Roxy Outdoor Fitness: Sally Fitzgibbons shares the key components to a successful early morning workout
According to ROXY Outdoor Fitness ambassador and professional surfer Sally Fitzgibbons, the key to an early morning workout is putting on an outfit that 'makes you feel like you're invincible and can run at the speed of light'. Her outfit of choice for a cold winter morning? Standard Running Tights and the Ambition Running Tee paired with the Down and Ready Jacket.
Here are Sally's morning workout running tips that every girl should abide by (trust us! This girl is so in shape and on her game it's inspiring!):
Warming up and warming down is absolutely key in preventing injuries.
Make sure you have an active and lively warm up including; leg swings, lunges and only hold any static stretches for a short moment.
Post exercise take your time in doing a slow cool down jog and hold your stretches for an extended length of time. Make sure you sync your breathing with the stretches to go a little further.
Make your run fun and exciting…Go on an adventure! Look off the beaten path and try to always keep moving forward and not go back the same way you came!
Have someone drop you at a destination where you are just running to make it back home or to a friends' house or your favorite cafe to meet up with everybody.
Use your surroundings wherever you may be in the world. Study your environment and find little challenges like a steep hill and create a super set around it.
3 sets of 5 sprint hills will send the heart rate through the roof and get the legs burning.
Don't forget to Smile and enjoy yourself amidst all the pain!!! Chin up and always look ahead..
A Smile Will Take You The Mile!

Hi, I am trying to get some help on interfacing the Arduino with a C++ program running on a computer. Here is the "tutorial" I am trying to follow: http://arduino.cc/playground/Interfacing/CPPWindows
I am a little confused on how to use it, do I create a new file for the actual program or do I just edit the Serial.cpp program? I am using Visual Studio 2010 ultimate and have a Project called Serial_to_Arduino, with only two files, SerialClass.h and Serial.cpp. Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks a ton.

PBS education reporter John Merrow writes about the erasure analyses, clear evidence of cheating and concealment of that evidence.
No, he is not writing about Atlanta Public Schools and former Superintendent Beverly Hall. He is writing about Washington, D.C., and former Chancellor Michelle Rhee.
Merrow questions why the strong evidence of cheating in the District of Columbia Public Schools — revealed now in a confidential memo — was not followed up as it was in Atlanta, and puts the blame on Rhee.
He says an inexperienced and ambitious Rhee arrived in Washington and imposed a "Produce or Else" reform model. He notes that Rhee met one-on-one with each principal and demanded a signed guarantee of exactly how many points their test scores would increase.
Rhee has become a national leader in education and holds great sway with state Legislatures, including here in Georgia. She is winning converts to the

Written by:
Your treat, Monsieur de Honoré,
a sundae, hot fudge,
an iced cream dream
sans bureaucratic nightmares,
those trance-like states
of oh, so good men;
the static office-men
who barely skimmed life's
sweetness--that hot fudge sundae
nestled deep in the heart of all.
Time to eat up.
"Look! Monsieur de Balzac has already finished his!"
The inspiration for this poem came after reading
Monsieur Honoré de Balzac's novel, The Bureaucrats.

"Daddy Cakes" was originally coined by two Dad's having fun for breakfast with their kids, family, and friends - it snowballed from there and they left their corporate jobs to make "Daddy Cakes" available to everyone. They trademarked the term "Daddy Cakes" and created Daddy Cakes International, LLC based in Newport Beach, California. They have a super cool line of baked goods mixes for todays generation, and sell housewares, apparel, and accessories. Most of their products are of limited release as they want their customers to have a somewhat unique experience. As far as I know, they are the one, the original, and only "Daddy Cakes" so it's a totally legit brand.
1) Check out her top, it's from Daddy Cakes. 2) That "Daddy Cakes" cupcake belt is da bomb! 3) These "Daddy Cakes" taste awesome! 4) Liberal Kansas enjoyed "Daddy Cakes" during International Pancake Day

DaddyCake is the man. My Dad is DaddyCake, he is better than any other Super Hero EVER! Those pancakes must be Daddy Cakes.
by Todd Markley June 26, 2008
DaddyCake is when someone references just one of the two brothers who created Daddy Cakes® the brand of "Just Add Water" baking mixes and products sold in specialty stores and online.
Hey Daddy Cake, Where is your good looking brother? Daddy Cake-Cupcakes are your best friend! Levi is the most Daddy Cake - No way, Dan is more Daddy Cake. Cupcake, There is no room for any fake Daddy Cakes®

The first weekend of the Scenic Drive brought large crowds and a second consecutive weekend was held in October 1968. The Scenic Drive's Fall Festival has since been held each year during the first two full weekends of October. Fulton County's Spoon River Valley country offers much to the visitor during the Fall Festival and during other seasons of the year. While there are many attractions a visitor may find interesting, a few highlights may include the lone dam on the Spoon River at Bernadotte, a public boat dock at London Mills, the historical Ellisville Opera House, and the breathtaking scenery along the entire route of the Spoon River. Foods have become a tradition during the Fall Festival such as apple butter made before your eyes at London Mills, baked potatoes and hot cider at Farmington, chicken and noodles at Smithfield's Red Brick School, funnel cakes in Lewistown, baked goods in Duncan Mills and the famed ham in Ellisville. Visitors to the area are welcome to join us on the highways and byways of Fulton County which sport the colors of the four seasons and are open to visitors year around with routes running through London Mills, Farmington, Fairview, Ellisville, Smithfield, Cuba, Canton, Avon, Lewistown, Bernadotte, Duncan Mills, Waterford Township, Ipava and Astoria. These routes cover more than 100 miles in Fulton County.

Have you ever thought, "Boy, I'd sure like to purchase an hour's worth of head-bopping electroswing for only 5 bucks"?
Well, if you have… your desires are oddly specific. BUT ALSO, Jazz and Masks is the PERFECT album for you! Filled with an hour of head-bopping electroswing, it's a steal at only 5 bucks! It also comes with a seasonally-appropriate, family-friendly story that you can read to your kids at bedtime.* Also makes a great last minute Christmas gift?? (It's Christmas Eve guys, better get on that!)
Here's some other things you will get if you buy the album:

Not Feeling The Love Anymore?
Is Your Relationship In A Rut?
Is your relationship in a rut and you're not feeling the love anymore like you once did for your partner? You know you love them but life with them has become ho hum and boring. You find yourself going to functions alone because your partner just isn't into that kind of thing anymore. You used to enjoy everything together but you're finding you or your partner doesn't enjoy doing those things anymore! Are you starting to feel like a wall is being built between you and your partner?
We all change with time, and we can't help that that's what living life does to people, but there are several things we can do to put the fun and romance back into our relationship when things become boring.
Date Night
I know you've heard me say it over and over but I truly believe in date night. Making it special can bring all those romantic feelings back in full swing. Sometimes it may take a few dates to dig up those feelings especially if they have been laying dormant for a long time. Date night can be one of the easiest things to do to get your partner back into having a good relationship.
You should have one every two weeks. Someplace where there isn't much noise and soft music in the background so you can talk easily and just enjoy each others company. Or if you like to dance, go out on the town and shut it down. Nothing is more fun than working up a sweat while boogieing with your partner. Another idea is to fix a candlelight dinner at home with a bottle of your favorite wine chilled and ready to be shared. You can get 300 more creative date ideas to help you by clicking here.
Spend Time Making Love
Women are so different than men when it comes to making love. You can just mention it to a man and he's running through the house taking off his clothes and diving into bed. Women need to be held and feel a connection to their partner. They have to be in the right mind set to let themselves go and surrender to their partner. So guys, let this be a reminder, if you want a deeper connection and start feeling the love again, you have to spend the time to get your lady ready to open up and relax into making love and remember she comes first.
Did you know there is a Female Orgasm Blueprint out that will give your lady mind blowing, squirting orgasms even if she has never had one before? Believe me I had never had a squirting orgasm before but I have now thanks to Jason Julious and his blueprint;) It's been the best thing we have ever done for our sex life. It's a very tastefully done course on helping your lady achieve an all over body squirting orgasm. Check out the free video on how to find and stroke the G-Spot for an all over body, mind blowing, squirting orgasms that will have your lady never wanting to leave the bedroom.
Talk About Your Feelings
Sometimes things happen in a relationship that just tear it down. Being aware of the problems that arise and talking them out as they happen will make your relationship strong. Also see the article Trust Builds Strong Lasting Relationships. A relationship built on a strong foundation will stand against any adversity thrown it's way. So if you have any issues that are causing resentment or hurt you need to talk them out until you both feel better about them or they will eventually eat away at the foundation of your relationship and cause it to be become weak.
A strong relationship can still get boring so finding ways to help it stay exciting is imperative to it's survival. Get 101 Romantic Ideas free when you sign up for Questions For Couples. This site is chuck full of romantic ideas, so take a look around and I hope you find something that will help your relationship when you're not feeling the love anymore. I hope you get the love back for each other that you once shared and that you can learn how to keep the love flowing throughout your time together.
Talk Soon,

Forrest J Ackerman, who influenced a generation of young horror-movie fans with Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine and spent a lifetime amassing what has been called the world's largest personal collection of science-fiction and fantasy memorabilia, has died. He was 92.
Ackerman, a writer, editor and literary agent who has been credited with coining the term "sci-fi" in the 1950s, died Thursday of heart failure at his home in Los Angeles, said John Sasser, a friend who is making a documentary on Ackerman.
"It was the first movie-monster magazine," Tony Timpone, editor of horror-movie magazine Fangoria, told The Times in 2002.
Timpone, who began reading Famous Monsters as a young boy in the early '70s, remembered it as "a black-and-white magazine with cheap paper but great painted [color] covers. It really turned people on to the magic of horror movies."
Primarily targeted to late pre-adolescents and young teenagers, Famous Monsters of Filmland featured synopses of horror films; interviews with actors such as Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi and Vincent Price; and articles about makeup and special effects.
The magazine reflected Ackerman's penchant for puns, with features such as "The Printed Weird" and "Fang Mail." Ackerman referred to himself as Dr. Acula.
"He put a lot of his personality into the magazine," said Timpone, who became friends with Ackerman. "It was a pretty juvenile approach to genre journalism, but as kids that's all we had."
Among those who grew up reading Famous Monsters of Filmland was author Stephen King. Other childhood readers included movie directors Joe Dante, John Landis and Steven Spielberg, who once autographed a poster of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" for Ackerman, saying, "A generation of fantasy lovers thank you for raising us so well."
Ackerman was a celebrity in his own right, once signing 10,000 autographs during a three-day monster-movie convention in New York City.
This, after all, was the man who created and wrote the comic book characters Vampirella and Jeanie of Questar and was the ultimate fan's fan: a man who actually had known Lugosi and Karloff and whose priceless collection of science-fiction, horror and fantasy artifacts ran to some 300,000 items.
For years, Ackerman housed his enormous cache of books, movie stills, posters, paintings, movie props, masks and assorted memorabilia in his 18-room home in Los Feliz.
He dubbed the house the Ackermansion. The jam-packed repository included everything from a Dracula cape worn by Lugosi to Mr. Spock's pointy ears and from Lon Chaney Sr.'s makeup kit to the paper-plate flying saucer used by director Ed Wood in "Plan 9 From Outer Space."
For Ackerman, a native Angeleno born Nov. 24, 1916, it all began at age 9.
That's when he stopped at a drugstore on the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Western Avenue in Hollywood and bought his first copy of the science-fiction magazine Amazing Stories.
Ackerman was helplessly hooked.
By his late teens, he had mastered Esperanto, the invented international language. In 1929, he founded the Boys Scientifiction Club. In 1932, he joined a group of other young fans in launching the Time Traveler, which is considered the first fan magazine devoted exclusively to science fiction and for which Ackerman was "contributing editor."
Ackerman also joined with other local fans in starting a chapter of the Science Fiction Society -- meetings were held in Clifton's Cafeteria in downtown L.A. -- and as editor of the group's fan publication Imagination!, he published in 1938 a young Ray Bradbury's first short story.
During World War II, Ackerman edited a military newspaper published at Ft. MacArthur in San Pedro. After the war, he worked as a literary agent. His agency represented scores of science-fiction writers, including L. Ron Hubbard, Isaac Asimov, A.E. van Vogt, H.L. Gold, Ray Cummings and Hugo Gernsback.

DOVER, Del. - A state Senate committee is considering a bill that requires gun owners to report to police within 48 hours after discovering that a firearm has been lost or stolen.
Supporters of the measure being discussed Wednesday say mandatory reporting can help prevent firearms from winding up in the hands of criminals prohibited from possessing them and reduce straw purchases. A straw purchase occurs when a person buys a gun for someone not allowed to have one. Straw purchasers often claim that a firearm traced back to them after a crime had been lost or stolen.
The committee also will discuss a competing Republican proposal that increases the penalty for trying to cover up a straw purchase by falsely reporting that a gun has been lost or stolen.

What is the last month of the year?
* = Required Fields
ALPHARETTA, Ga. (BP) -- The number of non-Anglo congregations in the Southern Baptist Convention has jumped by more than 66 percent since 1998, according to the North American Mission Board's Center for Missional Research.
Just over 10,000 congregations (10,049) of 50,768 congregations in the convention identified themselves by an ethnicity other than Anglo in 2011, the most recent year for which detailed data on ethnicity is available from LifeWay Christian Resources' Annual Church Profile database.
In 1998, non-Anglo congregations totaled 6,044.
"It's clear that Southern Baptists have been multi-ethnic and are becoming an even more multi-ethnic convention of churches," said Joseph Lee, senior pastor of Connexion Church in Lawrenceville, Ga., a mostly Korean Southern Baptist congregation. "The trend is gaining speed week by week. For example, the ethnic churches grew from zero to more than half of the total number of churches in our county in the past 10 years."
The diversification of the convention comes at a time when the United States as a whole is growing more diverse. USA Today, for example, has reported that the number of all-white communities in the country has plummeted since 1980, according to an analysis of census data by Penn State University's Population Research Institute. Less than a third of U.S. counties are 90 percent Caucasian.
The largest jump in non-Anglo congregations within the SBC from 1998 to 2011 has predominantly come from an 82.7 percent increase in the number of African American congregations.
For Fred Luter, pastor of Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans and the first-ever African American president of the SBC, the diversification of Southern Baptists has become very personal.
"I remember at one time I was the only [African American pastor] in my city who was Southern Baptist," Luter said. "I caught a lot of flack as a result of that. Thank God I'm able to see some of the fruit of my labor -- not only at my particular church but in the associations and conventions across the country."
Hispanic congregations also have seen a significant increase over the same span -- nearly 63 percent. The number of Asian congregations affiliated with the SBC has grown by 55 percent.
Because of the nature of Annual Church Profile (ACP) statistics, it's impossible to know the diversity of individuals within the SBC -- only the diversity of congregations.
"We are only able to categorize congregations by ethnicities -- not members -- because the ACP only asks the predominant ethnicity of congregations, not individuals," said Richie Stanley, director of NAMB's Center for Missional Research.
Non-Anglo congregations now account for nearly 20 percent of the SBC, compared to 13.4 percent in 1998. In 1990 about 5 percent of congregations in the convention were primarily non-Anglo.
"We are grateful to God for this diversity," said Ken Weathersby, NAMB's presidential ambassador for ethnic church relations. "It is saying that the Southern Baptist Convention is no longer monolithic. The Southern Baptist Convention is very diversified. It is open to all peoples -- regardless of ethnicity and race."
Despite the SBC's growing diversity, there are still a variety of ethnic groups in North America with no Southern Baptist presence among them. Mark Hobafcovich, NAMB's national coordinator for church mobilization, points to the Albanian people as an example. There are more than 500,000 Albanians in the United States but no SBC congregations and only one evangelical church among them, he noted.
"As Southern Baptists partner together to plant new evangelistic churches, Albanians and other people in North America can hear the Gospel in their heart language, come to faith in Christ and be discipled so they in turn can make other disciples and plant churches here at home and throughout the Albanian diaspora around the world," Hobafcovich said. "Only by a movement of God can we see biblical multiplication and the Kingdom of God exponentially expanded."

Danbury Municipal Airport's air traffic control tower is scheduled to close in April along with five other airport towers in Connecticut because of the federal budget impasse.
The Federal Secretary of Transportation sent letters on Feb. 22 to airports, trade associations and others saying the sequestration (partial government shutdown) will also lead to longer flight times because of fewer air traffic controllers.
"Flights to major cities like New York, Chicago and San Francisco could experience delays of up to 90 minutes during peak hours because we will have fewer controllers on staff," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood wrote to the Department of Defense, Airlines for America, the National Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, among others.
The Danbury Air Traffic Control Tower employs six people. In his letter, LaHood wrote the agency will have to cut $600 million because of the sequestration, and that may mean closing 100 air traffic control towers nationwide. The smaller airports will lose their towers, those airports with fewer than 150,000 take-offs and landings a year. It will also lead to furloughs for 47,000 FAA employees of one day per pay period, but up to as many as two days per pay period between April and September.
"We also expect that as airlines estimate the potential impacts of these furloughs, they will change their schedules and cancel flights," LaHood wrote.
Danbury Airport Administrator Paul Estefan said Danbury has about 80,000 take-offs and landings a year, which means the Danbury tower is likely to close in April when the FAA sets a closure date.
LaHood's letter includes a list of all the airports likely to lose their air traffic control towers in April. In Connecticut, those are Igor I. Sikorsky Memorial Airport in Bridgeport, Danbury Municipal Airport, Groton-New London Airport in Groton (New London,) Hartford-Brainard in Hartford, Tweed New Haven in New Haven, and Waterbury-Oxford in Oxford.
"If they can't resolve the budget, I guess that's the game plan," Estefan said. "The real question is after the sequestration, will they bring them back and how long will that take?"

dieu merci l'image tout en étant belle à voir n'indique rien de celà à nous autres simples "voyeurs" , moi je ne vois que quelques petales et sepales figés dans le temps pour l'étérnité dans un cocon doré

Published January 6, 2014
Getting caught "doing it" is embarrassing enough, but imagine being frozen in flagrante delicto for a hundred million years.
That's what happened to a species of flowering plant encased in amber originally collected in Myanmar (Burma) in 2001, a new study says. (See "Oldest Fossil of Mating Insects Found; Sex Positions Haven't Changed.")
The Cretaceous-period flower, named Micropetasos burmensis, is made of bunches of very tiny flowers no more than 0.03 inch (a millimeter) wide.
When the ancient tree sap rolled over the plant, one of those flowers was captured in the act of making seeds. That is, a pollen tube had entered a part of the flower called the stigma, where pollen germinates. (Learn about the parts of a flower.)
The process is very similar to how modern-day flowering plants reproduce, said study co-author George Poinar, a biologist at Oregon State University in Corvallis.
Previous researchers have found pollen tubes before, but none that were caught entering the stigma, he said.
The intact presence of such delicate structures also demonstrates amber's ability to preserve fragile body parts, Poinar added. "Here you have a hundred-million-year-old flower that looks like it was blooming last week." (See "Pictures: 'Incredible' Dinosaur Feathers Found in Amber.")
One of a Kind?
Although the plant is now extinct, it's also a newly discovered species, Poinar said. It's so different from anything researchers have seen before that the newfound flower doesn't seem to have any modern-day relatives.
The sheer number of flowers encased in amber is also quite exciting, said Poinar, whose study was published in December in the Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas.
"Here we have 18 flowers on one sprig," he explained. "That number of flowers has never been seen before in a Cretaceous [flowering plant]."
Previous finds from this era of the dawn of flowering plants contained very few flowers—usually one or two in a fossil—that could be attributed to the same species, according to the study.
Having so many flowers from the same plant preserved together will allow researchers to study the flowers from different angles. And since the flowers are in various stages of growth, this will enable Poinar and colleagues to analyze how the flowers matured.
"Here's something which hasn't been seen before, and it doesn't fit anything we know of today."

Lovely story! My two toy dogs have been taught to "Say hello nicely", which they do fairly happily, provided there are no majorly nteresting distractions. The other day they got their reward when the toddlers who greeted them gently and politely proceeded to share their sugared biscuits with the dogs (their Mum did ask first)... My dogs hardly ever get sweet biscuits, so they are an exceptionally special treat - I think the behaviour may now be pretty well distraction proofed!

I was chuckling to myself while reading this, thinking about my neighbor's border collie. This describes him to a "T". He's an affectionate, lovely boy, but all he cares about is a ball, frisbee, or a makeshift stick if nothing else is available for you to throw. And then I have the opposite problem with my dogs. If anyone so much as glances at my male dog he thinks it's an invitation to cross the trail for a pet, hug or leg lean. My female dog adores children and visibly lights up when she sees them, from toddlers on up. I guess it's a good thing they both work as therapy dogs. My prior dog, a Lab-boxer, wouldn't give you the time of day unless you were in her circle of friends. She tolerated meeting and being petted by strangers but could care less about it.

ventusmarinus The place, the landlady, the whole atmosphere and hospitality were amazing. We can only recommend it!!
martinb222 this B&B was truely exceptional! beautiful apartment and spacious rooms right in the heart of bergamo. and the breakfasts have been the best in italy that i have had. fresh local ingredients, the tomatoes with boiled eggs drenched in olive oil was perfect!! 5 stars highly recommended gracie mielle!!
amyaharmon We can only say good things about this B&B! Cristina was there waiting for us when we arrived the B&B and was extremely helpful in everything and very nice. The bus from the airport is very easy and drops you off five minutes from A Casa Mia. The location is excellent and very easy to get to. The view of the hills of Bergamo is amazing and the house is beautifully decorated, extremely clean, quiet and inviting. There is always a table set up to make tea or coffee. Books and information from the area are also available to see nearby places. Restaurants and other shops are within five minutes walking. I highly recommend this place. Bergamo and its surrounding are beautiful.
ramleh.27 This is a very good reasonably priced B & B. situated in the Cita Alta close to the resturants and shops. The rooms were very clean and the breakfast was more than adequate offerring juice, cereal yoghurt fruit tea /coffee toast cooked meats and cheese served in the lovely courtyard or in the main dining room if weather not permitting. The service was very good and they allowed us to leave our bags on the day we were leaving as we had a late flight. The only downside was the shared bathroom but for the price this was taken into account (one bathroom between two rooms) but plenty of hot water and again very clean. The room we had was quite close to the road so a little noisy but after a good day of walking it was not so much of a problem. Bergamo especially Cita Alta is a beautiful town plenty of nice walks and well worth a visit.

Wednesday, March 2, 1988 Weber State College Vol. 48 No. Daycare still priority for WSC community Tony Butler Staff Reporter k h I'rovichne adeauate daycare lor WiC faculty, staff and students has been an " issue for the last 12 years for Dr.Toni Weight, dean of student development " "We need it and we have high - commitment to the project," said Weight. "But, daycare is a complex issue. There's funding, insurance costs, finding a site, getting the building erected, and allowing for input from the college and the department of child and family studies in the operation of it." " Dr. Marie Koticr, vice president for tiul"m r'rvirQ cnit a citp hoc htpn . ,v .... . approved by the college through the Board college will do the legwork and has a. tentatively proposed a site near the college Wwkuii uiiiuii, Jin. jgiu. i timing lii niuncy il uuuu uio uiggcM. .'luuiciu wc face at present." Dr. Jim Bird, of the department of 'child and family studies, said the college can currently handle only 50 children, ages three to five, at the Melba Lchncr Children's School in the Education Building. "This doesn't help die returning student who has an infant," he said. "And there is a year-lone waiting list to r,et daycare lur preschoolers at the center." Weight is presently working or a proposal that will allow for an ouuv.de . contractor to build a facility on campus hat can accommodate approximately 1 10 children. After construction, the college .-and perhaps a daycare group could cooperate in the running of the center. Bird proposed that the college add another floor to the Education Building and make the entire first level a combination daycare and learning center. "This would make use of existing kitchen and playground facilities," he stated. If IX Bird cautions that what is known as drop-in daycare would not solve any problems. "Drop-in daycare doesn't lend any consistency to the child's care," he said. "Historically, on college campuses with child development labs, the care was if 1 Pi'rpk'icd looks abound as these two little bovs tackle a ivpewnier, reflctlmg ihe frustration we all constructing a new uoor icr the Education Building isn't acceptable, he proposes that the college make use of unoccupied portions of Promontory Towers. This proposal would require that separate play facilities be built. feel 'hen it s time to hand in typewritten class assignments. (Signpost photo-. Laurl CalO not daycare; it was separate from child development. Weber State was one of the first to provide actual daycare. What happens when daycare and lab care are separate is that the lab kids get the best care and die daycare kids get less care." To avoid this, Bird proposed that the center's administration be controlled by the child and family studies department Dr. Craig Campbell, dean of education, echoes Bird's sentiments, maintaining that labs are a part of the state requirement for education majors. "There is a legitimate function here," he said. "Students must have a supervised lab experience and a teaching credential in order to graduate. The School of Education provides superb training in child and family studies, and daycare could be an extension of that training." Campbell emphasized that a daycare lab would not exist just to make money. "There is plenty of good daycare in the Ogden area," he said. "We just need it to be closer to the college so the students can be served, not so we can compete with existing business." . Weight said that an earlier proposal was to contract an outside agency to build a daycare center and then operate it in conjunction with the educadon department. This led to the idea of involving McKay Dec Hospital in intergenerational care-care of infants and children, up to age five, and the elderly. The intergenerational approach would provide training for the education, child and family studies and gerontology departments. "If McKay Dee can buy into the project when the building is complete, intergenerational care could become a pilot program for the nation," said Weight. The bottom line though, as with everything else, is still funding. (See DAYCARE on page 3) Allocation budget passed by senate Chris J. Miller Editor-in-Chief The third time was the charm as the ASWSC Student Senate passed the student fee allocation proposed budget at a senate meeting Monday. After two meetings, including one special senate meeting in which the proposal was sent back to the allocation committee, the senate passed unanimously the proposals that afterward went to the President's Staff and institutional Council. The proposed budget passed both groups. A mam area of concern was Model United Nations " funding. In the original proposal, MUN had been cut approximately 29 percent. After discussion in an allivation committee meeting with MUN student leaders, the committee voted 4-1 to allocate $400 of additional funds. In other action at Student Senate, a bill to put more emphasis on academic advisement to freshmen and sophomores was passed by a split vote. Although several senators worried about the workability of the system, which would have each student be assigned an adviser or faculty member as an academic counselor, the bill passed. Nine senators cosponsored the bill. A bill presented last week by Residence Halls Association Senator Randy Bateman passed, removing the S8 fee charged to residence halls students for parking passes. According to Bateman, the extra fee did not gain the students additional service, such as snow removal. According to Bateman, Campus Police Chief Lee Cassily, who estimated only $800 would be lost, had no problem with the bill. The bill will now be sent to the WSC Parking Committee. Also, Melvin Feller was ratified as the Physically Challenged Student Senator. Feller replaces Don Guthrie who was not able to fulfill his duties. In new business, a bill presented by Dori Stauffer, traditional student senator, would make it punishable to place notices and ads outside of the kiosks. According to vice president Dave Terry, the Open Hour Committee has had problems with abuse of the kiosks. For work on the details, the bill was referred to Stauffer. Rich Hoggan, arts and humanities senator, presented legislation that would point out to administration what features students would like on the new touch-tone registration. According to Hoggan, the administradon is defining lite database, and it was time for student input.

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - A Tommy gun and a shotgun believed seized in a police shootout with gangsters Bonnie and Clyde in Joplin, Missouri, in 1933 are headed for the auction block.
Strong interest is expected in the January 21 auction of the weapons, which were displayed in a Springfield, Missouri, police museum for nearly 40 years until the owner decided recently to put them up for sale.
The .45-caliber 1921 Thompson submachine gun is better known as a "Tommy gun," commonly depicted in movies and crime lore. It and an 1897 12-gauge Winchester shotgun will be sold by Mayo Auction & Realty in Kansas City.
A firearms dealer in Liberty, Missouri, who once sold a pistol owned by 19th Century U.S. outlaw Frank James said she expects the Tommy gun to sell for at least $25,000.
Kathy Peisert, owner of Great Guns, said the chance to obtain guns with a colorful history would excite collectors.
On April 13, 1933, police raided a Joplin apartment where Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were hiding out. Two officers died in the shootout. Bonnie and Clyde escaped.
A police officer gave the weapons to Mark Lairmore, a Tulsa police officer at the time, and they have remained in the family ever since, according to an account posted on the Mayo website.
Lairmore's great-grandson, also named Mark Lairmore, said his father and grandfather were dead and there was little sentimental reason to keep the guns.
"I feel it's time for someone with an appreciation of antique guns and the history behind these guns to own them and care for them," Lairmore said in a statement by Mayo.
Company owner Robert Mayo declined to estimate the value of the guns.
"A lot of people have a fascination with Bonnie and Clyde and it's very rare we get a chance to sell something like this," Mayo said.
The notorious outlaws were gunned down in a police ambush in May 1934 in Louisiana, a little more than a year after the shootout in Joplin.
Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty played the outlaws in the 1967 movie "Bonnie and Clyde" directed by Arthur Penn.

Roanoke City recently had to pay Roanoke County $300,000 because of a tax mistake involving a rental car service.
It happened over a six year period from 2007 to 2012.
Basically, proceeds from the tax mistakenly went to the city when they were meant to go to the county.
The tax on rental cars works the same way as the sales tax in that it's the responsibility of the business to take the money out and report it to the commonwealth, and then the commonwealth takes its share before distributing the portions required to the city, town, or county where the rental car company does business.
In this case, the issue came about after one of the rental car companies in Roanoke opened up another location in Roanoke County and when the state collected the tax from the company, it gave the locality's cut to the city in one lump sum.
The mistake was uncovered by Roanoke County's Commissioner of Revenue.

With the Jordan Crawford situation taken care of, the Wizards can turn their attention back to the court, where Bradley Beal and Cartier Martin both aren't expected to miss any time following a yucky face-to-face collision during Thursday's practice.
Beal had to head straight to the dentist after chipping both of his front teeth, and Martin left the practice court with a towel pressed to his face and later visited the doctor for stitches to close a laceration to his forehead, where he'd connected with Beal.Wizards coach Randy Wittman had a cabinet full of one-liners ready afterward.
"We've got a hockey player it looks like now," Wittman said of Beal. "We're in the same building with our hockey team so we might as well look like them. I don't know if you guys looked at him. He's got a pretty smile. He could squirt some water out of that mouth now I bet."
Beal jogged into Friday's shootaround with a mouth guard and said he was good. Martin wore a blue headband that masked the repair to his injury. Asked how many stitches he received, Martin guessed about 15. Both are expected to be available against the Nuggets.
"I told them they know how to end a practice," Wittman said.

THURSDAY, Nov. 4 (HealthDay News) -- Teens born to women who
took two or more epilepsy drugs while pregnant fared worse in
school than peers with no prenatal exposure to those medications, a
large Swedish study has found.
Also, teens born to epileptic mothers in general tended to score
lower in several subjects, including math and English.
The findings support earlier research that linked prenatal
exposure to epilepsy drugs, particularly valproic acid (brand names
include Depakene and Depakote), to negative effects on a child's
ability to process information, solve problems and make
"Our results suggest that exposure to several anti-epileptic drugs in utero may have a negative effect on a child's
neurodevelopment," said study author Dr. Lisa Forsberg of
Karolinska University Hospital.
The study was published online Nov. 4 in
The study was retrospective, meaning that it looked backwards in
time. Using national medical records and a study conducted by a
local hospital, Forsberg and her team identified women with
epilepsy who gave birth between 1973 and 1986, as well as those who
used anti-epileptic drugs during pregnancy. The team then obtained
records of children's school performance from a registry that
provides grades for all students leaving school at 16, the age that
mandatory education ends in Sweden.
The researchers identified 1,235 children born to epileptic
mothers. Of those, 641 children were exposed to one anti-epileptic
drug and 429 to two or more; 165 children had no known exposure to
the medications.
The researchers then compared those children's school
performance to that of all other children born in Sweden (more than
1.3 million) during that 13-year period.
The teens exposed to more than one anti-epileptic drug in the
womb were less likely to get a final grade than those in the
general population, said Forsberg. Not receiving a final grade
generally means not attending general school because of mental
deficits, she explained.
While teens exposed to only one anti-seizure medication did not
show the same risk, they were less likely to pass with excellence.
This may be the result of the influence of the anti-epileptic drug
during fetal life, but it may also be the effect of factors related
to epilepsy, such as genetic factors, social factors and the effect
of the mother's seizures, said Forsberg. "Therefore, these data
should be interpreted with caution."
Anti-epileptic medications besides valproic acid include
phenytoin (such as Dilantin and Phenytek) and carbamazepine (such
as Tegretol and Carbatrol). The study noted that compared to other
anti-epileptic drugs, valproic acid during pregnancy seems to have
a stronger negative influence on cognitive skills. However,
Forsberg said that this study could not draw specific conclusions
about valproic acid, since very few of the children studied were
exposed to it.
There's also evidence that taking multiple anti-epileptic drugs
can cause more harm than taking just one. That's why the American
Academy of Neurology recommends taking just one during pregnancy,
if possible, and trying medications other than valproic acid.
Dr. Jacqueline A. French, professor of neurology at NYU Langone
Medical Center and director of the Clinical Trials Consortium at
the NYU Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, said that the retrospective
nature of the study made it difficult to control for unknowns that
could have affected its findings. For example, the study could not
factor in how often the mothers had seizures during their
pregnancies or during critical early years of the child's life.
"I think that could have an impact on the child's development," said French. "We can't exclude the possibility that a woman on anti-epileptic drugs whose seizures are well controlled has just as much likelihood of having a child that excels as a woman who is not on the drugs."
Forsberg agreed, noting that most children exposed to
anti-epileptic drugs do complete school, and that most children of
epileptic mothers are born and remain healthy.
However, the study findings support current recommendations that
pregnant women take just one anti-epileptic drug if possible, noted
Forsberg. She also recommended that women with epilepsy plan their
pregnancies. "That way, they and their doctors can come up with
individual treatment plans that make the pregnancy safe for both
mother and child," she said.
