Teaching Global Citizenship
Jenny Buccos, chosen from a from a pool of more than 1,500 candidates nominated through the White House web site, was selected as a Champion of Change for the positive impact she is making in her community.
It is an honor to be recognized as a White House Champion of Change for my work with ProjectExplorer.org promoting cross-cultural understanding. Over the last decade, I have been an advocate for global citizenship. I believe that global awareness is a critical 21st century skill, yet this topic is nearly absent from the national dialogue on education.
My global education began in 2000, while travelling in Asia on assignment for an investment bank. I began to notice that most people have a wide variety of preconceived notions about other countries and cultures, particularly here in America where our culture, news, and discussions can be so inwardly focused. Experiencing a new country and culture first-hand and having my own beliefs challenged was a real awakening for me, and I wanted share that experience with as many people as possible. This experience and the months after 9/11 became the catalysts for founding ProjectExplorer.org. Beginning in the winter of 2001, I spent several months observing the people around me become increasingly afraid of the world outside of America. As I listened to these conversations, I began to think about how developing a global awareness from a young age could change students' interest in education by making what they learn in school more relevant, and could someday improve international relations by raising a generation of truly global citizens.
I began ProjectExplorer.org in 2003 to provide "virtual passports," especially to those for whom travel is simply not possible. Many of ProjectExplorer.org's free lessons ask students to compare and contrast past historical events with current global issues, and encourage classroom dialogues that explore ways to resolve conflict, environmental and racial issues. A crucial part of learning is adapting a fact to your own viewpoint, which requires questioning leading to understanding. These skills aren't learned by rote; they're absorbed by adapting new information to one's existing worldview.
I hope that this honor, and the attention it brings to ProjectExplorer.org, encourages more teachers to incorporate global themes in their everyday lessons. In a recent nationwide survey ProjectExplorer.org commissioned, we found an increasing importance within diverse industries for employees to have an understanding of global issues, yet just 30% of educators surveyed regularly incorporate global themes in their lessons. Teaching Global Citizenship is becoming more and more critical, and doesn't need to come at the expense of other subjects; instead it can be integrated across all subjects to help students learn and retain through story-telling and cross-curricular links.
I sincerely thank the Obama Administration for this recognition and the entire ProjectExplorer.org team for their years of dedication and support. I will live up to this honor by continuing my work to help create a more globally-aware citizenry.
Jenny Buccos is the Director, Producer, and Series Creator of ProjectExplorer.org

Oil, pensions don't mix
EDITOR: I feel blessed to live in a county that is working tirelessly to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Nothing is more urgent. However, there is a huge disconnect. While Sonoma County works diligently to decrease its carbon footprint, its retirement fund, the Sonoma County Employees Retirement Association, invests in the very companies that are choking the atmosphere.
Make no mistake, the fossil-fuel industries have no intention of reducing their emissions. They have enough fuel in their reserves to exceed more than five times the safety limit of an increase in global temperature of 2 degrees Celsius. Yet companies worldwide spent $650 billion in 2012 in the search for more. Exxon alone spends $100,000 every day. If we allow the big oil companies to do business as usual, no amount of local planning will save us from catastrophic climate change.
Sonoma County's retirement association needs to divest its assets from fossil-fuel companies. Doing so would not only be the right thing to do, it also would be prudent economically. Financial analysts worldwide concur with a statement from Forbes: "Although they have been lucrative, fossil fuels are becoming increasingly risky investments."
Investing in fossil fuels is suicide.

'Do you think that's right?': Mayor of Barnet Hugh Rayner receives more than £28,000 in housing benefits
Updated 5:10pm Wednesday 2nd July 2014 in News By Natalie O'Neill
Under-fire Barnet Mayor Hugh Rayner has received more than £28,000 in housing benefits from tenants, it was claimed today.
Evidence showing exactly how much money Councillor Rayner made through claiming housing benefits on behalf of his tenants was brought to the attention of the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, during today's London Assembly Question Time.
The Hale ward councillor owns 15 properties in the Colindale area with his wife, Susan, and four more through his company, S&H Housing Limited.
Freedom of Information requests have revealed S&H Limited has received a total of £25,694 from Barnet Borough Council in housing benefit, as well as £2,769 from Barnet Homes, and another £3,000 incentive payment for taking on social tenants.
He has never declared an interest relating to his role as a landlord, despite chairing meetings discussing major changes to private landlords' payments and financial incentives for those taking on social tenants.
Addressing the Mayor of London today, Barnet GLA member Andrew Dismore said: "What makes it worse, of course, isn't just that he's been making all this money out of housing benefit - the fact that when he chaired the committee that approved this agreement for rent deposits and landlord incentives on 22 May 2013, he didn't make a declaration of interest.
"Nor did he make any declaration of interest when they switched the housing policy from the social sector to the private sector on 12 July 2010, nor in December 2012, nor did he declare a non-pecuniary interest in Jan 2014.
"He still says it's a non-pecuniary interest, even though he's making all this money out of housing benefit from the council and Barnet Homes. Do you think that's right?"
But the Mayor of London Boris Johnson said Barnet Council's monitoring officer is investigating the matter and it would be "inappropriate" for him to comment until this has been concluded.
This is not the first time Cllr Rayner has come under scrutiny - last month, Boris Johnson admitted Councillor Hugh Rayner's behaviour had been "prima facie illegal" following evidence about the "unfair" way he treats his tenants, who all receive housing benefit.
Mr Dismore had told Boris Johnson that Cllr Rayner was not part of the London Landlord Accreditation Scheme, and that he drafted 12-month contracts which permitted rent increases by any amount and at any time during the year. He also paid an unannounced visit to a tenant at 10pm asking for the new lease to be signed - even though his contract said adequate notice must be given.
Cllr Hugh Rayner has declined to comment.

is this the same Dismore who (when Hendon MP) claimed enough travel allowances in a year to drive between his constituency and Parliament three times every day that the Commons sat?
and the same Dismore who claimed £34,000 in second home expenses for a west London flat, which houses his girlfriend's homoeopathy surgery, while designating a property just a few miles away in his north London constituency as his main home? The same Dismore who then "flipped" his second home designation to the north London property and claimed a further £31,000 after telling Commons officials that the west London flat had become his main residence. In total, the then MP for Hendon split £65,000 in second home allowances between the two London properties over an eight-year period. He also used more than £1,000 in office expenses to pay his girlfriend to do casual work for him.

What is more interesting is whether Labour (whose activists make the FOI requests that generate these "stories") really think that this type of smear campaign will help them to take Rayner's Hale seat and, therefore, the council from the tories.
Seems unlikely to me, but you can't blame them for trying!

Mr E Dance says...
I wasn't aware of these facts about Mr Dismore (indefensible if true), but isn't this story concerned with the conduct of Mayor Raynor, the appearance of him having his snout in the trough, & acting like a slum landlord (turning up at night on the doorsteps of vulnerable tenants with pre-witnessed (sic) documents), & growing fat off Barnet taxpayers?
Would you care to comment on HIS behaviour?

Cadwallader says...
Dismore's been investigated and seems to have come through the whole thing reasonably well (considering what happened to other MPs at the time).
What we need to know from Rayner is his thinking behind the failure to declare his interests as a landlord and as the owner of a property management provider while sitting and voting on committees with a responsibility for housing.
I'm sure there's a perfectly rational explanation. Absolutely unlikely to be anything along the lines of "I thought I'd make more money if I just kept my mouth shut ...

I am bored of Andrew Dismore's constant criticism of the Mayor - he should move on and stop this vendetta which embarrassingly is no doubt to help his own personal election campaign. I am sure there must be much more important things to discuss at the GLA so stop wasting Boris's time and taxpayers money. Mr Raynor has been elected - get over it and move on.

I also haven't forgotten that the police were called in when a Labour councillor was accused of failing to declare a pertinent matter before voting and am curious why Rayner has not been dealt with in the same way.
It seems ironic that someone who was demanding respect for the mayoralty last month is, not only attracting such question marks, but is also drawing the Mayor of London into an awkward position.

So how come most of the posted comments manage to ignore these issues and instead try to deflect attention onto Andrew Dismal's failings? This looks to me like a diversionary tactic by Rayner supporters who are clearly unable to offer any evidence to justify their hero's disgraceful contempt for his tenants and for Barnet's electorate.
I therefore challenge Rayner's cronies to provide comments that actually defend his activities rather than just attempt to redirect attention to the deficiencies of his opponents.

News: Iggy Azalea Says T.I.'s Sound Isn't Right, Dethrones "King Of The South" [Video]
Thursday, Jan 3, 2013 11:13PM
Grand Hustle affiliate Iggy Azalea has decided to put some more distance between herself and "King of the South" T.I., announcing a decision to keep him off executive producing her long-awaited solo debut The New Classic.
While she did not blame personal issues snubbing Tip, Iggy said the project shifted into a different direction with him behind it.
"Well he's actually not anymore," Iggy said when asked if Tip is executive producing the LP. "He was going to be, but originally when I was making The New Classic, all the records that I had on Glory were supposed to be for The New Classic, and he executive produced what ended up being Glory. But as I was making it, I felt like, 'This isn't The New Classic; this is something else. It's not the right sound.' Not that it sounded bad, but it wasn't what The New Classic is in my head and he executive produced that and it went good, it was an experience, but after, he said and I said it's better if I just make my own music away because sometimes being around him, it influences the music I make to be a bit too much of a different sound...[it's] not because I don't love, because I love him." (16 Bars TV)
Last month, Iggy explained why she does not take heed to Tip's direction as much as she once did.
"I don't listen to T.I. ... sorry Tip. I love him to death. It's kind of like a friendship. I rarely ask for his opinion, but if I do and he gives it to me, I consider it but I don't always go with it," Iggy said in an interview. "Most of the time I pass it in the wind. Sometimes he says 'I told you so' and sometimes he says 'I was wrong' and bows down. I kind of do my own thing. I love Grand Hustle and everybody, but you don't really see me with them a lot. And that's not because I don't love them to death it's just that I've always been a bit of the lone ranger." (Hip Hop Hollywood)
In May, Azalea confirmed she did not have a secured record deal in place.
"I wasn't dropped by Interscope," Iggy told XXL moments after her performance in front of a sold-out crowd at SOBs in New York City on Thursday night (May 7). "I'm still managed by [Interscope], but when T.I. came on board and it became a Grand Hustle thing. We were working on restructuring and we worked down to the final deal. There's things that change when other people get involved. For me, I choose my involvement with Tip because that's my family over other things, so I'm thankful that I have him and he can kinda get me out of that situation; now it's just strictly Grand Hustle." (XXL Mag)
The "King of the South" initially broke the news of Iggy's Interscope deal falling through in mid-2012.
Iggy Azalea announced that she had signed a deal with Interscope Records earlier this year, but it may have been premature. According to her Grand Hustle boss T.I., the Aussie rapper is still unsigned. "Iggy is a free agent," Tip told Bu Thiam, VP of A&R at Def Jam, on "MTV's Hip Hop POV." The blonde bombshell had touted a deal with Interscope and a summer release for her debut album The New Classic. "Interscope, if you were wondering," she tweeted in January. "Get used to me + jimmy [iovine] smashing sh*t, cause thats the plan." According to sources, a deal was never actually in place. However, she did release the T.I.-assisted "Murda Bizness," which was billed as the lead single off the album. The Hustle Gang member is currently in talks with other labels including Def Jam. Her EP Glory is due this month. (Rap-Up)

"A chain saw is the most dangerous hand tool that can be purchased on the open market. It requires no license and no training to own or operate. Approximately 40,000 injuries and deaths were reported last year in the United States...and most could have been prevented."
Carl Smith in a statement from his basic chain saw course
Carl Smith is a fifth generation logger who received a forest technician degree from Green River. Carl started his career with The Weyerhaueser Company. Smith eventually went to work for the United States Forest Service where he trained employees of the National Park Service and Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Smith has a personal business that trains chain saw operators for timber companies and is also in the process of writing a book on this subject as well as making a video .
Contact Carl Smith at email@example.com
Q: Carl, welcome to Forestry at About.com. Your biography certainly indicates a lot of forestry experience and I couldn't have picked a better person on the subject of chain saws. You are an expert in handling chain saws and I want to ask you a few questions.
Carl Smith: Thanks for the invite and I will be glad to help you with this.
Q: As a forester, I have seen what a chain saw can do to a careless user. How dangerous is a chain saw?
Carl Smith: If you place your hands on a chain saw, you must keep in mind that it is like grabbing a hand grenade without a pin in it. It is very likely to go off in your face. From the moment that you take it out of storage to the time that it goes back to the same place, you can be hurt by either it, or by whatever you will be cutting.
The chain saw is the most dangerous hand tool that can be purchased on the open market. It requires no license and no training to own or operate it. An overall average of 40,000 injuries and deaths occur annually in the US. This figure is just the "reported" accidents given by hospitals willing or able to furnish the information. That figure does not include out-patient visits to the doctor.
Most chain saw accidents are preventable. The only answer to reducing these accidents is proper training and knowledge with a lot of time using a saw - which is experience. You can gain experience the hard way and have the scars to prove it or you can do a little preventative reading.
Q: That's what we are trying to provide here.
Seems that chain saws are very dangerous if not used properly. That may carry over to the type saw you purchase. What type of saw would you choose if you were safety aware and wanted to make your first purchase?
Carl Smith: The chain saw that you purchase should be of the correct size for the jobs that you intend to do. To use a chain saw with a 36" bar for cutting 10" diameter trees is not appropriate. Conversely, a 10" bar is not appropriate for cutting 36" diameter trees. Many options must be considered before the purchase of a chain saw: horsepower, chain speed, bar length, weight, type of handle bar, type of bar, type of chain, etc...
Unfortunately, all chain saws are made for right-handed people. By using a "full wrap" handle bar, this will help out the left-handed operators to some extent. Your local chain saw dealer should have the ability to let you know what is right for your needs. Explain to them what you will be using the chain saw for. Chain saws can be purchased at your local hardware stores, large discount stores, or a chain saw dealer.
The best place to purchase this piece of equipment is a chain saw dealer, due to warranty work. Hardware stores and discount chains will not uphold a warranty while the chain saw dealers will if purchased from them. If you decide to use the classifieds, friends, or swap meets to purchase a chain saw, get the same information from your dealer beforehand. Also, purchase a book on proper chain saw use and techniques for cutting trees. This will help save your life or someone who will be with you.

Thai chicken coconut soup for the first chill of autumn
Wait "Autumn", Summer is not over yet ! Today morning when I woke up to a bright sunny day, I felt a nip in the air when I opened the windows. It was so unmistakably autumn. The sounds of autumn were so pronounced, the hurrying rustle of crisp leaves blown away by a gusty wind. The sky was painted in brilliant shades of blue but there was a slight chill in the wind.

The dark green leaves are usually discarded. Leeks can be used to make vegetable broth […]

Spring practice has started! With it, hope springs anew... or something like that. Seriously, though, spring is a time for heavy kool-aid consumption - everyone is undefeated and the players are all All-Conference candidates.
The Huskers have many, many questions heading into 2011 spring - such as - who will replace Ricky Henry and Keith Williams on the offensive line, what will Tim Beck's offense look like, what's up with this new guy Jamal Turner, and why does Sean Callahan always seem to be in view whenever someone is interviewing Bo Pelini at practice?
Sticking with that theme - today's question is pretty straightforward:
What is your biggest concern/question that you hope is resolved during spring football?
This week's Fun Friday theme poll is as follows (suggestions taken from last week's Monday Question post, so if you've got ideas, please post them):
- Japanese Sci Fi Movies (because I'm stubborn)
- Mount Rushmore
- Mad Max - The Movie Not Your Neighbor
- Beer Mascots

Togs, Talent and Turkey Dinner: Fall arrives at the Creative City Centre
Jenny Berkel, Kayla Luky, Bravest Ghost and Danny Goertz, Saturday, March 24, 8 pm doors, $15 at the door
Okay….we've had some pretty good shows here since we opened. Really good shows in fact. But if we had to pick a few standouts, well, Jenny Berkel's show last November was one of them. It was blizzarding, but we didn't care, the music was so darn good. Another standout was the night that Kayla Luky played here with Danny Goertz and Descalso. So when we received an email from Jenny asking if she could book March 24, and about 10 minutes later, got another email from Kayla asking if she could book March 24…well, there was really only one thing we could do. We said yes to both of them, and are presenting these two talented women, plus the artists they are touring with, adding in a sprinkle of Danny, and making it one big night of outstanding music. YOU NEED TO SEE THIS SHOW! When have we used caps before? Never. So take that as a sign…get your tickets in advance for $12, or pay $15 at the door. The show is on Saturday, March 24. It'll be spring by then, the crocus will be blooming, we'll feel great, and the music will be awesome and endless. Put it in your calendar right now. [Read more...]
Samantha Savage Smith, with Robyn Barbour, Saturday, March 17, doors at 8 pm, $10
Sometimes one of those new talents come across your desk, and you know that there's something special going on here. This is the case with Samantha Savage Smith. When her agent approached us about doing a show here, we listened to her tunes (the way we listen to everyone before we book 'em), and immediately emailed back with a YES. So on Saturday, March 17th, come check out Samantha Savage Smith. The opening act is Robyn Barbour, who comes highly recommended by Nick Faye. And if Nick Faye says she's good, she's probably really good. Come check out these two talented women, Saturday, March 17th. Tickets are $10 at the door, doors open at 8 pm and the music will start at 8:30 pm. It's practically spring…no more excuses to stay at home! [Read more...]
Jenny Berkel, with Nick Faye, Thursday, November 17, 8 pm doors
On Thursday, November 17th, we present Winnipeg's Jenny Berkel in concert, with special guest, Regina's own Nick Faye. This is going to be a pretty special pairing of artists, and we hope you will brave the snowy weather to join us! Tickets are $10 at the door.
Canadian Women in Music: Gabrielle Papillon and Kim Wempe, Saturday, October 8, 8 pm doors
Now that fall is upon us, we are getting serious about promoting a monthly concert series featuring "Canadian Women in Music". We started that series in May when we opened with a concert featuring Toronto's Lis Soderberg, but the efforts of getting this building up and running forced us to put our marketing plans on hold. So, even though we have presented a wide variety of "Canadian women in music" in the past few months (Redbird, Ann Vriend, Olenka, Jen Lane, Belle Plaine, Carrie Catherine, etc.), this concert is finally going to be presented under our banner: Canadian Women In Music!

Architect Frank Gehry, who designed the curved, stainless steel Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, has something more conventional in mind for the nearby downtown redevelopment project.
A Los Angeles resident, Gehry was hired in July by the developer of the downtown Grand Avenue Project, Related Cos., for the $1.8-billion (U.S.) project after Disney Hall won positive reviews from architecture critics who compared it to a silver galleon.
Gehry, who also created the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, will design most of the buildings in the $500-million first phase of the project, which aims to transform downtown L.A. into a residential and retail hub. Redevelopment officials are trading on the celebrity of Gehry's name to press for project approvals. "The initial dream was to have it be our Champs Elysée," Dan Ross, chairman of the University of Southern California's Lusk Center for Real Estate, said in an interview. "Gehry could fulfill that."

Super-duper computer for nuke weapons work
The National Nuclear Security Administration today announced a contract with IBM to build a 20-petaflops supercompuer for use in the U.S. nuclear weapons program. It will be housed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
According to the press statement, the contract with IBM calls for delivery of two systems: initially a 500-teraflops machine called Dawn, followed up by the 20-petaflops machine known as Sequoia. They'll both be based on IBM's BlueGene technology, the NNSA said.
In a statement, NNSA Administrator Tom D'Agostino said, "These powerful machines will provide NNSA with the capabilities needed to resolve time-urgent and complex scientific problems, ensuring the viability of the nation's nuclear deterrent into the future. This endeavor will also help maintain U.S. leadership in high-performance computing and promote scientific discovery."
Sequoia is scheduled for delivery in 2011, with deployment in 2012.
"With a speed of 20 petaflop Sequoia is expected to be the most powerful supercomputer in the world and will be approximately 10 times faster than today's most powerful system (Roadrunner at Los Alamos)," the NNSA announcement said.

A KOTA Territory hospital is making it easier on heart patients in Wyoming.
The new cardiac catheterization lab at Sheridan Memorial Hospital will offer more services to patients suffering from heart disease. Doctors will use the lab to detect blockages in arteries, measure blood oxygen levels and perform other procedures.
Hospital officials say the addition means patients won't have to travel for hours to receive the treatment they need.
"It enables both the patient to have quick response to any issues that they may have related to cardiology. It also gives the families a peace of mind not having to travel all the way either to Billings or to Casper," said cath lab coordinator, Jennifer Rasp-Vaughn.
Construction is wrapping up and the cath lab will open on January 21.
Construction costs for the lab total near $3.8 million.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - An Afghan governor says militants have detonated a car bomb around 60 meters (66 yards) away from the U.S. consulate in the western city of Herat, wounding seven civilians.
A gunbattle between militants and security forces in the area was still going on Friday morning. Sayed Fazlullah Wahidi, the governor of Herat province, says it's unclear if any of the militants managed to get inside the compound.
No group claimed responsibility for the attack, but Taliban insurgents have often used combined car bomb and gun assaults against various targets in Afghanistan.
A U.S. Embassy spokesman in Kabul declined immediate comment.

Recently the College Board again stuck its foot in its proverbial mouth and for me has reopened the never-ending debate about its role in higher education (I'll be blogging more on this soon). But the latest flub from CB makes us wonder if they need to just put Olivia Pope on retainer to rescue them from a seemingly infinite string of blunders. The latest, which has yet to be named but I'll call "Summergate," again starkly raises questions from "What role does the College Board play?" and "Is the College Board a self-appointed gatekeeper to higher education?" to "Is the College Board driving elitism and bias in education?" and "Is the College Board biased against low income, urban, and minority students?"
ACT Science Test: No science required
Many test-takers have told us that they chose the SAT over the ACT because they were uncertain/cautious/leery/petrified of the science part of the test. But never fear, here I come to save the day! (cue Mighty Mouse theme)
The truth of the matter is that the Science Test is a misnomer – instead it should be called the ACT Science-y Test, the ACT Science-Lite Test, or maybe the ACT Loosely-Related-to-Scientific-Thinking Test.
SAT and ACT New Security Procedures
Since the SAT cheating ring debacle in 2011, the makers of the SAT and ACT college entrance exams have been wracking their brains about how to tighten security. They are so serious and committed to dealing with this issue that they have even hired a former Director of the FBI to help them develop these new security measures. We've been watching events unfold and here is the summary of the changes coming to the September 2012 ACT and October 2012 SAT.
ACT vs SAT: Fee Waiver Throwdown
There are many great debates in the country today: Democrat vs Republic, Charter schools vs Public schools, Robert Frost vs E.E. Cummings, Lebron vs Kobe, McDonald's vs Burger King … the list goes on and on. We'd like to weigh in on one of the most important debates of our time: The SAT or the ACT?
College-bound students today are having this debate in numbers that their predecessors, ancestors, and older siblings never did. In part due to the ubiquity (SAT word!) of acceptance of either test, and in part due to the growing awareness of testing options, students are now more frequently asking themselves "which one should I take?" The answers are as varied as are the answers to all of the debates mentioned above, and as passionately defended. We're going to try to be the voice of reason and help you make the decision by providing as much information and perspective as we can. There are a lot of factors that go into making this decision, from what a particular school is looking for to what subjects the student excels in, but here's something else to consider: fee waivers. Or more specifically, what fee waivers do and do not include. Today's post will help you understand this often overlooked difference and how it might help make the difference for you.
Word Challenge VI: Two Words, One Speech – Our President's!
The sixth and final entry in the Word Challenge: Two Words, One Speech series, ends with our current commander in chief. Written by Bell Curves co-founder Akil Bello, this entry was posted on 4RIISE.com
In the final installment of our speeches series, I offer to you a man triply fitting for mention on this President's Day. A man known as one of the greatest orators of our time. A man of historic stature and prodigious ability. This week's speech comes to us from the first African-American President of the United States of America: Barack Obama.
Word Challenge V: Two Words, One Speech – Frederick Douglass!
Part V of our six part series examines the words of Frederick Douglass. Written by Akil Bello, co-founder of Bell Curves, this entry was originally posted by Riise on 2/13/12.
In keeping with the theme of Independence Day, this week's speech was delivered by Fredrick Douglass on that date in 1852. This speech is not only a great oration it also provides an interesting insight into the time and place of its delivery. Douglass had been invited to speak as part of an Independence Day celebration by the leading citizens of Rochester, NY. The line highlighted below shows not only the depth of his language mastery but also his opinion of the state of American "independence" and the arrogance of inviting him to participate in the Independence Day events, given that he was an escaped slave who had been freed, and was still fighting for freedom for all other slaves.
Fellow citizens, above your national, tumultuous joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions, whose chains, heavy and grievous yesterday, are today rendered more intolerable by the jubilant shouts that reach them. If I do forget, if I do not remember those bleeding children of sorrow this day, "may my right hand forget her cunning, and may my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth!"
Word Challenge IV: Two Words, One Speech – You'll Never Guess!
This entry was posted on 4RIISE.com on 2/6/12. Part IV of our ongoing Word Challenge series proves that great speeches can inspire and entertain.
Great speeches use deliberate language and strong vocabulary to sway the audience to a point of view, address injustice, or simply to inspire. We've looked a at few figures in US history who have done all those things and more. Not all great speeches happen in Congress or on Inauguration Day, however, or are even given by real-life people. Some speeches take place on Independence Day, or more specifically in "Independence Day" the movie.
Vocab from context vs Vocab in Context
We probably all remember being told "if you see a word you don't know try to understand the meaning from context." While this was pretty good strategy for early readers (let's say through 6th grade), the older you get the less it works. Trying to learn vocabulary from context as you get older is fraught with peril (is fraught a typo?). Let's explore the difference between vocabulary in context and vocabulary from context. We also explore some strategies on how to use this to help us with the SSAT, ISEE, SAT, and GRE.
Learning vocabulary from context
Children's books are often written with the intention of helping children acquire new words. To help children learn new words, these authors of children's books will often use a word and then immediately define it in the context of the text. That text might look like this:

Word Challenge: Two Words, One Speech – Sister Catt's
In Part III of our Word Challenge series, Bell Curves co-founder Akil Bello examines the powerful words of one of our foremothers who spent her life fighting for women's rights. Originally posted by Riise on 1/30/12.
From the founding of the US to the early 20th century, the majority of women in the United States were by law not allowed to vote. It took a motivated group of people over 70 years, from the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 to ratification of the 19th amendment to the US Constitution in 1920, to change this law. We remember these women today for their hard work and persistence (and sometimes for that odd-shaped Susan B Anthony dollar coin you get as change in a subway kiosk or vending machine) .
SAT Strategy: Don't Look at the Elephant
On the SAT, Sentence Completions are one of the easiest places to get back some of the points that the College Board has tricked you out of. To get those points back you just have to remember the one phrase:

Jones slams Gavin And Stacey rumour
10:21am Monday 10th December 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Ruth Jones has ruled out another series of Gavin And Stacey - and said a US version may not happen either.
The Welsh actress starred in and co-wrote the hit BBC comedy show, which ran for three series and last aired on New Year's Day 2010, and according to recent reports a Stateside version is imminent.
But Ruth said: "Right, I'm going to go on the record with this. There is not even a (US) pilot being made. A script's been commissioned, might not even go to pilot and it's the third time it's happened and I have no idea why all of a sudden it's all over the press.
"NBC had a script made of it, ABC had a script and it was going to pilot it and then dropped it and now Fox have commissioned a script and that's all."
She went on: "And I read in the press apparently I'm making five million pounds. Can I just go on record as saying I am not making five million pounds. So to all my family and friends who think they might be getting a really nice Christmas present this year sorry, nada, isn't going to happen...
"All I want to do is stamp out this idea that there's going to be American Gavin And Stacey. I mean it could happen but then I could win the lottery. It's literally like that at the moment."
Ruth - now who stars in Sky1 comedy drama Stella - also insisted there would be no revival of the UK version.
"There is going to be no more Gavin And Stacey," she said.

A 26-year-old woman was killed Wednesday night after being shot by deputies as she tried to drive away from the scene of a crime. Her suspected partner in the crime has been charged with her murder.
Joanna Ann Mojica, 26, was pronounced dead Wednesday night at Blake Hospital. Jesse Flores, 26, was arrested at the scene and charged with felony murder, two counts of attempted murder and burglary.
Deputies were called out at about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday night to a burglary in progress in the 900 block of 66th Avenue West.
As deputies were approaching the residence, Mojica and Flores tried to escape in a vehicle parked in the driveway. Deputies ordered them to stop but Mojica, who was driving, kept coming at the deputies.
One of the deputies fired at the vehicle and hit Mojica. None of the deputies was injured.
Deputy Aaron Bradley, who fired his weapon, is being placed on routine administrative leave while the incident is investigated.
The preliminary investigation shows the deputy acted in accordance with state statutes and the Sheriff's Office general orders in regards to use of deadly force. Bradley has been with the Sheriff's Office since 2005.
Detectives confirmed that a large screen TV belonging to the burglary victim was in the suspect's vehicle.

PITTSBURGH, Penn. - A newly formed center in Pittsburgh is being viewed as "ground-breaking" in regards to the shale boom. The Center for Sustainable Shale Development is a unique coming together of some of the nation's biggest oil and gas companies and environmentalists.
On it's website, the new center says that safe, sustainable shale resource development is achievable. It's an unprecedented collaboration of stakeholders in shale development. The chair of YSU's geological and environmental studies says the center has an impressive list of partners.
"Well you've got some major players with Chevron, Shell and Consol, and you've got major environmental groups on board with the Pennsylvania Environmental Council and you've got the support of the Heinz Foundation," says geology department chair, Jeffrey Dick.
The participants agree to submit to a set of 15 tough new standards for fracking to gain certification by the center.
"It looks like they pretty much cover all the bases from the site development to how you complete a well, and air emissions and water quality," Dick says.
A senior Vice President for Consol Energy, Katharine Fredriksen, says when the shale boom hit in this part of the country, it caught some communities and regulators off guard, and that's where this center will have the most benefit.
"It was a necessary and good step to get this group together to set some performance standards that would signal and give assurance to everyone's commitment to environmental protection and stewardship," says Fredriksen.
Dick believes this unique collaboration is the most logical approach to an industry that shows no signs of slowing down.
"Rather than just try to blockade it and stop it, work together to make sure it's done in an environmentally responsible way" Dick says.

It's almost here. I'm amped and ready, and I know others are too. I can feel the energy as I write. The team will need it. The downside to winning is the brutal schedule following success. Are the players prepared - ready to start a legacy? Was last year an adrenaline rush? Can the Niners do it again? Improve? A fellow Niners fan here in DC is worried. He thinks the tougher schedule will limit the wins. Harbaugh will have a sophomore slump. Injuries. They can't they go 13-3 again - Can they? STOP! I won't hear it. This team is loaded - the personnel better than last year. Alex will have more options and throw more. The Moss pickup is unbelievable. Manningham adds another quality wideout. Etc...
While watching the top 100 show when Pat WIllis was placed; they showed the 49er defense from the QB's perspective. I was frightened - that image was terrifying (and impressive). Qbs will hate to face it. The symmetry is one year tighter. Losing a trip to the big game on an error still hurts ...and motivates. It can be done. The players know it. The fans know it. "it's fun being a 49er fan again."
12-4 is my guesstimate. Strong competition improves a quality team. By the season's end, this team will be the last opponent a team in the NFL wants to face. This team reminds me of the 1971 Miami Dolphins. Talented, Hungry, and ready to play this game with anyone. Each game is a competition to prove who they are; what they are. Harbaugh has them prepared strategically. He wants a SB win as bad as the players; maybe more. That locker room must be intense and it will stay that way until the season's last snap. I'm Ready!!
I want football year round. I hate the off season. There is a way to change the schedule and extend the season.
The Year Round Schedule? It works like this - - Only one Conference plays each week. That doubles the season's length and keeps players healthier - two weeks between games = healthier teams. It also prompts fans to root for a second team = added sales. Inter-conference games occur three weeks mid season. SInce players are healthier, 2 games are added - a 18 game season = 33 weeks (including inter conference weeks -3). The play offs follow the same schedule - only one conference each week. The season is 43 weeks. SInce the season is longer, injured players may stay off IR. Players get 6 weeks off to recuperate. (The draft occurs late in the season and drafted players can play immediately - no more waiting! ) Fans are happier. What's not to like?

Details yet to be released but it is looking like the Palmer rumors may well have some validity. If the deal goes down it is currently being reported that Palmer will be released.
It will be very interesting to see what actually happens here with not only Palmer, but what the Raiders had to give up to get Flynn.
Time for some new mock draft boards.
It would be a shame to see Palmer simply cut loose. Given recent reports and sign and trade has seemed at least doable and to see the Raiders simply cut Palmer loose given what he cost the team to acquire would be a real shame.

The Fender Deluxe Power Stratocaster is a guitar built to give the player control over the tone. 2 Tex-Mes Strat Single-Coil pickups are at the neck and bridge, and a Tex-Mex Strat Humbucking pickup is also at the bridge. This combination of pickups can be toggled on and off with a 5 position blade switch, and can also be tweaked with both a no-load tone control knob and a Fishman power bridge tone control, giving the guitar a wide range of sound.
This guitar has a body made of alder and a maple neck in a modern C shape. 21 medium jumbo frets sit on a rosewood fretboard, and chrome hardware completes the look. The bridge is a 6-saddle Fishman power bridge with Tremolo. A deluxe gig bag is included.

A Soviet killing maniac known as 'The Winter Soldier' and the uncertainly of who is friend or foe are the main challenges for Captain America in the new Marvel film, Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Cap (Chris Evans) is joined this time around with Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and reunited with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) on missions with S.H.I.E.L.D. Cap immediately clashes with Widow due to their different attitudes and her having a secret agenda led by Fury. Cap begins to question his purpose in this new world when he cannot trust Fury to tell him what's really going on.
Cue in The Winter Soldier and absolute chaos breaks out.
In the confusion and anarchy caused, Cap ends up getting attacked by his own teammates in S.H.I.E.L.D. Cap is hunted down like a wanted criminal. In order to survive and try to figure out who has compromised the powerful agency, Cap puts his differences aside with Widow and enlists Falcon (Sam Wilson) to his crew.
The action scenes look spectacular in 3D. Breathtaking at times and so good you wish they would never end. While the story of The Avengers is not too important to this one, the first Captain America is. The past comes back to haunt Cap whether he likes it or not. The banter between Cap and Widow helps lighten the darker parts of this movie.
Georges St-Pierre playing Georges Batroc, a French villain, is a small but entertaining role. Fans of GSP will be demanding more as his screen time is limited. Intense fight scene with Cap though.
This continues the trend of fantastic superhero movies released by Marvel recently. Decent character development, funny moments and the best action adventure in Hollywood today. Chris Evans is not as charming and over-the-top like his rival IronMan. However, despite Cap's dull personality, there's more than enough excitement in this flick. Easily the best watch in theatres today.

After dropping classifications in 2008, the West Texas Lady Comanches have established themselves as arguably the best 1A volleyball program in the Texas Panhandle and are poised to maintain that status in 2011.
During the 2010 season, the Lady Comanches went undefeated in district play. With the team graduating one senior from that squad, the expectations are for the team to challenge for another District 5-1A title and make a run in the playoffs.
There is no question football is king throughout the State of Texas. But in the Texas Panhandle, volleyball has established itself as the queen of the sports world, due to the playoff success of teams from Amarillo High, Randall, Bushland, Dumas, Hereford, Canyon, Pampa, Dalhart and our hometown Borger Lady Bulldogs.
While the high school boys were busy getting two-a-days started on the football practice field this week, high school girls have been working as hard in the gym preparing for the 2011 volleyball season.
On Monday, cross country, volleyball and football teams across the state of Texas rang in the new school year by diving into Two-a-Day practices.
The Borger Bulldog football team didn't waste any time holding their first practice, taking to the field at 12:03 a.m. on Monday morning in front of around 200 fans at Bulldog Stadium for Midnight Madness.
Entering the season, the Bulldogs are enjoying the luxury of having good numbers in the program, with 96 players signed up to take to the field, including eight new transfers.

The life of a racing greyhound is centered around training and racing around the track until it finally reaches the point it can no longer compete as a top athlete.
When that happens, the question becomes where do the greyhounds go and how are they placed into a good loving environment to live out the rest of their lives?
Lonnie and Marian Jones of Fritch play a big role in answering that question for several former racing greyhounds by serving as the West Texas representatives for the Greyhound Adoption League of Texas (GALT).
Anyone who has worked in the education al system knows the area that probably sees the biggest turnover from year to year is in the members of a school district's coaching staff.
The reason for the turnover is not always related to negative results on the playing field but many times is due to issues such as coaches just deciding to focus on teaching, going into school administration or exploring new opportunities in a different career field.
Borger Bulldogs fans can fondly look back on the 2010 football season, with the team finishing strong in winning the District 1-3A title outright and two playoff games.
As good as that season was for the Bulldogs, now is the time for the players and fans to put last year's memories behind them and start getting ready for the 2011 season.
Two-A-Days for the state of Texas can officially begin on Monday, Aug. 1, and for the second year in a row, the Bulldogs will kickoff their two-a-day schedule with "Midnight Madness" starting at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 1, at Bulldog Stadium.
Earlier this week, 2011 Borger High School graduate J'Cee Pool signed a letter-of-intent to compete in track for Texas Tech University in Lubbock.
Prior to heading down to Austin to compete in the state track meet in early May, Pool was still uncertain about where she would have the opportunity to compete in the discus and/or the shot put at the colleigate level.
At the time, Pool said a couple of schools had talked to her, including West Texas A&M University, but none had officially made her an offer.
On Friday, members of the Borger Bulldogs varsity and junior varsity football teams will take part in the first Wayland Baptist University-West Texas 7 on 7 Tournament.
The tournament will take place at Plainview's Greg Sherwood Memorial Bulldog Stadium and the surrounding practice fields.
Thanks to more high school football teams using spread offenses, summer 7-on-7 Football has grown in Texas over the past couple of years, with teams from Borger participating in tournaments for the third year in a row.
Being a California native herself, it should come as no surprise that Frank Phillips College Head Softball Coach Jenneffer Kohler has been busy on the West Coast, where she has been able to add four new players to her club for the upcoming season.
Coming to Borger this fall will be pitcher Devin Dean, outfielder Brianna Rodriguez and infielders Madilyne Logan and Lucinda Ponce. All four are coming from the state of California.

Claudine Longet and Spider Sabich
Life's a Beach
Judge Lohr added the "time of her choosing" clause to the sentence out of concern for Longet's children. He assumed she would want to serve her time while the children were on summer vacation.
But Longet had her own priorities. Not long after the sentencing, she stole away for a Mexican seaside vacation with defense attorney Ron Austin, who abandoned his family to take up with Longet.
Longet eventually did serve her time, mostly on weekends. Longet and Austin married and currently live in Aspen. Longet is now 63.
Longet has been allowed to live a private life in the resort town, but she has been portrayed as the duplicitous villain in pop culture.
A 1977 Saturday Night Live episode featured a segment about the "Claudine Longet Invitational Ski Shoot." Chevy Chase and Jane Curtin played commentators as a film showed a skier crashing after the sound of gunfire. "Uh-oh," Curtin said, "he seems to have been accidentally shot by Claudine Longet."
And the release of the Rolling Stones' LP "Emotional Rescue" was delayed in 1980 while lawyers vetted the potential libel in one of the cuts, "Claudine."
The song, written by Mick Jagger, included these lyrics:
"Oh, Claudine/Now only Spider knows for sure/But he ain't talkin' about it any more/Is he, Claudine?/There's blood in the chalet/And blood in the snow/She washed her hands of the whole damn show/The best thing you could do, Claudine."
The song was cut from the album, although copies have leaked out.
Like Jagger, prosecutor Tucker and Sabich's family believe that Longet killed a man and escaped with little retribution.
Vladimir Sabich Sr. filed a $1.3 million wrongful-death civil lawsuit against her. They settled out of court after Longet agreed to a confidentiality clause that barred her from speaking about Sabich.
"I wasn't looking for money," Vladimir Sabich Sr. told the Sacramento Bee in 1996. "I just wanted the truth. I kept her from publishing a book."
"I've always known she shot Spider Sabich and meant to do it," said former district attorney Frank Tucker.
"It's a shame, because Spider accomplished so much in his life," said Steve Sabich, Spider's brother. "Claudine accomplished only two things — marrying Andy Williams and getting away with murder."

[Source Description: 1 November 1845. Asa Biggs to Charles Manly. University of North Carolina Papers (#40005), University Archives, Wilson Library, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.]
Williamston Nov. 1. 1845
Charles Manly Esq
Secretary of the Board of Trustees of University of N.C.
Dear Sir
Enclosed is a check from Washington Bank in the Branch of Cape Fear at Raleigh for $192 & Cash $100 which is the amount due the Trustees by me except $1.95 which stands to their credit on my books. Below you will find a statement. I had not collected all the debts due R. B. Robason's estate but in my account I have assumed them so as to settle the whole at this time. This with the amount remitted which I received from Arch.d Parker is all that I have collected for the Trustees this year.
Please acknowledge the receipt
Very respectfully yrs.

This weekend I discovered a new gem for thrifting in downtown Duluth, GA. This That & Other Market Place is a family-owned shop so authentic, it smells of grandma's house.
Most of my findings were low-budget decorations and reproduction furniture. But the prices are affordable for collectors and flippers and you could endlessly pick through all kitschy wares that have made their way back into current trends.
Also, This That & Other has an entire back room full of brass findings (unfortunately my phone died before I could capture them.)

Who would our Harry Potter characters be?
1. Harry Potter - Clearly this must be Clark Hunt. The chosen one. Has magical business powers. Clean cut, wears glasses a bit mysterious.
2. Severus Snape - Todd Haley. Shaggy-haired, moody, temperamental, has a dark side.
3. Albus Dumbledore - Our dearly departed founder, Lamar Hunt. Guided the chosen one in his formative years. Quiet, even-tempered, but powerful with a rich and storied past.
4. Ron Weasley - Matt Cassel. Goofy, unsure of his abilities, still trying to make his mark in the wizarding world. Gets himself into troublesome situations and needs help getting out of them.
5. Minister of Magic - Scott Pioli. Enough said.
6. Lucius Malfoy - Carl Peterson. Slick, rich, powerful, well-dressed and trying to corrupt Hogwarts from within.
7. Voldemort - Al Davis. Pure evil and apparently can't be killed, even though he looks like a corpse.
Add your own.

Facts about cancer treatment at Sheffield Children's Hospital
- The Children's Hospital in Sheffield treats 60 - 70 new cases of cancer every year. The children and young people can undergo a variety of treatments including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and bone marrow transplant.
- Treatment can last from a couple of months to three years depending on the type of cancer.
- Finishing treatment can be an anxious time for patients and their families and the unit runs End of Treatment meetings, a UK first scheme, to help them through this period.
Four out of five childhood cancer patients now survive long term. Many of these can go on to lead normal healthy lives but a significant number have ongoing medical and psychosocial problems which can impact on their life.
For this reason children and young adults who have been treated for cancer are followed up long term in a multidisciplinary Late Effects Clinic to look out for long term consequences of their treatment and to continue supporting them in their return to normal life.

Nominated for: BEST Barbecue
Smoking is an art that relies on the senses. Through our many years of experience, we have perfected the craft hailing our unique smoke roasting techniques with much acclaim.
As in days of old our wood smoking signature of authenticity is the smoke ring and reddish color within the pork, beef, chicken, ribs, turkey etc.
Allowing the flavor of the sweet hardwoods to permeate the meat a low constant blaze is maintained. A tender crust seals the meat allowing it to smoke roast within its own succulent juices. The aroma this process exudes is heaven to the senses!
From the Kent Valley in Washington State, Presidents to paupers have tasted our unique Native Northwest flavor.
Being family owned and operated since 1971, it has been our intent to offer the public the convenience of "Comfort Food" for more than an affordable price!
Our seasoned staff (that's family and extended family) has catered events from five to five thousand and custom smoked everything imaginable. (You Choke 'Em—We'll Smoke 'Em!)

Nokia has released Here, its newly rebranded mapping application, for iOS devices running iOS 4.3 and up. The app is universal, so it works on both iPhone and iPad, and it's free. Users of Nokia's Windows Phone devices may find the experience familiar, as it includes similar features like nearby places discovery, but there are also crucial components like transit direction that aren't present in Apple's own pre-installed Maps app. In fact, Here has a public transport view that handily shows nearby routes and stops overlaid on the map. It also provides driving and walking directions. Read the full story at TechCrunch.

One of the last pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty, probably the son of Amenophis IV, he was born around 1345 bc. In 1333 bc he became pharaoh at a young age, but reigned for only nine years until his death in 1323 bc. Tutankhamen is well known because his tomb in the Valley of the Kings remained intact until it was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon. Although probably poorer than many of the great long-reigning pharaohs, the tomb nonetheless contained a remarkable treasure (now in the Cairo Museum) and provided much detailed information about the ritual of royal burial.
