Inspirational educator pushed boundaries for women, children
Relevant offers
Marie Bell: b Wellington, February 19, 1922; m (1) Paetahi (Pat) Metekingi (dec), 1s; (2) Jim Bell, 1d, 1s; d Wellington, November 3, 2012, aged 90.
When Marie Bell's father enrolled her at secondary school, he was asked what he wanted for his daughter. He replied: "To be a good woman."
Overhearing him report this to her mother, Marie always remembered her retort: "Is that all?"
Marie far exceeded both parents' expectations.
In a lifelong career in the education sector, she pioneered the free-play method of pre-schooling in New Zealand, co-founded Wellington's ground- breaking progressive school Matauranga and gained a university doctorate in her 80s.
The eldest of three children, Marie, born Marie Heron, credited her mother for her feminism and her father for her academic interests.
At Newtown and Lyall Bay schools, the talented and hard-working pupil had inspiring teachers who introduced her to verse speaking, acting, and debating.
She was dux at Wellington East Girls' College, despite hating the constant "puritanical pressure" to succeed at exams. She was sure exam stress was the cause of her getting Bell's Palsy in her final year.
Convinced she would fail at blackboard drawing, Marie enrolled somewhat reluctantly at Wellington Teachers' College in 1938. However, she found it a "wonderful place" full of radical and progressive ideas.
She joined the Maori club, where she met Pat Metekingi. They married in 1943.
The couple planned to run a two-teacher country school, but World War II intervened; Pat joined the Maori Battalion and was killed a few months later at Faenza in Northern Italy.
Marie's father had also just died. Widowed at 22 with a baby, John, she found herself supporting her recently widowed mother and two younger siblings.
Marie had been offered a sole charge school, Matahiwi, on the Whanganui River in her husband's family territory, but an application for the post from a male teacher meant she had to move aside.
She was offered a home by the Metekingis, but decided to "get on with it and have a career". She returned to Wellington and gained a degree.
Colin Bailey, professor of education at Victoria University, advised a diploma in education, and Marie focused on early childhood, writing a mini-thesis on the type of preschool that might be good for Maori children.
In 1949, accompanied by her son and mother, she used her war pension to sail for London University and further study.
While there, she worked as a volunteer at a university nursery school in Chelsea that ran a progressive free-play programme which fitted her own ideas.
Free play is the belief that children's activity is a means of learning, and the activities that interest them should guide teachers' work.
While in London, the Bailey Report was published in New Zealand. It recommended the government take over the operation of kindergartens.
Professor Bailey and the newly- appointed preschool officer, Moira Gallagher, visited Marie in London, where a plan was agreed for her to bring play-based methods to New Zealand.
She returned home and was appointed director of the newly built Pahiatua kindergarten, and the free-play method was introduced.
MARIE commuted weekly to Pahiatua, where she cycled around on a borrowed bike, introduced dramatic play and told mothers to come and help - which they did. But weekly separations from her son became too difficult.
After two terms, she returned to Wellington to become supervisor of junior classes at Mt Cook School, the free-play approaches travelling with her.
Marie's work was soon noticed and she was encouraged to apply for a lecturer's position at Wellington Teachers' College.
Between 1953 and 1958, she ensured free-play methods became widely disseminated. Her students remember her as an inspirational educator who encouraged them to not seek to conform and not be daunted by resistance.
In 1954, Marie married Jim Bell and, in 1958, pregnant with their daughter Kathrine, resigned from teachers' college.
But she was soon lecturing on the Playcentre Supervisors' Course and continued this for 20 years.
She also became involved with Parents Centre. Through that and part-time teaching at the Kindergarten College, she spread the ideas that had influenced her in London.
While teaching Playcentre supervisors, Marie met the parents with whom she founded the alternative progressive school Matauranga, in Wellington's Aro Valley.
She was convinced the quality of children's relationships with their parents and teachers were important for learning.
The school opened in 1963 with 11 pupils. Marie was persuaded to be the teacher after the other parents agreed to look after the young boy, Simon, she and Jim had just adopted.
The school's basic principles were no corporal punishment, peaceful problem solving, parent involvement and contribution in daily learning, children working at their own pace with respect for each other and the value of learning through play and experiences of the world outside school.
Marie worked there till 1971, when the first cohort had gone through.
She believed strongly that with access to knowledge and support ordinary people can make a difference. She was committed to the democratic process and worked tirelessly to ensure women's and children's voices were not overlooked or dismissed.
While working at the Education Department between 1974 and 1982, she observed that women were often silenced at meetings. She developed an assertiveness training workshop and was frequently invited to offer this at women's conferences.
She was on the Wellington High School board in the 1970s, when it advocated doing away with uniforms. She also pushed boundaries by supporting the appointment to a senior school position of a woman in an openly de facto relationship.
Marie was an active member of the Labour Party and her work in her home electorate of Rongotai was relentless. At various times, she held almost every office at branch and electorate level.
She was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2006. She was 80 when she started her PhD, an oral history of Parents Centre. She was the second-oldest person to get a doctorate from Victoria.

What happened
President Obama declared in his first prime-time news conference that passing an economic stimulus that creates jobs is more important than fostering the bipartisanship he promised. Obama rejected Republican critics who warn the stimulus will boost the deficit, saying inaction could "turn a crisis into a catastrophe." (The Washington Post)
What the commentators said
The debut of "The Barack Obama Show" was not bad, said Mike Madden in Salon. A "calm, confident Obama" got to make his case to the nation for an hour, and the message he hammered home can only help him: "He didn't cause the mess we're in, but he intends to solve it."
Obama gets an "F" for honesty, said Ed Morrissey in Hot Air, for saying Republicans want to "do nothing" while the economy tanks. The truth is that GOP leaders in Congress offered two alternative stimulus packages. "The lie is particularly egregious" given that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi locked Republicans out of drafting the bill.
The problem wasn't what Obama said, said Walter Shapiro in The New Republic, but how he said it. Obama's long-winded, canned responses made the reporters asking the questions look like "potted palms." No matter—a president "blessed with the good will of almost all Americans to the left of Sean Hannity" can afford to experiment with new ways to deliver his message. Next time, though, he should be brief.
Obama's opening remarks were indeed a disappointing start, said Michael Lind in The Daily Beast. But in his answers to questions, "he gave concise and clear explanations, in terms that laymen can understand," to complex financial issues. What a relief, after the previous president, to see that "the president for a change was the smartest person in the room."

The above Guitar Hero World Tour (the official GHIV title) video shows off the new drum set through testimonial from a few rockers – namely, Red Hot Chili Pepper's Chad Smith, Blink 182's Travis Barker and The Police's Stewart Copeland, all of whom are featured prominently (especially Copeland) on Rock Band and a pretty good sign they'll be on World Tour, too.
One interesting detail gleaned from the video is that the drum kit is sensitive to velocity, meaning it can register how hard or soft you hit the pads. We're not shown any gameplay footage so we're not 100% sure how that'll translate to the virtual drumming. All we know is that we can't tell our friends this detail. It's taken us months to teach them not to bang on the set loud enough to wake neighbors six miles away.

New Paintings
December 4 – January 4, 2015
Andrew Stark's work currently evolves in directions informed by experimentation and exploration. The artist uses gestural abstraction as the foundation for the initial compositional structure and combines this approach with a focus on intuitive mark-making to realize visual interpretations of memory, identity, place and the imagination. Andrew establishes an action-oriented dialogue with the paint. Through this activity, he attempts to project an emotional presence through the use of movement, color, texture and line. The resulting actions and contemplations of this dialogue establish a guide for exploring iconographic possibilities.

Saracens have received a welcome boost with the news that Owen Farrell has been passed fit to play in the Premiership final on Saturday.
Farrell suffered a minor ankle sprain during last weekend's Heineken Cup final defeat and had been a doubtful starter but the club has confirmed he will start the game.
"Owen's fine and fine to play on Saturday,' said director of rugby Mark McCall. "He clearly suffered a small sprained ankle, a slight ankle sprain, but Owen's fine and it's not a worry."
The prospects for Mako Vuniploa playing are less encouraging. He underwent a scan on Monday and his brother, Billy, said: I'm not too sure what the results are but he's not in the best of moods."

Small-biz advocacy group pushes health insurance co-op idea in Springfield
As policymakers and business leaders brainstorm ideas for bringing down health care costs, the concept of a health insurance cooperative is gaining more attention. The federal health care law provides competitive grants for groups to start a so-called Consumer Oriented and Operated Plan, which would act as a corporate entity overseen by a board of directors. The goal for the federal CO-OP is to provide greater choice and higher-quality care at a reduced cost. At least one organization in Illinois, the Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council (MCHC)—an advocacy group for hospitals and other area health providers including Northwestern Medical Center, the Advocate Health Care Network, the University of Chicago Medical Center, Rush University Medical Center and more—has applied for a federal CO-OP grant.

Jessy Nelson - Perseverance
March 26, 2014
Now approaching his third run through the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, Jessy Nelson continues to make progress in the professional ranks with Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil/Honda. He showed an uncanny ability to start near the front of the pack when he first joined the circuit in 2012, but the teenager from central California has experienced a number of setbacks that have kept him from attaining the same success that he had as an amateur. With years of experience to his credit and the support of a top-tier 250 team, many peg Nelson to be a contender when the summer kicks off at Glen Helen Raceway.

Ski the Jester without looking like a fool.
Click into the Marker Jester Ski Binding, and drop onto that steeper-than-snot face without worrying about pre-releasing. As its go-to Royal Family binding, Marker designed the Jester for performance-minded freeskiers. An Inter Pivot Heel offers superior holding power in all types of freeskiing, focusing energy in the direction of the boot sole and delivering a smooth transition of power from boot to ski.
Marker gave the Jester its Triple Pivot Light Toe which features a horizontally oriented spring and a compact design, maximizing power while cutting down on added weight. Magnesium parts further cut down on weight while maintaining high strength while a stainless steel AFD Gliding Plate allows for safety and precision unhindered by snow, ice, or dirt. The Jester handles your biggest cliff hucks and tabletops, and its wide but short design takes up less of your ski's length, which means your ski flexes naturally as you spin off the lip of the pipe or rip a huge power turn.
- 6-16 DIN range
- Magnesium parts
- Stainless steel AFD gliding plate
- Triple Pivot Elite toe
- Inter Pivot heel

Bad luck... maybe?
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
A few hours into my FIRST day riding with the 2014 jesters and my brakes bent. All I did was turn and started skiing switch... a fairly common gesture that these bindings should have held up on. I'm extremely disappointed. Not sure how to go about getting them fixed or if I should just do it myself but I wouldn't suggest these to anybody because this shouldn't be a common issue with bindings this expensive. If they can't hold up with simple ground maneuvers I can't imagine how they'd do if you take them to the park...
is the drill pattern on the Marker Jester the same as the Tour F12? Or would I need to redrill? Thanks Grant
Laura Feasler
Hey Grant,
The hole pattern is not exactly the same. The Squire/Schizo/Griffon/Jester use one jig and the Tour/Duke/Baron require a different one. You might be able to re-use a few holes depending on mount position and boot size... Also would depend on model year (EPF or previous year). I swapped Griffons for Barons and ended up re-drilling a few holes slightly forward of boot center. Hit me up if you have any more questions! firstname.lastname@example.com
Laura Feasler
Jester 1415
Mark Beech
I have some Griffons on my current skis and have been very pleased with them. I'm about to get new skis and wondering if i should upgrade to Jesters. aside from a little more strength, higher DIN range and looking cool in the lift line is there any advantage for going for the Jesters?
My current DIN is set to 8 so are the Griffons better anyway?
Laura Feasler
The Jester really is just a beefed up version of the Griffon. That higher DIN range is beneficial for skiing park, hucking cliffs, etc... basically situations that put more stress on your bindings. Those kinds of skiers would utilize that higher DIN range so their skis don't release as easily.
You are kind of high middle on those Griffons at an 8, so if you're releasing easier than you think you should be, you've still got some room to crank those down before you would need to bump up to a higher DIN range. Based on just this little information, I'd say stick with the Griffon! It's an awesome, solid all-mountain binding that sounds like it's working for you!
Mark Beech
Thanks for the input. I'm also interested in the Look Pivot, are there any pros and cons between the 2 brands or is it just personal preference?

Liverpool defender Andre Wisdom signs new contract
The 19-year-old made his debut this season
Wednesday 09 January 2013
Liverpool defender Andre Wisdom has signed a new long-term contract after establishing himself in the first-team squad this season.
The 19-year-old made his debut for Brendan Rodgers' side in the Europa League tie against Young Boys in Switzerland.
Injury to left-back Jose Enrique meant Glen Johnson switched to the opposite flank allowing Wisdom an extended run in the side and he has made 14 appearances this campaign.
"It was an easy decision to make - as soon as they offered it to me, I grabbed the opportunity with both hands because it's a great club and I just want to continue to play for Liverpool," Wisdom said.
"I am happy with the progress I've made so far and hopefully I can progress more in the second half of the season and continue to keep playing.
"There's still so much hard work ahead. There is big competition within the team and everyone wants to play football.
"I just hope I can keep progressing and continue in the way I have been."
Wisdom joins fellow former reserves team-mates Raheem Sterling and Suso in extending his stay at the club, with more senior players Luis Suarez, Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger, Brad Jones and Jonjo Shelvey all agreeing new deals since the summer.
Managing director Ian Ayre said Wisdom's new contract was indicative of the direction the club was moving.
"It's another great example of a player committing to the club and what we're trying to achieve under Brendan," he told liverpoolfc.com.
"He's a great young player, shown a fantastic improvement, broken into the first team and made a huge contribution and, rightly so, we've provided him with a new contract and a long-term one.
"Getting talent like him, Raheem and others to commit at this point is absolutely essential to the future.
"The manager, the owners and everyone have said the key is to build something for the long term and young players are a catalyst to that. None more so than Andre.
"He's come on leaps and bounds in the last year or so and that's because of all the hard work he's put in and the manager giving him a chance, so it's absolutely essential players like that commit themselves to the club."
Tennis star is set to marry his long-term girlfriend, Kim Sears

Sleeping Dogs 'Year of the Snake' DLC cops out today
Sleeping Dogs' Year of the Snake DLC is out today, complete with a brand new trailer to replace the one that leaked back in January. Year of the Snake throws protagonist Wei Shen onto the Hong Kong police force to dismantle the Cult of the Snake. With police batons. And guns. And physics-defying leaps between moving vehicles, as the trailer demonstrates.
Year of the Snake includes three new outfits, two new weapons and two new abilities. Also out today is the Law Enforcer pack, which features police attire, vehicles and weapons. The Wheels of Fury DLC pack is also due out in Q1, but there's no sign of it launching today.

Experts mostly optimistic about future development, though outlying projects could lag

The Valley's retail real estate market probably couldn't have been better in 2007, with 11.6 million square feet of new space completed.
That's according to CB Richard Ellis' Phoenix office, which also reports that absorption of retail space was the largest ever recorded with re�tailers occupying 9.4 million square feet of net new space.
Vacancies, although creeping upward over the past several months, remain at 6.15 percent -- a "healthy level," according to CBRE.
"Vacancies have risen a little bit, but vacancies were so low 18 months ago," said Rick Murphy, CBRE senior vice president. "It's still a very healthy range."
Brian Kocour, vice president of Grubb & Ellis in Phoenix, expects retail to remain healthy this year, but only in certain sectors. Large power centers planned on the Valley's outskirts likely will be pushed back.
"They won't necessarily not get built, but they will be delayed," Kocour said.
Murphy said tenants will push back opening dates but won't cancel deals.
Kocour expects to see retail pick up momentum at infill sites within the city's core.
"In essence, we'll see retail in other areas, though we will see a slowdown in the next 18 months," Kocour said.
Enough activity?
Matt Bear, a partner in Venture Development Group, which acquires shopping centers in six Western states, isn't worried about the retail sector.
"I don't see an exodus of retail," he said. "If you're talking new projects in the hinterlands, yeah, they may have trouble finding tenants, but the retail will fill in. The majority of retail isn't fashion. It's essential services."

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/07/12 -- Unity Technologies, provider of the Unity multi-platform engine and development tools, and DeNA Co., Ltd. announced a collaboration to boost Unity's technology and create a game that pushes the bounds of mobile graphics capabilities. The two companies are working together to implement cutting edge mobile technology in DeNA's upcoming first-person shooter game The Drowning.
Unity Technologies engineers worked closely with developers at DeNA's Scattered Entertainment studio in Stockholm, Sweden for hands on technical support during the production of The Drowning to allow DeNA to leverage the technology in new ways and use those findings to benefit the nearly 1.5 million developers that constitute the worldwide Unity community.
"This kind of technical cooperation is very important for us," said David Helgason, CEO, Unity Technologies. "It's easy to sit in a lab and dream up awesome technological improvements, but by pushing the envelope with great game studios we can rapidly improve Unity."
The Drowning's development team is made up of industry veterans who have worked on best-selling console games such as Halo, Battlefield 3, Crysis 2, Far Cry 2, and Mirror's Edge. The team will redefine the first-person shooter genre for touch devices by eliminating the need for virtual sticks with intuitive touch controls.
"Working with Unity during the development of The Drowning has given us the technological tools to craft an incredibly beautiful game that is sure to be the most visually advanced mobile game on the market," said Ben Cousins, general manager of Scattered Entertainment and head of DeNA's European studio operations.
The DeNA team has been one of the driving forces behind testing and improvement of the Mecanim animation system, released with Unity 4 in November. Unity Technologies isn't a stranger to close technical relationships with developers having worked with Luma Arcade on the newly released mobile hack and slash action title Bladeslinger and Madfinger Games on the hit mobile FPS Shadowgun. Both titles have resulted directly in the enhancement and perfection of technologies in Unity such as light probes and mobile shadows.
To pre-register for The Drowning and be alerted via email as soon as the game is available for free download, please visit: www.thedrowning.com

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Han Tae Sang (Song Seung-heon) was once a smart young man full of potential, but his dreams came to a halt when he was forced to work as a gangster for the same loan shark that destroyed his family. Years later, what is supposed to be a simple extortion job turns into a chance meeting with Seo Mi Do (Sin Se-kyeong), the poor, but prodigious young daughter of a modest bookstore owner.
