And so the student has become the master.
Goran Dragic's meteoric rise from relevant backup to a starring role for the playoff-contending Houston Rockets has been covered from nearly every angle. Especially from fans and supporters of the Phoenix Suns.
In order to avoid rehashing tired storylines, I'll be brief: Seeing Dragic succeed in a starting role for the Houston Rockets — who currently sit tied with the Suns for the eighth seed in the playoffs — is surely a sore sight for Suns fans.
There is just one question that begs to be asked: Could Dragic's blossom into a bonafide starting-caliber point guard have occurred with the Suns?
Many of the Suns faithful look back on the days of "El Dragon" with a sense of longing. His late-game heroics in game three of the team's series against the San Antonio Spurs in 2010 were etched into the hearts of fans forever.
Then, in a shortsighted move to bring the underwhelming Aaron Brooks to shore up the backup point guard position, Dragic's time as a member of the Phoenix Suns was over as quickly as it had begun.
The Suns were committed to Steve Nash — and rightfully so. The man is single-handedly keeping this team in playoff contention. The rest of the team is beginning to gel and play better than originally thought, but without Nash, there would be no hope for a playoff series in Phoenix.
That's where things get tricky.
There are those that view this year as Nash's victory lap with the Suns. A last hurrah of sorts, if you will. While Nash remains unequivocally committed to his current team, there is also the very real possibility that the Suns won't commit the three extra years Nash desires after his contract ends this summer.
So, where does Dragic fit into this scene?
The Goran Dragic of today looks much different than the Goran Dragic of old. He's poised, confident and plays for a team and coach that believe in him. His tendency to shy away from tough defense has subsided, and most importantly, he is averaging 36.6 minutes as a starter.
Dragic wouldn't have seen that level of support — or minutes — from the Suns until this summer, at the very earliest.
The main complaint heard from many Suns fans is that the team should have had more patience with him. He showed flashes of achieving his potential while in Phoenix, and those flashes were occurring more and more frequently before his untimely departure.
Should the Suns have kept Dragic? As of right now, all signs point to yes. The team wound up missing the playoffs the year they traded for Brooks, who never really looked like he wanted to be the backup to Nash. Then, as the NBA lockout drudged onward into the doldrums of summer, Brooks signed a one-year contract with a team in China and hasn't been since.
With the Suns in "win-now" mode, Dragic's development was labeled too much of a long term project for Robert Sarver. The problem with that mentality is the Suns ditched a player who is currently showing signs of being a legitimate NBA starter, while the team is currently unsure of what to do after Nash inevitably leaves the team — be that this summer or in three years.
The Suns organization needs to pick a plan and stick to it. Sarver regularly states that he is unable to watch a team suffer through years of losing in order to build the team from the ground up. What he fails to realize is that holding onto a team that is a borderline playoff team — at best — is a surefire way to mire the franchise in mediocrity.
Hindsight is always 20/20, but for the amount of mistakes made by the Suns' front office, hindsight should have become more of a foresight by now.

Hi all ! I will be happy if someone will check my essay and helpm me with it.
Nowdays many people leaves their motherland and go study abroad. Nevertheless it is not so easy as many students are expecting, studying abroad have it pros and cons.
First of all students improve their foreign language in ways that can not be improved if they stayed in homeland. In addition students become more independant, because they are far away from parents who do things like paying checks or washing clothes. Furthermore students get to know other culture habits, what is well for their personnal progress.
Studying abroad has also it drowbacks. Firstly, students misses their family and old commrades, who stayed in their home country. Moreover the lessons are in foreign language and one should not understand the theory as good as in mother language. Another disadvantage is that students may have problem with accomodation, founding a job or to find their place in a different enviroment.
On balance studying abroad is for people who are not afraid of possible problems, for students who want to try something new. For the others is better to stay at home and study in local university, which maybe do not have a good name in the world, but provide sufficient education.
Thanks for reading :)

Projects: Friends of Usability
Usability Has Ten Friends at Trane Global Controls and Contracting
Judy Kistler-Robinson is a product communications group leader for the technical writing group at Trane Global Controls and Contracting in St. Paul, MN. A strong usability advocate, Kistler-Robinson recently awarded Friends of Usability Certificates to peer employees and management.
As Trane has become increasingly attuned to usability practices and processes, the role of usability has become increasingly prominent. None of the ten employees who received Friends of Usability Certificates are specifically usability professionals, but all have become usability advocates.
They are employed as project managers, marketing and business development managers, technical support, and technical writers. Kistler-Robinson wanted to thank the volunteers in a special way for their extra effort, and felt that the Friends of Usability Certificate would "help make usability prominent and important."
Of the Trane Ten, nine volunteered to interview technical installers and programmers who had come for technical training.The interview team also established customer profiles and personas from the interviews.
The tenth recipient is the Vice President of Product Planning and Support, who Kistler-Robinson wanted to reward "for being a nice guy who understands the role of usability and its importance."
Kistler-Robinson reports that
all the recipients were surprised, and a few were very proud. The brightly
colored certificates are being displayed in cubicles and offices at Trane.
The certificates are "the gift that keeps promoting," Kistler-Robinson

Poyet likes Bolton's style
1:00pm Saturday 24th November 2012 in Albion By Andy Naylor, Chief sports reporter
Albion boss Gus Poyet has hailed Dougie Freedman's move to relegated Bolton Wanderers as a tonic for young managers.
Freedman brings Bolton to The Amex today four games into his reign at the Reebok after the 38-year-old Scot quit the Seagulls' arch-rivals Crystal Palace.
Poyet, 45, told The Argus: "I think it's good for young managers.
"That you know if you do well at your club you are going to have a chance to go to another place that could be better.
"In the last ten years, what ever way you look at it, Bolton have looked a better club than Palace.
"That doesn't mean they are, or were, but they have been an established Premier League club and Dougie probably thought it was a great chance for him to try to go up to the Premier League with Bolton.
"Of course now the table shows something totally different but I think he was very honest. He did it for himself and for his family as well."
Bolton, although unbeaten under Freedman, are 17th in the Championship, 15 points adrift of leaders Palace who host seventh-placed Albion next Saturday.
Poyet added: "It's going to be strange to see him with another team, because we were waiting for that big derby against Palace, but he's not going to be there."

Kiss My Face is as much about what they're NOT as what they are...
Why Natural & Organic?The use of natural and organic personal care products is increasing dramatically... not just in the United States but throughout the world. People are becoming more knowledgeable and concerned about the environment and the effect of toxic chemicals on us and the earth. Properly formulated natural and organic personal care products are not only good for you but are actually more effective than their commercially mass-produced chemical laden counterparts.
Safer and HealthierWhy are people consuming more natural and organic foods? Clearly, the absence of unnecessary chemicals and pesticides in the food and drinks we ingest make them safer and healthier for us. The use of natural and organic personal care products is just as, if not more important than, consuming natural and organic foods. While the body's digestive system is actually designed to filter out impurities, the skin, as the body's largest organ, absorbs 60% of what is put on it, directly into the bloodstream. In the United States, the FDA has banned only nine personal care ingredients in the past 67 years, compared with the EU, which has outlawed 450.
Natural is Effective!Essential oils, for example, primary ingredients in any natural or organic personal care product, are the concentrated, odoriferous derivatives of therapeutic plants produced for their own survival and protection from disease. These precious oils influence the plant's growth and reproduction insuring a long and healthy life. The molecular structure of essential oils is very close to that of the fluids and oils of our skin, accounting for our skin's natural affinity to them. They are readily absorbed and penetrate to the deepest skin layers. Regular use of essential oils in skin care has been proven effective in helping correct problems such as wrinkles, excessive oiliness, dryness, blemishes, and tone. Essential oils have the capacity to promote the elimination of dead cells, regenerate new ones and to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Better for the EnvironmentOrganic farming is safer for the environment. It helps to give back to nature by maintaining and replenishing the soil rather than depleting it. Organic farming is better for all of us in the long run. The use of natural ingredients over cheaper synthetic ingredients eliminates the release of hazardous bi-products released into the environment during the production of synthetic chemicals in laboratories and factories around the globe.
KISS MY FACE has been feeding body and soul for over 25 years!Kiss My Face takes great care in utilizing only the most potent and pure botanicals, natural vitamins and minerals. Most Kiss My Face ingredients come from renewable resources that are environmentally sound and many of the herbs are grown or harvested by indigenous peoples, helping them preserve their way of life. All Kiss My Face ingredients are used at optimum levels-no skimping! Think of Kiss My Face products as nourishing food for your face and skin, providing balance for body and soul.

In an effort to better serve the growing market, Bandit Lites has purchased additional facilities in Nashville, TN. Bandit CEO Michael Strickland states, "In order to meet our clients' expectations of the Bandit Standard, we needed an additional facility. With this space we will be able to quadruple our output in Nashville." Bandit will look to this facility to help meet the demands of its growing client roster and its continued global expansion.
While the current property will continue to serve as the main base of operations, the new warehouse will serve as an overflow storage facility and a suitable space for preparing multiple shows while allowing for expansion. Bandit's Nashville-based vice president, Michael Golden, explains, "Our plan will involve a fully staffed facility to build and prep systems while our current facility will become more of an administration and pre-rehearsal programming facility. It is our goal and intention to make the hanging facility a comfortable place where artists can come to see their show being programmed and to add input without any distraction."
The new building is located directly behind the current property and features over 140,000 sq. ft. (12,600 sq. m) of space to work with and a 40'-high (12m) ceiling. This warehouse features both front and back office space and is completely wired for computer network compatibility. With 22 loading docks and parking for 150 vehicles, Bandit will be able to expedite the process of dropping off and loading gear for multiple tours simultaneously. Golden states, "With the acquisition of our newest property in Nashville we will now be able to offer the largest inventory of lighting under one roof anywhere in America."

Meet the Coach
Head Coach: Alison Lacey
Alison Lacey is beginning her first season as the head MCC women's basketball coach. Lacey concluded her career at Iowa State University as the only player in school history and only the seventh player in the history of the Big 12 Conference to record 1,500 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists in a career. She is the highest WNBA draft pick in school history after being chosen 10th by the Seattle Storm in 2010; Seattle went on to win the 2010 WNBA Championship. Lacey became just the second Cyclone in school history to record a triple-double, posting 19 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds in the win over Iowa, which resulted in Big 12 Player of the Week accolades. She was a part of four NCAA Championship appearances by the Cyclones, and part of the third winningest senior class in school history by victories with 99. Lacey led the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio for the majority of the campaign and ranked second (3.0) to end the 2010 season. She also ranked ninth in NCAA Division I assists with 6.2 per contest, scored in double figures 25 times, ranked ninth in Big 12 scoring with 15.8 points per contest, was a unanimous pick by league coaches to the All-Big 12 First Team, and was a finalist for the Nancy Lieberman Award for the nation's top point guard and an All-America honorable-mention pick by The Associated Press and the WBCA.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This is a route that is toproped from The Mad Scientist's anchors. Instead of following the bolts for TMS, go straight at the anchors directly from below them. Start in the gully that is easy climbing. Face the more vertical wall with the right-facing ledge above, and this requires a bit of smearing. The crux is the same as TMS but is left of the bolts and can be more challenging if you stay away from the flake to the left. Then, it's easy sailing to the TR from above the flake.
Start about 10 feet left of The Mad Scientist's beginning.
2 anchors at the top - TR from the same anchors as The Mad Scientist.

Manatee hospitals extinguish smoking
Date: August 28, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Lakewood Ranch Medical Center, Manatee Memorial Hospital and Blake Medical Center announced today tobacco use will no longer be permitted on their campuses on Sept. 1.
Following the example of the hospitals and health departments in Sarasota, DeSoto and Charlotte counties — which became tobacco free in 2007 — and other hospitals across the nation, the three hospitals in Manatee have decided to become tobacco free citing that the health risks of tobacco use conflict with their objective of providing a safe and healthy environment for patients, employees, physicians and visitors.
Establishment of this policy recognizes the health, safety and comfort benefits of tobacco-free air and the special responsibility that hospitals have in maintaining, and promoting a healthy and safe environment.
"The American Heart Association is an advocate for smoke-free workplaces at the state and local levels," said Dr. Bill Gower, past president of the American Heart Association's Greater Southeast Affiliate.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma House committee advanced a bill Monday to fix what its author says is a legal quirk that allows some people to keep collecting food stamp benefits even after being convicted of food stamp fraud.
The Human Services Committee approved it with a 6-3 vote Monday; all three Democrats on the panel voted no. The bill has already passed the Senate and now goes to the full House for consideration.
The proposal, introduced by Oklahoma City Sen. David Holt, a Republican, explicitly states that unauthorized sharing of food stamps in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is fraud and potentially a felony punishable by two years of prison time.
Holt told The Associated Press his bill wouldn't apply to benefits shared among family members or to people who use food stamps on behalf of someone else — a grandson shopping for his grandparents, for instance.
"I mean, it's just as simple as that's not yours to give," Holt said. "When we as a community agree to help someone out, we agree to help that person, not their friends."
Holt said the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, which administers the SNAP program, requested the bill. He said the department told him about 90 people admitted to or were convicted of food stamp fraud last year, with only a handful serving prison time.
The DHS legal department and Inspector General Tony Bryan didn't return phone calls seeking comment Monday afternoon.
With an amendment approved by the committee Monday, the bill now also tells district attorneys to ask people who admit to fraud to give up their food stamp benefits in exchange for a lighter, deferred sentence.
"There's already a disqualification consent agreement that the DA is supposed to present," Rep. Randy Grau, who's carrying the bill in the House, told the Human Services Committee. "This says they have to."
Currently, Holt said, federal law stops DHS from automatically cutting off benefits after a fraud conviction.
"A deferred sentence is something a district attorney does out of mercy and efficiency, and a good outcome can come without you having to go to prison," Holt said. "We're just ensuring that it's on the table."

Murphy's career day leads baseball over Florida A&M, 15-5
Related Links
Junior left fielder Jonathan Murphy went 4-for-5 with a career-best two home runs and six RBI to lead the JU baseball team to a 15-5 win over Florida A&M, Wednesday evening in seven innings at Moore-Kittles Field.
JU (27-17) won only its second mid-week contest of the season (2-8) after pounding out 15 runs on 16 against FAMU (16-32).
"It's nice to get another mid-week win," said JU head coach Terry Alexander. "Murphy had a nice day and we got some guys an opportunity to get some swings. We have a quick turnaround before we face a tough UNF squad."
Junior Sean Green (3-1) got the win after allowing only one run on six hits with seven strikeouts in five innings of work. Thomas Barwick (4-4) was tagged with the loss after allowing 10 runs on 11 hits with two walks and two strikeouts in 5.1 innings.
Along with Murphy, freshman second baseman Taylor Ratliff and junior third baseman Kevin Lehane each finished with multiple hit and an RBI. Senior designated hitter Esterlin Perozo also went 2-for-3 with a triple and two RBI.
Cory Franklin led the Hatters by going 3-for-4.
JU took a 1-0 lead in the first when sophomore first baseman Adam Brett Walker hit an RBI grounder to short.
The Dolphins increased the margin to 7-0 in the fourth when freshman designated hitter Patrick Long drove in a run with a grounder to second, junior catcher Matt Frank hit an RBI single up the middle and Murphy hit a three-run shot to left center. The Rattlers cut the margin to 7-1 in the bottom of the fourth when Oscar Santalo laced an RBI single down the third base line.
JU made it 14-1 in the sixth by plating seven runs on six hits while taking advantage of two FAMU errors.
FAMU cut the deficit to 14-5 bottom of the sixth by plating four runs on three hits while taking advantage of a Dolphin throwing error.
The Dolphins added another run in the seventh when Murphy led off the frame with a solo shot to left, his second of the game and fourth of the season.
The Dolphins will next host UNF for the final installment of the SunTrust River City Rumble, beginning at John Sessions Stadium on Friday at 6:30 p.m. The contest can be heard live on 1010XL with Joel Lamp calling all of the action. The game can also be viewed through live stats by logging onto JUDolphins.com.

Artwork commemorates Wyoming championship
Laramie, Wyo. -- This year marks the 75th Anniversary of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship. As part of the 75th Anniversary Celebration of March Madness, the NCAA and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) have commissioned paintings by renowned sports artist Opie Otterstad of each of the head coaches who have won an NCAA Men's Basketball title.
In 1943, the University of Wyoming captured the NCAA Championship. That 1943 Cowboy team was led by head coach Everett Shelton. Coach Shelton not only led Wyoming to the 1943 NCAA Championship, but he won 328 games over his 19 seasons as the Cowboys' head coach, and he guided Wyoming to eight NCAA Tournaments.
An original painting of Coach Shelton and Wyoming's All-American Kenny Sailors, painted by Mr. Otterstad, was unveiled at halftime of the Wyoming-Colorado game on Dec. 1, 2012. That original painting, as well as a limited edition of reproductions are now available for purchase at www. NCAA.com/Art.
The original is available for fans to bid on through the NCAA.com/Art website, and the limited edition reproductions are available for purchase at a price of $475 each, also through that same website.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the artwork will go to benefit: the NABC Foundation, which supports TTRR (Ticket to Reading Rewards); the College Basketball Experience; and the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame.

With Ubaldo Jimenez off the market, a number of teams looking for starting pitchers cast their covetous eyes toward Houston, where the trades of Hunter Pence and Michael Bourn made it clear that Astros management is blowing things up and starting over. Might Wandy Rodriguez be available?
He certainly was ... but only for the right package. And with the trade deadline come and gone, Rodriguez remains an Astros, no doubt because he's still owed $25.5 million after this season, and probably isn't worth quite that much. It's likely that a deal was there to be made, but only if the Astros were willing to send along a few million dollars, too.
Which doesn't mean a deal won't eventually get done. Rodriguez will be placed on revocable waivers tomorrow, and most teams will be scared away from claiming him by his contract. It takes only one, though. If somebody gets just a bit more desperate for a starting pitcher in August, something still might happen.

With this week feeling, release-wise, a little like the industry at large is taking a deep breath while effecting the gear change from Summer tentpole scheduling to awards season programming, it's a good moment to pause and take a look at the goodies to come in the waning months of 2013. It's a pretty stellar line-up, as films we've seen throughout the festival year start to make their way into awards-friendly end-of-year slots, vying with films we haven't yet seen but have been patiently, and in some cases pantingly, looking forward to for months now. In fact, the line-up is so stellar that for the purposes of whittling down a manageable list of the films we're most anticipating, we made the decision to exclude anything that features in our Most Anticipated Toronto Internatioal Film Festival list just to narrow the field a little. And it was still a tricky task, which had the listmaker in us nearly despairing, even as our inner cinephile rejoiced. We may miss the lazy hazy days of summer, but we won't be sad to see the back of a largely disappointing blockbuster season, especially with titles like these on the horizon. Here are the 16 remaining 2013 films that we're most excited about.
"The Wolf of Wall Street"
Synopsis: A New York stockbroker with a ridiculously decadent lifestyle refuses to cooperate in a large securities fraud case involving corruption on Wall Street, organized crime and the federal government.
What You Need To Know: Any new film from patron saint of American filmmaking Martin Scorsese is an event on the cinematic calendar. This is his fifth collaboration with star Leonardo DiCaprio, but marks just his second feature shot digitally and combines a loosely mob-inflected story with a topical, high-finance setting, and so overall the film promises to deliver an exciting blend of the old and the new from the director. Based on the memoir of the same name by Jordan Belfort, 'Wolf' was written by Terence Winter who made a name for himself on "The Sopranos," and since created the Scorsese-shepherded "Boardwalk Empire" for HBO. And in support the cast is unimpeachable, with a hotter-than-hot Matthew McConaughey featuring and Oscar nominee Jonah Hill, "The Artist" Best Actor winner Jean Dujardin, Jon Favreau, Kyle Chandler and rising Aussie actress Margot Robbie rounding it out, plus directors Rob Reiner and Spike Jonze in small parts. But perhaps what's most exciting about all of this is that despite his venerable age (the film is released two days before Scorsese's 71st birthday) and the heavyweight cast, it looks, from the excellent, fizzy trailer at least, to be a high-energy, riotous, barbed blast with a nice line in the unusual treatment of seafood (Hill appears to eat a live goldfish; DiCaprio throws lobsters at the FBI). Bring it.
Release Date: November 15th
"The Counselor"
Synopsis: A lawyer anxious to make some quick cash gets in over his head after he begins dabbling in drug trafficking.
What You Need To Know: Based on the first-ever original screenplay by "No Country for Old Men" author and American literary icon Cormac McCarthy, and directed by Ridley Scott, who intends to dedicate the film to his late brother Tony (who tragically committed suicide last summer), "The Counselor" may just boast the A-listiest cast in a season that's teeming with stacked casts. Led by Michael Fassbender with Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Brad Pitt and a flamboyant Javier Bardem in support, Scott's recent output may have been somewhat touch-and-go, alternating between the wildly brilliant and just plain frustrating (sometimes in the same movie—hello, "Prometheus"!), but he's unquestionably one of cinema's most accomplished stylists and is certainly capable of truly amazing things. We're hoping that "The Counselor" is one of those amazing things, and with the team-up of McCarthy and Scott feeling pretty right, straight off the bat, and a dark, sexy, violent trailer that teases more than it tells, the signs are still good that it could deliver. Also, there's a cheetah.
Release Date: October 25th
"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire"
Synopsis: As Katniss struggles with her growing celebrity as an icon of rebellion, she is perceived as a greater threat by President Snow, who calls her and Peeta back for the Quarter Quell—an even more brutal competition that pits previous Hunger Games winners against each other.
What You Need To Know: At the time of its release, we all breathed a measured sigh of relief that "The Hunger Games," for all its flaws, was absolutely not "Twilight," in featuring compelling characters and a female lead who had more to do than alternately pine and moon. Barely 18 months later, and the franchise now seems like the sole ray of light on the Young Adult horizon, as adaptation after adaptation has subsequently tried and failed to spin its on-the-page popularity into a film franchise (a look at our 2012 rundown of the YA hopefuls is retrospectively sobering). So Katniss' return, featuring everybody's favorite person and newly minted Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, is actually one that we are looking forward to, especially with the additions of Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jeffrey Wright, as well as rising star Sam Claflin, to an already top-notch supporting cast (Donald Sutherland, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci). With our own experience of the books (hey, we have nieces) being that #2 is actually the best of the trilogy in expanding the mythology to a more resonant plane while still retaining the visceral excitement of the first, and with the director who'll be responsible for the taking the franchise home now in the hot seat (Francis Lawrence, replacing Gary Ross), we're hopeful for a film that at least partially deserves its inevitably blockbusting box office, and the trailer makes it look like it may.
Release Date: November 22nd
Synopsis: In the not-too-distant future a lonely man fresh from a break-up falls in love with his computer's operating system (voiced by Scarlett Johansson). Complications arise, ones that you probably can't click out of.
What You Need To Know: "Her" marks director Spike Jonze's first full-length feature since 2009's tortured "Where the Wild Things Are" and his first solo screenplay credit ever, which is more than reason enough to get excited for the project (which is still shrouded in many layers of annoying mystery). Need some more reasons? How about the cast, led by the terrific Joaquin Phoenix, in a role that seems completely suited to his peculiar, outsidery sensibilities, and Scarlett Johannson as the voice of Her (and yes, it says something for storytelling confidence if you cast Scarlett and don't actually show her)? How about the trailer? How about the fact that indie music heavyweights Arcade Fire are providing the score (their first since Richard Kelly's little-seen "The Box")? Or how about its place as the closing night film of the prestigious New York Film Festival? Additionally, distributor Warner Bros. shuffled the release date until later in the year to better coincide with an Oscar campaign, a sign that the studio feels the film (which co-stars Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Olivia Wilde and Chris Pratt) is a serious awards contender and not just some low-budget doodle. Phoenix provided further proof, if any were needed, that he can be one of the most magnetic performers around in last year's "The Master," and he's absolutely terrific too in the as-yet-undated "The Immigrant," so we can't wait to see him tackle this role, which appears to be in a more touching, albeit probably more off-kilter, register than anything we've seen him in recently.
Release Date: December 18th

You include Hunger Games but not Jack Ryan? And what about Dallas Buyers Club? My top five are: The Counseler, Wolf of Wall Street, 12 Years a Slave, American Hustle, and Oldboy. Although Captain Phillips is getting tremendous buzz right now despite not showing up at festivals yet. And of course Gravity has gotten raves too. Prisoners and Rush could be good too.

No love for Calvary? After The Guard, I'm really excited to see what John Michael McDonagh can do next and I'm waiting anxiously for a trailer, or posters, or any sort of promotional material. With the cast and the premise that the film has, it's been on my 'must see' list all year, and I'm surprised it's not in this list as well.

In the relatively thin 145-pound Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) ranks, Erik Koch and Ricardo Llamas square off tonight (Jan. 26, 2013) at the United Center in Chicago, Ill., in the kind of bout where a big statement could go a long way, particularly with the looming Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar "super" showdown at UFC 156 on Feb. 2, 2013.
Given their relatively modest current standing as contenders, a mere win on the UFC on FOX 6 televised main card probably won't be enough to secure a title shot, which is precisely how these bouts should be classified by the UFC. In what is basically a striker/submission artist vs. power wrestler mixed martial arts (MMA) match up, it's imperative that Koch establish his stand up and avoided getting grounded and ridden.
Llamas can do exactly that, and will probably have to to some extent, to notch the upset win.
Check out a complete breakdown of the UFC on FOX 6 Featherweight fight between Erik Koch vs. Ricardo Llamas below:
The Breakdown
It's always a letdown to have a title shot fall through, and Koch had two fall through against Aldo in 2012, with injuries to each canceling the bouts. In a way, it was probably a blessing for him, as he -- along with virtually everyone else in the division (with the exception of Edgar) -- could use more experience before taking on the ultra-dangerous champ.
Koch fights very effectively as an aggressive southpaw, using strong kicks and sound kickboxing to punish mistakes and exploit openings.
Llamas, meanwhile, will have to find a way to close the gap without getting his head handed to him, as he's got limited stand up and that greatly lowers the percentage chance of getting in good position for a tie-up and takedown. If he's unable to get Koch down early, will frustration mount or will be able to adapt and find a way to dictate his kind of fight?
Conversely, for Koch, if he's planted on the mat, a key decision could be whether he tries to work for submissions, which is unlikely against the gifted Llamas, whose sub grappling credentials are good, or battle back to his feet? It's a key decision in a match up like this and the judges may well have to weight the merits of a few takedowns and limited top-position striking versus a few shots landed on the feet by the guy that's taken down.
Such fights almost always bring out the worst instincts in fans and often nobody's happy with the decision.
The Pick
On a purely athletic level, you have to give Koch the edge. He's the more explosive guy on the feet and the kind of dynamic striker who can turn a fight in the blink of an eye much like stablemate Anthony Pettis. Look for a feeling-out process in the opening half of the first round before Koch starts finding his angles and scoring with precise combinations, using movement and angles to stifle Llamas' ability to set up grappling attacks.
Midway through the second, Llamas will begin scoring takedowns, but Koch's defensive guard will be enough to stymie him and warrant a stand up or two, and he'll do enough on the feet to keep the round close. In the third, both will go all-out and Koch will force dramatic exchanges on the tiring Llamas, delivering a finishing blow with a massive headkick to win via knockout.
Koch via knockout
Remember that MMAmania.com will provide LIVE round-by-round, blow-by-blow coverage of the UFC on FOX 6 main card action, which is slated to start promptly at 8 p.m. ET. Up-to-the-minute updates and fight-by-fight coverage will begin to flow earlier than that, however, around 4:30 p.m. ET with the "Prelims" bouts on Facebook and FX.

With 37 of his most recent paintings, Jerry Fresia provides a brief essay on how the painting process not only creates the work but is driven by pleasure.
Acerca del autorJerry Fresia
fresiastudio Bellagio, Italy (Lake Como)
I studied painting in the studio of William Schultz, who in turn, studied with Robert Brackman. From Brackman we can trace a direct line, from student to teacher to Claude Monet. It was within the studio system of teaching, then, that I was taught both the practice and philosophy of French Impressionism. I received my PhD in political science from the University of Massachusetts in 1982. I taught at several colleges and universities and wrote two books on American politics. I have also written extensively on painting. I exhibit and sell my paintings in my own art gallery (FRESIA Galleria d'Arte) in Bellagio, Italy. I also organize painting classes as well as produce art books and painting videos.

The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.
While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.
On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..
When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?
But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).
Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.
Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).
But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore.
"It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, Vancouver

While established players like Phil Mickelson struggle at the 2011 U.S. Open, former major champions, upstarts, and marginal players are ruling the day at Congressional Golf Club. The torrid starts of Francesco Molinari and Rory Sabbatini are just the latest bit of evidence that the wide-open Open field might make for an unexpected champion.
Molinari and Sabbatini both raced out to 3-under starts in their late afternoon front nines: Molinari was 3-under after four holes, but has since fallen back to 2-under after a bogey on the seventh; Sabbatini, who began his first round on the back nine, made birdie on the 12th, 13th, and 14th, and remains at 3-under through five holes.
Neither Molinari nor Sabbatini has a major title, though Sabbatini came close, tying for second at the 2007 Masters. But good starts at the grueling Congressional course make the chances that one of the two will break through this week that much better.
For the latest on the 2011 US Open, stay with this StoryStream throughout the day. For more on golf, head over to SB Nation's Waggle Room.

Choosing a Kindergarten, Plus 11 Ways to Make a Good School Great
The open house at our son Jack's prospective kindergarten left us . . . "underwhelmed" might be the kindest way to put it. Lord knows teachers have it hard enough, and administrators do the best they can on hacked budgets, but as the parents of a fledgling grade schooler you want to walk away from that first visit thinking, "I love this place!" We couldn't pretend. When we bought our house we were told that the reason property values were so low had much to do with the uneven quality of the town's schools. Now we knew just how much.
At the time, we rationalized. "It's only kindergarten, let's try it for a year." But are there really any throwaway years where education is concerned? And kindergarten, a child's initiation into the world of formal learning, seemed crucial to helping our son get off to a good start, rather than stumble out of the gate.
The search for the perfect kindergarten
By then it was early August, and we really had to scramble. We crammed in as much research as we could, and in the end decided our perfect school would combine elements of several early childhood philosophies. We liked the way Waldorf schools, based on the educational theories of Rudolf Steiner, emphasized immersion in the physical world, teaching about nature and using nature to teach about everything else. We knew that Jack, our little worm-whisperer, would thrive in such a setting.
We also admired the Reggio Emilia approach, which pays close attention to a kid's natural affinities and energetically plays off them with songs, games, creative play, and so on; Jack's preschool had a Reggio Emilia bent and it really worked for him. His fascination with bugs, for example, led to a series of lessons on insects and the creation of pipe-cleaner spiders.
Then there's our local Montessori school, which allows children to develop at their own speed, letting kids of mixed ages study and learn together. This seemed particularly right for our son, who both looks up to older boys and shows a great natural compassion for younger kids. We'd heard of schools where administrators boast, "We teach our kids in kindergarten what other schools teach in third grade," and thought that absurd. We didn't want to rush the academics. In contrast, we liked the didactic materials that the Montessori schools use, the simple blocks and beads and wooden forms, and how children use the materials to cultivate critical thinking. (Maria Montessori was an Italian psychologist whose methods were originally designed to foster the cognitive development of mentally handicapped children.)
The beauty and simplicity of the Reggio Emilia and Montessori classrooms also drew us in. The public school classroom we'd visited, the one that left us underwhelmed, was cluttered, all four walls papered baseboard to crown molding with flash cards, letters both block and cursive, numbers, shapes, colors, names, dates, maps, and posters of animals and presidents and flags, distractions everywhere you looked.
I went online, looking for our dream school. I expected it would be beyond the Boolean capacities of my search engine. To my surprise, I found the perfect kindergarten, one that combines all of the elements we were looking for. That was the good news. The bad news was, if Jack was to attend this ideal kindergarten, we were going to need a time machine, seeing as it existed in 1837.
It turns out all the best parts of the well-known pedagogies now in use in private and public elementary schools share a common ancestor: a forgotten German educator named Friedrich Froebel (pronounced FRUR-bull), the man who invented kindergarten and, with it, the concept of early childhood education nearly 175 years ago.
Can you say "Kleinkinderbeschäftigungsanstalt?"
Born in Germany in 1782, little Friedrich came from an era in which children received meager formal education, beyond religious instruction, until age 7. At that point they were deemed ready to be taught, usually by men and often in the same style as students at the higher levels, seated on hard wooden benches, listening to lectures. For children under 7 there were only two types of schools, and I use the term loosely. "Dame schools," so-called since they were run by women, basically functioned as home day care centers. The other "schools" were what amounted to detention centers created to take in kids whose moms had gone to work in the factories of the Industrial Revolution.
Then along came Friedrich, a child of the Romantic Era, with its emphasis on imagination over reason, on individualism and the worship of nature. Froebel was influenced by the writings of philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, whose book Emile, ou de l'Education discussed the then-novel idea that children go through different developmental stages and should not be treated as adults until they actually are adults (duh), and that they learn best through direct experience and observation.
At age 23 Froebel took a job teaching at the Frankfurt Model School, which was based on the pedagogy of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, the education reformer whose school in Yverdon, Switzerland, broke all the rules. Another follower of Rousseau, Pestalozzi and his approach to "natural education" were radical. No more lectures. No more recitation. No more punishment, no shaming students, no discouraging words, and no books. Instead, older students would teach younger students (the age range was 7 to 15) and everyone would experience hands-on learning. ("Our first teachers in natural philosophy are our feet, hands, and eyes," Rousseau wrote.) They'd use tools, saws, hammers, and planes, and manipulate objects, and observe nature on hikes that sometimes lasted several weeks. First form the mind, Pestalozzi believed, then furnish it.
Froebel took to Pestalozzi's ideas with missionary zeal, but with a variation — Pestalozzi considered children seeds, but he did not teach them until they were 7. If children were truly to be cultivated as seeds in a garden, then why, Froebel asked, wait until they're 7 to begin the nurturing process? He wanted to start them at 3 or 4. In 1831 Froebel opened his first school in Switzerland, only to be accused of heresy by the priests at the Lucerne canton. Six years later he opened another school in Bad Blankenburg, Germany, for 3- to 7-year-olds, initially calling it a Kleinkinderbeschägsanstalt, which translates into "small-child-keep-busy institute." He hit upon the much catchier name kindergarten ("children's garden") later while hiking in the mountains. Froebel's genius was the realization that the best way to develop and nurture a child, effectively laying a foundation upon which future learning could be based, was to harness the child's innate creative energies and educate him by his own activities. Rather than provide books or paper and pens for his Kinder, and rather than lecture or give them facts or answers to memorize, he gave them a series of 20 manipulative tools he called "gifts and occupations." The fifth gift, for example, was a box with a sliding lid containing 27 one-inch wooden cubes stacked 3 by 3 by 3, with 21 of them intact and whole, three that had been halved on the diagonal axis, and three that had been quartered. The teacher might ask the children to use the blocks to make the letter T, or to make a picture of something they saw in springtime, or to arrange them in patterns of three. As the children manipulated the blocks, they learned T-ness or spring-ness or three-ness (as well as whole-ness, half-ness, and quarter-ness), tangibly experiencing each concept — literally "object lessons."
Such blocks could teach simple addition at the lowest levels or illustrate complex theorems at the higher levels, something like the way you can perform virtually any arithmetic on an abacus. Other gifts included wooden cylinders, balls, cubes, parquetry tiles, metal sticks and rings, paper slats, jointed slats, then paper to draw on, prick with pins, sew with threads, and paper for cutting, weaving, folding, and finally modeling clay.
Froebel's gifts physically manifested mathematical and geometric relationships and were played with on a large round table marked with a one-inch grid that the pieces fit into. Play in Froebel's classrooms was never done idly or merely to amuse or kill time, and it always had direction and constructive purpose, under a teacher's guidance. But still it remained play — in effect, the kids didn't know they were learning anything.
In other words, his kindergarten was never supposed to be "school." It was preschool, for children ages 3 to 7, all mixed together, older children helping younger children, younger children imitating older classmates (hello, Montessori). They learned self-reliance, each child following his or her own creative path (hello, Waldorf). Froebel also had storytelling and singing games (hello, Reggio Emilia), where the student telling a story absorbed all the elements of good writing, the value of details, and the structure of beginning, middle, and end, thesis to antithesis to synthesis. The learning process took place symbolically, over time, arrived at through activity, each child at his or her own pace. The goal was not to retain or remember anything (though they did), but rather to simply get children to a place where they loved the process of learning.
Despite the fact that Froebel is hardly known anymore, his prescient notions of early childhood education live on in schools today. No matter the model (public or private) you can still see his philosophy at work.
Saved by the bell
As dumb luck would have it, a friend phoned to tell us she'd heard two spots had opened up at the last minute in a great public school (according to reputation) the next town over, available to us through school choice. With a minimal amount of groveling before the superintendent, we managed to secure one of the spots for our son.
When we drove to the new school to see it for ourselves, it was as if somebody had specifically designed a kindergarten for Jack — right down to the golden retriever (his favorite breed) sleeping on a dog bed outside the principal's door. The school was high on a hill, a modern facility with spacious classrooms, sunshine pouring through the skylights, a student-to-teacher ratio almost half that of the first school we'd looked at, an elaborate playground with up-to-date equipment, and a large vegetable garden in the courtyard. "I love this place," my wife and I said simultaneously.
Unavoidably, its curriculum had the (arguably) premature focus on academic performance mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act. ("It used to be," one educator told me, "kids didn't hate school until at least fourth or fifth grade — now they hate it in kindergarten.") But it also had an after-school program for mixed ages, where kids could just goof around outdoors or indoors with blocks or art materials, a program that, to an extent, restored the Froebelian element of mentored play lost 100 years ago when American educators, among them John Dewey, decided Froebel's model was too abstract and impractical.
Modern kindergarten, they felt, ought to serve a higher purpose: to provide a useful free education, as well as to Americanize the wave of immigrant children flooding American cities. Kindergarten, then, became a place where creativity was encouraged but ultimately subordinated to the need for learning discipline and self-control, a time not to play but to work, or at least to get used to the idea of work. The "higher purpose" today is to get kids to pass standardized tests, beginning in third grade. But if you know what to look for, you can find in today's elementary schools vestigial remnants of the Froebel approach: the mathematically proportionate wooden blocks and tiles, the circle-time songs and games, the kids sewing stitches into paper, finger-weaving yarn, planting marigolds in the school courtyards, caring for the class guinea pig. Good teachers still pay attention to their students' interests, still teach through activity, and still know how to encourage kids to love learning.
We were thrilled by what we found at Jack's new school, which seemed to combine and honor many of the traditional elements of Froebel's vision. I hesitate to say one eccentric German educator got it right 175 years ago — the world sure has changed a lot since then. But little kids are still little kids, and their brains don't grow any faster than they did in Froebel's time. In this digital era, we wanted our son to have an analog introduction to school life, a hands-on, direct experience with a world that was actual, not virtual. Mostly, we wanted him to love his new school as much as we did.
And he does.
11 (Yes, 11) Ways to Make Good Schools Great
Even if you can't hire Herr Froebel as a teacher, or if you don't have the perfect school locally, here are some grassroots ideas inspired by Froebel's tenets of play, community, imagination, and learning.
- Organize a reading buddies program. The original kindergarten served kids from ages 3 to 7, and the older helped the younger learn. This idea lives on in mixed-age reading buddy programs. To learn more, go to misscantillon.com and click on "Reading Tips, Strategies, and Buddy Reading."
- Make the school a community. Host a potluck picnic for each grade on the school grounds in the first week of school, organized by parent volunteers. It's a nice icebreaker and a good way to make new friends and reunite with old ones.
- Rise up and sing. Children in Froebel's kindergarten spent part of each day singing and dancing. If daily singing isn't feasible, then weekly. Find a time when everyone (one classroom, grade, or the entire school) can gather together and belt it out. Go to niehs.nih.gov and search for "Sing Along Songs."
- Advocate for recess. Froebel believed physical activity was an essential part of a child's education. Recent research agrees: Kids learn better when they've had a chance to run around. If your school has axed recess, get parents to lobby for setting aside 20 to 30 minutes a day for kids to play outside. Or start an after-school mileage program: One day a week kids can do laps around the schoolyard (walking, running, skipping . . . ) and get cards stamped by parent volunteers for every mile.
- Spark an idea lab. Help a teacher create an idea lab in the classroom, using parent donations of cool broken junk, obsolete (yet safe) electronics, recyclables, and hardware thingies. Kids can go to the idea lab and concoct during their free time.
- Institute a class community-service project. Tend and hatch salmon eggs, then release them somewhere appropriate. Make and sell dog biscuits, and give the money to an animal shelter. Research green programs; try thegreenteam.org.
- Grow a garden. Froebel gave his students a tiny plot of land to plant outside their school building (it wasn't called kindergarten for nothing). Schools today are rediscovering the school garden to teach kids about ecology and nutrition. For kids who need instant gratification (who doesn't?), try planting radishes, which sprout in only a few days. To learn more, go to fertilegroundschools.org.
- Launch a lunch buddies program. Talk with administrators about doing a voluntary lunch buddies program, where kids from various grades eat lunch together in groups of three and are switched around during the year. This discourages lunchtime cliques, encourages mentoring, and helps kids from every grade get to know each other.
- Facilitate an after-school club. Put out feelers for informal, parent-supported after-school clubs where kids play together centered around a common interest, anything from kickball to chess, under loose (loose is key) adult supervision.
- Auction for the arts. With items and services donated by parents or solicited by parents from local businesses, you can raise funds to support arts education. Keep it simple; it doesn't have to be a gala. A potluck in the cafeteria is just fine.
- Show teachers your appreciation. Host a teacher and staff appreciation lunch, organized by a team of parent volunteers and complete with tablecloths, flowers, and a lavish buffet lovingly prepared by grateful families. (It does, indeed, take a village.)

HOUSTON -- If you have Chung's egg rolls and other products in your freezer, you may have reason for concern. Federal officials say Chung's frozen Chinese foods may have been prepared in filthy conditions.
Federal authorities are concerned that the foods might have been contaminated by filth.
The Houston-based company has been ordered to shut down for now. Despite that, there authorities have not issued a recall of Chung's products.
KHOU 11 News found Chung's products still on the shelves Monday night.
"It's a health concern. I'm definitely worried about what it is they found," said Cindy Swope.
A permanent injunction forced the factory on Dennis Street in southeast Houston to cease operations.
This stems from a complaint filed more than two years ago, and that was based on an inspection dating back to 2005.
Consumers want to know why the feds are just now taking action.
"It's like, ew. What else am I eating," questioned Janice Rodger.
FDA inspectors reportedly found that Chung's shrimp egg rolls may have been rendered "injurious to health". Inspectors said the company "produced food in unsanitary conditions and failed to control for toxin risks."
"I'd eat it. I don't care. I was in the military for a long time and ate a lot of crappy chow. I'd eat anything," said Don Kosek.
Chung's products are sold across the country in all 50 states. The frozen foods are sold a number of popular stores, including Kroger, Food Town, Super Target, Walmart, Randalls and Fiesta.
A Kroger manager told KHOU that there has been no mandatory recall ordered, but he also said that they may do a voluntary recall.
According to the United States Department of Justice, Chung's Products LP has a long history of violating regulations.
A Chung's spokesman wasn't available for immediate comment on Monday.

Students in California have a proposal. Rather than charging tuition, they�d like public universities in California to take 5% of their salary for the first twenty years following graduation (for incomes between $30,000 and $200,000). Essentially, rather than taking on debt students would like to sell equity in their future earnings. This means students who make more money after graduation will subsidise lower-earning peers.

Another misconception: The proposal doesn�t raise $47 billion over 10 years. Or, rather, it does, but only if you use the �current law baseline� that assumes the full expiration of the Bush tax cuts. No one really uses that baseline. If you look at Paul Ryan�s budget, for instance, its appendix tables use a �current policy baseline,� which assumes, among other things, that the Bush tax cuts are extended.
Compared with that baseline, the Paying a Fair Share Act actually raises about $160 billion. Still not enough to solve our deficit problems on its own, but nothing to sneeze at.

In the depths of the financial crisis, borrowers with tarnished credit like Ms. Alejandro were almost entirely shut out from credit at traditional lenders. It was hard enough for people with stellar credit to get loans. But as financial institutions recover from the losses on loans made to troubled borrowers, some of the largest lenders to the less than creditworthy, including Capital One and GM Financial, are trying to woo them back, while HSBC and JPMorgan Chase are among those tiptoeing again into subprime lending. Credit card lenders gave out 1.1 million new cards to borrowers with damaged credit in December, up 12.3 percent from the same month a year earlier, according to Equifax�s credit trends report released in March. These borrowers accounted for 23 percent of new auto loans in the fourth quarter of 2011, up from 17 percent in the same period of 2009, Experian, a credit scoring firm, said.

Spotify isn�t content with just dominating Facebook; the service is now allowing tracks to be embedded into websites, which�launches the Spotify app. Okay, that�s cool, I guess; if Rdio hadn�t been doing the same thing without launching an app for at least a year.

The Google team has announced a redesign of their ghost town social network, Google+. Described as part of the initiative to create a �simpler, more beautiful Google� the redesign is essentially a brand new layout and, well, it looks a bit like a cleaner version of Facebook. Unfortunately, the relative lack of engagement with Google+ has never been a matter of looks (it already looked much better than other social networks) but rather a matter of motivation, which Google hasn�t solved with this redesign.
The problem with this model of Series A and B investing is that, in reality, many of the companies with big hits weren�t overnight successes. Pinterest, OMGPOP, Twitter, and Tumblr were around for years before taking off and all benefited greatly from having patient investors. In the current financing environment, a lot of good companies won�t live to get Series As and Bs and big VCs will pay valuations on hits that are priced to perfection.
Remember last year when analysts said that the lack of a full redesign with the iPhone 4S was so disappointing? Hahaha, wow, good times. AAPL closed at what, 626 today? Analysts suck. - JT

We May Be 7 Months Away from the End of Britain
Alex Massie, The Spectator
The Associated Press
The battle for Britain is being conducted on a wavelength which unionist politicians in London struggle to pick up. The nationalists have been preparing for this vote all of their political lives — and know that it is a fight like no other. The unionists seem rather worse prepared. Like hockey players sent on to play a game of rugby, they have a rough idea of the game — but many, especially those based in London, don't properly understand its rules. The unionists can babble on about the Barnett formula and a hundred other details but, in the end, these are mere details. Salmond's nationalists offer a tryst with destiny. And the future.
