Chinese immersion programs in Utah continue to grow
Steve Fidel, Deseret News
RIVERTON — First-graders in Susan Shumway's Chinese immersion class at Foothills Elementary School in Riverton never hear her speak English. And after the first half of the school year, they never speak English to her, either.
Everything in class is done in Mandarin, regardless of whether they are studying vocabulary words or math. They even color in Chinese — singing familiar children's songs, but with oh so unique lyrics, as they color and cut at their desks.
State-directed curriculum for this immersion program began in 2009 with the urging of the Mandarin-speaking governor at the time, Jon Huntsman Jr., and legislative support sponsored by Sen. Howard Stephenson, R-Draper. The program continues to grow with the support of current Utah Gov. Gary Herbert.
Huntsman and Herbert are together this week in China as Herbert leads a trade mission in the waning days of Huntsman's tour as U.S. ambassador there.
Spanish immersion programs in Utah still outnumber those teaching Mandarin, but both programs are strong and growing. By the time the next school year begins in the fall, the state expects to see about 2,200 elementary school students and 5,000 students in secondary schools studying Mandarin.
"We're adding schools as fast as we can," said Gregg Roberts, world language specialist for the Utah State Office of Education, who said limited funding is the only reason the immersion program is not growing even faster.
Roberts said the governor would like to have 100 dual-immersion programs in five languages with 30,000 students by 2015.
"Next year, Utah will have approximately one-third of all Chinese immersion programs in the country," he said. Programs will also continue in Spanish and in French. The state has chosen, but not announced, what additional languages it will add, Roberts said.
Carolyn Gough, world languages consultant for the Jordan School District's dual immersion program, said children learn languages quickly and see the greatest measure of success when they start young.
"People who are savvy about business recognize the world is no longer round. It's a flat, spreading economy, and China is where a lot of our business opportunities are going to be in the near future," Gough said. "I think most parents recognize there's a great opportunity for their children to know and speak Chinese."
"It's all about economics, economics, economics," Roberts said. "We know that students will be farther ahead and have jobs skills if they are fluent in Chinese."
Heidi Sabey's daughter Kaylin is in Shumway's first-grade class. "We really thought this would be a great learning experience for her, to give her a higher level of learning, and the challenge. We were excited for the different level of thinking she could have."
Kaylin brings a lot of what she learns home. "She has been teaching her little sisters, and my husband and I, and she's getting it," her mother said. The Sabeys hope Kaylin's two younger sisters are also in the Chinese immersion program.
Kaylin said she likes writing the Chinese characters, and "I like to sing in Chinese." Caleb Grossarth said he likes learning Chinese because it's something not all of the kids at his school get to do.
"My favorite thing to do in Chinese class is journal and the calligraphy book," said classmate McKenna Thompson.
Sydnee Nelson also likes writing Chinese characters the best, "because it kind of helps you understand what things mean," she said. In the future, "maybe it will give me a good chance to give me something for college."
The students also spend half a day with an English-speaking teacher, where they are also still learning handwriting skills.
Shumway said her students are "just like sponges."
"They're very excited. At the beginning of the year they were a little intimidated," she said. "But you can see the excitement in their eyes. They pick up so much stuff so quickly it's just amazing."
Limited funding isn't the only obstacle the state has as it pushes the immersion programs forward: There is also a limited supply of qualified teachers. Roberts said there are currently 25 guest teachers in Utah from China and five more from Taiwan. Brigham Young University and the University of Utah are starting to produce qualified teachers, and other universities in the state are exploring programs that would produce teachers capable of teaching in dual-language programs.
Roberts said the state immersion model is receiving international attention.
"The French government is giving us six paid teachers from France. They're going to start our exact model in schools in France next year," he said.

Everyone thinks the Rio 2016 Olympic mascots look like Pokemon
The yellow feline mascot for the Olympics represents the animals of Brazil, while the tree-like Paralympic mascot represents Brazilian flora and fauna.
The 2012 Summer Olympic Games, officially known as the Games of the XXX Olympiad, are due to be celebrated in London from 27 July to 12 August 2012.
The yellow feline mascot for the Olympics represents the animals of Brazil, while the tree-like Paralympic mascot represents Brazilian flora and fauna.
Tokyo was chosen to host the 2020 Summer Olympics, besting fellow finalists Istanbul and Madrid. The Japanese capital won the bid Saturday, following a secret ballot that took place during the 125th International Olympic Committee session in Buenos Aires. 94 IOC members voted in total. Tokyo beat Istanbul 60 votes to 36 in the final round of the selection process. The Turkish city eliminated Madrid in a first round tie-breaker.
A lost Olympic ticket was returned to its owner within hours -- all through the power of Twitter. Cameron Montgomery, 29, found the ticket on the morning of Aug. 3 at a train station just north of London. Valued at nearly £300 (almost USD $500), it was for an athletics event that very evening. But rather than attend one of the Games' most popular events, Montgomery opted to find the ticket's rightful owner by combing through social media.
All of the Fab Five -- Sporty, Posh, Baby, Ginger and Scary -- reunited to perform at the London Summer Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday. The Spice Girls, a wildly popular all-girl group from the late 1990s, sang their hits, "Wannabe" and "Spice Up Your Life." They emerged from bedazzled London taxis, wearing outfits matching their spicy personas -- albeit more mature versions of them.
After widespread criticism of NBC's airing of the 2012 Summer Olympics, the television network announced that it will live stream Sunday's closing ceremony online. NBC Sports Chairman Mark Lazarus acknowledged that the network's much-maligned handling of the Olympic opening ceremony led to this change. "Going into the opening ceremony, we didn't have a sense for what our ratings would be and what streaming would or wouldn't do to our broadcasts," Lazarus told the Associated Press.
Guy Adams, a Los Angeles correspondent for London paper The Independent, was suspended from Twitter on July 30 after tweeting the email account of Gary Zenkel, the President of NBC Olympics.
Non-sponsors of the 2012 Olympic Games aren't allowed to use the logo, Olympic rings and words like "Olympic" and "London 2012." But are these strict guidelines too much? Paddy Power and Nike seem to think so. The companies have both come up with covert Olympic-themed advertising that uses other cities around the world called London, so as not to infringe upon the official sponsors' rights.
A trip-around-the-world plane ticket can cost up to $10,000. But you can see every Olympic Stadium that's still standing right here for free. Better yet, Google Maps gives you a world-class aerial view. SEE ALSO: How to Watch the 2012 Summer Olympics Online What city do you think has the best stadium? Sound off in the comments.
If you break one of these rules, the Olympic Committee requires that you write them 100 times for punishment. SEE ALSO: Some Olympians Chafe at IOC's Social Media Rules Comic written and illustrated by Jerry King.
Once in every four years, the world's strongest, fastest and fittest athletes get together in what can only be called the tournament to end all tournaments. It's time for the Summer Olympics! But why passively watch the Summer Games when you could play them? Like any big event, the London 2012 Summer Olympics has plenty of gaming tie-ins. These are our five favorites.
NBC has taken unprecedented steps to make the upcoming summer Olympic games the most web-friendly Games ever, from partnering with Twitter and Facebook to its commitment to live stream coverage of every competition - more than 3,500 hours of live video. But when the London Olympics kick off this Friday, you'll have to tune in the old-fashioned way to catch the opening ceremonies.
The approaching 2012 Olympic games are sure to shatter world records, but NBC hopes to set records of their own with this year's social media campaigns. And the network is already off to a good start -- Twitter reports there were more tweets about the Olympics during only one day of trials than the entire 2008 summer games.
Today's social community isn't what it was during the Beijing Olympics. This year's summer Olympics will be what some are calling the first "Socialympics." The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has revamped its social media policies. And those strict rules also apply to Facebook and Twitter. If you're a marketer or social media manager, here's what you need to know before sharing: Brands cannot associate themselves with the Olympics.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has posted an epic music video for the official song of the London 2012 Olympics. English rock band Muse wrote the song, titled "Survival," specifically for the games. The track is a perfect anthem for the Olympics, but it's the YouTube video that really gets us excited. The video opens with a reverse highlight reel of the Summer Olympics, beginning in 2008 and going back to the start of the modern games.
To mark the upcoming Olympic Games in London, a crew of astronauts due to launch to the space station this summer is planning an orbital sporting event for the occasion. NASA astronaut Sunita (Suni) Williams, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency spaceflyer Akihiko Hoshide and Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko are due to launch July 14 to the International Space Station. Their planned four-month stay in space will overlap with the London 2012 Olympics July 27 to Aug.
It's easy to get wrapped up in all of the big name countries that go to the Olympics, such as the United States or Russia, but have you ever thought about those countries that don't have as much money for a team or only have a few athletes who qualify? My family has a tradition of picking one or two of the smaller countries that can only send one or two athletes to the games, and sort of "adopting" them for us to root for over the course of the competition.
Once every four years athletes from around the world come together to compete in the summer Olympics. This year they have traveled to Beijing, China, and with the games about to begin, we've gathered 25 sites to help you experience them and learn more. Discover the various sports and athletes, create activities for the kids, and maybe even feed those that come over to watch the festivities with you.

Villanova, PA (Sports Network) - JayVaughn Pinkston scored 19 points, leading four players in double figures, as the Villanova Wildcats delivered a 75-65 win over the Delaware Blue Hens in a non-conference meeting at the Pavilion.
Also scoring in double digits for the Wildcats (7-4), as they won their third straight and the fourth in the last five outings, were James Bell with 14 points, Daniel Ochefu 11 and Darrun Hilliard 10 points.
Leading the way for the Blue Hens (3-8) were Devon Saddler and Jarvis Threatt with 19 and 15 points, respectively, as the team suffered a second straight defeat and the seventh in the last eight outings overall. Jamelle Hagins accounted for 12 points, eight rebounds and four steals for the visitors, while Kyle Anderson chipped in 10 points as well.
In the first half the teams experienced five ties and just as many lead changes, but thanks to a late layup by Pinkston the Wildcats moved out to a 32-28 advantage at the break. Delaware trailed at intermission despite shooting 52.2 percent from the floor.
The Blue Hens made only nine total field goals in the second half, connecting on just 2-of-8 beyond the arc, which allowed Villanova to put together a couple of small scoring runs to pull away for the 10-point win.
The Wildcats controlled the glass with a 43-27 rebounding edge, with 20 of those boards coming at the offensive end of the floor.

Description: Harley and Luke happened to be in town at the same time. I knew as soon as they met that they would hit it off. One afternoon, they started comparing tattoos and checking out each others' bodies. When Harley gets a closeup view of the one on Luke's hip, a smirk washes over his face and he begins tugging at the jockstrap that is obscuring his view. Harley leans in and engulfs Luke's furry cock with the warmth of his mouth. As Luke's cock swells to full size and Harley's slurping and gagging increases, Luke wants to get in on the ass eating game and jams his face into Harley's waiting rectum. Harley flips over, then stands with his cock at eye level for Luke. Luke immediately takes the uncircumcised monster into his mouth and begins tugging at his ballsack. Harley grunts and a giant wad of jizm lands on Luke's chin, followed by several more. Then Luke stands and fills Harley's mouth with thick white load.

True to form, Alessio can't wait to get my hard cock into his warm, wet mouth. As he does, I knead the muscles of his arms and chest, enjoying the feel of the fur on top of the flexing biceps. His cock is stiff beneath his shorts. Like a champ, he takes my cock all the way down to base, gagging on it slightly before looking up at me for approval. Lying between my legs, Alessio services my cock in such a way that he has me convulsing with ecstasy, slurping on then jerking my dick with his fist. I rise to my knees, ready to blow my load. He opens his mouth to catch the thick white goo as he jerks his dick. We both cum almost simultaneously with Alessio ending up a furry, cum covered mess.

Eagerly trying to gobble every last inch of Antonio's manhood, Logan buries his face in the thicket of black pubic hair, gagging slightly and holding in position for a few seconds with each bob of his head. Antonio grabs his cock and begins jerking madly before pumping a giant load onto Logan's waiting tongue and covering his face with white frosting. Slurping all that cum up has Logan ready to bust. He stands as Antonio kneels, ready to catch his protein shake. Antonio happily cleans the thick cream from his buddies pulsating cock.

Description: Max Cameron decided to take a trip down to visit me and some of his other friends in San Diego, and so far his trip has been loads of fun. So I whipped mine out and let him have at it. Max has almost no gag reflex, so he laid into it like a champ. His cock makes a nice hand full, so I made sure to give it some attention too before I kicked off my pants and went in for another go at the back of his throat. Good thing he was hungry for it, because I let loose a huge load all over his mouth - enough that it gushed out the sides. But he made sure to get every last drop and lick my dick clean before I squeezed one last drop onto his lips.

I gently slide a finger, then my thumb into his fur lined rectum. I rub my cock against his crack, teasing his hole. His cock is rock hard now as he kneels in front of me, jerking his own pink stiffy. I work my cock down his throat and gag him before he licks my balls. I jam my dick into his waiting lips and jizz all over his outstretched tongue. A river of cum runs down his chin and drips on the floor while he slurps the last few drops from the tip of my cock. He reaches down and jerks his own cock until it explodes all over his ginger pubes.

He sucks cock like a champ and I tell him as much. Bringing him up on his knees, I stand over him. With the tip of my spurting head to his lips, I feed him every last drop. WIth the hot warmth of my man-jizz still trickling down his throat, Gavin cums quickly. His beaded pearl drops glisten on his stomach, his torso, and the floor. He brings a finger to his lips and tasting a drop of his splooge, smiles into the camera. I ask him if he's ready to do some more porn for me. Gavin immediately replies, "Of Course!" as his grin grows wider. I chuckle to myself knowingly: We're going to be good friends.

Description: Paul Fresh doesn't mind "moving a rod" for Joshua X, as long as there is "a hole" in it for him. These two sweaty workers take some time to get hard and off. Joshua gives it up, tied to the post, and Paul gets top honors for "work done with a tool." For these two, sucking, spitting and gagging is just the foreplay. After the blow jobs, Paul bends the bottom over to "salivate" in the beefcake's hole. Slapping and "tenderizing the meat," Paul then goes in and fucks the hell out of the bottom. We get some great close-up and "tight" angles. Don't worry about Joshua's groans; it just helps Paul keep pace. Changing into various positions, these laborers stay hard throughout; Joshua enjoys "scratching" Paul's abs with his cock, before he turns around and "wags his ***." Holding the bottom's hips down, Paul starts to thrust from below and both are on the edge. With a "fuck me baby," the bottom squeezes out every last drop of jizz. The top shoots up from below, back into Joshua's hole and then
Description: Tomm's not a guy you want to bother with, unless you need a hard fucking. When Mayer drops a pallet on Tomm's foot, this boy is just "gagging for it." Pissed, Tomm grabs Mayer's face and grinds it into his crotch; "scenting" that Mayer enjoys the punishment, Tomm adds some slapping for good measure. Pulling down his pants, Tomm, who'll top, is already hard and shoves his big cock right into the bottom's open mouth. By the time Mayer stands up, the two are ready for some sword play. Trading off with more oral action, both studs are up for something a bit "deeper." Mayer gets on Tomm's cock like he's hammering in a nail; both their gorgeous muscular bodies flex and redden. Once the bottom turns around, we can see why Tomm's been so "driven;" that sweet ass does enjoy the "hard" work being put into him. Tomm then stands Mayer up, ties him to a post, and rails him; no one fucks like Tomm. From below, the sweaty hot action just keeps on coming, and dripping. Close, the top pulls out and blo

Description: I met this cum hungry stud a month ago at one of the Manhunt Mansion pool parties. I was minding my own business getting pissed on off in the corner and I spotted him and his buddies watching. I ended up chatting with them and was feeling their vibe so we snuck into the mansion and found an empty room and had a full fledged man orgy. Unfortunately it came to an abrupt stop because we were caught by one of the residents and were understandably asked to leave. But I'm greedy and wanted more of this ***'s ass so I had him come over to my place this past week to finish what we started and it was such a hot fucking lay! I truly appreciate a willing bottom who lets me have my way with him. Gagging on cock, drowning in piss, relentless hole pounding, dildo double penetration, multiple loads: this piggy bottom took it all with a smile and still begged for more. I definitely feel like I'm getting my mojo back!

Description: Sex is hot, but power is even hotter. In the debut scene from NakedSword's ADDICT, power top Trenton Ducati tries to let go, only to find that control is the one thing he can't give up. In this edgy exploration of desire, Trenton starts off bound and gagged, unable to move more than an eyeball. This time, it's Max Cameron who holds all the cards. The hungry bottom teases Trenton without restraint, getting him hard, letting him have just a taste of his incredible body. Cocky with his newfound power, Max straddles Trenton, and rides him like a toy. But does he go too far? Because isn't long before Trenton breaks free and gives Max a taste of his own medicine. A stunning scene that turns notions of top and bottom on their head, and will have you aching for another hit.

Description: When Josh whips out his hot thick cock, John only took a few seconds before he was leaning over and jamming the military meat down his throat. He bobbed happily for several minutes on Josh's dick before he asked him to return the favor. Josh grudgingly obliged. He slipped his lips over the Staff Sergeant's shaft all the way to the base. Then slowly he starts to withdraw the other soldier's meat from his mouth, but gags as it releases from his throat. Now that these two are totally horned up, Josh needs to give John some marine fucking. He puts John on his back and slowly slides his cock into the other marine's ass. When he gets it all the way in, he begins to pump rhythmically—giving him the entire piece of meat with every stroke. He bangs away at John's ass, making the marine moan in ****. When he's satisfied that he's had a good fuck, Josh pulls out and circles around to John's face. He lets loose rope after rope of thick cum, coating John's face and chin with a thick film of whit

Description: The fireman grudgingly leans over and opens his lips to the marine's ample cock. Brent moans with ecstasy as his cock is covered in firefighter spit. Rusty occasionally gags on the thick marine meat. When the dominant marine has had enough head, he commands the younger firefighter to get on his back and take his military cock up his ass. Rusty resists at first, but eventually gives in. Within a few seconds Brent is railing Rusty despite moans and groans of ****. Showing no mercy, Brent continues to give the fireman a good military maneuver as he flips him over and takes his ass ***gie-style. When Brent senses that Rusty can take no more, he pulls out and coats the tattooed back of the fireman with stream after stream of white hot jiz. The loads coats almost every square inch of the tanned back with white frostiness.

EJ Viso slots in nicely in pinch-hit role for Hinch Sunday at IMS
May 11, 2014, 8:00 PM EST
Welcome back, EJ Viso, even if it's in admittedly less than ideal circumstances.
The Venezuelan was forced to withdraw on the eve of the 2013 Verizon IndyCar Series finale at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, with Carlos Munoz drafted in as a last-minute replacement at Andretti Autosport.
Now it's Viso's turn to deputize for one of the Andretti quartet, with James Hinchcliffe sidelined due to a concussion suffered during the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis.
Hinchcliffe was checked and released Satruday evening from Indianapolis Methodist hospital with symptoms of a concussion. On Sunday, the Canadian made a brief appearance, but no medical evaluation was performed today and the three-time race winner returned to his Indianapolis home to rest and recuperate. Hinchcliffe could return to the speedway for re-evaluation as early as Tuesday, however a date for his next medical visit has not yet been set. In the meantime, the Canadian is not cleared to drive in Indy 500 practice sessions.
That leaves it to Viso to fill-in in the interim. On Sunday, he was immediately comfortable and back up to speed in his first running of any kind since driving Starworks Motorsport's Riley Dinan Daytona Prototype at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, and his first running in an IndyCar since the streets of Houston last October. He ended sixth at 222.105 mph after 28 laps, most of them in traffic.
"So far things have been pretty smooth," Viso said. "I love working with these guys. Last year I had an amazing year, an amazing experience, and I only have positive things to talk about my teammates and my team. This opportunity just showed up overnight."
Viso also addressed the flow of information regarding his appointment to the seat on Saturday. The Venezuelan tweeted a picture of him in Hinchcliffe's firesuit shortly after news got out he had a concussion, but later deleted the tweet.
"Of course we all know what happened to Hinch – at the same time, he is a great friend of mine, he was my teammate last year," he said. "Right now I'm helping him out, putting miles on his car and hoping he comes back soon and jumps back in. It's all credit to the team; we have a very strong car, and I think with the little things we're tuning up, they'll become very important later on in the week when we start trimming the car. As of now we have a good database from last year to start the month off."

Failing BBC Trust facing the axe as ministers plan to hand over regulation to Ofcom
- Move comes after row over 'excessive pay-offs' to senior BBC executives
- Independent regulator Ofcom already oversees most British broadcasting
- Ministers hope Ofcom will take over regulation of BBC from the Trust
The BBC Trust is facing the axe as ministers plan to hand over regulation of the organisation to Ofcom, it has emerged.
The move comes after an escalating spat between the former BBC director general Mark Thompson and the Trust chairman Lord Patten over 'excessive pay-offs' to senior executives.
The scale of some of the severance payments, many of them made as austerity cuts swept Britain, angered politicians and members of the public, who fund the broadcaster through a compulsory licence fee.
Now ministers hope to move regulation of the BBC away from the Trust to Ofcom which already oversees the standards for the rest of British broadcasting.
Changes: Minister hope to axe the BBC Trust so the Corporation can be regulated by Ofcom
A source within the culture, media and sport department told the Sunday Times: 'It is clear the Trust, which is both a cheerleader for the BBC and its regulator, does not work. There are contradictions.'
The first chairman of the Trust Sir Michael Lyons agreed that changes need to be made.
He told the newspaper: 'On the Trust itself, maybe it is time to move on.
'But if there is a lesson to learn from all that's been happening at the BBC, it is that there should be more emphasis on its governance than its regulation.'
It comes ahead of appearances by both Mr Thompson and Lord Patten at the Commons public accounts committee tomorrow to answer questions over who approved over-payments of around £2.9 million to departing BBC staff over the course of six years.
The head of the BBC Trust, Chris Patten, told a parliamentary committee hearing in July he was shocked by the size of some of the payments and unaware a number were more than required under contractual terms.
Ongoing row: The chairman of the BBC Trust
Lord Patten, pictured left, and former Director General Mark
Thompson, right, have been at loggerheads over the scandal of excessive
pay-offs to Corporation fat cats
But in a written submission to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), released on Friday, Thompson said: 'The picture painted for the PAC by the BBC Trust witnesses ... was - in addition to specific untruths and inaccuracies - fundamentally misleading about the extent of Trust knowledge and involvement.'
Thompson said he had backed up his submission with evidence and would not comment further until he appeared before the committee tomorrow, a body which oversees government expenditure.
Patten, a senior British conservative politician best known for handing control of Hong Kong back to China in 1997, told reporters he 'had no concerns at all' about Thompson's submission.
The BBC Trust said it rejected Thompson's statement, and called it 'bizarre'.
The stand-off between the two men has raised questions about which senior managers were aware of the payments and whether public money was used appropriately.
The inquiry into payments to senior BBC staff was triggered after Thompson's successor, George Entwistle, left the BBC in November last year after just 54 days in the top job with £450,000, which the National Audit Office later said was equivalent to a 12-month notice period set out in his contract.
Entwistle stepped down to take responsibility for a BBC news report which falsely accused a former senior politician of child abuse and allegations the corporation covered up decades of sex abuse by one of its late stars, Jimmy Savile.
Controversy: Mr Thompson has sent a dossier to
MPs as he seeks to rebut damaging claims that he was at fault for not
making the BBC's governing body fully aware of controversial payments to
former executives Mark Byford, left, and Sharon Baylay, right
A National Audit Office report in July, requested by the Public Accounts Committee after a public outcry over the size of payments to Entwistle and other executives, found a number of large sums were paid to managers, some of them exceeding contractual requirements.
Mark Thompson, in his recent submission to the committee, said the Trust had been aware, in particular, of severance payments to former deputy director general Mark Byford and to former marketing chief Sharon Baylay.
Byford departed with £949,000 and Baylay's settlement was worth £395,000 - both of them 12 months' pay in lieu of notice on top of redundancy payments - the National Audit Office report said. It did not say that those payments had exceeded contractual requirements.
The BBC Trust said it rejected Thompson's suggestion that Lord Patten and BBC Trustee Anthony Fry misled the parliamentary committee.
'We completely disagree with Mark Thompson's analysis, much of which is unsubstantiated,' the Trust said in a statement.
The BBC's director of human resources Lucy Adams, who has been fiercely criticised over the size of the payments, announced last week she would leave the BBC next year, saying it was time for a new start after five years at the corporation.
In a submission to the PAC released on Friday she said she had made a mistake in her earlier evidence to the committee and now did recall drafting a memo sent by Thompson to the Trust relating to the severance payments to Byford and Baylay.
Adams is also due to appear at the hearing on Monday.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/23/14 -- Petro One Energy Corp. (TSX VENTURE: POP)(PINKSHEETS: CUDBF)(FRANKFURT: C6K1) has granted incentive stock options exercisable to purchase up to 200,000 shares of the Company to a geological consulting company controlled by Dennis Price, P. Geo., Special Advisor to the Company's Board.
Dennis graduated with a BSc degree in geology from Queen Mary College, London University, in 1976. He worked as a field geologist in South America, Africa, USA and western Canada before joining ExxonMobil Corp. in 1981, where he held a combination of technical and business assignments in all facets of exploration, development and production in most of the key Canadian basins. Recent experience has been focused mainly in Alberta, Saskatchewan and BC where he has been managing geoscience aspects of conventional oil and gas properties, property divestment and developing new opportunities. Dennis's extensive Western Canada experience includes prospect generation in Devonian, Triassic and Mississippian carbonates, Cardium, Viking, Glauconitic, Ellerslie, Triassic, and shallow gas formations of the Alberta, Saskatchewan and BC plains and foothills. Dennis is a proven finder with 15 million barrels of oil equivalent reserves proven through drilling or participating in joint opportunities in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. He was directly involved in identifying and bringing forward a large unconventional Cardium tight oil Opportunity on ExxonMobil Canada lands at Harmattan that proved to be a material addition to the Corporation's prospective resources. Dennis's services have been instrumental over the past year, and the Company looks forward to his continuing guidance going forward.
The options are non-transferable and are exercisable at the price of $0.40 per share until June 23, 2019, subject to any earlier termination in accordance with their terms.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from ha...

Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API. Their processes run within isolated namespaces that abstract the operating environment independently of the distribution, versions, network setup, and other details of this environment. This "containerization" has often been nicknamed "the new virtualization." But containers are more than lightweight virtual machines. Beyond their small...

The move in recent years to cloud computing services and architectures has added significant pace to the application development and deployment environment. When enterprise IT can spin up large computing instances in just minutes, developers can also design and deploy in small time frames that were unimaginable a few years ago. The consequent move toward lean, agile, and fast development leads to the need for the development and operations sides to work very closely together. Thus, DevOps become...

Air traffic in and out of DCA, IAD, and BWI was suspended on
Saturday due to the winter storm sweeping through the mid-Atlantic
region. The terminals did stay open to house travelers
stranded by the storm, some on their way to Florida to see a Space
Shuttle launch or the Superbowl.

On Friday, passengers scrambled to fill earlier flights as the
National Weather Service (NWS) issued a warning: "RECORD SNOWFALL
FORECAST IN THE BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON DC REGION." NWS reports
as of 10pm Sat showed IAD at 32.4" of snow, DCA with 17.8", and BWI
with 24.8".
Snow crews worked at BWI, IAD and DCA, but the large amount of
snow still falling presents a challenge. The airports all
indicated that they did not know when or if commercial flights
would resume on Sunday.

Scientists at the Sahlgrenska Academy have shown that analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid after concussion can be used to determine the magnitude of brain injury and to follow its course. The studies show that recovery from concussion takes much longer time than previously known, and this may be of major significance for athletes of all ages in return to play considerations.
Scientists at the Sahlgrenska Academy have shown that analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid after concussion can be used to determine the magnitude of brain injury and to follow its course. The studies show that recovery from concussion takes much longer time than previously known, and this may be of major significance for athletes of all ages in return to play considerations.
Sanna Neselius is a scientist at the Sahlgrenska Academy and member of the medical commission of the Swedish Boxing Federation. Her previous studies have shown that amateur boxing causes damage to nerve cells, that can take more than two weeks to heal. This discovery led to her being offered a place in the International Olympic Committee's expert group for boxing-related head injuries.
Sanna Neselius has now defended her doctoral thesis at the Sahlgrenska Academy, in which she shows that sports-related concussion heals much slower than previously known.
Four months recovery
"It has previously been believed that concussion heals in 7-10 days, and the Swedish Boxing Federation has decided the rest period to be of one month after a concussion, in order to be on the safe side. But our studies show that a concussion, such as may be experienced after being knocked out, can take more than four months to heal," says Sanna Neselius, who is herself a former boxer.
Further, the results show that repetitive head trauma in boxing, damages nerve cells in the brain, even though the boxer may not show any concussion symptoms.
Prevent resuming too early
Concussion is one of the most common sports-related injuries, and more athletes experience it every year. In recent years, focus has been directed on the effects of repeated concussions, in which athletes in such sports as ice hockey may be affected by long-term effects.
The cerebrospinal fluid samples analysed by Sanna Neselius and her colleagues can be followed until normalization and thereby be a valuable tool to prevent athletes resuming sport too early.
"The assessment today is often based on physical symptoms, neuropsychological tests, and the neurological examination of the athlete. Our studies show that these tests are not sensitive enough, nor can we rely on the athletes self-reported lack of symptoms. Concussion symptoms usually pass after a few days, but the neurological damage may still be present," says Sanna Neselius.
Safe rehabilitation
She continues: "The first sample is recommended to be taken 10-14 days after the concussion. This allows us to see the magnitude of the injury, and gives an idea of how long the healing process will be. I hope that brain injury markers in the cerebrospinal fluid, and hopefully also later in blood, can be used at all levels in all sports. By this we can use individual measurements to plan and guarantee safe rehabilitation."
Sanna Neselius points out that the brains of children and adolescents are more sensitive and require longer time to heal.
The thesis Diagnosis and monitoring of sport-related concussion – a study in amateur boxers was defended at a disputation on May 16.

Roberto Novoa Rumors
Orioles Claim Novoa; More Ex-Cubs To Come?
As far as historians can tell, the Ex-Cub Factor curse was broken in 2001 by the Diamondbacks. If you're not familiar, the Ex-Cub Factor says that a team with three or more ex-Cubs cannot win the World Series. Regardless, the Indians are in decent shape as they have only two (Joe Borowski and Kenny Lofton). I think the Rockies only have LaTroy Hawkins.
The Chicago Tribune's Paul Sullivan recently noted that the Orioles are stocking up on ex-Cubs, the latest being nondescript reliever Roberto Novoa. Former Cubs president and GM Andy MacPhail has already added three to the four that were previously on the roster.
I mention all of this because of Sullivan's last line, that MacPhail might take a look at free agents Kerry Wood and Michael Barrett this winter. Wood I can see – he fits in with most teams at the right price as an intriguing yet high-risk swingman. As for Barrett – perhaps the O's would pursue him on a bargain one-year deal if they manage to trade Ramon Hernandez. Hernandez makes $7.5MM in '08, $8MM in '09, and probably a $1MM buyout in '10. So, $16.5MM over the next two years. If the O's pay $5MM or so, teams like the Mets, Yankees, Rockies, or Marlins could be interested.

49 Writers in Southeast Alaska
As part of our goal to expand 49 Writers programming to other parts of the state, we are working with local partners to develop a 2014 schedule of creative writing classes and author events in Juneau and other communities. This year the board of directors added three new members from Juneau—Joan Pardes, Katrina Pearson, and Amy O'Neill Houck—who bring new energy and a broad range of expertise to the organization.
Almost a quarter of our members live in Southeast Alaska, and can be found in Auke Bay, Douglas, Gustavus, Haines, Metlakatla, and Sitka. Our Juneau membership has grown five-fold over the last year, thanks to strong interest from writers in the community. Many of those new members attended our 2014 Resolve to Write gathering, at which we shared our writing aspirations and goals for the coming year. That meeting led to the formation of our regular Juneau writers group, where members meet to share their progress and read from their work.
If you would like to help us bring more authors to Juneau, do consider becoming a member. Your contribution makes it possible for to grow and extend our mission to Southeast Alaska: supporting the artistic development of writers, fostering a writing community, and building an audience for literature.Benefits of becoming a member—in addition to knowing you're supporting our vision of a vibrant community of Alaskan writers coming together to inspire, create, and share—include a tuition discount on creative writing classes, the opportunity to participate in the new writers group for 49 Writers members, and Invitations to members-only events with visiting writers.
Click here for more information about the various options available and to join.
Writers Group
Thursday, December 4, 7-9pm The writers group for members of 49 Writers meets every other month on the first Thursday. Email 49writers (at) gmail (dot) com for details.
Friday Dec. 12, 7pm: Jimmy Riordan presents Le Roman du Lievre (The Romance of the Rabbit). We're excited to announce another unique opportunity for the Juneau 49 Writers community in the form of a potluck event hosted by Sarah Isto (1718 Willow Avenue). In 2008 Jimmy Riordan translated the French poet Francis Jammes' turn of the century novel Le Roman du Lièvre. At the time Jimmy did not know French. This summer, after 5 years working around the text through a series of collaborative projects he has printed his translation. On Friday 12/12 Riordan will be reading from Le Roman du Lièvre. He will discuss the letterpress printing of the book and recount his history with the text, which he is currently exploring through the creation of a multi-volume graphic novel/comic. The reading will conclude with ceremonial melting of lead monotype used in the printing process. Email 49writersjuneau (at) gmail (dot) com for details.
See the links below for an introduction to Le Roman du Lievre in under 3 minutes!
Riordan is an Alaskan born multidisciplinary artist and educator. Though technically trained in book-arts and printmaking, his practice is not bound by any specific media. Dealing in both images and experience, his work often involves collaboration, asking the audience and other artists for their participation. Community and location play a large role in Riordan's choice of form and development of content.
He is the founder of Rabbit Rabbit Press, an imprint that publishes artist books and comics, co-director of the Girdwood Summer Arts Camp and the editor of SOWSEAR, a quarterly collection of Alaskan made comics. Riordan regularly teaches for the University of Alaska and participate in artist residencies in schools throughout the state. His artwork has been shown internationally and the bookwork comprising the Le Roman du Lièvre project can be found in the library collections of the New York MOMA and the Tate Britain.
Creative Writing Classes
We hope to schedule additional classes in Juneau as the opportunity arises. If you would like to go on our Juneau/Southeast Alaska mailing list, please email 49writers (at) gmail (dot) com.
COMPOSITION BY JUXTAPOSITION with Caroline Goodwin
Monday, December 1, 6-9pm
Juneau Arts & Humanities Council, 350 Whittier Street, Juneau
$45 for members of 49 Writers
$50 for non-members
In a poem, it is often the leaps between juxtaposed images that creates meaning and energy, inviting the reader into the space made on the page. The Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges asserted that there is no need to build a labyrinth when the entire universe is one. Dylan Thomas wrote that the poem should work from words, from the substance of words and the rhythm of substantial words set together, not towards words. In this hands-on workshop, writers will explore a way of thinking and viewing language that will illuminate these ideas and feed creativity well into the future.
Caroline Goodwin was born and raised in Anchorage and moved to California from Sitka in 1999 to attend Stanford as a Wallace Stegner fellow in poetry. Her first collection, Trapline, was published by JackLeg Press (Chicago) in May 2013. She is currently serving as the first Poet Laureate of San Mateo County, CA and teaching in the MFA Writing program at California College of the Arts in San Francisco.
AUTOGEOGRAPHY: MAPPING OUR LIVES with Sherry Simpson

YOUR NOVEL NOW: THE FIRST SIX WEEKS with Andromeda Romano-Lax
October 11-November 22
This class will be taught online
For fiction writers at all levels of experience
$295 members/$350 non-members
This is your chance to jumpstart or re-start a novel using a more organic, generative process that emphasizes quick-drafting. In this online class, we will use daily writing guidance and a weekly discussion forum for considering a few craft topics like planning, premise, the protagonist's dilemma, and basic novel structure in greater depth. Our main emphasis, though, will be achieving liftoff. Your goal will be to write the first 10,000 words (or more) of a rough draft and to learn more about your own best writing processes. Some feedback will be offered but this is not a critique-centered, workshop- or revision-focused class. To get the most out of your investment, plan to dedicate an average minimum of 1 hour per day (or 5-7 hours per week) to drafting new work. And plan to have fun! We will be encouraging each other to write fearlessly. Required text: The 90-Day Novel by Alan Watt.
FICTION INTENSIVE: FANTASTIC FIRST IMPRESSIONS with Ali McCart
Monday, March 3, 6-9pm
Juneau Arts & Humanities Council
$45 members/$50 non-members
Whether you're sending out query letters or pitching agents at a conference, first impressions of your fiction matter. It's not just about making sure your commas are in the right places.

Ali McCart leads this three-hour intensive on making the most of your novel's first impression. We'll cover the tangible elements of industry standards for submitting work as well as the ephemeral elements that make the difference between an agent's request for samples or a template rejection letter. To make the most of our time together, please bring a notebook or laptop to write on as well as your synopsis and first chapter. Rough drafts are okay!
Ali McCart is the founder and executive director of Indigo, an Oregon-based firm of editors, designers, and publication consultants. For the past ten years, she's be reviewing proposals and query letters, judging writing contests, and editing manuscripts for publishers and independent authors across the country. She writes and edits from her home in Metlakatla, Alaska, occasionally taking breaks to hike, photograph, and fish.
