Child labour
Number of working children down to 170,000
Child labour phenomenon has significantly decreased in Morocco since 1999, said on Friday the High Commission for planning (HCP).
The HCP has said that the number of working children, aged between 7 and 15, stood at 170,000 in 2009, that is 3.4% of all children in the same age bracket.
Working children numbered 517,000 in 1999, representing 9.7% of all children under 15, explained the HCP in a statement issued on the occasion of World Day against Child Labour.
Morocco has made considerable progress in the fight against this phenomenon especially through enhancing access to schooling, it added.
In urban areas, the number of working children amounted to 19,000 in 2009, 0.7%, against 2.5% in 1999. In rural areas, however, that figure rose to 151,000, that is 6.4% against 16.2% in 1999.
The HCP also noted that nine out of ten working children (89%) live in rural areas, as child labour in Morocco is a rural phenomenon after all.
Socio-demographically speaking, 6 out 10 children are boys. This proportion varies between 55.0% in rural area and 83.3% in the urban ones.
Furthermore, 16.6% of children work and study at the same time, while 56.1% have left school for good and 27.3% have never attended it.
In the countryside, 93.5% of children work in agriculture, foresting and fisheries. In the city, they mainly work in services (43.9%) and industry including handicraft (36.4%).
The World Day against Child Labour, initiated by the International Labour Organization in 2002, is celebrated every year on June 12 to draw attention to child labour internationally and to the actions necessary to curb this phenomenon.

Simon Mignolet may leave Sunderland at the end of the season, says his agent
Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet could leave the club at the end of the season, according to his agent.
Last Updated: 27/02/13 11:24am
Mignolet's representative, Guy Vandersmissen, told the Belgian media the keeper may need a bigger stage in order to gain international recognition.
The 24-year-old is currently understudy in the Belgium squad to Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois - who is spending his second season on loan at Atletico Madrid.
"Our ambition is for Simon to play somewhere that he can engage in competition with Thibaut Courtois for the place in goal for Belgium," said Vandersmissen.
"Courtois is fortunate that he is playing for a team that has been doing well lately."
Mignolet still has a further two years to run on his Sunderland contract, and there were tentative discussions over a new deal earlier this season.
The stopper has made an impression with his form for Sunderland, after he was voted North East Football Writers' Player of the Year on Sunday.

Basic Job Skills to Include in a Cover Letter
Use skills language in your cover letter — including basic skills, people skills, thinking skills, and personal qualities — to communicate your expertise in fundamental job skills. These basic skills (also called foundation skills) are appropriate for everyone's skill DNA.
Based on government and academic classification systems, here's a no-frills framework that will guide you through the thicket of workplace skills and help you to identify your best foundation skills when developing your cover letters.
Basic skills
When you have basic skills, you can read, write, perform arithmetic and mathematical operations, listen, and speak.
Reading: You can locate, understand, and interpret written information such as manuals, graphs, and schedules.
Writing: You can communicate thoughts, ideas, information, and messages in writing and create documents such as letters, directions, manuals, reports, graphs, and flow charts.
Arithmetic/mathematics: You can perform basic computations and approach practical problems by choosing appropriately from a variety of mathematical techniques.
Listening: You receive, attend to, interpret, and respond to verbal messages and other cues.
Speaking: You organize ideas and communicate orally.
People skills
These are the skills that allow the "wonder of you" to mesh well with others. They include social, negotiation, leadership, teamwork, and cultural diversity.
Social: You respect the feelings of others, assert yourself when appropriate, and take an interest in what others say and why they think and act as they do.
Negotiation: You present the facts and arguments of your position and listen to and understand the other party's position, create possible ways to resolve conflict, and make reasonable compromises.
Leadership: You communicate thoughts and feelings to justify the position you champion, encourage or convince others, and motivate people to believe in and trust you.
Teamwork: You work cooperatively with others, contribute ideas and effort, and do your share of the work.
Cultural diversity: You work well with people who have different ethnic, social, or educational backgrounds.
Thinking skills
These skills enable you to think creatively, make decisions, solve problems, visualize, and know how to learn and reason.
Creative thinking: You generate new ideas.
Decision making: You have the ability to specify goals and understand reasons not to do something.
Problem solving: You can recognize a problem and devise a plan of action to deal with it.
Visualizing: You can picture symbols and organize them in your mind's eye.
Knowing how to learn: You are able to use efficient learning techniques to acquire and apply new knowledge and skills.
Reasoning: You concentrate on discovering a rule or principle underlying the relationship between two or more objects and then apply it to solve a problem.
Personal qualities
Classified as skills, these personal qualities include responsibility, self-esteem, sociability, self-management, integrity, and honesty.
Responsibility: You put forth a high level of effort and persevere toward reaching your goal.
Self-esteem: You believe in your own self-worth and maintain a positive view of yourself.
Sociability: You show understanding, friendliness, adaptability, empathy, and politeness in group settings.
Self-management: You have a realistic view of your knowledge and skills, set realistic personal goals, and monitor progress toward those goals.

The Grocery Manufacturers Association and the Food Marketing Institute, trade organizations for the food industry, launched Nutrition Keys, their voluntary program for front-of-package labeling, when they could not agree on labeling with the FDA, which is expected to present its version later this year.
In response to first lady Michelle Obama's call to end childhood obesity, the food industry has developed a voluntary labeling system for packaged grocery items.
But the industry's Nutrition Keys initiative misses the boat on the most significant key: helping consumers understand calories and weight gain.
An estimated 40 percent of Americans do not read food labels, presumably because the labels are cumbersome and hard to interpret. The first lady challenged the food industry and government agencies in March 2010 to develop simple nutrient information to help consumers better manage their health and weight.
The goal: quick, front-of-package references for key nutrients –– not a replacement of the complete nutrition facts label.
Most health experts believe calories, saturated fat and sodium are the primary nutrients Americans should limit in their diet and, thus, those should be easier to understand on food packaging.
The Grocery Manufacturers Association and the Food Marketing Institute, trade organizations for the food industry, launched Nutrition Keys, their voluntary program for front-of-package labeling, when they could not agree on labeling with the FDA, which is expected to present its version later this year.
Four key nutrients –– calories, saturated fat, sodium and sugar –– will be displayed per serving in an easy-to-read format. Smaller packages may list only one key nutrient.
Two additional keys –– "nutrients to encourage" –– may also be listed. They could include potassium, fiber, calcium, iron, protein and vitamins A, C and D.
Health experts are disappointed with the food industry's decision to add "nutrients to encourage" to the front label because they say that information could mislead consumers. For example, prominently pointing out that a chocolate chip cookie contains 50 percent of the daily value for calcium implies it is a healthy choice.
The GMA says it developed Nutrition Keys because it shares in the first lady's goal of "solving childhood obesity within a generation," but its actions don't add up.
For most nutrients like calcium and vitamin C, in addition to the actual value per serving, the Nutrition Keys will also display what percent of the daily value that number represents. But this information is not mandated for calories, making it difficult for consumers to determine if the calorie count in a product is excessive.
Aiming to garner support for its new program, the GMA claims similar front-of-package labeling is widely accepted in the United Kingdom. However, the percentage of average daily calories appears in the U.K. but not on all packages in the U.S., according to The Public Health Advocacy Institute.
Perhaps the food industry does not want its Nutrition Keys to unlock some secrets? If consumers saw that one serving of Breyers Ice Cream Poppers represented 24 percent of the percentage daily value for calories (2000) and two servings represented close to 50 percent of the daily value, they might think twice about buying this snack.
Fat chance that information will be volunteered on the label.

Iditarod Dog Found 7 Days After Disappearing From Team
The 53-year-old winner of the 41st Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race made history this week as the oldest winner of the grueling endurance race, but an Iditarod dog lost for seven days may have had the most amazing journey at this year's race.
May, a strawberry blond female, got loose last Thursday from the team of Newton Marshall, the Jamaican musher leading her sled in the 1,000-mile race across Alaska.
When Marshall stopped mid-race Thursday to help a fellow musher repair her sled, the lines of the two sleds became entangled, and May was separated from the team, according to a post on Marshall's fan Facebook page.
As the search for May, a veteran Iditarod dog, got under way, it also played out on social media, with the team behind her owner, veteran Iditarod musher Jim Lanier, who also competed in this year's race but did not race with May, posting sightings and frequent updates to his own Facebook page.

Lanier's wife, Anna Bondarenko, flew to Alaska to "be the familiar face to call May in from the cold," according to a post on Facebook. She relied on help from local residents to search for May, borrowing snow machines and crisscrossing the state by plane as new sightings of May came in.
May was seen running along the Iditarod trail numerous times but was always missed by those who spotted her, and by Anna who was "always a day behind her, due to weather issues flying between checkpoints," read a Facebook post.
On Thursday, with hope running slim, the couple got the good news that May had been found by three snowmachiners on a trail.
"We had just pulled over on the side of the trail … and about 100 yards away a dog was trotting down the trail," one of the snowmachiners, Kaitlin Koch, 22, told the Anchorage Daily News. "It was coming at a pretty slow pace, and we were waiting to see if someone on a four-wheeler or snowmachine was with her."
Describing the dog as alone, skinny and with blood on her paws, Koch said she got off her sled and approached May, who welcomed the help.
"She came right up to me," Koch said. "She sat in my lap the entire trip back to Big Lake."
The trio had doubts that the missing Iditarod dog they had heard about could be this one, so far away from the race's end, but they called Iditarod headquarters to report her found, just in case. One hour later, one of Lanier's friends arrived to take the dog home, reports the Daily News.
"It's an incredible journey," said the friend, Stan Smith, to the Daily News, also noting the dog had eaten canned salmon and kibble stew as part of her recovery.
A Facebook post from Lanier, who could not be reached today by ABCNews.com, estimates that May traveled over 150 miles before being found while Smith, himself an Iditarod veteran, told the Daily News he thought May likely traveled 300 to 400 miles.
Based on the sightings of May reported along the course, Smith, who also could not be reached today, believes the dog was trying to find her way back to the start of the race but missed a crucial turn along the way.
"She was absolutely running home," he told the Daily News. "She traveled several times from Rohn to Nikolai, all the way up the Dalzell Gorge, up the Alaska Range to the other side, through Rainy Pass, across Shell Lake; she was spotted multiple times in Skwentna. So many reports of seeing her. They were all heading south."
While May's musher, Newton Marshall, the improbable dog sled racer from Jamaica, was forced to drop out of the race in Nikolai after May became lost, her owner went on to finish the race.
Lanier crossed the finish line of his 16 th Iditarod on Thursday - the same day May was found - in 35 th place. The race took him 10 days, 10 hours, 21 minutes and eight seconds to complete, according to his Facebook page.

Kyle Rehkemper had 10 kills for the Crimson against Pepperdine (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
MALIBU, Calif. - The Harvard men's volleyball team was defeated Tuesday evening by No. 13 Pepperdine, 3-0. The loss drops the Crimson to 7-7 overall this season.
Harvard's second match of its California spring break trip came down to the team's attack percentages. The Waves averaged a 46 percent attack percentage, while Harvard only managed 10.3 percent.
Pepperdine opened the match attacking at a 52.4 percent clip, leading to 13 kills. The Crimson notched nine kills of its own, but dropped the set 25-14. In the second set, the Waves attacking dropped to 29.3 percent, yet the Crimson could not capitalize as its own attack percentage dropped to 2.6 percent. Pepperdine took the set 25-13 behind 17 kills. The Waves tallied 18 kills, while attacking at a 68 percent rate, and took the third and deciding set, 25-15.
Pepperdine's Cory Riecks led all players with 13 kills. Freshman Kyle Rehkemper led the Crimson with 10 kills. Harvard will wrap up its west coast swing with a matchup against No. 1 Southern California Wednesday evening.

Ridge Vineyards is closed today. The tasting rooms are silent, the corks remain interred, the foils are still uncut. No wine splashing into waiting crystal bowls, no soft sighs of appreciation as the crimson elixirs pass expectant lips.
I accordingly made my farewells last night, as I slipped into the Monte Bello darkness towards my car; the fading glow of lights absorbed behind me. I reached my car, loaded my bags and wine in, and prepared to slide into the seat and turn the engine.
And then I paused.
It was cold, almost bitterly so, and the breeze was picking up and turning sharp. My heavy black overcoat seemed meager protection in the moment, but the slowly weaving backlit figures on the knoll seemed, with their canes, to be beckoning, so I walked towards the knoll, the stroll feeling somehow pre-ordained.
The night-glazed stones turned crisply beneath my boots as I moved up the path towards the summit: the broad spread of the knoll, its pate fringed with a sparse ring of weathered and wise old vines.
And I stood there in the lowering eve, faintly trying to ponder on the year just passing, but instead, mostly just feeling the space; the air, the sky, the ground.
And this, I realized, is what I'd come to do; I had simply come to bid farewell to a fine year, and feel its departure in the quiet of the slowly lowering evening.
No revelations, no epiphanies; no laughter, no tears. Just a soft bit of silence, and a moment of peace.
Farewell to you, 2012, and thank you. Good night.

The Harvest Moon marks Uranus
Saturday's full moon, the closest to autumnal equinox, marks the famous Harvest Moon. Legend holds that farmers have long used the added light of this moon to continue bringing in the crops well into the night. Science backs up the legend.
This time of year, the moon travels a shallow, lazy arc along the ecliptic, midway between its highest transits in winter and its lowest path during summer. As a result, for us in mid-northern latitudes, moonrise changes by about 30 minutes for several nights either side of full, compared to almost an hour difference at other times of year. The farther north of the equator, the closer the time of moonrise. North of the Arctic Circle, the time of moonrise actually comes a few minutes earlier over the course of a few nights. Over that time, the moon rises in conjunction with sunset and sets with sunrise over several nights while also presenting a larger illuminated face to us.
Alas, all that moonlight will make it tough to take advantage of what is usually the best chance to see the most distant naked-eye planet. That same Saturday marks the opposition of Uranus, when it is directly opposite the sun from our earthbound vantage, thus appearing its brightest. At magnitude 5.7, distant Uranus is at the brink of what you can see with the unaided eye on a dark night.
A gas giant like the other outer planets, Uranus is surrounded by a dense atmosphere of ammonia and methane, giving it a blue-green color. The planet boasts 27 known moons and 13 rings, but unlike every other planet, Uranus stands on its side, its south pole facing the sun and its rings pointing up.
Saturday Uranus is four degrees below the full moon, so you'll likely need binoculars or a modest telescope to spot it. Even then, at more than 1.6 billion miles from us, Uranus appears as a small, steady-glowing, blue-green speck.

Hillside Supper Club good, but has rough edges
Two recent trends have helped expand and improve the Bay Area dining scene: Kickstarter and the pop-up restaurant.
The ability for small operators to raise money online and further build a customer base has given some restaurateurs the boost they need, and being able to operate temporarily has offered cooks the ability to test out menus and build a following so they can permanently join the rank of restaurant owners.
The convergence of these two elements is clearly illustrated at Hillside Supper Club. It started life as the Bernal Supper Club pop-up, then expanded part-time into Cozzolino, an Italian restaurant across from Precita Park.
In January, Tony Ferrari and Jonathan Sutton took over the Cozzolino location permanently. They did a cosmetic remodel that included painting the walls white, which turned the beamed ceiling, woodwork and dark floors into focal points. For an artistic element, they added retro aqua glass Ball jars as wall sconces.
The partners met at Johnson and Wales in Miami and then went their separate ways: Ferrari to Europe and Thailand, Sutton to Chicago and Washington, D.C. They reconnected in San Francisco when Ferrari worked at Acquerello and Sutton at Michael Mina. They hosted the pop-up for more than a year before settling into the Cozzolino space.
On my first two visits to the brick-and-mortar restaurant, the blackboard over the utilitarian open kitchen listed "Our Inspirations" - grandmothers, Marco Pierre White, Fernand Point, Apicus and Jean-Louis Palladin. The modest menu - six appetizers and four main courses - reflected those inspirations, from a classic celery root soup ($7) with truffles and chives, to homey Nonna's meatballs ($9) made with beef and pork bathed in a fennel-infused tomato sauce.
The menu also includes a fine example of a duck liver mousse ($9), served in a glass jar topped with huckleberry gelee. Whole-grain mustard, cornichons and crostini come on the side; unfortunately, the bread wasn't toasted enough so it ended up tasting a little stale.
The transition from pop-up to permanent is not without challenges. When I ate at the pop-up, I was charmed by what Sutton and Ferrari did. However, on my three most recent visits to the restaurant, I was surprised by the inconsistencies.
On my third visit, for example, the complimentary pickled vegetables that started the meal shouldn't have been served. The ramekins had been filled so far in advance that the vegetables were dry and a thin cucumber slice hung over the edge of the small bowl, unappetizingly wrinkled and crusty. The waiter should have been observant enough to see that, but while the staff is personable, it seems they haven't had the necessary training. Maybe people forgive a lot more in a pop-up than they do a permanent location.
The kitchen should also have been more focused on an arugula and apple salad ($7). The mound of arugula was piled on a too-small plate so that some of the leaves hung over the rim, and there wasn't enough ginger carrots, toasted almonds and honey vinaigrette to lift the lettuce from the doldrums.
The menu is also all over the place. On my first two visits, one appetizer was a Margherita pizza ($14), a left-field addition that felt like the chefs were trying to hedge their bets and be all things to many people. I ordered it and then learned that the oven was broken so it wasn't available.
On the next visit, the pizza was replaced by hamachi crudo ($10) with yuzu, blood orange and thin coins of hearts of palm. It was good, but could have used a more precise hand in presentation because there was too much juice on the bottom and too many embellishments on top, burying the fish.
We also ordered baked giant lima beans ($9) with chorizo and gremolata made with cilantro, but it didn't need the sous vide egg, which distracted from the other ingredients and diffused the flavorings. While the braised pork cheeks ($19) were excellent, there was too much of a good thing - in this case, sweetness from slow-cooked red cabbage, sweetened parsnip puree and syrupy Asian pears. The dish needed a savory element for balance.
Seared sturgeon ($22), however, hit all the right notes. The fish was arranged on a mat of heavily smoked potato puree cut with a tangy gribiche sauce and coins of radishes.
While I like the smoked element in the potatoes, it didn't work nearly as well on a side dish of smoked broccoli with gribiche ($6); the broccoli ended up overly pungent. On another visit the sturgeon was replaced with Mount Lassen trout ($22) with a pleasant blend of horseradish yogurt and marinated beets. It's too bad the accompanying Israeli couscous was underseasoned.
The owners clearly have vision and talent, but could use an editor; in some cases, the embellishments diminish the effect on such otherwise excellent combinations as handmade cavatelli with lamb sugo ($13/$18). I loved it until I got a sweet, acidic burst of pickled pomegranate. A fresh contrast is always nice on a long-cooked sauce, but in this case the effect was jolting.
Desserts included an OK duck egg custard ($8) and a very chewy coconut chocolate chip cookie ($3).
Yet for all its minor flaws in food and service, the room was packed with customers and goodwill. Hillside feels like a club - a neighborhood gathering place in an underserved residential area. In the end, that's what counts.
The wine list
The wine list at Hillside Supper Club is quirky and, like the menu, all over the board.
All 18 wines are offered by the glass, carafe or bottle, which is a nice touch, but it's difficult to choose a wine because many are relatively unfamiliar and the wines are overpriced for what you get. The staff isn't particularly knowledgeable, the wines aren't well-stored and the reds are served too warm.
Tiamo Prosecco is $36 by the bottle, but it retails for around $15; 2011 Ventisquero Sauvignon Blanc is $48, but retails at $10-$17; Sean Thackery Pleiades XXII is $52, but can be bought at K&L for $24.
Choosing a wine can also be a challenge, because many aren't versatile enough to take you through a meal. The only Pinot Noir on the list is the 2010 Enkidu ($15/$38/$60), but I didn't want to pay that much for a casual dinner where most main courses are less than $20.
When it comes to beer, Almanac Honey Saison ($6) and Sculpin Ballast Point IPA ($5) are on tap, and six Northern California brews are offered by the bottle.
If you bring your own wine, a good option, corkage is $15.

After, in his view, getting elbowed out of the Virginia Republican nomination last November with the switchover from a primary to a convention nomination process, Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling has been flirting with the idea of running as an independent. Last month, he sent out a missive to test the waters, asking for voters' opinions on whether he should make the bid, but they've apparently decided that his idea of courting more "mainstream" Virginia voters is not a winning proposition.
In announcing his decision to his supporters, Bolling conspicuously declined to endorse either Cuccinelli or McAuliffe, and admitted that he knew he wouldn't be able to raise the funds necessary to run the necessary superior campaign.
Bolling said he concluded the financial obstacles to an independent campaign might be insurmountable. Just as importantly, he said he was ultimately unwilling to break with the GOP after a long career in Republican politics.
"Based on my discussions with key donors over the past three weeks, I was confident I could raise enough money to run a competitive campaign, but I was not confident I could raise enough money to run a winning campaign," Bolling said. "Running as an Independent candidate would have required me to sever my longstanding relationship with the Republican Party. While I am very concerned about the current direction of the Republican Party, I still have many dear friends in the Republican Party, people who have been incredibly supportive of me over the years."
"I wish Mr. McAuliffe and Mr. Cuccinelli well as they begin their campaigns. One of these two candidates will have the responsibility of leading Virginia into the future," Bolling said. "I encourage them to run campaigns that are worthy of Virginia; campaigns that focus on the big issues facing our state and offer a positive vision for the future of Virginia."
So that leaves the firebrand Tea Partier Cuccinelli versus former DNC chairman McAuliffe, and no doubt the Democratic campaign machinery will now get to relentlessly attacking Cuccinelli in earnest for being an out-of-control, right-wing "extremist." CNN reminds us that, without Bolling in the race, things are looking fairly even between the two contestants:
The most recent poll in the Virginia contest, conducted last month by Quinnipiac University, indicated that Bolling had the support of 13% of voters, with McAuliffe at 34% and Cuccinelli at 31%. Without Bolling in the contest, McAuliffe and Cuccinelli were deadlocked at 38%.
But that still leaves a major undecided factor up for grabs, and Virginia's purplish, national-bellwether status means that the race and the commonwealth's accompanying political mood will get plenty of scrutiny over the coming months.
Update: Says Larry Sabato:
The common reaction to Bolling's decision is that it's a win for Cuccinelli, because it's easy to assume that having a Republican independent in the race would split the conservative vote and deliver the governorship to McAuliffe. But it's also possible that a Bolling candidacy would have ended up splitting the state's moderate Democrats, Republicans and independents, allowing Cuccinelli to win a three-way race with a devoted base of conservative supporters. With Bolling out, Cuccinelli is the only contender who can continue Virginia's remarkable run of electing as governor the candidate whose party doesn't control the White House, a streak that began in 1977 and has continued for nine elections. (Virginia is the only state where a governor cannot run for reelection.)

EVERETT — A young inmate found hanging in his Snohomish County Jail cell late last month has died.
The man, 21, died at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett around 6 p.m. Saturday, officials said Monday. Word on the cause of death was not immediately available.
The man was found unconscious around 12:30 a.m. on July 26 by a corrections officer making routine checks, Snohomish County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. The inmate had been alone in his cell.
The deputy and a jail sergeant provided CPR until medics arrived from the Everett Fire Department. The inmate was revived and transported to the hospital.
He had been booked into the Snohomish County Jail on warrants late the night of July 24 for alleged domestic violence assault, possessing stolen property and theft.
During the booking process, the man had been screened for medical and mental health issues.
"Nothing alerted deputies that he might need additional monitoring," Ireton said.
He had been in the jail before and there had not been any mental health concerns during previous stays, she said.
At one point in his childhood, the inmate had received extensive mental health counseling, according to court r ecords.
As a teen in 2006, he was the one who found his father after he'd died. He spent time at a mental health hospital afterward.
In middle school, he was assigned to a classroom for students with sometimes challenging behaviors.
County officials have made several changes to try to reduce the number of deaths in the jail where 10 people have died since 2010. Inmate deaths outside of the jail, such as the man who died Saturday, have not been included in that total.
There has been an incident review as is standard procedure when inmates harm themselves or are harmed by others. The review found that staff followed policies and procedures, Ireton said.

We all know that food always tastes nicer with friends so it does break my heart a bit when Kit comes home and says that she now loves cauliflower and I think of the endless moments spent trying to make cauliflower attractive... where did I go wrong? Never mind, at least she eats is somewhere! Same with asparagus I got so excited when she said she loved it that I decided to steam it right the next day...Kat was eager to try it too. I order groceries online so sometimes portions are a surprise I didnt realise a bunch could have that many stems! Anyhow, determined to steam that, I served it all up and they did look pretty in their beautiful green glory but I guess the portion size scared the two girls!!
One look and Kit said: I just tried one in class and I loved it I cant eat so much!! My heart sank.
Now it was Kats turn: Can I just try one first? She did and she gave me that sideways secret look (the one she uses to show her dislike when Kit is eating). I died.
Will try another time I promise!
It is wonderful to see Kit come home excitedly with a sticker that says I tried a new food today and I loved it! Other days I need to jog her memory to remind her what she ate for lunch and she will describe a new food to me: we ate something white sauce with carrots so I know it is ranch dressing FUN game!
Yesterday was classic. She was sitting on the potty when she called me Mummy I tried something new for lunch today. All smiles for me!
Me: Really? How wonderful! What was it?
Kit: Something yellow orange, very sweet. I know I ate antelope today!
Me: Antelope? Thats an animal. Did you eat cantaloupe?
Kit: I think so it was antelope At this point she looks very serious and nods her head. She is convinced she ate one!
After much fruit recognition (its not easy to convince Kit) she is content to note that she ate cantaloupe. To change the subject I casually look at her lunch menu and say Tomorrow you will eat chicken wings.
Kit immediately gets up from the potty Why? Why are we eating chicken wings?

Retired Colonel
He speaks of patriotism with an eloquence lost to the gentlemen of bygone
eras patriotism hard and true straight from the heart God, Corps, and
country duty for the sake of duty but not for advancement or economic gain. He
speaks with pride and integrity and honor qualities wasted by many men but held
proudly by a United States Marine. His eyes are sharp and cold as blue steel,
his spirit full of fire. A rigid jaw and an unyielding hand calloused by years
of service to his country and its cause, he points out the scars battle wounds.
A story he tells for each and every mark, his memories flooding back to him,
taking him to years long past. He speaks of brothers-in-arms, fallen but never
forgotten who paid an ultimate sacrifice for freedom. Stories of heroism and
bravery in the hell that is war pass his trembling lips. He gazes upon the wife
and children he so often left alone, his strength and will passed on to them,
and a memory in each face before him left her for the first time when duty
called in 1959 married her when he returned in 1960 his first son, born while
doing combat maneuvers. The list goes on. Duty is over for him now and time to
join all his brother marines gone before. My father is gone. The world has lost
one of its finest and as the rain falls I have to think that even God weeps. I
fall asleep with his final words on my heart Semper Fidelis.
I died today and as my body lay lifeless I soared far above the clouds to the
Utopia that is Heaven. I saw the gates made of pearl and gold shining so
brightly that I could scarce make out the figures on either side. As I
approached, my heart filled with elation unknown to me ever before. I looked
down and found myself in dress blues and there he was in all his glory. My
father stood as head of the guard protecting Heavens gates. He was young and
vibrant a Marine in his prime. He took my hand and introduced me to his
guard Johnson, ODonnell, Bryant, Shively all of his brothers gone before. He
smiled at me and with pride in his voice he said to me, "So you see my
daughter, the hymn is true the streets are guarded by United States Marines."
On that note he opened Heavens gate and said to me, "Semper Fi your duty

Baby Painter by Gnomesoft, LLC
by via_web on
April 28, 2011
Filed under App DB, Entertainment, Lifestyle, iPad Apps, iPhone Apps
The first truly optimized and intuitive interface for a Baby or Toddler to paint with their finger on your iDevice! There is no interface buttons or selections to get in the way. No ads to accidentally click and be taken out of the application.
By far one of the easiest painting app available. Your child can use a single finger or all their fingers, they can have one or more friends draw with them. The color will change with each new line automatically to keep the painting colorful. The size of the line is based on how long they hold their finger down before they start drawing. The size the the line and the color that will be used is shown in a growing circle under each finger. Then when they are ready to start over simply shake the device.
Best of all if they accidentally exit by locking or hitting the home button they only have to go back in and they can start where they left off. When you want to save the picture just take a screen shot by pressing the home and lock buttons at the same time.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 12, No. 2 Fall 1985
Williard E. Stone UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA (EMERITUS)
Abstract: John Mair, in 1752, stated, "Barter, or the exchange of goods for goods, is nothing else but buying and selling blended together." This statement, for all its seeming simplicity, is an excellent expression of the confusion which has accompanied the practice and theory of recording this most basic commercial transaction. Can one accounting transaction be both a sale and a purchase at one and the same time and for the same accounting entity?
The proper recording of the barter transaction has occupied the attention of accounting text book authors, beginning in 1494 with Pacioli, with various authors expounding different solutions for almost 500 years. It was not until 1971 that a sound theoretical solution was presented.
Barter, or the exchange of one good for another, was the oldest form of commercial transaction. Although this primitive transaction, without the complication of monetary or credit instruments, may seem a very simple one, in fact it presents unexpected difficulties for the accountant. The basic question that arose concerned the nature of a barter transaction. Is it a purchase, a sale, or possibly, as one author characterizes it, a simultaneous purchase and sale? The recommended recording methods varied considerably, and no logical theoretical basis existed for the accounting practices pre-sented.
In attempting to trace the development of accounting theory and practice with respect to the recording of barter transactions we must infer them from the writings of early authors by reference to the demonstrations given in their books. In addition, it may be un-justified to conclude that the methods demonstrated were common bookkeeping practices of the time. Within these limitations, an at-tempt will be made to deduce the early development of the practice and theory underlying the recording of barter transactions.
Pacioli To the 19th Century
Pacioli, in discussing the accounting treatment for barter, stated: "first enter it (the barter transaction) in the memorandum book,

Religious Right's Shameful Exploitation of Newtown Massacre
The Religious Right's Shameful Exploitation of Newtown Massacre
Bill Berkowitz
16 December 2012
It's commonplace for Religious Right leaders to blame the godlessness of Americans for hurricanes, tornadoes, the 911 attack, and the gay rights movement. And, as someone who regularly monitors and writes about the Religious Right's activities, I am seldom surprised by the ills its leaders ascribe to godlessness. Nevertheless, even I was shocked by the comments of two nationally prominent conservative religious leaders in the wake of the Connecticut elementary school murders.
Two of the most shameful observations about the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, which killed 26 people, including 20 children, came from Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas Governor, Fox Television Channel news contributor. and host of a Saturday night Fox television program, and Joel Rosenberg, the best-selling author of apocalyptic novels.
On Friday, the day of the massacre, Huckabee, who often comes across as affable and sensible, responded to the shootings by saying that the incident was no surprise because we have "systematically removed God" from public schools.
"We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed God from our schools," Huckabee said on Fox News. "Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage? Because we've made it a place where we don't want to talk about eternity, life, what responsibility means, accountability -- that we're not just going to have be accountable to the police if they catch us, but one day we stand before, you know, a holy God in judgment. If we don't believe that, then we don't fear that."
Huckabee was revisiting his late-July stance following the Aurora, Colorado movie theater shootings. At the time, Huckabee said that "We don't have a crime problem, a gun problem or even a violence problem. What we have is a sin problem. And since we've ordered god out of our schools, and communities, the military and public conversations, you know we really shouldn't act so surprised... when all hell breaks loose."
Joel Rosenberg is not nearly as well-known a public figure as Mike Huckabee, but he is nevertheless a formidable figure on the Religious Right as an author of several best-selling apocalyptic novels and several non-fiction works on the Middle East.
His Flash Traffic post titled "Implosion Update: The Demons of Violence are on the Loose in America. But Why? And Where Do We Go From Here?" pointed out that "It's not just "the economy, stupid." We are, in many respects, in a moral and spiritual freefall in our country, and we are paying a terrible price."
Rosenberg maintained that "The demons of violence and lawlessness are the loose all across America ... . [and] the further we turn away from God in our nation -- the further we drive Him out of our society, our of our schools and courts, and out of our media and out of our homes, or the more we give mere lip service to religion, the more men are "holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power" (2 Timothy 3:5) -- the worse things are getting."
Rosenberg asked readers to "Consider the cultural war against Jesus and Christmas that has been waged just in the last few days," and he went on to cite several recent headlines:
• Fox News headline: "Holiday
message: Atheists dub Jesus a 'myth' on Times Square
• CNN column, "Have yourself a merry atheist Christmas"
• AP article about the "War on Christmas"
• Fox News story about a rapper singing about a "Gangbanger Jesus"
• KTVA-TV (Alaska) story: "Atheists Wage War on Christmas in Anchorage: Anti-religion signs on People Mover buses"
• Comedy Central's Jon Stewart wages war on Christmas and mocks those who thinks he's wrong
He added: "The Lord God Almighty is a gentleman. He won't force us to accept His great love and many blessings. If a nation tells Him to leave, He will leave. But what are we reaping as a result of a society that increasingly ignores God and hates or dismisses Jesus Christ? We are witnessing a horrifying explosion of murder. We are witnessing a gruesome crime wave unprecedented in American history. And there appears to be no end in sight. In recent years, we've seen brutal mass murders in high schools, on college campuses, and in small towns all across America (a recent FBI report says the murder rate soared 18.3% in small towns in America last year alone)."
Rosenberg cautioned that "there is a point of no return – a point at which God removes His hand of grace and mercy and turns to the judgment of America."
In a piece that runs for hundreds of words, Rosenberg never once mentions the word gun (he uses the word "gunman" twice, and the phrase "gunned down" once). He never advocates for responsible or sensible gun control, never acknowledges the epidemic of guns in this country. Not once. Never ever.
We can no longer afford to stay silent. It is the moral imperative of our leaders — secular and religious -- to respond to this latest tragedy as a call to action. And Huckabee, Rosenberg and their brethren, should be ashamed of their callous response to the pain of others.
