13.07.05 - By Paul Ruby - At an age where most boxers are more than a decade removed from their prime, Bernard Hopkins is seeking to eclipse twenty consecutive title defenses. To suggest that Bernard Hopkins physical ability is impressive would be an understatement; it is simply amazing. Hopkins, however, will be faced with a young, hungry test Saturday evening in Las Vegas when he steps between the ropes to take on 2000 U.S. Olympian Jermain Taylor on HBO Pay-Per-View.
Experience facing youth is scenario that has been played out consistently in the annals of boxing history and there is typically only one certainty the winner will not get the credit he deserves. When Marciano defeated Louis or De La Hoya took down Chavez, the loser was too old and the victor did not get the credit he deserved. When an undefeated prospect like Zab Judah gets stopped by a wily, tough vet like Kostya Tszyu or Fernando Vargas gets beaten by Felix Trinidad, pundits suggest that the loser is not a talented fighter, but merely a prospect who had been protected and subsequently exposed. Suffice it to say, the cry Sunday morning will be that either Hopkins got old overnight or Jermain Taylor has been exposed.
In reality, this is an exciting match-up. Conventional wisdom suggests that Bernard Hopkins age should catch have caught up with him five or more years ago, but it has not appeared that way in the ring. Hopkins did, however, appear to be slowing down just a bit in his fights with Oscar De La Hoya and Howard Eastman. To handle Taylor with the relative ease he handled both of those opponents, Hopkins improve his focus in the ring.
Bernard Hopkins possesses many strengths and relatively few weaknesses. Hopkins consistently arrives in peak physical condition and never has trouble making weight. Hopkins is a precise counter-puncher with excellent patience. Even when the Executioner is seeking to merely counter his opponents shots, he maintains good ring generalship and appears to be in constant control. An exceptional inside fighter, Hopkins is like a scientist in the ring. He begins by evaluating his opponents strengths and weaknesses and then working to neutralize them, often by working the body and tiring them out early. Hopkins is willing to give away occasional early rounds on the cards to ensure the he seizes opportunities to tire his opponents out; J.C. Chavez was another master at this tactic. Defensively, Hopkins is a more skilled fighter than most would give him credit for being. Hopkins may not be as flashy on defense as Pernell Whitaker or Floyd Mayweather, Jr., but he is nearly impossible to hit cleanly. Hopkins tucks his chin better than anyone in the industry and keeps a high guard whenever he is in close quarters.
Jermain Taylor is an exciting young prospect, but he still has a great deal to prove. To be honest, I wish Taylor would have taken on a guy like Howard Eastman, Felix Sturm, or even Maselino Masoe before this fight. Like many writers, though, I believe there is a finite amount of time in which the Little Rock-native can continue to make 160 pounds and he is now forced to take on the guy whos dominated the division for nearly a decade. I really cannot fault Taylor for his level of competition recently, though, as many writers have. Each of his last three opponents Raul Marquez, William Joppy, and Daniel Edouard were projected to be much tougher than they wound up being. Edouard showed the unpolished ability that earned him two draws with the unheralded and modestly talented Dorian Beaupierre while Joppy ran like a coward for 15 minutes after Taylor sent him to the canvas. Marquez fought like the gentleman that he is and gave a spirited effort, but he showed his advancing years and simply could never figure out Taylors precise jab. In any event, Taylor has shown great composure in the ring. Still, it is troubling that he really has not faced a major test yet. Of course, people made the same claim about another young Southerner named Cassius Clay when he took on a grizzled veteran known to have a mean streak in Sonny Liston.
The major question marks in this fight revolve around how the fighters will deal with their opponents respective styles; neither has fought a man like the one he is going to face. In all likelihood, Taylor will be the stronger man in the ring Saturday night; Hopkins has not faced that in quite some time. Hopkins has never faced a fighter with a jab like Taylors or a style capable of frustrating him.
In my opinion, this fight will hinge on two things: to win, Taylor needs to pile up some early rounds and gain confidence and he must also react in kind to Bernard Hopkins rough-housing and dirty tactics. The toughest fights for Hopkins during his winning streak were those in which his opponent actually sought to win the fight and refused to accept his rough-housing Antwun Echols headbutting and bodyslamming him 5 years ago and Robert Allen wrestling with him in their first fight. If Taylor takes a similar tack, he may face a similar result, but it is a risk he must run if he wants to win. If not, he will be lulled to sleep by the counterpunching of Hopkins and wake up some time in the late rounds like Howard Eastman and Robert Allen did recently with 6 minutes left in the fight and an unlikely knockout their only hope for a win. Bernard Hopkins is a dirty fighter and Jermain Taylor should know this going in. Hopkins hits low, he hits on breaks, he turns his opponent away from the referee and sneaks in a low blow, he hits behind the head. Jermain Taylor is surrounded by knowledgeable boxing people, and Im quite sure they know this. Taylor must react when Hopkins challenges him in this way. Taylor must also pile up some early rounds, but he cannot be sloppy in doing so. Taylor must work behind his jab and lay off of his right until finding his range. Few people are capable of controlling a fight with just their jab; Taylor could be one of those people.
Bernard Hopkins is a favorite in this fight for good reason, but many question marks remain. Neither man has been in a competitive fight in quite some time probably five years or more for both fighters. For Hopkins to win, he must counter-punch and fight on the inside. For Taylor to win, he must do the things I mentioned above as well as protect his chin something he has neglected to do at times in the past.
I would like nothing more than to see Jermain Taylor do to Hopkins what a young Ali did to Sonny Liston some 41 years ago. I would love to see him come out as the unheralded underdog with a so-called padded record like a young Felix Trinidad did when he stopped veteran Maurice Blocker in two rounds. Unfortunately, even if Jermain Taylor is Felix Trinidad on Saturday night, history suggests it might not be enough to get past Bernard Hopkins. I believe this fight goes this distance with Hopkins pulling away in the later rounds. Taylor will live to fight another day, but I cannot see him getting by the Executioner in Las Vegas.

By Tom Sellar
Haidle's main characters are two brothers, played by Matthew Stadelmann and Michael Chernus, fresh from all-too-similar (though non-sibling) roles in Rattlestick's previous production, Adam Rapp's American Sligo. As in Rapp's work, Stadelmann plays an impossibly naive ninny and Chernus the wearily reality-facing elder bro who protects him; Haidle's script also shares with its Rappian predecessor an idolized dead mother for whom a cartoonishly absurd replacement duly appears. Nor is Rapp the sole source of the evening's feeling of déj à vu; you can reconstruct Haidle's reading list from his gimmickry. The brothers run an absurd businessa ladder store (cf. the meat department store in Arnold Weinstein's Red Eye of Love), where Chernus's character makes bigger money from black-market heart transplants that give the recipient the original owner's personality (cf. Kenneth Koch's A Change of Hearts).
A wandering poet (Henry Stram) whose heart has been stolen, a millionaire (David Wohl) who can't find his, and a hooker (Deirdre O'Connell) whose aortic musculature is pure gold but totally devoted to her workall escapees from a thousand earlier playsround out the list of major characters. To watch these excellent actors, under Sam Gold's direction, finesse their way through Haidle's mucky paste of cutesy-poo and crassness makes for a deeply dismaying experience; its most annoying aspect is the evidence of Haidle's genuine talent that keeps glimmering through his relentless attempts to display his imagination. It made me recall something the British critic C.E. Montague wrote back in J.M. Barrie's whimsical heyday: "The way to get into heaven is to become as a little child again, so long as you don't keep thinking what an adorable child you are.

Product Description
Releasing in the wake of the 2012 election cycle, this book seeks to move beyond the current media and political warfare and bring together a divided country. Wallis explores how Jesus's agenda can serve the common good, what it takes to sustain a lifelong commitment to social justice, and how reading the Bible as well as the culture can shape our lives for genuine transformation.

Publisher's Description
Both groups have lost the true vision of who Jesus is--a vision that changes everything about us and our world. What we believe about Jesus has the power to transform how we treat all our neighbors--including the poor, the marginalized, and our enemies--and promote the common good.
Jim Wallis steps into our current context with this timely invitation for fellow sojourners on the road of faith to change the world in sustainable, life-giving ways. He explores what Jesus himself said about why he came and why it matters today, showing that our faith impacts our household values, our community values, and our institutional behaviors for the sake of the world. He suggests "Ten Personal Decisions for the Common Good" that will inspire you on your journey.
This is a selection from The (Un)Common Good: How the Gospel Brings Hope to a World Divided.
Author Bio
lead singer of U2; cofounder of ONE.org
Jim Wallis and I have a variety of differences on domestic and international policy, but there is no message more timely or urgent than his call to actively consider the common good.
-Michael Gerson,
op-ed columnist, The Washington Post
I love the work and books and existence of Jim Wallis. His is a profound and always-entertaining voice of reason, reconciliation, and passion for social justice and peace. Each of his books makes me wish I could get it into the hands of more politicians, right-wing Christians, left-wing Christians, secular humanists, economists, and regular people-everyone-so we could see how much we have in common and how much is at stake. Jim Wallis and I do not share many of the same political views, but we share the same heart and soul and love for God and all of God's children. Plus, he's a marvelous storyteller.
-Anne Lamott,
author of Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers
In low-key, almost seductively quiet and unpretentious prose, Wallis persuades more powerfully here than ever before. Arguing that it was 'the world' that was missing in the theology of the church in which most contemporary Americans grew up and that a long-standing emphasis on an 'atonement-only gospel' has obscured Christian allegiance to Jesus's 'gospel of the kingdom,' he lays out the theology of the latter and then issues to all Christians a rallying cry to apply that theology both in private life and in the arena of public activity.
-Phyllis Tickle,
author of Emergence Christianity
I have read all of Jim Wallis's books, books that call evangelicals to full conversion and an ecclesial faith that works. On God's Side is Jim's best book; it is personal, pastoral, and prophetic-a summons to a deeper conversion, to bridge-building commitments to the common good, and to a family life that grounds active faith in a common, caring community.
-Scot McKnight,
professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary
This is the finest of all Jim Wallis's writings. It reminded me that my actions as a citizen are a natural extension of my life as a Christian. Jim's comprehension of how Scripture and political issues relate to each other is surpassed only by the number of bridges he builds so that we can all solve problems together. Reading this book will help you be more like Jesus, especially in the public square.
-Joel C. Hunter,
senior pastor, Northland - A Church Distributed
Jim Wallis is this country's major prophetic evangelical Christian voice. He has a sense of urgency and hope seldom seen in our cynical time. I hope and pray his voice resounds across this land-and that we pay heed to it.
Cornel West,
professor of philosophy and Christian practice, Union Theological Seminary
Jim Wallis is asking a question whose time has come. Are we pursuing a national agenda that seeks the common good or are we seeking to baptize our political agendas with faith? Leaders both religious and political must take Wallis's challenge seriously when pondering the future of our life together.
Rev. Gabriel Salguero,
president, National Latino Evangelical Coalition
Jim Wallis's voice rings out on each page of this book, calling us to be on God's side in a renewed global engagement in which the measure of 'success' is the well-being of all. Following his prescriptions would result in approaching the true common good: good news for the 100 percent!
-Sister Simone Campbell,
SSS, executive director of the Roman Catholic social justice organization NETWORK
This sweeping tour de force by America's most prominent religious social justice activist is at once deeply personal and powerfully universal. Rooting its progressive vision of American social justice in religious ideas that transcend both its Christian aesthetic and America's vexing liberal -conservative divide, it is a must-read book for policy makers, religious leaders, and anyone looking for a moral basis to address America's urgent problems.
-Rabbi David Saperstein,
director, Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism
No one cuts through the confusion of our times with clarity and compassion like Jim Wallis. He is at his best in this book-bridging a cosmic vision of what humankind could be with a concrete plan for how we get there.
-Eboo Patel,
founder and president, Interfaith Youth Core; author of Sacred Ground
Jim Wallis's new book elegantly summarizes key themes from his earlier work, but it also addresses with wisdom and clarity crucial issues that we must grapple with in the decade ahead: economics, ecology, polarization, peacemaking, the role of government, and more. And every page reflects the fact that this book was written during a sabbatical-emerging from a place of spiritual reflection and renewal, augmented by family, baseball, and fun. Arguably Jim's best book ever.
-Brian D. McLaren,
There are few people on the scene who can put together mature Christianity with mature politics without compromising either. Jim Wallis does it best-and does it again here. -Richard Rohr, OFM,
Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, New Mexico
Jim Wallis has once again issued a passionate, stirring challenge to the church. In this hopeful, incisive book that pulls few punches, he challenges the church to engage in the 'next battle' to 'occupy the gospel' and thus to join in God's reclamation of God's cherished world. As always, Jim gives us a way of rethinking today's pressing social issues in a vibrantly Christian way, producing fresh insights on almost every page. He also gives Christians some specific personal decisions we can make to better align ourselves with God's continuing revolution in Jesus Christ.
-William Willimon,
professor of the practice of Christian ministry, Duke Divinity School; former bishop of the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church
Let me be honest: I don't believe in 'must-read' books. But On God's Side is a very important book, especially in a time of increased polarization and lack of civility. As a pastor, I thank Jim Wallis for writing this book because it will be a vital resource for many-especially for the church, as we seek to invite, empower, and equip people for the work of the common good. In an increasingly cynical world, On God's Side is a fresh and hopeful word.
-Rev. Eugene Cho,
senior pastor, Quest Church; founder and visionary, One Day's Wages
The Christian faith requires more than mere belief. It is a faith intended to change the world because it demands that Christians work with passion for the good of their neighbors. This is the good news of the kingdom of God that Jesus first proclaimed in Luke 4, and it's a message that Jim Wallis helps us better understand today.
Richard Stearns,
president, World Vision US; author of The Hole in Our Gospel
Without trust, no democratic society can survive. Trust is ultimately based on values. Jim Wallis's book On God's Side provides us valuable insight for our private and public lives.
-Klaus Schwab,
founder and executive chairman, World Economic Forum
If Jim Wallis and I were to sit down and discuss every word he wrote in this book, we would undoubtedly find some points of disagreement. However, Jim's challenge to followers of Jesus to grapple with what it means to live out the kingdom of God here on earth is precisely the challenge I need today. Maybe it's precisely the challenge you need, too. Read On God's Side and find out!
-Lynne Hybels,
cofounder, Willow Creek Community Church
Vintage Wallis-a challenging call to reclaim concern for the common good, which has fallen into political, cultural, and even religious neglect. To follow Jesus Christ, the Word who created the world and the Lamb who redeemed the world, means to love near and distant neighbors and work for the common good. Read it and roll up your sleeves!
Miroslav Volf,
Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology, Yale Divinity School
A generation is rising that is committed to reconciling Billy Graham's message of salvation through Christ with Dr. King's march for justice. Jim Wallis in On God's Side presents a framework for prophetic activism, seeking a conciliatory platform for those wanting to go beyond the world of rhetoric and to reconcile covenant with community, all for the common good.
Rev. Samuel Rodriguez,
president, The National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (Hispanic Evangelical Association)
At such a critical crossroads in our country's history, people are looking for commonsense voices on the right and left who are willing to ask difficult questions. Jim Wallis is one of those voices-winsome and reflective, yet forceful and unafraid. In On God's Side, Wallis again challenges Christians to think deeply about our world's greatest problems. You might not always agree with his conclusions, but every chapter of this book will stretch your mind, challenge your thinking, and push you to consider the hope summed up in its opening words: 'Our life together can be better.'
-Jonathan Merritt,
author of A Faith of Our Own: Following Jesus beyond the Culture Wars
On God's Side provides an alternative to the 'me-first' ethos that has infiltrated the American consciousness. Jim Wallis weaves together Scripture, theology, and personal reflection to call us to a deeper spirituality resulting in a lived spirituality. This book is a prophetic call to the Christian community to live into the hope that our life together can be better. -Soong-Chan Rah, Milton B. Engebretson Associate Professor of Church Growth and Evangelism, North Park Theological Seminary; author of The Next Evangelicalism

Rams sneak past No. 10 Bulldogs
Tincher clutch in overtime win
JACKSBORO — Matt Tincher and the Mineral Wells Rams were able to do what many thought was impossible — beat the No. 10 Burkburnett Bulldogs. They were able to come up with the underdog victory 79-77 in overtime Friday night in the Region I-3A area playoff game.
After trailing 54-46 going into the final quarter, a surge of offense from the Rams resulted in a 20-12 run capped off by a 3-pointer from A.J. Williams to tie the game up at 66-66 and force the extra quarter.
In overtime, the Bulldogs got off to a good start by scoring the first three points from consecutive trips to the line, but trouble followed soon after.
Hunter Fincher (17 points, 10 rebounds) brought Mineral Wells within one and Tincher followed with a big 3-pointer to put the Rams up 71-69. Despite Tyler Clement's effort of hitting a 3-pointer, finding Nico Lynott open for a basket off a steal and even taking a charge to give the Bulldogs a crucial possession with the clock winding down, Burkburnett was unable to seal the deal as turnovers and foul trouble allowed the Rams to steal the victory at the free-throw line in the final seconds.
Mineral Wells will face Abilene Wylie in the regional quarterfinals, while Burkburnett finishes at 27-6.
"A loss like this really hurts, because we had our sights set a lot higher," Burkburnett coach Danny Nix said. "I thought that we were a little out of sync all night long. We had a lot of opportunities tonight; we just couldn't take advantage of them. I thought our guys fought hard, we just didn't attack like we normally do, and (Mineral Wells) took advantage of it."
Tincher led all players in scoring with 29 points and five rebounds.
"He started shooting the ball really well and we gave him some open looks," Nix said. "That's one thing you can't do to a good shooter. From the fourth quarter on, I don't remember him missing a shot. We really needed to contain him better."
Tyler Clement and Mario Garcia both led the Bulldogs with 14 points apiece. Clement also pulled down seven rebounds. Garcia added five rebounds and five steals to his stat line, but fouled out early in the fourth quarter.
"(Garcia fouling out) was a big loss for us," Nix said. "But we had a lot of guys in foul trouble all night, too. We never could get into a rotation."
The game started out optimistically for the Bulldogs as they got out to their usual start of pressing hard and running fast. The Rams, however, found a way to break Burkburnett's full-court press to end the quarter with the Bulldogs up 18-16.
In the second quarter, the Rams regrouped and began to play a very physical game with Burkburnett, forcing a lot of miscues that rattled the Bulldogs and caused them to make careless decisions.
"We knew they were going to do that," Nix said. "They're a real strong, physical team, and they were going to hit us and bump us."
Feeling the tides begin to change, Nix called a timeout and emphasized slowing down and playing smart ball. The Bulldogs came out rejuvenated and finished the quarter out on a 13-2 run to lead at the half 34-26.
The second half started with Tincher taking over for the Rams, scoring 17 of his points after intermission. Despite the Rams scoring 20 points in the third quarter, they were unable to stop the Bulldogs once Clement started rolling as he had seven third-quarter points.
The Rams saw their moment in the fourth quarter as Tincher continued to pour in the buckets. Spencer Bennett ran Mineral Wells' slow-paced motion offense well, racking up four of his 10 assists.
"We seemed like we didn't play as well together as we did all year," Nix said. "We'll give (Mineral Wells) credit, they had a lot to do with that and they really took it to us. Once we got a big lead, we just seemed like we were trying to hold on instead of attacking through it.
"We're proud of our guys. It was a great year. We accomplished a lot of things that some of our teams hadn't done before."

PORTLAND- Once again, Oregon's record-setting cool and wet spring is having an impact, this time in the hills of Yamhill County.
Vineyard farmers say the bud break, the opening of leaves on the vines, is about two weeks late.Once the leaves bud out, the vines need a good five months of relatively dry and warm days to fully ripen the fruit.
It's still too early to tell if this year will see yields drop off 25-50 percent, which is what happened a year ago. A smaller crop could hurt the bottom line of area vineyards.
Darin Ingram from King's Raven Winery in Oregon City, says this season is about two weeks behind last year.
Last year, grape farmers lost up to 50 percent of their expected harvest. One reason was the unusually wet June.
The impact on the quality of last year's grapes is still being debated. The early taste test of last year's vintage depends on the variety and who you talk to.
Doug Tunnell of Brick House Vineyards says he is very pleased with the quality of the 2010 season. He does admit, a second year of cutting yields will eventually hurt his pocketbook.
The Willamette Valley's last celebrated year for grapes was back in 2008.
Growers are hoping the coming weeks bring dry weather and temperatures reaching 70 degrees or higher.
Memorial Day weekend is the traditional start of the summer wine tasting season. Many area vineyardscurrently have wine tasting rooms openacouple days a week.

What benefits will I reap when I cease resisting change?
Saturday, December 18th, 2010 | technology
Teacher metathesiophobia – the fear of change – is a barrier to teaching and learning in the twenty-first century.
A fear of change – or even a reluctance to change – leads to stagnation. It also results in wonderful teaching opportunities slipping through your fingers.
Imagine you were a teacher in the early nineteenth century. The blackboard was invented in 1801 and appeared in classrooms shortly thereafter. At the time these blackboards were in the category of high technology. How would you have reacted to this new invention? With the wisdom of hindsight you'd probably say that you would have embraced it immediately! But what if you were comfortable with your existing teaching media and anticipated the way in which the new board would throw your routine into turmoil? Should you have resisted change? If you did not accept this change, just imagine what opportunities you would have missed!
The situation is not any different today with the introduction of modern technologies – computers, mobile devices, interactive classroom tools and the internet. If you are willing to adapt to change and include these technologies in your arsenal of teaching tools, you will benefit both yourself and your learners.
Think about the ways it will help you:
The use of technology can enhance your teaching.
You will have a feeling of being in control in a classroom of learners who are already engaging with technology in one way or another.
Learners will respect you.
Now think about the way it will benefit your learners:
Learners love technology – using it in your lessons helps to hold their attention.
When you bring technology into play in your classroom you will be teaching learners in the way they learn best.
They will be equipped with technology skills required by the workplace.
Are these not enough reasons why you should welcome the changes brought about by modern technology?

4 Comments to What benefits will I reap when I cease resisting change?

It's interesting to find out more about education around the time of the invention of the blackboard. Most children were not formally educated at that time. Boys usually learnt trades at a young age, often taught by their fathers. They may have attended "Sunday School" learning rudimentary literacy and numeracy. Older children often taught the younger ones. Wealthier children had access to small, private schools and governesses. The boys went on to study at a few well-known universities and entered a small range of professions. So much has changed in the world, yet we still cling to a very traditional way of thinking about education. Technology enables us to completely rethink how children can learn. But it is so very difficult to let go of the way we think and embrace new ideas…
Saturday, 18 December, 2010
So true, Kathy. If the education fraternity can only let go of their 'traditional way of thinking about education'. I wonder what the chances are of this happening!
Sunday, 19 December, 2010
I am inclined to think that some traditional methods work. We can just make it better by using technology when, how and if it is appropriate.

IT was yet another day that held the promise of a 9K-plus close for the Sensex. For the second time in three days, the Sensex flirted with the 9,000 mark.
Unlike Monday when it twice kissed the level but slipped swiftly, the dalliance lasted for close to two hours on Wednesday, as equities welcomed the opening bell with a firm undertone.
An impressive GDP growth number in excess of eight per cent for the July-September quarter appeared to provide the perfect setting for a record close.
The trends in the early hours of trade did, however, prove a red herring for the pounding that to follow, as large-cap stocks shed about three per cent from the highs of the day.
Wipro, Infosys and TCS paced the decline in equities on a day when the only large-cap play to sizzle was Nestle. Siemens, which had held the markets in thrall with a rise of about 35 per cent in six trading days flat, took a well- deserved breather, as the re-rating process appeared to be complete for now. Sree Renuka Sugars and PBA Infrastructure continued their relentless upward march that has followed lacklustre listing earlier in the month. Suzlon - a highly fancied and deep-in-the-money new listing - took a break after posting impressive gains over the past week. Momentum stocks that chugged along nicely were Financial Technologies, Unitech, Suprajit Engineering, Bannari Amman Sugars and Aventis Pharma.
Profit-booking by traders appeared to be the driving force behind the downward trend; this was evident from the focused selling in large-cap stocks. On such a day, stocks in the mid-cap space held their ground and escaped with minor bruises. In percentage terms, mid-caps shed just a quarter of the value that was lost by counterparts in the large-cap space. Small-cap stocks, too, suffered to a lesser degree.
The Nifty, Sensex, CNX 500 and BSE 500 shed more than a percentage point, mid-caps lost just a quarter of what their large-cap counterparts lost. This was reflected in the advance-decline numbers, too. In the Nifty and Sensex baskets, declining stocks outnumbered advancing stocks by a factor of four; for the broad market, this number was substantially less than two. In event-specific price action:
It was a fine outing for mid-cap engineering sector stocks on a day when BHEL bucked the corrective phase in Siemens and ABB in the large-cap category. Tobacco stocks such as VST Industries and Godfrey Phillips edged higher though ITC was sucked in by the pressure in large-cap stocks.
Private sector banks were in the limelight on a day when their PSU peers did not appear prominently on the buying radar of investors. UTI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank were in positive territory. IDFC, too, was marked higher buttressed by massive volumes.
Lyka Labs (the biggest gainer for the day with a 20-per cent rise), Sah Petroleum, IVP, Nihar Info Global, Trent, Tata Tea, MICO and Maestro Mediline were notable on the gainers' list. Losers included Ashok Leyland, TVS Motor, Spanco Telesystems, TTK Prestige, Advanced Micronic Devices and Subash Projects.

HUNTINGTON BEACH–After more than a year of the odor of petroleum intermittently wafting into their homes and the sound of clanging metal ringing through their neighborhoods, residents near the Angus Petroleum facility say they want relief.
Residents in the neighborhood near Springfield Avenue and Delaware Street continue to complain to the city and the Southern California Air Quality Management District but say they have yet to see results.
City officials and the AQMD say they have been fielding complaints on the facility but so far Angus has been cooperative and complied with regulations.
The Angus Petroleum facility on California Street had been inactive for nearly 11 years but started work again last summer. Oil production began on the site in 1992 but was shut down in 1998.
Since reopening, Angus has been servicing the oil wells, which is a normal practice for any type of oil well and common in Huntington Beach, Fire Chief Bill Reardon said.
Angus Petroleum officials could not be reached for comment.
Resident Judy Purewal, who has lived in the neighborhood since the 1980s, said nearly 70 families in the community have submitted a petition to get Angus to stop operations but to no avail.
"Our efforts have proved futile so far," Purewal said. "We're downside of the wind... so it blows into our homes and we have to shut our doors and windows just not to smell it."
Last summer residents appealed to the city for help, saying the fumes were causing health issues including headaches and burning eyes. The Fire Department sent a violation notice to Angus Petroleum and said company officials were responsive to residents' concerns.
But neighbors say the problems continue.
Steve Cohn, who has lived on Delaware Street for 10 years, said he worries about the health of his family, especially his newborn baby.
"We just brought a new baby home and she has tiny developing lungs... you just don't want anything to affect her," he said. "When you move to Huntington Beach you expect to live in a residential community, not an industrial wasteland."
Cohn said he has noticed the smell and noise getting worse over the last six to eight months and when he tries to complain in hopes of getting the issue resolved, he hits a road block.
"It's really bad," he said. "It's definitely not under control."
The Southern California Air Quality Management District said they need more than sporadic complaints from residents to call the site a public nuisance and enforce harsher rules, said spokesman Sam Atwood.
While the organization does investigate every complaint filed and issue compliance notices to Angus, they need to fill hefty criteria in order to take it to the next level, Atwood said.
AQMD has received 120 complaints on Angus since June 2009 and all but two were for odors, Atwood said. He said 60 percent of the complaints were from the same four residents.

Summer school counseling interns in the Santa Clarita Valley have come up with several strategies to further aid students in necessary skill building.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
Sierra Vista Junior High, along with Placerita Junior High, counseling interns from schools including the University of La Verne have created programs to further prepare students for high school and beyond.
"We are so thrilled to have had our three dedicated and outstanding counseling interns at Sierra Vista this summer," said Carolyn Hoffman, principal at Sierra Vista Junior High. "Not only have they had the opportunity to expand their knowledge, but they have been an asset to our program by providing our students with relevant and meaningful lessons and skills that will ensure they continue to more successful in their futures."
The summer school program at Sierra Vista includes English and Math intervention for seventh grade students.
Do you have a news tip? Call us at (661) 298-1220, or drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Three counseling interns developed this program based off the The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens book by Sean Covey, said Matt Hinze, an administrative intern at Sierra Vista Junior High and English teacher at Saugus High School. The counseling interns have completed teaching four of the seven habits during the five-week summer school session.
Related: Placerita Junior High Counselors Bring Career Exploration To The Students
"The counselors are working in the classrooms, doing some skill building and life building," Hinze said. "It's a unique thing the counseling interns built on their own. They determined the most critical habits to teach for this population to be successful."
The presentations usually last about an hour every day, Monday through Thursday.
"We started this at our school, and (the interns) went back to class and built it into the program at their own school," Hinze said. "We're not dictated by deadlines and can be more inventive and creative with learning experiences."
More than 200 students attend the Sierra Vista Junior High summer school session, ending on Aug.1.
"It's a smaller program for students struggling in math and english," Hinze said. "It gives them a chance to recoup some credits and gain some value intervention skills to help them be successful in their eighth grade year."

Lifelong friendships and connections are made in college but some of the most important relationships you will make while attending school are not just with your peers but with your professors, too. Aside from teaching you what you need to know, professors are excellent sources for advice, future job and internship recommendations, and insider information about the bureaucracy of the school; moreover, a professor can be a knowledgeable, sympathetic ear that can help guide you through your college years so forming a beyond-the-classroom relationship and repertoire with some of your professors is crucial. Here are some tips to help you form that bond with your professors.
Speak up in class. One of the quickest ways to grab a professor's attention and have him or her learn your name is to raise your hand and ask a question. While other students may be going out of their way not to be noticed, your professor will appreciate your input.
Go to office hours. Professors have office hours for a reason but they are not just for answering questions about homework, tests or lectures. Office hours are designed to allow students and professors to interact beyond classroom walls; stop in to discuss an interesting article you read outside of class and go from there.
Say hi! For some reason, we students think professors are confined to their offices so it can be awkward when we see them walking around campus or eating in the dining hall...but it doesn't have to be! When you see your prof, say hi and strike up a conversation. They're people, too!
Doing these simple things everyday will create lasting personal relationships with your professors. Start making those connections as early as you can – that intro professor you reach out to freshman year could help you get a teaching assistant position with a notoriously difficult colleague when you're a senior!

I am your average student. I got decent grades in high school, applied to college, got accepted to college, and paid for my education with multiple student loans. I have taken classes I loved (and didn't love), been involved in extracurricular activities and clubs, and have truly grown as a person during my time in college. Unfortunately, I didn't receive prestigious grants or scholarships to limit the debt I'll surely incur after graduation.
There are many college students who are in the same boat...so what can we do? How can we afford the education we deserve? How can we make sure we have enough funds for books and food? How can we buy those super trendy shoes Kim Kardashian was just spotted wearing when we have loan payments looming? Okay, maybe the last question isn't as important but if you want to avoid student loan debt, start searching for scholarships.
And don't just search – search early! There are plenty of scholarships out there and the more you apply to, the better your chances are of winning one. All awards are different but many scholarship providers begin their application processes at the beginning of the fall semester so start looking now to avoid missing important deadlines. I learned this the hard way: I found lots of perfect scholarships...after the deadlines had passed.
Whether you're still in high school or a super senior in college, do me – and yourself! – a huge favor: Make scholarships a priority. You can do this easily by creating a Scholarships.com account; not only will you have access to an entire database of awards but you'll also receive regular email reminders about new awards and due dates. With the college costs showing no signs of decreasing, every penny counts – just make sure they come without interest if you can!

On my first day back at school, I dreaded having to get up early and go to class despite the fact that I took online classes all summer. I was, however, quite confident: This is my senior year and being nervous never crossed my mind but I did encounter several freshmen who were suffering from first day jitters.
On Monday morning, I noticed several freshmen who relied on maps or help from fellow freshmen in order to find their way around campus. I was even stopped and asked for directions by timid students who seemed very overwhelmed. I even talked to my roommate, who is a freshmen, the night before classes started about the differences between high school and I could tell just how nervous she was about starting school through the concerns she had.
One piece of advice that I would love to give all freshmen is realize you are not alone. I can say with certainty that most other freshmen are just as nervous about starting college as you are. There are probably even sophomores, juniors and seniors who have first day jitters despite the fact that they already have college experience. Once you realize that most students share your feelings, the butterflies in your stomach will not be as active as before.
Another minor piece of advice is to find out where all of your classes are before the first day of classes. Most freshmen have first day jitters because they are afraid that they will get lost or be late. Knowing where you are going beforehand will make finding your class one less thing to worry about.

After high school, you and your friends have to go your separate ways and now you're faced with the challenge of making new friends. Where do you start?
Get on board. Joining a club or organization will allow you to meet and spend time with other students with whom you share common interests, especially if you live off campus. After I joined Phi Theta Kappa, I met friends that I sometimes hang out with outside of school activities and plan to keep in touch with for years to come. Colleges offer countless opportunities for you to get involved, from Circle K to Baptist Campus Ministries to Student Government Association; if your school has a get on board or recruitment day, go explore your options!
Find study buddies. Who's your lab partner in biology? Who sits next to you in your favorite class? Sometimes, friendships actually form over homework! I met some of my best college friends after I started working as a tutor for Student Support Services. I got to know the other tutors and several of the students who came to be tutored. I was also able to get help with my Spanish homework from the Spanish tutor, who was a native of Bolivia. She introduced me to other international students and she even came to my pool party last summer and met my family. Even though we tend to gravitate toward people who are most like us, sometimes the best friendships can be with people who are most different.
Look to your roomies and floormates. If you are moving away to college, your roommate could end up being your best bud...but remember that other people live in your dorm, too! When one of my friends moved off to school, she actually became close friends with a girl who lived across the hall from her. My friend ended up transferring to a different school in a different state but she still keeps in touch with that girl!
How did you make friends in college? If you're not there yet, do you think you these tips will help when the time comes?

We all know that good study habits can make or break your college career but how a professor teaches and conducts a class will also shape your college experience. Large lectures, small classroom discussions or workshop-like environments are all different types of teaching styles that professors employ in their classrooms.
I go to a very small school where there are never more than 25 people in a class so I am used to discussions being an integral part of almost every class I take. My sister, however, goes to Cal State San Bernardino; large lecture halls are the norm here and her classes have anywhere from 30 to 300 people depending on the subject and level.
Classroom discussions are intense: They ensure that every person has done the homework and reading because at any moment, your professor could call on you to discuss the assignment. Larger lecture halls allow for more leeway because there is often very little interaction between the professor and individual students so how hard you prepare for each class depends on your own motivation.
So, what type of teaching style works for you? For me at least, small classroom discussions help me learn best but for my trouble subjects (anything science or math related), lectures tend to be better. What I would recommend for any new college student is to test the educational waters; regardless of where you go to school, you can always find small classes with no more than 25 students that will allow for discussions or classes that are nothing but weekly lectures. Find what works for you and stick to it...your GPA will thank you!

A big deal is always made about being a good roommate in college. I've seen many a list on how not to drive the person you're forced to live with up a wall but what about proper etiquette for living in a dorm? Being a good neighbor involves an entirely different set of rules than being a good roommate.
For example, try to keep your music down in a dorm room. It's all well and good if both you and your roommate love heavy bass but unless you've cleared it with your entire floor – and sometimes your upstairs and downstairs neighbors as well – it's good to be courteous and NOT turn it up to 11. I've been known to glare mutinously at the wall between my room and my neighbor's as their music is thumping away at 2 a.m.
You'll also want to respect personal boundaries. Really, don't use the toilet when your suitemate is using the sink, unless it's previously agreed upon. It happens. I have personal experience on my side.
Don't rip down decorations in the halls; someone (like your RA) worked really hard to put them up. Along the same lines, garbage belongs in a garbage can. As much as I love seeing a rotten apple smushed on the floor outside my room (sarcasm, of course), it shouldn't be there. The same goes for hairballs: Throw yours in your trashcan instead of kicking them into the hall.
Don't touch other people's underwear – aka be courteous in the laundry room. It's inevitable that at some point, you'll have to move someone's laundry so you can use their machine but only do so in desperate times. I hate knowing that a stranger was rooting around in my clothes.
It all comes down to being respectful. You don't have to be Dorm Resident Extraordinaire but thinking about the people living around you is much appreciated by your neighbors and floormates. Unless, of course, you want the girl living next door to you groaning about how obnoxious your music is.

We've all done it - waited until the night before a test or paper due date to do any work. I have heard several classmates say they wait until the last minute because that is when they do their best work – I can honestly say I've waited until the eleventh hour and have gotten an excellent grade on a test or assignment – but unfortunately, this study method doesn't work for everyone. The problem in this situation is that some people do not know their own learning style.
Not everyone can read a passage for the first time and be able to remember all its important details. For those that can, staying up all night to study or write a paper does not seem to be a problem because of how quickly they can retain information. For others, focus is lost halfway through the study guide or they've run out of things to write about on page three of an eight-page paper. These are the people who should avoid all-nighters and start assignments or test prep early. Early preparation will help them remember the material because they are looking over it each day and do not have to rush and put unnecessary information in a paper because they ran out of time to do proper research.
Just because your roommates or classmates can pull all-nighters and get good grades does not mean that you can, too. If you try an all-nighter and do not succeed, know you'll need to begin your work earlier next time because you have a different learning style. You will not feel rushed to do several assignments at once and you might notice better grades because you had the time to put in more effort!

Kayla Herrera
When I first left for college, my mother called me every single day for the entire fall semester and half of spring semester. I understood why (I was the first child to ever leave) but when I had issues with the campus newspaper, my parents tried to butt in and fight my arguments for me...from six hours away. Now, as a fourth-year college student, I'm still hearing that I need to get my life together, to stop living day to day and plan the future, to date someone else, to move to a different apartment, et cetera. In the course of four years, nothing has changed.
How do you even begin to deal with helicopter parents like these? The first thing I would recommend is sit them down and talk to them in person. If you can't find a time over break, do it over Skype. It's the next best thing to a phone call – even better, actually, because they will be able to see the seriousness in your eyes and body language.
You want to ease into this discussion gently, so start with the positives. Tell them how much you appreciate everything they've done for you and how great it is to have them as parents before telling them some changes need to be made. Explain your concerns using clear examples and ask that they do not interrupt you until you've stated your case. Then, a discussion can be had. Just stay calm and positive...and don't get lippy! If your parents are unwilling to bend, then settle for a compromise. Surprise them by suggesting a mature settlement – even then they can't ignore that maybe you have grown up a little.
Unfortunately, I am still trying to make my parents realize I am 21 years old with two jobs, a 15-credit load and a life of my own. The progress is slow but hopefully these tips will help you make your parents realize their little boy or girl is all grown up and they no longer need to hover overhead.
In addition to being a Scholarships.com virtual intern, Michigan Tech student Kayla Herrera is a media coordinator for the Michigan Tech Youth Programs, a writer for The Daily News in Iron Mountain, Mich., and a writer for Examiner.com. She love a tantalizing, action-packed video game and can't get enough of horror movies (Stephen King's books always have her in their grip, though she prefers the old over the new). Writing is what she has always done, and that is what she is here to do.
Last week, my Intro to Mass Communications teacher told my class that if we want to make a good grade, we need to fully submerge ourselves in the media over the course of the semester. I nodded in agreement but secretly wondered how our generation could possibly be more submerged in the media than we already are!
We were children during the Internet boom of the 1990's and now, the technology that we grew up with in our homes fits in our pockets. For the majority of our waking hours, we are bombarded with media messages. We have news updates pop up on our computer screens and phones as soon as they happen. We wear t-shirts advertising our favorite brands of clothing. We sing along with song lyrics that are blasted at us over radio airwaves. Candidates in the 2008 presidential election reached out to us through MySpace and Facebook and rebels in Egypt and Libya used Twitter as their primary means of communication earlier this year.
College can be a confusing time, especially for students straight out of high school. Of the thousands of messages we receive each day, how do we decide which ones are worth listening to? I've heard people say that college is a time for you to explore all of your options and find yourself but it's also true that if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. Head into college knowing what you believe and what's important to you. As one writer put it, "By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out."
Be receptive to the messages that come your way. Know whether or not you agree with them and why. Perhaps the most important lesson you will learn in college is how to think for yourself!

Radha Jhatakia
It's the first day of school and you go to your classes. You look around at the unfamiliar faces and wish you knew someone. After class, you use a map to navigate your way back to your dorm, where you sit by yourself. College life doesn't have to be this lonely - it's time to get involved on your campus and here's how:
Don't be anti-social. The only way you will make friends is if you are social. How do you meet people? Go to campus fairs – anything from a career fair to a student organization fair. There are multicultural clubs, academic clubs, clubs focused on a single activity, and sororities and fraternities to name a few.
Use your dorm as a resource. Prop your dorm door open when you're not studying. People will stop by and say hello. Don't trust leaving your door open? Talk to your RA: He or she will know of many campus activities going on such as socials and mixers where you can meet more people.
Make time. If you make the time, there is no reason for you to not be involved or not meet people. Colleges understand that you are away from the familiar and have many organizations, offices and people who are there to make your campus a home away from home.
Most of all, don't be afraid – just put your best foot forward and you'll be having fun in no time. And if you're not interested in campus life, go to the website of the city you are now living in and see what there is to do around town. There's always a way to get involved!
Radha Jhatakia is a communications major at San Jose State University. She's a transfer student who had some ups and downs in school and many obstacles to face; these challenges – plus support from family, friends and cat – have only made Radha stronger and have given her the experience to help others with the same issues. In her spare time, she enjoys writing, reading, cooking, sewing and designing. A social butterfly, Radha hopes to work in public relations and marketing upon graduation.

As of July 1, 2013, all private employers in Georgia with more than ten employees should be enrolled in and using E-Verify (the federal employment verification system) for new hires or re-hires. The Georgia E-Verify requirements were enacted in 2011 and phased in over the last two years based on number of full-time (35 or more hours/week) employees counted on January 1 of each year. Employers may enroll in E-Verify directly at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website or through a designated agent (such as your electronic I-9 service provider. Each year when you apply for or renew your business license, occupational tax certificate or other document required to operate a business in Georgia, you must provide evidence (such as your E-Verify Account number and the date of enrollment) that the company is enrolled in and uses E-Verify as required or that the company is exempt because you do not have the threshold number of employees. Once you are enrolled in E-Verify as required by the Georgia immigration law, ensure that you comply with the E-Verify requirements (including only using it for new hires or re-hires, posting the required notices in both English and Spanish, processing the E-Verify query only after the offer of employment has been made and accepted, and taking no adverse action against any employee during the Tentative Non-Confirmation period).
E-Verify is likely to be implemented on a federal level as part of immigration reform legislation. If that occurs, all employers regardless of the number of employees, will be required to use E-Verify. Now is a good time to become familiar with the E-Verify requirements.

Rams have league's youngest roster
For the second year in a row, the St. Louis Rams will begin the season with the youngest roster in the NFL.
And that is just fine with coach Jeff Fisher, who believes young players have a greater capacity to improve.
''One would assume that we'll just continue to get better,'' he said.
The Rams' 53-man roster has an average age of 24.98, lowest among the 32 teams. St. Louis has 29 players on its roster with two years or less of experience, including 12 rookies.
Offensive tackle Jake Long, 28, one of the veterans with six years of experience, says the younger players bring enthusiasm to the team.
''Youth, that's a good thing,'' Long said. ''We've got young guys, but they play like veterans. They're hungry, they're energetic.''
The Rams have just five players age 30 or above.
St. Louis opened the 2012 season with a league-low average age of 25.52 on the way to a 7-8-1 record.
This time around, Fisher is expecting even bigger things from his youthful group.
Quarterback Sam Bradford, in his fourth season, will be throwing to five receivers - none older than 25.
Rookie wideouts Tavon Austin, the Rams' No. 1 draft choice and eighth overall selection, will play a key role along with third-round pick Stedman Bailey.
Receiver Chris Givens, beginning his third season, is another option. Running back Daryl Richardson, also beginning his third season, will replace Steven Jackson at running back.
''I see us being so young as good, an advantage in some ways,'' Richardson said. ''We've got room to grow, room to get better. We're working hard because we really want it.''
Rookie linebacker Alec Ogletree, the 30th overall choice, has performed well in preseason. He returned a fumble for a touchdown and had six tackles in a 27-26 loss at Denver on Aug. 24.
The former University of Georgia standout says the Rams' rookies are looking forward to proving themselves.
''We're ready to roll,'' he said. ''We've got talent on this team whether we're young or not.''
The Rams play host to Arizona in the season opener on Sept. 8.
Fisher put his team through a short 70-minute workout on Sunday. The practice was moved indoors after a brief late afternoon shower.
