This is our One Day that we promote for our end of the year missions offering. This is the day that we support three Big Mission Efforts.
1. Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions
We along with 40,000 other Southern Baptist Churches give to this offering to help support our almost 4,000 missionaries all over the globe. This offering goes directly to support our missionaries. You are supporting their salaries, giving them security training for dangerous areas, and survival training for those who serve in jungle areas. Also you help provide the technology to spread the Gospel to areas that are unreached.
» $45 for one MP3 Bible device for a new believer in East Asia
» $50 for a solar audio player for unreached peoples in South Asia
» $350 for 100 SD cards in sub-Saharan Africa
2. Dr. Karla Escalante, Physician Missionary in Nicaragua
We along with Henderson Hills Baptist Church support Dr. Karla in Nicaragua. She is one of the greatest assets of reaching people with the Gospel that the country has experienced in a while. Many people receive free or reduced price fees for her care, and everyone whether they can pay or not she will pray with, and if they are willing she will share the Gospel.
Hundreds have come to know Jesus through her ministry, and while she is a great Doctor, she is also a wonderful missionary to her own people.
$564 a month pays for Dr. Karla to treat patients 3 days a week at the clinic in Somotillo. That is $47 a day she is paid to see patients, and many of them never pay her a dime, simply because they can't afford it.
3. Local Missions
Concord's local missions will help families who are in need, support the Salvation Army and Operation Love in Action.

Title: STANDING STRONG
Author: Donna Fleisher
Publisher: Zondervan
November 2007
Genre: Inspirational/women's fiction
Chris McIntyre loves her new home on Kimberley Street in Portland, Oregon. Now that they've reclaimed the streets from the gang that roamed this neighborhood, it is a peaceful place to live, to work, to play…
Until Chris is outside working in the yard behind the community center and is caught in the middle of two rival gangs. One of which is one of the most dangerous gangs in Portland. Chris isn't sure whether the one gang member did something to anger the Eastsiders, or if the Eastsiders were looking to expand their territory. Either way, Chris is not going to let her neighborhood go without a fight.
The Eastsiders get increasingly violent, threatening everything and everyone Chris holds dear. Chris somehow manages to be in the middle of every conflict. Can God protect the ones Chris loves even in a world where a child kills with no mercy?
STANDING STRONG is the fourth book in the Homeland Heroes series. I had the privilege of reading the first book in the series, but didn't read books two or three. Even so, I had no trouble reading STANDING STRONG and I really don't think I missed anything vital. The story easily stands alone.
Chris is a realistic heroine, strong in the face of danger, and really admirable. The faith message is strong, but not preachy, and the setting in an important part in the story. Out of the two books in this series I've read, Wounded Healer and STANDING STRONG, STANDING STRONG is definitely my favorite. There is action, outstanding characterization, and wonderful story-telling here. Even if you haven't read the other books in this series, you can't miss STANDING STRONG. $14.99. 315 pages.

In this page we make available the MOA implementations (source code included) for Social Adaptive Ensemble 2 (SAE2), Scale-free Network Classifier (SFNClassifier) and the Social Network Clusterer Stream (SNCStream).
In order to use these algorithms, please download both moa.jar and sizeofag.jar from {M}assive {O}nline {A}nalysis Framework.
Social Adaptive Ensemble 2 (SAE2) is a dynamic ensemble classifier for data stream classification that is built on the Social Adaptive Ensemble (SAE). Similarly to its predecessor, SAE2 maintains an ensemble of classifiers arranged as a network in which connections are created between two classifiers if they have similar predictions. In comparison with SAE, SAE2 includes a more scalable adaptation method, achieved by updating classifier's connections weights before they are added to the ensemble; an alternative combination method based on maximal cliques; a voting strategy based on weighted majority, which diminishes prediction ties; and some other minor enhancements, such as a threshold to limit the maximum ensemble size. Its parameters are:
Other parameters related to debugging and visualization.
The Social Network Clusterer Stream (SNCStream) is a one-step social network-based data stream clustering algorithm capable of finding non-hyper-spherical clusters. SNCStream uses a scale-free-like homophily procedure to track the evolution of clusters during data streams. SNCStream achieves high clustering quality rates (in terms of Clustering Mapping Measure - CMM) while maintaining suitable CPU Time and RAM Hours. Additionally, SNCStream is not bounded to a user-given amount of ground-truth clusters to be found.

5 Tips For Gorilla + Chimpanzee trekking
Apes (including gorillas, orang-utans, gibbons, and chimpanzees) are amazing creatures. They're extremely dexterous, intelligent, and cute.
Apart from gorillas, who are cute in a terrifying way.
Did you know that chimpanzees are so closely related to the human species that after calculating our genetic differences to apes, scientists found an average difference of only 1.2%?
A whopping 98% of our DNA is identical to that of a chimpanzee!
When I went to Uganda earlier this year, my mind was blown after doing a wild chimpanzee trek in Kibale National Forest, a wildlife conservation park. It's one of the most incredible things I've done. Being around animals, wild animals particularly, makes you reconsider the way we live. You can read my full review about chimpanzee trekking in Uganda by clicking here!
Being the brilliant, helpful person that I am, I've put together a few practical tips for chimpanzee trekking that I hope will help you go forth and frolic with these wild, beautiful creatures.
Let's begin!
1. Wear Good Shoes + Cover Up
Most importantly: wear supportive shoes. By supportive shoes, I mean sneakers, hiking boots, or anything that is sturdy and securely attached to your foot. No flip flops or sandals.
You will be walking around for at least two or three hours in wild forest. Repeat: forest. That means the floor will be uneven and occasionally dangerous, littered with roots and leaves and fallen branches. You don't want to get any nasty infected cuts on your bare skin, either so wear long sleeves.
There will be all kinds of insects on the floor, and potential animal poop lurking around. Having your feet covered will prevent bug bites, injury, and having poop between your toes.
For your wellbeing (or if your back gets dodgy sometimes like mine) you'll need supportive shoes to keep your body from aching after walking for so long. Sometimes you'll be trekking for a while to find any chimpanzees, so it's always better to be prepared with supportive shoes.
When the chimps start moving you'll have to keep up with them, and if a wild angry elephant explodes out of the forest, you'll have to run like the wind to avoid becoming a pile of mush from under its elephant foot. In both instances you want to be able to freely run around without worrying about sharp bits of branch stabbing your bare toes.
2. Bring Snacks and Water (for yourself, NOT for the chimps!)
As mentioned, you'll be trekking around a forest for hours, and will likely get very very hot, and/or sweat a lot. Water is your best friend. Bring at least 1 litre of water, and if possible, another electrolyte replacer such as Gatorade or juice.
You need to replenish all the water your body has lost and keep yourself feeling refreshed. Remember to constantly sip water and not only start drinking when you feel like you're on the verge of passing out from dehydration!
Ditto goes for eating snacks. Anything to keep up your energy will work well, whether a granola bar, a handful of nuts/seeds/trail mix, a chocolate bar, a banana, and so on. Check out my guide on 6 fantastic energy-giving snacks if you need help with choosing what to munch on!
On a related note: DO NOT FEED THE CHIMPS!
Please, for the love of apes, do NOT bring any snacks for the chimpanzees. Don't even bring an extra banana to be cute. Feeding the wild chimps may seem harmless, but it can have serious consequences for both the animals and us humans.
It's very important that you hide all of your food and drink inside your backpack, away from the animals. Why? Because they're wild. They may be habituated, but they're still wild.
Human food was not made for animal consumption. Our food can spread disease to wild animals and harm them in many ways. Getting too close to the animals is also risky because they might be carry diseases such as rabies. Also, if you start feeding chimps human food, they'll develop a taste for it, in which case they'll either stop being able to survive in the forest, or potentially start attacking humans for food. Wild animals are unpredictable.
Scary stuff, mate. Let's not risk the extra banana.
3. Be Patient, Keep Calm + Listen to your Guide
Sometimes people can get lucky and stumble across a bunch of chimpanzees five minutes into their trek. Other times, it might take up to an hour or more to come across even one chimp.
The success of a trek depends on the weather, the perceptiveness of your guide, and sheer luck. Patience is a virtue, and just seeing that first glimpse of a chimpanzee up close and personal makes everything worth it.
On a related note -- keep calm. Most of the trek guides are extremely smart, informed, and assertive. They understand chimpanzee behaviour and it is imperative that you follow your guide's instructions. If they say stay away, you stay the hell away! Also, the guide will be equipped with a rifle or some other form of gun. Don't be scared by this - it is for everyone's safety, the animals included. Guides can let off a warning shot to scare away rogue wild animals like elephants if they get too lairy.
4. Charge your Camera + Make Space on your Memory Card
This one is self explanatory. Chimpanzee trekking is a life-changing event. If you don't want to bring a camera, that's fine -- but if you do, you want to be ready to take the best photograph ever when a chimpanzee starts grinning at you.
How terrible would it be if a chimpanzee starts doing the salsa right in front of you and your camera suddenly dies, or if you forever lose the vision of a baby chimp smiling at you because there's no more memory on your SD card?
Tragic. So charge up and bring a free memory card if possible. Also, if a photographer or using an SLR, you'll definitely want to bring a zoom lens - at least 300mm! - to catch baby monkeys chilling high up in the tree branches in epic detail.
5. Finally... Enjoy Yourself!
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity - and it doesn't come that cheaply, either! Put aside everything else in your life and take a moment to focus and connect with the animals.
If you're a phone addict, take a few pictures and then choose to be in the moment. If you're feeling hot, bothered, and hungry, ignore it for the next hour. Chimpanzees are glorious creatures, and you should bask in the chance of being around them in their natural habitat. How many other people do you know who are lucky enough to go on a chimpanzee trek?!
Remember: we're only a 1.2% genetic difference away from apes. You will see more of yourself in a chimpanzee than you'd ever have thought possible. I promise.
Happy Trekking!

Take a walk around any part of el DF and you'll notice something interesting: people in Mexico City are not shy in practicing public displays of affection.
It's weird to post these pictures because they are kind of voyeuristic, and yet this says a lot about Mexicans in the capital, their passions and intense relationships.
Besos, abrazos, semi make out sessions and other forms of PDA's are evident all over town, and would make anybody back in the US blush a little, yet here they are casual and normal.
I saw a couple kiss each other goodbye at the metro station and almost wanted to tell them "Oh get a room!" or the otherwise appropriate "No coman pan en frente de los pobres".

Aloe & Lavender Soothing Balm
Aloe & Lavender Soothing Balm
This is my favorite product and the one I am most proud of. It's original purpose was to sooth sun kissed cheeks and shoulders with aloe, lavender, and helichrysum. Many are familiar with aloe's use for helping burns and cooling the skin. Lavender has a long history as an amazing essential oil. The scent is calming and it's been long used to help heal burns as well. Helichrysum is gaining recent news for its ability to help the body heal bruises and wounds. Obviously, any serious burn or wound needs medical attention, but this balm is great for sun kissed skin, bug bites, and minor scratches. It's also quite calming and wonderful applied to cheeks or chest at bedtime.
I am also now infusing this balm with the added healing vibrations of Amethyst. The .5 oz tubes have small amethyst chips in the base. Amethyst is a wonderfully calming and healing crystal.
This balm comes in a 0.5 oz oval twist up tube or a BIG 2 oz tube. The smaller size is awesome for tossing in your bag, purse, or pocket. The big one will last a long while.

The need to create successful, dense urban environments has never been greater: 54 percent of the world's population – some 3.9 billion people – lives in urbanized areas, and the number of people living in cities around the world will increase by one billion by 2030.
Solving this challenge presented by an increasingly crowded planet requires effective management of rapid urbanization to create livable, prosperous cities. Density is an important tool in this respect, but comes in different forms than we have seen in the past. This presents two key questions: what is successful density? And how do we make it work?
To further explore these issues, ULI Europe is embarking on an initiative to explore density to learn from the past and extract best practices from existing examples. Learn more and access density-related resources at http://on.uli.org/1NlGloy

A World Without Net Neutrality
Until yesterday were the good times when ISPsand telcos were mandated to treat all web traffic equally. They were not allowed to discriminate between users based on the type of content they want to access. If a user wanted to read the Wall Street Journal, and another user wanted to stream the latest TV show on Netflix, both would get the same speeds.
The FCC voting which has repealed Net Neutrality has already begun to change the dynamics of the internet as we know it. Now, the ISPs and telcos will be able to mint extra money by charging users based on their exclusive preferences.
Telcos, such as Verizon, Comcast, and At&T, believe that if a user wants to read the news only, and that too from a website that is owned by the respective telcos, he should be able to do it without any additional charges. But if it wants to access, let's say, a streaming website to watch his favorite show in HD, he should be over-charged or routed to a data tunnel that provides slow speeds.

What is the official Stance of Comcast on Net Neutrality
A few days ago, Comcast's website contained more clauses for protecting Net Neutrality. Here is what it looked like.
Here's what @comcast removed from their Net Neutrality page. They no longer promise to:
-Not throttle back the speed at which content comes to you
-Not prioritize Internet traffic or create paid fast lanes
-Make internet accessible to low income familieshttps://t.co/tRoOTyATYk pic.twitter.com/LqhnwwYSGv
— Jon Henshaw (@henshaw) December 14, 2017
Today, it has struck off a few clauses. In the future, there may be no clauses at all for protecting Net Neutrality. The worst part is that it is already too late to raise our voices as Net Neutrality has been repealed.
Even though, when Comcast's website had all five clauses for protecting Net Neutrality, it was actively campaigning along with many other telcos along with FCC to abolish Net Neutrality. Just a few days agi, news surfaced about their alleged partnership for abolishing net neutrality.
FCC has changed its stance on Net Neutrality, a bit too dramatically over the last week. Initially, it was debating if Net Neutrality should stay or go. However, it is now pulling of bizarre stunts to show users that internet would still be great without Net Neutrality.
Why is Comcast against Net Neutrality?
Like other ISPs and telecom providers, such as Verizon and AT&T, Comcast wants the Congress to vote in the favor of repealing Net Neutrality. There is a very high chance that the Congress will vote in favor of telecoms and ISPs. This is partly because of FCC's active campaigning against Net Neutrality, and in part because of the alleged $101 million received as donation by all of the 535 congress members.
Understanding why Comcast is throttling the internet is simple enough. Once the Net Neutrality rules are abolished, the internet would become something like the current-day cable TV network, which can decide what the customers can watch and for how much.
FCC Chainman, Ajit Pai's proposal to the Congress demands that the Congress change the dynamics of the modern internet as we know it. This free and open service which benefits millions of people every day will be converted into a government regulated utility, such as gas and electricity.
Moreover, with Net Neutrality gone, ISPs and telcos will be able to make more money from their customers. For instance, a user who wants to read the news only can do so with the normal subscription fee. But if the same user wants to enjoy high-speed streaming, as well as social media sites, he may end up paying as much as $30 extra!
Now That Net Neutrality Is Gone, What Will Change?
The cyberspace will change drastically. Prices that users are required to pay will most probably soar, and it will put the government and ISPs in a position to conduct mass surveillance at a much grand scale as compared to their current methods. To understand more, check out this amazing video by Tech Insider.
In simple, the download speeds would drop. The amount of content that users would be allowed to access will become much more limited. On the contrary, users would see more of sponsored content and very little of relevant or preferred content. This means that up to 50% of online content that a user will have access to will include ads, popups, spam emails and messages.
What Are People Saying About It?
Currently, there is a huge outcry against the repealed of Net Neutrality at every other website, public forum and social media platform. The end users are furious and are raising their voices in every possible way, in a bid to get themselves heard.
Break the Internet to stop the FCC.
Comcast, Verizon and AT&T want to end net neutrality so they can control what we see & do online. They want to gut FCC rules, and then pass bad legislation that allows extra fees, throttling & censorship. https://t.co/g5Qu6BgYp5 pic.twitter.com/G2MrABGiuw
— uTrick iTrack (@uTrickiTrack) December 12, 2017
Unfortunately, the number of people who are aware of the net neutrality issue is far less as compared to the online users that are still in the dark. This means that if not everyone raises their voices, Net Neutrality may soon become history.
Founding fathers of the internet demand Congress stop FCC from repealing net neutrality https://t.co/xJXaIfwpHh pic.twitter.com/dOcU38LNth
— The Hill (@thehill) December 12, 2017
Users from around the world are using Twitter and Facebook to spread awareness among their social circles about the importance of Net Neutrality and how everyone should play an active role in retaining it. Even the big companies like Netflix and tech giants like Steve Wozniak and Mark Zuckerberg have raised their voices.

What Can You Do to Keep the Internet Free and Open?
There are countless movements taking place online, as well as on the streets which you can join to raise your voice.

...So it's been the usual week with interest added!! We didn't have too much excitement Monday or Tuesday. Wednesday night was Sojourners at Cornerstone (the church small group that we're attending). The discussion was on spiritual discipline and was pretty interesting. It got our wheels turning! Thursday Brian had practice for another project at Cornerstone. So, Beth was home stitchin' away on a few little gifts.
I thought the neices would enjoy some new backpacks. Friday was a quiet night at home after Brian did a few computer repair jobs after work! Today we went up to Fort Meyers to visit Guitar Center and find Brian a new guitar. WELL...they didn't have it and we didn't really enjoy the way we were treated. SO...we came home...found it on the 'net ...and it will be here Thursday. Can't wait to see this new baby! In the meantime, Brian requested a new guitar strap. Yet another project for Beth to enjoy! Tomorrow is church...maybe two times. Brian has to play for the praise team at Wesley(his parent's church) and then we may run up to Cornerstone for OUR church. I'm sure it will be another eventful day!
**I put up a new photo album of my new sewing projects! Check it out! I already have more to photograph, but just haven't done it yet.

WALLINGFORD – Outdoor yoga offers the opportunity to get outside the studio and connect to nature while practicing stress reducing techniques.
Here are five things to know about yoga at Muddy Roots Farm in Wallingford from farm owner Kirsten Marra and Rise Yoga owner and instructor Kelsey Sperl.
The main health benefit of outdoor yoga is decreasing stress. Sperl said the environment is a way to disconnect from modern distractions and routines.
"I think just getting back and closer to nature allows you to get closer to yourself; we're so far removed from that in most of our days," she said.
"It's really hard to stress out when you're in nature."
Muddy Roots Farm, off Northford Road, has been operating for three years on family land.
Marra said the crop operation is less than a half acre. The farm has chickens, turkeys, horses and pigs.
The primary mission of the farm is to feed the community and give them "honest, transparent food."
The farm has been collaborating with Rise Yoga to help bring the community closer to nature.
Sperl said doing yoga outside to connect to nature.
Connecting to the body is also significant and can be done easier away from technology and artificial light.
Fresh air and natural outdoor sounds help participants keep their focus and unwind from daily stress.
Rise Yoga previously held a yoga event at Muddy Roots Farm in April.
The class, which lasts about an hour, is set out in the field away from the road and other distractions.
Participants can bring yoga mats or simply practice right on the grass.
Sperl said the experience can be enhanced by doing yoga barefoot.
"Feeling the Earth beneath you really allows you to feel grounded," she said.
The next outdoor Rise Yoga class will be at Muddy Roots Farm on Friday, Sept. 21, starting at 6 p.m., and ending at 7 p.m., just after sunset. Participants should arrive at least 15 minutes early. It will be a rise and flow class.

Miss Ya, Already
It is 1920 Saturday evening. Just got off the phone with Eden (yet another person knows how "non-techie" I am). But, she has me up and running and I can blog my little heart out. First, Jeff and Jane need to leave town more often. Katherine had a great game today...she only told me to shush once...I do like to do some cheering. She made 5 baskets. This is to document how much her parents will owe her when they get home. Score was 30 to 18. I am such a proud substitue mommy! Left the airport this morning with burning eyes, bulging heart, and great anticipation for all the YMAD group. Ya'll are so ready! The hard work and committment through the year is paying off. I miss ya'll already and won't tell you how many long hot showers have happened at my home, the long nap I so desperately needed, or how many times the toilet has been flushed today. I will let ya'll just dream about this great luxury. Just so ya know...I thought about ya'll every time. I love all ya'll so very much...you are the best...may you all be blessed in your endeavors!...I miss ya, already! Miss Lynda Faye

Thank you to the readers who have commented on Fateful Decisions
Review extracts from amazon.co.uk and amazon.com as at November 24 2013 -
I saw this book recommended in an internet forum (Jill Havern Forum) which is focussed on the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.... I read it in 24 Hours (it made a 4 hour train journey pass in a flash) – I couldn't put it down as the complex plot and narrative was enthralling. It kept me guessing right to the end and I must say I was surprised by it.
I found this a really engaging book..I was quickly caught up in the mystery in the plot and the main character's attempts to solve it. An entertaining read
Molly becomes fascinated by two cases of missing young children who have just disappeared into thin air...her amateur sleuthing leads her to connect with others online to make sense of the evidence..I loved the way the author showed Molly engaging online with the internet forum discussing theories. It also had a real feeling of authenticity as the author showed knowledge of real missing children cases. absolutely brilliant read.
A great read and very topical . Crammed full of action and subplots, difficult to put this book down.
Highly topical and brilliantly crafted. This is a superb debut novel.
The book raises important issues – how we treat children... The book combines fact and fiction as Molly lists actual cases of missing and neglected children...I didn't see the ending coming and I think there needs to be a sequel. Very interesting multi layered book.
Great read, an amazing stimulation of the mind, a total page turner, interesting plot, surprising finish. Highly recommend
Interesting subject matter with kidnappings and parental neglect which is very topicsal at the moment. The plot has so many layers I wasn't able to put the book down. A great read.
I was attracted to the subject of the book – people on internet forums talking about two missing baby cases – as that is something I do myself. It's an interesting and topical story.

Russell names Russell acting EMA director
The Russell County Commission has appointed Assistant Russell County Homeland Security and Emergency Management Director Kathy Russell as acting director with the resignation of Director Chance Corbett.
The county commission accepted Corbett's resignation Tuesday during the commission meeting, expressing regret at his departure but support for his new position as associate director of Emergency Management at Auburn University. Corbett's last day is Nov. 9.
"I just want to say Mr. Corbett, you've been a great asset to Russell County and I thank you for an outstanding contribution to the county," said Commission Chairman J.D. Upshaw. "The shoes are going to be hard to fill."
Russell will get the first shot. The timetable for finding a replacement for Corbett is open-ended, with the acting director receiving her current salary for the first 60 days.
"I have been working with Chance for four years and I know the direction the department is heading in," she said. "I know the goals we've always set for ourselves and standards and I have every intention of continuing those standards."

A New York weekly newspaper printed before and after photos of presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama. The newspaper, Smithtown Messenger, is catching fire for using a shot from the 1970s sitcom "Sanford and Son," with Redd Foxx as Fred Sanford and LaWanda Page as Sanford's sister-in-law, Aunt Esther. The publisher called the photo political satire, but added he would run a retraction for those who were offended.
Well, if it were satire, then why not use shots from sitcoms for ALL the presidents and first ladies? Why just the Obamas? Are the folks at this weekly trying to make a statement on how they view blacks and the Obamas? Le sigh…
When will "news" publications learn that they should stick to reporting the news and leave tasteless, offensive photos to the tabloids?

Mark Suster wrote a funny post about the "Conference Ho" CEO - the guy that is flying all over the place to attend conferences.
Suffice to say, I'm not that guy. I had never attended a proper "conference" as a non-student until this past Spring when Adam and I participated in the Social Media Workshop Room at ChannelAdvisor's Catalyst conference.
At this stage of the game, my time is better spent doing the dirty work - leading, communicating, dialing for dollars, thinking through product decisions, etc. Thus - and taking into consideration our size and our marketing/travel budget - Argyle's conference strategy is pretty focused. We only attend conferences/events in which:
- We know at least one of our customers/prospects will be there.
- We don't lose more than one day in the office.
- We can attend for free.
- We can get on the stage.
If we can't get on the stage - and we typically push pretty hard to get on the stage - we'll attend if we can get in for free.
Here's a list of the conferences Argyle has attended and will be attending in the near future.

MELISSA BLOCK, host: The Obama administration won two legal victories today in the ongoing battle over the federal health care law. The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals first ruled that Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli could not sue the federal government to block the 2010 law. It also threw out a second case challenging the law's requirement that all people have health insurance by 2014. NPR's Julie Rovner has this report.
JULIE ROVNER: Cuccinelli helped spearhead a Virginia state law exempting its citizens from the new federal requirement that they either have health insurance in 2014 or pay a penalty. Then, he turned around and used that law to sue the federal government, calling the federal insurance mandate unconstitutional. A lower court judge agreed with Cuccinelli last December, but today, the appeals court disagreed strongly.
IAN MILLHISER: They smacked him, and they smacked him hard.
ROVNER: Ian Millhiser is a constitutional lawyer with the Center for American Progress and a supporter of the health law. He says the court ruled that Virginia lacked legal standing to sue because state law can't trump federal law.
MILLHISER: And they were very direct and at times very brutal in their language saying that, no, Mr. Cuccinelli, you cannot get into court this way.
ROVNER: Cuccinelli issued a statement vowing to appeal the ruling. Meanwhile, the three-judge panel also dismissed a second case, this one brought by Liberty University, the Lynchburg, Virginia institution originally founded by Jerry Falwell. But this time, the judges split. They ruled that the penalty for not having health insurance is a tax, and, says Millhiser, if that penalty is in fact a tax, there's a federal law that bars the filing of lawsuits at least for now.
MILLHISER: You are not allowed to sue the government to prevent it from collecting a tax from you, but you are allowed to sue after you pay the tax in order to get the money back.
ROVNER: That, said two of the three judges, means they couldn't even rule on the merits of the lawsuit. A third judge disagreed. He said he would have upheld the law's constitutionality if he could have. All three judges on the panel were appointed by Democratic presidents.
But while the dismissal of the Virginia state case wasn't a complete surprise, their finding that the penalty was the tax was. That's because the Obama administration made that claim in all of the dozens of cases it argued and not very successfully. That amused people like Randy Barnett. He's a law professor at Georgetown University.
RANDY BARNETT: I mean, I have to tell you that law professors love the tax argument. So I was getting a good deal of mileage and having a good deal of fun tweaking them with the fact that they may love it but no federal judge has ever agreed with them. Well, I can't say that anymore.
ROVNER: Barnett is one of the attorneys arguing that the law is unconstitutional. He thinks it's clearer than ever that the case needs to be heard by the Supreme Court, and heard soon.
BARNETT: We have three different courts of appeals issuing three different rulings on three different bases, one of which held that the statute was unconstitutional, one of which held that it was constitutional and one of which held that the federal courts lacks jurisdiction to figure out whether it's constitutional or not. If that doesn't cry out for Supreme Court resolution, I don't know what does.
ROVNER: And while these two cases from Virginia have both been dismissed, making it unlikely that they'll be the ones used to determine the constitutionality of the health law, Ian Millhiser says they could still play an important role at the high court.
MILLHISER: The conservative justices on the Supreme Court tend to be very sympathetic to argument that the court's power is narrow, that there should be limited jurisdiction in all cases. And for that reason, I think that this opinion saying that there's no jurisdiction here could wind up influencing one or more of the conservatives on the bench.
ROVNER: And he says if only one conservative justice thinks the court lacks jurisdiction to decide the constitutionality of the law, that could end up preserving it. Meanwhile, one more case challenging the health law is set to be heard by an appeals court in Washington, D.C., this fall. Julie Rovner, NPR News, Washington.

THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE 363 NORMAL LITTLE RAT AND STUNTED RAT Two little rats of the same age, one normal, the other stunted by its mother's milk, which was of poor quality because of faulty diet. From the experimental cages of Dr. Mc Collum. The other product is known as potato starch flour, and is made by first grind ing the potatoes, pumping the pulp on a screen, which takes out the coarse fiber and skin, and then dropping this pulp into vats, where, by means of running water, all of the remaining fiber and much of the protein and mineral salts are washed out, leaving only the pure starch. This is the starch which prior to the war was used by the cloth manufacturers for the sizing of their fabrics. Now, when wheat flour is scarce, it has come into use for the making of high-class pastries. It has not, of course, the nutri tive value of the natural potato flour. That the stabilizing of the potato crop is of the utmost importance has been recognized in Germany for many years. But in the United States the price the farmer receives varies very greatly, ac cording as there is a surplus or a scarcity. When the potato harvest is a large one, he is apt to lose money on his crop, and, being discouraged, next year he puts in something else. If there is a shortage in that year potatoes bring exorbitant prices, and he sees big money in them, and the following year he puts in a big acreage, as do thousands of others, and perhaps the year is a good one for potatoes and the yields are 25 per cent higher, and

Thanks to Judy Kucia & Mary Riccardi for their willingness to become Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist. They will be commissioned at the 8am Mass this weekend. We appreciate all of our liturgical ministers…lector's, EM's, altar servers, ushers, cantors, choir members, Mass coordinators and musicians. Everyone (including each member of the assembly) have a role to play in our worship of God. Let us praise him well!
Allicea Bolanos will be baptized Sunday after the Noon Mass. We welcome her and pledge our prayerful support and example to her parents along with her godparents.
As you probably heard, Pope Francis recently released an Encyclical (a pastoral letter) called (in Latin) "Laudato Si" which means "Praise be to you, my Lord," quoting from a canticle written by St. Francis of Assisi, known for his love of creation. In this letter, the Holy Father urges all people in the world to work toward taking better care of the gift of this earth that God has given us to live on, for we are experiencing some of the devastating effects of our neglect & abuse. It's a very long document & I'm sure many are not able to read it in its entirety. So in the next few months, I will print small snippets of it here in the bulletin as it contains much wisdom & a call for action on the part of us all. Of course if you'd like to read more of it, you can find it on online at the Vatican website as well as in many other places. We must all do our part in being good stewards of the gift of this earth to us.
In an effort to stress the connection between our parish and our school, we are revising our logo which contains the iconic sloped roof of our church, and the blue & gold colors that have been part of our school for many years. You will see this logo used on all of our communication tools, for example, on the parish bulletin, the website & the letterhead used by the parish and the school. Sister Erin, our new Principal, will also be working very hard to highlight the school as an important part of our parish identity. If you attended our school and haven't yet joined our new Alumni Association, please do so as we celebrate the influence of those years on the lives of former students. Sister Erin will be introducing herself to the parish next month and we are amazed at her energy and focus as she prepares to lead the school into the future. I'm anxious for you all to meet her and to welcome her. You will soon see the fruits of her hard work and her gifts.

How ISIS Broke My Questionnaire
I walk into Starbucks in Achrafieh, Beirut and feel all eyes on me. I tug at my top self-consciously, probably making things worse, and wonder a) do I look like an easy Westerner; b) do I look like a ragamuffin (in comparison to the groomed Lebanese); c) are my shoes weird for this country (I think so); or d) have I got something on my face? This feeling says as much about my state of mind as it does about anyone's judgement, and I know from past fieldwork that the self-consciousness lessens over time. But it's early days, so even my order is whispered and has to be repeated, shrivelling inside.
Then I find an empty seat too quickly, so that I don't notice I'm actually boxed in and can't easily approach anyone at all. This is all going fairly disastrously. Coffee will surely help, I think; but after drinking it I can't say I feel any better. The girl over the way is stuck into her Kindle and won't make eye contact. There's a man making rather too much eye contact and I don't want to speak to him. There are two old men, deep in a discussion I don't want to interrupt. There is a haughty and very sexy woman I feel shabby even looking at, tapping at her diamante iPhone with long red clicky nails.
The longer I sit there the worse it gets, as I've been looking around for far too long and then not doing anything. Do I move onto the next cafe? That's admitting defeat and I know it won't be any easier anywhere else. One last look around and I spy a lovely pretty face, sitting by herself, looking out of the window. I go over and she smiles up. "I'm sorry to interrupt, do you speak English?" I say, in English, pathetically. She nods. "Are you Lebanese?" Another nod. "I'm doing some research…"
What happens when the material, the subject matter, is itself responsive to the conditions of investigation?
My first questionnaire: 119 to go—if I am to get the requisite numbers for statistical analysis, according to psychology colleagues. I myself am there for the anthropological research experience, but the same fieldtrip is being used for


text: The Enterprise Architecture Analysis Tool, EAAT, is a software tool developed by the department of Industrial Information- and Control systems, ICS, at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. EAAT is a modeling tool that combines Enterprise Architecture (EA) modeling with probabilistic relational modeling. Therefore EAAT makes it possible to design, describe and analyze the organizational structure, business processes, information systems and infrastructure within an enterprise. During this study EAAT has been validated in order to assess the usability of the tool and to provide suggestion of improvement. To reach conclusions EA models of IT systems out in the industry has been created in EAAT. A usability study has been performed in order to find weaknesses and strength in the tools user interface. The results of the study consist of a couple of scenarios of how the tool might be used by the industry. An important feature to improve is the possibility to easily find the weak parts of the system. The user interface should provide more feedback to the user. The modeling process could be improved by providing the user with suggestions on what to do next in order to reach a full and complete model.

The Glam Factor: A Touch of Bling Makes Kitchens and Baths Shine
A classic little black dress; trendy killer heels.
A neutral palette for eyeshadow; a bold red lip.
A charcoal pinstripe suit; a pocket square in punched-up hues.
It's the unexpected details that often – dare we say always – make a timeless look shine. A little black dress without a glam factor such as the aforementioned "killer heels" or a statement necklace tends to look matronly rather than chic. And a gray suit worn with a somber tie says "banker." But opt for a hot-pink Hermès tie and the look has just enough added edge to be statement-making rather than yawn-inducing.
What holds true in fashion also applies to kitchens and baths. An all-white kitchen without a bit of bling can look flat. A bathroom that relies too heavily on neutral shades risks being a snooze. But when you introduce a touch of glam, such as an exquisite chandelier, eye-catching backsplash, or high-gloss surfaces what may have looked plain suddenly feels polished.
Finding that perfect glam factor is something at which our designers absolutely shine. Even with our clients who are watching their budget, inserting a bit of eye candy to a space is easily done. As Roomscapes' Design Manager Julie Lyons said in an earlier blog post, our designers will take the 'expensive jeans/white t-shirt approach' to adding something sensational to a kitchen or bath.
Let There Be Light
One way of making a space shine, both literally and figuratively, is with light fixtures. Sure, they work to illuminate a room, but go with something daring that makes a distinctive design statement, and you've added an instant dose of lux.
With the exception of the soft sage green on the island, this kitchen is primarily white. A show-stopping oversized lantern-style fixture with strong geometric lines in polished nickel becomes an instant focal point.
In this kitchen, a project in which we collaborated with Interior Designer Barbara Behr Sheehan, a pair of glass chandeliers in a lavender hue is arranged over the island done in a custom periwinkle blue – the client's favorite color – finish. It's is so unexpected and so perfect!
With today's hectic lifestyle, creating a spa-like haven in the master bath is at the top of many of our clients' wish lists, and nothing says "spaaaahh" like a soaking tub. Add a chandelier overhead and the space instantly feels more indulgent.
Mirror, Mirror on the…Cabinet?
Mirrors work beautifully when it comes to making spaces feel larger. And because they reflect light, mirrors also make a room feel brighter. Amp up the glam factor by adding inset mirrors to cabinetry and you have a trifecta of design perfection.
In the bathroom on the left, what looks like a freestanding hutch is actually built in. Our designer incorporated mirrors into the upper doors, which give the piece an opulent vintage look. The mirrors also reflect the golf course just outside.
In the dressing room on the right, where we collaborated with Maven Interior Designs, the mirrored dressing table is flanked by cabinetry towers with decorative mercury mirror inserts. Old Hollywood glam!
Inset mirrors also work beautifully in kitchens and dining rooms, as do cabinets with glass doors.
The mirrored doors with decorative woodwork on this built-in hutch, which adds storage and helps visually define the dining area in an open-floor-plan home, catch the light from the windows on the far side of the room. The mirrors, combined with a slightly exaggerated cabinet pull, elevate the overall look of the custom built-in and set the tone for a vibrant and entertaining space.
Simple glass inserts, such as those our designer used in the built-in hutch at the far of this kitchen, can also add a subtle sense of luxury. The smooth surface of the glass reflects light and has a subtle sheen, and the glass doors work to break up the look of wall-to-wall cabinets.
A Little Tile Style
There are so many different materials and finishes available for tile these days; nearly limitless, really – as is the potential for creating something dazzling.
When you consider the elements of a stand-alone shower – glass, tile, metal – it comes as no surprise that they are bursting with sparkling design potential!
Beautiful, aren't they? Each features a blend of tile for a touch of contrast, and luxurious fixtures such as rain shower heads.
With a combination of matte black and warm wood, this kitchen is a true departure from white on white. The granite countertops have a slight sheen and add a sense of movement to the space. Take a closer look at the tile backsplash. Elongated subway tiles in textured glass in an ecru color are such an unique take on an old favorite. Over the stove is a penny-round silver mosaic tile that Judy Whalen, our design director, used as an accent. Too cool!
Little Things add Major Bling
And finally, never underestimate the influence little things can have when it comes to infusing a kitchen or bath with a bit of glitz. Cabinet and drawer pulls can have an amazing impact on any space!
Whatever your design style or preferred palette, our designers will work side-by-side with you to transform your space. If you're looking for design inspo, a visit to our design center is certain to get your creativity flowing!

When it comes to boating, you possess a lot of countless options based on how you take pleasure in the fluids. For some people, ownership simply isn't an treatment. While having your own boat could well be nice, it is sometimes too expensive and excessive maintenance to be bothered and. If that is the case, you could have two wireless connections for escaping . on the open water: boat share and boat charters. Most people choose charters without being aware of what their other option is they it may happen and readily available. However, hiring a vessel may not necessarily be the best choice.
For individuals who enjoy boating frequently, boat share is often a much better option. Also known as fractional aircraft ownership, this involving boat purchase allows in order to have all the perks of owning a vessel your expenses or hassles. You may enjoy boating whenever you'd like, spend less than you would on charters or ownership, and never need to worry about maintenance various other issues placed on boat wardrobe. You will share ownership web-sites and alternate using the boat anytime. When you are done with your boating excursion, merely offer walk off and let the boat share company sustain the maintenance and docking.
The example I gave above was for me as a new man without family commitments, an undemanding job, and few domestic responsibilities. Does not fit standard profile as someone owning a speed boat. They would typically be of an age where they had children, possibly their own home based business or demanding career some others. etc. In these circumstances it becomes even more difficult to allocate the time/resources to maintaining and a new boat. It may quite common for the opportunities get a it to become only a few times in a season. In the current circumstances can it really option to own your boat and get out unused for 80% of year or better?
Carrying and transportation restrictions: It is unlawful to carry it in public in Ak. It cannot be adopted to Sergey Petrossov enhances the G650 options in any area of the United States, and you'll find it cannot be packed on the cargo jet. Within the 48 continental states, it may only be transported by ground. Most states do not allow people carry it into state or federal government architecture. If it is used in the workplace, a MSDS must be accessible to all employees.
It encompasses a "PlaneView" cockpit, consisting of four years old Honeywall DU-1310 EFIS screens, and a cursor-control setup. It also has an enhanced vision system, and also an infrared camera that displays an picture of the front view on a head up display. The enhanced vision system helps the jet to land in lower-visibility instrument meteorological conditions.
A private gulfstream G650 charter will make certain you arrive on time for those important business conference calls and that you will never be delayed due to airport congestion or other unforeseen reasons, saving you time and offering a stress-free technique fly that is virtually hassle-free.
Safety and camouflage: In Wisconsin it is illegal for that container staying camouflaged, and in addition it must be fitted with safety features that prevent accidental discharge.
The interbank three-month Libor rose to 3.06%. Overnight rate went down slightly from a number of.03% to 5.03%. If banks don't trust fellow banks, how can a small guy trust them? So more confidence building measures are required to bring great investor backwards. And that will surely need a the 0 bln already spent over the taxpayers' capital.

This is an astonishing article from a British newspaper:
Now a confirmed atheist, I've become convinced of the enormous contribution that Christian evangelism makes in Africa: sharply distinct from the work of secular NGOs, government projects and international aid efforts. These alone will not do. Education and training alone will not do. In Africa Christianity changes people's hearts. It brings a spiritual transformation. The rebirth is real. The change is good.
… We had friends who were missionaries, and as a child I stayed often with them; I also stayed, alone with my little brother, in a traditional rural African village. In the city we had working for us Africans who had converted and were strong believers. The Christians were always different. Far from having cowed or confined its converts, their faith appeared to have liberated and relaxed them. There was a liveliness, a curiosity, an engagement with the world – a directness in their dealings with others – that seemed to be missing in traditional African life. They stood tall. …
It would suit me to believe that their honesty, diligence and optimism in their work was unconnected with personal faith. Their work was secular, but surely affected by what they were. What they were was, in turn, influenced by a conception of man's place in the Universe that Christianity had taught."

Filming some Scenes without editing
Budget $250-750 USD
I need someone to film this scene in a home which is not so different from the europian homes and people looks orientals.
1. A man washing his face in the bathroom and then in the background in her bed there is his wife looking at him friendly and thankful and she has a mask or air on her nose, she is a little bit sick.
2. Now the man is helping her in the bed because she is ill, he brings her something like soup or something helthy healthy and medicine and he sits by the side of the ill woman. The woman does not smile,
she is neutral.
3. The woman stands up and wants to take something that is heavy,
there are water bottles and it is heavy and she tries to take them, but the man stops and helps her.
and he helps her with the kids in the house.
4. Then she looks bad on him and she gets angry, and he looks at her and speaks normally and kind.
5. then he says something good about her something encouraging, and more and more on her face, you see a smiling.
6. Then the man looks out of the window and he is alone, he sees another beautiful woman,
or he just stares out of the window. and he is fighting with himself to not think about it.
1. A woman in a park is sitting and looking up to the sky and thinking about her life meaning. her head is covered
2. She is picking out a bible of her bag and reading Matthew 11,28 in her mother language Farsi(I can help you to get one)
3. she is crying, a little bit when she reads it
4. Nearby is a fountain or a see, and the focus is switching to the see and she is looking into the water
or she goes to a bridge and looking to the water.
5. She takes the bag off her shoulder, and she smiles a little bit, is it now a little bit easier.
6. now she is reading again in the bible in the words of Jesus.
C) Tricks of the devil (3 actors)
1. A woman going through the park, her hair is covered. A man on the street is trying to give her a bible in her language,
and she is friendly hesitating, but then she is taking the bible and says thank you on her language. He tries to talk to her but she is busy and goes away from him. you see her going on the street away
2. She is going on the street and then she sits down a park bench and she is taking out the bible and wondering about what is in the bible a little bit. She is now reading in the bible. It is a bible in her language (farsi?).
3. the woman is opening the bible and reading John 4. She ist think about what she is reading, looking, or dreaming about what she has read.
after a few seconds, she is looking back on the bible and reading.
4. The woman is still reading in the bible and a friend is coming and seeing her,
he is happy to see her but when he sees it is the bible she is reading the friend looks irritated
and she is trying to defend herself, and they are arguing
5. The friend goes on talking angry and the woman stops talking and is looking
sad. The woman starts to cry on the park bench and she is taking her hands in front of her face.
The man is just righteous looking down at her. He begins to look proud and he is praying aloud.
In the background you see her crying, and then the focus changes from him to her and back,
to the friend praying to raise up his hands a little bit.

Knee replacement surgery is one of the most commonly performed operations these days. Though most of the people know a lot about the procedure, myths about the procedure still prevail often forcing people to postpone their surgery and continue to suffer severe pain.
Following are some of the popular myths and facts about knee replacement surgery:
Myth: Arthritis is just an aging process. You have to learn to live with it.
Fact: Osteoarthritis is a disease of the knee joint which affects over millions of people worldwide. It is a chronic condition characterized by the breakdown of joint cartilage which causes rubbing of bones against each other leading to joint pain, stiffness, and loss of movement.
Every year more than 500,000 total knee replacements are performed in America and double the number of individuals are good candidates for the procedure.
Myth: You cannot sit on the floor after knee replacement.
Fact: It depends on the type of surgery and the patient's condition. If such activities are to be performed you must discuss with your surgeon prior to undergoing the surgery.
Myth: You should follow conservative treatment as long as possible even if it means bearing a lot of pain
Fact: You need not suffer knee pain until it becomes intolerable. The newly evolved quadriceps-sparing knee replacement helps in faster recovery and is advised to people even at an early age if they have severe pain which is not getting relieved with other conservative treatments.
Myth: Knee Replacements don't last longer
Fact: Most knee replacements last as long as 20 years or more if properly taken care of. Moreover, the quality of life you achieve after a knee replacement is priceless.
Myth: You can consider knee replacement only after 60
Fact: Not necessarily. If you are living with knee pain that is prohibiting you from carrying out daily activities and you still consider undergoing knee replacement only after 60, is not right thinking. The life of a knee replacement can last as long as 25 years or a lifetime. So you need not wait to turn 60 for a knee replacement.
Myth: Both knees should not be replaced at the same time
Fact: Both knees can be replaced at the same time if the patient's health condition s good. In fact, many doctors prefer to do both the knee replacements simultaneously if they feel that patient can tolerate the procedure well. It not only saves money, but recovery is one, rehabilitation is done at the same time, the patient gets back to work and thus saves a lot of financial burden on the patient which would happen otherwise.
Myth: A knee replacement surgery leaves a large noticeable scar
Fact: With the minimally invasive procedure, there is minimal scarring after knee replacement. The typical scar is of 3 – 5 inches long which gradually fades away becoming less noticeable.
Myth: It takes months to recover after knee joint replacement
Fact: With modern techniques and technology available, recovery is quite fast. You would be advised to start taking few steps next day of the surgery itself. Most people return to routine activities within a few weeks.
Myth: Rehab after knee replacement is hard and you cannot expect full range of motion after knee replacement
Fact: Contrarily, rehab after quad-sparing surgery is relatively easy and less painful as quads tendon is intact. The new knee is also relatively stronger than the condition of the knee when the patient was healthy.
Myth: Post knee replacement you will have to give up sports activities
Fact: Initially begun at a slower pace, it may take you up to 4-6 weeks to carry out activities like walking, hiking, and biking. This is done to see how much does a knee can tolerate. Also, it depends upon the condition of the knee joint as and when to begin the sports activities. You should consult your doctor at the time of surgery about your resuming sports activities.
Knee Replacement in India
Knee replacement in India is a great proposition for people living in countries where either the knee replacement is very expensive and they can't afford it; or in the countries where infrastructure and technology are not advanced enough.
There are various advantages of undergoing the surgery in India:
1. The cost of knee replacement in India is much affordable as compared to Western countries. While a single knee replacement in India costs as low as US$ 4900, in Uthe United States it can cost anywhere between US$ 20,000 to $25,000.
2. The best orthopedic hospitals in India are well equipped with the latest technology and most of them are accredited with international certifications.
3. Not only Indian surgeons are well qualified, they are trained at best medical schools in the world and are more experienced to perform the procedure than their Western counterparts.
4. English is widely spoken in India, so language is never a problem.

A recent study has suggested that HRT may increase the risk of mild to moderate lupus 'flares'. HRT should only be used for short periods and should be avoided in patients with a risk of blood clots, and especially if they have antiphospholipid (sticky blood) antibodies. Some patients find alternative treatments useful but there have been no clinical trials in this area.
As you suffer from migraines it may be advisable to be tested for "sticky blood", as migraines are a major feature of this condition. The blood tests required are the Lupus Anticoagulant and the Anticardiolipin antibody.

CSS grid doesn't work on IE 11
Won't fix Issue #14325016
Steps to reproduce
see: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/issues/13962174/
I created a new ticket since I was afraid you woudn't read a "fixed" ticket.
Is there ANY possible way you guys would also update grid to work in IE 11 without the prefixes and to use the current Grid spec. Currently you have to had the row and column index to every element. Going forward with Grid for other browser, this is not a requirement. This is a deal killer for dynamic content and also a pain to use.
Everytime I view a page like this: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/status/cssgridlayout/?q=grid … it infuriates me to no end that as a developer we still can't do things like use grid in our websites b/c your not also updating IE 11 to use it.
Kill IE 11 for all care… but if your going to keep it alive, then help us out here.

"We are not accepting feedback on Internet Explorer through this portal any longer (unless security related)."
Why are you listing IE 11 support information on this portal then?
Changed Status from "Won't fix"
I really wasn't going to, but I have to add this… that link to "Microsoft Support service offering" is a black box and not intuitive as to how to add an issue like this. IE 11 and web standards is not limited to the operating system, but that site makes them mutually exclusive. I'm guessing this is how this type of thing is handled.

How about a laptop to complement your new Hummer H3? The semirugged Hummer Laptop from Itronix is designed to withstand accidental drops, excessive vibration, and extreme temperatures; the spill-resistant keyboard means you can type right through any Starbucks mishaps. Under the hood are a 1.86GHz Pentium M processor, 512MB RAM, and an 80GB removable hard disk drive. With a promised battery life of four hours, the Hummer Laptop looks set to surpass its automotive namesake when it comes to fuel efficiency.
With an integrated cellular modem and optional GPS, the laptop will never be out of touch or off the map. Get ready to open up your Hummer wallet, though: the Hummer Laptop costs $2,988.
To find out if it's worth the cost, we were eager to take the Hummer Laptop out and rough it up a bit. Alas, we'll have to wait until November for a review unit. Expect a full review then; meanwhile, check out the story at CNET News.com.

Teacher Talk for Parents: Speech Therapy
We've all heard that cute little kid voice. That voice that mixes up letters when trying to say certain words. W's for L's. J's instead of T's or D's. My cousin would call me "Wee-wah." My niece called me "Aunt Wee-jah." Most children are able to grow out of this phase and pronounce words correctly.
What about those students that don't? For young students who still struggle with letter sounds, it can be isolating. "Why can't I say that? Isn't that what I said?"
In addition to speech therapy, this is where I believe Genius PreK can help. Not only are there fun videos and games, but we have many eBooks that focus on letter sounds. All of our letter eBooks breakdown the letter's sound. For example, the letter L eBook, "L is for Lion," breaks down the pronunciation of the letter. It even has an image of the letter L saying the sound.
The illustration demonstrates the placement of the tongue at the back of the teeth. You can use this as a guide to help students that are struggling with L's. The audio of the eBook also repeats the L sound, so students can hear it more clearly. For example, a page of the eBook says "L-l-lake starts with L." This format is repeated throughout the eBook and is used in many other letter eBooks in Genius PreK app.
Genius PreK also has eBooks, games, and videos on blending sounds (two letters making one sound), as well as ending sounds. For example, "Blending Sounds: Every Letter Works Hard" uses words that feature "sp," "bl," "sk," and "fr" blends. With students struggling with speech, this would be a great eBook for them to read. The audio puts the emphasis on the blend and breaks down the pronunciation for the student, just like the letter eBooks! The illustrations also highlight the blend to make it more visible to the child. Not only does it help with letter identification, but it helps show the student which letters to emphasize in the word.
Another idea to help struggling students is creating Sparks! Sparks are our re-teaching resources made by our users. Students, teachers, and parents can create their own eBooks, videos, and more! This would be a great tool to keep track of student's speech progress through0ut the year. It can show students how far they have come, too! Plus, what child doesn't love watching a video of themselves over and over and over again (right, parents?). Also, students can listen to themselves with the eBooks that they make throughout the year.
Having been an educator in an integrated classroom (a class with both average performing students and students with special needs), it was always a challenge to work with students needing speech therapy. For some students, it was hard for them and their parents to know if they were actually making progress. With Sparks, I believe that it will be easier for teachers, parents, and students to track their progress with a visual representation, as opposed to standard notes and entries. In addition to speech therapy and with the support of our Genius PreK resources, students can make strides with their speech improvement! By using traditional methods and technology, students can learn and improve throughout the year in a fun and innovative way.

I go into Lucy's room every night before I go to bed. I turn on the hallway light, open her door and creep in. She is almost always asleep on her stomach, blanket and Duck wadded beneath her. When I try to straighten them, she snorts and smacks and draws her knees under her. Or sometimes she flops onto her back, irritated and frowning in her sleep. It's impossible to love her one bit more in these moments. I want to wake her up and eat her.
I don't wake her up, because even now, her sleep seems precious, though consistent. She goes to sleep at 7:30 every night, sleeps until 7 or so, and has done this regularly since she was about 5 months old. I am told to be thankful, that lots of babies don't start sleeping through the night until, well, they are not babies. I credit Jason with Lucy's sleeping (both through the night and not in our bed). His mantra: "You just have to have confidence in her. She can do it." And she did.
But until she did, I was a wreck. I read so much on the topic, I became convinced that sleep was the central issue in her (our?) well-being. She would be maladjusted, low-performing, angry if she didn't get enough rest. Not unlike her mother. Back in those early, weary days, her sleep was as fragile as a spiderweb. Naps could fall apart with the breeze. Jason says that when the baby monitor crackled to life, I would look at it in horror, like Satan herself was stirring. I would have done — and did — anything to get Lucy to sleep, and happily murdered anyone who awoke her. I once stood in the yard and shook my fist at a teenager riding his unmufflered motorcycle through the neighborhood in the middle of the afternoon. I considered calling the police. PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP AROUND HERE.
I am grateful that period was relatively brief, and that she has learned to sleep like a champ. Sometimes she dives into her crib before Jason can finish one verse of "American Pie." Other times, she talks and sings to Duck for awhile. But there is no crying, and sleep always comes. At least, for Lucy. Just like I am told to be thankful she sleeps, I am told I won't sleep the same ever again — me who snored my way through Central America by bus. But so far, what markedly less sleep I get is a little sweeter with one last peek at her.
