November 24, 2014
JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israeli archaeologists say they have uncovered new sections of Jerusalem's ancient walls, continuing a project started more than a century ago.
Yehiel Zelinger of the Israel Antiquities Authority said Wednesday that he located two wall segments just south of the Old City. The project continues work begun in the 1890s by American archaeologist Frederick Bliss and his British assistant, Archibald Dickie. The two tunneled along the length of the ancient wall and marked its route.
The modern diggers found beer bottles, a lamp and a shoe that Bliss and Dickie's team left behind.
They also found part of a wall built by the Hasmonean dynasty 2,100 years ago, and another section built by Byzantine rulers five centuries later.
The find will help scholars accurately outline the borders of historical Jerusalem.

It's no surprise that things like candles, lights, and other holiday decorations are to blame for several fires during the holiday season.
While Christmas tree fires are not common, when they do occur, they are more likely to be serious. That's why fire departments around the country are sending a message.
Clay Fire Territory teamed up with other fire departments across the country in the "Keep the Wreath Red" program. The program will run through New Year's Day.
Clay Fire placed a wreath with red bulbs in front of the Fire Station 21 on Cleveland Road. The goal of the "Keep the Wreath Red" program is to increase fire safety awareness and keep all of the bulbs on the wreath red. In the event of a fire, firefighters will replace one of the red bulbs with a white one.
The following are some important safety tips that are applicable year-round, but are especially important during the holiday season.
• Don't leave any food cooking unattended
• Keep the stove top clear of any flammable items
• Have a fire extinguisher close by, never use water on a grease fire

Jim Yeager, speech and communications instructor: A.A., Rock Valley College; B.G.S., Northern Illinois University; M.A., Northern Illinois University.
Jim Yeager became the newest speech communication instructor and Director of Forensics at HCC when he joined the faculty in 2005. Jims teaching style can be described as interactive. His personal philosophy is that since communicating effectively is a skill, students must practice it. Jim offers his students an opportunity to learn material through instruction then use material though participation. In Jims classroom the students have as much to offer to the subject matter as the textbook does. Students will walk away from Jims class with better developed communication skills and a better understanding of the messages that surround them, but also with a new appreciation for the different ways communication concepts relate to their lives. As a pop culture buff, Jim enjoys bringing in media such as movies or music to enhance students understanding that communication concepts surround them.

The Arts and Crafts cupola over the stage was designed by Gerald Moira and executed by Frank Lynn Jenkins. It was restored during the Hall's refurbishment in 1991-2.
The painting symbolises the striving of humanity after the elusiveness of music in its great abstraction.
The Soul of Music
The central figure is the Soul of Music. He is gazing up at the Genius of Harmony - a ball of eternal fire whose rays are reflected across the world.
A tangled network of thorns separates this portion of the picture from the four other figures - representing the separation of man from the perfect spiritual conception of music because he is ensnared by materialism.
Left Hand-Side of the Cupola
Here a musician plays in a trance, seeking inspiration from beyond. Also there is Love, who has roses in her hand. She represents the idea that a musician's incentive is love for their art, and their reward is beauty.
Right Hand-Side of the Cuploa
On this side is Psyche - representing the human soul - inspiring a seated composer, transcribing music on a scroll.
The background of the painting is a deep blue sky with clouds of Divine Mystery floating overhead.

text: Print article Send a Tip Zimbabwe's Elite Irked by Facebook Leaker 'Baba Jukwa' by Joel B. Pollak 11 Jun 2013 As Americans reel from Edward Snowden's NSA revelations, Zimbabwe is currently embroiled in its own scandal over leaks: 'Baba Jukwa,' a member of the country's insular elite, has been spilling the beans on Facebook about President Robert Mugabe's election-rigging and the corruption of the ruling Zanu-PF party, according to South African news website News24. If only more than 1 in 6 Zimbabweans had Internet access, it might make more of a difference. The nation's economy has been destroyed by the 89-year-old Mugabe over the past decade-and-a-half as he has clung to power, deploying violence against the political opposition.

Preschool | Nonsectarian | 51 students |

"We are best known for academic program-caring staff."
This statement has been provided by the principal or a school official at The Goddard School. See this school's official school profile »
The Goddard School, located in Marlboro Township, New Jersey, is a preschool that enrolls 51 students.
More than 25 school community members have shared their opinion about this preschool, giving it an average Community Rating of 4 out of 5 stars.

The best thing this school does in pre-school and pre-k is the weekly "show and share" that corresponds to the letter of the week. Should also add show and share with math somehow too. I believe the only reason my child has the confidence to speak in front of class or school is because of this practice every week in the early years. The down side seems to be the separation between full and part-time kids and 2 hour naps that some kids just fidget and stare at the walls through.
This Goddard is one of the CLEANEST Goddard s in the area. My Husband has to go SOUTH to drop him off to go back NORTH with over an hour commute. BUT we would not have it any other way. This school is worth the driving inconvenience & rates which are slightly higher than some of the other Goddard s. But, please keep in mind YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. After researching &visiting some of the other Goddard s and other schools in the Route 9 North area & on the way to our jobs, we were NOT at all happy with what we saw. The schools were not tidy, organized or by my standards clean. When you walk in the doors at thsi school, you can smell the freshness. I love this school & everything about their program. It s very fun for your child & they are learning through playing. I want to be a child again & go to this school! This school has a wide assortment of educational toys, games & supplies. They have the best selection & variety of school based learning activities & lesson plans. It s not your average daycare facility. It s a real school no matter what classroom your child is in. That is one of the best things I love about the Goddard. NO no expense is spared on your child s education.
The Goddard Marlboro II provides every resource possible to help my 2 year old son develop. Since Jack has been attending the Goddard School Marlboro II he has excelled far beyond his friends that are not enrolled in an educational daycare environment. Jack has not only advanced in his talking and brain development, but he has also learned to socialize with other children his age, which is so important. When we first enrolled Jack we were nervous about leaving our son with total strangers, within a few hours of visiting the Goddard Marlboro II our minds were at ease. Owner and operator, Carol is so passionate about her school and children, that she literally spares no expense when it comes to the latest technology to further the development of our children. The teachers that work at the Goddard Marlboro II are simply the best. They all have a combination of compassion, patience and a love for what they do. My wife and I are so happy in are decision to enroll Jack in the Goddard Marlboro II. We know that the preparation he is receiving now will only benefit him when he starts elementary school and the rest of his life.
We absolutely love this school and have had a great experience for nearly 2 years now. I have trusted this team with my child since infancy. The teachers are loving and warm, and the school is run incredibly well. Communication is excellent and the staff is very attentive. I feel they are very proactive and diligent about making sure everything is going well and that every child's needs are being met. There are also a lot of great extra activities like soccer, dance, etc. that the kids enjoy, special things done to acknowledge the parents, and events that make the school feel like a family. We talk this school up to everyone we meet. It is the best!
This is a pretty good school. We never had a problem. Our only comment would be the kindergarten class. It was good academically. Although, if you are looking for a warm, compassionate kindergarten teacher, this is not the school is for you. The head teacher is quite ridged and aloof around her students.
I feel compelled to write a review because I have two children in this school (Toddler and PreK) and have referred 3 families to this school. All of which are very satisfied with this school. I must tell you I have done extensive research prior to enrolling my 1 year old at the time and visited many other daycares. This was the only one that I felt all the children attending were happy, teachers were very loving and caring, and the owner went out of her way to really make sure her school was the BEST as far as cleanliness, safety and educationally. If any parent is upset about their toddler getting bit or scratched, then you are not ready to send your child to daycare. This is normal behavior for the kids in this stage but the great thing is that the teachers do their best to address any of these issues and work with the parents. Ask a parent who has had their first child bit all the time and the second who constantly bites other children. Bottom line, I chose this school because of how great it is! They are an award-winning school for a reason! I was recommended to this daycare by a family friend of ours who is a pediatrician/GP who sent all 3 of her kids to this school.
I wrote the review on 6/4/12 (not 3/18/12 as the school staff incorrectly identified) and would like to clarify that my issues are not related to the quality of their teachers. As the owner stated, I have a child in pre-K that started reading a few months after joining the class and has learned quite a bit in Pre-K. She had a hard time adapting (kids constantly calling her names) and the teacher worked with me to ease her transition. Within 2 weeks all the problems were solved and those kids are now her best friends. She has also provided guidance to stimulate my child s learning at home. No doubts that she is well prepared and knows what she is doing. The Infant room teachers are all very nice. Although I ve been experiencing issues with my toddler geting bites and scratches in the classroom, I ve also witnessed that teachers review the numbers and letters in English and Spanish daily. She is already counting up to 4 in both languages. She also loves books and they constantly read to her. There is no doubt that they do a good job hiring teachers, I just wished that my concerns as a parent were better addressed or at least problems were better communicated.
I have two children who attend the Goddard School of Morganville. We have been a part of this school for five years, and I have nothing but praise for the teachers, owner, and educational program. I have found the teachers to be dedicated, caring, and nuturing. My children have thrived at Goddard. They are happy, well cared for, and love to learn. I have had excellent communication with the owner, directors, and assistant directors, who are always courteous, attentive, and very knowledgeable about all of the children. If I ever have a question or concern, it is immediately answered or addressed. The director and owner are easily accessible and supportive. It has been my experience that parent communication and feedback are strongly encouraged. The owner holds her staff to high standards. She ensures a safe and very clean facility with the most up to date toys and learning materials. I have always felt confident in the care my children have received in each of the classrooms and highly recommend this school overall.
I find it a shame that some parents feel the need to post their concerns with a school on the internet instead of first seeking out the teacher, director or owner to address these issues. As a parent of a child that attends the Goddard School in Morganville I have no reservations about leaving my child in the their care each day. I know my child is treated with love, patience and understanding. I have never witnessed a teacher treat a child with disrespect and I have spent time in my child's classroom with her as well as having observed the classroom from a monitor that is set up in the office with direct access to each classroom. I have always felt that the management team at the school is very open, honest and friendly and I would never hesitate to speak to them if I had any issues regarding my child. I have also found that the teachers are very good at communicating with the parents during drop off and pick up times. Being an educator myself I know how hard the teachers and staff worked to receive their NAEYC accreditation and it only proves more so that the Goddard School abides by the highest standards.
I am the owner of this school and I am on-site daily and feel it necessary to respond and refute the 6/6/12 review. Parents are asked to come to me at all times if they have any concerns. I do surveys as well. I, along with my director observe the classes on an hourly basis. This parent has been in the school for only 9 months, not 2 years, and her daughter has already learned to read in our PreK classroom. We are licensed for a certain amount of children and we STRICTLY ADHERE to that. The ration is strictly adhered to. In fact, the ratio is 1:12 and we follow 1:9 in that classroom. As far as PTO participation is concerned, when she enrolled we provided her with the PTO website to sign up so she could participate, but she never did. Since then, due to lack of participation, we have no PTO. I have been here 7 years, my passion in life is children as I have none of my own and this school is solely about the best care and learning for each and every child.

What Your Hair Says About Your Health
Everything from stress to nutrition to hormones can impact whether your strands are thick and shiny or thin and brittle. Check out these telltale clues that your tresses can give you about your overall well-being.
By Holly Corbett
The Fix: Dry, flaky scalp
Try adding more fish to your dish — such as salmon and sardines — to up your levels of omega-3 fatty acids. This healthy fat not only helps keep skin and hair supple, but researchers have shown that people with the highest blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids are least likely to report symptoms of depression, and report having an overall more positive outlook. Also try an exfoliating scalp mask to slough off dead cells and moisturize skin. "Think about your scalp the way you think about your skin because it's the base for your hair follicles to grow out. You want to moisturize it and soothe inflammation," says Phillips.

My wife and I were on our 10th anniversary, and we stayed at the crown plaza for four nights. we got good advise and helpful hints on where to go for food and entertainment from Gena who works in the restaurant and reginal who was the shuttle driver. we spent a little more to stay at a nice enough hotel to offer a shuttle service and that alone was a extra bonus to be able to relax and know that all you have to do is call and you can be picked up after going out for the evening. Stayed May 2014, traveled as a couple

The new IMF prescription of fiscal austerity and no capital controls makes little economic sense.
Regions / Argentina
Sparked by the government's latest economic policies, which restricted the amount of money people could withdraw from their bank accounts, political demonstrations and the looting of grocery stores spread across the country.
Will the Bush administration retreat from hardline unilateralism when it comes to aid for Argentina?
The reverberations from the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 enmeshed the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in a major legitimacy crisis over its recently assumed mission to promote free capital mobility around the globe.
The policies of the IMF are not only backed by the U.S. government and its allies, but also by powerful elites in low-income countries. Yet the economic case for change is overwhelming
The U.S. needs to resume its original Bretton Woods perspective.

Concert 7.00pm
For this year's Christmas concert the outstanding choir "Reverie" will be returning to St Andrews Church.
Reverie is a group of some 14 young singers hand picked from the UK's top choral institutions. Having heard them sing at a wedding and a funeral, Tim Hart invited them to sing at our annual Christmas concert last year, they did not disappoint, the concert was wonderful. Reverie performed a combination of Carols, Christmas music, ancient and modern.
The programme for this year is yet to be confirmed, however it is likely to
include music by Byrd, Palestrina,
Tchaikovsky and Britten as well as Tippett Spirituals.
They have enlisted a couple of trumpeters and a tympanum to add punch
and of course will allow us, the audience, to participate for some carols.

On Monday's edition of Three for All on Middays with MFB, Lou Merloni, Christian Fauria and Tim Benz discussed the University of Virginia's new "Game of Thrones" class, the easiest courses that the trio took while in college and Fauria's surprising major while at the University of Colorado. To listen to the segment, go to the MFB audio on demand page.
HBO's "Game of Thrones" has made the jump from the TV screen to the classroom. The University of Virginia offered a four-week course revolving around the popular fantasy series this summer.
"Actually, when you read what the course description is, it actually looks a little harder than I want it to be," Fauria said. "They really dig deep into the symbolism and everything else."
- Fauria used the news of the "Game of Thrones" course to ask Merloni and Benz about the easiest class that they took in college. Benz went with a film class at Syracuse that was based on the work of famed director Steven Spielberg.
"It's all of Spielberg's careers and you just got to find the threads that weave together through all of Spielberg's movies. … It wasn't that hard, it was a pretty easy course."
"Why would you, if you're a school, have those classes?" Merloni asked.
After thinking about it, Merloni brought up a military science class that he enrolled in at Providence College – a class that was popular with many student-athletes at the school.
"It would be like ROTC," Merloni said. "You go in there and it would be like a class and you'd look around and sit down, and I'd look in the first and second line, the hockey team were to my right. I looked back here, and I'd see the power forwards on the hoop team over there to my left, the lacrosse team was back there and the soccer team was back there."
- Fauria also discussed majors in college, revealing to both Benz and Merloni that his original major at the University of Colorado was film studies, a field that Fauria said he excelled in - with minimum effort.
"I thought I was going to be Steven Spielberg," Fauria said. "I was actually shooting movies. I had to rent this camera and we were supposed to do this whole dramatic, artsy piece, and I took my camera and I just ran it through some weeds and some bush and I tacked some crazy title at the end of it ' I got an 'A' on that. At that point, I was like, 'OK, this is where I belong' "
Here are the highlights from Monday's Headlines on Dennis & Callahan with John Dennis and guest hosts Jon Meterparel and Steve Buckley. To listen to the segment, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
Human remains found in box on Duxbury front lawn
Chandler and Hector Rodriguez got quite the surprise Sunday morning at their Duxbury home, as they discovered a partially opened box on their front lawn that was emitting a strong odor.
Massachusetts State Police quickly arrived on the scene and determined through x-ray analysis that the box contained human remains.
"By late Sunday night, Duxbury police confirmed that the body has been handed over to the medical examiner, which is a job I wouldn't take no matter what they paid me, you've got to deal with that. You have no idea who it is, how he got there, what happened," Dennis said.
Joe Torre fails to mention George Steinbrenner in Cooperstown speech
Former Yankees manager Joe Torre spoke for almost 28 minutes Sunday during his induction to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, but immediately had a look on regret on his face after finishing his address.
While Torre talked at length about the Yankees during his speech, he failed to mention George Steinbrenner and the leap of faith that the former Yankee owner offered Torre when he gave him the job of New York manager in 1996.
"As soon as I turned around, I said, 'I forgot George.' Not only George, but Hal [Steinbrenner] and the family and the whole thing," Torre said after his speech.
"Don't you spend some time compiling your speech, making a list of all the people you want to thank?" Dennis asked.
"Joe Torre is a really smart guy," Buckley said. "He was a broadcaster with the Angels for several years, so he's worked in media, he's done a lot of stuff over the years. … But still, when you get up there with what is really, inarguably, the biggest day of your life, I have complete sympathy for him because there's so many things going on that you've never dealt with in your life."
Rockies misspell star Troy Tulowitzki's name in shirt giveaway
The Rockies thought it would be a good idea to schedule a promotional giveaway before Saturday's game against the Pirates, as the team decided to give away Troy Tulowitzki shirts to the first 15,000 fans that arrived at Coors Field.
The only issue? The shirts featured the name 'Tulowizki,' missing the second 'T.'
"Somebody brighter than me, I forget who it was, said leave off the last 'T' for 'trade,' " Buckley said.
Obama played 81 rounds of golf since re-election
The New York Post, after a thorough schedule analysis, revealed that President Barack Obama has played 81 rounds of golf and attended 75 political fundraisers in the 628 days since his 2012 re-election and is on pace to double the 104 days he spent golfing during his first term.
Obama is also set to visit Martha's Vineyard on Aug. 11 in order to attend a fundraising dinner.
"I hope it doesn't overlap with my two weeks, because I like my privacy," Buckley said.
In Friday's edition of Three For All on Middays with MFB, Lou Merloni, Christian Fauria and Tim Benz discussed Tara Reid's take on "Sharknado," Benz's sloppy eating habits and an unusual spam message he received on Facebook. To listen to the segment, go to the MFB audio on demand page.
Reid, who starred in the original "Sharknado" movie, told GQ Magazine that the chances of a shark attack on New York, where the sequel will take place, thanks to a furious tornado is not a far-fetched as one may believe.
"You know, it actually can happen," Reid said. "I mean, the chances of it happening are very rare, but it can happen actually."
Fauria read the quote through his own impersonation of Reid, sending Merloni and Benz into hysterical laughter.
"That's a hard sell right there," Benz said.
Said Fauria: "So be careful. If you're by any body of water and there's a pool, maybe there's a small little pond, if you see a little spin or a little twister, be careful. This could really happen."
– The guys broadcasted their show from Patriots training camp at Gillette Stadium on Friday. The team provided food for the media that included chicken fajitas and refried beans.
Benz didn't just take advantage of the free food, he did so in the most amusing way.
"During the interview [with Kevin Millar], I look over and Tim's got the microphone over his head and he's eating during the interview, which isn't the problem," Merloni said. "He's eating the refried beans, he doesn't have a fork so he's eating them with his hands.
"Not only did he not have a fork but he didn't have a napkin. What were you using to wipe your hands?" Merloni asked.
Benz responded: "My sock."
"You are improvising, adapting and overcoming," Fauria said.
– Benz talked about an unusual message he got on Facebook recently from someone named April. The message was vaguely worded and clearly spam.
"I was reading this and I was laughing out loud because I had never seen something like this from Facebook sent directly to me in my Yahoo account and I'm thinking, who falls for this crap. How does this ever work on anyone? How does anybody get duped into this?" Benz said.
Said Fauria: "You should actually just write back and have it be comical for yourself. Get a back and forth going."
Here are the highlights from Friday's Headlines on Dennis & Callahan with Kirk Minihane, John Dennis and guest host Jon Meterparel. To hear to the segment, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
NASA: Solar flare nearly destroyed Earth 2 years ago
A recent revelation by NASA explains how Earth had a near miss with a solar flare on July 23, 2012, from the most powerful solar storm on the sun in over 150 years.
Daniel Baker of the University of Colorado said that Earth and its inhabitants were lucky the eruption happened when it did because it would have struck Earth had it occurred one week earlier.
"So a bunch of people knew this and didn't tell us?" Dennis asked. "Should we not have been warned?"
The report suggests the power of this eruption would have blacked out the Earth completely, with an economic impact exceeding $2 trillion.
"If the world's over, why would you even measure the impact?" said Minihane.
Said Meterparel: "Who's the last man standing? Who is Will Smith in 'I am Legend?' "
"The president. He's in a bunker underneath," Dennis responded.
Jacqueline Bisset: 'Older women continue to want sex but men don't want to sleep with them'
Actress Jacqueline Bisset has a new film, "Welcome to New York," that she stars in about men and women and their hormones, and she plays a woman who is married to an adulterous financier.
When discussing her new film and her own opinions on sex, Bisset, 69, was unhappy with the way older women were viewed by men sexually, saying, "Older women continue to want sex but men don't want to sleep with them."
"You know me, I like the older ladies," Minihane said.
Said Meterparel: "I don't know why you wouldn't, especially Jacqueline Bisset."
This led to a discussion about older women and which ones they find attractive.
"You think 70 and under is in play?" Minihane asked.
Said Meterparel: "I think 60 and under is in play."
Seinfeld may be coming to Netflix; another season being discussed
Jerry Seinfeld said in a Reddit chat that "Seinfeld" could be coming to Netflix, and another season may be discussed.
"That would be a disaster," Minihane said.
According to Meterparel's Hollywood sources, "Curb your Enthusiasm" will be returning for another season.
"I've got some sources," he said.
Doctor claims that dogs understand what humans say to them
Dr. Gregory Burns of Emory University said based on MRI examinations, dogs have brains more similar to that of humans than previously believed.
"I take a back seat to nobody in my admiration for dogs, but I don't think they understand when I'm explaining to them when a tree falls in the forest it doesn't make a sound," Dennis said.

text: David Plouffe: 2010 Tea Party Candidates Were 'Witches and Defenders of Rape' Print article Send a Tip by Charlie Spiering 25 May 2014 post a comment Former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe remarked during an appearance on ABC's 'This Week' that Tea Party candidates in 2010 were "witches and defenders of rape." Plouffe made his remarks during a panel discussion of how the Republican establishment was successfully fighting back against bad candidates in the 2014 mid-term elections. "Well, let me say this, I mean, I don't get the celebration. I mean, OK, maybe it's a low bar … so they're not witches and defenders of rape," he said. Plouffe added that although Republicans in 2014 "don't pledge allegiance to all the crazy" they were still flawed candidates. "Let's look at 2016. Different electorate, battleground states, all against immigration reform, all denying climate change, all against gay marriage, all against funding things like education and transportation and jobs," he said. "This is not people that are going to win, you know, the middle of the electorate or the emerging parts of the electorate." He also remarked that Rick Perry, Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio had "run away" from their tough stances on immigration.
