Ugh. This will ruin a few people's days.
Not the way to start the season... however, if this was going to occur, better now than during the first regular season game. There is time to work and develop another player into that position... with pleny of practice time available.
After all those precautions taken to avoid injuries in practice, this happens.
This injury thing the last few years became old a long time ago.Hide replies
This is what happens when you move guys to unfamiliar positions.
OK, this has to qualify as the densest post of the year. The injury happened in a pile.....what in the world does that have to do with playing in an unfamiliar position? And, just so you are aware, Bulaga played LT for three seasons at Iowa.
He can't be "a mainstay on the offensive line" if he's never on the field. Knee, hip now knee again. 24 and he's damaged goodsHide replies
I agree that to be a "mainstay" you have to be on the field, but to call him "damaged goods" goes a bit far. Basically, everyone that has played a season of football games is "damaged," but the Packers have had OL come back from worse and longer layoffs and do well. Mark Tauscher, Mike Flanagan, Chad Clifton just to name a few.
Agree, facts. Name me an NFL player who has survived his career and been injury free. It's not the severity of the injury, but rather the degree to which it heals, and to which the player is able to recover. I'm betting on the Whale to beat this, too. Along with his way-too-short arms.
Here we go again. Bulaga out fot the year will have missed 30 out of 48 games
Next man up. Self pity is the wrong response.
SF lost Crabtree, Seattle lost Harvin.
Lang is also an option, especially if Barclay can play guard. We will be fine.Hide replies
Agreed on next man up.
Totally disagree on Lang. When that guy moves around he's a mess. When he plays one position, he's very effective.
This is the worst NFL injury of the preseason so far, unfortunately...not even close...because of the implications for the best player in the NFL.
Gotta find someone to stop the speed rush from getting to Rodgers' blind spot or else the potential signing of Vince Young might have more impact than I had though it would when those stories first came out.
Yikes! Does that mean the Vikings, Lions or Bears win the NFC North?
We will be fine? Why do first round offensive tackles get so much money if teams are fine with or without them?
The offensive line was not fine last year. There's a chance they will be a little better by replacing Barclay with the rookie. It is pollyannish not to acknowledge that the loss of Bulaga has signficantly weakend the offensive line.
huck, it's ChickenLittle-ish to think it will be anything more than a bump in the long road of the season.
Using "mainstay" to discribe Bulaga is no longer appropriate.
Sherrod contributing seems like a pipe dream...I would not be surprised to see him waived with an injury settlement or back on IR again to create space on the roster for guys who can play...it seems his break was every bit as devastating as Mike Flannigan's injury...maybe worse.
What a blow...three blows actually: Concern for Aaron's blindside, the run game (Bulaga was a very good run blocker), and options for depth on the O line.
Huge blow to this team. It's not Cobb, Rodgers, or Mathews that's out but still, this one really hurts.
it may not be time to put a fork in the packer season but if definitely is time to get the fork out of the drawer. between one of the worst offensive lines in pro football and the worst place kicker the super bowl is in a galaxy far far away. how about a pool on how many times rodgers gets sacked in san francisco I will go with 6.Hide replies
be careful Patrick there are some posters on here who think the packers line is above average and that most of the sacks were Rodgers fault,in fact they go as far as to say that if manning or brady was bhind this line that both would only be sacked 25 or less,thats quite an indictment on Rodgers isn't it
I have a suggestion for where you can put that fork, Chicken Little.

When government suppresses the free market and takes over the healthcare sector, you get some really odd results.
Consider these stories from Sweden:
A man sewing up his own leg after getting frustrated with a long wait.
The government denying a wheelchair to a double amputee because the bureaucrats decided his impairment might not be permanent.
Speaking of amputations, an unfortunate man was put on such a long waiting list that his only treatment, when he was finally seen, was to have his penis removed.
Today, we're going to augment that list. But not with another story from Sweden, which is actually a much better country in terms of public policy than most folks realize.
Instead, we're going to look at some great moments in government-run healthcare in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
Our first story is from the Chicago Tribune and it deals with Medicaid and Medicare spending.
But we're not going to look at the aggregate data. Those numbers are very sobering, to be sure, and you can click here and here to learn more about that problem.

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
Here is the latest cool comic book moment in our year-long look at one cool comic book moment a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
Today we take a look at the great Batman moment from Grant Morrison's first JLA storyline.
To set the scene for JLA #4 (written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Howard Porter), a group of aliens known as the Hyperclan have shown up on Earth, seemingly to help the planet (while at the same time, people with fire-derived powers have mysteriously gotten sick).
But really, they're bad guys, so the newly formed Justice League of America try to take them down, but they're having problems, which is magnified when the Martian Manhunter seemingly turns on his teammates.
In any event, the entire team has been captured, including Superman (who is being held prisoner and being tortured with kryptonite). The only one who was not captured was Batman, who seemingly was killed in a plane crash (but we know he survived).
Now the Hyperclan go off to deal with "just one man."
"The" moment is a tough call.
Is it the "I know your secret" bit?
Or is it "You're martians, aren't you?"
Or is it the fire/"ready when you are"?
Hmmm…I'm going with "ready when you are"
But I can be convinced otherwise!!
The one thing that needs no convincing is how cool this moment is – I can't believe it took me this long to feature it!
I'd say 'I know your secret', because it showed how tough he was – we didn't know how, but he'd taken one down already, and now was gloating about it – and made the aliens lose confidence for the first time.
Once that happened the rest of the butt-kicking was inevitable.
The moment for me is the look on Superman's face in the "He's only a MAN!" panel.
Yeah, Diggity, that's a hell of a moment, as well.
These six pages have, like, four really cool comic book moments.
I gotta go with Diggety on this one. You can tell what Superman's thinking: "Batman's free? Oh you are so screwed!"
When I was a younger, back before high school, this comic amazed me. It was the first time outside of the super friends that the Justice League actually meant more than cannon fodder for something superman couldn't handle. (IE, Doomsday). I remember how rare comics were in my town, and backissues only came from a lot of luck when i went up state.
This story arc constantly impressed me and kept me hanging in there with the title longer than I was used to. Up until this point I just bought whatever and didn't pay it much mind.
Then years later, because of this book and it's an incredible moments, I finally started noticing writers and artists by name. I had picked up the first issue of Morrison's New X-men and instantly recognized the writing style. I had to dig out my old copies of JLA to see if I was right.
This book is probably the one I would point to if someone asked me what kept me reading comics from early youth and into my teens.
The other thing about it that I love is how much more impressive it is when you understand Morrison's mindset a bit better. Having read much of the same books and studied many of the same subjects that inspired books like The Invisibles, JLA is a strangely informative read into his interests. I never would have been able to point out the significance of the Worlogog outside of a comic book object until reading Terence Mckenna's True Hallucinations and seeing the object described almost exactly right there in the book!
And in Rock of Ages especially it seems Morrison's alien abduction scenarios have an influence. When Kyle is being abducted by Metron, it's almost chilling seeing the comparison between how it's portrayed and the DMT experience that has so heavily influenced a lot of Morrison's work, including Final Crisis.
Even the title of FC is used in True Hallucinations near the end of the book when Mckenna is describing a mushroom related experience he had, and the title of the final issue (New Heaven, New Earth i believe) is actually word for word as well.
This book was smart and edgy in ways I never appreciated as a younger boy, but being over a decade older now it speaks on even greater levels. This is why I loved comics so much. The really amazing ones worked on so many levels, if you didn't know about the subtext it would still impress you… and years later, a bit more informed, it would absolutely stun you.
Great comic to pick from.
The scene with Flash waiting for Kyle to arrive in the desert was another good one, and his race with Zum was awe inspiring. "Flash fact", indeed.
What's the name of the tpb for this storyline? JLA: ?
New World Order I believe. It contains the first 4 issues. Can also be found in the newer TPB's they put out containing larger issue counts, i'd recommend those first. Search JLA and morrison on Amazon, should find it.
I remember picking up these issues and thinking "The JLA is back at last." I hadn't enjoyed the book since Giffen and DeMatteis left. Superman's smile is another in a long line of definite "moments" during the initial arc.
"Now I have a machine gun. Ho ho ho!"
NIce reference Crash-Man.
Batman is truly a badass but he never had to take out supervillains barefoot!
This entire story is basically one long moment of cool – including Wolverine being BBQ'd.
Great little "okay, the X-Men have had their time in the sun, but now the JLA is back" moment with that.
The cool moment here is indeed Superman smiling; he knows that Batman's going to kick these guys around the room, and what's more, in spite of himself he's going to take great joy in watching it happen.
The smile is definitely the moment, as great as everything else is, that's the point when Superman realises victory is inevitable.
Right, the hardcover is back on my wishlist. So much for trying to trim it back.
Thanks Brian!
i would go with all three choices but mostly the arc proved why batman is not someone to mess with for one does not need superpowers and batman's mind is his biggest weapon. not to mention loved the hyperclan freaking out over the fire.
Great moment, but this is also what probably kicked off the overused "Batman is prepared for EVERYTHING" phenomenon of the 90s. I remember my friends and I joking that if Galactus showed up in Gotham, Batman would have a bat-ultimate nullifier handy.
Great moment.
As for the "Batman is prepared for everything" phenomenon, that is one reason I am really interested to see how Morrison writes a non-Bruce Wayne Batman. Without the idea that Batman is almost supernaturally equipped to deal with any contingency to fall back on, we'll hopefully get to see an exploration of other aspects of the Batman concept.
The smile from Superman is not just the moment here, it may be the greatest JLA moment period. In one panel, it shows the reader just how over-whelming their tactical superiority is.
I also really enjoyed the Flash's follow-up line to this moment, but won't ruin it in case it is going to be it's own seperate moment. I've had some problems with Morrison's writing style over the years, bu I always enjoyed his portrayal of Batman in JLA.
I always wondered where he got the gasoline from and why the Martians couldn't smell it.
Uh…they can smell it. They very clearly point out the smell. They just don't quite recognize it at first, presumably because as a Martian you make it a habit not to be around really really combustible substances.
I love this moment, so great. I wish we could get this Morrison who writes great superhero stories back rather than the one who writes endless metanarrative.
The smile from Superman is not just the moment here, it may be the greatest JLA moment period. In one panel, it shows the reader just how over-whelming their tactical superiority is.
It doesn't really show "their" tactical superiority since Superman and the others had nothing to do with it. It shows Batman's resilience and ingenuity maybe, but not some great group tactical moment. This is not a diss to the scene at all, it's great, but no need to read more into it than what's there.
Yep, that smile is the moment. Not only would I echo many of the sentiments already mentioned, but it also sums up Superman's deep respect for Batman and his ability magnificently.
I've always liked the moment a little earlier on where the disguised white Martians are going on about how Batman is just a man in a mask and Superman says something like, "He's the most dangerous man alive," which, as you can see, they completely ignore.
I agree that the "Batman is always prepared for everything" trope has gotten a little out of hand–particularly when it's been used as a jumping-off point for entire multi-title crossovers where his contingency plans have gone horribly wrong ("The OMAC Project," "War Games"). However, it does make perfect sense for him to have devised countermeasures to use against super-powered adversaries when you consider the world he lives in. All that time he spent training, he had to have researched the Justice Society and their contemporaries, so he certainly would have researched their enemies. Add to that the fact that he was living in Gotham City, which was the original Green Lantern's base of operations. He had to know that once he began his mission it was inevitable that he was going to come up against people with powers and abilities he didn't have. Figuring counterattacks to be used against super-powered combatants would have been a necessary survival tactic.
My favorite moment from this story is still "Alarm bells are ringing all over the world. He can *hear* them."
Yeah, I love this moment. I'm (apparently) one of the few people left who love Morrison's always prepared "Bat God" take on Batman, and this is the moment when I fell in love with that take on the character.
For me, I think the single moment is "I know your secret." Really gets to the heart of Batman's schtick: he's as much about fear and intimidation as he is the actual fighting. He WANTS them to know he knows, he wants them to be scared and uneasy as a result.
This is maybe my favoritest moment in comics ever. Blew my mind when I first read it! May have been the first Grant Morrison comic I encountered.
I also like the follow-up bits, like Superman's "he's the most dangerous man alive," and GL's "Only four of 'em, Batman? You're slowing down."
They should really just film this storyarc and call it the JLA movie.
This is my favorite Batman is a bad ass moment outside of a Batcomic. Knowing that weakness makes it possible.
This is the storyarc that brought me back to comics.
Nice choice.
The martian's mistake reminds me of a role playing game I was in. The plot was that an undead creature was extracting revenge on the judge and jury who had sentenced it to death. We had figured out who it was and who his next target was. But, not what it was.
But, we had made a huge tactical error. We holed up in a small wooden shack. The judge gave us Notice rolls and some of us smelled kerosene. We then debated what sort of undead smells like kerosene.
Turns out, an undead setting the building on fire smells like kerosene.
"What is that smell?" indeed.
I've always liked the moment a little earlier on where the disguised white Martians are going on about how Batman is just a man in a mask and Superman says something like, "He's the most dangerous man alive," which, as you can see, they completely ignore.
I think that's actually AFTER this, when the other White Martians don't report back.
My vote is for Superman's smile as the moment. Superman may be the only superhero whom Batman cannot intimidate, but his respect for the Bat is clearly without match.
See, I always liked Howard Porter. Even this early on there's some real thought goin' into the design of those pages.
I second MarkAndrew's comment about Howard Porter — the art's a little raw compared to his recent stuff, but man if he doesn't draw the book the way it should be drawn. He nails the mood and characters perfectly.
Have a good day.
John Cage
"I know your secret." i remember practically getting up and cheering for that panel. Superman's smile is great, too, but A-Mortal just hanging there and the bald woman panicking were awesome.
Beats the hell out of sitting at a table talking about who should be on the team.
It's true, actually, that this would make a great JLA flick. They'd have to give us an intro to Martian Manhunter in that movie anyway – just reiterate that as far as he knows, he's the only Martian left. Wouldn't have to do it like the JL show, they could make him a long-standing, founding member of a preexisting group. Do we really need a cartoon-style origin for the team? Nope.
Another moment that's less a moment itself as it is a great sequence of moments.
A lot of people are discussing the martian reveal here as a fun element to the story. Right off the back Morrison sets it up as we get the first mention of a character with fire based powers losing their super powers.
As the plot goes on we see this pay off more and more. I think it's awesome that from the very first page, we were getting hints to the story's direction.
The coolest part wasn't featured here. It's when Superman tells the Hyperclan that Batman is the most dangerous man in the world.
i concurr w/ the "superman smile is the moment" camp.
This is the kind of Batman I love. It shows why he can contend with the superpowered members of the league. Some people doubt it. Superman knows that if anyone can get them out of that situation it's Batman.
I like that he's always prepared; sorry I'm a Batman fan. Never underestimate him.
As I told a friend of mine–THAT is my defining Batman moment. Any other portayal fails for me, which is why I did not care much for the Brubaker-Rucka years,though I like both writers elsewhere.
Y'all are missing the best part of the best moment. If memory serves as well as I'd like, when Supes makes the "He's the most dangerous man on Earth" comment, he's sick, fevered, bound, and in pain, and he's LAUGHING — giggling, really — at these poor Martian suckers. Good old Supes, the nicest bouncer in the bar, wracked with misery, still can't control his mirth at the hurt, terror, and humiliation his nastiest pal is going to put his captors through. You get the impression that he might've considered feeling bad for them if they hadn't hurt any innocents yet — or any of his friends. Respect for Batman, indeed.
I don't see it, John. Superman wasn't laughing at thier upcoming pain, more that knowing smile that says "you're not the first to underestimate him and you won't be the last!"
Bob, I agree that's part of it. Superman, at that point, knew the Martians would lose and the Justice League would win because they had underestimated Bats. But I still think he's laughing like a movie audience that sees the bad guys' beat down about to commence. It's the satisfaction of seeing justice done.
If only an artist better than Porter drew this. Those are some ugly panels.
This is why villains need to shoot first, and talk later. Stupid Martians deserved to lose lol
For me, the moment is a draw, either Superman smiling, or "I know your secret".
I know this is old, but I just discovered this feature and want to add my two cents. This moment is AWESOME, but I also love the beginning of the next issue- when Superman figures things out, too. "He can hear them."
I love that Morrision was perfectly comfortable with Superman being very cunning himself. It doesn't have to be all Batman.
I agree, Colby. It shows the high (if unoriginal) concept of Morrison's all-star JLA. At any moment, any one of them can make a game-changing big play, and they may all do it at the same time. Today is Batman's turn to shine, but eventually Aquaman takes down the monster alien, Wonder Woman beats the rebel angel, and Green Lantern stops the sun from going nova. This team was made for moments like these, where the audience cheers and the bad guys go all incontinent.

Patient Comments: Sjögren's Syndrome - Describe Your Experience
Please describe your experience with Sjögren's syndrome.
Comment from: maddi6, 75 or over Female (Patient) Published: April 19
I was diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome in 2004. I had been ill for 2 years prior to this. I was then diagnosed with mixed essential cryoglobulinemia and I had to have 38 apheresis treatments where they remove all of your blood then centrifuge it and replace the plasma with albumin. So far this hasn't returned but I now have very severe pain across my shoulder blades and into my ribs. I also managed to get a herpes infection on my cornea and will be on anti-viral medication for the rest of my life. I just want to feel well again.
Comment from: CURTISES1, 75 or over Male (Patient) Published: December 29
I have had Sjogren's syndrome for about 13 years, starting with dry eyes and progressing to macular holes in both eyes which have been corrected. My latest problem is skin lesions, like something is depositing out of my feet and legs. It is scaly, and can be removed with a bit of scrubbing but leaves my skin irritated. It is progressing up my body in the form of a severe skin rash. The rheumatologist that I am seeing has prescribed acetonide cream. It works marginally.
Comment from: Karin, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: September 28
I was just diagnosed with primary Sjogren's syndrome in April/May after stumbling on an article and realizing I had multiple symptoms that I could definitively trace back at least 3 years. These include dry mouth (with numerous dental issues), dry eyes, GERD, petechia on lower legs, fatigue and muscle/joint pain and periods of neuropathy. However, I have a history of carpal/cubital tunnel syndromes so it's difficult to say if the arm pain and neuropathy are related to Sjogren's or carpal/cubital issues.
Comment from: Linda, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: September 21
I have had Sjogren's syndrome since I was a child but did not get diagnosed until I was 30 years old. I had a lip biopsy and other testing done and was diagnosed. I have had to have first all my teeth capped and when they all fell apart I had to turn around and have all implants. The cost was phenomenal. For my dry eyes I take bilberry leaf daily. This has helped immensely. Also I suck on xylitol candies which actually reduce cavities in people with their teeth. This has been a total life saver. I am now able to go into a store without a water bottle by having the xylitol pills handy. National Nutrition sells them by jars of 240 for around USD 11. They are worth it. At present I have had a terrible episode of ultra-severe pain in my hip and thighs. I could not even walk more than a few steps without being in agony. I have had to go on high dose of prednisone and Plaquenil as well as naproxen. Up until now I have been able to manage but it suddenly one day just became debilitating. I do take many supplements such as krill oil and a host of other things that help joint function and so forth. The prednisone is keeping me from sleeping at night but in order to walk I have to take it. It took about 12 days for it to work. Percocet did not help for the pain it was just that bad. Please make sure to take bilberry for the eyes, krill for the joints and magnesium malate as well which is so important. Also I take 4000 IUs of vitamin D and vitamin K2 to help utilize it. I eat a very healthy diet and have very little if any sugar in it. I hope some of these ideas help someone.
Comment from: Cynthia, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: June 30
I am 62 years old. For years I had bouts with fatigue. My hair began to fall out and I mentioned this to my primary doctor. She requested blood work and Sjogren's syndrome showed up. A visit to the rheumatologist confirmed Sjogren's and rheumatoid arthritis. The rheumatologist referred me to an ophthalmologist and plugs were immediately placed in my eyes to help the dryness. I have tingling in my hands and feet. Oh, I have had injections in my head to stimulate hair growth. I have spent over USD 1500 for cavities and am no way finished yet. My lips used to be so dry and crusty; I thought it was stressed related. I still have a nagging cough. I wake up with tingling in my hands and feet but after walking 5 miles it helps. I survived breast cancer, I consider this another journey to go through.

Despite a wide range of feature detectors developed in the computer vision community over the years, direct application of these techniques to surgical navigation has shown significant difficulties due to the paucity of reliable salient features coupled with free--form tissue deformation and changing visual appearance of surgical scenes. The aim of this paper is to propose a novel probabilistic framework to track affine-invariant anisotropic regions under contrastingly different visual appearances during Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). The theoretical background of the affine-invariant anisotropic feature detector is presented and a real-time implementation exploiting the computational power of the GPU is proposed. An Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) parameterization scheme is used to adaptively adjust the optimal templates of the detected regions, enabling accurate identification and matching of the tracked features. For effective tracking verification, spatial context and region similarity have also been incorporated. They are used to boost the prediction of the EKF and recover potential tracking failure due to drift or false positives. The proposed framework is compared to the existing methods and their respective performance is evaluated with in vivo video sequences recorded from robotic-assisted MIS procedures, as well as real-world scenes.

Bad Kreuznach is widely regarded as one of Germany's finest health spa resorts. Here radon therapy has been used to relieve complaints for 100 years.
This state-approved spa resort lives and breathes spa treatments and tourism. Day-to-day life and culture are seamlessly blended with the high standards of a spa and holiday resort. Visitors come here to build up their defences, to stave off illness or to convalesce.
Rich in minerals, the spring water is the most important local remedy in Bad Kreuznach. From 500 meters depth, the mineral water is pumped up with a salt content of 1.5-2 % .
In Bad Kreuznach guests can also experience the natural benefits of radon gas, which has been used in safe concentrations for a century to treat rheumatism and inflammations. Bad Kreuznach first pioneered the use of radon therapy in an underground quicksilver chamber where the air is dry and almost completely free of dust. For one hour patients inhale safe concentrations of the radon gas that appears naturally in the air. This inhalation therapy is eminently suitable for the elderly and those with unstable circulation.
A variety of leisure and relaxation options can be found within a few minutes' walk and an enchanting river and forest landscape is right on the doorstep. Visits to the many museums and monuments in and around the town can be combined as an itinerary for a delightful walk or a stroll.

I recently came across a situation where I wanted to call a C function from Fortran, because of a useful snippet of C code. For convenience in array operations, I wanted to be able to call this function with array arguments as well, but it only accepted scalar arguments.
In Fortran, one can of course simply declare a procedure to be
elemental to achieve this, and one can declare an interface to a C procedure with
bind(C). However, since C does not have the concept of elemental procedures, the Fortran (2008) standard rules out this combination:
C1246 An elemental procedure shall not have the BIND attribute.
So, can this functionality be achieved in Fortran?

I don't know anything about Earth's Best. I do know that when my LO was a newborn I had a small pack of 7th Generation. I might as well had put sandpaper on his tush--that's what they felt like. And one time I put it on for an overnight: he woke up with this huge cut going across part of his butt because it was just too harsh on him :( I'll never do that again. Not meant to scare you, but hope this helps a little!

Healthier diapers are:
Seventh Generation (Target)- stiff and skinny butt, poop leaks, huge tabs that will rub skin if not perfectly lined up.
Nature Babycare- run small, leak, not contoured, tabs
Broody Chick- never tried, expensive
Tushies (diapers.com)- haven't tried, lots more bulky
Attitude (diapers.com)- leak pee horribly
My fav: Earth's Best (diapers.com)- LOVE....soft, contoured fit, not bulky, affordable, no leaks, Velcro soft tabs
And my fav wipes are seventh generation, but at home I mostly use water or California baby diaper area wash
Great resource for all kinds of safer products
We use seventh generation on occasion. They seem to be the least evil of the disposables.

An Analysis of the Peer Relationships of Gifted and Gifted-Creative Primary Students
Date: December 1987
Creator: Greene, Debra Blatt
Description: The purpose of this study was to compare the peer relationships of highly gifted and highly gifted-highly creative primary students in a gifted classroom of a public school. The study was conducted using thirty-one highly gifted first, second, and third graders who had scores of 140 or better on the WISC-R, WPPSI, or Otis-Lennon. At the beginning of the school year, the Creativity Assessment Packet was administered to the class. The top 20 percent scorers in the class (termed gifted-creative) and those who scored in the bottom 20 percent of the class (termed gifted) on the CAP were targeted for observation. In addition, a sociogram was administered to each student individually for the purpose of determining each child's social status. A bivariate correlation coefficient was employed to express the degree of any relationship between creativity scores and rankings on the class sociogram. Observational anecdotes were used in the discussion of the sociometric results. The following findings resulted from the study. The gifted-creative students, as a group, ranked higher on a class sociogram on measures of friendship and choice of academic work partners than did the gifted group. On sociometric measures of choice of creative work partners, there was no significant ...

Childrearing Attitudes of Mexican-American Mothers Effects of Education of Mother
Date: December 1985
Creator: Allie, Elva Leticia Concha
Description: The purpose of this study was to identify childrearing attitudes of Mexican-American mothers with children ages three to five years of age. Specifically the first purpose of this study was to determine childrearing attitudes of Mexican-American mothers with ten years of education or fewer and Mexican-American mothers with eleven years of education or more as identified by the Parent As A Teacher Inventory (PAAT). The second purpose was to identify the relationship of the following demographic variables to childrearing attitudes: mother's age, mother's marital status, family income, sex of child, age of child, access to child, generational status, mother's language and mother's ethnicity. The PAAT and the Parent Information Questionnaire were administered to 112 Mexican-American mothers; 54 Mexican- American mothers with ten years of education or fewer and 58 Mexican-American mothers with eleven years of education or more. The population from which these subjects were drawn were mothers from Mexican-American communities in a North Texas county. Responses on the sample were analyzed using multivariate statistics. Based on the analysis of the data, the following conclusions seem tenable. 1. The Mexican-American mothers with eleven years of education or more have childrearing attitudes which are more positive than the Mexican-American mothers with ...

A Comparative Study of Children's Intensity of Task-Involvement in a Selected Nursery School
Date: August 1987
Creator: Roan, Bi-Sho
Description: The problem of this study was a comparison of young children's intensity of task—involvement in child—selected activities. A group of 23 children, four to six years of age, was selected as the subjects from a university affiliated child development laboratory school. These children were observed during child-selected activities for five consecutive weeks. The instrument utilized to collect the data was the Intensity Of Involvement Scale, composed of seven categories of intensity from "Unoccupied" to "Complete." To obtain reliable data, two observers were involved in the observation and a carefully planned procedure of observation was followed accurately. The comparison of children's intensity of task-involvement among child-selected activities, using statistical methods of mean and standard deviation, yielded a similar result among various groups of children. The learning centers in which children were involved most intensely were water play, family living, manipulative, and art centers. The children, however, were involved in the reading, block, and writing centers less intensely. In comparing children's intensity of task-involvement between age-groups and sex-groups, the analyses of two-way t-test revealed that age-differences were significant (p<.05) but sex-differences were not significant in children's overall intensity of task-involvement. Also, the results showed that the significance of differences in children's intensity ...

A Comparison Between the Interactions of Multi-Age Constant Caregiver Groups and Same-Age Multiple Caregiver Groups in Day Care Centers
Date: August 1979
Creator: McGauley, Diane P.
Description: Interactions of children and adults in two child care groups were observed and examined. Each group was observed as a same-age multiple caregiver group and eight months later as a multi-age constant caregiver group. Twenty indicators were used to evaluate positive interactions. Analysis showed positive interactions occur in multi-age constant caregiver groups. Multi-age constant caregiver groups enhance the interest of caregivers in children and promote development and interaction of language between caregivers and peers. This study indicates a multi-age constant caregiver group is an alternative to meet the needs of young children by increasing and enhancing positive interactions with caregivers and peers.

The Great Debate continued: Does daily writing in kindergarten lead to invented spelling and reading?
Date: May 2003
Creator: Pierce, Laura Boehl
Description: Many children in the United States cannot read on level by fourth grade. Traditionally, teachers have delayed reading instruction until first grade. However, involving children sooner in literary activities may provide skills needed to enable them to read on grade level. The purpose for this study was to determine the extent to which daily writing in kindergarten influences the development of invented spelling and learning to read. Five teachers modeled writing with 78 kindergarten children who wrote every day or almost every day for 20 weeks. There were 51 children in an experimental group, and 27 in a control group who were given a pretest and a posttest using the Observation Study (Clay, 1993). Results from a mixed model ANOVA indicated a significant difference between the control group and the experimental group on the Dictation Task F (1, 76) = 11.76, P≤ .001 and the Writing Test F (1, 76) = 4.33, P≤ .01. Results from a z-Test of dependent proportions indicated there were significant differences in the reading levels of the control group from the pretest to the posttest (z = 7.51, P ≥ .05) because (z = 7.51, Zcv = 1.96). The experimental group results from pretest to ...

Juvenile Justice Sentencing: Are There Alternatives?
Date: December 2000
Creator: Youngblood, Michelle K.
Description: Research indicates that states have implemented juvenile justice reforms to enact harsher punishments, to transfer greater numbers and younger juvenile offenders to adult criminal court, and to restrict discretion of the juvenile court judges. Social science studies have found that harsher punishments, transfers to adult criminal court and other measures do not work, but that comprehensive approaches which address the numerous major factors contributing to juvenile offending have been successful. This study examined the legal status of the juvenile justice system by focusing upon ten diverse sample states and analyzed the social science research on factors contributing to juvenile offending and on prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation approaches. The study was accomplished by legal research, qualitative social science research, and analysis of both. Findings indicated: a) state statutes require and allow adult punishment of juvenile offenders, transfer of juvenile offenders to adult criminal court, and direct filing of charges against juveniles in adult criminal court; most states begin these proceedings at age 14, some have no age minimum; b) social science research indicates numerous factors contribute to juvenile offending with most of the factors categorized into the major factors of early antisocial behavior, deviant peers, parents and family, sociomoral reasoning, biological ...

The (Mis)representation of the Middle East and Its People in K-8 Social Studies Textbooks: A Postcolonial Analysis
Date: May 2014
Creator: Salman, Rania Camille
Description: Critical examinations of cultural groups and the ways in which they are presented in schools are missing from current elementary and middle school curricula. Issues of this nature often fall under the umbrella of "multicultural education" or "cultural pedagogy," but this rhetoric is dismissive in nature. Constructing the non-Western child as "culturally deprived," "culturally disadvantaged," or "at-risk" perpetuates an "us/colonizer" versus "them/colonized" mentality. The purpose of this study was to examine critically how the Middle East and its people are represented in U.S. social studies textbooks. Through the use of qualitative content analysis, 10 elementary and middle school social studies books from Florida, Texas, and Virginia were analyzed. Drawing largely from the postcolonial Orientalist work of Edward Said (1978/2003), this study unveiled the ways in which American public schools other children, specifically children of Middle Eastern or Arab descent. Othering occurs anytime an institution in power constructs a certain reality for a marginalized group of people.

Parent, Student, and Faculty Satisfaction With and Support of Campus Laboratory School Programs
Date: May 2001
Creator: Seo, Hyunnam
Description: The primary purpose of the study was to investigate stakeholders' opinions concerning campus laboratory school program quality in three areas: (1) quality of teacher education, (2) research, and (3) childcare. There were 653 participants in the study: 246 parents whose children were enrolled in laboratory schools, 200 pre-service students who were taking early childhood or child development classes, and 207 faculty who were associated with campus laboratory schools. The study participants came from 122 campus children centers in the United States. These campus centers were members of either the National Coalition for Campus Children's Centers (NCCCC) or the National Organization of Laboratory Schools (NOLS). The first three research questions investigated whether parents, students, and faculty were satisfied with program quality. A one-way analysis of variance indicated a statistically significant mean difference between the three groups. The parents had a higher mean level of program quality satisfaction than students and faculty. The last three research questions investigated whether parents, students, and faculty supported the ongoing existence of campus laboratory school programs. Opinions were scaled from 1=not ever to 5=definitely. The overall mean ratings for Parents (4.54), students (4.18), and faculty (4.07) indicated that they supported the ongoing existence of campus laboratory ...

Parents' Beliefs and Knowledge Regarding Child Development and Appropriate Early Childhood Classroom Practices
Date: May 2000
Creator: Hughes, Tina M.
Description: The intent of this study was to assess low-income parents knowledge and beliefs regarding child development and appropriate classroom practice and to compare their responses with those obtained from a previous survey of upper-income parents (Grebe, 1998). This study group (N=21) consisted of parents or guardians with children in a federally subsidized child-care center. Results indicated a high level of knowledge regarding developmentally appropriate practice and child development. Overall, there were no significant differences in the knowledge between the two income-levels, however, responses to several questions revealed slight differences in beliefs.

Jaggar watershed is a constituent of the Gambhir river basin, in eastern Rajasthan and covers an area of 352.82 km2, representing arid climate. The drainage network is dendritic to sub-dendritic pattern however parallel to sub-parallel has also developed locally. The Jaggar watershed has been divided into fourteen sub-watersheds, designated as SW1 to SW14, for prioritization purpose. The prioritization of the sub-watersheds has been done on the basis of morphometric analysis and land use/land cover categories. Various morphometric parameters (linear and shape) have been determined for each sub-watershed and assigned rank on the basis of value/relationship with erodibility so as to arrive at a compound value for final ranking of the sub-watersheds. Land use/land cover mapping has been carried out using IRS LISS III data of 1998. Based on morphometric and land use/land cover analysis and their ranks, the subwatersheds have been classified into four categories as very high, high, medium and low in terms of priority for conservation and management of natural resources. The prioritization results based on morphometry reveal that only SW7 and SW10 fall under very high priority, whereas SW6, SW11 and SW13 fall under very high priority on the basis of land use/land cover analysis. However on the integration of morphometry and land use/land cover only SW14 show common priority whereas rest have little or no correlation.

Hi there,
Really loving the theme, I just wondered if anybody could help out with some CSS code for changing the font in the date box on posts?
I'm currently using Amatic SC for headers etc but would rather use raleway which is my body font for the date box, as it's easier to read?
Is there any css I can copy into the advanced settings CSS box? Also, if the theme updates, will I lose all my custom css changes in that box? Do I need to create a child theme?
Many thanks in advance,

Cast: Eric John, Lylith LaVey, Van Wylde, Jayden Jaymes, Ryan Driller, Karlo Karrera, Liza Del Sierra, Alison Tyler, Richie Calhoun, Bridgette B., Natasha Vega, Siri
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Big Bust, POV
"Fuck My Tits 7" is seven scenes of pure breast worship featuring the best boobs in the biz getting pressed together, fucked and smothered in lots of man sauce. Now tit-fucking fans have an entire movie devoted to their favorite fetish. Featuring a cast of well endowed beauties.
Big tits keep getting fucked in this nice POV release. The tease needs to be a bit longer on the lovelies here, and there's oral thrown in with the tit-fucking—this might bother jug purists—but this is a fine addition to your big mam section.
Stunning French beauty Liza Del Sierra gives sloppy head and some good handjob work to get her man going all over her lubed up jugs. Alison Tyler has creamy pale skin and a solid ability to work a cock well with her large, pretty boobs and her ball-sucking mouth. Tyler also has a prominent ass zit that director Carlos Dee left front and center during the intro tease. Sad.
Platinum blonde inked siren Lylith LaVey peels out of white lingerie and is all business giving head and chest. Natasha Vega likes to pull on her big nipples and uses her fists to work her supple tits well, and Bridgette B. sucks the dick and wraps her tits around it at the same time. Love those skills!

Widows Ministry

Adopt a Widow
Our elderly are the poorest of the poor. With the deflation of the local currency and the inflated prices of goods, their pensions from the government aren't enough for basic food and medicine. That is why Music Mission Kiev has been caring for widows and widowers for the last twenty years, bringing weekly food, Bible classes, medical assistance, and the love of Christ. Today we serve 400 widows, 100 of whom are homebound. For $50 a month, you can adopt a widow or widower and see that his or her needs are taken care of. Here are some of our widows who need your help.
Svetlana Telepneva
Maria Erko invited her to St.Paul's church. She found real joy, when became to know Christ and had a possibility to study the Bible. In the middle of life's calamities she met Christian friends, feel love and compassion.
Maria Dzigil
Her former colleague Lidia Velentey invited her to the church in April, 2015. She was born in the village,in the poor family. Mother alone had to take care about two children, and taught them to love God. Maria studied in the nurse school in Kiev and got married when she was 42. Later her husband died in car accident.
Vladimir Zhidko
Her friend, former choir member Dvornichen Miroslava invited him to the St. Paul's church. When he first came to the Bible classes he understood that his soul craved for God. He wanted to learn more about Christ, to pray and to worship the Lord. He remembers his poor childhood, when 3 families (3 women and 7 children) shared one apartment, without water, gas, sewerage.
We have many widows like Svetlana, Maria and Vladimir, looking for a sponsor. NEED SPONSOR Widows To sponsor them, or someone like them, call our Orlando office at 1-800-467-5051 Monday through Friday and ask for Ronnie. Payment can be made with Visa or Mastercard.

On this program you will hear stories about the early years in Ukraine, when Roger and Diane were called to move to Kiev in 1992. They came to present concerts of sacred masterpieces that had been forbidden under Communist rule, and it was like an "explosion of light" to musicians and audiences who loved classical music and were hungry for a spiritual message. However, in 1994 they established a church with the musicians, who wanted to know more about the Bibles they had received. Ninety-five people stood to receive Christ in the first worship service. Soon the congregation was taking food to desperately poor widows who had nothing to eat. It began with twenty widows, and now Music Mission Kiev serves more than 400, one hundred of whom are homebound. Today this church is called St. Paul's Evangelical Church, and Roger is the pastor.

SYDNEY Shane Warne has done it again.
One of the most successful slow bowlers of all time, Warne has consistently shown since his retirement from international cricket in 2007 that he is also the master of a different type of spin.
Two years ago, he had the Australian media in his thrall as he hinted at an international comeback in time to help Australia try and win back the Ashes from England.
This week again he said he could answer the call if his friend the Australia captain Michael Clarke asked him to don his baggy green cap for back-to-back series against England in 2013.
There is no doubting the 43-year-old's love for his country nor that he is constantly questioned about a possible return, but there is little doubt either that he knows how to guarantee back page headlines.
What could have been run-of-the-mill run up to his appearance in Australia's domestic Twenty20 "Big Bash" league, albeit against a team containing his fellow spin bowling great Muttiah Muralitharan, was transformed into a national debate.
The reality of what such a return would mean was laid bare when Cricket Australia said the man who took 708 test wickets - including 195 in 36 Ashes tests - would be expected to embark on a comeback in club and then first class cricket.
At a news conference on Thursday, the spin-bowling great "clarified" his earlier comments without quite shutting the door on a return.
"I'm not asking Michael Clarke. My quotes were all about if you ask me could I do it, I have no doubt that I could," Warne told a news conference on Thursday.
"But it's a big commitment. There's grade cricket, there's state cricket, you have to go through that process and hopefully get selected.
"For me it's nothing that I'm even considering.
"I'm bowling as good as I possibly have for the last five or six years. At this stage if you ask me do I want to make a comeback? No."
Part of Australia's problem has been that Warne, such a potent weapon in test cricket, has never been convincingly replaced.
Current test spinner Nathan Lyon, one of a dozen players to have been tried out in the role over the last six years, took 3-169 in the lost third test against South Africa earlier this week.
England will be going for a third successive Ashes triumph in the next European summer before heading to Australia for a second series around the end of the year. (Reporting by Nick Mulvenney, editing by Greg Stutchbury)

The Old World's New World
Published: July 15, 2001
(Page 2 of 3)
Like its cousins in Anaheim, Orlando and Tokyo, the Magic Kingdom at Disneyland Paris features five distinct zones. On first surveying the park map, I concluded that we could easily knock off the entire place in a day or at most two. I mentally built the case for an early departure for Paris, but soon found that Disneyland operates in a time frame all its own.
Let's say you aim for two attractions for the early morning. You spend a half-hour waiting in line for the first, and find that the walk to the second takes you past innumerable enticements, including myriad snack bars and gift shops, that demand an unplanned stop. The entire morning passes and you've experienced just one or two rides. Where did the time go?
The answer, all too often: waiting in line. For the most popular attractions, waiting times ran from 15 minutes to over an hour (in February!). I've never understood the theme park equation -- a 30-minute wait for a two-minute ride equals satisfaction -- but I heard no complaints in any language during our stay. A new system, FastPass, which has been installed in all Disney parks, helps considerably. At Disneyland Paris, FastPass is available for the five most popular attractions. Instead of waiting in line, you are assigned a time to return and can then walk right to the front of the line.
The attractions themselves were often so imaginative, unusual or downright terrifying that memories of waiting quickly faded. In Discoveryland, Jack and I eagerly tried out Space Mountain, a clone of the ride in Orlando and Anaheim. It's an indoor roller coaster cum space ship that launches riders with a loud bang and sends them careering around an indoor track in complete darkness. We were thoroughly frightened and nauseated and couldn't wait to try it again.
Equally appetite-suppressing was the Indiana Jones Temple of Peril (inexplicably, the same ride in Anaheim is called, more authentically, Temple of Doom). The stomach-churning inverted loop isn't the real draw -- it's the fact that the entire ride runs backward; you literally have no idea what's coming.
All four of us enjoyed the gentler rides. On the enchanting Peter Pan's Flight, we sat in a small pirate ship that floated out through the Darlings' nursery window to Never Never Land. In Pirates of the Caribbean, we boarded small barges to tour a wonderfully imagined world of pirates at play and in battle.
Phantom Manor, a haunted house in Frontierland, was also excellent; visitors huddle in carriages that move through the house past campy tableaus of ghost brides and other phantoms. ''Honey, I Shrunk the Audience'' is a 3-D movie that adds a few unexpected and delightfully gross touches, including the uncannily realistic impression that mice are crawling up your leg and an authentically moist sneeze from a giant dog.
Unfortunately, the food in the park wasn't nearly as creative as the attractions, though if the aim was to replicate the worst of American fast food, it succeeds beautifully. Hamburgers, hot dogs, nachos, chicken nuggets, French fries -- every time I ordered lunch, I found myself thinking: 3,500 miles to the world's culinary capital for this?
The fries were a particular disappointment. Usually a reliable glory of casual French cuisine, at Disneyland they were consistently tasteless and limp. Disneyland Paris publicity materials boast that the park served 28 million meals in 2000, as many as 150,000 a day during peak season, making it ''the largest restaurant in France.'' Quelle horreur!
The various hotels offered better alternatives (most of the upscale restaurants in the park itself were closed at night during February). We let the kids choose the restaurant our first night and ended up at Planet Hollywood in Disney Village, a neon fantasia just outside the park gates that includes a number of huge theme restaurants. We ate O.K. hamburgers beneath giant photos of Sly and Arnold and Demi and Whoopi.
The next night, Carole and I took control and had a good meal at the California Grill in the Disneyland Hotel, the only hotel adjacent to the park (the Davy Crockett Ranch is five miles from the park; the others are a 10-minute walk or a short shuttle bus ride away). The cuisine is neither California nor grilled, but the elegant décor and classic French food were a welcome respite. There's a kids menu, of course.
As residents of the Upper West Side, we were naturally eager to learn what was served in the Manhattan Restaurant. Bagels? Deli? Red clam chowder? Reasonably good classic French cuisine, it turned out, served in an attractive, if inaccurate, ground-floor homage to the Rainbow Room. There, as in all the Disneyland Paris restaurants, service was efficient and friendly, and even rambunctious American kids were made to feel not merely welcome but in charge.
After two days, Carole and I needed a break. We rented a car at the Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy train station, which is just outside the park and offers frequent service to Paris as well as much of Northern Europe (the superfast T.G.V. stops there). The four of us drove to Reims, which is about an hour away -- roughly the waiting time for some of the park's popular roller coasters. When we turned off the highway onto Reims's narrow streets lined with 18th-century houses, I realized what I'd been missing most since arriving in France three days earlier: France.

Of course it is coming. Thenews media just announced that they are bring 2 Americans that have the virus back here for treatment. Da.
I will just say every dooms day movie ever made started out with, somebody dropping a vile, getting cut, a tear in the suit, getting exposed and leaving the facility then exposing others.
My sarcastic side wants to say these two are getting more help and attention than Ambassador Stevens did.
My paranoid side tells me the global elitist are going to wipe out about 80% of Americans and illegals in a population purging of course along with a world wide out break leaving the elite to rule and the survivors as their property.
My true feelings i feel bad for all those infected since the kill rate is about 90% Do not like the fact of bringing them here. But think everything will be alright.
Welcome to the global economy (village, whatever). Can't have any border control, it's bad for business.
Seems to me they should have maybe taken the two people who contracted this deadly desease directly to Guantanamo, they have the best medical care on the planet. Quite a nice climate to recover in, great recreation areas, freedom of religion, lots to eat, any kind of menu you might require, a lot of orderlies to take care of all your wants and needs, air conditioned rooms, all the amenities that a recovering patient might need., and all payed for by the American taxpayer.
Hey we let the Tea party in so this sounds like a small thing to let in . One just as bad as the other .
Since the two health care workers are being transported into the US, it is here. We have adequate containment and quarantine procedures in this country to keep it in check, since it is a disease transported through bodily fluids. We should be far more afraid of the illegal aliens coming from Central America that can bring TB AND Hepatitis C.
Thanks ODumbo! Wait 'till the plague comes strolling through the Mexican border! Truly changing Amerika. We'll be Cuba pretty soon. Moron!
I don't for a minute think the ebola will be contained. It's only a matter of time until one of the workers in the facility where they're housed shows the signs and symptoms of ebola, and by the time it's recognized, it will be too late.
And the diseases the illegals bring with them are a threat, to be sure. How long until an illegal with ebola shows up?
It is hard to believe how high you can pile up hate .
It's called "Common Sense". I guess it just doesn't mesh with liberals' "White Guilt"!
