[size=10pt]Opponents trying to pull fast ones on Vikings' special teams[/size]
Happens once, call it chance. Twice? Hmmmm, interesting.
But what would you call it when opponents use a special teams trick play in three consecutive games?
So goes the dilemma facing the Vikings this week. Has it been a sign of glaring deficiency? Or is it a compliment to a group that can't be defeated by conventional means?
"It's neither," special teams coordinator Paul Ferraro said Thursday. "Any time you get one of those things, it could be combination. They might see a chink in your armor, or it's just something they want to do to see how you're going to respond to it. Each situation is different."
Give the Vikings a 2-1 record in dealing with the trickery. In one case, they took advantage of three mistakes. They appeared fooled in another and employed an important coaching point in the third.
The unusual streak began last month against Carolina, which attempted an ill-fated pass on a punt return. The next week, Chicago kick returner Rashied Davis faked a similar pass and capitalized with a 35-yard return.
Buffalo, meanwhile, tried to catch the Vikings by surprise with a pop-up kickoff in its 17-12 victory; a heads-up play from offensive lineman Jason Whittle prevented the Bills from gaining possession.
During practice last week, players watched film of Buffalo attempting a similar kickoff. Ferraro told Whittle, Mike Rosenthal and Jim Kleinsasser -- who comprise the middle of their return team -- to wave their arms in a fair-catch motion if they saw the ball coming.
"As long as you wave for a fair catch," Whittle said, "they have to give you an opportunity to catch it."
A stiff wind held up the ball, and Whittle was several yards away when Bills cover man Kiwaukee Thomas caught the live ball. But because Whittle had waved his arm, officials ruled that Thomas should have backed away.
Had the Bills spotted a weakness in the Vikings' return unit and targeted Whittle? Considering that most teams use linemen in that position, none of whom are known for their hands, it's more likely that Buffalo coaches believed the wind at Ralph Wilson Stadium would wreak havoc on any attempt to catch the ball.
"That's something you always have to be ready for," Whittle said. "It's not uncommon for people do that that. It keeps guys from cheating away from the line before the ball is kicked."
The other two plays are not nearly as common. The Panthers, in fact, designed the play with Ferraro in mind; he was their assistant special teams coach last season. Carolina coaches had noticed the Vikings moving out of their coverage lanes during preseason games and believed they could throw a cross-field pass against them.
But Chris Gamble's pass to Richard Marshall failed for three reasons. First, Marshall -- who was lined up across from Vikings "gunner" Ronyell Whitaker -- fell down while setting up the return and was late arriving at his spot.
Second, no one blocked Vikings cover man Will Hunter, who was lined up in the left slot position and watched the play develop in front of him.
Hunter was bearing down on Marshall when Gamble made the third mistake: declining his option to hold the ball. Hunter tackled Marshall and Jason Glenn recovered the fumble.
"You've got to stay in your lanes and get some width," said Heath Farwell, who plays on most of the Vikings special teams. "If you have too many guys bottled up, you're susceptible to a throwback or a reverse or something like that."
At most, Vikings players are coached to "squeeze" one lane over when the ball is kicked toward a sideline. But the Vikings didn't maintain that discipline the following week, when Davis' fake pass helped clear the way for him to return a first-quarter kickoff to the Vikings 43-yard line.
Ferraro said the Vikings had discussed the possibility of a fake pass but had not practiced it entering the Bears game.
"We have rules for that and ... we didn't react to it the way the rules state," Ferraro said. "Sometimes when you don't practice things and you talk about them, you need to go back and practice them. That was on me that we didn't respond the correct way. ... We've certainly worked on that since then, and I don't see that being an issue."

Personalities in the Classroom: Teaching the Eeyore's, Tigger's, Rabbit's, and Pooh's
A parent reminded me that I had not yet re-addressed the temperaments from the January 2011 Awareness, so let's begin with how to recognize them. Often, the archetypal characters in "Winnie the Pooh" are used as models. Pooh is phlegmatic with his calm demeanor and overall preoccupation with eating, comfort, and rest. Eeyor and Piglet represent the melancholic temperament with their "Everything is going wrong…again," and "The sky is falling!" attitudes. Tigger is of the sanguine temperament--optimistic, fun, happy-go-lucky, and chatty! Rabbit is the choleric with his passionate leadership qualities, his fiery personality, and his proclivity toward anger.

One teacher for eight years?! A Response to Concerns about Looping
A Nursery parent kindly commented the other day, "I really love the Waldorf philosophy and can see how it makes sense for my preschool child, but I'm worried about Waldorf elementary school because of the way the teachers loop through the grades...what if my child doesn't like his teacher and is stuck with him for 8 long years?" As a former Kindergarten through 8th grade looping teacher, myself, I have much to say on the subject!
AWS Alumni receive top honors!
Congratulations to Janine Mwenja and Alex Kilpatrick on their recent honors! Both Jeanine and Alex were voted into the National Honor Society, and the Spanish National Honor Society. As part of their 11th grade curriculum at the Jefferson Cty Int'l Baccaleureate School, students take advantage of work-study opportunities. Janine has been contributing her talents and skills to the architectural projects at Giattina-Aycock.
Dispelling the Myth Regarding Grades in Waldorf Schools... Yes, we give them!
...Grades students are taught in subject blocks that typically last about 4 weeks. During this time, students create lesson books on the subject being studied, whether Roman History, Acoustics, or Algebra. Because they don't carry around textbooks, they make their own; and it is an active, engaging process that engenders a sense of accomplishment at the end of each block. The block test is a good grading tool, then, because it assesses what the student retained from the entire four weeks. The block grade is comprised of an average of the lesson bookwork, the test, and classroom participation (including any required reports/projects)..."
History in 6th and 7th Grades
As part of their block on medieval history, middle school students in Ms. Powell's class had to "live" out the history they were studying by participating in "The Squire's Challenge." In addition to the lesson work, students had to "contribute to the well-being and progress" of their class, the whole school, and their neighborhood, church, or community organization...

The Timeless Quality of Waldorf Education
"When I speak to people about the wisdom of Waldorf education, I am struck by its timelessness. I often say that things are different here at the Waldorf school because we know what we are doing, the curriculum is set and was built around the development of the healthy child, and it's been practiced and honed to a fine art over 92 years."
"For three weeks in November, AWS will, for the fifth consecutive year, host a student of the American Eurythmy School in California. Student Karen Robertson is completing her practicum for Euruythmy Certification here, which means that AWS students will get to experience this unique Waldorf art form!"
May 2012
Anthroposophy: It's not just a Tongue Twister -- Anthro…what? Anth-ro-POS-ophy. I like to think of it as a combination of anthropology and philosophy—the study of mankind. And why do you care? Because it's the philosophical basis for Waldorf education. In a nutshell, it's what makes us different. And that means it's at least partially why you chose AWS for your child's schooling and why your child's teacher chooses AWS as a place to work...
Jaimen McMillan Visits AWS! ...His (Jaimen's) lecture focused around the idea that we don't need to ban digital media, as much as we need to be educated about it, especially before exposing a child to it. So, how can you prepare a child for exposure to virtual reality? How can you strengthen them so that they are not taken in by what they are watching?...

Before the winds calmed, the words "how can I help?" were traveling across the state after Hurricane Katrina.
"It empowered people where they realized they weren't helpless watching the news. That there were things they could do," said Deirdra Harris Glover with the Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service.
Organizations say that spirit of volunteerism was strengthened through the storm, but it also taught them valuable lessons.
"People volunteering ahead of time is really important. Whenever we have a big disaster we have what we call spontaneous volunteers and they just come from everywhere," said Bill Feist with the Salvation Army's Emergency Disaster Services.
That's where VOAD, Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster, steps in. It exists on both a national and state level.
"It was a result of Katrina that the word got out among the responding agencies that there was a mechanism in place that was available to us to be able to share information. It keeps us from duplicating and makes us a lot more effective in the work that we do," explained Sherry Lanier.
Lanier serves a Disaster Response and Short Term Missions Facilitator for the Presbyterian Church in America's Mission to North America.
They say it can often create a second disaster if volunteers go in unprepared, but they've seen first hand how they can serve in ways the government can't.
"Somebody has to go into the brokenness of what was a person's home and life and pick things up. And that has to be done in a very careful, respectful, loving way," said Wayne Napier who works with the Mississippi United Methodist Disaster Response team.
State emergency management now works closely with the volunteer organizations so they can assist in the safest and most effect ways.

Controversial street party in Newcombe Road, Southampton, vows to go ahead
4:00am Friday 1st June 2012 in News By Jon Reeve , Education Reporter
IT was a party that left a street riddled with rubbish, residents complaining about loud music and organisers facing a £2,000 clean-up bill.
Despite the three-hour council operation to rid Newcombe Road in Southampton of broken glass and numerous noise complaints from fed-up neighbours, organisers are planning a re-run this weekend to mark the Queen's diamond jubilee.
Police have warned anyone planning to attend the event, or any other unlicensed street party in the county, that they could be committing a criminal offence.
More than 4,000 people have so far been signed up to attend a party in the Polygon on Sunday.
Organisers, who have been arranging sound systems and DJs for the party, admit they have failed to arrange an official street closure, but insist the event will go ahead and is "100 per cent legal".
But Southampton City Council and Hampshire Constabulary say they will take a "very dim view" if the road is closed without permission – and are urging people not to turn up.
Last year, long-term residents in the student-dominated area said they felt intimidated and had to take their cars to safe places, as more than 2,000 revellers took over the street.
One resident, who did not want to be named, said he was dismayed that another party was planned for this weekend.
He said: "It was horrendous. I was trapped in my own home.
"I even locked my cats in."
Lorraine Barter, who is a member of local campaign group Residents Action and lives nearby, said: "I went there last year and it was like rush hour on the London Underground – you couldn't move.
"I went round and asked the disc jockeys to turn it down and they couldn't even lip read what I was saying because it was so loud.
"I phoned the police about 5.15pm and they wouldn't come out. They told me afterwards if they had tried to go in and close it down there would have been a riot."
The people behind Sunday's festivities, who have not responded to the Daily Echo's requests for a comment, have been urging partygoers to bring bin bags with them to avoid a repeat of the mountains of rubbish from last year.
In an online advert for the party, organiser Danny Baker said: "This is for all the family - bring your Nan, bring your kids.
"We were too late for road closure as the council needed three weeks minimum. They informed us to do a street meet.
"As long as all equipment is off the road, which will be the case anyway, we are fine to party.
"The police will not be shutting it down."
But the police and council insist they will act on any attempt to obstruct the highway or close the road.
A spokesperson said: "We're strongly discouraging people from attending this attempt to hold an unlicensed street party.
"There has been no application to close the road and any attempt to do so without permission would lead to police officers taking a very dim view.
"The council and police are already keeping a close eye on the situation and won't hesitate to take action where necessary. Officers will be patrolling the area on the day.
"Police had not been made aware in advance of last year's event and so by the time we were notified, it had grown to a considerable scale and the safest option was to allow the event to continue.
"A number of police attended the event to make sure things stayed safe and to keep an eye on it.
"We must remind people that holding or participating in unlicensed events may lead to them committing criminal offences, such as obstructing the highway."

Dolphins clinch A-Sun Tournament berth
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville secured its spot in the upcoming Atlantic Sun Tournament with a 70-68 win over city rival North Florida in the latest edition of the SunTrust RiverCity Rumble. The win gives the Dolphins (13-14; 8-6) a regular season sweep of the Ospreys for the sixth time in the past seven years.
JU was led by 19 points and nine rebounds from freshman Jarvis Haywood (Charlotte, N.C.) and 16 points and six boards from junior guard Keith McDougald (Jacksonville, Fla.). It was freshman Kordario Fleming (Memphis, Tenn.) however who gave the Dolphins the lead for good in a tightly contested game that was highlighted by 10 ties and eight lead changes.
Fleming opened the second half with seven straight points to erase a two point advantage for UNF. The rookie forward then scored the final two of his 10 points to give JU a 69-68 lead with a drive along the left baseline with just over a minute remaining. The Dolphins defense would take care of the rest.
JU forced a UNF miss after Fleming's basket and senior Glenn Powell (Deerfield Beach, Fla.) secured the rebound to give the Dolphins possession with 46 seconds left. After a lay-up attempt was blocked out of bound with six seconds to go on the shot clock, McDougald was fouled on the in bounds pass. The junior guard hit the second of two free throws for a two-point JU lead with 10 ticks still to play.
As they did on the previous possession, the Dolphins defense once again rose to the occasion forcing a missed three by UNF's Parker Smith (22 points) as the final buzzer sounded.
The victory ended a three game slide for JU and improvers the team to 8-1 inside Veterans Memorial Arena this season.
JU plays its final two home game of the year next week at Veterans Memorial Arena. The Dolphins host USC Upstate on Thursday at 7:00 pm and East Tennessee State on Saturday at 3:15 pm. Catch all the action on 92.5 FM, your flagship station for JU athletics
• Haywood's 19 points are the most by a JU freshmen since Ben Smith had 28 at Mercer on Feb. 16, 2007
• Haywood is averaging 13.3 points and 6.6 rebounds in the last five games
• Jacksonville held a 40-32 edge in rebounding
• McDougald was 3-4 from three and is now shooting 49.1 percent from three during A-Sun play
• Cliff Warren improves to 14-4 all-time against UNF

We'll be back!
By Bill Adair
Published on Thursday, November 6th, 2008 at 11:31 a.m.
SUMMARY: The Truth-O-Meter is out of commission for routine maintenance, but we'll bring it back in January to fact-check the White House and other players in Washington.
The 2008 campaign was grueling for everyone involved, but especially for our Truth-O-Meter.
It made more than 750 rulings over the past 15 months, including 49 Pants on Fires. They really take a toll on the meter because, as you can see from our home page, it spontaneously bursts into flames. (And the building manager really hates it when we set off the fire alarm.)
So during November and December we'll give the Truth-O-Meter a rest and perform some routine maintenance (oil and lube, flush the transmission, a new flux capacitor).
But PolitiFact will be back in late January. We'll put the Meter to work checking President Obama, members of his administration, the Congress, lobbyists, special interest groups and anyone else who speaks up in Washington.
We'll be unveiling some new features and a new design on PolitiFact, but the heart of the site will still be the Truth-O-Meter. So check back in late January and we'll help you sort out the truth about Washington.

Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
It's so easy with the new Fiskars® Duck® Edition scissors!
Since summer is a time for family reunions, and like most young children, mine don't quite understand family generations, I thought it would be helpful to have them help me craft a family tree to hang on the wall. Not only does a project like this get children excited about an upcoming event, it also helps them learn names of family members they might not see all that often.
So, if you are looking for a way to keep your children entertained while trying to beat the summer heat, this is the perfect project that can involve the entire family.
This project is suitable for children of most ages and skill levels---there is truly something for everyone to do, so you'll have it completed in a just an hour. Even the preschool ages can help with squeezing the punches and coloring the stamped images.
Family tree projects can be whatever you make them to be (i.e. grandparents only, immediate family members, siblings, grandchildren, etc.). In this case, I chose to make my project just for the cousins in our family. If you choose the traditional route, it is also a subtle way to introduce younger children to genealogy too! .
To create a family tree of your own:
1. First create your tree template by punching out a tree with the X-Large Tree Lever Punch, trace onto white paper, and then enlarge 400% on a copy machine. Label as your template for future use.
2. Cut out template with Micro-Tip™ Scissors (No. 5). Using temporary adhesive, place template onto brown cardstock and trace around the perimeter.
3. Cut tree from cardstock. If desired, add texture to the tree using the Honeycomb Texture Plate and Embossing Stylus.
4. Create a background large enough to fit your frame opening. If your frame is longer or wider than 12 inches you'll need to extend the length of your cardstock by layering papers along the bottom edge as shown.
5. Build several leaves with cardstock using the Leafin' Around Squeeze Punch.
6. Smaller leaves can be made by cutting apart petals from the X-Large Poppy Lever Punch with your Micro-Tip™ Scissors (No. 5).
7. Stamp, color and layer images that coordinate with the members in your family using the Happy and You Know It Clear Stamp Set.
8. Build your 'grass' area first using layers of patterned paper and cardstock. Green cardstock cut with the Leaves Border Punch or decorative edge scissors.
9. Adhere the tree and add large leaves in clusters around the branches, filling in with smaller leaves in the openings.
10. Adhere your 'family' faces with dimensional adhesive.
11. Print names of family members with font and font color you desire using a word processing program, trim out and attach using dimensional adhesive.

In a move that would make a whole lot of sense, Tyrann Mathieu is reportedly looking into transferring to McNeese State. Earlier on Friday, Mathieu was dismissed from the LSU football team, reportedly following a failed drug test. It's widely thought that Mathieu will transfer down a level, which would allow him to play right away.
The report comes from Bruce Feldman of CBS Sports.
Following up on the Josh Jasper tweet, Tyrann Mathieu is looking at transferring to McNeese State according to a source.— Bruce Feldman (@BFeldmanCBS) August 10, 2012
And the John Jasper tweet Feldman referenced was as follows:
— Josh Jasper (@JoshJasper30) August 10, 2012
@tm7_era already transferred to McNeese! Staying in the boot #LA
Yeah, that's the punter apparently breaking some news, because this saga wasn't enough.
If Mathieu does end up at McNeese State, not only would he be eligible to play right away, he'd also be staying in Louisiana, which wouldn't be too big of a move for him. One would expect this move to happen sooner rather than later, allowing Mathieu to quickly get on the field and do Honey Badger things.

While we're here, let's watch some of the many fine college football videos from SB Nation's YouTube channel:

---- — NEWBURYPORT – Certain stretches of Interstate 95 will be affected by lane closures over the next month as preliminary work on the $292 million Whittier Bridge reconstruction project begins.
The work will require day and night lane closures on the northbound and southbound sides of the highway, both on the bridge itself and along the road on each side of the river.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation said the lane closures would occur during non-peak travel times, and during the day, all closures would be limited to a single lane.
The closures come as workers gear up for the start of major construction later this summer, which is expected to last until the bridge's completion in 2016.
"Within the first two weeks of August is when people should expect to see heavy construction," MassDOT spokesman Mike Verseckes said yesterday.
At that point, Verseckes said the majority of the construction would be done in the water, with the remaining work being concentrated on the north side of the project area on the Amesbury side of the river.
"We don't expect any major traffic impacts at this time," Verseckes said. "The majority of the work will be in the water so that won't have any road impact."
The John Greenleaf Whittier Bridge carries I-95 over the Merrimack River and has served as a key link in the state's highway transportation network for nearly 60 years. The bridge was built in 1951, but is now structurally deficient and is nearing the end of its economic life.
Over the next three years, state contractors will build a new bridge adjacent to the original one, and then tear the old bridge down and build another new bridge in its place.
When completed, each bridge will carry four lanes of traffic plus breakdown lanes, with one carrying the northbound lanes and the other carrying the southbound lanes. The bridge will also include a pedestrian traffic lane, which will allow runners, bikers and joggers to cross the river,.
while linking together the various bike trails in Amesbury, Newburyport and Salisbury.
The way the project was designed, all highway traffic will be able to flow normally during the construction of the first bridge, and then will be diverted to the first new bridge once the original is torn down. This will allow for minimal traffic disruptions and avoid painful detours through the back roads of Newburyport and Amesbury.
"We're mindful of the impacts that any serious lane restrictions would have," Verseckes said. "We want to do our best to keep traffic on the Whittier Bridge or I-95 so it's not spilling out onto local roads."
The overall scope of the project encompasses the entire stretch of I-95 from exit 57 to exit 60 and will include the rehabilitation of other bridges, the widening of the highway and the improvement of deceleration lanes along that stretch.
This week, contractors will be installing erosion controls throughout the project area, laying out and cutting pavement for the traffic barrier line on the highway at the northern end of the project area, preparing a staging area on Spring Lane and mobilizing equipment for the construction of the bridge's northern pier on the Amesbury side of the river.
Next week, workers will begin removing trees and shrubs in the right-of-way, continue saw cutting for the traffic barrier and then begin installing the northern pier's cofferdams. Finally, the week of July 22, workers will start installing temporary traffic barriers on the highway at the northern end of the project area.
Once major construction begins later this summer, Verseckes said the project should be able to proceed with minimal traffic disruptions, but added that there will undoubtedly be future lane closures throughout the project's duration when the situation demands it.

This weekend, big named music acts will take the stage at the Roanoke Civic Center, but beyond rocking out for the crowd they're working together to make a difference.
Styx, REO Speedwagon and Ted Nugent will sign a guitar and auction it off with 75% of the proceeds going to bombing victims and the other 25% will be given to local charity, Girls Rock Roanoke.
LeeRay Costa came up with the summer camp idea for 8 to 12-year-old girls after her daughter attended Girls Rock North Carolina last summer.
Leeray hopes the money raised through this weekend's guitar auction will pay for at least 10 scholarships to summer camp.
"This will make a huge difference, because we are starting with zero and we will rely on the tuition for some girls. We want to make sure that all girls attend regardless of their family's ability to pay, so any money that we can raise will help us to reach more girls in the Roanoke community," said LeeRay Costa.
At girls rock Roanoke the young ladies will learn to play an instrument, form a band, write an original song and perform in public.
