3 Makeup Looks Inspired by My Favorite Albums of 2016
Since I'm a visual person I hardly ever remember the album title but I just remember what the album art looks like.
I hate checking bags when I travel, but trying to limit the amount of liquids I bring with me tends to be a pretty tedious task. (I mean, skincare alone, am I right?)
I'm going on a week-long trip for my 30th birthday, so I've been going through all of my liquid products and trying to find ways to condense things or find non-liquid versions of things. So instead of liquid foundation, I found a few foundation sticks that are great for travel.
Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Stick Foundation
I've been using this foundation quite a bit lately, especially when shooting xoVain articles because I think it photographs so well. The formula is quite heavy, though, so I tend to just add a few swipes here and there close to the center of my face, and blend outward to the rest of my face and down my neck.
What I do like about the heaviness of the coverage is that I can double this stick as a foundation and a concealer, saving me even more space. I do find that I have to use a little extra powder in the T-zone to avoid oiliness, but overall, I really like it.
I've written about this dual-ended stick foundation before (one side is foundation, the other is bronzer) and I'm still a fan. I like that this has some options for darker skin tones and I like that it's a two-for-one kind of deal.
The coverage is moderate, and it's one of those foundations that I think looks even better as the day wears on. I have to add a little extra powder to my T-zone with this one also.
Sonia Kashuk Undetectable Fondation Stick
This foundation is a lot lighter-coverage than the former two but it's for that reason that I love it for days when I'm planning on doing a more "no-makeup" or "natural" look. It's buildable if you prefer heavier coverage, but it's thin enough that layering won't make it look cakey. This one also is quite long-wearing despite the lighter coverage.
I'm a pretty big fan of most NYX products in general, so it's no surprise to me that this stick is great. It's about a medium (buildable) coverage that wears pretty well. I do get a little bit of pooling around the underside of my nose by about midday, but it's nothing that a blotting sheet can't handle.

Camping World Stadium
In 2014, Camping World Stadium was rebuilt into a state-of-the-art venue capable of hosting world-class events, including the inaugural AutoNation Cure Bowl game. About 90% of the stadium was torn down and replaced, including portions that have stood since its original construction in 1937. Only the upper decks, which were added in 1990 and remain viable as part of a modern facility, remained.
The new Camping World Stadium offers an enhanced fan experience at every level, with wider, chair-back seating, new concessions areas and restrooms, and new club and premium spaces throughout the building.
In addition to being the temporary home to Orlando's new professional soccer team, the Orlando City Lions, the Camping World Stadium hosts signature annual events including the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl, Russell Athletic Bowl, Florida Blue Florida Classic and Monster Jam. The AutoNation Cure Bowl is proud to be the newest addition to this prestigious list. In addition, the new venue will allow Orlando to pursue more high-profile sports tourism events such as neutral-site college football games, NFL preseason games, international soccer matches, big-name concerts and more.
Camping World Stadium boasts:
- Newly-constructed lower bowl
- Vibrant open-air façade
- Expanded concourse giving fans on lower and upper levels the ability to circle the facility 360 degrees
- New lower bowl seating with six more inches of leg room in each row
- 10,000-square-foot party deck
- Additional suites on the stadium's west side, increasing the total number of suites to 34 with seating for 1,000
- Open-air and enclosed Club seating with 33"-wide tread space in aisles and available food service and seating for over 6,000
- Additional restrooms added along concourses to better serve patrons
- Additional elevators for improved access to upper levels
- New, lower-level concession stands with an average one point-of-sale location to serve every 250 patrons
- New ticket windows in the northwest corner to supplement Box Office in the stadium's south end (constructed in 2010)
- Improved disability seating with enhanced sightlines
- Enhanced sound system featuring coverage in concourses, restrooms and concession areas
- Large video boards in both end zones and closed-circuit television monitors in concourse and concession areas
- New team locker rooms featuring new lockers, restrooms, showers, training rooms, a physicians exam room and small interview areas accessible from the locker room
- Reconstructed press box and suites on the stadium's west side featuring updated amenities for working press, food service areas and boxes for TV, radio and coaches
- Flexibility for expansion in the south end zone.

And we're finally done! Episode 01 to 07 will get BD releases when I get around to it. I can't imagine them needing too much work.
And we're finally done! Episode 01 to 07 will get BD releases when I get around to it. I can't imagine them needing too much work.
Almost done! Only one episode left.
Brave Witches apparently stuck in TLC limbo at the moment. If things don't start moving in the next couple days, I'll figure something out.
In case you were wondering, we're going to be sticking with the BD encodes for the rest of the series. I also somehow managed to get both inserts done this ep.
torch stinx. He shifted the script to the BD raw, making me throw away our AoD encode. Also thanks to Blankaex for translating the extended ED and tlc-ing.
Insert in the middle isn't subbed because it's inaudible. Official lyrics don't help either because it's an extended edition. It's all in engrish anyways. I'm sure you don't want to see that.
I believe I said we would be doing this once upon a time, so here it is!
Also, Chloe is changed to Clo where appropriate since I wasn't paying enough attention to her name while Herz was airing. I believe some of you pointed that out too so I'll be changing that for the batch and/or BDs if we ever get around to them.
That's right. The batch is finally done. Prepare to be underwhelmed!
What's different:
So, Fibi, why did the batch take so long?
Well, given how long it's taken, I imagine you've done some super-awesome work and the like, right?
Thanks to corocoro for some last minute QC… otherwise these wouldn't have even been re-QC'd.
We do indeed intend to do season two.
Add a two digit episode number onto the trigger for the specific ep required, or view http://xdcc.hiryuufansubs.com for copypasta.

Download citation file: RIS (Zotero) EndNote BibTex Medlars ProCite RefWorks Reference Manager Mendeley © Copyright Tools Search Book Top Return Clip Autosuggest Results ++ The stiff-person syndrome (SPS) is a rare neurologic disorder of uncertain cause, characterized by severe and incapacitating axial and proximal limb rigidity due to continuous motor unit activity. Rigidity is often enhanced by anxiety, sudden movements, or external stimuli causing intermittent painful muscle spasms, often leading to skeletal deformity. Variants of this disorder include focal involvement of one limb ("stiff-limb syndrome"), or additional neurological symptoms suggestive of involvement of subcortical gray matter ("progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus") (PEWR) and occasionally secondary to malignant disease (paraneoplastic SPS). Antineuronal antibodies often associated with other autoimmune diseases are characteristic features of this disorder. The disease follows a progressive, unremitting course, resulting in pronounced disability, if left untreated. ++ Since the publication of the previous edition of this book, several advances have been made in the understanding of the immunobiology and pathogenesis of SPS and PEWR; a better delineation of the clinical features and boundaries of these disorders; as well as establishing clear guidelines for its treatment. Newer therapeutic options have also been added. ++ This unusual syndrome was first described by Moersch and Woltman in 1956.1 The authors coined the term "stiff-man syndrome" in reporting 14 patients with clinical features of progressive fluctuating muscular rigidity and spasms. Their first case, a 49-year-old man, initially complained of a feeling of tightness of the neck musculature of variable occurrence. Over a period of 4 years, this disorder progressively affected the muscles of the shoulder, back, abdomen, and thighs, causing the muscles to appear stiff and "board-like." Continuous muscle contraction causing pronounced stiffness of the axial and limb muscles forced the patient to walk in a peculiar way that was both slow and awkward. Voluntary movement or passive displacement of the limbs triggered prolonged and painful muscle spasms. If severe enough, the spasms caused postural instability and falls. In the words of the authors, the patient would fall like a "wooden man." The additional 13 patients in the original report were similar in all respects. ++ The clinical features of this previously unreported condition were described in detail in Moersch and Woltman's paper. No other signs of central or peripheral nervous system involvement were present in their 14 patients. The only additional clinical abnormality found in 4 of the 14 original patients was diabetes mellitus. Five of their 14 patients underwent electromyographic (EMG) studies, revealing motor unit activity resembling "that which accompanies contraction of voluntary muscle." In their 1967 review on the subject, Gordon and colleagues2 summarized the EMG findings reported in the literature until then as "one of persistent tonic contraction reflected in constant firing even at rest." No attempt at relaxation could alter the continuous motor unit discharges according to these authors. Their observations provided the electrophysiological substrate of muscle stiffness in these patients. ++ Since the publication of Moersch and Woltman's description of the syndrome, more than 100 cases have been reported from different regions of the world. +...

Kenya has pulled off the biggest shock so far at cricket's World Cup, scoring a 53-run victory in Nairobi over 1996 champion and Group B leader Sri Lanka.
Host Kenya batted first Monday and was held to 210-for-nine from its 50 overs. Muttiah Muralitharan took four wickets for 28 and Chaminda Vaas chipped in with three-for-41 to become the tournament's highest wicket-taker.
The Kenyans then bowled Sri Lanka out for 157 with legspinner Collins Obuya taking five-for-24, a national record in a one-day game. The win sparked scenes of wild jubilation both on and off the field, and lifted Kenya to 12 points in the group. A victory over Bangladesh in Johannesburg Saturday will give Kenya a great chance of reaching the second round for the first time. Meanwhile in Bulawayo, defending champion Australia became the first team to qualify for the Super-Six round after easing to a seven wicket victory over Zimbabwe on Monday.
Zimbabwe scored 246-for-nine, the highest to be achieved against Australia so far in the tournament. But Australia passed the victory target with seven wickets and 15 balls to spare.

No activity loss was observed after storage at:
In lyophilized state for 1 year (4oC); After reconstitution under sterile conditions for 3 months (-70oC).
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is also known as NARC1 (neural apoptosis regulated convertase), is a newly identified subtilase belonging to the peptidase S8 subfamily. Mouse PCSK9 is synthesized as a soluble zymogen, and undergoes autocatalytic intramolecular processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, resulting in the cleavage of its propeptide that remains associated with the secreted active enzyme with a broad alkaline pH optimum. This protein plays a major regulatory role in cholesterol homeostasis. PCSK9 binds to the epidermal growth factor-like repeat A (EGF-A) domain of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), inducing LDLR degradation. PCSK9 may also have a role in the differentiation of cortical neurons. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a rare form of autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia (HCHOLA3).

HarperCollins' New "No Advance" Imprint
HarperCollins Publishers is forming a new publishing group that will substitute profit-sharing with authors for cash advances and will try to eliminate the costly practice of allowing booksellers to return unsold copies.If extravagant advances are one of the problems with publishing, then why did Miller pay an unheard of $6.7 million advance for the rights to a Tuesdays With Morrie clone called The Last Lecture when he was heading Hyperion?
The new unit is HarperCollins's effort to address what its executives see as some of the more vexing issues of the book industry. "The idea is, 'Let's take all the things that we think are wrong with this business and try to change them,' " said Mr. Miller, 51.
But then again, what do CEOs really know anyway? As Mark Twain said, "An executive is a man who makes decisions and is sometimes right."

I'm supposed to be budgeting, but I couldn't resist when I saw this OPI nail polish. It's from the Muppets movie range, and is named Excuse Moi (for Miss Piggy, I presume). The polish is pink glitter, with some rainbow pieces as well. At £10.50, it was quite a lot to pay, but it was definitely worth it - I'm pretty sure it's my favourite polish ever.

Piccadilly Circus & Hyde Park Gate
My friend and I took a trip our local Nails Inc manicure bar this afternoon, as an end of Reading Week treat. She chose the purple-y Piccadilly Circus, while I went for the bright green Hyde Park Gate, which I'm really tempted to buy, especially as it's limited edition. I feel I should add that our matching Claddagh rings are not deliberate.

Autumn Leaves
Despite sending most of this gorgeous heatwave inside, at work, I've enjoyed the chance to wear some of my summer clothes again. I wasn't expecting this weather though, so they shoes that have been glued to my feet these past few days are these desert boots from New Look. They're perfect for keeping my feet cool but great for kicking through the already fallen leaves.

Westfield Stratford
I went to the new Westfield shopping mall in Stratford on Wednesday. It's absolutely huge, I feel like I didn't manage to see all of it. Quite a few of the shops weren't open yet, but all of the ones that were all really busy (apart from Topshop, which was dead).
At the Jamie's Italian for cocktails and dessert.
The Khiels store gave me some lovely samples, and the Zara and Topshop had some great pieces (several of which I bought). There are a lot of high street stores, even a Primark, but all of the shops are well designed, more modern, and look great.
I wore a Topshop jacket, Whistles trousers, Office ballet pumps and an H&M bag.
I'd definitely recommend a trip, but not until the hype has died down slightly - I was there at 7:30 on a Wednesday and it was heaving.
Has anyone been to Westfield? Are you planning on making a trip in the future?

Glitter shoes
Call it Dorothy Syndrome, but I love a good pair of glittery shoes. I was browsing in Zara with my friend and I couldn't not buy these shoes. They remind me of a pair of Manolo Blahniks I saw at his exhibition at Liberty. I don't when or where I'm going to wear them, but I'm very glad that I bought them.

What I Wore: In My Garden
Making the last of the summer weather in the spider-filled garden of my new house. I'm still not sure how I feel about my Carrie skirt with black tights, so this may be one of the last times I get to wear it until next year. I wore my Whistles Carrie skirt (whose hem is sadly fraying at an alarming rate), with a striped H&M t-shirt, Office shoes and Ray Ban sunglasses.

To cheer myself up last week, I bought the Chanel Peridot nail polish. It is definitely worth the hype that surrounds it, and it is definitely not sold out, as all the magazines are saying. In the bottle, it looks like it could be green, gold or deep blue (like the peridot stone itself). When applied, the polish changes colour as it catches the light - it can look emerald green, yellow gold, and even black in some lights.
Peridot is the first designer nail polish I have ever bought and I'm very glad I did, even with the £17.50 price tag.

What I Wore: Stripes
Couldn't decide whether or not I wanted to wear vertical or horizontal stripes, so I wore both, justified by this outfit Carrie Bradshaw wore in the final episode of Sex and the City. I got my skirt from ASOS about three months ago, and it's still available online. I wore it with a Zara top, Ray Ban sunglasses, Toms and H&M bag.

Just Kids
While I was on holidays in Switzerland, my friend lent me a copy of 'Just Kids' by Patti Smith. I was dubious, as I'm not the biggest fan of autobiographies. I absolutely loved it. Patti Smith's writing, particularly her attention to detail, whether it was what the colour of the hotel room walls were, or what she and Robert Mapplethorpe were wearing when they met Bob Dylan, was absolutely perfect.
I Googled her as soon as I got home too see some more photos of her (there are a few dotted sporadically around in the book).
All I want to do now is run away to New York with a beautiful boy and wear incredible jewellery with oversized shirts and tight jeans.

Well, Bosnia, my so-called second home, has always got my heart. Especially this place in the second largest city in the whole country.

Cricket fans face baton charge in GwaliorNovember 15th, 2007 - 10:56 pm ICT by admin
Gwalior, Nov 15 (ANI): Police resorted to baton charge on cricket fans here today following a row over entry into the Captain Roop Singh stadium where the fourth ODI between India and Pakistan is being played.
The spectators were complaining of not being allowed to enter inside the stadium in spite of having valid tickets.
" They (organisers) have been harassing us under the pretext of making security arrangements. It has been almost five hours since we have been standing in the queue, and have not even got a glimpse of the match. I doubt whether I will even get to see the match," said Mohit Saxena, a cricket fan.
Many were disappointed with the poor arrangements made by the organisers.
"Since nine in the morning, I have been standing in this queue. There is space for just 35, 000 people here and if they cannot even handle this - then it is a shame for sure," said Ahmed.
Ahead of the match, security arrangements were made for the smooth conduct of the match; however, problems occurred allegedly because of excessive sale of tickets. (ANI)

Review Jeopardy for Unit 2: Electron Configuration & Bonding
Lesson 9 of 9
Objective: SWBAT demonstrate proficiency and prepare for their end of unit assessment by working in teams to score points in a "Jeopardy" like setting.
Big Idea: Electron configurations help predict bond types; Bond types help predict chemical behavior of compounds.
Students will take an end of the unit assessment that covers several big ideas within Unit 2: Electron Configuration and Bonding. These big ideas are:
- Atoms behave in predictable ways based on their elemental identity.
- Element behavior is determined by electron configuration.
- Elements are arranged on the periodic table based on electron configuration.
- Elements with similar valence shell configuration behave similarly and are grouped together in families.
- Electrons of different elements can absorb and release specific amounts of energy resulting in unique electron emission spectra.
- Because different elements have unique and identifiable electron emission spectra, those spectra can be used for the identification of elements undergoing excitation and relaxation.
- All atoms want to reach a stable electron configuration, and can gain/lose electrons or share electrons to do so.
- Bonding is a way for atoms to gain/lose or share electrons.
- Neutral atoms become ions when they gain or lose electrons.
- The metallic/nonmetallic nature of elements can be used to predict tendencies to gain or lose electrons.
- Position on the periodic table can be used to determine how many electrons particular elements tend to gain or lose.
- Ionic compounds are made when electrons are transferred between a metal and a nonmetal, which creates ions.
- Ions of opposite charge are attracted to each other and form ionic bonded compounds with alternating charges held in arrangement by electrostatic force.
- Ionic compounds dissolve in water and will conduct electricity when such a solution is made.
- Covalent bonds are made when two nonmetals each need more electrons and share those electrons between each other.
- Covalent bonds are strong and the most prevalent bond found in biological systems.
- Lewis Dot Structures can help determine numbers of electrons shared between nonmetals in covalent bonding.
- Molecular Model building can help show the three-dimensional structure of molecules.
- Molecular structure helps to explain behavior of covalent compounds.
- Electrons pair-up for stability when bonding or when left unbonded.
- Electron pairs repel each other (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory), which helps to explain why molecules have the three-dimensional structure they do.
- Polarity occurs when one element in a bond has an appreciably higher electronegativity value than the other, and attracts more of the electron density to itself.
Understanding these big ideas directly addresses several Performance Expectations, including HS-PS1-1 and HS-PS1-2. They also prepare students for understanding how and why chemical reactions occur which is addressed in HS-PS1-7 and will be covered in the next unit. The review game format gets students involved in obtaining and communicating information, which engages them in SP8.

Rules of the Game
The "Jeopardy" game file is in the form of a PowerPoint slide presentation, but functions much like the actual game show display board. I use an LCD projector attached to my laptop to run the game, so that the game board is displayed for the entire class to see.
The presentation is set up with two slides that serve as category/point amount boards, just like the Jeopardy game show board. Clicking on the point amount will jump to that specific clue. Once the clue is revealed, pressing the arrow forward key on the keyboard will reveal the matching answer (which is in the form of a question). I already know what the correct answers are--the answers are included and should be revealed so that students have a chance to see them in print, especially for those who may have trouble hearing what the correct answer was or who can remember content better once they have seen it in text form (like I do). However, I only reveal the answer once either the correct answer has been given OR once both teams have had the opportunity to respond (and did not or answered incorrectly).
Unlike the game show, I only use 2 teams for simplicity's sake. I divide the room geographically in half (left side vs right side, front vs back, etc). It is nice to have the numbers of students even, but it is not necessary. I used to take time to move some students back and forth between teams until I felt that they were evenly matched, but I am always surprised by some students with previous lackluster performance who, for whatever reason, thrive in the Jeopardy scenario, so I have stopped trying to "balance" teams based on my prediction of student performance.
In order to prevent a few students from dominating the game (and monopolizing game play, leading to bored and eventually tuned out students who are no longer reaping the benefits a review game can provide), I have one student from each team go head-to-head for each turn. The two students stand. The team with the last correct answer has the privilege of choosing the category and point amount for the next clue. When the clue is revealed, I read it aloud. Once I have completed the reading, the two students representing their respective teams have a chance to raise their hands if they want to answer. I call on the student who has his/her hand in the air first. If that student is correct, then that team gets that clue's points added to their scoreboard. Incorrect answers cause that clue's point value to be deducted, passing costs and earns no points. If the first answer is incorrect, the opposing student (not the entire team) has the chance to answer. Again, incorrect answers deduct points, correct answers win points, and passing costs and earns nothing.
I do not spend a lot of time explaining the rules--certainly not nearly as in depth as I have explained here. I have found that students get the hang of game play quickly once we get started and they can see one head-to-head match-up from start to finish. I used to explain in detail, but found that explaining more did not lead to greater understanding from students about the gameplay anyway.
Game Play
I use this Powerpoint, Unit 2 REVIEW Jeopardy Game, projected on the screen from my laptop.
Game play continues as students from opposing teams take turns going head to head. I use a dry erase marker on two smaller whiteboards to record points (+400, -1000, etc.), using a separate board for each team. At the end of round 1, I quickly add and report the total scores. At the end of round 2, I also add up and report the total scores.
Teams then choose 3 students on their team to represent them in the final round. As a whole, each team decides how much to wager from their total point score. Each team turns in their wager to me on a scrap piece of paper. Then, the team representatives are given one dry erase board and marker (one for each team) and sent to work collaboratively on a final answer in a corner of the room. The final "answer" is revealed and students work as I hum the Jeopardy theme music. (Usually, the rest of the class joins in on the humming.)
Here is a quick walk-through of the Powerpoint file and game play.

After the reveal of the final "question," and a winning team is determined, I award the winning team members with gold star stickers. It is something relatively trivial, the non-winning team members do not get terribly upset about not winning, but it is still something fun and tangible.

Julia Roberts Now in Talks to Play Mean Queen in Brothers Grimm: Snow White
Roberts is finally engaging on Tarsem Singh's upcoming 3-D film The Brothers Grimm: Snow White.
We just peered into the mirror on the wall and saw ... nothing. But we hear from insiders familiar with the situation that Julia Roberts is finally engaging on Tarsem Singh's upcoming 3-D movie The Brothers Grimm: Snow White. With the film set up at Relativity Media, director Singh (The Cell, The Fall) has long wanted Roberts to play the Evil Queen ("Yes, the Queen! She's wicked! She's bad! She's mighty mean!"), and now her reps have finally begun negotiations in earnest.
Universal Pictures, meanwhile, is steaming ahead with its own rival project, Snow White and the Hunstman (to be directed by another commercial shooter, Rupert Sanders), negotiating with Kristen Stewart (to play Snow White), Charlize Theron (to play that film's Evil Queen), and Viggo Mortensen (the Huntsman). Mortensen's talks have been ongoing for weeks now — but we're told that a deal is imminent.

LINDEN — Linden author Maria Gabryszewska will be appearing at the Linden Library on Tuesday, Sept. 27, at 6:30 p.m. She will speak about her book "Life Lessons: A Young Lady's Guide to Manners According to Mom and Dad," a tongue in cheek memoir of the factoids of life that should be remembered and passed down from generation to generation. This book shows glimpses into the mindset of a pair of proud Polish lower middle class immigrants whose dreams for their children are only exceeded by ones they undertake for themselves.

Is your computer safe for grandchildren?
It seems like such an innocent request: Can I use your computer? But before you let your grandchild log-on, you need to think about a few safety precautions -- for their protection and yours.
There are significant risks in letting a child use your computer unsupervised, especially if it's connected to the Internet. The social nature of the web means that strangers can contact them via
e-mail, instant message, or chat room and ask for sensitive personal information or arrange an in-person meeting.
More likely, a child can come across inappropriate web content or inadvertently download viruses. There are steps you can take, however, to make sure surfing or playing on a computer is a safe, pleasurable and educational experience.
Precaution #1: Create A Guest User Account
This is for your protection. You'll want to password-protect your log-in, so inquisitive users can't access personal data stored in financial software, bank or brokerage accounts, legal documents
or e-mail accounts. It's simple to create a guest account on a Windows PC from the Control Panel: Select 'User Accounts' and create a separate user account for young guests.
Designate the account 'Limited' to restrict your grandchild's ability to install new applications or download software that may contain malicious code.
Note: The first time you open the browser in the guest account, it will prompt you to import your user settings into the new browser. Choose 'No' to make sure the guest's browser will not autofill account information or passwords you'd rather keep private.
Precaution #2: Online Or Off?
A quick way to remove much of the risk from your computer is to simply disconnect it from the internet and use it as a gaming station. You'll need to invest in age-appropriate CD-ROM games; check out Children's Software from www.amazon.com or titles reviewed by Children's Software Review. If your grandchild is an infrequent visitor, this may be the easiest and most cost-effective way to go.
Precaution #3: Check With Their Parents
Before you invest in protective monitoring software, check with your son or daughter-in-law and find out what steps they've taken to secure their home computers. Your grandchild may already be
familiar with a certain set of tools, such as a child-friendly browser or filtering program, and it would be easiest to reproduce that setup on your machine.
Make sure to find out what the ground rules are at home: If instant messaging is allowed, find out how far parents want their kids going into social spaces like MySpace or chat rooms, and how long they're allowed to spend on the computer per day. Your kids have likely thought out what works best for their kids and would not be happy to learn that Grandma is more lax. Get the 411, and then set ground rules that support what's allowed at home.
Precaution #4: Have A Conversation
Talk to your grandchildren about what they like to do online, and make sure they understand that personal information should not be given out, even if they're asked directly by someone they 'know'
through the web. Hackers can monitor discussions in social spaces and can also sniff e-mails and web forums. Sophisticated scams can even involve soliciting phone calls or other fishing techniques.
Let your grandchild know that your computer and data are valuable to you and that you expect them to safeguard them carefully. Also, they should understand that they are not allowed to disclose any information to anyone unless they first ask your permission, even if it's just their e-mail address to sign up for a newsletter or register at a new web site.
Precaution #5: Install Protective Software
Your son or daughter may have a good suggestion for the software setup that works and that their child is accustomed to. If they have good advice, follow it. If not, it's fairly simple to find
information online about popular parental monitoring and filtering software. A few choices are CyberSitter, NetPurity, ContentWatch, and ChildSafe.
You can find additional resources online for monitoring software and child safety browsers. As a basic protective measure, any computer that's connected to the Internet should also have anti-spyware, anti-virus, and a security firewall installed and up-to-date.
Precaution #6: Surfing Guides
Where do you grandkids like to go online? You can broaden their horizons by directing them to child-safe search engines such as Yahoo!Kids or Ask Jeeves. You can also download a child browser such as Bumpercar for the Mac or KidSplorer for a PC, which automatically limits their access to approved web sites. You can guide them manually as well, visiting sites that offer family-friendly games and educational resources. Try PBS Kids, FactMonster, and the American Library Association's list of Great Web Sites for Kids.
Precaution #7: Stick Around
The best way to safeguard your grandchildren is to be a presence while they are online. Check in with them regularly to see where they've gone, and be within voice distance so you can hear any questions they might ask you. The key is to be readily available, in case they hit a snag but don't want to interrupt their online activities just to check something with you that, most likely, is okay. Stay close and, whenever possible, stay involved.

The Sun and the Moon are currently in the Sign of the Twins, Gemini. Cogito Ergo Sum translates: "I think, therefore I am", which was coined by the French philosopher Renee Descartes. Gemini, being an Air Sign, is a Creative Thinker or Genius. The New Moon is a great time to continue the journey toward the within. Our thoughts may turn inward, only to move outward, as we will want to communicate with others. A lot of Gemini types appear to have their head in the clouds…up to where they belong. However, it is important for Gemini to allow their feelings to be experienced in the heart, rather than the head. The heart hath its reason, which reason knows nothing of ~Blaise Pascal. Mercury, the Winged Messenger, ruler of Gemini is busy playing mind games with our sense of security in the Sign Taurus (Money, Possessions, Security, ). Think about what true security means. We may traverse down memory lane and want to complete any unfinished business both personal and professional.
Venus (Love, Harmony, Attraction) Here the head and the heart can meet upon a common ground which enables us to secure our own personal comfort zone. A perfect time to get out and watch the Solar Eclipse which will occur when both the Sun and Moon are conjunct. This gives us an opportunity to look within and ask ourselves if we are eclipsing another's personal light by overshadowing them with our own projections. The house that the Sun is eclipsed can reveal what areas in our lives need attention at this time.
Gemini is the social butterfly that loves to flutter around and experience all of the variety of flowers in bloom. Sometimes the Social Gemini Moon can attract gossip and create needless misunderstandings. Make an effort to communicate effectively and to listen to others. Remember the children's game Whispering Down The Lane? You whisper something into one person's ear that is passed on to the next person and by the time it reaches the end of the line it has become totally out of context. Be mindful before speaking. In other words, put your mouth in gear before you speak (unless there is room in it for your foot).
Media has become overloaded and our minds downloaded with alot of negativity being reported in the news. There is just too much information at our disposal. We are being left to our own devices and experiencing the world through cyberspace. This is a great time to turn off the TV/Cell Phone/Computer and tune in to the transmission of the planet and all our relations on an organic level. We are the center of our universe. Everything we think and do has an impact upon ourselves and our immediate surroundings. If we are restless and require distraction, then perhaps we could learn to mediatate while practising deep breathing. Gemini is associated with the lungs and nervous system. Think of ways to create Positive Action, then breathe life into it. Yes, the universe exists with both positive and negative energy. We need to bring any opposing forces together through integration.
A world in black and white, hath no colour. The Light Spectrum refuses no colour. How would we know day without night? Get outside and bear witness to the beauty that nature paints for us in every moment. As Albert Einstein said: Imagination is far greater than knowledge. Dare to be different. When you change your perception, you transform your world. Remember to respect that other people's Way may differ from your own. Same planet, different worlds.
There are many myths about Mercury/Hermes, the Ancient Messenger God, who was also known as the Patron of both Merchants and Thieves, as well as surfers and skateboarders in modern time.. Thoughts and ideas can travel fast like quicksilver in the archetype of the Gemini Genius. I suggest reading about his myth, and also the story of his counterparts; the Egyptian Thoth and Norse Loki. This is the New Moon to begin a journal. Many people use journals for calendars, appointments and goals…rather than self-reflection and expression. Forget the attitude and think gratitude. Start focusing on the wins, rather than the losses in your life. Whatever you do, try to do it with an open mind and most importantly with an open heart.

Of course, the most important sources of information for CANopen are the specification documents of CiA. However, specifications are often very dry and are not always easy to understand. This is true of the CANopen specifications as well. Helpful supplements to these specifications include several books that shed light on the CANopen field and its relation to practical applications.
You will also find fundamental knowledge on the CANopen standard and network structure at the Vector website. Benefit from Vector's CANopen expertise in the form of technical articles, product videos, presentations and application notes: CANopen know-how.
Efficient training program E-Learning modules
In the framework of its E-Learning modules, Vector is addressing everyone who wishes to get a clear idea of how a CAN communication system works. Currently, three E-Learning modules are available for free use online. These modules are optimal as preparation for classic Vector classroom courses, including "Introduction to CAN".
Teaching fundamental knowledge from theory to practice - the CANopen Seminar
The most effective way to learn the fundamentals is to participate in a CANopen training course. In this context, basic concepts are presented so that they are comprehensible to everyone. Furthermore, the trainer is there to answer individual questions. Vector offers training events on the topic of CANopen, and we would be glad to conduct them at your business site too.
Do you have a number of developers on your team who would benefit from further training in the CANopen field? Would you prefer a more intensive introduction to the material while discussing your own system requirements? Our experienced trainers would be glad to come to your business site and conduct training tailored to your special requirements.

My Year of Hurricanes
Going back to work after losing everything.
This article is part of an ongoing series by Blake Bailey, a New Orleans resident who lost everything in Hurricane Katrina. Click here to read more of his dispatches.
Last week my wife and I rode out Hurricane Katrina at a friend's house in Oxford, Miss., watching the Weather Channel and checking online until we were pretty sure our home in New Orleans—where we'd lived all of two months—was a total loss. Then it was back to work.
At such times, I find work is the only anodyne. On the morning of 9/11, for example, we watched TV long enough to see the south tower fall and maybe 15 replays of the plane hitting it. Then I went upstairs and worked until dinner, writing almost five finished pages—twice my usual output. While I was working, I felt fine; afterward, though, I checked e-mail and learned that Nostradamus had predicted 9/11 ("Two brothers torn apart by Chaos ... ") and that World War III was imminent.
In Oxford, I began multitasking as soon as I saw, online, the placid Atlantis that used to be my neighborhood. While our baby daughter rolled around the carpet with a dachshund named Bud, I called Travelocity to cancel a Labor Day flight from New Orleans to Cleveland; then, while Travelocity kept me on hold, I used my cell phone to call our insurance company in New Orleans. It was odd to hear the pleasant recorded message asking whether I wanted to report a claim.
"Yes, I do," I said. "Our house is really, really flooded—that is, I think it's flooded—certainly looks that way—and we don't have flood insurance per se. I'm pretty sure we're covered for wind-damage, though I don't have the papers right in front of me." (This was true: My insurance policy and all other vital documents were left behind.) "Anyway my name is—"
Then the Travelocity person came back on the other line and I told my insurance company (its voice mail rather) that I'd call back. Travelocity informed me that Continental Airlines had yet to cancel my flight; since it was a nonrefundable ticket I'd either have to reschedule or accept a penalty worth almost the entire price of the ticket. I remonstrated: The flight left in four days, I pointed out, from New Orleans; in all likelihood swamp boats would be trolling the tarmacs. Travelocity advised me to take it up with the airline. I hung up—bitterly—and called my insurance company, whereupon I was told that the voice-mail box was now full.
The next day I went to a nice coffee shop on the Oxford town square and tried to get some work done on my book, a biography of John Cheever. I was editing (labeling, pruning, cutting, and pasting) the bits I'd transcribed from Cheever's 1956 journal. I noted, as always, the incongruity between Cheever's outer and inner lives: He'd just finished The Wapshot Chronicle, sold a story to the movies, and was about to take his family to Italy for a year. Meanwhile, he was miserable as ever—alcoholic, lonely, furtively bisexual. Now and then I'd look up from my laptop and stare out at the sun-dappled square; unlike Cheever in 1956, I mused, my own life (outer) had gone absolutely to shit. Yet—at that moment anyway—I didn't feel half-bad.
In the midst of this reverie I saw a familiar face: a former student of mine named Della, whom I knew from my previous life in New Orleans as a bachelor eighth-grade English teacher. Della had evacuated with her mother, a proudly bohemian woman who'd supported herself as a freelance set-designer for local movie productions. In the past couple of years the Industry had come to New Orleans in a big way, and Della's mother had prospered modestly. She'd just finished a 10-year renovation on her funky home in Mid City, near Bayou St. John.
"So much for that," she said tipsily. "I guess I can always go back to bartending, though I imagine things will be pretty medieval in New Orleans. Come see me sometime and I'll give you a cup of mead."
We talked about the looting, which had seemed rather larky and sensible at the outset—groceries, diapers, that sort of thing—but had turned ugly amid a dawning sense of futility. The gun department at a Wal-Mart supercenter had been ransacked. Gangs of armed thugs were roaming the city, taking potshots at helicopters. We imagined a sort of Escape From New York scenario whereby President Bush (if he ever got around to visiting) crash-landed somewhere in the Ninth Ward. Given that most American militia were deployed elsewhere in the world, they'd have to send in Snake Plissken to retrieve the nuclear codes.
Even though it was boiling hot, I decided to walk back from the square—about two miles. For the past few days I'd done little more than sit in a car, watch TV, and drink bourbon. I could use the exercise. At about the halfway point I passed a historical marker directing me to Faulkner's grave some 20 paces to the east. I walked over, my book bag chafing against my sweat-soaked back. "I believe that man will not merely endure," I said, in a folksy Southern drawl; "he will prevail." I'd memorized that part of the writer's Nobel speech for an oral presentation in college. As far as I was concerned, it was the weakest thing he ever wrote (with the arguable exception of Fable).
The next day it was time to move on. Our friends in Oxford were wonderful folks, but they hadn't counted on lodging, indefinitely, a homeless family. ("Are you doing any good?" my host would ask, with a kind of irritable solicitude, while I hogged his computer for hours at a time.) The six-hour drive to Fayetteville, Ark.—where my father-in-law lives—was a nightmare. Gas had jumped to three bucks a gallon, and I pictured the dregs of our bank account leaking away while the tank filled. Then the car's AC cut out as we drove west into the sun: The baby screamed; the dog sighed; I got dizzy and sick and gave up the wheel to my wife.
On arrival I went right to bed, but not to sleep: Rather I lay there wondering whether we'd have health insurance now that my wife's internship was in limbo, and what would become of our house, our mortgage, and were we eligible for FEMA assistance, and was our poor old cat still fighting for life in the bathroom (and what must she think of us?) ... on and on, my teeth chattering. There would be a lot of work to do in the morning.

Primary Ethics is the approved provider of Special Education in Ethics (SEE) in NSW public primary schools. Our curriculum is based on a community of inquiry learning model supported by teacher led questioning. The curriculum contains 79 topics with over 250 lessons – our volunteer teachers use detailed lesson materials for every lesson.
Primary Ethics' lesson materials are aligned to the following general capabilities in the Australian curriculum and the NSW syllabus:
- Ethical understanding
- Critical and creative thinking
- Personal and social capability
If you would like to have ethics classes in your school please contact us to register your interest.
Our School Teacher's Guide to Ethics Classes is a useful reference for school teachers and principals.
Sharing information with your school community
The Department of Education Implementation Procedures instructs principals to make general information on all SRE and SEE options available to all parents and carers at key times such as upon enrolment and when a new program begins:
Information for parents/caregivers(extract)
- Where an approved provider of special education in ethics advises the school that it is able to offer classes in that school during the time set aside for special religious education, the principal is to inform the school community on enrolment as well as via the school website and school newsletter.
- Where special education in ethics is being introduced to a school community or to a new class for the first time, parents/caregivers of students who are not attending special religious education classes are to be provided with a letter.
- Parents/caregivers are advised how special education in ethics classes are organised, including details of the approved provider that will be providing special education in ethics for particular classes or year groups.
- Parents/caregivers are advised of any changed organisation, the availability of any new special education in ethics classes, and the options for special religious education classes.
- This information is to be provided to parents/caregivers through enrolment information, the school website and the school newsletter.
Info for Parents flyers for orientation and for school office

About ethics classes
Ethics Classes are discussion based and for this reason it is essential that classes are set up so that students can see and hear each other – a circular seating arrangement is preferred.
The classes work best when there are at least 8 students and no more than 22 students – this is to ensure effective discussion takes place. Delivery is designed to include students from the same educational stage – our curriculum is stage based (Early Stage 1 – Stage 3). It is not possible to have ethics classes that span different stages.
Our training
Our volunteer ethics teachers undertake both online and face to face training covering:
- Child protection awareness
- Primary Ethics policies and requirements
- NSW Department of Education policies and requirements
- Overview of the philosophical framework for the curriculum
- Understanding the community of inquiry approach to learning and the role of the teacher as facilitator
- Use of the lesson materials
- Facilitation skills, including , procedural questioning, neutral responses, managing dominant and timid group members, non-verbal communication, managing small groups and running activities
- Behaviour management strategies and practice
Our training also ensures that our volunteer teachers understand the importance of minimising disruption in your classroom spaces and ensuring students are focused and ready to continue learning in class after ethics.

Today, Tuesday 9/8, Caitlin Doolin of the Baltimore City Department of Transportation is opening up the discussion of the city's role in the partnership between drivers and bicyclists.
From the Car to the Bike: Infrastructure, Policy and Red Tape
Livable streets that prioritize walking, biking and transit are proven to improve quality of life, improve economic value of neighborhoods, address equity issues and improve health and safety of our cities. It can seem like while the rest of the world is taking off with protected bike lanes and premium transit investments, Baltimore is struggling to catch up, but the reality is this paradigm shift from the car is difficult everywhere. Believe it or not it was even difficult in Copenhagen 40 years ago! Come learn and engage in a discussion about how infrastructure, policy and politics are shaping how our urban streets serve bicyclists.

[Michael Giovanni Rivera, aka GIO, is a strength and conditioning coach based out of Los Angeles, CA, owner of GIOTRAINING and contributor to the HUMANFITPROJECT network. With a robust list of celebrity clientele including models, Playmates, personalities, and professional athletes, GIO gives us a firsthand look at the training of a Major League Baseball player.]
In order to prepare Justin Sellers of the Los Angeles Dodgers for spring training and the upcoming 2014 MLB season, I based his strength and conditioning program off a periodization cycle. The first cycle was implemented to increase strength and power. As time progressed and we got closer to spring training, we transitioned his program to more sports-specific things such as short bursts of explosiveness, footwork, and hand-eye coordination—all while maintaining his strength and power gains from the previous months of training.
Training an athlete like Sellers becomes very complex and requires proper program design. And due to the fact he's working multiple areas simultaneously, it's important to keep him injury-free and recovering strong, all while pushing him in the gym and keeping him on top of his nutrition.
In this video, I chose four baseball-specific exercises that I did with Justin in his training program in order to prepare him for spring training and the 2014 MLB season. Each exercise has a specific purpose and works all the major areas needed.
SEE THE EXERCISES, DESCRIPTIONS, and PHOTOS>>>
Exercise 1: Sandbag Push Press
The sandbag push press is a full-body compound movement with a functional twist to it, because it involves the use of a sandbag, which is more unstable than a traditional barbell or dumbbell. The major areas worked are the legs, core, shoulders, and grip. It is an explosive movement, as well, because of the fast speed used on the ascending portion of the movement. Balance, coordination, and the grip are involved because of the unstable use of the sand shifting as the movement is being done.
How to
Grasp sandbag up to shoulder height just as you would a barbell. Keep palms up. Proceed to squat position, keeping feet shoulder-width apart. As you squat, make sure you keep all the weight on your heels and they remain flat during the entire movement. Squat to 90 degrees, keeping the sandbag as stable as possible in a slow and controlled movement. Proceed up in an explosive fashion or as quickly as you can. Press sandbag up above your head with your full body and shoulders as you are proceeding up from the squat. Try using a lighter sandbag (perhaps 30 pounds) to get used to the movement. Then move up on weight when you progress or feel comfortable with it. Try it in sets of 4-5 with a rep range of 12-15.
Exercise 2: Agility Ladder Lateral Movement with Burpee Ball Toss
The agility ladder lateral movement with burpee ball toss is a complex exercise that involves the full body. It's a sport-specific and functional movement that works on lateral agility, footwork, explosiveness, hand-eye coordination, balance, stability, and all major muscles in the body.
How to
This exercise will require a partner to toss the ball. Start at the end of the ladder. Proceed through the ladder laterally in an in-and-out motion, moving as quickly as you can. When you get to the end of the ladder, proceed into a burpee movement: quickly get down into pushup position, do one pushup, pop up, and expect a ball to be tossed to you. Catch it in your glove hand, just as you would in baseball, toss the ball back to your partner, and proceed back through the ladder laterally again. Try this 3 times through without stopping. When you feel comfortable, increase it to 5—or even 10.
Exercise 3: Battle Rope Alternating to Simultaneously
The battle rope exercise is an extremely explosive movement that is a full-body movement. While most think it's an upper-body movement, it actually involves more of your legs and core. This exercise involves muscular endurance and total-body explosiveness. Of course, the move does still work your upper body, core, and grip strength, as well.
How to
Grasp the rope, keeping feet shoulder-width apart. Now move the ropes up and down in an alternating fashion for 20 seconds as explosively and fast as you can. Then proceed to move the rope simultaneously for 10 seconds without stopping. Create waves with the rope, keep it smooth, and make sure you involve your legs and core to activate the full-body movement. Keep the grip tight, as well. Try doing this for 30 seconds, with 1 minute's rest, or mix it into a circuit. If you want to test your muscular endurance, do it for 1 minute with 30 seconds' rest.
Exercise 4: Low Pulley Cable Twist
The low pulley cable twist is a sport-specific movement that mimics your swing in baseball. The reason we do this is to add resistance to the movement to increase strength, power, and explosiveness in the swing. It is a full-body movement, as well, involving the back, shoulders, arms, grip, core, and legs.
How to
Adjust pulley to desired height, where your swing is most likely to start. Grasp the cable, stand in the same stance as you would to swing a bat. Proceed to swing the cable as fast as you can. Control the cable and proceed slowly on the negative portion of the movement. Try doing 3 sets of 10 reps, then progress and increase to 4 sets of 15 reps. If you feel comfortable, try doing it the opposite way you swing.

H&A Events: Paul Catherall and Gail Brodholt exhibition
Potterton Books celebrates the works of the two printmakers in a new exhibition
Potterton Books celebrates the works of the two printmakers in a new exhibition
Do you normally associate London commuting with grey clouds, grey faces and rain?
Pop into Potterton Book's new exhibition in Chelsea and you might find you have to think again. The exhibition of work by printmakers Paul Catherall and Gail Brodholt, which starts on Wednesday, presents the capital in very different light.
Their striking city prints are already on their way to being iconic: Paul Catherall's looming interpretation of the Tate Modern has graced Transport for London posters and you may well recognise his Oxo Tower print (left).
Gail Brodholt also takes her inspiration from the Big Smoke, producing vibrant prints of the daily commute on the underground.
The exhibition runs from 9th-30th October.

Alfonso Cuarón (Children of Men and Y Tu Mamá También) presents a breathtaking experience that embraces pressurized style over weightless substance. George Clooney's trademark blitheness is more suited to a heist flick called Ocean's Apollo Thirteen. Sandra Bullock is required to shoulder the bulk of the acting, and she proves up for the mission.
See our full review:
Director Alfonso Cuarón handles mankind's precarious place in the universe with taut aplomb, but Gravity gravitates closer to a heady amusement park ride than the oeuvre of Kubrick and Tarkovsky. »

As part of its preseason training program this summer, AS Monaco will participate in the second edition of the Copa EuroAmericana.
In addition to AS Monaco, prestigious South American and European clubs, such as Altlético Madrid and Fiorentina, will also take part in this international competition held in eight cities from Latin America and North America, in an innovative format
AS Monaco will become the first Ligue 1 club to tour in South America, thus enhancing its global strategy. The competition will start in Colombia, the country of its global stars Falcao and James Rodriguez, and then progress to the United States.
The "Rouge et Blanc" will face two Colombian clubs: Atlético Junior in Barranquilla on July the 20th, and Atlético Nacional in Miami on July the 23rd.
"It is a pleasure and an interesting challenge for our team to compete with leading international clubs. This tournament fully fits our ambition to be a global player and attract fans from around the world," said Vadim Vasilyev, the vice-president of AS Monaco.
In addition to Colombia and the United States, Brasil, Mexico, Canada, Chile and Peru will host a match.

Hi, I'm Sue Goodhart. I'm a true believer in loving where you live, which is why I've called the Washington, DC area home for the past 35 years. To me, real estate isn't just about liking your house, but about finding a home and community that you're truly passionate about, and a neighborhood and culture you're immersed in. That's how I feel about our great area and why I've loved selling Alexandria real estate here for over 20 years.
I love helping others enjoy this area just as much as I do.
I've been in the real estate industry for 25 years, but my professional experience extends far beyond that. I earned my master's in City Planning from Harvard University and a Bachelor of Arts from Dickinson College, which both served me well during my 14 years working as a small business owner in Old Town. With those years of hard work and experience under my belt, I made the switch to real estate in 1992 and became a licensed agent in DC, Virginia, and Maryland.
I'm a strong believer in giving back to the community that has supported my family for so many years, so I'm active in several local charities.
I serve as President of the Board of Directors of St. Coletta's of Greater Washington, as a member of the Advisory Council for The Fund For Alexandria's Child, and as a member of the Symphony Orchestra League of Alexandria. I currently serve as chair of The Campagna Center's Development Committee, on its Board of Directors, and as one of its "Supporting Friends." I am also the current President of the Seminary Ridge Civic Association.
In 2008, my husband Marty and I were named the Small Business Philanthropists of the Year by the Alexandria Volunteer Bureau. In 2016, I was honored to receive the "Golden Halo Award" from the Junior Friends of the Campagna Center. This year, my daughter and business partner, Allison, and I were honored by the Alexandria Senior Services Association with a "Generation to Generation" award.
I've been Alexandria City's Top Producing agent since 2003. In 2006, the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors honored me with a membership in the Top Twenty Residential Sales Agents' Club, where I was recognized for my achievement in sales volume and number of houses sold. I've also achieved lifetime status as Top Producer with Northern Virginia Board of Realtors. Our team, The Goodhart Group, was also recognized nationally by the Wall Street Journal as a top team in the United States, as well as locally by both the Washingtonian and Northern Virginia magazines. I am frequently quoted in both national and local media, such as the Washington Post and Chicago Tribune.
When I'm not working or volunteering, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Marty, and my daughters, Allison and Amanda. I make the most of Washington's vibrant community by proudly cheering on local teams at games, checking out the latest restaurants and shops with friends, and traveling.
Want to work with me? Let's get together and chat about your needs.

Senate leaders have been trying to get a deal on Senate Bill 22, the school finance bill that lays out how the state would divide billions less to school districts than they would get under current law.
"We're working on it, but if we had a deal, we would have passed it, so we don't have a deal yet," Senate Finance Chairman Steve Ogden, R-Bryan, said.
Asked if he expected it to come up in the Senate Wednesday, he said, "We're going to try to push. It's essential that we pass some type of school finance reform in order to successfully end this session, so it's the number one priority right now."
Senate Education Chair Florence Shapiro, R-Plano, had said earlier that the problem getting the school finance bill passed was the same problem with the overall budget (before Republicans passed it without any Democratic support by sidestepping the two-thirds rule): lack of fundin.
Asked what he could offer those who are concerned, Ogden first said, "There's no limit to my imagination."
Then added, "I think the discussion is centering around this issue: We recognize that in this budget climate we're going to have to reduce spending, but when things improve, we promise to restore the reductions. So that's what we're working on. Basically when the economy improves, we restore the quote reductions that we know you have to do now. That's where the discussion is."
Asked if that would essentially be return to current law, Ogden said, "Possibly."
He wouldn't give details. To win over any Democrats, you'd have to think it would be more definite than the sun-will-come-out-tomorrow contingency that didn't appeal to Democrats in the overall budget. That contingency makes extra spending contingent on the economy improving.
On the budget overall, Ogden said, "If you really sit down and look at those side by sides, the Senate and the House are not that far apart except in public education."
He said budget negotiators are trying to resolve the things they can agree on while they keep looking for a public education funding solution.
The House passed a $164.5 billion, two-year budget that would cut $23 billion from current spending levels. The Senate version is $172.8 billion.
House Appropriations Chairman Jim Pitts, R-Waxahachie, has said he thinks the House would go along with adding several billion more dollars in key areas to its bare-bones plan through so-called non-tax revenue.
His non-tax revenue legislation keeps getting delayed in the House.
In another key area, Medicaid funding, the Senate measure as amended would fall as much as $4 billion in state general revenue funding of paying for caseloads and associated costs, he said. Because Medicaid is an entitlement program, those costs still would have to be paid, it would just occur in the next fiscal period.
But he added that things could change to whittle that estimate: "Federal law could change. The econmy could improve. One of the things that (HHSC Commissioner) Tom Suehs has just reported to us is that the growth in Medicaid is not as rapid as he had predicted just six months ago. As the ecomy changes, those numbers will change."

From Indianapolis, Indiana, USA:
How can I enlist in the US military, despite my type 1 diabetes? I know that this disqualifies me, but I believe I am physically capable of being in our armed services. I also do not believe I should be discriminated because of my physical condition. I am a 22 year old honors college student who is independent, athletic, and self-motivated. I simply want the same opportunity as every one else has to serve my country.
I have received the same response from several recruiters, but I don't want to know why I can't anymore, I want to know how I can. There are officer training programs that I am more than qualified for, and I know I can meet the physical training test standards. Through waivers, extra work, new medicines, whatever it takes, I want to try. Please help, and if you cannot please send this message to someone who can.
As of October 2002, people with type 1 diabetes are not accepted into the US military. I suggest that you write to your Congressional Representatives and ask them to introduce legislation that would lift this ban. I personally agree with you that people with type 1 diabetes can and should be permitted to contribute to our nation's defense.

The Los Angeles Times on Sunday is releasing a major update to its elementary school teacher ratings, underscoring the large disparities throughout the nation's second-largest school district in instructors' abilities to raise student test scores.
The posting — the only publication of such teacher performance data in the nation — contains value-added ratings for about 11,500 third- through fifth-grade teachers, nearly double the number released last August. It also reflects changes in the way the scores were calculated and displayed.
Overall ratings for about 470 schools also are included in the release, which is based on student standardized test scores from the academic years 2003-04 through 2009-10. To obtain the rating of a teacher or school, go to latimes.com/valueadded and enter the teacher's or the school's name.
The initial release of teacher ratings last summer generated intense controversy — and some praise — across the country, and this round has already met with some opposition.
