Edmonton Oilers center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had great expectations for the 2012-13 season. But a nagging shoulder limited his effectiveness and he struggled mightily for a disappointing team.Now he recovering from shoulder surgery and preparing for the start of training camp. Nugent-Hopkins will initially be limited to non-contact drills. It remains to be seen if he will miss some early-season games."I think everybody is going to be a little bit cautious," Nugent-Hopkins recently told Edmonton reporters. "It's important to make sure that it's going to be good for the rest of my career and make sure that it's 100 percent when I start back up."Nugent-Hopkins scored 18 goals and earned 34 assists in 62 games two years ago. But last season he delivered just four goals and 20 assists despite playing with highly skilled linemates."My shot feels great. It feels probably a little bit better than last season even," he said. "I'm definitely happy with that. It was something I wanted to impr

Now here at last, is McCourt's long-awaited audiobook about how his thirty-year teaching career shaped his second act as a writer. Teacher Man is also an urgent tribute to teachers everywhere. In bold and spirited prose featuring his irreverent wit and heartbreaking honesty, McCourt records the trials, triumphs, and surprises he faces in public high schools around New York City.
©2005 Green Peril Corp.; (P)2005 Simon and Schuster Inc. All rights reserved.
"Should be mandatory reading for every teacher in America. And it wouldn't hurt some politicians to read it, too." (Publishers Weekly)
"Teacher Man is an irresistible valedictory, about a man finding his voice in the classroom, on the page and in his soul." (The New York Times)
I LOVE BOOKS! I have a service business (large salon). 'What are you reading' is heard all day everyday.
"Fun, quick, well done!"
"Quit bothering me, man". I don't know how ANYONE can tolerate teaching teens. God bless'm! I have some of my own. It is my opinion that teachers should be held in the highest esteem, paid exobintantly and worshipped by all. Teachers have the most important jobs in any society (no, I'm not a teacher). "Teacher Man" was absolutely fantastic and enjoyable. Read well... My only wish was that it was longer.
"Insightful and fun"
It was great listening to Frank McCourt recount his memories of teaching in New York City. He is honest, insightful, and humorous. He tells his story in a blunt and humorous way. He doesn't try to make himself sound like a goody-goody teacher who was out to save the world; yet he probably made a huge impact on many students. I will look at my students with "wider eyes and a better listening heart" from now on. He is definitely a "late bloomer" as he, himself admitted in his book. I loved his previous book, Angela's Ashes; tolerated his book Tis, but I LOVED this new book of his!!!
"Exceptional Audiobook"
I loved this book and wished it were longer. I could have listened to Frank McCourt's stories of teaching for hours and hours (and I heard the unabridged version). His teaching career ran the gamut of high school experiences -- from vocational high school to elite college prep, with a little community college thrown in. And somewhere in these teaching experiences, he "found himself."
Mr. McCourt is an exceptional reader -- better than most authors who read their own books. His accent is charming, and easy to understand. His voice added greatly to the memoir.
"Wonderful to listen to"
This was the most wonderful memoir. McCourt has spoken for many educators who just want to be left alone to teach in classrooms of America. We want the politicians to just "Leave people alone" We are all doing the best that we can, considering the talent we have been sent. We help some to grow academically, but mostly we want to help them to grow into productive members of society. The politicians want us to send out a group of lemmings. Education is about teaching to differences and teaching diferently. McCourt celebrates just that as he reads to us about the love of his life... Helping children, and young adults to see the wonder within themsleves.
"For the teachers"
Those of you who are part of this circle, this is a must. If you teach, then you can relate and empathise with Teacher Man as he recalls and recounts his exploits as a HS English teacher in NYC.
Rather a slow read, with great highlight and some parts that drag on, perhaps it might be better with the abridged version.
Read by the author, always a plus!
Gold - for those who teach and can relate
Silver - for those who are looking for an interesting read, but slow.
Bronz - for those who want action adventure and wild themes.
I believe a reviewer should finish a book before submitting a review. What do you think?
"love the accent"
This book was wonderful, a joy to hear. I liked the first two books a bit better though, this one was on self indulgent side. His stories of teaching high school kids are fun. A good listen.
"More interesting stories from Mr. McCourt"
This book contains more interesting stories about an interesting life. As you read (listen to) this book it is fun to keep in mind the Pulitzer Prize won by this most unassuming author. Angela's Ashes was one of the most amazing stories I have ever read. I also read and enjoyed 'Tis. The author tells his own humble story as a long time high school teacher and never boasts about or even mentions his previous award winning best seller. This exemplifies the humility that makes him so great. He focuses on what he gained from his students and the experience in all his years of teaching English, not on what he gave back to the literary world. His perspective is refreshing to hear and I can't wait for his next book.
"loved it"
Reading this book confirmed to me that I went into the right profession. McCourt's stories about teaching for 30 years in NYC public schools was very inspirational to read and at times I just laughed out loud becuase I knew exactly what he was talking about. It really is a great read espeically if you are a teacher.
tired teacher
"A Master Teacher"
Being a high school teacher myself, I found this book to be funny and heartwarming. It hit close to home, and I found myself commiserating with McCourt in many circumstances. He dignifies the profession of teaching, and makes me proud to be a teacher.
"excellent for anyone"
teachar or not -- you will love this book whether you are a teacher or not.

Phoenix Suns
Alvin Gentry, Phoenix Suns determined to end skid
For head coach Alvin Gentry and the Phoenix Suns, consistency on the offensive side of the court has been hard to come by.
Gentry's offense -- or lack thereof -- has resulted in only one win over the Suns' last nine games, with five of them being at US Airways Center.
"We lost rhythm, and we just never got it back," Gentry said in regards to the Suns offensive struggles. "We've got to have rhythm about our offense."
The month of December was a roller coaster for the Suns, providing losing streaks of five and six games. But it was a four-game winning streak sandwiched in between when the Suns were playing at their season's best.
The Suns continued their struggles into the new year with losses in two of their three games at home while averaging a mere 83.3 points per game. The Suns' season average is 96.3.
"We're frustrated from the standpoint of what has happened offensively in the last two or three games," Gentry said. "We're frustrated from the fact that we're not winning."
Gentry's offense hasn't produced the points necessary to match the enhanced defensive play of the Suns. Fast-break points have been inconsistent of late, with an average of eight per game during the three game homestand. The team's points off turnover ratio hasn't proved to help the Suns, either.
"We got to be able to convert turnovers," Gentry said. "Defensively we have been better, but our offense has suffered."
Gentry, however, doesn't believe the defensive improvement has had a direct effect on the offensive struggles, which have led Gentry to throw a wrench into the offensive mix.
Since a loss to the Timberwolves on Dec. 29, Gentry has moved P.J. Tucker into the starting lineup for Shannon Brown. The adjustment was made in hopes of providing a boost on defense for the Suns, along with a consistent force on offense.
"P.J. gives us a presence out there that we really need from a defensive standpoint," Gentry said. "But also, he comes up with some loose balls and he makes some plays that help you win games."
The team's struggles won't deter Gentry from making further roster moves, including giving forward Wesley Johnson some game time over Michael Beasley.
"He deserves an opportunity," Gentry said. "I think we do need to take a good look at him. In certain situations, we are going to try Michael (Beasley) and see if he can give us a boost."
Whatever way it has to be done, Gentry and the Suns are determined to turn the recent struggles around.
His players are on the same page.
"If you're not embarrassed by losing, that's a problem," center Jermaine O'Neal said. "And if you're not tired about losing, that's a whole other problem."
"The only ones that can turn it around are the people in the locker room," Gentry said. "Everyone has got to be involved."

President Barbara K. Mistick and Wilson College Trustees were joined by students and their families, faculty members and friends for a ribbon cutting to open the new pedestrian footbridge on May 19. The bridge, which is located behind the dorms, allows easy access over the Conocheague Creek to the college's Penn Hall Equestrian Center.
Prior to cutting the ribbon, Mistick said she was especially happy to have made the bridge possible for Wilson's students, since many had expressed their desire for a new bridge during her candidacy for president. The old bridge failed after a storm in 2008.
Chambersburg's Mayor Peter Lagiovane noted the importance of the bridge and Director of Equine Studies, John Tukey, said he was delighted that the project had been completed. Tukey also expressed his gratitude to Mistick and Wilson's Trustees for making the bridge possible.
Many students come to Wilson to incorporate their interest in horses into their college studies. Wilson's programs in Equestrian Studies and Equine-Facilitated Therapeutics are popular. Wilson also offers a degree in Equine Journalism and a variety of minors in equine studies. In addition, students can participate in intercollegiate teams and equestrian clubs.
Mistick, Lagiovane and Chair of the Buildings and Grounds Committee, Trustee Jane E. Murray, cut the ribbon and then Mistick and Wilson Senior Stephanie Bachman led the crowd across the bridge to the Penn Hall Equestrian Center. Ice cream was offered upon their return crossing, ending the event sweetly.
The 60-foot-long prefabricated bridge is made of self-weathering steel with composite decking and was built by Contech Engineered Solutions in Greencastle. A new lighted path to the equestrian facilities has also been added. General contractor of the project is R.S. Mowery and Sons of Mechanicsburg.

Let's talk about that win over Chicago.
First of all, let's reiterate, it was a win over Chicago. Those always feel good, even if the teams are in a virtual tie this season and it wasn't last year's Stanley Cup monster. Patrick Sharp scored two goals, giving him seven for the year against the Union Blue. And the Blackhawks still lost. This is so very satisfying.
Even Anton Stralman scored a goal! Wait, what? That promised "offensive defenseman†who threatened arbitration because he thought he was worth so much money and has gone on to score exactly zero goals this season and has instead been a defensive liability? Oh yes, him! He finally scored a goal! The game-winning goal, to be specific. So props to him, at least for that.
For the 2,312,857th time: how good is Matt Calvert? Oh-so-very good. Can he be cloned? The kid has hustle and determination, and he doesn't really care if you want to take a piggyback ride on him through two zones, he's going to go ahead and score on your goalie anyway.
And props to Kris Russell, who saved Steve Mason's rear end big time tonight by whisking away what could have been a game-crushing goal for Chicago.
Instead of studs and duds, let's just go ahead and give everybody a group butt-pat and enjoy the taste of those lovely two points. Sit the playoff discussion aside for an evening, stop the scoreboard watching, let's just enjoy the way this team is playing right now. It feels good.
In case you missed it: Rookie John Moore played in Chicago as Marc Methot was out with an injury … Derek Dorsett was IRed to make room for him, but Moore was reassigned after the game … Derek Brassard is currently on the IR with a hand injury … Ethan Moreau (remember him?) was reactivated and played last night … the Jackets set a franchise record with their sixth straight road victory and have points in their last eight road games (courtesy of the Dispatch).
Where we stand: 29-23-6 (64 points), -4 8th place Anaheim
What's next: Tuesday vs Nashville, 7pm, huge four-pointer

[color=darkred]Hello guys and gals,
I'm not familiar with this forum, but as a fan of Terry Pratchett I look at the website from time to time. As part of my everyday's job I received last week the email featured hereunder. This is a press release from a Belgian biotech company ... I'll let you read it if you are able to understand and there are some links to useful sites.
For those who know what Alzheimer means in everyday's life, this is a tremendous sign of hope. And hope is a rather scarce commodity these days ...
This is the least I can do for Terry and his fans, as he made me laugh out loud so often in the subway !!! If only he would feel like writing a book in relation to financial markets I'd be delighted ... Well that would demand an excessive amount of delirious humour as reality is already well advanced in this field !! I'm not sure that even Terry could cope with it !

Galapagos reveals key drug target for Alzheimer's disease
· Starting point for potential breakthrough treatment
· Published in Science
· U.S. patent granted
Mechelen, Belgium; 13 February 2009 - Galapagos NV (Euronext: GLPG) announces the discovery of a human drug target that plays a key role in Alzheimer's disease. This breakthrough was published today in Science, one of the world's most prestigious scientific journals. The data presented in Science are a result of the collaboration between Galapagos and the academic group of Professor Bart De Strooper at the Flanders Institute for Biotechnology VIB and the KU Leuven in Belgium. The U.S. patent office has granted Galapagos a patent on this discovery.
"GPR3 is a promising drug target for developing a treatment for Alzheimer's. There is a lack of drug targets in this field, and it is gratifying that Galapagos discovered GPR3," commented Onno van de Stolpe, CEO of Galapagos. "Through this collaboration with Professor Bart De Strooper, one of the leading experts in the Alzheimer's field, we have been able to prove the key role of GPR3 in Alzheimer's and are excited that we can now share these data with the scientific community. Galapagos is now starting drug discovery with the aim to deliver a candidate drug to treat Alzheimer's disease."
Crucial role of drug target
The Science article describes how GPR3 was identified in human cells using Galapagos' platform. The article further describes the role of GPR3 in Alzheimer's disease. Inhibition of GPR3 prevented the accumulation of beta-amyloid, a protein in the brains of Alzheimer's patients that is believed to cause the disease. The article also shows that GPR3 levels are higher in the areas of the brain that are affected in Alzheimer's patients. The activity of GPR3 can likely be inhibited with a small molecule drug. Taken together, GPR3 is a promising drug target for development of a treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
Galapagos has recently been awarded U.S. patent 7,429,459 for the use of GPR3 in screening for Alzheimer's drugs. Similar patent applications are pending in Europe and other major territories. Galapagos made its Alzheimer's discovery in the same way as its novel, patent-protected targets in bone & joint disease were identified.
The article entitled "The orphan G protein-coupled receptor 3 modulates amyloid-beta peptide generation in neurons" is available today through the Science website at www.sciencemag.org and is published in the 13 February[1] printed edition of the journal.
About Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease is a terminal, degenerative illness that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. In 2006 there were an estimated 27 million patients worldwide with Alzheimer; this is expected to quadruple by 2050. There is no cure available for Alzheimer; current therapies address only symptoms of the disease.
About Galapagos' Alzheimer's disease program
Galapagos identified novel targets in Alzheimer's disease using its proprietary adenoviral based discovery platform. This work was supported by a €1.4 million grant from the Flemish IWT. A number of novel targets were identified, including GPR3, and patent applications were filed on the role of these targets in Alzheimer's disease. In January 2006, Galapagos made the strategic decision to focus its internal drug discovery on the bone and joint diseases, but continued working on the Alzheimer's disease program through a collaboration with Professor Bart De Strooper of the VIB and KU Leuven (Belgium). Galapagos plans to enter into discussions with potential pharmaceutical partners while progressing GPR3 into drug discovery.
About Galapagos

The Blower Shop
With the success of our 192 and 250 Low Profile Superchargers, we felt the next logical step was to incorporate the same state-of-the-art machining technique and high-quality material in the development of our larger 6-71 through 14-71 blowers. The use of this material allows us to CNC-machine it to a much closer tolerance than a cast case would allow.
Castings are susceptible to a few undesirable traits: distortion, core shifts, and porosity. Bar stock, having a longitudinal grain structure, provides a more stable and consistent property, which not only provides greater strength, but resists distortion during the machining process. Plus, this lack of porosity allows a polished finish far superior to a casting. This case, combined with our proven Billet bearing plates and front cover, produces a solid piece of machinery that truly looks as well as it works. Options, including full Teflon or O.D. strips in rotors, are available. Please call (661) 229-5483 for price and availability.

Nitrous HP Camshaft Series
Nitrous HP cams, as the name would imply, are designed to greatly enhance the performance of nitrous-assisted and boosted (supercharged and/or turbocharged) engines. COMP Cams engineers created these camshafts to pack a denser air/fuel mixture into the combustion chamber, yet still do a great job of removing the spent exhaust charge after ignition.
Nitrous HP cams feature increased duration to help optimize exhaust scavenging under boost or when nitrous oxide is used. By opening the exhaust valve several crankshaft degrees earlier, the engine is better able to scavenge larger amounts of the exhaust gases resulting from added fuel and nitrous oxide. In addition, the camshaft's reduced overlap design increases engine vacuum, a critical requirement with street-based engines where power brakes and other add-on accessories require vacuum to operate. Best of all, engines equipped with Nitrous HP camshafts sound great--the other critical requirement with street-bound performance applications--resulting from the camshaft's earlier exhaust opening and longer duration. For more information about Nitrous HP cams or any COMP Cams products, call our toll-free CAM HELP tech line at (800) 999-0853.

Demon Blow-through Carburetor
The Mighty Demon Blow-through carburetor is developed for turbocharged and centrifugally supercharged applications. With an innovative throttle-shaft sealing arrangement, this carburetor is suited for pressurized environments, and is used in conjunction with the carburetor bonnets or enclosures from all leading forced-induction manufacturers. It features pressure-sealed throttle shafts with fuel curve and metering circuits calibrated specifically for turbo and supercharged applications. Mechanically operated secondaries provide instant response. Solid fuel floats permit the use of all racing and street gasoline, as well as methanol, without the risk of deterioration or distortion under boost. Patented streamlined air entries and concentric venturii provide excellent fuel distribution and consistent air-fuel ratios to each cylinder. Four-corner idle, large float-bowl windows, IdleEze valve, replaceable air bleeds, and idle-feed restrictors make tuning quick and easy. For more information, contact Barry Grant, Inc. at (706) 864-8544, or visit www.barrygrant.com.
* Bonnet not included with carburetor.

I haven't been up to anything impressive lately, but I did learn how to make these self binding receiving blankets today (after standing in an HOUR cutting counter line at Joanns….yuck….but flannel is %60 percent off….yay! ) This pattern is fun, it only took me about 20 minutes. I'm not sure where my pattern came from, but there is a nice tutorial here that is similar. This nice little stack is to give away, but I will definitely be making these for my own little one soon!

I love a good flannel - all my kiddos are "Blankie" kids and so it was nice to buy up a few meters for each of them so they would have more than one blankie that they could alternate between.

But any movie that is over say 2gb/1080p has issues streaming to my roku. It always freezes and buffers. So, looking through the settings on my nas I see that I have jumbo frame disabled. Is it best to keep it that way or enable it?

SD unemployment drops to 8 percent
Thousands of job seekers returned to San Diego County's labor force in February as the county's unemployment rate fell to its lowest point in more than four years.
Employers across the county added 9,800 San Diegans to their payrolls, the biggest jump from a January since 2002. The jobless rate dropped to 8 percent in February, its lowest since it was 7.4 percent in December 2008.
"This is fabulous," said Phil Blair, CEO of staffing agency Manpower San Diego. "People are out. They see these sort of numbers and they get energized and they should. If you're serious about a job search this should be your wake-up call."
The data released Friday by the Employment Development Department shows a continuing downward trend in the county's jobless rate, which was 9.4 percent a year ago.
"This is a sign that the local economy is in pretty good shape in terms of growth," said Alan Gin, economist at the University of San Diego. "We're still a long way from where we need to be. We were down so much that even good growth leaves us still in a bad situation, but it's not as bad."
The county unemployment rate, which was 8.6 percent in January also dropped for the right reason — the number of people in the labor force grew by 11,500, while the number of people who said they were unemployed fell by 9,400. In some past months, the jobless rate fell because the labor force got smaller — don't look for a job, you're not counted as unemployed.
That wasn't the case in February.
"More people were encouraged to look for work and more people found jobs," said Lynn Reaser, chief economist at Point Loma Nazarene University.
Business has been picking up, but employers like Diego & Sons Printing in Barrio Logan remain cautious on whether to ramp up hiring. Betty Aguilera, who co-founded Diego & Sons with her husband in 1972, said customers are beginning to order prints in bulk, such as for three months of supply as opposed to one month. That said, Diego & Sons — which added three full-time employees to its staff of 17 last year — isn't ready to keep expanding just yet.
"We just want things to level off and stay in that position so that we are more confident that we don't have to lay these people off," Aguilera said, noting Diego & Sons laid off six to eight people during the height of the downturn, which she said was the worst the business has endured in its 40 years.
Some hiring is picking up, as shown in the tourism industry, which led February's gain by adding 3,300 jobs.
Most of that gain came in the restaurant industry, which added 2,100 jobs.
"That is a good sign of increasing wealth since it is discretionary spending. And it is one of San Diego's largest employment sectors," said Kelly Cunningham, economist at the National University System Institute for Policy Research. "Only a portion of restaurant employment is due to visitors, most are actually local population serving."

I agree that is really annoying
One of my correspondents recalls that he interviewed Terry in 1987 for a university magazine. In that interview Terry said that one thing which had tickled him about Josh Kirby's artwork for the Equal Rites cover was that it subliminally (accidentally?) reflected the Freudian overtones of the book (references to "hot dreams", the angst of adolescence, things that might be called "magic" envy)... Kirby's artwork "coincidentally" draws Esk with the broom handle where a penis would be (traditionally supposed to be the basis of the "witches flying around on broomsticks" myth).

All students admitted to the School of Education are assigned advisers. Students are expected to work with their adviser to plan their programs of study. Each graduate program agreement, or changes thereto, must be approved by the adviser and the appropriate department chair, or the associate dean for academic programs. Courses taken without approval are taken at the student's risk. Each student is required to complete and file a program plan with the department before the completion of the sixth credit hour.

The chart outlines the general steps to completing the Master of Education and the Master of Science degrees. All other graduate-level students in the School of Education should refer to the appropriate section of this bulletin for information specific to these programs.
Admission to graduate study in the Master of Education or Master of Science programs does not constitute candidacy for a degree. Rather, students who have been admitted to graduate study are advanced to degree candidacy upon the recommendation of the adviser, core faculty and department in which the degree is sought.
Advancement to degree candidacy requires that students must have completed at least 12 but no more than 18 semester hours of graduate study with a minimum GPA of 3.0; must have demonstrated clearly the aptitude and ability to pursue graduate study, including independent study; must have exhibited a commitment to their profession; and must have demonstrated promise for a successful career in the field selected in terms of temperament and personality. Specific courses may be required prior to application for candidacy. Admission to degree candidacy is not an automatic process. Students must file an approved application for candidacy with their departments. Only students who have been admitted to candidacy may pursue additional work toward the degree.
The student will have only two opportunities to take the comprehensive examination. Failure to pass the comprehensive examination the second time will result in the student being dropped from the degree program.

The VCU Bulletin is in transition! As we move from this first iteration of our online Bulletin to a new product and process, what you find on this website is information for the 2014-15 academic year.
While much of the curricular information remains the same, changes that were approved with the effective date of fall 2015 will not be reflected on this website. Prospective students may wish to contact the school or department that administers their program of interest in order to discuss the most current curriculum and concentration options.
Enrolled students who are completing their studies under an effective Bulletin may continue to access the archives at http://www.pubapps.vcu.edu/Bulletins/archives.aspx, where past Bulletins are available to reference or download.
Our anticipated launch of the new VCU Bulletin is July 2015. To follow our progress, visit the new Bulletin blog.
