I'm looking for a new toy to keep my LO entertained, and she loves ones where there are lots of little activities to do. I came across this one which has great reviews, but is it teaching her the wrong thing??Would you buy this for your daughter?
Is this appropriate?
Yes I would buy it for my daughter. I'm not of the opinion that "boy toys" and "girl toys" are evil, though.
Married my wonderful DH on November 07, 2009.
We welcomed our little bundle into the world on 7/27/12. Mommy and Daddy love you Lila Elizabeth!
We have this toy. It's esentially the same thing, music, lights, mirror, without the gender sterotypes. Both my son and daughter love this toy.
My daughter already has it and she likes it but enjoys http://www.amazon.com/VTech-Learn-and-Discover-Driver/dp/B000231FAE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361126492&sr=8-1&keywords=vtech+driver even more. She has more neutral toys than "girl toys" and she seems to enjoy them just as much. Just because you get that toy doesn't mean it will embed that your daughter with have self esteem issues and she must wear makeup etc. My sister who is now 4 1/2 had everything girlie and now is obsessed with dinosaurs. Everyone has their own opinion.
I would get it. At this age they dont know the difference. It is more the mirror and lights and music. I have a three year old who loves to dress up with a larger vanity like that one and plays with dinasours and legos. As long as you have a variaty of toys dont worry about it. My son who is now 20 had a baby doll when he was little and played with cars to.
Married to my highschool sweetheart since 1993 DS 1993 - DD 1998 - DD 2001 - DD 2009 - DS 2012 - DS due 2-24-15 Mommy of Five beautiful babies!!!!

The Law of Privilege
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreA comprehensive reference to legal professional privilege in both contentious and non-contentious situations, this book also address privilege against self-incrimination. Providing detailed coverage of the nature of privilege, how it arises, how it is lost, and its limits, this second edition builds on the success of the first to provide an authoritative practitioner reference on this widely relevant subject. Written by a leading team from Fountain Court chambers the book is editedby Bankim Thanki QC, who appeared in theThree Rivers litigation which challenged long-established assumptions about the nature and scope of privilege. The book also addresses the impact of the Human Rights Act 1998.The text is divided into eight logical themes. It looks first at the policy underlying privilege and its nature, and then at the definitions of legal advice privilege, which relate to communications between lawyer and client; and litigation privilege, which can attach to third party communications in the context of litigation. It goes on to provide expert guidance on issues that arise regularly in practice, such as exceptions (including a detailed analysis of the crime/fraud exception),multi-jurisdictional issues, procedural matters, and problem areas, such as pre-existing and partly privileged documents. It also covers loss of legal professional privilege (loss of confidence, and implied and express waiver); joint and common interest privilege; the linked area of without prejudiceprivilege, its scope, exceptions, rules governing waiver, and the position in respect of mediation; and the privilege against self-incrimination.The book is clearly laid out, with extensive cross-referencing and useful summaries throughout to ensure ease of understanding and quick access to information. It is an essential reference tool for practitioners in all fields of practice, and for students of Civil and Criminal Procedure. With a foreword by Lord Justice Tomlinson. less

DOD Financial Management:
Effect of Continuing Weaknesses on Management and Operations and Status of Key Challenges
GAO-14-576T: Published: May 13, 2014. Publicly Released: May 13, 2014.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9869
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
Long-standing weaknesses in the Department of Defense's (DOD) financial management adversely affect the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of its operations. The successful transformation of DOD's financial management processes and operations will allow DOD to routinely generate timely, complete, and reliable financial and other information for day-to-day decision making, including the information needed to effectively (1) manage its assets, (2) assess program performance and make budget decisions, (3) make cost-effective operational choices, and (4) provide accountability over the use of public funds. Examples of the operational impact of DOD's financial management weaknesses include
the inability to properly account for and report DOD's total assets—about 33 percent of the federal government's reported total assets—including inventory ($254 billion) and property, plant, and equipment ($1.3 trillion);
the inability to accurately estimate the extent of its improper payments because of a flawed estimating methodology, which also limits corrective actions;
inconsistent and sometimes unreliable reports to the Congress on estimated weapon system operating and support costs, limiting visibility needed for effective oversight of these costs; and
continuing reports of Antideficiency Act violations—75 such violations reported from fiscal year 2007 through fiscal year 2012, totaling nearly $1.1 billion—which emphasize DOD's inability to ensure that obligations and expenditures are properly recorded and do not exceed statutory levels of control.
DOD has numerous efforts under way to address its long-standing financial management weaknesses. The Congress has played a major role in many of the corrective actions by mandating them in various fiscal year National Defense Authorization Acts. However, improving the department's financial management operations and thereby providing DOD management and the Congress more accurate and reliable information on the results of its business operations will not be an easy task. Key challenges remain, such as identifying and mitigating risks to achieving the goals of DOD's Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) effort and successfully implementing the FIAR Guidance at the DOD component level, modernizing DOD's business information systems, and improving the financial management workforce.
DOD is monitoring its component agencies' progress toward audit readiness. However, as dates for validating audit readiness approach, DOD has emphasized asserting audit readiness by a certain date instead of making sure that effective processes, systems, and controls are in place, without which it cannot ensure that its components have improved financial management information for day-to-day decision making. While time frames are important to measuring progress, DOD should not lose sight of the ultimate goal of implementing lasting financial management reform to ensure that it can routinely generate reliable financial management and other information critical to decision making and effective operations.
Why GAO Did This Study
Given the federal government's continuing fiscal challenges, it is more important than ever that the Congress, the administration, and federal managers have reliable, useful, and timely financial and performance information to help ensure fiscal responsibility and demonstrate accountability, particularly for the federal government's largest department, the Department of Defense. GAO has previously reported that serious and continuing deficiencies in DOD's financial management make up one of three major impediments to achieving an opinion on the U.S. government's consolidated financial statements.
GAO's statement focuses on (1) the effect of continuing financial management challenges on DOD management and operations and (2) DOD's efforts to improve financial management and its remaining challenges. GAO's statement is primarily based on previously issued reports, including GAO's updates on DOD high-risk areas and its audit reports on DOD's financial management, inventory management and asset visibility, weapon system costs, business transformation, and business system modernization.
What GAO Recommends
GAO has previously made numerous recommendations for improving financial systems and business systems that provide financial information as well as related processes and internal controls. DOD has generally agreed with GAO's recommendations and is taking actions to address many of them.

(About Ads) I just read where the admission standards at the O school would be dropping to accept students with a two year associates degree from a community college??? Then when I was at my brothers office a alum he works with sometime said it was in his alum newsletter? Think that will be the case for all the schools or just that one?

The top U.S. commander for the Persian Gulf has ordered a review of how recommendations for battlefield awards are tracked by the Afghanistan command, which lost the paperwork for a Medal of Honor nominee and for other heroes.
Former Army Capt. William Swenson, who distinguished himself in a 2009 firefight, received the nation's highest military honor from President Obama during a White House ceremony Oct. 15, but the revelation that the awards office for U.S. Forces-Afghanistan misplaced his packet of endorsements opened the command to charges of incompetence.
An inspector general's investigation found that Capt. Swenson's experience was not unique: The awards section for the nation's longest war, in which nearly 2,300 American troops have died, often has lost paperwork.
PHOTOS: A salute to America's warriors on the front lines of the war on terror
Army Gen. Lloyd J. Austin, who heads U.S. Central Command, said he is taking steps to prevent any more lapses.
"I have directed USFOR-A to conduct a detailed review of their complete awards tracking process and report back to me with findings and recommendations," Gen. Austin said in a letter to Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican, Marine war veteran and member of the House Armed Services Committee. "I can assure you that we will make any changes needed to improve this process.
"Members of the U.S. Armed Forces should receive appropriate, tangible and timely recognition for acts of valor and heroism, meritorious service, or specific achievement through personal performance, Defense Department service or unit awards," the general said.
PHOTOS: Dramatic moment USS Gonzalez executes an incredible 180-degree hairpin turn
In September 2009, Capt. Swenson was part of an Afghan-American patrol nearing Ganjgal village to meet with its elders. The patrol received a rude welcome: Taliban fighters launched an ambush, pinning down and separating the column of troops.
During the firefight, Capt. Swenson learned that Army Sgt. 1st Class Kenneth Westbrook had been shot in the neck. He raced more than 50 yards amid intense enemy fire to tend to the wound while calling in a medevac helicopter. Hearing Taliban demands for a surrender, Capt. Swenson responded by throwing a grenade.
After more than 90 minutes of fighting, close air support arrived to strike the Taliban. Capt. Swenson carried Sgt. Westbrook more than 200 yards to an awaiting helicopter.
Sgt. Westbrook was hospitalized but died a month later as a result of his wounds.
Capt. Swenson then re-entered the battlefield. He boarded a Ford Ranger pickup with a Marine and then a Humvee to try to rescue pinned-down Afghans and Americans.
"When they reach the village, Will jumps out, drawing even more fire, dodging even more bullets," Mr. Obama said at the White House ceremony. "But they reach those Americans, lying where they fell. Will and the others carry them out, one by one. They bring their fallen brothers home."
Capt. Swenson's superiors quickly began the paperwork to recommend him for the Medal of Honor, as did commanders for Marine Cpl. Dakota Meyer, who also distinguished himself in the battle of Ganjgal.
Cpl. Meyer's package went outside the USFOR-A awards branch to the Marine bureaucracy. He was awarded the Medal of Honor in 2011, becoming the first living Marine to receive the award since the Vietnam War.
When no awards were approved for Capt. Swenson, he, Cpl. Meyer and others made inquiries.

July 2015 Wi-Fi News
OpenSignal Releases WiFi Mapper for Android
OpenSignal has ported its hugely popular WiFi Mapper iOS app to Android, three months after the initial release. WiFi Mapper for iOS has been downloaded over 150,000 times, and it looks like the app will experience similar levels of success on the Android platform as well.
Wi-Fi Mapper relies on crowdsourcing, volunteers that maintain an accurate list of available Wi-Fi hotspots, along with their type: public, private and free/paid. Users also rate the internet connection speeds that are available at the reviewed hotspots, along with latency and other performance indicators.
Right now, the app comes with a database of about 500,000,000 – yes, 500 millions! – hotspots in the entire world. You can grab a copy of the app right here.
New York Trash Cans Turned Into Wi-Fi Hotspots
BigBelly, a company that operates in the waste management industry, has applied for a grant to provide free Internet access to the New York City residents by using its trash cans.
The provided Internet speed will go up to 75 Mbps, fast enough to allow high quality video streaming to the connected devices, for example. And since very few things in life are really free, the "free" internet access will be paid through advertisement revenue. Yes, you will have to watch some commercials, but that's the price that has to be paid for almost everything that has to do with online media, right?
According to Leila Dillon, VP of global marketing, BigBelly cooperates with cellular providers to find the best solution for their project. It's interesting to note that the company has also invented solar-powered compactors that can send text messages when they are full.
New Method Improves Wi-Fi Propagation
Most of us have wondered why the Wi-Fi signal isn't able to properly fill an entire building. Well, recent research has demonstrated that the frequencies used by routers (mostly 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) aren't the best ones for the job.
Sure, significant progress has been made by improving routers, antenna designs and even SMA cables, but since the standard microwave frequencies don't have the ability to penetrate objects very well, the scientists have started to test other frequencies as well.
It turns out that the lower UHF spectrum, especially the 400 MHz… 700 MHz range, is much more suitable for Wi-Fi, because the signal can "wrap" around objects much better.
The not so good news is that the same frequencies are used for television broadcasts, so there aren't too many of them available. Still, a team of researchers at the Rice University in Houston have managed to find a way to utilize the already used UHF frequencies without causing any interference, by using signal canceling to insert wireless data transmission into the same channel.
Not only that, but when it comes to TV programming in the US, less than 10% of people rely on over-the-air UHF broadcasts. This means that the technology has a bright looking future, at least for the American people.
New Wi-Fi Technology Gets Your Devices Talking to Each Other
The Wi-Fi technology has been significantly updated after several years of minor upgrades. A new technology called Wi-Fi Aware has been released by the Wi-Fi Alliance, a non-profit organization which includes big names like Microsoft, Apple and Intel.
Wi-Fi Aware allows the devices to discover and communicate with other network-enabled products and applications without needing access to an Internet connection and/or cellular data.
Basically, Wi-Fi Aware devices broadcast and receive data packets from nearby cell phones, computers, routers, and so on. Users can choose if they want the applications to send and receive the data packets, of course. It's a system that competes with Bluetooth and appears to have a high power efficiency.

Medical Technology News
1. Many smartphones are nowadays being used in imaging processes that are able to help doctors a lot. A new lightweight device can transform a phone into a powerful mini microscope that is able to detect viruses, for example. The study has been recently published in the ACS Nano journal.
The specialists have commented that the techniques that have been used to detect bacteria and viruses make use of very expensive microscopes, which use all sorts of lenses and other expensive optical elements. Doctors running a small sized practice cannot afford purchasing such devices, and in situations like these the detection of viruses and bacteria can't be done properly.
Fortunately, a new device acts like a compact microscope that can be easily linked to a modern smartphone. Due to its help, viruses can be easily detected; the viral load can be evaluated as well, allowing the doctors to determine how bad a particular infection is.
The device only weighs six and a half ounces. This new microscope is able to detect the cytomegalovirus, for example, a virus that can threaten life of the people who have a poor immunity.
2. Unfortunately, there are kids that require repeated CT brain scans, and all those radiations don't do too much good to their general health. The good news is that doctors have developed a system which can minimize the dangerous radiations.
The new method implies using fewer X-ray snapshots of the brain: just seven of them, instead of 32 or 40, the number required so far. Fortunately, the reduced number of X-rays will not lead to a poorer diagnostic.
Until recently, specialists thought that fewer slides would mean less clarity and accuracy. Fifty kids that suffer from hydrocephalus and require periodic CTs were tested using the new method, and all the resulting scans were clear and accurate.
Specialists say that this method will be very useful in pediatric emergency rooms, where there is a strong need of a quick diagnosis. In the US alone there are more than 60 million CT scans performed every year, and four millions of them are done to kids.
3. Fingerprints or iris recognition will be soon forgotten, as new methods of identification have been discovered and are already used. A new technique implies scanning the blood vessels which are located on the individual's face, under the skin, and this will lead to an almost instantaneous recognition.
At the same time, specialists say that impostors will not be able to create a mask that uses the very same characteristics of a particular human face. Since a thermal imaging camera will also see the blood vessels beneath the mask, which are impossible to recreate, the system will not validate the impostors' faces.
4. iSpO2 is a device that can be connected to most Apple devices, and its sensor can rapidly display the oxygen level, pulse rate and perfusion index readings. The device will probably not be used at home, but it will definitely prove to be of great help for sports lovers, aviators, skiers and all the other persons that are interested in collecting health related information about themselves while performing certain activities. The device will spare them a visit to the doctor and can be already purchased.
5. There are millions of people suffering from epilepsy in the entire world, and about a third of them do not react positively to medication. All the patients that cannot be treated must rely on devices that can detect the pre-seizures electrical activity in the brain.
The devices send electrical impulses to the brain, and thus the seizures get interrupted. Still, in some cases the devices may send electrical impulses even when it is not necessary to do so.
A new software application that is being developed at Hopkins University is capable of detecting only the real seizures, and then acts accordingly. The creators hope that the software will be embedded in a microchip that is able to monitor the neuro electrical activity of people with epilepsy.

Causes of Hunger related to Poverty
In a world of plenty, huge numbers of people go hungry. Hunger is more than just the result of food production and meeting demands. The causes of hunger are related to the causes of poverty. One of the major causes of hunger is poverty itself.
There are other related causes (also often related to the causes of poverty in various ways) including the following:
- Land rights and ownership, Diversion of land use to non-productive use
- Increasing emphasis on export-oriented agriculture
- Inefficient agricultural practices
- War
- Famine
- Drought
- Over-fishing
- Poor crop yield
- Lack of democracy and rights
- etc.
About Scott Hughes

Residents can tour Norwalk's fire station and review a study on changes needed in the department at an open house from 10 a.m. until noon Saturday.
Chief Doug Coletta and Mayor Sue Lesch both will be available to talk to residents during the open house.
"We often times open up the station for tours during Fire Prevention Week," Coletta said. "This year is a special opportunity for residents to tour, given the recent discussions about the need for a new fire station."
Norwalk officials have been talking about building a new fire station for many years and it is one of the goals outlined in the city's comprehensive plan. The city recently commissioned a location and staffing study to review current and projected fire department needs.
"We invite the public to come and take a look," Lesch said. "This open house is an opportunity for residents to see the station with all its challenges up close. We will also be very happy to share the results of our recent study and to hear from residents."

Jaklewicz: Playoff football in December? Sure. Soccer?
John Neese could hardly stand in one place. But it was wise to stay put to keep from running into other fans who also were pacing.
"When you're behind, the clock moves so fast," the Hardin-Simmons athletic director said, glancing at the stadium clock. "When you're ahead, it just crawls."
He glanced again.
Neese expected to do his pacing Saturday at Tiger Stadium in Belton, where the Cowboys were to be rematched with rival Mary Hardin-Baylor in the first round of the NCAA Division III football playoffs.
Instead, after the Cowboys lost their season finale and missed the playoffs, Neese was doing the anxious at the HSU Soccer Complex. Five days before Thanksgiving, the biggest game in Abilene was ... women's soccer.
When Sarah Stansell booted a ball upfield from near the HSU goal with 5 seconds to play, a kick that could not be corralled by an Emory player in time for a final shot, the Cowgirls secured a 2-1 victory that put a Hardin-Simmons athletic team into the final four for only the fourth time in the non-scholarship era.
The Cowboys football team in 1993 (NAIA) and 2000 (Division III) and the Cowgirls basketball team (2006) are the only other programs to be one of the last four teams left standing during their respective seasons.
HSU's success continues an impressive fall by sports that do not use a ball once made out of pigskin.
Abilene Christian's soccer team won its first Lone Star Conference championship and advanced to the Division II postseason for the first time. Combined, HSU and ACU have won 40 of 44 matches.
Too bad their match in September was called off due to a wet field.
Add in ACU returning to the Division II region volleyball tournament, and HSU winning the American Southwest Conference volleyball crown to advance to the postseason to go along with ACU's usual cross country dominance — the Wildcats on Saturday won regional men's and women's titles — and new cross country success by HSU and McMurry, and the so-called minor sports have provided big news.
Justin Feaster was on the sidelines watching the HSU soccer match. Obviously, the Cowboys quarterback would rather have been in huddling the Cowboys against Mary Hardin-Baylor. But he was giving his support to the HSU team still playing.
"These women have represented HSU very well," he said. "It's unfortunate we're not playing, but soccer is one of most dominant sports at HSU."
Feaster, who ended his football eligibility the week before, was watching only his third women's soccer match — "they're always playing when we're practicing," he said, shrugging.
As someone who took his share of hard hits during his Cowboys career, he appreciated the physical play he was seeing. And he certainly appreciated the constant movement that soccer requires (unless you're the HSU keeper and playing an ASC match, thus taking a nap at the net).
"I think I'd be the goalie," he said of what position he'd play in soccer. "I don't want to run that much."
The Cowgirls, on a 23-match run, now will run on down to San Antonio for the D-III final four at the Blossom Athletic Complex, site of the Big 12 soccer championship. The semifinals will be played Dec. 3.
Pause on that: Soccer in December.
Scoot your boots over a little, football. You have company.
Neese is now clear for takeoff at the dinner table Thanksgiving. He'll have ample chance to be walking off the turkey, dressing and pie at the next Cowgirls' match — just 21 shopping days before Christmas.

CANTON - Three defendants in St. Lawrence County Court for sentencing were recognized Thursday for successfully completing a drug treatment program.
St. Lawrence County Court Judge Jerome J. Richards presented certificates to the three people and commended them for their progress in the judicial diversion program.
Not only have you completed the treatment program, youve progressed in your lives, the judge said. Youre productive members of society. Youre not selling or using drugs.
Those recognized include:
■ Bonnie J. Arazy, 48, of 65 Town Line Road, Louisville, was sentenced to five years probation for her conviction for fifth-degree attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance. She admitted selling cocaine in July 2009 in Louisville. She was also ordered to pay $200 in restitution and $375 in surcharge and fees.
■ Kevin C. Guilbert, 30, of 7 Lincoln St., Canton, was sentenced to five years probation for his conviction for fifth-degree attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance. He was originally accused of possessing 9 grams of heroin, about 2 ounces of cocaine and a pair of brass knuckles April 28, 2009 in the city of Ogdensburg. He was also ordered to pay $375 in surcharges and fees.
■ Crystal Fields, 31, of 16 Haskell St., Massena, was placed on one-year interim probation for her conviction for second-degree attempted robbery. Her sentencing was adjourned until Sept. 21, 2013. She was accused of being the driver of a getaway care in a robbery at Shirleys Discount, Massena.
In other court action, a state prison inmate from the Bronx was sentenced Thursday in St. Lawrence County Court to 1 1/2 to 3 years in state prison for assaulting another inmate in May 2011.
■ Kevin Sterling, 32, was charged with second-degree assault for injuring Dale Martin II, May 31, 2011. Mr. Martin received a large head laceration after he was pushed into a telephone pole.
■ Joshua R. LaRock, 23, of 513 New York Ave., Ogdensburg, was sentenced to 120 days in the county jail. He was charged with violating an order of protection by harassing Danette Stark in November and December 2011.

Vibrant and exciting, with intense aromas of light toasty oak, pineapple skin, lemon, gooseberry, acacia honey and peach tart. Flowers even.

While not as concentrated or monumental as this estate's 1989, the 2005 is a fleshy, racy, hypothetical blend of the 1994 and 1998 Haut-Brion, only better. It boasts a gorgeous perfume of citrus oil, lime, honeyed grapefruit, flowers, spicy smoke, and earth, followed by terrific definition, purity, and full-bodied power, but it is not as masculine as its closest competitor, Laville Haut-Brion. The 2005 Haut-Brion will be approachable early, but it should age well for 30-40 years.Author: Robert Parker

Pale yellow-straw color. Deep, mineral-driven aromas of grapefruit, lanolin, vanilla and crushed stone. Large-scaled, seamless, airy and classically dry, with a powerful stony minerality throughout. Hugely concentrated wine with great juicy lift and spice character. The slowly mounting finish saturates the palate with citrus and mineral flavors. This is hiding more than it's showing today and offers exceptional potential. This wine has been consistently stunning in recent vintages.Author: Stephen Tanzer

The ferocious attack on the teenage girl and lack of action against those who carried it out has sparked outrage in the country. The 16-year-old, known by the pseudonym Liz, was reportedly attacked, beaten and then raped by six men as she returned from her grandfather's funeral in western Kenya in June, before the gang dumped her, bleeding and unconscious, in a deep sewage ditch.

The standards for the clinical structure and content of patient records were published in July 2013. They were developed through extensive consultation to ensure that they address the requirements of clinicians, patients, carers and health information technology professionals.
They are needed:
- to ensure that information can be recorded and integrated in electronic patient care records across professions, disciplines and specialities, while properly reflecting best practice
- to generate data that can be used for service delivery and performance management, commissioning, audit and research from data recorded for patient care at the point of care.
These standards were developed for use by:
- clinicians and healthcare professionals from across all clinical disciplines
- those who develop and implement electronic or paper care records.
