When your child thinks about the doctor's office he probably has memories of shots, swabs for strep throat, or being given yucky tasting medications.
While those tasks are necessary to keep children healthy, pediatricians also strive to focus on keeping the whole child healthy. This includes encouraging language development and promoting childhood literacy.

From the food we eat to the products we use, there are a lot of misconceptions about what may increase the risk of developing breast cancer. There are known factors, like genetics, that are well documented. But what about lifestyle issues like having a nightly cocktail or using deodorant?

Heat kills by pushing the human body beyond its limits. In extreme heat and high humidity, evaporation is slowed and the body must work extra hard to maintain a normal temperature.
Most heat disorders occur because the victim has been overexposed to heat or has over-exercised for his or her age and physical condition. Older adults, young children and those who are sick or overweight are more likely to succumb to extreme heat.
When Mona Huff began her weight-loss journey, she started with adjusting her diet.
But diet only got her so far. She realized she had to do more.
"I realized how important walking was to my own personal health," she said. "As I started losing weight, I got to a certain level, and got my blood sugar to a certain level, but it wouldn't get any better."
So she started researching what she could do to get her blood sugar to more healthy levels.

MAN Latin America said this week it has given three customers in Brazil trucks that feature dual-fuel technology which can blend biodiesel on board the vehicle.
The trucks, part of the company's Constellation line, include two separate tanks, one that handles traditional diesel and a second which accepts B100, or 100% biodiesel. An electronic onboard system monitors the parameters for the use of biodiesel and adjusts the fuel supply as needed. This allows the truck to continue operating in areas where biodiesel not meeting European DIN EN 14214 standards is not available, MAN said in a press release.
"It is important to develop products that are adapted to the respective market. This is the only way to achieve sustainable solutions internationally," said Yvonne Benkert, CSR manager of the MAN Group.
The trucks can run on B100 or pure diesel, depending on the availability of fuel and the current requirements of the application. In Brazil, the use of 100% renewable raw materials for fuel is common and can cut CO2 emissions by up to 90%, MAN said.

Daniel Botelho recently embarked on a mission to locate and photograph the legendary "unicorn of the sea": the narwhal.
It was a North Pole adventure even he realized was likely to end in failure, because narwhals are famously shy around boats and people, and very few underwater photographs of the strange-looking mammals exist.
But Botelho, who was working on a project for Disney and gathering material for an upcoming book, did more than photograph narwhals. One of them, a female, became curious of the photographer and followed him as he swam through the frozen waters of the high Arctic.
"I always knew it would be very tough to get close to a narwhal whale," Botelho said. "It is notoriously hard to get close to one. But while all the staff could only stand a half-hour in the water, I took advantage of my cold resistance and stayed for three hours, and suddenly something happened that no one would ever consider: a narwhal whale made friendship with a man."
It was a magical encounter, to be sure, and while the photographer thought he might have ruined one of his images by inadvertently sticking his swim fin into the frame (immediately above), he later discovered that this gives the image perspective by showing the proximity of the diver to the mammal—"and that it was following me!"
Narwhals, which can measure to about 20 feet and weigh 3,500 pounds, are amazing for many reasons. But they're most famous for their single long tusks, which look as though they're protruding from the mammals' foreheads. The spiraling ivory tusks, which are evident only on males, are actually a single tooth that sprouts through a narwhal's upper lip.
The unicorn-like tusks can measure to about 9 feet and are sometimes used during jousts with other narwhals. Scientists are not sure why male narwhals grow these tusks, but speculate that they're used to impress female narwhals and, possibly, to wage battle with rival males during the mating season.
Narwhals, which are related to beluga whales, feed on cod and other fishes, as well as shrimp and squid. One of their primary challenges is the constantly changing ice; it sometimes closes around them and they often have to swim long distances beneath the ice to find another patch of open water.
Botelho's group camped on the ice and dove in 28-degree water. They wore dry suits with warm clothing beneath, but the water still seemed brutally cold.
"In order to get the whales relaxed, I spent three hours in a row in this water," Botelho said. "But my face was uncovered and I had ice-burn blisters. After three hours the expedition leader called me back because we needed to get back to camp, and when I started to move a female narwhal came straight to me, bumped my leg, and started to follow me.
She followed me until the time I left the water, and people around me were amazed, including the [native] Inuits. They are very mystic with narwhals and they know how shy they are, so having a narwhal touching me was like magical to them … I cried."
Incredibly, before Botelho climbed onto the ice with his face and hands burning in pain, he reached out with his camera and captured a self-portrait with the narwhal just a few feet away (bottom image).
It just might be the only photo of its kind.

A World Cup ticket scalping case has revived a reputation FIFA tries hard to fight, and threatens to stain a tournament which has been better than critics expected.
Football's international governing body and its president Sepp Blatter have tried to present a new face in recent years after so many allegations of vote-buying and top officials seeming entitled by seeking favors.
Continue Reading Below
Though many rules and faces have changed at the game's headquarters, a skeptical view that the old culture remains in the inner circle has been fueled by the arrest this week of a director from a longtime World Cup commercial partner.
Released from custody by Rio de Janeiro police early Tuesday, Ray Whelan returned to work within hours at the five-star hotel where Blatter stays and the MATCH group of companies operates during FIFA's showpiece event.
The Copacabana Palace is also where police conducted parts of an undercover operation known as Jules Rimet — named after the former FIFA president who launched the World Cup in 1930.
Whelan, a brother-in-law of MATCH founders Jaime and Enrique Byrom, is suspected of providing tickets to a scalping ring dealing corporate hospitality packages at highly inflated prices. Reselling tickets for profit is illegal in Brazil.
Rights to the $600 million market in World Cup corporate tickets are owned by the MATCH Hospitality subsidiary. Its minority shareholders include a sports agency in Switzerland run by Philippe Blatter, a nephew of the FIFA president.
"MATCH have complete faith that the facts will establish that he (Whelan) has not violated any laws," the company said.
The scalping probe is an embarrassment for FIFA and provoked awkward questions after weeks in which predicted street protests in 12 host cities didn't materialize on mass scale.
FIFA has worked with the Byrom family from Mexico for more than 30 years and awarded contracts to the family's companies since the 1994 World Cup in the United States.
Asked Tuesday if Whelan's accreditation would be revoked, FIFA spokeswoman Delia Fischer said football officials couldn't act before getting a full report from police.
"We need all the proof," Fischer told a news briefing. "We want the matter solved quickly and investigated to its fullest extent."
Whelan was arrested Monday in his luxury suite at the hotel where police said they confiscated 82 tickets for upcoming matches, along with his computer, cellphone and other unspecified documents.
Police have described Whelan as the "facilitator" who allowed a large ring of scalpers to have access to tickets, which they re-sold at vastly inflated prices.
His attorney, Fernando Fernandes, told reporters his arrest was "illegal and absurd."
Whelan, who is based in MATCH's Rio office, will not be allowed to leave Brazil during the tournament. He was detained after the earlier arrests of 11 people, including Algerian national Mohamadou Lamine Fofana.
Police said Whelan was heard on wiretapped phone calls negotiating ticket prices with Fofana, a former player agent whose company is a MATCH Hospitality client.
The MATCH Hospitality subsidiary, which is based in Zurich, paid $120 million for exclusive rights to sell and market more than 400,000 corporate hospitality packages for this World Cup.
In 2011, FIFA extended MATCH Hospitality's exclusive rights through the 2018 and 2022 World Cups without inviting rival bidders.
FIFA hailed that deal — which guaranteed $300 million plus a share of MATCH profits — as one which "further strengthens FIFA's fight against ticket touts."
Trying to distance Whelan from hospitality sales, FIFA and MATCH stressed that Whelan was a director of a subsidiary which has contracts to run accommodation, ticketing and IT services at this World Cup. MATCH Services will also organize hotels for FIFA, media and sponsors at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Separately Tuesday, Brazil's federal police said on its website that an Italian and a French citizen, who jointly run a travel agency, were arrested at the international airport in Sao Paulo.
The statement said the two were carrying 48 tickets for the semifinal and final matches — tickets which belonged to "one of the big sponsors" of the World Cup.
Associated Press writer Bradley Brooks in Rio de Janeiro contributed to this report

See? Awesomness.
by thefourthman » Fri Sep 03, 2010 6:31 amWhat would you do with a month left to live? It's a philosophical hypothetical that has led to many a saccharine story, song, poem. Think Live Like You Were Dying by Tim McGraw. It'll please the masses, but there's not a lot of substance there.
Here is much the same. It's a neat enough idea, this guy finds out he is going to die and around the same time he has powers manifest. What's he going to do with them?
In the end, this is a comic book equivalent to the McGraw song. It does what you expect. Our lead, Dennis, is a bank lackey who hates his job. He has a loving wife and is taking care of his deceased sister's daughter. There's not a whole lot that inspires him. He wants to do the right thing but is unable to at his job and with his niece he might as well be a villain.
When he steps up to some apparently confused crooks, an act of unconscionable punishment is enacted and after a trip to see the Fantastic Four, he finds that he has cancer which has now mutated and is attacking pretty much his whole body. Reed tells him he only has a month to live, he goes home and fins out he also has powers. Then the guy goes and robs a bank to take care of a mistake he had made earlier that day. IS he going to be a hero or a villain, I guess that is the point of this first issue.
Problem is, it reads like the script to a daytime drama with Ben Grimm, Reed Richards and Spider-man thrown in. It is melodramatic and clichéd. Overwrought in its dialogue. With Remender being the writer, one might think that there are big ideas to back it up, but there aren't instead we get some crap origin that Stan Lee would have thought up if he had grown up in the post Tarantino era. The only real interesting bit is a cliff hanger that will only be a wow moment to those familiar with a minor new character.
The art isn't bad. At first, it is as off putting as the writing, but eventually it just seems normal. It is a bit stiff, but then this is a stiff read.
In the end, it is again, an average book. Unlike last week's book it is just starting out and only has the sky to reach for and given that we have the talents like Ostrander and McKelvie in the batter's box makes me want to check out the next issue. Problem is when are Marvel and DC going to stop giving us average books and start knocking them out of the park?

by thefourthman » Fri Sep 03, 2010 6:38 amAmlah, I had never heard of it either, this book, that is.
JUDE pick a frrakking book. I recommend Billy The Kid's Old Timey Oddities and the Ghastly Fiend of London:
Writer: Eric Powell
Artist: Eric Powell, Kyle Hotz
Colorist: Dan Brown, Dave Stewart
Cover Artist: Eric Powell
Genre: Action/Adventure, Horror, Humor
The world believes the notorious outlaw Billy the Kid was killed by Pat Garrett, but in reality the Kid is very much alive, the hired gun of Fineas Sproule's traveling spectacle of biological curiosities--or "freaks," as Billy calls them. In their latest adventure, Billy and crew confront their most vicious challenge yet: Jack the Ripper!
In London to visit a true Elephant Man, Billy, Sproule, and the company learn about the Whitechapel murders and the fact that disfigured people are being blamed for the killings and targeted for mob justice. As the group applies themselves to the case, Sproule looks for information at every bar in the city, while Billy tags along to drink whisky and flirt with prostitutes at each one-which might be a better way to find the Ripper than he realizes.

Yes sir. It filled the void in my life that the Lack of Goon has left, but was not as satisfying - the Billy backups were too short and never really felt like they got going, the original mini was the awesome though. I really liked Chimchanga! I love Powell.

by BlueStreak » Fri Sep 03, 2010 8:10 amOne Month to Live is the latest fifth week event introduced by the House of Ideas. The sad thing about these fifth week events is that they are often doomed to obscurity due to the mediocre ideas, writers and artists that are involved. I've often wondered if these sort of "events" were simply a way for Marvel and DC to scout talent out in a low risk setting. However, One Month to Live is unusual in that it features a host of established writers writing individual issues in a story arc. With Rick Remender, Stuart Moore and John Ostrander on the writing duties, it was conceivable that the story wouldn't end up being a forgettable one.
The story idea is a simple one. A good man is given terminal cancer after committing a good deed. However, the cancer comes with a surprising side effect, namely the power to manipulate matter. With one month left, Dennis Sykes is determined to make a difference in the world, even if he has to go through the entire Marvel Universe to do it! The concept is an interesting one, but Rick Remender doesn't really do anything interesting with it. All we're given is a mundane origin story of a character who by the end of the month will probably never be heard from again.
The art is neither spectacular or terrible. It really only helps propagate the idea that this comic is totally forgettable.
All in all, this is a totally forgettable and mundane issue. With promises of the Fantastic Four and the Savage Land in the future, it looks as if Dennis Sykes, the Terminal Cancer Man, will be making his way through the Marvel Universe in coming weeks. However, chances are no one's really going to bother to read about him.

by Garofani Spruzzo » Fri Sep 03, 2010 8:14 amRick Remender is a terribly uneven writer.
by BlueStreak » Fri Sep 03, 2010 8:16 am
He is.
I've also learned not to read comics while listening to the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack. It makes mundane comics seem awesome.

Consistently boring and overrated. All ideas, no execution, IMO.
Not that I'm pre-judging this or anything.

While we love a good fireside sipper, we don't know anyone in this town who's not ready for a refreshing warm-weather cocktail...whether or not it includes a kitschy mini-umbrella. And, while April showers bring May flowers, there are also some floral-inspired cocktails popping up, too.
But don't worry — these floral accents are subtle and come from ingredients like lavender-infused syrup, hibiscus-flavored spirits, and yes, even the petals themselves. And while you can't get these flower concoctions delivered, you can order 'em at one of these six popular Chicago restaurants. So, click through and pick your favorite.

The Shephelah is a range of hills between the Coastal Plains and the Jerusalem mountains in central Israel.
Other destinations[edit]
The Shephelah is characterized by many fertile hills, checkered with many ruins from ancient times. There are also a lot of small natural springs, which are almost always being diverted into ancient stone pools. A popular and famous hobby of Israeli teenagers is to repair and clean these pools or even build completely new ones. Most israelis from the central regions go to these pools to relax and cool off during the summer, and during the weekends its rare to be alone in those springs for a long amount of time. Its also common to see "chill out" zones and fruit trees (especually figs and raspberries) near those springs.
The Shephelah was a main and important region during biblical times. It is the gateway to Jerusalem and other big cities in the mountains, such as Hebron and Bethlehem, and there were many important cities in the Shephelah itself, such as Beit Shemesh and Gezer.
It was also the main battleground between the Israelites, who sat in the mountains, and their arch enemies the Philistines, a greek nation that invaded from the sea and conquered the coastal plains of Israel. One of the most famous battles in the world, the battle between David and Goliath, took place in Valley of Elah, one of two main valleys in the Shephelah (along with Ayalon vally).
During the israeli war of independence, the Shephelah was the main battleground between Israeli forces, who tried to break the road to Jerusalem, and the armies of Jordan and Iraq, who tried to reach the coastal plains and conquer the temporary capital of Israel, Tel Aviv. In the end, The line of truce between Israel and Jordan passed mostly through the Shephelah. During the six days war in '67, all of the western bank of the Jordan river was conquered by Israel, including the Jordanian Shephelah and the mountains of Judea and Samaria.

The Shephelah has beautiful views of the coastal plains from one side and the mountains of Judea and Samaria on the other side. Probably everywhere you will go you will have beautiful views.
As a central place in Israel since the days of the bible, the Shephelah has many marked trail routes that crosses the hills and valleys, while passing by springs and ruins. There isn't any organized reserve to pay and walk in a specific route. To travel here, you need to get a map of the area or to know exactly where your route starts, get there, and just start walking.
Like in the rest of Israel, each official trail is marked with 3 different colors, and you simply need to follow those 3 colors as they appear on rocks and trees throughout the route and tell you in which direction to go.

Stay safe[edit]
The Shephelah is very safe to travel. However, Though not as common as in the Negev desert, car theft is not uncommon.
If you go to a place that crosses the green line (the line between the west bank and the rest of Israel), It is highly recommended to coordinate your trip with the Israeli army, hire an armed medic. If you are going on a guided tour with another group, they will probably hire the medic and coordinate the trip for you. That said, travelling along major highways, like route 60 or 90, is common practice for locals and tourists alike. These are in Zone C, which is administered by the Israelis and does not require any special authorization.

DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 20 June 2012—The OCLC Board of Trustees has concluded that rather than moving forward with the appointment of Jack B. Blount as its President and CEO, it is in the best interest of OCLC to have Jay Jordan continue serving in these capacities. Mr. Jordan has agreed to postpone his retirement to continue leading OCLC.
The OCLC Board of Trustees believes Mr. Jordan's strong track record, his skills as a leader, and his ability to identify and navigate emerging trends, make him uniquely qualified to serve the nearly 72,000 institutions that use OCLC services.
Board Chair Larry Alford said, "The Board of Trustees has complete confidence in the global management team and the 1,250 employees, who are working diligently to serve libraries around the world and fulfill OCLC's mission and goals."
Mr. Alford also said, "The Board is committed to an orderly transition of leadership and will be assessing its succession planning process as it moves forward."
Mr. Jordan is the fourth president in OCLC's 43-year history. He came to OCLC after a 24-year career with Information Handling Services (IHS), an international publisher of databases, and prior to joining IHS, Mr. Jordan held positions with the 3M Corporation in Europe and the United States.

You are not logged in.
I have always felt that the potential of educational software has been vastly under-appreciated and as a result, vastly under-funded. I'm trying to brainstorm different ways to fix this, and this is one of my ideas. I just dished this up quickly so it's not supposed to look professional, it's just a brainstorm idea. Please tell me what you think about this and if it's in the right direction. Also any thoughts on learning in general would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I don't think my pdf is attaching ??
Anyway here it is, copied from the pdf, with the image attached:
There are a few reasons why I am choosing math as a prototype. One, math doesn't require all the fancy animations and interactive media that physics etc require - math is simple in its abstractness, so it would be a good prototype choice. Of course we would like to use graphics and audio as much as possible even in mathematics, but perhaps for now at least, they won't be needed as much. Two, there may disagreement over this, but math is widely perceived as one of the drier subjects in the sciences. This may be because of its abstractness and obscurity for people trying to pierce its cold, hard exterior. If we can spice up mathematics, we can spice up anything. Three, math proofs are can vary a lot, and so in a sense they can be one of the hardest to tackle when writing educational software. However, they could serve as an insightful proof-of-concept.
The Philosophy:
When reading math books, especially the rigorous ones that act more like encyclopedias rather than textbooks, it can be very easy to gloss over crucial information in definitions, theorems and proofs. Mathematics is a subject in which a lot of care must be taken when reading. Notes must be taken and questions must be asked. Normally, students engage in problem solving in the exercises at the end of a long chapter, or in the often insufficient class assignments. If you are self-studying, you may not even have solutions on hand to check with, which can throw you way off course, or reduce confidence and motivation. For true mastery of a subject, I think more interactivity is required. Interactivity stimulates learning and lets you practice what you have learnt.
Ultimately, I believe that learning mathematics should be a fully interactive activity, where progress is monitored nearly all the time, examples are provided, and tests are given to ensure that the student fully understands and appreciates what they have learned. In addition, everything, even the most vital proofs, should be proven by the student (guided by the software) when they are ready. For example, highschool students would be given the highschool version of the implicit function theorem to prove, while college students would be asked to prove the implicit function theorem in full generality. The software can be `` played" on various difficulty settings. More or less guidance will be provided to the student in the proof, based on the difficulty selected. By proving the crucial and important theorems themselves, students will gain an appreciation for how the theorems work from the inside, and gain insight into the proof techniques.
I believe that the greatest dilemma in writing educational software is that student responses can vary a lot. Unlike computational problems where the answer is simply a number, in a proof, for example, there may be many steps to solving a proof. How is a program supposed to keep track of these many steps, evaluate them, and give feedback? If we define one way of solving the proof as being the definitive way, then other, possibly more elegant ways of proving may be wrongfully rejected.
Until we have AI as advanced as humans in proof-reading, I fear we have no other choice but to implement only the methods of proof that we are aware of and reject all proofs that have not yet come to our attention or that are ridiculous. For each proof we would like to offer several avenues for the student to solve the proof, and the number of avenues available will depend directly on the amount of time we have to implement these avenues. If a student believes they have found an alternate method of proof not covered in the software, they can give us feedback about this and we can try to implement it, or at the very least note it as an alternative.
Right now, it seems that using math input to write proofs in the software as you would on paper is too complicated to implement. You would need advanced systems for reading and evaluating proofs (for example, teachers). This probably is possible at the moment, but only with a lot of people working at how to implement it. In the proof of concept, we will be using an easier-to-implement approach.
We prove proofs by applying ``proof techniques", otherwise known as ``abilities" (to get in touch with the RPG element of the software - I hope in the end the software develops into a fully-fledged Math RPG, combining the purposefulness of learning with the incentives of the most addictive RPG games), which are collected throughout the course of the game by solving problems, taking part in examples, etc. Eventually, the student will have amassed a library of techniques. When given a proof to solve, the student would reach into the library of proof techniques and pick one to start with. The student will then be asked how to apply the technique - this will have to be tailored to suit each proof. In this way, it is a little like a detective game, using clues to solve a crime. We expect the student to play the game with pen and paper in hand and to do scrap work while playing through the software. The software is there to provide guidance, incentive, and interactivity. We may need to implement certain tests to make sure the student is testing their ideas on paper and not blindly guessing.
As the student gains experience using proof techniques, they will gain the ability to automate certain proof techniques, such as basic algebra techniques like expanding brackets, or, even more advanced techniques when the time comes. After a technique is learnt, it will have its own page with examples and tutorials on how to use it. I would like this game to be {\em very} comprehensive in this respect. We must never let the student feel lacking in learning resources.
I believe there is even a potential advantage of this ``proof technique" method over traditional ``written down" proofs. By emphasising {\em techniques}, we are training the student's intuition more than their mechanical computation. After all, when you attempt a proof, you do not start with crystal clear ideas of where to go. You have to feel around in the dark until you can latch on to something. Here, we can teach students to draw from a library of techniques they have learnt and to apply them, following leads like a detective. Not every lead will succeed, but soon students will gain an intuition of which might.
In my following example, we are asked to prove the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for real numbers given the axioms for inner product spaces. You may have to zoom in to see the small writing:
At the end, we would ask several questions, like, why is it ok to take the square root of both sides. The student would then use axiom 1 in the inner product axioms to show that norms are positive, and hence the RHS is greater than the LHS, regardless if the sign of. We would also ask when equality occurs, which is another proof of its own. We finally conclude with a recap of why the proof method worked, any techniques we took from the proof, a grading based on how many mistakes we made (in arithmetic or blatantly wrong guesses - and only blatantly wrong guesses), and we then continue on to applications etc.
Evolving into a game... and my more distant daydreams
I optimistically believe it is possible for this to evolve into a full RPG game with characters and a story to captivate. The quests would be new discoveries in science, and the powers would be the abilities you have gained. It would be challenging and rewarding. Perhaps it would be hard for a math game to go RPG, but I believe it would be very easy to turn a physics or chemistry, or biology game (Come to think of it, a biology game would work REALLY WELL) into an RPG of some sort. One can dream of a mega-RPG where you can learn anything. Perhaps that would end up being a virtual Earth. Anyhow, even one tiny successful piece of software may start a revolution in education, and make textbooks redundant. It is a shame that the huge budgets and production values of today's best games are not also used for educational software, since I believe that the budgets used for those games could easily make the next World of ScienceCraft possible today.

hi Identity,
I'm still catching up on my reading, so, apologies for only just having seen this post.
I, too, think there's great potential in interactive learning resources. It's very disappointing that lots of the book publishers have just gone for the "convert the paper text book into an on-screen text book" route. It takes along time to make a game; usually involving a team of software writers. So how are you going to get this written?
Maybe you could make a small demo involving something simple. Forum members are usually happy to try things out and give constructive comments.

A building that once was a place for people to expand their minds through reading is now a place where the youth in the community can grow both physically and spiritually.
A building that once was a place for people to expand their minds through reading is now a place where the youth in the community can grow both physically and spiritually.
The former Geneseo Public Library building was bought in October 2011 by Bob Pettit and is now home to The Call to Victory Christian Youth Center.
"I was looking for batting cages, approximately 2,000-square feet, but everything I was finding was bigger than that," said Pettit. "I am a strong supporter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), and I asked Dan Pearson, co-director of ILLOWA FCA, if he saw a need for FCA to have a center where they could consolidate and have a central place for the huddles."
"There are only a handful of individual huddles that have their own building like this, so this is truely unique," said Pearson. "It is a building, but we want to draw people to Christ and what it means to have a relationship with Christ."
The Call to Victory Center provides meeting spaces for groups, FCA huddles, which include early morning, seventh-hour early release and evening huddles, which are located in the former Hammond Room; batting cages for teams, located in the former adult section of the library, and a multi-purpose space for movies, workouts and games, which is in the former childrens' section.
"We are all drawn in some way to sports, whether you played when you were in school, coached, are currently competing in a sport or a parent of an athlete," said Pearson. "So to combine athletics and faith it is just a good fit."
"We are not trying to take away from the church and youth groups," said Pettit. "We are just trying to strengthen those and catch the people who might not fall into those groups. It is the same thing with the physical aspect with the batting cages and our workout space, we are not taking away from the other facilities, but we are just trying to give people another option."
Right now, the scheduling for use of the The Call to Victory Center is run through Pettit and there must be adult supervision while the facility is in use.
"We are trying to fill every hour, but it is all on a volunteer basis," said Pettit. "This is a place that is not just for high-school students, but middle-school students and even youth softball teams have used the batting cages."
"The center is a great option for people in the community to use, and we encourage churches to have small group meetings here," said Pearson.
The first event held at the center was during the Jingle Bell Run, which used the facility for sign up and the awards ceremony, but the batting cages had been open before that.
Pearson said the interest in the center has really picked up and people are continuing to figure out what is going on at the center. The center is used at some point everyday.
"The center has been well-received and the faith community has been thrilled, but there are still a lot of questions," said Pearson. "So I encourage people to stop by to see what is going on. The best times are from 3:30 p.m. to about 8 p.m. This building is a model for what other communities could have."
"We are letting the young people in the community decide how they want to use the facility because we want to make sure they come," said Pettit of his visions for the future. "Our primary goal is to provide physical and social aspects and then interject the spiritual aspects."
"I would like to see that we don't have to lock the doors much because we have activities going on from 8 a.m. into the evening," said Pearson. "We can even use the center as a place for people to gather after football or basketball games."
"Our next phase is to try to have the center open everyday at 2 p.m., but we need to have volunteers to monitor the center," said Pettit. "Our goal is to have an opportunity so people have a place to go and come hang out."
"I would tell people to keep their eyes open because we are always looking for input," said Pearson. "We also are looking for options for things to do in the summer. The center will not close when the school year ends."
"The community is so behind us with donations and volunteerism, I couldn't be more grateful, and we will continue to need those," said Pettit. "I am very pleased with the start and with the way people have accepted and supported it."
"The donations have been great," said Pearson. "Bob is so committed on a personal level with the children and is so connected to the community that his faith plays out in what he does."
Pearson said having the center has really opened the door to what FCA is, which has been around since 1954. It also is allowing parents to take ownership in FCA because their children are involved.
"We are blessed and we are just letting God do his thing," said Pearson. "It has been fun to watch it unfold and we have come a long way. The kids know about it and it has been fun to watch the kids come through the doors. Our goal for FCA is to direct children to churches."

A post on the ManiaPlanet Forums from Nadeo explains they are not planning a retail version of TrackMania 2: Canyon, saying: "There is no box version scheduled right now." A separate post from Nadeo explains that their racing sequel will also not be released through Steam initially, though it may come to Valve's online service at a future time. Explaining that the game's use of the ManiaPlanet portal may be redundant with Steam, they refer to the possibility that users might have to buy a second copy of the game to achieve Steam integration in explaining that they don't envision making a decision on this until sometime next year: "So, if you really want it on Steam, I can suggest to wait of either see a change in their policy, so you can feel secure to buy it outside of it today or to wait to see if we go on it and all I can say to help is that if it happens, it is very likely to be next year." Meanwhile, if you are interested in the game's multiplayer economy, This post explains more of the "planets" that replace the "coppers" from previous TrackMania game, outlining how you can earn and spend them.
To wrap-up this info flood, as noted on the ManiaPlanet Forums, the embargo has been lifted from TrackMania 2: Canyon beta testers, who are now permitted to release opinions about the multiplayer beta test. Testers are also now allowed to post media, as can be seen in this thread, where there are loads of screenshots and YouTube videos of the game in action. Finally, the ManiaNews YouTube Channel now offers no fewer than eight video interviews discussing the game with Nadeo CEO Florent Castelnerac. Thanks TM XASECO developer Frans.

Johns Hopkins University: Disciplining of Professor for Pro-War Remarks
Category: Free Speech
Schools: Johns Hopkins University
Soon after the September 11 terrorist attacks, Johns Hopkins University Professor Charles H. Fairbanks voiced his support, at a public forum, for an aggressive campaign against states that harbor terrorists. He said that he would "bet anyone here a Koran" that his analysis was correct. One member of the audience charged that he sought to "assist people in conducting hate crimes" with his language. Even though Fairbanks apologized for his remark about the Koran, Dean Stephen Szabo demanded a written apology and eliminated his position as director of the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute, claiming that Fairbanks was unfit for the job. After media criticism of this dismissal, Dean Szabo reversed his decision.

Zucchini Butter Recipe courtesy of Newark Food Markets and Delawonderful
Plus, Medical Society's of Delaware's Obvious Campaign, The Great Exercise Chart & Get Healthy, Delaware Events
(page 1 of 4)
Zucchini Butter Recipe
I was so excited when I first tried zucchini bread because it tasted like cake. Never in my dreams did I imagine that there could be a zucchini butter. Willy Wonka should look into zucchini because it clearly has serious delicious potential. This recipe can be used as a dip, spread or side dish and is courtesy of Newark Food Markets and Delawonderful.
Zucchini Butter
- 2 pounds zucchini or assorted summer squash (feel free to use less or add extra—cooking times will vary)
- 1/4 cup olive oil or butter
- 2 minced shallots, garlic, or combination of both
- Salt and pepper
(Makes about 2 cups)
1. Coarsely grate the zucchini. Let it drain in a colander for 3 to 4 minutes or until you are ready to begin cooking. To hasten cooking time, squeeze the water out of the zucchini by wringing it in a clean cloth towel.
2. In a deep skillet, heat the olive oil/butter. Briefly sauté the shallots or garlic. Add the zucchini and toss. Cook and stir over medium to medium-high heat until the zucchini reaches a spreadable consistency, about 15 minutes. If you scorch the bottom, turn the flame down! (And scrape those delicious bits into the butter for added flavor—you can splash in a little water to help deglaze the pan.) The zucchini will hold its bright green color and slowly caramelize into a nice vegetable jam.
3. Enjoy!

- 1 cucumber diced
- 1 red or green pepper diced
- 4 celery ribs chopped
- 1/2 large red onion chopped
- 2 tomatoes diced
- 1 lb. feta crumbled
- olives (I used one small can diced)
- 6 pepperoncini diced
- juice of 2 lemons
- several drops of hot sauce or I used cayenne pepper
- salt pepper & garlic to taste
- 3 Tblsp. olive oil
- Mix all solid ingredients together. Toss with lemon juice, hot sauce and spices. Drizzle with olive oil
Terri's Notes
- Pepperoncini, also known as Tuscan peppers, are sweet Italian peppers you often find on a salad bar or served with carry out pizzas. They're available in the canned goods aisle near pickles or among the ethnic foods.
- Many similar recipes also use bottled Balsamic Vinaigrette on this salad, but do be brave and try this all-fresh version.

Difference between revisions of "Sana'a"
Revision as of 11:30, 16 July 2012
Sana'a is the capital of Yemen, located in the Yemeni Mountains and generally the first destination for travellers to that country. See the Stay Safe section of this article and the Yemen country page for important safety advice.
One of the oldest continuously-inhabited cities in the world (others being Jericho, Damascus and Aleppo), Sana'a is believed to have been founded by Shem, the son of Noah. As a result, the city has the unlikely nickname of "Sam City".
Get in
By plane
Sana'a International Airport is the hub for Yemenia, Yemen's national airline. It is also served by other airlines, such as Emirates, Turkish Air, Royal Jordanian Airlines, Egypt Airlines, Syrian airlines, Qatar Airways, and Lufthansa. Also budget airlines, such as Air Arabia (www.airarabia.com) and FlyDubai now service Sana'a. There are two flights weekly from London-Heathrow. Emirates and Qatar Airways connect Sana'a to larger hubs in Doha and Dubai.
By bus
Yemen has a few bus companies. Sana'a is connected by all major cities (Aden, Ta'izz, Marib, Sayun, etc) via bus. Perhaps the best bus company in Yemen is Raha, their buses are in good condition and fares are reasonable. The buses are still new and the company was founded in 2008. Remember to obtain travel permit (tasrih) from tourism police in the Ministry of Tourism building. Every town has military checkpoint when entering/leaving the town. You will be turned back without the permit. Licenses (Tasirih) are issued free of charge. When applying, you need your passport - no photos - and list of places you are going to visit and time period for the travel. Then you need to take many photocopies of your permit which you handle over in military checkpoints if they ask. It's useful also to take photocopies of your passport pages. A very convenient way for you and for your fellow passengers is to give a pile of travel permit copies to the bus driver and he can distribute them to those in concern. Tell also your nationality to driver or military personnel; they need to know. Note that there are also many traffic police checkpoints. They are not interested in your permit; only those with green uniforms and big guns are.
Get around
Sana'a is a big city which, in common with many other developing-world capitals, is spreading in all directions at once. Visitors will almost certainly have to use taxis or hired cars to get around, as the street maps often leave much to be desired.
There are many "Dabaabs" or mini vans that go on different routes around the city. They serve as public buses and are quite cheap. They have fixed routes and cost 15-30 riyals/ride.
Taxi to the airport from the centre should cost 1000 rials (August 2008), the other way you are asked 2000 Rials, but with a bit of haggling and perseverance you can get it down to 1200.
Cars are used a lot but they are mostly 4x4s or pick up trucks. Drivers tend to use the horn excessively which is normal in this beautiful congested city.
The Old City of Sana'a is World Heritage listed and makes a great place to see the uniquely Yemeni style of architecture - multiple-storey tower houses with the distinctive qamariya windows. Within the Old City is the Souk al-Milh, arguably the best souk (marketplace) in the Arabian Peninsula.
Jabal an-Nabi Shu'ayb is the highest mountain in the Arabian Peninsula and one of the most prominent mountains in the world. It is 3,666 meters (12,028 feet) high and is located on the Sana'a-Al Hudaydah highway about 30 km away from the city.
Sana'a is a great place for people-watching and culture observing. The unhurried pace of Yemeni life, coupled with the almost total lack of industrialisation seen in nearby countries, means that it's quite possible to pull up a chair in a coffee shop and watch the world go by for hours on end.
If you want an experience you can only get in Yemen (and are prepared to risk your health): participate in a qat session. Qat (khat) is a mild narcotic chewed by most males in Yemen. They spend their afternoons hanging out, chewing the leaf, and conversing. A bag will cost no more than 5 dollars, and you can get "inferior" product for a cheaper price. Side effects are lack of appetite and insomnia. Qat is considered by many as one of the prime causes of Yemen being the poorest country in the region.
Yemen is a great place to study Arabic for several reasons: 1. Languages other than Arabic are much less commonly spoken than they are in nearby countries. 2. The living cost is low so you can afford to live and study here for longer period of time. 3. There are several excellent Arabic language institutes that offer both group and private courses with flexible schedules and reasonable prices.
The Yemen College of Middle Eastern Studies (YCMES) [5] offers courses in Arabic language as well as academic seminars in English language about the contemporary Middle East. With over 20 years of experience, the YCMES is the first and only accredited program in Yemen (i.e. students can transfer credit to their home universities). Regular tuition packages include accommodation, meals, excursions, cultural activities, wireless internet, library, etc. The YCMES can also helps with international and domestic travel arrangements.
Other options are Sana'a Institute of the Arabic Language (SIAL), the Center for Arabic Language Studies (CALES), and Saba Institute for the Arabic Language, all of which are located in the Old City.
Additionally, Yemen Institute for Arabic Language (YIAL) a teacher owned institute that offers similar courses outside the Old City, although has a very good accommodation both in the Old City and in the institute itself. YIAL organises activities and trips and predominantly offers private courses.
Unless you have work lined up as an expat, work in Sana'a (and elsewhere in Yemen) will be very hard to come by. The majority of the locals sitting by the road will be waiting to be hired as manual labourers or domestic staff - in the latter role competing with guest workers from across the Red Sea. Those with good abilities in Arabic may be able to find work teaching English, however this will be informal and exceptionally temporary work. Schools such as AMIDEAST, MALI, and YALI hire English teachers, but you will likely need a Bachelor's and some sort of teaching certification.
Almost everywhere you look, you will have the chance to buy the curved dagger (jambiya) worn by local men. This purchase can be simply of the dagger and its accompanying sheath, however handmade belts and silver pouches are also for sale, with many tourists opting to purchase each item separately. When purchasing a jambiya, remember first and foremost that it counts as a weapon for customs purposes, even though it is not used as one anymore. Secondly, bear in mind that the sheath is predominantly leather with either a base metal or (in more expensive models) silver working added. Traditionally, handles were made of animal horn or even ivory. While it is doubtful that the handles sold today as being made from either of these products are the real thing, a wooden or amber handle may be a better option. If a real jambiya seems too much, there are also pendants and brooches commonly available in the shape of the knife and its sheath.
Necklaces and jewellery are also common souvenirs, and many of these will in fact be made of the semi-precious stones the souvenir sellers claim. Nevertheless, a healthy grain of salt should be added to any belief that one is actually purchasing a necklace of lapis lazuli or anything like that.
Contrary to guidebooks such as Lonely Planet, bargaining is expected and worthwhile. If you are with local guides, a common approach is to have them ask for the "Yemeni price", however any bargaining on the part of the tourist will result in discounts. Bear in mind, too, that what may seem an absurdly cheap price for an item in Western terms will still be a great return for many locals.
Yemen's currency, the rial (riyal), is subject to high inflation. As a result, many prices (particularly those quoted to white-skinned visitors) will be given in American dollars or even Euros. Any of these three currencies will be accepted by the seller, so ask for the cost in whichever currency you are carrying at the time. Discounts for paying in one currency or the other are not high enough to warrant only paying in local money (for example), but luck may be on your side.
Visitors should be careful when eating from street stands and the like, as the same warning which applies to tap water applies to poorly-prepared food. Salta is a popular Yemeni lunch dish that is served very hot.
Nearly all Yemeni food is budget. An average meal at a Sana'a restaurant will cost less than 2 dollars. Chicken is ubiquitous. A tuna steak served with rice costs 150-200 riyals.
Two words: Hadda Street. That is where the more "upscale" restaurants are located. If you want a clean environment with a larger range of food, this is where you should go.
The five star hotels (Sheraton and Mövenpick) have decent, but pricey western food (and beer!). In the Haddah neighborhood you will find a number of more expensive restaurants like Grill 101 (American), Deja Vu restaurant and coffee shop, Zorba's (Greek) and Mehraja (Indian).
As in the rest of the country, the tap water should be avoided at all costs. Bottled water, both chilled and at room temperature, is readily available and very cheap - as is the normal range of juices and softdrinks.
Nice tea and coffee house is "Friends Kafeteria" in Al-Tahrir area, Mocka Intersection. Here you can involve yourself into interesting conversations with Yemeni men. Also food is available. It looks like this place never closes down.
Near the Shumaila Hari Supermarket you will find the Coffee Trader, a place where you can get an excellent latte or cappuccino at Starbuck's prices and eat a piece of carrot cake while checking your e-mail on their wireless internet hotspot. What a treat!
Good option to stay is new part of Sana'a. It's walking distance to Old part of town but hotels offer better value to money. Around Tahrir area there are about 10 hotels to choose, ranging from five star Taj Sheba hotel to no-star hotels. recommended are 2 Wadi Hadramout hotels. More expensive Wadi Hadramout hotel is cross the main road from Tahrir Square, other more economical is near Taj Sheba hotel at Ali Abdulmogny Street. There double room with bathroom and TV costs about 2000 Rials (usd 10). Staff is very helpful and friendly and some speak English.
Stay safe
Sana'a itself is relatively safe, in contrast to some other parts of Yemen.
Travellers should, however, take care particularly in the Old City as the streets are poorly signposted and unwary visitors will often find themselves in someone's courtyard.
Maps of Yemen tend to have details of the city, but (as with road maps in the country) they are unreliable. If at all possible, visitors should find themselves a local guide. Security escorts are probably unnecessary, although the situation can change rapidly.
Gun carrying is very normal as many men hold or have a gun for traditional reasons. One should not be alarmed at the sight of a gun, even a Kalashnikov.
Get out
The awe-inspiring Dar Al-Hajr (often known as the Rock Palace) is located in Wadi Dahr roughly 30 minutes from the city centre and makes a very easy afternoon's excursion. You will be able to take one of the local taxis. A full day excursion can take you to Thulla, Kawkaban and Shibam (not the Hadramout version but the Amran version) which is approximately 55 km from the outskirts of Sana'a. It is possible to stay overnight in Kawkaban, although there are only two hotels (more like full-board guest-houses as there are no restaurants). Accommodation and meals costs about 7 Euros.

(2) In addition, ZBS assesses the health implications for the general public and (3) works on preparedness and response for such incidents. This also includes informing decision-makers and professionals on incidents and to advise and support them on measures to be taken accordingly. In summary, in managing biological incidents, the centre's tasks include
- identification,
- preparedness,
- information,
- response.
The centre's work is not limited exclusively to the identification, assessment and handling of possible bioterrorist attacks. Rather the skills already acquired and those to be developed are also used for the investigation of natural outbreaks or those caused by accidents involving special and highly pathogenic agents and toxins.

Retro Inspired Jumper, 1964
Added Mar 17, 2008
by sewextreme
Atlanta Area, Ge...
Time (prep): 1 hour
Time (sewing): 2 hours
This versatile jersey jumper was a lot of fun to make and sews up very quickly. There are only six pattern pieces. If you are comfortable working with pleats, you will have no problems with this design. The overall construction is very simple, but the finished look is so haute couture!
According to the description in Burda World of Fashion (9/2007), this pattern was adapted from a pattern in their 9/1964 issue!
I chose a jersey with a bit of weight to it because I didn't want it to be flimsy. The skirt has four pleats in the front and two in the back which gives a little ease to the hip area while creating a lovely hourglass shape.
The empire waist is flattering to all figure types. The deep "V" in the front- ooh la la, it lengthens the neck and is ever so slimming. Of course, it was designed to be worn with a turtleneck, for modesty's sake!
The pleats in the bodice conform to the bustline so nicely. You will see this in the photo details.
Georgia weather of late has been unpredictable- I had intended to wear it with a turtleneck when I made it a few nights ago. But now it feels like spring, and I want to lighten it up a bit! I have included two different looks in the pictures: a more conservative look for business, and a funky casual look for everyday. I think it would look great with a t-shirt underneath too. This is an appropriate look for women of all ages, and it can be dressed up or down very easily.
This pattern has no zipper and no interfacing. I did use stay tape (ribbon) along the neckline to keep its' shape. Like with all knits, use a narrow zigzag stitch and stretch the fabric a little as you sew to keep the fabric from puckering. I used a twin needle to finish off the hem (2") because I like the look.
This jumper is another product of my "Empty the Stash" campaign. Total cost, including notions- $5-$6. (I always buy my fabrics on sale!)
As always, happy sewing!

Okay, I'm DEFINTIELY making this, I have this issue of Burda. It looks like a very versatile officewear-type piece you could wear many different ways and not have people thinking 'here she comes in that dress again…' which I fear people must be thinking about a lot of MY current workwear! You have done a beautiful job on this.
Mar 17, 2008, 12.35 PMby sewlikecarolyn
Oh, so cute! I love the way it looks with the DKNY blouse, great job!

County services go online
MARSHALL CO. — County residents and business professionals now have a new option when it comes to some county services.
Marshall County rolled out online permitting Tuesday.
"We are now offering a 24/7 service, not just an 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. service," said Shawnda Wenino of Marshall County GIS.
Individuals interested in renewing their contractor registration or getting a food service or driveway permit can now log onto the Marshall County website (www.co.marshall.in.us) and click the online permitting link under "County Services." The entire permit application process can now be carried out online from the comfort of a home or office.
"Our goal is to have building permits, septic permits, complaints and variances available online in the next couple of months," added Wenino.
County building commissioner Chuck DeWitt introduced the online permitting process to other county employees and business people in the community Monday during a press conference at the Marshall County Building. After filling out all the necessary information, two people in each department are emailed with your request. Some permits could take as little as five minutes to register for, while others that involve action on behalf of a county department (for example, a driveway permit requires Highway Department personnel to perform several inspections of the area) could take a little longer.
DeWitt said that the company that built the online permitting process for the county, The Schneider Corporation was "the perfect partner" for the project.
"This system was designed to make things easier for everyone," commented Schneider Corporation representative Andrew Harrison.
He added, "We are very proud to have Marshall County online today."
The Schneider Corporation also worked on the county's GIS system Beacon.
DeWitt noted that while permit fees can be paid online, the county is still accepting payment via mail or in person.
Wenino said later that the process to start online permitting has been in the works as an idea for quite some time, but the work really began in August.
"The service we are providing to the community is the main thing," said Wenino.


text: House Will Have To Debate Farm Bill January 29, 2013 08:35 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jim Dickrell Dairy Herd Management Dairy Editor Email If the farm bill is ever to pass, it will have to go through a more normal legislative process, say lobbyists who have worked on Capitol Hill for years. It cannot be wedged into larger budget bills that get rammed through Congress without debate. "If this bill is going to see the President's desk, it has to pass through the House [of Representatives] floor, including through the amendment process where all members have an opportunity to have input," says Tyson Redpath, senior vice president of government affairs for The Russell Group, Inc. Redpath lobbies on behalf of dairy processors and the International Dairy Foods Association. "We will have to let this process unfold." Redpath and several lobbyists spoke this morning at Dairy Forum 2013 here in Orlando, Fla. "Only half a dozen House members understand dairy policy, and only a couple serve on the agriculture committee," adds Harry Katrichis, of counsel , for The Advocacy Group, who lobbies for California Dairy, Inc. "And it's rarer and rarer to have rural Democrats serve on the ag committees. Those Democrats that do are there because of feeding programs, such as SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program)." As a result, lobbyists for farm and dairy policy must continue efforts to educate members of Congress and their staff. The disagreement over supply management still splits dairy producer groups and dairy producers and processors. Jackie Klippenstein, VP, industry and legislative affairs for Dairy Farmers of America, says the dairy stabilization program contained in the Dairy Security Act already is the product of compromise. Originally, the stabilization program was mandatory along with minimum, $4/cwt margin insurance. Only the supplemental portion of the program was voluntary. Now, dairy producers would have the option of signing up for minimum, $4 margin insurance. If they do, however, they must also agree to the stabilization program. "The program might not be ideal for everybody, but it does suit the needs of the industry," she says. But opponents of the stabilization program fear it could morph into something more onerous later. "What's past is prologue," says Redpath. "The Northeast Dairy Compact became the milk income loss contract program and on and on we go." When—and even whether—a farm bill gets done is anyone's guess. But the lobbyists were mildly optimistic because so many programs and so many dollars are at stake. Collin Peterson (Dem., Minn.), the ranking minority member on the House Ag Committee, and Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) are very good friends and "classmates" who entered Congress at the same time, points out Redpath. They should be able to get a deal done. Back to news
