Verhelle, Pieter (b. ca. 1660)
Pieter Verhelle, b. ca. 1660 at Haarlem, Holland, was a preacher of the Flemish Mennonite congregation at Haarlem until 1693, when he moved to Hamburg, Germany, and served there from 1694 until after 1710. A sermon of his, Predigt, is published with Roosen's Unschuld (Ratzeburg, 1702). Like his father-in-law, Gerhard Roosen, he held the conservative Zonist doctrines, whereas Jan de Lanoy, also a preacher of the Hamburg-Altona congregation, was more Lamist (liberal). In his sermons Verhelle often attacked de Lanoy's views. Pieter Verhelle was a member of the Verhelle family that stemmed from Mennonite emigrants from Flanders, Belgium, found at Haarlem from ca. 1600.

As the Mt. Rushmore process enters the home stretch, we enter the home of the Raiders.
Good luck, Oakland/L.A./Oakland fans, whittling our list of 12 finalists down to four.
Cast your votes now. The finalists will be revealed at 5:00 p.m. ET/2:00 p.m. PT on Monday's edition of Pro Football Talk on NBCSN.
Don't you like how we included the PT reference? Of course, some will point out that the ET came first, confirming yet again the existence of an East Coast bias.

These innovations can change the future of fashion
From grape leather and manure-based fabric to solar textiles, content thread and denim-dyed denim. Vote in the Global Change Award and you can help re-invent the whole industry.
In a not too distant future your shirt can be made of cow manure, your shoes of grape leather, and the colour on your jeans could come from the colour of an older pair. And instead of oil, our nylon clothes could be produced with solar energy, and the garments you choose to recycle could be sown with one digital thread that reveals their "ingredient list", making sure that every last string can be re-used.
For the second year in a row, an expert panel (handpicked by non-profit H&M Foundation) has selected the top five innovations from a pool of nearly 2,900, to split a one million euro grant. However, it's not going to be an equal split, which is why the foundation wants your help to decide which innovations get the most of it.
"In this second round of Global Change Award, we received 2,885 innovative ideas from 130 countries, which is even more than last year. Cross-border challenges call for a cross-border approach. I am convinced that by bringing people from different industries, with different backgrounds and perspectives together, we can make a fundamental shift in the fashion industry to protect both the people and the planet," says Karl-Johan Persson, board member of H&M Foundation and CEO of the H&M group.
Keep swiping (or scrolling) to find out more about the winning innovations, and head to globalchangeaward.com to vote for your favourite.
…to haute couture! By extracting and using the valuable cellulose in cow manure, this innovation could make it possible to create a biodegradable textile from, well, bull shit.
Recycled denim is already a great asset to the fashion industry. This innovation finds even more use for the fabric. By breaking down old denim into fine particles, it could be used as a colouring powder to dye new denim, or to make prints on other textiles.
Instead of using oil, this innovation suggests that we use solar power, plant waste and water to create decomposable nylon. And if this isn't enough, the nylon also binds greenhouse gases into the material, contributing to a zero-emissions world.
Weaving a tiny RFID thread with a digitalised "ingredients list" into the garment, the recycling process will become much more efficient and less will go to waste, as it's suddenly clear what materials the garment consists of.
Using leftovers from wine production to produce fine vegetal leather is good news for animal welfare and eliminates the need for oil to make synthetic leather. The fact that the grape skins and stalks are used for something good, instead of combustion, is an extra plus.
The online vote is open from 27 March to 2 April. The Global Change Award Ceremony takes place in Stockholm on 5 April, where the allocation of the 1,000,000 euros will be made public. Read more and vote here.
• The H&M Foundation is a non-profit global foundation, privately funded by the Stefan Persson family, founders and main owners of H&M. Its mission is to drive long-lasting positive change and improve living conditions by investing in people, communities and innovative ideas.
• Since 2013, the Stefan Persson family has donated 1.1 billion Swedish krona (USD 154 million/EUR 123 million) to the Foundation.
• The first Global Change Award was launched in August 2015 and is an innovation challenge in the fashion industry. This is one of the world's biggest challenges for early stage innovation and the first such initiative in the fashion industry.


text: KMWorld Trend-Setting Products of 2009 Aug 28, 2009 Hugh McKellar This article appears in the issue September 2009, Trend-Setting Products 2009 [Vol 18, Issue 8] We first published our list of Trend-Setting Products in 2003, when portals and smart enterprise suites were hot, and robust content management offerings were entering adulthood. Folks were wondering about the scope of the Tyco case, and Enron was just starting to show up on the radar.Service-oriented architectures were beginning to take shape, and both memory and storage were quite expensive. Software as a service (not merely hosted applications) was at its very early stages. The cloud existed only outside.A lot of things have change since then, but our criteria for inclusion on the list haven't changed a whit. Although the composition of our judging panel includes some different names from the 2003 edition, it still consists of editorial colleagues, analysts, system integrators, users and vendors themselves. Like usual, they request anonymity so they are protected from any negative feedback.We've selected some 130 different products upon which we all agree—more than we have in previous editions because the landscape is far more challenging than it has been in the past. They represent what we believe are the solutions that best exemplify the spirit of innovation demanded by the current economy, while providing their customers with the unique tools and capabilities to move and grow beyond the recession.Some have been around for a while, a testimony to the limber execution of their initial mission of adaptability. Others are relatively new, and their uniqueness points to (what we believe should be) their much wider adoption. Are these the only trend-setting products on the market? The answer is a resounding no. They do represent the ones best suited to meet the needs of KMWorld readers. They all have been designed with a clear understanding of customers' needs.I hope you'll spend the time required to explore what the products can do to solve at least some of the vexing problems we all face today.5280 Solutions: Dynamic Filer—automates the process of scanning and filing paper documents into SharePoint.A2iA: A2iA DocumentReader—classification of digitized documents into categories (letter, identity papers, contract, etc.) based on both their geometry and their content.

Carmelo Anthony, Apolo Ohno, Dana Torres Join Team Refuel For 'Got Chocolate Milk?'
By Barry Janoff
March 12, 2012: The Milk Processor Education Program (MilkPEP), best known for its "Got Milk?" campaign, has signed deals with a bevy of sports partners to support to its athlete-targeted program "highlighting the benefits of refueling with low-fat chocolate milk after strenuous exercise."
As part of the new Reuel "Got Chocolate Milk?" campaign, low-fat chocolate milk will become the "official refuel beverage" of the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series, Ironman and Ironman 70.3 Series, USA Swimming, Life Time Fitness and the Challenged Athletes Foundation.
Low-fat chocolate milk is also in the third year of an official alliance with USA Basketball. Among the specific elements, USA Basketball Men's National Team and New York Knicks member Carmelo Anthony will be featured as a "team captain" in "Got Chocolate Milk?" TV and print ads, and will "showcase how low-fat chocolate milk is a staple of his post-workout recovery routine through online videos."
The campaign — which MilkPEP said is the first "milk mustache-less campaign in 17 years" — was unveiled this past weekend at the 20th Annual Endurance LIVE Awards in Los Angeles. Among the athletes there, who will be part of the larger Team Refuel push, were speed-skater Apolo Anton Ohno; swimmers Dara Torres, Ricky Berens and Chloe Sutton; Ironman triathletes Chris Lieto and Dr. Andy Baldwin; and Sarah Reinertsen, the first female leg-amputee to complete in the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii.
Marketing will feature athletes in multi-media advertising, digital and social media, training videos, personal appearances and other experiential activation. Tag line for the campaign: "My after."
In addition to Carmelo Anthony, 12-time swimming medalist Dara Torres will star in a new TV commercial for the campaign as well as in a series of Webisodes on gotchocolatemilk.com documenting her training, recovery and preparations for the Summer Olympics. Five USA Swimming athletes will star in a national "got chocolate milk?" print ad: Berens, Sutton, Nathan Adrian, Peter Vanderkaay and Amanda Weir.
"So many elite athletes already recognize the benefits of refueling with chocolate milk so it's exciting to see some of the world's biggest and most respected sporting organizations also getting behind the message," Miranda Abney, senior marketing manager of MilkPEP, Washington, D.C., said in a statement. "It's important that athletes know what they do after a strenuous workout, like refueling with low-fat chocolate milk, can help them perform at their best during the next bout of exercise."

The first thing I did was pretend I was a Channel 7 Chicago news weather forecaster during calendar. The kids L.O.V.E.D this & made the usual
I always do a HUGE Dr. Seuss unit and group my students with their "Seuss Partners". After they practice reading it a few times I let them record each other with the Easi-Speak Microphone & then they listened to themselves. This handy little microphone is basically a wireless recorder. After demonstrating one time my students were able to independently record & listen. Three groups would "record" a day & then listen to themselves & make suggestions. This worked out great with my reluctant & most advanced readers.
For my summer project, I plan to record myself reading various popular children's books & download the MP3 files onto an ipod for my Daily 5 listening center. Audio books can be very costly & the kids LOVE when I read to them! I have more ideas below!
Suggested Uses:
1. Speech therapy
2. Fluency
3. Phonics
4. Math facts
5. Interventions
6. Podcasts
7. Post readings on classroom website or blog
8. Dramatic play
9. Read to Someone or Read to Self during Daily 5
10. Assessment

Security Measures Heightened at Kentucky Derby After Boston Bombing
(LOUISVILLE, Ky.) -- Reworked security plans have been implemented at a number of upcoming sporting events, including Saturday's Kentucky Derby, in hopes of minimizing the risks of an attack similar to that of the Boston Marathon bombing.
"After Boston, these big events cannot even begin to roll the dice and say, 'Maybe we can skip here or there,'" Good Morning America sports contributor Christine Brennan said. "They've got to go all in and be as strong with their security as they have ever been."
As spectators arrive at Churchill Downs for the famed Kentucky Derby on Saturday, they will have to leave their coolers, cans, and glass bottles behind. While Derby fans' trademark hats are still permissible, snapping photos at the race will only be allowed if the camera doesn't have a detachable lens.
Despite the heightened security measures, it is still possible for individuals to evade stricter rules.
According to an arrest report, a 44-year-old man was able to sneak into Millionaires' Row at Churchill Downs without a ticket on Thursday. He then allegedly sat at a table and threatened to shoot people.
He was later taken into custody. Authorities did not find a weapon on the man.
The Kentucky Derby is not the only event where authorities plan to be vigilant. In preparation for the NBA Playoffs, the league told ABC News in a prepared statement that safety was always a priority.
"We regularly practice a wide range of state of the art security measures in all of our arenas," the NBA said.
Meanwhile, at the Long Island Marathon, authorities will have radiation detectors and police explosives-sniffing dog unit along the course of the race to identify any potential threats.
Only runners will be permitted at the starting line area, only clear bags distributed by the race's organizers will be permitted in bag check, and spectators won't be allowed to bring any bags into the finish line area, according to the marathon's website.
Following the Boston Marathon attacks on April 15, Lou Marcini, director of the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Miss., told ABC News that security at large sporting events "is very difficult to ensure."
"If I go to a marathon tomorrow, are we going to be completely secure? The answer is probably not," Marciani said. "We'll do the best we can."

New players, new uniforms.
That's Thursday's theme for the Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings, as both teams unveiled new threads just hours before the start of the 2013 NFL Draft.
At first blush, the Dolphins have gone further in re-imagining their look.
Miami's re-engineered garb "stays true to its roots, while harnessing the city's modern cutting-edge characteristics," according to Nike. Flush with aqua, coral and white tones, the Dolphins' new uniforms have a sharp, streamlined look (and big points for the carefully stitched "MIAMI" over the belt).
The Vikings chose to unveil their new duds for fans at their 2013 Miller Lite Draft Party.
Minnesota's updated garb -- also engineered by Nike and described as "a modern representation of Nordic culture combined with the Vikings' long-standing football tradition" -- deserves credit for honoring the team's roots. Bottom line: Your grandfather will still recognize these guys.
The matte purple helmet and black facemask are rugged, while the jersey numbers feature curves "that reflect the bow of a Vikings ship."
"These uniforms embrace the strong tradition of the Vikings but add a contemporary feel that speaks to the future of this organization," Vikings owner and president Mark Wilf told the team's official site. "We believe Vikings fans will be extremely proud of the new uniforms."
Vikings and Dolphins faithful: It's your turn to chime in.

Scouts help save capsized family
Four Boy Scouts from Ann Arbor helped saved a family from possible drowning in a whitewater river after a sudden thunderstorm capsized the family's boat.
The Scouts from St. Thomas the Apostle School received a "Good Save'' from their troop. The award honors boys who have acted in timely defense of life or property. They have also been nominated for a national award for heroism from the Boy Scouts of America.
"We worked real hard with the boys to be alert and capable outdoorsmen and they did us proud,'' said Bob Geier, St. Thomas' scouting coordinator.
On Aug. 2, Ryan Hibbs, 15, Reggie Thornton, 14, Ray Batra, 15, and Peter Zekany, 14, were participating in a whitewater kayak clinic on the final day of a two-week troop camping trip.
The boys were paddling the Middle Youghiogheny River in southeastern Pennsylvania when the area was hit by a sudden storm with gusting wind, horizontal upstream rain, and hail, Geier said.
As the Scouts were paddling the last rapid down to the takeout, they were near a family of four on a self-guided float down the river in an inflatable raft.
The family lost control of the raft in the storm and hit a large rock, flipping the raft and pinning them in the undercut.
Hibbs led the effort, rescuing the father, who told the Scouts that none of the family members knew how to swim, and urged them to rescue his wife and children. Hibbs had the father grab Zekany's boat so that he could assist the rest of the family.
Thornton and Batra rescued the two children. Together with Zekany, they towed the victims to shore through the rapids and downriver to the takeout area about 300 yards downstream and across the current.
"We weren't really scared that things wouldn't turn out,'' said Batra. "We knew we were pretty close to the takeout point on the river. But the storm came on so quickly and it was so intense, and then of course the family was very freaked out when their raft went over.''
"The family was very freaked out, especially after they got on land. None of us had picked up the mother because we couldn't reach her, and they were very freaked out for the mom.''
Paddling upstream, Geier found the mother, who had been swept free of the pinned raft, and washed near enough to shore by the current to be rescued by cyclists who had responded to her shouts for help.
Geier said he doesn't know what would have happened to the family had the Scouts not been there. They were wearing guide-issued life jackets, but jackets can come off, and they don't always prevent drowning, he said.
Just last month, a teenage girl wearing a life jacket drowned in that same river after her kayak overturned. Her death was the second at that rapid in nine days and the third that summer at the site.
"People don't always appreciate how powerful and dangerous water can be, even if it's fun,'' he said.
The rescued family was dressed only in bathing suits. The Scouts wore insulated layers and helmets to protect them from rocks.
Minutes after the rescue, another group of kids on rafts ended their trip shivering and crying because of the storm. The Scouts helped them, too, Geier said.

The former Christo's restaurant building has been purchased by the state's Division of Capital Management and Maintenance for $1.7 million on behalf of Massasoit Community College.
BROCKTON – The state completed the purchase of the former Christo's restaurant on behalf of Massasoit Community College earlier this week.
The 16,287-square-foot building sold for $1.7 million, according to the state Division of Capital Management and Maintenance. Records maintained by the Brockton Assessors Department showed the landmark property was valued at just under $1.3 million.
The sale has cleared the way for the site to become the home of Massasoit's new Allied Health and Science Building, a $27.4 million project that was announced by Gov. Deval Patrick in November while he was visiting the city.
The building, which will feature state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories, will house the college's nursing, respiratory care and radiological technology programs.
Laurie Maker, a spokeswoman for Massasoit, said the college will be holding an event to unveil the construction plans and timetable for the project soon.
The deal is not the first time that Massasoit has acquired a former Christo's property.
In June 1997, Massasoit acquired Christo's II, a function hall next to the restaurant that the college turned into the Massasoit Conference Center.
That property was purchased by the Division of Capital Management and Maintenance for $1.55 million.
Christo's closed its doors for the last time on Dec. 31 after a half-century of feeding guests.
The landmark Brockton restaurant was founded by Christos Tsaganis, dubbed the "Greek Salad King" by former Gov. Michael Dukakis, and became a local favorite over its 50-year history.
Owners Gigi Johnson and Maria Samson, daughters of Tsaganis, are planning to open a "Christo's to Go!" restaurant on Bedford Street in Whitman.
The new location will only offer take-out service, with benches for waiting customers but no tables. Initial foods will include Christo's signature Greek salad, salad dressing, soup, pizza, dessert and prepared family meals.
Edward Donga may be reached at email@example.com.

Talk:Flag Ceremonies
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
21 words
Looks like 49 words to me, not counting the Pledge, the Oath, and the Law. Maybe the "21 words" comment should be removed. (I would just do it, but I don't know whether WP:BOLD applies here.) Jordan Brown 11:53, March 19, 2013 (EDT)
FM 31-21.5, the US Army Drill and Ceremonies manual, in section 15-8, uses "retire" to refer to removing the flags from the front of the room at the conclusion of an event. That would seem to pretty authoritatively rule out reserving "retire" for taking flags out of service. Jordan Brown 00:17, June 7, 2013 (EDT)

'Their' is more natural than 'its', in my opinion. We'd use 'cakes' rather than 'cake' unless we were talking about a specific type, such as 'Christmas cake'.When we are talking about the quality of cakes in a cake shop, is it natural to use 'its' instead of 'their'?
I think its cake is the best in town.

Glass manufacturer looks to biomimicry for design inspiration
A lookout tower in Lindisfarne is the first UK building to use a new glazing designed to save the lives of birds.
Each year millions of birds die by crashing into glazed buildings but Ornilux – a new glazing developed by German manufacturer Arnold Glas – is intended to make the lookout tower and visitor centre at Lindisfarne bird-friendly.
The glazing system joins a growing trend in product design towards biomimicry, where technology simulates designs found in nature. In this instance, Arnold Glas has taken inspiration from the orb-weaver spider whose webs reflect UV light to prevent birds flying through them. A mesh of lines coated onto the glass - barely visible to humans but also reflecting UV radiation - alerts birds to its presence.
The Max Planck Institute for Ornithology supported the development of Ornilux by conducting extensive field testing in the Radolfzell Bird Sanctuary to investigate a bird's ability to recognize glass sheeting.
Of 108 test flights featuring 19 species of wild birds, 82 flew towards the plain glass and avoided the Ornilux. The product is claimed, therefore, to reduce bird collisions by 76%.
Based on these test results, Ornilux is now recommended to minimize the effects of bird-strike in buildings with large glass installations – without requiring the use of visual barriers which are disturbing to people.
Previous attempts to divert birds included attatching stickers to glazing. However Swiss tests have shown these to have almost no effect, so they have been taken off the market. The UV coating makes no reduction in the glazing transparency.
Ornilux is impact-resistant and insulated and can be used in all window or facade installations, just like conventional insulated glass.
Euan Millar, director of Icosis, the architects who designed the Lindisfarne centre, said: 'With so much glass in the tower we were concerned with birds striking the glazing in particular. The Ornilux product should help to protect the birds and ensure the native wildlife is unaffected by the new visitor facility.'

Good news for all bloggers who have been experiencing problems with missing editing icons in the new post page.
It has nothing to do with Blogger and nothing to do with internet browsers (both IE and FF didn't work for me). It is actually Singnet's problem. It seems to affect singnet users only I think.
Here's a solution from the forum for those using Internet Explorer.
Tools -> Internet Options
Click on "Connections" page tab
Click on "LAN Settings" button (if you are using Broadband)
Check "Use a proxy server for your LAN ..." checkbox
Click on "Advanced" button
Under HTTP type, input "proxy.singnet.com.sg" for proxy address and "8080" for port
It works for me!

The Snowzilla Polarpocalypse Mani
Baby, it's cold outside! Since I live in Los Angeles, I'm blissfully unaffected by the POLAR VORTEX that's been pillaging the U.S. I do, however, have lots of friends and family who are dealing with The Polarpocalypse, and all the pictures of snow floating around the The Gram and FB have put me in the mood for a white mani.
This was a very easy manicure to do. I began with two coats of OPI Alpine Snow (so aptly named) and let it dry. Once the polish was mostly set, I applied the Swarovski crystal stickers I'd been hoarding.
What's cool about this product is that the sticker itself is completely clear, and it holds the crystals in place so you don't need to spend time painstakingly placing the gems on your nails. The other nice thing is that there's a little chart included to recommend which sticker goes with which nail. You could go rogue and pavé your own way (ha), but I stuck with their suggestion (hahaha).
Next, I put on a nice thick layer of Seche Vite, being sure to coat the edges on the stickers to make them better seal to my nails. Anything to avoid the dreaded "hair-catching" syndrome.
This is a great manicure for a special event or party-filled weekend, but be warned: it's not very long-lasting. Despite my best efforts to seal the deal with Seche Vite, the stickers did begin to come off by Day 4 and by the end of Day 5, the polish was not looking so pretty. But it was fun while it lasted!

Skype Deliberately Crippling Functionality of iPhone and WinMo and Verizon Apps?
from the New!-Improved!-Exclusive!-Broken! deptThere's something anti-competitive afoot in the 'VoIP over 3G' space this year. Let me run you through a timeline, and see if you can't spot the dirty pool:
- Skype has had a highly functional VoIP client for Windows Mobile devices for a few years. It allowed smartphone customers to use most features of Skype over WiFi OR a carrier's cellular data network. It was distributed around the carriers direct to customers of Skype, and was designed for those customers' benefit.
- March 2009: Skype on iPhone is launched, but is unable to do VoIP over the 3G data channel because AT&T and Apple blocked that functionality. Skype, Google, the FCC, and consumers cried "foul" at AT&T and Apple.
- Oct. 2009: After considerable FCC and consumer pressure, AT&T relents, and allows VoIP over 3G (and was even publicly applauded by Skype's CEO Josh Silverman). Skype users, naturally, expect an updated Skype version that will leverage 3G data.
- Jan 16, 2010: Skype releases a new iPhone version which DOESN'T take advantage of the new leeway AT&T (and ostensibly Apple) allow for VoIP over 3G. Skype points fingers, mostly back at Apple.
- Jan 27, 2010: Apple removes any 3G VoIP restrictions. Now there is nothing holding Skype from doing VoIP over 3G on iPhone.
- Mid Feb, 2010: At MWC in Barcelona, Verizon and Skype announce a special version of the Skype app that will run on Verizon. While most press outlets rejoice at the "openness" Verizon wireless is finally showing, it turns out to be a limited, crippled version, which is designed to fit Verizon's agenda, NOT customer wishes. This version can use the 3G data network, but just for chat and 'control', not for voice. It requires a >$10/mo data plan, is not available for phones with Wi-Fi, and 'Skype out' cannot be used to make domestic phone calls. In this deal, it appears that VZW paid Skype for some exclusivity in the USA.
- Mid-Feb, 2010: Also at MWC, Skype CEO Silverman tells Om Malik that we can expect 3G VoIP on iPhone "Very soon", with no firm commitment.
- Feb. 26, 2010: Skype completely pulls it's very functional Windows Mobile apps with little explanation, and no suggestion of when they might return. The app, which works fine, just goes away. Why pull the most functional Skype mobile app and leave only crippled versions?
Looking at the timeline above, it's pretty easy to guess what's going on here. Skype has been negotiating with Verizon Wireless for some exclusive deal in the USA. But unlike the relatively good, open Skype deal enjoyed by Hutch "3" subscribers in the UK, the Verizon version is crippled with confusing limitations, complications, conditions. It's clear the Verizon goal is to use Skype to upsell data plans to users who don't yet have one, and to drive or retain Minutes of Use of cellular voice traffic. Skype just sold its US mobile users down the river! Skype still promotes "Skype Mobile" on its US web pages, but if you click on any OS like Android or Blackberry, you'll see the bold headline "Coming Soon: Skype on America's most reliable wireless network." And are basically told to wait for the exclusive product.
The only reason Skype offered for retracting the WinMo app is "because we want to offer our new customers an improved mobile experience – much like the version that has proved so popular on the iPhone..." Wait...Is that the same version that annoyed users because it couldn't do VoIP on 3G? And how does killing a product with no replacement offer an "improved mobile experience"? Seems like more of an absent mobile experience.
Going forward, this also could position Skype well for offering a premium paid version of a fully functional app at a future date, when exclusive deals expire. A freemium model would be less unsavory than the exclusive/crippled structure that we apparently have for now. At least with freemium, the free market can choose to pay or not from any given carrier. With the exclusive/crippled structure, customers have little choice - except the choice to use another VoIP provider who is focused on giving end users what they want.
The result of this exclusive deal is, essentially, to deprive an entire country of the value of a good VoIP service (Skype) on mobile phones, and instead to offer us a crippled version that is designed not to delight any user, but to delight a carrier. How ironic, then, that Skype's Silverman has been at the forefront of the push for more "open" networks:
"Nonetheless, the positive actions of one company are no substitute for a government policy that protects openness and benefits consumers. We're all looking forward to further developments that will let people use Skype on any device, on any network."or when he said this from a September lobby trip to DC:
"We have witnessed certain broadband providers unilaterally block access to phone calls delivered over data networks and implement technical measures that degrade the performance of peer-to-peer software distributing lawful content. And as many members of the Internet community and key congressional leaders have noted, there are compelling reasons to be concerned about the future of openness."Compelling reasons, indeed. It seems that in this case, AT&T actually followed through with their promises to be more "open" while Skype and Verizon have just painted a big "open" sign on the gates of the walled garden. Enter at your own risk.

Mustang MonthlyHow To Chassis Suspension
How To Install A Four-Link Rear Suspension
Heidts Four-Link, Coilover Rear Suspension Enhances The Handling Abilities For '65-'70 Mustangs
There's no question that leaf-spring vintage Mustangs can be made to handle pretty well. With updates such as mid-eye leaf springs, performance shocks, and a rear antisway bar, cornering prowess can be raised to a respectable level.
But when you make the move to a three- or four-link system, which eliminates the leaf springs and adds a Panhard bar or a Watt's link along with coilover shocks, you've clearly moved into a different realm of suspension design and technology.
While there are several rear coilover suspension systems on the market for '65-'70 Mustangs and all have their unique design elements, two things they all offer are ride-height adjustability and better ride quality. There's no getting around the fact that a coilover suspension is going to improve the ride quality over a 40-year-old leaf-spring suspension. That's mainly due to the fact that to get a similar effect on handling improvement, the springs in a coilover system don't have to be as stiff as they do with leaf springs.
To quickly examine various designs on the market, you'll find the main players have a three-link with a torque arm as the third link; those setups usually include a Watt's link. Another design is a triangulated four-link that designers feel will work well without a Panhard bar or a Watt's link. A third school of thought is the system we're showing here. Offered by Heidts Hot Rod Shop, this arrangement is a straight four-link that also uses a Panhard bar. We stopped in at Reenmachine and watched our friend Pete Waydo install it on a customer's '68 fastback.
All three designs have merit and it's pretty much a matter of personal preference. In any case, a coilover design is worlds beyond what a leaf-spring setup offers. And we're sure many vintage Mustang owners will want to consider the previously mentioned attributes of better ride quality and the option to adjust ride height.

The Vietnam War Veterans Oral History Collection holds more than a dozen interviews with veterans who give an account of their experiences during the Vietnam War. The interviewees are from all branches of the armed forces, serving in various years of the nearly ten-year-long conflict. These interviewees, representing different ranks, served in different fields of duty. Some of these service duties included reconnaissance operator; jet mechanic; patrol squadron mission commander; Cobra gunship chopper pilot; prisoner interrogator; female nurse; Army Ranger, Special Forces; artillerist; combat Marine turned anti-war activist; General William Westmoreland, who commanded military operations in war from 1964-1968; and a POW, who was incarcerated for 6.5 years.
Subjects discussed include differences in fighting tactics in Vietnam versus Korean and European theaters of war: Nobody fights in those conditions for motherhood and apple pie, and the flag--it's for the person on your left and your right -- the importance of helicopters; the role of politics in military strategy; search and surveillance missions; impact of troop rotations every twelve months; and the impact of limited fighting on future wars. Other topics include to question or not to question American involvement, and, anger toward home front war protestors; feelings of being unappreciated; the question of war being pointless, and, comparing Vietnam to the war in Iraq; the issue of war protests being politically respectable, and the role of TV coverage. Interviewees discuss enemy buildup for siege around Khe Sanh; Tet Offensive and its impact on Washington; issue of whether or not the Vietnamese wanted American troops on their soil; views of General William Westmoreland and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara; politics putting restraints on military strategy; and, the impact of Lyndon Johnson's decision (on soldiers in Vietnam) not to run for president again in 1968. One interviewee remarked: We lost [the war] because we can never win a war politically and it was fought politically.
Other issues include boredom and terror; being shot down, and, the POW experience; dehumanizing the enemy, and, the issue of alleged American arrogance; African American and Hispanic casualties; medical care and soldiers'drug addictions; the lack of psychological training, and, the will to survive combat; undergoing personality transformations in wartime, and, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD); Agent Orange; danger of fighting in rice paddies; and not being able to return enemy fire due to political reasons (as in Cambodia).
The 'Vietnam War Veterans Oral History Collection' is part of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program is an affiliated program of the University of Florida's Department of History. Its collections include approximately 4,000 interviews and more than 85,000 pages of transcribed material, making it the largest oral history archive in the South and one of the major collections in the country. The transcribed interviews are available for use by research scholars, students, journalists, genealogists, and other interested groups. Researchers have used our oral history material for theses, dissertations, articles, and books.
Digitization of the collection has been funded in part by the generous donation of Caleb and Michele Grimes.

That's refreshing to hear. I think we all may often make assumptions. I'd love to hear from other secular homeschoolers.
Okay, that pretty much defined my previous way of thinking about home-schooled kids. Thanks for enlightening me. That was pretty funny and I enjoyed reading comments from people that didn't "get the satire".
I'm very interested in homeschooling as an option if we end up in a district with beliefs we don't like - for instance, our current home is located in a district where spanking classes are a requirement to get a job as a teacher here, and there's absolutely nothing seen wrong with that. I don't like the idea of children feeling threatened by physical harm as a method of motivation for learning, so I would never allow my child into this district.
But, one thing that I don't know how to work around is the logistics of it all. In our current situation, I'd never send my child to a school because I see no option that I like. However, we don't always have the luxury of me not working, and day care essentially stops once children reach kindergarten age. Do homeschooling groups meet routinely enough that I could in theory hold down a part time job? Or do the parents really need to be able to live on one income?
As a retired high school teacher I've seen a number of kids who were home schooled through middle school and then sent to public high school for the last 4 years and I would say their education ranged from horribly unprepared to extremely well prepared. It all depends on the ability of the parents and their commitment – because it requires serious commitment and a better than average intellect to do it right.
If the parent(s) can't meet that criteria then they are doing the children no favor and are in fact putting them at a serious disadvantage.
I was a high school teacher for 30 years but trying to teach my own daughters anything was pissing against the wind – they are in their 40's now and I'm still pissing in the wind..
I'm considering homeschooling my own children because I am a better teacher than many, many of the ones I had in school. I think that kids can be better educated at home, depending on the quality of the teacher and the temperament of the child (just like at "regular" school). Honestly, you probably know some homeschooled people, you just don't realize it because they don't conform to the religious conservative/socially awkward stereotype so many people have.
There's a lot of homeschooling philosophies that don't have anything really to do with religion (or that could have the religion easily taken out). It's been a while since I did any research on it, but Pioneer Woman (don't judge me, haha) has a homeschooling section on her blog and it's not overtly religious. They talk about curriculum and logistics a lot, and not so much about the different philosophies, but it would give you a different perspective.
My experience has been if the parents are freaks, the kids are freaks, homeschooling or no.
Another atheist homeschooling mom here. I have three sons who will be in grades K, 2, and 4 next year. None of them has ever been to public school full time. They do go once/week for art, music, gym, lunch, recess, library, time away from annoying old Mom, etc. We homeschool for academic reasons. I went to the schools here (and I have friends whose kids are in them now) and they do not have the same academic goals I have for my children. (They don't teach grammar beyond a few of the parts of speech, they don't teach poetic and literary tools much (a little alliteration here and there, but not more than that), they don't offer second language until high school.... I could go on.) They're not the worst schools ever, but they don't live up to my expectations.
I have met several homeschooled-through-high-school people in college classes. They seemed as capable as most, and they didn't have weird fits of religious fury when I said the 'f' word or anything like that. I'm sure there are some homeschool messes, but I've seen examples of success (at least as far as I could tell).
I am not middle class. We are broke as hell, but the education of my children is my first priority. I will die young, from something preventable, probably toothless, with not a penny to my name and a wasted M.A. My children shouldn't get the education the public schools are giving out just because we aren't bringing in lots of money. I will take a hit for that, but I'm not passing my problems onto my children. What you can and cannot afford depends, in part, on your priorities.
Although all of the homeschooling moms I know irl are middle class ladies, I "know" several homeschooling moms on the Internet who are on public assistance. (I believe for welfare both parents must be working or in school so they wouldn't qualify for that, but they get some amount of food assistance. Perhaps their children get state medical insurance.) Priorities.
Also, I do work part time. I am lucky enough to have a job with lots of downtime (not a lot of pay, but that's the trade off, right?) so I can research and plan lessons, books, methods, etc. while I'm at work. One of the days I work is the day my children are "in school" for their once/week classes. I also occasionally work from home scoring standardized tests (though I feel like the devil when I'm doing it).
yeah well; they can pray all day at school and pay tuition only in tithe; seems it's double profit from the ceo's that program and corrupt the youth and the denominations they support (tax free land; how nice) see...
people may think it's 'values' prayer etc.. but in the end it's corporate manipulation of the schooling/education system in the USA by foreign 'we know it all's' do the math. people done been reprogramed; they see some pastor/preachers HUGE land and freedoms to do as they please in third world nations and want the same for here; it's a trend that won't last; we have our rights.
further and more twisted more
Jeb Bush is a son of a bitch that messed up the school/scenes etc. in Florida.
Fundamentalist racist fool class warfare types should just move to Pakistan and call us in the morning LOL
sigh sigh
why why
as for the reverse racism and violence on campuses; 1st blame corruption then corporatoins/coca cola in hallways hello.../ economy = stressed parents = stressed divided youth to the chugh ching of privatized bs pushers... basically it's not because of the system (hijacked by sky daddy) per say but...
a more modern day culture influence that is outlawed? hrmmm...
arts, music, community; are those signs of the devil? seems to be in fundy sky daddy land w/corporate sugar on top; while the world turns...

Mississippi Family History Research
This entry was originally written by Kathleen Stanton Hutchison for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
History of Mississippi
The first written record in Mississippi history was made in 1540 when the Spaniard Hernando de Soto and his men crossed its boundaries to discover the Mississippi River. Yet long before these first Europeans came, there were Native Americans who existed in this natural habitat with its gentle climate, fertile soil, and plentiful food environment. Mississippi was home to many tribes; in the early days Mississippi had a larger population of Native Americans than any other state in the Southeast. Some of the major tribes include the Natchez on the lower Mississippi, the Chickasaw in the north and northeast, and the Choctaw in the central and southern part.
Mississippi history may be divided into four distinct jurisdictional periods: French Colonial (1699'1763), British Provincial (1763'79), Spanish Provincial (1779'98), and American Territorial and Statehood (1798-present). The year 1699 saw the French establish the colony of Biloxi, the first permanent settlement in this part of the Lower Mississippi Valley. Later this colony was moved to Mobile, and Natchez was established as the seat of government in 1716. Toward the end of the Seven Years War (or French and Indian War) in 1763, France ceded this province to Britain, beginning the immigration of Protestant, land-loving British, a stark contrast with the remaining Roman-Catholic French. Sixteen years later in 1779, the British yielded control of the Natchez District to the Spanish, who remained until pro-American sentiment prevailed.
When Mississippi Territory was formed in 1798 by the U.S. Congress, the territory included lands north of the 31st parallel and south of Tennessee, lying between the Chattahoochee and Mississippi rivers. During this period there were only two significant regions of settlement: the Natchez District, found in the southern part of the state along the Mississippi River, and the St. Stephens District in the eastern section on the Tombigbee River. At the time, Spain controlled the Gulf Coast and the Choctaw, Creek, and Chickasaw tribes owned more land than did the white settlers, who numbered fewer than 5,000 in 1798.
With the opening of the territory in that year, there was a surge of immigration that sparked a recurring division and formation of county boundaries. The fact that the present state of Alabama was part of Mississippi Territory occasionally causes confusion for the researcher. The present Alabama counties of Washington, Madison, Baldwin, Clarke, Monroe, Mobile, and Montgomery were organized as counties in Mississippi Territory. County names have been duplicated in Mississippi and Alabama of these except for Baldwin and Mobile counties. The coastal area of Mississippi Territory was part of British West Florida (1763'79) and later of Spanish West Florida (1779'1810) until after the War of 1812. Actually, the land encompassing the Mississippi counties of Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson was made a part of Mississippi Territory in 1812, following the West Florida Revolution of 1810.
Ambiguous application of land grant distribution through the Treaty of Paris in 1783 and Pinckney Treaty of 1795, coupled with politics of the era, produced a sometimes-muddled trail of land titles. Early Mississippi history may be characterized as one of white settlers moving onto lands that were previously owned by natives. The acquisition of this land by treaties is more fully explained in Goodspeed's Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Mississippi (see Background Sources for Mississippi for additional references). Some of the problems encountered with these treaties may be better understood by reviewing Clarence Edwin Carter, comp. and ed., Territorial Papers of the United States: The Territory of Mississippi, vol. 6 (Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1938).
The thrust of immigration and settlement pushed the territory toward statehood in 1817. In 1832, through treaties made with the Choctaw and Chickasaw, all land in the present state of Mississippi was opened for settlement. Offering opportunities for a richer life, the divergent cultures from the past came together as one. Cotton became king, and the state of Mississippi flourished at an astonishing pace for decades preceding the Civil War, aided by the labors of many African Americans, both slave and free.
Mississippi voted to secede from the Union on 9 January 1861, putting into motion events that led to Mississippi's involvement in the Civil War. The harsh period of Reconstruction that followed the war left a long-standing bitterness that further strengthened Mississippi's political stand regarding states' rights. The Jim Crow laws, legislation put into effect by the white electorate, guaranteed that the freed slaves would continue in a condition of servitude, poverty, and ignorance. Sharecropping sprang into being for African Americans and whites alike, leading once again to an economic dependence on cotton. Because of its persistence in clinging to an agricultural society, Mississippi was well into the twentieth century before attempting to join an industrialized America. The records created after 1940 reflect the political, economic, and cultural changes that dramatically altered Mississippi life.
