It is perhaps an unusual thing for the Government's top adviser on childhood to say. Having spent a large portion of his August holiday looking after his six-year-old grandson, Reg Bailey jokes that he is "very tired" and glad to get back to the relative quiet of the office.
But Bailey, 64, has good reason to be cheerful. He spoke to The Independent shortly after listening to David Cameron, announce in a central London speech that online music videos will begin to carry cinema-style age ratings from October.
Bailey's influential Government-commissioned report "Letting Children Be Children" first suggested the measure in 2011 and he was involved in the creation of the pilot project with YouTube and Vevo, an initiative he describes as "really good news".
The offices of the Mothers' Union, where Bailey has been chief executive for 15 years, are only a short walk from the Houses of Parliament and it is clear that he remains close to Mr Cameron, who has often spoken candidly about the difficulties of raising children and his own efforts to control his family's "screen time".
Bailey has his own views on this, saying that too often British parents let "screens take over" instead of speaking to their children. "We are certainly one of the heaviest users of screen-time – hours in front of the screen," he said.
4 tips to help keep your children safe online
4 tips to help keep your children safe online
1/4 Talk with your children
This is the most important tool in keep your children safe online. Parents might warn their children about speaking to strangers in real life, but neglect to do the same online. The UK's Child Exploitation and Online Protection agency (CEOP) says that "for many of today's young people there is no line between the online and offline worlds". Speaking with children should include knowing what new sites and gadgets they use.
2/4 Learn about social networks' privacy settings
For many young people social networks like Facebook will be their main way to share information online. Posted images or status updates that they thought were private might actually be searchable via Google thanks to default privacy settings. Click here to see our guide for making your Facebook profile secure – and find out if your children are using other online networks such as Instagram or Twitter.

3/4 Know which devices have internet access
Internet access is not limited to computers and laptops – devices including smartphones, tablets and game consoles are also able to access the web. Some may do so through your home Wi-Fi and will therefore be covered by your ISP's filters, but others may use mobile 3G or 4G connections, with filters put in place by the mobile provider - check with your operator to see what filters they have in place.
4/4 Consider setting up parental controls
Each of the big four internet providers (BT, Sky, TalkTalk and Virgin Media) offers free parental controls that can be activated over the internet, with video guides to all four found here. However, parents should remember that filters are never completely effective, and the software may also block sites offering advice about topics that children do not wish to talk to parents about. Be sure to know what you're blocking. Click here to watch video guides showing you how to set up filters.

He is satisfied at the progress made on most of his review's recommendations, such as opt-in internet filters, although he adds that parents still bear ultimate responsibility for what their children encountered online.
Other proposals, such as a child-friendly code of conduct for retailers have also had an impact. "Thongs for six-year-olds have simply disappeared," he says.
But he is convinced that the Government can go further in making shops appeal to families, and has a bold suggestion for rewarding outlets that do so – one that he previously discussed with Mr Cameron's former director of strategy, the bike-riding blue-sky-thinker Steve Hilton.
"One of the steps I'd still like to see is the idea of having a 'family friendly' sticker that you could award stores," he says, pointing out that such as scheme could work in the same way as the green "scores on the doors" stickers given to restaurants and fast food outlets by the Food Standards Agency, which inform customers about their hygiene practices.
"You'd give them to the people who really thought about clothing, retail and so on. I talked a lot to Hilton about it when he was active in No 10. It was one of the ideas I tossed around with him, but it was a question of working out who'd administer it and what it would cost. I still think there's an argument for making family-friendly retail space, because we all spend a lot of time in shops."
Bailey's review also recommended that so-called "lads mags" be moved to the top shelf or given modesty covers so they are not on display to children. He says the big retailers were quick to co-operate, but smaller stores "didn't get it for a long, long time". Now, he says a similar argument could be made about some newspapers.
Asked whether publications such as The Sun and Daily Star which feature scantily-clad women on the front page should be moved to the top shelf, he replies: "I have come more round to that way of thinking. I have less concerns about Page 3 because you have to physically buy the paper, but where it is very graphically on the front page, I do."
He argues the same should apply to newspapers which use violent images on their front page, giving the example of the now notorious picture of a seven-year-old boy holding up the severed head of Syrian soldier, which several newspapers used on their front pages.
"I'm terrified by what that's saying to children about respecting your fellow humanity," he says. "I know people are in the business of selling newspapers, but was that really necessary? Violence is a thing that shapes people's attitudes.
"I'm not trying to censor what people see; I think it's about where you see it and at what point. Newspapers are generally the first thing you tend to see in the aisle. If you buy the newspaper and it's inside, that's your choice – but if it's on the front page even the people who aren't going to buy it are seeing it. That's the argument that was always made by parents about the lads mags: it's not 'I want them banned', it's 'I don't particularly want to see them when I go shopping'."
Some might accuse Bailey of wanting to wrap children in cotton wool, but he says he is only in favour of "sensible precautions" – and he is in favour of lowering the voting age. He is pleased that 16 and 17-year-olds will have a say in next month's Scottish independence referendum, believing that getting young people involved in politics can only be a good thing.
"I think the more you can engage children with thinking about the future and their role in civil society – the earlier the better," he says. "Many people might say that young people are too immature to make up their own minds, but in my experience they are, if anything, more prepared to engage with those issues when they're young. I quite like the idea of youngsters being enfranchised."
So will David Cameron soon be making a speech announcing the arrival of top shelf newspapers, family friendly shop stickers or votes for 16-year-olds? Only time will tell – but if Reg Bailey is involved, it could be a wise bet.Reuse content

The fairy dust bottles were carefully displayed in a bell jar, to be handed out by an adult at the end of the party, for the girls to take home and use as a decoration in their room.

So doing this!!! I can't wait:):) Fairies in a jar for the little girl afraid of the dark 1. Cut glow stick empty it in to a jar 2. Add diamond dust glitter 3. Put lid on jar and shake
such a random cute idea!!:) glitter in a jar for Fairy Dust!
Sounds like a great party idea for older kids! Fairies in a jar. DIRECTIONS: 1. Cut a glow stick and shake the contents into a jar. Add diamond glitter 2. Seal the top with a lid. 3. Shake. (fairy dust glitter found at Joanns Fabrics) Be sure to read the warning on the back of the glowstick package. The ones I used were nontoxic but will stain clothes. Also, I used glowstick necklaces with the thought that it would be easier to cut than a thick glow stick. craft-ideas

Reviews for Mayan Families
I've worked with Mayan Families for 10 years. They are an incredible program! I recently got to visit the headquarters for two days. We toured two of the preschools. We also spend a day at the nutrition center in San Jorge, serving lunch to those in their Elder care program. It is truly incredible work they are doing in the area in and around Panajachel. I especially love that 90% of their staff are local indigenous members of the community they serve. They are truly living their mission!
I just returned from my second trip to Guatemala to volunteer with Mayan Families. I continue to be amazed at the great work they are all so committed to in a very impoverished area of the world. Education is a big part of what they do while helping to feed, shelter and heal the people of Guatemala. Everyone I have met is so committed to the people. I have met the student I sponsor through Mayan Families and I can truly see the difference MF has made in so many lives. I will continue to sponsor and volunteer for MF as they are making a difference in the world!
I visited Mayan Families in April 2016. I met many of the clients they serve at several of MF's facilities as well as in their homes. The staff was very accessible, very dedicated and very eager to get us involved in the program activities. I was impressed how much they rely on the locals at all levels of their work. As much as possible they provide local solutions to local needs. Their emphasis on and efforts toward transparency were impressive. The people they serve are beautiful and seem genuinely and extremely grateful for the needs that they meet.
I've had the pleasure of working with this excellent organization since it's inception. Often donors wonder about the true impact of their contribution. Not so with Miracles in Action where 100 percent of your donation goes directly to the cause. Overhead expenses are covered through special donations and handicraft sales. This is a rare, but highly effective business model. This charity creates substantive change in the communities it serves and I've been fortunate to see that firsthand. In an area faced with crushing poverty and limited opportunities, Miracles in Action is truly a blessing.
Mayan Families is amazing! I just returned from Guatemala and am very inspired by their work. We visited a preschool in an impoverished community called Chukmuk where malnutrition is rampant. Mayan Families provides these kids, many of whom suffer from stunted growth, with a nutritious meal and snack each day - likely the only food they will eat. The children also learn to speak Spanish so they will be ready when they start school. This early intervention in both their physical and mental development offers these children a much better future.
I've had the good fortune to volunteer with Mayan Families for many years. They are transparent and open to all with a heart to help. Thank you, Mayan Families, for allowing me to be a part of your great work!

Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Mayan Families is an incredible organization led by three hard working, dedicated individuals - Dwight, Sharon and Patti. We have been volunteering with them for over 10 years and continue to be impressed with how committed the staff are to the Mayan people. We trust the money we donate is used in the most effective manner and do not hesitate in the least to promote them. Bob & Pam
I went to Guatemala with my college on a Transcultural Healthcare Trip1/1/16-1/10/16. We worked with Mayan Families. I had no idea of what to expect as I have never done anything like this before in my life. Mayan Families were great! They explained everything that the organization is about and why they do what they do. They also were very clear in what we would do as a group of volunteers. We installed 12 Onil stoves in 3 different communities. We also had the opportunity to serve lunch to some of the elderly women of San Jorge. I was deeply touched by the entire experience working with Mayan Families. I felt a deep need to do more than what we as a group had just done; so I sponsored a child for the school year. I am planning a trip in late July to take my 15 year old son down to meet the child we sponsored who is 9 days older than my son. We will volunteer our time with Mayan Families again while there. I am also planning on going on the trip with school again next year during the winter break. I will tell anyone who will listen how great of an experience I had and would highly recommend people going and doing something for someone else and experience the wonderful feeling you get when you make a difference in someone's life.
Amazing charity. I spend 4 days with them and it was a spiritually uplifting experience. you can see immediately how your donations big and small are helping them accomplish their goals. I am looking forward to spending more time with them in Panajachel.
I went to go volunteer and saw the amazing differences they make in the community. It was truly an amazing experience to work with them and will continue to.
My Daughter (13) and I spent 2 days at Mayan Families distributing used shoes to those in need. These 2 days have changed our lives. During this time, we saw first hand the difference that Mayan Families have made in the lives of the indigenous people of the Lake Atitlan area. The passion and dedication of the entire staff was also apparent at all time. My daughter & I can't wait to go back :-))
This is an amazing nonprofit organization with hardworking, dedicated staff. As a trusted, reputable organization in Guatemala, Mayan Families makes visible, long-term impacts on impoverished communities. They work hard to curb extreme poverty through education primarily, but also nutritional and medical assistance, as well as community development and shelter programs.They have changed hundreds - if not thousands - of lives over the last few years and will likely continue to have an incredible impact in Guatemala.

Women's Enrollment Continues to Increase
June 5, 2006
The Condition of Education 2006, published annually by the Department of Education, once again pointed to increasing numbers of women enrolling in undergraduate and graduate education, outpacing their male counterparts. The number of women has exceeded the number of men enrolled in undergraduate education (at both two- and four-year degree-granting institutions) since 1978. In 2005, women comprised 57 percent of the total undergraduate enrollment, and 59 percent of total graduate enrollment. During the past 30 years, women have more than doubled their enrollment in graduate and first-professional programs. Furthermore, women are earning an equal number of degrees in medicine and law—fields once dominated by men—and earn more degrees in the most-popular undergraduate major—business.
Findings on other indicators include:
- The increase in the number of associate degrees awarded between 1989-90 and 2003-04 was higher than the increase in the number of bachelor's degrees over the same time period, 46 percent and 33 percent, respectively.
- Although the field of engineering and engineering technologies remained in the top five by number of bachelor's degrees awarded in 2003-04, the field experienced a decline of 5 percent in the number of awards over the past 15 years.
- The number of students who immediately enroll in college after high school has increased over the past 30 years, from 49 percent of high school completers in 1972, to 67 percent in 2004.
The report contains several postsecondary education indicators and can be downloaded from the National Center for Education Statistics Web site.

The beauty of the free form 'modern' sonnet still lies in its triple quatrain/couplet form.Here is an example of mine.SURREAL FEEL I looked,I saw an image blue/a memory,fleeting yet true,/midst the black,white and grey/just awaiting me to portrait;/I tried to re-capture this dream,/ reality's not how it seems,/it flows & ebbs as morning mist,/just out of reach,shadows persist;/A high sun then dazzles my eyes,/frustration,streams out soundless sighs,/forever lost,this unique insight,/when suddenly,I start to write/Creative words,so surreal/ will my little song appeal ?(Listen to me read this 'modern sonnet' (little song)& other poems recited on youtube under name ichthyschiro).'Old 'or' modern ' in style ,sonnets always need to be spoken aloud& heard.

Millay, in a sonnet about writing a sonnet, puts it best, as usual: I will put Chaos into fourteen lines And keep him there; and let him thence escape If he be lucky; let him twist, and ape Flood, fire, and demon--his adroit designs Will strain to nothing in the strict confines Of this sweet Order, where, in pious rape, I hold his essence and amorphous shape, Till he with Order mingles and combines. Past are the hours, the years, or our duress, His arrogance, our awful servitude: I have him. He is nothing more than less Than something simple not yet understood; I shall not even force him to confess; Or answer. I will only make him good.

I love to see poetry discussions like this and would love to be in a room with you all...seeing your expressions and reactions especially when I add this little gem that I keep in mind with every form...for the reason why a particular form has its genesis. So looking very expectant for ah ha reactions I add in 2 parts . Pythagorean-Platonic theory of numbers. The actual architecture of the sonnet, the decision to add six lines to the familiar strambotto, or eight-line stanza, may be based on discussions of harmonic proportion in Plato's Timaeus and the numerical relations to the sonnet, as well as the ideal ratio proposed by Pythagoras—the Golden Mean, later known as the Divine Proportion

Read the blog and most of the ensuing discussion when I woke up this morning. Wow! What a flurry while I slept. This is the best blog/ discussion since I joined the soup two months ago. While I intend to agree more with Craig and Andrea, I do appreciate all the other comments and, Cyndi, you have made me think and flex my mental muscle which is good. Well, all of you will be the judge of whether it is good on not. Thanks, all, for this energizing rant. I love this kind of exchange. Thanks, Craig, for being a traditionalist in the ways you stated here. I am so saddened by what is happening to the language!! Sometimes I have to read several times just to understand.

My thoughts are it is a great thing to learn from and know enough of the previous legendary poets to be able to discern good from bad and use history to influence the now. Ilove the Blue, the music and when in poetic verse. As anamateur I read the greats to improve but do not care to replicate their work even if I had the talent.I mucgh rather prefer to do my own thing and not care if it impresses to greatness. Not likely to ever be great but do enjoy wrting with the hope it gives others pleasure and/or some amount of hope.

Why jab at academia and yet then expect all to first learn a traditional version of a form verse? Elvis had no musical education, none! He did fine. Natural instinct. The Blues was sung and played by blacks across America by those who were denied formal musical education due to their skin colour. They didn't need to learn how to play Beethoven to find the rhythm of their times. Yes, I agree that there is no harm in learning the traditional forms, but I will argue this point from my grave, it may even by chiseled into the stone, "You do not need to learn a historical form in order to write its contemporary version!" Hell, I may tattoo it on my cushy behind!! LOL! Man, I love letting it out!

Here is my 'modern' sonnet -a demi-sonnet ie 6&1)No noise,silence,/ the beating of my heart,/ alone,with my thoughts;/ Without,I see the breeze,/ soundless,active,alive,/ slowly I awake,arise/ to another day/ Poetry(like art)& as structured prose has endless possibilities to the creative mind.Hallelujah

That's why I tried to get the group to do couplets then quatrains, that is the foundation of a sonnet if you can do those just staggering the end rhyme is very simple! [abab][cdcd][efef][gg] sonnet!

I'm a sonnet guy, and I do have a problem with some poems I've read being called sonnets.Having said that and still in the process of learning how to write a classical sonnet, I'm open to new ideas but not at the expense of what a sonnet is to me. If given a choice though I'd rather read a poorly written sonnet in form and structure and yet soared in its poetic verse then one that was perfect in form yet had no poetry in it...For me my goal is to one day write a sonnet perfect in form and structure and is overflowing with poetic verse..that day is closer than it was 4 years ago when I first started writing sonnets, yet it is still further than I'd like

I'd love to see this blog go HOT... Craig, what do you feel is required for a sonnet to be a sonnet? Other than rhyme and line length? Curious.

I love the classics... I love 'em. And I love the contemporary sonnets. To me, what makes a sonnet truly a sonnet is this--- a metaphor is introduced and then nurtured. There is a twist, a redirection in either mood or thought and then.. (my favourite part)... there is a summary that encapsulates the whole. I have to be honest. I've read some sonnets that are supposedly written in the "classical" way which to me are NOT sonnets (just because they followed a rhyme template...) and then I have read a contemporary sonnet that has barely a hint of rhyme and is not blank verse (so not metered) and yet, it has captured the true SOUL of a sonnet...it is a big idea in a little poem. Perfect. :D

Craig I do agree in part, some things needed changing forever, a basic hand whisk into a multi whisker/chopper/grater/peeler/juicer.....how many chefs would thank you for a basic hand whisk...some things need to be put into a black hole and never seen again, but poetry has evolved and will always evolve it doesn't mean that no one will ever write a sonnet again, the purists are always lurking in the shadows waiting for 'their' moment...

Craig [though I do agree in most part] please post some 'so called' Modern Sonnets that you would never call a sonnet. This was my point in the 3 lines contest - no need to call it haiku & come under those restraints - let it be what it is - or if it's new give it a new form name. Not all verses of 14 lines need to be called a sonnet!

Skip to comments.Aldi takes 'Australia Est 1788' T-shirts off shelves after racism complaints
Posted on 01/08/2014 5:24:22 PM PST by Impala64ssa
...Supermarket chain says decision to remove the design followed tweets 'by a limited number of concerned customers'
Aldi has removed T-shirts from its Australia Day range after the supermarket chain was accused of racism.
Aldi advertised shirts which said Australia Est 1788 to go on sale as part of its Australia Day range.
The shirts drew criticism on Twitter where the supermarket was accused of racism for seeming to say Australia was only established after it was colonised in 1788, despite the existence of an Indigenous population before then.
In a statement Aldi Australia said it had decided to remove the T-shirts from retail and they would not go on sale on Saturday as planned.
The decision to remove the Australia Est 1788 design from the range was taken following comments by a limited number of concerned customers, the statement said.
Aldi Australia wants its customers to know it puts the community and their wishes first.
One Twitter user suggested the est be changed to invaded while others urged people to complain to Aldi directly.
The announcement was welcomed by some but angered others who did not believe the T-shirt was offensive.
(Excerpt) Read more at theguardian.com ...
Lewis and Clark, et. al. et plenty of dog.
I don't think it was called "Australia" before that
Someday someone will stand up to this and just say "Shut up, only a racist would even think of such a thing"
Wow. Instant collectors item. I wonder what they are going for on eBay?
I'd want one, except they're ugly.
Did the indigenous people call it Australia? If not it would be no more racist than proclaiming the USA est. 1776. (Although I feel quite sure there are those who would call that racism as well) face it. They are going to call racism no matter what you do, so why let it bother you?
But Australia was established then. Before then, it wasn't Australia. It was a bunch of unaffiliated tribes, probably headhunters like the chaps next door in New Guinea, with names like Billabong and Didgeridoo.
Are the "more aboriginal than thou" whiners now claiming to be Australian? I'm so confused. I thought they rejected the European colonization and name because of their superior mud culture.
This is more like saying "America, est. 1492" (or 1607 or 1620).
As we see every Columbus Day or Thanksgiving, yes, there are people who would call that racist.
1776? Maybe we're headed to the point where that will be seen as racist as well, but we're not quite there yet.
Much like our own Indians, if the "indigenous population" had better border controls and a bigger defense budget they'd still be in charge!
If I remember right when the Wintered on or near the Pacific Coast, they had an unlimited supply of salmon but preferred dog meat.
Strikes me as strange but probably true.
Actually, Australia is Latin for "Southern" (Terra Australias Icognitio). It was referred as such by the Europeans as early as the 1400s.
Is it 1776 yet? Reds instead of Redcoats this time!
"The shirts drew criticism on Twitter where the supermarket was accused of racism for seeming to say Australia was only established after it was colonised in 1788, despite the existence of an Indigenous population before then."
Sorry, Society for the Perpetually Offended, it wasn't Australia before 1788. Maybe it was the "Land of an Indigenous Population Living in the Stone Age Who Would Later Scream Racism" before 1788, but it was not Australia.
For a country founded by a buncha crooks, they did well until they let the Muzzies in.
As an Australian I don't really count Captain Cook arriving as the establishment of the nation. A far better date at least in terms of political union of the nation is January 1st 1901 (the first day of the twentieth century).
Does that also mean that Aldi will take down any American flag? After all, we claim we were established in 1776, but according to Aldi's thought process, that is patently false.
Before 1776 we, too, were a collection of colonies and a large unhappy native population.
What flag will Aldi fly next week, if any.
The reality is virtually EVERY country in this world was one known by another name.
I have a dream. I dream of a time when we can get back to history being written by the winners instead of it being re-written by a bunch of losers...
"A limited number of concerned customers", eh? So all it takes is a few strongly worded emails from some irate liberals, and the board of directors of Aldi's rolls over.
This is a prime example of yet another major retailer who doesn't 'get it'. I have no doubt that their bottom line will be hurt by such an ignorant, politically correct decision.
Man, I've completely had it with tie dyed liberals celebrating all things backward and primitive. If they really believe those cultures are so superior to their own, let them put their money where their big fat mouths are, and go live there.
Roger that. I've had it up to —> <— here with the whole "myth of the noble savage" milieu. I don't know much about Australian aborigines but I'm betting they were largely similar to their American counterparts. Yeah, yeah, proud sacred traditions... Yadda yadda... Enough.
Time to face the fact that these indigenous people were a small, Stone Age bunch of barbarously warring tribes. Far from living in "harmony" with nature... There just weren't enough of them to permanently damage an area before they moved on and depleted the next place. Life was, as they say: primitive, brutish and short. Theirs was a declining future. Far from any advancements of civilization they didn't even have that most basic building block of success: a written language. An oral tradition seems romantic to phony college professors and hippies but it dooms a people to a desperate existence and denies them any real inter-generational knowledge transfer. Far from any lies about blankets they were already being wiped out by disease well before Europeans arrived.
Plenty of injustices were done to them. That's true. So what? History is replete with unfairness the world over. There is no point and nothing gained by carrying any sense of guilt or tendering any apology some hundreds of years in the future. It's the story of the planet. Get over it.
"From the same company that sold horsemeat-tainted meat in the US."
Just cooked up some mozzarella-stuffed meatballs from Aldi yesterday. If they had horsemeat in em, then I guess horsemeat is delicious :)
Why are normal people afraid of a bunch of purse-carrying wimps?
"Far from any lies about blankets they were already being wiped out by disease well before Europeans arrived."
Well, the big decimation occurred before Europeans came to North America, but not before European contact. The Spanish had already given them smallpox and other diseases, and it spread throughout both continents rapidly, so that North America was mostly depopulated when Europeans got around to settling it.
Thanks Impala64ssa.
If it wasn't smallpox it would've taken even larger quantities of marvels like whiskey, gunpowder, and lead shot. The result would've been about the same.
Because the Abos built such magnificent cities and buildings before the convicts got there. (snicker)
who said the shirts were ugly?
Perhaps if they'd invented the wheel or a written language, they might be in the lead today.
The next thing you know the aborigines will say that the name, "Australia" is racist and needs to be removed much the way sports team names are changed here.
A world chock full of crybabies.... where to turn?
Yes, and in 1787 there wouldn't have even been one word for the entire island continent that was understood throughout it.
Yeah. After all, Australia means "southern land." South of whatcolonialist Europe, man? Obviously ray-ciss, since the Abos' lawyers will tell you, I'm sure, that West Didgeridoo is the center of the world and universe. The head-hunting gods told us so.
I'm making this up, but I'll read it on Drudge tomorrow, won't I?
The "checkmate" question for these anti-colonial types -
was the standard of living better while these countries were colonized, or worse than before they were colonized?
About $20 on ePay.
hmm. As an Australian I would have thought you would know that Captain Cook had been dead for almost a decade in 1788.
yes my mistake.....so first fleet landing rather

Pilot Clubs celebrates 50th year Saturday
HOUSTON – There are thing in this town that were started, built and done by Pilot International.
But if ask a Houston Pilot Club member what they like the most about their organization is the people it has helped.
"I've been a member since 1976 and I can't tell you how many people we have helped in that time," said Mary Davis, who has served as club president four different times. "It hasn't always been big things, but I has always been appreciated by the people whose lives it has changed."
Davis said those benefiting from local efforts have been students, single moms, the elderly, families and other civic efforts in the community.
"We give scholarships to high school students, we work with groups at Christmas time, we helped put up the signs at the entrance to Houston," said Davis. "And of course our national mission is to help prevent brain injuries and help fund research to cure brain diseases."
Davis said she has handed out helmets to kids who ride bicycles, stood at local intersections to raise money for the club and helped with bringing vendors to the Houston Flywheel Festival.
"But it is the friendships I have built over the years that mean the most," said Davis. "I invited Dorajean Sanderson to join this club years ago. She has been a dear friend ever since."
Sanderson agreed with Davis it is the relationship with other women and girls that has meant the most to her.
"Pilot Club women and Anchor Club girls have a heart for service," said Sanderson. "If we see something that needs to be done, we do it."
Sanderson said through the years those relationship have spread across the state and country.
"I've met a lot of good people at state and national programs," said Sanderson. "They are people I can call today to help with issues and concerns in my community and my life."
And Sanderson and Davis and the other members of the Houston Pilot Club and Anchor Club will celebrate those bonds with a reception from 2-4 p.m., Saturday at Parkway Baptist Church.
And the community is invited to attend.
There will be refreshments and a program. Most of all there will be a chance for Houston Pilots to mark this milestone and look forward to 50 more years of service to their community and each other.
Pilot International was chartered on Oct. 18, 1921 in Macon, Ga., by Elizabeth Leonard and forty local businesswomen. The name "Pilot" was inspired by the mighty riverboat pilots of that day who represented leadership and guidance.
Anchor Clubs are the student-led organizations whose aim is to develop young ladies into civic-minded adults.

The Union of Small and Medium Enterprises (UNISAME) urged the caretaker prime minister Mir Hazar Khan Khoso to play an effective role and take corrective measures wherever needed to improve economy.
President UNISAME Zulfikar Thaver said the business community is badly affected by deteriorating law and order, bad energy supply management, inflation, depreciation of rupee, high cost of production and huge expenses of the government compelling closure of most of development work.
He said the caretaker government is surely duty bound to make corrections wherever required and set right the omissions, neglect and mistakes of the ex-government.
He invited the attention of the PM to the flight of capital, the feeling of insecurity in the business community and urged and his worthy cabinet to take positive steps and not just wait for the next government to set things right. The interim period is very important considering the issues facing the country and remaining passive to the issues will enhance the difficulties.
The caretaker cabinet ministers are expected to shoulder the responsibilities and ensure that during the caretaker period they are able to confront the issues boldly especially the issues of law and order, economy, corruption and inflation. It is expected that the cabinet ministers will pay surprise visits to the departments and related sectors and areas under their ministries he hoped.
The union felicitated the newly appointed cabinet of the caretaker setup and expressed confidence in the selection of reputable persons of high integrity and hoped the portfolios will be allotted according to the experience and expertise of the members especially the portfolios of finance, industry, commerce, agriculture, health and education.

Abstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder resulting in slowness, tremors, and imbalance. Treatment of mice with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6 tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) is one of several models used to mimic PD in humans. Administration of MPTP leads to the production of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-2,3 dihydropyridinium (MPP+). MPP+ is taken up by dopaminergic neurons, causing mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death. Because calpain is involved in neuronal cell death and mitochondrial dysfunction, we examined the level of calpain in neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) and hippocampus of MPTP-treated C57BL/6 mice. Because of the interconnections between spinal cord and upper central nervous system neurons, we examined morphology, calpain activity, and calpain expression in neurons by double immunofluorescence using calpain and neuron marker (NeuN) antibodies. In controls, calpain expression was low in SN, hippocampus, and spinal cord NeuN+ cells, and the NeuN stain was concentrated around the nucleus. In mice sacrificed 24 h after administration of three 20 mg/kg doses of MPTP, calpain expression was slightly increased in SN and hippocampal neurons and moderately increased in spinal cord neurons. In these animals, the NeuN stain was less concentrated around the nuclear membrane. One week after MPTP treatment, calpain content in NeuN+ cells was greatly increased in SN, hippocampus, and spinal cord. Morphologically, SN and spinal cord neurons, treated for one week, were necrotic with a granular cytoplasmic NeuN content. Also, MPTP treatment upregulated calpain activity and mRNA level in spinal cord. These data suggest that following MPTP treatment, calpain causes neuronal death in SN as well as in spinal cord.

Share Our Sugar Holds Great American Bake Sale
Another day, another benefit -- don't the people who run these things have day jobs? Right, I forgot, pestering people for money is their job. Be that as it may, Share Our Strength pesters as well as anyone, and its annual Great American Bake Sale takes place this Sunday, May 2 from 12 to 4 p.m. in Center Court at Aventura Mall. More than 25 local food businesses will "bake a difference", including Ocean Prime, Bourbon Steak, Chef Allen's, Grand Lux Cafe, Alisa's Painted Bistro, and Nordstrom Café Bistro.
Kids will be able to decorate cupcakes, and there will be raffles for $1 each, proceeds to be "distributed to local organizations that feed children and assure them access to good nutrition." Domino Sugar is one of the main sponsors of the days events, so "good nutrition" in this case is presumably convincing your children that the more white sugar they eat, the healthier they'll be.
In related news, Share Our Sugar -- er, Strength, will be teaming with Phillip Morris to insure that children have decent access to healthful tobacco.

Tammy's review
Sep 29, 2011
I think this book was an awesome short story. It took me only a half hour to read so it was like a great sitcom. The storyline was great the characters true to life and believable. I am excited about reading the next one. I loved the part of panic attacks I myself have never had one but the physical descriptions actually showed me the pain that they go through.

An analysis of chirp sonar signals backscattered from ocean sediments is presented in this paper to estimate sound attenuation in ocean sediments. The theory of applying a matched filter to linear frequency modulation chirp signals for generating time compressed pulses (CPs) is described and implemented. After the matched filter technique was applied, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the CP was enhanced. However, a smearing effect resulting from the convolution operation diminished the advantage of the improved SNR. The chirp signal processing algorithm is described and applied to a sample data set collected from an area with a variety of different sediments offshore northeastern Taiwan. For the exploration of signal features, time-frequency analysis is employed to reveal the characteristics of chirp signals presented in the joint time-frequency domain. Based on the spectral ratio method, ocean sediment attenuation properties are compared to those obtained from core samples analyzed in the laboratory. The observed attenuation coefficient was lower than those of some of the previous studies, but it was still within the reported data range. Factors that could contribute to the uncertainty are discussed.

Blu-Ray Review: Marvel Character Strikes Out Swinging With 'Punisher: War Zone'Submitted by BrianTT on March 18, 2009 - 8:22pm
Blu-Ray Rating: 3.0/5.0
CHICAGO – It's officially a strikeout for Marvel's The Punisher, a character now featured in not one, not two, but three bad movies of his very own. Dolph Lundgren swung wildly and missed with his "The Punisher" and Thomas Jane nearly connected but went foul with his reboot of the franchise. Now, Ray Stevenson is the latest actor to fail to connect with this legendary character in "Punisher: War Zone," now available on Blu-Ray.

McKinley Addresses Rotary Club
The federal Environmental Protection Agency is "one of the biggest threats to our society," Rep. David McKinley said during a meeting of the Wheeling Rotary Club on Tuesday.
In addition to the environment, McKinley, R-W.Va., spoke to his fellow Rotarians about the financial future, bipartisanship and West Virginia's presence the nation's capital.
McKinley said he is proud to be the first from the Northern Panhandle to represent the 1st Congressional District since Glen Dale native and former Gov. Arch Moore held the post more than 40 years ago.
"Let me tell you how much of an honor it is to represent the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia," McKinley said, adding he brought more than 47 years of local business experience with him to Washington, D.C.
McKinley said prior to his appointment, West Virginia had not had a member of the influential Energy and Commerce Committee in more than 40 years, although the committee deals with issues that are crucial to the state. The biggest issue facing legislators is the "fiscal cliff," McKinley said, referring to the nation's precarious financial situation.
One policy set to change on Jan. 1 is the payroll tax holiday, a 2 percent reduction over the previous two years of the income workers pay into Social Security. Most of the country was not even aware of the break, however, according to McKinley.
"Ninety-nine percent of people had no idea they got a payroll tax holiday last year," he said. "It was a plan that didn't work, so we have to decide what to do with it. My guess is that it'll expire."
McKinley also recalled a speech he gave against the EPA and how he was chastised for his words by a fellow congressman. He later sought out that colleague, however, in an ultimately successful effort to increase cooperation for the sake of accomplishment.
"It doesn't do any good if you're just being partisan in (Washington, D.C.)," McKinley said.
Regarding whether the the U.S. military should withdraw from Afghanistan prior to the end of 2014, McKinley said he would not challenge President Barack Obama's promise to do so.
He did offer this caution, however: "Let's be very careful. Let's make sure that we have left in place something that can be sustained."
