WOONSOCKET ŌĆö For Division I openers, Woonsocket High coach George Coderre wasnŌĆÖt exactly doing cartwheels when he saw Smithfield on the schedule. Historically, the Sentinels have always given the Villa Novans a battle whenever the two squads have faced one another on the court.
It was no different on Monday night.
Despite never trailing in its I-North contest and building a lead to as much as 14 points, Woonsocket was never in the comfort zone against the pesky Sentinels until the closing minutes of an eventual 53-41 victory at Savaria Gymnasium.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆö The wins havenŌĆÖt exactly come against MurderersŌĆÖ Row. Certainly thatŌĆÖs food for thought with the Providence Friars in the midst of a 10-day exam period, Ed CooleyŌĆÖs first PC team standing at 9-2.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö The state Department of Revenue has laid down a Wednesday deadline for the School Department to submit a plan to clarify its current rate of spending on personnel after the unexpected discovery of a deficit of $2.2 to $2.7 million in last yearŌĆÖs school budget.
If the inquiry points to the incursion of yet another deficit at the end of the current fiscal year, DOR might appoint a fiscal overseer to monitor the cityŌĆÖs expenses, state Revenue Director Rosemary Booth Gallogly said.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö An 80-year-old city man, crossing Main Street after a visit to City Hall, suffered fatal injuries when he was struck by a car Monday morning.
Police Lt. Eugene Jalette said the elderly man was struck while he was in the crosswalk in front of historic Harris Hall at about 11:20 a.m.
ŌĆ£The victim was transported by rescue to Rhode Island Hospital and was pronounced dead at 1:10 p.m. today,ŌĆØ Jalette said.

Aie le courage de te servir de ta propre raison !
When someone call my best friend their best friend i'm just like "HOLDA FUCK UP"
Do not be fooled by me. Do not be fooled by the face I wear, for I wear a mask, a thousand masks. Masks that I'm afraid to remove, and I'm none of them. Pretending is an art that is second nature to me, but do not be fooled, for God's sake, do not be fooled. I give you the impression that I am sure that all is well and smoothly, both inside and out, I'm the same confidence and I fly above all, that The water is calm and I am in control and I need one, but do not believe me. On the surface, I am smooth and flawless, but it is only my mask, always different and always hidden. Below, there is no room for complacency. Reside below the confusion, fear and loneliness. But I hide. I do not want anyone to know. I panic at the thought of my weakness exposed. That's why I frantically create a mask to hide behind a nonchalant sophisticated facade, to help me pretend, to protect me from eyes that know. But this look is precisely my salvation, my only hope, and I know it. If it is followed by acceptance and if it is followed by love. This is the only thing that can liberate me from myself, the walls of the prison that I built myself, barriers that I laid with so much effort. This is the only thing that can assure me that I can not provide for myself, I really value. But I did not tell you. I dare not, I am afraid to do so. I'm afraid your glance will not be followed by acceptance, will not be followed by love. I'm afraid you'll think less of me, that you laugh and your laugh would kill me. I'm afraid that deep down I am nothing, that you see it and reject me. So I play my game, desperate to pretend, with a facade without insurance and a trembling child within Thurs Thus begins the beautiful but unreal parade of masks, and my life becomes a front. I chat with you so sweet ephemeral subjects. I tell you everything and nothing, and nothing of what is everything, this crying within me. So when I go through my script do not be fooled by this serenade. Please, listen carefully and try to hear what I say not unto thee, that I would be able to tell you what I need to tell you to survive, but what I can say. I do not like hiding. I do not like playing superficial games. I want to stop playing. I want to be genuine and spontaneous and me, but you gotta help me. You've got to hold my hand even if it's the last thing I seem to want. You're the only person who can clear my eyes the blank stare of a living death. You're the only one who can invite me to life. Whenever you are kind, gentle and encouraging, each time you try to understand because you pay attention, my heart begins to grow wings growing, very small wings, but wings! With your power to touch and make me feel, you can infuse my life. I want you to know. I want you to know how you're an important person to me, how you can be a creator, a creator to the person I am. If you choose to. You alone can break down the wall behind which I tremble, you alone can remove my mask, you alone can release me from my world shadowed by panic, my lonely prison, if you choose to. Please, choose it. Not next to me. Several years to believe that I am worth nothing erected very strong walls. The more you near me I can fight more blindly. It's irrational, but despite what the books say about man often I am irrational. I struggle against exactly the thing I need. But it is said that love is stronger than the walls and that's where my hope lies. Please, try to push the walls with firm hands but gentle as a child is very sensitive. Who am I, you may wonder you? I am someone you know very well. For I am every man you meet and I am every woman you meet.

Larry, Pinconning, MI August 4, 2014
"These are crunchie little treats... Mmm good."
Chas, Pickerington, Ohio July 17, 2014
"I found this company while searching for roasted fava beans, and ended ordering several items in addition to them. Great taste and wonderful packaging too! The sample of Berry Mix was a big hit and will definitely be added to my next order."
Danna , Knoxville, TN June 25, 2014
"Found your site searching for roasted Fava beans after I had some on vacation in FL. I have a nut sensitivity and am always looking for healthy nut substitutes. So, I found nuts.com and spent a day enthralled in it's variety. My order was huge and there were still so many things I wanted to try. When, it got here today, I had to open everything and taste a bite. Loved the honey roasted soy beans and sunflower seeds. Loved the roasted fava beans and chick peas. Also the veggie chips were great. I was so worried about my NY Espresso Mix getting here without melting. It's summertime and Tennessee is not cool. So, I chose the heat resistant packaging and still worried. When it showed up today, the packaging was getting pretty warm but my mix was fine. Haven't tried the sample of mixed berries you put in but will. Thanks!"
desiree, Talbott, TN June 18, 2014
"couldn't stop eating them... what a great snack to replace the not so good snalcks"
Susan, all over, OR and NV June 15, 2014
"Ordered giant Fava beans and the roasted Fava Beans. Great service and will be trying more of the various roasted beans / nuts. Thank you"
Karen, Traverse City, MI May 31, 2014
"Was so excited to receive the Nut(ty) box today....only 2 days after ordering!! (Awesome shipping people!). Love everything: the roasted Fava beans (salted and spicy), kale chips, veggie chips, dark chocolate covered almonds and most of all, the mochi rice cakes!! They're like sweet, little, adorable marshmallows....just taste MUCH better! The only thing that I did not like, at all, were the roasted chickpeas......just turned to powder in my mouth....not a pleasant taste.
All in all, great products, super service, and mind blowing quick delivery! And, thank you for the free sample of dried berries.....will add those to my next order!"
Anna, Shelby Township, MI April 17, 2014
"Awesome! We just are just nutty over the roasted fava beans. First tried them at a restaurant we dined at while in Mississippi. The bartender told us to go to nuts.com to purchase more! Thank you!"
Michelle McKean, Huntington, NY April 14, 2014
"Love this company! Not only did my order arrive quickly but beautifully packaged - you know this company cares about quality! The roasted fava beans were an impulse purchase and my goodness they didn't disappoint! I ordered the small bag (which incidentally is filled to the brim and they are hearty!) My entire family loved them and I will be ordering more for sure! Thank you!"
Maria Logan, Sayreville, NJ April 6, 2014
"I first ordered from you this past Christmas as a gift for my husband. He loved everything I ordered but his favorite was the Roasted Fava Beans. He loved them so much that we bought another bag and gifted them to my parents, who are off the boat Italians that soak / roast there own fava beans. They loved them so much that they shared with the other family members this past month and many have ordered from you. Great deal at a great price when you get the 20 pounder! You know it is a good product when you get the seal of approval from the Italians who stopped making there own and switched to yours!!! Thank you - we are so happy to have found this site!"
Aaron, Toronto, Canada February 27, 2014
"I can't say enough good things about my recent order. Quick shipping to Canada, no issues at all.
Everything I ordered was top notch! LOVE the roasted fava beans and the cacao/almond/raisin clusters especially. Will definitely order again and again"

CommScope leapt into the publishing world today by releasing a nearly 200-page e-book—authored by many of its engineers and technical directors—titled Understanding the RF Path. The book reports on complicated technical issues from the wireless communications industry in easy-to-read text, informing wireless engineers, business and marketing professionals, and other industry players about the state and evolution of wireless networks and infrastructure.
CommScope's new Understanding the RF Path e-book can be accessed as an app on iPhones and other Apple products, Android devices and the Kindle Fire. (Photo: Business Wire)
"Understanding the RF Path brings the wealth of knowledge about wireless networks that exists inside CommScope out into the world," said Philip Sorrells, vice president, Strategic Marketing, CommScope. "This book has enough technical information in it to satisfy engineers while translating jargon into language the average industry person can understand. Our hope is that this book will preserve and advance knowledge across the wireless industry and beyond."
Understanding the RF Path sheds light on the following topics:
- History and evolution of wireless communications
- Cell site construction and network planning
- Technology basics of antennas, remote radio heads, transmission lines and other RF Path components
- Solutions for co-siting, passive intermodulation (PIM), network reliability and site monitoring
- Specific applications such as distributed antenna systems, back-up power, microwave backhaul and network protection
What's in it for readers?
- Installers will find recommended installation techniques.
- Network designers can use the PIM system calculators.
- Executives, marketers and product buyers can view embedded videos and gain insight into network concepts and equipment.
- Entry-level telecom professionals and students can expand their knowledge of critical wireless components.
- Understanding the RF Path also includes an overview of global frequency spectrum configurations, a glossary of wireless terms and acronyms, and author biographies in the appendices.
"We think there is something for everyone in this book, from a high-level view of the wireless communication industry down to some nitty-gritty physics formulas," said Sorrells. "Publishing Understanding the RF Path is part of our ongoing effort—including the CommScope Infrastructure Academy and Andrew Institute—to educate industry players and promote best practices at the cell site and with other technology applications."
A self-paced, online course that guides students through the material available in the Understanding the RF Path e-book is available through the CommScope Infrastructure Academy. The CommScope Infrastructure Academy delivers a comprehensive suite of online and in-person training resources to help organizations achieve high quality infrastructure design and installation. Academy instructors leverage CommScope's proven expertise in solutions for data centers, intelligent buildings, in-building wireless, intelligent infrastructure management and the RF path. CommScope also offers hands-on training courses for wireless network installers and network engineers through the Andrew Institute.
Understanding the RF Path presents knowledge that has been accumulated over the last 75 years at CommScope and companies it acquired, including the former Andrew Corporation. The Andrew® name now serves as CommScope's brand for its complete portfolio of wireless solutions.
Understanding the RF Path is available in digital format for viewing online and as an iTunes, Google Play and Amazon app. To access the apps, users need to request a user name and password. The Understanding the RF Path e-book can also be downloaded in PDF form and easily shared through social media. CommScope plans for it to be the first in a book series about various communications industry topics.

Tornado Disaster Info.
This page is dedicated to the thousands of men and women who work in Alabama's hospitals and responded to the severe storms and tornadoes that devastated much of the state. There were so many stories of employees who drove back to the hospital immediatly after the storm hit, dodging trees and downed powerlines to get to their patients and help. There were also those employees who stayed at the hospital for two or three shifts to assist in any way they could, not knowing at the time what damage might have been done to their own property. There were stories of hundreds of community members who sought shelter in the local hospital or who came to the hospital aftewards in need of oxygen or basic medications.
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those affected by this tragedy. Because recovery is on-going, and will be for some time, we will continue to list the resources shown below.
Tornado Recovery Action Commission AppointedIn an effort to study the state's preparedness and response during disasters like the tornado outbreak on April 27, 2011, Governor Bentley recently appointed a Tornado Recovery Action Commission (TRAC) to gather information and submit a report on their findings by mid-January. The 19-member Commission will hold community meetings in areas of the state affected by the storms and also engage a team of researchers to look into issues relating to the storms and the response that followed. Headed by Ron Gray, a retired aerospace executive from Huntsville, the commission members appointed are as follows: Suzanne Durham, CEO, YWCA of Central Alabama, Birmingham; Dallas Fanning, retired Director of Urban Development, Huntsville; Grayson Hall, President and CEO, Regions Financial Corporation, Birmingham; David Hannah, business owner, Crossville; Evelyn Mauldin, Vice President, Bank Independent, Sheffield; Dr. Max Michael, Dean, UAB School of Public Health, Birmingham; Dr. Keith Morrow, Physician, Hackleburg Medical Clinic, Hackleburg; Brenda Parker, Principal, Alberta Elementary School, Tuscaloosa; Dr. Malcolm Portera, Chancellor, University of Alabama System, Tuscaloosa; Dr. Cathy Randall, Chairman, Pettus Randall Holdings, Tuscaloosa; Isabel Rubio, Executive Director, Hispanic Interest Coalition of Alabama, Birmingham; Guice Slawson, Senior President, Southeast Wood Treating, Montgomery; Zeke Smith, Executive Vice President of External Affairs, Alabama Power Company, Birmingham; Finis St. John IV, Partner, St. John and St. John, Cullman; Rex Vaughn, Vaughn Farms, Huntsville; Michael Warren, President and CEO, Children's Health System, Birmingham; and Randall Woodfin, Attorney, Pratt City.

I know for a fact that here in the USA there are wireless appliance remote controls. For instance, you have two devices that you buy together: a switch (literally like you'd find on a wall, but portable and can be hung up) and something you plug into the outlet (which you can plug your appliance into). Once you flip the switch, you can turn that appliance on or off. I've seen them at CVS, but I'm sure you can find them anywhere. Check Amazon.
Otherwise, maybe my followers will be able to help. Anyone?

In some sense, just about everything we do in life is toxic. There is a probability that just by crossing the street I will be hit by a car. Physical exertion and exercise can precede the onset of a heart attack or stroke. Vegetables, meats and just about every food source on the planet can potentially contain copious amounts of carcinogens. Sunlight releases high levels of toxic rays that damage our cells. Frankly, I find the world to be a pretty scary place.
But let's clarify that for a moment. Toxicity is typically measured by dose, and in this case the "copious amounts of carcinogens" in everyday foods tend to be rather low on the scale of what our bodies can handle. Similarly, the probabilities of major injury after completing daily activities like taking a walk across the street or jog down the lane are pretty low. Part of the reason why we do so well amid this dangerous world is that our bodies have evolved strategies to defend us. We have well-developed sensory and motor systems to guide us across the street just as we also have highly efficient biochemical machinery to repair DNA damage caused by sunlight or by the metabolism of chemicals like food or alcohol.
In this context, the fact that the DNA in our bodies is constantly undergoing damage is less of a concern that it might immediately appear. Nonetheless, there's no reason to be slack. It is currently believed that the slow accumulation of damage to DNA (among other things) plays a critically important role in aging and age-related disease. Thus, the causes and consequences of DNA damage in the brain are definitely worth studying.
A recent study published in Nature Neuroscience adds one more to the list of potential harms: thinking can damage your DNA. Actually, it's not so much "thinking" or doing mental tasks as it is increased "brain activity" in specific regions of the brain (keep in mind that your brain is very active even when you rest or sleep).
The researchers, operating out of the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease in California, determined that common experiences such as exploring a novel environment or mild brain activity could promote rapid increases in DNA damage within the brains of mice. For example, the researchers found that when mice were allowed to explore a novel environment, tissue extracted from parietal cortex and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus (which is often activated during novel experiences) had 2-3 fold higher levels of a marker of DNA repair (called γH2A.X) than mice which had remained in their home cage. Mice which were returned to their cages for 24 hours after the novel experience had normal levels of the marker, suggesting that the damaged DNA had been repaired. This effect mimicked the increase γH2A.X found in Alzheimer Disease model mice expressing neurotoxic levels of beta amyloid.
Additional experiments further demonstrated that activation of visual cortex by presenting mice with a bar grating to one side of the visual field only produced increased levels of γH2A.X in the contralateral (activated) region of visual cortex. Similarly, lateralized (one-sided) optogenetic stimulation of the mouse striatum produced selective increases in γH2A.X in the activated side (selective activation can be easily confirmed because side-specific activation of some striatal circuits will cause mice to rotate ~60 degrees when walking). Most notable, the researchers found that cells in multiple regions of the brain including dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, parietal and visual cortex and striatum all had higher levels of a marker of DNA damage
A final line of evidence strongly supported the role of normal brain activity in producing DNA damage. The authors had groups of mice either stay in their home cages or enter a novel environment (n = 6-9 per group). Immediately afterwards, dentate gyrus tissue was extracted and cell nuclei were run on a neutral pH single-cell electrophoresis procedure called the "comet assay". Using this assay, nuclear DNA generally remains clustered together in a little ball, but when DNA has been damaged, fragments of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) can break off and escape the nucleus. These fragments appear to form a comet-like smear behind the clustered nuclear DNA (see right). The authors found that the percentage of dentate gyrus nuclei with comet tails increased from ~15% in the control group to ~35% in the novel exploration group. This finding mimicked the results found when neurons were exposed to low-dose gamma irradiation, a treatment known to cause dsDNA damage.
So what's the story, does normal brain activity cause toxic DNA damage?
For starters, DNA breaks are not uncommon. Every time a cell divides it must duplicate its DNA, a process which requires the DNA double-helix to be unwound for the replication machinery to bind to and copy each DNA nucleotide. Before this unwinding process can occur, a break must be made in one strand of the DNA. Because these single-stranded breaks must occur so frequently, every cell in the body has machinery called "ligases" to repair them. Other forms of damage can occur which only impact one of the two strands of DNA. For example, ionizing or ultraviolet radiation or various oxidative species produced during metabolism can cause nucleic acids to exchange in incorrect based pair into the DNA double helix. However, if this damage is restricted to only one sidestrand of the double helix the complementary strand can be used as a template to replace the original base.
In contrast, when damage occurs to both strands of DNA in the same location, different mechanisms of repair may be required. For example, if the phosphodiester bonds that connect each DNA nucleotide to its neighbor are broken on both strands at once, this double-stranded break cannot be fixed so easily. There are two key mechanisms for repairing double-stranded breaks. In dividing cells, once S-phase is complete there are two identical copies of each chromosome (called sister chromatids), which provide an exact template for repairing double-stranded DNA in a process called homologous recombination. However, most cells in the adult brain have permanently ceased dividing (although note that the dentate gyrus, is one of the few places were cells do continue to divide), which means that double-stranded breaks must be repaired through an alternate mechanism, called non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). In this instance, there are no identical sister chromatids to copy, which means that broken ends of DNA must be attached directly, which can frequently lead to errors (i.e. when the ends are not compatible).
See a video illustration of NHEJ, below:
DNA repair is critically important because cells with aberrant DNA can fail to function appropriately if protein or RNA products start to work incorrectly. In more extreme cases, these cells may be targeted for cell death or apoptosis or (much more rarely) may become cancerous and start dividing uncontrollably. This could be a major problem in the adult brain because few cells in this structure are replenished by cell division, which means that cells which die due to extensive DNA damage may be gone forever. Given that the human brain appears to function more-or-less appropriately for many decades, it is probably safe to assume that DNA damage is not accumulating at a rapid rate across vast areas of the average adult brain (although this may change in aging). In part this is because of DNA repair machinery can fix many of these breaks–although, as I note above, if the process by which double-stranded breaks are repaired in the brain is highly error prone, then DNA repair may not be sufficient to contain the damage. For this reason, it's generally been assumed that double-stranded breaks are relatively rare in the adult brain, apart from pathological situations like tumour development or age-related decline and neurodegeneration.
If this most recent study is correct, then our brains may be producing large levels of double-stranded DNA breaks literally every day, just by undergoing normal function.
So either the DNA repair machinery is performing unexpectedly well (very few errors), or the results of this study are worth another look. Skeptical about the results myself, I had a quick look at the literature and some of the scholarly comments accompanying the paper itself.
What pops out as most apparent is that in virtually all of the experiments, the authors didn't actually measure DNA damage directly. Instead, they measured the modification of γH2A.X, a histone protein which is phosphorylated before binding directly to regions of DNA damage. Cancer researchers have noted that increases in γH2A.X levels correspond closely to increases in DNA damage, suggesting that it is a good marker of DNA damage. On the other hand, there are some studies which indicate that this histone protein is modified in the absence of DNA damage. If this is the case, and this marker indicates not only DNA repair but also epigenetic regulation, then the results of this study would be consistent with gene regulation induced by brain activity, rather than DNA damage.
The one direction demonstration that brain activity induces DNA damage comes from the "comet" assay I mention above. If the results of this assay are inconclusive, then this latter regulatory interpretation of the above results is much more plausible. Writing in the accompanying commentary to this paper, Karl Herrup, Jianmin Chen and Jiali Li note their surprise:
"And yet, we find ourselves asking, "How can this possibly be?" Do the neurons of our brain really do serious damage to their genome every time we execute a mental task? If 2 h of thinking is enough to trigger DSBs in even a small percentage of our nerve cells, then each cell must put its genome in jeopardy many times over the course of a year."
They argue that the assay might cause the DNA damage that is seen in the "tail" of the comet. That is, if novel exploration by mice causes changes in gene expression and DNA conformation, then this DNA may be more susceptible to mechanical damage caused by the assay itself.
In support of this perspective, I will note that according to the results of this study, approximately 15% of cell nuclei extracted from the dentate gyrus of control animals had comet tails. While I am not a cell biology expert, I noted that a recent Nature Protocols paper indicates that the specific version of the comet assay these authors used (neutral pH gel, see bottom image to right) appears to produce short comet tails in control nuclei, even in the absence of any DNA-damaging gamma irradiation (0 Gy). This method was chosen in preference to the above "alkali" method because it allows definitive demonstration of double-stranded (rather than single-stranded) DNA breaks. However, if it increases the background level of DNA damage, then it may suggest a potential confounding interpretation. Also, DNA damage using this assay is generally measured by measuring the comet tail moment (or the length of the tail * the proportion of DNA in tail), whereas in the present study the researchers only reported a difference in the proportion of nuclei with a tail. The tail lengths and proportion of DNA in the tail (tail moment) were unchanged in the novel exploration relative to the control group. Thus, it might be possible that the comet assay indicates greater susceptibility to mechanical damage (background noise) after brain activity, rather than dsDNA damage itself.
Regardless, Herrup et al suggest that these two distinct interpretations (brain activity induces epigenetic changes vs brain activity induces DNA damage) are easily testable:
"If DNA damage is occurring during normal neuronal activity, then we should see other components of the DSB repair pathway, such as activation of ATM, a phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase, and its downstream target proteins, the tumor suppressor p53 and the checkpoint kinase Chk2. But whether the story is one of DNA breaks or fragile sites induced by modification, the findings should give pause to neuroscientists in nearly every discipline. They are solid findings suggesting that there are new and possibly unexplored genetic or epigenetic regulatory mechanisms used by nerve cells during normal nervous system function."
Like always with new research, It sounds as though this preliminary study will be just the beginning of new insights into how the brain functions.

Polygamy emphasizes the foreignness of a culture or species
Indexes: Otherness Tropes, Marriage Tropes
As [maternal grandmother] was in early clan marriage (Stone Gang) and shared six husbands with another woman, identity of maternal grandfather open to question. But was often so, and I'm content with the grandpappy she picked.People of strange, exotic cultures are often depicted as being far more open to extended marriages, with three or more participants, than we are. Common in Speculative Fiction, this helps emphasize just how different these people are from us, especially if they are human or Humanoid Aliens that resemble us. In most of the world today, marriage is limited to two people at a time, but that has not always been the case, there are a few places where it's not the case now, and some authors like to speculate that it may not be true in the future. Historically, the most common form of extended marriage was one man with multiple wives. The technical term for this is "polygyny", and it has appeared in a wide variety of cultures. For this reason, adventure stories set in an exotic corner of the Earth are most likely to feature polygny. To some extent, this can be Truth in Television; more of the world allows or at least accepts polygamy than many westerners realize. In works set on other worlds, all sorts of extended marriages can be found, often associated with a Free-Love Future. Extended marriage is often shown as an element of both utopias and dystopias. And when it comes to exotic aliens with bizarre alien biology, all bets are off. Monogamy may not even be physically possible. Subtrope of Polyamory. The existence of this trope is often a necessity for a Marry Them All scenario. See the Useful Notes page, For The Love Of Many, for a broader discussion of the general topic.

1. You've heard that stretching before exercise is a good way to prevent injury, but is that really true?
Fitness expert Benjamin weighs in on the evidence in his blog Archetype Fitness on Mill Valley Patch.
"Before I continue any further, I want to point out that this article is not aimed at bashing stretching. Improving flexibility and range of motion in joints is a fundamental aspect of your health and fitness levels.

2. While most folks know that homeschooling is on the rise, more parents are also turning to virtual homeschooling as a way to educate their children.
Blogger Maria Brophywrote about her child's experiences in a poston San Clemente Patch.
Brophy said the first year for her son was tough, but her son learned to manage his time after six months, which made a huge difference.
"Our greatest benefit was that our son was able to learn to control his own time, and to be self-motivated and efficient.
These are crucial skills for entrepreneurs, inventors and innovators; the movers and shakers of the world.
The ability to create a productive day, on your own, without being told to by an authority figure, is extremely powerful."
3. Sometimes a blog post can be a thank-you for volunteers, which is exactly what the folks at Supporting Urban Neighborhoods (SUN) did in a poston Carlsbad Patch.

She also posted photos of the event, which showed happy volunteers doing lots of great work!

Blogger Terry Pfeifer walks readers through how to weigh the pros and cons of having a band or a DJ at your wedding.
And no matter what you choose, probably the most important advice is: "No matter which you choose, make sure you sit down with your entertainment and go over exactly how you want the reception to go. Make sure they have your "must play" songs as well as your "absolutely not ever" songs."

Razer Will Honor Fake 90% Discount Coupon
Razer will make good on the fake 90% discount coupon that many customers used to place purchases in the company's UK store.
Razer will make good on the fake 90% discount coupon that many customers used to place purchases in the company's UK store.
There's no denying it: The advent of the daily deal has changed the way bargain hunters shop. In the tech and social media world, daily deals have become a bandwagon of sorts -- something every other startup has been tacking onto their offerings to start generating revenue. And generate revenue they do. These web-based coupons are the sole business of Groupon, which just saw an astoundingly profitable IPO.
McDonald's launched an interactive video billboard campaign in Sweden that lets users play a digital Pong game, with winners receiving free food at a nearby McDonald's restaurant. In a playful equivalent of making prospective customers sing for their supper, whoever can last 30 seconds in this simple game wins free grub. The system's designers wanted to make it as easy as possible to begin playing, requiring users to simply enter a URL in their mobile phone's browser.
If you're shopping online, especially for things like travel or computer hardware, you'd be remiss to not at least Google for coupon codes that can save you some money. One of the names likely to pop up in the results when you do so is RetailMeNot, a service that aggregates coupon codes from around the Web, and lets users vote and comment to determine which codes actually work. Now, the company is moving into the realm of offline coupons with RetailMeNot Printable.

(CNN) Holiday office parties can be fun, but most employees would rather have some cash. That's according to an annual survey on the career site Glassdoor-dot-com. They polled more than two-thousand Americans will full-time jobs. 73-percent would rather ditch the holiday party and get a bonus instead. Five-percent want to socialize with colleagues.
Better get your best party outfit ready anyway. More than 80-percent of companies are planning a holiday party this year...according to a separate survey by an international outplacement and consulting firm. That's up from 68-percent of companies last year.

The sheriff's office says a wanted man and his two missing daughters have been tracked down in Montana.
The girls, Madison and Mckala, are doing well, detectives said Thursday morning. Detectives say Edward Peters kidnapped his children. He did not have custody of them when he took them out of state.
He took off with the kids two weeks ago.
Deputies say Peters removed a GPS ankle monitor. He violated several court orders, and there was a warrant out for his arrest.
The monitor was found off the northbound lanes of I-75 in Hernando County.
They were all found in Sweetwater, Montana, and Peters is now in custody.

Depite all the talk across the nation—from families around dinner tables to Occupiers to President Obama—of the need to make college more affordable, it just got a little tougher to go to the University of Massachusetts.
Last week the school's Board of Directors voted to raise tuition by 4.9 percent, raising the average tuition from $11,901 to $12,481. The hike is expected to generate $25 million.
But in passing the increase, the board turned the spotlight back on the State House by promising to hold off on any further increases if the Legislature restores its share of funding to 50 percent.
After the tuition hike, approved in Dartmouth June 6, the state's share of funding on the five campuses will drop lower than the 45 it paid this year, according to the Boston Globe.
Governor Deval Patrick said he did not lobby against the increase, but the night before the Dartmouth vote, he sent the board a message saying he objected to the idea. Patrick said he hopes to raise more revenue to support state colleges and universities, but did not specify how he wants to do that.

What ports do I need to forward in port forwarding? What ports for nmrih server?August 31st, 2012 by Brentonator
First, figure out what your public IP is. It's easy go HERE and it tells you right at the top.
Second, make sure you have 27015 (TCP & UDP) forwarded on your router. I'm not going to explain how to port forward because it's different for everyone depending on your modem brand and internet provider. But you can go to portforward.com which is one of the best places to learn how to port forward.
Required Ports:
TCP 27015 (only if you need rcon)
After you have opened your ports you can confirm if your port is open using You Get Signal's Open Port Checker
Other suggested ports for No More Room in Hell (and other Source games):
UDP 27000 to 27017
TCP 27030 to 27039
Note: Your ISP may prevent you from opening ports. Also, certain routers do not support the feature despite having the option to do so. Additional configuration options may override opening your port.

Monday the Syrian regime announced that presidential elections will be held June 3. The State Department dismissed the news. "The fact that you would even think you can hold free and fair elections in the middle of a civil war," said a State Department spokesman, "is absurd."
It is surely the case that the reelection of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad will not be free and fair. The last time Syrians went to the polls in 2007, Assad won with 97.62 percent of the vote, a slight increase over his 97.29 tally in 2000. And this was all before Assad started shooting at unarmed protestors in March 2011. Now some 160,000 corpses later, it's unlikely many Syrians will risk making their opposition to Assad known by voting against him. So yes, as the State Department notes, presidential elections in Syria, and especially now in the middle of a civil war, are absurd. The question then is, why is the Obama administration campaigning on behalf of Assad?
Assad will almost surely run uncontested as he did the last two times out, but Syria's political future will not be decided at the ballot box. It will be determined on the field of battle where the two options are Assad and the opposition. While the White House has repeatedly claimed that Assad has lost his legitimacy to govern Syria, it has also made its displeasure with the opposition clear since the beginning of the uprising. Indeed, the administration has reasoned that it is because the opposition is fractious and fragmented that it merits neither the White House's full political support, nor sufficient military assistance to topple the regime.
The big problem, says the White House, is that the opposition lacks a comprehensive and inclusive political program. "Obviously, a democratic transition is more than removing the Assad regime," former secretary of state Hillary Clinton said in 2011. "It means setting Syria on the path of the rule of law and protecting the universal rights of all citizens regardless of sect or ethnicity or gender." The new government, Clinton said at the time, must be "'measured, deliberate and utterly devoid of revenge."
The administration's public statements regarding a post-Assad Syria showed that it misunderstood not only the nature of sectarian conflict, but also the thrust of Assad's particular project. It was Assad after all who had established the rules of the bloody game of revenge that the White House warned his victims not to play. The regime's campaign of sectarian cleansing is meant to ensure that the Sunni community's inevitable desire to call in blood debts would compel the Alawites and other minority communities to align themselves with the regime. As Tony Badran, fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, wrote in 2012, the "pattern of deliberate sectarian killings [is] the product of cold deliberation by Assad. The Syrian dictator is seeking to irredeemably tie the fate of the Alawites to his own."
The administration's insistence that a post-Assad dispensation show special care to minorities, many of whom have fought alongside Assad, openly backed him, or profited from his depredations, is evidence of a ghoulish indifference to the regime's victims, the vast majority of whom have been Sunnis. Furthermore, it echoes and substantiates Assad's strategic messaging campaign that he, unlike the Sunni majority opposition, protects Syria's minority communities.

When President Obama abruptly called off the bombing strike on Syria and decided to seek the approval of Congress, he surprised no one more than French president François Hollande. France, the only country set to join the United States in the raid, was left in the lurch. Hollande was humiliated and isolated. Now, if an assault on Syria occurs, France is unlikely to participate.
It now seems to be the general consensus that President Obama's Syria policy is a contradictory mess. But that's only how it appears on the surface. Probe a bit deeper and it's very seriously deranged.
Americans watch our tragedy-of-errors Syria policy from the safety of houses and apartments in suburbs and cities 5,000 miles from the conflict. Israelis are next door, and two weeks ago—when an American strike and possible Syrian counterstrike at Israel seemed imminent—they were lining up for gas masks.
There are no such lines in Tel Aviv today. But what can Israelis make of the Syria crisis now, after the Obama speech and with action moving to Geneva and to the United Nations? What are the lessons they may learn?
THE WEEKLY STANDARD podcast with senior editor Lee Smith on a resurgent Russia's growing appetite for influence in the middle east.
Mike Doran tells the Washington Post what's going on with Syria, Russia, and the United States:
Get up to speed on the latest developments in Syria with senior editor Lee Smith in this edition of THE WEEKLY STANDARD podcast.
The statesmanlike case for voting Yes on the congressional resolution to use force against the Assad regime has been made widely and well by conservative foreign policy thinkers. At the end, the case boils down to this: As a policy matter, a Yes vote may be problematic in all kinds of ways. But a No vote would likely be disastrous for the nation in very clear ways. Statesmanship requires choosing the problematic over the disastrous.
American interests in Syria are clear: preventing terrorists from acquiring chemical weapons; depriving Iran of its most important ally and staging-base in the Middle East; and preventing al Qaeda from establishing an uncontested safe haven in the Levant. Reasonable people can disagree about the extent to which President Obama's proposed "limited strike" will secure these interests, but not about whether the interests are real or vital. Bashar al-Assad has one of the largest chemical weapons arsenals in the world.
Barack Obama's former defense secretary, Leon Panetta, says the president has a "responsibility" to act in Syria.
Mugged by Middle East reality, President Obama and Secretary Kerry seem finally to have awakened to the necessity to act—unilaterally and un-apologetically. That's heartening. Still, do they understand that the American action has to be decisive? After all, as the late Mike Scully put it, liberals sometimes get mugged by reality—but then fail to press charges. Will Obama press charges? And pressing the appropriate charges in this case means removing Assad.
The week started with the White House seemingly determined to punish Syrian president Bashar al-Assad for his use of chemical weapons, but on Wednesday Obama let the air out of the ball. Last night on the PBS Newshour he explained he may yet choose not to pull the trigger. "I've not made a decision," said Obama. "I have gotten options from our military, had extensive discussions with my national security team."
A big group of foreign policy experts, from across the ideological spectrum, is calling on President Obama to impose "meaningful consequences on the Assad regime" for their use of chemical weapons.

Have you taken the measures to keep your kids online browsing safe? Ok, so, a considerable number of parents might have installed firewalls or maybe monitoring applications on their PCs or laptops… even tablets, if you thought of outsmarting them.
There's a bigger problem than a PC now… You probably guessed it… mobile phones! This is how the majority of the parents describe it "it's the menace that's taken away our kids from us!" With mobile app developers bringing forth all these exciting mobile apps every day, kids are the first ones to download them and try them out. And, we can't ignore the easy access to the internet can be – the hub of information… or trouble!
It's either text messaging or Facebooking, MySpace or browsing through social networks. In fact, they hardly use their PCs anymore, because their dependency on their mobile phones to be able to access their emails or Facebook account has grown massively… adversely, rather.
To top it off, ever since Facebook has acquired Instagram, a photo-sharing application, apparently, users seem to be increasingly hinged to their smartphones ever more than before.
Various studies have been conducted in order to study parental monitoring and it shows that a comparatively lesser number of parents monitor their kids cell phones, however, they are more concerned about their internet usage via PCs and laptops. This is to all those oblivious parents – you can't ignore the power you have handed them with in the form of mobile phones. After all, the easy access to the internet and from the internet to what not, is but something that can be given less weightage.
What you need is to be educated on how you can improve your parental monitoring methods and stretch it beyond from desktop-PCs to mobile phones… well, you must, if emphasis needs to be put to accentuate the importance of it:
1. Set out time durations to allow your kids to use their mobile phones. No kidding. Do it.
2. Identify the "off limits" timings for their mobile phone use.
3. Sit down and talk to your kids about what consequences they might have to face if they break the rules you set for them. Oh and remember, when doing that, better make it sound serious.
4. If you don't know about smartphones, teach yourself. Study the phone's features and capabilities to be able to use this technical know-how in times of need.
5. Talk to them about what to text and what not to text – define the ethics of texting and make sure you tell them about not sharing their personal details with strangers or people they just got in touch with.
6. If you haven't, you must – install parental control software on their phones.
7. Check their phone activity on a regular basis.
8. View their contact list, see who're friends with. If you find funny names or absurd nicknames, you better not take it lightly.
9. Keep a watch on any late night calls. Better safe than sorry, right?
10. Remember to tell your kids about not communicating with just any Tom, dick or Harry online. They better be careful since there are pedophiles online, pretending to be kids.
You might be playing a stellar part in keeping your kids safe, but how much attention have you paid towards their mobile phone use, anyway? If not enough, you can now.

Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse Release Date
Not much has been shared about the upcoming Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse video game but Activision was kind enough to release some screenshots of the upcoming multiplayer component.
They also revealed details of the game's 'Multiplayer Challenges', which will let you invite up to four friends to assume the roles of popular characters like Brian, Peter, Quagmire, Meg, and America's favorite baby Stewie as they head into an "epic battle" or a "wild team battle". No more details were shared but the multiplayer is said to be keeping with the Family Guy 'spirit', with "unexpected gags and cameos at every turn".
Activision has announced that Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse will be released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on November 20th in North America.
Here are some new screenshots of the challenges:

1) need if you NEED it-- ie, it will be a big upgrade on what you have, even if you can't use for a level or two.
2) greed if you want it for money, skills, whatever.
3) pass if you have needed on the BOP before this and don't need this one.
I generally ask if I can need, even when I'm the only one who can use something. That's politics, though.
AS someone mentioned, a BOP no-one can use but which can be DEed is usually passed on and DEed, then /random ed for.
I think that someone rolling need on a gem because "I need to raise my skill!" would go over about as well as someone rolling /need for a BOP because they "need to raise their skill!"
