Nastia Liukin and Jason Witten Play in New York Times' Sunday Magazine
For those who like to do their Sunday-morning reading on a Thursday, two local items of note in The New York Times' sportsy supplement Play. One's a lengthy, engrossing Mimi Swartz-penned piece on the selling of Parker's Nastia Liukin -- whose name is misspelled throughout much of the story as "Nastasia," eep. It's also a profile of the man who'll be turning her into a multi-million-dollar brand name, agent Evan Morgenstein, described in the story as "a ferocious yenta with meaty lips, worried blue eyes and long, dark, center-parted hair." There's the picture to prove it.
Speaking of pictures, Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten's among the five NFL'ers spotlighted in the piece "Giants in Their Field." It's a short, flattering piece -- "In truth, a case can be made that Witten is the league's best tight end" -- accompanied by a Levon Biss photo. --Robert Wilonsky

Vintage: 2004
Region: Italy
Appellation: Barbaresco
Condition: nl
Rated 95 points by the Robert Parker`s Wine Advocate: `Giacosa-s 2004 Barbaresco Santo Stefano is a superb wine. Sweet, floral, mentholated aromatics meld into an expressive core of ripe fruit, with superb length and elegant tannins to round out the finish. Made in a more linear style than the Asili and Rabaja, it doesn-t possess the expansiveness of those two wines, but it does reveal tremendous depth, harmony and balance. This pure, sweet, long Barbaresco is the best Santo Stefano in years. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2022. At a time in life when many of his colleagues have begun to slow down, Bruno Giacosa continues to make stunning wines of the highest level. Of course Giacosa has the good fortune of having the services of long-time oenologist Dante Scaglione, who is one of the most prodigiously talented winemakers in Italy. Although age has slowed Giacosa down somewhat, he was in fine form during the several hours we spent tasting his 2004, 2005 and 2006 Barolos and Barbarescos from barrel earlier this year. Simply put, 2004 will go down as one of the all-time great Giacosa vintages for both Barolo and Barbaresco. The Red Label Riservas are the Barbaresco Asili and the Barolo Le Rocche del Falletto, but his other wines aren`t too far behind in terms of quality. From cask, the Barolos revealed slightly more promise, but that may be splitting hairs at this level. In 2004 Giacosa also fulfilled a long-standing dream by making his first Barolo from La Morra, the Barolo Croera, which will be released next year. The Croera is made from a newly-acquired vineyard in the Serradenari district of La Morra, an area best known for its Dolcettos. So far Giacosa`s 2005s appear to be well-balanced, yet smaller-scaled wines that will likely drink well relatively early, while the 2006s are decidedly bigger and more powerful. I also noted a marked improvement in the quality of the Barbaresco Santo Stefano, which is the only single-vineyard wine the estate still makes from purchased fruit. Our tasting ended with the 1967 Barbaresco Riserva Asili. It was, in a word...sublime. The world will have to wait for the 2004 Barolos and Barbarescos to be released, in the meantime readers will find no shortage of compelling offerings among this set of new releases from Bruno Giacosa. The 2006 Dolcettos are excellent to outstanding, while the 2005 Barberas reflect the more modest qualities of that vintage. Giacosa is among the producers whose views on the 2003 vintage for Barolo and Barbaresco have changed dramatically in recent years. While many producers draw comparisons with 1947, Giacosa is one of the very few who can speak from personal experience. At first pessimistic, he initially thought he might not bottle any of his top wines but as time has passed his stance has changed, and today he is much more enthusiastic about the vintage.

Police in London are holding a 28-year-old man after the body of a Pakistani-born woman was found stuffed inside a suitcase beside the Thames.
The unidentified man, who was arrested on Tuesday, is suspected of killing Adeeba Ahmed, 27, a Pakistani national living in Britain.
She went missing last Saturday, the Metropolitan Police said.
Her body was found in a black Samsonite suitcase that was seen on Monday by a passerby along the banks of the Thames at Barnes, a well-to-do residential area in south-west London.
Police said she was last seen on her way to the hairdressers on Saturday near London's main Heathrow airport, where she worked as a check-in assistant, before she was supposed to enjoy a Valentine's Day dinner with her husband.
A post-mortem examination concluded that she had been strangled, with no signs of a sex attack or beating.
Her body had been found clad in a black V-neck sweater, pants and underwear, but without shoes or jewellery.

Connections, 1st mission by Aezrin
Hello! Welcome to my thread for my first Foundry Mission: Connections. If you are looking for a reasonably brief, but attention holding mission with a few twists along the way, check it out.
Mission Name:
Minimum Level:
Project ID:
Estimated Mission Length
: 10-20 minutes
Type of mission: Mixed medium space + light ground combat. Storytelling elements include action, twists, and surprise events.
This is my pilot mission, meaning that it is a test for me across the board before developing a mission series. Key questions I'm looking for feedback on are:
Is the mission fun?
Is the storytelling engaging?
Do you have any good trigger transition tips?
What element did you enjoy most?
Would you like to see more?
Thank you for your time in reading my post, I hope you check out and enjoy my first mission!

Thank you again.

----------Report Start-----------
This is a great mission with excellent map design, tough but fun battles and very well written story dialogue. For a very first mission you did outstanding. It makes me look forward to the series you plan to create. If the writing and map design is as good as you have done with this one I look forward to seeing them. You really need to flesh out the description because you are cheating yourself out of potential players who do not read my forum posting.
I would definitely recommend this mission to other players.
Below are some things I noted while playing the mission that I wanted to let you know about. Everything in this write up should be seen as suggestions on ways I felt you could improve certain elements of the mission. They are yours to do with as you see fit.
Mission Description:
This is a short description. You should consider adding a little more story to draw the player in and make them want to click "Hail". I noted no spelling or grammatical errors with this description.
Grant Mission Dialogue:
This is a very intriguing grant dialogue. Consider changing the grant dialogue from [MissionInfo] format. Your use of it in the follow up dialogue is better suited as it actually contains information that pertains to the mission. I noted no spelling or grammatical errors with this dialogue.
Mission Task:
Consider adding the start location of the first custom map in the initial mission task to include the sector block. I noted no spelling errors with this task.
Mission Entry Prompt:
This is a good use of the prompt. I noted no spelling or grammatical errors with this prompt.
Andoria System:
This is a good map design with fun battles and well written story dialogue. I noted no spelling or grammatical errors with this dialogue or any issues with the map.
Andoria Debris Site:
This is a good map design with tough but fun battles and well written story dialogue. I noted no spelling or grammatical errors with this dialogue. I noted a couple of items to consider changing:
-Consider using [MissionInfo] dialogue rather than using [OOC] dialogue for mission specific goals. Specifically the initial dialogue uses [OOC] dialogue to tell the player what they must do to reach the objectives.
-Consider adding respawn points further into the map. The battles are pretty well balanced but the last one is pretty tough.
Andoria System:
This is a good map design with a fun battle and well written story dialogue. However as I proceeded forward to engage the enemy there is dialogue that pops up just before I engaged. I do not think this was intentional. Once I read the dialogue after combat it seemed to fit post combat, except for the "Warped" dialogue which refers to the Klingon ship as if it still existed. Specifically the dialogue says "[Rank], the Klingon ship is somehow creating massive spatial distortions". It almost felt as if the "Warped" dialogue would fit prior to combat and "Warped 2 and 3" dialogues fit post combat.
Fluidic Andoria:
This is a good map design with fun optional combat and well written story dialogue. I noted no spelling or grammatical errors with this dialogue. I noted one item to consider changing:
-The spatial distortion is visible from the minute the player spawns. Was this intentional? Based on the dialogue that follows the "Locate, Beam up Borg tech" tasks it seems that was not intended. Consider making it appear after the task is completed by using the "State" settings on the object.
Andoria System:
This is a nice map design with well written story dialogue and is a nice mission wrap up. I understand the need to bring the player back to this map to end the story but you should add a little more in depth explanation of what happened in the dialogue. There is barely enough dialogue there to justify the map I would normally call the lack of dialogue an issue. Add to that you leave us hanging?
I noted one item to consider changing:
-Consider changing "A starfleet task force has already arrived at Andoria" to read "A Starfleet task force has already arrived at Andoria".
---------End Report----------
Thanks again for authoring and for giving me the chance to review your work. You did a great job for your first mission and I am looking forward to playing/reviewing more of your work in the future.

$10,000 reward offered for information after 18 year old shot in face earlier this month
Mesquite police are offering a $10,000 reward for information about the shooting of an 18-year-old woman earlier this month.
Marisol Bucio was leaving work around 11 p.m. Jan. 8 when she was shot in the face at a parking lot near the intersection of North Mesquite Drive and Town Centre Boulevard. Investigators believe someone in a passing vehicle fired the shot, police said.
Bucio had to undergo surgery to remove the bullet from behind her eye. She was recently released from the hospital and may have permanent damage to her eye, police said.
Surveillance footage captured an image of the suspect vehicle. It appears to be a four-door sedan, possibly a Cadillac.
Oak Farms Dairy is offering the monetary reward for information leading to the indictment of the shooter. The reward is offered for the next six months.
Anyone with information can call Mesquite police at 972-285-6336.

Design & Public Housing
April 27th, 2010India is the second highest populated country in the world with nearly 1.3 billion populations contributing to 17% percent of world population. It is expected that the trend if continues will exceed China in 2030 with an estimated 1.53 billion people living on this motherland. This is really scary as the resources to support this population are not growing at the pace expected and scarier is the urban population will be almost 50% by 2050. Presently though the urban population is at 27.8% the rate of urbanization is overshooting the predictions of our so-called planners and social scientists. With this growth scenario the demand for housing in urban areas also has grown considerably and since six decades the urban development policies by the various governments in power have hardly taken any initiative to bridge the gap between "Demand and Supply". Hence one may say that the housing sector; particularly public housing in India has not delivered and the deficit still keeps growing in millions and presently if the calculations are right it stands at 24.7 million units. If numbers do not tally then the quality and comfort aspects of the housing units delivered so far is equally alarming. In a hurry to satisfy numbers we forget or sideline the quality of living and the conditions of comfort where a person can bet at optimum both psychologically and physiologically. Traditionally in India the vernacular architecture provides a variety of architecture as a response to the micro and macro climatic and socio-cultural situations. For instance in south Tamil Nadu, the coastal houses have "kattuppandal" as a significant feature of architecture which is the "Wind Catcher" facilitating air movement required as comfort criteria for a Warm Humid Condition.
In the year 1984 I had joined the Bartlett School of Architecture and Planning, UCL London for my post graduation in Architecture with a specialization in Environmental Design. The first few weeks of the course was only about Human Psychology and Physiology. We had to read "Sensations and Perceptions" by Stanley Coren, Lawrence M Ward, James T Enns. My professor at that time was Dr Ron. Hawks a renowned name in the field of Space Psychology in Built Environment. We were experimenting extensively on human body and the function of "Hypothalamus" in the brain in relation to human comfort. At some point I thought I had joined a wrong course and I wanted to quit. However I pursued further and by the first quarter I realized the connection between human comfort and architecture. Architecture is a unique phenomenon that has a delicate connection between the people and the space that they occupy. A Danish professor P Ole Fanger at the Technical University of Denmark who defined comfort not only on qualitative terms but also with an equation involving various parameters to assess the level of comfort quantitatively developed the concept of Comfort and more importantly "Thermal Comfort". Hence comfort according to him was " A state at which a human being feels both psychologically and physiologically at equilibrium so as to perform at optimum level".
This complicated comfort equation is the most commonly adopted. It is based on experiments involving humans exposed to a uniform environment under steady state conditions. The comfort equation establishes the relationship among the environment variables, clothing type and activity levels. Hence, the equation gives information on how to predict Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) which is the mean vote expected to arise from averaging the thermal sensation vote of a large group of people in a given environment. The aspects of PPD- Percentage People Dissatisfied and LPPD-Lowest Percentage People Dissatisfied was evolved. He went on to experiment and say that LPPD was 5% given a perfect environment. Hence whatever environment one creates or assumes perfect there seems to be a dissatisfaction level of 5%.
The thesis on "Thermal Comfort in Housing" submitted by me at the University of London in 1985 experimented some of the public housing schemes in Chennai and also the computer model developed by HUDCO for the sites and services schemes which were quite popular those days. The thesis results alarmingly showed how the very aspect of bio-climatic and comfort criteria were hardly applied to these housing schemes. The results further predicted the discomfort level as very high encouraging psychological and physiological stress and other health complications.
The public housing programmes today talk about "Sustainable Development" and the housing policy 2007 document stresses the need for conservation of natural resources and formulation of regulations & bye-laws that are environment friendly, investment-friendly and revenue-generating. This seems to be a good trend and quite a departure from the early eighties. But the question is how far these regulations and environmental friendly policies are implemented, monitored and enforced.
We all know that the building sector accounts for a significant and increasing part of the worldwide energy consumption and is responsible for important greenhouse gas emissions. This is why rational use of energy and development of renewable energy sources appear as strategic solutions considering the significant resources available. In this context, energy efficiency in the building sector and particularly the Housing sector will be more and more considered as a key issue of the future and will be a challenging task for the state sponsored housing agencies whose deficit goes in millions by every year.

This really got me thinking. Most of the people I know who have a personal computer use it for only a few things. Internet being the main reason (web surfing, email, social networking), watching videos or movies, and playing games. The fact is, all of this can be done on an iPad.
The fact is an iPad can do a whole lot more. The power in the iPad 3, and now 4, can handle video and photo editing, desktop publishing, and a whole lot more. If you add a physical keyboard to an iPad you not only get a better input device, you free up the screen space taken away by the virtual keyboard.
The quandary is this. If you get a high-end iPad and a good keyboard why not just go with a full laptop. The 64GB iPad is $700. Then you add in the Logitech thin keyboard case to bring it up to $800. On the Apple Store web site, they have a refurbished MacBook Air 11-inch for $830.
This is the problem. Yes the iPad is easy to use, and since you don't always need the keyboard, is more portable. But for just a few dollars more you get a full functioning laptop running a full operating system. It has built-in ports, backlit keyboard, and multi-gesture trackpad. If you don't need the extra storage or keyboard, an iPad can be an inexpensive choice starting at $329.
Personally, at the high end, I would go with the Air. As good as the iPad is, in most situations the Air will do so much more for practically the same price. In a few more years, this line will blur to the point where this choice won't be so easy. Until then, there is enough separation to keep the tablets in one camp and the PC in another.

Costume Information
General | |
Time Taken : | 3 hours so far |
Description | |
So this character is something I've wanted to cosplay since I read the books. I found out that my close friend Frederica_La_Noir also has a passion for the books and we have decided to cosplay Sabriel and Lireal together. We will hopefully be doing these when she comes to visit but no doubt they will feature at a UK con at some point. UPDATE 20/02/13 Hopefully the plan is to wear this for Ayacon 2013. I am very behind on finding all the bells but I always knew that would be the most difficult aspect of this cosplay. We've decided to opt to make the surcoats out of wool. The books state that it's a linen surcoat but with the ridculour amount of embroidery required wool will probably look a lot nicer on completion. Also I have opted to make my Surcoat blue. This is because blue is the colour of the Abhorsen blood line and even though the books never mention the colour of Lirael's surcoat I believe this colour to be the most accurate. |
Going to be epic 8D xxx
Oh my f*cking god! I was just saying to someone the other day that someone needs to cosplay an Abhorsen! This is amazing, I am so excited! I can't wait to see this!!!!!
I love this series so much - will look forward to seeing this! :D
Ohh I'm doing Sabriel!!! I was going to come to Ayacon but i don't think I am now, that would have been awesome!!!!
Oh my gosh cannot wait! I love the progress! only a couple of months :O where has the time gone! I really need to get my arse into gear with Sabriel :).

Surcoat Progress (Posted 15th June 2013) Lirael's Surcoat is embroidered with Gold Stars (Clayr) and Silver Keys (Abhorsen). Unfortunately the wool I have combined with the Silver/Gold Paint isn't very good so I need to paint it with White acrylic first. Since the star motif I have decided on is just lines I will probably machine embroider them, as with the silver line on the key but the the circle will need to be done by hand since I'm quite rubbish at circle. The painting is also very time consuming - this was 6 hours of painting T_T |

Beautiful girl wherever you are
I knew when I saw you you had opened the door
I knew that I´d love again after a long long while
I´d love again.
You said " hello" and I turned to go
But something in your eyes left my heart beating so
I just knew that I´d love again after a long long while
I´d love again.
Refrain: It was destiny´s game
For when love finally came on
I rushed in line only to find
That you were gone.
Whenever you are I fear that I might
Have lost you forever like a song in the night
Now that I've loved again after a long long while
I´ve loved again.
Repeat Refrain
Beautiful girl I´ll search on for you
'Til all of your loveliness in my arms come true
You've made me love again after a long long while
In love again
'And I´m glad that it´s you
'Hmm beautiful girl

Temporary Home
posted 6 years ago
I have two male ferrets that within in the first hour of living in the cage could no longer enjoy it. The shelves are not made to with stand 2 ferrets on them at the same time causing them to bow tremendouly. Each time the boys used the ramp of the twisted slide it came off the shelf. This is very dangerous because the top cause of death in small animals is falling.
While the concept behind the cage was great. It's obvious it was truly tersted by animal lovers.
Pros: Cool design, lots of doors, and big
Cons: not durable

ls1 cooling problem
I have an ls1 in my yota with the radiator in the bed and the motor keeps over heating. At first i thought that it maybe a thermostat so i replaced it. Still had the same problem, so i replaced the surpentine belt because it was slipping. Still didn't work. I don't think that it is the water pump because when you remove the preasure cap on the radiator after it over heats the coolant is cold and is under preasure. I can't figure out what the problem is. Any suggestions?

Are you sure about the water pump? Some of those engines had a reverse flow pump. Or if you are turning it backwards, it is just cavitating instead of moving water. Thermostat is in correctly isn't it?

Yeha the thermostat is in right because there is on;y one way to put it in because it is built into the housing. I don't think that the surpentine belt is on wrong because the tentioner pulley is level with the top of the water pump pulley so it seems logical to me that the belt run under the water pump and aver the tensioner pulley.

I've had a couple LS1 motors.
Do you have 1 square inch of radiator per cubic inch? Is it an early model that could have the bad head gasket problem? I think the early 2000 and prior had this problem. I had a 2000 SS that would boil over sitting in the driveway after pounding on it. My 04 doesn't do it after beatin on it the same way.

Can you just take the thermostat out? I would try that first and then go from there.

When the new aquatic center opens in Greenwood next summer, families from all over the city will come to Freedom Park to swim, splash and cool down.
But before that happens, city officials are ensuring that people can get to the park in the safest, easiest way possible.
The Greenwood parks department is planning to build a half-mile extension of trail connecting Freedom Park to the neighborhoods surrounding it. The trail will be vital in ensuring families can walk or ride bikes to the new aquatic park when it opens in 2015, said Rob

Ritschl, Albrecht (2004) Spurious growth in German output data, 1913-1938. European Review of Economic History, 8 (2). pp. 201-223. ISSN 1361-4916
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Stagnant levels of output and incomplete recoveries in the interwar business cycle have received fresh attention in recent work. Building on the work of Borchardt (1991 1979 ), Fisher and Hornstein (2001) calibrate an augmented RBC model of Germany s interwar economy. They find that sluggish productivity combined with high wage costs explain the depth of Germany s interwar depression. In the very different context of a dynamic Phillips curve, Dimsdale, et al. (2004) arrive at the same conclusion. Cole and Ohanian (1999, 2002) find that output in Great Britain and the United States failed to recover to historical trends after the Great Depression. Beaudry and Portier (2002) find that the labour policies of the Popular Front government contributed to stagnant output levels in France during the 1930s. A common perspective shared by these papers is that productivity growth was already low during the 1920s and failed to recover to trend before World War II.

Stars at the Toronto International Film Festival took a well-deserved time out from the press conferences, red carpets and parties when they visited the InStyle portrait studio at the luxe Windsor Arms Hotel. Emma Roberts, Josh Hartnett, Thandie Newton and more of the festival's most buzzed-about talent hung out to talk about their films, let us in on what they'd be wearing on the red carpet and catch a sugar buzz at the candy bar before heading back out into the giddy whirlwind of the festival. To thank them for stopping by, we sent our guests on their way with a couple of goodies: jewelry from the Everlon Diamond Knot Collection and a Camelbak re-useable water bottle courtesy of Matt Damon and Water.org. "So this is InStyle!" said Nicole Kidman, arriving with Rabbit Hole co-star Aaron Eckhart. "I was sitting in the restaurant yesterday watching these amazing actors walk by and thinking, 'What's in there?'" Click through the gallery below for all the behind-the-scenes photos.

According to Brazilian model Ana Claudia Michels, Lenny made a huge structure to specifically house the show. "She's very important here, that's how she got away with doing this." Michels says. "I'm very, very happy to be chosen as one of the girls to be here today," says Goulart. "She makes the best bathing suits ever!" exclaims model Caroline Francischini, "They are like art on your body."

Watercolor Paintings of a friend
I thought I'd like to share my friend paintings from his collection entitled "Pathways".
He is a master of almost all mediums. Most of the paintings I've seen are done in watercolor. I'll add more photos when I have the time. Hope you'll like it. http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...pse52a3920.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps9a62d85a.jpg |
His work is beautiful! I especially love the top one - I think watercolor is very hard to work with - one more reason I admire such talent. Please post more when you can!
Tell your friend he did a great job. I mess with the medium myself and it not as easy as you'd think.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |
I believe water color is the hardest medium. Unlike oil paintings when you mess up, it can get fix by covering another color layer. You can't do that on watercolor.
I've done some watercolor works but mostly on perspective renderings for my job. |
Here's another one.
Ill post more in few days so I can go back to this thread so those who missed it can see. It sad when it gets buried. http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps74c410bb.jpg |
Nice. You can actually fix mistakes but do it before they dry. Well, you can fix dry paint too with lots of careful scrubbing.
You can always publish the book through amazon. You don't have to go through a normal publisher. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |
Those are very impressive, love the beach hut!!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 |
wow! reminds me of my childhood when I too painted a lot! give my congratulations to your friend..his work is brilliant!
Amazing. Very beautiful. Can't wait to see more of his works.
Thats why it is important to have another paper to test color before you apply. |
http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...psb2ea01c4.jpg |
Wow those are so great!
That's some nice work
Beach with the ocean. Really amazing.

The funeral for 27-year-old teacher Victoria Soto was held in Connecticut on Wednesday (December 19), following a deadly shooting rampage at her elementary school five days ago that left 20 children and six adults dead.
Wednesday also saw the funerals for four more children as well as the principal of Sandy Hook Elementary which was stormed by 20-year-old gunman Adam Lanza on Friday (December 14). After killing his mother at home, Lanza drove to the school and used a semi-automatic assault rifle to kill 20 children and six women.
At the Lordship Community Church in the Connecticut town of Stratford, Soto, who taught first grade, was remembered in a touching memorial service.
The young teacher died while shielding her students from the shots fired by Lanza.
Family and friends gathered to remember a woman who was described by her sister, Carlee, as having a fun-loving spirit.
Connie Delottinville, who graduated with Soto from Stratford High School, spoke to Reuters Television and said, "She was one of the most beautiful people, like the really super popular person, but she was friendly with everyone, like she did not have a mean bone in her body, always smiling and laughing and you could hear her down the hallway. She was a great person and so this is just such a tragic loss and we were going to have our 10-year high school reunion next year and I was really looking forward to seeing her and seeing everyone again and this is quite a damper on things."
A friend of the family, Arlene Bernor, said Christmas was Soto's favorite time of year and that she hoped her family would take solace in the good memories.
"It's going to be tough, I'm sure. It would be tough for any of us, but hopefully they'll remember the happy times, the good times, the times that make Christmas special for Vicki. I'm sure that they'll be able to pull through. They're a strong family. They're a loving family," Bernor told Reuters.
Funerals were also scheduled for 6-year-old Charlotte Bacon, 7-year-old Daniel Barden and 6-year-old Caroline Previdi, while the family of 7-year-old Chase Kowalski invited mourners to a public visitation and prayer vigil.
The massacre of so many children, all of whom were just 6 or 7 years old, shocked the United States and the world and renewed debate over gun control in a nation where the right to bear arms is protected by the Constitution and fiercely defended by many.
Around the globe, newspaper editorials from the Philippines to South Africa urged stronger U.S. gun-control efforts and said they were long overdue.

Putting the needles down
Temporarily, that is. My sample for the Design Which I Can't Talk About is done. I blocked it last night, and it was dry enough by this afternoon for a photo shoot. I wanted to block it to make sure no more fixing was needed, and it was perfect…which is good, because my right hand […]

I've created a monster
When knitting friends learned that I'm beginning to teach Jeffrey to knit, they issued all sorts of dire warnings about guarding my stash. I wasn't terribly worried; his favorite color is brown, and that doesn't have much of a starring role in my stash. Turns out the stash is the least of my worries. Jeffrey […]

Methods: |
Summer colloquia, historical encounter sessions, peer mentoring and observations, field experiences, online discussions, book studies |
This project will help northeastern Michigan districts where about one-fourth of history teachers still need to reach highly qualified status. Each year, teachers will participate in a credit-bearing graduate course, six 3-hour historical encounter sessions, online WebLessons, a 2-day summer colloquium and a variety of sessions focused on pedagogy and lesson development. In addition, 20 teachers each year will attend the summer field experience in New York City. Teachers will participate in one of two cohorts: the first (Years 1-3) will include 40 teachers from Grades K-5, and the second (Years 3-5) will include 40 teachers from Grades 6-12. American Success Through Purposeful Instruction and Rigorous Education will focus on turning points and themes in American history to prepare teachers to help students understand how social, political and legal institutions have been shaped. Graduate courses, guided readings and historical encounter sessions led by historians will help teachers explore the framework of the nation; primary source documents, Web-based resources, recent scholarship and field experiences will present a variety of perspectives on economic, legal and social issues. Pedagogical workshops will focus on strategies that utilize 21st century tools. As part of their learning, teachers will develop lessons that define how the words and deeds of key individuals and interpretations of the nation's founding documents have determined the course of American history. These lessons, videos of historical encounter sessions and links to primary sources will be provided on a project Web site and through a Moodle interactive interface. Project partners will collaborate to create an online theme-based professional development program that can be used by other programs and teachers.

The Montcalm consortium schools are located in a rural central Michigan region that faces persistent challenges, including academic underachievement, poverty, substance abuse, significant achievement gaps and high failure rates on American history achievement tests. Each year, 32 teachers from high-need, low-performing schools will attend two 3-day workshops taught by a team of academic/pedagogy experts from the Smithsonian Institution and a credit-bearing, weeklong summer institute taught by professors from the Central Michigan University history and education departments; in Years 2 and 4, the teachers will participate in summer learning excursions to Washington, D.C., to study with university historians, museum educators and content specialists at the Smithsonian Institution and other historic sites. Teachers from each participating school will attend peer-education forums every two months to explore teacher-identified topics, lesson plan development, modeling and peer education. The project will explore how culture and history have intertwined to shape and steer the American experience and the values and beliefs that define our national identity. Partnerships with the Smithsonian Institution, Central Michigan University and local historic sites/organizations will give the project teachers an opportunity to better understand the social and political conflicts, events and conditions that expanded civil rights, promoted the protection of personal freedom and encouraged the growth of democratic values throughout U.S. history. The project will produce a Web portal for archiving lesson plans, primary sources and material from workshops, seminars and institute lectures. A blog will allow teachers to share best practices and seek advice from peers regarding classroom challenges and content topics.

Title: | Bruguiera Species in Hawai'i: Systematic Considerations and Ecological Implications |
Author: | Allen, James A; Krauss, Ken W; Duke, Norman C; Herbst, Derral R; Bjorkman, Olle; Shih, Connie |
Date: | 2000-10 |
Publisher: | University of Hawai'i Press |
Citation: | Allen JA, Krauss KW, Duke NC, Herbst DR, Bjorkman O, Shih C. 2000. Bruguiera species in Hawai'i: systematic considerations and ecological implications. Pac Sci 54(4): 331-343. |
Abstract: | At least two mangrove tree species in the genus Bruguiera were
introduced into Hawai'i from the Philippines in 1922. The two are described in the most current manual on the flora of Hawai'i as B. gymnorrhiza (L.) Lamk. and B. parviflora (Roxb.) W. & A. ex. Griff. There has, however, been some confusion since its introduction as to the identity of what is currently known as B. gymnorrhiza. Early Hawaiian flora manuals (1948 and earlier) and ecological research reports up until at least 1972 referred to the species as B. sexangula (Lour.) Poir. Flora manuals published after 1948 and recent ecological papers describe the species as B. gymnorrhiza. The reason for the change appears to have been based strictly on an assessment of flower color. In this study we collected specimens of Bruguiera from Hawai'i and known samples of B. sexangula, B. gymnorrhiza, and B. exaristata C. G. Rogers from Australia or Micronesia. Based on a multivariate comparison of flower and hypocotyl morphology of this material, an assessment of other diagnostic attributes, and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) mapping, we conclude that the primary, and perhaps only, Bruguiera species present in Hawai'i is B. sexangula. We argue that the current distribution of Bruguiera in Hawai'i fits the pattern that might be expected of B. sexangula, which is less salt tolerant than B. gymnorrhiza. We also conclude that sufficient regional variation occurs to warrant morphological and genetic comparisons of the three species across their whole geographic range. |
