We're living life online. We invite friends to parties, store our family photo albums, buy clothes and yes, print coupons, all from the Internet. But even the most Internet savvy of us have at one time or another felt a little reluctance to bring our financial life online. And while it always comes with a risk, the truth is, you could be more at risk sending a bill payment by snail mail then you are paying it online.
But quite a few of us have taken our finances online, so for you, we say the next step is taking it mobile. While reputable financial apps take great precautions to keep your information safe, we highly recommend putting a password on your phone before taking your financial life mobile.
Use an app to Budget. Creating a budget is easy, maintaining it is the hard part. That's why the ability to track your spending from your phone is so important. This way you can update on the go or from the line at the grocery store! You can choose an app like Mint.com, which connects to your bank account and does it for you. Or, if you like to do things manually, a spreadsheet app like Apple's Numbers has a personal budget template.
Online Bill Pay. The majority of us have accepted that online bill pay is a safe method to pay our bills and have already switched over. But here's another advantage to online bill pay, you can safely use your credit card to pay most bills and therefore rack up those rewards points. Considering bills account for the bulk of expenses, this is a great way to rack up those miles or cash back on your credit card.
Set reminders. That being said, switching to paperless billing means you lose the built in reminders that show up in your mail. So it's important you find another system. Paying bills late can do the most damage to your credit score, so it's extra important you don't skip this step. Most companies will let you subscribe for email alerts when a bill is due. That's great, but in addition, you should create one place where all your due dates are stored like a digital calendar or an app like Manilla that tracks it for you. Some services like your cable provider may let you reset due dates so you can group bills together or spread them apart, if that helps your finances.
Use free bank alerts. Online banking often comes with the option to use free alerts. Take advantage of these. You can receive them when your account reaches a low threshold of your choosing, so you never have to risk overdraft. Get alerts when a check has posted or your direct deposit is credited. If you're worried about fraud, get alerts when a debit card transaction has been made outside the U.S. or online, by phone or mail.
Set up automatic transfer. Automatically have a set amount of money transferred from your checking into your savings. For most, it is better to have $50 a week transferred as opposed to $200 a month. You're less likely to notice the smaller increments leaving your account.
Pay back friends instantly. No one likes having an outstanding debt hanging over your head. Use mobile app, Venmo, to easily and instantly pay people back. Just choose a friend by phone number, email or Facebook, type the amount and a message and send payment. Just make sure to send money via debit card. Sending by credit card incurs a 3% fee. Receiving money is always free.
Consider online-only banks. There are some perks to online-only banks. They typically carry less fees. A survey from MoneyRates.com found 63% of online checking accounts were free of monthly maintenance fees compared to just 29% of all checking accounts. It can also be a good place for your savings. You may earn slightly more interest. With interest rates so low, every one-hundredth of a percent counts.
For your taxes. I know most of us can't think past this year's tax deadline. But downloading tax apps now will actually help you out majorly for next year's deadline. Some have ways you can track your deductions like charitable expenses throughout the year, so you're not racking your brain a year from now. Find deals on Tax software.
A final tip: Try to do all of your banking from your own secure network. Doing your online banking from public places or a hotel can open you to identity theft.

I understand that the iOS 5 Photo Stream is a collection of all of the recent photos taken on all iOS 5 devices in a given account, synced with those devices through the cloud. It is not clear to me, however, what the Photo Stream settings in Aperture do.
It appears that "Enable Photo Stream" simply connects Aperture to the Photo Stream and makes it available as a source for viewing and importing into Aperture; but it is not clear to me what "Automatic Import" and "Automatic Upload" do.

Rockets guard Jeremy Lin launches foundation for underprivileged kids
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
HOUSTON – Jeremy Lin launched a charitable foundation then lost to his boss in ping pong.
The Houston Rockets point guard hosted a gala Thursday night, the eve of All-Star Weekend, to unveil a foundation that will benefit three Houston organizations helping underprivileged children. Current NBA players Chandler Parsons, David Lee, Tyson Chandler, Stephen Curry, Steve Novak and Joakim Noah and retired Rockets center Yao Ming were among those who attended the event, held in the atrium and concourse at Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros.
"I feel like this was always something that I wanted to do," Lin said. "I didn't know I could do it at this level and be able to have a foundation and do an event like this."
The 24-year-old Lin is a year removed from his meteoric rise to international stardom in New York, the phenomenon dubbed Linsanity. Houston stunned the Knicks by signing Lin, a restricted free agent, to a three-year, $25 million contract.
Lin is averaging 12.6 points and 6.2 assists and has guided the Rockets to a 29-26 record this year. Houston currently holds the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference. While the media spotlight isn't as intense in Houston as it was in New York, Lin still enjoys worldwide popularity. As his fame has blossomed, Lin wanted to start directing his global appeal toward a worthy cause.
"I've learned to understand what it means to have a platform and how to use that the right way," Lin said. "I'm still learning what that means every day. I feel like this is a step forward in being able to use the attention that we (NBA players) are given from society to be able to bring it upon other people in need.
"I figure, if you've got a lot of cameras around, you might as well say something worthwhile."
Lin greeted guests on a red carpet, posed for pictures and even briefly showed off his musical skills on a piano. He ended his night by challenging Rockets general manager Daryl Morey in ping pong on a table that was a centerpiece to the gala. Morey won two of the three games they played, and the two shared a laugh and shook hands afterward.
The foundation will benefit Workshop Houston, the Yellowstone Academy and the city's Partnership for the Advancement and Immersion of Refugees (PAIR). Lin studied local organizations and chose those three based on the work they've done and their level of financial need.
"We believe in what they've been doing and we've done a lot of homework on their pasts, their programs, their kids," Lin said. "We feel like these three are doing phenomenal work, and would really benefit from a boost."
Lin, the NBA's first American player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent, was raised in northern California and says he would like to expand the foundation's reach to that area. Beyond that, Lin hopes the foundation can eventually gain traction internationally.
"Somewhere, years down the road, I definitely want to make an impact within third-world countries and for our foundation to be able to do work in a lot of different areas across the world," he said. "This is definitely the first step."

U2 frontman Bono described Apple's iPod in 2004 as "the most interesting artistic creation in pop since the electric guitar." The band built heavy ties with Apple, appearing live onstage with Steve Jobs and in Apple TV ads performing the hit single "Vertigo." Apple sold U2 iPods and made the band's entire opus available as a one-click download in the iTunes Store. Steve Jobs, known for not touching people, hugged Bono onstage.
But the band's homepage at U2.com now features a prominent namedrop for a different gadget: BlackBerry. The gadget's maker, Research in Motion, is sponsoring the band's summer tour for their new album, No Line on the Horizon.
Bono is also a partner in the venture firm Elevation Partners, which owns 39 percent of Palm.
So far, no one has been able to answer the question: Did Bono and Steve have a falling out, or did RIM just offer a better deal?

This shocking video shows the moment a group of walkers had a miracle escape as they narrowly avoided a cliff fall at a beach made famous by TV's Broadchurch.
Around 1,000 tonnes of rock fell from the cliff and members of the public were warned to stay away as the area remained unstable.
Now, the Environment Agency have released a video of the moment the rock fell – which shows a group of walkers at the base of the cliffs.
The chunks of cliff fell away at around 5pm on Tuesday 13 March, from East Cliff on West Bay beach in Dorset – known as a key filming location for Broadchurch.
The shocking video above shows the dramatic moment the cliff gave way, sending huge plumes of dust into the air, with at least two people stood in close proximity.
No injuries
The footage was captured on a webcam video operated by Environment Agency Wessex.
An Environment Agency spokesperson said, "The Jurassic Coast is a popular destination for walkers and fossil hunters.
"Foul weather can cause rock fall from the cliffs so avoid these areas. Heavy rainfall contributes to cliff sumping because of the extra weight and lubrication.
"So it might be tempting to look for fossils or inspect the rock fall, but the risk of further collapse can last for a few days."
Several people can be seen on the beach at the moment the rocks fell, but nobody was injured.
'Your life is not worth risking for a walk'
The Facebook post by the Environment Agency reads, "No one was hurt or killed when 1,000 tons of rock collapsed at East Beach during foul weather.
"But it is extremely dangerous to be on or near cliffs when the wind is high and waves are strong.
"There is no minimum safe distance. Be wise: your life is not worth risking for a walk."
Public are advised to stay away
At the time of the fall, a multi-agency search and rescue operation was launched.
Chief Inspector Lance Cliff, of Dorset Police, said on Tuesday evening, "At this stage it is not believed anyone is trapped following the fall."
The beach remained closed on Wednesday morning, after being sealed off shortly after 5pm on Tuesday.
Speaking at the time, a spokesman for Dorset County Council said, "There's been a large rockfall of approximately 1,000 tons at East Cliff West Bay.
"The police and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency have closed the coastal path between West Bay and Freshwater.
"The beach is also closed, and there are dangerous overhangs from top of cliff. The public are advised to stay away."

Listen: Desire Lines
Camera Obscura (4AD, 2013)
Beauty is worth waiting for, as is joy. The Scottish band Camera Obscura's magnificent album My Maudlin Career was released to critical acclaim in 2009. Since then fans have been pining for news of a follow-up. Their new album Desire Lines immediately assures that the wait has not been
in vain.
Camera Obscura, a five-piece indie-pop band, is shaped by romantic sentiment soaked in reverb and layered with a chorus of "oohs." Its often dreamy sound is laced with a forlorn longing through the remarkable voice of its lead singer and lyricist Tracyanne Campbell. An elegantly expressed sadness seemed to be their aesthetic, but on Desire Lines the blue light of that melancholy has gently brightened, and a few brilliant rays of joy have broken through.
The increased tempo of many of these songs makes the joyous inclinations of "This Is Love (Feels Alright)" and "Do It Again" unmistakable. Not that heartbreak, sadness, or confusion have disappeared. They climb to the surface in the teary "Cri Du Coeur" and the slow swing of "Fifth In Line To The Throne." The latter also showcases the band's ability to evoke the past while imbuing it with freshness through that most rare of entities, a clever guitar solo.
On the titular track "Desire Lines," Campbell isn't content to let this heartbreak win the day. She counters it with upbeat self-affirmation on the keyboard-driven "Break It to You Gently" and by directing her attention to more fruitful relationships, like the friendship at the heart of "Every Weekday."
The sense of longing remains on Desire Lines, but this time the beauty is tinged with a little more joy than sadness. On their previous album Campbell memorably sang, "I don't want to be sad again," and perhaps Desire Lines hints that her hopes are beginning to come true. The music, and the joy, is worth the wait.

In an interview with Andy Lees, senior vice president of the Redmond company's Mobile Communications Business, Todd Bishop managed to grab some interesting facts about recent Windows Mobile developments.
First, Microsoft sold more than 18 million Windows Mobile software licenses in the last fiscal year, which ended June 30, 2008. This was about 2 million short of Microsoft's widely publicized 20 million target. Lees explained that a few OEMs shipped their devices later than expected, and this was the reason for the shipment target being missed. He declined, however, to say which ones: "That would be unfair to the OEMs."
Secondly, Microsoft increased Windows Mobile's share of the worldwide mobile phone operating system market. According to IDC data, Windows Mobile unit sales have grown faster than the overall market, expanding from slightly more than 11 percent to just under 13 percent of the worldwide smartphone market. Two months ago, Microsoft announced it expected Windows Mobile sales to grow by at least 50 percent in the upcoming fiscal years 2008 and 2009.
Thirdly, Lees claimed the shortfall in Windows Mobile unit sales didn't have a material impact on revenue in the Entertainment & Devices Division. 2 million may seem like a large number, but the division has revenue coming in from various sources that don't depend on Windows Mobile software licenses.
After acquiring Danger in February, Microsoft has now announced that its subsidiary teamed up with T-Mobile USA to release the new T-Mobile Sidekick. The device features support for video capture, playback, and sharing; wireless stereo music and media sharing via Bluetooth; quick friend search and group chats in instant messaging; customizable Web browsing; universal search across all phone applications and data; and a customizable shell. Collaborations like this one are great for pushing Microsoft services onto new phones, but they won't help much in revenue or unit sales since the Sidekick doesn't run Windows Mobile.

In a normal season, the Degehaizi reservoir has a storage capacity of 1.6 million cubic meters of water. But in 2010 due to the drought it dried up completely. The drought is another chilling reminder of what climate change has in store for the whole globe unless we revolutionize the way we make and use energy.

The PIC has been programmed to read a value from eeprom, increase it by one, rollover back to zero once a certain value is reached, and use this value to decide which sound to play.
In doing this, we can get our alarm clock to play a different sound each morning!
The original alarm clock mechanism has been kept the same - when the alarm time is reached, the clock mechanism pulls a line low. We use this as the ground for our board, so that it is switched on an off by the alarm clock mechanism (the mechanism keeps the line low for about 15 minutes after passing the alarm time). By doing this, we're conserving the batteries, since the entire circuit is only every powered for about 30 minutes each day (once for 15 mins in the morning, once in the evening, unless the alarm on/off switch has been moved to disconnect the ground rail from the circuit).

We don't have to tell you that the job market majorly sucks right now. Bad news for everyone on the hunt for a new gig, but seriously crummy news for recent grads. When your resume isn't jam-packed with experience, you need to do everything you can to show potential employers that you are career material.

Shruti, 22, Future Lawyer
Currently enrolled in law school at the University of Michigan, Shruti was preparing for her internship interviews and needed a new look that would help her convey a more professional, serious attitude. "Since I started law school right after undergrad, with no full-time work experience, I'm definitely on the young side for my profession," says Shruti.
"Shruti's look was young and demure – attributes that could prevent her from being taken seriously in the legal world," says Eva Scrivo. "We set out to give her a more mature, polished look that exudes confidence." That meant cutting her shapeless, grown-out layers into a sleek bob and adding highlights and lowlights for dimension. "Shruti had fine, mid-length hair – a combination that made it look even thinner. I cut a strong bob line that hit just below the chin, to help strengthen her jaw line and overall bone structure," says stylist Donna Tripodi. To help camouflage the thinness at her roots, Tripodi then shaded her roots a few hues darker than the rest of Shruti's hair. This creates the optical illusion of thicker hair and the appearance of more depth.
"Shruti's brows were what first caught my eye," says makeup artist Mara Palumbo. "I started by sculpting and perfecting her arch, while maintaining the fullness of the brow and using a powder that's a shade lighter than her natural color to fill in any gaps." Palumbo then created a clean complexion using tinted moisturizer, some sheer powder in her T-zone, and some light contouring under the cheekbones to help strengthen Shruti's facial structure. In addition to her stunning brows, Shruti was also blessed with long, lush lashes, so Palumbo used neutral tones on her eyelids to emphasize them.
The important thing to remember about working in a conservative place is that you can still look stylish and experiment with your hair and makeup, provided you do it in a sophisticated, grown-up way. "This look, hair and makeup, is perfect for a law office setting and something that's super easy to do on a daily basis," says Palumbo.
"I think the new look makes me feel more at ease and therefore more confident," says Shruti. "It brings the focus to my features, so it might help capture an interviewer's attention without being distracting. It certainly looks more mature without looking old or dated, and it helps to convey a sense of quiet confidence."

Sarah, 22, Future Public Relations Coordinator
A double major in Art History and Journalism at NYU, Sarah literally just graduated and, like many students entering the job market, was concerned about landing a job after college. "With school and my internship, keeping up my look wasn't a priority," she says. "I definitely left a bit too much time between cuts and coloring, leaving my hair looking less than desirable — not sloppy, but definitely not put together."
"Sarah's fine, long, blonde hair needed a haircut that could strengthen her facial features, add fullness and height, and create the illusion of thicker hair," says Scrivo. "I designed a look that would help transition her from student to professional. A concave layering pattern is a great technique that creates layers while maintaining thickness at the bottom. The layers softly frame her face and add shape and lift."
The most pressing problem for Sarah was her blonde locks. "Her hair color was too gold and not bright enough around her face," says Scrivo. "She needed some lighter pieces in the front to make her eye color pop, as well as some lowlights for more dimension and to strengthen her perimeter." Colorist Meghan Baldwin placed lowlights underneath her hair to add that dimension, plus some highlights around her face to add fullness to her fine locks. "Sarah is entering into the fashion and beauty industry, so I wanted to make sure she looked her best with a fun, yet professional look," says Baldwin.
"My main goal with Sarah was to get her away from the sorority-girl look and transform her into a successful, yet sexy business woman," says Palumbo. "In PR, it's all about looking effortlessly put together, which in reality means taking more time with your makeup than just a little concealer and a quick liquid line, which has been Sarah's go-to routine." Palumbo went for a subtle smoky eye using gold and navy tones to complement Sarah's blonde tresses. "I noticed Sarah seemed to follow her lash line on a downward slope when applying her liner," says Palumbo. "This is a common mistake women make — it can really make your eyes look tired. I showed her how to use a fine tip liner brush to create an upward angle at the outside edge of her eye before coming down onto her lash line and lid." A swipe of bronzer and peach blush on her cheeks added a healthy glow and finished off the look.
Sarah confessed she was nervous about the makeover at first, because she's not good with change — even getting a trim freaks her out — but she was thrilled with the results. "I think my hair looks a lot more professional. Even without styling, it just looks much more neat and tidy, and the color is bold and fun, but also sophisticated and clean. Going into event planning and PR, the way you present yourself matters — it speaks to what you can do for a client and I definitely feel like I now look more put together. Overall I feel I look more sophisticated without looking older than my age — or too stern."

Julie, 23, Future Architect
Since graduating from the University of Michigan in 2011, Julie has been struggling to find a job in her desired field, settling for internships until she can land her dream gig. "I was rocking the same style that I had from 8th grade to freshman year of college, so it felt a bit immature. I'm a low-maintenance type of girl, so I tend to spend a minimal amount of time on my hair in the morning. I usually let it air dry, so I may come off as a little too casual. As a designer, you need to have opinions on how things look and work together. Sometimes I forget that this applies to my own appearance as well," she says.
"Julie's long, black hair was better suited for a college student than an architect," said Eva. "We wanted her to look professional, but still have an edge that lent an air of creativity. I cut her hair in square layers using a razor. Razor cutting helps to open up a haircut, giving otherwise heavy hair a sense of lightness." Julie had never colored her hair before, so when Eva mentioned highlights, she admits she got a bit nervous. Fortunately, there was nothing to fear, as colorist Mira Herri used a soft honey tone that brought out the warmth in her skin and defined the lines of the cut. "The balayage highlighting technique that I used created beautiful, soft dimension and requires less maintenance. Perfect for the busy college grad building her career," says Herri.
Julie revealed that she doesn't usually wear makeup, so Palumbo's goal was to ease her into a routine without doing anything too complex or overwhelming. "I wanted Julie to be able to express her creativity through her makeup," says Palumbo. "I chose a bold lip color as her focal point – a strong gerber-daisy pink. Her look is current to today's makeup trends and conveys her involvement in the arts. The pink tones that I chose for her lip color help to balance the yellow undertones in her complexion."
"I think my new look exudes more of a statement and shows off more of my personality," says Julie. "It better reflects my career field and shows people that I am ready to fully transition out of college mode and into the working world. I feel more confident and inspired to dress to match my new hair and makeup. I think I look more put together and ready to interact with all types of clients."

EXT3FSCK necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 27 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
Looking to have the frontpage of our new existing design finished.
So we aren't looking for anything new as far as design aspect, its just a few things or if you have any new ideas that will give us the look we are pushing for , would be great. We just like to have the project finished.
Our designer finished this for us:
Looks good but its missing something, which are the banners in the top, we aim to have at least 5, but for now we are asking for 2 banners from 99designs to see how to proceed with the website. (What we need in full brief)
We feel the buttons don't fit right on the frontpage, or the icons, so we are looking for someone to give us a good perspective on how our frontpage should look like on what we currently have so far. We need for it to be very professional but attractive to customers.
Sizes and more details are on the full-brief, so read on.
APTHost Communications
APTHost is a web-hosting company that specializes in ffmpeg-based hosting. We offer a wide range of services from shared to VPS , to dedicated, and clustered custom solutions to those special customers.
In our new image we aim to go towards a more service oriented hosting company, giving a look that we offer more specialized solutions as in failover/clustered solutions, and easy-to-use tools to help customers with their website - big or small.
What we are looking in out frontpage with the idea of the images and buttons is close to what http://www.servepath.com/ has right now , I like the idea of having large banners/images represent what we offer first hand, and easy to rotate. But we want the entire website to look proper and professional with these images on how they will be intergrated, so we want the look and feel adjusted to look good.
We want to start off on the banner-images, which we find the most important, is we are looking to 2 banner ads for now (we plan to push more work to the winner of this contest to create our other banners - so we can keep the same design feel to the website) .
One banner ad is something showing off to our customers that we have a properiary one-click "script-installer" that in which customers can install any ffmpeg-based script and more, like:
1) phpmotion
2) clipshare
3) phpfox
4) vidiscript
5) Rayzz
6) vshare
7) ostube
6) socialmedia
And much more...
We want somehow an image showing off maybe the above logos somewhere in there and advertising our "one-click script installer" for the above scripts.
For our 2nd banner we want something that can represet APTHost as a whole. Maybe a photo of some sort, or something that will represent the company, but will give the professional look to the page.
Just like how http://www.servepath.com/ has in their page or http://www.rackspace.com/index.php
We have had this made by some designer:
Which personally I don't like how they are going with it, so which is why I am posting this contest, maybe there is a better person out there.

Finally, after 2.5 years of on and off work on this, I have made my DC-10-10s available for YSFlight with the full range of schemes of this variant. Performance in game has also been tweaked to be less buggy, and a full HD cockpit is also included in this update! The next update this pack will receive will be the full pack, including the -30s, -40s and -15s, though when that will happen is still a big question mark...
In the meantime, please enjoy flying these trijets!
1) No shadowing issues
2) Proper dnm tree
3) Proper naming of parts
Once these are satisfied, I will give you the go ahead so long as the paint scheme looks good and you credit me for the original model.

Hey guys,
Since I've enlisted, I've really had no time to work on mods consistently. As such, I would like to release a small beta pack of my DC-10s, which currently only include the early DC-10-10, since this may now take forever to complete. A blank scheme and an American Airlines scheme (which happens to be N101AA, the first DC-10) are available for now, but I will expand it to the full range once I have finished up the other variants and the cockpit.
I have released these so that you all can finally enjoy flying these HD models (~60k vertices each). I would also like to gain feedback regarding the work I have done on it so far, so feel free to offer criticism regarding the flight performance and the external models.
The aircraft in this pack do not have a working cockpit and still need some touch up, but I may allow repaints on a case by case basis.

The Idea of Prostitution
Spinifex Press, 2008 - Social Science - 394 pages
"There are (at least) two competing views on prostitution: prostitution as a legitimate and acceptable form of employment, freely chosen by women; and men's use of prostitution as a form of degrading the women and causing grave psychological damage. In The Idea of Prostitution Sheila Jeffreys explores these sharply contrasting views. She examines the changing concept of prostitution from White Slave Traffic of the nineteenth century to its present status as legal. The book includes discussion of the varieties of prostitution such as: the experience of male prostitutes; the uses of women in pornography; and the role of military brothels compared with slavery and rape in marriage. Sheila Jeffreys explodes the distinction between forced and free prostitution, and documents the expanding international traffic in women. The author examines the claims of the prostitutes' rights movement and the sex industry, while supporting prostituted women. Her argument is threefold: the sex of prostitution is not just sex; the work of prostitution is not ordinary work; and prostitution is a 'choice' not for the prostituted women, but for the men who abuse them."--Publisher description.

I was talking recently to another SLP and of course we were exchanging ideas about how to get organized at the beginning of the year. So I thought I'd share my tried-and-true system with you. It has taken me several years to get to this point, and it will likely continue to evolve.
I have a crazy system, but I find that it has worked well, especially since I revamped it last year. I group my students, and each group gets a two-pocket slash folder like these:
Once upon a time, I put the folders into binders, but the binders grow too large throughout the year, and become more cumbersome. So I ditched the binder, and opted for an accordion file with a handle to keep them in.
It is similar to this one from Walmart. They're easy to grab and put back as I need them. I just put them in the order that I will see my groups, and voila!
Ok, so what's in the folders?
First, the front pocket: For each individual student, I have a data page. This includes the student's name and date of birth, and 5 sections of notes. Each section is identical and includes: the objective targeted, room for data and notes, an indication of group or individual therapy, start/stop time for group, and selections for student or clinician absence/meetings/special activities (assemblies and field trips).
In the back pocket is a copy of each individual student's IEP goals and any other pertinent info I might need at a moment's notice. I had a student with a seizure plan one year, so I kept that handy in his folder in case he had one during speech. Thankfully, I never had to refer to it. 🙂
I find it easiest to nab one of those beautiful teacher gradebooks to use for attendance. I photocopy the pages so I have a set for each quarter. The pages look similar to this:
I have come to love this system. I can easily know who I saw on what day and for how long with a code system I have developed. For each student, I denote G= group, I= individual, A= student absent, CA= clinician absent, CM= clinician in meeting, S=special activity (such as fire drill, field trip, or whatever). Most of my groups are the same duration, so I don't denote that unless it's different for some reason. So, I may denote "I" for individual therapy with my standard time frame, or "I45" to indicate individual therapy for 45 minutes. For clarification, I can refer back to the daily data sheets (from above). At the end of the day, I just zip down the list, and presto, I'm done wth attendance!
Medicaid billing
From this attendance roster, I highlight students that I must bill Medicaid and can zip through my list pretty quick. And bonus, I can tell at a moment's notice how long it is until I have the daunting task of quarterly IEP updates. I start those puppies two weeks out so I can chip away at them and finish in time.
I try to use the same activity for most of my groups all day, although sometimes, depending on what I need to target, I may have something different up my sleeve for a few groups. Then, I just gather the other materials I may need, such as articulation or vocabulary cards, books or other visuals, or any manipulatives necessary. I keep all of that within an arm's reach of where I sit in my room. This year, I share my office, and don't have the luxury of my nice big assessment cabinet by my side like I did last year, so I'll have to use some real estate on my desk.
OK, that was a TON! Thanks for hanging in there till the end! If you have any questions, please comment below. Did I leave something out? Just ask! I'm also interested in your system. What do you do? Do you think it's the best system ever? Let me know! I'm always looking for a way to make the day-to-day operations easier.

Investors fear global economic recovery could falter: BofA
According to the BofA Merrill Lynch fund manager survey for October, investors are concerned that global economic recovery could falter, while emerging market confidence have started to rebuild.
As per the survey, in October, only 54 per cent of investors believed that the global economy will strengthen, while, in September the figure touched as high as 69 per cent.
A net 71 per cent expect the economic growth to remain "below trend" in the coming 12 months' time, up from a net 61 per cent a month ago.
It should be noted that the survey was done from October 4 to October 10 -- the crucial period when the US economy was going through "shutdown" that ended on Wednesday.
"Events in Washington clearly caused investors to shift back towards their benchmarks, but asset price gains can still be driven by high cash levels," BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett said.
The report further said that "investors and asset allocators have increased allocations towards global emerging market equities and have indicated in October's survey that they see value in the region."
A net 38 per cent of the global respondents said that emerging markets equities are the most undervalued of all the regions - in contrast, a net 63 per cent said the US is the most overvalued region.
Moreover, the number of investors who plan to reduce their holding in emerging markets continued to fall, it added.
Expectations for a recovery in corporate profits globally have also fallen. Last month, a net 41 per cent said they expected corporate profits worldwide to improve in the following 12 months - that figure has tumbled to a net 28 per cent in October.
Moreover, a net 18 per cent believe that corporate profit margins will decrease in the coming year, up from a net 11 per cent a month ago.
Meanwhile, however, investors sentiment towards Europe has improved and equity allocation to the region reached a six-year high.
"Global investors' outlook for European corporate profits has continued to rise uninterrupted by events in Washington. It is now at its most positive level since September 2007," the survey said.
A total of 235 panelists with USD 643 billion of assets under management participated in the survey from 4 October to 10 October 2013.

Hey. I don't know what someone will make of this bt it is just something i started a long time ago and thought someone would like. I'm not sure where i want to take it, but if anyone wants to pitch in they are welcome. I think thats the point anyway.
What i was thinking was there is someone with tow souls of a warrior inside tyhem after they are born. Read the thread to understand where i'm coming from.
This maks them a powerful warrior. But i was thinking of turning it into a life journey. Like say the storey starts when the boy, or girl, is 16ish and is sent to train as a warrior of one of the Larger houses.
This means that we can have battles and politics as well as everything else.
I don't want to play the main character but i was thinking more along the lines of a teacher, companion, mentor type person.
It would be nice to get some info back on this. please!!!!

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance
And if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they'll never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
We can go where we want to
The night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat
From our hands to our feet
And surprise 'em with a victory cry
I say, we can act if we want to
If we don't, nobody will
And you can act real rude
And totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile
I say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything is out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's taking the chance
Safety dance
We'll safety dance
Yes, the safety dance
-- "Safety Dance," Men Without Hats
(Someone with a complete or nearly complete 2013 Heritage set will have to crunch the numbers for me.
My theory is that there are more cards of hatless ballplayers in this year's Heritage than there was in the original 1964 set. But all I have to go on is the fact that out of 114 Heritage cards I own so far, 14 feature hatless players. That's just over 12 percent.
In the 1964 set, 35 of the 587 cards in the set featured an individual card of a hatless player -- yes, I counted. That is just shy of 6 percent.
If it turns out the percentages end up the same or that there are fewer capless players in this year's Heritage set then, oh well, at least we relived the '80s for 5 minutes. That's not a bad thing).

If you have an existing sensorineural hearing loss, regardless of the cause, when using ototoxic medications, you are more vulnerable to aggravation of that hearing loss. As a result of using ototoxic medications, the degree of hearing loss that occurs and the amount of recovery that follows depends upon the amount and duration of the use of that particular medication. If you are consuming more than one ototoxic medication, you are even more vulnerable to developing a sensorineural hearing loss or aggravation of your existing sensorineural hearing loss. Some ototoxic medications such as aspirin and aspirin-containing drugs -- regardless of the amount and duration of usage -- when discontinued, result in complete recovery of hearing and cessation of associated symptoms such as tinnitus. Guidelines to Follow In regard to the use of ototoxic medications, whether they are over-the-counter or prescription, there are several important facts you should know and several important rules you should follow: * Always inform your doctor that you have a sensorineural hearing loss or nerve-type hearing loss. * Always ask your doctor, when he is prescribing new medications for you, to inform you of any potential side effects, especially if the medication is ototoxic. * Always read the labels or ask your pharmacist about the potential ototoxic effects of over-the-counter medications. * Always be aware of the early warning signs of ototoxicity. Signs of Ototocity, Listed in Order of Frequency 1. The development of tinnitus (noises in the ears) in one or both ears. 2. The intensification of existing tinnitus or the appearance of another sound that didn't exist before. 3. Fullness or pressure in your ears -- other than being secondary to an upper respiratory infection. 4. The awareness of a hearing loss in an unaffected ear or the progression or fluctuation or an existing loss. 5. The development of vertigo or spinning sensation usually aggravated by motion and may or may not be accompanied by nausea. Should any of these symptoms develop while taking any medication -- stop the medication immediately and call your doctor. Ototoxic Medications Finally, you should be aware of the common ototoxic medications, how they are prescribed, and for what conditions they are given. The following is a simplified list of ototoxic medications and represents the most common drugs. (There are many other medications that have been listed as potentially ototoxic; however, the incidence is insignificant. Consult your physician to be sure.) Keep this list for ready reference. 1. Salicylates - Aspirin and aspirin-containing products * Toxic effects usually appear after consuming an average of 6-8 pills per day. * Toxic effects are always reversible once medications are discontinued. 2. Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) - Advil, Aleve, Anaprox, Clinoril, Feldene, Indocin, Lodine, Motrin, Nalfon, Naprosyn, Nuprin, Poradol, Voltarin * Toxic effects usually appear after consuming an average of 6-8 pills per day. * Toxic effects are usually reversible once medications are discontinued. 3. Antibiotics - Aminoglycosides, Erythromycin, Vancomycin a). Aminoglycosides - Streptomycin, Kanamycin, Neomycin, Gentamycin, Tobramysin, Amikacin, Netilmicin *These medications are ototoxic when used intravenously in serious life threatening situations. The blood levels of these medications are usually monitored to prevent ototoxicity. *Topical preparations and ear drops containing these antibiotics, Neomycin and Gentamycin, have not been demonstrated to be ototoxic in humans. b). Erythromycin - EES, Eryc, E-mycin, Ilosone, Pediazole, and new derivatives of Erythromycin -- Biaxin, Zithromax Erythromycin is usually ototoxic when given intravenously in dosages of 2-4 grams per 24 hours -- especially if there is underlying kidney insufficiency. The usual oral dosage of Erythromycin averaging one gram per 24 hours is not ototoxic. There are no significant reports of ototoxicity with the new Erythromycin derivatives since they are given orally and in lower dosages. c). Vancomycin - Vancocin This antibiotic is used in a similar manner as the aminoglycosides; when given intravenously in serious life- threatening infections, it is potentially ototoxic. It is usually used in conjunction with the aminoglycosides which enhances the possibility of ototoxicity. 4. Loop Diuretics - Lasix, Edecrin, Bumex These medications are usually ototoxic when given intravenously for acute kidney failure or acute hypertension. Rare cases of ototoxicity have been reported when these medications are taken orally in high doses in people with chronic kidney disease. 5. Chemotherapeutic Agents - Cisplatin, Nitrogen Mustard, Vincristine: These medications are ototoxic when given for treatment of cancer. Their ototoxic effects can be minimized by maintaining blood levels of the medications and performing serial audiograms. The ototoxic effects of these medications are enhanced in patients who are already taking other ototoxic medications such as the aminoglycoside antibiotics and the loop diuretics. 6. Quinine - Aralen, Atabrine (for treatment of malaria), Legatrin, Q-Vel Muscle Relaxant (for treatment of night cramps). The ototoxic effects of quinine are very similar to aspirin and the toxic effects are usually reversible once medication is discontinued. Just as you are responsible for your overall health, you are responsible for the preservation of your hearing or the preservation of your existing hearing reserve. Being aware of ototoxic medications and their potential warnings is a good safeguard to protect your hearing -- and a sound investment! Stephen Epstein, M.D., F.A.C.S., is an otologist and a fellow of the American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Inc., and the American College of Surgeons. He is the director of The Ear Center in Wheaton, Maryland. Special Tip for Filling Out Medical Forms One SHHH member reports that when filling out medical questionnaires, she lists ototoxic medications under "known allergies." The invariably results in questions from medical staff, making them more aware of her hearing loss.

Last month, I stopped by a fire station in Salem, Ohio, to thank some of the folks who put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe. Throughout my whole career, I've fought to assure that police and firefighters have the resources to protect our communities—as well as one another. I've made it a habit to thank them at every opportunity I have.
President Obama and I know that when we invest in police officers and firefighters, we're building something that's going to last: safer towns and cities all over the country, and more jobs for the middle class. That's why the President and I have worked to make sure firefighters and police officers have the resources they need to do their jobs as safely as possible—and it's why supporting first responders is a key part of the President's plan to create up to a million new jobs.
For so many Americans, including myself, the debt we all owe to our firefighters and police officers is personal. To these men and women, what they do every day is a job—to the rest of us, it's our lives, our homes, and our families.
So when I hear that Mitt Romney is calling for us to "cut back" on jobs for police officers and firefighters, that tells me one thing: he just doesn't get it. Firing first responders won't grow our economy—it will put our public safety at risk, and make an already tough job even tougher.
We've seen the consequences of these cutbacks before, when Mitt Romney tried to put the same plan in place for Massachusetts. As governor, he slashed local aid, forcing communities to lay off 14,500 local government workers—including police officers and firefighters. He raised fees for police training, and vetoed $2.5 million in funding for fire safety equipment and $1 million for fire education. Both vetoes were overridden unanimously. He also tried to strip union membership from thousands of government employees.
Actions like these aren't just an attack on firefighters and police officers—they're an attack on middle-class, working Americans who deserve better, and their families. It's the interest of these Americans that the President and I are prepared to fight for every day.
The next few months are going to be a tough fight—and we can't do it on our own. Join us by making sure your friends and family know exactly where President Obama and Mitt Romney stand when it comes to keeping our communities safe and supporting first responders—get a conversation started today.

Beautiful blown glass memorial urns are available in vivid colors of cobalt blue and shades purple with designs incorporating flowers, birds, and angels.
Crystal remains as the glass of choice for artistic funerary urns. Decorative facets cut into the glass are highly polished to reflect the light and create an urn that is a stunning work of art. Iridescent and rich luminous shades in every color imaginable make crystal and glass cremation urns a good choice for families that want a timeless piece of artwork to honor their loved one.
Many of the glass styles are available in various sizes ranging from adult to baby or pet. Ashes are usually contained within a bag inside the vessel, however the urn should be stored in a secure place due to the delicate nature.
Evidence of glass blowing dates back to before Christ to the Middle East. Hot glass probably started as a glaze for pottery. Limestone, sand, potash, and soda ash is combined and heated in a super hot furnace at over 2000°F to a molten state, then the art of glass blowing begins. Blown glass vases and art objects are still produced using the ancient techniques. The English modified the properties of glass with lead and this style was considered the finest glass of the 18th century.

Springfield opened the scoring in the 14th minute. The Pride caught Brandeis senior goalkeeper Blake Minchoff (Fiskdale, Mass./Tantasqua Regional) off his line going after a ball and were able to get numbers in the box. Junior midfielder Scott Saucier (Derry, N.H./Pinkerton Acad.) put his initial shot off the left post, but junior midfielder Danny Amato (Newington, Conn./Newington) was there for the rebound into an open net. It was Amato's team-leading fourth goal of the season, while Saucier's assist was his fifth of the campaign.
The Judges equalized 20 minutes later in the 34th minute. Sophomore back Robbie Lynch (Weymouth, Mass./Weymouth) lofted a ball from the defensive end into the Springfield goal box. Junior Steve Salazar (Revere, Mass./Malden Catholic) was able to beat SC rookie goalkeeper Billy Schmid (Wethersfield, Conn./Wethersfield) to the ball and knock it into a wide-open net. Salazar's second goal of the season came less than two minutes after he had taken the field as an injury replacement. The score remained tied at 1-1 the half, with the Judges holding a slim 6-5 edge in shots and a 4-0 lead in corner kicks.
The game-winning goal came just 1:58 into the second half. The play started with service by Lynch to classmate Tyler Savonen (Orleans, Mass./Nauset Regional). Savonen flicked a ball with his head through to the six-yard line to senior midfielder Sam Ocel (No. Attleboro, Mass./No. Attleboro). Ocel's initial shot was saved by Schmid, but junior Kyle Feather (Pinebrook, N.J./Montville Township) was on the spot to blast home his fourth goal of the season. Ocel's assist on the play was his team-leading eight of the season.
The Pride increased their pressure in the final 20 minutes of play, getting off four shots in that span, but Minchoff made a couple of saves to preserve the one-goal lead. Brandeis added a late insurance goal with 22 seconds left in regulation when senior Lee Russo (Westford, Mass./Westford Acad.) took advantage of a bad back-pass by the SC defense to pot his 11th goal of the season.
The Judges finished with a 13-12 edge in shots, including 8-4 in shots on goal, and a 7-1 advantage in corner kicks. Minchoff finished with three saves for the Judges, while Schmid, who made his first collegiate start, had five stops in the losing effort.
Brandeis returns to action next Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. for a non-conference contest with Mount Ida College, while Springfield faces Babson at noon on Saturday in a NEWMAC contest.

The phrase "linked to" is a favourite among the architects of moral panics. Marijuana was linked (back in the day) to black men raping white women. In more recent times, Ecstasy and various other safe drugs have been linked to (mostly invented) deaths. It is a favourite tool of tabloid journalism – claim ice cream is linked to gang violence and – Lo And Behold – it is! Because you just linked it.
In its endless descent into the journalistic gutter, the Guardian has adopted such tools too, such as its recent article Online trolling of women is linked to domestic violence, say campaigners. The Graun is, at least, smart enough to add "say campaigners" to the headline, so that when one points out that the claim is utterly baseless, the editor can respond: "we were just reporting what they said".
This isn't just sloppy journalism. The Guardian has long been militating for increased censorship of the Internet, and since it still maintains the pretence of supporting free speech, it must find online harm at every turn.
The Guardian itself appears to be becoming increasingly censored, especially on anything related to sex. What had originally seemed like the work of a few puritan journalists now seems to be official editorial policy. A series of good journalists have published ludicrously flimsy anti-sex articles. Not being privy to the internal workings of the organisation, I wonder what has been going on at Graun HQ. Does Julie Bindel stand over every journalist's desk with a gun until she or he has produced yet another denunciation of "sexualisation" or "pornification"?
This feeling of a pro-censorship conspiracy is not just speculation: in her book The Sex Myth the sex worker/blogger/author/researcher Brooke Magnanti reveals that, after she won the Guardian's 2003 blogger of the year award, a group of female Guardian journalists jointly threatened to resign if she was offered a column in the newspaper. Her crime was to present her sex work as a choice, and to refuse to label herself a victim, in strict contravention of Guardian editorial policy on sex work.
The Guardian's hatred of any sexual expression is becoming so strong that the normally-PC paper is prepared to stray into the realm of racism where necessary. I've blogged previously about the jaw-dropping 2009 "white man's porn is making black men into rapists" article by Tim Samuels.
Not to be outdone, Hadley Freeman (another once-sane journo who appears to have succumbed to the Curse of Guardian Towers) was enraged by Miley Cyrus's recent twerking episode at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Her rage (of course) is primarily about open displays of sexuality: "she copied the dance moves of strippers" (but I know strippers who dance very well – what's the problem?) and "female celebrities will one day feel that they don't need to imitate porn actors" (all sexual expression is porn, and porn is bad, m'kay?)
Freeman tries to dress up her anti-sex rage as concern about racism, and digs herself a deep hole in the process. She casually drops in the fact that she has lived in the Notting Hill Carnival area for 12 years, which is kind-of like saying "I have black friends, you know". I grew up a couple of miles north of Notting Hill, and while it was once a heavily Caribbean area, it had gentrified long before Freeman moved in.
She appears to be outraged that Cyrus had black backing singers: "a young wealthy woman from the south doing a garish imitation of black music and reducing black dancers to background fodder". They are "fodder" in Freeman's eyes anyway: to me, they are dancing beautifully, as only women of African origin can, and helping distract from the fact that Cyrus can't dance. She refers to the event as a "minstrel show". Other than banning black backing dancers from shows with white lead performers, it's unclear what remedy Freeman would like to see.
She has fallen into the trap awaiting "progressive" middle-class puritans: dance and music originating in sub-Saharan Africa have always been far more overtly sexual than those originating in Europe. The overtness of African sexual expression offends the sensibility of European prudes, just as it offended (and titillated) European colonialists in Africa, who insisted that shameful African nudity was covered up.
Black music now dominates Western popular music forms. Not because (as Freeman suggests) whites are guilty of "cultural appropriation", but simply because it is better, and it has come to dominate the meme-pool. It is hard to imagine what Western music and dance would be like today without African influences.
Freeman, of middle-class Jewish-American roots, educated in English boarding school and then Oxford, did not grow up around black culture. Like many privileged whites who grew up surrounded by privileged whites, she is discomfited by it, and all the Oxford education in the world cannot help her formulate linguistic tricks that adequately hide that fact.
The icing on the cake is that Freeman wraps up her bizarre articulation of dislike for black sexual expression in Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech. King dreamed of a racially mixed world, but Freeman dreams of a world without strippers, porn and black backing dancers. What a sad, decaf, Euro-centric, Guardian-approved world that would be.

#4 Farmingdale State - 7, #5 Neumann - 2
Auburn, N.Y. - Four runs in the bottom of the eighth gave Farmingdale State a 7-2 victory over Neumann University in today's first game of the NCAA Ithaca Regional. The Rams advance into the winner's bracket and will face the winner of #1 Ithaca/#8 Moravian tomorrow at 4:30 p.m., while the Knights will face the loser of that game tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.
After a delayed start, the game went scoreless through four innings. In the first, Neumann had two runners in scoring position with one out, but junior pitcher Michael Dolce (St. James, N.Y.) forced a lineout to second and closed the inning with a strikeout. He struck out the side in the second and allowed just one hit over the next three innings.
In the bottom of the fifth, senior right fielder Terrence Bohonan (Patchogue, N.Y.) led off with a single through the left side. A hit-and-run by senior catcher Eric Wiener (Deer Park, N.Y.) for runners on first and second. After Bohonan was out at third on a sacrifice bunt, the runners moved to second and third on a passed ball.
Senior left fielder David Zilnicki (Riverhead, N.Y.) singled to short to score Wiener for the 1-0 lead. A wild pitch scored Scarlato and Zilnicki hustled over to third. A wild pitch walk scored Zilnicki and the Rams led 3-0.
In the top of the sixth, Neumann loaded the bases on two hits and an error, scoring on the error to make it 3-1. Dolce struck out the 6 and 7 hitters and a groundout to sophomore shortstop Anthony Alvino (Lindenhurst, N.Y.) ended the inning and kept Farmingdale State ahead.
Neumann led of the eighth with a double to left and freshman Alex Weingarten (East Rockaway, N.Y.) came in to relieve Dolce. Dolce allowed seven hits and struck out seven, allowing one earned run and two walks over seven innings. Weingarten allowed two hits and got his team out of another bases loaded situation with a pop-up to short.
In the bottom of the inning, Zilnicki led off with a double down the left field line that hit off the chalk. The third base umpire called it foul, but after a meeting ruled it fair and Zilnicki was awarded the hit. Senior first baseman Ron Remi (Massapequa, N.Y.) moved Zilnicki over to third on a sac bunt and he scored on a wild pitch.
Alvino followed with a walk and stole second, before back-to-back triples by freshman third baseman Jorge Ruiz (Shirley, N.Y.) and freshman designated hitter Dalton McCarthy (Manorville, N.Y.) scored two more runs for Farmingdale State. A single to center by Bohonan would score McCarthy for the fourth run of the inning.
In the ninth, Weingarten allowed just one hit as the Rams took the victory to secure their spot tomorrow in the 4:30 p.m. game.

I didn't kill Allison, says Baden-Clay
Former real estate agent Gerard Baden-Clay has gone under oath to deny murdering his wife, following his surprise decision to give evidence at his trial.
Under questioning by his barrister the 43-year-old denied murdering Allison Baden-Clay and disposing of her body.
"Did you kill Allison?" Michael Byrne QC asked shortly after his client entered the witness box in the Brisbane Supreme Court.
"No I did not," replied Baden-Clay.
"Did you fight with her on the evening of the 19th [April 2012]?" Mr Byrne asked.
"No I did not," he replied.
"Did you at that time leave your children alone in the house to go to Kholo Creek bridge [where his wife's body was found]?"
"Definitely not. Never."
Asked about injuries on his face the morning he reported Allison missing, he replied: "I got them when I was shaving that morning."
Led by Mr Byrne, the father of three gave a detailed account of his early marriage as his relatives and those of Allison watched on.
He remained composed through most of his 90-minute testimony but his voice cracked when describing how they began dating in 1995.
"I fell in love with her pretty well straight away," he said through tears.
"I had had a couple of girlfriends previously but I felt a level of emotional attachment to Allison that was far deeper than I'd ever experienced before."
Baden-Clay said they married in 1997 before travelling through Europe, the Middle East and South America.
It was in South America that his wife began acting strangely after taking the antimalarial drug Lariam.
"Her mood fluctuated from what I would call `normal Al', who is just a lovely, kind, gentle person but with a great sense of humour and a love of life through to some really deep depression," he said.
Things didn't improve with the birth of their first daughter in 2001 and Allison suffered severe panic attacks.
"To be perfectly candid with you it came to a point where I was doing 80 to 90 to 95 to nearly 100 per cent...I was doing everything."
Allison miscarried in 2002, then fell pregnant again in 2003, when Baden-Clay said she saw a psychiatrist and was prescribed the anti-depressant Zoloft.
She then had fewer episodes of anxiety, he said.
But as his real estate business boomed his love life was non-existent and he formed a physical relationship with staff member Toni McHugh, the court was told.
"Gerard doesn't shrink from this, he won't say he was ever proud of it," Mr Byrne said.
"After the relationship and the problems that had been present with Allison, he found himself being flattered, being appreciated and acknowledged."
Mr Byrne said his client "enjoyed the physical relationship" with Ms McHugh but never wanted to leave his wife and children.
The court was adjourned until Monday when the accused is expected to resume giving evidence.
The defence will also call a forensic psychiatrist and a forensic toxicologist, and show time-lapse video of the flow in Kholo Creek to support its case.
Allison Baden-Clay's body was found on the banks of the creek at Anstead in Brisbane's west on April 30, 2012.
The discovery was made 10 days after her husband reported her missing from their home in nearby Brookfield.
