Kings feel right at home with 3-1 win; Blackhawks' lead now 2-1

Updated: June 5, 2013 11:23AM
LOS ANGELES — It looked like all the confidence, all the cool, all the dominance that carried the Blackhawks through two surprisingly easy victories to open the Western Conference final had failed to make the trip to sunny Southern California.
Turned out it just arrived late to the rink, much like the Los Angeles crowd that got stuck in traffic en route to Staples Center for a 6 p.m. start. And on the Kings' home ice — where they've yet to lose this postseason — it simply came too late.
The Kings came out strong and held on for a 3-1 victory in Game 3 on Tuesday night, cutting the Hawks' series lead to 2-1 heading into Thursday's Game 4. That game will be back at the Staples Center, where the Kings are now 8-0 this postseason. The defending Stanley Cup champions are 1-7 on the road.
Besides winning the game, the Kings also appeared to win the mental battle, frustrating the Hawks with their aggressive play. Patrick Sharp dropped the gloves to fight Justin Williams before the refs broke it up in the first period, and an apologetic Duncan Keith earned himself a league review — and a possible hearing — for his careless retaliatory stick-swing that hit Jeff Carter in the face.
"They play a lot better at home," said Hawks goalie Corey Crawford, who made 25 saves as the Kings out-shot the Hawks 28-20. "They were buzzing, they were running around a little more than when we were in Chicago. But we were ready for that. We knew they'd come harder."
Right from the first drop of the puck, the Kings looked like a different team than the one that sleepwalked through Games 1 and 2. They were faster and more active, with Justin Williams and Jeff Carter all over the ice. And they didn't waste any time in making their statement that the series was far from over.
Justin Williams scored just 3:21 into the first, forcing a Nick Leddy turnover and then finishing the play off on a Slava Voynov feed. Voynov made it 2-0 early in the second when his broken-stick changeup seemed to surprise Crawford.
The rest of the second period was brutal for the Hawks, who lost their composure and lost their offensive rhythm. It started when Keith — in response to a slash by Carter on his unprotected hand as he bent down to pick up his glove — swung his stick and hit Carter in the face, drawing a double-minor. Keith immediately tried to apologize to Carter before being ushered away by a ref — and did apologize later in the period when Carter returned with a nasty gash on his face.
"Obviously, I wanted to give him a tap, but not where it got him," Keith said. "I felt bad. Glad to see that he came back. … It was just a little scuffle. It was an accident."
The league was reviewing the incident late Tuesday night.
Hawks captain Jonathan Toews defended Keith.
"I don't think there was any intention to hit him in the face," Toews said. "I think he wanted to give him a whack back, obviously. … Carter was instigating. It's an unfortunate incident. You never want to hit a guy in the face."
The Hawks killed off the penalty, allowing just one shot, but the Kings continued to control play — dominating puck possession and hitting (36-26 for the game). With less than seven minutes left in the second period, the Hawks had just one shot in the period, and just eight total.
"We kind of got flat-footed and we were watching each other a little bit too much," Toews said. "When you're standing still you're an easy target for them to come hit you."
But a brilliant wrap-around goal by — who else? — Bryan Bickell with 33.6 seconds left in the second period gave the Hawks new life. It was Bickell's seventh goal of the playoffs — one off the league lead — and dramatically changed the complexion of the game.
The Hawks came out far more aggressively in the third period. First, they killed another penalty, as Niklas Hjalmarsson took a Voynov slap shot off the inside of his left knee, struggled to his feet, finished his shift and came back to the bench, missing only about five minutes of game time. Then, on just their second power play of the game, they buzzed around Jonathan Quick (19 saves) but couldn't convert on several chances.
The Hawks continued to press — Brandon Saad had a puck put in his skates by Viktor Stalberg on a rush, and Keith was barely offsides on a breakaway on a bad Kings line change — but couldn't tie it up. Los Angeles sealed it with a Dwight King empty-net goal with 27.3 seconds left.
The Kings got a desperately needed win and some momentum heading into Game 4. The Hawks got yet another Game 3 wakeup call — their third Game 3 loss in three rounds.
"We stayed positive and we had quite a few chances late in the game," Toews said. "We were finally starting to get to that level we need to be. We just didn't do it for 60 minutes."

Michigan Credit Unions Grow Deposits, Small Business Loans in 2nd Quarter (Misc News: September 6, 2011)
Credit unions in Michigan continue to expand member services and fuel small business growth, according to the NCUA. Data for the second quarter, which ended June 30, shows an increase in deposits and in multiple loan categories for credit unions.
"The continued growth in credit union deposits shows that consumers are looking for a safe alternative to the volatile stock market for their savings," MCUL & Affiliates CEO David Adams said. "Credit unions provide a trusted alternative. Continued steady growth in deposits coupled with slow loan growth shows households are saving more and borrowing less. While bad for the economy in the short run, this is exactly what people should do to plan for the future."
Credit unions showed improvement in consumer deposits, several loan categories and in critical measures of financial strength:
"Credit unions continue to show very strong growth in small business loans at a time when banks are less able to lend," Adams said. "Small businesses continue to struggle with access to low-cost capital and credit unions are providing a good alternative for certain types of small business loans."

Student Career Associates Help
Other Students With Job Search
(715) 836-4741
(715) 836-2900
MAILED: April 14, 1999
EAU CLAIRE As a professional singer and dancer, Katie Kelly has plenty of experience putting together resumes and portfolios to apply for performance jobs. But the music major was unsure how to market herself for a teaching position.
So with graduation nearing, the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire senior turned to other students for help students trained by the Career Services staff as career associates.
"I wasn't sure what to do with a cover letter and resume for teaching," Kelly said. "The education resume is completely different from what I'm use to. I was in Career Services six times and I worked with three or four student associates. They all thought differently and I got a lot of opinions. It was very helpful."
Providing that kind of timely and quality service to the increasing number of students who use Career Services' resources is exactly what the staff had in mind when it trained its nine career associates, said Jeanne Sinz, director of Career Services. Associates are trained to help students research jobs and careers, as well as advise them on writing resumes and cover letters. The associates also run the Connections program, a program that brings together current students and alumni who are working in a field that's of interest to a student, and work on other projects.
"It's a win-win situation," Sinz said. "We expanded the services we offer and provide a tremendous professional development opportunity for our career associates."
The associates also help get the word out to other students that Career Services has excellent resources and offers career planning help as early as a student's freshman year. Each associate has ties with a different part of the university community, said Susan Ayres, a program assistant who works closely with the associates. That has helped increase the diversity of the students who come in to the office, she said.
"I knew word was getting out about what a great resource they are when students started calling and asking for a specific associate, saying their friend had recommended this person," Ayres said. "Now that happens all the time."
Student workers have always been a part of Career Services' staff, but in the fall of 1998 counselors decided to put the students' skills to better use, said Jean Wilcox, a career counselor. "The response has been tremendous," she said, noting that students reviewed more than 100 resumes in March alone.
"Associates help demystify the process of making good career decisions," Sinz said. "By telling their own stories, they help students see that it's okay to be confused about what they want to do. But they also teach students the skills of taking control of the rest of their life."
Associates are of various ages, backgrounds and majors, helping to ensure that all students feel comfortable visiting Career Services, said Wilcox said, noting that she knew training efforts had paid off when she saw a 40-year-old master's student listening attentively as freshman critiqued his resume. "For me, watching him hang on every word the associate said was an indication of the program's success," she said. "I'm amazed at what has happened and what these students are capable of."
"The career associates are the best resource in the lab," said career associate Betsy Pedersen, a junior communication major from Northfield, Minn.. "We help students with all kinds of questions and when we're not with a student we're working on projects to improve the lab and provide better resources for students."
Pedersen said she has worked with a number of students in majors such as history and English students who love their field but are unsure what they can do besides teach.
"I love helping them discover what possibilities are out there for them," Pedersen said. "I help them figure out what they really like and what they're interested in doing, and then we narrow it down by ruling out career options."
For example, Pedersen said she worked with an education major who was unsure if she wanted to teach in a traditional classroom. Working with Pedersen, the student researched teaching-related fields and eventually decided to look for child life specialist jobs.
"When she came in, she wasn't sure what she wanted to do," Pedersen said. "But we plugged away at it and it paid off. When she was in here the last time she knew exactly what she wanted and she was happy and content when she left."
For Aya Watanabe, a senior journalism major from Japan, a search for an internship in the advertising field brought her to the career associates. "They reviewed what I had done and had lots of suggestions," said Watanabe, who landed a summer internship at a New York advertising agency. "They made good suggestions and it really paid off."
Students are comfortable asking questions and sharing resumes and cover letters with the associates partly because they're comfortable talking with another student, Pedersen said.
"When I see a student wandering around the lab, they often seem more comfortable telling me that they have no idea what they want to do than they would be telling a counselor," Pedersen said. "I think that's a huge element of why this program has been successful."
Career counselors also meet with students, particularly those who say he or she would be more comfortable speaking to a professional, Sinz said, noting that different students have different preferences.
"I just wanted to see someone who knew more than me," Kelly said of working with an associate. "I wouldn't be as comfortable sending out resumes had I done it all on my own. I'm sure the resumes wouldn't have been as professional as they are if weren't for the associates."
"I have the best job on campus because I'm constantly surrounded by this process," Pedersen said, noting that the associate position has helped her develop her problem solving, communication and listening skills. "The resources are always available and working here has kept me on top of my game plan. I won't be cramming when it's time for me to graduate."

- Kearny's March: The Epic Creation of the American West, 1846-1847
- By Winston Groom. Alfred A. Knopf. 311 pp. Index. $27.95.
- Here is Winston Grooms sixteenth book, an epic of magnificent proportions meant to tell the tale of President James K. Polks desire to have a secure America from sea to sea with Stephen Watts Kearny as its major player. Its a good read, but one might come up short in reading his version of Jedediah Smiths death by Comanches, which is purely speculative and not footnoted. The major report of Kearnys march to California, was published in 1848 by his chief Topographical Engineer, William Hemsley Emory, Notes of a Military Reconnaisance. There is no evidence that Emorys original report was consulted for this volume. As a matter of fact, Niles National Register, referenced fifty-six times, appears to be the major source of military reports, and can be searched online. The trail map of the Western United States could stand improvement. [ ]

Loved the location. Loved the staff especially Wayne! Loved the shuttle van. Loved the hot breakfast. Loved the decor in the suite. Loved the homey feel!
Let out couch had a huge white stain that looked like it'd been there for a long time.
Very pet friendly
Fantastic location. suites have a great layout.
parking is a lil' tight. but, no big deal.
Great breakfasts, convienient location
Low small toilets
The hotel is located in a excellent region and all staff was very kind. Every think works well.
Staff Pool Room accommodations location Breakfast
A little higher in rate than I would think for Boise, but overall a good value.
Free breakfast, front desk staff, space in the penthouse suite
The staff was so friendly and helpful, having the shuttle service was so handy. We stayed in a studio suite it was roomy and comfortable loved the fireplace. The location is excellent for seeing down town Boise.
This space was perfect for our family. The beds were very comfortable and it was really nice to have 2 bathrooms. The breakfast buffet was EXCELLENT!
The hot water ran out very quickly for such a large hotel room.
Great room with kitchenette. The bathroom was extremely clean and roomy. The hotel is right across the street from Boise state university.
It was an amazing place to stay! I felt like I had my own appartment with amazing features! The wood burning fire place lights up a romantic evening, the full kitchen allows to bring your dinning to the hotel and feel like you are at home! We went out on the town and came back around 2 and both beds were clean and made, garbage empty, dishes cleaned, just outstanding service!
Honestly the only thing I did not like was the water heater, I think instead of a 40-50 Gallon tanked water heater, they should have the tankless instant water heater, but that won't stop me from coming back!
Clean rooms. Friendly and helpful front desk.
Breakfast hours are limited and not posted anywhere. Only open until 9:30 and they break it down right away instead of letting the food sit so people can come in a bit later. Got a "penthouse" that was suppose to have a balcony and two bdrm but the 2nd bdrm was just an open loft upstairs. Room and furnaturenwas nice, but didn't feel as big as it said. Not 800 sqft. Looked more like a really small apartment. Pictures are deceiving- living room is really small. Good for the price- but again- not a penthouse.
Very quiet. Though we didn't use it, the kitchenette was great.
The sofa bed was in tandem with the bed. We had to move it.
Great room with kitchen and sitting area.
Bed was too soft. Shower was lousy, you had to run around to get wet. Heater was so noisy it woke me up at night. You could hear people in floor above walking around and hear their shower running.
Air conditioner was very loud
One of the best hotels I have stayed in as far as design. Cute fireplace, lots of storage, a full kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals, nice showers thoughtful details, helpful staff. Nice relaxing pool with a fire-pit and patio for relaxing, nice clean grounds, pet friendly, free breakfast, BBQ, spa, internet, close to everything fun to do in Boise.
A/c was loud when it came on. There were noisy neighbors and people outside smoking and conversing into the wee hours of the morning. People walking back and forth above and car doors slamming woke me up in the night.
Excellent location. Large well equipped room.

Nearly every Saturday morning, year-round, I visit our town farmer's market. A few hardy souls will come out during the "off-season" from post-Christmas to March to sell meat, eggs, and baked goods. My beef and egg farmer is the kindest, no-nonsense southern woman. Miss Judy is always ready with a hug and a sincere, "how ya doing?" I was her first customer in Salem a couple years ago, on Holy Saturday. We were Lent-starved and they had convenient family packs of the best grass-fed meat I've ever had the joy to set taste-buds on!
In November, she put up a new item on her sale list – tongue! Our friends had raved about how tender and flavorful beef tongue is – they swore it was just like melt-in-your-mouth roast (ha!). Miss Judy brought out the frozen item and we both broke out in giggles. She had never cooked it before. I was willing to take a gamble and the tongue came home with me. I tucked it away in the freezer for after Nativity.
The dear Hobbit was, let's say, a little squeemish about the idea of a cow's tongue on his dinner plate. He made me promise to "surprise" him with it at dinner. Last Thursday seemed optimal for meaty dinner surprises. I followed the directions here for boiling. Here is what the tongue looks like in the pot:
After three hours of simmering in the oven, the tongue is ready to be peeled. Yes, I said peeled. The cow has a prickly, tough layer in order to grab grass yummies, much like a cat's tongue on a grander scale:
I trimmed off the gristly bits underneath and sliced it in rounds. The broth made an excellent gravy. That evening I also tried another new recipe, Pumpkin Risotto. Risky, that, trying two new things at once. Glory to God, both new things were a success!
The Hobbit Husband liked the tongue! He was clued into what was coming because I left out the peelings on the platter. It really does taste like a tender roast. We might have to revisit tongue again in the future.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Just leaving the fonts and everything where it was and just switching the names and etc.. I showed it to my bridesmaids who a few are getting married in the next year or so and the fell in love with it. The paper is strong and still very elegant. I couldn't imagine being happy with any other one."
"You really can't go wrong with anything you order from Wedding Paper Divas. The quality is always amazing. We wouldn't use anything else."
"Turned out great! Ordering was easy and I like the option to message the designer. I love weddingpaperdivas received several free samples which help me narrow down my choices. I also love their attention to detail, right down to packaging. I felt very well taken care of. Thank you!!!"
"Very happy with the wedding invites I received!! The textured paper is beautiful and feels like great quality and the colours are true to the sample that I originally ordered. Beautiful design and the personal designer was so easy to work with, making all the changes I required so quicky and easily. Highly recommended!"
"We absolutely LOVE our invite. This design has a modern yet traditional feel and is slightly whimsical. We didn't like "our wedding" underneath the names and it wasn't a problem to remove it. Our guests love our invite, too. We're going to do something fun/creative with it after the wedding. The back of the card, ironically, matches one of the tiers on our cake. That was a bonus!"

Glad that you did your research first! That is very important. Even though there was not much on the internet about them see if you can research some strengths about the company and weaknesses if you can find any that would allow you to bring them up as strengths you could add to the company. Basically your are selling yourself to help the prospective employer and showing them "why" you would be great for this position. Definately do not play with your phone while on the interview. Although I am not sure why you would even get your phone out during an interview...
Just be yourself and if it is the right place everything else will go into place. You could always go into business for yourself...
|Fri, 05-02-2014 - 11:16am
Learn what you can about the company. Visit their website, drive by and observe, etc. Make sure you arrive for the interview on time very professionally groomed. There are many websites that have lists of dos and don'ts for appropriate dress for a job interview. Do not slather yourself with perfume and do not chew gum. Answer all questions truthfully. Make sure you have answers prepared in advance for questions such as Why do you want to work here, What are your strengths and weaknesses, and Why do you feel you are the best candidate for this position. Be as confident in yourself as you can be. If you are confident in yourself, they are most likely to be confident in you too. Use good manners, good posture, and proper speech. Do NOT be late. Turn your cell phone off or leave it in the car. Do NOT text or look at your phone at all while you are in the interview.
Good luck!!

To nurture future innovators and thought leaders, the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW), the Government of India (DST), and the Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF) are partnering to develop a dynamic and transformative student exchange program between premier scientific institutions in India and the United States. The Bose program mirrors the prestigious Khorana Scholars Program for biologically related sciences, initiated in 2007 at UW-Madison.
The program is named in honor of Satyendra Nath Bose (1894 - 1974), a visionary Indian physicist best known for his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s. The class of particles that obey Bose-Einstein statistics, Bosons, was named after him.

Domestic Violence and the Law in California
The term, domestic violence, refers to threats or acts of violence between members of the same household. This includes spouses, children, boyfriends, girlfriends, siblings, relatives, and roommates. California law enforcement officers take domestic violence very seriously and in most cases, when officers are called to a scene involving domestic violence, at least one person is likely to be arrested.
What Happens When a Person is Charged with Domestic Violence in the East Bay?
While there are many victims of domestic violence in the state of California, not all charges of domestic violence are based on real situations. Unfortunately, there are people arrested and charged with domestic violence who, in reality, did not commit any crime. This can happen for any number of reasons.
However, once a complaint has been filed related to a domestic violence charge, there is no opportunity for the party to drop that charge. At that point in the case, only the district attorney can make that decision.
What are the Types of Domestic Violence Charges in Alameda & Contra Costa County?
There are a variety of charges that a person could face after being arrested for domestic violence. The following is a list of common domestic violence charges in the East Bay:
- Spousal Abuse
- Child Abuse
- False Imprisonment
- Financial Abuse
- Social Abuse
- Threats
- Sexual Abuse
- Stalking
- Harassment
- Assault & Battery
What to do if You Have Been Arrested for Domestic Violence in the East Bay
When a person gets arrested for domestic violence, it is important to consult with a local and experienced attorney who can help explain the process. Domestic violence, along with other crimes, can lead to devastating results. If you are accused of domestic violence, you can be subject to restraining orders which can affect jobs and licensing. If you are not a citizen of the United States, a domestic violence accusation and conviction can result in deportation proceedings. Take a moment to contact a lawyer who has knowledge in this area of the law.
Lynn Gorelick has defended clients in the East Bay for over 30 years and understands how important your case is to you and your family. Gorelick Law Offices offers a free, initial consultation in order to meet with Ms. Gorelick and review the facts of your individual case. To schedule a consultation, call 510.785.1444 or 925.847.3006.

OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section.

It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet.

With August fast approaching, the players and coaches aren't the only ones getting geared up for the fall football season — so are the officials.
"The Tri-County Football Officials Association (a.k.a. the Athens Association) is looking for individuals who love the game of football and might be interested in being involved in the game by becoming an official," commented assigner Craig Phillips recently.
"We are an older association, hoping to get an influx of younger officials, so that the game of high school football can continue as we know it," he explained. "Also, with the number of games being played, little leagues, middle schools, freshmen and JV (junior varsity), in addition to our varsity games. With less than 40 officials right now, we are terribly short handed."
A great way to stay around the game, many former players, coaches and fans have donned the striped shirt. Not only are they helping to see the game is played fairly and according to the rules, but they also benefit physically from the exercise and financially by often making more money per hour than they do on their regular jobs.
"I heard one longtime official at a clinic one time say it best when he said, 'Without officials, it's just recess,'" related Phillips, who will be in his 25th year of officiating this fall. "Without them (officials), we can't have games."
Over the years the Tri-County Association has expanded and serves 11 high school, three middle schools and several little league football association in seven southeastern Tennessee counties — Bradley, Polk, Meigs, McMinn, Rhea, Monroe and Loudon.
"The officials who were our leaders and teachers when I started are no longer with us, men like Shorty Jordan, Larry Sells, Glenn Curtis, J.P. Pendergrass, Bob Deal, Frank Hammons and Tim Richardson," Phillips stated. "We are looking to pass on what they taught us to younger official, who will continue on for years to come."
Officials are grouped together in crews of six or seven, including a clock operator. "We put the younger officials with veterans, who can help teach them," related Phillips. "The opportunity to join a group who loves the game of football and is dedicated to advance the officiating side of it awaits those who are interested."
"A young official can go as high as he wants in the ranks," proclaimed Phillips. "While our association has not produced an NFL official, we have had officials from our association advance to officiate in college conferences including the Sun Belt, Southern, South Atlantic and Randell Kizer, one of our own. is currently officiating in the S.E.C."
Phillips related there are three NFL officials living within 90 miles of Cleveland, two in Chattanooga and one in Knoxville.
The association also sends crews to officiate a TSSAA state playoff games each November and a state championship game every other year.
Anyone interesting in joining the association or getting more information is invited to attend the first local meeting for the fall season in the McMinn County High School library on Tuesday, at 7 p.m. Phillips can also be reached at (423) 715-9471 to answer any questions.

Multicultural Science Education, Equity, and Social Justice
November 2011
Editorial: Significant Science Education Research on Multicultural Science Education, Equity, and Social Justice
Mary M. Atwater
The purpose of this virtual issue of the Journal of Research in Science Teaching (JRST) is to identify science education conceptual and research articles published from 1980 to 2010 that focused on multicultural science education (MSE), equity (EQ), or social justice (SJ) that science education researchers and policy makers should ponder. These articles started a systematic movement, advanced a systematic movement, or broke new ground in science education research on MSE, EQ, or SJ. In response to the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s and 1970s, ethnic studies emerged as departments in higher education while in some institutions African American Studies, Latino Studies, and Native American Studies emerged as departments or institutes. In colleges and schools of education multicultural education (ME) emerged as a field of study. As ME began to mature as an academic discipline, theoretical perspectives such as critical theory, critical multiculturalism, and concepts such as EQ and SJ were incorporated. However, it took time for educational research disciplines to embrace ME. One of the first disciplines to embrace ME was social studies education; one of the last disciplines was science education. Eventually, conceptual papers and research studies began to be published in science education. However, in science education researchers used a variety of terms to denote the ideas found in the ME. Key words such as MSE, EQ, and SJ are used to describe conceptual papers and research studies in science education. Since a variety of terms are used to denote research related to culture, race, and ethnicity, it is important that science education researchers have the opportunity to know what publications in JRST are deemed those that broke new ground or started and advanced a systematic movement for studying cultural, EQ, and SJ issues in science education.
Social constructivism: Infusion into multicultural science research agenda
Mary M. Atwater
This article focuses on (a) theoretical underpinnings of social constructivism and multicultural education and (b) aspects of social constructivism that can provide frameworks for research in multicultural science education. According to the author, multicultural science education is "a field of inquiry with constructs, methodologies, and processes aimed at providing equitable opportunities for all students to learn quality science." Multicultural science education research continues to be influenced by class, culture, disability, ethnicity, gender, and different lifestyles; however, another appropriate epistemology for this area of research is social constructivism. The essence of social constructivism and its implications for multicultural science education research includes an understanding of whatever realities might be constructed by individuals from various cultural groups and how these realities can be reconstituted, if necessary, to include a scientific reality. Hence, multicultural science education should be a field of study in which many science education researchers are generating new knowledge. The author strives to persuade other researchers to expand their research and teaching efforts into multicultural science education, a blending of social constructivism with multicultural science education. This blending is illustrated in the final section of this article.
Strategies for counterresistance: Toward sociotransformative constructivism and learning to teach science for diversity and for understanding
Alberto J. Rodriguez
This article reports on two types of resistance by preservice science teachers: resistance to ideological change and resistance to pedagogical change. The former has to do with the feelings of disbelief, defensiveness, guilt, and shame that Anglo-European preservice teachers experience when they are asked to confront racism and other oppressive social norms in class discussions. Resistance to pedagogical change has to do with the roles that preservice teachers feel they need to play to manage conflicting messages about what they are expected to do from their cooperating teachers (cover the curriculum and maintain class control) and from their university supervisors (implement student-centered, constructivist class activities), and about what they desire to do as emerging teachers. Although these two forms of resistance are closely linked, in the literature they are extensively reported separately. This study suggests a sociotransformative constructivist orientation as a vehicle to link multicultural education and social constructivist theoretical frameworks. By using this orientation, specific pedagogical strategies for counterresistance were found effective in helping preservice teachers learn to teach for diversity and understanding. These strategies for counterresistance were primarily drawn from the qualitative analysis of a yearlong project with secondary science preservice teachers.
Cross-cultural science education: A cognitive explanation of cultural phenomena
Glen S. Aikenhead and Olugbemiro J. Jegede
Recent developments in concept learning and in science-for-all curricula have stimulated our interest in two fields of study: how students move between their everyday life-world and the world of school science, and how students deal with cognitive conflicts between those two worlds. In the first field of study, Aikenhead conceptualized the transition between a student's life-world and school science as a cultural border crossing. In the second field, Jegede explained cognitive conflicts arising from cultural differences between students' life-world and school science in terms of collateral learning. This article (a) synthesizes cultural border crossing with its cognitive explanation (collateral learning) and (b) demonstrates by its example the efficacy of reanalyzing interpretive data published in other articles. The synthesis provides new intellectual tools with which to understand science for all in 21st-century science classrooms in developing and industrialized countries.
The culture of power and science education: Learning from Miguel
Angela Calabrese Barton and Kimberley Yang
In this paper we begin a discussion around the need for science educators to understand the relationship between cultural and socioeconomic issues and the science education of inner-city students. We refer to the works of critical scholars in science, education, and sociology in order to help us deconstruct the relationship between sociopolitical agendas and the lack of opportunity in science education for students from lower socioeconomic inner-city enclaves. Through our ethnographic case study of a homeless family in a major metropolitan area in the Northeast, we frame our analysis through the pedagogical questions of representation of science through culture, socioeconomic status, and "culture capital." We use this analysis to raise questions for further research on the significance of understanding, accessing, and critiquing the "culture of power" in science education.

Seaway Crude Pipeline Company LLC, a 50-50 joint venture owned by affiliates of Enterprise Products Partners LP and Enbridge Inc., has mechanically completed the 512-mile loop of the Seaway crude oil pipeline system that reaches from Cushing, Okla., to the Jones Creek storage and terminal facility near Freeport, Tex.
The 30-in. pipeline is expected to more than double to 850,000 b/d the capacity of the Seaway system (OGJ Online, Mar. 27, 2012; OGJ, Feb. 3, 2014, p. 93).
The Jones Creek facility is connected to EPP's ECHO crude oil storage facility in Houston via a 65-mile, 36-in. pipeline. The companies say construction of a 100-mile, 30-in. pipeline from ECHO to Beaumont-Port Arthur, Tex., is expected to be completed in July. Commissioning of the Seaway loop, as well as the pipeline from ECHO to Beaumont-Port Arthur, will continue throughout the third quarter.
Along with the pipeline that transports crude oil from Cushing to the Gulf Coast, the Seaway system consists of a terminal and distribution network originating in Texas City, which serves refineries locally and in the Houston area. The Seaway system also includes dock facilities at Freeport and Texas City.

Mark Kozelek's music has mutated pretty significantly over the arc of his now-20-year-old career, but the visual aesthetic associated with his music has remained remarkably consistent, even single-minded. Seriously, look at all his album covers lined up against one another — you wouldn't be faulted for thinking they all came from the same photographer, if not the same roll of film! (Or the same Instagram library, whatever.) That aesthetic — soft-focused, near-sepia B&W images of empty structures or barren landscapes — was applied, to some degree, to the 2011 Koz documentary, On Tour, but it's taken to an unusual extreme in the clip for "Black Kite," from Sun Kil Moon's superb Among The Leaves. Bleak as hell and totally beautiful just the same. Kinda makes you wonder about the man's inner life — if, y'know, the songs didn't spell that shit out in explicit detail. Watch it.
Among The Leaves is out now on Caldo Verde.

The US economy emerged on a global scale at the end of the Industrial Revolution in part due to the US auto industry. Popular trivia says that Henry Ford manufactured the first mass-produced cars on an assembly line, but in fact it was Ransom Eli Olds with his Oldsmobiles. He pioneered the process to mass-production via specialization and a moving assembly line. Either way, American cars have long been a sense of pride in the US, and have endured as one of the country's economic cornerstones.
American cars personify America and its people. Loud, large, powerful, and over-consuming, they are fitting in a country that prides itself on doing things its own way. They typify a nation that is self-sufficient and independent; one that is unashamedly different and bold. American cars are central to the identity and even ego of Americana.
Rickety Model-T Fords worked in cities and farms alike. Jeeps led American troops through World War Two trenches. Flamboyant '57 Chevys took high school kids to drive-in movies and drive-through burger joints. Muscle cars of the 60s and 70s such as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Corvette, and even the Oldsmobile 442 were every teenager's dream. Bo and Like of the Dukes of Hazzard drove a 1969 Dodge Charger, ingraining the shape and sound of that car into the minds of millions. NASCAR was one of the fastest-growing spectator sports of the 90s, and these all-American cars could reach the same speeds as Formula 1 cars.
Suffice to say, American cars are ingrained in American culture, and have been for a hundred years. They are American culture. So the prospect of the Big Three going bankrupt or dying off is terrifying to many Americans. Certainly, this is exactly how the auto manufactures want it, and these fear tactics are part of their case in a bid to get a US $34 billion bailout. (Although Mark Zandy, from Economy.com estimates this figure to be closer to $125 billion).
But resistance from both the public and Congress is strong. Many complain that these US manufacturers have been producing inferior-quality products which consume too much fuel and they therefore don't deserve a bailout.
It's not fair that millions of average working Americans – that have for so many generations supported the good old American auto industry – have to suffer when petrol prices increase because their 1989 7.4L Suburban only gets 11 miles to the gallon. Being loyal has its price – much more fuel-efficient models are available – but most are made in Japan.
Even Tennessee's republican senator Bob Corker echoed this sentiment, suggesting that these automakers do not deserve the rescue after consistently lagging far behind more efficient and better-made foreign brands. He questioned why US taxpayers should bail out Chrysler when the private equity institution that commands 80% of the firm was not willing to put any more of its cash in.
The Big Three didn't help their case when their CEOs took private jets to DC to plead their case. New York Representative David Ackerman told the CEOs of GM, Chrysler, and Ford, "There is a delicious irony in seeing private luxury jets flying into Washington, D.C., and people coming off of them with tin cups in their hand, saying that they're going to be trimming down and streamlining their businesses." This was at a hearing of the House Financial Services Committee.
"It's almost like seeing a guy show up at the soup kitchen in high hat and tuxedo. It kind of makes you a little bit suspicious. Couldn't you all have downgraded to first class or jet-pooled or something to get here? It would have at least sent a message that you do get it."
Michael Moore, the highly controversial, opinionated liberal political commentator is unusually conflicted. As the son of automotive assembly-line worker from Flint, Michigan, the heart of the US auto industry, the failure of GM, Ford, or Chrysler is certainly not what he wants. But Moore insists these manufacturers have not been producing what Americans want – it has been more of an attitude of 'you buy what we make'.

BA Pulls No Punches About Bertram/Woolworths Merger Decision
The Bookseller reports that The Booksellers Association has hit out at the Competition Commission's decision to green light the acquisition of Bertrams by Woolworths. Woolies will now press on with a merger of THE with Bertrams, with the restructure expected to take six months. The BA said that 85% of its members had come out against a merger. "Many of our smaller members felt that they were particularly vulnerable should this acquisition proceed," said c.e.o. Tim Godfray.
Pat Seward, owner of the Carnforth Bookshop in Lancashire, said she was "disappointed but not surprised" by the ruling. "I can't see the merger doing anything other than taking away competition," she said. But tThe CC admonished wholesalers for misleading statements. They initially told the CC that they never reduced discount rates to individual retailers. This was found to be untrue, in particular when retailers switched preferred accounts. "We drew our serious concerns about the misleading nature of the statements made to us to the attention of the parties and their advisers," the CC said.

My research focuses on the intersections of religion, law, and gender, and I do fieldwork in East Africa and in Utah. Since 1999, I have done ethnographic research on Islamic courts in Zanzibar, Tanzania. My work in Zanzibar has focused primarily on the way lay people and legal professionals understand, interpret, and use Islamic legal ideas in marital disputes. I work both in and out of courts, and I am particularly interested in how Islamic judges, called kadhis, and litigants reason using not only their understandings of Islamic law but also their views of real and ideal marital behavior, patterns of local authority, and the role of Islamic courts in present-day Zanzibar. Presently, I am conducting research in northern Utah on the way in which both LDS and non-LDS women think about marriage vis-a-vis ideas and practices associated with Mormonism. In the future, I plan to return to working in East Africa with a project on Islamic law and marital disputing among Muslims in Ethiopia.

Using ropes, four men try to prepare a load to be taken onto the ship. Three men in broad-brimmed hats stand supervising on the left, while other sailors await the goods or attend to other vessels. Using brown ink, Willem van de Velde the Elder outlined the boats and gave definition to ropes and shipping tackle. In contrast, he used a blue-gray wash to give volume and depth, using only a few simple strokes to suggest the folds of the sails. Building up the human figures by blending wash and ink, he made quick, sure lines that evoke each gesture and costume without many specific details. As the official artist for the Dutch fleet for many years, van de Velde often recorded such scenes of the bustling activity of marine life. Someone extensively incised the drawing for transfer, even down to the fine details, but no related copy is known today.
