Among the countless contrasting scenes of hope amid despair in Newtown this week, Thursday in the middle of town was as stark as it gets: Hundreds of mourners lined up at the Honan Funeral Home, a doleful black line in the waning light of the seventh day. A few doors down across the street, Beth Howard handed out slices of apple pie to anyone, an energetic spirit in a red wool coat, spreading healing cheer one paper plate at a time.
This is her mission, in Newtown and across the country. Journalist, author, pie-baker, impulsive traveler, Howard brings the gospel of pie from her 24-foot RV, "Pie Across the Nation," from her Pitchfork Pie Stand in the famous American Gothic House in Iowa and from her heart, which was broken three years ago with the sudden death of her 43-year-old husband.
Since that day in August, 2009, Howard has tested her idea that pie can help ease grief, chronicled on her web site, TheWorldNeedsMorePie.com, and in her book, "Making Piece, a Memoir of Love, Loss and Pie."
"It rips your heart out," Howard said, looking toward the wake of a child across the street. "But the fact that we can warm their hearts a little bit…it helps. I've been through the darkness and I've come out the other side."
"It's just pie, but really it's so much more than that. It feeds the soul…It's about simplicity, it's about comfort, it's about sharing."
It's a team effort, uniting old friends. When the tragedy unfolded, Howard was at home in Eldon, Iowa where she lives in the house that inspired Grant Wood's masterpiece.
On her Facebook page, she posted:
"Overwhelmed and heartbroken by the today's tragedy, I feel like packing up my pie supplies into my RV and driving to Connecticut. If making pie and sharing it with the citizens of Newtown would help ease their pain I would load up a hundred cases of apples and start driving right now."
The response was enormous. The next day she left in the RV. She picked up Mike Nahra in Chicago, a friend from the Davenport High School class of 1980 that she had not seen in decades. Two other old friends traveled to Newtown.
Along the way, they stopped in New Jersey, where friends were busy making 240 pies, all by hand. By Tuesday, they made it to the grieving town.
"I was nervous that people would think we're imposing, and it's been the opposite," Howard said, speaking into a CNN camera. "It's been a privilege to be able to be here, to be able to help."
On Thursday morning, Howard and her friends taught pie-making at Newtown High School, emerging with 30 more pies. As they handed out slices, the response was universally positive, some townspeople joining in the effort, mourners stopping or perhaps just walking by, mustering a "thank you" through tears.
On Friday, the group is baking more pies with local elementary school children in the upstairs kitchen of Edmond Town Hall, the historic building that's now a theater and civic gathering space. At Edmond on Saturday, town leaders will give out hundreds of teddy bears to children of Newtown, yet another uplifting gesture of the sort that makes Beth Howard fit right in.
"I don't want to leave," she said, leaning on the RV parked in front of the town hall. "I don't have to leave. I've got my home here."

The modern English word blue comes from the Middle English, bleu or blwe, which came from an Old French word bleu of Germanic origin (Frankish or possibly Old High German blao, "shining"). Bleu replaced Old English blaw. The root of these variations was the Proto-Germanic blæwaz, which was also the root of the Old Norse word bla and the modern Icelandic blár, and the Scandinavian word blå, but it can refer to other colours. A Scots and Scottish English word for "blue-grey" is blae, from the Middle English bla ("dark blue," from the Old English blæd). Ancient Greek lacked a word for colour blue and Homer called the colour of the sea "wine dark", except that the word kyanos (cyan) was used for dark blue enamel.
As a curiosity, blue is thought to be cognate with blond, blank and black through the Germanic word. Through a Proto-Indo-European root, it is also linked with Latin flavus ("yellow"; see flavescent and flavine), with Greek phalos (white), French blanc (white, blank) (loaned from Old Frankish), and with Russian белый, belyi ("white," see beluga), and Welsh blawr (grey) all of which derive (according to the American Heritage Dictionary) from the Proto-Indo-European root *bhel- meaning "to shine, flash or burn", (more specifically the word bhle-was, which meant light coloured, blue, blond, or yellow), whence came the names of various bright colours, and that of colour black from a derivation meaning "burnt" (other words derived from the root *bhel- include bleach, bleak, blind, blink, blank, blush, blaze, flame, fulminate, flagrant and phlegm).
In the English language, blue may refer to the feeling of sadness. "He was feeling blue". This is because blue was related to rain, or storms, and in Greek mythology, the god Zeus would make rain when he was sad (crying), and a storm when he was angry. Kyanos was a name used in Ancient Greek to refer to dark blue tile (in English it means blue-green or cyan). The phrase "feeling blue" is linked also to a custom among many old deepwater sailing ships. If the ship lost the captain or any of the officers during its voyage, she would fly blue flags and have a blue band painted along her entire hull when returning to home port.
Many languages do not have separate terms for blue and or green, instead using a cover term for both (when the issue is discussed in linguistics, this cover term is sometimes called grue in English). Blue is commonly used on internet browsers to colour a link that has not been clicked; when a link has been clicked it changes yellow or orange or purple.
Blue pigments include azurite, ultramarine, cerulean blue, cobalt blue, and Prussian blue (milori blue).
They took the blue from the skies
And the pretty girls' eyes
And a touch of Old Glory too;
And gave it to the men who proudly wear the U. S. Air Force Blue!
The name comes from the word "Dark" (which originated from Old English dark, derk, deork; Anglo-Saxon dearc, and Gaelic and Irish dorch, dorcha) and "Blue" (taken from French and originated from the Indo-European root bhlewos).
The web colour light blue is displayed in the colour box at right. Also could be known as, sky blue, baby blue, or angel blue.
The first recorded use of "light blue" as a colour term in English is in the year 1915.
At right is the color pigment blue. This is the color that is achieved by mixing an equal amount of process cyan (printer's cyan) and process magenta (printer's magenta).

Portrait of Madame Léon Maître (Portrait de Madame Léon Maître)
Fantin-Latour imbues his subject—the sister-in-law of a close friend—and her setting with an air of mystery. The painter distances Madame Maître from the viewer with an expanse of black silk, while her demure downward look avoids direct engagement. Trimmed with a froth of white lace ruffles and a bouquet of roses, Maître's evening dress emphasizes her corseted waistline and eyedrawing, low neckline. The sparse furnishings and the raking light from above, which makes her ivory skin glow and heavy gold jewelry sparkle, suggest that the setting is the artist's studio rather than a home. With one hand ungloved, the subject may be at either the beginning or the end of the sitting.

The Wilson College Board of Trustees, in a special meeting to consider a series of measures aimed at rejuvenating the college, today agreed to allow further time to study the strategic ideas before them.
Trustees, who met Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, agreed to reconvene on Jan. 13 to vote on the measures aimed at restoring Wilson's fiscal health by significantly increasing enrollment and strengthening programs and facilities.
"This is an important decision that will affect the future direction of Wilson College, and the Board of Trustees takes this responsibility very seriously," said John Gibb, chair of the board of trustees. "Our intention is to review and analyze all of the material to enable the board to give greater consideration to the information presented, before charting a course for the financial well-being and academic health of the institution."
The board met to vote on a proposal from Wilson President Barbara K. Mistick, which includes reducing tuition and creating an innovative student loan buyback program; strengthening existing majors and adding a number of new academic programs, including several in the health sciences; making facilities and infrastructure improvements; and expanding coeducation across all programs.
Mistick's proposal was based on a set of recommendations from the Commission on Shaping the Future of Wilson College — a panel made up of faculty, alumnae, trustees, students and staff — began meeting last spring to examine options for improving the college's academic and fiscal health. The commission was charged with developing ideas for creating the "optimum scenario" for the future of the college.
Wilson, like many small colleges today, is looking for ways to improve enrollment and achieve solid financial footing. Given the magnitude of the decision before it, the board — unanimous in its commitment to see Wilson be successful — opted for more time to consider the data generated by the commission.
The commission process came about in response to operational deficits in three of the last four years and nearly $31 million in total debt and $10 million in deferred maintenance. Principal payments on a multimillion dollar bond will begin in 2018.
A total of 695 students are currently enrolled at Wilson. The total average enrollment from fiscal 2003 through 2012 — including the College for Women, Adult Degree Program and graduate programs — was 763 students.
The Commission on Shaping the Future of Wilson College — chaired by Leslie Durgin, a 1969 Wilson College graduate and member of the Wilson Board of Trustees — began work in May. It was comprised of five subcommittees, studying programs, markets, pricing and finance, quality of life, and college success stories. Committees met extensively over the summer and through the fall to study a wide range of information from relevant sources.
The group held a series of open campus meetings from September through November to present data and gather additional feedback before presenting its final strategic ideas to the president on Nov. 12. Mistick reviewed and refined the plan now under consideration by the board of trustees.

Q: Why is the agent's listing price different from the price from RealtyTrac?
A: Once a property is listed with a real estate agent, the agent will set a listing price for the property. The listing price at this point is often close to full-market value.
The property is often listed with a real estate agent by the foreclosing lender sometime after the property becomes an REO (Real Estate Owned by the lender). If a property is in pre-foreclosure status (NOD, LIS) the owner can also decide to list the property with an agent, although the owner has a limited amount of time to sell based on the foreclosure timeline, which gives them typically 90-120 days before the property goes up for public auction.
The Amount (not to be confused with the estimated property value range) listed on RealtyTrac is usually based on the defaulted lien amount or the transfer value. The defaulted lien amount, or Balance, is what the foreclosing lender needs to break even. The transfer value, or Trans Value, is the amount paid for the property when it was purchased by the current owner (even if that owner happens to be the foreclosing lender).
Usually if an agent has listed a property, you can still submit an offer under the asking price (based on your knowledge of the break-even amount needed by the foreclosing lender) and get a good deal, but the final purchase price will probably be somewhere between the listing price and the break-even amount. The goal is always to get a good bargain, but you shouldn't necessarily expect to buy the property for just the amount owed.
Q: What does the dollar amount listed from RealtyTrac mean? Is this the asking price of the property? What other data does RealtyTrac provide to help determine the purchase price or value of a property?
A: The amount listed from RealtyTrac is usually based on the total amount of the loan in default. Called the Balance or Opening Bid on RealtyTrac, the loan amount is what the foreclosing lender needs to break even. If our data sources don't provide that amount, then we may use another amount such as the estimated value, last sales price or default amount (the amount the borrower is behind on his or her monthly payments).
This is not the asking price for the property; it's a starting place for you to begin your negotiations with the seller. The goal is to get a good bargain, but you shouldn't necessarily expect to buy the property for just the loan amount.
The loan amount gives a good estimate of what is needed to satisfy the lender. If you subtract this amount -- and any other liens against the property -- from the estimated market value of the property, you will have an idea of the potential bargain that could be realized with the property. This will also give you a solid foundation for making an offer to the seller. If the loan amount is more than the estimated value of the property, then you probably want to arrange a short sale (where the foreclosing lender agrees to let the homeowner in default sell the property for less than is owed) or simply submit a lower offer directly to the lender if the property is already bank owned (REO).
To evaluate the property further, you can view the Comparable Sales and Lien & Loan History reports from the Property Details or My RealtyTrac pages for properties. The comparable sales report provides a list of up to 15 properties that have sold recently in the neighborhood and an analusis of property values in the neighborhood. The liens and loans report provides a list of loans secured by the property and any tax liens placed on the property.
This property is an REO (Real Estate Owned). This is the final step in the foreclosure process. Ownership has reverted to the lender. This 1617 square foot property has 0 bedroom(s) and 0 bath(s). The estimated sale price is $160, 000.00. To access more extensive information on this property click the 'more property detail' link below. You will need to register for full access. Information listed with each property including estimated loan balance is derived from sources deemed accurate but we do not guarantee the accuracy of such information.

UFC Quick Quote: Benson Henderson will ?kill' any opponent ?mentally weak' enough to fight him on steroids - MMAmania.com
"My thing with the whole steroid thing and whatnot -- like I understand part of a competitors nature is to take whatever edge, whatever advantage you can get to be the best. To that I just say if I'm facing a person - it happened in college wrestling, sadly it shouldn't, but it happened in college wrestling people on steroids and whatnot. But if I know someone is mentally weak enough to take steroids, Oh, I need the extra edge, I need to do this', and they know it's illegal, they know it's wrong and they do it. If you're so mentally weak that you have to take steroids, me five-rounds in the cage with you, I will destroy you. Cause you are mentally weak. So I'm all for it, if you want to take drugs go ahead and take drugs I don't really care but I'm going to whoop your butt because you are mentally weak and that's where you win fights in the mental stage. If you're weak enough to break down, I'm going to kill you."

Food Stamps
News about Food Stamps, including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times.
Chronology of Coverage
May. 1, 2015
Editorial supports bill sponsored by Congressional Democrats that would raise minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $12 an hour by 2020; cites research showing majority of people in public assistance programs like Medicaid and food stamps are in families headed by a low-wage worker; says this places economic burden on taxpayers while corporations paying low wages are enjoying benefits of nation's productivity gains. MORE
Apr. 13, 2015
University of California at Berkeley study finds that majority of people receiving public assistance, such as food stamps, Medicaid and other programs, have a family member who is working at a job that pays around minimum wage; concludes that, in effect, taxpayers are paying difference between what these employers pay to what is needed for most Americans to survive. MORE
Apr. 12, 2015
Several states are ending provision that allows able-bodied adults of ages 18 to 49 to receive food stamps longer than ordinarily allowed by law, as economy improves; advocates argue that tightened rules will encourage such adults to seek employment while critics say it unfairly criticizes those who are having trouble finding work. MORE
Mar. 28, 2015
The Upshot; Urban Institute report underlines complications of putting photos on cards used for food stamps as anti-fraud protection, since food stamps are awarded to households rather than individuals; federal laws prohibiting special scrutiny of food stamp shoppers and lack of efficacy of policy are some other reasons why few states other than Massachusetts have implemented it. MORE
Mar. 21, 2015
Obama administration announces it will give $200 million in grants to 10 states participating in projects aimed at helping food stamp recipients find jobs; pilot program is part of larger effort to reduce food stamp program rolls, which have grown to nearly 50 million Americans. MORE
Mar. 21, 2015
Op-Ed article by health advocates Thomas A Farley and Russell Sykes, noting that $1.7 billion in federal food stamp dollars are spent on junk food each year, suggests ways to encourage Americans to use food stamps for healthier fare; holds government should give financial incentive for healthy food purchases or restrict use of food stamps for junk food and require that stores allocate more, and more visible, space to healthier foods. MORE
Feb. 22, 2015
Natasha Singer Technophoria column observes that state and local agencies are turning to data-mining services to root out public benefits fraud; notes that governments are using services provided by IBM, SAS and LexisNexis to uncover fraud in unemployment insurance, Medicaid, food stamps and several other programs. MORE
Jun. 28, 2014
New York City Coalition Against Hunger estimates one in six New York City residents live in homes without enough money to buy food; 2013 survey shows 254 food pantries and soup kitchens across city saw demand increase an average of 10 percent since 2012; de Blasio administration has announced plans to increase enrollment for food stamps by expanding online services, among other measures.

"It was the best of times. It was the worst of times."
If Mr. Dickens hadn't penned these words nearly 150 years ago, you might think he was a hot rodder, since it pretty much sums up what our hobby is all about—especially when it comes to finding a new project car.
It's the best of times when you experience the excitement of buying a new ride, and sometimes it's not so much fun when dealing with hidden rust, previously performed bad work, and parts that don't fit. Building a Camaro from start to finish provides a roller coaster of emotions. We're sure Charles would agree—if he knew what a roller coaster was.
With Editor Nick wrenching on his '71 Camaro, that left me with three choices for a project car—a first-, a third-, or a fourth-gen Camaro. Assistant Publisher Joe Rode has been doing stories on his '83 Camaro, so that narrowed my choices to a first- or a fourth-gen. Since I didn't want to deal with California's performance-hindering emissions issues, the winning idea was to build a first-gen.
Only problem is, the pricing for first-gens is nearly absurd. The only "cheap" cars out there are piles of rust that barely resemble the shape of a Camaro. Since most of the parts would be replaced, we decided to look for a decent roller, preferably somebody's aborted project.
With my first-gen, Nick's second-gen, and Joe's third-gen, we would have most of our bases covered. So, with a car in mind, I started combing the Internet and swap meets for a suitable candidate.
An old adage comes to mind here: "You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince." It's rare that you can find a good project car in your first attempt; really rare. During my search, I looked at car after car. Sometimes it was as if the seller had just watched Barrett-Jackson and thought their pile of poorly assembled parts was
worth a mint.
Other times the car advertised as a "rust-free survivor" turned out to be a Bondo-encased collection of worn out junk. Finding a starter car is a compromise between cost and condition.
The key is not to pay for a bunch of parts you're not going to use. Who cares if the car has a freshly rebuilt 350 small-block if your plan is to stuff in a big-block? Does it matter if the seller throws in worn-out original seats if you plan on going aftermarket? These extra parts add to the initial cost of the car and, at best, you'll only be able to sell it off for a few bucks. Conversely, you don't want to find a car completely stripped of what you do need. For example, consider OEM stainless trim. This stuff can be pretty pricey to buy, so having it included with the car is a definite bonus.
I had been hunting for more than a month with no luck when I came across a decent-looking '68 on eBay. The "Buy It Now" was set at $8k, but the bidding was stalled out at $5,700. The car was located about 150 miles from me and was in just the condition I was looking for. I wasn't prepared to pay $8k for it, but I wanted to be the top bidder when the auction ended.
With only 20 seconds left in the bidding, I tossed in a figure of $6,100, but was snipped at the last second by a bid of $6,101. I e-mailed the seller and found out he sold the car to the guy who topped my figure by a buck. Now that was a buzz kill.
Two more weeks and many frogs later, the eBay seller e-mailed me that the guy who bought the Camaro changed his mind when he saw it. Turns out he thought it was in more of an assembled state. The seller wanted to know if I was still interested. Since it had been delivered to the new guy, the car was only 50 miles away instead of 150, so I went to check it out.
"It was the best of times. It was the worst of times."
If Mr. Dickens hadn't penned these words nearly 150 years ago, you might think he was a hot rodder, since it pretty much sums up what our hobby is all about—especially when it comes to finding a new project car.

Dr. Donald Wayne Zacharias, 77, President Emeritus of Mississippi State University, died Sunday, March 3, 2013 in Starkville. He was the beloved husband of Tommie Kline Zacharias, his wife of 53 years.
A public memorial service celebrating the life and service of Dr. Zacharias will be held 11 a.m. Thursday, March 7 in the MSU Colvard Student Union's Foster Ballroom.
A reception and time of fellowship will follow.
Parking will be available at the Palmeiro Center, next to Humphrey Coliseum, and shuttle buses will transport guests to and from the Union. The shuttle service will run every 10-15 minutes beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Born on Sept. 28, 1935, Don was the son of William and Estelle Newlon Zacharias of Salem, Ind. He was a devoted servant to higher education during his long career, which included 12 and one-half years as president of Mississippi State University (1985-1997). His was the second longest tenure in the institution's presidential history, which dates back to 1878.
Don came to Mississippi State from the presidency of Western Kentucky University, where he served from 1979 to 1985 and where a residence hall was named in his honor. At Mississippi State, a co-residential living-learning community that includes four residence halls was designated in 2008 as Zacharias Village, paying tribute to Don's lifelong commitment to student achievement.
Don's career began at Indiana University, where he earned both a master of arts degree and a doctor of philosophy degree. He received a bachelor of arts degree from Georgetown College in Kentucky, where he was later awarded an honorary Doctorate of Law for his distinguished contributions. His exceptional experience in higher education led him to positions as executive assistant to the chancellor of the 14-campus University of Texas System and as assistant to two presidents of the University of Texas at Austin. Don also held tenured professorships in communication at UT, IU and MSU, receiving teaching excellence awards from all three institutions.
In addition to his wife, Tommie, he is survived by two sons, a daughter and three grandchildren, all of Boulder, Colo. The children are Alan Scott Zacharias (wife, Nancy Ann Huff), Eric Neil Zacharias (wife, Sarah Rollins Zacharias), and Leslie Kline Zacharias; grandchildren, Luke Harrison Zacharias, Katherine (Kate) Kline Zacharias, and Ike Zacharias Shanholtzer.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

It is far from unusual to come across a couple of exceptionally restored vintage Vettes at a large show. At a recent Fort Worth, Texas, event, two extremely immaculate machines grabbed our attention. One was a solid-axle '58 roadster with a 283-cid and T10, the other a pristine '63 split-window coupe with an automatic and air conditioning. On the surface, they seemed quite different, but then we put two and two together. They were both class winners and restored with the same attention to detail, but there was more, much more. It turned out that these two fine Corvettes are the prized possessions of a pair of brothers-identical twins, in fact-and the same shop, owned by one of the brothers, restored both of these fine cars.
Ralph Canalizo of Flower Mound, Texas, and Charlie Canalizo of Southlake, Texas, are both second-generation car nuts and have had love affairs with Corvettes since they were children. When Charlie and Ralph talk about their obsession with cars, both men give similar explanations for how they got involved. It was their father, Carlos, who got his boys hooked on fixing up and collecting unique examples of American muscle. Carlos, a retired engineer and a real hands-on kind of guy, instilled in his boys from a very young age a love of cars and respect for the dollar. He taught his sons to stretch the dollar by doing all their work for themselves, and both Ralph and Charlie have been rebuilding and driving cars since before they even had their licenses! Each of these men has since pursued professions in automotive body repair.
Both of these Corvettes have been carefully restored by Charlie (the "older" brother by a whole six minutes) and his gang at Leezo Brothers, a specialty body repair shop in Irving, Texas. Charlie's '58 roadster looks showroom perfect these days, but it was quite a sight when he purchased it four years ago. Charlie was restoring a '65 Corvette for friend and customer Johnny Wood, but Johnny also had a '58 and a '68 Vette that still needed restorations, too. Charlie managed to convince Johnny that he just had too many projects, and volunteered to help him with the burden by taking the solid-axle off his hands. "When I got it," says Charlie, "the car had purple and white paint, with gold metal flake seats. There was some body damage to the left front, but otherwise it was really solid. However, it looked like all of the parts had just been thrown in with a shovel."
With the help of his friend and colleague Bob Hill, Charlie returned his ragtop to factory condition, including all new interior trim and a fresh dash. Under the solid-axle's non-functional louvered hood lies the refreshed 230-hp 283 with a single Carter carburetor and T10 four-speed combo connected to the 3.70:1-geared Positraction rear axle. Charlie returned the '58 to its original color combination of Snowcrest White with a red interior. When asked about the not-quite-correct red coves, though, Charlie responds that it was GM's mistake. "The red coves were not an option in 1958, but they sure look good. GM should not have waited until '59 to offer them," he reasons.

2010: A year in review, August
We're now just days away from getting inebriated in order to celebrate the coming of the new year, but before we take our first sip of celebratory bubbly, we've still got time to take a look at the biggest stories from the past 12 months.
August can be a quiet month in the tech world as all the big brands are usually keeping quiet in preparation for some big announcements at Berlin's IFA show in September. However, some companies drip-fed us with some pre-IFA teasers such as Samsung, which confirmed that it's Galaxy Tab would be getting its first official outing at the show. It was also hinted that Toshiba would be raising the curtain on its own tablet around the same time.
Despite a plethora of rumoured names, BlackBerry finally confirmed its upcoming model as the Torch (after AT&T leaked the new name first) and we managed to get a sneak preview of the new handset as well as the new BlackBerry Curve 3G. Despite its hotly anticipated new handset being well received, RIM had some bad news when Saudi Arabia decided to follow the UAE's example and suspend services on all BlackBerry devices.
LG unveiled its budget Wink range of smartphones aimed at young, first-time users desperate to ditch their basic handsets. The Wink moniker was swiftly replaced by the Cookie name for the UK market. No reason was given, but we had our own theories as to why the name may have been changed, involving playground taunts and a substituted vowel. Meanwhile, the Nokia X3 made its debut sporting an interesting mix of touchscreen and button operation.
August also saw the opening of Apple's largest store yet in London's Covent Garden. Naturally, we were there before the doors opened to get some snaps of the impressive retail outlet. Elsewhere in the news, Virgin Media lodged a complaint to Ofcom over proposed video-on-demand platform Project Canvas and its alleged anti-competitiveness.
Following a popular Facebook campaign, TomTom confirmed that actor and presenter Brian Blessed, famous for his booming tones, would become one of the new voices for its range of satnavs. Meanwhile, Google announced that it was to scrap its real-time colloborative working tool, Google Wave and Digg released an updated version of its website, known as Digg 4.
Possibly the story that was closest to the hearts of the Pocket-lint team in August was the revelation from George Lucas himself that the Star Wars films would be coming to Blu-ray in 2011.
In terms of games, we were impressed by Ed Fries who designed an Atari 2600 version of popular FPS Halo for those that couldn't wait until September for Master Chief's next outing. Also in gaming news in August, PC strategy game Starcraft II managed to sell a staggering 1.5million copies in its first 48 hours of being on sale. Meanwhile, Medal of Honor got into hot water for its depiction of the Taliban, giving us the perfect excuse for a round-up of the most controversial video games ever.
And finally, one for the Apple refuseniks - we pulled together a list of the biggest flops to come out of the Cupertino compound.
For a closer look at these events and the rest of August take a look at our weekly round-ups from the month or head straight to the archive itself.

I was talking with someone at another forum on a topic about action figures and customizing. The person to whom I was talking with explained that when it came to female action figures, no matter what line, there were a lot less of them compared to the massive amounts of male action figures. For example, the G.I. Joe line which has almost 1 female character to every 35 male characters. After he pointed this out to me, I began running through all the action figure lines I grew up with or have seen throughout the years and I began to notice them, like how there's only one female figure for The Walking Dead comic book action figures (Michonne) to the three male characters (Rick Grimes and two zombies), while The Walking Dead TV show action figures have no female characters at all.
So, I'm beginning to wonder if this is true with most, if not all, action figure lines. Are there any particular lines that have just as much female characters as the male characters? Or are all the female characters in all lines stuck under the glass ceiling? And what are your thoughts about the lack of female characters/overabundance of male characters in action figure lines?

That being said did Orton need to lose it like he did? Of course not. Like every says about Cena. The dude not only welcomes the hate, he likes to fuel it. Look at his promo from raw. He mocked the heel turn thing during his promo. Whether it's cheers, boos, or both, the man can get a crowd reaction and still not get pissed. And I'm sure there are times where he'd love to break keyfabe and lay into the audience. And just imagine if he did.

The Texas MPA curriculum lays a solid educational foundation for the Uniform Certified Public Accounting examination. If your goal is to satisfy the requirements for the CPA exam, MPA academic advisors will help you plan your coursework so that you will be eligible to sit for the exam by the time you complete the program. Eligibility requirements vary from state to state. The state in which you plan to sit for the exam will determine whether you need to fine-tune your MPA coursework to meet your goals.
The CPA Examination is comprised of four sections.
CPA candidates from the University of Texas at Austin typically have pass rates much higher than the statewide average on any given part of the exam. Our students' pass rates also tend to exceed the national averages for each part of the exam, which range from 40 to 45%. In fact, several of our students have received the prestigious American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Sells Award for earning the highest cumulative scores on the four sections of the exam on their first attempt.

deldaisy wrote:Kin... make a simple spag bol... but with a twist.
Boil a large pot of water to boiling point, add a generous shake of salt, and put in some fettucine (nicer than spaghetti.... break it in half and stir it til it boils again... stir it a bit at the beginning so it doesnt stick together) Let it cook for about 15 minutes or whatever it says on the packet.... you may have to add more water during the cooking. ...don't let it boil dry. Add boiling water from the kettle. It is cooked when its not hard not soggy soft.
While its boiling.....
Fry up a large finely chopped onion in some olive oil. Take it out and fry up some (1 or two unpeeled) diced zuchinni. Take it out and fry up some diced bacon (cut off the rind and throw it away). Brown some minced beef (and actually minced pork is better for this if you want) about 500 grams. When you brown the mince keep breaking it up with a wooden spoon or whatever so it doesn't cook in clumps, and turning it, stirring it.
Throw it all back in the pan and add about a teaspoon of minced garlic (you can buy it already minced in a jar). Add a can of chopped tomatoes (we buy one that had oregano and basil already in it) but you can add fresh oregano and basil at the end of the cooking .... looks smarter and snobbier and tastes so much better... just chop it roughly.
Turn the heat down abit and let it simmer and reduce a little (so its not watery). Stir it.
Wash the fettucini in hot running water and let drain. I like to put a tiny bit of olive oil over it.
You can serve it in two bowls on the table and let everyone serve themselves OR you can pile the fettucine in a large bowl or platter and pile the sauce over it and put a few sprigs of basil on top (Dead posh). OR you can finely slice a tomato and lay that over the top of the sauce.
Serve with a simple fresh green salad (if you don't have salad dressing olive oil and lemon juice is lovely), a french bread stick on a breadboard cut into about one inch slices, or better still buy some pre-prepared garlic bread you have put in the oven while you cook the meal (it usually takes about 15 - 20 minutes... read the label)
Basically its chop, fry, brown, add, wash, serve. Easy.
Its hard to give a recipe if you don't know what level someone is at cooking hey? (Hence why I said to boil the water before you add the fettucine) Sorry if I am talking down to someone who already knows alot of this, but sometimes the "obvious" to others who have cooked alot is not obvious to a new cook.

A few weeks ago, the Blue Jackets' official Twitter account posed a question asking what songs get you pumped for Blue Jackets hockey? Coincidentally, I had started this project, but wasn't quite ready to share at the time. This isn't a collection of pump-me-up-to-kick-ass songs; instead this is a carefully picked soundtrack that I think perfectly plays along with our feelings coming off of a hopeful [but shortened] 2012-13 season, looking forward at a brand new start.
01. I'm Alive (Life Sounds Like) – Michael Franti & Spearhead
Life sounds like
I'm alive
(This is what it sounds like)
Whoa-oh-oh, I'm alive
02. Ready to Go [Get Me Out of my Head] – Panic! at the Disco
So tell me right now
You think you're ready for it
I wanna know
Why you got me going
So let's go
We'll take it out of here
I think I'm ready to leap
I'm ready to live
03. Harlem – New Politics
(When it gets loud, I turn it up)
Shake it like a bad girl up in Harlem
(When it's too hot, I light it up)
Light it up, yeah, smoke 'em if you got 'em
(When it's too soft, I shake it up)
04. Future Foe Scenarios - Silversun Pickups
This revolution baby
Proves who you work for lately
Who do you work for baby
And does it work for you lately?
05. Trojans – Atlas Genius
Take it off
Take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
06. Safe and Sound – Capital Cities
I could lift you up
I could show you what you wanna see
And take you where you wanna be
You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down
I know that we'll be safe and sound
07. Soldier On – The Temper Trap
All that is gold is rusting
No one will know
When seasons cease to change and
How far we've gone
How far we're going
It's the here and the now
And the love for the sound
Of the moments that keep us moving
08. Reunion – M83
You came out of nowhere
Stealing my heart and brain
Flaming my every cell
You make me feel myself
Will you stand in this land?
Will you stand in this land forever?
09. Counting Stars – OneRepublic
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars
10. There's No Going Back – Sick Puppies
There's no going back,
When life's a loaded gun, you pull the trigger, trigger
There's no going back
The past is in the past
Thank God it doesn't last forever
11. Here's to Us – Halestorm
Here's to all that we kissed
And to all that we missed
To the biggest mistakes
That we just wouldn't trade
To us breaking up
Without us breaking down
To whatever's come our way

After the Sebring 12 Hours, the 1,000-mile/10-hour (whichever comes first) Petit Le Mans is the American Le Mans Series' crown-jewel event. The race continues to get bigger and better each year: For 2008, 113,000 people showed up to watch three days of racing on the 2.54-mile Road Atlanta track. The Corvette Racing crew took up residence early in the week to start working on race setups and perform a little development work on its upcoming GT2 entry. The weather was great all week, but that didn't prevent a number of casualties from occurring. Practice sessions on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday night were littered with cars damaged in off-track excursions. Few of the accidents were car-to-car problems; mostly, the drivers were simply pushing too hard and exceeding their vehicles' handling limits.
Corvette Racing, meanwhile, suffered a motoring accident of a different sort. Max Papis decided to ride his bicycle to the track from the team hotel, some 20 miles away. Along the way, he had an altercation with an 18-wheeler that sent him headlong into a pickup truck. The crash was pretty serious, cracking Papis' helmet and destroying the front of the bike. While he recovered enough to compete in the race, his face bore the scars of the incident.
In qualifying on Friday afternoon, Johnny O'Connell recorded a pole-winning time in the No. 3 car, setting a new class record of 1:16.542. Olivier Beretta was a scant 0.04 second behind in No. 4. The GM team looked pretty confident and well prepared getting ready for Saturday's race. The only real disappointment was the lack of competition. No one turned out to challenge the factory C6.Rs, leaving them to dual amongst themselves...again.
With no class rivalry to worry about, the Corvette team turned to another task: winning the newly established Green Challenge trophy. This is a competition among all of the cars in GT1 and GT2 combined (an additional trophy is given to the combined prototype classes), and it uses a scoring system to determine the best result for overall performance, fuel efficiency, and environmental impact (in the form of greenhouse-gas emissions). The ALMS is the first racing series in the world to establish such a racing category, effectively creating a race within the race.
Green Challenge competitors utilize their choice of three different fuels: sulfur-free diesel, E10, or cellulosic E85. All of these fuels are "street legal" and are virtually the same as what might be found at a local filling station. Corvette Racing has taken the lead in this challenge by electing to run the entire '08 season on cellulosic E85. The GM team's closest GT competitor is the GT2 Aston Martin, which also runs E85.
Saturday morning's practice offered up still more carnage, with the lone Mazda prototype entry hitting the wall and suffering irreparable damage just two hours prior to the race. Down one competitor, the entire field formed up for the two warm-up laps arranged before the event's 11:15 start. But before the starter could even wave the green flag, the front-row Audi R10 of Alan McNish spun on cold tires and slammed into a wall. McNish was able to get the car back to the pits and into the garage for repair, but he would have to start the race from pit lane after everyone else was flagged off.

Over the past couple of years I have worked in K-1 and 1-2 multiage classroom settings. I also have three years experience teaching first grade, four years teaching second grade and one PreK year. I have been a K-2 Lead Teacher for five years. I have also been a Core Knowledge Curriculum Coordinator. I currently work as an elementary instructional coach - teaching teachers how to teach!
I feel teaching presentation and style must match the classroom dynamics and age level. Since I work with little ones, I prefer to do a lot of hands-on activities that break concepts down into simple manageable chunks and make learning fun. In my classroom, we get out of our chairs, laugh, sing, dance, work/talk in teams, maintain consistency, and drill the basics.
I have been awarded teacher of the month twice at my charter school and have received Model Classroom status from Reading Renaissance for two years. I have been nominated for a Disney Teacher award and won a Target Teacher Scholarship. But best of all....I get hugs and smiles from my students everyday!
I have a Master's in Curriculum Instruction from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA and Bachelor of Arts in Technical Journalism from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. I hold a professional teaching license in Wisconsin.
