FACTS & STATS: Site: Joan C. Edwards Stadium (38,019) -- Huntington, West Virginia Television: CSS. Home Record: Houston 3-3, Marshall 2-3. Away Record: Houston 0-3, Marshall 2-3. Neutral Record: Houston 1-0, Marshall 0-0. Conference Record: Houston 0-0, Marshall 3-3. Series Record: Houston leads, 2-1.
GAME NOTES: Both the Houston Cougars and Marshall Thundering Herd are in a state of urgency as they enter their final Conference USA clash at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
Houston is 4-6 so far in the first season of the Tony Levine era. The Cougars started the season out with a three-game losing streak before reeling off three-straight wins to get back to .500. Houston then lost three of its next four, including last week's demoralizing 41-7 loss to Tulsa at home. Houston's offense had been fairly productive this season, but the Golden Hurricane held it to just 262 yards of total offense and forced it into four total turnovers. The Cougars need to win both of their remaining games to finish the season with bowl eligibility. This will be the Cougars' final trip to Huntington as a conference rival, as they are Big East bound after this season.
Marshall underestimated its opponent last week as it fell behind 31-7 to UAB. The Thundering Herd made an effort to come back, but it was too little too late and they lost 38-31. Doc Holliday's team, like its opponent, must win its final two games to be bowl eligible.
Both schools made trips to bowl games last season. Chase Keenum and Houston went to the TicketCity Bowl while Vinny Curry led Marshall to the BeefOBrady Bowl. In last year's regular season, Houston shot past the Thundering Herd for a 63-28 victory. Marshall has only been victorious in one of three matchups with the Cougars.
The Cougars led the entire FBS in total offense and scoring offense last season, but it appeared like they would experience a rebuilding season after their season opening 30-13 loss to Texas State. However, the Cougars are ranked 11th in the FBS in passing offense (324.6) and 21st in total offense (473.4) in their first year of the post-Keenum era. The high-scoring numbers from last season have diminished due to Houston's 31 giveaways.
David Piland has been streaky under center for Houston this season, throwing for 2,927 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Piland struggled with his accuracy (15-of-32) and threw two interceptions in last week's loss to Tulsa.
Houston's receiving corps features a pair of reliable targets in Dewayne Peace and Daniel Spencer, but Piland seems to keep finding new targets each week. Peace leads the team with 42 receptions for 458 yards and two scores. Peace did not play last week due to a suspension. Spencer has tallied 579 yards and three TDs on 41 receptions. Seven other Cougars have more than 100 yards and a touchdown grab. Last week, Deontay Greenberry led the class with five catches for 49 yards. The week before Mark Roberts was the most productive wideout with five catches for 62 yards and six points.
The rushing attack is the key to Houston's success. The Cougars improved to 6-0 all-time when running back Charles Sims records 100+ rushing yards two weeks ago. However, Sims did not play last week and is doubtful to return on Saturday, which leaves the rushing duties to Kenneth Farrow. He paced the squad with 55 yards on 15 carries in last week's loss to the Golden Hurricane.
Houston is one of the weakest defensive teams in the C-USA with allowances of 473.4 yards and 30.8 points per contest. Over its past three games, the team has surrendered 124 points and 1,551 total yards of offense.
Trevon Stewart leads the team and is tied for second in the conference with 76 total stops. The team took a huge blow both on and off the field when star cornerback D.J. Hayden suffered a near fatal injury after colliding with a teammate in practice. The injury required immediate surgery and Hayden will miss the rest of the season. He was leading the league with four interceptions, two of which he returned for six points.
Marshall has one of the most explosive offenses in the FBS this season, ranking eighth in total offense (511.3 ypg) and 17th in scoring offense (38.8 ppg). The team was held well below its average with only 337 yards of total offense by a weak UAB defensive unit in last week's loss.
The Herd operate from a spread attack with its leader, Rakeem Cato under center. Cato has began to sketch his name onto Marshall's career leaderboards by throwing for 3,506 yards and 29 touchdowns this season. The sophomore QB is completing 69.4 percent of his passes and has only thrown eight interceptions on 494 attempts, which means he is likely to throw a pick on just 0.16 percent of his drop backs.
Although he was not even expected to be the best wideout on his own team, Tommy Shuler is second the C-USA in receiving yards per game (89.2) and is third in the FBS with 8.7 receptions per contest. The speedy sophomore wideout is 19 catches away from tying the school's record for receptions in a single season which was set by Mike Barber (106) in 1987. Shuler is not the only MU wideout among the conference's receiving leaders. Aaron Dobson (618 yards, 53 rec.) is eighth and Antavious Wilson (626, 55 rec.) is ninth.
While the trio of wideouts have the most yards through the air, tight end Gator Hoskins has pulled in a team-best 10 touchdown catches.
MU employs a three-headed rushing attack. Steward Butler, Kevin Grooms, and Remi Watson have shared the ball carrying duties. Grooms has amassed a team- high 577 yards on 98 carries. He and Watson both have seven rushing TDs to their credit this season.
The Thundering Herd's defense had been a turnstyle for opposing quarterbacks all season until last week. Marshall held the Blazers' Austin Brown to 197 passing yards and picked him off three times. Unfortunately the Herd had no answer for Darrin Reaves, who rushed the ball 32 times for 194 yard and a pair of touchdowns.
Marshall has the 116h ranked scoring defense in the FBS with an allowed average of 41.1 ppg. Dominick LeGrande is pacing the defense with 108 total stops, which is the seventh most in the FBS.
The Thundering Herd's loss last week at UAB really put them in a pressure cooker. Cato is going to have to out-duel Piland in a shootout to keep Marshall's season alive. Marshall was in this same predicament last season and managed to pull off the late season rally. Holliday's high-powered offense will need help from the defense to fend off the Cougars.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Marshall 49, Houston 47

Occasion: Chinese New Year

NOTE: In 2010, Chinese New Year is celebrated February 14 and it begins the Year of the Tiger. Celebrate with Chinese Dumplings, Firecracker Beef, and Happy Shrimp.
Long after the bubbly and the noisemakers are all gone, the Chinese community here in America and around the globe begins to think about its own New Year celebration, based on thousands of years of ceremony and revelry.
For Joanne Chang, a Boston restaurateur, the New Year is about connecting with her roots.
"Gong He Fa Tsai," says a little boy, bundled in layers of down and wool clothing, to an older man reading a newspaper on Kneeland Street in Boston's Chinatown neighborhood. He says it again, and the man looks up, smiles, and reaches into his pocket for coins. "All the kids have to say is 'Happy New Year' and they get coins or candy," says Joanne, chef and owner of Flour Bakery & Cafe and the recently opened Myers + Chang restaurant. During the two-week celebration, the neighborhood welcomes dragon dancers and elaborate parades, fireworks that light up the sky, and family get-togethers centered around a time-honored cuisine.
Joanne and her fiance, Christopher Myers (her partner at Myers + Chang and co-owner of Radius, Great Bay, and Via Matta restaurants), own a loft condo on the outskirts of Chinatown. "We love Asian food," says Joanne, "and if we're not cooking it at home, we're eating out at one of the great restaurants within walking distance. That's what propelled us to open our first restaurant together." This year, Joanne's mother, Sue, and her dad, C.Y., are visiting from Texas. It's a perfect opportunity to cook all day and have a few close friends over.
"The shopping is easy," notes Joanne. "There aren't a ton of ingredients for so many dishes."
"It's a lot of chopping," says Sue, "but the cooking is fast. I like to be in the kitchen with Joanne, getting ready before everyone shows up. She knows the food — she doesn't need me anymore — but it's a good reminder of her roots, and we have fun."
While making dumplings, Sue scoops the ground-pork stuffing into doughy wrappers and deftly shapes them into perfect half-moon packages. "I've been making these dumplings ever since I was married, some 40 years now," she says.

A pregnant woman who was given $US5000 ($A4922) to let internet users choose the name of her baby is defending her decision.
Natasha Hill, 26, won a contest sponsored by the baby naming website Belly Ballot.
'Especially now with people all around me trying to pay their mortgages and get by, I have $US5000 I can put towards my baby's future and $US5000 makes a difference in my life,' Hill, a children's art teacher in Los Angeles, told the TODAY Moms website.
'Here's the chance for me to do something really positive for my unborn son or daughter.'
The baby, due in September, will have its name chosen from a list of five possible girl names and five possible boy names, website owner Lacey Moler told NBC.
The names were chosen by Moler, her staff and several advertisers who provided the prize money, Moler said.
There will be rules, including no product names or anything 'too crazy'.
Hill says she doesn't understand why people are so shocked at her decision to let strangers name her baby.
'Strangers, after all, wrote all those baby naming books,' she said.
'Just opening one up and picking something you like with your finger' is also random, she said.
Hill even joked that the baby might get a more 'reasonable' name if strangers choose it rather than she and her boyfriend.
She told the Huffington Post that so far her favourites are Keturah for a girl and Winter for a boy.

America's Fatigue in the Fight Against Racism
"The stated purpose of the Civil War Amendments was to arm Congress with the power and authority to protect all persons within the Nation from violations of their rights by the States," writes Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in her dissent against the five justices who ruled to overturn Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) today.
The reason for citing this fact of history is straightforward: In it resides the core dispute of Shelby County, Alabama v. Holder, the case decided by the Supreme Court this morning.
The Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution was the last of the three Civil War amendments and arguably the most controversial. It was one thing to emancipate the slaves (the Thirteenth Amendment) or guarantee equal protection under the law (the Fourteenth Amendment), but the Fifteenth granted suffrage to black men, which was a bridge too far for many whites, in both the North and South. To Southern politicians of the time, it was "the most revolutionary measure" to ever pass Congress.
The full text of the amendment is as such: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." What's more, "The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
For nearly a century after its passage, the first clause was all but unenforced. States—in the South and otherwise—were permitted to restrict the franchise for blacks through use of poll taxes, literacy tests, grandfather clauses, and broad criminal codes that required disenfranchisement for the smallest offenses. The Voting Rights Act, as Justice Ginsburg explains, was Congress' attempt to actualize the second clause of the Fifteenth Amendment, and begin to fix the abuses of the past.
In particular, Section 4 of the law sets down a formula to identify which state and local governments with a history of racial discrimination are required to "pre-clear" (a provision of Section 5) changes to voting law with the federal government. By and large, these are the states of the former Confederacy and other areas with a history of low black turnout and laws that sought to reduce black voting.
In his opinion—speaking for the 5–4 majority—Chief Justice John Roberts takes pains to emphasize the extent to which he isn't opposed to the goal of ending racial discrimination in voting. He just doesn't believe the current formula reflects the progress of the last 40 years, particularly in terms of black turnout and rates of officeholding. Striking it down gives Congress a chance to reevaluate the formula, and to devise one that reflects the conditions of the present moment.
This sounds reasonable, but there are two facts that make this an extraordinary decision. First, it ignores the extent to which Congress built flexibility into the VRA with its 2006 reauthorization, which passed with near-unanimous support after months of investigation and intensive hearings. For instance, if a state or local government can show a decade of compliance—as well as progress toward remedying racial discrimination in voting—it can receive an exemption. The states and localities that continue to fall under pre-clearance are those that show ongoing patterns of discrimination on top of meeting the standards set out in Section 4. "All told," notes Ginsburg, "between 1982 and 2006, DOJ objections blocked over 700 voting changes based on a determination that the changes were discriminatory." In reauthorizing the VRA with the same formula, Congress emphasized the extent to which it felt comfortable with this continued vigilance. To cite progress as a reason for striking it down, Ginsburg writes, "is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet."
The second thing relates back to the Fifteenth Amendment. Yes, Roberts says that Congress can revisit Section 4 and devise a new formula. But the reality is this: There's little chance that Republicans in either chamber would sign on to revising the VRA. Which means that, for all intents and purposes, pre-clearance—which relies on Section 4 for its teeth—is no longer in effect. If Congress was trying to fulfill the mandate of the Fifteenth by reauthorizing the VRA, then Roberts has said, "No, you can't, because times have changed."
The problem is that our long history of apartheid, discrimination, and white supremacy requires an equally long attempt at repair and reconciliation. It's why the 2006 reauthorization extended the VRA for another quarter century: because "40 years has not been a sufficient amount of time to eliminate the vestiges of discrimination following nearly 100 years of disregard for the dictates of the 15th amendment," the law's authors note.
The last three years are proof positive of this assessment. Writing for Colorlines, Brentin Mock notes that four states—Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi—have passed voter identification laws that could disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of people, the large majority of whom are African Americans. The Justice Department was able to block these under pre-clearance, but the Court's ruling now means they can go forward. It's also not hard to find information on Republican-passed laws that restricted early voting, made registration more difficult, closed polling locations (almost always in predominantly minority precincts), and created new, more onerous requirements for casting a ballot. These laws are largely the reason that African Americans waited in line to vote nearly twice as long as their white counterparts. That this occurred mostly in the states of the former Confederacy (the ones formerly covered by pre-clearance) is no accident.
A whole host of people—with far more expertise than I'll ever have—will debate this ruling for a long time. But at the risk of hyperbole, I think it's worth offering a few early thoughts on what it might mean in the broad history of this country's fight for racial equality.
It is difficult to overstate the extent to which racism is tied to the history of this country. Without slavery, the Declaration of Independence is hard to imagine. Without fealty to Jim Crow, there is no New Deal. At various points however—the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Civil Rights Movement—we have tried to loosen our bonds to racism and rectify the evil of the past. Each time, we make genuine progress. The 1890s were a time of savage violence and disadvantage for African Americans, but they weren't enslaved. Blacks were still far behind the mainstream in the 1970s, but they had gained new opportunities for advancement. But to fully disentangle racism from national life requires a tremendous amount of energy. After all, you don't just need to provide formal equality or encourage tolerance, you need to reform the whole system—the full range of institutions that privilege whites at the expense of blacks and other minorities.
Americans have never been able to commit to that project. Reconstruction was a start, and it ended in failure after a decade of Northern frustration and Southern hostility. The Great Society and the civil rights laws of the 1960s constitute the beginnings of a second attempt, and in the case of the Voting Rights Act, it was a significant success.
But that success hasn't fixed the problem, and many Americans have grown tired of trying to remedy the effects of racism. By striking down Section 4 of the VRA and ignoring the clear words of the Fifteenth Amendment, Roberts is elevating white America's racial fatigue into constitutional law.
Is this a backlash? I'm not sure. But between the Court's ruling on the VRA, the ongoing assaults on affirmative action, and the white public's belief in its own marginalization, I will say that, yet again, we have reached the limits of what this country will do to address the conditions of African Americans. Or, if not that, then we're taking another break—not a long one, let's hope—from grappling with the implications of our history.

I don't care that there may be Whites who are "fatigued" by Racism. Nor do I know that that is what's happening. It's a convenient fatigue if you never cared in the first place. This 60-something white woman thinks that those who EVER Cared cannot afford, and do not think in terms of, fatigue. We think - "SCOTUS did WHAT today?"
Then some of us curse a blue streak, and grab a phone, a checkbook, a friend, or social media. We take a deep breath and, counting on Dr. King's truth about TheTrajectory of Justice, try to figure out what a next step forward might look like.

What's actually unconstitutional is the SCOTUS's power to nullify laws by declaring them unconstitutional. Contrary to liberal myth this power has been used far more to protect the powerful than the powerless.
Read James MacGregor Burns's Packing The Court to learn what a Democratic president and Democratic party with balls would do in response to today's outrageous usurpation of power.

Sorry dude, The Majority cannot be permitted to discriminate against the majority. The Supreme Court ruled in the Prop 8 case that guess what? They could NOT prove harm is done to them by gay marriage or the ruling by the district court, so they ahve no legal standing to bring a court case based on that alone. It did NOT negate the Prop 8 case... the ruling by Judge Vaughn did. Try to educate yourself before making uninformed comments. that also have nothing to do with the Voting Rights act case.

What I want to know is how the hell does a elitest, sheltered conservative WHITE male judge decide that "things have changed" so much that this does not require preclearance protections? What is his POV as a white male and where did he get his research? Was he on another planet during the last election?? did he not read about or see the long lines of people trying to vote and the efforts by Republicans to suppress voters who might be voting Democratic? The fact that a black man was elected President twice is NOT owing entirely to the reduction in racism in this country as we witnessed in effort to suppress voters! And now those same states are going crazy to lay down MORE obstacles since this ruling. NOW it is going to be a terrible burden on the part of individual voters to prove discrimnation and take theie case, if they have the money to do so, through the LONG process of court review, while they are facing discrimination and nullification of their voting rights?! HOW un-American and UN-democratic can we be? the Republican haters are licking theri chops over this victory, but they need to remember, the door of precedent can swing BOTH ways... next time it will be their butts getting hit in the behind by that door, as this country turns more brown and the voters will NOT be gerrymandered out of their rights!

Well, there are a lot of people "fatigued by racism", I think -- or at least fatigued by all the talk about racism. And the sad truth is, there really is no end to the fight against racism -- either in ourselves or in our society.
I know this is a harsh statement for a lot of people. We love the idea that after a tough fight we can relax, go on to other things, take it easy, not have to be so watchful. And that's just not the way racism works.
Maybe it's our (well, at least my) Christian upbringing. From the day we can begin to understand the concepts, we get told that after seventy or eighty years we'll go to heaven, float around on clouds, hang out with other Christians... Everything about our culture says we are entitled to a reward for all our hard work. Heck, we want a reward for any hard work.
Incidentally, just to borrow a page from another religion, this idea that racism is not something you can ever 'rest' from says to me that the fight against racism is a form of jihad. And those of you who are getting asked by your children what the word means (jihad, not racism), might want to consider using the fight against racism as an example of how a good Muslim practices jihad.
And poor Paula Deen, bless her heart (as we say in the South), is not really an aberration. How can we find her mistakes so amazing when there are obviously people exactly like her sitting on the Supreme Court? Everybody wants to say, "So what if I made an unfortunate comment? What about all the days (and days; and days) when I didn't say anything even remotely racist? Why don't I get credit for that?" And the answer may be that fighting racism is a form of jihad. You can't rest. Maybe we're biologically programmed to be racist? Well, that's just too darned bad. Life's tough. Get over it. The fight doesn't end.
And that's about the size of it. This county in Alabama (which I think was the original plaintiff) wants a pat on the head for having avoided any of the truly egregious trappings of racism for -- goodness me! -- almost fifty years! As though that was something they should be proud of.
Well, this is America. I guess everybody gets a medal here.

Ottawa, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - Ottawa Senators general manager Bryan Murray was recently diagnosed with cancer.
The Senators made the announcement Monday in a statement, but did not disclose the type of cancer.
"Mr. Murray is undergoing further testing and will begin treatment immediately for this condition as prescribed by the team's doctors in collaboration with specialists," the team said in the statement Monday.
"Mr. Murray's treatment schedule may require him to be away from the Senators office periodically. During his periodic absence, assistant general managers Pierre Dorion and Randy Lee will be responsible for managing the Ottawa Senators hockey operations department.
"On behalf of the entire Senators family, the team is asking that the thoughts, prayers and support of the entire hockey community are with Bryan and his family.
"The Senators and Mr. Murray ask that you please respect his family's privacy during this time."
Murray just signed a two-year contract extension in January and was also given the title of president of hockey operations. He will remain with the organization in an advisory role upon the conclusion of the extension in 2016.
The 71-year-old Murray has been with the franchise since June 2004 when he was named the team's head coach. He then took over the general manager's duties on June 18, 2007.
Murray had a record of 100-46-18 as head coach from 2005-07, guiding the Senators to the Stanley Cup Finals in the spring of 2007. He also coached the team for the final 18 games of the 2007-08 campaign after firing John Paddock.
Before joining the Senators, Murray served as the senior vice president and general manager for Anaheim. He took over as the Ducks' head coach in 2001 and moved to the front office the following season, building a club that went to the Cup Finals in the spring of 2003.
Murray just completed his 19th season as a GM, having served with the Panthers (1994-2000) and Red Wings (1990-94) before a two-year run in Anaheim. He began his NHL coaching career with the Washington Capitals in November 1981 and captured the Jack Adams Award as Coach of the Year for the 1983-84 campaign.

I bought this to go with the entire fire hose pants/shorts/jacket/shirt/tool bag/firewood carrier ensemble I bought my Minnesota honey for Christmas. I returned it as defective only to find I ordered the wrong one.( It was the only one in the catalog).
On the phone I was informed there was a slightly pricier one that actually HAD a metal hook on the back of it, so it works GREAT now!
Pros...It matches the set and is the same tough fire hose material

WASHINGTON ? Defense Secretary Robert Gates is promising to try to spare more gay troops from being dismissed from the military while the Pentagon takes a year to study revising its "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
An announcement of the study, expected Tuesday before the Senate Armed Services Committee, marks a measured step toward President Barack Obama's goal of eliminating the military's policy against gays, which is based on a 1993 law.
Obama has called on Congress to repeal the law, but Democrats say they want more guidance on how to allow openly gay service members to serve without causing a major upheaval

Carcinoid Tumor - Overview [1]
ON THIS PAGE: You will find some basic information about this disease and the parts of the body it may affect. This is the first page of Cancer.Net's Guide to Carcinoid Tumors. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen. Think of that menu as a roadmap to this full guide.
About the endocrine system and endocrine tumors
The endocrine system consists of cells that produce hormones. Hormones are chemical substances that are carried through the bloodstream to have a specific regulatory effect on the activity of other organs or cells in the body. Part of the endocrine system is the neuroendocrine system, which is made up of cells that are a cross between traditional hormone-producing cells and nerve cells.
A tumor begins when normal cells change and grow uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor. A tumor can be cancerous or benign. A cancerous tumor is malignant, meaning it can spread to other parts of the body. A benign tumor means the tumor will not spread and usually can be removed without it causing much harm.
An endocrine tumor is a mass that affects the parts of the body that produce and release hormones. Because an endocrine tumor develops from cells that produce hormones, the tumor itself can produce hormones and cause serious illness.
About carcinoid tumors
A carcinoid tumor starts in the hormone-producing cells of various organs. Carcinoid tumors most often develop in the gastrointestinal tract, in organs such as the stomach or intestines, or in the lungs. However, a carcinoid tumor can also develop in the pancreas, a man's testicles, or a woman's ovaries. More than one carcinoid tumor can occur in the same organ.
Here is a general overview of where carcinoid tumors begin:
- 39% occur in the small intestine.
- 15% occur in the rectum.
- 10% occur in the bronchial system of the lungs.
- 7% occur in the appendix.
- 5% to 7% occur in the colon.
- 2% to 4% occur in the stomach.
- 2% to 3% occur in the pancreas.
- About 1% occurs in the liver.
- They rarely occur in ovaries, testicles, and other organs.
Because carcinoid tumors are a type of neuroendocrine tumor [3], they can make high levels of neuropeptides and amines (hormone-like substances). However, these substances may not be released in large enough amounts to cause symptoms, or the substances may be defective and not cause symptoms. As a result, a carcinoid tumor can grow slowly for many years without causing symptoms. Although a carcinoid tumor is cancerous, it is often described as "cancer in slow motion."
There are two subtypes of lung carcinoid tumors: typical and atypical. The difference is based on how a tumor processes and makes serotonin (5-HT). Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in behavior and depression.
- A typical lung carcinoid tumor produces high levels of serotonin and chromogranin-A in the blood and high levels of 5-HIAA (a product of serotonin breakdown) in the urine.
- An atypical lung carcinoid tumor produces normal levels of serotonin and chromogranin-A in the blood and normal levels of 5-HIAA in the urine but high levels of serotonin and 5-HTP (an amino acid) in the urine, and it can make 5-HTP.

Popular stainless steel is durable & easy to clean. When you see 18/10, "18" is chromium; the 2nd number is nickel, providing a shiny, rust-resistant finish. Higher is better.
Lightweight, inexpensive & an excellent heat conductor. The key to aluminum cookware is thickness. A downside is it can react with acidic/alkaline foods to corrode the material.
Hard-anodized cookware is twice as hard as stainless steel, has the heat conductivity of aluminum & has a non-stick surface. It's best to hand wash your Hard-Anodized cookware.
Other cookset materials include Copper, Cast Iron, Enamel on Steel and Glass cookware, each with its own price tag, benefits and detriments.

Bouncy Castle wrote:Lynden Dorval, 61, has been a physics teacher at Ross Sheppard High School in Edmonton, Canada, and has worked in the local public school system for 35 years.
At the end of the school year in June, he faced a dilemma: a school policy that forbids teacher from giving a zero grade to students (the new requirement: "assigning behaviour codes for formative assessments") was in the way of his doing just that to students who had failed to turn in their work.
"It's promoting students without having them do the work," he says, so he ignored the policy in favor of grading the kids on actual work. But, he said, "students were always allowed to make up their zero." He was suspended for 21 days.
When he appealed the suspension, he was terminated. He now faces a new dilemma: he can retire, and protect his pension, or file a lawsuit, and risk losing everything.
Other Canadian provinces have given up on their "no zero" policies because "it proved to be a complete disaster" for students, a teacher in Manitoba said.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

CM Punk's character change, wrestling-wise, makes no sense. He was beating top contenders clean for 6+ months, then he turns heel, not because there was somebody better than him, but because he felt he was overshadowed, which has nothing to do with his wrestling ability and all of a sudden I'm supposed to believe he lost the ability to wrestle on a main event level?
It would also fit his character better, if he just beat some contenders or a contender cleanly, since he's supposed to be the best in the world.
But that's just the way WWE portrays their heel wrestlers.

Leo F. Giblyn president of the Board of Educa-tion, advised the members .of the Northwest Civic Association at their monthly meeting in the Hose Co. 4 firehouse Monday night. He explained three classes would be shirted to the new structure, but added it had not been decided from -which grade they would be taken. Mr. Giblyn said he believed it would be necessary to purchse a site for a school to house children from the kindergarten through the third grade in the extreme southern end of the village. He reported also that plans were being prepared for thft'school to be erected on the Merrick rd. and Washington st. plot, but said probably several sets would be drawn before any were adopted, The school board president also said the present Seaman ave. school would be retained after it has been ..vacated by the pupils it now houses to move into the new building to be used to accommo-date the overflow of other schools Jn the village. He pointed to the fact 105 homes are being erected in the northwest-ern section, and said that that 15 children of families who now occu-pay- 12 completed structures were enrolled in the Seaman ave. school, as an indication that it would not be long before all the rooms In the new structure would have to be used for children from the district. Mr. Giblyn pointed also lo the high birthrate prevailing in the village, saying that while 324 chil- j dren were born in 39-10, the number increased to 412 In 19-JG and in 1947, the last year for which figures are available, the total was 578. Vice-president Kenneth E. Vought presided in the absence of Presi-dent Ralph L. Marshall. Buildings, ^Village Eddie Vasil INTRODUCES ... Wilbert F. De Mott "Ask Bert De Mott" . . . Sooner or later, whether you'are planning to remodel your home, or build a skyscrajwr, you will hear the state-ment, "Ask Bert De Mott." This is so, not because he is a spreme judge who must pass decision on all building projects, but because he is a walking encyclopedia of the rules, regulations and ordinances that are necessary in a modern, last-growing city, and an excellent official to be Superintendent of the De-partment of of Freeport. * * * When first seeing Mr. De Mott one is easily deceived, for he looks more like a-quiet country doctor, than a man who's whole life has been actively engaged in construction and architectur-al projects. Bert is a true Long Islander, born in Baldwin sixty years ago. Then, however, Long Island was not the highly popu-lated section it is today, but con-sisted of farms and villages. When he first came to Freeport the population was only about five thousand people. * * * Bert De Mott was graduated from Baldwin High School and attended the nationally famous Pratt Institute where he majored Stores to Remain Open Evenings Until Easter Most of the stores on Main st. and Merrlck'rd. will keep open nights starting Friday and continu-ing until Easier, Jack Green an-nounced today for the Merchants Division of the Freeport Chamber of Commerce. This, he said, is for the convenience of residents of Freeport and neighboring communi-ties .who otherwise would be unable to do t h e i r Easter shopping here. All the Mores still have an abund-ance of merchandise from which to select. They are reasonably priced, following the trend t h a t has set In throughout, $e nation to lower the cost of merchandise gen-erally. rec- K. WILBERT F. DE MOTT REV. ROY BRENNNAN GIVES LENTEN TALK TO KIWANIS The Rev. Roy Brennan, pastor of St. Marks M.E. Church, Rockville Centre, gave the address at the weekly supper of the Kiwanis Club of Freeport In the Elks club-house yesterday. He gave a talk appropriate to the Lenten season and Easter. Assistant D i s t r i c t Attorney Moxey Rigby will speak next Wed-nesday night. in Architectural Engineering. Prior to the eleven years with the Freeport Department of Buildings, he was associated with the American Bridge Com- -pany, Construction Estimator for the T h o m p kins Contracting lompany, Project Engineer, Curtis Aircraft and Motor Co., Superintend-nt and Manager of Rogers Airlines. It was with this latter concern .hat he designed and built a flying boat which won him a coveted Department of Commerce Certificate, (now CAA.) A great deal of his tnowledge in aerodynamics and structural engineering has been acquired by self-study, experience and experiments. » » • » The Department of Buildings, especially in these days of expansion, s one of the busiest units in Freeport's municipal administration. It must advise future builders, advice which prevents future expensive rrors, enforce laws pertaining to the safety of structures, ffre hazards, oning ordinances, plumbing codes, Installation of oil burners, and erec-ion of signs. It must also oversee places of public assembly, Industrial nd commercial buildings, as required by the laws of the New York state Department of Labor. AH these duties are performed capably and efficiently under 'the fine supervision of Wilbert De Mott, yet with a staff of only three other men, Mr. Young, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Sellars. Mr. De Mott is often called on for advice in situations which are unre-lated to his office, because of his experience and knowledge regarding the land contour of the village and its multiple' problems. • _ _ ' , . + * ' * * • Bert De Mott Is. married to the former Mae Raynor (t,he family well-known Ui Long island for many years) and resides at 28 Leonard Avenue. Like all men born in this area, his favorite pastime sports have been h u n t i n g and fishing. He is a member of the Masonic Order, Spartan Lodge, and the Northeast Civic Association. A quiet friendly man, but as solid a citizen as can be found in this great Village of Freeport. •l '-y # * * With a full background'in construction, designing and building, Mr. Wilbert De Mott is truly an excellent official to head this important department. His twenty-four active years in the contracing business and his thirty-five years of intimate knowledge of Freeport from Its infancy stage, have created a wealthy reservoir of knowledge which Frank S.
