Grammar and the Common Core
I hear the same two comments at English-language arts conferences all the time: 1. "I've heard that research has proven grammar, usage, mechanics, spelling, and vocabulary instruction doesn't work." 2. "I teach grammar and they seem to get it. They pass my tests and do okay on the standardized tests, but they don't transfer the learning to their writing or speaking. And they just don't retain what we've covered. Their next-year teacher always asks why I don't teach grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling."
So, should we bother teaching grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling? Some would say "No." This is what Dr. Stephen Krashen recommends, at least until high school. Dr. Krashen finds that students learn grammar, usage, mechanics, spelling, and vocabulary most efficiently through free voluntary reading, not explicit instruction or even writing, as my old National Writing Project colleagues would advocate. Now, to be fair, Dr. Krashen does see the value of teaching some usage issues and grammatical terminology. And he advocates teaching students how to use language resources, such as language handbooks, to correct errors and improve writing style. But he, and others of his ilk, certainly support the overall position described in the first comment listed above. My view is that the collective jury is still out on this research question.
Irrespective of the research into the effectiveness of explicit grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling instruction, the writers of the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS) certainly affirm the need for instruction in these skill and content areas. In fact, grammar, usage, mechanics, spelling, and vocabulary now have their own CCSS Language Strand in the English Language Arts Standards. Apparently, language instruction is back in style.
According to the CCSS writers, "Students must have a strong command of the grammar and usage of spoken and written standard English to succeed academically and professionally." And, despite the comments of the CCSS writers designed to placate English-language arts teachers clinging onto a teach-grammar-only-through-writing approach, the pendulum has definitely swung back toward explicit instruction of these Standards.
Even the most recent National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) position statement in the NCTE Guideline now stresses the importance of direct instruction in these areas with the caveat that instruction must be connected to reading, writing, and speaking. Regarding instructional approaches, the NCTE position might surprise some die-hard anti-grammar fanatics:
Experiment with different approaches until you find the ones that work the best for you and your students. Some teachers focus on showing students how phrases add rich detail to sentences. Other teachers find that sentence diagrams help students see the organization of sentences. Some use grammar metaphors (the sentence, for example, as a bicycle, with the subject as the front wheel and the predicate as the back). Some emphasize the verb as the key part of speech, showing students how the sentence is built around it and how vivid verbs create vivid sentences.
But, back to the teacher comments at the English-language arts conferences. The second comment listed above reflects the common experience of so many English-language arts teachers in their own classrooms. There just is no doubt that students tend to have troubles transferring their learning of grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling to writing and (with grammar and usage) speaking, not to mention next-year's-teacher.
The CCSS writers acknowledge and validate this common experience. The CCSS writers explicitly recognize the cyclical nature of formal and standard language acquisition in their narrative and in the Standards themselves. To wit, the Standards include specific "Progressive Language Skills" to review, practice, and build on key Standards precisely because of the "recursive, ongoing nature of grammatical knowledge."
However, simply acknowledging the fact that students have trouble with language transfer does not solve the problem. Teachers do need to take a fresh look at instructional approaches. One approach would be to take a hard look at how students have learned some grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling and then devise instructional approaches to replicate this success for other un-mastered language content and skills. In other words, find out what has worked and do more of that.
What Works
1. We know from language acquisition research and classroom practice that new skills are best acquired when students notice and understand, before practice. That is, input is more important than output for student mastery of skills and/or content. This appears to be true for both primary language and secondary language students. Production, that is writing and speaking application and practice, should come after a certain degree of mastery has been acquired.
Application: Provide comprehensible input via oral language to learn grammar, usage, mechanics, spelling, and vocabulary content and skills. Teaching grammar, usage, mechanics, spelling, and vocabulary through active listening and interactive discussion with plenty of examples makes sense. Use mentor texts to analyze how writers and speakers use the language skill and content.
2. We have to teach through successive approximation and build upon prior knowledge.
New learning best takes place in context of the old. The CCSS "Progressive Language Skills" identifies the key Standards to scaffold instruction. Expect the need to re-teach foundational language skills and content.
Application: Begin the year with extensive review of language skills and content. Reference and practice prior Standards, then build upon these foundations to extend learning.
3. Students can chew gum and walk at the same time. Teach language form and meaning concurrently. Form influences meaning and meaning influences form. The CCSS Standards integrate form and meaning: traditional and descriptive approaches to language learning.
Application: Target the specific skill or content to be learned and teach, then practice in all of the communicative contexts. Teach the academic language, show and practice the variety of grammatical structures, validate the different purposes and forms of communication and contrast to Standard English, and provide a meaningful rationale for learning "correct" English to motivate learning.
4. Practice output in both contrived and meaningful contexts.
Application: Use canned, repetitive practice in limited doses. Most students don't have to do "all of the even number exercises on page 223" to master a skill and/or concept. "Drill and kill" worksheets never killed anyone. But, contrived practice needs to target specific skills, inform the student as to "what is correct and what is not" via immediate feedback, provide a basis for formative assessment, and help the student practice skills and content already learned (#s 1 and 2 above.) Teachers do need to provide authentic writing tasks to practice what has been learned and give immediate and specific feedback regarding task application.
5. Assess learning, adjust instruction to re-teach, and differentiate instruction.
Application: English-language arts teachers need to buy-in to formative assessment to teach at the point of individual student needs. What good is it if we've "taught it," if they haven't learned it? That next-year's teacher does have a point. And tracking students into remedial, regular, and honors classes does not address this point. Tracking, whether beneficial or not, is about delivery of content and skills, not about differentiating instruction according to what students have or have not learned.
The author of this article, Mark Pennington, has written the assessment-based Teaching the Language Strand Grades 4-8 programs to teach the Common Core Language Standards. Each full-year program provides 56 interactive grammar, usage, and mechanics lessons. (Check out a seventh grade teacher teaching the direct instruction and practice components of these lessons on YouTube.) The complete lessons also include sentence diagrams, error analysis, mentor texts, writing applications, and sentence dictation formative assessments with accompanying worksheets (L.1, 2). Plus, each grade-level program has weekly spelling pattern tests and accompanying spelling sort worksheets (L.2), 56 language application opener worksheets (L.3), and 56 vocabulary worksheets with multiple-meaning words, Greek and Latin word parts, figures of speech, word relationships with context clue practice, connotations, and four square academic language practice (L.4, 5, and 6). Comprehensive biweekly unit tests measure recognition, understanding, and application of all language components.
Teaching the Language Strand also has the resources to meet the needs of diverse learners. Diagnostic grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling assessments provide the data to enable teachers to individualize instruction with targeted worksheets. Each remedial worksheet (over 200 per program) includes independent practice and a brief formative assessment. Students CATCH Up on previous unmastered Standards while they KEEP UP with current grade-level Standards. Check out PREVIEW THE TEACHER'S GUIDE AND STUDENT WORKBOOK to see samples of these comprehensive instructional components.
The author also provides these curricular "slices" of the Teaching the Language Strand "pie": the five Common Core Vocabulary Toolkits Grades 4−8; the five Differentiated Spelling Instruction Grades 4−8 programs (digital formats only); and the non-grade-leveled Teaching Grammar and Mechanics with engaging grammar cartoons (available in print and digital formats).

It's not the first to crash to Earth, and Moon Knight decides he must figure out who's behind it. With Frenchie's help, they trace the "shots" back to a man-made Caribbean island, owned by a man named Harlan Silverbird. Silverbird tricked NASA scientist Randi Moore into helping him develop a Vibranium Ray. Moon Knight shows up and is faced with Silverbird, who has a Vibranium forcefield, stopping any of Moon Knight's metal weaponry from making contact. Randi explains that Silverbird is only stalling him as the sequence is automated. Moon Knight then decides to bring down the firing dish, fighting several armed goons on his way up. Silverbird manages to get his rocket into the air, but Moon Knight turns the cannon down onto his complex, melting the whole island in on itself. He manages to save Randi, but Silverbird goes down with the island.(Note: With the divergent story and different artist, this is clearly a filler issue)

Represent logical decision-making behavior with conditions, decisions, and actions
The Truth Table block is a truth table function that uses MATLAB® as the action language. Use this block when you want to use truth table logic directly in a Simulink® model. This block requires a Stateflow license.
When you add a Truth Table block directly to a model instead of calling truth table functions from a Stateflow chart, these advantages apply:
It is a more direct approach, especially if your model requires only a single truth table.
You can define truth table inputs and outputs to have inherited types and sizes.
The Truth Table block works with a subset of the MATLAB language that is optimized for generating embeddable C code. This block generates content as MATLAB code. As a result, you can take advantage of other tools to debug your Truth Table block during simulation.
For purely logical behavior, truth tables are easier to program and maintain than graphical functions. Truth tables also provide diagnostics that indicate whether you have too few (underspecified) or too many (overspecified) decisions for the conditions you specify.
The following model,
shows a home environment controller that attempts to maintain a selected
temperature and humidity. The model has a Truth Table block,
that responds to changes in room temperature (input
and humidity (input
If you double-click the Truth Table block in
the Truth Table Editor opens to display its conditions, actions, and
decisions. Here is the display for the Truth Table block named

For more information about the Truth Table Editor, see Truth Table Editor Operations.
To add or edit data in a Truth Table block, open the Ports and Data Manager by selecting Add > Edit Data/Ports in the Truth Table Editor.
Using the Ports and Data Manager, you can add these elements to a Truth Table block.
You can add these types of data:
|Input trigger
An input trigger causes a Truth Table block to execute when a Simulink control signal changes or through a Simulink block that outputs function-call events. You can use one of these input triggers:
For more information, see Define Events.
|Function-call output
|A function-call output triggers a function call to a subsystem. For more information, see Create a Function-Call Subsystem in the Simulink documentation.
The Truth Table block accepts signals of any data type that Simulink supports, including fixed-point and enumerated data types. The block also accepts frame-based signals. Truth Table blocks work with frame-based signals in the same way as MATLAB Function blocks (see Add Frame-Based Signals in the Simulink documentation).
For a discussion of data types that Simulink supports, refer to the Simulink documentation.

I do not want to offend you by answering this question, but, if this was given to you as a legal script, you shouldn't worry about whether or not it shows the same in a urine test, because you should be able to produce the prescription bottle with your name on it and there should be no questions.

Hi Pedro,
I have just bought a Minolta enlarger and I would like to use it with multigrade papers.
May I ask you, what results have you got and how do you use this enlarger to control the contrast? I mean what filter values do you use?
You should find that the manufacturer of the paper includes a list of Y or Y/M values with the datasheet for grades from 0-5.
(also notice that this thread was started in 2006 and the last post to it was also in 2006! You may want to start a new thread of your own - and welcome to APUG!)
I wonder what happened to Pedro and how he got on with our advice seven years ago? :D
I use Foma variant. Neither Foma nor Ilford gives Y/M values for Minolta enlargers.
Earlier I used Ilford filters which were very easy, but with the diachoric head is very complicated. When I change the value of the filters, I change the amount of the light and the ISO speed of the paper. I dont even know how many stops I change with the filters.
A bit of googling suggests that the Kodak group of filter numbers will work for the Minolta.
The actual Foma filters are not speed matched (and use double filters for the extreme grades) but, as a starting point, you could try the Multigrade suggestions for neutral density and grade from the Ilford website. If that doesn't work out, then making two exposures - one max yellow and one max magenta - will give you some sort of system which you can repeat (the infamous split-grade idea). Many people, me included, also use the Ilford under-lens filters with white light from the colour-head to print on various brands of variable-contrast paper.
Maybe the OP is still in his darkroom? ;)
I agree with using the Kodak numbers as a starting point. However, one advantage of the dichro head is the ability to use values in between the stated grades. For instance, Ilford gives grade 2 1/2 as 5 magenta, and grade 3 as 30 magenta. But, I find a lot of my negatives need 10 magenta. Yes exposure times change. You will have to do new test strips at the new filter setting.
Minolta Mod III? If so, I use the "DURST (170max)" Ilford filter reference. You can make your own chart also ( http://www.apug.org/forums/forum41/5...olor-head.html )

This January, fearsome rivalries will clash, family secrets will be revealed, and evil takes a stand. ONCE UPON A TIME returns Sunday, January 6th at 8:00 pm/ET on ABC! Below, get a sneak peek at upcoming episodes.
Master storytellers Edward Kitsis and ADAM HOROWITZ ("Lost," "Tron: Legacy") invite everyone to Storybrooke, Maine, a small town that probably won't show up on one's GPS, but it's a place where magic is coming!
To ensure that no one in fairytale land – especially Snow White – had any more "happily ever afters," Evil Queen Regina cast a curse which trapped the fairytale characters, frozen in time, and brought them into our modern world. Although still alive, they had no knowledge of their former selves and were sleepwalking through life – ageless -- for 28 years, until a savior arrived in the form of Emma Swan. Unbeknownst to Emma, she was the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, who had whisked her out of fairytale land and into our world as an infant to save her from the curse. Abandoned as a baby, Emma's life was anything but magical; her last job was as a bail bondsperson, but she mostly drifted without much of a life plan. When her 10-year-old son, Henry -- whom she had given up for adoption years earlier -- appeared on her doorstep with a book of fairytales and a wild story about how Emma was the progeny of fairytale characters trapped in a town called Storybrooke, she thought he was crazy. But curiosity got the better of her, and when she brought Henry back to the town – where Regina, ever the control freak, had made herself mayor and was also Henry's adoptive mother -- Emma soon discovered that Storybrooke was more than it seemed. Over time she came to believe the stories were true, began to see cracks in the curse, and was finally able to break it.
Reality and myth were merged as the fairytale characters began awakening, once the curse was lifted, and remembered who they were. But to their dismay they were not transported back to fairytale land. And to make matters worse, Rumplestiltskin – aka Mr. Gold – in an effort to gain the upper hand in his power struggle with Regina, introduced magic into the town. In fairytales magic has its place, but in our world it can have unfathomable consequences. Now the fairytale characters must contend with magic in their quest to find a way home, as new fairytale characters are revealed, Old Acquaintances are revisited, and some we had come to believe could be trusted will turn against their own kind.
"Once Upon a Time" stars Ginnifer Goodwin as Snow White/Mary Margaret, Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan, Lana Parrilla as Evil Queen/Regina, Josh Dallas as Prince Charming/David, Emilie de Ravin as Belle, Jared S. Gilmore as Henry Mills, Meghan Ory as Red Riding Hood/Ruby and Robert Carlyle as Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold.

Best of 2010 - Worst DLC for Good Games Winner
Find out our winner for Worst DLC for Good Games of 2010!

Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
are you kidding me i actually enjoyed witch hunt
I stumbled across this video recently, and I have to wholeheartedly disagree. Sure, Witch Hunt wasn't the best game of the year, but it did have 1. Reasonably fleshed out characters, 2. a semi-reasonably story related to lore items placed in the original game, and 3. it gave closure to the original storyline IF you were (SPOILERS) a male character and pursued a romantic relationship with Morrigan. I'm not sure if it had to with the fact that I still carried/wore Morrigan's ring, but Morrigan went into a fair bit of detail (relative to how much she usually divulges) about the main character's son, his safety, her feelings towards the main character and whatnot. Anyone who claims that the main character entering the mirror portal with Morrigan is a cliff-hanger ending lacking finality probably thought Frodo needed to napalm Mordor after the line of Kings was restored, or that the end of FFII (US) lacked resolution.
Well, I just played Witch Hunt and I actually liked it. At least it's better than Warden's Keep or Return to Ostagar which was total fail. BioWare probably couldn't afford Claudia Black to star in the entire DLC that's why everyone is so dismissive of it. But yeah, Morrigan could've been less ambiguous about her plans.
What is the deal with this sexually ambiguous announcer guy? Seriously he's got to go.
his look reminds me of jay in jay and silent bob but it says his name is carolyn petite
How does it not answer any questions? it tells you what happened to morrigan and the god-child. What other answers were you looking for?
the presenter's voice is a distraction
Is he gay
Is that a guy?

Valentine's Day was a somber event for the Denair Unified School District as it continued to process cuts for the 2013-14 school year.
The Turlock Unified School District's plan to implement a program that will give students the leg-up they need in science and technology was approved by the Board of Trustees.
One local student imagined how an ordinary egg journeys to the supermarket and eventually the breakfast platter. Another taught a city girl what it takes to live on a farm. Still another explained the importance of barn owls during harvest season.
California State University, Stanislaus opened its doors and knowledge to the public on Saturday in a celebration of science. Hundreds of families explored the wonder and diversity of life at all levels, as well as physics and geology. Science Day featured themed activities for kids like kitchen chemistry and the Six-Legged Zoo, along with open labs and guided tours of the university's science facilities that included the campus planetarium.
The Turlock Unified School District is looking to bring even more fresh fruits and vegetables to its students through a U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm to School grant.
Dozens of schoolchildren entered the First Step Dental office Friday morning; for some a first-time dental experience. The purpose of annual field trip day: make children more comfortable with going to the dentist and teach important dental hygiene skills.
When Turlock High School yearbook advisor Virginia Barr entered her classroom one morning in December 2011, she was surprised to learn that a flood had destroyed her entire classroom from the inside.
As parishes across the nation celebrate Catholic Schools Week, students at Sacred Heart School in Turlock marked the annual event with a jog-a-thon, open house, and musical presentation.
With the onset of the recession and high unemployment rates, education is fundamental in succeeding in today's economy. The Turlock Unified School District is looking to offer a program that will give students the leg-up they need to compete in high-demand science and technology fields.
Turlock High School students began 2013 with a few changes, as longtime principal Dana Salles Trevethan moved into a position at the district office and assistant principal Marie Peterson stepped up to lead in her place.
Anthropology research at California State University, Stanislaus will soon get a technological upgrade thanks to a quarter million dollar grant.
LIVINGSTON - A rooftop in Merced County might be the last place you'd think high school students would find an education. But that's where 10 students of the Ceres High School Manufacturing Academy were two days last week, receiving instruction on installing solar panels on the roof of a low-income Livingston homeowners.
From a very early age, Karen Souza felt a special connection to her fellow students who didn't quite fit in. Souza eventually turned her passion for inclusion into a career as a teacher's aide in special education.
A community-wide celebration of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is planned for the day before he makes his debut in the Super Bowl arena.
In a special board meeting held Thursday night, the Denair Unified School District continued to process cuts for the 2013-14 school year in an effort to avoid financial insolvency.
Page 41 of 104
The resignation of a middle school principal has prompted Denair Unified School District to once again rethink administrators at three of its campuses.
With summer vacation in full swing, Turlock Unified School District is taking advantage of empty campuses to carry out a number of much-needed construction projects.
Although Oddmund Myhre has only been recently appointed to the position of Dean of the College of Education, Kinesiology and Social Work at California State University, Stanislaus, the new title does not strike him as unfamiliar.
Although the beginning of summer vacation is welcomed by students throughout Turlock Unified School District, it also consequently marks the beginning of months of food insecurity for many students who consider the campus cafeteria as their only source for a nutritious meal.

Damn it was hot, I was sweating.
An obstacle. Previously I had ridden over it without much effort:
WP Suspension at work:
Ouch! Don't worry, it didn't hurt so much and I already have one wonderful daughter. Obviously the speed was too low and I didn't lift the front end at all:
Much faster approaching speed led to better results:
It was his first try to cross the railroad and he made it
Baltic Sea and Port of Paldiski in the background. There used to be a Soviet Submarine Base couple of decades ago:
Later that day I managed to crash. Was riding between the tracks on second gear standing on the pegs. The rear wheel started to slide out to the right. Nothing special, has happened many times before. I managed to ride on sideways for 20meters trying to save it. Finally went down. Bent bars and broken indicator:
New hairstyle:
Now I can put the bike in the garage for winter and start some mods and repairs again. The 45mm header pipe from Resi is already here, some parts from Stefan are on the way. Hopefully next season will see DR with new exhaust system and engine that does not need 1 litre oil per 500kms.
i love the look of the 750/early 800..think the restyle though sympathetic lost a little of the BRUTAL look the older models had....

I won't attempt to take on Greg Mankiw's latest defense of the 1 percent. Dean Baker and Paul Krugman have raised most of the relevant issues.
But, in his defense of his defense, Mankiw does make a curious admission: capitalism is fatally flawed.
The admission actually occurs in his textbook [pdf], where Mankiw sends us to read his explanation of who bears responsibility for the most recent financial crisis (hint: it's half the fault of government, and half Wall Street). Then, he admits that financial crises "do occur from time to time."
Finally, keep in mind that this financial crisis was not the first one in history. Such events, though fortunately rare, do occur from time to time. Rather than looking for a culprit to blame for this singular event, perhaps we should view speculative excess and its ramifications as an inherent feature of market economies. Policymakers can respond to financial crises as they happen, and they can take steps to reduce the likelihood and severity of such crises, but preventing them entirely may be too much to ask given our current knowledge.
Yes, indeed, "speculative excess and its ramifications" are in fact "an inherent feature" of capitalist economies.* But then, Mankiw adds, "preventing them entirely may be too much to ask given our current knowledge."
What Mankiw sees as a problem of knowledge is what the rest of us see as a problem of economic institutions. It's precisely because the economic system is arranged so that a tiny minority at the top is able to continue to capture the surplus that financial crises occur on a regular basis.
What the rest of us know is that defending the 1 percent is precisely what will guarantee more financial crises in the future.
*And, for Mankiw, they're something we simply have to put up with because "for human welfare, growth swamps fluctuations."

Interior Work for Jesse-Parris Lamb

Curaçao + JetBlue Getaways
We took a long weekend and traveled to the island of Curaçao. JetBlue offers direct flights out of JFK airport, it's an easy four hours. If you book via JetBlue Getaways you can save lots of $$$ by booking flight and accommodations together. Not to mention JetBlue's Even More Space makes for a much more comfortable ride and a very appreciated feature for a tall girl like me who often has her legs crammed up against the seat.
Curacao is located at the bottom of the Caribbean island chain off the coast of Venezuela in between Aruba and Bonaire. Curaçao is a Dutch island, four languages are commonly spoken there, English, Dutch, Spanish and Papiamento the local dialect. Willemstad, its colorful capital is a port town. We stayed at Sonesta Kura Hulanda a boutique hotel made of brightly colored 17th and 18th century Dutch architecture set along winding cobblestone streets in a historical landmark. Each room has its own unique style, two pools, restaurants and shops.
The island is on the larger side at 171 square miles. We rented a car and drove all around the island, which I recommend. We visited during Curacao's dry season, cacti cover the islands rugged landscape. The beaches along the Northwest coast are calm and beautiful, perfect for snorkeling. I heard there is quite a good diving scene there as well. We visited two beaches Playa Porto Marie and Playa Jeremi. Playa Porto Marie offers a small restaurant and facilities as for Playa Jeremi was more of a locals beach. In the evenings we ate dinner in Willemstad, I recommend Kome and Fishalicious. Thank you JetBlue for sending us on this beautiful vacation!

Ace Hotel Palm Springs
Back in early April I was out west shooting the food and beverage for The Ace Hotel in Palm Springs. I admit, I am totally in love with this part of the world. Pool culture, dry heat, fire pits, margaritas, you name it I'm into it. It's very similar to how I grew up and feels like home. Palm Springs is luxurious and quirky. I DIG IT. My idea of a perfect weekend away.

Working abroad and lonely
I miss my wife so much… My first child was born last month but I can't meet…
Regretting Past
I still pray that both of those guy-friends stay happy and blessed with their new gorgeous soulmates. But my problem is that I am too much alone.
My husband left me but I don't understand if he cheated me or not
Still now I do not forget him, I still love him, I want him back in my life. Everyone hates him. I'm trying but I can't.
Trapped in my own thoughts
Was it my mistake as I wanted to be in limits… maybe I didn't give the guy what he wanted? I just hang out with girls, so was not hanging out with this guy the reason he left me?
Where do I fit in this world?
My relationship with my parents isn't so good. I spend most of the time ignoring them or bickering. I am clearly the least favorite child, but I don't mind.
Desires vs. society
Others might not be bothered delaying nikah in the desi society, but some have strong desires and since I'm one of them, why should I suffer? Some portray marriage as such a complex thing, as if it's no different than being jailed. Now I'm 22, don't watch porn, wish to stay away from fitna, sport a sunnah beard, and offer my prayers. But every so often when I get depressed, I just can't help but please myself.
Feeling hopeless about marriage
I can't find a partner for myself at all even though I have done many wazifas and prayed a lot. Though I have had proposals, but nothing seems to eventually work out.
I need some help for past abuse
I thought Allah hated me and wanted him to hurt me. Even though I know that's probably not right, I still feel that way sometimes. I feel like Allah hates me. Thats when I go back to my suicidal thoughts. I planned, but I'm too scared. Sometimes though I hurt myself without knowing because I'm just so sad.
Will Allah help and forgive me?
I was seeking love, but never got it. I know that I am bad, but I love Allah a lot. I always weep. Then after that in 2011, I again fell in love- but now it was serious and very supporting. He gave me that love which I had never gotten in my life.
Sad, frustated, astonished and sometimes hopeless. Where is my life?
Something inside me is torturing me saying,'You are not so good looking as Non muslims, who have fair white skin, and they all have pretty girls and they are also admired by girls for their muscles, and attractiveness. Allah maybe doesn't love you. In fact, He doesn't help you in your everyday struggle to be without someone to love. Watch how they enjoy sex, live fullfilled lives, get good positions at job, and look how they are enthusiastic about life.They get everything because they are good, and maybe you're not so good'.

With the help of a former Kansas State player, South Dakota made it a decent game against No. 25 Wildcats on the afternoon of New Year's Eve. The leading scorer for South Dakota after transferring from Kansas State, guard Juevol Myles scored 13 points. Nine of those came in the second half. With less than eight minutes to play, the Coyotes only trailed Kansas State by five. Ultimately, though, South Dakota could not keep up with Kansas State, and the Wildcats defeated the Coyotes 70-50. ''Good game for about 30 minutes, and then they really turned it up and turned us over,'' South Dakota coach Dave Boots said. ''I was proud of our kids that we got off to a slow start and they came back and hung in there in the second half and had a good battle.'' Nino Williams scored 16 points for the Wildcats, and Rodney McGruder added 15. Karim Rowson led the Coyotes with 14 points, six of which came from free throws. A significant portion of Myles' scoring also came from getting to the char...

Philon leads UA D-line by example
Posted: August 13, 2014 at 3:29 a.m.
Defensive tackle Darius Philon said he's not just bigger, stronger, faster and quicker than when he arrived at Arkansas in 2012.
UA position glance
Defensive tackles
RETURNING STARTER Darius Philon
KEY LOSSES Byran Jones, Robert Thomas, Horace Arkadie
WHO'S BACK DeMarcus Hodge, Taiwan Johnson, Ke'Tyrus Marks
WHO'S NEW Bijhon Jackson, Cordale Boyd, Grady Ollison, Armon Watts
ANALYSIS Philon is the only player with starting experience. Hodge, who played some key snaps as a reserve last season, came into fall camp as the No. 1 nose guard, but Johnson was promoted to that spot this week. Hodge can play tackle and nose guard. Jackson should be an impact freshman at nose guard and may challenge for a starting job. Boyd and Ollison have moved from the offensive line. The interior defense will get a major challenge in the season opener at Auburn, which figures to have one of the nation's top rushing offenses.

Report: 'Married' Star Murphy Wed
"Just Married" star
"[Murphy and Montjack] were drinking Crown Royal, and [they] didn't want photographers to take pictures of their rings because they were waiting to make a formal announcement on Monday," an unnamed source tells the celebrity magazine.
So far, Murphy's rep has declined to comment on her marital status.
Murphy, 29, has been wanting to exchange vows for a while. Two engagements -- to The Firm talent manager Jeff Kwatinetz and then later to "Little Black Book" production best boy Joe Macaluso -- came to naught. She also previously dated her "Just Married" co-star
The actress has starred in "Clueless," "Don't Say a Word," "8 Mile," "Uptown Girls" and "Sin City." She's also known for her voice work, playing the ditzy Luanne on FOX's "King of the Hill," Gloria for Warner Bros.' "Happy Feet" and the title role in "Tinker Bell" for Disney DVD.

The last part of the bolded of course
I believe that is theoretical money that the players are offering as concessions by asking for a lower salary increase than they expect the overall league revenue to grow. Under the assumption that the salary the players would have been paid had the CBA stayed the same and the league would continue to grow at either 5 or 7 per cent per year. I forget.
So, based on the assumption on the NHLPA getting 57% of the leagues revenue (including the 5-7 per cent growth per year) over the timespan of the proposed new CBA the players have according to Fehr offered to reduce that theoretical number by about a billion dollars over the timespan of that new CBA.
Since the last CBA, which actually turned out extremely well for the players, players and league has worked together to make the league grow financially. Now, they are working together to destroy a lot of what was gained. The two sides are battling over who gets the most of the fans money. Both sides, players and owners, are going to lose this battle. The players will be hurting the most. A lot of the teams would be losing money by having a season. So, there should be a greater incentive for the players to find a solution. But they're not going to find it whining to the press.
In a way the fans are the (financial) winners in this CBA.
It stuns me that they cant see the damage theyre doing. The deal was right there in front of their face had they sought a solution. The owners clearly were looking for a 50-50 split with that original proposal. That is not unreasonable. How did they not do a deal already.

Merkel's coalition digests painful election defeat
BERLIN Chancellor Angela Merkel pledged Monday to press ahead with a review of nuclear power's future in Germany after her coalition suffered a "very painful" defeat in a weekend state election dominated by Japan's nuclear crisis.
Despite the embarrassment of losing a region her conservative Christian Democratic Union had governed since 1958, Merkel downplayed its significance for her national government and said she had no plans to reshuffle her Cabinet.
The anti-nuclear opposition Greens, meanwhile, celebrated winning their first-ever state governorship after a center-left alliance snatched the southwestern state of Baden-Wuerttemberg on Sunday from Merkel's center-right coalition with the pro-business Free Democrats.
"It was a very painful day for the CDU in Baden-Wuerttemberg, but also for the whole Christian Democratic Union," Merkel said.
Events in Japan, defeated conservative governor Stefan Mappus added, were "one hurdle too many for us in the end."
They prompted Merkel to abruptly freeze for three months recently drawn-up plans to extend German nuclear plants' lives, and she ordered the oldest plants shut down temporarily pending safety checks.
That apparently disoriented some of her own supporters and raised questions over her credibility from opponents - which Merkel dismissed on Monday, saying her position had wide support.
"A major party like the CDU ... is well advised to draw new conclusions from new events," she told reporters. "Most of us of course advocate the peaceful use of nuclear energy. I was one of them, but for me Japan is a far-reaching event."
"We will implement every word of what we said before the election," she added. "The time before the moratorium won't be the same as the time after the moratorium."
The CDU's general secretary, Hermann Groehe, said he expects most of the seven now-disconnected old reactors - out of a total of 17 in Germany - to remain offline. He echoed other senior party members in rallying around the chancellor, telling ARD television that it "stands united behind Angela Merkel."
Merkel may have some breathing space now as none of the remaining three states holding elections this year currently has a governor from her party.
Besides, she has no serious rivals in her party, which still emerged as the biggest in Baden-Wuerttemberg and made small gains in a separate vote in neighboring Rhineland-Palatinate.
"Ms. Merkel is certainly tarnished in the short term now," said Oskar Niedermayer, a political science professor at Berlin's Free University. But he said that with federal elections more than two years away, it is far too early to speculate about any long-term damage.
Things look bleaker for her junior coalition partner, the Free Democratic Party of Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, whose supporters already were irked by its failure to deliver loudly pledged tax cuts.
Their share of the vote was halved in both Sunday's elections - ejecting them from government in Baden-Wuerttemberg and from the state legislature entirely in Rhineland-Palatinate.
While the nuclear crisis was the "all-deciding" issue Sunday, "it certainly wouldn't have hit the FDP so hard in the campaigns if we had been in better shape overall," Westerwelle said. "We will now have to consider how to get back on the road to success."

In this collection of thirty-four sketches, the author captures the extraordinary range of people, experiences, places and feelings that is New York City — the city behind the glamorous facade of Manhattan, inhabited by people who remember when this was "a great big wonderful town and they were young in its streets."These sketches, many based on actual incidents, take as their subject the "smaller dramas" of mankind, the chance encounters and random episodes that inform one's life; often twisting suddenly, surprisingly, at the end, they convey strong feelings in little space. Using all of New York as his broad canvas, Pete Hamill recreates the baffling array of human emotions, from sadness and nostalgia to home and love, with affection, grace and wry understanding.
Pete Hamill has been a newspaperman for almost four decades. Starting at the New York Post in 1960, he has worked at several newspapers as a reporter, rewriteman, war correspondent, and columnist. Most recently, he served as editor in chief… More about Pete Hamill
