I hesitated for a long time before signing up to the exchange year between the Frauenfeld and Yverdon-les-Bains grammar schools. I was unsure whether it was the right decision for me, whether I was up to the challenge. I finally put my name down at the last minute, thinking that it might help to sharpen up my poor French skills. The two head teachers – Beat Brüllmann of Frauenfeld Cantonal School and Eliane Stucki of Yverdon Grammar School – took charge of the arrangements and made for a smooth start to my linguistic and cultural exchange back in August 2012. The adventure was to last until the end of June 2013.
The first step is always the hardest, as they say, and it was no different in this case. I could barely understand a word to begin with, either in lessons or in conversation with others, but constant contact with a second language helps you to pick it up quickly. After a couple of months, I was already feeling confident enough to discuss quite complicated topics, and lessons were scarcely more difficult for me than in German. In spite of the fast progress I had made with the language, it took over half a year before I was more or less settled into my class. My host family, on the other hand, were much more welcoming and approachable. Both comprehension and spoken French had become second nature by the end of the exchange. I still have the odd little problem writing the language sometimes, but I am more than capable of writing up my coursework in French and putting my point across in e-mail discussions on natural science subjects.
This exchange year also aided my personal development by making me more independent and allowing me to make some friends in western Switzerland. The biggest measurable advantage the year brought for me is obviously linguistic. I learned to live and breathe a second language, which is not something you get from just taking lessons. I definitely made the right decision.

Baldwinsville Mrs. Dunham's students at Ray Middle School recently wrote poems about their favorite memory; some of their prose are featured below:
I'll Never Forget
It was a rainy day,
My sister and I were in the basement;
We were starving, so we went upstairs.
My mom was watching Ellen;
My dad was at the hospital.
All of a sudden, the phone rang;
It was my dad, so I kept on eating.
After a few minutes she hung up, and
She said she had some terrible news.
I knew my grandma was in the hospital,
But I hoped it had nothing to do with her.
The she told us . . .
My grandma had passed away.
I broke out in tears.
I don't understand,
Why Her?
It doesn't make any sense!
As I calmed down,
My dad walked through the door.
He was crying,
For the first time.
I had a million questions,
But only one came out.
What happened?
He said she couldn't fight leukemia;
She was too weak.
That was one day I will never forget.
'Mocking Bird'
"Mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird..."
Tucked under the daisy blue blanket
Warm and safe,
"…and if that mocking bird don't sing…"
Pink lamb at home underneath my chin
Comfy and content,
"…Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring…"
Golden light on my bed from the open door
Sleepy and weary,
"…and if that diamond ring don't shine…"
Long day and comforting voice,
Yawning and then…
"Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby."
"Good night."
One of my
Favorite memories
Is when I sat on a
Hollow pumpkin
My grandma wants to take a
Family photo
She had us choose our own
I chose a pumpkin along with my
It turns out my pumpkin didn't

WILMINGTON, Del., June 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN) announced today that Judge Joseph Farnan, Jr., US District Court, District of Delaware, has found that the substance patent protecting CRESTOR (RE37,314 – the '314 patent) is valid and enforceable. In its ruling, the court found that no inequitable conduct was committed by any Shionogi employee. The court also held the '314 patent to be non-obvious and properly reissued.

Judge Farnan's subsequent entry of judgment will preclude the FDA from issuing final approvals for the defendants' Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) prior to the expiration of the '314 patent in 2016.
"We are pleased with the court's decision upholding the validity and enforceability of the '314 substance patent," said David Brennan, Chief Executive Officer, AstraZeneca. "The court's decision reaffirms the strength of the intellectual property protecting CRESTOR.''
Judge Farnan also held that Apotex USA was liable as a submitter and is therefore bound to the court's dec

Ya Dig?
Born a city-girl, but my heart is in the country. I'd love to one day live on a farm, raising animals and grow my own food to be more self sustainable. Plan B is to run a bed and breakfast in Costa Rica, while my male counterpart runs a spear fishing excursion and I cook their daily catch for that evening's dinner....sipping wine and drinking beers, watching the sun set, and feeling that amazing ocean breeze on your warm tanned skin. I'm pretty care-free about most things and don't like to get hung up on the little stuff that ultimately doesn't really matter. But for those things which I am passionate about, I extend myself without reserve. I love to be goofy and silly and adore a guy who can be the same along side me, but also knows when to be responsible and hold sh*t down. My friends are always amazed at my independence and calm demeanor balanced nicely with my enigmatic personality. I'm looking for someone who is grounded and humble with a creative or adventurous spirit, who enjoys thinking outside of the box. A man with integrity in his actions and words and where small. considerate gestures of kindness are commonplace. Talk to me about your dreams, your fears and your life. Expect that I will challenge you, support you and go along for the journey. Drop me an email and say hello. I promise to always respond.

The tamidji clinic where dr Gerson works has the most unhelpful unprofessional staff ever encountered. After going there 3 years, and paying by credit card in full, the office generated additional billing without explanation . They refused to put me in touch with dr Gerson or to explain the bill. It seems this is a way of squeezing patients for more money, i have spoken to others with similar experiences. The dr never got in touch with me, they resent the bill and then 'fired' me from coming to the practice because of my supposed bad behavior. These people are scary crooks. AVOID.

The integrated test is a screening test done during pregnancy to find out the chance that a baby has certain birth defects, such as Down
syndrome. The test is done in two stages at
two different times during the pregnancy. You will get the results after the
tests in the second trimester are done.
The results of all these tests are reviewed to see if
levels are higher or lower than expected, and the results are reported after
the second stage.

Again, please explain why this is Apple's fault? Is what they're doing against the law? It may be ethically wrong, and obviously you don't agree with it, but any company can (and many do) play the same tactics. With the patent system how it is, if you don't patent your "method/process", somebody else will. I know we'll both agree that the patent system needs a massive overhaul.
But point being that none of this is Apple' fault. Every other big tech company does the same thing, but you don't hear about it because it seems only Apple is a "big deal" for whatever reason.
They are taking advantage of a broken system that deters other competitors to compete and innovate.
It's playing by the rules, yes. But the way they are competing and doing business is harmful for the industry.
Why not make better products to increase profits instead of getting it through litigation?

If you're the lucky owner of a ski property in a stunning location, read our tips for attracting more snowsports-mad guests in ski season with just a few updates to your listing.
To make these changes to your Holiday Lettings listing, log in to your account and go to Properties.
Tip #1 Organise your gallery
When it comes to skiing, exterior shots are essential for inspiring outdoorsy types.
- Show a snowy outdoor shot, pistes and mountain views – particularly if they're taken from the property itself. Add helpful info to your captions, such as 'View of Mont Blanc from the master bedroom'.
- Images of piste maps may not be as attractive, but some guests find them helpful.
- Après-ski is almost as important as the skiing itself, so it's worth uploading a shot of the local entertainment/nightlife, or even other activities for non-skiers such as ice skating.
When organising your interior shots, depict the warming scenes you'd like to see if you were booking the trip.
- Show warmly lit bedrooms, a blazing log fire, hearty food and drink on the table – especially if the home is catered.
- If you've got a hot tub, sauna or other facilities on site, snap them and show them off!
Tip #2 Use the search results to get seen
- Skiers, especially those with families, need to plan far in advance. Make sure your prices are updated for at least 18 months ahead so you'll appear in all the right searches.
- If the ski lift is outside or within walking distance, mention this in your search results summary to attract instant clicks.
- Pin your property's location on the map so guests can see where the home is in relation to the resort. Your location will appear on your advert and also on the map view in the search results.
Tip #3 Create text for snow-mad guests
Use the various text sections in your account to provide all the vital practical info.
- Use your main description to give details of the piste opening times, available levels, recommended ski hire shops and distance to the ski lifts from the property.
- Mention air lines, car hire companies and any ski shuttles nearby to make travel to and fro seem simple.
- Include après-ski activities and events, for example any Christmas or New Year parties, in the area info under location details.
- If you can offer your guests a ski pass, add this to the notes section under your prices and mention it in the search results summary and main description too.
Tip #4 Use extra marketing at key times
Some skiers/snowboarders keep an eye on the weather for most of the year and plan well in advance, whereas others book at the last minute. Consider adding deals to give both early and late bookings a boost for peak seasons.
- Use an Early Deal in October for stays in January/February to grab bookings from forward-thinking families and large groups.
- Use a Late Deal in early December to attract bookings for the end of the month and early January.
- Add a Spotlight to put your property right under the guest's nose at the top of our search results. These can be really effective, as long as your photos are striking and, above all, snowy!
To invest in some extra marketing, log in and go to Account > Add deals and spotlights.

Corrupt judges, lawyers to blame
He is a chip off the old block, Alade Babatunde Kasumu is the first son of the well-known and erudite Professor of Law,Alfred Bamidele Kasumu. He has put in 19 years in the profession. In this interview with Adesisi Onanuga, he speaks on law, his family and other matters. Excerpts:
Why did yoy study law?
Well, as I said before, mine is a family of lawyers. Almost everybody in my family, my niece, my father, all my sisters who are lawyers are in that picture and we also don't do anything else but law. Since I grew up that is the only thing I have ever thought of doing. I remember when I used to follow my father to courts, my impression of lawyers was about how they were dressed. I tell people that one of the first lawyers that made an impression on me was Chief G.O.K. Ajayi (SAN) and I remembered him when I went to the Lagos High Court before Justice Ajose Adeogun. I was with my father, carried his bag and I just saw this man, immaculately and impressively dressed, with a gold chain hanging out of his pocket. He was making submissions and he had one leg on the chair and after making submission and the judge was writing, he would pull out his gold watch from his waist coat, flick it open, look at it, shut it and put it back in the waist coat pocket. I remember when I started practising myself, I wanted to get the exact attire with the same gold chain and watch. But all that is history now.
Will it be proper for us to say then that your father dragged you into the legal profession so that you could carry on after him?
No,no. He encouraged me. I wouldn't say he dragged me. As I told you, lawyers had always made an impression on me. I remember when we were growing up at the University of Ife, I remember the late Chief Williams, who was my father's uncle. He would come over and I think they used to have these political meetings with Chief Awolowo in those days. I remember him always coming over to the house. And I remember my father when we left Ife, his relationship and working with the late Chief Williams. He made a larger than life image on me and as a lawyer, I look up to him, I mean I have always wanted to be a lawyer. So, there has always been so much influence of lawyers around me, from Chief Williams to my father. So, my father didn't just encourage me. It was just very convenient that law was there.
Has there ever been occasions when your point of view is different from that of your father when you are handling cases?
Of course, there are a lot of time that we don't agree and I should mention again that that is another good attribute of Prof. We all call him Prof. And Prof., when we have our meetings when there is a problem, we would always discuss the issue and since we are lawyers, he would try to seek everybody's opinion and we all argue, we all discussed and once we don't agree with him, he would let it go and that is the attribute of a good lawyer, to be able to take criticisms and walk away. He would probably walk away and see how he can blend all our views together. I remember just a few days ago, we had an issue. I was going to the Court of Appeal and somebody has failed to take a step in the matter coming up in the court and that was the first time of my going for the matter. So, when they gave the file to me, I was reading the file for the first time and when I read it, I had a different view on certain issues which had been raised and he was out of Lagos. So, I called him. I just said this file, I had a different view of submission, and he said no, no, and we disagreed on the matter. We discussed it, we argued and finally, he agreed with me. The following day, we had discussions and I was upset because I was now going to argue the appeal and I thought a reply should have been filed and certain issues should have been raised. Fortunately for me, when I got to the Court of Appeal the following day, the court did not sit. Of course, the first person that called me after the court was Prof and he wanted to know how the matter went and I told him. He said when you get back to the office, you can amend that brief in accordance with your views and opinions.
Your first day in court. What was it like?
Well, I wouldn't say my first day in court. I would tell you my first experience at the Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal was at Bourdillon and two galleries were prepared. I like telling people this story because my first day at the Court of Appeal was not a pleasant one. Of course, my father's name is Alfred Bamidele Kasumu and I am Alade Babatunde Kasumu. So, I got to the Court of Appeal that day, I filled the counsel's list and I wrote A.B. Kasumu. As it was the practice then, they would take the counsel's list in for review before the judges come out of their chambers. The late Clement Akpamgbo, of course, was one of the most senior lawyers in court then. So as the judges filed out, they told the registrar to call Prof. Kasumu' s case first. So they called his name and there was this young lawyer standing up to announce his appearance. And I look at the judges and I saw them, they were all discussing and then they said, "who are you?" and I said, I am A.B. Kasumu. They said no, no, no. They said "who filled this counsel's list?" and I said "I filled the counsel's list." They said, "are you A.B. Kasumu ?" and I said "Yes". They said "no" and that next time, when I filled this form, I should write my name in full or add "junior" at the back of my name, that I confused them that morning. So, you can imagine, that was my first time in the court. I was sweating and I thought I had done something wrong. Eventually, they called the case but for a very long time, I was scared of going to the Court of Appeal.
In your 19 years of practice, which case did you find most challenging?
It was when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said anybody who must operate in the capital market must be registered and lawyers, unfortunately, were lumped into that group of capital market operators. Fortunately, there were guidelines issued by SEC and it included lawyers and accountants as capital market operators. I remember at that time that we were appointed solicitors to a company that wanted to do rights issue. So, when our name was submitted, SEC said we should not act for them. So, we decided to challenge SEC and that law which says lawyers must be registered was at the Federal High Court. We went to court and filed an originating summon and the court agreed with us that lawyers are not to be registered or that they are not capital market operators. The case went to the Court of Appeal and the court affirmed the decision of the lower court. For me, it was a capital victory because as I said, it was a case in which our law firm was involved in and it was a victory for lawyers.
When you are in court and you find yourself against these law giants, how do you feel? Don't you feel dwarfed in their presence?
I think it is an experience every lawyer should aspire to have. Every lawyer should aspire to face the Afe Babalolas, the Olanipekuns and the other big names in the legal profession. But one thing I have learnt is that as long as you know what you are doing, you would not be threatened. Absolutely, there is no challenge you cannot face. All you just need to do is understand your own case, marshal your own point, because I remember coming up against a senior advocate in my early years of practice, and I remember one incidence in particular, though I cannot remember the name of the lawyer right now. He came to court, he knew I was a new wig, but he under estimated me in terms of my call to bar and age. But he should not have underestimated my integrity. He should have realised that all I need is to have been well briefed and tutored. It was in those days that we were not filing written addresses. We had anticipated every argument and I had a response for everything and by the time I finished and made submissions, I remembered it was before the late Dr. Kessington. When I made submissions, he looked at the bar and said, "you see yourself"; he said "it is Prof. Kasumu talking and not the A.B. Kasumu you see in front of you'. That was what he told the lawyer.
How do you see the judicial system under the current dispensation?
I remember the days when you go to court, you have to argue your motion and the judges had to take everything down in long hand. There has been tremendous change from the way the rules operate then and the new rules as we look at it now. Things are much better now. But the difference for me, is the judges we have. I think the judges that were before, even before I started practising up till the time I started practising, I think they had a more difficult task than the judges of today. I think we had better and quality judges then, but they were just working under very strenuous conditions then. To me, the way they are now has really helped the dispensation of justice. But, honestly, I must admit that I think we had better calibre of judges then than now.
Apart from the welfare of judges and the conditions under which they work, what other reforms would you like to see in the judicial system?
As I said, I need to go back to the rules. The rules of the court now have made things easy. But even when you had the rules, we have human beings. The judges are human beings. The lawyers too are human beings. The delays that we experienced in court are caused by human factor. The rules are just there for one to apply. But if the judges are lazy, the lawyers are lazy, the rules would not work. There are lots of adjournments which are either due to the courts are not sitting or lawyers are asking for adjournments. I think one of the ways they can improve the judiciary is how to manage time. You wake up on a Monday morning, you go to court and tell you the court is not sitting. I can understand a situation if the judge falls ill during the weekend and he cannot sit on a Monday. Of course, I don't expect a judge who is ill to sit. But when they tell you the judge has gone for a conference, obviously the judge did not just know that weekend that he or she would be going for a conference. That conference must have been fixed a week or two before that day. So, they should also have the decency to also let lawyers know that the court would not sit.
Often times, lawyers are accused of bringing frivolous motions to the court just to drag a case, especially when they know that they are likely to lose a case.
Yes, lawyers file frivolous applications but once the laws allow you to file the application, there is nothing frivolous. You have the constitutional right to file any application in court. But, of course, you look into that application and you decide whether it is meritorious or not. My problem is that judges are not proactive enough and at times, I do not blame them because they had a lot of work to do. There are certain applications, when I go to court, and they come up, instead of the court to deal with that application, you can find that the court was already look into the time they are going to spend to take on that application, the ruling they are going to write. Meanwhile, it is a simple straight forward application. There are some applications like somebody brought one for interlocutory injunction. If you are a lawyer or a judge, and you have practised well enough, the principle are all the same. I can remember, I went to the Court of Appeal once to argue an application for an injuction, the judge just said, Mr Kasumu, address us on this issue. He said you are asking for an injunction, why should we grant you an injunction? Address us on this issue, address us on that issue. Likewise at the high court, if you have an application which is frivolous, and you look at it as a judge, you should be able to dispose of that application quickly. You look at it and deal with it and make a ruling. Instead of that, the judges would allow you to argue, they have not even read the file, so they don't even know what the application is all about. Yea, if you look at it and address it on the basis of the law the judge would know whether he was going to grant it or not. But if you haven't even read your file, how can you deal with that application. But is true that lawyers do bring a lot of frivolous applications, but it is for the court to deal with that application and immediately dispose of it.
A lot is being said about corruption in the judiciary and about corrupt judges. The Chief Justice said at a conference by SERAP recently that corrupt judges are dangerous to the society. What is your take on this?
Well, my father would always say which one would you prefer, an ignorant judge or a corrupt judge. Some people would tell you that it is better to have an ignorant judge because you can always educate that judge. Ignorant, in the sense that he does not know the law or that he misapplied the law because that is the limit of his knowledge. But a corrupt judge is a judge who knows the right thing but has muddled up the fact for whatever gain or benefit that he wants to make. That is a more dangerous person and those kind of judges should not be on the bench.
How do you think we can deal with and curb the activities of corrupt judges?
You would find out that these judges that you said are corrupt, it is not just the judges but it is the lawyers who are aiding these judges. I do not believe judges just become corrupt. Somebody had to have access to them. Lawyers have become willing tools in the hands of the politicians, businessmen. They use them to influence the judges.
Of late, there have been talks about Sovereign National Conference (SNC). But I noticed that the issues are not clearly defined. What is your take on this?
Well, the issue of a sovereign national conference is not new. Right from the time I was young, I mean from the time of Tafawa Balewa, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, it has been a recurring decimal. I remember during Shagari regime, it was a recurring decimal. During Obasanjo's regime, it was also a recurring decimal. I do not think there is anybody who would say the time is not ripe for a sovereign national conference. It is an issue that cannot be swept under the carpet. When the issue of this SNC even started, we don't have these deep rooted problems that we now have. So, you can now imagine that we now have this magnitude of problems all over Nigeria. We are having Boko Haram, the militants in the Niger Delta, people are still asking for creation of states. Instead of sitting down to dialogue with them as to their problems, sometimes, I sit down and wonder whether we even need these 36 states. We really need to sit down and discuss valuable things about our resources, our geographical issue, about how we divide our wealth, whether this presidential system even works. Even though I remember the President saying there was no need, I can understand perfectly why he would say so and I don't expect him to say otherwise because it is a very touchy issue. Having been the president of Nigeria, if he says otherwise people can take it to mean he belong to a particular faction. I don't want to say he was not sincere. I think he was just being cautious. You see, history would judge every one of us. I do not value or revered those people who at a time should make a difference but they did not make that difference. This is what happened to a lot of our Politicians. When they now leave office and two or three years down the line, they grant an interview, they now start telling us about their problems and difficulties, things they should have voiced out at that particular time and let people judge you and know that this is what you stood for. And not three, four years after, you now say we should have SNC, that these are the problems, these are the issues. But most importantly, I think it is ripe for us to have a sovereign national conference.

Bachmann says the 'Lord had Called Me' to Run for President to criticize Obamacare
Michele Bachmann yesterday sat down with David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network, two days before delivering the commencement address at Regent University (formerly CBN University), where she reiterated her claim that God called her to run for president. Bachmann, who ended her campaign following a sixth place finish in the Iowa Caucus with just 5% of the vote, told Brody that her purpose in the race was to drive the push to repeal the health care reform law, and also agreed with Brody's analysis that she ran an "impeccable" and "mistake-free campaign." "We were extremely careful," Bachmann said, "and we were almost mistake free, but for those two points, Elvis Presley's birthday and John Wayne's birthplace." Many might beg to differ, as she misplaced the first battle of the Revolutionary War, said the HPV vaccine causes mental retardation, called John Quincy Adams a Founding Father to back up her claim that the Founders actually opposed slavery and linked the Swine Flu to Democratic presidents, among countless others.

When was the last time your boss went to get take-out for his employees and brought back a bunch of burgers and fries in two big greasy bags?
If you watched NBC's tour of the Obama White House, you saw the president do just that for his staff.
If you're a cynical P.O.'d at the world Republican you'd be quick to blog, twitter , e-mail or get air time on Fox News to blabber that President Obama did that because the cameras were rolling.
He is, after all, the Celebrity-in-Chief.
Even if the cynics are right about this — so what? It was fun to see him out and about at a burger joint reading off take out orders for his staff. He even got host Brian Williams a burger.
It may be all show, but it is entertaining.
The TV tour focused alot on the people behind the president. All of them busy and a lot of them already stressed out.
And they all like M&Ms.
Interesting to see the workings of the Obama White House and the hectic goings on (like all our jobs, except for better perks.)
But it was all about The Man. While everyone is running around looking to get things done pronto like they were all chief of staff Rahm Emanuels, Obama was his usual calm self.
During the campaign, one of many criticisms of then-candidate Obama was that he didn't get angry — didn't show much emotion.
Something tells me you wouldn't want to get this guy riled up.
The kind of guy who will take action — show that anger — when it's warranted.
Kind of like a character Clint Eastwood would play in a movie.
Again with the Celebrity-in Chief.
Obama is of course complemented by first lady Michelle, who has this pleasant aura about her. She embraces kids of all ages a lot. Makes one want to stand in line when she's handing out the hugs.
Scoff at that, Newt.
The GOP got all over the Obamas last week when they went out on a date to a Broadway play in the Big Apple.
What a bunch of collective sticks in the mud.
Sean Insanity even got on the prez because he put mustard on his hamburger.
If this is the best the Republican National Committee has to offer, no wonder party members on the fence could start their own reality show and call it "I'm a Republican — get me out of here!"
No one — not even your humble narrator — got all snarky when Nancy and Ronnie were playing kissy-face all the time when they were in the White House. Even a couple on in years that you can tell really love each other makes you feel good.
Speaking of Reagan, a statue was unveiled of the 40th president in the Capitol the other day. It was a good likeness of the Gipper. His wife, quite frail now, was there — and she was adament when thanking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for organizing the event. No one in the attendance applauded for Smiley Face, though. Ronnie wasn't bipartisan — but he said he knew a lot of actors who were.
The clergyman who gave the benediction may have carried things a bit far when he told the crowd "people will be blessed by the words of Ronald Reagan."
Could be why Fox News referred to the coverage as "The Second Coming."
But back to NBC's coverage of the Obamas at work and at play.
No doubt about it, this was a valentine to the first couple. The honeymoon is still on — and least with the liberal news media like that dern MSNBC.
Sidebar: While Obama was giving NBC a tour of the White House, Bill Clinton was busy giving some chubby chick a tour of his pants.
But this new president, with all the power and prestige he commands, has an easy way of showing he's not above all this pomp and circumstance.
He told Brian Williams that it's his turn at night to take Bo the dog out to do his business. The prez matter-of-factly put it all in perspective when he said "it's quite a moment" when he's picking up the doggie poop with the "White House lit up behind me."
He was probably used to it, still having to deal with all the crap the last administration left in its wake.

|Lakeview Centennial High School
Lakeview Centennial High School is a public secondary school located in Garland, Texas (USA). Lakeview Centennial High School enrolls students in grades 9–12 and is a part of the Garland Independent School District.
In 2011, the school was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[4]
Lakeview Centennial High School opened its doors to more than 1,100 students in August 1976. The two-story structure, a comprehensive high school including college preparatory courses as well as industrial-vocational education, was designed through the combined efforts of students, teachers and administrative personnel assisting the architectural firm of Wright-Rick and Associates. Special features include a planetarium for use by all students in the Garland Independent School District.
Lakeview Centennial High School is now a College and Career Magnet which began in 2001-2002 to students in grades 9-12. Students may apply for one or more of the unique programs - Dual Enrollment, Law and Criminal Justice, and Television Production and Broadcasting, and a Classical Center approach in Advanced Latin, piano, and dance.
The school's name derives from two sources: "Lakeview" from its location near Lake Ray Hubbard and "Centennial" as it opened during the American bicentennial year of 1976. The American Revolution theme carries over to the school mascot Patriot Pete and the drill team name, the Yankee Doodle Sweethearts.[5]
The 2009-2010 boys' basketball team reached the state tournament, the first Garland ISD high school team to do so, and finished as runner-up. They repeated as runner-up in 2010-2011.
College and Career Magnet[edit]
The College and Career Magnet program at Lakeview Centennial High School is designed to prepare motivated students for entrance into college and for advancement in their chosen careers. Students will participate in academic and real-world endeavors allowing them to grow in knowledge and critical thinking skills.
Students may apply for one or more of the unique programs – Law and Criminal Justice, and Television Production and Broadcasting, and a Classical Center approach in Advanced Latin, piano, and dance. Each program offers a specialized curriculum with qualified instructors. Each program provides students a variety of experiences beginning with the 9th grade.

The LCHS College and Career Magnet Collegiate Academy works in conjunction with the Dallas Community College District to provide qualified applicants a unique academic experience. The program is designed to satisfy credit requirements for high school graduation while the student also earns an Associate of Science degree (63 hours) from DCCCD. Through this opportunity only offered at Lakeview Centennial High School, the Academy features a college curriculum in the structure of the high school environment, which allows students to continue to participate in extracurricular activities while they achieve dual diplomas.
Law and Criminal Justice[edit]
This program will provide an avenue for students to become involved in the community, gain direct experience in their field of interest, and develop a greater sense of the legal system (both criminal and civil).
The Pre-Law Strand is for students who are interested in careers as lawyers, paralegals, legal secretaries, court reporters, bailiffs, court clerks and coordinators or other positions associated with a court. The course of study for the pre-law strand is:
Crime in America / Technical Introduction to Criminal Justice Introduction to Law Business Law Courts and Criminal Procedure Mock Trial AP Government (focused on law) Law Internship (the opportunity to work for a local law firm) The Protective Services Strand is for students who are interested in careers in law enforcement (federal, state or local level), special services (such as the CIA), forensics (medical examiner, crime scene investigators) and corrections (correctional officer, probation officer, prison or jail warden).
Television Production[edit]
The Television Production Magnet is housed in the same facility as GRS-TV, and is designed to be a hands-on working laboratory for the student. The facility has a fully equipped production studio, a quality control room where students work in a real-world studio environment.
Students also work with a full range of field equipment, including field cameras, lighting and audio gear. Post-production facilities range from a basic editing classroom outfitted with Final Cut Express workstations, to full non-linear edit suites equipped with the latest version of Final Cut Pro Studio.
This elective course provides college-bound students the additional training in writing, study skills, note-taking, and critical analysis which are needed to be successful in rigorous academic studies. AVID students are required to be enrolled in at least one Pre-AP, AP, or Dual Enrollment course. College visits, tutors, and assistance are also a part of the program.
Future Teacher Internship[edit]
Students in this program will plan and direct individualized and group activities, prepare instructional materials, assist with record keeping, make physical arrangements, and complete other responsibilities of a classroom teacher. Students will be involved in observations and direct student instruction. Students will experience a full range of education-related career roles, grade levels, subject areas, and ability groups.
Business and Marketing[edit]
Business and Marketing
Lakeview's College of Business is designed to engage students with interests in business, marketing, and finance. The College of Business combines the strength of education with practical business experience and leadership opportunities. The goal of the School of Business is to empower the students to become competent, productive citizens in a diverse global marketplace, promoting and supporting academic excellence. Specialized course work will prepare students for career success immediately after they graduate high school. Incentives to this program are the number of certificates students can earn as they move through the program's fields of study. Many of the graduates of the School of Business go on to earn college degrees, and that means an average lifetime earnings twice that of a high school graduate. There are four strands of study: Finance, Marketing, Information Technology and General Business.
Students may select from the sequence of courses listed below which are recommended for grades 9-12. The CCM courses are unique to Lakeview Centennial High School. Dual Credit (DC) and Tech Prep courses are also available for some courses (see the Online Course Guide.) The students will have the opportunity to get involved with the following organizations: Business Professional of America (BPA) or Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA).
Classical Center[edit]
Advanced Latin
Allows students to study original passages from Roman authors and prepare for AP in Latin. Students may elect to take the Virgil or Catullus Horace Exam or both for 6–18 hours of college credit.
Students may participate in beginning to intermediate ballet and jazz. Advanced dance includes modern dance and tap dance, and finally performance dance which requires an audition. Emphasis is placed on choreography, production, performance, and dance related careers.
Piano Lab
Students will be instructed in both group and individual settings. Piano technique and theory is available from the beginner level to advanced. No previous experience is required.
Students will participate in competitive meets on either the Varsity or JV teams. Students meet off campus and transportation is provided. Gymnastics is offered from the beginner to advanced levels.
Dual Credit[edit]
Dual credit may be viewed as a form of concurrent enrollment. It provides the opportunity for high school students to take college courses that count toward the high school graduation requirements. These courses may be taken at the high school or on a college campus during regular school hours. Classes are taught by a high school teacher with appropriate credentials or by a college faculty member. Successful completion of the college level course can earn a student high school credit as well as college credit.
Lakeview Centennial High School holds several different sports organisations. The most notable of the groups are the football team, the basketball team, and the Marching Band. The basketball team has been to several state competitions throughout its history, and the Marching Band has become one of the most well known in the area in past years. In addition to the aforementioned sports, Lakeview hosts Baseball, Bowling, Cheerleading, Cross Country, Golf, Gymnastics, Liberty Dolls/Sweethearts (also known as Drill Team), Soccer, Softball, Step Team, Tennis, Track, and Volleyball. Lakeview currently resides in UIL Class 5A for the 2013-2014 school year, but will be reclassified in the newly created UIL Class 6A for the 2014-2015 school year. Lakeview will participate in Region 2, District 11 of Conference 6A.

I haven't notice much complaining about the bullpen usage this year. I'm assuming it is because Dusty really hasn't had many choices in the past with everyone being worn out, that he had to use any player at all times.
But we are past that point of using any warm body.
Here are my questions I would ask Dusty:
Why is Arredondo one of the first guys our of the pen in a close game? You do realize in 18 innings he has given up 14 walks and 16 hits? The guy is as unreliable as Chapman yet, he's your ace in the hole.
Why does Bill Bray continue to face only LH'ers? Not to hammer Arredondo here (but I just have his stat page up), but Jose is allowing RH'ers to hit .222/.378/.361/.739 off of him. The LH'ed Bray is allowing RH'ers to hit .150/.244/.225/.469 off of him, let alone the .440 OPS LH'ers have off of him.
I would say the usage of Arredondo has been my biggest issue with the pen. How he continues to get important innings is beyond me, while Bray continues to face one lefty and gets pulled. Oddly enough, the one time Bill does get used a lot this month, was twice in the same day. I don't get it.
Also the lack of Jeremy Horst was confusing too.
I think Dusty just thinks LHP are for left handed hitters only. It baffles me sometimes.
Anyway, just looking to voice my opinion to the world on this one. Have a good week.

The Wine Program
"Athens is a college town, so we are blessed with a scholarly clientele that's open and eager to learn about wines they haven't heard of before," says Steven Grubbs, the wine director. "It allows us to play around a fair bit and constantly rotate unusual things in." The list is concise, at 83 wines by the bottle, but 82 percent of them are available for under $100. For by-the-glass drinkers, there are 21 selections on offer.

Things I liked:It works if you will. Where I live, I'd have to drive 100+ miles to have a tank filled so I'm left with only one choice, a pump.
Things I would have changed:The gauge is junk. This is my second one and it doesn't read anywhere close to accurate either. Use the gauge on your gun. The one on this pump reads about 900 to 1000 psi less.
What others should know:The pump works. My old one lasted about 10 years. The gauge never read correct on it and the same goes with this new and improved model. Use the gauge on your gun and you'll be just fine.
Things I liked:Manufacturer customer service kick a,
Things I would have changed:Handles, maybe better quality O-rings,
What others should know:Install Desicant Kit something to secure dry air intake.
Things I liked:The pump is well made and will fill my rifle to 3000 lbs.
Things I would have changed:As the pressure increases so does the strength needed to push the pump. A lever action pump would greatly decrease the strength needed to fill the rifle to 3000. lbs.
What others should know:Using the pump regularly will greatly increase your back and shoulder muscles.

I live in New York and I experienced Hurricane Sandy albeit at a much lesser degree than many other people in the area. There is a lot of destruction in the Northeast and it will take a long time to rebuild. Every little bit helps and Marlins' pitcher Tom Koehler is doing his part to help out. Koehler has organized a pair of baseball clinics to take place in December. One in Stony Brook, New York and the other at Marlins Park. Please take a moment to visit http://miami.marlins…_for_relief.jsp and see what he is doing for people devastated by Hurricane Sandy. I know often times the news exaggerates stories but I can tell you with confidence — this storm was as bad as the news said. It decimated several huge areas and put countless families out of their homes. For some people, things will never return to normal. These baseball clinics will not only educate and excite a young person in your life but will also help out people in dire need of help up here in the Northeast.

With gay marriage now the law, the message to heterosexuals is to continue to devalue the biological and social importance of mothers and fathers, and to discount the needs of children.
Political leaders should take steps now to head off the debt crisis that will occur if policies are not changed. Waiting for the crisis to hit before acting would lead to much more painful austerity.
In the developed, democratic world, it seemed impossible to imagine that Catholics would once again live under penal laws or their cultural equivalent, scorned (and worse) for being threats to the state and civil comity by reason of their faith. It's no longer impossible to imagine that.
Religious liberty — and even the common understanding of the "nature of things" — is on shaky ground after Obergefell.
In the wake of the Supreme Court's marriage decision, some sober thoughts occur.
The nature and character of the Supreme Court's majority opinion, much more than the specific implications of the decision for America's continuing health-care debate, seem likely to make this decision a lasting and consequential one—and unfortunately not in a good way.

Santa Teresa is the artists' quarter of Rio de Janeiro. Described frequently as the 'Montmartre Carioca'- Carioca means 'of Rio' - its bohemian streets scale the hillsides over the city centre and are dotted with bars and restaurants, galleries and mansions, offering stunning views of Rio and the ocean and mountains beyond.
Throughout the year Santa Teresa hosts parades, open-air and open-house art and food markets, live music, capoeira displays and practice nights for the local samba school in preparation for carnival.
Villa Leonor is a 25 minute taxi ride from Tom Jobim airport and just 10 minutes from the domestic terminal (Santos Dumont). From the city centre it's a beautiful 15 minute tram journey through Santa Teresa on the bonde marked 'Paula Mattos'. Alternatively you can take the metro as far as Gloria or Cinelandia and a taxi up to the door for R$10.

Junior Aaron Crow
March 14, 2008
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- - Missouri junior righthander Aaron Crow struck out 15 batters and recorded his first career complete-game shutout as the fourth-ranked Tigers defeated Toledo, 6-0, on Friday at Taylor Stadium. Crow improved to 4-0 on the season with the victory.
The 15 strikeouts are a career-high for Crow, bettering his mark of 10 set two weeks ago against Cal. Only two Toledo batters advanced beyond first base on Friday, as Crow allowed seven hits and did not walk a batter. Starting with the final out of the fourth inning and continuing through the eighth inning, Crow struck out 11 of the 15 batters he faced, including striking out the side in the eighth.
Crow and the Rockets starting pitcher Kyle Rawlings were locked in a pitchers' dual through the first seven innings, as a run scored by the Tigers in the bottom of the first was the only run scored until Mizzou put up five in the bottom of the eighth inning.
In that eighth inning, MU had three hits, including a double by senior Lee Fischer to lead off the inning. The Tigers batted around in the inning and in his second at-bat of the eighth, Fischer was hit by a pitch for the sixth time this season, forcing in a run. Fischer finished the game 2-for-3.
Fischer and junior Kyle Mach each had two hits on the day and each drove in a run. Sophomore Greg Folgia led off the game with a double that extended his hitting streak to six games. He scored the games' first run later in the first on a sacrifice fly by sophomore Trevor Coleman.
Mizzou have won five-straight games and at 10-2 is off to its best start to the season since the 2004 team opened the year 11-2.
Due to the forecast of inclement weather on Saturday, Mizzou and Toledo will play just one game on Saturday, starting at 5 p.m., instead of the originally scheduled doubleheader. A doubleheader is now scheduled for Sunday, with game one starting at 1 p.m. Check mutigers.com throughout the weekend for any scheduling changes due to the weather.

Geographic Range
Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Philippines. Also recorded from the islands of Penang, Singapore and Tioman.
Naked bats roost in hollow trees, caves, buildings, rock crevices, and holes in the earth.
Physical Description
The naked bat is a striking member of the Molossidae. It is virtually hairless, except for short, fine hairs on the head and tail membrane, and black, bristly hairs around the neck, on the first toe of the hind foot (probably used for grooming) and on the throat sack, which produces a strong-smelling secretion. Males secrete the substance by a series of small pores, females by a single large orifice (Lekagul and McNeely, 1977). Both sexes also possess a pouch along the sides of the body, formed by a fold of skin that runs from the upper arm to the upper part of the leg. The pouches open towards the rear and the wings are pushed into them by the hind feet. In this way, the bat can move about relatively freely on all four limbs. C. torquatus has the thickest jaws, widest face, and some of the broadest-tipped wings in the entire family. The head is relatively large and broad with a well-developed posterior sagittal crest. Unlike most Molossidae, the ears are separate, small and triangular, and the lips are smooth. The muzzle lacks a noseleaf and the snout projects well beyond the bottom jaw. The thick, elastic skin is almost black and contains many wrinkles and folds. The thick tail protrudes well over half its length. The wings are attached to the midpoint of the back. The first toe of each hind foot is opposable and equipped with a flattened nail rather than a claw. The dental formula is 1/1, 1/1, 1/2, 3/3 x 2 = 26. The upper incisors are robust, short and protrude forward. There is a diastema between the upper incisor and canine (Lekagul and McNeely, 1977). Head and body: 132-145 mm; tail: 56-71 mm. Weight: 167-196 grams.
- Other Physical Features
- endothermic
- bilateral symmetry
- Range mass
- 167 to 196 g
- 5.89 to 6.91 oz
- Range length
- 115 to 145 mm
- 4.53 to 5.71 in
C. torquatus usually has two offspring. The mammae are positioned near the opening of the pouch, which is present in both sexes and runs along the sides of the body. It was traditionally thought that the young were carried and nursed in the pouch. However, according to Nowak (1991) the young are probably left in the roost when the parents leave on their evening flights.
- Key Reproductive Features
- gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate)
- sexual
- fertilization
- viviparous
- Average number of offspring
- 2
C. torquatus is gregarious, as roosts of nearly a thousand are found and a colony in a cave in Borneo totaled 20,000 (Nowak, 1991). They leave their roost early in the evening, and feed quickly and directly, more boldly than smaller bats which move cautiously to avoid predators such as owls and bat hawks. They use echolocation to hunt for food, and clicking sounds are audible during echolocation.
Communication and Perception
Food Habits
C. torquatus is insectivorous. The diet primarily consists of termites and other insects, hunted either over clearings and fields or above the forest canopy. Wastes are eliminated as both feces and oral pellets.
- Primary Diet
- carnivore
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Since C. torquatus live in large numbers they consume vast quantities of insect pests.
- Positive Impacts
- controls pest population
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Farmers in Malaya believe that C. torquatus feeds on paddy, gathering grain from ripe ears to store in the roost. However, it is more likely that rats, which share this habitat with bats, are responsible for the grain found inside hollow trees (Medway, 1978).
Conservation Status
Listed as Lower Risk/Near Threatened by the International Union of Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN).
- IUCN Red List
Least Concern
