The week's 'AT&T's Spotlight' performance featured Richard 'Steelo' Vazquez, who performed with the Groovaloos on 'Dancing With The Stars: The Results Show' on Tuesday, May 1, 2012. 'Steelo' was one of the top B-boy dancers working in music, film and television and a member of The Groovaloos dance group. In 2011, he suffered a brain aneurysm and he lost the ability to speak and walk. He spent six months in the hospital and now goes to physical rehabilitation five days a week, seven hours a day. 'Steelo' reunited with the Groovaloos for the first time since his aneurysm.

Baby Storytimes
Toddler Time
For children aged 18 to 36 months and their parents or caregivers. During Toddler Time, a librarian reads aloud and leads adult-child pairs in activities. Research indicates the importance of the adult-child bond in building early literacy. Toddler Time also supports early literacy by building vocabulary and sharing age-appropriate literature in an atmosphere of fun, engaging activity.
Lincoln City Libraries presents its popular preschool storytimes at all library locations. Preschool Storytime is a half-hour of books and activities for children ages three, four and five.
Bennett Martin Public Library

To celebrate Hubble's 20th anniversary, HubbleSite collected messages from the public about the human side of the telescope's saga. Thousands of people took the time to share the ways Hubble had touched their lives. This project is now closed, but you can see a sampling of the messages received under "Message Snapshots." All messages that were sent are now stored in the Hubble archive alongside the full collection of the telescope's science data. Generations from now, researchers looking for Hubble's impact on society may use these messages to better understand how one telescope changed the face of astronomy.
Thanks for sharing the ways that Hubble has inspired you. Enjoy this printable poster celebrating Hubble's 20th Anniversary.
Message Snapshots
"Happy Anniversary to the Hubble Telescope! Outer space is still such a mystery, but thanks to Hubble we know so much more now than we did two decades ago. Not enough of us fully appreciate all that Hubble has done and continues to do. I am sure we will discover even more in the next twenty years! "
Flight Engineer and NASA Science Officer TJ Creamer sent this message from the International Space Station, where he lived and worked for 161 days this year.

The Children's Medical Center was built in 1998, and serves as a national model for what can be achieved when hospital administrators collaborate with families and children in the planning, design and construction of a hospital. The pediatric hospital was conceived in the mold of patient and family centered care and continues to operate according to that philosophy of care today.
We are the region's only children's hospital, and we are devoted to providing state-of-the-art health care to children and adolescents. Our team of pediatric specialists - the largest number of pediatric specialists and subspecialists in the region - treats everything from life-threatening conditions to common childhood illnesses.
We provide the region's only:
Whether a child is a newborn or an adolescent, our comprehensive care is designed for acute illnesses as well as the treatment of ongoing chronic conditions.
To learn more about our services, go to mcghealth.org/kids. To make an appointment with one of our pediatric specialists or subspecialists, simply call 706-721-KIDS (5437) or 1-888-721-KIDS.

Quit blaming the trap
The conibear trap, when used properly, is a fantastic tool to dispatch animals quickly and humanely.
Hunting partridge, not deer
I'm calling about the two people that wrote in about the bear traps in Tuesday's paper.
Conibear traps
The trap is really not the problem; it is the lack of responsibility of the owner to keep his dog at home. Most dogs that are let run in the country end up chasing deer at some point in their life.
Affordable health care
President Obama promised affordable health care. I pay cash for my drugs (considerable) and cash for my doctor visits.
Thank you, secret Santa
To the secret Santa who purchased my groceries on Dec. 22 at Cub Foods, you are the true spirit of the holiday season and I am extremely grateful for your kind generosity.
It's the day before the Christmas holidays and students are still in school? There are so many students who travel for the holidays and I would like to say that is pretty hard to do if they still have class the day before Christmas.
Brainerd Public Utilities
So I get my bill today and read their newsletter.
Christmas disgrace
It's Christmas, our Lord's birthday, and you print an article by liberal Kathleen Parker extolling Christopher Hitchens, a noted British atheist who hated Christ. How fitting for your liberal Democratic paper. Merry Christmas.
Lowest of lows
I am an employee of a retail store in the Brainerd/Baxter area and I would like to wish the person/persons who stole the baby Jesus from our nativity scene a Merry Christmas.
Pretty simple
Something to think about for the taxpayers. When you see trucks out spreading sand at above 15-20 degrees, such as today, sand doesn't melt any ice.

M-health apps reach 40,000, but many "don't work"
According to the Brookings Inst., there are now, believe it or not, over 40,000 mobile apps aimed at health professionals and their patients.
These range in functionality from reminders, remote surveillance, treatment and medication monitoring, decision support to "telemedicine."
In the US, the FDA (food and drugs adminisration) has yet to quality-test and certify apps for efficacy.
The Washington Post reports that many apps are "based upon flimsy science at best".
Doctors in the US are reportedly early-adopters of apps for both mobile and tablet PC, and the move towards mHealth is inexorable.
For example, the Brookings Inst. estimates that savings of 25% in the care of elderly are feasible through mHealth.

AUSTIN -- Capital Metro routes could be changing soon as the transportation agency looks to add, eliminate and speed up its service.
Cap Metro is hosting a public hearing Monday afternoon to ask riders what they look for in service. The board of directors will then meet on Sept. 23 to vote on the proposed changes.
The proposed changes will impact approximately 17,300 riders who use the routes. One suggestion the board will consider is eliminating two of the lowest performing routes for the University of Texas system. One of those routes runs along Cameron Road, and the other runs along Wickersham Lane.
To make up for the loss, Cap Metro recommends expanding its hours and days of service along nearby main routes.
The agency is also looking to realign routes at Manor and Riverside and Colony Park and Windsor Park to boost UT access.
Elsewhere the agency wants to add some new stops. It's part of Cap Metro's expanded MetroRapid service. A new route will run from Tech Ridge to Southpark Meadows. These include the updated buses which have signal priorities to get through town faster.
Monday's public hearing starts at 5 p.m. at the Cap Metro headquarters in East Austin. The board votes later this month. Any approved changes will begin next spring.

The Division of Career Education has developed the Common
Standards for Career Education Programs. The six common standards
• Program Management and Planning,

There are many films released every year, but few have anything like the impact that Star Wars first made on the world when the first instalment (at the time, confusingly called Episode IV: A New Hope) was released in 1977. I was just old enough to understand some of the hype and hubbub of that film, but for me the ...

Invasive species cure worse than disease?
By ALAN NEWPORT
A long-term scientific study shows herbicides may cause more problems than they resolve for large-scale treatment of invasive species.
"Our study presents a cautionary tale about invasive-species management: The treatment can be worse than the disease," says Matt Rinella, an ecologist at the Fort Keogh Agricultural Experiment Station in Miles City, Mont.
Rinella revisited a Montana study done in the early 1980s that treated leafy spurge with herbicide and measured the results. He and other researchers recently followed up on that study 16 years after the herbicide treatment.
In brief, Rinella says they found leafy spurge overcame the large-scale spraying and was as prevalent or worse 16 years later. In fact, the original data showed it recovered to near pre-spraying levels four years after the first treatment.
Rinella says it's probable, though not certain, that leafy spurge made up a higher percentage of the biomass 16 years after the spraying. He explains that some statistical errors in counting biomass make it uncertain.
But what makes that likelihood more certain is other research that shows both grasses and native forbs compete for space and resources with leafy spurge, so the reduction of native forbs would leave more room for the invader.
Part of the downside to this story is some native forbs appear to have suffered serious long-term depletion, and perhaps irreparable damage, from the herbicide treatment. Two native wildflowers, Missouri goldenrod and yarrow, were nearly extinct in the sprayed plots. Without herbicide, these two species proved capable of coexisting indefinitely with the invasive species. Although the herbicide appeared to be fully dissipated within two years, the plant community may have been permanently altered.
This situation is a problem because elimination of native species apparently can create more opportunity for exotic species, and a decrease in biodiversity nearly always makes an ecosystem weaker.
Effects on the rest of the plant community varied:
• When herbicide wasn't used, many native forbs did similarly well in grazed and non-grazed plots.
• Four native perennials became rarer in sprayed plots only when grazing was excluded.
• Plots that were sprayed and grazed fared better overall than plots that were sprayed and not grazed.
• The herbicide continued to suppress three native forbs one year after application, but like the exotics, these plants recovered by the study's end.
• Grass production increased the year of spraying, and most likely the next year.
Rinella says these findings don't mean invasive-species control with herbicides is universally a bad idea, but he thinks it shows large-scale treatment may be counterproductive.
Rinella and the other researchers suggest this study also could provide a broader warning for invasive-species management beyond the range-management community.
Plots show herbicide, grazing effects
Initially, this weed-control project studied the effectiveness of the herbicide Tordon on leafy spurge from 1982 to 1984.
In the project, 10,000 acres were sprayed — minus several areas covered with tarps for research purposes — at the N-Bar Ranch near Grass Range, Mont. Grazing exclosures also were erected on some of the plots to keep cattle off. This created repetitions of plots that were:
• sprayed and grazed
• sprayed and not grazed
• not sprayed and grazed
• not sprayed and not grazed
Sixteen years later, the leader of the project took Matt Rinella, who was then a graduate student, to visit the N-Bar Ranch with other students and faculty. The exclosures were still standing, which presented the opportunity to study how a one-time aerial spraying of herbicide and more than a decade of grazing, or lack of it, affects the rangeland.

Tofflemire: The ages of cool - or notMy daughter is a cool mom, or so she says. She likes to interact with her sons' friends and believes they find her entertaining.
By: Kathy Tofflemire, INFORUM
My daughter is a cool mom, or so she says. She likes to interact with her sons' friends and believes they find her entertaining.
I'm not really in a position to judge. I'm a lot of things, but cool isn't one of them.
But is it possible to be cool enough that you are not an embarrassment to your tweens or teens?
It seems that from the age of around 12 until maybe 18, parents are people you just can't take out in public.
My daughter adds an "r" to the end of my older grandson's name as a term of endearment. In the privacy of their home, that's fine. But yelling it across the baseball diamond or the football field will earn her a dirty look you can read from yards away.
And to add insult to injury, his baseball teammates started using the name last summer, although I don't think they were necessarily teasing him.
When he started playing basketball in December, she was specifically instructed by him not to "alter" his name when yelling encouragement.
My daughter points out that it could be worse. What if he had grown up with her calling him "pooky-bear" or "shnookums"? My pet name for her as an infant was "Tootles." I have no idea why.
I don't think my grandson is yet making his mother drop him off down the block from school on the days he doesn't take the bus, but there definitely will be no public displays of affection. PDAs do seem to be allowed, however, after a well-played game.
I have been talking some lately about retiring in a few years. I observed that I could then spend more time with my grandsons.
"Cool," said the older one.
"My dear boy," I responded. "You will be 16 years old. The last thing you are going to want to do is spend time with your grandmother."
But I think grandparents aren't quite as embarrassing as parents are, for some reason. Maybe we get a pass based on elderliness
I'm not so old, though, that I don't remember those feelings of embarrassment. One incident in particular is seared in my memory.
I, age 13 or so, and my parents were attending a church supper. We were seated at a table with fellow parishioners, and the meal was being served family-style. As the dishes of food were being brought to the dining room, my father said, "Oh, good, here come the vittles."
I was positively mortified. I was sure our tablemates thought we'd just come from the Ozarks, probably second cousins to the Clampetts and maybe had a "ce-ment pond" in our backyard. I wanted to crawl under the table.
And eventually those tables turn. …
The first year that we lived in Connecticut, my then 16-year-old daughter came back to Fargo for Christmas.
Upon her return, I was to pick up her boyfriend before going to the airport. She warned him that I would try to be amusing during the drive and that he should just deal with her embarrassing mother as best he could.
See, I wasn't cool.

A subscription selects an item of a sequence (string, tuple or list) or mapping (dictionary) object:
primary [ expression list ]
The primary must evaluate to an object of a sequence or mapping type.
If the primary is a mapping, the expression list must evaluate to an object whose value is one of the keys of the mapping, and the subscription selects the value in the mapping that corresponds to that key. (The expression list is a tuple except if it has exactly one item.)
If the primary is a sequence, the expression list must evaluate to a plain integer. If this value is negative, the length of the sequence is added to it (so that, e.g.,
x[-1] selects the last item of
x.) The resulting value must be a nonnegative integer less than the number of items in the sequence, and the subscription selects the item whose index is that value (counting from zero).
A string's items are characters. A character is not a separate data type but a string of exactly one character.
Subscriptions as targets
Subscriptions can also appear as assignment targets.
The primary expression in the reference is evaluated. It should yield either a mutable sequence object (such as a list) or a mapping object (such as a dictionary). Next, the subscript expression is evaluated.
If the primary is a mutable sequence object (such as a list), the subscript must yield a plain integer. If it is negative, the sequence's length is added to it. The resulting value must be a nonnegative integer less than the sequence's length, and the sequence is asked to assign the assigned object to its item with that index. If the index is out of range, IndexError is raised (assignment to a subscripted sequence cannot add new items to a list).
If the primary is a mapping object (such as a dictionary), the subscript must have a type compatible with the mapping's key type, and the mapping is then asked to create a key/datum pair which maps the subscript to the assigned object. This can either replace an existing key/value pair with the same key value, or insert a new key/value pair (if no key with the same value existed).

Property names are listed in the language in which they have been submitted by the State Party
The Kangra Valley Railway (KVR005) is a linear Property 163.720 Kilometers long and 0.762 meter wide, which runs from Pathankot (located at an elevation of 383.820 m) to Joginder Nagar (located at an elevation of 1184.160 m), in the Kangra Valley, in the states of Punjab (Gurdaspur District) and Himachal Pradesh (Kangra & Mandi districts), India. The difficult mountain terrain involved the bridging of ravines through which flow the mountain torrents and some of these are noteworthy as engineering marvels. There are also two tunnels. Over its length of 163.720 Kilometers, the KVR005 ascends at a maximum gradient of 1 in 25, crosses over 993 bridges, runs through two tunnels and winds through 484 curves (sharpest being 300 equal to 58.33 m). This unique line has been constructed skillfully to present to the traveller, a chance to gaze on the ever present panorama of snow-clad ranges and the gold green fields.
The Kangra valley is the region between the Dhauladhar ranges of the Himalayas to the north (a low chain of ridges about 2500 metres high in front and peaks 5000 metres tall behind) and the foothills to the south, about 50 kilometres wide, ascending from West to East and the KVR005 runs through its entire length. It remains a well known tourist attraction in Northern India. The portion of the line in Gurdaspur and Kangra districts forms the lower section (smoother gradients and curves) and the portion in Mandi district forms the upper section (steepest gradients and curves). The route of the KVR005, developed as a cultural corridor and provided access to the Kangra Valley; linking important towns, very holy Hindu pilgrimage centers & settlements. It also, provides access to the Dalai Lama's abode at Mcleodganj.
The construction of KVR005 began in 1925 and it was opened on 1st December 1928 for freight traffic for the Uhl hydroelectric project due to which this Railway was constructed. In April 1929, it also, became a passenger Railway. It suffered a disruption during World War II (1941-42) when a portion of its track was dismantled for war material supply but it was restored twelve years later in April 1954. A short portion (about 25 kilometres) of KVR005 also had to be realigned in 1973 due to the construction of the Pong Dam resulting in a disruption for three years. Despite these disruptions, other natural / technical calamities in high mountainous areas and although the KVR005 has never been remunerative; it has survived as a cultural asset and the Indian Railways is committed to its conservation for posterity.
A trip on the KVR005 is a thrilling experience and the best way to savour the beauty of the Kangra Valley. Pathankot is the interchange station, of the broad-gauge main line in Northern India. Broad Gauge trains are connected at Pathankot, and have about 7 pairs of connecting narrow gauge services. The KVR005 was opened with steam traction and it now being run with diesel locomotives based at Pathankot. However, one original steam locomotive has been restored for KVR005 and this is also based at Pathankot for heritage steam train service available for chartered train operation. Trains are run at a maximum speed of 45 kmph in the lower section and 20 kmph in the top section (steepest portion).
The railway can be divided into three sections as follows: -
- i) The first section is 12 kilometers long from Pathankot (elevation 383.820 meters) to Chakki Bridge (elevation 398.780 meters); in Gurdaspur district, in the state of Punjab. Pathankot has the locomotive shed, carriage sub-depot of the KVR005. Starting from Pathankot, the narrow gauge line runs out of the town and crosses the Chakki river in a scenic manner. Significant locations and structures along this route include inter-alia the Pathankot station and Chakki bridge. The maximum gradient is 1 in 40 that is the maximum gradient in the lower section of KVR005.
- ii) The second section is the pilgrim section, 130 kilometers long from Chakki Bridge (elevation 398.780 meters) to Baijnath Paprola (elevation 979.750 meters). Significant locations and structures along this route include inter-alia the railway stations, Reyond Khad bridge, Bathu Khad bridge, both the tunnels of KVR005 (Dhundi tunnel and Daulatpur tunnel) and the heritage bunglow at Palampur. Kangra is around midway along the KVR005. The KVR005 passes just away from Kangra town separated by a gigantic cleft in the hills at the bottom of which runs the picturesque Ban Ganga River and provides spectacular views of the ruins of the historic Rajput Fort. Onwards along KVR005, approaching Palampur, the ever present background of snowy peaks (about 5000m high and about 15 kilometres away) run parallel. The spectacularly beautiful area around Kangra & Palampur is famous for very significant Hindu pilgrimage temples (attracting millions of pilgrims each year), Tibetan monastery of Dalai Lama, Tea gardens and numerous popular locations. The best access to this beautiful area is provided by the KVR005.
- iii) The third section is 22 kilometres long, from Baijnath Paprola (elevation 979.750 meters) to the end of the line i.e. Joginder Nagar station (elevation 1184.160 m). Ajhu station is about midway and is the highest point of the line (elevation 1290.230 m). Significant locations and structures along this route include inter-alia the railway stations and flume bridges. Here, the KVR005 threads its way among the pines of the Bhir gorge and the journey in wilderness in far superior to the journey by road.
Trains on KVR005 run efficiently offering an enchanting ride with the backdrop of the Dhauladhar Mountains on one side, lush green fields on the other side, tea gardens, and significant pilgrimage centers; for the benefit of the tourists as well as the local communities and offer a rich and scenic expanse of the spectacular Himalayan Mountains.
Justification of Outstanding Universal Value
The KVR005 is an early, and still an outstanding, example of a hill passenger railway. Opened in 1926, it applied bold and ingenious engineering solutions, to the problem of establishing an effective rail link across a mountainous terrain of great beauty and also, it is still fully operational as a living example of the engineering enterprise of the 19th century.
As an example of an interchange of human values, the KVR005 is part of that stage of globalisation, which was characterized by colonial rule. The KVR005 is a spectacular example of technology transfer (although not a unique one) of that stage. The coming of the KVR005 resulted in development of transport in that area which otherwise was used on foot or with animal transport (virtually no access). Indeed, one of the interesting effects of the Railway has been the way it has contributed to the creation of a cultural corridor made by human intervention. The technological and social interchange is also evident through the application of steam engine technology. It is an outstanding and possibly the longest surviving heritage railways in the world - over 100 miles long.
As an outstanding example of a technological ensemble illustrating a significant stage in human history, this Railway is a unique example of the construction genius employed by Railway engineers of the 19th century. Today, the KVR005 stands out as a heritage symbol of the region. As an ensemble with its impeccably maintained track, its elegant original stations and its old rolling stock; it is genuinely outstanding and unique type of a 19th century development that is preserved over time. Thus, it is clearly and spectacularly illustrative of a significant stage in human history that saw pioneering rail construction and its extension for socio-economic development in a mountainous region.
Also, the KVR005 has been constructed with great technical skill in harmony with the beauty, serenity and grandeur of the surroundings and also; led to the social, cultural and economic creation and development of the settlement of Kangra Valley. The KVR005 is one of the best preserved heritage Railways in the world and remains much as it was at the time of its completion in: stations, signals, rural environment. Such railways are rare and it deserves conservation and global recognition of its qualities.
Statements of authenticity and/or integrity
This railway is a surviving example of the engineering enterprise of the 19th century. The KVR005 retains its original features of 1926 when the line was opened. It is also noteworthy that this line besides being a tourist attraction is also a regular mode of transport for pilgrims and the neighbouring communities. Maintenance standards on the KVR005 are good, as the railway is used fairly intensively but no more intensely than it was designed to be used. The stations are being well maintained as in the original construction and are still in use. They are pretty structures constructed like cottages. They have thin walls, wooden trusses, decorated sloping roofs, large verandahs, wooden pillars, simple & elegant looking and with flowering trees / shrubs around. These have been conserved in the same style. The locomotives and rolling stock are old and of heritage value. The signaling system is original of 1926. The KVR005 once used locomotives from the KSR003 and one steam locomotive (ZB-66) has been restored and is operational for chartered tourist train operation.
There is a lot of old equipment on the line for it to have much the same ambience as it did in the beginning. Rod operated switches for tracks, kerosene lamps, token instruments are still maintained on the KVR005.
The Ministry of Railways, Government of India and the Northern Railway administration, place great emphasis on the preservation of this entire railway system including the line, rolling stock and all associated buildings in their original shape to the extent possible. The countryside served by the Railway also retains the charm that over time. The natives look upon the Railway as a friendly symbol of the mountains rather than as a harbinger of change. Overall, the KVR005 is authentic and well preserved. It has always been a working railway and as always, it plays an important economic and social role serving the people of the district through which it runs. It also has the necessary legal / management protection.
Comparison with other similar properties
Mountain Railways in India began with the DHR001 in 1881, NMR002 in 1899, KSR003 in 1903 and the MLR004 in 1907. KVR005 followed and its construction began in 1926. These railways are all living example of the engineering enterprise of the 19th century. These railways were constructed with significant engineering at a very early stage of railway development and overcame the challenges of the steep terrain in distinct innovative ways; to provide access and socio-economic development in the mountains. The DHR001 used zig-zags & spirals, the NMR002 used rack & pinion, the KSR003 used very heavy engineering with significant and numerous roman multi-arch aqueducts & tunnels, the MLR004 used floating axles (special design of articulated wheels and axles to negotiate the sharp curves and take misalignments) to negotiate the sharp curves and the KVR005 came last based upon the successes earlier to become the longest of the lot. They provide spectacular panoramic views to travellers. These are all outstanding examples of the earliest hill passenger railways constructed one after the other that are fully operational with most of their original features intact; as tourist attractions as well as a regular mode of transport for the local population. Following the inscription of the DHR001, inscription of the NMR002 and inscription of the KSR003; application already made for MLR004; KVR005 is proposed as a World Heritage Site as an extension to Mountain Railways of India.
Internationally too the KVR005 is unique and an immensely long heritage railway. The Narrow Gauge Heritage Railways of the world date back to 1850. These are of short lengths (average length is less than 10 kilometres as compared to about over 160 kilometres in KVR005). Most of the narrow gauge railways, were earlier used to transport freight and passengers but were later abandoned and restarted as heritage railways that have become tourist attractions. However, the KVR005 was built for transport of construction material and then patronised by passengers to create a new mountain settlement for tourism and has been in continuous service as such from its inception, now for over 80 years. Also, the closure and subsequent re-emergence of the old railways in Europe as heritage / tourist railways has resulted in loss of authenticity (railways have been converted to modern railways) whereas the KVR005 has remained almost original while continuing to remain in service with minimal change. Added to this, the KVR005 is not only a major tourist attraction, but is also one of the main means of transportation and pilgrimage.

Accompanied by his photographer and his personal assistant, Li Yang stepped into a Beijing classroom and shouted, "Hello, everyone!" The students applauded. Li, the founder, head teacher, and editor-in-chief of Li Yang Crazy English, wore a dove-gray turtleneck and a black car coat. His hair was set off by a faint silver streak. It was January, and Day Five of China's first official English-language intensive-training camp for volunteers to the 2008 Summer Olympics, and Li was making the rounds. The classes were part of a campaign that is more ambitious than anything previous Olympic host cities have attempted. China intends to teach itself as much English as possible by the time the guests arrive, and Li has been brought in by the Beijing Organizing Committee to make that happen. He is China's Elvis of English, perhaps the world's only language teacher known to bring students to tears of excitement. He has built an empire out of his country's deepening devotion to a language it once derided as the tongue of barbarians and capitalists. His philosophy, captured by one of his many slogans, is flamboyantly patriotic: "Conquer English to Make China Stronger!"
Li peered at the students and called them to their feet. They were doctors in their thirties and forties, handpicked by the city's hospitals to work at the Games. If foreign fans and coaches get sick, these are the doctors they will see. But, like millions of English learners in China, the doctors have little confidence speaking this language that they have spent years studying by textbook. Li, who is thirty-eight, has made his name on an E.S.L. technique that one Chinese newspaper called English as a Shouted Language. Shouting, Li argues, is the way to unleash your "international muscles." Shouting is the foreign-language secret that just might change your life.
Li stood before the students, his right arm raised in the manner of a tent revivalist, and launched them into English at the top of their lungs. "I!" he thundered. "I!" they thundered back.
"Tem! Per! Ture!"
"Tem! Per! Ture!"
One by one, the doctors tried it out. "I would like to take your temperature!" a woman in stylish black glasses yelled, followed by a man in a military uniform. As Li went around the room, each voice sounded a bit more confident than the one before. (How a patient might react to such bluster was anyone's guess.)
To his fans, Li is less a language teacher than a testament to the promise of self-transformation. In the two decades since he began teaching, at age nineteen, he has appeared before millions of Chinese adults and children. He routinely teaches in arenas, to classes of ten thousand people or more. Some fans travel for days to see him. The most ardent spring for a "diamond degree" ticket, which includes bonus small-group sessions with Li. The list price for those seats is two hundred and fifty dollars a day—more than a full month's wages for the average Chinese worker. His students throng him for autographs. On occasion, they send love letters.
There is another widespread view of Li's work that is not so flattering. "The jury is still out on whether he actually helps people learn English," Bob Adamson, an English-language specialist at the Hong Kong Institute of Education, said. The linguist Kingsley Bolton, an authority on English study in China, calls Li's approach "huckster nationalism." The most serious charge—one that in recent months has threatened to undo everything Li has built—holds that the frenzied crowds, and his exhortations, tap a malignant strain of populism that China has not permitted since the Cultural Revolution.
"I have seen this kind of agitation," Wang Shuo, one of China's most influential novelists, wrote in an essay on Li. "It's a kind of old witchcraft: Summon a big crowd of people, get them excited with words, and create a sense of power strong enough to topple mountains and overturn the seas."
Wang went on, "I believe that Li Yang loves the country. But act this way and your patriotism, I fear, will become the same shit as racism."
The global headquarters of Li Yang Crazy English holds about two hundred employees (another two hundred work nationwide) and sprawls across four floors of an office building in the southern city of Guangzhou. Li is rarely there. He likes hotels. Even in Beijing, where he shares an apartment with his wife and their two daughters, he often keeps a hotel room nearby so that he can work without distraction. (A third daughter from a previous marriage lives with her mother in Canada.)
For several days this winter, Li and his lieutenants were ensconced in the presidential suite on the top floor of Guangzhou's Ocean Hotel. The suite was furnished in a modern clubby style: a faux fireplace, white leather couches, a cavernous Jacuzzi, a large wooden model of a schooner. Fresh air was needed. Li had just wrapped up an annual marathon of meetings with managers from around the country, and a dozen young men and women were huddled, heavy-lidded, over laptops. He fiddled with the thermostat and threw open the curtains to reveal a view, from the twenty-sixth floor, of dun-colored apartment blocks and blue-glass high-rises twinkling in the sun.
He sat down on a couch and began explaining to me a list of new projects, including a retail plan that would create, in his words, the Starbucks of English education. "People would get off work and just go to the Crazy English Tongue Muscle Training House and then go back home," he said. "Just like a gym."

Building your own video server
We'll show you how to build your own Linux-based video server that records, stores, and distributes TV programs.
Video cassettes are becoming a thing of the past as movie buffs move to DVDs or hard disk recorders. Even these recent technologies pose space and convenience issues, so a do-it-yourself video server offers a handy alternative. Using the MythTV media center software, a TV card, and a decommissioned PC, you can quickly build a video server that serves up digital video in your home.
The system is based on a standard Linux PC, which will become a digital video recorder under the aegis of MythTV. The software uses the internal TV card to scan TV channels and store them on the internal hard disk. In contrast to hard disk recorders, the hard disk capacity is almost unlimited; if you start running out of space, you can add a disk or replace an existing one with a bigger model.

My New Favourite Player And Why The NHL Never Stops Amazing Me
It was something that was unbelievable, but at the same time, somewhat not surprising, given the type of people they are.
As many of you may-or may not-know, I am a committee member for a charity golf tournament held each summer in Strathroy, Ontario in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Â Last year we raised $5,000 in our first year of the tournament, and yesterday, June 5th, was the second annual event.
Eight months of hard planning, a delicate high wire act of balancing teams, sponsors, donations, and other variables that you undoubtedly run into along the way, and it was all coming together on this day.
And everything was aligning itself to be a special day.
The tournament is played in memory of my uncle, Shawn Wade, who passed away a few years ago as a result of complications of a stroke. Â Among the many ways you could describe him, all of them positive, he was also a huge hockey fan. Â Having played competitively when he was younger, my uncle attached himself to the Detroit Red Wings, amazed by Gordie Howe and his skill and dogged determination.
He followed the Red Wings throughout his whole life, and when he met and eventually married my aunt, Mary, the two took great pride and enjoyment in frequenting "The Joe" and cheering on the famed Winged Wheel. Â And cheer they did.
They attended games live, and lived and breathed Wings hockey throughout their time together. Â A past time of faith which was rewarded to the tune of a few Stanley Cups along the way.
With the tournament about two weeks away, we had an idea, which in hindsight looked completely out to lunch.

Don't give up now, like so many of the GBs that reached 1M and 2M, then retired! Only 2,314 GBs have continued and made it to 2M, so there is room for you there also, and persistence and dedication will get you to the 3M and 4M mark! Keep going like a PRO Michigan GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks buddy! Ron
