Power Rangers: In SpaceClosed Captioning
Open iTunes to preview or buy TV shows.
When word reaches the remaining Power Rangers that their founder and mentor Zordon has been captured by a coalition of villains, the remaining Rangers journey into space aboard a NASADA space shuttle in the hopes of rescuing him. Deep in space, they discover the Astro Megaship, the mobile base of operations for Andros, a Power Ranger who grew up on the distant space colony of KO-35. Joining forces, they draw power from their new Astro Morphers to take their fight against evil anywhere necessary and to find Zordon before it's too late. Fighting a union of all their past villains led by the monstrous Dark Specter and his trusted captain Astronema, the Rangers are in for the biggest fight the universe has ever seen.

Meanwhile, Bulk & Skull seek to prove conclusively, without a single doubt, once and for all that aliens exist and are currently targeting Earth (and in the process become rich & famous).

JERUSALEM (Mar. 29)
Israeli-American relations are good, and cooperation between Israel and the United States is "very close," Mrs. Golda Meir, the Foreign Minister, today told the Knesset, Israel's Parliament, The recent mission here by W. Averell Harriman, President Johnson's special emissary, "contributed much to mutual understanding," she declared. She made those statements in the course of a wide-ranging report to Parliament, to which she presented her Ministry's annual budget.
As to other governments–aside from the U. S. A.–she said, there are both understandings and differences stemming perhaps from divergent opinion on how to attain the mutual purposes of Israel and those states which desire peace in this region. "Our views are not always the same in assessing the dangers," she stated. She added that Israel feels that greater pressures exerted against aggressiveness would prevent more aggression in this area.
In the Middle East, she affirmed, Israel favors full disarmament under mutual controls. But she urged the powers supplying Egypt's President Nasser with arms to consider the use to which he would make of those military resources. The Middle East remaining part of the cold war zone enables Nasser to resort to blackmail, she charged. Nasser, she said, is also responsible for the introduction of modern arms into the area, and he is "gambling" on conflicts in various countries to bolster his position.
She warned against the "false atmosphere of relaxation" the Arabs are trying to emphasize, "picturing such an atmosphere instead of revealing their real intentions toward Israel, whose extinction they now hope to achieve through long-term plans."
Stressing the Arab decision to form a "Palestine Liberation Organization," to be composed of Arab refugees "now living at the expense of the United Nations," she demanded that each refugee recruit to that army be struck from the relief rolls of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Agency.
The Israeli Foreign Minister urged nations to deter the Arab states from implementing their scheme to divert the headwaters of the Jordan River. That scheme, she said, is motivated only by the desire "to hurt Israel." "Israel," she stressed, "will never allow the sabotage of the Israel water project."
Regarding the "momentous change" in relations between Israel and West Germany, she said she hoped that all outstanding problems between the two countries would be resolved. She rejected the contention of some Israelis that establishment of diplomatic relations between Jerusalem and Bonn may "make Jews forget the deeds of the Nazis."
Mentioning the decision by Germany's Parliament to extend the statute of limitations for the prosecution of war criminals by only four and a half years, she said she was "particularly perturbed" by the German Parliament's proposal "to divide criminals into varying categories."
In the general area of Israel's relations with other governments, she stressed this country's "growing cooperation" with France, and greeted Britain's Labor Government, recalling that government's statements, promising to do all that is possible to preserve Israel's independence and to lessen tensions in this region.
As for the Soviet Union, she said that efforts to improve relations are continuing. She said that much progress has been made in the area of cultural relations between the USSR and Israel, and expressed the hope that this progress might be extended also to other spheres. She told the Knesset that "the supply of arms to those wishing to destroy Israel does not tally with the Soviet Union's declared policy of liking peace."
The Foreign Minister said the anti-Israel statement issued in Cairo by Walter Ulbricht, East Germany's chief of state, jointly with Nasser, "denied Israel's very right to exist." She deplored "this immoral East German step."

Revolutionizing Learning, Transforming Health
The University of Michigan Medical School Department of Learning Health Sciences is a basic science department focused on the sciences that make learning effective, routine, efficient and scalable. Learning is no longer seen as an activity with a single endpoint, but rather as the product of a virtuous cycle of continuous improvement that can become a culture unto itself. The work we do supports the science behind this cycle.
We are the first basic science department in the nation focused on the study and practice of learning not just by individuals, but for groups, organizations, regions, states and even entire nations. To support learning at these levels of scale, we engage a unique community of scientists with wide-ranging expertise, including biomedical informatics, behavior change, organizational change theory, systems science, quality and performance improvement methods, translational research, bioethics, educational assessment and evaluation, pedagogical innovation and clinical simulation.
As a department, we collaborate across disciplines to achieve three main goals:
Our research programs generate new knowledge that can enhance learning at all levels of scale;
Our educational programs train new researchers and practitioners who apply the sciences of learning;
Our service programs help health systems transform into learning health systems and advance health professions education.

Rice Says 'Jury Is Out' On North Korea
Condoleezza Rice (file photo) (AFP) 16 November 2005 -- U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice today said North Korea has not yet proved it is serious about the dismantling and verifying of its nuclear weapons program.
Rice made the remarks to reporters in the South Korean port city of Pusan on the edges of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, She said "the jury is out" on whether the North "is to get serious about dismantlement and verification measures."
Rice was speaking to reporters after meeting the other four parties involved in negotiations with North Korea, except for the communist state itself.
The six parties involved in the disarmament negotiations -- the two Koreas, the United States, Japan, Russia, and China -- broke for recess on 4 November after three days of talks in Beijing aimed at negotiating an end to Pyongyang's nuclear-weapons programs.

Deliverables: Product Launch, Direct Mail, Interactive Ad Campaign, Packaging
How a new product was introduced and succeeded against some serious odds.
Adobe introduced a new product, InDesign, directly competing with QuarkExpress — the standard in the advertising industry since the very advent of desktop publishing. How could all those Art Directors and Designers be persuaded to switch from something they've grown up with to something they didn't know at all?
We went to the source and targeted top influencers: the Executive Creative Directors of major agencies in the country. All 250 of them.
15% response. InDesign displaced almost completely QuarkExpress and is now the established industry standard for multipage graphics application. We also won some serious awards for this campaign.


text: [[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dreamweb_cover.png]] ''[=DreamWeb=]'' is a [[CyberPunk Cyberpunk]] [[TopDownView top down]] AdventureGame, developed by Creative Reality and published by Empire Interactive Entertainment. The game was released in 1994.Ryan, a bartender, can't get a good sleep for months. Haunted by nightmares and strange visions, he eventually dreams of a monk-like figure telling him about seven evil people who, united, will destroy the eponymous Dreamweb, and send the mankind spiralling into chaos.Descending into paranoia and just wanting dreams to stop, Ryan accepts the mission, then wakes up in a puddle of cold sweat, next to his beloved girlfriend in her house, and late for work. Again.The game is now free, and can be downloaded [[http://www.scummvm.org/games/#dreamweb here]].!!Provides examples of:* [[AllThereInTheManual/VideoGames All There In The Manual]]: The game originally came with the "Diary of a (Mad?) Man", which greatly fleshed out the main character, his mental problems, and the world he lives in. In fact, the story of the diary is far more detailed than the game itself; it also features a progressive rendering of symbol seen in dreams, [[spoiler: necessary to unlock one of the final doors]]. * [[AntiHero Anti-hero]]: Ryan himself.* BolivianArmyEnding[=/=]DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Ryan succeeds in his quest, but gets shot by the police.]]* ComputerEqualsMonitor: [[spoiler: A security computer gets disabled/destroyed by shooting the screen.]]* CoolShades: Ryan has to put some shades on to obscure his identity after he is wanted for murder.* CyberpunkWithAChanceOfRain* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's never been clear if the whole adventure was real, or if Ryan was just hallucinating and just killing random people.* OurGraphicsWillSuckInTheFuture: Home computers have no graphics at all. The user is stuck with a clumsy DOS-like interface to access everything from his e-mails to fetching the latest news broadcast (which consists of text, too, of course). * PixelHunt: The game window is rather small, with a secondary window which shows a magnification of whatever's below the cursor. Giving the trope a whole new level.* TheLawOfConservationOfDetail: Averted - there's plenty of items a player can take, but most of them are useless, and would just clutter their inventory. (things like plates, cups, lighters, and so on)* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: At some point Ryan just foregoes subtlety and starts shooting most of his problems with his plasma pistol. In fairness, that tends to solve the problem, but it obviously leaves a big mess behind that ends up drawing lots of unwanted attention.

What Is Positioning?
If there's a marketing term that gets thrown around more than any other, it's "positioning." I can't imagine a marketing plan out there that doesn't include it, multiple times. But it's been used and abused so widely, by so many, for so long that it's likely many people can't really articulate what it means or why it's important.…Read More

A deputy was nearly killed while enforcing "move over" statute meant to keep him safe.
The noise must have startled Sarasota County Sheriff's deputy Chris Butler about as much as it is possible to be startled.
The very experienced deputy had just stopped next to Interstate 75 and opened his SUV patrol car's driver-side door Sunday afternoon when a Cadillac going by at highway speed hit his open door.
The impact slammed his door open all the way, and then some, pounding it so hard into the front fender that all of the patrol car's air bags deployed, each with their own explosions of sound and smoke.
Butler wasn't injured, aside from some air-bag related soreness, it seems. That's a really good thing. I'm very glad Butler wasn't quite already getting out of the car at the time.
He is still around and now has a chance to ponder the irony of that brush with death. Here it is: Butler was in harm's way inches from passing traffic because he was on a special detail enforcing Florida's move-over law. That law is all about keeping cops and other emergency workers — and anyone who is there with them — as safe as possible when stopped on the roadside.
Yes, Butler had just stopped a driver for a move-over violation. As it turned out, stopping a man to write him a ticket endangered both of them, and flying debris from the smashed patrol car's door hit the car Butler had stopped.
The driver of the car Butler had stopped hadn't done anything crazy. He was being ticketed for not changing lanes or slowing down — not enough, anyway — while passing a law enforcement car that was stopped on the roadside with blue lights flashing. Failing to change lanes away from a stopped police car if possible, or failing to slow to 20 mph below the highway's speed limit, is a violation of Florida law.
I argued in a column two days ago that this feel-good law actually puts those on the roadside at more risk. Some passing drivers overreact when they suddenly realize they are going too fast and might get a ticket. They then think less of safety and more of avoiding a fine and swerve or brake too sharply. That can cause other drivers to dodge them by going near or onto the road shoulder, exactly what we are trying to avoid.
But Butler's experience shows yet another anti-safety factor: The law creates one more reason officers and others will be stopping in harm's way on the roadside. Sarasota County deputies alone wrote 182 move-over tickets last year, and 131 so far this year.
On Sunday, the 77-year-old driver of the Cadillac that hit the deputy's door just kept driving. When stopped later, he said he had been unaware of the impact.
Whatever the truth of that — he was charged with leaving the scene of an accident and a couple of other things — he seems to have been less than alert, at best. The incident will not be grounds for awarding him a Safe Driver award.
Even so, I'd say Deputy Butler probably did just as much to cause the accident. Pictures show his SUV parked so close to the traffic lane that opening the door would have put it into the lane.
Yes, the Cadillac driver should have edged away from the shoulder — law or no law. But there was no apparent reason for the deputy to park so close to the lane, or to open his door just as a car was passing.
If the Cadillac driver actually swerved out of the traffic lane to hit that door, then I take it back.
But even if so, why park so close to the traffic? Why trust that everyone will perceive the situation in time and steer clear?
Those who think cops should never be faulted need not worry. The 77-year-old Cadillac driver is the only one being charged or blamed.
But the sheriff should take note that the alleged aim of roadside safety seems bogus if the focus is only on move-over enforcement and making drivers aware of the law.
No one wants to hit a cop or a cop's car. But law or no law, some drivers mess up. Law officers should move over, too, and get as far from traffic lanes as possible.
Driving safely or not, failing to follow the letter of the law can mean you, too, will soon be stopped on the roadside where you, and a law officer, will then be taking your chances.
But no matter why you are stopped, I suggest you stop well off the road, even if the law officer behind you chooses not to.
He may not be as safety-conscious as you are.

My Sweet Persephone Picture
They have taken her from me. Sweet Persephone. I am absent of anger, yet already missing that which I do not own. She is frail and young, and has far too much to learn. I feel I am doomed to watch her grow and prosper while I wither away beneath, reaching empty hands heavenward to brush if only the hem of her robes. Sweet Persephone; sweet, sweet girl.
She made me feel a warmth I have never felt; a comfort I have never seen nor experienced. I was content before to bask in my absence and misery. It was a cold but safe place for me, but now - I have tasted such sweet poison as that of a smile, a laugh, and a light I have never known. I want to possess it, keep it, and protect it. Nothing shall harm her as long as I am watching. Nothing shall touch her virgin skin.
Persephone, may I watch you from afar, in your blissful agony, and await the day you will be mine again, if only for a moment.
-"Part 1: Hades and Persephone"
Old art from 2011
My concept of Hades started back in 2009 after I had this crazy vivid dream about him. The version I draw now isn't much different from the badass fella in my dream (he had gray wings that melted away like wet cement or something idk my brain does weird things) but it certainly inspired a tragic love story after I did an illustration of Perspephone and Hades to celebrate my dream lol.
I wrote some weird, short "journal" type entries from Hades' perspective. Apparently my version of him is this depressing, poetic, solemn guy who doesn't really know how to express any of his thoughts other than frowny skull face. Anyways, in my personal conception of the greek mythology legend Perspephone first is brought to his realm as a young girl, and stays for six months, then leaves, and repeats this process for a few seasons until she gets wholly upset and he tells her she does not have to come back. She doesn't come back for many years, and Hades is sad (boohoo) but then decides on her own to return at age 15 and he's like wowow you look really pretty but I'm still saaadd because it's depressing here in my gray kingdom
I just might post the few journal entries I wrote in whole, just because I doubt they'll ever get shared otherwise.

Jerry Lewis Cinema
3230 Yorba Linda Blvd., Fullerton, CA.
Operators: Jerry Lewis Mini Cinemas
Status: Demolished
Opened: 12/10/71
Closed: Circa 1976
Current Use:
Screens: 1
Seating: Slope
The Jerry Lewis was one of the first theatres in the ill conceived Jerry Lewis Cinema chain and, much like it's parent company, this venue had a short, disappointing run.
In 1969, entertainer Jerry Lewis had partnered with the Network Cinema Corporation to form a theatre chain that offered "mini cinema" franchises. The concept involved franchising small (1-3 auditoriums, 100-350 seats) theatres to anyone who could put up an initial investment of $50,000. The company promised a design and business model that would practically run itself; thus, drawing in a large number of inexperienced, would-be theatre moguls (190 sites at the company's peak).
Promotional materials of the time touted "mini cinemas" as having fully automated projection, luxurious decor, and the backing of Mr. Lewis' vast experience in the entertainment industry; calling for as little as two workers to run a successful theatre. A caveat to operating one of these "modern wonders" was the requirement that only family oriented programming be shown.
Ultimately, the "mini cinemas" proved far less fool proof than advertised and the venues began to fold almost as quickly as they had opened. By 1980, the chain was defunct and the company had filed for bankruptcy.
The Yorba Linda Jerry Lewis opened in December 1971 with "Tora! Tora! Tora!" and a grand opening ceremony attended by Debbie Reynolds and Glen Ford. Both Reynolds and Ford were reported to have left their hand/footprints in commemorative concrete tiles outside the theatre. However, within five years, this theatre had gone under and the site was quickly converted to retail.

I hope everyone enjoyed time with their families eating wonderfully big yummy meals! I know I sure did! With that came the start of Christmas decorating. I always like to start in the house before getting the tree. It just seems a little more relaxing once the tree gets here and that is the ONLY thing left to decorate. And if your kids are anything like me, everything is out of the boxes and bins within……10 minutes. Which seems to make it easier to start putting stuff where you want them. Here is what we did around the house….
My mini helper waiting for a ride in the sleigh!
The new mantel is quickly put to use! Nothing says a cozy Christmas like a decorated mantel with lights and a red cozy blanket.
I love adding a mirror on the walls to be able to add a wreath. I use either a over-the-door hook or a 3m hook on the glass to hang a beautiful full wreath.
Candle sticks and lights. I had to add a few small books to add height to some of the smaller pieces.
This old shutter is ready for Christmas cards! It's green and chippy and can hold a lot of cards and I just love it! One of my favorite pieces in the house.
My little Christmas made over coffee station. Complete with a Santa sign and Santa himself.
Adding a little greenery along with the Baby's 1st Christmas sign I made last year. You can find it here.
Dried green hydrangeas fit anywhere anytime of year.
Now onto the rest of the porch. The hubby got the electrical finished on the porch, so here come LOTS of lights and other décor!

There are a lot of questions I get asked about foster care and homeschooling. One of the biggest one is how do you balance home school and foster care? My answer, very carefully!
I started homeschooling Robby from the beginning for many reasons. We knew a few homeschooling families and was very impressed of how well-adjusted to life these kids where. We wanted our kids to reflect that. When I stopped working, it opened the door of the possibility of homeschooling.
Robby also had some "pooping" issues when he was younger and made that "K" year very hard, so it also worked to keep him home. As we continued we started to develop a home school mind. When we started fostering, we started with babies. We wanted to stay younger than Robby and this worked. While I only had two kids I kept our foster babies home.
When I got up to three kids, I enrolled my two little ones in our churches child care center two mornings a week. I needed some time to do some time with Robby (like speech therapy) and it was easier with out the little ones. Also when I had Dr. appointments or a meeting at DHR, I could make arrangements for my little ones to be at the center.
It wasn't until Jeremy moved in with us in his 7th grade year that I had to enter into a public school. We loved his teaches and counselors there! They bent over backwards for us. Up until then, Jeremy really hadn't been to school, just bits of school. At this time, I really didn't think about homeschooling him. Our days were balanced. I enjoyed our after school talks we had every day over a potpie.
When he was in 8th grade (still in foster care) I asked to home school him. We were having some problems and I knew that if we could get home, it may help. Our other option was private school. We looked into one just before his 9th grade, but he was trying to live a normal life and wanted to go to normal high school. In 10th grade he went two days and came home and asked if he could be home schooled. I told him try one more day. My husband felt it would be better for him to be home schooled, and here we are today. They key with Jeremy was we knew we were adopting him when we asked to home school him while he was in foster care.
A year ago we had a bright 9-year-old move in with us. He was in 3rd grade and that was our first exposure to the elementary schools. And our first taste in balancing foster care with home school. And it was not easy. We are done with homeschooling in the morning, early afternoon. At night we don't have homework. But Brandle was coming home with homework and the last thing he wanted to do was homework. He would rather play with Robby. So I started doing some of Robby's work in the evenings doing homework time, to help balance things out.
Doing the summer, we picked up foster care of one of Brandle's younger brothers. He had many behavior problems and lots of needs. He was going into K the same as my little girl. It was at that moment that I had to make a choice, and measure how much I can handle. Since AnnieQ was my social butterfly, we decided to send her to K along with Michael. We asked Robby if he wanted to go, but he said he was a homeschooling boy and he was staying that way. So our year began with two older boys being home schooled, three in the local elementary school and one in morning PreK.
After the boys left at Thanksgiving we decided to keep AnnieQ in school. She had a great teacher and I felt she was in a good place for this year.
So what have I learned from all this.
- If you are totally against public schools, then don't foster care school age kids.
- Make sure you have good communication with the teachers. They are part of the team working with this child.
- Having a homeschooling schedule and a public school schedule is hard. Have good calendar skills. You will need them.
- Homeschooling and having some in public school make it hard to do all the extra volunteer extras stuff that I wanted to do.
- There are many forms to fill out and beware of the fundraising.
- If you have ESP meetings (Special education meetings-education service plans) know your rights, and don't feel afraid to ask questions. This is a HUGE team effort involving you, the school, DHR, the parents (if they are involved) and anyone else who may be involved.
- The public school kids get jealous of the field trips the home school kids are taking.
- Have regular contact with teacher, either through notes, email, or phone calls.
- I didn't use the bus until after the boys lefts. My littlest one then was too active to use the bus. But use the bus when you can. It helps with schedules, and all the crazy deriving around you must do!
- Be organized with clothes for the week.
- Create a landing spot and files for all the papers that going to come in. I would send school work in a folder now and then to a visit so the parents could see.
- It takes a few weeks to get into the swing of things.
- You don't have to do everything that comes your way.
- You are not super mom. Stop trying to be. (yep yep had to keep learning that one over and over again!)
Foster care and home schooling are possible. It just takes a lot of work. Know your family and what will work for them.
Why didn't I home school them? First, I knew the goal was to get them back with their family. So I needed them to be in school to keep that part stable and "normal." Also, I personal needed that break from the littlest one! Loved him dearly, but was emotionally drained ever day. When I went to pick him up everyday I was happy to see him! Foster children come with a whole different set of issues that your children do not have. Knowing your limits is key!

I just got back from a camping trip, there were no interesting guys around there so I'm all horny but we dont get there yet. I come home and I need to pee, but after passing the treshold I start watching myself in a mirror and I get horny, I start touching myself over the denim shorts I'm wearing, grabing my tits also. Right after I take my t-shirt off somebody knocks the door, I open it and while talking to my neighbor (roleplay) I cant hold my pee back anymore so I let it fill my shorts, going down my legs, telling her everything's ok. After she leaves I finish peeing in my shorts and I also let some poop out, messing the white panties I got on. Im gonnna use the bathroom to poop but I dont whipe before pulling my shorts back on and I get back in my bedroom to satisfy my lustful ass by fucking it hard with a natural looking dildo.

This 6,885-acre area lies in the western end of Meigs County and extends southward into Gallia County, to near the village of Cheshire. Many county and township roads pass through this area and provide direct access to almost all of the area. This area is situated in the hilly unglaciated Allegheny Plateau and consists primarily of rounded ridges, steep slopes, and narrow ravines. Numerous old fields reverting to forest are intermixed with woods which are generally second and third growth timber. Oak and hickory dominate the ridges and upper slopes. Tulip, poplar, beech, maple, and red oak are frequent lowland and ravine tree species
The most productive areas for grouse are along the woodland edges of the many naturally reverting fields. Among the better areas to hunt deer are the woods recently harvested for pulpwood, which provide an abundance of food and cover, 5 to 10 years after cutting. Squirrel hunting is good in the more mature woods, which are generally confined to the steeper slopes and narrow valleys. Rabbits can be found along brushy woodland borders and in old fields.
Raccoon hunting is generally good throughout the area. Beaver trapping may be permitted to remove problem beaver, but only with special permission from AEP. The Division of Wildlife enforces all state laws on these lands, including hunting and fishing regulations. Enforcement priorities include prohibiting littering, off-road vehicle use, and timber theft and destruction.
A free permit is required to use this area. Permits can be obtained here. or by calling 1.800.WILDLIFE

It's getting close to a year since Carolyn and I moved into our old "new" home. With our daughter now out of the house, we took that empty nest step of downsizing into a small midcentury San Mateo classic: an Eichler which fortunately had been more a victim of benign neglect than the ravages of 1970-80s remodeling. We still have that Judy Jetson stove, the walls of glass, and while the wood panel walls have sadly been painted (and way beyond stripping) at least no one sprayed popcorn on the ceilings.
Something we love about this house's design, just how much the outside is part of the inside. Most of the living space has floor-to-ceiling glass walls and doors to the side yard, and the remaining rooms pretty much all have windows to the back yard. We long ago gave up thinking we'd ever live someplace with real property around it (ancient gnarled trees, a creek, rolling hillside crossed with trails — don't get me started), but with Carolyn's considerable brains about growing stuff combined with my somewhat failing brawn, we have really enjoyed transforming the junky postage stamp property into a bit of a mini nature preserve.
These past ten days, we've identified the following nineteen bird species in our little suburban refuge:
1. Purple Finch
2. House Finch
3. House Sparrow
4. Song Sparrow
5. White-crowned Sparrow
6. American Goldfinch
7. Lesser Goldfinch
8. Bewick's Wren
9. Dark-eyed Junco
10. Chestnut-backed Chickadee
11. Plain Titmouse
12. California Towhee
13. Anna's Hummingbird
14. Allen's Hummingbird
15. Cedar Waxwing
16. Nuttall's Woodpecker
17. Scrub Jay
18. Mourning Dove
19. Cooper's Hawk
The Cooper's Hawk is, of course, as attracted to the birds as we are, but despite his culinary tastes it has been remarkable to watch him land on the fence, alert to what's around him in ways we really can't fully understand. The chaotic nattering of the others, some flying solo and others in small flocks, is turned off suddenly and uniformly as if by a switch, the prey recognizing the approaching predator crucial seconds before we do. We've yet to see him be successful, but his daily return must mean that he sees our yard as a take-out restaurant, and perhaps he too appreciates the varied selection.
Wonderfully, the little Bewick's Wren (#8 on my anal retentive list) has taken up residence in a small wooden birdhouse on the back fence. After a few days of quick trips with twigs, leaves, and some bits of our dogs' hair floating about from a recent brushing, we no longer see him or her but are pretty sure we are hearing her (or his) bursts of song, appropriately described in the literature with such adjectives as "varied", "melodious", and "loud."
Not sure about the gender, because while the female (as with most) builds the real nest, male Bewick's Wrens build "dummy nests" to attract females, dissuade other males, or maybe just for the joy of building. Those who pretend to fully understand nature are those inevitably fooled by it, and we're perfectly happy to just let the several possibilities play out and hopefully learn some more along the way.
So while we're not completely sure what's going on inside that box, we're delighted to have this spider-and-bug-eating bird looking to expand in our 'hood, with 3-8 eggs on average.
Lots of wonderful guides and of course websites for helping to id who's flying about your yard. One of my favorites is the Cornell Ornithology Lab, which offers the following "fun fact" about Bewick's Wrens: "The male learns its song while still on the parents' territory. It learns the song not from its father, but rather from the neighboring territorial males. The song repertoire developed before the first winter is retained for life."
So while no African photo safaris or Galapagos expeditions are in the plans for this Summer, we are grateful for what and who we can enjoy at home.

Bloomberg reports Treasuries Approach Record Low After Note Auction
Treasury 10-year note yields approached all-time lows after the U.S. sold $21 billion of the securities at a record rate and minutes from the Federal Reserve's last meeting showed some members favor more stimulus.
The auction attracted record high demand from a group of investors that include pension funds and insurance companies. The notes drew a yield of 1.459 percent, compared with a forecast of 1.518 percent in a Bloomberg News survey of seven of the Fed's 21 primary dealers. The previous record low auction yield of 1.622 percent was set last month.

Simulated therapy training. Apps that monitor behavior and stand-in therapy. Vast streams of data shaped into undeniable patterns. According to a report by psychologists on the cutting edge of technology development, these could be familiar practice adds in the not-distant future.
Jason Satterfield, PhD, director of behavioral medicine UCSF Medical Center spoke of how hi-tech training could help equip clinicians to help meet the demands of truly integrated behavioral health care, otherwise known as the patient-centered medical home.
"The average primary care physician has a panel of 2,500 patients … [and] would need to work 21.7 hours per day just to do [treatments], and 7.4 hours per day for prevention, to deliver best standards of care," he said. Meanwhile, 70 percent of of health care expenditures are due to chronic illness, and one in four of those patients will have diagnosable mental illness.
Newer tools may help clinicians to treat more people more efficiently and effectively. These include social networking using podcasts and online discussion panels, MOOCs (massive open online courses), and e-mentoring and supervision. "Smart care" tools might remind clinicians when it's time to do a test or when a patient's record indicates an intervention. Actors could play patients in simulated online scenarios.
To further help access, "extender and augmenter" apps can that help boost the lessons of cognitive behavioral therapy between sessions. For example, one mobile phone app called Addiction CHESS, currently in development, helps people in recovery for substance abuse, buzzing if they're approaching a behavioral trigger and delivering appropriate messages. There's also a "panic button" to call for help and therapists after hours.
That said, "There are lots of studies on digital health and ehealth tools, but if you build it, it doesn't mean people will use it. Folks are too overwhelmed; there are too many choices and too many things to do. As psychologists we need to think about motivation," Satterfield said.
One way may be through gamification of virtual therapy. People get drawn into games because they're tapping into the psychology of motivation and rewards, like badges and scores, limiting play time and setting challenges just above your level of ability to add just enough fun.
"What if we had our training programs set up that way? Not to make light of them, but if they were fun and easy to use, and where people were bored and could take out a pad and do their CBT exercises — how awesome would that be?" he said.
Assessment is critical to helping clinicians and supervisors of care managers make decisions, but can take up much of the time they have with patients, said Patricia Areán, PhD, of the University of Washington.
"We don't know how our patient is doing until they walk into our office, and [sometimes] don't even see patients once a week. We also have to rely on self report, which is guided by how person feels that day," she said. "What if we could capture all of this information before you see your patient? Data collected in real time and presented in a really efficient way gives us the time to do treatments we need to do to make our patients feel better."
Mobile phones and wearables may be the vehicles. Smartphone apps can give clinicians clues as to how patients are faring by collecting activity and social data, listening for voice data and changes, looking for typing errors and giving quick mood surveys or memory tests, and being on the lookout for texts and emails that get no response. Plus, they could help reach groups that currently lack access; minorities use mobile health apps more than Caucasians, according to Pew surveys, she said. Wearable sensors have grown 110 percent since 2011, and older adults are more likely to use these devices than any other demographic.
"It's a combination of data points that will really come up with a signal for people on whether they are really doing better or worse," Areán said.
All of this personal and public health data and electronic health records are generating enormous amounts of useful information, said Kari Stephens, PhD, who teaches biomedical informatics at the University of Washington, but the challenge lies in " getting this data wrangled and unburying ourselves," she said.
Government and other groups are spending millions of dollars to create information-sharing networks that have great value for behavioral scientists, she said, including the National Institutes of Health BD2K (big-data-to-knowledge) project, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute's clinical data repository network, the research-focused NIH Collaboratory, and the FDA's Mini-Sentinel, which monitors the safety of medical products.
"Big data is correlational, not causal. … and messy and that's OK, as long it's mediated by human interpretation," she said. "Lots of reporting pieces can help us figure out how behavioral health specialists are supporting evidence-based care. Imaging mapping a patient to providers to see how well each provider consults across a team. We also need to be thinking out of the box when we pioneer new ways to do research" with data.
Other big data boons on the horizon: cloud services, actigraphy, consumer data clouds, genomic profiling, and discovering new neurocognitive measures. Psychologists are integral to designing and implementing these tools, and supervising real world change in practice and policy, she said.

Gearbox Will Deliver Two New IPs For Next-Gen Consoles
They produced one of the best new IPs of the current generation. Who's betting they can do it again in the near future? I've got faith.
Gearbox Software, the developer that brought you the esteemed Borderlands titles, has revealed that they've got a couple new IPs in the works for next-gen consoles. Studio boss Randy Pitchford said as much during a PAX Prime panel.
He also got people laughing by asking- "Should we announce Borderlands 3?" We're all assuming that series will continue, but what of these new IPs? One of them may be Brothers in Arms: Furious Four, which isn't technically a brand new IP, but Gearbox has been busy remaking the entire game from scratch (or so we've heard). But if that project isn't included in this announcement, we can expect even more goodness from the Borderlands boys.
Personally, I'd like them to try their hand at something that isn't a shooter. Stretch your wings a bit, Gearbox!

Which is actually a rebranded game.
The story is: Some of the people who created Homeworld left Relic and started up their own studio Blackbird Interactive, to work on a spiritual successor to Homeworld. This game was Hardware: Shipbreaker. Ever since Gearbox bought the rights to HW, they have been working with Blackbird on giving them the chance to turn this spiritual successor into a full blown HW entry.
I hope it is good. HW is the single best space-RTS game ever created. The gameplay mechanics were exceptionally grounded. The story was amazing. The graphics were above par at their time, they even still stand up well today, I can't wait for HW HD.

all he would say was it will be something very different to what his studios known for, and also something no one has really done before.
coming from anyone else id be both excited and intrigued.
but coming from this two faced mongrel, well.........
this IS the guy who spouted so much humility and excitement about how privileged his team is to be given the aliens, and duke nukem franchises.
and we all know how those turned out...........

Your Guide to Writing, Promoting and Using White Papers for Business
This is a guest post by Daniel Waas of White Paper Depot.
Whitepapers are one of the most effective lead generation tools available in B2B Marketing (Marketers named it #2 in the recent B2B Barometer Report). But even the most well-crafted whitepaper will fail to meet your expectations if your distribution strategy is putting the content on your website, waiting and hoping for the best.
To make the time you have invested into creating a compelling whitepaper pay off, you'll need to get the word out.
Listening to the buzz you might think social media is your best bet, but from my own experience traditional, boring email will outperform social media in most cases.
The only downside: while social promotion is predominantly a time investment, successful email campaigns will require a sizeable budget.
The reason you'll need that budget is your target email list. Unless you own a large subscriber base you will have to rent contacts. The options available are:
1. Newsletter ads – a banner or text ad in a third-party newsletter
2. List rental – a partner sends your creative to their own subscriber base for a CPM
(Stay away from purchasing lists unless you want to end up on a blacklist)
3. Cost-per-lead partnerships – a partner sends your copy in their design for a cost-per-lead
No matter what option you chose to go with, the deciding factor is always list quality. Make sure you know who your target audience is, then identify a matching list. A very good source for researching lists is edithroman.com. I'd recommend department, industry and job title as the primary criteria to use to find a match.
Make sure you rent a true subscriber list, where the opt-ins are from a single source. Stay away from compiled lists, where the names have been collected from directories.
Instead of buying one larger list, try to hedge your bets by going with three different lists at smaller recipient numbers. Instead of renting one list with 30,000 subscribers, go with three lists of 10,000 recipients each. That way it'll be more likely that you find a list that works well for you.
The Email List Price Index will give you a good idea of the budget involved to get your email campaign off the ground.
If you want to learn more, check out the various ClickZ articles by Jeanne Jennings. Jeanne is a great resource on all things email marketing and I wholeheartedly recommend her. She's also a speaker, so if you get the chance it'll be well worth your time.
With choosing your list(s) you have already made the critical decision and laid the foundation for your success. The next important factors are your offer, your subject line and the email itself. I assume you'll be marketing a whitepaper, so let's go straight to the subject line.
Anatomy of a killer email subject line
• Use lower-case letters as that feels less like blatant advertising
• Avoid spam words like Free, cheap, $$$, etc.
• Use active, actionable language (i.e. verbs)
• State clearly what is in it for them
• Get to the point quickly
• Test, test, test
Here are two good articles on the subject (no pun intended) from Copyblogger and Todd Bates.
Create Emails that sell
Now that you have the attention of the reader you need to create an email that sells the whitepaper. Here are the tips to apply:
• Keep it short
Avoid paragraphs longer than three lines. Promotional emails are scanned, not read.
• Get to the point
Make sure your intro paragraph gets to the point immediately. Tell the readers what's in it for them.
• Use bullet lists
The eye loves bullets. They get read. Put juicy benefits in the bullets. Bullet 1 should be the juiciest, bullet 5 the second most juiciest
• Include a hero image
An appealing hero image of the whitepaper will get more clicks. Read this post on 'How to create stunning whitepaper hero images.'
• Use image captions
Image captions are one of the most-read parts of emails & websites. Make use of them
• Make everything clickable
Readers click on a whim. Make sure there's a link behind where they click
• Focus on one call-to-action
"Download now" or "Download the Whitepaper" should do nicely
• Make the call-to-action a button
There should be no doubt that this is where the reader is supposed to click
• Use a PS line
Everyone reads the PS. Use it wisely
Now that your email marketing prowess has driven boatloads of potential customers to your website you are now faced with converting them. Here's how:
• Have a dedicated landingpage
Your landingpage should be clutter-free and promote only the whitepaper
• Reduce navigation
Avoid users getting distracted by reducing the navigation elements to just a logo taking them back to your main site
• Have a prominent headline
A bold headline that reiterates parts of the subject line tells users they've come to the right place and reduces bounce rates
• Repeat the hero image
Serves the same purpose: A visual clue that this is what they came for
• Restate the benefits
Use the copy and another bullet lists to restate the benefits in slightly different terms
• Offer a preview
Allowing users to preview a shortened version of your whitepaper helps get them sold. Think Amazon's 'Look inside'
• Have a big call-to-action
Another 'Download now' on a big button
• Keep the form short
You will likely want to collect lead information. Make sure you only ask for data you absolutely can't do without!
• Give the form some love
The form is the critical piece of the landingpage. Make sure form field validation rules are reasonable, error messages are easy to understand and that the overall form looks nice.
Alright, you've done your bit. Provided your whitepaper is any good you will now see the leads roll in. See the table to the right for a (conservative) calculation of likely outcomes of a $4,000 investment.
In summary:
1. Rent the right list
2. Create a killer subject line and matching creative
3. Build a high-converting landingpage
What is you experience with promoting whitepapers? Is email the most effective channel for you as well? How is lead generation through social channels working for you?
I'd love to discuss in the comments below. Feel invited 🙂

Zsuzsa Koncz - Margarita
English > Adaptations > Music > Pop music > Zsuzsa Koncz > Margarita
Zsuzsa Koncz
Zsuzsa Koncz (°1946) is an Hungarian singer, born in Pély. Her singing career started in 1962 with the band Omega and includes rock, folk, country, pop and chanson. Since the second half of the sixties she performed with the band Illés, and with this band she recorded her first 5 albums. In the eighties she was accompanied by the band Fonograf. In the German speaking world she's also known as Shusha Koncz and Jana Koncz.
Zsuzsa Koncz was never impressed by commercial or political pressure. She was very popular and did not hesitate to sing about politically sensitive themes - sometimes in a hidden way. In 1983 she recorded Karpathyek Lany (The Girl And The Village), about the tragical events during the Hungarian Revolution in 1956. Her work got many awards in Hungary, and in France she received the highest possible decoration: l'Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur.
On May 1, 2004 she appeared on stage for the concert A Celebration for Everybody in Zittau in Germany, to celebrate the first day of the European Union membership of Hungary and nine other countries.
In 1972 Zsuzsa Koncz recorded the song Margarita, written by Illés Lajos and Bródy János, on her album Élünk és meghalunk. At that time, Hungary belonged to the Eastern Block and it was not obvious to publicly out criticism to the system. The text describes Margarita appearing at the ball of Messire (Woland).

Sanbornton voters pepper town candidates with lots of questions
- Published in Local News
SANBORNTON — A standing-room-only crowd at the Sanbornton Public Library on Friday night peppered the two candidates for selectmen and three of the four candidates for the Budget Committee with questions as far ranging as their opinion on privatizing roads to potential time conflicts for serving.
Seeking the one seat available for a three-year term as selectman are Jeffrey Jenkins and Johnny VanTassel. Incumbent Guy Giunta is not seeking re-election.
Seeking seats on the Budget Committee are incumbent Judy Burlingame Rich (who wasn't there), incumbent Roger Grey, Ralph Rathjen and Mitch Lewis. Rathjen serves on the Transportation Privatization Committee and Lewis serves on the Capital Improvement Committee.
Some of Friday's debate centered on whether or not Jenkins (who vacations in Florida in winter) and VanTassel (who manages the Northfield Public Works Department) would be available when townspeople need them.
The topic arose when retired Town Finance Director Curt McGee mentioned that of the nine meetings that the Privatization Committee has had, VanTassel has only made the first two.
"How's he going to make a 4:30 p.m. selectmen's meeting?" McGee asked.
VanTassel responded by saying he was never meant to stay on that committee and had only agreed to advise it until a director or interim director was named, which the town has done.
"I could be able to make 4:30 p.m. meetings," VanTassel said, adding he believed that many people would like to go to Sanbornton's selectmen's meetings but are working. "I would think a little later would be better."
He also noted that if it was the middle of a snowstorm and he was plowing, then there was a good chance the town offices would be closed and there would likely be no meeting.
Gail Morrison, who is a candidate for Trustee of the Trust Fund, posed the same question to Jenkins, who vacations in Florida during the winter.
"Over the past few years this has kept me from stepping up," Jenkins said. He said state laws have changed regarding electronic communications and his cell phone is available to all. "Obama takes a vacation. I plan on taking a vacation."
Jenkins said there may be times when he appeared by computer (Skype), but guaranteed his attendance would be better than that of some selectmen who has served the town in the past.
As to privatizing the road responsibilities of the town, Jenkins said he is serving on the committee and said any decision is about a year away at the earliest. He said his research has shown that the 10 New England towns that had been identified as having private highway departments was misleading because those 10 towns had never had highway departments.
He also said the committee has never found a town that once it had a town-operated highway department returned to a private one.
Jenkins said he didn't yet have enough information about it and was uncommitted about what he would recommend.
VanTassel, who was the Sanbornton highway superintendent before leaving for Northfield, said that while the study being done is a good study, he really doesn't see Sanbornton's entire operation going private.
"I think (the study) will make for a better highway department," he said, noting that many of the things done by many municipal highway department are already private.
VanTassel also noted internal control can often make for a better product. Responding to an earlier observation from an audience member who complained that last summer's mowing was not very good, VanTassel said that in 2012 the department did it in such a way that certain brush would die back during the next year and make it easier and cheaper in 2013.
When the town instead subcontracted the work in 2013, he said it may have saved a little money but the quality of the work was not as good as when the town crews had done the moving the year before.
Rathjen said he realizes the entire DPW budget is $1.5-million (it includes the transfer station as well ) and that at most the town would only be able to privatized between $550,000 to $750,000 of the work anyway.
He said it was "premature" for townspeople to expect a $400,000 annual savings — a number that was thrown out by current Budget committee member Earl Leighton when he asked the candidates about it.
"We could come up with a situation where it could cost more," he said.
The other major point of discussion was the 2½ percent raise that was accepted by the Board of Selectmen but eliminated by the Budget Committee.
VanTassel said he feels employees are "extremely important" and would like to see them get a raise, but knows the town's taxpayers can only afford so much.
"We should cover the cost of inflation (1.3 percent according to the Consumer Price Index provided by the government) because keeping employees is a bonus," he said.
Jenkins, who is on the Budget Committee said he would definitely not support any 2½ percent raises this year. He noted that every employee got 2½ percent in 2013-2014 and the police got between 6-and 10-percent raises.
"We asked for departments to give us a flat salary budget. We thought it was a reasonable thing to do," Jenkins said.
Lewis said he works in the private sector and just saw many in his company take 40 percent pay cuts. "We gave 2½ percent last year and most towns didn't give more than 2 percent," he said.
"It's not easy," he said. "While 2½ percent seems fair, the inflation rate is 1.3 percent."
Rathjen described it as a valid difference between what the selectmen do and the Budget Committee does. He noted there is a $67,000 difference between the selectmen's and the Budget Committee's budget, $50,000 of it is raises.
Grey said he won't support 2½ percent raises this year and said he voted to keep salaries level. He said Sanbornton was a small rural community with 60 percent of its land in current use and 1,800 parcels that pay taxes.
He said that if people at annual town meeting vote to support the raises or to add the difference between the library request and the Budget Committee's recommendation that was fine, "but don't complain when the tax rate goes up."
"We have to start saying no at some point," Grey said.
Elections are May 13 and will be held at the Old Town Hall. Sanbornton's Town Meeting begins at 7 p.m. at the Sanbornton Central School. Full sample ballots and the list of the warrant articles are available on the Sanbornton Town Website.
