Teens ditch Abercrombie & Fitch, stock tanks 18%August 22, 2013: 4:10 PM ET
Abercrombie & Fitch may try to attract "cool, good-looking" customers and employees, but the retailer's financial performance is just ugly. So much for summer girls, and anyone else for that matter, liking Abercrombie.
Teens, particularly girls, are ditching Abercrombie as well its sister brand Hollister. Same store sales, a key measure for retailers, tumbled 10% during the second quarter, leading to worse-than-expected earnings and revenue for the retailer. Shares of Abercrombie (ANF) plunged nearly 18% Thursday following the earnings news.
Will things turnaround soon? Fat chance. Abercrombie said same-store sales next quarter will be down even more, and its earnings outlook was far below what analysts were predicting. The company didn't even offer guidance beyond the third quarter "due to a lack of visibility given recent traffic trends."
The retailer, as well as rivals American Eagle (AEO) and Aeropostale (ARO) have been struggling for some time now as the tastes of teens and young millennials have shifted from classic jeans, logo T-shirts and hoodies toward more fashion-forward chains like Forever 21, H&M, as well as Urban Outfitters (URBN), which delivered strong results earlier in the week.
Through Abercrombie failed to warn earlier in the quarter that it would deliver poor results, the Twittersphere didn't seem all that surprised.
"Abercrombie & Fitch's 2Q net income down 33 percent"- this happens when your customer base is fickle, w/constantly changing tastes—
Jaret Landon (@JaretLandon) August 22, 2013
$anf had its run. It was a fad not a consistent fashion leader. Low quality clothes that aren't fashionable anymore.—
Mark (@strengthofalion) August 22, 2013
Retail is in challenging environment. $ANF in trouble. Core customer moved on and spent on cell phones, video games and sneakers.—
Jassem el Mahmoud (@jemfinancial) August 22, 2013
Some also speculated that company's financial troubles may be a result of Abercrombie's CEO Mike Jeffries comments from 2006, which were resurrected in May after a retail expert suggested that the company may not carry XL and XXL sizes for women because it doesn't consider plus-sized women to be among the "cool" teens it's going after.
In an interview with Salon.com more than seven years ago, Jeffries said that the company hires "good-looking people" because they attract "other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good looking people."
Abercrombie: If you make clothes for thin people and cool kids only, then u shld've seen this coming—
Sammyrue Vazh (@SammyVazh) August 22, 2013
Abercrombie & Fitch are screwed. Looks like their stock is down huge after latest results. #discriminationisbadforbusiness @Abercrombie—
Monty Dobson (@lemont) August 22, 2013
Others were hoping Abercrombie's dismal results may force it to rethink the way it does business beyond just its marketing strategy.
it brings me an odd degree of joy to watch Abercrombie & Fitch plummet. maybe the 10% drop in sales means they'll turn the music down. $ANF—
Jeffrey KGB (@JeffreyKGB) August 22, 2013
Maybe #Abercrombie $ANF would sell more if they turned the lights on in their stores. I'm sure their #carbonfootprint is stellar.—

Megadeth – Countdown to Extinction Reviews
No description for this product could be found, but have a look over at Amazon for reviews and other information.
No description for this product could be found, but have a look over at Amazon for reviews and other information.
THE BAND: Dave Mustaine (Lead vocals, lead & rhythm guitar), Marty Friedman (lead & rhythm guitar), David Ellefson (bass), Nick Menza (drums & percussion).
DISC: (2004) This remix version contains 15 songs clocking in around 67 minutes. Included with the CD is a 18-page booklet with a brief introduction, band photos, song credits, song lyrics, and thank you's. "Countdown to Extinction" was published originally in 1992 with 11 tracks in total. Incorporated into the company, Burbank, CA. New manufacturer – Max Norman. Label – Capital.
COMMENTS: Warning – do not trade in your original CD / Album for the new remixed and remastered version of "Countdown To Extinction". You need them both! This new version is slightly different than the songs. Mustaine's vocals appears (on some songs), as he was in a deep echo chamber. Intro's Song, the song ends, and some solo guitar is a completely different sound. In some songs, it sounds like Nick Menza is another drum kit (from the original Version'92). In my opinion – these are classic NEW assumes classical songs (reminiscent of what Deep Purple is only with her classic "Machine Head" and "Burn"). On the review of the data … Like Metallica, Megadeth was originally known for lightning-fast riffs and steady drums, the songs together. This kind of music to a select group of listeners. Megadeth matured a bit, has a new producer, it slows down just a bit … and the result was "Countdown to Extinction". A solid effort from beginning to end. The old school Megadeth fans will say that the band sold out (as Metallica fans of the old school, said the band has with its 1991 "Black" album and "Load" in 1996). I have always believed that you simply can not satisfied everyone. With "Countdown To Extinction" but I felt then, as I do now – Megadeth achieved, so many listeners with their new and improved sound. This is not the band the best-selling album for no reason. Mustaine and Friedman guitars are hard, crisp and firm. Ellefson's thundering bass-playing in the background. Menza of the drums was the same on other albums, but never better than here. The first 6 songs are back-to-back metal classics. My favorite songs (even years later) are "off a Dream," "That was my life," "Sweating Bullets" and "Symphany of Destruction". The bonus tracks are very much – "Crown Of Worms" fits into the spirit of the album. The 3 "demo" pieces cut and crisp sound – the big! If you're not into Megadeth because of their trademark speed and thrash licks … I guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised by the results of "Countdown To Extinction". In 1992, this was a completely different than anything else, what they always did. That is simply my favorite release of the entire Megadeth catelog. Classic disc.
3.0 out of 5 stars
New Romantic
Dave Mustaine was bright enough to leave Metallice before they got really big, in this album only the popularity of metal music hides the new romantic flavor of this album…
Megadeth and Metallica both have something similar in the early 90's-they experimented with their sound. While Metallica really sold out (as I have only the hard songs on this album) and became mainstream rock, Megadeth experimenting, but they were still metal. This CD sounds like traditional heavy metal than thrash metal, but it is still shiny. This may not be the incredibly complex-speed that was Rust in Peace or Peace Sells, but they are still technical (I'm actually wearing that word did not I? "), Even if they return to a verse – Chorus formula for some of the recording. The musicality of the band is as always top quality. As I have said thousand times before, there are many nice riffs and solos, as well a little more work than their previous acoustic versions. Highlights on this album are "Sweating Bullets," "Skin O My Teeth" and "Architecture of Aggression". While Metallica's only good releases were the first 4, the entire Megadeth catalog is worth (even though a risk may be an exception, if you're not a purist like me. ") Get this instead of the black album overvalued.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Best Megadeth Albumn
This by far is Megadeth's best albumn. All the songs are classic. Dave Mustaine rips on vocal's and prove Megadeth is the leader in top metal bands.
There are a few good things about the remix, and although the sound is more pronounced, the guitars are clearer, and you will receive a total of more 'Deth in the ears. However, why Dave Mustaine, some of the possibilities he has, I can not explain it. For example, Symphony Of Destruction lacks the harmonized guitars in the chorus, one of my favorite aspects of the original. What was wrong with the way it was?
If you've never heard the original, then better for you. Which remains a great album. Fans of the original with memories, be warned.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Good album – but often overrated
Considered by many as one of the best Megadeth albums, Countdown to Extinction is the band's fifth studio album and their first album to demonstrate an intention to be "radio…

Remastered version not for me
I bought this album not knowing what "Remastered" actually meant in terms of changes to the original works.

I will rate this anyway
First off so called speed metal seems to favor continuous brain dead speedy guitar masturbation over actually creating songs that are in anyway memorable, interesting, or remotely…
5.0 out of 5 stars
Foreclosure of a Dream
Many Megadeth fans prefer "Rust in Peace" and "Peace Sells But Who's Buying" but this Megadeth is the best-selling album.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Original = Good, Remix = Poor
I own both the original and the remixed/remastered version. The original is no "Rust in Peace", but it's still a pretty good album. I give the original 4 stars.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Dave's a big fibber.
Beware! If you have the original recording of this album, do not –repeat–DO NOT get rid of it. While it's stated on the case that it was remixed and remastered, it's become…

So I am looking to outfit my Tundra for long weekends and weeklong adventures. I'm struggling with whether to go with an older slide in camper or just buy a truck topper and build out the back. Clearly cost is an issue, but I don't want to be penny wise. The primary reason I am considering a slide in is that from November to March the long nights and cold temps make a camper more attractive. I'd like to climb in IC, Shelf etc. when overnight temps are in the low teens and daytime temps are 30+. Also, with 12+ hourws of darkness hanging out in a tent for a week kinda sucks. Having a relatively comfortable retreat would be sweet. During the other months of the year I would prefer to just throw a sleeping bag on a tarp and call it good. Of course, if weather kicks up then I could retreat to the built-out topper or throw up a tent. The primary drawbacks I see to the camper are initial cost, gas, storage and having to slide it in and out at the campground to free up the truck to get to the climbs. Half the year it would likely just sit. Anyone out there struggled with this dilemma? Any adivce? I suppose a third option is to go with the flip pac, which is a cross between the two. Any insight is much appreciated. Scott
We have preferred this one. Very comfy. Great to cook, sleep, sort gear, play cards, get out of the wind. When the weather went to shit, our friends jumped in with us. We have had up to 4 adults and three dogs comfortably. Sets up in 5 minutes. Its spent many days in the creek. We are not using it anymore, so time to sell. $1000. If you are by yourself you don't need this. Go with the flipac.
I bought a Four Wheel Camper slide in for my tacoma last year and I really like it. You can go anywhere that you can normally drive your truck. It pops up, so when it's down you get less wind resistance. It has a heater and it states really toasty. Plus there is a fridge, stove, and a fold out queen size bed and another twin bed. Cons are that it was spendy, and you aren't supposed to get in it when it's not on the truck (I think all slide ins are that way). I keep mine on all the time when on a trip. I have a two year old and it has really made car camping better for my particular situation.
ive done all three, tent, slide in TC and camp under the canopy. i just sold my slide in TC because i did not have storage. fuel mileage with the TC was terrible, head winds only make it worse. but having said that the comfort was nice. we were on the road for 2 months and doing it under the canopy would not have been as much fun. we are going back to sleeping under the canopy for weekends and short 3-4 night trips. if you can buy one id go for the pop up type truck camper.
I have used both the topper and a slide in pop-up camper...here's my two cents. The pop-up slide is pretty clutch when you're going to be gone for a considerable amount of time. It's comfortable (i.e., comfortable bed, stove, sink, table/bench area and room to stand up) and better than sleeping on the ground. However, I wouldn't want to slide it in and out of my truck every weekend or for every week long trip, plus you need a parking spot to store it when not in use. The topper can be comfortable as long as you get one that allows you to sit up while in bed. I bought a Viking pop up camper for $1000 on craigslist and it's been worth it for us. Although we've often thought that a pull behind popup camper and a topper on our truck would be the best scenario, in that it provides us with the most options and we wouldn't have to pop the camper up and down every time we drive to the crag (i.e., Indian Creek, Red River, Tensleep, Red Rocks). If you can wait a few more months, I'll sell ya the Viking!
Just get a cap... You'll be able to lock up your stuff in the back, and you won't have to take it off. You will save gas money by not hauling some giant contraption that you don't really need for weekend trips. I have an extra futon that'll fit if you want.
I've camped in several pickup toppers (cap, shell, canopy), and usually had trouble with clearance for my head (painful) as well as some difficulty accessing stuff stored under the bed. I know one person with a Tacoma who built a pretty nice cap for it himself out of plywood, and made it a bit higher than cab level to address the headroom issue. He got the windows+screens from an RV supply place, and wired in some lights, etc. I built a rather large plywood topper myself about 20 years ago and lived in it full time, but it wasn't very practical to drive around on a daily basis. I've known other folks who installed slider-shelf contraptions under the bed area to make getting the gear under there much easier. If you go with a topper, Weathergaurd, Adrian Steel and others make those slider things for trucks and vans. One thing to keep in mind with a heavier or taller setup (like a slide-in) is roll stability- adding some extra springs to the rear wouldn't hurt.
Thanks everyone! It sounds like the camper option is probably the best way to go. However, this thread got me thinking that maybe the pull behind is the best option. When I think of the places I would most likely go it is clear that I can access them with a pull behind. They are cheaper, and you can dump them at the campground and take the truck up to the climbs. Maybe a pull behind and a topper....damn it, too many options...
Just an update for those who care. I bought the slide in, but found it to be too much of a pain. First, it's a pain to get in and out of the bed of the truck. Second, once in, you can't drop it at the campsite, which means you have to put everything away every day and take it back out every night. Third, driving offroad with it in the back is a bit terrifying. Finally, there really isn't much room. So, based on all that, I sold it and bought a tow behind pop up. It seems to solve most of my complaints, with the one problem being that it might be more difficult to get it back in to some of the spots. I'm test driving it next week in the desert, and will post back.

Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division: Slimbridge 0 Abingdon Town 1
4:50pm Wednesday 16th January 2013 in Sport
SLIMBRIDGE'S slump in home form continued as they fell to their third 1-0 defeat at Wisloe Road in a week.
A bitterly cold night produced a dour, uninspiring spectacle for the small crowd, with the game decided on 70 minutes when Robert Pearson's turn and shot netted the only goal of the game for lowly Abingdon.
Despite home pressure, and Marvyn Roberts managing to hit the woodwork twice, Abingdon held on for only their fifth league win of the season.
The Swans are still second but now trail league leaders Marlow by 11 points.
Boss Leon Sterling will be looking for a positive response when Slimbridge make the long trip to Holyport on Saturday for another league encounter.
Slimbridge visit Ardley United in the AM Print & Copy Floodlit Cup third round next Tuesday.

Southampton's The Hobbit pub saved
5:40pm Thursday 15th March 2012 in Southampton Exclusive By Jon Reeve , Education Reporter
THE battle over Southampton's famous pub, The Hobbit, could be over, the Daily Echo understands.
The Saul Zaentz Company, which contacted owners Punch Tavern about the Bevois Valley pub's use of The Hobbit brand has told the Daily Echo the row has been a misunderstanding.
Film producer Paul Zaentz has told the Echo he does not necessarily want to remove all reference to Tolkien's work and "certainly doesn't want to run anyone out of business."
He wants to resolve the dispute "amicably" and suggested the pub could be asked to pay a nominal licence fee of $100 a year - about £63.
Mr Zaentz said: "We've tried to be very gracious. We think asking for a nominal licence fee is very reasonable.
"Rather than engage in protracted and expensive litigation, (we) would prefer to resolve this matter amicably.
"We said we would be willing to consider any proposition they might make, but to my knowledge we've had no response yet."
Mr Zaentz contacted the Echo after the campaign to save the pub garnered worldwide attention, with backing from Stephen Fry and Sir Ian McKellen, who both appear in the upcoming The Hobbit movie.

Yes! Many students will need to extend their student visa at some point during their stay in the United Kingdom. A student may need additional time to complete an existing course, or they may wish to begin a new course of study. It can be very complicated to understand what the visa requirements are but do not worry, the International Student Welfare Officers are available to advise and assist you through the application process.
We would advise that you think about preparing for a visa extension within the last four months before your current visa is due to expire. It is very important to keep a note of your visa expiry date in order to make preparations well in advance and to avoid overstaying. Your visa expiry date will either be located on your visa that is inside your passport or on your Biometric Residence Permit.
You will be required to complete an application form entitled Tier 4 (General) Student and submit a series of original documents in support of your application. Before you complete the form, it is important that you read through the Tier 4 Policy Guidance Notes and Photo Guidance Notes carefully to avoid making any mistakes. All of the above mentioned documents can be downloaded from the UK Visa and Immigration website.
Please ensure that you always use the most up to date copy of both the application form and policy guidance when making an application.
Yes of course! The Welfare Team are here to assist you with your application. We strongly recommend that you attend a visa extension workshop which will be organised by one of the International Student Welfare Officers. At the workshops, you will receive advice about how to complete each page of the Tier 4 (General) application form and what documentation is required. Any worries or queries you have will be answered at these sessions. Please attend a workshop at least 2-3 months before your visa is due to expire as it is essential that you have time to prepare the necessary documents and finances.
The International Student Welfare team will hold visa extension workshops every Wednesday afternoon. The workshops will take place at the I-Zone, which is located at the front of Llandaff campus. The workshops start at 2.00pm prompt and will run for approximately two hours. You will need to bring with you:
You can book onto the workshop by visiting the IZone in advance or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can download it from the UK Visa and Immigration website
Once your application is complete and you have collated all of the relevant supporting documents, it is essential that you make an appointment with one of the Welfare Officers in order for them to check your documentation and to give you a Certificate of Acceptance of Studies (CAS). This is a unique number which is vital piece of information which must be included if your application is to be considered by the UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI).
When you are ready to submit your application you have two options to choose from:
Postal Application
Application Process: You can send your application form and documents to the address printed on your application form and we strongly advise that it is sent by recorded or special delivery so that you have a record of when they were sent.
The processing can take approximately 8 weeks. During this time you will be called to attend a biometric appointment where your fingerprints and photograph will be taken. We have a UK Visa and Immigration Premium Service Centre in Cardiff where this can be done. Once the UKVI have made a decision on your application, they will notify the Welfare Officers by post and return your documents to the university.
Application Process: If you need to get a rapid decision on your visa extension application, you can go in person for an appointment at a Regional Premium Service Centre. The UK Visa and Immigration states that the majority of applications will be dealt with on the day of the appointment, providing that the application is straightforward and that the application and all of the documents are complete and they meet the requirements of the immigration rules.
For an in person application, it is necessary to book an appointment in advance by calling the UK Visa and Immigration on 0870 606 7766 (Mon – Fri 8:00am – 4:00pm) or using the online booking service:https://www.gov.uk/ukvi-premium-service-centres
The application fee for both postal and in person applications is very expensive so please ensure that you check the current costs before applying and budget for them.
New rules with regards to dependant visa applications were introduced in July 2011. Your dependants can apply for immigration permission to join or remain with you in the UK only if:
If you require further details about making visa extension applications or dependant applications for your husband, wife or children, please contact the International Student Welfare Team for advice.
You should always plan well in advance and check whether you require a visa to enter the country you wish to visit before you make plans to travel.
Another important aspect you must check if you are planning to travel is that countries quite often require you to have a minimum number of months remaining on your UK student visa in order for the relevant embassy to grant you a visa. The minimum may be up to 6 months for some countries - always check!
The Foreign Commonweatlth Office website will help you locate the embassy web page of your choice which will then give you full information about application procedures. A member of the Welfare Team will be happy to write a letter to support your visa application. To apply for this letter please click here.
This is the name of a visa that you may wish to apply for if you are planning travelling to Europe. This single visa would allow you to travel to multiple European countries meaning that you would not need to apply for individual visas for each country. There are currently 25 European countries that are part of the Schengen agreement. For a list of these countries, please visit http://www.schengenvisa.cc/
Decide which country you would like to travel to first, then visit the embassy website of that country to download a Schengen visa application form. Apply to this embassy for your visa. Details of the requirements and how to apply will be found on the embassy's website. For a list of embassies, please visit the Foreign & Commonwealth Office's website

One shop arrives on the high street as another departs
Another chain store has collapsed, adding to the toll of high street casualties due in large part to the surge in online shopping.
The fashion company Republic has gone into administration, putting 2,500 jobs at risk. It follows the likes of HMV, Blockbuster and Jessops, who've had to call in administrators over the past few months.
But one businesswoman is reversing that trend by taking her online store onto the high street.
Julie Deane set up the Cambridge Satchel Company four years ago with just £600.
Now it has an annual turnover of £12 million and she's opening her first shop in Covent Garden.
But is she worried about doing that just when the High Street appears to be fighting for survival?
Rags Martel has been finding out.

There isn't a single person on the official Nokia site that will give out that information. The procedure can damage the phone and therefore invalidate any warranty that may remain.

The Batesville Herald-Tribune
---- — To help ensure the safety of all motorists during this heavily traveled holiday, Indiana State Police are participating in Operation CARE (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) from July 3-7. The federally-funded program will allow more than 100 additional troopers to patrol area roads in an attempt to reduce the number of crashes, fatalities and injuries over the July Fourth weekend.
Troopers will be targeting impaired drivers, motorists who speed, follow too closely, make unsafe lane changes, drive aggressively and fail to buckle up or properly restrain their children. Troopers also encourage motorists to stay off their cell phones while driving.
The police encourage all motorists to observe these safety tips:
• If you're planning to travel a long distance, make sure you are well rested. A fatigued driver is a dangerous driver.
• Avoid tailgating. Remember the two-second rule.
• Obey all speed limits and always use your turn signals when turning and changing lanes.
• Avoid using cell phones while driving. Distracted driving is dangerous driving.
• Never drink and drive.
• Make sure everyone is buckled up.
Indiana State Police would like everyone to remember that driving comes with important responsibilities to yourself, your passengers and other motorists.

NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. - The eagle who was shot and found freezing at the central landfill in Johnston is slowly getting better.
The eagle experienced some swelling in its brain after it was shot in
the head, and lost a lot of brain functions. The bullet is lodged near its brain.
The condition of the female bald eagle has improved enough that the eagle can walk in a straight line, according to wildlife rehabilitator Kristin Fletcher, who is caring for the bird.
The eagle experienced some swelling in the brain after it was shot in the head, the bullet lodged near its brain. The veterinarians caring for the bird have put it on Prednisone to control the swelling.
Fletcher told ABC6 News that previously, the bird would only walk in circles because its ability to move was impaired after it was shot. "The fact that she can walk in a straight line instead of circles is huge," Fletcher said.
Fletcher also said that unfortunately, the bird cannot yet feed itself and doesn't recognize the natural food it is supposed to eat. If the eagle can be rehabilitated enough to recognize food, it may stand a chance to live a somewhat normal life.
The Wildlife Rehabilitators' association of Rhode Island is trying to get permission from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service to take the eagle to Raptor Trust in New Jersey, a facility where the eagle might be able to learn how to eat again. Fletcher said that if the injured eagle is put with another eagle that knows how to feed itself, that it may stand a chance of learning how to feed itself again.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - J.D. Fischer, a slugging first baseman on the Whitman College men's baseball team, has been named to ESPN The Magazine's Academic All-District Team.
Fischer, a junior, is one of 11 players named to the Academic All-District First Team in the College Division of District VIII. The district includes all NAIA and NCAA Div. II and Div. III schools in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, Hawaii, California, Utah, Nevada and Arizona, as well as British Columbia.
Players on all-district teams from around the nation are eligible for election to the Academic All-America Team. National voting takes place later this month.
Fischer, a graduate of Capital High School in Boise, Idaho, is majoring in biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology at Whitman, where he has a cumulative grade point average of 3.65.
"J.D. is the definition of a student athlete," Whitman baseball coach Casey Powell said. "He has the highest grade point average on our team every season, and he continues to improve and be a big part of our team on the field."
Fischer hit .292 this spring, leading Whitman in home runs (5), doubles (11), runs batted in (30), total bases (64), and slugging percentage (.492).
"J.D. had a great season," Powell said. "His power numbers compare very favorably with the other first basemen in our conference."
This spring, Fischer was one of six undergraduates awarded internships to assist with research this summer in the Division of Human Biology at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Wash. He has earned Undergraduate Honors in each of his first two academic years at Whitman.
Fischer is the son Deborah and Bryan Fischer of Boise, Ore.
With sponsorship from ESPN The Magazine, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) administers and selects the Academic All-America teams at the district and national levels.

What day of the week does a Jewish wedding normally take place? Historically, what day of the week did a Hebrew wedding occur?
Rabbi Nancy H. Wiener, D.Min., Dr. Paul and Trudy Steinberg Chair in Human Relations and Founding Director of the Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Center for Pastoral Counseling at HUC-JIR/New York, explains:
In reviewing Jewish wedding contracts from different centuries and different locations, one can see that Jewish weddings have taken place on every day of the week. Custom dictated that weddings not occur on the Sabbath, holidays, or mourning periods (personal and collective). Is some localities, it was common for weddings to take place on Sundays or Wednesdays, so if there was a legal issue it could be brought to the rabbinic court which met on Mondays and Thursdays. Some chose Tuesdays, because it was seen as a particularly auspicious or "lucky" day, because in the Genesis story it was the one day which God described as good twice.

News: "I Think [President] Obama Is In A Serious Situation Right Now"
Friday, Oct 21, 2011 5:44PM
After dropping his last album, The Recession, in reflection of 2008's nationwide economic struggle, Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy has now discussed his take on United States' President Barack Obama.
With Obama nearing his third full year in office, Jeezy said he still has faith in the head of state.
"TM103," officially titled "Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition," will feature production from J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Lil Lody and Lil C. What it likely won't include, however, is an anthem as overtly political as his 2008 hit "My President," which celebrated Barack Obama's win in the 2008 election. President Obama's popularity has slipped since then, but Jeezy still has faith in the President. (Billboard)
Earlier this month, Jeezy's "My President Is Black" remix collaborator Jay-Z gave his input on President Obama.
"I still think he is the best man for the job," Jay said in an interview. "Yes, I think he got a raw deal and a bad economy. You wouldn't be given anything you can't handle so he must be really special, because he has a lot of work to do!" (E! Online)
Despite Jeezy and Jay's co-signs, the president has received backlash from Grammy-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco who labeled him the nation's biggest terrorist and Mobb Deep's Prodigy.
"My view on [Obama] is that, number one, you can't be a president of the United States unless you're a part of this bloodline that they got going on that goes all the way back to European royalty," P explained in an interview. "So, they got this bloodline going on and whether people believe it or not, it's very real. You will not be an American president unless you are linked and a part of this bloodline. Obama is...From what I see, whether he knows it or not, he's down with this whole conspiracy to rule the world. He's a part of it. To brainwash people, to kill people, genocide, everything that goes on out here that's so fantastic you really don't want to believe it, he's a part of it." (Alex Jones)
A few months ago, Grammy-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco made headlines for labeling Obama the nation's biggest terrorist.
"In my fight against terrorism, to me, the biggest terrorist is Obama in the United States of America," Fiasco said in an interview. "For me, I'm trying to fight the terrorism that's actually causing the other forms of terrorism. The root cause of the terrorism is the stuff that you as a government allow to happen and the foreign policies that we have in place in different countries that inspire people to become terrorists. And it's easy for us because it's really just some oil, which we can really get on our own." (CBS News)

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, Redskins LB Brian Orakpo and Bears RS Devin Hester were named NFC Players of the Week for their performances in Week Four.
Rodgers was the first player in NFL history with 400 yards passing, four passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns in the Packers' 49-23 win over the Broncos. Rodgers was also Player of the Week in Week One.
Orakpo terrorized Rams QB Sam Bradford all day, recording 2.5 sacks to go along with five tackles in the Redskins' 17-10 win. It's the second time Orakpo has been Player of the Week in his career.
Hester broke two long returns, a 73-yard kickoff return and 69-yard punt return for a touchdown, in the Bears' 34-29 win against the Panthers. The punt-return touchdown gave Hester 11 in his career, passing Eric Metcalf for the most in NFL history.

"It can be hard to keep up with evolving technology -- and the way it is used in education, Edutopia Assistant Editor Todd Finley writes in this blog post. To help teachers successfully integrate technology in the classroom, he recommends they take time each week to learn a tool and to interact with students using technology, among other ideas"
One of the challenges of back to school time is that you're filled with a classroom (or classrooms) of students you don't know. The students you just spent the last year with know your style, understand your expectations and classroom rules. You know their personalities, learning styles, quirks, likes, and dislikes. That knowledge base makes …

No matter where we're from, these are the emotions that unite us – it's what makes us human. We set out to capture this spirit in 60 incredible photographs, and I truly hope you enjoy."
Jim Lerman's insight: Perhaps the title of this article is a little over the top in terms of these being the top 60 photos ever taken, but many of them are great. Great to use as story prompts.

"Google's advance in the education field has brought to schools around the globe affordable devices and effortless access to educational content. Google's latest solution for learning is called Google Classroom. Although Google Classroom will be available at the beginning of the school year to all schools that have adopted Google Apps for Education, the Mountain View based company granted access to Google Classroom to a select few individuals in July. I was fortunate enough to be one of these early adopters/testers of Google Classroom, and I can honestly say that I am impressed by its simplicity, and its ability to seamlessly integrate Google Docs, Sheets,Drive, Gmail, and more in order to provide a wonderful and highly productive user experience."

These digital and online tools can help your English language learners build vocabulary and improve their reading abilities while often putting them in control of their own learning.
by Dian Shaffhauser
"As schools struggle to get their heads around the proficiency expectations laid out in the Common Core and other newly revised state standards, perhaps nobody will struggle more than educators working with English language learners (ELLs). After all, ELLs have to build their content knowledge and their language skills simultaneously. On top of that, as it says in a report by nonprofit education consultancy WestEd, "Often, especially if they are recent immigrants, they also have to learn about and adapt to the culture of U.S. schools."
"One way that teachers can optimize their time with their ELLs is through the use of technology. These eight free (and nearly free) digital and online resources encourage students to improve their English by putting them in control of their own learning."

"The largest school iPad deployment in the nation has been put on hold.

"Moving forward," he wrote, "we will no longer utilize our current contract with Apple Inc." The tablet devices had already been deployed to 52 schools."
"These 160 math projects, from schools across the US, provide overviews, activities, assessment rubrics, work product descriptions, and ideas for reflection. Although they vary in format, you can adjust them to your students' learning situation, curriculum demands, etc. Projects from Teach21 PBL (West Virginia Dept of Education), and Math Matters in Indiana are very detailed and provide excellent project-based learning lesson plan templates."

Mayra.Loves.Books's curator insight, August 24, 10:37 AM
Wish I knew the context of this photo or where it came from. Is it digitally altered? The photo was shared, but no original source given. Yes, the picture is worth more than a thousand words, and as a teacher I can see the possibilities of using this in the classroom after a study or refresher about the life of MLK. As a librarian, not knowing the source bothers me tremendously. I hope someone who reads this will add the missing information.

"Tracy Fischetti's high school students improved their reading level scores about three times as much as expected last year, according to the state's 2013 test scores.
"Of all the English teachers in Florida, she scored the highest on the state's Value Added Measure (VAM). Interestingly, Fischetti had no idea of her distinction until I emailed her in early March. "I am not sure how you would have gotten wind of my classroom chaos in California," she wrote. The metric isn't viewed positively in her district.
"I'm sure many readers' jaws clench at the mention of VAM Scores. I'm going to sidestep that controversy for this post except to note that, inadequate as test scores are for assessing educational quality, they're not a bad starting point to discover promising practices. No matter what you think of VAM, Fischetti and her students have accomplished something impressive, and I couldn't be more grateful for the time she took to share her approach with me.
"There are three practices that Fischetti employs consistently that seem to account for a lot of her success".

OK, all you b-ball players, this summer program is your chance to show off your basketball endowment. The name is Boston Neighborhood Basketball League (BNBL). Sponsored by Boston's Mayor Ray Flynn, this league is broken into several divisions situated in the Boston area. Each division is operated by an obligatory person who is willing to give up his/her evenings a couple of nights a week to govern a division.
All games are held in the evening under the lights. Even though the league may be competitive, friends make up their own teams. So, if your basketball dexterity and adroitness has not reached its potential, don't worry. Three salutary aspects of having your own team are: you will probably know how your friends play and know where they will move on the court; it will much more fun, I'm sure; and lastly, you will not have to worry about a coach picking you for the team. Also a coach is not required for each team, but it may be mortifying at times without one.
Finally, another good thing about this program is that it is free and the t-shirts come complimentary to each gamester. Additionally, if your team wins the championship, not only do you receive jackets, you enter a tournament made up of all the champs in each division to find who has the best hoop team in Boston. So, gather all your cronies for the BNBL summer of '92, and start practicing right away. n

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB Fox 41) -- On Wednesday afternoon, Fox 41's Bill Francis spoke with 84 WHAS Radio's Terry Meiners about UofL Coach Rick Pitino's decision not to continue his weekly UofL basketball show on WHAS-11 TV.
Meiners confirmed that neither he nor Coach Pitino would be doing the weekly show, as was originally planned.
Below is a transcript of what Meiners told Fox 41 about that development. Click on the link to the right to watch the raw video of that interview.
Francis: Terry when did you find out you would not be hosting the show? Who told you and what reason did they give you?
Meiners: It was about three weeks ago that I was informed by WHAS-TV that Rick Pitino was not going to be available for the TV show any longer. We did it on Fox 41 in kind of a kooky way for several years, and I've had a good time doing it for a long time, but for some reason he doesn't want to do it for the next year. He's taking a year off – which is peculiar.
Francis: You all are friends. Has he told you why?
Meiners: He has not stated why and maybe he's just overwhelmed with all that's gone on in his life in the last year-and-a-half.
Francis: Who told you that you wouldn't be hosting the show?
Meiners: The manager of WHAS TV said that since Rick Pitino is not on the show, then we don't really need you on there because we're using the two of you for your repartee together, since they're putting together a highlights show apparently.
Francis: What about the halftime show on the regular broadcast? What's the deal with that?
Meiners: That was part of the same package – I would do the silly halftime interviews. And he and I did plan them out as farcical little plays. We would try to make a joke or whatever. We would try to get on Sports Center and ultimately it works.
Francis: Most people think you've been good friends with Rick Pitino. Have you talked with him about this?
Meiners: I have not. We are good friends. We'll remain that way forever. But the fact that he's taken a year off just sort of leaves me off the side and that's fine. I've got too many jobs already.
Francis: Have you heard or speculated why he's not – most coaches, like you said on your air, have contractual agreements to do shows. It's kind of unusual, isn't it?
Meiners: There has to be some contractual language he'll have to step through, because yes, coaches – part of their compensation package is to show up for their coaches' show, so he'll have to dance around that some way, and I guess that's for high-priced lawyers to figure out.
Francis: Are you disappointed?
Meiners: Absolutely. I wanted to keep doing that until Rick Pitino finished out his career in Louisville. It was fun. It was just a different thing to do.
Francis: You said on your show just a minute ago – you criticized UofL I guess for some of the seating arrangements at the new arena. There's been a lot of talk about that of course. Do you think that has something to do with you not being on the program anymore?
Meiners: Your guess is as obvious as mine.
