If you were a GM, which charismatic, power-hitting, Dominican outfielder would you rather have anchoring your lineup - the Red Sox Manny Ramirez or the Angels' Vladimir Guererro?
Manny puts up solid numbers on a more consistent basis, but Vladi is just as dangerous a bat, and has a lethal gun for an arm.
I watched Josh Beckett go up against Joe Saunders at Angels Stadium saturday, and asked the fans for their opinion before and after the game. Looks like Angel fans are honest after a beer or two.

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Development Issues (Released August 2001)
The debate over whether or not to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to drilling for oil and natural gas has raged for over 40 years. Throughout this time, industry representatives have argued that drilling would put a valuable untapped natural resource to good use, would allow us to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and could be undertaken with minimal disturbance of wildlife. Environmentalists have maintained that any intrusion would cause unacceptable damage to the arctic ecosystem, and have campaigned to designate the area as a wilderness, which would close the door on all future development.
The issue has been making more headlines recently because sharp increases in oil and natural gas prices have renewed developers' interest in the region, and because President Bush and his Secretary of the Interior, Gale Norton, support the idea of opening the ANWR to development.
On August 1st, the U.S. House of Representatives approved Bush's energy plan1, which opens a small portion of the ANWR to drilling for oil and gas. Bush's original proposal authorized drilling on 1.5 million acres of the refuge, but the House amended it to 2000 acres. The energy plan is expected to meet with heavy opposition when it enters the Democratic-controlled Senate this fall.
A discussion of the debate, including a history of the refuge and arguments for and against drilling, appears in Congressional Research Service report IB10073, The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: The Next Chapter (2001).
The ANWR was created in 1980 by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, which designated 19.3 million acres of land as a wildlife refuge. The land that was set aside included President Eisenhower's 8.9 million acre legacy, the Arctic National Wildlife Range. The Act also authorized a study of the ANWR's coastal plain to determine its potential for oil and gas development.2
This coastal plain, also called the '1002 area', lies at the heart of the controversy. The 1.5-million acre coastal plain is only 8% of the entire wildlife refuge, but it is the most biologically rich region in the ANWR. It provides habitat for over 200 species of animals, including musk-oxen, polar bears, grizzly bears, wolves, and migratory birds, and is the traditional calving grounds for the Porcupine Caribou Herd, a herd of 130,000 animals.3 This region, where wildlife is most abundant, is also where large amounts of oil are most likely to be found.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) surveyed the region in 1984-85, and published estimates in 1998 that there was a 95% chance of finding 11.6 billion barrels of oil in the 1002 area, and a 5% chance of finding 31.5 billion barrels or more. However, not all of this oil would be recoverable. There was a 95% chance that 4.3 billion barrels would be technically recoverable, and a 5% chance that 11.9 billion barrels would be technically recoverable. Not all the technically recoverable oil would be worth the cost of removal, since the cost is affected by the fluctuating price of oil, and by the amount of oil to be extracted (extraction is more cost-effective for larger amounts of oil). At a price of $24 a barrel, the USGS estimated a 95% chance that 2.0 billion barrels of economically-recoverable oil would be found, and a 5% chance that 9.4 billion barrels of economically-recoverable oil would be found.4
Many other estimates are quoted by industry experts and by environmentalists. The issue is frequently confused because some organizations quote figures for the entire assessment area, while others quote them only for the coastal plain, and some cite the entire predicted amount of oil, while others quote only the technically or economically recoverable portions.
Arctic Power, an Alaska-based organization dedicated to opening the ANWR coastal plain for drilling, states that drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge could yield up to 16 billion barrels of oil, the equivalent of "30 years of Middle East imports". This figure is the USGS estimate of all the technically recoverable oil that is present in the entire assessment area, the 1002 area and adjacent areas of the ANWR.5 The organization supports drilling based on its potential to increase the domestic oil and gas supply, create jobs, and reduce energy prices.
Meanwhile, the Alaska Wilderness League, a D.C. based environmental organization, states that the technically recoverable portion of oil may be no more than 148 million barrels, which would be not be worth the cost of its extraction, and maintains that the U.S. will remain dependent on foreign oil whether or not the Arctic Refuge Coastal Plain is drilled.6 The Wilderness Society, another D.C. environmental organization, estimates that according to the USGS survey, the ANWR would provide no more than a 6-month supply of oil to the U.S. (3.5 billion barrels), and that at the peak of production, oil from the refuge would amount to less than 2% of the U.S. demand.7
Two bills, distinct from Bush's energy plan, have been introduced to Congress to open the area for drilling, and two others have been introduced to designate it wilderness. Congress could also choose to do nothing, leaving the area with its current status as a wildlife refuge that is exempt from development.
Developers argue that drilling for oil in the ANWR would not harm wildlife. They point out that the Central Arctic Caribou Herd around the Prudhoe Bay oil field, on the coastal plain west of the ANWR, has increased in size during the three decades that the oil field has been under development, from about 6,000 caribou in 1970 to over 19,700 today. They suggest that likewise, development would not hurt the Porcupine Caribou Herd. They also note that new techniques of development, such as directional or slant drilling, roads built of ice instead of gravel, and oil pipelines with built-in safety measures to limit spills, will minimize the impact of development on the ANWR.5 Senator Frank H. Murkowski, Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and sponsor of one of the bills to open the ANWR for development, suggests that the area isn't "pristine" to begin with, since it contains the U.S. Military's Barter Island Distant Early Warning System for missile detection and the village of Kaktovik, home to 250 Inupiat people.8 These people and the residents of Alaska, by and large, support development, since it would revitalize the region's economy.
Environmental groups counter that the Central Arctic Herd is different from the Porcupine Caribou Herd, because it is a smaller, non-migratory herd that was able to shift to new calving grounds when drilling activities started in Prudhoe Bay, since the plain surrounding the Prudhoe Bay development is much larger than the ANWR coastal plain. Six times as many caribou use the ANWR coastal plain, and they have access to fewer alternative habitats if drilling displaces them from the coastal plain.6
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service states that although technological advances in oil and gas exploration and development have reduced some of the harmful environmental effects associated with those activities, oil and gas development remains an intrusive industrial process.9 Based on the results of limited winter exploration allowed on the coastal plain by Congress in 1984-85, the Fish and Wildlife Service predicts significant impacts from exploration alone on polar bears, musk oxen, and tundra vegetation. The noise, light, and human activity associated with seismic exploration could drive polar bears to abandon their dens. Musk oxen populations are predicted to drop by 25-50% due to displacement from their preferred winter habitat along rivers. In the winter, there is only enough water in the region to build 10 miles of ice roads, so permanent gravel roads and pads would be required.
If year-round drilling enters into force, disruptions could force the Porcupine Caribou Herd to calve in less desirable locations, reduce their access to forage before and during calving, and restrict their access to places to escape from insects. Development would take place in the same area that snow geese and many other species of migratory birds use for summer feeding, and could prevent them from being able to gain enough weight to migrate.9
Opponents of development frequently refer to the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound in 1989, which put the debate over the ANWR on hold for several years. According to CRS report IB10073, the accident caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of sea birds and 4,000-6,000 marine mammals, and caused an estimated $100 million in other losses. Environmentalists fear a comparable accident could hurt wildlife in the coastal plain.
Even without a major spill, development is predicted to cause local pollution, alteration of drainage patterns, and changes in vegetation.9 Other costs include small-scale toxic waste leaks, the creation of roads and pipelines, stripping of rivers and streambeds for gravel, construction of living quarters for thousands of workers, and the use of heavy equipment like planes, trucks, and bulldozers.7
According to CRS report IB10073, if the ANWR were opened for exploration and no economically-recoverable oil was found, the region would probably recover quickly. However, if major oil deposits were found, development could last for decades, and if deposits of economically-recoverable natural gas were found in association with the oil deposits, the region could be under development for a century. Environmental groups believe that under these circumstances, full recovery would be impossible.

PHILADELPHIA Ś The stateÆs high court on Wednesday halted PennsylvaniaÆs first scheduled execution in more than a decade, at least temporarily sparing the life of a man who says the two men he killed had molested him.
With hours remaining until Terrance ōTerryö WilliamsÆ death warrant expired, the state Supreme Court denied a last-minute appeal by Philadelphia prosecutors to overturn a lower court ruling and proceed with the execution.
The 46-year-old Williams, of Philadelphia, killed two men in his teens.
A state judge found late last week that prosecutors withheld evidence from WilliamsÆ capital murder trial in 1986, including evidence the victim in that case was molesting teen boys. Common Pleas Judge M. Teresa Sarmina tossed out WilliamsÆ death sentence on Friday but upheld his first-degree murder conviction.
But PhiladelphiaÆs district attorney appealed her ruling and wanted Williams executed before the death warrant expired at midnight Wednesday.
Williams has been on death row for nearly three decades. He would have been the first person executed in Pennsylvania in 50 years who had not given up his appeals.
WilliamsÆ lawyers spoke with him by phone Wednesday afternoon from outside the prison at Greene County, where heÆs on death row. He was never moved to the Centre County facility where he would have been executed.
ōHe was very relieved,ö said defense lawyer Shawn Nolan, one of several federal public defenders representing him. ōToday was a very scary day for Terry because the stay could have been lifted, and he could have been taken to Rockview and executed.ö
The lawyers argued that prosecutors had appealed only the stay of execution and not SarminaÆs decision to throw out the death sentence. If the state had executed Williams, it would have done so without a valid death sentence, they said in papers filed Wednesday morning.
District Attorney Seth Williams, no relation to the defendant, insists Terry Williams is the rare defendant deserving of the death penalty, and prosecutors complained in court papers Wednesday that his appeals have tied up the court system long enough.
ōI continue to believe that this defendant received an appropriate sentence and that his new claims are not true,ö Seth Williams said after WednesdayÆs ruling. ōThe Supreme Court will now have the time to look at all the facts.ö
Williams was 17 when he fatally stabbed a 50-year-old high school sports booster during a sex-linked argument at the manÆs apartment. He had turned 18 when he and a friend fatally beat a 56-year-old church deacon, Amos Norwood, in a cemetery five months later.
Williams, a gifted quarterback who led his high school to a city title, was having sex with men throughout his teens in exchange for money, gifts and clothes. He says Norwood had been sexually abusing him since he was 13. The jury heard only that Norwood was killed in a robbery. Sarmina relied on original police files she unearthed in ruling Friday that prosecutors had ōsanitizedö the real story, perhaps affecting the juryÆs decision to sentence Williams to death.
The Supreme Court will now ask for briefs as prosecutors appeal her finding.
Only three people have been executed in Pennsylvania since the U.S. Supreme Court restored the death penalty in 1976.
Gary Heidnik was executed in 1999 for the murders of two women he had imprisoned in his Philadelphia home. The others were executed in 1995: Leon Moser for the 1985 murders of his wife and two daughters in suburban Philadelphia; and Keith Zettlemoyer for the 1980 slaying of a friend who planned to testify against him in a robbery trial.
Associated Press writer Peter Jackson contributed to this report from Harrisburg, Pa.

So, what's this guy's story?
His name is Brian Dawe and he's a DJ from Florida, where Farrah resided for quite some time, but it sounds like they actually met at work. No, not THAT kind of work.
According to WetPaint, Brian was DJ-ing at an event in Orlando. Farrah was doing an appearance at the club that night and...the rest is history.
They have apparently been dating for quite some time now, but have been keeping their romance a secret.
When paparazzi photos of the duo finally emerged, Brian posted one of the articles on his Instagram with the caption "Well...I guess everyone knows now #surprise."
Yes, yes we do...and we also know WAY more than we ever wanted to about his leading lady, thanks to her recent...er, business endeavors.

In 2000, Arizona's pension funds were considered some of the healthiest in the nation. Just over a decade later, Arizona now has the dubious distinction of seeing the third worst decline in its pension fund health among the states from 2000 to 2009. For too long, policymakers and pension fund managers have assumed their investments would have endless high returns and little or no risk. The last decade and two recessions have proven otherwise, and Arizona's retirement systems are on shaky ground.
The chart below illustrates the stark reality. On an average yearly basis, benefits paid out in the state's four pension systems have increased much faster than inflation and population, GDP, or personal income growth. Contributions have risen even faster in all but one of the funds. Meanwhile, assets built up from past contributions and investment earnings have barely grown at all, with two of the funds seeing losses.
Source: Arizona pension plan Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports, author calculations
It may already be too late to avoid breaking promises to some retirees. After all, contributions to the pension systems have increased six times faster than the state's GDP. But to minimize the pain, action must be taken sooner than later. As soon as possible, new public employees must receive their retirement benefits only as 401(k) contributions. By doing so, we will avoid creating even more obligations that we can't meet and making promises we can't keep.

Village East Gifted is an enrichment program in Long Island, New York designed for those students who yearn for more challenging and creative enrichment experiences outside the classroom.
Our program provides gifted students with a place to go where they can be themselves. The dynamics of each age grouping establishes the pace, teaching approach and scope of classroom lessons and cooperative projects. Our students learn about the world around them from their perspective, at their pace and in as much depth as their minds determine.
Our Classes Village East Gifted holds enrichment classes after-school, evenings, over school vacations, weekends and throughout the summer. There are two semesters per academic year and a summer program offering enrichment topics and special courses. The school year sessions begin in October and end in May. The summer program runs from June through September. All age groupings (classes) run for two hours once a week. Class-size and schedule permitting, one class per semester can be "made up" by attending another same age grouping during the same session.
After-School Enrichment Program
Village East Gifted implements a challenging, writing-based, continuous, after-school enrichment curriculum for gifted and talented students ages 4-21. All VEG students are required to complete the Village East Gifted Core Curriculum in writing, grammar and syntax. This curriculum component is continuous, and creatively integrated into every new enrichment topic Level 1: Through VEG's innovative, "Dialectical Practices", students are first taught the "Rites of Writing" which includes the thorough implementation of VEG's grammar curriculum that "subliminally" teaches proper grammar, punctuation, accurate word usage, syntax, spelling, organizational strategies and a comprehensive editing component. Approximately 175 rules for usage and methods of grammar, punctuation and syntax are covered. Level 2: Once the students have mastered IB4E Levels 1-4, the interdisciplinary enrichment curriculum continues to introduce new topics while teaching ways of "unraveling"" the gifted students' innovative ideas, concepts and newly-learned facts into coherent and sequential written reports, oral presentations, reflective essays, news articles and short stories. An in-depth, detailed analyses of effective literary methodologies are reinforced helping the students to create perfect sentences.
Special Courses These courses below are additional core curriculum components that offered throughout the year in grades 5-12.
SAT ASAPThis class prepares the students for the following SAT test components: reading, vocabulary, writing and grammar Up to 1,000 vocabulary words are taught and permanently memorized using the Phillips RBM Approach to memorization. Mastery of the written word is achieved through creatively presenting a comprehensive grammar curriculum in the form of an engaging and humorous game of memorization, American Sign Language and dialectical practices.
SAT: Ivy League EssaysSpecifically designed for advanced gifted writers preparing for the SAT, this curriculum teaches strategies for extrapolating and organizing complex thoughts and facts transforming them into powerful essays. Innovative self-editing techniques are taught that are based on SAT standards for writing and composition.
SAT: Ivy League Vocab Level 1The students "permanently" memorize the definitions of approximately 400 SAT vocabulary words in six two-hour classes. Students are required to review newly learned words at home each week.
SAT: Ivy League Vocab Level 2This course is for VEG students who have completed Level 1. An additional 500 words are "permanently" memorized in six two-hour classes. Students are required to review previously learned words from Level 1 as well as the newly learned words at home each week.
Advanced Etymology: Level 1The students participate in an on-going class competition that involves the memorization of 65 Latin and Greek word roots as well as SAT vocabulary words. The course culminates with a challenging tournament, awards ceremony and an ice cream reception.
Advanced Etymology: Level 2-4This course is for VEG students who have completed Level 1. Approximately 300 additional words roots and SAT words are taught including a comprehensive study of scientific, anatomical and medical terminologies.
Odyssey of the Mind CompetitionOdyssey of the Mind is an international, creative problem-solving competition. The Village East Gifted Teams meet once a week for up to three hours. The teams have approximately five months to complete their "performance solution". These classes increase in duration to help the students prepare for the competition day.
After-School EnrichmentVEG's New 2013-2014 Curriculum Component: The Study of Advanced Geography This year, in addition to VEG's challenging and innovative enrichment program that continuously emphasizes the mastery the spoken and written word, a sorely needed curriculum will be introduced involving an in-depth study of advanced geography. Facts about our continents and their political borders, capital cities, cultural characteristics, famous landmarks and topographical features will be taught and memorized forever using the Phillips RBM Approach (Reawakening Brilliant Minds). Simultaneously, the significance of "relative locations" will be analyzed revealing the underlying reasons for the interconnection of geographical phenomena.
Grades K - 1 ("K1 Squared Program") This class consists of gifted and talented young students in kindergarten through first grade, some of whom are reading and writing on a second grade level and exhibit characteristics of "giftedness" as determined by outside professional assessments or VEG. K1-Squared students attend one class a week for two hours. The curriculum continues for the entire school year with the exception of school holidays and the summer break. (Private enrichment tutoring is available for students who are not yet reading or writing.) All the lessons are interdisciplinary and include higher level learning in any of the following subject areas and/or topics: mathematics, spelling, grammar, writing, geography, social studies, reading, art, science, vocabulary enrichment, linguistics, environmental studies, current events, Latin and Greek word roots, problem-solving, cooperative decision making, computer word processing, graphic design, music and community service. In addition, the students begin learning the basic components of morphology, orthography, homophony, figurative language usage as well as some of the mechanical conventions in written compositions.
Grades 2 - 11 (VEG Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior) VEG Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior age groupings attend classes once a week for two hours. The curriculum continues for the entire school year with the exception of school holidays and the summer break. All material taught is "writing-based" and contains state-mandated core subject content. While engaged in an extremely challenging program-wide, academic competition, our students learn to analyze common and unique aspects of the English language, practical mathematics, problem-solving, foreign language, Latin and Greek Etymology, geography and global studies and the works of internationally acclaimed masters of the arts. Simultaneously, enrichment topics are taught and class projects are assigned involving in-depth analyses of new topics and the use of advanced study skills and research methodologies. Level 1: Each class uses " VEG dialectical practices", to teach the fundamentals of "reflectional" morphology, orthography, homophony, sentence diagramming, figurative language usage and the mechanical conventions in written compositions. The remaining class time is devoted to using the newly- learned skills to research new topics and create advanced, grammatically-correct literary works and/or special presentations. Level 2: This curriculum teaches gifted and talented students how to utilize their newly mastered skills to generate and organize their complex ideas into coherent, sequential essays based on the AP English curriculum (i.e. critical, persuasive, narrative, argumentative, descriptive, expository, reflective, comparative, cause/effect, essays for college admissions). Additionally, the VEG Freshman (Grades 2-3) and VEG Sophomores (Grades 4-6) learn about a variety of challenging topics while continuing to master their ability to write well. Level 3: This class is for gifted and talented high school students who are taking the SAT within the year. The students memorize over 1000 SAT vocabulary words while also perfecting their writing, reading and listening skills in preparation for the exam.
Weekend Enrichment Village East Gifted provides after-school enrichment and private tutoring during the week and weekends. Sunday is considered a "VEG School Day". Most grade groupings have the opportunity to attend classes on Sundays rather than, or in addition to, weekdays. Village East Gifted's mission is to enrich every qualified, gifted child that comes our way. Working parents often prefer that their children attend classes on weekends so they can be a part of their child's enrichment experience.
Odyssey of the Mind "The Odyssey of the Mind teaches students to learn creative problem-solving methods while having fun in the process. For more than twenty five years, this unique program has helped teachers generate excitement in their students. By tapping into creativity, and through encouraging imaginative paths to problem-solving, students learn skills that will provide them with the ability to solve problems -- great and small -- for a lifetime. The Odyssey of the Mind teaches students how to think divergently by providing open-ended problems that appeal to a wide range of interests. Students learn how to identify challenges and to think creatively to solve those problems. They are free to express their ideas and suggestions without fear of criticism. The creative problem-solving process rewards thinking "outside of the box." While conventional thinking has an important place in a well-rounded education, students need to learn how to think creatively and productively."(1) (1)Odyssey of the Mind web site @ http://www.odysseyofthemind.com/learn_more.php "The Odyssey of the Mind is truly a worldwide competition. Participants include teams from Argentina, Australia, Belarus, Canada, China, Czech Republic, DoDDS Europe, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Mexico, Moldova, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan, and practically every state in the U.S. The annual Odyssey of the Mind World Finals is an event to behold. It embodies the international spirit of creativity!"(2) (2) Odyssey of the Mind web site @ http://www.odysseyofthemind.com/learn_more.php Every other year, Village East Gifted brings teams to the Odyssey of The Mind Long Island Competition. Each VEG team is given five months to derive a "solution performance" based on a particular long term problem. Problem-solving classes, coaching sessions and rehearsals are held each week. All new students must qualify for the Village East Gifted after-school enrichment program in order to join a team. Students must also be enrolled in at least one other Village East Gifted after-school enrichment class in order to participate.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Big Boy!
Facts about Big Boy
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Gray Or Blue (Mostly)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Long
Big Boy's Info...
I am up to date with shots and good with cats.
Big Boy is so named since he is the biggest in his litter. He is currently about 10 weeks. His hair is long and super soft. He is going to be a very handsome kitty when he is full grown! Him and his siblings were living outside at a local trailer park. They are still getting used to living in a house but are turning out to be super sweet boys.
Adoption donation is $65. He is Leukemia negative, current on shots, wormed and flea treated. We do offer a low cost neuter plan for an additional $30. Ask for details.
Contact Patty at 724-547-6421 if you are interested in adopting Big Boy. You can also email Patty at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Other Pets at Animal Keepers Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Big Boy, a Acme Domestic Longhair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Acme, or seeking a Domestic Longhair kitten from a breeder in Acme.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Acme already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Acme breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Acme paves the way for another one to be saved.

by David Porter, AIA
How do you . . . get students interested in design and instruction careers?
Summary: David Porter of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., an AIA member since 1981, has found an enriching way of giving back to his community through his architectural and construction experience by becoming involved in "construction academies," beginning with two high schools in his area.
David Porter. Images courtesy of David Porter, AIA.
About four years ago, through another county school board committee I now chair, I was asked to volunteer "some time" to help out some recently formed construction academies at two of our high schools. The concept was something along the lines of the vo-tech we probably all remember of wood shop and metal shop classes but incorporating a much bigger sense of reality.
These construction academies in Florida—at Seminole Ridge High School in Loxahatchee and Atlantic High School in Delray Beach—were founded on the model that the construction the students are taught should be taken out of the shop and into the real world where the students would build real buildings—a very ambitious concept for students who may have just touched their first hammer.
My role over the past four years has been to teach a few courses, starting with what an architect is, the building development process, codes, and how the human form defines building elements. I got the students involved by assigning homework—which, of course goes over real well coming from a guest lecturer. I got them to go measure up everything in their bedrooms so that they would start to develop a sense of space: sizes of walking areas, furniture, windows, doors, ceilings, and the space that life's things take up.
Next, we discussed how to design the building they had selected as their project. (A four-year program, the academy devotes the first two years in the classroom, the workshop, and designing their building.) We worked together to refine their designs, and I worked to complete the design drawings complete with a 3D fly-around model. I then explained the completed construction drawings to the students. The program includes a volunteer contractor who continues the process by teaching the students estimating and scheduling from the drawings of their building.
The plan of the Atlantic High School student's urban infill house.
The rewards of reality The Atlantic High School students chose to build a real house on a real city lot. It took them three years to complete the house they chose to create (because of the limited number of hours they could work on it, considering that they are still required to complete their other high school classroom work). As of this past spring, they held a ribbon cutting, and the chosen owner moved in. It was an impressive sight to see the student-builders standing in front of their creation. They had designed it (with some guidance), built everything in the house, and could appreciate the fruits of their labors. Perhaps more remarkably, before they started digging the footings, most of the academy students hadn't so much as picked up a hammer.
The Seminole Ridge academy chose to design and build a ticket booth for their new football stadium, and their conceptualization was decidedly finite. My first impression of the students' initial concept sketches was that it looked like an enlarged phone booth. The teaching process during a few classes developed a deeper understanding among the students of the holistic realities of the design process. People buying tickets have spatial needs. Ticket sellers need accommodation for everything including the heights of counters. As a programming exercise, we interviewed the athletic director to determine any athletic equipment storage needs and how many tickets per hour we could expect to be sold and when. A grander building evolved, and the final step was showing the students how to make the design imagery contextual with the architecture of their campus.
Seminole Ridge students at work on their ticket booth.
Because there is no school funding for the necessary materials, the teacher, Rick Terkovich, lined up numerous local contractors and materials suppliers to donate all of the materials and some supervision time for the project. Three years into the Seminole Ridge ticket booth project, it is now almost complete. The building needs a final coat of stucco and paint—then the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
I designed a 2' x 2' bronze plaque containing the names of all 82 "student contractors" to mount on the building for its dedication ceremony. With a sense of recognition and pride, these newly experienced, soon-to-be architects, engineers, or contractors will, hopefully, someday return to this remarkable accomplishment to show their own kids what they achieved at a very young age.
A rendering of the Seminole Ridge ticket booth.
And into the future The next project for the new group of Seminole Ridge academy students will be the construction of a pre-fabricated Habitat for Humanity house. It will be transported in four quadrants to a site that Habitat owns, placed on the foundation, and, with our work, become a new home. Habitat will provide the materials and the students will provide all of the carpentry, electrical, plumbing, drywall, and all other labor to make it a finished house.
This takes a certain amount of commitment and pro bono work, of course. But with the kind of satisfaction I've gotten seeing the academies continue onward with a new batch of wide-eyed recruits and a new project to teach them all about architecture, construction, and the real world, it's worth it.

Milk Kefir
Milk Kefir is a milk based probiotic drink. It is made by introducing the Kefir 'grains' (cultures) into milk and allowing it to ferment in a glass container for 12-36 or more hours. The resulting beverage is slightly fizzy, has the tartness of buttermilk or sour cream and the texture of a thin yogurt. The beverage can be consumed plain, flavored with extracts, spices, fruit, herbs or used in cooking, baking, or to make kefir cheese. Most people find it too strong to drink straight and prefer to add it to smoothies or to flavor it with fruits.
Benefits of Drinking Milk Kefir:
Probiotic Content
High in Vitamin C and B complexes, K, biotin
Easily Digested Protein Packed
Source of Minerals
Helps restore the good bacteria to your digestive track
Has a calming affect that can aid in sleep and lessen stress levels
Basic Milk Kefir
1 qt. glass jar
1.5 tbsp or more Kefir grains
1 qt. Milk
Place grains in jar, fill with milk. Leave approximately an inch of headspace. Cover and leave sitting on counter. Check every 6-12 hours until thickened and tart. Finished Kefir will look lumpy.
Once finished strain finished Kefir to remove grains. Start a new batch and move the finished Kefir into a container for storage and consumption. At this point you can also do a second ferment or flavoring process with the finished Kefir.
After removing the Kefir grains you can add fruit, herbs, spices, and sweeten the finished Kefir.
Water Kefir
Water Kefir is a non-dairy alternative. It is still a wonderful Probiotic and is packed full of helpful compounds, acids, bacteria and good yeasts that help our bodies function properly. It is a refreshing sweeter, slightly tart and fizzy beverage. Easily flavored with herbs, spices, extracts, and juices.
Benefits of Drinking Water Kefir:
Non-Dairy alternative
Digestive System Support
Supports the Immune Systemm
Gluten Free
Healthy Alternative to soda
Helps sustain energy levels
Lowers stress and anxiety
Basic Water Kefir
1 qt. glass jar
1/4 cup Water Kefir Grains
1 qt. Water (non chlorinated)
1/4 cup Sugar (your choice)
IF you use white sugar or a more refined sugar add 1 tsp of unsulphured Molasses for every 1/4 cup of sugar.
Dissolve sugar in 1 cup of warm water. Add rest of water. Once water is room temperature add grains. You can either cover with mesh at this point or put a lid on loosely. Allow to sit for 24-48 to brew. You will know it is finished when it is less sweet and a little bubbly. At this point you can move it into a second Ferment with herbs, spices, extracts, juices, etc. If you do a second ferment remove the grains to start your next round of Kefir, take the finished Kefir add the juice, etc and allow to sit in a sealed container or bottle for a couple of days so it builds up carbonation.

Jonthan Stark has created a very innovative concept for purchasing your next Starbucks coffee. Starbucks coffee drinkers can download a copy of Stark's coffee card and get their next beverage on him. Conversely, users feeling generous can contribute some money to the card so that someone else could buy themselves a coffee.
Jonthan Stark has taken the "take a penny, leave a penny" concept and brought into the digital era. Stark's project, which has no affiliation with Starbucks, is definitely an interesting one.

The White House announced Wednesday it would not release a photo of Osama bin Laden's body. The decision was a good one. I can't think of a good reason to have released it. It's supposedly gruesome, and who really wants to see that? I've been in the newspaper business for many years. During that time, I have been exposed to many gruesome photos from car wrecks, house fires, you name it. We never published the gruesome ones. I'm fairly sure we wouldn't print the photo of bin Laden. I bet many other papers wouldn't either. So why release the photo to the public if most of the media won't print or broadcast it? It has to be a gory photo because bin Laden was shot in the head. I can only imagine what that looks like I'm fairly certain bin Laden is dead. I know the conspiracy theorists out there will continue to say otherwise. That's OK. They have that right. To have released the photo would have been inflammatory and unnecessary. Besides, they probably will be leaked at some point, anyway. Article CommentsNo comments posted for this article. Post a Comment | |

Poole versus HAL 9000
Poole versus HAL 9000 is a fictional chess game in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. In the movie, the astronaut Dr. Frank Poole is seen playing chess with the HAL 9000 supercomputer. As HAL is supposed to be infallible, no one is surprised when HAL soundly defeats Poole (though the novel mentions that HAL is programmed to win only 50% of the time in order for there to be some point in the astronauts ever playing).
The director Stanley Kubrick was a passionate chess player, so unlike many chess scenes shown in other films, the position and analysis make sense. The actual game seems to come from the tournament game between A. Roesch and W. Schlage, Hamburg 1910.[1]
This article uses algebraic notation to describe chess moves. |
The game[edit]
White: A. Roesch Black: W. Schlage Opening: Ruy Lopez (ECO C86)
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. Qe2
- The opening is the Ruy Lopez, Worrall Attack.
5... b5 6. Bb3 Be7 7. c3 0-0 8. 0-0 d5
9. exd5 Nxd5 10. Nxe5 Nf4 11. Qe4 Nxe5 12. Qxa8?
- This move deflects the queen, allowing Black to mount a kingside attack. Better was 12.d4, leading to a small plus for White after 12...Bb7 13.Qxf4 (13.Qxb7 Ne2+ 14.Kh1 Nxc1 15.Rxc1 Nd3 16.Rf1 c5 gives Black compensation) Nd3 14.Qf5 Nxc1 15.Rxc1 g6 16.Qg4 Bg5 17.Rd1.[2]
Schlage (HAL 9000)
12... Qd3!
- Threatening 13...Ne2+ 14.Kh1 Ng3+ with checkmate to follow.
13. Bd1 Bh3!
- Black also has 13...Bg4, winning a piece after 14.Qb7 Bxd1 15.Rxd1 Ne2+ 16.Kh1 Ng4 17.Qf3 Qxf3 18.gxf3 Nxf2+; or 13...Nh3+, winning the queen after 14.gxh3 Bxh3 with the dual threat of Qxf1# and Rxa8. The movie picks up the game here (see diagram).
14. Qxa6?
- White abandons the long diagonal and moves into a forced checkmate. Even after 14.Qb7 c6 15.Qxe7 Bxg2 16.Re1 Nf3+ 17.Bxf3 Qxf3, mate is not far off.
14... Bxg2 15. Re1 Qf3
- Here HAL says: "I'm sorry Frank, I think you missed it: queen to bishop three, bishop takes queen, knight takes bishop, mate." But HAL's description of the queen move is not technically accurate—the move is correctly described in the descriptive chess notation as "queen to bishop six". Also, while HAL describes a forced checkmate in two moves, it is actually a checkmate in four; Poole could delay mate by playing 16.Qc8 Rxc8 17.h3 Nxh3+ 18.Kh2 Ng4#.[3]
- Poole resigns without questioning HAL's analysis.

TopSpeed Web acceleration FAQs
TopSpeed Web acceleration FAQs |
The AOL TopSpeed Web acceleration technology is a feature designed to speed up the Web browsing experience on your AOL Desktop Software. The TopSpeed technology creates its own local browser cache on your computer and uses this cache to check for graphics before seeking out information on the AOL service. AOL TopSpeed helps protect members from phishing scams by automatically blocking access to known phishing sites. Please visit AOL Keyword: Safety or go to http://daol.aol.com/security/ for more information. You can use TopSpeed with AOL 9.6, AOL 9.5, AOL 9.1, AOL Desktop, or any version of AOL 9.0. As long as you have sufficient free disk space and a properly set up firewall, you can take advantage of the TopSpeed Web acceleration technology. FAQsHow do I install the AOL TopSpeed software? How do I install the AOL TopSpeed software?AOL TopSpeed is installed and supported automatically when you install any version of AOL 9.0 and AOL Desktop. Will the TopSpeed Technology work on a dial-up connection?TopSpeed works on dial-up as well as high-speed connections. How much browsing time can I save while using TopSpeed?The TopSpeed technology helps you save browsing time through compression and caching. The actual time saved, however, is difficult to measure. Your browsing experience is dependent on your network conditions and congestion as well as the server availability. How do I turn on and turn off TopSpeed Web acceleration?TopSpeed works automatically once installed. You don't have to change any settings to experience the enhanced browsing that TopSpeed provides. The only time TopSpeed is turned off by default is when it is blocked by a firewall or the space for the TopSpeed cache is insufficient. To know how to turn on or turn off TopSpeed, you will need to know the version of the AOL Dekstop Software installed on your computer. You can find this information by following the instructions given in the online help article How do I determine the version of the AOL software I have?. Please click the link corresponding to the version of the AOL Desktop Software installed on your computer for instructions to turn on or turn off TopSpeed Web acceleration.
How do I close TopSpeed Web Acceleration in Windows Task Manager?TopSpeed Web acceleration is displayed in your Windows Task Manager or Close Programs window as either AOLWBSPD.EXE or AOLTPSPD.EXE. Note: TopSpeed Web acceleration will restart itself the next time you start your AOL Desktop Software. What is the difference between TopSpeed cache and browser cache?The cache in TopSpeed is separate from the cache for the browser. The TopSpeed cache has the latest technology that speeds up your Web browsing experience. Both caches may be used when you are browsing Web pages. What is the size of the Top Speed cache?The TopSpeed cache varies in size depending on the space available on the hard disk.
Note: The contents of the cache are not available for viewing. How do I clear the TopSpeed cache?Most users will not need to clear the TopSpeed cache. However, if you experience significant performance problems while browsing the Web, clearing the TopSpeed cache may help fix the issue. To know how to clear the cache, you will need to know the version of the AOL Desktop Software installed on your computer.

Ensure that your firewall is set to allow full access for every AOL application, including the TopSpeed programs aoltsmon.exe and aoltpspd.exe. Just like the AOL service, TopSpeed requires its own port. Instead of using port 5190, TopSpeed will search for an open port to connect within the range of port 11523. If port 11523 is not available, TopSpeed Web acceleration will attempt to use other ports like 11524, 11525, and 11526 to connect. Related Articles: |

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Three years ago, two young right-handers were the talk of Red Sox spring training: Daniel Bard and Junichi Tazawa.
That spring, Bard didn't allow a run in 101/3 innings; Tazawa allowed one in nine. They both struck out more than a batter per frame.
While Bard earned a quick promotion and excelled for nearly three seasons as Boston's set-up man, Tazawa was lost in the shuffle, undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2010.
He's not lost in the shuffle anymore. In fact, Tazawa is looking a lot more like Bard these days than Bard has in more than a calendar year.
On Monday night in St. Petersburg, Tazawa worked yet another 1-2-3 inning in relief, striking out two in the process. This is nothing new for the right-hander of late. He has struck out nine of the last 14 men he's faced and 19 of the last 40.
In his last 72/3 innings, Tazawa has struck out 14 and walked one, with one hit allowed: a Derek Jeter bloop single off the fists on Sept. 13 at Fenway Park.
"You can't throw a ball any better than he's throwing it," manager Bobby Valentine said Monday. "It's impossible to throw it better — it really is."
Tazawa has always possessed a starter's mix, with a fastball, splitter and curveball. What's made him so effective of late has been the increase in velocity on his fastball.
He appears to be one of those pitchers who gains miles per hour on his fastball post-surgery — something not uncommon, but rarer than people think, according to pitching coach Randy Niemann.
"Part of that is, as they're going through the rehab process, they get on a regular throwing program that they've never been on before," said Niemann, who in the past served as the rehab coordinator for the Mets. "They get stronger and pay more attention to their arm and the exercises they do and the correct way. Some of that results in better velocity.
In his previous stints in the majors, Tazawa's pitches reached 91 mph, and he never — in the absolute sense of the word — hit 95. Earlier this year, he averaged about 92 on the gun while touching 95. In his last several appearances, though, he's sitting at 94 and hitting 96 with some consistency.
He's thrown 80 pitches at 95 or better in 2012, and an even half of them have come since Aug. 22.
"Before I had Tommy John, my elbow used to just swell up a little bit, and I wasn't able to throw the way I wanted to. I wasn't hitting the velocity I knew I was capable of," Tazawa said Monday through interpreter Jeff Cutler. "Right now, I think I'm finally starting to pitch the way I want to, reach the velocity I want to and the results have been there."
"More than anything, the velocity and the command have gotten better and better as the season has gone on," Niemann said. "Typically, the year after the surgery, they're able to pitch and pitch at a fairly high level, but they still have some inconsistencies in both velocity and command as they go through the season — much like what Daisuke [Matsuzaka] has gone through. The second year, it all seems to come together for them: the maximum velocity, the command. That's what he's experiencing right now."
Tazawa has looked so good in his first full season back from Tommy John that Matsuzaka has cited the reliever as a source of inspiration for his own recovery. Like Matsuzaka, Tazawa was shelled in several of his first outings back in 2011. In his first seven professional outings after returning from the surgery, he allowed 19 earned runs in 20 innings.
That seems a long time ago indeed.
The uptick in velocity has helped more than just the right-hander's fastball. Ryan Lavarnway, who caught Tazawa a bit last year at Triple-A Pawtucket and for much of this season with both Pawtucket and Boston, said his secondary stuff has improved as well.
"His split is devastating right now — almost unhittable," he said. "They've tightened up his curveball. It was a little bit loopy last year, and he's throwing it harder, almost like a slider."
Tazawa's growth this season has him poised to become an integral piece of the Red Sox pitching staff in the future. Asked about his role Monday night, Tazawa was exceedingly diplomatic.
"I see my role to be prepared whenever I'm called upon. I don't worry about when I'm throwing. I'm more worried about just being prepared whenever it is," he said. "I haven't really thought about next season yet. I'm more focused on finishing this season strong and being prepared whenever I'm called upon this season."
A one-time starter, he said he'd "like to give it a try" if he's asked about starting again. But he maintained that he hasn't earned that opportunity yet.
"I just came back and I'm still proving myself right now," Tazawa said. "It's just focusing on the task I'm given at the moment and make sure I produce the results that the team is expecting from me."

I really like Burt's Bees lip balm products. Normally I buy regular or grape flavors. This is my first and last time buying the Honey. The smell and flavor is way too strong. It reminds me of very strong perfume. When you put it on, you can't help but breath it in. it's gross.
Sorry Burt's Bees but this is a fail.
This is my first Burt's Bees lip balm; I have never tried the original. It moisturizes fairly well, but I think it's big draw point is that it's all natural and made with beeswax and natural oils like sunflower instead of petroleum. However, I am not fond of this one's scent at all. It smells overpoweringly of baby powder, with a slight tinge of honey, and it's overly strong. There's nothing spectacular about this balm, and the smell is distasteful. It gets points for being all natural though, but I'd really recommend another balm from Burt's Bees, such as the pomegranate one.
More reviews by phalaenopsis_619
Doesn't really smell like honey. It's a mediocre lip balm that doesn't really do anything for your lips.
like the Pomegranate one this is great for moisturising but i'm not a fan of the scent. would not repurchase
This lip balm is horrible. It just sits on my lips. When I wipe the lip balm off, my lips feel super chapped again. It also smells really bad. Chapstick lip balms are cheaper and better than this one.
WHAT DID THEY DO??!! I was craving this lip balm, yes that's past tense, WAS. Where is the beautiful warm, rich and sweet honey flavor? Now it's borderline old makeup smell circa 1920 mixed with cat piss. Disgusting. Thank you Clorox, you bastards, ruining another company that actually had a good thing going.
I loved this balm. My lips are not too dry usually, so the moisture is enough for me. I mostly love it for honey smell and cute packaging.
I HATE the smell of this. Like on reviewer said, it smells like baby powder - NOT honey. So gross. The texture is grainy, too.

384 new caps
31 August 2013
I've finally managed to add into the database the caps I received during the last month: 384 new caps, including caps from 5 new countries (Guadeloupe, Andorra, South Sudan, Turkmenistan and Botswana).
I would also like to thank Mike Wright, for a fantastic donation of about 180 US caps, many of them new to my collection. Cheers, mate!
Caps from Malta
15 May 2013I've been actively trading lately, and today I received another package, this time from Malta. It contained many Maltese caps:
11 new countries
14 May 2013A few days ago I received a package containing 11 caps, all from countries new for my collection. They bring up the number of countries in my collection to the somewhat round figure of 170. The 200 countries barrier is getting closer. :)
Large package of caps
13 May 2013Last week I received the largest pack so far: 450 caps, from which about 400 were beer caps. About 260 of them were new for my collection. I spent many, many hours arranging them by country, making photos and then inserting them into the database and I\'m finally done! Below you can see some of the nicer caps from the pack:
Back from the dead
16 April 2013
During the last few months I didn't have a lot of time to manage my collection and especially the website.
Since my last article, on the 10th of January, many things have happened. The most important of them all was the 2nd meeting of the crown cap collectors from Bucharest, which took place sometime in mid February. This time we were glad to also welcome 2 beer label collectors. Hopefully, in time, our numbers will grow.
I also had a few trades, some of which were great. I received some great caps from New Zealand and some smaller neighboring countries, including a cap from Fiji (which represents a new country for my collection), a new cap from Papua New Guinea and a second Vailima cap from Samoa!
Soon, I'll post some of the nicer caps I got..
Vailima beer cap
10 January 2013I've been looking for a beer cap from Samoa for a long, long time. Luckily, while browsing on the Internet for collectors which might have Samoan caps, I stumbled upon David Collis from New Zealand. We agreed on a small, but useful trade for both sides, and my dream came true. Here's the new Star in my collection: :)
The 1st Romanian crown caps collectors meeting
01 September 2012
A few days ago, on the 21th of August, I took part at the first Romanian crown caps collectors meeting. 5 collectors took part at the meeting which took place at a pub in downtown Bucharest. We had a lot of fun talking and especially exchanging crown caps. I came home with around 70 caps new to my collection.
A few of them, below:
Trade in Bucharest
23 June 2012
A few days ago I had a meeting with another crown caps collector from Bucharest, Dan Oprescu.
We exchanged a little over 40 caps. Here are a few of the caps I got:
Large pack from Hungary
16 June 2012
I've just received a very large pack of caps (over 100) from my friend Daniel Mirk in Hungary! Most of them are new for my collection. Thank you very much Dani!
A few images below:
17 new countries for my collection
12 June 2012
Today I received a fantastic pack containing caps from 23 rare countries, 17 out of which represent new countries for my collection! Thank you Rene!
Below you can see a few of them:
06 June 2012Hinano Beer: a new addition to my collection. The crown cap is nice and the beer is pretty tasty.
New caps from Norway
30 May 2012
Today I have added 35 new beer caps to my collection, all from Norway. Thank you Leif!
Here are some of them:
Database is up-to-date!
29 April 2012
I've finally managed to bring the database up-to-date. It took me hundreds of hours to take the pictures and fill in the details for every single cap, but it's definitely been worth while. Unfortunately, there are still some caps for which I wasn't able to find any information. If you could help me identify any of the Unknown caps in my collection I would be grateful.
If you'd like to trade with me, please contact me at email@example.com
Welcome to crown-caps.com!
01 March 2012
My name is Dan Ionescu and I am a crown cap collector from Bucharest, Romania. I collect beer caps from all over the world. I am a member of the www.crowncaps.info community (CCI #826).
I've started collecting beer caps in the autumn of 2008. Initially, I collected only caps from the beers I personally consumed and I thought I was the only one to have such an uncommon passion. :) But after just a few months I found out that there was an entire community of crown cap collectors on the internet. In January 2009 I did my first trade. At that time my collection contained only around 100 different caps.
Over the years my collection grew and at this moment I have around 2000 caps from more than 100 countries.
My main goal is to expand the number of countries in my collection, so if you have for trading beer caps from any of the countries I don't have in my collection, please contact me and maybe we can arrange a trade.
The website was just recently launched, so I didn't yet have the time to upload many images and information about the caps in my collection. In time I will bring my database up to date with all the caps I own. In the meantime, please feel free to browse through my collection.
Enjoy your stay!
