Common Core State Standard
SL.CCS.1/2/3/4 Grades 6-12: An essay of a current news event is provided for discussion to encourage participation, but also inspire the use of evidence to support logical claims using the main ideas of the article. Students must analyze background information provided about a current event within the news, draw out the main ideas and key details, and review different opinions on the issue. Then, students should present their own claims using facts and analysis for support.
Wireless company name change shows importance of 'branding'
Now that students know about a few examples of branding, they can see that marketing approach all around us. Have them flip through any sections of the paper to find advertising images, headlines and slogans that reinforce a brand identity. Which work well and which don't?
Newspapers position themselves to stand out among information and entertainment sources. Challenge students to list three words that describe this paper's marketplace image and then discuss how news coverage, editorials, page design, photos, section names, contests, the web site and the Page One nameplate ("flag") all help shape its brand image.
Some brand images in the paper belong to celebrities. Engage the class' attention by asking for singers, actors, musicians or other pop culture figures with positive and negative "brand identities" -- and the reasons why.
A leading communication company, AT&T, is in the final push of a sweeping identity makeover as it officially changes the name of 1,800 retail stores from Cingular to AT&T. The campaign, using print and TV ads nationwide, is one of the biggest blitzes of this type in marketing history and is an example of something called "re-branding."
AT&T, with initials dating back to the 19th century birth of the American Telephone & Telegraph Co., has an "old school" image as a business that was around in your great-grandfather's day. Now it wants a single brand name to identify it as a one-stop shop for all kinds of communications and entertainment services, including long-distance and local phone service, wireless, television and high-speed Internet. It's the only carrier providing service for Apple's iPhone, which it starts selling in June.
Cingular's name phase-out began in January after AT&T completed its purchase of that wireless giant. The orange logo and Cingular name will disappear from new devices being sold, as well as from all other uses.
Old and new: AT&T was founded in 1885 and was split into regional phone companies by a federal court in 2005 because of monopoly concerns. It's now the largest U..S. provider of local and long distance phone services, wireless service and DSL Internet access. Cingular was born in 2001 and became the nation's largest wireless provider with 62 million phones.
AT&T says: "AT&T is contemporary and progressive. . . The excitement around the iPhone launch is like nothing any of us have witnessed before." – Wendy Clark, vice president for advertising
Marketing executive says: "The secret to a great brand is: Stand for something. Defend that turf at all costs. But leave the rest of the territory to someone else. The reason brands fail is that they, like presidential candidates, try to appeal to everyone." -- David Heitman, president of The Creative Alliance, a branding and public relations firm in Colorado

Has anyone been to Le Pont de Brent recently?
We'll be spending a long weekend in Geneva and Montreux, and we'd like to have one fancy dinner while there. I came across some info for Le Pont de Brent and saw that it currently has 2-michelin stars, and the tripadvisor reviews give it some nice marks.
How far is it from the town of Montreux and is it accessible if we won't have a car?
Anyone been recently that would care to share a review?

One-Winged Angel by AstroChanWatch
©2007-2016 AstroChan
I rarely rework my drawings, but I wanted to try another version of the one-winged angel because I liked the pose and intricate feathers.
This weirds me out because the top portion of feather texture reminds me of blisters :-/ Which I think crucially informs my experience of this image...
wow man thats reallly good haha I love it
Oh yeah, Awesome! That would be a great tattoo too
I think this one is better compositionally than the original. A successful reworking!

Elihu (Job)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Elihu (Hebrew: אֱלִיהוּא 'Ělîhū) is a man in the Hebrew Bible's Book of Job. He is said to have descended from Buz who may be from the line of Abraham (Genesis 22:20-21 mentions Buz as a nephew of Abraham).
Synopsis of Elihu's Monologues[edit]
He is mentioned late in the text, Chapter 32, and opens his discourse with more modesty than displayed by the other antagonists. Elihu differs from the other antagonists in that his monologues discuss divine providence, which he insists are full of wisdom and mercy, that the righteous have their share of prosperity in this life, no less than the wicked, that God is supreme and that it becomes us to acknowledge and submit to that supremacy since "the Creator wisely rules the world he made". He draws instances of benignity from, for example, the constant wonders of creation and of the seasons. Chapters 32 through 37 of the Book of Job consist entirely of Elihu's speech to Job. He is never mentioned again after the end of this speech.
Possible pseudonymity of the character[edit]
The speeches of Elihu (who is not mentioned in the prologue) contradict the fundamental opinions expressed by the 'friendly accusers' in the central body of the text, that it is impossible that the righteous should suffer, all pain being a punishment for some sin. Elihu states that suffering may be decreed for the righteous as a protection against greater sin, for moral betterment and warning, and to elicit greater trust and dependence on a merciful, compassionate God in the midst of adversity.
Some question the status of Elihu's interruption and didactic sermon because of his sudden appearance and disappearance from the text.[1] Even scholars who regard the book of Job as a literary composition by a single author tend to see in Elihu's speeches an early addition or commentary to the original book. He is not mentioned in Job 2:11, in which Job's friends are introduced, nor is he mentioned at all in the epilogue, 42:7-10, in which God expresses anger at Job's friends, he does not say anything that is not said more succinctly by the three original friends or by God, and his speech contains more Aramaisms than the rest of the book.[2] But Elihu's preface in chapter 32 indicates that he has been listening intently to the conversation between Job and the other three men. He also admits his status as one who is not an elder (32:6-7.) As Elihu's monologue reveals, his anger against the three older men was so strong he could not contain himself (32:2-4.)

Dude, the part where it changed from a softer song to a harder song was brilliant. It felt like a smooth transition, which I know is hard to pull off. (honestly, I don't think I ever have done a good transition in any of my music.)
10/10 5/5
lol thx for the nice review!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I recieved your PM, thanks for the notice. I love the beats in this song, it sounds a bit Happy Hardcore which is one of my favorite genres of Electronica. The Dance beats are great and the fast and slow mixes well. Around 3:25, I think I hear some clapping, that adds a great effect to the song too.
This song is really just some hardcore dance music.
The beginning does remind me of "Forever" though. Great job! :D
yeh i love that clapping, as a buildup to the maintheme :D
glad u like it too! thx!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Great Work
It starts slow, then it picks up. You sir, are a genius with slow dance music. I'm happy to listen to this, and this is inspiring me a little to freaking get FL7. Loved the part where it kind of sounded someone was screaming "Ya!". Also out of all the 3 songs I've heard, your is the longest, and I do appreciate when someone makes a long song.
Nice work!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
You must've worked on this forever. Makes me feel like im in a club! Great Beats


text: Posted March 27, 2013 Unless Lane Johnson falls to the Panther's pick, OL isn't an option in the first round at all. The only DT I'd think about taking at 14 is Star. The other BPA would be DE's, 3-4 LB's and such. So the BPA for the Panther's system and needs is a WR. Patterson has gotten hype since before the season ended as he was told by the Draft advisory he'd be the top WR in this class and next years. CB is much deeper imo then DT for the second round and Taylor is a borderline 1st.top of the second round guy with excellent - elite speed and athleticism that fits Carolina's scheme perfectly. As for the DT, Hughes is a 2nd round talent guy with character concerns. Maybe even a borderline first rounder just based on talent. As for the Lester pick, it's a BPA type of approach coupled with his upside and him being a potential starter - it's a good risk in the 5th. You said this in another thread. You do know that Marqise Lee and Sammy Watkins are coming out next year??? Who said that Patterson would be better then them and both are considered top 5 and top 10 picks now?

I've told most of these here before, so I'll be brief.
- ~30 years ago in Harvard Square, PRC (MA). Sat down in the restaurant before removing my coat (wore holster SOB). Got up and went to put the jacket on, didn't realize that the entire wall behind me was mirrored! Waiters and bartender were acting very antsy . . . i realized that I was outed and we left before anything happened.
- Town Meeting at the High School auditorium. I got up to speak and heard many gasps behind me. Realized that the light jacket I was wearing rode up over the butt of my gun (SOB holster again). Chuckled to myself since if anyone said anything to any of the officers present they would have been told 'he's one of us".
- I've had a few "clatter" on men's room floor incidents with these same cheap leather IWB holsters (the ones that fit almost any gun . . . equally badly)! Each time I retrieved it, no harm no foul. Now I'm a lot smarter and pay real money for real holsters which won't just drop a gun on me.
Another SOB holster story. I "met" an experienced female shooter from VA on a MA focused eList many years ago. She took a sabbatical from the VA college she taught at and came up to the Boston area to teach for a semester. We arranged to meet for some range time a couple of times. Afterwards we went out for lunch at the local Chinese restaurant. All of a sudden she tells me "oh, oh" her holster came off, so she carefully made her way to the ladies' room to fix it. Also a SOB holster!
If you buy good quality holsters, customized for the gun and a good gun belt, you won't have these problems!!

Aims In Brazil, a new law introduced in 2008 has lowered the blood alcohol concentration limit for drivers from 0.06 to 0.02, but the effectiveness in reducing traffic accidents remains uncertain. This study evaluated the effects of this enactment on road traffic injuries and fatalities.
Design Time–series analysis using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) modelling.
Setting State and capital of São Paulo, Brazil.
Participants A total of 1 471 087 non-fatal and 51 561 fatal road traffic accident cases in both regions.
Measurements Monthly rates of traffic injuries and fatalities per 100 000 inhabitants from January 2001 to June 2010.
Findings The new traffic law was responsible for significant reductions in traffic injury and fatality rates in both localities (P < 0.05). A stronger effect was observed for traffic fatality (−7.2 and −16.0% in the average monthly rate in the State and capital, respectively) compared to traffic injury rates (−1.8 and −2.3% in the State and capital, respectively).
Conclusions Lowering the blood alcohol concentration limit in Brazil had a greater impact on traffic fatalities than injuries, with a higher effect in the capital, where presumably the police enforcement was enhanced.

Prospective college students fear proposed aid cuts in California
LOS ANGELES — Were it not for the financial aid that helps cover the cost of his tuition, it is unlikely that Devonte Jackson would be able to attend the University of California, Berkeley.
The political science major has two campus jobs, but his $12,000 state-paid Cal Grant is the glue that holds his education dreams together. Tuition, books, housing and other fees top $31,000 annually.
But Cal Grants could become much harder to obtain for new students under restrictions proposed by Gov. Jerry Brown as part of his 2012-13 budget. One of the most contentious of them would increase the minimum grade point average needed to qualify for the two types of awards, which are merit- and income-based and are a key part of the financial aid package for many low- and middle-income students.
Cal Grant "A" currently covers tuition up to $5,472 at Cal State universities, up to $12,192 at the University of California and up to $9,708 toward tuition and fees at private colleges. Cal Grant "B," for students with lower incomes, provides $1,551 for books, living expenses and tuition assistance, typically for students attending community colleges.
Brown is proposing to increase the minimum GPA requirement for Cal Grant "A" recipients from 3.0 to 3.25 and for Cal Grant "B" from 2.0 to 2.75. The requirements for community college transfers to qualify for the grants would jump from 2.4 to 2.75.
Brown is also proposing to lower the award amount for students attending private, nonprofit schools to the CSU level, which critics say could dramatically reduce opportunities for low-income students who are accepted to private schools such as USC. If more of these students opted instead for public schools, state expenses could increase because California would pay more to subsidize them.
About 26,600 prospective University of California, California State and community college students would be affected by the changes in grade point averages in the 2012-13 academic year. Because the deadline for financial aid applications is March 2 and the state budget is unlikely to be finalized before summer, many students could be awarded provisional grants, only to have them canceled. Many students could still qualify for federal aid.
Brown's budget faces revision in the spring, but at Garfield High School in East Los Angeles educators are concerned for the 600 seniors expected to graduate.
"The majority of our kids are on the cusp of 3.0 or 2.7," said acting head counselor Carlo Marquez. "Where are they going to get the money? Many are going to have to work, and the pattern is once they start working, they're offered more hours and they forget about school. It's tough at a time when we're trying to get them to see the big picture and continue their education."
The governor argues that in a climate of fiscal constraints, financial aid should go to students most likely to complete their degrees — those with higher grades.
Participation in the Cal Grant program and its costs have increased dramatically, from 177,000 students and $688 million in 2004 to an estimated 256,000 students and $1.6 billion in the current fiscal year, according to state figures. Increasing the GPA requirements would save an estimated $131 million.
"Policy decisions are always going to be intertwined with the budget, and in this area the administration believes that raising the bar for Cal Grants is a good choice from a fiscal and policy perspective," said H.D. Palmer, spokesman for the state Department of Finance.
The Legislative Analyst's Office last week said that raising the GPA for Cal Grant "B" recipients might be warranted, but noted that raising the bar above 3.0 for others could affect large numbers of academically well-qualified students with low incomes.

Thunder sold to Belgium-based ownership group
Fantastic, unexpected news surfaced at yesterday's tailgate prior to the Minnesota Thunder's final game of the season. The team's director of soccer operations,Manny Lagos
, dropped by with a couple of mysterious gentleman in sportcoats who were introduced as the club's new ownership group. I arrived immediately after their talk, and failed to chase them down after the game, but here's what was gleaned:
1. They are based in Belgium.
2. One of the gentleman is originally from St. Paul; the other is originally from the Netherlands
3. They intend to invest serious money in the franchise with the hope of one day joining Major League Soccer
4. They promise to build a soccer specific stadium for the club within two years
Expect some kind of official announcement about this phenomenal news, including where the club will play next season, around the end of the month.
And oh yeah: the Thunder lost, again, 1-0. Final record: 5-12-11, one point worse than last year's campaign.

With the Monday afternoon touchdown of a Delta CRJ-200 the Chippewa County International Airport officially completed the $3.5 million runway resurfacing project.
"This is exciting," said Linda Hoath of the Sault Area Convention and Visitors' Bureau while waiting for the jet to arrive. "Because of all the international marketing we've been doing, the airport is extremely important to us."
Chairman Don McLean of the Chippewa County Economic Development Corporation said it was definitely time for an improvement.
"We could never do it (on our own)," said McLean of the large price tag associated with the work. "It was necessary due to the age, and the federal government recognizes the importance of maintaining these airports."
McLean also pointed out a variety of improvements inside the terminal that were done in conjunction with the runway renovation. With the airport effectively closed down for three weeks while the new asphalt was put in place, it was the perfect time to scrub floors, replace light bulbs with more energy efficient models, and make other minor alterations including new doors.
"Our staff did an excellent job," said McLean.
Executive Director Tom Ewing of the Chippewa County EDC said a passenger on the first incoming flight and one on the first outgoing flight were provided with a $100 voucher as part of the day's celebration.
Airport Manager Tami Beseau confirmed the Chippewa County International Airport serves more than 20,000 passengers a year and there has been a steady increase in traffic from the facility. Currently, the Delta Jet carries up to 50 passengers in and out of Detroit with a flight time of 55 minutes.

The New Basic Black: Home Training for Modern Times (Hardcover)
A newly revised modern manual of manners and etiquette that has become an African American classic.
Unlike the more traditional etiquette books that many African Americans may find stodgy, off-putting, and culturally alien, "The New Basic Black "is for real people who live real lives and it addresses many of the issues of a growing black middle class. Straightforward, user-friendly, and illustrated with line drawings, "The New Basic Black" includes all the information any well-mannered person would want to know about the social rites of passage (marriage, birth, christening, death), the corporate workplace (standard work issues and the more delicate issue of race and its impact on a work environment), various occasions (having guests or being a guest at a summer home, etc.), and everyday rules and rituals that make living in hectic times a little easier. The revised edition of "The New Basic Black "also contains the intricacies of Internet etiquette, tips for travel in the post-9/11 age, and a wealth of other invaluable information that will make life more comfortable.
For singles and families alike, "The New Basic Black "takes the mystery out of conventional etiquette and will arm the reader with confidence in any situation.
About the Author
Karen Grigsby Bates is a Los Angeles-based correspondent for NPR News, the author of the Alex Powell mystery series, and co-author, wih Karen Elyse Hudson, of the best-selling etiquette book "Basic Black: Home Training For Modern Times". She and her husband, photographer Bruce W. Talamon, are the parents of a college-aged son.
Praise For…
"Covering such situations as how to handle yourself in a restaurant where you've received unacceptable treatment, common courtesies to be shown to household help and how to respond to racial harassment at work, Bates and Hudson offer a guide that will be of benefit to men and women, singles and families." —Publishers Weekly
"Full of information about appropriate behavior at soirees of various sorts, from simple cocktail parties to formal dinners, and about how to plan parties, weddings, even tea parties, Bates and Hudson's advice also includes less obvious subjects such as maintaining family and community ties, taking pride in one's heritage, and coping with racial incidents at work. After an overview of basic rules, the authors cover communicating; life lessons; "Dating, Mating, and Begetting" ; planning events; and life milestones, closing with a Q & A section, dos and don'ts, a glossary, and a request for reader feedback. Each subject is discussed briefly and entertainingly, with solid common sense. A useful compendium." —Booklist
"Hallelujah and amen for Basic Black! This engagingly written guide to the social behavior of our times is charming, wise, and truly quite helpful." —Shirlee Taylor Haizlip, author of The Sweeter the Juice
"Basic Black: Home Training for Modern Times…reminds us of the importance of grace." —Benilde Little, author of Good Hair

By the way, there's a race, too.
If you can manage to put down that mint julep for 120 seconds and fix your eyes on the TV screen, you're in for one of the greatest spectacles in all of sports.
Only a few thousand people attended the first Kentucky Derby in 1875, but now hundreds of thousands cram the infield and the rickety grandstand at Churchill Downs in Louisville for the big race, where fans sing a cleaned-up version of Stephen Fosters "My Old Kentucky Home" as the horses jog out to the starting gate.
Befitting its international renown, the Derby typically draws a field of nearly two dozen 3-year-olds — and as they leap from the starting gate, the track looks more like a Wild West stampede than one of the most important races on the circuit.
The horse that jumps to the lead by the first turn automatically becomes the bar crowd favorite, but only rarely in thoroughbred racing does a horse go wire-to-wire. How will you know if it's likely to happen? When you're watching on TV, little numbers periodically show up in the top corner of the screen to indicate the split time of the leader. If the number is less than :24 after the first quarter-mile, or less than :47 at the half-mile pole, the front-runner will fade.
And as the field turns for home, if the leader's split time is less than 1:36, he's done.
Handicapping the field is always a nightmare at the Derby — mostly because the sheer size of the field has encouraged longshots over the years. But here are a few rules:
1. Never count out the New York horse: Though no New Yorker has won the Derby since Funny Cide in 2003, this year's Empire State favorite, Eskendereya, is coming off a big win in our own Wood Memorial, New York's main Derby tuneup. He'll likely be the favorite.
2. Who knows what to make of the California horses?: Horses that take the West Coast route to the Derby are no longer predictable, as their Derby tuneups are run on synthetic tracks. You never know how those colts and fillies will run on the comparative beach at Churchill Downs.
3. The Calvin factor: Jockey Calvin Borel has won two of the last three Derbies, last year on Mine That Bird, one of the longest shots to ever win the Run for the Roses. A $2 bet paid $103.20.
4. Bet on Todd Pletcher: Trainer Todd Pletcher, who worked under four-time Derby-winning trainer D. Wayne Lukas, will have at least three horses, though as many as six, at the starting gate. He's a hot trainer right now, so don't count him out.
But whatever you do, put down $2 on someone. At the Derby, you never know.

Police in Myanmar confirmed on Tuesday that a blast at a luxury hotel in Yangon that wounded a US guest was caused by a bomb.
"It was a time bomb. It was attached to a clock," said a police official who visited the scene of the explosion, which happened late on Monday at the Traders Hotel.
Officials said they had detained a man who previously stayed in the hotel room where the blast occurred for questioning.
"The man who stayed there before the American family at the Traders Hotel was arrested as a suspect," a second police official said.
He said the man was arrested early Tuesday in the southeastern state of Mon.
"But it's still early to say he planted the bomb without further investigation," the official added.
Two other suspects have been detained for questioning in connection with an earlier series of unexplained explosions, he said.
A man and a woman were killed and another person injured in an explosion Friday at a guesthouse in the town of Taunggu, about 65 kilometres (40 miles) from the capital Naypyidaw, police said.
Two other devices exploded in Yangon on Sunday -- one at a bus stop and another under a truck, which wounded two teenagers, according to authorities.
Two more makeshift devices were found in the cities of Yangon and Mandalay on Monday.
Authorities said the recent incidents could be aimed at derailing the country's pro-democratic reforms as it prepares to host a major regional sporting event in December and take the chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) next year.

Write Korean words to translate it in English
I found this site Multi Language Virtual Keyboard
its useful site to translate those korean words by typing korean letters then copy the letters/words and paste it in any translation website you want.
its simple..
1st) in the keyboard(input) select Korean
2nd) ofcourse highlight those words inside the box and delete it and start typing.
3rd) example if you saw a word like 한 the arrangement is 1st letter=left, 2nd letter=right, 3rd letter=bottom. like this ᄒ,ᅡ,ᄂ type it without the comma. if you saw a word like 글 the arrangement is 1st letter=top, 2nd letter=middle, 3rd letter= bottom. like this ᄀ,ᅳ,ᄅ type it without the comma. if you saw a word like 흭 this time its a 4 letters combination. the arrangement is 1st letter=top, 2nd letter=middle, 3rd letter= right, 4th letter=bottom. like this ᄒ,ᅳ,ᅵ,ᄀ type it without the comma.(NOTE: after you type the 3letters or 4letters that you copy,hit spacebar so it wont combine to the 3 or 4 letter that you copy. then hit backspace and type the next word that you want to copy.
4th)copy the whole words that you type and paste it on the website translation that you like.
hope this guide helps and this is my best way of explaining it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Biological and Chemical Agents
In this article
What are the differences between biological and chemical weapons?
The differences between biological and chemical weapons lie in their makeup, dissemination, and effects.
Biological Agents
Chemical Agents
Natural origin
Difficult, costly, small-scale production
Large-scale, cheaper, industrial production
Odorless and tasteless
Noticeable odor or taste
Disseminated as aerosols in air or in water or food
Disseminated as aerosols or liquids
Don't penetrate skin
Can penetrate skin
Delayed onset of physical effects
Relatively immediate physical effects
Crisis measured in weeks, months
Crisis measured in hours, days
Delayed response that would build
Immediate, large response
Do chemical agents have any legitimate, practical uses?
Chemicals that are closely related to chemical weapons do have legitimate uses. Some nerve agents, for example, are similar to some insecticides and to medications that treat the disease myasthenia gravis. A byproduct of sulfur mustard is a long-time cancer chemotherapy drug. Chlorine and phosgene are also common industrial compounds.
Are chemical weapons allowed to be used in war?
The 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention bans the use, production, stockpiling, or acquisition of chemical weapons, requires the elimination of current stockpiles, and allows verification inspections. The United States and 148 other countries have agreed to the treaty.
Are biological agents allowed to be used in war?
The 1972 Biological and Toxins Weapons Convention bans the use, production, stockpiling, or acquisition of biological weapons. It does allow research with agents for vaccines or defensive purposes. The treaty does not include formal verification, so its effectiveness is limited. The United States and 161 other countries have agreed to it.
Should I have my own supply of antibiotics in case I'm exposed to biological weapons?
Antibiotics are prescription drugs that should be taken only under a doctor's advice. No one antibiotic can protect against all types of biological weapons -- or against all diseases. And holding on to antibiotics isn't a good idea because they'll expire eventually and become ineffective.
Should I have a gas mask to protect myself against chemical and biological weapons?
Gas masks do not provide protection unless you are wearing one at the exact moment of an attack with chemical or biological weapons. It's obviously impractical to wear a gas mask all the time. Besides, to work effectively, masks must be fitted to the wearer, who must be trained how to use them -- such as members of the military. Gas masks available for retail sale aren't guaranteed to work. There's also the possibility of accidental suffocation from wearing a mask incorrectly.

Achieving Compliance when Legal Sanctions are Non-deterrent
Law backed by non-deterrent sanctions (mild law) has been hypothesized to achieve compliance because of norm activation. We experimentally investigate the effects of mild law in the provision of public goods by comparing it to severe law (deterrent sanctions) and no law. The results show that exogenously imposing mild law does not achieve compliance, but compliance is much improved if mild law is endogenously chosen, i.e., self-imposed. We show that voting for mild law induces expectations of cooperation, and that people tend to comply with the law if they expect many others to do so.
