Carrie Jo Hebrink comes from a line of educators, as her mom is currently a special education teacher, and her grandfather was a high school science teacher and a principal in the Renville school district; yes, Hebrink is teaching in the same school as her mom.
As a young BOLD student, Carrie Jo Hebrink was sure she would be a teacher.
"Then I got this idea about going into journalism, and as a freshman that was my major," said Hebrink.
When she discovered that career would likely require her to move away from her familiar roots, Hebrink thought twice and went back to her original plan.
The 2008 BOLD High School graduate earned a degree in elementary education from the Mankato campus of Minnesota State University, and this fall she is teaching first grade at Reede Gray Elementary School.
"I wanted a career where I could be a lifelong learner," said Hebrink, adding the need to progress in her own education and finding out new things has always been important to her.
Being able to offer the same kind of opportunity to others just made becoming a teacher her best option.
"I want to be the difference in the lives of students," said Hebrink. "I want to help them find opportunities to be successful in school."
Hebrink comes from a line of educators, as her mom is currently a special education teacher, and her grandfather was a high school science teacher and a principal in the Renville school district.
"My mom taught in BOLD for a number of years before coming here," said Hebrink.
That's right. Hebrink is teaching in the same school as her mom. She said having her available to ask questions and to talk to her about things that are going on in the classroom is great.
"Everyone here is so willing to help," Hebrink said, adding that good relationship with her mom really helps.
Hebrink said she opted to pursue a degree working with elementary age students because she has the chance to have more of an influence on them when they are young and just starting in their education careers.
Helping them get that positive start is important, said Hebrink, because a good start in education can help them see continued success as they grow.
Not only is Hebrink teaching first graders, she is also working with ninth graders as a volleyball coach.
Having played volleyball in high school, Hebrink wanted to be able to stay involved with the sport, and coaching others is one way she found to be able to do that.
"I love the game," she said. "This is my opportunity to share what I know."
When she is not grading papers or working with the volleyball team, Hebrink said she likes to spend time with her family, and in the summer she likes to play sandlot volleyball when she can.
Things have been going well, said Hebrink, and she is looking forward to what happens the rest of the year.

This news actually surprised me when I first found out about it. I mean after what everyone has experienced about the ending for School Days, I guess they just want to erase that feeling and create a spinoff with a "magical" title to it.
Since all of the cast members will be "revived" and come back for this OVA, I wonder how it will play out...who will be the bad guy and such...
Even though School Days has ended in a very murderous note, I don't feel like looking forward to watching this spinoff...although its about Kokoro-chan, Kotonoha's little sister, but still...

Kokoro will be a Magical Girl who fights for the world's (Japan's?) good. Then, Kokoro will found another girl (Kyon's imouto LOL) who's by the dark side. Kokoro will say "Please stop doing this!" and then Kyon's imouto will throw a lot of bubbles with Taisuke-form. Kokoro-chan notices that Kyon's imouto is only a marionette who's being controled by Taisuke (The very, very bad guy), then she cuts the cable that's the conexion of Taisuke to Kyon's Imouto. Kokoro punchs Taisuke, but Taisuke punchs Kokoro too, and Kokoro faints. Taisuke tried to do "weird things" to Kokoro, but Kotonoha appears and fight with Taisuke...
It'll continue...

Here is some better infor about it:
School Days is getting a Kokoro-chan OVA DVD to be released next year. This was originally an April Fool's Day project by 0verflow (see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6XX7Vzbpj4,) and from that clip alone, I was on the floor laughing. I had expected the School Days series to be done for now unless they were planning on animating Summer Days, but I'm very intrigued by this, especially if they're going to be using all the characters in a magical girl setting. The release date is in late March 2008 (right before April Fool's Day), and MOON PHASE is reporting that it'll be out March 26th, though Sofmap's listing indicates a release on the 28th. In any case, it might be something to look forward to.
Now this is SERIOUS. This is real.
:lol: Is anyone else having a Magical Girl Sammy flashback?

A School Days Kokoro-chan OVA..??
I knew it was coming..
LOL ok not really..
But for some reason I'm not as shocked about the announcement of this OVA.
For me, any other anime making an OVA like this probably would have left me confused and bewildered.
But then I realized, this is School Days.
This could be interesting. I'm hoping this will be good.

The 1,000-Word Dash
College-educated people who fret they read too slow should relax. Nobody reads much faster than 400 words per minute.
The Slate Reading Test
* How Do You Measure Up?
Aloysius reads 300 books a year. Bartholomew reads only 30. Both are intelligent college graduates who like to read fiction and general-interest nonfiction; among the magazines they scan regularly are The New Yorker, the Atlantic Monthly and, of course, Slate. Aloysius' performance intimidates Bartholomew, making him think that Aloysius reads 10 times faster than he. Bartholomew feels so inadequate that he's spoken about it many times to his psychotherapist.
But Bartholomew has it wrong. Aloysius doesn't read 10 times faster, because Aloysius can't read 10 times faster. Studies show that people who read at or above the college level all read at about the same speed when they read for pleasure.
Within the contentious world of reading theory, there is unanimity on this point. When you factor out the amount of time spent thinking through complex and unfamiliar concepts—a rarity when people read for pleasure—reading is an appallingly mechanical process. You look at a word or several words. This is called a "fixation," and it takes about .25 seconds on average. You move your eye to the next word or group of words. This is called a "saccade," and it takes up to about .1 seconds on average. After this is repeated once or twice, you pause to comprehend the phrase you just looked at. That takes roughly 0.3 to 0.5 seconds on average. Add all these fixations and saccades and comprehension pauses together and you end up with about 95 percent of all college-level readers reading between 200 and 400 words per minute, according to Keith Rayner, a psycholinguist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The majority of these college-level readers reads about 300 words per minute.
What about the far end of the bell curve? Isn't it possible there are a handful of super-smart Aloysiuses out there who can read much faster than everybody else? John F. Kennedy was said to read 1,200 words per minute. The speed-reading huckster Evelyn Wood claimed that a professor boasted of consuming more than 2,500 words per minute "with outstanding recall and comprehension." A 1963 study purported to find one person who read 17,040 words per minute. The last two examples are gleaned from a 1985 study in Reading Research Quarterly, by Ronald Carver, a professor of education research and psychology at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Carver thinks all three of these examples are bunk. JFK, he says, probably read 500-600 words a minute—that's very fast—and perhaps could skim 1,000 words per minute. (To learn where the JFK speed-reading story came from, click
When Carver set out to find the world's fastest readers and see for himself how quickly they read, he ended up with 16 test subjects—four groupings of four. The first group were the highest scorers on a test Carver administered to a large group of college students. The second group were demonstrably successful at jobs "that required a great deal of reading." (They included a New Yorker writer named Fred Shapiro and the editor of a medical journal.) The third group scored "exceptionally well" on standardized reading tests administered by a colleague. The fourth group had "reputations and supporting documentation for being speed readers."
At Carver's direction, the 16 brainiacs read passages from Reader's Digest condensed editions under controlled conditions: None of them could read faster than 600 words per minute and retain more than 75 percent of the information contained in the texts. From this, Carver concluded that the fastest college-level reader will read, at best, twice as fast as the slowest college-level reader.
The inescapable conclusion is that Aloysius doesn't read much faster than Bart; he just reads a lot more. Maybe Aloysius has a long subway commute to work, whereas Bartholomew drives. This raises, for Bartholomew, a glimmering hope: Can he catch up by listening to books on tape?
Probably not. Spoken language's elaborate rhythms and inflections convey more meaning per word than the printed word. Compare a radio broadcast of a Shakespeare play to reading it. Word for word, listening will be easier. But readers can flip back and look at something whose meaning they might initially have missed; academics call this "regression." Another advantage to reading is that you can "go off-line and think about what you read," says James M. Royer, another psychology professor at U. Mass. Amherst. The weighing of relative merits gets pretty elaborate, no doubt partly because of academia's multiculti sensitivity to nonwestern cultures that exalt the oral tradition. Setting political correctness aside, however, it's probably true that if you really want to absorb the multiple meanings, and you're only going to do this once, reading is better.
Books on tape also pose a time problem. Carver found that college-level readers optimally take in and understand spoken words at the same word rate that they take in written words—typically about 300 words per minute. The catch is that not even auctioneers can speak at a rate much beyond 250 words per minute. (To produce a 300-words-per-minute sample, Carter had to use a "time-compressed speech" device that compacts words and deletes fractions of dead air between words.) The 250-word count of an auctioneer is much faster than the 175 words per minute the typical book-on-tape actor manages. Sadly, this means the tape deck in Bartholomew's car affords him little hope of catching up with Aloysius. But Bartholomew can comfort himself by remembering that Aloysius is just one-fifth the speed reader he once feared.

Ofsted says state pupils denied competitive sport
State sector head teachers need to stop treating competitive sport as an "optional extra", says Ofsted's chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw.
In a report, commissioned after the 2012 Olympics, he argues too many top athletes are from private schools.
Schools where pupils lack opportunities to excel in sport also tend to do worse academically, according to the report.
But the National Union of Teachers said Ofsted's comparison between state and private school sport was "ridiculous".
The report, Going the extra mile: Excellence in competitive school sport, was commissioned after the London games to explore why so many Team GB athletes had been educated in private rather than state schools.
'Not good enough'
It found "unacceptable discrepancies" where fewer than one in 10 pupils in England attends fee-paying schools but privately educated athletes make up the majority of players in rugby union's English Premiership and more than a third in top-level cricket.
Sir Michael told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "A third of our youngsters who excel in sport across different disciplines come from the independent sector.
"If you strip away football, it's more like 50%, particularly in national sports like rugby, cricket and swimming.
"We're saying it's really not good enough."
Ofsted visited 10 independent schools, 35 state schools and surveyed more than 500 head teachers and more than 1,000 11 to 18-year-olds.
The majority of state school heads said competitive sport was optional. Only 13% said they expected all students to take part.
The report finds that in the most successful schools, both state and private, heads recognise that competitive sport can help build an ethos and boost grades.
Strong teams rely on teachers prepared to dedicate time and energy before, during and after school, as well as at weekends, say the authors.
Staff needed to be able to identify talented pupils for extra coaching and ensure matches were accessible to everyone else, they added.
The report found 15 of the state schools visited were "delivering excellence" in competitive sport.
"They demonstrate that high school fees and large playing fields are not a pre-requisite to success," said Sir Michael Wilshaw.
A state school success
Mo Farah's former PE teacher Alan Watkinson is in no doubt as to the importance of school sport.
"We can see the difference it makes, not just to them in terms of their sporting ability, but also as human beings," he said.
Mr Watkinson, who taught the double Olympic champion at Feltham Community College, said Farah was unable to speak English as a Year Seven pupil.
"It was recognised that sport was really a way to bring him on," he told BBC News. "We didn't necessarily think he would become an Olympic champion, but it was part of his whole development.
"Every child should have the right to be in a position where they could become a sporting hero."
'Worrying inconsistency'
Sir Michael said: "It is clear that a commitment to sporting excellence often reflects a culture of high expectations and achievement in the school as a whole.
"Schools that win on the field win in the exam hall."
Youth Sport Trust chief executive John Steele said: "The findings from this report highlight a worrying inconsistency in the provision of competitive sport being offered in state schools.
"It is encouraging, however, to see that where state schools take competitive sport seriously, there is a clear correlation to academic attainment."
But Geoff Barton, head of state comprehensive King Edward VI School in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, told the BBC he did not welcome Sir Michael's "pontificating".
Speaking to the Today programme, he said: "For me the most infuriating part of it is that there are parents round here who may be making a decision about whether to send their child to a state school like ours, or an independent school, who will hear his stereotyping of the state sector and decide they are then going to move into the independent sector."
NUT deputy general secretary Kevin Courtney said: "State schools have neither the same facilities nor time and space in the curriculum for sport as independent schools.
Mr Courtney said the government was allowing free schools to open sometimes with "no playgrounds let alone playing fields", had abandoned the target of two hours PE a week and had withdrawn funding for the Schools Sport Partnership linking schools with local sports clubs.
"Teachers already put in the 'extra mile' for students, often working up to 60 hours a week, many take on extra-curricular activities.
"It is not teachers who are the barrier to a good sports education in schools but a lack of support, resources, funding and facilities. Those are the areas Ofsted should have been looking into with this report."
The Department for Education said it was giving primary schools in England more than £150m year to boost sport and PE, amounting to £9,250 for a typical school, enough for a specialist PE teacher one day a week.
"Too few children have been taking part in competitive sport in recent years. That is why we are strengthening competitive sport in the new curriculum at all key stages so that all pupils learn to compete against their peers.
"The new curriculum also encourages pupils to build strong links to community sport outside of school hours," said a spokeswoman.

President Obama Admits That Patent Trolls Just Try To 'Extort' Money; Reform Needed
from the didn't-expect-that dept
Question: High tech startups are an important engine of the American economy. When I go around and talk to other enterpreneurs, what I hear is that they're afraid that if they become successful, they're going to be targeted by patent trolls... What are you planning to do to limit the abuse of software patents?...Some will reasonably be less impressed by the hedging at the end, but this is the first statement we've really seen that the administration believes that patent trolling is a problem (even to the point of referring to it as extortion). It's also the first we've heard from the administration that they only consider the last patent reform bill (the AIA) a "halfway" solution. To date, the administration had acted as if passing that was fixing everything.
Obama: A couple years ago we began a process of patent reform. We actually passed some legislation that made progress on some of these issues. But it hasn't captured all the problems.
The folks that you're talking about are a classic example. They don't actually produce anything themselves. They're just trying to essentially leverage and hijack somebody else's idea and see if they can extort some money out of them. Sometimes these things are challenging. Because we also want to make sure that patents are long enough, and that people's intellectual property is protected. We've got to balance that with making sure that they're not so long that innovation is reduced.
But I do think that our efforts at patent reform only went about halfway to where we need to go. What we need to do is pull together additional stakeholders and see if we can build some additional consensus on smarter patent laws.
This is true, by the way, across the board, when it comes to high tech issues. The technology is changing so fast, we want to protect privacy, we want to protect people's civil liberties. We want to make sure the internet stays open. I'm an ardent believer that what's powerful about the internet is its openness and the capacity for people to get out there and introduce a new idea with low barriers to entry. We also want to make sure that people's intellectual property is protected. Whether it's how we're dealing with copyright, how we're dealing with patents, how we're dealing with piracy issues. What we've tried to do is be an honest broker between the various stakeholders and to continue to refine it -- hopefully keeping up with the technology -- which doesn't mean that there won't be some problems that we still haven't identified and that we have to keep working on.

NANTY GLO, Pa.—A Pennsylvania man has been accused of stealing a state police cruiser and leading officers on a chase—after he had been handcuffed.
State police say they arrested 26-year-old Anthony Fox on drug offenses Saturday night in Nanty Glo, 60 miles east of Pittsburgh. They say he somehow got free from his seatbelt in the back of a police cruiser, got his cuffed hands in front of him and drove away.
Police say they gave chase and caught up to the Smicksburg man after he crashed the car in front of an apartment building in nearby Jackson Township.
Fox is in the Cambria County Prison on charges including escape, theft, driving under the influence and possession of drug paraphernalia. Online court records don't list an attorney for him.

2. One who is an enthusiast of folk music.
by Crystal June 16, 2006
A fan of twangy acoustic guitar and banjo music, not a fan of things like shaving and the letter "g". A folkie's idea of a good time is getting so drunk they piss themselves, followed by a night of rollicking about in a rusty pickup truck listening to their twangy music, tossing spent beer bottles out their window while swerving all over the road and running over mailboxes. At some point, they may stop the truck to roll around in the hay with their cousin, if you know what I mean. When finally arriving home, the folkie parks their truck in the front yard, leaves the door open, falls out, attempts to light a cigarette but misses, igniting half of their gnarly beard and causing a riot among the lice that inhabit it. The folkie calls it a day by falling asleep rolling around in a pile of his own puke. Folkies truly are the scum of the earth.
Hippies might have been dirty, but at least they stood for something. All folkies believe in is booze, not shaving, and filth.

Difference between revisions of "Wikitravel talk:Business listings reliability Expedition"
Revision as of 06:18, 27 August 2011
Starting out
Per Denis' I took a stab at expanding this. It seems like there might be two good ways to get this going:
To the second point, a couple ideas that occurred to me are making article status more prominent (perhaps revisiting Template:Title-icons and doing a bit more with those) and possibly implementing icons that could be added to listings such that a rollover would show users who "verified"/"endorsed" the listing and when they did so, for example:
The "verified"/"endorsed" icon would obviously benefit greatly from using a template, should probably use something other than a star, and ideally should change the image depending on the number and freshness of the people verifying/endorsing. -- Ryan • (talk) • 20:49, 24 August 2011 (EDT)
Who posted the listing
I would like to argue that any listing using "we" or "our" should be not edited but summarily deleted, as obviously self-interested and, therefore, unreliable. Like any other rule, this would be subject to exceptions on a case-by-case basis, but I think that whenever it's obvious a listing was posted by a self-interested person, whether because it's 100% obvious it's touting ("well-appointed rooms," et al.) or because "we" or "our" was used, unless other, non-interested people can vouch for the place, it should not be listed - and I mean probably never listed. Ikan Kekek 23:05, 24 August 2011 (EDT)
Here's the problem: Unless someone without financial interest in a business can vouch for its being a good one, there is good reason to distrust self-interested listings, even if detouted in style by a subsequent editor. What is your solution in the very numerous cases that an administrator has no knowledge of the establishment other than an obviously self-interested listing? I can detout, but I still don't trust the detouted listing if I am personally unfamiliar with the establishment. Ikan Kekek 02:14, 27 August 2011 (EDT)

This is how I feel. I am very lucky. I have cm, but the only surgery I have needed is tethered cord. I was also lucky enough to get to TCI. I live in PA and am only 2 1/2 hours away from the TCI and the wonderful drs there.
This time last year, I never had good days, only days that were not as bad as others. I had daily pain in my neck and back. HA's, vomiting, dizzyness, veritgo, ringing in my ears, trouble swallowing, shooting pains down my legs, burning pains on the bottoms of feet, numbness and tingling on all my extremeties and yes, the dreaded incontintence.
The only surgery Dr B felt I needed was TCS. I had some complications while in the hospital, but only ended up 1 extra day and now 9 months later I am much better. It was a treatment, not a cure, but today I have good days. I never pee my pants anymore. I still have neck and back pain, HA's and trouble swallowing. These are less frequent now. I can function better and remember things better. Now that my brainstem is not being pulled down.
I could be re-tethered or my herniation could grow and my symptoms could come back. Hey, I could be hit by a bus tomorrow too. We don't know what the future holds, but I do know that today, I feel pretty good. I will take that. Compared to many people here. I do feel like one of the lucky ones.
There is hope and there is treatment!
Take care,
Wendi in PA

A 2,000-pound satellite may crash in your backyard Sunday night
Who do you sue if youre hit by a satellite?
A defunct satellite from the European Space Agency the size of a Chevy Suburban is set to plunge to Earth somewhere between Sunday night and Monday afternoon -- and experts say there's no way to precisely determine where it will crash.
GOCE, or Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer, ran out of gas last month and has been steadily sinking towards the Earth. As the planet rotates, the satellite whizzes over nearly every point on Earth. Experts expect it to plunge harmlessly into the oceans that cover 70 percent of the surface of the planet. But what if it doesnt? What if it takes out your old Accord?
Basically, governments are responsible for their own spacecraft, explained Marcia S. Smith, president of the Space and Technology Policy Group in Arlington, Va. [If] you could prove a piece of GOCE hit your Honda, you could go to your government to make a claim, she told FoxNews.com.
But dont put the ESAs lawyer on speed dial just yet. Most of the fragments of the satellite are likely to burn up on re-entry, said Heiner Klinkrad, Head of ESAs Space Debris Office according to an ESA blog.
Most of these fragments will completely burn up. A small fraction of the initial spacecraft mass -- about 20 percent or 200 kilograms [440 pounds] -- is expected to reach ground, distributed across dozens of fragments, spread over a sizable re-entry ground swath.
400 pounds of smoking metal spread over a "sizeable swath" is nothing to sniff at. But should one of those fragments land on U.S. soil, youre fully covered, according to the United Nations. The U.N.s Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects was created in September of 1972, and has been ratified by 88 countries and signed by 22 nations as of January 1, 2013.
A launching State shall be absolutely liable to pay compensation for damage caused by its space object on the surface of the Earth or to aircraft in flight, reads the policy. And the GOCE satellite was launched from Russia, so that country would be responsible, said Mark Hopkins chairman of the executive committee of the National Space Society.
While space objects reenter the atmosphere all the time, few pieces survive the fiery trip and many of those end up in the ocean, Smith said. But sometimes, they do. Russia's Cosmos 954 satellite crashed in Canada in 1978, with a radioactive energy source. That sounds more alarming than it actually was; the element was vanishingly small when it hit ground,
Hopkins said. But Canada did try to get money back from the Russians -- and they did pay up, he said.
It was a lot less than they wanted, he told FoxNews.com.
Indeed, the Canadian government asked for $6 million to cover cleanup and "future unpredicted expenses," according to Matthew Kleinman's "The Little Book of Space Law." Russia paid half that. It's up to a government to bring charges, according to the policy book.
"Had a Canadian citizen been injured by the Cosmos 954 debris, his only recourse would have been to either convince the Canadian government to bring a claim against the Soviet Union on his behalf or bring a claim on his own behalf in a national court with appropriate jurisdiction.
If he won his case, he would then have had to hope that the Soviet government honored the court's judgment," the book notes.
So if you hear a crash in the night, rest assured that the responsible party will most likely pick up the tab. Just make sure to take a picture.

Out-of-fuel satellite incinerated as it entered atmosphere, officials say
Officials at the European Space Agency said Monday (Nov 11, 2013) that a 2,000-pound satellite that had been steadily sinking toward Earth after it ran out of fuel last month re-entered the atmosphere Sunday, and disintegrated.
In a status report posted on the European Space Agency's website, scientists said the GOCE, or Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer, re-entered Earth's atmosphere at 1:00 a.m. Central European Time Monday (7 p.m. Eastern Time Sunday) on a descending orbit pass that extended across Siberia, the western Pacific Ocean, the eastern Indian Ocean and Antarctica.
"As expected, the satellite disintegrated in the high atmosphere and no damage to property has been reported," the report said.
The agency earlier estimated on its website that about 25 percent of the spacecraft survived re-entry and has fallen into the ocean.
"By the time you read this, the spacecraft's amazing flight will, most likely, have come to an end," spokesman Daniel Scuka wrote in an update posted around 6:45 p.m. on the agency's website.
GOCE had been orbiting Earth since March 2009 at the lowest altitude of any research satellite. With a sleek, aerodynamic design meant to eliminate drag on the craft from the planet -- it's been called the "Ferrari of space" -- GOCE has mapped variations in Earths gravity, creating a model of the planet's "geoid."
The satellite was 17.4 feet long, according to the European Space Agency. A 2014 Chevrolet Suburban is 18.5 feet long, including the bumpers. The slim satellite was only 1/3 the weight of the truck, however.
As far as anyone knows, falling space debris has never injured anyone -- although one woman came dangerously close. Nor has significant property damage been reported.

Actress jumps into ABC's 'Wonderland' rabbit hole
LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Sophie Lowe's latest visit to Hollywood failed to yield work, the young actress flew back home to Australia — and quickly fell down a rabbit hole.
Within a day of returning to Sydney, Lowe had recorded an audition for "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland." Two days later she was asked to fly back to Los Angeles for another test, and within a week had the starring role of Alice.
"It happened so fast, it was just crazy," said Lowe, 23, still marveling over the unexpected new chapter in her career that had been focused on movies including the recently released "Adore" with Naomi Watts and Robin Wright.
The ABC series debuting Thursday is a relation of "Once Upon a Time," which brings fairy tale characters into the real world. "Wonderland" takes Lewis Carroll's tale in a different direction, with a mature Alice returned from her adventure to a cynical reception and mental institute.
But Alice has reason to believe in and yearn for what she's left behind, including the obligatory Cheshire cat and a certain genie, Cyril (Peter Gadiot), who has captured her heart. She seizes a chance to bolt Victorian England and return to the land where possible romance and certain danger await.
Forget Carroll's wide-eyed, girlish heroine; this one is ready for love and action and, said Lowe, is an actress' delight. There is deep emotion but also stunts to be done and punches to be thrown.
"She's a very strong woman, mentally and physically," Lowe said. "It's really fun to play because usually I play roles that are more weak, (but) this is inspiring to people and even myself. It's really uplifting to play a strong woman."
Lowe is 5-foot-7, but her delicate face and slender form make her emergence as a rough-and-tumble Alice unexpected. It's also encouraging to see an actress get onto U.S. TV screens without losing her fresh beauty to the homogenizing glamor factory.
It was the combination of her talent and beguiling look that made her right for "Wonderland," said executive producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, who also are behind "Once Upon a Time."
"The minute we saw her on tape from Sydney it was undeniable," said Kitsis. "When she smiles, you immediately root for her. We always wanted Alice to be natural and feel real. We wanted to take the icon to a real woman, and Sophie to us was everything we wanted Alice to be."
Added Horowitz: "We couldn't rip our eyes away from her and thought the audience couldn't either."
For Lowe, who was born in Sheffield, England, and moved to Australia at age 10 with her parents and brother, "Wonderland" represents another step in her teenage dream of an acting career.
Is anyone else in her family in the business?
"Nooooo," she replies, sounding a bit surprised at the road she's taken. She studied dance and music at a performing arts school before acting called to her.
"I said, 'Yep, this is my life, this is who I am. This is where I'm most comfortable, and I'm not going to let anything stop me from doing it,'" she recalled, speaking by phone from the "Wonderland" set in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Carroll's classic has a special place in Lowe's heart as a childhood favorite that her mother read to her. Now it's carried her into a world of green-screen special effects and working with such established actors as Naveen Andrews of "Lost" — "I was a bit starstruck when I first met him. But he's so lovely," Lowe said — as the menacing Jafar.
She's got her eye on another star, one from Australia, as her role model, and sounds very much the young woman as she explains why.
"I've always loved Cate Blanchett," Lowe said. "Everything she does, she just glows. She's done stage and I've never done anything like that. I'd love to learn how to do stage. Maybe she can teach me one day; that would be cool."
"I just read she's directing her first film. ... I want to be in it!" she declared.
Producers Horowitz and Kitsis expect Lowe's talent to take her wherever she wants to go.
"I have no doubt within 10 years she will have credits that put us all in awe," Kitsis said.

Rebeca Grynspan: Remarks on the Memorandum of Understanding between UNDP and the Islamic Development Bank Group / Islamic Trade Finance CorporationMay 2, 2013
UN Under Secretary-General and UNDP Associate Administrator
On the Occasion of the Signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between UNDP and the Islamic Development Bank Group / Islamic Trade Finance Corporation -
Aid for Trade Initiative for Arab States
Your Excellencies,
My thanks go to the International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation and personally to Dr. Waleed Al Wohaib for his support, commitment and enthusiasm towards this partnership. I also thank UNDP's Regional Bureau for Arab States for organizing this luncheon, as it is always very important and encouraging to see the engagement of Permanent Representatives in new and interesting initiatives that can pave the way for other regions to follow.
I am pleased to commend the Islamic Trade Finance Corporation of the Islamic Development Bank for coming together to sign this Memorandum of Understanding with UNDP.
The MoU calls for cooperation between UNDP and the ITFC on a range of areas, including promotion of economic and social development, poverty reduction through trade development, staff exchanges, knowledge dissemination, and more.
As a first step in this deepening engagement, I am pleased that UNDP will work with other UN Agencies including UNCTAD, the ILO, UNIDO and the ITC to launch the Aid for Trade Initiative in the Arab States.
This initiative comes at a very interesting time. Today, we find ourselves at a global inflection point, with countries of the south increasingly driving global growth and making rapid progress on poverty reduction and job creation.
UNDP's 2013 Human Development Report, The Rise of the South, showed that a good deal of this progress has been driven by emerging economies who have embraced the opportunities inherent in international trade, including through South-South and regional Foreign Direct Investment and technology transfer.
Indeed, the report shows that countries which have been relatively open in this regard and also pursued innovative social policy have showed more accelerated progress in human development and the wellbeing of their population.
In this respect, our view at UNDP is that going beyond growth, investing in peoples capacities, and finding the right balance between internal and external markets for the development of a competitive and high productivity production base supported by the right policies and institutions can be a powerful and sustainable driver of development and of job creation.
The Aid for Trade Initiative for Arab States is driven by this same spirit. Its aim is to foster inclusive economic growth with increased employment opportunities and greater competitiveness through reforms to trade policy in the Arab countries.
This is promising as the employment challenges facing this region are well-known, and as my colleagues in the Regional Bureau for Arab States tell me, intra-regional and international trade in many productive sectors have lagged behind the levels that many analysts and officials in the region have aimed for. I look forward to the launch of this initiative and to following up on its implementation and results around the Arab region.
This Memorandum of Understanding also represents a step forward for how UNDP engages with partners in the Arab region and beyond.
First and foremost, it signals a deepening of our engagement with the Islamic Development Bank Group, a major multilateral development financing organization with activities in every region of the world, as well as the International Islamic Trade Financing Corporation, one of IDB's most important entities and its lead on driving development through trade.
It also reflects a new way of doing our work by bringing together two emerging donors, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, with one traditional donor, Sweden, to provide financial backing for this important work.
It allows for a continued sharpening of our substantive partnership with the League of Arab States, which will partner in the implementation of the initiative.
And, finally, it demonstrates another step forward in the UN Development Group Delivering as One, as it will pool the capacities of several UN Agencies in order to provide coordinated and high-quality technical assistance.
We are living right now in a world that is filled with new opportunities but also with new challenges and risks. As a development community, we must sharpen what we do and how we do it. I believe that this initiative will be a model in this regard and I am pleased to be here today to witness the signing of the MoU.
Thank you.

Haiti police: Canadian priest fatally shot leaving bank, withdrawn money found in wallet
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Haitian detectives are investigating the killing of a Canadian priest who was shot to death Thursday as he left a bank in the Caribbean nation's capital, authorities said.
Police inspector Aladin Jean-Louis said that 62-year-old Richard E. Joyal had just withdrawn $1,000 from a bank at about 10:30 a.m. when two men on a motorcycle approached and grabbed a bag he was carrying. The passenger shot him three times in the back.
Authorities later found the $1,000 in Joyal's wallet and confiscated the money. The contents of Joyal's billfold included a driver's license showing he was from Quebec. Another identification card showed he was a priest who worked as an administrator for a Canadian congregation called the "societe de marie" in the Delmas district of Port-au-Prince.
Police investigating the shooting in Delmas redirected traffic on one of the busiest thoroughfares in the capital.
The United States in December sharpened its travel warning to Haiti, citing kidnappings and other crime, cholera and a tattered infrastructure. Canada followed with a similar advisory.
The revised warnings irritated Haitian officials who countered that crime rates in Haiti are much lower than what many perceive them to be.
Though Haiti has a police force with only 10,000 officers for a country with 10 million people, murder rates are lower here than in other countries in the hemisphere.
Still, Haiti has seen a steady increase in the number of reported homicides since 2010, according to police reports given to the United Nations' police division.
In 2010, the agency received reports of 680 homicides, a number that jumped to 908 the next year. Last year, there were 1,061 reported homicides.

When it comes to league championships, it's been a long, dry spell for Pratt High tennis, but as of last Saturday, the drought is over.
When it comes to league championships, it's been a long, dry spell for Pratt High tennis, but as of last Saturday, the drought is over. The last league title was nearly a decade ago when the Greenbacks wore the MSAA crown in 2004. After joining the Central Kansas League in 2010, the competition got even deeper with perennial powerhouses Hesston, Smoky Valley, and Sterling.
After a host of second and third place finishes, the Greenbacks finally put it together to stand atop the victor's podium. It took a concerted team effort and some help from other teams, but at the end of a chilly and challenging day, the Greenbacks were champions.
Amid temperatures in the low 40s and a stiff 20-mph breeze, the 61 girls from 11 CKL teams hit the courts at 9:30 a.m. and concluded the 76th match over eight hours later.
Pratt seized the crown with 80 points with Sterling close on its heels with 75. Hesston and Hoisington tied for 3rd with 70, followed by Smoky Valley (62), Larned (49), Hillsboro (48), Lyons (37), Haven (32), Nickerson (15), and Kingman (10).
The doubles teams again led the charge by winning both the #1 and #2 flights. At the #1 spot, seniors Lauren McClain and Dani Williams earned the top seed and cruised to a relatively easy title. After a first-round bye, the pair dispatched Lyons 9-1, Sterling 6-2, 6-1, and Haven 6-3, 6-0. After Williams returned from injury late to join McClain, the duo sports an undefeated 10-0 record going into regionals.
"It was a joy to watch Lauren and Dani play," said coach Larry Kahmeyer. "After a few games, they simply caught on fire, dominating their final matches. Lauren was razor-sharp with her groundstrokes and Dani was roaming back and forth at the net, putting volleys away. Their skills dovetail so well and I hope they can carry that level of play into regionals!"
Juniors Allicia Hall and Elee Hampton entered the bracket as the second seed, but wouldn't settle and won out to claim Pratt's second doubles crown. After a first-round bye, the girls defeated Hoisington 9-3, Hesston 6-4, 7-5, and Smoky Valley 6-2, 6-4.
"The top four teams in the #2 flight were pretty closely matched," explained Kahmeyer." I knew the girls had a shot at the title and they hung tough all day long to realize it. The semi-final match against Hesston was the hardest, but they never faltered. Smoky Valley gave them a contest in the finals, but they were on a mission and wouldn't be denied."
Jade Hoover and Ellie Brehm, juniors, sealed the deal for the Greenbacks by placing high in the singles brackets and earning 30 tough points. Hoover earned the fourth seed, and after a first-round bye, had to face Larned's tough fifth-seeded Jessi Johnson. Hoover fell behind early, then rallied to make it a contest, eventually falling 9-7. On the backside of the bracket, Hoover defeated Kingman 9-1, Nickerson 9-5, and Hesston to claim 5th.
Brehm had a tough first match in Roets from Smoky Valley. Getting off to a slow start in the cold, Brehm fell behind but made a match of it before succumbing 9-4. She then beat Nickerson 9-0, lost to Sterling 6-3, 6-0, then defeated Lyons 9-3 to claim 5th.
Of his singles players, Kahmeyer said, "Jade had a tough draw. There were two better match-ups in the quarterfinals where she might have reached the semis, but that's just the way it draws out sometimes. It was a deep pool of talent; she could've finished a spot higher with a different path, but did exactly what she needed to do. Playing in the cold with a new racket, Ellie got off to a slow start but found her form to go 2-2 and earn some critical points. Jade and Ellie should be very proud of their contributions to the team finish."
With the CKL tournament concluding the regular season, the Greenbacks travel to Wellington on Friday and Saturday to battle it out at regionals for coveted tickets to state.

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agents cited three Pointe Coupee Parish men on Oct. 14 for alleged hunting violations in Pointe Coupee Parish.
Agents cited Richard Plauche, 22, of Blanks, Robert Otremba, 21, of Livonia and Joseph Plauche, 17, of Blanks, for hunting wild quadrupeds during illegal hours and hunting from a moving vehicle.
Agents were working a complaint near Frisco when they heard a gun shot shortly after 10 p.m. After investigating the shot further, agents found a freshly killed rabbit in the bed of a pick up truck. After questioning the three men, the agents determined that the three men allegedly shot the rabbit from the moving pick up truck they were riding in.
Hunting wild quadrupeds during illegal hours and hunting from a moving vehicle each carry fines between $250 and $500, or jail time up to 90 days, or both plus court costs.
Agents participating in the case were Sgt. Cliff Ortis, Senior Agents Allan Marbury and Seth Gauthier.

State fire marshals on Friday arrested a Perryville man accused of setting his apartment on fire, officials said Saturday.
Isaac M. Chestnut, 57, is being held at Cecil County Detention Center on three charges of arson and malicious burning.
Neighbors called 911 after the fire ignited around 4:30 p.m. in a two-story building in the 600 block of Broad St. in Perryville. The building housed three apartments above businesses, including a pizza shop. The fire caused more than $1,000 in damage, state fire officials said.
Fire crews from Perryville, Charlestown, Port Deposit and Susquehanna Hose Company responded, but found the fire extinguished by sprinklers upon arriving. Investigators found that the fire had been set intentionally and arrested Chestnut at the scene.
He is being held on $50,000 bond and faces up to 55 years in prison and/or $55,000 in fines for the charges, fire officials said.

Why have the Old Red Guard be "private" and for only "good" posters when you get threads such as "This is Not Our Year". Or "Talk Me Back from The Ledge".
The posting superiority found around here is incredibly disheartening.
Why have the Old Red Guard be "private" and for only "good" posters when you get threads such as "This is Not Our Year". Or "Talk Me Back from The Ledge".
The posting superiority found around here is incredibly disheartening.
"When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"
Admittedly basic question from someone who's been posting for less than a week and tries hard to answer my own questions with research on RZ first.
How come some threads (like the "I'm on the verge of tears right now....") thread just started get "closed." It it because some direct challenges at other posters ensued? Or something else?
Reds & Nats, 2013 LCS. Take2 (9/13) Reds but no Nats
Ensuring substantive and civil discussion on a public internet forum is exceedingly difficult to do. I know this because I actually run a listserv that is closed (not open to the public; just members of a specific org). To ensure substance and civility on the one I run, we developed very specific and clearly written rules, importantly along with phased enforcement mechanisms. Works for us but we only have a few hundred members versus the few thousand here. Other sites do pretty well to ensure good discourse simply with active moderation. But that can require more resources than free sites with limited ad revenue can muster. Lots of other sites never get big traffic because the content on them sucks.
RedsZone uses an approach (two different posting communities with one by invitation only) that I haven't seen too much before.
But I wouldn't knock it because it seems to work and because I don't have enough experience with it yet.
Will say whomever is behind RZ deserves a lot of credit for creating a free-to-members forum that seems informed, substantive and civil whether Old Guard or Sun Deck. And, getting to 4000 or so members is not an easy thing to do.
I've been spending some time on Old Red Guard also. Clearly there's a ton of very deep expertise on all things Reds there. I'm glad to see that many on Sundeck have that kind of knowledge and passion also.
At the end of the day for me, I'll contribute here (Sun Deck) because the discussion is civil and informative. So far, it absolutely has been. If at some point the powers that be invite me to post on some other forum, that's great. If not, fine as well.
Life's too short to get too up in arms about something like this. Try to put yourself in the shoes of a site owner who's trying to build the best, most substantive, most productive online community for a specific shared interest group. It's really, really tough to do. And, seems like RZ has done it. And, extra bonus, for discussion on my favorite team! Love that.
For what it's worth. And, full disclosure, I don't even know who's behind this site so definitely no hidden agenda or connection to that person or persons.

This has already been debated ad naseum and GIK and I have already stated there will be an announcement on the matter in the not too distant future.
Given that, I don't see any new information that could come about from this thread, so besides that reason, I'm closing it since many others on the subject already exist.
Board Moderators may, at their discretion and judgment, delete and/or edit any messages that violate any of the following guidelines: 1. Explicit references to alleged illegal or unlawful acts. 2.

Direct personal attacks, flames, fights, trolling, baiting, name-calling, general nuisance, excessive player criticism or anything along those lines. 6. Posting spam. 7. Each person may have only one user account. It is fine to be critical here - that's what this board is for. But let's not beat a subject or a player to death, please.

Lt. Gov. Wyman to address WCSU graduate commencement
State's second-highest official keynote speaker at May 11 ceremonies
DANBURY, CONN. — Connecticut Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman, whose executive and legislative service in state government spans a quarter of a century, will deliver the keynote address at Western Connecticut State University's graduate commencement on Friday, May 11, 2012.
Wyman will address 2012 recipients of WCSU master's and doctoral degrees and their invited guests during the commencement ceremony beginning at 7 p.m. in the Feldman Arena of the O'Neill Athletic and Convocation Center on the university's Westside campus, 43 Lake Ave. Extension in Danbury. The event will be hosted by the WCSU Division of Graduate Studies.
"Few in the state's history can match the contribution that Lt. Gov. Wyman has made over the years" WCSU President James W. Schmotter observed. "Her outstanding public service is a role model for our students, and I know they will enjoy and gain value from her remarks."
Wyman has served as Connecticut lieutenant governor since January 2011, playing an important role in a wide range of policy initiatives by the administration of Gov. Dannel Malloy ranging from budget management to pension funding reform. Prior to her election as the state's second-highest executive officer, she served for 16 years as state comptroller, implementing stricter accounting standards in state finances and overseeing modernization of the computer system used to run the state's core financial operations. As comptroller, Wyman also championed establishment of the state-sponsored HUSKY program providing health insurance coverage for children and families in Connecticut.
Wyman entered public service in 1979 as a member of the board of education in Tolland, where she has resided with her family for 39 years. She served from 1987 to 1995 in the Connecticut House as state representative for the 53rd District, including tenures as chairperson of the House education committee and the appropriations subcommittee on elementary and secondary education. The Connecticut Education Association cited her as "Legislator of the Year" in honor of her work on education issues.
During her tenure as comptroller, she received honorary recognitions from the Connecticut State Medical Society, Connecticut Federation of Business and Professional Women, Council of Small Towns, and Connecticut Coalition of Police and Corrections Officers.
Wyman has participated extensively in charitable and community service activities focusing on veterans, health and safety issues. She took a leadership role in raising private donations to create the Wall of Honor and annual memorial ceremony in the state capitol paying tribute to Connecticut members of the U.S. armed forces who have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. She also has been active in Connecticut fundraising efforts to benefit breast cancer research, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the American Heart Association and the National Kidney Foundation.

United Arab Emirates mandates military service
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United Arab Emirates has issued a law requiring compulsory military service for adult males, formalizing a proposal outlined earlier in the year to bolster the ranks of the U.S.-allied Gulf federation's armed forces.
The official state news agency WAM announced the move Saturday, saying the law "aims to instill values of loyalty and sacrifice in the hearts of the citizens."
The legislation requires male high school graduates between the ages of 18 and 30 to serve nine months. Those without a high school diploma must serve two years. Military service for Emirati women will be voluntary.
The seven-state federation, formed in 1971 after decades under British protection, has been spared the political unrest that has roiled much of the Middle East in recent years.
It has longstanding cultural and trade links to Iran but nonetheless remains wary of its powerful neighbor, which boasts a larger military and possesses significant stockpiles of missiles in range of the Emirates. Both countries claim sovereignty over three islands in the Persian Gulf that are occupied by Iran.
The UAE military currently has an estimated 51,000 active-duty personnel, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
Emirati citizens are vastly outnumbered by foreign guest workers in their own country, and the UAE military and police forces include foreigners in their ranks. The country's leaders have taken steps to get more nationals into public and private-sector jobs, including in the military.
In recent years, UAE troops have joined the NATO-led mission to Afghanistan and provided humanitarian relief to Pakistan.

After being absent from NASCAR for over a quarter century, Dodge came back to NASCAR in 2001. However Dodge is making this 2012 season its last in both Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series.
Dodge's departure from the two series leaves only three car manufacturers participating: Ford, Chevrolet, and Toyota. Toyota is, of course, the most recent manufacturer to join NASCAR but was greeted with much controversy from fans because it was the first foreign car manufacturer to be allowed to join NASCAR. With the departure of Dodge, NASCAR now only has two American manufacturers and many fans are wondering if the exit of Dodge leaves a vacancy for a second foreign manufacture to enter.
There is a silver lining to this story since Brad Keselowski, a Dodge driver, is first (as of this entry) in the Chase, and has the opportunity to send Dodge packing with a Sprint Cup Championship. SF

Elmore Leonard's first-person in disguise
"So, when you say it's character-driven," the interviewer [Martin Amis] asked, "do you mean you're thinking, `How would this character see this scene?' Because you're usually third-person. You don't directly speak through your characters, but there is a kind of third-person that is a first-person in disguise."
Leonard replied that: "it takes on somewhat of a first-person sound, but not really. Because I like third-person. I don't want to be stuck with one character's viewpoint, because there are too many viewpoints."
Here's an example from Riding the Rap (1995), the second book to feature U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens:
"He was a rangy kid with the build of a college athlete, bigger than this marshal in his blue suit and cowboy boots—the marshal calm though, not appearing to be the least apprehensive. He said the West Palm strike team was shorthanded at the moment, the reason he was alone, but believed he would manage."That's a decent bit of description — until it becomes something more in the highlighted portion. Leonard beautifully conjures the flavor of how Raylan Givens would speak and think but without dialogue. That has to be what Martin Amis meant by first-person in disguise. It also achieves the high comic goal of not just saying funny things (that is, cracking a joke), but saying things funny.
That, I think, is a big part what of what readers mean when they talk about Leonard's humor. His books may not about in slapstick, laugh-out-loud moments, but they sure do say lots of things funny. [Disclosure: I'd read just three Leonard novels and one short story before Riding the Rap: Be Cool, The Hot Kid, Pronto (the first Raylan Givens novel), and "3:10 to Yuma," so I don't know how pertinent this post is to his work as a whole. Comment from Leonardians is welcome.]
Who else has Elmore Leonard influenced? (Here's a post from the paleolithic age of Detectives Beyond Borders that asked "Who is the most influential crime writer ever?")

Rombelli Rallies To Capture Audi Sailing Series Title, Capolino Named European Champion, Kiss Prevails On Final Day To Win Porto Rotondo Event
1 September 2013
Porto Rotondo, Italy - Congratulations are in full order for overall 2013 Audi Sailing Series Champion Alessandro Rombelli aboard STIG, and Porto Rotondo Champion Michael Kiss on Bacio. As only a European team can wear the title of European Champion, Giancarlo Capolino aboard Legionario claims the title alongside of tactician Francesco Ivaldi and crew Diego Battisti. Three amazing Champions in a fleet of all-around winners!
For the fifth and final event of the 2013 Audi Melges 20 Sailing Series, a dramatic last day awarded Kiss and his crew of tactician Chris Rast and Willie McBride as Event No. 5 — Porto Rotondo Champions! A total of eight races were completed over the four-day racing event with Kiss edging the fleet by seven points to win. In second overall, overnight leader Capolino slipped to finish second. Another American, former International Class Chairman Marc Hollerbach on Fu came back from yesterday's tenth position to take the third seat on the podium. Russ Lucas on Shimmer finished fourth and Marco Franchini's Mezza Luna rounded out the top five.
The 2013 Audi Sailing Series has been one of the most successful hosting thirty-five teams representing eight countries. Rombelli is no stranger to success in the Audi Melges 20. He is a former Gold Cup Champion, and his 2013 Audi Sailing Series Championship title alongside tactician Paul Goodison and Giorgio Tortarolo is a first. Kiss too has found victory in the Class on multiple occasions. Not only is he a three-time, back-to-back Audi Melges 20 U.S. National Champion, he is also a former Miami Winter Series Champion.
Capolino placed second overall in the Series, followed by early-on leader Guido Miani on Monaco Racing Fleet. Achille Onorato on Mascalzone Latino, Jr. and Renato Vallivero on Audi Ultra Fratelli Giacomel stand tall finishing the season proudly in fourth and fifth.
The final event of the 2013 Audi Melges 20 Sailing Series was organized by B-Plan Sport&Events in full collaboration with the International Audi Melges 20 Class Association and Melges Europe.
The conclusion of last week's Nationals and this weekend's European Championship has set an incredible Fall/Winter Audi Melges 20 racing season in fast-forward motion.
The North American schedule shifts into high gear with the 2013 North American Championship in Toronto, Canada on September 13-15, and a wonderful warm-up to Worlds event is scheduled for Miami, kicking off the 2013-14 Miami Winter Series on November 1-3.
Thirty-six teams have signed up already to race at the World Championship on December 11-14 at Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Florida. The Notice of Race is now available and Online Registration is open as an unprecedented attendance level is expected.

It has been over twelve months since my last post, and I feel lost without the snippets of time that I used to have to research and write of things that popped up during my family history wanderings. However the demands of my husband's illness and his fairly dramatic and rapid decline, made the smallest effort impossible. With much physio and medical attention, he is now gradually improving or at least stabilising, as he will never actually get any better. During the absence from my computer, I was not even aware of the demise of Google Reader, and have subsequently lost the thread of what has been happening in the Genealogy community. Very slowly but surely I am re-subscribing to my favourite blogs, as I come across them.
I would like to go back and continue with the challenge set by Gould Genealogy last year of "Family History through the Alphabet", but that may be too much effort for this tired mind at present. During the past month, I have written one post, that to me does not read very well, but I may just publish it and be done... Jump in regardless and join the throng so to speak.
This post is just to reintroduce myself, dip my toe into the water, and say "Hi" to all the genie bloggers out there.
It was finding this photo below of my home suburb of Malabar, previously known as Long Bay, an eastern suburb of Sydney, which when this picture was taken was no more than a seaside picnic spot, with few permanent residents, many whom were my ancestors. Was the woman crossing the street to the beach in her long skirt a great great aunt? Though dulled from lack of use, my mind remains enquiring and eager to explore the past, less any more knowledge that I presently have or may acquire be lost to time

Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort reported Monday that it exceeded 400,000 skier visits for the first time in its 34-year history this season.
The 2002 skier visit tally of 402,718 surpassed the previous record of 378,091 set in 1998-99 — an increase of nearly 7 percent. The mark also represents an 18 percent increase over the average of the past five seasons.
"Over the past several years, we have been investing in our resort so we can accommodate the demand for high-quality winter recreational experiences on Mt. Hood," resort Vice President and General Manager Dave Riley said.
"We have worked very hard to become a premier winter recreation resort, and I am very grateful that the skiing and snowboarding public responded by choosing to come to Mt. Hood Meadows," he said.
Weather was the primary contributor to the monumental 2002 season as some 541 inches of snow accumulated at Meadows — the fourth largest snowfall in the past 13 years. Cold weather, combined with a record snowfall pace in December, January and February, provided epic conditions throughout much of the season.
Meadows also noticed a resurgence in cross-country skiing this season, with a 30 percent increase in trail usage from just two seasons ago.

Although neither London nor Formula One chief executive Bernie Ecclestone have exactly okayed it, there's a chance that the stadium built for this summer's Olympics may be used for a Grand Prix race stage. The cars would race in and around the stadium, looping through the Olympic park.
First, Formula One's bid must get approval from the London Legacy Development Corporation. But since that organization has only accepted four other bids, the race must be pretty high on their list of possible events.
The bid was placed on Formula One's behalf by a race promoter, but it looks like Ecclestone is waiting until it's more of a sure thing before he throws all of his weight behind it. If it works out, it could be the realization of his occasionally expressed desire to field another British Grand Prix.
If this thing happens, the Olympic Committee should let a Formula One driver drive a car in the torch relay.

The purpose of this website
RU486facts.org is designed to answer the most common questions about RU-486, simply and directly, without hype or bias.
This website is for
women who are thinking about taking RU-486
to end a pregnancy
medical professionals
teachers and students
Why we've put this site together
We believe that informed consent is an essential part of good health care. The confusion and misinformation about RU-486 is troubling. Many people, for example, are confused about whether RU-486 is similar to the "morning after pill."
View survey results
] And RU-486 ads do not inform women about the drug's effectiveness, side effects, risks and contraindications.
At RU486facts.org you'll find the facts, backed up by quotes and citations to reliable sources, such as government documents, medical journals and major newspapers. So in-depth information is just a click away.
A Health News Index poll sponsored by Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard School of Public Health Methodology, conducted by Princeton Survey Research Assoc. in August 2001 revealed that only 61% of women age 18-44 have heard of mifepristone (RU-486). Kaiser Family Foundation Press Release, "National Survey of Gynecologists and Family Practice Physicians," September 24, 2001. When asked if RU-486 was the same thing as "morning-after pills," 47% answered "don't know" and 36% answered "true." When asked if RU-486 was the same thing as "emergency contraceptive pills," 52% answered "don't know" and 25% answered "true" (Health News Index Poll August, 2001, data provided by The Roper Center for Public Opinion Research, University of Connecticut). The most interesting part is that the groups conducting this survey treated "true" (that RU-486 is "the same thing" as emergency contraceptive pills and morning-after pills) as a wrong answer. Advertising and consumer product information about emergency contraceptive pills draw a distinction between them and RU-486, but in fact, RU-486 has been used as emergency contraception and even tested as a daily hormonal contraceptive pill.
