The Drowsy Chaperone (Don Ward)
Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!
The sponsor of the plan was Representative Bill Crane who says
the requirement applies to students in every public elementary,
middle, junior and senior high school in the state.
There is no punishment for students and teachers who refuse to
comply and students can be exempted if a parent objects in writing.
Crane says the plan reinforces patriotic values -- which he
believes a majority of Americans share.

However, KPMG and CAR said the implications of a totally driverless car that doesn't crash would be huge:
* Automakers cut weight from cars and trucks as crashless cars do not need to be made with as much reinforced steel or as many safety devices like airbags. That would lower vehicle costs, speed up vehicle development time and boost fuel efficiency.
* Automated cars would drive in tighter packs because computers would control their speed and spacing. That would mean smaller roads were necessary and result in the elimination of shoulders and guardrails, leading to a significant reduction in the $75 billion spent annually on roads, highways and other infrastructure.
* With computers controlling the cars, driving would be more efficient and thus faster, leading to less congestion on the roads. Fuel consumption would decline and companies that rely on just-in-time delivery could reduce inventories even further.
* Automated cars also would allow for the elimination of traffic and road lights in many cases. That would slash energy use drastically.
* Driverless cars would mean a change in the way drivers are insured, and could even end the need for car insurance.
* Hospitals would lose more than two million crash victims sent annually to U.S. emergency rooms.
* Crashless cars would mean auto repair shops see fewer damaged cars, meaning they would need to shift their business model to serving the aftermarket needs of existing cars that lack autonomous driving systems.
* Steelmakers would have to adjust to a world where cars use less of their product.
* State and local governments would have to adjust to the loss of traffic fines, possibly reducing their police forces. Governments might seek to replace some of that lost revenue; perhaps with infrastructure usage fees.
* Less expensive, driverless cars would open ownership to new audiences like younger generations or even the blind, but they also could lead to wider vehicle sharing that would slash global sales.
* If vehicle sharing expanded, cars could be summoned as needed and people could pay for mobility services as needed instead of owning a vehicle.
* Autonomous transportation could eliminate the need for and cost of high-speed trains.
* Vehicle sharing could keep vehicles in more constant use, reducing the need for parking lots that take up a lot of land in cities.
* Lighter, easier-to-build cars could open the auto industry to new rivals using a model like Apple's, where a company designs and markets a product but outsources its construction.
* A connected, driverless car network would require security from hackers and would raise privacy concerns with many consumers.

| Info about the above link
To clarify, the above link takes you to a Google Video movie that seems to be a documentary about Christianity (my bet is on it trying to de-bunk Christianity, but I haven't watched it... correct me if I'm wrong). The Zeitgeist website says the following about the movie: Zeitgeist was created as a not for profit expression to inspire people to start looking at the world from a more critical perspective and to understand that very often things are not what the population at large think they are. |

Well it is not just Christianity/Muslim/Judaism/Scientology/etc/etc/... debunking but they are actually debunking the mythos of "God/President/Wise man/.. knows best" and are suggesting to use YOUR critical mind! This movie is actually a re-edit of many movies you can find on googlevideo/youtube and gives you all the "conspiracy" content in one place, now if you think "conspiracy theory" is for wacky people then this movie is not for you, but if you are a open minded person who can think for your self then i warmly recommend you to watch it in full length.

2. Think strategically
When making plans to celebrate a special event it is important that the work supports other areas of development in a National Scout Organization, otherwise the work could take place in parallel to the core work and as attractive projects are developed and deadlines draw near, the focus on routine work is likely to decline. To overcome these challenges the following approach was taken:
2.1.Link the Strategy and the Centenary - As the plans for the Centenary were being put in place, the Strategy for Scouting was being developed and work was undertaken to make sure that the Centenary supported the Strategy for Scouting. A special document was developed to show how activities for the Centenary could support the Strategy and strategic planning in Associations. For example, using the Gifts for Peace project to support youth involvement in decision-making within the Scout Unit and within the Community: all young people could be involved with the process of identifying the particular needs in the local community and then together deciding on the best way to respond to these needs. Or, using Scouting's Sunrise to recruit volunteers and support for Scouting through contact with former leaders, parents and members of the local community.
This helped National Scout Organizations to identify how they could build on existing initiatives and use the Centenary to meet their particular development needs.
Use the energy of special events and celebrations to encourage people to engage with your strategy to achieve tangible results. |
2.2. Build on your strengths and the opportunities that are presented to you - It is always very hard to start something from scratch. It is much easier to identify where there is already energy and enthusiasm and build on this to achieve results. Youth Involvement in decision-making is one of the strategic priorities which was adopted in The Strategy for Scouting in 2002. The Young Spokespeople concept built on the work that was happening in youth involvement and provided another avenue for young people to gain skills and experience in representing the Movement to external audiences and the press which also helped to change the public perception of Scouting.
Channel the energy that already exists, rather than start projects from scratch. |
2.3. Scan the external environment – Taking a strategic approach requires that we look at what is happening outside Scouting, identify how this impacts upon our plans and decide if and how we can work in partnership with others to help us meet our objectives. Many organisations have a remit to raise awareness of global issues and many recognise the need to engage young people in education and action. At the 21st World Scout Jamboree, the Global Development Village (GDV) was an opportunity to work with many external organisations. There were a number of meetings to explain the GDV to partners, help the organisations to recognise how participating in the Jamboree, an event for 40,000 Scouts, could raise their profile and help them to meet their objectives. Over 50 organisations took part in the global development activities at the Jamboree.
Build on the agenda of civil society and work with others to achieve results. |
2.4 An opportunity for Adult Resources - The organisation of an unique event such as the celebrations for the Centenary of Scouting, required significant human resources. However, this did not necessarily mean that human resources were a pre-requisite to celebrating! Experience has shown that the Centenary helped us to recruit large numbers of adult volunteers, in fact the celebrations provided excellent promotion for Scouting! They were also a way of recruiting new people with specific skills to Scouting, noting that it is sometimes easier today to propose volunteering for specific tasks, with clear timescales, where people can share their knowledge and know-how. For example, volunteers with experience of global development and a graphic designer were recruited to develop the ScoutPAX resource.
Use your celebrations to recruit a new group of volunteers to Scouting. |

Influenza Vaccine: Flu Myths vs. Flu Facts
Does a flu shot cause the flu? Do healthy people need a shot? Here are the answers to some myths.
The flu vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and your family. However, misconceptions about vaccination persist. Here are seven common myths about vaccination.
If you're looking to get a flu vaccination, here is a list of places to go in Plymouth and Canton.
Flu Myth #1 A Flu Shot Causes the Flu
No, a flu shot cannot cause flu illness. The influenza viruses contained in a flu shot are inactivated (killed), which means they cannot cause infection. Flu vaccine manufacturers kill the viruses used in the vaccine during the process of making vaccine, and batches of flu vaccine are tested to make sure they are safe. In randomized, blinded studies, where some people get flu shots and others get salt-water shots, the only differences in symptoms was increased soreness in the arm and redness at the injection site among people who got the flu shot.
Flu Myth #2 The 'Stomach Flu' is a Form of the Flu
Many people use the term "stomach flu" to describe illnesses with nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. These symptoms can be caused by many different viruses, bacteria or even parasites. While vomiting, diarrhea, and being nauseous or "sick to your stomach" can sometimes be related to the flu — more commonly in children than adults — these problems are rarely the main symptoms of influenza. The flu is a respiratory disease and not a stomach or intestinal disease.
Flu Myth #3 The Flu Shot is Dangerous
Over the last 50 years, seasonal flu vaccines have had very good safety track records. Over the years, hundreds of millions of Americans have received seasonal flu vaccines. Every year the same methodical process is used to make vaccine to protect against the different flu strains. Vaccination is the gold standard of care recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), safe to receive and the most effective way to protect against the flu and spread of infection.
Flu Myth #4 Younger, Healthier People Don't Need a Flu Shot
Everyone who is at least 6 months of age should get a flu vaccine this season as everyone is at risk of infection. This includes health care workers, pregnant women, people 65 and older, people who have certain medical conditions like asthma, diabetes and chronic lung disease, and people who live with or care for others who are high risk of developing serious complications.
Flu Myth #5 Antibiotics will Treat the Flu
Because flu is caused by viruses and not by bacteria, antibiotics aren't effective. Antiviral drugs can treat flu illness. They can make people feel better and get better sooner and may prevent serious flu complications, like pneumonia, for example, that can lead to hospitalization and even death. These drugs are different from antibiotics, but they also need to be prescribed by a doctor. They work best when started during the first 2 days of illness. It's very important that antiviral drugs be used early to treat the flu in people who are very sick (for example people who are in the hospital) or people who are at greater risk of having serious flu complications. Other people with flu illness may also benefit from taking antiviral drugs and should see their physician.
Myth #6 The Vaccine Does Not Work, Why Get it
The flu vaccine is the single best way to prevent the flu, and vaccination is the main tool used to protect people from influenza. But protection is never 100 percent, and some people can still get the flu after being vaccinated. How well the flu vaccine works (or its ability to prevent influenza illness) can range widely depending on who is being vaccinated. In general, the flu vaccine works best among young healthy adults and older children. Some older people and people with certain chronic illnesses might develop less immunity than healthy young adults after vaccination. However, even for these high-risk individuals, the flu vaccine still can provide protection against getting severe complications from the flu. While determining how well a flu vaccine works is challenging, in general, recent studies have supported the conclusion that influenza vaccination benefits public health, especially when the viruses in the vaccine and circulating viruses are well-matched.
Myth #7 It's Too Early to Receive a Flu Shot
Flu seasons are unpredictable. They can begin early in the fall and last late into the spring. As long as flu season isn't over, it's not too late to get vaccinated, even during the winter. Getting a flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and your family. The flu vaccine offers protection all season long.

Kevin, you're mistaken. This is not, in any way, an advertisement. It is, however, an information piece submitted by the Henry Ford Health System, as indicated in the post.
Paddy Clark
11:55 am on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
As someone who works in healthcare, Kevin, the pharmaceutical companies don't need articles like this to boost sales of a life saving vaccine. However, many uneducated people definitely need to read this, because, unfortunately, to many of them do not get vaccinated and we end up with epidemics on our hands like we have this season. One of my best friends and her family are highly against the flu shot, and what was she just diagnosed with yesterday? The flu. I'll be forwarding this article to her posthaste. Hopefully between my yammering and this article, they'll go get their flu shots.
4:48 pm on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
John, I want to say that I think you do a great job with delivering local news for Patch. I believe I was a little harsh in my statement because I was expecting an article that would reflect both sides to the story.
4:49 pm on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Paddy, I respect your opinion on this matter but there are two sides to the story. I am not a doctor nor do I work in the medical field. However, I do have three small children so it was important for me to educate myself on this topic. I am not a conspiracy theorist that believes the flu shots are intended to cause long term illnesses which will require further medical care, thus increasing the profits for the medical field and pharmaceutical companies. I've read all those stories and disregard them.
4:49 pm on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
I do know that there have been thousands of medications over the years that at one time were deemed safe but were later banned for having dangerous side effects including death. I also know that injections may be tainted, as we have recently seen in the back pain injections that caused meningitis outbreaks and deaths. There are also the known side effects for any vaccination. Attached is what I believe is an unbiased article written by a PhD regarding the ineffectiveness of the flu vaccine. I am not saying no one should receive a flu shot. However, based on the attached and similar articles, along with my personal knowledge & beliefs, it is of my opinion that it is in the best interest of myself and my family to not receive a flu vaccination. Once again, I am not a doctor or chemist, nor do I work in the medical field, and everyone will have to make their own decision. But that decision should be based on their own health situation along with information gathered from both sides of the coin. Hopefully Paddy, you will also send this information to your friend posthaste so she can make an informed decision based on her own health status.
4:49 pm on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
John, I will attach the link separately in case you need to delete it because of a Patch policy regarding links to other web pages. Anyone that wants to read it may feel free to email me and I will pass the link on to them.

New publisher to target Middle Eastern gaming market
Red Stallion Interactive to manage content rooted in Arab and Middle Eastern culture; targeting mobile and online PC platforms.
There hasn't been all that much buzz surrounding the gaming market in the Middle East, but that may be about to change.
Game agency Digital Development Management and Arabian Gulf-based company Trans Technologies have joined forces to form a new publishing house called Red Stallion Interactive. According to a recent press release on the company website, the new publisher will focus on developing and distributing games across the Middle East.
The company, with offices located in Doha, Qatar, Manama, the Kingdom of Bahrain, and Northampton, Massachusetts, will address the "growing appetite" for video games in the Middle East. The content of the games will have Arab and Middle Eastern culture and influences, and it will be targeted for mobile and PC platforms.
According to Dr. Mohamed Juman, representative shareholder for Trans Technology, Red Stallion "will look to bridge the gap by focusing distribution of relevant and appropriately localized games and media."
Digital Development Management was founded in 2005 and represented clients like Slightly Mad Studios, Ninja Theory, and Turtle Rock Studios.

He's led the Pirates in nearly every statistical category since becoming a full-time starter as a sophomore in 2010 and developed into one of the program's leaders during his senior campaign last fall.
For college, he'll stay close to home.
The Lumberton High captain announced Monday he has accepted a preferred walk-on offer at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke, a local program that already snagged two all-county defenders on national signing day in February.
"UNCP gives me a chance to show off my talent and further my career," said McGill, who had a partial scholarship offer from Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa."It's closer to home and it's cheaper to go there as an in-state student."
McGill and his father, former Lumberton assistant Rufus McGill, met with Braves coach Pete Shinnick Monday afternoon to discuss the defender's likely collegiate track. With a small senior class in 2013 and 14 additional signees or transfers welcomed in February, UNCP had few available slots on its football roster.
As a preferred walk-on, there is no guarantee of a scholarship but a player will have a reserved spot on the team in August.
McGill, an honor student, plans on reporting to Pembroke after graduation in June.
"I play football to see how far it can take me," he said. "I want to always have my academics to fall back on. One of the best decisions I've made growing up was getting involved in weight training. I love working out. I'd like to help out other people in that respect and follow that (exercise sports science) as a major."
The Robesonian's 2012 Defensive Player of the Year waited six weeks after the signing period began to make his decision to honor his brother, Sonny, who died from injuries sustained in a car accident on Nov. 1. Family and friends released balloons in Sonny's memory in the parking lot of Lumberton High just after McGill made his announcement.
Monday was Sonny's birthday.
"It means a lot to me that Mac would honor his brother like this on a day intended for him," said Jerri Johnson McGill, the mother of Sonny and Mac.
"Mac's family is really proud of him and the student-athlete he's become," Rufus McGill said.
UNCP assistant Steve Saulnier was McGill's lead recruiter. He's seen the two-sport athlete develop into one of the Southeastern Conference's top tackles over the last few years and was instrumental in helping the Braves land Purnell Swett's Isaac Jacobs and Lumberton's Ahmad Smith this season.
"Coach (Saulnier) told me everybody has an equal opportunity to play," McGill said. "I'm starting fresh again, like a freshman on varsity. He said I have a very good chance of playing there."
McGill says he has no regrets during the recruiting process even though he missed a chance of signing with Smith and fellow teammate Daniel Robinson on Feb. 6.
"I didn't have my mind made up and I wanted to set a deadline for myself so I wouldn't be waiting until May or something," McGill said. "I just decided that this day, since it already has so much significance, would be perfect."

Sherry and Steve Fry have a passion for good nutrition.
Their business, Common Sense Nutritional Therapy, offers an opportunity for people to develop better eating habits so they can sleep better, recover lost energy, lose weight and improve their digestion.
"We are a consultation, educational and service-oriented clinic offering personal nutritional counseling and classes," Sherry Fry said.
The business is located at 120 15th St. SE, Suite 102, in downtown Puyallup.
For people who have diabetes or any other condition, or if they want to lose weight, the Frys say their mission is to help clients understand the design of their body.
"We want to enable people to navigate throughout the grocery jungle to find what is really food," Sherry Fry said.
She stressed that most people have been exposed to things that the market wants us to believe is food, but it's not.
"Our bodies are failing and struggling a great deal, because we are not giving them nourishment, just filling them with fluffy substances that take away the hunger pains but don't nourish the body," she said.
Sherry Fry is a nutritional therapy practitioner, and Steve Fry is a certified healing foods specialist. They owned and ran The Live Bread Shoppe Bakery in Sequim for 16 years and have just finished writing "Nutrition from the Cookie Jar," which will be published next month. The book is full of recipes and what Sherry refers to as "nutritional understanding."
A health scare in 2000 left Sherry yearning for answers to better health. She returned to school and earned her certification from South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia.
Now the couple hopes to share that knowledge and help people remedy health issues and lead healthy, productive lives.
"If you keep putting these fluffy food substances into the body, you are making withdrawals from your resources, and that will result in health challenges," Sherry Fry said.
The Frys recommend starting out with a basic class and then making an appointment for a health evaluation. An exam and evaluation costs $125, and follow-up office visits are $49.
Common Sense Nutritional Therapy is offering a free class, "Health is Fragile Handle with Food," to get people started on the right track.
"My desire, hope and passion are to re-educate people so they can vote with their dollar and change the food system," Sherry Fry said.
"If you understand how your body works, and you understand how, in this present society, you can feed it, then our dollars will speak louder than anything else," she added.
Steve Fry, an expert in permaculture gardening, will teach gardening classes.

Hello everyone! Before you think this is SPAM, let me assure you. I am a musician looking to expand my horizons in cinematic music, and I'd love to gain new experience by contributing to your work. When I say "for free", I mean it!! My only requirement is that my name be credited in your film as the score composer. Basically, you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. I get my name out there, and you get my music. All I want is my work "advertised" through your film, and that's it! We both win!
I realize it can be hard to find cheap, good music to add to your film, and maybe it's even a chore to make the music yourself... so this is my contribution to making your lives easier. I love film as an art form, and I love the power that music can contribute to that, whether its ambient noise, strings, pulse-thumping action music, etc.
Here's how it works:
- You tell me what you want in your film.
- I'll compose it.
- I'll send it to you, or upload it on Soundcloud.com.
- You tell me if you like it or not (if it fits your scene)
- You keep it, or you tell me to try again.
- You put my name in your credits as the music composer.
- You do not own the music... you simply use it for your film and give me credit for it.
That's it!
Also, let's say there's one particular track that someone else likes, and they would like that particular piece of music in their film as well. That's okay too... I can spread singular pieces of music to different people. In other words, one piece of music I write doesn't have to specific to one film. Again, all that I require is my name in the credits.
Please keep me in mind in the future, and once again, I promise this is legit! I look forward to working with all of you!
If anyone wants to get started with samples / requests right now, I'm game!

Ann Arbor firefighters extinguish blaze above home's fireplace
Ann Arbor firefighters put out a blaze Sunday afternoon that started in a wall above a home's fireplace.
Ann Arbor firefighters responded at 4:11 p.m. Sunday to a home in the 2000 block of Steeplechase Drive, according to a statement. When they arrived, firefighters found smoke on the first floor and a fire in the wall surrounding the home's fireplace.
According to firefighters, the homeowner had a fire in the fireplace on Saturday night. When firefighters opened up the wall above the fireplace, they found 2x4 and 2x8 pieces of wood ablaze in the wall.
The fire was extinguished and firefighters had to remove the interior of the wall to look for more fire. The damage was limited to single wall and the fireplace in the family room. There was no damage estimate available Monday morning.
According to firefighters, the cause appears to be related to the fireplace or firebox. The exact cause is still under investigation.
No one was injured in the fire. Firefighters wish to remind anyone with a fireplace and chimney in their home to have them checked and cleaned.

Fertilizers: An Environmental ThreatIn the quest for the "perfect lawn," people apply fertilizers and pesticides to their yards each year, priming their grasses for potentially serious ecological and human health consequences. These chemicals run off lawns into local springs, streams, lakes and rivers every time it rains, eventually ending up in the Gulf of Mexico. The resulting process causes more than half of our water pollution, thus harming our waterways and the plants and animals that thrive in aquatic habitats. You can help by joining the community effort to keep our coastal waters clean. It's important to know: fertilizers are not plant food. They sometimes can be used to supplement sugars that plants make through photosynthesis. But if you decide to use a fertilizer, use it properly. It's easy:
Do your part to preserve our water, coastlines, and wildlife. |

Actually, dedup is recommended over the uniq command. However, we do not recommend using either command over large volumes of data. Sorry for the confusion!
dedup command not recommended for _raw field and here you are.
Note: We do not recommend that you run the dedup command against the _raw field if you are searching over a large volume of data. Doing this causes Splunk to add a map of each unique _raw value seen which will impact your search performance. This is expected behavior.
"If you have a large dataset, it's a better practice to use the dedup command on the _raw field in place of uniq: "
Why? What does "better" mean? More efficient? More reliable? Why ever use "uniq" instead of "dedup _raw"?

Court: NSTP plagiarised educational company's concept paper for contest
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1 — The High Court has ruled that The New Straits Times Press (Malaysia) Berhad (NSTP) copied an idea from an educational company's concept paper over the 'NST-SPELL-IT-RIGHT' spelling competition which was aired over Sistem Televisyen Malaysia Berhad (TV3) in 2008.
In her judgment, Judicial Commissioner Datuk Hanipah Farikullah also held that by transmitting the competition in 2008, without the authorisation of the plaintiff, TV3, therefore, infringed the plaintiff's right and also breached the confidential information disclosed to them.
She said, although there were some variations in the 'RHB-NST-SPELL-IT-RIGHT' competition concept aired on TV3, however, bearing in mind the objective or purpose of the competition concept and the fact that the NSTP was given a copy of the plaintiff's concept paper on the competition, "I am satisfied that first defendant (NSTP) copied the plaintiff's concept of 'NST-SPELL-IT-RIGHT' competition".
Hanipah said this in her 47-page judgment dated July 20.
On May 3, last year, Admal Sdn Bhd had filed a suit against NSTP and TV3 for infringement of copyright in the 'NST-SPELL-IT-RIGHT' competition concept and for breach of confidence seeking over RM10 million in damages from the defendants.
Admal had contended that it was the copyright owners of the 'NST-SPELL-IT-RIGHT' spelling competition and that the defendants, without the authorisation of the plaintiff, launched the 'RHB-NST-SPELL-IT-RIGHT' spelling competition.
The company said that in January 2005, it held several discussions with NSTP where it presented the concept paper and both parties agreed to name it as 'NST-SPELL-IT-RIGHT'.
Hanipah, in her judgment, said she had examined both Admal's concept paper and NSTP's concept 'RHB-NST-SPELL-IT-RIGHT' linguistic competition.
"In relation to this, in my view, the defendants' concept of 'RHB-NST-SPELL-IT-RIGHT' competition adopted substantively, the same idea as the plantiff's concept paper," she said.
Hanipah said the court accepted Admal's submission that the concept of the competition produced by NSTP and TV3, and that as produced by Admal, were similar, adding that the court did not have to look as to whether there is a 100 per cent copy, but rather, whether there existed substantial copying.
She said the defendants, through the evidence of their three witnesses, had testified that the name of the competition was included in NSTP's brand plan for 2005.
"However, the defendants did not adduce any documentary evidence to support its contention that the 'NST-SPELL-IT-RIGHT' competition concept was included in the first defendant's brand plan."
Therefore, she said, it was her view that Admal had established that copyright subsisted in the concept and it was the owner under Section 42 of the Copyright Act.
The court also granted damages sought by Admal, which is to be assessed later.
Admal's counsel, Isa Aziz Ibrahim, told reporters that today, the parties met Hanipah for clarification and the court ordered NSTP and TV3 to produce documents relating to accounts of profit and loss for the spelling competition since 2008.
He also said the court set August 28 to hear the assessment of damages. — Bernama

You don't need to read the first book in this series in order to know what's going on here and I actually think this one is better than the first. Balsa returns to her native Kanbal to see the country she fled when she was 8. She finds out that the man who saved and trained her is thought to be a coward and a traitor and now she's wanted by the king. A plot to destroy the kingdom has been in effect since before Balsa was born and she's forced to save a country she hasn't seen since she was a child. With everyone telling Balsa half-truths and the answers to Kanbal's problems lying beneath the mountains, this turns out to be a great adventure.

1. APA Style
The APA Style is often used to format publications in scientific journals in the field of Psychology and Learning Sciences. In other scientific areas, like Computer Science, the standards are less clear and can vary from journal to journal.
Each researcher working in a field that uses the APA style should:
- Get a copy of the APA 6 manual (and read it, especially the first chapters; rest is for reference). Contact Paul Kirschner if you need one.
- Take care that you have the correct templates for formating APA journal style publications (template.dot)
- Take care that you use a tool like Mendeley (or Endnote or reference manager or to a lesser extend Zotero) that will help you with the management of literature references in the publications.

Sloppy students in eastern China are being sent back to charm school to teach them etiquette skills.
These first year college students in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, have been excused military training so they can take part in a new course to teach them grace and good manners.
Instead, they learn how to walk, stand, talk and greet people properly in a series of lessons given by experts in traditional Chinese culture.
Girls are taught how to look more elegant when they stand by holding a sheet of paper between their knees.
And their posture is improved by balancing a book on their heads while they kneel and stand up again.
"So many young people are sloppy and lazy these days. They don't even know how to stand with grace," said a spokesman for the college, which specialises in degrees for students entering the tourism business.
"Most students have to do military training in their first year.
"But we think these skills are much more useful that marching or boot camp so we give our students a choice," they added.

Welcome, Guest.
The Perfect Turkey The turkey has been featured at the center of quintessential holiday table for the last 200 years; it symbolizes Thanksgiving. President Truman wasn't just being optimistic when he said: "We should all get together and make a country in which everybody can eat turkey whenever he pleases"-he was foreseeing the future. As a nation, our annual per capita consumption of this bird has gone up dramatically in the last 30 years, from under 8 pounds in 1970 to almost 25 pounds today. Turkey has also gone upscale, with many varieties available for sale and even new cuts (such as turkey "tenderloin" and "scaloppine") that appeal to consumers who want a quick and easy dinner. What's more is that we now eat turkey outside of the "holiday season" and today's turkey transcends the dry, tough bird that you may remember growing up with. » Learn How To Make the Perfect Turkey
Thanksgiving Sides Experts say offering the traditional menu items mixed with a few unique side dishes can make this Thanksgiving holiday a memorable one. "I think it is fun to 'mix it up' and include family favorites with the introduction of one or two new recipes, especially with vegetarians at the table, delicious, interesting side dishes are a must," said Diane Morgan, teacher and author of 11 cookbooks including, "The Thanksgiving Table." » Read More About Thanksgiving Sides

Blowing those mental cobwebs away. This week's astrology
The Sun is now in Gemini, it's birthday month for the twins. The gift of Gemini is to be ever open to the new; new ideas, new friends, new connections. Their natural curiosity is what keeps them youthful and sprite like. Like the butterfly they flit from flower to flower, covering a broad surface area. True, the cleverness of Gemini doesn't mean wisdom that comes with age, rather it is the wisdom of the child who asks endless questions at school. The emphasis of Gemini planets right now; the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are a rejuvenating elixir, blowing the mental cobwebs away, lightening the mood and making us more adaptable and open to the new, which is very helpful for the Uranus Pluto square energy, in exact aspect . There is crisis of action, situations reach breaking point and to really be aligned to our paths, we have to release that which is dying and stagnated to move forward. From chaos can come amazing new opportunities for growth. Uranus is rebellious and freedom seeking, Pluto is transformative. Both are associated with change and intense weather conditions, such as storms and earthquakes. Uranus and Pluto are at the manifestation phase of what was seeded in the mid 60's. Uranus and Pluto operate on a social, collective level as well as a personal level. Pluto in Capricorn destroys and deconstructs what is no longer efficient. Uranus in Aries brings sudden, unpredictable change; paving the way for a new way of living. We have opportunities to make significant changes for our own personal evolution, we are releasing what is no longer relevant to our life path and embracing the new. The effects of this transit are long term, they are not just happening for one day. Tuesday is a great day for networking, sharing ideas and coming up with fresh solutions for old problems with Mercury (communication) interacting with Uranus (trailblazer). Friday favours socializing, creativity and relationships. Mercury meets Venus and it should be easier than normal to express our feelings. On Saturday there is a lunar eclipse, On 25th there is a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses are super full moons and their effects are much stronger than a normal full moon, their effects are felt for at least a month afterwards. They bring completion, closure and release; something is leaving our lives; one door closes and another opens. Emotions are raw at this time, people can be prone to over-reacting and over dramatizing and events happen to you, those around you. This particular eclipse is in Sagittarius, the themes being travelling, publishing, learning, information and philosophical views and ideas. Expect some important information coming our way. This is a time for sharing ideas and reaching out to others.
If you would like a personal consultation with me, specific to you, contact me.
Forecast For Week beginning May 13thThe week starts energetically, with the waxing moon building in energy and the anticipation of the budding of intentions from the seeding of the recent new moon solar eclipse (10th May). Venus, planet of relating and Neptune, planet of dreams in a challenging interchange tests our reality and perceptions of relationships. Are we being too idealistic in our expectancy of a relationship or is there room for more enchantment and soul connectedness? Over analysis can spoil the magic of the moment. Mercury, planet of communication moves from the fixed earth of Taurus to his home sign of the mutable air of Gemini on 15th for a 2 week stay. Whereas Mercury in Taurus was about a slow, steady, deliberate mode of communicating and interacting, Mercury in Gemini is light, agile, clever and flexible in thought, speech and words. Mercury in Gemini favours networking, writing, and connecting. The moon reaches her first quarter phase on 18th; challenges, solutions and action come with a first quarter moon. In order to manifest intentions set at the new moon, sudden decisions and unforeseen changes happen. Mercury squares off nebulous Neptune on this day; inspiration and creativity are favoured although thinking may be foggy, confused and lacking logic. Remember that Mercury is at his trickster best in Gemini so be mindful of lack of clarity and wishful thinking when making decisions. The Uranus Pluto square takes place on 19th (the ongoing, powerful transit of change and transformation collectively and personally between 2012 and 2015). `We're making shifts and changes to that which is no longer working, that which is decaying and keeping us stuck in the old ways of the past. This is eclipse season and we are heading to the last eclipse of the season on 25th May. Much is brewing and we will look back at this time as a memorable, pivotal point in our lives.
Solar eclipses are extremely potent new moons that illuminate something in our life that need to be attended to. Something needs to end at this time so that new changes can be made. The themes of this Taurean eclipse are abundance, comfort, values, security, romance, finances, beauty and joy. This is the month to draw on these themes, build on them and manifest them. Now is the time for seeding intentions and due to the fertile soil of fixed earth sign Taurus, these wishes can reach great fruition and sprout into strong, rooted foundations for years to come. Listen to the wisdom of our bodies and nature to guide us. If we want to make a big change, ground dreams onto terra firma and let go of that which keeps us in a repetitive rut, this is the time
Forecast for week 30th April to 5th MayWhatever came to a head at the lunar eclipse on 25th April, whatever shifted in our lives, is the prominent theme this week. May day on 1st May, (traditionally a Celtic festival known as Beltane, which celebrates the coming of summer and the fertility of the year) is blossoming with potential. On this day Mercury, the planet of communication charges into the sign of Taurus the bull, to join the rest of the party of planets in Taurus. This is a helpful energy in bringing ideas onto terra firma and thinking practically and carefully. The Mars Saturn opposition that has been brewing since last week, reaches boiling point on 1st: something that has been building up for a while demands to be released, whether this is unexpressed anger or emotions that no longer serve us. The supportive transit of Sun trine Pluto can help to channel our energies in a constructive empowering way and to slow down and put the brakes on. This is a great transit for steady, challenging work that requires discipline and patience. The moon reaches its last quarter waning phase on 2nd, this is a time for decisive action, although there may be some resistance, change beckons. After the abundance of intense, practical, productive planetary transits, the dreamy, relaxed, inspirational forecast on 4th is a welcomed break. Go with the flow and just be, if you can. The week ends on a productive note, it may be Sunday but the cosmic conditions suggest making hay while the sun shines.
Astrological Forecast For Week April 15th to 21st The week begins with Venus moving into her home sign of Taurus for a one month sojourn; socially and creatively it's all about sensuality, comfort, luxury and beauty. While Venus was in Aries during the last 3 weeks, it was the thrill of the new, the exciting and the risky that was desired. Venus in Taurus is about building on what we have, slowing down to breathe in the present moment with all senses. We're reminded on Thursday that we mustn't slow down too much though, rather we need to take the bull by the horns. With the Sun and Mars meeting in active, fiery Aries and the moon at its first quarter phase; it's a charged day of action, taking the initiative and dealing with challenges in a fearless way. On a softer note Venus takes on a starring role on Venus ruled Friday, as she connects with enchanting Neptune, making for a day oozing with glamour, beauty and romance. The Sun also moves into Taurus on this day, marking the beginning of birthday month for Taureans. On Saturday, Mars the warrior planet moves to Taurus to join the herd of bulls already there. Mars in Taurus is driven by security, longevity and comfort. This is an ideal energy for a creative project that requires a steady, thorough approach. There is an abundance of inventive, original ideas floating around the collective consciousness on this day with Mercury and Uranus fusing in Aries. Gather new ideas and bring them to terra firma on this day.
Forecast For week 8th to 14th AprilEvery new moon favours fresh starts and new beginnings but particularly the fiery Aries new moon this Wednesday, marking a new lunar cycle of the year. Action, innovation, drive and passion are in abundant supply on Wednesday and if there is an important new project that requires initiative and boldness, then the dynamic Aries new moon could give you that extra zest that you need. Venus and Mars, the planets of relating continue to have starring roles this week; whilst this can be great for initiating a new relationship or rekindling an existing one, it is also a pioneering combination for a creative project. With such an emphasis in Aries, there is much fighting for what one desires and values, taking the initiative and being bold and courageous in romance, creativity and finance. Care is needed amidst all this self orientated and assured focus, to develop more empathy and sensitivity to other people's reality. Pluto the planet of transformation stations on friday to move backwards for 5 months. This is a day when power issues come to the fore: themes of empowerment or lack of, and how to more constructively use one's power effectively. On Sunday, Mercury, planet of communication moves from Pisces to Aries to join the large gathering of other Aries planets. With Mercury in Pisces, the cosmic messenger communicated in a compassionate, emotionally fused and nebulous way but in Aries, communication is assertive, energised and direct. Brainstorming goes well at this time as does the direct approach.
Week Beginning 25th MarchEnergies intensify as the full moon on 27th is brewing. With such a cosmic concentration of spring born Aries planets: initiating new starts, action, decisions, assertiveness and independence are prominent themes. But before we charge into action impulsively without looking before we leap, the full moon in measured Libra the scales on Wednesday , helps us to look at all sides and make balanced decisions, especially in the areas of relationships and values. The Sun opposite the full moon illuminates the need for balance and grace in relationships of all kinds. Are our scales tipped more towards our own egotistical needs or are we overly compromising and accommodating? This is a favourable time to sweeten relationships and resolve conflict. Much will surface and be brought to light: full moons bring about endings and beginnings and this relationship focused moon is a time to let go of the wrong person/people to leave space for the new to emerge. That which was begun at the new moon on 11th March comes to fruition and manifestation at this time. The 28th favours social events, enjoyment and the unusual when sweet Venus meets with unpredictable Uranus: be bold and experimental when it comes to new opportunities that arise and be open to the unexpected, rather than hanging on to tried and tested ways. Sudden shifts and changes in relationships, tastes and values are happening now. Uranus continues his starring role on 29th when there is no hiding away from the need to change that which has become stagnant. If this freezing, wintry spring here in the UK has made us feel like going back to hibernation, this concoction of awakeningUranus transits and fun filled Venus transits will be the wake up call we need for an energized, pleasurable weekend.
The annual event of a new Mars Venus Cycle in Aries Commences today, with the uniting of the planets of relating, initiative, receptivity, masculine, feminine, yin and yang. This dynamite energy can ignite or rekindle an exisiting relationship (of any kind) and is helpful for those (male or female ) who are more attuned to their Venusian, receptive side as it gives them the push they need to 'go for it' with passion that which they value and desire, whether it be a person or a creative goal. Mars is at home and potent in Aries but Venus in Aries can be just a tad on the aggressive side for the likes of gentle, sweet Venus. The combination of these relationship planets in fiery Aries can make for too much of a competitive, aggressive approach to relationships. Is it really all about the conquest? is it just a game? This is a perfect time to look at your balance of masculine, feminine energies and readdress the balance. Could you do with more Venus or Mars? Reflecting on Hatha yoga, meaning Sun and Moon, masculine and feminine and the balance between the 2 for ultimate health and harmony.
Forecast For April 2nd to 8thWe ease into a new week and a new month with expansive Jupiter and transformative Pluto both being kissed by the Sun: we are conscious of creative changes. On 2nd the moon moves into Capricorn: career and aspirations are highlighted and emotional satisfaction comes from pursuing goals. On 3rd, the moon enters its last quarter waning phase before the new moon on 11th. This is the time for moving forward with that which begun around 11th, completing tasks and bringing them to a conclusion. There is a focus on healing this week as Chiron, the planet of the wounded healer makes some dramatic appearances and that which needs to be healed and let go of, surfaces. We are facing our fears and dreads and even turning our nightmares into sweet dreams. We are riding the cosmic waves, after all we've had much practise as of late with the ongoing Uranus Pluto square, transit of deep transformative change in our lives and the watery nebulous gathering of Pisces planets. The moon breezes into Aquarius on 4th; don't keep it close to your chest, it is all about sharing ideas and interacting with friends and within groups. The moon floats into Pisces for a weekend of going with the flow and absorbing ourselves with that which feeds our soul. Venus and Mars unite on Sunday, the mood is sexy and passionate as a new relationship cycle begins, whether this is reigniting an en existing one, beginning a new one or just enjoying the sparks of this highly charged, sociable energy to the full.

Best of Criminal Minds 2011
A look back at some of the the most confounding and oddest items on the police beat in 2011.
Altoids Are Probably a Better Idea A woman was arrested Sept. 1 for stealing under $500 at the Shop N Save store in the first block of Gravois Bluffs Plaza, Fenton. Police said the suspect hid two bottles of vanilla extract in her purse and paid for the rest of her groceries, but failed to pay for the vanilla. Police said that when the woman was asked why she stole the vanilla she responded "I'm an alcoholic and drink the vanilla extract so my husband won't find out I'm drinking again." Priorities A man was issued a summons Sept. 16 for urinating in the parking lot of the Steak 'n Shake in the 600 block of Gravois Bluffs Boulevard in Fenton. Police said the intoxicated man was asked why he was doing so and responded "My friends are still …
