@patty, you are right, that's part of the problem some people feel that because we have a freedom of…Read More speech law in this country it gives them the right to do and say what they want without knowing the repercussions or the meaning of certain symbols and in this case what a certain flag stands for. to those students i say, "a mind is a terrible thing to waste"

Its been said the most sophisticated form of evil is not hate - but hate disguised as love. That's…Read More exactly what I see in the PC police, and all the exaggerated outrage about racism. The biggest racists these days are the ones screaming about it all over the place with the intention of bullying people - like Judith Johnson is doing. I've been called race slurs and I just saw it as the others persons problem. I didn't expect the national guard to come. I would just as soon know what people think than suppress them via intimidation. "People convinced against their will are of their opinion still". When people make a big fuss over names they actually teach people that they can get power over people by using them. If people tell a bad joke and nobody laughs the joke teller feels embarrassed. People use names to get a reaction and hurt people. When they don't get those reactions and instead just feel observed for being fools it makes them self conscious. People shouldn't carry on and make such a fuss over names - especially when you can stand outside Peekskiill High and hear all the same names in every other sentance. As for immigrants - they actually steal opportunity from black Americans. They've taken the jobs, the affordable housing, benefits etc. Are they nice people? Yes - nicer than a lot of Americans. However a country cant foolishy allow millions of people to just break in and absorb resources and for benefits. With 90 million people having fallen from the workforce America doesn't need millions of people being allowed to break in so that McDonalds can have cheaper labor and Democrats can get votes. No country can survive such lunacy - and if you look America is falling apart. Common sense is gone and people confuse being good with being nice. Being good means observing sensible principles. Being "nice" means ignoring what is prudent and spoiling people to appear good, generous etc. The illegals know Americans are fools. They can't believe the gov pays people who dont work - and that they can just walk in and get all kinds of free free free. You think the countries these people come from would be happy to see Americans break in by the millions? They would be screaming murder etc.

@joshua tanner, Once again i have to disagree with you, there are more people who are born and raise…Read More in this country who get all free,free, free, like you say, and as far as them taking all the jobs, that's because some of the people born in this country do not like to get dirty or work for minimum wage or are just plain lazy so the immigrants will do the work and not worry about getting dirty or if they are going to make more money then the next person. Once again proving that, this is the land of opportunity and that's what they are doing, getting the opportunity that some who was born in this country didn't want, I too have been called racist names but i'm like the old cartoon POPEYE who's famous line was,"I AM' WHO I AM ,AND THAT'S WHO I AM", and if you don't like me , that's your problem,but you are going to RESPECT me. I like to say, let's not ignore the issue because it is a serious problem and if we continue to ignore it will only get worst. Joshua,i like to ask you,do you think that what the young folks did in Mahopac was wrong?. I'm not one to holler RACISM at a drop of a dime, but this is serious and it should be dealt as such.
RyeBob March 5, 2014 at 06:56 pm
@Mark - couple of questions. First, on what do you base your assertion that the appropriate class…Read More size is 30:1? There's lots and lots of validated research showing that there are two clear cutoffs in teaching impact as enrollment is increased; one is around 12:1 and the next is around 22:1. 30:1 would make things cheaper in terms of salary but negatively affect teacher effectiveness, particularly for elementary and middle school.
Second, what is the basis for asserting ridiculous amounts are expended on school oriented sports? For my district, it's about 1% of spending. That too much?
Elsie March 8, 2014 at 09:54 am
Mark - be aware that the student:teacher ration has nothing to do with class size. Part of that…Read More ration includes art, music, phys. ed., librarians, social workers, speech teachers, special ed teachers, psychologists, RTI teachers, reading specialists, math teachers. To use a school in my grandchildren's district as an example. They have 530 students and 18 k-5 classrooms for an average class size of 29 which is VERY high. They also have 3 inclusion special ed teachers, a psychologist, social worker, music teacher, librarian, gym teacher, art teacher, speech teacher, reading teacher, 3 RTI teachers and who knows what else. So now their class size is reported as: 16 students per teacher. More goes on in a school than just general education classrooms.

School is supposed to be challenging and difficult. A good teacher knows strategies to help a child…Read More understand.
David February 13, 2014 at 06:54 pm
If there's more there than most students can learn, it means all students are being challenged and…Read More every student, with some emotional support, will learn all he or she can.
I am more concerned about the comments that what is learned in school is "sort of plain". I don't know what this means, it could mean that students are not being distracted with irrelevant fun activities which would be good, or it could mean that teaching is limited to what the slowest student can understand, which would not be good.
Common Core is not a curriculum but a set of standards. Then schools and other organization define curriculum to teach to the standards. If the curriculum is wrong, it's a matter of that implementation, not CC itself.
Harold1968 March 3, 2014 at 04:57 pm
Teachers don't want to be held accountable for the teaching, or lack of teaching, they provide.…Read More They're getting parents all riled up so CC is delayed and eventually killed. The teachers I know personally don't care about their students. They became teachers to work nine months of the year, get six figure salaries with two annual raises, retire in their 50's with $100,000+ annual pensions and free healthcare for life. Wake up taxpayers! We pay higher and higher taxes for teacher compensation while our kids fail miserably compared to the rest of the world. Bad teachers need to be fired without years of litigation, teachers need to teach our children at least 210 days each year, they need to retire at 67 like we do, they need to be switched to 401K plans like the rest of us, they need to pay for their own healthcare and get one annual raise based on inflation. Wake up New York, you're getting ripped off by the teachers union and the politicians they own.

As long as the public sector unions, specifically police and teachers, control every decision out…Read More local hacks make the taxpayer will lose.
The education our children receive is at the bottom when compared to the rest of the country. States with strong union representation are even lower so there is no link between salary levels and the quality of the education they receive and we the taxpayer pay for.
Harold1968 March 5, 2014 at 10:46 am
It's just a matter of time before New York reaches the point that Chicago, Detroit, Illinois,…Read More Stockton, San Diego, and many other places are now. Public employee compensation just isn't sustainable in the long term. DEMOCRATIC leadership in all of these union strongholds are saying the money just isn't there and "constitutionally protected pensions" aren't as ironclad as unions thought. A good start in New York would be to have all public sector employees switched to defined contribution plans and all retirees pay for their own healthcare. Long term solutions include eliminating teacher tenure, raising the retirement age for all public sector employees so they are in line with private sector employees, make NY a right-to-work state, eliminate the Triborough Amendment, extend the school year, eliminate two raises each year for teachers, and tie raises to inflation.

I have put two children through high school in several Westchester school districts, as well as…Read More having lived in Colorado where far few dollars were allocated for public education, to the great detriment of the systems and students in that state. I think the majority of the teachers our children have studied with, in both places, have been conscientious, intelligent and committed educators, and New York in particular has been blessed by high quality teaching in many of its schools. I think the schools could probably do a decent job working with the Common Core's emphasis on more rigorous thinking, if given the sufficient level of resources needed to train and support teachers in the course of the rollout. I do not have the sense that our state, with its often penny-wise and pound-foolish attitude toward holding back resources from school districts in need, such as by imposing a stifling property tax cap, has made this commitment in full, even as it has enforced the standardized evaluation measures that come with the curriculum. But I think local school districts are trying to catch up to the curriculum's demands. I wish them luck.
Harold1968 March 4, 2014 at 10:17 am
Taxpayers have been throwing money at the education system for decades while being told by…Read More the teachers union to "think of the children!". Ironically the more we give the teachers the worse our children do compared to the rest of the world. Taypayers are done with this charade. The tax cap is the only sanity in the county with the highest property taxes in America.

So let's keep following the democrats down the proverbial abyss??
Why is this country such a mess? Bitter republicans ?? How about, BHO? Does he get blamed for anything? Puhhhleeez
Rachelle Nardelli December 8, 2013 at 01:38 pm
There is no doubt that this policy and many others are flawed and poorly thought out but this is…Read More what we currently have to work with. Rather than complain, we should take the opportunity that the Parents for a Common Cause have presented and work with them to let our legislators know that we will not continue to follow them into the "abyss"

photos like this make me want to go back through all the photos i've liked and unlike them and then just like this one.
"I was called Kit from day one, really, I only found out my name was Christopher when I was 11. It was very strange, I went to school, and I remember that you had to do these tests to find out what set you're in—how clever you are. I put down "Kit Harington," and they looked at me like I was completely stupid, and they said, "No, you're Christopher Harington, I'm afraid." It was only then I learnt my actual name. That was kind of a bizarre existential crisis for an 11-year-old to have, but in the end I always stuck with Kit, because I felt that's who I was. I'm not really a "Chris."

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new method that can predict the behavior of players in online role-playing games with an accuracy up to 80 percent. The tool could be used by the game industry to develop new game content, or to help steer players to the parts of a game they will enjoy most, based on their gaming style. The team developed the data-driven predictive method by analyzing the behavior of 14,000 players in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft (WoW).
"We are able to predict what a player in a game will do based on his or her previous behavior, with up to 80 percent accuracy," says Brent Harrison, a Ph.D. student at NC State and co-author of a paper describing the research. "In a game like World of Warcraft, which is constantly developing new content, this could help guide content design decisions."
The researchers developed the new method by evaluating the task-based achievement badges that players earn in WoW. These achievements are awarded whenever a player accomplishes a specific goal or series of goals. The team collected data on the order in which gamers earned their achievement badges and then identified the degree to which each individual achievement was correlated to every other achievement. The researchers used that data to identify groups of achievements – called cliques – that were closely related. Those cliques could then be used to predict future behavior. It was also discovered that highly correlated achievements – or part of the same clique – do not necessarily have any obvious connection to the outside observer.
If a gaming company wants to improve a game, it has to make sure players will like the changes. This research can help with that decision, as it points to what kind of storylines and mechanics players like about the game already. The research could also apply to any setting where users are making a series of decisions. Since this is a data-driven modeling approach, it could be done on a large scale with minimum input from game designers.
The researchers' work will be presented in a paper titled "Using Sequential Observations to Model and Predict Player Behavior" at the Foundations of Digital Games Conference (June 29, 2011 to July 1, 2011) in Bordeaux, France.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
Please send this tool over to EA. Really please !!
Has to be the most interesting thing I've read today, it will prove useful to many game developers.
@Hitech0101 Yes! I agree, EA could really utilize this, haha.
I'll bet you could achieve the same results via guessing. The study clearly ignores initial bias.
Predicting what people will do based on a detailed analysis of their past actions in a setting which allows you a limited choice of actions, typically oriented around typical RPG elements?
Whoa, there is no spoon.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't RPG's just about getting better weapons to kill harder monsters to get better weapons so you can kill harder monsters? anyone see where I'm going with that?
I bet that other 20% is made up of the gamers that want a life... I'd like to see developers give them that

True that, but dont wait for miracles? lol xD
RPGs are a learned pattern anyway, this does not tell the observer what the gamer "wants" only what they think they should do next in the game.
Example- Kill mob > loot > Kil mob > loot > spend xp > goto next area > repeat
So what, I could have told them that without making a program.
Maybe the gamer is thinking "Damn this would be a good place for a minigame to kill the mob, or I wish you went to a magic castle to spent the xp I just gained" but no the program just tells you what we already know "gamers follow the pattern set out by the game"
proof of yahtzee's statement "WoW programs you"
its scary that MMO players are this predictable, almost like lab rats

No, those are MMOs.
Not to be confused with actual RPGs, in which you play a character with a certain role inside a story of some sort. MMOs take everything bad about RPGs and make you pay monthly for it, with the only "advantage" being able to talk to other people.

To be honest I'd be surprised if anything new or useful would come out of this that Blizzard would not be able to ascertain for themselves.
Sounds good but.....really? this will kill diversity, so...if you divide the 80% into the different kind of players..then you will realise that the thing that they want will be pointed to the players that has no life and not to the good ones....so for me its some kind of useless and if a company use this no mames they will exploit it for profit and not to develop something amazing....with this new toy for the industry, its a must to have somekind of organism that controls the way the companies exploit it...i dont know but this is only for the big group of players that they play because there is nothing more in their lifes...like COD....shoot...kill...die..respawn....shoot...die...respawn.
.die..respawn....and so on -
I can already tell you what gamers want no more F****** console ports!

50 Pinterest DIY Projects You Are Definitely Not Doing This Christmas
The holidays are upon us! Time to trim the tree and drink some cocoa. For crafty types, though, this is basically the Olympics. This is the main event, the reason they've trained so hard for so long. Pinterest is therefore flooded with impossibly intricate, over-the-top DIY projects.
But other than a few twee over-achievers, no one is actually going to try these. You will be too busy drinking eggnog until you fall over and combing Kmart for last-minute gifts. Read More

While a mascot is not necessarily the greatest symbol of culinary excellence, a good one can engender lifelong loyalty from potential patrons whether or not they're a kid when they first form the attachment. From a classic mascot with boyish charm to the latest symbol of renegade cooking, here are eight mascots we find endearing.

The Big Boy may have started in Glendale, but when I first drove across the country as an impoverished student close to 50 years ago, we ate at Big Boys from one coast to the other.The name changed from state to state, but the Big Boy was the Big Boy everywhere. I've never forgotten that in West Virginia, the bleu cheese dressing was the color of Thousand Island. Apparently it was the law that you had to put ketchup in everything there.

Huntington ranked among top 10 Midwest colleges
Huntington, Ind.—The 2008 U.S.News & World Report annual collegiate rankings has listed Huntington University as 7th among the Best Baccalaureate Colleges in the Midwest region.
Huntington also appears as No. 5 in the Best Values category for Baccalaureate Colleges in the Midwest. This ranking is based on the percentage of students receiving need-based grants, the average cost of tuition after receiving those grants and the average discount from the total cost.
For more than a decade, U.S.News & World Report has consistently ranked Huntington among the Midwest's best colleges. The 2008 edition of the magazines' guide to America's Best Colleges marks the 13th consecutive year that Huntington University has been listed among the top-tier schools in the region.
As one of the nation's top-ranked Christian colleges, Huntington offers more than 70 academic programs, including new bachelor's degrees in nursing, Spanish and Spanish education, digital media arts, economics and finance, political studies, social work, sports ministry and worship leadership. Huntington also offers master's degrees in education, counseling and ministry.
"There is a great deal of controversy swirling around the U.S.News & World Report rankings, but it has served as a good benchmark for us," said Dr. Norris Friesen, vice president and dean of the university. "I am pleased that we have surpassed our ranking from the previous year by nine places. These rankings reflect our commitment to providing an outstanding, Christ-centered, liberal arts education. We are excited to see the new programs we have launched mature and are looking forward to offering new majors in nursing and Spanish this fall."
U.S.News & World Report revised its categorization of schools for the 2008 guidebook. In 2007, Huntington was ranked 16th among the Best Comprehensive Colleges in the Midwest.
To rank schools, U.S.News first organizes colleges and universities by category and then ranks them within each group. Rankings are based on a wide range of criteria, including academic reputation, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, admissions selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving.
Several Indiana schools received accolades in the 2008 guidebook. Taylor University was ranked first among the Best Baccalaureate Colleges in the Midwest region. Following Huntington, Manchester College, Franklin College, St. Mary's-of-the-Woods College, Bethel College, Grace College and Seminary, St. Joseph's College and Tri-State University also were listed in the top tier.
Classes begin for Huntington University students on Aug. 27.
All U.S.News rankings will appear on the magazine's Web site (www.USNews.com). College-bound students can use the site to search for colleges and universities according to their own interests, fill out interactive worksheets and search for scholarship and financial aid information. The America's Best Colleges newsstand book and the weekly edition of U.S.News & World Report magazine (containing many of the rankings) will both go on sale Aug. 20.

J Am Diet Assoc. 1997 Dec;97(12):1377-81. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether reduced serum or plasma protein and micronutrient levels are common in children infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and whether these levels are different in children with growth retardation compared to those with normal growth. SUBJECTS: Children were separated into three groups: (a) HIV-infected with growth retardation (HIV + Gr); (b) HIV-infected with normal growth (HIV+); (c) HIV-uninfected with normal growth (HIV-). All children were afebrile and free of acute infection at the time of study. During a 24-hour stay in the Pediatric Clinical Research Unit, blood was drawn for analysis of total protein, albumin, zinc, selenium, and vitamin A levels; growth measurements were obtained; and dietary intake was assessed by 24-hour weighed food intake and 24-hour dietary recall. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Mean differences between groups were assessed by analysis of variance, and differences in the frequency of nutrient deficiency were determined by chi 2 analysis. RESULTS: Thirty-eight children between 2 and 11 years of age were studied: 10 HIV + Gr, 18 HIV+, and 10 HIV-. No statistically significantly differences were noted in mean levels of albumin, prealbumin, zinc, and selenium. Mean serum level of vitamin A was significantly higher in the HIV + Gr group than in the other two groups. There were no significant differences between groups in the frequency of deficiency for any nutrient studied. Mean energy and nutrient intake was similar among groups. APPLICATIONS/CONCLUSIONS: Abnormal serum or plasma protein or micronutrient levels were uncommon in this cohort of HIV-infected children, even in children with growth retardation. Routine monitoring of the level of proteins and micronutrients studied is unnecessary in the absence of specific clinical indicators of deficiency.

Abstract: Building energy efficiency is strongly linked to the operations and control systems, together with the integrated performance of passive and active systems. In new high quality buildings in particular, where these two latter aspects have been already implemented at the design stage, users' perspective, obtained through post-occupancy assessment, has to be considered to reduce whole energy requirement during service life. This research presents an innovative and low-cost methodology to reduce buildings' energy requirements through post-occupancy assessment and optimization of energy operations using effective users' attitudes and requirements as feedback. As a meaningful example, the proposed method is applied to a multipurpose building located in New York City, NY, USA, where real occupancy conditions are assessed. The effectiveness of the method is tested through dynamic simulations using a numerical model of the case study, calibrated through real monitoring data collected on the building. Results show that, for the chosen case study, the method provides optimized building energy operations which allow a reduction of primary energy requirements for HVAC, lighting, room-electricity, and auxiliary supply by about 21%. This paper shows that the proposed strategy represents an effective way to reduce buildings' energy waste, in particular in those complex and high-efficiency buildings that are not performing as well as expected during the concept-design-commissioning stage, in particular due to the lack of feedback after the building handover.
Keywords: building energy efficiency; dynamic simulation and validation; post-occupancy evaluation; equipment operations and management

Hugo Naturals Body Butter Mango -- 4 fl oz
It is much too fatty, leaving a shiny film on the skin. I have used other butters for the skin but none was so fat.
May 7, 2012
This shea butter is soft and smells wonderful. However, I don't think it smells anything like mango, I think it smells more like cherry and orange. But either way it is really nice.
December 9, 2011
Love it!
My skin takes a beating because I live in the desert & work as a mail carrier. I absolutely love this body butter! A little goes a long way. This stuff makes your skin so soft and has such a fresh, delicious smell. Really perks you up and quenches your skin.

Great Natural Effective Product
I love Hugo Naturals lotions, and this Body Butter is great for my cracked dry hands. I apply it on my hands at night and it really has helped with my dry hands, especially during winter. I love the mango orange scent and that it is a natural product. Just a tad greasy, but that's ok; I love that it's thick and softens my hands.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) Fort Worth police seized about 2.7 pounds of marijuana and $46,000 in the TCU-related drug sting that led to the arrests of four football players and a dozen other students, according to a report obtained by a newspaper.
Undercover officers also seized nine weapons during the six-month sting, according to the "after-action" police report obtained Wednesday by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram (http://bit.ly/ydGoM5) under the Texas Public Information Act. One was a rifle found at a fraternity house, the only weapon seized on campus, police said.
Police estimate the street value of the seized drugs at about $29,000, including 37 grams of prescription pills, 1.10 grams of cocaine and methamphetamines, and 5.3 grams of MDMA, also known generally as Ecstasy in pill form.
Police say 23 people were arrested and 10 more are expected to be taken into custody. Among those arrested last week were four Texas Christian University football players and 12 other students accused of selling drugs to undercover officers. Four former students also were arrested.
According to the Feb. 20 report, no drugs were found at the home shared by defensive tackle D.J. Yendrey and offensive tackle Ty Horn. A shotgun, 4 ounces of marijuana and paraphernalia [--] including pipes were among the items seized from the home of cornerback Devin Johnson. A half-ounce of marijuana, five pipes and a digital scale were found at the home of linebacker Tanner Brock, police said.
All students arrested have been "separated" from TCU, which means they are banned from campus, said spokeswoman Lisa Albert. But if they want to be reinstated, they must attend a disciplinary hearing where evidence is presented, she said.

Blastomycosis Risk FactorsAlthough almost anyone can become infected with the fungi, those at highest risk for blastomycosis are immunosuppressed individuals and those that live in or visit areas where the fungal spores are plentiful. Since the fungi prefer damp forested areas, people who are hunters, forestry workers, campers, and farmers are at higher risk to get blastomycosis. Blastomycosis can not be spread from person to person or animal to person. Next Page: Patient Comments & ReviewsThe eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Blastomycosis: |

Napravnik has been on horses since before she went to kindergarten and began her career as a jockey a few days after completing her junior year in high school. She won her first start.
Although beset by a series of serious injuries, she has become a very successful rider and one of the sport's most accomplished female jockeys. She had a breakout year in 2011 when she became the first woman to lead the jockey standings at Fair Grounds in New Orleans. It was no contest; she finished with 34 more wins than the runner-up, James Graham. One of those winners was a history-making victory aboard Pants On Fire as the first female rider to capture the Louisiana Derby. She became the sixth woman to ride in the Kentucky Derby and her ninth-place finish on Pants On Fire was the best by a female jockey in America's biggest race. Her fine season was interrupted on July 6 by a broken left arm suffered in a spill at Delaware Park. She underwent four surgeries to correct the damage and was able to begin exercising horses again on September 22 and resume riding.
In 2012 Napravnik recorded another milestone for a female rider when she became the first woman to win the Kentucky Oaks, guiding the appropriately named Believe You Can to victory. After riding Mylute in the 2013 Kentucky Derby, Rosie was chosen as the pilot of Unlimited Budget for the Belmont, a fitting combination as the Repole colorbearer is the only filly to run in the race.

All Movie Replicas Visitor Resource Centre: Licensed movie memorabilia, movie posters,

Posts Tagged 'seven pounds'New Movie Releases – Friday, December 19, 2008Thursday, December 18th, 2008 A bunch of good movies being released this Friday. Academy Award® nominee Will Smith stars in the drama "Seven Pounds," re-teaming with the director and producers of "The Pursuit of Happyness" for the emotional story of a man who will change the lives of seven strangers. The tale of three unlikely heroes – a misfit mouse who prefers reading books to eating them, an unhappy rat who schemes to leave the darkness of the dungeon, and a bumbling servant girl with cauliflower ears – whose fates are intertwined with that of the castle's princess. Based on a memoir by British author Danny Wallace the studio picked up in April 2005, the story centers on a man who decides to change his life by saying yes to absolutely everything that comes his way. Saying "yes" leads him on a series of unexpected comedic adventures that turn his whole life upside-down. Jim Carrey stars as Carl Allen, a man who signs up for a self-help program based on one simple principle: say yes to everything…and anything. At first, unleashing the power of "yes" transforms Carl's life in amazing and unexpected ways, but he soon discovers that opening up his life to endless possibilities can have its drawbacks. Back in the late '80s, Randy "The Ram" Robinson (Mickey Rourke) was a headlining professional wrestler. Now, twenty years later, he ekes out a living performing for handfuls of diehard wrestling fans in high school gyms and community centers around New Jersey. Estranged from his daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) and unable to sustain any real relationships, Randy lives for the thrill of the show and the adoration of his fans. However, a heart attack forces him into retirement. As his sense of identity starts to slip away, he begins to evaluate the state of his life — trying to reconnect with his daughter, and strikes up a blossoming romance with an aging stripper (Marisa Tomei). Yet all this cannot compare to the allure of the ring and passion for his art, which threatens to pull Randy "The Ram" back into his world of wrestling. Director Darren Aronofsky presents a powerful portrait of a battered dreamer, who despite himself and the odds stacked against him, lives to be a hero once again in the only place he considers home – inside the ring. Walt Kowalski is a widower, grumpy, tough-minded, borderline-hateful, unhappy old man who can't get along with either his kids or his neighbors, a Korean War veteran whose prize possession is a 1973 Gran Torino he keeps in cherry condition. When his neighbor Tao, a young Hmong teenager, tries to steal his Gran Torino, Kowalski sets out to reform the youth. Drawn against his will into the life of Tao's family, Kowalski is soon taking steps to protect them form the gangs that foul their neighborhood.

The past
Japan's history at the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup follows a curious pattern, having twice reached the quarter-finals and twice failing to qualify. Asia's performance at this level has been outstanding with the continent securing a podium finish at each of the last four occasions, missing out only at the maiden tournament ten years ago. Despite a number of current stars featuring down the years the closest Japan came to the last four was an extra-time defeat against Germany at Canada 2002.
The present
The Young Nadeshiko continued a stunning 2011 for Japanese women's football by winning the AFC U-19 Women's Championship. Japan collected 13 of a possible 15 points, drawing 1-1 in their opener against China PR thanks only to a Hamada Haruka deep into injury time. From there, however, Japan collected four successive wins in the highly competitive Asian qualifying region.
The future
Japan will rarely have such a good opportunity to end their relatively modest record at this level. The team enter the tournament as Asian champions, having secured the title for the second successive time. The Young Nadeshiko will also be boosted by playing on home soil, where support for the women's game is strong, particularly on the back of the senior team's stunning run to the world crown in Germany last year. Japan have a potential star in Mai Kyokawa with the forward named best player at the qualifying tournament with five goals, having been top-goalscorer at the AFC U-16 Women's Championship two year earlier, only to miss Japan 2012 with a serious knee injury. Yoko Tanaka and Kumi Yokoyama will likely provide much of the goalscoring impetus.

Great value.
Fabulous!! Great addition to my collection of Grand Prix knives.
Not an everyday knife but it fulfills specific needs in my kitchen. Very sharp and a pleasure to use.
Have used to do finish cleaning on filets, such as red lateral lines from Sheep Head & Redfish etc.....I think it is great & assume that it will hold an edge when used as I intended...I hide it from all else that may be in the kitchen that may cut everything from chicken bones to coconuts or may need a screwdriver..The leather case is a must for this unit because of the point...Be careful when removing knife from shipping carton as on mine the knife did slide & the point penetrated the factory package 1/8
Nice fillet knife. Light, sharp, good price.

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
"In the Region of Ice," first published in The Atlantic Monthly and later in the collection The Wheel of Love, won the O. Henry first prize in short fiction for 1967. It shares with other early Oates works, including the novel Son of the Morning (1978) and the story "Shame" (1968), a religious protagonist and a concern for spiritual issues. Sister Irene teaches the works of William Shakespeare at a small, Catholic university. For all practical purposes, she lives "in the region of ice"—a region void of feeling and passion. She is perfectly comfortable in front of a class lecturing on literature, but otherwise she is timid and essentially incapable of developing meaningful human contact.
Into her insulated existence comes Allen Weinstein, a brilliant but emotionally disturbed Jewish student. Having failed to cope successfully in his own discipline, history, and obsessed with the reality of ideas, he sits in on Irene's class and, unlike the other students, challenges and engages her. Eventually he dominates the class, inspiring the hatred of his classmates but awakening intellectual and emotional life in the professor.
The story is narrated through Irene's viewpoint, and Oates carefully charts the emotional journey she travels in response to Allen's erratic and striking behavior. Inexplicably, Irene finds herself anticipating Allen's presence and feeling hurt at his absence; her emotional life...

Summary (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
Sister Irene is praying for the energy and resolve to get through her first semester of teaching at the Jesuit university at which she has arrived. Although she is fully confident of her teaching ability and her vocation as a nun, she is somewhat anxious and timid about the world outside her classroom, which frequently startles and confuses her. Two weeks after the semester begins, a new and impetuous young man turns up in her class. In a breach of classroom etiquette, he interrupts her as she attempts to answer his not altogether relevant question, so she asks to see him after class. He argues vigorously and somewhat chaotically for permission to attend her lectures. Against her better judgment, Sister Irene allows him to join her class. Passionate and needy, the new student, Allen Weinstein, causes a sympathetic resonance in the usually restrained and self-sufficient professor.
Sister Irene notices that her excitement about her William Shakespeare class is heightened because of the presence of Allen's inquiring and disquieting mind. Her emotional and intellectual sympathy with Allen leads her to have expectations of him, and consequently to be capable of being disappointed by him. When he fails to meet his first paper deadline, she finds herself making an unusual concession for him, only to be given a paper that is twice as long as she has assigned, entitled "Erotic Melodies in Romeo and Juliet." Allen becomes increasingly emotionally demanding and yearns inarticulately for some kind of human intimacy. He presses her urgently to walk with him, to talk with him, to read a long and rambling poem he could show only to her. In his great need, he is immune to subtlety; he does not respect the conventional glass wall between teacher...

The skeleton of Phar Lap, Australia's favourite racehorse, went on display next to his hide in Melbourne Museum today. It was reassembled and installed yesterday evening by MV preparators, conservators and installers, under the guidance of a Te Papa representative.
Download the Video of the reunion of Phar Lap's hide and skeleton video
View this video with a transcript
Phar Lap's skeleton is on loan from Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa in Wellington. This is the first time the racing legend's hide and skeleton have been reunited since his untimely death in 1932.
The special exhibit is in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the running of the Melbourne Cup as well as the 80th anniversary of Phar Lap's 1930 Melbourne Cup win.
"Phar Lap had a remarkable career as a racehorse and this historic display is a fitting tribute to his significant place in Victoria's racing history," said Dr Patrick Greene, CEO of Museum Victoria. "I'm sure this will make Melbourne Museum's most popular exhibit an even greater draw card."
Phar Lap's skeleton will be on display in the Melbourne Gallery until 31 January 2011.
