Kaua`i CC showcases STEM internshipsKauaʻi Community College
Community Relations & Sp. Projects, Chancellor's Office
LIHUE, Hawai'i—Kaua'i Community College held its first Science and Technology Ho'ike to showcase science and technology students' internship projects on Wednesday Nov. 27, 2013. Families, friends, school groups and island visitors were invited to explore the exhibition of poster presentations and video projects. Among the many visitors were more than 80 students from Kaua'i High School who are studying the sciences, mathematics and sustainability. The exhibit will be on display until December 11, 2013, from 8 a.m.- 4 p.m in the college's One Stop Center.
Thirteen science and technology internships were made possible with community partners: The Edge of Kaua'i, The Surfrider Foundation, Kaua`i CC's Electronics Technology Program and Science and Mathematics Division with funding provided by a Title III grant awarded to the College. The grant supports educational opportunities and services as well as career experiences such as internships in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (STEM) particularly for Native Hawaiian students.
Projects were conducted both in the lab and in the field around Kaua'i. Students studied ocean debris, water quality, beach erosion, how to control weeds, and how to calibrate electronic equipment. Kaua'i CC Title III STEM coordinator Andrea Erichsen said: "The college's STEM internship program is project-focused and requires students to work closely with each other, faculty and community partners and mentors. STEM internships also provide students with invaluable opportunities to apply classroom knowledge to challenges facing Kaua'i while developing professional experiences needed on resumes and transcripts."
Carl Berg, vice chairman of Surfrider Kaua'i and coordinator of the Blue Water Task Force said: "Internships are the perfect way to see if your personal interests and curiosities can lead to a career in the STEM fields. They allow you the experience to help decide how you want to look at the world, what you really want to do in life. Internships with Surfrider get you right out in the field, taking precise measurements to scientifically analyze ecosystem components and changes occurring because of man's impact upon the planet. Whether it is water pollution, tsunami debris, recycling, or environmental monitoring, Surfider internships give you hands on experience and insights into the environmental science of our ocean world."
"Kaua'i CC students have become major ambassadors to the community of Kaua'i," said Chuck Blay, principal investigator at The Edudate of Kaua'i (TEOK) Investigations. "With their assistance, we are continuing to conduct shoreline surveys on the west side of the island as part of TEOK. Being involved provides them an opportunity to completely experience the application of the Scientific Method."
Blay added: "The Pacific Missile Research Facility (PMRF)/Kekaha beach surveys have been going on now for an entire year and provide valuable information on what makes our shorelines and beaches work. We are just now initiating surveys on at Waimea and Po'ipu. This work benefits the island community. The video produced by recent graduate of Kaua'i CC student Jana Rothenberg Blay and poster created by student Jin-Wah Lau have been instrumental in helping us translate our research to the general public. Their work has been presented at a number of meetings we have had on island, including one to the Mayor, and public discussions held at the Hanapepe Library and at PMRF. The invaluable assistance of the KCC students has really helped The Edge of Kauai program move forward."
"With Kaua'i CC as a bridge to the County, State and independent scientists, shoreline setbacks have been changed because of our findings," said Kaua'i CC student Jana Rothenberg Blay.
Intern student Jin-Wah Lau added, "Scientists mentored me and I learned firsthand how they do field research." Reflecting on her internship project in Agriculture, Lau said: "I am always looking for alternatives to pesticides. In Kokee, I found limited plant growth in the understory of strawberry guava plants. I am using that knowledge toward developing a natural alternative to herbicides."

Gun-law foe challenges Boucher for GOP state Senate nod
Walter Reddy of Weston, a former artist and ornamental-plaster contractor, has announced he will challenge incumbent state Sen. Toni Boucher of Wilton for the Republican nomination in the 26th District.
An apparent political newcomer, Reddy is calling for repeal of a state gun-control law enacted in the wake of the December 2012 Newtown school shootings that left 26 people dead.
Boucher voted for the legislation, which had wide bipartisan support and was signed into law in April 2013.
The 26th Senate District includes Westport and six other towns.
In a prepared statement, Reddy said the law was approved "based solely on raw emotion -- not facts or data." He opposes the law, he said, because it was enacted without investigative reports of the Newtown shootings, it unfairly punishes gun owners and imposes on taxpayers the high costs of mental-health services.
The law includes sweeping restrictions on assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines. It passed 26-10 in the Senate and 105-44 in the House of Representatives.
Asked in an email what his three priorities would be if elected, Reddy listed only repeal of the gun-control law.
He did not respond when asked if he had held any public offices, but he lists none on a resume he issued. He also did not provide his age when asked.
Reddy is a 1971 graduate of Wilton High School, according to the resume. He attended Norwalk Community College in 1972 and the Silvermine Art School from 1972 to 1975.
He now operates Pure Gold Grains LLC, a company he founded last year that is seeking a U.S. patent on a new "monetary unit" of pure gold and silver, the resume states.
Since 1975, he has worked as a portrait painter; a painting and restoration contractor; done custom-plaster finishes and silver-leaf and gold-leaf decor; and worked for short periods in several ventures related to paying for services with gold and silver, according to the resume.
Boucher, 64, is seeking a third term in the Senate after briefly considering a run for this year's GOP gubernatorial nomination. She is the upper chamber's deputy minority leader and served six terms as a state representative before her election to the Senate.
Reddy was sharply critical of her in his prepared statement, saying Boucher "voted in lock-step" with Gov. Dannel Malloy and the Democratic leadership on the gun-control bill without facts to support the measure.
The bill also was supported by the Republican legislative leadership, which joined Malloy in celebrating its signing.

Hi there,
Mr. Brown is back from his holiday and guess what, I'll do a nice review on Zombielicious, the new album by Zombie Nation.
But because I don't want to feed you a post of epic proportions, I'll start of with some information and do the review later this week (for real this time, cough...invaders must die...cough).
So what is this Zombie Nation? Zombie Nation is a German techno and electro project of the Munich based DJ and producer Florian Senfter. He became famous in 1999 with the song "Kernkraft 4OO" on the International DeeJay Gigolo Records (by DJ Hell). The first fame went to Miss Kittin & The Hacker for their remix, but people soon realised Florian was the true inventor of this song, or was he not...
Whoever played Lazy Jones on the Commodore 64 might remember it, it's sampled a song called "Stardust" by David Whittaker.
David Whittaker - Lazy Jones [right click to download]
Now Kernkraft 400 (or Nuclear Energy 400) is widely known in Noth American sporting stadiums as a sporting chant
The rest of Florian's life was filled with releases on various labels as Zombie Nation and John Starlight. But in 2007 he collaborated with Tiga under the pseudonym ZZT to make "Lower State of Consciousness". Zombie Nation is also known for their amazing liveacts, where he creates music on stage rather then mixing it like a DJ.
So there's a little info about one of my new heroes. As I said, a review of the new album will follow, Along with some quotes from the man himself and how he feels about electronic music these days.
As a sneak peak to the album, I'll post the second song: Get It. Our thrusty viewers know I already posted Forza (another track from this new album) before my departure.
It's a nice track featuring some calm vocals, while the beat keeps you moving like crazy. It has this rocky feel like MSTRKRFT, while maintaining those dark German influances. I just love it.

The strings at 00:56 reminded me of some other song I'm keeping in my special folder for you guys. You'll know when I'm posting it.
Enjoy, and see you later...

Summer Days Part 1
Lesson 6 of 27
Objective: SWBAT ask and answer questions to understand the main idea in paragraphs and the chapter.
Big Idea: Summer comes to the farm and the air is filled with its scent as lilacs bloom, birds sing their joyous melodies, and the children play. Summertime is for all to enjoy.
Context and Overview
As I read Charlotte's Web with my students I am teaching different skills. Today, I am teaching the students about main idea and supporting details. I am also involving them in a close reading of two paragraphs so that they can identify the main idea of both and so that they can see the connection with both. Today, we are working with the chapter, "Summer Days," and the paragraphs I am focusing both touch upon summer.
I will model with one paragraph, and then students will work independently with the other.
Then, to analyze how the paragraphs connect, we will gather on the carpet for Socratic Seminar.
On the rug
After I share the objective, I ask my students to tell me what main idea is. First, I ask them to pair share what is a main idea? I like to involve my students in academic language:
Then, I share a few out loud:
I like to ask my students questions like these because they give me an informal way to assess their knowledge and to help the focus on the learning for the lesson. This is one way I help to validate their knowledge.
I share a poster of the main idea so that my students clearly understand the objective for today's lesson.
Resources (3)
Resources (3)
I am having a close reading of a paragraph in the chapter, "Summer Days" to model how to find the main idea.
How am I carrying it out? First, I made a copy of pages 42-45 for the students. We are going to look at the first paragraph that starts the chapter, on page 42. I have my students read it once and then again.
I tell them they are going to be highlighting the main idea in a moment. How will they be able to identify the main idea? I ask them to think of the following:
- Ask yourself, "What is the selection mostly about?"
- Look at the title.
- Look at the pictures. (If applicable.)
- Sometimes the main idea is stated in the first or last sentence.
- Look for clue words that are used repeatedly.
I let them know that after hearing this, if they are ready to highlight the main idea, to go ahead and do this, if they need more time, then they can reread the paragraph again. I give them a few moments to do so as I walk around. I am happy to see that some have found the main idea of the paragraph.
Next, I have a discussion about what sentences they highlighted and ask them to explain why. I am curious to hear their explanation and see whether the process I share with them helped them in identifying the main idea.
In working with English Language Learners, I work on making language tasks as concrete as possible. I work to show written language in different ways and I seek to differentiate the main idea from the supporting details and that is why I planned for the next step.
I have transcribed the paragraph onto sentence strips. In this way, as students are identifying the main idea and supporting details, I will be placing the sentence strips on the blue chart. I am helping my students pay close attention to what they reading. I proceed by placing the the main idea sentence strip on the blue chart, after we build consensus. Then, I proceed to add the supporting details. I ask them to read the paragraph again and to identify the rest of the supporting details.
Another reason I wrote the paragraph on sentence strips is to demonstrate to my students how supporting details can be moved around but the main idea remains the same. This is the completed task.
Additionally, to give more support to my English Language Learners, I read the paragraph with a Summer Days powerpoint after we finish identifying the main idea and supporting details. This powerpoint has pictures to help them visualize the splendors of summer and to help my students deepen their knowledge of the story.

Brain Break
I don't always give my students brain breaks because a transition from the table to the carpet can help them get reenergized, but when they have been sitting for a while and will continue to do so, then I feel a brain break is appropriate.
Basically, I have them take deep breaths and have them move their arms and legs to stretch out.
Now, I give my students the opportunity to apply what I have taught them. They will be working independently in finding the main idea and supporting details with another paragraph. This paragraph is found on pg. 43 and 44. They are are to repeat the process I thought them. I let them know that they need to read the paragraph at least two times before attempting to find the main idea. Rereading is a powerful strategy which aids comprehension.
I will walk around and provide assistance by asking them, "What is the paragraph mostly about? How can you use the title of the chapter and the illustrations to help you out?"
The students are using a template which I created to write the Main Idea and Supporting Details.
Before proceeding to write the main idea on the template, I have asked them to come to me and check with me whether they found the main idea or not. If they did not, I will guide them with the questions I asked earlier. I feel it is important to give students feedback. Learning shouldn't be a guessing game!
Here are some samples of their work:
When all students are done, I will show them the second part of the powerpoint I used earlier. I have included photos for this paragraph too. They will read the paragraph as I move through the powerpoint for this paragraph.
Resources (5)
Socratic Seminar
So now that the students have had a chance to work independently, I am gathering them on the carpet for Socratic Seminar.
We are discussing the question, how are these paragraphs connected? I am looking for them share how these two paragraphs are about summer, nature, how life is everywhere, and the things that happen during summer.
In responding to the question they need to respond with complete sentences and include evidence from the paragraphs. Here is part of our discussion.
•Both Paragraphs Talk About Plants
•Both Paragraphs Talk About Summer
Before proceeding with the discussion, we review the rules for participation and discuss why we meet. The Handing-Off Chart helps my students who need support with how to engage another student in discussion.
I have attached a document that gives more detailed information on how I implement the process for Socratic Seminar in my classroom.
Today, I am closing the lesson during this time, by reviewing our objective and asking them whether we met it or not.

Returning to the lobby after a set of races seems to be pretty slow, but it works so be patient.
Join AceyBongos on a studio tour of Three Fields Entertainment and check out their new game Dangerous Golf?.
Three Fields Entertainment have announced their first game, and it's Dangerous Golf! Looks like it could be lots of fun, so see you there in May! :)
There has been a flurry of excitement caused by Three Fields Entertainment as they announced on Twitter that the next game they will work on will be a spiritual successor to Burnout 3.
Burnout 3 was arguably the greatest of all of the Burnouts. It was the reason for my addiction. It was where our Burnout community was founded as it was the first time we had been able to Burn online, together.
There are many highlights of Burnout 3. The takedowns and rivalries, the tracks and crash junctions, the music and sound effects, the speed and mayhem.
The people behind Criterion Games have started a new studio called Three Fields Entertainment. It seems like both Alex Ward and Fiona Sperry are involved in the new company. The studio website currently does not have a lot of information on it except for contact information and a logo.
Three Fields Entertainment will be creating games for all platforms where they can self-publish.
We have noticed that there are lots of new players online in Burnout Revenge. Are you one of them? Then you should read on as we will give you some really good advice on how to start winning races online!
There is much more to Burnout Revenge than mastering the tracks and doing perfect laps at top speed. Start by selecting the best car: The Revenge Racer.
Then there is the Boost Start. Don't know how to do it? Don't worry, here is how to do the boost start in Burnout Revenge.
You might wonder how people in the same car as you are flying past you when you are driving at top speed (209 MPH)? Since Burnout 2: Point of Impact it has been possible to do something called drift jumping. In Burnout 3: Takedown the Euro Circuit racer was probably the easiest car to do this with (although not many people knew about it or could do it) and you could get speeds well above 300 MPH.
In Burnout Revenge drift jumping became common knowledge and is probably the reason why this game is still very popular. There is no such thing as a perfect race, you can always do better.
If you want to be able to keep up with the best players in Burnout Revenge you need to learn how to do drift jumping and how to maintain the speed you gain.
Start by reading the following two guides: The art of drift jumping and FrozenVapor's drift jumping guide. When you have mastered the basics you should have a look at Nero Angelo's Guide to Maintaining Speed - Part 1 and Nero Angelo's Guide to Maintaining Speed - Part 2.
We also have some helpful hints on how to get some online achievements:

Welcome to the world of BURNOUT!
Alexander Ward and Fiona Sperry have left EA to start a new studio.
More details here: polygon.com
Truck Stop is new Burnout style crash game developed by Adam Sawkins aka "DjArcas".
In the version we have tested you can tweak your vehicles handling and parameters before sending it crashing down an obstacle-filled level. The more damage you inflict on the Crash Test Dummy, the bigger your score!
The mechanics and gameplay feels like a mix of the Crash Modes in Burnout 2: Point of Impact, Burnout 3: Takedown and Burnout Revenge and the idea is probably to create a next-gen crash mode.
The game is developed in Unity and the beta version we have tried feels quite rough and unfinished. Truck Stop is a work in progress and we expect huge improvements as development progresses.
As the game grows and develops, Projector Games plan to listen to the community, and implement more vehicles, levels and ragdolls.
To support the development of the game you can:
Do you want a unique BurnoutAholics.com T-Shirt? We have three 2011 Limited Edition BurnoutAholics.com T-shirts for sale.
Only 8 of these T-Shirts were printed so it is a truly unique item. The proceeds will go to a good cause, i.e. to cover the cost of running BurnoutAholics.com.

Question: Now I'm really confused. I thought the Transportation Security Administration's PreCheck meant that program participants would not be subject to the normal TSA checking procedure. My wife and I used the program for the first time on a recent flight to Miami. We were granted the much shorter PreCheck line but were subjected to the normal TSA check, including the metal detector and carry-on baggage belt. The only benefit I could see was that we didn't have to take our liquids out of the carry-on, although we remained subject to the 3-ounce rule. I had assumed that, upon completion of the program and the payment, we would no longer be subject to the normal screening. That assumption proved incorrect. Can you comment on this or explain why my assumption was incorrect?
Don Brown
Long Beach
Answer: I come from a long line of literal-minded people, including a mother who, when she was preparing to enter nurses' training, was told that she needed to have an appropriate number of brassieres, so she bought nursing bras. It was probably the only time she ever saw laughter from the nuns that ran that hospital.
I understand and identify with Brown's confusion about PreCheck. It might sound as though you get a get-out-of-jail-free card, but that's not the case. Your background has been checked and presumably it won't change; the same cannot be said of your carry-on luggage.
The screening process with the TSA is like death: No one escapes it. Screeners must see your bags; you must walk through whatever security device is being used (millimeter wave machines or metal detectors).
Which brings us to the issue of managed inclusion, which Brown didn't raise but reader Cristy Clark of Seal Beach did.
First, the background: You can become a PreCheck member in three ways: Your airline invites you; you pay $100 and pass a background check as part of the Global Entry program, which gives you expedited entry back into the country and PreCheck privileges; or you pay $85 and get just the TSA PreCheck, which gives you access to airport security's fast lane.
With any of these, you don't have to remove your jacket, shoes, belt, liquids (which can't be larger than 3.4 ounces, even if you're PreCheck) or your laptop from your carry-on bag. There are exceptions to this: I was recently asked to remove my denim jacket because it looked "heavy," the TSA agent said; wearing the same jacket on the way home, I didn't have to. If your shoes have metal stays, you may set off the metal detector so you may as well remove them before you go through that model.
There is a fourth way to become a member of the PreCheck club and that is "managed inclusion," which means that you get a one-time PreCheck privilege without the background check.
Here is what TSA spokesman Ross Feinstein told me about this in an email: "Managed inclusion combines the use of multiple layers of security to indirectly conduct a real-time assessment of passengers at select airports. This initiative will operate at designated checkpoints at different times, depending on passenger volume and other variables."
I saw this firsthand on the return leg of my denim jacket trip; I whipped through security thanks to PreCheck, leaving behind the non-PreCheck hubs. It was Saturday afternoon; security was mobbed so I settled in for what I was sure would be a long wait. Before I could get comfy (does that happen at an airport?), there was the hubs, looking triumphant. He had been waved over for PreCheck. "All they did was swab my hands and send me through the millimeter wave thing," he said. The swabs are analyzed by Explosives Trace Detection machines, which TSA uses more often when randomly choosing people.
How random is random? That's not clear. He may have been assessed by a canine team (though we didn't see any) or a so-called "behavior detection officer" (didn't see any of those either, but we wouldn't have known if we had).
Clark's question centered on whether safety is jeopardized if people are chosen to be part of PreCheck when they haven't been investigated. As Feinstein has pointed out to me in the past, they and their carry-on still must be examined, and they must pass through some sort of detection, whether metal or millimeter machine.
The larger issue with managed inclusion is that people are being pulled aside; they're confused about why and they start to take off jackets, shoes etc. TSA doesn't explain why, and the selectees are left to ponder the why and the what. As long as they're just ruminating and not clogging up the shorter line, that's not a problem. But judging from the mail I receive (and my own observation), they do clog the line because they don't know how they got there or what's expected of them.
I have no gripe with the fact that they're getting a free pass. They won't always get it, whereas those of us with PreCheck will most often get it. What I do have a gripe with is that TSA has done a less-than-stellar job of managing the explanation of that inclusion.
Feinstein has told me in the past that the PreCheck process will eventually be like the FasTrak process used for expedited freeway lanes: It's a matter of time before people figure it out. The comparison is slightly off, to my mind; no one is randomly choosing my car to suddenly get "life-in-the-fast-lane" privileges. Think of the 110 if it were. Or not. There are some things that are too ghastly to consider, and that may include chaos and confusion that trumps even airport security.

It seems that you can't head to a gym or run down your favorite trail these days without finding someone wearing compression garments. Weekend warriors and elite athletes alike are squeezing themselves into knee-high socks, tights and even full bodysuits that promise to improve performance and speed recovery from hard workouts.
Those claims might be true. Or they might not be. A good bit of research has been conducted on the effectiveness of compression gear, and the results are inconclusive.
Two Indiana University studies released in 2010, for example, found no impact on running performance when highly trained distance runners were outfitted with lower-leg "sleeves," and no effect on jumping ability when 25 average guys wore upper-leg compression garments in three different sizes.
Yet Canadian researchers concluded in a 2012 study that compression socks improved blood flow to calves and "may enhance performance, especially in sports that require repeated short bouts of exercise."
As for recovery, the evidence is somewhat more in favor of compression. Australian researchers who put rugby players in waist-to-ankle tights during "active recovery" runs on a treadmill (what you and I would call a cool-down period) discovered that compression helped remove lactate from their blood. Lactate is the byproduct that causes your muscles to burn during intense exercise.
And University of Connecticut researchers who put men and women in "whole body compression garments" after intense weightlifting found that they helped reduce fatigue, swelling, muscle soreness and other side effects of exercise.
How to make sense of all this?
"For runners who buy four pairs of $120 shoes at a time, invest in compression garments for recovery — they won't hurt," says Pete McCall, exercise physiologist for the nonprofit American Council on Exercise. "If budget is a concern, take a cold bath and use ice for recovery. It will be more cost-effective."
Absent any serious conflicting evidence, I'm inclined to believe Alyssa Smith, a 39-year-old recreational runner from Gaithersburg, Md., who swears by her CW-X compression pants, which have panels sown into certain spots, such as the knee joints, where extra support is helpful during and after a run. Support — and the idea that the garment helps return blood to tissues more quickly, bringing them oxygen and flushing out lactate and other byproducts — are the main concepts behind compression. The socks have been used for decades by travelers on long plane rides to prevent blood clots.
During a long run, the tights hold Smith's back and hips tightly and help keep her knees aligned as she fatigues, she said. After long runs — Smith runs 30 to 35 miles a week — she now wears them instead of taking an ice bath, which she never liked, to reduce inflammation and swelling.
"I almost feel that it does what an ice bath does, but it's not as cold," she said. "The tights you can wear all day and sleep in them at night." (Ice baths, by the way, are not grounded in good research, either, according to Kenneth L. Knight, a professor of athletic training at Brigham Young University who has spent his career studying cryotherapy for athletes. But many athletes love them.)
Under Armour, the athletic apparel behemoth, sprang more or less from founder Kevin Plank's belief in the value of compression. Tight-fitting "base layers," as Under Armour calls them, reduce injury and enhance performance by wrapping muscles more tightly against the skeleton, even as they wick away sweat to keep athletes cooler and drier, said Glenn Silbert, vice president of men's, youth and accessories.
"There is good science behind it," he said. The company doesn't release sales figures, but compression gear continues to be a fast-growing part of the business, he said. According to the Sports and Fitness Industry Association, Americans bought about $930 million worth of compression gear and similar garments in 2011, up 5 percent from 2010.
One last, fascinating thought about compression garments: At least one researcher has found a placebo effect when it comes to recovery. That is, athletes recovered better in them because they believed they would.
In July, Rob Aughey, a senior lecturer in sport physiology at Victoria University's School of Sport and Exercise Science in Australia, told the website news.com.au: "When testing CGs in elite athletes, we found that wearing them did result in an improvement in the perception of pain and fatigue for the athlete. However, we found no evidence to suggest that the garments can help improve the actual rate of physical recovery."

I feel fortunate to be old enough to have grown up in a time where listening to the radio and buying albums was one of the activities you looked forward to. Each week my friends and I ventured into San Francisco and hit the Tower Records store on Columbia and Bay Street with hopes of buying a hot new record…or cassette or 8 track…whichever we could afford.

Northwestern junior QB Mason Rudolph has been offered by LSU and Virginia Tech thus far and is looking for more. USC is among the other schools showing some interest.
"They said they would continue to watch my progress," Rudolph said. "It would be cool to hear (about an offer) from them."
Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina and Notre Dame also are showing interest. Rudolph will go to some junior days this spring at the schools which have offered him. He does not have a favorite.
This season Rudolph passed for nearly 4000 yards and 41 touchdowns and he rushed for nearly 500 yards and 10 scores.

This is the last character from the new 2012 upcoming movie 'The Lorax' that I will be submitting today, and then I will be moving onto something else. Now, with this lesson you will be learning "how to draw Ted", step by step. Ted is the secondary main figure from The Lorax, and in the movie he is on a search to find The Lorax. Since I never really watched the cartoon or read the book, I don't know exactly who Ted is. I know he plays a role in the forty seven page book, but I don't know any of his characteristics or anything. One exciting thing about Ted's character is that he is going to be voiced by Zac Efron. I actually like Zac Efron's acting because he is subtle and has a sense of humor. I especially liked him in Charlie St. Cloud and 17 Again. As for Ted, he is going to be just as easy or even easier to replicate. I already have a few comments on the two other characters from The Lorax, and since they did so well, I have a feeling that you will also enjoy learning "how to draw Ted" as well. I guess that's about it for now, I will be back in a few with more drawing fun. Adios people and have fun!

Please be advised you are now leaving the Northern Funds section and being directed to a site maintained by Northern Trust. Please click OK to continue.
Northern Institutional Funds has delegated the voting of portfolio securities to their investment advisers, Northern Trust Investments, Inc., Northern Trust Global Investments Limited and Northern Trust Global Advisors, Inc. (collectively, "Northern Trust"). Northern Trust has adopted proxy voting policies and procedures (the "Proxy Voting Policy") for the voting of proxies on behalf of client accounts for which Northern Trust has voting discretion, including the Funds. Under the Proxy Voting Policy, shares are to be voted in the best interests of the Funds.
A Proxy Committee comprised of senior Northern Trust investment and compliance officers has adopted certain guidelines (the "Proxy Guidelines") concerning various corporate governance issues. The Proxy Committee has the responsibility for the content, interpretation and application of the Proxy Guidelines and may apply these Proxy Guidelines with a measure of flexibility. Northern Trust has retained an independent third party (the "Service Firm") to review proxy proposals and to make voting recommendations to the Proxy Committee in a manner consistent with the Proxy Guidelines.
The Proxy Guidelines provide that Northern Trust will generally vote for or against various proxy proposals, usually based upon certain specified criteria. As an example, the Proxy Guidelines provide that Northern Trust will generally vote in favor of proposals to: (1) repeal existing classified boards and elect directors on an annual basis; (2) adopt a written majority voting or withhold policy (in situations in which a company has not previously adopted such a policy); (3) lower supermajority shareholder vote requirements for charter and bylaw amendments; (4) lower supermajority shareholder vote requirements for mergers and other business combinations; (5) increase common share authorizations for a stock split; (6) implement a reverse stock split; and (7) approve an ESOP or other broad based employee stock purchase or ownership plan, or increase authorized shares for existing plans.
The Proxy Guidelines also provide that Northern Trust will generally vote against proposals to: (1) classify the board of directors; (2) require that poison pill plans be submitted for shareholder ratification; (3) adopt dual class exchange offers or dual class recapitalizations; (4) require a supermajority shareholder vote to approve mergers and other significant business combinations; (5) require a supermajority shareholder vote to approve charter and bylaw amendments; and (6) adopt certain social and environmental proposals. In certain circumstances, the Proxy Guidelines provide that proxy proposals will be addressed on a case-by-case basis, including those regarding executive and director compensation plans, mergers and acquisitions, poison pills, a change in the company's state of incorporation and an increase in authorized common stock.
Except as otherwise provided in the Proxy Voting Policy, the Proxy Committee may vote proxies contrary to the recommendations of the Service Firm if it determines that such action is in the best interests of a Fund. In exercising its discretion, the Proxy Committee may take into account a variety of factors relating to the matter under consideration, the nature of the proposal and the company involved. As a result, the Proxy Committee may vote in one manner in the case of one company and in a different manner in the case of another where, for example, the past history of the company, the character and integrity of its management, the role of outside directors, and the company's record of producing performance for investors justifies a high degree of confidence in the company and the effect of the proposal on the value of the investment.
Similarly, poor past performance, uncertainties about management and future directions, and other factors may lead the Proxy Committee to conclude that particular proposals present unacceptable investment risks and should not be supported. The Proxy Committee also evaluates proposals in context. A particular proposal may be acceptable standing alone, but objectionable when part of an existing or proposed package. Special circumstances may also justify casting different votes for different clients with respect to the same proxy vote.
Northern Trust may occasionally be subject to conflicts of interest in the voting of proxies due to business or personal relationships with persons having an interest in the outcome of certain votes. For example, Northern Trust may provide trust, custody, investment management, brokerage, underwriting, banking and related services to accounts owned or controlled by companies whose management is soliciting proxies. Occasionally, Northern Trust may also have business or personal relationships with other proponents of proxy proposals, participants in proxy contests, corporate directors or candidates for directorships. Northern may also be required to vote proxies for securities issued by Northern Trust Corporation or its affiliates or on matters in which Northern Trust has a direct financial interest, such as shareholder approval of a change in the advisory fees paid by a Fund.
Northern Trust seeks to address such conflicts of interest through various measures, including the establishment, composition and authority of the Proxy Committee and the retention of the Service Firm to perform proxy review and vote recommendation functions. The Proxy Committee has the responsibility to determine whether a proxy vote involves a potential conflict of interest and how the conflict should be addressed in conformance with the Proxy Voting Policy.
The Proxy Committee may resolve such conflicts in any of a variety of ways, including the following: voting in accordance with the Proxy Guideline based recommendation of the Service Firm; voting in accordance with the recommendation of an independent fiduciary appointed for that purpose; voting pursuant to client direction by seeking instructions from the Board of Trustees of the Trust; or by voting pursuant to a "mirror voting" arrangement under which shares are voted in the same manner and proportion as shares over which Northern Trust does not have voting discretion. The method selected by the Proxy Committee may vary depending upon the facts and circumstances of each situation.
Northern Trust may choose not to vote proxies in certain situations or for a Fund. This may occur, for example, in situations where the exercise of voting rights could restrict the ability to freely trade the security in question (as is the case, for example, in certain foreign jurisdictions known as "blocking markets"). In circumstances in which the Service Firm does not provide recommendations for a particular proxy, the Proxy Committee may obtain recommendations from analysts at Northern Trust who review the issuer in question or the industry in general. The Proxy Committee will apply the Proxy Guidelines as discussed above to any such recommendation.
This summary of Northern Institutional Funds' Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures and Guidelines is also contained in Northern Institutional Funds' Statements of Additional Information, which are posted in the Resources section.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Florida Sen. Marco Rubio isn't shedding much light on Mitt Romney's search for a running mate even after the Republican presidential candidate said his campaign was checking out Rubio.
The 41-year-old first-term senator, a rising GOP star, is firm in saying he won't discuss Romney's selection process.
Rubio says he's confident Romney will make an "excellent choice" and that those who support Romney "should give him space to do that."
Romney said Tuesday that his campaign is "thoroughly vetting" Rubio, and he took issue with reports about who was and wasn't on the short list for the No. 2 spot.
Rubio was asked Wednesday on "CBS Early Morning" about what happens in the background checking process. He quickly shifted topics to the recent release of his autobiography, "An American Son."

Known as the Bird! the criminals allegedly working for an organized crime group
Monterrey, NL-The Justice Department announced that is offering a reward of 248,337 pesos, to try and locate one of the main leaders of a gang of Kidnappers that are operating in the citrus region.
The authorities revealed that since last Friday they captured his accomplice, who is now being held for further investigation.
State officials indicated that the criminals allegedly working for an organized crime group that is operating in the municipalities of Montemorelos, Allende, General Terán and Linares.
The leader of the kidnappers was identified as Ruben Chapa Rios, aka "The Bird", who has a long criminal record. He is also cited as the mastermind of more than 20 executions in recent months committed against residents of several municipalities.
According to reports collected by the authorities, the thugs were leading a band of more than 20 offenders who were charged with deprivation of liberty [kidnapping] of merchants and businessmen in the region.
The fugitive is considered highly dangerous, and a very violent person. Since last February federal and state authorities, have been working in concert to try to locate this band of kidnappers.
The prisoner is identified as Alejandro Cantu Bent, alias "El Mago" or "Perico", 28-year-old, who resided in Montemorelos.
Authorities said that perhaps the defendant and has formed a new band, because there are several reports of missing persons in this area.
They explained that during the raids conducted in several properties of Montemorelos, it was possible to image the criminal leader.
Therefore, there were posters displaying his image, the Attorney General, has issued a reward in the amount of 248,337 pesos to whoever provides information in the arrest and incarceration of this individual.

Photos purporting to be the front assembly of the iPhone 5 show what appears to be an NFC chip, suggesting contactless payments could be made with the next-generation Apple device.
The images show the chip sitting at the top of the phone next to the camera lens which, interestingly, has been moved from the centre to the right-hand side of the phone.
Previous images said to be that of the iPhone 5 have also shown the camera's positioning to have been moved. The introduction of an NFC chip could well be the reason why.
It's not the first time Apple has been linked with integrating NFC technology into the iPhone 5. At its WWDC event in June, Apple spoke about its Passbook app and how it would have the ability to house tickets and store card information within the application.
By introducing an NFC chip to the iPhone 5, these capabilities would be extended to being able to make wireless payments by simply tapping the phone against an NFC reader in a store, for example. It could also make it possible to pass information such as contacts between devices by simply "bumping" them together.

Dimming the Lights
The Good Life
While in Graham Greene's novel the bathos of the hero's predicament is given a certain gravitas by way of the author's putative Roman Catholic faith, which condemns adulterers to hell and forbids divorce, in McInerney's novel the lovers' predicament seems less clear, for divorce has become a commonplace in their respective worlds (TriBeCa, Upper East Side) and theological constraints are unknown. In addition, both the lovers' unworthy spouses have been unfaithful to them. McInerney would seem to recognize the risks in telling in such detail an utterly conventional Caucasian-heterosexual-adulterous love story set among middle-aged, privileged Manhattanites in and around the time of September 11: as the lover of a rich retired investment banker named Luke McGavock, Corrine is well aware of "the banality of the situation, the stiltedness of [the lovers'] exchange."
An admirer of the prose of Graham Greene, notably The Heart of the Matter which she hopes to adapt into a screenplay for a high-quality independent film, Corrine finds herself enmeshed in a domestic narrative woven of clichés, as both the guilty adulterous wife ("You have to think about the children") and the betrayed wife (whose callow husband has been "fucking some slut for two years"), doomed to trite, embarrassing situations, stale TV dialogue:
[Her husband's] hangdog expression really pissed her off—as if he somehow thought he was the one who'd been trespassed against. "Just tell me one thing," she said. "I want to know what she could possibly have that I don't." Aware, as soon as she said this, of what a cliché it was, how much she sounded like the victim in some horrible Lifetime movie.
Nor does her husband Russell reply in a way other than clichéd:
"Do you really want to know? Because she's not you. She's different. That's all. Not better. Different. Because—maybe you're right, maybe she is a slut. And you're not. You're my wife."
Though McInerney speaks contemptuously of women's television programming, the party scene in which Russell's slut-lover, Trisha, brazenly outs him in front of Corrine and other guests is pure Sex and the City: "'So, this is Corrine,' [Trisha] said, smiling brightly, 'who doesn't give blow jobs.'" Mischievous Trisha has even brought along printed-out e-mail messages from Russell to read aloud to party guests: "My dearest Trisha. I can't sleep thinking about you. Corrine is asleep in the other room and all I can think about is you on your knees…in a posture of worship and submission." But where one of the spirited young women of Sex and the City would have thrown a drink into someone's face and exited, Corrine simply casts her husband an "excoriating gaze" and flees the scene.
Corrine's edgy relationship with her free-living, sexually promiscuous, and druggie younger sister Hilary, who comes to stay with her and her family, is the very stuff of TV sitcom until it's revealed that Hilary is…

AARP response distorts letter
My last letter has been distorted by the Nebraska state president of the AARP.
His "party line dogma" and wrongheaded assertions do not follow his own request, from in his last letter to the editor, to "cut the spin and have an honest conversation about…Medicare."
So let's have that "honest conversation." Let's start with AARP's motivation for supporting a health care plan that will bankrupt the already fragile economy, drive doctors away from providing care to seniors and cause hospitals, many in small communities, to close.
Why is Mr. Eppler and the AARP so high on "reducing bloated subsidies to private Medicare Advantage plans"? Well according to a report to the House Ways and Means Committee entitled, The AARP America Doesn't Know, it's about making lots of money.
As Medicare Advantage is phased out, Medigap sales will necessarily increase. And according to this report, "This will have a direct, significant and positive impact on the future profits at AARP."
The report continues, "The Democrats' health care law, which AARP strongly endorses, could result in a windfall for AARP that exceeds over $1 billion during the next 10 years."
So now it appears that "strengthening Medicare for today's seniors and future generations" is not the real story. It's really about strengthening the AARP.
Now let's "cut the spin." Eppler doesn't believe that a "bribe" could happen. He misrepresented my letter saying that I "refer(s) to a purported 'bribe' in the Affordable Care Act." This is not correct. I was talking about Ben Nelson, before there was Obamacare.
Ben Nelson took a "hand-out," an "inducement," a "carrot," a "sweetener," a "kickback," whatever you want to call it. To "entice," "persuade," "buy off" or "induce," however you want to say it, him to be the 60th vote that gave America Obamacare. Ben Nelson, therefore, personally gave us the un-affordable care act, that a super majority of voters in America did not want.
That quid pro quo: Ben Nelson's vote for a, yet seen, $17 billion payment to Nebraska (the Cornhusker Kickback) is what stinks about Washington.
Mr Eppler's, statement on how the ACA will, "…Change how Medicare pays doctors and hospitals…," shows that he doesn't understand what's at stake.
Mr. Eppler asserted, in his last letter, the ACA was needed, "(to) extend the solvency of the Medicare Part A…". In an Aug. 4 editorial, the Wall Street Journal clearly states the opposite. In part it said that, "Medicare's Prospective payments are low enough that further reductions may jeopardize access to care and in many cases threaten the viability of hospitals."
Obamacare may very well kill small town hospitals and will drive doctors from providing care to seniors. Certainly, it will make it nearly impossible for small communities to recruit newer physicians to replace the aging doctor population. Why do so many voters in the U.S. understand this and you and the AARP don't? Oh that's right…$1 billion over the next 10 years. No "spin," just facts.

It's all been a bit quiet on the Skype for Windows Phone front since Microsoft acquired Skype for US$8.5 billion last year – and after the missed end-of-2011 deadline we were beginning to lose hope of ever seeing the video calling service on Windows Phones.
But the latest whisperings from The Verge now suggest that Skype for Windows Phone 7 Mango devices will be coming soon. The first iteration of Skype will not be deeply integrated within Microsoft's OS until its next iteration – dubbed Apollo – later this year, but we're sure that Windows Phone owners will still welcome free Skype to Skype calls.
Mobile World Congress seems as good a place as any for Microsoft to strut its stuff, so we'll keep an eye out for any Skype-toting Windows Phone devices while we're in Barcelona next month.

The only difference to the mold is the head and extra weapons.
I wouldn't get my hopes up that these come looking as awesomely painted when they hit shelves. These look like promo shots and those always get extra paint apps.
These are definitely not Has/Tak promo shots, they aren't horribly photoshopped and mistransformed like Hasbro always does and the paint jobs are different from Takara's. Robotkingdom took these of Hasbro figures they have in-hand.
I would love to see these before Christmas because then we'd actually have a hope of seeing them in decent quantities. Alas, Wave 2 is just barely hitting up here in Canada so I doubt we'll see these soon, if at all. Although, back East they're just now getting PRiD Deluxe wave 2, so maybe there's hope.

The best way to learn about wine is to taste it. Sure, you can read all about it in a book, but what's the fun in that?
The easiest and most enjoyable way to learn about wine is to go wine tasting. Tasting room hosts are hospitable, they encourage questions and are willing to share their knowledge about wine.
Most wine-tasting rooms open at 10 or 11 a.m. and generally close around 5 p.m. Many charge tasting fees (usually $5 to $10) that are normally deducted if you purchase wine.
If the tasting room is not crowded, it's the perfect time to learn. Keep in mind, there are no stupid or dumb wine questions.
Most hosts are friendly wine lovers who really enjoy their job. When they detect your sincerity (taking notes is a good idea), they will share all kinds of wine facts and information. And if you get lucky, some hosts will even let you taste those "special" wines not on the tasting list. Yes!
If you are going to visit winery tasting rooms, you should have a designated driver. If there are eight or more in your group, you should call ahead and notify the winery of your visit. Arriving in a limo without notice is just plain rude.
Many wineries have beautiful picnic areas and are happy to have you use them, so pack a nice lunch. Most will let you use their wine glasses; just don't fill them with Bud Lite. Not cool.
If you are doing a wine walk, decide on a lunch spot ahead of time. It's likely your group will break up. The temptation of shopping vs. wine tasting is strong. (Just ask the Navigator.)
Having a late lunch is a good idea as everyone should be hungry. Murphys, Lodi, Paso Robles and Santa Cruz are excellent wine walk locations.
When tasting, have some awareness. You are tasting wine, not drinking wine! If the tasting room is full, get your taste and move out of the way. If you don't like the wine, use the dump bucket. There is no need to broadcast to the tasting room that wine No. 5 really "sucks."
And pinkie-waving wine snobs who talk in mumbo-jumbo wine-speak, stay home and read the book.
Have fun learning about wine and be a good guest. Cheers!

Currently there are 2 books on the New York Times bestseller list with World War II settings: All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr (72 weeks on the list) and Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (33 weeks on the list). World War II remains a popular setting for novels with a diversity of plots, characters, and styles.

The whole family is invited to a Día de los muertos celebration 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, October 24, at the Fond du Lac Public Library's Children's Room.

Teen readers are the lucky ones; the new book club at the Fond du Lac Public Library, Pizza & Pages, puts a tasty twist on the standard by combining great reads with a craft and pizza.
Kids ages 6 to 12 who attend school in Fond du Lac School District get a bonus: early release on the first Fridays of the month starting in October. Parents perhaps aren't as thrilled. The Fond du Lac Public Library has stepped in with a free program, Half Day Party at the Library, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. every first Friday of the month starting October 2.
As the season turns, nighttime comes sooner. October looms, with ghouls around every corner. This is the inspiration for the 11th annual Fond du Lac Reads choice of Dracula, by Bram Stoker.

Game designer Phil Fish showed off his upcoming game Fez at the Austin Game Developer's Conference. It was the first live demo of the game.
Fish walk through some of the features we've seen before (2D game rotating through 3D space). However, game site Kombo reports that Fish did touch briefly on the plot line for the fez character hero named Gomez.
"So what you do in Fez is you collect cubes. There's a really important cube that explodes and you have to find all the pieces of it. Kind of like a triforce," Fish told the audience. "I don't want to spoil the story too much, it gets kind of metaphysical."
Not only metaphysical, but hard. According to Fish, the game had to be simplified somewhat so playtesters could even play through the game. They thought it was too hard. "I like to fuck with your mind," said Fish. Okay, then!

The state Senate on Monday killed a proposed constitutional amendment that would have granted a homestead exemption break to everyone over age 65.
The proposal, sponsored by state Sen. Ronnie Johns, R-Sulpur, received 8 votes for to 27 against. Twenty-six votes were needed for Senate passage.
Senate Bill 74 would have taken the income test out of a constitutional provision under which a homeowner age 65 or older can get their property tax assessment frozen. Today, the provision applies to those with incomes up to $69,400. The income limit is adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index.
Johns said assessors are having trouble verifying people's income. He said some people are getting the exemption when they are not eligible. "This bill brings equity to the whole system" said Johns.
But opponents said Johns was taking the wrong approach.
"You are voting for a tax increase on everybody under 65 years old and businesses in the area," said state Sen. Jack Donahue, R-Mandeville.
State Sen. Eric LaFleur, D-Ville Platte, said the constitutional provision was approved to give low income people a property tax break. "You are expanding the original objective of the bill," said LaFleur. He said efforts should instead be toward helping assessors find a way to better police income requirements.

Defing Free Speech and questioning Masonry
My opinion/my heart/my mind 30/07/06
Defining free speech

Dear Mr. Oxford:
Dear Perry Mason:
Hello Is anybody home? The lights appear to be on
Knock, knock
Whos there?
Orange who?
Orange you glad youre still breathing?
Some would say yes and some would say no. So many are just trying to survive this living nightmare called modern life. Do this, dont do that. Cant you read the signs? - classic lyrics from a classic 70s band.
Are you Just another brick in the wall?
My mama, loves me - she loves me. She get down on her knees and hug me. She loves me like a rock. She loves me like a rock, oh baby she loves me. The music was so much kinder then. I am just 40 years old and thats the word I am searching for - kind.
p.779 Concise Tenth Edition Oxford Dictionary
kind: noun. 1. class or type of people or things having similar characteristics 2. character; nature - the trials were different in kind from any that proceeded them 3. each of the elements (bread and wine) of the Eucharist.
kind: adjective. 1. considerate and generous 2. (kind to) not harmful to 3. archaic affectionate, loving
Origin: old English gecynde natural, native; middle English well-born, well-bred whence courteous, gentle
Hmmm bears some thought.
Humankind. Kind of says it all when properly defined in black and white.
Hmmm free speech.
p. 406 £2.99 old paperback Oxford dictionary
free speech: noun. the right to express your opinions
Concise Tenth Edition Oxford Dictionary (hard cover)
The foremost authority on English language
The worlds favourite dictionary
The Worlds Most Trusted Dictionaries - front cover of said dictionary
[scanning the first column of p.564 for free speech; free space free spoken no free speech(?)]
p.564 Concise Tenth Edition Oxford Dictionary
free spoken: adj. archaic speaking candidly and openly
My dear Mr. Oxford, speaking candidly and openly can get me arrested and has got me cautioned as a serious organised criminal while curiously, the noun free speech no longer appears in your most recent dictionary(?) and is barely exercised in English society since Tony the Toad tried to grinch it through his ridiculous SOCPA legislation, specifically section 132-137, enacted by section 138; his feeble attempt to shield himself and his political cronies from public protest regarding his asinine actions in collusion with Bushy Boy from across the pond, amongst other well known war criminals and war mongers. WTF mate? Also, while I have your attention, something else caught my attention on the exact same pages of both the old and new Oxford dictionaries I own.
p.406 £2.99 old paperback Oxford dictionary
Freemason: n. a member of an international order set up to promote fellowship and mutual help, with elaborate secret ceremonies
Freemasonry: n. [no written definition offered (?)]
Cool - I dont much like secrets nor secret societies; rather reminds me of Aleister creepy Crowley and the Golden Dawn - regardless. I am not into Satanism/evil.
p.564 Concise Tenth Edition Oxford Dictionary
Freemason: n. a member of an international order established for mutual help and fellowship, which holds elaborate secret ceremonies
Freemasonry: n. 1. the systems and institutions of the Freemasons 2. instinctive sympathy between people with something in common
What exactly is this secret something that Freemasons hold as a uniting bond? What is the secret that so many in positions of power share? Something is an unspecified or unknown thing - singular; a thing in common - an action, an activity, a secret, a concept or a thought. Is it an inanimate object that every mason owns? Highly unlikely.
Mr. Perry Mason, what is your thang? What unites yall? Whats the secret to your ceremonies? You can only but ask. - a very wise Irish woman taught me the importance of that phrase. It reminds me of the words to the song Lean on me. (I adore Bill Withers and his music.)
For no one can fill those of your needs that you wont let show. Im gonna call on you brother when I need a hand; we all need somebody to lean on. I just might have a problem that youd understand I always think of this song as a prayer when I sing it.
Does your secret have anything to do with the noun and God given right of free speech being removed from p.564 of the Concise Tenth Edition of the Oxford Dictionary? Just a thought. Both definitions appeared on the same page in the reality of the Oxford dictionary of days gone by and the situation being in todays present day modern reality, is, the noun Freemasonry has gained a written definition while the noun and right of free speech has been removed/omitted/deleted from the exact same page, only to be replaced by an adjective that is not a right by definition. I am simply stating and questioning the obvious.
I do not accept the loss of the definition of the right of free speech from your dictionary, Mr. Oxford, nor from English society, Toady: less speed, more haste. The same clever Irish woman taught me that one too. Are you paying attention Toady? Mr. Perry Mason, what is this instinctive sympathy or fellow feeling between masons?
instinctive: adj. related to or prompted by instinct
instinct: n. 1. an innate pattern of behaviour in animals in response to certain stimuli 2. a natural or instinctive way of acting or thinking 3. a natural propensity or skill
[part of who you are; part and parcel of how you act or think - thinking often reflects into action; a natural propensity or skill]
sympathy: n. 1. feelings of pity or sorrow for someone elses misfortune 2. understanding between people; common feeling
fellow feeling: n. sympathy based on shared experiences
Something intuitive; something you all have in common; based on a shared experience - a common way of thinking and acting. I dont give up. Whats the coo Mr. Perry Mason? I believe it involves some form of sympathy.
Personally, I have always loved the word empathy; in fact, greatly preferred it over its counterpart of sympathy. An old Navy sea dog taught me that sympathy is in the dictionary right where it belongs - between shit and syphilis. Instead of feeling sad for someone and looking down your nose while you do nothing, humanity should feel for and understand her fellow man - empathy - which should lead humanity into action; thats what emotions are for.
The word emotion stems from the Latin verb motere: to move; motivate. Emotions are meant to lead the body into action(fight or flight response, mating), not apathy which is controlled through greed and fear - advertising and the news. Sympathy can drain you while empathy can empower you. Empathy is a noun meaning having the ability to empathize - a verb, an action.
empathize: v. understand and share the feelings of another
Understanding is always important in my mind. Sympathy can be an understanding between people or a common feeling and the primary definition of sympathy is feelings of sorrow for anothers misfortune. To sympathize is to feel or express sympathy which appears directly linked to misfortune whereas empathy is understanding and sharing the feelings of another without any directed link or specific ties to misfortune or feelings of sadness or sorrow. Sharing joy is amazing!
A common feeling of pity, a shared understanding based on shared experiences - eugenics keeps popping into my mind, for some odd reason; a Darwinian selection of the fittest complete with a modern day fight or flight response: todays refugees fleeing their homeland and armed nationals, men and boys, defending and protecting their homes and families from foreign invaders; sometimes even daring to retaliate!
p.491 Concise Tenth Edition Oxford Dictionary
eugenics: plural noun (treated as singular) the science of using controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable characteristics in a population eu + gen + ics
eu: Greek well
eus: Greek good
gen: Greek genes born of a specified kind
Greek gignomai be born, become
gen: biblical reference to Genesis
ics: suffix (forming nouns) denoting a subject of study or a branch of knowledge or a field of activity: politics
I spy with my little eye the truth always comes to light. Considering the fact that eugenics was the predecessor to the Nazi train of thought, I find this rather kind definition of such an evil way of thinking - eugenics - highly offensive, personally. I will be writing my next paper on the pioneering of eugenics in Canada during the early 1900s, before(?) the Nazis even existed, trust.
p.592 Concise Tenth Edition Oxford Dictionary
genocide: n. the deliberate killing of a very large number of people from a particular ethnic group or nation
Political eugenic thinking enables todays genocide of the Lebanese children, the Palestinian children, the Iraqi children and the babes of many other nations; think about it for just a minute. Genocide is not kind. Nations are made up of children and families of varying ethnic groups. Genocide is innately wrong.
Hitler anyone??? Tony you are a war criminal - many times worse!
Is humanity still humane?
Does free speech still exist Mr. Oxford?
What is your secret, Mr. Perry Mason?
This enquiring mind wants to know just trying to understand my roots.
Anti copyright Charity Sweet defining free speech as the right to express your opinions; my apologies to Pink Floyd and the other artists I have quoted a few lyrics from - my heart is in the right place; sincere gratitude to Mr. Doug Russong - Grade 10 English , Dartmouth High School, who taught me to understand poetry and the importance of the 5 ws

As some Florida citrus officials predicted at the time, another spate of national news stories in late November about potentially harmful interactions between widely prescribed drugs and grapefruit juice appeared to have little negative impact on juice sales.
WINTER HAVEN | As some Florida citrus officials predicted at the time, another spate of national news stories in late November about potentially harmful interactions between widely prescribed drugs and grapefruit juice appeared to have little negative impact on juice sales.
U.S. grapefruit juice sales for the four weeks ending Dec. 22 fell 6.7 percent, but that represented a slight improvement from the previous four-week period, when sales fell 7 percent, according to reports from the Florida Department of Citrus.
The most recent figures reflect sales during the month following the Nov. 26 release of a new Canadian study co-authored by David Bailey, emeritus professor of pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Western Ontario, showing drug companies have introduced 26 new medications during the past four years with potentially dangerous interactions if taken with grapefruit.
Bailey in 1991 published the first study establishing some oral drugs, such as cholesterol-lowering and heart medicines, can cause harm if taken with grapefruit or grapefruit juice. Middle-aged and older people, the biggest consumers of grapefruit products, also tend to take those drugs, and sales fell as a result.
"I think basically it wasn't new news to consumers of the product," said Bob Norberg, an economist and Citrus Department deputy executive director, of the impact of the Nov. 26 study, which received national news coverage on television networks and major newspapers.
In many cases, safe alternative medications are available for cholesterol, heart and other medications with an interaction potential, according to the Citrus Department.
Consumption of grapefruit juice has declined steadily as doctors and pharmacists advised patients about the possibility of harmful interactions. Per capita U.S. consumption has fallen from 0.44 gallons in the 2000-01 season to 0.15 gallons in 2011-12, department figures show.
Record high prices for grapefruit juice has also played a role in recent years, Norberg said.
"I think pricing has a lot to do with it. Grapefruit juice prices are still at record highs," he said.
Retail grapefruit juice prices averaged $6.84 a gallon during the period ending Dec. 22, up from $6.63 a year earlier.
Stubbornly high retail prices are also keeping orange juice sales in a rut, Norberg said.
Retail OJ sales fell 4.3 percent in the recent monthly period despite an average retail price increase of just 0.9 percent from a year ago, the report said. But retail OJ remained near record levels at an average $6.18 for the period.
Per capita OJ consumption in the U.S. has fallen from 5.2 gallons in the 2001-01 season to 3.2 gallons last season. Norberg and Matt Salois, the department's chief economist, had predicted an OJ sales rebound in 2012-13 with a drop in the average retail price.
Last month they revised a bullish October forecast but still predicting the average retail OJ price would fall 3 percent in 2012-13 with an equivalent rise in juice sales.
But Norberg backed off even the revised forecast on Monday as OJ prices showed no sign of coming down soon.
Juice processors are holding back on price decreases after the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Dec. 11 shaved its 2012-13 Florida orange crop projection by 8 million boxes, or 5 percent, Norberg said. That increased the farm prices processors will pay for this season's fruit.
"I think the market wants to get through the next couple of (monthly USDA) market reports and to see if there are any additional crop losses because of weather events," Norberg said.
Harris-Mann Climatology of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, a private consulting firm followed in the Florida citrus industry, has predicted a stronger chance of a citrus freeze in the middle of this month.

RBOB gasoline (NYMEX:RBQ13) lead last week as the highest percent mover for the week rising 7.58%. Last week August 2013 RBOB opened at $2.9015 and closed the week at $3.1175. On July 1, gasoline opened at $2.7101 and since then we have only seen one red candle in July.
Price action on the weekly chart shows how $2.9000 was completely penetrated as a range top while the market moved up last week to $3.1175. Price now is hanging around $3.1000, an area of past resistance. After this, the next stop to watch for is $3.2000 and after that $3.4000 could be in sight.
In today's June Retail Sales report it showed service station sales up 0.7% as pump prices increased. Keep an eye on big money in the coming weeks to get insight if RBOB will re-test $3.4000. If increased bull posturing, then it is on-ward and up-ward for gasoline and the prices we pay at the pumps.
