BSCS programs incorporate a conceptual framework that is clear, progressive and integrated with many pedagogical strategies. The concepts build in a way that students understand. The activities, investigations, and readings engage students in a way that allows them to "have fun" while learning, opening them up to the natural world around them.
BSCS 5E Instructional Model
Watch a 7-minute presentation of the BSCS 5E Instructional Model by Nancy P. Moreno, PhD, BioEd Online, Science Teacher Resources from Baylor College of Medicine.
The BSCS 5E Instructional Model has its origins with the work of earlier science educators, in particular the Karplus and Thier learning cycle developed for the Science Curriculum Improvement Study (SCIS). The findings reported in the National Research Council research summary How People Learn supports the design and sequence of the BSCS 5E Instructional Model. Since the late 1980s, BSCS has used the 5E Instructional Model extensively in the development of new curriculum materials and professional development experiences. The BSCS 5E Instructional Model also enjoys widespread use beyond BSCS: at least three states strongly endorse using the BSCS 5E Instructional Model, and a Google search shows ubiquitous use of the model for curriculum frameworks, assessment guidelines, or course outlines; curriculum materials; and teacher professional development.
Findings related to the BSCS 5E Instructional Model:
- The BSCS 5E Instructional Model is grounded in sound educational theory, has a growing base of research to support its effectiveness, and has had a significant impact on science education.
- The most noticeable void in the literature is research exploring how the 5E approach helps students develop an understanding of the nature of science, and practical and teamwork skills.
- These conclusions indicate the need to conduct further research comparing the effect of the 5E Instructional Model on mastery of subject matter, scientific reasoning, and interest and attitudes with other modes of instruction.
- Continued work is expected to lead to refinement of the model based on research on learning.
What the BSCS 5E Instructional Model is/does:
- The five phases of the BSCS 5E Instructional Model are designed to facilitate the process of conceptual change.
- The use of this model brings coherence to different teaching strategies, provides connections among educational activities, and helps science teachers make decisions about interactions with students.
- Each phase of the model and a short phrase to indicate its purpose from a student perspective are:
- Engagement - students' prior knowledge accessed and interest engaged in the phenomenon
- Exploration - students participate in an activity that facilitates conceptual change
- Explanation - students generate an explanation of the phenomenon
- Elaboration - students' understanding of the phenomenon challenged and deepened through new experiences
- Evaluation - students assess their understanding of the phenomenon

Avant is the American R&B singer-songwriter. Not to be confused with Swedish electronic music producer Avant, who is part of the duet Bloodshy & Avant.
"I gave the new CD this title because it's the closest my fans have been to me on a recording yet," says Avant of PRIVATE ROOM, his third album (and first, on the new Geffen Records). "The other CDs were me, but the new songs are more intimate. PRIVATE ROOM is Avant up close and personal."
If the immediate embrace of "Read Your Mind," the CD's lead single, is any indication, then the singer/songwriter's listeners love the close proximity. Upon its release, the dynamic, sexy ballad caught fire at radio out the box, instantly finding an audience. "My fans love my slow grooves," says Avant, "and 'Read Your Mind' is one of those straight up R&B songs about what a man would say to a woman in the club. You don't know who she is, but you know you want her and she wants you. The attitude is sort of an update of Teddy Pendergrass' "Come On And Go With Me," where he's at the party asking the lady to go home with him. Same vibe."
Actually, during PRIVATE ROOM, written and produced mostly by Avant and longtime production partner Steve "Stone" Huff, the artist creates a musical vibe all his own, ingeniously yet effortlessly melding R&B passion with a certain hip hop sensibility to come up with a sound that is contemporary yet timeless.
One minute he is banging the club walls with "You," and exploring the carnal intimacies during the hypnotic, seductive "Phone Sex (That's What's Up)" and provocative, dramatic "Feast" the next. Avant can pull off those tracks, yet deliver the requisite big pop ballad "I Wanna Be" and the swaying, melancholy affirmation, "You Got Me" with equal emotional verve--and then bounce back with the bright and optimistic "Everything About You."
The singer authentically takes it back to the days of classic soul with "Don't Take Your Love Away," a gem of a ballad on which Avant uses a rhythm section. "That track is about any man who has messed things up in his relationship and now he's trying to make things right," he says. "On this one, I'm fighting for every man in America."
On two PRIVATE ROOM tracks--the infectious mid groove "Heaven" and "Have Some Fun," an anthem dedicated to The Good Time built on a whimsical modulation--Avant collaborates with hitmaker Warryn Campbell, who has scored with Luther Vandross, Sisqo, Kelly Price, Brandy and Mary Mary, among others. "It was great working with him," says Avant. "Someone different every now and then helps you to grow, and Warryn is such a talented cat. The clubs are doing to love 'Heaven, 'and 'Have Some Fun' reminds me of Curtis Mayfield with a young thing on it."
The new collection allowed Avant to further refine his craftsmanship as an artist: "I think I got better as a songwriter making this CD. I learned how to put more passion into my lyrics. I also learned more about my singing voice--how to do certain things and just go for it behind the microphone. It's still easy for me. Actually, I've found that my voice is getting stronger."
To be sure, Avant's growth can be heard in the new tracks. However, the young artist has been on the rise ever since he came into the music game. His debut 2000 CD, MY THOUGHTS released through basketball star-turned entrepreneur Magic Johnson's Magic Johnson Music label, featured the hit singles "Separated" and "My First Love" and scored platinum.
MY THOUGHTS' follow up, ECSTASY, featured the singles "Makin' Good Love" and "Don't Say No" and went beyond gold status, selling about 900,000 units- remarkable when you consider that most new acts are never heard from after a first outing. But then, Avant is the real thing, part of a fraternity of young, ambitious artists who, against the current backdrop of video posers and fakes, possesses genuine, ever developing gift.
Avant's respect for the art of classic black music can be traced to his childhood in Cleveland, Ohio, where he sang in the church. AA raw, natural talent was refined at the Cleveland School of the Arts before manager Eric Payton helped launch Avant as a professional in 1998 by independently releasing "Separated." Chicago's WGCI jumped on the record and its success eventually led to Avant signing with Magic Johnson Music. The single was re-released and included on Avant's first album, MY THOUGHTS, which met with critical and commercial success.
Avant does not prevail simply in the studio; on stage he prides himself on giving his all. "I truly put on a show, if I must say so myself," he laughs. "You know, when people come to see you they want to be entertained. They want to hear some breakdowns. That's what I give 'em, like back in the day." That Avant recently opened for such legendary acts as the Isley Brothers and Temptations is testament to his ability to captivate audiences of all ages.
And Avant continues to pursue his artistic whims. His recorded collaboration with Cedric the Entertainer will be featured in "Barbershop 2," the big-screen comedy in which he also has a role. "Listen, I want to do it all," he says. "But I will never forsake the music--that is my first love." Obviously. A torrid love affair that has gone public with PRIVATE ROOM.

Baby so please don't say you wanna give up,
How do I tell her that I've fallen in love (how do I tell my baby).
And I know your waiting patiently for that day,

When I'm with her, all I want is your touch (ooohh baby)
And when you call me I don't wanna hang up (oeehh oohh oo).
And I know I said it often but I can't wait till' we no longer have to lie about

Hey all! 2 weeks since the last log, eh? Well, not a lot happened:
I sorted all my IRL shit, and can work on the game now full-time, which is great.
The programmer is also working on it I suppose, I didn't hear from him for a few days, hopefully he made progress.
Now, this specific dev. log has a title, "IT BEGINS!", right? Right, let me explain why:
During the next 7 days I will start sending e-mails to various gaming websites with hopes of getting a coverage. Those emails will contain a trailer. A trailer that will most likely be put on youtube when I start that. We are shooting at darkness here, here's the problem:
The greenlight should also appear by that time. If we don't get coverage, we are doomed with the greenlight since marketing is 50% of the business nowdays. If we get coverage before the greenlight, we're doomed again so we need to put the greenlight before the e-mails which can take days and in that time the game will lose publicity on the greenlight, which is not a good thing. I am asking a few things now, and I would love if you answer:
1) *if you have experience* What is the best greenlight strategy? (We plan on shooting the link to the greenlight campaign along with the trailer & the game info to press)
2) If you like what you see on the greenlight, would you share it with your friends?
3) If you own a website or a blog, would you be interested in doing a coverage or maybe an interview?
4) If we DO pass greenlight, how much money would you be willing to spend on the game? *note: I know you don't know what the game really plays like right now, but let's just be hypothetical for a sec here
Thank you all, I will leave you with this zoomed in & looped sand tile, because everything else is saved for the trailer!

I had ga license and got DUI in 2009, did everything asked and reinstated. Now have fl license and got DUI this past weekend in ga, will this count as 2nd DUI in 5 years still? Also I refused test, will fl suspend my license for refusing out of state test?
Yes, this will count as a 2nd in 5. It's complicated, but your Florida license is in jeopardy. You were arrested this past weekend, so please know you have ten days to file the necessary paperwork to preserve your driving privileges in the meantime. That means hire a lawyer ASAP! I would be happy to answer any more of your questions.
I agree, escpecially with Counselor Tsourakis as he is a Florida Attorney. It will count as a second in Five in Georgia. this means that under Georgia Law your license would be suspended for aminimum of 4 months with a plea to the DUI. This, of course, does not mean that you have to plea to the DUI. You were asking for scenarios (or at least I implied it). Depending on where you received the ticket will determine what you could possibly work out. For instance, Atlanta (where I'm a former DUI prosecutor) works a lot differently from Cobb, DeKalb and Gwinnett. You should at least consult a Georgia attorney and a Florida attorney for free consultations.
Yes. it will be a second in 5 in Georgia. Georgia will suspend your license and transmit it to Florida under the Interstate Compact.
As I understand it, Florida will not automatically suspend your license just because you refused a test. The license consequences will depend on the outcome of your case. As others have mentioned, we would need to send paperwork ASAP to protect your license while the case is pending, and explore the possible defenses to the case. It can be very difficult for the state to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt without a valid chemical test. Just expect that the prosecutor will be less willing to reduce the charge to a non-DUI disposition because of the prior charge. So, it's important to work with an attorney who's serious about fighting your case if necessary, rather than accepting the first plea offer they give you.
It will count as a second DUI in 5 years for purposes of punishment by the Georgia Court. Florida will then recognize a conviction, and the results to your license will be based on Florida law.
If you are convicted of this DUI, or you undergo an administrative suspension, Georgia will suspend your privilege to drive here, and this will report to Florida. It will be treated as a 2/5 conviction in Georgia for terms of sentencing, and license suspension. If you are convicted, or go under an administrative suspension, you will be suspended in both Georgia and Florida and you will have to reinstate your license, or privilege to drive, in both states.

Exclusive: Economist Thomas Piketty traces the explosion of income inequality in America to political decisions, especially the right-wing policies of Ronald Reagan who simultaneously slashed taxes for the rich and decried government intervention in the economy, writes Jim DiEugenio.
Obama Takes Lead on Climate Change
Though the future of the planet is at stake, President Obama's latest moves to reduce carbon pollution are drawing the predictable denunciations from right-wing talkers and from politicians afraid of offending the coal lobby, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar explains.
Piketty's Exploration of Modern Capital
Exclusive: Despite some predictable griping from the Right, Thomas Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century has reinforced the case that Western societies – and especially America – are concentrating wealth at the very top and shortchanging almost everyone else, as Jim DiEugenio writes.
Learning the Lessons of the 1 Percent
America's transformation into a bifurcated society of a few rich and then the rest is occurring in academia as well, with bloated salaries for top administrators combined with the exploitation of poorly paid "adjunct" professors and a financial squeeze on students, as Lawrence S. Wittner explains.
Money and Second-Class Citizenship
As America divides more and more into a class-stratified society, the idea of "gated communities" has spread into other areas of separation in which the rich get special benefits, the middle class is treated shabbily and lower-income people face outright disdain, Lawrence Davidson reports.
The World Still Splurges on War
Amid continued splurging on war – with the U.S. government still far-and-away the world's leader – there are a few hopeful signs as common citizens learn from the likes of Gandhi and become more suspicious of advocates for violent conflict, writes Lawrence S. Wittner.
The Money Behind the Gun Madness
Since the American Right succeeded in reframing the Framers' "well-regulated militia" context for the Second Amendment, gun madness – punctuated by frequent mass slaughters – has become the U.S. nightmare. But the real motivation is money, says Michael Winship.
Premature US Victory-Dancing on Ukraine
Exclusive: The post-coup election of a pro-Western politician as president of Ukraine – and the escalating slaughter of lightly armed anti-coup rebels in the east – have created a celebratory mood in Official Washington, but the victory dance may be premature, says ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
The State Department's Ukraine Fiasco
Exclusive: The State Department's handling of the Ukraine crisis may go down as a textbook diplomatic fiasco, doing nothing to advance genuine U.S. interests while disrupting cooperation with Moscow and pushing Russia and China back together, reports Robert Parry.
The Proud Message of Utah Phillips
It is often forgotten that the path to the Great American Middle Class was forged in large part by labor activists and social reformers during the first six decades of the last century, a struggle that left behind a proud culture of music and stories that can inspire the present, as Richard L. Fricker recalls.

Vickers out with broken leg
2014 standout running back Johnathan Vickers will miss this season with a broken leg. Former Florida…
UF offense praises the defense
HunterJoyer is tested every day in practice
By Allison Banko
Date: Aug 30, 2012
There's no questioning that the Gators are up against a lot come Saturday's opener. The disappointment of last season. A new offensive strategy. Two quarterbacks splitting the spotlight. But Wednesday, offensive players unveiled it's what they've been up against in practice that's shining.

Everybody's favorite Hobbit is back on screen, but Elijah Wood isn't looking to form any fellowships. The star of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and TV's Wilfred -- currently in its third season -- plays serial killer and scalp enthusiast Frank Zito in a fine, first-person perspective remake of the 1980 thriller Maniac. What isn't disturbing, however, is Wood's list of Five Favorite Films, which I had the recent pleasure of collecting from him. Polite and charming, Mr. Wood presented his list after being put on the spot and deliberating acutely.
What did you do during your last vacation? Between the production and post-production of The Avengers, Joss Whedon decided to direct an adaptation of the Shakespearian rom-com-dram Much Ado About Nothing. Using a hand-picked cast from nearly every production he has ever been a part of, such as TV shows Dollhouse, Firefly, and Angel to name a few, he invited everyone over to his home, picked up a digital camera and some local cupcakes, and made a film. When we asked him about his Five Favorite Films, their influence on his films added another nuance to his numerous projects.
M. Night Shyamalan's latest film, After Earth, is a movie about finding the essence of your power in the face of great adversity. My feelings about my interview with the director seemed similar to those of Jaden Smith as he exited his grounded ship in the film, not knowing what lurked outside, but not having the luxury of letting it stop him, either. Would an interview with M. Night Shyamalan require a decoder ring? An encyclopedia? A tranquilizer dart?
Nick Offerman's mustachioed visage became a pop culture icon when his character on another NBC sitcom, Parks and Recreation, simply refused to fade quietly into the background as a small, supporting role. The legend of Ron Swanson has grown exponentially since the show's debut in 2009, and he is among the most popular characters -- if not the most popular -- on a hit comedy chock full of popular characters played by grade-A talent. These days, he finds it difficult to dissociate himself from the Ron Swanson mythos, but that doesn't stop him from trying different things, like his latest role in The Kings of Summer. RT spoke with Nick about the film, what it?s like to be pigeonholed as Ron Swanson, and how his love of carpentry helped get him into acting, but first, he gave us his Five Favorite Films.
Megan Mullally's career doesn't begin and end with television. Her comedic chops are certainly second to none, but her resume runs the gamut from music, live theater, and Broadway musicals to animated programs and, of course, film. Her latest feature role comes in The Kings of Summer, a coming-of-age film about three teens who flee their home lives to build a house in the woods and live off the land. RT spoke with Megan over the phone about her work in the film, her chemistry with husband Nick Offerman, and her musical choices as half of vocal duo Nancy and Beth. Naturally, she also gave us her Five Favorite Films.
Until recently, multi-talented Canadian filmmaker Sarah Polley was probably best known for her early work on the TV series Road to Avonlea and later for roles in films like The Sweet Hereafter, Go, and Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake. More recently, however, Polley has earned widespread acclaim for her two directorial efforts, 2007's Away from Her and last year's Take This Waltz. Polley continues her impressive work behind the camera this week in Stories We Tell and took some time to chat with RT, but first, she gave us her Five Favorite Films.
Australian-born actress/singer Clare Bowen is best known for her sudden rise to stardom as Scarlett O'Connor on television's Nashville with Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere. Now, in Dead Man's Burden, Ms. Bowen plays a different sort of young woman: one with a long-range hunting rifle. Bowen's lead character, Martha Kirkland, is a badass in a smokin' new western.
Dennis Quaid came into his own as one of the astronauts in 1983's The Right Stuff, and has since been one of America's most hard-working, consistent actors, appearing in everything from Innerspace and Wyatt Earp to Far from Heaven and Traffic. (And lest we forget his gallant, if doomed, effort to hold together Movie 43.) This week he plays dad to Zac Efron's rebellious son in Ramin Bahrani's At Any Price. With the film opening in limited release, we had a chance to sit down with Quaid recently and talk about his favorite movies.
She survived an alien attack in Independence Day and battled Beatrix Kiddo in Kill Bill. In Home Run (which opens in limited release today), Vivica A. Fox is up against a different kind of adversary. Fox stars as the agent of a hotshot ballplayer (played by Scott Elrod, who had a bit part in Argo in the script-reading scene) whose alcoholism and memories of childhood abuse are threatening to derail his career. In an interview with Rotten Tomatoes, the versatile actress shared her favorite films, as well as her love of sports and the wide variety of parts she's played over the years.
Filmmaker, provocateur, degenerate, genius: Harmony Korine is the writer of Kids and Ken Park, and the director of Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy, Mister Lonely, Trash Humpers and Spring Breakers -- the latter of which also happens to be, thus far, the best American film of 2013. Here are Mr. Korine's all-time favorite movies.
Kristin Chenoweth first made a dent in the public consciousness as Glinda the Good Witch in Wicked, a Broadway smash about the early years of the The Wizard of Oz witches. Since then, she's maintained a healthy career in television, and she's even become a staple at awards shows. She next stars in Family Weekend, opening Friday in limited release, and we recently chatted with her about her favorite movies, as well as the differences between working on the stage and screen and why she's drawn to dark comedies.
Derek Cianfrance's 2010 drama Blue Valentine earned strong reviews and confirmed stars Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling as among the best actors of their generation. For his follow-up, the filmmaker has again enlisted Gosling, together with Bradley Cooper and Eva Mendes, as part of an ambitious, three-part drama on the legacy of troubled fathers and sons. It's called The Place Beyond the Pines, and it opens in select theaters across the country this week. Here, we talk with Cianfrance about his favorite movies.
After rising through the ranks of music video auteurs in the 1990s, director Antoine Fuqua has carved out a feature career behind the camera on a series of tough action thrillers, including Brooklyn's Finest, The Replacement Killers and 2001's Training Day -- for which Denzel Washington took home the Best Actor Oscar. This week he's calling the shots on the year's first White House invasion epic Olympus Has Fallen, a sort of Die Hard-in Washington actioner starring Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman and Aaron Eckhart. We caught up with Fuqua recently, where he talked about his five all-time favorite movies.
Since his acting debut at age 13, playing an Ewok in Return of the Jedi, Warwick Davis has gone on to be a part of some of the biggest and best-loved movies of the past 30 years -- including roles in the Harry Potter franchise, the Star Wars prequels and, of course, the mighty Leprechaun saga. He even had his own TV series created for him by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, HBO's Life's Too Short. This week, Davis marks the 25th anniversary of his inaugural leading role, in the George Lucas-produced, Ron Howard-directed fantasy adventure Willow, which arrives on Blu-ray for the first time. We had a chance to chat with Davis recently, where he talked about five of his favorite movies.
Noomi Rapace rose to international stardom as Lisbeth Salander in the original adaptation of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its sequels, success she parlayed into roles in Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows and Ridley Scott's hit Alien prequel, Prometheus. With a sequel to the latter in the works and two movies opposite Tom Hardy on the horizon, Rapace is balancing a burgeoning Hollywood career with acclaimed roles in her native Sweden.
This week, she stars opposite Colin Farrell, Terrence Howard and Isabelle Huppert in the action thriller Dead Man Down, which reunites her with Dragon Tattoo director Niels Arden Oplev for his English-language debut. We spoke with the actress recently and got the scoop on her all-time favorite films.
Chances are that when audiences think "tough Cockney geezer" they picture Ray Winstone, the veteran British actor whose enduring gallery of rogues has practically given him trademark on the type. From his early roles as young punks and ne'er do-wells in movies like Quadrophenia, Scum and Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains through his unforgettable performances in Nil by Mouth and Sexy Beast, Winstone cornered the market in British hard men -- and directors like Martin Scorsese (The Departed) and Steven Spielberg (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) took note.
Winstone has just wrapped filming Darren Aronofsky's Noah opposite Russell Crowe, and this week he's in theaters as the lead in British hit The Sweeney -- an adaptation of the iconic 1970s police show on which, coincidentally, the star landed one of his earliest roles. We had a chance to chat with Winstone recently about his all-time favorite films.
You know him most famously as the "Jay" in "Jay and Silent Bob," the odd couple that frequently pops up in Kevin Smith's films (Smith himself plays Silent Bob), but Jason Mewes has managed to stay quite busy outside of his collaborations with his longtime friend (which currently includes a weekly podcast). His latest role comes in noobz, a wacky road trip comedy that pokes fun at the world of competitive gaming. Mewes recently stopped by the RT office for a guest spot on our Rotten Toatoes radio show and stayed a bit longer to offer us his Five Favorite Films. Click through to see what they were!
Two time Emmy winner Jon Cryer is one of the funniest men on TV, with Two and a Half Men still enjoying success in its tenth season. But we've also enjoyed his quite memorable film work for years. No child of the 1980s can forget his "Duckie Dance" in Pretty in Pink, Hot Shots! still makes us laugh, and some of us fondly recall him as a punk rocker in the Penelope Spheeris film Dudes. Now, after a DVD release of his stage performance in Stephen Sondheim's Company and the upcoming Sundance debut of Ass Backwards with Casey Wilson, June Raphael, Alicia Silverstone and Vincent D'Onofrio, this terrific talent was gracious enough to take some time out and discuss his Five Favorite Films.
It's hard to imagine just how surreal Damien Echols' life must have been. In 1994, the teenager was sentenced to death for his alleged part, along with two others, in the gruesome 1993 murder of three boys in Arkansas. Convicted by state prosecutors riding a wave of public and media hysteria, the so-called West Memphis Three spent the next 18 years in prison -- until an accumulation of new evidence raised doubts as to their guilt and, in 2011, they were finally set free. Having spent most of his adult life incarcerated, Echols has since become something of a celebrity, drawing the support of people like Peter Jackson, Johnny Depp and Eddie Vedder, who lent their weight to the campaign to free the falsely-accused men and expose the miscarriage of justice. Jackson also co-produced an extensive new documentary about the case -- Amy Berg's West of Memphis -- and with the film opening theatrically this week, we had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Echols recently. Read on for more of the interview, in which Echols talks about life in prison, his admiration for Stephen King, how the support of those famous pals helped save him from death row, and his plans with Depp to produce a screen version of his memoir. First up, he took a moment to talk about his five favorite films.
An accomplished performer on both stage and screen, Alan Cumming has played an impressive array of parts in his career -- from roles in blockbusters like X-2 and GoldenEye to independent films to projects as diverse as Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut and Robert Rodriguez's Spy Kids. It's testament to Cumming's enduring talent that he's earning some of the best notices of his career for his latest turn, in this week's Any Day Now, a moving drama about a gay couple in '70s Hollywood fighting a biased legal system to keep their adopted son.
With the movie opening theatrically this week, we got the chance to speak with Cumming about his five favorite movies.

Weekdays at Noon on 92.3 KTAR

If you worked from home, would you get distracted?
Yahoo! employees can no longer work from home.
According to CNN, all Yahoo! employees were informed of the change, intended to create more cooperation and communication amongst employees, via a Tuesday memo.
"To become the absolute best place to work, communication and collaboration will be important, so we need to be working side-by-side," the memo said. "That is why it is critical that we are all present in our offices."
The company has numerous employees who only sign on remotely, meaning they will have to move or resign. Employees are also being advised against telecommuting to work.

I have significant overseas experience, mostly with leading study tours. That contributes to my language skills. I have taught Spanish, German, English and Humanities, so I have a comprehensive view of language and culture and how they interact, as they affect the world around them. My students have been pleased with my ability to explain why and what is going on in the target language. Because I individualize my approach, I still communicate with students that I had from one year to thirty years ago. If you are serious about learning Spanish or German, message me.
I will work with the history of both the United States and the colonial period. One of my skills is to analyze a text to determine possible test questions, and another is to trace movements and their effects on the country.
I served as a pastor for 20 years and am a fully ordained Elder in the United Methodist Church. I attended St. Paul School of Theology, both in their Course of Study program and in their regular classes. I have taught, and continue to teach numerous Bible Studies, and classes on church fathers. Because of my Ph. D. in Spanish religious prose of the 16th century, I also have a strong background in Roman Catholic traditions and teaching.
I am one course short of a major, i.e. being a certified teacher in English, as based on the Kansas and Nebraska certification requirements. For a while I taught English as a supplement to my Spanish courses. Also, the college-level humanities course that I taught was primarily based on literature and mythology.
I taught German part-time for 9 years at the high school and early college levels. I also have 15 graduate credit hours in German.
I have taught Spanish for 30 years at all levels. Generally I can explain the why as well as the what of the grammar. I have made a dozen trips to Spanish-speaking culture, and am well acquainted with the literature as well as the language.

Remember how we mentioned that Abercrombie had been shamed by Corporate Responsibility Magazine at least partially for a lack of corporate transparency? Not sure we'd be so forthcoming about our practices either if we were helmed by CEO Mike Jeffries. Turns out Jeffries racked up $1.1M in charges for his use of the company's private jet for personal travel in 2008 alone. How's A&F roping in those non-business business expenditures? By capping off his use of the jet for personal travel to $200,000 (anything beyond this he can pay for out of pocket) and compensating him for the inconvenience with a one-time lump sum of $4M. Way to put your foot down! While we're at it, might we suggest golden parachute cargo pants for your Fall 2010 line? Nothing squelches a good PR crisis like a little self-deprecation.

Robert Dallek: How he ended up making an appearance at a furniture store
A few weeks ago newspaper-page-flipping New York Times readers (such as HNN's editor's mother) may have seen this double-take advertisement:
Dallek at Dallek's?
A publicity man's dream headline. What's behind it?
Turns out Robert Dallek's uncles own the well-known Dallek's furniture store, he told us in an email. When the book came out they asked him to make an appearance and sign copies of his new book on Nixon and Kissinger (the June HNN Book of the Month). And he agreed.
It was just like a bookstore appearance, Dallek told us.
Don't we all wish we had uncles like Bob's?

"The save the dates came very quickly and I ordered them to the UK, they were packaged well to keep them safe The print is lovely and the magnets are great quality I love them!"
"These turned out great, although when they arrived my mom freaked out because she thought the invoice on top was what all the magnets would look like. they are very study and the pictures turned out great."
"These save the dates were simply amazing. They were very easy to customize and all of our guest loved them, as did we! The magnet actually sticks to the fridge, unlike some of those cheap-os. The color quality was great as well as the picture quality, there was not graininess from the zoom. They made our wedding planning that much better. 100% satisfaction here!!!"
"I LOVED THIS PRODUCT---and your customer service. I would highly recommend the use of this company. The customer service was great (I had lots of questions, and made some design changes and custom colors), the ordering/shipping was SO fast, and I had my product from start to finish in less than a week. I was worried that by choosing a custom color scheme, that the quality of the product or design would change. I loved the card more than I ever would have thought! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!"

The job mela organised on Wednesday by the Department of Collegiate Education exclusively for students of government colleges evoked very good response from both students and recruiting companies.
Of the 2,414 students who registered for the mela, 2,149 appeared for interviews. As many as 214 of them received job offers and 756 students were shortlisted for various jobs.
LIC, ICICI, Airtel, Reliance, Café Coffee Day and Software Paradigm India were among the 55 companies that participated in the mela.
It was organised by the Department of Collegiate Education in association with Maharani's Science College and Maharani's College for Art and Commerce College for Women and is part of the department's novel scheme 'Sahayog'. It is a programme to infuse students with soft skills essential for employment and also to give value addition to their general education.
K.S. Rangappa, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Mysore, inaugurated the mela and advised students to select the field of their own choice after obtaining their degree.
Inferiority complex
Monica Ghosh, special officer of the Hosa Hejje programme of the department, said many graduates were losing out job opportunities because of their inferiority complex and poor communication skills in English. "It is to remove this inferiority complex and boost their confidence level the department had introduced 'Angla' for the first year degree students, 'Vikasana' for the second year students and 'Sahayog' for final-year degree students," she said.
T.N. Prabahakar, Joint Director of the department for Mysore region, said students of 67 government colleges from Mysore, Mandya, Chamarajanagar, and Hassan benefited from the job mela. Sudhakar Shetty, president of the Mysore Chamber of Commerce and Industry, was present.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Father's Day, fun at the Ex and some adequate weather
Just to see if you are on your toes, we are going to kick things off this morning with a hard-hitting, weather-related question.
Q: Other than Friday, which was a tad damp, have you been enjoying the sunny summer weather we've been treated to recently? Well, have you? A: NO YOU HAVEN'T! I apologize for engaging my keyboard's caps lock feature, but -- and this is a big but for us weather experts -- the pleasant weather you have been enjoying lately is SPRING weather.
But I have some good news, people: Summer is almost here. It officially arrives in this hemisphere on Friday with the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, the day when the sun reaches its farthest point north of the equator, the day when Dad is officially allowed to put on his Bermuda shorts, a dorky hat and slather his pasty skin with SPF 500 sunscreen.
As tradition demands in these parts, we are going to herald the arrival of another moody Manitoba summer with some (very bad word) lousy end-of-spring weather.
Today, for example, Environment Canada says we can expect increasing cloudiness, a 60 per cent chance of showers in the afternoon and evening, risk of a thunderstorm with a daily high of 23 C, which is one measly degree under the normal high of 24 C at this time of year.
On Sunday -- URGENT GIFT REMINDER: THIS ALSO HAPPENS TO BE FATHER'S DAY -- the outlook calls for more clouds with a 70 per cent chance of showers and a high of 21 C. On the upside, the weather office's website does not currently display any cute cartoon-style thunderbolts for Sunday.
I realize hardcore Manitobans will be stunned to hear there's an excellent chance of rain to help kick off the Manitoba Marathon and the Red River Ex, but we are a hardy pioneering people, capable of battling mosquitoes the size of Labrador retrievers, so we will survive.
Speaking of surviving, you can bid spring farewell by heading to the Ex for corn dogs, mini-doughnuts, the Giant Flea Circus, local artists displaying their work in shipping containers and, of course, the newest spine-tingling midway ride, the Mach3, in which a freakish 37-metre arm rotates up to 13 times per minute, producing an acceleration of 3.5 Gs for hapless riders. Good luck with that.
I also urge you to drag Dad out to Assiniboine Park today to join me at the annual Safeway Walk/Run to fight prostate cancer. The five-kilometre walk/run starts at 4 p.m. in front of the Lyric Theatre. Registration opens at 2:45. p.m. For $35, you get to walk and enjoy the barbecue.
This is also the opening weekend of the Winnipeg International Jazz Festival, with fun and funky shows in Old Market Square, including the Free Press News Caf©. You'll find more info at www.jazzwinnipeg.com.
And think of all the fun you and Dad will have Sunday getting up early to cheer on thousands of perky fit people taking part in a potentially soggy 35th running of the Manitoba Marathon.
Speaking of Dad, he's lying on the couch right now, snoring like a freight train in his lucky underpants and his ratty Bon Jovi T-shirt. Maybe this Father's Day, the best gift would be to let him sleep. You can wake him up when summer gets here... in 2014.
