Larsen Announces Public Meeting with Navy Leadership on San Juan Islands
WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen (WA-02) announced today that the Navy would hold a public meeting in Friday Harbor to listen to citizens' comments about EA-18G Growler operations at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island (NASWI).
The Navy is currently performing an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) on the effects of a potential increase in the number of Growlers operating at NASWI. The EIS will incorporate 5 different scenarios, ranging from 82 planes to a maximum of 118. The Navy had previously scheduled public meetings for 10/28-10/30 in Coupeville, Oak Harbor, and Anacortes for people to share their views with Navy leadership.
"During a recent public meeting on Lopez Island, I listened to my constituents who had concerns about noise and increasing the number of Growlers at NASWI. I asked the Navy to address the jet noise concerns from the San Juans and am pleased that they responded and are taking seriously outreach to the Islands," said Rep. Larsen. "I remain committed to ensuring that NASWI remains a premier Navy asset and I am working to find solutions to reduce the impact of noise on local communities," Larsen concluded.
Larsen recently attended a meeting on Lopez Island to address community concerns about jet noise from flights out of NASWI. During this meeting he laid out his ideas about how to reduce the impact of jet noise going forward. This plan includes finding funding for an acoustic hangar to reduce noise impact on Lopez Island, research into technology to reduce engine noise, software that might safely reduce the required number of training flights, and asking the Navy to do monitoring on the San Juans as part of an environmental impact study for the EA-18G Growler.
The Navy has also added an additional public meeting in Port Townsend. Date, time, and location for these two meetings have not yet been announced. For additional information, please visit https://www.whidbeyeis.com/

Platinum Bank Checks Automatically Credit Histories and Passport Details
Platinum Bank, jointly with First Credit Bureau of Ukraine, implemented a project of checking automatically credit histories and passport details of prospect borrowers against FCBU's databases and lost passport databases of the Ministry of Internal Affairs which project is completely new for Ukraine.
Checking against the above databases is carried out online upon the receipt of a loan application and makes it possible to recheck the passport details of prospect customers (lawfulness of issue, whether or not the passport was lost/stolen), as well as to analyze a customer's financial position if he/she has received already loans from other banks when applying for a new loan.
Andrey Ignatov, Head of the Operational Risk Department of Platinum Bank, noted that: "For the time being, such an automated verification of our customers' details is a unique for the banking market. This project enables the customers to be protected additionally against any illegal use of their passports, speedups significantly the process of evaluating a financial position of a prospect customer, and ensures both good and prompt loan decision making. Already now, the implementation of such a project enables us to save around UAH400 thou of our depositors monthly."
Antonina Palamarchuk, Chairman of the First Credit Bureau of Ukraine, emphasized that: "The situation in the lending market has shown the necessity of a more careful check of a borrower. Platinum Bank approaches to work on credit risk reduction with a great responsibility and integrates effectively information from the credit bureau in loan making processes."
First Credit Bureau of Ukraine provides information and solutions for credit risk management with coverage throughout Ukraine. In 2008, there were created engineering conditions for processing data of credit histories while taking account of banking system needs with providing banks online with a broad spectrum of services.
Bank Profile:
Platinum Bank (www.platinumbank.com.ua) (operating formerly under such brands as IMB Group, International Mortgage Bank, and Family Credit) offers deposits and loan products to individuals through its network of outlets and points of sales throughout Ukraine. As at January 01, 2009, Platinum Bank's consolidated assets were UAH1.4 billion. Platinum Bank ranks the first among the Ukrainian banks in terms of capitalization (the consolidated share capital / assets ratio) and the 34th in terms of consolidated share capital. The main shareholders of Platinum Bank include international management companies Horizon Capital, East Capital and IFC (a member of the World Bank Group).
Bureau Profile:
First Credit Bureau of Ukraine (http://www.pvbki.com/) was founded by the banking system of Ukraine in July 2005 in order to reduce the risk of lending activities.

DIY Munari mobile
I'm sure I've mentioned before my interests in Montessori methods. Although I'm not following them perfectly, I do appreciate the simple beauty of many of the Montessori materials, and this mobile is no exception.
This mobile is the first in a series recommended for infants. The black and white designs are meant to capture the newborn's interest and attention. (If you want to read more, this and this provide more info on the mobiles/rationale for their use. Here are more pictures of sweet babies and their mobiles!)
We've set up an area for Elli to "work" alongside her big sister. For now, E will be able to lay on a blanket on the floor and look in the mirror or gaze at the mobile. (We tried a mat, but the dogs kept trying to claim it for their own, so now we'll just lay a baby blanket down for E.)
I didn't want to make a hole in the ceiling (that's how most mobiles are attached) because our ceiling is textured and not easy for me to repair when the kids are grown. Instead, I picked up a plant hook from Hobby Lobby, spray painted it white, and had J hang it alongside the window (where I can hide any damage from the holes behind curtains when the kids are grown). I followed these directions to make the mobile – the most difficult part of the project was balancing the weight. The materials needed to make the mobile are simple: dowels, fishing line, black & white paper & craft paint, a glass ball (I used an ornament), electrical tape, and glue (to hold the fishing line in place). I only needed to buy a dowel… total cost for the project: $0.29 – SCORE! 🙂
Elli spends more and more time awake with each passing day, and seems to be very interested in her own reflection as well as black and white figures. We have a series of black and white figures lining the edge of the pack 'n play that we use as a changing table, and she's been content staring at them for up to 20 min at a time. (Lilly also loved these pictures as an infant!). I'm hopeful that she'll eventually love this mobile as much!


text: SOUTH Dakota, where a sudden blizzard can tip the outcome of a close election, now has taken on unexpected importance with its early-in-the-season Democratic presidential primary.Two Midwestern contenders for the White House, Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa and Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, will test their political spurs here - and only one is expected to ride away unscathed. Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas, a Southern moderate, also could run strongly in this sparsely populated state where hunting, guns, and taking a poke at Washington are all popular pastimes. "All of a sudden South Dakota has taken on some significance," says Jeff Masten, chairman of the state's Democratic Party. In 1988, he observes, "nobody paid any attention." South Dakota's primary on Feb. 25 follows close on the heels of the first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire on Feb. 18. Democrats who ordinarily give South Dakota low billing are expected to wage an all-out fight here for its delegates and the extra media attention a victory would bring. Right now, analysts say Senator Harkin has the edge here - mostly because he got in first. "It's his to lose," says one political insider. But Senator Kerrey is building support. And Governor Clinton is getting organized. What is somewhat surprising is that Clinton is given a solid chance in this primary, at least for a second-place finish, even though South Dakota is widely assumed to be Harkin-Kerrey country. "I don't think Clinton ought to be written off just because Tom Harkin and Bob Kerrey are next door," says Steve Hildebrand, co-director of the South Dakota Democratic Party. "It's a small state and it's not that difficult to get to know people." During the past several years, Clinton has led a nationwide effort to rally conservatives and moderates within the Democratic Party. Mr. Hildebrand thinks there could be a market for some of Clinton's ideas, especially among older South Dakotans. "They would like his courtly approach," says one analyst. Clinton also may do well with teachers, who would appreciate his national leadership on education issues. But the three other major Democrats in the race are not expected to do as well here. They are former Gov. Jerry Brown of California, former Sen. Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts, and Gov. L. Douglas Wilder of Virginia. So far, none of the three have caught fire here. The importance of South Dakota to next year's presidential campaign was unexpected. Ordinarily, the Iowa caucuses, which gave candidates like Jimmy Carter and Gary Hart their starts, take the early spotlight along with New Hampshire. But when Harkin, Iowa's junior senator, got into the presidential race, the Iowa vote became moot: Harkin will certainly win. South Dakota now could take Iowa's place because of its early date and because it will serve as a level playing field in the Midwest upon which Harkin and Kerrey can slug it out for the title of regional champion. A loss here could very well doom the candidacy of one of them. What makes South Dakota particularly tantalizing to all the Democratic candidates is the low cost of running here. Even a political pauper can make a big splash. Candidates can saturate the TV airwaves in every corner of this state in the final two weeks of the campaign for just $35,000 - a mere bagatelle for most candidates. Furthermore, the state Democratic Party provides free mailing lists and services to all qualified candidates, making it possible for a late-starting campaign to blanket the state with literature in the final days of an election without having a large staff of its own. Chairman Masten notes that, for $150,000, a candidate can run an all-out "star wars" campaign here with TV, radio, mailings, offices, and all the other appurtenances one might need. What this means is that someone can come from behind and win here with little advance warning. That's what Rep. Richard Gephardt (D) of Missouri did against Gov. Michael Dukakis (D) of Massachusetts in 1988. With little more than a week to go, Mr. Gephardt came from 16 points back to win by 14 points - a 30-point turnaround in just 10 days. Conversations with a number of analysts here, including political scientist Robert Burns at South Dakota State University and political scientist Alan Clem at the University of South Dakota, yield the following assessments of the six principal contenders here: Harkin. The current front-runner. But Harkin failed to follow up his early lead here, and could be overtaken unless he visits the state more frequently. Kerrey. Most likely to finish second here, but Kerrey has a lot of work to do. He has gained important backing from Ted Muenster, the party's 1990 candidate for the US Senate. Some analysts, such as Dr. Burns, believe that, on primary day, the principal contest will be between Kerrey and Harkin. Clinton. Most of the Dakotans who vote in the primary are liberal, but those who are not may gravitate toward the Arkansas governor. If Harkin and Kerrey evenly split the liberal vote, Clinton could finish a strong third, or even second. Brown. Running an "outsider" campaign against Washington, Brown is expected to arouse some interest. But despite public curiosity, he is not expected to win many votes. Tsongas. "I haven't seen much enthusiasm," says one analyst. Coming from the East could also hurt Tsongas, just as it would Gov. Mario Cuomo of New York if he entered the race. Wilder. Like Tsongas, Wilder looks like a very long shot here. While his moderate views play well in some quarters, they are not expected to make a big splash with Dakota's liberal primary voters.

Happy birthday Antonio Vivaldi
Today it's Antonio Vivaldi's birthday. And so to celebrate, a musical treat. Not so well known as "The Four Seasons" or his "Gloria", this is his "Concerto a due cori con violino discordato" (RV 583) and it is sublime. If you are stretched for time, go the 5:20 mark and just listen to the Andante. Turn it up and have tissues ready...it includes a minute of possibly the most beautiful music ever composed. You will know when you get to the right spot.

I was nervous about starting Tolkien's Return of the King(ROTK). I'd seen the film exactly once in the theater. I didn't like the movie at all. It was long. It was tedious. Aesthetically it was beautiful, but so much time was setting up the pieces on the chess board that by the time checkmate came, I'd lost all interest in seeing who won. Still, I had already read the first two books and loved it. Live-tweeting them had been great fun, and considering its popularity I was sure this would be the piece de resistance of the series.
At first it was. After a wonderful little synopsis, which I promptly skipped, I dove into our adventure starting with Gandalf and Pippin who finally take us to this Gondor we've been hearing about for several hundred pages. Things are not so great there, but Gandalf gets them where they need to be with his usual flair. We're caught up on what shenanigans Aragorn, Merry, Gimli, and the elf are up to, and I was eventually whisked back and forth between doings in Rohan and Gondor. There are ghost armies, family drama of the "Cat's in the Cradle" variety, and a forgotten wonderful feminist twist in the middle, which I'm sure was very ahead of its time. Merry and Pippin gain massive experience points in battle, and having blocked out most of the film, I was eager to see what outcome awaited our heroes.
Unfortunately, between the bursts of action were long, drawn out geographical and strategic descriptions. I'm sure they were significant, though I couldn't tell you why. I could do little more than scan these bits briefly and hope that despite not giving the words my full attention, I wasn't missing any TOO important. Besides, wasn't the real focus the Ring? What were Sam and Frodo up to anyways? I chugged along, although I was starting to have flashbacks of the frustration I felt during a certain 200 minute-long film, the majority of it spent in the throes of one long, internal scream.
Then my mom died.
Less than two weeks after we buried her, America elected a canned ham as president. It was not a cute and as a queer Latina, I'm taking it pretty hard. After a temporary break from reading and live-tweeting, I picked the book back up with some reluctance, determined to see this thing through. There was also the promise of a beautiful, Gondor-themed wood pipe from Flogglewerks once I had completed the triology. I WANTED that pipe.
When I picked up the book, it took me to the Healing Houses. After a two day stint in hospice, watching my mother die, I wasn't ready to read about people magically surviving their ails. I gave myself an additional day or two before steeling myself, resolute. I was doing this thing, dangit. What started out as a bitter reminder of the happy ending I'd never get turned into a realization a realization of ROTK's true gift – hope. For the rest of the book, reminders of the value of hope would come up again and again. I saw it restored as Aragorn healed the sick and accepted his fate as king. My heart fluttered with it when Faramir and Eowyn gift each other the joy of reciprocal love. And when Gandalf and his squad ride to the Black Gate, what else is there but hope to see them through as they're surrounded by Sauron's army?
Leaving me to dangle on the outcome, I began Book 6 of the Trilogy in which I was finally allowed to delve into the final leg of Frodo and Sam's journey. They are haunted by Orcs, Gollum, and Sauron's ever-searching eye. Fueled by my grief, I thirsted and hungered with them as they made their slow and impossible journey to Mount Doom. Y'all, it was ROUGH. Against all odds they make it, and with a few sudden paragraphs, the journey is over. Gollum takes the Ring for a swim at the bottom of Mount Doom and we're left with two very fatigued and broken Hobbits. It all happened so quickly, I almost jumped. It wasn't a satisfactory ending, so I was curious and relieved to see we still had five more chapters despite the fact that the Ring was kaput. What made these chapters worth reading was our Samwise Gamgee, whose never-say-die spirit reminded me time and again of the running theme of Hope, something much needed as I continued to deal with Real Life.
In the final chapters, I was treated to pages of our company getting some much deserved rest and accolades. Gimli and Legolas set off on their Best Friends Tour, and at last we see our eager hobbits home. Sadly, not all was well in the Shire thanks to Saruman the Turdly. In what is absolutely my favorite chapter of the series, I shouted and swore as our big bad Hobbits use their newfound warrior skills to make the Shire safe once again for Hobbitkind everywhere. It was the satisfying ending I had been waiting for, and I'll never for the life of me understand why Peter Jackson left "The Scouring of the Shire" out of the movie. Seriously, Mr. Jackson, what's up with that? Finally, Frodo, realizing at last that you can't always go home again, leaves us for good. In a poignant and perfect ending Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin say their goodbyes, and everyone gets a happy ending.
And with that, I had finished what I had set out to do six months ago. And even though it was certainly not my favorite of the series, ROTK is the novel I will hold most dear. In every culture, stories of unlikely heroes succeeding against impossible odds exist. The Return of the King is one of those, and captures the essence of what is best about humanity – our infinite will to strive against true evil no matter how impossible the odds and our ability always hope. And always, always keep a Samwise

As of the end of May, our 148 lawmakers had managed to enact all of 40 laws, many of them inconsequential. Left undone so far are three of Republican Gov. Rick Snyder's top priorities: overhauling transportation funding, expanding Medicaid at federal expense for 400,000 state residents (although there's talk of a compromise coming soon), and joining most other states in adopting the national Common Core curriculum standards for K-12 schools.
Lawmakers did, however, pass two laws to allow license-plate sales to raise money for duck hunting and another law allowing bear petting.
Thanks to term limits — plus one political upset last November — the Lansing area's five state House members are all rookies. Between them so far:
• Only one non-controversial law was enacted, which gives judges more sentencing options for criminals who financially victimize seniors;
• A second non-controversial bill, which would provide an income-tax check-off for ALS research, awaits a final Senate vote before going to the governor; and
• Some behind-the-scenes negotiating to save state funding for a major local economic development project.
With 11 bills introduced, Lansing Democrat Andy Schor has been the most active local House member. His proposals include adding public libraries to weapons-free zones, increasing funding for K-12 schools and cracking down on fraudulent mortgage practices. Another Schor bill, providing major tuition tax credits for college students who work in Michigan after graduation, has drawn major bipartisan interest. Committee hearings have been held in the House, and a clone bill was introduced last week in the state Senate.
Schor and Mason Democrat Tom Cochran share frustration over the Republican majority's focus on tea party-backed ideology at the expense of their constituents.
"I don't think that all Republicans support this tea party agenda," Schor said. "In fact, only about half of them do. The other half, along with the Democrats, should form a working majority, but we don't. The few ultra-conservatives govern."
Cochran echoed Schor's frustration, stating that Medicaid expansion should have bipartisan backing. "It's not just Democrats that support the expansion. The Michigan Chamber of Commerce, the Small Business Association of Michigan, and even Governor Snyder want to see Medicaid expanded."
In contrast has been a bipartisan victory for East Lansing Democrat Sam Singh: restoring the state's matching funds for the $500 million Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at Michigan State University. Over a period of two months, Singh and MSU officials worked with House Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Earl Poleski, R-Jackson, to restore the state match. Most of the $500 million is coming from the federal government. Singh told East Lansing Rotary on Monday that Poleski went from skepticism over the spending to offering the floor amendment that restored full funding.
In those same remarks, Singh expressed some optimism that a compromise over Medicaid expansion could be passed before the summer recess, but said any progress on transportation funding would have to wait for the fall session.
Singh's seven bills include reversing the Snyder administration's cut in the earned income tax credit and accelerating Michigan's adoption of energy conservation strategies. He also has proposed allowing "Dream Act" residents — undocumented residents brought to the U.S. as small children — to obtain a driver's license. In the unlikely event the bill is debated, it would touch off heated rhetoric on immigration policy.
DeWitt Republican Tom Leonard is the only legislator to have a bill become law. His measure giving judges more sentencing options for criminals who financially victimize seniors passed the House 102-8 and received unanimous Senate support. Leonard called enactment of the law his "most satisfying moment" in the House. The former assistant Genesee County prosecutor has also introduced a bill allowing prosecuting attorneys to carry firearms into weapons-free zones.
Cochran's bill to provide an income-tax check-off for ALS research is on the verge of going to Snyder's desk. All that is needed is final Senate approval. Cochran's four other bills include parts of a Democratic caucus package on campaign finance reform, bills considered D.O.A. in the Republican-controlled House.
Grand Ledge Democrat Theresa Abed, who ousted Republican Rep. Deb Shaughnessy in one of last year's upsets, is chief sponsor of another Democratic-caucus bill that is D.O.A. but will play a role in next year's election: repeal of the highly unpopular pension tax. Abed's other bills include giving state purchasing preferences to Michigan-based companies, requiring extensive personal financial disclosures by public officials and expanding Michigan's anti-bullying law to include cyber-bullying.
The biggest surprise for the newbie legislators? Both Cochran and Leonard, who were elected with no previous experience in state government, said they were surprised by the work demands of the job with multiple constituent meetings and events eating up nights and weekends.

Correcting diabetic ketoacidosis
—DENNIS A. FITO, MD, Oklahoma City
It is always tempting to replenish phosphate in patients with DKA, especially if their phosphate is low. While this is not incorrect, it is likely unnecessary. Many inpatient pharmacies will take a longer time to provide potassium phosphate than they will potassium chloride. In addition, several studies have not found any benefit to replenishing phosphate as part of the acute management of DKA (Arch Intern Med. 1982;142:517-520 and J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 1983;57: 177-180). These studies show that phosphate replenishment does not shorten duration of DKA, affect insulin doses required, or reduce morbidity and mortality

"If that's art, I'm a Hottentot," declared President Harry S. Truman in 1947. The objects of his displeasure were a group of paintings about which Look magazine ran a spread under the watchdog headline "Your Money Bought These Pictures." The State Department had purchased the paintings for an exhibition that would travel overseas to proclaim by example that artistic creativity flourished best in America, under American capitalism. The paintings on trial–such as Yasuo Kuniyoshi's politely Expressionist Circus Girl–were hardly radical, even for the time. Cubism was four decades old and weirder-by-far Abstract Expressionism had already reared its drippy head in New York. But back then, as now, it didn't take much to rouse yahoo ire, even in the White House. The show was canceled. Nine years later, new paintings on Nebraska's statehouse walls by a veteran muralist who'd gone belatedly Modernist prompted a member of the public to say, "I feel that the mural in the Capitol is grotesque and ugly. Why don't we have a prairie scene such as Miss Dolan painted?" The woman's wistfulness was by no means an anomaly. According to a 1954 Gallup poll, 54 percent of Americans disliked modern art of any kind.
What did Americans want? In the 1930s, the influential Chicago organization Sanity in Art provided a wonderfully summary answer when it took a position in favor of "rationally beautiful" art. Although the group failed to specify the exact ingredients, what a Midwestern art professor once told me after a lecture I gave at his college seems about right: Americans want, first, signs of a special talent. Second is lots of evident labor; third comes nonabject materials. The fourth requisite is realism, followed by noble (or at least not ignoble) content. Nowadays, you might add to the list political correctness of one sort or another. (In 1999 a photo blowup of Robert E. Lee in a Confederate uniform was ordered removed from the roster of famous Americans on the Canal Walk in Richmond, Virginia, until it could be replaced by one of the general in civvies.) And hanging over everything is the presumption of the constitutional right of every American never, ever to be offended by anything. Ours is a cultural, as much as a political, democracy, where plebeian opinions about art ought to count–we think–just as much as those of any effete egghead aficionado with a whole bunch of degree initials after his name. We bristle at authority in matters of aesthetics, and we're willing to go to the mat about it. We, too, are wont to proclaim, "If that's art, then I'm a Hottentot."
In his thorough and readable new book Visual Shock, Michael Kammen–who occupies an endowed chair of history and culture at Cornell and who won a Pulitzer Prize for People of Paradox: An Inquiry Concerning the Origins of American Civilization–recounts a few hundred years' worth of such art controversies in America. He reviews dust-ups as recent as the deriding of Eric Fischl's 2002 bronze sculpture Tumbling Woman (a perhaps misguided attempt to memorialize those who fell or jumped from the burning World Trade Center towers) and as far back as Thomas Jefferson's 1786 put-down of a proposed statue of George Washington in a toga: "I think a modern in antique dress is just an object of ridicule."
Kammen handles these variegated brouhahas with welcome deftness; he squeezes in all the facts while maintaining a nice narrative flow. He's politely in favor of artistic free speech and moderately opposed to obstructionist populism; but Kammen is only as opinionated as he needs to be to keep the book from sinking into moribund evenhandedness.

Buried in this Construction Week article on new signage regulations, is the revelation that Abu Dhabi won't have a (non-mall) central shopping/entertainment district with neon billboards like New York's Times Square, London's Leicester Square or Tokyo's Shibuya district.
"New signage design guidelines indicate that no sign or portion of a sign may cover an integral architectural element of a structure, obstructs views into and out of business premises, or advertise third-party products," writes Gerhard Hope. "The intention here is plain, but again it raises the issue of regulation and enforcement."
Though I like Abu Dhabi's mishmash of signs — especially the neon ones along Hamdan and Electra Streets — the government should be commended for its continued push for standardisation, and keeping traffic and people moving.
The UPC also approved Broadway Malyan's masterplan for a 55,000-person neighbourhood on Yas Island, which had won the "Best Masterplan/Urban Design Project" at the Abu Dhabi Cityscape Awards 2011.
In Dubai, the RTA has awarded the Sufouh Tram project maintenance contract to France's Alstom Co and the Emirati-Belgian Cofely-Besix Co., and Emaar is set to add another 93,000 square meters to the Dubai Mall, reclaiming its spot as largest in the world.
Qatar is also looking at transportation projects, with construction on Doha's metro beginning in 2013, with Qatar Railways signing a USD 535 million contract for the Lusail light rail line. Darwish's Lagoona Mall, near Doha's The Pearl, opened.
Farther in the region, it's fascinating to read about the mixed bag of Soviet-era architecture of occupation in Afghanistan, from middle class housing blocks to schools, a bread factory and abandoned pool.

Our football match prediction:
This game is postponed.
Highlighted Team (West Ham United):
West Ham United are an English football club based in East London. The club was founded in 1895 and it has to be noted that the club's name was Thames Ironworks back then. The Hammers were playing their home games at Upton Park from 1904 until 2016, when they moved to the Stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. West Ham have won three FA Cup trophies (1964, 1975 and 1980) and they were runners-up in 1923 and 2006. The capital club finished the 1985/1986 England first division campaign in third place in the standings and that is the club's highest placing in the top flight. West Ham United have strong rivalries with fellow London clubs, but Tottenham Hotspur are considered the club's main rivals. A number of top-class players were part of West Ham in the past and the likes of Joe Cole, Carlos Tevez, Paolo Di Canio, Paul Ince, Julian Dicks, Shaka Hislop, Michael Carrick and Slaven Bilic are some of them.

Getting to know me hosted by
seeing how creative other people are! I love getting ideas from others! When I see something that someone created I am so inspired to create my own :)
2. what was the alst thing you bought yourself?
I have been so, so, so good about not buying myself things! {clothes, shoes and accessories wise anyway} The last thing I bought myself was a pair of shoes from Target {and it was the first thing I bought myself in almost 2 months! unless you count the running shoes I bought at the beginning of the month, but I don't because those are a necessity! and I'm definitely not counting classroom supplies/craft supplies! okay, maybe I'm not as good about saving money as I presumed...}
3. would you rather watch a movie in a theater or from the comfort of your own home?
I've always been a at home movie watcher type of person. I think it's because I can ask questions during the movie and only 1 person {as opposed to lots} can get mad at me!
4. household chore you don't mind doing?
I actually enjoy doing chores. I like washing dishes, doing the laundry, vacuuming and dusting. BUT I do not like taking out the trash!!
5. coffee or tea?
I'll drink a little of both ;)
6. what could you eat every day and not get sick of?
Fruit! I could literally eat 5 tangerines a day {and I have} and grapes, strawberries, bananas, mmmmm
7. what's the last book you read?
I read The Grand Finale by Janet Evanovich. It was really good! Then I tried reading What I Did for Love by Susan Phillips and I couldn't get past page 6. Looks like a trip to the Friends of the Library is needed!
8. do you think you look your age?
I think I do! But nobody else does. I'm turning 27 and everyone still thinks I'm maaaybe 20. At least sometimes I don't get carded when I buy wine at the grocery store! sometimes
Because it's Sunday, and I can!Sunday, March 27, 2011

Actor John Mahoney died Sunday, Feb. 4, 2018, in Chicago after a brief hospitalization. He was 77.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
Obituary tributes to famous people, particularly actors and musicians, are a roll of the dice. One man's cultural icon is another man's also-ran. But the exercise is worth the time for the examination of a simple, yet profound question: What makes people who are not famous relate, in a personal way, to famous people they have never met?
What makes an ordinary American grieve the loss of Prince, or Tom Petty, or Mary Tyler Moore?
Click here to view more Blade editorials | Check out the Behind The Editorial series
One answer is talent. While a great many Americans who are famous are famous only for being famous, the ones who endure, over time, and retain public affection even after they leave the stage, almost all possessed great talent, usually singular talent. Whether you are talking about Gene Kelly, or Leonard Bernstein, or Frank Sinatra, there is a sense, with the true icon in the arts, entertainment, or sports that we will not see his or her like again.
But a second, and in a way more interesting, answer is that some famous people, who are somehow or other beloved, touch a deep human chord — they connect with something fundamentally human within us. That would be true of Tyler Moore, for example. Or Jimmy Stewart. Or Mohamed Ali. And it would be true of John Mahoney, the actor who played Frasier's dad, Martin Crane, on the sitcom Frazier, for 11 years.
Mr. Mahoney died this week, at 77.
He was not the star of the show. A character actor, he played an almost caricatured character, as indeed all the principals of Frasier did. Marty was wisecracking, beer swigging, rather spoiled and all too quick to take offense and lose his temper.
Yet Mr. Mahoney's Marty Crane was somehow the heart of the show. And that is because Marty and Mr. Mahoney himself — the real person bleeds into the part in long-running TV shows — epitomized something: decency.
The wounded cop, who lived with his son with whom he had little in common, and who had boundless love for both his sons, led his life with zero bitterness and with boundless compassion. He was a mensch.
By all accounts so was John Mahoney. He was able to show his full acting range in a few films, and even more so in theater — his first and last love. After Frasier, he returned full-time to his beloved Chicago to do nothing but plays – one after the other. His artistic home was the Steppenwolf Theater, and even in his Hollywood days he returned to it regularly. But, after Hollywood, he mostly turned his back on film, stayed in Chicago, and did play upon play. And the size of the theater company didn't matter if he liked the play. His last was The Rembrandt, in November, 2017, in which he played a dying poet.
Not since the The Honeymooners has a working class guy been been so lionized, and humanized. And never as well. The fictional Martin Crane was a homage to the sort of salt of the earth man or woman most of us would feel honored to know even once in our lives. People loved him because he showed that character is, in the end, impossible to define but definitive; a big heart always trumps a clever mind; and love crosses all the chasms families and friends must face.

Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP) state honors were garnered by several schools at the 2018 State Finals at Rupp Arena in Lexington.
Maryville Elementary School's Kimberly Tabler took 21 students and participated in 11 events taking First Place in the NKU app for the Kindergarten through fifth grade division (Austin Wooden, Erik Taylor, Andrew Day, and Mark Arms).
The team of Mark Arms, Maddy O'Brien, Abby Murphy, Katrina Underwood and Beth Price also earned First Place in the UK Minds on Innovation for the K-5 division.
Students Neveah Chambers, Natalie Bennett, Riley Scrogham, Shyanne Baldwin, Hannah Werner and Beth Price earned Second Place in the KY Travel for the K-5 division.
Austin Wooden took Second Place in the Technology Quick Recall.
Nevaeh Chambers and Natalie Bennett captured Third Place in the Bench Challenge.
Other students that participated were Madison Montgomery, Kendall Barrett, Katie Piggott, Jayda Fiske, Max Bowman, Peggy Ann Lynch, Alex Simms, and Andruw Wooden.
The students were coached by Tabler and STEM Teacher Kacie Fiske who focused on robotics.
"They all worked very hard and were complimented throughout the day, even the ones that didn't place," Tabler said.
Twenty eight fifth grade STLP students represented Pleasant Grove Elementary School.
Brinley Mondun, Presley Madison and Olivia Strange coded robots to tell a story with different obstacles and scene changes and are State Champions in Sphero Hero!!!
Click here to watch a video of their performance: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12qUFjXj6KWgLQI9yuMewmoBHIPTVGuFa/view. "It was fun working together but it was rough at times but in the end it was worth it," Brinley said.
STLP Coordinator Alison Egan said students worked very hard on the script and had to code the robots to perform certain tasks and obstacles to tell the story.
"The project required three scene changes and the entire STLP group came to the rescue to help create a town out of cardboard boxes inspired by Mo Willems' book, Nanette's Baguette," she said. "Presley was the main script writer and coded Dash while Brinley coded Sphero and Olivia coded Dot. They would come down almost every day during recess to work on this project and their hard work definitely paid off."
Egan said students were devastated after their first run through in front of their peers when everything seemed to go wrong and the robot even died but it turned out for the best.
"It was a great learning experience for them having to work together and even fail then go back to the drawing board to determine what to do to make it better," she affirmed. "I was extremely proud of them and the entire STLP group."
The PGES broadcast team also competed in Cinemania, a 48-hour video competition that required them to use certain props, dialogue and characters to create a 3-minute video.
"They came up with a great story and really worked well together to get it done and did a fabulous job of acting," Egan said. "They also worked together on a Kentucky Travel campaign video that highlights our community."
Students Graicey Greenwell, Alaina Middleton, Paige Halbrook, Chase Meredith, Mikey West & Braydon Spalding checked out to local businesses to set up interviews and get information to help them showcase five features of our community that make it great.
"We are so fortunate to live in such a wonderful community," Egan said. The students presented the video and a presentation in front of a panel of judges. They stayed after to create a display and practice the script and felt really good about a job well done."

Chase Meredith represented PGES in Photography on Demand and captured a great picture with the theme 'Believe.'
"He is such a fantastic photographer and I had no doubt he would excel in this category," Egan said. "We are so proud of all of our STLP students!!!"
Here is a list of PGES students and staff who went to state competition: Ethan Farley, London Foster, Alison Egan, Graicey Greenwell, Reagan Logsdon, Sarah Hammond, Hunter Oliver, Jordan Brown, Lillian Hale, Paige Halbrook, Presely Madison, Luci Krueger, Mrs. Bibee (Teacher), Ryan Rayhill, Brinley Mondun, Olivia Strange, Michael West, Audrey Stepp, Alaina Middleton, Trenton Bibee, Kennedy Smith, Cooper Bass, Braydon Spalding, Chase Meredith, Aubrey Packer, Lucas Rice, Lilly Potter, Courtney Bass, Gracie Boone and Hunter Hall.

Sam Johnson is a farmer with a healthy disdain for conventions. One evening, while his wife is away, Sam sets out to mend a tear in the pigpen awning. ''At first, just running the needle in and out of the fabric was hard work, but as the evening wore on, Sam became more expert. Soon he was having a fine time choosing patches of different shapes and colors.''
Sam's enthusiasm for his new craft leads him to join his wife's quilting club. To his surprise, his overture is rebuffed by the ladies. Sewing, it seems, is women's work. Undaunted, Sam rounds up the men of the county to form their own quilting club. Both clubs set to work to outdo one another, sewing quilts for the county fair contest.
Lisa Campbell Ernst, an experienced quilter with a university degree in design, has packed the pages of this four-color picture book with verve, perky characters, and cozy, turn-of-the-century detail. The pictures are enclosed in decorative borders that use authentic quilt patterns as their motifs. The story, although contrived, brings men and women to a happy, united conclusion, in one quilt and one quilting club for all.

Hi, my name is Toni. I live in Michigan and I'm planning a destination wedding in Las Vegas on July 7, 2015. Any suggestions, would be helpful. I have 50 guest.
Congratulations on your engagement and welcome to the Bee!
Thank you, Robyn0214
Congrats! I don't have any suggestions as I recently got engaged myself, but welcome to the bee!
commenting to follow as we are also thinking about doing something like this. Congrats!
Thank you Ladies!
leisha606: Yes, our budget is $5000. We would like something inside…looking at the Viva Las Vegas main chapel for a traditional wedding. It will hold 50 people. For dinner, we're thinking about getting a private room at Bahama Breeze.
There are an overwhelming of ceremony locations and even more reception locations so that is great you have some ideas. below is a website that lists a lot of vegas venues in one spot. Most you can google and find out prices if it is not listed. I think it will help you really narrow it down since you are looking into a traditional chapel vs. alternative locations. Although, basically every hotel has a chapel! haha
If you are open to alternative locations i would suggest Sams town. It is really great and very cost friendly for ceremonys. and soooo pretty. It is inside but has an outside feel with waterfalls.
I would really suggest looking around for great deals, even going to each individual website for locations because some have really great deals or freebies like nights at a hotel or dinner!
leisha606: Thank you so much!
The topic 'Engaged!' is closed to new replies.

Get started looking for fantastic deals that include an Apple TV box with TigerMobiles.com. If you're looking for a way to access all the information on your home network and stream it to your TV there's no easier solution than the Apple TV box. Intuitive, simple to use and amazingly fast and reliable, this is the ultimate gadget for home networking. Just take a look at our awesome bargains below.
How would it feel to access the data that you have stored on your smartphone, or your computer, or your tablet, or stored in the cloud, or in your iTunes account and play it back through your TV? Or to access a streaming service like Netflix and be able to watch on the big screen TV in the living room? That's exactly what an Apple TV box has to offer you. Your music, videos and pictures can all hop over to your television with the click of a button.
Why should you be getting excited about an Apple TV box? Because you'll be able to get everything you need onto the large screen of your television simply and easily. Want to watch the newest episode of your favourite TV programme? Stream it. Want to view your holiday pictures? Send them through the box.
The Apple TV box makes home networking so simple that a child can do it, and there aren't too many high tech gadgets that can boast that.
For such an unassuming little box, the Apple TV box is a powerhouse of a gadget. Legendary Apple design mean that the box is curved, elegant and simple, glassy plastic is smooth to the touch, and your box will sit comfortably by your TV looking like it had always been there.
Set the box up though (which takes approximately ten seconds, really) and you'll be amazed at the power you now hold. Whatever you want to see on your TV screen, the latest films, your pictures, even your music collection, can now be streamed from your other Apple electronics straight through to the TV with the press of a button.
Apple products are always well designed, intuitive and reliable, and this TV box is no different. Fast streaming, HD support and simple use all combine to make this the ultimate home gadget. It's tough to remember what you ever did without one.
One of the best features of the Apple TV box is just how easy it is to use. To prove that, let's just walk you through the set up process. Open the box, plug in the power cord, connect the Apple TV box to your TV with an HDMI cord and you're ready to go. That's it. Even better, simply hold up your iPhone or iPad to the box and it will automatically detect all of your home network settings and your iTunes account settings, so there's no data entry at all.
From then on, whenever you're in range of the box with your phone, tablet, or computer, all you need to do is click the Airplay button on your device and the box will detect the signal and play whatever's on your device through the TV screen. It's really that simple.
High tech doesn't have to mean complicated processes and steep learning curves, and Apple once again prove that they're the masters of intuitive technology. It's going to be difficult to find a gadget that's easier to use than this.
You've got a couple of different sharing options with the Apple TV box. The first of these is known as Airplay. This simply takes what's on your device (i.e. your iPhone, iPad or Mac computer) and streams it through the box onto your TV screen and through the connected TV speakers. This includes your videos, music and your photos. All you need to do is press the Airplay button on your device.
Airplay will also allow you to mirror the screen of your device onto your TV. Why would you want to do this? What about for big screen game play? You can open an app on your phone or a game on your laptop and see it on your large home television screen, making for better and more exciting gaming.
Alternatively, the Apple TV box also has access to the Cloud. The Cloud is Apple's online storage facility. Download your files to the Cloud (many Apple devices automatically back up to the Cloud anyway) and you'll be able to access them again through your TV box.
Finally, using My Photo Stream all of your most recently taken pics and videos are automatically sent to your Apple TV box, and using iMovie Theater all of your iMovie projects are also sent automatically. That means instant viewing of all your pictures and videos.
When it comes to sharing information there's no easier way to do it than through your Apple TV box. It's simple, fast and high quality too, since Apple TV supports 1080p High Definition video.
As if all that sharing of data weren't enough, there's another use for your Apple TV box. You don't only need to access the data that you already have, you can stream new films and television programming online and then through the box to your TV set.
This might mean getting the latest film through iTunes and then playing it on the big screen. Or maybe you prefer purchasing through Netflix, which isn't a problem since the Apple TV box supports both.
Other channels? Sure, no problem. Sky News of Sky Sports, for example. Or maybe the latest news through Bloomberg? You can even get the latest in viral videos through Youtube if you'd like.
Streaming through the Apple TV box is fast and smooth, even faster and smoother than using your computer, so you don't need to worry about lag. With so many viewing options, you might not even have time to leave the house!

The Apple TV box is the perfect gadget not only for sharing all of your existing data, but also for streaming new data into your home. Easy set up and simple use make Apple TV a dream for those less technically inclined, and being able to see your videos and photos on the big screen is truly amazing- and don't forget that mirrored screen game play either.
Do we have any reservations about the Apple TV box? Maybe just one. There currently aren't that many streaming services offered in the UK, other than Netflix, but more services have been announced and should be coming online soon. Other than that small detail, we think the Apple TV box is a must have for any one who owns other Apple products.

It can not be denied that the lack of a language environment is the biggest drawback to English learners in China. Fortunately, the appearance of CCtalk successfully and efficiently solve the problem. CCtalk is an online stage for English lovers where they can communicate with each other not only by typing the messages, but also using their real voices. I have been learning English through CCtalk for nearly two months. Honestly speaking, I have made great progress with the help of CCtalk. In a word, I love it more than I can say.
First, there are a variety of colorful and interesting lectures by many enthusiastic and knowledgeable teachers. Attending their lectures is one of the reasons why I have made great improvement in my English. On one hand, they help us students with vocabulary, listening comprehension, oral practice and so on. On the other hand, they introduce much valuable advice to us, which proves to be of great significance.
Second, participating actively in activities is the key to arousing my learning desire and enthusiasm. As we know, interest is the best teacher. As I open my mouth and speak out in public, my confidence has been greatly increased. But for these listening and speaking activities, how could I get rid of my previous sense of inferiority?
Last but not least, I have made many friends here who also enjoy learning English. Since they come from different parts ofChina, to be more exact, from different parts of the world, I have gained a better understanding of various geographic feathers, history, culture and customs by talking with them. I am afraid nowhere else but on CCtalk can I make so many friends and improve my English simultaneously.
Many thanks to our supervisor Lyn for his trust, I am appointed as a presenter here, which doubles my love for CCtalk. From today on, I will ask not only what CCtalk can do for me, but also ask what I can do for CCtalk. I have a dream that we will be able to establish a successful win-win bilateral relations. I am sure that with the joint efforts of you ,them and us, CCtalk of the users, by the users, and for the users will definitely have a prosperous and splendid future.
CCtalk, 学习英语的好帮手
不可否认缺少语言环境是中国英语学习者遇到的最大障碍。幸运地是,CCtalk的出现成功有效地解决了这一问题。CCtalk 是一个为英语爱好者而打造的平台,人们在这个平台上不但可以打字而且还可以通过语音进行交流。我在CCtalk上学习将近两个月了。实实在在地说,在CCtalk的帮助下,我在英语方面取得了很大的进步。总之,我特别喜爱CCtalk。
非常感谢总管Lyn对我的信任,我在这里被任命为一名主持,此事让我对CCtalk倍加喜爱。从今天起,我不但会问CCtalk能为我带来什么,我更会问我能为CCtalk做出什么。我有一个梦,那就是我和CCtalk能建立起成功的双赢的双边关系。我坚信:在大家的共同努力下,民有、民治、民享的CCtalk 必定会迎来繁荣灿烂的明天。

Hitting drills are very important for young players and one of the best hitting drills that a coach can utilize teach plate discipline. It is very important that a hitter learns to have an approach at the plate, rather than simply swinging away at every pitch, so this drill is vital to the hitter's overall makeup.
This drill starts with the screen close enough to the plate that the batting coach pitcher can have excellent control. Each hitter then gets up to ten pitches, although only three strikes will be permitted. Before the hitter steps up to the plate, he or she will be told how many strikes he or she currently has, as this will directly influence how the hitter handles the pitches.
If the hitter is stepping up to the plate with a fresh count, he or she will begin by showing the pitching coach where he or she likes the ball. If the pitch is in the hitter's hitting zone and he or she takes a swing, the pitch count is reduced by one. If the pitch is outside of this hitting zone, but the player still swings, the hitter not only loses that pitch, but one additional pitch. If the pitch is outside of this hitting zone and the player does not swing, the pitch does not count at all. If the pitch is outside of the strike zone altogether and the player swings, however, he or she will lose half of his or her swings remaining.
If there is one strike, the penalty for swinging at a pitch outside the strike zone is less strict, as the player will only lose that pitch plus one more. This is because when there is one strike, pitchers will tend to come after the hitter a little more, which makes these pitches a little harder to lay off.
Finally, when there are two strikes, the hitter's goal is to be as tough an out as possible. If the player swings at a pitch that is in the strike zone, he or she only loses that pitch plus one more. If a pitch that is around the strike zone is taken, it is an additional pitch penalty because umpires tend to call borderline pitches strikes when there are already two strikes. If an obvious strike is taken, that player is done completely because it is never a good idea to take a third strike.
The goal of each hitter turning this drill is to make sure that he or she gets through all ten pitches without striking out. Also make sure that your players know that each strike that you call will be a judgment call, which is exactly how an umpire will make the call. By teaching your players to have an approach at the plate based on the strike count, you can turn them into smarter hitters. You will also be giving them a better idea of where the strike zone is, so they will know which pitches to take and when to take a cut.

Installing SSZipArchive in an older project
I'm sure this is all irrelevant if you use cocoapods, but I don't (yet). My approach to installing SSZipArchive was to add it as a git submodule and drag the folder including SSZipArchive.h and minizip into my project, adding it by reference. This caused RestKit compilation to barf, mostly a lot of parse issues in RKURL.h like
Expected identifier or '(', which is ridiculous b/c nothing changed in RestKit.
I eventually found my solution at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9398409/adding-minizip-breaks-objective-c/18153812#18153812: change the file type of the minizip .c files to "Objective-C Source."
Now my project builds and everything works normally. Why this solution works is beyond my extremely limited knowledge of C and Xcode. These files look like C and/or C++, so why does telling Xcode to treat them like Objective-C even work?

Psychiatrist: Rakowitz excited recalling grisly stew
By Tien-Shun Lee
Daniel Rakowitz, a former East Village man who admitted to meticulously cleaning off the bones of his ex-girlfriend after she was killed and chopped up, bragged about his infamous acts while locked inside a maximum-security hospital, a psychiatric expert testified last week.
Rakowitzs body language while talking about his grisly past showed that he was excited, rather than remorseful about processing the remains of his murdered ex-girlfriend, said Dr. Jason Hershberger, director of psychiatry at Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Center, the maximum-security hospital on Wards Island where Rakowitz is currently living.
He would smile, he would speak in an excited tone, said Hershberger. You would expect an affect of regret, sadness, remorse, guilt, disgust.
Hershbergers comments came as he was questioned last Friday in State Supreme Court at 111 Centre St. where Rakowitz is undergoing a sanity trial before Justice Donna Mills in hopes of being moved to a less-secure facility.
Rakowitz, 43, was acquitted of murder by reason of insanity after he confessed to cleaning the bones of his ex-girlfriend, Monika Beerle, in August 1989. Beerles flesh was boiled off her bones in Rakowitzs kitchen, in a pot on top of his stove.
Originally from Texas, Rakowitz was known in the 1980s for walking around the East Village with a chicken under his arm. When Beerle was murdered around Aug. 19, 1989, Rakowitz was living on the second floor of a building on the corner of Ninth St. and Avenue C.
During the trial, Rakowitz has sat in court, not speaking, generally motionless. His dark brown hair is in a long ponytail and he has a goatee. He wears casual, non-prison clothes, favoring button-down patterned shirts. One of the few times he has moved noticeably he shifted in his seat and tilted his head was when Hershberger brought in as an exhibit a box of Rakowitzs confiscated books, including The Anarchists Cookbook and How to Pick Locks. Hershberger took the books from the box one by one and read their titles aloud.
Rakowitzs lawyer, Donald Graham, said on Monday during a lunch break at court that during Rakowitzs first trial in 1991, a homeless man testified he found a finger in a soup that Rakowitz served to a group in Tompkins Sq. Park. The finger was thought to belong to Beerle.
Graham said Rakowitz may take the stand this Thursday.
According to both Graham and Assistant District Attorney Gary Galperin, Rakowitz has never admitted to murdering Beerle, a Swiss dancer who is said to have used drugs and to have performed in a former exotic dancing club on Sixth Ave. at 24th St. called Billys Topless.
Clayton Patterson, a Lower East Side documentarian who has photographed and filmed the Lower East Side for the past 20 years, said there were other people living in Rakowitzs apartment at the time of the murder.
Were there other people involved [in the murder]? Yes, he said.
Patterson questioned why it took several weeks before police arrested their first suspect for Beerles murder. He said Rakowitz lived with roommates, and that a number of people had seen Beerles dead body in Rakowitzs bathtub and Beerles chopped-up remains boiling on Rakowitzs stove before Beerle was officially reported dead, with only bones as her remains.
People were going to the police. Even the reporter for the Village Voice, Sarah Ferguson, went to the police, said Patterson. The newspaper The Spirit had a picture of a wad of hair in [Rakowitzs] stove. Why is it that you have these people complaining about [Beerles dead body] and it takes a month to pick up the first suspect? And why werent all the other people brought in and videotaped?
In court on Monday, A.D.A. Galperin said Rakowitz once told him that he had forged a deal with some bad elements, and part of the deal was that he would agree to confess to the murder. During a later account, Rakowitz backed off the deal element of his story, Galperin said.
In another account of his story, Rakowitz said he had actively tried to prevent Beerles murder, rather than standing by passively.
I want to know what happened, said Patterson. We have a right to know who murdered her and who chopped her up.
Patterson said he believes Kirby is the right place for Rakowitz. He has visited Rakowitz at Kirby during Christmas season every year for the past 13 years.
I think Kirby is a very nice place. I think its safe, its clean, its neat, said Patterson. [Rakowitz] is not stressed out. Hes well fed. Hes not paranoid.
In 1995 Rakowitz underwent a sanity trial but jurors didnt believe he was a changed and sane man as a result of having quit smoking marijuana.
The current trial is the second to determine whether or not Rakowitz is sane enough to be transferred to a less-secure psychiatric hospital, such as Manhattan Psychiatric Center, which is located next to Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Center.
This is a trial about his current mental condition and whether he is currently dangerous, said Graham.
Justice Mills recently made headlines herself over a drunken-driving incident in which she was abusive to the arresting officers. But she has been generally quiet on the bench during Rakowitzs trial.

Researchers in various industries may be focusing on alternative ways to harness energy in an efficient and environmentally conscious manner, but some arenas still remain untouched like pedestrian power; that is, until the PediPower Shoes were developed. It is a specially designed footwear that harnesses the kinetic energy generated while people walk.
Created by a group of students at Rice University who have dubbed themselves The Agitation Squad, Carlos Armada, Julian Castro, David Morilla and Tyler Wiest, the PediPower Shoes was a collaborative effort with Motion Analysis Laboratory at Shriners Hospital for Children in Houston, Texas. Focusing mainly on the heel, since majority of people walk heel to toe, the PediPower Shoes can deliver an average of 400 milliwatts, which is enough to power a small device.

Expect James Bond 24 to adhere to the sort of exploration of 007's emotional character that Skyfall embraced.
Skyfall screenwriter John Logan wouldn't divulge plot details about the next Bond movie he's writing, but he did tell The Financial Times the sequel will once again lean on Bond creator Ian Fleming's more human interpretation of the character.
"Fleming's courage in showing Bond's fear and vulnerability and depression was really interesting and something that a modern audience can accept," said Logan. "I think Skyfall demonstrated that they want more layers to that character. And those are the layers that Fleming wrote."
Logan is reuniting with Skyfall cast members Judi Dench and Ben Whishaw for his new play Peter and Alice, which opens this month in London's West End. The play chronicles a real-life meeting between Alice Liddell Hargreaves and Peter Llewellyn Davies, the respective inspirations for Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan.

Mamata claims real 'paribartan' in Bengal
Contesting Opposition parties' claim that no real 'paribartan' (change) had taken place in West Bengal after the new government took over, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee yesterday claimed things became better in the last two years.india Updated: Jun 25, 2013 09:45 IST
Contesting Opposition parties' claim that no real 'paribartan' (change) had taken place in West Bengal after the new government took over, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday claimed things became better in the last two years.
Buttressing her contention with examples, she said after the TMC came to power, the state has emerged number one in the "100 days work programme" and peace has returned to Jangalmahal and Darjeeling hills.
"We have created an employment bank, devised schemes for women as well as set up mass housing projects for the poor. Some are saying that no paribartan has taken place in Bengal in the last two years. What is paribartan according to them? Are not these change," she wondered at a panchayat poll meeting in Bengal on Monday.
Coming down heavily on CPI(M), Banerjee said that the party was trying to disturb the peaceful situation in the state.
CPI(M), with the help of BJP, Congress and Maoists had come together to disturb the state, she said, adding "they would be thwarted by all means".
She also described as 'lies' CPI-M's allegation that several incidents had taken place during filing of nominations for the panchayat polls.
"These are all lies. During this time, a record number of 1.69 lakh nominations across various political parties have filed their nominations," she said.
According to Banerjee, her government had not even spared her party sympathisers when they were found guilty.
"In the Garden Reach case, we have arrested Md Iqbal, another one in the Tangra incident. Did the CPI(M) act when their cadres were involved in crimes," she asked.
Referring to the Saradha deposit scam, she said the government had acted swiftly in booking the culprits.
Banerjee claimed she was confident of emerging victorious in the polls.
"People's power will lead us to victory. I am determined to turn around Bengal's fortunes to make it the number one state," she said.
"If required, we can run Delhi, as we know how to run a government. Bengal will show the path to Delhi," she said.
