is the author of the best-selling Queen Bee Moms & Kingpin Dads. For more info, go to www.rosalindwiseman.com. Do you have a parenting question? E-mail email@example.com.
Q. My son is a stellar athlete and student and has lots of friends. We've always had a zero-tolerance alcohol policy, but lately he's been binge drinking. He says he'll be on his own at college next year and we should accept that he's going to do what he wants. What should his consequences be now?
A. I think your son's accomplishments are blinding you to how he's rationalizing his behavior. So tell him that your rules still stand. But you have a bigger problem. You need to get him into counseling right now while you have some control. Binge drinking will kill his brain cells and liver cells—and he's not going to get those back. Beyond that, a person's decision-making can be so impaired that he makes incredibly dumb or dangerous choices. For more information, contact the National Alcohol and Substance Abuse Drug Addiction Help and Information Center (addict-help.com/bingedrinking.asp) or the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University (casacolumbia.org).
Q. My best friend, Beth, signed her daughter up on Facebook and had her send me a friend request. I denied it because I feel an 11-year-old shouldn't be using the site. Beth and I ended up in a heated argument. What's your take on the situation?
A. I want you to think beyond "Eleven is too young," even though I agree with you. Here's the thing. The girl is already signed up. And she has invited you, an adult, to see what's going on in her life. That reflects well on you, so you might want to reconsider. If you do change your mind, just be sure to customize your privacy settings so she can see only limited information. I'm not assuming you're posting pictures of the crazy party you went to last weekend, but you never know.
You also need to get to a better place with Beth. If you were harsh with her, I would apologize and explain your motivations. (Try not to sound like you're reprimanding her, and bear in mind that she may be feeling defensive about her parenting and protective of her child.) Finish up the conversation by being clear that you want a relationship with this child, she can e-mail you anytime, and you'd love to hang out in real life.
Q. No matter what I say or do, it's wrong, according to my 14-year-old. I don't know how to talk to her so she's not angry at me. Any ideas? Or is it just teenage hormones?
A. Sit down with your daughter and say, "I'm giving you three minutes to tell me exactly what I do that irritates you so much, and I promise not to interrupt you. After that, I get three minutes to explain what's behind my annoying behavior, and you can't interrupt. Then we'll write down what we heard, and take turns saying what we wrote." Explain that you have two goals: to figure out what's creating so much friction, and to come up with a new strategy. For example, maybe the two of you could invent a code word or signal to let each other know when you're doing the things that are a problem. Conclude by telling her, "The bottom line is I need you to communicate your feelings without being rude, because no matter what your age or the situation there's never an excuse for bad manners."

Q. My 17-year-old was on the cheer squad for two years but didn't make next fall's team. She's devastated and wants to switch schools. How can I make her understand that this is life?
A. You're right that disappointments happen, but try not to come across as dismissing her feelings. Cheering is part of her identity and losing her spot is hugely humiliating. So first acknowledge, sincerely, how difficult the situation is. Then remind her that she has the strength to make sure this loss doesn't define her. You also need to tell her that she can't blame the girl who took her place, because being mean goes against everything you've taught her about showing good character in difficult situations.
Q. Today another disciplinary notice came home, saying my 15-year-old has been rude to the same substitute teacher. My son is the kind of kid adults usually like, so his father and I are at our wits' end. What should we do?
A. Start by saying, "You aren't usually in trouble, so something is going on in this classroom that I need to know about." Listen to his response, but then explain that no matter what's happening, you require him to uphold your standards of respect. This is one of those moments when you embarrass your child in a good way. You, your son, and his dad are going to meet with the teacher, and your son is going to apologize. If he does it insincerely or badly, you are going to apologize for your son's behavior as well. Then give the teacher your cell phone number and say, "If you have any further trouble with him, please call me immediately. And to show that we are serious, my son will help you clean up your classroom at the end of the day."
Q. My 11-year-old nephew, Jason, spent the weekend with me, most of it on the computer. When he left I checked the history and saw he'd been on sex sites. I'm not sure how to tell his parents.
A. Start off by saying, "This is really uncomfortable to say, but over the weekend Jason was on my computer a lot. After he left I discovered that he'd been looking at pornography." At this point, his parents' reactions might vary from "Thanks so much for telling us" to "Why did you let him on the computer by himself?" to "Oh, it couldn't have been that bad." Whatever they say, you did the right thing. The rest is up to them, except for one thing: When Jason visits again, make the computer off-limits unless you're in the room, and plan alternative activities you can do with him.
Q. I think my daughter, at 12, is too young to dye her hair. Do you agree? She's been begging to do it.
A. There's something to be said for learning through experience. As in, your brown-haired daughter goes blonde, it comes out hideously orange and then she has to pay for someone at a salon to return it to her normal color. But if you really don't want to go down that road, I'd tell her that she can dye it when she's 14—but she has to use her own money, no matter what happens.
Originally published in the May 2010 issue of Family Circle magazine.

Q. We moved to a new town four years ago and my 8-year-old still has only one friend who invites him over. Should I be worried?
A. Be concerned, but be careful. Too many moms push for playdates or stalk the playground to ensure their child has friends, but you can't force it (and if you try, other kids will resent your son). Also, your child may prefer to have one close buddy. So ask if he wants more kids in his life. If he doesn't, respect his answer. If he does, enroll him in a group where he can meet other children. And realize that around third grade kids' friendships deepen. Last year my son Elijah, then 8, had no close friends, and, yes, I was a little freaked. But as he matured his social life blossomed. Whatever you do, remember that this isn't about you. Your job is to teach your son how to conduct healthy relationships, not worry about how popular he is.
Q. How can I make my 16-year-old respect his curfew? He doesn't ask for much, so it's hard to take away privileges. He doesn't study and seems to have no interest in any kind of work. I need some tips on how to handle him.
A. Your first task is to get to know him better, and it'll help if you drop the assumption that he's a total slacker. It's possible he has interests, like being part of the local music scene or skateboarding community, but hides them from you because he thinks you're judging him. Then, I'd say to him, "I can't have you staying out so late. Part of getting older is thinking about how your actions affect others. If you don't come home I imagine horrible things happening to you because that's what mothers do. So can you agree to get home on time? But my bigger worry is that I don't see what's happening in your life that you're passionate about. It's important that you find activities that give you satisfaction, pride, and a sense of being part of something bigger than yourself. I don't have to know every detail, but can you tell me what's going on?" Once you've said all that, please just sit back and listen.
Q. My 13-year-old, Meg, has been bullied at school for two years. The administrators have done nothing except tell her to read your book Queen Bees and Wannabes. I'm sure it's great, but shouldn't they deal with the aggressors?
A. Without being ungrateful, I have to say their response is pathetic. Queen Bees can help you understand bullying and give you effective ways to respond. But that doesn't take away from their responsibility to create a safe environment. So read the book, mark the sections that apply to your daughter, then meet with the principal. Thank her for her suggestion and point out what you've learned. Then explain how your daughter is handling conflicts more independently. Finally, say, "If it happens again, what is your process for helping her? And if Meg thinks that's not working, what are the next steps you want us to take?" Write down exactly what the administrator says. If things don't improve, go back once to remind her what she said. If the bullying continues and your child feels physically threatened, go to the police.

Q. My 11-year-old has to be pushed to do homework. I've tried taking away his tech toys sometimes, but that hasn't helped. What else should I do?
A. Most parents, including me, have to pressure their kids. It comes with the turf. But I want to go back to his electronics because it sounds like you're coming across to your son as wishy-washy. There shouldn't be any debate: Completing his school and family responsibilities comes before everything else. There's no room for negotiation. Having said that, though, I don't believe in making kids do homework as soon as they get home from school. He can play music, get a snack, ride his bike, or just hang out with the family and unwind. Then comes the homework. When it's done he can veg out with his electronics.
Q. As a kid I was the victim of mean girls. Now my 12-year-old daughter is the one bad-mouthing others. How do I keep her from becoming a person I don't even like?
A. Be straight up with her: "Look, I've heard you gossiping and saying cruel things about other kids. That behavior goes against what our family fundamentally stands for, and it's unacceptable to me. If you do it around me, I will call you on it. If I find out from other people you've been unkind, I will make you apologize. And if you won't do it sincerely, I will apologize on your behalf and tell the parents that if they have additional problems, they should contact me immediately." Now, it's likely your daughter won't exactly love you for this, which is fine. She'll be angry for exactly the right reason—you're refusing to put up with her nasty behavior.
Q. My 16-year-old is a good student, captain of his baseball team, and he volunteers with disabled kids. But recently he got arrested for having prescription pills that weren't his. My husband and I never saw this coming. We have a school hearing and one in family court. How can we be sure he's learned his lesson?
A. Let's remember that wonderful kids can do really bad things. So don't beat yourself up for not knowing. Lots of high-performing kids use drugs, usually either to numb anxiety or maintain energy and focus to keep up with all the obligations. So you and your husband have to ask him what his motivations were, because he won't stop until the underlying reasons are addressed. He may also need to see a good therapist. As for the hearings, support him in a way that holds him accountable. Tell him that yes, this is really hard, but that he can be proud of himself if he takes responsibility for his actions and accepts help. Also, check his texts and Facebook page right after the hearings, because if he's blowing them off, he'll probably share that with his friends. If that's the case, you'll know you've got a bigger problem on your hands that will take all your vigilance, consistency, and ingenuity to turn around.

Q. I'm having a hard time being around my brother's 13-year-old—she's always yelling at her little sister, who is a very nice girl. Do you have any advice?
A. Keep in mind that kids often think screaming is the only way to get their siblings to listen. Now I know I get in trouble with some of my readers for saying it's okay for extended family members to correct children when they're acting out, but I'm holding firm. Just don't lecture—that never works. Instead, invite your niece out for hot chocolate and tell her you've noticed she often seems frustrated with her sister and you'd like to know why. Then say that as long as she yells, she'll just keep being reprimanded and no one will see her side of the story. Also ask about specific times and places her sister completely angers her, explain that it's okay to be angry but not mean, and help her make a plan for how she can go to an adult for assistance instead of losing her cool. And you don't want to end on a heavy note, so bring up something easier to talk about—maybe who's her favorite guy in Twilight.
Q. My 15-year-old daughter says kids at school are calling my 12-year-old son "gay boy," "queer boy," and so on. How can I help him?
A. First, let me say how much I hate that so many kids equate the word "gay" with something they can ridicule. Second, you should take a moment to credit yourself for raising an empathetic daughter who broke the kid code of silence and dared to tell her parent something bad. Next, reach out to your son and say, "Your sister told me people at school are making fun of you. I'm really grateful she came to me because whether it's bothering you a little or a lot, I want to check in with you about it. And I want you to know it's okay to repeat the exact words they said." The idea is for him to express his feelings (if he's not comfortable talking, he could draw or write). Then you should decide which school administrator would address the problem most effectively and arrange a meeting for the three of you. Reassure your son that he's never going to be alone, he is brave for confronting the issue, and you love him unconditionally.
Q. When I leave my boys, 9 and 11, with my mother she doesn't have any control over them. What should I do?
A. I think you need to do three things: 1) In front of your mother tell your sons in no uncertain terms that she's in charge while you're away. Ask them to repeat back to you what you just said so there's no room for misinterpretation. 2) Have your mom explain in her strongest, firmest voice two specific behaviors she wants them to change. 3) Conclude by assuring your sons that you'll be getting a report of how they did, and that there will be specific consequences for noncompliance, like doing chores at your mother's house. Then back off so your mother and your boys can finally drop their power struggle and enjoy the best of what a relationship with a grandparent can be.

Q. My seventh grade daughter says another girl in her class is sexually active. The girl's mom is just an acquaintance, and I don't even know if the story is true. What do you advise?
A. Here's what I don't suggest: "Hi, Kathy, my daughter just came home and told me your daughter is hooking up with all the boys in the grade. Just thought you should know. Bye!" Instead, ask your daughter who's the best counselor at school. Set up a meeting with that person and tell her what you've heard, saying, "I don't know how accurate this information is, but I figured there's a chance this girl may need some help." Tell your daughter why you're going, as in, "I'm making sure a professional is looking out for your classmate." And be very clear that she's not to gossip about any of this with her friends.
Q. In your October 17 article you said any adult has the right to respectfully discipline kids. But it can make a bad day worse if a stranger corrects my son, who has autism. Shouldn't people be sensitive to special situations?
A. You are so right—everybody should remember that it's too easy to see a child behaving badly and jump to the wrong conclusion. My strategy is to look at the child and adult to see whether either seems really overwhelmed or anxious. I might then ask the parent if she wants help. Sometimes, though, when a child is just plain rude, a quick response from another adult sends a strong message. For example, I was in the supermarket recently and my son made an obnoxious comment to me. An older man stepped forward and told him to stop disrespecting his mother. I thanked the guy and watched as my son flushed with embarrassment. As soon as we were alone my son and I had a conversation about manners and respect. So while correcting other people's children treads on delicate ground, if we do it thoughtfully, we show kids that our whole community expects civility.
Q. My 14-year-old stepdaughter refuses to visit us since her father started making her listen to our house rules. What should we do?
A. If I were 14, I'd see "our house rules" as my stepmother forcing my dad to change the way he parents me and I'd blame her for being a control freak. So I'd disrespect my dad for bowing down, and I'd stay away. What should you do? Back off and let him take the primary role. He should privately ask her, "You don't want to hang out at my house anymore. Why is that?" If she complains about the new decisions, he needs to say why he made them and reinforce that he wants her to be a part of his (and your) life, then ask what she needs to feel more comfortable in your home. This conversation probably won't make her come running back, but it's a good start.

Repositioning Cruise: Kuki Goes Transatlantic - Part 1by Kuki, CruiseMates Cruise Director | May 26, 2003
In my mind's eye, I could see people strolling the decks under the light of a full moon, sipping champagne from crystal glassware. The men occasionally reached for the chain leading to their vest pocket, removing their pocket watches to check the time. I have obviously watched the movie 'Titanic' way too many times.
Although I wasn't actually expecting to encounter an experience quite like the one described above, I was filled with excitement and anticipation of sharing the same kinds of feelings on an ocean crossing. At the moment, except for the QE2 (to be replaced on the transatlantic route next year by the Queen Mary 2), the only way to experience an ocean crossing is by booking a repositioning cruise.
We chose a repositioning cruise on the Celebrity Constellation, sailing from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Harwich, England. One of the main reasons for my choice is that Celebrity is still attempting to offer a more traditional cruise experience, rather than the "Personal Choice" or "Freestyle" milieus being touted by Princess and NCL respectively. We felt Celebrity would therefore offer us an experience that might be closer to the modern-day equivalent of my "Titanic visions."
Indeed, as we crossed the gangway we were met by white-gloved attendants who offered us a glass of champagne before escorting us to our cabin. For a moment, at least, I was living that dream.
After preliminary stops in St. Thomas and St. Maarten, we sailed off to cross the Atlantic, giving us five glorious days to enjoy the beauty of the ocean and the ship.
Our first night at sea was also our first formal night, and because we were making a crossing, this night took on a more significant tone for me than all the previous formal nights we had experienced on past cruises.
This night, the ladies were all dressed in their finery, and the men in tuxedos and suits, matching the elegance of their companions. For at least this night, I was indeed sailing in the atmosphere of days long ago, and sharing the experience with souls long gone.

Think of it this way - a smile and a kind word can mean the difference between a wallet full of tips and just some extra change for your cup holder. • Keen sense of direction: You should know how to read a map and find your way around your delivery area. Think of all of the short cuts you'll learn! • Age restrictions: Our delivery drivers need to be at least 18 years old. • Dress the part: We'll provide you with a uniform.

For the first time in two years, we're not announcing a new recipe contest this week. (That will come next Friday at noon, so be ready!)
As we mentioned last week, some exciting changes are afoot at Food52. We'll be announcing a new contest every two weeks, but in between we'll have more ways for you to get involved and stretch your cooking (and various other) muscles.
More fun to come (as we build the tools), but for now, we'd like to first extend the challenge to photograph some of our most recently awarded Editors' Picks (both tested by us and community-tested) for a chance to have them selected as top photos for the site.
This week, we want you to shoot the award-winning recipes from our Cherry Tomatoes contest (see below for the full list). No need to call dibs -- just shoot any that strike your fancy. Then just upload your best shot to the recipe by the normal submission deadline, next Thursday, September 8th at midnight.
This will give you a chance to cook (and eat) more of our vetted recipes, practice your food photography skills, and get a shot at photo credit on Food52. To brush up on lighting and all that jazz, Heidi Swanson has a great tutorial here and check out these helpful Foodpickle threads (here and here).
And if the idea of not dreaming up a recipe this week is giving you the shakes, remember how we said Wildcard winners are coming back? And we said "Holiday iPad app"? Consider this a study break week, to work on developing those festive holiday recipes that might not fit into an upcoming theme. We'll be on the prowl.
Cherry Tomato Editors' Picks -- fire away!

Chili Garlic Sauce (Tuong Ot)
As promised, this is the recipe of tướng ớt, literally spicy dipping sauce in Vietnamese. It's ultra easy. This sauce is great for dipping and stir-frying. The last time I used this condiment was for my father-in-law's favorite Asian dish, green beans and tofu stir fry.
It contains the bare minimum ingredients: something sweet, something savory and of course a ton of spiciness. This blend has a delicious garlic flavor.
Every year, my husband Lulu plants an incredible amount of all sorts of chiles. My parents-in-law loves extremely spicy food. Before I got married, I hated spicy food. To be honest, I could barely handle a dash of black pepper, let alone a jalapeno or heaven forbid a habanero. I guess marrying into an Indian family helped my taste buds. I've gotten better. I'm learning.
Yields: 1 jar15 whole fresh red chili peppers
1 tsp grey salt
8 tsp garlic , finely chopped
1 1/2 Tbs sugar cane
3 Tbs rice vinegar
1 tsp corn starch
2 Tbs water
Pick fully ripened extremely red in color chilis. Wash them. Pat dry them with a paper towel. Remove all stems then roughly slice all the chiles.
Blend the chili peppers, salt, garlic, sugar and vinegar in a mini-prep with about 10 pulses.
Dissolve the cornstarch in water.
Transfer the chili mixture into a saucepan and bring to a a boil. Add the cornstarch liquid. Lower the heat to simmer for about 5-6 minutes. Stir constantly to make sure the cornstarch is properly absorbed.
Place the cooked mixture in a small jar. Let it cool down to room temperature. Store in the refrigerator.
You can use any other kind of vinegar and also use regular white sugar. I just find that sugar cane brings extra flavor.
You know the saying: you eat with our eyes first. It's important that you pick only fully ripened chiles to give a very appetizing bright red color. If your color isn't bright enough, you can cheat by adding a red bell pepper. But the result will be less spicy.
I use habanero peppers for this recipe. The habanero is the spiciest peppers in the world. If you're afraid that it will be too spicy, you can find another red pepper that is more appropriate to your heat tolerance.
Both photographs were taken last October. My husband grew a variety of chiles. Those pictured are habaneros in the black (in red) and in the foregroung there are sun-dried scotch bonnets (in yellow). We just bought those cool Jiffy greenhouses and have planted our seeds for next season.

Antithyroid medicines cause your
thyroid gland to make less thyroid hormone.
Antithyroid medicine works more
quickly than radioactive iodine therapy. It also does not permanently damage
your thyroid gland.
You may take antithyroid medicine before
you have radioactive iodine treatment or surgery in order to bring your
metabolism to normal, to make you feel better, or to
reduce the chances of more serious problems.
You may also take
antithyroid medicine if you have
Graves' ophthalmopathy and are going to be treated
with radioactive iodine therapy. If you take antithyroid medicine before you
have radioactive iodine treatment, it may prevent your Graves' ophthalmopathy
from getting worse.
Antithyroid medicines do not
always start working right away. Symptoms usually get better or go away 1 to 8
weeks after you start taking the medicine. It may take as long as 6 months for
your thyroid hormone levels to become normal.
medicines work best if you have mild
hyperthyroidism, if this is the first time you are
being treated for
Graves' disease, if you are younger than 50, or if
your thyroid gland is only swollen a little bit (small goiter).
If your hyperthyroidism comes back after you
have stopped taking the medicine, you can try taking antithyroid medicine
again. But your doctor may recommend radioactive iodine treatment, because
radioactive iodine is more likely to permanently cure your
In some cases, one type of antithyroid medicine
works better than the other.
Side effects of antithyroid medicines
Call your doctor right away if you have any signs of side
effects. Side effects can be serious. But they usually go away after you stop
taking the medicine.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side
effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
If you take antithyroid
medicine for a long time, you may develop
hypothyroidism, which means your body is making too
little thyroid hormone.
It is very important to take antithyroid
medicine at the same time every day.
Your doctor will have to
check your thyroid hormone levels frequently to make sure you are taking the
right amount of medicine. If your thyroid hormone levels are too low, your
doctor may prescribe a small amount of thyroid medicine to take along with
your antithyroid medicine.
Your hyperthyroidism is most likely
to come back (relapse) within 6 months after you stop taking medicine. But it can
also come back years later. Be sure to have regular check-ups with your doctor.
If you are
pregnant, your doctor will recommend that you take the smallest effective dose
of antithyroid medicine. After your baby is born, you can safely breast-feed
while taking antithyroid medicine.
Children may be hard to
treat with antithyroid medicine, because they grow so fast and it is hard to
know how much medicine to give them.

WASHINGTON, April 10, 2007 - Military children missing deployed parents can take comfort in quilts the Armed Services YMCA's Operation Kid Comfort program is making especially for them.
The Armed Services YMCA is a member of America Supports You, a Defense Department program highlighting the ways Americans and the corporate sector are supporting the troops.
"The children don't know that (parents) are deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq or in a more dangerous situation than any other," Susan Simms, the organization's manager for branch and corporate relations, said. "They just know Mom or Dad is gone."
To help them deal with the separation, Operation Kid Comfort participants create quilts unique to each child 5 and under, Simms said. The quilts include family photos, the child's name and the parent's service seal. Older children receive a small pillow with the same photos.
Since the program began on Fort Bragg, N.C., in 2003, Simms estimated, close to 3,000 children have received quilts with a card explaining their significance.
"The card is addressed to the child, and it's the quilt talking to the child," she said. "It's telling the child that this quilt is especially for him or her, and it's OK to hurt, it's OK to cry, (and) the quilt is there to give them a little bit of comfort."
Simms said she thought it was a good way of trying to get across the purpose of the quilt. Each card is signed, "Your Buddy K.C.," initials that stand for Kid Comfort.
The quilts have benefits beyond being a cool gift, however, Dr. Sarah Hansel, a Department of Veterans Affairs staff psychologist, said.
"Blankets and stuffed animals have long been associated with kids as transitional objects, things they hold on to specifically for comfort," Hansel, whose husband retired from the Navy after 24 years, said. "I think that's one of the reasons why the program is so beautifully named.
"Kid Comfort is precisely what it does," she said.
A child's response to a parent's absence can manifest itself in many ways. Hansel said children's responses could include bed-wetting and exhibiting more challenging behavior. Those symptoms often improve significantly when the kids have something to latch onto that represents Mom or Dad to them.
"The little quilts are something tangible that they can grab hold of and take with them and wrap up in, be surrounded by parents' love," she said. "Those are all real, positive things that are likely to have solid impact, and families can see the difference in behavior."
Hansel believes so strongly in the program's positive impact that she has involved her quilting group, Stars and Stripes Quilters of Fort McHenry. Since the group started quilting for Operation Kid Comfort in July, it has completed more than 80 of the 40-inch-square quilts, she said.
Hansel said she got involved in the program as an opportunity to participate in a primary prevention project.
"We know that there's a lot of research evidence that shows that early parental separation is a risk factor for depression in adulthood," she said.
She stressed that such separation is only a risk factor and not a determining factor. "That's part of why I got involved, was to really push for something that has the potential of having a long-term impact in making up for some of the harm that war does that we never actually ... see."
Hansel added that the children aren't the only ones who find a measure of comfort in the quilt. All those involved benefit, she said and cited research that finds those who witness or engage in an act of kindness also feel better.
"This is a great project that spreads blessings on so many levels," Hansel said. "It's something that's just got kind of a no-lose component."
Those blessings have spread from Fort Bragg to Fort Riley, Kansas, Fort Drum, N.Y. and to Armed Services YMCAs in San Diego and Alaska, Simms said. The program is expected to be introduced at Fort Stewart, Ga., and Fort Carson, Colo., by fall.
The ASYMCA's most recent addition of the Operation Kid Comfort program is at Fort Belvoir, Va. That program is a joint effort between the ASYMCA and Fort Belvoir Child and Youth Services.
It was launched March 29 in observation he Month of the Military Child, which is April, Simms said. The event included a spaghetti supper where military children were presented with an Operation Kid Comfort quilt or pillow.
Charlize Reagin, 1, was one of the children to receive an Operation Kid Comfort quilt at the Fort Belvoir event. Her older sister, Eliana, 9, who couldn't be there, received a pillow.
Their dad, Army Staff Sgt. Josh Reagin, has been deployed to Iraq since Dec. 31 and is not due back until January 2008. His wife, Melanie, accepted a quilt and pillow personalized with family photos, including one of Josh riding a horse in front of the caisson at the funeral of President Ronald Regan.
"The quilt and pillow will comfort them a lot," said Melanie, as Charlize pointed to a photo of Josh on the quilt. "Da Da," she said.

My Perspective term
Understanding Dwarfism is a program dedicated to changing the world's perception of a group of people who throughout history have been miss understood and stigmatized because of their profound short stature.
Our hopes are that through education, understanding and awareness people will begin to see persons with dwarfism for their positive contributions to society - equally capable and deserving of a life free of stereotypes and equal to that of any other.
Get a unique perspective of how people with dwarfism see the world and what they want you to know. Understand their challenges, their contributions, and find out how much you really have in common with someone you might think is much different than you.

AFJ Legislative Counsel
UPDATE, August 21, 2014: Prof. Steven Valdeck, who first raised concerns about Judge Bates' letter, discussed below, has an update. He notes that Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Alex Kozinski—a member of the Judicial Conference, the federal judiciary's policy-making body—has written to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, informing him that he has "serious doubts about the views expressed by Judge Bates," and "[i]nsofar as Judge Bates's August 5th letter may be understood as reflecting my views, I advise the Committee that this is not so."
The ongoing effort to reform the secret court that approves government surveillance requests took a surprising turn when a former judge on the court wrote a letter opposing reform legislation. In that letter, Judge John D. Bates claimed to speak for the federal judiciary.
He does not.
At issue is the special court created by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. It's commonly known as the FISA Court or the FISC. The court approves electronic surveillance applications made by the executive branch—such as those revealed by National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden. Under current law, only the government is represented before the FISC, and there is no lawyer to advocate for those whose privacy rights are at risk. Unsurprisingly, the government has a better than a 99% success rate before the FISC.
To address these and other problems with the government's surveillance authorities, Senator Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., recently introduced an updated version of the USA FREEDOM Act. His Senate bill unquestionably goes further to protect civil liberties and individual privacy than the House version of the same name passed in May.
The Senate bill would ensure an adversarial process in the FISC through a "special advocate" who "shall advocate, as appropriate, in support of legal interpretations that advance individual privacy and civil liberties." Conversely, the House bill would leave in place the ex parte nature of FISC proceedings; it calls only for a panel of amicus curiae who would assist the court in certain cases, but would represent no one and would have no duty to oppose the government's arguments. What's more, the Senate bill would require the FISC to certify certain questions for appeal, thus allowing appeals not just on behalf of the government—which, as the only party that currently appears before the FISC, has always been able to appeal on the rare occasion it loses—but also on behalf of surveillance targets and "the interests of justice" generally.
The Senate bill is the product of lengthy negotiations between key Senators, the White House, intelligence gathering agencies, and others—a hard-fought compromise among many interested parties and a serious attempt to enact meaningful reform. But not everyone is on board. In a letter to the Chairmen and ranking members of the Senate Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, Judge Bates—a former FISC judge and director of the U.S. Court's Administrative Office—wrote to oppose the more robust FISC reforms and to argue in favor of the weaker House-passed legislation.
Judge Bates's letter is troubling not simply because he opposes basic reform to enhance the fairness of FISC proceedings, but because he purports to do so, in his words, "on behalf of the Judiciary."
In a response published last week, law professor Steve Vladeck identified two fundamental problems with Judge Bates's approach. First, Judge Bates provides no justification for his asserted authority to speak on behalf of the entire judiciary:
Yes, he is the Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AO)–and, in that capacity, serves as Secretary to the Judicial Conference of the United States. But under federal law, it is the latter body–the Judicial Conference–and not the AO that is the official policy voice of the federal judiciary, and for good reason. Federal law not only outlines who serves on the Judicial Conference, but it also provides procedural and substantive rules to guide that body in how it conducts business, with an eye toward ensuring that it only speaks on pending policy issues of appropriate concern to federal judges.
Given the absence of clear authority inherent in his position as AO director, Vladeck writes, "Judge Bates should at least be far clearer about exactly on whose behalf he is writing . . . and by what process he obtained their consent."
Second, as Vladeck points out, "we know better." That is, we already know that not all federal judges—indeed, not even all former FISC judges—believe that FISC reform should be limited to the modest House proposals. For example, Judge James Carr, who served on the FISC from 2002 to 2008, has publicly endorsed the use of a special advocate—noting that an amicus who participates solely for the court's benefit "will not achieve true reform"—and has argued that "adversarial appellate review is crucial to increased confidence in the FISC and its work."
With other FISC judges publicly supporting reform, Judge Bates's letter will, at best, sow confusion among Senators left wondering as to the scope of his opinions.
This is not the first time that Judge Bates has responded to proposed surveillance reforms, though it is the first time he has claimed, without qualification, to speak for the entire judiciary. And he is doing so to oppose reform that even the executive branch—that is, the entity that depends on the FISC to grant surveillance applications—has agreed to. Thus, in Vladeck's view, "the real takeaway from [Judge Bates's] letters is the extent to which they reinforce the charge that the judges staffing the FISC, by themselves, provide an insufficiently independent check on government surveillance programs–which is the entire reason why these reforms have been pursued (and are so essential) in the first place."
Alliance for Justice agrees, and urges both the Senate and the House to quickly pass the FISC reforms in Senator Leahy's version of USA FREEDOM.

text: Named after Joan of Arc, a national heroine of France and a Roman Catholic saint she led the French army to several important victories during the hundred year war. She was captured by the Burgundians, sold to the English, tried by an ecclesiastical court, and burned at the stake when she was 19 years old. It was only in 1920 after about 450 years of her supreme sacrifice, that she was finally canonized as St. Joan of arc. Her undying spirit to "Serve the Nation" is the motto thus adopted by St. Joan's Convent. Her unmoved devotion and selfless patriotism continue to provide encouragement and motivation

Memory Eternal! + George Ansara
George Ansara fell asleep in the Lord on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at the age of 82. Mr. Ansara will lie-in-state at the Antiochian Orthodox Basilica of St. Mary, located at 18100 Merriman, Livonia, Michigan on Friday, April 16th from 5:00-8:00 p.m. Trisagion prayer service begins at 8 p.m. On Saturday, April 17th, Mr. Ansara will lie-in state at the Basilica from 10:00-11:00 a.m. The Funeral Liturgy begins at 11:00 a.m. followed by a private burial.
George Ansara migrated from Aita El-Fokhar, Lebanon. He was married to the late Geraldine Ansara. With his brother Andrew, they became the largest franchise owners of the Big Boy Restaurants. An entrepreneur who also brought the Red Robin Restaurants to our state, he employed thousands of people. He started the mission of St. Mary in Livonia in 1972 with a handful of parishioners and lived to see the Basilica built to reflect what he admired most – his family, his faith and his work. George's greatest passion was that in order for family and community to survive, they must have a place to worship. George was a great dad to Lewis Ansara and Denise (Shaheen) Boumaroun, and the late Debra Ansara. He was blessed with his brother Andrew Ansara, his sisters Marie Ansara, Violette Matta and Nazik Kehdy, He was the loving grandfather of Joe, Mac, Lauren, Deanna, George, Lewis and Daniel. He is survived by many nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations made to the Basilica of St. Mary Building Fund. Please leave the family condolences and cherished memories at harryjwillfuneralhome.com. May his memory be eternal!

If that is a castle 2400 sct motor only in blue i so want one! this green is killing me.
Man i need more than 50 characters.
I'm pretty sure it is, because they're saying 'powered by Castle'. Not 100% sure though.b
My Summit summits.
Yea i got so excited i emailed castle lol.
Man i need more than 50 characters.
Castle motors should be green. Period.
Nobody is born with experience
I agree, when you have a blacked out truck you want a black motor... At least they should offer green, blue and black...
He Who Dies With the Most Toys Wins.
I always liked the green it stands out
Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk
Anyway.... it's smart to use Castle's experience and quality instead of starting as a newbie on that road. Saying that assuming Traxxas doesn't manufacture the Velineon sets itself.
Nobody is born with experience
Traxxas should offer a Slash 4x4 edition with this new motor combo!
Member of the 10,000 + posts club! Here to help!
It just has a different color, nothing really new about it.
Nobody is born with experience
First batch of Funny Cars will have green motors, FYI. Far more will have blue, and blue is the official color, but the very first cars will have green.
So a Traxxas Labeled green motor?
Should be noted the JFR cars with the Boss 500 engine uses a blue anodized block.
Now in the near future youll be seeing these "limited" green traxxas labeled castle motors pulling a premium on ebay.
Define Spam...
Guess I'll be getting the green motor.
Traxxas should put the green motors in the John Force and Mike Neff cars and the blue ones in the Courtney Force and Robert Hight cars They can send them all to me and I will swap them all over and send them all back well most of them.
I wanted to put a really cool signature but I ran
Green,,, Blue,,,, First one to the finish line is the one I want loll
All Lives Matter
United We Stand, Divided We Fall
Pics are online and unboxing videos. It is a green motor and branded with castle. The thought of a first edition is cool but it's clearly labeled Castle and has no traxxas branding on it.
i used the leopard motor onmy model, it have a good performance.
Traxxas Velineon should be red.
MERV, Summit, Slash (4x4), 'Pede 4x4
Technically, yesTraxxas' logo is red.
Cars: erevo vxl, 1/16 summit, stampede vxl, tmaxx
I got my F/C a few weeks ago. I am new to RC. My car has the Green Castle motor in it. Is the Blue motor slower or faster? I tried the weight and it helped some. Would like a lil more technical info on how to "lock" the front steering. Not gonna try the silly putty yet.
