Liberal Democrats remain wedded to higher spending on schools and universities, despite high-level moves to wean the party off its commitment to raise income tax by 1p to boost education spending.
The loudest applause of the Eastbourne conference session on education was won by Phil Willis, former headteacher and now MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough, when he called on Labour to have the courage to invest in education.
"Bring forward the plannedPounds 1 billion raid on contingencies into this year, where our schools will derive the maximum amount of benefit," he declared.
"Above all ... have the courage if necessary to raise taxation in 199899 to deliver what the vast majority of the British public want you to deliver - the highest possible quality education service."
Liberal Democrat leaders, meanwhile, had been briefing journalists that the party's 1p income tax pledge was likely to be dropped before the next election.
But Don Foster, the party's education spokesman, said the policy had been to add 1p "if necessary". The extra money - an estimated Pounds 2 billion - was necessary at the time of the election, but it was impossible to say if this would still be the case in three years, he told The TES.
But Mr Willis warned against abandoning the tax commitment. Speaking to Liberal Democrat councillors on Wednesday, he said: "Don't let any of the senior members of our party get away with loose comments about ditching a commitment fundamental to the education policy we believe in."
Back in the conference hall, party spokesmen and delegates were united in condemning the Government's decision to impose tuition fees, dubbing the fees "a student poll tax". The conference passed a motion demanding free tuition up to first-degree level and calling for money raised by the three stakeholders in further and higher education - the state, employers and students - to be "ring-fenced" rather than disappearing into the Treasury pot.
Kay Bernard, a scientist at Bristol University, said she feared tuition fees would disadvantage both women, and scientists (two-thirds of whom came from low-income families, according to a recent study). She asked whether either group would welcome a Pounds 10,000 debt at the age of 21.
Earlier, delegates had reponded overwhelmingly to a call to "end the confusion and chaos" of the current system of transfer to secondary schools, in particular to overturn the Greenwich judgment that says LEAs do not have to give priority to children living in their area.
Moving the motion, Paul Burstow, MP for Sutton and Cheam, said that for a growing number of families it was "no longer a question of parental choice . . . more one of spoilt choice".
In his constituency, one in five pupils attending secondary school lived outside the borough, yet in February the council had been unable to offer places to 392 local children who wanted places in locally-managed schools.
Only one delegate spoke in favour of parents' cross-boundary rights: Keith Fitchett, deputy leader of Lambeth Liberal Democrats. Overturning the Greenwich judgment would be unfair to parents who lived near boundaries, he said.
"It's the 'dirty little secret of state education' that people buy homes near popular schools. The people who can't afford to do that would be the ones affected by the policy in this resolution. We've already seen in the USA the effects of education ghettoes in the inner cities; we mustn't do it here. "

Time for another Extraordinary Triangles exercise. Here goes:
The Death Of Ivan Ilyich is the story of a respectable public servant in pre-revolutionary Tsarist Russia examining his life on the backdrop of a malady that keeps getting worse, forcing him to put into question everything he heretofore took for granted, including his dignity, his morality, and the right(eous)ness of his life choices. In retrospect, as he looks back on his life including his childhood, Ivan Ilyich realizes that the years have taken their toll. He is not the man he used to be. It's not as if he's looking back at a younger version of himself. He's a totally different person to the one he's reflecting on, and the process scares him, forcing him into a number of grave assessments of both himself and his surroundings, all the while seeking redemption.
Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki And His Years Of Pilgrimage is the story of a self-sufficient engineer trying to understand a life-changing conflict between himself and four formerly close high-school friends, with whom he no longer has contact. The incident took place sixteen years prior, the event presumably forgotten after all this time, and yet it finds its way back into Tsukuru's life, urging him to seek answers. The past, Tsukuru realizes, is not something you can easily sideswipe. 'You can hide memories, but you can't erase the history that produced them.' It takes great effort to reconcile oneself with what happened, and even then things can never be fully mended, though new beginnings can always be made, if one so chooses.
Hourglass: Time, Memory, Marriage is the story of two authors, Dani and her husband, M., whose eighteen-year-long marriage has led them to examine every aspect of their conjoined lives. Written from the perspective of Dani, it offers insight on the effects of time spent in wedlock, exploring the formative power of memories. Dani realizes in bittersweet fashion that life has a way of working out even when it doesn't quite work out, and that what we call life is a non-linear assortment of experiences we keep track of as best we can in order to give meaning to what we, and others, including loved ones, do, or did, or love doing. She also realizes that the person doing the reminiscing, the pondering, the self-reflection, is not the same person as the one being reflected on, and that this entails a learning curve that represents the process of growing up, which we engage in for as long as we live.
And there you have it. The Death Of Ivan Ilyich; Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki And His Years Of Pilgrimage; Hourglass: Time, Memory, Marriage; three compelling tales centered around the arduous but often rewarding power of self-reflection, exploring the effects of the past, shedding light on the process of digging deep in order to truly know oneself, and one's loved ones — to come to terms with our life choices in our ongoing effort to redeem ourselves.

District's pony club youngsters pick the brains of equestrian elite | Photos
The Carcoar and Districts Pony Club hosted the Zone 3 Dressage School over the weekend and Rally Day at the Blayney Showgrounds.
The Zone Dressage School, held on Saturday, was attended by 18 riders from Carcoar, Orange, Bathurst and Cudal Pony Clubs.
Riders each had three small group lessons with NSW State Pony Club Dressage coach Sarah Venamore.
It was valuable school for riders to advance their skills at a local location building Pony Club rider skills in the region.
Sarah enjoyed her visit to Blayney and was impressed with the local rider's determination to work at new skills. The Zone is hopeful of hosting other Schools in the region in 2019.
On Sunday, the Carcoar and Districts Rally Day was also a fabulous opportunity for our local riders.
Liz Oatley and Rainer Nist, parents of Kristy Oatley-Nist Australian Olympian Equestrian rider as well as both accomplished Equestrian riders themselves, instructing at the Rally Day.
Liz shared her valuable knowledge and skills working with our riders with their flat work. Rainer, as a mounted instructor, put our riders thru their paces on the cross country course.
Wonderful opportunity to have instructors of their calibre at our local Club.
Supported by our ever valuable regular local instructors John Kinghorn, Ainslie Wright and Sue Wark, who instruct at our monthly Rally Days throughout the year.

« Here is the Simpson's hypo (aka RIP Rod and Todd Flanders): | Main | How does (and how should) homicide law respond to the drunk driver who kills? »
October 11, 2017
What do you think of the sentence given to Robert Richie, the dad convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Ohio's uglier version of Williams?
As reported in this local article, headlined "Robert Ritchie sentenced for his role in son's scalding death," there was a sentencing just yesterday in an Ohio manslaughter case that reminded me of the Williams case (and also the Lima case and even the Josephine pool hypo). Here are the sad details:
A judge sentenced a father who neglected to get his four-year old son help after his wife held the boy down in scalding water, to seven years in prison. Robert Ritchie could have been sentenced to 11 years. Anna Ritchie put her stepson, Austin, in 124-degree water for 20 minutes as a punishment, then put him to bed. By the next morning, Austin had died.
A jury found Robert Ritchie guilty of involuntary manslaughter and child endangering for not checking on his son or getting him help.
Austin's maternal grandmother says while wife Anna Ritchie did the damage, Robert did nothing. She said Robert is destined for hell. Robert's aunt defended Robert. She told the court he is not the monster he is being portrayed.
Robert's attorney Frank Schiavone III asked for probation for his client, saying he's under a life sentence for his role in Austin's death. Robert Ritchie's attorneys said there was no punishment that could top what their client has already received. He could have received eleven years behind bars, with time served, he will spend a little over six years in prison....
Ritchie was convicted for his role in the 2016 scalding death of his 4-year-old son Austin Cooper. While his wife, Anna Ritchie, admitted to holding the child down in scalding bath water, prosecutors claimed Ritchie did nothing to help his son. A point the child's maternal grandmother made to the judge prior to sentencing.
Ritchie himself asked Judge Robert Peeler to "show mercy on me" before Judge Peeler sentenced him. "I want to do good in this world for my son. Something good has to come from all this tragedy, something good has to come. I want to share my faith and my love with the youth and eventually become a full-on pastor, if you deem fit to give me mercy."
Judge Robert Peeler concurred that Ritchie did not cause his son's injuries, but wondered why he did nothing to help his child.
Ritchie's defense team took issue with the fairness in prosecuting some child death cases and not others. Frank Schiavone IV pointed to the recent hot car death of a child where no charges were filed while his client is going to prison. Prosecutor David Fornshell said that the difference was one parent had knowledge while the other did not....
Anna Ritchie is already in prison. She is serving 18 years to life for causing the injuries that killed the child.
This local article describing testimony from one of the trials in this case (there were two prior mistrials) provides some of the horrible details of the crime and concerning what the parents did and knew.
UPDATE: Ohio's statute on child endangerment is ORC Section 2919.22, and it is hardly a model of clear statutory drafting. And folks who have become familiar with Ohio's unique homicide provisions should understand why a charge/conviction under that statute was important for the Robert Richie to be subject to an involuntary manslaughter charge in this case.

Poplar (Populus), fam. Salicaceae.
In Kyiv, the Black Poplar predominates, and only sometimes there grows White Poplar – one of the most common city trees of the South-East Ukraine (three last photos). It flowers in April, and gives fruit in the end of May. For some reason in Kyiv, unlike more "civilized" places, the people who planted poplars have not thought enough about the gender of the trees, so now a lot of them are female. Strong pruning helps for several years to combat excess fruiting, but it gives rather ugly look to the trees. To be true, the poplar fluff, like pure cotton, is not an allergen; however, it mechanically irritates the mucosa, and brings dust on them, which enhances the problems people already have.
In autumn, the poplar leaves fall down one among the first. The resinous leaves, creating "tincture" in numerous waterholes, contribute to inimitable gamma of the autumn smells.
The poplar buds contain a lot of essential oils, tannins, dyes and tarry substances, and vitamin C. They have antiinflammatory, analgetic, wound-healing, antiulcer, astringent, sedative, antipyretic, sudorific, antipruritic, antibacterial and antiviral effects. The same properties pass into propolis, which is collected by the bees in spring mostly from the poplar buds.

After a couple of disappointing results, Barkby United got back on the winning trail with a five-wicket victory at defending County League champions Sileby.
The home side won the toss and batted first, but came up against an excellent opening spell from Louis Botting who broke through when Jake Gillett was caught by Steve Flowers for 16 with the score on 36.
Botting bowled five successive maidens and took his second wicket when he had Glennon caught by Flowers for 10, before finishing his 10-over spell with figures of 2 for 23.
Spinner Sharp came into the attack and had opener Torr trapped leg before for 51.
Silver came on and bowled Naik for 27, leaving Sileby on 126-4, and Sharp had Buck well caught in the slips by Tew before Ruddle was stumped by Troop (148-6).
Liam Kinch and Harry Bates put on 44 for the seventh wicket before the former was caught by Silver off Smith for an excellent 71.
Bates ended on 23 not out as Sileby closed on 244-8.
In reply, Barkby openers Tew and Botting put on 38 before Bates had Tew caught by Gillett for 13.
Botting and Hollis put on 48 for the second wicket until Buck's sharp catch off spinner Naik removed Botting for 40, a knock which included eight fours.
Steve Flowers made his intentions clear, attacking the bowling from the start and blasting nine fours and a six to bring up his 50 off 47 balls.
He was caught in the deep by Ruddle off Ellis for 69 with the score on 200, but Ben Hollis continued to play a patient innings, reaching his half-century off 108 balls.
He eventually fell, caught behind by Buck for 56, with the score on 209, but Connor Percy and Harry Funnell took Barkby to 242 when Funnell was bowled by
Smith for 18.
With only four runs required for victory, Percy (14 not out) and Silver (0 not out) saw them to their target in the 45th over.
Sileby: 244-8.
Bowling: C. Smith 10-0-60-1; L. Botting 10-5-23-2; A. Morris 10-0-70-0; C. Sharp 10-1-26-3; B. Silver 10-0-62-2.
Barkby: D. Tew 13, L. Botting 40, B. Hollis 56, S. Flowers 69, C. Percy 14*, H. Funnell 18, B. Silver 0*, Extras 36. Total: 246-5.

Leaving behind a comprehensive and valid will can increase the odds that an individual's last wishes will be honored. However, there are steps that everyone should take when creating such a document. For instance, it is important to become familiar with state law to determine what may happen if a will is determined to be invalid. Typically, that would mean that a spouse would inherit assets first followed by children and then parent's and other distant relatives.
For those with children under the age of majority, it may be a good idea to appoint a guardian as part of the will. Doing so increases the odds that the parent gets to choose who raises his or her kids. While a judge may appoint another guardian even if one is named in a will, the wishes of the parent are a large factor in choosing the person for this role.
Those who are planning on writing their own will may miss out on important benefits by doing it themselves. This may be especially true if they have large or complicated estates. For instance, those who are raising grandchildren or have children with special needs may wish to consult with an attorney prior to creating any estate planning documents.
Individuals who are considering transferring assets often have questions as to what would be the most efficacious way to do so. An estate planning attorney may be able to help draft documents such as a will or trust that will comply with applicable state laws. This may provide that individual with a better chance of having his or her last will and testament stand up to any potential legal challenges from family members or other interested third parties.

These images by Teran Elaine remind me of the happy endings part of a fairy tale. I'm sure it's the adorable little girl, dressed all in white, frolicking through the woods with a ginormous lollipop that does it. She's like a happy little Gretel, running away from the witch's house with what is left of the candy. These images are fun, and playful and oh so cute. Thanks for sharing Teran!
From Teran:
"I think that these pictures capture the SWEET personality of little girls (in general). (and oh my goodness she is CUTE) The last image of her running with a giant lollipop just sums up childhood for me. I love to incorporate bold colors and textures! Thanks so much for taking a peek!"

Scroll down to the end for more comments from Cat.
Cat's take:
These images of this adorable little girl by Teran Elaine shows us how far you can get with awesome props, incredible lighting, and an incredible backdrop. And, of course, a little girl in white: the perfect symbol of pure childhood innocence! I love how sharp each image is, allowing us to see the detail in her eyes during close-ups or the intricacy of her curls when we see her from afar. I also like the color: Teran is relying on the color already in the images, such as the green of the forest, and the bright red of the lollipop, to add their own finesse. And that's the way it should be!

FCBD19 Interview: YouNeek Creator Discusses Ancient Worlds and Expanding Youniverses
Mar 19, 2019
Much like the folks at Valiant Entertainment, the creative team behind YouNeek Studios' Malika – Fire and Frost is taking advantage of the broad range of fans who celebrate Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) to create the ultimate jumping on point for new readers!
This FCBD exclusive serves as an introduction to Malika and gives a brief overview of her story: A Warrior Queen who has been displaced in time, 500 years from what she knows, fighting a war she thought was in finished in her time and seeking a relic that holds the combined power of two ancient dragons.
Inspired by African history and mythology, creator Roye Okupe has created a superhero universe filled with African heroes that resonates with all kinds of readers. Check out our interview below with Roye to see how this FCBD title further populates that universe and how it sets up upcoming storylines. Make sure to check out the PREVIEWS Prevue of Malika – Fire and Frost at the end of the interview!
Free Comic Book Day (FCBD): Set up your title for those that might be new to your comic book: What will new readers need to know before diving into your Free Comic Book Day issue? Who are the characters and what's the storyline?
Roye Okupe: Malika - Fire & Frost is a short story in the vast world we've built in the Malika series and the YouNeek Youniverse overall. It's a story about two heroes. One [who is] a veteran and one who doesn't even know she's about to become one. It was specifically written as a jumping on point for readers new to the series as a way to whet their appetite. And trust me, once you read it, you WILL be hooked. Fans of the Malika series will also feel at home with more content from their favorite Warrior Queen.
FCBD: What did you enjoy most about writing/drawing this comic?
As the writer, what I enjoyed the most was having to write such a complex and dynamic character as Malika. Here's a Warrior Queen who has been displaced in time, 500 years from what she knows, into a world that after all these years, is not so different from what she remembers. Also, the war she thought was over in her time has now become a more complex and dangerous global problem.
FCBD: Why should people pick up this Free Comic Book Day title?
This sounds cliché but it's the truth: They have never seen anything like it before.
FCBD: What other comic books would you compare to this title? "If a comic reader likes _______ , they should pick up my title?"
The closest thing I can say is that it's sort of a mix between Game of Thrones and Black Panther.
FCBD: Looking to the future, is there anything you can tease about what's upcoming for the title and its characters?
The book serves as a tease towards the next saga (graphic novel) of the Malika series which will be titled: Malika - Fallen Queen. We also have an animated short that will be released in the summer that is inspired by the books.
FCBD: What got you into reading comics?
I actually got into comics via animation. I grew up watching awesome shows like Batman the animated series, Justice league, Ninja Turtles, Transformers, X-Men, etc. I loved these shows so much, I decided to pursue animation as a career. When that didn't go so well, I turned to comics. And immediately fell in love with the medium.
FCBD: Many newcomers will pick up comics for the first time on FCBD—what was the first comic you remember reading?
X-Men. Love at first sight!
FCBD: What are some of the titles you're reading today?
I love checking out work by independent creators. Titles like Isnana by Greg Anderson Elysee (Web Way Comics) and Niobe by Sebastian A. Jones (Stranger Comics) are awesome titles everyone should check out. In terms of mainstream, currently reading Saga and Injustice. Amazing stories!
FCBD: What is your favorite part about working in the comics industry?
Comics are inherently a team effort. These things are so hard to make and can be overwhelming at times. The best parts of working in comics are the amazing people you get to work with. People that take your ideas from good to great to awesome!
FCBD: Tell us why everyone should read comic books!
Because there is literarily a comic for EVERYONE. No matter your demographic or tastes, if you love great stories, comics have a ton for you-you can grab right now. All you have to do is visit your local comic shop.
FCBD: What is your favorite part about Free Comic Book Day?
Free Comic Book Day just shows year after year how diverse comic fans are. People from all walks of life come out to have a great time and read great books. It truly is an amazing concept!
FCBD: Where do you plan on spending Free Comic book Day?
At one of my local comic shops. Haven't decided yet though. I'm spoilt with options!

Normal as a Political Weapon: On Queer Assimilation and Pride Season/
On the surface, Pride looks like one big queer party: rainbow floats, glitter-covered city streets, disco balls, gold lamè bodysuits, and enough liquor to leave most of us strung-out well past the Fourth of July. But, really, Pride is more than a drunken celebration of queer voices, bodies, and lives; it also commemorates the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, the riot that acted as a catalyst for a nation-wide gay liberation movement. Pride month, then, is as much about celebrating as it is about reflecting on what "gay liberation" means to queer people today.
More than a moment to be memorialized, "liberation" implies an ongoing political battle, enmeshed with various other struggles, among them: the struggle for black lives; the modern women's movements, movements against capitalism, poverty, and imperialism; and movements for transgender visibility. Queer (as opposed to "gay") liberation is complex and multi-faceted. The numbers of people, politics, and identities that fall under the modern LGBTQ+ umbrella inevitably clash and battle with one another, especially during Pride month—a time when queers from drastically different backgrounds protest, dance, drink, and throw glitter bombs together.
"A large contingency of the LGBTQ community has no pressing desire to challenge convention: they want privately owned homes, well-paying jobs, monogamous marriages, successful children, and the respect of the majority."
One of the most hotly contested parts of Pride season is the debate about the gradual mainstreaming of Pride festivals and, by extension, certain queer identities. As Pride grows, it is becoming increasingly corporatized—multi-million-dollar companies like Target and General Mills are rolling out specialty products for queer consumers who want to wear, sip, and eat Pride the Brand. And police, long antagonistic and violent towards queer communities (particularly queer communities of color), now walk alongside Pride participants in many major Pride events. As a result, the radical, anti-establishment tactics that fueled the Stonewall Riots and many other gay liberation protests have been sanitized by the light-hearted, expensive festivities that make up Pride today. But many attendants don't so much mind Pride's mainstream appeal. According to some, the freedom to conform is a form of liberation.
In liberal politics, most discourse surrounding "LGBTQ+ rights" focuses on the rights of queer people to assimilate into existing sexual and social schemas and be seen as "equal" to most heterosexual people. Gay marriage rights, rhetoric that claims sexuality and gender identity are primarily biological/fixed, and the corporatization and sanitation of Pride all speak to queer people and movements that desire to fit within the status quo. Assimilationists, as some theorists have called proponents of queer assimilation, might desire for straight friends, family members, and the state at large to see their identities as fundamentally similar to the identities of heterosexual people. To them, being queer isn't necessarily a political imperative or a conscious act of dissent, it's incidental—a part of their humanness. And why not? A large contingency of the LGBTQ community has no pressing desire to challenge convention: they want privately owned homes, well-paying jobs, monogamous marriages, successful children, and the respect of the majority. Considering the major victories assimilationists have won politically and culturally, living a "normal" life while queer is possible for more and more of us. And since being labeled as "deviant" confers crushing disadvantages, becoming "normal" is more than enticing.
"We who have the most clout in straight society share a political imperative to stand with those queers who have the least. "
But what of the queers who can't—or don't want to—assimilate? There are those of us who believe that "queer liberation" necessarily means freedom from all axes of oppression, which also means standing in solidarity with the people most "othered" by society and the state against the institutions that have marginalized them. This could mean advocating against police at Pride because of the way police have brutalized black and brown people and censured queer expressions of sexuality and gender, even if their presence makes some attendees feel safer. It could also mean critiquing (or rejecting) marriage and monogamy because of the way those institutions have perpetuated misogyny and heterosexism in society broadly, even though queer people might personally enjoy being married or monogamous. Essentially, arguments against assimilation are rooted in the belief that institutions that are fundamentally oppressive and exclusionary cannot be adequately reformed. Queer anti-assimilationists seek alternatives to existing norms; specifically, alternatives that challenge heteronormativity and the prescriptive moral and ethical codes that are enforced on society from the top down. They recognize that conformity is a social construction and make the point that it is also a political weapon. Sure enough, as Pride celebrations become more mainstream and "gay rights" make legal headway, some members of the community do fear losing their elevated status via contamination with less "normal" queers.
For instance, in a CNN comment thread about a transgender father who gave birth to a child, one commenter who self-identified as a gay man called the father's experience "unnatural" and blamed gender-nonconforming trans people for the prevailing belief that the queer community is mentally ill (his insults were then "liked" by dozens of other commentators). Of course, just a few decades ago homosexuality was widely considered to be a mental illness and gay parenthood was deemed "unnatural" or outright criminal. As this rhetoric has changed or, more aptly, adjusted to new targets, some of the very people who once had cause to rally against it are internalizing it and projecting it back outward. In the above example, the relative amount of "normalcy" the gay male commentator has achieved possibly entitles him to join in on the policing and gaslighting of queer people who still challenge norms about gender and sex. This entitlement is a political problem. Though the LGBTQ+ community is more visibly diverse than ever before, its most marginalized and least marginalized members lack political solidarity, leaving a great deal of queer people feeling underserved and unwanted by the public-face of the liberation movement.
If you ask me, corporatized Pride celebrations that cater mostly to the primarily white, cisgender, and middle class gay men and women who have led the "queer assimilation" front in liberal politics are a far cry from queer liberation. However, even as a critic of assimilation, I sympathize with people who genuinely want the right to be apart of experiences and institutions that long excluded them. As I said before, being labeled "deviant" has crushing disadvantages: rejection from friends and family, increased vulnerability to violence, discrimination in jobs and housing, etc. Assimilating is easier, and safer too. But some queer people—particularly gender-nonconforming and trans people of color—do not have an easy path towards assimilation. Their identities are often, in and of themselves, a blunt challenge to heteronormativity, white supremacy, and cissexism. And their welfare is not being addressed by liberal politics. That is why even those of us who personally desire the trappings of "normalcy" must still be willing to stand against prescriptive moral and ethical codes that deem some expressions of queerness acceptable or "normal" while villainizing others. We who have the most clout in straight society share a political imperative to stand with those queers who have the least. If we believe that Pride is as much about liberation as it is about celebration, we must recognize that conditional acceptance is not enough, especially when it is granted at the expense of queer people who have been continually excluded from mainstream. Though it is not necessary or possible for us all to want the same things, our collective liberation requires a collective recognition that the right to "stand out" is even more essential than the right to "fit in."

Brain studies reveal the mechanisms of the voluntary control of visual attention
Neuroscientists at Duke University have mapped the timing and sequence of neural activations that unfold in the brain when people focus their attention on specific locations in their visual fields. The findings may point the way for clinicians to address attention-related problems, said study team member Marty Woldorff, associate director of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience and an associate professor in psychiatry.
"There are a number of clinical syndromes where attention is dysfunctional, including schizophrenia, autism and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder," Woldorff said. "Moreover, attentional capabilities change during normal and abnormal aging." The findings appear in the January 2007 issue of the journal Public Library of Science (PLoS) Biology.

TOPSHAM — A federal jury ruled Monday in favor of School Administrative District 75 in a dispute over whether a special education student had a right under the First Amendment to wear a recording device in school.
The trial began June 6 in U.S. District Court in Portland.
Matthew Pollack and his wife, Jane Quirion, sued SAD 75 in March 2013 for allegedly violating their son's constitutional rights, in part as an appeal of a decision in favor of SAD 75 that resulted from a due process hearing the prior October.
"We are considering our options at this point," Pollack said in an email Tuesday. Those options include filing motions in U.S. District Court to ask the court to enter a judgment, despite the jury verdict, or to reconsider the judgment.
The case may also be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston.
The couple's son, now 18, has autism and a language disorder, is nonverbal and has "very limited expressive communication skills," according an April 28 order by U.S. Chief District Judge Nancy Torresen. Because he is unable to communicate what happens during the school day, his parents have wanted him to be able to wear a recording device in school, a request the School Department rejected.
The verdict backs a SAD 75 prohibition on students wearing recording devices, and marks "a significant decision for students and teachers in our district, state and country," Superintendent Brad Smith said in a statement Tuesday.
"I appreciate the tireless dedication of our teachers, administrators and support staff, who despite years of litigation, have continued to provide a first-class education to the student in this matter, and to all students in our district," Smith added. "One of our responsibilities as educators is to protect the rights of all students under our care. Another obligation is to maintain a productive and positive learning environment. That is what has taken place in this case."
The superintendent also noted that SAD's special education staff "believed very strongly that the use of a recording device throughout the day on one child would have negatively impacted his education as well as the education of other students."
Pollack and his wife have claimed their son has the right under the Americans with Disabilities Act to wear a recorder, and a First Amendment right to record government officials in a public place.
The First Amendment right applies to recording teachers, since they are public employees working in a public building, Pollack said in 2013.
He and his wife have wanted the right to be able to have their son record his days, he explained, "so we can know what happens to him at school." He said SAD 75 denied that request on grounds that its teachers and other faculty have a "legitimate expectation of privacy" concerning what they do and say around students.
The parents' request was triggered by an incident in February 2012, when Quirion, who was picking her son up at school, watched him run out of the building and to their vehicle, Pollack said. He then cried for more than an hour, which Pollack said was uncharacteristic.
Not satisfied with answers they received from staff about why their son had acted that way, the couple asked that he be allowed to wear the recording device.
"We don't fully trust the school district to tell us everything that happens to him," Pollack said, noting that he and his wife accept that people at school should be advised that their son is wearing the device, and that their request applies to classrooms, not to teachers' private offices.
"The law says there's no expectation of privacy in a classroom," Pollack said.

China's most serious challenge to us isn't what you expect
Beijing, China'—Let me tell you what I think will be China's greatest challenge to our country in the upcoming years.
I am sitting here in the student cafeteria at Tsinghua University in Beijing. I am eating a tasty lunch meal of dishes chosen from hundreds of possibilities in the modern cafeteria line. Meats, rice, soup, cabbage, dumplings, a big bottle of beer and more. I paid for all of this quickly and efficiently with an electronic card that I purchased for about $1.20. I have almost enough credit left on the card to buy a similar meal tomorrow.
Surrounding me are mobs of college students, moving through the line, chatting enthusiastically with their colleagues. Except for the chopsticks everybody is using, there is little difference here from the modern Rams Head Dining Hall that opened this spring on the Carolina campus.
I am spending two weeks in this country as a part of a Working Language program offered by UNC-Chapel Hill's Kenan-Flagler Business School. In addition to language classes, we are visiting businesses, factories, sales outlets and markets in various parts of the country. And we are staying in the homes of Chinese families, talking with them, and with Kenan-Flagler alumni about China's aspirations and possibilities.
The older areas of downtowns in major cities like Shanghai and Beijing have been torn apart and replaced by modern skyscrapers that light up the skies at night. Inside those buildings, new businesses are sprouting up. On the streets the pace is fast.
On some street corners in the big towns, and even in the western city of Xi'an, I have inspected circus-tent-sized kiosks that offer high-priced, luxury real estate homes for purchase by those who can afford them. I am staying in one of these newer homes, a part of a housing development that was recently built for Tsinghua University faculty members '— to attract and retain them to the university. So, I can testify that, for those who can afford them, the conveniences and comfort of these new homes match up to the highest American standards.
Outside the cities, well-planned industrial parks are eating up former agricultural land. We visited a new printing plant, equipped with fast German machinery and overstocked with low-wage, hard-working employees. The managers talked to us about the competitive environment and how they must be efficient and profitable to survive. I saw a lot of English pages coming off the presses.
In the Suzhou silk region near Shanghai, we visited a 'silk factory.' But as the manager explained, traditional silk manufacturing companies are mostly bankrupt. His restructured firm has located in a new industrial park in modern spacious buildings. The firm is equipped with brand new machines from Japan. They weave Celanese, US-made, rayon threads into '"lining'" for jackets and suits. Their products are rolling out the door.
In downtown Shanghai, we visited a government-sponsored center designed especially to connect prospective foreign purchasers with the Chinese businesses. The center has a database of Chinese companies anxious to fill the foreign company's orders or help design a product for manufacture in China. '"Just tell us what you want, and we will put you in touch,'" he told us. Then, as we heard over and over, he said, '"China is the world's factory.'"
'"But,'" he added, '"we don't want any more Wal-Marts. It drives the prices down so low; we can't make a good profit. We are looking for nice foreigners who will pay a fair price.'"
With all these visits running around in my head and seeing the energy and competitive spirit of Chinese people in every market place, it would be easy enough to come to the conclusion that China's main challenge to our country is in becoming the '"world's factory.'" And there is no doubt that China is gaining strength from its growing productive capabilities, ones that other countries are losing. Their growing '"world factory's'" needs are driving up the costs of the energy resources and raw materials so high that some Americans will no longer be able to afford them.
But, sitting in this Tsinghua University student cafeteria, I am more worried about the challenge represented by the hundreds of Chinese university students who surround me. China has learned a lesson from us '— a lesson that we seem to be forgetting. It is this: Invest in education. Offer the highest level of education as widely as possible. Give access to the talented and energetic. Give them the skills to contribute and earn, using their brains.
On another part of the Tsinghua campus, brand new buildings house schools of business, law, engineering, and science research. Thousands of modern and very attractive housing units are springing up to serve a growing population of scholars, teachers, and students.
If these investments in education and research produce the same dividends that our country is enjoying from its commitment during the last century, then 15 or 20 years from now China will be the new leader in the high-wage brainpower jobs. When it takes brainpower leadership away from us, we will be in real trouble.
But, maybe after their better-educated workers have taken those high-wage jobs from us, we will find a niche again as a low-wage manufacturing economy again. Maybe a few years down the road we can become a '"world factory'" for the Chinese, again using low-wage workers to produce low-cost products that the educated, high-wage Chinese will buy from us.

I am the kind of person/girl/woman that likes a challenge; the kind of person that is goal oriented and the kind of person that responds well to routine torture and torment by trainers (just kidding, Tony and Trina!). Seriously, the aforementioned traits have made me the perfect guinea pig. On my first visit to CrossFitStation (more than a year ago) I was thinking about signing up for some personal training. Trina convinced me that I might want to try a WOD. I tried and I was hooked, and within a few weeks I was sort of an addict, a regular junkie. I was challenged, I was setting new goals and I was having a great time. Every workout is achallenge and every week I am adding to my never-ending list of goals (Pistols, Burpees, Kipping pull-ups, Toes to bar, Knees to elbows, Box jumps, Double-unders, Rope-climbs, Overhead squats, Cleans, Deadlifts, Presses, Snatches, HSPUs, etc.). I belong in the "masters" category, but Tony and Trina never let that get in the way of my ongoing desire to keep showing up and working hard (they don't let me wimp out just because I'm old).
My original goal in coming to CFS was "to work on strength". In a few months I had exceeded my expectations. It works for me because I have fun (see above), I get my workout done early and I get to hang out with other people that have a similar workout philosophy. One of the many cool things about a workout is how good it feels to finish a WOD. The combination of complex movements coupled with the task of counting and the focus on actually getting through the workout is intense (especially at 5 am). In other words, CrossFit makes my brain feel really good. I go to work feeling energized and I spread my enthusiasm around at my office where I am a Podiatrist in a group Podiatry practice.
When I started at "The Station" my workout routine was in a rut. I was running/jogging regularly but I was not doing anything else. As I have already mentioned, I quickly became extremely enthusiastic about my new workout routine. Weeks turned into months and before long my CrossFit workouts exceeded my running workouts. I found that my running actually improved and I finished the Race to Robie Creek with a faster time than the year before.
Fortunately I have a very supportive family that was/is willing to put up with my workout agenda (early hours and nearly nonstop attendance). Over time my enthusiasm has spread to the rest of my family. My son (Gabe) was first. He started showing up at the Station regularly during his first summer break from college. Eventually my husband (Stan) and my teenage daughter (Jillian) came over to the CrossFit side and they show up @ The Station when they can. It is very rewarding for me to have my entire family involved in something that I enjoy!
One last thing:
Tony and Trina are the main reason I stuck with CrossFit. Not only are they wonderful trainers, they are also fantastic individuals. They know how to motivate their clients and how to make a tough workout fun. They know how to laugh and how to cry; they know how to give and how to receive. They care about their clients, they care about their community, and they care about each other. As a self-employed business owner, I know that it can be tough to show up every day and put on a happy face. They always manage to do the right thing. And oh, by the way, Tony is the #5 masters level CrossFitter in the world. Way to go, Tony! Way to go!

About a year ago, I received a call from my agent saying that I had been cast in a film called "Just Let Go". Based on the book by Chris Williams, it's the true story of his family who was killed in a car accident by a teenage drunk driver and how Chris, ultimately made the decision to forgive the young man who was driving.
My character, Jillian was a co-worker with not only advice for Chris, but also had romantic interest in him. I prepared my character and walked on to set on the film's last day of shooting. I was told the energy on set so far had been intense and quite somber because of the content of the film, but since my scenes were a bit less serious I was able to see the cast and crew get quite goofy, as weeks of filming were coming to a close.
When we filmed my scene with Henry Ian Cusick who played Chris Williams, we were able to improvise and play a little . . . usually, there's not enough time for such antics =) Film is funny in that if you're a day player, you usually meet your co-workers that day and then get down to business. So, we had to figure out our 'relationship' right on set, pretty much while the camera was rolling. How much was I going to come on to him? In what way? What was too much, and what wasn't enough?
I have to admit, I wish I had had more scenes just so I could've hung out more with Brenda Vaccaro! While I didn't get to meet her on set, I met her at the screening - and man, she is as full of life on screen as she is off! She played Chris's mother and was the perfect amount of comic relief for a film so serious.
This is Chris William's himself! His story of forgiveness is quite incredible and heart wrenching. I was not only moved by his capability to forgive but also about the notion of what forgiveness actually is.
It was mentioned the night of the screening in a question and answer session afterwards that forgiveness is not a feeling. It's a decision. It's a decision that often requires action and that most times, needs to be made over and over, until there is enough healing that can take the place of the pain. I have often thought that forgiveness is what happens once there's has already been healing.
I want to give props to Chris Clark as well as Patrick Henry Parker, the directors of this film. They had such amazing drive and fortitude to get the movie finished and were completely gracious with everyone involved. Thank you for choosing to make this story come to life and for bringing me on to participate in such a small way!

Extra resources for PC Gamer (June 2010)
RH: actually, I'd like to discuss gameplay. What Valve does so good in HL2 is let gameplay to inform a narrative with out intrusive cutscenes. should you input urban 17 via educate for the 1st time, you're part of the town; hopeless refugees react for your presence and outdated acquaintances like Barney come to lifestyles with endearing tales and quips. each shot fired is part of the story—that wade through Ravenholm, or your stand with Alyx on the White woodland hotel are the most well-paced and remarkable strive against reviews ever designed. Rocketing the military of Striders off their twiggy, tripod legs in EP2's ultimate conflict is the main exhilarating and difficult boss struggle I've ever performed in an FPS. EL: Are you critical? TF2's characters are piles of character, strengthened by means of their goofy accents and certain mechanics. Bottom-line, although: no different Valve video game has got the post-launch aid that TF2 has. If we're speaking basically by way of the uncooked resources, attempt and content material extra to ensure it remains correct, TF2 is the larger, higher video game. In a hundred and twenty patches, Valve has brought new online game modes, rewritten the center mechanics of its personality sessions, released world-class maps like cp_gorge, created Pixar-quality lively vignettes, built-in a crafting process and held vacation occasions and propaganda paintings contests. It represents the head of what notebook improvement could be: video games as systems that adjust with their shoppers. EL: I do recognize the pacing and tech; HL2 obtained loads mileage from its physics—ragdoll results and the gravity gun. yet TF2's sound is so underappreciated for a way a lot details it distributes. i believe it's essentially the most profitable platforms we've ever noticeable within the style: a pipe bomb clink or Scout's taunt instantly conveys probability. and that i love the distinction for participant psychology RH: HL2 isn't a platform like TF2 is since it Valve brings to TF2: each category has its personal set What approximately doesn't have to be. As a single-player experiof particular silhouettes and behaviors. This Portal? It's a gem, ence, HL2 doesn't require a similar mainsounds sensational, yet it's such an accombut our consensus is tenance TF2 does. even if, in the event that your arguplishment to create a tradition of multiplayer that extra of it truly is spent ment is loss of aid for HL2, we want gaming; one that's wrapped in humor and educating you strategies glance no extra than Episodes 1 and a couple of. As sustained through Valve's consistent attempt. than letting you act expansions to an already powerful video game, creatively. they function either mechanical and visible RH: It's effortless to be captivated via whatever enhancements that, by way of dossier measurement, a ways exceed that's consistently altering. HL2 stands as a what TF2 has to supply. monolith of what computing device gaming may be, and it didn't desire a hundred and twenty updates to get there. In basically EL: ... And it's been 3 years and counting because the comparable kingdom it used to be in at release, HL2 represents brilEpisode 2. I don't imagine we will be able to pass judgement on how nice a online game is liance in thought of layout, memorable moments of completely at the adventure hung on the disc and exclude extreme emotion, unique storytelling and personality Valve's mishandling of HL2 after release: it easily subtlety that any gamer can realize as different doesn't recognize what to do with the sport.

5 Ways To Engage In Cultural Exchange While Living Abroad
Cultural exchange and the opportunity for slow travel are the two main reasons why I'm a big advocate for living abroad. Soon, I'll be into my third international home (Italy <- Lithuania <- China <- Connecticut, US), and in each home, I've tried to immerse myself in the culture as well as share a bit of the US with friends.
There are rampant misconceptions about culture coming from both locals (no matter the country) and foreigners (no matter where we are coming from), so the opportunity to exchange cultures is so important to create acceptance and understanding, and to eliminate prejudices. I've certainly received some interesting comments about being American -- everything from you're not fat to an explanation of Easter (I'm Greek-American, I celebrate Easter) -- but even the smallest interactions can help to provide new perspectives.
Below are a few of the ways that I've engaged in cultural exchange during my years abroad.
1. Barbecues
What is more American than a barbecue? Great food, beers all around, and lots of laughter -- barbecues are a great way to enjoy the sunshine and share culture with friends. I've enjoyed barbecues in China with friends and colleagues as well as here in Vilnius.
If barbecues aren't your thing, how about cooking a meal? Sure, it can be difficult to find the exact ingredients from home, but it is often fun to figure out how to make do. I mean, check me out cooking burgers in a wok on a hot plate!
2. Exchange of Knowledge
In China and want to learn to make jiaozi? Ask your roommates, find a cooking class, or ask a friend to teach you. In China, my friend bought a little oven and asked me to teach her to make cookies. I went out and purchased all the ingredients and we had a great night baking cookies with sprinkles, Sichuan peppers, and chocolate. It was awesome.
Other than cooking, language exchange is a valuable means for share culture as well. Even just learning words here and there can introduce new aspects of a culture.
Here in Lithuania, one of J's colleagues offered to take us mushroom picking. It was awesome to learn which species of mushrooms were edible and which should be avoided. We also learned about cooking mushrooms and dishes that were best with mushrooms. Being open to new experiences and an exchange of knowledge is so important while traveling and living abroad. Imagine what you might experience during your next trip!
Here in Vilnius, I also took several pottery classes as well as a felt slipper making class, and although these classes were short, meeting up with the local teachers and learning traditional crafts is super valuable.
3. Sharing Travel Tips
I love learning about local spots for travel. Obviously, locals are the best sources for nearby getaways, especially those that are usually affordable.
Along the same lines, traveling together with friends is a great way to learn about cultures. One of my favorite trips of all time was visiting Fu Xian Lake with my friends and their families. This lake is one of the deepest in China and is pretty much unknown to foreign tourists. This hidden gem has amazing food, cheap accommodations, and fun activities -- and I would have never learned about it without learning about it from locals.
4. Holidays, Celebrations
Holidays, birthdays, celebrations, graduations, and any other joyous or sorrowful day is important to pay attention, learn about, and perhaps even celebrate in your own way. Sharing your own cultural celebrations and holidays are also important.
For example, here in Vilnius Jeremy and some friends threw me a baby shower, inviting international and local friends even though baby showers aren't a thing here Lithuania. It was fun to experience this with friends.
5. Talk and Listen
Take any opportunity you can to listen, absorb, and ask questions about the culture you are living in. While in China, I remember a conversation with a hairdresser about if everyone in America had brown curly hair just like mine. At first I was so surprised by the question, but I realized that I was possibly the first American he had met and definitely the first who could speak Mandarin. I explained that no, America was full of so many different people with skin and hair of all different color. That every nationality could be found in America including some of the ethnic minorities he was familiar with in Yunnan. It was cool to make this connection during a simple thing like a hair cut.
Imagine taking part in simple cultural exchanges like engaging with someone in a market, chatting with a hairdresser, or learning a new skill. Imagine how these experiences can open your mind and those who you engage with.
How else do you engage in cultural exchange while traveling or living abroad?

It's hard, ya know, looking back. It's hard to think of the years that have gone past. I accidentally stumbled on a movie I made for LB for his birthday. I was at work and was trying to watch a video about arch welding (exciting stuff)! But, for some reason, the Lord decided I needed to stop for a minute and have some reflection time. And, he was right. Brayden and I have tough days... which I am sure is completely normal. He's 2 - enough said! He spends most days learning what his limits are. Be it, giving his independence a try or to see how far he can push his mama's patience. I often stop myself and say out loud to him,"You are lucky you're cute!" We have been getting along so wonderfully, lately. He is still a stinker but we are both so happy. This video - I will post if I can figure out how - It covers ultrasound pictures, belly bump (really big belly bumps) to tiny baby, to not so tiny baby, to toddler. All I can do is ask myself, "When did all of this happen? Where did my baby go?" Each passing day has me holding for dear life onto that little boy. I ask him daily if he can please just stop where he is at. I have been asking him since he was just a bump in my belly, "I will NEVER ask for anything from you in my entire life if you can just do one thing for me. Please, don't grow up. Stay perfect and tiny and with your mom FOREVER!"
It reminds me of a story I heard. A lady I worked with was visiting her daughters collage campus. The daughter said to her mom' "I think I want to live on campus, instead of commute." Then mom looks at her daughter nodding in agreement. "That's fine. Let's talk to your dad and start looking at 2 bedroom apartments." Daughter looks at her mom, confused. "Two bedroom?" Mom saying profoundly, "well yes. There has to be enough room for the both of us!" B and I will be having that same discussion some day. Where ever he goes, I will just go too! I can't wait to see how that works out!
So. As much as I ache, long, cry, beg, plead for him to stay little. I know deep down I am just as excited to see all of the things he will do. And, with each new event in his life I will pray for a freeze frame hoping to hold onto that moment for just a little longer. Those times in my life will keep me looking back at how far we have come and what a blessed life we have. How truly fortunate we are to have eachother and our family. We will keep moving forward with a semi-reluctant smile and looking back with tears in our eyes.

Glass block installations are a subtle way of increasing the homeowner's privacy without using extra locks, doors, or shutters. Glass blocks are mostly used for walls and windows, and are specifically constructed to decrease visibility. If you are looking for a more subtle way to increase your privacy and security without making drastic changes on your interior design, Saddle River Window Installation can attach new window installations for you.
What are Glass Blocks?
A glass blocks are a type of window that is produced like most glass panes, except it is thicker and the glass itself has grids and a frostier surface that obscures the view. This simple window installation can still allow natural light in a room. It may not provide the brightness you would expect from larger window types but it gets the job done and takes up very little space. Glass block installations are commonly seen in bathrooms as this is one of the rooms that need privacy the most.
The glass block installation has been around since the 1900's and was initially used to direct natural light into factories. Initially, though, glass block installations were attached to ceilings as a type of skylight. Some residents also chose thin panels of glass blocks on their walls for smaller window installations that could still bring light into the room. Entrepreneurs and other corporations needed a sturdy window installation that could conceal production and other confidential, business related activities, which prompted them to make use of a glass block installation for the place. It wasn't intended for residential use but its energy efficiency and full functionality made people sit up and take notice. It wasn't long until it became the prime choice in commercial architecture, mostly because of its translucence and durability.
Benefits of Glass Blocks
Glass block installations are a great window replacement for both residential and commercial spaces. Made of thick glass that can withstand severe weather and impact, it is also easy to clean and does not need any type of hardware. It is a fixed window type that allows natural light to illuminate a room while still concealing certain parts.
You can get creative with glass block installations by selecting attractive patterns and colors. A window with a simple silhouette does not mean you are limited to its basic silhouette. Saddle River Window Installation can pattern your glass block windows however you wish. Glass block window installations don't have to be so structured - some architects make specifications for glass blocks to follow a certain shape or pattern: curved, uneven, ascending, etc. You can customize the width and height and even have a particular design etched on the outline of this window installation. Window replacement can be a fun project if you select the details carefully and incorporate your own style into it. Personalize even the simplest window type for a refreshing change.

Thinner window panes are more prone to cracks. When temperature shifts drastically, it affects the glass and causes it to expand, making it too large for the frame to contain. This pressure results in cracks on the glass surface and could eventually lead to worse damage. When attempting to temporarily fix such a problem, it could lead to more harm such as hurting yourself from sharp glass, or causing the surface to break completely.
