You know it's important to protect your child's tender skin from harmful ultraviolet rays. But you can't just slather on any old sunscreen anytime you remember to. Are you sunscreen savvy? Ask yourself:
1. Which sun-protection factor (SPF) is best?
a. An SPF of 15 or higher
b. An SPF between 35 and 50
c. An SPF under 15
2. When's the best time to apply sunscreen?
a. An hour before going out in the sun
b. Fifteen to 30 minutes before going out in the sun
c. Immediately upon going out in the sun
3. How often should sunscreen be reapplied?
a. Every hour
b. Every two hours
c. Every three hours
d. Whenever your child gets wet
Answer 1: A
When choosing sunscreen for your child, choose one with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. There's no need to use products with an SPF over 30, though, because these provide added chemicals without much added protection. A product with an SPF of 30 blocks 97 percent of UVB rays, for example, and one with an SPF of 15 blocks 93 percent of UVB rays.
While the SPF only indicates protection against UVB rays, you'll want to choose a "broad spectrum" sunscreen. Broad spectrum means that it protects against both UVA and UVB rays.
UVB rays are more likely to cause sunburn and wrinkling, but UVA rays pass deeper into the skin. Both can be dangerous.
Answer 2: B
Apply sunscreen about 15 to 30 minutes before you head out the door. Make sure every part of your child's exposed skin is covered, including the tips of his ears, the back of his neck and knees, the tops of his feet, and other sun-sensitive spots.
Use about as much sunscreen as you would lotion on dry skin. A 4-year old, for example, needs about 2 to 3 tablespoons of sunscreen. (That means an 8-ounce tube will only last for five or six applications, so stock up!)
Answer 3: B and D
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that you reapply sunscreen every two hours, or after your child gets wet or perspires heavily, whichever comes first. Even sunscreens labeled "water resistant" can become less effective after 40 minutes in the water. And when your child towel-dries, he'll rub off much of the sunscreen.

Beach Landing - Hooked
The Beach Landing is the most stylish way to get back to the beach.
Before trying you should already be confident doing a hooked in jump. You must also be able to go fast and edge your board upwind whilst steering the kite up. These are all essential for performing a Beach Jump.
Before you initiate the jump, loosen your feet in the straps, this will help get the board off easily once you're in the air.
As you approach the beach slow your speed down a bit. Edge your board upwind and steer the kite up to 12 o'clock, pulling down on the bar no more than halfway to get some lift and airtime It is important to keep control of the jump so moderate your movements.. Once you're in the air bend your knees and grab the backside edge of your board with your back hand.
As you reach the apex of your jump, pull your feet out of the straps, starting with the back and following with the front. For a smooth landing keep the kite above you and the bar pulled down half way.
To stay safe and avoid injuries it's important to practice this move in deep water first Once comfortable take it to shallower waters and finally the beach.
Let's repeat the key elements:
· Slide your feet to loosen the grip of the straps
· Steer the kite up, edge and jump pulling the bar down no more than halfway
· Grab the backside edge of your board and get your feet out of the straps
· Spot your landing
Beach Start - Hooked
Running Start - Hooked
Boardon Jump Start - Hooked
Jump Start - Hooked
If you're looking for a nice way to leave the beach, then here's the Jump Start.
Looking for a nice way to leave the beach? Here is the jump start.
Start by placing the board on the ground in front of you. Step into the binding with one foot first, following with the other. By twisting your foot from side to side, you can secure your feet without using a handle. Lift your toes up to lock your foot in the strap.
Start by placing the board on the ground in front of you. Step into the binding with one foot first, following with the other.
Steer the kite to a 11 or 1 o'clock position and twist your body towards the kite. This is your starting position. To get off the beach send the kite up and behind you, allowing your head and body to follow.
As the kite passes the zenith, push the bar forward. As you feel the lift of the kite, lean backwards slightly so you don't get pulled over your board.
Once the kite has passed the zenith and travels to a 1 or 11 o'clock position, pull down on the bar and jump off by extending both legs.
Once airborne, keep your body tensed and bring your legs forward. Spot the landing and as you approach the water send the kite down so you have enough speed to ride away.
Always make sure your fins or board are not embedding into the sand or suctioned to the beach, especially if there are small waves.
Let's repeat the key elements:
Get into your starting position
Send the kite in the other direction and wait for the lift
Jump off with both feet, spot your landing and ride away

The Philadelphia Eagles had won the 1948 NFL title in a game played amidst blizzard conditions. On December 18, 1949 they were once again playing for the league championship while facing extreme weather. The Eagles, under Head Coach Earle "Greasy" Neale, were an even better club than in '48. They repeated as Eastern Division champs with an 11-1 record, leading the NFL both in points scored (364) and fewest points surrendered (134). The key to the offense was star HB Steve Van Buren (pictured above), who won his fourth league rushing title in five years with a record 1146 yards. QB Tommy Thompson was a fine passer and had an able receiving corps in ends Pete Pihos, Jack Ferrante, and Neill Armstrong. Neale's innovative 5-2-4 defense was highly effective.
The winners of the Western Division were the Los Angeles Rams, who went 8-2-2. Head Coach Clark Shaughnessy was one of the architects of the T-formation and fashioned a high-scoring offense. Veteran QB Bob Waterfield was joined by rookie Norm Van Brocklin and HB Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch was moved out to flanker where he joined ends Tom Fears and Bob Shaw to create an exciting and productive passing attack. However, after winning their first six games they lost badly at Philadelphia and struggled through the remainder of the schedule.
Heavy rains struck Los Angeles the previous day and continued through the Sunday of the title game, dumping some three inches of rain on Los Angeles and making the field at the Memorial Coliseum a sea of mud. A record crowd was expected to attend the contest in the cavernous stadium, but the heavy downpour limited attendance to a disappointing 22,245 – a particular disappointment to the players, who were looking forward to a large gate with healthy shares going to the winning team. Thus, there were players, and for that matter fans, who wanted to see the game postponed a week, but it went on as scheduled.
With conditions that essentially grounded the offenses, neither team scored in the opening period. In the second quarter, the Eagles put together a 63-yard drive. Tommy Thompson completed passes to Jack Ferrante that gained 11 and 16 yards, respectively, and then hit Pete Pihos from 31 yards out, who made a leaping grab at the 15 and proceeded unmolested into the end zone. Cliff Patton's extra point attempt was successful and the defending champs held a 7-0 lead at the half.
Philadelphia added to its lead in the third quarter. With the Rams backed up to their 10 yard line, a punt by Bob Waterfield was blocked by DE Leo Skladany who then managed to gain possession of the ball that had rolled back to the two and cross the goal line for another TD. It was a career highlight for Skladany, a rookie who was playing semipro football until signed by the Eagles during the season when star DE Johnny Green went down with an injury. Once again Patton added the PAT.
The Rams only threatened twice, reaching the Philadelphia 25 and 37 yard lines, but came up empty. A field goal try by Waterfield from 45 yards sailed wide. Likewise, the Eagles had an opportunity to add to their margin but HB Jim Parmer fumbled the ball away at the LA 7. The key to the game was Philadelphia's ability to run the ball effectively and thus control time of possession as well as being able to shut the Rams down defensively. The Eagles won their second consecutive title by a score of 14-0.
Philadelphia's domination was complete. The Eagles ran far more plays (70 to 51), gained more total yards (342 to 109), and had more first downs (17 to 7). The Rams didn't make a first down on a running play and set a team record for lowest rushing yardage in a title game (21 yards on 24 carries). Philadelphia, on the other hand, did the opposite (274 yards on 61 attempts).
Steve Van Buren was the game's dominant player, gaining a postseason-record 196 yards on 31 carries (it remained the NFL standard until 1975). Tommy Thompson threw just 9 passes and completed 5 for 68 yards and a touchdown along with two interceptions. Jack Ferrante was the only Eagle to catch more than one pass, with two for 27 yards, although Pete Pihos was the receiving yardage leader with 31 on his lone reception for a TD.
For the Rams, Bob Waterfield and Norm Van Brocklin combined for 10 completions in 27 attempts for 98 yards and one interception. Four receivers caught two passes apiece, with tackle Dick Huffman the leader in yards with 26. The anemic ground game was led by HB Fred Gehrke who gained 13 yards on three attempts – FB Dick Hoerner had 7 carries, for just 10 yards.
"My boys did their best," summed up Clark Shaughnessy. "I can't think of a single change I would make if the game were played again."
The win over the Rams made the Eagles the first back-to-back NFL Champions since the 1940-41 Bears and crowned a run in which they topped the Eastern Division for three straight years. They dropped to 6-6 and third place in the revamped American Conference in 1950 primarily as the result of injuries (particularly to Van Buren) – and the arrival of the Cleveland Browns from the AAFC. Philadelphia would not win another title until 1960. The Rams, on the other hand, made it back to the Championship game in each of the next two seasons, winning in 1951 and tying for first place in the National Conference in '52.

Guns for Beyonce tickets? If one hip-hop mogul has his way, it could be true.
The New York Daily News reports that Michael "Blue" Williams, president of Family Tree Entertainment and manager to acts like Cee-Lo Green and Outkast, has plans to offer goods like Beyonce concert tickets to New Yorkers willing to hand in their firearms. Williams is hoping to raise $100,000 for his "Guns for Greatness" program and get the support of the New York Police Department.
"The Beyonce show is coming to Brooklyn; the Jay-Z show is coming to Yankee Stadium," the 43-year-old Bronx native told the Daily News on Monday. "Our goal is to reach out to individuals who are in my industry, in my world and who I have an association with and get their support. I think we should all work together to help get guns off the streets."

Graduate and Professional School
Graduate school differs from an undergraduate education in that it involves specialized study and a more narrowed focus. Many Middlebury alumni pursue advanced degrees, but only about 15 percent do so immediately after college. Most seniors work and explore their interests further before beginning graduate study. Graduate degrees can mean a significant commitment in time and resources, so you want to be ready to invest yourself in that degree.
Why pursue a graduate degree? In some careers, such as medicine, law, clinical psychology, or college/university teaching, it is a required qualification. In other career paths, such as business or public administration, it may be advantageous to your career goals.
Types of graduate degrees:
- Academic degrees (MA, MS, PhD): These are awarded in all liberal arts disciplines and typically involve original research. Master's programs are typically two years. Doctoral programs (PhD) are longer; time to degree may be five to seven years, depending on the field of study.
- Professional degrees: These have a more career-specific focus, often combining clinical or professional internships with classes. Examples include architecture (MArch), business (MBA), medicine (MD, DVM, DDS), law (JD), Education (MEd), Fine Arts (MFA), library science (MLS), social work (MSW), public administration (MPA), among others.
Deciding if and when to apply requires careful consideration and planning. Here are some suggestions to help you begin the process of making an educated decision:
- Evaluate your interests and goals and be clear about your reasons for pursuing a particular degree. Pursuing a graduate or professional program without a specific outcome in mind can be a costly decision that does not yield benefits. Graduate school should not be thought of as the option to take simply because you are unsure of what else to do; and remember, graduate school does not allow for the type of exploring that takes place in an undergraduate liberal arts curriculum.
- Identify the type of work you would like to do when you have completed your degree, and whether or not this degree helps you in that career path.
- Determine if you have the financial resources to cover the cost of graduate school and investigate alternative sources of funding such as financial aid, fellowships, and assistantships.
- Talk with your faculty adviser and others who specialize in your areas of interest to determine whether or not graduate school is a good option for you at this time.

The Ordeals of A.J. Burnett
At their current trajectory, the Yankees are going to be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. Here in the Bronx, A.J. Burnett – to my thinking the most important player on the roster – has again succumbed to the yips, and, for the fourth time in his last nine starts, surrendered six or more runs – twice in twelve days to the less-than-daunting Orioles. As on Monday, Burnett, staked to a 1-0 lead, wobbled in the second, giving up a blast to Nolan Reimold and then walking Matt Wieters with one out. There followed three successive singles – the last two of them dink hits by Aubrey and Andino – and then the almost predictable kaboom: a crushed and crushing grand slam by Brian Roberts.
Burnett's ability to handle misfortune – or even ordinary adversity – seems to be declining. And as was speculated here in the press box by Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record, on what can the Yankees depend if they were to lose a Sabathia playoff opener 1-0 and had to hand the ball to Burnett in an essential second game? More daunting still, until today Burnett had made 14 starts at Yankee Stadium and only once given up more than three.

Ah Keith.. Come now. You know that Playoff atmospheres make a big difference in a player's mindset, preparation and performance. AJ will be Squared Away… when the time comes and his teammates need him!
Hey, Keith! My thinking is that some of these players are already looking ahead to the playoffs and when they do get into that atmosphere, like a previous comment, it's time to turn it up! On a personal note…..I grew up in L.A. and enjoyed your sportscasts back when we were both much younger. Regards, David
Geez Krith:
Previous 14 starts and no more than 3? Why, great record discounted by one night? Good thing your other job does not require you to be on each night. As a long standing fan of your other passion, there are nights you never hit it out of the ballpark and your opposition scores more points than you.
Lighten up. You must have felt the "press"ure to be so negative by sitting in the wrong box.
Keith is dead-on. As mediocre as Burnett has been all year, his worst starts have come when there's been some pressure. (Burnett's ERA is exactly league average. Yankee Stadium has proven to be only a slight hitter's park. Baseball-Reference rates it at 103. While balls have been flying out of there, doubles and triples have been depressed equally significantly. Both the Yankees and their opponents have scored almost as many runs when the Yanks are on the road as when they're at home.)
Once the post-season starts, there will be no more Mitre, Wang, Penny, Smoltz, et al. In games started by Sabathia, Chamberlain, Burnett, and Pettitte, 117 games in all, the Yankees are playing .658 ball. In games started by Lester, Beckett, Buchholz, and Wakefield, 89 games in all, the Red Sox are playing .699 ball.
Add into the equation the fact that Beckett and Lester on the Sox side and only Pettitte on the Yankees side are proven big game pitchers and the fact that the Million Dollar Arm/Ten Cent head (see: Burnett, AJ and Chamberlain, Joba) doesn't play well in the post-season, and Keith has ample reason to be concerned.
If you look at the moments in his career when AJ signs new contracts- he is super good prior to signing the new contract, and then mediocre the following year. This could be a case where AJ is suffering from the New York jitters. New York isn't the most forgiving environment for a player especially if you sign a huge contract and you are told anything but winning the world series is unacceptable.
Keith, this is on a different subject, but I just read that you had written the forward in the book "More Than Merkle" by David Anderson. Did you know Fred Merkle personally? I went to school with his daughter Marianne, and dated his business partner's daughter Joanne Thornton in the late 40's.

Although I'm not a baseball fan, I enjoy your blog.
Off topic, my best thoughts and prayers go out to your Dad. I hope he gets out of the hospital soon. My mom-in-law just had a major stroke so I have some idea of what your family may be feeling. Take care!
I think Burnett will be okay. He's too good for this to keep going on. I think emotions can get the better of him but still he needs motivation (like the PS) to get him to work at his best.
You're so insecure K-money.
In the 90's a great farm system was coupled with some amazing acquisitions. The kind of guys who had been avg. good and some real good and the thing that united them the most was how they were a Yankee. Even Redsox fans can attest to that teams greatness. Those guys all played up to the bill. They were a great "TEAM". Then somehow we and I mean Cashman lost his touch for putting an "Octoberish Picture" together. In recent years we have brought in the types of heroes that couldn't fetch the damsdal in distress and left her tied down to the tracks. 18-2 one night and then lose 3-2 the next 10 nights. We are back on track or the tracks, we've got the girl in our arms and we are about to fly away having saved the day. And all of this is because a great team assumes each others mistakes and makes damage control look like fun. The Yankees are having a great year, they are having fun and there is no one guy, and even though the pitching has been good it is nice to know it doesn't have to be. Also Beckett hasn't looked so hot lately.

Winkler Sommerfeld Mennonite Church (Winkler, Manitoba, Canada)
The Winkler Sommerfeld Mennonite congregation in Winkler, MB began services in 1892. The first building was occupied in 1887, with subsequent building programs in 1966 and 1982. In 1993 there were plans to build a new church in Winkler with seating for 900-1000. Abraham Doerksen is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through division from Bergthaler Mennonites.
The Sommerfeld church at Silberfeld was moved to Reinland in 1966 after the first building (1887) was dismantled. (According to Jake Peters it was dismantled in the late 1920s.)
In 1993 there were about 400 members. The congregation has been affiliated with the Sommerfeld Mennonite Conference. The language of worship is Low German and English.
The church was located in the Village of Reinland, 15 km south, 3 km east of Winkler. Minister John Peters served in 1993 as a non-salaried congregational leader.

I spent a good hour this morning "cleaning" the forum and I'm not done. Both Bruce and I put a lot of effort into "cleaning" the forum regularly. Today I noticed a new trend that is discussed in our TOS. Here is the link for you if you haven't read the TOS, and if you haven't, please do. And it never hurts to reread and refresh yourself on these every so often. I know I do.
Now lets discuss this one please:
7. Double posting Do not double post. Posting two or more times in a row is not necessary. There is an edit button for all posts you make, and it should be used. (There are some exception regarding the Classic-Castle RolePlay)
Like I said, this is becoming a strange trend that I have noticed in the last couple of weeks. And while that seems to be a minor concern, there are more than one member doing that right now.
So if you could all help us out, it is the "busy" season for the admins and none of us can be on this forum 24/7...we have families, lives, jobs..etc...and try not do multiple post, even if you are quoting multiple threads, we would be grateful.
If you need help learning how to quote multiple posts in a row, anyone on the staff would be more than willing to help you.
Thank you much for listening.

I haven't blogged much about Family Tree Maker for the Mac, because it's more difficult for me to do good screen captures, etc., but I am working on that issue. Until the most recent version FTMM-3, the feature set was behind that of the PC version (FTM2014) and it's been that way since the Mac version came out.
However, that has changed. The feature set between the two versions are very close. From what I can tell it's more about how you do some items on the Mac vs how you do the same thing on the PC. The Mac is not my strength.
There is a feature of Family Tree Maker for the Mac, version 3 (FTMM-3), that really needs to be talked about. That is the ability to exchange a file from the Mac to the PC or the other way around. Prior to FTMM-3, there was a migration tool, that allowed you to migrate a file between the two application. That has changed.
In FTMM-3, I went into File, Export, to Export the complete file, and Saved it into Dropbox that is on my Mac. That creates a .FTMB or a Family Tree Maker Back Up file that is user created.
When the Dropbox notification appear on my PC, I opened FTM2014, did a File, Restore from Back Up, selected that Mac created back up file, and FTM2014 opened that file without any problems at all. The file had Media files that came over correctly. So far, I have not been able to find anything that I hadn't expected to see.
So, we can seamlessly open a file created on the Mac (FTMM-3), on the PC in FTM2014. Using Dropbox made the transport of that file effortless.

Back to the Grind
After the picture by the front tree, I took them over to the school and got them settled in their new classrooms with their new teachers and new friends. Anna couldn't have me leave quickly enough...Sam had a little bit of a harder time. His class is huge this year (30 kids) and the room is on the small side. NOT meant for 30 kids. There was a bit of chaos, lots of shuffling bodies and a mommy who could barely hold herself together which made for one panicky boy. But in the end, we both took a deep breath and gave last loves. Then it was Josh's turn. He is in preschool 2 days a week and he is thrilled. He was mad when he realized that I would be taking him to school AND picking him up today and not the bus. He has made so much progress on his speech this summer...I know this year will be a great year for him.
My mom used to tell me that she had friends that would get together the morning school started and have breakfast to celebrate. She didn't see what there was to celebrate. I don't either. As much as the kids add "stuff" to my life and days during the summer, I'm always a little sad when school starts again.
After getting the kids in their classes, I felt a little weird walking down the hall. Alone. Kinda like I was missing a limb. But I managed to get myself pulled together and out the front door. But only after I checked on them all from their classroom doors...one...last...time.

I think if we lived by each other....we would have a "Mommy pity lunch!" It would be filled with chocolate and lots of other delicious things! I do love the photo of Josh at preschool! They will ALL do GREAT (especially after all that kissing up!!)

It's good to catch up with you. Thanks for your email. I'm glad everything went well for your trip! I hope your dad is feeling better soon.
Your children are so darling and looking so grown up. I can't believe that Josh! He's really looking grown up.
Your teachers are so lucky to have your kids (and YOU-with your cute ideas and fun gifts).
I can relate to the feeling of lost limbs.
It gets better.
loves to you!

Such a darling group of kiddos. Anna looks so grown up. I hope she will love first grade. Wow 30 kids... I'm not looking forward to those upper grades. I'm sure Sam will do great, but I would have been pretty panicky too! And little Josh is just adorable. I'm sure he loves going to school with the big kids.

I do like having my kids at home. Not that I don't enjoy going to the commissary by myself but I miss them. Mine are now 3rd and 5th and I still cried the other morning...being a mom is the most wonderful thing.
Hope you guys have that new early morning routine down already.

Leighton Lecture 2008
Alumna Haben Delivers 2008 Leighton Lecture
by Lauren Randazzo
During her lecture on March 26, Mary Kay Haben ('77), the Group Vice President and Managing Director for the North America sector of the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, left her audience with a strong message to take with them that is applicable to the business world and beyond: leadership and ethics constitute reputation and there is nothing more important than how people perceive your character.
In today's business world, CEO's and other leaders are constantly being watched. "One must be accountable. When mistakes are made, it is important to act responsibly." Haben believes, "A true leader should take responsibility for what happened, apologize and work hard to fix the problem."
Haben, who is also a 27 year veteran of Kraft Foods, Inc., gave an example of a respectable response from a company faced with a serious crisis. Her former boss from Kraft Foods, Inc., who currently works for Mattel, responded to the very serious and dangerous problem of certain toy parts containing lead.
Photo: Haben delivering Leighton Lecture"He did what was right for the public good. He took responsibility for what had happened, apologized to consumers and ultimately Mattel's stock rebounded" as a result of his transparent communication practices and strong leadership skills and ethics.
While Haben's message prepared students for future careers in corporate America, she also cautioned students to the dangers of popular social networking websites such as Facebook or Myspace many use today.
"Behave impeccably. You are being watched. It will come back to haunt you ten to twelve years down the line" she warned.
Haben also encouraged students to find out if the companies they consider as employers share similar ethics and leadership attributes. "The company you choose is as important to your reputation as your reputation is to the company that hires you."
Haben left her audience with final remarks reminding them that trust, dignity and respect are the keys to a healthy company and reputation.
"All companies today need to think beyond profit. They need to do more than just manufacture products. The ones that do the right thing win. It is one of the things that attracted to me to Wrigley and why I am proud to be a part of the company today."
Mary Kay met her husband Edward when they were undergraduates at Illinois. Her son, Mike, is currently a junior in Finance.

I've been thinking about selling my TV+PS3 lately... I figure if I really want to watch something I can watch a DVD or something on my computer. But then I'd missing new episodes of The Walking Dead, so I don't think it'll happen...(Though does one of those online tv show websites have TWD? Hmm...)

Plow through that half season or so and you should be happy once again.
The Coffee show "Dangerous Grounds" has been moved to 11:00 PM. I hope that doesnt mean it's been downgraded by the Travel Channel.Worrisome
I canceled my cable tv today.
The LGTB stuff was the least of my objections with Torchwood season one, although RTD is admittedly pretty heavy-handed with those elements.
Torchwood, Season 1Great spinoff of the revived Doctor Who series, though I would like to see less exploration of LGBT themes.

Karl Schwonik - Drums
Chris McMurran - Piano
Fred Smith - Bass
Join us for a concert filled with jazz music both contemporary and traditional. Karl Schwonik leads this dynamic trio showcasing his own compositions as well as pieces by McMurran. This concert is presented by the Churchill Music Society and sees two of the finest young musicians in Cambridge joining Schwonik on the stage.
"...Schwonik colors the [music] with an active imagination and serious technique…"
- Frank Alkyer – DownBeat magazine
YAMAHA Drum Artist Karl Schwonik grew up on a farm near Gwynne, Alberta, Canada. Early on, he was exposed to a wide range of musical situations ranging from jazz to polka. Fresh out of high school, Schwonik embarked on a tour with 2-time Canadian Country Music Award Nominee Heather-Dawn. This was followed by an invitation to study at the Banff Centre where Schwonik was the youngest participant ever in the long-term career residency program.
Schwonik has an extremely active schedule; he has completed over thirty substantial tours as a leader. In his travels, Schwonik has performed in country barns, world-class jazz clubs and concert halls such as Carnegie Hall and the John F. Kennedy Center. His third of four recordings on Chronograph Records, 1+4, was #1 on Canadian jazz radio charts for nearly 2 months. Both 1+4 and Schwonik's first album, Visions From the Farm, were nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award for 'Jazz Recording of the Year'.
In 2008, Schwonik founded the Wetaskiwin Jazz Society in Wetaskiwin, AB. The WJS strives to build awareness for the arts in the central Alberta region with its three main programs: the Wetaskiwin Jazz Camp, Jazz-in-Schools and community concerts. In 2011, Schwonik joined the Board of Directors for the Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA). The AFA is a government agency responsible for disbursing nearly $30M annually in grants and scholarships to artists and arts organizations in Alberta.

" Young voters formed the backbone of President Barack Obama's coalition, but the recession in Obama's economy has left "workers between the ages of 18 and 24 with the highest unemployment rate of all adults" and, as a result, a record number of young people–even those with college credits and work histories–are becoming homeless. They have been forced to live in shelters, sleep on couches, or live on the streets.
The New York Times profiled the homeless young and concluded "those who can move back home with their parents — the so-called boomerang set — are the lucky ones," but that is often not an option for some who have to couch surf or sleep "hidden away in cars or other private places, hoping to avoid the lasting stigma of public homelessness during what they hope will be a temporary predicament." "

Health & insurance
Before You Go
Health Insurance
- If you're an EU citizen, a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) – available from health centres or, in the UK, post offices – covers you for urgent medical treatment, including pre-existing medical conditions and routine maternity care. However, it will not cover costs such as being flown back home in an emergency, so private travel insurance will also be needed.
- Citizens from non-EU countries should find out if there is a reciprocal arrangement for free medical care between their country and the UK.
- If you do need health insurance, make sure you get a policy that covers you for the worst possible scenarios, including emergency flights home.
Recommended Vaccinations
No vaccinations are required to travel to Britain. For more information, check with your medical provider in your own country before you travel.
In England
Availability & Cost of Healthcare
- Quality medical treatment is widely available at National Health Service (NHS) hospitals throughout the country, and (much more expensively) through private medical practices.
- Chemists (pharmacies) can advise on minor ailments such as sore throats and earaches. In large cities, there's always at least one 24-hour chemist.
- For medical advice that is not an emergency you can call the NHS 111 service (phone 111).
Tap Water
The tap water is safe to drink.

Bill McBride at Calculated Risk has two must-read paragraphs on the so-called Fiscal Cliff:
My baseline forecast assumes a compromise on the fiscal slope (more of a "slope" than a "cliff", and January 1st is not a drop dead date). My current guess is an agreement will be reached AFTER January 1st - so that the Bush tax cuts can expire and certain politicians can claim they didn't vote to raise taxes (silly, but that is politics).
I expect the relief from the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) will be extended, the tax cuts for low to middle income families will be reenacted, and that most, but not all, of the defense spending cuts will be reversed (aka "sequestration"). However I think the payroll tax cut will probably not be extended, and tax rates on high income earners will increase a few percentage points to the Clinton era levels.
This is a very sensible, and important antidote to some of the Cliff hysteria that's permeated the media.
January 1 isn't a drop dead date. Later in the Spring there's a debt ceiling hike that has to happen, and that's more of a hard deadline, but it's not the end of the world if the tax and sequestration issues aren't dealt with in the next few weeks. Not only is there no 'bang' event on January 1, but letting the tax rates jump is a way for politicians to then vote to lower them, which is easier.
It would not be good to let everything expire permanently, as that would be a shock austerity that we don't need, but it's not a hit/not-hit scenario. Given the seriousness of the issues, better to not try to do a rush job in the middle of a media-induced, post-election fever.

text: The French Baguette is a world famous bread with a personality and structure all of its own: a soft crumb wrapped in a crispy crust. In the past, bread loaves were baked in the village communal oven until, in 1920, a law was passed preventing bakers from working before 4 am. This made it impossible to bake the traditional loaf in time for breakfast. A longer, thinner Baguette solved the problem because it could be prepared and baked much more rapidly. Bakers in Paris started competing to offer the freshest bread possible, and to meet demand they baked 3 times a day and made the loaves longer in order to get more crust and less crumbs. The Baguette was born and would start its conquest of the world.

Dear Parents,
It's that time of year when you are probably gearing up to torture your offspring with the ever-so-necessary trip to see Santa Claus. Well, take a look at this picture and heed this advice: Don't do it! At the very least, think twice.
My mom has insisted on displaying this photo in our living room for the past 20 years, so I've had plenty of time for reflection. Why do parents do this? I mean, look at that howling baby! I may not remember the terror evident on my face, but I can tell you that my Santa phobia foreshadowed fears to come.
My family's regular outings to Red Robin restaurants were a source of anxiety; the human-sized bird mascot in blue vest and red sneakers sent me diving under the table whenever he approached. Hiding spots were harder to find at Disneyland, where the bobblehead chipmunks, ducks and other supposedly lovable characters that roamed the park could ignite a panic attack faster than a rocket could zoom through Space Mountain.
There was no escape at the "North Pole" either. I absolutely hated Santa Claus. He would try to entice me with those red-and-white sticks of deliciousness, but if I'd had the ability to execute an escape plan, all of the candy canes in the world wouldn't have kept me around. Even though I was clearly not a fan of this long-running tradition, my parents plopped me down on that red-velvet lap anyway, year after year after year.
Recently I discovered why my mom made me sit in tears on Santa's lap. She and I went to Disneyland with my sisters to celebrate my nephew's 2nd birthday. As soon as Gunner got close to the giant Mickey Mouse, he began to bawl for his mom, who mercifully pulled him away. But it was long enough to snap a photo and create a sentimental moment for the adults.
If my personal experience isn't enough to dissuade you from making that trip to Santa's Village, listen to the advice of psychologists. In a 2009 study conducted at the UC Irvine Child Development Center, researchers found that kids thrived the most in nurturing, sensitively attuned, responsive caregiving environments. In another study, psychologists from Vanderbilt University compared how children fared with unfamiliar adults who were warm and responsive versus others who were cold and aloof. Not surprisingly, they found that kids subjected to the non-nurturing adults were less happy, according to a 2005 study in the journal Social Development.
In situations like mine with Santa, my parents weren't emotionally responsive. They allowed me to sit there crying so they could get a nice memory. I am not saying that my emotional development was severely affected, but every child is different.
Latest Health
This is supposed to be a fun experience, so let your sons and daughters decide when they are ready to see Santa, so they can enjoy the experience too. Eventually, your children will love telling Santa what they want for Christmas, and in the long run, those are the memories that really matter.

Academic round-up
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear two cases next Term on the question whether whether a criminal defendant is entitled to a remedy for defense counsel"™s inadequate performance during plea bargaining if the defendant ultimately enters a voluntary, knowing, and intelligent plea, or if the defendant is convicted after a fair trial.
In Lafler v. Cooper, the court of appeals held that defense counsel was ineffective for counseling Cooper to reject a plea bargain in the mistaken belief that Cooper could not be convicted of assault with intent to murder. (Oddly, defense counsel believed that because the bullets entered the victim"™s body below the waist, the state could not prove intent to kill. As the Sixth Circuit dryly noted, "[c]ounsel was wrong.") Cooper was convicted at trial and he received a sentence approximately ten times longer than the plea offer. The prosecution argued that because Cooper received a fair trial, he has no Sixth Amendment claim for ineffective assistance at the plea bargaining stage.
In Missouri v. Frye, defense counsel failed to inform his client of the prosecution"™s plea offer of 10 days in jail. Frye eventually entered a guilty plea and was sentenced to three years of incarceration. As in Cooper, the prosecution asserts that a defendant has no remedy for ineffective counsel at the plea bargain stage in a case in which the defendant ultimately enters into a voluntary, knowing, and intelligent guilty plea.
Some interesting recent scholarship addresses hard questions about plea bargaining""a subject that has gotten more attention since the Court held in Padilla v. Kentucky that defense counsel has a constitutional obligation to inform a defendant of the "succinct, clear, and explicit" immigration consequences of pleading guilty. Professor Jenny Roberts, whose thoughtful scholarship on these questions was cited by the Supreme Court in Padilla, has just posted an article on SSRN arguing that the "prejudice" prong of the two-pronged ineffective assistance of counsel test must expand to accommodate the reality that most cases end in a guilty plea, not a trial. Professor Roberts criticizes those courts that view prejudice entirely through the lens of trials""for example, by finding prejudice only if the defendant would have opted to go to trial had he been properly advised at the plea bargaining stage. Roberts argues that prejudice also exists if the defendant would likely have negotiated for a better deal had he been privy to the relevant information, as would be true in Missouri v. Frye. Professor Roberts concludes that this broader conception of "prejudice" better accords with a criminal justice system in which plea bargains are the norm, and trials the rare exception.
In an article to be published in the California Law Review, Professor Stephanos Bibas addresses similar questions and, like Professor Roberts, concludes that courts must be careful not to view trials as the norm when analyzing counsel"™s performance at the plea bargaining stage. According to Bibas, courts and legislatures would do better to look outside criminal law altogether when thinking about plea bargaining, and should instead refer to consumer protection law as a source of guidance. Consumers benefit from legislation that mandates disclosure of relevant information, bars misleading sales tactics, and provides for "cooling off" periods during which a buyer has a limited amount of time to rescind a purchase. Professor Bibas advocates similar protections for criminal defendants facing the all-important question of whether to accept a plea. He notes that it "is astonishing that a $100 credit-card purchase of a microwave oven is regulated more carefully than a guilty plea that results in years of imprisonment."
Finally, Professor Bibas makes the interesting claim that the addition to two former prosecutors to the Court "" Justices Alito and Sotomayor "" may have inspired the Court to take a more realistic approach to plea bargaining.

'RHONY' Recap: Countess LuAnn & Ramona Singer's Daughters Sweet 16 Birthday Battle!
Drama Alert! LuAnn and Ramona's daughters plan similar themed sweet 16 b-day parties on the same day! Oh no!
The Real Housewives of New York City stars Countess LuAnn de Lesseps and Ramona Singer have been busy planning their daughters' sweet sixteen birthday bashes only to find out that they are both having winter wonderland themed parties on the same day. How outrageous!
The bashes turn into massive blow outs. Victoria de Lesseps throws hers at a club and shines in a stunning sequin dress. Avery Singer on the other hand brags to her friends about possibly inviting celebrities like Justin Bieber and Katy Perry. In the end, her mommy Ramona is the main attraction and Avery can't handle it when the Housewives put on a spectacle in front of her 200 plus guests.
While LuAnn and Ramona are deep in party planning mode readying to celebrate their daughters getting one year older, Jill Zarin decides to turn back the clock by getting a liquid face lift. And she also gets another pleasant present.
Jill's closest friends and family — and of course the other Housewives — throw Jill a surprise birthday party. And LuAnn, who we all know is a very talented singer, takes the opportunity to serenade her friend and the rest of the guests. What a delightful bonus! LuAnn definitely puts Lady Gaga to shame, especially with her wild outfit!
While all of the celebrations are taking place, poor Simon McCord starts his battle to quit smoking. His wife Alex has a hires a hypnotist to come to their house and Brooklyn and put him in a trance. As soon as Simon wakes up, the taste of nicotine bothers him and he immediately needs to brush his teeth. Sounds like success, but will he actually be able to win the war.
BFFs — whose party would you rather go to — Avery's, Victoria's or Jill's?

Meredith Richards: Blazing a campaign trail
The carmine-haired candidate in the Fifth District congressional race is on her way to Cumberland County, and cell phone reception is spotty.
In her race against well-funded incumbent Virgil Goode, Charlottesville's Vice Mayor Meredith Richards spends four or five days a week traveling to some of Virginia's most economically devastated counties in a district that stretches from Greene County to the North Carolina border.
"I'm running because the Fifth District is in trouble," says Richards. "They're very demoralized in Southside Virginia, where tens of thousands are out of work with no new prospects for jobs."
Richards touts a Mark Warner message: economic redevelopment through technology. At the same time, she emphasizes that her message is "not either liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican," and she says the biggest misperception about her is a "tax and spend liberal image."
Here are some other things you may not have known about Richards: She's pretty darn funny, and her husband does all the grocery shopping.

KIRKSVILLE, Mo. � The University of Illinois Springfield took a history-making victory on Sunday as the Prairie Stars upset victory over Truman State 78-72 in the first round of the Great Lakes Valley Conference Men�s Basketball Tournament at Pershing Arena.
UIS senior guard Regan Bruenger poured in a career-high 25 points and was 8-for-14 from the field as the 12th-seeded Prairie Stars (10-17) won a see-saw battle against the No. 5 Bulldogs (20-7).
It was the Stars� first GLVC tournament victory after they suffered first-round losses each of the last two years.
�We guarded,� UIS coach Ben Wierzba said. �We made them work for everything they had to get. We rebounded the ball really well. It was a complete effort. Everybody gave us something and it was all positive.�
UIS advanced to a quarterfinal against defending national champion Drury, 24-2 and ranked fifth in the NCAA Division II poll, at 2:30 p.m. Friday at the Ford Center in Evansville, Ind. Drury defeated UIS 66-59 in a GLVC contest Feb. 8.
�We�re happy, but we�re not satisfied,� Wierzba said of the history-making win. �We have to get ready for a really, really good Drury team on Friday.�
To set up the rematch, UIS had to survive a contest Sunday that featured 13 ties and 14 lead changes. Truman State�s largest lead was four points in the first half, while UIS stretched its lead to eight early in the second half.
A 12-2 run put the Stars ahead 21-15 midway through the first half. UIS led 40-34 at halftime.
�Our guys stayed together,� Wierzba said. �We were down one point with 3 � minutes to go and Jamall (Millison) hits a 3 and we never let up after that.�
UIS took a 69-67 lead on Millison�s 3-pointer and never trailed again.
Millison finished with 13 points. Sophomore forward Dusko Despot added 11.
Truman State senior Mike Carlson scored a team-high 18 points on 7-for-14 shooting from the field. The GLVC�s third-highest scorer also grabbed 10 rebounds.

Wood carves out Chairboys win
Sam Wood made it three games unbeaten for Wycombe by scoring the only goal of the game to see off Dagenham & Redbridge.
Wood found the back of the net just after the half-hour mark as the Chairboys put some more daylight between themselves and the League Two drop zone.
Dagenham's Sam Williams volleyed wide from just outside the area after 15 minutes.
On the half-hour mark Jo Kuffour teed up the on-rushing Stuart Lewis but Daggers goalkeeper Chris Lewington was equal to the midfielder's tame effort.
Soon afterwards Wood opened the scoring after coming off his wing to fire a low shot into the bottom corner.
Shortly after the break the Chairboys failed to deal with Matt Saunders' corner and Scott Doe forced Jordan Archer into a reflex save.
In the 53rd minute Wood turned on the edge of the Dagenham area and brought a good save from Lewington.
Lewis had two more chances to double Wycombe's lead before Williams came close to equalising with 10 minutes to play, but he was foiled by a Dave Winfield tackle.

Noir master Nolan wrings cinema riches from next to nothing
Director Christopher Nolan will appear at the Los Angeles County Museum on Friday, Jan. 4, for a special presentation of his first feature film, "Following," which was recently released on Blu-ray by Criterion. Michael Wilmington reviews.
Following/1999/ Next Wave Films/70 min.
A black and white British neo-noir shot on the cheap, with unknown actors, by a then-unknown writer-director, Christopher Nolan, "Following" is the often-fascinating tale of a thief and a voyeur playing dangerous games. Nolan likes tricks and the Wellesian magicians who play them, and the whole movie is something of a conjuring act.
Done with scant resources and slender means, "Following" grabs you, keeps you guessing and casts its own little spell. It's an underground movie by a director just about to make his break into the mainstream – with another, more expensive and even trickier film called "Memento."
You might say that this daring precursor itself was a memento mori. What it reminds us is that, if you cross over the line too far, all kinds of unpleasantness, including death, may be just behind you, following. We start with a nervous young man in trouble (Jeremy Theobald as Bill) relating his story to a policeman. An impoverished writer, Bill has begun to play detective and to follow strangers in the streets of London, seemingly unobserved, as research for his writing. When one of his "subjects," a slick young operator named Cobb (Alex Haw), turns the tables and confronts his shadow in a coffee shop, Bill is pulled into Cobb's shady world, the life of a professional burglar.
Bill slides into that world, even changing his persona into something slicker and more Cobb-like, with disturbing ease. Also part of the action is a mysterious nameless blonde (Lucy Russell), who mingles with gangster types and may be involved with both Bill and Cobb. After Bill pursues the Blonde and catches her, bad things begin to happen, and out of chronological order. "Following," like Nolan's later work, is told in a non-linear fractured-chronology style.
In this moody, brainy thriller, the seeds of Nolan's later films ("Memento," "The Prestige," "Inception," and "The Dark Knight" trilogy) are nestled under the gritty, cheapo surface. There's everything Nolanesque here: alternate worlds, a life out of joint, time running backward, locks and keys, deception and betrayal. The film teases, tricks and gratifies us, the way a good thriller should.
It's an object lesson in how to wring cinema riches from practically nothing. Nolan, who also photographed "Following," gets monochrome images worthy of both '50s American noirs and the '60s French New Wave. The writing is sharp, literate and good at double-shuffling us. The acting is super (though only Russell went on later to a busy career). The movie doesn't really haunt your mind afterward and the last slamming door of the plot may feel too open-and-shut, but "Following" is a game worth playing.
Extras: Nolan's nifty1997 short "Doodlebug," a Mélièsian-Kafkaesque trick film also starring Theobald ("Doodlebug" is a definitive riposte to critics who think Nolan has no sense of humor). Commentary by and interview with Nolan. The second, chronological edit of "Following." Side-by-side comparison of Nolan's shooting script and film scenes. Trailers and booklet with an essay by Scott Foundas.

Oh that Lady Cory--did she have some jewelry or what? Here we see a brooch from Lady Cory's collection which was made in France between 1859 and 1865.
The piece is in the form of a sprig of holly, with leaves of enameled gold and berries of coral. Lady Cory was sure to wear this pretty pin at Christmastime.
