Faculty-Led Study Abroad Program Development Guide
WCU Center For International Programs
WCU International Travel Form Approvals
All West Chester University personnel travelling internationally (outside of the contiguous United States: this includes Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Canada, and Mexico) must receive approval prior to travel and in writing by the Center for International Programs and both the Provost and the University President. There are two key steps and forms to fill out. Both of these forms must be submitted to the Center for International Programs at least 4-6 weeks prior to travel.
A.International Travel Authorization Form
B. Technology Control Plan Forms (signed only by you and emailed directly to firstname.lastname@example.com)
Any questions? Contact the Center for International Programs (x3515 or firstname.lastname@example.com). Detailed instruction and helpful hints for completing the International Travel Authorization form and the Technology Control Plan Form are found below and may be found at:
Note: All Faculty or Staff led study abroad programs (credit or non-credit, sports, club, and music performances etc.) that involve students travelling internationally must be in communication 6-8 months prior to departure with Dr. Peter Loedel (email@example.com) and/or Jeff Conradi (firstname.lastname@example.com) in the Center for International Programs. A program proposal form is required. More detailed information and deadlines can be found at:
A. International Travel Authorization Form:
Please take note of the following:
The same process should be followed upon return and when filing for reimbursement using the travel expense form.
B. The Technology Control Plan Form
PASSHE and WCU developed procedures that will ensure that each of the System schools is in compliance with Federal government regulations regarding Embargo and Export Controls (see PASSHE's Export Control Website). The Center for International Programs, WCU's Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) and the Division of Information Services (IS) has developed a Technology Control Plan that will ensure your international travel compliance with Export Control Laws. WCU employees traveling overseas are required to review and sign the Technology Control Plan Form(s). The traveler is the only person that signs this form and it is emailed directly to firstname.lastname@example.com.
As a general rule of thumb:
The federal rules require all travelers ensure that sensitive digital research data is appropriately protected. If you believe you are traveling with sensitive digital research data or to an embargoed country, the IS Division will need at least a two week notice to review the software and data contained on the laptop (or any other technical device) being taken out of the country. If you have any questions, please contact the University Designated Officer (UDO) for IS - Mr. JT Singh. He may be reached at: E-Mail: email@example.com or Voice: 610) 436-1045.

Man arrested in Somerset as police probe attempted murder near A30
Updated 2:39pm Tuesday 3rd June 2014 in News By Michael Marsh
A 50-YEAR-OLD has been arrested in Somerset on suspicion of attempted murder after a man was found by a busy A-road with a suspected stab wound.
Police were called to an area of the A30 near Lewannick in Cornwall at around 7.30pm yesterday (June 2) after reports of a man injured by the carriageway.
Officers attended and found a man with a chest injury, believed to have been caused by a stab wound.
The man, in his 20s, was airlifted to Derriford Hospital for treatment. His condition is described as stable and he has not suffered any life threatening or life changing injuries.
Detectives later arrested a 50-year-old man from Tiverton on the M5 in Somerset and was taken into custody in Bridgwater, where he remains.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said: "Officers believe the victim and suspect were involved in a minor traffic collision on the A30 involving a white BMW and a silver coloured Vauxhall Astra convertible before the altercation.
"We are keen to hear from any witnesses who saw either vehicle or the two men in the area to contact them on 101 quoting reference 715 of June 2, 2014."

Comment: Re:Untested? (Score 1) 357
Just this month, we found out at a non-US client recently that a new build of our server made it from Dev to Prod *untested* by the bank who was implementing it. A sub-beta-build, at that (spot/hot-fix). It treated a certain type of function call differently (almost unarguably better) than before, however we have to defend why the old version "worked"; while on the new server, this causes a "bug" due to a consultant's *cough cough sorry* poor coding.
I'm all for trashing on the US (though shooting fish in a barrel is generally not recognized as sportsmanlike), as I think it's only being intellectually honest to treat all downward-sloping-gradients equally; but please don't believe that we're exceptional in this regard.

The first thing to do when you have a flat tire is to park your car on a flat area and make sure that the handbrake is engaged. Next, wedge an object or a brick on the diagonally-opposite tire so that the car can be prevented from moving while you are changing the flat tire.
Image source
Then, loosen all the wheel nuts on the flat tire. This act requires considerable strength and the appropriate tool.
At the proper jacking point, jack up the car until the flat tire completely clears the road.
Take out the nuts and make sure they are kept away from dirt or sand.
Remove the flat tire and put it aside and put the spare tire on.
Fit the nuts back on (beveled end first) and tighten the nuts with fingers as much as they will go. Take out the nut if it does not turn properly and remove any sand particles or dirt that may have attached into the screw thread. Refit and tighten. To tighten the nut, use the wrench and then tighten the diagonally-opposite nut. This is to help ensure that the wheel is fitted properly. Repeat the process for the other two nuts.
Now, you can let the car down and remove the jack.

DeMarrais: These tax tips can help you end 2012 on sound footing
April 15 is still more than four months away, but it's only two weeks until another key deadline.
I'm talking about Dec. 31, when we close the books on nearly all of our earnings and expenses as they relate to federal and state income taxes. Act by then, and they're part of this year's tax filing; miss the deadline, and you could end up paying more in taxes than needed.
To help consumers, I've asked four CPAs and financial advisers for steps you can take now to soften the blow on Tax Day.
One caveat: As I write this, the folks in Washington are trying to draw a financial road map for the country, so specifics could change.
Alyssa Lebovic, partner in Keller & Lebovic CPAs in Fair Lawn:
* If you own stocks, see which of them have appreciated in value and consider selling them before year end. New Jersey doesn't allow losses to be carried forward, so if you had other losses this year, they'd be wasted if you had no gains to offset them and the losses would shield gains from tax.
* If you're below the 25 percent bracket — taxable income after all deductions ($70,700 joint, $35,350 married filing separately or single, and $47,350 for head of household) — this is the last year that long-term capital gains are taxed at zero percent — yes, zero percent — for people in these brackets so long as the gains don't cause you to exceed this amount of income.
* Even if you are above this threshold, or a portion of the gain is, that long-term gain will be taxed at only 15 percent this year, but 20 percent next year if nothing in the tax law changes.
Tom Orecchio, principal and wealth manager of Modera Wealth Management LLC in Westwood:
Assuming that some amount of the Bush tax cuts sunset this time, here are a few things to consider:
* Assuming that the capital gains tax goes to 20 percent (and for some, an additional 3.8 percent for a 23.8 rate), consider rebalancing your portfolio and taking gains prior to year's end. However, if you have large carry-forward losses, this strategy becomes less urgent. This applies not only to your portfolio but also to other assets that receive capital-gains treatment like a closely held small business, a house, company stock, etc.
* Consider relocating some of your asset classes. High-dividend-paying stocks, taxed at 15 percent could go to as much as 39.6 percent for some investors. That would trigger an argument that they should be placed in an IRA account as opposed to a taxable account. Asset location is an often overlooked, yet important part of any portfolio strategy.
* Consider gifting. The estate tax code is part of the likely changes on Jan. 1, so if you have the desire and the ability to gift large amounts of assets, doing so prior to the end of the year could take advantage of the current rules, which are likely to be more favorable than possible new rules.
* If you have the ability to increase your income in 2012 rather than 2013, consider doing it. Small-business owners are usually advised to forward expenses to reduce the current year tax bite. This time the argument is the opposite: Forward income instead.
* Consider a Roth IRA conversion. Roth conversions trigger taxable income, and converting this year is likely to be less expensive (all other things being equal) than next year, from a tax perspective.
Lauren Locker, principal, Locker Financial Services LLC, Little Falls
* If you think taxes will be lower this year than next, ask if incentive payments such as bonuses can be reflected in 2012 rather than a January payout in 2013.
* Consider selling some investments with taxable gains to lock in the 15 percent tax rate in 2012.
* Have you taken your RMD — required minimum distribution? A retirement-plan account owner must withdraw annually starting with the year he or she reaches 70 1/2 years.
* Consider paying some deductible expenses in 2012 such as property taxes, or having dental or medical elective procedures done to accelerate your deductions.
* Increase or maximize your 401(k) contributions by year's end.

I thought it'd be fun to use Baseball-Reference's Split Finder tool to see how the O's are doing in various situations. There's some interesting data and fun observations to be had here. All stats are through Sunday.
Pitching Splits
- Away: 3.81 ERA, batters are hitting .252/.319.388 against O's pitchers.
- Home: 4.87 ERA, batters are hitting .258/.341/.440. The offensive boost given by OPACY rears its head here.
- vs. right-handed batters: 3.93 ERA, batters are hitting .238/.315/.383.
- vs. left-handed batters: 4.74 ERA, batters are hitting .273/.346/.444. We see now where the damage is being done.
- Bonus split: lefty-on-lefty. 4.23 ERA, .260/.295/.418. O's lefties get hit pretty hard by left-handed batters. Not what you want to see.
Starters' splits by times through lineup:
- First time faced: 3.87 ERA, .234/.311/.382.
- Second time faced: 4.76 ERA, .263/.336/.432.
- Third time faced: 6.91 ERA, .311/.378/.547. Basically, if you face an Orioles starter for the third time in a game, you hit like Mike Trout. Yikes.
- In plate appearances that begin in a 1-0 count, O's pitchers allow a batting line of .271/.385/.433.
- In plate appearances that begin in an 0-1 count, O's pitchers allow a batting line of .214/.270/.351. You can see the correlation of success and a first-pitch strike in these numbers.
Batting Splits
- Away: On the road, O's batters hit .273/.326/.451.
- Home: .256/.322/.418. You can see why the O's lose at home; the pitchers allow an extra run every nine innings and the hitters do worse than they do on the road.
- vs. RHP: .278/.340/.447.
- vs. LHP: .232/.286/.408. Why can't we hit lefties?
- Bonus split: lefty-on-lefty. .228/.282.368.
- First time faced: .300/.344/.533. The O's like to score early!
- Second time faced: .236/.295/.398.
- Third time faced: .284/.355/.420. It's fascinating to me that the second matchup is so bad but the third one is quite good.
- In plate appearances that begin in a 1-0 count, O's batters hit .264/.372/.450.
- In plate appearances that begin in an 0-1 count, O's batters hit .256/.289/.394.

Bradley County Mayor Gary Davis has named a new fire chief to fill the position vacated when former chief Dewey Woody resigned last October to accept a position with the State Fire Marshall's Office.
Davis has named fire department veteran Troy Maney to the chief's position, according to a news release. Maney served many years as deputy chief and has more than 30 years management experience, including personnel, payroll and accounting, according to the release. He also reportedly assisted with the merger of the Bradley County/Charleston Fire Departments.
Maney is taking over a newly expanded fire and rescue department which recently built three new fire halls and added 60 additional firefighters.
Davis praised interim chief Troy Spence who guided the department's growth over the past 8 months, while also serving as the County's EMA Director.

How to Narrow Your Topic
"I'm writing a paper on World War II."
Often students start their research with a very general topic, even though they may realize the topic is too large to deal with in a 10-15 page paper. Faculty and librarians tell them, "You have to narrow this down." But how do you narrow a topic?
Thought experiments to try:
- Think about your topic from the disciplinary perspective. If you are in a sociology class, ask a sociological question about World War II, like "How did WWII affect women?" If it's a political science class, your question might be something like "How did WWII affect presidential elections in the US?"
- Think about subsets or aspects of your topic. Some good aspects are:
- by place, such as a country or region
- by time period, such as a century, decade or year
- by population, such as men, women, ethnic group, youth, children or elderly
You can combine these ideas, "What were the major impacts of WWII on women in France, in the decade after the war?"
Take a look at our brief tutorial on topic selection and narrowing. (Slides 5-9 of the tutorial deal with topic narrowing.)
Getting Started with Libraries
In addition to the UC Digital Collections and the large Doe Moffitt Library, there are several subject specific libraries on campus. If your legal studies topic overlaps or intersects with another discipline, such as public health, business, social welfare, psychology, education, ethnic studies, governmental studies, you should consider a visit to the relevant specialty library. Check the Libraries webpage for links to each specialty library's collections, hours and services. You will also see links to some of the special collections at Doe Moffitt, and the rich archival and special collections at the Bancroft Library.
Digital collections span the globe. Fortunately, the web makes it possible to search these collections, although full-text viewing is not always guaranteed (free or otherwise). Although search engines such as Google may be useful as a start, the best way to search any digital collection is to use the search engine most closely affiliated with the content. For example, to search the African American/American Memory online collection produced by the Library of Congress, use its native search engine.

How much big hair can the world take? Long extensions and lots of barrel curls have had their time in the limelight, but sometimes the work to achieve those looks is more than a girl can take -- your arms start to ache holding the curling iron, and your wallet starts to ache paying for the fake hair. Why not be a rebel with a cause and go for haute, not huge, hair?
Style Sessions took a best-of survey of our expert stylists' favorite slicked back 'dos. The coolest part about sleek, slicked-back hair is that the look works wherever you're going: at work, at a restaurant with your dude or your girls, or at a fancy affair. Each style's glam factor depends on the accessories and makeup -- versatility is your friend! Check these out:
Rows of Admirers
Singer Alicia Keys made cornrows and multi-braids the hottest hair. It's tight, it's polished, and with excellent earrings, you're the girl in the room with all the soul.
How To Get The Look: The look Style Sessions' experts like best is the three-part French braid. Start by spraying a hairbrush with firm-hold hair spray and thoroughly brush your one-day dirty hair (unless your hair is prone to the serious 'greasies') so that the hair isn't too slippery-clean. Create two parts, starting at the forehead's hairline and making your way to the base of the neck. The parts' starting points should be in line with the pupils of your eyes. Gather the center section and pile it out of the way in a tight knot on top of the head. Starting with the right side, French braid the hair to its length tips and secure with an elastic. Repeat this on the far left section; braid the center section last. Take the three "tail" sections and braid them tightly together to create an illusion of one braid. Dust the head with a light-hold hairspray. This should create a cornrow effect without the time and cost of visiting a salon.
Style Sessions Tip: Big hoop earrings are urban-groovy for a funky look, while elegant chandelier or drop earrings are an elegant approach to slick braids. Since your hair is doing a lot, opt for natural makeup and glossed lips.
Nice, Tight Buns
All stylists are fond of beautiful buns, whether they are sloppy and sexy or slick and sexy.
How To Get The Look: For a tight, slicked-back bun, start by spraying a hairbrush with firm-hold hairspray and thoroughly brush the hair (it can be clean or one-day dirty). Take a quarter-size dollop of wax or pomade product and rub it in your palms. Start by applying the product at the base of your neck, and work your way up and forward, being careful not to get too much in the front. (You don't want your hair greasy; you want it "glued" to itself.) You can do a side-part, middle part, or opt for no part. Just make sure you use a comb and create a perfectly straight part. Then, back comb the crown and smooth over. Gather the hair at the base of the neck, brushing or combing until the hair has no ridges, bumps or loose strands, then secure tightly in a pony with a clear elastic. Take the pony and twist the hair creating a smooth tube, then wrap the tube tightly around the elastic. Secure the twist into the elastic with bobby pins, angling each pin first toward the scalp then sideways. Try to hide each pin under the bun.
Style Sessions Tip: Dramatic smoky eyes are amazing with this look because all your hair is, essentially, behind you. If smoky eyes aren't your thing, you can go for classic eyes and super-bold red lips. For an added feminine touch, take a half-inch-wide black ribbon and tie it around the bun, knotting it (no bow, please) underneath the bun; leave no more than four-inches of ribbon hanging below the bun.
Wrap It Up
Pressed for time but your bangs look like they're trying to escape from your face? Or maybe your hair is quite dirty but you can't deal with the effort to wash that wig? Time to channel what our stylists call your inner '60's glamour housewife.
How To Get The Look: Thoroughly brush your hair. Smooth the hair with a pomade to control frizzies or flyaways. Create long side-bangs by creating a far side-part and smoothing down on the forehead. Back-comb the crown with a fine-toothed comb to create a lift. Secure hair with an elastic either right at the crown or just below the crown, but don't pull the hair all the way through (so that instead of a ponytail, you create a loop with the hair). Take the "tail" underneath the loop, twist it, and secure it around the elastic for a cleaner look. Next, take a patterned silk (or poly blend) scarf and fold it corner to corner creating a triangle; from the top point of the triangle, fold over in two-inch sections creating a long tube. Tie the tube-shaped scarf on the head, just behind the bangs, to create a '60s mod look. Knot tightly at the base of the neck.
Style Sessions Tip: Scarves sometimes slip backward, so try securing the scarf with strategically placed bobby pins near the ears. Add gold hoop earrings and you are paparazzi ready!

Ohio Gov. John Kasich thinks Cincinnati is a "cool, happening place," and that Ohio can be the best state in the country.
Just don't get him started about Indiana.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the first-term Republican took a shot at Ohio's western neighbor in a speech Monday night to the Hamilton County GOP.
Kasich says Ohio has more to offer, with great cities, diversity, health care and location.
He says Ohio "is not Indiana," where once someone goes to Indianapolis, they'd wonder where else to go. Kasich asked: "Gary?"
Kasich used a similar line to The New York Times for a story last year on Ohio's economy and the presidential election. That time, instead of Gary, he reportedly he threw up his hands and asked: "Terre Haute?"

Speedway opens its doors to dare-devil kart drivers
7:00am Saturday 8th December 2012 in News
A former 'Buddhist temple' has been transformed into a race course for adrenaline-seeking drivers.
The Race Centre by the Ace of Spades in Hook Rise North, Hook, opened its doors for the first time this week.
The games and entertainment venue will now be open seven days a week with a bar on site and the chance to drive Mini Coopers, Lamborghini Gallardos and Formula Fords.
Manager Julian Gibbs said: "I think it was a Buddhist temple here before and it still has quite a calm atmosphere.
"Everyone still seems to end up sitting cross-legged."
But Jim Taylor, vice-chairman of the Chessington Residents' Association, said: "They always seem to cram these things into Chessington somehow.
"We are not for it. We are still trying to get in touch with the council about their change of use of planning application."

I had a discussion with some friends last night about the meaning of the phrase "the meek will inherit the earth" in Matthew 5:5. There were a whole lot of different ideas flying around. Just wondering, is that talking about this present earth, or the next? Also, is it speaking corporately or individually? Not sure if there's a "right" answer for this question.
It depends on which tradition you subscribe to.
Present Earth or New Earth?
Covenant theology (with an amillenial eschatology, this would include Presbyterians) would say that the meek are going to inherit the current earth, which will be renewed, while most dispensationalists (with a millenial theology, most Americans in Bible/Baptist backgrounds) would hold to the view that the current earth will be destroyed, and a new earth will be created. 2 Peter 3:13 says:
The covenant theologian would say that this word for "new" really means "renewed" while the dispensationalist will argue that it means "new", as in a brand new creation, unrelated to the last.
Corporate or Individual?
I would have to argue that in both situations, it's saying that the meek will, corporately, inherit the earth. The word for "meek" in the original Greek is rendered in the plural, so it's talking about a group of meek people, as opposed to a singular meek person.

CATEGORIES DVDsTwo comedies that involve mistaken identity, slapstick and farce come to the fore this week. First there's the Steve Carell-Tina Fey pairing in 'Date Night,' in which a staid married couple decides to enliven their relationship by painting Manhattan red -- but with unintended consequences. Then there's 'Death at a Funeral,' a remake of a British comedy about a dysfunctional family attending their patriarch's funeral -- also with a host of unintended consequences. Read on. 'Date Night'
What It's About: Steve Carell and Tina Fey star as a sensible, loving couple with two kids and a house in suburban New Jersey. Their typical date nights include a run-of-the-mill evening with little-to-no romance, but one night they decide to reignite the spark by going to Manhattan's hottest new restaurant ... without a reservation. They get more than they bargained for when a case of mistaken identity hurtles them into an adventure involving corrupt cops, a mob boss and a crazed cab driver.
It's Kinda Like: 'Did You Hear About the Morgans?' meets 'Adventures in Babysitting'
What We Say: What happens when you take two talented comedians and give them a mediocre script with a done-to-death story line? You have this lukewarm comedy that somehow provides some major laughs despite plodding direction by Shawn Levy ('Night at the Museum'); you just can't beat Carell and Fey as a modern-day Lucy and Ricky. But what's with the over-the-top car chase?

'Death at a Funeral'
What It's About: When the patriarch of a dysfunctional family dies, his funeral turns into a family circus. Things start out poorly when the wrong body shows up in the coffin; that's followed by a sibling rivalries, a psychedelic drug overdose, blackmail, indecent exposure and a corpse that won't stay in the box. Oh yeah, add in some nasty bathroom scenes and old family skeletons. Remake of the 2007 British film of the same name.
It's Kinda Like: 'The Big Chill' meets 'Harold and Maude'
What We Say: At times funny, this Neil LaBute ('Nurse Betty') comedy for the most part squanders a great cast (Martin Lawrence, Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, Zoe Saldana, Loretta Devine, Danny Glover, Regina Hall, James Marsden, Luke Wilson, Ron Glass, Keith David and Peter Dinklage) on shtick and slapstick. There's too much crudeness and not enough real farce to sustain much interest; most of the characters are so unlikable you just don't give a hoot what happens to them. We stuck it out to the end to see how the gay-midget plot line got resolved.

Isaev, Matsumoto identify team spirit for success
LONDON, England (AFP) — Olympic judo gold medallists Mansur Isaev and Kaori Matsumoto put their success at the London Games yesterday down to team spirit in their respective camps.
Russian Isaev won the men's Under-73kg Division and then praised the impact of head coach Ezio Gamba, an Italian Olympic champion in 1980.
And Matsumoto said her women's Under-57kg success was aided by her Japanese team - mates who had failed in their medal bids the previous two days.
Isaev beat world champion Riki Nakaya in the final with a counter to the Japanese fighter's pick-up attempt.
That was the second judo gold medal won by Russia already at these Games following Arsen Galstyan's Under-60kg victory on Saturday.
"The whole system changed with the arrival of our new coach, former Olympic champion Gamba," he said.
"Our physical training and preparation changed. Now we take part in all the competitions all over the world to get the necessary experience for everyone to become a good team.
"So I want to say a huge thanks to him and many thanks to all the coaches.
"We worked a lot together, we travelled together, we spent most of our time together as a team.
"Our head coach (Gamba) didn't say 'you're the best,' but he made us understand that we can work to be the best.
"He said you'll work and train 300 days a year and that's what we did. He's a great man and my thanks go to him and his team."
Isaev also had to beat world number one Wang Ki-Chun in the semi-finals as he took the hard route to finishing top of the pile.
Wang, a twice world champion and silver medallist four years ago, nearly pulled off a miracle.
He snapped ligaments and damaged muscles in his arm in his second fight as he resisted an armlock against Rinat Ibragimov of Kazakhstan.
He won three fights despite the injury; but came up short at the end, losing to Ugo Legrand of France for bronze.
Mongolia's Nyam-Ochir Sainjargal took the other bronze medal by beating third-seed Dex Elmont of the Netherlands.
Matsumoto revealed her success was helped by Tomoko Fukumi and Misato Nakamura.
All three were gold medal favourites as Japan dominates in their weight divisions to such an extent that they have the best two fighters in each category.
World number one Fukumi lost for bronze in the Under-48kg Division, while world champion Nakamura lost early in the Under-52kg category.
And yet both put their disappointment to one side to cheer on Matsumoto.
"I was able to get gold on behalf of my colleagues Fukumi and Nakamura so I'm very happy," said Matsumoto.
"There was indeed pressure, but I did what I wanted to do along the way and I think that helped me to get this medal.
"Before the final I wasn't saying much because I was getting ready, but Fukumi told me: 'It's your first time here so just go for it', and Nakamura said: 'You're going to get our first gold medal'."
Matsumoto won the final when Romania's Corina Caprioriu was disqualified for an illegal foot sweep from behind in a sudden death period of golden score.
American Marti Malloy beat Beijing champion Giulia Quintavalle of Italy and was joined on the podium by France's Automne Pavia.

Thanks to a 59-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter by Tampa Bay linebacker Derrick Brooks, the NFC was able to beat the AFC 23-17 to win the 2006 Pro Bowl.
With Brooks, cornerback Ronde Barber and punter Josh Bidwell, who made his first trip to Hawaii this year, Sunday definitely turned into a pewter Pro Bowl thanks to Brooks' score, which earned him MVP honors.
With just over five minutes left in the third quarter, Brooks stepped in front of San Diego tight end Antonio Gates and picked off a pass from Kansas City quarterback Trent Green at the NFC 41-yard line. Once he secured the ball, Brooks took off down the right sideline before dodging Green and cutting to the left where he outraced Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez and Cincinnati offensive tackle Willie Anderson for a touchdown. Brooks' 59-yard score at the 5:01 mark in the third quarter broke a 10-10 tie and gave the NFC a 17-10 lead.
"I was kind of cruising," Brooks told ESPN sideline reporter Suzy Kolber. "Then I saw guys coming and I had to show a burst of speed. All of the guys were coming down there and saying, 'We didn't know you had that! We didn't know you had that!' I said, 'That's good. You'll know next year.'"
When asked how this touchdown return compared to a previous Pro Bowl score, Brooks, who finished the game with two tackles, said: "This one was a lot longer. The other one was about 10 yards and I was able to trot in. This one here required some running skills. I just thank God that I caught it and kept going."
Kolber asked Brooks, who carries a salary cap value of over $11 million next year, about whether he would be back in Tampa Bay given the Bucs' cap situation.
"Don't worry about it," Brooks said. "I'm not [worrying about it]. I still plan on being in Tampa Bay. You can't believe everything you hear. I still plan on being in Tampa Bay and I plan on finishing my whole career there."
Bidwell had a great debut in the Pro Bowl with a 48.4-yard average on five punts, but that gaudy average was aided by a mulligan. At the start of the third quarter, a 12-men on the field penalty on the AFC erased an embarrassing 19-yard punt by Bidwell, who responded with a 58-yard blast on the re-kick that was downed inside the 1-yard line by Carolina wide receiver Steve Smith.
Barber finished the game two tackles and a pass break up on the AFC squad's final drive, and did a nice job of shutting down Cincinnati wide receiver Chad Johnson, who was held to two catches for 15 yards.
Because they were on the winning NFC team, Brooks, Barber and Bidwell each received $40,000 for their participation in the game. Each AFC player received $20,000 for being on the losing side of the scoreboard.

Top Teachers: Chris Tickle
Steward School, fourth grade
In Chris Tickle's class at The Steward School, students can never be sure who might show up to teach a lesson.
One day it might be "Augustus Porcularis," an ancient Roman pig farmer who teaches Roman numerals.
On another day a giant bee might visit to teach about the verb "to be." Or "Gramma Grammar," a prim and proper British matron, might drop in for a chat about the beauty of the English language.
"It is not at all unusual," wrote an admiring parent, "for Mr. Tickle to put on a housecoat and wig or a head-to-toe Cat-in-the-Hat regalia at a moment's notice. . . And who else would show up at school dressed in full knight gear as 'Sir Cumference' to teach a brand new geometry theory to 9-year-olds?"
The theatricality comes naturally to Tickle, whose wife once bought him a print featuring the quote, "Good teaching is one-quarter preparation and three-quarters theatre."
A theatre major in college, he had always loved school and learning, but initially passed up education studies to pursue other fields.
"After working in the 'real world' for a number of years," Tickle said, "I realized that I really missed being in a learning environment . . . [and] decided to follow my heart where it had always been."
But don't for a moment assume that Tickle's playful, out-of-the-box teaching methods mean he is a soft touch, or that his classroom is all about play. Steward parents will attest to his ability to deliver "a loving dose of tough love when necessary."
And Tickle will tell you that one of his most rewarding moments was getting a note from a former middle school student whose classmates – described by Tickle as "low-motivation" – had been given a dose of that tough love.
"I felt I needed to let [those students] know that once they left my school and headed to high school, they would be in for a rude awakening," Tickle recalled. A year later, one student wrote to thank him for being so hard on him. "Using my own words, he told me that once he got to high school, he did feel like he had been hit by a truck, but he had learned from it and was actually doing okay."
Whether he is coaching his Destination Imagination teams (which have made it as far as the Top 10 in the Global Finals), leading his fourth-graders through writing exercises, or motivating kindergartners-through-fifth-graders in reading achievement assemblies, Tickle said he is constantly striving to help students discover the joy of learning and the desire to continue to learn throughout their lives.
He also strives to get to know them as individuals, according to parents, and takes a sincere interest in every student.
Just before school begins each year, Tickle sends out letters inviting each student to write a letter about himself or herself. By year's end, he knows them all well enough to create his annual version of Dr. Seuss' Oh The Places You'll Go – "with a full stanza," said a parent, "tailored for each student in the class.
"What could be more touching to any parent?"
Tickle can cite many touching moments of his own, but especially enjoys watching his students experience the "ah-ha" moment when they finally grasp a concept. Not long ago, one student was dejected over hitting a roadblock with long division. Despite weeks of approaching it from all different angles, and "copious amounts of encouragement," he had not caught on. But then "his face suddenly lit up with a huge smile," said Tickle, and he announced, "I finally got it!"
The thrill of seeing that face has yet to wear off, said Tickle, who notes that he thinks about his students ("current, past, and sometimes even future ones") day and night. "I don't stop being a teacher when the final bell rings."
He also never stops thinking about what he can do to become better at his profession.
"As far as I'm concerned, being a teacher is one of those things that is just part of who you are. I honestly can't imagine doing anything else."

Philippines ambassador to the US visits Filipino Festival in Henrico
The Ambassador of the Philippines to the United States Jose L. Cuisia, Jr. attended the Ninth Annual Filipino Festival at Our Lady of Lourdes Church earlier this month.

'Planes' sequel crashes
'Fire and Rescue' proves too predictable, boring
Planes: Fire and Rescue opens with a dedication to the hero firefighters of the world. It's an admirable notion, and it makes sense, given that this is a film about planes that fight fires.
But here it might be a little out of place, as Planes: Fire and Rescue has a few things on its mind besides supporting the men and women who routinely throw themselves into burning buildings.
Like money. Lots and lots of money – into the 11-figures-and-counting range. In case you weren't aware, 2006's Cars was the biggest moneymaker Disney had in decades – not because of how much green the film printed at the box office, but because a combination of toys, games and snack foods stamped with the Cars seal of approval routinely pulls in tens of billions of dollars per year. > Read more.

INDIANAPOLIS — There's not a lot the players of the Patriots and Giants can agree on these days. They are, after all, confident that their respective teams will walk out of Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday night as the Super Bowl champion.
We did find a topic that a few players from New York and New England can agree on, however.
Patriots RB Stevan Ridley, a rookie out of LSU, and Giants CB Corey Webster, a seventh-year vet out of the same school, believe that Morris Claiborne is on the verge of becoming a special pro player.
Claiborne, an LSU junior cornerback who declared for the 2012 NFL draft, is currently the No. 2-ranked prospect in PFW's draft database.
Both Super Bowl players were effusive in their praise of Claiborne.
"Mo's a special player, man," Ridley said of his former teammate. "I think he's the best cornerback in college football right now for the simple fact that he and (Cardinals CB-PR) Pat Peterson played together, and you look at what Pat's done and his contributions this early in his NFL career. And I think that Mo is just as good of a corner as Pat. Mo is very talented. He's lock-down. You can leave him out there and let him cover his side of the field or whoever you want to match him up with. I think he'll come out as the better defender, with no regards to what receiver you put him up against."
Webster, who found himself a little surprised to be talking about the draft in the days leading up to the Super Bowl, was equally as complimentary about Claiborne.
"I think Mo is great," Webster said. "I think that Peterson was a raw athlete. A lot of things came easier for him. I think Mo Claiborne is a little more sound. He's fundamentally sound to go to the next level. He don't have to rely so much on athletic ability. But they're two really good athletes; two great corners. I think that's the only difference between them."
Despite the fact that he is several years older than Claiborne and they have never been teammates, Webster is proud to have a relationship with the future first-rounder.
"That's my guy. That's my dude," Webster said. "He's at LSU, and I go back there and work out all the time, so that relationship is easy to have. I use the facilities, I work out with the players, so any way I can help those guys. Just information — they ask me questions, what to expect, what not to expect. I want to give them anything I (can). I got my relationship with Chad Jones, with Pat Peterson, Mo Claiborne. We always keep it close-knit at LSU. They're like my little brothers to me."
Webster refused to play NFL general manager and predict where Claiborne would be drafted, thought most draft experts have him coming off the board within the first 10 picks. In PFW draft analyst Nolan Nawrocki's first mock draft, he slotted Claiborne at No. 6 in the first round to the Redskins.
"I have no idea," Webster said. "I just hope and pray — you know it's a blessing to play in this league — so I hope and pray he's the first corner taken, he's the first DB taken, and represents LSU well."
Claiborne wasn't the only top-10 talent to be discussed by Super Bowl players. Despite being an LSU guy, Ridley spoke very highly of Alabama RB Trent Richardson.
"I don't care too much for 'Bama, I think everybody knows that," Ridley stated. "That's our rival. But a good player's a good player, regardless of what uniform he wears."
He then provided his own scouting report of PFW's No. 6-ranked prospect.
"Trent's going to be an excellent back in the NFL," Ridley said. "He runs hard. He runs with power and he has great speed. That's really the big thing. You look at backs that come out of the SEC, and I feel that if you get it done in the SEC, you can get it done in the pros. Trent has had a bulls-eye on his back ever since he got there, the same as (Mark) Ingram did, and they knew that. That was a two-headed monster, so each game that he played, they were looking for him, they were gunning for him, he still found a way to be productive. So that's the thing, he's going to get up in here in the league, and he's going to have some players around him, not that he didn't have them at Alabama, but he'll probably be in a more balanced system where he's at, and Trent will be a great back in the NFL."
Patriots DE Mark Anderson, who came out of Alabama, got into the act of amateur draft analyst, too, chiming in on some of his school's pro prospects.
"I still follow it closely," Anderson said. "(S Mark) Barron jumps out at me. I like the way he comes up and hits you. I like the way he plays — that fire and intensity that he plays with. Also, Richardson, I like the way he runs the ball. He runs hard-nosed, gets after it. He pounds it for every yard he gets. Those two really stand out to me. (LB Courtney) Upshaw, he's a good linebacker, as well. But those (first) two guys really stick out in my mind when I think about Alabama."
PFW has Barron as the No. 8-ranked player and Upshaw is currently the No. 10-ranked player.

Editors of PBS's "This Old House" have named 61 neighborhoods considered to that have promising futures, strong communities, and homes worthy of a long-term commitment. Ranging from big cities to small towns, editors looked across North America to find unique, tight-knit neighborhoods for their sixth annual search for the Best Old-House Neighborhoods. Chattanooga's St. Elmo district was among those named.The editors said: "Though its homes and buildings suffered from neglect when many residents left for the suburbs in the 1960s and 1970s, the neighborhood has been on an upswing. Today, owners of all ages and walks of life are restoring historic houses to their original splendor, and small businesses have been emerging in the commercial district built around the intersection of St. Elmo and Tennessee Avenues."READ MORE | Best Old House Neighborhoods 2013

I'm often asked to translate words and phrases into various languages. Without any context this is particular challenging as a word in English might have more than one possible translations in another language.
The other day, for example, I was asked to translate "Scottish Pride" into Scots and Scottish Gaelic. The Scots version is easy, "Scots Pride", and the Scottish part is easy in Scottish Gaelic, "na h-Alba", but there are quite a few equivalents of pride, each of which has slightly or very different meanings. Dwelly gives the following translations of pride:
- ain-mèin – pride, haughtiness, arrogance, frowardness.
- ànart – pride, disdain, contempt.
- àrdan – pride, haughtiness; anger, wrath; height, eminence, hillock
- barracaid – pride; loud talk.
- boiteal – pride, haughtiness, arrogance.
- borraileachd – pride.
- bròd – pride, arrogance, haughtiness; chastisement;
- cuidealachd – pride.
- diomas – pride, arrogance; defiance.
- làstan – pride, sauciness, lordliness boasting for nothing.
- mórchuis – pride, pomp, magnificence, splendour; boasting, vainglory, ambition, state, pride, glory; exploit
- pròis – pride, haughtiness; flattery; humouring, cajoling; ceremony; neat, punctilious little female, prude; conceit; niceness
- pròisealachd – pride, haughtiness; punctiliousness, niceness, ceremoniousness; humouring nattering; punctilious prudery or neatness.
- spailp – pride, spirit, courage, boldness; conceit, self-conceit; foppish young man, beau; airs of importance; armour, belt; kiss; lie; attitude of the foot stretched out, as of a self-important fellow
- starn – pride, haughtiness, conceit.
- stàt – pride, haughtiness.
- stràic – pride, self-conceit; swell of anger or passion
- uabhar – pride, insolence, bluster, vainglory; pomp; heat; extreme pride
- baiseal – pride, arrogance, haughtiness.
- barracaideachd – pride, sauciness.
- cuidealas – pride, conceit, forwardness.
- leòime – pride, self-conceit; foppishness, prudery, coquetry.
- leòm – pride, conceit, gaudiness, foppishness, vainglory, prudery; drawling pronunciation; flattery
- rimhiadh – pride.
- uaibhreachas – pride, pomp, vainglory, haughtiness, arrogance; insolence; great haughtiness, extreme degree of pride or vainglory
Without any context, I would guess that "Mórchuis na h-Alba" might be a good translation of "Scottish Pride".
In English pride can have a number of meanings as well. According to the OED it can mean:
- A high, esp. an excessively high, opinion of one's own worth or importance which gives rise to a feeling or attitude of superiority over others; inordinate self-esteem.
– Personified, esp. as the first of the seven deadly sins.
- Arrogant, haughty, or overbearing behaviour, demeanour, or treatment of others, esp. as exhibiting an inordinately high opinion of oneself.
- A consciousness of what befits, is due to, or is worthy of oneself or one's position; self-respect; self-esteem, esp. of a legitimate or healthy kind or degree.
- The feeling of satisfaction, pleasure, or elation derived from some action, ability, possession, etc., which one believes does one credit.
- Magnificence, splendour; pomp, ostentation, display
- A group of lions forming a social unit.
- The best, highest, or most flourishing state or condition; the prime; the flower.
Pride is derived from proud, from the Old French prod/pro/prot/proz (courageous, valiant, good, noble), from the post-classical Latin prode (profitable, advantageous, useful), from the classical Latin prōdesse (to be of value, be good).

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg — Joseph H. Naderman, 66, Millhousen, left this life on Tuesday, November 5, 2013 at Our Hospice of South Central Indiana Inpatient Care Center in Columbus with friends and cousins at his side.
He was born December 4, 1946, in Decatur County, the only child of Henry B. and Marie J. (Preuss) Naderman. His parents preceded him in death. Joe dedicated his life to caring for his parents. He cared for his mother until she passed on October 11, 2012 at the age of 103.
Joe was a lifelong member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Millhousen. He served on multiple committees over the years, the current being the cemetery board. Joe was always honored to be asked to serve at funeral masses and he served at many.
Joe joined the National Guard with his best friend, Roy Schebler after graduating from Jac-Cen-Del High School in 1965. After his return to Millhousen, he joined his father in farming the small family farm. Joe never retired from farming. Never one to chase after modern ways of agriculture, Joe made a comfortable living for his mother and himself after his father died in 1983.
For many years, Joe and his parents routinely attended most area church picnics within a day's drive. They were known in the neighborhood for their love of euchre. After his mother's death, Joe enjoyed visiting with friends and family. He seldom turned down a meal or party invitation. He spent holidays with neighbors and would quietly sit and smile as the little ones opened gifts or chased throughout the yard hunting Easter eggs.
Joe's innocent smile will be missed by his many friends and cousins.
Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, November 8, at the Porter-Oliger-Pearson Funeral Home in Greensburg and from 9 to 10 a.m. on Saturday, at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Millhousen. A public rosary for family and friends will be prayed at 3:30 p.m. on Friday at the funeral home.
Funeral Services will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, November 9, at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Millhousen, with Rev. Bill Turner officiating. Interment will be held in the Immaculate Conception Catholic Cemetery in Millhousen.
Memorials may be made to the Gibault School for Boys or to the Our Hospice of South Central Indiana through the funeral home. Online condolences can be made to the family at www.popfuneralhome.com.

Jolie to attend Maleficent premiere
7:49am Thursday 8th May 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
Hollywood A-lister Angelina Jolie is expected to be among the stars on the red carpet today for the premiere of Disney film Maleficent.
The Tomb Raider actor and Oscar winner takes on the title role in the family fantasy.
According to the IMDb website, the film tells the tale of a vindictive fairy who is driven to curse an infant princess before realising the child may be the only one who can restore peace.
The movie also features US child star Elle Fanning, and British actor Juno Temple - the daughter of director Julien Temple.
Jolie, Fanning and Sam Riley - who played the part of Ian Curtis in the critically acclaimed Joy Division biopic Control - are among Maleficent's stars expected to grace the red carpet at Kensington Palace in London today.
The film is due to be released later this month.

Evansville police are investigating a double shooting on Vann Avenue near Covert Avenue early Sunday morning.
Officers say they were called at 1:10 Sunday morning by someone who said a couple of guys had been shot in a parking lot near the Buy Low IGA parking lot and a gas station.
Authorities said witnesses saw people involved in the shooting run into a home in the 1500 block of Vann Avenue.
Officers detained nine people near that home and also found a handgun right outside of it.
19-year-old Dalarrius Tyquion Jackson, who police say is a known gang leader, is in the Vanderburgh County Jail facing charges of aggravated battery with a firearm, criminal recklessness, and pointing a loaded firearm. Police arrested Jackson on Monday.
Authorities told 14 News that the victims went to St. Mary's Medical Center with gunshot wounds. One was shot in the leg. The other shot in the heel. One of the victims is 19 years old. The other is 20 years old.
Investigators say the tried to get more information from the victims, but neither were cooperative. Police say neither victim wishes to press charges. Despite the lack of cooperation from the victims, police said on Sunday they were still going to pursue a case for criminal recklessness against anyone who fired shots during the incident.
Police say based on information gathered from at least one witness, police believe the shooting started after a dispute between members of the L.A. Zombies street gang and another group of individuals.
Police say Jackson is a known gang leader of the L.A. Zombies and goes by the name "Nu-Nu". They say additional charges of criminal gang activity may be filed as the investigation continues.

Our home's original vestibule configuration was altered at some point in it's 125 year history. What was once setup as an entryway with double doors on the front of the house, was altered in an odd manner to place the front door at the very front of the house, negating any interest or depth that once existed. Our plain little home was made even more plain by this ill-advised alteration.
Since purchasing the house in 2003, Wendy and I wanted to restore the entry configuration and bring it back to its original setup. Throughout 2011 we worked on various items associated with the project. From plaster and tile to salvaged doors and antique hardware, we poured a ton of effort into this project. We hope you enjoy our collection of posts that chronicle the renovation of the smallest room in the the house. It may be small, but it turned out to be a pretty major project.

"Adoption of English books at Palo Alto High School - Web Link"
Dune?! Really? I must be so out of touch.
You can download "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" for free. Why is this so much more expensive than the other books?

The DEATH of Ivan Illyich? Are we sure?

The Death of Ivan Iyich:
Web Link
Yep .. it can be found on-line in various formats.
This is another example of how clues school administrators can be about the shift towards digital information, and/or how much they enjoy spending the taxpayers' money.
These books will disappear in a few years. E-books will stay around for ever. Even if there are downstream charges for new e-formats, the time, effort and space required to manage/store these e-texts far outweigh paper books.
This shift in awareness needs to be driven by Sacramento. Local schools see themselves in terms of "how much money can we spend", not "how little". That change needs to be driven at the State level.

I read the comments about this book, and there was a warning saying that it is a very depressive book. Our kids do not need more depression. They had enough with the suicides. I was going to speak up at the meeting abut the books, but I waited til almost 11:00 pm, and left because they were not addressing the issue yet. Hope they did not choose this one. I the board went for it, hope they have enough psychologist available to help them deal with their feelings.
