My dear lady, as you no doubt understand this will take time and we must all manage with what we have at our immediate disposal while these new ships are built. We can not even spare a small amount of these now obsolete Battlecruisers for your sector as her majesty feels that the Core must be protected if hostilities with the Assyrians begin in earnest. The colonies will have to fight on as best they can I'm afraid. I'm sure you understand old bean.

Warhead wrote:MEANWHILE IN ORBIT ANOTHER BATTLE RAGES
For those of you who may not have noticed the space action in the background while the UDSM Commander achieved escape velocity in his make shift rocket chair then here is some info. The situation between the Britannian Navy and Assyrian Demi-Destroyer went to hell. Despite repeated attempts to hail the Britannian ships and have them stand down the two squadrons of Britannian Strike Fighter kept closing to attack range. Making a judgement call the Assyrian Commander captaining the Venus engaged with point defence and blasted both squads from the void. Diplomacy having failed and the Britannian Ships targeting and shields starting to engage the Assyrians outclassed spent no time coming to a decision... Politics be damned, people were dying down there! The fighters launched by the Agamemnon are swatted aside with a torrent of point defence laser fire.
[Rules are nothing fancy, Britannian Crew and Tech are lower so most Skill rolls work on a 5+ to hit or succeed on a D6 roll. Assyrian Tech and Crew are Elite so have on most rolls a 4+ with one re-roll per turn of combat. However, The Britannian Ship has more numerous main weapons than the Venus, but the Venus is far more manoeuvrable AND has a super weapon. Britannian Fighters are 2nd Generation and so require to get within knife range to launch an attack. Each Ship gets to make a repair roll for shields and damage at he end of every three combat turns and each may perform a Captains Hero Feat once at any point within the three combat turns, for any skill roll].
The Britannian Battlecruiser Agamemnon takes the full brunt of the Super Laser which cuts through the larger ships shielding and hull effortlessly.
The Britannian Battlecruiser Boadicea bombards the Venus as she pores on the speed. The Assyrians divert as much power as they can to shields, specifically the rear.
Keel severed and blazing fires erupting throughout the ship the Agamemnon refuses to quit and blasts of energy span the void in fury. The Venus with her smaller main guns makes up for the fact with more advanced technology and an Elite Crew. Both ships rake each other relentlessly.
Three of the Boadicea's Valkyre fighters race forward and attract the Venus' defensive fire. Despite their tight twisting evasive manoeuvres two fighters die.
Meanwhile the Boadicea fires volley after volley of Canon Battery fire but the Venus's shields refuse to give.
But a lucky shot shorts out a shield at the wrong moment and the Venus loses a secondary engine assembly to the Boadicea's Grand Battery before she can pull behind the wrecked Agamemnon.
Another squadron of Valkyrie push the envelope powering to attack speed in pursuit.
The Boadicea continues to fire as she comes about to engage the Venus with her main weapons.
But the Assyrian Captain uses his Hero Feat to make an emergency manoeuvre to starboard and the Venus responds swinging her nose about without undue stress on the ships hull.
On the far side of the Agamemnon there is no let up from the fusillade of shots, thankfully the Agamemnon's Grand Battery was taken out previously so the weight of firepower rests solely with the Assyrian Ship.
The Assyrians use the advantage to strip the Agamemnon of her last Main Battery and another hit explodes on the main decks leaving the ship a powerless hulk.
The Valkyrie fighters catch up with the Venus and commence their attack runs. One is blasted apart by deadly point defence.
The Valkyrie slash in to knife edge ranges and release their payload.
Two attacks fail to penetrate the shields but the shields are overwhelmed and the last attack hits!
Another secondary engine is lost and the ships speed and manoeuvring decreases.
While the Britannian Boadicea struggles to clear a line of sight to the Venus the Captain takes the opportunity to use the lull in the fighting to fire a MK-IV "Fat-Man" Torpedo at the planet below. The Commander breathes a sigh of relief, mission accomplished!

The cult and mouse game between the Destroyer Venus and the Britannian Heavy Cruiser Boadicea continues. Despite keeping the wreckage of the Britannian sister ship between them Boadicea manages to get line of sight with two of her Grand Turrets. Unfortunately the Venus' shields are up to the job.
The last three Valkyre 1st Generation strike fighters power in on another attack run, their ordinance has already been spent so this must be a suicide run!
The Point defence network desperately try to destroy the suicide charge.
The fighters face a blistering salvo of anti fighter firepower, even the main cannon try to engage even though the odds are slim.
Two Valkyre die before they can do any harm...
but the last fighter slashes into the side of the Venus and one of the Light Super Laser assemblies is obliterated and the hull on the main deck is breached.
As damage control parties frantically set to work on the breached deck the Venus and the Boadicea yet again continue to circle the wreckage and fail to bring their weapons to bare. Major Natalya is once more on the Bridge after her ordeal and after a short update takes command...
Comms: "I have something, unusual Captain. I'm receiving a distress from the Boadicea..?" +++
Major Natalya, looking over at her comms officer knows he is not one to make jokes at a time like this.
"Tactical! Are their shields still up?"
Tactical: "Aye, ma'am. Shields are up and weapons powered but I am detecting that their main targeting systems have shut down and are no longer focused on us."+++
...What by Assyria could this mean? "Comms, patch that distress call through."
+++BNS Boadicea: "By the Gods help us! AAAAAAAAAAAGH *KTSHHHHHHHH!*"+++
Comms: "We've lost transmission Captain."
Tactical: "Their Hyperdrive just went on line!"
Startled out of her puzzlement Major Natalya looked to her screens in time to see the Boadicea engage her Hyperdrive...
before disappearing leaving the Venus the uncontested badass in local space.
Tactical: "I have probable course projections Captain, shall I send them to Helm Control?"
"No, that wont be necessary Tactical our job here is still unfinished, have the TacCom project a full planetary bombardment on the Pretoria space port."
Tactical: "Aye, Captain. Targets set and awaiting your command."
"Commence firing."
Tactical: Cursory scans indicate a massive buildup of energy on the target location..? Only, it isn't us."
"What?!." Startled Natalya was forced to remain calm, it had been a most unusual day and it looked like it still wasn't over yet.
Tactical: "I don't know Captain, it's like nothing I've ever seen before, TacCom confirms our bombardment has had no effect."
The garrison on Dinoreich has been much distressed by the news of the defeat of the HMS Artemis and the HMS Boadicea. However it was my privilege to lead the men in prayers for the fallen at this morning's roll call and it is with much pride that I may now inform you that every Britiannian soldier stationed on Dinoreich is firmly resolved to do his duty.
My report that the rebuilt Ironclads 'Vulcan' and 'Pegasus' are proving highly successful in containing the villainy of the self-styled mercenary pirates of Tyrus will in no way compensate for the loss of two battlecruisers. Though it is my hope that should the White Sector fleet should be sore tested in a likewise fashion that our nerve shall not fail us and that the Assyrians will not leave the field of battle without having tasted Britannian cold steel.

A Cool Collab, The New 'It' Shoe, & More Fashion News
Click through our slideshow to see everything we're obsessing over this month--and be ready to let the sparks fly!
The star-spangled baubles on our radar right now are the Gold Earrings ($395) from Alexis Bittar and Phillip Lim's inspired collaboration. Renowned jewellery designer Bittar crafted the glamorous chandelier earrings, which 33 models wore in Lim's F/W 13 runway collection.
Recycling is the key word used in the making of eco-friendly clothing--but the masterminds behind Topshop and Reclaim to Wear's second collection call it "upcycling," the process of converting discarded materials into something not only useful, but beautiful too. Either term works for us, as long as the result includes these ditsy floral camis and lace-paneled dresses. The stylish, sustainable pieces incorporate unused--but unquestionably lovely--prints from Topshop's previous seasons, so consider us sold!
Floral Panel Dress ($140)
Oversize Floral Shirt ($90)
When Hedi Slimane took over the Saint Laurent label, he introduced the new Janis shoe (Kate Moss, Nicole Richie, and Carey Mulligan are fans), which comes in three closed-toe styles and is poised to take over the Tribute's reign. Shop these soon-to-be classics, like the Signature Janis Studded T-Strap Escarpin Pumps ($1095) and Classic Janis Escarpin Pumps ($775) in Pink Leather.

Sartorial discoveries like new shoes and Topshop's latest collab never fail to thrill us, but sometimes, a good, old-fashioned TV drama does the trick too! FX's new show, which premieres July 10th, involves a serial killer operating on the U.S.-Mexico border and two detectives--one of them, played by Diane Kruger, with Asperger's--on a mission to solve the case. Needless to say, we'll be tuning into The Bridge every week!
If you're as obsessed with British model Cara Delevingne as we are, snag Colour Me Good Cara ($11) illustrated by Mel Simone Elliott. Delevingne's signature funny expressions and quirky poses lend themselves perfectly to this creative tome. Excuse us as we dig up our old box of Crayolas…

This summer, the Victoria & Albert Museum pays homage to one of our favourite eras in fashion history: the London club kid scene in the '80s. Celebrities who frequented the underground nightlife spots like Blitz--Boy George, Steve Strange, John Galliano--wore highly stylised, theatrical costumes, which had a profound impact on Vivienne Westwood, Katharine Hamnett, Bodymap, and Galliano himself. The museum's Club to Catwalk: London Fashion in the 1980s exhibit showcases club kid-era outfits from those designers and many more.

My updated post for Massanutten Success
Four Keys of Ironman Execution
I listen to this podcast put out by the coaches of Endurance Nation. They tend to interview their athletes after their Ironman events, which is always interesting to me (I Love Race Reports!). They produced a segment called "Four Keys of Ironman Execution" and this is their four keys to a success Ironman.
Most of this could also pertain to a 100 mile event.
Execution, not Fitness. All you've done is build a vehicle. Ironman racing is about how you DRIVE that vehicle, it is NOT about the vehicle. It's easy to get caught up in the buzz and energy of the day, but creating and sticking to the right plan for you is the only thing that will lead to the best possible day.
What shape I am in on race day is not relevant now. I've driven the vehicle to the starting line. I now need to steer that vehicle around on the rocks, in the best time possible, while feeding it and watering it, to its (my) best ability.
The Line. Nothing on race day really matters until you reach The Line on the run. The Line is the point at which continuing becomes very, very difficult. You define success as simply not slowing down at The Line. EVERYTHING before The Line is simply about creating conditions for success for when the Line comes to you.
The Line, in the EN talk, is mile 18 of the marathon. There are many smaller lines of MMT.
My first goal of MMT, is to finish. ALWAYS the goal. But I have many smaller side goals. Built to support my goal of a sub 30 hour MMT finish.
Get to Edinburg before 7am.
Get to Elizabeth Furnace before lunchtime.
Get to Habron Gap before 6pm.
Get OFF Bird Knob before daylight.
Get to Picnic Area before daylight.
I've also got carrots in this run.
I get to see Wayne Mongold at Edinburg and do a quick bottle exchange with him.
I get to see my crew at Elizabeth Furnace for the first time.
Habron is almost the "half way point" for MMT.
I pick up Wonderboy as a pacer at Camp Roo.
I pick up Mongold as a pacer at Visitor Center. So I have many little things to look forward to, all day long.
The Box: All day long you are going to race inside a box defined by what you can control. Ask yourself "What do I need to do right NOW to create the conditions for success at The Line? Is what I'm doing right now counter to this goal?
- Keep the box as big as you can for as long as you can.
- Keep in the box only the things you can control. Let go of the rest.
- Exercise this decision-making process inside your box: Observe the situation, Orient yourself to a possible course of action, Decide on a course of action, Act (OODA Loop).
The Box mentality has become pretty important as I sit and fret this week. The weather is something I cannot control. I've also not had any opportunity to have ANY sort of heat acclimatization this last week (or really, at all.)
So I will only control the things within The Box. I can make sure the crew has ice for me. I can make sure I utilize the crew and ice as much as possible.
The One Thing. If you swallowed the Kool-Aid we're serving you here, you will show up at the Line, in your Box, ready to git'erdun and simply not slow down. But we're not done yet. There is still some psychological stuff you need to address. During the course of your race day, expect your body to have a conversation with your mind:
"Look, Mind, you've had me out here slogging away for 132 miles. This is really starting to get old and very painful. You need to give me a good reason to keep going forward. If you don't have one, I'm gonna slow down and you can't stop me!"
Another point I got from the podcast, not one of their 4 points, but very worthwhile: Your racing self owes it to the training self.
Racing self needs to respect all that the training self did, to set up the racing self. Racing self needs to suck it up and embrace the hurt to honor the training self.
Training self put itself out there always-ran in cold weather, cold downpours of rain, icy windy ass days, sloppy slow mud days, early early morning runs; cold clothes changes in parking lots; runs endured on treadmills. You owe it to training self to get out there and endure on racing day, racing self.
So that's my 4 Keys to MMT.

Ginger & Sea Bands For Nausea
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Can massage be done during your chemo treatment? Will "sea bands" or ginger gum help with nausea?
Jun Mao, MD, MSCE, Assistant Professor of Family Medicine and Community Health at Penn Medicine, responds:
You can definitely incorporate massage during treatment and there are some studies to suggest massage helps distress, pain, insomnia and fatigue.
The research on "sea bands" and "ginger gum" are inconclusive. Ginger probably has the most research and has been shown to help with nausea in general, so it may be helpful for nausea related to cancer treatment as well. The ACS has a nice article on it. It can be found in teas, gum, candies, drinks and supplements.
Sea bands work with acupressure- that is they apply pressure to an area on the wrist, known as PC6, that has been shown to help with nausea relief. They are helpful for some women during pregnancy and may be helpful for cancer treatment related nausea.
With that said, given both are so cheap and easy to implement and safe, my recommendation is try it. If it is helpful, that's great.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. See the full transcript of Integrating Complementary Therapies into Your Cancer Care.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been fined after his sarcastic appraisal of officials following the loss to Sunderland.
The Football Association on Thursday evening announced Mourinho had been fined £10,000 in relation to comments made about the match officials following the 2-1 Barclays Premier League reverse on April 19.
The Portuguese also failed in an appeal against his £8,000 fine for his conduct towards referee Chris Foy at the end of a defeat at Villa Park in March.
Mourinho lost his 77-match unbeaten home record in the Premier League to Sunderland, whose win at Stamford Bridge sparked a revival which secured their top-flight status.
Following the win, which saw his assistant Rui Faria sent to the stands and later given a six-match stadium ban, Mourinho congratulated his Chelsea players, Sunderland and then moved on to the officials.
Mourinho refused to answer questions from the media, instead making a statement.
He described referee Mike Dean's performance as "unbelievable" and "fantastic", before moving on to referees' chief Mike Riley, saying "what they are doing during the whole season is fantastic, especially in the last couple of months, especially in matches involving the teams that were in the title race, it's absolutely fantastic".
It was found that Mourinho's comments, in themselves, did not question the officials' integrity, but amounted to disrepute and improper conduct.
A FA statement read: "Following an independent regulatory commission hearing, Jose Mourinho has been fined £10,000 in relation to comments he made after Chelsea's game against Sunderland on April 19, 2014.
"While the commission did not find that Mourinho's post-match comments called into question the integrity of the referee appointed to the above fixture and/or the integrity of Mike Riley, general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, they did find that the comments brought the game into disrepute and the charge for improper conduct was found proven.
"Meanwhile, Mourinho has lost his appeal against an independent regulatory commission's decision to fine him £8,000 in relation to Chelsea's game against Aston Villa on on March 15, 2014.
"Mourinho denied a breach of FA Rule E3 in that his behaviour in re-entering the field of play and approaching the Match Referee in an attempt to speak to him, in or around the 90th minute of the game amounted to improper conduct.
"The charge was found proven by an independent regulatory commission and that decision was upheld by an appeal panel on Thursday."

A crowd of 3,872 looked on as ETSU took a 35-13 halftime lead and then pulled away in the second half for the 35-point victory. The Bucs improved to 4-6 on the season, while
"I saw a lot of encouraging things out there - five guys in double figures, 20 assists, and a nice first game for Greg Surmacz (Peterborough, Ontario)," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team now gets to enjoy a four-day break before returning to Johnson City to prepare for the second half of the season. "Whether you're 10-0 or 4-6, the Christmas break is always a nice layoff. I'm not one for excuses, but we are a banged up team and we've struggled so far this season so I think we need this time off."
In the first half, the Bucs led by a score of 16-10 and their defensive pressure finally began to make an impact on the Bulldogs' offensive efforts.
In the second half, the Bulldogs actually cut the lead to as few as 11 points at 61-50 at the mark. However, from there the Bucs would outscore
ETSU forced 30 turnovers by the Bulldogs, held a 49-39 rebounding advantage, collected 13 steals and shot 45 percent from the floor. The Bucs were also an impressive 48 percent from 3-point range and held Union to just 35 percent from the floor for the game.
Along with Strong's 22 points, the Bucs got an additional 22 from junior guard Tim Smith (

Georgia Lawmaker Claims 'Making Fun Of Someone' Isn't Protected Speech; Seeks To Outlaw Vulgar Photoshopping
from the pics-pics-pics dept
Not the case in the story that gort-o-matic provides. In this instance, Georgia state lawmaker Earnest Smith wants to fine anyone who prank photoshops an image of someone $1000... after someone did it to him.
You see, some devious, twisted human being placed His Earnestness's head on the body of a porn star. He did this for public consumption on the blog Georgia Politics Unfiltered. The porn star has a very nice body. He is a porn star, after all. And he is not Ron Jeremy.It's difficult to imagine anyone disagreeing with Walker's assessment of how free speech in the United States works. Fortunately, that difficulty can be set aside, since Smith earnestly supplied the following reply to Fox News:
The human being behind this affrontery has come forward. His name is Andre Walker. It is unknown if he was moved by the boast on His Earnestness's own Web site that says he is both "accessible" and "audacious."
However, Walker told Fox News: "The first Amendment to the Constitution of the United States protects all forms of speech, not just spoken word."
"No one has a right to make fun of anyone. It's not a First Amendment right."Take a moment and drink that in. The statement is as impressive as it is incorrect. I say impressive, because in the world of long-winded politicians, you rarely see such a combination of wrongness and brevity. But, in case anyone in our midst is inclined to agree with Smith (who we have to assume is somehow offended at portrayals of him having pornstar-level man-junk), let me disabuse them of the idea that the first amendment doesn't allow offensive speech.
There is a somewhat well-known anecdote involving a dictionary writer in days long past who is approached on the street by a conservative women's group. The group congratulates him on not including any offensive words in the dictionary. In reply, the writer congratulates the women on their steadfast dedication to looking for offensive words. The point of that story is that there are people in our world who look for any and every opportunity to be offended. We do not protect the rights of American Nazi's to march in Skokie, IL because we like that speech. We protect it because opening the door to the opportunistically offended to censor speech, even vulgar speech, is unacceptable. The end result would be the censorship of Salman Rushdie.
The fact is that the first amendment must include a license to offend, even if that means politician's heads will be placed on porn star's bodies.

"Were they made to go to Church? Did your grandma have to wear a corset for her family photo - and hated it, making her look as though she is crying in the picture? My father told how the village policeman took one look at him and hauled him off (by the ear) to his mother, just in case he was 'up to no good'. My father was only 10 years old. On a national level - was your great-grandfather a Democrat or a Republican? Did your grandfather always stand up, wherever he was, when the National Anthem was played?" [SFA manual COG202, p6]

I wish my dad was around(he'd be 101) as I would be asking him more questions. The good thing, I guess, is that, growing up, my dad was in his 60's when I was a teenager but I was always interested in hearing stories so I got some great ones. My dad and his family were believers in ghostly tales. He also sold Rolly's Good Health products in a buggy with his dad and I have the case!ReplyDelete
Gosh! Well done you for listening as a teenager! ;o) I am glad you got such great stories. Better write them down so they don't get lost in the mists of time...ReplyDelete
A couple of months ago I found out my husband only knows the name of one of his four grandparents. He has no idea who these relatively close family members were. I wondered why he was never curious and didn't ask questions. I knew all 4 of my grandparents intimately. I think in some families there are black sheep stories and things that 'shouldn't be spoken about', that prevent family histories from being passed down through the generations. Anyway, my husband's parents are both dead but he has an auntie who should know the stories of these relatives. I keep meaning to email her so I can ask her some questions about my children's great grandparents. I think after reading your post I might get on and do this before it is too late!
Family history is very interesting and in some ways also important, not only for individual families, but for society in general. You have a very interesting blog!
It's interesting and exciting to trace one's family routes. It's a good idea to get some information and get to know a little history about our ancestors. My grandparents both my father and mother's side have passed away. But I have fond memories of them.ReplyDelete
Tracing back our family routes is one of the most interesting and exciting tasks. My grandparents both my Mom's and Dad's side have passed away, but I have fond memories of them. I wish I could do more to know about our family roots. Loved your blog.ReplyDelete
I also blog at dianasmusings.wordpress.com
Great idea for a blog. I always thought genealogical work is most like unraveling a mystery. There are lots of twits and turns and it is never what you expected! Good luck with A-Z challenge. Happy Writing!ReplyDelete
Thanks to talking to my mom about her family, I found the house where my great-grandparents lived, their church, and their grave. It was in the SW of Sweden and my mom had never been there. It was a very special feeling, so I recommend getting as much information as possible while the elderly relatives are still around.ReplyDelete

So which is more distasteful, sports fans?: Mocking plane crash victims, or wishing someone dead from a car wreck? Don't worry, it's British soccer. You can have both!
John Lawless, a lower league player from Merseyside in England, invented a unique way of taunting rival FC United of Manchester.
While taking a corner at the end of the ground in which most of the 2,122 spectators were gathered, Mr. Lawless was seen to wave his arms to make an airplane gesture in an apparent reference to the Munich air disaster of 1958. The crash killed eight players from Manchester United. Three Manchester United staff and eight journalists also died. Mr Lawless's taunt led to uproar in the stadium and stewards had to prevent several fans from going onto the pitch."
Lawless got a "police warning," whatever that means. Meanwhile, in Premier League play, Chelsea fans — there's a couple of them pictured above — showed their support for Manchester United star Ronaldo:
Ronaldo really enjoyed that one. He was abused during the game by Chelsea fans who sickeningly chanted "You should have died in the tunnel" — a reference to him writing off his $200,000 Ferrari on the way to training last week.
Oh, and John Lawless is a wanker, apparently.

Through a generous grant from the MacArthur Foundation, Global Kids, Inc. is excited to announce that it is developing a new badging system for New York City and Chicago members of The Hive Learning Networks. The Hive Learning Network is a community of civic and cultural institutions dedicated to transforming the learning landscape and creating opportunities for youth to explore their interests in virtual and physical spaces. Up to 28 Hive member organizations will pilot badging programs within the system, both for their own organizational needs and for the broader Hive network. Global Kids (GK) will contribute the first series of badges, for global citizenship and civic participation, and be amongst the first to offer a model demonstrating how the Badging System can be deeply integrated throughout a youth-serving organization.
The project addresses MacArthur's interests in strengthening informal learning institutions and using digital badging systems to motivate, scaffold, and certify the informal and interest-driven learning of the youth they serve. This project will address the two while expanding the breadth and depth of learning opportunities for youth in both cities. Civic and cultural institutions within Hive NYC and Hive Chicago will be invited to participate in the first year of the project. Some Hive members will use their content expertise to contribute new badges for the use of other Hive members, while others will create badges just for youth within their programs. Some organizations will integrate the badging system into their programming, while others will use it to connect youth they serve with other Hive youth, resources, and activities.
For example, Global Kids will integrate the system within our after-school programming to offer Global Kids youth leaders:
Assessment, both formative and summative, to provide meaningful feedback about their participation in our programs and qualified certifications that can be shared with those in the workforce and at universities;
Deeper engagement with Global Kids' programs, through games-based techniques and an online social network;
Scaffolded learning, supporting them to find their own path through Global Kids' programs;
Enhanced lifelong learning skills by developing their ability to value what they learn at Global Kids, give name to it, and connect it with their formal and informal learning; and
A more democratic learning experience, in which they get to take part in their own assessment process and shape the system itself.
The Hive Badging System will be a branded version of Global Kids' installation of LearningTimes' BadgeStack. LearningTimes provides tools and expertise to the world's most innovative organizations to create powerful interactive online learning experiences. LearningTimes' BadgeStack is one of the most robust badge-based learning platforms on the market today, and includes features key to executing GK's vision. Developed in 2011 and released for public use in 2012, BadgeStack was the first to fully integrate with Mozilla's Open Badging Infrastructure. The key features of the new site will include:
Global Kids began developing its first badging system four years ago, within an after school setting funded by the MacArthur Foundation, which supported youth to recognize, talk about, and demonstrate a range of digital literacy skills. This system was later taken to scale within the New York Public Library, adapted for use within a K-6 school in New Orleans and an Atlanta middle school, and is currently in development for additional schools. This experience also informed a badge implementation to train youth to become serious game designers, in partnership with MOUSE, and to assess, direct, and engage interest-driven learning within a mobile project for the American Museum of Natural History and the Bronx Zoo (the latter funded by The Hive Digital Media Learning Fund in The New York Community Trust).
Today, Global Kids is poised to play a prominent role to advance our collective understanding of the educational potential of badging systems, demonstrating how digital media can provide a network binding together the institutions within youth's learning ecology and supporting the development of the lifelong learning skills required to strategically shape and navigate those ecologies.
Global Kids, Inc. - the premier non-profit educational organization for global learning and youth development - works to ensure that urban youth have the knowledge, skills, experiences and values they need to succeed in school, participate effectively in the democratic process, and achieve leadership in their communities and on the global stage.
The Global Kids Online Leadership Program (OLP) integrates a youth development approach and international and public policy issues into youth media programs that build digital literacy, foster substantive online dialogues, develop resources for educators, and promote civic participation.

A time-honored haven for those with a penchant for ornamentation, Liberty has formed a legacy rooted in its exceptionally crafted designs and its decidedly British sensibilities. Wiltshire Berry: originally designed in 1939, this classic Liberty print - with its repeating leaf and berry pattern - is a well-loved motif with decades of history.

Mr. Speaker, that is surprising considering the government, as has been said many times this morning, has the ability to exempt those military purchases, so both the last question and response were very troubling.
Since the Bretton Woods agreement has fallen apart, if the member has any further suggestions about the new financial order, that would be good.
I want to compliment the member for bringing up the fact of the feedback cycle on global warming. I want to add that with frozen methane in big chunks in the oceans and the white ice going away, the darkness is attracting more heat, which is a very big concern for us. Climate change is worse in the north than anywhere else. Under those circumstances, where all sorts of potential is being opened up out there, the fact that the Conservatives have cancelled the Arctic ambassador and not replaced it has lowered our esteem in the world in Arctic affairs.

The Orioles recalled right-hander Jairo Asencio (pronounced HIGH-row) from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday and designated for assignment right-hander Jair Jurrjens.
Asencio made his first appearance for the Orioles on Friday, pitching a scoreless seventh. He allowed two batters to reach on a walk and single, but he struck out right fielder Jose Bautista and first baseman Edwin Encarnacion — who have combined for 44 home runs this season — to end the inning.
Asencio, working primarily as Norfolk's closer this season, went 4-0 with a 2.15 ERA and 20 saves in 37 1/3 innings before his call-up.
Asencio's stint with the Orioles allows the team to see what he can add to the bullpen before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline and help it decide whether or not any moves for bullpen help will need to be made.
"I like some of the things that are described that play up here," Orioles manager Buck Showalter added. "I've seen guys that have really good walk totals down there come up here and not be able to throw it over. There's a different fear of the bat. There's things that play into mentally. Those numbers don't always equate up here, but I like the way [Tides manager Ron Johnson] and [pitching coach Mike Griffin] describe what he's doing and the repertoire that has potential to play up here. We'll see."
The 30-year-old Asencio has appeared in 39 major league games in parts of three seasons with the Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs, and he's 1-2 with a 5.23 ERA and 37 strikeouts in 53 1/3 innings in those games.
"Every year I pitch great in Triple-A," Asencio said. "I don't know what happens in the big leagues."
In order to make room on the 40-man roster for Asencio, the Orioles designated for assignment Jurrjens. Jurrjens has 10 days to be traded, released or be claimed on waivers, or he'll be outrighted to Norfolk where he's 6-6 with a 4.18 ERA in 16 games. He made two appearances for the Orioles this season, pitching 7 1/3 innings and allowing four earned runs.
The Orioles signed the 27-year-old Jurrjens, a National League All-Star in 2011 when he finished 13-6 with a 2.96 ERA, to a minor league deal before spring training. He was a dark horse for the No. 5 starter slot.
"Jair still has a chance to pitch competitively up here," Showalter said. "He has shown periods down there, it's just been inconsistent. It's kind of like with [left-hander Tsuyoshi] Wada, and two different things. Sometimes the physical part of it takes a while to come. Someone may be old and the golden goose when it hits. It's all about timing sometimes."
Other notes
** Showalter said outfielder-designated hitter Chris Dickerson's shoulder injury was "minor in nature" and he shouldn't have to spend any time on the disabled list. Dickerson said he was going to try to throw Friday, but Showalter said it was weather permitting.
** Second baseman Brian Roberts is batting leadoff Friday night against Toronto left-hander Mark Buehrle. Roberts has batted fifth, sixth, eighth and ninth this season but hasn't batted leadoff since July 1, 2012, his final game last season. Roberts is batting .200 against lefties this season, but he's hitting .302 against Buehrle with one home run and three RBIs in 43 at-bats.
"It's just a better matchup for us," Showalter said. "You're talking about a team that's been carrying eight [relief] pitchers for a while, four right and four left. I'm sure they and we feel like we're always capable of pitching nine innings, but it presents the best challenge to their type of bullpen. Also, to be able to spread certain things out and give them different looks."
** Showalter said right-hander Josh Stinson was sent back to Triple-A Norfolk after Thursday's game so he could continue to pitch. He had posted three straight quality starts in his final three outings with the Tides before Wednesday's call-up. He's scheduled to pitch Friday night.
"We want to keep Stinson on turn and not let him get too far from having the ball in his hand," Showalter said. "He's coming off two or three good starts, and we don't want him sitting around up here."
** The Orioles acquired minor league right-hander Tim Alderson from Pittsburgh for infielder Russ Canzler, who was designated for assignment July 6. Alderson is 3-1 with a 2.79 ERA in 22 appearances for Triple-A Indianapolis this season.
Blue Jays lineup: Reyes 6, Bautista 9, Encarnacion 3, Lind DH, Rasmus 8, Davis 7, Arencibia 2, DeRosa 5, Kawasaki 4; Buehrle 1

- 2001 Pinhal da Torre Vinho Regional Ribatejano Ancestral - Portugal, Ribatejano, Vinho Regional Ribatejano (3/23/2006)
Dark. Red berry scented, sweet but not jammy, earthy, a touch oaky but not overdone, screams Portugal at you. The palate is big but very savoury, fine fruit, fine earthyness, highish tannins and lots of almost Musar-like acidity. Smashing stuff! Not at all spoofulated like their Syrah and Touriga-Syrah.
- 2004 Quinta do Alqueve (Pinhal da Torre) Vinho Regional Ribatejano Fernão Pires - Portugal, Ribatejano, Vinho Regional Ribatejano (3/23/2006)
A rather deep yellow. The nose is rather strange: salt/sea breeze, pine kernels, lots of minerals, white flowers and unripe mango. The palate has sweeter fruit than evident from the nose, with lovely ripe and almost juicy acidity, lots of minerals and a touch of salt. Great stuff and not at all like Retsina despite the whiff of pine kernel. (Unoaked, gladly.)

NEW YORK (CBS/AP)- For many women, getting a mammogram is already one of life's more stressful experiences.
Now, women in their 40s have the added anxiety of trying to figure out if they should even be getting one at all.
A government task force said Monday that most women don't need mammograms in their 40s and should get one every two years starting at 50 - a stunning reversal and a break with the American Cancer Society's long-standing position. What's more, the panel said breast self-exams do no good, and women shouldn't be taught to do them.
The news seemed destined to leave many deeply confused about whose advice to follow.
"I've never had a scare, but isn't it better to be safe than sorry?" asked Beth Rosenthal, 41, sitting in a San Francisco cafe on Monday afternoon with her friend and their small children. "I've heard of a lot of women in their 40s, and even 30s, who've gotten breast cancer. It just doesn't seem right to wait until 50."
Her friend agreed. "I don't think I'll wait," said Leslie David-Jones, also 41, shaking her head.
For most of the past two decades, the American Cancer Society has been recommending annual mammograms beginning at 40, and it reiterated that position on Monday. "This is one screening test I recommend unequivocally, and would recommend to any woman 40 and over," the society's chief medical officer, Dr. Otis Brawley, said in a statement.
But the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a government panel of doctors and scientists, concluded that such early and frequent screenings often lead to false alarms and unneeded biopsies, without substantially improving women's odds of survival. Those false positives led the task force to suggest new guidelines, reports CBS News medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook. About 90 percent of abnormal mammogram findings are benign.
"Mammography is not as sensitive a tool in general in younger women because their breast tissue is more dense," Dr. Freya Schnabel told LaPook.
Breast cancer survivors who were diagnosed at a young age were among the more vocal critics of the new guidelines.
"This sure seems like a big step backwards to me," said Debbie Hayes, who was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer at age 33 after finding a lump during a self-exam. A mammogram, ultrasound, biopsy and finally a mastectomy and chemotherapy followed.
"People are being diagnosed even in their early 20s," said Hayes, now 53 and a volunteer coordinator for the Chicago-based Breast Cancer Network of Strength. "Mammograms are a key element of that."
But another breast cancer survivor thought the new guidelines sounded about right - even though she was diagnosed at age 37, two years ago.
"They seem pretty sensible to me," said Claire Mayne, of San Francisco. "The death rate is not going down because of the earlier mammograms. I'd feel comfortable telling a friend to wait until she was 50."
Mayne was more doubtful, though, about the advice on self-exams; that's how she found her own cancer.
Most women in their 40s interviewed for this article said they planned to stick with the old mammography recommendations, at least for now.
"I have two young children," said Amber Smart, a 47-year-old mother in Agoura Hills, Calif. "There's a lot of years left that they need me." She's been having mammograms every six months, since she was 44, to make sure that certain dense areas of her breasts aren't cancer.
"I think it's kind of sad that they're basically saying, 'We can't afford to pay for the few people who may have it in their 40s, so a few people are going to die,"' Smart said.
Judy Finley, a flight attendant from Dallas, called the new recommendations "a terrible idea," and said she was especially worried that insurance companies might "pick up on this and quit paying for mammograms from 40 to 50."
"I think it would be really sad," said Finley, who was walking through the Crown Center mall in Kansas City, Mo. "And I don't know how the U.S. government or a panel of government officials can think they know better than the American Cancer Society."
But there were those who saw the new guidelines as potentially a relief, a development that could save women from endless stress, false positives and perhaps needless procedures.
"I can't tell you how many friends I have who've gone through severe worries from false scares," said Maren Waxenberg, a Manhattan mother. "At least three of them have had biopsies. And it turned out to be nothing."
Waxenberg herself, 46, has not yet had a mammogram. "I'm not concerned at this age," she said. "I plan to do it, but there's no sense of urgency."
The new guidelines are for the general population, not those at high risk of breast cancer because of family history or gene mutations.
They say:
- Most women in their 40s should not routinely get mammograms.
- Women 50 to 74 should get a mammogram every other year until they turn 75, after which the risks and benefits are unknown. (The task force's previous guidelines had no upper limit and called for exams every year or two.)
- The value of breast exams by doctors is unknown. And breast self-exams are of no value.
From a cost savings standpoint, maybe the task force could argue that the mammograms before age 50 are unnecessary, but if you're that one person who detects cancer early, "that's a big deal," CBS News medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton says.
Medical groups such as the cancer society have been backing off promoting breast self-exams in recent years. Decades ago, the practice was so heavily promoted that organizations distributed cards to be hung in the shower demonstrating the circular motion women should use to feel for lumps.
As for mammography, the panel's new recommendations are more in line with international guidelines, which call for screening to start at age 50; the World Health Organization recommends the test every two years, and Britain says every three years.
They were sharply challenged by the cancer society on Monday.
"The task force advice is based on its conclusion that screening 1,300 women in their 50s to save one life is worth it, but that screening 1,900 women in their 40s to save a life is not, Brawley wrote.
That stance "is essentially telling women that mammography at age 40 to 49 saves lives, just not enough of them," he added.
But Dr. Amy Abernethy of the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center agreed with the task force's changes.
"Overall, I think it really took courage for them to do this," she said. "It does ask us as doctors to change what we do and how we communicate with patients. That's no small undertaking."

Quietus has seen some pretty intense public attention since its release to Kongregate on April 6, 2010. Some name sites have reviewed the game and it even made it on today's Bytejacker episode (vote for Quietus here). Here are a few snippets of reviews:
Quietus is the kind of game that platformer enthusiasts live on. Developer Time uses his morbid subject matter to cast you into the darkest pits of hell both literarily and physically, and it's a blast.IndieGamesBlog:
Quietus is a tough platformer which feels like a cross between Meat Boy and the castle levels from the 2D Super Mario games. You play a guy who has hanged himself, then been throw into a gauntlet in Hell by Death.CanardPC:
There's swinging spike balls, things with teeth that spring from the ground, ghostly beings and other sorts of nasty things. It starts off simple, then gets fiendishly difficult, with precision platforming essential.
À vous de guider cette âme en peine vers la délivrance à travers 40 niveaux de torture et de souffrance, chacun d'entre eux symbolisant, selon moi, un printemps de votre vie professionnelle. Oui, car, comme chacune des années de notre carrière, une fois le tableau bouclé, on se dit toujours, à tort, que jamais le suivant ne pourra être pire.Kotaku:
Quietus is a series of discrete single-screen platforming challenges with an emphasis on being quite difficult. It's not easy escaping from the underworld when spiked balls on chains, enormous chomping teeth and pits of flame all want to keep you there.FlashPunk:
The latest FlashPunk game is Quietus, by Time. In this twitch platformer, you're charged with the task of running a gauntlet through the 40 stages of hell in order to earn your life back. Hint: it won't be an easy task!Bytejacker (Free Indie Rapidfire): (11:05 is where the mention starts)
Bytejacker (Free Indie Countdown - Winner!)
GamePolisher Radio (15:56 - 19:03 features the review)
TimeBlog has made some cruelly devious stages where your frequent deaths are caused by your skill (or lack thereof) and not the inadequacy of the level design, physics, or controls. When coupled with a badass orchestral rock theme and sprites that ride the line between adorable, silly, and creepy, the play sings… B+
Over the past 16 days since its release, Quietus has managed to garner over 30,000 plays on Kongregate alone, not including the other 20+ sites on Google that have hosted the games themselves (without my permission, but hey, who's complaining?) I really encourage you to try it out, as even if you have already played it as I've added chests to every level, music, a graphical change or two, and a bonus if you beat all the levels with all the chests. Thanks to Liam Berry (theBerryster) for his wonderful music!

KOMO TV, Seattle's ABC affiliate, reported tonight on the 8K (and growing) bike commuters on Seattle streets and how that's expected to grow with high gas prices or downed overpasses like in San Francisco. It was a good report, especially on the eve of Bike Month.
Are you riding to work more now because of gas prices? What's your BIke Month plan? And how are our San Francisco readers?

Hanoi, Vietnam: Thought bird flu was gone? Recent human deaths in Asia and Egypt are a reminder that the deadly H5N1 virus is still alive and dangerous. Vietnam is also grappling with a new strain that has outsmarted vaccines long used to help protect its poultry flocks.
Ten people have died in Cambodia, Indonesia, Egypt, China and Vietnam since December during the prime-time flu season when the virus typically flares in poultry. In Vietnam, authorities can no longer rely on the latest poultry vaccine in the north and central regions where new virus strains have been detected.
The H5N1 virus has killed 345 people worldwide since 2003, when it rampaged across large swaths of Asia decimating poultry stocks before later surfacing in parts of Africa, the Middle East and Europe.

Gold & Silver: More Volatile But Bullish
01/14/2013 9:00 am EST
Focus: FUNDS
It may not be a straight path to profits, but gold and silver still have some real upside left for 2013, notes Pamela and Mary Anne Aden of The Aden Forecast.
Last year has been a challenging year. As it drew to a close, all eyes were on the fiscal cliff...will it be resolved or not and how will it affect our investments? The consensus was that if an agreement is reached, stocks, metals and commodities will head higher. If not, the safe havens will have the advantage, which will push the US dollar and bonds up.
Gold was volatile last month. It bounced around due to several factors but the fiscal cliff was most influential. Gold tested the $1700 level but it then rebounded and its major trend remains up by staying above $1675 and $1640.
Gold's fundamentals are also very bullish. Demand is strong and this alone will likely propel gold to far higher levels. Currently, a B decline is in process but it could end at any time. This is providing a good opportunity now to buy new positions or add to the ones you already have.
We recommend buying and holding gold and silver, but if you already have all your positions purchased, then sit tight.
We also advise keeping more of your metals position in coins or bars. We like the ETFs too...SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), iShares Gold Trust (IAU) and iShares Silver Trust (SLV). Hold the gold and silver shares you have but keep a smaller portion of your metals portfolio in the shares.
If you want to buy new positions, then buy the strongest ones at the top of the list. Central Fund of Canada Ltd (CEF) is a great way to hold physical gold and silver in Canada.

Fast Cash loans are usually approved within 30 minutes or a day - the reason why they are known as Fast Cash. These are cash advance offered to individuals for a short period of time. Cash advance offered are usually small amounts that range from $500 to $1000. These loans are provided for a short time frame like two weeks or fourteen days, which usually is the time when an individual is expected to get his paycheck.
Availing Fast Cash loans is pretty simple, you just have to walk into the nearest loan center and request for Fast cash loans. The executive at the center will request you to fill a form. Once the form is filled, it is processed and you can immediately walk out with the required cash amount handed over to you by the executive.
An important feature of Fast Cash loans is that it does not depend on your credit history. Loans are processed and approved even if you have a bad credit history. You may only have to show them a proof of income or your last bank statement. Repayment of Fast Cash loans is also pretty simple. Since the loan does not require you to provide any collateral security, the only security required is a post dated check for the last day of the loan, which usually is the time you get your paycheck.
The loan is approved based on the belief that it will be repaid by the end of the loan period but if you fail to do so, the lender can cash the check and get back the loan amount.
Fast cash loans are ideal if you are in dire need of cash to pay your utility and grocery bills. If there is a sudden cash crunch, especially during festive seasons, or if there is an unexpected financial or medical problem, you can always avail of the loan as it is one of your safest bets to meet the urgent expenses.

Pets, Pets, Pets
After stays at three LI shelters, Moppet has a Gettysburg address. This middle-aged mix's new Mom calls each progress report "Moppet and Me"….a long distance pet love connection, thanks to that Internet Godsend, Petfinder, and one persistent lady. Try as I might, I couldn't talk her out of driving 13 hours and 530 miles round trip to meet the 7, almost 8-year-old scruffy pooch. So glad I didn't.
Last winter Moppet, a well-mannered Beardie/Otterhound mix, was bounced out of her home when her family got a new puppy. She wound up at Islip Shelter where she was adopted by someone who could not "meet her emotional needs"…what ever that means…and two months later was surrendered at Babylon Shelter. Several prospects fizzled, so in April she became a Last Hope foster dog.
Last winter Linda Rinehart from Fairfield, PA, west of Gettysburg, lost Samantha, her 14-year rescued Bearded Collie after a long battle with cancer. She nursed Samantha through many ups and downs, and even had her vet's permission to sleep at his hospital with her ailing dog when no staff was there over night. After typing "Bearded Collie" into Petfinder Linda followed Moppet's listing from afar on the Babylon Shelter site. Though not ready for a new dog, she was dismayed when the post vanished, and afraid to call to find out if Moppet was adopted. The dog haunted her.
Petfinder's breed search is an interesting feature. For example, when you enter "Pug", you get every dog with "Pug" in the description, including all the mixes, so "Moppet" popped up each time a searcher typed "Beardie" or "Otterhound". Moppet isn't that combo, merely the scruffy type I call a "Disney dog", or a small version of "Buck" from Married with Children. When "Moppet" became a Last Hope dog, the "Otterhound" and call name caught Linda's eye on a different Petfinder list. She decided it was a sign since this had to be the same Moppet.
I'm a true believer in out-of-state adoptions for purebred rescue, because such expertise ensures the matches are perfect. "Reynolds" my "Deliverance Dog" (Beacon/Record 4/5/07 ) is in Virginia with a "twin" sister via HT-Z Giant Schnauzer Rescue; "Cupcake" the broken pelvis Bullmastiff taken from Brookhaven Shelter by American Bullmastiff Assoc. Rescue ( Beacon/Record 1/4/07 ) lives with a chef in Maryland. These are just 2 recent ones. With purebreds rescuers are dealing with set expectations; mixes are more ambiguous. Locally based Last Hope likes their dogs within reach. However, I was forwarded Linda's Moppet inquiry to investigate further- turns out she had a lot of dog experience. Linda lives in PA but travels over 100 miles to her office in Virginia. Some days she works from home. I knew from the getgo that Linda was" a dog person"; confirmed when I spoke to her colleagues.
I had no doubts about Linda but had reservations about sweet but low key Moppet. I couldn't vouch for the dog's health. She was middle aged with eye-ear infections, plus an odd growth on her ear. A rabies certificate from her original owner 's vet said she weighed 49 lbs. in 3/06. She was 38 lbs. now. Was the drop due to stress or a typo? Was it cancer? How could I ask this poor woman to come so far for a dog that might break her heart within months?
I did everything I could to dissuade Linda- dangled photos of an adorable Tibetan Terrier pup at a town shelter; sung the praises of Bearded Collie Rescue and the wonderful national chairman who lives on LI. He would find her a purebred Beardie. I promised. No, Linda wanted Moppet.
This perpetual pessimist kept stalling her until the vet removed and biopsied the ear mass. I wanted blood work to rule out cancer for the weight loss. Didn't she prefer I find her a younger dog? No, Linda wanted Moppet.
When all the medical tests came back good, Linda planned her solo journey. (She had only been to NYC once as a kid on a school trip.) Her trusty GPS led her to Canal Street during Monday morning rush hour. "Oops, I just went over some bridge", rattled her cell phone when she called to say she was in traffic. After a 6 hour ride with a few scenic detours, Linda met Moppet. They clicked and began their new life together following lunch at the diner across from Last Hope to chat about dogs, of course, and to fortify Linda for the 7-hour trip home by way of Canal Street again.
In little more than a month Moppet has become an animated social butterfly. A pet sitter lets her out at noon. She's gotten the A-OK from Linda's vet, put on some pounds, been groomed twice, takes daily mile-long walks through the park, and begun obedience school where she re-discovered her talent for a "High Five". Moppet is taking all prerequisite courses to learn sheep herding, just for the fun of it.
The transformation is mutual. Sandy, Linda's Sheltie Rescue pal, wrote: "I just wanted you to know what a change Moppet has made in Linda's life, as I know that Linda has done the same for Moppet. I get a new Moppet story every day, and Linda is alive again…Thank you and your organization for believing in Linda and doing an out-of-state adoption. This is one you will never regret."
•For Adoption: You don't have to travel far to find your pet soul mate. Babylon Town Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon has quite a selection. "Apollo" a 3 yr. old Jack Russell Terrier in Cage 47 needs his energy harnessed constructively. He has the typical traits of his breedmischief maker, escape artist, cat chaser- just like the late "Eddie" from Frasier who was discovered in a pound. (Beacon 7/6/06) "Athena" is a perky 6 month Border Terrier mix in Cage 81. See more photos on Babylon's Petfinder.
•Male Dogs: 2 German Shepherds; Corgi mix with a shoulder fatty tumor Cage 3; black Lhasa Cage 45.
•Female Dogs: "Zoey"-black Lab Cage 93; Siberian Husky Cage 63; "Nina"- 3 yr. Cattle Dog mix Cage 65; "Muggles"-brindle Lab mix Cage 59.
•Cats: lots of wonderful adults like "Cosmo, Faith and Jewel" upstaged by kittens.
