Maggie McKay shares memories of KFWB
I had a chance to speak with anchor Maggie McKay after she helped sign off the news format on KFWB (980 AM) that she had been part of for almost a decade.First off, a correction. I am not sure how I botched this, but to set the record straight, it was not Michael Shappee with McKay during the final night, it was Michael Knight. As McKay explained, "Shappee was on only for a couple of minutes talking about his memories, but it was actually Michael Knight the last two...

Don Pardo got his start in radio; a demand to the FCC
Longtime NBC announcer Don Pardo, who passed away Aug. 18 at the age of 96, was perhaps best known for his television work on such shows as "Saturday Night Live" and the original version of "Jeopardy!" with Art Fleming as host.But he began his broadcasting career, almost by accident, in radio. You see, he wasn't supposed to be an announcer. He was supposed to be a baker, like his father, and take over the family business. Or a dentist. Or an actor in...

33 years ago, MTV launched a revolution on the airwaves
It was 33 years ago when MTV made its debut on cable systems across America — Aug. 1, 1981, to be exact.For those under 40, MTV once played what were called "music videos." Hosted by VJs Alan Hunter, Mark Goodman, Nina Blackwood, Martha Quinn (all of whom can be found on SiriusXM's " '80s on 8" Channel 8) and the late, great J.J.

KFWB being replaced with CBS Sports Radio
There have been rumors of a change to KFWB (980 AM) for a long time, Owner CBS has an all-sports syndicated format with no Los Angeles home — though you can hear it on an HD digital radio if you go to 93.1 HD2 — and KFWB was one of a handful of stations rumored to pick up the format if CBS management ever wanted to put it on a station more people could hear.If you haven't heard CBS Sports Radio on the HD signal, I can give you a one-word summary: awful.

Sunnovations developed a new Solar Hot Water (SHW) system. It uses solar thermal energy to create fluid circulation, which transfers heat from the collectors to the tank (which is located up to 33 feet below the collectors). The Sunnovations pump unit is directly connected to the collector(s) and is fully passive (i.e. no electric pumps or moving parts). As soon as the sun warms up the fluid in the collectors, the system starts circulation. The maximum temperature and pressure in the system are passively limited - making it a very safe system.
The circulation is based on the geyser pumping effect (also known as bubble pump). The solar heat on the collectors causes circulation through solar loop (i.e. the pipe runs and heat exchanger) that in turn transfers heat to water in the tank. The flow rate is adaptive to the solar radiation (insolation) to achieve optimal system efficiency.
Detailed explanation
1) Steam bubbles are formed once the fluid in the collector riser reaches its boiling point. The initial boiling point temperature is low (~100 F) because the system operates under a vacuum.
2) The rapid volume expansion of the bubbles force hot fluid up through the exit tube to a higher level (this is the geyser pumping effect).
3) This causes a difference in fluid levels. The principle of a fluid gravity balance causes circulation through the solar loop. Heat is transferred to the solar storage tank and cool fluid returns to the pump unit.
4) The cool fluid keeps a low dew point, which maintains a low pressure (vacuum) in the system. This maintains low temperature operation.
5) Condensation of steam preheats fluid returning to the collector - effectively recovering the energy used for pumping.
6) The pressure in the system adapts to increased insolation. This results in adaptive flow rate and operating temperature.
Temperature Limiting and Overheat protection Operation and Automatic Vacuum Restore System
The Sunnovations system is passively temperature limited - so the storage tank can never overheat (max 165 F). This also makes the system safe for use of PEX tubing.
The Sunnovations system has an unique passive overheat protection system - which purges all fluid from the collectors to avoid high temperature & high pressure. This protects the glycol from excessive temperatures which is the main cause for glycol breakdown (which turns acidic and causes leaks - a known problem in other closed loop glycol systems).
Another unique feature of the Sunnovations system is that is automatically (and passively) restores/revitalizes the vacuum to ensure optimal performance.
The heat transfer fluid offers freeze protection to -30C/-22F.

I've written a briefing for World Politics Review trying to make sense of what happened at the meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) earlier this month, which ended in a stalemate and was what Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi called one of the worst meetings he had ever attended. The article is by subscription, so I will just briefly summarize the key arguments I make in the piece.
In it, I argue that OPEC's failure to agree on raising production output despite rocketing oil prices and worries about a double-dip recession is due to an interaction of three factors: one old and two new. The first is the usual divide among governments of oil producing states: with Iran and Venezuela wanting higher oil prices to sustain their economies after years of mismanagement; and Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states wanting to keep prices low to keep demand for oil afloat in the longer term.
But, in my view, two other geopolitical factors ensured that this usual debate did not find a middle ground. The first is the fact that the Arab Spring has intensified the rivalry between Shiite Iran and the Sunni Persian Gulf States who fear the rise of Persian power in the region, which has been playing out in Bahrain and to a certain extent in Libya.
The second has to do more with Iranian politics. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose uneasy relationship with the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamanei has soured in recent months, has stepped up his anti-Israeli rhetoric and defiance about Iran's nuclear program, and was trying to use Iran's assumption of OPEC's rotating presidency as an opportunity for more grandstanding. Mr. Ahmadinejad actually fired the former oil minister and initially took the position for himself, only to have it declared unconstitutional. He was then forced to select an ally Mohammad Aliabadi.
The broader point to emphasize is that events in the Middle East, which is still the main region from which the world gets most of its oil, have increased the role of geopolitics in the context of energy, with potentially profound consequences for oil supply and production. At a time when the world's demand for black gold is rising feverishly on the back of Indian and Chinese growth, that is something to be worried about.

Hey Good Buddy, Notice you have reach 2100 Days Mark Posting, Keep up the good work, Your Gas Buddy
The politically correct word for what they did is outsourcing.
A BIG CONGRATS on reaching the 3.5M milestone, sorry, no new car! That doesn't seem right! :( But, still truly magnificent! Keep leading the way for others to follow here in GasBuddyland! Others ahead of you have retired, so there is lots of room at the 4M milestone, and it looks like the top GBs are going for that 5M milestone and beyond before they retire, and you know they have been here almost from the start 13 years ago! Keep going, don't stop now! It's nice seeing you come back each day as I track your progress to that 4M milestone, there are only 129 GBs that reached 4M! Thanks buddy for your 9+ years of dedication here on GasBuddy! Keep those consecutive days going! Have a nice week! Ron
There is at least one number and one letter. And it is case sensitive- upper case.
My latest comment is in the HFSR thread. I think we have it solved. I had forgotten how annoyingly clever the challenge question was made to be.
What you need to type is in the instructions themselves.
Might as well introduce yourself in the Linux forum. You'll find friendly help there. I've told them what problem you struggle with on your Win8 computer. This is well trodden ground by now. Lots of other folks wanted to dual boot Windows with Linux. Since Win8, that has become a lot harder- yet quite doable if you know how. BTW that forum does not get into politics since a very divisive debate they had back on '04. Official policy is no politics- just friendly help. I can tell you that both sides of the political spectrum are well represented on the site- but they keep it upbeat and positive.
Are you running Firefox? How about NoScript- are you running that? If you prevent Scot's site from running javascript, it will not function right, probably won't let you past that test. Do you know how to set for Allow Scot's Forums in Noscript (if you have it)?
I think we all do the consecutive days thingy to get points.
Thanks for being my newest friend. I don't think he is on any chat group that I know of. He talks a lot.
I didn't know as Glenn doesn't post on our chat group.
Did you congratulate Glenn yet on his new convertible? He got it yesterday.

It's allergy and asthma season across the United States and for families even with insurance the cost of asthma medicines can be prohibitive. Asthma is often easily prevented and controlled with the right inhalable medicines but due to patents, FDA requirements and the free-market economy (in other countries the government sets the prices for the drugs) often families can't afford the medicines needed, according to The New York Times.
On Sunday The New York Times examined the high-cost of asthma medicines in America, which are extremely inexpensive in Europe. The article states that asthma is the most common chronic disease affecting about 40 million people in America of all ages.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the annual cost of asthma in the U.S. is more than $56 BILLION. The CDC reports there are more than 3,300 deaths from asthma often when patients skip or skimped on their meds.
"With its high prescription prices, the United States spends far more per capita on medicines than other developed countries. Drugs account for 10 percent of the country's $2.7 trillion annual health bill, even though the average American takes fewer prescription medicines than people in France or Canada, said Gerard Anderson, who studies medical pricing at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University…."
"Asthma inhalers, for example, are protected by strings of patents — for pumps, delivery systems and production processes — that are hard to skirt to make generic alternatives, even when the medicines they contain are old, as they almost all are…."
"Dr. Dana Goldman, the director of the Leonard D. Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics at the University of Southern California, said: "Producing these drugs is cheap. And yet we are paying very high prices." He added that because inhalers were so effective at keeping patients out of hospitals, most national health systems made sure they were free or inexpensive."
"But in the United States, even people with insurance coverage struggle. Lisa Solod, 57, a freelance writer in Georgia, uses her inhaler once a day, instead of twice, as usually prescribed, since her insurance does not cover her asthma medicines. John Aravosis, 49, a political blogger in Washington, buys a few Advair inhalers at $45 each during vacations in Paris, since his insurance caps prescription coverage at $1,500 per year. Sharon Bondroff, 68, an antiques dealer in Maine on Medicare, scrounges samples of Advair from local doctors. Ms. Bondroff remembers a time, not so long ago, when inhalers "were really cheap." The sticker shock for asthma patients began several years back when the federal government announced that it would require manufacturers of spray products to remove chlorofluorocarbon propellants because they harmed the environment. That meant new inhaler designs. And new patents. And skyrocketing prices."
We all have bad allergies and two of our kids are affected by asthma brought on by allergies. We have insurance that covers these medicines but I routinely drop $30 to $50 in copays for each inhaler, nose spray and eye drops.
I paid $90 for three different inhalers before we went to New Mexico for fall break because I knew the change in allergens, altitude and weather would affect the girls' breathing.
My Pataday prescription cost $50 copay for the tiniest bottle of allergy eye drops. My lovely allergist told me to go to Target and buy Zadiator. It's like $12, and actually works better for me. But there are no options like that for inhalers.
Do your kids suffer from allergies and asthma? Are you having a hard time paying the copays or for the medicine outright? How much do you spend on allergy and asthma medicines?

So you are upset at having to make up to $50 in copayments for your children's medication, yet have no trouble spending $20 on an ounce of wrinkle cream?
Damn you are selfish.

Most medications are outrageous if there isn't a generic. And of course it's frustrating when there simply isn't a generic to choose. Do you have an option for a mail order service or Costco? Our co-pays this year are the same for a 90-day supply at XpressScripts as a 30-day supply at a retail place.
We found out the other day our insurance next year is going to have a $7k deductible which means we'll be paying for all of our medical care out of pocket. I know I should be thankful that we don't have medical issues that will cost us more than $7k a year but it's still frustrating to pay crazy premiums and get nothing in return… I guess it's more like car insurance. [sigh] In trying to calculate how much to put into our HSA next year, I compared our Rx costs at XpressScripts (mail order) vs. Costco. Costco was actually cheaper or equivalent and you don't need a membership at Costco to use their pharmacy.
Oh, by the way, our premiums are essentially the same for next year for a HDHP with a $7k deductible as they are for this year on a $1,000 deductible PPO. Yah! I'm so excited for this change. [banging head on desk]

i don't have children but i have asthma. with insurance advair is a $35 co pay for me, without insurance it's $350; luckily singulair came off patent and is now a generic. singular generice with insurance is $10 copay, without insurance it's a $70. when i was without insurance while unemployed i called pharmacies to find out what the cost was for a 30 day draw of the generic for singulair. i was shocked that most pharmacies are $200/mo. kroger was $70/mo. also, i always ask my doctor for samples as they have so many samples. when i was unemployed for 7 mos, my doc gave me samples of advair and my rescue inhailer. one month i went without my asthma meds and ended up with a horrible lung and bronchial infection that i could hardly breathe. using the meds as prescribed is needed to remain healthy. also flu shot and pneumonia shot are always needed as well to keep on breathing.
@techmom – wow i didn't know you didn't need to be a member to use costco's pharmacy. thanks for info.

Jusst be glad to have insurance. Our boss put us on as contractors so we lost all benefits including our insurance. Just last week my hubby had slight eye infection. Went to the DR and paid $80 for the visit. The pharmacy charged $115 for a bottle of drops with litterally a few drop in it and $36 for the antibiotic so it cost us $231 plus a day of pay lost :(

Theresa, like Techmom says, see if you can get 90-day supplies thru mail-order. With my insurance if it is a medication that you order monthly we have to use the mail-order system. Works for me for the convenience and the prices. For the every-once-in-a-while meds, I check the prices against the pharmacy and then decide how I want to purchase and whether I need a 3 month's supply on hand. Since you probably want your asthma medication on hand you may want to check into the 90-day supply. Considering, too, that you have a lot of things on your plate it is one less thing you have to deal with. You can have the meds put on auto-refill and a credit card on file and presto! Meds come in the mail every 3 months. It has been a God-send for me with all the meds I take.
Also, you may want to see if your doctor has coupons. I know it is not the same but my dermatologist has coupons for every med that she prescribes that is very expensive. For example I got a med for $10 that would have had a $390 copay. (Clearly I would never have clear skin if it cost that much for a cream!!!) All I had to do was call and get a coupon activated. Some drug companies send out coupons and maybe doctors don't pass them out unless you ask for them. So you might want to check to see. A lot of commercials come on for a number of drugs that say you can get help paying for certain drugs if you cannot afford them. The ones you all take may be on "the list".

Theresa, did you know this about your current hometown? This news development makes the rural desert rats look tame…if you ask me, and of course, no one ever asks me.
"Phoenix, AZ is the kidnapping capital of the United States, second only worldwide to Mexico City."
Be Afraid, be VERY Afraid.

Sort of related…you can get pet meds at Costco and they are a LOT less expensive. They do not carry everything but can order it. I have been happy with their service. We are lucky to be related to a Pharmacist and he can check out what is the best option for meds. It has helped my husband a lot. I take NO prescription drugs yet. Not sure how long that will last :).

Blame the EPA for banning generic asthma inhalers, in order to "protect" the ozone.

We have a couple of friends who always get their meds outside the country while travelling and simply put them in their luggage and don't declare them.
MJG – we order our petmeds (nothing crazy, just Frontline and Heartguard) from a company in Australia. No Rx required and much cheaper.

jmb, Your employer can't just designate you as a contractor. That's against the law. There are some very specific rules around what constitutes a contractor. For instance, Have you worked for only this company for the last 13 montsh? Do you set your own hours or do they? Are you free to work for other companies? Do you use your own tools?

Shop around. Costco does NOT require membership to use their pharmacy. A friend of mine uses Costco for certain meds because it's cheaper. Good to know you found a sub. for the Pataday. My DH stopped using it because of the co-pay cost.

FYI…I LOVE Costco. I have an Executive Membership. Costs me $110.00 per year. I got back $94.00 in an annual rebate from my shopping. How CAN you not like it?

I prefer to pay $240 in copays and $240 to doctor ($480 out of pocket annual) than to pay to help insure the 18 million people that the government is forcing me to pay. Especially since I will still pay the $480 or more out of pocket PLUS an increase in my insurance rates.

What I find interesting is how changing locales affected your (and kiddos) allergies/asthma. I have allergies year round and went for a 2 week visit to Seattle and had no problems with it (and I was surprised at how many growing/blooming things I was exposed to daily). We also had a fire at our place in March (when things start blooming/growing) so we weren't living here during spring.

Jarvis, been here as office manager for 20 years. Even sign the company checks. Not something most contractors do for sure. Hours are reduced but still expected to be here at a certain time. I've talked to DOL since he's about to close the doors but they weren't any help. Just informed me that I didnt qualify for unemployment due to my contractor status.
October 16th, 2013

Misty, you won't have allergic reactions to things you haven't been exposed to previously, but if you have allergies, there's a good chance you would develop allergies those new things over time. My allergies in my current location were fairly mild the first year or two I lived here, but got worse over time. If you lived in Seattle for a couple of years, you'd probably get all sneezy again.

jmb, you may need to have a chat with a labor lawyer. Of course, once the labor lawyer has a chat with your employer, you probably won't have a job, either . . .

Parents ~ Grandparents ~ Early Childhood Educators ~ Medical Professionals ~ Parent Educators ~ Nannies ~ Foster Parents ~ Child Birth Classes ~ Adopting parents ~ Social Workers ~ Employers ~ Educators at all levels ~ Community Leaders ~ Program Coordinators ~ Policy Makers ~ Organization Presidents ~ Administrators ~ Service Clubs ~ College Students
Sample Presentation Topics
Brain Insights: Information Everyone Should Know
This workshop provides an overview of the basics of brain development. Through visual demonstrations you will gain inspiring insights as to how you can have a positive impact on the brain in the early years. With this invaluable understanding, ideas are also presented on how together we can spread the word in support of children!
Brain Development: It isn't complicated!
The human brain is an amazing and complex organ that allows each of us to think, feel and act. The brain systems that regulate those activities are largely shaped by experience. This presentation provides you with an easy to understand overview of brain basics from birth through adulthood. You will be inspired by how much more you understand about how the brain impacts behavior and learning in school and in everyday family life!
Creating Great Connections for Communities
Creating Great Connections™ combines research, experience, innovation, and expertise, to provide caring communities with solutions beyond what can be found anywhere else. Learn how easily your community can come together to become the one that has children with the best developed brains.
Attention to Relationships
Early interactions are critical to the base of self-regulation, resiliency, delayed gratification, executive function, relationships and behaviors throughout life. Did you know early relationships also affect learning? You will better understand the critical role secure attachment plays on the children in your life. It is essential that everyone understands the impact of early relationships and how it can best be achieved.
Ideas for developing rapport and trust with hard to reach parents can also be included in this presentation.
Pink or Blue? Gender Differences related to Learning
Only recently has it been realized that there are real physical differences between the male and female brain. Implications for how these differences can impact learning are included in this very fun and interesting presentation. Awareness of these differences creates the opportunity for you to have a clearer understanding and provide for the optimal development of both boys and girls brains.
Possible Effects of Poverty on Brain Development
Poverty can impede opportunity for children. It's a primary contributor to many risk factors that can affect brain development. While all children are vulnerable to things like inadequate nutrition, substance abuse, maternal depression, exposure to environmental toxins, trauma and abuse, poor quality daily care, and high levels of stress, a disproportionate number of children in low-income families face multiple risk factors, often several of them simultaneously. Your understanding can contribute to better opportunities for all children.
It Takes Attention to Change: The Brain, Behavior and Self Perception
ATTENTION! ATTENTION! The brain learns from what we pay attention to. This workshop looks at how the brain affects behavior. With the realizations you gain through this presentation you will learn eye opening ways to have a positive impact on behavior and self perception.
Play Every Day!
The brain NEEDS play! (Even as adults!) You will learn the importance of play related the brain. You will also gain ideas for creating fun interactive activities for children in everyday life. This workshop also provides information on the research that reveals why the brain benefits from nature.
Relationships Matter
Trauma, stress, abuse and neglect can have a long lasting effect. Through learning how these experiences affect a child's brain, you expand your awareness of the critical needs of children. You may also gain the realization and understanding of behaviors by children (and adults) in your life.

The Niccolinis originate from the Sirigatti family and adopted their name around 1250. The Sirigattis came from the Pesa valley. The first documents on this family relate to Arrigo son of Lucense. In 1208, Arrigo married Scarlata di Paganello. A document of 1233 shows that Arrigo Sirigatti owned three houses in the castle of Passignano and some land in the surroundings.
According to a family legend, Arrigo fought in the battle of Benevento in 1266, because of the courage he showed in this occasion and of the cat ("gatto" in Italian) on his shield, he was nicknamed "Sire del Gatto" (Lord of the Cat), from which the name Sirigatti derived.
The first of the family to move to Florence was Nicolino, son of Ruza of Arrigo, towards the end of the XIII century. It was after him that the family started being called Niccolini dei Sirigatti, then just Niccolini. Nicolino's descendants prospered as merchants. Lapo of Giovanni (1356-1429) was a wealthy citizen and an influent politician in republican Florence.
Otto son of Lapo of Giovanni (1410-1470) was a prominent political figure in his time. As an ally and strong supporter of Cosimo il Vecchio de'Medici, Ambassador for the Florentine republic and expert jurist, he contributed to establish the Medici's regime. His role and political influence are confirmed by the fact that his is the second name in the famous pact of 1 May 1449, in which 64 important Florentine citizens swore an oath of allegiance to Cosimo il Vecchio.
The Family's political and economical power was definitely consolidated by Agnolo son of Matteo (1502-1567) and by his son Giovanni (1544-1611). Agnolo was Cosimo I's right hand and was entrusted of the most delicate missions. Among these was defending the Grand Duke's hereditary rights against the claims of Margherita of Austria, daughter of the Emperor Charles V, and those of his cousin Caterina de'Medici, future Queen of France. A widower from 1550, Agnolo was rewarded with the Cardinal's hat and the Diocese of Pisa for his many services and long-lasting fidelity to Cosimo.
Fidelity to the Medicis had its final consecration in 1637, when Grand Duke Ferdinando II created Filippo di Giovanni (1586-1666) Marquess of Ponsacco and Camugliano.
This is an important date in the family history, as it represents the apex of a long period, during which the Niccolinis had always been near to the apex of power.
The figure of Antonio Niccolini (1701-1769) last child of Filippo, third Marquess of Ponsacco and Camugliano, also stands out in the family history. A man of many interests, after completing his studies under the supervision of Giuseppe Averani, he combined a great passion for literature with a growing curiosity towards other cultures, especially for the anglo-saxon world. He had an interesting life. Exiled from Tuscany in 1748, he travelled extensively. He kept constant epistolary contact with the most eminent personalities of his time in Italy and in Europe. His vast correspondence is still preserved in the Niccolini's archives.
An other important member of this family was Marchese Eugenio Niccolini di Camugliano, (1853-1939) who held various public offices, he was Lord Mayor of Prato and a Senator of the Kingdom of Italy. He is also remembered as a passionate hunter and wrote a famous book of shooting memoirs. In 1879, Eugenio Niccolini married Cristina Naldini, the last descendant of this other old Florentine patrician family. Her rich dowry included the Palazzo in Piazza del Duomo in Florence, that still belongs to the family.
The Naldinis originate from the Rinaldeschis, an old and powerful family coming from Prato, who settled in Florence between the XIII and the XIV centuries.
Rinaldino, or Naldino, son of Cione, separated from the Rinaldeschi family at the beginning of the XIV century. His descendants started calling themselves with their father's name as children of Rinaldino, or Naldino, from which came Naldini. The reason for this change in name are to be found in the political struggle among oligarchs and the lower class that marked Florentine history towards the end of the XIII century and terminated with the anti-oligarchic laws that denied political rights to the oldest and most powerful families, among which were the Rinaldeschis, thus excluding them from the government of the city. It was most likely in order to avoid suffering the consequences of such legislation, that Rinaldino and his descendants decided to separate from their original family, by changing their name into Naldini.
We have no news of Rinaldino, or Naldino, son of Cione Rinaldeschi, except that he was probably dead by 1375 and that he had several children. One of these, Piero was living in Prato in 1364 and was member of the Tanners' corporation in that city. Another son, Domenico, went to live in Florence and established a profitable trading activity there. From then on, the Naldinis were active as merchants and became one of the great Florentine trading families, with interests all over Italy and in many European cities. One of Naldino di Cione's descendants, Francesco di Domenico, spent most of his life in Lyon, where he assembled a huge fortune. Having died without children, he left everything to his cousin, Domenico di Per Giovanni, who also was a merchant in Florence and Toulouse. The two sons of Domenico di Per Giovanni, Francesco and Giovanni, shared duties: the elder continued the traditional family business, whereas the youngest took service at the court of Cosimo I de'Medici, the first Grand Duke of Tuscany, thus introducing the Naldinis in the new political scenario created by the ascent of the Medicis to the Principality.
Their descendants could benefit of this shrewd policy, that allowed the family to preserve its economical power, while maintaining good relations with the Grand Ducal court, whose influence and importance were rapidly growing: at the end of the XVI century, the Naldinis were rich, influential and well established members of the Florentine aristocracy.
As many other Tuscan families, the Naldinis progressively abandoned the mercantile activities and adopted the habits and way of life of the European nobility.
The eldest male was in charge of continuing the family and received most of the inheritance, while younger sons were free to follow whatever course could further illustrate the House.
During the XVI century, 4 Naldini brothers embarked in the military career, paying a high toll for it, since, as can be read in a document of the end of 1500, two died in the wars in Flanders, a third one was severely wounded in battle and only the fourth survived and could ask the King of France a pension to repay the family for its services and for all it had sacrificed in so many campaigns.
Wedlock also became a source of important alliances and of increases in the family fortune. Between the XVII and XVIII centuries, the Naldinis married in the families Marzi-Medici, Nerli and Del Riccio. As a consequence of the latter marriage, the Naldinis inherited the fortune and name of the Del Riccio.
In the XIX century, the family was known as Naldini Del Riccio gi? Rinaldeschi, a long sequel of names that went from the medieval origins, reminding the extinct Rinaldeschis, to the eighteenth century's alliance with the illustrios and wealthy Del Riccio.
The last male of the Naldinis is Ottavio, who married Vittoria Giugni Canigiani de' Cerchi and had from her only one daughter, Cristina. In 1879 she married Marchese Eugenio Niccolini di Camugliano, also belonging to an old Florentine patrician family and a well-known public figure, Senator and author of a famous shooting diary, still very popular nowadays. As part of her dowry, Cristina brought the Palazzo Naldini in the Niccolini family, who still owns it nowadays.

On Gregoire's Watch, Key Education Measures Didn't Budge Much
By Austin Jenkins
OLYMPIA, Wash. – One measure of success for governors is their ability to get better results out of schools. As Washington Governor Chris Gregoire prepares to leave office, the state's high school graduation and dropout rates have improved, but not a lot. And there's still a significant achievement gap between white and non-white students.
Three out of four Washington high school students graduated on-time last year. On the flip side, nearly one in six high schoolers dropped out. Go back to 2005 when Democrat Gregoire first took office and the numbers today are only slightly better. Another common measure of how schools are doing is the achievement gap. Take 4th grade reading scores during Gregoire's eight years in office. The gap between white and Hispanic students and white and black students actually grew larger. Now there is an asterisk. The test did change in that time.
Chris Gregoire: "You can't turn that around overnight."
Speaking with me on TVW's "Inside Olympia" program recently, Gregoire said to achieve big changes in education, you have to start at the beginning.
Chris Gregoire: "You're not going to change suddenly the outcomes of seniors in high school if you didn't start in early childhood education."
Gregoire didn't always see eye-to-eye with state schools superintendent Randy Dorn. Even so, he still gives the outgoing two-term governor a "B" for education.
Randy Dorn "If we were able to hold our own on graduation rates and achievement gap for that to happen in the toughest economic times we've probably done as well as we could do as compared to other states."
It wasn't just the Great Recession that hit on Gregoire's watch. So did a Supreme Court ruling that Washington is not living up to its constitutional duty to adequately fund public schools. The high court recently weighed in again to say the state is not moving fast enough to remedy the situation. Still, Gregoire believes she has helped set in motion a new focus on early learning, all day kindergarten and a seamless pre-k through college approach. Education reform advocate Lisa Macfarlane calls that legacy "spot on." But the longtime Gregoire backer adds the governor ran into political roadblocks along the way.
Lisa Macfarlane: "I think there's a long line of Washington governors that are frustrated they couldn't do more and I think she's in that list and it doesn't mean she can't be proud of what she did accomplish."
As Gregoire hands off to Governor-elect Jay Inslee the challenge remains: how does the state ensure the money it spends translates into better grades for Washington schools.

Publication: The Day
Norwich - This year's transition to full-day kindergarten in the Norwich public schools has been less than smooth in some schools, with the combination of large classes and insufficient staffing leading to behavioral problems in classrooms, at recess and in the cafeteria.
Shane Dupuis, whose daughter attends kindergarten at the Wequonnoc School in Taftville, addressed the Board of Education Tuesday with a three-page letter outlining problems he has seen that have affected his daughter's own behavior. He said his daughter loved preschool last year and looked forward to going to school every day. That has been the opposite this year, he said.
"The behaviors my daughter is now exhibiting, both in school and at home, has included pushing, jumping and general rough play that did not exist at this level a month ago," Dupuis said. "The student/teacher ratio is a huge issue here. One teacher cannot effectively watch and teach 27 students at once."
Norwich launched full-day kindergarten at all schools this year at the insistence of the Board of Education over the summer. Superintendent Abby Dolliver said registrations have been difficult to predict, and class sizes are high at the Wequonnoc, Uncas and John B. Stanton schools.
Wequonnoc has two full-day kindergarten classes with 26 and 27 students. A quirk that has exacerbated the behavioral problems, school officials and Dupuis said, is the gender breakdown of 44 boys to just 10 girls.
"I don't mean to pick on the boys," Wequonnoc Principal Scott Fain said, "but they're boys."
Dolliver said kindergarten classes at Uncas School also are high, at 25 students each. Dolliver said she has capped kindergarten class enrollment at Stanton, Wequonnoc and Uncas, meaning any new students enrolling during the school year will be shifted to other schools and half-day programs only. If students leave, the slots will not be filled until class sizes drop below the targeted total of 23 students.
School officials also are finding that many of this year's kindergarten students did not attend preschool and this is their first school experience.
To increase supervision, Dolliver moved classroom interventionists - hired to provide small group instruction as part of the school system's performance improvement plan - into each Wequonnoc kindergarten classroom. Starting next week, the hours for the interventionists will increase from four to five hours a day, Dolliver said.
Fain said he added staff during lunch and sent a letter to parents asking for volunteers to help students with lunch. Dupuis said his daughter had trouble opening juice boxes and he speculated other students were having the same problem.
Additional teachers were added to recess as well. Board member Jesshua Ballaro, who lives near the school, said she has volunteered at recess as well. She said the problems did not represent "malicious behavior," but rather, rambunctiousness by the 4- and 5-year-olds running, jumping and at times crashing into one another.
"They're all wound up," Ballaro said. "They're just kids being kids."

After learning a language -Why can't anyone go back and narrate what and how one experienced during the first year?
It will be interesting to explore the reasons that fill the "gap of inability" between the most efficient language learning phase and "culture bound listening phase" as Patricia says . After learning a language what prevents one to go back and bring insights, describe from that efficient learning phase in one's life. Being convinced that these insights / description once known will be objectively measurable as well. It seems the challenge in using MEG has a bias. Thus - what are those factors that prevent one to go back and recall the baby experiences while a language gets learnt - it may add new vocabulary or use existing words in a new perspective to share with others.
Closing Statement from Charan Singh
Thank you all - the spectrum of responses - from Ed Schulte, Natasha Nikulina, Casey to Adriaan Braam- brought amazing insights on this theme. My question and replies were driven by the knowledge I acquired through some, available to humanity, core sources of Wisdom that are little explored - though seems extremely beneficial for solving our current problems. The reason to ask this question was to further explore and find equivalent knowledge terms that can be commonly understood by all. Must say I tried exploring ,not missing even a small reference about " The Word" and how little we know about The Word that manifests through language as our World. Interestingly, I learnt about a Oneness frequency C132/A 432 Hrz that further led me to a great related article link http://www.jwmt.org/v1n4/readlight.html and another book title: P.D.Ouspensky - The Fourth Way, that accepts and addresses to the question asked here " why one doesn't remember and how can one develop that memory that remembers everything " Present day Science or pedagogy - sorry to state, addresses or knows only about two dimensions of that memory that inherits the potential to be developed into four. It is not about religion or faith or worshiping - it is purely about the knowledge accessible to mankind that can be gained through - easy to make observations, experiments not subjective experiences, comparisons, analysis - and using all other tools a scientific mind would use or prefer to use.
I remain indebted to all who participated and shared their valuable inputs on this thread. Thank you.

Mar 4 2013: The key here is the concept of repetition. In a cognitive psych class I'm taking this semester I learn that our brain tends to discard unnecessary information. We tend to retain only those thing what are useful to survival and those that we remember through "repetition". For example, we still remember numbers and letters because we have subconsciously and consciously repeated it to ourself over a billion times and still do. Every operation, every task involving this is a repetition.
However if we do not access that those particular chunks of memory, then the brain deems it useless and it begins to fade away. Lets take the SAT for example. I learnt so many new words for the SAT. And I dont think I have or will ever use most of these words. Probably ina year from now I wont be able to recall a single one? Maybe if you read it out to me, I might remember because of similarity, maybe i wont.
Also the general sense of social logic. Socially speaking, if we were go randomly go to say a market and when someone says hi, turn around and scream "go go daaa da" or something, they would think Im crazy! Well so as we become a "part" or society and "grow up" we also learn the language of society. Society has its own set of mutually understood norms of not only behavior, but also of speech. And thus, even though babies remember so many words and they do understand phonetics and grammar, we tend to forget the unused parts of that speech.
Mar 6 2013: It seems Repetition is critical in the phase after first year where language piece has been learnt. If repetition was the important in the first year - one would have remembered how and what one did before learning language - the prime question.
Interesting !! "the brain deems it useless and it begins to fade away" - it seems with the associative memory the faded memory can be recalled as well if one focuses deep. What to do you think?
As rightly stated - "Societal norms" impose an inability to explore the most efficient learning phase of one's life. Do you agree?
Mar 7 2013: Well it could probably be recalled but we will have to have exceptional recall abilities. And we may no always be able to recall because if unused those neurons that access that part of the memory mat no longer exist.
Now heres a weird paradox. It is said that every time u recall a situation you slightly change your memory of it!
Think about how that could affect things?
Yep, societal norms are one of the greatest factors that our learning and memory. Because it influences what we consider to be "important" and what what we consider to be "insignificant".
Mar 8 2013: "we will have to have exceptional recall abilities" Excellent -promising -Thanks Sidh, for a moment without learning , going deep into studying neurons - you and I and all of us have come through this phase - how can one go back, how can one have that exceptional ability that - what is external to us -has covered us with? This "weird paradox" as applicable to the acquired knowledge through language - not to the Core competences. Social norms, economic, physical realities, are all part of the external that has defined us- covered us, No problem !! the point seems to be aware of - the covered, and what got covered and how?

A man died at a hospital after he was shot multiple times in Harrisburg on Monday night.
City police said the unidentified man was shot in the chest, and may have been in his 20s or 30s.
The victim was found lying in the street after the shooting happened around 8:45 p.m. in the 300 block of Muench Street.
Investigators canvassed the area for several hours and were seen closely examining a Dodge car with Ohio license plates that was parked on Muench. No further information was made available about the search.
No suspect is in custody at this time, however, Harrisburg Police Chief Pierre Ritter said investigators believe the shooting may have been an isolated incident. He also told residents to remain vigilant.
The fatal shooting is Harrisburg's second homicide this month and the city's ninth homicide this year.
3235 Hoffman Street, Harrisburg, PA 17110

We're learning more about the newest installation to the franchise faster than expected - does Ubisoft want this stuff leaked on purpose? I'm thinking it would make sense given that the game is supposed to be out on October 29th. The newest trailer confirms that Edward Kenway, a pirate trained by Assassins, is indeed the star of the show. Since we're going back in time and this is a prequel to Assassin's Creed III, I hope the gun loads faster… since, you know… Ezio's hidden gun from Renaissance Italy reloaded faster than Connor's gun centuries later.
Check out the leaked screens here: All Games Beta
and don't forget the new trailer before that is gone over at: Nintendo Everything
There has been much talk and speculation about the forthcoming title from the Assassin's Creed franchise. I have to admit, I wasn't very excited since I just didn't like Connor from the 3rd installation of the series; however, I really did love Haytham Kenway. Rumors were swirling that the protagonist of the next game is actually Edward Kenway, Haytham's father. I am uncertain if this has been confirmed by Ubisoft, but being that the game does take place before the Haytham/Connor story - it can be possible and quite welcome because I'm much more interested in Haytham's story arc than say.. Connor or Desmond. Which also leaves a lot of fans wondering - who will be in the Animus after what happened at the end of Assassin's Creed III? I'm thinking it could be like Liberation, Revelations, and Brotherhood in which there is no Animus interaction. Perhaps Desmond Mile's father is in the Animus and he is in fact a descendent of Edward Kenway? Time will tell.
Did I mention that the title of this game could be better? Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag reminds me of some mediocre punk band from the 70s:
I'm wondering if Ubisoft was aware of this when picking that terrible title. Or maybe this band is so obscure these days that I'm the only person that would actually think of this.
Assassin's Creed III was record breaking because it was the most pre-ordered Ubisoft game ever. Let Assassin's Creed IV be another record breaker by being the first glitch and bug-free game in the series.
It seems the video is disappearing as quickly as it was leaked onto the internet. You can watch it here:
This is a direct mp4 link so it should work on most computers unless you're missing some packages. It reveals the release date as October 29th. This is supposed to be a next-gen system. Will Playstation 4 be released in October?
Asssassin's Creed III does not disappoint and lives up to the hype – Ubisoft proudly announced weeks ago that this was their most pre-ordered game yet. The third title focuses around Connor, an American(yeah, I said it.) of Mohawk Indian and British descent. He is straight out of a Catharine Sedgewick novel, which makes this game all the more charming for early American history and literature buffs. I'll be writing this from an American perspective in the same fashion I imagine Italians marveled at Ezio slaying the Medici and Borgia families in Assassin's Creed II. Gamers get to mingle with a cast of historical characters and witness the signing of the Declaration of Independence. I giggled with glee when I dumped boxes of tea into Boston's harbor and as a New Yorker, I shook my head in disbelief at how rural New York is in this installment of the series. The Desmond plot finally comes to a conclusion and I hope any forthcoming Assassin's Creed titles keep him gone for good(I was never a fan of the contemporary levels – keep me in the Animus, please!)
The graphics in this game have quite a boost over the previous titles – the water is beautiful, the landscape is beautiful(although rendering could use an improvement, buildings popping up out of thin air isn't pretty!), and I loved the new features – such as climbing trees, hunting animals, listening to conversations while remaining within a specified range, and the changing seasons. The snow flurries, pouring rain, and scorching sun really helped add to the experience. There are also new side quests that are much less redundant feeling that in earlier games. There are a variety of naval missions that are enjoyable, peg leg trinket missions(similar to gathering feathers for Maria in ACII), convoy missions, and eagle feather collecting. Welcomed back are fort missions in which you can liberate regions of cities from the Templar order – although with a twist. Like the convoy missions, you must find the forts before the mission becomes available. Other missions, such as helping people around town, become available as you walk around. Fast travel is a bad idea to use frequently in this game because you will miss out – in fact, you need to discover the fast travel tunnels in this game; they cannot be purchased. My major qualm about the technicality of this game is maintaining the homestead – I'm not enjoying the whole 'creation' of products that then need to be sold and transported via convoy. It reminded me of Atelier Rorona and I was not pleased. I much rather renovate buildings and collect income instead of hunting around for homestead missions to acquire people to live near my property, then buy materials from these rescued people, THEN ship these things on convoys that may not even make it to the destination. It's like a weird cross between Atelier and Civilization. I could have lived without it.
On a side note, this game is really buggy and needs a patch. Assassin's Creed III and Liberation has issues with freezing and other strange glitches that require restarting the game. I'm really surprised Ubisoft has not addressed this and issued a patch.
Ultimately, you should buy this game.

Editors' review
Advanced SystemCare Ultimate combines a top antivirus program with a complete system utility suite. The antivirus program is the well-known Bitdefender, providing standard protection against viruses, malware, and adware. The utility suite contains more than 25 handy system tools.
Complete solution: Advanced SystemCare Ultimate sports an unusually wide range of functions: we have to admit that during the five days of testing we did not feel any need for extra protection or PC tuning support.
Exhaustive array of utility tools: The rich toolbox fine-tunes every part of your machine, with all tools in plain view because the minimal mode of the previous version has been dropped. We particularly liked the "Care" function that in just eight minutes managed to scan two pieces of malware, corrected 4,000 Registry errors, resolved 38 Internet problems, got rid of 200 shortcut errors, and wiped out a staggering 9GB of junk files.
Typical antivirus protection: Although our full antivirus scan managed to nab three pieces of malware, we feel that the provided protection and scan times are only average.
Some tools are unnecessary: Not all tools are equally functional. For example, the "Startup Manager" tool provides a much more practical service than the confusing Windows equivalent, while the "Auto Shutdown" tool does a very incomplete job compared to the excellent and free "SmartPower Configuration" utility.
Bottom Line
A mature and unusually complete piece of software, Advanced SystemCare Ultimate can make your machine feel safer and faster. Look no further than this app if you want effective antivirus protection combined with an arsenal of system optimization utilities. At $29.99, we feel this app is affordable considering the many features it offers.

Liz Lochhead was appointed as Makar in January 2011, taking on this role of Scotland's national poet. We find out what it means for this established and highly respected poet and playwright.
We join Liz Lochhead on her tour of duty as she attends the Robert Burns Museum in Ayrshire with Carol Ann Duffy, visits schools across Scotland and speaks out at the Poetry Library in Edinburgh.
This is a personal observation on her life and work in Scotland, and Liz takes us to visit her favourite corner of the country on the wild and unspoilt west coast near Skye.
She reflects on the importance of the job for her, which she accepted as she says, "in grateful recognition of the truth that poetry - the reading of it, the writing of it, the saying it out loud, the learning of it off by heart - all of this matters deeply to ordinary Scottish people everywhere."
With readings of Liz Lochhead's poems and contributions from leading writers and critics across Scotland and beyond.

A Paulding county couple accused of keeping their son locked in a room for years was denied bond by a judge on Friday.
Paul and Sheila Comer face child cruelty, false imprisonment and kidnapping charges. They were arrested in September after their emaciated 18-year-old son, Mitch, was found wandering near a Los Angeles bus station.
Defense attorneys say the Comers moved around for financial and business reasons, and conceded the Comers disciplined Mitch who they described as a troubled child.
The lead prosecutor told the judge all three of the Comers' children have profound psychological damage. The family's multiple addresses sent up a red flag.
"They're running from something. That's my take on it. There's something that, some reason they don't want to stay in one place," said District Attorney Dick Donovan of the Paulding Judicial Circuit. "They were visited by DFACS and within just a matter of a few days packed-upped and left for a different destination than they said."
Defense Attorney Scott Smith said they respected the judge's decision, and will "try the case in the courtroom and not the press."
Prosecutors said they reached out to Paul Comer's mother and sister, and both said they had not talked with him in years. It was learned he had $100,000 in his bank account. Prosecutors said he is a small appliance repairman.
A fundraiser for Mitch Comer, the alleged victim, will be held on Saturday. For more information visit facebook.com/events/468650973175549.
