Number 9 worksheets
The number 9 has joined the Number Parade! The number 9 worksheets will introduce your child to the formation of the number 9, illustrate the amount the number 9 represents, and show the word for the number 9. Each of the four number worksheets also includes an activity suggestion for you to try with your child to help strengthen his knowledge of the number.
The first worksheet teaches your child the formation of the number 9 in a bright, bold illustration. Your child can become familiar with this number by tracing the number using the pointer finger on his dominant hand. Point briefly to the upper right part of the number, indicating where your child should begin "writing" with his finger. This number is written in one stroke, so remind your child to stop briefly after he writes the initial circle and before he changes direction to draw the downward line, but not to lift his finger until he has completed the number. Direct him to use his finger again as he touches each picture one time when he counts to 9. Touching each picture one time will reinforce the idea of "one to one correspondence" which means each number is counted only once. The word nine is the only number word between one and ten that begins with the letter N, so it is relatively easy for children to recognize.
The number scramble worksheet that comes next gives children practice identifying the number 9. Often the number 6 is confused with the number 9 because both numbers consist of a circle and line. The number 8, with two circles, can also be misleading. So remind your child to look for the circle at the top of the number, followed by a straight line. Your child can touch each number 9 along the path, moving his finger up, down, or across until he reaches the colored square with the 9 inside. After discovering the path, your child can use a pencil to connect each number 9.
The third worksheet provides counting practice. Counting groups of nine can be challenging, especially when the illustrations are smaller in size. Suggest to your child that he mark each picture with his pencil as he counts to keep track of those he has counted. This will reinforce one-to-one correspondence and promote accurate counting.
The fourth worksheet offers a fun cut and paste activity in addition to counting practice. Ask your child to identify the plate that has the number 9 on it. Then allow him to count out 9 of his favorite foods from the pictures on the bottom of the page and paste them on or above the number 9 on the plate. If your child is also familiar with the number 6, he can cut out 6 food items and paste them on the other plate on the worksheet. Remind your child to avoid covering the number when he pastes the food on the plate.
To reinforce the number 9 at home, show your child a tic-tac-toe board. Ask him to count the spaces by writing the numbers from 1 through 9 in each of the boxes. Then have some fun by showing him how to play tic-tac-toe. After the game is over, you can each count how many squares are covered. Then count how many blank squares there are, and explain to your child how those two numbers add up to 9.
You can also demonstrate for your child how the number 9 is made up of 3 groups of 3. To illustrate this point, show your child 1 triangle and let him count the 3 points or sides on it. The add 2 more triangles for a total of 3 triangles and ask your child to count all of the sides or points he sees. You can also show your child a picture of 3 tricycles and ask him to count the total number of wheels on all 3 tricycles.
After your child has completed all of the number 9 worksheets, don't forget to print the number 9 tracing numbers worksheet. This worksheet will give your child important practice tracing and writing the number 9. This can be a challenging number to write because it consists of both a circle and a straight line, which means there are many direction changes to be made without lifting the pencil. Some children like to think of this number as a balloon on a stick.
Coming next week: The number 10!

Therefore the impact of the literariness in the cultural life was tremendous Greek, who, according to Jose Trindade Saints, would have led about four centuries making comfortable it (e, exactly thus, is not possible to know if the totality of the citizens would have some time access to the written word, in a world where the morality never left to reign). It is clearly, therefore, that Jaeger, when studying the concept of paid, left of side much thing, (and nor it could give account): it did not tell the disturbing elements of the order in the voice of the rhapsody, bards (also called redo), poets, fiestas etc., provokers of the development of the philosophy politics, stimulates of the controversy, disorganizes of the internal order of the intellectual and affective faultiness of the time, etc. etc.,

A human being is composed of four bodies, like a series of layers: the physical body, matter; the subtle body, energy; the causal body, mind; the supracausal body, infinite consciousness. All vibrating at different speeds, yet present in the same form. They're so distinct from each other that they might as well be different planets, yet in reality they are different vibrational aspects of our very own Self.
Yoga is about establishing the points of connection between these layers, and love is the fastest and surest way to connect all points within the Self in an instant and bind them together. Love is the ultimate power of attraction that draws the infinite points of our Self to a single place. This is a profound form of pure mysticism wherein the container of body, mind, and spirit are fused together and transformed into something greater than the sum of the parts. It is the philosopher's stone, the transformation of lead into gold.

easyJet Holidays Customer Reviews
EasyJet makes holiday planning so easy
I've used Easyjet for years and love the idea of not spending a fortune on airfares. But I really like this site as well. I just type in my destination and dates, and the site comes up with both airfare and hotel information and quotes. This takes the pain out of planning trips for me, and I hate planning these things. And since it's a name I trust, I find that I don't do much comparing to other sites and other offers even. I just trust that EasyJet is finding me the best possible price for what's on offer. We just returned from a Parisian holiday, and we could not have been happier with our flight or the hotel. We had seven nights in a hotel in Montparnasse, and this deal included a candle-lit dinner on the Seine. Very romantic. For our next trip, I'll be checking out EasyJet Holidays again.
Fab deals on package holidays!
Easyjet has fantastic prices on airfare so I thought I'd give their holidays a try as well. Very happy I decided to take the gamble because my holiday to Barcelona was amazing. I loved that you can pay a deposit and then the rest is not required until four weeks before departure - it allowed me to save up the money for my holiday instead of putting it on my credit card like I planned. It was really fast to get the entire trip sorted and the price was definitely loads better than other travel sites I'd been researching. Will book with easyjet holidays again!

Political Notebook: Vallejo pastor, LGBT residents clash overcity council race
by Matthew S. Bajko
The decision by a pastor in Vallejo with a checkered past when it comes to LGBT issues to this year seek a city council seat has once again thrust the Bay Area city into the headlines.
The bayside enclave in southern Solano County has long attracted LGBT people seeking cheaper housing, as the Bay Area Reporter noted in a 2008 Pride issue article. Several gay men have served on its city council, and former councilman Gary Cloutier was briefly declared the winner of Vallejo's 2007 mayoral race before a recount seven days later pushed him out of office.
Two years later the winner of that contest, Mayor Osby Davis, was forced to apologize for an interview with a New York Times columnist where he said gay people were "committing sin." He insisted his comments were taken out of context, and despite his apology, faced calls for the council to censure him.
This time it is pastor Anthony Summers 's candidacy that has alarmed a number of the city's LGBT residents, who have been vocally campaigning against him. They have also criticized local Democratic Party officials for endorsing Summers when he opposes abortion, a main position of the state party platform.
"I am hopeful he will be defeated. But it terrifies me to think we could have an anti-choice, anti-gay, and pro-bullying councilman" said Stephen Hallett, 26, a gay man who is a Vallejo native.
As the opposition against him has heated up ahead of the Tuesday, November 5 election, Summers has sought to address his critics' claims and refute his being characterized as anti-gay or homophobic, noting he has a gay niece who he fully loves and supports.
In posts to his campaign website, emails to those opposing him, and several media interviews, Summers has insisted that as "a black man in America" he "personally" understands what it means to be discriminated against and opposes all forms of discrimination.
"Tony absolutely and unequivocally condemns discrimination of any person, in any form, for any reason," states a message on his campaign site.
His response has not mollified those opposing Summers in the eight-person race who are concerned that his actions will not match his words should he win one of the three four-year council terms up for grabs this year.
"This seems like a conversion on the way to the polls in the election. It is not what he has said, it is what he has done," said David Crumrine, 52, who moved to Vallejo seven years ago with his husband, Joey Lake .
Crumrine is a co-founder of an ad hoc committee looking at forming a new LGBT Democratic Club in Solano County. In recent weeks the group has unsuccessfully pushed to see the Solano County Democratic Central Committee and state Assemblywoman Susan A. Bonilla (D-Concord), who represents Vallejo, rescind their endorsements of Summers.
"This is really about whether religious values, which have their place, should be made central to policy-making decisions," said Crumrine, who has tangled with Summers politically over the years. "That is really our point."
In a recent interview with the B.A.R. , Summers, 54, a married father of three daughters, insisted he has no agenda to pursue anti-gay laws should he win a council seat.
"That is ludicrous," said Summers, pointing out that he has publicly called for the city to revive its Human Rights Commission to deal with complaints about LGBT issues and has endorsed LGBT sensitivity training for the city's police department.
His platform is focused on jobs, economic development, and public safety.
"I want to change the dynamic of Vallejo," said Summers, who works for a company that provides job training to people who are incarcerated. "We have some wonderful things happening in our city. We need to lift that up."
Asked about his position on same-sex marriage, Summers told the B.A.R. that he voted against Proposition 8, the constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage California voters passed in 2008. He acknowledged that during the campaign five years he ago he was part of a local faith organization that took a public stand in support of Prop 8.
"There is such a thing as guilt by association," he said.
In an email to Hallett regarding his position on the issue, Summers wrote, "As it relates to marriage equity, my position is still the same. Although I do not personally agree with it, I do not and will not discriminate against anybody!! People have the right to marry whomever they desire."
Another issue Summers has been addressing is his opposition to the Vallejo City Unified School District's recent introduction of anti-bullying videos. Last year, a number of students and parents accused the school district of not addressing the issue after several incidents attracted widespread media attention.
Summers told the B.A.R. what he opposes is showing elementary school children videos that "I consider sex education, which was way too soon," and not giving parents the ability to opt out their children from the classes.
"I would still not want any public school teachers teaching my children about sex education without my consent," he said. "That was the issue to me."
Summers has also sought to distance himself from Ed Silvoso, the founder of Harvest Evangelism who has worked with Julius Oyet, a leading promoter of Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill, according to the group Truth Wins Out. Summers appears in several videos posted online created by Silvoso's California-based ministry that claim "prayer evangelism" helped Vallejo come out of its municipal bankruptcy.
In an open letter he sent to supporters, Summers wrote it is "absurd" to link his views to those of Silvoso and that their relationship "is remote."
He added, "I do not believe nor does Ed Silvoso believe in the killing of gay people – period! I've been in pastoral ministry and caring compassionately for people for 25 years. If that had been Ed's position I would have disassociated myself from him a long time ago."
There are those within Vallejo's LGBT community who support Summers, the most prominent being Jonathan Gordon, a gay man who is president of United Democrats of Southern Solano County. After moving to Vallejo in 2004, Gordon, 62, came out publicly two years ago at a central committee meeting.
His endorsement of Summers came after spending numerous hours speaking to the candidate about a host of issues, including how to improve Vallejo's score on the Human Rights Campaign's Municipal Equality Index. In 2012 the city scored a 52 out of a possible 100 points, earning deductions for such things as failing to have a local LGBT non-discrimination ordinance, no LGBT police liaison, or any elected out officials.
Based on those conversations Gordon said he felt confident in backing Summers for a council seat. Though he allowed he had "failed" the city's LGBT community by not doing a better job of explaining his decision.
Gordon said he believes Summers when he says he will not promote an anti-gay agenda at City Hall. And after visiting Summers's church one recent Sunday, Gordon added he did not witness homophobic preaching but saw a theology of personal empowerment.
"Simply by my endorsing Anthony a whole new world opened up to me of new people who hadn't been talking to me or I hadn't opened them up to me. It dawned on me how segregated we were by this meme and prejudice and stupid thinking," said Gordon, referring to the attacks against Summers. "It has been a battle zone here over the last eight years where the gay community had not talked to the black community. Somebody had to break the ice."
Bonilla also told the B.A.R. in a phone interview that she "spent hours asking questions and vetting" Summers after the accusations against him emerged following her and the local Democratic Party's endorsement of him. Her endorsement of Summers came as part of a slate of candidates backed by local unions and other party leaders.
"If I had felt the things being said about him were true, I would not continue to endorse him. I feel he has answered those opinions and answered it clearly," she said. "I felt what I was endorsing was really an effort to strengthen the city of Vallejo and bring unity to the city."
Bonilla added that, "It is important to ask difficult questions of a candidate and put a candidate on record. One of the takeaways from the process is Mr. Summers has now spoken on the record to answer the questions about his positions."
If nothing else, the council race appears to have energized both gay and straight Vallejo residents upset with the status quo politically who are looking to make changes.
Craig Scott, a gay man in his 50s who moved to town in July from San Francisco. "There are a lot of people upset but no political channel to join and get these issues addressed. It indicates to me that, yes, we need a Stonewall type club. We need something to counterbalance these Christian fundamentalists."

A plan is afoot to help bail out homeowners struggling against foreclosure. It amounts to a "massive expansion" of the Federal Housing Administration, the agency that insures home mortgages, the AP reports.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Homeowners staggering under mounting mortgage debt and facing foreclosure could get cheaper, government-backed loans under Democrats' housing rescue plan.
But first, lenders would have to agree to wipe out part of their debt. And the borrowers would have to show they could afford the new mortgage. They also would have to agree to share any future profits on the home with the government.
The plan would be a massive expansion of the Federal Housing Administration, the Depression-era mortgage insurer. FHA would take on $300 billion in new loans for as many as 1 million distressed homeowners, most of whom otherwise wouldn't qualify for a government-backed loan.

A local gas attendent put GASOLINE in my vehicle. It is a one-owner and has been VERY WELL maintained. We even have a life time oil change agreement on it. Anyhow, we didn't know and drove it about 15-20 minutes then parked it overnight at my home. It was running rough but I thought perhaps it was the change in the fuel mix since the seasons are changing. Next morning I started it fine. White smoke out of exhaust. Never seen before. Make it about 4-5 blocks and loss of power with huge billows of white smoke. Thinking perhaps water in line. Let out water. Get back in car and restart. Still huge billows of white smoke. My children tell me water is still coming out. I don't believe them because I know I closed the release valve. Still no power. Lots on pinging and shaking upon acceleration. Car is towed. Five days later (due to weekend and a Monday holiday) mechanic calls me and asks where I purchased fuel last. I tell him without hesitation. Same place for many, many years. He tells me tank is full of gas and explains that what I thought to be water was actually gas. Tells me gas is now spurting profusely from under intake manifold, and running down his driveway. (He turned off motor quickly.) So, is it fixable? I'm concerned that if I repair "it" that there will still be lots of hidden damage. Pistons, injectors, chamber, etc. And that the life of the motor has been reduced. Less than a month earlier I had just spent nearly $5000 on nearly rebuilding the engine, the fuel system, and more. We've been looking for other diesel 15 passenger vans (would need the heavy duty tranny again) but haven't been able to locate anything and I'm afraid with a used one I'll be replacing my baby with a "problem child." So, do we repair it? Would requiring a remanufactured engine be better and eliminate the risk of hidden damage and a prematurely useless engine.

Peeling a shop-bought sweet potato recently, we found it was beginning to sprout. I firmed in the pieces of peel into damp compost and now leaves are beginning to grow happily. Too late into the growing season to hope for results but, question is, can I overwinter these plants and hope to grow a crop in containers next year?

Comment by Morten Juhl-Johansen Zölde-Fejér — April 22, 2013 @ 4:19 am
It's high time somebody, somewhere, somehow challenged these companies on their bogus takedowns.
And you're the perfect man for the job, Cory!

Good luck! You're up against a big-media wall that has probably already copyrighted the word 'Homeland' now and forever in every context possible. It's been a while since I've read you, but I think I'll go out and buy more of your work, at the very least on principle.
Comment by Trenton — April 22, 2013 @ 7:43 am
There's no copyright in words, only trademarks, and the DMCA doesn't apply to trademarks. But yes, buying more books is always good!
Comment by Cory Doctorow — April 22, 2013 @ 7:46 am
Now is the time to bring out that copyright math calculator. Sue the bastards.
Not only is there damage to you, there is damage to the genre and Canada. And that copyright math calculator will make it worth a lawyer's while. EFF may help as well.
If you start a fund to support your suit against, I will contribute.
Comment by Matt H. — April 22, 2013 @ 7:52 am
Thanks for that. I've talked to EFF. If I do something legal, it'll be to make a good precedent, not to get rich.
Comment by Cory Doctorow — April 22, 2013 @ 7:57 am
Oh, god, how awesome would it be if someone at Fox was imprisoned for perjury because of this.
Comment by copylefter — April 22, 2013 @ 9:05 am
since they're in essence fraudulently claiming to be the rightsholder to your work, i imagine you could sue them for infringement…

It's most likely being flagged by automated software, not an actual human being — see Ars's piece at http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/04/not-that-homeland-fox-sends-bogus-takedowns-for-copyright-reformers-book/ , which notes that in 2011 WB sent a takedown notice for the URL "http://hotfile.com/contacts.html and give them the details of where the link was posted and the link and they will deal with the @sshole who posted the fake."
I think you've actually hit on the "How could anyone be so careless?" question with your observation about the massive loophole in proving fraudulent takedowns are deliberate: it's actually easier for a company to claim it didn't KNOWINGLY issue a fraudulent takedown notice if it intentionally uses the broadest, most poorly-designed automated takedown system possible.
The less thought and care they put into issuing takedowns, the more legal protection they have when they send out a fraudulent one.

Knauf Insulation has launched the revolutionary new mineral wool, which reduces the product's embodied energy and delivers superior environmental sustainability using patented ECOSE® Technology. With mineral wool insulation already considered the best performing insulation in terms of low environmental impact, this development extends the leading position of mineral wool as the insulation product of the future.
Knauf Insulation mineral wool products with ECOSE® Technology benefit from a natural, formaldehyde-free binder made from rapidly renewable organic materials instead of petroleum-based chemicals. The technology has been developed for Knauf Insulation's glass and rock mineral wool products, enhancing their environmental credentials without affecting the thermal, acoustic or fire performance.
The ECOSE® Technology binder is up to 70% less energy intensive than traditional oil based binders. With Knauf Insulation mineral wool products containing high recycled and renewable content, this contributes to an already superior performance when it comes to embodied energy. Insulation products made with ECOSE® Technology contain no dye and artificial colours – the colour is completely natural.
"We see sustainability as an evolutionary process, based on continuous improvement and pushing technical boundaries," said Mark Andrews, managing director of Knauf Insulation. "This development was driven by our intensive research and development programme to fulfil our desire to provide customers with innovative products that meet the growing market need for more sustainable construction materials, and represents the most significant step change in insulation manufacture that I can recall."
Knauf Insulation mineral wool products with ECOSE® Technology are distinguished by a natural brown colour, and the ECOSE® branding is clearly visible on packaging. ECOSE® Technology will be available within the Knauf Insulation Rocksilk and Earthwool Loft Roll ranges initially, with plans to extend its usage across Knauf Insulation's product portfolio as soon as possible.

The Joint Finance Committee decided to implement a system wide tuition freeze last June for the next two years for the University of Wisconsin after determining that the UW system's reserve was too large. Without the tuition freeze, students at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point would have seen a two percent tuition increase this year, and students at other UW schools could have seen up to a five percent increase.
The tuition money would have gone to fund thing such as adding sections of over crowed classes, giving professors pay raises, and increasing funding to the Tutoring and Learning Center.
"As far as the tuition freeze goes from the student end it is a great thing for students. Now, instead of having a consistent five and a half percent raise students will know what their tuition is going to be," said David Boardman, vice president of the SGA.
"As far as the University goes it may mean that we are going to have to look around and find out how
much money is available and be more innovative with our solutions."
In addition to the loss of money from the tuition freeze $2.5 million was cut from UWSP's biannual budget. The cuts will be spaced out over two years, cutting two million from this year's budget and another half million from next year's budget.
"It was one of the largest budget cuts that we've ever seen," said Erin Hintz, budget director for UWSP.
The university will be leaning on reserve money to get through the budget cut and tuition freeze without cutting programs or departments for the first year.
"Because we were able to cover the cost of the cuts, we will have a year before we have to start making those hard decisions," said Ryan Specht, president of the SGA.
Boardman said that you can expect to see UW administration trying to mend the fences with Wisconsin legislatures to rebuild some of the trust that was lost after the reserve was found.
Two projects that will not be lost in the midst of budget cuts are the Green Fund and the new science building, although there was initial concern that both projects would be tabled. The Green Fund, and SGA funded project, will start work in a few weeks and the state will be funding the new science building to be built in 2015.
Differential tuition, which the SGA has been lobbying to implement at UWSP for the past two years, has also been tabled, as it is a form of tuition. The SGA went to the Capital and lobbied to be allowed to keep the tuition but they were turned down. The SGA will be allowed to make another attempt to implement differential tuition in two years, when the tuition freeze will end.
Despite the freeze, SGA was able to maintain the right to raise segregated fees, which fund things like health services, the TLC, and the campus cab. The SGA did opt not to raise fees this semester.

Budgerigar Right now in 2013, the Budgerigar lives in the grasslands of Australia. They have distinctive markings on their head and are found in vivid green colors, some with white patches. They have black bands of stripes on their wings to blend in with the tall grasses and trees. They have hooked beaks to hull the seeds they eat quickly. They have sharp nails and pink feet.
They are extremely intelligent and have excellent eyesight, but are quite weak and small. Budgerigars are friendly and social little animals. They're hearing and sense of smell is weak. But they're eyes can see much better than humans, they can see into a fourth spectrum of light, ultra violet. They can tell if you've been in the sun or not. When they're flying over the grasslands in their huge flocks, they can see every grain of seed on the plains.
They are currently the most popular domestic bird when kept in a household. They have high risk of gaining fatty tumors and such, since seeds are high in fat. They are also prone to bacteria and need stronger immunity systems. Lorigar 1 million years later in 1,002,013, Lorigars now roam the dry, scorching Australian grasslands. The sun has expanded several feet and is now closer to Earth. Most vegetation in Australia is dead and dried and water is scare. Animals are more desperate then ever and competition is high. Many fight are breaking out often.
Lorigars have become more lightly colored with less markings so they blend into the dry earth. They have less dark markings and lighter bands on they're wings. They're eyes scan the dry earth for water. They are becoming more wary of others as the sun get warmer and warmer. Florakeets Another million years later, in 2,002,013, what were known as Lorigars have moved to the jungle. They are now called Florakeets. The Austrailian grasslands have dried out, leaving no home for the birds. They move to the Amazon jungle, which is thriving under the hot sun. Many of their relatives live their, such as various types of parrots, lorikeets, and other exotic birds.
They now have a slightly larger beak to fit with the food of the jungle. They have become accustomed to the exotic jungle fruits and nuts. They have regained their bright, festive colors to match with their bright habitat. They're feathers are now water resistant, as they can now fly and move when damp. 3 A budgie(short for budgerigar)
can see something up to 300-400 feet away! Budgerigars Evolution Melanie Zhao
Period 5 2 1 Junglekeet Over the course of another million years, it is now 3,002,013. The sun has been getting warmer and warmer. The jungle, however, is still thriving, as the sunlight supports tree growth. Hundred of new berries and seed have been discovered. These birds are still thriving in the jungle. Some have still remained companions of humans, as they were before.
The Junglekeet is now what we used to called the budgerigar. They have grown in size, almost twice as large as before, now a bit smaller than the size of a cockatiel. They're wings, eyes, beak, organs have all also expanded in size. They can hear and smell better, though eyesight is still dominant. They can fly faster, up to 70 miles per hour, as opposed to 40 miles per hour before. They are now omnivores, eating insects as well as fruits, veggies and seeds found in the tropical forests. These animals have evolved into a thriving species, and are not a easily challenged as they were before. 4 Thank You for Watching Markings Good Eyesight Vibrant Color Bigger Body Jungle Habitat Water-proof

Mark Cuban Sells Facebook Stake; 'It was Gambling Money'
Mark Cuban's foray into Facebook didn't last long.
The billionaire investor and Dallas Mavs owner sold his stake in the social network, less than a month after initially disclosing he had built a position in the company following its bungled initial public offering.
"I took my hit, my thesis was wrong," Cuban said in a CNBC interview. "I thought we'd get a quick bounce just with some excitement about the stock. I was wrong, and when you're wrong you don't wait, you just get out. I took a beating and left."
Late last month, Cuban disclosed on his blog that he had snatched up 150,000 shares of Facebook in three separate purchases. He said he bought 50,000 shares at $33, another 50,000 at $31.97 and 50,000 at $32.50. All three investments are currently underwater. Facebook today is up 4.2% at $31.26, but still down about 18% from its $38 IPO price.
At the time, Cuban described the move as "a trade, not an investment" and compared it to trading baseball cards.
"It was gambling money, to be honest with you," he said on Monday. "Any time you try to time the market, you get what you deserve. Sometimes you're right. Sometimes you're wrong. This time I was wrong."
Facebook's trading debut last month was marred by technical glitches on the Nasdaq Stock Market, which left many investors confused over whether their orders to buy and sell shares had been fulfilled. The stock's steep decline over its first month of trading left it as the worst-performing IPO of $1 billion or more for a U.S.-based company, according to Dealogic.
Cuban says much of the decline is due to basic supply and demand issues. Days before pricing the IPO, Facebook boosted the size of the deal to 421 million shares.
By comparison, LinkedIn issued only 8.4 million shares when it debuted last year. The stock more than doubled durings its first day of trading. "If Facebook did the same, the stock would be at about $200 right now," Cuban says.
Cuban also had strong words about the role of high frequency trading in today's market.
"High-frequency trading has zero place in the market," he said. "They should get rid of it altogether because it's an unquantifiable risk that can impact the market in ways that we can't even define."

The forging of the sword under the opening credits, from molten steel to magnificent blade thrust into the sky, cogently embodies the cinema of John Milius. Visualizing Robert E. Howard's creation in the midst of the Reagan era is an offer the auteur can't refuse, he has at hand Die Nibelungen and Basil Poledouris's noble score, and proceeds to conjure unsurpassed perceptions -- this isn't a matter of decorating juvenility a la Lucas, but of finding the ideal channel for a deeply felt worldview, and a personal stab at Apocalypse Now, besides. Oliver Stone's treatment originally took a post-apocalyptic view, Milius reverses it to "days of high adventure" for full, primeval splendor. The raid on the village which renders little Conan an orphan establishes the operatic tenor, accumulating intensity in the face of wackiness -- the leader of the Nordic horsemen removes an Eisensteinian helmet to reveal James Earl Jones himself, the boy is chained to the Wheel of Pain until he's as huge as Arnold Schwarzenegger. Conan learns "sense of worth" in the gladiatorial pit, his first line is a bloodthirsty Genghis Khan maxim: Vengeance is in his mind, he ventures into civilization, "wicked and ancient," to seek his parents' killer. Milius essays his aesthetic of body-worship and self-testing in the pellucid deep-focus of a giant serpent's dilating pupil and in the insinuating rhythms of a cannibalistic bacchanalia, with a canny sense of drollery (the Thulsa Doom cultists are the wimpy hippies of Big Wednesday, even Mako the clumsy wizard scoffs at them). Every performer is keyed to the timbre: Schwarzenegger hones his loping humor ("I am afraid and I am shy," he tells a pederast priest), Sandahl Bergman was born to don Valkyrie gear, Max von Sydow as the King Osric is cause to regret his never playing Lear. For all the fascinating fascism on display, however, Milius' vision of Man becoming Man by slaying Father and God is the opposite of Riefenstahl's enshrining of authority, an action blockbuster distilling Zarathustra's adage ("warrior, woman... the rest is madness"). With Gerry Lopez, Ben Davidson, Cassandra Gava, Valérie Quennessen, and William Smith.

The gentleman who represents the minority party on the Rules Committee has confronted this issue in the past. He confronted it in 2002, he confronted it in 2003, he confronted it in 2004 and again in 2005. On each of those occasions he voted to increase the debt limit. His party was in charge. Unfortunately my party voted against it at that point in time because we weren't in charge. The point I make is that the American public too often believes that we do not do what we think is the responsible thing for our country but what think is the right thing to do from the perspective of our party...

Disaster-hit Golf Course Redeveloped as Solar Plant (page 3)
Expertise in mega-solar power plant to be applied to urban building business
Fig. 1: 2MW-capacity Phase 1 area at "Mori Trust Energy Park Izumizaki" (source: Nikkei BP)
Fig. 2: Many traces of the former golf course have been left. (source: Nikkei BP)
Fig. 3: Teeing grounds were also left untouched. (source: Nikkei BP)
Fig. 4: Trees and greens were kept as much as possible. (source: Mori Trust)
Fig. 5: The solar panels are laid out with intervals on the upper and bottom sides of the neighboring panels so snow would easily fall down, as in the lower photo. (source: Nikkei BP)
At some solar power plants in heavy snowfall areas, solar panels are tilted at 30° or more so that snow slips off them. As Nishi-Shirakawa-gun, Fukushima Prefecture, does not have that much snow, the solar panels were tilted at 20°. The aim was to install the number of solar panels that can secure the expected amount of power generation in limited areas where solar panels can be set up without additional development.
Tilted at 20°, solar panels seldom shade neighboring panels even in the morning and evening when the sun is low and makes shadows longer, securing greater annual power generation. The standard height of solar panels was set at 60cm from the ground.
In addition, the design allows snow accumulated on the panels to slip off from the 20cm space set between the upper and bottom sides of the neighboring panels (Fig. 5).
The manufacturers of the solar panels and PV inverters used for the Phase 1 solar power generation system with 2MW output have not been revealed. But two manufacturers' solar panels were adopted in Phase 1. This was for the purpose of verifying the panels for the Phase 2 construction and for consideration such as in introducing reusable energy to Mori Trust's urban building business in the future.
Based on discussions by the Innovation Business Department at Mori Trust Hotels & Resorts Co Ltd (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo), the latest mega solar power plant was designed to be profitable by leveraging the group's knowledge and management resources.
The Mori Trust Group said it will make the most of its experiences and knowledge acquired through this mega-solar power plant, approaching reusable energy-based power generation as a key issue along with the improvement in energy-use efficiency in its existing urban building business.
Among its urban buildings, Mori Trust accepted a total of about 3,600 displaced people to the Sendai Trust Tower, which is equipped with an emergency power generator, when the earthquake struck the region. The company's Kyobashi OM Building, recently constructed in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, is equipped with an emergency power generator with a capacity equivalent to the weekly power consumption of the entire building as well as a stand-alone system combining solar panels and rechargeable batteries.

Worcester State Hospital Architect
Even though I've read in several sources that Ward P. Delano designed the Worcester State Hospital Kirkbride, today I learned that is untrue. The actual architect was George Dutton Rand. You can read all about him in the third letter to the editor listed on this page at the Preservation Nation web site.
I just wanted to point that out since I've been spreading the Delano lie on this site for years. Even more embarrassingly, I also did so in a comment on the original Preservation Nation article which inspired that letter to the editor — although in my defense, the original article listed Thomas Kirkbride as the architect and I was trying to dispel the common misconception that Dr Kirkbride personally designed all these buildings himself.

Building Trust – Three Key Management Tactics
Consistency is the key.
In the process of building trust, being consistent and predictable is vital.
If your behavioral patterns change from to week to week, trusting you becomes difficult. Your people get twitchy and uncomfortable when plans and expectations change too much.
Be Easily Available.
Your people you! That's what you are a manager and a leader for!
Whilst there may be times when, for purposes of doing your own work, you need to remain undisturbed, there needs to be a balance. You are the manager and they will need you for specific involvement in day to day activities.
So, be around when they need you!
Maintaining confidences
Employees who you manage must be able to confide in you sensitive information, express concern and share problems.
People need to know that you can keep this confidential when they need you to.
Sometimes these can be personal matters and in such cases this becomes even more important.
Remember, you need to be seen to be trustworthy at all times.

Sometimes video games aren't meant to empower or immerse, but for something much more primal: to scare the crap out of you. Playboy's Fear and Loading series peers down dark hallways and checks under gaming's bed to find the games that terrify us, and delves into how and why they work.
By releasing interactive horror movie/video game Until Dawn in August, sans promotion, Sony demonstrated its lack of faith in the game. Instead of taking advantage of a month where ghastly decorations, movies, and games are anticipated, even expected, they sent it to a heat death just before the end of summer.
This is unfortunate, because if there's even a small part of your brain that loves the horror genre, Until Dawn will give you something delicious to gnash on during a wind-chilled, pumpkin-spiced night. It also might be the best Scooby-Doo game you'll ever play. Bear with me for a moment.
You'll be guiding eight shitty teenagers (played by actors in their late-20s and early-30s, just like Hollywood!) through a perfectly clichéd slasher movie set-up: an isolated lodge in a frigid Canadian forest. A party prank went awry a year ago, and the group has come together once again to make amends. Before long, the Butterfly Effect mechanic (in which you make small decisions that eventually decide each character's fate) hints that something wrong is afoot on this secluded mountain. A bit of searching leads you to totems left behind by indigenous peoples, which trigger quick, deadly glimpses into the future. Curiously, nobody mentions the fact they just had a horrible premonition about one of their friends dying. Velma would disapprove.
And then you start finding the clues: a broken glass case with a missing fire axe, a loaded rifle forgotten near a cable car station, a wanted poster mentioning death threats with just the picture torn off. Jinkies! While you're babysitting these terribly fragile teens, you focus on this evidence, trying to decipher which of these are red herrings. Something's off here, and you start to investigate, not unlike the Scooby gang throughout their decades of mystery-solving.
Conspicuously-placed clues, hidden bookshelf buttons leading to secret rooms, and the overall "Whodunit" atmosphere make it easy to start role-playing as Mystery, Inc. themselves. Though Until Dawn features a regrettable lack of talking dogs, all of the rest of the pieces fit. The dorky Chris can be your stand-in for Shaggy, though you won't see him drinking laundry soup or acting like a thinly-veiled stoner at any point. Mike will be your Fred, meat-headed but determined. Jessica and her tendency to get into trouble makes her the perfect Danger-Prone Daphne. Level-headed Sam always knows exactly what to do. She'll be our Velma.
Exploring the lodge is harrowing because we suspect that something awful is going to happen eventually. But alhough the choices you're making early on are setting the stage for what's to come in the latter half of the game, the only immediate repercussions are toothless jump scares. Your simulated Scooby gang will continue to unravel what's going on. Clues that seem a tad too obvious keep popping up. The one person you're probably suspecting at this point is looking fishier by the minute. But it doesn't all line up. Our teens split up early on, and something's been chasing all of them. There have even been times in the forest where the camera takes on the role of a voyeur, complete with what looks like thermal vision, eerily watching these horny kids from afar. And what about the displays of superhuman strength? Jessica was wrenched through a window, like, zoinks!
So when the Psycho is unmasked—in true Scooby Doo style, it was someone they knew all along—not all of our questions are answered. Their motive makes sense, but how was this person in so many places at once? What aren't we being told? Where are the Scooby Snacks?
This is where the "gamut" in the headline comes in. At this point, we need to make the distinction between Scooby-Doo episodes and Scooby-Doo movies. In the show, there was almost always a logical explanation for the spooky goings-on; a projectionist was using his talents to scare people in the dilapidated movie theatre, or the president of the bank is dressing up as The Creeper to keep people from noticing that he was robbing his own bank. Though the gang is initially afraid, logic always prevails and the supernatural is always dismissed.
Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island threw a wrench into this idea. This animated movie showed an older Mystery, Inc. that dissolved as time went on, tired of every case ending with another criminal in a monster costume. Daphne and Fred now have a successful show where they look for historical landmarks, but they miss the old gang. They decide to rustle everyone back together to find a real ghost, and end up finding more than they bargained for. Zombies and werecats turn out to be very real and very dangerous. One wonders why they didn't call it Scooby-Doo: Shit Just Got Real. For the next few years, the films continued this trend of for-really-reals monsters.
Back to Until Dawn. Our walking stereotypes soon become privy to the fact that no, the Psycho is not the only threat in these woods. Indeed, something has been chasing them—something inhuman. Those totems suddenly make sense when you realize that this mountain is infested with…wendigos.
Yes, Wendigos, the flesh-craving creatures of Algonquian legend that were born when one human ate another. They're pale, emaciated humanoids with limbs longer than limbs should be.
Transitioning from a human antagonist to a supernatural one deftly ramps up the tension in both narrative and gameplay mechanics. Just like those Scooby-Doo movies, any pretense of safety is thrown into a wood chipper the moment that it turns out that humans aren't always the real monsters. Hanna-Barbera would never kill off their characters (can you imagine the outrage?), but Until Dawn has no such reservations. Once you learn about the wendigos, the potential for your characters to die increases dramatically. The wrong choice will lead to death. Prepare to see Chris get his head yanked off if you're too slow.
Supermassive Games played the role of Doctor Frankenstein here, taking the viscera of the horror genre and stitching it into the narrative framing of a mystery that Scooby and the Gang would find themselves solving. This ghoulish concoction is enticing in a way that many (including Sony, it would seem) never expected. If you need Halloween plans, I suggest playing this on a big screen with a group of friends, taking group votes for every decision. Your own little gang of intrepid explorers can get to the bottom of this, but be prepared for the worst.
Meddling kids, indeed.
Zack Furniss can usually be found at Destructoid, where he writes primarily about horror games and geeks out about Dungeons & Dragons. When he's not writing, he's remodeling homes. You can call him a Zack-of-all-trades, but he'll probably roll his eyes.

America loves baseball, and to kick off the 2016 season a group of au pairs in the San Francisco Bay Area enjoyed the sights and sounds of this favorite pastime! It was a warm and sunny Sunday in March when a group of over 25 au pairs attended a University of California Berkeley baseball game. The group showed up ready and excited, many dressed in Blue and Gold to cheer on the hometown Cal Berkeley Bears. They were eager to show their pride but also equally enthusiastic about learning the rules of the American sport.

Walter Mazzarri praised Sampdoria's performance and admitted "it was Inter's worst performance of the season."
New President Erick Thohir was in the stands for the first time, but watched Renan snatch a last-minute equaliser for 1-1.
"I'll be honest, the way I see football this was our worst performance of the season. We went too deep after going 1-0 up, though even then we hadn't started that well," the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
"Too many players were below par today. Ricky Alvarez started ok, but after his booking he seemed tense and didn't move well enough. Sampdoria remained aggressive throughout and they fully deserved the draw today.
"We had several chances to finish off the game with Fredy Guarin hitting the post, but we weren't ruthless enough. A great team must bring something extra out to put the result beyond doubt.
"Sampdoria deserve credit for pressing us, winning their tackles and never giving in. Our intensity levels were off and that's something we have to reflect on.
"Just as we deserved to win against Bologna, I have to admit we deserved to draw this game. This is not the Inter I like to see.
"I am sending a message to the players, as I don't understand why sometimes we drop our guard and slow down the tempo. Some of those who are unaccustomed to playing regularly for Inter must learn they need to always give their all in every game.
"We were far too inconsistent and only held control for five minutes at a time. We were distracted, pushed forward sporadically and I saw a different level of concentration to our usual standards. We must reflect on that and not do it again."
New President Thohir was in the San Siro stands for the first time, sitting alongside Massimo Moratti.
"It was nice to see Thohir and Moratti together, helping the club to get bigger and better. We can't say this affected our concentration, it's just a shame we were unable to give him a victory today. I think it hurt me to throw points away more than it did him!"

Neil Lennon watched Celtic clinch back-to-back Clydesdale Premier League titles with an impressive 4-1 victory over Inverness Caledonian Thistle yesterday, and told fans in his on-the-pitch address: "I'm the happiest man in the country.
"It was a brilliant performance. A great way to win the title."
His delight was shared by his players, with stand-in captain Joe Ledley, who was on the scoresheet, speaking of how inspired he is by the winning habit at the club.
The Welshman, wearing the armband in the absence of Scott Brown, scored in between a Gary Hooper double with Georgios Samaras, on for Anthony Stokes, netting with a virtuoso goal two minutes from time before Aaron Doran scored a late consolation for the visitors.
It was the midfielder's second consecutive title win since joining the Parkhead club from Cardiff City in 2010 and he has the chance to win a second William Hill Scottish Cup winners medal next month when Celtic face Hibs in the Hampden final.
The 26-year-old said he could not be happier with the pressure of always having to produce. "Winning does become a bit of a habit," he said. "It's the hardest thing – going out there and winning games. When you join a club like Celtic it takes a while but you grow into it and then that's all you want to do.
"We're a young squad – and very hungry – and I think that's what you need in a team. Everyone wants to win and when we don't win there's a few arguments and things like that.
"We're winners at the end of the day and that's what we want to do. The pressure to win is the best there is. It's no good going to a club that's mid-table or fighting relegation and thinking 'let's go here and get a point or hang on'.
"At Celtic, wherever you go, whether it's in the league or the Champions League, you are always under pressure to win. That's what you want as a footballer – to win things. It's fantastic to come here and have that pressure and I think we've dealt with it fantastically well this season especially in the Champions League. Hopefully we can just continue that until the end of the season."
While speculation surrounds which players could be leaving Celtic in the summer, with 28-goal Hooper and midfielder Victor Wanyama favourites to go, Ledley is keen to stay and hopes disruption is kept to a minimum.
"There will always be ins and outs in football at every single club," said the Wales international. "We have a fantastic team and I'll be very surprised if everyone stays. Everyone has watched us in the Champions League and SPL and there's going to be a lot of interest in the majority of the players.
"But if we can keep it together, we have a fantastic future and Celtic will go forward and hopefully qualify for the Champions League again. There's nothing new with my own situation at the moment but I'll sit down near the beginning of next season and try to sort something out.
"Myself, Gary and Kelvin (Wilson) all have a lot of time left on our contracts. But I love it here at Celtic and obviously want to stay. I think most of the players do want to stay but you just never know in football. Anything can happen. It would be good to keep this squad together and see what happens."
Brown was a relieved man after watching his team-mates cruise to victory.
Lennon's men are now 15 points clear of second-placed Motherwell with four league games remaining and Brown was happy to see Celtic get over the line. "It's a relief. I think it's always nervy toward the end," he said.
"You just want to get over the line, but the main thing is we've managed to do it and we've brought the title home."
Celtic's title challenge was strengthened by Rangers' demotion to the Third Division at the start of the season, but Brown pointed to their European exertions – where they reached the last 16 of the Champions League – as proof that they have not had an easy ride. "It's still been hard for us. We've had the Champions League during the week and then on to playing weekend games is hard," he added.
"We've been lucky enough Rangers weren't in the league but the main thing is we have won this league and it's been a great season. Hopefully we can stick together a long time. The lads are doing themselves proud week in week out.
"To bring something home for the fans, it means a lot for us."
Meanwhile, Hooper shrugged off speculation about his own future – having been the subject of repeated bids from Norwich City during the January transfer window – to state: "The main thing is celebrating this first and then look to the final on 26 May and win that to do the double.
"We've got a great squad, we've played really well and it showed in the Champions League and it showed today that we're really good at home and we can beat anyone."
Midfielder Kris Commons had the final word on Lennon: "Some people are born natural leaders," said the Scotland international. "He showed that as a captain on the pitch, and he's shown it now. He's a real gentleman, a pleasure to work with. I owe a lot to Neil, he's been terrific this year."

I had it all planned out. The list was safe and sound in my head. What a great idea – really, it was! Wait, what was I all excited about!
This happens to me a lot, especially during trips to the grocery store. I often forget my mental list while there. I wander up and down the isles. The baby enjoys riding in the cart and we don't have any reason to rush. I take a deep breath and try to remember. What am I doing here? What did I come here for?
I get home and I remember.
My husband suggests that I make a list of the items I would like to purchase while at the store. Maybe I would be able to complete a shopping trip successfully if all items where carefully listed and then checked off. Perhaps my husband would prefer to do the grocery shopping.
The thing is, I don't really mind that I forget. Sometimes it is helpful to not remember (like the hair I had in the 80's).
So, if you see me at the market wandering the aisles singing a song and smiling at my baby, I am just trying to remember my list but not really caring that I forgot.

He was born Thomas Charles Connors on February 9 1936 to the teenaged Isabel Connors and her boyfriend Thomas Sullivan. Upon the deaths of Isabel's mother and stepfather, the young family were left homeless and by the time Connors was three they were hitchhiking around the Maritime provinces in the east of the country.
Thomas was soon skilled as a street beggar, then lived with his mother and baby sister in jail for a short while before, at the age of eight, being taken into the care of Children's Aid. Placed with a foster family in Skinner's Pond, Prince Edward Island, he made numerous escape attempts. "It's damn hard to run away when you live on an island," he once told Country Music News. "All the Mounties had to do was wait at the boat for me to arrive in someone's car, on the back of a pickup or even walking." He was 13 years old when he finally succeeded in leaving care for good.
There followed a long period of travel and odd jobs: gravedigger, tobacco picker, short-order cook. He bought his first guitar at the age of 14, writing lyrics and picking up new songs , and falling in love with the sights and peoples of Canada.
"I learned that there are people from one end of the country to the other with grassroots history that they think can never be taken away from them," he recalled. "I'd go to radio stations, and sometimes they'd let me play a song or two on the air."
His break came in 1964, when he was five cents short on a 40-cent order at a hotel bar. The bartender eyed his guitar. "Do you sing with that thing, or do you just use it to carry your clothes?" Connors replied that he knew a few songs; in fact, he had about 2,300 committed to memory. His performance so impressed the owner, Pete Kotze, that he booked Connors for 14 months of performances. As word spread the hotel was soon packed with his followers, who hailed him "Stompin' Tom" for his habit of pounding the floor with his boots as he sang.
Connors's first single, Carolyne, was recorded in 1965, and his first album followed two years later. In 1970 he had a hit with Bud the Spud, peaking at No 26 in the country charts. From the beginning his work was charged with patriotic feeling, including titles such as The Canadian Lumberjack and The Old Atlantic Shore. His 1973 track, The Hockey Song, became an anthem for sporting fans across the nation: "Oh! The good old hockey game/Is the best game you can name/And the best game you can name/Is the good old Hockey game!"
He averaged an album a year until 1978, when he retired for a decade. In all he produced four dozen albums and more than 300 songs, selling nearly four million records. His autobiography, Stompin' Tom: Before the Fame (1995) became a bestseller.
Connors was named an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1996. His second autobiography, The Connors Tone, followed four years later. Several of his trademark "Stompin' boards" — pieces of plywood which he placed beneath his left foot while playing – have been auctioned off for charity, with one selling for $11, 000 in 2011.
Thomas Connors married, in w1973, Lena Welsh. She survives him with their four children.
Stompin' Tom Connors, born February 9 1936, died March 6 2013

Braving the threat of spring storms, about 60 people gathered Friday night at Burcham Park many of them homeless to take part in the third annual Homeless Sleepout.
Among them were T.R., 27, and his companion, Jen, 24, camping out of their 1979 Ford van. Neither wanted to give a last name.
"We were here last year," T.R. said.
He has been homeless for about 10 years and Jen for at least five years, they said. They brought their three dogs and drove down to the park to listen to music and eat.
Free food was available at the event. A rock band called Fling provided entertainment.
It was unclear exactly how many of those at the sleepout were homeless, said Melissa Cline, an event organizer.
"They're all intermingled," she said, of the dozens of campers, who had varying degrees of shelter and protection from the elements.
In addition to the homeless and event organizers, others from the neighborhood stopped to watch. Representatives from several Lawrence agencies that work with homeless people were on hand to present information about the issue.
The sleepout, part of Into the Streets awareness campaign, was sponsored by the Center for Community Outreach at Kansas University. Its purpose is to bring awareness to the homeless problem in Lawrence, Cline said.
As for T.R. and Jen, they plan to make their way to Oregon, where they hope to find employment as migrant farmworkers, they said.
"We're going up there as soon as we get enough money to fix the van so it can handle the mountains," T.R. said.
Despite some brief lightning in the distance, the sleepout was well under way at 10 p.m.
"We'll stay here until we have lightning or a tornado warning," Cline said.
Douglas County was under a high wind warning until 3 a.m. today.
Into the Street activities continue into next week.

The Place above the River
Kate Northrop
The house is empty now and girls go in.
They rise through evenings in the summer.
Across the river, music begins:
Love, it's summer. The closed homes open.
The docks are decked with lights. But farther,
the house is empty and girls go in
to light their lovely cigarettes; they listen
closely to the woods. Leaves? A slowing car?
Across the river, music begins
where wives are beautiful still, and thin
(in closets their dresses hang, sheer as scarves)
while the house is empty and the girls go in,
shimmering, to swallow vodka, or gin,
which burn, and to lean from where the windows were.
Across the river, music begins
and will part waves of air. Now. Then.
The season's a criminal, strict and clear.
The house is empty. Girls go in.
Across the river, music begins.

When someone says that things of nature or beings of nature Carrie energy's that help your earth form wouldn't you say they are going insane and only a man of the lord could do that? Or would you say im correct and its possible with strength. And why would you say this?
Superblank 22-25, M 4 Answers 2 Jun 20, 2012
I am having diffulculty understanding your question, but science has shown that there is an energy field. It is real and it is powerful.

My take on it: It is not "a" being. It is "being". From it you self-create and manifest your beliefs as your world.

Insane? No. It's testable to your own satisfaction. What is insane is the god of the bible.

'A man of the Lord could... 'help the earth form'? I'm not sure I understand the premise or the question, but I'd say this: In my animistic world view - every person, every indeed every creature, impacts the Earth and all of creation.
