Until we meet again - Occupational Therapy Program 2012 concludes
27 September 2012
The eight Occupational Therapy (OT) students working with K-2 students and their teachers at Bexley, Kogarah, Condell Park and Wattawa Heights PS bid their farewells at the end of Term 3. Students shared their expertise and assisted schools with their OT needs with much enthusiasm while completing their Bachelor of Heath Science in Occupational Therapy and Master of Occupation Therapy degrees.
The evolution of the Compass OT program in 2012 has been considerable. In addition to the in-school clinic, the program also introduced Professional Development sessions for teachers in Term 3, which provided teachers with helpful and practical OT strategies to support student development in the classroom. The collaborative nature of the sessions meant teachers could share their experiences, as well as the resources that the Compass OT program made available to sustain practice in the future. There were four sessions with applicable topics:
- Core strength: building a string foundation for learning
- Motor planning: dyspraxia, the disorganised child
- Sensory processing: is it sensory or behavior?
- Fine motor skills: getting little hands working
All sessions were delivered at schools and also used the schools' "connected classroom" video conferencing facilities. Sessions were made available to all Compass primary partner schools; teachers could choose to either dial in from the convenience of their classroom or visit the neighboring schools. The video conferencing facilities allowed the facilitators to reach out to more schools, with a total of nine schools and an estimated 40 teachers taking part.
Whether emphasized through the teacher's professional development or an in-school OT clinic, the re-enforcement of basic aspects of child development such as core strengths and fine motor skills has significantly contributed to the schools' efforts to improve students' academic outcomes. The improvements in these basic skills further engage the primary school students and encourage them to continue improving their outcomes at school.
Some teacher feedback:
- "Connected classrooms [is] a great way to link together with other schools"
- "I gained a greater understanding of the topic (Motor Planning- The Disorganised Child). I will be more aware that children that demonstrate disorganisation may have a legitimate condition that we can help treat" - Wattawa Heights PS
- "[I learned] how vital core strength is to everyday activities and how good core strength can improve coordination and overcome exhaustion. I will use the information to incorporate core strength [exercises] into lesson breaks or warm up [and] cool down sessions at sport/PE" - Kogarah PS
- "[Understand] what sensory processing is and useful simple strategies to implement in my classroom" - Condell Park PS
- "The Hungry Tennis Ball idea is great!" - Bexley PS
Presentations and handouts from each topic are available on the Compass website in the Teachers' Resources page.
And finally, some feedback from a student:
A Year 2 student Wattawa Heights PS made a card for the OT University students that read:
To Erin and Chang,
Thank you for having us for the [w]hole term. COMPASS [is] the best. There is nothing I like at this school better than having COMPASS. Thank you for all the fun activities you have done with us.
Compass gratefully acknowledges its university and school partners for their collaborative contributions:
- University students from Bachelor of Heath Sciences in Occupational Therapy and Master of Occupational Therapy who completed their placement at Compass partner schools
- The Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Sydney
- Bexley, Kogarah, Condell Park and Wattawa Heights PS
- Sharon Pierce from OT for Kids

Gordon seeks voting bump for All-Star start
Royals outfielder, a two-time Gold Glove winner, remains in eighth place
KANSAS CITY -- Left fielder Alex Gordon continues to be the Royals' top contender for a starting spot in the American League All-Star lineup. But he's got some ground to make up before the fans stop voting on the Fourth of July.
In the second tally, announced on Saturday night, Gordon still ranked eighth among the top 15 AL outfielders with 789,488 votes.
The top three are Adam Jones of the Orioles, 1,944,450; Mike Trout of the Angels, 1,939,486; and Torii Hunter of the Tigers, 1,067,973.
The 2013 All-Star Game will be played at Citi Field on Tuesday, July 16. Come to MLB.com for extensive online coverage of the All-Star Week festivities.
Gordon's credentials for the trip to New York include a .310 average and the Major League lead in hitting with two outs, .440 (33-for-75). He also has a .370 (17-for-46) average with runners in scoring position, eighth-best in the AL.
The two-time Gold Glove left fielder has six assists, tied for second in the league.
"He's a very solid, consistent producer offensively -- and defensively," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "I think he's, if not the best left fielder in the game, definitely in the top one or two and I can't even think who would be in his class. He's just a good player, an All-Star-type-caliber player. And I think players get into that level just by being consistently good."
Since 2011, Gordon has batted an even .300 and knocked in 190 runs in 370 games. His 43 outfield assists are the most in the Majors.
No Royals player is listed among the top five vote-getters at the infield positions, catcher or designated hitter.
Fans can cast their votes for starters at MLB.com and all 30 club sites -- online or via a mobile device -- using the 2013 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot until Thursday, July 4, at 10:59 p.m. CT.
Fans may submit 25 online ballots during the voting period but can also earn a one-time bonus of 10 additional online ballots. To access these additional online ballots, fans must be logged into an MLB.com account when submitting any online ballot. To obtain an MLB.com account, visit www.mlb.com and register in accordance with the enrollment instructions for a free MLB.com account.
There's another attractive candidate in Kansas City -- catcher Salvador Perez, who has a .311 average to rank only behind Joe Mauer (.323) of the Twins at the position. And it's Mauer who leads the voting for AL catchers while Perez isn't in the top five.
Perez also has thrown out nine runners attempting to steal, second only to 10 by Matt Wieters of the Orioles, who happens to be second in the AL balloting for catcher.
The 2013 American League and National League All-Star teams will be unveiled on Sunday, July 7, on the 2013 MLB All-Star Game Selection Show, televised nationally on TBS. Baseball fans around the world will then be able to select the final player on each team via the All-Star Game Final Vote sponsored by freecreditscore.com on MLB.com.
Fans can also once again participate in the Home Run Derby Fan Poll. Fans will have the opportunity to select three players in each league whom they would most like to see participate in the Home Run Derby. The 2013 Home Run Derby -- part of Gatorade All-Star Workout Day -- will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN HD, ESPN Deportes and ESPN Radio in the United States beginning at 7 p.m. CT on Monday, July 15.
And the voting doesn't end there. The final phase of All-Star Game voting will again have fans participating in the official voting for the Ted Williams All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award presented by Chevrolet. During the Midsummer Classic, fans will vote exclusively online at MLB.com via the 2013 All-Star Game MLB.com MVP Vote, and their voice will represent 20 percent of the official vote determining the recipient of the Arch Ward Trophy.
The 84th All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX Sports, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS, and worldwide by partners in more than 200 countries via MLB International's independent feed. ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide national radio coverage of the All-Star Game. MLB Network and SiriusXM also will also provide comprehensive All-Star Week coverage.

This is unacceptable, scary and if true, dangerously corrupt. If true, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and his Director of Secret Service Mark Sullivan should be immediately called before Congress to testify. And I mean IMMEDIATELY, as in today, as in right now.
Americans should ask - what would Bush, Paulson and friends have to gain if something were to happen to Obama, why this order to drop his security was given, and who gave it.
Obama is running against the entire military industrial complex, the Clintons, the Bushes, hundreds of years of racism, the insurance companies, Rove and Rush, and more than a handful of crazies. And yes, he's also running against the GOP establishment, led by Paulson and Bush.
Until he can have full faith in his Secret Service protectors, or better yet a private security force of his own, he needs to go into hiding. He is not safe, and nor are we.
Police concerned about order to stop screening
DALLAS -- Security details at Barack Obama's rally Wednesday stopped screening people for weapons at the front gates more than an hour before the Democratic presidential candidate took the stage at Reunion Arena.
The order to put down the metal detectors and stop checking purses and laptop bags came as a surprise to several Dallas police officers who said they believed it was a lapse in security.
Dallas Deputy Police Chief T.W. Lawrence, head of the Police Department's homeland security and special operations divisions, said the order -- apparently made by the U.S. Secret Service -- was meant to speed up the long lines outside and fill the arena's vacant seats before Obama came on.

The only thing that can stop Barack Obama from being the next President of the United States might be Henry Paulson and the US Secret Service

Drudge is leading with the Secret Service / Obama story I commented on yesterday. Other news outlets have picked it up as well.
Let me make sure I have this straight, k? The TSA won't allow people to carry bottled water, pool cues, or snow globes (huh?) through an airport security checkpoint. But yet, the Secret Service orders police to not screen people for weapons at an event held by the presumptive Democratic nominee for president?
All together now.
How can this possibly happen in this day and age in America? The government has spent the last 6 years telling us that terrorists are going get us unless we surrender our civil liberties for greater security. And by and large, we have stood by passively and watched as they took them from us, one by one. But when it comes to protecting a very high profile member of the opposition party, they are suddenly lax and carefree with security?
This evokes memories of the Bhutto assassination. How could it not? She was a popular member of the opposition party, who was assassinated because of lax security due to meddling by the ruling party.

HUndred of years of racism? WTF dude, you hanging out with Al Sharpton over there in jolly old England?
Running agaisnt insurance cos? You forgot phramas too. Great let's run the pharmas out of business. We'll get the great Barack to come up with new drugs.
Let's get rid of the military too. We'll use 'hope and change' to guard ourselves from crazies out there.

Keith -- good for you for catching this one. It reflects on the 1) terrorism threats when politically convenient and advantageous meme for this administration; and 2) something fishy regarding Obama's protection by our SS.
When Obama talks change, I hear "throw the bums out" if they're not willing to work to help change direction of US.
p.s. I love the boldness of "anon" posters who hate Obama and yet stamp no name on their comments. They shout their opinions from dark dank corner.

You would think that they would be more careful in Dallas.
Had the worst case happened, this would have been fodder for every conspiracy theorist for the next 50 years.
Not only is this a screw-up, it will now create more work for the Secret Service, as every nut job in the country sees their opportunity to get in the history books.
Unbelievably short sighted.
- February 22, 2008 3:32 PM
You're grasping at straws here
If long lines where stopping people from seeing Obama, the police/SS would get blamed for delaying him or not allowing enough people at the rally. They are in a no win situation.

RE: DALLAS -- Security details at Barack Obama's rally Wednesday stopped screening people for weapons at the front gates more than an hour before the Democratic presidential candidate took the stage at Reunion Arena.
Is it possible that the ruling elite have become so callous that they no longer fear reprisal for their crimes? Will they really commit a politically-motivated hate crime in broad daylight?
This is not wild speculation.
Hillary Clinton may have let the cat out of the bag when she made this thinly veiled threat concerning Obama: "Tell him to meet me in Texas — we're ready."
Let's parade in Dallas, the City of Hate!
(But be especially careful of that unusual curve when turning from Houston onto Elm.)
Is it possible that this scenario might really play out? Here? In America? The home of the brave and the land of the free?
If so, millions of people would immediately suspect the truth behind this event. The riots to follow would result in martial law being imposed in many large cities.
As usual, terrorists would be blamed for the incident.
Hillary Clinton would then make a series of rousing law and order speeches which would propel her into the White House with authority and power previously unknown to any former US president.

You moron, the Secret Service has always been part of the US Treasury. Their original job was fighting counterfeiting.
- February 22, 2008 4:22 PM
Please loosen the tin foil, it's cutting off the circulation to your brains.
The story itself gave the reason for the dropping of the weapons check. An Obama staffer probably saw that the arena wouldn't fill up in time for the TELEVISION start time, so they've got to fill the place up. Can't have our Dear Leader leader seen in front of an empty arena on national television, now can we?
Don't ascribe actions to a conspiracy when stupidity will suffice.

(what movie was that from?)
In reality his stage is surrounded by secret service. A gunman would have to be 20-30 feet away and be a good shot to hit him with a pistol. It's not like it's a mosh pit.
A rifle would be a lot more accurate but he'd have to put the thing together and it would be kind of obvious. Otherwise he'd be walking in with a guitar case to hide the rifle.
But it does seem like poor judgement. If something did happen to him...how do you live it down?

They saw it work in Pakistan. Assassination in front of 10,000 people. And somehow nobody exactly knows who or how "They" did it.
Suppose you were Karl Rove. And you needed to keep the GOP in power, no matter what.
the tinfoil scenario:
Barack Obama, Democratic nominee is assassinated 3-4 weeks before the election. Black neighborhoods riot like it's 1968. Always good for GOP votes.
CA and NY are declared to be "in rebellion", Bush---with legal support from DOJ lackeys---suspends habeus corpus. Election happens with Obama still on ballot, and Dems promising a boring 'healing' candidate, e.g. VP candidate Richardson.
Bush and DOJ declare CA and NY electoral votes to be invalid being downgraded from states to "territories", refuse to seat electors, automatic win for GOP.
Cheney sworn in to presidency immediately by fawning Supreme Court chief ""Justice"" Roberts. along with VP Hucksterbee. Promises to crack down on "enemies, foreign and domestic".
- February 22, 2008 6:13 PM
Anyone that thinks that the Bush Crime Family will give up power on 01/20/2009 is a fool.
American fools need to back off their video games, chasing Brittany's panties, eating "fast" poision food, and wake up. We do not live in a free country, we live in a Facist nation. We are not a nation of laws, we are a nation of Christianist-Jihadist Theocratic militants. We are serfs on a plantations, and not if, but when the Establishment decides that it is time to bury or lynch Obama, the nation will have it's head so far shoved up Lindsy Lohan's ass that they will not even be aware.
My suggestion is, like the Pilgrims, get on a boat or a plane and find yourself a free country, a nation of laws, where your wive's won't be felt up at airports, beaten and tazzed by cops, or your kids forced anti-depressant suicidal-school-shooting making drugs.
Have a beer, watch some TV, and Trust Jesus, everyone will be fine....Long Live King Bush Forever...War Forever...do you really believe in American Democracy?

Obama has already stopped himself from winning. He's screwed himself because he's gone too far with this messianic "I'm Jesus" stuff and now the paid actors pretending to faint in the audience.
He's like a criminal who gets away with a few jobs, then starts to get bold and goes too far and gets caught. Obama has taken things too far with this cult messianic campaign strategy and his trying to resemble Jesus and now the paid actors fainting have pushed him over the edge.
Of course, he has presented zero solutions to the nation's problems, so hiring paid actors is al he has left.
- February 22, 2008 6:32 PM
The only reason Obama looks so damn good right now is because who he's running against. Hillary Clinton has to be one of the most unelectable, unliked dem candidates ever. Her schtick might work with the uppereastside liberal in Manhattan, but get her out of the liberal alamos, and she's truely hated. Obama is soo far to the left.
Either of them are going to get crushed worse than Kerry did in the general election. And why? Because the swing voters, especially the southern ones, will not go for Hitlery or Hussien Obama. They will vote McCain this time.

I don't want to believe that this was intentional. He is an obvious target for propagators of hate. Killing him (or any popular candidate) could touch off a civil war. You wouldn't see a lapse like that if KADDAFI was visiting the US.
Of course, the intelligence community didn't see the fall of the Soviet Union coming, so maybe it's just mind-boggling incompetence.
- February 22, 2008 6:42 PM
Did this order come from Dick Cheney??? Where was Karl Rove yesterday? We need to seriously look at the Bhutto Assasination as well as JFK, MLK and realize what the republican party is up to. If Hillary concedes to Obama then all the GOP has to do is take Obama out to put there McCain in there and keep the war going...AND DONT FORGET THAT OBAMA PROMISES TO ROLL BACK THE TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH
All they have to do is have a security lapse one bullet from say a Blackwater sniper and either blame it on the Clinton campaign which would allow arresting Hillary just like Bhutto under enemy combatant or simply find some mental crazy like McVey to use as a scapegoat. Bush and McCain and the rest of the thugs would give there condolences bullshit on TV then riots would break out then next up Martial Law and BushCo remains puppet governemt for the Military Industrial Complex

Yeah the SS is purposely going to allow Obama to get killed. So then we will have riots all over the land. And Bush can then declare martial law and like you know man become like king and stuff man. Yeah man it's true, it's all true, I read it on the internet and so it has to be true man.

"When Obama talks change, I hear "throw the bums out" if they're not willing to work to help change direction of US."
Yes, that's right - you hear exactly what you want to hear, while Obama said nothing of the sort and commmited himself to nothing. You are a perfect exemplification of the hystericals embracing Obama.
"p.s. I love the boldness of "anon" posters who hate Obama and yet stamp no name on their comments. They shout their opinions from dark dank corner."
Pretty funny for someone who posted as anonymous! LOL

Yet another dailykook. The dailykooks were predicting that the 2004 election would be cancelled by a faked terror attack. When it wasn't and they lost, they claimed it was "stolen" again.
- February 22, 2008 10:32 PM
They saw it work in Pakistan. Assassination in front of 10,000 people. And somehow nobody exactly knows who or how "They" did it.
They know exactly who did it but the dailykooks won't accept anything less than a government conspiracy.
These are the same dialykooks who believe MLK was assasinated in a CIA-FBI-military-KKK-Mafia-NSA conspiracy like they saw in the movies by Oliver Stoned. Only a dailykook would dream up of such a conspiracy. If you were to kill someone, why would you want to get everyone in the world involved in your secret?

The most appropriate scenario for the shady group (mix of rogue CIA-Mossad-MI-6 agents + Skull & Bones, etc) carry this attempt on Obama is to use one of those brainswashed CIA lab rats, but of Muslim origin, so they can keep on making trillions with the phony terror threat and boogeyman.
If the shady groups picks a racist scenario, there'll be too many riots across the country and won't do any good to the phony terror thing that helps them to make money. So they'll pick a Muslim to add fuel to the phony war on terror they invented in order to transfer trillions from taxpayer money into their pockets.
They may also come up with a similar plan used on 9-11. Some undercover rogue agent from the shady group may infiltrate some dumb Al-Qaeda cell in Europe, for instance, and push a pre-arranged/pre-financed plan to kill Obama in the US. Like happened on 9-11, decent agents from the intelligence community, who usually are monitoring this Al-Qaeda cells close, will receive orders from some obscure superiors (members of the shady group who made their way into sensitive areas of the government) to let the cell get into the US and be free for a while. Easy as pie.
Then, the shady group, along with its corrupt mainstream media (i.e., Chris Matthews, Anderson Cooper, Faux News, Tim Russert, Hannity, Glen Beck, O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, etc) will all receive the fax with instructions to blame the Muslim cell, and they will play it on TV to death until the sheep watching gets into that American zoombie state. You know the American sheeple will certainly buy it because they are a bunch of retards, just like some posters here.
Trillions of dollars are a good incentive to kill ANYONE, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.

I think you stick to Housing and forget about politics. You dont know your ass from your head in politics. Obama will never be elected because:
1. He has no experience.
2. All he did was sell books instead of making some policy in the Senate.
3. One of the highest absentee record in Senate.
4. All he does is promote brand Obama so he can sell more books and charge big fees for his speeches.
5. He is not in it to do some major policy changes or do something useful for any but himself.
6. All his speehces sound like he is naive about real problems facing the country.
7. He has dreams, so do I. It means nothing. All his speeches are full of hot air with no basis in reality or any realistic solutions.
8. His speeches are good for immature kids and immature adults like you.
9. He is not capable of making tough decisions. He is like a preacher, talks for hours but says nothing, absolutely nothing.
on and on..... too long a list why he is unfit even for a Senator let alone for a president.

You guys are so naive. Don't worry, Keith, your candidate Obama is safe and the war will go on:
WASHINGTON DC -- Barack Obama's top economics adviser is a member of the super-secret Skull & Bones society of Yale University, of which George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and John Kerry are also members.
By adding the infamous Skull & Bones secret society to his campaign roster, Obama, who bills himself as the candidate of change and hope, has attained a prefect trifecta of oligarchical and financier establishment backing for his attempt to seize the nomination of the Democratic Party for 2008. Obama's main overall image adviser and foreign policy adviser is Zbigniew Brzezinski, the co-founder of David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission, and the mastermind of the disastrous Carter administration. Obama's wife Michelle is reputed to be closely linked to the Council on Foreign Relations. Behind the utopian platitudes dished up by the Illinois senator, the face of the Wall Street money elite comes into clearer and clearer focus.

The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind," he says.

>You all didn't think the >Military Industrial >Complex was just going >to let Obama stop the >war did you?
The question that one must ask him or her self must be the following below.
1.) The United States of America will have invested approximately 2 trillion dollars by the end of this war. Is it safe to say that they will allow someone like Obama to just come in and end this war, and allow two trillion dollars to be flushed down the toilet along with the vast amount of Iraqi Oil(Peak Oil is here folks, hence, the reason why we attacked Iraq) and in doing so leave a country in turmoil like Iraq in the hands of tribes and terrorist, along with 3000+ soldiers that have already perished?
I think we all know the answer to this, I think not. Peak Oil is here folks and that means that the world economies are in a decline because of it. Unfortunately in order for this Great American Empire to sustain it self it must control vast amounts of Oil, without it America is doomed and many at the top(Bush's Base) know it.
Do you think these people will allow a Black Man like Obama to stop this war just because his running for president.
I think Obama is the right man for this country to be president but he is in danger because of his ideas and because of the top hierarchy that he threatens to topple.
Obama is in danger and he must protect himself , Keith is right!
- February 23, 2008 2:04 AM
How come we see Hillary's mother on stage but not BHO's? Is he embaressed by her?
She's dead, so she's unable to appear.
I recently attended a rally with Michelle Obama in SLC and there was no security. I was a bit surprised. Security is something they have thought about. Mrs. Obama even mentioned it in her speech.
I hope this country has passed that kind of violence in politics now.

You know there are a lot of people in America walking the streets that are off their medication. Others, like the guy who followed Reagan to "let Jody Foster know who he was" before he fired the shots. Then there are the obsessed people like Lee Harvey Oswald, who want to make a dent in History.
Is the implication here that because Dr. King was killed, and Bobby Kennedy was killed then the next true "hope" candidate will be killed? Someone who cares for the common person?
Already we are lining up stories and mythology to prepare for the worst. The Secret Service "relaxed" security. That is Dr. King stuff. There was a book out some time ago "Did the FBI Kill Martin Luther King?" This must stop! We need to stop it now!
Nip this nonsense in the bud. People are crossing ethnic lines on this one and age lines, and every kind of line. Don't feed some nut or give him or her ideas. Drop the subject and don't bring it up. Some nut will think it's a signal to make himself important.

Remember when I told you all that the corrupt mainstream media (i.e., Chris Matthews, Tim Russert, Anderson Cooper, Glen Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, etc), would slowly shift their constant daily bashing from Hillary to Obama, after their plan of getting Hillary out was achieved?
Here's Chris Matthews talking about Obama, as his corrupt Hardbal program shows the image of Osama Bin Laden:
Folks, there's no apology for this, as the TV network studios are full of producers and managers who control these programs as it broadcasts life, and with the 30 seconds delay to correct mistakes. There's no "mistake" here. It's a deliberate plan by the shady group controlling everything, including the media and the Fed.
There's no coincidence about oil @ $100 / barrel after you voted two oil men into the White House. Stop believing in "coincidences".
You better wake up because the shady group is playing you all for a fool. Don't pay attention to some disinformation agents posting here either, who work out of a desk in Washington, always trying to convince you otherwise. They get paid to spread the Republican Corporate Fascism on the "internets" all day.
Don't you find interesting how the mainstream media worked so hard last week to make that MCcain scandal go away fast? For instance, one of the arguments by bootlicker Anderson Cooper was that the McCain's case was at least 8 years old. Like it was old news that shouldn't be brought up.
Well, what about the constant hammering by the corrupt mainstream media during the Swift Boat case, which was an event that occurred more than 30 years ago? The corrupt mainstream media, that works as bootlicker for the Republican Corporate Fascists, didn't think that more than three decades were a factor then, as they bashed Kerry day and night for months.
So I want you to start paying attention to all these details and start adding them up. There'll be bootlickers coming here to spread lies, as the agents of disinformation they are, but don't pay attention and keep observing how these Fascists operate and constantly try to play you for a fool, in order to steal your money and your liberties.

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. – Authorities in suburban Detroit say a police sergeant was hurt when a drunken driving suspect struck his patrol car, sending him to the hospital.
The sergeant was stopped at a red light on Metro Parkway near Dodge Park Road, around 4:15 a.m. Sunday.
A driver approached the light and tried to drive between the officer's car and another car that was also stopped. The driver hit both cars.
Police say the driver and passengers then tried to switch places. Both occupants in the car, a man and woman, were taken into custody.
The officer injured his head during the accident and was transported to Henry Ford Hospital where he was later released.
The 47-year-old woman driving the other car hit by the suspect, declined treatment for wrist pain.

Detail from ESSAM, Drone Campaign Poster (2012).
If the epoch of a technology is signaled by the simultaneous appearance of new potential uses and looming ethical questions, then without a doubt we've entered the age of the drone. In mid-October, individuals from the drone industry, aviation policymakers, lawyers, engineers, makers, activists, and artists gathered at the first Drone and Aerial Robotics Conference (DARC) in New York City to draw together the swarm of questions and possibilities that this technology engenders.
Defining "drone" is no small part of the problem. Those who work in the industry shy away from the "d-word for many reasons, not least of which is the image of the "drone strike." The US government is using the more innocuous acronyms of UAV (unmanned/unpiloted aerial vehicle) or RPA (remotely piloted aircraft) to simply evoke the technology's long-accepted use as surveillance tools—with which to guide other weapon strikes. But an acronym makes for crappy branding, and it seems the word drone is here to stay.

The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) is a consortium which collectively develops and maintains a standard for the representation of texts in digital form. Its chief deliverable is a set of Guidelines which specify encoding methods for machine-readable texts, chiefly in the humanities, social sciences and linguistics. Since 1994, the TEI Guidelines have been widely used by libraries, museums, publishers, and individual scholars to present texts for online research, teaching, and preservation. In addition to the Guidelines themselves, the Consortium provides a variety of resources and training events for learning TEI, information on projects using the TEI, a bibliography of TEI-related publications, and software developed for or adapted to the TEI.
The TEI Consortium is a nonprofit membership organization composed of academic institutions, research projects, and individual scholars from around the world. Members contribute financially to the Consortium and elect representatives to its Council and Board of Directors. In commemoration of the TEI community's 30th anniversary, it was awarded the 2017 Antonio Zampolli Prize from the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations.
Want to become active in the TEI community? Become a TEI Member, join a special interest group, sign up for the TEI-L mailing list, and come to our annual conferences and members' meetings.

Derke is a miracle man. He has a wonderful wife and two children. But when disaster strikes and in a single day he loses everything that means anything to him—Derke's faith is severely shaken. Persuaded to become a necromancer by one of the most powerful necromancer's there is, Derke finds himself traveling deeper and deeper into the realm of darkness that was so loathsome to him when he was a miracle man. With the help of a dwarvan priest can he find his way back to God again? Will he ever learn that though bad things may happen…God still loves him?
This was one of the most bizarre books I have ever read. Not that it wasn't interesting. It was certainly that! It was just bizarre and sometimes creepy as well. In fact, I would call the first half of the book creepy. Rebirths starts out with a grieving Derke who is persuaded the day of his tragedy to come train as a necromancer. I didn't think that to be very realistic. Usually, spiritual darkness is not a conscience decision; it's more insidious and subtle. And where Derke was concerned it just wasn't very believable. He chose to give himself over to evil much too quickly. But—other than that—there seemed to be no great flaws in the plot of the book.
This book has frankens, vampires, ghouls, skeletons, and zombies in it. In fact, Derke himself became a skeleton for a good portion of the book! I just thought that was supremely weird. However, the battle between good and evil is wonderfully portrayed—perhaps even enhanced by the bizarre creatures and circumstances in it.
There is a little bit of romance in it—which was just enough to relieve the reader of the darkness beforehand. Also, just to mention this, the front cover describes exactly what the plot of the book is about. I was impressed by that.
This book is written from a Catholic's point of view. I'm not Catholic, but I didn't mind since the book described how it is possible for God to save you from your sins in vivid detail. But there was one point near the end which I disagreed with. Derke had just killed someone—out of self-defense but also out of revenge. He asked his priest friend to shrive him. The priest gave him a penalty of 40 days of fasting lunch and had him pay an amount of money to the church. This was unnecessary. Derke's sins had already been paid for by the blood of Christ. If we sin, then we don't have to pay for that sin because Jesus already paid the ultimate sacrifice. By doing this Derke was saying that Jesus sacrifice was not good enough and that more still had to be done in order for Derke's sins to be covered completely. We may suffer the consequences of our sin here on earth but we don't have to do good in order to make up for that sin. Jesus has already paid the cost.
I give Rebirths 3 out of 5 stars. I believe that teenagers would probably like reading this. Especially if the enjoy reading about zombies and vampires and things like that.

(Pocket-lint) - The daddy of the compact cameras Nikon has announced today is the Coolpix P7700 (which we brought you leaked pictures of a few days back). It's a mighty model in features but small enough to carry in a pocket.
Headline features include a fast, fixed f/2.0-4.0 Nikkor 7.1x optical zoom lens, 1/1.7-inch 12-megapixel CMOS sensor, lens shift vibration reduction, the ability to shoot RAW files, Full HD video recording with surround sound, and a 3-inch 921k dot vari-angle LCD monitor.
The Nikon Coolpix P7700 also offers manual ISO settings from 80 to 6400. There are a number of in-camera picture controls; you can adjust the sharpness or colour balance before even shooting (for all modes - P/S/A/M), and shortcuts for settings can be stored in two custom picture controls modes.
Burst options include three different continuous mode rates of 8 frames per second (for up to 6 frames), 4 fps (for up to 6 frames) and 1 fps (for up to 30 frames).
There are several different effects and filters that can be added to shots, including painting - to make images look as if they were, you know, painted - and selective colour, whereby the camera makes the image monochrome apart from the one colour chosen.
Eye-Fi X2 (or later) cards are supported for wireless transfer of images. And there are a number of accessories with which the P7700 will be compatible, including Nikon's own speedlight flash units, the ML-L3 remote control for remote shutter release, 40.5 mm filters, the MC-DC2 Remote Cord and the GP-1 GPS unit.
Available in black, the Nikon Coolpix P7700 will be out on 27 September for £499.99.

During the fight, Rousey shouted at referee Steve Mazzagatti that D'Alelio had verbally tapped from an armbar, while D'Alelio claims that she was only screaming in agony.
Rousey will be facing Canadian striker Julia Budd (2-1), who most recently outpointed Germaine de Randamie at Strikeforce Challengers 16, but is perhaps more famous for getting dummied by Amanda Nunes. No other bouts for Strikeforce's November card have been announced yet.

Even without the prompting of Lord Justice Leveson, we journalists never stop talking about our work nowadays. Why do we do what we do? Are we doing it correctly? What future do we face?
Four of the leading organisers and hosts for such talks, debates and discussions are the revitalised London Press Club, the energetic Media Society, the ever-reliable Frontline Club and City University London (where I teach).
These events are popular too. They attract a mix of veterans, working journalists and would-be journalists. And they are treated seriously within the industry. For example, a Media Society panel discussion last week about local journalism was attended by three chief executives of regional publishing groups.
So I'm delighted to publicise the latest crop of upcoming events. Get your diaries out now...
Press Club: Dinsmore breakfast and women in media forum
David Dinsmore has been the most outgoing Sun editor since it was launched in its present form in 1969. Now he will be interviewed, by Steve Hewlett, at a special breakfast at the ICA on 5 November.
There is much for him to talk about, from Ed Miliband's call to remove Page 3, the introduction of the paper's online paywall and the relaunch of the Sun on Sunday. Oh yes, and that business about press regulation.
As the Press Club blurb says: "It's unmissable for anyone interested in journalism's past, present or future."
Breakfast begins at 8.30am, and to reserve a place you must email firstname.lastname@example.com. Priority will be given to Press Club members, who can attend for free. Remaining spaces will be allocated to non-members for a £10 fee.
On 19 November, the Press Club - in company with the Huffington Post and the London Evening Standard - will host a women in media forum at the Stationers and Newspapermakers' Hall.
Anne McElvoy will chair a panel that will include Standard editor Sarah Sands, HuffPo UK editor-in-chief Carla Buzasi, Sky News presenter Kay Burley and the Independent on Sunday's editor, Lisa Markwell.
The discussion kicks off at 6.45pm (doors open at 6.15) and it is necessary to reserve a place by emailing email@example.com, with priority given to Press Club members,
Media Society: David Leigh in conversation about investigative journalism
A Media Society event is being devoted to David Leigh, who I described as the doyen of investigative journalists when he stepped down from his Guardian staff role earlier this year.
Leigh will be interviewed about his 43-year journalistic career, the ethics of journalism and the future of investigative journalism by Phil Harding, the former senior BBC executive.
Leigh certainly has a lot to talk about, having been involved in some of the biggest newspaper scoops. They include the revelation of improper contacts between Saudi Arabian arms dealers and the former Conservative minister, Jonathan Aitken, which led to Aitken being jailed for perjury.
Then there was the exposure of secret bribery payments by the arms company BAE and the dumping of toxic waste in the Ivory Coast by the oil firm Trafigura.
The award-winning Leigh, as The Guardian's investigations editor, was also responsible for handling the Wikileaks exposures.
David Leigh in conversation will take place at the Adam Street Private Members Club, off The Strand in London, on 14 November from 6.30pm. To book go to eventbrite.co.uk. Media Society members, £10; non-members, £15; and students need only pay £5.
City University: Andrew Norfolk, in defence of journalism
Andrew Norfolk, chief investigative reporter at The Times, won the 2012 Orwell prize and the Paul Foot award for his work in exposing the targeting, grooming and sexual exploitation of teenage girls.
He spent two years investigating gangs who preyed on vulnerable girls, and the failures of state agencies to protect them and to prosecute the offenders.
His articles prompted two government-ordered inquiries, a parliamentary inquiry and a new national action plan on child sexual exploitation.
Norfolk will deliver a lecture entitled "In defence of journalism" on 6 November at City's Oliver Thompson theatre, beginning at 6.30pm (doors open 6pm). He will be introduced by Professor Heather Brooke.
A drinks reception will follow at about 7.30pm. To book a place, go here.
Frontline Club: Harry Evans, Glenn Greenwald and Jon Snow
The club's annual awards evening, on 24 October (next Thursday), will feature a keynote speech by former Sunday Times editor Harry Evans and a video message from Guardian reporter Glenn Greenwald. It will be hosted by Channel 4 News's Jon Snow.
Evans needs no introduction. Greenwald, lest it has slipped your mind, was responsible for revealing the extensive surveillance conducted by the America's National Security Agency after working with whistleblower Edward Snowden.
STOP PRESS: The tickets, which I said in my original posting cost £60 each, have just been declared free of charge! To book, go here.

Perfect Prop
For Baby Photos
Photo credit: Tetra Images — Jessica Peterson/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
There are many ways to keep track of how far along you are during your pregnancy, and how old your baby is as she grows. However, it really isn't much easier — or cuter — than using Sticky Bellies, which are adorable, round stickers that come in a variety of designs. Apply to your baby's onesie (or your own growing belly) and start snapping away, and after a year, you have a sweet collection of photos to look back on.
Sticky Bellies basics
Sticky Bellies make keeping track of milestones simple. The stickers are not only super cute, they're unobtrusive — your baby likely won't even notice that he is wearing one. They are high-quality and affix easily without leaving a residue on your baby's adorable clothes, and better yet, if your first photo shoot doesn't go as planned, you can place the sticker back on the wax backing paper and try again another day (of course, the more you do this, the less sticky it becomes).
They come in boyish designs and girly designs, and some are definitely suitable for both boys as well as girls, such as the Nifty Neutrals pack (Sticky Bellies, $14 each pack). You can also document Baby's first holidays with a Baby's First Holiday sticker pack (Sticky Bellies, $14).
Whether you're looking to track your own pregnancy or seeking the perfect baby shower gift, you'll definitely want to check out Sticky Bellies.

Selecting the right material lifting equipment for the job type:Bottle jacks and axle stands: A bottle jack, also called a piston jack, is for automotive lifting, designed to raise vehicles off the ground.
- While a bottle jack may provide temporary support, theyre primarily lifting devices
- Axle stands should be used as more reliable vehicle supports while maintenance or repair is carried out
- Theyre primarily designed around worker safety - they ensure that weights can be conveyed at an appropriate height, and reduce the need for manual heavy lifting
- Double scissor tables provide higher lifting than single scissor versions, while tandem scissor lift tables are for very long items. Mobile lift tables have braked wheels
- Typically used for glass, ceramics, synthetic panels, coated wood panels, stainless steel sheet or marble
- They work by attaching 1-3+ suction cups to a flat surface area
- They should not be used to bear loads for extended periods - use a proper support once the item has been lifted clear of the ground
- Always be aware of a trolley jacks rated weight limit, and check/top up oil levels in the main cylinder regularly
- Always be mindful of working load limit (absolute maximum) and safe working load limit (maximum for optimal product longevity)
- Colour coding usually denotes the max tonnage a sling or strap is rated to carry

LETTER- Govt. goons would love Neanderthals
I enjoyed Ronald Bailey's [March 5] essay, "Neanderthal rights: Payback for our ancestors' genocide of them?"
He informs us, raises questions, and finally hits us with his comedic conclusion that we consider cloning these distant relatives, dodging ethical issues and "bring them back into our world." Wow, would they be astonished, probably shocked!
Bailey's ending surprises us, as he knows that surprise is one of the hallmarks of comedy. However, Bailey needs to be careful– some demented scientist just might think he's serious and take him up on the ludicrous scheme. A multinational corporation could easily get a scientist for hire to do it and no doubt make billions. After all, most of these corporations have little problem with morality or ethics.
Or the US government could seize upon this. It could help pay off the national debt, or the Neanderthals could be made to fight our endless wars. Great ideas, since the crooks, idiots, and crooked idiots in government also are not hindered by moral concerns.
We all need a good laugh in these tough times. Thanks, Bailey.
