text: 000 FXXX06 KWNP 150726 WEKHIL :Product: 7-day Space Weather Highlights :Issued: 2014 Sep 15 0717 UTC # Prepared by the US Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center # Product description and SWPC contact on the Web # http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/wwire.html # # 7-day Space Weather Highlights # Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 08 - 14 September 2014 Solar activity ranged from low to high levels during the period. Moderate levels were reached on 8, 11, and 14 September with high levels reached on 10 September. Moderate levels were first reached on 09 September at 0029 UTC when active sunspot region 2158 (N16, L=087, class/area Dkc/440 on 11 September) produced a long duration M4/1n flare. This flare had associated Type II (999 km/s estimated shock velocity) and Type IV radio sweeps, a 10cm (370 sfu) radio burst, and an asymmetrical, full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME) which was first observed in LASCO/C2 imagery at 09/0006 UTC. The majority of the ejecta appeared to be heading north and east of the Sun/Earth line, however, it was later determined this event contained an Earth-directed component. On 10 September, conditions reached High levels as Region 2158 produced a X1/2b flare at 1745 UTC. It also had associated Type II (3750 km/s estimated shock velocity) and Type IV radio sweeps, a 10cm (1300 sfu ) radio burst, and an Earth-directed full halo CME. On 11 September, Region 2166 (N13, L=352, class/area Dao/60 on 14 September) produced an M2 flare at 1526 and an M1 flare at 2126 UTC, just prior to rotating on to the visible disk. After returning to low levels on 12 and 13 September, conditions again rose to Moderate levels as Region 2157 (S14, L=98, class/area Ekc/540 on 6 September) produced an M1/2n flare at 14/0216 UTC. The coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with this M-flare was observed off the west limb in SOHO/LASCO C2 coronagraph imagery beginning at 14/0248 UTC, but was deemed to be well off the Sun-Earth line. Other activity included a filament eruption observed in SDO/AIA 193 imagery beginning at 12/1749 UTC west of Region 2158 near center-disk. SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery showed a coronal mass ejection (CME) beginning at 12/1936 UTC that was mostly obscured by a larger backsided CME off the NNE limb that preceded it beginning at 12/1836 UTC. WSA-ENLIL modeling of the event indicates a likely CME arrival around midday on 16 Sep. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was elevated on 8 and 9 September due to a particle enhancement from an event the week prior. Late on 10 September, levels began a quick rise following the X1/2b flare from Region 2158, mentioned earlier. By 11 September, the greater than 10 MeV levels had reached a peak of 28 pfu (S1 - Minor), but then leveled off for the next 24 hours. Storm levels briefly reached the S2 (Moderate) threshold, in conjunction with the arrival of the CME, and reached a maximum of 126 pfu at 12/1355 UTC. During this time, the greater than 100 MeV proton flux levels began to rise as well, reaching the 1.2 pfu at 11/0425 UTC level before tapering off shortly thereafter. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at normal levels on 8, 9, 11, 13, and 14 September, and reached moderate levels on 10 and 12 September. Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet to severe storm levels during the period. Quiet to unsettled levels occurred from 8 to 11 September, with an isolated active period on 11 September. A geomagnetic Sudden Impulse (33 nT) was observed at the Boulder magnetometer at 11/2346 UTC, indicating the arrival of the 09 Sep CME as anticipated. The geomagnetic field responded, pushing geomagnetic field conditions to minor storm levels. Conditions moderated for approximately 9 hours back at quiet to unsettled levels, until the second CME arrived at Earth. Total field rose to a max of 31 nT and solar wind increased to near 790 km/s by late on 12 September. A geomagnetic sudden impulse of 43 nT was observed at the Boulder magnetometer at 12/1555 UTC. Conditions then increased to minor to severe storm levels for the next 9 hours. Conditions fell to active levels early on 13 September and continued to decline to quiet levels by mid day as the Bz component remained in a northward orientation (not well connected). Quiet conditions remained through 14 September.

Wine Enthusiast
"From his winery just off the Silverado Trail in southern Napa Valley, Ray Signorello has fashioned two more brilliant Chardonnays. The 2008 Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes Estate is one of those rare California Chardonnays that come from vines nearly 30 years of age. Exotic, restrained but authoritative scents of nectarines, tangerines and orange blossoms emerge from this light straw/gold-colored wine. Full-bodied with zesty acidity, lots of minerality and a rare intensity in the mid-palate, this impressive, structured Chardonnay's framework is reminiscent of a red wine's. It should drink nicely for at least 3-4 years, possibly a decade given its singular style. The wood is completely hidden by the wealth of fruit intensity.

c/o Fitz and the Tantrums Facebook page — chillin' in the church of Soul Pop
So, let me get this straight — a band exists out there with a lead male/female singer, no guitars, and references soul/R&B music of the 60s with a modern twist? When I heard about Fitz and the Tantrums, I just knew it was going to be love at first listen. And it was.
"Breakin' The Chains Of Love": The first song ever wrote by Michael Fitzpatrick, founder of F&TT
Formed in 2008 in Los Angeles, CA, Michael Fitzpatrick called up his friend from college who happened to be a sax player, and was then introduced to singer Noelle Scaggs, as well as the band's future drummer, where the group just kinda fell together. Named after Fitzpatrick's last name (with Tantrums added to the end — genius!), Michael was clearly inspired by the sounds of Motown, but wanted to make music that was relevant today — since a lot of bands just blatantly copy music styles from the past. The whole guitar-less aspect of F&TT is just Michael's personal taste; he got sick and tired of hearing guitars everywhere in modern music.
Although their sound is actually quite contemporary compared to 60s soul jams of the past, their lyrics are very ol-skool indeed. Check out the chorus to the song linked above, "Breakin' The Chains Of Love":
Oh what a lovely day
Breaking the chains of love
I'm hoping that you won't find a new love
Cause I know baby you're mine
Can't you see that you're mine
Oh, can't you see, can't you see that you're mine
Just a classic tune about lost love, no big deal. Maybe what makes F&TT so retro-cool isn't mainly their sound; it's also their lyrics.
Too cool for new school — F&TT's music video for "MoneyGrabber"
Do F&TT sound a little familiar to you? Not in the Motown-inspired music sense, but maybe Michael's voice and songwriting style? In October of last year, Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates fame featured the group on his web series Live from Daryl's House (which is a totally awesome segment that you should really check out). Apparently, Daryl's mother was at the session and remarked that Michael's voice was exactly the same as her son's!
I'll leave you with F&TT's performance of "Pickin' Up The Pieces" on Live from Daryl's House, with Mr. Hall himself singing along! Hmm, he and Michael do have some similar vocal styles going on after all…

It started with a campus party at the University of Miami. From there, the night moved to Monty's Raw Bar, an institution of inebriation in Coconut Grove. But the night was young and South Beach beckoned.
Joe Altieri told himself before it all started that it wasn't going to come to that. He told himself he probably needed a break between parties before he and his friends started tailgating at 6 a.m. at Sun Life Stadium for the Canes-Gators game. Instead, Altieri made the wise decision and went to Buck 15 on Lincoln Road.
"I'm on vacation, so what the hell," said Altieri, who answered questions in between tosses of beer pong played with cheap champagne and even cheaper beer. It was 8:30 a.m. on Saturday and Altieri, who traveled from New York for the Florida vs. Miami game, had been partying all night and all morning. Amazingly, he could still speak in complete sentences.
Altieri's friend, on the other hand, was an early favorite for tailgate MVP. While Altieri was busy dominating beer pong like he invented the game, Jimmy Henderson and his friends were polishing off their eighth bottle of champagne.
"It's early in the morning, so you've got to be fancy about it," said Henderson, a Canes grad from Boston who had a half bottle of Cook's in his left hand.
Cook's retails for about $8.99.
Like many of the fans who arrived at Sun Life Stadium before the sun on Saturday morning, Altieri and Henderson pulled the ultimate college football all-nighters — campus keg party, South Beach, Sun Life Stadium — for what could be the final regular-season game between instate rivals Miami and Florida. The noon kickoff on Saturday offered a unique challenge for those crazy enough to try it. Some people camped out in their cars to enter the stadium's parking lot the second it opened. Hundreds arrived before dawn.
It was an all-night vigil for one last victory; a wake of sorts for yet another piece of this religion we call college football that is dying.
All over the country some of college football's best rivalries are going away due to conference realignment. Michigan and Notre Dame ended their rivalry Saturday. Texas A&M no longer plays Texas. Nebraska and Oklahoma have called it quits. Miami and Florida stopped playing annually years ago, which is a shame because the scene on Saturday morning at Sun Life Stadium should happen every other year.
For example, not far from Altieri and Henderson's tailgate, a drinking game involving tubes, valves, a three-gallon jug and hunch punch was working overtime before 9 a.m. This particular hunch punch consisted of vodka and fruit punch. Some folks, particularly those in the Deep South, make the stuff with pure-grain alcohol, but I wouldn't know anything about that.
The hunch-punch crew reminded me of one important thing on Saturday morning. College kids don't need a rivalry game to binge drink, and I guess that's the real reason a bigger fuss hasn't been made about schools canceling rivalries for cash. For most, it's not really about the football.
But for the people who arrived at 4:30 a.m. in order to enter the stadium's parking lot at the very moment security opened the gates, Saturday was more than just another excuse to party. They were all drinking, too, of course, but the early birds were the people who wanted to celebrate every moment of the experience. Some diehards were waiting before 3 a.m., according to stadium personnel. Going to have to take their words for it.
I was lazy and showed up at 6:15.
Ray Muñiz, Billy Kolonias and two other friends arrived much earlier. Fans located in one particular lot at Sun Life Stadium (the blue lot) were allowed to begin setting up at 5 a.m. Muñiz and Kolonias were playing dominoes between sips of Miller Lite around 6:30.
South Beach isn't exactly their speed, but they did their duty all the same. Muñiz fished on a canal all night before arriving at the stadium around 4:30.
"We originally wanted to catch some gators and bring them to the stadium, but we couldn't find any," Muñiz said.
That's probably for the best. Instead, the fishermen settled on alligator gar. As proof, Muñiz pulled out his iPhone and showed off a picture. Nasty fish, the alligator gar.
A fan of the Canes since the early 1980s, Dave Rodriguez went to bed around 9:30 p.m. on Friday to start his Saturday tailgating around 5:30 a.m. He grew up in Hialeah and now lives near Sarasota. Rodriguez's partying days are over but that didn't stop him from starting Saturday morning off with a bloody Mary. He sautéed onions and hash browns in a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet while speaking of joy and lament. He was hopefully for a successful season, but, like most longtime Canes fans, he expressed bitterness about the end of a rivalry.
"It's terrible but it really ended way back when Florida had their excuse to quit playing," said Rodriguez, who cooked in a green and orange apron decorated with Hurricanes logos. "All the good rivalries seem to be going away."
When is it socially acceptable to drink before dawn? At parties and funerals.

Meet Gabriel David Beres
With the cost of a transplant often exceeding $500,000, many transplant families are unable to shoulder the financial burden of such a procedure. The Children's Organ Transplant Association (C.O.T.A.) is a national charity dedicated to organizing and guiding communities in raising funds for transplant-related expenses. In Norton, Ohio, and all over the United States, many caring volunteers are raising funds for C.O.T.A. in honor of transplant patients like local baby, Gabriel Beres.
Gabriel is the son of Gabe and Sonja Beres. Born on June 06, 2012, Gabriel was diagnosed with Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis. The doctors at Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, have recommended a life-saving liver transplant. An estimated $50,000 is being raised by volunteers.
*Update: On February 3rd, 2014, Gabriel received his gift of life...a healthy, life-saving liver. He is at Cincinnati Children's Hospital recovering and healing. He is doing very well! His parents are staying at the Ronald McDonald House which is located right across the street from the hospital. They will be there for the next 2-3 months.
Thank you for your continued support and donations!

Helping Students with Autism
Autism is a developmental disability considered the result of a neurological condition that affects brain function. According to the Autism Society of America, there are 1.5 million people living with autism in the United States. Students with autism find it difficult to relate to other people in a meaningful way. Students may show restrictive and/or repetitive patterns of behavior or body movements, and often have some degree of intellectual disability. While great strides are being made, there is no single known cause or cure, nor a known singular effective treatment for every individual with autism.
Autism is one of the educational eligibility categories for special education. Individualized Educational Program teams can deem children eligible for special education services under the category of autism.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, as many as one in 150 children have an autism spectrum disorder. The use of the term "spectrum disorder" implies that no two individuals with autism are alike. Autism Spectrum Disorder is defined by challenges in three areas: social, communication and restrictive/repetitive behavior. Autism Spectrum Disorders usually become evident within the first three years of life. Autism Spectrum Disorders occur four times more often in boys than in girls.

He mentioned it on Twitter before, but now Justin Bieber is really pushing the fact that he's going to appear on Saturday Night Live ...maybe. On Monday, Justin tweeted , "maybe im hosting and performing on SNL...maybe. :)."
Justin has appeared on Saturday Night Live before, both as a musical guest and as a guest star in sketches, as well as in the show's 100th digital short . But if he hosts and serves as musical guest on the same show, he'll join an exclusive club of stars who've done double duty. That club includes Justin Timberlake , Taylor Swift , Bruno Mars , Britney Spears , Mick Jagger , Garth Brooks and Janet Jackson .
So far, NBC has not confirmed The Biebs' appearance, much less announced when he'll appear but it's a good bet that it'll be sometime around the January 29 release of his album Believe Acoustic.

Translating static content
29 April 2011 at 2:43am
Hello everyone,
I have looked all over but can't seem to find a way to easily translate static content in my templates. For example, I have a ProductPage with information about a certain product with a button below to order the product. In Dutch, this button needs to say "Product bestellen" but in the English version it would need to say "Order product". Is there some if statement you can use?
Best regards,

Have you had a look at http://doc.silverstripe.org/sapphire/en/topics/i18n?
You will want to use the _t('STRINGNAME', 'Default Value') statement (as of 2.4 and below, this has changed in 3.0).

Thanks, I will ty it out! I came across that page, but it wasn't really clear to me that this was the easiest way.
Re: Translating static content
5 May 2011 at 8:51am
I am trying but I can't find the right way to get the translation. All I need is for hard coded text like "Order this product" to be translated for the specific languages. According to the documentation I can use "<% _t('ORDER','Order this product') %>" for text in my SS templates, but what is my next step? I already set the locale to dutch (the default language) so that part in the _config.php looks like this;
// Set the site locale
(Do I also need to add English if that is the second language?)
Then it seems like I need to collect all the text, but for that it seems I need PHPUnit. Or am I missing something?

Yes you will need PHPUnit and run the text collector. All the documentation can be found on http://doc.silverstripe.org/sapphire/en/topics/i18n

I updated Pear to 1.9.2 for correct installation and installed PHPUnit. I am using xampp and there now is a directory called PHPUnit under C:/xampp/php/PEAR/
After that, I ran the text collector using http://localhost/project/dev/tasks/i18nTextCollectorTask but I still get the following error;
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'PHPUnit/Framework/TestResult.php' (include_path='C:\xampp\htdocs\sumerianoptics\site\web/sapphire;C:\xampp\htdocs\sumerianoptics\site\web/sapphire/parsers;C:\xampp\htdocs\sumerianoptics\site\web/sapphire/thirdparty;.;\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\sumerianoptics\site\web\sapphire\dev\SapphireTestReporter.php on line 2
And indeed, there is no TestResult.php in the directory.
I am mostly a frontend developer so this is a bit new to me. If all this help is a bit of a bother, please let me now, and I will try to solve this another way.

No bother - these translating issues are often more complicated then it seems, and there definitely are some issues
Using the TextCollectorTask just like that, will have it try and create new languagefiles for the entire framework/cms. I don't suppose you want that anyway, so it's better to do it on a per-module base. This works fine for any custom modules you want to translate and you'll find that you won't need PHPUnit at all:
This will try and create a lang/en_US.php file in your module so make sure it's writable! Next you translate that file by making a nl_NL.php copy and replace all en_US occurences in it by nl_NL. That's it!
One somewhat irritating issue: if you try to collect module=mysite, it will result in an error, because for no seemingly valid reason SilverStripe wants to add the Page singularname/pluralname translations to the sapphire/lang/en_US.php file, that (lucky for you) isn't writable, else it would overwrite the file with just these two items. To solve this you need to override the SiteTree provideI18nEntities() methods in your Page class.
Finally, you can always create languagefiles by hand and skip the TextCollector entirely...
Why PHPUnit anyhow?
For Silverstripe to collect text from classes, it seems to need to instantiate them. Working the sapphire module, it then stumbles upon a class like CliTestReporter.php, that wants the PHPUnit. Hence the demand for PHPUnit, which the TextCollector itself doesn't use at all...
Re: Translating static content
7 May 2011 at 6:09am
Thanks a lot. I am now trying to make the lang files by hand, but it seems I'm still missing something. My default language is Dutch, and the second language is English (UK). In the mysite/_config.php I have the following code;
// Set the site locale
Object::add_extension('SiteTree', 'Translatable');
Object::add_extension('SiteConfig', 'Translatable');
Then, I have a nl_NL.php and en_GB.php file in a mysite/lang directory with this line;
Dutch: $lang['nl_NL']['Page.ss']['SEARCH'] = 'Zoeken';
English: $lang['en_GB']['Page.ss']['SEARCH'] = 'Search';
Finally, I put this code in the themes/project/templates/Page.ss file; <% _t('SEARCH') %>
Now, when viewing the Dutch site it does show the Dutch text, but on the English site the text is not translated. Do I need to add something in the _config.php file?

I assume you're talking about Allen Adham, but I'm not sure why you think he's the "hidden founder," though. People haven't really talked much about him since he left Blizzard in 2004, but it's not like Blizzard has been pretending that he never existed. He's even credited as a lead designer on World of Warcraft.

The Book of Vegetables (1907), by Allen French.
"Liquid manure" as spoken of in this book, can be conveniently made by immersing a bag of fresh horse manure in a tub of water. The product is strong in nitrogen, and is excellent as an application to plants which are expected to make a good stalk and leaf growth. The liquid manure should be applied dilute, and in small quantities; it should be put upon the ground, and never upon the plant itself.
It's much easier today, to apply liquid manure to flowers and vegetables. Here's a source for Cow Manure Tea from Authentic Haven Brand, for the modern urban farmer.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Mouse
February 23, 2013 at 2:44pm
I've bought several of the Play-N-Squeak toys for Bruce, so expect to see a lot of their products reviewed on here! First up is my most recent purchase: TwinkleMouse Play Wand.
I love the chenile-like feeling of the rope on this toy, plus it stretches. I knew that the feathers on the end of the wand would drive Bruce nuts. While I am neutral on its eyes lighting up, Bruce does like sparkly lighting things. Both of us, however, absolutely hated how much noise it made. We have other PNS toys and they do not make as much racket as this mouse … it seriously gave me a headache!
The mouse itself is simply tied onto the rope on the wand, so I have since untied it, leaving the noisy mouse in his toy box. Bruce loved the wand so much he carries it around the house. He has since de-feathered the top from playing with it, and still plays with the stretchy string bit.
I won't be buying another one of these, but would love a version where you could turn the squeaker OFF in the mouse because I think he would love it without the overly excessive noise.
Is it Bruce-proof? No — wand is easily de-feathered.

A man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison in the death of his girlfriend's 1-year-old daughter in Glendale.
A Maricopa County court spokesperson said Miguel Angel Garcia, 24, was also sentenced to lifetime probation Friday morning.
Garcia pleaded guilty to manslaughter and attempted child abuse.
Records show Garcia was babysitting his girlfriend's four children, ages 1 to 6, while the children's mother was at work on Dec. 11, 2011.
Those records also said that the baby was crying and Garcia admitted that he wrapped her in a blanket and put her face down inside of a closet. Initial reports show it was for approximately five minutes.
The child was found not breathing at the Heatherbrae Apartments in Glendale near 59th Avenue and Bethany Home Road.
Other children in the home interviewed said they were told not to open the door and not to let her out, according to the police report. The report also said that Garcia told police when he went to check on the child, she was unresponsive.
A neighbor told CBS 5 News that Garcia ran the baby to her apartment shortly after he discovered the child was not breathing.
"The only thing he told me was that he found her under a blanket," said Caryll Marcello. "All Angel said to me was, 'I need help, my baby's not breathing.' So I told him to come inside my house and we laid the baby on the couch and I called 911 and we started performing CPR."
The baby did not survive.
"I tried my best to help them. I tried my best to save the baby, but the ambulance got there and they said there was nothing that they could do," Marcello said.

You heard me… WordPress 3.3 is now released!!!
Join me tomorrow for a complete walkthrough of WordPress 3.3 on the iThemes.TV show at 11am (CST). You can reserve your spot by signing up at GotoWebinar. So what are some of the key changes and enhancements with WordPress 3.3?
- Brand new media uploader that makes it even easier to add photos or other files to your posts or pages with a simple drag-and-drop interface. Adding one file is just as easy as adding multiple files at the same time.
- Only one "upload file" icon exists on the post edit screen because WordPress now has better file type detection so the backend of WordPress knows what to do with the files you upload.
- The media uploader also supports new file formats so you can now upload files like a 7z format.
- The admin dashboard menus now feature flyout menus making it faster moving around the admin area. All you have to do is hover of the main menu items and your sub navigation areas will flyout granting easy access and providing single-click access to the whole admin area.
- WordPress 3.3 features an improved header/admin toolbar.
- The admin area of WordPress now responds to the screen size of the user and resizes itself based on various screen resolutions. Especially helpful if you use a tablet to manage the backend of your WordPress site.
- Brand new help tabs give easier access to relevant documentation and links and are even broken into smaller sections for better visibility.
- If you've ever been frustrated because two users are editing the same post at the same time and one of you overwrites the other persons changes… have no fear. WordPress 3.3 now features better co-editing capabilities. You'll now be alerted when someone is editing the post.
- Better and more flexible Permalinks are in WordPress 3.3. A ton of work went into the WordPress permalinks making them operate better without performance penalties.
- WordPress now includes the complete jQuery UI stack and the latest version of jQuery 1.7.1
- Lots of API functionality improvements for WP_Screen and the Editor. This should lead to some awesome future development.
You can grab the latest version of WordPress 3.3 from WordPress.org or by updating directly from your current WordPress admin dashboard. But don't forget to backup before you update. And the best solution for any WordPress backup is BackupBuddy – Grab your copy today.
And hopefully, I'll see you all tomorrow in our live webinar walking through the new features of WordPress 3.3. You can reserve your spot by signing up at GotoWebinar.

SEVILLE, Spain -- Athletic Bilbao drew 1-1 at Real Betis Monday to end a three-game losing streak in the Spanish league.
Betis striker Ruben Castro opened the scoring in the second minute from the penalty spot after goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz rashly fouled Salva Sevilla disputing a ball on the edge of the area.
Betis continued to dominate the opening stages of the match at Benito Villamarin stadium until Aritz Aduriz deftly scooped Ander Herrera's through pass over goalkeeper Adrian San Miguel to level in the 41st.
Bilbao created more chances the rest of the way, with Adrian making several saves to secure a point for the hosts.
"We found ourselves a goal behind practically from the start, and that changed our plans," Aduriz said. "But we knew how to react and managed to pull even. I think we did enough to get the win, but the ball didn't want to go in."
Aduriz and Castro have both scored 12 goals through 20 rounds this season, placing them joint fourth on the league's leading scorers list.
Betis strengthened its hold on fourth place and Spain's last Champions League spot. Bilbao moved up into 15th, four points from the relegation zone.
"The team showed that we are upset with our current situation and that we are trying as hard as we can to change it, but we just couldn't get the win," Aduriz said.

The Schirn building itself is a bit like a modern art work in the heart of Frankfurt's old quarter, a light, angular design contrasting with the grand, red sandstone cathedral and the Römer, the old town hall. This art gallery lies in the heart of the city – and is an important focal point in Frankfurt's cultural life. It is also one of the most celebrated galleries in Germany and in Europe.
Schirn is the Hessian word for a structure such as a hut or a shed, but this belies its significance in the world of art. Since opening in 1986, the Schirn has staged some 200 exhibitions. It has no collection of its own but organises temporary exhibitions and projects on selected themes or the work of individual artists. The themed exhibitions have made most notable contribution to the gallery's international reputation, for instance Viennese art nouveau, Expressionism, Dadaism and Surrealism, the history of photography and subjects such as 'shopping – art and consumerism', and the visual art of the Stalin era. Major retrospectives have honoured artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Marc Chagall, Alberto Giacometti, Frida Kahlo, Bill Viola, Arnold Schoenberg, Henri Matisse and Julian Schnabel.
Taking a stance on topical themes and aspects of artistic creation can be said to be the Schirn's hallmark. It aims not only to engage visitors in a meaningful exhibition experience but also to encourage active participation in the cultural discussion.

Online bingo is now one of the most popular forms of entertainment for men and women in the UK. The thrill of logging in to your chosen bingo site, depositing your stake and playing the game with friends dotted across the country has seen the online version of the game draw in many new fans. While victory might not be guaranteed, a good time is.
Occasionally though, someone gets his or her eyes down on a game that delivers a lot more than merely an enjoyable evening, that someone was Miss Bronagh O, who scooped a life changing Ł11,090 on a progressive jackpot.
The top bingo sites in the UK, such as Jackpotjoy, offer far more than just bingo to keep players entertained.
Players can choose from casino games, such as roulette and poker, not to mention online variants of popular TV game shows like Deal or No Deal, or other classic computer games like Bejeweled. Many of these games offer the enticing progressive jackpot feature which keeps growing and growing until one lucky player, such as Miss Bronagh O strikes gold.
Bronagh's success is the latest in a long line of winners from the Jackpotjoy site. Promoted by the familiar face of popular British star Barbara Windsor, Jackpotjoy offers a wide range of games for its customers to enjoy, many of which offer a hefty progressive jackpot for one lucky winner. The site offers a wide variety of slot machines, casino games, video poker and scratch cards for its customers, alongside two bingo games, Bingo 75 and Bingo 90. It was the 75-ball version of the game that Bronagh was playing when she landed her huge Ł11,090 progressive jackpot win.
After confirming her win, Bronagh was unable to contain her delight, stating: "I have no words to describe how I feel and [I am] unsure what to say, but thank you!"
The game that Bronagh achieved success in is known on the Jackpotjoy site as Bingo 75. Unlike the traditional Bingo 90 game (the 90-ball variant played most popularly in the UK), Bingo 75 is a slightly different format. In Bingo 75, players' cards are five by five squares, with 24 numbers and the centre square already filled in. To win the game, a player must mark off a stated pattern on their bingo card the quickest by marking off numbers as they are drawn. Patterns can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, which adds interest to the game and ensures that each game can be very different.
Bronagh's timely victory could not have come at a better time for she was just days away from getting married when she hit the progressive jackpot, claiming: "I am so happy and over the moon with this win." Indeed, after her win she described how she planned to use part of her windfall to afford caterers for her wedding and pay for an after wedding party for her guests.
The story of Bronagh's success is just the latest in a long line of delighted jackpot winners who have struck lucky on the Jackpotjoy site. The company offer a wide variety of different online games each offering their own progressive jackpot for a lucky winner.
The very nature of a progressive jackpot game means that how much is available in the pot to win changes by the second. Of course, a big win means the pot will be emptied quickly but there are many other games available that will have their own big jackpot available; including several Bingo 90 and 75 games, Bullion Bonanza, Diamond Bonanza, Tiki Temple and Deal or No Deal slots as well as games such as Video Poker and Monopoly Snap.
At any given time, there is always a top progressive jackpot available, the only criteria for the gamer is that they, like Bronagh, have to be lucky enough to win it.

Emell Monlyn was an essential government worker when twin snowstorms blanketed the Mid-Atlantic in 2010. The Bowie man was also required to report for work when a destructive derecho hit in June 2012 and Hurricane Sandy threatened later last year.
In the Great Shutdown of 2013, however, his services maintaining vehicles for the District of Columbia National Guard are suddenly dispensable. Monlyn is one of an estimated 800,000 so-called nonessential federal workers idled by the federal government shutdown.
In Baltimore, meanwhile, Richard Clark, an administrative law judge for the Social Security Administration, has been declared essential. This means Clark and his fellow judges can preside over previously scheduled disability benefits hearings — but they won't be able to deliver decisions because their support staff has been furloughed.
All through the vast federal bureaucracy, workers have expressed puzzlement over agency decisions that determined who would keep working and who would be sent home.
"I can't see rhyme or reason for it," said Witold Skwierczynski, an official with the American Federation of Government Employees.
There's uncertainty over who will be paid and for what. In past shutdowns, lawmakers eventually voted to reimburse furloughed workers for lost wages. But in the current political climate, that may not happen. So workers and their union representatives are unsure who the lucky ones are — those furloughed for what could turn out to be a paid vacation, or those ordered to keep working.
"It is a mess," said Skwierczynski, president of the AFGE Council of Field Operations Locals at Social Security.
In the past, he said, "people preferred to be nonessential so they could sit at home and not work." But this time, he said, they're not confident they'll be made whole by a Congress they see as hostile to federal workers.
Several lawmakers, including many from Maryland and Virginia, have co-sponsored legislation to restore the pay of federal workers once the shutdown ends. The Office of Management and Budget has said that those who are required to report will be paid eventually, but some workers are concerned they may have to work for an extended period without compensation.
Skwierczynski said the AFGE, which represents some 300,000 dues-paying members, is preparing a lawsuit in which it will argue that requiring government workers to report without a guarantee of timely pay is a violation of the Civil War-era 13th Amendment, which outlawed "involuntary servitude."
To determine who is essential and who is not, government lawyers have applied the federal Antideficiency Act, a 19th-century law that has been modified over the decades to provide a road map for agencies responding to an interruption in congressional appropriations.
In a 1980 interpretation of that law, then-Attorney General Benjamin Civiletti opined that agencies could obligate funds if they could show a "reasonable necessity" that the spending was necessary to protect human life or property. That keeps such workers as law enforcement agents on the job.
Civiletti also said that because certain activities, such as the payment of retirement benefits, may legally continue, the work needed to support them can continue, too. That exception is why about 70 percent of Social Security workers remain on the job.
Government functions that do not rely for funding on congressional appropriations — such as the Postal Service and fee-based inspections — may also continue.
Among the functions insulated from the appropriations process was the implementation of health insurance exchanges this week under the Affordable Care Act — the law at the center of the shutdown. The exchanges are paid for through mandatory spending provisions of the act that don't require congressional action.
The various exceptions have resulted in vast disparities in the percentage of furloughed employees from agency to agency. More than 90 percent of the employees at the Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency have been designated nonessential, for example, but only 5 percent at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The exceptions leave room for interpretation, and many of those affected see the decisions as arbitrary. In many cases, the lawyers are not so much deciding which people are essential but which of their functions have to continue during the shutdown.
At Social Security, for example, most of the employees who staff the field offices are still working. But the agency has instructed them that while they may accept applications for benefits, for instance, they must turn away people seeking new or replacement Social Security cards.
Clark, a 19-year federal administrative judge and vice president of the National Association of Administrative Law Judges, said the agency's decision to keep the judges and furlough the support staff doesn't make sense.
"No decision is going to go out the door unless the support staff is there to do it," said Clark, who lives in Bel Air.

Long Strapless Satin Dress with Side Ruching Style F15142 19 19
Gorgeous Dress I went in with my bridesmaids today (12/27/12) to pick out dresses in the horizon blue color and I originally had my mind set on short dresses. Once all of my girls put on this dress and came out together, I fell in love with it. I have maids of different heights and different sizes and it looked great on all three of them. It gave them all a slimming effect and it hides everything that someone may have been uncomfortable with. It also looks very elegant and formal. I cannot wait to see these dresses when they come in and I cannot wait for my bridesmaids to wear them when I get married in August 2013. December 27, 2012
Amazing Dress! I have a variety of different size and shaped bridesmaids and this was flattering on them all. We tried on A LOT of different dresses and we all fell in love with this one. We are pairing the dress (plum in color) with a beautiful ivory belt, it adds so much to the dress. The girls and I can't wait until the big day to see it all put together! December 13, 2012
Best Dress Purchase Ever I loved this dress so much. When I saw all my Bridesmaids in this dress they fell in love with it just as much as i did. I was torn at first between this dress and the one shoulder but I liked the way this Lit up their faces. This dress is Amazing and has an Amazing fit. I would recommend this Dress because it is a Perfect fit for all women no matter what size you are. November 28, 2012
Great Dress Although this was not my first choice for my Bridesmaids dress, I am so happy with my decision. The dress I fell in love with that I originally chose was not able to be ordered. I was very upset when we were told this, but our consultant did everything in her power to try to get them for us, but it was impossible. She then went right back to looking with us when we looked over and found this dress. I was iffy about it at first until everyone started trying it on and then I loved it. I was very happy with the dress I chose and I cannot wait until my wedding day to see my girls in the dress. November 13, 2012

Superintendent's Links
Dr. Martirano Photo Gallery
Our Superintendent
Dr. Michael J. Martirano is the superintendent of St. Mary's County Public Schools, a high performing prekindergarten through 12th grade school system located in beautiful Southern Maryland, where he oversees the operation of 26 schools (including the county's first public charter school) and the instruction of 17,454 students. Dr. Martirano was appointed superintendent of schools by the Board of Education of St. Mary's County on June 8, 2005, by unanimous decision. With a focus on improving academic success and building positive relationships, Dr. Martirano brought a renewed energy to St. Mary's County Public Schools (SMCPS). Immediately, his motto, "Work Hard and Be Nice," proliferated throughout St. Mary's County. He was reappointed for a new four year term by unanimous decision on February 11, 2009, effective July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2013. On February 13, 2013, the Board reappointed him to a third four-year term as Superintendent of Schools effective July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2017.
Since his appointment, Dr. Martirano reorganized the school system with an emphasis on service to schools. He takes every opportunity to fully engage in school-based continuous improvement discussions on what works best for students, and is guided by one focus -- creating a total community committed to learning and safety for all children in St. Mary's County. Dr. Martirano has established a vision plan entitled "Charting a Course to Excellence" that highlights 15 priorities to improve student achievement. These 15 points focus on improving student achievement for ALL students with a passion and focus on educating the whole student. Dr. Martirano's 15 point plan, combined with his clear alignment of school system goals, has enabled SMCPS to focus on targeted improvements and interventions for individual students and student groups. His guiding reflective continuous improvement questions continually ask all stakeholders to analyze the data and data driven decisions by examining where have we been, where are we, and where are we going.
Dr. Martirano's energetic and enthusiastic vision for the school system also inspired the creation of a new, streamlined mission statement: "Know the learner and the learning, expecting excellence in both. Accept no excuses, educating ALL with rigor, relevance, respect and positive relationships." His vision has also led to the implementation of Educational Pathways, including the establishment of STEM Academies at all three levels that provide a rigorous curriculum focused on mathematics and science with an infusion of technology and engineering; an Academy of Finance; and alternative pathways to high school success, including the Tech Connect program and the Fairlead Academy which is a 9th grade school geared toward preventing high school dropouts. Additionally, programs have been added to the Dr. James A. Forrest Career and Technology Center to meet the needs of all students. He fully believes that any world class school system must offer choice of educational programs for all students needs to be met. Additionally, the first new elementary school to be built since 1981 opened its doors on August 26, 2009. Evergreen Elementary School was noted as a Gold L.E.E.D. (Leadership Energy Environmental Design) standard school. Also, increased focus was placed on safety and security with all schools being equipped with security vestibules, computerized sign in for guests, volunteer registration, safe driving, internet safety and anti-bullying initiatives.
A key priority under Dr. Martirano's leadership is enhanced communication within the organization, as well as with parents and community partners. This improvement came via the school system's enhanced use of its automated phone system, the redesign of the SMCPS website, development of a local educational TV channel, and the implementation of more forums for parents and the community to communicate directly with the superintendent. Additionally, a Home Access Center was implemented to increase communication with teachers and parents. Dr. Martirano strongly believes that family and community partnerships serve as an anchor to the school system and are crucial to the betterment of student learning and to ensuring a safe environment for students and staff. These two components are vital to his objective to "Create a total community committed to learning and safety for ALL children in St. Mary's County."
Dr. Martirano has been an educator for 30 years and has amassed a wide range of educational and administrative experiences. Prior to his appointment as superintendent, he served three years as director of school administration with Howard County Public Schools.

text: Posted Online: Feb. 25, 2013, 9:30 pm Late losses only toughened up Geese for postseason Comment on this story By Terry Duckett, email@example.com More photos from this shoot Photo: Todd Welvaert West Carroll guard Nick Hughes tries to find an opening in the Wethersfield defense in their match up at the Warkins Cardinal Classic, Wednesday, Dec. 26, 2012, at the Erie High School gym. After its championship at the Lincoln Trail Conference boys' basketball tournament, the Wethersfield Flying Geese hit some late-season turbulence. But while three road losses to LTC rivals Galva and Stark County — which led to the Wildcats repeating as regular-season conference champions — and then to Orion may have caused a stir among some Wethersfield followers, head coach Jeff Parsons knew better. "I didn't put a lot of stock in those losses," said Parsons. "We had to play at three tough places, and in those games, we played good defense; we just didn't shoot the ball or shoot free throws well. Doing well at one thing and not the other, it can cost you, and we lost those three games by a total of 10 points." Evidently, that stretch of bumpy sky only toughened up these Geese as their current flight pattern has them back in the Class 1A sectionals for the first time in five years. Wethersfield (25-6) takes on Mendon Unity (19-11) Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in Mount Sterling at the Brown County Sectional. "The guys thought I was going to run the heck out of them and yell at them (after those close losses), but I just told them we've got to tighten the lugnuts a little bit, spend more time working on shooting and free throws and keeping our focus on defense," said Parsons, who has not had a sub-.500 season in 10 years as the Geese's head coach. "I feel like we're back on track, even though we still didn't shoot all that well last week (at the ROWVA Regional). We were able to score in the 50s and 60s, whereas before we were scoring in the 30s and 40s." But as he said, Parsons doesn't want to lose the defensive edge Wethersfield has maintained throughout the season. "I've coached a lot of years, and when you get into the postseason, it's about defense and rebounding, making sure every team is one and done," he said. "Some nights the shots fall; other nights they don't fall. You have to make sure defense and rebounding are stellar every night, especially in the postseason." While junior guard Trevor Lay's 21.5 points per game sparks the Geese attack, the duo of senior forwards Kegan Jacobson and Trey Hannam lend bulk to both the defensive and rebounding categories; Jacobson's eight boards per night are a team high. And if Wethersfield can contain Unity's 6-foot-5 junior post standout Lane Davis and move on to Friday's Sweet 16 contest, Parsons feels that the chances are good for his Geese flying to their first sectional crown since Wally Keller's 1978-79 team went 29-1 and reached the Class A super-sectionals. "We feel like this sectional is wide-open, that it's anybody's tourney down there," he stated. "It's been awhile since a Wethersfield team advanced to the Sweet 16, and we'd like to be the one that does that. We're looking forward to going down there and trying to make our mark."

Model Number:
Though imitated, nothing beats the original. Free your toes and enjoy a more natural running experience with the anatomical 5-toe design of Injinji Original Performance Micro Toesocks.
Comments: I absolutely love these socks. I have had less foot problems like blisters and they help regulate the
temperature better. At first it was kind of different having something between my toes, but now all I wear are Injinji socks. They
have them for all uses. I'm not a big runner, but I average 10 miles a week and it's just to keep fit. I'm not running any races.

Wrote about Otis, "Otis", and "Try A Little Tenderness" for the Awl.
Redding recorded "Try A Little Tenderness" because Sam Cooke had. Everything Cooke touched had a golden quality; he made other singers see potential everywhere, even in material that Cooke himself hadn't exactly pushed to the limit (If restraint was Cooke's most potent weapon as an interpreter, it was also code for all that he stood for as a stylist). In the studio, Otis amplified Sam Cooke's "Tenderness," turning it from a handy little number into a vehicle for, well, soul (he nearly did the same with "Tennessee Waltz") and splitting its plaintive core wide open. The more tenderness Redding tries, or suggests trying, the more he found it already waiting there; along with strength, passion and the clarity that the daily grind and macho posturing can block from view. In Redding's hands, "Try A Little Tenderness" became a celebration, not only of romance, but of honesty and self-discovery. Redding, who isn't even talking about his woman but gets just as caught up as if he were, makes the song about discovery, not problem-solving. For the narrator, "Tenderness" is an occasion to tear the house of self down.

About Us
By Young People for Young People
We are Germany's largest aid organization managed by young people. In five Southeast European countries, we carry out youth, education, and reconciliation work for children and adolescents. In Germany, we encourage civic engagement and inform about problems of young people in the Balkans.
Big Goals, Small Steps
Our Vision: All children and young people in the Balkans enjoy equal access to education, lead a life free from poverty and discrimination and engage actively for the benefit of their society. By ourselves we cannot realize this vision. But: If pupils of different ethnic groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina establish a joint student council, if Roma children from extremely poor neighborhoods are able to attend secondary school, if disillusioned young people without vocational training recognise and facilitate their talents, if bored and frustrated youths find a place to learn, to play and simply be youthful, then we have achieved our goal and,
thus, come one step closer to realizing our vision.
Helping People To Help Themselves
Our motto is: Helping people to help themselves. Young people should be able to improve their situation themselves. We empower them to take charge of their future: they improve their own living situation, help peers in their environment and fight for a democratic and peaceful society. "Helping people to help themselves" also means that in the long run our projects will become financially autonomous. This is achieved by supporting them in the acquisition of independent means.
For the Balkans since 1992
In 1992, a small number of students from Bad Kreuznach gathered supplies and, by private cars, transported them to the refugee camps that were established in various places along the Croatian coast. During the Yugoslav wars, immediate humanitarian aid was on our agenda. After the war we rebuilt kindergartens and schools and enhanced peace and reconciliation projects. Today, Schüler Helfen Leben is mainly engaged in the fields of youth work, social inclusion and education.
The Social Day: Each Year, 100,000 Students Participate
Since 1998, the Social Day has been organised by Schüler Helfen Leben and is the largest youth campaign in Germany. The principle is simple: students swap their school environment with a job for one day. They paint their neighbor's fence, mow the Federal Chancellor's lawn or take over the job of a radio host for one day: imagination has no limits. On the Social Day, younger students participate in group activities such as sponsored runs. Wages are donated by the students to support the SHL projects for children and adolescents.
A Unique Project Selection: Hundreds of Young People Vote
Schüler Helfen Leben's project selection is unique: each year on Social Day, 250 students from participating schools get together to decide which new project will be funded. The young people spend one weekend together in order to hear about the social, political and economic situation in the Balkan countries. Additionally, they are informed about current projects, as well as the projects up for election. Previously, these projects were handed in after announcing an open Call for Proposals for organisations in the Balkans. An expert committee of the foundation consisting of youths then reviews the applications prior to the project selection meeting.
Award Winning: Students Donate Over 20 Million Euro
With donations totaling more than 20 million Euros, we were able to implement more than 130 projects in the areas of education, reconciliation and youth work. For our work we have received the Westfälischer Friedenspreis 2002 (Westphalian Peace Prize) and in 2010 the Deutscher Engagementpreis (Engagement Award). In addition, we were awarded the Bundesverdienstmedaille (Medal of Merit), and in 2007 were given the title of a "Place of Ideas in the Land of Ideas".
Die Mitarbeiter des Projekts arbeiten aber nicht nur in dem Zentrum, sondern fahren regelmäßig zu den vielen Roma-Siedlungen und beraten die Menschen unter anderem in Gesundheitsfragen.
The Foundation Schüler Helfen Leben: The Projects in the Balkans Are in Good Hands
In 2002, the Foundation Schüler Helfen Leben was formed. It was the first foundation in Germany which was established by students. Part of the proceeds of the annual Social Day merges into the foundation endowment, so with the interest income we can hedge our foreign projects on a long term basis. With our partners and sponsors, we also implement innovative programs and projects, which cannot be financed by our own funds. With regard to the use of our funds, transparency is our highest priority. We use the funds entrusted to us sparingly and effectively and align our reports to the guidelines of the German Central Institute for Social Issues (DZI). In the Berlin office of the foundation, seven dedicated employees take care of our foreign projects, our international volunteer program, as well as public relations and fundraising. Some of the projects are carried out with own staff on site, others are carried out with cooperation partners. The work of staff and volunteers is supported by a juvenile board of trustees. Assistance is given by an advisory board, in which prominent supporters participate.
Inspire Young People in Germany: The Association Schüler Helfen Leben
The association Schüler Helfen Leben consists of young people from all over Germany. We currently have approximately 200 members. The projects located in Germany are coordinated by seven young people serving a voluntary social year. The board consists of students, pupils and former volunteers. Essential in our work are assets that are involved in reporting, as for example in giving school presentations about our work.
Projects in Five Balkan Countries
Currently, we operate and promote a total of 15 projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Serbia, Albania and Kosovo. These are located in the areas of education, engagement promotion, social inclusion of disadvantaged groups, as well as peace and reconciliation work: In addition to youth centers, we also support projects for children with disabilities, training centers and street work projects for Roma. Moreover, we promote civic engagement.
A Project for Syrian Refugees
Since 2013 we have expanded our project region towards the Middle East where the Syrian civil war has been raging for two years already. Hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees have fled to neighboring countries, thus far exceeding the capacities of the refugee camps. Especially children and adolescents have had traumatizing experiences and many have not been in school for months or even years. In two Jordanian refugee camps Schüler Helfen Leben will fund a program to teach 600 Syrian children and adolescents coping and resilience skills. Through this measure we hope to sustain the Syrian civil society that one day will have to rebuild their home country.

The Details:
AWD Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid completes a 6:57 lap around the 12.8-mile Nurburgring
Average speed of 111.5 mph
Broke previous time by 14sec
Equipped with a total output of 887hp V8 engine, hybrid module and two electric motors equating to a 0-60mph time in less than 2.8sec
Porsche's "there is no substitute" tagline may has just been reaffirmed in Germany. The Porsche 918
Spyder has achieved any automakers dream at the famous Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit. An
incredible time of just six minutes and 57sec was achieved around the 12.8-mile ring. This shaves 14sec
off the previous record. Porsche factory driver Marc Lieb held an average speed of 111.5 mph to
accomplish the goal - take that in for a minute.
"We promised a great deal with the 918 Spyder, namely to redefine driving pleasure, efficiency and
performance. We have kept our word," said Wolfgang Hatz, member of the Porsche AG Board of
Management in charge of Research and Development.
The 3616 lb (unladen with Weissach package) 918 Spyder is powered by three sources: a naturally
aspirated 4.6L V8 engine that produces 608hp and 398lb-ft, 154hp hybrid module on the rear axle and a
127hp electric motor on the front axle. These three powerplants combine to make a total output of
887hp and 590+ lb-ft of torque depending on the power mode, rpm range and gear. When utilizing 7th
gear, the maximum torque rating calculated on the crankshaft reaches 940lb-ft, according to Porsche.
A 7-speed PDK gearbox powers this 918 Spyder allowing it to reach 0-62mph in 2.7sec. In electric mode,
the 918 Spyder reaches 62mph from 0 in 6.9sec.
"The radical hybridization of the 918 Spyder from the very outset is what made this lap record possible"
said Dr. Frank Walliser, head of the 918 Spyder project. "The lap time on the Nordschleife is and remains
the toughest measure of a super sports car. Posting a time of 6 minutes and 57sec, we achieved a result
of which everyone in the development team and at Porsche as a whole is rightly proud."
We wonder how the German automaker will one-up itself next. Whatever it is, we can't wait to see.

A Healthier You - Nutrition Event At The Del City Library
Would you like to eat healthier and be healthier?
If your answer to those questions is "Yes!" the Del City Library, 4509 SE 15th, is presenting a program on Tuesday, June 17, from 6:30 to 7:30pm, that can help you get started on the way to a healthier you.
Darrell Eberly, from the Oklahoma State Department of Health Disease and Prevention Service, will be on hand with information about nutrition and healthy eating.
A recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, conducted by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), found that more than half of American women (50.7 percent) and six in 10 American men (59.4 percent) are overweight or seriously overweight. In another estimate from the NHLBI, nearly 100 million Americans are overweight or obese.
"There's some argument," said Del City librarian Sam Weehunt, "about the degree to which being overweight can impact your health, but it just makes sense that the healthier your body is, the better you'll feel."
For more information about the program or to pre-register, call the Del City Library at 672-1377.
The Metropolitan Library System of Oklahoma County includes 12 libraries and five extension libraries. Libraries include Belle Isle, Capitol Hill, Ralph Ellison, Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library and Southern Oaks in Oklahoma City, as well as Bethany, Choctaw, Del City, Edmond, Midwest City, Village and Warr Acres.

Chadian Children Reunited
An update on the Chadian children from last October in that Zoe's Ark debaucle.
"Kidnapped Chadian kids reunited with their families"
ADRE, Chad (CNN) — Nearly 100 children at the center of an international scandal that left them stranded at an orphanage in remote eastern Chad returned home after nearly five months Friday, and were being reunited with their families.
Some of the children who were nearly abducted by a French charity, pictured in Abeche in November 2007.
It was a six-hour bus ride from Abeche, in eastern Chad, to Adre, on the border with Sudan, where mothers and fathers gathered at the post office waiting for their children.
During the ride, the bus broke down when its radiator burst.
Those accompanying the children were concerned about rebels causing trouble along the way, but that concern turned out to be unfounded.
The 97 children were taken from their homes in October by a then-obscure French charity, L'Arche de Zoe (Zoe's Ark), which claimed they were orphans from Sudan's war-torn Darfur region.
(in my best beavis n butthead voice…"CNN said kidnapped.. heheheheh")
Kenyan Mother and Son
Check this brief article in the SF Chronicle examining the confusion between adoption and abduction.
How child traffickers are exploiting the poor and unsuspecting
Adoption reforms too late to reunite Kenyan mom, son
Katharine Houreld, Associated Press
(03-02) 04:00 PST Mombasa, Kenya –
The offer of a foreign education for her beloved youngest son seemed like a dream come true for Elizabeth Rioba. But the Kenyan mother says a family member tricked her into signing adoption papers, and now it's been five years since she's seen her boy.
The Polish couple that adopted 4-year-old Abednego and renamed him Mikolaj says the procedure was fully legal, took six months and involved Polish diplomats who spoke with the birth parents. Rioba acknowledges she signed papers, but says she did not understand them.
Child protection experts say such tragic misunderstandings are common in a part of the world where adoption is a foreign concept. Criminals can exploit the gap between wealthy Westerners who genuinely want to help and poor Africans who want to do the best they can for their children.

Adele 's hit "Rolling in the Deep" is still rolling. The hit single was just named Song of the Year at the annual BMI London Awards, which celebrate the most-performed songs on U.S. radio and TV.
According to BMI, a performing rights organization, Adele's hit was played more often in 2011 than any other song -- a whopping 1.35 million times in just six months during that year. To date, the track has been played on the radio and on TV in the U.S. more than two million times, which is the equivalent of the song being played back-to-back for 12 straight years.
Other songs that were honored at the ceremony for all the times they were played on the radio and on TV in the U.S. last year included The Script 's "For the First Time," Pink 's "Perfect," "Without You" by David Guetta featuring Usher , Ne-Yo and Pitbull 's "Give Me Everything," Coldplay 's "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall," Jason Derulo 's "Don't Wanna Go Home," Flo Rida 's "Good Feeling" and Adele's other hits "Set Fire to the Rain" and "Someone Like You."
