This publication provides a universally applicable project management method - the principles, processes and techniques that enable individuals and organisations to successfully deliver their projects within time, cost and quality constraints. "Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2[trademark]" forms part of a pair of publications that are the result of the PRINCE2: 2009 Project to update the PRINCE2 guidance. Its companion is "Directing Successful Projects with PRINCE2[trademark]". The title has been designed to be a role specific handbook for Project Managers, Team Managers and Project Support. The new 2009 edition: explains the principles that underpin PRINCE2; describes the PRINCE2 processes in their entirety and 'Key Themes' of project management, specific to PRINCE2, that are required for the processes to be effective; cross-references techniques that may be applied; also explains how to tailor the method; and, provides context of when and how to use PRINCE2 for different project environments (e.g. standalone or as part of a programme). Like the 2005 guidance, the book contains chapters on Starting Up a Project, Directing a Project, Initiating a Project, Controlling a Stage, Managing Product Delivery, Managing Stage Boundary and Closing a Project. In addition, the guidance also looks at the wider role of the Project Manager, including: soft skills of the project manager; leading and managing; stakeholder engagement and communication planning; organisational change management; PRINCE2 in different types of organisation and cultures; and, training needs for project teams. This title includes real world examples and illustrations in each chapter. It contains extensive appendices on the following topics: Product Descriptions; Governance; Role Definitions - Responsibilities and typical competencies by role; Product Based Planning example; and, Health Check. It also contains a list of further information and glossary - definition of acronyms and terms used.

Why would a 3-year-old need Zoloft or Ritalin?
- Q: Why would a 3-year-old need Zoloft or Ritalin?
- A: Ritalin (methylphenidate) is prescribed to treat ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) or ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) in children 6 years old and older. Zoloft (sertraline) is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, and social anxiety disorder in ages of 6 years old and older. ADD and ADHD can be hard to diagnose in a very young age, as the "terrible twos" are similar to ADD and ADHD. There have been a few reported cases at this age, but it is very rare. If a toddler has ADD or ADHD, one of the signs they may have is getting up very early, going to sleep late at night, and not taking naps during the day. Or, if they are overstimulated and excited, it may take a long time for them to calm back down. There have been studies with children who suffer from anxiety separation when the parent has to leave them at daycare or school for the very first time. Medications, such as Zoloft (sertraline) have been studied. The experience can be traumatic to the child, but there are ways to help prepare them for when the time comes. Usually, medication is not the first step. First, the parent and child can have education and family therapy. A regular routine has been shown to be beneficial, where one or both of the parents are awake and present when it is time for the child to go to daycare/school. Many schools have a mental health provider available, who can help the child adjust when they are at daycare/school. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. Patti Brown, PharmD

FILM REVIEW: Chely Wright
Wish Me Away:
The Coming-Out Story of Chely Wright
Country star Chely Wright had finally gotten everything she'd wished and worked so hard for since she'd started singing Loretta Lynn songs as a four-year-old girl in Welleville, Kansas. She had eight albums and fifteen country chart singles, including the No. 1 "Single White Female." She'd been honored by the Academy of Country Music, featured in sexy People and FHM spreads, written songs for Brad Paisley, Richard Marx, the Indigo Girls, and Mindy Smith, among others. She'd dated Paisley and done the rounds of talk shows.
So why one day after a period of isolation, depression, and not eating enough, did Wright find herself crying, putting a gun in her mouth, and praying for God to give her some reason not to pull the trigger? Because for the better part of four decades, she'd been, in the words of one of her songs, "a damn liar," hiding the homosexuality she'd been taught since childhood in church to loathe as demonic, and hating herself for both her orientation and her cowardice. Midway through her career, she had made a deal with God that when she hit it big, she'd come out of the closet, providing succor to all the bullied gay kids—out or closeted—who were looking for love and validation. But she made it big, then made it bigger, and still couldn't find the courage to make that leap.
After that gun incident, though, she felt God's warmth, she tells us, and began to gather forces to come out like no other. (There are some asterisks around this, given how you define "country" or, for that matter, "coming out" in Nashville's somewhat Don't Ask Don't Tell environs, but consensus seems to be that Wright is the first major country music star to do so.) An astonishingly organized, driven musician and performer since her preteens, Wright marshaled those talents toward a new goal. Bobbie Birleffi and Beverly Kopf—the filmmakers behind the involving, tender film, Chely Wright: Wish Me Away—documented the three years leading up to Wright's announcement via album, book, and film.
If the film, and indeed the whole multi-front campaign, seems sometimes overwrought and irritatingly self-involved—and occasionally it does—consider that Wright wasn't a rocker, wasn't a punk, wasn't a Broadway crooner or a jazz diva. She was a performer who lived for the love of her fans, and had the good and bad fortune to choose a musical genre Krazy Glued to Bible-belt, hetero, patriotic, red-state values. Just ask the Dixie Chicks—and yes, Wish Me Away does make an interesting companion piece to 2006's Shut Up and Sing, which chronicled the Chicks' country-fan comeuppance in the wake of their anti-Bush, anti-Gulf War brouhaha.
As country music historian Don Cusic puts it, "Fans are loyal to an artist until they feel betrayed." Even surrounded by an enviable team of veteran, topflight managers, spiritual advisers, producers, publicists, editors, stylists, friends, and family, Wright knew that what she was contemplating was nothing less than pressing the self-destruct button on the musical career she'd spent her life building. So hey, be a little self-involved, right? Heck, she's earned it.
It's the kind of decision you'd only make if you couldn't not make it. "For decades I thought I'd take that secret to my grave," Wright tells us. But living life "not openly and not honestly about killed me, so I'm gonna take it back."
An interesting wrinkle is that while she may be riding that float now in the Chicago Pride parade, Wright's still, politically, more than a little bit country. The sister of a Marine, she wrote a song ("Bumper of My S.U.V.") about an altercation she had over a Marine sticker on her car. She says: "For some reason people think that you can't be gay and have those platforms of your life. I've never denied God and I am about family and I am about the freedoms of my country. And I'm gay."
Part of the film's fascination is that it alternates between production values as flush and slick as any CMT music video and shaky home-video snippets of Wright, often in the middle of the night, spilling her self-doubting guts. At the one-month countdown before her coming out launch, for instance, she says, "I don't know if I have the courage to actually have anyone see this tape." In a wee-hour home videoed rant, Wright tells off her otherwise esteemed book editor, Random House's Victoria Wilson, after the latter made a dismissive comment about a sensuous swimsuit shoot Wright did at the height of her career. You be a feminist your way, Wright says in far more colorful language accompanied by a gesture involving a finger, and I'll do it my way. Hey, can Wright help it if she is, in the words of one colleague, drop-dead gorgeous?
Wright's massive coming-out party has no pat ending. There are the vestiges of a childhood at the apparently physically and verbally abusive hands of her mother, though Chely's sister Jennifer seems to have borne the brunt of that. There's the reluctant but persistent disapproval of Jennifer's husband, Mike, who still regards homosexuality as a sin. There are Wright's regrets over the pain her lies caused others. Of Paisley, she says tearfully: "I just completely cut him off and that's the worst thing you can do to a person…. I was a coward."
And, of course, there are, amid the flurry of hate mail and death threats, all those lost fans Wright lived for. "There's nobody quite as mean as people being mean for Jesus," says Wright's spiritual adviser, C. Welton Gaddy. Wright's songwriting/producing colleague Rodney Crowell predicts in the film that the country-music world wouldn't hound Wright out of town, but that they'd freeze her out in a special, quiet, deadly passive-aggressive Nashville way. That seems to be exactly what's happened.
Still, one can only imagine Wright's got a lot of new fans. She has a wife, too! And she's got her soul back. "I don't feel like I'm coming out," she says. "I feel like I'm coming together."
"I feel as if it's my birthday," Wright says thrillingly. "I'm super-duper out!"
Her supportive dad Stan thinks that while Chely might be the first big country star to come out, she sure won't be the last.
Look to your right, Country USA. Look to your left. Look to your own families and churches and schools. As Wright sings in the immortal words of Chuck Berry—and her version's grown on me, though I still like Emmylou's best—"C'est la vie, say the old folks. Goes to show you never can tell."

Parent Hacks admin: Summer (mental) vacation
Hello, dear Parenthackers! It has been a long time since we checked in. I hope that you and your families are enjoying the end of summer, bittersweet as it is. Many of you are already deep in back-to-school, and many more have years before school is on the horizon. We are heading into our last full week of summer, and I'm feeling that internal tug o'war: one side is hanging onto these open, sunny days with a white-knuckle grip, and the other is longing for the return of routine and time to myself.
One of the more surprising upshots of this summer has been my rather sudden and acute Internet allergy. You may have noticed that posting has been slim over the summer, as has my presence in the comments here and around the blogosphere. It's not because I love this community any less -- it's because I got hit with a need to plant myself back in the day-to-day world of my family, home, friends. It's hard to explain -- it's not as if my Internet life takes me away from all of that. I do most of my writing here and elsewhere before- or after-hours. But having my feet in two "worlds" -- the online and offline -- can get tiring, and I needed to reduce the mental input for a while.
It has been wonderful to immerse myself in what has been going on around here -- lots of little summer outings, plenty of swimming, free time at home, impromptu playdates. Nothing out of the ordinary, but still a good rest.
As part of my general summer slackery, I just noticed that the daily link roundup hasn't posted here since early August. I have been faithfully adding the links you send me (along with stuff I happen upon myself), but for some reason, the automated posting from Delicious to Parent Hacks broke somewhere along the line. I'm adjusting the dials right now and expect to get it working again, but in the meantime, drop on by delicious.com/parenthacks to catch up on the August linkaliciousness. For those of you who have sent me links during the last few weeks, I'm sorry they never made an appearance on the site.
We've got a little more than a week of summer left, after which I will enter the Promised Land known as Both Kids In School Fulltime. (My youngest starts kindergarten. I can't believe it. Another tug o'war: "I've been waiting for this day forever" and "Oh my God, she's growing up.") I am so excited to get the kids settled into school so I can get myself settled back here, in this fantastic community. You never cease to amaze me with your great ideas and smart, generous conversation. Thank you, as always. I love being here.

Nasik Swami And Serafina Silaitoga
Thursday, December 13, 2012
NO reports of damage were received following a 5.0 magnitude earthquake that struck 312.19 kilometres Southeast of Tubou Village, Lakeba, Lau yesterday afternoon.
According to the Mineral Resources Department the earthquake occurred at a depth of 35 km.
Jonetani Onoitoga, a resident of Tubou Village in Lakeba said he did not feel the tremor.
Department director Malakai Finau said members of the public should not fear or panic as such earthquakes posed no threat.
"People only need to be on alert as earthquakes are occurring all over the world," Mr Finau said.
He said Fiji sat on the Pacific Rim of Fire, which was the reason for such earthquakes.
Mr Finau said for this year alone a total of 199 tremors occurred in the Fiji region.

1. Weeding is an important part of gardening, as weeds compete with your plants and shrubs for nutrients, water, and space. Here are a few tips for optimal weeding.
2. Weed early and often. The best time to weed a garden or flower bed is early in the growing season when the ground is still soft and before the weed seeds have a chance to spread. Stay ahead of weeds by doing a little every day.
3. An Action Hoe® is great for weeding and cultivating around live plants and shrubs. It works by using a back and forth push-pull motion to cut weed roots deep under the surface. Use a bow rake to clean-up and level out the soil and mulch after weeding.
4. Dispose of all weeds in recyclable yard waste bags. Check with your township or municipality to see if they dispose of these types of bags.

Reviews for Chocolate Pudding Cake
Sort By :
"Always gets "kudos" from the crowd!! I only cooked for 4 1/2 hrs., and I put "paper towels" under the lid to absorb the condensation that tends to drip on the cake and make it "soggy". Such a wonderful recipe, so easy, delicious, and frees up the oven.Zola"
"wonderful recipe. The only issue that I experienced was that all of my chocolate chips went to the bottom and burnt. Next time I will add the chocolate chips a couple hours into baking."
"This was great! It was done in 4 hours, though. I used 1/4 cup of chocolate liqueur and 3/4 cup of water."
"I have been making this cake for years now. I have made 2 changes that work well for me. I use 1/2 c each semi sweet & milk chocolate chips. I also cook the cake on HIGH for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Best to check the cake after 2 hours."
"Made this over the weekend. It is like a steamed pudding. We liked it but it does need the chips and ice cream or whipped topping. Reminds me of what most of the world calls pudding. Mine was done in 4 hours rather than 6. Crock pot low may be warmer than some."

We all have our embarrassing high school photos. (Mine involves fire-engine red hair, in case you were curious.) But the ever-chic Michelle Obama somehow managed to take a rather foxy prom night shot. Check it out after the cut!
The photo was revealed on Ellen this week, where the host "retaliated" for losing a push-up contest against Michelle by airing this shot. Though Ellen was kind enough to show her own prom photo as well:
Dang, Michelle (sorry, Ellen, I have no words for you)! Way to rock a head-turning dress! At my prom, we weren't allowed to wear strapless gowns, much less ones with ultra-high slits. I settled for a shiny silver number with a shawl, which was not quite as memorable as this.
What do you think of Michelle's dress? What did you wear to prom?

March 11 2005 - TMFHS OPENS CENTER FOR ADVANCED SURGERY AND TECHNOLOGY
Press Release - March 11,
For Immediate Release
March 11, 2005
John Moore
Media Relations
(903) 531-4542
TYLER, TX – Officials with Trinity Mother Frances Health System announced the opening of the Center for Advanced Surgery and Technology, located at Mother Frances Hospital, which includes capabilities and technology found nowhere else in east Texas. The Center for Advanced Surgery and Technology (CASAT) includes two revolutionary da Vinci robotic surgery systems (a laparoscopic surgical robot that integrates the classic skills of the surgeon with the futuristic precision of a robot) and encompasses a wide range of technologically advanced tools including 3-D echocardiography, an Avanto MRI, which provides image clarity 100 times better than previous MRI technology, and the Stereotaxis magnetic assisted catheterization lab. A second Stereotaxis lab will be in place by July 2005.
Health System officials said patient benefits for robotic surgery can include less pain, fewer side effects, faster recovery, less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, less risk of infection, faster return to daily activities and reduction in the surgical incision.
"Trinity Mother Frances Health System is one of only 25 multiple specialty robotic surgery sites in the country, and the only one in east Texas," said Ray Thompson, FACHE, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Trinity Mother Frances Health System. "We have been designated as a Center of Excellence by Intuitive Surgical, the company that designed and builds the da Vinci Robotic system."
"Trinity Mother Frances Health System is proud to have not only the best equipment available, but also one of the leading cardiac surgeons in the nation providing care at Mother Frances Hospital," said David K. Teegarden, MD, president and chief medical officer, Trinity Mother Frances Health System. "Dr. William Turner of Turner Cardiovascular Associates is one of the top minimally invasive robotic cardiac surgeons in the country, and one of only seven heart surgeons in the world to use daVinci to perform coronary artery bypass on a beating heart during a minimal incision operation. To date, Dr. Turner has performed 53 robot-assisted coronary artery bypass graft surgeries at Mother Frances Hospital. We are proud to offer this level of technology and skill to our patients right here in east Texas."
"I am very exited to be a part of the advancements in cardiac care taking place at the Center for Advanced Surgery and Technology," said William F. Turner, Jr., MD. "Heart patients are feeling less pain and discomfort and going home sooner because of da Vinci. As a physician, it is very rewarding to see patients benefiting from some of the most sophisticated technology in the world."
da Vinci cannot make decisions or movements on its own. The surgeon makes all movements. But da Vinci makes the surgeon's movements more precise, giving the surgeon more range of motion and providing enhanced 3-D visualization of the operating field. da Vinci technology has applications that benefit many types of surgical procedures. In addition to cardiac procedures, da Vinci is also being used to treat prostate cancer through radical prostatectomies.
"Prostate problems are very common in men over 50," said Andrew K. Kirkpatrick, MD, Trinity Clinic Urology. "Recovery time can be long for patients who undergo a radical prostatectomy through traditional surgery. The da Vinci robotics system is providing many of the same benefits for prostate patients as we see in cardiac patients, including less pain and faster recovery."
"We will have ongoing da Vinci, Stereotaxis and other technical training for physicians of different specialties from all over the United States," said David K. Teegarden, MD. "Medical leaders from prestigious institutions such as Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C. have visited Trinity Mother Frances to view the technology available here, and we have a waiting list of physicians and nurses who have requested to visit."
Other technologies available at the Trinity Mother Frances Center for Advanced Surgery and Technology include: A 3-D echocardiography diagnostic tool that provides physicians with amazingly detailed images of the heart. The 3D Echo provides some of the clearest images ever available of the human heart and is assisting cardiologists at Mother Frances Hospital in implementing more accurate and faster treatment programs. Stereotaxis, which provides cardiologists a means of reaching areas of the heart that require angioplasty and stenting that previously could not have been treated with an interventional catheterization. And the Avanto MRI, a magnetic resonance imaging system that can scan a patient's entire body in 12 minutes using total imaging matrix technology (TIM). Avanto is the first MRI system based on TIM, which dramatically changes and improves magnetic resonance imaging with clarity never before available.
For more information on services available through the Center For Advanced Surgery And Technology at Trinity Mother Frances Health System, visit www.tmfhs.org or call TeleCare Plus at 903-531-5678, or outside Tyler at 800-535-9799.

I am absolutely thrilled to announce HostelBookers.com as our accommodation sponsor while we are traveling through Europe this year!
During the next 7 months, through my trip recap posts – along with my usual thoughts on money, savings, and budget traveling – I will be sharing pictures, stories, and reviews of the hostels that I stay in. Much like my Paris trip recap from a few weeks ago. So you shouldn't see a difference in how I write – just maybe a couple more links and tips on the hostels that I like. With the generosity of HostelBookers.com and the hostels that we will be staying in, we can stretch our budget and visit more places – making our European travel dreams come true. :)
In case you weren't aware, HostelBookers.com is an average of 8.7% cheaper than Hostel World, has no booking fees (!), and guarantees the lowest price. It's the website we use the most to book our accommodation when traveling, so you can imagine how thrilled I am to be able to work with such a great organization that I actually use often.
HostelBookers.com just announced their 2012 Awards For Excellence – where they showcase the top 3 hostels on each continent for a bunch of different categories, such as cleanest, best value, best location, most popular, best for newcomers, and much more. And I'm happy to see a couple of hostels I've stayed in before have made it on the list. :) It's probably a really good starting point for those starting their hostel search.
Here are a couple photos of two of the best hostels in the world – pretty nice, eh?! You can also check out the YouTube video for more photos of this year's winners.
Anyway, I feel like this is just the beginning of a lot of really cool, fun things that are going to happen in 2012. So stick around – our first trip to Munich is happening this month! I also have a new freelance job I am just dying to tell you about too. :)

I know we all deal with sickness, aches, and pains all day...but anyone else got a little bit of *heaven* to share?

Chicago-area gets bad news from major housing report
January 4th, 2013 categories: Chicago Real Estate News
The latest numbers from the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller national home price index provided little end-of-the-year cheer for Chicago home sellers.
According to a story in the Chicago Sun-Times, the Case-Shiller numbers instead offered more evidence that the Chicago housing market is still suffering.
According to the story, the most Case-Shiller report found that Chicago-area single-family housing prices fell 1.5 percent from September to October.
That's not just a bad drop, it's the worst of any of the major metropolitan areas studied by Case-Shiller.
The news wasn't any better when looking at the difference between October of this year and the same month last year: According to the Case-Shiller study, Chicago-area single-family housing prices fell 1.3 percent from November of last year to the same month this year.
This news is especially disappointing considering that housing prices rose from October of last year to October of this year in the majority of the 20 housing markets included in the report.
In other words, Chicago's housing recovery is lagging behind the ones most other major cities are experiencing.
This bad news only highlights how important it is for Chicago home sellers to work with experienced REALTORS®.
A REALTOR® who knows your neighborhood will help you set the right asking price for your condominium or single-family home. That's especially important today; Chicago buyers are smart enough to not overpay for a single-family home or condominium. If they think that you are overpricing yours, they'll simply move on to another property in your neighborhood.
If you want to sell your Chicago home, find a REALTOR® who's sold properties in your neighborhood. It's the best way to give yourself an opportunity to succeed in today's difficult Chicago housing market.

Chad drove for a minute without saying anything. He flew through yellow lights, stopped short at reds, and gunned the motor at greens. Matt paid little attention to Chad's driving. He stared blankly out the window, holding the coffee cups in a death grip. "Can I get one of those?" Chad finally asked. Matt said nothing. "Yo, B!" Chad barked.
Matt turned to him. "Huh?"
"The coffee. If it's still hot," Chad said. Matt passed a coffee to Chad who sipped it. "Icicles." He lowered his window and threw the cup onto the street.
"That's littering," Matt chided.
"Are you fucking kidding?" Chad spat. Matt rolled his eyes and turned back to the window. "Are you gonna tell me what that was all about? Who was that kid?"
"You don't remember him? Billy Cantu," Matt mumbled.
"No clue," Chad said. "Should I?"
"It doesn't matter," Matt said.
"Bullshit!" Chad wanted more out of Matt.
"You don't know my neighborhood, dude," Matt said. And it was true. Chad lived in the North of Revere where anyone who had money in the city resided. The North of Revere was a peculiar piece of geography, a peninsula of territory that jutted into Melrose and Lynn. Only a narrow strip of road provided access. Some said this area should be its own city or merge with one of the others. Either way, it was a small world unto its own, where the wealthy in Revere lived, knowing little of their fellow citizens in the southern part of the city.
What's more, Chad had never been to Matt's house. Matt's neighborhood embarrassed him, and he seldom invited friends over. Even Kitty had only visited his house once.
Matt and Chad were friends, but in many ways they came from different worlds. When Chad got his driver's license, his father gave him the Cherokee and only one rule: don't do anything that will screw up your chances to attend Dartmouth College. Dartmouth was Mr. Harrison's alma mater, and Chad would never have to pay a penny for his education. Matt had to work after school to have any pocket change, and he was pinning his collegiate hopes on a scholarship. Chad didn't know how hard things were for Matt, and he didn't know anything about Billy Cantu or his father Carmine. "You've got to give me more, dude," Chad came back.
Matt put his now undrinkable coffee in a cup holder, annoyed with Chad's tone not to mention his ignorance. "Billy's dad is like the Tony Soprano of Revere, at least where I live. Billy is a big fuck up, but everyone is afraid of his father. He knows that. He uses that. Yeah, I could have beaten the crap out of him, but then I'd have to look over my shoulder. I may still have to after what just happened. It was a mistake, but maybe he'll forget about it." Matt stopped, and Chad was silent. "But something else is worrying me more," Matt added.
"Jason," Chad said.
Matt weighed his choices. Should he tell Chad what Billy had revealed? Someone on the team willing to throw games in college. Someone in deep with Billy and possibly Carmine. "Yeah… Jason," Matt lied. Chad didn't need to know. "We were supposed to talk about him."
"So what are we going to do?" Chad asked. A State title would increase Matt's chances for the UConn scholarship, but Revere could have finished in last place for all Dartmouth cared. But Chad didn't want the win for his collegiate application; he wanted it for himself. They needed Jason.
The Cherokee was within sight of Revere High now, and they hadn't made any decisions. Matt suddenly felt like Jason's problems were small compared to his. "Let's see what Mr. M. has to say. It's his class, his test," Matt said.
Chad nodded, accepting Matt's plan. The car pulled to a stop in the student parking lot, one of the nicer vehicles at Revere High. Chad's pimped out Cherokee stood in stark contrast to used Hondas, hand me down Ford pickups, and an assortment of other beaters the kids (and teachers) of Revere drove—if they were lucky enough to have a car at all. Matt was not one of the lucky ones. When he couldn't bum a ride with anyone, it was the o-so-classy city bus.
"Time to get our game faces on," Matt said. He and Chad smoothed their uniforms and grabbed their back packs. Whatever problems they had would have to wait for the moment. They were the captains of a football team that had just won the biggest game in school history. They had fans to greet.
In the student parking lot, the swarm began. Chad and Matt exited the Cherokee and started toward the school. They were soon joined by Jason and other players; all wore their game shirts. The size of the group swelled, as girls and friends glommed on. Kitty waited for Matt by the entrance. Matt recalled his dream and their night at Salem State. He had to push those thoughts aside. Can't walk the halls with a woody.
The mob was one hundred kids strong as it burst through the school doors. Even kids who didn't like sports couldn't resist joining the crowd. Jock and nerd alike were taking pride in Revere's win and the trip to the big dance the following weekend. The A/V geeks had put together a video about the football team's season, and footage of the championship game at Gillette Stadium would be pure gold. The social media club was blitzing the net. Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube were just a few websites where Revere High football content could be seen and downloaded. Everyone was on the bandwagon.
And it wasn't just students. Teachers lined up outside their classrooms to applaud the players. Someone had hung a banner in the main hall that read "Revere High: Going All the Way." The principal had frowned upon reading it; too sexual he thought. But he didn't want to be a kill joy, so he allowed it to remain up for the rest of the day. Let them have Monday to rejoice. Soon, the bell for first period rang and the school day got underway.
Most of the seniors on the team –including the captains—had United States history with Mr. Martinelli for first period. As the last bell rang, Timberlands, Skechers, Crocs, and Doc Martins shuffled into Mr. M's classroom. Those who were not wearing team jerseys dressed in a mix of consignment, hand-me-down and Dollar Store fashions. If you had more money –like Chad—you could get clothes from The Gap or Ann Taylor, but most Revere kids dressed on the cheap and did laundry no more than twice per month.
Mr. Martinelli always joked and chatted with the football players before getting things underway. On this Monday morning, there was a lot to talk about. "You guys have a good weekend?" Mr. M. "Anything important happen?" he joked.
Chad took the bait. "We only won the biggest game in school history!" Chad said, thumping his chest in pride. The rest of the team made noises like gorillas. Some of the girls rolled their eyes, but secretly they loved it.
"You ready for Gillette?" Mr. Martinelli asked. "What do you think the odds on this game are in Vegas?"
One of the team's tight ends, a big, burly, sweaty kid called out, "We've gotta be seven point favorites."
"Wow, seven," Mr. M responded. "Nah, you guys shouldn't think that highly of yourselves. I say three points, maybe two." Some boos and hisses. "What do you think, Matt?" Mr. M asked.
"What do you mean?" he asked back distantly.
"The point spread for our game this weekend," Mr. M said.
Matt's mind was still on his run in with Billy Cantu and the last thing he wanted to discuss was betting on sporting events. "Uhh…I don't think they do that for high school games," he said.
Mr. Martinelli stared at Matt for a moment, sensing the boy's pensiveness. He assumed it was Jason and the test occupying Matt's thoughts. Best to move on. "Odds are high this will be a tough test, so it's time to get to work," Mr. M said. "That means cell phones off and away."
The class hustled to power down and put away their phones. Everyone except Jason Albany. He shifted his phone below his desk and started to tap out a text message. Mr. Martinelli stood at the pea-soup green chalk board (underfunded Revere High had not yet upgraded to whiteboards and erasable markers) to write down some dates. Any good teacher –and Mr. M was one of the finest—had eyes in the back of his or her head. Mr. M. could tell something was amiss. He turned around to see Jason texting on his phone and took a step toward him. "What can you tell us about Paul Revere, Jason?"
Jason blushed with embarrassment and slipped his phone into his pocket. It felt strange to publicly humiliate Jason, the best football player in school history, but Mr. Martinelli's first duty was to educate, not pat the backs of jocks. "What?" Jason asked, missing the question.
Matt and Chad exchanged nervous looks. Mr. M's gaze traveled to Matt and they read one another's mind: this problem needs to be dealt with. "Paul Revere. What do you know about him?" Mr. Martinelli asked again.
"The city is named after him," Jason answered quietly. Everyone in the class knew that. Everyone in the high school did. Duh.
"What else?" Mr. M pressed him. Jason could make the plays in front of thousands of people, no amount of heckling or self-doubt ever affecting him, but in academic situations he barely ever contributed. Around girls he was shy and tongue-tied.
"He did the midnight ride," Jason said. His eyes pleaded with Mr. M: why are you doing this?
Mr. M's eyes pleaded right back at him. I'm trying to help you learn something, God damn it. Don't you see that? "What about after all that, when he was older?" Jason didn't have a clue.
"He started a foundry and sold a lot of products to the government," Matt interjected, coming to Jason's rescue.
"That's right," Mr. M said with a flash of annoyance. Jason didn't need rescuing but to man up. "Revere lived until 1818, a full twenty five years after the Revolution ended. He was a businessman and stayed active in politics. Every one of you should know this. He wasn't just some crazy guy who rode through the night shouting about the British. He was industrious and hard working and did great things every day as a solid citizen in a young country. When you think of your city, you should think about his example and try to be like him."
Mr. M was on a soap box, but it didn't get through to most of the students. Jason fingered his phone through his pocket, thinking more about the text he would send when class let out. The others either didn't see or care about the connection to the past. Bored faces stared back at him.
Only Matt seemed to have absorbed it. Football was like Revere's ride, a big moment in a man's life, but there was more to life than just big moments. There were millions and billions of moments that were just as consequential. How could he be a solid citizen? By helping Jason, or an unknown teammate mixed up with the wrong person?
Mr. Martinelli looked up at the ancient wheel clock on the wall. No digital clocks yet. He'd gotten behind on what was really important, prepping the class for their upcoming test. "Speaking of things you should know, we've got a big test in three days. A lot of you are hovering on the edge, but if you get this material down you'll be fine." He waved his hand toward the board where dates and names were listed. Notebooks rustled and pens began to scrawl.
Jason sketched some video-game figures on a piece of paper, clearly not thinking about what Mr. Martinelli had said. Chad elbowed Matt. This was not what they wanted to see.
Matt and Chad hung back after class, shifting their cracked and crumpled school books from hand to hand uncomfortably. Mr. Martinelli spoke to a student about some work, and when they were done and the kid had gone he shut the door. "I know, I know," he said to the two captains.
"What happens if he fails?" Chad asked.
"Even if he gets a C, that's still not enough to bump him up," Mr. M replied. "Jason needs a B on this test to lift him out of academic probation territory. I've told him this myself, but he doesn't seemed concerned."
"Mr. M…" Chad started, "what if it's close? You know, like in the B minus range. Maybe you could…" his voice trailed off. He didn't want to say it and waited for Mr. Martinelli's reaction.
Mr. Martinelli would have appreciated it more if Chad had come out directly and asked him to fudge the numbers. It felt like Chad was leaving the decision up to him instead of owning it and asking him to cheat. "Chad, I don't like what you are insinuating," Mr. M said. He chose to be offended and firm but not off the wall with anger. Chad was immediately ashamed and sank to a seated position.
"I'm sorry," Chad said. "This thing is just so whacked."
"Guys, he's just going to have to step up. It's out of my hands," Mr. M said. There was nothing left to say.
Chad rose to leave, pissed that it was going to end this way. He stopped in front of Mr. Martinelli. Mr. M. was the teacher and had all the power in the relationship, but physically Charles Martinelli was a wisp. Nearing fifty years of age, he was graying and balding with poor vision and a non-athletic physique. He was married but childless, and he was drawn to the power and the youth of the players on the team. The sons he never had, this year's squad being one of his favorites. His position as a teacher and a long time coach earned him respect, but as Chad stood in front of him, for just a moment, that relationship was non-existent. This was man staring at man, attempting to intimidate, Chad letting Mr. M know that in a world without rules he'd own the teacher. Mr. M. looked away, pretending not to notice or fear Chad's message.
Matt put a hand on Chad's shoulder and pushed him toward the door. Mr. Martinelli turned away from the boys and grabbed some papers, feigning interest in them even though they were blank. But then he called to Matt and Chad, who were at the door. "The next three nights!"
They stopped. "What?" Matt asked.
"After school for the next three nights," Mr. M continued. "Get Jason here. I'll tutor him. I won't do anything to give him an advantage over any other student, and he still has to take the test like the rest of you, but if he doesn't make that B it won't be for lack of anything we did." Matt and Chad didn't know what to say. Was Mr. M being serious? "Can you get him to come?" he asked them.
"We'll get him here," Chad said. Matt nodded in agreement.
"Thanks, Mr. M," Matt added.
Mr. Martinelli held up a hand. "Don't thank me guys," he said. "I want to win this as much as you do, and we need Jason. You get him here tonight at five o'clock sharp, and I'll do my part for the team."
The bell rang to begin second period. Matt and Chad would be late for their next classes, but so what. On a day that had begun bleakly, suddenly there was a bright spot.

Not for me
By KAREN
from WINNIPEG
Was surprised that the rollers did not heat up evenly.. Says will heat up in 5 mins but only half did I had to wait to roll up the rest that was strange.. I got the large rollers and found them to be so hot burned my thumb installing them. Considering the price I paid don't want to go through that again,As it turned out the very day I got them went to tsc to review the video to see they had been reduced in price
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Excellent - Love Them!
By Tara Jewell
from Fredericton (New Brunswick)
I have really long waist length, over 36", medium thick hair.I purchased two sets of the long rollers thinking it would take both to roll all my hair... but one set did it easily.The rollers heat up FAST and are easy to handle (not real hot on the ends like others I have used).The 12 long rollers are so long they are really like having 24 rollers.Just one tip: Make sure they are securely on the base or they may not heat up.I like that they are compact - store with the rollers off the base and they only have a small "footprint".FINALLY HOT ROLLERS FOR EXTRA LONG HAIR!WISH I COULD ATTACH A PICTURE FOR REFERENCE.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
They work great!
By Lynn B.
from Mount Forest, ON
I received them yesterday and used them this morning. I have frizzy/curly hair and when I took the rollers out my hair had a very nice loose wavy curl. The curl relaxed a little after a few hours but that is what I wanted it to do. I love how my hair looks after using them!
By Neets
from Regina, SK
I used these the second they arrived! Heated up in 3 minutes-as promised. I kept them in my hair for the suggested 15 minutes and my hair was just like Farrah Fawcett. The next morning i didn't need to recurl, but did cause it was fun! My daughter also loved these hot rollers. Her hair is naturally curly and it worked great for her too. No fuzziness! I need to buy her her own set now!
Small and Compact
By Annette
from Burlington Ont
This product is an ideal size for travel. The curlers heat up quickly and gives my hair the body it needs. I bought the short curlers and although I could of used a second set to do my full head, the one set I got, does the top of my crown and I purchased a curling iron to finish the job. This works great for weekend trips or travel because I'm not lugging around my full tray of heating rollers that weigh a ton. I'm really pleased with this purchase.

text: From Confucius to the EmpireThe Golden Age of Chinese thought in its political and military contextE. Bruce Brooks and A. Taeko BrooksDetailsDescriptionThis volume offers a concise overview of the classical period. Between an introductory chapter on the preceding centuries and a concluding chapter on the Chín Dynasty, six topical chapters—The Economy, The State, The Serving Elite, War and Peace, The People, and Transcendence—give a multifaceted sense of the classical period proper. Each chapter includes one or more "methodological moments," which suggest how the textual problems have been solved, and 500 translated passages let the period speak with its own voice on topics from law to the mourning period for a parent, revealing both its ethnic and its philosophical diversity. Reviews"I will definitely use it in my course. It solves a problem I have had from the beginning: to give context for the philosophical texts. . . . A stylistically economical, accessible, gripping, and substantive book."—John J. Furlong, Transylvania University"The work of Bruce and Taeko Brooks is unique. . . . They have brought to the field the proven methodology of Classical philology and applied it to long unsolved problems concerning the date and structure of the Chinese classical texts . . . the result has been a revolution in the understanding of these texts, and in their proper use as sources for history."—Christopher I. Beckwith, Indiana University"The picture the Brookses have built up, piece by piece, over the years deeply alters our understanding of the classical texts, of the nature of the dialogue among thinkers, and of the actual history of early China."—Haun Sussy, Yale University"Through a systematic effort, we get a general chronology including all the major texts, and this effort has shown a degree of interconnectedness that few would have anticipated."—Jörge Schumacher, Université de Genéve"Every one of the publications planned in this series will make a major contribution in establishing a new paradigm for our understanding of the key philosophical, political, and historical texts...how these texts spoke to each other, and how they evolved in dynamic dialogue with each other."—Paul Ropp, Clark University AuthorE. BRUCE BROOKS is research professor of Chinese and A. TAEKO BROOKS is research associate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

The basics of VPN at IU
A virtual private network (VPN) allows you to temporarily create or join a private network across an existing public network by creating an encrypted tunnel between two hosts. This tunnel allows you to transfer information securely and to access remote resources.
On this page:
Why use a VPN?
IU's VPN allows you to:
- Protect the information you're transmitting over the Internet.
Many public networks (e.g., wireless connections at hotels or
restaurants) are often unprotected and can leave you exposed to
electronic surveillance; even safe networks at other institutions can
require data to travel over the Internet to reach IU. A VPN encrypts
all traffic between you and IU to prevent information from being
intercepted (especially needed when dealing with sensitive information
such as personal banking data, student FERPA
information, or employee HIPAA data).
- Act as part of IU's network when you're off campus. You can access IP-restricted resources such as shared folders, hard drives, printers, and restricted library databases, and also create Remote Desktop connections to other computers on campus.
Note: For VPN when connecting from off campus, use the recommended SSL VPN if your campus supports it. The IPsec VPN at IUB and IUPUI will eventually be retired.
Note: To connect to IU's SSL VPN from a Linux workstation, download the installer from IUware.
To connect to the SSL VPN, see:
