Pray recollect Mr. Pym, the cruel Exactions of Empson and Dudley, under an Act of Parliament, far less
dangerous to Liberty than those which you defend. Recollect the old Sage Coke, and recollect Magna Charta which your Tribe used to think more sacred than scripture. Consider once more this hideous Taxation, more cruel and ruinous than Danegeld of old, which Speed says emptyed the Land

A scene which may be very properly recommended to modern Monarks, Queens, and Favourites. I will repeat it, Mr. Pym, for the Comfort of your Soul, for you always delighted in Ruin and Confusion—an hundred Years past you endeavoured to embroil as an Advocate for Liberty. Now it seems you are aiming at the same delightful object by enlisting under the bloody Banners of Tyranny.
You tell us that a Resolution of the B
Parliament can at any Time anull all the Charters of all our Monarcks. But would such an Act of Parliament do no wrong? Would it be obeyed? Would one Member of Parliament who voted for it, return to his Country alive? No You would have been the first Man in the Kingdom, when you was in the flesh, to have taken Arms against such a Law. You would have torn up the Foundations and demolished the whole Fabrick of the Government, and have suffered Democracy, Aristocracy, Monarchy, Anarchy, any thing or nothing to have arisen in its Place.

The gallant Struggle in America, is founded in Principles so indisputable, in the moral Law, in the revealed Law of God, in the true Constitution of great Britain, and in the most apparent Welfare of the Nation as well as the People in America, that I must confess it rejoices my very Soul. For you know, that altho I was always of the Royal Party,
{ 276 }
and for avoiding Violence and Confusion, and was oftentimes transported by my Loyalty and Zeal for the nations Peace, to some Excesses, Yet I never defended the real Infringments on the Constitution. I was as heartily for rectifying all those Abuses, and for procuring still further security of Freedom as any of you. For my Education had been in the Law the Grounds of which were so rivited in me that no Temptation could make me swerve from them: Besides you very well remember the surprizing Anecdote relative to my father and me. That Scene will remain with indelible Impressions on my soul throughout Duration. I see the good old Gentleman even at this Distance of Time. I see in his aged venerable Countenance that ardent parental affection to me, that Zeal for the Laws of his Country, that fervent Love of his Country, and that exalted Piety to God and good Will to all Mankind, which constituted his Character. I was upon one of the Circuits, which lead me down to my native Country, and I went to pay a Vizit to my Aged Father. He gave me an Invitation to take a Walk with him in the Field.—Says he, my Son, I am very old and this will probably be the last Time I shall ever see your Face. Your Welfare is near my Heart. The Reputation you have gained, for Learning, Probity, Skill and Eloquence in your Profession will in all Probability call you to manage the great Concerns of this nation in Parliament, and to Council your King in some of the greatest Offices of State. Give me Leave to warn you, against that Ambition which I have often observed in Men of your Profession, which will sacrifice all to their own Advancement. And I charge you, on my Blessing, never to forget this Nation, but to stand by the Law, the Constitution, and the real Welfare and Freedom of this Nation vs. all Temptations, &c.—The Words were scarcely pronounced before his Zeal and Conscience were too great for his strength and he fell dead before my Eyes. His Words sunk deep into my Heart, and no Temptation, no Byass or Prejudice could ever obliterate them. And you Mr. Pym are one Witness for me, that I never even excused the Nations real Grievances, while I sat in Parliament with you. And after the Restoration, when the Nation rushed into Madness with Loyalty, I was obliged to make a stand to Preserve even the Appearance of the Constitution: And in the Reign of my infamous and detestible tho royal son in Law James 2d. I chose to go into Banishment, rather than renounce the Liberties of the Nation.
You may easily believe therefore that the Conduct of the Americans, is quite agreable to me. My Resentment and Indignation is unutterable, when I see those worthy People chain'd and fettered by a few aban•

Description The present disclosure is directed to a ventilation strip which is used under the eaves to provide attic ventilation. Air circulation through the attic of a building is most helpful in reducing the heat load. Especially in southern states, it is highly desirable to maintain an air flow through the attic area. This requires both an air flow inlet and outlet. While the outlet might be a typical turbine ventilator located at the crown of the roof, it is often desirable (even essential) to locate a ventilation opening along the eaves. When located on the bottom side of the eaves, sheltered from blowing rain, an air inlet can be defined which permits flow of outside air through the attic spaces to reduce the heat load in the summertime. While the outside air temperature can be as much as 100�, the temperature in a closed attic can soar to 150�, or even 180� F. By locating various air outlets at the high places in the attic, air can be removed and fresh outside air can be drawn in. The air circulation into the attic reduces humidity in the attic. When humidity is trapped and cannot escape, the moisture will degrade insulation in the attic area. Therefore, it is helpful to ventilate to reduce temperature and remove trapped moisture in the attic. In the past, eaves have been provided with air inlet strips. One procedure has been the construction of the underside of the eave which is known as the soffit with a gap and the gap is normally closed with aluminum, wire mesh. The aluminum wire mesh is typically nailed or stapled in place. The present disclosure sets forth a better mechanism for installing a ventilation strip along the side of a building. It can be installed in short lengths or can be as long as the side of the building, easily as much as 100' in length. The eave is typically constructed with an overhang of about 8" to about 24". While they can be different from the specified range, it is commonplace to have an eave of that width and any length. The construction of the soffit area under the eave, however, is in large part impacted by the nature of the finish of the building. In particular, most residential construction has a type of veneer exterior. For instance, the framing of the building will typically be defined by a set of 2�4 framing members which are erected defining the walls with windows, etc. The exterior will typically be covered with a sheet of insulation such as a weatherproofed layer of fiberboard. On the exterior of that, another layer will typically be attached. One example for a framed wooden structure is attachment of horizontal 1�6's to provide a typical wooden exterior. Cedar shingles of different sizes can be attached. It is also not uncommon to attach a brick veneer layer. The brick veneer can have different thicknesses. For instance, the veneer can be relatively thin or it can be standard brick thickness, i.e., a single course of bricks stacked in rows with mortar between the bricks. Another approach has been attachment of a relatively thin layer of a fiber-cement board material which is relatively heavy in structure and is quite strong, thereby permitting a relatively thin veneer. The fiber-cement composite material features imbedded cellulose fibers for lateral strength and is formed of a concrete slurry which is cured. It is molded with a specified profile on it, thereby avoiding the necessity of later painting. It is normally painted to match some color scheme for wood, having a very good wood planking appearance. The present system sets forth a vent which is installed under the eave and which cooperates with the veneer on the exterior of the building. It defines a strip of specified width. The strip presents a set of breathing holes or openings which are uniformly spaced. Ideally, the strip is formed of an extruded plastic vinyl of modest thickness and specified width. A typical width is about 2" although it can be made with different widths. Along one marginal edge positioned toward the structure, the device includes an L-shaped leg which enables that edge to abut against the veneer on the structure. The veneer sometimes is topped with a 1�4 board. The opposing marginal edge is constructed with a locking channel defined by three walls at right angles and the channel has a depth and width sized to fit over the soffit board. The soffit board is sometimes wood but more often, it is made of particle board, plywood or other composite materials. The most desirable soffit material is the fiber-cement material discussed elsewhere. Preferably, the soffit board is made relatively thin because it is not a load bearing structure. It is relatively thin, typically in the range of about 1/4" to 1/2" in thickness. Conveniently, the locking channel can be made to a rectangular or square dimension enabling the channel to clamp on the marginal edge of the soffit. The vent strip of the present disclosure is fabricated in standard lengths. The lengths can vary, thereby permitting easy trimming to odd lengths. Standard lengths are typically about 8', 10' or 12' in length. Two or more separate units can simply be abutted in constructing a very long eave with a vent strip in accordance with the present invention. The soffit vent construction of this disclosure has the advantage of attaching relatively easily. It can attach without the mandatory use of mains, screws or staples. When the soffit board is formed of the fiber-cement material, nails and similar fasteners are not desirable; the snap in receptacle is most easily engaged for assembly to avoid nails. The soffit vent strip has a width with a depth of attachment which enables overlapping and hiding of irregular cut edges. Typically, it abuts against a soffit board which may have to be trimmed. In using a saw to trim a long soffit board, the cut may wander somewhat. Variations in width are hidden in the unique double leg receptacle of the fastener along the edge. It defines a gap which permits the channel to hold the edge of the soffit board even where it is cut in some irregular fashion. That is normally covered. Moreover, it is attached to the soffit board without use of fasteners such as nails or staples. This is highly desirable. At the opposite edge, it laps over the top veneer strip (often called a brick frieze strip) and secures at the top edge of the veneer finish on the building. This is done even with a building constructed of any type of veneer material including those mentioned above. The vent system of the present disclosure therefore attaches quickly and easily, reducing the difficulties in fabrication. Moreover, it is chemically neutral and has no long term detrimental effect in cooperation with any type of veneer material. Care must be exercised in certain types of veneer materials. For instance, the fiber-cement sheet material is sensitive to aluminum when contact is made. That is avoided with the present vent strip. Rather, the vent strip of this disclosure is chemically inert and will not react negatively with any type of veneer including brick, wood or other planking. Last of all, it provides a distinctly more attractive product. When inspected, even years after installation, it will provide a high quality appearance. It provides a colorfast decorative strip which can be tailored to a particular paint scheme. The present disclosure is summarized as a vent strip for attachment to an exposed eave. It is formed of an extruded continuous profile of plastic material having a profile enabling easy installation without screws, staples or nails. On one edge, it is provided with an L-shaped bracket which overhangs the veneer attached to the exterior of a building (e.g., the brick frieze strip). This enables easy installation at the topmost level of the veneer. The center portion is a wide span having a set of formed holes in it to provide breathing. The aggregate cross-sectional area is quite large, thereby furnishing the necessary breathing area. At the marginal right edge, it is constructed with a locking channel having three sides. The channel has a width and height sufficient to lock snugly against the soffit board. Multiple strips can be installed serially to provide a ventilation breathing space along the entire eave of a residential construction. One big advantage of the installation derives from the edge location of the vent strip along one side of the soffit board. The soffit board is selected for a particular width so that long cuts are reduced in number. Many vents require two cuts in the soffit while this vent strip can be installed with one cut; indeed, by apt selection, the soffit board may not require any cutting. So that the manner in which the above recited features, advantages and objects of the present invention are attained and can be understood in detail, more particular description of the invention, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to the embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings. It is to be noted, however, that the appended drawings illustrate only typical embodiments of this invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, for the invention may add to other equally effective embodiments. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the vent strip of the present disclosure installed under an eave adjacent to a veneer building finish; FIG. 2 is a bottom view looking up at the vent strip of FIG. 1 which shows the breathing spaces in the vent strip; FIG. 3 shows two abutting soffit boards cooperative with the present vent strip; and FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing the abutting board. Attention is now directed jointly to FIGS. 1 and 2 which show the ventilation strip 10 of the present disclosure. The strip 10 is shown alone in FIG. 2 while it is shown installed in FIG. 1. The installation of FIG. 1 provides the context or its location. That will further enhance the explanation of the structure of the ventilation strip. Briefly, going to the strip itself, it is constructed in specified widths and indefinite lengths. A representative width includes a vent area of about 2" with marginal edges making a total strip width of about 3" or so. That particular embodiment likely will find substantial commercial significance. The ventilated area of about 2" in width is flanked on the marginal edges of widths of something more than 1/4" ranging up to about 3/8" or even 1/2" depending on the size of the edges. More specifically, the strip includes a central area 12 which is provided with a number of perforations 14. The perforations can be relatively uniform and are arranged in rows and columns. While round is shown, other shapes such as squares or diamonds are useful. The perforations remove in the range of 40% to 65% of the surface area so that that much breathing area is provided. The perforations are located only at the center planar portion 12. The strip is constructed with a veneer shoulder meaning a shoulder on the left which is adapted for locking over (1) the veneer finish on the building wall, (2) the brick frieze strip, or (3) the framing member of the wall. This shoulder includes a wall 16 perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 2. This shoulder 16 is also shown in FIG. 1. A top lip 18 is located at the edge of the shoulder 16 to reach over the veneer as will be explained in detail with a representative installation. In cross-sectional view as shown in FIG. 1, they define an L-shaped latching member. This holds one edge of the equipment in place. The right side of the ventilation strip 10 is defined by a U-shaped receptacle. This receptacle 20 is defined by three side walls. The three walls include the visible wall 22 shown in FIG. 2, the parallel wall 24 shown in FIG. 1, and the transverse wall 26. The shoulder 26 is at right angles to the walls 22 and 24. The shoulder 26 is parallel to the shoulder 16. It is desirable, but not required, that the shoulders 16 and 26 be formed with a common height. The spaced shoulders 16 and 26 both serve as a butting shoulders. They define the width of the ventilation area. Moreover, they are adapted to be contacted against components of the structure which will be detailed in FIG. 1. The ventilation strip 10 is typically formed of extruded vinyl and has a length which is specifically long enough. The length is adequate in length so that one or more units of the ventilation strip 10 can be installed under an eave. They are simply deployed end-to-end in putting the eave structure together. The ventilation strip is preferably formed of an extruded vinyl having the illustrated cross-section and is perforated while being extruded. Typically, the thickness is a few mils, ranging typically from about 3 mils to about 12 mils in thickness. If the ventilation area is about 2" in width, the aggregate width is somewhere between about 2.5 and 3.0". A larger version can be made and if the width is increased, it is ideal to increase slightly the thickness to provide enhanced stiffness. It is desirable that the strip be able to flex or bow when squeezed between the two edges. That will be explained in regard to the installation of the strip. The strip is formed of a uniform colored material such as light tan, eggshell white, or perhaps some other off white. Also, gray will suffice. Generally, the vent strip is extruded of vinyl plastic mixed with a pigment or dye in the feed. This provides a color all the way through the extruded plastic. In the alternative, the strip can be extruded with one color and coated with other colors. It is normally installed at an area on a residential construction where it is seldom noticed. While not conspicuous to visual inspection, it is nevertheless exposed for viewing and it maintains its color, shape and decorative nature throughout an extended installation of 20 years or more. Because it is not exposed directly to sunlight, and is not exposed to the ultraviolet rays from the sun, aging, having the form of minor cracks accompanied by embrittlement, is less likely to occur. In reality, some of that may be reflected from the earth's surface and back scattered against the strip which might cause very slow aging. Even, however, with aging, the strip can maintain a quality ventilation area in an eave without requiring replacement for many years. Generally, plastic surfaces, exemplified by PVC and many other plastics, are susceptible to ultraviolet radiation which cracks the plastic. Paint reduces radiation damage. Generally, metal screen strips do not last that long through oxidation, etc. Moreover, the strip is also easier to clean once installed. It typically can be brushed with a broom. Going now to FIG. 1 of the drawings, FIG. 1 shows the context in the construction of a building. The sequence of the building assembly may differ. This may also change the time at which the strip is fastened to the partially finished building. From the left side of FIG. 1, the numeral 30 identifies a typical vertical framing member. Commonly, this is a 2�4 which is erected on spaced centers, typically ranging between 16" and 24" spacing. It is erected to define the outside wall of the building. After that, the outside is commonly covered by 4�8 sheets of some sort of covering material 32, e.g., plywood, Styrofoam asphalt sheets, etc. Typically, this is a sheet of insulative material. The amount, thickness, and precise nature varies depending on the climate and the amount of insulation required. It is, however, installed after the framing. The framing is thus clad in this material. At some point in the construction of the building, an exterior building veneer is attached. The veneer can comprise any number of covering materials including cedar shingles, horizontal wood planking, vertical wood planking, a brick veneer of a selected thickness, and other covering materials. Fiber-cement materials are also used. The veneer material is typically added in rows or planks moving from the bottom toward the top of the wall. The topmost course 34 of the veneer can typically be, as mentioned, one of those products. The veneer member 34 is near the top of the wall, normally at the top or overlapping and exposed along the overhang. The important aspect of this particular installation is that the veneer material is extended up the wall and extends into the region of the eave so that it covers the wall. The underside of the overhang or the soffit region of the eave is at right angles to the topmost course of the veneer 34. Assume, for purposes of discussion, that the veneer material is a course of veneer bricks which are 1" in thickness. Again, this is representative and is not meant to limit. The topmost course of bricks 34 is attached in the common fashion. Again, if wood planking, it is attached by placing nails through the veneer 34 and into the frame member 30. Without regard to the precise details regarding fabrication, the topmost veneer member 34 is affixed and defines an upwardly facing shoulder which is used to support the L-shaped mounting bracket along the edge. As shown in FIG. 1 and ultimately accomplished in installation, the shoulder 16 butts up against the veneer and the offset left marginal edge 18 is latched or portioned marginally over the top of the veneer. More will be given regarding that. The residential construction typically places a roof with an overhang extending well beyond the veneer 34. The overhang is defined by an outer facia surface 36. The surface 36 is typically spaced perhaps 8" to 24" from the veneer 34. This overhang keeps direct rain from falling against most of the wall. This enhances the life of the veneer material. This reduces air conditioning costs by shading the windows. It reduces or delays weathering of the plastic strip significantly. The facia board 36 is constructed at the outer ends of the rafters (not shown) defining the pitch of the roof and is the terminal end of lookout boards. The several lookout boards are arranged parallel to one another and at right angles to the ledger which are part of the house frame. It is common to assemble the joists and rafters at the time of framing the house, i.e., at the time of erecting the frame members 34. This enables several different craftsmen to have access so that they can work on the house simultaneously. In part, it is somewhat dependent on the climate, namely, whether the inclement weather and rain pose a problem, but it is not uncommon that the joists 38 and the rafters defining the roof are placed on the framed building quickly so that some kind of roof covering material can be placed as quickly as possible. That is placed on the house so that it is weathered in, i.e., the open framed building, even without wall covering, can shelter workmen who are out of the elements at the time. In any event, the eave, defined by the roof overhang, is constructed with the rafters and joints 38 in place. One step of this fabrication sequence is to then attach the soffit board 40. In this particular instance, the width of the soffit board can vary and it is shown with a broken line to indicate that it can be quite narrow or much wider. The soffit board is not a load bearing board. It is provided primarily to seal the eave area so that the roof and attic area are isolated to prevent small animal entry. Also, the soffit enhances appearance. The soffit board, therefore, need not be a heavy framing member. Rather, it is typically a thin sheet. Typically, it can be formed of particle board, plywood or the fiber-cement combination material previously mentioned. That typically will define a soffit of about 1/2" in thickness or less. An optimum is in the range of about 1/4" thickness. That thickness is noteworthy because the thickness of the soffit 40 is related to the shoulder 26 on the vent strip 10. Ideally, the soffit 40 matches the thickness of the shoulder 26. The soffit board (two or more butting boards) is nailed to the lookout 38. A typical nail is indicated at 42. It is nailed to hold the soffit 40 in place. In view of the fact that it is light weight material because it is relatively thin, one or two courses of nails along the soffit driven into the overheat joists 38 is sufficient to hold the soffit in place. The nails or fasteners must comply with the building code for the locale. Ideally, the soffit is nailed to the lookout 38 so that there is a slight gap left between the soffit 40 and the overhead lookout 38. It is necessary to insert the lip of edge 24 of the receptacle 20 into the gap above the soffit 40 and below the lookout 38. If the lookouts are nailed too close to the soffit edge, they will tend to pinch or clamp against the vent strip 10 when it is installed and may prevent installation. Shim stock in the form of flat sheet stock is typically installed between the two. Alternatively, the nail 42 is driven home but it is not provided with the final blow which closes the soffit snugly against the lookout 38. The best nailing approach involves placing nails through soffit board into the lookout closer to the facia than the vent strip. In some instances, the soffit may be attached with pneumatically driven stapes. In that instance, it is optimum to place perhaps two rows of staples in the soffit board. One row of staples can be placed adjacent the facia 36, and the second row can be fastened in the soffit 40 after installation of the vent strip 10. That will help snug up the fit between the soffit 40 and the lookout 38. Again, this is a matter of technique and it can be varied from craftsman to craftsman (or region to region) to accomplish the desired result. The soffit board is spaced in width from the veneer or frieze strip 34. The edge of the soffit 40 defines the gap or space which is to be filled by the vent strip 10. This space is therefore made uniform along the eave of the house. This requires that the soffit board be cut to the specified width. As shown in FIG. 1, the soffit is broken in the view so that it will be understood that the actual width of the soffit 40 can vary. Again, this is a matter of design and can be accommodated by the vent strip 10 of the present invention. At the time of installation, the vent strip is conveniently bowed by hand as the receptacle 20 is clamped against the edge of the soffit 40. This is done along the edge of the entire strip. Thereafter, the left hand edge is pushed up and over the veneer or frieze strip 34. It will be easy to see when the vent strip snaps into place to the illustrated position of FIG. 1. It is able to flex and bow in curvature. While bowed, the left and right edges which accomplish attachment are aligned so that the vent strip 10 can be moved into the position which is ultimately accomplished in FIG. 1. It is typically attached by attaching one edge completely and then attaching the other edge. It may be more desirable to attach the left edge first, not the right. In other installations, it may be desirable to do the right edge first. Once attached and snapped into place, nothing further is required of the vent strip. In typical construction sequences, it may, at that time, be desirable to put another row of nails or another row of staples in the soffit board 40. Again, this is a sequence of construction which can be varied depending on the desires of the craftsmen. The soffit board has a length, as mentioned, which can be the length of the building. Likewise, the vent strip 10 can be installed in multiple units. If furnished in 8' lengths, they can be installed serially. Odd lengths can be accommodated simply by using a pair of tin shears to cut the vent strip to any desired length. When finished, a ventilation into the attic area is provided. The holes 14 provide more than adequate breathing space. This ventilation is important to the operation of the house and seems to provide enhanced lift to attic and roofing materials. Moreover, ventilation through the vent strip 10 is accomplished with the benefit of an attractive under eave construction. Such attic ventilation extends life so much that many shingle makers require attic air ventilation. Attention is now directed to FIG. 3 of the drawings. There, the vent strip 10 is shown on the left hand side. This is a view looking up at the bottom of the soffit. The soffit, in this particular instance, is assembled with first and second soffit boards 40 and 44. The boards 40 and 44 collectively define the soffit which can extend the full length of the structure. Indeed, two, three or four similar boards can be arranged in butting relationship so that the soffit construction is consummated. The soffit, whether formed of one or several boards, is moved into the facing receptacle 20 along the edge of the vent strip 10. This is illustrated in FIG. 3. Without regard to the length of the vent strip 10 are the assembled soffit, proper and adequate length is obtained by this form of joining the components together. It is desirable that the gap between the boards 40 and 44 be closed. In the past, that has been closed with chalking. Chalking ultimately ages and becomes somewhat brittle. When that occurs, the gap between the boards 40 and 44 may bow open ever so slightly. Especially with wood, there may be come warpage or shrinkage. The present disclosure provides an enhanced protective strip as will be described. FIG. 3 shows an enlarged view of the boards 40 and 44. They are closed at the gap between the two board with an H-shaped insert 50. The insert 50 is located between the two boards. It has a top face 52, and a bottom face 54. The two faces are joined by a central web 56. The web 56 is preferably as tall as the two boards so that it then defines left and right receptacles for the boards 40 and 44. It is located between the boards and has a length which is equal to the width of the soffit boards 40 and 44. It is desirable that it extend to the vent strip but not under it. In the region 56, the H-shaped member 50 is full length while the vent strip is cut only at the receptacle walls 22 and 24. The top and bottom exposed faces 52 and 54 both abut against the vent strip but do not create a ripple in or bulge under the vent strip. While the foregoing is directed to the preferred embodiment, the scope thereof is determined by the claims which follow. Patent Citations

Educational Leadership Grad Finds Game Plan for Success
Educational Leadership Grad Finds Game Plan for Success
by Gail Allyn Short
UAB educational leadership alumnus E. J. Brophy, Ed.D., says that during his freshman and sophomore years of college, he cared more about improving his skills on the baseball field than in the classroom.
The Montgomery native first came to UAB in 1988 as a freshman on a baseball scholarship. He chose physical education as his major, was a catcher for the team, and dreamed of becoming a head coach, he says.
"I didn't get the importance of academics until it was almost too late," Brophy says. "I picked P.E. because I wanted to get into coaching. When I got into my junior year, my grades were not very impressive, but that's when I realized that I could actually get a degree. It finally dawned on me in my early 20s that I could graduate and get the degree that my grandfather, a World War II veteran who graduated from the sixth grade, kept telling me was so important."
Today, Brophy has maintained his interest in both sports and academics as the athletic director for the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). He says it is his doctorate in educational leadership from UAB that has helped prepare him for the demands of the job.
Following his epiphany in his junior year, Brophy says he became a more serious student. He took classes in health and skills development and studied methods for teaching children with disabilities. In addition, he says his professors taught him important life lessons.
"One thing that I will always remember about going to school at UAB was how professional and prepared and good all of the instructors were," he says. "They led by example. They expected you to study. They expected you to dress appropriately and to be punctual."
Brophy's athletic career also flourished. He became an all-conference player. Then, during his senior year, the Philadelphia Phillies organization recruited him to play for its minor league team. Even with spring training and a heavy game schedule, Brophy says he managed to balance both school and professional baseball by taking one class at a time until he finished his undergraduate degree at UAB in 1995.
After four years in the minor leagues, Brophy says he once again aspired to become a college baseball coach. So in 1996, he worked as an assistant baseball coach at Samford University and at Wallace Community College. Two years later, in 1998, he landed an assistant coaching position at the University of Montevallo and completed the UAB Department of Human Studies' master's degree program in physical education.
"I felt that by getting the master's degree, it would give me the best chance of becoming a head coach," he says.
Then in 2003, the UAB Athletic Department hired him as the assistant director of athletic development. Eventually, the department promoted him to assistant athletic director for external affairs with responsibilities that included fund raising, managing the Blazer Club Scholarship Fund and donor affairs.
By then, with years of experience in coaching and sports administration behind him, Brophy set a new goal to become an athletic director. He knew, however, that he needed more education, he says. So, in 2004, he enrolled in the School of Education's Educational Leadership doctoral program.
"It really fine tunes and hones your skills," he says. "Things like planning, organizing, staffing and budgeting are extremely important when you're in a position of leadership. You can't fly by the seat of your pants. It just doesn't work. For every moment you plan, it saves you 10 minutes when you're getting ready to perform.
"Those are the things our instructors were so good at conveying to us," he says, "the importance of preparation, our reporting structure, knowing the law, knowing the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), knowing what you can and cannot do. All of those are tremendously important things."
While studying in UAB's Educational Leadership Program, Brophy's career took off. In 2006, the University of West Alabama tapped him as its athletic director. Three years later, in 2009, he completed his doctorate at UAB. Then in 2011, he accepted the job as athletic director at UAH.
Today, Brophy is married to the former Cindy Wooten, who is a UAB early childhood education alumna. The couple has two children, Brooks, 15, and Bailey, 12.
As UAH's athletic director, he is involved in everything from hiring coaches, fund raising and marketing to overseeing the construction of sports facilities, and says he is putting what he learned in his educational leadership courses into practice. But the part of the job he enjoys most, he says, is seeing young athletes winning not only on the field, but in the classroom as well.
"Without question, the most fun for me as athletic director is getting to see young people come to a school and trade their athletic prowess for a scholarship that puts them in a position where they can get their schooling paid for, graduate and see it change their lives forever," he says, "where it puts them in a situation where they can get a good job, feed their families, enjoy life and become quality citizens."

Creating a Learning Community
Creating a Learning Community
New Collaborative Partners SOE with Birmingham City Schools
UAB has long been committed to solving the unique educational challenges that exist in urban school systems. To that end, the UAB School of Education has joined with Birmingham City Schools to announce its Innovative Learning Collaborative—a partnership between faculty and students and Birmingham teachers, principals and the school system's upper administration to form a learning community that improves education and benefits for students and all involved entities.
The participating schools are Glen Iris Elementary and EPIC Elementary. Both are located adjacent to UAB's campus and, because of existing partnerships and proximity, are ideal for the initial collaboration, says Lynn Kirkland, Ed.D., chair of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction.
"I am hoping that we are able to create an atmosphere where excellence is the norm for students, teachers and the university," says Michael Wilson, Ph.D., principal of Glen Iris.
"The collaboration between these entities is not new," says Vicki Stokes, Ed.D., principal of EPIC. "We have worked together for many years. The difference is that there will be a more defined purpose and planning, such that the relationship and its benefits will last for years to come."
The components include hands-on, in-classroom training for School of Education students, tools and resources for Birmingham schoolteachers and principals, collaborations among the groups to provide community education that include literacy efforts and partnerships to apply for funding for various initiatives such as innovative after-school programing. The partnership will also generate collaborative research that will provide instructional strategies that can be used in urban education.
Wilson and members of his staff, as well as Stokes and her administration, have been meeting regularly with UAB faculty to create a partnership they hope will make an impact.
"The collaboration between these entities is not new," says Vicki Stokes, Ed.D., principal of EPIC. "We have worked together for many years. The difference is that there will be a more defined purpose and planning, such that the relationship and its benefits will last for years to come." |
"They are invested as much as we are," says Deborah Voltz, Ed.D., dean of the School of Education. "We all have skin in the game."
This past summer, the group acquired a memorandum of understanding signed by the Birmingham Board of Education. Craig Witherspoon, Ed.D., superintendent for Birmingham City Schools, says he hopes this initiative will become a district model.
"For the past few years, we've established and nurtured professional learning communities within our schools," Witherspoon reports. "This partnership allows us to expand that concept and, not only broaden our base of knowledge and professional network, but also create additional opportunities for collaborative learning."
Ultimately, the goal is to expand into the schools into which Glen Iris and EPIC feed, being there to assist students as they progress throughout their educational careers. "We are spending all the time we need to make this right," Kirkland says. "Next is middle school, then high school. We want to help them feel as though we are with them every step of the way."
Another expected outcome is highly trained teachers who have relationships with potential employers, as well as creating a UAB presence in the classrooms that could inspire students to consider attending UAB.
"When you think about recruitment, the students will have seen us all along," Kirkland said. "Then they will want to come to UAB."
Voltz is excited about that. "It does take a village to prepare a teacher and train a child," she says. "We want to help to infuse new energy into the P-12 schools."

It's all in what you make of it, Ed. I had a job at Mickey d's in my youth. They stuck me on the Chicken McNugget assembly line. I was to box them, then slide them down a rail of sorts, and yell "Six Piece up". Back then I can't remember if they only served six in a box or what ever, but anyway... I got my arse chewed over and over because when I would slide them down the rail, I'd yell "Chickens done" (Thats how we had done it at home for years and it seemed to work for us). According to the teeth marks on my arsecheeks, evidently that wasn't the proper "McWay" to do things around there. After awhile I starting "getting the blame" for all manner of shyte. I was working away one day in my own little greasy sweaty world, and the manager said hey you I need to talked to you. I was told by the manager, "when you come in tomorrow, I want your hair cut in the back like that fellows over there". I looked over at the fellow, and back at my manager, and I said, you know I don't think it's the hair cut, I think his necks just longer than mine. I was never asked to get my hair cut again. We've been sold out by our own Government Ed. The Chinese are leaping to their deaths, and protesting two minute shyte breaks. So maybe with any luck, some of what our Government has spent the last 20, or 30 years sending overseas will come back to our country. But, by the time we get done undoing all out workers rights that we've fought for years, to have, it just wont be the same. We'll be protesting two minute shyte breaks right here in the good ole USA before it's all said and done. |

Spatial Inequality, Migration, and Economic Growth in Chile
Between 1975 and 2000, annual per-capita GDP in Chile grew at 5%. Yet, regions did not benefit equally: poverty declined significantly in all regions but regional income inequality remained stagnant. We found that convergence in per-capita income and prod

Fried calamari goes to Vietnam, where seafood (and meats) are often paired with lots and lots of fresh herbs. Here, the intense, fresh flavor of mint, basil, dill, parsley, and cilantro make a clean-tasting counterpoint to the rich, lightly crunchy calamari. Prep and Cook Time: 1 1/2 hours. Notes: Fish sauce and rice flour can be found in the Asian food aisle of most supermarkets. Calamari most often comes frozen, cleaned, and separated into tubes (mantles) and tentacles. If you find it fresh, ask your fishmonger to clean it (it's tedious to do yourself).
Sunset MAY 2008
1. In a small bowl, combine lime juice, sugar, fish sauce, and chiles. Set dressing aside.
2. In a large serving bowl, combine mint, basil, dill, parsley, cilantro, onion, celery, and cashews. Set aside.
3. In a 4-qt. pot about 10 in. in diameter, heat vegetable oil until it registers 360° on a candy thermometer.
4. While oil is heating, slice calamari tubes in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Lay each half flat, inside up, and gently score across the half 3 or 4 times with the point of a knife. Turn the half 90° and score 3 or 4 times across the first score marks to make a grid pattern (think tic-tac-toe). Halve and score the remaining tubes the same way. Put in a small bowl with tentacles. Set aside.
5. In another small bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rice flour, 1 tsp. salt, and the cayenne. Drop the calamari pieces into the flour mixture, turning to coat well.
6. Working in 3 batches, fry squid 4 to 5 minutes per batch, or until pieces are curled and light brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer fried calamari to a large plate lined with several folded paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt to taste. Allow oil temperature to return to 360° between batches.
7. Add the warm calamari to the herb-cashew mixture and pour half of the dressing over it. Toss gently just until coated. Serve salad immediately, with remaining dressing on the side.
Note: Nutritional analysis is per 1 1/2-cup serving.

Synthesis of Spiroisoxazolines by 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition
Received: 31 August 1996 / Accepted: 3 December 1996 / Published: 8 April 1997

Abstract: The cycloaddition of the chiral nitrile oxide 1 to 1-R-substituted 3,3-methylene-5,5-dimethyl-2-pyrrolidinones 2 (where R is H, n-butyl-, 1,1-dimethylethoxycarbonyl-, 1-methylethenyl- and acetyl-) proceeds regioselectively under the formation of spiroisoxazolines, namely 7-R-substituted-6-oxo-8,8-dimethyl-1-oxa-2,7-diazaspiro[4,4]non-2-enes 5 and 6. The asymmetric induction expected by the a-chiral centre of the nitrile oxide 1 was not very effective, diastereoisomers 5 and 6 were formed in an approximate 50:50 ratio. The stereoselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the arylnitrile oxide 7 with the chiral lactam 3 and the achiral lactone 4 are investigated. The attack of the 1,3-dipole occurred from the less hindered face of the dipolarophile 3 and 4, giving the major isomer 8 and 10, respectively.

Help Identifying Plant and Seeds!
We have a strange plant in our yard that I can't identify. I am worried, because it has orange seeds that my two year old just ate. I called poison control and they couldn't identify it either. The nurseries are all closed already tonight. Can anyone help me identify this?
The plant is short and the leaves look a lot like the leaves on an iris plant or a tulip plant. Then there are these long thin branches with a two inch pod on the end that opens and has two rows of orange seeds that look like corn kernels. The pods all opened up at the same time about a month ago. The seeds are bright orange and there are about 8 per row.
Maybe Belamcanda - Blackberry Lily. I knw berries trn black but maybe orange beforehand? Also thinking maybe Crocosmia...will send photos.
Here is a link that might be useful: Belamcanda
Here's lots of seeds/berries...check Crocosmia.
Here is a link that might be useful: Seeds & Seedpods
Carol...great photo, and I'm glad you and Rosemarie chimed in here. Sure hope we hear some good news soon.
Found this site re toxic plants which will be helpful once the plant is identified. josh
Here is a link that might be useful: Toxic Plants
Thank you all so much for your help. My daughter is just fine. She had absolutely no reaction (we watched her closely in conjunction with Poison Control last night). But the pod looks a lot like the one that Carol23 posted. I also jumped on the site that Josh shared and found a photo of Iris (Iridaceae) that is exactly like what we have. I thought the leaves looked like an Iris. I've just never seen the orange seeds/pods before. I removed all the pods and seeds from our yard today, so we shouldn't have any trouble from here. Thank you so much for your help and concern.
Oh, that's so GOOD to hear! Glad poison control helped you monitor your daughter.
I had no idea what seeds/pods look like on an Iris either. Good thing Carol does!
Josh, nice to see people have concern for others & DO something about it! Good on you!
Sounds like Iris foeditissima - Stinking Iris. Does the bruised foliage smell a bit like overdone roast beef? It has a rather insignificant mauvey flower (yellow in the variety 'citrinum') and has these orange berries all Winter. it will self seed. Don't know if it's poisonous. It's a native of woods over here.
I apologize for not having a picture to post, but I have been searching for hours to find the name of my plant.
I have this plant in a pot and it needs partial shade (burnt it in full sun). It is about 3 feet tall right now and has stems coming out from the bottom. The leaves are two shades of green with a maroon color on the bottom. It blooms small flat like flowers that are red (like a bleeding heart) under the leaves in a cluster. One stem supports several flowers. The leaves are an odd shape...say like your looking at a drawn heart, but one side is very small verses the other.
Any help would be appreciated. I have two broken stems that I placed in water....they are thriving, but I want to know if I can put them in dirt to root so I will have additional plants.
Thank you so much for your help.
Sorry I didn't see this question sooner. The iris that forms large seed pods with orange seeds is Iris foeditissima or Stinking Iris. I didn't know it was poisonous, only that the deer don't seem to bother it. That may be why! So glad to hear that your daughter is fine.
Here's a link with some info about this iris: http://www.first-nature.com/flowers/iris_foetidissima.php

The Electric Michelangelo (P.S.)by Sarah Hall
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Cy Parks is the Electric Michelangelo, an artist of extraordinary gifts whose medium happens to be the pliant, shifting canvas of the human body. Fleeing his mother's legacy — a consumptives' hotel in a fading English seaside resort — Cy reinvents himself in the incandescent honky-tonk of Coney Island in its heyday between the two world wars. Amid the carnival decadence of freak shows and roller coasters, enchanters and enigmas, scam artists and marks, Cy will find his muse: an enigmatic circus beauty who surrenders her body to his work, but whose soul tantalizingly eludes him.
Review:"Hall's mellifluous coming-of-age story about an apprentice tattoo artist from the north coast of England who reinvents himself in Coney Island, N.Y., is picaresque in its sweep and lovely in its lush description. This 2004 Booker Prize finalist, Hall's second novel (after Haweswater) but first U.S. release, follows Cyril Parks from his youth in the 1910s, as he grows up the only son of the widowed proprietor of the Bayview Hotel in Morecambe, through his hard-won apprenticeship to the seedy rogue Eliot Riley, under whose exacting tutelage he becomes a skilled tattoo artist. From his benevolent mother, Reeda Parks, who puts up consumptives at her hotel, he learns not to be disgusted by the spectacle of human misery. (Reeda also performs secret abortions and campaigns for women's suffrage.) Upon Reeda and Riley's deaths, Cy takes off for America and plies his trade among the vibrant array of freak shows at Coney Island. By 1940, he meets a local Russian chess champion, Grace, and during the course of their love affair he inscribes 109 eye tattoos all over her body. Hall's writing is pure joy, especially when describing the childhood seaside shenanigans of Cy and his boy pals. Agent, Emma Parry." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Review:"Hall's intelligence and ambition are thrilling to behold...she manages to combine the plummy sensuality of Marguerite Duras with the silken abstractions of Michael Ondaatje." BookForum
Review:"A Man Booker finalist, Hall's sweeping novel explores timeless themes of loss and redemption with an ageless wisdom and grace." Booklist
Review:"Sarah Hall..steps right out on that dazzling wire....It's amazing work." Carolyn See, The Washington Post
Review:"The best moments are like this glimpse of the aurora borealis over Morecambe Bay....Like that mysterious light, Hall's novel is to be admired for its own slow grace." Susann Cokal, The New York Times
Review:"The characters are flat, the story travels far without ever really going anywhere and the occasional attempts to philosophize about tattoos are generally fatuous. A lot of flash, and not much more." Kirkus Reviews
About the AuthorSarah Hall, born in 1974, divides her time between the north of England and North Carolina. The Electric Michelangelo, her second novel, was a finalist for the Man Booker Prize.

Simple solution! Make the map a little longer so the nexus isn't right next to their spawning pool. So many games where we should be able to push and win but the enemy team takes damage, walks a couple feet, heal, and come back out... What the hell is that. Then they convince our super minions to commit suicide. Ruins the game. Either fix the super minions targeting or make the distance from nexus tower to spawning pool a little further away, as it is in Summoner's Rift.

Israeli cabinet OKs law to ban Naqba commemorations

The Israeli cabinet on Sunday voted in favour of a draft law to ban yearly Nakba commemorations. Since 1948, the Palestinians have been marking the establishment of the state of Israel as Nakba (catastrophe).
In the proposal, anyone participating in the commemoration of 15 May 1948 could face a three-year prison sentence. The proposal has been presented by the right wing party Yisrael Beitenu, led by the Foreign MInister Avigdor Lieberman. It still has to be approved in the Israeli parliament.
Arab deputies have already condemned the move. Balad chairman MP Jamal Zahalka said there was no international precedent for legislation against sorrow and mourning, calling it, according to Haaretz,"an Israeli invention that reveals bankruptcy."
