Xaghra is famous for its prehistoric sites, Calypso's cave, the temples of Ggantija and the Neolithic site of Santa Verna, which lie nearby.
The present village however, has a more recent history. It became a parish in 1688, but the main church was only built during the mid 19th century. It is one of the most beautiful of Gozo's churches, with its richly decorated interior, gilt sculptures, Italian marbles and paintings. The village also has two unusual grottos – Ta Xerri and Ta Ninu, both of them beneath private houses, but open to the public. The grottos have remarkable stalactites and stalagmites.
The village also has two atypical museums – a Toy Museum and an old wheat-grinding windmill. The mill, still in working order, has been fully restored and houses a collection of agricultural and domestic artefacts from past centuries.

Why it's so hard to serve healthy food in schools
The White House waded into in the middle of a Congressional food fight over how to regulate school lunch.
The debate stems from the Health Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, which put in place new rules aimed at getting kids to eat healthier by requiring schools to serve whole grains and more fruits and vegetables.
But now many school districts argue the new rules are too expensive.
The federal government reimburses schools $3.01 for a lunch, which is supposed to cover everything: the food, the labor and things like new kitchen equipment or repairs.
But to get the money, schools need to follow the rules.
Gitta Grether-Sweeney runs the nutrition program for Portland Public Schools in Portland, Oregon, where every day the district serves about 20,000 kids lunch.
"The rules went into effect last year where you had to serve more fruits and vegetables," she said -- half cup of either with every meal.
Starting in July, the guidelines get stricter. Nationwide, schools have to serve more whole grains and less sodium.
Now Congress is debating whether to relax some of those rules -- a move First Lady Michelle Obama and her supporters vowed to fight.
"What we still believe is a big fight is holding steady on the sodium requirements and the whole grain requirements for school lunches," said Claire Benjamin, managing director of Food Policy Action, a Washington DC-based group that scores lawmakers votes on food and farming policy. "When we did these rules we knew that some of these changes were going to be hard and it was going to take some time to implement."
To help school districts out, the feds offered to pay six cents more per lunch.
But Grether-Sweeney said to meet the new federal requirements Portland Public Schools had to order more fruits and vegetables last year -- a lot more.
"I spent over $200,000 more in produce. But that six cents only covered about 60 percent of that," she said.
Along with the requirement to serve healthier lunches came an unfortunate consequence, Grether-Sweeney said.
The district saw a dramatic increase in trash from students dumping the unwanted produce. One small school threw away 55 gallons of fruits and veggies every week.
"In a number of our schools, we started composting because of this," Grether-Sweeney said.
She argued that the current mandates aren't working and that kids should be able to choose which healthy foods they want.
"They're not going to eat it necessarily just because you put it on their plate," she said.
Before the new rules, the number of kids eating lunch in the Portland Public School District had been steadily increasing.
Now Grether-Sweeney said the district is serving three percent fewer students school lunch compared to last year. Nationally, nearly one million fewer kids are eating school lunch this year, according to USDA data.
Parke Wilde, a food economist at Tufts University, said it's hard to know if schools are just having a difficult time transitioning to the new rules or -- more troubling -- that kids today are more reluctant to eat healthy foods.
"Everybody can sympathize with what it's like to be a school food service director, reading all the small print on the new school meals requirements and thinking to him or herself, 'How am I going to do this?'" Wilde said.
But on the other hand, he said, without rules there would probably be districts that don't serve healthy meals.
Congress is still debating what will happen with the school lunch program, but as of right now schools will be serving even healthier -- and more expensive meals -- next fall.
Girls who game could turn into girls who code
It has been well established that there is a large and problematic gender gap in the tech industry. Last week's unprecedented report from Google on the company's diversity was just one of the latest headlines. A lot of people tend to think that, like many things, the problem starts in our education system -- Girls don't get the encouragement they need to get into tech areas like coding.
It's an issue that Nitasha Tiku*, co-editor of tech news site ValleyWag, has been thinking a lot about. In an op-ed piece for the New York Times this week, Tiku posits that the easiest way to get girls into coding might be to look at what already interests them: gaming.
Games like Minecraft, which has a "creative" mode where gamers can use Java to build their own worlds, are introducing players to coding without them realizing that they are developing a skill. It's these kinds of covert methods of getting a diverse group of people interested in programming that Tiku thinks will ultimately be more effective.
Certainly groups like Girls Who Code and Black Girls Code are doing their part as well. Tiku says these programs are important for thinking about how to get more girls interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields:
"These after school programs...their goal is to be incorporated into the classroom. They think of themselves as a sandbox where you can sort of experiment with different languages."
*CORRECTION: In an earlier version of this article, ValleyWag co-editor Nitasha Tiku was misidentified. The text has been corrected.
Nigeria U-turn on schoolgirl rallies
2/27/07, 416, 546 and the day the market broke
Stephen Millbrook jumped up from his desk, dashed across the trading floor and looked out the window. The Empire State Building was still there.
On the streets, people were walking calmly through midtown Manhattan, dressed in thick coats and covered with scarves to fend off the near freezing February air. No one looked panicked. There were no signs of another attack.
The evidence for an attack was confined to Millbrook's trading screens. In a matter of minutes, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had dropped 200 points. That was on top of a 346 point decline that the market had already registered. A 546 point drop meant something had gone seriously wrong. We're talking 9/11 wrong. On the first day of trading following the 2001 attacks, the Dow dropped 684 points.
Shares of Goldman Sachs had cratered. Goldman Sachs! Millbrook dialed a friend's number at Goldman just to see if Goldman was still there. The guy on the other end of the phone — Thank God there was a guy on the other end of the phone! — asked him if everything was alright in midtown. Goldman traders located at the southern tip of Manhattan were wondering if someone had attacked Times Square.
Later Millbrook would learn that the sudden drop was due to a "glitch." Something had gone wrong with the computer systems of the New York Stock Exchange, triggering a flash crash. This was on February 27, 2007, however, and no one had invented the term "flash crash" yet.
Traders on the floor of the NYSE would wind up having to keep their books open past the official closing bell as the exchange struggled to put things in order. None of the traders had ever been called upon to keep trading open after the bell. One trader told me over drinks that night that this marked "the death of the God of the closing bell."
In the end the Dow closed for a decline of 416.02 points. That was the still the biggest point drop in the market since it had reopened after the September 11, 2001 attacks. It was the seventh ever biggest one-day decline.
Earlier in the day, trying to limit the declines following a 200 point drop, the NYSE had imposed trading curbs. The effect, however, was to give traders more time to worry.
The talking heads on television blamed the crash on Chinese economic data and comments about a possible recession from Alan Greenspan. Most ignored something that was arguably far more important — the announcement by Freddie Mac that it would stop buying subprime loans.
The housing boom had ended two years earlier. Freddie's subprime exit indicated that the mortgage bust was upon us. Within a few months, subprime lender New Century and a pair of Bear Stearns hedge funds focused on investing in subprime would go down. Over the summer, highly unusual market movements would trigger massive losses by quant hedge funds over the course of weeks that became known as "the quant bloodbath." The housing bust was quickly transforming into a financial crisis.
The numbers 416 and 546 were indicators that something was seriously wrong. Millbrook (obviously not his real name) was right to panic. But few of us understood this on that cold day in February.

Small businesses create new jobs for autistic adults
It is high school graduation season across the country and most young adults are preparing for life in college or in the workforce. Landing a job in this economy continues to be hard for millions of people. But what if you have autism?
The good news is there are communities popping up across the country that have come up with several small business models that ease young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) into the adult world of work and self-sufficiency.
Lori Ireland and several of her friends in Chapel Hill, North Carolina have children with autism. They have become very familiar with a term known in autism circles as "The Cliff."
"As they aged, we saw the handwriting on the wall, so to speak," said Ireland. "The level of services really fall off."
"The Cliff" becomes especially visible when a young person with autism reaches his or her early 20s and is no longer able to attend high school.
Laura Klinger is a leading autism researcher at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. She is also Director of the Treatment and Education of Autistic and Communication related handicapped Children (TEACCH).
"After graduation, about 35 percent of people with autism sit home and do nothing: not college, not employment, not vocational training," said Klinger.
That's why the Ireland Family and friends decided to find jobs for their autistic children, even if they had to create the jobs themselves.
"We measure ourselves a little differently," said Gregg Ireland*. "For us, if we give someone a meaningful hour of employment, that's our goal."
So the business model they came up with is EV, which stands for Extraordinary Ventures. EV is responsible for several small businesses, including a successful laundry service.
At 22-years old, Patrick Eden has worked for EV Laundry for more than a year. Eden is very particular about how he sorts, washes and folds the clothes they collect. He was recently promoted to assistant manager.
"I like the people and I like giving quality work," said Eden.
And a growing number of small businesses are employing workers with autism. Thomas D'Eri and his family opened Rising Tide Car Wash in Parkland, Florida to provide meaningful work for his autistic brother.
"When car washes are run really well, they are very structured, lots of really well-defined processes," said D'Eri. "And those are situations that people with autism really excel in."
Experts studying autism hope the jobs keep coming, especially considering that about 50,000 children on the autism spectrum turn 18 every year in the U.S.
*CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story misidentified Gregg Ireland. The text has been corrected.

It is early evening here in sunny Canberra. In the background is the loud and distinctive warning cry of a female Blackbird. Something is seen as a threat in her territory. She is letting something know in uncertain terms that they are to "keep out' ...!
Symbolism is alive and kicking in all that exists around us. However, we have become spiritually ignorant to these signs in nature. We are too lost in our technological and material world. We may hear such signs in our lives ... but how many of us pay attention to them?
It's a very interesting and fascinating concept ... to think 'like the ancients' and embrace the fact that all of creation are ONE. All facets work together. I listen, I watch ... I take notice of these signs. In this moment I accept the Blackbird as a totem ... as a messenger that there is a need to check my boundaries and be aware that something is not quite right ... there is a seeming threat somewhere ...
Since the Blackbird has chosen our backyard as its 'territory' I take the warning more seriously than would if it were in another garden.
Interestingly, I added a post 'Blackbird Symbolism' back in January 2009 ... 'When blackbird flies into your life your connection with nature and the forces of creation increase. The magic of the underworld surfaces in your life. Awareness is heightened and change on a cellular level begins. The blackbird teaches you how to acknowledge your power and use it to its fullest.'
'Their singing puts the listener into a sleep or a trance which enables him or her to travel to the otherworld. It was said to impart mystic secrets.'
'Those with this medicine often have a hypnotic influence on others as well as an uncanny ability to move between the seen and unseen worlds with clarity. They make excellent shamans and trance channellers.'

The new iPad and the Marketer. Sounds like the name of a modern fairytale but don't expect a Cinderella story. The new iPad is faster, sharper and slightly more functional than its older sibling, but it's not a huge breakthrough for marketers. What it is, is proof that tablets are going mainstream and can't be ignored in your marketing plan.
The new iPad (they're not calling it the iPad 3 for some reason) has a screen resolution that is unprecedented. CNET says it's like watching HD TV for the first time. It not only tops all other tablets, but it even makes high-quality computer monitors look bad.
Apple has also upgraded the processing speed, which was already fast. I imagine the new iPad will anticipate what you want and deliver it before you can ask – seriously, that's the only way I can see it being any faster.

Jimmy Rollins was right – the Phillies are the team to beat – themselves, at least. Rollins made two poor defensive plays, one that directly led to a tying run coming across home plate, and the Mets picked up another home opener win against the Phillies. It's this type of game that shows why the Mets are the team to beat – they had their first truly bad start by a Mets pitcher (John Maine did not pitch well – more below), and Ambiorix Burgos did not pitch well in relief, giving up an absolute bomb to Ryan Howard to turn a 3-2 Mets lead to a 5-3 Mets deficit. But with this Mets' offense, the team is never out of the game.
John Maine…not a good start coming off of that really solid appearance last week against St. Louis. He went four and 2/3 innings, and was hurt with walks, allowing six free passes. Coupled with five hits (including a home run to Chase Utley), and it's something of a miracle that he only allowed two runs. Eleven baserunners in just less than five innings…that will not win ballgames. He was bailed out to a degree by Burgos, but still…Maine will have to pitch more like the Maine of last week than the Maine of this week if he expects to win games.
It was a game where, even though the Mets were trailing, I thought they at least had a chance to get back in the game. Part of the reason is because the Phillies do not play good defense, and do not have a good bullpen. The Mets were stringing together stuff against Cole Hamels, but couldn't put it together for the big inning, because Hamels is good enough to avoid it. The Phillies bullpen isn't. Even though I think Lieber is the Phillies' fourth best starter, he did not pitch well in relief, but it was Geoff Geary setting the stage for the Mets, and the Mets added one timely hit after another to go from trailing, to leading, to blowing the game open.
David Wright hit the ball hard twice today, once again being robbed of a hit (and a game-tying RBI) by great defense, but he hit a nice double to put the Mets ahead 9-5, and from there any doubts Mets fans had about today's game had to be eased considerably. Once again, I think questions of David Wright's hitting are way premature, and ultimately he will be fine. Also, Carlos Delgado had a good day, and after not hitting on the road to start the year, playing at home really helped him. That's strange, because that is the opposite of how he played in 2006. Moises Alou added a pair of hits, and all Mets starters managed at least a hit today to make Opening Day successful all around for the Mets. With a little bit better performance from John Maine, it could have been even more special, but I'll take the win (and the four game cushion on the Phillies).
The Mets are off tomorrow, but will play Game 2 of the series Wednesday back in New York. It will be Oliver Perez making his first start at home since Game 7 of the NLCS, taking on Adam Eaton, the Phillies' $21 million mistake this past offseason. Game time is 7:10 PM.

Former President Bill Clinton rallies Democrats at the Palmer House, describing the differences in the narratives between Democrats and Republicans. He asks voters to give Democrats two more years to improve the nation.
Former President Bill Clinton on Tuesday said that given the challenges, he believes Democrats have done a good job over the last two years and deserve to remain the dominant party.
"That's a total of four [years] to get us out of the hole and get us into the future. That's half as much time as you gave [Republicans] to dig the hole. Seems fair to us. Give us two more years," he said.
Clinton's remarks at the Palmer House -- which were open to the public but began nearly 90 minutes late due to some time spent with a VIP crowd -- were met with raucus applause from the hundreds of people who turned out.
He urged Democratic activists to use that enthusiasm and put it to work for those running for office, either by changing minds or swelling the electorate.
"They estimate there will be a drop of 25 percent in the overall total, but the Hispanic total will go down 35 percent, the African-American total will go down 40 percent and the youth vote will drop 55 percent. Now, if you make all three of those things wrong and you and you move them back to the same 25 percent that the overall electorate is, all these people will win comfortable victories. it's up to you."
Clinton's visit highlighted several Illinois races, including Alexi Giannoulias' run for the U.S. Senate and the Congressional races for Deb Halvorson, Bill Foster and Dan Seals.

Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--Germany is "deeply and firmly committed to a united Europe," Berlin's Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs of Germany, Guido Westerwelle, said Friday.
"History has taught us, with chapters too dark to forget, that European integration was--and remains--the only convincing and viable answer to the 'German question,'" Westerwelle said, according to prepared remarks he was scheduled to deliver at the Brookings Institution.
Westerwelle's comments follow "intensive and instructive" discussions with U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
Some economists say Germany's reluctance to build a multitrillion euro firewall to prevent a cascade of sovereign debt defaults and financial meltdowns in the region is only prolonging and fueling the crisis. Others say Germany's political commitment to the region, particularly against the historical backdrop of Europe, means that while Berlin can't communicate the full extent of its commitment, it will do what ever it takes to save the euro.
Fred Bergsten, head of the Washington-based Peterson Institute for International Economics, said markets should watch what Germany does, not what it says. Its rhetorical reticence is necessary to force fiscal and structural reform in the euro zone, he said.
Still, Westerwelle said, "To be perfectly clear from the outset: there is no good future for Germany without a good future for a united Europe."
He also said the European Central Bank has a "very important role in managing the crisis," adding the ECB "will do what it considers necessary and appropriate within its mandate."
Just days after the International Monetary Fund told its members it needs to boost its resource base to more than $1 trillion amid the euro crisis, Westerwelle also the Group of 20 industrial and developing economies should ensure "the IMF has what it takes to play its crucual role in the global system."

Digital x-rays, blood transfusions, and stem-cell therapy sound like treatments ordered by doctors on medical dramas. The treatments, however, are all available for critters at Capitola Veterinary Hospital. At the vet's modern facility, which is outfitted to provide medical, dental, dermatological, and surgical services, veterinary doctors River May and Katie Volat apply their years of training and affection for pets. At the hands of a friendly staff, critters are given a custom health-care plan that can include microchipping, nutritional counseling, and tests to see how many orphans the pet has saved from wells. The onsite pharmacy provides an array of veterinary drugs, and the team always keeps owners in the loop and provides them with current information so that they can decide on the best treatment for furry friends.
Dr. May and Dr. Volat also go above and beyond to keep animals healthy by regularly conversing with top veterinarians across the nation to ensure the best treatment. The hospital is also certified by the Monterey Bay Green Business Program, in part because of digital record keeping, low-radiation digital x-rays, and biodegradable soaps.
There are many businesses that cater to pets, but Redwood Animal Hospital strives to be the only one animals need. Veterinarians Joelle Abrams and Timberly Johnson and their doting staff members—including Isaac the dog, who greets clients up front, and Alex the cat, who roams the clinic freely and helps distract patients during procedures—perform the preventative, surgical, and dental services that owners expect from an animal hospital, then they go a few steps further. The onsite boarding facility lends a private space to dogs and cats when their owners are away, and groomer Cheri shampoos, brushes, and trims fur to bestow clients with fresher-smelling pets. For owners with limited mobility or dogs who don't want to run into their ex-wives, the medical specialists even make house calls.
Banfield Pet Hospital, open seven days a week, one of the largest general veterinary practices in the country with more than 750 U.S. hospitals, cares for cuddly companions. Just like humans, pets need to be checked and examined so that the veterinarian has the opportunity to help prevent and identify any potential health issues. Pet-owners can relax as the experienced and friendly Harpinder Singh, D.V.M., leaves no floppy ear unturned during a thorough animal examination, culminating in the feline-favorite upside-down drop test.
When a haggard, helpless stray pup wandered into the backyard of Mrs. Carter H. Downing house in 1940, he had no idea he was about to trigger the creation of one of San Francisco's most respected animal hospitals and shelters. After searching fruitlessly for a safe shelter for the dog, the determined Carter Downing took the frightened animal home with her, along with all of the other pets caged up in the local pound. After setting up her own impromptu pet adoption agency, Downing proved to be successful at connecting stray and homeless pets with loving families. More than 65 years later, Pets Unlimited carries on Downing's vision, maintaining a network of foster care, community education programs, and a 24-hour veterinary center. The work of the dedicated staff keeps dogs and cats off the streets and puts them right where they belong⎯in the loving arms of humans and Sesame Street characters.
To support their work, a portion of the proceeds from their top-notch veterinary center goes to support Pets Unlimited's charitable vet care, shelter programs, and adoption services. Doting pet parents can bring in their pets for routine checkups, dental cleanings, and boarding, all the while supporting the noble causes of connecting abandoned cats and dogs with nurturing homes.
As the sun shines down, Santa Cruz Pet Resort's four-legged charges scamper around on the fake turf of its outdoor yards. Broken into groups based on size and temperament, the pups leap on a trampoline, challenge each other to games of Tug of War, cool off in the kiddie pool, or hold poker tournaments inside the house play set. At night, dogs bunk down in clean and heated kennels and can share a family-sized chamber with their brothers and sisters by request. Felines enjoy playtime in the resort's Kitty Cabana, as well as one-on-one attention from staffers. Family-style care is also available, in which pets stay in the resort owner's home and get first dibs on the remote control.
Animals are fed Eukanuba or Iams food during their stay, and owners can also schedule grooming appointments for their pets with an experienced groomer. With advanced notice, the staffers can also board other domestic pets, such as rabbits, hamsters, or imaginary twins.
At the Animal Hospital of Soquel, the dedicated staff of veterinarians and vet technicians provide medical, surgical, and preventative care, and commit themselves to receiving continuous education. The animal hospital also offers animal dentistry and grooming services through its onsite pet spa. The hospitable groomers grant the furriest members of the family undivided attention while performing pelt-perfecting services for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. By providing regular grooming treatments, the team works to prevent issues such as excessive shedding, skin and paw disorders, painful matting, and the smell of last week's forgotten egg salad on the animal's breath.

SPOKANE, Wash.— The first man to buy legal, recreational marijuana in Spokane might be going back to work.
Mike Boyer made history on Tuesday for buying marijuana. He then made international headlines 24-hours later when he said the coverage of his legal marijuana purchase cost him his job.
Dude where's my job? Marijuana buyer may lose job for lighting up on TV @krem2 http://t.co/7LCkMw68Ok
— USA TODAY Video (@usatodayvideo) July 10, 2014
However, the situation changed again on Friday when Boyer said he met with his managers at Labor Ready.
Boyer said Labor Ready supervisors reviewed the situation and offered him his job back. He told KREM 2 News that he would decide by Monday whether to return to work. Labor Ready's change of heart was because he was not working when he bought the marijuana and smoked it during a TV interview according to Boyer.
Boyer said he would continue to buy marijuna.
"I'm going to keep living my life the way I do and I'm just going to go with it," said Boyer.
WATCH: First Spokane marijuana customer claims coverage cost him his job
He claimed that Labor Ready leaders wanted him to take a drug test following the TV interview. He took the drug test on Wednesday, failed it, and posted his plight on Craigslist.
Boyer posted his claim and resume on Craigslist in a post titled "LOST MY JOB! still #1 tho!!"
"I lost my job due to the news coverage of me being the FIRST PERSON TO BUY MARIJUANA LEGALLY IN SPOKANE! I regret nothing. But now im jobless and have decided to post my resume here. Thanks for reviewing it," Boyer wrote.
CONNECT: Mike Boyer's Craigslist post
The post made headlines all over the world.
Boyer also said he lost his job with Kodiak Security because of his marijuana purchase. The company told KREM 2 News that he was still an employee as of Friday.
KREM 2 News originally introduced viewers to Boyer on Tuesday when he waited in line for the first recreational marijuana shop to open in Spokane.
WATCH: Spokane's first legal marijuana buyers line up
Boyer brought a sleeping bag and food to keep him going throughout the night. Boyer told KREM 2 News that he planned to make history by being the first customer.

An Air Force reservist who says his job was threatened if he reported for mandatory military training has now been assured he won't be terminated.
Nimi Peterson of Temple is a staff sergeant with the U.S. Air Force Reserves, and also a billing follow-up technician for Scott & White Healthcare in Temple. Last month, he knew he might have to go to mandatory training in Fort Worth, but he didn't receive his orders until this week. According to Peterson, when he gave his orders to his manager at Scott & White, he was told when he came back from training he might not have a job.

Paul Walker's Father Speaks on How Actor Would Want to Be Remembered & Meadow Walker's Mourning [VIDEO]
on Dec 03, 2013 05:04 PM EST
Paul Walker's father spoke candidly about his son's kindness, humility, and passion in life in a recent interview where he paid tribute to the late Fast and Furious star who died on Nov. 30.
Paul Walker III knew his son loved him dearly and spoke about their father-son dynamic with Mail Online.
"He had a way, when he talked to me, it conveyed that he loved me a great deaI. I don't ever remember having an argument with my son," he said about the 40-year-old. "A lot of ways we weren't that much alike and I guess in other ways we were."
The actor was a passenger in a red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT that crashed into a pole and burst into flames in Santa Clarita, Calif. Both Paul and the driver, Roger Rodas, were killed. No other car was involved and the accident took place when both men left an event where they were raising money for the actor's charity, Reach Out Worldwide.

Paul Walker III spoke of his son's warm heart and kind gestures.
"He was kind. He was really a kind person. He wanted people to get along with each other. He didn't like to hear about situations where people argue and fight," he said.
"I keep hearing that Paul would say - one of the cast members on that film they're doing now - said, Paul said to him 'look your not here (doing hand motions depicting different heights), and you're not there... Everybody in the cast we're all equal. We're all the same level. Get that in your head and we'll have a good time making this film and we'll get through it.' "
The Fast and Furious star is survived by his 15-year-old daughter Meadow Walker, whom he had with ex-girlfriend Rebecca McBrain.
When asked about how the family is coping since news of the death, Paul III said it has been "really tough."
"It's hard. Now and then I'll really break down [but] talking really seems to help," he added. "Talking about him...there's just a tremendous amount of stories. I was just told me son gave a Marine a diamond ring to give to a girl who was gonna marry him. I never heard that story. I think he liked people not knowing [about him]."
Vin Diesel Speaks at Paul Walker's Memorial: 'He's Going To Stay With Me Forever'
As far as Meadow mourning the loss of her father, Paul said the teenage is "taking it really tough" but that she has family around her and some "very, very loving friends" making the process a bit easier. "A lot of hugging, a lot of hand holding. Just wonderful people coming telling us how sorry they are."
The actor may be remembered by many for his lead role in the Fast and Furious franchise, or perhaps for his charity work with Reach Out Worldwide. However, Paul III said his son cherished the simple things in life. Paul III relayed a message to fans, telling them how to remember his son.
"Visualize Paul standing on he beach with a surfboard in his arm looking out to the ocean. I think he would like that imagine of himself. I know a lot of people connected with the sea but there was something that was very compelling about the ocean in his life."

MATH 105/Section 210
This is the website for my (Jay's) section of MATH 105.
The common page for MATH 105 can be found
. It includes a course description, course outline, grading policies, links to Webwork, practice problems, and other information.
My e-mail
: firstname.lastname@example.com
My Office
: Auditorium Annex 131.
My Office Hours
: Wednesdays, 10am-11am, and Thursdays, 12:30pm-1:30pm, in LSK 303D; or by appointment (arrange by e-mail).
In addition to the midterms, final, and Webwork assignments, I will occasionally give quizzes on Fridays that will make up 6% of your final grade. Quizzes will cover recent material and they will be similar in difficulty to the practice problems listed on the common page.
The first quiz was on Friday, January 11.
The second quiz was on Friday, January 25.
The third quiz was on Friday, February 8.
The fourth quiz was on Friday, March 1.
The fifth quiz was on Friday, March 22.
: The final exam for Math 105 is on Monday, April 22. So I am going to have a review session on Sunday, April 21. It will take place at IBLC 261 from 1pm to 3pm.
Since this is the day before the final, come with questions and problems that you have from your own studying.
: Now that we are at the main part of the course--integration--I thought I should assign you some extra practice problems. I'll keep a running list as we advance further into the book. Keep in mind that while some of these may be the same as those on the common page, they do not replace those problems assigned on the common page that I haven't included.
Section 4.8: 2-9, 11-36, 38
Section 5.3: 33-40
Section 5.5: 4, 6, 8, 13-42, 44, 52-64, 78-80
Section 7.1: 7-22, 26, 27, 29-35 (Hint for 22: use a u-substitution before you launch into integration by parts! Hints for 29-35: maybe some of these integrands are the same as the indefinite integrals from earlier...)
Section 7.2: 9-16, 19-23, 25, 26, 29, 30, 32
Section 7.3: 4-10, 15-30
Section 7.4: 5-25
Chapter 7 Review: 2-19
(Note: All the extra problems I've given you are meant to give you extra practice with
integrals. That is a skill that it is essential to master if you want to do well in this course. You should not only be able to compute integrals, but you should be able to compute the simple integrals
. That is why I've given you so many problems--your goal should be to become efficient enough that each integral from Section 4.8 takes you mere seconds.
Extra Note: Even though Midterm 2 has passed, I'm leaving up this list in case you haven't gone through it yet and want to try them while reviewing for the final.)

Almost all victims will have a classic risk factor. Here's what you need to know to protect your heart.
Scary myth: Half of all heart attacks happen with absolutely no early warning.
Truth: In actuality, 90 percent of victims have at least one classic risk factor (high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, or cigarette smoking), say Northwestern University researchers who reviewed the health records of 21,298 people who'd had heart attacks.
"The real explanation is not some mystery or uncontrollable gene. It's conditions and habits that people can control," says lead researcher Philip Greenland, MD, a preventive medicine specialist.
Think you're too young to worry? "If you've got risk factors now, you're setting yourself up for a heart attack in 10, 20, or 30 years," he says. Take care of them now; in the future you'll be playing with grandkids and touring Paris, not starring in a health emergency.

The Family Guy heads west.
Here's our very first trailer for Seth MacFarlane's new western comedy A Million Ways To Die In The West - and be warned, it's a 'red band' trailer, meaning it is very much Not Safe For Work, and for adults eyes only.
Family Guy creator and former Oscar host MacFarlane will direct, write and co-star, in a similar vein to his filthy comedy Ted.
Joining MacFarlane on screen will be Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried, Liam Neeson and Neil Patrick Harris.
It's thought that there will be no animated element to this film, a first for a MacFarlane project.
The official synopsis is as follows:
"After a cowardly sheep farmer backs out of a gunfight, his fickle girlfriend leaves him for another man. When a mysterious and beautiful woman rides into town, she helps him find his courage and they begin to fall in love. But when her husband, a notorious outlaw, arrives seeking revenge, the farmer must put his newfound courage to the test."
It's still not clear which way this western comedy will go - will it be Blazing Saddles or Wild Wild West? We'll find out when A Million Ways To Die In The West is released on June 6th, 2014.

Prop 8 Ruling -- for the Better!
Robin Sax: On August 4, 2010, U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker ruled that California's Proposition 8 violates the U.S. Constitution. Prop 8 was passed by Californians in November of 2008 and amended the state constitution to define marriage as being solely between a man and a woman. Walker sided with opponents of the November 2008 decision, which excluded gays from marrying in California. In his ruling, Walker said that Proposition 8 violates the equal-protection clause by denying gays and lesbians the right to marry a member of the same sex.
The legal trajectory of same-sex marriage in California is very complex. In 2000, Proposition 22 (a.k.a. the "California Defense of Marriage Act") was passed; it added the following provision to the Family Code: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." In September of 2005, the California Assembly voted to make same-sex marriage legal, but Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the bill. In May of 2008, the California Supreme Court struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage, but Prop 8 subsequently invalidated that decision. But now, with Judge Walker's ruling, we're back to gay marriage being legal in California. Confused yet?
All of this legal repositioning makes me think we are headed to a U.S. Supreme Court case. Opponents of Prop 8 have vehemently argued (and I agree) that same-sex couples should enjoy the same rights, privileges and responsibilities of heterosexual couples. This is a clear-cut civil rights issue. I say, let same-sex couples suffer the hardships of marriage, too! Come on, people -- it's absolutely ridiculous to say marriage is a "sacred" tradition in America.
More than 55 percent of marriages in our country end in divorce these days (often, ugly and difficult divorce). Opponents of gay marriage say, "California's constitutional marriage amendment exists to strengthen society, encourage monogamous and loving marriages and provide the optimal environment to ensure the well-being of children." But how in the world does discriminating against a specific group make anyone's marriage stronger?!
California and many other U.S. states are so behind the rest of the world on this issue. Our neighbors, the Canadians, legalized same-sex marriage in July of 2005, and the practice is also approved in the following countries: Argentina, Belgium, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain and Sweden. Washington, D.C., Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont have legalized marriage for same-sex couples, too. (So far, same-sex marriage is recognized but not performed in Maryland, New York and Rhode Island.)
As reported in the San Francisco Chronicle, Judge Walker is gay himself -- but that should have nothing to do with the ruling. As a lawyer, Walker represented the U.S. Olympic Committee in a suit seeking to prohibit a group from using the term "Gay Olympics."
Pro-gay-marriage activists include Steve Spielberg, Brad Pitt, Levi's CEO John Anderson and many others. Some churches oppose same-sex marriage, yet some, such as the Unitarians and the Metropolitan Community Church, bless gay marriages and perform commitment ceremonies. The Catholic Church forbids it. But it shouldn't matter either way: Separation of church and state is a core tenet of the Constitution, and the issue of gay marriage is a Constitutional, not faith-based, one.
Some anti-gay-marriage activists talk about the effect gay marriage will have on kids. I can't understand their arguments whatsoever. In my view, preventing a loving (same-sex) couple from making a legal commitment to each other can only hurt their children. I have seen firsthand (and statistics also show) that same-sex couples raise wonderful kids who love their two moms or two dads just the same as any kids love their parents. As a prosecutor, I have seen many troubling family situations occur in heterosexual marriages: domestic violence, violent custody battles, abuse in the home and many other terrible circumstances.
I have never seen a situation wherein two loving people (of any gender) wanting to marry and make a life together could possibly hurt their kids. If all of the anti-gay-marriage activists would refocus their energy to help keep our kids truly safe (from sexual assault, abuse, abduction, domestic violence -- across our state and country), then we would truly be serving our children and the next generation. In many ways, same-sex couplehood reminds me of how converts from one religion to another treat the sanctity of their new religion. In my experience, it's usually the people who choose parenthood, overcome obstacles and work for their rights who end up being the most fit, involved and effective parents. Protecting the civil rights of all Americans also strengthens our families. I hope that Judge Walker's ruling has helped to resolve this issue once and for all ... but judging by the history of California, we are probably not quite done with it yet.
Whatever ends up happening in the future, the time has come for us all to accept that gay couples are couples. There are two-mom families, two-dad families and many other combos out there. Let's use this historic moment to embrace our differences and teach our children not to hate, but to accept!

Just to let you know… your website looks extremely strange in Mozilla on a Mac
I have got 1 suggestion for your site. It appears like right now there are a number of cascading stylesheet problems when opening a selection of web pages in google chrome as well as internet explorer. It is functioning okay in internet explorer. Probably you can double check that.
See, it is great to finally see someone applying some sensible logic to this. Thanks.
Thanks for the sources in the page along with in other folks responses.
I urge more people would inscribe sites like this that are in fact stimulating to read.
cool i love those, good work! amazing cool i love these, great work!
I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. Itâs pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
This submit was extremely nicely written, and it also contains many beneficial facts. I appreciated your professional manner of writing this post. You've got made it simple for me to comprehend.
I think this is one of the most important info for me. And i'm glad reading your article. But wanna remark on some general things, The website style is perfect, the articles is really great : D. Good job, cheers

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Gov. Mark Dayton is stopping short of expressing full faith in the executive leadership at Minnesota's health insurance exchange.
Dayton was asked Thursday if he has confidence that exchange leaders were adequately addressing problems. He says he will wait a week to 10 days to render judgment.
People who want to buy private insurance coverage effective Jan. 1 have less than two weeks left to get it through the state's exchange.
Dayton says he's "incredulous" that long wait times on MNsure phone lines persist and that problems with the online portal haven't been fully addressed. The Democratic governor says he participates in two to three conference calls per week on the topic.
Dayton signed the law creating the health exchange, which grew out of the federal health insurance overhaul.

Researchers have found a statistical association between violence by teenagers and how many sodas they drink in a week.
The study found that inner-city Boston high school student who drank more than five cans of non-diet, soft drinks every week were between nine and 15-percent likelier to engage in an aggressive act compared with counterparts who drank less.
"What we found was that there was a strong relationship between how many soft drinks that these inner-city kids consumed and how violent they were, not only in violence against peers but also violence in dating relationships, against siblings," said David Hemenway, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health."
Hemenway stressed that they would need further studies to prove or disprove that higher consumption of sweet sodas caused violent behaviour.
"The new study was based on answers to questionnaires filled out by 1,878 public-school students aged 14 to 18 in the inner Boston area, where Hemenway said crime rates were much higher than in the wealthier suburbs. The overwhelming majority of respondents were Hispanic, African-American or mixed; few were Asian or white."
"What emerged, said Hemenway, was evidence of "dose response," in other words, the more soda was consumed, the likelier the tendency towards violence."
But here is the important paragraph:
" 'We don't know why (there is this strong association). There may be some causal effect but it's also certainly plausible that this is just a marker for other problems — that kids who are violent for whatever reason, they tend to smoke more, they tend to drink more alcohol and they tend to maybe drink more soft drinks. We just don't know.' "
So what do you think? Do you think soda is causing the violence or do those kids just happen to drink a lot of soda? What do you make of this study?

could it be that there is just in general more violence in inner cities?

Teen violence is linked with their watching too much violent TV. Violence is romanticized in movies and TV and teens act out to impress peers. Their impressionable minds are exposed to constant pandering by the entertainment industry.
October 25th, 2011
7:06 am
Sounds like a hit piece against soft drinks.
October 25th, 2011
7:09 am
If it's true, start feeding your boys more soda. Only the strong survive. Violence works.
October 25th, 2011
7:18 am
Wow! how far are we willing to go to blame something or someone else for the bad behavior of an individual. This is one of the most asinine of a history of such ideas trying to blame away what is merely a normal, albeit, distasteful behavior found in human population throughout history

Caffeine is an addictive drug; it's a stimulant at lower doses & a depressant at larger doses. The fact that so many don't understand caffeine is a potentially dangerous drug is perverse. Withdrawal from the drug hurts (nauseau, anxiety, headache) & overdose kills people with some regularity. I find it hard to believe that caffeine for children is a good idea; drugs have their just place, they shouldn't be outlawed, but they should be treated with responsibility… clearly, kids on uppers are more prone to acting like they're on uppers. The link mentioned in the piece probably relates to education too: those who give their kids soft drinks probably have less education than those who go for healthier (better) drinks & the link between a lack of education & violence is clear. Both factors contribute; the drug & the correlation between soda & education.

Oh sure….blame the grape drink.
October 25th, 2011

Wow people will believe anything these days. I drank way too much soda as a teen and I wasn't violent. I think it has more to do with how a child is raised and disciplined. Yes, there will always be kids that are bad regardless of how they are raised.
I don't think children should have soda except on rare occasions. I rarely let my son have soda and if I do it's usually ginger ale or root beer, something without caffeine, and then only a small amount.
October 25th, 2011
8:00 am
Soda has nothing to do with the amount of violence an individual might have. The kids that were tested live in inner-city Boston, a hardcore place. Is it possible they're violent because they know that's the only way they can survive in a place like that?
October 25th, 2011
8:13 am
You know what else these kids were doing besides drinking soda? Breathing air, walking upright and listening to music. Let's ban all these things as they clearly cause our children to misbehave. In no way does parenting or personal responsibility enter into this…it has to be Junior's Mountain Dew causing him to go berserk.
Stupid blog is stupid.

Let's start a protest for those Moms who put Coke in their CHILD'S baby bottle :>/…yes, they are out there! Anyone?
October 25th, 2011
8:20 am
I'm sure that study could replace "soda" with "hours of video games," "hours of tv," "time spent doing drugs and/or running with gangs" or "amount of time that should be spent with parents, but the parents aren't there" and get the same answers.
October 25th, 2011

One of my favorite quotes (can't remember from where though):
"Show me a kid running around barefoot drinking coke from a sippy cup at the flea market, and I'll show you a future NASCAR fan!"
October 25th, 2011
8:31 am
Seriously???? We've been drinking sodas for YEARS and it's NEVER made anyone I know violent. This is just ridiculious!!!!
Sad thing is, some people will buy into it….
October 25th, 2011
8:34 am
My sister in law put sweet tea in her baby's sippy cup. I don't know which is worse, soda or sweet tea in a sippy cup….I think that's way too young to have that much sugar in one drink. Of course, I don't drink sodas, so I never gave them to my child when she was a baby. She got milk, or water, occasionally juice in her sippy, and now as a 20 year old, will chose a glass of water over a soda any day….I just wish she would quit drinking sweet tea….
Is there a study about violent babies drinking sodas?????
October 25th, 2011
8:36 am
Has anyone studied the correlation between teen violence and watching "Glee"?
October 25th, 2011
8:48 am
…eating at Mickey D's (or BK, or TB or Wen, etc) makes everyone fat…
October 25th, 2011
8:49 am
A lot of other bad things can be linked to drinking lots of soda. Like being overweight.
The best way to prevent aggressive behavior is to give your child a stable, secure home life with firm, loving discipline and full-time supervision during the toddler and preschool years.
October 25th, 2011
8:52 am
What about the link between violence and playing rated MA first-person shooter video games? I think we have bigger problems than soda, although I personally can't stand soda and do not serve it to my child.
October 25th, 2011
9:00 am
Feed them spring water and don't provide suitable parental guidance, with respect of boundaries = SAME RESULTS
This is yet another flawed study, because the parental environment is not taken into account or lied about. "not my kid…he is such a sweet boy. he would never punch someone out."
October 25th, 2011
9:09 am
I thought colas in general were harmful to growing bodies (e.g. through mid-teens) since they make bones porous/leach calcium? Regardless, everyone's right – stupid study. Sounds like some researcher with an agenda.
@MJG – I'll always remember the time I was in an elevator with a woman holding an infant with Coke in a bottle. That baby was going to town on that bottle. I almost fell out in the floor…
@JJ – LOL – violent babies! Like the dancing baby, but meaner. Too funny.
October 25th, 2011

"What about the link between violence and playing rated MA first-person shooter video games?"
That's bogus and you know it.

Toby is correct in what caffeine can do, however, everything in moderation. You can abuse just about anything, including food. I would say there are a number of factors that go into making teens violent who live in the inner city, and soda plays and extremely small part of that if any. I also think they should look at the parent involvement there, because there is a lot to be said about a parent who keeps soda around in droves not to mention giving it to a kid under the age of five.
As for the babies and soda in bottles and sippy cups… my step-father used to give my little sister soda starting at six months. She is now 20 and drinks at least six sodas a day and literally goes through withdrawals if she doesn't have one (during high school she could drink an entire 12 pack in a day!!!!). The closest thing to soda my kids ever get is Sprite or Fresca and they couldn't even touch those until they were five. I gave them milk, water, and 50/50 water juice.
October 25th, 2011

Kids in the South don't drink SODAS.
Seriously, perhaps there is a correlation between bad upbringing and drinking a lot of soft drinks. Ya think?
October 25th, 2011
11:21 am
I laugh everytime someone says video games make people violent. Oh please! I'm not violent at all and I've played video games ever since the Atari 2600 came out! I still play video games or computer games. Quit trying to place blame and take some responsibility for your actions!
October 25th, 2011
11:36 am
…to see how many people comment on your SODAS in the South comment – I know what you mean, as I am from the South, too…
October 25th, 2011
12:21 pm
Yeah… I am from the south too and it took me well into my adult years to properly call it soda versus Coke.
October 25th, 2011
12:44 pm
There could be many explanations (see this link for some) http://smartparentprogram.blogspot.com/2011/10/carbonated-sweetened-soda-linked-to.html .
However, sugar and caffeine do have neurochemical effects, some of which could theoretically cause violence. One of these "more studies are needed" articles, but not implausible.
October 25th, 2011
1:04 pm
Like Figment said, I pretty much had a "Coke" in my hands all of the time growing up, I am nt violent..Well, maybe toward some people..lol..
@catlady..Too funny..I am almost 50 and I still say Coke..
October 25th, 2011
1:52 pm
You quote a study that claims a 9% correlation (with a variance of probably +/- 5%)? Wow, now that's journalism! I can hear your "students" rolling their eyes from here. Oh, and you used likelier instead of more likely, classic!!!
October 25th, 2011
3:52 pm
Miss Priss thinks adults drink a lot of sodas, too … and beer and wine and whiskey and a number of adult folks also smoke crack and meth and abuse powerful prescription drugs and maybe even worship Satan?
Anyhow, when we start blaming things other than the individual, young or adult, responsible for the deed … well, we're all freaks and wimps and losers and "victims," too, and deserve each other's destruction.
I'm going to go vomit now.
October 25th, 2011
3:57 pm
Well, I guess those northerners could be in trouble if they drank a lot of POP. I am not from the south ut have lived her for over 20 years.
Anyone here ( GA) having MADE RIGHTS for dinner? Maybe our friends in Iowa. ( no fair cheating and looking it up). That was a new one for me! Last week, someone told me they call the glove box, the JOEY box…I love it when I learn new things!
JJ…there are two beverages I am addicted to: COFFEE AND SWEET TEA….I could give up chocolate before either of those two previous items!
October 25th, 2011
3:58 pm
oops…but have lived here….sorry!
October 25th, 2011
7:42 pm
I've never heard true Southerners call it "pop," but there might be enclaves where it happens. There are also places where it is called "sody pop." My grandmother (Illinois) called it a "dope." I guess that was from back when cocaine was actually in there. I've always called my soft drink a "coke" even though it is Pepsi!
One thing I talk to my kids at school about is the way the same item has a different name in different parts of the country (ie, sofa, couch, davenport). Or spigot, faucet, tap. Then there is y'all, you-uns (East Tennessee) and use-guys (New York?)
When I moved "up North" to Alabama I learned about a "poke" which I always thought was a type of mild aggression, rather than a sack or bag. Then, I heard the term "croaker sack."
And let us not forget the "ink pen."
October 25th, 2011
9:13 pm
@ catlady…or DIVAN / CHESTERFIELD
then there is trash, garbage and rubbish
or cart/buggy…purse/ pocketbook/handbag
I share these terms often in my presentations…it relates to language acquisition.
I love different ways to say things! Once, an inner city teacher was telling me that she had told her class you need a hoe for a garden. The kid's eyes got wide as they were not thinking a HO belonged in a garden at all.
October 26th, 2011
12:34 pm
I had an old timer tell me this on my first job at a "fillin" station.
"Hey boy, you ain't doing nuthin but swattin flies…reach in that drink box and hand me a Nehi water… and ifn you don't want me to warm up yore hide, you'll be quick about it."

Nice tasteful slow pace mix of a lot of funky soul jams. LoK's description of the mix below.
Got to love it when a "blank" CD fell out of a pile of stuff and it turned out to be an old Soul/Rare Groove set of mine from god knows when! Definately pre-serato so all from vinyl, a couple of re-issues - i'm not gonna front, there is some expensive records in there alongside some "cheap but goodies"! For instance first track i have a real one and that still goes for about £100 if you can find it!
