A report looking at public high school graduates taking Advanced Placement exams finds that more students in New York are taking them than a decade ago.
In New York, 38 percent of 2013 public high school graduates took an AP exam during high school. That's up from 31 percent in 2003.
The College Board, which runs the exams, is issuing its annual report on the program Tuesday. The report looks at every state.
AP exams offer high school students a chance to earn college credits.
The report finds the percentage of black and Latino high school students in New York taking the exam has gone up since the previous year.
State education official Ken Slentz says the increased number of exam takers is encouraging but more needs to be done.

Dr. Jill Prushiek Receives
Friend of Education Award
MAILED: June 6, 2002
EAU CLAIRE — Dr. Jill Prushiek, associate professor and coordinator of field experience for the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire School of Education, received a Friend of Education Award at the Eau Claire Area School District 2002 Celebration of Service Banquet on May 22.
The Eau Claire Association of Educators has presented the award at the banquet, attended this year by 350 school board and district administration members, association officers, teachers and retirees, for more than a decade. The award recognizes Prushiek for her "dedication and hard work on behalf of students in the Eau Claire Schools."
Fred Poss, a Memorial High School veteran English teacher and second vice president of the ECAE, presented the award.
"Jill's personal skills as a listener, communicator, and problem-solver are outstanding, and these skills are essential in the art and science of placing student teachers, " said Poss. "Jill has also come forward as a volunteer who collaborates with our association and the school district in organizing and presenting workshops on mentoring, new teacher induction and new teacher support seminars. As chair of the DPI's state committee for the Initial Educator License for the past three years, I have seen firsthand the dedication, professionalism and depth of knowledge which Jill Prushiek possesses."
Prushiek said that collaborating with the Eau Claire School District to prepare future teachers has been an honor she has thoroughly enjoyed, and that she plans to continue with other projects. "The Eau Claire teachers are the finest people I have ever met," said Prushiek. "Our university is fortunate to work with such gifted teachers and administrators. I am truly grateful to the Eau Claire Educators Association for recognizing me with this award."

Christians of many stripes are scrambling to distance themselves, their religion, or their God from Republican comments about rape. The latest furor is about Washington State congressional candidate John Koster, who opposes abortion even in cases of rape and incest and added for good measure that "incest is so rare, I mean it's so rare." Before that, it was Indiana candidate Richard Mourdock, who said, "I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen" backed up by Texas senator John Cornyn insisting that "life is a gift from God." These men share the January sentiment of Rick Santorum: "the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you."
Those Christians who see the Bible as a human, historical document have the right to distance themselves. Those who see the Bible as the unique and perfect revelation of the Divine, essentially dictated by God to the writers, do not. The fact is, the perspective that God intends rape babies and that such pregnancies should be allowed to run their course is perfectly biblical.
I am not going to argue here that the Bible teaches that life begins at conception. It doesn't. The Bible writers had no concept of conception, and no Bible writer values the life of a fetus on par with the life of an infant or an older child. One does say that God knows us while we are developing in the womb, but another says he knows us even before. Levitical law prescribes a fine for a man who accidentally triggers a miscarriage. It is not the same as the penalty for manslaughter. Therapeutic abortion is never mentioned, nor is the status of the fetus that spontaneously aborts. Under Jewish law, a newborn isn't circumcised and blessed until he is eight days old, having clearly survived the high mortality peri-natal period. For centuries the Catholic Church believed that "ensoulment" occurred and a fetus became a person at the time of quickening or first movement, sometime during the second trimester.
However, if we take the viewpoint of biblical literalists and treat the Good Book as if it were authored by a single perfect, unchanging Deity, then a man is on solid ground thinking that rape babies are part of God's intentions. Consider the following Bible teachings:
The Bible never teaches that women should have a choice about sex. The Bible makes a clear distinction between forcible stranger rape and other forms of nonconsensual sex, condemning the former while sanctioning the latter in many, many circumstances. The fact that conservative Christians – or politicians who are pandering to a Conservative Christian base--keep fumbling with these distinctions is no accident. According to the commands of Yahweh, a man can give his daughters in marriage, keep concubines, have sex with his wife's servants, or claim a desirable war captive as his own sexual property after a series of rituals to purify her. In no case, including in the New Testament, is the woman's consent required for sexual contact.
Male female relationships in the Bible are determined by a property ethic. The punishments for rape have to do not with compassion or trauma to the woman herself but with honor, tribal purity, and a sense that a used woman is damaged goods. A woman herself may be killed for voluntarily giving up her purity. A rapist can be forced, essentially, to buy her. In the Ten Commandments, the prohibition against coveting a neighbor's wife is part of a broader prohibition against coveting property that belongs to another man: "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor" (Exodus 20:17NIV).

When the original Kick-Ass hit theaters in 2010, it had three things going for it: an inspired premise about an invisible high-school schnook (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) who becomes a DIY superhero; a gonzo performance by Nicolas Cage; and a pre-teen vigilante (Chloë Grace Moretz) with a raunchy mouth. Now, in writer/director Jeff Wadlow's witless and unnecessary sequel, all of those assets have been replaced with tone-deaf jokes and cringe-inducing carnage.
Picking up a few years after the cartoonishly clever events of the first film (which was directed by Matthew Vaughn, here in a producer role), Taylor-Johnson's Dave Lizewski is a high school senior who's hung up his lime-green unitard and Kick-Ass alter ego to focus on fitting in. Meanwhile, Moretz's Mindy Macready is now a hormone-addled teenage orphan grappling with Cage's dying wish that she leave her pain-inducing, pint-sized Hit Girl persona behind. Problem is, both of them are bored silly. They miss the thrill of street justice on the sly. While Mindy tries to make friends with a clique of popular mean girls swooning over boy bands and shopping sprees, Dave searches for new partners in crime-fighting and finds them in Justice Forever, a ragtag posse of hapless (and unfunny), spandex-clad wannabe enforcers led by Jim Carrey's sadistic Colonel Stars and Stripes. Carrey, who's publicly disavowed Kick-Ass 2's ultra violence in the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy, manages to bring some loose-screw electricity to the film. But he's right about the movie's overall tone. It glamorizes videogame-style bloodshed, never quite finding the line between satire and nihilism.
All heroes, whether they're blessed with supernatural gifts or not, require a villain, of course. And here, the film makes a misstep recycling Christopher Mintz-Plasse's Red Mist character from the original Kick-Ass and turning him into a lisping, bondage-gear-wearing baddie who christens himself ''The Motherf---er''. He's as painfully unfunny as his name. Will his evil plan to bring down Kick-Ass force Mindy to pick up her nunchucks and Hit Girl costume again? Take a wild guess. Moretz, who is 16 now, can't manufacture the same that's-so-wrong jolt she managed the first time around. Back then, it was hilariously taboo to see a little girl spout arias of profanity. Now, she's just another teenager swearing. Like the rest of the film, what was once shocking now just elicits a shrug. C

Tuesday's Small-Cap Winners & Losers
Domino's Pizza (DPZ) was among the losers in a generally bearish session for small-cap stocks, which slumped in concert with the major indices.
Shares of the pizza chain gave up 12.7% after it halved adjusted third-quarter earnings to 17 cents a share, or $11 million, compared with last year. Analysts were looking for 6 cents more per share, according to Thomson Financial. Revenue came to $337.3 million, or $13.3 million under consensus. Shares of the Ann Arbor, Mich., company were off $2.11 to $14.45.
That helped to sour the Russell 2000, which was down around 6 points, or 0.7%, to about 824. The S&P SmallCap 600 also sank about that much.
Occam Networks (OCNW), of Santa Barbara, Calif., plummeted 30% to $6.46 after the networking-equipment maker restated downward its financials for fiscal 2004 through 2006 following a review of its prior revenue-recognition practices. Its total loss for the period will widen by some $2.1 million, or 31 cents a share, to $23 million.Industrial Enterprises of America (IEAM), a purveyor of anti-freeze and other additives and chemicals, is conducting its own revenue-recognition policy review regarding "bill and hold" transactions as part of a larger accounting-practices evaluation. Shares of the New York company slid 17% to $3.31. Fuwei Films (FFHL), meanwhile, surrendered more than 21% after announcing that arrest warrants have been issued for major shareholders Jun Yin, Duo Wang and Tongju Zhou, for the suspected "crime of irregularities for favoritism and to sell state-owned assets at low prices." Fuwei first announced the related probe in June.

Welcome, Stefan!
Bill, you MUST spill the details on that 250 SWB GT!!
Bill, you MUST spill the details on that 250 SWB GT!!
Posted 09 July 2006 - 01:55 AM
Bill, you MUST spill the details on that 250 SWB GT!!
Details?? Hmmm.......age is settin' in, so let's see if I can remember that far back!
I built this Ferrari from around August of 1998 and finished it just before the Mid Atlantic NNL in May '99. The reason I can remember the date is because I wanted to build this specifically for that NNL.
The kit I used was the Italeri version which I think is the most accurate of all the 250 GT SWB versions. I was gonna use the Gunze kit.......but it's proportions were odd in places (kinda wide) and the ESCI kit was/is just plain wrong, wrong WRONG!!
I opened the doors and kept the window frames............in hindsight I would make these out of brass today, they're very delicate and have snapped a couple times.
The engine is Norm Veber's from Replica and Miniatures and was a kit in itself!! The engine took about 3 weeks to build and you have to follow the instructions to a T!
If you ever buy this engine kit I highly recommend you order an extra set of carb stacks because they are molded in a very thin resin...............once they drop on the floor, they're toast! I would also recommend that the engine have something very sturdy to stand on (a good engine base) as simply the engine turning over on it's side can damage the carbs.
The chassis was detailed as well as I knew at the time. Using photos loaned to me by Harold Bradford......he had pictures of a 250 GTO under restoration which showed the full underside of the car. 250 GTO and GT's were pretty much the same underneath save for the GTO's dry sump system.
I detailed the underside with fuel lines, brake lines, muffler clamps and brackets, and tried to use different shades of aluminum.
The floor was cut away and replaced with actual aluminum sheet.............the actual car is probably not that clean underneath, but I wanted to represent what a pristine restored car woud be like just finished from the shop.
BTW, I was trying replicate Sterling Moss's 1961 winner at Lemans that year, thus the markings on the car.
The interior was done using Reps and Mins interior set and real cherry wood steering wheel. The shifter comes in the engine kit, and the shifter ball was painted using Alclad.
The dash itself was converted from LHD to RHD as per the actual car...............this was tricky because I had to do some "reverse engineering" to get the gauges and switches in the right place. Likewise, I had to make sure the engine was also configured for RHD as the throttle position had to be in the right place. :mrgreen:
The Borrani wire wheels are Detail Masters........mounted on Monogram tires with the letters facing on the inside. The most difficult thing was mounting the wheels so that they all sit square on the ground.
I painted the model with Krylon Navy Blue, with their gray primer as a base. Even though the model was molded in red, I noticed no bleed through. After I let the body set for a couple weeks, I polished the body out with a polishing kit.
I can't remember where the roundels came from (someone may have given them too me) but the stripe across the nose was painted decal paper that was cut to fit.
All in all, this was a somewhat challenging kit to do but I do have another Italeri kit I would like to make a regular street version out of sometime.
Here's the link if you want to see larger full size pics............
Thanks for askin' Brian!
Posted 09 July 2006 - 05:14 AM
Wow....that is just beautiful!!!
I've built Italeri's 250 GTO, but I'd be embarassed to show it after seeing you 250 SWB.... Great work Bill, thanx for sharing it!!

Cheap Home Decor: Crafting with Paper

Quilled Photograph
By: Maureen Wilson
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
This Quilled Photograph from Maureen Wilson makes for a unique and original art piece. Using small strips of paper, this quilling tutorial teaches you how to create an image that looks distorted up close, but magically becomes clearer from farther away.
- Printed pattern
- Cardstock
- Tape
- Sakura Quickie Glue™ pen
- Craft plastic
- Skewer or quilling tool
- Clear spray sealant (recommended)
Shadowbox frame
First you'll need to make a pattern from a photograph. I'm using a free online tool at PerlerBeadsSnapshots.com. It's meant to be used for Perler iron beads, but it's also perfect for this project. Follow the directions online to upload your photograph. For best results, choose a picture with a solid background. Select the largest sheet size available so that your picture will have a lot of detail. The tool will create a printable file for you. It even makes a shopping list of the colors you'll need– but instead of buying beads, buy scrapbook paper to match the sample shades.
Print the pattern and tape together. Then tape a piece of clear craft plastic on top of the pattern. You'll be adhering the paper coils directly to the plastic.
For this project, we're doing the basic quilling technique of creating a tight coil. You can purchase special quilling tools that hold the end of your paper strip for you. If you plan on doing a lot of quilling in the future, you might want to buy one… but it isn't necessary, and I didn't use one for this project.
- You can also buy strips of pre-cut paper, but because we want our picture to be as close to the photograph as possible, it's best to buy individual sheets of paper and cut the strips yourself for a close match. Do not choose specialty paper that has a white core, it needs to be the same color all the way through.
Cut your paper into strips that are 1/8 of an inch wide, and about three inches long. You want the finished coil to be the same size as the circles on your pattern.
To make a coil, wrap a strip of paper tightly around a barbecue skewer. Roll the paper directly on top of itself like a cinnamon roll.
Then scribble on the end of the paper strip with a Quickie Glue™ pen. Press the end of the paper down to finish the coil. Hold for a few seconds until the paper has adhered. You can do this with the coil off or on the skewer, it doesn't really matter.
Color in the coordinating circle on your pattern with the Quickie Glue™ pen. Fill in the dot just like you would on a test, filling it completely. The glue is blue but dries clear, so it's easy to apply it precisely where you want it. Press the coil down on the plastic and wait for a few seconds to allow it to dry.
Coil and glue, filling in all of the dots on your pattern with the correct shade of paper. I decided to make mine 10×10 inches so it could fit in a 12×12 frame with a border.
Now you can remove the pattern.
It's a good idea to use a clear spray sealant to complete your project. This adds another light layer of adhesion to prevent any paper pieces from becoming loose in the future. I chose a matte spray to lessen some of the plastic's shine.
- Mount your finished project onto a sheet of cardstock and frame it. Because this project is dimensional, it's best to use a shadowbox frame.

The child molestation charges against Michael Jackson are ''predicated on a big lie.'' So says the singer in his latest statement, made via a new website he's launched to send messages directly to fans. ''I have set up this website to serve as a source of official communications on my case,'' he says in a brief letter posted this weekend on the site, called The Official Press Room. ''Any statement that does not appear on this website must be considered unauthorized.''
The self-styled King of Pop adds that many of those claiming to speak on his behalf are not to be trusted. ''You are right to be skeptical of some of the individuals who are being identified in the mass media as my friends, spokespeople, and attorneys,'' he says. ''With few exceptions, most of them are simply filling a desperate void in our culture that equates visibility with insight. We will not engage in speculation. We will not provide running commentary on every new development or allegation du jour. We intend to try our case in the courtroom, not in the public or the media.''
Visitors to the site, which also contains an archive of official statements released since news broke last Tuesday that he was being investigated for allegedly molesting a 12-year-old boy at Neverland, should not expect frequent messages from Jackson, he suggests. ''Because the charges are so serious, I hope you all will understand, on the advice of my attorneys, I will be limited in what I can say about the situation,'' he writes. ''There will be times when I cannot comment at all. No doubt, this will be frustrating for all of us.'' At the end of the day, however, he says he expects to be vindicated, ''and we will be able to put this horrible time behind us.''

Not so long ago, on the doorstep of 2012, the Big Ten and the Pac-12 seemed to be nearing an agreement that would connect them on the football field for the formidable future. Both conferences needed something to help them unseat the almighty SEC, which has dominated the college football landscape and won the last seven national championships.
In the one year since then, after the agreement failed due to logistic matters and both conferences gave up on the dream of bringing college football its first regular season conference vs. conference matchup series, the Pac-12 and Big Ten have gone in drastically different directions.

History, with all The Dust Blown Off
Traveling into the past is a thrill when you ride with Harley-Davidson.
"Harley-Davidson export business has reached that stage where the specially constructed foreign crates can be seen leaving the factory shipping door almost every day of the week." The Harley-Davidson Dealer, April 1914
International export became an important part of Harley-Davidson's business very early in its history. The Motor Company had representatives in such far-flung places as Australia, Holland, South Africa, and Argentina by the mid-teens and aggressively expanded its international operations through the 1920s and '30s.
Though Harley-Davidson motorcycles were occasionally imported throughout the 1910s, the brand gained a real foothold in Japan in 1924, when A.R. Child established a company branch in Tokyo. The bikes became popular among both civilians and government agencies like the Imperial Guard. This image is of the back cover of the Japanese version of the 1928 model catalog that is currently on display in the Museum. That same year, in addition to English, the company also published product literature in Chinese, Czech, Swedish, French, German, Italian, and Dutch.

Name: Jason May
Favorite unit/class at ICASI and why: Culinary Arts Basic Technique 2 was my favorite, but individual course by far was our Pasta Workshop during that quarter. With my love of all things Italian, it has always been extremely difficult to find a good teacher that knows and loves that food and it's culture. Most chefs I have worked for and with are trained in the French techniques. Working with Loretta really opened my eyes to understanding cultural differences in Italian cuisine.
Favorite instructor or administrator and why (if you have one): Chef Goran was by far my favorite. He was amazing with us and really showed us many aspects to the culinary field. He would show us multiple ways to make each recipe, so instead of learning just one way to do one recipe, we learned several ways to do it. This allowed us to personalize and customize our skill set, and to better understand the food itself.
Why did you chose ICASI?: Honestly, I chose it because it was close to home. While it was less expensive than the bigger culinary institutes, those would have actually been easier to get into since they allowed federal funding. I worked very hard and used a lot of my savings to be able to go to ICASI, because I realized after meeting with Chef Tim McCoy and Chef Stefanie Paganini, that we would get a wide range of skills, and that the administration cared about the students.
Most important thing you learned from ICASI: Besides from the culinary skills, really the most important thing I learned was execution and teamwork. I was blessed to have a wonderful partner in my class, as it was just the two of us, and to be able to pull off all the recipes day in and day out, it took a lot of teamwork and dedication to the craft. That is how it works in the real world, I know from experience. The teachers encouraged this atmosphere. And understanding execution is another very important life skill. It does not matter if you are sick, are having a bad day, or do not like what you are cooking, you absolutely must execute the dish. That sounds rudimentary, but it is culinary gospel.
What was your ICASI experience like?: It was great. While stressful, I am a firm believer that stress builds character, and character is seen in your food. I am extremely proud to call some of the teachers and administrators my friends and mentors. Even teachers that I only was around for a couple weeks will still call me and ask how I am doing, and try to give me opportunities. That is amazing in the world we live in today. I gained everything I expected from my experience, and more.
How were the other students?: The other student in my class was great. She is a sister to me now, and we were like peas in a pod. Our life situations were similar and our desire to switch fields once and for all were the same. We also got to work with another student from the daytime, and I consider him a close friend of mine. His experience was extremely beneficial to all of us. The students I had a chance to meet, they were amazing people, and I will always be friends with them.
How were the instructors?: The instructors treated us like their children, their friends and their colleagues. They were what made the experience worthwhile. We were lucky to have multiple teachers, so we had many different views and backgrounds before us. They all cared about what they were doing, and all had very important lessons to share. No matter what anyone says about them, good or bad, the simple fact of the matter is that they cared, and that is special.
How was the administration?: The administrators were top notch. Nobody looked out for me more than Marilyn did. Either helping with classes, lining up work, making sure we were on the right track, and just being there for us. That is something that I feel is invaluable to a student. Sometimes when faced with a lot of work, students will get a mentality that the administration might be out to get you, since they are the ones making things difficult. They forget that the reason they do it is so that you can test yourself and become more than you already are. And the administration was always there to remind us of that, and help us when things were hard. Nowhere else do you find that.
Did ICASI help you in your career?: Absolutely it did. While I have always been a man of many different fields, when it comes to culinary, I am so much more polished and confident in what I do than before I took the course. Besides the thousands of recipes we have and know well, Chef Tim McCoy above all else taught us how to adapt recipes into our own creations. How to be our own person when it comes to cooking. This has been the cornerstone of my career development with my own catering business.
What advice do you have for future students?: Make sure that when you decide to take classes here that you are prepared to learn. Just like real life, if you give little effort, you will get little in return. Those that love the culinary field will strive. If you do not, consider another career and another school. ICASI will take what you put into it, and give back much more. Expect hard work, enjoy hard work, and strive for perfection. Nothing is handed to you, especially in the culinary field, and the same can be said for ICASI. Take advantage of your opportunity.

Andrea Angelini
Andrea Angelini, born in Rome, studied to be a mechanical engineer. After working as a flight technician for Alitalia, he realized he wanted a life of travel and moved to Mexico, where he worked in tourism, traveling around Central America and honing his Spanish skills. Returning to Italy, he worked for tour agencies across western and eastern Europe. "My years of leading adventure tours have given me the chance to meet people from all around the world and learn about their cultures. In return, I hope that I can bring people a sense of deep contact with Italy's culture and its history (mostly Roman, of course!)." Andrea loves the mountains and the outdoors. He learned to ski at a young age from his grandfather, a master ski instructor, and also enjoys spending leisure time fly fishing in mountain streams. When not guiding, he resides with his children in the small fortified Umbrian village where his grandparents were born.

Long Island, a 167-ton steam trawler, was built in 1912 at Rockland, Maine. She was purchased by the Navy in April 1917 and commissioned the next month as USS Long Island (SP-572). Through World War I she served as a harbor patrol vessel, minesweeper and icebreaker, mainly in the Boston area. In March-April 1918, she made an ocean voyage, escorting a submarine chaser to Bermuda. A few months after the end of hostilities, Long Island was assigned duty as a temporary lightship off Charleston, South Carolina. In June 1919 she began two months' of operations along the Atlantic coast between Hampton Roads, Virginia, and Boston. USS Long Island was decommissioned in September 1919 and sold the following December.
This page features our only view of the steam trawler Long Island, which served as USS Long Island (SP-572) in 1917-1919.

Chelsea v Arsenal: Key battles
Chelsea welcome Arsenal to Stamford Bridge on Sunday as they look to arrest a worrying slump in home form.
Here, Press Association Sport looks at the battles which could prove decisive in the London derby.
DEMBA BA v THOMAS VERMAELEN
Ba should get the nod over Fernando Torres despite worries about the Senegalese's persistent knee injury. Ba has been in fine form since his move from Newcastle, scoring three goals in three starts whereas Vermaelen has struggled to get the consistency he displayed during his early days at Arsenal.
JOHN TERRY v THEO WALCOTT
At the other end of the pitch Theo Walcott will be hoping to put his pace to good use against Terry in what will be the defender's first start since November. Walcott has shown flashes of brilliance in the role of lone striker this term and Terry will need to be switched on if he is to stop the rapid forward.
FRANK LAMPARD v JACK WILSHERE
Wilshere underlined his importance to Arsenal on Wednesday night when he scored a superb winner in the FA Cup third-round replay against Swansea. Lampard, who has operated in a deeper role under Rafael Benitez, is also at the top of his game, however, and will want to remind the 21-year-old that he remains one of the most potent England midfielders around.

Keidel: Who's Manning The Helm Better Than Peyton?
It's not as toxic a topic as the New York/New Jersey border war, or as socially inflamed as the Richard Sherman saga. But, in a strictly sporting sense, it really is the topic du jour. If he wins Sunday's Super Bowl, is Peyton Manning the greatest quarterback in NFL history?
Patriots Divisional Round Tickets Are The Least Expensive In Four Years
Interestingly enough, New England Patriots tickets have been priced much higher for recent regular season matchups against the Colts. When these two teams met in November of 2012, tickets rang in at an average of $386 dollars– an 84% premium over this week's playoff game.
Bolts Look To Defy Odds Two Weekends In A Row
Being the sixth and final seed in the NFL playoffs usually means you're a sizable underdog. When it comes to the San Diego Chargers, that holds true a second weekend straight.
Odds Against Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos This Week
The Denver Broncos are arguably the best team in the NFL, but that doesn't mean they're going to win this week. In fact, many stats show Peyton Manning and his Broncos are more likely to lose than win, as the No. 1 seed against the No. 6 seeded San Diego Chargers.
Can Chargers Stymie Broncos In Denver Again?
Not many people expected the San Diego Chargers to go into Denver on a Thursday night last month and come away with a win. Now, can the Bolts do it all over again?

Three seasons ago, Peyton Manning sat on the sidelines with an injury that many thought may end his career. The Indianapolis Colts drafted Andrew Luck out of Stanford and the rebuilding was about to begin. Little did anyone realize that the rebuilding would start immediately.

Sports Verdict: Which Conference Will Win Super Bowl XLVIII? AFC Vs. NFC
Each team has just 16 chances to distinguish itself from the pack in order to secure a playoff spot and hopefully a bid in the Super Bowl. The question is, quite simply, will the Super Bowl champion emerge from the AFC or NFC?

Defender of the food dance is what that is ;)
He's trying to attract a female, he was successful, just the wrong species. He left when you didn't bust a move back.
I agree with Hollywood, he's defending his food source.

The most obscure Best Picture Oscar nominee - 'Amour'on January 25, 2013 @ 7:49 am (Updated: 8:00 am - 1/25/13 )
The French film "Amour" has already racked up a lot of honors, including the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, a Golden Globe, and now five Oscar nominations including best picture, actress, director and screenplay.
Of all the Oscar nominees up for Best Picture, the most obscure, I suppose, is the French film "Amour." But before you dismiss its chances out of hand, remember another French movie won last year. Sure it was mostly a silent, but still no one thought "The Artist" had a chance at first blush either.
That being said, "Amour" is never going to be a crowd pleaser.
For one thing, it's astonishingly narrow in its focus, and its subject matter is as severe and unpopular as one can imagine.
"Amour" painstakingly follows a long-married couple now in their eighties. They're relatively well-to-do former musicians who lead modestly active lives, reading the latest books and magazines, keeping up with current news of the day, and occasionally attending concerts by their former students. Most of their time is spent quietly in their apartment, doing the mundane work of living - eating breakfast together, talking and joking with each other, getting ready for bed. It's the definition of a shared life.
When the wife has a stroke, that dynamic changes some but not a lot. He helps her in and out of her wheelchair, in and out of bed, he washes her hair for her, but otherwise life goes back to normal. Or so it seems. Every so often, their conversations turn to matters personal and philosophical - about the beauty of life and about its limits. Those limits become more and more apparent as the movie proceeds.
At one point, a former student writes them a thank you note, calling his visit with them "a beautiful and sad moment." That's also a perfect grace note for this movie.
And the two veteran French movie stars are astonishingly believable as the old married couple. Emmanuelle Riva more than earned her surprise Oscar nomination for Best Actress. At 85, she's the oldest Oscar nominee ever. Here's hoping she becomes the oldest Oscar winner as well.

Definitions for supplication
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word supplication
Princeton's WordNet
invocation, supplication(noun)
a prayer asking God's help as part of a religious service
supplication, plea(noun)
a humble request for help from someone in authority
prayer, supplication(noun)
the act of communicating with a deity (especially as a petition or in adoration or contrition or thanksgiving)
"the priest sank to his knees in prayer"
An act of supplicating; a humble request.
A prayer or entreaty to a god.
Origin: From Old French supplication, from Latin supplicatio, from supplicare 'to supplicate'.
Webster Dictionary
the act of supplicating; humble and earnest prayer, as in worship
a humble petition; an earnest request; an entreaty
a religious solemnity observed in consequence of some military success, and also, in times of distress and danger, to avert the anger of the gods
Supplication is the most common form of prayer, wherein a person asks God to provide something, either for the person who is doing the praying or on behalf of someone else. This is because a supplication is being made, also known as intercession. In Christianity, the prayer of supplication for health by and on behalf of the sick is referenced in early Christian writings in the New Testament, especially James 5:13-16. One example of supplication is the Catholic ritual of novena wherein one repeatedly asks for the same favor over a period of nine days. This ritual began in Spain during the Middle Ages when a nine-day period of hymns and prayers led up to a Christmas feast, a period which ended with gift giving. A contemporary Christian example of supplication is the practice of the Daily Prayer for Peace by the Community of Christ where a member prays for peace each day at a specified time. Philippians 4:6 says, "Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." In Islam, the Arabic word duʻā is used to refer to supplications. Adʻiya may be made in any language, although there are many traditional Islamic supplications in Arabic, Persian and Turkish. In Islam, duʻā tends to mean personal prayer.

Resources: Usability in the Real World
Usability is not just about research and labs. It has a real impact on real projects in the real world.
UXPA collects case studies, news stories, facts and examples to help make the case that usability is a critical part of any product development effort.
The UXPA project on Usability
in the Enterprise
studies how usability is used and measured in industry.
In a 1990 paper, Claire Karat did a cost-benefit analysis that suggested that an investment in usability engineering can produce a return on investment in the range of 3:1 to 100:1.
The payoffs included:
- Fewer last-minute design changes
- Usable, appealing, and effective designs
- Simple, less costly documentation
- Credible marketing claims
- Compelling product demonstrations
- Increased sales
- Reduced need for customer support
- Longer market life

I am AACC: Khalid Srour, Student
Snapshot: Khalid Srour
Nickname: Kal
Hometown: Born in Jordan, moved to Nigeria at age 4
Age: 19
When Khalid Srour first came to AACC, he missed the enrollment deadline by a week. Considering he had just moved from Nigeria two days before, had no car or set place to live, and was operating on a six-hour time difference, he was graciously excused. The nineteen-year-old transplant, known as Kal ("like Cal Ripken but with a K"), is now thousands of miles away from home, preparing to transfer to a four-year college with hopes to become a doctor—all while leaning on his faith, independence, and perseverance.
"I wanted to be like my dad and go out and be independent," he says of his overseas transition. "The U.S. has the best education, especially in medicine and technology." He sent out his application to a number of community colleges that included Maine, Missouri, L.A., Kansas and Maryland.
"I picked community colleges because it was little bit cheaper," he says. "The first application acceptance was Anne Arundel and so I came here." After enrolling, he experienced his first day of American college, which he describes as exciting but also "the hardest day ever."
"It was a culture shock seeing a lot of people and having a lot of freedom," he says. "I didn't know anyone. The first couple of weeks I was trying to learn the different culture and society and see how they act to learn how to live with them." He apparently learned fast finding a place to live within walking distance from campus, getting a social security number, driver's license, car, and a cell phone within six months time. He then immediately immersed himself into as much student life as he could.
"That was my first thing to do—to be involved, to know people and socialize," he says and attributes this natural instinct to his culture in Nigeria. "We don't have movie theaters. There is no entertainment so people are closer to each other."
Within a year's time, Kal racked up quite an extracurricular resume. He was part of the Chemistry Club where he served as treasurer, vice-president of the biology club, student association representative, member of the student opinion form committee, International Student Association vice-president, and Phi Theta Kappa member—not to mention recipient of two Student Association leadership awards and made the deans' list three times.

Super Warmers - Long
You wanted them, now we have them! The Super Stripes we love are now available in a long, cozy leg warmer. These are lovely on their own or layered with tights, perfect for adding a unique touch to any outfit. Made in the USA.
Just over 28 inches long when unstretched. About 20 inches of stretch in the cuffs and at least 17 inches of stretch in the body. These work well as a knee high for larger legs.
Additional Info: We also have a short version!
Fiber Content: 65% recycled cotton, 15% acrylic, 20% spandex.
Machine or hand wash in cool to cold water, tumble dry low or hang to dry.
Our Plum/charcoal images were shot on "dead tracks" that are not open to trains or near tracks that are. Not only is it illegal to shoot on active tracks it is extremely dangerous... never put yourself, or your friends, at risk to get pictures involving train tracks.
Label: Dream Stockings
How come I can't add these to my wish list? There is no option for it.
I am looking for leg warmers for my VERY large calves (which are 26 inches at their widest point). My legs get very cold in the winter and finding knee socks or tights in my size is impossible. Thank you.
Do the Black and white truly stretch to 20 in the sock body or is it a bad batch right now as the reviews state? I have a 19" calf and really want some striped leg warmers!
I am always dreaming of different ways to show off my socks, whether they are the centerpiece of my outfit, or they're just peekin' through a rip in my jeans.

"It's 3am. Lord, it's 3am. My eyes feel scratchy, my mouth is dry and my back and legs ache from how I've been sat cross-legged and hunched over my control pad for what seems like a small age.
"I should go to bed. This is madness. I have work in the morning, deadlines to meet and my other half is getting sick of me burrowing back under the duvet when the morning alarm sounds off.
"But Gotham needs its protector. Its citizens cry out for justice. The bat signal glowers down at me above the broken spires and cracked rooftops of Arkham City. I can't turn in yet. There is still work to be done."
Batman: Arkham City is currently sitting with a 95 per cent rating on Metacritic. Out of the 65 critics who have reviewed it, 20 have given it a perfect score and over half of the rest of the reviewers score it above a 9/10.
It's been showered with praise from every quarter with critics waxing lyrical on everything from the new game mechanics, to the fantastic plot, to the addictive side-quests, to the incredible combat - which is awesomely deep when you consider it's mapped to just two buttons.
But it hasn't received enough praise, in my humble opinion, for one aspect that, funnily enough, hasn't appeared in one appraisal I've read about the game. This is a game that swallows the player to the extent that hours are reduced to time periods numbering mere minutes.
If you sit down to play this game clean-shaven, and then play it for what feels like ten minutes, you'll notice five days worth of stubble will have appeared on your face in the interim.
You see, Batman: Arkham City has the ability to bend time.
This is a fact as depressing as it is impressive. Earlier this year I signed up to a service called Raptr.com, which from what I can tell, is some sort of social network for gamers. I don't use it much, but it does send me notifications about what games I've been playing and the time I've spent playing them.
This week Raptr.com told me I'd spent 82 hours playing Batman: Arkham City. This should've shocked me. This should have prompted me to eject the game from my console and go for a walk in a park. Instead I shrugged and wondered how long it would be before I would have the chance to clock in 100 hours plus.
"The streets of Arkham City are swarming with brutal thugs, organised into gangs and terrorising the weak. Two-Face and The Penguin are warring for control of the streets. Joker's carved out a piece of turf for himself in the industrial sector. A gang war could get ugly, but that's not the whole of what I'm facing here."
"A hitman is at large in Arkham City and he's targeting innocent civilians. I know his M.O. and I know his weaknesses, but first, I have to find him. Phones ring out through the city, the killer on the other end of them mocking me, daring me to find him. There's the rest of Arkham's inmates. They're all here and they know I'm in their stamping grounds. It's a matter of time before one of them takes a shot at me."
"There's a serial killer is on the loose, leaving horribly disfigured bodies dumped in alleys. And then there's the strange, shadowy figure I've seen watching me from nearby rooftops. I don't have time to find out what his agenda is. I just know I can't let him get in my way."
"Time's running out. I've been poisoned by the Joker and I need to find an antidote before we both die.
The funny thing is, the colossal amount of time I've already thrown into this game doesn't feel like much.
