Latino male students in the US exhibits difficulty in having a proper behavior in classrooms because of their familiarity with the controversial Arizona immigration-enforcement bill, study shows. Such behaviors include disobedience and being noisy.
In the study published online in Ethic and Racial Studies titled "Awareness of Arizona immigration law SB1070 predicts classroom behavioral problems among Latino youths during early adolescence," it said that it is important in measuring young people's awareness of laws and the process of the awareness might influence their academic achievement in school. "The effects of the students' awareness of the immigration bill predicted lower levels of classroom regulatory behavior among the male students," Cecilia Menjivar, the co-author of the study, said.
She added that the effects of the Arizona immigration law did not vary depending on whether youth were first, second or third-generation immigrants. "Latino males are already at a higher risk for academic adjustment problems," she said.
The awareness of the Arizona immigration law was not seen as an important predictor of classroom behaviors among female students. On the other hand, the Latino boys who participated in the study with the awareness of Senate Bill 10170 were reported to have lower levels of classroom regulatory behaviors.
Carlos Santos, the lead author of this study, said that the research on the effect of the Arizona immigration law demonstrates that Latino males may be particularly vulnerable that many characterized as being discriminatory toward their ethnic group. In an article published by Eureka Alert, classroom regulatory behaviors like staying quiet or following directors were shown in the study to predict a variety of educational outcomes among the youths, especially for the Latino kids. Last 2014, the U.S. Department of Education said that Latino males had the biggest high school drop out rate compared to other groups.
Santos said that awareness of discriminatory laws such as SB 1070 [or the Arizona immigration law] may exacerbate the gender educational gap that already places Latino male students at a significant disadvantage. The law states that it would end its practice of requiring law enforcement officers to demand papers of people suspected to have no proper documentation.

Steve Jobs passed away. He was a mere 56. I will be 50 at the end of this year so Apple products have always been around me.
I remember my cousin acquiring an Apple 2 which we took a day to unpack and install. During my military service, I had some free time and was teaching Pascal on MacIntoshes. Corporate life had me move to a Wintel platform but everyone in my family has a Mac, my wife, my children, my sister, my nieces (same for a number of us here like Eileen and Tim). I was an early second-generation Ipod addict. I do my day trips with my Ipad. I remember explaining to my kids that the guy behind the company which had made Nemo and Toy Story was the same guy who had done their Ipods and my son and I always share a smile when we think of the Fruit company where Lieutenant Dan invested Forrest Gump savings. When my 15 year-old niece discussed with me on career choices, the most appropriate thing I could think of was to show her the video of Job's commencement speech at Stanford ...
I have voraciously read every article I could about Jobs. I was amazed both by the story of this guy who had challenged the establishment in the early days, was kicked out of his company, set up to rebuild a grooundbreaking company which was Pixar when he arrived, then did this historic comeback to Apple making it what it is today.
The teachings that we can all derive are enourmous. Any executive in the high tech world consciously or unconsciously compares themselves to Jobs regerldess of whether they are in the consumer - enterprise space, in Europe, Asia or the US, in Hardware or Software. Deciding what not to do and being really good at what you really want to do is a Steve Jobs lesson. Working on products with a long term perspective is another one. How many times in GSX management meetings have been all of us making a Steve Jobs reference ?
I am sure that I am not alone in my company if I say that if we work in IT, it is because of the inspiration that he provided.

The AL Supreme Ct. recently ruled that while cops have immunity from suit for acts committed in the line of duty, it is not absolute. When responding to emergencies, anyone driving an emergency vehicle must use their siren and lights, as well as proceed with due regard for the safety of others.

Employee's and Teacher's Retirement System of Alabama
Members of the Employees' and Teachers' Retirement Systems of Alabama sued David Bronner, executive officer of those systems, claiming he had failed to invest system funds so that they would bring the highest returns. Apparently the plaintiffs weren't fond of golf courses and office buildings in Alabama. The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that the Circuit Court should dismiss the complaint because Bronner not only has great discretion to choose investments, but also because it's not the Court's role to constantly monitor Bronner's decisions. See, Supreme Court of Alabama, Oct. Term, 2014-2015, 1110472, Ex parte David Bronner (In re: Tonya Denson and Venius Turner v. David Bronner et al., Montgomery Circuit Court, CV-11-900738)
Immunity from Suit
The Alabama Supreme Court has made local school boards immune from law suits in tort or contract. However, the U.S. Supreme Court and the 11th Cir. have made it clear that local school boards in Alabama are not immune from violations of federal statutes. See Walker, et al. v. Jefferson Co. Sch. Board of Ed., et al. (11th Cir. No. 13-14624, 11/04/13).

At the Lauderdale By The Sea Jan. 23,2018 Commission Meeting the big news not reported was the finding that a setback ordinance change was found moot due to improper publication required for it to take effect! The homeowners, opposing neighbors, commission and town staff, Town Boards ,Town Atty etc who were involved in this longterm situation incurring great costs of time and money were impacted in error! There could be other such ordinance oversights that are moot as well and need to be transparent in how they are dealt with to correct rather than a consent agenda style vote disregarding those similarly impacted .
As a longtime supporter of former Vice Mayor Mark Brown it is hard to understand why he quit his seat to run for Mayor when he comes to public comments to speak as though he is still serving on the dais. As a resident who believes commissioners should honor their commitment it seems that fulfilling his and the very outreach projects he speaks out about now as a private citizen in no official capacity would have weighed heavily in his decision and should weigh heavily as well to the voters especially in light of the fact LBTS is not a strong mayor town and quiting a seat for another in the middle of your term has never happened in the history of our town.

...Already in the current volume,
and Banerjee have executed major changes, such as reducing pay for editors and staff writers, cutting the size of the paper from its previous 10-12 pages down to about 6, laying off a long-time layout assistant, eliminating travel expenses for sports reporting of away games, and moving Friday's Arts and Entertainment section titled Intermission inside the paper as opposed to keeping it a separate entity...
...In addition to cutting costs,
believes The Daily has other essential agents by which it can increase revenue. "Thinking about our other kinds of assets, we have students who know how to write and edit," said
, who indicated that The Daily might soon adopt a fundraising plan similar to one started by The Harvard Crimson, which recently found it profitable to publish books that outline tips for writing better college admissions essays. The book would be written and edited by the student editorial staff...

Jason Shen,
who competes on Stanford's gymnastics team, is not only president of the Unofficial Stanford Blog for student bloggers, he also helped start a nonprofit - Gumball Capital - that challenges students to think creatively about raising money for microloans for the working poor in developing countries.
Many students want to be leaders, not followers, and "it's hard to do that with an existing group," said
, a biology major. "There can only be so many leaders. It's a lot easier to start your own group. You don't have to deal with the bureaucracy of 'This is how we always did it.' This is how I'm going to do it. It's representative of our generation in general." ...
...With so many student groups, overlap must happen.
suspects that's the case at Stanford. "You can't even look at all of them, much less know what they do," he said. "People might start similar groups but miss each other because they're not aware that both are doing similar things." ...

NRA-certified instructors will teach the course.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has scheduled another of its popular Women's Handgun Safety Days.
The one-day class on April 18 will provide women with an introduction to firearms through classroom instruction and shooting range practice.
The session is a joint effort by the state commission and Friends of the Osceola, a group of sportsmen and women associated with the Osceola Rifle and Pistol Range in Lake City, which is where the safety day will be held.
The course will be taught by National Rifle Association-certified instructors.
"This is an exciting event for women and is designed for beginners," said Steve Robbins, hunter safety coordinator for the wildlife commission. "There will be discussions on safety, range etiquette, proper storage and the basic how-to and why of handling firearms."
Tuition for the class is $5. Students must also buy their own box of .38 Special or 9mm ammunition. Women are encouraged to bring their own guns, but firearms will be provided, too.
"Participants will have the opportunity to shoot a variety of handguns," Robbins said. "If you have a gun in your home, or if you know someone who does, you should be at this event."
Robbins said participants will receive the firearms-safety course certificate required for a concealed weapons permit in Florida.
For more information or to register, call the Hunter Safety Office in Lake City at (386) 758-0525.

Things my mum told me
Well, inspite of my head strong attitude, my mum used to ring somethings into my ears and trust me, I still remember. Some I've not really bothered if they are true or not but I believed anyway.
1. Women don't eat gizzard in igbo land: those days I used to wish I were a guy! In my mind I'd be like Sheybi na egun land we dey? Truly the first time I ate gizzard I was 18 and I bought it with my money. Well, now mum gives me sha.
2. Don't cover the pot while cooking draw soup else the soup won't draw. Well I've not done otherwise too.
3. Don't dish egusi soup except it is on the fire, else it will go sour.
4. If you wash bitter leaf and pour the water away, if you cross it, your veejay will be sore. The fear of crossing bitter leaf water was the beginning of wisdom for Seyon.
I believed her because she always say to me "I'm your mother, can I deceive you?"
Oya what were the things your mum or dad told you as a kid?

Bobwhite quail populations have plummeted in recent years due to loss of appropriate habitat, which includes fallow lands, field and forest edges, and brushy, weedy areas. Forest landowners who want to create good habitat for bobwhite quail, which prefer sunny and open areas, have a new source of funds to support their goals.
Funding is available to forest landowners in 15 Virginia counties to implement beneficial forestry practices that promote healthy and productive forests and also create good habitat for quail. The five eligible practices include vegetation management; commercial thinning in small acreage stands; planting of shortleaf or longleaf pine; non-commercial thinning; and prescribed burning in forest stands. Landowners can receive up to $10,000 in cost-share funding.
This program is designed for private, non-industrial forest landowners in the counties of Augusta, Bland, Culpeper, Essex, Greene, Greensville, Halifax, King and Queen, King William, Madison, Orange, Rappahannock, Southampton, Sussex and Wythe.
Funding is provided by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) and the program is administered by the Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF).
Program registration is underway now. To sign up, or to learn more about this program, contact senior area forester Erik Filep at 434-962-3017 or visit the agency's website.

D&T - Resistant Materials Technology
|Exam Board
GCSE Resistant Materials Technology (RMT) covers a wide range of activities based on designing and making products that are manufactured using materials such as wood, metal and plastics and composites.
As well as learning hand skills, students use a range of industrial processes to shape and form materials into functioning products.
Over the course of two years students develop a whole range of creative designing and making skills, technical knowledge and understanding relating to RMT and invaluable transferable skills such as design strategies, problem solving and time management.
This area of study focuses on designing and making, using different materials and techniques. As part of the making process students learn traditional methods of communicating design through hand drawings and 3D prototype models. Students then progress to specialised 2D & 3D ICT design packages to cover CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacture) and CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacture).
The course prepares students to manufacture design ideas to clients through using a range of materials, such as: pine and mahogany (wood), aluminium and mild steel (metal) and acrylic and HIP (plastics). Prototype models can be produced by hand as well as by CAD/CAM. Students will be encouraged to make full use of digital cameras, scanners and vinyl cutters in order to produce their products.
- Knowledge, skills and understanding developed through short focused tasks along with mini design and make activities prior to Easter in Year 10
- Unit 1 - Designing activities: analysis of design brief, research, specification, initial ideas, starts Easter of Year 10 and to be completed by the summer
- Unit 1 - Designing activities: review, development, final design to be completed by end of autumn term Year 11
- Unit 1 - Make activities: plan, make, test and evaluate to be completed by March of Year 11
- Unit 2 - Written exam taken in summer term of Year 11
- Unit 1 Coursework - Creative design and make activity (60%) (Easter Year 10 to March Year 11)
Exam Paper
- Unit 2 End of unit exam - Demonstrate knowledge of resistant materials through multiple choice, short answers, extended writing and design based questions (40%) (June Year 11)
Post-16 Choices
Many of the students who enjoyed studying GCSE RMT have gone on to study A Level Product Design:
Resistant Materials Technology or Graphic Products. Students can also study any Design and Technology related course post-16. RMT students usually study one or more of the creative subjects including: A Level Art and Design, Media and/or Film; BTEC National Diplomas in Art and Design or Media; the Diploma in Creative and Media or the 14-19 Diploma in Construction and the Built

It's that time of the year where we at NJ2AS are inundated with questions from our membership and supporters on who we should vote for in this year's NRA Board of Directors election. Below are our recommendations of proven leaders:
1. Timothy Knight
2. Adam Kraut
3. Julie A. Golob
4. Duane Liptak
5. Kristy Titus
6. Maria Heil
7. John Sigler
All of these individuals bring serious value to New Jersey, the Nation, and NRA leadership (which we believe needs a serious overhaul). While certain individuals are out there giving the illusion they're fighting on behalf of New Jersey gun owners, we know first hand who is the real-deal and the hucksters.
Do not waste your vote on undeserving candidates and bullet vote specifically for these individuals. To clarify, bullet voting is the process where you only choose these candidates on your ballot despite having more opportunities to vote for more individuals.


text: We all know that in some areas we feel better, more relaxed, and more peaceful; while in others, no matter how much we'd like to we cannot get any rest, and we wake up feeling more fatigued than before. Today, we all know that geopathogenic energy influences can affect the human body and cause serious degenerative diseases. The negative impact of Hartmann energy bands meeting points, of water streams, or of subterranean high-voltage power lines can affect us; and it significantly adds to cancer risk factors. Judging by the influences earth signals had on people from ancient times, it seems these were known to the ancients. There are written sources that testify to the importance dowsing practices were thought to have back then. (In some sources there are notes about well sinkers or geomants).Thus in ancient China, nearly 4,000 years ago the emperor Yu (founder of the Hia dynasty; 2205-2197 BC) is depicted in one image while holding a shaft that's similar to the rod. Ancient texts depict emperor Yu as being well versed in finding ore-beds and subterranean water sources. In the same period and also in China, when people wanted to build a house they would consult with a geomant, who would determine the best location for their future residence. The geomant would use a hazelnut rod, and the place where this rod stopped spinning or moving in any way was deemed to be the best place for making a home. They say that Moses found the stream in the rock also by using a rod. In time, dowsing tools began to be improved. This is how the pendulum, the L-rod, the U-rod, and many other instruments appeared. Their use helped discover subterranean water streams, ore-beds, substances, or metals. When you want to use dowsing for building a home, the first step is to determine the trajectory of subterranean water flows that might inflict a negative chi on the residents. Then you determine the best location possibilities, the length and width of the house, and environment features such as trees, ornaments, flower beds, the location of the water well, and its depth depending on groundwater level. Now you set the best date to start building the house – i.e. dig the foundation – which also determines the birth year of the house. The best date for laying the roof prism, as well as for moving in is also considered.

The New U.S. Tax Code and You
Wondering how the new U.S. tax code will impact your freelance business? We did, too. At the request of ATA and its President-Elect Ted Wozniak, the accounting firm Raffa has reviewed the tax changes and prepared the summary U.S. Tax Code Review for ATA Members (2018).
This summary is specifically for freelance translators and interpreters. While it's only three pages long, the details may be intimidating. You'll want to plan to spend some time reading through the document at least once and quite possibly two or three more times. It's worth the work to understand what the new code will mean to your finances.
This summary is intended solely as general information and may not be considered tax or legal advice; nor can it be used or relied upon for the purpose of avoiding penalties under any taxing statute. Consult your accountant for professional advice specific to your business.

Singapore to Fund Grants for Translators and Interpreters
Channel NewsAsia (Singapore) (01/26/18) Lee, Rachelle
Translators and interpreters in Singapore will soon receive additional support to enhance their skills via a new Translation Talent Development program. In addition to encouraging local translators and interpreters to develop their qualifications and attain mastery in their field, the program also aims to "groom the next generation of translation talent."
Co-sponsored by the National Translation Committee, the program will use grants to offset up to 90% of enrollment expenses incurred by successful applicants for courses, workshops, and seminars related to translation, interpreting, or languages. The initiative applies to training programs both inside and outside Singapore.
Only Singaporean translators and interpreters with at least three years of relevant working experience can apply. "What's important is to reach out to existing translation and interpreting professionals who are already working in the industry," says Chee Hong Tat, senior minister of state for the Ministry of Communications and Information.
Arumugum Palaniappan, head specialist for English and Tamil at the Parliament of Singapore and a member of the country's National Translation Committee, says there is a shortage of qualified translators and interpreters in Singapore, a problem he believes the program can help address. "There is a need not only for translating government documents or policies and programs, but we also need to nurture those who can translate poems and literary works."
Palaniappan says the translation and interpreting industry is experiencing many changes in terms of technology, accompanied by new words and concepts. This makes it vital for professionals to continue to work on their skills to keep up with industry practice.

National Book Awards Add Translation Prize
New York Times (NY) (01/31/18) Alter, Alexandra
The National Book Foundation announced that it will present its first National Book Award for Translated Literature, beginning this year at the 69th National Book Awards in November. The prize will be given jointly to authors and translators and will be limited to fiction and nonfiction works by living authors who are published in the U.S. International authors who write in English will not be eligible.
The decision to recognize international authors was made unanimously by the foundation's board of directors. The board wants to draw attention to works in translation, which are often neglected by American readers and publishers.
"This is an opportunity for us to influence how visible books in translation are," says National Book Foundation Executive Director Lisa Lucas. "The less we know about the rest of the world, the worse off we are."
While there are a growing number of publishing houses specializing in publishing works in translation and international literature—including Europa Editions, Archipelago Books, and AmazonCrossing—translated literature still accounts for a tiny percentage of books published in the U.S. Although international authors like Elena Ferrante, Haruki Murakami, Karl Ove Knausgaard, and Han Kang have been embraced by American readers, there's still a lingering perception that translated literature doesn't sell well in the U.S. This is the first time the National Book Awards has broadened its scope.
"It goes to the mission of the organization, which is to increase the impact of great books on the culture," says David Steinberger, chair of the board of directors of the National Book Foundation. "There have been so many deserving books that we were never able to recognize."
Submissions for the National Book Award for Translated Literature will open in March, and the winners will be announced at the National Book Awards Ceremony in November.

Linguists Discover Previously Unidentified Language in Malaysia
National Public Radio (DC) (02/07/18) Domonoske, Camila
Linguists working in the Malay Peninsula have identified a language, now called Jedek, that had not been recognized previously outside of the small group of people who speak it. The newly documented language is spoken by some 280 people, part of a community that once foraged along the Pergau River who now live in a resettlement area in northern Malaysia.
Jedek was recognized as a unique language by Swedish linguists from Lund University, who discovered it while studying the Jahai language in the same region. "Jedek is not a language spoken by an unknown tribe in the jungle, as you would perhaps imagine, but in a village previously studied by anthropologists," says Niclas Burenhult, associate professor of general linguistics at Lund University and the first researcher to record the language. "As linguists, we had a different set of questions and found something that the anthropologists missed."
"One possible reason the language went undetected for so long is that the formerly nomadic people who spoke it didn't have a single consistent name for it," says Joanne Yager, a doctoral student who spent four years doing intensive fieldwork and studying the language. Yager says that Jedek is surprising because it has words that have little in common with the languages immediately around it, but which were familiar to linguists from languages "spoken farther away in other parts of Malaysia and southern Thailand."
While Jedek is spoken by a very small community, it doesn't appear to be acutely threatened by extinction like many other minority languages. "It's always been quite a small language because the groups of speakers have been small and quite mobile," Yager says. "Children still learn it, which is really great for the future prognosis of the language."

Hawaii Judiciary to Allow Court Interpreters to Speak Hawaiian
Maui News (HI) (01/27/18)
The state Judiciary of Hawaii has announced that it will provide qualified Hawaiian language interpreters "to the extent reasonably possible" when parties in court proceedings choose to speak in Hawaiian.
This policy was announced two days after a bench warrant was issued for Samuel Kaleikoa Kaeo, who had been arrested for protesting and spoke only Hawaiian during a Wailuku District Court proceeding. After Kaeo responded only in Hawaiian when asked to identify himself in court, Judge Blaine Kobayashi said he could not ascertain that the defendant in court was Kaeo and issued a $750 bench warrant for his arrest. The warrant was revoked a day later and another hearing was scheduled concerning the use of a Hawaiian language interpreter in Kaeo's case.
The Judiciary issued a statement that it "will provide or permit qualified Hawaiian language interpreters when possible when parties in courtroom proceedings choose to express themselves through the Hawaiian language." The Judiciary says it will develop deployment procedures for the policy and welcomes community feedback.

NATO Signs Translation Cooperation Agreement with ISIT
NATO (Belgium) (01/31/18)
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) wants to develop closer ties with France's academic institutions in the field of translation. The goal of this relationship is to familiarize students with the expectations and requirements of international organizations and businesses before they enter the job market.
As a first step toward this goal, NATO's Translation Service has signed a cooperation agreement with the Institute of Intercultural Management and Communication (ISIT). The agreement covers terminology discussions, presentations, and workshops by NATO translators at ISIT, as well as greater cooperation on recruitment. Students will also have the opportunity to apply to get a real-life introduction to professional translation work through an internship.
"It was important for us to develop a closer relationship with an institution such as ISIT because we noticed that Francophone translators did not necessarily know that NATO is a bilingual organization with an in-house translation team at its headquarters," says Raphaël Prono, a representative of the Translation Service at NATO Headquarters. "We see this as an opportunity to better inform students about our work and help them prepare themselves for our recruitment competition."
ISIT Executive Director Nathalie Gormezano notes that ISIT's mission is to train professionals skilled at communicating meaning and bridging divides. She says that the initiative will enable students to learn from experts and gain a better understanding of the complexities they will face when they take their first steps in the professional world. "This agreement formalizes the long-standing relationship between ISIT and NATO," she says. "Training, employability, and research opportunities: our two institutions have a bright future together!"

As another Tottenham Hotspur game passed last weekend, along with it came another diving flashpoint for Gareth Bale. Indeed, unless you've been hiding under a rock somewhere of late, the Welshman's penchant for taking a tumble has suddenly transformed from lingering suspicion to poster boy status.
His booking during Spurs' 3-0 victory against Fulham on Saturday marked his second consecutive caution for diving in as many games, following the yellow card he received during his side's encounter with Liverpool last Wednesday.
Naturally, while the neutrals have been quick to deride the Welshman for his perceived affection for a spot of footballing thespianism, Spurs supporters have been dismayed by recent events. And not wholly out of blind faith, either.
Because as the replays were wheeled out of Bale's cautioned dives under challenges from Daniel Agger and Steve Sidwell respectively, amongst all the relentless scrutinizing, he appears to have in fact been caught in the tackle.
Although judging by the fallout over the past couple of days, unless you went looking for the evidence, you wouldn't necessarily believe it.
The fallout from his dual sanctions over the past week has seen a toxic deluge of column inches, headlines and public opinion batted his way; despite there being an extremely viable case that Bale was in fact an innocent party in both incidents. And it's within this public opinion, that the ex-Southampton man can perhaps apportion part of the blame for last week's events. But the root of it, can be traced back to no one else but himself.
There is a school of thought that Premier League referees are being influenced by the stigma for diving that Bale has slowly accumulated over the past 18 months and for some, that's a very uneasy scenario to buy into. If a match official cannot judge each incident on its own merits, surely that renders them unfit to referee?
We've been here before already this season, with the controversy that has swamped Bale's perceived peer within the diving stakes. Liverpool's mercurial Luis Suarez has of course also developed a damning moniker for diving, but there was nothing to argue about when Norwich City's Leon Barnett as good as assaulted him in the box during their 5-2 win at Carrow Road. It seemed as clear a penalty you'll see all season in the Premier League, but referee Mike Jones waved it away.
[post_link url="https://www.footballfancast.com/premiership/tottenham/gareth-bale-rejects-claims,https://www.footballfancast.com/premiership/tottenham/top-ten-players-on-avbs-transfer-wishlist-this-january,https://www.footballfancast.com/premiership/tottenham/why-a-fuss-free-return-is-needed-for-emmanuel-adebayor" target="_blank" type="tower"]
The decision produced fury in the red half of Merseyside and in his column for the Daily Mail, former referee Graham Poll suggested that top flight officials are liable to letting a player's reputation affect their decision. Pointing to his treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo during his early days with Manchester United, Poll claimed that such an attitude was merely 'human nature' for a referee.
It's a viewpoint that courted condemnation in many quarters and ultimately, if referees are unable to remain uninfluenced from public opinion, then the league is in a serious spot of bother. But there is an easy way to prevent this from even remotely coming an issue – don't gain the reputation in the first place.
Right or wrong, Gareth Bale shouldn't have got himself into this position. Some have called it footballing karma, others simply that referees are waking up to him, but the fact is that Bale's reputation for diving hasn't come overnight and it isn't particularly unfounded either.
During last season's North London derby, Bale won his side a penalty that was converted by Emmanuel Adebayor, after throwing himself to the ground in the face of the onrushing Wojciech Szczesny. Luck served him well on that occasion, as it did earlier on this season, in which he got away with a really quite pathetic tumble against Aston Villa, in which he seemed to collapse a good 5ft away from 'keeper Brad Guzan.
He shouldn't be doing it and even if we take him at face value with his argument that he's allegedly avoiding injury from onrushing opponents, the manner in which he's gone about his business is only making things worse from him.
Contact or not, the Steve Sidwell challenge that saw Bale booked for diving at the weekend, in no way necessitated a collapse to rank alongside Willem Dafoe's in Platoon. No one's suggesting that he needs to start riding every challenge thrown at him. Already this season he's had some dangerous attempts to bring him down thrown his way and let's not forget he's suffered some serious ankle injuries already in his career from this type of tackle.
But by dabbling in a dive here and there and continuing to produce the theatrics, Bale's costing Tottenham as a collective, as opposed to simply harming his own public demeanor. Again, this isn't to suggest that referees should be influenced by reputation in the slightest, but for him to get unfairly booked for diving twice in one week, that argument now holds a touch of real gravitas.
If Bale goes steaming into the penalty area against Everton this weekend, only to be legitimately fouled but given a caution for diving, the onus will quite rightly be on the referee for making a terrible decision. But somewhere along the line, however small the proportion of blame may be, it is Bale himself whom must also carry some of the flack.
Gareth Bale has been unlucky this season, but as much as we shouldn't be talking about referees judging him on reputation, he should never have put himself in a position for this to be an issue in the first place. Despite the wider issues of officiating that the debate may open up, what we are witnessing with Bale at the moment, is the biggest deterrent to diving you can wish to wave a stick at.
For Bale, repairing his reputation will be easier said than done. For those looking to follow in his footsteps, his fate should serve as a cautionary tale.

- In a green valley nestled between snow-capped peaks in the Kurdish autonomous region of northern Iraq is an armed camp of revolutionaries preparing to overthrow the Islamic Republic of Iran. Men with automatic weapons stand watch on the roofs of the houses. Party flags snap in the wind. Radio and satellite TV stations beam illegal news, commentary, and music into homes and government offices across the border.
Thursday, September 20, 2007
I've got to admit, I've pretty much figured that a war with Iran was on the horizon. Hell, they're already in Iraq warring against us. They also continue to poke us with a stick. I wasn't clear as to why they seem to want us in a war with them, but they've been doing everything possible to initiate it. We all see it. Michael J. Totten has a great article posted up at Reasononline that really enlightened me on Iran, and in it he explains a lot of things that help clear up why Iran would be acting the way they are. It's called The Next Iranian Revolution.

It is extremely difficult to live up to the hype of a Shakespeare play – that is one thing to be said for the cast and crew of this week's Nordic Noir version of Hamlet. I had my reservations about the play: there is beauty in bringing it back to basics and keeping traditional plays traditional, as with Mermaids production of The Importance of Being Earnest earlier in the academic year which was a huge success. People are always trying to be original with Shakespeare, but sometimes this originality contributes nothing and leads to inaccuracies and misinterpretations. However, this attempt at an original depiction of Hamlet was amongst the more successful of traditional plays with modern twists.
Visually, the production excelled. The setting was minimalist and bold with striking colour contrast and lighting depending on the type of character being portrayed. It was not only the setting that was visually impressive, but the sound effects and music were also very striking, appropriate and haunting.
However, they were at points too loud; it was particularly difficult to hear Jack Briggs (Hamlet) and David Trimble (Polonius) over the effects. The setting only faltered in that the set changes were long, contributing to an already long play, which I am aware was a problem for some people. One thing is for sure and it is that this play is for the more patient among us.
Some of the scenes missing from the play suggested the director (Mathilde Johnsen) was depending on the audience already knowing the play well in order to understand the story. The initial scene with the guards witnessing the ghost of Hamlet's father was missing in order to allow for Hamlet to embody both himself and his father, but such a crucial moment really sets the scene for the play. The famous moment in the graveyard where Hamlet holds Yorick's skull was also missing, and musings such as these help the audience to sympathise with the protagonist, which is a fundamental element to the play. Due to these absent scenes, there was no connection between Hamlet and the audience, which in turn gave an inaccurate representation of his character. An important dimension of Hamlet is the protagonist's struggle with morality, something that should have been incorporated into the play in order for the audience to relate to Hamlet. The absence of Hamlet's sr. also meant that Hamlet's madness was over-exaggerated, and was at points portrayed ungracefully. Other tweaks had a detrimental effect on the play, such as Hamlet's descent into madness almost being reversed so he starts off mad and by the end, after Ophelia's suicide, is more rational. This was the main problem with the play.
Nevertheless, credit must be given to Briggs for the massive role he took on – he generally performed well and did convey Hamlet's madness acutely. But the stand-out performances of the night must go to Claudius (Ebe Bamgboye), Gertrude (Cara Mahoney) and Ophelia (Kate Kitchens).
Bamgboye brought the Shakesperean magic to the stage one expects from such a production. He was completely natural on stage and professional at all times. His on stage relationship with Mahoney was believable as they gracefully glided across the stage with an air of elegance and sophistication. Mahoney is a true beauty whose accent and demeanour was perfect for her role.
Moreover, it is the consensus that Kitchens excelled herself with her performance of Ophelia. Her portrayal of Ophelia's descent into madness and eventual suicide was by the far the most atmospheric and moving moments of the play. The music (a haunting voice was accompanied by a solo piano) also contributed extremely well to these sections in setting the atmosphere.
Hamlet was overall a very intelligent and well thought out interpretation of the play, even if I do have personal reservations about modern interpretations. However, it is the strong performances from those mentioned above and the striking visualisation that transports this play from a good production to a great one.

Massimiliano Allegri a Premium Sport: "Tuttti vogliono battere la Juventus . Oggi avevamo bisogno di lui". Sapevamo che l'Olympiacos è una squadra molto fisica, facevamo un possesso palla buono, ma non bastava. Questa Champions è diversa dalle altre? Allegri ha pochi pensieri su che formazione schierare. Deve migliorare molto nella ricezione per giocare più in verticale e diagonale.
The voting was part of a two-day meeting of the board in NY that concluded on Thursday. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski , the new rules will go into effect for the 2019 NBA Draft. The resting regulations deliver Silver the ability to fine teams for sitting healthy players in instances that include nationally televised games.

I punti di differenza da Hamilton sono 28, mentre per completare la stagione mancano solamente 6 gare e alcuni circuiti sono favorevoli alla Mercedes . In subordine aveva addirittura proposto qualcosa di più dispendioso: dotare il circuito di illuminazione artificiale, per arrivare a una night race come quella di Singapore; ovviamente, non se n'è fatto nulla.
The manager was asked if he's anxious that the defender hasn't been getting many minutes, and said: "It's a frustration thing in this job". "It is clear that over time, I want all our players to play as much as possible, at as high a level as possible".
Where can I watch Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea? It is always a good feeling to score the first goal in a new stadium. "I need to speak to my players to understand very well their physical condition", he added. "It was not easy today but we did it". You have to go back to April for Atleti's last home defeat, a 1-0 reverse to Villarreal, and they've since beaten Real Madrid , Napoli and Sevilla on home turf.
A statement posted on the Packers official website says that the team would like for everyone in the stadium to link arms during the national anthem to project an image of unity. Rodgers has been stellar once again this season , and is looking to avenge the team's loss in the NFC Championship Game last season . Chicago's defense looks to be legitimate.
That global bonanza added to the £5.1bn from the competition between Sky and BT for British football subscribers, plus other highlights deals, makes a total of £8.4bn in the current three-year cycle. The proposal discussed would see 35 per cent of overseas broadcast revenue distributed according to merit - where a team finishes in the table. Now, though, the Premier League's popularity has made it prime content for burgeoning pay-TV operations around the world, delivering approximately £3bn ...

Rashid is the first mainstream politician to be summoned by the NIA in the case. Rashid, however, has denied any involvement, and urged the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly speaker to initiate an inquiry. Rashid is an independent MLA from Langate in North Kashmir's Kupwara district.

Chelsea have only won one of their three Premier League home games this season. City announced that Kompany had returned to training around 10 days ago, but he has missed several sessions since then and has not been named in the squad for the Blues' last two games.
The 24-year-old Englishman has done so much for the north London club, serving as the proverbial "face of the franchise". Asked about the loving comment, Pochettino said: "Now my wife is so jealous". "Cristiano is fantastic, one of the best, " Pochettino said. "Harry is one of the best and will get better because he's so young", he said. I can not joke about that because both are fantastic.
Or rather, Cher herself may not necessarily be heading to Broadway , but The Cher Show , a musical about her life, is definitely on its way. The musical will first take the stage in Chicago , from June 12 to July 15, 2018, before heading to Broadway in NY.
La squadra di Max Allegri infatti dopo la brutta battuta d'arresto del Camp Nou si prepara ad affrontare nella seconda giornata i greci dell'Olympiacos allo Juventus Stadium. Josè Mourinho stravede per Dybala e lo vorrebbe in squadra per aumentare il tasso qualitativo e tecnico della sua squadra già molto competitivo sia per la Premier League che per la Champions.
A rassicurare i rossoneri ci pensa pero' il solito Andre Silva , al suo sesto gol europeo dell'anno, bravo a puntare Zuparic sulla sinistra, per poi rientrare sul destro e battere Sluga. Il giovane centravanti, dopo un breve periodo di appannamento, seguito allo straordinario avvio di stagione, si riprende la scenda firmando la sua 5ª rete stagionale in 11 presenze complessive, nonché la 1ª in assoluto nella fase a gironi del torneo, dopo le 2 realizzate nei preliminari.
He had been suffering headaches after heading the ball and revealed the decision was to prevent the symptoms from becoming more serious. The Wexford native received two concussions this season, and retired on medical advice. He went on to play for Reading , Wolves, QPR, Crystal Palace and joined Colorado Rapids in Major League Soccer two years ago - where he had become a fan favourite.
Gli esami condotti stamattina hanno evidenziato per l'argentino la presenza di un edema post-distrattivo muscolo bicipite femorale della coscia destra. Per l'attaccante francese ex Cesena e Sassuolo invece è stata riscontrata la presenza di una lesione muscolo/fasciale di primo grado sempre del muscolo bicipite femorale ma della coscia sinistra.

The president used a profanity to call for athletes who kneel during the national anthem - a recurring sight in the NFL which started after quarterback Colin Kaepernick sought to protest police violence - to lose their jobs. He added that his father spent decades in the military and that his brother is now serving.

Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, Arsenal duo Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny and Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante are also included, with Paris St Germain's Kylian Mbappe, Juventus midfielder Blaise Matuidi and Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann among the other big-name players selected.
However, while Arsenal's Alex Iwobi is making a return after an injury knocked him out of the games against the African champions, Portugal-based goalkeeper Dele Alampasu and Tyronne Ebuehi were dropped and asked to standby . "That's the reason we have reserves so that whenever something happens to somebody in the list we don't have to run helter-skelter to look for replacements".
While veterinarians advocate many vaccines for their four-legged patients, only one is required by law in the United States - rabies. Rabies symptoms include fever with constant pain and pricking, or a sensation of burning at the wound, or headache and nausea.
Jason Burle , who owns the S.N.A.F.U Bar near the Bagnell Dam, said that he had ordered the jerseys to use them as doormats because of the swirling controversy and national conversation about players kneeling in protest during the national anthem.

Van Dijk was the subject of interest from Liverpool in the recent transfer window, although they gave up their attempts to sign him after being accused of making an illegal approach. "It will be hard to see the best version of first game as he needs time. We need to be patient", Pellegrino told reporters ahead of Saturday's trip to Stoke City.

text: About to speak with my class "Conceptualisms, Conspiracies, and Counter-histories" about the Beat writers and thought I should "round up" some of the better links to films and film clips that are now abundant on the web. I tend to do some short presentations on ancient subcultures. Despite the eminently cool poster above, more interested in looking at the films capturing the writers, documentaries, etc. rather than those that clearly attempted to cash in on the craze! ubuweb of course is nearly a one stop shop for certain things, particularly video and sound material on William S. Burroughs, otherwise A Man Within is the most recent full length documentary on WSB. A film called Kerouac: King of the Beats has some important material and interviews. The Source is inclusive but also incorporates some rather cringe inducing "re-enactments" and readings if I recall correctly. Kerouac on the Steve Allen Show is essential, as is Pull My Daisy which I posted earlier. There is a lot of material on Ginsberg as well. And a nice film called Crazy Wisdom retrospectively chronicles the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University, Colorado. Original Beats is a short film on Gregory Corso and Herbert Huncke. The wonderful poet and memoirist Diane di Prima delivers a lecture in San Francisco. The gregarious but not always coherent Neal Cassady sits in with Ginsberg at City Lights in this short clip. A drunken Kerouac asked to speak about Hippies on William F. Buckley's Firing LIne is absolutely excruciating to watch. Photographer Robert Frank, who filmed the Beats on several occasions, is a notoriously "reclusive" figure but there are at least two good documentaries on his work online. Fire in the East dates from 1986, and another profile Leaving Home, Coming Home from almost twenty years later. Also see my last post on Amiri Baraka, formerly known as LeRoi Jones.

Teenie Matlock, a cognitive science professor at the University of California at Merced, will serve a six-year term on the National Institute of Health's language and communication study section. She'll join a panel of experts from a list of universities that includes Stanford, Purdue and Columbia.
The panel will be part of the institute's effort to review grant and fellowship applications.
The study section is part of the institute's Center for Scientific Review, which establishes peer review groups for grant and fellowship applications.
Former area resident Clinton Agresti has received a $25,000 Watson Fellowship and will visit countries on four continents to study their cultures through their music. He will visit Mongolia, Ukraine, Ghana and Bolivia during a yearlong voyage beginning this summer.
Agresti's family is from Turlock, and he lived in the valley until his parents, Ron and Ruth Agresti, moved the family to Washington in the late 1990s. He graduated from the University of Puget Sound in 2009 with a degree in international political economy.
His mission will have two basic elements, the first of which is anthropological.
"I'll be diving into their cultures and trying to understand them through their music," said Agresti, 23. "I'll be trying to trace the external aspects -- religion, history and geography -- through their music."
The second element will be to immerse himself in their music as a participant.
After recording this on video and audio, he plans to do a documentary or otherwise market their music, sending any profits to the musicians with whom he works in each of those countries.
Much of Agresti's family still lives in the Turlock area, including grandfather Don Agresti, grandmother Berniece Winter and his mother's parents, Ana and Louis Bucher.
UC Merced's long-range development plan was named the outstanding planning document of 2009 by the Association of Environmental Professionals. The statewide organization focuses on environmental science, regulation and policy. UC Merced representatives received the award March 16 in Palm Springs.
Two California State University, Stanislaus, professors have been appointed to endowed professorships in education and nursing. Elmano Costa will be the Christie Sue Whalen-Saxton Professor of Teacher Education. This endowment was established to support and enhance teacher-training programs.
Peggy Hodge, chair of the Department of Nursing, will become the Marian Palmer Professor of Nursing.
The endowed professors will receive an additional annual stipend of $7,500 and will assume their new positions July 1.
Eighth-graders at Ustach Middle School in the Sylvan Union School District benefitted from an $800 grant from Target stores that pays for visits that expose students to colleges and universities. Along with money raised by the school's PTA, nearly 300 students were able to visit UC Merced, the University of the Pacific in Stockton or California State University, Stanislaus, in Turlock.

Back in the day before I really dove into the national park world, I had a vague understand what the parks were, knew there were a bunch in the middle of the country, and that Teddy Roosevelt was involved somehow. But when I thought about national parks, I thought of the 2 parks that both had weird Y names: Yosemite and Yellowstone.
I'm not sure if that's how everyone feels, but to me – those 2 were the iconic parks, without knowing anything about them.
Specifically Yosemite – what the eff was this park and why was its name so strange and hard to pronounce? But then of course I became obsessed with the National Park Service and the park system and all of its beautiful locations, and I planned and continue to plan to go to a park in any trip/opportunity I can. And I learned how absolutely INSANELY pretty Yosemite is.
So obviously, when a few friends and I planned a weekend trip to San Francisco in May, I had to figure out how to get to a national park during the trip. And with Yosemite about 3.5 hours away, the plans were SET. I rented a car, booked a campsite IN Yosemite Valley, and researched some hikes. So ya. Finally went to one of the big Y parks I always knew about.
Behold the beauty of Yosemite National Park.
My pictures obviously do not do justice to the park whatsoever. But I tried my darnedest, so I hope you enjoy. All of my time was spent in Yosemite Valley, because I was only in the park for about 2 days. But Yosemite, you're a great place. I can't wait to come back and explore more.
But first I gotta get to the other Y park! Yellowstone, I'm coming for ya someday soon.
