Laughter is the best medicine; we all know that. But, in today's high pressure, high tension, and competitive world, laughter is fast disappearing. Earlier, people laughed at least 18 minutes a day, but nowadays we laugh not more than 6 minutes per day, despite the huge increase in the standard of living. Children can laugh up to 300-400 times in a day, but as adults this frequency drops to only 15 times a day.
Researchers have proved that laughter has the ability to unwind the negative effects of stress: the catalyst for many of our health problems. More than 70 per cent of illnesses-- such as high blood pressure, heart disease, anxiety, depression, frequent coughs and colds, peptic ulcers, insomnia, allergies, asthma, tension headaches, stomach upsets and even cancer--are in some way related to stress.
It has been scientifically shown that laughter lowers blood pressure, relaxes muscles, improves blood circulation, increases oxygen level in the body, elevates mood, brings hope, enhances communication and most importantly boosts the immune system, which is the master key for maintaining good health. But, until now there was no reliable and effective system to deliver laughter. Humor was the only tool available, and it is not reliable and seldom leads to continuous hearty laughter.
Laughter Yoga – A Breakthrough
Laughter Yoga is a breakthrough laughter delivery system that enables a person to laugh continuously for 15 to 20 minutes. It is a powerful exercise routine fast sweeping the world and is a complete wellbeing workout.
It is the brainchild of Dr. Madan Kataria, an Indian physician from Mumbai who started the first laughter club in a park on 13th March 1995, with just 5 people. Today, it has become a worldwide phenomenon with more than 6000 social laughter clubs in 60 countries. It combines unconditional laughter with yogic breathing (PRANAYAMA).Anyone can laugh for no reason, without relying on humor, jokes or comedy. Laughter is simulated as a body exercise in a group but with eye contact and childlike playfulness, it soon turns into real and contagious laughter.
The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter. One gets the same physiological and psychological benefits.
This innovative concept has been widely accepted all over the world and has been written about in prestigious publications like TIME Magazine, National Geographic, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Daily Telegraph (UK) and many others. Laughter clubs were also featured on Oprah Winfrey Show, BBC, CNN, ZDF (Germany) NHK (Japan), ABC news (USA) and many other TV networks around the world. Several documentaries have also been shown in different languages worldwide. This strong media coverage has helped to spread Laughter Yoga to almost every part of the world with more and more people joining the laughter family.
Why Laughter Yoga - 3 Reasons
1. In order to get the scientifically proven health benefits of laughter, we need to laugh continuously for at least for 10 to 15 minutes. Since in Laughter Yoga we do laughter as an exercise, we can prolong our laughter as long as we want. On the other hand, natural laughter comes for just a few seconds here and there and is not enough to bring about physiological and biochemical changes in our body.
2. To reap the health benefits of laughter, laughter has to be loud and deep coming from the diaphragm. It should be a belly laugh. It might not be socially acceptable to laugh loudly, but Laughter Yoga clubs provide a safe environment where one can laugh loudly and heartily without any social implication.
3. Natural laughter that courses through our life depends upon many reasons and conditions, but there are not many reasons which make us laugh. That means we are leaving laughter to chance, it may happen it may not. In contrast, in Laughter Yoga club we are not leaving laughter to chance, but doing it out of commitment. This is a guaranteed way of getting the health benefits of laughter.
Laughter Clubs Free for All: Laughter Yoga clubs are social clubs, free for all. There is no membership fee, no forms and no fuss. They are run by volunteers trained as laughter teachers and leaders. These clubs are non-political, non-religious and non-profit run under the aegis of Laughter Clubs International in India and Laughter Yoga International in the rest of the world.
Mission - World Peace: The ultimate objective is to bring good health, joy and world peace through laughter. Laughter is a universal with no language and cultural barriers. Laughter Yoga clubs are fast developing into a worldwide community of like-minded people who believe in unconditional love, laughter and fellowship. Every first Sunday of May is celebrated as World Laughter Day. In the year 2000, nearly 10,000 people laughed together in Copenhagen Denmark to create a Guinness book of records.
Life Changing Experience
In India there are thousands of Laughter Yoga clubs that meet every morning in public parks. Club members proudly report that they haven't missed a day in five years or more. They say it makes them happy, healthy and energized - in effect, it has changed their lives.
They are full of positive energy that makes it easy to cope with stress and impossible to be depressed. In fact, the impact of laughter is so profound that many practitioners claim they no longer need anti depressants. The sustained positive emotions keep them coming back for more.
Participants report significant health improvements. Many felt a reduced frequency of respiratory infections like common cold and flu, while others reported depression lifting, chronic medical problems improving or even disappearing. As the word spread, it was obvious that Laughter Yoga was helping people to become healthier.
Scientifically Proven: Clinical research on Laughter Yoga methods conducted at the University of Graz in Austria, Bangalore (India) as well as in the United States has shown that laughter lowers the level of stress hormones (epinephrine, cortisol, etc) in the blood. It fosters a positive and hopeful attitude. One is less likely to succumb to stress and feelings of depression and helplessness if one is able to laugh away the troubles.
Different Fields of Applications
Laughter yoga in Schools: In India, Laughter yoga has been introduced in many schools in the cities of Surat, Baroda and Bangalore. That includes 10 minutes of laughter in morning assembly followed by five minutes of laughter session in the classrooms at the beginning and at the end of the day.
This regular practice has shown that the mood and atmosphere changes for the better. Teachers and students are happier with a more positive outlook, communication is improved, less discipline is required and attendance improved. Academic results have shown improvement. Apart from India, there are laughter clubs in Ithaca College in NY and Minnesota that attracts many youngsters and are fast becoming popular.
Laughter Yoga for Business World: Scientific research shows us that laughter can help to resolve many major workplace issues, but until now there has been no reliable and effective system to deliver laughter. Humor was the only tool available, but it is not reliable and seldom leads to continuous hearty laughter.
Laughter Yoga is a breakthrough laughter delivery system that can enable a person to laugh continuously for 15 to 20 minutes with short breaks of yogic breathing. Many Laughter Yoga professionals have presented sessions to business with positive results.
The concept is gaining popularity in companies and corporations in India, Denmark, US and many other countries. It is a powerful force for improving staff performance in the workplace. This was recently confirmed by studies in India and the USA that showed substantial stress reduction and a big increase in staff ability to perform their jobs after just three weeks of laughter sessions.
Laughter Yoga with Seniors: Laughter Yoga is being practiced among seniors in many aged care facilities in Canada, USA, Israel and Europe. There is a distinct rise in life expectancy with improvement in health care and advance in medical technology. In fact, ten years from now the number of older people would have almost doubled.
Faced with age and age related troubles, seniors find their physical and mental faculties on the decline. Since the cognitive abilities in seniors are compromised due to senile dementia and Alzheimer's disease, they find it difficult to comprehend humor. Therefore, Laughter Yoga is the ideal form of exercise routine that can help them to get complete health benefits of laughter.
Laughter Yoga with Cancer Patients: There are hundreds of people in laughter clubs all over the world who are suffering from cancer, but laughter has brought a new hope into their lives. Many have reported that regular laughter sessions have benefited them tremendously.
Cancer is the next biggest killer after depression and heart problems. Scientific research has proved that Laughter has a profound impact on the immune system which decides the course of survival of cancer patients. Laughter Yoga has been effectively implemented in many cancer hospitals helping the patients and the care givers to cope with the pain and trauma. Swedish Cancer Hospital in Chicago, USA does regular Laughter Yoga while patients are taking chemotherapy.
Laughter Yoga in Prisons: Laughter yoga is being practiced in several prisons in India, Europe and USA. Famous British actor John Cleese visited Mumbai prison in the year 2001 when he was making documentary for BBC on human expressions. He found that laughter had a major impact on the prisoners and the atmosphere in general lightened.
With increase in crime all over the world, the prisons are over burdened with prisoners harboring negative emotions and thoughts. Laughter Yoga is a great method of dissipating these feelings of anger and frustration. Many prisons in India have found Laughter Yoga an effective tool to release their negative emotions. There are positive changes in prisoner attitude and better prisoner-staff relations and reduced violence.
Laughter Yoga with Physically and Mentally Challenged: Laughter Yoga has made a major difference in the lives of many people with physical and mental disabilities in India, Canada, USA and Portugal. In fact, in Bangalore, India, the introduction of Laughter Yoga for the mentally and the physically challenged children has revealed a marked improvement in their motor and expressive skills and control in hyper activeness.
Many such people who come to these sessions in wheel chairs have shown tremendous improvement in their physical condition and mental health.
Laughter Yoga has also been introduced in many blind schools and among the deaf and mute children to help them cope with their disabilities and generate a more positive attitude, which will help them to enhance their wellbeing.
5 Benefits of Laughter Yoga
One of the most motivating factors for people to join Laughter Yoga Clubs is the belief in the multiple health benefits they will derive from it. It is not about the concept or the philosophy which attracts them; eventually it is only about what they will get and how it will benefit their lives.
Most benefits of Laughter Yoga can be explained under 5 categories that are easy to remember.
1. Health Benefits
The health benefits of laughter come in 2 categories: 1. For people who are not sick and want to stay healthy. 2. For those who have some illness, LY helps to heal faster. People come regularly to the laughter clubs because it helps them to stay fit. It strengthens the immune system and one does not fall sick easily. Laughter Yoga is a powerful cardio workout and just 10 minutes of hearty laughter is equal to 30 minutes on the rowing machine. It increases blood circulation and relaxes the muscles. It is also a powerful antidote for depression, reduces blood pressure, reduces symptoms of allergies, asthma, arthritis and helps in chronic illnesses like cancer. Stress today is the number one killer and more than 70-80 percent of illnesses are due to stress. Laughter Yoga is a single exercise routine which reduces physical, mental and emotional stress simultaneously and brings an emotional balance. People can feel the benefits from the very first session.
2. Personal Life
Your mood states determine the quality of your life. Laughter Yoga has the power to change your mood within minutes by releasing certain chemicals from your brain called endorphins. If your mood is good, you feel good within and will remain cheerful through out the day. Laughter Yoga also helps to develop a sense of humor and you will laugh more in real life. You will always have a smiling face, a positive outlook towards life and very few negative thoughts.
3. Business life
Laughter Yoga is most economical, less time consuming and scientifically proven technique to reduce stress in the workplace. Science tells us that the brain needs 25% more oxygen than other body organs for optimal functioning. Laughter Yoga increases the net supply of oxygen which helps in optimal performance. One feels energized and fresh throughout the day and can work more without getting tired.
Group laughter can create a happy and motivated workforce which includes a strong team building element.
For those in marketing and sales it enhances self confidence and communication skills. In H R trainings Laughter Yoga is a very effective tool for increasing attention span during prolonged sessions. Also, when you are laughing and playing, you are more creative in your business.
4. Social Life
The quality of life and life satisfaction does not depend on how much money, power, position and success you have in life, rather it depends on the number of good friends with whom we have a caring and sharing relationship. Laughter is a powerful tool to connect with people easily. After the basic survival needs what we all need is appreciation and acknowledgement for our emotional development. Laughter clubs provide a rich social network of people who care about one another. This provides a sense of emotional security which resists stress and helps to fight depression which is number one sickness today.
5. Laughing in the Face of Challenges
In times of difficulty, it is not easy to remain calm. By imbibing the essence of Laughter Yoga and its characteristics, one can learn to handle any situation effectively without losing their composure. It will keep a positive mental attitude so that you can cope with negative situations and deal with difficult persons in a much better way than a normal person can.

High school football: No. 3 McGuinness shuts out top-ranked Guthrie
Bishop McGuinness coach Justin Jones felt his team might have been flying under the radar in Class 5A, despite being undefeated and ranked No. 3 after eight weeks of football.
The coach doesn't have to worry about that anymore.
Anyone questioning whether the Irish could compete with the best teams in Class 5A got their answer Friday night in a dominating 32-0 victory over top-ranked Guthrie at Pribil Stadium.
"This win puts us where we thought we were," Jones said. "A lot of people in the state have let us fly under the radar a little bit. Coming up from 4A, a lot of people didn't understand that we were young last year.
"We knew when we came into 5A this year that we wouldn't be able to back down from teams like this."
Opposing offenses are 0-for-October against the Irish after they logged their fourth consecutive shutout. But Friday's performance was far more impressive than the previous three goose-eggs they posted against Western Heights, Guymon and Northwest Classen.
Before Friday, Guthrie had been shut out only once since the 2001 playoffs, and came in having scored at least 36 points in seven of eight games this year.
"I think we prepare more than any team in the state," said senior Cody Chancellor, who had two of McGuinness' three interceptions, along with a 41-yard touchdown catch. "We've been watching the routes they run. We felt like every time they came out, we knew what routes they like to go to out of that formation, and that helped us throughout the whole game."
McGuinness intercepted three passes, recovered one fumble and got two onside kicks, limiting Guthrie to only 40 offensive plays.
The Irish defensive front kept the run game contained as well, allowing only six yards on 20 attempts.
"These guys (Guthrie) can put up the points," linebacker Danny Krenger said. "Our front four, they played their butts off. It was a team effort."
Krenger intercepted a pass at the goal line early that boosted the McGuinness momentum. He also had 25- and 83-yard touchdown receptions, spurring an impressive offensive showing by McGuinness that was only overshadowed by the defense.
Quarterback Jacob Lewis rushed 35 times for 166 yards and two second-half touchdowns, and he threw for 260 yards and a pair of scores as the Irish outgained Guthrie 479-86.
McGuinness (9-0, 6-0) can clinch the District 5A-2 championship with a win against visiting Deer Creek next week, though a loss would put them in a three-way tie with the Antlers and Guthrie to be broken by district points.
Jones simply hopes his team can maintain the focus it had in preparing for Friday night's win.
"We knew if we were gonna be where we want to be ultimately, we've got a six-week playoff starting here tonight," the coach said. "The opponents will never get easier. Every game's gonna get bigger and every game's gonna get tougher.
"We've got to do a good job of prepping for a very good football team, and then see where we're at in the playoffs."

Wyoming Area teachers may have reached a deal on contract
After working four years without a collective-bargaining agreement, Wyoming Area School District teachers may finally have a deal.
Teachers approved a school district offer at a union meeting Wednesday. Union and district officials declined comment on the offer and union vote.
The school board will schedule a special meeting for 6 p.m. Tuesday, officials said. Union President Melissa Dolman said she will comment when the board votes to ratify.
Solicitor Jarrett Ferentino said the school board will address developments in labor relations at Tuesday's meeting.
In April, the school board rejected an arbitration decision on a new agreement. The district and the union went through mandatory nonbinding arbitration because of a four-week strike in September.
In arbitration, the district offered to increase pay 13.34 percent over five years, while the union offered a pay increase of 14.23 percent over the first five years of its six-year offer.
The median salary for 146 teachers in the Wyoming Area School District is $46,870 a year, according to a review of current salaries. Those salaries are based on the 2009-10 pay scale from the last union agreement.
The scale has 16 steps, and each step has 16 columns based on graduate school credits. The lowest starting salary on the scale is $32,206, and salaries on the top step range from $53,388 to $79,729.

The Reserve Bank of Indias liquidity tightening measures to stem the rupees fall found little support from its technical advisers on monetary policy which met ahead of the July policy review, minutes of the technical advisory committee (TAC) showed. The committee comprises of the governor, the four deputy governors and seven external members.
While majority backed the RBIs decision to keep policy rates unchanged, members had divergent views over the liquidity-tightening measures.
The RBI had left policy rates unchanged at the review on July 30 but had taken a series of measures a fortnight before the review to tighten liquidity. The RBI had capped banks borrowings from the daily repo tender and had hiked the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate to 10.25%.
Most members agreed that the current account deficit and the pressure on the rupee were of immediate concern. However views on how to protect the rupee varied sharply. Some members felt that the RBI must allow the rupee to depreciate in order to increase competitiveness of the exports.
One member said that the measures went against the RBIs long-term commitment to growth.
Another member was of the view that instead of these measures, a 100 basis points hike in the policy rate along with a widening of the rate corridor would have worked better, the minutes said.
One member pointed out that by raising the MSF rate, the central bank had increased the width of the rate corridor and thereby implied that it was open for more interest rate volatility. Volatility in the money market distorts the monetary policy signal, affecting its credibility said the member.

The 24-hour phone number for the Consulate General is 4033-8300. If you are calling from the United States, first dial 011-91-40-.
Consular Report of Death Abroad
Even if no assistance is needed, the death of a U.S. citizen, whether a resident or a tourist, should be reported to the Consulate General so that a "Consular Report of Death of an American Citizen Abroad" can be issued. This report is necessary to settle legal and estate matters in the United States. It is an official report written in English and is based on the Indian death certificate. More Information
The Consular Report of Death Abroad will be issued when the following documents are provided:
Original death certificate from local authorities (incurs nominal fee).
Doctor's report with cause of death listed.

Disposition of Remains
- The Consulate General can communicate with the next of kin and communicate their wishes about the disposition of remains to the local authorities.
- Indian regulations require that a deceased person must be cremated, buried, or embalmed within 72 hours of death. Embalmed remains can be held in cold storage until instructions are received from the next of kin about disposition of the remains.

Joyce & I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary and the Christmas holidays in 2009 by taking a trip to Key West, Florida. This was our first trip to the Keys and we enjoyed it very much.
Joyce was diagnosed with ALS about 8 months ago. Going to a place where it would be easily possible to take advantage of tourist activities important. Doing this in Key West was quite easy. Much thanks to the staff at the DoubleTree Hotel for special arrangements!

PUNE: The Indian economy is likely to have grown at 5.5% for the quarter ended September 2012, according to finance minister P Chidambaram, a three-year low that might force the government to produce difficult reforms.
"India cannot afford to grow below 8%...it is not an aspiration. For a developing country like India, it is imperative to have 8% growth," the minister said at the Bankers' Conference on Saturday.

LT "vs" P rated tires
My question is this, the factory tires that came with my explorer were P rated meaning passenger. I up graded to Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor tires which were also P rated. However now i have BF Goodrich All Terrain tires which are "LT" rated meaning Light Truck.
What difference does this make on my stock 4x4 explorer that never tows, does 90% highway, and is used as a daily driver?
LT- Light Truck
P - Passenger
Oh and another question my spare is still the factory Michelin Cross Terrain P rated tire, will this affect handling if i put it on with the LT rated tires?

P-rated tires are the usual tires for "passenger" cars. LT "light truck" tires have tougher construction, usually with a better casing, belts, more plies, etc.
Overall, P-rated tires are more about comfort and sometimes performance, LT tires are for heavy-duty use and usually better at load carrying and taking a beating.
The only thing it really means is the ride, performance, and gas mileage will suffer at the expense of having an aggressive looking off-road tire on there. Plenty of people roll on BFG AT's just for the looks though. If you like 'em , and the ride is good for you, cool.
The Michelin Cross Terrain SUV tires have a good bit more grip on pavement than the BFG AT's, so there would be some handling issues if you pushed it, but you shouldn't do that with a spare or mismatched tires anyway. The only other problem might be any difference in tire diameter, if the BFG's are a different size than the Michelin. If you just use it as a temporary spare that's fine, you can keep that as a spare until the tire needs to be replaced and put another BFG on there. If you get a flat that can't be repaired and have to replace a tire, you can instead buy two new ones, put them on the same axle, and put the good tire from the axle that had the flat on as your spare.
"I think man has always gone where he has been able to go, and I think that when man stops going where he can go, he will have lost a lot. Man has always been an explorer. To me, there's a fascination in thrusting out and going to new places. It's like going through a door because you find the door in front of you." - Michael Collins

Only thing i really noticed was at 42psi (this is the pressure i had the goodyear wrangler silent armor tires at) the BF Goodrich tires seem to crown way to much. Mileage is about the same, give me a few more months to determine exact mileage for these tires. Ride has not changed most likely because im running 35psi rather than 42.
In terms of replacing tires, i hate buying only one, two ore three. If i got an unrepairable flat im more likely to just buy all four tires. The spare is exactly that, a spare, as in temporary, yes its a full size tire but no it wouldn't stay on very long. (ha its no where near needing to be replaced, it probably has less than 100 miles on it if that.)

Hallo ihr alle,
Suzan ist eine ganz nette und zuvorkommende Gastgeberin. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit bei ihr und fühlten uns sehr wohl.
Vielen Dank Suzan
I travel a lot especially the last few years and i usually rent a small apartment but this last trip I decided to rent this room and I'm so happy I did. The area in L.A. Is near just about everything you need,the neighborhood is especially quite and the host (Suzan)is one of the nicest person I met when renting a vacation rental.I hope for my next trip I'll be able to rent this room again. Thank you again for my stay at your house and hopefully will return soon. David
Insgesamt hat uns der Aufenthalt gefallen. Negativ bewerten würde ich die folgenden Dinge:
- das beschriebene, eigene Bad teilt man sich entgegen der Beschreibung mit zwei weiteren Dauermietern vor Ort und muss darüber hinaus durch die öffentlichen Räume - allem voran die Küche - laufen um jenes zu erreichen
- einen Tag vor unserer Abreise wurde uns eröffnet, dass wir noch die Hotel Tax zu zahlen hätten. Dies hat bei 7 Nächten noch einmal 100$ USD ausgemacht und kam für uns recht überraschend. Laut Suzan solle dies hier im Text beschrieben sein, ist es aber eindeutig nicht. Hier kamen wir uns ein wenig überrumpelt vor und hätten uns hier diese Information vorab gewünscht - zumal wir diese Tax weder in Las Vegas, noch in San Francisco (im gleichen Bundesstaat) in regulären Hotels zahlen mussten. Daher kann man sich des Gedankens nicht ganz entledigen, dass hier versucht wurde noch nachträglich etwas Kasse zu machen.
Die Lage war wie beschrieben gut, alles war leicht zu erreichen und der Lautstärkepegel der Umgebung war sehr angenehm.
I have spent a very nice time in the appartment of Suzan. I felt me realy welcome since the first day of my visit. Suzan is a courteous, sincare person. I will certainly spend a further residence by Suzan.
My second stay at Suzans house. I had a great time again :) always would stay again. Maybe in a few years again.
Good place with good environment and good location. Nevertheless, always remember two things if you live in the room or you will feel not that comfortable:
1. Arrive at a proper time. It means try your best to eliminate the possibility of a late flight if your arrive time is late than 11 pm.
2. NEVER EVER eat food in the bedroom. Do not try to watch movies in bed and enjoy some food at the same time. If you do, do not be caught, or your host might ask you leave.
Generally the environment is better than a hotel but if you want to have more freedom it is not the best choice. You have to be careful all the way to prevent unhappy situations. With the same amount if money you paid, the host will not treat you like a hotel staff with patience and overall services. However, you have to pay extra fees to the host for services.
One of the good parts of this residence is that it is not far from Hollywood. I rate 4 stars only for the beautiful environment.
We love our stay with Suzan
The house is beautiful and it looks like a special furnished house from a magazine. It's situated on a perfect place in Los Angeles and you can walk to the Grove if you want. Above all is her hospitality and knowledge of LA and she is there to help you if you need some. We'll return for sure if we come to LA another time and we appreciatie our contact with Suzan.
This stay made our vacation very special. We'll recommend her for everybody who wants to experience LA from the inside and we're gonna miss her special laugh!!
Danny & Saskia
Thank you so much Suzan, although we only had 3 days with you, we felt so welcome as we would visit a dear friend and when we think of our time with you afterwards, we wish that we spent some more time with you! Don't forget to mention, that our room, the bathroom any everything around was great also!
I had a beautiful vacation in Los Angeles. The room was beautiful and tidy and everything was perfect. Everytime I needed help or just someone to talk to, Suzan was there :) I had an amazing time and maybe next year again :)
We stayed at Suzan's house for 3 nights, and we had a wonderful time! The room is spacious, clean and comfortable, and the bed is so soft, you just don't want to get up in the morning! Suzan made us feel very welcome and she gave us lots of useful tips about where to go in LA. She is kind and enthusiastic and we are looking forward to staying here again when we get back to Los Angeles! Staying here is far nicer than staying in a hotel in LA, because you really feel like you are actually living in the city, as opposed to just visiting.

Aphrodite's Debut in the Nude
October 18, 2011
One of the most exciting aspects of a Turkey and Greece cruise is reliving the ancient history that is scattered across the islands and peninsulas. In ancient times and today, people were familiar with Aphrodite, the goddess of love. But it was not until Praxiteles, a sculptor from the 4th century B.C., made his famous work that the world came to know her in the buff.
Praxiteles was the first sculptor to depict Aphrodite in the nude, and the meaning of his bold statement has been dissected by male and female audiences alike ever since. The statue was located at Knidos in Turkey, and many sculptors, historians and scholars traveled there to see Praxiteles' grand piece of work. The ancient statue, destroyed by a fire in A.D. 475, is no longer in Knidos, but its legacy remains.
According to the J. Paul Getty Museum, which houses one of the many copies of Praxiteles' famous work, the model for the sculpture was said to be the sculptor's mistress, Phryne, a notorious courtesan.
In Greek Anthology, Aphrodite remarked on it herself, saying, "Where did Praxiteles see me naked?" Subsequent scholars have hypothesized and argued about the placement of her hand, the bend in her knee and other aspects of the artwork, including certain mythological and historical references, according to the University of Chicago.

Jackson: Film saved life of West Memphis 3 suspect
PARK CITY, Utah Peter Jackson believes Damien Echols would be dead now if not for a 1996 documentary that cast doubt on the man's guilt in three child murders.
And Amy Berg, Jackson's colleague on the Sundance Film Festival premiere "West of Memphis," believes former Death Row inmate Echols and two other men might still be in prison if not for the independent investigation launched by "The Lord of the Rings" filmmaker and his wife, Fran Walsh.
There's no better testament at Sundance to the power of art and artists than "West of Memphis," which premiered Friday night at Robert Redford's independent-film showcase. Sundance films often come from mavericks who challenge the establishment. "West of Memphis" is a tale of artists not only challenging the system, but also beating it.
Jackson, Walsh and Berg said "West of Memphis" amounts to the fair trial Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley - known as the West Memphis Three - never got as Arkansas teenagers when they were convicted in 1994.
"We went into this case believing that they didn't do it, and the facts and the evidence we came out with at the end completely supported that," Jackson said in an interview. "So is the documentary sort of providing the prosecution's point of view? No, it's not. We're not interested in that. They had their go back in 1994. ... The documentary, it's the case against the state, really."
The case was a shocker in the rural Arkansas community where 8-year-old Cub Scouts Michael Moore, Steve Branch and Christopher Byers were slain in 1993. Found naked and hogtied, two of the boys drowned in a drainage ditch, while the third bled to death, his genitals mutilated, evidence prosecutors used to claim the children were killed in a satanic ritual.
The defendants were convicted based in part on a confession Misskelley later recanted. Misskelley and Baldwin were sentenced to life in prison, while Echols was condemned to death and once came within weeks of execution.
The case became a cause after Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky's documentary "Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills," which premiered at Sundance in 1996 and questioned whether justice or misguided public opinion was served in the trial. Over the years, celebrities such as Johnny Depp, Patti Smith, Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks joined the effort to free the men.
Jackson and Walsh watched "Paradise Lost" in 2005 and were outraged over the case. From their home base in New Zealand, they got in touch with Lorri Davis, who had met and married Echols while he was on Death Row and was leading the fight to free the men.
"Justice should be beyond popular opinion, and in this case, it wasn't," Walsh said. "The popular opinion was these guys were guilty, therefore, they're going down. It really was a done deal."
Over the next six years, Jackson and Walsh financed their own investigation, hiring forensics experts, gathering DNA evidence and tracking down witnesses to show that the prosecution had convicted innocent men.
"The way Peter and Fran just attacked the case, it made us feel like we had hope for the very first time," Echols, 37, said in an interview alongside Davis.
The hope was well-founded. Helped by evidence Jackson and Walsh's investigation collected, the case seemed headed toward a retrial.
Then last August, both sides agreed to a rare legal maneuver in which Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley entered guilty pleas that allowed them to maintain their innocence and gain their freedom for prison time already served.

We're excited to share that the Friends of Portland Community Gardens non-profit has been chosen by the Whole Foods at 28th and Burnside as the recipient of its January 12, 2012 community giving "5% Day," where one organization is selected to receive 5% of that day's net sales. For 25 years, the Friends have provided support to the City's community garden program through fundraising and by recruiting and coordinating volunteers.
We're working to add 1,000 new community garden plots by the end of 2012 - these funds will help us move toward that goal. Some projects in the pipeline that might benefit from this fundraiser are Frazer Park in Rose City, Errol Heights in Brentwood-Darlington, Helensview in Sumner, and the Mt. Tabor garden in Mt. Tabor.
Parks' community garden program has provided gardening opportunities for the physical and social benefit of the people and neighborhoods of Portland since 1975. Our 39 gardens, located throughout the city, are operated by Parks staff and volunteers and offer a variety of activities.
As an added incentive, the Friends will be raffling off a $100 gift card for Bogs Footwear if you visit their table at Whole Foods on January 12.

There's nothing I love more than adorable celebrity babies. Celebrities babies hanging out with their attractive celebrity dads? Perfection.
Josh Duhamel took his baby son Axl out for breakfast this morning, gigantic baby carrier and all. I love the way dads handle their babies sometimes. Josh has Axl thrown into the crook of one arm like a little football. Too cute.
Josh and Axl even matched as they went on their outing. Josh's bright blue hat and shoes matched perfectly with Axl's bright blue pants. I can't, it's too adorable.
Josh and Axl's day of bonding didn't stop there. Josh later Instagrammed a picture of Axl wearing a bright orange North Dakota sweatshirt with the caption, "Representing the ND…and being photobombed by our dog Zoe." Indeed, Zoe is peeking her head into the shot from the background. Babies and dogs, my two favorite things.
Babies and dogs seem to be Josh's favorite things too, as he's also slightly obsessed with his dog Zoe and rescue dogs in general. Is there anything more attractive? No, no there is not.

KET School Video Project Challenge — Digital Citizenship
Video Upload Page |Digital Citizenship Videos | All KET School Project Videos
Student Videos About Being Good and Safe Digital Citizens
In addition to our year-round invitation to share student-produced videos on all subjects at KET's School Video Project website, the KET School Video Project Challenge — Digital Citizenship, was an opportunity to integrate multimedia technology and media studies with Kentucky Kentucky Core Academic Standards for Technology in a fun activity for project-based learning. It was also s a chance to win a greenscreen and light kit for making more great student projects! See below for the results of this project's drawing winners.
Project focus was on school and community efforts to help Kentucky students be good and safe digital citizens, respectful of others' rights and feelings while protecting themselves as they navigate the Internet, make and share multimedia projects, participate in social networking, and develop critical media awareness. Student videos could be brief projects like PSAs (public service announcements) on safe and respectful digital behavior (not texting while driving); news-story expolorations on how to develop media awareness and critical viewing skills; recorded discussions and solutions to common problems such as cyber-bullying and more.
Participation and Prize Drawing Winners
All Kentucky public, private, and homeschools who uploaded a video to us by Friday, May 2, 2014 were automatically entered in a prize drawing held on Monday, May 5, 2014 for one of two greenscreen lighting kits!
This project's prize drawing winners, picked at random, are:
- Dixie Heights High School, Ft. Mitchell, Kenton County Schools. Their video, Texting While Driving, is a very well-made PSA.
- The Junior Council on Diversity and HCEC-TV, Hardin County Schools, who submitted Protect Yourself and Others, one of a comprehensive three-part video education series produced by students from Hardin County area schools, including private schools and schools from the Elizabethtown Independent district.
Thanks to all of the students and teachers who made and uploaded the fine works for our KET School Video Project Challenge: Digital Citizenship. Please watch the KET School Video Project site for upcoming student video project challenges and prizes. Next up, a special video project challenge to make an arts-based video! Either an art video itself, or a video focusing on an aspect of the arts.
Student Digital Citizenship Video Examples
Mullins Elementary's, "Put Down That Text," is a good example of a public service announcement (PSA) video warning against the dangers of texting while driving. Texting While Driving, by Conner Middle School in Boone County, is an excellent anti-texting while driving PSA that uses greenscreen video effects. Mason County High School also made an excellent anti-texting while driving video, Pay Attention, Stay Alive, that features excellent use of greenscreen effects. And there you have it: three great Digitial Citizenship video examples made by elementary, middle, and high school students! Please participate in our latest student video challenge by uploading your own videos!
Curriculum Connections
Kentucky's Core Academic Standards for Technology at the primary, intermediate, middle, and high school levels, lists many elements of Digital Citizenship under the Big Ideas Safety and Ethical/Social Issues (technology behavior and safety), and Research, Inquiry/Problem-Solving and Innovation (critical thinking skills to solve a variety of problems in real-life situations, and to make informed decisions — also known as critical media awareness).
National Technology Standards for students from ISTE lists Digital Citizenship as number 5 of their 6 basic standards for student use of technology:
"Students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior. Students advocate and practice safe, legal, and responsible use of information and technology; exhibit a positive attitude toward using technology that supports collaboration, learning, and productivity; and demonstrate personal responsibility for lifelong learning.exhibit leadership for digital citizenship."
ISTE also lists Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making, as their #4 student technology standard, which is often included under general Digital Citizenship study: "Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources."
Get into video production for project-based learning!
If seeing excellent student-produced videos about Digital Citizenship makes you want to produce video projects with your students, here is some helpful information to get you going. Watch for new, special-focus video project challenges we'll add to the KET School Video Project website. We hope you'll participate and share your students' work!

An important aspect of Digital Citizenship is Critical Media Awareness, also taught as Media Literacy and Media Education: instruction in how to analyze various media constructions in film, television, radio, and Internet programming and advertisements in order to guard against effects such as misrepresentation and manipulation. Critical Media Awareness is useful in helping students learn how to gather and use more accurate information from media so that they can make better informed decisions about politics, government, and other social concerns. Students analyze and evaluate how various media are made and learn how to recognize propaganda, censorship, and bias in news and public affairs programming, along with stereotyping, cyberbullying, and other negative media use. By creating and producing their own media messages in video projects, students demonstrate an understaning of media construction and how to use it effectively to make their own independent, fair and non-biased media productions for school newscasts, websites and blogs, podcasts, digital storytelling projects, and more.

Weather | Superstorm Sandy leaves waves of destruction and weeks of cleanup
NEW YORK—Sandy killed people from Haiti to New York City—at least 70 once it came ashore along the New Jersey coast on Oct. 29. It shut down all air travel in the Northeast—including hundreds of flights from overseas—and brought floods onto the runways of New York's LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy airports. It shut down the New York Stock Exchange for the first time since the 9/11 attacks. It shut down the federal government for two days and prompted officials at the Labor Department to consider delaying the critical final jobs report before the election—all unprecedented. The massive natural disaster slammed to a halt the presidential campaigns for a day and brought President Obama off the trail and back to the Oval Office. In the critical final days of the campaign, Superstorm Sandy overwhelmed all other news.
For a period, the storm marooned Manhattan and one of the largest population centers in the United States from the rest of the world, flooding tunnels and prompting authorities to shut down all bridges into the city. For New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority, one of the largest transit systems in the world, the storm was the worst in the subway's 108-year history. The MTA shut down trains for days and at press time had no estimate of when it would be running again: "Our subway system and salt water do not mix," said MTA chairman Joseph Lhota.
In the flooded Queens neighborhood of Breezy Point, the storm sparked a fire that wiped out at least 80 homes. It tossed a tanker on the shore of Staten Island. It brought unseasonal snow to the Appalachians.
Sandy was 800 miles wide and cut power to at least 7.5 million people. It swallowed up Atlantic City, N.J., where it made its most direct hit, and washed away famous boardwalks in Ocean City, Md. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg called it a "once-in-a-long-time storm."
Manhattan went dark when the storm hit Oct. 29, with midtown and lower Manhattan losing power. Times Square's outrageous lights still glared over empty streets. A power substation exploded in lower Manhattan. Battery Park was under water and water gushed into the cavity where construction continues on the new World Trade Center. With emergency personnel overwhelmed by 911 calls, they boated to stranded citizens in Staten Island and other boroughs as the floods peaked late Monday evening at the high tide, some rescues taking place via Twitter as one New York Fire Department dispatcher monitored the social network. "We don't get a lot of rowing experience," noted one New York policeman as a crew rowed over waterlogged streets to tie a rope to a stranded vehicle before it floated away.
At New York University's Tisch Hospital, one of the city's largest, backup generators failed after power went out—a nightmare scenario for patients relying on machines like ventilators. In the darkness, the staff carried babies from the neonatal intensive care unit down flights of stairs to a fleet of ambulances waiting to evacuate them to other hospitals with power.
Relief efforts took off the next morning—and are likely to continue into the weeks ahead. Three percent of New Yorkers identify themselves as churchgoing Christians, but that makes the Christian community tight-knit. City churches worship together once a month in a service called Citywide Worship. That translated to an immediate network of churches responding to the storm, even as many of them were flooded themselves. On Oct. 30, several, including the network under Trinity Grace Church, had already set up relief funds. At Redeemer Presbyterian Church's Upper West Side congregation, members offered their homes to those without. Hope for New York, affiliated with Redeemer, was coordinating relief efforts among churches—most of them in the city neighborhood base. In Sunnyside, Queens, Grace Fellowship pastor Jon Storck simply walked out with his congregants into that neighborhood to offer their services to any in need.
