Classroom Content
The American Historical Association has a long-standing commitment to teaching and history education at all levels, and supports teaching in a wide variety of ways. At the annual meeting, the AHA and its affiliates sponsor many sessions on teaching. The AHA also offers a number of prizes and awards, and supports the good work of National History Day.
The AHA has developed several resources for classroom teaching through the years. From Sixteen Months to Sumter, collecting editorials before and at the start of the Civil War, to Teaching and Learning in the Digital Age, an early guide to using digital methods in teaching, to Resources on K-16 Teaching, history teachers at all levels can find content and guidance on this important aspect of the profession.
Mock Policy Briefing Program
Modeled on the National History Center's Congressional Briefings by Historians program, the Mock Policy Briefing Program provides a guide to enable educators and students to craft public briefings on the historical background of policy questions facing local or state leaders. The guide includes an overview, learning outcomes, sample assignments, and practical tips on organizing public briefings.
Teaching and Learning in the Digital Age
Teaching and Learning in the Digital Age: Reconceptualizing the Introductory Survey Course, a 2004 project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Carnegie Foundation for Advancement of Teaching, offers historians models for how to use digitized primary sources in survey courses in World History and the History of the Americas. Lesson plans include The Conquest of Mexico by Nancy Fitch; Teaching Difficult Legal or Political Concepts by Sue Patrick; Through the Lens of History: Biafra, Nigeria, the West and the World by David Trask; and Creation Stories and Epics by William Jones.
Classroom Resources
Teaching WWI History through Food
This site provides links to four (a fifth is forthcoming) videos that explore the history of World War One through food. The site is intended as a teaching resource to deepen students' knowledge and understanding of Americans' experience of World War One and to offer history teachers materials for their classroom use.
Sixteen Months to Sumter
This site provides access to over 1,000 newspaper editorials detailing the shifting tides of emotion and opinion in the 16 months leading to Southern secession and the American Civil War. The site is intended primarily as a teaching resource, to enrich students' exploration and understanding of the period and assist history teachers by expanding the available primary sources.

Apple's shares hit 52 week low, Google's hit an all-time high
0. phoneArena 04 Mar 2013, 13:32 posted on
Two ships passing each other in the dark, the S.S. Apple heading South and the S.S. Google heading North; Apple's shares have hit a 52 week-low on Monday thanks to the decision by Judge Koh to cut the damages awarded to Apple in last year's epic patent battle with Samsung; meanwhile, Google's shares have hit an all-time high...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

How do you like them apples! Burn baby burn!

It would seem that Apple's time has gone. Not even leaking about an iWatch is helping them. There are beginning to be similarities with RIM appearing - chief of which is the arrogance about how they know what the consumer wants better than the consumer does.
Newton (what goes up must come down, and what-not) had it right on so many levels....
15. UrbanPhantom (Posts: 949; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
Don't kid yourself: Apple still has enough reserve money to buy Google, MSFT, and a few other tech companies as well. They'll be back at it soon enough, and there will be new patent wars as well. Android OEM's are extremely vulnerable, and one minor court victory for Samsung reducing damage costs won't save the rest of the bunch from being mauled individually...
There is room on the block for everybody, if seeing the level of animosity between fans of the different OS's, I can only assume there will be some bitter conflicts between these companies in the days ahead. May the best man - I mean OS - triumph.

"There is room on the block for everybody"
Not according to apple, which is why they suck ass.
42. UrbanPhantom (Posts: 949; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
War and business are the same thing, and Apple is doing what they need to do, by suing other vendors that copy and steal their technology. You may praise Samsung for the quality of their products, but they were found guilty for having stolen Apple's designs and/or intellectual property.
Desire for innovation not-with-standing, the patent wars are about having to compete in a tight market space. I'm willing to bet that you haven't seen the last of those icky lawsuits ;o)

Just cuz you have enough money to buy somthing or someone doesnt mean that company will allow you to buy them!
Thats the essence of pride my friend.....apple may have more money but just buying google off is hilarious to think of:

"Apple still has enough reserve money to buy Google"
Since you claim that Apple has enough money to purchase Google I'm curious to ask you a few questions:
1) Could you tell us how much cost Google?
2) Could you name us maximum financial limit which Apple as a company can allow for commercial operations?
3) Do you already know verdict of antitrust authorities?
46. UrbanPhantom (Posts: 949; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
Of course Apple won't buy Google; they'll go after the weaker Android OEM's, and so will Microsoft for that matter. Why kill the big fish, when you can obliterate their feeding grounds instead?
There are plenty of Android OEM's that are already paying huge licensing fees, and additional lawsuits can be brought forth, starving their already meager profit ratios. I'm not saying that I am rooting for one company to emerge as the sole dominant player, but if you think Google is safe, guess again ;o)
49. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
"Why kill the big fish, when you can obliterate their feeding grounds instead?"
So you think that Google is a fish and Apple is a fisherman? I would say you have interesting logic because looking at Apple's shares and various other statistics, we can clearly see that fish is eating a fisherman.
59. _PHug_ (Posts: 444; Member since: 11 Oct 2011)
Wait... so you're hoping for lawsuits to bring Apple back, not their products?
67. joey_sfb (Posts: 5758; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
Disgusted with hard core apple fan. They would support Apple making a come back via law suit not the quality of the product which is very little to begin with.
70. PhoenixWright (Posts: 102; Member since: 11 Feb 2013)
Android and Windows wont sell their OS for Apple. Plus Apple has too much pride in its company to even buy those. the only thing Apple can do is a revamp and total makeover with additional innovations which I foresee will only come when Apple is nearing bankruptcy.

Mxyzptlk, did you not read the article at all? Apple's stock fell 40% since the launch of the iPhone 5 release. Based on your logic, they're doing well. This just shows how biased and narrow minded you are in tech.
35. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Their sales are going well. However, their stock is sinking.
This is a case of rats jumping ship because they think it's sinking.
56. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1131; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
Better read the stock reports. They are cutting orders every where. For the 1st time since they launched in Europe that they are not the lead phone being sold. In Asia, their sales are also declining. Analyst are not dumb, just unrealistic sheep's and pigs stay the course and hope for a come back.
I remember when Citi said to buy, and I can tell you then that they were selling. When a top performing "widget" cuts its orders and sales decline in areas when they were leading, analyst sell to people like you hoping for a rebound!
Then when the stock hits bottom they repurchase them if the data shows it is worthy! This is not meant to take away from what Apple has done in the game, but the MS Surface Pro, and ohter devices are now eating away at Apples weathered technology. They need to build a new mouse trap, and lead with innovation. However; I feel they will find that watch unable to make things happen unless it is so revolutionary that people have to have it.
I see the new Google Glass as something that is very revolutionary cutting edge at this point.
Apple has some what lost it's "mojo".
I am hoping they come up with something, because the iPhone made other companies like MS step up to the plate finally!
38. lauremar (Posts: 181; Member since: 29 Feb 2012)
Myxzptlk, you're on denial... Apple is spiraling down, way down, and you're hanging on its coat tails and going down with it... Hopeless!

the reason why is google not computer company ..they do a little bit of everything so they're not stuck in one catagory a other word for it OPEN minded ...apple doesnt do none of that
26. alps0975 (Posts: 3; Member since: 04 Mar 2013)
This happening to AAPL becuase they became greedy. All profit is mine vs google which believes in sharing everything and making more money
62. jroc74 (Posts: 6006; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
What makes all this wild...is Apple being a straight tech company...they should be dominating Google. But they arent.
Google doesnt do any hardware at all. Everything Google does is software. Before anyone mentions the Nexus devices...they are made by an OEM. HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola (Xoom wasnt technically a Nexus device...but it was)
Google buying Motorola might change that. Even then...it would only be phones and tablets. I think Google sold off the cable box division/dept. IMO that was crazy....they have Google TV.
Ahh...forgot about Google Glass. Who makes the Chrome Books?
4. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
$275 is correct value to hit so still to lose another $150 ... watch will help lose 50-75 maybe :)
6. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Don't know, with pebble, rumors of Android powered devices and Google glass I don't see how the iwatch could be more than just an iPod mini
12. Zero0 (Posts: 592; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
$275 can't be right. That would be a company valuation of $260 billion. Apple has at least $130 billion in cash. They also have really valuable trademarks ("Apple" is huge, as well as "iPhone," etc.). Their assets alone are worth a ton.
I think Apple's within a few dollars of a fair stock price. Granted, I'm not an investor, but let's be fair here. They're a company with plenty of gas in the tank as far as profit is concerned (even if the future isn't quite as bright as it was 6 months ago), and there are powerful assets behind them.

is cool thats how the stock works.. Google will eventually go down and Apple will go up.. is the stock market people chill

Yes, let's take stock advice from a barely literate troll.
39. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
"Google will eventually go down and Apple will go up."
And what if eventually Google go even more up instead of going down?
81. jroc74 (Posts: 6006; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Sometimes...a company can go all the way down...and never recover. Google could stay even. Or like someone mentioned...Google could go up even more.
What goes up...must come down...so I agree with what you are saying.
When, if and who it happens to...remains to be seen.

10. Reluctant_Human (Posts: 886; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
This is stock brockers and analysts driving the price down so they can cash in when it goes up. Still nice to see Apple sweat a little though.
20. drnggaj33 (Posts: 127; Member since: 29 Feb 2012)
the highest apple will go is maybe 550 or 600 but thats pushing it when there new stuff comes out but they're not gonna hit 800 again anytime soon im calling it now
40. ZeroCide (Posts: 777; Member since: 09 Jan 2013)
It never hit 800 in the first place so its definately not gonna do it again.

blood, guns and more.
yes, it's all good stuff.
i would agree but not always violence needed"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
Isn't every anime series based on some sort of violence?
Yes it is. There's a reason for it, too. Everyday life is mundane, humdrum. When there is conflict, or a desperate situation, or a wandering swordsman, or something, you have the opportunity for either someone or a group of someone's to rise up and inspire, protect and generally just kick ass.
I was gonna make some really great comment about elevating humanity or something, but I completely forgot. Just totally slipped my mind.
violince is a word and people have differnt deffanitions of that one word.so in my openion what violence is to some one,isn't violence to some one else.like me."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
That is true. If you saw a fight on the street, you might think it's unnecessary violence, but if you talked to the guys fighting, one guy may be fighting to protect his girlfriend, and the other to protect his life after disrespecting said girlfriend. In each case it's not unnecessary violence, or even considered violence. It's a definitive resolution to the problem.
so you see what i meen.right?"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
thats cool that some one understands what i say."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
I get all that, i was just being a smartass because everyone whois here is an anime or Manga fan so we all like seeing situations played out in a fast paced confrontational setting to some extent.
i see."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
I know, I just like being able to talk like an adult sometimes.
I think i have caught a few comments talking about your kids so i can understand that.
yeah, you deal with them so much you start to forget how to talk to another adult!! Fortunatley they are almost out of that.
I have three 18 year old roomates in chollege and girls are petty the fighting is awful and some of the stuff they do is worse than three year olds.
man that must stink....all that arguing...how do you deel with all that?"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
Invest in earplugs or heavily sedate them whenever at all possible!
Ahhh, I see your point. I had a friend in college a while back. when he was a junior he got stuck with 2 freshman roommates. He didn't like it, but he gave them hell until they would do whatever he wanted. He was happy after that.
Girls work on a different level. Talking behind each others back and hogging the bathroom so you can't get ready. only two months till i'm done so i can deal with the whining until then.
WOW...i had no idea.Why do girls do that??I remember when i was 8 and my sisters kicked my ass for no reason."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
I know i am a girl and all but sometimes girls drive me crazy. The rich girls are the worst because they think they can do anything, and of course all my roonates are wealthy. That's when i sik the dog on them.
lol...ya i know exactly what you mean..lol.I like girls that know thereselfs and don't try to act like some one else.girls that act like there something there not pissmeoff...and rich girls do just that,act."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
Spoiled rich bitches really piss me off. You just want to teach them a lesson and sick a huge tentacled thing on them.... or something like that.
Tell me about it, i live it everyday.
I feel bad for you. At least it won't be for much longer anyway, right?
Almost done, don't feel bad I don't want people to feel sorry for me. It's all good, talking to everyone here on Manga have kept me sane recently.
thats cool,i mean you geting out soon.atleast you can relax then and not deal with that bull."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
You should start messing with them. play pranks on them and hint that it was one of the other girls. Toothpaste in a shoe was always a good one.
seems you know exactly what your doing.how did you get so good at pranks?"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
I am the 3rd of 4 kids. I had to know some of this stuff to survive. That, and I am fairly intelligent (or at least would like to think so) and have a bit of a mischevious streak in me, so pranks come almost second nature.
i'm the 4 of 4 kids...and i had not that much experiance.my brother proteced me,my sisters were evil,then when i was three my brother taught me Martail arts.that was my protection...lol."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
I'll take that under advisment.
"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
Thats some good advice..lol.How didi you come up with that??"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
same here...even know i'm still talk down to like im a little kid."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
I like some violent anime. Elfen Lied, Bleach, DBZ, Gits, Strait Jacket, NGE are some off hand I like.
I like a lot of gun action and maybe a few fight scenes but none of that gory blood shit some blood is cool but some animes do over kill like elfin laid(or whatever it's called). I like to sit and enjoy my anime watching time not barf up what i ate last nite.
old anime shows and redoing them .......making them....pg like DBZ<~Did you know that Your Dreams are Just Lost Pieces of Reality.~> http://www.playlist.com/LadyMeyesi
thought of Trigun and GunGrave when guns and violence was mentioned.. nothing like blood and calamity.

So that leaves us with something like...:
Mursak - Emmerton - Coetzee
Tatar - Andersson - Pare
Owens - Oulahen - Armstrong
(Basically need at least 4 new signing, or some of the uncertain lot to return). I don't fancy Emmerton as our 1st line centre, he'd get destroyed IMO. We really lack offensive fire-power, hopefully Williams returns but I doubt it. We need more proven AHL scorers, at least one, preferrably two.
Smith - Pyett
Kolosov - Lashoff
Ehrhardt - Piche
If Janik returns, bump everyone down a spot. I really like the look of that defence, especially if Janik returns, which I think he will.

What transpired over the next eight days proved that show of poise was more than an isolated incident. When Louisville stumbled in the semifinals against Wichita State, Hancock was there to pick them up. And when they were desperate for a spark in Monday night's national championship game against Michigan, once again Hancock rose to the occasion and provided the impetus for an 82-76 conquest of Michigan in the frenzy of the Georgia Dome.
It's sometimes said that the best basketball team doesn't necessarily walk away with the title. That's probably a fallacy in the case of the Cardinals. But even if some want to argue the point, is their any doubt there's no more resilient team than the one that made Rick Pitino the first coach to win national titles at two schools?
During the offseason the Cardinals doubted whether Hancock could play the season. He had undergone shoulder surgery and could barely lift his arms. The team trainer told Pitino that only a player with extraordinary resolve could fight through the pain. Hancock, it turned out, was that player.
Then there was the injury to Ware that left Louisville with diminished backcourt depth, no small issue for a team that relies on constant pressure defense to drive opponents to fatigue. And, lastly, there was the situation involving Hancock's father, who is seriously ill but made the journey from Roanoke, Va., to sit behind the Louisville bench and watch his son emerge as the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four. Luke hadn't even told his teammates of the gravity of the situation.
Louisville (35-5) looked dead, overwhelmed with three minutes left in the first half. The Wolverines (31-8) were up 12, cruising, controlling the boards, pushing for a blowout. Everything was going their way. And then, in a two-minute snap, Hancock brought Louisville back with a sizzling display, just as he had when the Cards trailed Wichita State by 12 with 13 minutes left in the semifinals.
The threes were falling from everywhere as Hancock, a 6-foot-6 junior transfer, scored 14 straight Louisville points in a 14-3 burst that had the Cards within 38-37 at the half. He finished with a team-high 22, adding a three that extended the lead to 10 with just over three minutes to play.
"I just thought we needed something," Hancock said. "I tried to do whatever I could to help the team. I just hit a few shots."
"We just wait and Luke makes big plays," said Cards guard Russ Smith. "When something's not going down, I know one of us is willing to take that big shot and just take the knockout shot. We're not scared of anything."
Michigan had arrived at its 12-point lead in startling fashion. With Trey Burke, the national player of the year, benched with two fouls backup freshman point guard Spike Albrecht went on a rampage en route to 17-first half points, 10 more than his single-game career high. And on the bench, Burke remained while Hancock carried Louisville back into contention. Michigan coach John Beilein, the Burt native who was looking to cap a remarkable career journey with a national title, said time and circumstance dictated such.
"If they had done that earlier in the half, if they had done that around the 10-minute mark, we may have used him late," Beilein said of Burke. "But the fact that it came so late, I would never play Trey with two minutes to go in the first half. That would be crazy. And you can see he had four fouls anyhow.
"The mind-set of coaches today is if a guy's got two fouls, he's going to attack him and he's going to attack him and he's going to attack him. So you're just going to give up baskets. We're up by one at half and the player of the year in every poll everywhere was not in. So we felt really good at halftime."
Just as Burke's foul situation impacted the end of the first half, a fourth foul on Michigan freshman sensation Mitch McGary impacted the second. Louisville was up two when Hancock, on a pump fake, lured the 6-10 McGary into foul No. 4 with 9:11 left. By the time he returned, with 4:34 remaining, the Cards led by seven.
"A big difference was a couple of those offensive putbacks they got late in the game," Beilein said. "When Mitch is not out there, especially in the NCAA Tournament, let's just put it this way: When Mitch is out there he's a difference-maker."
The foul situation did the Wolverines no favors, but Louisville was a different team in the second half. The Cards amped up their defensive intensity. They went to the rim with ferocity, led by senior guard Peyton Siva (18 points, 14 in the second half) and 6-8 sophomore forward Chane Behanan (15 points, 12 rebounds). Louisville scored 12 points in the paint in the first half, 22 in the second. They also decimated the Wolverines on the boards, 20-10, after intermission, and that didn't all come with McGary on the bench.
"Offensively they just found a way to get to the rim and also get rebounds on us," said Michigan forward Glenn Robinson III. "We needed a couple more stops."
Burke picked up for Albrecht in the second half and finished with 24 points in what could be his final college game. The sophomore is expected to declare for the NBA draft.
"We fought for 40 minutes," Burke said. "There was never any point where we gave up. Louisville was just a really solid team. I felt like we could have turned them over a couple more times but they took care of the ball and they hit foul shots."
It wasn't all Hancock's doing, just the part of it that mattered most. He restored Louisville's faith and finished the Final Four with 42 points on 11-of-15 shooting, including 8 of 10 from three.
"I bet this is the best day of his life, so happy, so proud of him," Stephan Van Treese said. "He put in so much work and for everything he's done, he definitely talks the talk and walks the walk."
"These are my brothers," said Ware, who watched the Final Four from alongside the Louisville bench. "They got the job done and I am so proud of them."

Error discovered in Miss Jefferson County crowning
February 19, 2013
CHARLES TOWN — After the conclusion of the 2013 Shenandoah Scholarship Pageant, it was discovered by the Shenandoah Scholarship Organization that an error had been made during the transfer of scores......
The comments made on this site are not made by FAMILY except the ones that display names, not hidding behind screen names. This was an unfortunate mistake and all those involved should be treated with respect, not bashed. This is a good scholarship program and a huge college resource for young ladies. My daughter has shown more character & morals than the senseless person making false statements about her on this site. I think you need to not comment further about my daughter posing like you know her or our family. If you truely did, you would not be making up things about adresses or being intimated to compete, when she clearly did Sat night. If you would like to discuss your issues w/ me personally I would be happpy to do so. Congratulations to Miss Jefferson Co, Makayla Lewis. I think we are forgetting that several girls have been affected and we need to lead by example. I think the girls have handled this better than some of the adults in this community.I'm proud of their char

It has been brought to my attention that posts concerning my daughter were being made. After reading many of these I must respond. Concerning the false statement that any address but our own was used can be found on all paperwork submitted to pageants. My daughter is more than a beautiful face. She has community service, an exceptional talent and currently works w/ special needs students teaching them creative movement. MJC was the 1st pageant she ever entered and ALL her wardrobe was borrowed. Her entry was seeking college scholarship funds. She also won the talent scholarship. There was no "intimidation" of other girls, as several of them were her friends. The scholarship MJC awards is double that of Berk Co and area girls often enter both pageants with hopes of winning any of the catagories that awards them. This is no different than applying for more than one scholarship online but is much more time consuming and involves personal interview and exceptional talent.

At Jeffersonheartless, I don't know any of these girls, but I'd be willing to bet that you know one of them! Probably one of them that didn't get anything at all and you are jealous... If Lewis can hold her head up high knowing or not knowing if she's the true winner then congrats!!! ;) Noone really knows who tampered or who the real winner is. I can tell you that I looked at Raven's Facebook page and regardless of winning a pageant that child has the values and morals of a beautiful young woman. I doubt other teens would have handled this with as much dignity and grace as she and her family have been.

Just the facts... 1. Raven didn't use her aunts address.2.living in BC is within the 50 mile radius.3. Raven did participate in Miss BC as did the rest of the girls.4.raven wasn't just a face, she had a talent and an awesome platform.5.it is about the scholarship money and giving a year of your life to represent the county.6. All participates were given equal opportunity to win scholarship money. 7.no pressure was put on her to participate just a reques t from pageant director 9 days prior to pageant. 8. She was CROWNED and then it was taken away 2 weeks later and then was 1st runner up & that too was taken! So, what would you think? 9. I am her step mother and I DO KNOW the FACTS better than you! Thank you! Kellie Wilkinson

I think this negativity is very sad. It is very unfortunate that this had to happen. I have known Raven since she was 3 years old and have watched her grow into the beautiful young lady she is today. Her beauty if not only skin deep, she has a heart to match. I think it is sad to fault her, or any young lady, for competing in a pageant to help offset educational expenses. I am proud of the way she has handled this unfortunate situation, her strength and grace are a tribute to the young lady she has grown to be.

Obviously you are her family or close friend and cannot have an unbiased opinion about this ordeal. Maybe you guys shouldn't be putting the pressure on her to try to snag up all the winnings and give another child the opportunity at scholarship money who truly need it. Unlike the participants in this case. It's a shame but so it goes in the panhandle pageant world.

Once again, you are wrong!If you knew so much about her, you would know that she did compete in Berk Co. So you obviously don't know her & shouldn't be making statements about anyone being intimidated. Several of the Berk Co contestants also competed in Jeff first because the cash scholarship is $1,500 not $750 like Berk, so you do the math & figure which one awards a higher scholarship. Are you even a ADULT, because you certainly don't act like one. Maybe you should call the journal & see if they want to do an article on you & then you can post facts about yourself and not someone you don't even know. Can't believe a responsible adult would post such negative comments regarding a young lady entering 2 scholarship pageants for the possibility of winning any of the cash awards available. Don't you have anything more positive you could be doing with your time. Maybe your homework??

Once again JeffCoHeart you don't know what you are talking about. She entered after being recruited by Directors of MJC and seeking the scholarship money which is double that of Berkeley County Scholarship awarded. If she KNEW she wouldn't win why would any contestant ever enter? These scholarship pageants are to award these girls money toward their college tuition. Would you not try first for a higher scholarship award? I thinks it's horrible that you would post something so negative about a young lady that you don't even know, and say anything regarding anyone's chances of winning any pageant. Are you a professional judge? The Miss America org is good source of scholarship money for MANY young girls seeking to continue their education. It's unfortunate that this error occured. We should not be posting negative comments about young girls............so do everyone a favor & keep your negativity to yourself because your posts are inaccurate. Maybe you should just be nice......

Anyone who has had any contact at all with these pageants knows there are problems. Many of these young women enter multiple pageants for multiple years. And if they win, they are pressured about weight (meaning go on a diet), gowns (where they are purchased and style), making changes to their talent, selling ads for the state pageant booklet, etc. If they put want they spend on the pageant toward their college education, it would be more than what they win in scholarships.

Absoluteley horrible the way this was handled! How were mistakes made with the "Miss" contestants but somehow the judge/auditors panel knew how "transfer" it correctly for for the 2 "Teens" that were crowned? Were their scores incorrect also? Sounds like people weren't happy with the true winner so they created a story to take it away. Doesn't everyone reading these posts agree that is awfully strange that the 2 Teens that were crowned at the exact same time somehow had their scores done properly?

Purchased from Signor Pinti in 1870 for £12 12s
One of twelve angels
Donatello (1386-1466)
Bronze partly gilt
Part of the High Altar of the Basilica di Sant'Antonio, Padua, Italy
Donatello may originally have conceived a design with only ten angels. On 27 April, 1447, he and his associates contracted for ten bronze angels and four Evangelists in the form of animals. The ten angels were already cast at this stage, but not yet polished and gilded. At this point Donatello suggested that a frame could be placed around them if so desired. On 30 June, 1449, Donatello was paid for casting the two remaining angels, and for having adorned the four Evangelists and twelve angels. The reliefs of the angels were placed around the sides of the altar: a payment for cornices in 1455 makes it clear that they were placed below the free-standing figures, on a level with the four reliefs of Miracles performed by St Anthony, and the symbols of the Evangelists.On 13 April 1446, a donation of 15,000 lire was accepted from a Paduan citizen, Francesco da Tergola, for the construction of the high altar of the Santo. The first payment to Donatello for the new altar occurs in February 1447.
Although the altar was temporarily erected for the feast of St Anthony (June 13) 1448, and most of the major figures were cast by 1450, the project was still unfinished when Donatello left Padua in 1454. The altar originally stood at the end of the choir, close to the ambulatory, but was dismembered in 1579, when officials of the Arca decided to replace it with a larger structure, designed by Girolamo Campagna and Cesare Fianco. Although most of Donatello's sculptures were incorporated into the new altar by 1582, it was not until 1895 that all the surviving components were united in the present fanciful reconstruction by Camillo Boito. The original form of the altar remains controversial, due to the loss of almost all the original architectural elements, except for a pair of volutes (item 8 below).
The surviving components of the original altar are:
Preserved on the altar in the Basilica di Sant'Antonio:
1. Seven bronze figures in the round, comprising, the Virgin and Child enthroned, St Francis (V&A cast no. 1899-56), St Anthony of Padua, St Louis of Toulouse, St Daniel, St Justina, St Prosdocimus.
2. Four bronze reliefs depicting miracles performed by St Anthony of Padua (V&A cast nos. 1884-325 to 328).
3. Four bronze reliefs containing Symbols of the Evangelists.
4. Twelve bronze reliefs of angels (V&A cast nos. 1870-18 and 18 A to K).
5. A bronze relief of the Dead Christ Lamented by Two Angels (V&A cast no. 1884-329).
6. A limestone relief depicting the Entombment.
7. A bronze relief of the Dead Christ with seven angels, by an unidentified Venetian sculptor (V&A cast no 1884-330).
In the Museo Antoniano, Padua:
8. A pair of volutes, thought to have come from the canopy which once surmounted the altar.
In the Museo Salvatore, Romano, Florence:
9. Marble reliefs depicting the half-length figures of St Prosdocimus and another saint, possibly two of the four half-length saints seen by Marcantonio Michiel on the back of the altar, in the early 16th century.

Your Take: What Have You Been Putting Off?
|Email Print
You never need more than one checking account. I have two and for the last year or two, as I've moved slowly towards simplifying our finances, closing the second checking account has always been on my "To Do" list but has never been scratched off. I've closed plenty of online savings accounts, like HSBC Direct and FNBO Direct, but not this checking account because it'll require me to go into a branch.
What has it cost me? There are a few hundred dollars in the account, let's say it's around $500, and if you assume 2% interest (high yield savings accounts have been at most 2% in the last two years), it has cost me around twenty dollars. Twenty bucks isn't a ton of money but I'd rather have it in my pocket than the bank's!
What have you been putting off? Maybe it's getting your emergency fund off the ground or rolling over a 401(k) into an IRA or perhaps it's just setting up a CD ladder… but there has to be something, money-related, that you've been putting off for one reason or another?{ 33 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

The Metropolitan Opera's annual National Council Auditions have been known to make singers' careers. Renee Fleming was a past winner, as was the bass baritone Samuel Ramey, Frederica von Stade and other opera greats.
Saturday and Sunday, the auditions take over the Flickinger Performing Arts Center at Nichols School (1250 Amherst St.).
The Four City District Auditions begin at 10 a.m. Saturday. Our "four cities" are actually five: Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Toronto and Montreal. Almost 50 singers are expected to participate. Two or three of Saturday's contestants will advance to the Great Lakes Region Auditions, which begin at 1 p.m. Sunday and also involve the winners of the Michigan and Pittsburgh district auditions. One or two of Sunday's auditioners will be selected as Great Lakes Region winners and travel to New York City in March for the semifinals.
The grand national finals take place at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City in March.
The public is welcome to observe this weekend's auditions. Admission is free. A $5 donation is suggested – it's a small price to pay for the drama involved. There is an exciting possibility that you might witness history – and see a magnificent talent in the making.
Though silence is imperative while the auditioners are singing, observers may feel free to come and go, unobtrusively, as they please. For additional information, call Mary Berlow at 885-2727 or Dianne Rubin at 875-5301.

Last week's guest column by Sid Bekowich, "Guns, the Constitution and the people," is correct ... to a point.
Yes, the Second Amendment does say "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed," but preceding that part is, "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state."
In fact reading the arguments of the founders and full context (from Wikipedia on the Ratification debates) "the Constitutional delegates altered the language of the Second Amendment several times to emphasize the military context of the amendment." From this, home use and gun types have been continually challenged to the Supreme Court with each ending that Congress can, in fact, limit exactly who (no felons) and what type (no machine guns still stands) can be legitimately prohibited.
This is a volatile subject, but surely with the fact that more than 11,000 are killed annually with guns by people in these United States, taking another look at who and what type should be on the table.
"Who" is better handled if every transaction requires a background check. "What type" for non-military should not include strictly military-type weapons to my thinking, and I, for one, just don't think any citizen or group of citizens can really take on the Pentagon making it unnecessary for citizens to have assault rifles or magazines holding more than seven (OK, up to 10) rounds.

Joann Kimble and Barzell Ervin, along with Ruby and Raymond Houston, are pleased to announce the engagement and forthcoming marriage of their children, Tosha Ervin and Terrence Houston.
The bride-elect is employed as a nurse and attended Chipola College. She is a resident of Tallahassee.
The groom-elect is employed as a correctional officer and attended the Pat Thomas Law Enforcement Academy.
The wedding is planned for 4 p.m. June 20 at St. Hebron AME Church.
After a honeymoon in Myrtle Beach, S.C., the couple will make their home in Tallahassee.
A while back, Bill Willis and his wife paid a visit to Hiawassee, Ga., and found themselves passing through Dahlonega. They were struck by the veterans memorials they saw in the town and the beauty they added to Dahlonega, and decided to bring the idea home.
Willis, a member of the Greensboro Kiwanis Club, presented the idea of placing veterans memorial crosses throughout the town, and the club was on board immediately.
Quincy city commissioner Angela Sapp asked Jack Mclean, city manager, to do something about the blight in District 2. Grant said recently she received a call from citizens complaining that young men had hauled a sofa on the city right of way on 7th Street, and they set up daily horseshoe games.
The best part of the day-long celebration to kick off Gretna's centennial celebration for 5-year-old Kirsten Harrell was the music and the food. Bopping her head to old school music provided by Tallahassee Nights Live and Nuance, Kirsten sported a light blue butterfly on her cheek and nursed a cold bottle of water.
The Gadsden County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution during the regular meeting last Tuesday night to rename the Courthouse Square "Gadsden County Veterans Memorial Park." Commissioner Doug Croley, who proposed the resolution, said he could not think of a better place for a monument.
Croley said there are currently more than 6,000 veterans residing in the county from all branches of service.
Mike Glazer, attorney for Gadsden Hospital Inc., showed the hosptial's board of directors on Monday night a copy of the new, inactive license granted by the Agency on Health Care Administration. The license, which expires June 21, 2010, officially gives the county a 1-year extension to open Gadsden Community Hospital, now renamed Gadsden Memorial Hospital.
"That's not a lot of time with all that you have to do," Glazer told the board, adding, "The active license should be applied for within the next 60 to 90 days."
A Department of Corrections officer, 61-year-old Donald Geoffrey Barber, was arrested Sunday night in Midway and charged with one count each of purchase of crack cocaine and possession of crack cocaine.
Lt. Jim Corder of the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office said he received information that Barber wanted to buy crack cocaine and was in a Midway motel room with a prostitute. When an undercover officer arrived at the room, the woman answered the door and Barber was lying on the bed.
On behalf of America's Second Harvest of the Big Bend, we want to thank the citizens of Gadsden County for your generous support of the 2009 Stamp Out Hunger food drive held May 9. We also want to thank the Quincy post office and the many letter carriers for all of your work in collecting the food.
I would like to add to the accolades of Rev. Jake Till, who died recently after a very fruitful life.
Several very good writers left out this very important ministry of Till's, and I would like to add it to the record.
Till served for at least 25 years as chaplain to the Florida State Prison in Quincy. He preached to, counseled and baptized incarcerated young men; I would estimate around 2,500. I am tempted to wager that very few of these men never came back to prison but were instead released to a glorious adventure that Till described to them every Sunday.

LISBON - Edward Sabol never imagined finding one of his young calves severely burned on his farm Sunday morning.
"I heard the mother mooing," the Lisbon Road man said. "When I looked down the hill I thought the calf was covered with poop, but as I got closer I saw that it was burned."
The 220-pound female animal was burned so severely that her hide was separated from the body.
Sabol and his wife got the calf on a four-wheeler, loaded it onto a wagon and drove it to large-animal veterinarian, Dr. David Smith's office.
"Dr. Smith said we needed to put the calf down immediately," Sabol said, adding the vet was livid.
"He went off like the Fourth of July," Sabol said.
Smith took photographs and called the Columbiana County Sheriff's Office, the Humane Society of Columbiana County and local media.
It is believed that the calf was burned sometime Friday night.
Sheriff's deputies searched the farm for evidence. Members of the Human Society of Columbiana County also visited the farm and looked for evidence of the assault.
Sabol's wife, Tamara, rode around the farm with Humane Society investigators looking for evidence.
"We did not find much more than was found the first day," Tamara Sabol said on Monday.
Heather Jurina, director of the Humane Society, confirmed the department has been called in to investigate, and would provide details of what has been found.
The estimated value of the calf is $600.
The Sabols said this is not the first time they've had problems with their cows. The couple has 24 beef cattle on the farm.
"Someone shot one of our cows in the head with a .22 rifle a couple years ago," Edward Sabol said. "We've had problems with kids riding their four-wheelers on the property.''
There also have been break-ins.
The couple's 125-acre farm, 6618 Lisbon Road, is located about a mile outside of Lisbon. It has been in Tamara Sabol's family since 1965.
Glenn and Patricia Boros, owners of Canfield Auto Car Wash on U.S. Route 224, have volunteered to donate $1,000 for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who committed the crime, according to Morning Journal news partner WKBN Channel 27.
Another anonymous donor committed $500 to the reward.

"This Is 40" wastes no time putting you in Judd Apatow country. In its opening seconds, our loving married couple – whom we first met in the delicately titled "Knocked Up" – is having sex in the shower. It's part of their mutual 40th birthday observance even if she insists to the rest of the world that she's 38.
She's the one hitting 4-0 first. Then, not long after, it's his turn. And now she discovers that Viagra was part of his 40th birthday plans and she's peeved. "We are young people," she insists. "We don't have to take medication to have sex."
And there you have in capsule form the secret of Apatow's extraordinary current success in industrial Hollywood comedy. He makes elongated sitcoms for movie theaters. But what's important to viewers is that they're often freakier and geekier than most people's sitcoms. And they're more frank and pungent about issues at hand, sometimes to the point where they're a bit startling.
The male half of our well-settled California suburbanites likes to disappear into the bathroom with his iPad for 30 minutes at a time. Which, in this film about domestic life, means, yes, you're just going to have to put up with a sizable conversation between husband and wife through an open bathroom door. "Who takes a half hour to go the bathroom?" she bristles accusingly. "John Goodman," he snaps back, in a joke I'd bet Goodman probably thinks is funny.
They have two adorable daughters, one a sullen pubescent of 13 who has just gotten her period and is working through every episode of "Lost." The other is a little sweetheart of 8 who brags to her sister "I can handle nightmares. You're a nightmare to me."
The couple's two girls are played by the two real Apatow daughters, Maude and Iris. Considering that Apatow is married to female co-star Leslie Mann, that makes "This Is 40" a big movie sitcom the way sitcoms sometimes used to be in the earliest TV – "The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show," for instance, which starred a real husband and wife and featured appearances by their son Ronnie acting fictionally.
Actor Paul Rudd is the star and clear cut Apatow stand-in.
It's also oh-so-comfy despite what author Herbert Gold once called "happy problems." And Apatow – who began as a stand-up comic and has been a benevolent executive presence on movies as hilarious as "Bridesmaids" – knows his way around funny lines. Just as any TV sitcom does, this movie can come up with a funny line or 30. It knows how to put a comic sting in the tail of domestic dialogue, too.
Our fictional hero has founded his own record company and he thinks he's going to score big with a record by one-time indie favorites Graham Parker and Rumour (played by, yes, Graham Parker and Rumour). When their new reunion disc hits the world with sales in the middle three figures, some rethinking is clearly necessary.
Carefully note that the joke here is that our hero's idea of integrity is hopelessly anachronistic. File that away while deciding exactly now much the world needs Apatow.
Meanwhile each member of our couple has a father who's a pain. Both have gone on to have young second families. Rudd's dad is a hopeless mooch played by Albert Brooks. Mann's father is a distant and proper surgeon played by John Lithgow.
And you can see where the plot developments involving each are going throughout the whole movie. No GPS is necessary, I assure you.
It's a sitcom world, which means everything is superficial and every bit of smart alecky and knowingness will be disencumbered of unseemly heavy baggage before it's over.
With all the bracing candor sometimes of "This Is 40," almost none of it rang true to me. But that may be an outgrowth of a simple fact about this couple hitting 40: I'm not sure this supposed specimen couple of upscale California climbers (their house is out of their league and they know it) is all that likable over the two hours and 20 minutes of our tale. The actors? Sure. The story? Not so much.
In fact, in its final frames, I silently wished them all good luck and secretly wondered how many were invited to the big birthday party and didn't go.
With, maybe, a bit of relief, too.
Megan Fox plays a beautiful young assistant in the wife's clothing business with incongruously good financial fortune.
The other "salesgirl" played by Charlene Yi has a delicious moment of self-revelation which is, I swear, alone worth the price of a ticket.
There are enough funny lines to laugh at, to be sure. But if your RSVP has to include a polite decline, I'll understand. You won't miss all that much.

What happened?
What happened?
he fell in the middle of the 1st twizzle (total butt slide) His back was to Cathy when he was getting up and she was still twizzling. She ran into him and nearly knocked him over again.
Cathy looks rather bent over at the waist. is this typical for her or is she spooked by the fall?
Cathy looks taller than I remember, is it just my viewing angle?
I just came back from a business lunch and thought I had missed the whole SD. What a pleasant surprise it's still going on.
That's very disappointing for them
They're not gonna qualify. Time for major soul searching by this team. They've been stuck in the 3rd tier for years now and they seem to be having worse and worse performances in big events.
Huang and Zheng are up. Nice that they do their Rhumba patterns back to back.
The last bit felt really out of place and rusty. They end with Mujer Latina which has become this year's Carmen... They miss their ending pose.
i LIKED the Chinese pair so much! the music chioce (especially the 2nd part), choreo, technical level.
Oops, looks like Huang forgot what to do with her leg at the end of the dance, or did I miss something?
This team doesn't have the speed or deep knees of some, but I always enjoy watching them, esp. her, she's so beautiful and has attitude! Actually he's pretty darn handsome too.

The most passionate guitarist the world has ever seen. He's still rockin' from beyond the grave!
'fly on little wing'
Isabella18 tərəfindən 04 Avqust 2005
a good person who had a troubled life with other people; a cursed life by most standards. He would not have liked anyone to anger any Gods out there, or anyone to put him in the list of damned rock stars, but his influence made great changes in his times, when black people would never have led white people around America during civil right riots, thereby he led by example of how black leadership could exist in the world, even with white people. He played the way he felt was most innovative, and created a sound where he thought the imperfections of the world matched with his playing abilities, and using the imperfections he made greater riffs. His music was inspirational to all leading guitarists at the time, and that must mean something( he did expand the realms of guitar playing not just by the way he played it, but by what he played with). He, like, everyone else from a poor background, did try to make money to survive, and trying to be popular is a way to survive so he did gimmicky things to make it work, even playing in his unorthodox way. He was great and different, and being different sparks controversy. It seems that there is always someone to argue the case of him being the greatest guitarist, but it is the greatest and not neccesarily the best. But why do these hard line haters of Jimi keep comin onto Jimi's website. You don't see this in other sites of the greatest people, like Elvis, Einstein or the Beatles. If you want to hate somebody, hate somebody worthy of that hate. People should not judge someone because they think they don't belong, as Jimi only seems to belong once he died, as he knew. Maybe the debate shouldn't be about Jimi but about the debaters. They seem determined to make his image a battle ground; seeing him as a target for abuse. He was only being himself and did what he could do with what he had. The summer of love may have been influenced by him too, and we should remember what he stood for, peace too, and why do some people miss that point. It is the image and the player and his principles, that made him great, even though you may not see it like that. He was always for peace and harmony.
Jimi Hendrix's greatness is shown by the age that followed him, the peaceful Monteray and Woodstock festivals and the fans from all races. He was,great, hopeful,good, positive,determined, and spiritual. We must remember the situations and difficulties he was under. His life story is astonishing and influential.

Jimi Hendrix is emortal. He is god descended to play guitar. If you say that Slash is better, you are a fucktard. A FUCKING RETARD!!!!!
Jimi's footprint is embedded on Slash's ass!
Mac Daddy tərəfindən 22 Sentyabr 2004
The man who created the ultimate soundtrack for the climax of the time that reshaped our nation into what it is today, namely the revolution of the 60's. maybe he wasn't the cleanest guitarist, maybe he wasn't always the crispest most perfect musician out there, but by god he played with more feeling than clapton or slash or anyone else ever will(not that i dislike them, clapton's definitely up there). and you can't say that he couldn't play the same things as them, he easily could with practice, like they had time to practice. he employed the imperfections and extra sounds and turned all the slip-ups he made into some sort of lick or effect. the amazing thing about jimi is that he made up on the spot some of the most difficult and influential licks in the history of music. there is absolutely no way around the fact that he is the greatest guitarist, even if he isn't the most perfect. That's why we'll travel by my dragonfly.

An inspiration to most of the greatest guitarists ever. Slash is good, but Jimi innovated the way he and others play.
Jimi's spirit lives on with other great guitarists.
Saul Hudson tərəfindən 03 Mart 2005
The most iconic, profound, inventive, masterful and downright best guitar player in the history of music. No one came close to playing guitar like he did. It was never about how fast or how well he played (even though he played exceedingly well). It was about the special connection he made through his guitar and his listeners/audience. In effect, the guitar was to Jimi what Excalibur would have been to King Arthur - A profound expression of the power within one individual. Hendrix did many things that made his music so meaningful. Amongst these he helped to popularize guitar feedback... a technique which was previously undesirable at the time, not to mention playing it with his teeth, executing mind- bending solo's, and even evoking a personality within the instrument itself: for example during his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, where his guitar echoed the harsh nature of the Vietnam War through sound alone. He created a style of music which even to this day has remained unparalleled, and gave us one of the most awe- inspiring forms of music ever. Some of his most famous songs include Purple Haze, Voodoo Child, and his rendition of All Along the Watchtower. There will never be anyone like him again... and even if you did reach his playing standard, you still wouldn't obtain the expressionism, mind or soul he channelled into every performance. Long live Hendrix... we really could do with another time like yours in this day and age :/
Go watch Jimi Hendrix's version of the Star Spangled Banner on Youtube... and if those last few notes don't send shivers down your spine, then you might as well have no soul...
