Top Invention in Health Science at AU
Top HeadlinesDate: December 31, 2004
Contact: email@example.com
Website: http://www.conenhill.com
While it might never be a desirable experience, future blood tests should be a significantly less threatening ordeal for all hemophobes, thanks to the work of Gunnar Lovhoiden, assistant professor of engineering at Andrews University, whose PhD project was recently highlighted in the November 29, 2004 issue of Time Magazine as one of the year's top inventions in health science.
While a doctoral student at the University of Tennessee College of Health Science Engineering in Memphis, Tenn., Lovhoiden worked with Herbert D. Zemen, associate professor of biomedical engineering and radiology, to successfully design a device that enables medical professionals to detect usable veins in 94% of all difficult intravenous cases. The device, named OnTarget, beams infrared light into a patient's skin, utilizing the differing absorption properties of veins and surrounding tissue to create a real time "map" of the sub dermal region. This image is then captured, processed, and projected back onto the patient's skin, showing precisely where blood vessels lie. OnTarget is already sending shockwaves through the bioengineering community, and Lovhoiden now sits as a minority shareholder on the Board of Directors for Conenhill, a company seeking to produce commercial units of the device.

BALTIMORE (AP) Corey Kluber struck out nine in seven innings, and the Cleveland Indians beat former teammate Ubaldo Jimenez and the Baltimore Orioles 9-0 Saturday for their fifth win in six games.
Carlos Santana homered and walked three times for the Indians, who took control with a five-run fifth and pulled away by scoring four in the seventh.
Kluber (5-3) became the first pitcher in the majors this season to have five straight outings with at least eight strikeouts. He gave up five hits, walked two and did not allow a runner past second base.
Kluber is 3-0 with a 2.02 ERA and 48 strikeouts in five starts this month.
In this one, the right-hander dominated an offense that had produced 38 runs and 62 hits in its previous five games.
Jimenez (2-6) matched zeroes with Kluber until the fifth inning, when the first-year Oriole was pulled without getting an out. Jimenez tied two undesirable season highs, giving up five runs and walking five, in four-plus innings.
The right-hander spent 2 1/2 seasons with Cleveland before signing a $50 million, four-year contract with Baltimore in February.
Jimenez struck out three and walked three in the first two innings, keeping the Indians hitless but using 52 pitches to do so. He faced the minimum six batters over the next two innings, allowing an infield single to Michael Bourn before getting Michael Brantley to hit into a double play.
Then came the fifth inning, when seven batters reached before Baltimore got an out.
A walk, two singles and a throwing error by second baseman Jonathan Schoop produced the game's first run, and a single by Mike Aviles made it 2-0 and chased Jimenez. T.J. McFarland entered with the bases loaded and hit Brantley with a pitch to force in a run, and Lonnie Chisenhall followed with an RBI single. The final run of the inning scored on a double-play grounder.
In the seventh, Brantley singled and Chisenhall doubled before Ryan Raburn hit a two-run double. One out later, Santana hit reliever Brad Brach's first pitch over the right-field wall.
NOTES: Before the game, the Orioles acquired C Nick Hundley (and cash considerations) from San Diego for LHP Troy Patton. Baltimore also recalled INF Steve Lombardozzi from Triple-A Norfolk. ... Orioles 3B Manny Machado missed a second straight game with a strained groin, but manager Buck Showalter said Machado was available if needed. ... Cleveland's Asdrubal Cabrera and Nick Swisher were both rested for a second consecutive game because of sore knees. ... Trevor Bauer (1-1, 2.25 ERA) goes for Cleveland in the series finale against Baltimore's Miguel Gonzalez (2-3, 4.53). ... Brantley threw out Steve Clevenger trying to stretch a single for his major league high sixth outfield assist. Brantley also extended his hitting streak to 10 games. ... Baltimore fell to 5-12 in day games, the worst record in the big leagues.

Peter Lord and longtime collaborator David Sproxton founded Aardman Animations together in 1972 and have presided over it ever since, gradually building it into a mini-empire for model animation. A large part of that growth can be credited to director Nick Park, who was hired as a part-time animator in 1985 while working on his student film, A Grand Day Out. The first in an immensely popular series featuring a cheese-loving inventor named Wallace and his sophisticated dog Gromit, A Grand Day Out was one of two Park films to receive Academy Award nominations for Best Animated Short in 1990; the other, Creature Comforts, earned him a well-deserved Oscar. He won two more with the successive entries in the Wallace & Gromit series, 1993's The Wrong Trousers and 1995's A Close Shave. Aardman's success in the animation world was again confirmed the next year, when Lord received his second Oscar nomination for the dialogue-free Wat's Pig. After a long resistance to Hollywood, Aardman signed a five-picture deal with Dreamworks for a reported $250 million. Co-directed by Park and Lord, their first feature-length project, Chicken Run, is a wonderfully elaborate goof on The Great Escape with Mel Gibson providing the voice of a brash American rooster who aids a flock of chickens in their plan to fly the coop. Park and Lord recently spoke to The Onion A.V. Club about Chicken Run, the animation process, and Aardman's future.
The Onion: [to Peter Lord] What did you have in mind for Aardman Animations when you started it?
Peter Lord: When we first started it, I suppose we were ambitious to do well. But I would have never dreamt anything like our success now, because the world of animation was so different back then. My ambition simply was to make money out of animation and make a career out of it. That was really as far as we ever hoped to go. There were only two of us at the time, myself and Dave Sproxton, and I never thought I'd ever walk into a studio with lots of people and lots of stuff, with a marketing department and a human-resources department. [Laughs.] I just thought we'd make films and bring in just enough to continue doing so. In Britain at the time, we were making five-minute shorts for kids, and doing a series like that was about as far as we'd imagined it would go.
O: Was there a unified idea about what kind of animation would be coming out of Aardman?
PL: Since it was just the two of us, it was really simple. Back in those days, the ambitions were very modest. But then we discovered Plasticine animation and found out how fun it was and how expressive it was. So, as the company became financially viable and started growing, I got to be ambitious and have this image of a whole stable of artists doing a range of projects. Not necessarily unified, though, because I thought we could be a home for all kinds of animators with different styles and visions.
O: [to Nick Park] When you were finishing A Grand Day Out, you were working part-time at Aardman. In what capacity?
Nick Park: I was working on whatever Aardman had, really. At first, it was a Channel 4 film called Babylon, which hasn't really seen the light of day for a long time. [Laughs.] Also, we were starting to get more into commercials, which I really enjoyed doing. Then there was this little character called Morph that Pete created that used to be our bread and butter back in the early days, sort of the British equivalent of Gumby. Morph is a little actor, really, that performs on this artist's desk, and I used to help out with that sometimes. We had him play around with pencils and paints and that kind of thing. He was really great fun to do. And then, the video for [Peter Gabriel's] "Sledgehammer" came along and I was one of the people who worked on that. But it was a great arrangement for me, because I was able to finish my own college film [A Grand Day Out] at the same time. It took me seven years to finally complete it.
O: They were pleased enough with the film to give you the degree?
NP: Yeah, they did. I think they did, anyway. [Laughs.] I went back something like eight or nine years after I started the course. I was the longest-running student at the National Film & Television School.
PL: And all your teachers had died by then, right? [Laughs.]
O: Considering the very subtle changes you need to make for expressions in 3-D animation, how do you assure that the animation remains consistent in a project as large as Chicken Run?
NP: That's one of the biggest challenges. Three or four years ago, I would have never thought this could work. As Pete said, Aardman has been this umbrella for people to work, but everybody has always been very individual and kept their own style. So, for a project like this one, the animators are asked to work in one style. But at the end of A Close Shave, we started to perfect a technique that was going to help lots of different people work in the same style and save a lot of time sculpting in front of the camera, as well. For Wallace, we pre-made these mouths to express each vowel and each consonant. I think we ended up with a set of about 20 mouths that were pressed out of Plasticine molds. We used this technique extensively on Chicken Run, where we had all these sets of beaks with teeth in them. And that helped keep the chickens looking the same. But I remember starting A Close Shave: There were more animators than ever working on that one, and they were all put through Wallace & Gromit lessons, where they learned how to move the brows and the eyes and the mouths. We did that even more on Chicken Run. Every Monday night, we had workshops so everyone would handle the characters in the same way.
O: What was the division of labor between the two of you throughout the shooting?
NP: We split the movie pretty much in two. This was made easy by the fact that we both originated the story idea together and kicked it around for about a year. We had our pet scenes we wanted to do, but after that, we did roughly alternate scenes.
PL: I think it divided into something like 25 scenes a piece, maybe more. One scene might be 30 seconds and another might be four minutes. We kind of reckoned that any slight differences in our approach—which, God knows, were inevitable—would be covered up by the differences in the mood of the scenes we were shooting.
O: What would a typical day on the set be like?
PL: Like hell. [Laughs.] Imagine you're in Dante's Inferno and you have some idea. No, actually, it was mainly pleasure. Nick and I would arrive in the morning, and the first thing we'd do is watch the dailies from the previous day, see what they look like projected and then try to cut them into the reel. That was often the worst part of the day, because then you'd have to go through the agonizing decision as to whether the scenes you shot were good enough to keep. And if they weren't good enough, you had to negotiate to get them reshot, which always caused great dismay amongst the whole production, because a reshoot is some days' work lost. So the first part of the day was always very stressful. Then, once you got past that stretch, you had to go down to the studio floor and spend the morning directing the sets. At worst, there would be 15 sets each to worry about, and to be honest, you didn't have to work with all of them every day, but you'd easily visit 10 or so. One set may be in the middle of a shot, so there isn't terribly much to say. Another may be just starting a shot, so there's everything to say—about the performance, lighting, camera moves, set dressing, everything. Some may be rehearsing, some may be going for the final takes, some may be just doing blocking, and some you'd get to and they hadn't even started. So all the things that film directors do, Nick and I would do, but all overlapping. For example, you could be looking after two sets at the same time, and two different animators are working on two shots that have to be cut together. Sometimes the second shot would be starting before the first shot, and keeping track of all that would get really mind-boggling. Then, in the afternoon, we'd work on selecting voice takes from the actors, who had done maybe 30 takes of a line, and try to edit the picture from there.
O: Considering the amount of planning that goes into each shot, is it difficult to add little individual touches as you go along?
NP: [Plasticine animation] is a technique that's perfect for improvisation. It's usually a contradictory thing when you speak of animation to talk of improv, but with this technique, it happens, and I think it's because it's really a performance in front of the camera. You have your camera, you have your puppet, and your animator knows the intention of the shot, but there are so many ways you can carry it out. So it's like any other performance. You may know you've got to keep the shot within three seconds, and it may take you a whole day to do, say, a second and a half, but you have so many opportunities throughout that day to change your mind on how the shot goes. And ideas come to you, because you've got all that time. With drawn animation, it's like you're creating a more sophisticated flip-book, so you've got to look through your drawings and keep going back and adjusting. And with computers, you can keep changing the animation and layering it. You don't have that chance here. Here, you've got a puppet and you're just working forward, and if it doesn't quite deliver, you start again from the beginning. You really live in the moment, like an actor would on a stage. Each day is a singular performance.
O: How does the stop-motion process figure into how you conceive a character?
PL: It does affect it in a certain way. The conventional answer to that would be to say that our chickens were totally crazy, because in stop-motion, one of the things you have to fight is gravity. Our characters are basically standing on a table on their own two feet. So if a student came to me, I would say, "Young man, give your character big feet. Very big feet and thick legs and a little body." [Laughs.] Because that would be easier to animate. And our chickens have huge, round bodies and little thin legs and these spindly four-toed feet, which don't lie flat. So we defied the conventional wisdom of stop-frame animation. With Plasticine animation, you've got specific rules, because Plasticine is flexible modeling material which you can damage with ease. The chickens have textured and colored feather patterns on them and feathery bottoms, but you couldn't touch them, because every time you did, they'd all squidge together. So the puppets had to be built in a special way to allow us to touch them and move them around while still keeping their structural integrity. But the important part is the face, because that's where all the acting takes place. And that's actually technically quite simple, because it's just Plasticine. There are lots of different ways of designing that, but we've kind of developed this style with the eyes right together in the middle and a big wide mouth, just because that plays well. People find that incredibly funny for some reason. Just the still image makes them laugh, so we have to go along with that.
O: What are your feelings on the Internet as a pipeline for Aardman shorts?
PL: We just started with it. We've got a character called Angry Kid that we put on Atom Films. It was almost targeted for that kind of distribution, really. We had a young guy at work named Darren Walsh who had this idea for Angry Kid, and he just wanted to do one-minute films, nothing more. That's very hard to sell for conventional TV, so we thought we'd try it on the Internet. For us, it's an interesting experiment, but the big question is, in two years, will it have paid off financially? I'm not quite sure how the money will work out.
O: Are the two of you going to continue working on shorts, or is it just features from here?
NP: Well, Aardman has a deal to do four more features for Dreamworks. There's one on the way we're working on right now, tentatively called The Tortoise And The Hare, and then we've got a Wallace & Gromit feature after that. So we have those features, but I still think we're always going to be quite eclectic and do different things at the same time. While Chicken Run was being made, we were still doing kids' shows and TV commercials.
PL: The nice thing about shorts is that you're hoping the next great idea is going to come up that way. It's like a training ground where animators can learn to be directors and learn graphic styles and that kind of thing. Plus, in the short form, if you have a bad idea, at least it doesn't take up a lot of screen time. [Laughs.]

Typhoons, natural disasters, and even terrible diagnoses are not God�s will, although they occur all too often. When they do, we will ask the inevitable �why?� In the face of that unanswerable question, our incarnate God weeps alongside of us as we struggle to make meaning and to live with the consequences of these tragedies.
Last Friday, the enormous typhoon Haiyan crashed into the Philippine islands wreaking devastation and havoc, death, displacement, and trauma, now and for many years to come.
How shall we respond? What may we articulate about it theologically? It would be easy to blame God for everything bad that happens to us, to lay it at God�s feet. If we do that too quickly, then we might not struggle for another answer to the suffering and injustice of disaster upon innocent human beings.
One third of the Psalms are human prayers that hold the Holy one accountable, lamenting to God about the state of the world and human life, and ultimately reminding God to be present in situations of need. The Psalms of lament may be a model for us in these days of tragedy on behalf of our Pilipino brothers and sisters.
God�s will was not done in the Philippines. God did not control or guide the winds and the ocean to that island. God is not in control of human beings, nor of this world that we live in. It is true that God has the final word, in Jesus, in the victory of the resurrection. But the final victory is yet to come, and in the meantime between the already and not yet of God�s sovereign victory in Jesus, God�s power is not the same as control. The power of love is what God offers. It is the unique power in which God comes alongside us as we live. God�s promise in Christ is not to protect us from tragedy but to be with us in and through all of our hardships. God promises to bring something beautiful from the ugliness of devastation, but the potential for growth is not the reason for suffering. The assertion that all tragedy is God�s wrath for human sin also misses the mark.
Many young adults � among others � leave the church because �it is God�s will� is a hurtful and insufficient answer to suffering and pain. They worry about theodicy and God�s justice.
Although we cannot know the cause, or the solution of suffering, it is our faithful responsibility to struggle with the questions on behalf of those who suffer. We do know that human beings have impacted our global atmosphere. We know to assist and feel for those who suffer. We know to pray. We know that God is good and does not desire the death of God�s creatures. We know that God is love and that love is enough.
I, too, want to know how God is involved in human suffering. Greek philosophy, as it impacted Christian theology, marked God as impassive � not capable of feeling. The Incarnation of Jesus, and his suffering, death, and resurrection, shows a God who understands � by way of experience � all human suffering. God suffers for and with us. God would protect us if God were able. God would control us, but is unwilling. God would desire better for the human race than what we have created for ourselves. I am certain that God weeps for us and individual suffering, for our world, for the Pilipino people, and for God�s own broken heart.

The LevelDB store has been deprecated and is no longer supported or recommended for use. The recommended store is KahaDB
The Replicated LevelDB Store uses Apache ZooKeeper to pick a master from a set of broker nodes configured to replicate a LevelDB Store. Then synchronizes all slave LevelDB Stores with the master keeps them up to date by replicating all updates from the master.
The Replicated LevelDB Store uses the same data files as a LevelDB Store, so you can switch a broker configuration between replicated and non replicated whenever you want.
Version Compatibility
Available as of ActiveMQ 5.9.0.
How it works.
Shoes Running Blue Timp Altra Women's Trail wfaFnq6
It uses Apache ZooKeeper to coordinate which node in the cluster becomes the master. The elected master broker node starts and accepts client connections. The other nodes go into slave mode and connect the the master and synchronize their persistent state /w it. The slave nodes do not accept client connections. All persistent operations are replicated to the connected slaves. If the master dies, the slaves with the latest update gets promoted to become the master. The failed node can then be brought back online and it will go into slave mode.
All messaging operations which require a sync to disk will wait for the update to be replicated to a quorum of the nodes before completing. So if you configure the store with
When a new master is elected, you also need at least a quorum of nodes online to be able to find a node with the lastest updates. The node with the lastest updates will become the new master. Therefore, it's recommend that you run with at least 3 replica nodes so that you can take one down without suffering a service outage.
Deployment Tips
Clients should be using the Failover Transport to connect to the broker nodes in the replication cluster. e.g. using a URL something like the following:
You should run at least 3 ZooKeeper server nodes so that the ZooKeeper service is highly available. Don't overcommit your ZooKeeper servers. An overworked ZooKeeper might start thinking live replication nodes have gone offline due to delays in processing their 'keep-alive' messages.
For best results, make sure you explicitly configure the hostname attribute with a hostname or ip address for the node that other cluster members to access the machine with. The automatically determined hostname is not always accessible by the other cluster members and results in slaves not being able to establish a replication session with the master.
You can configure ActiveMQ to use LevelDB for its persistence adapter - like below :
Replicated LevelDB Store Properties
All the broker nodes that are part of the same replication set should have matching
Different replication sets can share the same
The following configuration properties can be unique per node:
The store also supports the same configuration properties of a standard LevelDB Store but it does not support the pluggable storage lockers :
Standard LevelDB Store Properties
The LevelDB store does not yet support storing data associated with Delay and Schedule Message Delivery. Those are are stored in a separate non-replicated KahaDB data files. Unexpected results will occur if you use Delay and Schedule Message Delivery with the replicated leveldb store since that data will be not be there when the master fails over to a slave.

Teaching to learn outside the box
It takes the courage of your convictions to follow a less-travelled path with your children, especially when it comes to something as fundamental as primary education.
Traditionally, children in Ireland have gone to their nearest national school – the vast majority run by the Catholic Church, some by the minority churches.
In the 1970s, when a group of parents in south Dublin were determined to set up an alternative to denominational schools, the ground-breaking Dalkey School Project was opened after much fundraising. This was a fore-runner in the Educate Together movement, which has been a significant force in the ongoing diversification of patronage among the State's 3,300 national schools.
But outside the national school system, what other options are there for primary age children and why would parents choose them? After all, independence comes at a high price for primary schools because, unlike their private secondary counterparts, they get no funding at all, so the fees for parents are significant.
Aside from "prep" schools and junior sections of big private schools, we look at some more unusual choices and ask parents why they want a different system of learning for their children.
What is it?The aim of Steiner-Waldorf education is to educate the whole child, "head, heart and hands", and to produce creative thinkers who have a love of learning.
The Steiner curriculum is designed according to age and balances artistic and physical activities with the academic side. A lot of learning is done outdoors, observing plants, animals and landscape.
The big difference from the State system is that learning to read is deferred until the age of six. Not pushing children to read early, Steiner advocates argue, helps to avoid problems such as dyslexia.
Where is it available?The independent Kildare Steiner School in Dunlavin has 16 pupils in its primary school and another 16 in its kindergarten (ages three to six). Two Steiner schools in Co Clare, Mol an Óige in Ennistymon and Raheen Wood, have been recognised as national schools in September 2008 and are now State funded. Both take a "Steiner approach" to the national primary curriculum.
The Kildare school watched this development with interest but has not applied to join the State system. "We don't want to compromise our ethos or our values," says teacher Gale Pullen. There are also practical problems, such as the fact that their teachers' international Steiner qualifications would not be recognised.
Fees at the Kildare school are €3,780 a year for class three and €4,500 for classes four to six.
A teacher says:We are not interested in filling children with facts, explains Gale Pullen. The emphasis is on drawing out of the child, an individual, creative response to information received.
Her colleague in Kildare, Dorly O'Sullivan, says they get some children for whom conventional schooling has not worked. "When those children come here, they breathe out and blossom."
A parent's view:Mark Reid and his wife, Cliona Kelliher, moved house so that their children could attend a Steiner school. Their eldest daughter, Síomha, now aged 17, started at a Steiner kindergarten, Springhall, in Tallaght but if she was to continue this system into primary school, the nearest option was in Co Kildare.
"We had no home – myself and Síomha actually lived in campervan for six months while our house was being built."
His wife and their younger daughter, Iseult, now aged 11 and in fifth class at the Kildare Steiner school, remained in Dublin until their new home was ready.
The positivity of the Steiner system is what appealed to Reid, a librarian, when choosing it. "Education is sometimes seen as a punishment and in Steiner schools they don't see it like that, they see it as something to enjoy."
What about the transition to secondary level?This is a question everybody asks, says Reid, whose eldest daughter is now in Cross Passion College in Kilcullen, Co Kildare. He believes Steiner children are better equipped than many of their peers to make the transition. "They are interactive learners and used to doing project work," he points out. "And they love learning."
O'Sullivan says the one thing that can be difficult initially is going from a small to a big school but that would apply to many national schools. Steiner pupils are very well liked by secondary-level teachers, she adds, and the pupils themselves have not reported any difficulty adjusting to the academic side.
What is it?Most parents are familiar with the idea of Montessori education for pre-school children but it doesn't have to stop at the age of five. However, the high teacher-pupil ratio and extent of materials required means this approach to education, in its purest form, is not viable within the State sector.
"From concrete into abstract" is the philosophy underpinning the Montessori method, devised by the Italian educator Maria Montessori. Children are provided with hands-on learning materials for everything they do, to help them better understand concepts.
The focus is on building children's own interests and giving them freedom to choose what they want to do. Another key feature of Montessori schools is multi-age classrooms.
Older children reinforce their own learning by helping younger children; it also fosters a spirit of co-operation rather than competition.
Where is it available?St Nicholas Montessori School in Dún Laoghaire, Co Dublin, opened in 1980 and shares facilities with the Montessori teacher training college of the same name. It is divided into the traditional age groupings of: three-six (two classes), six-nine (one class) and nine-12 (one class), with a teacher-pupil ratio of one to nine. The fees are €3,350 a year for ages four to 12.
Other Montessori primary schools include: The Children's House in Stillorgan, Co Dublin; Wicklow Montessori in Ballyguile; and The Glebe in Celbridge, Co Kildare.
A teacher says:The Montessori system is tailored to suit the child, and children work individually at their own pace – some slower, some faster, explains Noreen Tierney, principal of St Nicholas school. "There is no 'all open page 84'."
The school's Montessori curriculum "embraces" the State's primary school curriculum. The children also all do French.
A parent's view: Gary Holohan's two sons, aged 10 and seven, have been in St Nicholas since they were three. Montessori education is a great way for kids to learn, he says. "It is teaching them to learn rather than teaching them facts."
The teacher's role is to give the children a structure in which to learn and provide them with materials to do that. By coaching and supporting children, teachers bring out the best in each child. Quoting WB Yeats, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." Holohan says that he sees how the Montessori method does this with his sons. "It sparks their interest and they love to learn."
What about the transition to secondary level?Tierney says that the system gives children self-confidence and, because they are used to working independently, they have no problem making the transition.
Holohan knows his sons will have to adapt to a new way of learning at secondary school but he is heartened by proposed changes in the Junior Cert and Leaving Cert to more continuous assessment, which is more aligned with the Montessori way of doing things.
"I don't think the transition will be as difficult as maybe I thought it was going to be when they started."
What is it?The international baccalaureate (IB) is a worldwide programme of education from the age of three to 19. The curriculum is inquiry-based, driven by concepts rather than content.
Its diploma programme was first developed in Switzerland in the 1960s as a standardised way of educating and assessing pupils aged 16-19 across different countries; the middle-years and primary years programmes followed.
Where is it available?The International School Dublin (ISD) in Blackrock is the only place in Ireland to offer IB at primary level. (St Andrew's College in Booterstown offers the diploma programme.) It has 55 students aged three to 12. Its integrated curriculum knits the standard primary school subjects together into themes. Fees are €8,200 a year.
A teacher says:It not only gives children an international perspective to their education but also focuses on how to be a learner. ISD principal Sarah Pepper explains: "I am not delivering them facts but how they will best learn what they want to know."
As well as ex-pat families looking for an IB school, the school is also chosen by Irish parents who are either disillusioned with the standard school system or who have international connections – or at least an international outlook.
"They perceive that by the time their children are leaving school it will be more than likely that they will be moving abroad for a job or working with people from other countries," says Pepper.
A parent's view:The first choice of primary school for Hazel Cullen's daughter, now aged seven, was an Educate Together school.
"We had her name down but missed the boat." As agnostic parents they did not want their daughter going to a Catholic school and settled on the International School Dublin as somewhere that would give her "a big picture" education.
She sees how her daughter has developed inquiry skills, "so she can continually learn about how her decisions and behaviour affects her group, her community and the world". And they like the warm family vibe about the school.
It is a "huge struggle" to pay the fees, Cullen adds, but "we are willing to take the hit because she is very happy there and we are happy with it".
What about the transition to secondary level?Children move on to secondary schools both here and abroad without any problem, says Pepper. Irish history and culture are taught at the school.
"They are not living in an ex-pat bubble," she stresses.
The second language in the school is Spanish but it offers additional classes in Irish.
What is it?Under the Constitution, parents have a right to educate their children at home. They must register with the National Educational Welfare Board, which will send out an assessor to make sure they are providing "a certain minimum education" for their child. Some home-schooling families follow set hours and a curriculum, others favour a more informal fostering of a child's interests and talents.
Why choose it for a child?Parents who home-school from the outset are those who want to take responsibility for everything to do with raising their child, says Ciara Webster of the Home Education Network (Hen).
Others decide to do it only after their children have had difficulties with the school system.
"For them it is the biggest struggle because they would have always seen school as the way to go," she says. "It is a difficult choice in many ways because it can be quite fear-filled and society is quite judgmental."
Where is it available?In your own home – provided you have the time and energy to commit to your child's education. Hen ( heneire.org) is a supportive, social network for home-schoolers.
A parent's view:Neither of Webster's daughters, Clara (13) and Aoibh (9), have been to school, although Clara attended a pre-school.
One of the reasons Webster chose to educate them at home in Taghmon, Co Wexford, was because of her experience helping her nephew with his homework, which would take one or two hours. "I just remember feeling very frustrated and thinking that if I had this time with him to do whatever we wanted . . . what we could have done, instead of wading through this quagmire of stuff."
She and her daughters don't follow a structured day. "We have a few things that I really try to get them to do most days, which would be maths, Spanish and they do their instruments – Aoibh plays the piano and violin, Clara does piano and cello."
She doesn't see the role of tutor and parent as separate but admits that when Clara went through a phase of really hating maths, "I remember thinking it would be much better if she hated her teacher."
Her daughters go to outside classes, such as drama and Irish dancing, where they make friends, and they also socialise with other home-educated families.
Like every parent, Webster says she has moments when she wonders, is she doing the best for her children? "Are they going to come back to me and say 'what did you do that for?' You have those fears no matter what you do."
What about the transition to secondary level?When Clara reached secondary school age they reviewed the situation but decided to continue at home.
"At the moment we are still thinking of sending her in for fifth and sixth year, to do her Leaving, and she is interested in that. But a lot of home-schooled children don't do their Leaving." Do her children feel different to other children? "I think they do," says Webster, before passing that question on to her daughters.
"In a good way, depending on the person," says Clara, adding that some school kids she likes and others she doesn't.

Climbing Mount Whitney With Kids
A family takes the challenging Mountaineer's Route up the California peak
IN THE GULLY just above 13,000 feet in the shadow of Mount Whitney's East Buttress, the ground can be unnervingly shifty. Picture walking on marbles, then pool balls and eventually basketballs.
Elliot, my 10-year-old daughter, isn't a kid I'd describe as having careful feet.
"Rock!" Elliot screamed as she accidentally dislodged a bowling-ball-size granite chunk, sending it careening down the scree field we were slowly ascending. Visions of someone's ankle being crushed by a boulder spun through my head. We'd started that day's hike as the first sliver of pink light cracked the navy sky, so it was doubtful anyone else was within striking range—but I still told Elliot the story of the climber who was killed in Wyoming in 2007 when a man thoughtlessly tossed a large rock off a ridge.
Towering to 14,494 feet, Mount Whitney, in eastern California, is a behemoth of a mountain, even compared with the other grand peaks comprising the Sierra Nevada range. When you are standing on a ridgeline gazing down at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, the world's tallest trees look like the miniatures children use to make scenery for model train sets.
" I whispered to my husband that I feared we'd overreached. "
But here we were, two couples and their preadolescent kids, on a three-day trek to the top of the highest peak in the continental U.S. and back down—an exercise that some parents would consider nuts.
The plan to tackle Mount Whitney had started with our former neighbor Ben, a boy with whom Elliot had climbed trees daily until we moved across town. Ben's mother is on the board of the national nonprofit Big City Mountaineers, which works to bring low-income kids out into nature and runs "Summit for Someone" fundraising climbs up classic peaks. Ben wanted to do one. Elliot was his choice companion.
With my husband and me as parents, our children haven't really had the option to be anything but intrepid. By age 8, Elliot had rappelled down cliffs in Thailand and floated down a river in Yangshuo, China, on a questionable bamboo raft. We've thrown our kids into challenging situations, believing that these experiences help build tenacity and resilience—and figuring that kids will generally be game unless you cue them to be otherwise.
But even by our standards, this climb was a stretch. Ascending more than 6,000 feet from the trailhead to the top, which translates to roughly 20 hours of hiking over three days, is serious mountaineering. That is before you factor in having to use a special bag as a bathroom, because waste doesn't decompose readily above the tree line.
I hesitated, picturing Elliot's tiny frame buckling under a humongous backpack. But I want my daughter to have a tank of inner confidence, filled with her personal accomplishments. Slog, discomfort and a little treachery are critical components of any epic trip. Freeze-dried beef stroganoff, shifty boulder fields and even poop sacks are the things that make adventures feel adventurous.
So, last summer, we drove to the town of Lone Pine, at the east end of California's Sierras. The surrounding foothills, which lead to the base of Whitney, are famous for all the shoot-'em-up westerns filmed there. At bedtime in our hotel, Elliot started worrying that she wouldn't make it to the top. After she nodded off, I whispered to my husband in the dark that I feared we'd overreached.
The morning was a blur of stuffing and restuffing, cramming rain gear, down coats, fleece layers, sleeping bags and food sacks into our packs, hoping to achieve balance and avoid having a water bottle jutting into the ribs. At the trailhead, our hired guide, Kurt Wedberg, made us practice pressure breathing, blowing out hard through pursed lips, which he recommended we do as we walked, to ease the effects of the high altitude.
"What's wrong with your toes?" blurted Elliot, as she looked at Kurt's sandaled feet. They were frostbitten from waiting at the Hillary Step on Mount Everest, he explained, at which point I knew she'd be hanging on his every word.
The path we had chosen—the Mountaineer's Route—was pioneered by John Muir in the 1870s. It's very steep—only 5 miles each direction instead of the conventional way's 11—and therefore less crowded. Moreover, this approach provides more variable terrain (and doesn't involve the 97 switchbacks of the straightforward route), making the journey feel more like mountaineering and less like plodding.
Setting out, Kurt put both kids up front to keep them moving. With her pack teetering above her 4-foot-3 frame, Elliot jumped from rock to rock across Lone Pine Creek and pushed through the overgrowth frequently blocking the trail. Emerging from the dense Aspen grove at 9,600 feet, we hit the Ebersbacher Ledges, an infamous system of narrow shelves ascending in a step pattern across a sheer rock wall. Kurt offered to take our packs across; Elliot and Ben insisted they could wear theirs and manage the footing critical to avoid a potentially fatal fall. It was true that there was ample width if they paid attention and hugged the rock, but the valley floor was still hundreds of feet down. I wasn't as freaked out about the kids as I should have been—I was distracted by my own fear of heights. Yet Elliot traversed without drama, feeling out tiny rock features she needed to balance herself, a technique she learned in rock climbing lessons.
The day ended at Upper Boy Scout Lake, a placid high-alpine lake just above 11,000 feet. We put up tents; the adults ducked inside immediately, desperate to nap. Elliot and Ben sprinted to the freezing water and jumped in, then climbed up and down some nearby rock outcroppings. "Come see these bouldering routes!" Elliot yelled to me. Ugh. I couldn't move.
It was pitch black when my husband's watch beeped 5 a.m. the next morning. Elliot and Ben, windbreaker hoods pulled tight, had already finished their cocoa and were into their oatmeal when I crawled out of the tent. Fifteen minutes later we were heading straight up the nearby talus field, beginning what Kurt billed as a 10-hour day. We maneuvered through the rocks and downed trees to Iceberg Lake, which looked magical ringed by soaring granite walls.
From there we began a trying two-hour push up the Mountaineer's chute—a gully that had gathered centuries of rockfall and avalanche debris—aiming for a narrow notch where we'd cross onto the ridgeline below the final steep pitch to the top. In the high altitude, we were all sucking for air with each step.
Just past the crest of the gully, we tucked into a protected, sunny spot and dropped our packs. Kurt popped open a can of oysters, and offered one to Elliot. She didn't hesitate, deeming the odd mountain snack "really good." A 400-foot wall of precariously stacked rocks as big as cars stood between us and the top. Elliot craned her neck, trying to follow the stone puzzle to the summit. "Is this where we put on ropes?" she asked. She'd been anticipating the rock-climbing section requiring harnesses and ropes for the whole trip. All spring, actually.
The Class 3 climbing section didn't disappoint. The rating means that both hands are required on the rock, and that there can be stomach-turning drop-offs. We roped up in family groups. Elliot was in front of me, carefully keeping the line taut, but not so tight that I would get tugged off balance. It was a cool role reversal—this time, she was looking out for me.
She was disappointed that she wouldn't need to wear crampons or use an ice ax, two skills she'd enthusiastically practiced on our living room rug. But that didn't dampen her pride. Elliot powered through the penultimate move to the top, shimmying through a narrow rock chimney. Then two big steps, and she boosted herself onto the summit. "Hey Ben!" she called down. They mugged for the camera and proudly flew their Summit for Someone flags.
I stared at my pixie-haired daughter. She looked tough out in the wind, with her harness cinched around her waist, her yellow helmet strapped on tight, her face ruddy from exertion. She'd obliterated my sense of what a petite, freckle-faced, almost-fifth-grader can do. While I consider myself a believer in the resilience of kids, I hadn't actually thought she would make it. Turns out, I just had to clear out of her way.

Forget Hot Coffee, Now Disney Is Sued For Severe Burns From Nacho Cheese
from the keep-it-cool,-yo dept
A San Diego couple, Michael and Maria Harris claim that their 4-year-old son Isaiah had his face burned from "scalding hot" nacho cheese served to them at Disney World. They appear to be claiming that Disney was negligent in making "no effort" to keep the nacho cheese at a reasonable temperature, and are claiming "permanent scarring, pain and suffering" to Isaiah from the burns, while the parents have suffered "emotional distress." Perhaps there's more to the case than is in the article linked above, but shouldn't parents be at least somewhat responsible for keeping things that are scalding hot from their children's faces?

If you believe the bookmakers, the first child of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge will be a girl named Alexandra.
The British betting firm Coral has slashed the odds on the royal baby's name to 2-1 from 25-1 after receiving an unusually large flurry of bets on it.
Spokesman Simon Clare said Thursday that the company had taken 10,000 bets on various names but he was surprised to see about 2,000 pounds ($3,080) in bets on Alexandra in a matter of hours.
Rivals William Hill and Ladbrokes also have Alexandra as the 2-1 favorite.
Earlier, Coral had suspended bets on the baby being a girl. At an outing last month, the former Kate Middleton appeared to let it slip that the baby would be a girl.

Breaking NewsGwyneth Paltrow ignited a firestorm of criticism after blasting the N-word to her one million Twitter followers this weekend ... while describing a Jay-Z and Kanye West concert in Paris.
Paltrow was rockin out Friday at the "Watch the Throne Tour" ... when she decided to send a twitter pic of herself on stage (above) with the rappers and the caption "Ni**as in paris for real." If you've been under a rock -- or if you're Kris Jenner -- that's the title of a Jay and Kanye song.
The tweet triggered a tidal wave of negative internet buzz ... with fans questioning whether Gwyneth was using the term in a derogatory way. GP later responded unapologetically, "Hold up. It's the title of the song!"
That said, Jay and Kanye did go on to perform their hit song "Ni**as in Paris" a whopping 11 times that night.

French yachtsman Alain Delord arrived back in Hobart on Tuesday after being plucked to safety by a nearby cruise ship in the remote southern ocean waters near Tasmania.
Delord, 63, set off at the beginning of October, but abandoned his yacht Tchouk Tchouk Nougaton after it lost its mast and its hull was damaged in rough weather.
The location, about 500 nautical miles southwest of Hobart, was too distant for a helicopter rescue with Maritime Safety Australia using three aircraft to maintain contact with the sailor until a vessel could reach him.
The Orion, which was carrying 100 passengers and 80 crew, was returning from Antarctica and heading for the world heritage-listed Macquarie Island when it responded to the call for help.
The dramatic rescue in rough seas was caught on camera by one of the crew members on board the Orion.
Safely back on land on Tuesday, Delord said he felt like he had a second chance at life.
He described the rescue by Orion as "a miracle".
Delord said he had already been travelling for three months and he had managed to travel half way around the world before he struck trouble.
Delord had received an air drop of food, water, communications equipment and a survival suit while he waited for his rescue.

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- The man who might be the opening-day second baseman hit a game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth inning Saturday at Bright House Field.
That was Freddy Galvis, the 22-year-old infielder who continues to impress manager Charlie Manuel and the entire Phillies organization.
The man who might not be the opening-day second baseman took batting practice and went through his daily workout routine, which so far has not included playing in a game.
That, of course, is Chase Utley.
Even though Galvis was one of the stars in the Phillies' 4-3, 10-inning win over the Toronto Blue Jays, it was Utley who drew the most attention in the clubhouse afterward.
Utley, bothered by chronic tendinitis in his right knee, was asked if he still thought he could be ready for opening day April 5 in Pittsburgh.
"That's the goal," he said.
His activities since early in camp have been limited to batting practice and workouts behind closed doors that do not include taking ground balls. Utley said it was his decision to back off on taking ground balls based on the way his knee felt.
The veteran second baseman had warned at the start of camp that he would not play in the early portion of spring training, but the questions have mounted as his absence has continued. One big-league scout said he did not think it would be possible for Utley to open the season on time if he was not on the field starting next week.
Utley was asked if everything has gone according to his original spring-training plan.
After a long pause, he said, "I don't know. That's a good question. There have been some ups and downs. There are parts that are really positive."
Utley confirmed that he has not done any infield work recently.
"Not yet," he said. "I'm making progressions to get to that point. I'd like to do that at some point next week."
Asked if he felt better or worse than he did at the beginning of camp, Utley simply answered that "today, I felt pretty good."

Vintage Gem: The Artists' and Writers' Cookbook
As I've said before, I always find the most interesting or thought-provoking things at Maria Popova's site Brainpicker. A few days ago she unearthed a rare 1961 book that is perfect for lovers of literature, art, and the melding of all that with cooking...
The Artists' and Writers' Cookbook (illustrated with 19th-century engravings and original drawings) features 220 recipes and 30 courses by 55 painters, 61 novelists, 15 sculptors, and 19 poets, including the likes of Marcel Duchamp, Harper Lee, Irving Stone, and John Keats.
Some offer serious recipes, while others riff on the assignment. In it you'll find the omelet recipe George Sand sent to Victor Hugo; Irving Stone's view of the perfect writers' lunch; Marcel Duchamp's secret to steak tartare; and Anna Tolstoy's (daughter of Leo Tolstoy, in dedication to her father) recipe for Russian mint cookies.
But really, how could you not be on board with a cookbook dedicated to "the art of imperfection" in the kitchen? That's what real cooking is, after all. (For more on that, read Dana's beautiful meditation.)
See a few recipe samples at the link below:

Lord Harding and the Flying Roosters. A Beautifully Illustrated Children Picture Book Adapted From a Classic Polish Folktale (Pan Twardowski)
This new book is an introduction for young readers to the timeless and constant battle waged between good and evil. In this fascinating and humorous tale, Alex Fonteyn shows in a Christian spirit and also in simple terms for children to understand, what is sin and what is virtue. The author has purposely chosen to set the action in a ",once upon a time", frame where time and the location do not really matter. As a starting point is an old legend from a country, which seems to sit somewhere close to the end of the world: Poland. Yet the characters along with their fiery passions, attachments and moral dilemmas remain surprisingly close to us. Thus, in spite of the exotic and colorful setting, our children will recognize immediately a world which is most familiar to them and will easily understand the meaning of the moral message. They will happily appreciate the value of this book, especially as it bears Arthur Friday's illustrations which are, as always, enchanting and full of fantasy.Lord Harding and the Flying Roosters is a heart-warming Christian story for children of a nobleman who dabbles with dangerous dark forces! Lord Harding lives in the mythical city of Cracow. He is an educated and clever man, but spends far too much time reveling with his friends, drinking and frittering his time away -- much to the consternation of his wife!He decides that what he wants most of all is to know the secret of life and death, in order to continue his fun-filled, but ultimately empty lifestyle. Locked way in his study, he foolishly tries to conjure up the devil in order that he may learn the secret of life and death. The tale tells the story of his efforts to outsmart the devil, alternating between living a good moral life and yielding to the temptations laid before him. This is a story as relevant today as it was hundreds of years ago in the ancient city of Cracow -- can we really control our own destiny?Will our noble Lord find what he is looking for, will he learn the secrets of eternal life, or will it all end in tears and his wife's dire warnings turn out to be true?

WHITE HOUSE NOTEBOOK: Obama ditches jacket
BERLIN (AP) — President Barack Obama should have felt right at home in his overnight visit to Germany, with summer weather that felt more like Washington than Berlin.
Average highs are normally in the 70s in Germany's capital city in June, but they were in the 90s Wednesday as Obama spoke at the historic Brandenburg Gate nearly 50 years after President John F. Kennedy's famous cold war speech in West Berlin.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel introduced Obama from a stage with no cover for the bright hot sun. "We've chosen the best possible weather to welcome you most warmly, as it were," she said.
"It's so warm," Obama replied, "and I feel so good, that I'm actually going to take off my jacket and anybody else who wants to, feel free to."
The crowd of 4,500 broke into cheers, after waiting for hours under tight security that prohibited them from bringing in water bottles. The Red Cross said 104 people were treated at the site for dehydration and sunburn, although fortunately none were ill enough to require hospital treatment.
Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit, sitting behind Obama on the stage, took the president up on the invitation to dress down.
"We can be a little more informal among friends," Obama said.
The weather wasn't all that felt familiar to the president.
As Obama and German President Joachim Gauck greeted children waving flags from their two countries at Bellevue Palace, German photographers repeatedly shouted for Obama to turn toward them so they could get a better picture.
"The press is the same everywhere," Obama quipped.
Obama told his audience at the Brandenburg Gate that his family's absence at the speech was not a slight to Berlin, but to him.
"The last thing they want to do is to listen to another speech from me, so they're out experiencing the beauty and the history of Berlin," Obama said.
First lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia visited monuments commemorating dark eras of the country's past. They were joined by the president's half sister Auma, who went to university in Germany and flew in to meet them from her home in Kenya.
The family walked through the Holocaust memorial, a vast undulating field of more than 2,700 gray concrete slabs designed by American architect Peter Eisenman. The monument to the 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis was opened in 2005 next to the U.S. Embassy and the site of the bunker where Adolf Hitler committed suicide.
Merkel's husband, chemistry professor Joachim Sauer, made a rare public appearance to show the Obamas one of the few remaining sections of the Berlin Wall, which East Germany's communist rulers built in 1961 and divided the city until 1989. Sauer, like Merkel, grew up behind the wall in the communist east.
The first lady and her daughters placed yellow roses in the gaps between the concrete slabs of the wall's main memorial.
The first family stayed at the Ritz Carlton on the glitzy Potsdamer Platz, which was largely a vacant lot throughout the Cold War with the wall running right through it, just a few feet from where the hotel now stands.
Obama paid tribute in his Brandenburg Gate speech to the "airlift of hope" that kept West Berlin out of Soviet hands in the late 1940s — and to a 92-year-old veteran of the operation once known as the Candy Bomber.
Gail Halvorsen was among the crowd that braved the heat to hear the president's speech. He got his nickname for air-dropping handkerchief-tethered chocolate and gum to the children of Berlin. "He and his comrades made it possible for the city to survive," said Mayor Wowereit.
The airlift began on June 26, 1948, in an ambitious plan to feed and supply West Berlin after the Soviets blockaded the city, attempting to squeeze the U.S., Britain and France out of the enclave within Soviet-occupied eastern Germany. American and allied pilots flew 278,000 flights to Berlin over 15 months, bringing in food, coal, medicine and other supplies. The Soviets realized in 1949 that the blockade was futile and lifted their barricades.
Obama said the United States couldn't be prouder of Air Force veteran Halvorsen. "I hope I look that good, by the way, when I'm 92," the president said.
Germany and the United States both could claim some credit for a spectacular warm-up act by violinist David Garrett before Obama's speech.
Garrett, the son of a German father and an American mother, was born and raised in Aachen on Germany's western border and studied at Julliard in New York under famed Israeli-American violinist Itzhak Perlman.
Garrett performed songs by Obama favorite Bruce Springsteen and German composer Ludwig van Beethoven.
He also performed his version of "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson, who infamously dangled his baby outside a hotel window just up the street.
Associated Press writers Robert H. Reid and Frank Jordans contributed to this report.

10 Shock Of The Real

Take a look at some of Monday's morning movers:
Campbell Soup - Goldman Sachs has upgraded Campbell to "conviction buy" from "sell," saying its two-year old "sell" thesis has now played out and that the risk-reward ratio is now favorable.
J.M. Smucker - Goldman Sachs has upgraded Smucker to "buy" from "neutral," saying the food producer will benefit from an improved cost profile.
United Continental - CEO Jeff Smisek has purchased 55,600 shares of the airline at just over $18 per share, for a total cost of about $1 million. The purchase brings his total holdings to more than 339,000 shares.
Comverse Technology - Comverse is being acquired by Verint Systems in a stock swap deal. Verint will pay 27.5 million shares, plus up to an additional $25 million in its shares. This will follow Comverse's previously announced distribution of its telecommunications business.
Tesoro - Tesoro is buying BP's Carson, California plant in addition to other assets for $2.5 billion in cash.
FedEx - The delivery company will offer voluntary buyout incentives to certain employees, in an effort to reduce costs and increase efficiencies.
O'Reilly Automotive- The auto parts retailer is adding $500 million to its share buyback program, boosting it to a total of $2.5 billion.
BP – The oil company is selling two gas processing plants in Texas to Eagle Rock Energy Partners for $227.5 million in cash. The plants have a combined capacity of 220 million cubic feet of gas per day.
Barnes & Noble – The bookseller is cutting the price of its less expensive 8 gigabyte Nook model by $20 to $179. The move is designed to undercut the price of Amazon.com's Kindle Fire. Barnes & Noble also plans to cut the price of the 16 gigabyte model to $199 from $249.
Bank of America - The bank has sold its non-U.S. private bank to Julius Baer for $882 million. Separately, vice chairman and former chief financial officer Charles Noski is retiring on Sept. 1.
First Solar – The solar equipment producer could be among the stocks to register a sympathy move this morning after Germany's SolarWorld cut its outlook for the current fiscal year. In doing so, SolarWorld accused its China-based beers of unfairly undercutting the prices of solar components.
Google – Google's Motorola Mobility unit is cutting 20 percent of its workforce, about 4,000 jobs, and will shut about one third of its worldwide offices. About a third of the lost jobs are based in the U.S. Separately, Google has been upgraded to "overweight" from "equal weight" at Morgan Stanley.
Taro Pharma – The Israel-based drug company is being bought by India's Sun Pharmaceutical Industries for $39.50 per share, a 60 percent increase from the prior offer of $24.50. Sun had already owned 66 percent of Taro prior to the buyout, which is worth $571 million.
Bed Bath & Beyond – The retailer's stock has been upgraded to "buy" from "hold" at Canaccord Genuity, which cites both valuation and the acquisition of CostPlus. The firm has increased its price target for the stock to $75 from $71.
Coca-Cola - Goldman Sachs has removed the stock from its "conviction buy" list on a valuation basis. Goldman says the company's stock price is near a historic premium versus the market, while its share outperformance is moderating.
Yahoo - The stock has been downgraded to "hold" from "buy" at Stifel Nicolaus, which cites the potential for lower margins as well as a reduced valuation for Yahoo's Alibaba stake.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of the story incorrectly stated that Tesoro is selling the Carson plant. Tesoro is buying the plant from BP.

Rain wreaks havoc in Houston
Houston, TX – Second-round play at the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship was scheduled to start Wednesday, but rain forced all four matches to be postponed until Thursday.
One second-round match got underway, as seventh-seeded Italian Paolo Lorenzi led compatriot Flavio Cipolla 3-2 before the rain started at River Oaks Country Club.
Top-seeded Nicolas Almagro was slated to face Gael Monfils, while second- seeded Tommy Haas, who captured this tournament back in 2004, was scheduled to take on Ricardas Berankis.
John Isner, last year's runner up here, also had his second-round match pushed back to Thursday, when the fifth-seeded American will take on wild card Jack Sock.
Four second-round matches were already on Thursday's slate, highlighted by third-seeded Juan Monaco, who topped Isner in last year's final, opening defense of his Houston title against American Tim Smyczek.
The first round concluded with a pair of matches before the rain started, as Spaniard Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo handled Indian Somdev Devvarman 7-6 (7-5), 6-0 and fading former world No. 1 Aussie Lleyton Hewitt succumbed to 94th-ranked Argentine Martin Alund 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. The two-time Grand Slam champion Hewitt was the Houston titlist four years ago.
The 2013 Houston champ will collect $82,300.

Vikings, Steelers wake winless woes to Wembley
LONDON (AP) — "Business as usual" has been the motto for the Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of their game in London on Sunday.
It hardly feels that way.
Both teams have been handed the extra burden of an overseas trip with their seasons on the line. Both are 0-3 going into the game at Wembley Stadium, both aware that a fourth straight loss will all but end their playoff chances.
"This is not a vacation," Vikings running back Adrian Peterson said. "It's great to be here in London but 0-3 right now, it's time for us to get a W. It's very critical, especially going into the bye week."
Since the NFL adopted a 16-game regular-season schedule 35 years ago, only five teams that lost their first three games went on to reach the playoffs.
The Vikings are the designated home team, which means spending nearly a full week in England and taking part in off-field activities with the local fan base. Keeping his team focused has been one of Minnesota coach Leslie Frazier's biggest tasks.
"It's a fine line, and we talked about what our purpose is here, that this is a regular-season game, an important game," said Frazier, whose team is coming off a 31-27 loss to the Cleveland Browns. "We have to be mature about how we go about this and spend our free time. Our players understand that.
"You don't want to be scrooge. This is a great place to be and our players would love to get out, but we have a game to prepare for."
The Steelers, who fell 40-23 to the Chicago Bears last Sunday, arrive in London on Friday.
A near sellout of more than 84,000 is expected at Wembley — the home of English soccer — for the seventh NFL International Series game. The Jacksonville Jaguars and San Francisco 49ers will also play at Wembley on Oct. 27.
Here are five things to look for as Pittsburgh and Minnesota try to keep their seasons alive:
BELL TOLLS: Pittsburgh's struggling running game should get a boost from the season debut of rookie Le'Veon Bell. The second-round draft pick missed the first three games with a sprained right foot and a trio of replacements failed to distinguish themselves. The Steelers are ranked 31st in the league in yards rushing and need to generate some momentum to take the pressure off quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and a defense that has spent too much time on the field.
BIG BEN: Roethlisberger insists he isn't pressing but knows he needs to take better care of the ball. He threw two interceptions and fumbled twice in last week's loss to Chicago and has spent most of the season under significant duress behind an offensive line still trying to find itself after losing Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey for the season with a knee injury. The Steelers have taken to rotating tackles in and out of the game, hoping to keep their legs fresh. Roethlisberger says he's not focusing on who's standing next to him in the huddle and more on the defense. "I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing and not try to overcorrect anything, be even better and eliminate all these things because I think it takes you out of your own element, your own game plan," Roethlisberger said.
CASSEL'S SHOT: Minnesota backup quarterback Matt Cassel gets a chance to turn the Vikings' poor start around with starter Christian Ponder out because of a fractured rib sustained against Cleveland. Frazier opted for Cassel to give Ponder extra rest with the Vikings heading into a bye week after the game. Talk had been about Cassel, the former Patriots and Chiefs quarterback, possibly stepping in with Ponder struggling. Cassel joined Minnesota in the offseason after four seasons in Kansas City.
FELTON RETURNS: Vikings fullback Jerome Felton returns from a three-game suspension to provide Peterson and the offensive line with a much-needed boost. The All-Pro fullback was suspended after picking up a DUI charge, and his absence has been noted. Peterson has rushed for 281 yards but has only averaged 2.99 yards per carry since a 78-yard touchdown run on the Vikings opening play of the season. Felton helped Peterson run for 2,097 yards last season as he chased Eric Dickerson's single-season record. "I just want to make his job easier," Felton said. "I was able to do that last year. I think we play well off each other."
PLAYOFFS OR BUST: A victory will provide one of these two teams with a dose of momentum and hope that a playoff run is still possible.. The loser, however, will almost certainly need to start looking toward next season since no team has recovered from an 0-4 start to make the playoffs since the San Diego Chargers in 1992. Pittsburgh is off to its worst start since 2000 and risks starting a season 0-4 for the first time since 1968. Minnesota started 0-4 two seasons ago. The Buffalo Bills were the last 0-3 team to reach the playoffs, in 1998.

IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.
Traffic works its way around the internet based on the routing table, which contains a list of networks and their associated netblocks.
