Civic body warned of legal action over delay
The State Pollution Control Board has pulled up the Kochi Corporation for not renewing the authorisation under the Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules for collection, segregation, transportation and suitable disposal of municipal waste.
The authorisation given by the board had expired more than a year ago.
Reliable sources in the board said that the civic body's delay made all its waste disposal operations 'illegal and in violation of the municipal solid waste rules.' The corporation is likely to face legal action, as it had not initiated any steps to renew the authorisation despite receiving at least three reminders from the board.
According to the Municipal Solid Waste Rules, the municipal authority or an operator of a facility shall make an application in Form-I for grant of authorisation for setting up waste processing and disposal facility, including landfills, from the State board.
Senior board officials said that the corporation should have organised house-to-house collection of municipal solid waste through community bin (central bin) or house-to-house collection or collection on regular pre-informed timings, as per the provisions included under the municipal solid waste rules.
The civic body should also devise collection of waste from slums and squatter areas or localities, including hotels, restaurants, office complexes and commercial areas. Waste from slaughter houses, meat and fish markets, fruits and vegetable markets, which are biodegradable in nature, should be managed scientifically.
Biodegradable waste
The corporation should introduce storage facilities by taking into account quantities of waste generation in a given area and the population densities in each region. Steps need to be taken to ensure that the storage facility is accessible to the users. The biodegradable waste should be processed by composting, vermi-composting, anaerobic digestion or any other appropriate biological processing for stabilisation of wastes.
Board sources said that the corporation had failed to adhere to the rules thanks to the breakdown in the collection, storage and disposal of solid-waste mechanism, especially after the Brahmapuram solid-waste treatment plant became defunct.
Preliminary studies made by the board found that the civic body had failed miserably to tackle the solid-waste menace properly.
It is learnt that the board will soon write to the corporation asking why legal action should not be taken against it for not renewing the authorisation under the municipal solid-waste management rules.

Awe-Inspiring: A new way for leaders to lead and mentor
In business today, organizations are consistently faced with the micro-managing style leaders. There is hope as Chandler and Black argue in their introduction, offering ideas, methods, practices ways of thinking, and ways of being that will allow leaders in organizations to create a team that functions as well without a manager as it does when the manager is there. The importance of leadership and mentoring coexist and play a vital role in the lifeline of an organization. Chandler and Black ask the reader would you rather inspire your people or control them? Would you rather allow the opportunity to become successful or would you prefer to force results to happen? Learning to trust that people have greatness within them, will allow leaders to unlock their people¿s potential, which will increase the level at which they perform to a lace they never imagined. The authors show step-by-step actions leaders can take to achieve the hand-off leadership methods. The book points out that there is an upside and downside to leadership actions and behaviors. To increase success of the hands-off leader, the book offers guidelines on how to handle situations and create a successful environment. Leadership can be reckless and a determining fixture for failure when poorly trained. Team players can lack enthusiasm and judgment when led by an incompetent leader. The authors stress great leadership will create a culture in which teamwork will simply grow. Organizations do not need teamwork training managers themselves need hands-off-leadership training so they can learn to mentor success instead of trying to impose productivity. An interesting chapter deals with waking up to the whole system. It is important to feel connected and bring people together. I was surprised at the example of a person being criticized in a team meeting and how the authors suggest the leader should stop the meeting and let the team know he or she is going to invite the person being criticized to the next meeting so everyone can all talk together. The idea is to bring people together and let people know how connected they are. This will eliminate the idea of unimportant people in the organization and it will help people feel more interconnected. I found this text to be enlightening and a step toward the changes needed for more effective organizational leadership versus the many ineffective micromanager leaders of today. The 223 pages of this book are straightforward and effortlessly applied by anyone who is interested in becoming a manger/leader, or currently a manager, or wishing to make changes in their leadership style. The book could without doubt be recommended for the easy chair business reader.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

An empowering guide to happier managing
Steve Chandler and Duane Black present an approach to management that promises to lower your stress level, increase your happiness and allow everyone in your organization to be more creative and productive. The idea is that old-style, hands-on micromanagement does not engage today¿s workers. The book tries to persuade readers through emotional appeals, which can be illuminating but sometimes appear strained. The book includes interesting quotes from all kinds of people, including Peter Drucker, Deepak Chopra, Napoleon Hill (whom the authors criticize), Voltaire and others. We say the authors¿ core ideas are persuasive, but the style might lean a little too much on intangible insights for some readers. However, this is a great book if you are a stressed-out manager who wants to find a new approach. Read this, calm down and stop micromanaging.Was this review helpful?

Media Advisory: GenSpera 2014 BIO International Presentation Available
SAN ANTONIO, June 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — GenSpera, Inc. (OTCQB: GNSZ), a leader in developing prodrug therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, releases the 2014 BIO International presentation by Chairman and CEO, Craig Dionne, PhD from the 2014 BIO International Convention held June 24th in San Diego, California.
Dr. Dionne presented interim results from the Phase Ib and ongoing Phase II study for lead drug candidate, G-202.
-- G-202 Data in Hepatocellular (HCC) Patients (Ph I and Ph II) -- All patients previously progressed on, or were intolerant of, sorafenib -- Outstanding clinical safety profile -- Well tolerated with easily managed and predictable side effects -- No effect on bone marrow! -- 80% of patients with stable disease (no tumor growth) at two months -- 50% of patients with stable disease for >/= 4 months -- Long-term disease stabilization (>/= 9 months) in 15% of patients -- One patient remains on treatment > 22 months -- End of bone pain in one patient with vertebral metastasis
The full BIO presentation is available for view at:
About GenSpera
GenSpera's technology platform combines a powerful, plant-derived cytotoxin (thapsigargin) with a prodrug delivery system that provides for the targeted release of drug candidates within a tumor. Unlike typical chemotherapeutic agents, thapsigargin results in cell death irrespective of the rate of cell division, which may provide an effective approach to kill both fast- and slow-growing cancers. GenSpera's lead drug candidate, G-202, is activated by the enzyme PSMA, which is found at high levels in the vasculature of liver and glioblastoma cancers and in the vasculature of almost all other solid tumors. G-202 is therefore expected to have potential efficacy in a wide variety of tumor types.
G-202 Phase II clinical trials are underway in both hepatocellular carcinoma and glioblastoma patients.

does the bump look like this? http://www.dermnet.org.nz/viral/img/hsimplex2-s.jpg and turn into something a little like this? http://www.doctorspiller.com/images/Aids/HerpesWhitlow.jpg (don't be alarmed about 'Aids' in the url - this is NOT necessarily a symptom of HIV/AIDS!)
Those are pictures of herpes whitlow - that's the herpes virus on the skin of your hands; you can pick it up sometimes from sucking or biting your finger if you have a cold sore, or in some other ways too. You can treat it with herbal remedies like lysine or lemon balm, or get antiviral tablets or creams from your doctor if that's what it is.
Don't touch your or anyone else's eyes, mouth or genitals when you have the lump if it is that. If you want to know for sure you could go the doctor as soon as you get the lump and have it swabbed for the herpes virus. 'Herpes' sounds scary because people associate it with STIs but it's actually a really common virus and you can get it in all kinds of ways apart form sex.

ARMM governors urge Kiram followers to come home
More News from Leila B. Salaverria
MANILA, Philippines—Amid the escalating conflict in Sabah, governors from the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao on Monday appealed to Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III to ask his followers to peacefully return to the country.
The five ARMM governors– Abdusakur Tan of Sulu; Sadikul Sahali of Tawi-Tawi; Esmael Mangudadatu of Maguindanao; Jum Akbar of Basilan; and Mamintal Adiong Jr. of Lanao del Sur– also said the use of force was not the way to pursue the sultanate's claim to Sabah, and implored it to follow international rules and protocols in fighting for their cause.
They said the Filipinos working quietly in Sabah are being displaced or deported, and even those living in the nearby Mindanao provinces are affected.
They also urged President Aquino to work for a peaceful resolution to the sultanate's claim to Sabah, and taking history into account.
Tan said the governors, as fellow brothers in Islam of Kiram, intend to meet with the sultan to discuss the issue with him.
Sahali, for his part, said that if the Philippine and Malaysian governments would allow it, the governors would want to talk to the leader of the sultanate's "royal army," now battling it out with Malaysian forces after landing in Lahad Datu, Sabah weeks ago to press the sultanate's claim to the territory.
In a press conference on Monday, the ARMM governors said they are concerned about the violence in Sabah that has cost the lives of their Muslim brothers, and the rising tension has affected so many innocent people.
"We appeal to Sultan Jamalul Kiram III to call on his followers to peaceably come home," the governors said in their statement, read during a press conference.
"We are calling on all parties to exert more effort to resolve this standoff in a peaceful and honorable manner," they also said.
They said violence was not the solution to the Sabah dispute, even as they stressed that they respect the sultanate's claim to the territory.
"While we understand, respect, and honor the claims of the heirs of the sultanate of Sulu to Sabah, we urge Sultan Kiram to take into account that aggression and violence are not the way to advance this cause. We further ask that he and his family abide by international rules and protocol in pursuing their claim," they said.
According to them, the violent encounters in Sabah villages have been displacing some of the 600,000 Filipinos quietly living and working there, forcing them to flee to ARMM or causing them to be deported. But the region may not have enough resources to feed and house them.
At the same time, the conflict has been affecting the people in ARMM by driving up the prices of commodities, usually sourced from nearby Sabah, they said.
Tan said the governors have convened the expanded peace and order council, which adopted the resolution addressed to the Malaysian and Philippine governments and appealing for a cessation of hostilities. He also said they are calling for leniency for the Filipinos working in Sabah.
As for reports that the sultanate's supporters were going to Sabah on their own to reinforce the sultanate's armed followers there, Tan and Sahali said they had not monitored any such movement in their provinces.
Tan said he thinks the sultanate's supporters must return to the country first before talks with the government could commence.
He also said he had learned that prior to the eruption of violence in Lahad Datu, there had been talks between the sultanate's royal forces in Sabah and "concerned individuals" who were persuading them to come back.
During the talks, he said, the representative of the sultanate's forces in Sabah put forward the suggestion that they be allowed to return to Sulu and Tawi-Tawi without being arrested or held liable. But before this could be resolved and any agreement reached, things took a violent turn.
A gunfight between the sultanate's army and Malaysian forces first erupted Friday in Lahad Datu, leading to casualties on both sides. In subsequent days, the tension spilled over to Semporna where some of Kiram's relatives reside.

chuck whens by gogo in the 2nd… lol
Eddie Bravo tweeted this picture of Chuck Liddell training at 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu in Hollywood. Chuck is apparently looking to sharpen up some BJJ skills just in case he ends up on his back with Tito Ortiz. Chuck celebrated his 40th birthday just a few days ago, putting him into that prestigious over 40 fighters club.
I will do r best 2 turn him into a jiu jitsu master [Eddie Bravo]
chuck whens by gogo in the 2nd… lol
he should have been along time ago, thats why is sucks because he never changed up his training anf must not have been training everything lol
it does seem kinda late ……but thats what they said about Couture

did eddie bravos head just get bigger or something
I noticed Eddie Bravos head too. Wierd……. looks photo chopped.
I think he should evolve his stand up game. Learn to use head movement and keep his hands up plus kick and knee more… maybe a muay thai clinch.

'Entertainers, role models must be drug-free'
More News from Julie M. Aurelio
MANILA, Philippines—Entertainers and other popular role models should be drug-free, said the head of the country's anti-illegal drugs agency, echoing the sentiments of President Benigno Aquino III when he struck multiawarded actress Nora Aunor from the list of national artists.
Arturo Cacdac, director general of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), on Friday reminded popular personalities who are looked up to as role models to stay away from illegal drugs.
Aunor had previously been held on drug charges in the United States.
"There is a need for greater professionalism and responsibility for persons who are under constant public scrutiny and are looked up to as positive role models. That is why they should take it upon themselves not to be hooked or involved in illegal drugs, or anything else for that matter, because it sends a wrong impression to their followers," Cacdac said in a statement.

Haym Solomon: Remembering a Founding Father on Independence Day
You won't find the name Haym Solomon in text books in your local elementary school. U.S. History classes at the finest universities rarely utter his name. But without the dedication of this Polish Jewish immigrant to the American Revolution, the Fourth of July would not be celebrated as Independence Day.
Born in Lesno, Poland in 1740, his parents were refugees, who escaped religious persecution in Portugal. As a young man he traveled extensively throughout Europe learning numerous languages and developing an extensive knowledge of currency and finance.
Through his family and personal experiences, Solomon understood the injustice of life under an oppressive government. He became acquainted with the American colonial struggle against taxation without representation when he came to New York in 1772.
Solomon started a brokerage company that would become very successful and bring him prominent clients loyal to the King of England. However when news surfaced regarding the fighting in Lexington and Concord, his own loyalty was with the colonists' struggle. He would take up the cause of freedom, joining New York's revolutionary Sons of Liberty.
Solomon put his life on the line numerous times for the cause.
First arrested in September 1776 with all known members of the Sons of Liberty, Solomon and his cohorts were blamed, and most likely rightfully so, for burning down nearly 500 homes the British planned to use to house their troops. During his time at the inhumane prison known as the "Old Sugar House," he got pneumonia and almost died.
When he recovered, Solomon noticed that the Hessian prison guards who spoke German could not communicate with their British counterparts. He told the British he spoke the German language and became an interpreter. Under the watchful eye of the British, Solomon nevertheless used his language skills to convince over 500 guards to abandon the throne and join the colonists' fight for Independence.
Solomon was paroled, but eventually arrested again and sentenced to death on charges of espionage. He was able to escape, and made his way to Philadelphia.
Solomon continued his business and was appointed by Congress as Postmaster to the French military as well as numerous allied-nation ministers. He enjoyed great success, and his financial skills and dedication to the cause brought him to the attention of Minister of Finance, Robert Morris.
Solomon started handling financial transactions for the Continental Congress. He used his network and contacts with other governments to raise money for the military effort and also gave personal loans to members of the new government so they could stay in Philadelphia and continue their work for the new nation.
Solomon's most famous contribution came in August 1781. British General Charles Cornwallis was struggling in Yorktown against southern forces of the Continental Army. General George Washington needed to march his army to the coastal city to deliver the final blow against the King's army. But Washington's forces were near mutiny: Food and supplies had run out and congress had no money to make necessary purchases as well as pay the troops.
It is believed that Washington said to Robert Morris, "Send for Haym Solomon."
Legend has it that word reached Solomon during "Kol Nidre" services at his Philadelphia synagogue Mikveh Israel on Yom Kippur, Judaism's holiest day. Solomon, an observant Jew, nevertheless raised $20,000 ($425,000 today), and one version of the event has it that Solomon raised the crucial funds from his fellow congregants.
Now funded, thanks in large part to Solomon, Washington went on to win the final battle of the Revolutionary War.
History books don't teach our children about Haym Solomon. But without his dedication to liberty and the American Revolution, tea might still be our national drink.
You can find a monument featuring Solomon with George Washington and Robert Morris in downtown Chicago along the river and Wacker Drive. A statue that bears his name can also be found in Los Angeles at Pan Pacific Park. But with these exceptions and the creation of a commemorative stamp in 1975, history and future generations won't likely know about the priceless contribution of the first prominent Jewish American.
As we celebrate Independence Day and remember the American Revolution, names such as Washington, Franklin and Adams will come to mind. But this year, let's add another name to our thoughts – a Founding Father whose dedication to the birth of our nation is just as great as the aforementioned patriots, and without his efforts, July 4 would be just another day we'd spend with our families playing cricket.

The former Cedarburg High School teacher fired for viewing pornography on his school computer has succeeded in his request to have the state appeals court, rather than the state Supreme Court, decide his appeal.
It's still possible, however, that the Supreme Court could ultimately decide the case.
Robert Zellner, who was fired in January 2006, took his termination to court after the Cedarburg School Board refused an arbitrator's order to rehire him. When an Ozaukee County circuit judge upheld the firing, Zellner appealed to the state appeals court.
Last month, when the appeals court said it wanted to send the case directly to the state Supreme Court without issuing a decision, Zellner attorney Jina Jonen of the state teachers union asked the Supreme Court to reject the appeals court request.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court decided to reject the appeals court request, sending the case to the lower court for a decision. The justices did not state a reason.
Jonen said in an email she hopes the Supreme Court decided not to take the case because it "recognized that the law surrounding the standards for enforcement of arbitration awards remains clear; and we are confident that, under those standards, the arbitrator's award will be enforced."
The Cedarburg School District's attorney could not be reached for comment.
The appeals court had said it believed the high court should decide whether "strong public policy" reasons are sufficient for overturning an arbitrator's decision. The appeals court said a ruling by the high court would "reach every employee and every employer who enters into a collective bargaining agreement with a binding arbitration clause" - a number estimated to exceed 250,000 people in Wisconsin.
After the appeals court issues its ruling, either Zellner or the School Board could appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
Zellner is also suing the Cedarburg School District in federal court, seeking $9 million for alleged violation of his civil rights. Zellner said he was targeted for termination because of his activities as a union leader.

If you're a kidnapped American hoping for help from the government, 'that isn't going to happen'
Wednesday, August 20, 2014
James Foley's kidnapping and murder is a sad trend in the war in Syria, but it's paying off for terrorist groups. They've collected millions of dollars in ransoms, and journalist David Rohde, who spent seven months in Taliban captivity, says current kidnapping policies aren't keeping journalists safe.

Classicsonline Home » Artists » » Herak, Miroslav
Born and educated in Bohemia, latterly at the University of Prague,
Dussek for some years led a peripatetic existence as a pianist
that took him to Holland, to Russia, to Lithuania, to various
cities in Germany, with possible lessons from C.P.E.Bach in Hamburg
and, in 1786, to Paris. With the revolution he took refuge, in
1789, in London, where he married the singer, pianist and harpist
Sophia Corri. Here he joined his father-in-law in music publishing
and persauded the piano-maker Broadwood to extend the range of
the keyboard. In 1799, with the failure of his business, Dussek
moved to Hamburg, performed successfully in Bohemia and entered
the service of Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia, whose death
he mourned in an elegiac piano sonata. His final years were spent
in the service of Talleyrand in Paris, where he died in 1812.
Orchestral Music
Dussek wrote a number of concertos for piano, piano and harp and two pianos. He makes some demands for virtuosity in music that was much admired in his own time.
Chamber Music
Chamber music by Dussek includes a number of sonatas for violin and piano and some for piano trio. The harp features quite extensively in original compositions and transcriptions, there are string quartets, piano quintets and a Serenade for nonet. A topical novelty is The Naval Battle and Total Defeat of the Dutch Fleet by Admiral Duncan, scored for piano, violin, cello and percussion.
Piano Music
As a pianist, Dussek wrote a number of works for piano. These include The Sufferings of the Queen of

Now, SilverStone has just released the latest chassis in the Raven series, the RV05. Drawing it's design straight from the RV01, the Raven RV05 continues a trend started by the NZXT H440 with the removal of all 5.25″ drive bays. Without the bays, the RV05 is smaller than many mid-towers while still retaining compatibility for a full range of standard features such as ATX motherboards and power supplies, bays for dual 3.5″ drives and 2.5″ drives, and even water cooling support.

Biden Brings Hopes and High Stakes to Israel
The 'proximity talks,' and what happens if they fail
Now that Vice President Joe Biden has touched down in Israel (and the Israeli military's chief-of-staff has landed in Washington, D.C.), it's time to take a slightly closer look at those indirect peace talks that, ostensibly, are about to kick off.
The idea: U.S. envoy George Mitchell will shuttle between the Israelis and Palestinians, with the ultimate goal of getting the two sides in the same room. Both the Arab League and the Palestine Liberation Organization okayed the talks despite the fact that Israel has not agreed to a full settlement freeze in the West Bank and East Jerusalem—something Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has previously insisted were a precondition to negotiations. (Ah, but these are only indirect peace negotiations, so he hasn't technically backed down from that! Now perhaps you see the appeal of these "proximity talks.")
Meanwhile, a good deal of the purpose behind Biden's trip is to reassure Israel's leadership and people that the United States is still fundamentally behind them—this after a year during which Israel has felt President Barack Obama has been unsympathetic to its point of view; and this after a leaked Foreign Ministry report predicting the administration will take the Palestinian side in the talks and will be too focused on November's midterm elections to devote too many resources to the Mideast anyway.
Biden seems perfect for this mission: unlike Obama, he's been on the political scene for almost four decades, and for the more prominent part of his career has been a powerful figure on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; through all that time, he has been seen as a friend to Israel.
There is real urgency behind these talks. The Palestinians' West Bank leadership may be unwilling to give a bilateral, two-state deal another chance should this latest attempt fall apart. Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat was pretty explicit with Israeli radio, announcing that after this, they would revert to calls for a single, bi-national state (more encouragingly, he said Palestinians were ready to give up parts of the West Bank as long as what they end up with is West Bank-sized).
Looming, also, are the plans of revered Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad: currently engaged in an ambitious and, so far, not unsuccessful campaign of state-building in the West Bank, Fayyad's eventual hope is to build enough of a functioning government and society that, in a year or two's time, the West Bank leadership is ready to declare independence and dare the world not to recognize it.
Palestinian insistence on a one-state solution, and a unilateral declaration of nationhood without border issues (to say nothing of Gaza) resolved: I just named two things Israel emphatically does not wish to see happen. It's becoming clear whom the stakes of these nascent talks might be higher for.

Kilauea Volcano Small Group Adventure Tour

Stop for a short break and continental-style breakfast before continuing to drop down to near sea-level on the way through Hilo where you'll begin the final climb to the summit of Kilauea Volcano and the lush entrance to Hawaii Volcano National Park.

Gary made this day spectacular. We were able to experience lava tubes, lava flows, seaside cliffs, craters and calderas. Short hikes provided personal discovery of the diverse terrain of this amazing island. Outstanding tour, highlighted by an excellent, knowledgeable and fun guide. Do this tour!
Opinión de: Katie P, agosto 2014
Due to hurricane this tour had to be rebooked and work around road closures but the company were so helpful and upgraded me to the twilight tour for free. The driver was so informative and I definitely came away with a much better appreciation of volcanoes, Hawaiian plants and legends. Next time I would do it again and hopefully the crater road will be open.

The recent announcement of Chief Minister Jayalalithaa regarding introduction of subjects such as history, economics and commerce in the newly upgraded schools brings a host of options to students going to these schools.
Administratively, it might require the creation of new teacher posts for the subjects and appointment of teachers trained in these disciplines.
Academically, it means students in schools being upgraded can look beyond conventionally popular options such as medicine and engineering, to consider fields such as chartered accountancy, finance and economics, management, commerce and law.
According to students going to government schools, the tendency among students is to go for the "safe options" that will take them to professional institutions offering courses in medicine or engineering.
"Students tend to choose the science group thinking they will have a good job once they finish a professional course, particularly engineering," says A. Janaki Devi, a class XI student of the Government Girls' Higher Secondary School, Ashok Nagar.
Though she chose the pure science stream because of her keen interest in medicine, many of her friends chose the science stream not knowing what the commerce stream or humanities could offer in terms of career options.
R. Karthik, a class X student says, often students do not know of many courses. "Which subject should one study to become a reporter?" he asks.
Parents also see the move as a welcome change to school education in higher classes. "If everyone becomes a doctor or an engineer, who will pursue law, commerce or the arts? In fact, we need a multidisciplinary approach to learning," says Karl Mozhi, advocate and parent of Janaki Devi.
While introduction of new subjects is seen as a progressive move, teachers and students feel that mere introduction of subjects may not help.
"The department should have programmes where professionals in these fields come and address students on scope for and career opportunities in these subjects. Then, students might be in a better position to take an informed decision," says a class XII mathematics teacher of a Chennai Higher Secondary School.
According to sources in the School Education Department, so far schools that were upgraded from being high schools (upto class X) to higher secondary schools (upto class XII) offered only the science stream. The move to introduce additional subjects is aimed at widening the range of options at Plus-Two.
A senior official says, "Teachers to be appointed to the newly-created posts will be recruited either through the Teachers Recruitment Board or by promotions."

Welcome to PPCD. I'm very excited to have your child be a part of my class this year. We have a fun and exciting year planned. It will be full of literacy experiences, oral language development, free exploration, observation, hands-on experiences, and excitement.
PPCD stands for Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities. Our PPCD classroom is staffed with 1 teacher and 2 instructional assistants. Our children range in age from 3 to 5. I have a morning self-contained program and an afternoon Pre-k/ PPCD Collaboration program. Both programs stress language development and independence. We work closely with the PK teacher and her students to provide opportunities for inclusion each day. There is a PPCD assistant that will be working with the PPCD children in Kindergarten.
Here in Northside ISD the HighScope curriculum is used in all PPCD classrooms. The curriculum is a proven, research-based strategy for early childhood learning. The HighScope curriculum emphasizes adult-child interaction, a carefully designed learning environment, and a plan-do-review process that strengthens initiative and self-reliance in children. Students and teachers are active partners in shaping the educational experience. The HighScope Curriculum integrates all aspects of a child's development, enhancing each child's growth in the foundations of academics as well as in social-emotional, physical, and creative areas.
Now a little about me. I have 20 years of teaching experience. I spent 12 years in Kindergarten and 7 years in Pre-Kindergarten, 1 year in PPCD and have loved every minute of it!

EASTER came early this year for Alain Cabot, an amateur palaeontologist who discovered thousands of dinosaur eggs near the town of Mèze in southern France. The nesting site, one of the largest in Europe, is to be made into an open-air museum, officials announced this month. "It will be the only one of its kind in Europe," says Cabot, "and really the best way to protect the nests."
Cabot found the first eggs 18 months ago, with a team of palaeontologists at the Institute of Evolutionary Science in Montpellier. Excavations of the site, which was once a tropical plain criss-crossed by rivers, have revealed thousands of nests, each containing between 5 and 15 eggs, believed to be between 65 million and 71 million years old.
No one knows which species laid the eggs, but at least six different kinds of egg have been identified. The scientists hope to find the ...

Rayshawn Daniels, 20, 1200 block Chalet Drive, was charged with underage consumption, while a 17-year-old Donair Drive boy and two 17-year-olds from Ging Street, a boy and a girl, were all charged with curfew violation and underage consumption.
In responding to a noise complaint at the Alpine Drive home, officers heard several people run through the back door and heard fences break, the report said. A Perkins police officer snagged Daniels as he walked from the area, while Sandusky officers found the three teens inside one of the bedrooms.
The homeowner later said she allowed her 17-year-old son to stay there, but he was not located when officers searched the home, the report said.
The three teens were handed over to the Erie County Detention Home, while Daniels was released to a sober person.

Committee to submit its report on March 19 or 20
The Legislative Assembly House committee has decided to summon the three former Ministers — who were caught watching porn clips in the Assembly — before it on March 8.
According to sources, a decision to this effect was taken at a meeting of the committee on Thursday. The four-member committee headed by Srishailappa Biradur is learnt to have issued notices to the three former Ministers — Laxman Savadi, C.C. Patil and Krishna Palemar — asking them to appear before it on March 8.
The committee is learnt to have examined the written responses of all the three former Ministers on Thursday. All the three of them reportedly claimed that they were innocent. Mr. Palemar is said to have claimed that the mobile on which the porn clips were watched did not belong to him. Similarly, Mr. Patil has claimed that he did not watch the porn video, but only tried to switch it off. Mr. Savadi has maintained that his act of watching the porn clip was not a deliberate one.
The committee also grilled a journalist belonging to a private Kannada TV channel on Thursday. It is learnt to have posed the same set of questions which it had asked other TV journalists at its meeting on Wednesday. However, one new question that was asked on Thursday was that whether the journalist and his organisation were aware of the relevant provisions of the Cable TV Act which barred them from telecasting porn content.
Emerging out of the meeting, Mr. Biradur said the committee would submit its report to Speaker K.G. Bopaiah either on March 19 or 20 before the commencement of the Budget session. This would mean that the committee's deadline would have to be extended as originally it was scheduled to submit its report by March 13.
The committee's members are S. R. Vishwanath, Suresh Gowda and Nehru Olekar.

By Paul Strauss: Michael Katsidis The Great looked familiar Saturday night at The Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, NV, but he just wasnt the same guy. He fought his usual fight, which is pressure, pressure and more pressure. He out threw Albert Mensah, and definitely created more wind than the Tornado from Ghana, but he just couldnt cause as much damage.
Under the onslaught of Michaels punches, Mensah remained calm, used a shoulder roll and chin tuck defense to stay relatively unscathed, while at the same time picking his opportunities to catch the come at you face first Katsidis. Unfortunately for Michael, his mug was readily available for Mensah to pound on, and before the fight was over, there was considerable swelling around both eyes.
He fought gallantly and kept the fight close based on seer volume punching, but he was the one who was getting nailed with the harder, more telling blows. From the first round on, he showed his ring age. Looking closely, you could see his footwork wasnt quite right. Hes never been pretty to watch, but in the past his legs provided more strength and punching torque, so he could overcome squaring up and coming at you without a jab. He would attack with more speed and strength than he did Saturday. Against Mensah, it was more like he was just there, a definite presence, but a little more stiff-legged than usual, even more hittable, if thats possible. He was also pushing his punches.
The fight had a definite pattern. Michael would force Mensah backwards, and get him where he wanted on the ropes, but his attempts to step around and create different angles fell short. For the most part, Mensah was able to see and adjust to whatever Katsidis wanted to do. The Great couldnt live up to his nickname. He tried and tried hard, throwing a couple hundred more punches then Mensah over the course of the ten rounder, but his volume punch attack lacked real steam. His shots were more like thrusts, failing to really strike. Most of the time he couldnt blast threw Mensahs defense. When he did, the power behind them just wasnt there, and he couldnt quite turn things his way.
His best rounds came after Mensah temporarily punched himself out with big, looping hard swings. Several times Mensah would land good combinations to the available head of Katsidis. He would then convince himself that Katsidis was ready to go, and he would foolishly start unloading with the wild shots. Most missed by a wide margin, and caused him to punch himself out. The experienced Katsidis had enough left in that big heart of his to take those opportunities to get back into the fight. He would crank things up again and jump all over Mensah. It was at those times that some of his shots got through. But, he still couldnt really hurt Mensah, and soon Albert would get his energy back, and start throwing fewer the more precise, straight shots again.
The ebb and flow continued for much of the fight, but viewers couldnt help but see that Michael was taking too many clean punches. The thirty-one year old ring warrior was showing his ring age. Thats when everything starts to slow down just a bit. The legs and footwork dont work quite as well as they used to, and the punches arent quite as sharp. To make matters worse, Michael was in there against a bigger, taller man, who he couldnt muscle as much as he wanted. Fortunately for Michael, the Tornado from Ghana wasnt a big puncher, but Albert could throw hard enough to still cause considerable damage, which usually came in the form of a left uppercut, followed by a right. If those landed, then Albert would come back with a more traditional one-two.
In judging the fight, if you went strictly by the numbers, Katsidis should have got the nod, or at least a draw. Thats how Richard Houck scored the fight. However, if you scored the fight based on which fighter you would rather have been, then you would agree with Patricia Morse Jarman and Richard Ocasio, judges who had it 96-94 and 98-92 respectively over the ten rounder.
Whats next for Michael Katsidis? Going into the Saturday night fight, he obviously was dreaming of a big victory in the junior welterweight class, but he came up short. To him that meant more punishment, and hes taken a lot over the course of his career, while providing a hell of a lot of excitement for fight fans. Maybe he should start thinking about hanging up the gloves? Theres just so much the old noggin can take.

Catalogue Description:
The title of this print lists the names of three different villages in an area northwest of the Yoshiwara and is most likely looking from Minowa and Kanasugi toward Mikawashima. Mikawashima is the site of the shogun's crane hunt in the winter, when cranes migrate to Japan. The shogun, in the company of seventy or eighty others, would release the first hawk; a crane was then captured and lashed to bamboo poles and taken to Kyoto to be presented to the emperor. Cranes were considered extremely auspicious birds, and yet they were hunted and eaten, at least on this special occasion. The crane shown here is the Japanese crane, called "tancho," or "red-crest" after the bald red spot on its head. Today only a few hundred of these protected birds survive in eastern Hokkaido. The tancho has pure white feathers, depicted by a blind-printed pattern on the backs of the birds; the blackening near the shoulders of the upper bird might be from the effects of the atmosphere on white lead pigment.

One would have lost count of the number of times the word 'calm' was used at the Wankhede on Friday ahead of Mumbai Indians' big match against the Chennai Super Kings.
While MI skipper Rohit Sharma is banking on playing at their 'Fortress Wankhede' to ensure they stay 'calm' against the two-time winners, Super Kings need not look any further than their captain MS Dhoni. For, he has that trait in abundance.
Dhoni was calmness personified during CSK's training session on Friday, merely indulging in some gentle off-spinners at first, and then butchering the ball with the bat like only he can. You wouldn't know his men had suffered a mammoth 44-run defeat at the hands of Kings XI Punjab in their last match, in the process also losing their top spot in the points table.
What Dhoni is to CSK, the Wankhede is to MI. Rohit Sharma & Co have been on an unstoppable run at their home turf, winning 10 consecutive matches dating back to last season.
"We know the brand of cricket we need to play here. There is a sense of calmness when we bowl and bat here," Sharma said.
Indeed. MI look a completely different team once they enter the Wankhede. They brushed aside Punjab and Bangalore with aplomb. Their batting unit has started to click with the skipper himself along with the big-hitting Kieron Pollard providing the much-needed stability and aggression, respectively.
The bowling has never been a problem, and it is highly unlikely they will tinker with the attack, even though Praveen Kumar has been added to the squad to replace the injured Zaheer Khan.
One thing, though. Mumbai will like to forget the ugly altercation between Pollard and Royal Challengers Bangalore's Mitchell Starc the last time Mumbai played here. Both Pollard and Starc came under severe criticism but were let off with a fine, and Sharma said he spoke to the West Indian about not repeating it.
"As a captain, it was my duty to tell him what sort of behaviour he should have on the field. I've had a word with him, and he's OK with that. So, hopefully he will not repeat such mistakes," he said.
Both that, and probably the result of the match, will come down to which team does better at staying 'calm'.
