More than 100 airline passengers have already left Omaha after their plane made an uneventful emergency landing on Christmas Day.
Southwest Airlines spokesman Paul Flaningan says a fuel valve problem prompted the crew of Flight 2879 to declare an emergency. The Boeing 737 was diverted to Omaha's Eppley Airfield and landed around 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Flaningan says the plane landed without incident. It was carrying 109 passengers and five crew members from Denver to Kansas City International Airport.
He says the passengers boarded another plane and arrived in Kansas City, Mo., about two hours later than their original schedule.

One of my family's all time favorite salmon recipes!
This was so delicious! I was so impressed. I couldn't find the vinaigrette so I used their Roasted Red Pepper salad dressing and mmmmm it was so delicious. I only wish I would of made more :) Also, my spinach was a little dry but that was probably an error on my fault.

With slightly more body and snap than Red Sable, but softer than Hog Bristle, Eclipse brushes are ideal for subtle blending and fine glazing, as they show minimal brush strokes. They're also highly resilient and responsive, making them perfect for lightly thinned and "let down" oil color.
A double-bodied handle with a sculpted, balanced grip both at the tail and below the ferrule make them useful for both easel painting and "close in" work.

Let's See: 2 marathons, 2 1/2 marathons, 3-4 10K's, countless 5K's... am I a runner yet? LOL
January 2015 goal: Get back to running 3-4 days a week. I am starting slow... No injuries! Want to average 12 miles a week.

11/29/10: It's been a year? Still pushing, still fighting, still determined. Any goal worth your energy, will take time and dedication. NEVER GIVE UP! Count your blessings... look how far you've come! :-) There's more than one definition of success!

I am COMMITTED to losing this weight. When I am tired, I will remember my goals and how great I feel after I work out. I can sacrifice 45 mins to build my health and lose fat. I will give this my all for the next few months and yes I realize that this is a journey not a one-time thing. I love exercise and i know that if I give this my absolute all I WILL see results. For once, I am giving a 100% and I will not fear the disappointment of not succeeding. I will instead focus on the PRIDE, RESPECT, and pure ELATION I will feel when I finally reach my GOAL!
�There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.�
ARE you committed? *This is the question I plan to ask myself each time I re-think my need to go to the gym or eat within my caloric range :-)
1200-1600 calories

It's brand new and we're looking for members! I'd really like it to be a close-knit community and for us to encourage each other and do monthly challenges! Link Below:
AND I have a community journal- so maybe you can read it if you have some time! :-)
** Writen 11/08: RE-committed 3/10: I am ready to be an After! I deserve to be successful. I deserve to feel confident and proud of how I look. To stop tugging on my shirts and feeling unattractive/floppy. To not take 30 mins staring into a closet FULL of clothes feeling like there is nothing to wear. To FINALLY free my mind of my weight and focus on more important things like MED school or happiness or saving the world... anything but 'how do I look in this'. Don't get me wrong, I am more than functional and I am happy with my life for the most part.. but this is an area I would like to change and I have the POWER to do so... so I'm going to do so! For so long I've tried to tell myself that wanting to be a certain size was shallow and that I should be happy with who I am, where I am RIGHT now... and while I know this is true... I am only fooling myself and wasting my time trying to be happy with something that I CAN fix. And believe me I've tried... and I only end up depressed until I decide to just fix it. So... no more excuses. I DESERVE this. And hopefully it doesn't make me shallow. But if it does... LOOK OUT world... Here I come, Young, fit, sexy, intelligent, and shallow... if need be! lol..
I've been on Spark almost a year now. This has been a wonderful journey. I have learned more about myself throughout the last year. I didn't use my spark page much for most of the first year [tried other fitness/eating plans] but NOW I am loving spark people more and more and as I follow the Spark plan more closely I expect to reach my goal THIS YEAR! :-) Fine in 09!
- or maybe I should have said More Fine in 09! lol.
Accomplishments so far:2 MARATHONS, 2-1/2 marathons, many 10Ks, and 5Ks...
2005 &2007: Half Marathons

I borrowed these, but I love them!
"You will achieve your grand dream, a day at a time, so set goals for each day / not long and difficult projects, but chores that will take you, step by step, toward your rainbow. Write them down, if you must, but limit your list so that you won't have to drag today's undone matters into tomorrow. Remember that you cannot build your pyramid in twenty-four hours. Be patient. Never allow your day to become so cluttered that you neglect your most important goal / to do the best you can, enjoy this day, and rest satisfied with what you have accomplished." - Og Mandino
I will leave you with this. Every person who has made a change in their life remembers a specific point in time where something just clicked and they knew this was the moment to change. This is that moment for each of us. Now - today - is the day for change. Forget what happened yesterday and focus on the daily changes you can make that will bring you closer to your goal. If you are thinking, "Well, it is too late, I am too old or too overweight" I want each of you to remember this - post it somewhere you can see it daily -
"It is NEVER too late to become what you might have been!" - George Eliot
I am a 23 year old young woman who is finally ready to reach my goal weight at all costs (except, unhealthy ones, of course... lol). I used to maintain my weight between 133-140 pounds throughout college- only 2 yrs ago. I have been a cheerleader since I was 4 years old. I started running my sophomore year in college and have been doing taebo since I was ~ 13.. :-) I was a taebo fanatic! I was never able to get into the 120's and I very rarely got too much higher than 143 or so... I remained active throughout my first semester of medical school, but began making more unhealthy food choices as I got busier and busier. I stopped cooking at home because I hated my apartment and ate fastfood all the time because it was easier. I have fought to maintain my weight during medical school at 150 despite the unhealthy foods through exercise. So in all honesty, I have only gained about 10 pounds over all. but let me tell you... I feel so out of shape and none of my clothes fit. It has made me so discouraged and unwilling to put too much effort in trying to look super cute each day. I am young and in a field with high stress, but I deserve better. Instead of maintaining the 150's I am ready to first return to my usual 135-140 range and SURPASS that and get down to 115. I am ready to look at what I eat and how much. I have always loved working out and I do so fairly frequently, but I think the key to my success will be changing my eating habits, getting more organized, incorporating 'fitness' in any way and planning ahead!
I am a medical student and I am SUPER busy All the time. So My goal is to work as hard as possible, to remain as focused as possible and to accomplish my goal of losing 35 pounds to weigh 115. So join me on my journey to success. For the record: I have been working out consistently and at a high intensity since June '08 with very few results on the scale. (Previous to this I was working out 3-5 days a week at a med intensity. But my diet was terrible. Lots of fast food)
I have however seen some changes in the way my clothes fit-depending on the clothes, confidence, mood, and inches. So now I'm ready for the weight to melt off!
Please Join me on my journey! :-) And ADD ME as your Friend, if you want ;) !
Ultimate Goal= 115
VERY Satisfied Goal = 125 w/ muscle tone!
Satisfied=125-135 w/ muscle tone and flat stomach!
(A way to gauge my success/ Not set myself up for disappointment)
-- might seem lenient but my point is that the number on the scale is IMPORTANT for my health and to prevent health issues but the truth is NONE OF US walk around with our weights broadcasted on our clothes... how I LOOK AND FEEL at the weight will be the most important for me!
~*~ Clothes-o-meter/ Clothes size I wear as I lose weight~*~
8.17.10 (wearing mostly 10's pants/8 dresses) - [My size 10 pants-o-meter from Old Navy can fit all the way on, but I can not zip or button - took a picture, but won't post. LOL]
11.29.10 I feel like I don't even where REAL clothes anymore. I usually am home studying. BUT after my test Thursday I will re-asses and continue striving towards my goal! I wear mostly 10's. Depends on brand. Some 10's are just right, some are tight. I am aiming for loose 10's and then 8's!

GONABFIT's Random Tips for success:
*These are really to remind me of what I am going to do to succeed!!! *
1. There is more than one way to judge success- I have not lost much weight. I am not at my goal... yet! BUT you know what there is more than one way to judge success! If you isolate your goal to only the scale you are sooooo likely to give up when you don't see the changes you want. If it takes me two years to reach my goal, will victory be any less sweet!? NOT IN MY OPINION! I will enjoy my goal weight WHENEVER I get it. and I will continue to work hard.
2. Focus more on your blessings than your disappointments- If you focus on the good in your life you will likely stay encouraged to keep going. Nothing good comes from focusing on negative things. Live, Learn, and move on!
3. Every decision brings you closer to or further from your goals- There is no single event that will bring you to your ultimate goal... so I am going to focus on each choice. Sleeping 8 hours brings me closer, pulling an all nighter leads me further from my goals. you get the point... :-)
4. Fiber, Fiber, Fiber- How can you ever lose weight if you never.... um.... get rid of waste. Enough said. LOL. Oh and also fiber helps weight loss. 25-35 grams.
5. Water it... and it will grow! - LOL seriously I have recently been drinking as much water as possible. The more water you drink the less you will eat to satisfy what is actually thirst.
6. Eat when you are hungry. Stop when you are satisfied... NOT FULL- I followed this rule 2 years ago and I seriously lost weight because I was not eating just because it was there. If I got hungry in 2 hours I ate. If I got hungry in 4 hours and started eating and quickly got full... I stopped eating.
7. IT IS NOT THE LAST SUPPER!!! - Seriously, sometimes we must remind ourselves that if you get "satisfied" in the middle of a meal, it is ok to STOP EATING!!!! It will be there when you get hungry again. And if someone is stealing your food.... hide it! lol!
8. SLEEP- the last time I lost weight and was really healthy I slept 7-8 hours a night. When you sleep your cortisol lowers, less stress hormone, less belly fat. You've seen the commercials! LOL- oh and I've oversimplified this. but these are the "rules" I'm going to use. :-D
9. Cardio + weights + flexibility- I am going to exercise WHENEVER I can. If it's a few squats while I am studying so be it. If its a 5 mile run while listening to a lecture... GREAT! I will do my best and then let it go. No point in focusing on how much more you could have done. Do your best and be done!
10. Believe, Act, Receive, a.k.a. You've got to see it, before you see it or you never will SEE it! - If you have no goal or can't even imagine how you will acheive your goal it is less likely that you will achieve it. BELIEVE you can do it, ACT- sometimes you have to step out in faith. even if you feel that you are too tired or busy to do another workout... workout anyway. because sometimes you have to do it whether you want to or not!, Receive it- If you refuse to give up you WILL eventually reach your goal!
11. Walk by faith not by sight- again... I trust God that the things I do are not in Vain. Every workout, ounce of sweat, tears, etc are bringing me that much closer to my goal. I have FAITH that my body is conspiring FOR me and that when I least expect it, my body will finally MELT the pounds off. and when that happens I will be SOOO proud that I kept the faith.
12. Exercise Early and often! The earlier the less likely I will get busy and feel that it is a burden :-D Because I actually LOVE workinf out... Endorphins are addictive!!!!
13. Never say negative things about yourself- YOUR BRAIN IS LISTENING!! ... and it believes everything it hears. So please, say nice things. you say you are a failure... and yes, you are a failure. You say, I am full of energy and I CAN finish this workout, eat healthy.... whatever, and watch how quickly your body listens to what you say!
14. ~*~There is no tomorrow~*~ Do it now, today, as soon as possible. You'd be surprised how quickly a day, week, month, year can slip by. You don't want the next 6 weeks to get here before tomorrow does... so If you want to eat healthy// workout/ relax/ pray/ write in your journal..... start right now, where you are. It's never too late to get started... :-) The time is NOW!
15.Love yourself now, forever, and always- We get one shot at life and I would hate to look back and realize that I've spent most of my life disliking the one constant person in my life! :-) You are beautiful, you are unique, and YOU DESERVE HAPPINESS. Deep deep happiness. Pure Joy that makes you look forward to each day
16. I, too, hate that people judge you when they feel you are a little overweight and I also dislike the fact that in my mind losing weight means "validating" their belief that you have to be 'thin to win' LOL
BUT... I also know that my happiness comes FIRST or at least near the top of my totem pole and as long as I know I have more qualities than just being "pretty" everything will be fine. :-)
*Bonus*- I will never never never never give up! AND I am going to enjoy this journey and learn as much as possible from every struggle!
I've started trying to USE WHAT I HAVE and take care of what I have... as a way to make sure I can handle more when I get it. (You may not understand this... but I do! lol)
I have started making substitutions in my diet... meaning I am collecting healthy recipes to substitute my favorite foods ;-). Smoothies, sweet potato fries, etc... Oh and I'm working on COOKING almost ALL of my own meals and packing my lunches! I'm a do-it-yourself type of woman and I LOVE being able to make my own food!

In Kansas City, McDonald's is now testing a family-sized meal in a box. It has two Quarter Pounders with Cheese, 20 McNuggets, and two medium fries. It's selling for $14.99, which is a few bucks cheaper than all of that stuff individually.
I'm not sure what kind of modern family you can serve with only two burgers, 20 McNuggets, and two medium fries . . . maybe a two-person family and a small child? But if this goes well in Kansas City, you could definitely see it go nationwide.
McDonald's does sell family meals in other countries. In Australia, they sell the Family Dinner Box, which is two Big Macs, two cheeseburgers, McNuggets, four small fries, and four drinks.

|TRON: Evolution
Abraxas, formerly Jalen, was an Alpha-class ISO that evolved into a computer virus and attacked the Tron system in 1989. He is the main antagonist of TRON: Evolution.
Abraxas' features are tall and thin, almost sickly in appearance, and his circuitry is yellow, with more of a "cracked" design to his circuits than traditional program circuitry. He wears a hood and a long black cloak over his right shoulder, all outlined with circuits. His primary weapon is his identity disc, and he also possesses a virulent plague touch.
Jalen was an ISO who arose from the Sea of Simulation in TC29. He was adopted by Kevin Flynn for intensive study regarding the unknown nature of ISOs. He received an advanced education of user culture from Flynn alongside fellow ISO, Ophelia, and slated for ordination for System Administrator. He competed in the Game Arena, and he skillfully worked his way up in the tournament, but was disqualified when it was discovered that he was an ISO rather than a basic.
Clu, operating from a hidden agenda, intervened and allowed Jalen back into the tournament, which Jalen then won, gaining him the respect of ISOs and Basics alike. Clu "awarded" him a disc upgrade, which would reprogram and transform the ISO into a monstrous virus, erasing all memory of his past life. When Jalen discovered the construction site of Clu's ship, the Regulator, the modified disc was triggered. Clu planned on using Abraxas to destroy and infect the remaining ISOs. Jalen was then reported to have been derezzed in the arena.
Kevin Flynn created a system monitor program, called Anon, to confront Abraxas. After several conflicts, the two had a final battle aboard the Regulator, one of Clu's warships. Abraxas tried to absorb all of the ship's energy, but was derezzed in the explosion that resulted.
Powers and Abilities
In addition to showing great mastery of his identity disc, Abraxas is a powerful computer virus whose very touch is dangerous. He can corrupt any program through simple physical contact, turning them into monsters under his control. He can also corrupt the environment around him through his very footsteps.
- Abraxas is the name of a DOS (Disk Operating System) virus that made a loud, ascending scale play with the words "ABRAXAS" displayed on-screen.
- In Arjia City, there is a location known as Jalen Plaza.

I said, "Hi, Greg. I'm the creepy girl." He chuckled, then wanted a handshake and I gave it. I wanted a hug and he gave it. One of his sons was there, too. Cute. Then Pete got him to autograph my sign for me because I was too polite to ask myself since he was on his way to eat. Pete also took this of photo of him holding it. - 8/2/2014.

I mean in person
What's happening with the band is that they have a good team around them doing exactly what they're supposed to do, and they're happy. The album didn't sell insanely well; that's not exactly something they can control. But very, very few albums are selling well right now, if you didn't notice. Mumford and Sons and Taylor Swift and that's about it.
And as Lost mentioned, I haven't been a moderator for 2 months now.
I am part of a degenerate elite
Dragging our society into the street
They are happy with their lives as they are, despite poor album sales. There is nothing they can do about how it has sold so far. Shows got cancelled, life goes on. Dexter and Greg are nearing 50. Grant the guys a little slack.

We'll be keeping track of all of this busy Monday's announcements here.
Report: Lovie Smith is out in Chicago
Despite a 10-6 record in 2012 and a nine-season tenure that included three playoff appearances and a trip to the Super Bowl, Lovie Smith has been fired in Chicago, according to an NFL Network report.
Buffalo Bills get rid of head coach Chan Gailey
After three years with the Bills and a 16-32 record, head coach Chan Gailey has been "relieved of his duties as head coach."
Kansas City Chiefs fire head coach Romeo Crennel, remain undetermined on GM Pioli
After a league-worst 2-14 record, the Chiefs have fired Romeo Crennel after one full year on the job.
"I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for Romeo, both personally and professionally," Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt said in a statement. "He is an accomplished coach, a man of great character and he helped guide our football team through some extremely challenging circumstances this season. However, I am embarrassed by the poor product we gave our fans this season, and I believe we have no choice but to move the franchise in a different direction. I will immediately begin the search for the next head coach of the Chiefs."
Hunt also said that no final determination has been made on the status of general manager Scott Pioli.
Philadelphia Eagles make it official, end Andy Reid's 14-year tenure with team
As reported Sunday, the Eagles formally fired Andy Reid Monday morning.
"Andy Reid won the most games of any head coach in Eagles history and he is someone I respect greatly and will remain friends with for many years to come," owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement on the team's website. "But, it is time for the Eagles to move in a new direction. Coach Reid leaves us with a winning tradition that we can build upon. And we are very excited about the future."
New York Jets fire general manager Mike Tannenbaum
Owner Woody Johnson didn't waste any time finding a fall guy for the team's disappointing 6-10 season.
In a statement, Johnson said, "This morning, I informed Mike Tannenbaum that he will not return for the 2013 season. Mike devoted 15 years of service to the Jets, and I want to thank him for his hard work and dedication. Although he helped guide us to two consecutive AFC Championship games, we are not where we want to be, and a new General Manager will be critical to getting this team back on the right track."
Johnson also said that Rex Ryan "will remain the head coach of our football team."
Cleveland Browns fire head coach Pat Shurmur and general manager Tom Heckert
The Browns have fired the coach after two seasons on the job, in which he posted a 9-23 record. The move was expected after the team changed ownership this season. Shurmur told the Cleveland Plain-Dealer Sunday that he hadn't spoken to new owner Jimmy Haslam in "quite some time." Despite drafting a solid young nucleus that includes running back Trent Richardson and defensive tackle Jabaal Sheard, general manager Tom Heckert is also out.
Gene Smith out as Jacksonville Jaguars general manager
The Jaguars have removed Smith after a franchise worst 2-14 record, according to a team statement. Smith, 48, held the position since 2009. His replacement will be responsible for choosing the second overall pick in the 2013 and also will likely be tasked with the unenviable decision of whether to bring Tim Tebow back to his hometown. Coach Mike Mularkey's job appears safe for now.

NEW ORLEANS If there's anyone perfectly suited to lead the read-option offense into the Super Bowl for the first time, it's 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. If you're not into tattoos, he's not exciting off the football field, but on it, he runs with the stride of Usain Bolt and throws with such velocity he snapped one of Randy Moss' fingers in practice.
He is a remarkable athlete and a big kid (6-4, 230). But can he hold up? Can any of these guys hold up? We've already seen Robert Griffin III go down. We've seen Michael Vick knocked silly.
Can the read-option (or pistol) really be the wave of the future in the NFL? I don't think so. I don't agree with Ravens coach John Harbaugh and all those pistol-packing junkies who can see the offense in every playbook one day.
"I think it will have staying power in the league," says Harbaugh, whose brother, Jim, installed the read-option when he made Kaepernick his starter following the ninth game of the season. "The beauty of it is and part of the genius of it is that it's such a simple idea."
"You can run your whole offense on it," says John, who faces Jim and Kaepernick in today's Super Bowl. "You aren't limited to an option-type attack out of it. Not just your run game but your entire pass game as well. The backs get position to protect. You can run all your drop-back stuff, you can run power game inside and outside, and you can run read-option, triple-option."
Agreed. But I can't see it having a great shelf life. This is not college football. In the NFL, defenses work things out, and eventually they get you, like they got RGIII and Vick. Steve Young was a great running quarterback, but they got him, concussed him out of the NFL, and he wasn't running the read-option.
Remember, a quarterback running the pistol, once he gets outside, is fair game for defenders, according to NFL rules. He becomes a running back. Now Kaepernick's been fortunate in that on many of his runs, long runs especially, he hasn't been touched. But he's going to get touched.
"I think it's important if you run the quarterback, you have to be smart about how often you run him and how you do it," says 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman. "If you try to do too much of it, I think it will be a short-lived phenomenon."
Right. But coaches have been known to get greedy when something works.
I've been listening to arguments from each side of the pistol this week. Some say that great young receivers and backs may take a look at this and want to play quarterback. But as former Rams and Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner put it, just because you're a great athlete doesn't mean you can step back in the pocket, read a defense and throw it straight.
So you have Kaepernick, RGIII, Seattle's Russell Wilson and Carolina's Cam Newton who have the ability to run it. Vick probably doesn't want to run it anymore. But there are 32 teams and many of them are doing fine with stand-up quarterbacks such as Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco and even the Chargers' Philip Rivers, when he's protected.
There simply aren't 32 read-option guys around. Not close. And, if you have one and are fully committed to the pistol, you'd better have two quarterbacks who can do it, because sooner or later one is going to go down.
Alex Smith, the quarterback Kaepernick replaced (although other than get a concussion in the ninth week, he had done nothing to deserve a demotion), operated a similar offense (Urban Meyer's spread) while at Utah and became the overall No. 1 draft choice. He can run, but he's no Kaepernick.

DECATUR, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) - Colts quarterback and Norwell grad Chandler Harnish along with Marine Corporal Josh Bleill were at Bellmont High School Monday night telling their stories.
Harnish was "Mr. Irrelevant," which means he was the last player taken in the 2012 draft. Harnish says the NFL inspires him to make these appearances. Bleill lost both legs while on active duty in Iraq. He is now the Indianapolis Colts community spokesperson and travels the country spreading the message of hope one step at a time.
All proceeds from the event went to the wounded warriors.

Benjen Stark is a recurring character in the first season. He is played by guest star Joseph Mawle and debuts in the series premiere. Benjen Stark is the First Ranger of the Night's Watch and is missing north of the Wall.
Benjen Stark is the youngest son of Lord Rickard Stark. Rickard was the head of House Stark and Lord Paramount of the North. The North is one of the constituent regions of the Seven Kingdoms and House Stark is one of the Great Houses of the realm. House Stark rule the region from their seat of Winterfell and Rickard also held the title Lord of Winterfell.[1]
Benjen is the younger brother of Brandon, Eddard and Lyanna. Rickard, Brandon and Lyanna were all killed in the civil war known as Robert's Rebellion. Eddard inherited his father's titles and responsibilities.[2][3][4]
Benjen joined the Night's Watch, the military force which patrols the Wall and guards the northern border of the Seven Kingdoms. He earned the rank of First Ranger. Benjen is a hero to Eddard's bastard son Jon Snow.[5]
Season 1
Benjen travels south from the Wall to join in the feast welcoming King Robert Baratheon to Winterfell. He brings news about ill omens from beyond the Wall. Benjen tells Eddard that the young deserter he executed was a good and loyal man, a true ranger who would not desert his post lightly. He invites his nephew Jon Snow to join the Night's Watch; Jon agrees despite Benjen's warning that it is a hard life.[6] Eddard agrees to become the Hand of the King. A few days later, the royal party heads south. Benjen accompanies them to the Kingsroad and then escorts Jon and Tyrion Lannister north to Castle Black. Along the way they are joined by fresh recruits, including a rapist named Rast. Jon begins to realize that the Watch may not be the noble institution he thought it was.[7]
Upon arriving at Castle Black Jon begins his training. Benjen tells Jon that he is going north of the Wall on a ranging. Jon asks to go with him, but Benjen tells him that he is not ready and cautions that on the Wall a man only gets what he earns, not what his birth entitles him to. Benjen says farewell to his friend Yoren, a recruiter for the Watch. He also exchanges words with Tyrion, who is about to head south with Yoren. Benjen feels that Tyrion holds the Watch in disregard despite Tyrion's protests to the contrary.[8]
Catelyn Stark takes Tyrion prisoner at the Crossroads Inn believing he attempted to kill her son, Bran.[9] Because of his friendship with Benjen, Yoren rides on to King's Landing and reports Catelyn's actions to Eddard.[10]
Benjen's horse returns to Castle Black, but there is no sign of Benjen himself.[11] Shortly afterwards, two of the rangers who accompanied Benjen, Othor and Jafer Flowers, are found dead in the forest beyond the Wall. They are brought back to Castle Black for Maester Aemon to study, but in the middle of the night they reanimate as wights. Both are killed again and their bodies are burned.[12] Lord Commander Jeor Mormont vows to take the Watch beyond the Wall in force to investigate what's going on and promises Jon that they will find Benjen alive or dead.[13]

In the books
In A Song of Ice and Fire, Benjen is the First Ranger of the Night's Watch, a position of high honor and achievement. It is rumored he took the black to escape from Winterfell because his home reminded him of his lost family (Rickard, Brandon, and Lyanna). He is a noted tracker and fighter. Benjen attends King Robert Baratheon's visit to Winterfell and Jon approaches him at the feast about joining the Night's Watch. Benjen tries to talk him out of making such a permanent decision at such a young age, but Jon's mind is made up. Benjen later tells Maester Luwin of Jon's decision, who in turn notifies Ned and Catelyn.
As with the TV series, Benjen goes on a mission to assess the situation in the Haunted Forest, but disappears and is never heard from again. The Great Ranging led by Night-Commander Mormont is organized partly in response to Benjen's disappearance.
According to the TV series official pronunciation guide developed for the cast and crew, "Benjen" is pronounced "BEN-jin", as opposed to "Ben-JENN" (the second syllable is short and not stressed).

4 Things Mathematics Teachers Can Do To Prepare for Common Core
Forty-five states are in the midst of implementing the Common Core State Standards. Want to get up to speed on the Common Core? Here are four tips for mathematics teachers.
- Study the Standards for Mathematical Practice. Start by looking at the Standards for Mathematical Practice, the eight organizing principles that underpin all of the Common Core mathematics standards. The Common Core is unique in that it elevates ways of thinking about mathematics to the same level of importance as the results themselves. It is not a reinvention of mathematics! The Standards for Mathematical Practice offers a concrete guide for what it takes to think like a mathematician.
- Do the Math. As a mathematics teacher, stay mathematically active. Challenge yourself (and your colleagues) to solve new puzzles and problems. Analyze your techniques and structures for finding answers, while keeping the Standards for Mathematical Practice in mind. Active engagement with your colleagues and with mathematics may illuminate how you can instill mathematical habits of mind in your students, and what the standards may look like in classroom practice.
- Stay Informed. Follow discussions around Common Core, both at your district level and beyond. Education Week dedicates a section of its website to the standards. You can also monitor what is happening with Common Core assessment, even if this topic does not directly affect you this year. (It will, soon.) The two main organizations developing Common Core assessments are PARCC and SBAC.
- Seek Quality Professional Development. Learn how the Common Core is different than the standards that they replace—and what this means for your teaching. Begin by looking at the Implementing the Mathematical Practice Standards project and The Illustrative Mathematics Project. ASCD also maintains a list of professional development opportunities. Finally, ask your district math coach or liaison for available Common Core professional development workshops.
5 Questions to Ask When Choosing a Common Core Mathematics Curriculum
Districts face an abundance of options when looking to purchase a mathematics curriculum. The introduction of the Common Core State Standards puts even more pressure on districts to make the right choice.
But how do staff charged with making curricular decisions evaluate which programs are based on the principles behind the Common Core, and which are merely re-packaged textbooks with a shiny "Common Core-aligned" label?
"A curriculum should be explicit about its organizing principles," says EDC's Al Cuoco, a mathematician and former teacher. "Evaluators of a program should not have to guess about a program's intentions." He offers five questions to help identify whether a curriculum prioritizes the Standards for Mathematical Practice.
- Does it stress experience before explanation? Students develop the habits described in the Standards for Mathematical Practice by puzzling through problems and reflecting on their own methods for making sense of mathematics. While worked-out examples and careful definitions are important, students first need to grapple with ideas and problems. Definitions and theorems should be capstones, not foundations.
- Does it emphasize essential mathematical ideas? A program with the Practices in mind makes a clear separation between convention and matters of mathematical substance. Knowing the quadrant in which an axis lies is a matter of convention; being able to apply the Pythagorean theorem is a matter of substance. Both are important, but they require different and textured emphasis. A careful look at the assessments provided with a curriculum tells a lot about how the program treats these important ideas, which lie at the heart of the Common Core philosophy.
- Does it set high expectations? Students are born mathematical thinkers. But they often need help in developing and improving their reasoning skills, especially as the content becomes unfamiliar. A curriculum that helps students develop mathematical practices features a small number of important themes. It allows easy access to concepts while providing challenging mathematics. This low-threshold, high-ceiling design is essential.
- How does it promote technical fluency? Expertise in numerical and algebraic calculation, proof, and graphing are critical for success in mathematics. A curriculum that embraces the Standards for Mathematical Practice treats these skills in thoughtful ways. Beware of endless pages of drill. Look for carefully orchestrated exercises that promote technical fluency within areas of mathematical substance.
- Who wrote it? The people responsible for writing, editing, and field testing the curriculum should represent all parts of the mathematics community. This includes teachers, researchers, technology specialists, and administrators. It's especially important that programs seek out the involvement of practicing mathematicians and scientists, as they have intimate knowledge of the critical-thinking skills that are necessary for success.
