Bastia's Brandao banned six months for head-butting PSG's Thiago Motta
Bastia striker Brandao was banned for six months by the French league on Thursday for head-butting Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Thiago Motta after a league match last month.
Provisionally suspended since Aug. 22, Brandao was banned to Feb. 22 after a league disciplinary hearing.
The 34-year-old Brazilian waited in the dressing room corridor for 20 minutes after being substituted, and as the players came off he walked over to Motta and butted him in the face before running away.
Motta's nose was broken in the incident, and PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi called for Brandao to be banned for life.
Brandao, a burly striker who had spells with Saint-Etienne and Marseille before joining the Corsican club, was accompanied by his lawyer at the LFP hearing.
He won the French league and two League Cups with Marseille from 2009-12.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – ArtPrize 2013's jurors, charged with awarding $100,000 in prize money, agreed they were looking for art that surprised them.
Their surprises were revealed Monday night when jurors each unveiled their five finalists for one of ArtPrize 2013's five Juried Awards.
A total of 19 artists and five venues are in the running for one of five medium-based $20,000 awards: best two-dimensional work, best three-dimensional work, best time-based work, best use of urban space and best venue. The finalists were unveiled at ArtPrize's HUB headquarters.
Five jurors — John Yau, Hesse McGraw, Rashida Bumbray, Eva Franch I Gilabert, and Alice Gray Stites – each will award one $20,000 prize in the fifth annual contest.

But the five were in agreement they were looking for art that caught them off guard or threw them off balance while exploring the 1,524 entries and 169 venues in ArtPrize 2013.

"I want to have my brain broken a little bit," said McGraw, vice president for exhibitions and public programs at the San Francisco Art Institute, who is juror for Best Three-Dimensional Work.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the night is one of the finalists for Best Venue turned out to be Auto Fixit Body Shop with a single installation, "Amore mio...ti manco?" by artist Joe Girandola of Cincinnati, Ohio, constructed of duct tape and UV resin.
"I didn't see that one right away," admitted Yau, editor of Hyperallergic Weekend, the juror for Best Two-Dimensional Work.
"This morning, I knew I had to go see the Auto Fixit shop," added Gilabert, executive director and curator of the Storefront for Art and Architecture and the juror for Best Use of Urban Space.
Neither Yau nor Gilabert, however, were the juror for Best Venue.
Stites, an independent curator and director of art programming for 21cMuseum, selected Auto Fixit Body Shop and Craft House for her five finalists along with Grand Rapids Art Museum and Kendall College of Art and Design and SiTE:LAB, a two-time past winner of ArtPrize's Best Venue Award.
Stites, who said she visited all 169 venues in ArtPrize 2013, commended the Grand Rapids Art Museum for its show with work from well-known and emerging artists.
"SiTE:LAB is amazing," Stites said.
One entry, "Facing Al Aqaba," by Maurice Jacobsen, from Al Aqaba in Palestine, was nominated in two categories, Best Time-Based Entry and Best Use of Urban Space.
Bumbray, the juror for Best Time-Based Entry, described the installation in Ah-Nab-Awen Park as a beautiful space for an installation about Palestinian refugees who are living as outcasts, while Gilabert, the juror for Best Use of Urban Space, drew attention to the Native American heritage of the site.
"There's something about the memory of the site that tries to re-represent the experience of the burial ground for Native Americans," Gilabert said.
The 19 finalists include two foreign-born artists, six from either New York City or Brooklyn, two from Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minn., and one each from Bloomington, Ind., and Chattanooga, Tenn.
Seven are from Michigan – four from the Grand Rapids area, two from the Detroit area and one from East Lansing.
Yau summarized his five choices as work that had to look "unfamiliar in an interesting way."
"I want them to look at it and be surprised," he said, speaking of viewers' reactions. "If they're surprised, they walk out the door wondering why they were surprised. That's the start."
McGraw, who said he found several of his finalists to be seductive or sublime, expressed praise for ArtPrize as event with an open-minded audience that "just wants to have a great day and a good experience."
"ArtPrize is the least critical audience they'll ever have in the life," he said.

The Florida summer is in full force. Thunder storms are a daily threat. A lot of my friends, human and canine, hate this time of year. My buddy, Trooper, gets so upset he goes into panic mode. Even his "thunder vest" only reduces his terror. The humans that belong to Trooper do their best to comfort him. They even leave the TV on when they leave him at home so in case it storms the sound will comfort him.
I understand the need for all the rain. Without rain, it wouldn't be long before I'd run out of grass to do business on. Since I live indoors 90% of the time, the rain doesn't impact my days as much as many of my buddies who normally spend at least half of their time outside. They get "Dog-house fever" and become grumpy, lethargic, and depressed. The thing that bothers me most is that the Geezer doesn't take the boat out in this weather. I love riding in the boat's bow even more than riding in the car. The salt air and wind whipping around my body feels SO good. Makes me feel like Kate Winslet, though the Geezer's craft is a wee bit smaller than the Titanic. Then there's all the smells, birds to watch, porpoise to bark at, and fish fillets that the Geezer cooks for me after we return. I get the jacks, bluefish and other species the Geezer's missus doesn't care for.
I know. When it doesn't rain, it creates a lot of problems for humans. They moan and complain, but don't do much about it. The humans in California are desperate for water. They pass laws. I wonder how much rain those laws produce? I haven't heard of any yet. That's not completely fair, conserving is a good thing. If they'd use a little old-fashioned dog-sense they could solve several problems at one time. Why don't humans collect all the excess water that accumulates in one area and move it to another? There are huge floods that people don't want. Why not build huge reservoirs, let flood waters accumulate there and pipe it to areas that need it? I mentioned this to the Geezer and he said he wasn't sure it would be "cost effective."
Hmmmm, besides being able to charge for the water, I asked him about the cost savings from mitigating the flood damage, the fact that electricity could be generated, the fact the lakes created would act as tourist attractions. Pipes and pumps. Why not? They do it with oil and it requires a lot more cost and effort to get out of the ground. After all, aren't those same people spending money to accommodate additional people when they don't have enough water for those folks living there already? He grinned. The poor Geezer. He suffers from that universal human failing – lack of vision.

A co-defendant charged in a 4-year-old double homicide pleaded guilty to two counts of capital murder Monday in Faulkner County Circuit Court under Judge Charles Clawson.
Troy Allen Crook, 33, was one of two men accused in the August 2008 assault and murder of two cousins, Lonnie Brock, 62, and Bobby Brock, 45, at their home on Brown Road near Vilonia.
Ronald Dean Charles, 35, of Cabot pleaded guilty last year to two counts of capital murder and was sentenced to life in prison without the chance of being paroled for his role in the shooting deaths.
The murdered cousins were discovered by family members, who found one body inside of the home and the other in the yard.
Charles told the court last year that he and Crook had been high on crack cocaine and planned to rob the Brock cousins of a gun they believed to have been in their possession. Charles explained that selling the gun would allow Crook and himself to purchase more cocaine. However, when the events of the crime escalated, the suspects assaulted the cousins and eventually shot them.
Crook was sentenced to 100 years in prison. He will not be eligible for parole until he is 103 years old.

Cigar Review | La Palina Family Series Miami Pasha
It's been six years since the revival of La Palina, and six years since the inception of the Family Series.
Graycliff Cigar Company produced the original Family Series, out of the historic Graycliff Inn in Nassau, The Bahamas—though production stopped several years ago, largely due to the high taxes incurred from importing tobacco into The Bahamas.
While the company's arrangement with Graycliff came to a close, it had begun developing a relationship with yet another prolific boutique cigar factory—El Titan de Bronze, who is producing the re-blended line in Little Havana, Miami. Click here to continue reading.

Did the FBI's customary secrecy and turf-consciousness cause innocent people to die of bioterror? In October, when the first anthrax-laden envelopes were received, the FBI froze the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention out of the high-profile investigation, according to CDC officials. That meant half the country's experts on bio-attacks and the only scientists with a special interest in public health were kept out of the loop. Then, to make matters worse, the CDC spread faulty information it had received secondhand. This all resulted in a fumbled response that put postal and media workers at serious risk. Consider: The US safety net against bioterror was porous because of a turf battle initiated by FBI autocrats–and five people died.
The main problem was that the CDC, the government agency charged with protecting the public from disease, was never permitted to see or examine the anthrax letters mailed to NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw, the New York Post and Senator Tom Daschle. Without direct access to these deadly envelopes, the CDC experts could not accurately assess a vitally important matter–the danger the letters posed to those beyond the people who opened the mail.
On October 12 Brokaw turned over an anthrax letter, postmarked in Trenton, New Jersey, to the FBI. The CDC never examined it. Dr. Mitchell Cohen, the CDC's director of bacterial diseases and liaison to the FBI for anthrax issues, says he saw only photographs of it. On the basis of media accounts and conference calls with the FBI–not direct examination of the evidence–the CDC determined that the Brokaw letter was "only risky to those who opened it." By October 18, though, several New Jersey postal workers had suspicious skin sores, and Teresa Heller, a West Trenton letter carrier, and Richard Morgano, a Hamilton postal worker, had confirmed cases of skin anthrax. New Jersey's Hamilton postal distribution center–which had processed the Brokaw letter–was closed as a result of these cases, and hundreds of workers there were given precautionary antibiotics. Had the FBI allowed the CDC to examine the Brokaw letter on October 12, the CDC would have been in a better position to make judgments and predictions that could have led to an earlier closing of the Hamilton facility. The CDC might well have learned that this anthrax could spread beyond its envelope. Unfortunately, the FBI did not perform tests for leakage on the Brokaw letter.
A comparable series of events occurred after Senator Daschle's office received an anthrax letter on October 15; it had been handled by the Brentwood postal facility in Washington. Again, the CDC was not invited to examine the letter, and its doctors were unable to observe just how easily the anthrax it contained could become airborne and spread. Nor could they run a test checking for cross-contamination by putting this envelope with other uncontaminated envelopes in a mail sorter.
The FBI did have the anthrax letters tested at the laboratory of the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases in Fort Detrick, Maryland. But according to a letter sent by CDC director Dr. Jeffrey Koplan to Senator Chuck Grassley, who is investigating the bioterror crisis, "no CDC staff went to the Army labs to observe the tests." The FBI informed the CDC of its test results regarding the Daschle letter, telling the CDC via conference calls, for instance, that the letter was "well sealed," Koplan says. But for a scientist, being told of a result is not the same thing as being there. How was the CDC supposed to issue accurate directives if its doctors and lab specialists were kept away from criminal evidence loaded with contagion?

Thank you for this space. A little introduction about myself, my name is Gisela, I live in London, I've a bachelor's in computer science, my master's in computer science and currently I work as a full time python developer here in London.
The reason why I'm writing… 8 months ago I joined as a volunteer for a coder dojo in West London, teaching python, and this is run once a month. When I joined I immediately noticed how few girls the where, only 2 of a group of 20-30. Also all the python mentors where men, except for myself. I also noticed that the girls weren't getting as much attention because they maybe weren't so vocal asking for it.
After a session or two I decided to start a girls table, where I'm the mentor, to try to create an environment were they could feel welcomed and encouraged. The kids didn't have much material so I started to prepare tailored material every month to adapt to the different levels and ages. The number of girls started to steadily grow. Now in a bad day we have 4 and in a good day 7-8. I know 4-7 in a group of 30 is still bad but I think we are doing some progress from where we started 8 sessions ago.
Nevertheless some mentors from the other groups within the dojo have voiced their concerns about the python girl's table. One woman told me in the last session with a horrified face that I was segregating them, and yesterday another mentor (also father to one of the girls in my group) send a message to our mentors' group saying unfair comments and saying the group was "worrying to say the least". I'm doing my best to tackle a problem everyone was plainly ignoring when I joined and I find all this deeply discouraging and a quite infuriating to be honest. I feel like there is also an message of "they can't be advanced if they are in a girl's table" and "if they are advanced they should be with a man mentor". Also I'm only receiving critics, no one has help with material or proposed alternatives.
Should I give up? Should I join a girl's only dojo? I would appreciate some opinions and if there is any encouragement available that would come in handy as well.
Thank you all,
Hi @Gisela-Rossi Thanks for getting in touch & for sharing your experience in proactively trying to encourage more girls into your Dojo. It's saddening to hear that you are finding it so challenging and that there is push back.
Earlier this year, centrally at the CoderDojo Foundation we launched a CoderDojo Girls initiative. The ultimate goal is to achieve a greater gender balance within the CoderDojo community globally (globally it stands at 29%). There are a few purposes to this, firstly to start a conversation around what we can do to attract and retain more girls into the movement, document and share best practices that are working for Dojos and to highlight role models in the movement that are making efforts to increase girls attending Dojos.
You may be glad to hear that one identified best practice is starting a girls table within a Dojo, where there are a female mentor to assist with new girls. It has worked successfully in increasing the overall % of girls within some Dojos. One interesting statistic is that every year when we run the global CoderDojo annual survey, the number of female mentors directly correlates with the number of female attendees, therefore the importance of role models and women like you within the movement cannot be underestimated.
So far we have developed and launched two girls guide, one targeting parents and one targeting ninjas. Over the Summer we are developing a third guide targeting mentors and volunteers which will tackle the exact subject you are facing, it will include research on why its important to make these special efforts to reach young girls, point to sample content, best practices, top tips and also include some case studies. Our aim is that it is a practical guide for volunteers. So this year we've developed two Sushi series through a lense of diversity, app inventor and wearables. We've had very positive feedback from girls and boys in Dojos on these.
To answer your question, I would encourage you to persevere. Clearly, the steps you are taking are having an impact. If you can tie back your actions to the overarching CoderDojo Girls initiative and explain why this is important.
I would love to get your input on what you would like to see in the volunteer guide? Also if you have any feedback on the parent's guide that you think would be useful to include which can be shared with parents in your Dojo please share. In addition, it would be great if you could share the content that you have been developing, we would love to include this on Kata and point to it in the guide?
Thank you for everything you are doing to reach young girls
@Gisela-Rossi Hi Gise, first of all well done for deciding to tackle this very common problem and also for succeeding in bringing the number of girls up in your Dojo!
The concerns about segregation of boys and girls are understandable, and I don't I would recommend to running a regular exclusively girl's Dojo. However I have seen other people on the forums make similar observations to yourself, that the girls are often quieter or shy compared to the boys, so if creating a space for them where they feel comfortable helps them come out of their shells and get more out of the Dojo then that's great. And from what you've said it was working.
Of course it is disheartening that your efforts have been met with negativity and I feel your frustration, but the fact that people are now voicing concerns means you have highlighted an issue that was previously ignored or unnoticed which is a great start!
Communication is always key, so now that you've got everyone's attention maybe sitting down and discussing the problem together with the champion and other mentors you might find a solution together, even if it is just a change in attitude or mindset of mentors at the Dojo, to be more aware of the needs of the girls as much as the boys.
Running one-off girls' events is something many Dojos are doing at the moment to try and attract more girls. It gives girls a chance to try out a Dojo when they either might not have known about it at all or they might have thought it was not for them, more of a "boys thing". We recently ran one at the Docklands Dojo that focussed on wearable technology and it was a lot of fun!
@Nuala-Nic-Éil or @Rachel-Schoene might be able to give you more advice. Don't give up, you're doing great!
Hi Gisela,
I'm going to put my point of view as a community member, and not as a member of the Foundation; from the other side of the mirror, as a male mentor who actually participated into the event that Ciara described. As a man and a developer, i'm always a bit doubtful when it comes to a "girl-centric" movement/logic. If we want an egalitarian position, the same efforts should be done for both groups, and hence, not pushing for one in particular ("girls" vs "kids"). On the same tone, when you split yourself out of the group, you "identify" and prioritize a part of the movement.
On the other side, coming from an engineering course, there was 1 girl for 35 person, in a pretty douchbag-centric environment; not only the students, but also on the teacher-side.
My point is, you're trying to fix a symptom rather than the real problem, applying a patch on a wooden leg. That's not perfect, but that's something.
By splitting up the group, you're isolating, in a visible manner. If it was a "girl-only" dojo, it would be against the inclusive clause of the Coderdojo mouvement (I guess?). But it wouldn't be a less of "visible" discrimination than splitting a group in 2 in front of physical people, parents and kids. And "I" don't believe kids thinks girls are less capable in a club environment.
Maybe if we find the girls too shy, our work should partly, also, focus on giving them confidence? Does isolation help? Probably not. In our dojo, we try to make a demonstration at the end of each dojo of the kids progression to the others, so they can explain what they've done and why. Does that help? Maybe, I don't know how to measure shyness .
When it comes to mentors remarks, maybe, it's a communication problem : if you feel like you're being flashed as dangerous, have a pint with the others mentors and discuss what you all can do to increase the girl engagement, don't go on this as a personal crusade or you'll necessary be flagged as "strange" (until you're recognized for what you've done, but eh, between being constantly criticized and explaining what you're trying to do, there is one step).
tl;dr : don't give up, communicate, explain and adapt
PS: share your content !!
PPS : there is a lot of maybes. It's made upon assumption of what you've said us and what you may not have done. You may have communicated with mentors and my comment makes you look like you're a solitary little-girl-sect-leader. Don't take it personally if i'm wrong, but as a germ for thoughts.
Hi @Giustina-Mizzoni, thank you very much for this kind reply.
I wasn't aware of the CoderDojo Girls initiative, which makes me think that other people at my dojo might not be aware (and maybe at other dojos?). I'll try to spread the word about this and share the guides you have linked. I'd love to contribute with the mentors guide with what I've learn so far that works with the girls. Also maybe a word of what you said that "the number of female mentors directly correlates with the number of female attendees" and that we should be making an effort to increase that number as well. What's the channel to contribute to this?
You mentioned that you have have been gathering information about practices that have given good results in increasing the percentage of girls. I'm very happy to hear that what I'm doing is one of those! Where can I find the information of which are the identified practices that work? I could learn from this and share it with the other mentors so that maybe some scepticism will be eradicated and we can ease the push back.
Another thing I wanted to ask if there is a way to see the information on percentages of girls in different regions of the world and in different activities (python, scratch, etc), this would be very useful to track and measure how we're doing in respect to the average and set goals.
About the material I've being using, I'm putting together a repository to share publicly and make it easy to keep up to date and encourage external contributions and feedback. When that is ready I'll make sure to share it with you, which is the best channel to send you this?
Thank you again Giustina for the thoughtful response, for the encouragement and for the information. I'll not give up, the road is long and hard but we'll travel it together.
I'm not exactly sure why, but in our dojo we're blessed with quite a lot of girls. We tend to have 1/3 girls and 2/3 boys in a group of ~25. In the first year we sadly didn't even have a single female coach in our team, but I can't see any difference after that changed. We do have one coach who brings his 3 daughters along, which I suspect created a solid base to build from in the beginning, so to say.
I can't say I've noticed any different treatments based on gender in our group. We treat everybody the same and that seems to work for us. When picking the 'inspirational subject of the month' about which to make a project if the kids need inspiration, we do purposefully try to pick very neutral things that don't specifically target boys or girls. Usually a subject like holidays, colours, … We also don't give any special treatment when dealing with registration or split up in groups at all. We do tend to see that new girls are generally less inclined to ask questions when they're stuck in their program, but our coaches patrol quite a lot and we usually notice that rather quickly. After a session or two this shyness seems to vanish completely.
We also give every kid the opportunity to present their work at the end of the session in the 'show and tell'. Every kid gets roughly the same applause, which is something we didn't have to explain to the parents.
To be honest, the gender subject hardly ever comes up in our group, apart from positively noticing the percentage at the end of the year when we're making the statistics (though I'd much rather like it to be 50-50). I'm not sure how this experience can be useful to others, but here it is nonetheless.
Hi Gise!
I'm really sorry to read about your experience and I understand your frustration! I think like everyone is suggesting here, there isn't enough visibility about the issue you are trying to address and how successful your efforts have been! We actually have more girls than boys at our Dojo and I've always found girls to be more engaged when they can sit with other girls, especially when they are new.
I run the Robotics module at our Dojo and what started as a small duo of two girls has really grown over time, in fact some weeks I only have two boys now and I always let them work together when we do collaborative stuff.
At our Dojo, we have catch-ups before each session and each module is overseen by a team. The catch-up is the place to go through concerns, raise any issues and to share techniques which are working. It also helps that we have someone who oversees all the logistical stuff and can be a neutral voice if there is tension between mentors and modules. If there is anyone like that at your Dojo I encourage you to go and have a conversation with them and explain your situation.
Nobody should be made to feel left out or marginalized at Coder Dojo and that goes for mentors too! They can't deny that you've upped female attendance, they just don't understand how you did it. They won't want to lose you and hopefully you can all come to a better relationship.
If I was you, I would probably offer to explicitly combine the groups one week (a week where you have an average turnout of girls) and then ask for the ninjas for their feedback on how it went in the next week. How they feel is really the key I think.
Also, coerce some of your awesome female computer scientist friends to volunteer with you if you can!
Great work, good luck and keep on truckin' you are doing amazing!
@Gisela-Rossi and anyone else interested, I came across this very informative guide today by CoderDojo Scotland.
A lot of really interesting points in there, for example that girls can be put off going to a Dojo in the first place because they feel like the "odd one out".
It also offers loads of tips and advice on everything from running activities at a Dojo to wording your event descriptions, and has ideas and links to some useful resources as well.
Hi Gisela
Please don't give up! We (Niamh Scullion, Noel King and I) started CoderDojoGirls for this same reason. We had a group of 40 and a handful of girls.
We noticed we got very few girls even trying the classes and many who did, didn't return.
We first tackled gender imbalance in our mentors. We had 2 of us female mentors and about 10 guys. We actively recruited friends for CoderDojoGirls.
We started a girls only class in the same room as the mixed beginners class. We were overwhelmed with support seeing 20 girls coming once there was specific tickets for them. Parent feedback mentioned bad experiences bringing their daughters to coding clubs where they are completely outnumbered. There were delighted they could finally bring them somewhere they were comfortable.
The girls class was so quiet! It's astonishing how little confidence they have. Giving them their own space was key to building them up and making friends!
See an article here for our feedback a year in https://www.siliconrepublic.com/careers/one-year-of-coderdojogirls-bears-lessons-in-girls-learning-code
Since then, our girls class has gotten smaller as many girls choose to join the mixed class as it's led by two awesome mentors Catrina and Vanessa who started out as ninjas! They have pretty much 50:50 now
I suggest getting feedback from parents of the girls to strength your argument. Would they still come if their daughter was one of two girls in a big noisy class? If one of the boys walked in to a class with 30 girls would they be happy to stay or would they feel like they didn't belong?
In every stage of my career I've been the only woman at a table at some stage. I've turned to girls in tech groups for support. I'd like to think that's what CoderDojoGirls provides for younger girls.
I would be happy to chat to you on Skype if you would like to chat further.
Kind regards
Also check out the awesome story of outbox incubator. There are lots of groups providing girls only support for a reason!
@Gisela-Rossi Another vote here to please stay with it! The need is real and the progress you are making with your group is real, even if the numbers are relatively low.
We start girls-only teams, tables or groups with all of our STEM activities (we run FIRST and CyberPatriot programs in addition to CoderDojo) when the number of female participants fall way low (under 20%). With the changes the girls thrive and grow and eventually they choose on their own to join mixed teams or tables as they get older.
The US has strong laws for equal opportunity in school-sponsored sports called Title IX. The same underlying principles apply to STEM activities in our view.
One observation: the age the girls start in STEM activities does not matter - a 9 year old or a 16 year old can experience the same initial biases and lack of support. What matters is that they get a year or two to get their footing in these STEM activities. After that second year they seem to thrive.
Looks like your connection to CoderDojo Forum was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect.

Nike named VP-U.S. Apparel Larry Miller to be president of its Jordan brand and said it intends to make the Jordan brand a separate, stand-alone business unit. Organizational details will be finalized within the next year. It's not known what official role or title National Basketball Association superstar Michael Jordan will have in the unit. In TV spots from Wieden & Kennedy, Portland, Ore., Mr. Jordan has been positioned as the CEO of the brand. "Its distinction from Nike allows it the opportunity to explore product avenues that would not necessarily be explored under the Nike brand," said Thomas Clarke, Nike's president-chief operating officer.

|With Joe Billingslea
|Ortheia Barnes with Myself
|The stage at the Detroit Black Music Awards
This past Sunday, I had the honor of being invited to the Detroit Black Music Awards, a 5 year old award show that parallels the Detroit Music Awards, but honoring the best of the Detroit African-American music scene. While at the awards, I was able to meet with Kim Weston ('It Takes Two' - Duet with Marvin Gaye on Motown Records), Ortheia Barnes (Member of Cut Glass and Detroit legend), and Joe Billingslea (One of two surviving members of The Contours). Overall, it was a very amazing experience, partly because I had the ability to meet some of the greatest Motown and local stars, but mostly because I was able to experience the great music that was offered that evening. While the DBMA's are a relatively new event, it had all the charm of an event twice it's age. The show felt right at home at Bert's Warehouse Theater, with wonderful decor and an inviting atmosphere. Among those taking home awards were Nick Speed and Brian Williams, who were well deserving, and who took home awards at the previous awards show. Everyone at the show was warm and inviting, and I look forward to attending next year's event, as I urge you to go.

Bombus sylvestris
The forest cuckoo bumblebee[3] or four-coloured cuckoo bee,[4] Bombus sylvestris, is a species of cuckoo bumblebee, found in most of Europe and the Russian part of Asia.[5] Its main hosts are Bombus pratorum, Bombus jonellus, and Bombus monticola.[6]
This is a small bumblebee, with the queen having a body length of 15 mm (0.59 in) and the male one of 14 mm (0.55 in).[7] The head is round and the proboscis is short. Its fur is black with a yellow collar and a white tail. Sometimes, the bumblebee can have a few pale hairs on top of the head, the scutellum and on tergite (abdominal segment) 1. The male can sometimes be more or less melanistic, or, very rarely in northern Scotland, have a tail that is yellow instead of white.[6]
The forest cuckoo bumblebee is present in most of Europe (including Russian Asia) from the northern half of the Iberian Peninsula, southern Italy, and the Balkans in the south to beyond the Arctic Circle in the north, and from Ireland in the west to easternmost Russia.[5] In Britain, it has a widespread but patchy distribution, the major areas being the south-east, north-eastern England, and east Scotland.[6]
The species is a cuckoo bumblebee, that instead of constructing a nest of its own, it usurps nests of other bumblebees. Its major host is Bombus pratorum, but Bombus jonellus and Bombus monticola are also visited.[6]
When patrolling for young queens with which to mate, the males fly in circuits about 1 m above ground, marking objects with pheromones to attract the queens.[7]
The bumblebee often visits thistles and bramble. The queen also feeds on flowers such as sallow, deadnettles, dandelion, bay, horse chestnut, lavender, and others, while the male visits clover, green alkanet, hound's-tongue, knapweed, and many others.[6]

All those thousands upon thousands of clicks, all going to your website or YouTube video.
Time to cash in on that Internet fame! Or so goes the dream.
But less than a month after going viral, Seattle's own Bitter Barista, who blogged snarky comments about customers (bitterbarista.com), is back serving coffee.
Going from local news to The Huffington Post, Gawker, London's Daily Mail and "Good Morning America," was nice, but it doesn't pay the rent on that apartment in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood for Matt Watson, 30, and his wife.
"I had a lot of people who would tell me that, that I'd cash in," Watson says about Internet fame. "That's not how the world works. I never believed that."
And the Sammamish, Wash., kid whose YouTube video went viral starting Christmas week, by now viewed more than 1.7 million times — the one in which he uses the family's washing machine as a drum?
That got Jonathan Carollo, 11, and his dad, Dan, a mid-February trip to Chicago for the "Steve Harvey" show.
Plus his entire family will be flown to "The Clean Show" this June in New Orleans — a trade show attended by 10,000 for those in, what else, the cleaning industry. Jonathan will bang away at washing machines for an audience that truly values such an artistic endeavor.
But those aren't paying gigs, just airfare and hotel. Other than that, says Jonathan's dad, all those YouTube views have so far netted around $400 for ads that run before the video begins.
But it is Will Braden, of "Henri" the existential cat videos that mimic French 1950s avant-garde films, who has managed to make a living off them. His videos have been viewed more than 10.6 million times. Braden got his first boost in 2007 when he was among winners of the Seattle Times' "Three Minute Masterpiece" digital-movie contest, but it wasn't until five years later that he hit the jackpot.
There is income from sponsors whose ads run with Henri's YouTube videos, and there are Henri mouse pads, mugs and T-shirts. In May, a $12.99 book of Henri's musings will be released with a printing of 25,000 copies.
And Braden also has a deal with Friskies for four YouTube videos that'll "explore the phenomenon of cat-food boredom" and for a Friskies "Bowled Under" photo contest for cats in their most "Henri-esque" moment.
Braden wants those financial details private, although he does refer to himself as "the thieving filmmaker" and had Henri post about doing the Friskies videos. "For those complaining about my noble and selfless act of charity, I would point out Camus and Sartre both had no problems cashing checks for their work. Of course, then Camus died in a car crash and Sartre renounced literature and started doing amphetamines."
Braden, 33 and single, says about monetizing Henri, "If I had a family and three kids, this wouldn't support me. I don't have a lavish lifestyle."
A few people do make big bucks. A New York Times story says the dad who posted a video of his son coming down from dental anesthesia made more than $100,000 from YouTube ads that ran with the video.
Watson did try to follow the book route with his Bitter Barista fame, which began when he was outed as working at All City Coffee in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood while posting comments such as: "I would remember your usual drink if you were a more memorable person."
Watson says his blog, on which he still posts, is satire. He got along well with most of his customers, he says, and thought highly of his boss, whom he had also dissed on the blog. Watson was fired.
He did sell a few Bitter Barista T-shirts and mugs, "But I didn't push that very hard." The "tip jar" on his website got $200, he says.
He also raised $8,500 on kickstarter.com to print a hardcover book of photos and Bitter Barista sayings. After costs, Watson figures he'll earn $3,000. Nice, but not exactly riches.
All of which means that starting about two weeks ago, Watson began working 30 hours a week, starting at 5:30 in the morning, at a new coffee place. It's owned by a customer he knew at All City Coffee.
Watson, who has a second life as a hip-hop artist, prefers not to name his new place of employment, just to keep things low-key and not again be outed.
Still, he says, "No regrets. This has really been fun."
At least, says Watson, with post-Bitter Barista fame, now something like 60 to 70 percent of people open the e-mails he sends out about his music, when it only used to be 20 percent.
As for Jonathan Carollo, his dad made a second YouTube video of him banging on a washing machine. "Whirled Beat: Part II," posted on Jan. 25. It hasn't quite had the same success, with about 8,400 views recently. Jonathan plans to use part of his $400 in YouTube earnings to buy a radio-controlled model airplane.
As for Will Braden, he has this advice for those of you wanting that YouTube hit:
"Don't try to copy something. It should be unique. Otherwise it'll get lost in the noise of thousands of people. My biggest piece of advice is keep it short. The video should be half as long as you think it should be.
"All of the Henri videos are like two minutes long. Get in, tell the joke and get out. It's like an after-dinner mint."
Which you could say describes lots of content in the digital age.

Ratings & Reviews
Special Features
- Closed Captioned
Adapted by Philip Dunne from the novel by Irving Stone, The Agony and the Ecstacy is the story of the 16th century war of wills between Renaissance artist Michelangelo (Charlton Heston) and "warrior pope" Julius II (Rex Harrison). Commissioned to paint a religious fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, the independent-minded Michelangelo balks at the assignment. He is virtually strongarmed into accepting the job by Pope Julius, who wants to leave something for future generations to remember him by. Director Carol Reed deftly juggles screen time between the Pope's activities on the battlefield and Michelangelo's slow, arduous completion of his monumental task. The film also gingerly approaches the subject of Michelangelo's sexual orientation vis-a-vis his relationship with the Contessina de Medici (Diane Cilento). Too long and limited in subject matter to score at the box office, The Agony and the Ecstacy holds up pretty well when seen today, especially when viewed in a wide-screen print. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

PA Lottery Cash 5, Match 6 Games Each Offer $1 Million Prizes Tonight
Jan 30, 2014, 10:25 EST
MIDDLETOWN, Pa., Jan. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Jackpots totaling $2 million are on the line tonight for the Pennsylvania Lottery's Cash 5 and Match 6 Lotto games. Each game's prize is worth an estimated $1 million.
The Cash 5 jackpot has been rolling since one ticket matched the five numbers drawn on Jan. 24, winning a $500,000 jackpot. Cash 5 is drawn nightly.
The jackpot for Match 6 Lotto, drawn Mondays and Thursdays, has been growing since Dec. 26, when one ticket matched the six numbers drawn and won a $3.4 million prize.
Both games will be drawn during the Lottery's live televised drawing show at 6:59 p.m.
How to play Cash 5: To play Cash 5, players pay $1 and select five numbers from 1 to 43. Players may select their own numbers using a Cash 5 playslip, or they may opt for computer-selected quick picks. Players must match all five numbers drawn to win the jackpot. Players also win prizes for matching two, three or four winning numbers. Cash 5 drawings are held seven nights a week, and tickets can be purchased up to seven draws (one week) in advance. Odds of winning the jackpot prize are 1-in-962,598; the overall odds of winning any prize are about 1-in-10.5.
How to Play Match 6 Lotto: Match 6 tickets cost $2 each. Players can choose six numbers from 1 to 49 or have numbers randomly selected by computer. The computer will then randomly select an additional two sets of six numbers, for three lines of six numbers each or 18 numbers total. Players can win up to four times on each ticket – once on each of three lines (base play) and by combining all 18 numbers (combined play). Match 6 Lotto drawings are held on Monday and Thursday evenings.

Since its inception in 1971, the Pennsylvania Lottery has contributed nearly $23.7 billion to programs that include property tax and rent rebates; free transit and reduced-fare shared rides; the low-cost prescription drug programs PACE and PACENET; long-term living services; and the 52 Area Agencies on Aging, including full- and part-time senior centers throughout the state.

We aim to create a school community in which every child matters and thrives. We provide each child with the opportunity for growth – personal, emotional and intellectual. We aim to ensure that every child fulfils their potential and has the opportunity to excel.
Hazeldene School
Hazeldene is a primary school that caters for children from Nursery age through to Year 5 (Year 6 from September 2018).
Hazeldene is committed to providing an appropriate and high quality education to all children. We believe that all children, including those identified as having special educational needs, have a common entitlement to a broad and balanced academic and social curriculum, which is accessible to them, and have the right to be fully included in all aspects of school life. We believe that all children should be equally valued in school, by all who attend and work there. We strive to eliminate prejudice, direct or indirect discrimination and harassment (in accordance with the Equality Act 2010), and to develop an environment where we will foster good relations so that all children can flourish and feel safe. We aim to engender a sense of community and belonging.
Keep Guard Day Nursery
Our babies are cared for in a cosy, warm and soothing environment, providing activities which stimulate their senses using textured materials and a wide variety of toys, water, sand play and music.
Our older 0-3 toddlers have access to two spacious rooms providing exploratory activities such as playdough, cooking, threading, puzzles, mark making, small world, sharing stories, singing, homecorner, art & craft, water, sand and painting.
Within our pre school our environment encourages the children to explore sand and water play, role-play, cooking, art & craft, woodwork, mark making, mathematical concepts, construction, threading, board games, musical instruments, ICT, books, story sacks and singing.
Our after school children are collected from three local schools by a member of staff in our people carrier and taken back to the club. There they have the opportunity to complete homework in a quiet designated area, 'chill' at the snack bar, relax listening to music or reading books or play a game until home time at 6pm. During the school holidays a program of activities is devised that include both planned and spontaneous activities. Regular features indoors include: playing games, art & craft, cookery, music, role play, design technology and games consoles. Outdoor activities include football, rounders, spare parts play and team building games.

We believe that all children, regardless of race, gender, social status, special educational need or disability, share a common entitlement to a broad and balanced academic and social curriculum, which is accessible to them, and have the right to be fully included in all aspects of school life.

We aim to engender a sense of community and belonging, and to offer new opportunities to learners who may have experienced previous difficulties.
This does not mean that we will treat all learners in the same way, but that we will respond to learners in ways which take account of their varied life experiences and needs. Creating truly personalised ways into learning.
We believe that educational inclusion is about equal opportunities for all learners, whatever their age, gender, ethnicity, impairment, attainment and background. We pay particular attention to the provision for and the achievement of different groups of learners:
• girls and boys, men and women
• minority ethnic and faith groups, Travelers, asylum seekers and refugees
• learners who need support to learn English as an additional language (EAL)
• learners with special educational needs
• learners who are disabled
• those who are able learners
• those who are children looked after by the local authority and adopted children
• others such as those who are sick; those who are young carers; those who are in families under stress; pregnant school girls and teenage mothers
• any learners who are at risk of disaffection and exclusion
