Rushville Republican
As the holiday season nears, the Xi Eta XI chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Society 's annual Christmas Candlelight house tour prepares to ring in the season. This year's tour features four Rush County homes belonging to: Garry and Deloris Hickman, 825 South Flatrock River Road; Dick and Marge Stevens, 1436 South Flatrock River Road; Junior and Nancy Newton, 7044 West Union Street, Arlington; and Randy and Michelle Reynolds, 3987 North CR 450W.
This year's event will be held from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 5 and will include tours of all four residences which will be decorated for the holidays. The tour donation cost of $6 will allow the sorority to continue to financially support a variety of local organizations and causes. In recent years, monies from the event have been used to sponsor a child at the Rush County Boys & Girls Club, for the Phoenix House and for the Rush County Animal Shelter, to name a few.
The Rushville Republican will feature stories with brief histories of each residence on the 2012 tour. The first featured residence is the Reynolds' residence.
The log cabin home was built in 1998 with hand crafted white pine logs.
Reynolds and his brother, Gary, designed the original floor plan of the home that was followed by a 2008 addition that was designed and completed by Michelle and her family.
The five bedroom two bath rural residence comprises 3,400 sq. feet and is located on 11 acres of wooded area in close proximity to the Little Blue River.
The house will be decorated with a collection of Michelle's Christmas bears, that she has been collecting since 1994. Aside from the Christmas decorations, the residence is also adorned with a traditional log cabin theme that includes, mounted deer, stuffed squirrels, fox fur and items that bring rural life indoors.
In preparation for the Christmas season, on the day following Thanksgiving, the family chose two 10 foot Christmas trees with one placed in the kitchen area and the second placed in the family room to welcome St. Nick. Michelle's favorite flower is the poinsettia and these will be featured along with different renditions of Santa Claus to be found throughout the home.
Directions to the Reynolds home: U.S. 52 west to CR 450W (turn right). After crossing CR 300N, the residence is located roughly one-mile north on the left, just south of CR 400N. Don't miss the Annual Christmas Candlelight House Tour Dec. 5.

With "The Dark Knight Rises" gearing up to go in front of cameras next spring and Christian Bale doing the press rounds -- as much as he doesn't really want to -- for "The Fighter" opening on December 10th, it's inevitable that he will be asked endlessly about the third installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise. And while he won't spill too many details (and really, he doesn't have a script yet so we're not sure how much he could say anyway) he did drop a minor bomb in his most recent conversation with E!.
Regarding his future wearing the Bat-codpiece, Bale says, "The thing is that this will be, I believe, unless Chris says different, this will be the last time I'm playing Batman."
Of course, that is far from the final word. Though the Nolan-helmed franchise has always been viewed as being a trilogy, with "The Dark Knight Rises" pretty much guaranteed to be a smash sensation, we're pretty sure Warner Bros. will eventually drive dump trucks full of money and unicorns to Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale's front door to get them to return. But three is a good number, and as much as we really like the Batman franchise,we'd love to see Nolan tackling more of his own original ideas on the big screen. At any rate, you can watch Bale's interview with the irritating Ben Lyons below and it looks like Bale hasn't quite shaken the Boston accent just yet.
ed | November 24, 2010 3:31 AM
let me tell you something about Mr. Bale. He's the greatest actor of his generation!
rodie | November 23, 2010 5:18 AM
I can't see Bale doing another Batman movie without Chris Nolan, UNLESS somehow a badass director comes in to take the reigns and Chris Nolan stays on as a co-writer and/or producer. But that seems like a long shot with Chris Nolan saying this is the end of the story he set out to tell about Batman, then I'd say Bale will hang up the cape, too.
It's almost like Bale has to say goodbye to Batman after TDKR or commit to 3 more films with a new director, and that seems unlikely.
Matt Holmes | November 23, 2010 4:10 AM
About the accent thing... Bale does all his accents for interviews in character. Yup, he's that much of a method actor!

But there's a small subset of educational apps that do more than just teach tots sight words and basic addition skills. They introduce important life skills they'll carry with them in the future — everything from hygiene and fire safety to proper dressing for the weather. Before handing your smartphone or tablet over to your tot for play, check out these five apps that will help prepare them for life. Fire Rescue What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fire safety is no joke, and the Fire Safety app ($2) takes it seriously. The app teaches tots how to stop, drop, and roll; how to touch the door to feel for heat; and — perhaps most importantly — how to dial 911. 1 / 5 Guess the Dress What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Tots have a tendency for wanting to wear their swimsuits in the middle of the Winter and their snow boots on the hottest day of the year. Guess the Dress ($3) not only has beautiful graphics, but it also teaches tots to choose the right items of clothing based on the weather conditions. Help the two main characters decide what to wear for their walk based on the season, and then dress them for their walk. 2 / 5 Awesome Eats What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Want to teach your tot about the difference between fruits, veggies, and whole grains? With Whole Foods' Awesome Eats app (free), kids move food across various surfaces to sort them into three categories, learning healthy eating tips along the way. 3 / 5 Maddie and Matt What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who knew teaching manners could be fun? With Maddie and Matt (free), it certainly is. Lil ones can join the two main characters in an interactive storybook, where they exhibit good manners and kids must choose the right actions to discover fun hidden gems throughout the tale. 4 / 5 Pepi Bath What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pepi Bath ($2) takes personal hygiene lessons to a whole new level — a fun level. Children can choose from boy or girl characters and help them wash their hands, brush their teeth, wash their laundry, and take a bath. With both preset steps or "explore on your own" options, the app offers plenty of opportunities to keep tots entertained — plus the "Unh-Unh" and "That's nice!" commentary from the characters make it all the more fun. 6 / 5 251 211 9 0 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Kids Apps And GamesApps For KidsiPad AppsiPhone AppsParenting parenting Parents Catch Son and Girlfriend Dry Humping, Respond Hilariously 45 minutes ago Why I Apologize to My Kids 6 hours ago Divorced Celebrities Who Keep the Peace For Their Kids 8 hours ago 5 After-School Sports to Enroll Your Kids in Now 13 hours ago How to Sanitize and Store Your Baby Stuff For Round Two 1 day ago How Raising a Second Child Isn't Quite Like Raising the First 1 day ago What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 0Reactions Link Love Mom forced to stop feeding baby homemade formula — BabyCenter Blog The easiest ways to save on organic food — The Stir A look inside Fergie's second baby shower — Celebrity Baby Scoop Danielle Jonas debuts her baby bump — People Moms & Babies 7 light and fresh recipes to take you through Summer — FitPregnancy Does where you live affect your risk for PPD? — The Bump Where to find the best deals on school supplies — Real Simple Now this is how you announce a pregnancy! — HuffPost Parents

Kingston has UK's 10th largest performance gap between rich and poor GCSE students
5:00am Monday 10th February 2014 in News By Jon Sharman, Senior reporter
Kingston has the country's 10th-largest gap in GCSE performance for poorer pupils, Department for Education figures have revealed.
The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals scoring at least five A* to C grades last year was 38 per cent.
But three-quarters of pupils not eligible for the hand-outs hit that benchmark.
The only London borough with a wider achievement gap is neighbouring Sutton.
Liberal Democrat Councillor David Ryder-Mills, lead member for schools, said: "In a way we are a victim of our own success.
"Our free school meals students actually achieve far better than most.
"It is just that our other students succeed even better than that.
"Clearly there is constantly work to be done."
The full effect of the pupil premium, introduced by the coalition Government, has yet to be seen because children taking their GCSEs now have not benefited from it for very long, Coun Ryder-Mills said.
The premium is extra cash given to schools for every student who claims free school meals.
Conservative opposition lead member for schools, Councillor David Cunningham, said the pupil premium was not "the whole story".
He said: "What he [Coun Ryder-Mills] says is not incorrect. But he is not grasping the nettle. It is not just a question of putting more money into it. It is a more complicated subject than that."
Kingston Labour chairman Laurie South said: "I think what it shows is the schools are good if you are reasonably well off or well off, but if you are disadvantaged financially in any way, you are going to get a pretty rough deal in Kingston."
The news follows the publication of GCSE statistics showing how many pupils in the borough's schools achieved the five A* to C grade benchmark last year.
The figure ranged from 13 per cent at Canbury School in Kingston Hill to 100 per cent at Kingston Grammar School.

As Top Leaders Join Winston & Strawn and O'Melveny, the Collapse of Dewey & LeBoeuf Appears Imminent
Posted May 9, 2012 4:27 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Two of the four remaining members of the new management committee at Dewey & LeBoeuf are leaving to join other major law firms.
Litigation chief Jeffrey Kessler is to start next week at Winston & Strawn, where chairman Dan Webb says the firm has hired about 60 Dewey refugees including 24 litigation partners. Meanwhile, Richard Shutran, who co-chairs the corporate department at Dewey, is joining O'Melveny & Myers with four other partners from his soon-to-be-former law firm, according to Bloomberg and Reuters.
At least 27 partners headed for the exits of the struggling law firm on Wednesday, reports the Wall Street Journal (sub. req.).
Saying that the firm is "on the brink of collapse," the DealBook blog of the New York Times reports that the four partners in Shutran's group are Mark Caterini, Junaid H. Chida, Arthur V. Hazlitt and Dev R. Sen.
Relying on unidentified sources, Dealbook also said that Seth Farber and Harvey Kurzweil are among the partners expected to leave with Kessler. Farber and Kurzweil had been assigned to conduct an internal investigation at Dewey of the fifth former management committee member, ousted onetime firm chairman Steven H. Davis.
Kessler heads a sports litigation group that is the best in the U.S., Webb told Bloomberg. He said most of the new Dewey hires are joining his firm's New York office.
Five other Dewey partners are leaving to join Bracewell & Giuliani, the Houston Business Journal reports.
They are: John Klauberg, who will head his new firm's power and utilities practice; Frederick Lark; Catherine McCarthy; David Poe; and Charles Vandenburgh.
The latest departures announced in recent days puts the total number of partners who are exiting the firm in 2012 at more than half of the 300 or so on Dewey's roster at the end of last year, according to Reuters.
Among those whose exits have been announced within the past 10 days are several "linchpin" partners previously identified by Reuters as critical to Dewey's future as a viable law firm.
In addition to Kessler, they include Morton A. Pierce, a top mergers and acquisitions practitioner, and Berge Setrakian, an international business partner who is headed to DLA Piper with at least nine other Dewey partners.
Linchpin partners Bruce Bennett, Martin Bienenstock, Ralph Ferrara and Michael Fitzgerald are still active on Dewey's website, however.

Vt. hopes syrup grade changes will sweeten salesBy DAVE GRAM
THE Associated Press | February 19,2013TOBY TALBOT / AP PHOTO
Four grades of maple syrup are displayed in a gift box in East Montpelier.MONTPELIER Would fancy grade maple syrup by any other name taste as sweet?
Vermont lawmakers are pondering that question as they consider whether to drop the states traditional maple labeling system in favor of an international one.
The change pits tradition versus a desire to be a bigger player in world markets. Vermont is the No. 1 maple syrup producer in the United States, but its unique labeling standards put it at odds with the other big producers, including Canada.
The state Senate last week passed and sent to the House a measure to drop fancy, grade A medium amber, dark amber and grade B. (Fancy is the lightest and mildest, while grade B is the darkest and has the strongest maple flavor.) In their place would be several types sharing a grade A label, with descriptive phrases following: golden color and delicate taste; amber color and rich taste; dark color and robust taste; very dark color and strong taste.
Sen. Kevin Mullin, R-Rutland, initially argued against the measure before reluctantly going along.
We should not be following everyone else in lockstep and ... giving them the ability to try to pretend that syrup made in another state is anywhere near as good as the syrup made in Vermont, he said.
Mullin later said he was mollified by assurances that the changes would be phased in over three years and that producers wouldnt have to throw out containers already printed with the existing labels.
State Agriculture Secretary Chuck Ross said the changes have largely been pushed by the industry, though the agency has conducted a series of public hearings to address the concerns of the more reluctant producers.
Thanks to improvements in technology and growing interest by landowners, Vermonts syrup production has roughly doubled in the past decade, to the extent that supply vastly exceeds any demand that would come from a state of about 626,000, Ross said.
Whats become clear is that the majority of syrup produced in the state of Vermont is sold in national and international markets, Ross said.
Vermont will maintain its distinct branding by labeling its syrup as coming from the state. Connoisseurs will continue to appreciate that Vermont regulations will continue to require boiling sap for longer than is the case elsewhere, producing a slightly denser product, Ross said. But to continue using a separate grading system would lead to consumer confusion, the secretary added.
Doug Bragg, an eighth-generation syrup producer from East Montpelier, said he was taking the changes in stride.
Most of our customers are asking, why do we have to do this? Theres a logic to it, no question about it, Bragg said. Its still annoying though.
Back at the Senate office, where Lt. Gov. Phil Scott was chatting Friday afternoon with the five-member staff, there was broad agreement that people would get used to the changes. The only real debate was over the best grade.
Office assistant Roxy Quero said her preference was for fancy grade, but Scott said he preferred medium amber. Deputy Senate Secretary Steve Marshall said the darker the better for him.
I usually go with grade B, grade C if I can get it, but you have to know somebody, Marshall said. Grade C isnt sold as syrup at retail; its usually use in baked goods or maple candy.
Id take double D if you gave me some, Marshall said.MORE IN Vermont NewsNORTHFIELD Officials at Norwich University are set to celebrate a museum on its Northfield...

NEWS SHEET 4 Part 3.
CORRESPONDENCE: FROM OUR PRESIDENT.Dear George,
You are a fantastic worker. It is amazing that you have been able to accomplish so much in so little time. You put us all to shame and deserve every support we can give you.
Everything you mention in your letter has my (grateful) approval. Go ahead with everything.
What a splendid idea to ask Prince Philip to be our Patron. You can be sure I will do whatever the Society decides I should do about this.
I will try to find ways of getting publicity for the Conference.
Just now I am in the hectic phase of packing up for a sabbatical year. I leave here on 4th May and will be away from Victoria for more than one year. In May I shall be lecturing at various places in Canada and the U.S.A., including the annual convention of I.R.A. at New York City. I shall arrive in England on 1st June. My address there will be Berkshire. It will be my H.Q. for about 5 months. But I will not be there continuously because I have to make trips to many other countries from my centre at Reading.
In the next few days I will try to send off some communications designed to produce publicity for the S.S.S. Conference.
With warmest regards.
Yours sincerely,
John Downing,
(Please help our President, to help us to get better publicity for our conference. Ed.)
PUBLICITY.We need all the publicity we can get for our First International Conference and Summer School in the last week of August this year. Publicity for the Conference is, of course, also publicity for the Society. Almost every Member of the Society could do a great deal to help. Letters to the press, local as well as national, attract a good deal of attention and often produce excellent results. I know this well from often repeated experience. When I was General Secretary of the i.t.a. Foundation we made a great deal of use of writing to the press on topics where we could find some connection with i.t.a. or a connected subject. Recent editions of the Times Educational Supplement, Teachers' World, etc. show that supporters of i.t.a. are again rallying round with supportive letters to the press. Much of the spread of i.t.a. was due to skilful use of the correspondence columns of the press. In general the press feels kindly to education and will usually give, at least, space to any reform which promises to help the quality of education.
To show what I mean a recent letter (below) by our Chairman was published in the Guardian.
"Sir, - Few would quarrel with Dr Eileen Byrne's view that universal literacy should be given the highest priority. But in a time when resources are scarce there is an alternative to redeploying money spent on lower priorities. Let us instead strip English spelling of the inconsistencies that insult the child's sense of reason.The result of this publication was five enquiries for membership of the Society!
If English were spelt as simply as modern Dutch, reading and writing could be taught effortlessly and successfully.
Yours faithfully, Edward Smith, Chairman.
Simplified Spelling Society.
I do not have the resources which the i.t.a. Foundation has for this kind of useful publicity but if only a few members of the Society were to take a more active part in propaganda we should do very well without such resources. A letter, or other item, published in any journal or newspaper must bring some benefit. Local newspapers, trade journals, society journals, church news letters etc. are easier to get published in than national newspapers and often, because of their intimacy, produce a very good effect. May I call on YOU to try a letter to your local paper to get some publicity for our Conference? It doesn't matter where you are - it could always stimulate interest.
If you don't want to try your strength on the press there are always other things you can do to help with publicity. You could, for example, send out some of our leaflets specially produced on the Society's stationery to four or five chosen targets. You might for example send one to your local school and ask the Head if it could be put on the staff notice board. You might send one to the Secretary of the Students Union at your local technical school, college of technology, college of education, university college, etc. We will be happy to send you some leaflets if you write and ask for some. A few minutes of your time could help greatly to make the Conference a success.
[See journal topics re conferences and leaflet about 1987 conference.]
SUGGESTED THEMES FOR CONFERENCE PAPERS.We are still on the look-out for good papers for presentation at our FIRST CONFERENCE. Papers should, in general, be capable of being read in 30 minutes or less, but we would be happy to allocate extra time to very interesting or important work. The following are some ideas which could inspire important papers. Could you speak on any of them - or on any other?
|The Development of Written
How the following work
|Egyptian hieroglyphs, Chinese, Modern ideographs
(traffic signs, Blissymbolics, etc.)
Japanese, Vai, Mandinka, others.
|Modern; in British Isles (Irish, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic)
Ancient; in British Isles, (Runes, Ogham, Anglo-Saxon,
Old & Middle English)
Omitting Vowels (Arabic, Hebrew, Speedwriting, Shorthand)
|History and Development of the letters of our alphabet
History of English Spelling
Defects in English spelling - Where we went wrong, how and why
Consequences of these defects in human and economic terms
Reformed systems (by their inventors, etc.)
Transitional systems (Colour Story, i.t.a. DMS etc.)
The Teaching of Reading - approaches and methods.
|The Difficulties children have in beginning;
at later stages; in spelling
Reading failure; reading difficulties clinic;
Individualised materials; Preparation of materials;
techniques in illustration and lettering, painting, lino-cuts, etc.
(Expert instruction: will be available).
|Reformed and new orthographies; causes and effects of reform
(Dutch, German, Irish etc.)
Experiments in Simplified Spelling and results
Interpretation of Latin and other inscriptions
We think the list above is exhaustive but, if there is any topic omitted upon which you are knowledgeable and on which you would wish to present a paper, we will be happy to consider it.
Anyone who wishes to present a 'paper should obtain a copy of 'NOTES ON PRESENTING A PAPER' from:
Conference Secretary, London.
STOP PRESSI have just heard from Prof. Albert Mazurkiewicz that he will present a paper at the Conference. Mr A. Rondthaler, President of International Typeface Corporation, New York, also is preparing a paper on "Computerised Transliteration".
[See Journal articles by Donald Scragg.]
BOOK REVIEWS."A history of English spelling" by D.G. Scragg, Manchester University Press; boards, 9" x 5?", 130 pages, £2.20 net.
This book gives a concise account of how English spelling as we know it today has developed over the years since the Anglo-Saxons began to use the Roman alphabet. Dr. Scragg traces the effect of French and Latin conventions on our spelling and shows how the reforming proclivities of sixteenth century schoolmasters produced that appalling crop of heterographic homophones (pale/ pail; hear/here, etc.) which bedevil the early efforts of young children in our schools. The last chapter deals with changing fashions in spelling and should be read by all spelling reformers. In spite of its erudition this is a book which is easy to read. I could not put it down until I had finished it. I am told by Dr. Scragg that the book is intended as a temporary filling of an obvious gap until a more substantial account appears. I do not agree with him. I do not think a more substantial account could make the appeal that this book must make to the general reader, to teachers and students of English but I do hope that, when a more substantial account appears, it will be written by Dr. Scragg. Highly recommended. G.O'H.

SUGGESTION FOR LEAFLET NEEDED BY SSS. From Mrs. J. ShelleySimplified Spelling
Do you know?
That the short 'e' sound as in 'pet' is written in at least 16 different ways? e.g. pet, head, leisure, leopard, many, said, says, friend, bury, guest, debt, ledge, cheque, cleanse, phlegm, ate
That the long 'e' sound as in 'meet' is written in 20 different ways? e.g. meet, meat, key, quay, mosquito, vehicle, weir, anaemia, belief, debris, amoeba, geese, leaves, league, these, seize, people, marine, intrigue, siege.
The long 'a' sound is written in 21 different ways; the long 'o' in 16 ways; the long too' as in moon in 21 ways; and the list can be continued on and on.
If we write the letter 'a' it represents different sounds in the words:- at, all, ask, age, about, many, was, area and cottage.
We teach young children that an 'e' on the end of a word makes a vowel say its own name, but what about: - have, give, live, gone, done, come?
It is all a great illogical muddle, and results in a great deal of money being spent to teach reading. More important, our spelling does immeasurable harm to an enormous number of children. It is a scandal that so little is done to press for its reform.
How could spelling be reformed?
It can be done without adding any extra letters at all, e.g. the long a, e, i, o and u sounds could always be written ae, ee, ie, oe and ue. For the purpose of teaching reading these could temporarily be linked by a tie, e.g. maed, hie, foen, shie.
On the other hand, we could add just one new character for the unstressed vowel, (which gives many people spelling problems). For this the international phonetic character of 'ə' could be used, and words spelt:- brekfəst, Jurmən, partikuelər.
Has any other country ever reformed its spelling?
Yes, Russia has, and Holland, Norway, Turkey and Czecho-Slovakia. Spelling has also been simplified in Sweden and Finland. Reading failure as we know it doesn't exist in these countries.
What makes us hesitate with Enqlish Spelling Reform?
We suggest that the main reasons are:-
1. Apathy - together with the attitude, "I've had to master it, why shouldn't they?" Also, to be a good speller is a status symbol. We should lose that'
2. We don't like the look of it. Admittedly. But this wears off. Succeeding generations won't dislike the appearance.
3. Etymological grounds. When these are examined they cannot be very strong, e.g.
1) The old Anglo-Saxon words were written down after the Norman conquest by French-speaking scribes!
2) Chaucer, Shakespeare and Milton all spelt phonetically; but 16th and 17th century scholars (the Latinisers) changed the spelling of many words to make words, as they thought, reveal their classical origin, but they made many mistakes.
The old spelling would still be there for any who wished to study it.
For the Foreign Student
English is a difficult language to learn. We could make it one of the easiest. And with that there is the likelihood of it becoming an International Language.
We must not remain so apathetic to the need for reform. The bright child will read quicker and so absorb more. And for the average and below benefits will be enormous educationally and for many psychologically too. Educated costs will be reduced considerably after the first cost of change is over. Our spelling must be reformed. If you would like to know more, the following books may be purchased through The Simplified Spelling Society - - -

Will Muschamp's key points from Florida's 33-23 win over Tennessee
By Jason Lieser
Gators coach Will Muschamp covered a lot in his post-game press conference following yesterday's 33-23 win against Tennessee. It can be summed up in these six points:
1. Florida had 16 penalties for 150 yards. Some of those were acceptable penalties, some weren't.
"I look at penalties a couple different ways. Are they discipline penalties? You know, when you jump off-sides when we're down in the red zone at the 13-yard line? That's an issue. When you have to call a timeout because we don't get the right personnel in the game, that's an issue. Those are what I call procedural issues and those are discipline penalties. Those are things you have to get corrected. Are they being addressed? Yes. Are they being addressed the right way? Obviously not, because they're still happening.
"But then there's penalties that are aggressive penalties that are judgment calls, and those happen in football, especially the way we play. We play a lot of bump-and-run, man-to-man and deny-the-ball defense. Those things happen sometimes. I'm not saying they're OK and I'm not saying that I tolerate them. We try to coach the player better, to play the receiver differently, and that's obviously what we need to do."
2. Speaking of penalties, Muschamp might not agree with those five pass interference flags when he watches the film.
"If they called it, it's a foul. That's the way I've got to look at it. But as I evaluate it and watch the film, I'm able to tell a young man, 'You're in good position here, and if they call it, it's a foul.'"
3. This offense runs through Chris Rainey and the running game first.
"It's hard for me not to put the ball in Jeff Demps' and Chris Rainey's and Trey Burton's hands right now."
4. Even though the fans groan about field goals, having a healthy Caleb Sturgis will make a huge difference.
"Just to know you feel good and comfortable when he walks on the field. When the ball's on the 35-yard line, you're talking about a 52-yard field goal and you feel very comfortable that he's going to make the field goal."
5. The secondary had occasional communication lapses throughout the game, including on Tennessee QB Tyler Bray's first and third touchdown passes.
"We had two mental errors on touchdowns on the hot to the back before half and then on the tight end there late. It's disappointing. Just some communication issues we've got to clean up."
6. The Gators' pass rush was better than it was in the previous two weeks. One thing you'll hear Muschamp say all the time is that getting pressure with four pass rushers is "the best pass defense in America." Florida seemed to do that consistently against the Volunteers.
"I think so. After every play, I'm generally watching the back end when I see that it's a pass and then I always say on the headset, 'Did we hit the quarterback?' I want to know if we hit him. I heard that a good bit, and that was good."

Ashburn Bathroom Remodeling
Elevating the bathroom experience to a new level by introducing bathroom designs that are not only pleasing to the eyes but also able to give additional comfort is a manifestation of intelligence, practicality and artistry that Ashburn homeowners can appreciate for years to come. This is the essence of home improvement – not just adding a useful dimension to one's living space, but increase the quality of life for those living there.
While others are hesitant to carefully design and plan the over all look of their bathrooms, more people come to realize that this is not just luxury, but an intelligent choice. An elegant and pleasing bath design greatly affects the disposition of people who use it in a positive way. Everyone has a daily bathroom experience, and the first usually occurs early in the day.
Ashburn homeowners can pursue two avenues when engaging in a bathroom remodeling project: to improve their existing bath or construct a new one. For the first option, the bathroom remodel entails adjustment according to the existing elements of the bathroom. Suggestions include implementing a single color scheme, following a certain theme, or installing new fixtures that will improve the over all look of the bathroom. In constructing a new bathroom or investing in a bathroom addition, the burden of adjustment is eliminated. It all boils down to utilizing an empty space with an end goal in mind – creating an excellent Ashburn bathroom based on chosen influences.
In any case some factors should be carefully considered: over-all lighting, air circulation, age of users (adults, teens, or children), layout and floor plan, color and texture scheme, and space utilization. A bath design will not be fully appreciated if the lighting is dull. Brighter illumination is preferred not only for aesthetic purposes but also for safety considerations. In addition, a bathroom has to breathe. Proper air circulation contributes to the over all feel of the space. Window installation can be an option, but acquiring an exhaust fan is also a smart choice for it ensures that the bathroom is well ventilated and filled with fresh air all the time.
The age groups of the members of the family should also be a necessary factor. The bath design should comply with the needs of everyone who lives in the house. Remember that adults have different sense of appreciation of bathrooms compared to teenagers and kids. Thus, the design should be well-crafted to respond to every family member's needs. A technique that may be used is by choosing neutral color and texture scheme that everyone can appreciate.
Space should be wisely used in terms of allocating additional fixture and planning for the layout. Clutter that often leads to chaos should be prevented. This can be effectively eliminated by choosing only the necessary things for one's bathroom.
At Berriz Design our Ashburn bathroom remodeling contractors have the experience and craftsmanship needed to create a spa-like bathroom design that is fully functional and attractive so you can enjoy your own personal oasis. From luxurious bathtubs and shower accessories to glamorous bathroom fixtures and tile work, our team knows how to invoke fine living into your Ashburn bathroom remodel.

Steelers DRE Brett Keisel has drawn a lot of attention for, of all things, his flowing beard. On the field, he's a key — and no longer unsung — member of one of the NFL's top defenses. Despite missing five regular-season games, Keisel was voted a Pro Bowl first alternate, and he was named to take Colts DE Dwight Freeney's spot on the roster on Jan. 15. The 6-foot-5, 285-pound Keisel played particularly well after returning to the lineup in Week 13, notching 21 tackles, defending six passes and recording a pair of sacks in the final five games of the regular season. Solid vs. the run, Keisel brings some pass-rush ability, possessing the strength and quickness to be a tough matchup, especially if aligned vs. a left guard. Keisel's athleticism was on full display when he returned an interception 79 yards for a touchdown at Tampa Bay in Week Three. Twice, Keisel cut back for running room, and he finished strongly.

Curtis McNeal had a hell of a night for the USC Trojans, but his last touch brought him back to Earth. McNeal stepped up in place of Marc Tyler, who was injured on his first carry, and helped carry the Trojans to overtime. But on his final carry of the game, in the third overtime, McNeal lost the handle and Stanford recovered to seal the win.
And we got to see Lane Kiffin face, you guys!
The Cardinal had the ball first in the third overtime, and drove down the field with relative ease to score. The two-point conversion, mandatory after two overtimes, was good as Andrew Luck hit Coby Fleener in the end zone. Fleener was wide open after shucking his defender at the line of scrimmage.
Marquis Lee stepped out at the four on USC's first play of the overtime period, just narrowly missing in his dive for the pylon. And on the next play, McNeal never controlled the handoff, fumbling into the end zone and into the arms of Stanford.
The final score after a wild game in Los Angeles: Stanford 56, USC 48. And yes, Stanford managed to cover the 7.5-point spread.

The dress is gorgeous. I love how it looks on her fair skin. Her turquoise earrings work . The only thing I wished is that the chest area was raised a bit more. It makes her looks a little bit saggy but overall of all the Desperate Housewives she never disappoints.

I think she looks fantastic. with all the gorgeous detail on that dress, any other color would have been overwhelming. She wears it well, with her lovely red hair. Turquoise was a perfect choice for the earrings.

Hate how much of Marcia Cross' cleavage you can see because of that lattice work, makes "the girls" look less perky.

Those diamonds at the midriff are a very bad idea! She's in great shape but she still hasn't lost all of her baby weight (nothing wrong with that, just saying!) so I don't think it was a good idea to draw attention to her waist and hips. The plunging neckline alone would have had all eyes on her boobs so a less detailed bottom half would have been much more flattering on her.

I hate the earrings! And the dress around the middle is bunchy and makes her look larger than she is. Also she is a bit too white for the dress I think.....Not sure, but she is beautiful that's for sure, and I would kill for her skin.

12 courses* distributed as follows: • BIOL 150 Cell Biology • BIOL 190 Botany • BIOL 220 Zoology • BIOL 250 Genetics • BIOL 365 Ecology and Evolution • CHEM 110 General Chemistry I: Chemical Structure and Properties • CHEM 120 General Chemistry II: Chemical Analysis and Reactivity• Four BIOL electives (with laboratories), one of which may be CHEM 330 Biological Chemistry• BIOL 497 Biology Seminar, which requires completing the non-credit seminars BIOL 221 Seminar: Biological Communication and BIOL 222 Seminar: Biometry.
*The Biology Department strongly encourages students to design and carry outindependent research for course credit. However, this credit will not count towardthe four required electives.
The Senior Capstone Experience for the biology major consists of a comprehensiveexamination and participation in the Senior Seminar course. The comprehensiveexamination is the standardized Major FieldTest (MFT), or the Graduate RecordExamination (GRE) in biology. BIOL 497 Senior Seminar is a one semester, non-credit course that meets weekly. During the course each senior presents a formal seminar. The grade for the Senior Capstone Experience is based on both the standardized test score and the Senior Seminar grade.
Any five biology courses (with laboratories) numbered 150 or above.The Biology Department highly recommends that all students pursuinga biology minor take at least CHEM 110 General Chemistry I: Chemical Structure & Properties andCHEM 120 General Chemistry II: Chemical Analysis & Reactivity.
Students planning to certify to teach biology should contact their major advisors and the Education Department for a list of courses required within the major andby the professional societies for licensure.
The following are general guidelines for courses required by manygraduate and professional schools. Students should refer to the Guide for Academic Planning and work closely with their academic advisorsto ensure adequate course preparation for specific post-graduateprograms.
Medical School, Dental School, and Veterinary Medicine programs expect:
• Preparation for qualifying examinations (MCAT, DAT, VCAT) is minimally achieved by completing at least BIOL 150 Cell Biology, BIOL 320 Animal Physiology, and BIOL 250 Genetics.• Two courses in general chemistry and two courses in organic chemistry• At least one course in mathematics• Two courses in physics• Two to three courses in English
Graduate Schools in general expect:
• Biology major• Two years of chemistry through organic chemistry• One year of physics• At least one calculus course• At least one statistics course• Competency in a foreign language
Experience with experimental design (such as through independentresearch), and in some cases, computer programming is highly desirable.Most graduate schools require a reading knowledge in at least one foreignlanguage and/or basic programming skills.
The following courses are designed for non-science majors and may not beused to fulfill requirements for the biology major or minor. They will fulfill the collegiate Natural Science Inquiry Learning Domain requirement and may(check class schedule) fulfill the laboratory requirement.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Wintry weather has returned to Ohio, bringing snow to parts of the state after weeks of unseasonably warmer temperatures and drier conditions.
The National Weather Service said snowfall was expected in southwest and central Ohio on Wednesday, with up to an inch falling by afternoon along the Interstate 71 corridor. Meteorologists from Cincinnati and Dayton to Columbus were warning drivers they'd see slick roads thanks to freezing rain or snow during morning commutes.
The city of Columbus said dozens of trucks were salting roads in the region early Wednesday morning.
Parts of northeastern Ohio were expected to get a lighter snowfall.

CATEGORIES Animation, Comedy, Casting, Disney, Fandom, Family Films, CinematicalI'm not entirely sure where or how /Film dug up this blog post from last summer about the lack of proper female characters taking the lead in Pixar's productions to date, but it's certainly made those of us on Twitter all... a-buzz.
Think about it: Toy Story had Bo Peep and Mrs. Potato Head serve as love interests; A Bug's Life had a princess love interest and spunky tot; Toy Story 2 can claim Jessie as a proper heroine; Monsters, Inc. is back to love interest and spunky kid; Finding Nemo does give Dory a fairly prominent and helpful presence; and The Incredibles has both Helen and Violet as prime role models. Cars and Ratatouille once again reduce the gals to objects of affection, while Wall-E falls for one admittedly assertive robot.
(In fairness, Dreamworks seems to be batting a similar average: for every Princess Fiona or Rita, there's either a Renee Zellweger or a Renee Zellweger around to muck it up.)
Pixar's next project, Up, appears for now to focus solely on one old man and one young boy. While I don't see the box office dipping in the name of all that testosterone, I still wonder if any of you are struck by this gender disparity in the studio's work, and if any sort of affirmative action is going to result in stories compromised just so they can include a Token Stand-Up Female. What say you guys and girls?
