For one of these teams, this game matters. For the other, it's nothing more than a game of "pride" (if that still means anything in today's day and age). Let's dig into the Thursday Night Football affair and see what's what. Markets This is an interesting point spread to break down. A week ago the Bengals were -4 favorites in the Vegas look-ahead line. After what happened over the weekend, the books re-opened it at -3. That's a pretty significant adjustment as they went off one key number and onto another. The betting markets disagreed and money has consistently come in on the favorite since Sunday. Right now it sits at -4 to -5, depending on where you shop (odds from SBRforum). Worth Mentioning Houston Texans vs New England Patriots Betting Odds and Preview This is a game I've been looking forward to for months. I've picked the Texans quite a bit this season. Despite being one of the best teams in the NFL, they continue to cover point spreads as a favorite. That mettle will be put to the test this week when they travel for a tough road game. MarketsThe look-ahead line had the Patriots favored by -5. After the weekend they re-opened them at -4.5. Fast forward to today and we've seen somewhat of a surprising move on New England. Right now the line sits at -5.5 (odds from SBRforum). Atlanta Falcons vs Carolina Panthers Betting Odds and Preview Are the Atlanta Falcons for real? Are the Panthers better than their record? Let's dive into these questions and preview more Week 14 action. MarketsFirst off, this line is on the verge of moving off the key number of "3". It sits at -3.[[phy_address]] so you can still get an affordable -3 for a little extra juice (odds from SBRforum).The line movement on this game was small, but significant. In the look-ahead line Vegas was putting up -2.5, but after the results in Week 13 it re-opened at -3. Money has steadily come in on the Falcons, which is the smart thing to do. For whatever reason that I'm still not aware, the so-called sharp minds out there have been fading Atlanta all season. Well guess what experts, they are 7-4-1 ATS this season. Do they have flaws? Yes, every team does. That shouldn't undermind what they've accomplished so far or undermine what they are good at. I'll lay the field goal and trust the mismatches. St Louis Rams vs Buffalo Bills Betting Odds and Preview Have the Bills turned the corner? Are the Rams on the verge of a flat performance after riding high vs the 49ers? Let's see how it will shake out. MarketsThe standard consensus regarding home field advantage lies somewhere around 2.5/3 points on the point spread. Of course not all home fields are equal, but is Vegas trying to tell us these teams are even on a neutral field? If so, I'm more than happy to grab a full field goal with the Rams.In fact, nothing that happened on the weekend seemed to change bookmakers minds either. The look ahead line also had the Bills -3 (odds from SBRforum). If I had to set this line I'd make Buffalo -1 to -1.5 point favorites. There were signs early in the season where it looked like the Rams were going to have a home/road dichotomy this year, but they've bucked the trend and currently sit at 4-[[phy_address]] I'll take it. Dallas Cowboys vs Cincinnati Bengals Betting Odds and Preview The Dallas Cowboys are in the middle of another disappointing season. Meanwhile, the Bengals are riding on a surprising hot streak. Should we expect much of the same in Week 14? MarketsThis was a line move that I saw coming from a mile away. The Bengals were -1.5 point favorites in the look-ahead line last week, but after the weekend they re-opened at -3 (odds from SBRforum).The problem for Vegas is that the move wasn't enough. The Bengals are doing a lot of things right (Week 13 turnovers aside). Meanwhile, the Cowboys continue to struggle with the same flaws that have plagued them all year. This line should be -3.5 at the minimum, but I would've opened it at -4 myself.
Love travelling!! Pretty laid back. It was a pleasure to have the super nice and friendly Meryl as my guest. It was very easy and uncomplicated to communicate with here, arrange arrival and departure. She was a great and absolutely perfect guest and I would love to welcome her and her friend again. I recommend her truly to every host, it is so nice to have her! Thank you Meryl! Meryl is a lovely guest to have over and could not be easier to communicate with. Planning the key handover was a dream and she is ever so friendly. I would be happy to welcome Meryl in Dublin again.
He was born on February 12, 1809 in Hardin County, Kentucky. Today he would be 204-years-old. The 16th President of the United States (1861-1865) is best known for signing the Emancipation Proclamation and passing the 13th Amendment, ending slavery in the U.S. He kept the Union from falling apart, presiding over the Civil War, which was eventually won by the north. His Gettysburg Address of [[phy_address]] quoted speech in American history. John Wilkes Booth assassinated him on April 15, 1865. Historians today wonder how Lincoln would have handled the recovery of the Civil War? The Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC is one of the most visited places on earth. Linclon's face is one of four to be carved into Mount Rushmore. The photo in this story was taken by Anthony Berger in 1864. This photo was the basis for the image on the $5 bill.

Travel Blogs from Wilson Train to Florida We had to be out of our hostel by 10am this morning and unfortunately there was still no solution to the shutdown so we decided to have an easy stroll down to a park by the museums after stopping at Starbucks for a long breakfast. Managed to find some wifi in the park so caught up with a few people before heading back up to the hostel to collect our rucksacks. We found out that the metro was only a block away so took that ... Halfway to the Beach! We started our trip to the beach Friday afternoon. I came home from work a little early, finished packing our stuff, and we left out as soon as Pete got home and could change out of his work clothes. We first dropped Bella off with our dog sitter, Beth. Bella waltzed right into her living room, attacked a toy, and almost paid no attention ... The living was easy today... Today was what I think of as a quintessential Southern day. A lovely, lovely day. Will and I, moving a little slower than usual this morning, took a drive of about an hour and change to see some very dear, much-loved longtime friends who live in the town of Stantonsburg, NC where our friend (Mr.) Gil is the pastor of the First Baptist Church. Driving through lush greenery and slight hills, the road to Stantonsburg took us through true rural ... Wonderful weekend in Charleston ... prepared a lovely BBQ and we sat round the pool eating and chatting until we realised how late it had got! This morning we were out the house by 8am to drive to the Isle of Palms where we hired a boat for the morning. With Henry as our skipper (and tour guide) we travelled through the barrier islands and approached Charleston from the sea and then returned along the creeks to a sand bank where we pulled up for a swim and a picnic lunch. ...

But now parents can keep an "i" on the situation. The school district this week premiered iParent, software that lets parents monitor their children's attendance, discipline records, class schedule and quarterly grades over the Internet. Right now, the program is available to parents of high school students. Middle school students will be added to the system this week. About 50 parents of high school students have already signed up for the program, said Timothy Hill, director of mathematics and computer technology for the district. The program has a few technical issues to work out - for some reason photos of students aren't showing up - but for the most part, it's working, Hill said. "I even had one parent who didn't realize her youngster had been suspended," Hill said. Parents have to submit information about themselves and their children in order to be approved for the program. Hill and other staff then ensure all the information is accurate before approving an account. One student tried to sign up, but was denied. Hill said checking each detail to be sure only the parent of a student is viewing that student's record is "labor intensive" but necessary for security and privacy. "We had one parent sign in as 'aa,' " Hill said. "I don't know who 'aa' is. We denied him. He tried as 'aa' again. We denied him." Discipline and attendance records are available in real time. Term grades are also posted, but the program doesn't log homework assignments, individual tests or standardized test scores. "Parents should know that," Hill said. "Forget the Big Brother. It's not everything." About 50 school districts in Massachusetts use the software that supports iParent. Methuen in the next few years will begin using iStaff, which keeps information on teacher degree status, certifications, salary and classes. Karen Silva, an assistant in Hill's office who has children at Methuen High School, showed how something as simple as viewing a student's schedule online can be beneficial to a parent. "Every morning I could look and say, 'Get ready for what you have today,'" Silva said. She also keeps track of her son's attendance.
Hello, i've spent the last couple of days researching my issue, to no avail. here's hoping someone can help. I have a mac mini server (mountain lion) setup to accept VPN connections (L2TP). the network setup is as follows: static public ip - firewall - SBServer 2011 (takes care of DNS) - Mac Mini Server (internal ip [[ip_addr]] and set to assign ip to incoming vpn connections from 210-229). Now the following problem occurs, on most locations employees can connect to vpn just fine and then logon to the terminal server (2008 R2). however, on some locations the vpn connects just fine, but users are unable to logon to the terminal server. (it's location connected, cause when i take the MacBook Air to a different location it works just fine). (this happened on a restaurant public wifi, in a B&B and at somebody's home) so both private and public wifi are affected. does anyone have an idea what could be preventing the successful connection of the rdp-session? (we use iTap as client on MacBook Airs) is there some sort of minimum down/up speed? (it works over normal 3G with iphone personal hotspot) thanks in advance, Arne |0| |Jan 19, 2013, 01:05 PM||#2| | | I have seen RDP fail sometimes due to MTU 'issues' cant remember the exact cause but it was due to smaller MTU's on some Links.

Mary Landrieu campaign ad with ‘Actress Mary’ spot Maine Democrats crown King Aid independent in bid to avoid repeat of ’10 race Maine has made headlines as far away as California this year for playing host to one of the nation’s most convoluted and unique U.S. Senate races — a three-way contest defined as much by the blurring of party lines as the seemingly endless flow of cash into the state from outside sources seeking to manipulate the outcome. Groups such as Crossroads GPS, the super PAC co-founded by Republican operative Karl Rove, and Americans Elect, the nonprofit turned super PAC doling out money from independent New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg have literally spent millions on TV ads in Maine. However, if third-party candidate Angus King wins on Tuesday — and polling suggests the former two-term independent governor will prevail — political analysts say much of the credit belongs to the state’s Democratic Party. Republican Sen. Olympia J. Snowe’s surprise retirement announcement early this year triggered an initial scramble among would-be successors, but “once it was clear that King was in the race, the Democrats cleared the field,” says John Baughman, a professor of politics at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. “The top Democrats in the state who might have considered a run, like [U.S. Rep.] Chellie Pingree, made it clear within days that they were not going to enter the race.” The Democrats’ reluctance had a lot to do with the reputation enjoyed by Mr. King, who left the governor’s office in 2003 with high approval ratings and still has widespread name-recognition in the state of just 1.3 million people. And for Democrats, it didn’t help that Maine is a place teetering on the edge of tea party dominance — to the extent that any candidate to the left of Mr. King’s notoriously amorphous brand of politics was likely to face long odds. “The bottom line is that the Democrats didn’t want a replay of 2010,” said Mr. Baughman. That year, current Maine Gov. Paul LePage, a Republican and outspoken tea party supporter, squeaked out a surprise victory with just 38 percent of the vote against independent Eliot Cutler and Democrat Libby Mitchell. “There’s still this sting from the governor’s race in 2010 when Eliot Cutler basically got so close to winning as an independent and the Democrats stood behind Libby Mitchell,” said Michael Franz, who teaches government at Bowdoin College in Brunswick. “If just a hair of those voters had stood behind Cutler, then we wouldn’t have such a polarizing governor in Maine right now with LePage,” he said. “Democrats don’t want to make that mistake again, and so they’ve put their hopes of the Senate on Angus King. “There’s no denying it,” added Mr. Franz, who noted that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) burned through roughly a half-million dollars on TV ads in the state despite remaining outwardly unsupportive of the Democratic candidate in the race, state Sen. Cynthia Dill. Charlie Summers, the Republican who’s running ahead of Mrs. Dill but still 17 points behind Mr. King in recent polls, was portrayed as an “extremist” in at least one DSCC-backed ad in September — an apparent attempt to link him ideologically to Mr. LePage and the tea party. “It’s silly unless [the Democrats] hope that the independent wins,” said Mr. Franz, adding that the DSCC money might have been better spent in a state where the party actually had a chance of victory, such as Virginia or Massachusetts. That it was spent in Maine seems to suggest the Democrats are attempting buy Mr. King’s allegiance. © Copyright 2014 The Washington Times, LLC. Click here for reprint permission.

The term is also a lot of pressure to be and act a certain way and those pressures only fall on women. It's like you have this one little window in the snow of Utah and you need to make the most of it or it could all disappear. Talk about pressure. It can help you break out, but it can also be a burden, as 2007 "it" girl Jess Weixler told the LA Times. Somebody christens you as the 'It' girl, but for some reason, I didn't strike while the iron was hot," said Weixler, 30, who since her Sundance premiere has stuck mostly to theater and appeared in only a few tiny indie films. "I was very wide-eyed then and maybe became a bit shy from all the pressure. I was, like, 'This was great, thank you so much,' and then I retreated back into my New York theater world." I remember that Carey Mulligan was the "it" girl when she arrived a couple of years ago in 2009 for An Education. Then Jennifer Lawrence was the "it" girl in 2010 with Winter's Bone. Last year there was Elizabeth Olsen who came with multiple movies including (Martha, Marcy, May Marlene), Brit Marling (Another Earth and Sound of My Voice) and Felicity Jones (Like Crazy). This year there seems to be three potential it girls and this seems to be some kind of bizarre press competition. Gina Rodriguez of Filly Brown, Lizzy Caplan of Save the Date and Bachelorette (who by the way has been doing great work for years) and Ari Graynor of For a Good Time Call and Celeste & Jesse Forever. I think it's great that we are getting stories about women doing good work in films. And I guess I should be happy that there is a non-white potential "it" girl. I just wish there was a better term for "it." Sundance: Gina Rodriguez of 'Filly Brown' is the newest 'It' girl (LA Times) Ari Graynor: One hot girl in the Sundance chill (LA Times) Sundance Breakout Lizzy Caplan on Save the Date and Her Raunchy Comedy Bachelorette (NY Mag) The Questioner | January 30, 2012 1:50 PM Lazy buzz terms like "It Girl" remind me that the film industry is still very, very afraid of women. The industry can pretend to acknowledge women as it marginalizes them yet again. Allison | January 27, 2012 12:20 PM Yeah, but won't most of these it girls stop getting jobs in their late thirties/early forties and replaced by new it girls? Ali | January 26, 2012 3:30 PM Very well written and thought provoking. Thank you for bringing this up. I too am annoyed at the "it" girl posts. It's not only sexist but it's just down right annoying. Solely with respect to Jaime & Cersei: Even without taking the books into consideration, here ^I think still missing the point slightly... The point is not that the Lannisters are in any way I just took the quiz and got a score of 108 movies seen on the list.

Driving an antique car is often an act of faith. Unless one is an ASE certified mechanic, every mile put on a historic vehicle is a leap into the unknown, carrying one further away from help and closer to an expensive problem. It forces one to become intimately familiar with all of the complicated moving parts that make things work, if for no other reason than to be able to tell a mechanic what to look at first. Peer Pressure has spent the majority of the winter slumbering like a bear in her cave, waiting out fierce December winds and wet March snows. Winters are always hard when starting carbureted engines. I don’t have a trickle charger yet, which means I’ve got about five good tries in the battery before I have to bust out jumper cables. Usually I pour a little gas in the carburetor to get the fuel system moving, and that does the trick. Whenever the roads are dry and salt-free, I let her idle in the driveway for ten minutes, then get her out for a trip around the block to spin the tires and get fluids moving through everything. Then she goes right back in the garage. Meanwhile, I’ve been driving modern, fuel injected vehicles which start instantly and glide over the road at lightning speeds. They have clean carpeting, clear glass, warm heat, and soundproofing. I’m removed from all of the smelly mechanical bits that make things work; modern cars have been engineered to make me forget there’s even an engine attached to the vehicle: This vehicle is powered by unicorn farts. They are appliances, and we take their very existence for granted. And we become ignorant of the clanking, whirring, gnashing machinery that makes it all possible. When spring comes, I pull the Scout out onto the road, wind up the engine on longer trips and listen intently to multiple different noises. That tapping–are those lifters starving for oil? I gauge the familiar droning of Mud Terrains on pavement. I parse squeaks from the rear of the chassis. Is the exhaust sounding a newer, deeper note this year? Other cues I pick up from the vibrations through my feet and hands. How does the clutch feel? Is that wobble a flat spot in the tire, or is that just an oscillation at speed? Is the engine straining above 50mph? The brakes are wearing unevenly. Does the shift point feel different this year? It feels like the steering is wandering more today. All of these reactions change my relationship with the road. Every trip I take in the Scout at the beginning of the year is carefully considered. Do I have enough gas to make it there and back? Do I have a backup plan if I break down? What’s the number for towing and recovery? All of these questions make me appreciate the ride a lot more; I’m in tune with the machine and the road, instead of just gliding over it, there and back. I bought my first Scout used, 20 years after it was built, and drove it 75+ miles home the same day, on faith that the seller was honest (he was) and the truck was in good shape (it was). One month later I drove it 2 miles down an empty beach at Assateague, an empty corner of the earth where AAA does not make house calls. It got me home. Ten years later I put even more faith in an older truck bought at auction with absolutely no provenance, using the 5-50-100 rule to shake out the kinks (500 miles is a long trip on those tires), and it’s run strongly ever since. I’ve had my issues, and it’s given me problems, but most of those were due to my own stupidity, and I’ve been able to make it home without calling in a tow truck. I don’t know if Steinbeck had it right or not. Rarely do I feel like I’m the soul of the machine; more often I feel like my truck helps me rediscover my sense of adventure. Will I make it there and back? Maybe not, but it’ll sure be an interesting story. Its sunny and in the 70s today. Perfect for a walk to the ice cream store. On my way back from a retreat in downtown D.C. yesterday I came upon an abandoned pocket bible, open to this portentous section… Well, the great circular wheel of sickness has made about five full revolutions in the last week, so that Finn was sick and then got well and now seems to be sick again. I’m still fighting off the cold that’s been keeping me coughing and blowing my nose for two weeks, but it hasn’t knocked me off my feet yet. I’ve taken delivery of a beautiful new 13″ MacBook Pro at work, and I’m in love with the Retina display. It’s difficult to go back to a standard LCD after looking at it. The machine itself is a marvel of power and beauty in a tiny little package, and I’ll be happy to carry it to and from work instead of a larger and heavier 15″, although I still have to spring for a pricy Thunderbolt dongle to get a wired Ethernet connection. The designer who was working with me at WRI celebrated his last day on Friday, so the search for a full-time replacement is in high gear. I’m still working out how to handle file sharing and storage with the new designer based in the D.C. office; I inherited a Dropbox account which holds all of our current files but there’s no method for sharing any of our legacy files. I do have several external hard drives with tons of other legacy files written by people who left years ago, but I’d like to find some kind of simple managed server solution. It may be that I have to cobble together a shared drive in the tower until I can justify the purchase of a server license or a Drobo. It turned out that I didn’t need any scripting help to count weblog categories after all; WordPress offers a counter in the categories dashboard. I dropped the data into a graph to view the spread, and it’s pretty much what I imagined: not counting Shortlinks, which is the category I use for sidebar links, House comes in second, followed by Photo (which I use for every post that includes a picture), Housekeeping (posts that concern changes to the site and technical details) and Geek. I did think that Finn would rate higher, but she’s also working against eight years of posts that predate her. Meanwhile, on my main website, I made the first major update to the homepage in something like seven years. It’s really simple right now, but I’ll be adding and tweaking and updating it over time. The big issue right now is trying to find a way to serve random images out of my Flickr feed without using Flash to display them. I first tried an old Flash based product to pull images from a subdirectory on the site, but it appears Flickr has disconnected its RSS feed for Sets, which destroys pretty much any good way of pulling curated images. So, I looked around some more and found a very simple jQuery plugin to grab tagged images and cycle through them. I have to work out some of the responsive breakpoints, but it’s live. Mr. Scout dropped by on Friday night and dropped off my new Blichman kettle, which is about as hard-core a piece of equipment as I could ever own. It came with a layer of crud at the bottom from the last batch of wort, but five minutes with a scrub brush and some baking soda and the stainless was gleaming again. Now I just need to kick this fucking cold so I can brew a new batch. Driving home from the Target today, I scrolled through radio stations with Finn in the back seat. It was one of those times when all the presets were carrying commercials–except one: the canned drum machine opening of “The Way You Make Me Feel” pumped through the speakers. I left it, concentrating on getting us out of the parking lot alive, when a small voice from the back seat asked, “Is this… Michael Jackson?” This from the girl who, only six months ago, would ask, “Is this a boy or a girl singing?” My birthday passed with quiet family fanfare, which was just what I wanted this year: dinner with my ladies at Chick-Fil-A. Before you scoff, the sandwiches are good, the shakes are better, and Finn loves the playroom. Jen and I watched as she immediately made friends and crawled through the tubes, laughing. I’m fighting off some kind of sore throat so a quiet evening was just fine with me–we were all in bed by 10PM. Today has been no better so I’ve been drinking gallons of decaf tea with lemon; they have boxes of the stuff stocked at work. Other than that, it’s been very quiet this week. Now that I’m working with scientists and data and shit, I tend to be looking at numbers and figures a lot more than I used to. I got to thinking about my own thirteen-year project, this weblog, and how I might be able to mine it for some data. Using a feature of the widget I use to build the post selector at the bottom of the page, I was able to get WordPress to spit out a post count for each month. Using some nimble search-and-replace skills, I got the data formatted, into Excel, and then copied that into Illustrator to build a pretty graph. As you can see, there’s some serious variation in there. Sidebar posts are included in the count, so it’s a rough outline of activity peaking somewhere in 2006 and averaging about 24 per month. Of interest is the high count of 63 in April of 2006 and the low count of 1 in January [[phy_address]] the file in an FTP hiccup. It’s a lot steadier in the last five years than I thought it would be, though, which is nice. Next, I’m going to see if I can get figures on each of the post categories. Maybe I can find out the percentage of posts with photos vs. without. Some kind of crazy front is blowing through this evening, sending the temperatures down from an agreeable 65˚to somewhere in the low 30s. What the hell, man? Just when I was thinking I could leave my winter coat on the rack. We went from having the windows open to shutting the storms down to keep the heat inside. Oh, well. Grandma and Renie are coming down this weekend to visit, which has us running around cleaning the house in preparation. It will be great to see them for the first time since Christmas, and I know Grandma is probably levitating off the floor with excitement. Hopefully the weather will warm back up so they don’t have to suffer a wet March weekend in Maryland. The CR-V is at the shop with new ceramic brake pads waiting to be picked up tomorrow morning; I bought rotors and pads last weekend with the intention of changing them, but when I got the grindy side up on the jack, I couldn’t get the caliper to release the rotor. Instead of bashing it with a BFH, I wisely decided on calling in the pros, and they got it done today, no muss, no fuss. Certain things I’m willing to take on myself, but any monkey business with important systems like brakes I’ll happily farm out. I kegged my latest batch of IPA, called Sinistral Warrior, on Sunday, and it’s carbing in the cooler this week. I’ve pulled two glasses from it so far, and it’s tasty–and strong. I have to remember to throttle back my intake because it tends to hit me rather quickly. Next up is getting some time to bottle the pumpkin, which has been sitting patiently since the end of December, and ordering a session IPA from Northern Brewer for the next batch. I also cut my 4″ shank down to 3″ last weekend. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be–maybe 5 seconds with a metal blade on the miter saw, and 2 minutes with a file to clean up the threads. Now, when I install tap handles in the front of the kegerator, the tubing and inlets won’t be in the way. Half the fun of owning a kegerator seems to be hose management. I haven’t looked at Facebook in about two weeks. I popped on there this evening to answer a question (I get alerts in my mailbox, but rarely respond to them) and lost a half an hour; nothing much has changed. I talked about creating more and consuming less at the beginning of this year, and haven’t done much to change that yet. I could come up with lots of reasons why, but the truth is I just haven’t. I have a lot of things to work on this spring; that is only one of them, and the least important.

Then try using silicone-free products for awhile to see if the silicones (if you've been using them) are the cause of the brittleness. That's what was going on with my hair.....the silicones created a moisture barrier and I couldn't, for the life of me, get my hair back to it's normal softness. Once I realized that, my hair has began to flourish. Good luck and I hope that helps.

Two days after the city's embattled school superintendent stepped down, the assistant — whom some thought would be his successor — has announced she's also leaving the district. Middletown Patch has also learned Board of Education member William G. Grady resigned his post effective Feb. 29, according to member Ryan Kennedy. , the and one most trusted confidants, told the school board chairman Friday she’ll retire March 30 to care for her elderly parents. Senges, who joined Middletown Public Schools in April 2006, and taught a French class at , took over for Frechette on Friday, said school board Chairman Gene Nocera. Nocera praised Senges's work in Middletown. “Yesterday at 5 p.m., we had a very good talk," he said. "Until we secure a person, she has agreed to be in charge. I am fully confident in her experience. She is a hard-working administrator who has done remarkable job. Her work ethic is one-of-a-kind,” Nocera said. After meeting with board chair, Senges sent a letter out to her staff and the Board of Education. "My parents who live in Oklahoma are both in failing health and are now unable to live independently without care," Senges wrote. "I am the only member of my family capable of stepping into the role of primary caregiver at this time." Senges complimented Frechette highly. "It has been a particular honor and privilege to work with an educational leader of Dr. Frechette’s caliber. I have been inspired and motivated on a daily basis by his vision, empathy for children, high expectations and integrity. His unwavering support of my efforts during my tenure in Middletown have allowed me to grow as a professional and to accomplish more in a short time than I ever dreamed possible." Nocera said the board will be moving quickly to find replacements for both Frechette and Senges, and said he has a candidate interview on Tuesday. He indicated he was certain a replacement would be found by the end of the month and that Senges “will have everything ready” for a successor to take over. Senges, of East Lyme, graduated from Colby College in 1972 and came to Middletown Public Schools from the Shoreline, as director of curriculum and program development for Regional School District 4, which serves Essex, Deep River and Chester. Prior to that, she was director of curriculum and instruction and the Title VI, Title IX and Section 504 Coordinator for the region. Grady is a longtime attorney in Middletown. In December 2009, he was nominated to the board to replace Democrat Judith Russo who resigned for health reasons.

In an odd gesture of implied support, President Barack Obama recently spoke by phone to Egypts’s Muslim Brotherhood president Mohamed Morsi, and according to White House reports, offered NO criticism of Morsi’s recent attempts to concentrate his own power and rule Egypt as a dictator. (Barack Obama appears more than willing to help radical Islamist Mohamed Morsi become dictator of Egypt) ___________________________ EXCERPT: (via NY Times) CAIRO — Tanks and barbed wire had surrounded Egypt’s presidential palace and crowds of protesters were swarming around last week when President Obama placed a call to President Mohamed Morsi. Mr. Morsi and his allies in the Muslim Brotherhood stood accused of a sudden turn toward authoritarianism, as they fulminated about conspiracies, steamrollered over opponents, and sent their supporters into a confrontation with protesters the night before that call; the clash left seven people dead. But Mr. Obama did not reprimand Mr. Morsi, advisers to both leaders said. White House officials say that as Egypt’s first democratically elected president, Mr. Morsi has a unique chance to build a credible democratic process with broad participation, which is the surest source of stability. LINK ___________________ Barack Obama refuses to offer criticism to Mohamed Morsi, a refusal the White House then attempts to explain away due to Morsi having been “elected”. Ok…so a man who has spoken out in the past against both the United States and Israel, a man who is a longtime member and leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization with longstanding ties to radical Islamist groups throughout the world, a man who wants to implement Sharia Law to all in Egypt and the world – a law which decimates any hope for the rights of women or those who practice any religion outside of fundamentalist Islam (Christians are now being openly murdered in Egypt) - this is the man Barack Obama and his White House appear to cower and plead to? This is the man Barack Obama is unwilling to criticize even as he continues to send billions of American taxpayer dollars in the form of aid/bribery to Mohamed Morsi’s radical Islamic government? Yes America – Barack Hussein Obama is doing just that. Perhaps he views Morsi as an example of what he would like to do in America?
Providing information on recent acts of vandalism at Wauwatosa Cemetery could result in a $2,[[phy_address]] An anonymous donor, who has family buried in the cemetery, 2405 W. Wauwatosa Ave., has pledged $1,000 as an incentive to get anyone with information about the vandalism to come forward. The cemetery's trustee board is matching that donation. In July, vandals pushed over at least six large gravestones and a granite bench top. In addition, an American flag that had been donated a few weeks prior by Wauwatosa VFW Post 1465 was stolen from the cemetery flagpole and a granite ball estimated to weigh one ton was knocked off a historic monument. Due to the material and craftsmanship of the memorials, which weigh thousands of pounds, they are nearly impossible to restore to original condition. "The community is appalled at this complete lack of respect for the heritage and memories that this beautiful cemetery holds," said Christine Toson Hentges, vice president of cemeteries, in a news release.

It was a long night for parents, teachers and school board members at . A decision about the fate of Principal Brian Greene was put on hold after a special board meeting Tuesday night extended into Wednesday morning. After nearly five hours of closed session discussion, a final decision was not reached regarding Greene's future. Board President Steve Achtemeier called for a vote to extend Greene's paid leave of absence for one more week, ending this Friday at 7 p.m. The board unanimously approved that decision. Greene said he believed that everything could still work out. "I am still hopeful that on Friday this goes the way that is the best for the school," Greene said. He said he was especially grateful for the support of teachers and parents, many who remained until the meeting ended around 1 a.m. That support meant the world to Greene. "I don't know what more a principal could want from his parents and his staff but this support," he said. "I think we're all focused on the kids and want the best for the school." Questions and Support The principal of the environmentally-focused charter school in Grayslake had been placed on administrative leave Nov 29. During a PCCS board meeting Dec. 6, school board members opted to extend Greene's paid leave for one more week. Neither board members nor Greene would give specifics about the reasons for the leave. The lack of any explanation bothered many of the parents at the PCCS school board meeting. "As long as there is nothing criminal or illegal going on, I want Brian to keep his job," said PCCS parent Sonya Wolk Hobbs. She circulated a petition to officially reinstate Brian Greene as principal and had collected 86 people early in the evening. "I think Brian is an incredibly good principal," Hobbs said. She added that the lack of information about Greene's forced leave in the middle of the school year made "the teachers feel like they are unsupported and the parents feel like they are unsupported." Anita Thomas, a professor at Loyola, has twins in first grade at PCCS "I'm mad," she said in the first hours of the closed session. "Brian is very visible in the school and very supportive. To give him some type of remediation plan seems preferable to a sudden administrative leave in the middle of the school year." Most of the comments from parents and teachers were in support of Greene. Some people asked the teachers who supported Greene to stand up, several did; others asked the parents who supported Greene to stand up, a majority of the room did. Achtemeier only read a statement at the start of the meeting that said the board was bound by employment law to keep certain things confidential. "That protects both the school and the principal," Achtemeier said. Former PCCS board member Laura Fay cited a common concern about attorney fees being spent in the process. "All these attorney costs come right out of the classrooms," said Fay. "This situation detracts from the focus of educating the students at a time when we really can't afford it. We have valuable employees here. The teachers need stability and support." Background Information Greene joined PCCS in July of 2008. According to the PCCS website, he previously had taught in both public schools and worked in the administration offices of charter schools in Chicago. Parents said they wanted answers. They had learned of Greene being put on leave through a letter from PCCS Executive Director Nigel Whittington. He stated that no details about reasons why the leave was necessary could be made public due to "personnel issues, labor laws and to protect Brian’s privacy.” While no firm answers were received early Wednesday morning, parents and Greene seemed grateful for a few more days.

have you felt any change in your style of compositions, ever since you switched to a DSLR camera ? Or to put it another way, have you felt restricted/liberated in any sense ?? Yes, I’ve got more sense of the picture frame after I shifted to a DSLR. As in, composing an image through the optical viewfinder of a DSLR is better than the live-view mode of a point and shoot camera. It hasn’t restricted my way of composing at all. In fact, it has improved it. How long do you think it will take for you to evolve a style of your own in photography? Honestly, I don’t know. Since most of my photographs are the result of travel only, I believe I have not created anything ‘by myself’ yet. Maybe it’s time to get more experimental? How would I know what my ‘style’ is? Or what I want it to be? I hope I realize it soon.

Many overseas pharmacists apply to pursue a career in Britain every year. The Overseas Pharmacist Assessment Programme (OSPAP) was established in 20051 to help them develop the knowledge and skills necessary to practise in Britain. I am one of these pharmacists. I applied to Aston University, passed the OSPAP in June 2010 and am currently a preregistration trainee in a community pharmacy. This article provides information about the OSPAP and gives advice to overseas pharmacists who are considering the same move. Overseas pharmacists who wish to practise in Britain should send their primary qualification, International English Language Testing System (IELTS) examination result form, CV, academic transcripts and other relevant documents to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society for assessment and evaluation. Once their qualifications and experience are deemed comparable to the UK system, they are then required to come to Britain to undertake the OSPAP. On passing the OSPAP, an overseas pharmacist’s qualification is considered equivalent to a UK qualification. Alternatively, the outcome of the document assessment process can be that a candidate is required to attend a formal interview to assess his or her pharmaceutical knowledge. The candidate is then either allowed to attend the OSPAP or is required to complete the entire four-year UK pharmacy degree course.2 Most OSPAP candidates are overseas graduates who have moved to the UK. Some are already residents here and have decided to pursue a career in pharmacy while others, such as myself, have moved to the UK specifically to attend the OSPAP to pursue a career in pharmacy. The OSPAP course can be costly, with tuition fees of around £13,000 — depending on the university — in addition to accommodation, transport and living expenses. There are currently four universities running the OSPAP: Aston University, Birmingham; University of Brighton; University of Sunderland; and Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen. The OSPAP covers several subjects: Attending the OSPAP prepares a candidate to practise as a preregistration trainee and provides an insight into several aspects of pharmaceutical practice in the UK, such as learning about laws and regulations. The teaching style of the OSPAP focuses on problem-based learning rather than theoretical knowledge, which candidates would have learnt in their years of undergraduate education overseas. This enables candidates to identify diseases and conditions and counsel patients in an appropriate manner once they start their training. For me, one of the main benefits of the programme was the student-mentor relationship that I developed with my teachers. They were always available to respond to any queries and to offer advice and support. It requires a lot of time, dedication and effort to pass this programme. You are required to write essays, attend workshops, prepare presentations and perform in role-play situations. Expenses can be a major issue, especially when there is no guaranteed job offer afterwards. This could be a particular problem for those who have families or partners that they have to provide for while they are studying. Moreover, finding a job as a preregistration trainee can be competitive, especially with the increasing number of graduates. The timing of applications for preregistration placements can also be tricky. Candidates should consider applying for placements even before they complete the programme. Although the OSPAP sounds daunting, I believe it is worth it because not only does it enable overseas pharmacists to work in the UK, it also increases their knowledge and enables them to direct their theoretical knowledge into practical skills. Additionally, I like the ever expanding role of UK pharmacists, from the role of dispensing to providing services to promote healthy living. I believe a career in pharmacy in the UK is rewarding. | | Overseas pharmacist programme in other countries How does the UK programme compare with those in other countries? Here, you will find some information, which may be useful if you would like to practise abroad in the future. Canada To be able to practise in Canada, overseas pharmacists must first pass a document evaluation stage to ensure that their pharmacy degree is acceptable to the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada. Applicants then have to sit an evaluation examination to confirm that their study programme is comparable to that taught in Canada. On successful completion of the examination, they then sit the pharmacist qualifying examination, which is composed of two parts: the multiple-choice questions section and the objective structured clinical examination section. After passing the examination, candidates then apply to the province where they want to work, where there are additional licensing requirements specific to each province.3 US In the US each state has its own pharmaceutical register. The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy administers a system accepted by most of the boards, whereby a candidate can be assessed and certified by the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee (FPGEC).4 Candidates who have received certification from the FPGEC are considered to have partially fulfilled the requirements for licensure in the states that accept the certification. They are then eligible to sit the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy License Examination in one of those states, after which, on passing, they can obtain their licence to work as a pharmacist. Australia In Australia, candidates are required to undertake an examination (stage 1), followed by an interview, then a period of supervised practice up to 2,000 hours. After this, they must pass the National Forensics, Ethics and Calculations examination then another examination (stage 2).

Capping off the third year of the Cameron Middle School's partnership with Lipscomb University – a year highlighted by activities to encourage college goals among students – Cameron and Lipscomb are hosting a talk by Dewey Bozella, a New York boxer who fought his first professional boxing match at age 52, after spending 26 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. More than 250 Cameron seventh- and eighth-graders will come to Lipscomb’s Collins Alumni Auditorium to hear Bozella, the ESPY 2011 Arthur Ashe Courage Award winner, speak at 10 a.m. on Friday, March 8. Later, the students will enjoy lunch and a question-and-answer session with Bozella and take a campus tour. “Bozella will share with our students how important it is to just keep going and never give up no matter what cards you’re dealt,” said Chris Hames, principal of Cameron Middle School. “His slogan is, ‘Never let fear determine who you are. Never let where you come from determine where you are going.’ That’s such a powerful message for our students to hear as they face numerous challenges every day. We want them to consider college as a real possibility and Dewey’s story is perfect to show them they can overcome any challenge if they just don’t give up.” Bozella overcame a troubled childhood and his long wrongful imprisonment to earn his GED and bachelor’s and master’s degrees and to start his own foundation working to build a boxing gym to train youth in the discipline and perseverance of boxing. He went on to fight his first professional boxing match in Los Angeles in 2011. Bozella’s talk is part of a series of college tour days Lipscomb has hosted for Cameron students as part of its three-year partnership to provide professional development for teachers and other educational services for the Cameron students. |Cameron students learn to hang out in the Bennett Campus Center like real college students.| |College of Education Dean Candice McQueen gives Cameron eighth-graders the scoop on college life.| |Cameron students sample college dining at a college visit day hosted by Lipscomb.| |Lipscomb professors have focused on literacy at Cameron for the past three years.| Cameron Middle students have visited campus several times over the past two years, eating lunch in the dining hall, touring the campus and talking with College of Education students and first-generation college students currently studying at Lipscomb. The Lipscomb Lady Bisons basketball team held a clinic for Cameron basketball players; first-generation college students and officials from the Office of Inter-Cultural Engagement visited Cameron to discuss college dreams concurrently in English, Spanish and Arabic, and College of Education students have visited Cameron to hold a math and reading night for students and parents, said Julie Simone, Lipscomb’s on-site liaison at Cameron Middle. “There is a constant flow of Lipscomb people in the school, including a literacy professor from the College of Education,” said Simone. “The whole school has made literacy a top priority this year, with a goal for every student to become a proficient reader and college-and-career-ready.” A big part of that goal has been a focus on college readiness and attainment for all Cameron students, said Candice McQueen, dean of Lipscomb's College of Education, which was contracted by the Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools in 2010 to support teachers through on-site professional development to meet the specific improvement needs of the school during Cameron’s transition to a charter school. “Early in the transition we focused our efforts on academic improvement through teacher support and training. We have seen steady gains in Cameron’s Tennessee Value Added Assessment System (TVAAS) scores,” said McQueen. “In addition, we are focusing on the social and emotional development of our Cameron students. One way we have done this is to show them the pathway to college and to let them know that going to college can be a reality for them.” Bozella’s inspirational story, covered by national media such as the New York Times, USA Today, ABC, CBS and ESPN, will be perfect for the students who can relate to his early life of turmoil and how he overcame the gut punches of life, McQueen said. While on campus, Bozella will also eat lunch with the Cameron students and participate in a question and answer session with them. About Dewey Bozella As a young man, Bozella showed promise at the training camp of Floyd Patterson, a former Undisputed Heavyweight Champion. In 1983, his life took a dramatic turn when he was convicted of a murder he did not commit. Sentenced to 20 years to life in Sing Sing Prison, Bozella maintained his innocence and exhausted every appeal. He was offered more than four separate chances for an early release if he would only admit guilt and show remorse, but Bozella consistently refused to accept freedom under such conditions. Instead of becoming embittered, he became a model prisoner, earning his GED and bachelor’s and master’s degrees, working as a counselor for other prisoners and finding strength and purpose through boxing, becoming the light heavyweight champion of Sing Sing. Each week in prison Bozella wrote to the Innocence Project, an organization dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted individuals. Eventually a powerful New York law firm took on his case and uncovered new evidence that exonerated him. He was finally released in October 2009. Today, Bozella devotes his life to working to rehabilitate recently released prisoners and to train kids in boxing. Bozella was honored by athletes from around the world for his courage and perseverance with the ESPY 2011 Arthur Ashe Courage Award. Past recipients of the award include South African President Nelson Mandela, Muhammad Ali and Billie Jean King. Bozella had always harbored a dream to have just one professional fight. On Oct. 15, 2011, he finally achieved his dream when he fought and beat opponent, Larry Hopkins, 30, of Houston, in his first and only professional boxing match. Bozella has now founded the Dewey Bozella Foundation, dedicated to building a boxing gym in the troubled city of Newburgh, N.Y., not far from where Bozella served his prison sentence. The gym will serve to train children in the discipline, courage and perseverance found through boxing.

Royal Dutch Shell and BP have signed deals to supply Kuwait with liquefied natural gas over the next few years, a Kuwait Petroleum Corp official said. Royal Dutch Shell has postponed an innovative project to provide subsea gas compression on Norway's Ormen Lange field it said on Friday. GDF, which holds 10 per cent stake in Petronet LNG Ltd, had in November 2011 agreed to supply 9 cargoes of LNG to the nation's largest liquefied natural gas importer (Petronet). Any decision on the sale would be contingent on the company abandoning the proposal to set up similar venture on the east coast. Oil prices also drew support from US data showing consumer confidence rose more than expected in March, climbing to its highest level since January 2008. Rather than spend money on upgrading plants, BP and other majors have been looking to sell them or turn them into fuel import depots. Obama warned Russia saying, "the isolation will deepen, sanctions will increase" for Russia, the world's biggest oil producer, if Moscow continues its current course. If FIIs turned away by the inefficiency of Indian regulators, the venality of govt bodies & India Inc’s disregard for rules doesn't make them any keener. Shell and CNPC have signed a deal to boost cooperation in sectors like deep sea exploration as well as LNG and unconventional gas sources like shale. ZTE has bagged 1 billion euro deal from the German arm of the Netherlands-based Royal KPN for offering managed services, according to sources.

Bro” A number of other tributes to Mr Edwards, from Chatham, have been posted. Kim Mccann said: “Good bloke, heart of gold! Shocked n gutted x RIP Leon Edwards” Jo Pethig added: “RIP Leon Edwards, just found out, he was my upstairs neighbour for over 4 years, Hope they have a pint waiting for you up in Heaven xx” Kent Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit is appealing for witnesses to the collision.

We’ve reached the halfway point of 2012 and what a busy six months in news it’s been. Our most popular stories so far this year run the gamut, from an alleged bus bullying incident to debate over the Eagle Point refinery to a dress code upheaval. Here are the 10 most-read stories on West Deptford Patch for the first half of 2012: 10. Debate Continues Over RiverWinds Summer Concert Series Whether West Deptford should continue to rock became the subject of a public email debate between committee members. The back-and-forth was fast and furious, and readers joined the debate in the comments: Keep the concerts or save the cash? Originally published March 13 9. Dress Code Debate Dominates West Deptford School Board Meeting Some West Deptford parents decried what they saw as the school district’s attempt to take over parental responsibilities. The dress code overshadowed several meetings, but was ultimately scrapped after a lack of public support. Originally published March 13 8. Auditors Cite Numerous Problems in West Deptford's Annual Audit Issues ranged from the serious to silly, but came down to one point: “You should all be concerned,” auditor Keith Ingling said. “Your township funds can be stolen.” Readers expressed their anger in the comments. Originally published June 17 7. Cianfarini Standing by ‘Heroin High’ Comments Committeeman Sam Cianfarini said he was repeating a reference and that people were politicizing his words after he used “Herioin High” to describe West Deptford High School. Cianfarini said he meant to highlight that the term was unacceptable; school officials called the remarks unfortunate. Originally published Feb. 10 Our sixth most-read item isn’t a story at all, but our standing West Deptford Pics & Clip Gallery, a place where readers can upload pictures and videos from around town at any time. Shameless plug: We love seeing your pics and clips, so keep on uploading them to share your shots with your neighbors. Originally published Dec. 13, 2011 Columnist Mary Lebeau was already a self-proclaimed Huge Fan of Bruce Springsteen, but it was this touching column on The Boss meeting her sick brother that drew in readers. Class act, that Bruce Springsteen. Originally published April 1 4. Sunoco Demolishing Eagle Point Refinery News that West Deptford’s refinery, a familiar site along I-295, would come down drew readers’ attention. The matter certainly didn't end there, though, with a slew of news on Sunoco’s tax appeals and settlement. 3. DeHart Bus Driver Allegedly Bullied 7-Year-Old Oakview Student A school bus driver’s alleged bullying of a young student went on over three weeks, a township parent said earlier this year. The boy was reportedly subjected to taunting from the driver. Originally published May 3 2. After 6.6 million gallons of oil spilled at a nearby refinery, residents were somewhat relieved to learn the spill was contained to the facility. Less of a relief was the awful odor, which eventually reached Maryland, that hung in the air post-spill. Originally published Feb. 23 1. Dewaine Thornton Arrested in 1992 Unsolved Rape A 20-year cold case was finally solved, police say, thanks to DNA evidence. The suspect didn’t go down without a fight, but was ultimately arrested and jailed on rape charges. AOL, our parent company, picked up this story, helping to push it to our most-read piece by far in the first half of 2012. Originally published April 18 Thanks for reading West Deptford Patch and here’s to a newsy second half of 2012. If you ever have any story ideas or tips, please contact local editor Bryan Littel at [[email_addr]]—it might be the next big story on Patch.
DeKalb, IL (Sports Network) - Jauwan Scaife recorded a game-high 23 points as the Ball State Cardinals held on to defeat the Northern Illinois Huskies, 56-52, in Mid-American Conference play at the NIU Convocation Center. Marcus Posley contributed 10 points and three boards for the Cardinals (10-13, 4-7 MAC). Majok Majok was three points shy of a double-double with 10 boards. Chris Bond added nine points and seven rebounds as Ball State won a second consecutive game. For the Huskies (5-18, 3-8), Antone Christian scored a team-high 14 points off the bench. Darrell Bowie recorded 11 points and four rebounds as NIU lost a fourth game in a row. Ball State knocked down 10-of-21 from the floor including three 3-pointers in the first half and held NIU to a mere 7-of-26 effort from the field, en route to a 28-25 lead at the break. The second half featured six ties and four lead changes. Both the final tie and lead change occurred on a trip to the free-throw line for Bond who knocked down a pair of shots to push Ball State ahead, 46-45 with 3:16 to go. The Cardinals then went 9-of-12 from the charity stripe in the last two minutes to keep the Huskies at bay. Ball State shot just 36.4 percent from the floor including a mere 4-of-22 from long range but NIU committed 24 personal fouls and the Cardinals converted 20-of-26 attempts from the free-throw line. The Huskies shot 34.7 percent in the game. There was quite a bit of hitting on the field at Milan Puskar Stadium last weekend, but almost as much action took place in the streets just outside in the hours following West Virginia's upset of visiting Baylor. Jamie McMurray claimed the pole for the Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500 -- the first race in the Eliminator Round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship -- by beating Joey Logano in Friday's qualifying at Martinsville Speedway.

Since 1990, ten annual icon festivals When East Meets West have been held at the Roman Catholic Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis, usually during the month of November. The festivals typically include an icon exhibit, a lecture explaining the theology and spirituality of Eastern Christian art, a Sunday procession with the icons, a joint concert by the Cathedral Choirs of the Basilica of Saint Mary and Saint Mary's Orthodox Cathedral (Orthodox Church in America), and a joint Orthodox-Catholic Vespers. Mrs. Debra Korluka, Orthodox Iconographer, has helped to organize the exhibit in the past and contributed numerous icons. Mrs. Korluka offers iconography classes in the Twin Cities and organizes trips to Russia and Ukraine. Dr. Paul Gavrilyuk (UST) delivered lectures on "Theology of Icon" and "Mary in Eastern Orthodox Tradition" at the last two icon festivals in November 2003 and 2004.
Former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe has been one of the most outspoken players to ever wear a NFL uniform. Kluwe has used his platform to fight for marriage equality, which is something that everyone who embraces progress can respect and appreciate. Unfortunately, it seemingly ended his NFL career. The Vikings released Kluwe, and he truly believes it was because of his willingness to fight the good fight. “The Vikings have already admitted that they cut me because of my activism; they have already admitted that [Priefer’s homophobic statements] were said by a direct supervisor to someone under his control; they’ve already admitted that one of their employees took a matter of harassment and discrimination to someone in upper management and then upper management did nothing about it,” Kluwe told AskMen.com in an interview discussing the lawsuit he is filing against the team. There was one very interesting nugget of information in the interview from Kluwe which expresses some concern about a former teammate. Kluwe is worried about his ex-teammate, good friend and Minnesota Vikings long-snapper, Cullen Loeffler. Loeffler was named in the Vikings internal investigation as a player who confirmed a homophobic comment from special teams coordinator Mike Priefer. Because Loeffler was named in the report, Kluwe fears that the Vikings could retaliate against the long-snapper by not re-signing him next season despite the fact that he is more than capable of still doing his job on the football field. “I’m worried about my long-snapper, Cullen Loeffler. In the report that the Vikings put out they [say] Cullen was the one who corroborated that Priefer made the statement, ‘We should round up all the gays, send them to an island, and then nuke it until it glows,'” Kluwe told Ask Men. “Cullen is an aging long-snapper, nearing the end of his contract and I’m almost positive that the team is going to retaliate against him and not re-sign him — even though he can still do his job. He’s done his job wonderfully for the last 10, 11 years now and there’s no reason that he can’t play another two or three years. “I think he’s in trouble simply because of the fact that he was there. It’s an unfortunate fact that that’s how the NFL works, is you can get blacklisted from the NFL very easily — and that’s something that was in the report, something that was discussed.” If Kluwe’s concern becomes a reality, that could spell more bad news for the Vikings. After the way they have handled the Kluwe situation, the team will be under a microscope to ensure they are not mishandling players. If comments that Loeffler made to help further an investigation impact their future decisions, it is another black eye on the team. You can read the in-depth interview from Kluwe over on AskMen.com, which discusses a wide range of topics and provides more insight into one of the most vocal players in league history.

aLIVE – Learning Islamic Values Everyday The aLIVE programme aims to develop a soleh child who is nurtured with taqwa and good akhlak, knowledgeable in Islam and practices what he learns. One that also shows care and concern towards others; his family, teachers and peers. PROGRAMME LEVELS Our Mosque Madrasah provides the aLIVE programme for young Muslims aged 5-20 years old. Designed specifically to be appealing, developmentally-appropriate and relevant to kids, tweens, teens and youths, the aLIVE programmes aim to inspire students to continue Learning Islamic Values Everyday. CONTENT The aLIVE programmes adopt a thematic approach to learning. Different themes appropriate to the different levels are being developed and delivered. The subjects on Aqidah and Fiqh are presented as “Faith & Practices”, Akhlaq as “Character & Life Skills”, Sirah and Tarikh as “Social & Civilisational Islam” while Iqra’ & Quran Reading under “Quranic Literacy” Depending on the age, the programmes, the modules and topics, the four areas may be given different emphasis. For example, more emphasis are given on Quranic Literacy in the Kids & Tweens aLIVE programmes. CORE VALUES AND PRINCIPLES OF aLIVE The aLIVE programmes seek to inculcate values, through modeling so children can see them being practiced. Teachers will also facilitate these values by providing opportunities for the children to personally engage in the moral process. This is the intuitive instructional model proposed by the Quran and followed by the earlier generations of Muslim scholars. TEACHERS Our teachers are especially trained to deliver content effectively through activities and lectures that can connect the learning in class to the real lives of our students.Teachers are also qualified, many of which are graduates of established learning institutions such as Al-Azhar University and International Islamic University Malaysia. They are also required to attend regular training organised by Muis. ASSESSMENT Students are assessed via a multiple assessment approach - encompassing different elements a child may experience both in and out of class thus reflecting his/her abilities and knowledge more accurately. Approaches include: organisation of materials, consideration of alternatives, quality of content and process, elaborated communication, connections to society and the world, audience, and beyond the classroom.
My family loves to snack on buffalo chicken wings and blue cheese-filled celery when watching sports on TV. Tonight’s dinner is a quick and tasty variation on that theme. A tangy blue cheese sauce coats chicken tenders while the brown rice is flavored with bottled wing sauce and crunchy celery. Chicken tenders, also called boneless chicken tenderloins, are part of the chicken breast and can be found in most supermarkets. Alternatively, cut boneless, skinless chicken breast meat into strips about 2 inches wide and 4 inches long. The side dish is made with microwaveable brown rice. If using another kind, follow package instructions and add the celery, oil and wing sauce after the rice is drained. Diced celery for the rice dish can be found in the produce section of the market.

OK - For those of you who have followed along, I've just got to let you know. After 8 months and 20,000 miles of driving with a leak we simply couldn't find, I had to take the Subaru in to have another starter put in. Pretty obvious - pretty straightforward. I go to pick it up and a new technician comes out to hand me the keys. He says to me, in a very matter-of-fact way - "Oh, by the way - you had a small leak, so I fixed it." Yes, that's right, the new technician somehow managed to find the leak that had everyone else searching and replacing parts for 4 months, in a very casual, it-took-me-five-minutes sort of way. I almost fell over. And yes, I've had two weeks, so far, of blissful driving - NOT watching the temperature gauge - NOT watching people stare, as the steam starts to rise out of the hood while stopped at a traffic light. It's like owning a new car (only THIS one has 220,000 miles on it). Well, hopefully I'll be able to drive THIS car another 200,000 miles before looking at the new Subaru's! Think how many more trips to Mt. Washington I've got NOW! And yes, I'm delivering (in my NON-LEAKING Subaru) donuts to my new favorite technician!!
After losing to the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round of the NBA playoffs last week, the Houston Rockets are looking at themselves very closely in the mirror. They are quickly realizing that James Harden and Dwight Howard, sprinkled in with a few nice supporting players here and there, aren’t enough to get it done in today’s NBA. And certainly not good enough to get through the torturing Western Conference. It’s clear that the Rockets are going to need some reinforcements. And its owners are very much on the same page. “We’re going to have cap room to bring in a terrific free agent and I think next year we’ll be a lot better than we were this year,” Leslie Alexander, the team’s majority owner, said in an interview with FOX 26 Sports. “I think the nucleus is great. I think we have two of the brightest stars in the league. We have players who are going to be much better next year, young guys. We have a very good nucleus…. “We won 54 games,” Alexander said. “It’s tough to win 54 games in the NBA and the West is so stacked, it’s hard. We were the youngest team in the league in the playoffs. Just that alone will get us much better. I thought the team played hard. They did what they could and when you lose the other team was better.” Carmelo Anthony is probably going to be the biggest fish on the market this offseason, not including LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. I’m just saying.

Additional collaboration by key interior design associations could do wonders to advance the profession. By Rita Carson Guest, FASID Great spaces and great buildings inspire the people who occupy them. They perform for the people and organizations that depend on them. They integrate technology support, ergonomics, and user control to provide comfort and aid productivity. Today, some even generate more energy than they use! Through engineering, design, and conscientious selection of products and materials, design professionals can help conserve our precious natural resources. It takes many professionals and specialists—from a broad range of disciplines—working collaboratively to make a building great. What if the various design organizations were to do the same? Let's pool our resources to get the message out to clients and future clients about the incredible benefits and long-term economies of good design ... instead of striving to define our differences. We all share a passion for good design and for improving the lives of human beings. If our organizations work together toward common goals, as our members do every day on projects, imagine what we could do to advance the business of design! At ASID, we are making an effort to reach out to every segment of the design business while seeking opportunities for cooperation and collaboration. Sustainable and green design is an area where mutual support is critical. Recently, we signed on to AIA's 2030 initiative to promote the goal of net zero energy buildings by 2030. Additional recent initiatives include the following: The interior design community is served by a number of organizations that regularly engage in dialogue on topics of common interest. Whatever our differences, our Issues Forum members (ASID, IIDA, IDEC, ARIDO, CIDA, NCIDQ, and IDC) share a common goal of advancing the profession. Together we have supported the development of the Interior Design Body of Knowledge document, which continues to be updated and expanded; and together we launched the Careers in Interior Design Web site. ASID has long-standing relationships with each of the member organizations of the Issues Forum and on occasion has provided both direct and in-kind assistance for compatible projects. Recently, for example, ASID responded to CIDA's request for funding to support their work to continue to improve and update the standards for interior design education accreditation. We met with the leadership of NCIDQ to discuss ways to encourage more interior designers to sit for the qualifying examination. In cooperation with IDEC, we have put together a "tool kit" of educational and research resources that we have distributed to every interior design program in the United States. I am often asked why there is more than one organization representing interior design professionals. There are many reasons, both historical and practical, for the existence of ASID and IIDA. However, we remain on good terms and often collaborate on educational programs and legislative issues at state and local levels. And we continue to explore new ways that our organizations can work more closely together at a national level. The ASID board of directors has requested a meeting between our respective boards to explore new ways we can work together and to build trust and a new future. We are also looking outside the architectural and interior design community to the other design professions—such as graphic designers, industrial designers and environmental designers—to see how we can broaden the discussion around the future and value of design. Can you imagine a new landscape where architects, interior designers, graphic designers, engineers, social psychologists, ergonomists, and similar professions work together side by side as design professionals who respect one another? Perhaps there may even be one giant design association or design congress with places for all of these specialties. Our clients are already demanding that we work together. We would love to see a future where all the design organizations do just that-to promote the value of what we do! ASID president Rita Carson Guest, FASID, is an award-winning interior designer and longtime advocate for the interior design profession. She is president and design director of Carson Guest, a law office and corporate design firm in Atlanta. ASID can be reached at (202) 546-3480 or [[email_addr]], and on the Web at www.asid.org.

Democracy and Civil War in Spain 1931-1939 US$ 33.95 Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page In the 1930s Spain underwent a period of intense and bloody upheaval that culminated in three years of civil war and the triumph of the Nationalist rebels under General Franco. Hundreds of thousands of Spanish - and non-Spanish - people died in their struggle against what was seen as the greatest evil of the time: fascism and its commitment to the defeat of democracy. Fifty years on, with the coming of a new democracy to Spain, previously inaccessible research materials have become available to historians; old orthodoxies have been challenged and the continuing debate concerning the origins of the Spanish Civil War has been lively. In the light of this renewed interest Martin Blinkhorn has provided a lucid and readable introduction to events in Spain in the 1930s.

A Wild (Card) World Series Raise your hand if you’ve enjoyed the playoffs so far this season? And last night’s walk-off home run by Washington native Travis Ishikawa (Federal Way) has set up a pretty “wild” setting for the upcoming World Series. For just the second time during the [[phy_address]] era, two teams that entered the playoffs as wild card teams have advanced to the World Series. The Royals and Giants will open the 2014 World Series next Tuesday (4:30 pm PT/FOX) after clinching their respective pennants over the last two days. The Royals and Giants join the Angels and Giants in 2002 as the only season since 1995 (the year the Wild Card was introduced) where both Wild Card teams advanced to the World Series. In total, [[phy_address]] teams have advanced to the World Series (26.1%), while 28 of [[phy_address]] advanced to the Fall Classic (23.3%). Another fun fact is that the Giants are the first “lowest seed” Wild Card team to advance to the playoffs since the expansion to two Wild Card teams in 2012. The following teams have won the World Series as a Wild Card team: Marlins (1997 & 2003), Angels (2002), Red Sox (2004), and Cardinals (2011), meaning that three consecutive titles were won by a wild card (2002–2004). A Wild Card team appeared in the World Series each year from 2002–2007. Here is the official World Series schedule from @MLB_PR: MILB.com Names Mariners Organizational All-Stars MILB.com published an article this morning naming the Mariners organizational minor league All-Stars and has comments from Director of Player Development Chris Gwynn. This is a good read on our minor league players and the fine seasons they put together. You can click on the photo below to access the article via MiLB.com. Randy Johnson…The Photographer Mariners Hall of Famer Randy Johnson had an amazing baseball career with over 4,000 strikeouts, 303 wins, 5 Cy Young Awards and one World Championship. Tonight “The Big Unit” will be featured on ESPN’s E:60, but not about his baseball career, but rather his hobby of photography. Tune in tonight to find out about the other side of Randy. 2014 Rewind – Iwakuma by the Numbers Mariners starting pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma put together another solid season in 2014, recording a career-high 15 wins (15-9) with a 3.52 ERA in 28 starts. After starting the season on the disabled list, Iwakuma set single-season club records for highest strikeout-to-walk ratio at 7.[[phy_address]] walk rate (1.06 BB/9.0 IP). In 179.0 innings, Iwakuma walked only 21 batters (including 2 IBB) and recorded 154 strikeouts. Since joining the Mariners in 2012 after an All-Star career in Japan, Iwakuma has made 77 starts (91 overall appearances). His 2.99 ERA in his starts (since July 2, 2012) is the 9th-best in the Majors joining an elite list of pitchers: 2014 Rewind – Another .300 Season for Robinson Cano Robinson Cano had a banner first season with the Mariners, batting .314 with 37 doubles, 2 triples, 14 home runs and 82 RBI in 157 games. The 6-time All-Star ranked 6th in the American League in batting average and hits (187), tied for 7th in doubles and 11th with a .836 OPS. The .300 season was the 6th consecutive for Cano, tying Miguel Cabrera for the longest active streak in the Majors. Cano has hit over .300 in 8 of his 10 seasons since debuting with the Yankees in 2005, combining to bat .310 with 412 doubles, 30 triples, 218 home runs and 904 RBI in his career. Cano’s .314 batting average over the last six seasons is 4th-highest in the Majors behind Miguel Cabrera (.331), Joe Mauer (.320) and Victor Martinez (.314). What has been most amazing about Cano’s streak is the fact that .300 hitters are going by the wayside. Consider this, from 2003-2008, the combined MLB batting average was .266 with 221 players who hit .300 or better in a season (when qualifying for the batting title). Over the last six seasons (2009-2014), the MLB batting average has dipped to .256 with 158 players hitting .300 or better in a season. Among American League players during the designated hitter era (since 1973), Cano’s 8 seasons batting .300 or higher are tied for 11th-most. Edgar Martinez and Ichiro Suzuki both had 10 seasons batting .300 or higher during their Mariners career. 2014 Mariners Rewind – All-Star Additions In preparing the 2014 Season in Review, we are digging up a lot of information through research that we’ll pass along on the blog. Today we found this little nugget… The Mariners had four players selected as All-Stars in 2014 – Felix Hernandez, Robinson Cano, Kyle Seager, Fernando Rodney – two of which joined the team through free agency (Cano and Rodney). With the help of STATS Inc, we were able to unearth the fact that this was only the 5th time over the last 10 seasons (since 2005) that a pair of new teammates (through free agency or trade) became All-Stars. Here is a look at the last 5 instances: Furthermore, if you count strictly free agents joining a new team, this was just the second time since 2006, 5th time since 1999 and 8th time since 1993 (all according to stats guru Jeff Chernow at STATS Inc). We’ll be passing along more information in the coming days, such as a fun tidbit on Cano’s six consecutive seasons hitting .300 or better and Felix having the lowest ERA by an American League pitcher in a LONG time. Enjoy the weekend! Behind the Scenes at Safeco Field – Legends Room Throughout the offseason we will be giving you a behind-the-scenes look at Safeco Field. To start with, we wanted to share with you the rebranding of the conference rooms at Safeco Field. The main goal is to celebrate our history and current team in a more dynamic way throughout our offices. The rebranding of the conference rooms at Safeco Field is an effort to give these rooms that are utilized by front office staff, corporate partners and fans a fresh look. The rooms will celebrate the organization’s history as well as the current team. The first room that received a new-look was the large conference room on the suite level of Safeco Field. This room is not only used by Mariners staff but it can be booked on a game day by fans looking for a bigger space to have a meeting or a pre-game gathering (more on booking an event). The room was rebranded the “Legends Room.” It features all of the Mariners Hall of Famers as well as various photographs of Safeco Field. Four other conference rooms will be rebranded this off-season. One will honor Ken Griffey Jr. Another will pay tribute to “Mr. Mariner” Alvin Davis. A third will salute the Mariners all-time hits leader Ichiro Suzuki. The fourth will celebrate the current team with images of Felix Hernandez, Robinson Cano, Kyle Seager, Hisashi Iwakuma and others. All the work will be completed by the end of January 2015. Here are some pictures of the Legends Room: Felix Hernandez Selected as Hutch Award Finalist Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez has been named one of 10 finalists for the [[phy_address]] Here are detailed sketches of all 10 finalists for the award. This year we’ll celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Hutch Award at the Hutch Award Luncheon while raising funds to benefit cancer research at Fred Hutch. Over the past 15 years, the Hutch Award Luncheon has raised gross proceeds of more than $4.3 million to support lifesaving research. Presented each year in Seattle at Safeco Field, and ranked as one of the top annual awards given to a Major League Baseball player, the Hutch Award recognizes the MLB player who best exemplifies the fighting spirit and competitive desire of the legendary leader and Seattle native, Fred Hutchinson. Felix has been a team leader, both on and off the field, in his 10 seasons with the Mariners after debuting as a 19-year-old in 2005. In the community he is been heavily involved with the Make-a-Wish Foundation, Seattle Children’s Hospital, the Humane Society, is the spokesperson for the “Refuse to Abuse” campaign in partnership with the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence and has teamed up with Grammy Award-winning recording artist and Seattle native Macklemore launch a comprehensive anti-bullying campaign. Felix is also the Mariners nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award and the Branch Rickey Award. On the field Felix is one of the most dominating pitchers in the Majors, going 15-6 with an American League-leading 2.14 ERA in 2014 and is 125-92 with a 3.07 ERA in 303 career starts. He is a 5-time All-Star, including being selected as the starting pitcher for the AL in the 2014 Midsummer Classic in Minneapolis. The 2015 luncheon will be held at Safeco Field (left field playing surface) on Thursday, January 29. Past winners of the Hutch Award include Raul Ibañez (2013), Jamie Moyer (2003), Omar Vizquel (1996) and John Olerud (1993) to name just a few. Charlie Furbush – Live Chat Rewind Mariners Care Raises $1 Million for NW Charities The slogan for the Mariners non-profit foundation Mariners Care is “a side of Mariners Baseball you don’t always see.” And it’s true.

'“The referendum of 2014 is about democracy. The Scottish General Election of 2016 is about policy' There is widespread confusion among some politicians and media pundits regarding the independence referendum planned for Autumn 2014 and the Scottish general election scheduled for May 2016. Many pundits are treating the two events as if they are the same thing. They are not. This cannot be stressed, underlined, or shouted from the rooftops loud enough. 2014 is a referendum on relocating power, relocating the tools of democratic governance, from London to Scotland. 2016 is about the people of Scotland picking up these tools and using them in any damned way we choose. I’ll say it again: 2014 is about DEMOCRACY. 2016 is about POLICY. A timeline to 2014 was included in the Your Scotland, Your Referendum consultation document but there is also a need to spell out the four main stages of the Independence process from now until May 2016. To summarise:STAGE 1. 2012-2014: PARLIAMENTARY ASSENT Referendum Bill presented to the Scottish parliament, debated, amended voted on and passed. White Paper published. The Westminster parliament will also decide its position on Scotland’s referendum.STAGE 2. AUTUMN 2014: THE REFERENDUM The citizens of Scotland make a YES or NO decision on whether they agree/want Scotland to be an independent country.STAGE 3. 2014-2016: INDEPENDENCE NEGOTIATIONS If Yes wins the current SNP Scottish government has a popular mandate to negotiate a settlement with the London government, based on the terms set out in the White Paper.STAGE 4. MAY 2016: SCOTTISH GENERAL ELECTION After negotiations are concluded with London the people of Scotland go to the polling booths in May [[phy_address]] ever government of an Independent Scottish state. If Yes wins in 2014, an exciting but unprecedented factor comes into play for the first time in Scottish history. From May 2016 onwards ALL government policy will be decided by the people of Scotland as expressed though elections – rather than deferring back to London. This is normalisation. It is why we’re involved in the Yes campaign.Kevin Williamson is Vice-Convenor of the Scottish Independence Convention 3 steps to being IndyReady Related - Personal accounts, sent in by Yes Scotland supporters, telling us in 100 words or less, why they are saying yes to an independent Scotland. - In these early days of Yes Scotland, we are giving top priority to two things: engaging with the many thousands of people who have contacted us to get involved and offer support, and putting in place the structure and the resources the campaign will need to deliver the right result for Scotland. - Today we are delighted to introduce the members of the Yes Scotland advisory board who will help drive the campaign towards referendum success in autumn 2014. - The members of our new advisory board come from a wide range of backgrounds. Over the next few weeks they will introduce themselves to you on this site, but in the meantime here's some brief descriptions of who they are and what they do...
It’s no secret that Richmond has been a summer workout hotbed for former Rams like Eric Maynor, Jamal Shuler, Jesse Pellot-Rosa, Jamie Skeen, Brandon Rozzell, B.A. Walker and others. Wednesday, Smart said he’s glad players, even ones he didn’t coach at VCU, still come back. RICHMOND, THE PLACE TO BE August 8, 2013 Men's Basketball B.A. Walker, Brandon Rozzell, Eric Maynor, Jamal Shuler, Jamie Skeen, Larry Sanders, Shaka Smart Leave a comment POST ‘DAGGER’ ERA MOLDED IN SAN JUAN July 16, 2013 Men's Basketball Anthony Grant, B.A. Walker, Brandon Rozzell, Ed Nixon, Eric Maynor, Jamal Shuler, Jesse Pellot-Rosa, Joey Rodriguez, Kirill Pishchalnikov, Lance Kearse, Larry Sanders, Maryland Terrapins, Puerto Rico Tip-Off, Shaka Smart, Wil Fameni Leave a comment 2013 PUERTO RICO TIP-OFF (pdf) The post-Dagger days began in Puerto Rico. It was in San Juan in 2007, at the first Puerto Rico Tip-Off, where we tried to find out if VCU, as a Goliath exterminator, had staying power. Nearly a week after rolling designated milk jug Maryland-Eastern Shore in the 2007-08 season-opener, VCU headed to the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. Anthony Grant, was, as Shaka Smart is today, THE rising star among college coaches. Eric Maynor, whose “Dagger” with 1.[[phy_address]] VCU its unforgettable, 79-77 upset of Duke in the first round of the NCAA Tournament the previous March, was a certified star. You could have sold his image on commemorative plates on QVC alongside those bearing Dale Earnhardt’s, if the NCAA allowed that sort of kitsch. But while Grant and Maynor were known quantities, magnetic drawing cards with the goods to back it up, the rest was up in the air. People love NCAA Tournament upsets, they embrace the Princetons and the Bryce Drews, the Eric Maynors, the Cleveland States and the La Salles for weeks each March. But when the lights go out, most of them fade from the national consciousness. We rode high on the hog for months, but secretly, we wondered if Maynor’s “Dagger” was VCU’s 15 minutes; If the illogical food chain of college hoops would gobble us up and cast us back from whence we came, back to the obscurity of mid-majordom. The tournament began in earnest. Grant’s recruiting class that year included Larry Sanders, Joey Rodriguez, Lance Kearse, Ed Nixon, Brandon Rozzell and Myk Brown, and transfer Kirill Pishchalnikov was also on board. Much of the publicity, and for a VCU recruiting class up to that point, it was significant, focused on Kearse and Rodriguez. Sanders was intriguing, but very much an unknown. TROY DANIELS IS A TRIPLE THREAT January 29, 2013 Men's Basketball B.A. Walker, Kenny Harris, Shaka Smart, Troy Daniels. Leave a comment Shaka Smart once joked that he had given Troy Daniels a “neon green” light to fire away from beyond the 3-point arc. Smart’s confidence in his sharpshooter has paid off, and now Daniels has VCU opponents seeing red. Daniels, a senior from Roanoke, has taken his neon-green endorsement to heart this season, knocking down 3-pointers at an arresting, not to mention historic, rate. Through VCU’s first 21 games, Daniels ranks fifth nationally with 77 three-pointers (77-of-188), and seventh in treys per game (3.7). If you thought Daniels couldn’t top his performance from last season, when he set a school record with 94 threes, boy, were you off the mark. On Jan. 2, during a 109-[[phy_address]] Tennessee State, Daniels connected on a staggering 11-of-20 from beyond the arc and finished with a career-high 33 points. With each successful shot, Daniels’ confidence seemed to grow. By the end of the game, Daniels was taking, and hitting, 3-pointers from nearly 30 feet. Daniels was just five days removed from a Dec. [[phy_address]] Fairleigh Dickinson, when he set a school record with nine 3-pointers. Prior to this season, a VCU player had knocked down eight 3-pointers in a game once ever. Daniels has done so three times already this season. During one six-game stretch this season, Daniels buried 41-of-80 (.513) from 3-point range. Daniels rate of 3.67 triples per game this season is on pace to break Kenny Harris’ VCU mark of 3.33, set in 1993-94.

Leave a comment PITTSBURGH – More to follow on VCU’s 90-63 win at Duquesne later, but a few pieces of housekeeping: - With the win, Shaka Smart improves to 100-31 all-time. He is the third VCU coach, joining J.D. Barnett and Sonny Smith, to reach that plateau. Smart reaches 100 wins in the 30th fewest games in NCAA history and is just the 12th coach to top the century mark in his first four seasons. - VCU’s victory was its 13th straight, the third longest in school history. The Rams won 16 in a row Jan. 18-March 13, 1981 and 15 straight Jan. 15-March 4, 1983. - Sophomore Treveon Graham scored 20 points in 21 minutes of play. It’s his fifth 20-point game of the season and his third in five games. Graham is averaging 20.5 points per game in his last six contests. - VCU knocked down 12-of-29 three-pointers Saturday, its most in five games. - Senior Troy Daniels buried two 3-pointers to become the fourth VCU player to hit 200 in his career. He joins B.A. Walker, Joey Rodriguez and Bradford Burgess on that exclusive list. A FEW HIGHLIGHTS: . . RAMS IN THE PROS: SANDERS SURGES January 3, 2013 Men's Basketball B.A. Walker, Bradford Burgess, Eric Maynor, Fort Wayne Mad Ants, Jamal Shuler, Jamie Skeen, Jesse Pellot-Rosa, Lan Mobel Iraurgi Saski Baloia, Lance Kearse, Larry Sanders, Lugano Tigers, Maccabi Ashdod, Maccabi Hod Hasharon, Michael Anderson, Milwaukee Bucks, NBA, NBA D-League, Nick George, Oklahoma City Thunder, Shaka Smart, Sluc Nancy Basket Pro, Stella Artois Leuven Bears 1 Comment It looks like Larry Sanders is starting to figure out this NBA thing. The 24-year-old former VCU star and current Milwaukee Buck is enjoying a breakout season. Selected 15th overall in the 2010 NBA Draft, Sanders is beginning to deliver on the promise Milwaukee saw on film and in workouts. Through a quarter of the season, the 6-foot-11, 235-pound center was averaging career-highs of 8.0 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. Sanders is shooting 54 percent from the floor, and as of this writing, his 3.0 blocks per game average was tied for the league lead. Last season, Sanders averaged just 3.6 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. But a strong preseason and training camp earned him increased playing time from Bucks’ Coach Scott Skiles. Sanders responded with 10 points and seven rebounds in an opening-night victory over the Boston Celtics. On Nov. 30, Sanders recorded his first career triple-double with 10 points, 12 rebounds and 10 blocked shots in a loss at Minnesota. His 10 blocks tied the franchise record, set by Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Abdul-Jabbar later took to Twitter to congratulate Sanders. Congratulations @larrysanders of the Milwaukee Bucks for tying my single-game franchise record 10 blocked shots. Great job! — Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (@kaj33) December 5, 2012 Sanders followed with 18 points, 16 rebounds and five blocks against the Celtics the next night. DANIELS, HAVOC GO ‘FAIRLEIGH RIDICULOUS’ IN WIN December 29, 2012 Men's Basketball B.A. Walker, Bo Jones, Chris Brower, Darius Theus, Fairleigh Dickinson, Fairleigh Dickinson Knights, Havoc, Jamal Shuler, Juvonte Reddic, Ryan Sypkens, Shaka Smart, Troy Daniels. Leave a comment RICHMOND, Va. – In a few days, we’ll close the book on 2012 and turn the page to a new year with new hopes, new goals and new dreams. But they might have to drag Troy Daniels into 2013 kicking and screaming. Daniels capped his torrid December by stroking a school-record nine 3-pointers and scoring a career-high 27 points in Saturday’s 96-67 win over Fairleigh Dickinson. After a pedestrian 4-of-10 start from beyond the arc, Daniels kicked into high gear, hitting five of his last six, including four straight in the final three minutes, to break Bo Jones’ 13-year-old VCU single-game mark. Daniels originally tied the record with eight triples Dec. 7 at Old Dominion. This month has been, by far, the best of Daniels’ career. In his last five games, Daniels has averaged 19.9 points and shot .500 (30-of-60) from 3-point range. Daniels has scored at least 24 points in three of those contests. It hasn’t been so much the flipping of a switch that has turned Daniels into a “must-watch” shooter the last five games as it has been the result of a cumulative effort. It’s been hours at Franklin Street Gym late at night with Assistant Coach Jeremy Ballard, loads of film study, and pep talks with Coach Shaka Smart. Sooner or later, the dam was going to break and allow the river that is Daniels’ sweet shooting stroke to flow freely. It appears we’ve reached that point. “I’m happy for Troy,” Smart said Saturday. “He’s a guy that’s put a lot of extra work in, a lot of extra hours where it was just him and a manager in the gym and it’s paying off for him.” Q&A WITH RAM RADIO ANALYST MIKE LITOS August 27, 2012 Men's Basketball B.A. Walker, Jamie Skeen, Markeiff Morris, Martin Henlan, Mike Ellis, Mike Litos, Mike Pollio, Ram Radio, Robby Robinson, Terry Sisisky 1 Comment VCU alumnus, CAAHoops.com founder and bocce enthusiast Mike Litos (@VCULitos) will join the VCU Ram Radio broadcast team for the 2012-13 season as color analyst. He’ll join play-by-play voice (and former child acting star) Robby Robinson to bring VCU Men’s Basketball into your living room (and car, and mobile device, etc.). I recently caught up with Litos to get some answers to the questions that are burning up Ram Nation right now, such as, “Would you be supportive of a Wham! reunion?” CK: A select few get to come back to their alma mater and put in a position like this. How exciting is this opportunity for you, as a long-time fan? ML: I’m rarely at a loss for words, lots of them, but I’m still having a difficult time articulating how exciting this opportunity is for me. I will say it’s extremely humbling to even be considered…we’ve got incredible momentum as an athletics department and a university, so to become a bigger part of that is thrilling. I very much look forward to digging in and contributing where I can. CK: Your predecessor, Mike Ellis, was known for his knowledge of Xs and Ox, his stories and his undying devotion to officiating. What can fans expect when they turn the dial to listen to the game this year? ML: It’s possible I’ve given aid to an official who, shall we say, may have erred in his interpretation of the rules. I’ll continue to help out the zebras. But really what people can expect is an answer to the question why. My goal is to be invisible. What I mean is that the radio audience gets a mental picture of what’s occurring on the court. Robby does a great job explaining what’s happening; my job is to depict what’s happening that impacts what Robby is describing. TURNING POINT: THE MICHAEL DOLES GAME December 16, 2011 Men's Basketball B.A. Walker, Derrick Reid, Jeff Capel, Jesse Pellot-Rosa, Michael Doles, Nick George 20 Comments Mike Litos relays a fond, albeit embarrassing memory from his freshman year at VCU. It was 1986, J.D. Barnett had already packed up and left for Tulsa. Although they did not know it at the time, the Rams were sliding into an extended period of mediocrity. Like Haley’s Comet, the program would emerge to win a conference title in 1996 before heading back into another orbit of so-so basketball around the sun, or something like that. Litos grew up on Tobacco Road, where basketball is religion and your affiliation with Duke or North Carolina (no offense, N.C. State) is akin to being a Hatfield or a McCoy. Schools always packed the house and you had to get to the game at least an hour ahead of time to get a seat in the student section. Those experiences are what caused Litos to convince his roommate and a couple of other guys to catch the first bus down to the Richmond Coliseum for the Rams’ home-opener that season. After much prodding, they relented. “When we got there,” he says sheepishly. “We joined the other four students in the building in the student section.” WE WERE MERELY FRESHMEN November 8, 2011 Men's Basketball B.A. Walker, Bradford Burgess, Dom Jones, Eric Maynor, Jamal Shuler, Jesse Pellot-Rosa, Joey Rodriguez, Johnny Story, Kendrick Warren, Larry Sanders, Michael Anderson, Nick George, Rob Brandenberg, T.J. Gwynn Leave a comment They say youth is wasted on the young. I just think those of us in the post-30 crowd hate that The Jersey Shore has taken over MTV. When I was a college freshman, I could run a sub-5:00 mile, sleep three hours a night and had great hair (true story). Of course, I didn’t know what I was doing half the time, and I didn’t care. The experience, one painful lesson at a time, was all worth it. It made me better personally and professionally (at least, that’s what I’m going with). There are six freshmen on this year’s VCU Men’s Basketball team. Statistically speaking, the Rams are the 10th-youngest team in the country. They’re all great basketball players. They wouldn’t be here otherwise. But there are going to be mistakes, plenty of youthful mistakes. Enough to cause Shaka Smart to lose some of his hair…wait…let’s move on. The point here is that these guys are all great talents, it’s just a matter of getting the best out of them. It’s going to take time. You’ll see it some nights and others you might shake your head. It’s rare to find a guy ahead of the curve, who can come in and dominate right away. Just like I didn’t come in and just dominate the blogging game. It took years of experience to be this awesome. A MATTER OF TIME October 10, 2011 Women's Soccer B.A. Walker, Cristin Granados, D'Andra Moss, Jamie Skeen Leave a comment How cool is this? Cristin Granados with the buzzer-beater? Not much rarer than a buzzer-beater in soccer futbol. This is my seventh year at VCU and I’d say this is one of the cooler singular plays of that time. If I had to put together a list of my favorite true buzzer-beaters since the 2005-06 season, it would look something like this: 1-Jamie Skeen vs. Drexel in CAA Semifinals, 2011 (MBB – 1:20 mark of video). 2-D’Andra Moss vs. Delaware, 2010 (WBB). 3-Cristin Granados vs. Georgia State, 2011 (WSOC). 4-B.A. Walker vs. Drexel, 2006 (MBB – :20 mark of video). Actually, those are the only four buzzer-beaters since 2005-06 that I could think of. I initially included Joe Van Meter’s homer to win the CAA Tournament in 2010, but that was just a go-ahead homer, not a walk-off, so it doesn’t count for these purposes.

OSHAWA -- Several local players headed off to various locations for international hockey over the holidays, and four came home champions.

Two members of the Whitby Junior Wolves, Hanna Bunton and Alex Moore, also won gold as members of Canada's entry at the world women's under-18 championships in Finland, while a former Wolves player, Whitby's Kelly Terry, won with Canada's under-22 women's team at the Meco Cup in Germany. Bunton, who hails from Belleville, was named one of Canada's top three players for the U18 tournament. She had two goals and two assists in five games, including a helper on the overtime-winning goal against the United States in the final. Moore, who's from Napanee, failed to register a point. Terry had three points in four games at the Meco Cup, where Canada defeated Russia 8-3 in the final. At the world juniors, Biggs managed only a single assist for the winning American team in seven games, but he was nevertheless a strong contributor. The Toronto Maple Leafs prospect was third on the team with a plus-six and tied for fourth in shots on goal with 18. Generals captain Boone Jenner had a disappointing tournament for the Canadian team, not only finishing in fourth place, but missing three of the games to suspension. He failed to pick up a point in the three games he did play and was a minus-two, although he did fire 11 shots on goal. Sebastian Uvira, the third General at the tournament, had a goal and assist in six games for Germany, which avoided relegation by winning its final game, 5-2 over Latvia. Generals rookie Michael Dal Colle, meanwhile, scored twice and had four assists in five games with Ontario at the world under-17 challenge in Quebec.

In three short years, Kawhi Leonard transformed himself from an undersized power forward at San Diego State, to a premiere wing player for the San Antonio Spurs. This is a mid-1st rounder pick that ended up winning the Most Valuable Player of the 2014 Finals. How did that happen? NBA scouts and executives frown on the word, ‘tweener, especially in the draft. What is a ‘tweener’? A ‘tweener’ is a player who is stuck between positions, usually relating to the front court. Who wants an undersized power forward with center skills in the draft? Who wants a small forward with power forward skills in the draft? No one does. Guard-skills rule the league and there are only a few attributes to a person and a player that can overcome it. Kawhi Leonard slipped in the draft, because he was seen as a ‘tweener, a small forward with power forward skills.

CLARINGTON - The Clarington Gaels novice lacrosse team beat the Canton Bears in two exhibition games played in Canton, New York recently. The team was there for the weekend touring St. Lawrence University (SLU) while watching NCAA lacrosse games.

The game featured the SLU Saints against the Vasser Brewers. The Gaels saw the home team win 13-8 at the Hall-Leet Stadium. After the game the Gaels prepared for the first exhibition game. The game was held inside Leithead Field and saw the Gaels pick up the 15-8 victory. Two days later the Gaels returned to SLU’s Hall-Leet Stadium at the North Country Field for the second exhibition game against the Bears.

presence of chemical agent. If chemical agent is detected, the sealed EONC will be opened in the explosive containment vestibule by workers in protective gear, who will overpack any leaking or contaminated rockets; the remaining rockets will proceed to the normal rocket destruction process. If no agent is detected, the rockets will be unpacked from the EONC and placed into the automated rocket handling system (Schlatter, 2010). From that point on, all operations to destroy the agent and warhead bodies will be remotely controlled.

Figure 1-1 is a basic depiction of an M55 rocket in its shipping and firing tube (SFT) and where it will be cut during processing. Figure 1-2 shows a cutaway model of an M55 rocket in flight configuration with fins deployed. The first step in processing the rockets will be for the rocket cutting machine (which works by pressing a rolling blade first against the SFT and then against the rocket body) to cut the fiberglass SFT into two pieces. The forward piece of SFT covering the warhead will be removed, conveyed to the motor shipping room, and placed in a crate. The rocket cutting machine will then make a second cut at the threaded connection between the warhead and the rocket motor. The intact warhead containing the chemical agent, burster, and fuze will be destroyed at BGCAPP by neutralization followed by supercritical water oxidation, as discussed above.

3:00pm Saturday 21st June 2014 Not much separated England and Uruguay, but what did divide the teams was one world-class striker and two world class finishes. England’s World Cup dream was ended by a goal I would describe as ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’ The good is for the good finish from the world-class Uruguayan and Liverpool forward Luis Saurez. The bad is for the bad header from England captain Steven Gerrard that put Suarez in on goal. The ugly is for the ugly schoolboy defending shown by the England back four for the second goal. As Gerrard was going up for the header, it should have been automatic for every one of the back four to drop off, just in case Cavani won the header and flicked it in on goal. That momentary loss of concentration is all a world-class striker like Saurez needs. So what positives do we take? Well, there are a few I think. Wayne Rooney broke his World Cup duck and scored his first goal. He was actually unlucky not to get more and on another day he may have got a hat-trick. Daniel Sturridge looked just as effective on the world stage as he does in the Premier League. Ross Barkley’s youth, hunger and enthusiasm were a delight to watch when he came on. He played with ‘no fear’. But unfortunately, none of this was enough to save England.

Given the potential health consequences associated with swimming in contaminated water, health officials have made more effort in recent years to ensure that information about beach advisories is available through the media and other sources. A recent survey of over 800 single-day beach visitors during the summer of 1998 found that nearly two thirds of visitors take advantage of this information when making decisions about their beach trips. When accounting for this information in a travel cost model, we find that the average (across all visitors) seasonal benefits of reducing one advisory is approximately $28 per visitor. Individuals who use the media in advance of trips gain less, approximately $24 per year, while those who use only signs posted at the beach would gain more, $38 per year.

INTERTANKO calls for the prosecution of the Somali pirates whose attack on the Norwegian 40,085 dwt chemical tanker Bow Saga in the Gulf of Aden Internationally Recognised Transit Corridor was frustrated by the Spanish frigate Victoria, where the pirates are now being detained. INTERTANKO hopes that these men will not be released due to the absence of any country willing to detain them and try them in court. We appeal to the Seizing State (Spain) or the Flag State (Norway) to co-operate to the fullest possible extent in repression of piracy' as per Art 100 of UNCLOS, and therefore to prosecute or extradite – either to prosecute the pirates on the basis of customary international law, or to transfer the prosecution to another state. This summer has seen the successful prosecution of pirates in Rotterdam and in the Seychelles, resulting in prison sentences of five years for five pirates for the attack on the Sananyolu and ten years for 11 pirates for the attack on the Topaz. We hope that this pressure to obtain proper justice will be sustained in the case of the Bow Saga, particularly since we understand that naval personnel who boarded and searched the skiff found weapons onboard. INTERTANKO understands that the Master of the Bow Saga, which is en route to Europe, has given a statement to a representative from EUNAVFOR. One of the keys to a successful prosecution is availability of officers and crew of the naval vessel as well as of the attacked vessel to provide witness statements in court or at least to provide written testimony.

"Comment: Practice makes perfect" Today the great majority of federal records are born electronic. That phrase has been commonplace for a decade, but few ask the follow-up question: If federal records are born electronic, where do they grow up and live? The obvious answer is that electronic records live in the government's information technology systems. That being the case, we would suppose that the systems are designed to properly take care of electronic records. But we would be dead wrong. Almost none of the tens of thousands of government IT systems are designed to properly maintain and dispose of the records they create or process. The institutional weightiness of records leaped to public attention in recent years through the Enron Corp. and Arthur Andersen LLP calamities in the corporate world and the continuing saga of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in government. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 states, among other things, that heads of multinational corporations can go to jail when records are tampered with, altered or deleted. And, as few have noticed, federal employees can also spend time behind bars for tampering with records that are the subject of federal investigations. In this altered climate, it stands to reason that heads of enterprises — government or private — want assurance their records are being properly managed. One of the best ways to gain this assurance is to ask if proper records management is being designed into the enterprise IT systems. This is an issue never before addressed in government. Federal IT managers subscribe to the doctrine of life cycle management for IT systems, but until now, the life cycle in question pertained to systems, not the data generated or processed. Now federal IT managers are beginning to hear the query: Have you provided for proper management of the federal records your systems carry such that you can guarantee that those records will stand up in a court of law? The FBI is one of several agencies addressing this question systematically. Officials are creating a records management certification program for its IT systems. Already the FBI records officer has clearance authority over new IT systems. Under the new program, both new and existing IT systems would have to pass through a certification process to ensure that federal records in the systems retain the authenticity, reliability, integrity and usability required. The records management certification will go hand-in-glove with security certification. If new systems fail, they would go no further in the funding process. For existing systems, failure would mean systems redesign. The situation presents an entertaining topsy-turvy. The lowly records officer, long toiling in the bowels of the agency, may suddenly receive the clout to tell the lofty IT managers they cannot have their new umpteen million-dollar toy until they toe the records management line.

Leonid Razvozzhayev, an ally to Russian opposition figure Sergei Udaltsov, has confessed to organizing mass disorder together with other opposition members, and said the effort was bankrolled by Georgian politician Givi Targamadze, the Investigative Committee said on Monday. Razvozzhayev, on a federal wanted list, has turned himself in to the law, committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said. All of what Razvozzhayev has said “will be thoroughly investigated,” Markin added. Razvozzhayev, as well as Udaltsov and his aide, Konstantin Lebedev, face up to 10 years in prison on charges of conspiring to organize mass disorder. The charges are based on Anatomy of a Protest 2, the second installment of a documentary on the Russian opposition aired by NTV, a privately-owned but fiercely pro-Kremlin television channel. The film, aired on October 5, claims that Udaltsov and his supporters planned to stage mass riots and a coup using funding from the Georgian leadership, which is at odds with the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The documentary comes complete with footage of Udaltsov’s alleged meeting with a Georgian representative to discuss plans for the rebellion. Targamadze, the head of the Georgian parliament’s defense and security committee and a close ally of President Mikheil Saakashvili, has slammed the documentary, calling it “propaganda.” He also said he had never met Udaltsov. The NTV documentary said Targamadze had helped organize the “color revolutions” that swept opposition leaders into power in Georgia and Ukraine in the 2000s amid mass protests over election rigging allegations.
