Tigers Score in Each Quarter to Top Rockets 38-23
COLUMBIA - James Franklin made crucial big plays on consecutive scoring drives in the second half and Missouri pulled away from Toledo for a 38-23 victory on Saturday.
Missouri (2-0) led 24-23 after Toledo (0-2) scored its first two touchdowns of the year but Franklin's 21-yard keeper set up Henry Josey's second 1-yard touchdown run of the game which extended Missouri's lead to eight. The quarterback later had a 6-yard carry on fourth-and-3 and an 11-yard gain on third-and-9 to set up Marcus Murphy's 8-yard run to conclude the scoring with 10:29 to go.
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel beat the school at which he's a Hall of Famer and the career wins leader with the help of a few goofs by the visitors.
Toledos' David Fluellen had 111 yards on 14 carries and 10 catches for 100 yards.

Suspension, cable-stay, elevated-roadway, and other types of bridge systems may be modeled and designed to suit any one of a variety of purposes, including means for crossing water, linking points between shear terrain, or extending over highway infrastructure. Customized controls and features integrate across a powerful object-based modeling environment to offer an intuitive, practical, and productive computational tool for bridge engineering. Advanced modeling features and sophisticated analysis techniques account for dynamic effects, inelastic behavior, and geometric nonlinearity. Code-based templates streamline the engineering process from model definition through analysis, design optimization, and the generation of comprehensive output reports. CSiBridge is the premier software for bridge engineering.
CSiBridge 2016 version 18.0.1 Enhancements
- A new stability check has been added for nonlinear static load cases to report when the structure may have failed under material or geometric nonlinearities that are not obvious from the analysis results.
- A new 2-D modified Darwin-Pecknold concrete model has been added to the nonlinear layered shell. This model represents concrete compression, cracking, and shear behavior under both monotonic and cyclic loading, and accounts for crack rotation.
- The handling of convergence tolerances for time-dependent behavior during staged-construction analysis has been improved to better enforce equilibrium after large load increments.
- The modify undeformed geometry feature has been enhanced to allow applying the modification to a selection of joints, as well as limiting the direction of modification.
- Contour Descriptions are now available for frame deflections and axial stresses.
- It is now possible to output the vehicle position for moving load analysis, for a specified max/min force component at a particular location.
- The bridge modeler has been enhanced to more accurately define the geometry in the vicinity of a skewed support, diaphragm, or in-span hinge for curved bridges and/or parametric variations of the bridge section at the skew.
- User-defined bridge sections can now be created and used in the bridge modeler, including different materials, openings, radii, parametric variations, and editing in Excel or section designer.
- It is now possible to specify the location of steel I-girder splices, including the net to gross area ratio of the flanges in order to perform the design checks at these locations using the reduced flange area.
- AASHTO superstructure design of steel I-girder bridge sections now computes the top and bottom flange tensile stress ranges for use in verifying load-induced fatigue criteria according to Clause 184.108.40.206.2.
- AASHTO superstructure design of steel I-girder bridge sections now reports the total nominal shear force per Clause 220.127.116.11.2 to allow users to determine the required shear studs.
- A new construction scheduling wizard has been added for segmental bridges which will quickly and easily create a construction schedule, including travelers.
- Superstructure design according to CSA S6-14 has been added.
- Superstructure design and rating of steel I-girder bridges according to AASHTO LRFD has been enhanced to consider a detailed calculation of the moment-gradient factor Cb.
- The AASHTO legal loads for load rating have been added to the vehicle library.
- A new cable-stayed bridge template has been added.
- A set of additional frame and shell (non-bridge) templates has been added.
- The DirectX graphics mode has been enhanced to use DirectX 11 for enhanced speed and capabilities.
- A 64bit version of the graphical user interface (GUI) is now available.
- The assign and select menu forms have been enhanced to allow them to remain open for repetitive use with a new apply button.

Tom Hanks is taking his acting talent from the silver screen to the stage.
The two-time Academy Award winning actor is slated to make his Broadway debut in "Lucky Guy," a new play by the late three-time Academy Award nominee Nora Ephron. It will be directed by two-time Tony Award winner George C. Wolfe.
"Lucky Guy" follows the career highs and lows of controversial NYC tabloid reporter Mike McAlary throughout his time as a journalist in the 1980s. McAlary's reporting won him the Pulitzer Prize in 1998 for his coverage on the police brutalization of Abner Louima.
U.S. & World
Check out this awesome Tom Hanks photo!
This isn't the first time Hanks and Ephron have partnered on a project. The two have multiple career connections that date back to the '90s, as Tom starred in Nora's 1993 hit, "Sleepless in Seattle," as well as her film, "You've Got Mail," in 1998.
The play will mark Hanks first stage performance since 1979, when he performed with the Riverside Shakespeare Company in New York.
"Lucky Guy" begins previews March 1 at the Broadhurst Theatre in NYC, with the official opening night set for April 1, 2013.

China holds ceremony to mark China-Japan war
BEIJING — President Xi Jinping criticized people who "beautify the history of aggression" as China on Monday marked the 77th anniversary of the start of a war with Japan amid rising tensions between Beijing and Tokyo.
This year's unusually high-profile commemoration of the 1937 Marco Polo Bridge Incident, including a nationally televised speech by Xi, comes amid an anti-Japanese propaganda campaign by Beijing.
The two governments are involved in a dispute over ownership of uninhabited islands in the East China Sea. China has expressed unease about Japan's reinterpretation of its pacifist constitution to ease restrictions on military activity.
"Unfortunately, nearly 70 years after the victory of the Chinese war of resistance against Japanese aggression and the anti-Fascist war, there is still a minority group of people who ignore historical facts, who ignore the tens of thousands of lives lost in the war, who go against the tide of history and deny and even beautify the history of aggression and harm international mutual trust and create regional tension," Xi said at a ceremony at the Lugou Bridge, called the Marco Polo Bridge in the 1930s, in suburban Beijing.
Xi unveiled a commemorative sculpture based on a military medal at the Museum of the War of the Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
After Xi spoke, a group of schoolchildren at the event chanted a promise to "remember history, cherish peace, not forget the shame of the nation and realize the Chinese dream."
In 1937, Japanese forces that had been in China's northeast since 1905 provoked a clash with Chinese soldiers by trying to enter the city of Wanping near Beijing. The fighting is regarded as the first battle of the second Sino-Japanese war, which lasted until Japan's defeat by the Allies in 1945.
China and Japan are linked by billions of dollars in trade, investment and aid, but the ruling Communist Party uses state media and school history textbooks to keep alive anti-Japanese sentiment.
Relations worsened after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited a shrine in Tokyo late last year that honors Japan's war dead, including convicted war criminals.
Soon after, officials at Japanese broadcaster NHK drew fire when one denied the 1937 massacre in Nanjing of thousands of Chinese civilians by Japanese soldiers happened, and another downplayed the Imperial Army's use of sex slaves.
In recent months, Beijing has tried to draw foreign attention to Japanese wartime aggression.
Last month, the government said it was applying to the U.N. cultural organization UNESCO to have 11 sets of documents relating to the Nanjing Massacre including diaries, photographs and testimonies that depict Japan's brutality declared important historical material.
Last week, China posted documents online that it said were personal accounts of wartime atrocities committed by Japanese in China.
On Sunday, China launched a website to promote commemoration of the Nanjing Massacre, also known as the Rape of Nanking.
Throughout the day, China Central Television's hourly news showed the recollections of a sobbing 85-year-old man of being forced to work in a Japanese iron mine during the war. Yu Mingting spoke about harsh living conditions and said when there was no room to bury the bodies of dead Chinese, Japanese poured gasoline on them and burned them.
State television also has shown scenes from a 1956 trial of Japanese war criminals with victims angrily and tearfully recounting their experiences.

Collaborative Learning Via Email Discussion: Strategies for ESL Writing Classroom (I-TESL-J)
This paper explores the strategies of implementing email in ESL writing classroom. It focuses on how email can be implemented in a collaborative learning ambience incorporating the stages of writing process approach and pair work activity. Both teachers and learners hold crucial responsibilities to ensure success of the approach employed. Additionally, the learning ambience, task structure and task content contribute to the positive implication of the learning approach. It is hoped that the strategies will offer insights for further action to be explored to attain a better understanding of how learners interact in a collaborative learning environment via email discussions and the impact on their writing performance particularly in ESL writing classrooms.
Students find writing projects much more meaningful when they have an audience for their efforts. Get students involved with writing letters and email to real people.
Current Issues in Education: Volume 9 Number 4
Journaling in the classroom has traditionally been a paper process. E-journaling eliminates some of the drawbacks of journaling mentioned above. Additionally, this "intellectual exchange allows faculty members to encourage, guide, and engage student in an academic venue" and "builds a rapport between faculty and student that contributes to positive learning experiences and successful outcomes" (Phipps, 2005, ¶ 1).
Consequently, some instructors have turned to electronic media for journaling. The type of media used varies, but Longhurst and Sandage (2004) stated that "choosing pedagogically appropriate technology with the lowest support requirement and the simplest learning curve encourages faculty adoption and student learning alike" (p. 69). They noted that the appropriate technology does not feel disruptive or intimidating. For this reason Longhurst and Sandage (2004) chose email as their method of transmitting journal entries. Another group (Duerden et al., n.d.) chose to use Webnotes™ as their technology for journaling. In both of these studies, the authors found that the use of an electronic means of transmitting journal entries: (a) simplified the entire procedure, (b) was easier and more timely than using paper, and (c) provided more opportune feedback to the students.
New Jersey Middle School Students Chart Academic Paths - NYTimes.com
all 428 sixth graders at Linwood Middle School in North Brunswick, N.J., are charting their own academic path with personalized student learning plans — electronic portfolios containing information about their learning styles, interests, skills, career goals and extracurricular activities.
These new learning plans will follow each sixth grader through high school, and are intended to help the students assess their own strengths and weaknesses as well as provide their parents and teachers with a more complete profile beyond grades and test scores.

What Grandparents Should Know About Opening 529 Accounts
Find out whether a grandparent's 529 plan will affect their grandchild's ability to secure additional financial aid.
I opened a 529 account for my granddaughter. Will this affect her prospects for financial aid?
SEE OUR SLIDE SHOW: 7 Smart Ways to Pay for College
A grandparent-owned 529 is not reported as either a parent or student asset on the Free Application for Student Financial Aid (FAFSA). That can be a big advantage because parents are expected to contribute up to 5.6% of their assets toward the college bills, according to the federal financial aid formula, and students are expected to contribute 20% of assets. As soon as the money from the grandparent-owned account is distributed, however, it is considered student income and must be reported as such on the next year's FAFSA, says Deborah Fox, president of Fox College Funding in San Diego. Students are expected to contribute 50 cents of every dollar of income toward the college bills, after an allowance of about $6,000 (the CSS Profile, a financial aid application used by some private schools, also assesses student income but does not provide an allowance). The same is true for 529 withdrawals from accounts owned by anyone who isn't the parent -- whether it's a grandparent, another relative or a friend.
Families who expect to qualify for need-based aid should time the withdrawals from that 529 until the last financial aid form has been filed, after January 1 of the student's junior year of college, says Fox. That way, the distribution won't affect the award. If you need to access the account before then, she recommends switching the account owner from the grandparent to the parent, if the plan allows it. (If it doesn't, you can transfer the account to another state's plan that does; see SavingforCollege.com for each state's rules). Either way, the money in the 529 would be counted as the parents' assets, but the withdrawals would not be reported as income on the financial aid application.

Cigar Diary: Fighting Counterfeits
Fake Cuban cigars were not an official topic of discussion during this February's cigar festival in Havana. Consumers and cigar merchants around the world descended again on the Cuban capital to smoke cigars and attend cocktail parties, dinners and seminars. But while counterfeits weren't part of the official agenda, nearly everyone at the conference knew that false cigars remain a problem.
"Hey, friend. You want to buy some cigars?" said an Afro-Cuban dude with mirrored sunglasses and a big smile that almost shouted that he was selling fakes. I was walking down Calle Obispo from the El Floridita bar to Plaza de Armas, one of the main pedestrian thoroughfares in the oldest part of Havana. "Cohiba, Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta…just what you like."
"No thank you," I said, slightly annoyed that his pestering was ruining a good stroll, especially after a couple of Daiquiris and a good Partagas Serie D No. 4 robusto. "I have all the cigars that I need."
A few minutes later, another guy launched into his cigar hustle. He was much more aggressive, bordering on belligerent. He could have been the other guy's brother, same glasses, same smile. "You want to buy cigars, man?" he said in English. "I have everything you need: Cohiba, Vegas Robaina, whatever."
"How much?" I said, thinking it was my journalistic duty to find out what the going rate was. It is usually about $20 for a box of 25, but this guy looked like a real shark.
"Man, you are not going to buy anyway. So don't waste my time," he answered. "You show me the money and I will tell you the price."
What a jerk, I thought. What's a guy like that doing on the street in Havana? I thought security was serious in Cuba? He was obviously dealing in something, wearing his fancy suit, slick T-shirt and modern sunglasses while just about every other Cuban walking down the street looked as if he had visited a discount clothing store 10 years ago.
However, the cops on the street did nothing. They stood there, just watching the day go by. That's been the crux of the problem with fakes in Cuba. Nobody has done enough over the years to stop the problem.
Sources at Habanos S.A., the global distribution arm for Cuban cigars, said that Cuban customs officials confiscated about 700,000 cigars last year. But that is a drop in the bucket. Just think about it for a second. If only half the visitors to Cuba each year took a box of fakes out of the country in their luggage, the total would surpass 18 million cigars. Obviously, most of the fakes out of Havana are leaving the island in a much more organized way.
I find it hard to believe that more can't be done to curb the problem with fake cigars. Cuba is known to have one of the world's most impressive domestic intelligence networks, so how come the government can't clamp down on cigar counterfeiters and bootleggers? Maybe Cuban officials just haven't made that a priority, or worse, maybe the trafficking of fake cigars is condoned on certain levels of the bureaucracy.
Whatever the reason, it stinks, just like most of the tobacco used in the fake cigars. How do the clandestine factories get the tobacco? Where do the bands and boxes come from? The unanswered questions are numerous.
Officials at Habanos are trying to do something. But they must feel like children building sand castles in the rising tide. They argue that most counterfeits on the world market come from outside Cuba, especially Panama, the Dominican Republic and Honduras. Name any Central American country, the officials say, and it could be a source for bogus smokes. They also believe that much of the packaging used for fake cigars, from bands to boxes, is made outside Cuba. But I believe most of the fakes are made inside Cuba.
Besides working more closely with Cuban customs, Habanos has been initiating changes in the export rules for cigars, which should curtail some of the business in fake smokes. When the new rules come into effect later this year, visitors will not be able to leave the island with a box of cigars unless they have an official receipt. Before the changes, people were able to exit the country with up to two boxes of 25 cigars without a receipt. The new rules should reduce the number of fake cigars leaving the island.
Habanos also plans to introduce a see-through label that will be placed on every official cigar box sold on the island. This should reduce the trade in fakes and curtail the sales of real cigars first bought on the island and later sold in other markets outside the normal, licensed Habanos dealers. But these so-called gray-market cigars are an entirely different subject, one I plan to address in a future column.
Of course, many of these fake cigars are not all that bad to smoke. During a trip in early August, I bought a box of Cohiba Siglo IIs for $20 from the manager of the house that I was renting in Havana. It was obviously bogus. The box itself was about five years old, the color of the bands was off, and the cigars were mushy and inconsistent in length. But the flavor of the tobacco was not too bad. I even pulled a gag on an aficionado friend from Italy by giving him a "five-year-old Siglo II." Maybe he was being polite, but he
didn't complain until I told him that it was a fake cigar after he was half done smoking it.
Some may say that fake cigars don't hurt anyone. But they do. The quality is not the same as official cigars, and even if they are well made, the cigars are not the same blend as the real items. This denigrates the image of Cuban cigars. The same is true with fake Padróns, Fuentes or any other cigars.
I can't help but think of all the Americans who smoke fake Cuban cigars and go away with a bad impression of Cuban cigars, as well as cigars in general. I have always thought that the annual underground market of Cuban cigars in the United States is somewhere around eight million sticks, but the majority sold in America today are probably fake. That doesn't do anything but hurt the image of cigars.
A lot of these bogus smokes in the United States probably come via Mexico. The market is absolutely overflowing with falsificados. Max Gutmann, one of the owners of the official Mexican agency for Cuban cigars, calls his market a "nightmare" for fakes. "They are everywhere and it is almost impossible to stop," Gutmann says.
It's the same situation in the Caribbean. During the Habanos festival, I met Rajkumar Sablani, the owner of Cigar World shops in Jamaica. He is one of the key merchants of Cuban cigars on the island, with a large clientele of Americans, particularly from cruise ships. He said that 95 percent of the cigars in Jamaica are fake. "It's a huge problem and most of the cigars come from Cuba," he said.
Some smokers, of course, don't care. A large number don't know the difference between a real and fake cigar anyway. Or they knowingly buy fake cigars because they don't want to pay the price for the real thing. They are the same people who buy knock-off Rolexes for $50, or Gucci bags from sidewalk vendors for $20. But it's difficult to do anything about them. Even education doesn't seem to work.
Of course, the cigar jockeys on the streets of Havana will insist that their cigars are the real thing. They say that they have a relative working in a factory and that their cigars are 100 percent authentic. "Don't worry, chico," they say.
Some cigar jineteras even provide better service than the official cigar shops in Cuba. Someone who was renting the house before me apparently had bought a bunch of fake boxes and he wasn't happy with the quality, so he returned them to the vendor. Early one morning after the previous tenant had left, a young man in his 20s knocked on the door of the house and asked to see "John from Chicago."
I said that John had left the day before, and he wouldn't be back. "OK," said the Cuban, who claimed to be with his mother who worked at the La Corona factory.
"Please give him his $100 back," he said, handing me a new $100 bill. "He didn't like the quality of my cigars and I don't want any problems."
I shook my head in disbelief and gave the $100 bill to one of John's friends from Chicago. "Now there's service with a smile," I thought to myself. And a sign that the counterfeit business in Cuba is still thriving.

And by The Prisoner we mean the 1967 "Patrick McGoohan tooling around in a Lotus 7 Prisoner," not the 2009 TV miniseries nobody particularly enjoyed. In the Welsh county of Gwynedd, you can visit the faux-Mediterranean Portmeirion resort, which served as the shooting location for the cult classic television series.
45 years later, much of the hotel still resembles the show's unnervingly pleasant Village. Sure, there's no Kosho training center, but many recognizable sites remain intact.
To make matters even niftier, Google Maps allows you to traipse over the grounds, so you can pretend to be Number Six's shadowy omniscient captors. You can't summon Rover to engulf unsuspecting vacationers, so don't get too excited. Also, here's a video tour of the Portmeirion if you prefer narrated annotations.
The beach where Number 6 hilariously gets his ass handed to him.

International political boundaries are arbitrary creations. Today's borders are better described as imaginary lines on maps, rather than hard barriers between states. Often using mountains, rivers, or other geographical landmarks, modern borders are entrenched in historic tradition rather than logic and fact. As a result, today's international borders are poorly equipped to handle modern challenges, in particular climate change, which has already begun to threaten the most important state resource, fresh water.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands has contributed $28 million to back FAO's work to boost the resilience of food systems in Somalia, Sudan, and South Sudan - part of a new initiative to scale-up resilience-based development work in countries affected by protracted crises.
Ten years after committing to phase out fossil fuel subsidies, G20 countries still subsidise coal, oil and gas to the tune of around USD 150 billion annually. Peer review of fossil fuel subsidies help push the G20 forward on this issue, but these reviews need to be followed by action. Subsidy reforms could free up resources that could be channeled back into government programmes and on accelerating a clean energy transition.
Access to water can be a critical resource for cooperation, but also a source of tension. Identifying risks before their onset is crucial for the efficiency and economic feasibility of intervention strategies, but how can these risks be measured? To address this conundrum, adelphi together with several partners convened a side-event at World Water Week, which connected experts developing analytical tools to policy makers in the water sector.
The guidelines for conflict-sensitive adaptation to climate change were developed by adelphi on behalf of the German environment Agency (UBA) and outline how to design and implement an adaptation project in a fragile or conflict-affected context. Addressed at planners and project managers, the guide provides tools and methods to ensure that an adaptation project does not exacerbate tensions and, ideally, contributes to peace and stability.
As disasters wreak havoc all over South Asia, health impacts have increasingly emerged as a major concern for communities and governments in the region. It underscores the need for concerted efforts towards building synergies between the Paris Agreement, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, particularly now, in the post-disaster reconstruction phase, to ensure "building back better" and future disaster prevention.
A problem is looming. Most water infrastructure isn't designed to meet the demands of the increasingly volatile world that climate change is producing. Our modern landscape requires a reconceptualization of infrastructure's demands and needs that often defies convention. And nowhere is a flexible and responsive approach more crucial than in water infrastructure, where we are experiencing unprecedented changes in flows and increasing pressures on consumption, according to Wellspring: Source Water Resilience and Climate Adaptation, a new report from the Global Resilience Partnership, the Alliance for Global Water Adaptation and The Nature Conservancy. The report explores some ways practitioners can take a new approach to source water protection that would enhance resilience and help sustain communities and ecosystems in a shifting climate.
Iraq is on the verge of an environmental breakdown, and climate change is not helping. The country's fragile environment and the increasing scarcity of natural resources — particularly water — are a result of poor environmental management, as well as several political and historical factors. However, as climate change impacts add to the existing pressures, the environmental collapse turns into a security issue.
Growing water scarcity and climate change effects are having a profound global impact resulting in an urgent need for increased dialogue and cooperation over shared water resources. In this policy brief, the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) highlights the potential of water diplomacy as an approach for forwarding peace and the better management of transboundary waters.
World Water Week is organised by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) and is the annual focal point for global water issues, gathering leading water experts, decision-makers, and business leaders. The 2019 theme was "Water for society: Including all".
Africa is vulnerable to natural variations in climate and human-induced climate change. Adapting to these impacts is key to achieving Africa's development targets, and requires a coordinated and synergistic approach from a diverse range of actors across sectors, as well as better understanding of the drivers of risk and vulnerability. The African Climate Risks Conference (ACRC) is an open platform for sharing the latest African climate research among researchers, policy makers, practitioners and development partners.
Climate change and its disruptive impact on water resources are increasingly recognised as threat multipliers that exacerbate conflict in areas around the world. The workshop will gather practitioners from the MENA region to discuss the role that civil society can play in fostering environmental cooperation and increasing the resilience of their communities vis-à-vis climate change and conflict.
The Humanitarian Energy Conference (HEC) is a new global event that convenes the broad community of actors and initiatives worldwide working to improve and expand energy access for displaced and crisis-affected people.
"Climate Security risks will materialise in very different ways and forms, whether we talk about Lake Chad or about the Arctic, Bangladesh and the Small Island Developing States," said the EU's Ambassador to the United Nations in New York, Joao Vale de Almeida, in his opening remarks. "But for the EU, there is no doubt, as underlined in 2016 in our Global Strategy, and reaffirmed by the 28 Ministers of Foreign Affairs, that climate change is a major threat to the security of the EU and to global peace and security more generally," he said.

Michelle Shearer, the 2011 National Teacher of the Year, urged more than 8,000 delegates attending the National Education Association (NEA) 2011 Representative Assembly in Chicago to swing open the doors to their classrooms so others can drop by and see the creative work being done by students and teachers.
"I invite people to my classroom all the time so they can see first-hand my students in action,"
Shearer said Tuesday on the final day of the assembly. "At first, I wondered if anyone would come ... but I found that people are desperate to get a glimpse into our classrooms and see how we connect with students."
Shearer said students can benefit greatly from collaborating with community members since teachers alone cannot provide students with all the resources they need.
"We need parents, business leaders, members of our boards of education, and our elected officials to rally around our students and with us," said Shearer, a member of the Maryland State Education Association (MSEA). "Bring the public into public education. Share inspiring stories. Pose challenging, thought-provoking questions. Steer the conversation about public education in a positive direction."
One way to draw positive attention to education news, Shearer remarked, is for national news outlets to perhaps introduce a segment titled, "Highlights in American Education," which could "energize our nation" with stories of successful public school programs and students.
"The dialogue surrounding public education can leave us all discouraged, disheartened, and demoralized," she said. "These are challenging times."
Shearer admitted that even some teachers themselves may be affected by the barrage of negative news stories that too often demonize public school educators.
"I hear too many teachers say, 'I'm just a teacher,'" Shearer said. "Take the "just" out of the statement. A teacher is a great thing to be. Teachers change lives and do the work from which all society benefits."
In his introduction, NEA President Dennis Van Roekel noted that Shearer is the daughter of two teachers.
"She recognized that she wanted to be a teacher early on," Van Roekel said.
Shearer was named national teacher of the year by President Barack Obama at a White House ceremony in May on National Teacher Day. A chemistry teacher at Urbana High School in the Frederick County Public School System, she was awarded the prestigious title in part for her commitment to helping children who have traditionally been underrepresented in science, and for employing innovative approaches to classroom technology. She will serve for one year as a full-time national and international spokesperson for public education.
Shearer, a 14-year veteran of Maryland public schools, has taught all levels of chemistry and started the Advanced Placement chemistry course at her school. In between two teaching stints at Urbana High School,
Shearer also taught science and math at the Maryland School for the Deaf in Frederick, Maryland.
MSEA President Clara Floyd said Shearer is a highly professional teacher who understands the needs of students, colleagues, and the community.
"She has a natural instinct for bringing them all together in way in which they all benefit," Floyd said. "We're proud to have her represent our state, and also teachers from across the nation."
During her speech, Shearer acknowledged the three finalists for the National Teacher of the Year. The other finalists (named by the Council of Chief State School Officers), all NEA members, are Annice Brave, a high school English and journalism teacher at Alton High School in Alton, Illinois; Cheryl Conley, a fourth-grade teacher at Osceola Magnet Elementary School in Vero Beach, Florida; and Paul Anderson, a biology teacher at Bozeman High School in Bozeman, Montana.

'Delivering the Goods' considers thinking inside the box at Borland Gallery
'Delivering the Goods' considers thinking inside the box at Borland Gallery
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- "Delivering the Goods," an exhibition of the work of master of fine arts degree students from Penn State's School of Visual Arts (SoVA) and undergraduate students from the Art and Design Department at Shippensburg University (SU), will be on display in the Borland Gallery from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Feb. 10-21. Gallery hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.
The exhibition explores the creative potential of 'thinking inside the box.' Students were asked to create a piece of artwork that utilized all the interior space of a standard UPS Priority Mailing Box, 12 inches by 3 inches by 15 inches or 7 inches by 5 inches by 14 inches. Each work had to be able to be packed within the box for shipping.
This is the second version of this exhibition — SoVA M.F.A. students exhibited their creative responses at Shippensburg University in November, and many of those works are included in the Borland show.
"The first version of this exhibition by SoVA M.F.A. students stretched the range of scale and weight possibilities of 'thinking inside the box.' The content in the exhibition was very exciting and the media was extremely diverse," said Michael Campbell, director of the Kauffman Gallery, Shippensburg University. "Now a second version of the exhibition provides an opportunity for SU undergraduate art and design students to join the conversation. Their ideas and forms are worthy answers to the theme and its' limits. This exhibition, like the first, demonstrates that creativity and imagination are not confined to nor defined by a box. The conversation is just beginning."
According to Graeme Sullivan, director of SoVA, any creative challenge involves constraints, and the variety of outcomes can never be fully anticipated. "There are some intriguing questions these kind of thematic exhibitions pose. For instance, the idea of conforming to fit to a standard size makes good business sense for USPS. And there is a tendency these days to see education as a business. Yet, the objects and images you see in "Delivering the Goods" are a welcome reminder that human imagination knows no limits."

Note: Jason has left Milo and Olive and we don't go anymore.
If it's Thursday we will be at Milo and Olive. We love going – the staff treats us like family and it becomes one big party. Chef Jason is beyond terrific; he is a wonder and every dish is exquisite with regards to seasonality with A+ ingredients, sensational seasoning, exact execution and inventiveness. We never know what Jason has in mind for us and that is half the fun. We just let him cook and we have the pleasure of just reveling in one exciting dish after another. We bring our own wine and share with everyone.
The wonderful Jason
On the right GM Katie and on the left server Lexi – Both are A+ at everything
Champagne to start
Albacore tuna and cured salmon tartare, curry creme fraiche, English peas, watermelon radish with a sauce of lemon marmalade- this was absolutely stellar. The fish was pristine, the seasoning wondrous and the lemon marmalade outstanding – we didn't leave a drop!
Roasted Golden Beets, Blood Orange, Hummus, Pistachio Aillade, Ricotta Salata, Arugula – Aillade is the name used in southern France for a garlic based vinaigrette. The hummus was a combination of chick peas, tahini, cumin, raw garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. The golden beets reminded me of a Hershey Kiss with a tail – in looks only! This was a wondrous combination of taste and texture.
Etoile Rose
A savory crostata (tart) of Swiss chard, ricotta, Nueske's bacon and raisins surrounded by a sauté of swiss chard, bacon, cauliflower, pine nuts, capers and pulverized anchovies with splashes of 12 year old balsamic vinegar – another winner
Goia Farm Burrata, American proscuitto, Brussel sprouts, Marcona almonds, Bagna Cauda – Jason is a master at putting seemingly diverse ingredients together into a delicious, perfectly structured whole
White wine
This was off the charts superb! Crimini, Oyster, Honshemeji Sauteed Mushrooms on Toasted Brioche, Poached Farm Egg, Shaved Black Winter Truffles, Mustard Vinaigrette – it doesn't get any better than this.
Red Wine
Pork Cheeks, Pork Cheek Confit, Stewed Lentils (French lentils with rice, piquillo peppers, cumin), Shallot, Arugula – a perfect ending to a perfect meal
I have said this before but I need to say it again. Milo and Olive is a fine dining restaurant in a casual setting. Headed by the talented and creative Chef Jason this is great food with an equally gracious front of the house staff. Highly recommended.

Hi everyone! only a year ago I didn't know anything about having a linux distro installed on my pc, on the contrary in the last months, I found my choice in Xubuntu, being my favorite among the many ones I tried!
just a question as regard xfce environment: is there a way to make Mouse clic (both left and right, independentely) activate inactive (background) windows, AND at the same time select the item where the mouse cursor is pointed??
To make it clear, an example:
there's window "Classic MP3" , which is an inactive, background window, and there is "Movies" which is the active window, which i'm working on;
on xfce (xubuntu 10.04 lucid), if I left/right mouse clic a file like "Mozart---.mp3" placed in "Classic MP3" (background window), then I'll see the window go into the active state (from inactive) , **but** it will not select the mp3 file in the same mouse-clic-event : I'll need to clic again on the file in order to select it.
The same happens not only with files located into inactive windows , but also with its menus, buttons...
Thanks for your interest :-)
..un mondo di musica.
You could set the focus to mouse over.
Thanks for the reply..
I'd like to get a solution, but also keep the focus with mouse-clic .. it's a pain, I can't bear a 'mouse-over-to-focus' function. Any suggestion ?

I read that one a while ago. Somewhere back in the thread is my opinion. I think I was happy it was cheap.
Just finished up reading the Dark Tower series of books for the second time. I must say it was a lot more enjoyable reading them in relatively rapid sequence rather than waiting the 17 or so years it took him to publish them. I started the first in 1989 or so, maybe 1988 (released in 87 I believe) and the last in 2004 for the first time around.

Although Android may be the top smartphone platform, Apple's iPhone seems to be the phone for business, according to reports.
iPass, a mobile services provider, released its Mobile Workforce Report which says that iPhone business use has risen 31 percent from 2010 and now has 45 percent of the smartphone share, beating out both BlackBerry and Android. BlackBerry is at 35 percent of business marketshare and Android comes in third at 21 percent.
The report, based on a survey of more than 2,300 workers worldwide, said that much of the rise is because businesses have adopted a "bring your own device" policy, so users are bringing their iPhones on board. About 42 percent of mobile workers have individually liable smartphones, as opposed to 58 percent given to them by employers.
U.S. & World
The biggest news from the report was that businesses were not investing in BlackBerry, instead they were adding support for the iPhone (20 percent) and Android smartphones (14 percent.)
The report also said that more than 1 in 4 mobile workers got less than 6 hours of sleep a night with more than a third of workers saying that their job affects their amount of sleep.
The report projects that iPhone and Android use will rise because business owners will continue to let workers bring in their own smartphones. The only problem we foresee is that this could mean that company data may be on several different kinds of phones, which may not be supported by the company IT department. That doesn't bode well for security.

A Quadrille dress is a bespoke dress worn by women in Caribbean countries. The quadrille dress is the folk costume of Jamaica, Dominica and Haiti. It is known by a different name in each country. The dress is worn during the quadrille dance.
In Jamaica, the quadrille dress is made of cotton. It is also called a bandana skirt. The skirt is worn with a ruffled sleeve blouse and a matching head tie. The traditional dress is made out of red and white cotton plaid, maroon and white plaid, or madras. The plaid material is called bandana fabric. Men wear a shirt made out of the same fabric and white pants during quadrille and folk dances. However, for weddings, the traditional male attire is a bush jacket made of linen fabric and black dress pants or a tuxedo and the female attire is a white wedding dress. In many countries, the bush jacket is known as a guayabera. In Africa, the bush jacket is known as a safari shirt and is worn in the same manner as the safari jacket.
The quadrille is only danced in Jamaica and Trinidad today as a show. Dancers will usually wear the Jamaican folk costume, which consist of a gathered skirt of red madras bandana worn with a white peasant blouse. A matching head scarf is often worn tied in a sort of turban fashion. This costume is unlikely to be "bespoke" as it is only worn as a costume, for dancers, folk singers, tour guides etc. It represents the clothing worn by the ordinary folk in roughly the eighteenth century. Sometimes beauty pageant contestants wear creative evening dresses inspired by the national costume.
The bush jacket is hardly traditional. It was introduced for political reasons in the 1970s and some men continue to wear it as a matter of taste. Traditional attire for weddings, funerals, court dates etc. is an ordinary suit. Office attire is either a suit or shirt and tie. The bush jacket is an option one sees occasionally.
One would not expect to see the folk costume at a wedding. The groom would wear a conventional suit, the bride a fashionable white gown. Guests would wear suits and semi-formal dresses. One or two of the men may wear bush jackets.
The only occasion where a man would wear a madras shirt and white trousers would be if he were performing on the stage, either singing traditional folk songs or some sort of calypso or mento in the tourist circuit.
In Haiti, the quadrille dress is called a karabela dress. Traditional male attire for dances, weddings, and other formal wear is the linen shirt jacket.
St. Lucia
In St. Lucia, the name of the dress is spelled Kwadril dress.
Quadrille dress in Caribbean countries
Here you can post the information about different pieces of national dresses. It doesn't matter clothing of what country you bear in mind. Please add photos of mentioned garments to make it more interesting and clear for other people.

New Member, Not a New Vegan
I've been an off and on Vegan for a little over a year now(15 months), it mostly had to due with my line of work and me learning what I liked and what worked or me. Anyways for about a month and a half now I've been sticking to my vegan diet and have never felt so good. I'm still learning new bits and pieces here and there but I feel I have a good handle on things and am really enjoying the energy and the results. I'm a personal trainer, soccer coach, and a college student so figuring out a whole foods vegan diet that had enough calories, was easy, quick, and delicious took some time but as of now I'm pretty sure I've got it figured out. Pretty cool to run across this site and forum and look forward to finding some new and delicious recipes and meeting all of the people on this forum.
i'm new here to, but not to a vegan diet, although for the last 18 months i have struggled with it. anyways welcome and maybe we can help each other
