Group Theory. This very abstract branch of Mathematics was used by Xenakis in Nomos Alpha, for solo cello. Musical "variations" based on a rather limited number of elements are produced by the rotation of two cubes whose vertices represent a combined value of three sound parameters (the meeting edges). Two such cubes rotating inside each other, bring the total number of parameters to six. The rotations (or transformations) themselves are described by a group structure.
Foot note. Sometimes considered an abstract speculation without practical consequences, group theory proved to be the key to solving the puzzle of the ever growing number of sub-atomic particles which were being discovered 30-40 years ago. On a more philosophical level, groups describe symmetries or invariances under certain transformations. Today too, physicists are looking for deeper symmetries which will help us to understand the fundamental structure of matter.
Sound parameters. After WWII some composers attempted to control in their compositions all sound parameters. The most obvious sound qualities or parameters are:
Duration Time interval Pitch Frequency Dynamics (loudness) Amplitude Timbre Waveform Articulations EnvelopeThe first column above includes terms used by musicians; the second, their correspondent description in acoustics. Although widely accepted, this chart is not without flaw since it represents a rather crude description of the qualities of a sound as it was proposed in late 19th century by Helmholtz. More about this to follow soon.
It is interesting to observe that, in the Western musical culture, pitch and rhythm were practically the only ingredients in the music written before the 16-17th centuries. The Baroque period introduced dynamics as an important element of music while only in the 19th century composers started paying serious attention to timbre (orchestration). A strong interest in composing the way articulations are applied is very recent. Historically, the list of parameters has increased from 2 to at least 5 in the last millenium.
Game Theory. Two participants agree to play, one move at a time, according to a matrix of payements which determines what the second player gains or looses after each participant moves once. Linaia Agon, based on the mythological musical duel between king Linos and Apollo, uses such matrices to direct the improvisation of the performers. It is Xenakis' answer to "aleatory music", a trend in the 60s, asking the musicians to improvise or make decisions during the performance based on rules given by the composer.
Random walks. Similar to Brownian motion, they describe random movements which might have a general direction, but usuallt are not easy to detect. Mists for solo piano by Xenakis uses:
Fractals. French mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot proposed the term fractal geometry for geometries which deal with spaces with fractional numbers of dimenssions. The concept has to do with the degree of detail we see and with the degree of "roughness" of a surface of volume. If one "zooms in" on such objects, one discovers shapes which never repeat themselves but, at different levels, are self-similar. This property was exploited by musicians in creating melodic lines which bring back similar sucession of intervals but never repeat exactly.
Chaos theory (Complex Dynamic Systems). Phenomena like whirlpools in a river or turbulence were considered "chaotic", and unpredictable until not too long ago. This theory finds general patterns which seem to govern such seemingly random occurences in a loose way. Nonlinear equations (involving terms squared or at higher powers) usually describe such processes. A number of composers have been interested in applying this in their music.
Genetic algorithms. Related to Cellular Automata and, to some extent, even to Markov chains, they:
Catastrophe Theory. A theory first proposed by French mathematician Rene Thom which deals with sudden, abrupt, and discontinuous changes. Composers Aurel Stroe and David Rosenboom have used it in their works.
Information Theory. Born out of the desire to find out what is the most efficient way of transmitting messages, it is used in music either to analyze stylistic features of existing works or to controll the pacing of events in a piece of music. The latter is a permanent concern of composers of all times and aesthetic persuations.

Pistorius was born without a fibula bone in either of his lower legs. His legs were amputated below the knee when he was 11 months old, and six months after that he learned to walk on fibreglass pegs. His parents, the owners of a zinc-mining business, encouraged him to participate in sports. He played water polo and rugby in secondary school until he injured a knee in 2003 playing rugby. Pistorius began track training to rehabilitate that knee. Shortly after obtaining his first carbon-fibre prostheses—the source of his nickname "Blade Runner"—Pistorius won the 200-metre event at the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens and claimed a bronze medal in the 100 metres.
At an elite invitational competition in Rome in July 2007, Pistorius first competed internationally against able-bodied athletes, improving his best time in the 400 metres to 46.90 seconds. His impressive performances caught the attention of the international track-and-field governing body, which asked him to participate in a series of tests. The results indicated that Pistorius's high-tech prosthetic legs imparted an unfair advantage, enabling him to expend less energy than able-bodied athletes running at the same speed. In 2008 the IAAF Council banned him from able-bodied competition. Later that year, however, a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) appeals panel revoked the ban, though the issue continued to cause much debate. Later that summer Pistorius won three gold medals at the Beijing Paralympics—the T43/T44 class 100 metres, 200 metres, and 400 metres—and set a world record in his class.
Head injuries that Pistorius sustained in a boating accident in 2009 set him back throughout 2010, but he rebounded in 2011 to win gold in the 100 metres and 400 metres at the Paralympic World Cup before qualifying for the world championships. Although he was not a member of the relay team that raced in the final, his participation in the qualifying heats of the 4 × 400-metre relay earned Pistorius a world championship silver medal. He was the 22nd fastest 400-metre runner in the world in 2011. While his times did not qualify him for the South African Olympic team in 2012, Pistorius was selected to race in the individual 400 metres and the 4 × 400-metre relay. When he ran in the former event at the London Games, he became the first amputee to compete in track at the Olympics. Although he reached the semifinals, Pistorius failed to advance to the medal round. In the 4 × 400 relay, his team made the finals but did not medal.
On February 14, 2013, Pistorius was charged with murdering his girlfriend inside his home, a walled complex near Pretoria. He was released on bail and allowed to travel outside of South Africa to compete in track events while he awaited trial.

Panic situations
I've spent time making my hair look perfect. I've used my favorite combination of products and done all the styling tricks that make my curls just right. There are only three things that can ruin this effort and cause a hair panic attack:
- I get a text that he has rented a convertible for our special night out.
- We have had a nice dinner. It is still early and he wants to go for a walk on the beach.
- We are walking to a favorite restaurant and the weather changes. It starts to mist and get windy and we still have many blocks to go.
All of these situations are going to destroy the curls. A favorite hat or scarf is a safe solution. Pulling my hair back in messy bun or a ponytail are good too. I can imagine a nice wind blown look as well, but the curl reality is never as good as what I imagine.
Your purse might be heavy, but with these curly hair tips and fixes, you'll be ready for any date hair emergency.

what chipset is the wireless adapter you wish to modify?
We have an USB wireless adapter such as
down here
But this adapter can't hold antenna
What can we do?With which internal circuit can be connected an antenna?
and by this way we could then make an adapter with our hands like this down here?
Any good tip would be admirable!!!
what chipset is the wireless adapter you wish to modify?
have a look around these 2 sites. Granted that one is for Bluetooth, however it will guide you as to where you will want to make your connection to the PCB.
Also have a search on Google & the forums as there is similar information floating about.
I'd like to put an output to my adapter to hold an antenna. I want to boost my receiving signal..
Though Realtek 8187 is very poor in receiving signal wireless adapter!
I recommend Atheros chipsets!! Super

Simultaneously CABI has developed a Swine flu 'dashboard' that brings together up-to-the-minute information on the virus (http://www.netvibes.com/cabialerts).The 'dashboard' includes resources from CABI and critical advice from key health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
The Global Health database brings together global knowledge on every aspect of influenza since 1910. The knowledge it contains could provide a key weapon in health researchers' response in understanding and controlling the virus.
Much of the data in Global Health is derived from publications that have long since vanished. They tell us a great deal about past pandemics, from rates and patterns of transmission, duration, timing of epidemiological peaks, geographical distribution of the disease, government preparedness and quarantine provisions through to effects on different age and social groups, severity in developing versus developed countries, symptoms, causes of mortality (secondary problems, especially pneumonia, were devastating in the Spanish flu) and mortality rates.

Several local congressional representatives pledged to support President Barack Obama's call Wednesday for tougher gun laws, including background checks on all gun buyers and a renewed ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
The package was the culmination of an effort to confront a spate of mass shootings and gun violence, a little more than a month after the Dec. 14 shooting deaths of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Burbank Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, a member of the Congressional Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, referred to a "scourge of gun violence" in a statement.
"The President articulated a reasonable set of proposals — both through executive order and congressional action — that will keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill, while respecting the right of law-abiding Americans to own a gun," said Schiff, a former federal prosecutor.
"I am looking forward to continuing to work with the House Gun Violence Task Force to move gun violence prevention legislation through Congress, including a bill I am introducing to ensure that victims of gun violence have the same rights to hold gun makers and gun sellers accountable for negligence, and reintroducing legislation I authored last session to crack down on straw purchasers of guns who assist others in illegally obtaining weapons without background checks."
Other Democrats signaled that they intended to act quickly on gun control.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said Senate and House cosponsors will introduce legislation next week prohibiting the sale, manufacture and transportation of assault weapons and ammunition feeding devices of more than 10 rounds.
Feinstein authored the Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994. It expired in 2004.
Rep. Judy Chu, D-Pasadena, who serves on the House Judiciary Committee where gun control legislation is likely to face tough hearings in the Republican-controlled House, predicted a bill could be on the president's desk before year's end.
"I believe there would be very vigorous debate as of now, now that the president has announced his plan, but I think it will pick up more momentum after the State of the Union," Chu said in a telephone interview.
The potential weapons ban has attracted a lot of attention, but Chu said she thinks a nationwide requirement for background checks that would forbid private party sales nationwide could be an even bigger accomplishment for gun control advocates.
"I think the key to the bill is rigorous background checks with no exceptions," said Chu, who is also on the gun task force.
One of California's newest members of Congress, Rep. Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, said in a statement that while the Constitution guarantees Americans a right to gun ownership, it isn't without limits.
"I believe — and the Supreme Court has concurred — that this guarantee does not include the right to purchase military-style assault weapons or high-capacity magazines," said Lowenthal.
"Recent events in Newtown, Aurora (Colo.), and Tucson (Ariz.) demonstrate that more must be done to protect the American people from such horrific acts of violence and I look forward to working with my colleagues to pass common sense changes to the way we license guns and restrict access to certain weapons that do not have legitimate sporting or self-defense uses."
South Bay Democratic Congresswoman Janice Hahn of San Pedro urged bipartisan support of what she referred to as "common sense" reforms.
Hahn, a former Los Angeles City Councilwoman, said gun violence is "all too familiar" to her communities.
"We've been to too many funerals. We've seen the endless, easy death that guns bring to our streets, our homes and our schools," said Hahn. "Congress needs to act, and I hope we move immediately on the President's proposals."
Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Lakewood, commended Obama for making safe schools a priority in his plan. The president proposes money to hire 1,000 new school resources officers and school counselors.
"I have long advocated that we reduce school bullying and that we place more counselors in schools that need them," Sanchez said in prepared remarks. "I am pleased the President is making sure that both bullying prevention and hiring more school counselors are integral parts of his plan to protect our children."
The six-term congresswoman also announced that she will soon introduce legislation to provide local law enforcement agencies with resources to reduce the number of guns on the street and help with disposal of unwanted firearms.
Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Beverly Hills, praised Obama for directing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to research the causes of gun violence — something Congress barred in the 1990 s.
The move, Waxman said in a statement, "removed the handcuffs" that pro-gun legislators had placed on the CDC.
"This is a crucial step forward for science and children's safety," said Waxman, calling for a "full-blown assault" on gun violence.
Rep. Gloria Negrete-McLeod, D-Montclair, also offered her support to the White House proposals. McLeod, like Chu, is part of Thompson's task force and has said she would support an assault weapons ban.
McLeod also said she is not bothered by the president's decision to enact some parts of his plan by executive order.
"I do not believe the President is overstepping Congress. The President is using the powers he has been granted by the Constitution and is only strengthening existing programs such as the background check system. The ultimate power is in Congress and what policies will be put forth for consideration," McLeod said in an email.
Among Republicans, Rep. Ed Royce of Fullerton supports the Second Amendment but also accepts background checks, according to a Royce spokeswoman.
"Ed supports the Second Amendment for law-abiding citizens. He also has supported common sense proposals to promote gun safety, including requiring instant background checks and the use of safety devices for guns," Royce communications director Audra George said in an email. "In addition, he supported a law to strengthen the instant background check system, by providing states with financial incentives to report records of mental illness (and other red-flag cases) to the FBI."
The statement from Royce's office didn't include his position on an assault weapons ban.
Although many Republicans tend to oppose gun control, Chu said there may now be enough public pressure to convince Republican lawmakers to vote with Democrats.
"I think it could be a tough fight," she said. "However, I do feel there is a lot of pressure from people around the nation who are concerned about the senseless violence."

There is reason for those of you who spent a third or fourth-round pick on Montee Ball to make him your RB2 to be optimistic: He received a noticeable amount of reps with the first-team offense during Monday's practice. Ronnie Hillman had been getting most of the carries with the first team, but he is coming off his second consecutive preseason game with a lost fumble.
However, Broncos head coach John Fox said that he wouldn't read too much into the practice distribution and he explained the change as the team just wanting to see Ball work more with the starters.
Fantasy Analysis:
Hillman remains listed at the top of the Broncos' running back depth chart, so yeah. However, I have to believe that Hillman's next fumble -- especially if it occurs within the next few weeks -- will cost him meaningful playing time. If anything, this could be more evidence that the Broncos are ready employ an evenly split backfield committee, and I guess we can't forget about Knowshon Moreno either. I like this situation less and less as the days go by.

Dunsany Castle was built by Hugh de Lacy about the middle of the twelfth century.
It was an immediate success and aroused great general interest in Dunsany's other plays.
A Night at an Inn is one of Dunsany's contributions to the revival of romance in our generation.
A Dunsany play would be too difficult for the Gopher Prairie association.
Or in those of such dreamers as Maeterlinck, Dunsany, or Poe.
Dunsany's prime quality is a romantic and highly colored imagination which is rich in symbolism.

Unsolved Homicide
In August of 1990, Mr. Dexter R. Jacobson was found shot to death in a culvert, near the Rodeo Avenue fire trail entrance, off of southbound US Highway 101. Mr. Jacobson's car was parked nearby, and is believed to have been there from at least August 14th to the 18th.
Mr. Jacobson was a Bay Area based attorney, and was involved in a very detailed legal investigation at the time of his death.
This freeway exit's primary purpose is as an access point for the Rodeo and Alta fire trails that service the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. This area is frequented by hikers, mountain bikers, and other outdoor enthusiasts.
The Waldo Grade area of US Highway 101 is heavily traveled, especially during the summer months.

Hello, i'm a new here and just installed Backtrack 5 because i Love those Dragon art lolz.. My impression for this distribution is quite good and Backtrack 5 is way much better than backtrack 4.
There's something bugging me about Python package in Backtrack, since it based on ubuntu which is most of it software depend on Python2.7 ( Please correct me if i'm wrong ). And i saw there are about 4 Python version inside backtrack 5. Is there any better way to split this package? I saw this split package causing the "incompatibility" with upstream ( ubuntu 10.04 ).
Maybe we can take a look Archlinux way to split this python so user will not face any break package. If i see the library i guess it's gonna be a lot of work to do. But Maybe it can be done for next release i guess.
That's just my 2cents,

How to successfully Potty Train
Hello Everyone,
I am very eager to start potty training my 18 month old, but I have no idea where to start. How do I know if my love is ready to potty train? Are there any signs that I should look for?
I've also heard I should switch to pull ups for this process. Is this true? Being a first time mom, I have so many questions and would really appreciate all the help I can get.
Thanks All,

Hi Fran,
All children are different and potty training readiness can vary. Here is a great article that I read here on Pregnancy Birth and Beyond How to Toilet Train in Just One Day I tried to potty train my boys when they were 2 years old. It became obvious very quickly that they weren't ready and all of us were just getting frustrated, so I waited until they were 3. It took about a week to get them totally out of diapers. I didn't use pull-ups during the day because I felt that they wouldn't be able to tell when they were wet. It was messy for a while but I think it helped.
Some readiness signs to look for are:
1. They can tell you when they have to go poop or pee
2. They have regular bowel movements (you can predict when they will probably go)
3. No bowel movements at night.
4. Can dress and undress themselves (at least their pants)
Good Luck!

The best advice I can give is to wait until your child is ready. I was so excited to toilet train my first child that I started early, and it was overwhelming (for both of us). He was not ready, so I had to learn to back off for a bit and give him more time. We have tried pullups, but I have found that my children use them just like diapers. We just switched over to regular underwear when we finally started toilet training. They did have accidents, but regular underwear seemed to work better for us. Each child is really different, so what works for one child may not work for another.
The readiness signs above are all good to look for before you start toilet training. We have tried to wait until our child is staying dry for longer periods of time, can tell us when he or she goes, and when the child is showing an interest in the toilet. We found sticker charts worked well for one of our children. She loved picking out stickers and being able to put a new one on her chart every time she used the toilet. I also want to mention that my oldest toilet trained on his own a month or two before his third birthday. I gave him time and he finally decided one day that he just wanted to use the toilet. My oldest daughter did not toilet train until after the age of three. She refused to use the toilet, so we did not try to push it like we had with our first. What finally worked for her was using sticker charts. Good luck and please feel free to ask any questions you have.

If you'd like to learn when other mums potty trained their children there's a good thread on the forum called "When did you potty train your child?"
I agree with Jessica and DoubleSunshine. Sometimes later can be better, and you want to be absolutely sure that your child is ready before even thinking about trying.
Nappies can actually be freeing for you, because you're not having to clean up accidents all the time. When you do potty train, then you'll be wiping her bottom and when you're out you'll have to run around trying to find a potty for her to use. So embrace the nappy time and let her show you when she's ready.
It can be helpful to read a book, and How to Toilet Train in Just One Day is a good one. I read it and used it with my first, and it worked! But my daughter was just over 3 when we did it.


text: This step is very important in the final stages of production. You will need to find a closet and have it set at 50% humidity you will then hang the buds upside down by string and let them dry out for 3-4 days. You want your bud to be a little crisp on the outside and nice and wet on the inside. You will then need a mason jar to store the nugs in while this method will help extract any unwanted moisture on the buds. Make sure to open the Mason jar at least 3 times a day because leaving moisture trapped in the Mason jar for long periods of time can lead to potential mold on the nug. After about a week of this technique the buds should be cured.

You're an OU fan? That explains a lot.
Perfect throw by Landry...the scouts will love that one. Stills dropped it
OU getting away with so much right now.
touchdown sooners!!!
Typical lame fan crutch.
Did you miss the holds by the offense? The push off by Stills? I don't need a crutch when we are still winning.
Ugh, that's going to hurt if Swope is out. Might've twisted that ankle pretty badly there.
That was a classic Bob Stoops half of football in a big game. Control the clock. Move the ball up and down the field. Somehow be behind at the end.
He has it mastered.
Landry Jones is getting all kinds of time for the most part. Throw 5 yards or throw 40. I'd like to see a few more intermediate passes. That pick was horrible.
how the hell did mack brown screw up luck, rg3, dalton AND manziel???
Manziel is good in college. But i have a feeling he wont be in the nfl.
He was too busy recruiting the #1 QB prospect Garrett Gilbert :laugh2:
Alright Manziel is ridiculously elusive. lol
He's only a freshman, gonna be a fun couple years watching him play at A&M
Aggies defense made some good adjustments so far. Johnny needs to step on the throat with this next drive.
OU's offense is too finesse.
OU better start scoring td's or get thrashed.
Wish the Cowboys had a OLine half as good as the Aggies
mike sherman did a helluva job putting together this oline.
Agreed, Dallas should have hired him.

Some brands of butter and margarine are yellower than others, so that can cause a problem when trying to make pure white buttercream icing. Like you, I love the flavor of butter in my icing. If you're unable to find a pale yellow butter, there are two other solutions to brightening up your icing. You can make an all-vegetable shortening icing and add butter flavoring, or you can make your favorite recipe, and add White-White color from Wilton to the icing.

US Vet Released After Detainment in N. Korea
"I am very glad to be on my way home," a smiling Newman told reporters after arriving at the airport in
"I feel good," Newman said, adding with a laugh that the first thing he planned to do was "go home and see my wife."

anxious child
My husband works abroad for a year now. He will be home again next month. My 2 year-old fears other person she barely knows or see. I know it will hurt my husband's feelings. What should I do to make her feel comfortable with him and won't feel anxious?

Dear Leslie,
That must be extremely difficult at times for all of you. You do so well to care for your daughters when your husband is working abroad. I bet you can't wait to see him again!
I think what is important here is that it will take time for all of you to adjust to him being back. How long will your husband be home for? Your 2 year old is sadly unlikely to remember her dad because the last time she saw him she would have been very young. I would start showing photos of him to her and videos too if possible. Are you able to use Skype to video call your husband? This real-time video interaction can be excellent for children building relationships from a distance.
You could put together a scrap book which explains to your daughter more about her daddy, with lots of pictures and photos. For example, stick in it pictures of clothes he likes wearing or hobbies he has. Make a page about fun things you are all going to do together to look forward to.
When the time comes for him to join you at home again, I would try to deal with your children sensitively and gently. They may be feeling all kinds of emotions and perhaps unable to properly express them (this is likely to also be the case for your older child). Give them lots of leeway if they seem shy, unsettled or angry. Explain all this to your husband in advance. Of course, he must be missing his children so much but as you transition to living together again you must both put your children first and your own emotions second. Videos and photos of your children for your husband (sent to him in advance) may also help him to bond with his children again easier.
You could try using some role-play with your children's teddies or dolls. Have a teddy play each family member and act out what is going to happen. Ask your children to tell you how teddy is feeling and let them know that it is ok to feel like that. It will get easier with time. Some children find it helpful to draw pictures expressing how they are feeling.
It may be nice to plan some special family days out in the first week that he is home. Everyone can then hopefully relax and have fun together making new family memories.
I hope this transition time goes smoothly and happily for you all.
Warm wishes,

We seldom talk/video chat because he is on-board on a ship with no WIFI. He is a seafarer. I may need to try your suggestions. I really hope it is not too late. Thank you so much for the great advice.

That must be very difficult Leslie.
It's not too late - try and put some of the suggestions in place that would work for you e.g. sharing photos with your daughter of your husband and with your husband of your daughter. You could also start writing your husband a short paragraph with the highlights, and difficult times, of each day so that he feels in touch with the details of your day and your emotions. It just takes a bit more effort and planning when a parent has to work overseas. What is important is to keep your communication open and honest. How long will your husband be back for?

You are right, LJ. Thank you. He will be staying with us for couple of months only.
16th January 2014 07:14 AM #6
At least you can pack that couple of months with lots of special family bonding times. Here are some ideas of fun things to do together as a family:
- go on an orienteering walk
- go to the zoo or a farm or even simply a pet shop!
- draw portraits of each other
- create a family scrap book of memories along the way
- plan a special menu and cook a meal together
- have a teddy bears picnic
- fly a kite
- go on a barefoot walk in your garden or a friend's garden; squelch through the mud and feel the shapes of the stones on your feet
- feed the ducks at the park
- let your children plan the day's activities
Have fun and enjoy.

WATCH: Korn singer attacks government and media for eroding civil liberties
(Yahoo!) - For years, Korn frontman Jonathan Davis has followed domestic and international politics, but when it came to his band, he preferred to focus on personal issues such as dysfunctional romances and parasitic relationships.
With the group's new video "Spike in My Veins," however, Korn is making strong comments about media manipulation, government surveillance, and the frivolity of the content that the public is fed by pop culture celebrities and reality shows.
"The entertainment industry will do anything to get people's attention away from all the terrible things that are happening in the world," Davis told Yahoo Music. "And that's why people are so oblivious to what's going on. They're completely obsessed with following every detail of the lives of untalented people."
The video for "Spike in my Veins" is filled with snippets from news broadcasts that give the song an old-school industrial flavor. These clips include: President Obama talking about National Security Advisory (NSA) spying; NSA whistleblower and political fugitive Edward Snowden, music videos by Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, and Kanye West; and shots of Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber and others. There are also scenes depicting the political scandals of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and New Jersey governor Chris Christie.
To Davis, all the sensationalism the media reports is a conscious effort by the government to pull a bait-and-switch with the general public in order to keep them unaware of the controversial acts committed behind their backs in the name of national security.
"When the whole Justin Bieber bulls**t was going on and there was the Miley Cyrus commotion and the Kanye West thing happening, Obama passed this crazy-ass f***ing bill that allows him to put anyone he wants in prison," Davis said. "He can hold them there as long as he wants and he doesn't have to charge them with anything. And then there's military action going on in the world that's not even reported on the news. Why are people letting this s**t happen? It's because they've basically become placated into becoming sheep."

Bipartisan Jobs Bill in Connecticut a Template for Congress
Nov 30, 2011
As federal lawmakers continue to negotiate the right fix for the nation's high unemployment, one state has stepped up and passed a jobs bill that includes provisions to aid low-skill workers by funding subsidized jobs.
Connecticut's Act Promoting Economic Growth and Job Creation in the State passed nearly unanimously in both houses of the state Legislature, and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed the bipartisan bill into law recently.
The two-year, $626 million jobs package funds a wide variety of proposals. Notably, it includes the Subsidized Training and Employment Program (STEP), which authorizes the state Department of Labor to spend $20 million over the next two years to subsidize the first six months of eligible new employees' employment and training costs at small businesses and manufacturers. Both programs are for new hires, and the small business STEP grants are targeted to low-income, unemployed adults.
The new program mirrors the successful provision in the Recovery Act (TANF Emergency Fund) that enabled states to operate subsidized jobs programs for low-income workers. From 2009 to 2010, the TANF Emergency Fund placed more than 260,000 low-income individuals in subsidized jobs at a total federal cost of $1.32 billion. States could choose whether to target long-term unemployed workers, welfare recipients, or other populations. Through this federal program, Connecticut ran subsidized employment programs for youth and adults and placed more than 6,000 participants before the program expired in September 2010.
Unfortunately, at the federal level, major jobs legislation has failed to move. President Obama introduced a comprehensive jobs bill just after Labor Day, and senators failed to bring the measure to the floor for a vote. Smaller pieces of the bill were introduced and met the same fate, except for some measures to encourage hiring of veterans which passed mid-November.
Most recently, Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Rep. George Miller introduced the Pathways Back to Work Fund in the Senate and House. Originally part of President Obama's American Jobs Act, the measure would provide $2 billion for subsidized employment programs modeled on those operated under the Emergency Fund.
Congress should take a page from Connecticut's book and be reminded that putting people back to work should be a top priority and subsidized employment and training is a viable and important part of the solution.

LISTEN: Cable Barriers Coming To I-10 In N.O. East
Cable barriers will be installed in the median of an 8-mile stretch of the I-10 in New Orleans East.
The project, scheduled to begin this month, should be completed by November.
State Rep. Austin Badon of New Orleans, one of the leading proponents of the project, told WRNO's Gerry V Thursday cable barriers work and they are sorely needed in the East.
"We really need them because this is a high traffic area and we've had a proven track record of accidents there," Badon said.
The barriers will be installed on the interstate from the I-510 to the Twin Span bridges to protect motorists from crossover crashes.
The state began installing the barriers in 2008 on highways where there is a sufficient median width and a high potential for crashes.
The project was awarded to a Georgia company. It will cost $1.2 million and is fully funded by the federal government with highway safety funds.

Weird. Try configuring the interface using ifconfig and manually setting default route and DNS as opposed to doing whatever you are doing now (running "/etc/init.d/networking start" I assume). It sounds like the dhcp client (dhclient from memory) is somehow getting triggered and used for the interface configuration, so configuring things manually in the simplest and most straightforward manner possible might allow you to avoid whatever is causing this. At minimum, trying different methods of configuration may allow you to narrow down the cause of the problem.
Alternatively, you could configure the DHCP server to assign you a fixed address and the correct DNS servers, assuming you control that server.

I think that the president is in great shape with health care, unless they strike down the whole bill.
Dagestan, the biggest and most populated republic of the North Caucasus, is a place where insurgents often strike.
In short, an Israeli strike would make matters much worse for the West.
Why, you might be asking, does Israel strike Gaza in response to attacks from Sinai?
Modi has ordered his army commanders to strike back hard at the Line of Control to demonstrate Indian resolve.
If the boatmen or chair-coolies at any place strike, they all strike; there are no blacklegs.

Well, go on; four quarters, and then strike, and I shall know what time it is.
Old English strican "pass over lightly, stroke, smooth, rub," also "go, proceed" (past tense strac, past participle stricen), from Proto-Germanic *strik- (cf. Old Norse strykva "to stroke," Old Frisian strika, Middle Dutch streken, Dutch strijken "to smooth, stroke, rub," Old High German strihhan, German streichen), from PIE root *str(e)ig- "to stroke, rub, press" (see strigil).
Related to streak and stroke, and perhaps influenced in sense development by cognate Old Norse striuka. Sense of "to deal a blow" developed by early 14c.; meaning "to collide" is from mid-14c.; that of "to hit with a missile" is from late 14c. Meaning "to cancel or expunge" (as with the stroke of a pen) is attested from late 14c. An older sense is preserved in strike for "go toward."
"concentrated cessation of work by a body of employees," 1810, from verb meaning "refuse to work to force an employer to meet demands" (1768), from strike (v.). Perhaps from notion of striking or "downing" one's tools, or from sailors' practice of striking (lowering) a ship's sails as a symbol of refusal to go to sea (1768), which preserves the verb's original sense of "make level, smooth."
Baseball sense is first recorded 1841, originally meaning any contact with the ball; modern sense developed by 1890s, apparently from foul strike, which counted against the batter, and as hit came to be used for "contact with the ball" this word was left for "swing and a miss" that counts against the batter. Bowling sense attested from 1859. Meaning "sudden military attack" is attested from 1942.
The course or bearing of a structural surface, such as an inclined bed or a fault plane, as it intersects a horizontal plane. See illustration at dip.
A concerted refusal by employees in a particular business or industry to work. Its goal is usually to force employers to meet demands respecting wages and other working conditions.

Nibbida wrote:From "Bringing the Monastery Home" by Shinzen Young:"One question I struggled with early on was how to make the practice doable by anyone, without watering down its intensity. When people read accounts of traditional monastic training, the usual reaction is, "If that's what it takes to get enlightenment, I think I'll wait for a few lifetimes." And indeed it's true. Most people have neither the time nor the inclination to do intensive formal meditation practice. Why should they? Isn't there enough physical and emotional discomfort in ordinary life? Why intentionally seek it out?
But the monastery will come to each of us when we have to confront our fears, losses, compulsions and anxieties, or process the aftermath of trauma. The monastery comes to us in the form of emotional crisis, illness or injury, a phobia or a failed relationship. The question is whether we will be in a position to recognize and use it as such. If there were a way to help people maintain continuous quality meditation through intense real world challenges, anyone could experience insight and purification comparable to that of traditional renunciates' regimes.
Children are just another monastery, and an intense one at that. Every single interaction with them is an opportunity for practicing mindfulness, equanimity, compassion--toward them and towards ourselves. The goal is to have a good understanding of the techniques and some practice with them, so that when the opportunity arises, you just apply them as best you can in the moment.
It doesn't mean we're going to be perfect parents. We're still going to slip up, although less and less so over time. Children are a terrific reminder that we're not as in control of life as we like to think. But we can develop equanimity with that, or have equanimity with our lack of equanimity at times (which I like to call "meta-equanimity"). And just when you think you've got them figured out, they go and change again.
The trick is to have the mindset and some level of skill in order recognize those opportunities. Otherwise, it's too easy to just feel overwhelmed and ignore the opportunities as they pass. Opportunities don't announce themselves unfortunately. But they're just sitting there waiting for us to recognize them. The nice thing is that purification happens even when the situation doesn't go as perfectly as we might have liked it to. It's the intentional practice that matters, and that gets results over time.
It seems that you use the term "vipassana" to mean one kind of meditation technique [...] what do you think?

IRA Results
CHERRY HILL, N.J. - Competing in the national semifinals for the first time since 2006, Penn's heavyweight varsity eight finished sixth in its heat and moved on to Saturday's Petite Final. The second varsity, also competing in Friday's semifinals at the 2012 IRA Championships, was fifth in its semifinal heat.
It was a windy and overcast day on the Cooper River. The second varsity and varsity heats were pushed back nearly two hours due to weather.
The varsity matched up against the No. 2 (Brown) and No. 3 seed (Harvard) in the first heat of the semifinals as well as No. 6 Princeton, No. 8 Syracuse and No. 13 Cornell. The Quakers entered the regatta as the No. 14 seed. Brown was the clear winner at 6:17.211 and was followed by Harvard. Syracuse edged Princeton for the final advancing spot in the IRA Grand Final. Penn was about eight seconds behind Cornell and finished in 6:40.134.
The Quakers will participate in the Petite Final on Saturday morning and are guaranteed at least a 12th-place finish overall - something the Red and Blue have accomplished just twice in the last decade.
Prior to the varsity heat, the second varsity was in one of the most competitive heats of the day. There was just a seven-second difference between the top five boats in the semifinal. Cal, Wisconsin and Brown earned the Grand Final spots, while Cornell and Penn finished just a few seats back. The Quakers were just a half second behind the Big Red with a finish of 6:26.891 - which was also just three seconds behind Brown's Grand Final qualifying time.
In the Open Fours, Penn was fourth in its heat and eighth overall with a time of 7:39.174. In their heat, the Quakers fell behind a trio of Ivies in Harvard, Brown and Cornell, but topped Drexel by 11 seconds.
The second varsity will compete first on for Penn on Saturday. Its Petite Final begins at 10:30 a.m., while the varsity race is slated for 11:30 a.m.

Hi all
What I have below works good and returns all the reviews depending on the venue_id selected.
SELECT comments,
DATE_FORMAT(review_date, '%M %D %Y') AS subdir,
publisher, rating, FROM tbl_reviews WHERE venue_id='"...
Example returncomments: some comments about the venuedate: 12th dec 12rating: 4
comments: some comments about the venuedate: 13th dec 12rating: 2
and so on...
But now I need to COUNT the number of reviews for that particular venue_id.
SELECT comments,
DATE_FORMAT(review_date, '%M %D %Y') AS subdir,
publisher, rating, COUNT(venue_id) AS VenueReviewTotal FROM tbl_reviews WHERE venue_id='"...
and stops, only shows one review even if there are 15
The review count is correctVenueReviewTotal 15
What is happening, why does this happen when I introduce the COUNT function?
the technical answer: you forgot the GROUP BY clause
the let's-rethink-this answer: if you're displaying all the reviews for a given venue, why do you need to count them at the same time? can't you do that with your application language as you're printing the reviews?
alternatively, do you just want the count and not the individual reviews?
Thanks r937
do you just want the count and not the individual reviews?
I need both, basically, I just want to add a total so users can see how many reviews we have for that venue.
I'm using PHP for the display, didn't realize I could do it this way.Does it make any difference, speed, best practices?
While I was waiting I created a separate SELECT statement which seems to work, but, a lot more code, seems a bit overkill.
if you're gonna print the detailed results of a query anyway, it's a lot faster to do it with the application language
i personally don't do php, but i know there's a function for it, i think it's called mysql_num_rows()
Will look into the GROUP BY and see if I can get PHP to display the result.Thanks for the heads up.
Nice to see your still going strong r937
you can look up GROUP BY but don't use it here
just keep the "works good" query at the top of your first post
Thanks, just added the simple PHP echo, ha works a treat r937.Its good when you know how, just saved me another call to the server and reduced my SQL

VVC MOCKtail Lounge
Wanna feel like a fancy pants but choose not to drink? That's cool, that's all healthy and stuff.
Mocktails are awesome because they're more affordable than cocktails, they have less calories and are usually less sugary, and they don't give you that headachy feeling the morning after a raucous night (unless that Nojito was really a MOjito! Wuh-oh!).
Here are four diverse ideas for you to indulge in, VVC-er.
Want to drink Bailey's but because you do that whole 'vegan' thing and don't drink,alcohol think you're out of luck? Think again, mon frere.
Follow this recipe for vegan Baileys (I just made this recipe again this year and believe me, this recipe is still rad), and just omit the whiskey. Easy-peasy. Drink it on the rocks in front of your fabulous fireplace while listening to Frank Sinatra (or Seth McFarlane. Really.), or in a mug with hot cocoa. Creamy, hot and delicious. Just like you like your, ur, mocktails.
Looking for something a little spritzier,a little lighter to the step? Try a Peach Fizz. Looza is a beautiful brand of Belgian juice (If you're a Portlander, you can find it on the cheap at Grocery Outlet or on the sophisticated at PastaWorks, and if you're anywhere else, you can buy online here). Pour 1/4 cup of peach or apricot juice in a pint glass over ice. Top with soda water and serve with a squeeze of lime and a straw.
If you're feeling downright ca-raaaaaazy, check out Imbibe's recipe for Agua de Limón con Chia. Yes, that's right, it's a mocktail with CHIA SEEDS. What?!
For summertime shenanigans, try the best summer mocktail I've ever had: The Blueberry Nojito. (Recipe inspired by BridgePort BrewPub) Muddle a few leaves of mint and 2 lime wedges together in a pint glass with ice. Add 1 tablespoon simple syrup, 2 tablespoons blueberry puree, and top with soda water (or Sprite, if you like it sweeter).
And with that, beautiful non-drinkers, go forth and be merry. Get your fancy on, get your mocktail booty movin', and enjoy the wonderful world of non-alcoholic drinks (WHAAAAAT?! Yeah, I said it.)
One thought on "VVC MOCKtail Lounge"
I've been thinking for a long time now that someone needs to write a vegan-"virgin"-cocktail recipe book…. These look fabulous. Will you write the book, please? I'll buy it! Ooh, I'll be a recipe tester, too! : )

|Communique to First Nations in BC: Section 4, Heritage Conservation Act - Pilot Project
November 1, 2012
From: First Nations Leadership Council (BCAFN, FNS, UBCIC), and the First Nations representatives on the Joint Working Group on First Nations Heritage Conservation
Date: November 1, 2012
Re: Section 4, Heritage Conservation Act (HCA) – Pilot Project
In 2007, the First Nations Leadership Council (FNLC) and the Province of BC established the Joint Working Group on First Nations Heritage Conservation (JWGFNHC). The purpose of the JWGFNHC is to identify First Nations' heritage-related issues and concerns, develop options and make recommendations to:
One of the early priorities identified was the implementation of section 4 of the HCA which would provide for agreements between the Province and First Nations with respect to the conservation and protection of heritage sites and heritage objects that represent the cultural heritage of a respective First Nation. Under this section, an agreement would provide for the delegation of ministerial authority for the protection of sites. Section 4 agreements would provide effective recognition, respect, protection and conservation of First Nations cultural heritage resources that is currently not provided in the HCA and provincial system.
In 2011/12, a First Nations Heritage Action plan was endorsed by BC First Nations which called for the immediate implementation of section 4. The JWGFNHC agreed to work towards a pilot project on a section 4 agreement. It has recently become clear that the Province has been unwilling to place priority status on the advancement of the section 4 pilot project. In fact, we would like to inform all BC First Nations that the Province will not be proceeding with a section 4 pilot project as agreed to by the JWGFNHC and supported by the FNLC.
Given the years of goodwill, relationship building and research into the development and drafting of this pilot proposal it is extremely unfortunate that the Province has refused to move forward on this project. With this decision, the Province is now allowing for the continued desecration of First Nations heritage sites. The Province has been very clear that it has no plan or solutions to deal with issues arising out of the HCA or protecting First Nations sacred/cultural sites.
The FNLC and the First Nations representatives on the JWGFNHC will be disengaging from this process and will be considering a strategy forward with respect to addressing First Nations heritage issues. This strategy will be provided to First Nations Chiefs and leaders at upcoming meetings for review and consideration.
If you have any further questions or comments please don't hesitate to contact:
UBCIC is a NGO in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

If Democrat Jim Matheson's slim lead in the 4th Congressional District withstands the counting of absentee and provisional ballots, and he remains the lone blue dog in Utah's vast sea of red, some Republican insiders are already blaming Rob Bishop.
They tell me that during the redistricting process last year, when the Republican-dominated Utah Legislature manipulated the congressional districts to make all four as red as possible, some strategists wanted to put a few liberal areas of Salt Lake County in Bishop's 1st Congressional District to make the 4th and 2nd districts even more Republican in order to finally defeat the six-term Democrat.
But Bishop, they say, would not relinquish any of his precious Republican votes, which resulted in more than a 70 percent advantage for Bishop over his Democratic opponent, Donna McAleer.
Republican Mia Love lost to Matheson by fewer than 3,000 votes on election night, although there are thousands of ballots yet to be counted.
Perfect timing • The Salt Lake Tribune ran a story in its Faith section Saturday about the controversy surrounding the declared miracle at the Prophet Elias Greek Orthodox Church when an icon of Jesus was found secreting oil two years ago.
The church's priest, Father Michael Kouremetis, and the Metropolitan Isaiah, based in Denver, declared the discovery a miracle. But a custodian at the church has since come forward and said he spilled oil while filling lamps, which could account for the situation.
Here is the rest of the story. The miracle of the oil, which the priest and metropolitan still insist is true and say it has actually healed parishioners, was discovered right at the time church members were vehemently protesting the church's decision to split the congregations of the Prophet Elias Church in Holladay and the Holy Trinity Church in downtown Salt Lake City into two parishes.
There was even talk of suing the church, and several hundred members stood in protest outside the Prophet Elias Church.
But the oil settled it.
At the time, Metropolitan Isaiah wrote to Father Kouremetis, "The Lord has answered our prayers asking him to resolve the confusing situation in the Salt Lake City area regarding the two parishes."
He added, "When icons exude tears … it is a sign of caution and problems. But when an icon exudes oil, this is a sign of healing and blessings."
Positive photos only • Kris Romeril, communication specialist for the grocery cooperative Associated Food Stores, believes that a Salt Lake Tribune story about Utah lawmakers considering doubling the state sales tax on food is way too negative for the public.
When asked if a Tribune photographer could take a picture of one of Associated's Utah stores for the story, the answer was no. Same for Target.
But Marsha Gilford, spokeswoman for the Salt Lake-based Smith's Food & Drug Stores, arranged for a photo while on a trip to Reno to attend business meetings. When told about the story, Gilford had no worries. "We want your readers to see people shopping at Smith's," she said.
Speaking of faith • The day before the Nov. 6 election last week, Republican Salt Lake County Mayor candidate Mark Crockett conducted a two-hour transition meeting with his supporters to discuss how the power would be shifted from a Democratic administration after Crockett won the election.
The old-fashioned way • Democratic gubernatorial candidate Peter Cooke repeatedly tried to call Gov. Gary Herbert to concede on election night after it was apparent Herbert would win decisively.
But he couldn't get through.
He finally walked the block from the hotel where the Democrats had gathered to the hotel hosting the Republicans and conceded to Herbert in person.

Layton • The first time I drove past the Davis Conference Center, I was more than a little surprised.
There in the midst of box stores, the Layton Hills Mall and dozens of restaurants stood a striking modern building. A 147-room Hilton Garden Hotel was attached.
Curious, I wondered what group used this 85,000-square foot facility that opened in 2004. With nearby Ogden and Salt Lake City both possessing convention centers or hotels with large ballrooms, I could not imagine how this center in the midst of what is largely a suburban bedroom community could possibly be successful.
Was I ever wrong.
According to Scott Lunt, general manager of the convention center and six hotels in the area including the Hilton Garden, the facility hosts well more than 700 events a year and operates at a 70 percent capacity rate, considered high for any convention facility.
"It's purpose was to drive economic impact," explained director of operations Dave Hilliard, who said the original facility had to be doubled in size to include a new 18,000 square foot Expo Building and a second ballroom. "With a small investment in a conference center, the return is sizeable…What's exciting is that the bulk of the building is paid for out of the TRT (Transient Room Tax). People who visit us pay for it, not the people who live here."
The building cost $22 million to construct and generates about $35 million a year in economic impact.
Perhaps more important, it has become a gathering place for Davis County. In addition to big events, director of sales Connie Harmston says the facility hosts weddings, reunions, 50th anniversary celebrations, Christmas parties and Sweet 16 events. Davis County's annual September gala draws thousands to enjoy a big party and entertainment acts that in the past have included Sheena Easton or the African Children's Choir.
It also hosts trade shows, mixed martial arts fights and roller derbies.
But perhaps the conference center's most important role is its location close to Hill Air Force Base, about a half-mile away. With about 14,000 hotel rooms nearby, it hosts dozens of conferences that are military-related. In fact, about 75 percent of the motel rooms surrounding the facilities are used by people doing business with Hill Air Force Base.
While the facility has hosted a few national events, including the national ROTC civilian marksmanship competition scheduled to be held this weekend, most of its events are local and regional. It hosts four major career-oriented high school club events and a number of smaller educational oriented conferences.
The private-public mix is interesting as well. The center is owned by Davis County, the Hilton Garden is privately owned and both facilities are managed by a private management group. The facility sports its own award-winning catering company.
In touring the center, what struck me is was that it was airy and light. It was easy to picture a barbecue on an outside patio, a wedding reception in the airy solarium with views of the mountains behind it, people enjoying original art that seems to decorate the entire facility, a nice bar where patrons can enjoy an after-meeting beverage and the flexibility to hold both massive or smaller gatherings.
As someone who has planned conferences for my professional organization and attended many others, I especially thought the break stations that allow meeting planners to pay in advance and stock them with chips or provide fountain drinks were an unusual feature I had not seen before.
One unusual signature is that the building has two landmark weather towers at its entrance. Just like the Walker Center sign of old in Salt Lake City, the lights on the towers use color codes that change with the weather.
It turns out that a bedroom community such as Layton can be the home for a highly successful, bustling and successful conference center that can also serve as a gathering place for important local events.

Adele's birthday tweet sparks album speculation
Listen to Adele on iHeartRadio
Fans eager for news about Adele's next album may have found what they were looking for on the star's birthday on Monday.
The British singer turned 26, and sent out a tweet to her over 20 million followers reading, "Bye Bye 25... See you again later this year."
Bye bye 25... See you again later in the year x pic.twitter.com/HEmY14El5s
— Adele (@OfficialAdele) May 4, 2014
The tweet is being interpreted as a hint about a new album, possibly titled "25." It's been rumored to be in the works since last year. Adele's previous two albums, 19 and the best-selling 21, were both named after the age Adele was while recording them.
Very little information about Adele's much-anticipated follow-up has emerged in recent months. Ryan Tedder has confirmed working with the singer as a producer, and Phil Collins and rapper Wiz Khalifa have also spoken about spending time in the studio with Adele.

Our day began with a long drive through the wilderness we call San Salvador, entertained by a rendition of "Single Ladies," performed by our very own Dr. Phillips. Needless to say, he was well caffeinated this morning. We finally arrived at Watling's Castle which was built in the 1780s for a British Loyalist fleeing the United States. San Salvador was known as Watling's Island until the Bahamas gained its independence in 1973. Now the bare walls make for awesome group picture opportunities. Some of us took this time to perfect our rock climbing skills.
After another hot truck ride, we swam and floated in the Pigeon Creek estuary, hoping to see a juvenile lionfish and other baby fish that hide among the prop roots of the red mangrove trees. As we continued to fight the current to stand by the beach, Hannah picked up a shell from which a tiny octopus erupted! We then ate lunch in an abandoned vacation home called Ocean House.
Once again we loaded up on the truck and headed out to explore the rocky intertidal zone of Blackwood Bay. Here we flipped over large rocks and found many new, exciting organisms, including a medusa worm, peanut worms, coral crab, sea hare (a sea slug released a cloud of ink after being harassed by Sarah), and snapping shrimp.After a fantastic day, we headed into Cockburn Town (pronounced "co-burn") where we were treated to candy bars, cold drinks, and snacks by our professors. Upon arriving back to the GRC in time for dinner, a few of us were lucky enough to witness J-dub's phenomenal parallel parking skills.
Class tonight consisted of student presentations that taught us more about the fish and echinoderms of San Salvador.
6 days and counting until you see our lovely tanned selves!

He filed a complaint Wednesday in U.S. District Court in
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg called the court filing "pure fantasy." He says Calderon is lashing out after he was stripped of his committee assignments.

Kearns • The works of Dr. Seuss have inspired countless children to pick up a book and read.
Third grade students at Oquirrh Hills Elementary in Kearns celebrated Dr. Seuss Day on Friday by performing at an assembly.
Aside from the assembly, all students at the school kicked off a month of reading with the help of the United Way of Salt Lake City and JCPenney. Volunteers from JCPenney took time to read to students at Oquirrh Hills as part of the National Education Association's Read Across America initiative.
"We are doing this to celebrate literacy and get the students excited about reading," said Karen Marberger, principal at Oquirrh Hills. "The third grade has been doing this assembly for the past three years."
The third-grade students who performed in the assembly took the opportunity to sing and dance and even talk about which Dr. Seuss book is their favorite. Students such as Kylie Sharples and Ariana Garvoille dressed up to perform their parts.
Kylie dressed up as the Cat in the Hat and admitted to feeling some nerves before the performance but has caught on to reading Dr. Seuss books.
"I feel like when I read it just makes me smarter and getting better in school," Kylie said.
Singing and dancing made the assembly fun for Ariana, and reading is becoming enjoyable for the 9-year-old. "I like reading Dr. Seuss and mystery books," Ariana said. "I like to use my imagination and put myself in the books while I am reading."
Throughout the entire month of March, Oquirrh Hills students will receive extra incentive for reading, as there will be trivia questions to answer for prizes for individuals. Classrooms also will tally up the number of pages read to compete for a prize as a class in hopes to spark more interest in reading.
Trudy Adams, who is literacy coach and professional learning specialist at Oquirrh Hills, hopes the students will find the fun in reading through events like this.
"I hope for more interest in reading and I would like to think that this event will help," Adams said.
As the community learning coordinator at Oquirrh Hills, Stephanie Linton is responsible to contact outside agencies like the employees from JCPenney to help be resources for learning for the students. Linton said having volunteers come to school can only help with the learning process.
"The kids always like to see new faces during school," Linton said. "It also helps to see people that are successful workers that have an education to help set a good example."
Kindergarten teacher Hannah Green has seen more excitement from her students about reading this year.
"This year is going to be more exciting than in years past because I think the students are really getting into it," Green said. "All of the kids love Dr. Seuss books, especially the books that are made into movies, so it makes them easy to read."

First, you can try talking to the creditor to see if he or she is willing to work out a payment plan with you. Remind the creditor that you want to pay but that you just do not have the money to pay it all at once. The creditor may decide he or she would rather have some money a little at a time than nothing at all.
If you work something out, make sure all the details are in writing. The agreement should include due dates, grace periods (if any), if and how interest will accrue, where you should send the payments, what form of payment will be accepted, and who you should make the payments to. Make sure you keep detailed records and proof of your payments.
If the other side does not agree to a payment plan, you can try asking the court for one.
Note: This option affects the interest because it may stop all interest from accumulating until the entire judgment is paid off. So if you have questions about how a payment plan can affect you, talk to a lawyer or the small claims advisor. Click for help finding a lawyer.
If the court gave you permission to pay the judgment in installments (a payment plan) and you stop paying or never made any payments, the creditor can ask the court that the payment plan be canceled and that the entire balance become due. If this happens, you have the right to respond to the creditor's request and explain your side of the story. You MUST do this within 10 days of getting notice in the mail that the creditor has made the request.
This is what will happen:
