Brown vs. Board of Education – 60 Years Later - A Presidential Proclamation
Brown v. Board of Education shifted the legal and moral compass of our Nation. It declared that education "must be made available to all on equal terms" and demanded that America's promise exclude no one. Yet the Supreme Court alone could not destroy segregation. Brown had unlocked the schoolhouse doors, but even years later, African-American children braved mobs as they walked to school, while U.S. Marshals kept the peace. From lunch counters and city streets to buses and ballot boxes, American citizens struggled to realize their basic rights. A decade after the Court's ruling, Brown's moral guidance was translated into the enforcement measures of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
On the 60th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, let us heed the words of Justice Thurgood Marshall, who so ably argued the case against segregation, "None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody...bent down and helped us pick up our boots." Let us march together, meet our obligations to one another, and remember that progress has never come easily -- but even in the face of impossible odds, those who love their country can change it.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 17, 2014, as the 60th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. I call upon all Americans to observe this day with programs, ceremonies, and activities that celebrate this landmark decision and advance the causes of equality and opportunity for all.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand fourteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-eighth.

'Quilt University' explores African-American cultural education
Written by Kevin Moore | | www.toledofreepress.com
Lucy Thelma Osbourne sees academia from a different perspective. Most people associate education with classrooms, teachers and textbooks. Osbourne, a woman now in her 80s who grew up in the sharecropping culture of the South, sees education as fabric, stitching and stories. She has shared her experience and thoughts on learning in her first book "Quilt University: Transforming Oral Learning into Academic Knowledge."
"I didn't know what to write about. What I knew about was me. I grew up in a segregated town called Evergreen, Alabama, so I didn't have the educational background for many subjects and wasn't taught language well. Then I discovered a quilt my grandmother had made, which fell out of a cabinet when I opened the door. So I started reading quilt literature and looking at quilts going way back."
Quilt-making played a prominent role in the South and in African-American families and neighborhoods. The process of making a quilt was a large undertaking that took up most of the day if not multiple days. Family members and neighbors would come together to make a quilt to celebrate life milestones such as a wedding, birth of a new child or someone going to college, with each person bringing scraps of cloth from everything ranging from drapery to flour sacks. While the group quilted, the family elders told stories and passed their knowledge down to the younger generations. Even the men in the community participated in a quilt-making project by gathering wood to build a frame on which the smaller sewn pieces could be stitched together to form the full quilt.

The First African-American Piano Manufacturer
At the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival in February, one couldn't help but notice the striking new grand piano on the main stage, emblazoned with the name SHADD. When the many accomplished pianists that weekend sat down to strike those keys, it was equally easy to spot their delight in the instrument.
That piano was the product of a trailblazer in his field. The Shadd in question is jazz drummer Warren Shadd, the first African-American piano manufacturer. That makes him the first large-scale commercial African-American instrument manufacturer, period.
For Shadd, piano making is part of his birthright. His grandparents were musicians: His grandmother was a ragtime pianist in the South in the '30s, and his grandfather invented (and performed on) a collapsible drum set. (He never patented it, a lesson his grandson learned.) Shadd's father was himself a piano technician, restorer, builder and performer — as well as a trombonist. And Shadd's aunt was the NEA Jazz Master pianist and vocalist Shirley Horn. A child prodigy, young Warren made his own concert debut at age 4.
Shadd Pianos are now in churches and concert venues across the U.S. — including the set of American Idol, where house keyboardist Wayne Linsey will play it on Wednesday night's episode. On a recent visit to Warren Shadd's home in a suburb of Washington, D.C. — a home that doubles as the Shadd Piano showroom — he spoke about his life and work.

The best (and worst) jobs for 2014
CareerCast is out with their annual ranking of the 10 best and 10 worst jobs for 2014, and let's just say that math and science guys everywhere are about to high-five.
Nine out of 10 of the best jobs fell into the STEM career category (science, technology, engineering and math), with the "numbers guys," in particular, locking in 3 of the top 4 spots.
"This absolutely verifies the importance of STEM careers," said Tony Lee, publisher of CareerCast.com andJobsRated.com.
CareerCast looks at 200 of the most populated jobs and then ranks them on a variety of criteria that fall into four key categories: environment, income, outlook and stress. (Stress alone has 11 different factors, from high risk to tough deadlines.)
"When you look across a range of criteria - not just salary and hiring outlook but also the work environment, physical factors and stress - [STEM] jobs are the best," Lee said.
Mathematician was named the best job for 2014, followed by tenured university professor and statistician.
There were some wild swings in the rankings this year - all three of those top jobs jumped double-digits on the list. Normally, you see single-digit moves from year to year. The reason is because the Bureau of Labor Statistics just updated their database to include more recent statistics and projections through 2022.
The results weren't as dramatic in the 10 worst jobs - many of last year's worst remained on the list, only moving a few spots either way. That's because they tend to be dangerous jobs with low pay - factors that simply aren't changing for these jobs.
Lumberjack earned the distinction of being the worst job, followed by newspaper reporter and enlisted military personnel.
The worst jobs list is where you saw residual effects of the recession peek through: Some of these jobs took an extra hit in the hiring outlook due to industry consolidation, municipal cutbacks or other factors.
One interesting thing you'll find on the worst list: Many of these people love their jobs, be they lumberjacks, firefighters or broadcasters.
"There are always going to be happy lumberjacks!" Lee quipped, adding, "We've talked to happy lumberjacks who say, 'I love what I do. I love being outdoors. I don't care that I don't make much money or that there are layoffs pending."
Read More The No. 1 source of stress at work
The list has a very practical application for teachers, who use it to launch a discussion with their students about careers.
Hmm. That's a great point. You never hear a kid say he wants to be an actuary when he grows up, do you?!
Hey, someone had to get that conversation started!

Long Island high school student is accepted at all eight Ivy League schools
It's tough enough to get into one Ivy League school. But all eight?
That's what happened to Kwasi Enin, a student at William Floyd High School in Mastic Beach, N.Y., this week. The 17-year-old received acceptance letters from Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale.
So where will he end up? Enin told Newsday he's already leaning toward Yale.
"They seem to embody all the kinds of things I want in a college," he said. "The family. The wonderful education. The amazing diverse students. Financial aid as well."
Enin scored 2,250 on his SATs, putting him in the 99th percentile. Still, the Long Island teen said he wasn't banking on getting into all eight prestigious universities.
"By applying to all eight, I figured it would better the chances of getting into one," he told the New York Daily News.
Enin, a first-generation American whose parents emigrated from Ghana, told the newspaper that he'd like to be a physician, possibly a cardiologist or neurologist.
For the record, he was also accepted by Duke, Stony Brook University, SUNY Geneseo and Binghamton University.

New SAT: The Essay Portion Is To Become Optional
Essay optional. No penalties for wrong answers. The SAT college entrance exam is undergoing sweeping revisions.
Changes in the annual test that millions of students take will also do away with some vocabulary words such as "prevaricator" and "sagacious" in favor of words more commonly used in school and on the job.
College Board officials said Wednesday the update — the first since 2005 — is needed to make the exam more representative of what students study in high school and the skills they need to succeed in college and afterward. The test should offer "worthy challenges, not artificial obstacles," said College Board President David Coleman at an event in Austin, Texas.
The new exam will be rolled out in 2016, so this year's ninth graders will be the first to take it, in their junior year. The new SAT will continue to test reading, writing and math skills, with an emphasis on analysis. Scoring will return to a 1,600-point scale last used in 2004, with a separate score for the optional essay.

Troubling Number Of Minority And Female Students Took This AP Exam In 2013
The Advanced Placement Computer Science exam clearly has a problem when it comes to minority and female high school students.
The College Board -- the association responsible for creating and overseeing AP testing -- on Tuesday released its annual report on AP exam participation and performance, noting that a vast majority of AP Computer Science test-takers in 2013 were white males. Of the more than 20,000 students to take the exam last year, 81 percent were male and 54 percent were white. Only 9 percent of the test-takers were Latino and 3 percent were African-American.
The following graphs break it down:
Senior research scientist Barbara Ericson of Georgia Tech University provided a separate analysis of the test data, painting an even bleaker picture of the situation in some parts of the country. Her analysis reveals no African-American students took the AP Computer Science exam in 11 states, and that not a single female, African-American or Hispanic student took the test in Montana or Mississippi.
The numbers suggest that the world of technology, which is already dominated by white males, may continue being a white man's club.
Deborah Davis, the director of college readiness communications at The College Board, told The Huffington Post in an email that the organization recognizes these problems and has been taking steps to up the number of minority and female test-takers.
"The College Board is deeply committed to increasing access to rigorous computing courses, particularly for underrepresented female and minority students. In order to address this issue, we have collaborated with national organizations, other nonprofits and the private sector to ensure expanded access," wrote Davis.
More than 1 million students took AP exams in 2013, according to The College Board report. Nine percent of these test-takers were African-American, and 19 percent were Hispanic.

Do ACT and SAT scores really matter? New study says they shouldn't
Teens across the U.S. are standing by their mailboxes, waiting anxiously for the envelopes that will seal their academic fate. It's college admissions season and for many students a lot hinges on how well they performed in standardized testing.
But how much should exams like the SAT and ACT really matter?
A study published Tuesday that probed the success of "test-optional" admissions policies in 33 public and private universities calls into question the need for such testing.
Former Dean of Admissions for Bates College William Hiss led the study which tracked the grades and graduation rates of students who submitted their test results against those who did not over several years.
Hiss' data showed that there was a negligible difference in college performance between the two groups. Only .05 percent of a GPA point set "submitters" and "non-submitters" apart, and the difference in their graduation rates was just .6 percent.
There are about 850 test-optional colleges in the U.S., and the trend is growing slowly.
What should college admissions officers look for instead? Hiss says GPA matters the most.
"The evidence of the study clearly shows that high school GPA matters. Four-year, long-term evidence of self-discipline, intellectual curiosity and hard work; that's what matters the most. After that, I would say evidence that someone has interests that they have brought to a higher level, from a soccer goalie to a debater to a servant in a community to a linguist. We need to see evidence that the student can bring something to a high level of skill," Hiss said.

Oscar 2014 predictions: Who's getting the gold? We don't know! But we can guess!
- 4:10 pm Wednesday, February 26th, 2014 by Leslie Gray Streeter
I love these Oscar prediction stories that we write every year – "we" being those of us who get paid to write such things – is that we are throwing darts and hoping they land. We are pretending to be Babe Ruth calling our shot but are really a blindfolded kid with no sense of direction being spun around and asked to pin the tail on the Oscar winner. We think we know where our target is. But where it lands, nobody knows.
But it's fun to play, right?
So here are my picks predictions educated-ish wild flailing guesses for this year's [More]

Matthew Birt says:
Ben Spies fears his recovering right shoulder injury won't be back to 100% strength until early next month when the MotoGP world championship's European campaign kicks off in Jerez.
The Texan suffered a serious shoulder injury almost six months ago when he crashed out of a rain-lashed Sepang race in Malaysia.
Movement is not an issue but strength remains a major problem...

Don't be a fool Ben. Ive never heard from you till you arrived in Sbk with Yamaha. And i must say i was a big fan right away because of your riding style and determination, and you took the title to. but in motogp you dont seem you anymore. now that was due to failure by you and yam but i would rather see you happy in wsbk fighting for podiums and the championship then to see you fighting for 10th.

he has nothing to prove left in moto gp, has won a race and troubled most on a good day, the factory ride didnt work out but things have changed since that time too, step out before another injury ruins your full career,many others would be on that ducati like a shot. he still will struggle at full fitness because imo he has lost his self belief.

I am still trying to come to terms what made him chose Ducati over two very good rides one from Honda and the other a return to WSBK racing with BMW. I think the move to Ducati is just a stepping stone and if it fails like at Yamaha Factory Racing 2012 then this time IMO Spies will go back to WSBK like ow01fogno1 says he has nothing to prove in MotoGP I just can't wait for the summer to arrive and see what decision Spies makes I hope its a good one this time.

Would this really be an option? Tell me which top ride he would take off someone else... BMW - No. Honda - No. Kawasaki - Possibily. Aprilia - No. He's peaked and has now lost his pace. Back to AMA would be his best bet I'd say, massive paycheck for beating a field of useless yanks. Think he'd struggle in BSB also
Spies had the chance to ride the BMW with Melandri as his team-mate but he turned it down and opted for the dreaded Ducati. Aprilia sounds a good option to me I seriously doubt he would consider going back to AMA. WSBK is the best bet with Aprilia factory.

We have a windows 2003 RM CC3 network with a weird problem. Every so often (and we cant identify a pattern) our main Forest Root server just hangs, bringing with it a whole network freeze. Sometimes the server comes back to life other times, we have to turn it off and on (you cant even shut it down). There are no entries being made to the even logs in any folders - everything looks fine! The symptoms point to a server hardware problem but I'm not convinced.
I want to monitor the server to see if I can find out what its doing when it goes wrong. What tools do you guys use to do this? Network Monitor just churns our loads of low level stuff that dosnt make a lot of sense to me. I was hoping that there might be something similar to the debug facility within Exchange where you can have the system write lots of info to the event logs? Not sure what values to select in Performance Monitor!

I'm genuinely surprised I couldn't find any pictures of Kira with one of his girlfriends. So I took it upon myself to make one.

He's so very pretty when he's being tortured :D
Ok I assume you want more than that. Uhh…he's pretty awesome in general and fucking fantastic in the hillarible MGS1 novelization (I haven't read the MGS2 one). I like that he's kind of socially awkward and probably would be a dog hoarder if left to his own devices for too long. And that he's kind of a broken shellshocked vet in MGS1. I haven't played any of old Metal Gear games so I can't give any opinion on him in those. He not my very favorite Snake (that being Liquid), but I love all of them lots.
All in all, I would say I am Pro-Solid Snake.
Sidenote, I fucking hate drawing Ocelot's torture machine even though I've drawn it too many times.

This commission has a rougher style at the commissioner's request.
I've never played any of the pokemon sidegames, but I hear Colosseum is brutally hard. The player character, Wes, has an unexplained white line across his face. Here's one idea for its origin. That's supposed to be his former boss, Gonzap, doing the branding btw.
On second thought, that wasn't such a good idea. Looks like ya'll are safe until my tentacles grow back.
#20. Vore
Vore doesn't do anything for me, but I can appreciate the element of horror it can add. I think soft vore is silly, though, especially with the stretchy stomach element. When it comes to vore, I say go big or go home. Hard vore all the way!
Send me more fetish list requests. School's starting up soon, and I got a few more days of the game meme left, but I miss doin' these.

This could probably use some more tweaking and more background detail, but I'm really sick of working on it. Tokyo Akazukin is probably not worth fancy fanart, and it's too obscure for many people to care, but I felt strangely compelled to illustrate this scene.
I've been a fan of Benkyo Tamaoki's art since that fateful day I walked into a bookstore at the tender age of 12 and pulled a copy of Blood the Last Vampire off the manga shelf. After overcoming my shock at finding (censored) porn in a chain bookstore, I stealthily flipped through the book, taking in the lovely artwork, fearful that someone would catch me looking at it.

My Beelzemon D-Arts figurine just came in the mail today. This is how I celebrate. I have no idea what happened to him, but I blame the Bruised Beaten Boys tumblr for inspiring me.
I tried to be bolder with shadows and lighting this time. The wing stumps were really tricky, I've never drawn amputation before (that I can remember). Drawing bruises on blueish skin was kind of weird.
TL;DR Plastic Crack Rambling:
The D-Arts Beelzemon fig is pretty sweet. I've never gotten a D-Arts fig before (oh how I pine for the BlackWarGreymon that I'll never get my hands on), but they seem to be pretty good quality. I paid about $10 more for mine by buying it through Amazon instead of a shady Hong Kong seller.
It stands about 6.5 inches tall, and the box was more compact than I expected (also very engrishy). There's a ton of articulation, and a second head and two extra sets of hands. The parts you can swap out are really hard to pop on, but at least they're secure. The guns don't stay in Beelzemon's hands very well, but the holster keeps one inside very securely. The tail only has a single joint in the middle, but is built in a way that allows a lot more posing options than you'd expect. I'm pretty happy with it and would recommend it for any Beelzemon fans who need drawing reference and have 40-50 bucks to throw away.
EDIT: FFFFF I FORGOT HIS TEENY EXTRA PAIR OF WINGS. Digimon, why are your character designs so complicated.

Is Gulfstream Gearing Up for the G600?
Gulfstream Aerospace's announcement yesterday of four new directors at its Savannah, Ga. headquarters hints at design elements for the widely expected G600, which is thought to be a composite-fuselage, long-range widebody business twinjet. Gulfstream has repeatedly denied such speculation, and a spokesman today maintained there officially is no G600 model, even though the company holds trademarks for this model name, the G625 and G675. Perhaps the most telling appointment is that of David Hornick, who has been tapped as Gulfstream's new director of composite technology. Previously he was the engineering and technology director for GKN Aerospace in Tallassee, Ala., where he led engineers in the development of composite aircraft assemblies. "Gulfstream already uses composites in tail sections and floorboards," the spokesman told AIN. "But we continue to look at composites for other uses–and we wanted someone who was an expert in the field." In addition, Joseph Ireland III was promoted to director of mechanical systems, a field that encompasses flight-control systems; Cindy Jefferson is the new director of initial phase procurement; and Fred Karst was promoted to director of service engineering.

Reading Topic Sentence Practice (page 2)
Often, writers express their main idea in a clearly defined sentence known as a topic sentence. Topic sentences are usually found at the beginning of a paragraph in order to immediately establish the main idea. But this is not always the case— topic sentences can be found anywhere in a paragraph, and sometimes, the author chooses not to use one at all. Still, looking for the topic sentence is a good skill to have when ferreting out the meaning of a reading passage.
For the following three questions, choose the topic sentence that best fits the paragraph.
- The term spices is a pleasant one, whether it connotes fine French cuisine or a down-home, cinnamon-flavored apple pie. _____. In the past, individuals traveled the world seeking exotic spices for profit and, in searching, have changed the course of history. Indeed, to gain control of lands harboring new spices, nations have actually gone to war.
- The taste and aroma of spices are the main elements that make food such a source of fascination and pleasure.
- The term might equally bring to mind Indian curry made thousands of miles away and those delicious barbecued ribs sold on the corner.
- It is exciting to find a good cookbook and experiment with spices from other lands—indeed, it is one way to travel around the globe!
- The history of spices, however, is another matter altogether, and at times, it can be filled with danger and intrigue.
- It weighs less than three pounds and is hardly more interesting to look at than an overly ripe cauliflower. _____. It has created poetry and music, planned and executed horrific wars, and devised intricate scientific theories. It thinks and dreams, plots and schemes, and easily holds more information than all the libraries on Earth.
- The human brain is made of gelatinous matter and contains no nerve endings.
- The science of neurology has found a way to map the most important areas of the human brain.
- Nevertheless, the human brain is the most mysterious and complex object on Earth.
- However, scientists say that each person uses only 10% of his or her brain over the course of a lifetime!
- _____. It rained in April; it rained in May. It rained in the mornings; it rained in the afternoons. It poured, it drizzled, it showered, it misted—but always it rained. But the good news is we won't have a drought this summer.
- The rain makes me gloomy.
- This spring was the rainiest on record.
- Rain is nice, but I prefer sunshine.
- Scientists know very little about the global climate.
- A fireplace should be lined with special fire bricks to prevent heat transfer.
- Normal bricks are not dense enough to withstand excessive heat.
- Fire codes also require a smoke alarm in every room.
- Good up-drafts can make a pleasant fire, however.
- Modern houses don't use as much lumber as older homes did.
- Cosmetic plastic surgery is one of the fastest-growing segments of U.S. medicine.
- Cosmetic plastic surgery can have dangerous side effects, some of which can be fatal.
- Americans are eager to make their bodies as perfect as possible and to minimize the visible signs of aging.
- The price of cosmetic plastic surgery is also on the rise.
- This increase in cosmetic plastic surgery says something quite disturbing about our culture.
- If a car suddenly begins to skid on ice, a driver's instinctive reaction might be the wrong one.
- Skids can be a terrifying experience.
- Cars can be very unpredictable on ice.
- Many people instinctively turn the wheel in the wrong direction, making the skid worse.
- New tires can help reduce the risk of skidding on ice.
- The "lead" inside the common pencil is actually not lead at all.
- Lead is commonly mined in Africa.
- Pencils were invented in 1603 by William Ledbelly.
- Even when sharpened, a pencil may not write as well as a pen.
- The substance used in pencils today is graphite.
- The Greek ideal of the hero most closely resembles today's freeagent superstar.
- A superstar is an athlete who commands a great salary based on his individual skills.
- he Greek warrior's focus was on grasping at immortality, and he did this by ensuring that his name would live on, long after he died.
- The Greek hero valued self-interest above loyalty to a cause, his king, or to his army, just as the free-agent superstar values his contract salary above any special team, coach, or the game.
- The Greek hero was impressive in his performance on the battlefield as well as in the sports arena.
- There is no instruction by the old bird in the movements of flight; no conscious imitation by the young.
- The most obvious way in which birds differ from humans in behavior is that they can do all that they have to do, without ever being taught.
- More extraordinary than the fact that a bird is able to fly untaught, is that it is able to build a nest untaught.
- Young birds frequently make their first flights with their parents out of sight.
- Young birds brought up in artificial environments will build the proper kind of nest for their species when the time comes.
- Parents play an important role in their children's academic success.
- Video games have a negative impact on children's academic success.
- Studies show that children of parents who regularly assist with homework and show an active interest in their child's studies bring home better grades.
- Studies show that watching less television and spending less time playing video games help children get better grades.
- Children who are avid readers get much better grades than their peers.

- In Moby Dick, Herman Melville wrote that the whale men were "enveloped in whale lines," that each man relied on the others during moments of danger.
- The small boats that pursued the whales left the whaling ship far behind; each man in a boat had to depend on the others to stay alive.
- Once the whale was harpooned, the whale line unraveled so fast that water had to be poured on it to keep it from smoking.
- The whale line was the rope, dozens of yards long, that attached to the harpoon; it was raveled under the seats of all the men metaphorically connecting each man to the next.
- One wrong move and the line would snap a man right out of the boat; thus, his life depended on whether the crew would cut the whale loose to save him, or leave him in the ocean during the heat of the hunt.
For the following questions, a topic sentence is given. Try choosing the sentence that best develops or supports it.
For the final two questions, choose the sentence that does not support the given topic sentence.
- d. The mention that searching for spices has changed the course of history, and that for spices, nations have …. gone to war, implies that the subject of the paragraph is history. These phrases also connote danger and intrigue.
- c. The mention of all the amazing things the brain is capable of is directly relevant to its being mysterious and complex. The other choices are less relevant.
- a. The paragraph is complaining about the rain that fell in April and May. Only choice b fits in with that topic.
- a. The topic sentence speaks of fire bricks and their prevention of heat transfer. Only choice a continues that topic.
- b. This choice is the only one that supports and develops the topic sentence. The other choices all say something about cosmetic plastic surgery, but they do not support the topic sentence, which states that cosmetic plastic surgery is one of the fastestgrowing segments of U.S. medicine.
- c. All of the choices do address cars skidding on ice, but only choice c addresses the driver's reaction. Notice also the repetition of the "instinctive" response.
- d. The topic sentence addresses the misconception that pencils contain lead. Choice d goes on to elaborate on that misconception.
- c. Choice c is the only entry that presents the similar traits of both the hero and the superstar. Choice a only defines a superstar. Choice b defines the hero. Choice d introduces irrelevant material—the sports arena, with no mention of the superstar.
- a. This choice is a comparison between man and bird. Neither one needs instruction to do what is important to its life. Choices b, c, and d do not support this topic sentence.
- b. This choice is the only one that talks about how parents make a difference in their children's academic success. The other choices don't mention parents at all.
- c. The main idea is that the United States limits immigration numbers. Choices a, b, and d show the effects and statistics that result from this actio but do not support the topic sentence.
- d. The topic is weed killers attacking plant roots, not the dangers of weed killer to pets or people.
- d. Choice d gives us a reason why more people are eating organic, so it supports the statement made in the topic sentence. Choices a and b are about organic products, but they don't provide logical reasons for the increasing popularity of organic foods. Choice c is about another topic completely.
- c. This choice introduces the idea that some laws are strange. Choices a, b, and d are examples of strange laws.
- a. This topic sentence states the importance of a cat's whiskers. Choices b, c, and d give other details that do not directly support the topic sentence.
- c. This choice states the popularity of the game. Choices a and b state the game's origin. Choice d explains how its popularity spread.
- c. This sentence gives a reason for longevity that was introduced in the topic sentence. Choices a, b, and d are about longevity but do not give any reasons.
- a. Choice a pronounces an end to 16 years of violence. Choice b, c, and d are facts about James's life.
- c. Great wealth is not an indicator of honor. Each of the other choices describes the honor that is received. Choice a says, greatly respected, choice b—a revered poet, and choice d— long-lasting reputation.
- b. The topic sentence presents the idea that all the men are connected by whale lines, each man relies on the others for his safety. Choice a states this idea explicitly: Each man "had to depend on the others to stay alive." Choice c presents the idea as metaphorical, each man is connected to the next. Choice d offers an example of how a man can be thrown overboard and must rely on his crew to cut their whale loose and come back and get him. Only choice b does not make any connection to the men.

Very enjoyabletyui123 | Sept. 11, 2014 | See all tyui123's reviews »
A game where you kill zombies (or as they're called in the game, mutants) by typing. Fun to play, hilarious dialogues and also an amazing soundtrack. Features low to high difficulties which I think add to the replayability too. I recommend this game to everyone.
Enjoyable and funny!TPCGorillaMunch | July 19, 2014 | See all TPCGorillaMunch's reviews »
This game isn't the best tool for learning how to type quickly but it isn't bad either. If you want to improve your typing skills and kill zombies at the same time this could be the game for you.
The game can be played cooperatively and also includes mini-games and almost endless replayability due to the ability to beat your high scores. The game also includes The House of the Dead Overkill which is basically the same game except you click to shoot, rather than type words.
The game is funny with hilarious characters and overall an enjoyable game that I would recommend trying, particularly if you want to improve your typing ability.
Ridiculously hilarious typing exercise.MafuMafu | June 23, 2014 | See all MafuMafu's reviews »
Do you expect this game to be a serious FPS and/or FPT? (First Person Typing. Yes, I genre that I've just made up because I want) Well, think again. This game is ridiculous. That amount of swearing in this game is also ridiculous. It feels like an 80's movie. You can either type or aim in Typing of the Dead or House of the Dead, respectively. Your choice. With the challenges and the hardcore mode, you can replay the game as much as you want or until you master your typing powers. Buy it now or zombies will eat your brain.
Unique, fun and usefuldarkyhbk | June 19, 2014 | See all darkyhbk's reviews »
Which other game has you shooting zombies by writing stuff on screen? None. That's the concept behind Typing of the Dead: a rail shooter, where all you have to do is write words which appear over zombies in order to kill them. And these lead to very funny moments, since sometimes they are perfectly placed in the context of the game. You also collect medpacks and other items, but you have to be fast to press a button when you see them on-screen. The story and action is typical to Grindhouse movies, while the dialogue is very similar to a Robert Rodriguez movie. You'll even find some really nice references to pop culture if you listen carefully. Go get it. It's extremely fun and it will get you typing much faster.
Sick of shooting zombies? Why not type then?13th | May 15, 2014 | See all 13th's reviews »
Anyone who is a fan of killing zombies (which let's face it, is everyone nearly) should at least try this game once. It is fun, frantic, fast and funny. Where else are you going to find a game which will have you type random word after random word to kill zombies other than the original typing of the dead, You best hope you know your keyboard like the back of your hand as this game will test you, but it will keep you coming back for more every single time

Stays put!
posted 5 years ago
I bought this as I use a treat pouch every day working with dogs at the shelter. It snaps shut easily, but stays open when you need it to. I like the fanny pack style, as I have had several clever dogs steal the traditional pouches from my belt. It's nice that it has an extra pocket in back, but it's hard to access. It's a must for anyone who is training their own dog or works with canines regularly.
Pros: Easy to shut and stays in place
Cons: Hard to access back zippered section

Did you?
Like the style
posted 5 years ago
I like this style of bag because it's more of a pouch. Plus it's not totally fanny pack looking. Great to use. Only 4 stars since I prefer my old Home Depot pouch (simply and super easy to clean!)
Pros: Nice style
Cons: Still prefer my good old Home Depot pouch

This download will be managed by our ad-supported smart download manager. Learn more
Before downloading: Clean your Mac with MacKeeper
Screenshots of uTorrent for Mac
uTorrent for Mac Publisher's Description
This is beta software, and may contain serious bugs. We think it's stable enough to share and hope your feedback will help us improve it.
Micro-Sized Yet Feature Filled
Most of the features present in other BitTorrent clients are present in µTorrent, including bandwidth prioritization, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading and Mainline DHT (compatible with BitComet). Additionally, µTorrent supports the Protocol Encryption joint specification (compatible with Azureus 188.8.131.52 and above, BitComet 0.63 and above) and peer exchange.
µTorrent was written with efficiency in mind. Unlike many torrent clients, it does not hog valuable system resources - typically using less than 6MB of memory, allowing you to use the computer as if it weren't there at all. Additionally, the program itself is contained within a single executable less than 220 KB in size.
Skinnable and Localized
Various icon, toolbar graphic and status icon replacements are available, and creating your own is very simple. µTorrent also has support for localization, and with a language file present, will automatically switch to your system language. If your language isn't available, you can easily add your own, or edit other existing translations to improve them!
Actively Developed and Improved
The developer puts in a lot of time working on features and making things more user-friendly. Releases only come out when they're ready, with no schedule pressures, so the few bugs that appear are quickly addressed and fixed.

Southern Vermont College Announces Gift from Helen Dixon Kunzelmann
December 19, 2011
The Board of Trustees at Southern Vermont College is pleased to announce that the College has received a substantial endowment gift from the late Helen Dixon Kunzelmann of Old Bennington. Mrs. Kunzelmann, who was well known for her many contributions to and affection for the Bennington community, died June 15, 2011, at the age of 93.
Mrs. Kunzelmann was a graduate of the Dana Hall School and Vassar College and is survived by her two grandchildren, Christopher Ely Kunzelmann and Laura Kunzelmann Hastings, and five great-granddaughters.
This endowment gift will be distributed to the College over a period of several years, commencing in December 2011. The income from The Helen Dixon Kunzelmann Endowment is designed to enable the College to pursue its educational goals and will provide support for initiatives at SVC that will further its capacity to serve its students and facilitate their success in higher education, including through student scholarships.
"We are deeply honored by this remarkable and generous gift from Mrs. Kunzelmann. It is reflective of her belief in Southern Vermont College's bright future and the role of the College within the Bennington community she so loved," SVC President Karen Gross said. "Endowment gifts like this are institutionally transformative and provide both short- and long-term benefits to the College. I look forward to sharing the College's ongoing plans for this gift with Mrs. Kunzelmann's grandchildren as, together, we honor their grandmother's legacy."

Topics: Medicare, Medicaid, Politics, Health Reform
Apr 09, 2013
Senators are planning to grill Marilyn Tavenner, the Obama administration's nominee to head the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, but Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., has said she is "eminently qualified," and her confirmation is expected.
Politico: Eric Cantor Could Sway GOP For Marilyn Tavenner
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor will introduce President Barack Obama's nominee to run the Medicare and Medicaid agencies at Tuesday's Senate Finance Committee hearing to consider her nomination — a bipartisan boost that signals that she's likely on course for confirmation. Cantor, who has known Marilyn Tavenner since he was in the state Legislature and she worked in Virginia, has called her "eminently qualified" to be administrator at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. That job also encompasses a lot of the implementation of the health care law (Haberkorn, 4/9).
Modern Healthcare: Tavenner Likely To Get Intense Grilling, But Confirmation Expected
Senators are planning a bipartisan policy grilling of Marilyn Tavenner this week, but they're likely to move her toward becoming the first confirmed CMS administrator since 2006. Tavenner, acting administrator since December 2011, is not expected to face the harsh political treatment that Democrats feared her predecessor Dr. Donald Berwick would get, according to congressional sources (Daly, 4/8).

They are doing extremely well on our native pasture that is in drought, and I mean bad drought. They are hardy and will produce good quality milk on grass. They do get a treat of alfalfa pellets about once a week so they will come up to me, as you can see in the pictures. These heifers will start calving in April and we can hardly wait for the calves to hit the ground!

And Now For A Fish Called Honda
Once upon a time there was a Fish called Honda, and he had a motorbike. One day he took his motorbike for a walk in the wild woods. "Hello," he said to all those in the Forest. "I like playing with matches." "With matches?!?!" everyone else called as they saw his nice bike. They were so afraid, that they killed him. The moral of the story is to never talk to strangers.

Residents sign petition calling for Chattanooga Housing Authority police officers to be fired
LR103 you are an idiot. You have no clue what you are talking about. You and Yolanda Putman need to get together and create more bull to write about in the news. Just about all of the residents in the public housing comunity are great people with a lot to share, it is the baby daddys, cousins, and grandkids that are doing wrong while trying to visit selling dope out of their unit. They suppliment the income of baby momma and grandmom with illegal drug sales and when the bad guy gets arrested and put on the trespass list is when lyes are created about officers to incompitant writers that creat stories about bull dropping stuff and not report the facts. Yolanda is a poor excuse for a reporter and has it out for CHA because she had family kicked out for illegal drug sales. Let her report about that, family tradition of corruptness?
Former CHA resident association member receives eviction notice
Dear FM_3 thank you for your comment. One of the greatest things in this world is freedom. We all have some rights and we have have some ability to speak as we wish and we all have the ability to live where we want. If I dont like where I live I move. I understand that there are people that do not have the ability to move and need Public Housing but 80% of the people in public housing are lazy. I work three jobs to make sure my family has what they need. Not very many people can say they do that. When you have people sitting on their porches and walking up and down the street doing nothing being nonproductive citizens then tough. They deserve what they get. I would love nothing more then having the ability to sit on my porch and drink beer or better yet spend more time with my 2 year old son. I work my tale off for my wife and my son just like God wants. I know for a fact that Officer White is a great cop and CHA doesnt want Ms. Henry gone but they are forced but the contract of Federal government for funding people who are violant criminals. I too would like to see people gone for sponge off the poeple of the United States of America. FM-3 it looks like public housing did what it was designed to do for you. Give yoou assistance for the period of time needed to get you on your feet and move on. Officer White is upstanding and more then fair. I was Officer Whites partner years ago and I can personally attest and put my life on her integrity. If you dont like a situation get out. Yolonda Putman is truley a person I would love to see gone from the staff of the free press. I am asking for her resignation again.
Former CHA resident association member receives eviction notice
Dear Ms. Putman. I am saddened to read such and article. No sorrow for the resident but for the Officer. In todays world it is hard enough to be a Police Officer but what is really bad is to be a Police Officer and have fabricated stories such as this being posted around the community in the newspaper. Number one, nobody cares that a person of ten years in public housing is being evicted for assualting a Police Officer. CHA is absolutly correct in taking the action of eviction. Anybody that is being subsidized by the Federal Government should be evicited. The government should not fund criminals. The Police officer is an upstanding Officer and has been for a number of years. What interest does the Police Officer have in fabricating a story? Why would CHA want to make sombodies life bad? There are more caring people at CHA and do their jobs for the very little money and recognition. Do they do the job for kicks? No,they do the job because they care about people. I personally think you may have a vendeta with CHA and the employees and always write such rediculous stories of fabrication with out research. You should be asked to step down as a writer because of your lies. I personally know about you lies becuase I too am a victim of your key stroke lashings of lies and fabrications. Officer White is a great Officer and would never lie about an incident. CHA would never ask an Officer or employee to delibratly cause harm to a CHA resident. I am asking for your resignation Ms. Putman.

Facebook Told Me It Was Your Birthday, So…Yeah.
Today is my birthday. Turning 23 isn't exactly a special milestone (other than, you know, still being alive, I guess), but nonetheless, hopefully it's a fun day to hang with my friends, play some video games, and have a few beers.
But with every birthday, since the advent of Facebook, it's been interesting to see who wishes you a happy birthday. Let me preface what I'm going to say by saying that I am, in fact, grateful that people acknowledge me on my birthday. It's nice. But, realistically, how many people will I actually return this pleasantry to when their time comes?
See, the problem with having your birthday outed on the main page of Facebook is that it compels some people that you never talk to to wish you a happy birthday. And like I said, it's nice, and very kind of them. It's just that one simple factor that bothers me: the part where, apart from being Facebook friends, we do not talk. At all.
I don't want them to feel compelled to do so because Facebook brings it up.
Look, if we don't talk or would never talk in the real world, it just sits weird with me that you would take this opportunity to go out of your way for this. I mean, I don't really use Facebook too often anymore, so unless we talk regularly, your chances of getting a happy birthday back from me is basically zilch. I'm not trying to be rude about it; it's simply the cold hard truth.
And that's another thing: Am I expected to say happy birthday back, just to return the favour? Scratch your back if you scratch mine? If that's the case, fuck that noise. I should want to wish you well, not have to, and I think because of things like Facebook, the line between have to and want to on this subject gets blurry for some people.
Of course, if this bothers me as much as it does, the simple solution is to remove these people I maintain no contact with whatsoever from Facebook…but like I said, I don't really use it all that much anymore, and being the lethargic son of a bitch that I am, I'm more content with time simply taking its course and the people on the other end cut the ties themselves. If they ever do.
And, if I may, one little aside: don't beg people on Twitter, or any social network, to wish you a happy birthday. It's just…I don't know if "tacky" is the right word, but I'll use it for now. Begging for acknowledgement at all because it'll stiffen your ego boner for a little while is kinda immature, and I wish people would just quit that.
My point in all this is I find it weird when people wish me a happy birthday when we don't talk, I don't want them to think they have to just because they discovered that it's my birthday, and I'd be more comfortable if they didn't say anything.
…but because they did anyways, I'll say that's nice of them.
