Mary Marvel was created by Otto Binder and Marc Swayze, who based the character on the actress Judy Garland. She made her first appearance in Captain Marvel Adventures issue #18, published by Fawcett Comics in 1942.
Mary Marvel is part of the Marvel Family, who are friends and family of Captain Marvel. Mary Marvel is the alter-ego of Mary Batson whose adopted name is Mary Bromfield. She is the teenage twin sister of Billy Batson, whose alter-ego is Captain Marvel. Like her brother, Mary has also been granted superpowers by the wizard known as Shazam.
Mary Marvel was one of the first female spin-offs of a superhero, predating Superman's female cousin Supergirl, who was also created by Otto Binder, by over ten years.
In 1953, following on from the copyright infringement lawsuit brought by National Comics (later DC Comics), the Marvel family were shelved. In 1972, after a licensing deal, DC Comics relaunched the Marvel Family in a new series titled Shazam! the last issue of which was in 1978. Since that time the character has appeared in a variety of publications.

The Fresh Start Program
Been in financial services industry for many years and have been exposed to financial crisis and uncertainty on many levels both personally and professionally.
I am a financial educator and strategist who's core focus is to break the chains of consumerism, credit, debt and poor behaviors around money by creating a new foundation for financial success.
The Fresh Star Program is my effort to bring all the needed resources together in one place to serve families in need.
The personality of the program is as the name implies...this is a place where a fresh start is possible for all, no matter what got you here, we can help you get a Fresh Start! It should lift people up, images of hope and prospertiy should come to mind as soon as you see the logo and associated colors/shapes etc.
Families that are searching the web for resources to help them, existing financial client base, as well as a word of mouth viral component. This is why it needs to be "Fresh" and captivating on first glance, and not something static and uninviting.
Financial hardship (all cases) that need assistance.
I have a small team building on Wordpress my back end web presence, which will be the focal point of ALL people involved with the program.
They are self admittedly short on "graphical talent" and recommended this site specifically because you are all great designers and that you are capable of amazing design!
I need a new identity (logo) with appropriate colors that they can key in on for the rest of the site background. Anything too neon or that will show up poor/wash out in a web based graphic will really be difficult for me to accept.
I am high visual, so appreciate quality and am hopeful that you can come up with something that allows people to see your image and at once feel lifted, happy and as if they found the right place they have been looking for. The team will work with what you give us to build the rest of the site around YOUR work.
I am wide open to interpretation within the confines of my target audience and the program itself and would offer anything that speaks to "clean" or "fresh", even in the form of water elements or something that has an annimated feel to it. You are the master!

Discovery Channel Delves Into the Subconscious World of Attraction in "SCIENCE OF SEX APPEAL"
-- Premiering, February 8 at 9 PM (ET/PT) --
January 9, 2009
(Los Angeles, Ca.) SCIENCE OF SEX APPEAL delves into our deepest subconscious processes and lays them out in shocking and specific detail. Is sex appeal just a matter of taste, or a biological equation waiting to be solved? SCIENCE OF SEX APPEAL, premiering Sunday, February 8 at 9 pm (ET/PT) isolates every detail of human sex appeal and explores what is genetic, hormonal and neurological. What is based on sight, smell and on small, subtle cues like voice and movement? You'll never look at a stranger, your loved one or yourself in quite the same way again.
Scientists used to think that mate preferences were completely arbitrary, but recent studies suggest that there are certain non conscious factors such as sound and smell over which humans have no control that attract people to each other. Scientists wanted to test whether copulance, a natural secretion that women emit to attract men, really affected a man's level of attraction to a woman. So they asked men to rate a group of women in photographs on attractiveness. But when the men were unknowingly given artificial copulance and asked to rate the women, they were unable to distinguish which women were attractive.
In nightclubs across the world, an invisible biochemical war is going on. Men secrete androstenone, which repels women who are not ovulating, while women shoot back with copulance, which makes men find all of them sexy. Could copulance be a hidden weapon in the armory of attraction?
SCIENCE OF SEX APPEAL is produced for Discovery Channel by The Incubator; Simon Andreae and James Younger are executive producers. For Discovery Channel, Susan Winslow is executive producer.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College women's basketball team (15-8, 8-8 PBC) played even ball for the first half before falling to Clayton State University (18-5, 13-3 PBC), 72-59 Wednesday at the Centennial Center. Junior Enisha Donley (Loganville, Ga.) led the team and matched a career-high in points she set Monday against this same Lakers team.
Donley scored 26 points for the second time in the last three days, but didn't have a supporting cast to finish off West first-place Clayton State, who have won their last 10 games. Freshman LaRice Walker (Franklin, Ga.) just missed her first double-double, leading the Bobcats in rebounds with nine while adding 16 points.
"Our execution was off tonight," said head coach Maurice Smith. "Credit Clayton, they really smothered us on the defensive side."
Only four Bobcats scored from the floor with senior Brandi McKinney (Cincinnati) accounting for seven points and junior Shanteona Keys (Roswell, Ga.) adding nine to round out the Georgia College scoring.
The Lakers got out to a double-digit lead about midway through the first half 23-12, but the Bobcats responded with a 13-4 run to get within a bucket at 27-25. A three-point shot by Walker at the buzzer brought the teams even at 33 at the break.
Georgia College took its first lead since the opening minutes of the game when Keys hit a free throw almost two minutes into the second. The teams would play even ball for the first five minutes of the second half with three ties before Clayton State would pull away with a 12-3 run and a 12-point lead. The Lakers were able to maintain a double-digit lead almost the entire time after that until the final horn.
The Bobcats were out-shot from the floor 46-30 percent, and from beyond the arc 33-10 percent. Georgia College had the edge from the free-throw line 70-67 percent, hitting 26-of-37 shots.
The Lakers were led by Bena Hanyard's 28 points, while Tweety Hawkins added 13. Andrea Benford had a game-high 10 rebounds.
Georgia College moves to 8-8 in conference play, remaining in fifth in a tough Peach Belt Conference West Division. The top four in the division advance to the PBC Tournament in March.
The Bobcats will next travel to the University of Montevallo Saturday, Feb. 22 for a PBC tilt starting at 2:30 p.m.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Torbreck the Factor 2004
Torbreck Vintners:

Torbreck Vintners was founded by David Powell in 1994. The roots go back to 1992 when Dave, who was then working at Rockford, began to discover and clean up a few sections of dry-grown old vines. Near lifeless, he nurtured them back to health and was rewarded with small parcels of fruit that he made into wine. Dave was able to secure a contract for the supply of grapes from a run-down but ancient Shiraz vineyard. He managed to raise enough money to share-farm the vineyard, a practice which involves paying the owner a percentage of the market rate for his grapes in return for totally managing the vineyard. This share-farming principle has enabled Torbreck to use fruit from the very best vineyards in the Barossa Valley, which is home to some of the most precious old vines in the world. In 1995 Dave crushed three tonnes of grapes and fermented them into wine in a shed on his 12-hectare Marananga property. He named his wine 'Torbreck' after a forest in Scotland where he worked as a lumberjack. The Torbreck endeavour is based around the classic Barossa Valley varietals of Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro, and a love for the wines of France's Rhone Valley. Dave loves the intense, rich, Rhone-like flavours that come from old-vines and the fact that Shiraz and Grenache are the mainstay red grapes of the Northern and Southern Rhone often draws comparison. Torbreck doesn't only make red wines though, we have Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne planted on our winery block which we have blended to make a white wine for the last 2 years. In July 2002 the historic Hillside property was acquired by Torbreck. Situated in Lyndoch, it is one of the original Barossa properties. Vast and picturesque it contains some magnificent old and ancient vineyards that will further our source of premium quality fruit. The Hillside property contains a wonderful native ecosystem that supports a myriad of flora and fauna. Dave hopes to turn it into a nature reserve in the future that will be open to visits. In June 2003 at the finish of vintage, we opened our cellar-door for sales. An original settlers hut, it has been lovingly restored and provides a personal touch and some Barossa warmth whilst you taste our wines. It is open daily and we welcome any visits. In the middle of 2008 a long term vision of Dave Powell's will reach completion. A new winery and administration facility will have been completed on land acquired from a next door neighbour. This will enable our grapes to be made into wine using the best availble equipment and then bottled 'on the estate' using our own bottling line. Finally we have complete control of all aspects of production which will see a new benchmark of wine quality established by us in the Barossa Valley. Read less

TORONTO -- Three National Basketball Association players, including Boston Celtics star Gary Payton, are due to appear in a Canadian court on Monday to face assault charges stemming from an incident outside a Toronto strip club, according to court documents obtained by Reuters on Wednesday.
In April 2003, Payton, along with then teammates Sam Cassell and Jason Caffey, were charged after an altercation with one of the downtown club's dancers, her husband and the club's security guard.
The three men, who played for the Milwaukee Bucks at the time of the incident, were in town for a game against the Toronto Raptors.
Payton, who is represented by high-profile lawyer Brian Greenspan, is charged with one count of aggravated assault causing bodily harm, and two counts of simple assault.
Cassell, who now plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves, is charged with two counts of simple assault, while Caffey, a free agent, faces one count of simple assault.
Court proceedings are scheduled for July 4, 6, 7 and 8 in an Ontario Provincial Criminal Court.
Payton could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted on an indictable offense, while Cassell and Caffey could face an 18-month prison term.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Most U.S. stocks closed fractionally higher Wednesday, while blue chips declined, as positive market momentum mixed with investor anticipation of an overdue correction.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.21% fell 35.79 points, or 0.3%, to close at 13,982.81, below its five-year closing high of 14,018.70 on Tuesday.
Shares of fast-food giant McDonald's Corp. MCD, -1.29% were a significant drag on the price-weighted index. Shares dropped 1.2% to $94.00. While there was some speculation that a call from President Barack Obama to raise the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour from $7.25 weighed on McDonald's shares, analysts generally dismissed it as being a factor. Read more on McDonald's weighing on the Dow.
General Electric Co. GE, +4.14% was the biggest gainer on the Dow, with shares up 3.6% to $23.39, following an announcement it would sell the rest of its stake in NBCUniversal for $16.7 billion to Comcast Corp. CMCSA, +2.36%. Comcast, which closed up 3%, and GE were among the top gainers in the S&P 500. Read: Comcast to buy out GE's stake in NBCUniversal.
Following a 6% run-up in markets in January, stocks over the past week have traded mostly sideways, as investors anticipate some sort of correction.
The intraday high-low spread on the Dow over the previous 13 trading days is the tightest it has been in 25 years, according to Bespoke Investment Group. Over the past 13 days, the difference between the Dow's intraday high and low has been 1.35%, the lowest spread since December 1986, Bespoke said. The spread on the Dow Wednesday was 0.6%. Read more on Bespoke chart showing Dow flatness.
The investors who are most looking for a pullback are likely the ones who missed out on the December-January rally following a surprisingly positive earnings season, said Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets.
"It's really important to say that people looking for a pullback are the ones who missed the move [up] in the first place," Belski said. "It's increasingly dangerous to be diagnosing short-term market moves."
The S&P 500 index SPX, +1.09%, which fluctuated between slight gains and losses during the session, finished up 0.90 point, or less than 0.1%, to 1,520.33. The index touched an earlier intraday high of 1,524.69, with financials and telecom stocks the biggest losers and industrials and materials the leading gainers among the 10 major industry groups.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +1.34%, the strongest index on the day, gained 10.38 points, or 0.3%, to close at 3,196.88. The Nasdaq index touched an intraday high 3,205.52 earlier.
Whether market momentum will continue or result in a selloff is hard to predict. Much of the smart money has boosted long positions into equities lately, according to a recent report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Read more on hedge-fund long positions in the S&P 500.
"You're seeing lots of macro hedge funds more allocated toward stocks," said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management Group.
While investors who missed out on the rally may be the ones hoping for a pullback, the fact that a pullback hasn't happened in a while is difficult to ignore.
According to Stone, the broader stock market has gone 60 trading days without a 5% pullback, and 342 trading days without a 10% pullback. That's compared with an average 49 trading days for a 5% pullback, and 161 trading days for a 10% pullback, using data going back to the 1920s, Stone said.

Objectives - Why this project and for whom?
Surveying border controls
Over 300 million persons, including European Union citizens and third-country nationals cross the external borders of the EU every year. The Schengen Borders Code stresses that EU citizens and persons enjoying freedom of movement in the Union, such as family members of EU citizens, should be subject to minimum border checks. By contrast, third-country nationals must be subject to thorough checks which include purpose of stay, means of subsistence during the stay as well as verification in databases.
According to the Schengen Borders Code, border guards shall perform their duties fully respecting human dignity. Purpose of the project will be to examine how border guard officers deal with the challenge of ensuring that border checks are undertaken with the necessary degree of scrutiny without causing undue delays or resorting to inappropriate treatment.
Details - What does the project involve?
Primary information will be collected from third-country nationals as well as EU citizens crossing the external borders of the EU in order to shed light on their perceptions of the way they were treated. In addition, the views as well as challenges of border guards will be gathered using various research methodologies, according to the degree of access that researchers will be provided.
Data collection will be carried out in selected entry points into the EU focusing on those with the highest numbers of passenger flows.
Innovation - What's 'new' about the project?
This project will use innovative research methodologies in order to collect information on the conduct of border checks. The project will be implemented in collaboration with the EU agency coordinating the operational cooperation between Member States in the field of border security, Frontex, as well as with the national authorities in charge of border controls. Research activities will include passenger surveys as well as different ways to collect the experiences of border guards.
Outputs - What will the project deliver?
The report will identify possible shortcomings as well as good practices in the way border checks are conducted at the main entry points into the European Union (land and air borders). A comparative report will seek to assist policymakers and practitioners to enhance the quality of border checks at crossing points.
Related Information
The Schengen Borders Code emphasises that border checks should be carried out in full respect of human dignity and in line with the Charter of Fundamental Rights, and the principle of non-refoulement. Therefore, the FRA 2010 Work Programme envisages a project on the fundamental rights situation of third-country nationals at external EU borders (see Work Programme 2010, section 2.1). A further FRA research project will focus on the treatment of migrants at sea and immediately on arrival at EU territory.

Ever since the untimely death of actor and car enthusiast Paul Walker, tribute car shows have been taking place to show their respect. But one in Scotland this weekend ended with a simply gigantic car fire.
The car meet, which occurred in Scotland, ended with the car fire around 10 PM on Saturday. Reportedly the fire started after a 19-year old driver revved the engine of his Ford Focus for 20 straight minutes "in tribute."
Doesn't seem he knows what tribute means.
Was the 19 year old charged with anything? You better believe it. Cops charged him with reckless conduct after starting the fire.
It's great to gather to remember Mr. Walker, but let's remember that he was a car fanatic, not a man who was trying to destroy every car he was in.

Acorn squash are still really cheap and after the success of the roasted acorn squash with green tomato and jalapeno jam I just had to try roasting some more of them. This time I wanted to try a sweet filling rather than a savoury one and since I already had maple in my meal, continuing the theme with a maple filling sounded perfect. This recipe is deceptively simple for how good the end results are. I filled the acorn squash halves with some maple syrup and a touch of butter and then I let the slow roasting in the oven do the rest of the work. The maple flavour went so well with the sweet roasted acorn squash and if you are a fan of maple syrup like me then these will disappear quickly! I served the maple roasted acorn squash with the bacon wrapped maple roast pork and they went really well together. Though I served them sliced with the meal the first night, I scooped all of the remaining squash and maple filling from the leftovers and turned them into maple mashed acorn squash. The maple mashed squash leftovers were even better the next day!
Maple Roasted Acorn Squash
- 2 acorn squash (cut in half and scooped clean)
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Place the acorn squash halves in a baking pan with the cut sides up.
- Place 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and 1/2 tablespoon butter into each acorn squash half.

A 400-year-old "witch's cottage" complete with a mummified cat was unearthed by British engineers excavating a grass-covered mound.
Archaeologists were called to the construction project in Lancashire after the cottage was discovered, according to the BBC. Experts believe the the well-preserved cottage may have belonged to one of the Pendle witches.
The mummified cat was found embedded in a brick wall, where it may have been buried alive to ward off evil spirits.
Carl Sanders, United Utilities' project manager, said: "It's not often you come across a fairytale cottage complete with witch's cat.
"The building is in remarkable condition," Carl Sanders, manager of the utilities project that necessitated the digging, told the BBC. "You can walk through it and get a real sense that you're peering into the past."
The area around the cottage, Pendle Hill, is known as witch country for a spate of witch trials that took place during the 17th century.
Simon Entwistle, an expert on the Pendle witches compared the discovery to finding the tomb of King Tut.
"We are just a few months away from the 400th anniversary of the Pendle witch trials, and here we have an incredibly rare find, right in the heart of witching country," he said. "This could well be the famous Malkin Tower - which has been a source of speculation and rumor for centuries."
The building also contains a 19th Century kitchen range, Victorian crockery, a tin bath and a bedstead from its later years.

3 Baby Sleep Strategies
by Stephanie Triplett and Sara Ellington
Two moms explain different side of the top 3 baby sleep strategies
It's time to give the sleep wars — cry it out vs. soothe to sleep, co-sleeping vs. crib sleeping, etc. — a rest. Two moms (and best friends) show how vastly different snooze strategies can have the same result: a well-rested family.
Stephanie Triplett is a mom of two in Atlanta. She loved breastfeeding, she returned to her career in marketing after maternity leave, and she co-slept with her babies for years. Sara Ellington is also a mom of two who lives in Charlotte, NC. She decided breastfeeding wasn't for her, gave up her job as an advertising copywriter to be a SAHM, and put her kids to sleep in their own cribs. Though these two women agree on almost nothing when it comes to parenting, they're best friends. They even wrote a book together, The Must-Have Mom Manual. So they're the perfect pair to prove that different strokes work for different folks when it comes to how and where your baby sleeps. Because in the end, we all want the same thing: a little shut-eye for everyone. Here, Stephanie and Sara share what worked for them.
Cry it out vs. Soothe to sleep
STEPHANIE: My husband and I tried letting our daughter, Sara, now 9, cry it out once when she was a baby. It was agonizing: She cried for so long and worked herself into such a tizzy that she eventually threw up all over the crib. That's when I (literally) threw the parenting book I was trying to follow into the trash can and decided to do whatever was going to allow both of us to get some sleep. As a working mom, I was away from my baby five days a week. Cuddling with her and nursing her to sleep at night was the perfect solution. We both fell asleep quickly and easily and got some much-needed time to snuggle and reconnect.
SARA: If you'd asked me when I was pregnant with my first child if I'd let her cry it out, I would have gotten on my high horse and said "Of course not!" My vision was to rock my baby to sleep, gently place her in her crib, and tiptoe out of the room. But I soon realized that my vision was a fantasy, not the reality of motherhood. No matter how hard I tried, sometimes my baby girl (Anna, now 9) would not fall asleep, despite the fact that her tummy was full, her diaper was dry, and it was the middle of the night. Then my husband and I read Touchpoints, by T. Berry Brazelton, M.D. His theory is that if you always respond immediately when your baby wakes up, she won't learn to get back to sleep on her own without help from Mom or Dad. It made sense to us, so we decided to try (wince) sleep training. It was difficult, I'll admit. It's not pleasant to listen to your baby wail. But I'd check on her every five to ten minutes — which felt like an eternity — and rub her back (but never pick her up). And you know what? Within half an hour, she was asleep. The next night, she was asleep in about 15 minutes. It didn't take long at all before she was a much better sleeper and could fall asleep quickly on her own. Aah.
What you need to know, no matter what you choose:
Don't attempt any sleep-training method before 4 months (it's important to respond quickly to newborns). And rule out other causes of tears (fever, a dirty diaper, pain) before letting your tot cry for any length of time. Some parents prefer to go cold turkey (letting your child cry on his own until he conks out). But most experts prefer a gradual approach: Soothing every five minutes at first, then increasing the interval time each night. Check out the methods developed by Richard Ferber, M.D., or Kim West (aka "The Sleep Lady").
Co-sleeping vs. Crib sleeping
STEPHANIE: I started co-sleeping with Sara the day she was born. She was in the little plastic bassinet on the opposite side of my hospital room, and she was crying nonstop. The nurse suggested that I put her in bed with me, that my body heat would calm her. It worked — and it stuck. I adored sleeping with her, and it made nursing much easier because she could simply latch on and we both drifted back to sleep. I actually kept our co-sleeping a secret, though, because I thought I would be judged as a "bad mom" for starting a supposedly bad habit. But then I picked up William Sears, M.D.'s The Baby Book. He teaches that co-sleeping is the norm in many countries and can be beneficial for both mother and child if you do it safely (see guidelines below). That's why I tell new moms to read all you can, but keep in mind that you won't know what truly works for you until you try it.
SARA: I worked harder than I ever have those first few months after my daughter was born. At the end of the day, I needed a break. I think having my baby in the bed with me at night would have sent me right over the edge. Yet I totally realized why it worked for Stephanie, who was pining to be with her daughter while she was at work. And she understood how I needed time away from the rigors of being an at-home mom. This was one of our first "aha moments" as friends. What worked for me wouldn't have worked for her, and vice versa. And that was okay. We didn't realize at the time that motherhood would lead us down completely different paths, but we'd established a precedent of mutual respect, which I think has enabled us both to trust our own instincts as mothers through the years.
What you need to know, no matter what you choose:
Bed sharing has been linked with a higher incidence of sudden infant death syndrome (sids). The American Academy of Pediatrics says the safest place for a baby to sleep, to reduce the SIDS risk, is in a separate sleep space (co-sleeper, crib, or bassinet) next to the parent's bed. But if you decide to bed share, follow these precautions:
Don't sleep with your baby on a couch, inflatable mattress, or water bed.
Push your bed tightly against a wall and remove or lock leg wheels if your bed has them. Place your baby to sleep between you and the wall, rather than between two people.
Remove pillows, sheets, and blankets that could cover your baby's head.
Do not sleep with your baby if you have been drinking alcohol; if you are under the influence of a drug that might make you overly tired; if you are obese; if you smoke.
Never leave her alone in an adult bed.
Rigid nap schedule vs. Go with the flow
STEPHANIE: The fact of the matter is, your children are going to make this decision for you, and each child may turn out to be completely different in his or her need for napping. I tried to keep my kids on a schedule, but it's hard to plan your entire life around your child's naptime. I know moms who did, but I always thought they were insane to center their entire life around their 2-year-old's afternoon nap. Sure, if we were at home, we tried to keep naptime consistent. But when my second child (Timmy, now 8) came along and I began working from home, I was a mom on the move. We'd visit the petting zoo and the aquarium, and my kids would fall asleep in their stroller or car seat when they got tired. I was also fortunate enough to have babies who could be moved from car seat to bed without waking up.
My daughter was done with naps by the time she was 18 months old. Timmy (to my dismay) stopped napping at age 1. I realized my job as a mom was to be flexible and recognize that what works at 12 months may not work at 15 months.
SARA: During the first few months after my daughter was born, I tried to stick to a sleep-wake-feed-play schedule every few hours. It gave my day some order and provided me a little sanity knowing I could (hopefully) count on certain naptimes. But I wasn't particularly picky about where she slept-she could nod off in a car seat or a stroller — if we were out and about. By the time my daughter was 1, she was taking a two-hour nap each day and sleeping for nearly 12 hours a night. I was sure I had this whole sleep thing mastered. But then I had Cade, now 6. He wouldn't sleep in his car seat like Anna did; he had to be in his crib. So I became one of those moms I used to secretly chuckle at — "I've gotta go! It's almost Cade's naptime!" Soon he wouldn't go down until late afternoon, and then I couldn't get him to sleep at night. I'd force him to stay awake all day in order to get him to bed at night. It wasn't pretty, but eventually that phase passed. Stephanie always says, "Change is the only constant." It's so true. Whether you're in the stage of little sleep, feeling like you are being held hostage by an infant tyrant, or enjoying 12 straight hours of snooze a night, remember: This too shall pass.
What you need to know, no matter what you choose:
Not much! Though some experts say the snooze time a kid gets on the go is not as "quality"as the shut-eye he gets in his crib, only you can judge whether or not your tot is tired. Keep in mind, though, that infants thrive on routine. So if you're going to do on-the-fly naps, build in that routine elsewhere (meals and snacks at the same time every day, for example, or a strict bedtime protocol).

When it comes to long road trip, nothing beats a spacious camper. Whenever you hit the road for a long trip, it's important to have your RV packed with correct supplies to make your vacation enjoyable. It's also important that your camper is equipped with the right RV accessories. Sears has a large selection of high-grade RV and camping accessories to keep you prepared at almost any campground. We also have plenty of equipment to help you get easy access in and out of your camper.
Not everyone has the capacity to store an RV in their home's garage. If you keep yours parked out on the driveway, consider having a durable RV camper cover to keep it protected whenever it's idle. Having your RV exposed to moisture, excessive sunlight and other elements can cause its metal body panels to wear quickly. Sears carries covers to help protect your investment. We also have covers to shield your other equipment for the trip, including boats, grills and ATVs.
If you have a large RV, access can sometime be tricky. Make sure your big camper is fixed with sturdy RV accessories to make getting in and out as easy as possible. If you're a bit shorter, RV steps and hand rails can create the proper support you need when exiting or entering the camper. In order to keep the interior spacious, most RVs have roof racks and carriers to store all your gear. Sears has a large selection of RV ladders so you can safely grab your camping equipment at any time.
No matter how many precautious measures you take, accidents can still happen. Your camper should also have RV accessories to prepare you for almost any emergency. An RV requires special kinds of jacks and leveler kits to keep it properly raised whenever you need to change a flat tire. It's important that your camper always has a spare RV tire ready. A spare tire can typically be attached to the undercarriage or mounted to a carrier on the back of the camper.
Whether it's for a camping trip or a long road trip across the country, you need to have the right supplies for your RV. From steps to emergency equipment, Sears has the high-quality RV accessories for any size camper.

Names with History and Weight
I was talking with my daughter, Phoebe, about why we chose her name the other day. All the reasons we loved it came back to the forefront-she's mythological! she's Biblical! she's Shakesperean! she's Salinger-ian!- she's a moon! she's a bird!-No wonder she stood head and shoulders above the rest when she chose her. But I feel like, when the time comes to name another daughter (hopefully very soon!) I want a name with as much meaning and history. What other names can you think of that stand up to Phoebe?

Susanna(h) - flower, Biblical, a lily in Biblical Hebrew and a rose in modern Hebrew, and a name Shakespeare named his daughter. Susie is cute but Susannah is timeless.
Elizabeth - Biblical, royal, historic weight, a variety of nicknames to suit any personality, never trendy, always classic, array of namesakes stretching back thousands of years.
Minerva/Athena - A goddess of wisdom, of war and craft, a wise woman. Associated with owls. At the moment I am favouring Minerva but I reserve the right to change my mind. Wikipedia quote: "goddess of poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, weaving, crafts, magic.[1] She is often depicted with her sacred creature, an owl usually named as the "owl of Minerva"[2], which symbolizes her ties to wisdom."
Iris - Flower, both a highly specialized delicate garden flower and a hardy roadside wildflower depending on variety. More colours than any rose or lily. Named after a messenger goddess; the goddess of rainbows. Some say the fleur de lis of France is an iris; others hold that it is the lily. Iris on wikipedia: "is the personification of the rainbow and messenger of the gods. She is also known as one of the goddesses of the sea and the sky. Iris links the gods to humanity. She travels with the speed of wind from one end of the world to the other,[1] and into the depths of the sea and the underworld."

I very much like the previous suggestions of Beatrice, Iris and Minerva. Others:
Mary - Pretty much the quintessential "history and weight" name! You don't get to be the most popular name in the world for 400 years without that. Biblical of course, but also royal and literary, tons of great namesakes. Miriam (the original Hebrew) or Maria (the Spanish) each have their own individual charm with the same pedigree.
Katarina - Of course Katherine in all forms is classic, but this one may have the most of what you're looking for. You have the Shakespearean Katharina, as well as Catherine the Great (Yekaterina in Russian). Matches well stylistically with Phoebe, I think.
Diana - Roman goddess and British princess, as well as Shakespearean character and many others.
Esther - Biblical queen, and derivative Hester was, of course, used by Hawthorne.

All the suggestions so far are great ones (I particularly love Beatrice, Iris, and Esther). Helen (and all variations) is name that I think falls into this category (the most beautiful woman in the world, "the face that launched a thousand ships"), as well as Josephine (Biblical and historical--I think of Empress Josephine, wife of Napoleon). There are so many, but those are a couple of my favorites.

Morgan/Morgana (people don't give her enough credit)
Elaine/Elena (Lady of the Lake/possibly the Lady of Shallott)
Vivienne/Viviane (another name for the Lady of the Lake)
Ophelia (Hamlet)
Portia (The Merchant of Venice)
Helena (Midsummer Night's Dream)
Rosalind (As You Like It--which, by the way, has a character with a name very similar to Phoebe)
Isolde (Tristan and Isolde)
Viola (The Twelfth Night)
Thisbe (The myth Pyramus and Thisbe, a sort of pre-Romeo and Juliet)
Gwen (short for Guinevere, which is much prettier than people give it credit for)

Getting , please wait.
|Out-of-work security guard Sam Baily (Travolta) goes postal, taking hostages in a museum while has-been journalist Max Brackett (Hoffman) manages to exploit Baily and hype the situation into a massive broadcast news event. The media circus that ensues provides social commentary on the questionable state of journalism. Drawing from famously explored material in numerous older films ("Network" and "All the President's Men") the subject is also enjoying a revival in current films ("Primary Colors" and "Wag the Dog"). Relationship between Max and Sam carries most interest in Costa-Gravas' intense drama, while uneven tone and script inadequacies hold back satisfying story development. Talented supporting cast (Alda, Danner, Kirshner, Prosky) have little to do.
|Directed by:
|Constantin Costa-Gavras
|Anne Kopelson, Arnold Kopelson, Wolfgang Glattes, Jonathan D. Krane, Punch Productions, Warner Bros.

Pioneers sweep Seawolves
Quick recap and then I'm calling it a night. Pioneers go from a 1-0 deficit to a 3-1 lead in the final four minutes of the first period, then survive a second-period Alaska-Anchorage barrage after captain Kyle Ostrow made it 4-1 early in the frame. Freshman goalie Sam Brittain was really good in the second and improved to 11-4-5 with the 5-1 win. Freshman Jason Zucker scored the final goal, his team-high 17th.
Pios take next week off before beginning a home-and-home series with CC on Feb. 4.

Ending the Backlog
Ending the rape kit backlog will take a coordinated effort and deep commitment at all levels of our government and in communities across the country. Elected officials must ensure that sufficient funding is dedicated not only to processing untested rape kits, but also to investigating leads and moving cases forward to prosecution. They must require law enforcement to keep track of every kit booked into evidence and to make information about backlog numbers public. They must allocate the resources—money, staff, time and technology—to make these reforms happen.
Law enforcement must commit to giving sexual assault survivors greater access to justice by testing every rape kit and treating rape as seriously as any other crime. They must investigate rape cases thoroughly and pursue leads resulting from rape kit testing. They must believe survivors and honor their courageous decision to report the assault and undergo the rape kit collection process.
We all must get involved and become educated about what our communities are doing to bring healing and justice to survivors.
In this section, learn about how individuals and entities are making progress toward ending the backlog:

After rolling through the first two innings, Jenrry Mejia lost his command in the third inning when allowed three walks and four runs. The first scored on a bases-loaded walk, and the next three on a bases loaded triple.
His final line: 6 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 4 BB, 3 K. He threw 65% of his pitches (57 of 88) for strikes. He induced eight groundouts.
The results were not great, but altogether, I thought it was an impressive night for Mejia. His sinker, when it was down picked up grounder after grounder. The Bisons' broadcast crew repeatedly mentioned his 95 mph velocity. His curveball had bite. I thought a few of the more hard-hit against him were on changeups, but it was hard to tell on my computer screen.
The Bisons have six games remaining, so the Mets could have Mejia make one more start in AAA. He's up to 86.2 innings this year after 28.1 last year in a season lost to Tommy John surgery. In 2011, he threw 81.1 innings between the big leagues and the minors. I would like to see the Mets give Mejia another start in AAA and then a few turns through the big league rotation.

Stormy October surprise scrambles tight race for the White House
LAND O'LAKES, Fla. (AP) � Steering clear of the superstorm bearing down on the East Coast, Republican Mitt Romney returns to battleground Ohio to woo voters nine days before the election.
The GOP presidential hopeful had planned to campaign Sunday in Virginia, but will instead join running mate Paul Ryan in Ohio. The weather threat also left President Barack Obama's campaign schedule in flux.
The storm presents both sides with a most unlikely October surprise as polls continue to show an extraordinarily tight race.
Hurricane Sandy has each camp discarding carefully mapped-out itineraries as they work to maximize voter turnout while avoiding any appearance of putting politics ahead of public safety.
Romney campaigned Saturday in Florida while Obama worked to nail down New Hampshire's four electoral votes.
Obama plans to fly to Florida late Sunday.

RIO DE JANEIRO (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – The United Nations urged the Brazilian government to investigate the killings of inmates at the Pedrinhas Penitentiary Complex in northeastern Maranhão state after a video surfaced this week showing the decapitated bodies of three prisoners.
The U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed concern at the "dire state" of prisons in Brazil, and called on authorities to take immediate action to restore order at Pedrinhas and in other prisons in Brazil, to reduce overcrowding and "provide dignified conditions for those deprived of liberty", according to a Jan. 8 statement.
A video allegedly recorded on Dec. 17, and posted on the website of Brazilian daily Folha de S. Paulo on Jan. 7, showed gory scenes of inmates posing with the bodies and detached heads of three fellow prisoners. Sindispem, a prison-workers' union in Maranhão state, said it sent the video to the newspaper to draw attention to human rights violations happening inside the prison and the lack of investment by the state government.
"The grisly crimes caught on camera are part of a broader problem of uncontrolled violence in Maranhão's prisons," Maria Laura Canineu, Brazil director at Human Rights Watch, said in a statement. "The state urgently needs to investigate these crimes, restore order in the prisons, and ensure the inmates' safety."
Since January 2013, at least 62 inmates have been killed at Pedrinhas complex, which has a capacity for 1,700 prisoners but currently houses 2,500 men, according to Brazil's National Justice Council (CNJ).
Council Judge Douglas Martins on Dec. 20 inspected the prison and reported that female visitors were often raped by inmates of rival gangs. The lack of space forced wives to meet their husbands in open pavilions during conjugal visits, where they were attacked by other prisoners, according to the judge's report. Other inmates offered sexual favors by their own female family members to the leaders of gangs as a way to guarantee protection inside the jail, the report added.
Roseana Sarney, the state governor, said this week the judge's report is "full of lies" and is being used to "discredit all the measures that have been taken by the state" to improve conditions in prisons. She also said the state has invested 131 million reais ($55 million) in its prisons since 2009.
Maranhão has the second-worst Human Development Index among Brazil's 27 states, and has been ruled by the Sarney family for nearly five decades. Per capita income, at 348 reais ($146.20) per month, is the lowest in Brazil, and only 6.5 percent of the state's municipalities have treated sewage. Nearly 21 percent of Maranhão residents are illiterate, compared with the national average of 8.7 percent, according to Brazil's statistics institute IBGE.
On Dec. 16, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights made a request for precautionary measures and asked the government to take steps to prevent the loss of life, reduce overcrowding and investigate the incidents at Pedrinhas.
Eleven days later, the Maranhão state police force took control of six detention centres, including the Pedrinhas prison complex. In retaliation, criminal gangs in the capital São Luis fired at police stations with machine guns and set fire to crowded city buses, fatally injuring a 6-year-old girl aboard one of the buses.

As an architect, it can be difficult to attract clients during tough economic conditions. Many homeowners become concerned with saving money rather than putting it toward upgrades in their living spaces. However, many people don't realize that making improvements to their homes can actually benefit them by increasing the value of their property. Here are a couple of ways that you can market your goods and services to not only improve your bottom line, but benefit potential clients.
Develop a niche specialty
One of the easiest ways you can improve your marketability is by making an effort to further your skills, training and education. For instance, by familiarizing yourself with radiant heat technology and the installation process, you can appeal to a new niche of homeowners who are interested in going green and improving their sustainability.
Radiant floor heating is an up-and-coming addition in many homes thanks to its ability to limit reliance on home heating systems and decrease utility costs throughout the year. Consider partnering with a radiant heating expert that can help you discover new ways to incorporate this amenity into house plans so you can attract more clients who are interested in innovative technology in their homes.
Set specific goals
ArchitectSuccess.com reports that another way to rethink your marketing strategy and appeal to more consumers is to set goals for yourself. Think about how much profit you would ideally like to be making over the course of a few months - with a set number, you can then develop a plan to reach this objective. By setting goals, you can create strategies to meet your expectations and maintain your overall bottom line.
Narrowing down your architect business operations as a whole can also help you tweak your current marketing strategy and make it more effective. For instance, consider honing in on your target audience to simplify the process while advertising your goods and services. If you know you want to appeal to professional women, go one step further and choose an age group to give yourself more of a focus.
Boost efficiency
In addition to identifying a target audience, think about which tools and resources work best for you as an architect. Being able to hone in on what works for you can save you time in the future and help you get out of a jam during tough economic times.
Once you have obtained further training, caught up on the latest industry trends and know what processes work best for you, you can begin to advertise your skills and talents. WAHM.com reports that the easiest way to do so is to network locally. You can do this either in person, over the internet or both. Social networking websites have made it easier for skilled workers to showcase their talents to large audiences.
However, nothing quite compares to the effect of meeting locals and shaking hands with them prior to handing out your business card. People like to be able to put a name to a face in person before doing business. Networking with your community and industry experts can be as simple as going to a trade show or expo. Forging connections with other people can give you more options when it comes to everything from gaining clients to improving your marketing tactics.
While it can be difficult to get yourself out of a jam during tough economic times, reading up on new trends such as radiant heat, providing new skills to your consumers and networking can all help you stay afloat as an architect.

Wahhabi or Wahabi (wähä´bē), reform movement in Islam, originating in Arabia; adherents of the movement usually refer to themselves as Muwahhidun [unitarians]. It was founded by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahab (c.1703–1791), who was influenced by Ibn Taymiyya and taught that all accretions to Islam after the 3d cent. of the Muslim era—i.e., after c.950—were spurious and must be expunged. This view, involving essentially a purification of the Sunni sect, regarded the veneration of saints, ostentation in worship, and luxurious living as the chief evils. Accordingly, Wahhabi mosques are simple and without minarets, and the adherents dress plainly and do not smoke tobacco or hashish.
Driven from Medina for his preaching, the founder of the Wahhabi sect went into the NE Nejd and converted the Saud tribe. The Saudi sheik, convinced that it was his religious mission to wage holy war (jihad) against all other forms of Islam, began the conquest of his neighbors in c.1763. By 1811 the Wahhabis ruled all Arabia, except Yemen, from their capital at Riyadh. The Ottoman sultan, nominally suzerain over Arabia, had vainly sent out expeditions to crush them. Only when the sultan called on Muhammad Ali of Egypt for aid did he meet success; by 1818 the Wahhabis were driven into the desert.
In the Nejd the Wahhabis collected their power again and from 1821 to 1833 gained control over the Persian Gulf coast of Arabia. The domain thereafter steadily weakened; Riyadh was lost in 1884, and in 1889 the Saud family fled for refuge into the neighboring state of Kuwait. The Wahhabi movement was to enjoy its third triumph when Ibn Saud advanced from his capture of Riyadh in 1902 to the reconstitution in 1932 of nearly all his ancestral domain under the name Saudi Arabia, where it remains dominant. Wahhabism served as an inspiration to other Islamic reform movements from India and Sumatra to North Africa and Sudan, and during the 20th cent. has influenced the Taliban of Aghanistan and Islamist movements elsewhere.

Litigation Release No. 20644 / July 14, 2008
SEC v. Mobile Ready Entertainment Corp., Michael H. Magolnick and Craig A. Mora, Case No. 1:08-CV-2263, (Northern District of Georgia (Atlanta Division)
SEC Charges Co-CEOs of Mobile Phone Marketing Company with "Pump and Dump" Stock Fraud
The Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) today announced the filing of a civil action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against Mobile Ready Entertainment Corp. (Mobile Ready) and its former co-chief executive officers Michael H. Magolnick (Magolnick) and Craig A. Mora (Mora). The Commission alleges that, between January and July 2007, Magolnick and Mora, acting through Mobile Ready, created artificial demand for Mobile Ready stock through the issuance of false and misleading press releases that contained baseless revenue projections and identified contracts for future business that did not exist. These false and misleading press releases inflated the per share price and trading volume of Mobile Ready. The complaint alleges that Magolnick and Mora thereafter made additional false statements in efforts to obtain unfounded legal opinion letters supporting their sales of Mobile Ready shares, which were not freely tradable. As a result of their efforts to artificially inflate the market for Mobile Ready stock and their obtaining baseless legal opinions supporting their sales, Magolnick and Mora sold personal holdings of more than 2 million restricted shares each.
The Commission alleges that, by their misconduct, defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and that Magolnick and Mora further violated Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Commission seeks against the defendants permanent injunctive relief, and, with respect to Magolnick and Mora, an accounting, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains plus prejudgment interest, civil penalties, and penny-stock and officer-director bars.
