Musicians bring Mardi Gras to Harmony
By Anton Adamek
Thursday, March 07, 2013 8:11 AM
Washboard player Desiree Champagne of Bijou Creole and Cedric Watson perform a variety of French-Louisiana inspired songs. Many of the lyrics were in French and ranged from songs of regret to tunes of partying, Mardi Gras style.
It may be the middle of the Lenten season for many local
residents, but on the evening of Feb. 26, people were still celebrating Mardi Gras.
Close to 70 people attended the mini-concert at the JEM Theatre in Harmony to see four-time Grammy nominated Creole, Cajun and Zydeco artist Cedric Watson put on a mini-concert. Mixing casual storytelling with virtuosic musicianship, Cedric and his washboard player, Desiree Champagne, who is from Cedric's band Bijou Creole, entertained the crowd with their energy.
The concert was put on by the Harmony Public Library as their annual mini-concert and was made possible through a grant from the Southeast Minnesota Arts Council. Cedric and the rest of Bijou Creole were contacted through Riverside Concerts in Rochester and traveled throughout southeast Minnesota, sharing their passion for music with the young and old.
"It's hard to explain. It's like you are tapping into something else. A spirit hits you and it just gets warmer and warmer," shared Cedric, describing the emotions and otherworldly connections he feels when performing.
Despite his unmatched musical ability and different cultural background, Cedric was easily able to connect with the crowd assembled at the JEM Theatre.
"Why ya'll so quiet?" he jokingly asked during some dead time in between songs.
When he received the answer that the people in the audience were Norwegian, Cedric launched into a story about a time he performed in Norway. "The people there were so nice, but they were quiet. In Louisiana, people would be yelling all the time."
During many of his songs, Cedric prompted the crowd to let loose by calling out, "Somebody scream!"
The concert playlist varied throughout the hour and Cedric showed just how diverse Creole, Cajun and Zydeco music is. As he explained, much of the music Cedric and Bijou Creole performs trace influences to African, Native American, French, and other styles. To prove his point, before one song, Cedric explained it as a Catholic, French and blues piece. "They don't really go together," he said. But they did. Much of Cedric's ancestry traces from many of those same influences, which has helped him identify with the genre of music even more.
Growing up, Cedric explained, he was raised by his grandmother, who listened to the Creole, Cajun and Zydeco styles a lot. In fact, when Cedric wanted to get a fiddle, his grandmother only let him after he had proven he could play that style of music on a guitar.
Before playing the most sober of all the pieces he performed last Tuesday, Cedric told a story about how the piece had terrified him when he was younger. The song had themes about death in it.
"My grandmother was gone one afternoon, and I was all by myself when this song came on," he said describing the anxiety he went through the rest of the day.
Cedric and Desiree than contrasted that song with one about Mardi Gras, which was very upbeat. The ability of music to evoke both the good and bad is something Cedric and Desiree enjoy about it.
"Music was born between the struggle of light and dark," explained Cedric, adding, "It has been around forever and can be used for both evil and good."
Besides the one song about death, most of the music performed that evening was lively and joyful. Since Cedric sang in French for many of the songs, he translated the meanings before he sang it.
Allowing music to influence people for good is something Cedric is dedicated to doing. After performing his last piece, Cedric asked everyone to take a message to heart saying, "If everyone respected themselves and those around them, the world would change tomorrow."
That message of Cedric's may be more powerful than his music.

The local knowledge is that Mr. McPhillips has and will do anything within legal means to close the landfill, which is his indisputable right. His offer of land for the FFA is commendable, but was that offer on the table before WM made theirs? Or was it just reactive?
Mr. McPhillips sees himself as benevolent, above the fray. But by placing closure of the landfill to any land donation, Mr. McPhillips has effectively tarnished any credit for benevolence he may have mustered. In other words, at least in my opinion, using any form of extortion to gain a personal desire cannot be ( and should not be ) construed as a simple gesture of kindness or benevolence, no matter how it's spun.

To the Editor: Boronow et al. describe the case of Z, a 36-year-old man who suffered an unremitting course of psychotic depression due to the complication of catatonia. The patient's catatonia, along with the family's reluctance, prevented Z from receiving what the authors felt was the treatment of choice, ECT. Z received courses of oral lorazepam and diazepam and, possibly, intramuscular diazepam, but the report does not mention the use of parenteral lorazepam.
Acute response of catatonia to lorazepam appears to be independent of manner of administration (R15601CHDDCHBA–R15601CHDBIEHG). Rosebush et al. (R15601CHDDCHBA) contended that response to lorazepam in their patients, four of whom were already receiving standing oral doses of benzodiazepines, was due to increased blood levels. Parenteral lorazepam, which produces rapid increases in plasma levels more reliably than other benzodiazepines, might be effective in nonresponders to oral benzodiazepines. We report a series of elderly patients with psychotic depression and catatonia (six men and one woman with a mean age of 73), treated with intramuscular lorazepam alone. All were referred to our geriatric psychiatry inpatient service for involuntary ECT. All had failed to respond to antidepressants with antipsychotics. Six had mutism, three negativism, three withdrawal, and one refusal to eat. A single dose of intramuscular lorazepam (2 mg in six patients, 0.5 mg in one) was given. Relief of catatonia, permitting meaningful conversation, occurred in six of seven patients within 2 hours. Responders were maintained on a regimen of oral lorazepam. Four went on to respond to ECT given on a voluntary basis; one responded to a course of oral risperidone, which his catatonia had previously prevented him from complying with; and one enjoyed a full remission of depression without further intervention. Response was dramatic in our responders.
Z received a course of intramuscular imipramine involuntarily; therefore, intramuscular lorazepam could have been justified on the basis of safety. We acknowledge that Z's length of illness could have decreased the likelihood of response to additional intramuscular lorazepam, but we feel that this intervention may have offered Z another opportunity to actively participate in the ECT consent process. We believe that any patient whose catatonia interferes with assessment or treatment of an underlying serious psychiatric illness, and who refuses or does not respond to oral benzodiazepines, should receive a trial of intravenous lorazepam (R15601CHDBIEHG), if safety permits. We refer to this as the "lorazepam challenge test," a term coined by our late mentor, T. George Bidder, M.D.

I don't follow the WS's new blogger, Talia. I clearly am not part of the new demography that the WS is appealing to and I don't want to skew their readership demography. She's very ultra-hip and that obviously doesn't fit me 'tall. I find her blogs, thus far, rather shallow and can't say I've learned much from them. It's clear that ole Marv gave her the marching orders to appeal to the 20's (that's not 1920) demography and to draw them into the WS sphere of influence. Clearly, I don't fit that bill of goods.
Her latest blog was so super/ultra-hip that I felt like I was reading something from a foreign language. Apparently, you don't read a "magazine" anymore...it's now just a "zine". I'm not sure if I could use that term for my large-print Reader'sDigest or my usual WeeklyReader or my Boy'sLife magazine. And I have no clue as to what a "ska zine" is. Or a "bidi". Is that some shorthand for a "bidet"?? I'm clueless..as well as ancient ole fuddy-duddy.
Anyway...her blog raves about a new "zine" called Loam Baby, written under a nom-de-plume. Anybody seen the mag...errrrr...."zine" yet and is it worth her raves?? It sounds a little too close for comfort to the Wine X mag...errrr...."zine" that was also ultra-hip....and now defunct.
Anyway...just sorta curious.

The devices that provide life support to infants in the U.S. are rarely appropriate for resource-limited countries' healthcare settings.
Approximately 3.3 million infants die each year worldwide, and over 800,000 of those deaths are due to respiratory insufficiency, a sometimes deadly condition that commonly occurs when an infant is born prematurely with underdeveloped lungs. Providing these premature infants with a small amount of breathing support, typically delivered by mechanical ventilators in the United States, often makes the difference between life and death. Modern mechanical ventilators are unfortunately of little use in many resource-limited countries' healthcare settings because they are too expensive to buy and maintain, and require highly trained personnel to operate and repair them.
In response to this challenge, the Neonatal Respiratory Support Technologies (NeoRest) team, based in Seattle Children's Research Institute's Center for Developmental Therapeutics, is working to reduce infant mortality and morbidity by developing affordable, easy-to-use and easy-to-maintain respiratory support solutions. The team's innovative approach to respiratory care, including the development of respiratory support devices and pulmonary exogenous surfactant, may revolutionize the way premature infants are treated in resource-limited countries.
Preterm birth is a major global health crisis that needs more focus, attention and research. The NeoRest team is striving to develop solutions that decrease the impact of preterm birth and ensure that children everywhere can go on to lead healthy lives.
Seattle Children's provides healthcare without regard to race, color, religion (creed), sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin (ancestry) or disability. Financial assistance for medically necessary services is based on family income and hospital resources and is provided to children under age 21 whose primary residence is in Washington, Alaska, Montana or Idaho.

A new group, called The American Rifle and Pistol Association, is hoping to become the go-to social media site for gun owners.
The American Rifle and Pistol Association's stated goal is to provide a non-partisan, digital place for gun owners to interact.
"We literally want this to be the go-to place for anything and everything about firearms," says the group's founder, Bob Gelinas.
Gelinas says the American Rifle and Pistol Association is a media platform where members have a main belief: protecting the second amendment.
"We also believe in John Lott's premise that more guns equals less crime... that trying to get guns out of more law abiding people's hands has been a proven disaster," says Gelinas.
The group's Facebook presence is growing, but some citizens are skeptical. On their Facebook page, some people posted comments calling the group, "pretty slick," then accusing them of trying to strip citizens of their rights to own weapons.
"We're definitely a pro-gun organization. We're all fellow gun owners. I mean, I myself am a concealed handgun carrier here in the state of Texas. We absolutely want our gun rights protected. We are not a pro-gun control organization," Gelinas says.
As pro-gun as they might be, the American Rifle and Pistol Association is in no way affiliated with the National Rifle Association. Both the NRA and Rifle and Pistol Association educate, train and offer membership. However, the Rifle and Pistol group says they don't have a political agenda. They say they're a social media and networking group.
"We're developing an iPhone and an Android app that you'll be able to download as a member. That'll let you do everything from not only be able to participate in the communication and activities of the group, but you'll have services that we offer... like how to find the nearest gun shop or gun range or places to go hunting. You'll be able to connect with other members to maybe find a hunting buddy or a range partner," says Gelinas.
The group is still very new, but eventually their success and longevity will be determined by participation from their members.
The men who founded the American Rifle and Pistol Association are from the business, tech and manufacturing industries. None of them work for the firearms manufacturing industry, nor are they law enforcement officers or politicians.

The arrangements for Gary Coleman's cremation have been held up after a judge in Utah gave permission for the late actor's ex-girlfriend, Anna Gray, to view his body one final time.
Anna, who is Gary's former manager, was named administrator of his estate in a 2005 will.
She is now in a legal battle with Shannon Price, Gary's ex-wife, who was appointed his heir in 2007, prior to their divorce.
The Diff'rent Strokes star passed away last month when he suffered a brain haemorrhage after accidentally falling at his home in Utah.

As of this writing, Apple has begun making refurbished second-generation iPads available for purchase in its online store. Although the slightly reduced cost of the refurbished models may attract some buyers, the cost hasn't been lowered by a substantial enough amount to likely generate a surge in tablet buying.
All told, the refurbished models are only $50 less than the price of a new iPad 2. For now, the models presently available in Apple's online store (US Only) include:
- 64 GB Wi-Fi (White and Black) for $649
- 32 GB Wi-Fi + 3G for $679
- 64 GB Wi-Fi + 3G for $779
Refurbished first-generation iPads remain available in the online Apple store, with the lowest end model - iPad with Wi-Fi 32GB - going for $399.

Get Festival Fresh With This Braided Undercut

Proof positive that there really is a braid for every occasion, this one takes its cues from the edgy, side-of-the-head buzzed look and gives it a romantic spin with a tight french braid. It's perfect for any kind of hair at any stage of cleanliness (music lovers roughing it a little more than others, we see you). We're totally obsessed with this new way to rock out — what do you think?

NEW YORK Spot demand for tin remains extremely weak in the United States, with some consumers even requesting to take less contracted material or deferring orders, traders told AMM. We just havent seen much interest at all, one trader said. One of the steel mills we do business with cut back on their contract because one of their largest customers (who supplies the canning industry) asked to cut back. The trader was kind of surprised, he said, adding, I thought food (demand) stayed constant. ....

Lunatics: The First Two Scripts
Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
Some of the articles I write have a way of lingering with me. My recent report on Lunatics is one of those. Free culture? Science fiction? Animation? Producers Terry Hancock and Rosalyn Hunter couldn't have pushed more of my buttons if they tried. So, wanting to learn more, I asked to see some of the scripts.
Hancock obliged by sending me the drafts of the first two scripts, "No Children in Space" and "Earth."
The first thing to say about the first two Lunatic scripts is they are amateur only in name and not in execution. Both are shootable scripts, formatted to the usual standards of TV and film. "No Children in Space," the more finished of the two, even includes suggestions for the musical scoring of each scene.
The second thing to say is that reading them made me aware of how much modern short drama is shaped by the artificial constraints of the television industry. Structurally, starting with a teaser makes little dramatic sense, but because of the spacing of commercials, that's what we are conditioned to expect. Consequently, I was a little surprised by the structure of "No Children in Space," since the credits appear thirteen minutes into a forty minute script. But then I realized that online is a different medium than TV, and no good reason exists for conforming to a structure that has nothing to do with the needs of story-telling.
Furthermore, as I read and re-read the scripts, I was aware that Lunatics is unusual in two ways. To start with, it's animation for adults. Not animation with a few references thrown in to keep Mommy and Daddy entertained while riding herd on the kids, but animation that a general understanding of the world.
For instance, in "Children," an interviewer asks whether taking children into space is dangerous, and her mother replies that her daughter will be safer than being driven to school. Later, on another talk show, a guest accuses the mother of being irresponsible and a street interviewer complains about the cost of space colonization. These are not concerns that a series aimed at children would bring up, but I suspect that we'll hear the same sort of comments when children actually do go into space.
Similarly, while the main language of the series is English, when people speak in another language, they speak that language. Not accented English, or a convention like the one that has ancient Romans or high Nazi officials speaking upper class English, but the actual language. It's another small sign of the adult-oriented realism for which the series strives.
Another rarity in Lunatics is its hard science approach. "Children," in particular, dwells on shots of space technology and landscapes that, when shot, will probably be reminiscent of some of the reverent scenes in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Unlike the average science fiction film, these two scripts lack battles or the sounds of weaponry in space – viewers are obviously expected to enjoy the spectacle of space and technology for their own sake. In other words, Lunatics is very much about what earlier generations of science fiction fans used to call "sense of wonder."
The Episodes
In general, I am all in favor of sense of wonder, which modern science fiction films tend to neglect for epically boring battles. However, I do wonder whether it can carry a forty minute show.
That question looms particularly large in "No Children in Space." The pilot episode is a prologue in the most literal sense – it is about what happens before the story begins. The trouble is, it is narrative without plot. Relying on sense of wonder, it has no conflict, just a depiction of the itinerary of three characters on a routine trip to the colony. This seems a large risk in a pilot, because many viewers might conclude that the rest of the series has the same lack of direction, and not bother exploring any further.
Yet with very little effort, the needed plot could easily be added. The script already has people criticizing the idea of colonization. Since an online series has no time constraints, why not add another ten minutes and depict an organized effort by a government or special interest group to prevent the daughter going into space? Why not have the mother and daughter one step ahead of a court order for custody? Perhaps the character trying to serve the court order could be one step behind them, and in the end, prove to have endangered everyone far more than the mother? Such a plot would give "No Children" the spice it needs to make viewers hungry for more, while remaining true to its chief concerns.
If viewers did judge the series from the current state of the pilot, that would be unfortunate, because "Earth" is much stronger dramatically. While "No Children" introduces characters, in "Earth" we actually seem them interacting. There is a wonderfully annoying guest to the colony and some subtle humor at the guest's expense, as well as a sub-plot that is developed and resolved with some skill. At the same time, the members of the colony start to emerge as individuals – no mean trick when so much else is happening at the same time.
In addition, "Earth" also introduces what I suspect will be an ongoing theme in the series, with the colonists struggling to overcome restrictions imposed by a remote and generally unsympathetic bureaucracy. This is a theme that should resonate strongly with Lunatic's target audience.
In fact, while I would hate to sound like the hapless FOX executive who decreed that Firefly be shown out of sequence, I am tempted to say that with minimal rewriting "Earth" would be a stronger introduction to Lunatics than "No Children." Reading "No Children," I worry about the series' ability to build an audience. By contrast, reading "Earth," I conclude that, if other episodes can reach the same standard, the series has an excellent chance of finding the viewers who would appreciate it.
Raw materials
After reading the two scripts, I come away with a stronger sense of exactly how ambitious Lunatics is. A free culture series of two dozen episodes is ambitious in itself. Yet Hancock and Hunter raise the stakes by having strong ideas of not only the story they want to tell, but also how they want to tell it. After reading the scripts, I find myself hoping that, despite my reservations about "No Children," that they manage to pull it off.
Hancock tells me that, in keeping with the free culture spirit, these scripts will soon be posted to the project's web site. Although some people might be wary of spoilers, how the story of Lunatics is told is going to be as important as the story itself, so keep an eye out for them and see what you think. If you're anything like me, then reading the raw scripts should leave you wanting to donate so they can actually be shot.comments powered by Disqus

I have a 3 paragraoh essay on how omeo is a hero. I Have no i dea what to write.. help please? Some reasons why he is a hero would be very nice.
Characteristics of a romantic hero:
Birth and class are unimportant: the individual transcends society
The battle is internal: it is a psychological war won by the "courage to be me".
Moral codes are eccentric–heroes make their own rules
Passions are outside of individual control
Self knowledge is valued more than physical strength or endurance
(physical courage is de-valued)
The hero is moody, isolated, and introspective
Loyalty is to a particular project and to a community of like-minded others
source: http://www.kindreason.com/archives/4heroes.htm
You can figure it out using those characteristics. Romeo has plenty of those that you can work with.
Shea, you should be bowing down to PML for that nice response. You won't get homework help like that from many others around here.
Young Romeo goes to a dance
And meets Juliet by happenstance
He commits homicide
Then they both suicide
When everyone's dead, that's romance!
"You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common: They don't alter their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views." -- Doctor Who

Horizon Bank closed by DFI
Published on Wed, Jan 13, 2010 by
Tara Nelson
Read More
The Washington Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) closed Horizon Bank January 8 after citing inadequate capital and severe loan losses. Immediately following the closure, DFI named the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver of Horizon Bank.
The FDIC immediately entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with Washington Federal, headquartered in Seattle, Washington. Washington Federal will assume all deposits and certain assets of Horizon Bank, except brokered deposits, which will be paid out by the FDIC.
"Horizon's capital has been depleted by large loan losses," Brad Williamson, Director of DFI's Division of Banks explained. "Like many banks across the country, Horizon's real estate construction and development portfolio has suffered as real estate values have fallen."
"While we are always disappointed when a bank is unable to continue safe and sound financial operations," DFI Director Scott Jarvis said, "we are very pleased to see a bank with deep roots in Washington undertaking a whole bank purchase, insuring the deposits and loans of individuals, businesses and public entities throughout Washington."
Horizon Bank is headquartered in Bellingham and has branches located in Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish and Pierce counties. As of Sept. 30, 2009, Horizon Bank had total assets of $1,299,986,000 and total deposits of $1,174,360,000.

The Subaru BRZ concept ‐STI‐
A study in pure driving pushed to the edge.
Sometimes the biggest ideas are really the simplest. Reduce size, cut weight, better the balance, and you'll dial up the thrill with agility and quickness. The SUBARU BRZ CONCEPT ‐STI‐ is a promise of what driving could be and an exploration of how a driver's car should be made. Dialed all the way up.

TWITTER Keep up with all the latest as it breaks. Get the feed.
YOUTUBE SUBARU BRZ CONCEPT ‐STI‐ Watch the video.
Tune in for the global reveal of the production SUBARU BRZ.
U.S.-spec production SUBARU BRZ makes its debut in Detroit.
The SUBARU BRZ takes the road.
To make a sports car that handles like no other, we knew it needed engineering like no other. So we looked deep below the skin, starting with the unique, horizontally-opposed SUBARU BOXER engine. Its low, flat design and balanced layout make it ideal for powering a car devoted to turning.
Around the SUBARU BOXER engine, the chassis could keep a low profile and sit tight over suspension pushed to the corners and tuned to heighten the agility of its short wheelbase. First shown at the Geneva International Motor Show, March 2011, this Rear-Wheel Drive Sports Car Technology Concept has been tuned and tested for 3 years. Today, it forms the heart of the SUBARU BRZ CONCEPT ‐STI‐. Tomorrow, it takes the road.
You can see in its tight dimensions and weight-saving carbon fibre used in the roof panel, front spoiler and rear wing, the SUBARU BRZ CONCEPT ‐STI‐ announces a commitment to losing weight to quicken performance and lessen our impact. From concept to reality, excess is avoided, and only that which enhances the drive will be added.
A new vision reveals a new engine. The 2.0-litre SUBARU BOXER engine was overhauled right down to its basic structure and retuned with advanced D-4S injection to enhance its natural smoothness and torque. Both direct and indirect injection on each cylinder optimises the air and fuel mixture, for greater fuel efficiency and power.
The pistons in the SUBARU BOXER engine are laid out horizontally, so the engine lays flatter. Then we mounted it much lower to the ground and moved it closer to the driver. It promises a closer connection between driver and car, steering and response, hands and heart.
Unexpected, but not unprecedented, the SUBARU BRZ CONCEPT ‐STI‐ gives shape to a new front-engine, rear-wheel-
drive platform. A configuration simply unmatched at delivering a dynamic handling character, for a car that will be devoted to
delighting the driver.

Aleve for premenstrual and mid-cycle acne
Posted 08 December 2006 - 12:03 AM
Posted 11 December 2006 - 08:12 PM
Posted 11 December 2006 - 08:23 PM
Posted 11 December 2006 - 09:12 PM
I suppose it might help ... aspirin is an anti-inflammatory as well. But I suspect that Advil is more effective than aspirin .... and I find Aleve more effective than Advil.
I'm taking it again this week, and it is DEFINITELY working. I started as soon as the first tiny zits popped up, and 24 hours later they'd all gone down again.
BTW, I take EFAs daily ... they are definitely great for my skin, and I see a huge difference when I'm taking them. But I would still get the PMS pimples if it weren't for Aleve.
Posted 12 December 2006 - 11:28 AM
This is the 4th ovulation cycle I have tried this and month I only had one small jawline pimple.
Thank you so much for sharing this information.
Posted 12 December 2006 - 11:38 AM
Don't you love it when something so simple works so well?
Posted 13 December 2006 - 08:58 PM
Reminder to self: for maximum effectiveness, I have to use Aleve TWICE a day during PMS week.
If I only use it once (at night), I get the tiny zits popping up during the day.
Must remember to take one in the AM as well.
Posted 14 December 2006 - 07:24 PM
So excited, will report back next month!
Posted 14 December 2006 - 11:11 PM
Posted 15 December 2006 - 02:17 AM
I just feel that the only downside to this is that your body may get de-sensitized from all that "unnecessary" aspirin intake. To the point where it takes more than an Aleve to alleviate a headache. no pun intended.
doesn't mean i'm not going to try this when the chance come around...
Posted 15 December 2006 - 08:47 AM
I don't see how taking 2 Aleve tablets per day for a few days each month could have such an effect.
Posted 15 December 2006 - 09:49 AM
Aleve is just Naproxin (sp?) I am sure they sell that in Canada. I used to live in Buffalo, NY so I know for sure they had it in Ontario.
Good luck!
Posted 15 December 2006 - 09:52 AM
Yes, it's naproxen sodium.

2 per day during PMS still works great for me ....
Posted 23 January 2007 - 06:20 PM
I decided to pin this topic ... it's too good to lose and I don't always remember to bump it!

National HE STEM Programme
An Overview
The National Higher Education STEM Programme is a three-year initiative funded by the Higher Education Funding Councils for England and Wales (HEFCE/HEFCW). It started in August 2009 and complete in July 2012. The Programme aims to increase and widen participation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and enhance the skills and knowledge base of the workforce in these areas. Although focused around the STEM subjects, it primarily concentrates its support on the disciplines of Chemistry, Engineering, Mathematics and Physics. There are however wider benefits to the STEM sector as a whole.
The Programme takes forward activities in three related strands:
- Activities to widen participation within the STEM disciplines at HE level amongst students of traditional age;
- HE curriculum developments focusing upon course delivery and design, student support, and knowledge and skills;
- Activities to encourage those currently within the workforce and society without a Level 4 qualification to engage in further study to develop enhanced knowledge and skills.
The National HE STEM Programme:
- adopts a holistic approach to increasing and widening participation amongst school-age students,
- examines the current undergraduate curriculum and explore the teaching of the critical STEM skills to ensure graduates of all ages are adequately prepared for their workplace,
- encourages Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to engage with employers on a regional basis and develop flexible and tailored programmes of study to meet regional skills needs,
- delivers this programme in collaboration with six regional spokes, four professional bodies and their subject centers.
For more information, please visit the National HE STEM Programme main website.
The London Engineering Project (LEP)
The London Engineering Project (LEP) managed by The Royal Academy of Engineering (the Academy) was the pilot project for the engineering strand of this project. The National HE STEM programme take ideas, approaches and effective practice learnt thorough the LEP's work which are adopted and adapted for the needs of the HEIs involved with the National HE STEM Programme.
The LEP won an award at the London Education Partnership Awards on Monday, 7th June 2010 under the category Inspiring journeys: excellent professional practice in curriculum support for STEM. The LEP shone out as an example of a well-rounded partnership between universities, employers, third sector organisations, and primary and secondary schools, which delivered improvements across all phases to widen participation in engineering in higher education.
Role of The Royal Academy of Engineering in National HE STEM Programme
The Royal Academy of Engineering is leading the engineering strand of the project building on the effective practice of the LEP. It supports the National HE STEM programme through collaborations with the HEIs to encourage the exploration of new approaches to recruiting students and delivering programmes of study in engineering. It enables the transfer of good practice across the HE STEM sector, facilitates its wider adoption, and encourages innovation. The Programme does not seek to undertake short-term interventions, but focuses upon sustainable activities with the potential to achieve long-term impact within the Higher Education sector.
The Royal Academy of Engineering's Education Programmes
The Royal Academy of Engineering also runs programmes that work nationally in England and Wales, for further details of this activity please go to National Engineering Programme on the Royal Academy's website.

Pike County Schools Superintendent Dr. Mark Bazzell reacted Thursday to reports of a wreck that killed two and injured three others the evening before.
While not providing specifics about those affected, Dr. Bazzell called the crash a terrible tragedy for the system, adding that it has an impact on three of the system's five schools.
Alabama State Troopers say a father and his son were killed Wednesday afternoon in a single vehicle crash just outside Troy around 6 p.m..
Timothy H. Green, 34, was driving his 2006 Chevrolet Silverado along Pike County Road 3304 when he lost control, ran off the road, struck a tree and overturned. Green and his 14-year-old son, Timothy Blake Green, were pronounced dead on the scene. State Troopers say seat belts were not being used at the time of the crash.
Three others, unidentified, were transported to Troy Regional Medical Center. The extent of their injuries was not released.
Dr. Bazzell said counselors are at each of the schools affected, saying it's been "a sad day all around. These are great kids and all are well respected by peers and teachers."
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, but authorities say speed and use of an electronic device are considered factors in the crash.

Does Nic Cage's bird-hair render our argument invalid? Let's discuss...
We review the quasi-remake of an Italian comic book from the 1980's.
Variety is rumoring that Danish director Nikolaj Arcel is onboard to direct a "Deadman" movie based on the DC series of the same name. Arcel's films include "King's Game" and "Island or Lost Souls." Beloved Guillermo del Roro and Susan Montford are said to be producing.
"Deadman is the ghost of a murdered circus acrobat who has the power to possess the living in order to seek out his killer as well as to help the innocent. The character first appeared in 1967 and was created by writer Arnold Drake and artist Carmine Infantino."
In yesterday's news we reported on a story regarding a new film called "Eve", and how its plot bore a striking resemblance to another film in production right now called "Hack & Slash". Both stories involve a sexy female with a dead parent who has made it her life mission to track down "slasher killers".
Here's the teaser for Park Chan Wook's vampire film "Thirst". I have no idea what's going on since it's in Korean but people seem excited so I'm just going to go with it.
The guy who wrote "Watchmen", David Hayter is going to direct a werewolf thriller called "Slaughter's Road". No real details as of yet, but Thomas Dekker ("The Sarah Connor Chronicles") and Ray Stevenson ("Punisher: War Zone") are in talks to star.
AICN has the first look at "Goon", the CGI adaptation of Eric Powell's comic book of the same name, being produced by David Fincher. I've never heard of the property but it looks pretty sweet to me.
I'm sure this movie "And Soon the Darkness" is about something. Personally, I stopped reading after "starring Amber Heard and Odette Youstman". What are they trying to start the apocalypse? Do they sincerely thing our pea-brains can handle all that hotness on one movie screen?
Officials are trying to ban genital waxing in New Jersey. This should be fine, since there aren't any hairy Italian people running around... oh wait...
Hiding stuff in plain sight is sometimes a great tact... unless of course you're talking about growing weed. In that case, keeping the plants on your front porch might not be a great idea.
When he dies Michael Jackson plans to be "plastinated", just like those poor Chinese people in the "Body Worlds" exhibit currently traveling the country. Enjoy that breakfast!
1942: John Wayne Gacy, part time clown, serial killer, and sodomizer of dozens of boys, is born in Chicago. His father was convinced Gacy was a "sissy", but friends and family didn't really suspect anything untoward was afoot until his 1968 arrest for coercing a teenage boy employee into committing multiple homosexual acts.
In the event that you live in a cave, or under a rock, you know full well that this past weekend marked the release of Zack Snyder's "Watchmen". The internet is a buzz with post viewing talk and for myself, I feel the need to join them!
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.


text: When I asked a couple of friends if getting jealous over something like your crush flirting with other girls, they said that it was okay. But my crush said that it was wrong being jelly because it was stated in the Bible. For me, it's okay to be jealous over that kind of things. It just means that you really like that person and you don't want to be separated from them. XD

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
If the 2005 vintage was the delicate and ever so elegant Audrey Hepburn, this 2006 is Marilyn Monroe. Gorgeous black cherry opaque color in the glass; one truly is struck by the dark depths of this wine even before the first sip. Flavors of cassis, blackberry and dark cacao mingle with aromas of black fruit, cedar and black olive. The 2006 is an astonishing vintage that continues to reveal its flavors with increasing intensity culminating in a layered crescendo of fine grain tannins, blackberry and dark chocolate espresso. This is a powerful, seductive wine that benefits from decanting up to thee hours ahead of serving.
"Bright ruby. Intensely perfumed bouquet of smoky red and dark berries lifted by a sexy floral quality. Mineral-driven raspberry and blackcurrant flavors are underscored by tobacco and graphite elements and supported by a spine of zesty minerals. The smoky note defines the long, gently sweet finish. Lots going on here already, but give it some age."

International Wine Cellar
"From a 1,400 foot elevation site, the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Mountain Estate Vineyard offers sweet red and black currant notes interwoven with hints of truffles, damp earth, forest floor, lead pencil shavings, and flowers. It possesses excellent ripeness for a 2006, a dense, medium to full-bodied palate, and moderate tannins. This wine should drink well for 15 years"

The Wine Advocate
Founded in 1973 by Fred and Juelle Fisher, the winery is nestled at the 1500-foot elevation on the western face of the Mayacamas Mountains between the Napa and Sonoma Valleys and home to their Wedding Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and Whitney's Vineyard Chardonnay. Their Coach Insignia Cabernet, Lamb Vineyard Cabernet and RCF Vineyard Merlot come from their estate on the Silverado Trail in the Napa Valley. It is from these two sites that the winery strives to fulfill their mission of producing world class Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied.

(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity.

Photo from Pret A Manger's website, Working at Pret
Lately I find I have eaten a considerable amount of lunches at Pret a Manger, the London-based pre-made sandwich shop. Thinking about one great experience after another, I grew curious about how Pret continues to over-deliver on my expectations. I did a little research on the company to learn more.
The fundamentals of the business strategy are tight: provide a streamlined menu, prepare food the day of consumption, use local ingredients, charge a price roughly equivalent to a fast food value meal and get the customer in and out of the store in under 5 minutes.
This strategy actually affords the brand an ability to beat the traditional giants on their own promises. Who else can deliver the freshness and speed Pret has to offer?
Beyond speed and freshness, Pret really differentiates itself on the experience it offers. As you approach an army of cashiers on your way out of the store, you are greeted by smiling employees conveying excitement as they help you move through the line at lightning speed.
No doubt, scaling this type of experience at the rate Pret has grown is no easy task. To do this, the company has very strategically aligned its employees to the superior experience it seeks to deliver to customers.
This alignment is present in every phase of the employee's journey with the company – from the experience of applying for the job through getting promoted. Prospective employees are sent to work in a store for a day where the team in place will, after a few hours, determine if the candidate exhibits the right level of customer orientation to get the job.
Once on the job, the employee finds himself a part of a team that is collectively incentivized to deliver the highest level of cheer to customers possible. When employees receive a promotion, they are given $50-$100 that they are required to give back to the colleagues that helped shape their career along the way.
As the brand continues to grow, no doubt other brands will look to react by pulling on the traditional levers: product innovation, price, and scale. However, pulling on these levers promises only periodic spikes in business performance, not the sustainable value generated from real strategic alignment.
The lesson for brands? Focus more on aligning your employee base behind your business strategy to deliver a richer customer experience.

It may have been a holiday week in North Kingstown but that doesn't mean the news slows down.
This week, the Standard Times brings you up-to-date information on North Kingstown's 2011 budget, including what appears to be a $233K surplus when all is said and done.
In addition, we update you on the progress made by Exeter's Woody Hill School, which is undergoing a restoration. Plus, we preview this weekend's Wickford Arts Festival.
All that and more in this week's Standard Times. Pick up a copy today!
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – Ruth Tomlin Gronneberg was awaiting her granddaughter's arrival from New York on June 17 on the platform of the Kingston station. The wind was strong as the train zoomed by, knocking the 91-year old South Kingstown off her feet, her husband, Edward Gronneberg said.
Well, it's finally happened. By the time you read this we'll know whether Dr. Phil Thornton is going to stick around as the superintendent of North Kingstown schools.
He came into the job as the unanimous choice of the school committee with members like Melvoid Benson and the late Doug Roth singing his praises. Dr. Thornton has made it plain that if he goes out it will be largely due to the rancorous relationship with "some members" of the committee.

While the athletic fields at East Greenwich High School have received a major facelift the bad two years, the dugouts on the baseball diamonds have remained lingering blemishes.
John Mahoney and the Diamond Baseball Club, a group of baseball team parents and boosters, are hoping to change that.
Mahoney briefed the School Committee Tuesday night on his group's plans to improve the dugouts, lengthening them and building cinderblock structures and roofs. The current dugouts offer a fence, a bench and little else, or as Mahoney put it, "a metal cage."
"It's a great facility, but these dugouts don't fit the bill right now," he said.
Without taking a formal vote, the committee gave its blessing to the plan. Chairwoman Deidre Gifford referred Mahoney to the Fields Committee, which Superintendent Victor Mercurio plans to convene next month to review plans for the dugout construction with an eye toward School Committee approval at its Aug. 16 meeting.
Mahoney said if the go-ahead is given then and details such as a construction plan and liability insurance are finalized, he and a group of parents can have the varsity field dugouts built by the beginning of November. He said they have raised $2,500 already, with each dugout's cost estimated between $4-5,000.
Gifford said use of the town impact fee fund, which is covering the cost of the new concession stand being built at the football field, is also a possibility.
The new dugouts are necessary for safety reasons, he said – from disturbances both climatological and parental.
"There's no privacy in these dugouts for the coach to talk to a player. The first game we were able to use the varsity field last year, we had a situation where a parent got into it with a coach and the police had to be called," said Mahoney.
Another reason covered dugouts are needed, he said, is the baseball fields' location, about a quarter-mile from the school building.

NORTH KINGSTOWN—It's been just over two decades since Joanne Sbrega first opened The Little Miracle Early Leaning preschool but after years of teaching and seeing more than 800 children come through the doors, her journey has officially ended.
The last field day and graduation at the pre-school, located at 860 Quidnessett Drive in North Kingstown, took place Friday morning with plenty of ice cream, huge blow-up bouncy toys and shared, fond memories.
NORTH KINGSTOWN – If you enjoy seeing the 40-plus American flags flying in Wickford during this year's Fourth of July celebration, you can thank Bill Pennoyer who started the tradition in 2004, aided by Updike's Newtown Cub Scout Pack 1.
Bill, a U.S. Army veteran of the Vietnam War, is 68 and is passionate about Old Glory.

CHARLESTOWN — Along with the scenic views of the Atlantic Ocean, alluring beaches, and thick forests, one of the best and most breathtaking pieces of Charlestown resides right above our heads.
The town's gorgeous dark skies have become more than a reason to stop by the Frosty Drew Nature Center & Observatory. According to Observatory Director Francine Jackson, the skies have actually drawn people to visit and even reside in Charlestown.

NORTH KINGSTOWN—Tuesday night, the North Kingstown School Committee held a special business meeting in which it elected member Kim Page as chairperson and Richard Welch as vice chairperson of the committee but the most newsworthy item of the night for the school district wasn't what was happening in NK, it was what was happening 35 miles away.
By a 6-1 margin, the Cumberland School Committee voted to select NK Superintendent Dr. Phillip Thornton for its vacant Superintendent position.

you clearly arnt a hunter.
Hunter vs. DK: Deathgrip, disengage, disengage, icy chains, hunter dead.
Hunter vs. pally? pally bubble knock out hunter...hunter dead without a shot hitting they pally. Pretty much applies to rogues too.
Hunter vs. warlock: warlock dies, hunter goes away, dies at home while eating dinner.
Hunter vs. Mage: RNG contest.
Hunter vs. Druid: that can be a nice fight depending on the druid.
Hunter vs. warrior: hunter screwed, charge is a bitch.
hunter vs. priest: can be fun, as long as the priest doesn't fear constantly. MC deaths are a little messed too.
as for DPS in PvE: hunters are normally top contenders, in my guild we have a warrior that gives up a run for our money, and a druid that is quickly jumping up the ranks now that we are in Ulduar.
