By Daniel Heimpel
As the country braces itself for election season's pitched partisanship, a group of federal lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have found common ground on critical legislation that promises to streamline information exchange between education and foster care.
The Access to Papers Leads to Uninterrupted Scholars Act (A+ Act), introduced today by U.S. Reps. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Tom Marino (R-Pa.) and Jim McDermott (D --Wash.), would eliminate longstanding tension between the protection of personal student records and federal mandates on public foster care agencies. The aim: to help ensure educational stability and success for foster youth.
For experts, advocates and administrators, the new legislation is an opportunity to change the way foster care and education work together towards the shared goal of improving educational outcomes for foster youth. Further, the A+ Act would allow for inter-agency data sharing, which experts agree would increase the chance of successful interventions to improve the dismaying educational outcomes students in foster care face.
A comprehensive fact sheet on educational outcomes for foster youth, compiled by the National Workgroup on Foster Care and Education, provides a clear picture of just how poorly these students perform compared to their peers. About half of students in foster care completed high school by age 18, compared with 70 percent of the general population, according to a review of multiple studies. And research shows college completion rates for foster youth range anywhere from one to nine percent, far lower than the census estimate of 28 percent of people in the general population who hard earned at least a four-year degree by age 25.
"When are we going to quit talking about stats and start implementing the solutions that put our [foster] kids on par with their peers," says Mary Cagle, the Director of Children's Legal Services for Florida's Department of Children and Families.
It was only two months ago that Cagle had an opportunity to make the case for doing just that. During a roundtable discussion organized by members of the recently launched Congressional Caucus on Foster Youth in Miami-Dade County on March, 31st, she argued for amending the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) to allow child welfare administrations easier access to educational records.
"I know we are here to talk about all of the positive things we are doing in the foster care system and share best practices," Cagle said while seated alongside leaders from Florida's child-serving agencies and Congressional Caucus Members Karen Bass, Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) and Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.). "But I really asked to be put on the agenda because you have the federal laws and there is a conflict really between FERPA and the Social Security Act."
FERPA requires parental consent before any release of educational records and has strict protocols on when that information can be shared. On the flip side, you have Title IV-E of the Social Security Act, which dictates the responsibilities of foster care.
In 2008, the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act stiffened mandates on child welfare administrations to ensure, whenever possible, foster youth are not bumped from school to school as they bounce from home to home, and that -- if a move is in the best interest of the child -- his or her records are transferred in a timely manner.
As foster care agencies across the country tried to live up to the law's mandates, they kept bumping up against FERPA, which compels schools and school districts to jump through time-consuming hoops before releasing data critical to social workers.
"Education is one of the biggest indicators for the happiness of our kids, so we really want the federal government to take a look at the tension in this law," Cagle said during the Florida meeting.
Gesturing toward the binders sitting in front of each of the assembled Members of Congress, she added, "you will see there is a draft of legislation and it is so simple, so easy and so clear, all it does is put the child welfare agency into FERPA as one of the exceptions they already have."
Rep. Hastings then interjected, saying, "Let's file it when we go back," igniting a round of applause in the crowded room.
"That would be " Cagle started. "You all will have changed the world for us, let me tell you."
Beyond the delays to the practical information that can inform casework and improve children's lives, the robust data sharing that fuels deep, policy-changing research is also often slowed down, said Teri Kook, Child Welfare Director or the California-based Stuart Foundation, which has funded numerous projects and research focusing on the intersection of foster care and education. The Foundation is currently supporting a huge data match between California's Department of Social Services and the Department of Education, which will reveal yet-unknown nuances in how students in foster care are faring.
Kook said that FERPA has delayed the process by 18 months. "If FERPA were changed we would have the data in our hands and would be using it to improve the situation on the ground for students and their families," she said.
Cheryl Smithgall, a research fellow at Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago, has conducted some of the most widely disseminated and detailed research on the education of foster children and other at-risk youth. Under FERPA, records can be released to researchers studying ways to improve instruction, administration of student aid or predictive tests. The A+ Act would expand the research exception to, "child welfare agencies for the purposes of assessing policies and practices intended to improve educational outcomes for students in foster care."
Until now, researchers have had to "work around" FERPA by either tailoring their requests to the educational exceptions laid out in the law, or by having social workers manually input data they collect into separate data sets.
"The change in this language in FERPA is essential in being able to develop the right interventions," Smithgall said.
In the two months since the Florida event, the Congressional Caucus on Foster Youth has been hard at work drafting the A+ Act that -- if passed -- will resolve the tension between FERPA and the Social Security Act highlighted in Cagle's plea.
Rep. Bass said that the Caucus moved so quickly on this legislation because Cagle's remarks provided a "specific solution."
"This was an issue waiting to be resolved," Bass said. "The thought had already been put in, all we did was take advantage of the thinking and the work that was in place. I think congressional members are always interested in removing barriers, especially with something like this that does not cost."
Building off a body of published work largely produced by individual member organizations under the umbrella of the National Working Group on Foster Care and Education, the Act proposes three key changes to FERPA.
- Currently, child welfare agencies have to produce a court order to access a foster child's educational records. The act would eliminate this hurdle by giving the agencies the same access as parents.
- Additionally, the act would allow child welfare agencies to conduct studies related to the implementation of federal mandates concerning the educational stability and success of students in foster care.
- Finally, A + would eliminate the need to give parents duplicative notice when records are released. Currently, child welfare workers need to provide a court order to have educational records released by schools. As biological parents are parties to the case, such a notification becomes duplicative. More importantly it creates an additional barrier to accessing records, further slowing down the process and thus affecting children.
"I'm proud to join my colleagues from both sides of the aisle on this common sense legislation to promote educational stability among foster youth," said A + co-sponsor, Rep. Bachmann in a statement provided to The Chronicle. "Long before I was a member of Congress, I was advocating for educational stability for foster children. Over the years, my husband and I cared for 23 foster kids, and we witnessed serious weaknesses in the educational system as it applied to them."
Co-Sponsor, Rep. Marino has deep personal experience with foster care, having recently taken a foster youth into his home.
"To put it succinctly, this law un-complicates an already complicated system," Marino said. "This is the tip of the iceberg," he said of the Caucus' work. "We have to let the public know how the foster care system is working and how it is not working, and that fixing it is not all that complicated."

Resource overhead of another instance (system temp tablespace memory etc) Support requirements
Conectivity between the 2 instances via db_links although if theye are on the same server network traffic is negated
Upgrade paths can be different which is especially important when different vendors are involved Service Level Agreements are easier to manage No performance impact from one application on the other as far as Oracle is concerned (still need to monitor O/S) Backup strategy - hot cold, archivelog etc can be different as necessary Tuning can be more specific for each vendor app especially instance wide from the init.ora parameter

Hi list,
I have two applications running against one database (in fact I have a few but for the sake of this question two are enough). The two apps have different upgrade patterns and I would like to split them in two databases that will be on the same unix server. There are some views that are used extensively that join data from both apps/schemas, and after the split those should be made using db links. I did some tests and comparisons of queries going through links versus running them directly on the database, and did not see a lot of difference.
Does anybody see or know of any downside in splitting the database in two :-(. And any advantage :-). What is the general strategy when installing different apps (from different vendors) - put them on separate databases or combining them.

"Linda Gray was my favorite female co-star," he said. "She was the greatest leading lady I've ever worked with. She was here for 12 years. There was a lot of electricity and a lot of subtle work between us. We would always find pieces of the story that weren't written into the script. She was the best (female co-star) so far in my life, but hopefully there'll be others."
As has frequently been the case with the series, three major characters have been added to the cast for this season. Kimberly Foster turned up last Friday as April Stevens' sister, the show's new femme fatale ; Michael Wilding debuted as an art dealer who will develop a romantic interest in J.R.'s wife, and Sasha Mitchell will soon be introduced as a man who claims to be J.R.'s 21-year-old illegitimate son.
Hagman, who since last season has been co-executive producer of "Dallas" with Leonard Katzman, is upbeat about this season's story and glad to be rid of some of his character's vulnerabilities that surfaced last year.
Apparently gone are scenes such as one last season when J.R., while traveling in Vienna, atypically rebuffed the advances of a glamorous European aristocrat who had been his former lover. The oilman's philandering had been tempered by his marriage to a much younger woman, played by Cathy Podewell.

Sunday night's running of the world's richest mile race, the Group 1 HK$16 million HKJC Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Mile (1600m) at Sha Tin saw a brilliant performance from Beauty Flash to take the Group 1 honours.
Drawing the widest barrier of 14 for the coveted Group 1 mile, Beauty Flash (Golan x Wychwood Rose) jumped well in the hands of Melbourne Cup winning jockey Gerald Mosse, settling right on the pace behind race leader and fellow Kiwi bred Sight Winner.
Coming into the straight, Mosse made his move ranging up to Sight Winner and taking the lead at the 300 metres. Looking strong, French contender Sahpresa looked a real danger as she loomed up at the 150 metre mark, but Mosse rated Beauty Flash brilliantly and the gelding produced another gear to hold off the challengers and record a career best win.
Trained by Hong Kong's six-time champion jockey Anthony Cruz, the five-year-old notched up his seventh win in the Hong Kong Mile, taking his stakes earnings to over NZ$3.5 million.
The Group 1 win was the second for his sire Golan, and the first Group 1 winner for Champion New Zealand sire Volksraad as a broodmare sire. The win also capped off a successful year for Windsor Park Stud who stood Golan and of course outstanding young sire High Chaparral.
Bred by Windsor Park Stud, Beauty Flash was bought by Mr D O'Donnell from Halidon Hill for $65,000 from the 2007 Karaka Select Yearling Sale. The son of Golan is New Zealand Bloodstock's fourth individual Group 1 winner this season, with graduates winning nine Group 1 races in three countries around the globe.
Beauty Flash was one of four New Zealand bred winners at Sha Tin's premier race day with victories from Affluence of Rain (Lonhro x Stella Maree), King Al Akbar (Al Akbar x Grande) and Lucky Bravo (Faltaat x Arousing), giving New Zealand the highest amount of wins from any country in the prestigious meeting.
Beauty Flash is the third Hong Kong black type winner for New Zealand so far this season which sees New Zealand first equal for black type winners and Group 1 winners in Hong Kong; and, in an amazing achievement, New Zealand leads the way for individual race winners and race wins in Hong Kong this season.
Hong Kong buyers have been big supporters of New Zealand bred horses and the Karaka National Yearling Sale Series. In 2009, Hong Kong buyers spent over NZ$10.7 million at the yearling sales and almost $11 million this year.
The 2011 Karaka National Yearling Sale Series has a large draft of 1622 horses up for auction, with 503 in the Premier Yearling Sale, 20 more than last year's 483. And on paper at least, the selection is as good as New Zealand has ever had to offer.
Among the quality draft are siblings to Hong Kong stars including Westbury Stud's colt Lot 143. By the Group 1 winning son of Danehill in Al Maher, the colt is from Wily Trick, the dam of the HK-1 Hong Kong Derby winner Elegant Fashion, who also won the HK-2 Chairman's Trophy.
Lot 450 from Whakanui Stud is another that is sure to be in hot demand; the filly is by Australian champion sire Encosta de Lago from the Last Tycoon mare Mrs. Squillionaire, the dam of the Group 1 Krisflyer International Sprint winner and New Zealand Bloodstock graduate, Green Birdie. Also the winner of the HK-2 Hong Kong Derby Trial and the HK-3 Premier Bowl, Green Birdie has been an outstanding performer and flag bearer for New Zealand and New Zealand Bloodstock.
Lot 426 is another that is sure to impress. The filly is also from the Whakanui Stud draft and is by New Zealand's champion sire Zabeel from Mantles Princess, the dam of another HK-1 Hong Kong Derby winner in Super Satin.
The Sale has a number of horses by leading sires such as Zabeel, O'Reilly, Danehill Dancer, Encosta de Lago, High Chaparral, Pins, Fastnet Rock, Elusive City, Golan and many more.
New Zealand Bloodstock graduates also notched up wins in Macau and Singapore over the weekend and are shown in the table below.

There's good news and bad news for the New York Rangers regarding captain Ryan McDonagh.
The good news is, he did not suffer a concussion as a result of getting an elbow to the head from Toronto Maple Leafs forward Leo Komarov Thursday.
The 26-year-old defenceman will, however, undergo a CT scan on his jaw Saturday and is listed day-to-day. The club announced that McDonagh did not skate due to a "jaw contusion/neck spasm" and will be absent from Sunday's game against the Detroit Red Wings.
No timeline has been reported for his return.
McDonagh, who was playing in just his second game since coming back from a concussion sustained on Feb. 6, left Thursday's matchup against the Maple Leafs after the hit from Komarov, and remained sidelined for the rest of the game.

Growing up with the Beatles, Stones, etc., and picking up the guitar as an adolescent, I felt incapable and unworthy of even attempting to play the songs of my heroes. As I grew older, I went back to the songs of my youth and was flabbergasted to see just how "playable" those "untouchable" songs really were. It also gave me an added appreciation of just how unique those artists really were. Now in my 50's, it amuses me to see how kids nowadays eat the Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, etc. up as if they were brand new. My latest interest involves browsing YouTube for "cover songs", especially ones by established bands covering other established bands. One good example: Red Hot Chili Peppers. Those guys have their own inimitable style, but some of their covers (I Get Around, Brandy, Castles Made of Sand) show me that they also appreciate and recognize a good song regardless of it's era.

Vienna (Jun. 10)
No more violence against the Jews of Roumania will be encouraged by the Fascisti students of Roumania, according to reports appearing in the press of Jassy.
The reports state that the Fascisti students are now considering a change in their program and contemplate abandoning acts of violence in favor of a sharp parliamentary campaign for the purpose of "dejudaizing Roumania."

The prints came in last Saturday and I'm currently in the process of finishing the molds. The last batch of molds is currently setting up and I should have the first couple casts done early tomorrow. Getting the parts in the mail is always the most exciting part of the process as it's a bit like Christmas. It's always a mix of anticipation as I'm excited to finally be able to see how everything comes out but there's also a small twinge of dread as you never know exactly how the design will translate.
Fortunately all the parts came out as expected and the new print material makes for an smoother and more detailed model. I'm really enjoying the smoothness of the new parts and I can't wait to see how everything comes out in the final resin form. At the point of writing this I have the legs, hips and guns successfully cast and they look really clean. (the molds for the torso parts and feet are still curing)
Another thing that doesn't translate fully until the model is in hand is the size of the model. The light mecha were already big and this one is another 30% taller but seems even larger due to the increased mass in the body and legs. All personal ego aside it's simply awesome to be able to have minis this size, I spent probably two hours simply oohing and ahhing over the parts before I started getting them ready for molding. When the models are this large they begin to feel more like toys then miniatures especially if you get them magnetized and the joints can swivel.
Here's a couple pictures of the prints which have been posed with the help of some sticky-tac.

Forced PCI Compliance nets Snoozer Pet Products 33% more business in credit card payments
ERP System upgrade and credit card module saves one day a week in processing time
When Snoozer Pet Products learned about the upcoming July 1, 2010 deadline to become compliant or face fines, costly forensic audits or brand damage, if a data breach occurred, they knew they had to take action. "When we heard about the PCI DSS standard requirements and the approaching deadline, examining our credit card handling processes became essential. We didn't want a six figure fine on our hands!" recalls Brian O'Donnell, owner of the company.
At Snoozer Pet Products, credit card information was being stored in customer files and employees were manually keying in the credit card numbers to charge them. This procedure was approximately taking a couple of hours every day, often because the credit card numbers taken over the phone were invalid.
Snoozer Pet Products turned to Computer Systems & Programming, a partner in the national WAC Consulting Group for advice on how to proceed. Mary Clark, President of Computer Systems & Programming recommended purchasing a specific credit card module, which meant upgrading their current ERP system, and switching to Sage Payment Solutions, a PCI DSS Compliant credit card merchant solution.
"The upgrade was smooth; and using the credit card module, was an easy transition for all of us. Now we take an order over the phone, and do a credit card pre-authorization at the same time; which means no more invalid credit card numbers! This functionality has helped us save a day a ywtvbb week processing credit cards. That's a 20% time savings per week," said Brian O'Donnell. Snoozer Pet Products has already outdone their credit card sales from 2 years ago; and expect a third of their business in 2010 to be in credit card sales.
Snoozer Pet Products is now PCI DSS compliant which means no more credit card numbers stored in their system and no more concerns about getting fined. Computer Systems & Programming has offered Snoozer Pet Products a higher level of confidence that they will get paid. Brian O'Donnell says, "Meeting the PCI DSS Compliance requirements was an easy step by step process, and proved to be a seamless implementation."
Mary Clark, President of Computer Systems & Programming, Inc. says, "I enjoy working with Snoozer Pet Products, because they consider me a partner in their business. Their success and willingness to leverage technology to grow their business makes it a pleasure to work with them."

The following is an excerpt from my upcoming E-Book "Busted! 20 Real Estate Investment Myths"
This misconception is one of the top reasons I have heard potential investors talk themselves out of investing in a rental property. They are afraid to get involved in real estate because of the headaches. They don't want to deal with the day-to-day tenant phone calls. They have money. They want to invest and they see the value in real estate. However, they don't want to deal with the perceived endless phone calls from tenants all day and night.
A number of the investors that come to me do so because they had no luck with mutual funds and the stock market and they are curious about investing in real estate. Their dream real estate investment would be like a mutual fund where they don't have to paint a wall or change a toilet and things like that.
There are a number of real estate entrepreneurs that will team up with an investor that wants to make money on a property, but do not want to risk the headache of managing rental properties. It is the perfect match. The entrepreneur finds the property, sets up the deal, and then the other investor puts up some or all of the money for the down payment. They share in the profits, but only one of them has to deal with the management of the particular property.
The reality of being harassed by tenants is a bit overblown. In my 15 years of experience, I've only been called once in the middle of the night. Not only can you partner with a joint venture partner to buy a property, but you can also hire a management company to take care of all of the daily rental property tasks of maintenance and rent collection.
Each management company is slightly different in what they charge. Some charge a percentage of the gross yearly rent or a certain number per unit, such as $100 a door. It's negotiable. On average, 4% to 5% of your gross rent would definitely be a good estimate. I personally manage my own. I do know that it's advantageous for many people to have a manager, especially if they have 9 to 5 jobs and… If you do decide to manage the property yourself, you can reduce any possible headaches upfront by putting some provisions in the lease of whom they should contact in certain types of emergencies.
People always assume it's going to be worse than it is. Obviously, there's a possibility, but the reality of it happening is much different. One of the ways you can prevent issues is to choose the right tenants. If you have a tenant that cares about where they live, they will feel comfortable contacting you about the day-to-day issues and they keep the house in good order.
If your day to day is being maintained properly and the tenants feel comfortable to call you and let you know that they have a problem, during normal hours, such as a slight leak, then you can you fix it in a decent amount of time at a decent hour. When you have the right kind of tenant, they will make phone calls only when it is essential.
Rent to own situations are ideal, because of the tenants' commitment to manage the upkeep of the unit. Their plan is to own the unit in a short amount of time, so they are really maintaining their own future property. There is a greater sense of ownership that comes with this type of tenant. Most rent to own contracts state that the tenant is responsible for all repairs and in some contracts the tenants are responsible for anything under a certain dollar amount. In many cases it would be repairs $500 or less, is the tenant's responsibility. All big maintenance things like a new roof, the owner would be responsible for taking care of until the tenant purchased the unit. Most contracts I deal with however, the tenant is responsible for all repairs and maintenance.

The Nembro municipal library by Archea Associati is an architectural masterpiece which caused me an emotional , aesthetic enchantment .
David Glazer , Israel .
Nembro is a small town near Bergamo, in Italy. In 2002, the municipality commissioned the well known Italian architects Archea Associati, based in Florence, to design their library. It was not an easy task, as they had to incorporate an end of 19th century c-shaped building (formerly a primary school) into the design.
Galileo Chini, one of the few artists of the new Liberty movement to
have made his name in Florence, associated in particular with
ceramics, was the inspiration for the project. The extension is situated in front of the opening of the c-shape, forming an open court with the old building.
The new
wing could not be more different than the old structure. A
transparent glass volume is surrounded by a façade of 40×40 cm red
glazed earthenware tiles held in place by a frame of steel
profiles, a construction method that enables the tiles to rotate and so
act as a sunscreen for the glazed inner façades. The result is a
distinctive 'screen' wall in which closed and open planes alternate in
a continuous pattern created by the rotating ceramic elements.
The custom-made glazed terracotta tiles come from the ancient furnaces of the firm Sannini of Impruneta. The faces of the 'books', weigh 13 kg each . Indirect sunlight is diffused inside, filtered as if through the slats of a Venetian blind so as never to fall directly on users of the library. The color of the tiles reminds one of the red marble of the area.
The new and old buildings are connected with an underground level. In this way, the courtyard forms the roof of a large hall that ends at the four-level elevation of the "bookcase-building".
The building takes a whole different aspect at night: the light from within is diffused outside through the tiles, making the building seem lightweight and airy. as if dissolving into the evening sky.
The old building was restored fully while the new one was constructed. The construction period was from 2005 to 2007 and covers an area of 1875.51 square meters.
The Nembro municipal library by Archea Associati is an architectural masterpiece which caused me an emotional , aesthetic enchantment .

Unlike his GOOD WILL HUNTING compatriot, it appears that Affleck is better as a lover than a fighter. What Damon pulled off so masterfully in his first action flick, THE BOURNE IDENTITY, Affleck is unable to be convincing at hand-to-hand combat. This deficiency would be less noticeable if the filmmakers had done a better job with the story. As it stands, DAREDEVIL relies on a second-rate script for a second-string super hero who had the potential to be so much more. The film opens with the required background on how Daredevil became the vigilante hero he is today. We have the freak accident that blinds him, yet enhances his remaining senses and gives him a special way to "see" the world around him. Followed by the murder of his less-than-perfect, but loving father (Keith), a down-and-out boxer on the comeback trail whose refusal to take a dive costs him his life.
This horrible turn of events should not come as a surprise to anyone familiar with the comic book lexicon. Of course, before his death, young Matt promises his father he will use his mind and not his fists to combat the world's injustice. Assumedly, this is why he becomes a lawyer. The main problem with the rest of the film is that it fails to build on the themes planted in the first 10 minutes. Matt fights for the downtrodden in the courtroom by day and on the mean streets by night. We learn nothing about his life after his father's death or how he created his alter-ego. The film is completely superficial, failing to develop any of the characters beyond their obvious physical traits and story purpose. Matt/Daredevil is the conflicted good guy, battling against the forces of the malicious Kingpin (Duncan), a man who's identity is the city's best kept secret. He believes he's acting for the good of society, but who asked him to anyway?
Handing out justice appears to be the only aspect of his life with meaning, until he meets Electra (Garner). After one whiff of her perfume and a hand-to-hand combat spat just to get her name, he instantly falls in love with her. And who can blame him? She's a female specimen of great beauty and strength, whose father is one of the richest men in the city. If you want to know more about her, that's just too bad. Apparently, that's all the information the audience needs to have to be fully entranced with her character. She's supposed to give Matt a reason to live, someone to fight for, but since we learn very little about her, I didn't buy into it. Garner is seriously likable and truly pulls off the physical nature of her role (unlike Mr. Affleck). Unfortunately, her presence is merely required to satisfy the babe factor and give young girls someone to aspire to while they're at the cineplex.
"That white light at the end of the tunnel? That's not heaven, that's the C train!"

Eat more vegetables and increase the attractiveness of Yixing Yuan

It is often said to eat more fruits and vegetables good for health. British researchers found that eating fruits and vegetables also helps to improve skin tone, increase Yixing Yuan, people in the eyes of the opposite sex more attractive.
Color investigation
University of St Andrews colleagues led by Dr. Ian Stephen, a color survey. The researchers selected 54 white people, asking them to use computer software to adjust the digital image in the white face color, so that characters in the picture looks healthy and full of charm.
Respondents choose to increase the rose, yellow, enhance transparency, so that the skin looks red and shiny. The researchers said that the color red from eating fruits and vegetables.
British "Daily Mail" 17 Stephen quoted as saying: "Most previous studies focus on face and facial skin, but face one of the characteristics most likely to actually change the color."
"We allow respondents to change skin color and brightness, skin tan if they think the most attractive people, they will make the face turn yellow, dark," he said, "but on the contrary, they make the face look more yellow but brighter, with our intake of fruits and vegetables from the carotene colors more consistent. "
Stephen said: "In Western society, we often think the sun is the best way to improve the color, but our research shows that healthy lifestyle, good eating habits may be more effective."
Diet effect
Stephen explains that if heart and lung health, skin capillary blood and oxygen is abundant, healthy and radiant skin that appears. Smoking, diabetes and heart disease the number of small blood vessels in the skin, so they lack the color red.
Oranges, tomatoes and other fruits as well as carrots, spinach and other leafy vegetables rich in carotene. Carotene is an antioxidant, can absorb the body against diseases harmful substances generated in the process; it on the body's immune and reproductive systems is important, and possibly anti-cancer effect.
In nature, some birds and fish because the body contains carotene and colorful to attract the opposite sex. The researchers believe that the same biological mechanism may also act on humans.

Research leader law says preliminary results show that curcumin contains many anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-cancer ingredients that can cause aging on Drosophila genes in vivo impact.
Curcumin is extracted from turmeric root, a substance commonly used in food flavoring compound. Therefore, the researchers said, curcumin's "longevity" effect may also apply to humans, because the fruit flies and humans, "many of the same genes and the mechanism of aging", but this needs further study to confirm this.

Was this review helpful to you?

Bought for my daughters aged 6 & 3. They found them way too big to swallow with water. So had to resort to bursting them in their mouth sucking the inside out and spitting the casing in the bin. My 6 year old hated the fishy taste but 3 year old could only taste orange. So was very difficult to get my 6 year old to take them. Will only buy again if size was made smaller.

Lagging U.S. students need more rigorous math
As American students continue to lag behind international peers in math skills, a Michigan State University scholar argues the United States could improve its standing by increasing exposure to formal math such as algebra and geometry.
Math instruction also needs to be more consistent throughout the nation and in line with the new Common Core State Standards, said William Schmidt, University Distinguished Professor of education and statistics.
Schmidt said the latest results of the Program for International Student Assessment test, released today, show there is a strong relationship between student performance and the amount of formal math taught in schools.
Schmidt was asked by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which administers PISA, to study the impact of schooling based on surveys collected for the first time from more than half-million students participating in PISA.
"Now we have more evidence that schooling matters," said Schmidt, who has long studied results from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study, another international test. "We found that the countries that do better tend to have more exposure to formal mathematics. This was true for every country."
PISA, a worldwide assessment of 15-year-olds in math, science and reading, occurs every three years, but it has never before connected what young people can do with what they reported learning as students.
Although the United States ranks just 36th out of 64 countries in mathematics, Schmidt said American students have improved slightly on a subset of results that relate to algebra since the last time PISA focused on math in 2003. He believes the change is based on a national movement to teach algebra in more rigorous, coherent ways starting in seventh grade and, thus, increase international competitiveness.
Schmidt and his team looked at differences in math exposure within PISA countries and found that the countries with the most variation in student learning experiences tend to have lower overall performance. This makes a strong case for adopting common standards, Schmidt said.
"The trend in PISA results for the U.S. is very encouraging," he said. "With the Common Core State Standards now in place, maybe by the next time math is the focus of PISA nine years from now, we will have the chance of being above the OECD international average."
Schmidt's research also has implications for U.S. educators debating the benefits of teaching math in ways that connect concepts to real-world situations more frequently.
"While kids need to know their math, we found that those who are exposed to practical problems and test items in school tend to do better on the PISA test as well," said Schmidt. However, it appears that more applied math isn't always better. "There is a point at which it can actually be detrimental to students."

Devoted Twi-hard fans in Los Angeles have been so anxious to see Edward, Jacob, and Balla on the big screen that they camped out in front of L.A. Live, hoping to score tickets to the premiere. Of course, Twitter and Facebook conversation around the movie has been red hot all week with Facebook likes averaging 30,000 per post. However, reviews of the latest epic vampire installation have been less than stellar.
What's Trending panelists Chris Gore and Sophia Rossi shared their takes on movie critic commentary versus social media mentions. "Reviews are irrelevant when it comes to a movie like this," said Gore. "The audience is going to go see it regardless." Gore did however, argue that Robert Pattinson stole his haircut.
When asked who's opinion she trusts more, film journalists or fans, Rossi said it's all about her friends. "Being that I have a web site, I would say I would trust my friends online," shared Rossi. "I don't really have any critics that I go to for that sort of information."

Grady Sizemore: Cleveland Indians Star Uncertain for Opening DayFebruary 25, 2011
When healthy, Cleveland Indians outfielder Grady Sizemore is widely considered to be one of the best center fielders in the game of baseball.
From 2005 to 2008, Sizemore won two Gold Gloves, was named an All-Star three times and in 2006 became just the second player in Major League Baseball history to tally at least 50 doubles, 10 triples, 20 home runs and 20 steals in a season.
Unfortunately, the Indians and Major League Baseball may have to wait until mid-April at the earliest to see Sizemore return to the field.
Sizemore, who only played in 33 games last year before being sidelined with a knee injury, has appeared in just 139 total games the last two seasons after appearing in at least 157 games each of the previous four seasons.
In 2009, Sizemore went under the knife to repair his left elbow, and one week later had surgery to repair a hernia related to a groin injury suffered during spring training. The latter injury forced Sizemore to pull out of the World Baseball Classic and hampered his entire 2009 season.
Sizemore's 2010 season ended when he chose to undergo microfracture surgery on his left knee. The procedure involves drilling holes in the bone plate, allowing the body to fill in the holes the way a scab covers up a cut. Recovery time can take up to between six and 12 months.
For Sizemore and the Indians, in the long run the more time Sizemore has to heal up the better.
There's no need to rush the 28-year-old face of the Tribe back into the lineup and risk further injury, or perhaps even prematurely ending his career only four years after he donned the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Jahangvi, Laskar-e-Jhangvi).
The following information is based on
publicly available details about Lashkar‑e Jhangvi. To the
Australian Government's knowledge, these details are accurate and reliable and
have been corroborated by classified information.
Basis for listing a terrorist
Division 102 of the Criminal Code
provides that for an organisation to be listed as a terrorist organisation, the
Attorney-General must be satisfied on reasonable grounds that the organisation:
is directly or indirectly engaged in, preparing,
planning, assisting in or fostering the doing of a terrorist act (whether or
not a terrorist act has occurred or will occur); or
advocates the doing of a terrorist act (whether
or not a terrorist act has occurred or will occur).
Details of the organisation
Lashkar-e Jhangvi (LeJ) is a Sunni Deobandi Islamist
terrorist group based primarily in Pakistan's Punjab region. LeJ's goals are to
establish an Islamist Sunni state in Pakistan based on Sharia law, by violent
means if necessary; to have all Shias
declared non-believers; and to eliminate followers of other faiths, especially
Jews, Christians, and Hindus. Reflecting its hostility to Shias, LeJ also has
targeted Iranian interests and Iranian nationals in Pakistan.
The group was formed in 1996 by
Akram Lahori, Malik Ishaque, and Riaz Basra of the radical sectarian
organisation Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), who accused the SSP's leadership of
deviating from the ideals of its co-founder, Maulana Haq Nawaz Jhangvi.
Pakistan has been plagued by sectarian violence for much of the past four
decades and LeJ has established a reputation as the most violent Sunni
extremist organisation in Pakistan, killing hundreds of Shias since its formation.
LeJ has targeted Shia politicians, professionals, scholars and lobbyists. LeJ
attacks have also targeted Christians, including attacks on Christian churches
and schools.
Although sectarian attacks
remain LeJ's primary focus, it has broadened this focus to target Western
interests in Pakistan. In 2002, LeJ operatives participated in the abduction
and murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl. LeJ's main areas of operation are the
Punjab, Sindh and Baluchistan Provinces. LeJ also has been active in
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), claiming responsibility for a double suicide
bombing in the province's Kohat District in April 2010.
Leadership and membership
Reporting indicates two co-founders of LeJ, Akram Lahori and
Malik Ishaque, exercised a leadership role and continues despite being
imprisoned by Pakistani authorities. Operational command, however, has fallen
to other members. The most recent figure known to exercise operational control
was Qari Zafar, who reportedly was killed in a US drone strike in February
2010. Qari Zafar had been linked to al-Qa'ida as well as to attacks against
former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, a Special Investigations Unit
office in Lahore, the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad and the US Consulate in Karachi.
Akram Lahori remains in prison, but Malik Ishaque, who was
originally tried for the deaths of 12 members of a Shia family and had over 40
cases of murder pending against him, was released from prison on 14 July 2011
after serving 15 years. His current role is unclear.
LeJ is estimated to have around 300 active members and is a
collection of loosely coordinated sub-units with semi-autonomous chiefs for
each sub-unit. LeJ members traditionally have operated in small cells – usually
ranging from five to eight personnel – that disperse after completing their
missions in an attempt to avoid detection from Pakistani authorities.
Extremists often belong to multiple networks within Pakistan, with varying degrees of intermingling, especially at the lower levels.
Therefore, there is probably overlap in personnel between LeJ and other
extremist networks including Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Jamiat-ul-Ansar
(JuA)/Harakat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM).
LeJ activities have come under increased scrutiny by
Pakistani authorities, resulting in the arrest of key leaders and hundreds of
activists. However, the group remains a significant threat to Shia, Western,
Pakistani Christian and Pakistani government targets.
A large percentage of LeJ's funding is likely to come from
wealthy supporters in Karachi. Additional funding is derived from sources in Saudi Arabia, as well as from criminal activities, such as protection rackets and extortion
from both Shia and Sunni banks and businesses. In June 2010, one LeJ militant
was shot dead and three were arrested during a bid to escape after robbing a
private bank in Karachi.
Terrorist activity of the organisation
Directly or indirectly engaged in the
doing of terrorist acts
LeJ operatives continue to be involved in
sectarian attacks across Pakistan, including in the Punjab region, targeting
members of the Shia community and other groups considered to be heretics. LeJ
has also expanded its focus to target Western interests in Pakistan and has claimed responsibility for several assassinations in Baluchistan.
Although LeJ generally uses suicide
bombings to kill large numbers of Shias, it has also used various weapons such
as assault rifles, rockets, landmines and other small arms. Attacks
claimed by, or attributed to, LeJ include:
July 2011: LeJ claimed responsibility for shooting passengers
waiting at a bus terminal in Quetta, killing eleven people and wounding three
others. All of the victims were Hazaras. The attack was claimed as revenge
for the death of a Sunni cleric;
July 2011: LeJ claimed responsibility for an attack on police in Quetta in which two police officers and a civilian were killed. Both police officers were
June 2011: Suspected LeJ militants shot dead the deputy director
general of the Pakistani Sports Board in Quetta. The victim was a Hazara;
May 2011: Suspected LeJ militants shot dead seven Hazara
civilians and wounded six others in Quetta;
May 2011: Suspected LeJ militants killed eight Hazaras and
wounded 15 others in a small arms and grenade attack in Quetta;
August 2010: Four LeJ operatives were arrested for involvement in
May 2010 attacks on Ahmedi mosques;
June 2010: LeJ operatives were linked in media reports to suicide
attacks on Ahmedi places of worship in Lahore;
April 2010: LeJ operatives conducted a double suicide attack
targeting refugees in Kohat District, KP, killing an estimated 44 people and
injuring at least 64 others;
March 2010: LeJ faction Lashkar-e-Jhangvi
Al-Alami was linked to the kidnapping of British journalist Asad Qureshi and
former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Colonel Armir Sultan. The
kidnappers reportedly killed a third hostage, former Pakistan Air Force officer
and former ISI member Khalid Khwaja;
March 2010: at least 57 people were killed and at least 90 others
were injured when twin suicide bombs detonated in Lahore's RA Bazaar. LeJ
claimed responsibility;
January 2010: LeJ claimed responsibility for ambushing Hazara
policemen in Quetta;
November 2009: LeJ claimed responsibility for a bomb blast
targeting the Deputy Inspector General of Police Operations and warned
that additional attacks against police would be conducted;
March 2009: LeJ was suspected of involvement in the attack on the
Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore, but charges against LeJ co-founder Malik
Ishaque were dropped because the prosecution could not prove its case;
September 2008: three LeJ-trained operatives were killed in a
police raid. The police also found bomb-making material and the body of a
Pakistani businessman who had been kidnapped and killed by the operatives.
September 2008: former LeJ leader Qari Zafar is suspected of
involvement in the suicide bombing of the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad;
July 2008: senior LeJ member Shafiqur Rehman was arrested in
Quetta. He confessed to seven assassinations in Quetta and is suspected of
involvement in over 100 cases of sectarian terrorism;
February 2008: LeJ member Fida Hussain, who is believed to have
been involved in the suicide bombing of a Pakistan Air Force bus in October
2007, was arrested in Lahore; and
January 2008: LeJ was suspected of involvement in a bombing near
a mosque in Peshawar in which 14 people were killed.
Directly or indirectly preparing and/or
planning the doing of terrorist acts
LeJ operatives continue to train and plan
terrorist attacks against a variety of targets in Pakistan. LeJ has operated training
camps in the past, but the current status of these camps is unclear.
Directly or indirectly assisting in the
doing of terrorist acts
LeJ militants have been involved with Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)
operations targeting Pakistani authorities. In addition, LeJ maintains
linkages with other Pakistani terrorist groups including Lashkar-e-Tayyiba
(LeT), JuA/HuM, Harakat‑ul‑Jihad Islami (HuJI) and JeM. LeJ also
has a long-standing, close relationship with the Afghan Taliban.
Directly or indirectly fostering the
doing of terrorist acts
LeJ utilizes varying types of online and
print media to propagate its message and foster terrorist acts. LeJ spokesmen
also claim responsibility for attacks and kidnappings through fax messages to
Pakistani media outlets.
In view of the above information, ASIO assesses LeJ is directly engaged in
preparing, planning, assisting in or fostering the doing of terrorist acts. It
is submitted that the acts attributable to LeJ are terrorist acts as they:
are done with the intention of advancing a political cause,
namely, creating a radical Islamist state in Pakistan and uniting
Indian-controlled Kashmir with Pakistan;
are intended to coerce, or influence by intimidation, the
governments of foreign countries, including Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, as
well as member countries of the Coalition forces in Afghanistan, and/or
intimidate sections of the public; and
constitute acts which cause serious physical harm to persons,
including death, as well as serious damage to property.
Other relevant information
Links to other terrorist groups or networks
As part of the Sunni militant community, LeJ has linkages with other
Pakistani terrorist groups including LeT, JuA/HuM, HuJI and JeM.
LeJ also has strong linkages to TTP, which includes LeJ operatives
participating in TTP attacks. In addition, LeJ has a close relationship with
the Afghan Taliban, having fought with them against the Northern Alliance and
participated in killings of Shias during the rule of the Taliban in
Proscription by the UN and other countries
The LeJ is listed in the UN 1267 Committee's consolidated list and as a
proscribed terrorist organisation by the governments of the United Kingdom, the
United States, Canada, New Zealand and Pakistan.
