Pudget: Losing Weight On a Budget!: I Finally Did It! I Lost 50 Pounds!
I meant to write this post early this morning (make that yesterday morning) and then life got crazy and here I am at 12:55 a.m. finally writing my exciting news. As of today (yesterday), I have officially lost 50 pounds!
I know this sounds crazy but I was way more excited when I lost 40 pounds then when I lost 50. Maybe I am just too tired. :) Actually, I think I was more excited because I lost it a lot faster back then and the changes in my body were so much more noticeable.
I am absolutely thrilled to be able to say I lost 50 pounds. 50 pounds is a lot of weight to lose and honestly it doesn't seem real to me. It is almost as if I can't remember weighing 216.6 pounds. If I really think hard (or read my old blog posts) I can remember the way I felt back then and the struggles I had. But honestly this journey of losing weight has been so wonderful and eye opening in so many ways that it is hard to remember the bad times.
When I think back to the first day of my journey I remember thinking that the 150's seemed so far out of sight that it wasn't even worth thinking about them. It just made me more depressed. It is kind of funny now because really it wasn't that long ago that I had those thoughts and here I am only 6 pounds away from being in the 150's. That's amazing!
If you feel like I did when I started my weight loss journey please don't be discouraged. What seems to be completely out of reach really isn't. Just take it slow and enjoy the journey. Honestly, the journey has been the best part of my entire weight loss. If I would have magically lost 50 pounds over night I would have missed out on so much of my life. I would have missed so many learning experiences and so many opportunities to help others.
God has really opened my eyes while on this journey. He has taught me that I should never wish my life away in hopes of something "perfect". When I started losing weight I just wanted to have the magic pill so that I wouldn't have to suffer with being overweight anymore. I wanted the weight to just fall right off because I didn't think I could live another day, let alone another year, feeling the way I did about my weight and myself. Now I look back at everything I would have missed this past year and a half if I would have let my weight make me too miserable to live my life. I would have missed enjoying my girls growing from 9 months to over 2 years and my oldest from 4 1/2 to almost 6. I had so many great times throughout this journey because God allowed me to enjoy the ride and focus on the positive instead of the negative. God really opened my eyes to so many things that I never saw or thought of before. He has been with me every step of the way. God has so many great things planned for my life and I am ready to do whatever he has planned for me.
1. That swimming in the pool with my girls is way more important then worrying about how fat I look in a bathing suit.
2. My family is way more important to me then being skinny ever will be. 3. Life is way to short to worry about what people think about you.
4. God loves me no matter what I look like.
6. Don't shove cupcakes in your mouth every time you are stressed.
7. Don't ever let your hair hide your face (Thanks, Joy!).

16. My God is an Awesome God and he has been with me every step of my 50 pound weight loss journey!
17. Sometimes Chocolate Binges do happen no matter how hard you try to prevent them.
19. I love Pirate's Booty more then Cheetos.
20. Best Chocolate fix ever is a Sugar Free Jello Pudding Cup w/ 1 tsp of peanut butter mixed in.
21. Diet Pills are not for me. Never tried them, never will.
22. Eating healthy doesn't have to cost a fortune.
23. Rice cakes are gross!
24. I love to eat lean hamburger as much as possible.

35. My family loves when I get new things to sample.
36. With God anything is possible!
37. I really love my silly side!
38. I love eating healthy!
39. I love making new recipes.
40. # 1 new discovery are my smoothie recipes.
41. I can survive a day without chocolate.
42. You need to take baby steps.
43. Eat lots of fruits and veggies.
44. Always drink lots of water.
45. I love meeting new people.
47. I love to cook new low fat recipes and change them to be less costly.
48. Slow and Steady wins the race!
49. I only want God's will for my life.
50. Todd, Madelyn, Makayla, Mom, Dad, Heather, Sam, Kristin, Matt, Aunt Diana - You are the best family any woman could ask for. You were here for me every step of the way. You didn't laugh at me (not to my face anyway. LOL) when I posted my weight to the world. You supported every crazy thing I have ever done. You ate crazy recipes I experimented with. You exercised with me and encouraged me to keep going when I was feeling down. You have complemented me my entire journey and made me feel pretty on days I wasn't feeling it. You are all awesome and your support means more to me then you will ever know. I love all of you very much! Thanks for helping me through this journey. I couldn't have done it without you.
Congratulations! And can't wait to see the updated pic!

Thanks Aunt Diana! I love you too! I am coming to visit soon. I promise!
I missed that the first time. Great lessons learned. I hope to get to that loss one day.

Understanding cannabis pathogens with Dr. Matt Julius
Check out our latest interview with our CSO Dr. Matt Julius featured on MMJ Daily.
"Anytime you are growing something, your crops are susceptible to pathogens," Dr. Matt Julius, biology professor at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota and Chief Science Officer with CO2 GRO Inc., explains. "That's because bacteria, fungi, all of these seek exactly the same thing that we as human beings crave: nutrition, that is, energy." According to Matt, the cannabis plant is not necessarily more susceptible than other crops. However, there are many elements that factor into growing cannabis. "The main difference between medical cannabis and any other commercial crop is the end user these products are aimed for," he further explains. "When you are dealing with medicines, the care you need to put into crafting them is unmatched, compared to any other type of commercial crop."
Negative effects of pathogens This is why it is even more important to keep the crop safe from pathogens. "Generally speaking, things can end up two ways," Matt points out. "Either there is a risk that is going to directly kill your crop, or there is something on the crop that would cause you to destroy it. With regards to the latter, E.coli is an example of a bacteria that is not particularly dangerous for the plant per se, but rather it is extremely dangerous for humans. Therefore, crops contaminated with E.coli are definitely harmful for human consumption. On the other hand, pathogens like powdery mildew would physically harm the plant themselves, for instance."
Dr. Matt Julius
This is why cannabis growers are constantly looking for viable solutions to keep their cannabis crop healthy. "The most important thing is to have a proactive mindset," Matt says. "Once the pathogen is outside the plant, then it is totally possible to deal with that. However, when it gets inside the plant, then it is almost impossible to stop."
Commonplaces According to Matt, it's commonplace among growers to keep portions of the plant dry. "This is because pathogens need moisture to reproduce, they feed on that. If there is no moisture, then the bad cells cannot divide. Another common method is to keep the products dry, for instance. The problem with these approaches is that if a pathogen has got into the growing room, then it spreads all around through the air movement, which is always present in any cannabis operation, and that cannabis plants need to grow strong."
A misting solution This is the reason why CO2 GRO has developed a technology which helps the plant to grow healthier and stronger, and allows it to fight potentially harmful pathogens. "We have developed an aqueous misting solution which contains dissolved CO2," he explains. "When a small amount of our CO2 solution is precisely applied on the leaves, the pH of the plant sharply drops. As the CO2 is transferred into the leaf, the pH jumps back towards neutral. This drop and rebound in pH happen within 90 seconds of the aqueous CO2 solution being misted. Misting is done for about 10-15 seconds every 15 minutes during the light phase. Pathogens do not like such sudden changes, making it difficult for them to establish and spread. On the other hand, the plant would not be affected at all because both the drop in pH and additional moisture are only present for an incredibly short period of time, and does not harm the plant."
Such an organic solution is particularly suitable for the cannabis industry as end customers are generally very product-savvy. "Cannabis is a premium crop that people would pay more for if you can be chemical free," says Matt. "This is something you should expect, as people choosing these products do so for health benefits. Thus, they are going to be extremely focused on the chemicals that come with the growing and the processing."
The opportunities of the cannabis industry According to Matt, cannabis represents a nice opportunity to advance the agricultural sector as a whole. "We have done things in similar ways for thousands of years," he says. "We are witnessing a tech revolution, like the one that the pharma industry had. Cannabis can be a nice ground for academics and growers to join forces and to further push our possibilities. My role as Chief Scientific Officer is exactly to do research into these matters, and apply them into daily procedures."

Have you ever heard of a condition known as sciatica? Truth be told not many people are aware of this painfully odd condition that affects the nerves. Sciatica is a form of neuropathy. Neuropathy is a complex condition that can have an effect on the body's nervous system. Neuropathy can be considered a collection of disorders that develop when damaged to the peripheral nervous system occurs. The peripheral nervous system refers to the part of the nervous system outside of the brain and spinal cord; when damage occurs to the nerve cells or nerve axons, it is called peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy is a painful condition that can have an effect on an individual's life and their ability to maintain a normal active life.
Until pregnancy I had no clue as to what sciatica was and how this form of neuropathy could affect the body in such a tremendous way. The painful symptoms and sensations of sciatica can originate anywhere from the small are of the lower back, to running along the hip, and/or down the leg towards the ankle and into the foot. Additional symptoms of Sciatica can include tingling, burning sensations, difficulty walking, and in extreme cases even the inability to move the foot and/or knee. Symptoms such as these can have a huge effect on how one gets about throughout his or her day.
For me in my 8 month of pregnancy sciatica has greatly hindered my ability to walk and even get up out of bed. At night when I lay in bed I will start having extreme pain on one side on my body. The pain can be so severe that I am unable to move because I literally am unable to feel my leg. As I attempt to get up and walk around to change positions and work out the pain I struggle with feeling from my hip down. Sadly for me during pregnancy no medications are allowed to help ease my pain and discomfort so I have come to rely heavily on hot and cold therapy. Sciatica is nothing to play around with the pain is real and if you have experienced this difficult pain seek help and implement a treatment ASAP.

The Trip to Squash Land (1967)
1 min | Animation, Short
A super-sausage saves a bunny in Lars von Trier's directorial debut cardboard animation.
24 June 2014 | thefly50
| Pointless but shows talent
Lars von Trier is probably the most original and influential Danish director since Carl Theodor Dreyer. Most people have seen "Europa", "Dogville", "The Boss of it All", "Breaking the Waves" and other films he made, and his Dogme95 camera style is frequently used in films by many directors as a cost-saving technique. Most people don't know,but he made his directorial "debut" at the age of 11- with "The Trip to Squashland", a 2 minute stop-motion cardboard animation musical about about (I think) a super-sausage that saves rescues a bunny. Although frankly stupid and pointless, it shows some talent that will come into play about 10 years later when Trier made his college short "The Orchid Gardener", his graduation film "Images of a Relief", and the masterpieces we all (or at least some of us) know and love. Will I recommend Lars von Trier's first film? Yes, but not because of quality, rather because of the historical value. Hey, it's only 2 minutes.

Serious Skirts: Racism
March 10, 2008 @ 11:51 pm
I just finished watching Crash, which left me with quiet tears streaming down my face. For whatever reason, racism has always been a really hard thing for me to deal with. It's so hurtful and pointless; it always feels like we should be past this point by now. In fact, how did we even get to this point in the first place?
I became friends with a girl my first year at college who had been raised in a small town in Texas. There were very few black people in her town, and they all lived together in what was almost a separate community from the whites. The wall still stood in the forest outside the city limits from which blacks had been hung during the Civil War period. I still somehow assumed that she had, like everyone I had met thus far in life, not been affected by this history.
She was very conservative and had never really approved of all the time I spent with my Clubber boys on their dorm floor. But it wasn't until I started hanging out with a black guy that she really became vocal about her feelings. She quoted to me a passage from Scripture one night:
"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14).
She paraphrased, though, and told me that it wasn't right to be "unequally yoked" with a person of a different race.
I blinked.
It was very hard for me to keep from yelling at her in that moment, but I'm very glad I didn't. We eventually came to an agreement that the verse was not in support of racism. Sadly, that did very little to lessen her concern for me.
Eventually, I could no longer stand to be mature about the issue, so I came crying to her one day. I told her that I was pregnant and that my black friend was the father. I confirmed every single one of her fears before telling her I was lying. I walked out of the room and effectively walked out on the friendship. I will never forget the look on her face.
Before that experience, however, I had never encountered racism to that degree. My friends and I would exchange jokes about our various races, but they were never harmful or serious. In fact, it became tradition for me to "white-ify" the sayings of my best friend, Silky, all throughout high school. He came to school one morning telling everyone, "Slow yo' roll." I walked into school the following morning and told him, "Decelerate your biscuit." (Shut up. It took me a whole twenty-four hours to think that one up.)
But when faced with the harsh reality of how cruel people can be, I just don't know what to do other than cry. How are we not past this, world? Let's try being nice to one another, for a change.

Dress for Work Success: A Sample Business Casual Dress Code
Find a Guide to Proper Business Attire for a Business Casual Workplace
••• Hero Images/Hero Images/Getty Images
Are you interested in knowing what is appropriate for employees to wear in a business casual work setting? If you're like many employees, the worlds of casual and business casual work attire are a leap from the days when business formal was the norm in most workplaces. Wearing a suit and tie or a dress or skirted suit was once the norm in workplaces.
Gradually, however, the norm has become business casual in many workplaces especially in settings where customers and clients don't often visit. Formal still rules the day in many client-facing, trust-engendering industries such as law firms, banking, and investment advising. But, employees in offices, department stores, manufacturing, and retail industries dress in business casual clothing.
Employees Want to Wear Business Casual Attire
When it comes to office attire, employees want to dress more casually. In a survey performed by OfficeTeam, a subsidiary of Robert Half, 56% of employees surveyed said that they prefer more relaxed dress codes.
However, four in 10 employees (41%) also admitted that they're at least sometimes unsure about whether a piece of clothing is office-appropriate.
"As work attire skews more casual, the rules about acceptable office wear aren't always clear-cut," said Brandi Britton, a district president for OfficeTeam. Besides following official company policies, employees should pay attention to the wardrobes of managers and colleagues. If you're uncertain about whether it's okay to wear something to work, it's best to play it safe by skipping it."
Additionally, in another survey, OfficeTeam found, "Dressing up for work continues to go out of style. Half (50%) of senior managers interviewed said employees wear less formal clothing than they did five years ago. In addition, nearly one-third (31%) of office workers stated they would prefer to be at a company with a business casual dress code; 27% favor a casual dress code or no dress code at all.
Senior managers surveyed said the two most frequent violations of their business casual dress code policy are that employees dress too casually (47%) or that they display too much skin (32%).
If you want to eventually earn a promotion and become well thought of in your company, you do well to honor the prevailing dress code.
What managers and senior employees wear does set a standard that other employees will want to emulate.
Additionally, many employees keep articles of clothing at work that will elevate the professionalism of their business casual attire when appropriate for clients or customers. A common example is to dress business casual but keep a jacket hanging on the back of your door to wear when appropriate for events.
Business Casual Attire for Work
Here's a sample dress code for a business casual work environment. Use these guidelines as you dress for work or prepare your own work dress code. Employees appreciate knowing your expectations—if they exist, don't keep them secret.
As mentioned in the OfficeTeam survey results, employees are genuinely interested in wearing appropriate business attire for work. These detailed guidelines provided in this business casual dress code will help them make these decisions.
Have you implemented a dress code in the past that failed? This often happens when employees were not engaged and involved in setting up the rules. They also fail when they are managed and applied inconsistently.
Here's what you can do to make the new dress code succeed.
A Sample Business Casual Dress Code
Your Company's objective in establishing a business casual dress code is to allow our employees to work comfortably in the workplace. Yet, we still need our employees to project a professional image for our customers, potential employees, and community visitors. Business casual dress is the standard for this dress code.
Because all casual clothing is not suitable for the office, these guidelines will help you determine what is appropriate to wear to work. Clothing that works well for the beach, yard work, dance clubs, exercise sessions, and sports contests may not be appropriate for a professional appearance at work.
Clothing that reveals too much cleavage, your back, your chest, your feet, your stomach or your underwear is not appropriate for a place of business, even in a business casual setting.
Even in a business casual work environment, clothing should be pressed and never wrinkled. Torn, dirty, or frayed clothing is unacceptable. All seams must be finished. Any clothing that has words, terms, or pictures that may be offensive to other employees is unacceptable. Clothing that has the company logo is encouraged. Sports team, university, and fashion brand names on clothing are generally acceptable.
Certain days can be declared dress down days, generally Fridays. On these days, jeans and other more casual clothing, although never clothing potentially offensive to others, are allowed.
Guide to Business Casual Dressing for Work
This is a general overview of appropriate business casual attire. Items that are not appropriate for the office are listed, too. Neither list is all-inclusive and both are open to change. The lists tell you what is generally acceptable as business casual attire and what is generally not acceptable as business casual attire.

No dress code can cover all contingencies so employees must exert a certain amount of judgment in their choice of clothing to wear to work. If you experience an uncertainty about acceptable, professional business casual attire for work, please ask your supervisor or your Human Resources staff.
Slacks, Pants, and Suit Pants
Slacks that are similar to Dockers and other makers of cotton or synthetic material pants, wool pants, flannel pants, dressy capris, and nice-looking dress synthetic pants are acceptable. Inappropriate slacks or pants include jeans, sweatpants, exercise pants, Bermuda shorts, short shorts, shorts, bib overalls, leggings, and any spandex or other form-fitting pants such as people wear for biking.
Skirts, Dresses, and Skirted Suits
Casual dresses and skirts, and skirts that are split at or below the knee are acceptable. Dress and skirt length should be at a length at which you can sit comfortably in public. Short, tight skirts that ride halfway up the thigh are inappropriate for work. Mini-skirts, skorts, sundresses, beach dresses, and spaghetti-strap dresses are inappropriate for the office.
Shirts, Tops, Blouses, and Jackets
Casual shirts, dress shirts, sweaters, tops, golf-type shirts, and turtlenecks are acceptable attire for work. Most suit jackets or sports jackets are also acceptable attire for the office if they violate none of the listed guidelines.
Inappropriate attire for work includes tank tops; midriff tops; shirts with potentially offensive words, terms, logos, pictures, cartoons, or slogans; halter-tops; tops with bare shoulders; sweatshirts, and t-shirts unless worn under another blouse, shirt, jacket, or dress.
Conservative athletic or walking shoes, loafers, clogs, sneakers, boots, flats, dress heels, and leather deck-type shoes are acceptable for work. Wearing no stockings is acceptable in warm weather. Flashy athletic shoes, thongs, flip-flops, slippers, and any shoe with an open toe are not acceptable in the office. Closed-toe and closed-heel shoes are required in the manufacturing operation area.
Jewelry, Makeup, Perfume, and Cologne
Should be in good taste, with limited visible body piercing. Remember, that some employees are allergic to the chemicals in perfumes and make-up, so wear these substances with restraint.
Hats and Head Covering
Hats are not appropriate in the office. Headcovers that are required for religious purposes or to honor cultural traditions are allowed.
If clothing fails to meet these standards, as determined by the employee's supervisor and Human Resources staff, the employee will be asked not to wear the inappropriate item to work again. If the problem persists, the employee may be sent home to change clothes and will receive a verbal warning for the first offense. All other policies about personal time use will apply. Progressive disciplinary action will be applied if dress code violations continue.

Magic Lantern (o semplicemente ML) è un modulo firmware per DSLR Canon EOS che permette di espandere le funzionalità della fotocamera.
E' un software open source realizzato da un gruppo di sviluppatori noto come A1ex indipendente da Canon ed è rilasciato sotto licenza GPL.
Magic Lantern non sostituisce il firmware originario Canon, piuttosto ne costituisce un modulo aggiuntivo che si può installare e disinstallare con facilità, ed una volta installato, interviene solo quando richiamato tramite l'apposito comando. La natura modulare, escludibile e reversibile del modulo ha invitato molti utenti EOS a tentare l'installazione e l'utilizzo del software ed ha contribuito a decretarne il successo.
Ma il motivo principale del successo è nelle funzionalità che Magic Lantern abilita sulle fotocamere.
Sviluppato a partire dal 2009 da Trammel Hudson inizialmente per la Canon EOS 5D Mark II, è attualmente disponibile per molti modelli Canon della serie EOS. L'intento iniziale era di dotare la 5D di funzionalità utili ai videomaker, successivamente lo sviluppo ha portato funzionalità aggiuntive anche per la fotografia.

Disponibilità
Le fotocamere per cul ML è attualmente disponibile sono:

 5D Mark III
 5D Mark II
 6D
 7D
 60D
 50D
 700D
 650D
 600D
 550D
 1100D
 EOS M

Per alcuni modelli più recenti il software non è del tutto maturo ed alcune funzionalità non sono abilitate, ma il processo di sviluppo prosegue e la maggior parte dei modelli elencati dispone di una versione matura e stabile del modulo.
Per altri modelli il modulo è previsto un imminente rilascio.

Caratteristiche
Le principali caratteristiche sono:
 controllo fine del guadagno audio
 visualizzazione dei livelli di ingresso audio
 monitoraggio dell'audio tramite la presa cuffia
 registrazione dell'audio in formato WAV
 controllo fine del bilanciamento del bianco
 informazioni aggiuntive sullo schermo per l'esposizione: zebra, focus peaking, magic zoom, istogramma RGB
 controllo fine del bitrate H264 e del framerate
 registrazione compatibile con HDR video
 registrazione in video RAW a 14 bit non compressi
 estensione delle capacità di bracketing
 intervallometro integrato
 estensione delle capacità di messa a fuoco: trap focus, follow focus, rack focus, ecc.

Di queste caratteristiche, la più importante per i videomaker è senz'altro la possibilità di registrare in video RAW. Questa caratteristica permette ampie possibilità di elaborazione digitale delle immagini in post-produzione tramite i software di montaggio video.

Garanzia originaria Canon
Sebbene la installazione e disinstallazione di ML siano attività semplici, c'è una contenuta probabilità che durante questi processi si verifichino errori e conseguenti danni anche irreparabili alla fotocamera.
Canon non ha rilasciato specifiche dichiarazioni sull'utilizzo di moduli firmware di terze parti e su eventuali implicazioni in materia di garanzia. In risposta ad alcune richieste via e-mail Canon ha affermato che la garanzia non copre danni causati da firmware di terze parti, tuttavia altri malfunzionamenti non correlati al firmware restano coperti da garanzia anche in presenza di firmware di terze parti.

Impressive talk! Great slides and I learned a lot of new things again.
Do mark this talk as an advanced talk when submitting to conferences. When you don't have a skilled audience, you will loose people while talking I think.
Very impressive talk, nice content and slides supports the whole story. Like the combination of seriousness and humorous moments during the talk.
Rafael is used of speaking and I like to see more of him at major conferences.
I liked that you explained the "what" and "why" before diving into the "how".
Also, beautiful slides! Good engagement with the audience as well.
If you are already familiar with annotations, Rafael will open your world by showing how you can program and use them yourself.
Great and animated talk. Almost lost you with the filters ;), but very interesting. You can keep the audience interested by combining the technical parts with humour. The sheets are also very supportive.
Nice topic to provide people with new possibilities.

Q: Tensoring $k[x] \otimes_k k[y]$ Recalling result of tensor product of polynomial rings and Does the isomorphism $k[x]\otimes_k k[x]\cong k[x,y]$ hold? suggest that $k[x] \otimes_k k[y] = k[x,y]$.
I am sure that this is true if the tensor product is being done over $k[x,y]$. However, in $k[x] \otimes_k k[y]$ we have the non-equal tensors $x \otimes y$ and $ y \otimes x$. My confusion is that if I map $k[x] \times k[y] \to k[x,y]$, this factors through $k[x] \otimes_k k[y]$ with kernel containing $x \otimes y - y \otimes x$. Help?

A: The tensor product over the field $k$ is the coproduct in the category of commutative $k$-algebras. This means that you are given maps $k[x] \to k[x] \otimes_k k[y]$ and $k[y] \to k[x] \otimes_k k[y]$, both given by $f(x) \mapsto f(x) \otimes 1$ and $g(y) \mapsto 1 \otimes g(y)$. Since you have inclusion maps $k[x] \to k[x,y]$ and $k[y] \to k[x,y]$, the universal property of the coproduct tells you that you get a map
$$
k[x] \otimes_k k[y] \to k[x,y], \quad f(x) \otimes g(y) \mapsto f(x) g(y).
$$
(The point of all this blabla is to show that this map is well-defined because you have to worry about this when defining maps where the domain is a tensor product. You could also do it "by hand", i.e. defining the corresponding $k$-balanced map and using the universal property of the tensor product.)
Can you show that this map is an isomorphism? (Hint : find the inverse map using the fact that $\{ f(x) g(y) \, | \, f(x) \in k[x], g(y) \in k[y] \}$ spans $k[x,y]$ as a $k$-vector space.)
Hope that helps,

Cynthia Dunbar: New Texas Science Text a Trojan Horse For Common Core, "Socialized Education"
Brantley Hargrove
Brantley Hargrove | November 27, 2013 | 4:26pm
Texas is one of a handful of states that hasn't adopted the coming Common Core curriculum standards, but former State Board of Education member Cynthia Dunbar nonetheless believes that the creep of "socialized education" is apparent in a new environmental science text.
In an innuendo-heavy segment that could be debunked with the most cursory Google search, she told Fox News' Steve Doocy the textbook approved by the SBOE may be evidence of publishers "gearing" their products toward Common Core, which hasn't been implemented yet. She pointed to the complaints of a petroleum geologist and Railroad Commission of Texas candidate Becky Berger, who submitted some vague, 11th-hour testimony about the "misleading" depictions of climate change, and an allegedly negative discussion of fracking. The publisher agreed to some very minor changes to mollify conservatives on the SBOE, but nothing as substantive as Berger claimed.
That her objections -- which she admitted were based on two-hours worth of research -- weren't implemented in full led Doocy and Dunbar to conclude that she was being persecuted for running as a Republican, somehow, before an SBOE that is controlled by Republicans.

NYT Indulges Palestinian 'Protest Songs' Encouraging Stabbing of Jews
Clay Waters
Jodi Rudoren and Rami Nazzal reported from the West Bank on the front page of Friday's New York Times: "Palestinians Set Their Rage to Violent Beat." The worst thing that Rudoren, the Jerusalem bureau chief, and Nazzal had to say about a new rash of "protest songs" (!) by Palestinians celebrating the stabbing of Jews is that they are "blunt" and "weak musically." (A sample lyric: "Stab, stab the…
NYT's Rudoren Shifts Stabbing Blame From Palestinians to Israel
Jodi Rudoren, the New York Times Jerusalem bureau chief whose reporting is heavily slanted toward the Palestinian cause and hostile toward Israel, made Sunday's front page with "East Jerusalem, Bubbling Over With Despair – The Frustration Behind a Series of Stabbings," which blamed Israel-fueled "frustration and alienation" for the "uprising." Rudoren's twisted priorities are evident both in the…
NY Times Again Dismissive of Jewish Victims of Palestinian Violence
October 15th, 2015 9:52 AM
Once again, the New York Times took sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, being dismissive of Jewish victims of Palestinian violence. Isabel Kershner reported from Jerusalem on the wave of stabbings of Israelis by Palestinians under the headline "Israeli Retaliatory Strike in Gaza Kills Woman and Child, Palestinians Say." There is an extremely strange emphasis in both that headline (what,…
Netanyahu Wins Easily, New York Times Writers Spill Vitriol
March 19th, 2015 12:00 AM
The morning after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's surprisingly easy victory against left-wing opposition, the New York Times was still sore. Columnist Thomas Friedman: "It is hard to know what is more depressing: that Netanyahu went for the gutter in the last few days in order to salvage his campaign -- renouncing his own commitment to a two-state solution with the Palestinians and…
In NY Times, Bitter Israel Bureau Chief Slams Netanyahu's 'Racist' Win
Jodi Rudoren, the Jerusalem bureau chief for the New York Times, is often criticized as anti-Israel and hostile in particular to conservative Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the wake of a tighter-than-expected reelection campaign and Netanyahu's controversial speech to Congress, in which he warned of the dangers of a nuclear Iran, the Times truly "doubled down" on its hostility, accusing…
NYT's Public Editor's Sad Joke: Paper Is Fair with Israel Coverage
November 24th, 2014 8:56 AM
New York Times Public Editor Margaret Sullivan reluctantly waded into the paper's coverage of the Israel-Palestinian conflict in her latest Sunday column, relaying criticism from both sides before throwing up her hands and defending her paper as fair and balanced. But anyone who's read Jerusalem bureau chief Jodi Rudoren's coverage knows that's a sad joke.
NYT's Rudoren Commits Offensive Analysis After Anti-Jewish Massacre
More offensive anti-Israel moral equivalence in Wednesday's New York Times. Jewish worshipers were massacred by Palestinians while at prayer in synagogue in Jerusalem. Yet Palestinians evaded blame in the headline of the lead story by Jodi Rudoren and Isabel Kershner: "Israel Shaken by 5 Deaths in Synagogue Assault." But Rudoren's news analysis was even worse, blaming "extremists on both sides"…
NYT Blames Hamas, Israel Equally For End of Cease-Fire; Story Ignores
Tom Blumer
Over at Hot Air on Tuesday night, Mary Katharine Ham pointed to a headline at the New York Times, present at its web home page as well as at the story itself, which equally blames Hamas and Israel for the end of their cease-fire: "Rockets From Gaza and Israeli Response Break Cease-Fire." Someone needs to tell Isabel Kershner and Jodi Rudoren that it's the "rockets from Gaza" which broke the…
Peculiar: New York Times Reporters Stick Up for Hamas on Social Media
As a 72-hour ceasefire takes hold in Israel, New York Times Gaza-based reporters remain locked in a peculiar moral equivalency between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas bent on the nation's destruction, with reporters taking pains on social media and television to stick up for Hamas, dismissing the idea of Hamas harassment of journalists as "nonsense," and even criticizing Hillary Clinton…
No Cease-Fire on Anti-Israel Attacks From the NY Times, Which Claims D
August 7th, 2014 7:01 AM
As a ceasefire takes hold in Israel, a review of the most recent New York Times coverage of the conflict shows old anti-Israel patterns die hard, with the paper's Jerusalem bureau chief bizarrely suggesting that "in Israel, open discourse and dissent appear to be among the casualties of the monthlong war in Gaza." No mention was made of the violent threats made by the Hamas dictatorship against…
More Emotional Anti-Israel Slant from the New York Times: 'A Wave of T
As the fighting rages on in Israel, the New York Times again showed its anti-Israel slant in two days of stories that went beyond dispassionate journalism and into emotional manipulation. Times readers on Monday were greeted with a large front-page photo of a Palestinian man carrying an injured child. Also on Monday's front: Ben Hubbard and Jodi Rudoren's "Questions of Weapons and Warnings in…
NYT's Kirkpatrick Bizarrely Suggests Lack of Support for Hamas by Arab
July 31st, 2014 10:46 PM
New York Times Cairo bureau chief David Kirkpatrick's front-page story on Thursday, "Arab Leaders, Viewing Hamas as Worse Than Israel, Stay Silent," appeared under a sympathy-inducing photo of a shattered United Nations school allegedly hit by an Israeli shell, while Kirkpatrick's story tried to induce sympathy toward Hamas, abandoned by Egypt and Saudi Arabia, its erstwhile allies in the fight…
NYT Hits 'Dehumanization' of Palestinians, Ignores Years of 'Apes, Pig
July 21st, 2014 10:47 AM
Jerusalem bureau chief Jodi Rudoren's front-page Monday story, "In the Battleground of Words, Hatred and Muddied Reality," strived for a tone of equal blame and moral equivalency, dubious enough when talking about a war started by the anti-Israel terrorist group Hamas. Yet Rudoren clearly slanted against Israel in her unbalanced condemnations of rhetoric vs. reality in the region, claiming…
More Miserable Anti-Israel Bias from the New York Times
July 18th, 2014 7:23 AM
The New York Times' coverage of the ongoing situation in Israel, which began with the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers, continued this past week to be marked by intense anti-Israel bias in tone and labeling, and overwhelming emotionalism over the deaths of Palestinian civilians in the crossfire (Israeli deaths from terrorism rarely if ever merited such heart-felt treatment).…

Q: \nocite-like macro for \footfullcite in beamer Is there any macro similar to the behavior of \nocite?, in the sense of printing an entry of the bibliography, but for putting the citation verbatim in the footnote, similar to \footfullcite but without the footnote superscript somewhere in the slide, and that works on beamer.
I want to show some reference in the bottom of a slide, but I don't want to put a reference number in particular in the slide. Instead, I want the reference to be just in the bottom of the slide (as a footnote).
I went through the biblatex manual without luck. Any ideas or suggestions?

A: If by "reference number" you mean the footnote mark, you can define a variant of \footfullcite that suppresses the mark:
\newrobustcmd*{\footfullcitenomark}{%
  \AtNextCite{%
    \let\thefootnote\relax
    \let\mkbibfootnote\mkbibfootnotetext}%
  \footfullcite}

Here's an example demonstrating two variants - one that only suppresses the mark and another that prints the footnote without any indentation.
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{biblatex}

\newrobustcmd*{\footfullcitenomark}{%
  \AtNextCite{%
    \let\thefootnote\relax
    \let\mkbibfootnote\mkbibfootnotetext}%
  \footfullcite}

% based on default footnote template from beamerinnerthemedefault.sty
\defbeamertemplate*{footnotetext}{default}{%
  %\parindent 1em\noindent%
  \raggedright
  %\hbox to 1.8em{\hfil\insertfootnotemark}%
  \insertfootnotetext\par}

\newrobustcmd*{\footfullcitenomarkleft}{%
  \AtNextCite{%
    \setbeamertemplate{footnote}{\usebeamertemplate{footnotetext}}%
    \let\mkbibfootnote\mkbibfootnotetext}%
  \footfullcite}

RME make some of the best audio interfaces for your computer. Buy one of their products, plug it in, and it will just work, at the highest possible standards for the money. Their drivers are the bomb and provide features unheard of in other products. I use their Multiface and now there is an improved model, the Multiface II, which is so new that it's not even on their home page yet!
* The headphone output is improved to 119 dBA signal-to-noise ratio and has a volume control. It's a little-known fact that the headphone output has a better spec than any other output on the box! Maybe you should wire this to your monitors?
* The internal power supply has been improved.
* The analog inputs have increased signal-to-noise ratio by 10 dB, and lowered THD as well.
* The analog output stages likewise have lower THD.
* There are switches on the front of the unit to change the reference level of the inputs and outputs. This previously required opening the unit for a jumper change.
* The little-used ADAT Sync interface has been removed from the back of the unit in order to increase socket spacing.
Otherwise this is the same beast, completely compatible with existing firmware and software, and at the same price as before. I can easily find it for €685 (or €859 including the PCI card interface).
For some that looks like a lot of money. But this is a 36-channel 24-bit/96kHz interface with eight analog inputs, ADAT digital I/O, SPDIF digital I/O, and even MIDI. Best of all, it can operate at absolutely minimal latency on even older-generation computers.
As a bonus, you can get a CardBus interface and use the same Multiface with your laptop.


With summer just around the corner, you may be planning a fun vacation with your dog. But how will you ensure they arrive safely and in style? Start with a dog travel crate!
Travel crates provide a safe, enclosed space for your dog to travel in comfort. They provide necessary security in the car or on the plane and can double as a crate at your destination.
Size. It should be big enough for your dog to sit, stand, and turn around in, but small enough to keep them secure. Generally, travel crates should be no more than six inches longer than your dog.
Style. Soft-sided travel crates are great for airplane carry-on. Heavy-duty plastic or luggage-grade nylon crates are best for cars.
Safety. However you plan to travel with your dog, their crate should securely enclose them and protect them from potential accidents.
Situation. Some crates are better for air travel, while others are appropriate for car travel. That's why we've separated out our recommendations below.
Your dog should always be restrained in the car, whether with a travel crate or doggy seatbelt. We recommend choosing a product that's been crash-tested by the Center for Pet Safety. Note: for large dogs, there are fewer options for crash-tested travel crates, so we also suggest safety harnesses.
If you're headed on a road trip this summer, these dog travel crates for the car are your best bet.
One of the most popular travel crates on the market, the Sleepypod combines the features of hard-sided and soft-sided crates for a car-friendly, dog-friendly travel experience. All Sleepypod products have passed the Center for Pet Safety crash testing. They're best for small dogs weighing up to 15 pounds.
To learn more about what Sleepypod offers the dog parent on the go, we have a full review of their carriers and harnesses here.
It may look tough. That's because it is. The Gunner Kennel is made from heavy-duty, double-walled molded plastic. Best of all, it has a five-star rating for crash safety from the Center For Pet Safety and offers safety for dogs up to 75 pounds. That makes it the safest large dog travel crate available. The Gunner Kennel is expensive, but it offers priceless peace of mind.
This soft-sided, shoulder-carry style dog travel crate works in cars and planes. It uses your car's existing seatbelt with heavy-duty latches to keep the crate in place. And, it's made from industrial-grade nylon with heavy-duty hardware, built to hold its structure and last a lifetime.
Our bargain pick for a dog travel crate, this basic pet kennel isn't crash-rated, but it's still a good way to secure your dog and prevent distraction on the road. Plus, it can be used as a carrier for vet visits and other outings. Just be sure to secure it with safety straps (not included) and a seat belt in the car.
Flying with your dog can be stressful, but the right plane carrier makes all the difference. Our top picks are all designed to meet the requirements of the TSA and most airlines (but you should always double-check with your airline before traveling).
Note: traveling in the cargo area can be scary and even dangerous for dogs. In fact, some airlines don't allow it due to liability concerns. Our air travel crate recommendations are for smaller dogs traveling with you in the cabin. But if you have to fly your larger dog, we suggest using airline-approved crates. Click here for more tips on flying with your dog.
The second Sleepypod product on our list, this carrier is custom-built for air travel. It contracts to fit in the space below most airline seats during takeoff and landing, and can be expanded while in the air to give your dog more space.
This simple, classic dog travel crate is the official pet carrier of Delta airlines. But of course, it works for other airlines, too! It's TSA approved and the perfect size and shape for most under-seat storage.
Designed with your pet's and your comfort in mind, this backpack is easy to carry and airline-approved.
This clever, stylish dog travel crate meets airline regulations to fit under the seat but has a zip-out mesh section that expands to give your pup extra space in-flight. It's made from attractive, durable nylon, with mesh windows for ventilation and a view.


Adjoint-state methods (ASMs) have proven successful for calculating the gradients of the functionals commonly found in geophysical inverse problems. The 3D image-domain formulation of the seismic velocity estimation problem uses imperfections in 3D migrated images to form an objective function, which is minimized using a combined ASM plus line-search approach. While image-domain methods are less sensitive than their data-domain counterparts because they are based largely on wavefield kinematics and not directly matching amplitudes, they are more robust to poorer starting models, which makes them attractive for the early stages of seismic velocity estimation. For time-lapse (4D) seismic scenarios, we show that the 3D ASM approach can be be extended to multiple datasets to offer high-quality estimates of production- and/or injection-induced subsurface change. We discuss two different penalty operators that lead to what we term absolute and relative inversion strategies. The absolute approach straightforwardly uses the difference of two independent 3D inversions to estimate a 4D slowness perturbation. The relative approach directly incorporates the baseline image into the penalty function to highlight where the baseline and monitor images are different and to mask where they are similar - even if reflectors are imperfectly focused. Both these techniques yield good 4D slowness estimates for synthetic data; however, we assert that the relative approach is more robust and preferable to the absolute strategy in the presence of 4D field noise because it represents a less-demanding inversion goal.
Wavefield tomography represents a family of velocity model building techniques based on seismic waveforms as the input and seismic wavefields as the information carrier. For wavefield tomography implemented in the image domain, the objective function is designed to optimize the coherency of reflections in extended common-image gathers. This function applies a penalty operator to the gathers, thus highlighting image inaccuracies due to the velocity model error. Uneven illumination is a common problem for complex geological regions, such as subsalt. Imbalanced illumination results in defocusing in common-image gathers regardless of the velocity model accuracy. This additional defocusing violates the wavefield tomography assumption stating that the migrated images are perfectly focused in the case of the correct model and degrades the model reconstruction. We address this problem by incorporating the illumination effects into the penalty operator such that only the defocusing due to model errors is used for model construction. This method improves the robustness and effectiveness of wavefield tomography applied in areas characterized by poor illumination. The Sigsbee synthetic example demonstrates that velocity models are more accurately reconstructed by our method using the illumination compensation, leading to more coherent and better focused subsurface images than those obtained by the conventional approach without illumination compensation.
Time-lapse analysis of 4D seismic data acquired at different stages of hydrocarbon production or fluid/gas injection has been very successful at capturing detailed reservoir changes (e.g., pressure, saturation, fluid flow). Conventionally, 4D seismic analysis is performed in the time-migrated domain assuming a fixed migration velocity model; however, this scenario is violated when the subsurface velocity is significantly altered by production/injection effects resulting in large time-shift anomalies and complex 4D wavefield coda. For these scenarios we argue that one should use a robust 4D analysis procedure involving iterative wave-equation prestack depth migration and time-lapse velocity analysis. We adapt 3D image-domain wave-equation migration velocity analysis (WEMVA) to such time-lapse scenarios to backproject discrepancies (residuals) in migrated baseline, monitor, and time-lapse images to estimate 4D velocity model perturbations. We highlight the differences between the 3D and 4D WEMVA inversion problems, and how we constrain 4D perturbation estimates to preferentially be updated within the reservoir zone. We demonstrate the benefits of various 4D WEMVA strategy in a set of synthetic experiments that involve estimating time-lapse model perturbations arising from a thin layer (<20m) of injected CO2 in a North Sea analogue reservoir.

Things change when parents separate and it can be a confusing time for everyone – especially kids. Now that you have two homes, your Mum and Dad need to decide about things like where you live, when you will spend time with each of them, what you will do in the holidays and so on.
When parents can't agree, they go to a family consultant at the Court to help them work things out.
This is what your parents have done. Family consultants also talk to kids.
What is a Family Consultant?
Family consultants help kids and Mums and Dads solve problems. Lots of families see family consultants.
tell the judge what you want.
How much you say to the family consultant is up to you, but it's okay to say what you think.
Lots of children worry that they will have to choose between their parents or have to talk about upsetting things.
You don't have to say anything you don't want to – and you won't have to choose between your Mum and Dad.
You can tell the family consultant if you are worried that what you say will upset your Mum or Dad. You and the family consultant will then work out the best way to tell your parents what you want them to know.
Who gets to know what I say?
After speaking to you, the family consultant will talk with your Mum and Dad about your feelings and ideas. They will then work with your Mum and Dad to try and decide what should happen next. If they can't agree, a judge will decide what will be best for your family.
Before the judge can decide, he or she will want the family consultant to write a report about your family. This is called a Family Report. The report will include information from your talk with the family consultant, including how you are thinking and feeling. You can ask the family consultant what is going to be in the report. Your Mum and Dad will also read the report. If you are worried what they will think when they read the report, tell the family consultant.
You will not have to choose between your Mum and Dad.
If you are worried that what you will say might upset your Mum and Dad, tell the family consultant first. You and the family consultant can then work out a way to tell your parents what you want them to know.
Kids don't go into the courtroom so it's the family consultant's job to tell the judge what is important to you.
When parents separate, it is a confusing time for everyone. Remember you are not alone.
What does a judge do?
Parents talk to the judge in a courtroom. The courtroom is not a place for kids, so it's the family consultant's job to tell the judge what is important to you. The judge reads the Family Report carefully. The judge also has many other things to think about before deciding what is best for you and your family.
It can be a hard time for you and your family while you wait to find out what the judge decides.
After the judge decides, there might be some changes in your family – or things may stay the same.

Der Miethe-Gletscher ist ein 5 km langer Gletscher an der Danco-Küste des Grahamlands im Norden der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Er fließt in nordwestlicher Richtung zur Thomas Cove an der Gerlache-Straße, die er unmittelbar südlich des Mount Banck erreicht.

Erstmals verzeichnet ist der Gletscher auf einer argentinischen Landkarte aus dem Jahr 1952. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte ihn 1960 nach dem deutschen Chemiker Adolf Miethe (1862–1927), der 1903 als Erster panchromatische Emulsion zur Sensibilisierung fotografischer Platten verwendet hatte.

Monthly Supply Chain Review: April
Welcome to our April edition of the Monthly Supply Chain Review. It's been a busy month and a busy first quarter of 2016:
In transportation and automotive news, VW reached an agreement in the U.S. regarding its emissions cheating scandal. While many details remain undisclosed until later in the year, estimated costs for the company have come in near $18 billion, not including fines and other costs. The process is ongoing and continues affecting consumers and dealers.
The world of ride-sharing has also had its share of developments. Sharing-economy pioneer Uber has reached a settlement with drivers. While those working for Uber will remain independent contractors rather than employees, they will gain the right to unionize as well as solicit tips from riders. To what extent will this change the company's relationship to consumers—and what might lie ahead for similar companies?
Beyond transportation, disruptive technologies have also affected policing and criminal justice. Though the FBI stepped down in its attempt to force Apple to bypass its own security systems by breaking into the iPhone of the San Bernardino shooter, it hired an independent contractor to perform the task. This month the FBI director disclosed an estimated $1.3 million payday to the still anonymous hacker; and questions begin to emerge not only about the balance of privacy and public safety, but also about what precedent this sets for future searches.
Sears, Sports Chalet, and numerous other retailers have scaled back or made announcements that they will be closing down this year. To what extent does this mark the end of big-box and department style stores, and to what extent are Millenials driving the change in what constitutes success for retailers?
To end on a high note, first time unemployment claims have dropped to their lowest levels since 1973.How will this shape the remainder of the economic year?

Israeli ministers defy Netanyahu over settlement evacuation
A boy stands at the front gate of a home in the Jewish settler outpost of Amona in the West Bank, during an event organised to show support for Amona, that was built without Israeli state authorisation and which Israel's high court ruled must be evacuated and demolished by the end of the year as it is built on privately-owned Palestinian land, October 20, 2016.

An Israeli ministerial committee on Sunday defied Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and voted to support a bill to allow settlers in the occupied West Bank to remain in homes built on privately owned Palestinian land.
Israel's Supreme Court had ruled the government must evacuate a few dozen families from the Amona settlement and return the land to its Palestinian owners but right-wing lawmakers want to pay them compensation instead and allow the settlers to stay.
The government has sought an extension for the end-of-year evacuation so it can find somewhere else for settlers to live, but the lawmakers who support the settlers' wish to remain, presented the bill to try to circumvent the ruling.
Israel's attorney-general, Avihai Mandelblit, said in a statement that the bill was legally flawed in its current form as it contravened private property rights legislation and did not tally with Israel's international law commitments.
"The attorney-general told the committee that the bill does not sit with the basic principles of the rule of law as it contradicts the position that the state must respect the judiciary's decisions in individual cases," Mandelblit said.
Israel has occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem since the 1967 Middle East war. Palestinians want those territories along with the Gaza Strip for a state but peace talks have stalled since 2014.
The Palestinians see Israeli settlements as a major obstacle to reaching a peace agreement and want them dismantled.
Netanyahu had insisted on delaying any political move and told his cabinet on Sunday to allow the new administration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to take over in Washington before setting future policy.
Netanyahu last week expressed confidence that he and Trump could work together to bring U.S.-Israeli relations to "new heights".
The administration of President Barack Obama has been highly critical of Israel's settlement policies.
But Education Minister Naftali Bennett and Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked from the ultra-nationalist Jewish Home party, partners in Netanyahu's right-wing coalition, ignored his call to postpone the vote.
Following authorisation of the private members' bill in committee, it now heads to parliament on Wednesday where it will be debated but it is still some distance from becoming law.
The committee also voted to support a bill to enforce lowering the volume of loudspeakers in mosques calling worshippers to prayer which Arab-Israeli lawmakers described as racist.
Netanyahu said the bill would improve the quality of life for all Israelis, who he said had complained to him about "excessive noise coming from housesof worship."
Nabil Abu Rdainah, a spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said that enacting both laws would force the Palestinians to appeal to international bodies.

$100K bond for dad who allegedly bound, gagged little girl
Investigators say Andre Curry, 21, who is charged with aggravated domestic battery, used duct tape to hold the 1-year-old in place. The photo reportedly showed the tape around her wrists, ankles and over her mouth.
In court Wednesday, a judge ordered a $100,000 bond for Curry and told him that while the case is pending, he cannot have contact with his daughter or any other children under 18.
"Based on the information that we have received, we felt that the appropriate charges were aggravated domestic battery. I can't go any further than that," said Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez.
The Facebook photo, which has since been removed, appeared on websites like TheSmokingGun.com. ABC7 shot the photo on that website but have blurred out the girl's face so she cannot be recognized.
In court, prosecutors said Curry used blue duct tape to bound his daughter's feet, hands, and cover her mouth. They said he then took his cell phone, snapped the picture and put it on Facebook with a caption that reads, "This is wut happens wen my baby hits me back. ;)"
Public defender Anand Sundaram told the judge that this case has been "thrown out of proportion." He went on to argue that Curry has no criminal history and has a job working at the chain restaurant Applebees to support his daughter. Instead of bond, the public defender asked that Curry be released and tracked with an electronic monitoring device.
Curry lives with relatives at a South Side home on 97th Place, but no one answered the door Wednesday. One neighbor, who asked not to be identified, called Curry a loving father who would not hurt his daughter. "No, he wouldn't do anything to hurt the baby. That was just some little prank, joke that he was showing on Facebook to his little friends. That's all," said the neighbor, who has known Curry since childhood. "He had no intent to hurt that baby." She said what Curry did was stupid but not criminal.
The Department of Children and Family Services is conducting its own investigation. DCFS says it had no prior contact with Curry or the girl's family.
Relatives are taking care of the little girl.
