"…The problem with this is that the PKK — which is designated as a terrorist organization by both the United States and Turkey — is effectively at war with Turkey, a NATO ally and a major stakeholder in the outcome of the war in Syria. In April, U.S. State Department spokesperson John Kirby told the press corps that "YPG's not a designated foreign terrorist organization. PKK is. Nothing's changed about that."
Crucially, however, Turkey does not see a distinction between the PKK and the YPG. Neither do several experts whom RFE/RL consulted in researching this article. One source in territory controlled by the Kurds, who wished to remain anonymous due to security concerns, told RFE/RL that there is no doubt that the YPG reports directly to the PKK's guerrilla leadership."

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you specialize in?
Networking, Virtualization and SAN is my specialized areas on the systems side - when it comes to applications, I have a fair amount of experience with LAMP, majority on PHP.
Do you know Cisco?
Yes, I have a good amount of Catalyst and router experience, some ASA. I have not yet played around on Nexus. My specialty is not on datacenter bridging, but regular L3 and core routing, vlan spans, acl and such is a breeze. OSPF is easy, BGP not so much.
Do you do CAT5 installation?
Buildinng installs no - I can help supply and run wires on existing duct/ladder/etc work and such, but I wont cut holes in your walls.
Can you repair my computer?
This is not my mainstream business - but If you are local to my area - Southern New Hampshire - then sure, at an hourly rate.
What type of web hosting do you provide?
Linux based, Shared hosting plans, Apache Web server. I can also manage VPS servers for you.
What server side languages are supported?
Bash, Perl, PHP, and Python are the main ones. Other may be considered on request - such as Ruby and RAILS, it may require that your account gets moved to a server with the right features enabled.
Do you offer Shell/SSH access?
Although technically possible, we do not do so on a regular basis, all functions can be accessed with the Control Panel (CPanel) and FTP. If special circumstances require.
Are my files on the server secure?
The short answer is "It depends" - there are so many factors going into play. From a server management perspective, your files are as secure as you make them, the concept of web servers is to serve files to the world, so any web server is limited to the scope of the application. When it comes to E-Commerce, it supports SSL certificates, and any credit card processing will be okay as long as your application is securely made, and that no sensitive data is stored with symmetric encryption on the server.
Can you troubleshoot my applications?
Application, Code/Script and other non-infrastructure troubleshooting is outside the scope of included support - I will make an effort to pin down the issue, and I can work on your application at an hourly rate.
Can you register my country specific domain?
It depends - but many I may not be able to do - I use Enom for my domain services, the TLD's they support is what I will be able to do.
Can you hide my contact information in domain registrations?
For most TLD's yes, we can enable privacy screening (for a fee) - there are some TLD's which do not allow this.
Can I pay you with a credit card?
No sorry, I do not have a merchant account - all my customers pretty much pay service and consulting fee's on a Net-30 basis, except first time hosting accounts it is up front.
What is the cost of hosting services?
I am not really attempting to make my bread and butter on hosting - most accounts I hold are from clients which also needed some consulting services. That said, a small web site would run you about $100 per year (one domain and a site), while a typical e-commerce site would likely be $300 per year (one domain, hosting, and one SSL certificate).
How do you charge to design and set up a site?
I don't design - I have done quite a few setups but I am not a designer so if you ask me to create a design I will do so but I can not promise a great design. Most of my clients wants functionality rather than design, which I do provide. The actual cost is impossible to estimate without discussion and planning of scope. A simple e-commerce site would probably cost from $1000 and up, plus the hosting.
What is your favorite beer?
That is a trick question, and I change that up all the time - but in general, any locally made IPA or Pale Ale style, or even a good Pilsner, preferably unfiltered and not pasturized. Flowery hops are always good, and USDA organic certified is a good thing.

Beth Masters is the associate director for Christian Development at Mississippi College, and as she enters her second semester in the position, she is excited to continue pouring out into students.
Masters grew up in Tampa, Fla., the place most of her family still calls home. She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of West Florida in Pensacola, where she found a home in the Baptist Collegiate Ministry.
"That's when I really fell in love with college ministry," Masters said, her smile indicating just the beginning of the story.
After seeking God's will, Masters found herself at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, where she stayed for the next nine years. She earned her Masters of Divinity and began making plans to pursue a doctorate in communication.
Nothing was working out, and eventually she realized God wanted her at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, where she worked towards a doctorate in Christian education. Throughout this time, Beth was working in college ministry at the University of New Orleans, as well as, teaching graduate students at the seminary.
Masters describes this as her "dream job"—taking the Christian students out of classrooms and onto campuses, where they began to learn how to make disciples. In the midst of this dream, Masters knew God was calling her to move on.
"I fought it," she admits, but God had other plans. "I felt Him saying, 'You can have everything you've asked me for here, or you can trust me for more.'"
Masters began seeking an opportunity to follow her calling. After a year of searching and applying and wondering, a deadline approached. On May 31, 2013, Masters found herself with a Ph.D. and no job, wondering where to start.
She had previously applied at Mississippi College, only to be turned down because no positions were available. Then, on June 5, 2013, Eric Pratt, the vice-president of Christian development, called her with a job offer.
Masters accepted a position as the associate director for Christian development, which is a multi-faceted job to say the least. Masters explained her position as similar to a campus minister, but from an institutional standpoint.
She works with teams of people to coordinate campus ministries and weekly chapel services, as well as connecting with local churches and college pastors to help MC students find local church homes. Masters develops relationships with students through various ministries and said she hopes she is a resource and an encouragement to students.
Relationships with students are the most important part of the job, according to Masters. Various ministries and events put students in her pathway, and she takes advantage of the chance to disciple and mentor.
"I love just sitting down over a cup of coffee, asking questions, and getting to know someone's story," Masters said.
Through her church, First Baptist Jackson, Masters has led a small group Bible study for girls and began to intentionally disciple them.
She also mentors through scheduled meetings, as well as random encounters and chats in hallways, but she makes sure her goals are always to listen, love, and not judge.
"I hope to impart Christ's love and biblical truth," Masters said. "I do not have all the answers but through scripture, other people, resources, and wrestling with the Lord we can find an answer or get pretty close."
Masters' goal for her life and for her work at MC is to point people to Christ in all that she does, and her positive influence on our campus is a perfect reflection of that mindset.

Anything women can do men can do better: An experiment examining the effects of stereotype threat on political knowledge and efficacy
Negative stereotypes have been shown to create cognitive burdens that decrease intellectual performance in a number of tasks such as math and standardized tests. Applying a multidisciplinary approach and an experimental research design, this paper examines the effect of stereotype threat on political knowledge and political efficacy. A sample of 226 undergraduate students completed an online survey on political knowledge and efficacy. Participants were randomly assigned to a stereotype threat condition or a non-threat condition. Contrary to what was hypothesized, stereotype threat does not explain the political knowledge gap between men and women; men score significantly higher than women in both conditions. However, preliminary evidence suggests the presence of stereotype lift in men's sense of political efficacy. Men's political efficacy demonstrates a moderate increase in the stereotype threat condition while women's sense of efficacy does not change (. d=. .53).

Ok… so word is Cassie's not pregnant but Diddy's baby mama numero uno Misa Hylton Brim has been spilling all the tea! Misa and Diddy celebrated their son Justin's 16th birthday in an over the top extravaganza that included all of the moguls kids (Click HERE if you missed it) but in a recent interview Misa establishes she's HBIC in the Combs baby mama clique and explains how everyone plays their position:
On her relationship with the mothers of Diddy's other children:
"Sarah is really sweet but Sarah and Kim don't get along. I get along with everyone. With both of them. Kim and I go back for years now. We were friends at one point. I was like "you wanted him, you got him now baby". So she's gotta go through all the [stuff] I had to go through back in the days.
Photo of Sara Chapman and Daughter Chance
Sarah has been around as long as Kim, a lot of people don't know that. Puffy was cheating on me with both of them. This is over 15-16 years ago so we've all been around a long time. They are like my sister-wives. I try to keep everything good and we want Kim to accept Chance but she's not ready yet………but I accepted Christian."
Photo of Kim Porter & The Twins
On Diddy's child support:
The money is relative to him. People say "oh it doesn't take that much": you don't know how much tuition is. You don't know what the lifestyle is everyday. Our children (Thank God!!!) are able to have different extracurricular activities. They have tutors, they have programs that they are in. They have to have security which is very expensive on a weekly basis. There are a lot of things that people don't take in consideration that this money goes to. We don't sit and get a check every month and throw it up in the air and say "yea what am I going to do with this today?".
What wasn't going to happen to me before I went to court, is because I'm not with you or sleeping with you, "Kim's son is not going to get more than my son because of that". That was some b*tchassness. Because if you could come and stay here and pop in and out when you wanted to then it wouldn't be a problem. So you are not going to put me at a disadvantage because we are really broken up and I've moved on.
On whether she thinks Diddy is bitter over their break up
Yes, he still is bitter. It's like can I live. I have love for him and he's my family and I'm going to always support him and have his back. But, when you can have everything sometimes and you can't have that one little thing, you are not use to that. That's so over. I'm not saying he's actively trying to pursue me but I get a hard time sometime. It's like what's the problem, you'd think I'd be the one acting like that. I stay out of your way.
Diddy bitter? Woooow! Whodathunkit.
The one good thing about Diddy is that at least he keeps his harem well dressed and fed. They're all on some "sister wives" ish and I guess that's great for the kids but dayum!
Speaking of well dressed, the mogul gets his swirl on in a recent photoshoot for Vogue shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz:

I guess no models of color were available that day…

Gospel of Thomas, coda 23.
"Jesus said, 'I shall choose you, one from a thousand and two from ten thousand, and they will stand as a single one.'"
We do not choose Jesus. Jesus chooses us. The disciple does not choose the Master. The Master chooses the disciple. Jesus, as Master, chooses his disciples from among those who are spiritually ripe or mature. He chooses only those who are ready. But, "ready for what," you may ask? He chooses those ready to stand spiritually alone with Jesus, in unity with him, and unity with the God.
Jesus spoke to various size groups of people. He taught the crowds. To these Jesus presented very important teachings. These are people he ministered in a variety of ways; teaching, blessing, healing, driving out demons, and feeding for instance. Then there were his disciples. These carried out much of the work of preaching, healing, driving out demons, and feeding. This was a smaller group. His instruction of them was more exacting. And then there were the Apostles. There were only twelve of them. They were given the responsibility to lead and teach in addition to the other responsibilities given to the disciples. His instruction to them was at a deeper level according to their further understanding. And there was even a smaller, inner circle. Different scriptures suggest that different apostles were in his inner circle. In the synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke, it appears it was Peter, James and John. Other non-canonical gospels suggest Thomas, Mary Magdalene, Philip, and Judas. John suggests the "Beloved disciple."
In the Gospel of Thomas, Thomas is such a one, spiritual twin to Jesus, in consciousness. He is no longer Jesus' disciple but equal. He has been chosen by Jesus and received from Jesus the knowledge of Self or God and understood it.
Thomas has attained to what he has as the result on his relationship with his Master Jesus. But, according to certain Gnostic schools, he has arrived at that relationship as the result of many lifetimes. He is a mature soul. Anyone who has come this far in this study of Thomas is a mature enough soul, not necessarily to achieve in this lifetime what Thomas has, but is moving towards that. They are likely one of the thousands chosen or one of the two of ten thousand. Others will attain to this as well, but perhaps they are not ready to be part of this number. They have additional incarnations to go through.
As of 2010, the world's population was 6,840,507,000. There are 2,300,000,000 Christians. 1,100,000,000 consider themselves to be non-religious or atheist. 84% of the world population is religious, 33% Christian. Of these, religious and Christian, likely only 20% consider themselves religious in the sense that they seriously seek spiritual development. The level of spiritual development referred to in Thomas is likely of a subset of this 20%. Among Christians, 1 in 1000 equals 2,300,000, small, but significant and 2 in 10,000 equals 460,000.
Jesus' point is that only a few will have the preparation and commitment to realize the fruit of discipleship at this level.

The Indian textiles business has come to a virtual standstill in many parts of the country, following protests and strikes by small manufacturers and traders over various aspects of the recently-introduced Goods and Services Tax (GST) that are showing no signs of abating.
From Surat to Erode and from Amritsar to Ichalakaranji, the protests have been widespread and brought manufacturing in these towns almost to a halt.
The latest organisations to throw their lot with the ongoing agitation were three major Ahmedabad textile markets—the Maskati Cloth Market Association, New Cloth Market and Panchkuva Cloth Market—who on Monday joined Surat merchants in demanding a rollback of the 5 per cent GST on fabric. They have decided to shut down their shops and establishments for an indefinite period.
"The 5 per cent GST on cloth is not acceptable to anyone who is in the textile business. To raise our voice against this tax, all textile markets in the city will go on indefinite strike from tomorrow, as traders will refrain from any kind of transaction," a joint statement released by the three associations on Sunday said. From Surat to Erode and from Amritsar to Ichalakaranji, the protests have been widespread and brought manufacturing in these towns almost to a halt.

Melanoma is tumor of the skin that is cancerous (malignant). It grows from the melanocytes, the cells that color and tan the skin. Melanoma is also called cutaneous melanoma or malignant melanoma. The incidence of melanoma is increasing worldwide at a rate of about 5% per year.
It is a more serious problem than the more common skin cancers, basal cell cancer or squamous cell cancer. Unlike these cancers, melanoma often will spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. About 47,300 patients will be diagnosed with melanoma in 2000, and 7700 will die from recurrent, metastatic disease. Melanoma can spread by local extension (through lymphatics) and/or by hematogenous routes (through the bloodstream) to distant sites. The risk of relapse may decrease over time, but late relapses are not uncommon.
Melanoma can appear on the body as a new mole, or one that has changed in size, shape, feeling or color, or developed oozing or bleeding. Adult men most often get melanoma on the trunk, especially between the shoulder blades, or on the head or neck. Women most often get melanoma on the arms and legs. It can rarely form in children.
Most melanomas are dark, but some are not, and may be flesh colored or pink to red. If there is a serious question of skin cancer, the mole or pigmented area will be cut out (local excision). This is usually done in a doctor's office. It is important that this remove the entire mole if possible.
The lab will analyze the removed skin. If melanoma is found they will report how deep and aggressive it appears. Then a physical exam and lab tests will be done to look for signs that cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body. This is called staging. A doctor needs to know the stage of the disease to plan treatment.
Melanoma vaccines are the most promising new treatment for advanced melanoma. These try to teach the body to fight the cancer. Different centers make their own vaccine different ways. Some seem to work better than others, but results are still inconclusive. 15-20% of patients receiving melanoma vaccines experience partial or complete regression of metastases. Patients who react to the vaccine therapy have significantly longer survival. However, no one has yet demonstrated an unequivocal survival benefit for melanoma so it is still experimental.

[large thumbnail url="montana-extends-public-comment-phase-regarding-wolf-hunts" filename="news" year="2009″ month="12″ day="09″] [thumbnail icon url="montana-extends-public-comment-phase-regarding-wolf-hunts" filename="news" year="2009″ month="12″ day="09″] On December 1, 2009, HOWLColorado posted an article by Maria Ferguson highlighting issues regarding the Wolf Pup Protocol, an Alaska Department of Fish and Game program to place pups orphaned by their wildlife management plans. HOWLColorado, at that time, also contacted Alaskan officials asking for a response.
Tom Schumacher, from the Division of Wildlife Conservation, sent back a response. We will link the pdf of the letter he wrote back, as well as provide the content in this article, as well as content from the email we sent.
Our original email was sent to Karen Blejwas on December 1, 2009.
The following statement was made by Maria Ferguson
Darlene Kobobel also wrote Karen Blejwas and received a reply that her facility didn't meet their requirements even though it was AZA certified. Blejwas also stated that in the "unlikely event" that there would be any Wolf pups they would continue to seek out homes for them with AZA accredited facilities.
As we knew for a fact that Darlene Kobobel's Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center is AZA accredited, we asked the following questions:
We are interested to know if you a) did respond to the director of that center stating their facility was not suitable. b) the criteria you used to approve (or in this case, decline) specific facilities.
We also asked for a copy of the permit request.
We had concerns regarding point 7 (of the May 2009 Pup Protocol document): In areas of Alaska without enzootic rabies, involved DWC field staff will make a concerted effort to humanely live capture and trasnfer orphaned pups to authorized facilities rather than euthanized them in the field, as long as such efforts will not interfere with their other duties, activities and responsibilities.
Karen Blejwas had written a previous article regarding dealing with young wild animals.
"Dealing with an "orphaned" animal is time consuming and expensive for the state. Dealing with individual animals pulls wildlife managers away from the big picture of managing populations of wildlife, and is not the best use of state resources."
So we also asked:
[We] understand the article as a whole was dealing with any and all orphaned animals found by the public in Alaska. However, clarity regarding the effort being made by the state to satisfy this written declaration seems to be important – especially in light of the confusing responses which people have received from your office. A clearly phrased question which is blunt and to the point might be: Is it easier to turn down even AZA certified facilities which can host critically endangered animals instead of spending resources, and time, to satisfy the requirements of the protocols? Has any facility been given an application and if so, has any been finalized and approved?
The response from Mr. Schumacher was accompanied by two attachments. The Wolf Pup Protocols, as of May 2009, and the permit request form. Link will be provided to both of these documents at the end of this article.
His response follows. This is a transcript, and ignores some preamble, and it is strongly recommended that you view the full document in PDF format.
Our Zoo Policy guides where DWC places orphaned wildlife. That policy directs us to place Alaskan wildlife only at an AZA accredited zoo with a positive recommendation from its state regulator. In addition to submitting a completed Educational (Live Display) Permit Application (attached), we also require that a receiving facility hold a USDA Class C Exhibitors License and provide a copy of its most recent inspection report. Permit applications are available on our website at: http://www.wildlife.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=permits.wildife. DWC accepts full responsibility for the staff time associated with placing orphaned pups in a manner consistent with our May 2009 protocol (attached), other applicable policies and regulations.
Our Zoo Policy was written in 1988 and is now under revision. When we seek to place orphaned wildlife at a zoo or similar facility, ensuring the welfare of those animals is our highest priority. The revision of our policy will include a review of organizations that provide accreditation or certification for zoos and like facilities and the role those certifications play in ensuring high standards of animal care. We hope to have a new policy in place by spring 2010. Until then, we recognize the differences between AZA accredited and certified facilities are primarily related to public access and education functions rather than standards of animal care. Therefore, until our new Zoo Policy is in place we will consider placing orphaned wolf pups at AZA certified facilities. AZA accredited zoos will continue to have priority because they offer greated public access and use the animals to educate and promote a conservation message.

This charming book represents the script and film stills from the major silent film of Eleanor Antin's invented Soviet film director Yevgeny Antinov. Throughout her career Antin has explored various persona such as the king, the nurse, and—perhaps most famous—the ballerina Eleanora Antinova. In this work, Antin humorously explores notions of self, nostalgia,and history, specifically the Eastern European Jewish shtetl communities apart by internal struggles and ultimately destroyed by the Holocaust. Yet the authentic look of the black and white film, the plot of this dark melodrama in the Yiddish theatre tradition, and the sheer beauty of the film's images make it a true masterpiece of silent film-making. If Antinov did not exist, Antin would have had to invent him—and she did. His cinematic creations were necessary to fill in the missing gaps of film history.
Recently, Eleanor Antin's art was the subject of a major retrospective by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.Sun & Moon Press also has published her performances and plays, Eleanora Antinova Plays.

When it comes to babies and sleep, it's clearly impossible to follow every piece of advice out there. But most parents abide by this one mantra: Never wake a sleeping baby. Jennifer and Frank Lobato certainly weren't taking any chances last weekend when their 5-month-old Sophie conked out just as they arrived at the Hands On Children's Museum in Olympia, WA.
Mom posted this photo on Reddit with the title: "Took kids to a Children's Museum. My five month old fell asleep before we got there but we didn't let that stop her from having a BLAST."
Along with her hilarious evidence ...

As one Redditor commented, It's like "'Weekend at Bernie's,' but funnier and no death."
Jennifer told HuffPost via e-mail that Sophie is seen in a harness in the pictures because she was recently diagnosed with hip dysplasia and a complete dislocation in her right hip. "She will be in it for six weeks, [and] is not in any pain or discomfort ... She continues life as normal and happy as possible," she said.
Clearly, that's true whether Sophie is asleep or not -- though Mom did add that the baby woke up in time to enjoy the end of their outing with her 3-year-old big brother.

The nanoparticles have the ability to concentrate a number of very different functions from each other in a very small space. In addition, the small size allows nanoparticles to "travel" within the human body, if properly engineered, to selectively accumulate in target organs. Once in the desired site, the properties of the nanoparticles can be used for diagnostic purposes by means of conventional techniques (nuclear magnetic resonance, computed tomography) or advanced ones (raman imaging). Starting from laser assisted approaches, innovative solutions for nanomedicine can be developed. In particular (but not only), nanostructured contrast agents for multimodal biomedical imaging.
Treatment and diagnosis of cancer by means of laser radiation using nanoparticles as sensitizers is also possible. The laser radiation can also be applied at a great distance, can pass through transparent materials, can be turned "on" and "off" at will and can resonate only with materials having the right electronic properties: all these characteristics means that light has enormous potential for the diagnosis and therapy of cancer.
On the other hand, the nanoparticles can be constructed as to selectively respond to laser radiation, to generate a series of signals to assist the work of surgeons in the localization, identification, therapy and even destruction of the tumor tissues, all via the use of laser radiation.
The research in this area concerns the realization and optimization of nanosystems for diagnosis and therapy of cancer using laser radiation at different wavelengths.

We are world champs baby
Indians are world champions baby. We are no. 1 in tests, one days and now we are world champs. Can you believe it?
The team we all are used to seeing come close at times and break our hearts and at times rip our hearts and deep fry them n toss them on the grill to make sure they are charred like coal and possibly use them to grill more hearts by losing in the first round.
Today they ripped them out alright and deep fried them too, but then they threw them in a pot full of sugar syrup, spooned them out, added two dollops of creamy ice cream and topped it off with a cherry of a sixer to close the deal. What a ride? Cherish your team fellow citizens and crazies. Tonight's your night. Cherish your team.
Indian Cricket
I have been an ardent fan of cricket since I remember. Being born in India in 70s and getting introduced to cricket at a very young age during the hey days of a world cup win in 1983, the only sport that I knew and played was cricket for a long time. While Diego Maradona inspired us to play football a bit we used to sneak out of class rooms either to watch or play cricket. It doesn't matter at what level, all we needed was a ball and a flat piece of wood. I still remember days when I used to practice my defense, cover drives and the loft over mid-on for six.
I am watching the world cup final between India and Sri Lanka while writing this. India is in dire straights and will probably lose, while I hope it doesn't. The thing that inspired me to write is frustration, Ironically. For a country of 1.2 billion people, we have been struggling for a while to win the big one. While I can go on and on and write tomes about all the reasons for not being able to produce a winning team, the one prime reason I think undid all the previous teams is the infighting and all the politics to get into the team and then, once in to stay in the team. While playing for the country is the pride for everyone getting in, money is the reason, in my opinion, thing that will push them to stay in despite being well aware that there is better talent waiting on the wings that can give them better chances.
While Australia has been dominant for the past decade, though there were occasional challengers, India has become the team to beat, off late. I think the reason behind that is the new attitude of the captain being a leader during the periods of stress as well as being fair to the players by giving opportunities for the ones who he thinks will give him a better chance to win. While there are still politics influencing who gets those opportunities, the attitude of the team has changed for good and I am hopeful it stays that way for the years to come. Even if india loses this one, I am sure they will go on and dominate for a while.
Just like any other fan, I am hoping that they will win this one. While I complete and post this entry, a couple of young guns are playing sensibly and keeping India in the chase. Go India.
My wish…fulfilled
I wished the Patriots did what they did to Jets yesterday in their first encounter. It is one thing being confident. But it pisses off people when someone is really arrogant without achieving anything. I would have been fine if the Saints were as cocky as the Jets. I read some sports writers support Rex Ryan's cockiness by saying he is trying to change the Jet's losing culture by bringing in a new attitude. Well, if he was trying to do that by pissing off rest of the teams, their coaches and fans then I think he has accomplished this. They barely go through their previous 4 games and finally ended up in the hands of a team that is peaking. I am still weary of their defense though.
Even after two years I still can't get the 2007 super bowl out of my head though. I hope they win this one, now that they have lost a few and probably would not have the burden of going 19-0 on their shoulders.
Good bye Randy…
I was a little surprised when I read that Randy Moss has been traded to the Vikings. It was not shocking though. It has been a drag for the last couple of years after the initial fireworks. I believe he still has got the talent, just disgruntled with the way things are run by coach BB.
With Wes back and the TEs stepping up, Pats may probably not miss him as much. But I think the big play phobia of the teams playing NE might be put aside, at least for now. Wes will become an easy target for the defense since there will not be two players that they need to double team.
Favre got his wish fulfilled, even if it is just for one season. One has to wait n see how that combo works out though. It is probably fitting for Randy to get back to where it all started. It will make a good story for his HoF career.
My blogging troubles
As usual, it's been a while since I blogged.
Am planning to do it on a regular basis from now on (you can call it my new year resolution)
I am hooked up to NFL these days, rather I should say I've become a sports junkie.
Not sure, how long this will last but it's eating a lot of my time as I am watching the idiot box all the time.
Took some time to reflect on where I started and where I am heading the other day.
It triggered a lot of thought threads that led me all the way to my school days.
Didn't realize that it's been almost 15 years now.
Am trying to connect to all my old friends from school and college again.
I started off with Naveen.
It's midnight now, will continue later.

You know that Christmas song, Little Drummer Boy? I always thought that was a terrible song. Repetitive, dull, sort of corny. So imagine my surprise when, after my kids were born, I found myself getting this big lump in my throat every time it came on the radio.
I'll get back to that drummer boy thing in a minute. But let me start here:
The photo up there is the centerpiece of our kitchen. It's a dragon. Finn made it. The three eggs remind me of Game of Thrones. Finn had talked about this dragon for some time – he was excited to bring it home.
The truth is I'm not sure what I would think if I went over to somebody's house and found that little clay dragon in the center of their kitchen island. I mean, I know what I would say. I would say this: Oh, that's cool! What a great job your son did! That's sweet that you keep it there!
But I would actually be thinking this: That's not exactly an attractive thing to have on your kitchen island and also I need somewhere to put the spinach dip so can I move that dragon or are you going to freak out on me?
Children's artwork is one of those things that parents love and everyone else is fairly unmoved by. Before I became a parent, when I would visit somebody's house and find their fridge pasted with so much artwork that it looked like a localized paper tornado, I would always think to myself how much better and cleaner the kitchen would look if they would just put those papers in some kind of box. Maybe in the attic or whatever.
That wasn't me being cold-hearted. It was just not understanding why people junked up their kitchen like that.
Then my own kids starting bringing stuff home. And I was utterly unable to throw it away. I was mesmerized by it, as if every day they had brought me a new painting they'd stolen from the Louvre, rolled up and stuffed in their backpack next to the apple they didn't eat.
My kids bring home crates of artwork, lugging it like a postman delivering the mail at an army base. And I sift through it, not wanting to miss a single jot or stroke.
And we don't just like it. We love it. Like this pink owl Lucy did – it hung in our kitchen for a year:
It begs the question: Why do I love this pink owl? Why do I love any of it?
It's easy to say "because my kids made it" but that doesn't actually answer the question, because my kids make blanket forts all the time and it drives me bonkers because guess who's folding up those blankets? It ain't the dog.
I love their art because nothing captures innocence quite like a child's art. And please, please believe me that I don't mean that sentence in the corny, rainbow-barf way it sounds.
What I mean is this: We learn from a pretty young age to not put ourselves out there. Why do we sing in the shower? Because nobody's around. How much creative stuff have you ever seen out of your friends? Who has shown you their writing or their drawing or sang something for you? For me, the answer is pretty close to zero. Of course it is! Nobody wants to lay themselves bare like that. It's potentially mortifying.
But kids haven't figured that out yet.
Our kids draw or sculpt or paint something and they can't wait to show us. They can't wait to gift it to us because they know we will appreciate it. We hang it up and we make it the centerpiece. That is what a parent is – when we are doing it right, at least: We are a perfect audience for the creation, because we adore the creator.
This time of life, childhood, is that glorious moment that stretches out, the moment where our kids haven't yet been told that they aren't as good as everyone else because they are being held up to a standard that the world has created.
But I will tell you in all honesty (and I think parents will back me up) that the sound of my daughter singing in her bedroom brings me exponentially more joy than any music I could listen to on the radio.
I just stand quietly outside her door at night and listen, knowing it won't always be like that. That's what innocence sounds like. A girl singing and knowing that she is so loved by her dad that her singing is a gift, not something to be judged or evaluated or rated or made fun of or praised for its quality. I love Finn's art because I love Finn. I love Lucy's singing because I love her.
All of that brings me back to the Little Drummer Boy.
That boy in the song had nothing to give the new king. Nothing. So he played his drum for him. Not because he was the greatest drummer in the land, but because he was a child and he trusted that he might be loved, even by a king.
That king was – if you believe this – the son of God. If you believe in this, then you believe that the boy was a child of that king. And if you are a parent, you can imagine the joy that that flooded the king when the boy began to play his drum for him, like a dad listening to his child sing in her bedroom.
But enough about my kid's art, and more about my art. So here we have…
The Top Five Art Projects I Did as a Kid.
1. My First Story.
You remember those giant pages from kindergarten that were barely recycled and still had wood pulp chips in them where the top half was for drawing and there were three super wide lines at the bottom so you couldn't possibly write outside the lines? I still have my first one. The drawing was me with a red ball and it said I had a red ball and that I liked playing with it. The truth was that I didn't have a red ball. And I swear that to this day I still feel guilty about writing that.
2. Cezanne.
In 8th grade, our art teacher did something cool, which was to give us a canvas with a grid on it and let us choose a piece of famous art and made that into a grid, and then we would just paint it, grid by grid, and it sort of ended up looking a little like the painting. I chose a painting by Cezanne. I then made Cezanne my favorite artist and begged my parents to take me to the museum in NYC to see a Cezanne and when we finally did they were like "Look, Cezanne" and I was "Whatever."
3. Ash Tray(s).
Let me tell you what kids aren't making any more: Ash trays. Raise your hand if you're from the generation that was still making ash trays for your parents out of clay, whether or not your parents smoked. I feel like my generation single-handedly forced my parents generation to keep smoking, because we kept bringing home ash trays and asking why our parents weren't using them.
4. Me, Myself and I.
My first grade teacher let us write a book and have it bound and everything. I called mine "Me, Myself and I" which I thought was awfully clever. It wasn't long but it had drawings and information about me, like my name is Conor and I have these siblings and these pet parakeets and I like to play kickball. Which is really how I should be introducing myself as an adult.
5. Jupiter, King of the Gods.
Our sixth grade social studies teacher apparently played guitar. We learned this when, during the time we were learning about Greek Gods, he told us he had written a song to remember the Gods. He took out his guitar and he paused and said "If anyone laughs, you fail the class" and he was only half joking. But he was a good singer. He gave us a choice – write a report on Greek Gods or memorize that song and sing it in front of the class, solo. I, along with maybe half the class, chose to sing, beet red and mortified. It was traumatic and invigorating and I can still sing the opening verse: "Jupiter, King of the Gods! King of the Gods that's Jupiter!"
When I came home that day after singing that song in front of my sixth grade social studies class, I sang it for my parents. They clapped. And I was not embarrassed.

Teaching is a practice that demands life-long learning and an essential aspect of this journey is that I strive towards building and improving my own pedagogical content knowledge. I have to seek a deeper understanding of the content within an interdisciplinary context that is rooted in real-world issues and experiences. Essentially, my responsibility is to support learning that is engaging and relevant, and to do that, I need to know and understand the content AND how to best support learners to engage with it. Throughout this program, I've gained new skills and integrated new tools into my practice. I've added research, social media, online discussions, scholarly readings, and trying out new and emerging technologies to my practice, in a more intentional and productive way than I ever did throughout my career.
My final products of learning in three courses during my Spring 2015 semester give a comprehensive picture of my mastery of this content knowledge goal. I coached teachers and supported their students in two MinecraftEdu experiences – Givercraft and Survivalcraft. These artifacts demonstrate my commitment to increasing knowledge, deepening understanding, and building skills even when I am already very familiar with content. I believe there is always more to know and that new perspectives from others give me new context to build my content knowledge.
My SEACCR Research Paper is an artifact that demonstrates not only that I am knowledgeable about current academic content and standards, but that I also continue to develop and expand my knowledge and understanding of content within a broader context and its relevance to learners. This artifact documents an extensive and detail-oriented process of inquiry that I used to deepen and improve my practice and in how I designed and supported a virtual learning environment. I effectively applied a qualitative research approach, initially through my annotated bibliography and then more elaborately in my thematic review of the literature included in this artifact.
The content being studied by students began in their English & Language Arts classes and became an interdisciplinary study throughout the MinecraftEdu learning experience. In examining common themes from the dialogue and discussion throughout the experience, I found that the social interactions, building tasks, exploration, and mobility in a virtual gameworld contributed to a collaborative community of learning between and among students and their peers as well as with their teachers. Students enjoyed an engaging experience discovering other communities, solving problems to survive and thrive, and translate their learning and understanding of the content into physical structures and meaningful role-play and interactions with other players.
Throughout the artifact, I demonstrate my knowledge and understanding of the Minecraftedu game as a virtual learning environment, of the tools and skills needed to use the game, but more importantly, of the pedagogy and practice needed to support an interdisciplinary and real-world context for learning within the gameworld. I focused my research on teachers and their use of tools and strategies in managing behavior and moderating dialogue and interactions around the content being explored. My focus on teachers in this unique virtual learning environment contributes to a broader discourse in teaching about how to effectively integrate technology in learning, how to create meaningful and engaging learning experiences to explore content in a relevant and personal context, and how students can be supported to self-regulate and take ownership of their own learning experiences.
Other artifacts related to this particular MinecraftEdu experience demonstrate how I effectively met and exceeded ISTE (NETS-C) Standards related to content knowledge. In my Diffi-Mooc internship reflection I outlined my role in supporting teachers to use technology tools and strategies within and outside of the MinecraftEdu gameworld to create a broader but more meaningful context for learning content. By modeling use of differentiation tools and strategies, game management and interactions with students, and by presenting and providing meaningful tasks, real-world context, and appropriate products of learning, I supported and mentored teachers to facilitate a highly-engaging experience for their students.
An additional artifact relevant to the ISTE (NETS-C) Standards was my Philosophy of Online Teaching and Learning included in my OLTAK course Final Reflection paper. In my philosophy, I describe my efforts and experiences in expanding and deepening my knowledge and understanding of distance and online learning. Examining the Online Collaborative Learning Theory in addition to reflecting on my own experience as an online graduate student has given me greater context for learning and using technology for effective and meaningful learning experiences. The collaborative course design experience also meant that I was able to learn from my peers and the teachers that I was coaching through the online teacher training course. Using best practices and effective course design, I was able to effectively and appropriately support teachers and their students throughout the Givercraft and Survivalcraft experiences with MinecraftEdu.

The onset of the darker nights and shorter days of Autumn can often disrupt a child's bed times and wake times, and for parents it can be a huge problem. Help is at hand in the form of Sleep Tight All Night – an innovative new sleep aid which helps create a settled bedtime routine for your child.
The answer to a good night's sleep and the ideal aid for transitioning your child from cot to bed, Sleep Tight All Night uses red and green lights to teach children when to go to sleep and when to get up; helping to create that longed for established sleep routine for your little one! Scientific studies show green light can impede sleep by inhibiting the production of the sleep hormone melatonin, whereas red light has the opposite effect and can aid sleep.
Simply set the module that slots comfortably inside the toy to sleep mode to activate the soft glowing red light and your child can drift off to sleep listening to any one of the five comforting sounds. If your child wakes in the night, a squeeze of the toy's tummy will make the red light glow and the soothing sounds will play again, helping them drift back off to sleep. When reaching the selected time, the module changes to a green glowing light when squeezed letting your child knows it's time to get up and go!
As well as providing comfort and reassurance to little ones at bedtime, it has the added benefit of being a huggable daytime companion with fun character phrases. Sleep Tight All Night is available in Teddy, Puppy, Unicorn or the In the Night Garden Igglepiggle versions and we have 8 to give away!
Enter this competition for the chance to enjoy a peaceful night and sleep tight – all night – this Christmas.

Incoming Islanders owners to continue Wang's visionby John Kreiser
UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Scott Malkin and Jon Ledecky will spend the next two years getting a hands-on course on how to run the New York Islanders. Their teacher: current owner Charles Wang.
Malkin and Ledecky were introduced Wednesday as the incoming owners of the Islanders. They will hold a minority interest in the team for two seasons before taking over as majority owners, with Wang retaining a minority interest.
"Life has its moments of opportunity, and you have to decide whether you're going to step forward," Malkin said when asked why he and Ledecky wanted to buy a franchise that has made the Stanley Cup Playoffs once since 2007 and hasn't won a series since 1993. "Charles gave us that opportunity. For us, we saw this as a moment that we could embrace things that we believed in and embrace the Islanders and what they stand for.
"The vision that Charles has created of the team, the new arena, the strength on which to build, those were very important to us."
Under terms of the agreement, Wang will still be majority owner during the franchise's final season at Nassau Coliseum and the first season at Barclays Center, where the Islanders will play beginning in 2015-16.
"It's Charles' vision. It's Charles' team," Malkin said when asked about the extended transition. "What I've realized even in the few short weeks that we've been owners is how much we still need to learn. What I admire greatly about Charles' approach is that he's focused on what's best for the team, the future of the team; a smooth transition and a partnership lend themselves to that.
"I'm learning every day from Charles, and I see how valuable this kind of transition is."
Ledecky, a Manhattan investor, was a part-owner of the Washington Capitals before selling his interest to majority owner Ted Leonsis in 2001. He and Malkin, who owns upscale shopping centers in Europe, have been friends for more than 30 years.
"I had a great experience with Ted Leonsis," Ledecky said. "Ted taught me an incredible amount in two years. I think Scott and I feel the same way about Charles; he's got 14 years of knowledge, of being part of the NHL, and during that 14 years [when] I've been out of the League, the League has changed enormously. Conditioning, players, stats, the use of analytics; there's so much to learn, so much to absorb. I think Scott and I feel really good about having this two-year transition to learn it.
"I think the fact that we're going to be on a listening tour, listening to the fans, listening to what we can do to enhance the experience for hockey fans as we move to Brooklyn and making sure that our loyal and devoted fan base that's been built over 40 years has a smooth transition."
Wang and Sanjay Kumar bought the Islanders in 2000; Wang became the sole owner four years later. He has negotiated with several potential buyers before this sale, and explained why he felt this was a good time to sell.
"The quality of the people to be a partner," he said. "You know how I feel about the Islanders, what we've tried to do, how we've worked at it. To have the opportunity in life to pass the baton on to people you believe and trust; we've had lots of interest in the Islanders for a long time, but I believe and I heartily support [that] these are the right people to be partners and take this to the next step."
Ledecky said owning a franchise whose history includes four Stanley Cups from 1980-83 but which has struggled for most of the past two decades (though it's off to a 4-2-0 start this season) is about more than money.
"For me, it's all about community service," he said. "I think that a team is the fabric of a community, and you can do things through a sports team that are difficult to do otherwise. There's so much that a team can do to forward a community's agenda. It's a place where fans of all different economic strata can get together and come together in a community.
"For me, it's an opportunity to do good, do well and put a winning team on the ice."
The move to Brooklyn will present the challenge of attracting fans from Nassau and Suffolk counties, most of whom are accustomed to driving to the Coliseum, to make the train trip to their new home, a facility that Wang called "above first-class."
"We're looking to do what's best for the team," Malkin said. "The move to Barclays [Center], the expanded fan base, that's fundamental to the opportunity for the team."
Ledecky knows it's a formidable task, but one he thinks a winning team and off-ice efforts by the franchise can accomplish.
"I think the fans will follow us if we follow them," Ledecky said. "We have to make sure that behind the scenes we're working with all the different authorities to make it a breeze to come from this part of Long Island to Brooklyn. If we do that, then the fans follow with us.
"I don't want to lose one single fan. I want them to come and migrate with us, if at all possible, and I think we need to be doing things that are effective to make that a reality."

Republicans will meet on Thursday for the first presidential debate of 2016, just a little more than two weeks before the nominating contest officially kicks off. The Fox Business–hosted event will take place in South Carolina, but the action on stage will be defined by what's happening in the two states where Republicans will cast their votes first: Iowa, where Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are running neck and neck, and New Hampshire, where Trump and Cruz also lead, and Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, and John Kasich are desperate to prove they're the best establishment alternative. (Ben Carson, I'm told, will also be onstage.)
Here's what to watch for:
Trump vs. Cruz
Toward the end of the previous Republican debate, CNN's Dana Bash set Trump up to deliver on his pre-debate promise to cut Cruz down to size. The billionaire, though, didn't bite. "He's just fine," Trump said after literally patting his rival on the back. "Don't worry about it." Cruz, who at that point was still happily sailing along in the slipstream of Trump's bluster, didn't look a luxurious gift horse in the mouth. Flash-forward to present day, though, and the two men's alliance is no more.
Trump has spent the past several weeks hitting Cruz on his Cuban ancestry, questioning his religion, and reliving his past opposition on federal ethanol subsidies, a particularly sensitive subject in the corn-rich Hawkeye State. More recently, Trump's reached into his birther bag of tricks to stoke concerns that Cruz isn't even eligible to be president since he was born in Canada. The Texas senator, who last year was willing to turn the other cheek, finally began to swing back earlier this week (perhaps because he's been slipping in the Iowa polls), taking aim at Trump on everything from his flyby campaign strategy to his foreign policy chops—and even highlighting the former reality TV star's past ties to Hillary Clinton to suggest his former BFF is now working in concert with the enemy.
All that has many politicos and pundits expecting Trump and Cruz to finally have the donnybrook that never happened last month. I wouldn't be shocked if that happens; I also wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't. Time and time again, we've watched and waited for Trump to take on his challenger on stage—Bush this summer, Carson this fall, Cruz this winter—and yet when the time comes, the national polling front-runner plays it safe in a setting he's never quite looked comfortable in. (He did go after Bush in this past debate, but that was picking on the weak guy, not attacking his main competition.) Cruz, meanwhile, is one of the strongest debaters in the race, but there's no way of telling how a head-to-head with Trump would pan out given his uncanny ability to bully with grammatically challenged bluster. If both men ultimately decide to play it safe, it will suggest both are confident with their current strategies: Cruz believes he has the ground game to grind out a stage-setting victory in Iowa, while Trump believes he'll be able to turn out enough first-time voters to change the game entirely. If instead they attack, that means they are each starting to feel legitimately threatened by the other.
The Establishment Battle Royale
While it's uncertain whether Cruz and Trump will tangle, there's little doubt about what we'll get from the establishment-minded foursome on stage: a brawl. Rubio, Christie, Bush, and Kasich have all bet big on New Hampshire, where GOP primary voters are significantly more moderate and establishment-minded than caucusgoers in Iowa. But as much as they'd love to win the Granite State, their more pressing concern is coming out on top of their Republican Party–approved rivals.
For each, the most plausible path to the nomination today is to be the last man not named Ted or Donald standing after the early states—at which point they'll hope to consolidate enough support to clinch the nomination. That's a strategy that could still work, particularly since the primary calendar is back-loaded with a bevy of delegate-rich, winner-take-all Northern states, where candidates with more moderate images tend to do well. To accomplish that, though, they need to convince party power brokers and deep-pocketed donors, all eager to rally around a single candidate, to walk away from the other guys. If one member of the establishment-backed foursome bests the group by a convincing margin in New Hampshire, the others will start facing serious pressure to get out.
We've seen this dynamic start to play out in recent weeks in New Hampshire, where Rubio, Christie, and co. have left Trump and Cruz largely untouched in favor of training their fire on one another. Christie is blasting Rubio, Rubio and Kasich's respective super PACs are both attacking Christie, Bush's super PAC is carpet-bombing the field, and seemingly everyone is making fun of Rubio's fancy shoes. The group is unlikely to forgive and forget by Thursday night.
Given his past strong debate performances, Rubio is the most likely of the bunch to give himself a boost—though he'll continue to deal with increased expectations as the current establishment favorite. Christie, meanwhile, won't have a Rand Paul–shaped foil to spar with for once, potentially freeing him up to devote his attention to another of his rivals. (The best thing Kasich and Bush—particularly Bush—have going for them is that national expectations couldn't be much lower at this point. Jeb 2016: Catch the fever!) Still, debates rarely deliver knockouts, and Thursday's establishment civil war is unlikely to produce a clear-cut winner among this group. The biggest risk for the Republican Party is that it turns into a circular firing squad.

Contrary to what you may have heard, adding a furry or feathered member to your family can be a wonderful thing. Moreover, it comes with the added bonus of boosting self-esteem, lowering stress levels for everyone in the family, but most importantly, they can teach your little a great deal about love
ASK any Indian adult what they think about having furry companions and the reaction is almost always positive. They smile and either reminisce fondly about their past experiences of having pets, or they wistfully sigh and wish their parents had given into their demands for one when they were little. Now as parents with very young kids, when asked if they would consider having pets as companions for their children, strangely the answer is almost always a resounding 'no'. Based on mostly hearsay and a lot of old wives' tales about pets being a health hazard for little ones, those once-enthusiastic pet lovers are now wracked with doubt about the issue.
Families seem to forget the well-known fact that humans who have animal companions tend to have several great things going for them. Not only do they tend to be less likely to develop heart disease and hypertension, but they also tend to live longer and happier lives. Pets provide unconditional love and companionship, which can be a boon for folks who tend to have social anxiety or suffer feelings of isolation and loneliness. Try watching a person with their pet in public, and notice how random strangers feel comfortable enough to approach them or are more willing to help them if they ask for directions.
Just try staying grumpy when you have a hyper-energetic kitten who wants to play with you frantically with little regard for gravity or whether you have the time and energy. And we challenge you to lead a sedentary life when you have to walk your dog three times a day so he can do his business in the open. Did you know that scientists discovered that people who played with their pets displayed high levels of neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine? These are also known as your happy chemicals. Not only that, these same folks had lower than normal levels of unhealthy things like triglycerides and cholesterol in their systems. Even the act of stroking a pet can serve to slow down your heart rate and make you feel calm, happy and relaxed.
Consulting homoeopathic psychiatrist, counsellor and regression therapist, Dr Dinal Vora, who specialises in child mental health, says it best when she describes how the unconditional love and acceptance that an animal is capable of giving a baby, helps the child feel secure and safe. "Going ahead, the child operates from this secure feeling and hence is able to make lasting and fulfi lling relationships.
The security helps them feel confident about themselves in endeavours where self-doubt tends to creep in," she elaborates. A family is a close-knit unit and animals, too, are protective of their young. This makes a dog or a cat almost an ideal companion thanks to their unique combination of roles and functions as a parent-like protector and an energetic, fun-filled playmate. Dr Dinal is also quick to mention that pets can be a positive infl uence on kids with regard to non-verbal communication, by helping them learn to express themselves even without using words.

Make a gift to preserve our heritage12/20/2018
We can do more together than we can apart. All of human history proves that.
While we often credit great advances to one person, those innovators all stood on the shoulders of others. Elwood Haynes didn't develop his car alone; he had the help of the Appersons and J.D. Maxwell, not to mention a combustion engine that was developed entirely by others. Haynes' pioneering work in metallurgy at Stellite followed the experiments and research of many before him, just as the growth of automotive electronics was the result of a long series of advancements by hundreds of engineers at Delco Radio.
The Howard County Historical Society has pledged itself to preserving the stories of our community, as well as the physical objects and documents that bring them to life. We can't do that alone.
Join the entire community and come together behind our mission – to put the power of many to work. Together, we can leverage our talents and assets. Together, we'll preserve the lessons of our history and teach them to our children and grandchildren. Your gift is an important step toward that goal.
