Booking and customer service were good. From a child's perspective4.0 April 2016
Booking and customer service were good. From a child's perspective, FAC were not as welcoming. Another company we have travelled with sent a welcome pack with a travelling companion (soft toy) and activities to do while travelling. When on the holiday this company also catered more for families needs e.g. more frequent stops when travelling for food and toilets, without parents having to ask. The stops were also at more sensible times e.g. making sure there was a stop at lunch time (12.30ish), rather than early afternoon (1.30 onwards). Children (and adults) get irritable if they've not eaten making the journey more stressful.Read more

The company is now part of the global adventure travel operator Intrepid Travel, and trips are offered through Intrepid as well, allowing them to greatly expand their range.
What Makes Them Stand Out?
With more than 20 years' experience, The Family Adventure Company helped pioneer the concept of small-group adventure travel for families with young children. Activities are wide-ranging, from river rafting and kayaking to cycling, sailing, camping, and wildlife viewing, all geared to the ages and interests of the family travelers.
Who Travels With Them?
A wide variety of families, including solo-parent, single-child, multi-generational families -- parents, children, and grandparents traveling together -- and families with teenagers. The latter have dedicated trips of special interest to teens.
Where Do They Operate?
Much of the world: Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas.
How Does it Work?
No matter where you travel, The Family Adventure Company provides an English-speaking, family-friendly local leader. Lodging, transportation and activities are also included. Tours typically consist of three or four families with kids of similar ages or interests. (You can also put together your own trip with just your family or other families you're friendly with.) Children 14 and under get a ten percent discount off adult prices; large families (over two kids) get another price break.
Why Travel With Them?
The award winning company offers a wide range of trips for a wide variety of families. Because they only cater to families, they know what kids like – and as any parent can tell you, nothing is more disastrous than a family tour not geared in any way to kids. The company also supports responsible and sustainable travel practices and gives back to local communities.

Volunteers and their therapy dogs from Animals Asia's long running Dr Dog programme spent six weeks working with developmentally disabled children in Hong Kong.
From May 2 to June 13, kids at the Heep Hong Society Fu Cheong Centre were visited every Friday by six therapy dogs as part of a programme designed to help them overcome their fear of animals and develop their social skills.
A total of 34 children with developmental disabilities such as autism and down syndrome attended the sessions where they learnt how to interact with the dogs with confidence and pleasure by walking and playing appropriately with them.
Animal-Assisted Play Therapy (AAPT) is a fairly new area of research but one which has already produced positive results with developmentally challenged children.
Dr Fung Suk Chun Pat, who has worked together with Animals Asia since 2009, received her doctorate qualification for research on the effects of therapy dogs on autistic children.
Her studies concluded that autistic children interacting with therapy dogs show significant increases in their verbal communications compared with those who play with inanimate objects such as dolls.
Dr Fung Suk Chun Pat has previously said:
"AAPT is a valuable intervention for facilitating the social behavior of children with autism. In my doctoral research, the incorporation of a therapy dog in a structured play therapy has been found effective in eliciting the social behavior of the autistic clients. Specifically, AAPT is an effective treatment in eliciting the verbal languages of the autistic children. The therapy dog not only cultivates a positive play environment, but also provides the autistic children with tactile stimulation. The therapy dog is a therapeutic play partner to the autistic children."
Teachers and parents at Heep Hong Society Fu Cheong Centre were similarly impressed with one parent saying:
"My daughter was afraid of dogs before. However, she isn't afraid of the dogs now after the visit by the Dr Dogs. She keeps telling me she wants to meet them again."
Ms Lo, Senior Teacher at the Heep Hong Society Fu Cheong Centre said:
"Some of the students were afraid of dogs and appeared quite shy and passive when invited to greet and touch them during the first and second visits. As time went by, the students started missing the dogs and started eagerly looking forward to meeting and playing with them each Friday."
Animals Asia's Dr Dog programmes have seen registered therapy dogs visiting hospitals, homes for the elderly, disabled centres, orphanages and schools across Asia
since 1991 and is estimated to have improved the lives of more than 25,000 people per year.

I was thinking about either getting a plugin or shortcode to create custom field that shows on user and allows admin to change them and edit the information, not users.
For example, if we have wp site where 5 members are registered under admin and there are tasks that admin wants to show in their profile page. so there has to be non editable text area. so that member can view the task if they are logged in. It could show either on dashboard page or any other specific non editable widget.
Is it possible? any pointers for this particular task? links?

What have I learned about the nonprofit world? It's complicated. Not the hard to solve kind but rather the kind that consumes a half-century before a dent is made.
The above scene has been painted many times before. And those looking to help often become discouraged when data starts pouring in. However, each small action collectively creates that dent a half-century later. And that dent is the worst case scenario implying plenty of upside potential to accomplish more.
As one contributor to the dent, microfinance assists those living on the margin of society. Another group focusing on similar efforts is White Cloud Restaurant in Hanoi, Vietnam. A quaint restaurant with consistently delicious set menus, one is always greeted with a smile. What few realize, however, is that the workers (all female) have all suffered from severe family issues and/or domestic violence. After coming together for strength, cooking became a way to lighten the burden and start anew. With a little help, the women opened White Cloud as a way for reaching self-sufficiency.
So why bring this up on the Kiva blog? The amazing achievement of this small group deserves mentioning. In addition, I introduced the women to microfinance and am hopeful that they will qualify for a loan. You never know who you may meet next if you don't try. So go ahead and take that first step to do what feels right. Someone around the corner is bound to need a hand.
If you find yourself in Hanoi, stop by White Cloud to try my favorite egg rolls in town (they're vegan too)! Otherwise click here to lend to a Kiva entrepreneur!

Al-Tur is being called by the Israeli government as E1 Zone and as usual , as the habit of that government it violates all international agreements and treaties , the government in Israel decided to build an illegal settlement in E1. We are speaking about 4000 settlement units built on a Palestinian land.
E1 is an area of about 13 square km that falls on confiscated Palestinian land East of Jerusalem between Ma'ale Adumim settlement, which lies on occupied West Bank Palestinian land, and Jerusalem.
But yesterday Palestinian men and women decided to establish their own village on that land , Bab Al Shams village.
This is an ideological free movement made from Palestinians who got sick from their political movements whether PLA or Hamas , this time the people do lead their movements for real.

Before you debate about the Palestinian rights and you say what you want but according the Security council's 242 resolution Israel has to withdraw from the land it occupied in 1967 including East Jerusalem where Bab Al Shams village is.
The village is set up already in a land owned by a Palestinian man whose ancestors got its contract since the Ottoman Empire.

You can follow the news of Bab El Shams village on Facebook here.On twitter you can follow the amazing hashtag"Bab Al Shams"
Bab El Shams means The sun's gate and it is the name of an epic novel by Lebanese author Elias Khoury about the Palestinian agony in the 20th century. The novel is known in my generation more as a sad film directed by Egyptian director Yousry Nasrallah.
Now Khoury sent online message to the people of Bab El Shams on his official Facebook Page. It says the following :
A message to my people in Bab El Shams village. I will not say "I wish I were with you because I am with you. I see you and I see how the dream has become a reality on your hands rooted in the land. Mahmoud Darwish had once written "there is what on this earth what makes life worth living" , when you built your amazing village you restored the meaning to the phrase and you become the children of this land .. and its masters.
The sunrise in the village
This is the Palestine which Yunis dreamt of in Bab El Shams novel. Yunis had a dream of words and the words have become like wounds bleeding and you the people of Bab El Shams have become words writing down the dream with the ink of the future .. and returning Palestine to Palestine.
I see in your village all the faces of the beloved ones that have become absent in the way back to Palestine. Palestine is the date for all those strangers kicked out from their land. You are the children of the land , its olive and oil.
You are the olive of Palestine that is enlightened by the sun of justice , you build your village enflaming the fire of freedom. "Light Upon light"
I see in your eyes a nation reborn from the ruins of the on going Nakba. I see you and words grow in my heart. I see words and you grow inside me till you reach and storm heavens.
In the end I have one request , to accept me as a citizen in your village to learn with the meanings of freedom and fairness.
May God protect Bab El Shams village and its great people.

Back to 1987
for stocks?
Our Trading Deck has been home to a spirited debate over whether we're in for a crash.
• L.A. Little: Don't worry | Michael Gayed: Worry
• The warning signs of a 1987-style crash
• Hulbert: Stocks as overvalued as at 2007 high
$AAPL: Apple AAPL, +1.12% shares slid 3.6% to close at its lowest level since Feb. 15, 2012 on reports that the company has cut orders for iPhone 5 parts for the current quarter due to weaker-than-expected demand. Read: Apple shares hit hard on reports of iPhone parts order cut.
However, analysts at J.P. Morgan believe the reaction in the market to The Wall Street Journal report has been way out of line and maintained their overweight rating.
"The article comments that Apple has cut orders for iPhone 5 screens roughly in half for the March quarter. A similar news article by the Nikkei over the weekend commented that an anticipated 65 million iPhone units for the March quarter had been cut in half," J.P. Morgan analysts wrote in a report. "We believe this news is not new, as we first discussed potential supply-chain component cuts in our report on Dec. 19. We believe the news is more noise, and we believe the stock reaction has been overdone."
@JustinPulitzer: #TimCook should do some $AAPL QE. Why not? Works well for #Bernanke.
@tickertank: $AAPL used to be run by a man obsessed with product excellence. Now it's run by a man obsessed with supply-chain efficiency. Bummer.
@MrBarrySchwartz: I call b.s. on the so called $AAPL news today. My bet is the company is cutting orders as it will introduce a new phone in the spring.
$FB Facebook FB, +0.26% shares fell 2.4% ahead of Tuesday's media event. What to expect at Facebook event
An upgrade by Deutsche Bank failed to provide much support for the stock.
"We are upgrading FB to buy from hold, raising our price target to $40. FB doesn't fit into the DB Internet Team's preferred low multiple bucket, but has more revenue momentum than any company we cover heading into 2013," the analysts wrote in a report. "Our thesis has not changed since we launched coverage in September: Mobile Newsfeed Ads are the game-changer, but the ramp-up is happening much faster than our initial estimates and we see several new catalysts emerging."
@mkarolian: $AAPL and $FB seem to be having a case of the Mondays.
Dell DELL, -0.02% shares soared 13% on a Bloomberg News report that the company was in talks to go private. The report comes on the back of a steady decline in Dell's share of the PC market.
Herbalife Ltd. HLF, -0.33% rallied 10%, shrugging off the taint of being labeled a pyramid scheme by hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman, as several analysts talked up the stock. Read: Not a very happy new year for Ackman
Canaccord Genuity's analyst Scott Van Winkle wrote in a report that he came away from Herbalife's investor meeting with a favorable impression. He continues to believe that Herbalife operates a "perfectly" legal multilevel-marketing model. Van Winkle also noted that the vast majority of the $30 billion direct-selling industry in the United States has a compensation model.
Timothy Ramey at D.A. Davidson & Co. reiterated his buy rating on the company, suggesting that Herbalife's fourth-quarter earnings may exceed guidance. Short interest in Herbalife has surged to 37,298,384 shares, or 35.1% of its float, he said, citing data at the end of Dec. 31.
Ackman took a huge short position on Herbalife in December, betting that the value of the stock will drop.

The Wimmen's Comix Revolution - women cartoonists fight sexism in the comic book industry and make history.
In 1972, a group of women cartoonists in San Francisco created "Wimmen's Comix", an Anthology of Comics by women, challenging the sexism thet faced by the male dominated comic book publishing industry.
The mission of Wimmen's Comix was to publish a comic book drawn by women cartoonists, and to leave fifty-percent of each issue open for new contributors. There was a rotating editor or co-editors and each issue had a theme.
There were eighteen issues of Wimmen's Comix published by the Underground Comic Press between 1972 through 1992, and over a hundred new cartoonists saw their work in print, some for the first time. Many other titles grew out of this groundbreaking anthology, and today we are scattered in all corners of the United States and Europe.
So come out and help us celebrate our 40th Anniversary and see the comic art show, plus meet the women cartoonists in person at the San Francisco Public Library Main Branch on Saturday, November 10, 2012.

Wickliffe Mounds is the site of a Native American village of the Mississippian mound building culture, located in Ballard County, Kentucky. This archaeological site was first occupied by the Mississippian Native Americans from A.D. 1100 to 1350. Around 900 years ago, Mississippian people moved to this bluff which overlooks the Mississippi River and built a village with earthen mounds, houses and buildings all surrounding a central plaza. The Native People at the Wickliffe site were typical of a vast culture that archaeologists call the Mississippians. Peaceful farmers, they grew corn and squash, hunted in the neighboring forests and fished the river; they made pottery from shell-tempered clay with elaborate designs and decorations; they participated in a vast trade network up and down the rivers; they had stone, shell and bone tools; they had a complex chiefdom level society; they lived in permanent style houses made of wattle and daub; and they built flat topped platform style mounds. For reasons yet unknown, the village was abandoned after the 1350s. Wickliffe Mounds was one of many Mississippian towns built along the river and was a residential and ceremonial center.
Early settlers to the region probably knew about the mounds at this site, but made little mention of it. The first formal notice occurred in 1888 when surveyor Robert Loughridge mapped the mounds for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. From 1895 to 1932, the site was owned by the Wisconsin Chair Company and was used for harvesting timber. In 1930, road crews building Hwy 51 cut through the southern edge of the prehistoric site and turned up pottery and other artifacts.
Colonel Fain W. King, a Paducah lumber magnate and relic collector, purchased the site in 1932 and began excavating the mounds and developed a tourist attraction. Fain King, later joined by his wife, Blanche Busey King, opened the site to public visitation from the beginning of his work, calling the site at first the "King Mounds" and eventually naming it the "Ancient Buried City." King directed excavations from 1932 until 1939. Some of their excavations followed proper archaeological techniques of that era, but their field notes and other records have disappeared. What we do know of King's excavations through archival research is that Colonel King labeled the mounds "A - B - C - D - E - F - G" in the order he excavated them. Mound A was the first mound excavated in 1932, and it's the largest mound on the site as well. Based on a survey map and on more recent excavations, in all, there were at least 8 mounds at this village, Mounds A through H. On display today are Mounds A, B, C, and D. The remaining mounds were completely destroyed by King's excavations in the 1930's and at least one mound excavation area on exhibit that we know of burned down in the 1950's. Mrs. King published a book called Under Your Feet in 1939 which contained some information and photos about their involvement at the site.
In 1946, the Kings retired and turned the site over to Western Baptist Hospital in Paducah. The Western Baptist Hospital owned the Ancient Buried City from 1946 to 1983. During the 1950s and 1960s, the site was a well-known tourist attraction in western Kentucky.
In recognition of the scientific importance and the educational potential of the mounds, Western Baptist Hospital donated the site to Murray State University in 1983. Murray State University reorganized the site, calling it the Wickliffe Mounds Research Center and set out to accurately understand, interpret and preserve the site with archaeologists and museum personnel in charge. Exhibits were updated to provide accurate information about the Mississippian people who once lived here.
Beginning in 1984, Murray State University conducted small scale excavations and archaeological laboratory research at Wickliffe Mounds to promote a better understanding of the site. The excavations helped verify the accuracy of the 1930s excavations and develop an overview of activities on the whole site. One of the problems that archaeologists face at Wickliffe Mounds is that field notes from the 1930's are missing. So, the results of modern research help archaeologists to understand the areas excavated by the Kings, and also other areas of the site occupied by the Mississippians.
Murray State University's archaeological research has produced significant information about the Wickliffe Mounds site. Radiocarbon dates as well as other techniques have established a chronology for the Wickliffe Mounds archaeological site (15BA4): the Early Wickliffe period lasted from about A.D. 1100-1175, the Middle Wickliffe period from about A.D. 1175-1250, and the Late Wickliffe period from about A.D. 1250-1350.
The Wickliffe village was settled by Native Americans of the Mississippian culture and began as a small town surrounding a central plaza (where the parking lot is now), about A.D. 1100. By about A.D. 1175, they built the first stage of what became Mound B, where the chief and his or her family probably lived.
Between A.D. 1175 and 1250, the villagers built Mounds A (the Ceremonial Mound) and C (Burial Mound), added to Mound B, and may have begun some other mounds such as Mound D (the Lifeways building). The area covered by the village expanded, partly as families moved back to give room for the mounds, and perhaps partly due to a larger population. There are indications that trade increased during this period, especially between Wickliffe and the region around St. Louis, where Cahokia grew to be the largest Mississippian site.
Between A.D. 1250 and 1350, some interesting changes happened. The people devoted less effort to building mounds, although they completed Mounds A, B, and D, and built Mound F (west of the Ceremonial Mound) during this period. The village continued to expand, however, until it covered the entire bluff. The villagers apparently left this location about A.D. 1350. The reasons for their departure are not clear, and archaeologists are still studying the question.
Wickliffe Mounds archaeologists continue to study the artifacts that were excavated during the 1930s, 1980s, 1990s and after. Because excavation destroys the part of the site being studied, modern archaeology justifies excavating only what will produce new information. Archaeology is a non-renewable resource. Until the most recent excavations are thoroughly studied, and new questions or techniques can be brought to the study of this site, or if mitigation projects become necessary, Wickliffe Mounds State Historic Site will continue to preserve the site and interpret the latest findings while keeping further disturbance of the site at a minimum.
In 2004, Murray State University transferred the Wickliffe Mounds archaeological site and its collections to the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Designated as the Wickliffe Mounds State Historic Site, the mounds are operated by the Kentucky Department of Parks. The site remains open to the public as a state historic site, a tourist attraction, an archaeological museum, and an educational resource.
Wickliffe Mounds is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is designated as a Kentucky Archaeological Landmark and is an Interpretive Center on the Great River Road National Scenic Byway.
For more detailed information about the archaeology of the site, please refer to the book, Excavations at Wickliffe Mounds, (2001) University of Alabama Press, by Dr. Kit Wesler. It is the most relevant and informative published material about Wickliffe Mounds to date.

Alcohol Policy
The Colorado School of Mines Board of Trustees has adopted an alcohol use policy in keeping with state and local laws governing the use, distribution, and consumption of alcohol. The university is committed to responsible behavior and as such, the alcohol policy is designed to encourage responsible drinking and behavior. Violation of this policy may result in disciplinary and/or legal action.
Colorado law prohibits consumption of alcoholic beverages for people under age 21. Furthermore, social host liability may be imposed on persons serving or permitting the serving of alcohol to minors, visibly intoxicated persons, or habitual drinkers.
Students shall not engage in the unauthorized or unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, use/abuse of alcohol and/or illicit drugs on college property or as part of any college activity.Any attempt to sell alcoholic beverages without authorization and licensing violates Colorado State liquor code and is also subject to university disciplinary action. To obtain a special event liquor license, meet with the Associate Dean of Students a minimum of 60 days prior to the event. Student organizations wishing to hold a function at which alcoholic beverages will be served in any campus facility or on campus grounds must first receive approval by the Associate Dean of Students.
Mines students are accountable for their actions and judgment and are expected to make responsible decisions regarding alcohol. Violations of this policy are subject to appropriate institutional and legal sanctions.
Illegal Drug Policy
The Colorado School of Mines prohibits the sale, manufacture, distribution, use or possession of illegal drugs on the Mines Campus. Sale, distribution or manufacturing of illegal drugs by a member of the Mines campus community will normally result in the administration taking action to curtail the activity. This policy applies within or upon the grounds, buildings, or any other facilities of the campus. Sanctions may be imposed upon individuals found in violation of these policies, as well as violation of criminal laws controlling drugs and alcohol.
More specific and detailed information about Mines institutional policies addressing drugs and alcohol concerns can be found in student handbooks, personnel offices, or administrative policy information.

Study Highlights:
- Survivors of small-artery strokes who lowered their systolic blood pressure below 130 mm Hg were less likely to suffer a hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in the brain) than those who lowered it to between 130 mm Hg and 149 mm Hg.
- There was no significant difference in the likelihood of clot-caused stroke with lower blood pressure.
- The lower blood pressure target was safe, though it did lead to more episodes of fainting.
The findings may provide physicians with more definitive treatment targets for patients with a history of subcortical or lacunar stroke. Subcortical stroke accounts for 25 percent of all ischemic strokes and occurs when small, intricate arteries deep within the brain are affected.
Normal systolic blood pressure is less than 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Systolic pressure is the top number in a blood pressure reading and represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats. Pre-hypertension is systolic pressure between 120 mm Hg and 139 mm Hg. People with pre-hypertension are likely to develop high blood pressure unless steps are taken to control it. Hypertension or high blood pressure is systolic pressure above 140 mm Hg.
"We know keeping blood pressure low protects against a first and a recurrent stroke," said study author Oscar Benavente, M.D., professor and research director of stroke at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. "But we don't know how low it needs to go, and our study provided some answers."
In the Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes (SPS3) Trial, Benavente and colleagues divided 3,020 patients into two target groups of blood pressure control. Outcomes were compared between those assigned to the "lower target" systolic blood pressure below 130 mm Hg and those treated to achieve a "higher target" between130 mm Hg and 149 mm Hg.
The study enrolled patients from North America, South America and Europe from 2003 to 2011. All had previously suffered a small subcortical stroke. At the start of the study, the two treatment groups had similar systolic blood pressure. Patients' were age 63 on average, 63 percent were men, 75 percent had a history of high blood pressure, 37 percent had a history of diabetes and 20 percent were current tobacco users.
Among their findings:
- After one year of treatment, the group assigned to achieve a lower blood pressure had an average systolic blood pressure of 126.8 mm Hg while the other group averaged 137.8 mm Hg. The average follow-up lasted about 3.7 years.
- Bleeding in the brain, also known as intracerebral hemorrhage, was reduced by 63 percent in those who achieved blood pressure levels below 130 mm Hg of systolic pressure as compared with those who lowered their blood pressure levels between 130 mm Hg and 149 mm Hg.
- Stroke recurrence in either group was lower among those who had greater reductions in their blood pressure levels (2.25 percent per year) compared with those who did not lower their blood pressure as much (2.77 percent per year). The difference is not statistically significant.
Both levels of treatment were safe. Fainting was the most frequently reported side effect but occurred in less than 1 percent in each treatment group. Serious side effects from blood pressure reduction occurred in 1 percent of those with the higher target, and 1.5 percent with the lower – not a significant difference.
Benavente noted that the study was not designed to analyze differences in the blood pressure-lowering medicines patients took. Instead it focused on whether one blood pressure benchmark was better than another. However, patients assigned to the lower target took more medications and the distribution of medications by groups were not the same.
"What the study tells us is that a systolic reading of 135 mm Hg may not be enough, but that getting the blood pressure down to below 130 mm Hg may offer our stroke patients greater clinical benefits," Benavente said. "I would tell my patients who had this type of stroke to get their blood pressure below 130."

La Conica, the first project of espresso coffee maker by Aldo Rossi, was created from the union of simple geometric shapes that form a mini-table architecture with a concise and elegant style. A coffee maker in stainless steel 18/10, beautiful to see and easy to use.
All the charm of contemporary architecture enters our homes with La Conica coffee maker. A timeless icon, La Conica has its body in stainless steel and its base in copper: a sophisticated object, characterised by essential geometric forms that give rise to a functional tool with which one can prepare and serve coffee.
Born in Milan (1931-1997), he is considered by many to be the greatest Italian architect of the second half of the 20th century. His life as an architect started with Gardella and Zanuso. An author of abstraction, reduction and brevitas, his severe language of primary shapes, geometrical patterns and silent evocation created some of the most intensely poetic works of architecture and design in his age.

Houston native Murillo shines in Breakthrough Series
HOUSTON -- Local catcher Jerry Murillo didn't enter this week's Breakthrough Series in Houston as one of the most touted prospects.
While a high-round seat in 2014's First-Year Player Draft still isn't exactly being warmed for him, the rising senior at St. Pius High School finished the event as one of its standout performers.
HOUSTON -- Local catcher Jerry Murillo didn't enter this week's Breakthrough Series in Houston as one of the most touted prospects.
While a high-round seat in 2014's First-Year Player Draft still isn't exactly being warmed for him, the rising senior at St. Pius High School finished the event as one of its standout performers.
The area native hit a home run during Wednesday's intrasquad action at the Urban Youth Academy and was the only catcher during Thursday's game at Minute Maid Park who didn't allow a passed ball.
Murillo's under-the-radar status could be forgiven, considering who was on his high school team. He caught Kohl Stewart, the Twins' top selection in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft.
"It never helps to lose a guy who throw 96, but Kohl was the best around as a pitcher and teammate," Murillo said. "You get better being around the best."
Stewart is actually responsible for Murillo getting behind the plate. On their high school team, no one could catch the hard-throwing right-hander.
So Murillo threw on some gear at the request of his coach one day, but he received no adjustment period behind the dish.
"The first time I got back there, I had to see upper 90s, 96-97, from Kohl," Murillo said. "My hand hurt a little. It was a challenge."
While attending a Perfect Game Showcase in Fort Myers, Fla., earlier this month, Murillo briefly reunited with his now-famous friend.
Stewart, who inked a $4.5 million signing bonus with Minnesota last month, was pitching there in the Gulf Coast League as his pro career gets under way.
"It was very fortunate while were out there, since we got to talk to him, and he came to the beach house where we were staying," Murillo said. "He told us all about the Minor League routine and what to expect."
Already on the heels of a state title at St. Pius, Murillo was asked to undertake the most demanding position on the diamond. But he delivered, making no errors behind the plate in 2013 as the Panthers nearly defended their title, losing in the state finals.
Murillo was a mainstay in the lineup, belting seven home runs and collecting 28 RBIs while hitting .302.
That set the stage for an invite to this week's Breakthrough event, which is part of a combined effort by Major League Baseball and USA Baseball to spotlight and bolster the involvement of urban youth in the sport.
Murillo's breakout week at the Academy seemed only fitting, considering he's been generous with his time there.
The 17-year-old has been a fixture, volunteering for various youth camps held at the park, which is run by the Houston Astros and Major League Baseball.
"Basically, the UYA will hold camps for urban, inner-city kids and we have them come out and set up stations," he said. "One day will be defense, the next will be offense and we just do little drills to teach them the game. I just like being around baseball, so it's fun."
From that venue on Wednesday to Minute Maid on Thursday, it was just another old stomping ground for the Houston native.
Murillo grew up an Astros fan and was a regular in the Minute Maid stands growing up, though his baseball schedule has gotten in the way of that during recent summers.
"I haven't been able to come to as many games, because my personal baseball schedule keeps me busy," he said. "But whenever they won the [2005] NL pennant, I remember being here all the time. Those were the good times for the team."
And speaking of that schedule, Murillo has stayed busy all summer, hardly enjoying time off like a normal kid. In a few weeks, he'll head up to New York for another showcase, where he'll get to play at Citi Field.
This is after he's already attended several prep tournaments, an Area Code Baseball series and college camps.
"It's normal for a baseball player, not most people," Murillo chuckled. "I wouldn't trade it."
Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said Murillo was among a handful of local players at the Breakthrough event that the clubs local area scout has his eye on.
"I talked to our area scout [before watching the Showcase game at Minute Maid on Thursday], and he's pretty excited about some of them," Luhnow said. "Certainly the tie goes to the local guys in our case, so we'll make sure we know as much as possible about [Murillo]."
For now, though, the catcher is plotting out colleges. Schools like Ole Miss, Sam Houston State, Oklahoma State and Texas State have all been in contact, and he hopes to have a verbal commitment in place soon.
But if a Major League team comes calling next June during the Draft, especially if it were the Astros, Murillo said he'd have a hard time turning them down.
"It's been my dream," Murillo said of getting drafted. "You grow up around baseball and watching big league games, and that's the goal, to get there."
After a week in which he proved himself against some of the brightest young talent in the game, Murillo might be one step closer to that goal.

Man grabbed before falling in 300 degree chemicals
A coworker grabbed a man Tuesday morning before he fell into a 300 degree tank of chemicals.
Authorities said that as the man started to fall, his coworker grabbed him and pulled him to the side, preventing him from becoming completely submerged.
The incident was reported at Barrett Plating Inc. at 2100 Northeast 60th Ave.
Authorities said the two employees had climbed onto the elevated tank to recover metal parts that had fallen to the bottom of the 5 foot deep container when the accident happened.
The Des Moines Hazmat team was dispatched to help with the decontamination process. Authorities said the quick removal of exposed clothing and rapid decon by co-workers was commendable.
The man was taken to a metro hospital before being sent to the University of Iowa Hospitals. His name and condition are not yet available.

BOSTON (AP) Family members of the man found slain a mile from New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez's house said Friday they are looking for answers about what happened the night he died.
Police have searched in and around Hernandez's sprawling home in North Attleborough, not far from where the Patriots practice. The Bristol County District Attorney has not released any information, other than saying the death of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd is being treated as a homicide.
A jogger found Lloyd's body in an industrial park Monday. His uncle Ishmael Andrew said Friday that Lloyd was dating the sister of Hernandez's girlfriend.
Family members have said Lloyd, a semi-pro football player, was never in trouble. Andrew said many things are puzzling about the case.
[VIDEO: No arrest warrant issued for Aaron Hernandez]
Hernandez attorney Michael Fee has acknowledged media reports about the state police search of his client's home but says he wouldn't have any comment on it.
Mark E. Sturdy, clerk magistrate of Attleboro District Court, said three search warrants had been issued in the investigation earlier in the week, but they have not yet been returned, meaning they're not public. He said no arrest warrants had been filed in state courts as of Friday morning.
Media have been camped out for several days at Hernandez's home, near the Rhode Island state line. A news helicopter followed along Thursday as Hernandez drove in a white SUV from his home to the stadium where the Patriots practice, then got out and went inside.
Patriots spokesman Stacey James said the team had no comment on why Hernandez was there. He said earlier that the team did not anticipate commenting publicly during the police investigation. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is waiting for the legal process to take its course.
The Patriots drafted Hernandez out of Florida in 2010. Since then, he has combined with Rob Gronkowski to form one of the top tight end duos in the NFL. He missed 10 games last season with an ankle injury and had shoulder surgery in April but is expected to be ready for training camp. Last summer, the Patriots gave him a five-year contract worth $40 million.
Hernandez said after he was drafted that he had failed a drug test while with the Gators and had been upfront with NFL teams about the issue.
Late Wednesday, a 30-year-old man filed a lawsuit in South Florida claiming Hernandez shot him in the face after they argued at a strip club.
In his federal lawsuit seeking at least $100,000 in damages, Alexander Bradley claims he and Hernandez were with a group in February at Tootsie's club in Miami when the two got into an argument. Later, as they were driving to Palm Beach County, Bradley said Hernandez shot him with a handgun, causing him to lose his right eye. Fee, Hernandez's attorney, did not respond Thursday to an email seeking comment about the lawsuit.
Associated Press writers Curt Anderson in Miami and Michelle Smith in Attleboro, Mass., contributed to this report.

Quicken Loans and Warren Buffett's $1 billion perfect bracket challenge lasted shorter than anyone predicted.
Zero people made it out of the first round with a perfect bracket.
Regardless, the stunt got a ton of buzz for both Quicken and Buffett.
Today, the Berkshire Hathaway CEO went on Dan Patrick's radio show and said he wants to do it again next year.
It's ultimately Quicken's decision, he said, but if they have a billion-dollar challenge in 2015 he would like to see some tweaks.
"I'd like to modify it a little bit so people have an even better shot to win it than they had this year," he said.
He didn't give details, but sounded excited about it:
"Wait until next year, though, I think we're going to come up with something better next year. We'll make it a lot easier to enter. There were some questions that were a little tough I thought. We'll make it easier to win but I think we'll have an exciting prize."
The math says you're more likely to win the Mega Millions lottery twice than to pick a perfect bracket. Insuring the $1 billion prize was a no-brainer for Buffett.
There are a bunch of ways to make it easier to win while still making it a smart bet for him. Even giving away $1 billion to anyone that has a perfect bracket up to the Final Four would carry about 1 in 7,205,759,400,000,000 odds.

Yemen will try to convince Russia to agree to a rescheduling of $1.2 billion (€1.3 billion) in debt it owes to Moscow, Yemeni Foreign Minister Abu Bakr Abdullah Al-Kurbi said Sunday, April 22.
"The debt question will be one of the issues raised by Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh this May in Moscow," Kurbi told AFP shortly before leaving for the Russian capital for talks ahead of Saleh's visit.
The foreign minister said Russia had already erased 80 percent of the six billion dollars Yemen owes to the Paris Club of creditor nations.
Yemen will ask Russia to forgive part of the remaining 20 percent, or $1.2 billion, and reschedule the rest, he added.
Yemen's current total foreign debt is estimated at five billion dollars, as compared with $11 billion in 1996.
Kurbi said Sanaa would ask Paris Club countries to forgive an additional part of its debt at its next meeting before year's end.
The Yemeni foreign minister, making his first trip to Russia since being named to the government earlier this month, said he also would discuss "the need for Russia to reclaim its role in the Middle East peace process."
The exact date for Saleh's May visit to Russia has not yet been decided. — (AFP, Sanaa)

Police in the U.K. will ban under-wire bras for females on the force.
In a letter addressed to women police officers, Essex Police have instructed their female staff not to wear under-wired bras, warning that any metal parts of the bra could cause extra damage if officers are shot while on duty, the Daily Telegraph newspaper reported.
The letter suggests that "a good comfortable fitted non-wired bra from a retailer like Marks & Spencer" would be a better choice for officers' safety.
Still, police were told there is no such thing as a "bullet-proof bra."
An Essex Police spokeswoman told the Telegraph health and safety officers supported the bra recommendations.
But one unnamed female officer said focus on under-wire bras was "a bit bizarre" because shootings in Essex were a rare occurrence.

Here's a quick and simple C program that reads a packet from the accelerometer once per second, and rotates the screen to a new orientation if the orientation has changed.
I don't mean this to conflict with Paul's excellent work on Gestures; my reason for writing it is so that it can be used as an always-on daemon in the OM distributions. (Full gesture interpretation is more CPU heavy and requires reading data more often than once per second, so perhaps that will be done on-demand instead of always-on.)
The code is: http://github.com/cjb/freerunner-rotate/tree/master/rotate.c?raw=true
There's an ARM binary here (chmod a+x rotate && ./rotate): http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rotate
I found that rotating the desktop area in landscape (using xrandr) makes the XGlamo eat the CPU on my GTA-02 system.
Rotating the display head (xrandr --output default ...) works without major CPU load.
By using no libxrandr, but invoking xrandr commands, it only depends on the accelerometer.
