Your school is part of Cognita. Cognita is responsible for how your school looks after your personal information. When we say "we" in this notice, this means your school and Cognita. We are required by law to look after the information we hold about you; this notice tells you how we do this.
Personal information is any information which is about you, from which you can be identified.
Please make sure you read this privacy notice carefully. This notice is a short form version of the full notice we have provided to your parents. If you would like more information, please speak to your teacher, you can also look at the privacy notice for your parents. This is available on our website.
We will share your information with your parents. If you are not British, we may have to provide information about you to UK Visas and Immigration.
We may work with other institutions such as your previous or new school, school nurses or doctors, school photographers, local authorities, social services, police (where there are concerns with your safety), education authorities, SEN co-ordinators, the school's business partners and professional advisors. We might receive or share information about you from them or give information to them. We will only do so as set out in this notice. We may also use CCTV footage to ensure the school is safe and monitor who is visiting the School.
If you have any questions about this notice then please speak to your teacher. We have a Data Protection Co-ordinator, Jill Walker, who can explain in more detail how your information is looked after. Our Data Protection Officer has overall responsibility for your information: firstname.lastname@example.com.
We will use the information you and your parents give us as is necessary to provide you with the information and services that your parents request from us (to look after you, teach you and to deal with any queries they may have). We are also required by law to take a register, keep a personal file about you, keep a record of your behaviour and provide a written report on your progress.
We also use your information to promote the objects and interest of our schools, ensuring the most efficient management of the school and ensuring that the school's legal obligations are adhered to; and use your photograph as part of a manual ID system. These are known as "legitimate interests".
Help from third parties. We rely on software applications and other technology provided by other people to handle your information. These include virtual learning environments (including the setting of tasks and homework), revision tools, parents evening booking systems, text and email messaging communications, assessments of your progress and co-ordination of school trips. The companies we use to deliver these applications are carefully chosen by us to ensure that your information is kept secure.
When we hold details about your health and wellbeing, this information is called "sensitive personal data" which means we treat this information even more carefully. We will need to hold sensitive personal data about you (a) for carrying out our obligations in the field of social security or social protection law, (b) for identifying medical problems or provision of health care or (c) to protect your vital interests. To achieve this, we may also use software applications and other technology.
We will seek your or your parent's permission if we decide to post any photographs of you on any of our marketing materials (including our prospectus or website); you may withdraw your permission should you wish.
You do not have to give us details about your race, religion or ethnicity if you do not want to. If you do, we will use this to help run the school (e.g. if your religion means that you have certain dietary requirements) and to monitor equal opportunities. You can ask us to delete this information at any time.
Sometimes your information will need to be transferred to, and stored outside the UK. We try to limit this, but it may be necessary where, e.g. one of our suppliers stores your information outside Europe. We take all steps reasonably and legally necessary to ensure that your information is safe.
We will not keep any personal information about you for any longer than is necessary. Generally, we keep your pupil record file until you are 25 (even if you have changed school) after which it is destroyed. We follow a personal data retention policy which determines how long we keep specific types of personal information for. For further information, please speak to your teacher.

5.1.9 once your child has left the school, to keep you up to date with key school news and upcoming events; and
5.1.10 to send out surveys to you by email as part of our Voice of the Parent campaign which is our school improvement tool.
5.2 In order to pursue the legitimate interests referred to in paragraphs 5.1.1 and 5.1.3, our schools also rely on software applications and other technology to process personal data about you and your children. These include the school's management information system, virtual learning environments (including the setting of tasks and homework), revision tools, parents evening booking systems, text and email messaging communications, assessments of pupils' progress, our group-wide billing system and co-ordination of school trips. The third parties we use to deliver these applications are carefully chosen and vetted by us to ensure that, among other things, your and your child's personal data is kept secure. For further information on the kind of technology we use, please contact our Data Protection Officer or Data Protection Co-ordinator (see paragraph 4).
5.3 We will also use the information you give to us as is necessary to carry out our obligations arising from the contract (or potential contract) between you and us and to provide you with the information and services that you request from us. For example, we will provide education services to your child and will use personal data where necessary to deliver these services. We will also use your personal information to invoice you for our services pursuant to the contract between you and us. We will also require a certain amount of personal information about you and your child at the pre-contract enquiry and application stage.
5.4 In addition, we are required by law to do the following (which is not an exhaustive list):

For example, we may receive a court order relating to you which impacts on our use of your and your child's information to protect the welfare of the child. 5.8 Also, social services or health practitioners may provide us with information (particularly sensitive personal data) about your child which may need to be added to the school's child protection or special educational needs file. This kind of processing of sensitive personal data may be necessary (a) for the purposes of carrying out our obligations in the field of social security or social protection law, (b) for medical diagnosis or provision of health care and/or (c) to protect the vital interests of your child or another person taking into account the mental and physical capacity of your child.
5.9 In order to achieve the purposes described in paragraph 5.8, our schools may do the following:
5.9.1 keep a list of your child's allergies or medical requirements within the classroom or staffroom in case of emergency. It is necessary for the school to have a list readily available to our staff so that we are able to look after your child promptly in the event of a medical emergency; and
5.9.2 rely on software applications and other technology to process medical information (such as allergies, accidents and injuries) about you and your children.

5.12 We will not market services to you (other than in accordance with paragraph 5.1.8 or 5.1.9 above) without your consent and you have the right to ask us not to use your contact details for marketing.
5.13 We will also seek your permission if we decide to post any photographs of your child on any of our marketing materials (including our prospectus, advertisements or website).

If you do provide us with this information, we only use these details to assist us with the day-to-day running of the school (for example, if your child's religion means that he or she has particular dietary requirements then we will of course be much better informed if we have this information to cater to your child's requirements) and for equal opportunities monitoring purposes.

8.2 As a general rule, we keep your child's education records until they reach 25 years of age at which point we destroy the file. This is regardless of whether their file has been transferred to another school, in the event that your child transfers schools.
8.3 We follow a personal data retention policy which determines how long we keep specific types of personal information for. For further information about the criteria we use to determine what periods we keep specific information, please contact our Data Protection Officer or Data Protection Co-ordinator (see paragraph 4).
9.1 Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.

After a six-year run, a few births (one on camera), and one horrifying vampire facial, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, otherwise known as The Greatest Bad Show Of Our Time, might be coming to an end in the next two years.
According to Inquisitr, execs say that the show, which ushered in reality TV before its current Golden Age, might go off the air when their contract ends in 2015. This is partly because Kardashifans (sorry) have switched over to Duck Dynasty, but also due to Lamar Odom's recent struggle with drugs — and, obviously, the birth of North West.
Only time will tell.

If you are a subscription member there a new extension you can download. The subscription extensions now called Subscription Advantage Packs (SAP) are available on the subscription site. The SAP for AutoCAD Map3D 2010 contains tools to use LIDAR or point clouds data. If anyone ever wanted to use large LIDAR files or point clouds you now can with the SAP. So what can you do with this data? Well depending on the data a lot. First here is how you can start using it.
First on the Display Manager, click on the Tools Icon, select Create Point Cloud Index. The "Index" needs to be created for all new LiDAR (las) files.
When you select to create the point cloud index the Point Cloud Manager palette opens. Here is where you browse to the LiDAR files and add them to a list or you can even group multiple files together.
Once the files are listed in the Point Group Manager highlight the file or group and click on the Generate Index. This creates a file with an ISD extension. You have the option prior to generating the index as to the file location and name by selecting in the output column and browsing to a folder and renaming the file. The default is the same folder and file name as the las file. Generating the index takes a few minutes depending on the file size and number of points in the file. A process indicator is displayed in the the Point Cloud Manager as it is generated. Once the index is created you can click the Add to Map button to add the point cloud to your map. Note you only need to create the index for the las file once, you can use the isd file to load the point cloud in any drawing. Once you created an index of a las file you can reload the point cloud by using the Data icon and selecting Add Point Cloud Date.
Once the point cloud is loaded into the map it is listed as a map layer in the Display Manager.
Once you have a point cloud loaded you can highlight it and the context sensitive tab on the ribbon will display for the point cloud.
The ribbon tab allows you control how the point cloud is display along with a few other tools to work with the point cloud. The Point Display control will allow you to control the number of points (density) displayed. Move the slider to increase/decease the amount of points. The Filter Point Cloud control allows you to filter the point cloud based on the data assigned to the points or by spatial (location on your map). Note: Not all LiDAR files will have data assigned to it. The Style panel of the tab will allow you to set the style of the point cloud based on the classification, elevation, Intensity or RGB assigned to the points. The create panel will allow you to create a surface from the point cloud. You have two formats for the surface file, GeoTiff or ESRI ASC. The Export panel will allow you to export the point cloud to SDF format to be used later in the map or as an ASCII (text) format or even to a LAS format. Exporting it to ASCII will only export the XYZ of the points it will not export any other data and exporting to SDF will create a LARGE SDF file, so beware.
Along with the advantage pack there is some sample files (las) and tutorials on the subscription site that you can also download that provides some assistance on using the new feature.
The AutoCAD Subscription Advantage Pack
There is also an Subscription Advantage Pack for standard AutoCAD as well that can also be ran with Map3D. This advantage pack contains some useful tools for standard AutoCAD objects that for once the Map3D product team has not forgotten about the AutoCAD Map3D users that still use Map3D as AutoCAD or that we still use drawing objects in our maps.
Once installed it adds a new ribbon tab to the ribbon labeled Subscription.
The first panel of the tab allows you to isolate objects and unisolate them. The next panel will allow you to select an object then create another object of the same type. The Select panel has the much needed and wished for Select Similar command. It does have a settings options allow you to filter the selection.
The last panel contains the Draw Order tools for setting the draw order for annotations and hatches. Keep in mind these are the standard AutoCAD objects, they do not work with Map3D annotations or the feature labels and hatches. Oh yes, if you are an old school user and have not embraced the ribbon interface yet, there is a toolbar for these as well, the AutoCAD SAP for the AutoCAD Map3D SAP you need to create your own toolbar or use the ribbon.

First Drop!
Vocal start
Second Drop
South African based record label established in 2010.
The label is aimed at delivering a new breed of Deep House producers who are capable of fusing global sounds together to produce their own unique sound and still maintain the soul and origins of Deep House.
Despite evidence of a link between genius and madness, no one has proved that such a link exists but we still insist on this philosophy. Take a musical "Crazy"(genius) who has the humility,soul and spirituality of a "Monk" and you have the ultimate music making machine. Despite Deep House being a dance music genre we still believe it has soul from its origins and this is what has given birth to Crazy Monk Records.
You can send a link of your demo to firstname.lastname@example.com. We are only looking for Deep/Garage/Soulful House. No EDM, Electro, Trance, Progressive,Afro etc.

"Ratcheting concordists are easy to spot"
Now it is appearing that the term is a 'position' rather than a 'process.' I would think it should be a process, as everyone ratchets their theology whenever accepting new scientific or theological evidence that demands a shift, as it is incompatible with their current view. Sometimes these facts are a watershed event, discontinuous, such as a YEC accepting evolution so then jumping right into TE, bypassing the OEC middle ground.
From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:email@example.com] On Behalf Of Dennis Venema
Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2009 10:27 AM

Cc: email@example.com
Subject: Re: [asa] Ratcheting Concordism in Dennis Venema's talk at ASA meeting
What I intended by the term was to describe someone who is (a) open to scientific evidence, and (b) has scientific concordist expectations of Genesis 1-3. As evidence accumulates against a concordist notion he holds, he will at first resist the science, until the evidence is overwhelming, at which he "gives up" on that notion and ratchets over to the next position.
For example: an OEC contemplating common descent: should they decide to accept CD, there are two choices:
(a) discard their scientific concordist expectations of Genesis and shift to an interpretation of Genesis using ANE science / Divine accommodation
(b) ratchet over to accepting CD, but retain concordist expectations that Adam and Eve are literal individuals who are the genetic ancestors of the entire human race, pending evidence from genomics that suggests otherwise.
Ratcheting concordists are easy to spot - they have theological investments in specific scientific interpretations of Genesis. For example, I met a few ASAers at Baylor who accepted CD, but were struggling to work the population genetics data into their scheme. They were evolutionary monogenists - they accept CD, but feel that God founded the whole human race through a literal pair. Why? "Because it says so in Genesis."
Hopefully that explains my thinking. Just remember IANAT (I am not a theologian). :)

BOSTON-- The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth men's track and field team set two new school standards on day one of the Open New England Championships at Boston University on Friday afternoon.
In the 1000 meter event, sophomore Ryan Hayes (Kingston, Mass.) tripped the timer at 2:29.16, edging the previous school record (2:29.65) set back in 2011 by Eric Nygaard. Hayes produced the fifth fastest time of the day to capture one of the eight qualifying spots in tomorrow's final heat.
The distance relay team comprised of Matt Ferro (Halifax, Mass.), Brandon Jarousky (Attleboro, Mass.), Matthew Hinthorne (Braintree, Mass.) and Zachary Switaj (Tamworth, N.H.) covered the 4,000-meter distance in 9:56.95, surpassing their previously set mark (10:05.72) by nearly ten seconds. Ferro opened the race with a pace of 3:06.9 in the 1200 meter, while Jarousky legged out the next 400-meters in 48.6 seconds. Hinthorne posted a blistering 1:50.8 in the 800-meter section and Switaj completed the final 1,600 meters in 4:10.6. The Corsairs placed third overall in the event.
Senior Krista Chauvin (Seekonk, Mass.) was the only member of the UMass Dartmouth women's track and field team to compete in the Open Championships. Coming into the meet, Chauvin ranked third in the weight throw and she hit her mark with a third place toss of 52-04.25 feet.
The Corsairs will compete in day two of the Open New England Championships tomorrow afternoon at Boston University.

Betel Leaf Recipes
Vietnamese Tofu Stuffed Betel Leaves
Tàu hũ cuốn lá lốt (betel leaf wrapped tofu in Vietnamese) is very similar looking to Greek dolmades. Instead of using grape leaves though, betel leaves serve as the packaging and delivery device for pan-fried tofu and vegetables. Betel leaves have a peppery taste, and when cooked they have the appearance, but not the texture of nori. The tofu mixture is similar to the filling I use for my vegetarian egg rolls.
The traditional way to prepare this dish is with extra lean ground beef (see tips), called thịt bò nướng lá lốt. However, Aunt Elise, who is a vegetarian, is visiting from Vietnam and taught me how to make the meatless version of the dish. Either way, it's an exotic and authentic taste of Vietnam.

Dried Apricot and Carrot Salad on Betel Leaves
Lulu's aunt, Sara, gave Daddy a betel leaf plant a few months ago. It has grown from a small vine into a prolific producer of fragrant leaves. Daddy loves chewing areca nuts wrapped in a betel leaf. It's very popular in India (paan parag) as well as Vietnam (trầu). In much of Southeast Asia, betel leaves are used to make a salad.
For the shredded carrot salad I made today, I decided to use the fresh betel leaves as a serving dish of sorts. To the shredded carrots, I added diced dried apricots and a fresh, thinly shredded kaffir lime leaf. The combination of the ingredients worked very well together. Betel leaves have a peppery taste and the kaffir lime has a nice citrus-y aroma. In keeping with the Asian theme, I made a peanut and tamarind dressing to brighten up the dish and tie all the flavors together.

Sisters, 3 and 8, screamed for their mom while their trailer burned in Thornton
Susan Teer is haunted by the sound of her daughters screaming for her to save them.
"'Mommy, mommy,'" yelled Cherelle Lucille Morehouse, 8, Teer recalled.
But there was no way she could get to Cherelle or Skyann, her 3-year-old younger sister.
The little girls were in their bedroom crying.
The fire melted the metal walls and engulfed the trailer she shared with her daughters and boyfriend Dennis Engen, 55, in space 434 at Redwood Estates, 9595 North Pecos, in Thornton.
Teer suffered six broken ribs while escaping from the other side of the trailer but couldn't get to her girls.
They breathed fire into their lungs and went silent.
It was in the early morning hours of Dec. 16, 1984, nine days from Christmas. Both her daughters died.

Coming on the heels of a difficult 2-0 loss last Friday at Sporting KC, Wednesday night's 3-1 home defeat to Philadelphia was a disappointment.
Whether it was falling to a lowly Union team, snapping the club's nearly two-year home unbeaten run vs. Eastern sides at Toyota Park or just simply losing the game in hand they've had on the rest of the conference for most of the season, there wasn't much to take away from the affair.
Asked Friday if the team felt more pressure ahead of Saturday's six-pointer at New York (LIVE 2:30pm CT on NBC), captain Logan Pause said, "I don't think we do. Of course we don't want to lose games but we've used it as a learning opportunity and getting back to the fundamentals of what this team is about."
Visiting second-place New York following two losses and a tightening of the Eastern Conference playoff race isn't ideal. The Red Bulls star-studded roster has helped the team go 11-1-3 at home and outscore opponents at their self-named arena 34-16 in this season.
Historically the three previous Fire games at Red Bull Arena have been tight affairs but the the Fire have never won there, going 0-2-1 since 2010.
The team will also still be without the services of Pause's midfield partner Pavel Pardo, who Fire head coach Frank Klopas confirmed Friday will miss his fifth straight match due to a hamstring injury suffered September 12 in Toronto.
Pardo's compatriot Guillermo Franco will also serve the first of a two-game suspension following his tackle on Union midfielder Brian Carroll in the 78th minute of Wednesday's game.
Even still, the Fire could clinch a playoff berth this weekend with a victory and either a Houston loss vs. Montreal Saturday night or Columbus loss or draw vs. Sporting KC on Sunday. A draw at New York would also be beneficial to the Fire's postseason chances if one of those results occurs.
Pause, who appeared in his 300th competitive match for the Fire in Wednesday's defeat, feels Saturday's game provides a good opportunity to bounce back.
"One of the joys of having a quick turnaround is being able to apply what he learned from Wednesday. We're looking at tomorrow as a great opportunity for us. Obviously a game at New York won't be easy game but we're looking forward to it."

I was impressed that 64 participants from 22 PSEs turned up for a well-executed workshop on CSR for PSEs organised by Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) on Feb 16, 2012. I was even more impressed that it was not a business-as-usual day for the participants, far from it. There was serious and furious note-taking, coupled with eager questions, and as we took a break for lunch, that did not seem to affect the momentum of their enthusiasm – the questions and the knowledge-seeking just continued, unabated.
To witness PSEs, the hard-core, multi-crore giants who set up public infrastructure facilities, move from being compliance-oriented to being triple bottom-line-oriented in spirit was inspiring! As the GuideStar India session on "Essential Elements of Partner NGO Selection and Measuring the Effectiveness" progressed, there were "Aha!" moments and there were takeaways. In the first segment we talked about why PSEs need to decide their specifications and criteria for selection before calling for applications - a one-size-fits-all approach, inviting applications from one and all, would backfire on the PSEs being overwhelmed with applications. It would also waste the time of NGOs that do not meet basic specs (cause/ location) in creating proposals. Also, PSEs need to explore the NGO data available on platforms (www.guidestarindia.org, www.Propoor.org, www.Karmayog.org), ask around, check with other PSEs, local corporate & Government institutions/other donors for references, etc.
The soul of the presentation was to motivate PSEs to move from check-signing philanthropy to get-your-feet-dirty philanthropy. Equipped with local knowledge (social, cultural and geographical), resources, and hard-to-come-by project management skills, PSEs, by choice, can leverage that advantage to exert a lasting, deep, huge and path-breaking impact on local communities. They can choose to be fantastic enablers of community-owned projects by becoming supportive (as well as result-oriented), strategic and systematic in their engagement with NGOs.
Additionally, one of the untapped dimensions in Donor-NGO partnerships is the financial and other benefits of co-funding with other foundations, grant makers and corporate entities: Co-funding opens up the project to efficient interdisciplinary knowledge transfer, leverages the strengths of existing robust partnerships, increases the depth and the breadth of interventions in a community, and leads to a more holistic, sustainable and high-quality intervention- in the truest sense, multiple donors come together, collaborate and complete each other, rather than compete against each other.
For instance, in a post-disaster scenario, if one donor, limited by funding criteria could only construct houses, s/he could collaborate with another donor who could fund sanitation, and another for kitchen gardens etc. to result in a well-rounded intervention for the beneficiaries, because, an incomplete remedy - house construction without sanitation - can run the risk of spawning more diseases i.e. houses turning into slums due to improper waste management.
Given the multi crore (1 crore = 10 million) annual budgets that PSEs are mandatorily required to spend on CSR, the key concern is of finding NGOs that can effectively implement programmes of scale. I impressed upon the PSE participants to also invest in NGO capacity building programmes and to fund the creation of infrastructure in the voluntary sector to enable effective CSR. This would mean supporting aggregators that address areas such as: mapping the sector, doing accreditations, building NGO capacities in strategy, governance, financial management and programme management.
During the session, we also discussed about PSEs sharing their skills in procurement and project management to co create and co implement projects with NGOs by weaving in employee volunteering opportunities into projects. PSEs can also play a critical role in disaster preparedness and disaster response given the strength of their infrastructure, logistics and reach.
The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), which hosts the National CSR Hub, is the focal point for facilitating NGO Partner Selection and it is creating a pool of Empanelled NGOs. I urge TISS to build on existing data available with various aggregators and intermediaries such as GuideStar India, GiveIndia, Credibility Alliance, Propoor & Karmayog so that they can create a pool of NGOs quickly and it would save NGOs the trouble of resubmitting information that is already available and vetted by other organisations.
In closing, it was a motivating endeavour by the BCCI and the palpable enthusiasm of the PSEs suggest strongly that they are listening and gearing up for NGO partnerships, but the question is, "How many NGOs are ready to take on the road-builders to be partners in building lives?"
Pushpa Aman Singh, CEO GuideStar India was invited by the Bombay Chamber of Commerce & Industry to do a session for CSR managers of Public Sector Enterprises on Feb 16, 2012 in Mumbai.

Genealogy has many possible sources for data, for learning and for sharing. The Internet is only one of those possible sources. See the list of numerous other tools below.
- We don't refer to "library genealogy" or "archives genealogy" or "FHC genealogy," so why would we refer to "Internet genealogy?"
- The Internet is just one of many tools in the genealogical researcher's toolbox. I believe it is the most powerful tool we have because it saves us time and money and helps us spend our research time in a more productive manner.
- A genealogist cannot use just one research tool and hope for reliable or complete results.
- Genealogists are only successful when they combine the use of all of their tools and make the most of all available resources -- online and offline together.
Remember these things:
- The Internet is not your only starting point for genealogical research.
(See: Beginners, Education, How To, How To: Tutorials & Guides)
- The Internet is not the place to end your genealogical research.
(Trust me here...your research will never be finished.)
- You will not find everything you need on the Internet.
- Not everything that you are looking for can be found on the Internet.
- There is not a web site or an online database for everything you need in your research.
- Just because you assume your research materials will be online, doesn't mean they will be online.
- Just because you want your research materials to be available online, doesn't mean they will be online.
- Finding data online does not mean that it is correct, thoroughly researched or well-documented.
(See: Citing Sources, Genealogy Standards & Guidelines)
- The Internet is not the cause of poor genealogical research or undocumented data. False pedigrees, family myths and research errors were a part of genealogy long before the Internet. The difference is that these things are more easily found and duplicated online, so the Internet is the recent target for criticism.
(See: Citing Sources, Genealogy Standards & Guidelines, Myths, Hoaxes & Scams)
- Finding data online does not mean that you are "finished" with your research.
(See: Citing Sources, Primary Sources)
- The Internet is not your only starting point for genealogical research.
The Internet is the latest, most powerful tool in our research toolbox, giving us:
- A learning center (i.e. tutorials, articles, veterans and professionals).
- A meeting place (i.e. mailing lists, newsgroups, chat rooms, message boards).
- A place to publish our research questions, concerns, results and advice.
The tools in our research toolbox include the following (to name a few, and not necessarily in this order):
- You and your family members
- Your personal records and family memorabilia at home
- Libraries
- Archives
- Courthouses
- Museums
- Churches
- Cemeteries and funeral homes
- Newspapers
- Your local LDS Family History Center
- Local and national genealogical and historical societies
- Professional genealogical researchers
- Genealogy books, CDs, microfilm, microfiche and software
- The Internet

I have come to really cringe when I read/hear the term "Internet genealogy" simply because I know that it does not really exist. The term is often used in a context that makes "Internet genealogy" appear to be something apart and separate from what some people must think of as "that other kind of genealogy" - (remember the kind using original records on microfilm or in books?). We can use the Internet for genealogical research, but in the end our passion is a unified one, defined by a single word: genealogy. Therefore, the discussion should really be about how we "use the Internet for genealogy."

Bake the Book: Mad Hungry Cravings
How many times, in the last week, have you eaten out instead of making a meal from scratch? This being Serious Eats, the sample might be skewed, but the advent of services for city-dwellers like GrubHub and Seamless and the thousands of fast-casual restaurants in between has made it easy to buy meals instead of make them.
This is Lucinda Scala Quinn's battlefield. As the mother of three boys, and author of several cookbooks, she has seen firsthand her family's preference for fast food over home cooking. Her ace in the hole? Making the same variety of flavorful foods, but at home, and with far more nutritious ingredients.
Introducing Mad Hungry Cravings, a book that's as much a food guide as it is a collection of recipes. In her matter-of-fact way, Lucinda explains the state of food today and provides solutions to overcoming fast-food reliance, from stocking the pantry to making a killer Boston Cream Pie. She has used her kitchen savvy to bring families back together over the dinner table, while building the home cook's confidence with pantry guides, pep talks and recipes inspired by every corner of the globe.
From breakfast (Date Walnut Muffins) to dessert (Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies), Mad Hungry cravings is the rare book that maintains its enthusiasm from start to finish, with the savory recipes packing as much oomph as the sweet.
Win A Copy!
Thanks to the generous folks over at Artisan, we are giving away five (5) copies of Mad Hungry Cravings this week.
All you have to do is tell us what food you crave in the comments section below.

Sask. premier directly appeals to Obama for approval of Keystone XL pipeline
Published Thursday, January 17, 2013 1:41PM EST

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall and 10 U.S. governors have sent a letter to U.S. President Barack Obama, urging him to approve the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which they say could carry up to "4 million barrels a day by 2020, twice what is currently imported from the Persian Gulf."
The letter was sent Thursday on letterhead from Wall's office. Featured alongside his signature were endorsements from the governors of Arizona, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming.
"The energy relationship between the United States and Canada is vital to the future of both our countries. It is an interest we share, transcending political lines and geographic boundaries," the letter states.

The proposed $7-billion pipeline -- which the letter argues is "fundamentally important to the future economic prosperity of both the United States and Canada" -- would carry oil from Alberta's oilsands to Steel City, Nebraska, and then on to refineries on the Gulf Coast.
Last year Obama reserved his decision on the controversial pipeline until after the election.
But as his second-term inauguration Friday draws nearer, advocates for the project appear to have run out of patience and are beginning to ramp up pressure.
The project, which has faced considerable opposition, is being proposed by TransCanada. On its website, the company says it intends to re-apply for the presidential permit needed to cross the border, and expects Obama to approve the application in the first quarter of 2013.
Speaking to CTV's Power Play on Thursday, Wall said he is spearheading this latest push because "it goes to the broader issue of trade between our countries and the branding of Canadian exports, specifically the branding of Canadian oil."
He added that should the pipeline be approved, one in seven barrels of oil in it "is actually American oil" from the Bekken formation, a rock unit that runs under parts of Montana, North Dakota, and Saskatchewan.
The letter outlines three key arguments for the pipeline's approval.
First, it states that the Keystone project would provide "crucial" energy security to the U.S., noting Canada's oil reserves are the third-largest in the world, behind only Venezuela and Saudi Arabia.
The letter also touts the residual economic benefits of the project, saying it is expected to create thousands of manufacturing and construction jobs, along with tax revenue and business activity in communities along the route.
Finally, the letter urges Obama to approve the project for reasons of efficiency and reliability, saying Wall and the governors are "committed to responsible stewardship of our shared environment."
"Pipelines remain the most efficient method of transporting large volumes of crude oil, but we also recognize the need to take the measures necessary to protect the environment and public health and safety."
According to Nathan Lemphers, senior policy analyst for environmental think-tank Pembina Institute, new findings indicate that any additional pipeline capacity developed in western Canada will increase oilsands production, causing an increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
"And it's not small," Lemphers said. "Filling the Keystone XL pipeline with oilsands will create the equivalent emissions of putting 4.6 million cars on the road.
"So at a time when we're aiming to meet our climate targets that are set out under the Copenhagen Accord, Keystone XL will take us in the wrong direction."
The proposed pipeline became a major issue during the U.S. election campaign, but Obama managed to sidestep it by putting any presidential decision on hold while a plan was worked out to keep the pipeline from running through Nebraska's sensitive Sandhills region.
Under pressure from opponents and even the governor of Nebraska, TransCanada revised the route, after earlier saying that wasn't an option, resetting the environmental review process.
Wall said he is "optimistic" that Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman will eventually be more supportive of the pipeline.
Meanwhile, the company split the project into two, and began construction on a southern leg of the pipeline between Oklahoma and Texas while awaiting approvals on the northern section -- a sign of apparent confidence that the project's eventual approval is a fait accompli.

How many servings do you get out of one muffin? The obvious answer – one – is incorrect. The right amount is two. Why? Because that is how food manufacturers calculate calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, fiber, sugars, protein and other ingredients. It's not the individual item or container that counts but how it is divided up, often in the most arbitrary ways.
The so-called nutrition facts labels you find on the back of all packaged food and beverage products are not only hard to decipher, they mislead consumers who are already confused about their dietary needs.
It has been 20 years since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has last addressed the issue of food labeling. To overhaul the current regulations, the agency commissioned a new study to determine how labels could be simplified to help consumers make healthier food choices and limit portions. Confusion over serving sizes is considered a contributing cause to obesity.
For the study, researchers developed alternative displays of nutritional details based on whole food and beverage containers instead of serving sizes.
"The nutrition facts label is only one tool that can help consumers make informed food choices […], but it is a valuable tool, so it is important to continue exploring ways to support effective use of the label for these purposes," said Dr. Serena C. Lo, one of the study leaders, in an interview with BusinessNewsDaily.
The researchers also found that the percentage of consumers who actually read food labels before purchasing products they are unfamiliar with has risen from 44 percent in 2002 to 54 percent in 2008.
One of the reasons why dividing entire package contents into smaller serving sizes is so important to the food industry is that the apportionment is a useful tool for making products sound healthier than they are. For example, if one serving has only a miniscule amount of a certain ingredient, e.g. trans fat, it can be labeled as 0 percent, while the whole package may contain significantly more.
It is not clear whether giving people information per content or per serving would make much of a difference in their eating behavior. Would they stop gorging themselves on potato chips half way through the bag if they knew the amounts of calories and fat up front instead of having to do math themselves? Doubtful.
But that's not really the point. What the issue of food labeling comes down to is the right of us consumers to know what we eat. Just like we should have full disclosure about genetically modified foods, pink slime or meat glue, we should have access to information on our entire food supply. Anything short of that is deception.
The U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention, a nonprofit organization that sets standards for identity and quality of medicines and food ingredients worldwide, defines the "deliberate substitution, addition, tampering or misrepresentation of food, food ingredients or food packaging, or false or misleading statements made about a product for economic gain" as "food fraud." Where are we willing to draw the line?

To the editor:
If you want to see a more conservative North Carolina that upholds the rule of law and doesn't legislate from the bench or engage in judicial activism, vote to re-elect Judge Paul Newby for the North Carolina Supreme Court.
I have personally met Justice Newby, and I was impressed with his candor. I found him to be pragmatic and open and with a sound grasp of the severity of the issues facing our state and nation.

Hi all! I'd really love to hear what tips you all have to share about applique -- of any kind. For instance, I'm awful at interior points (like the "cleavage" of a heart) and I'm hoping to see someone's pet trick for that. But meanwhile, here are some of mine -- even if they seem obvious, they weren't to me when I started!
Do not clip outside curves for needle-turn applique. Not clipping avoids both points and fraying.
When clipping inside curves, don't clip until you absolutely have to, when your next stitch requires it. This cuts down on fraying, too.
And just like in life, when you come to a curve, concentrate only on your next stitch. The stitches an inch away will get their turn!

A tab control is a way to present related information on separate pages. Tabs are used for dynamic window surface to increase the surface, to manage multiple documents within a single window, or as view of exclusive options.
Tabs have several advantages: The user can easily access available options or see which forms have been opened. Because foreground tabs are visually differentiated from background tabs the user knows what item is currently in progress. The disadvantage is when dealing with many tabs at once. When a window is tabbed to a certain number that exceeds the available area of the monitor, the tabs clutter up.

One hundred and forty thousand folks attended the ceremonies dedicating the National World War II Memorial on the Mall in Washington this afternoon: "World War II veterans honored at memorial dedication."
President Bush spoke at the dedication, with decorated World War II veteran President Bush (41) and President Clinton also in attendance. Below is a photo of the three presidents.
In his dedication speech, President Bush paid tribute not only to the men who fought the war, but also to their Commander-in-Chief:
[A]ll these vast movements of men and armor were directed by one man who could not walk on his own strength. President Roosevelt brought his own advantages to the job. His resolve was stronger than the will of any dictator. His belief in democracy was absolute. He possessed a daring that kept the enemy guessing. He spoke to Americans with an optimism that lightened their task. And one of the saddest days of the war came just as it was ending, when the casualty notice in the morning paper began with the name, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Commander-in-Chief.
Across the years, we still know his voice. And from his words, we know that he understood the character of the American people. Dictators and their generals had dismissed Americans as no match for a master race. FDR answered them. In one of his radio addresses, he said, "We have been described as a nation of weaklings, playboys. Let them tell that to General McArthur and his men. Let them tell that to the boys in the flying fortresses. Let them tell that to the Marines."
In all, more than 16 million Americans would put on the uniform of the soldier, the sailor, the airman, the Marine, the Coast Guardsman or the Merchant Marine. They came from city streets and prairie towns, from public high schools and West Point. They were a modest bunch, and still are. The ranks were filled with men like Army Private Joe Sakato. In heavy fighting in France, he saw a good friend killed, and charged up a hill determined to shoot the ones who did it. Private Sakato ran straight into enemy fire, killing 12, wounding two, capturing four, and inspiring his whole unit to take the hill and destroy the enemy. (Applause.) Looking back on it 55 years later, Joe Sakato said, "I'm not a hero. Nowadays they call what I did 'road rage.'" (Laughter.)…
This man's conduct that day gained him the Medal of Honor, one of 464 awarded for actions in World War II. Americans in uniform served bravely, fought fiercely and kept their honor — even under the worst of conditions. Yet they were not warriors by nature. All they wanted was to finish the job and make it home. One soldier in the 58th Armor Field Artillery was known to have the best-kept rifle in the unit. He told his buddies he had plans for that weapon after the war. He said, "I want to take it home, cover it in salt, hang it on a wall in my living room so I can watch it rust."
These were the modest sons of a peaceful country, and millions of us are very proud to call them Dad. They gave the best years of their lives to the greatest mission their country ever accepted. (Applause.) They faced the most extreme danger, which took some and spared others, for reasons only known to God. And wherever they advanced or touched ground, they are remembered for their goodness and their decency. A Polish man recalls being marched through the German countryside in the last weeks of the war, when American forces suddenly appeared. He said, "Our two guards ran away. And this soldier with little blonde hair jumps off his tank. 'You're free,' he shouts at us. We started hugging each other, crying and screaming, 'God sent angels down to pick us up out of this hell place.'"…
On this Memorial Day weekend, the graves will be visited, and decorated with flowers and flags. Men whose step has slowed are thinking of boys they knew when they were boys together. And women who watched the train leave, and the years pass, can still see the handsome face of their young sweetheart. America will not forget them, either.
At this place, at this Memorial, we acknowledge a debt of long-standing to an entire generation of Americans: those who died; those who fought and worked and grieved and went on. They saved our country, and thereby saved the liberty of mankind. And now I ask every man and woman who saw and lived World War II — every member of that generation — to please rise as you are able, and receive the thanks of our great nation.

The first step is a nutritious diet, which decreases consumption of foods made with added fat and sugar. The National Cancer Institute reports that only one per cent of U.S. children consume a well-balanced diet and only about a third meet the government's food-pyramid targets for fruits, vegetables, grains, meat and dairy. Most surveys over-estimate vegetable intake because they classify french fries and potato chips as vegetables, accounting for about a fourth of alleged vegetable consumption among children. Previous studies from the U.S., Britain and Australia have shown that the eating of fish and tomatoes and the intake of minerals like magnesium and selenium are inversely related to the risk of developing asthma.
Detailed guidelines for feeding children in every age group, along with recipes, are supplied in my first book, Superimmunity for Kids. Recommendations for nutritional supplementation are listed below.
The second step is provision of a hygienic home environment. The three most important areas to control are smoke, dust and humidity. Children exposed to cigarette smoke at home have a higher frequency of asthma, respiratory infection and otitis. House dust can contains surprisingly high levels of lead and toxic waste, tracked in and concentrated from roadside soil, accumulating for years despite routine vacuum cleaning, sometimes exceeding concentrations found at superfund sites. House dust is especially hazardous to toddlers crawling on carpets, because carpet pile is a repository for dust. Excess moisture in the home (a relative humidity of fifty-five per cent or more) encourages the growth of dust mites and of mold. Mites secrete an enzyme which damages the lining of the respiratory tract; children with a high mite exposure are at increased risk for developing asthma. Children who live in homes with visible mildew or moisture are at increased risk for developing repiratory illness and for missing days from school. I describe nine simple steps for parents to take to ensure an environmentally safe home in previous issues of this column.
The third area is regularity of rest and exercise. Exercise of moderate intensity, such as brisk walking or cycling, thirty minutes a day, improves immune function and mood and prevents migraine headache. Most older children, high school students especially, are sleep-de-prived. Sleep deprivation or interrruption reduces natural killer cell activity. Parents should help their children plan schedules that permit eight to ten hours of sleep a night. Daytime relaxation also has important health benefits. A period of quiet, focused relaxation each day relieves anxiety, improves nighttime sleep, and stimulates immune function of stressed individuals.
Nutritional supplements and herbs can make a substantial contribution to childhood health. Omega-three essential fatty acids, found in fish oils and flax oil, are essential for normal immune regulation and brain function. The past century has witnessed a dramatic decline in omega-three consumption, due to changes in food processing, food choices and animal husbandry practices. Cod liver oil, which can be a rich source of omega-three's, has long been used as a food supplement for children. A recent double-blind placebo-controlled study found that capsules of flax oil, two grams per day, decreased frequency, severity and duration of illness and days missed from school among children suffering from recurrent respiratory infection. I frequently recommend flax oil as a preventive supplement for children and adolescents at a dose to two to six grams per day.

Well, somebody saw something. There's a clue box on the left, and the Fountain of Wealth on the right (didn't TARA already go there?). It was uploaded today, but I've forgotten how to check the exif at Flickr to confirm the dates. TARA2 should still be in the interview process, anyway.
I'm not sure what it is. I've checked TARA1 video and the Suntec sequence for them was at night (also, the cluebox--kmz attached--was in a different location). Could it be US TAR? US racers like to wear matching outfits. Fwiw, here's the blog entry (same photos).
Zab's away for a month. She finished producing for "Project Runway Malaysia" 2 weeks ago. She had very few hours of sleep each night and I would see her every second day for a few minutes before she'd head off to sleep. Now she's been gone for a week flying around the world working for " The Amazing Race Asia" as a Producer. I get an email from her every few days to say that she is safe and even more tired than she was when doing Project Runway. 3 more weeks to go and it's going to feel a lot longer than that.
Amazing Race Asia 2 - Manila Leg
kaninang hapon naabutan ko ang isa sa mga tasks (2nd leg) ng ARA2...
I saw a task of ARA2 this afternoon along Rizal Avenue, at the Carreido LRT Station. The tasks: find the shoe amongst 100 pairs that has no matching opposite, and assemble a bicycle.Marc Nelson, who is the only person who went to the Philippines, says he only saw three matching pairs of shoes. He is the first team.Good luck to Team Philippines. I hope you win this time!
No one I personally know from Malaysia made the cut (and I know a looot of people who did.. ). And after the TAR ASS spoiling stint, I'm pretty sure they're being EXTRA careful about filming it here. Don't think they'll be stopping by here in Malaysia, but we'll continue on the look out. Good job everyone!
7 days ago, Michael McKay says: To all of the fans of TARA who missed out on selection, I'm sorry you didn't make it this time around. As I've said before, it is as much about the mix so you should consider trying again for season three. Right now we are all working very hard on the Race and I can assure you TARA2, when it screens later in the year, will be well worth the wait. It really will be an amazing series and I'm certain the fans will love it. The Amazing Race (USA) will also be back for a 12th season so there's plenty of racing coming up on AXN. Enjoy!
Ramona Balboa Re: Re: Amazing Race Asia 2 Spoilers-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I'm shocked to say that I apparently have a spoiler and about a show I don't follow at all--Asian AR....A person who used to work in my office just e-mailed me from Budapest where she's visiting relatives. She used to endure the weekly discussions of the Amazing Race with a smile that indicated we were totally demented. So, from the e-mail dated today, July 22:Quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The other day we were at Heroes Square and there were people dressed in graduate garb under each hero statue. Two girls with backpacks were running around trying to pronounce the names of the heroes correctly and the graduates were judging whether they pronounced the names correctly. There was also a camera following the girls around. I was asked by one of the girls how to pronounce a name (Mátyás) and was later asked to sign a waiver in case I got on TV. It turned out to be some sort of Asian Amazing Race. I thought of you guys
Two different blogs--one dated the 13th (here) and one dated the 14th (here)--about teams and crews transiting Rotorua. No mention of which particular TAR, but I'll assume it's TARA.

I'm American--and yes, the "u" spelling is generally British or Old English. Like Shakespeare
and on topic.....The Aethersprite was the Jedi Starfighter, correct. No, wait. Turn that around. The Jedi Starfighter was an Aethersprite? And the Skysprite was the 2-seater. Like on Outbound Flight. Not a bad looking ship. But not my favorite. Favourite. Favorito. No habla espanol.

I've never read any of the EU material that it's mentioned in, but I found a pic of it in my 'Essential Guild to Vehicles and Vessls and have to say I love the K-wing. Big, strait wings, lots of guns and ordanance, tough; reminds me of the Thunderbolt II
Haha. Well, I gotta say I admire the rear of the Corellian Corvette!
So many turbines or so, looks too flashy!
I cannot really decide which my fav is, after all! I gotta run through my books...
For luxury is would have to be the Sorobub Personal Luxury Yacht 3000
If I were to be a bounty hunter then this is what I would use for it. The very funky VT-49 Decimator
i like the ARC-170 because its an old school X-wing.....and i played Starwars BattleFront 2 to much
My favorite would be ANYTHING MANDALORIAN!!! Especially the Basilisk War Driod used in KOTOR II!!! But that ship the Decimator looks REALLY good to, Devil Girl!!! You HAVE to love an 'Evil Versian of the Millennium Falcon' !! XD
The Millenium Falcon has an evil version?! Wow!!! You learn something new every day.
For me I like the sleek and stylish Nubian ships. If its good enough for a queen and senator, it might just be good enough for me.
The Millenium Falcon has an evil version?! Wow!!! You learn something new every day.
Wow........that sounds like my kind of ship. Looks pretty good to
my favourite:Millenium Falcon...
I like it.
yeah, you have to love the Faclon. I personally like the Ebon Hawk better, but it's pretty obvious that it's based on the "fasted hunk of junk in the galaxy"
