Broncos' Heckert to return Thursday
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP)
One of two suspended Denver Broncos executives can return to work this week after serving a monthlong punishment.
Tom Heckert, the team's director of pro personnel, will be allowed back at team headquarters Thursday. Director of player personnel Matt Russell is serving an indefinite suspension.
John Elway's top two advisers, Heckert and Russell were arrested and jailed on suspicion of drunken driving in separate incidents within a month of each other this summer, resulting in the biggest black eye for the organization since a videotape scandal cost former coach Josh McDaniels his job in 2010.
Heckert, 46, was arrested June 11 in Parker, just 36 days after Elway hired the former GM of the Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns.

My family and I would like to say thank you to Dr. Al-Mefty for the gift of time. My husband had a schwanomma in his neck that had grown into the base of his skull. Dr. Al-Mefty successfully removed this tumor in October of 2011. The care that my husband received during this time at the Brigham & Women's hospital in Boston was exceptional. Dr. Al-Mefty expertise was truly remarkable. He took the time to discuss in great length the options we had. This, along with his confidence and prior experience in this field, was a deciding factor in our decision to chose him. After the 12 hour operation, my husband was awake and able to talk. The next day, we found out he was also able to swallow and retained all movement in his shoulder. To our complete astonishment, even the atrophy he experienced in his tongue disappeared and three days later, he was discharged from the hospital. Today, you wouldn't know my husband had a tumor removed, other than a slight scar from the surgery. Blessings come in different ways but we know we were blessed in meeting Dr. Al-Mefty at the right time. A special thank you to Dr. Nalbach for introducing us to Dr. Al-Mefty and to Sara, the surgical nurse, who guided us through this process. Your help during this time was greatly appreciated.Jason and Karen Floyd
Dr. Al-Mefty saved my life. When other doctors didn't know what to do, Dr. Al-Mefty operated on me and removed my tumor. He is very good at what he does, very personable, on top of everything. My surgery was a great success and my health is great now.
When you are sent to Dr Al-Mefty, it's because you have a problem that the other doctors don't want to touch. This is a man who gives each patient the time they need and deserve. He is one of the best in the world at what he does and Arkansas is lucky to have him.
I drove from southwest LA 10 hours to seek Dr. Al-Mefty and Dr. Dunn's opinion. The time spent seeking a second opinion for my tumor was the best thing I could have done. Dr. Al-Mefty and Dr. Dunn and two other skull base tumor expert physicians were present during my initial consult. Dr. Dunn and Dr. Al-Mefty both have a great deal of expertise in my type of tumor. They both spent a lot of time with me and answered all of my questions. Although my tumor is unchanged at the present time, the prognosis was presented to me in a more caring manner than before. Dr. Al-Mefty and Dunn both have agreed to follow my tumor with additional tests, MRIs and medication for my seizures. I have chosen to take a "wait and see attitude." Dr. Al-Mefty and Dr. Dunn have agreed that I could be closely monitored in my home city of Houma, LA. My GP will order all tests, MRIs and medication. All results will be forwarded to Dr. Al-Mefty and Dr. Dunn for their comparison and review. I thank God for leading me to seek the opinion of both Dr. Al-Mefty and Dr. Dunn. God bless them both.
We traveled 61/2 hours too see Dr Al-Mefty since we found out that our son had a brain stem tumor, Dr, Al-Mefty, did 18hr surgery the first time and twelve hours the second surgery since it was a complicated tumor. We went home both visits in 5 days.My son has no deficits, and is currently working till we do back surgery.I can never thank him and Dr. Dunn for giving my son a chance too live .Their bedside manner and caring go far and above my expectations since my son has had many surgeries in his young life with this one being life threating. The office staff always assisted me in getting what ever I needed. THANK YOU
Dr. Al-Mefty operated on me in 2000 for a brain tumor and I've been symptom free for 8 years. He did such a good job and had a great bedside manner. I thank him and the Good Lord for helping me. I am so thankful that I was sent to him. I'm not sure the same outcome would have happened if I had gone to someone else.
I was diagnosed with a petroclival meningioma August 2007. After meeting with 3 doctors I was advised to make an appt with Dr. AlMefty who was in a different state. I did make an appt and drove 8 hours to meet him. Thank God, I did. Now, 13 months later, Dr. AlMefty made it possible for me to have a normal life. Theres so much to say about this surgeon. The world is a better place with him in it.

Sourav Ganguly and Dilhara Fernando come good for the winner
Chennai: Dilhara Fernando prised open the Africa XI batting line-up with four wickets after Sourav Ganguly's knock of 88 on a dream batting track had powered Asia XI to 337 for seven in the second match of the Afro-Asia Cup cricket series at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here on Saturday.
It was a comprehensive 31-run win in the end and Mahela Jayawardene's men sealed the three-match series 2-0.
Boeta Dippenaar and Mark Boucher crafted fifties. Dippenaar was especially commanding early on and helped temporarily negate Fernando. The Sri Lankan pacer had thrown Vusi Sibanda off balance with a bouncer and then got him out next ball with a quick short-pitched delivery. Two balls later, he cleaned up captain Justin Kemp.
Quick partnership
Such is the nature of these matches that the atmosphere can easily coagulate in lethargy. Boucher and Pollock kept the asking run-rate within reason with a quick partnership of 58 but once Fernando had got the wicketkeeper in the first over of his second spell, the resistance was reduced to isolated skirmishes.
Earlier after winning the toss, Asia's plan was to score as heavily as possible and it was clear from the start that Africa, severely lacking in bowling stars and further cramped by Shaun Pollock's decision not to bowl, did not have the resources to stem the flow.
No need then, for a nuanced, multi-paced approach to the innings; every top-order batsman save Sanath Jayasuriya got a start and three of them managed quick fifties. In contrast to Asia's sharp catching, the Africans dropped as many as they took. Virender Sehwag, Ganguly and Jayawardene all benefited from sloppiness.
The scores: Asia XI: V. Sehwag c M. Morkel b Chigumbura 52, S. Jayasuriya c Dippenaar b Odoyo 11, S. Ganguly c P. Ongondo (sub) b Chigumbura 88, M.S. Dhoni b A. Morkel 33, M.

Football: Sterling can see his dreams coming true
Published on Mar 28, 2014 7:45 PM
LONDON (REUTERS) - Liverpool's teenage winger Raheem Sterling is confident that at least one of his dreams will come true in the next few months, with his club challenging for the Premier League title and England manager Roy Hodgson set to announce his World Cup squad.
The fleet-footed 19-year-old is not ruling out both scenarios happening, either.
"I don't want to be the one that says Liverpool can go on and win the league," he told the BBC on Friday. "But there's a real belief and togetherness in the squad, we're all working for each other. We all know what the dream is at the end of it."
Liverpool are second in the Premiership, a point behind leaders Chelsea and two clear of Manchester City, who have two games in hand on the top two.

In its retirement plan newsletter, the IRS stated that plan sponsors of safe harbor 401(k) plans who fail to issue safe harbor notices to employees on a timely basis may be required to make different corrections for different employees, depending on the impact of the non-issuance on each employee.
For example, the newsletter stated, if the non-issuance of the notice resulted in an employee being unable to make elective deferrals to the plan, then the plan sponsor may need to make a corrective contribution to the plan. On the other hand, if an employee was otherwise informed of the plan's features and the method for making elective deferrals, the failure to provide the notice may be treated as an administrative error and corrected by ensuring that notices are timely delivered in the future.
Failures to provide safe harbor notices may be corrected using either the Self-Correction Program (SCP) or the Voluntary Correction Program (VCP) under the IRS's Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (EPCRS), depending on the severity of the error. Generally, plan sponsors must provide the safe harbor notice to eligible participants 30 to 90 days before the beginning of each plan year. To employees who are due to become eligible, the notice must generally be provided no earlier than 90 days and no later than the eligibility date.

While the 2013 MotoGP season has been favored with fair weather, Casey Stoner's testing duties for Honda have been severely hindered by rain.
The previous test was a washout, and most of the last two days at Motegi were also badly affected by rain. However, the Australian managed to cram the better part of two days' work into a single day on Thursday, riding both the 2014 RC213V and Honda's production racer, the Honda RCV1000R.

Study: It's OK to Feed Birds
Leaving out bird seed in the cold winter months can benefit the adults and their young come breeding season, a new study finds, though ornithologists are divided on the big picture when it comes to feeding our feathered friends.
The backyards and gardens of many houses feature perches or feeders with a ready supply of seeds or other snacks for birds to feed on. Households in the United States and the United Kingdom put out over 1 billion pounds (500 million kilograms) of food, including seeds, bread and even peanuts, for backyard birds each year.
While it was known that feeding birds helps them to survive the winter, the new study, detailed in the Feb. 6 issue of the journal Biology Letters, showed that putting out a little extra food can help the birds' reproductive fortunes.
Breeding boost
A team of researchers from the University of Exeter and Queen's University Belfast gave some groups of garden birds extra food in nest boxes, while leaving another group to fend for itself.
The birds given more to snack on in the winter months laid eggs earlier than the birds in the other group, and they had an average of one more nestling that flew away from the nest successfully.
"These results demonstrate that feeding birds in gardens over winter can be vital to their breeding success," said study team member Dan Chamberlain of the British Trust for Ornithology.
Whether the extra food is adding nutritional value to the birds' diets or simply giving them an extra burst of energy is not known, but study member Stuart Bearhop of the University of Exeter says the researchers are looking to see what sources of food benefit eggs and chicks the most.
Despite studies like this that show some benefit to feeding birds, there is still debate among ornithologists as to whether providing wild birds with an artificial source of food is a good idea at all.
To feed or not to feed?
Some researchers worry that birds might become too dependent on food provided by humans. Bearhop and others call this problem an "ecological trap," because birds become reliant on a food source that is actually unreliable — if people stop putting out bird seeds, the birds might suffer.
Feeding birds can also mess up the timing of breeding because birds use cues that tell them what resources, such as food, are available to figure out when they should lay eggs. In particular, breeding is usually timed so that nestlings will be chirping for their supper when insects are most available in springtime.
In studies of the Florida scrubjay, whose nestlings eat only insects, Reed Bowman of the of the Archbold Biological Station in Florida found that birds who had access to feeders tended to breed earlier in the year, before insects were in abundance.
Babies, potato chips and beer
For species such as the scrubjay, eating food provided by humans seems to mean that more nestlings die and those that do leave the nest are less fit because there's no steady food supply for the baby birds.
"All that human food is not appropriate for nestlings," Bowman said, who likened the situation to human babies having specific dietary needs. "We don't feed babies potato chips and beer."
For birds whose chicks can eat seeds, such as cardinals, earlier breeding might not have the same problems.
Having a ready supply of food could also change bird behaviors, as many have evolved to defend sources of food. Year-round food supplies might also change how birds migrate, keeping them at a more northerly latitude than they would typically stay at.
"There's lots of dynamics that can be altered," Bowman said.
Because all of these factors have different effects on different species, they could favor some species over others, changing their abundances and having cascading effects in the rest of the ecosystem.
Though there seem to be some negative implications for some birds, "we have not drawn the conclusion that feeding birds is wrong," Bowman told LiveScience.
Bearhop agrees: "I will certainly be putting out food for garden birds for the rest of the winter."

Letting Go in the Classroom
When we consider constructivist teaching, or a constructivist approach to learning, what comes to mind? For me, I see Socrates standing not in the center, but to the side of his students.
I imagine him pondering their comments and questions, and carefully crafting questions of his own, which he contributes -- selectively. Most importantly, he doesn't lead, but follows the line of questioning of the students.
That's really what it's all about: being an questioner, an investigator side-by-side with your students. That doesn't mean we shouldn't have a solid lesson plan ready to go each day, but we should be ready -- and willing -- for the students to take the class into unchartered waters.
Let me give you an example from my own teaching experience. In an American Literature class I taught a while back, we had made our way through transcendentalism, stopping off at Henry Thoreau. Here, I had a few lessons on civil disobedience planned.
Day one, we watched a video excerpt on Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat, and read a passage from the play, "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail." We created a class definition for civil disobedience and then we began to brainstorm times in history when people had defied a law -- or should have -- for the sake of what was right and fair. My plan was for all this to lead to group projects and individual papers on specific historical acts of civil disobedience in the U.S.
Then, the students began talking about racial profiling and wouldn't move on. I asked questions to clarify. I asked more questions. At this point, I abandoned the list I had assumed students would brainstorm (the right answers), and jumped on board with the direction they were heading.
Mostly African-American and Latino, my students began sharing stories of racial profiling from their own lives, and the lives of their families and friends. My eleventh grade class, the one right before lunch, made it very clear that day that they wanted to learn more about their rights and protecting themselves the next time the police pulled them over for questioning for no clear reason.
Constructivist teaching relies on the learners bringing prior knowledge, or schema, to the table. I could have stopped the conversation and said, "Let's move on," (code for, "Let's keep going where I think we should go") but then I would have lost them. Every time I have white-knuckled it and pushed my agenda, the students respond like this: a heavy, collective sigh, and slumping of the shoulders. In essence, they give up and give in. Can you relate?
Teaching students in urban schools has an added challenge. Many students from families struggling economically have few college grads in their neighborhoods and families to represent the benefits of education. So, they often are hungry to know why exactly they are learning something and how it is relevant to their own lives.
Let's go back to that class before lunch. After we cleared away all the misnomers around what the police can and cannot do, we read, analyzed, and discussed the Fourth Amendment and habeas corpus, looked at national statistics on racial profiling, and turned to the ACLU for their expertise.
We ended those couple of weeks with a culminating project where students grouped themselves according to interest. One group made a brochure titled, "How to Protect Yourself When DWB (Driving While Black/Brown)." Another group created a presentation poster on the history and statistics of racial profiling. My favorite project was an instructional video for police officers on how to build trust with the community.
Need I say it? I was a learner along with my students during those weeks. The students schooled me. When was time when you let go and let the students guide the learning? Please teach us!

constructivism = turning any lesson into a teachable moment :)
Have you seen "The class", winner of the last Festival de Cannes ? ("Entre les murs", en francais). At one point, the class is asked by the teacher to write their self-portrait. A big guy from Guadeloupe starts reading his text : "I am French...". One of the "second generation French" interrupts : "You're not French, you're from Guadeloupe !" "So what ? Guadeloupe IS French". "Well, says the girl, I'm not Fench... at least, i'm not proud to be French."
At which point the teacher interrupts : "This has nothing to do with our subject. Let's move on !".
This had everything to do with the subject, which was, basically, "who are you ?". The fact that this girl was defining herself by who she is NOT, or what she doesn't want to be seen as, was more than relevant -not only to the subject, but to the ultimate goal of school, which is to create a communal culture and a sense of belonging.
Had this teacher been a constructivist...
I am currently a month into my 2nd year of teaching. I am a 6th grade mathematics teacher in New York State. After reading this article I have to say that I am quite inspired. Based on the NYS standards, I have a set curriculum that I must follow in order to get through all the material necessary for my students to take their state exam at the end of the year. A lot of times I find myself "trucking" through material to keep the class moving forward. However, I need to stop and remember that as a teaching professional, it is important that I am not only my students leader but learning with them as well. During many discussions my students inquire about a topic beyond what I have planned for the day. Previously, I would be quick to answer their question and move on. This article was a good reminder to myself that the learning that takes place in the classroom needs to guided by the students enthusiasm and interest of the material. Of course I still have standards to be met, but I will make it a goal for myself to allow the children to contribute to the direction of the lesson as well.
I agree!! I feel that authentic learning/teaching is important here. I recently graduated from college and am currently substituting at a variety of school districts in the surrounding area. During student teaching, in a 6th grade classroom, I allowed my students to role-play different scenarios. During that time I sat back and facilitated and allowed the students to figure out how they can be change agents in the situations. I feel that they got the best out of this situation. They were allowed to use their "voice" and be change agents in their own lives. I think at times during teaching that students should be allowed to challenge each other and reflect upon the world. Sometimes students take a lesson down a different path than you intended, sometimes it's ok to let that happen at other times you may have to bring them back on track.
Oh how hard it is to let go of that control, but I think my students have learned the most in those times when I have been able to let them guide me. This year I am teaching kindergarten, which does not lend itself as well as other grade levels to following the students where they "need" to take their learning, but there still are times. Similar to other teachers' stories, I had a discussion the other day where we were talking about firefighters because a kindergartner in our building had pulled the fire alarm. After I found out who had pulled it, I realized that our students did not really know what that little lever was that they see all throughout the building, and they didn't yet know that it was not to be touched. I had planned to read a quick story about firefighters and then talk about not touching the fire alarm because the firefighters need to help other people if we do not really have an emergency. Our quick little lesson ended up lasting almost a half an hour (a long time for 5 year olds!). We ended up getting into a discussion on having a fire escape route in our homes, checking fire detector batteries, and how firefighters are helpers even though they may look scary with all of their gear on. We ended up packing in a lot of learning in that time. I hadn't anticipated their responses and enthusiasm, but I am glad we had the discussion while the topic was pertinent and important to them.
Thanks for posting this topic. It really is a good reminder that I seem to need often.
I can definitely relate to this topic of "Letting Go." I teach Pre-K children and on a daily basis I find myself letting go of what I had planned and going where the children take me. It is a wonderful ride that take me on, and we really do learn a lot. I, like yourself, have a rigid curriculum to keep up with, so I do have to find a place to come full circle with the lesson I am trying to get across. Children at this age are so curious, and they often see things that adults miss because we are so wrapped up in the outcome of the lesson. Just yesterday I was asking the children to remember what the story I had read them the day before was about. There were bears on the cover and at first they predicted that the book was going to be about bears but then found out that it was about all animals. So, yesterday I was looking for them to give me the "right" answer, which was animals. Instead one child told me it was about mommies. At first I thought of it as a wrong answer, but then took a second to ask him why he thought that. He told me it was because all the pictures in the book had a baby animal and it's mom. We then took our story time in another direction and talked about how animals have moms too and what the mommy animals do for their baby. I understand the importance of letting the children decide on how lesson goes. Children are more eager to learn when they feel they have a say in what is being taught. Younger children, epecially, learn more quickly when they are interested in what is being presented. I think it's important for educators to remember that even though what they are teaching children might be off topic, the children are still walking away with new knowledge.
I heard a teacher friend of mine say years ago that she was not a teacher but a facilitator of learning. Her words have stuck with me. We should be just that. Sometimes the best plans can be interrupted into something even better. I find that many times a student may ask a question that I had not anticipated. I thank them for asking such thought provoking questions. I have done math for so many years; sometimes it is hard to see through my students' eyes. It is surprising to see what they can come up with. Many times, their questions lead into a greater learning experience for all. I often find myself thinking, "wow, what a great insight this child has," or "I never thought of it that way." Monitor and adjust was drilled into me in college. Isn't that what letting go is all about: allowing students to lead the way into a greater understanding for students and teachers alike.

Someone once said, "It is better to be guide on the side than a sage on the stage." That has become my philosophy as a teacher. It has seemed to enhance my teaching experience. I agree that we need to be prepared with a meaningful lesson each day,but we also need to be able to let go when our students take a discussion in another direction.I teach high school health and have found that my best classes are the ones when the students take over the discussion.It cause them to dig deeper into the subject and it brings relevance to their learning. We just had a discussion yesterday on humor and its effects on the human mind. The discussion led them to conducting several different experiments of their creation on the subject. They are in the process of conducting those experiments now. It was not the direction I had planned on, but it has created in my students a desire to learn. Each day I go into class my first thought is what do they really need to know. Then I plan accordingly. Learning to stay on the side and direct their learning has been a great teaching tool for me.
I'm currently an 8th year AP Chemistry Teacher and have very much tried to take the constructivist approach in my classroom. However, I've found it quite difficult because students have very little prior knowledge with respect to chemistry and matter. Constructivism, I believe, may only be practical with particular subject matter. Though I'm sure there is some recall with respect to the subject, chemistry is so microscopic that very few students come into the class with any basic understanding of the science. However this is not the case with biology or even physics. All students have some understanding of cars crashing and balls falling, as well as organs functioning in the body. Nonetheless I continue to try and raise questions that help to guide my students in their road to discovery.
When I think of constructivism, I envision a room of students collaborating, discussing, questioning, etc. Where's the teacher? Well, sitting with or beside the students listening, discussing, questioning, etc., along with the students. This is the true "Democratic classroom".
This type of classroom is alive with learning, where students are collectively "constructing an understanding". The students are challenging themselves through a process of discovery with an intrinsic motivation in their quest for knowledge.
A constructivist classroom includes the student, as they take an active role in their education. Unlike, the "schooling" classroom where students remain in their seats and are not central to their education.
The moments where an educator can let go and let the students guide the learing is liberating. These personal experiences are learning experiences, for all - the students and the teacher.
Thanks for sharing and reminding me of those moments!
My name is Shelley Dukat. I have been teaching first grade for five years. I am participating in blogging for my first time as a requirement for my Master's program. I definitely agree that it is very important and beneficial to student learning when teachers are willing to just 'let go' and have the students' insight, background knowledge, and interests guide a lesson or instruction. Yes, I think lesson plans are very important, but a teacher most be able to adapt from them based on the needs of the students. I find that when students have a chance to connect to what they are learning, they develop ownership and pride in their learning.
