Yeah, but myself I don't care about "online" capabilities if its multiplayer and I can play with my friends at the house, 2 to 4 people. If it's a GOOD online multiplayer game and theres a problem with a hack then I would purchase the game no problem. Myself, I'm not really concerned with that part.

Novak Druce + Quigg LLP Adds Two Partners to Houston Office
Intellectual Property law firm Novak Druce + Quigg LLP has announced the addition of Henry (Hank) A. Petri and Janelle D. Waack, both previously partners with Howrey LLP. The addition of these attorneys, who will both work out of the firm's Houston office, will expand the firm's patent interference, litigation and licensing practices.
"The addition of these attorneys will greatly enhance our capabilities as a firm and their expertise will be of great value to our clients," said Gregory V. Novak, CEO and Managing Partner of Novak Druce + Quigg.
"Tracy and I have known and worked with Hank for over twenty years. He and I have litigated more than a half dozen patent cases together, always achieving favorable results for our clients. We look forward to working together again as a team and achieving results that exceed our past success for the clients. With Janelle we continue to build on that which our firm is particularly well known — highly specialized, litigation-driven patent practices like you find in our reexamination group.
With Janelle we now bring a nationally known specialist to lead our interference practice, which will team with our noted reexamination and reissue practices. Janelle will work particularly close with both our firm's Steve Marcus, who for more than a decade worked at the PTO training examiners and handling rule issues regarding interferences and reissues; and with Lissi Marquis, the first Director of the Patent Office's Central Reexamination Unit.
We are excited to have these highly respected individuals and we know our clients will appreciate the value these folks will add. We are very pleased to welcome Hank and Janelle to our team."
These attorneys join Novak Druce during a period of marked and continuing growth for the firm. In 2010, Novak Druce added 20 Partners, Associates and IP specialists.
Henry (Hank) A. Petri (Partner, Houston): Mr. Petri is a noted and well regarded national expert on complex intellectual property licensing and Federal Circuit appeals. His practice focuses on patent litigation licensing issues, preparation of summary judgment motions, appellate brief writing and appellate strategy. Mr. Petri holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Rice University and a J.D. from the University of Texas.
Janelle D. Waack (Partner, Houston): Ms. Waack is a known specialist in patent interference matters before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and also has significant experience with patent litigation and reexamination. Ms. Waack holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin and a J.D. from George Washington University Law School.

It was the eerie, teary confession watched around the world.
On June 24, 2009 - a scant five years ago - then-Gov. Mark Sanford broke down on national TV as he detailed his six-day unexplained absence and revealed his marital infidelity to the voters of South Carolina.
"I let down a lot of people," Sanford told a crowd of reporters, state employees and stunned onlookers during a hastily called news conference. "That's the bottom line."
Photographs from the day show him wiping tears from his eyes and cheeks - indelible images that were widely published on TV, in newspapers and via the Internet.
Half a decade later, now-U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford has been forgiven by many voters. The confession that put so much spotlight on him and the rest of South Carolina is a distant memory.
"I deal with the media in Washington," he said of the events of 2009. "It is not part of the conversation."
Back then, however, it was the only conversation.
For several days following the legislative session that year Sanford had been out of the public view. Media inquiries into his whereabouts were first met with hedging by his staff, followed by a story line that Sanford was off hiking the Appalachian Trail.
In reality, Sanford had left the country, flying to Argentina to meet with his then-mistress, a woman with whom he'd had a relationship for a year.
Upon returning to the United States, Sanford was met at the airport in Atlanta by a reporter from The (Columbia) State newspaper, quickly triggering his afternoon confession inside the cavernous first-floor lobby of the Statehouse.
"I'm a bottom-line kind of guy. It's going to hurt. I'm going to let the chips fall where they may," he said as he extensively detailed his affair with an Argentine woman, later identified as former television reporter Maria Belen Chapur. She is now his fiancee.
Sanford issued multiple apologies and pleas for forgiveness in the days and weeks that followed. While outrage came from several fronts, he survived the political fallout that followed to finish the remaining year-and-a-half of his term. His marriage to then-wife Jenny, however, ended in a quick divorce.
On the eve of the five-year anniversary of that news conference, Sanford spent part of Monday talking with members of the East Cooper Republican Women in Mount Pleasant. The visit was part of his habit of constituent drop-ins he's scheduled since being elected last year to his former 1st Congressional District seat. He returned to Washington after beating Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, carrying some 54 percent of the vote.
During an interview Monday, Sanford spoke of the power of forgiveness, bringing up the warm church outpouring he received Sunday following the recent death of his mother's husband.
"I've been blessed to experience human forgiveness and human grace and kindness," he said. "You can go down the list."
Some of those in attendance at Monday's GOP gathering said Sanford's conduct, while disappointing then, today falls into the category of forgive and forget. They point out the nation faces bigger problems than infidelity.
"I've forgiven the man," said Republican voter Rosemary Koch, who spoke at length with Sanford on Monday before he headed out for his return flight to Washington. "God certainly has forgiven him."
"He's a strong politician," Koch added. "We need to stick with the strong ones."

CHICAGO – Tomas Tatar's power play goal in overtime sent the Grand Rapids Griffins home with a 3-2 win Sunday over the Chicago Wolves.
Tatar's shot, off a pass from Chad Billins, from in front of the net capitalized on Griffins goalie Tom McCollum's strong save against the Wolves, who were penalized for interference 1:14 into the extra session.
The Griffins went on the attack and scored 44 seconds later to cap a stretch of three games in three days. Grand Rapids gave up 12 goals while dropping decisions at home to Charlotte and Rockford.
Tatar, who has registered a point in each of the past four games, helped Grand Rapids open the scoring Sunday, Oct. 28, by assisting on a goal by Nathan Paetsch 5:24 into the first period. The shot inside the left post marked the first time Chicago (5-2-1) trailed on its home ice.
The goal also started an exchange of scores by the Griffins (2-3-1-1) and Wolves in front of 3,813 at Allstate Arena. Paetsch's goal held up until the second period when Andrew Gordon scored on a 2-on-1 break 9:29 into the session.
The Griffins answered seven minutes later as Jeff Hoggan split the Chicago defense, pounded one of the post and then scored off of the rebound to give Grand Rapids a 2-1 edge.
But the Griffins penalty killing failures haunted them in the third period as Kevin Connauton beat McCollum on a shot that went left of the goal, bounced off the boards and McCollum's leg into the net with a little more than nine minutes remaining.
Grand Rapids managed to fend off two penalties to get into overtime. The Griffins outshot the Wolves 37-31 on the night, including a 3 to 1 advantage in overtime. McCollum made 29 saves to lead the Griffins to the win.
Grand Rapids is off until 8:30 p.m. Friday when it plays at San Antonio and the start of another stretch of three games in three days.

JCP names Engibous chairman of board, replacing Ullman, come end of January
January 10, 2012-- Home Textiles Today,
Plano, Texas -- JCPenney Company Inc. has appointed J. Engibous as chairman of its board of directors, effective Jan. 28.
Engibous will assume the chairman's role from Myron (Mike) Ullman III, JCP's former ceo who will step down as executive chairman.
Engibous first joined JCP's board in 1999, and served in presiding director and lead independent director roles since 2008. He is the retired chairman of Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) - where he started in 1976 and went on to become its president and ceo from 1996 through 2004.
In addition to JCPenney, Engibous is a director of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited.
Ron Johnson, JCP's ceo, described Engibous as "deeply committed to the success of the company," and "shares our vision for the future and has been invaluable to me in my early days leading JCP. His guidance will continue to be of great help as we build JCPenney into America's favorite store."
Engibous noted that, "important work is underway at JCPenney to transform the company by delivering a new level of innovation, creativity and excitement to customers. I look forward to working closely with Ron, management and the board to help ensure the success of the company's plans and drive shareholder value."
"On behalf of the board," Engibous added, "I would like to thank Mike Ullman for his years of exceptional service to JCPenney. The changes now underway would not have been possible without his accomplishments, including a strong succession planning process. It was an honor to work with Mike, and we wish him continued success in the years to come."

What Sandra Fluke actually said
March 19, 2012 - Jim Anderson
Again, Bill O'Reilly offers an odd opinion piece in Monday's (March 19) Daily News ("The Fix is In.")
In discussing the "dustup over Sandra Fluke," O'Reilly claims the national media is ignoring the facts. Fluke, he says, is a law student who claims she's having a rough time paying for birth control pills, even though the pills (in his mind) are easily affordable.
"She wants the feds to pick up the tab through mandated insurance benefits even though the pills cost about $9 a month at places like Wal-Mart, and are distributed free at health clinics under Title Ten legislation."
Further, O'Reilly writes, the national media is presenting Fluke as "a victim of a cruel system that wants to unduly burden American women."
I've attached a transcript of Fluke's congressional testimony at right.
As a member of Law Students for Reproductive Justice, Fluke talked almost entirely about the experiences of other women — not herself. She cited a number of examples of women who, for a variety of reasons, have been adversely affected by a lack of coverage.
She also says this:
"You might respond that contraception is accessible in lots of other ways. Unfortunately, that's not true. Women's health clinics provide vital medical services, but as the Guttmacher Institute has documented, clinics are unable to meet the crushing demand for these services. Clinics are closing and women are being forced to go without. How can Congress consider the Fortenberry, Rubio, and Blunt legislation that would allow even more employers and institutions to refuse contraceptive coverage and then respond that the non-profit clinics should step up to take care of the resulting medical crisis, particularly when so many legislators are attempting to defund those very same clinics?"
O'Reilly claims the national media is biased in its coverage of Fluke's testimony, yet his own summary of her presentation appears narrow and misleading. Just as he did in his March 12 item on the same subject, he ignores the fact that birth control medication has other uses relating to health and reproduction aside from preventing pregnancy.
It would be fair, yes, to debate the situations Fluke presented in her testimony.
But O'Reilly, for whatever reason, chooses to make his argument personal and flippant.
There's also this statement from O'Reilly:
"Of course, Fluke was handed an enormous gift by Rush Limbaugh when he made demeaning comments about her."
Whoa. How is that again? Demeaning comments are an enormous gift?
Odd. Very odd.

Chiprovtsi Things to Do
The school of the colours.
If you enter Chiprovtsi on the way from Sofia (Vratsa, Montana) one of the first buildings that would attract your attention is the school. Nothing special in its architecture – just a normal school building with a yard and a statue in front. In the past, this was one of the famous carpets weaving professional schools in Bulgaria. Nowadays (since 2004) the building serves to both primary and secondary schools due to the lack of children in the town. Happily the old tradition of carpet weaving here is well preserved in the weaving rooms. If you were lucky to get in there you would be inspired by the atmosphere filled with traditional symbols and works. At the chemistry cabinet we did our Natural dyeing training in 2004 and 2005 summers. You wouldn't believe what colours one could get from several regular herbs!
The school was named after Petar Parchevich (1612 – 1674) – one of the most famous Chiprovtsi people who dedicate his life to the liberation of the region. Aliosha Kafedgiiski, Chiprovtsi artist made his sculpture - you could see it at the school's yard.Related to:

300 years anniversary
The huge massive statue (author Marko Markov) at the town centre was built in 1988 - the same year as the marble square. The whole square composition is a monument of the Chiprovtsi rebelion, built on the occasion of 300 years anniversary. This include not only the monument and the pavement, but also the building of the Municipality and the Cultural house. The relief on its face depicts the Chiprovtsi rebels. Valentin Starchev and Krum Damianov are the name of the artists who made it.
On the main square you will find the main bus stop for Montana, Vratsa and Sofia; several food shops, the Chiprovtsi internet club (on the back of the Municipality) and Doctor's Iordanov cafe (very nice place!).Related to:

A strange monument of a heroic...
The region was active long ago before the establishment of the empire and this continued through the years. There are many small and not so rebellions during the years of the Ottoman Empire. Being Catholics the people of Chiprovtsi have visited Austria, Venice, Toskana, Poland and other western European countries many times asking for help. Due to different reasons this help never come.
The Polish war against the Ottoman Empire was the sign Chiprovtsi people have been waiting for. In 1868 the rebellion happened. Even not as strong as before, the state army succeeded to take the region back. Many people have been murdered and nothing left in the whole region after. Several decades after there were no any settlements there.
The life started again after 1738, when the Sultan issued a general pardon and restored the property to the survived local people.
There were several battles and small rebellions till the independence, which for that region of Bulgaria come in 1877.Related to:

Chiprovtsi Warnings and Dangers
There is No Mountain Rescue service in...
There is No Mountain Rescue service in the area!!! Local people are used to the nature and the way they evaluate the risks and injures is different than the western one. We had an accident there. Happily everything finished more-less fine, thanks to the efforts and help of the local Doctor Iordanov and Montana Emergency Medical Service.Related to:

Yes, it is - it is full with fleas! And nothing could help! I stay for a week with several well prepared foreigners there, but nothing helped. We were spotted like Martians all the time we've been there and a bit after…
Goats are filling all the streets morning and evening, but this magic has its own consequences.

The hidden beauty - Chiprovtsi...
Chiprovtsi waterfall is one of the Nature beauties in the area you shouldn't miss!
There is a comfortable 'black' road heading south of Chiprovtsi, which would lead you to a meadow with a spring on it. Good place to rest situated somewhere about the middle of the whole way's length. The same road continues a bit later and then turns into a mountain trail. It passes through a deciduous forest and crosses the Stara Reka River several times. New beautiful wooden bridges have been built recently.
The trail is not well marked and it's recommendable to have a local friend/guide with you. But be careful! Never rely on them if you would like to know how far away is the waterfall – all the time it's "20 minutes", and as the simple logic shows this is rarely true… From the town of Chiprovtsi to the waterfall itself it took about 3 hours walking.

PERTH AMBOY — Jessica Ambrose and Holly Christensen led the way Tuesday afternoon as Hunterdon Central High's girls swim team sped past Morristown 126-44 in the semifinals of the NJSIAA State Public A tournament at the Raritan Bay Area YMCA.
Ambrose and Christensen each won two individual events. Ambrose took the 100-yard butterfly (1:03.46) and 100 breaststroke (1:09.8) while Christensen was first in the 50 freestyle (24.67) and 100 free (53.43).
The win puts Hunterdon Central in the state final for the second straight year as the Red Devils will take on Skyland Conference rival and Montgomery for the State Public A title 10:30 a.m. Sunday at The College of New Jersey in Ewing Township. In 2013 Westfield edged Central for the championship.
"This was really exciting for me today," said Ambrose following her performance. "I don't usually compete in the 100 fly so to win both races is something that makes me very proud. Anything that helps the team gain points."
Ambrose and Christensen played roles in the relay victories as well. Ambrose, Megan Dodge, Kirstin Peterson and Ana White took first in the 400 free relay (3:56.08) and Christensen was a member of the 200 free relay (1:42.31) with Dodge, Jane Higley and White.
Ambrose and Christensen joined Julia Herman and Peterson for the 200 medley relay win (1:53.44).
Alison Herman turned in a big performance as well, winning the 200 individual medley (2:18.17) and 500 free (1:03.46), while White won the 200 free in 2:03.78.
"Alison is a freshman and she's been a very versatile performer for us all season," said HCHS Head Coach Mike Aversano. "Kirstin is another one who's really contributed. She's been a very key part of our relay effort the whole season."
Hunterdon Central swept through its meet against Morristown by winning all but one race, the 100 backstroke, captured by Bianca Karpinski (1:04.5).
"The meet after a win in a big meet, like the one we had against Westfield, is always a tricky thing," said Aversano, referring to Central's startling upset of WHS in the sectional final four days earlier. "You never know for sure how the girls are going to come out. Are they going to swim to their best or just be good enough to get by?
"We didn't know a whole lot about Morristown, either. We knew they were a very good team, good enough to get this far, but we didn't have much to draw upon. Listen, obviously they weren't as good as Westfield, but they are a good solid team and our girls got the job done."
In Montgomery, Central will be facing a team that's making its first finals appearance since 2004 when it won the State B title. HCHS defeated Montgomery107-63 in a regular-season meet Jan. 16 at Raritan Valley Community College in North Branch.
"We're really going to give it our all and hope for the best," said Ambrose of the rematch. "We're all pretty excited to swim against Montgomery. We know from having raced against them earlier this year they have tons of talent on that team."

EVANSVILLE, (Ind.) -- The Atlas World Group (AWG) Board of Directors have named Walter E. Saubert future chairman and CEO. Saubert, CEO of Red Ball Corporation, will succeed current AWG chairman and CEO Norman D. Gee. Gee announced today that he will retire at the end of 1996. Michael L. Shaffer has also been promoted to president and COO of Atlas Van Lines, Inc., a newly created position with AWG's largest subsidiary.
Starting October 1, Saubert will serve as chairman-elect and CEO-elect, assuming full responsibility on January 1, 1997 when Gee's retirement is official. Shaffer will become Atlas' president and COO on October 1.
In commenting about the Board's actions, Gee said "the challenges facing the moving industry in the next decade will require extraordinary leadership. The combined experience and leadership abilities of these two men will ensure the continued success of Atlas World Group and Atlas Van Lines. Between them, they represent over 50 years of industry experience. It's reassuring to know that I will be leaving this company in the hands of such talented and seasoned professionals."
With twenty-seven years of experience in the household goods moving industry, Saubert joined American Red Ball International in 1972, rising through the ranks to become vice president and general manager in 1983. In 1985, Saubert, along with two other executives, formed Red Ball Corporation and acquired American Red Ball International, American Red Ball Transit, and the moving and storage division. Saubert was named CEO in 1989 when he acquired a controlling interest in Red Ball Corporation. Atlas World Group, Inc. acquired Red Ball Corporation from Saubert in May of this year.
A native of Seattle, Wash., Saubert studied economics at the University of Washington. He was a member of the U.S. Marine Corps from 1965 - 1968, serving in Vietnam. Saubert and his wife, Alicejo, will be establishing residence in Evansville.
Michael L. Shaffer began building his career with Atlas in 1969 as a dispatcher and was then promoted to assignments in Evansville, Ind., Long Beach, Calif., and the Washington, DC area. In 1983, he was promoted to vice president and general manager of Atlas Van Lines of Texas, based in Austin. One year later, he relocated back to Evansville where he assumed the position of vice president, operations. Following a major functional realignment of the company in 1991, Shaffer was promoted to president of the household goods division of Atlas.
A native of Anchorage, Alaska, Shaffer learned about moving firsthand, as evidenced by his attending eleven different schools by the twelfth grade. Before joining Atlas, Shaffer spent three years in the petroleum exploration business on Alaska's North Slope after an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army in 1966, having served in Vietnam.
Norman D. Gee began his impressive career in 1960. He held a variety of positions within the transportation industry, from controller to vice president of accounting, before joining Atlas in 1979 as vice president, finance and treasurer. Gee was instrumental in leading the charge toward agent-acquisition of Atlas in 1989. He was elected chairman and chief executive officer of Atlas World Group in 1991.
Atlas World Group, Inc., with its headquarters in Evansville, Indiana, was formed in 1994 as the holding company for Atlas Van Lines. Atlas Van Lines, the largest subsidiary of AWG, is a major transporter of household goods and special products through some 600 agents across the U.S. and Canada, and over 800 worldwide.
Anticipated annual consolidated revenues for Atlas World Group, following the acquisition of Red Ball Corporation, are expected to be in excess of $400 million.

It's been six years since two men robbed two teens in Allentown and raped one of the victims behind a house.
And while one man has been charged in connection with the crimes, Michael Arce Jr. is still awaiting trial as the case has been "mired" in a legal battle over DNA testing, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Arce was first arrested for kidnapping a Bethlehem jogger at gunpoint in 2011.
Arce pleaded guilty in that case and is currently serving a five- to 12-year sentence in state prison. But after the conviction, a DNA sample from Arce matched a rape kit sample done following the 2008 Allentown crime.
Police say that on Aug. 25, 2008, Arce, of Bethlehem, and an unidentified accomplice robbed a 16-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy at gunpoint in the area of Fourth and Allen streets. Afterward, Arce and his accomplice both raped the girl behind a house before fleeing, authorities say.
Authorities charged Arce in December 2012 with rape, two counts of robbery, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault and indecent assault charges.
Attorneys in the case were in Lehigh County Court on Wednesday to discuss evidence requests made by defense attorney Robert Long. Arce was not in court; he requested not to be brought back to the county unless he was needed for the hearing.
"We've been mired in discovery," Chief Deputy District Attorney Matt Falk said. "DNA stuff."
Long had asked Pennsylvania State Police for a number of records related to their DNA search of the rape kit and with Arce's sample, including all search results the rape kit sample received from the Combined DNA Index System, called CODIS.
State police redacted a list of other possible matches to the rape kit sample and Long requested it.
Falk said state police were instructed by the FBI not to provide the information, or the state lab could face potential expulsion as a participating lab in the CODIS system.
"They're not going to comply with it," Falk said.
Long countered that the FBI's own website on CODIS says that search results are provided and he should have access to the other possible matches. Long will file a formal request for the information to be decided by Judge James Anthony.
Falk said once the issue is decided and Long's DNA expert can complete his report, they can schedule a trial date.
Sarah Brenner was jogging in West Bethlehem when Arce forced her at gunpoint into the backseat of his car. She escaped when his wife pulled up beside them and asked her husband what he was doing.

What Happens to Your Blog when you Die?
Have you ever thought of what happens to your blog if you're finally no more? All of us here want to get to heaven and the one way visa to heaven is when you die. That is one true for sure but the issue of death sends chill down the spine of many.
It is rarely discussed but let us face the fact, are you going to live forever? I simply doubt that. The sixth feet grave is the final destinations for all mortals and after that, judgments. There seem to be all kinds of analogies towards the judgment as various religious groups have all sorts of meanings into it but as that is something which isn't for discussion today, let them continue with those arguments.
The main thing on board is this; what happens to your blog when you die? Let me repeat myself once more, have you ever thought of it? Some might as well be asking me why this post?
I have being blogging for some time now. I don't know whether to say this or not but I think it will be appropriate to link this to the post.
I have being blogging for some time now and to be honest with you, I have made lots of blogging paddies. During my early days of blogging, I thought all bloggers were all of my age but I was wrong. There are indeed married men and women in this blogosphere. I came across this 59 year old who was very grateful for me being the first person to comment on his blog.
He sent me a direct email and that was really heart touching. We became friends as usual but as time went on, forgot each other. I was shocked when I recently received an email from this guy who claims his father was Mr.….. and that his dad wants me to help him to continue with his blog.
He sent the email with his dad's email address and that made me curious. But upon continuing reading of the email to the latter, it became evident that the man has passed on. He is no more.
May his soul rest in perfect peace. His blog has being willed to his son. What about yours? What happens to your blog when you finally pass away? Is your blog going to die with you as well?
Why not go the Darren Rowse of problogger.net whose blog is the main stay of his life. His blog feeds his family and so in order for his blog to continue to live even after his death; he has started training his daughter to fill his shoes.
Look at some of his arrangements in place for his daughter in case of anything;
- Contact details for partners – I have a number of blog partners that would be able to help her navigate some of the logistics of managing my blogs
- Contact details for trusted other bloggers – a few others who know enough to be useful
- Passwords and Contact details for Advertising Programs and Affiliate Programs – to be able to access and manage income
- Contact details of bloggers who work for me – a number of my blogs are written these days by others.
- Contact details for web hosts – without these the blogs fall over and income disappears
- Passwords for Paypal accounts
- Backup details – for blogs and computers
- Blog and hosting passwords – to give her (or those who help her) access
- Instructions on what to do – a few notes on what I would suggest she does. Which blogs she could sell (and who could help her sell them), which to allow to run (and who to write on them), what my agreements are with different people etc
I'm also going to give V some blog lessons in the coming months and be more intentional in talking to her about the day to day running of my work so that it isn't a completely foreign thing to her
The question therefore is; how smart are you? Do have any plan in mind? Or maybe, you think you're too young to die? I know I have being harsh but let face reality; don't the green leaves and the brown leaves all fall from the tree? A word to the wise they say is enough. That was my favourite teacher's quote and he is no more as well.
Your Turn
It is your turn to have your say as well. Let the world hear what you have to say by commenting below. What to you is your plan? Do you any at all? Or maybe just like many including myself before the realization of this is yet to find one.
What you make of this post is very well welcomed.

|2001: They cut down the tree! While I was on holiday, workmen cut down the tree the birds were nesting in (unfortunately it was diseased), so that is where the story ends.
In Autumn 1997 (Autumn in Australia is the months March-May) I noticed two Galahs (Cacatua roseicapilla) pecking away at a tree outside my office window. Then in late June/early July they started nesting, pecking away at the tree to create a deep hole. I have set up a video camera to capture some shots of them and there is also some movie files to see them in action.
In early August through to early September 1997 they were mating. This was repeated in August over the next 2 years. In early January 1998 I saw the baby Galah; after that, the Galah's abandoned their nest and on the morning of February 25, 1998 I saw a possum checking it out. It didn't hang around though.
On the morning of October 9th 1997, I observed a pair of rainbow lorikeets (trichoglussus haematodus) checking out the Galah's home (the Galahs were not to be seen). They are a magnificent looking bird with bright colouring. I recommend that you take a look at the page showing picture of this visit (there is about 69k of images on this page). The Galahs returned about an hour later, having completely missed their visitors.
Several times in August 1998 the Lorikeets were back, and this time they were sprung by the Galahs. They came with several of their friends one time and the two poor Galahs had a terrible time trying to chase away six Lorikeets! Since that time the Lorikeets have been consistently, with about 20 of them descending on mass one morning!

|This is some footage I'm really proud of. I decided to zoom in to the bird's hole from a wide shot, and as I had zoomed in, both birds decided to come out of the hole. Talk about timing! [mpeg - 4.7Mb]

Syracuse, NY - A North Syracuse man was indicted today on burglary and assault charges in a bizarre attack on a 12-year-old boy in a Mattydale apartment last September.
Scott Miles, 35, of 124 Wilshire Drive, was indicted on two counts of first-degree burglary and single counts of second-degree assault, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and failure to register his Internet identity.
He is accused of violently attacking 12-year-old Louis Hart Jr. while the youngster was sleeping in his mother's bed in their apartment on Enders Drive in Mattydale between 5 and 6 a.m. Sept. 22.
Miles is accused of attacking the boy with a pool cue. Although officials said the boy suffered life-threatening injuries, he was able to make his way to a relative's home several blocks away to report the attack.
Miles was arrested in January after Hart saw his picture on Facebook and recognized him as the assailant, according to Assistant District Attorney Michael Kasmarek.
Kasmarek said the Dawn Lopergolo, the boy's mother, was chatting with Miles on the Internet when the youngster saw Miles' picture and recognized him as the attacker.
Officials have admitted being baffled by the incident, noting Miles may have actually been targeting the boy's mother when the crime occurred.
Miles, a registered sex offender, also is accused of failing to register his Internet identity with authorities since December.
He could face a maximum penalty of 25 years in state prison if convicted of the most serious burglary charges accusing him of attacking the child during the break-in at the apartment.

The 29-year-old sports a kind of laid-back Rat Pack chic, reflected especially in his choice of hats. Still, he doesn't wear them for style points; as an Orthodox Jew, the haberdashery is required.
"But if I have to cover my head, if I can be trendy, even better," said a smiling Foreman, who the other day took time out from training for his June 5 title defense against Miguel Cotto to give pointers to over 30 fledgling fighters at DeMarco's Gym in Tottenville.
If you think Foreman is flippant about his religion, think again: The Belarus-born Foreman, who emigrated to Israel at age 7, is actually in his fourth year of a six-year program to become a rabbi, studying under renowned Rabbi Dov Ber Pinson at Iyyun Yeshiva in Foreman's new hometown of Brooklyn.
While the religious angle has hooked in the likes of "The Jimmy Kimmel Show" and "ESPN 360" for TV segments on the boxer, it's the hooks Foreman has thrown inside the ropes that has quickly turned him into one of the sport's standouts.
Foreman compiled a 75-5 amateur record, including a New York Golden Gloves title in 2001, before turning pro in 2002. Five years later, he was fighting at Madison Square Garden, and last November, he took a 12-round unanimous decision from Daniel Santos to become Israel's first world champ.
Instead of scheduling a tomato can for his first defense, Foreman is taking on an established star in Cotto. And he's fighting the Puerto Rican icon in Yankee Stadium -- the first boxing card at the new ballpark -- where the Hispanic community is sure to turn out in force for Cotto.
Fans on hand at DeMarco's, however, leaned toward Foreman.
"I think he has an excellent chance to win," said trainer Tommy Dades, who, along with Pat Russo, formed the Cops 'N Kids program after the Police Athletic League stopped funding its boxing clubs in the city. Recently, the Atlas Foundation joined with Cops 'N Kids to solidify the program, which has helped hundreds of youngsters.
"You look at Yuri and he looks like an actor or a model," added Russo. "You wouldn't think he's a killer in the ring. I think he's going to win."
Foreman's appearance at DeMarco's was set up through the New York office of the Consulate General of Israel, which heard about the good work the Atlas Foundation/Cops 'N Kids program was doing."We're glad to join Yuri Foreman once again in giving back," said Joel Lion, Consul for Media at the Israeli Consulate. "Yuri has taught us that being a world champion isn't just a title but a responsibility."
"It's great to see so many young faces," Foreman told the aspiring pugilists. "This is a great sport, but it requires a lot of dedication inside and outside the ring. You have to be a responsible person. We all have dreams, and it's always important to pursue them. Never give up on your dreams."
After his speech, Foreman quickly conducted a series of drills with the teens, taken from his own training regimen. Wearing punch mitts, Foreman had the youngsters fire their best shots at him, before supervising others during 30-second, high-intensity sessions on the heavy bags.
"The easiest defense is to make your opponent miss," said Foreman. "The greatest weapon you can have in the ring is your brain. Read your opponent; read their body language."
"It's important to have someone like him to look up to," said 14-year-old Anthony DeMonte of Tottenville, who received some one-on-one instruction from Foreman, who brought his championship belt with him as a reminder to the kids of what's possible through hard work.
"It's great to work out with a real pro," added Pat Russo's 14-year-old boxer son Frank of Tottenville. "He showed me to keep on moving forward when I'm punching."
With Foreman, moving forward seems to be the only direction he knows.

Cicero, N.Y. -- Cicero firefighter James Snell was responding to a report that someone had stopped breathing when he learned the name of the patient.
It was a former neighbor with a history of heart problems. Snell realized a friend could be on the verge of death.
When he and four other firefighters arrived and raced up the stairs of the Cordero Drive house on Feb. 24 they found Kurt Wossner in the bedroom unconscious and without a pulse.
They realized he'd gone into cardiac arrest. The likelihood of saving a person in cardiac arrest is about 10 percent without immediate intervention, Cicero Fire Chief Jon Barrett said.
The responders began performing CPR. They administered a shock through a defibrillator and performed a second round of CPR.
Then they checked Wossner's pulse again. It had come back.
"It was great, it was joy. Hopefully, hopefully everything was going to pull through," Snell said of his thoughts at the time. "Not relieved yet, but it's a good thing: 'Okay, he has a chance.'"
Wossner would survive. At a ceremony on Oct. 19, Snell received a lifesaving pin award from the Cicero Fire Department for helping save a life.
Wossner was resting at home after suffering a heart attack the week before. His son noticed his erratic breathing around 7 a.m. and called 911, saying he'd become unconscious. Wossner had gone into full arrest by the time emergency personnel arrived.
Snell said the work of the other emergency responders was critical in saving Wossner's life.
"Everyone on the team was absolutely amazing," Snell said. "100 percent team effort."
Snell visited Wossner in the hospital the next day: Wossner was still unconscious, but breathing normally. A couple weeks later, Snell went back to the hospital and found that Wossner was alert and talking.
Snell said he's thankful that he was able to help. In fifteen years of working as an emergency responder, he has only seen four patients survive after going into cardiac arrest.
Also involved in the rescue effort were firefighters Les Eastwood, Mark Bedigian, Shawn Shippers, David Vivenzio and Ron Barling.

By Greg McNeil - Cape Breton Post
BADDECK — The much publicized dispute over boating safety regulations between the operators of the Kidston Island ferry and the federal government have apparently been a boon to the ferry service.
© Greg McNeil - Cape Breton Post
The lighthouse at Kidston Island reflects into a nearby lagoon during a summer day.
The Baddeck Lions Club, operators of the service from the Baddeck Wharf to the small island near the harbour, are reporting large numbers of people taking the short boat ride to the scenic summer destination in recent weeks.
"There are more people using it. The media has a real impact for us," said Dan Chiasson, a Lions Club member.
"For instance, on Canada Day the island boat used to be a second thing because we have so many activities on the water front for kids. But this year I noticed as we were working on games that the island boat was full to capacity coming and going all day long. This is a lot of people from out of town. They must have heard about it and took it over."
Chiasson said many other positive responses have been sent the club's way from as far away as Sydney from those who have also used the service this summer.
The Lions Club has run the ferry for the past 61 years, but members feared they'd have to end the service because it couldn't comply with new Transport Canada safety regulations.
Chiasson said three years of work with a lot of co-operation from Transport Canada offices in Sydney and Ottawa and assistance from Sydney-Victoria MP Mark Eyking and MLA Keith Bain resulted in an acceptable resolution for all parties.
Eyking was among the new passengers to use the service for the first time this week, after accepted an invitation from the Lions Club to tour the island.
"To see all these people over here enjoying this island and seeing the work the Lion's Club did is magical," Eyking said during the tour.
"It's a magical spot and I have to commend the Lions Club and everyone who helped put this together and some of my colleagues in Ottawa who helped make this happen."
While touring Kidston Island, Eyking walked the beach, and enjoyed one of the nearby hiking trails.
He was especially impressed with the end of one trail that gave him an impressive view of the Bras d'Or Lake, Boularderie Island, Boisdale and Washabuck.
The MP is glad others will get to enjoy the island for years to come, too.
"The regulations were not for this type of vessel. It was for other vessels. We all believe in safety, but it was just over the top. It's a great feeling to see this and for the community and Cape Bretoners."
Potential problems for the service were news to Allan Silverman, a Sylvan Lake, Alberta native who was visiting Kidston Island for the fifth time, but he's glad he'll be able to bring his family back again and again.
"I kind of heard a little bit on my trip over here," said Zimmerman who is married to a woman from New Waterford.
"It would be a tragedy if you couldn't enjoy something like this especially on a day like today where the kids get to enjoy it."
The transport between Baddeck and Kidston Island recently passed a significant and final hurdle when it successfully completed a Transport Canada buoyancy test.
As a result it can now continue for five consecutive years of uninterrupted tours.
"That is not an unreasonable amount of time," said Chiasson.
"Things can happen in five years. Technology can change, there can be all sorts of things, but we have a program as a result of the process that we have gone through which is a safer program than we had before and it is a very fair and adequate response to the needs to safely transport our guests back and forth from Kidston Island."

Results from an analysis of Europa's ultraviolet photometric parameters based on data from Galileo, Hubble Space Telescope Faint Object Spectrograph (HST/FOS) and International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) are presented. Rotational phase curves for wavelengths between 250 and 320 nm based on the disk-integrated data set display a brightness variation with longitude similar to that seen in the visible. Hapke modeling of the disk-integrated solar phase curve for the global data set, as well as the individual leading, trailing, jovian and anti-jovian hemispheres provides an understanding of large-scale variations in photometric properties. The disk-resolved data set, consisting entirely of data from the Galileo Ultraviolet Spectrometer, is used to uniquely constrain the disk-integrated modeling results. Variations in photometric properties, such as single-scattering albedo, single particle scattering function, surface roughness and grain size vs. porosity are presented. The disk-resolved data set is also used to determine the photometric properties of terrain types such as bright plains and dark mottled terrain. These results are interpreted based on knowledge of Europa's charged particle environment and variations in composition and geologic features across the surface, to provide a greater understanding of the effects on surface structure. These are the first UV Hapke photometric parameters to be derived for any solar system object. The results are compared with visible photometric parameters derived using Voyager and ground-based observations to gain insight into the effects of surface scattering vs. volume scattering on an icy object.

We present BVI CCD photometry of over 50,000 stars in the globular cluster M5, including a calibrated color-magnitude diagram. Two aspects of the data are especially noteworthy. First, the large field of view of the data (16' by 16' centered on the cluster) allows us to examine the cluster's stellar sample for radial trends. We specifically examine the radial distribution of blue stragglers in the cluster out to a radius of 8' in order to constrain possible formation mechanisms. Second, the frames were exposed so as to capture stars from above the horizontal branch to more than 2 magnitudes below the main-sequence turnoff in all frames. This allows us to minutely examine the luminosity function in the vicinity of the subgiant branch for excesses of stars relative to canonical stellar evolutionary theory that have been seen in other clusters.

Nelson Benton, 25, the New Orleans man freed of murder charges by a jury last week, failed to appear at court Thursday to answer a newly filed charge of attempted murder.
"Was he served to be here?" Judge Ben Willard asked prosecutors, who said that he hadn't been subpoenaed.
"Serve him and bring him," said Willard, who signed a bench warrant for Benton on Tuesday on prosecutors' specific request.
It was unclear Thursday morning if Benton's defense team from the murder case was still representing him.
But attorney Perman Glenn III, of Springfield, Mass., who was court-appointed to represent Benton in 2006 as part of the "Hurricane Katrina Backlog Project," fired off a statement Wednesday about Benton's new charge.
"The district attorney's office should stop wasting time and money filing charges against citizens based on flimsy evidence and sloppy police work," Glenn wrote.
Glenn, who started representing Benton when he was facing the death penalty on a capital murder charge -- Orleans District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro's team last year reduced it to second-degree murder -- said his firm is considering filing a federal civil rights violation lawsuit against the New Orleans Police Department and the DA's office.
"We would seek one million dollars per year that Mr. Benton was unjustly incarcerated and, in addition, a ten million dollar punitive award," Glenn wrote. Police and prosecutors are "continuing to harass Mr. Benton," Glenn added. "He is trying to pick up the pieces of his life."
Benton on Friday night was acquitted of a 2006 murder charge, after spending four years in jail awaiting trial for the killing of 29-year-old Antoinette Mosley in the 7th Ward.
The jury unanimously rejected the state's case, even after hearing a woman testify that, in an unrelated incident, she believes Benton inadvertently wounded her with gunfire from an assault rifle.
Both cases date back to 2006.
District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro's office decided to go after Benton on attempted murder, filling a charge Monday at Criminal District Court.
In May 2006, Benton was booked with attempted murder, but never charged. Instead, he was "701-released," meaning that time ran out for prosecutors to hold him in jail without an indictment.
Benton appeared at the Tulane Avenue courthouse Tuesday and, for a time, was handcuffed and seated in Judge Laurie White's courtroom -- the same place where he had spent a week-long trial before being acquitted Friday night.
White accused prosecutors of misconduct in trying to detain Benton, releasing the suspect and having a prosecutor, Brigid Collins, arrested and deemed in contempt of court.

MB Toronto
Morning Brew: TTC bus saga rumbles on, stats reveal Ford's attendance, city fluffs veteran's proclamation, the lost Kormann House condo, and a vintage Toronto map
So that clears that up. Rob Ford didn't call for a TTC shelter bus as previously reported: it was the cops. At a press conference yesterday Superintendent Ron Taverner said the vehicle request came from Toronto police who were concerned about a fight brewing between the two football teams. Ford did, however, call TTC CEO Andy Byford's cell to hurry things along.
Byford asks that Ford kindly not call him in future regarding personal matters. Could this become the source of a rift between Byford and Ford?
Rob Ford has a better attendance record than David Miller and many other city councillors, according to The Star. Scarborough East councillor Ron Moeser has missed the most votes as a result of ongoing health issues, Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday has the best record. According to the paper, Ford has missed 494 of the 3,334 votes this term, making him absent 14.8 per cent of the time. Are you surprised by these stats?
Note: The Star has since updated their article to reflect the fact Miller's attendance records were only available between 2009 and 2010, not his entire term.
In embarrassing gaffes, City of Toronto staff have apologized after accidentally recycling last year's Veteran's Week proclamation online. And they probably would have gotten away with it too if only they hadn't tweeted a link on the mayor's official account.
With all the condo buildings under construction in Toronto it's easy to lose track of the various projects that have fallen by the wayside. The Grid takes a look at the abandoned Kormann House project at Queen and Sherbourne, a housing project that seemingly defied the odds by not getting built.
On a similar note, here's a map by journalist Lisa Mayor of all the condos that are getting built [via Reddit.]
If you're an amateur cartographer or just someone with a love for maps, here's a diagram of present day Toronto divided up into its former municipalities with the dates each were officially incorporated. Posted to Reddit by TOmaps, the map seems to be a little misleading: the boundaries are in their 1960s positions.

Vaughan and Davis still manage to show up for votes more often than Ford. What exactly has Vaughan said about the bus issue? I've heard more from Milczyn (a TTC commissioner) and Byford, and even if Ford himself didn't call for the bus, or only asked what was keeping the bus, neither of them thought it was an acceptable use of a TTC bus, and rightly so.
That said, its interesting that that's what you choose to focus on. Yes, Miller's attendance record was worse, but at the end of the day, because Miller had a clear agenda, he could, if unable to attend a council meeting leave certain matters in the hands of his deputies who could then see them through. You can choose to interpret his absences as arrogance (as you clearly have) but since Miller (unlike Ford) publicly released his agenda every day during his time in office, you can actually see exactly what he was up to on those days he wasn't at council. With Ford? Not so much.
In Ford's case, his agenda is off the rails - he routinely loses votes on issues he puts forth, and even his staunchest allies are struggling to understand what he is prioritizing or how to move his agenda forward. You would think that under those circumstances he would put a greater emphasis on actually showing up to meetings and trying to lead council. Instead, he blows off meetings to coach his football team - something he's done frequently enough that it has to be abundantly clear to all but his most blindly loyal followers that his real priority is coaching the Bosco team, and being Mayor of the city is (maybe) number two.
Case in point - he's now missed parts of multiple meetings because of games and practises (and god knows what else since his agenda is apparently a state secret) but he's never once missed a minute of a game in order to attend a council meeting. How is that leadership?
Besides, Miller had a comfortable number f councillors on his side. Lessening his need to be at middle-of-the-road votes. Ford doesn't have that luxury....he has to be at every battle.

Another year passes just as another wrinkle indents my face.
I thought it would be nice to glance at the past just as the new year as come into bloom. 2012 began with being accepted to study Politics and Law in Paris and having the great opportunity to live in the most beautiful city in the world for a semester. During my breaks in between classes (and consequently during the Paris Fashion Weeks) I would scamper off from Saint Germain de Pres to take photos outside whichever show was on, photographing my favourite designers, editors and photographers. By chance I met Tommy Ton (whose blog I have been following for years) outside the Jean Paul Gaultier Headquarters during Couture Week and was photographed by him for style.com. After Couture week I was invited to the beautiful Talbot Runhof show in March during the Ready to Wear Paris Fashion Week to attend my first Paris show and met the designers backstage. It was at this point I was so lucky to have also met so many incredible bloggers and photographers, and soon realised their enormous influence in the fashion industry. Coming from one of the most isolated cities in the world, this was my Mecca in pure, wonderful, Disney-dreams-coming-true bliss.
Going back home always brings a wave of nostalgia for greener pastures, so one way to keep my toe dipped in the fashion pond was to create this blog late 2012. It is still a fairly new experiment and (proving to be a very addictive) hobby. Now I have big plans for 2013 - after 2012, it's only going to keep getting better and better, right? The adventure continues!

As reported today in Hoopville, Xavier senior forward Brian Thornton is gone for the remainder of the season with a broken ankle. Thornton was averaging 15.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. After starting out 12-2, the Musketeers have fallen to 14-7, and losing Thornton pretty much kills their chances at a recovery. This is, of course, good news for UMass, who faces Xavier in the final game of the regular season.
As I noted yesterday, the experts are predicting that GW will be the only Atlantic 10 tourney team. Even though they've been bombing lately, Xavier still seemed capable of capturing the conference title. No longer so. But I think there are still three other teams that have an outside shot at snagging an at-large bid: La Salle, Charlotte, and Temple. Don't laugh.
Okay, you can laugh a little.
All three of these teams have a legit shot at reaching 20 wins, which every year serves as a significant threshold that bubble teams have to cross. While it's true that every year there is some 22-win team that gets shafted by the selection committee, it's also true that, psychologically, that big two-oh looks a lot more impressive than a 17-13 mark, no matter where it comes from. None of these teams is going to turn heads with their quality wins over Top 25 teams, or overwhelming RPI ratings, so blazing finishes are the only shot they've got -- the old What have you done for me lately? strategy. Plus, it doesn't hurt if they've got a nice story to tell.
Winners of five straight, La Salle (15-7, 7-4) still has to play St. Bonaventure, Dayton, at GW, at Fordham, and St. Louis. If they can continue their momentum winning 4 out of 5 is very doable -- although, getting a quality win over GW might be a necessity. At any rate, this would put them at 19-8 (11-5) going into the conference tournament with a high seed. Let's say they can pick up two more wins on the strength of Steven Smith's senior leadership (i.e. last chance to get attention of NBA scouts), leaving them at 21-9. Given that La Salle hasn't been to the tournament since 1802 or something, the NCAA committee might find their heartstrings sufficiently tugged.
Temple (13-9, 6-5) has six games left, St. Joe's, at St. Louis, Richmond, Duke, at URI, and Fordham. The way they have played this season, I can see them going both 6-0 and 0-6 during that span. If they go 5-1, and give Duke a run for their money (if it were at Duke I'd say no chance, but it's not), and then win a couple A-10 tournament games, they would find themselves at 20-10. You know the committee will want to give John Chaney a break, because they'd feel like jerks if he keels over without making it back to the tourney.
Finally, Charlotte is presently 14-9, 7-3 in conference. They have six games left: Richmond, at Fordham, at UMass, St. Louis, Duquesne, and at GW. Winning out, including over GW, coupled with a strong conference tournament, would put them in the 22-10 range. Unless they can get people curious about why they are called the 49ers, they have no cute media angle to make their case for them. In other words: pretty much up the creek.

MARSHALL - Eighth-graders at Marshall Middle School are getting an interactive learning experience this year in social studies class, courtesy of a pilot program involving digital textbooks.
The brand new experience has MMS teacher Sandy Carpenter and her students excited for the future. Though the program does not eliminate traditional textbooks altogether, the use of digital textbooks and e-lessons has unlimited opportunities for learning.
"I like it a lot," eighth-grader Mitchell Sueker said. "It's kind of cool because you get to do interactive things with the videos. You can take your own little quizzes and just learn from that."

Marshall Middle School eighth-graders Salvador Talamantes, left, Jason Arzdorf, Brooke Lothert and Mitchell Sueker accessed their digital textbook accounts on the school's computer Tuesday. The eighth-grade students at MMS are piloting a digital textbook program in social studies this year.
Brooke Lothert said she also likes using the digital textbooks. While there are times when the students will use the school computer lab, most of the time, the students use their home computers.
"I think it works better than the worksheets," she said. "It's better to learn from it. Some of the questions are easier to understand."
Lothert also admitted that she liked taking notes on the computer as she went through reading material, as opposed to writing it out with a pen and paper.
"I like typing my notes a lot better," she said.
By using SuccessNet Plus, which is the first K-12 system to merge learning management with Pearson's proven curriculum, automatically personalizing instruction for all participating students, grading and tracking student performance is much easier. Students are able to access their calendar and itinerary and work at their own pace most of the time.
"I will go over things in class, so they have an idea," Carpenter said. "This doesn't necessarily take stuff away from me, but the work is much more focused."
Every group has a graphic comic strip that will do a show for them, like the Battle of the Spanish Armada with Queen Elizabeth one that students were currently reviewing. After students push through the slides, they will have seven different lessons, Carpenter said, where they'll use both "their text and knowledge they've learned in class" to answer the questions.
All of the students have the ability to stop and save assignments at any time. Questions vary from fill-in-the-blank to multiple choice, matching or typing in an answer. Incorrect answers can be corrected, which allows learning to continue.
"Can a kid go through it all at one time? Certainly," Carpenter said. "But they're also going to do it as we do it in class."
For most students, using the interactive site is like second nature since they've grown up with technology all their lives.
"It was a good system overall," eighth-grader Salvador Talamantes said. "It had a few flaws, like logging in at first, but we got through those. It was easy once you got used to it. And, practice makes perfect."
Jason Arzdorf appreciated that he didn't have to lug an enormous social studies book home every night.
"I like it because I don't have to bring the whole book home to study," he said. "It's a lot easier to just log onto the computer and start studying that way."
Arzdorf pointed out that you had to remember to track where you've been.
"If you didn't track it, it didn't count," he said.
One of the best parts, Carpenter said, is that if a student is absent, he or she can go right online and read it at home. Of the 75 students she currently teaches eighth-grade social studies to, only one student reported not having Internet access.
"But that student has an enrichment time where it can be done during the school day," she said. "And if students have a question for me while they're at home, they can e-mail me and ask me what to do or come in before school starts."
What Carpenter loves the most is that students have access to a timeline in their e-lessons. And for social studies, she said, the information is always current.
"Along with seeing the primary document, pictures and everything else, the kids take notes on what they read, submit it and go back," she said. "It's awesome."
Sueker agreed, admitting that he enjoyed the interactive part of the process.
"You can go back into your notes and look at what you've tracked and then go back and review," Sueker said. "That's always nice before a test, to be able to go back and review for stuff."
According to Carpenter, the pilot program came about partly because the social studies department is scheduled to receive new curriculum this spring.
"We have a calendar schedule for when departments buy curriculum," she said. "We will be looking to purchase new curriculum for our classrooms. What is also taking place is that the state-wide social studies standards were updated and will also go into effect next year at the middle school level. We have some changes in fifth grade, sixth grade and eighth grade and a complete change in seventh grade."
So Carpenter contacted different publishers and worked with them to get samples. Carpenter liked that Pearson Prentice Hall was totally online. Though the pilot program had some technical issues to get through at first, things are getting more comfortable all the time.
For Carpenter, it's a sign of good things to come.
"I am hoping to receive a technology grant," she said. "My goal is to have a digital classroom."

WASHINGTON -- Democrats today launched their first campaign attack on John Katko, only days after he received the Republican and Conservative Party endorsements in the 24th Congressional District.
In a possible preview of election strategy, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee painted Katko as a right-wing ideologue willing to carry the Tea Party agenda in the November election against Rep. Dan Maffei, D-Syracuse.
The DCCC, the campaign arm of House Democrats in Washington, D.C., criticized Katko for his comments Monday after he received the Conservative Party endorsement from party committees in Onondaga, Cayuga, Oswego and Wayne counties.
Katko said he looks "forward to carrying their business-friendly, controlled spending, reduced taxes, and pro-Second Amendment platform to voters this fall."
The New York Conservative Party platform this year also calls for racial profiling by police, banning same-sex marriage, carrying out the death penalty, banning abortions except to save the mother's life, permitting hydrofracking for natural gas, and passing a flat tax where every household in New York pays the same percentage of its income.
Marc Brumer, a spokesman for the DCCC, said Katko "didn't waste any time picking up where (former Rep.) Ann Marie Buerkle left off."
"The far right-wing establishment handpicked John Katko as their candidate to carry on Ann Marie Buerkle's Tea Party torch and he is already rubberstamping her same radical out-of-touch agenda which hurt Central New York's middle class and seniors," Brumer said.
Katko was not immediately available for an interview, but he issued a statement that said the DCCC was doing Maffei's dirty work.
"Instead of welcoming me to the race and pledging a campaign of positive ideas and
constructive dialogue, Dan Maffei has chosen to have an attack surrogate sling mud," Katko said. "I can assure Mr. Maffei that my campaign is gaining momentum, inclusive of all Central New Yorkers with a variety of creeds and political philosophies."
Katko did not address the New York Conservative Party platform, and whether he supports all of its principles.
"The fact that Dan Maffei chose Ash Wednesday - a holy day of tolerance, repentance, and reflection for all Christians - to start his negative attacks says a lot about the candidate that he is," Katko said. "My refusal to respond in kind should say a lot about the man that I am and the congressman that I will be."
While Katko takes heat from Democrats, some of the candidates who challenged him for the Republican and Conservative endorsements have complained that he is too moderate.
Ian Hunter, of Syracuse, said he will attempt to land a spot on the Republican and Conservative ballots to force a primary against Katko and challenge him as the "true" Tea Party candidate.
"I was not impressed with the fact that he intentionally painted himself out to be a moderate at party meetings," Hunter said Monday. Hunter said he plans to make his primary challenge "a Tea Party Republican vs. Moderate Republican campaign."
John Lemondes, of LaFayette, who finished second in the race for the GOP designation in the 24th District, is thinking over whether he also wants to make a primary bid.
Tuesday was the first day candidates could begin passing petitions to gather the 1,250 valid signatures needed in order to secure a place on the June 24 federal primary ballot.

What's up?
Sorry for the paltry post, but I was recently promoted — yay! — and am working full-time. In terms of news, I have spent most of my time reading stories about the impending fiscal cliff, in which taxes may be raised and programs cut. (We are working on it, by the way!)
Do you have any thoughts about the fiscal cliff?
In other news: A Manhattan grand jury is hearing evidence against suspect Pedro Hernandez in the case of Etan Patz. Patz went missing in 1979 on his way to catch the bus for school. His body was never found and his family continues to live in Soho. I pray they receive some closure in this awful case.
What else is in the news? What's up with you?
