The Northmenas Fury tells the Viking story, from the first pinprick raids of the eighth century to the great armies that left their Scandinavian homelands to conquer larger parts of France, Britain and Ireland. It recounts the epic voyages that took them across the Atlantic to the icy fjords of Greenland and to North America over four centuries before Columbus and east to the great rivers of Russia and the riches of the Byzantine empire. One summeras day in 793, death arrived from the sea. The raiders who sacked the island monastery of Lindisfarne were the first Vikings, sea-borne attackers who brought two centuries of terror to northern Europe. Before long the sight of their dragon-prowed longships and the very name of Viking gave rise to fear and dread, so much so that monks were reputed to pray each night for delivery from athe Northmenas Furya. Yet for all their reputation as bloodthirsty warriors, the Vikings possessed a sophisticated culture that produced art of great beauty, literature of abiding power and kingdoms of surprising endurance. The Northmenas Fury describes how and why a region at the edge of Europe came to dominate and to terrorise much of the rest of the continent for nearly three centuries and how, in the end, the coming of Christianity and the growing power of kings tempered the Viking ferocity and stemmed the tide of raids. It relates the astonishing achievement of the Vikings in forging far-flung empires whose sinews were the sea and whose arteries were not roads but maritime trading routes. The blood of the Vikings runs in millions of veins in Europe and the Americas and the tale of their conquests, explorations and achievements continues to inspire people around the world.A History of the Viking World Philip Parker ... the monastery of Lindisfarne in 793, used their mastery of the sea to dominate large parts of Europe and to colonise lands beyond it. These Vikings were no mere monochrome warriors, intent solely on bloodthirsty rampage. ... The geographical range of their raids is astonishing.

As many as love the Lord,
When shadows shall flee, and clouds pass away,
And weeping no more be heard.
O wonderful day, that soon may be here!
O beautiful hope, the pilgrim to cheer!
Thy coming we hail in tuneful accord,
Thou glorious day of Christ, our Lord.
2. In glory and pow'r our King shall appear,
And call to Himself His own;
No distance, nor death shall part them as here,
Nor sin, with its pains, be known. [Refrain]

For tempests, eternal calm;
For pathway of thorns, rich mansions in Heav'n,
For warfare, the victor's palm. [Refrain]

When sounds the last trump so clear;
But loud rings a cry from truth's lofty tower,
The day of the Lord is near. [Refrain]

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Across two different days, Tiger Woods had no shortage of opportunities to score during his third round. Despite managing only two total birdies during his round of 1-under 71, he shares the 54-hole lead with Sergio Garcia and David Lingmerth heading into Sunday's final round.
"I hit a lot of good putts that were around the edge," Woods explained after completing his final four holes Sunday morning. "I'm just going to continue to do what I'm doing. I'm playing well."
The Players: Articles, videos, photos | GC coverage | Social Lounge
Woods certainly appears in control of his game Tee to Green, but the putts simply failed to drop late Saturday and into Sunday morning. He afforded himself eight different birdie putts of 20 feet or shorter across the final 11 holes of his third round, but holed only one, getting up and down from just off the green at the par-5 16th hole. As a result he finds himself in the second-to-last group Sunday afternoon, alongside Casey Wittenberg while Garcia and Lingmerth are the final pairing of the day.
"It really doesn't, no," he explained when asked if playing in the final pairing mattered. "I'm tied for the lead, so I'm right there."
As for the unheralded Swede joining him atop the leaderboard through 54 holes, Woods admitted to not having much knowledge of Lingmerth – other than his position at 11 under. He added, though, that it's not surprising to see an unfamiliar face succeeding on the Stadium Course.
"Anything can happen here," he noted, citing as an example Craig Perks' unlikely triumph in 2002. "Obviously, he's playing well."

It's a brilliantly simple idea for a video: a camera continuously travelling through rooms while those rooms are getting smaller and smaller.
Artistically, the metaphor is a powerful one, there's no doubt about it.
Technically, it caught my attention by how seamlessly the transition between the rooms is done.
This is how I think it was made.

For example, Walmart's coupon policy states that it accepts valid printable coupons in both color and black-and-white print, and Walmart also accepts "buy one, get one free" coupons with a specified price, as of 2015. Target's coupon policy says that the store gladly accepts valid Internet coupons but does not take printable coupons for free items.
To accept printed coupons, most stores require that the coupons customers present have the words "manufacturer's coupon" printed on them and bear valid manufacturers' addresses for remittance.

|Budget Statement and its Implications for Wales
Mr. Robert Walter (North Dorset): I inform the Committee, as I have the Secretary of State and you, Mr. Jones, that I have a long-standing constituency engagement this afternoon and will not be present for the winding-up speeches.
If ever there was an example of all spin and no delivery, it was this Budget, which contained a series of recycled announcements. We were given cuts in duty on petrol that no one can buyclearly a great advantage to all of usbut there was no acknowledgement of the 45 stealth taxes, nor a new tax on spin, which was a great disappointment. The Secretary of State for Wales has done nothing to convince the Committee of the real benefits for the people of Wales; he has merely given us more spin.
Many Labour Members present will lose their seats at the forthcoming general election, some by choice, whereas others are on the list made by the Minister for Energy and Competitiveness in Europe, the hon. Member for Neath (Mr. Hain). That list includes the hon. Members for Vale of Clwyd, for Conwy (Mrs. Williams), for Monmouth (Mr. Edwards), for Preseli Pembrokeshire (Mrs. Lawrence), for Cardiff, North (Ms Morgan), and for Vale of Glamorgan (Mr. Smith). They may want to make their farewell speeches, so I shall be brief.
A degree of fantasy was evident in some of the speeches made by Labour Members and some of their Liberal Democrat friends. To hear them speak, one would imagine that we had had a Conservative Government for the past four yearssome old Labour Members might think that we have, but the reality is that we have had a Labour Government for nearly four years.
Mr. Alun Michael (Cardiff, South and Penarth): Does the hon. Gentleman accept that a careful study of Hansard for the 18 years up to the last general election showed Conservative Ministers laying the blame for everything on the Labour Government who were in office until 1979? Does he recognise that he is guilty of some amnesia here and that blaming a previous Government for three or four years is reasonable in comparison to blaming it for 18 years?
Mr. Walter: I am intrigued by the right hon. Gentleman's intervention: I suffer amnesia about the winter of discontent or all the things that happened in the late 1970s. I remember them wellheaven forbid that we should return to them.
I remind the right hon. Gentleman and other Labour Members that the reality is that the Labour Government have been responsible for the deterioration of the national health service in Wales. When the hon. Member for Monmouth spoke, I flicked through the figures for the health authority in the area that he represents. They show that the waiting lists in the Gwent health authority had increased dramatically not only the past four years, but in the past year. I am sure that he will not be proclaiming that on the doorsteps.
Mr. Win Griffiths: The hon. Gentleman talks about the deterioration of the health service in Wales. Can he explain why about 1,000 more patients a week than ever before are being treated? How is that deterioration?
Mr. Walter: It is simple: the number of people waiting for treatment, especially for serious illnesses, has increased. The numbers speak for themselves, and I shall discuss them in detail in a few moments.
Mr. Gareth Thomas: The hon. Gentleman mentioned proclaiming things on the doorsteps. Is he likely to advise Conservative candidates in Wales to proclaim that it is Conservative policy to make people pay for the costs of the so-called operations of old agecataract removal, hip replacements and treatment for simple fractures?
Mr. Walter: I am not sure where the hon. Gentleman got that bit of fantasy, which is certainly not our policy. I am sure that he did not get it from Jimmy James, who will be replacing him as the next Member of Parliament for Clwyd, West.
The reality is that Labour has presided over a failure to deliver on education in Wales and the greatest fall in farm incomes in Wales in living memory. The reality is that the Labour Government have sat powerless
Ann Clwyd (Cynon Valley): Talking of realities, is not the reality that the people of Wales were so disillusioned with the Conservative Government that they kicked all the Conservatives out of Wales? Is not the reality that people are so unconvinced by the Conservatives' arguments in opposition that they are unlikely to replace any of the Conservative Members who were kicked out of Wales? Is not the reality that the hon. Gentleman cannot claim to speak for Wales, because he represents North Dorset?
Mr. Walter: The reality is that the Conservative party got the second largest vote in Wales at the last general electionlarger than either Plaid Cymru or the Liberal Democrats. We secured about 20 per cent. of the vote, which the former Secretary of State, the right hon. Member for Caerphilly, described at the time as a wipeout, although a year or so later he described the 25 per cent. of the people of Wales who voted for the Assembly as a stunning victory.
Let me discuss more important economic factors. In recent months, the Labour Government have sat by powerless while thousands of jobs in Wales were lost. Last year, they increased the pension by a measly 75p.
Mr. Flynn: Will the hon. Gentleman give way?
Mr. Walter: I am struggling to limit my remarks to 10 minutes as I said I would. It looks as though we will have 10 minutes of interventions if I am too generous. I shall give way to hon. Members when I reach the meat of my comments rather than during my introduction.
It was a Labour Government who increased the annual tax bill for the average family by £640. Labour Members who represent Wales cannot escape the clear fact that Labour runs Wales. We must remind them that Labour is in power in the National Assembly, propped up by its Liberal Democrat toadiesRhodri's little helpersand that Labour is dominant in local government in Wales. At the general election, which the Secretary of State suggests will come soon, the Labour Government will be judged on their performance in Wales.
Economic figures are important when assessing the Budget. The most recent available data show that in the three months to November 2000, the employment rate in Wales fell to 69.2 per cent. from 69.6 per cent. in the same period in 1999. Before any hon. Member jumps, I know that the unemployment rate also went down from 7.4 per cent. to 6.5 per cent. However, unemployment has been falling in Wales for almost a decade. The current concern is that the rate of job creation and the rate at which unemployment is falling have both slowed over the past four years.
Unemployment in Wales remains higher than the UK average. Recent job losses were announced by Corus at Llanwern, Ebbw Vale, Shotton and Bryngwyn, by Dairy Crest at Lampeter, Marshfield and Carmarthen; and by Valeo in Gorseinon. All such losses point to a structural problem that the Government have yet to face.
Mr. Ruane: Will the hon. Gentleman give way?
Mr. Walter: Not at the moment.
The Secretary of State referred, although not at great length, to European objective 1 funding. That funding has been secured, but the Treasury has not provided a single new penny with which to match it and the Budget contained nothing to address that.
The Government will be judged on some of pledges they made at the last election, such as ``education, education, education''. The success of their education policy in Wales has been patchy at best. In 1997, the percentage of under-fives receiving full-time nursery education was 1.1 per cent. It remains 1.1 per cent. The percentage in part-time nursery classes has increased, but only from 25.8 per cent. to 27.7 per cent. That is hardly a realisation of the Government's vision of nursery education for all.
The average class size in maintained primary schools has decreased from 26.4 pupils to 25.2 pupils. However, the effect of cutting primary school class sizes is seen in statistics for secondary schools, which show that, in Wales, secondary school class sizes have risen from 20.6 in 1997-98 to 21 in 1999-2000. At the previous election, class size was one of Labour's key pledges, and it has failed to deliver on it. The Budget has done nothing but create more spin.
In Wales, the Labour Government's greatest failureno doubt, during the coming election we will return to it again and againwas their commitment to cut waiting lists by treating an extra 100,000 patients as a first step. The latest figures from the National Assembly about NHS waiting lists in Wales, dated 28 February, show that the number of Welsh residents waiting for in-patient or day-case treatment has risen from just over 67,000 in 1997 to 75,000 on 31 January this year. That represents an increase of 11.5 per cent. The number of patients waiting more than 18 months for in-patient treatment has risen from 1,402 in 1997 to 4,818 in January this yearan increase of 243 per cent. However, the worst figure of all is the number of patients waiting more than six months for their first out-patient appointment, which has risen from 5,956 in 1997 to 48,506an increase of more than 700 per cent.
Mr. Ruane: If the situation is as bad as the hon. Gentleman makes out, will he inform us whether £16 billion of spending cuts will improve or worsen it?
Mr. Walter: I do not know where the hon. Gentleman obtained his figure of £16 billion, but let me tell him that there will be no spending cuts at all in the health service under the next Conservative Government; nor will there be cuts in education, the police, or any other essential service. [Interruption.] The hon. Gentleman should listen to this. Labour will be judged at the election as being all spin and no delivery. This Labour Government have not delivered and, as the health figures that I cited make clear, their friends in the Assembly have not delivered either.
Wales has fantastic opportunities, but the key to a prosperous Welsh economy lies in keeping taxes down and reducing regulationsetting free the hard-working people of Wales to succeed. Wales needs a common-sense revolution, and it will get one shortly.

VIDEO S&WFF;: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil (Last Day to Submit FIlms)
When the Soviet collapse occurred in 1990 Cuba had an emergency transition to local organic agriculture, renewable energy, and large-scale mass transit. The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil (US/Cuba, 2006, Documentary, 53min by Community Service Inc, Faith Morgan) uses Cuba's experience to show how a society can change from an industrialized, global focus to a local, community-based one. The filmmakers approach Cuba as a living model for how the rest of the world can respond to the coming world oil production peak. More info here and here.

October 9, 2012 (CHICAGO) --Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle is reportedly considering a violence tax.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports she may try to tax guns and ammunition sold in the city and suburbs to raise money for the cash-strapped county.
Preckwinkle's chief of staff says the plan could help raise money and reduce violence.

There's something somewhere scratching silently inside of me
It's always with me somewhere growing- feeding steadily
Without a line from who we are to what we claim to be,
Every time we lose ourselves, we find our destiny
We hurt and kill the ones we love and
Give to charity
And then we, and then we
Smile at those we hate and
Feed on their prosperity
Until we, until we
Hate, we hate our shadows
We hate our shadows
Don't look back
Beaming through the brightest moment
When there's hell to pay
Sealing up inside ourselves,
We hush it all away
Responding badly to the news that
Everything's Okay
So kill ourselves tomorrow just to
Push us through today
I hate living this way
So why can't we change?
I hate living this way
So why can't we change?
We change forever

MP3 Frequency Sampling Rate
When MP3 files talk about frequency sampling rates of 44.1 kHz, they are not talking about how high or low the notes are. They are talking about the quality of the audio file.
For example, CDs typically cover an audio range of 20 Hz (very low sounds) to 20,000 Hz (very high sounds). But the sampling rate on a CD is 44.1 kHz. In essence that means that every second of sound that goes by, that sound is sampled 44,100 times. The mathematical properties of waves cause the maximum frequency recorded at this rate to be around 22,000 Hz. Since even the most accurate human ear only hears up to around 20,000 Hz, and most adults only hear up to 14,000 Hz or even lower, this is more than enough to cover a human ear's range.
If you cut the sampling rate down to 22.05 kHz to save file space, you would now only be reproducing sounds up to a maximum "high notes" area of around 11,000 Hz. Since even middle aged or older listeners can hear higher noises than that, it will cause music to sound flat or dull, losing all the high end aspects. It would be like listening to a great symphony but for some reason all the flutes and cymbals were played behind a thick mattress.
Therefore, while you might look at other adjustments to make to your audio file compression software, it's best to leave the frequency sampling rate at the default of 44.1 KHz. This truly gives your ears the best possible experience they can get.

New to energy saving? This guide helps you identify measures where energy and cost savings can be easily made with little or no cost.
Most businesses could use a lot less energy. Experience shows that even low and no-cost actions can usually reduce energy costs by at least 10% and produce quick returns.
Going further, a 20% cut in energy costs represents the same bottom line benefit as a 5% increase in sales in many businesses.
This 17-page guide is designed for use by anyone new to energy saving - especially in smaller businesses. It recognises that not everyone has the time or resources to undertake a full carbon management programme.
The guide shows how to identify measures where energy and cost savings can be easily made with little or no cost.

This week The Economist featured Mark Schapiro's Exposed, calling it "a gripping new book." The article, "Brussels Rules OK," points out:
"Mr Schapiro is a campaigner for tougher regulation of American business. Yet you do not have to share his taste for banning chemicals to agree with his prediction that American industry will want stricter standards to create a level playing-field at home."

Oh yeahhhh! Doing the happy dance. lol First I'm excited that its Friday and I'm definitely ready to celebrate this weekend. I know I've been out of the loop for over a week, in touching base with my blog but I've been working on a few projects here and there. I figured it would be great to share my excitement today & catch up on updates.
As for Weight Watchers, it is still going great as it has from day one. I can't complain. Every 10 pounds seems like a milestone for me. Honestly, I feel like I lost the weight of a 2 year old baby. Crazy when you think of it like that. I'm achieving more than I had expected and its a goal that I feel will come to an end, when the time is right. I'm just sticking to the plan daily and I've become so comfortable with it. All my friends have been super supportive in helping work out at the gym, always tell me what a great job I'm doing not being tempted to eat their junk and always pre pack my fruits and snacks in zip locks, when I go to their house. When we bbq, they even buy skinless chicken legs just for me. Awww...they are too sweet. What can I say, not only am I making myself proud but I know that my friends and family are behind me 110%.
On to the subject of my crafts and party planning, I have been really focused on getting all my resources together and putting my mind to work. I've made some amazing progress and I'm really excited to see it all pull together soon. Looking forward to a new beginning and exciting career in the making.
Thats it for now folks...........!!!

What It Took to Keep Oprah's Farewell Bash Under Wraps
There weren't enough ficus plants at Harpo to hide all the celebrities.
Some of you may remember the "surprise" farewell put on for Oprah Winfrey in May at Chicago's United Center, the one where 85 percent of America's celebrities took turns paying homage to the queen of talk: Usher, Tom Cruise, Maria Shriver, Madonna, Patti LaBelle, Will Smith, Tina Fey — oh, and how the list goes on. Well, turns out it's a logistical nightmare keeping that many famous faces below Oprah's radar and right in her backyard. For a full behind-the-scenes look, you can tune in to Oprah's new cable network OWN tomorrow at 8 p.m. But for a few of the near-misses that almost spoiled the "surprise" (and yes, let's pretend Oprah really had no idea what was coming), keep reading.
Tom Hanks: The night before the extravaganza, Oprah executive producer Sheri Salata got a phone call from the restaurant where Oprah was supposed to have dinner. Tom Hanks — in Chicago to host the farewell's first hour — had reserved a table at the same restaurant. "Cancel Tom," she told the maître d', "because she'll see right through that!"
Beyoncé: Like all good superstars, Beyoncé was planning to headline the show with a bevy of backup dancers, who at one point were practicing in the Oprah studio. They'd just wrapped up their session and left the building when who walks in, dressed in her sweats, but Oprah.
Maya Angelou: During rehearsals, Angelou got a phone call from Oprah asking what she was doing, whom she was with, where she was at. You know, all the questions a mother would ask her teenage daughter who she thought was hanging with the wrong crowd. The celebrated author and poet, cool as cool can be, replied: "Somewhere. But I'll be home tomorrow."
Here's to hoping that tomorrow's show includes footage of Halle Berry and John Travolta hiding behind one of those overstuffed Starbucks armchairs because Oprah decided to get herself a chai tea latte.

Goldman Sachs Struggles To Shake Bull Fever In Light Of Bear Data
Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) came out with a new update on their Global Leading Indicator. Goldman decided to admit that the advanced GLI reading "places the global cycle in the 'slowdown' phase". This latest statement comes on the heels of a year riddled with conflicting statements such as :
months of waiting patiently for an "expansion" signal,
claiming the S&P 500 was "overvalued",
flipping views from "slowdown" to "expansion",
issuing a 2050 S&P 500 price target and,
announcing a downgraded S&P 500 view from August to October.
The August Advanced GLI data fell 3.0 percent YoY with momentum falling to 0.24 percent MoM from 0.25 MoM in July. The compression in the GLI reading is being attributed to "an unusually large deterioration in the New Orders less Inventories component. Two of the seven indicators that make up the GLI have improved in July.

So if the recent volatility in the market and the pricing behavior is leaving you befuddled, you're not along, even Goldman is roaming around the woods blindfolded

Firefighters rescued three children Tuesday when a fire tore through their East New York apartment, trapping them inside, authorities said.
The blaze broke out just after 11 a.m. on the fourth floor of an eight-story building in the Pink Houses at 1308 Loring Ave. where the boys, ages 4, 5 and 8, were staying with their 66-year-old grandfather, officials said.
One of the little boys, wearing only his underwear, wasn't breathing when firefighters saved him from the burning apartment. They gave the child CPR before pulling him out of the smoky building through the front door.
"He must've been sleeping. He was covered head to toe in black smoke," Darrell Wright, 32, whose mother lives on the fifth floor, said of the unconscious boy.
Firefighters attacking the blaze from the outside of the building rescued the other two children through a fourth-floor window, witnesses said.
"They brought the other two out from the window. They had smoke on them too," Wright said.
The grandfather, who regularly watches the kids, was speechless and "in a state of shock" as the children were brought out of the blaze.
"He thought it was his fault. He was watching them," said Wright.
A 911 caller reported that there were children trapped inside the building and hanging out the window, cops said.
The grandfather and all three children were taken to Brookdale Hospital, officials said.
The grandfather and the 5- and 8-year-old boys were treated for smoke inhalation and are listed in stable condition, cops said. The 4-year-old boy was treated for trauma and his condition is serious but stable.
A 54-year-old woman, who lives in another apartment on the fourth floor, was treated for smoke inhalation at the scene, cops said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the fire marshal.

NEW BRUNSWICK — U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced the award of $16.8 million to support 27 Public Health Training Centers (PHTC) at schools of public health and other public or non-profit institutions across the country on Monday. This includes a grant totaling nearly $648,000 for the School of Public Health at the University of Medicine and Dentistry.
The PHTC Program helps improve the public health system by enhancing skills of the current and future public health workforce. Institutions accredited to provide graduate or specialized training in public health are eligible for funding. Most of the funding – $15.4 million – is made available by the Prevention and Public Health Fund included as part of the Affordable Care Act.
"Today's awards represent a dramatic increase in support for Public Health Training Centers," said Sebelius. "Investing in prevention and public health is the foundation for improving the health and well-being of all Americans."
Funded organizations (1) plan, develop, operate and evaluate projects that support goals established by the Secretary in preventive medicine, health promotion and disease prevention; or (2) improve access to and quality of health services in medically underserved communities. Other PHTC activities include assessing the learning needs of the public health workforce; providing accessible training; and working with organizations to meet strategic planning, education, and resource needs.
"Whether facing public health emergencies such as natural disasters, or chronic conditions like obesity, a well-trained public health workforce is critical to ensuring the nation's health and welfare," said Mary K. Wakefield, Ph.D., R.N., administrator of HHS' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), which oversees the PHTC program.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Tuesday called for a "joint administration" of Kirkuk and other areas claimed by both his government and the autonomous Kurdish region, provided that Baghdad has ultimate authority in such an arrangement.
Abadi's proposal, made at a news conference in Baghdad according to state TV, aims mainly at settling the dispute over the multi-ethnic, oil-rich region of Kirkuk.
Kurdish Peshmerga fighters took control of Kirkuk in 2014, when Iraqi forces collapsed in the face of Islamic State's advance across northern Iraq.

So who has heard of AR Points? For those of you that have not, it stands for Accelerated Reader. It is an extremely popular method for elementary schools to promote students to read. Here is how the program works: you read a book and depending on the length, answer some questions to check for understanding. Sounds dumb, well at least at the start it did to me, until it encouraged me to take my oldest daughter to the library so that she can check out books and read them to earn points. All while this is occurring, my middle daughter is becoming obsessed with going with us. At this point she just loves the elevator and the toy room in the children's section but I am optimistic that it will also foster an desire to read. One that I never had until I was at least 25!
The purpose of the story here is three fold:
- I want to encourage you to support your child in the AR challenges that go on in their schools and take them to the library because it is a chance to make memories! I genuinely cherish the time that we spend together going, taking a test, participating in some activities, and then heading home.
- We want to guarantee our child's success right?
- This project that the Harvard Family Research Project is RIGHT ON!
At my neighborhood library there are a ton of things that my daughters and I can do besides checking out a book. There are nightly activities to engage families in some quality time and most of them have nothing to do with books. Instead their are activities around Lego's, obstacle course challenges, and art projects. I encourage you to check out your neighborhood library, odds are you will be surprised and impressed with all the fun things going on inside!
Check out the work of the Harvard Family Research Project (HFRP) and then bookmark it because their project has only begun!

ABC Rescuing Ugly Betty From Friday Night
Wednesday night is so much kinder.
ABC's banishment of Ugly Betty to Friday night pretty much killed the show's ratings (it has lost 46 percent of its adult demo audience since returning for the fall season). But that's the past! The network has mercifully decided to save Betty from Friday-night hell by moving the show to Wednesdays. It will take over the slot vacated by Eastwick in January. Don't forget to program that VCR!

Since the critical period for language development occurs within the first thirty-six months of a child's life, significant language delay may indicate specific medical or cognitive problems. Beyond medical problems, there are several factors that could modify the rate of normal language production. We review these factors in the following discussion.
Gender Differences
Are there differences in the rate and ways that boys and girls develop language fluency and proficiency? This question reflects another facet of the ongoing nature versus nurture debate. Observational research consistently reveals that a majority of girls talk earlier and talk more than the majority of boys. It is also true that the majority of late talkers are young boys (Healy, 1997; Kalb & Namuth, 1997). However, it is difficult to determine whether differences in the rate of language acquisition are biological or if biological differences are exaggerated by social influences. There is evidence for both views. For example, neurobiological research offers graphic images that illustrate how men's and women's brains process language somewhat differently (Corballis, 1991; Moir & Jessel, 1991). Though this research appears to support nature as the dominant factor in language differences, it is also important to consider how powerful a role nurture plays. Experimental research consistently documents differential treatment of infants based on gender. In other words, men and women tend to cuddle, coo at, and engage in lengthy face-to-face conversations with baby girls. Yet with baby boys, adults are likely to exhibit "jiggling and bouncing" behaviors but are not as likely to engage in sustained face-to-face verbal interactions. Perhaps girls talk earlier and talk more because they receive more language stimulation (Huttenlocher, 1991).
Socioeconomic Level
Numerous studies have long documented the differences in the rate of language acquisition and the level of language proficiency between low and middle socioeconomic families (Hart & Risley, 1995; Morisset, 1995; Walker, Greenwood, Hart, & Carta, 1994). These studies found that children, especially males, from low-income homes were usually somewhat slower to use expressive language than children from middle-income homes. These findings likely reflect social-class differences both in language use in general and in parent–child interaction patterns. For example, Betty Hart and Todd Risley (1995) estimate that by age four, children from professional families have had a cumulative total of 50 million words addressed to them, whereas children from welfare families have been exposed to only 13 million words. The children from professional families have had more than three times the linguistic input than welfare families' children; this gives them a tremendous advantage in language acquisition.
Results of long-term observations of middle-income and lower-income families concluded that all mothers spent a great deal of time nurturing their infants (e.g., touching, hugging, kissing, and holding), but that there were differences in the way mothers verbally interacted with their children. Middle-income mothers spent a great deal more time initiating verbal interactions and usually responded to and praised their infants' vocal efforts. Middle-income mothers were also more likely to imitate their infants' vocalizations. These verbal interactions stimulate neural-synapse networks that foster expressive and receptive language. It is still unclear why lower-income mothers do not engage their children in verbal interactions at the same level as middle-income mothers. The authors of these studies speculate that this may be a reflection of social-class differences in language use in general.
Cultural Influences
The rate of language acquisition may be somewhat different for children of different cultures. Since spoken language is a reflection of the culture from which it emerges, it is necessary to consider the needs verbal language serves in the culture. Communication may be accomplished in other meaningful nonverbal ways (González, Oviedo, & O'Brien de Ramirez, 2001; Bhavnagri & Gonzalez-Mena, 1997).
Likewise, some cultures do not view babies' vocal attempts as meaningful communication. Shirley Brice Heath (1983) describes a community in which infants' early vocalizations are virtually ignored and adults do not generally address much of their talk directly to infants. Many cultures emphasize receptive language, and children listen as adults speak.
Medical Concerns
Beyond gender, socioeconomic, and culture differences, other reasons that children's language may be delayed include temporary medical problems and congenital complications. Estimates of hearing impairments vary considerably, with one widely accepted figure of 5 percent representing the portion of young children with hearing levels outside the normal range. Detection and diagnosis of hearing impairment have become very sophisticated. It is possible to detect hearing loss and evaluate its severity in a newborn child.
Congenital Language Disorders
For most children, learning to communicate is a natural, predictable developmental progression. Unfortunately, some children have congenital language disorders that impair their ability to learn language or use it effectively. The origin of these disorders may be physical or neurological. Examples of physical problems include malformation of the structures in the inner ear or a poorly formed palate. Neurological problems could include dysfunction in the brain's ability to perceive or interpret the sounds of language.
Though the symptoms of various language disorders may appear similar, effective treatment may differ significantly, depending on the cause of the problem. For example, articulation problems caused by a physical malformation of the palate might require reconstructive surgery, while articulation problems caused by hearing impairment might require a combination of auditory amplification and speech therapy. Two of the most common symptoms of congenital language disorders are disfluency and pronunciation.
Children with fluency disorders have difficulty speaking rapidly and continuously. They may speak at an abnormal rate—too fast or too slow; in either case, their speech is often incomprehensible and unclearly articulated. The rhythm of their speech may also be severely affected. Stuttering is the most common form of this disorder. Many children may have temporary fluency disruptions or stuttering problems as they are learning to express themselves in sentences. Children who are making a transition to a second language may also experience brief stuttering episodes. It is important for parents or teachers to be patient and supportive, as it may take time to distinguish normal developmental or temporary lapses in fluency from a true pathology. Stuttering may have multiple origins and may vary from child to child. Regardless of cause, recently developed treatment protocols have been effective in helping stutterers. (Dodd & Bradford, 2000).
Articulation disorders comprise a wide range of problems and may have an equally broad array of causes. Minor misarticulations in the preschool years are usually developmental and will generally improve as the child matures. Occasionally, as children lose their baby teeth, they may experience temporary challenges in articulation. However, articulation problems that seriously impede a child's ability to communicate needs and intentions must be diagnosed. Causes of such problems may include malformation of the mouth, tongue, or palate; partial loss of hearing due to a disorder in the inner ear; serious brain trauma; or a temporary hearing loss due to an ear infection (Copeland & Gleason, 1993; Forrest, 2002).
It is important to remember that some children may simply show delayed language development; this may mean that a child is gaining control over speaking mechanisms at a slower rate than same-age peers or has had limited opportunity to hear speech or interact with others. Children who are learning a second language may also appear to have articulation difficulties when they attempt to use their second language. Anyone learning a new phonemic system will experience some difficulty in expressing new sound combinations. "Bilingual children should be assessed in their native language and referred for therapy only if an articulation disorder is present in that language" (Piper, 1993, p. 193). Caregivers and teachers need to be careful not to confuse the normal course of second-language acquisition with speech disorders.

Parents both delight in and worry about these darling mispronunciations, which are a normal part of the language development process. Most mispronunciations are usually caused by a combination of children mishearing sounds and misarticulation of new words. Most of these mispronunciations self-correct with maturation.

After Ole-Johanas retirement at the beginning of the new millennium, some of us had thought and talked about making a aFestschrifta in his honor. When Donald Knuth took the initiative by sending us the ?rst contribution, the p- cess began to roll! In early 2002 an editing group was formed, including Kristen Nygaard, who had known Ole-Johan since their student days, and with whom he had developed the Simula language. Then we invited a number of prominent researchers familiar with Ole-Johan to submit contributions for a book hon- ing Ole-Johan on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Invitees included several members of the IFIP 2. 3 working group, a forum that Ole-Johan treasured and enjoyedparticipating in throughouthis career. In spite of the shortdeadline, the response to the invitations was overwhelmingly positive. The original idea was to complete the book rather quickly to make it a gift he could read and enjoy, because by then he had had cancer for three years, and his health was gradually deteriorating. Kristen had been regularly visiting Ole-Johan, who was in the hospitalat that time, and they were workingon their Turing award speech. Ole-Johan was grati?ed to hear about the contributions to this book, but modestly expressed the feeling that there was no special need to undertake a book project on his behalf. Peacefully accepting his destiny, Ole- Johan died on June 29, 2002.This book is dedicated to the memory of Ole-Johan Dahl who passed away in June 2002 at the age of 70, shortly after he had received, together with his colleague Kristen Nygaard, the ACM Alan M. Turing Award: aquot;For ideas fundamental to the ...

It is how an engineer turned school administrator is showing his Spirit of Giving.
Twenty-year-old Christian Delgado is one of about forty young people getting hands-on preparation for a high-tech career by enrolling in Year Up.
"I had part-time jobs and I just didn't know where to get started for college," he said. "I didn't know where to start.
"Year Up is a year-long program," said executive director Alan Anderson. "We work with young adults ages 18-24 who have a high school diploma or GED and simply put, we take them from poverty to professional career in one year."
For the first six months, the program teaches professional skills. And through a partnership with Harold Washington College, students earn college credits in information technology. They spend the next six months working as a corporate intern. Accenture is one of fifteen area companies participating so far.
"What we like about Year Up is the fact that they are laser-focused on helping people get jobs," said Accenture Chicago managing director Michael Scimo.
And so is Accenture. Jose Felix interned at Accenture through Year Up and was hired full time in their IT department.
"My plan was to be in an environment like this," Felix said. "I think by joining Year Up, I was able to fast track that."
Year Up started in Boston in 2000. Anderson, a former Motorola engineer turned Chicago Public Schools administrator, founded the Chicago chapter in 2010.
"There was another side to me that was focused on social responsibility, so I always had tutoring or mentoring going on outside of my life at work," he said
Mentoring is a major component of year up. Twenty-two-year-old Toni Ellis who is a single mother of two boys says the extra support is critical.
"They help with housing and transportation," Ellis said. "They help with food, childcare, anything you can think of that you might need outside of year up."
Anderson says that help beyond the academics keeps students focused and increases their likelihood to succeed.
"The students average at $5,700 dollars of income prior to entering the program," he said. "By the completion of the program, we say within four months of graduation 85% of our alums must be at a livable wage or continuing their college education. We say livable wage is making on average $30-35,000 a year."
Year Up, which currently serves about 140 students, is planning to expand to accommodate up to 800 young people by the end of 2014.

Sports vs Performing Arts
The performing arts have been proven to increase a child's mind. Yet sports keep the mind and body strong. This is a debate that has being going on for the past 20 years. On whether funding should be used to fund sports or the performing arts. People argue for both sides. Today I am arguing for the performing arts.
Music education being the right of all children it must be taught in appropriate ways suggested by the geographical cultural and social environment (3). And yes, that is true. Every child should have the write to experience. Every person, in every culture is introduced to some form of music. Whether a person lives in Asia, Africa, Italy, or the USA. That person is introduced to the kind of music in that culture. But scientists have said time after time that "Music lessons appear to strengthen the links between brain neutrons and build new spatial reasoning, says psychologist, Frances Rauscher of University of California-Irving.
The thought of teaching music in schools did not even begin until the late 1970's. According to Bill Ivey who is the Chairman, National Endowment for the Arts " By the late 1970's, we began to realize that along with scientific knowledge and physical fitness, we needed to feed the imagination of students with arts (Ivey, 56)." Which says something about the United States. This country is always saying how everything is done for the future of this country, the children. Then, how come the idea of teaching music wasn't thought of till then?
But at least the USA decided to mandate that the arts be taught in schools from elementary to high school. "Not just in elementary schools or in high schools as electives, but as a comprehensive, sequential curriculum taught by qualified teachers, beginning with pre-school instruction and continuing with required courses for high school graduation (Ivey, 55)." Later, into the 1980's the United States slowly began to evaluate what music did to the mind. How the mind was scoped by music, what music did to the brain and etc? The Music Education Association says, " They feel that the arts will play a major roll in the future success of the educational system (6). "
"By the late 1980's, Congress mandated that the National Endowment of the Arts to report on the status of arts education (Ivey, 56). And it was proven that children who study the arts score higher on test, do better in school, and even scored higher on the College Boards SAT's. "Our case for the critical importance of the arts is also bolstered by the College Boards report that students who study the arts in general, and music in particular, score considerably higher on both the verbal and math sections of the SAT (Ivey, 55). " Music has also been shown to do better with high school students, "It has been shown that high school music students have higher grade point averages than non-music students in the same school (6). " Music students are out performing non-music students on the SAT's. College bound seniors with coursework or experience in music performance scored 52 percent higher on the verbal portion and 37 points higher on the math portion.
Other groups have also studied the effects of music and the arts on the brain and on people. J.W. Flohr and D.C. Miller used an electroencephalogram to investigate subtle changes in brain electrical activity (Teaching Music, 41). The study showed that the activity in the temporal regions of the brain were higher then an average child. Proving that music does do something to the brain. Many other groups have done research or have seen what music does to a child or to people. Bob Schaffer of Colorado who is a member of the House of Representative says, " recent scientific studies confirm what teachers of old have always known- music and the other arts stimulate higher brain function (11). "
According to the Music Education Association and Rauscher...

John White, the state's top education official, said Tuesday that educators deserve to know that Louisiana is committed to following through with its adoption of Common Core academic standards, taking an implicit swipe at lawmakers who have tried to derail implementation and Gov. Bobby Jindal, who is still threatening to do so.
Speaking to thousands of teachers gathered in New Orleans for a conference on the transition, White said, "You deserve clarity, you deserve a long-term plan, you deserve not to have standards and curriculum and assessments tossed about in the morning headlines like they can be changed with the waving of a magic wand."
Louisiana has been moving toward the Common Core since 2010, gearing up for a new set of standards spelling out which skills students should master in each grade. White, the state's education superintendent, has been warning for months that any last-minute retreat would leave school systems in disarray.
His remarks came a day after the close of the legislative session in Baton Rouge, where the state's trajectory toward full implementation of the Common Core came out unscathed despite dozens of bills related to the new standards.
But the governor has been increasingly critical of the Common Core, and his views on the subject are under a microscope. Jindal is widely expected to run for president in 2016, and the Common Core, which has attracted growing criticism on the right, will almost certainly play a role in that election.
Some state lawmakers argue that Jindal could still block Louisiana from buying Common Core-aligned tests the state was planning to adopt next year — something the governor said last week he would consider.
"This whole process has been rushed, and now we are going to be deliberate and get the next steps right," Jindal said in a statement Tuesday, again stopping short of any specific decision. "Education is best left to local control, and we will act to ensure that remains the case in Louisiana."
White, who has challenged the idea that Jindal could scrap the Common Core unilaterally, did not go into specifics Tuesday, but he argued that teachers deserve an end to uncertainty on the issue.
"For years, we have been walking this journey," he said. "Each leg of the trip has provided some challenge, some doubt, some controversy. Now, as we turn the final corner, we see a long, straight road ahead. And we policymakers owe teachers consistency. Now we owe you clarity. Now we owe you time to settle in and lead the way."
The dueling comments between White and Jindal over the past few weeks have opened a jarring public divide between two officials who have usually been seen as close allies. Jindal helped install White as head of the Louisiana Department of Education in the first place, and the two men worked in tandem on a broader education agenda during previous legislative sessions.
In his latest remarks, White seemed to throw down a challenge to the governor, who only last week told a group of Republican activists that the Common Core amounts to an intrusion by "Washington bureaucrats." Conservatives attending the Republican National Leadership Conference in New Orleans — worried the Common Core is being forced on states by the Obama administration — welcomed the governor's remarks.
The teachers who gathered from around the state to hear White speak Tuesday at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center — nearly 4,000 of them, according to the Department of Education — offered the superintendent polite but somewhat restrained applause.
Many teachers around Louisiana have ambivalent feelings about the Common Core themselves, generally not because they oppose the standards, but because they want more time to prepare for new tests and more help from state officials.
In interviews afterwards, some teachers mentioned that guidelines on where to find Common Core-aligned textbooks and other materials came out only recently, and they pointed to a lack of funding for the new computers that students will eventually need to take the tests. Some declined to speak for attribution, worried about angering superiors back home.
Jacquequel Johnson, an instructional specialist in St. James Parish, said her school had a good experience testing out new Common Core tests that Louisiana is planning to adopt next year. "I loved the rigor," she said, but when asked about White's speech she smiled ruefully and held her tongue.
"It was all kind of thrown at us," said Shanette Armstrong, a second-grade teacher from Monroe, talking about the transition to the new standards, which she supports. "I enjoyed what White said," she added. "I just hope it's all true."

Chicken & Rice Truck to Bring NYC Style Street Meat to L.A.
Big news for fans of New York City style street meat- our prayers have finally be answered! A new truck is getting set to hit Los Angeles serving chicken and lamb over rice with white sauce and hot sauce. It's called Chicken & Rice and they're hoping to open next week in a parking lot on Hollywood & Highland (next to Mel's).
Check out the menu, after the jump…
We confirmed that the lamb will be gyro, and it sounds like the white sauce will most likely be mayo based (like most of the carts in NYC.) The owner also owns Spice Hollywood Bistro, which opened back in March, and has no real connection to street meat besides just being a huge fan and wanting to bring it to L.A. They're hoping to be open by Thursday, January 23rd with a grand opening $5 special, but you should check their Facebook page to confirm.

Indonesian rescue teams are searching for at least 44 people reported missing after landslides buried their villages in the country's east.
Days of heavy rain triggered the landslides Saturday on Flores island, killing at least 25 people. Earlier reports had said 40 bodies were recovered, but health workers scaled back the death toll Sunday.
Officials say blocked roads are making it difficult for relief workers to reach the disaster areas. They are trying to deliver emergency aid, including rice and instant noodles, to the landslide victims.
Seasonal downpours cause landslides and flash floods annually in Indonesia. Last month, floods in the capital, Jakarta, killed nearly 100 people and paralyzed large sections of the city.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP, AP and Reuters.
