The University of Scranton engages with K-12 students and teachers in a variety of ways. Below is a listing of current programs and opportunities for collaboration between area schools, as well as directly with students and their parents.
Teacher Training, Tutoring & Mentoring Programs
Education Students' Field Experience & Service Learning Hours
The Education Department in the University's Panuska College for Professional Studies (PCPS) coordinates the field experience hours of students in area schools. These field experience hours, which are required for Pennsylvania teaching certification and graduation include: tutoring, small-group instruction, whole-group instruction, teacher-assisted instruction, as well as the semester-long requirement of student teaching that students complete as part of their senior year or final semester. Graduate education programs have similar, but not exact requirements.
Students are also required to complete service-learning hours as part of their graduation requirements from the PCPS. These students are involved in a variety of experiences at various area agencies, and the Education Department regularly seeks additional service opportunities that are aligned with course competencies.
Area schools or non-profit agencies with questions can contact the Education Department at 570-941-7421.
Student Mentors & Tutors

The Meridian Star
Local law enforcement officials had barely started to get back into their daily routines after bidding farewell to Enterprise Police Chief Randy Boykin two weeks ago when news broke Thursday of another one of their brotherhood being killed.
Jackson Police Department Detective Eric Smith was shot to death by a homicide suspect inside the department's headquarters.
According to the Clarion Ledger, Smith, 40, an 18-year veteran of the force, was shot and killed by the suspect, later identified by WAPT in Jackson as 23-year-old Jeremy Powell. Smith was interviewing Powell on the third floor of the department headquarters when the struggle reportedly occurred.
Powell was thought to have been involved in the death of Christopher Alexander, whose body was found on the side of a road near Daniel Lake Boulevard early Monday morning, according to the Ledger. During the interview Powell wrestled Smith's weapon from him, reports state. Powell was shot and killed about 20 minutes later by another JPD officer.
All day Friday, police departments posted their condolences on social media sites and showed their support for the men and women of the JPD during this trying time.
Meridian Police Department Acting Chief James Sharpe said Friday morning this is a tragic incident which affects the entire law enforcement community.
"Our heartfelt prayers, thoughts, and condolences go to the family and colleagues of fallen Detective Eric Smith," Sharpe said. "We here at the Meridian Police Department will reach out to the Jackson Police Department and offer any assistance we can provide."
Sharpe went on to say, "I'm sure the members of the Jackson Police Department are having a tough time emotionally right now."
Sharpe said the death is another reminder of the dangers men and women of all law enforcement agencies face each time they step out of their homes.
"Chief Boykin was directing school traffic, protecting the parents and children of Enterprise, when he was killed," said Sharpe. "Detective Smith was doing his duty in trying to bring a suspected murderer to justice when he died. We willingly face these and many other threats each and every day for the sake and safety of those we are sworn to protect."
Sheriff Billy Sollie said his text messaging and FaceBook page was "blowing up" Thursday evening after the news of Smith's death began to ripple through the law enforcement community.
"Of course we are here to help the JPD any way we can and I want them to know we are keeping everyone at the department and the family members of Eric Smith in our prayers," said Sollie. "Whenever an officer dies we have to deal with the personal and professional aspects of the loss. The fact this officer was killed in the line of duty, and the way he died, just makes the impact of the incident much more profound."
Sollie admitted when he first began receiving information on the incident he felt anger more than immediate sorrow.
"It just seems that with the evolution of technology, society has become so desensitized toward death that a life just doesn't hold the value it once did," Sollie said.

Twelfth Night, above all, is a comedy, a comedy of romance, so we would be well advised to approach Viola's speech as an expression of romantic comedy and not profound philosophy about human nature. At the same time, in almost every speech of any length, Shakespeare has something interesting to say about human behavior and relationships, however lightly comedic the play itself in which the speech appears. Viola's speech is no exception. The play is about deception, illusion, and especially self-deception. Shakespeare is saying that human beings generally see what they want to see and don't see what they want to see. They want to feel pleasure an

As Coach Mike D'Antoni and Pau Gasol snipe back and forth about starting, finishing and role, Earl Clark has emerged as a productive starter for the Lakers.
In 10 starts for the Lakers, Clark is averaging 10.1 points and 8.6 rebounds while shooting 57.8% from three-point range.
It's his outside shooting that has impressed the most. On the season, he's hit 12 of 22 (54.5%) from behind the arc. That's quite a jump given that Clark didn't hit a single three-pointer in either of the last two seasons.

When it comes to the different stages of pregnancy, by week 10 the baby develops to at least an inch and a half. The baby's growth takes place at this particular stage which obviously comes with its own share of risks. Since the baby is growing, this period is known as the fetal period as it marks the rapid development and growth of the baby.
These changes lead to certain kinds of precautions that the mothers need to take but the goof news is that the chances of any miscarriage decrease considerably by the tenth week. The fetal growth also decreases the chances of various other risks that were prevalent in the initial couple of weeks.
The signs of feta defects also reduce considerably from week 10 onwards. This is one of the most important development stages for the mother and the baby. However, there are some things that need to be kept in mind in order to be wary of and avoid risks:
- It is important to never be exposed to any form of toxin especially the environmental toxins. This means staying away from alcohol or smoke that will cause harm to the baby. This is applicable at all stages of pregnancy.
- The organs of the baby develop rapidly at this stage. This includes kidney, lover, brains etc. Therefore, there is a need to be wary of the sort of environment one is living in. Any kind of adverse exposure can be detrimental to the baby and the mother.
- It is necessary to keep a note of the sort of changes one is going through in terms of the mother's body. This helps in understanding whether the growth is normal or if there are problems or discomfort to immediately consult a doctor.
- Morning sickness is not an issue since there are many women who get over this state late during pregnancy.

The Wooden Sky Interview and The Radio Show – S05E33
On Sunday January 24, I had the opportunity to check out The Wooden Sky at Bands Undone and did a very silly interview with three of the members. The band was in Ottawa for the Ottawa Folk Festival's Acoustic Wave series. I did not take any photos for this session as I other things on mind during the weekend. Their set was great as they did performed four songs. Great band and they're embarking on their tour at this moment.
Video performance is up on Vimeo at this link.
Review including videos from Bands Undone is at this link.
The Radio Show for January 27, 2010
As promised, I played some new Canadian indie tunes and a new segment (including Audio Sensory Resuscitation) counting down the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
I decided to air The Wooden Sky interview this week because of one question as I did not want to make this particular song old if it's aired at a later month. The interviews from November and December will be aired soon. Prior to airing the interview, I had to rant about another CKCU show because they talked about Hong Kong movies. That show was The Drunken Master Review. It was sort of ranting what I thought about Jackie Chan's New Police Story.
It was unexpected to get an extra half hour because the incoming host was busy with something.
Here's the playlist for Audio Sensory Resuscitation – link
Here's the playlist for my show – link.
Press play to listen to the entire show or you can listen to the audio stream through iTunes.
Another option is listening to my show if you want to know about my rant on Jackie Chan, The Drunken Master Review and the songs I played.
The Wooden Sky interview, press play to listen or download it. You can now stream it through iTunes or any other media players.

Nightwood at Bands Undone, May-Jun & Wednesday's Radio Show – S05E32
I had the opportunity to check out Nightwood at Bands Undone on Monday, January 18, 2010. It would be the first Bands Undone for 2010 and another unique performance because they were singing their stripped down versions of their songs. The band is from Montreal, Quebec and they have been together for about 10 years. Talk about how time flies by so quickly.
There will be an audio interview with Nightwood coming sometime next month as I am still backlogged from other interviews from November and December. All I will say that it will be a funny and interesting interview when it will be aired.
You can view the photos from the Flickr link.
Video is available at this link and also available on YouTube.

May-Jun on Audio Sensory Resuscitation at CKCU-FM – S05E31
I had an opportunity to give the host of Audio Sensory Resuscitation a guest on the show. It's the first time for him and myself to having a guest perform live on the radio show. The previous Wednesday (Jan. 6) would of been his first show of the new decade but he got sick and was unable to do so. Luckily, it was my first radio show of 2010. We had May-Jun on the show and she got to play her live on the radio and there were giveaways on the show for the lucky people who got to call in. We also talked about what she does when she's not in music mode and also promoting her free show at Zaphod Beeblebrox on January 18, 2010.
Even though, it did not make the cut on the Bands Undone video for Sadie Hell (she's now a member of the band), I got to remind May-Jun about the blue guitar she owns and I won't mention too much because you have to listen to it (barring no volume problems).
Here's hoping May-Jun reads this part. I didn't get a chance to ask her on-air about a certain music genre if she knew about it. There were three songs I had wish to play but due to time, there was no need. Here's the links of the songs I kind of wanted to play, link #1, link #2 (the 2 are by the same singer) and link #3 (not the best quality). It's not a big deal that I didn't ask, but hoping you like those songs. I am not sure if you were influenced by that music genre. I was also listening to those songs when I was on the bus to CKCU/Carleton University.
Here's a link from her MySpace on her fun times.
The playlist of the show is at this link. If you want to find out what songs she played, you can also download her music at http://may-jun.bandcamp.com/.
You can listen to the show by pressing play or you can download it (Don't forget to save as after the audio is downloaded).
Note: There might be volume issues throughout the audio. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Here's the video of May-Jun and host, Mike dancing around to this song called Sweet Music. Here's the YouTube version for anyone who's having trouble viewing on Vimeo.

Starting 2010 With Doctor Who and Sadie Hell – S05E30
It's now 2010 and I started off the new year by watching Doctor Who. It was part 2 of The End of Time and also the end of David Tennant's stint as the Time Lord and the show's head writer, Russell T. Davies. Ever since Doctor Who returned to the airwaves in 2005, they have been coming out with the Christmas specials. The Christmas specials have become a tradition for myself because there's not much happening on Christmas day. This one is very important because in 2009, there was no full series of Doctor Who because Tennant was off acting on stage. There were the four specials and the final two were David Tennant's final adventure and swan song. Here's an image I put up and it's from the ending where he regenerates. It's a sad scene watching the Doctor go into regeneration. Doctor Who fans like myself have been fond of Tennant, it's just hard to see him leave the role. I'm going to miss the brown pinstripe suit (there's also the blue pinstripe suit), the Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers (I will continue to wear them no matter what), the glasses he occasionally wore and the sonic screwdriver.
Overall, the 2nd part of The End of Time was excellent. As non-spoiler as I can be, the acting among the cast was superb. Seeing the emotions of Tennant as The Doctor clings to his death was just strong and emotional. It was touching to watch the companions of previous seasons mark their farewell as they won't be coming back for future episodes. The words, I don't want to go will probably linger on for awhile because it's so heartbreaking and us fans will have to move on that Tennant is no longer the Doctor.
I can't wait for the Spring when Matt Smith (Eleventh Doctor) takes over for Doctor Who.
How could I not forget to mention that it's wonderful to see another "iconic" British character (well, actor) appear in the show. I know Timothy Dalton did two James Bond movies. It was nice to see two famous British character sort of meet face to face. I know it's silly of me to imagine James Bond meeting Doctor Who.
Since I wanted to embed the YouTube clip, here's the link to the preview of Doctor Who Series 5.
It looked like the finale scored 10.4 million viewers in the UK. Thus ends the David Tennant years on Doctor Who.
The First Radio Show of 2010 – Another Themed Show to Wrapup the Holidays
Here is the first radio show of 2010 (on January 6). Started with Sadie Hell, played a new Basia Bulat song (album to be released on January 26, 2010), and almost ending with Doctor Who (again). I played the best of the 2000s. It was basically my picks throughout 2000 and I had to change my song choices due to the mainstream music that I'm not supposed to play regularly. In irony, I played several British hits from the 2000s and it seems like a few people are starting to remember S Club 7. I will resume the interviews for next Wednesday.
Playlist is up on CKCU's website at this link.

Roasted Beets - To Wrap or Not To Wrap
unwrapped! I steam mine for a bit, so they take less time, and roast with olive oil... (or I slice really really thin - think chip-like - toss them in olive oil and pepper, and roast them... they get crunchy and delicious! you have to watch them, though, they tend to burn all of a sudden) mmmm...w/e you decide, enjoy them!
I wrap -- unless you peel them and cut them up, I find that the outsides get too leathery if they're not wrapped. If you wrap them, then the peel slips right off and the beets are silky and tender.

re: beetlebug
I made beet greens for the first time last night. I fried just a little bacon and then tossed some minced garlic and red onion in and sauteed. I threw in the beet greens for a bit until they wilted, salted and peppered and then added a splash of balsalmic vinegar right before serving. I didn't find them bitter at all.
re: foxy fairy
If you like your roasted beets with blue cheese, you'll love them with wasabi goat cheese.
We live near Capriole Farm--they make fresh goat cheese with wasabi. I've made it at home when I can't readily buy Capriole--it takes a lot of wasabi paste, and I added a bit of horseradish from a jar to boost its zing.
I just throw mine with the skin on (hopefully all are the same size so they cook evenly) on a baking dish and put them in 375-400F oven. No wrapping, no oil, nothing. I test them with a fork, when soft inside I take them out let them cool down. The rest is done using rubber gloves :)))))
After all this, I made roasted beets for lunch. Yummo! Don't crucify me for my Rachel Ray reference. Just for this once, TRY to be kind and gracious.
Here's my point. I think if you wrap, the beets will lean more towards "steamed" and if you don't wrap they will be more roasted. Roasting, I think will result in more development of sugars. I think the flavor will be richer and more complex. Beets are great, and have a lot of sugar, so either way you can't go wrong. I lean more towards unwrapped for additional flavor, but wrapping, I'm sure is good too.
For me, it all depends on what I am using them for. For salads, I wrap individually in foil and roast at 450, then peel. Ditto if I want to eat them cold or have leftovers. As others mentioned, wrapping is more like steaming. It preserves their color and results in juicier beets.
To eat on their own in their unadulterated glory, unwrapped. Carmelized yummines.
Enjoy the beets!
Unwrapped- but always in a "salt bed"-that way the juices don't stain my roasting pans. They come out great- a trick from my restaurant days. Use a box of kosher salt to line to bottom of your pan and then nestle the beets in the salt. I reuse the salt(save in a plastic bag after each use). This is the best way to roast whole root vegetables, in my opinion- and no, they are not overly salty...

text: Italian Alps Dramatic, knife-edged monoliths jutting violently from the earth as if ejected from hell by mischievous devils, sweet flower-laden meadows watched over by lazy cows and pretty ponies, energetic pavement twisting up stunning passes. Yes, the Dolomites have always called out to me. Rolling through picturesque Santa Cristina, a typical Sudtirolian tourist villagio. In 1980, my new bride, Sharon, and I took our VW camper bus into the giant stone Italian Alps for the first time. Unfortunately, our schedule pulled us away before we were able to fully satisfy our longing to dwell in the stillness and stunning power of these pale mountains. What followed were years of raising kids and going to work in our mow-the-lawn, drive-the-minivan, run-the-kids-to-soccer lives. All the time, the Dolomites were still calling. With the kids grown, we managed to book a BMW 1200 GSA to do an Italian Alps photo shoot in 2006. A dark and dense curtain of rain embraced the Dolomites at the time, so we photographed Switzerland instead. Later, Harley came up with a sparkling new Ultra Classic for the Dolomites, but like a nighttime toothache, the dreaded rain came back. We took the Harley to the sunny French Alps instead to take the photos. At the top of every pass is a spot to grab some refreshments and socialize When planning this trip, however, we arranged no back-up venue. If need be, we would just grimly stay in rainy Northern Italy for a week and hope for a sunny day. Sharon booked us an apartment in a pretty mountain town called Santa Cristina. This would not be another 4000-kilometer journey dodging rainstorms; it would be an exploring-from-a-base camp ride. Let's Get It On Sharon picked the Italian village, Santa Cristina, as our base, not because of its reputation for skilled woodcarvers, but for its status as a sunshiny mountain village. We allowed ourselves to hope for good weather. The apartment would give us plenty of space, secure parking, and a chance to save money by preparing most of our own meals. Nearly every pass would be taken on a lightly loaded bike. Sharon's in charge of the photos and trip planning; I get to pick the bike. This time, we got the dream motorcycle for alpine two-up riding: a BMW K 1600 GTL. The six-cylinder, 160-horsepower rocket even has a setting for rain, so it would be a blast even if we had to ride through a waterfall. I also selected serious rain gear for us. Sharon wore her trusty BMW Streetguard 3 suit that really does what it claims to do: keep her warm and dry in the rain and cool in the heat. My friend, Scott Russell at BMW of Western Oregon, warned me that the BMW Rallye 3 suit was fabulous, but not great in downpours. I disregarded his advice and picked up a black one. He was right—although it kept me completely dry, the waterproof parts are worn under the tough exterior panels, so water can collect at low points. Since the K 1600 has heated seats, I now know what it's like to ride in a warm puddle. Still, if I could buy any gear, I'd get the same suit. The fit is perfect, and it otherwise has all the right features for me. Besides, most of my riding is not in the rain. Some people say the word 'Dolomite' means Pale Mountains. Digging Into the Dolomites We arrived at the BMW factory under Munich's cloudy summer skies. After packing the luggage compartments, we looked at each other. Here we go again, about to launch ourselves into foreign traffic patterns on an unfamiliar bike. Are we crazy? After exchanging smiles, we agreed; we're crazy. Adrenaline pumping and hoping we didn't wobble as we left the parking lot, we blasted off on the four-hour ride to Santa Cristina. We both expected the clouds to darken as we approached the Dolomites. Like getting your stomach muscles ready for a punch, we tightened up as we pulled onto the no-speed-limit German autobahn. 1 | 2 | 3 | » | View Full Article By Bruce Hansen Enjoyed this Post?

What Recovery? Two Thirds of Middle-Age Workers Say They Can't Afford to Retire
An increasing number of Americans plan to work well into their golden years.
Older workers may become an increasing drag on some businesses, as their salaries and insurance rates tend to be higher.
The share of American workers who plan to delay retirement has grown dramatically in just two years, according to a new report.
In 2012, 62 percent of 45-to 60-year-olds reported plans to delay retirement, up from just 42 percent in 2010, according to survey results from the Conference Board, a business membership and research group. Survey respondents cited declines in home prices, job losses, and salary reductions all as factors in delaying retirement. Fully 62 percent of respondents last year said the loss of work or salary contributed to the delay, compared to 48 percent in 2010. Likewise, 62 percent cited a decline in housing values, up from 42 percent in 2010.
In addition, factors such as increasing life spans and an increase in the Social Security retirement age are likely also contributing to workers' plans to retire later.
[RELATED: Best Places to Retire for Under $40,000]
That may portend a poorer quality of life for older Americans, as they feel themselves forced to work well into their golden years. It also may mean troubles for younger workers hoping to advance their careers.
"I do hear anecdotally from companies that the promotion lines are a bit logged, and it's hard to promote younger people to senior positions," says Gad Levanon, director of macroeconomic research at the Conference Board and one of the report's authors.
In addition, he says, older workers may be a drag on some business' bottom lines, as they tend to be more expensive both to employ and to insure.
Still, it is easy to overestimate the detrimental economic effects of an aging workforce. For example, there is not yet overwhelming evidence that a glut of older workers is pushing out younger workers and contributing to unemployment, says Levanon.
[READ: 12 Ways to Increase Your Social Security Payments]
In addition, in some industries, older employees remaining on the payrolls may be a net positive.
"In some cases I think it's even good, because in some industries, there's a large concentration of older workers" who are very necessary to operations, he says. He points to power and utility companies as examples of places that may experience a "brain drain" if older workers retire before enough skilled young workers come in to take their places.
Though the uptick in workers planning on delaying retirement has accelerated, it is also important to note that the trend of delaying retirement has been going on for more than a decade. The report notes that the share of people age 55 and older who are working has grown steadily, from around 12 percent in the mid-1990s to around 22 percent today.

Washington is tops when it comes to growing pears.
More pears are grown here than anywhere else in the nation, and we do it well, according to Pear Bureau Northwest.
In 2011, 1,200 growers produced a bumper crop at 457,000 tons.
(2011s) crop was the largest on record since the Pear Bureau began keeping records over 90 years ago, said Cristie Mather, director of communications for the bureau, which was established in 1931 to promote, advertise and develop markets for fresh pears grown in Washington and Oregon.
The states growers also helped make the U.S. the third-largest producer of pears in the world. Only Argentina and China produce more, and Argentina beats us only by a smidgen. Some years, were the second-largest pear producer, Mather said.
Mather said the 2012 crop was estimated to be down slightly, about 6 percent from 2011.
In 2012, Pear Bureau Northwest estimated growers would harvest 424,080 tons of Bartletts, Bosc, green Anjou and other summer/winter pears. About 32,164 tons of those pears will be from growers in the Mid-Columbia, with another 137,918 tons from orchards in Yakima Valley.
Richard Schell, who sells his cousins Bartlett and Red Spice pears at Schells Produce in Toppenish, said hes noticed a 10 percent or 15 percent increase in the sale of pears in past couple of years.
People are eating healthier and looking for ways to use fruits. They read Sunset magazine and get ideas or watch the cooking shows on television, he said.
In the Northwest, 10 varieties of pears are commercially grown, though there are a few others that youll find only at farmers markets and produce stands, Mather said. Pear harvest begins in August and winds up sometime in October.
The Bartletts, red Bartletts and Starkrimson come first. Theyre what growers call summer pears, Mather said. The others green Anjou, red Anjou, Bosc, Comice, Concorde, foresee and Seckel are harvested later and are called winter pears.
The top three varieties grown in Washington and Oregon are green Anjou, which made up about 54 percent of the total 2012 crop, and Bartlett and Bosc pears, which yielded about 21 percent and 15 percent, respectively.
Pears are unique among fruits. Theyre one of the few that dont ripen well on the tree. Growers have found that picking them while mature but still green yields a better product. They measure the firmness and sugar content of the fruit, and when those two things are just right, they harvest, Mather said.
After harvest, the pears are put in a cooler where the starches in the fruit slowly continue converting into sugar. Then, when the pears are taken out of the cooler, they ripen as they warm up, she said.
Thats what sets United States pears apart from imported pears. Not all countries handle pears like us. If youve ever bought ripe pears at the grocery store and were disappointed in the texture and flavor, it was likely an import, she said.
To ripen a pear, just set it out on the counter. Theyll ripen in five or six days, Schell said.
What confuses some people is only a few pears change color as they ripen. Bartletts go from green to yellow and red Bartletts and Starkrimson get a brighter red.
The rest dont change color as obviously. To check for ripeness, press on the neck gently. If that part of the pear feels soft, then its ripe and sweet, she said.

Misfits series 4 episode 6 review
Misfits is back on fire with this eventful powers-heavy episode. Here's Caroline's review...
This review contains spoilers.
That's more like it! After five weeks of feeling generally sluggish and out of ideas, Misfits has brought back the old creativity, whacky powers, and mixture of funny/gruesome/scary that made the show so special in the first place. While there's still an imbalance between soap opera-ish relationship drama and the genre elements that set it apart, we at least get a surprising and compelling underlying threat to complement the characters' various mishaps. You'll never look at Alice in Wonderland's white rabbit the same again.
Along with the previewed bunny, we also have a guy who can project the number of your sexual partners onto your forehead, and a lot of awkward conversations ensue. The dynamic between the four (soon to be five) remaining cast members also works better here, with everything condensed into the couple of hours they spend at "the most insane house party" Finn has ever been to in his "sh*tty little life". A new misfit also gets her introduction, although brief, and we'll have to wait and see what Abby brings to the show in series four's closing two weeks.
The party is obviously Rudy's idea, as we finally get to meet the oft-mentioned Saunders in the wardrobe of his own shindig. We're in Misfits land, so know by now that absolutely everyone has a power, and Saunders' is as weird and interesting as anything they've encountered over the last four years. What happens to a hardened druggie when a magical storm hits? Their hallucinations manifest in the real world. This is where the evil, yet dapper, bunny rabbit comes into play, and the panic that follows manages to be both frightening and hilarious in equal measure.
Starting the episode with just three characters, it first struck me how small our group has become, but the cast of central players seems to grow before our eyes this week. Alex might finally be integrated into the group, for example, as his secret is revealed near the end of the episode. With his own mission to find the transgender girl (now guy) who stole his manhood, I can't wait to see the whole gang enlisted in helping him reclaim what used to be his. Jess' reaction was sweet, and the episode expertly turned them into a couple we could root for, despite the daring peculiarity of their situation.
The numbers in general were a genius plot device that forced the characters to discuss personal matters that would never have come up otherwise, even in a show as sex-obsessed as Misfits. Rudy wins the numbers game with ninety-nine, and spends the rest of the hour looking for number one hundred; Jess solidifies her vulnerable image with a number two; Alex arouses suspicious with a relatively high forty-eight, and Finn is the only one who manages to add to his resume, going from one to two with a random funeral-attendee at Rudy's encouragement. In short, it showed off different sides to the characters, with Rudy possibly even finding himself a future girlfriend.
Said girlfriend's introduction is purely set-up for next week's adventure, and her mad dash for the door mid-flirt must have something to do with her or someone else's power. On that note, while it's nice to see good ideas when it comes to weekly guest star's abilities, the show really seems to have dropped the idea of our main characters being superheroes of any kind. It may be a reaction to the comic-book infused storyline of Simon and Alisha, and separates the series from the three that went before, but it's pushing the show further and further outside the sci-fi box it's always sat on the edge of.
But this episode is vintage Misfits, with a great 'villain', brilliant one-liners from all the cast, and some genuine character development to go along with it. I'm not so sure about Abby as of yet, and thought it odd that her appearance was teased in the opening credits, but am definitely appreciative of an increased female presence to help Jess out. Next week looks Rudy-centric, which usually means it'll be a good 'un.

I thought Abby was brilliant! After last weeks episode, I wasn't so sure about the chemistry between the characters but after seeing this episode there's just something about Abby that ignites a spark between the group and with the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse on the way, it can only get better! Also am I the only one that noticed the girl Finn got with from the funeral did not recognise him when him and Rudy went back there? Something was up with that because that whole scene was set up purely for that moment! Mr. Overman is deffinitely up to something there and I can't wait to see what it is!
Oh and my favourite scene in that episode was the one at the end with Abby, Rudy and Finn on the roof! It's nice to see crude Rudy can be sincere sometimes :].
Alex's conquests were 46, not 48.
My husband and I assumed Abby and the girl Rudy met at the funeral are the same person / share a consciousness? She did the cinderella thing just as Abby was waking up, then Abby seemed quite intent on making herself unconscious with lots of alcohol; but perhaps we just watch too many genre shows and are reading too much into it! (but we totally called Alex's 'issue').
I just hope they get to kill the probation worker by the end of the series!
You could be on to something there! Hopefully we'll find out in next weeks episode :].
Not really, she was pretending, showing how Finn was let down that a 'special' moment for him was nothing to her, something she was embarressed of and even tried to hide
are we connectect telepathically? same thing here! their noses are very similar
This was my immediate reaction as well to Abbey/Nadine. It seemed pretty similar to Rudy's power too - hence the connection he felt in someone who was also dealing with duel personalities. They also dropped in a scene in next weeks preview where it appeared that Abbey was following Nadine along with the rest of the gang - which may well be a red herring.
i bet Abby's "powah" is that the more she drinks, the more sober she gets. when she runs out of alcohol, it reverses until she passes out. i am excited it looks like she will give Greg the probation officer some grief, that could prove delightful - but i really hope they don't kill him! he's been the best thing going, this season. so relieved the show seems to be getting back on track, after such an awful couple of eps in the beginning.
Did anyone else notice that Abby seemed to suddenly be pregnant in next Weeks teaser?

Mostert, Andre (2010) Developing a systematic model for the capturing and use of African oral poetry : the Bongani Sitole experience. Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
Oral traditions and oral literature have long contributed to human communication.The advent of arguably the most important technology, the written word, altered human ability to create and develop. However, this development for all its potential and scope created one of the most insidious dichotomies. As the written word developed so too the oral word became devalued and pushed to the fringes of societal development. One of the unfortunate outcomes has been a focus on the nomenclatures associated with orality and oral tradition, which although of importance, has skewed where the focus could and should have been located,namely, how to support and maintain the oral word and its innate value to human society in the face of what has become rampant technological developments. It is now ironic that technology is creating a fecund environment for a rebirth of orality. The study aims to mobilize technauriture as a paradigm in order to further embed orality and oral traditions to coherently embrace this changing technological environment. The central tenet of the study is that in order to enhance the status of orality the innate value embodied in indigenous knowledge systems must be recognized. Using the work of Bongani Sitole, an oral poet, as a backdrop the study will demonstrate a basic model that can act as a foundation for the effective integration of orality into contemporary structures. This is based on work that I published in the Journal of African Contemporary Studies (2009). Given the obvious multi-disciplinary nature of the material the work covers a wide cross section of the debate, from questions of epistemology and knowledge in general in terms of oral traditions, through the consciousness and technical landscapes, via the experience with Sitole's material to issues of copyright and ownership. This work has also been submitted for publication together with my supervisor as a co-author. The study intends to consolidate the technauriture debate and lay a solid foundation to support further study.

Your Dec. 14 news article "Triangle schools look to boost safety" might have been better headlined "Your children are not as safe as you might think."
During two recent visits to my children's elementary school, I was able to walk through an unlocked door, through a vestibule and down the corridor to the cafeteria without coming into contact with an adult. This made me concerned enough that I spoke with several people: the school principal; Russ Smith, the Wake County director of security; Susan Evans, District 8 Wake County school board member; and an N&O reporter. Here's what I learned:
• Yes, $7.5 million was set aside early this year for school districts to hire resource officers, and, at least in my children's school, no resource officers have been hired.
• Funding for things such as key-card entry systems, alarms, door buzzers, panic buttons etc., will be available to upgrade security systems but probably at the earliest summer 2014. Installations will be completed through 2015.
Recently another school shooting occurred in Arapahoe, Colo. My question is, What is the transition plan to keep our children safe until the schools can be official fitted with security features? When will all schools have security equipment installed? Can the PTA raise funds for a security system and later be reimbursed by the county? What is the policy (and is it being enforced) for locking school doors? Can schools use parent volunteers as "greeters" to monitor entry into the schools?
We don't want to find ourselves in the shoes of a Sandy Hook parent. The harsh reality is it can happen in our schools. We all want our children to be safe and secure at our schools. It is our duty as parents to ensure security happens today.

How to Find a Groovy Volunteer Job
Seven tips for finding the right community-service position.
Looking for a volunteer job? If you're like many people, you might want to volunteer to help get experience for your resume, build your network of contacts, or simply do good in your community.
But while people often think it will be simple to find a taker for an offer of free work (who would turn down free help, after all?), finding a satisfying volunteer job isn't always easy. Here are seven things that will help you find the right role for you.
1. Be realistic about how much time you have to devote to volunteering. Would-be volunteers often over-estimate how much time they're willing or able to donate and make commitments they end up not keeping. Before an organization starts counting on your support, be sure you're not being overly ambitious about the amount of time you'll lend. You might want to start small and work your way up.
2. Realize that "free work" isn't entirely free to the organization. People often think charities should accept any offers to volunteer, but in reality, supervising and training volunteers takes time and resources. So realize that not every charity is set up for volunteers, or prioritizes bringing them on board. Don't be discouraged if you encounter that—just move on to a different group instead.
3. If a group seems disorganized or unwelcoming, move on. Some organizations say they want volunteers but are unprepared to actually utilize them or don't appreciate their efforts. There are many, many worthy organizations that are grateful for volunteers and know how to use them; search out those instead.
4. Be straightforward about what you'd like to do. You're most likely to end up with the type of volunteer assignment you'd like if you're up-front about what type of work you'd like to do. For instance, say, "I'm hoping to use my background in writing and editing. Do you have volunteer opportunities involving those skills?"
5. Do be prepared for some menial work. Charities often use volunteers for jobs like stuffing envelopes, at least until those volunteers have proven themselves. That's because many volunteers flake out soon after signing up; in fact, many nonprofit managers complain that the majority of people who offer to volunteer never show up. So it's understandable that nonprofits are often wary of handing off more important work until they know you better.
6. Don't just look at large, established organizations. When you think of volunteering, you might think of established organizations that you're familiar with. But such organizations are well-staffed generally and may use volunteers only for small tasks like stuffing envelopes or data entry. By contrast, new and small organizations are hungry for help, and will often welcome volunteer assistance with substantive, meaty projects—from writing grant applications to organizing events. You'll often get much more interesting experience at new, smaller organizations.
7. Check online volunteer resources for leads. Your city or county government may have an online database of local organizations' volunteer needs, or check out volunteer.gov for a wide range of volunteer jobs around the country.

FORT VALLEY -- Bryan McPherson thinks of himself as an old-fashioned kind of guy pastoring an old-fashioned Southern Baptist church.
My dad is more contemporary than I am, he said.
At 33 years old, McPherson has been pastor of Chamlee Memorial Baptist Church for two and a half years.
Its the greatest place on Earth, McPherson said of the church. I love it. When we refer to the church we refer to it as the Chamlee family, and thats just what it is -- one big family. Ive never been around a group of folks who are as humble, friendly and as generous as people are here. It feels like family.
McPherson said he went home one night recently and asked his wife, Melodye, What do you do when you realize youre living your dream?
Its true, he said. I get to do what I love every day. I get to build furniture in my woodshop, tie my (fishing) ties and best of all, I get to minister to people who genuinely love one another and the Lord. It seems like every day of my life is the greatest day of my life. We arent really anywhere near perfect, but it seems pretty close.
Aside from these hobbies and his vocation, plus tending chickens in his backyard and hunting and fishing with buddies and church members, McPherson is an avid gardener. He said he has 80 tomato plants this year, and a lot of the resulting tomatoes will be shared with others in and out of the church. He said the same is true with many others in the congregation who share the fruits of their gardens and their lives.
Though the church has ministries for various groups and an especially thriving seniors ministry, McPherson said Chamlee Memorial doesnt have a lot of outreach activities. Instead, he said, the congregation is better at just being good neighbors involved in the life of their community and the hurts and cares of friends.
One of the greatest outreach ministries we have is the way our Chamlee family really puts on the Ritz when a family is experiencing grief from a death, he said. That may sound kind of funny, but its true. Its not unusual for churches to take food and help families in that situation, but here, I dont know, theres a special genuineness and caring. Its part of the humility I mentioned. And people are always willing to pray with you, not just for you. Its part of being involved, being a family.
McPherson said he cant get away for the idea of being old fashioned -- in a good way.
We believe in the good old Gospel message and good old Southern hospitality, he said. We dont do anything out of as sense of obligation but out of an urgency of love for one another and others. We dont shun people.
McPherson said he believes its noteworthy that the church has only had eight pastors in its 56 years since its founding in 1957. Being a young man, he said he also thinks its interesting the church has never had a pastor that wasnt on Medicare. He said the minister he replaced retired from the church at 82, and that was typical.
I think a lot of people here think of me as their son or grandson, but Ive never had the feeling they were thinking, If he was just a little older .
McPherson is originally from Sylvester and received a bachelors degree in biblical studies from the Baptist College of Florida in Graceville, Fla. He is currently completing a masters degree in Christian leadership through Liberty Universitys (Lynchburg, Va.) online studies program.
While studying in Graceville, McPherson served as associate and youth pastor in Enterprise, Ala., and as pastor in Sampson, Ala. After graduating, he served as pastor at Northside Baptist Church in Quitman before coming to Chamlee Memorial Baptist.
He and Melodye have two children, Carter, 6, and Lydia, 4.
I think of it like this, McPherson said. We exist to magnify the love of Jesus and demonstrate it here and to the nations through acts of love, service and generosity. I believe the church was so important that Christ died for it. The visible, tangible image of the love of Christ can be found in the church, in me, in others. You could say my vision is to see people happy in the Lord and in one another. Sometimes I think we get the whole evangelism thing wrong. Jesus said he would be known by the love we Christians have for one another. If we get that right and then go and tell -- and show -- others a really genuine love then it will definitely pique their curiosity.

In the not-too-distant future, your smartphone may be able to help you see through walls, cardboard boxes, paper and even clothing.
Scientists from the University of Texas at Dallas have designed an imaging chipthat measures invisible terahertz light waves that is small enough to fit on a smartphone and inexpensive enough that normal people could actually afford to buy one.
Terahertz waves can be detected through opaque surfaces such as paper, walls and clothing -- enabling a person with an accurate terahertz measuring device to see beyond what our visible eye can see.

Olympics Trivia
July 25, 2012
Opening Ceremony is This Friday, July 27th!
By: Kyrie Collins, Highlands Ranch Macaroni Kid Publisher
In this article you'll find some fun facts about the Olympic Games. For even more Olympic coverage, read our articles AFTER this week's events! And if you want to experience a bit of Olympic history yourself, then visit the
Centennial Olympic Games Museum
at the Atlanta History Center!
The First
The first recorded Olympic Games took place in Ancient Greece in 776 BC. The only event was a "stade," a foot race about 600 feet in length. This is where the word "stadium" originates. The athletes participated nude or "gymnos." This is where the word "gymnasium" originates.
The Countries
205 different nations will be competing in the 2012 Summer Olympics. Greece is the only nation to have participated under its own flag in every modern Summer Olympic Games.
London Calling
2012 will be London's third time hosting the Olympics, more than any other city. The United States has hosted more Olympic games than any other country, with a total of eight in six different cities.
The Official Olympic Flag
The five rings on the Olympic Flag represent the five continents from which the athletes hail. They are interconnected to symbolize the friendship to be gained. The colors of the rings - blue, yellow, black, green, and red - were chosen because at least one of them appears on the flag of every country in the world.
The Motto
Citius, Altius, Fortius is Latin for Swifter, Higher, Stronger.
The Medals
The medals are designed for each Olympic Games by the host city's committee. Gold medals are actually 92-1/2% silver, covered in six grams of gold. Solid gold medals haven't been awarded since the 1912 Olympics.
It Was A Tie
In 1912, the light heavyweight wrestling final lasted nine hours. Neither wrestler gained an advantage over the other, so both received a silver medal.
Cancelled Games
No Olympic Games were held in 1916, 1940, or 1944 due to World War I and World War II. Major boycotts occurred in 1980 and 1984 because of the Cold War.
The Events
To be considered for inclusion in the Olympics, an event must be "widely practiced" by men in at least 75 countries on four continents and by women in at least 40 countries on three continents. (Who knew that the hammer throw was so darn popular worldwide?)
Length of a Marathon
Many people mistakenly believe the length of a marathon (26.2 miles) dates back to 490 BC when a Greek soldier ran from Marathon to Athens to announce that the Greeks defeated the invading Persians. However, the distance between Marathon and Athens is approximately 25 miles. It wasn't until the 1908 Summer Olympics, which were also held in London, that the queen asked that the marathon begin at Windsor Castle so the Royal Children could see the start of the race and end below the Royal Box at the stadium. The distance from the castle to the stadium was 26 miles and 385 yards. For some strange reason, this became the standardized length of a marathon in 1924.
Strangest Event
Club Swinging was an event in 1904 and 1932. Competitors swung a club decorated with ribbons around their bodies and heads. This event is considered by some to be the grandparent of modern-day Rhythmic Gymnastics.

Definition: Self concept refers to the way a person thinks about their abilities in a variety of facets of life, including academics, athletics and social interactions.
Compared to earlier in childhood, tweens have a relatively rich self view. Due to increasing experiences and improving cognitive skills, self concept continues to grow as kids move into high school.
Self concept is related to self esteem, but the terms are not synonymous. A person's concept of himself affects self esteem. In other words, self concept refers to a broader understanding of self than self esteem. In addition, self esteem is based on an evaluation of one's own abilities, while self concept is less judgmental in nature.

A 16-year-old male juvenile was taken into custody after reportedly indiscriminately striking people at the Wilmette Baha'i Temple on Sat., April 20, police reports state.
The subject, police reports state, walked up to a female, pushed her and then started punching her in the head. A male subject was pushed when he attempted to intervene.
Officers arrived at the Baha'i Temple at 7:23 p.m. The subject was taken into custody at Linden Ave. on the bridge. He was transported to Evanston Hospital for drug detox after the incident.
The victims, both residents of Minnesota, did not want to sign complaints.
"Juvenile officers will be following up on that," Wilmette Police Chief Brian King said.
As the case involves juveniles, no more information is available at this time.
