On December 13, 2000 — thirty-six days after Americans cast their votes for president of the United States — George W. Bush claimed the White House in a speech from the chamber of the Texas House of Representatives. After a ruling by the Supreme Court effectively ended the election and after Democratic candidate Al Gore conceded one of the closest elections in American history, Bush reached back two centuries to find a precedent for such a contentious and prolonged presidential contest. After the Electoral College produced a tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr in 1800, the election was thrown into the United States House of Representatives. After 36 ballots, president-elect Bush related, the tie was finally broken, and Thomas Jefferson became the nation's chief executive. But both Jefferson and Burr were Republicans. The more significant event was that a Republican won the office over the Federalist candidate, John Adams. In a letter written years later, Jefferson would define this first transfer of political power as the "revolution of 1800." After the final ballots were counted, however, Jefferson's immediate tasks were to write and present his inaugural address. The address has been called one of the most important in U. S. history, and some of the phrases still ring through the ages.
Activity 2
Pretend you were on the losing end of the 1800 elections. Perhaps you are John Adams, a Federalist Congressman ousted by a Republican, or a Federalist Senator now in the minority. Compose a response to Jefferson's inaugural address from the Federalist standpoint. Students might even present it orally to their class, or have a "Crossfire" - type debate with a Republican colleague.
Enrichment and Extension
1. Presidential Transitions
Almost 20 years after the election of 1800, Jefferson evaluated the events of that first political party transition, and described it as a "revolution." He wrote to Spencer Roane on September 6, 1819: "[The election] was as real a revolution in the principles of our government as that of [17]76 was in its form; not effected indeed by the sword, as that, but by the rational and peaceable instrument of reform, the suffrage of the people. The nation declared its will by dismissing functionaries of one principle, and electing those of another, in the two branches, executive and legislative, submitted to their election." The election put Republicans in control of the White House and Congress.
Jefferson obviously considered the "revolution" a great success. Indeed from the time of Jefferson's election until his death in 1826 a Republican occupied the White House. But in his inaugural address you will find many passages exhorting Americans to unite for the good of the nation. Many presidents have found that their first official speech required such language. But there are abundant documents that show that Jefferson did not mean that Federalists and Republicans could find common ground, as much as he hoped to convince Federalists to change their thinking to mirror his. The year after his first inauguration, he wrote to a friend: "I shall . . . by the establishment of republican principles . . . sink federalism into an abyss from which there shall be no resurrection for it."
Select and research another presidential transition during times of dramatic change. What were the causes of the tensions or fears? Was the nation in real peril? How did the incoming president attempt to calm the nation in his inaugural address? Was he successful? For several examples on this site go to » "Presidential Transitions: The Torch is Passed"
For inaugural addresses from Washington to the present go to:
For documents and images related to all inaugurations go to the Web site of the Library of Congress and their exhibit, "I Do Solemnly Swear: Presidential Inaugurations"
2. You Say You Want a Revolution?
Revolution is a word tossed around in political circles with regularity today, but to the founding generation that took part in the first American Revolution, it was more likely to carry significant meaning. Historians also consider the first American Revolution to extend beyond the period between Bunker Hill and the peace treaty with Britain. The forging of the U.S. Constitution and the first government to serve under that charter in 1789 are considered to be culminations of a movement that began with the resistance to the Stamp Act in 1765.
When describing the election of 1800 as a second American "revolution," students will need to provide some context of the first revolution. Jefferson saw the election of Republicans to be a call from the American people to return to the spirit of 1776, to the fight for individual rights, and to the struggle to recover "virtue" in government. The third president thought that the Federalists had moved closer to monarchical ways of thinking and acting, exactly opposite of the intentions of the rebels. In fact, one prominent biographer claims this was not a "revolution" but a "reformation" in that Jefferson and the Republicans were reaching back in time to revive original ideals.
This would be a good topic for a paper or a performance with the student(s) portraying Jefferson and/or an opponent and using excerpts from the inaugural address and the letter to Spencer Roane to prepare the script.

What would Blake Shelton look like as a muppet? Well now we know. "Sesame Street" has made muppets out of three of The Voice judges - Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, and Cee Lo Green- plus the show's host Carson Daly. They will appear on the 43rd Season opener for Sesame Street this fall on PBS. Watch a peak of the muppets in the video below.
In the meantime, the third season of The Voice premiers September 10th on NBC. Here is the promo for the upcoming season. Really good stunts on this one.

Barack Obama has figured out what went wrong with Homeland Security this past Christmas: George W. Bush. "It's becoming clear that the system that has been in place for years now is not sufficiently up to date to take full advantage of the information we collect and the knowledge we have," Obama said Wednesday.
When you're president of the United States, you can't pass the buck to your superior. In response to this frustration, President Obama has developed what systems people like to call a "workaround": He passes the buck to his predecessor. A lot.
He started blaming Bush during the presidential campaign, which was natural enough. Here is candidate Obama on Iran, for example: "It is time to turn the page on eight years of policies that have strengthened Iran and failed to secure America or our ally Israel." But after becoming president, Obama just kept on going. On climate change: "After eight years in which there was resistance to even acknowledging the problem, I think my administration has been very clear that we intend to be a leader on this issue internationally." On trying terror suspects: "The decisions that were made over the last eight years established an ad hoc legal approach for fighting terrorism that was neither effective nor sustainable." And now, on the failed Christmas Day terror attack.
Here's a prediction: Obama will find that he's gone to the Blame Bush well one too many times. With the Christmas Day fiasco something has "become clear," alright. But it's not the failings of George W. Bush. James Carafano of the Heritage Foundation notes, "Since 2001, there have been 28 failed terrorist attacks against the United States. That averages out to about three foiled attempts per year. That was until this year. This year there were six failed attempts that make 2009 a banner year — the most in one year." Unprecedented, as Obama likes to say. A historic first, as his supporters are fond of putting it. Well, you might say, that doesn't mean that the Obama administration has necessarily opened us up to more attacks, right? Isn't it fair to say that it has stopped more attacks? Not exactly.

SlashGear Morning Wrap-Up, April 27th 2011
Good morning, or good afternoon to you all, depending on where you abide. It's been another busy morning at SlashGear, and we have lots of news to wrap up for you. Verizon's 4G LTE network is down nationwide, relegating those with a 4G hotspot or an HTC Thunderbolt to 1x speeds, but don't worry, there is a workaround. Also Sony defends its handling of the PSN hack, and the sluggish pace of getting information to customers. Acer comes out with not one but two 3D devices, and Nintendo lets us know that sales of its 3DS are "weaker than expected". After hearing that sales of the 3DS set records, we wonder if we can ever believe earnings reports. Much more news to wrap up, and A NEW GIVEAWAY after the cut.

Update on Recovery Act Lobbying Rules: New Limits on Special Interest Influence
Posted byon May 29, 2009 at 05:35 PM EDT
Another update from Norm Eisen, special counsel to the president for ethics and government reform, in the spirit of transparency as always:
I am writing with an update on the President's March 20, 2009 Memorandum on Ensuring Responsible Spending of Recovery Act Funds. Section 3 of the Memorandum required all oral communications between federally registered lobbyists and government officials concerning Recovery Act policy to be disclosed on the Internet; barred registered lobbyists from having oral communications with government officials about specific Recovery Act projects or applications and instead required those communications to be in writing; and also required those written communications to be posted on the Internet. That Memorandum instructed the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to review the initial 60 days of implementation of the stimulus lobbying restrictions, to evaluate the data, and to recommend modifications.
Following OMB's review, the Administration has decided to make a number of changes to the rules that we think make them even tougher on special interests and more focused on merits-based decision making.
First, we will expand the restriction on oral communications to cover all persons, not just federally registered lobbyists. For the first time, we will reach contacts not only by registered lobbyists but also by unregistered ones, as well as anyone else exerting influence on the process. We concluded this was necessary under the unique circumstances of the stimulus program.
Second, we will focus the restriction on oral communications to target the scenario where concerns about merit-based decision-making are greatest –after competitive grant applications are submitted and before awards are made. Once such applications are on file, the competition should be strictly on the merits. To that end, comments (unless initiated by an agency official) must be in writing and will be posted on the Internet for every American to see.
Third, we will continue to require immediate internet disclosure of all other communications with registered lobbyists. If registered lobbyists have conversations or meetings before an application is filed, a form must be completed and posted to each agency's website documenting the contact.
OMB will be consulting with agencies, outside experts and others about these principles and will publish detailed guidance, but we wanted to update interested parties on the outcome of the initial review. We consulted very broadly both within and outside of government (including as reflected in previous posts on the White House blog) and we are grateful to all those who participated in the process.

Does anyone know if there are any Al-Anon meetings for an Atheist? Or at least an alternative to Al-Anon? I really want/need help and i dont know where to turn to. I am in the Orange County, Ca area
I'm glad I could regurgitate something useful. I've struggled with alcohol in my past, but I know that the personal anecdotes of one person cannot compare to the support of a community. I hope you can find a group that can give you the support you need to overcome your own struggles. I also hope to see you are here again if this is a community that can give you what you need.
Welcome, Jen. In addition to Heather's usual good advice, you might have some luck searching for a behavioral psychologist who specializes in addiction illness. Here is one I found for starters. Shop around and tell each one up-front that you don't accept supernatural approaches to medical treatment. I wish you the best of luck for a full recovery.
Welcome to TA, Jen! Here is a link that may answer the question you asked in your blog post: http://www.cfiwest.org/sos/index.htm

01 December, 2011
Christmas. It's officially Christmas time.
This Christmas is going to be a hundred times smaller than last Christmas (what with me not working and all) and for some reason, I am way more excited this year.
I have been busy adding Christmas scrapbook stuff to my shop. If you find anything you like, you can use the code 'FRIENDS10' for 10% off your order! Perfect for Christmas cards. Or just to buy and stack in your craft room like I do. It's too pretty to use, dammit!
I just did 55 push-ups and my arms won't stop shaking. I understand why, but I wish they would stop.
Why is it that the satellite people want to charge me money for their tech to come out and fix a problem with their satellite? If it's their problem, shouldn't they be fixing it for free? Not charging me to fix their problem? I think so.
Trans Siberian Orchestra rocks my socks.
Baskin Robbins' flavor for December is freaking hot chocolate marshmallow. Let me type it again - HOT CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW! I don't like chocolate ice cream but I had to try it. And it's divine. I am not lying. It's light and chocolatey with a swirl of marshmallow cream and chunks of marshmallow, but it doesn't taste like regular chocolate ice cream. It is very much hot chocolate flavored. Oh my. If they sent me a ten-gallon bucket of it, I'd die happy.
Punk bought me some boots for Christmas and she is so excited to wrap them and put them under the non-tree* but I just really want to wear them! I made her hide them so I wouldn't sneak them out before Christmas. They are SO CUTE.
*We are not having a typical Christmas tree this year - I refuse to pay what the lots want and I am not exactly a hike-in-the-snow type of girl so I can't get my own, and I cannot come to terms with a fake tree quite yet. So I'm making our Christmas tree. And I don't know how to explain it but it's going to be gorgeous, I just know it. I'll take pictures, I promise.

HOT CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW! Oh my goodness! : )ReplyDelete
I have been listening to Christmas music since Thanksgiivng.. my children want to kill me..
I agree with so much of your post love it! Christmas will for sure be small this year (me no longer working and all our overtime for Brandon was cut off in July :( UGH!) I am somewhat excited for it still. Been entering unbelievable amounts of giveaways to help us out..I am so not lucky this year with them. bummer! Barrowed $270 from my Dad to get the kids Christmas til we get Brandons small bonus check to pay him back..and hit the awesome online aeropostle sales and used online codes for shirts all under $3 each for all the kids(besides the baby) and even a few for Brandon(his were $5 nice polos!) Excited about that...so it will still be wonderful. But had to break the news to my 10 yr old of the real santa because she was set that Santa was going to Bring her an ipad because both the neighbor kids got them last year and other friends got ipods. Man how would it be! Can't wait to see your tree pics!!!ReplyDelete
I seriously can't wait to see this tree. I love easy going Christmases they are the best.ReplyDelete
I don't think it matters how big or small a Christmas is. What matters most is what is in your heart. I'm excited to see pictures of your tree.ReplyDelete

There's a cynical saying: "No good deed goes unpunished." But is the reverse equally plausible? Consider the return of Gregory Jaczko to the federal fold.
In 2012 Mr. Jaczko left the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, where he served as chairman, under heavy criticism from his colleagues and staff. There were widespread complaints from staff about his objectionable management style, and from his fellow board members, who said he kept them out of the loop.
He certainly did so in regard to the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository, and in the worst way. He managed to get the project shut down, despite 30 years of planning and work costing some $20 billion. In August, a federal appeals court ordered the NRC to restart the process on Yucca, with one judge citing Mr. Jaczko's central role in its unwarranted closure.
Nevertheless, there is still a place in the federal government for someone with Mr. Jaczko's powerful connections.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, whom Mr. Jaczko served both as a Senate staff member and in his work as chairman of the NRC, has appointed him a member of the Congressional Advisory Panel on the Governance of the Nuclear Security Enterprise. The panel is charged with making recommendations on behalf of improved operations at the Department of Energy's weapons facilities.
Those include the Savannah River Site, where much of the nation's defense waste is stored. So Mr. Jaczko's continued involvement in nuclear issues should be of interest to South Carolina, and particularly Aiken County. Both were forced to sue the NRC because of Mr. Jaczko's unilateral actions to terminate the Yucca project. Without Yucca, SRS will continue to serve as a waste site for massive quantities of high-level waste. And unlike Yucca, SRS wasn't built for the task.
In view of his mischief-making at the NRC, Mr. Jaczko's continued involvement in nuclear policy-making should be subject to the closest scrutiny.
As he carried out his campaign against Yucca Mountain, Mr. Jaczko had the support of Sen. Reid and the administration. Yucca is located in Mr. Reid's home state of Nevada, and he has fought the project for decades. But closure requires congressional and NRC support, neither of which were obtained before Mr. Jaczko pulled the plug. Indeed, Congress has backed the project since its inception — a point that wasn't lost on the appeals court.
As Judge A. Raymond Randolph wrote, "Although the Commission had a duty to act on the application and the means to fulfill that duty, former Chairman Gregory Jaczko orchestrated a systematic campaign of noncompliance. Jaczko unilaterally ordered Commission staff to terminate the review process in October 2010; instructed staff to remove key findings from reports evaluating the Yucca Mountain site; and ignored the will of his fellow Commissioners."
That's hardly a recommendation for a new federal role in the nuclear realm for the ex-chairman. But apparently it is not an impediment when you have friends in high places.
With an influential patron like Sen. Reid, you just can't go wrong.

text: I heard this song a while back and finally get to post it up here. It is another shorter song from Freebass but I still like hearing everything they have to offer. This is a joint that is easy to dance to and The Apple Juice Kid samples Arctic Monkey's for the beat and it is cool and different. I wonder if there are any plans for an album/mixtape or anything in the near future? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there will be something this year. I also would love to go to another live show of theirs, I went to Studio B in Brooklyn last year when they played there and it was a great show, but of course I'm partial to any rapper/group who has live intruments backing them up.

Hv installed HBC + DVDX + Bootmii as an IOS. I have also backed up NAND on my SD card. Hv installed Gecko 184.108.40.206 OS. Can I now play NTSC original game discs (my Wii is PAL and brand new) by forcing NTSC through Gecko? Any risks with hidden updates on the original discs that could brick my Wii? Any safer way to play the NTSC discs that can help avoid brikking? Thx

Hi oddgriffin, thx..If I do play the original game discs, will it not ask me before running an update? or do the updates start automatically as soon as I launch the game and brick my wii?
I am not sure how that works on gecko, since most of us are completely softmodded and never use it. You are getting into some risky territory so it would be best to do the whole softmod so that you can install prilloader to prevent this.
will do....for PAL 4.2E can you guide me to the latest link/tut to priiloader and wad manager? Thx
Thx...oddgriffin. Wish me luck. I have read the guide now. After I install priiloader, I am presuming that instead of usbloader gx, I can opt for Gecko Os and then safely launch my NTSC discs...is this correct?
If you follow that 4.2 guide completely, you can install your retail disks to a harddrive or a flashdrive and be done with using disks. Usbloader gx has a nice animated menu and will create a database of all the installed games.
Yes you can launch the retail disks through gecko, and priiloader will protect you if you enable the block updates from disk hack.
OK....since I have HBC channel installed, and looking at the 4.2 guide to install priiloader, I can skip steps 1 and 2. I do not belive that I need all the files below to go to step 3. Thus, I can delete the files highlighted below in red and keep the rest to proceed to step 3.....is this correct?
On step 4, "Under currently installed, you should 'Stub',"...what is stub?
I would do exactly as the guide says including keepin the files on there, but you don't have to actually run the hackmii installer again that would install homebrew and bootmi so you can skip the actual step.
Stubs are what nintendo put on your system to keep you from softmodding, this guide will walk you through removing them.
Any other questions about the guide should be asked in the thread of the guide, as we have experts constantly watching for new posts/questions.

Good evening folks,
I am trying to play Tiger Woods on line, but each time I try to start a game I get the following message it says Error Launching Unity Player, under error details it says that Invalid unity web file (decompression failure). I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the web player but to no avail. It is just in the last week or so this has started, it was working fine previously. Any advise would be appreciated.
Cheers Philatelist

i have a theory to this: something caused the web-player to get corrupted, and now, nothing that relies on the web-player works.... but it's just a theory of mine, not fact.

WEST POINT, N.Y. - President Barack Obama says the United States must lead on the world stage, but also show restraint before rushing into military operations overseas.
Obama is outlining his foreign policy vision for his final two years during a commencement address at the U.S. Military Academy.
Obama says the U.S. is emerging from a long period of war. But he says isolationism isn't an option in the 21st century.
He says the U.S. will use force when necessary, but is stronger when it doesn't act alone.
Obama also says he plans to work with Congress to increase support for the Syrian opposition.
The speech comes a day after Obama offered a blueprint for ending the U.S. military engagement in Afghanistan.

Study: 20 Minutes Of Practicing A Lie Will Make You Indistinguishable From A Truth-Teller
Like anything else in life, practice makes perfect, and lying is no exception, as a new study shows practicing a lie for a mere twenty minutes can make it indistinguishable from the truth.
The study, published in the Frontiers of Science journal, shows that practicing a lie can allow liars to tell that lie just as easily and naturally as they would tell the truth.
"After a short time of training, people can be very efficient at lying," said Xioaqing Hu, the study's co-author and psychology doctoral candidate at Northwestern University. "The difference between lying and being honest has been eliminated after the training."
Hu and his peers at Northwestern were especially interested in the effect time had on lies, so they focused their study that particular aspect.
The team asked 16 volunteers to remember three fake facts about themselves: a new name, a new date of birth and a new hometown.
The volunteers were then asked whether or not a specific personal fact was true. Responders would press a "yes" or 'no" button in front of them to input their answers.
A certain percentage of volunteers were designated "liars," and were instructed to press "yes" when something was false and "no" when something was true.
While volunteers initially hesitated while lying, after 270 trials or 20 minutes of practicing a lie, they were able to tell the lie as naturally as the truth.
Lying is especially difficult because it goes against what the brain instinctively knows and wants to do, as the truth is what is stored in the brain.
It takes a lot more brainpower to lie, as it suppresses the natural desire to tell the truth.
"Lying is a difficult, because honesty is the default communication mode," Hu said.
This explains why children are such terrible liars, as they have only recently learned the default communication mode.
Once practiced, however, suppressing the desire to tell the truth can become second nature, which can explain why some people seemingly cannot tell the truth.
Practicing a lie can suppress the truth so much so that the individual telling the lie actually believes it.
The researchers hope their data will help law enforcement agencies deal with criminals.
Hopefully people do not use this new data in order to become better liars. Aw hell, of course they will. I already started practicing.

10 Reasons to study Theatre at York University
1. Our Tradition…
Since 1970, The Department of Theatre has been developing theatre artists, critics and scholars at the highest level for the profession of theatre.
2. Our Unique Programs
York offers undergraduate degrees in Theatre Studies (BA), Acting (BFA), and Design/Production (BFA). We start with 140 of the most passionate theatre students we can find from our exhaustive search each year. These students then spend a challenging first year learning as much as possible, through academic inquiry and hands-on practice, about all aspects of live performance, including history, theory, acting, design, production, and management. With this exposure to the rich and varied possibilities for a career in the theatre, students are able to make choices and pursue specialized courses of study in upper years. Acting, Devised Theatre, Playwriting and Design/Production require a separate application for students wishing to pursue those specialties after first year.
We also offer graduate degrees in Acting (MFA), Directing (MFA), Design (MFA) and diploma programs in the teaching of Voice, Movement and Acting for the theatre. With the only Graduate Acting program in the country, and with remarkable opportunities for grad directors to work with seasoned graduate actors, York offers a unique training sequence to serious artists.
Graduate degrees in Theatre Studies (MA and PhD) are also offered, focusing on theatre, performance and cultural politics, with internationally recognized faculty leading explorations into topics such as Canadian Theatre, Postcolonialism & Globalization, Cultural Policy & Theatrical Economies, Gender & Sexuality, Embodiment & Cultural Memory, Environment & Cultural Geography, Critical Pedagogy & Community Engagement, and Intermediality & Technology.
By limiting enrolment in both our undergraduate and graduate programs, we ensure that our students are among the most creative, professional and dedicated in Canada. Student work is of the highest calibre and often goes on to be produced, screened or published outside the university, both before and after graduation.
3. Our People…
Collectively, our faculty & staff have written, produced, directed, developed, dramaturged, designed, built, staged, performed, coached, stage managed and otherwise created, hundreds of plays and films; their work has appeared on stages and been screened at festivals around the world, from NYC to Vancouver, London to Boston, China to Poland, Cuba to South Africa. We've written and edited articles, books, encyclopedias, and plays in print and online, and presented at hundreds of conferences around the world. We bring the world of theory and practise together on a daily basis, in classrooms and studios, on stages and rehearsal halls, in seminar rooms and on location.
4. Our Alumni …
Our former students have gone on to become successful actors, directors, dramaturgs, playwrights, producers, carpenters, designers, scenic painters, costume technicians, props makers, technical directors, professors and creators for theatre, film and television in Canada, the U.S. and abroad.
5. Our Local Theatre Scene …
Toronto is the theatre capital of Canada, and an important player in North American theatre and film. Toronto is the third-largest centre for English theatre in the world, and a fantastic city for all varieties of theatre, film, dance, art and music. Important theatres include: Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, Canadian Stage Company, Crow's Theatre, Factory Theatre, Native Earth Performing Arts, Necessary Angel Theatre, Nightwood Theatre, Obsidian Theatre, Red Sky Performance, Soulpepper Theatre Company, Tarragon Theatre, The Theatre Centre, Theatre Passe Muraille, Theatre Smith-Gilmour, and Volcano Theatre.
There are also many opportunities to see and create work through the Toronto Fringe Theatre Festival, SummerWorks Theatre Festival, and Rhubarb Theatre Festival, to name just a few. And of course, there is also the Toronto International Film Festival, and many many more film festivals throughout the year..
6. Our Facilities & Resources…
The Keele Campus at York University has a large complex dedicated to Fine Arts, something that downtown campuses can't compete with. Our large, dedicated seminar rooms, classrooms and studios give students the opportunity to explore in safety and comfort. The Sandra Faire and Ivan Fecan Theatre in the Accolade East Building offers students an opportunity to work on a full-scale proscenium stage. With the black-box Joseph G. Green Studio Theatre, the Atkinson studio theatre and the Robert & Julia Foster Acting Studio, crews, designers, technicians, stage managers, directors and actors experience the full variety of environments they are likely to encounter in the profession. Seven studio spaces house our class work and unmounted productions. Our full-scale lighting lab and our scale LightBox lighting environment allows for exploration of lighting technique outside of the theatre. With access to great carpentry, paint, dye, costume and prop shops, crews have the tools and space they need to work and learn. And with one of the largest collections of films, videos and DVDs in the country, York's Sound & Moving Images Library (SMIL) is an invaluable resource for all theatre students.
7. Our Support for Students…
The Department of Theatre is strongly committed to providing the necessary support for our students. On the undergraduate level, our faculty and staff are here to support and advise you through the process of financial aid and course selection. For graduate students, we have range of generous admission scholarships, and continuing student awards and assistance. Our Graduate Assistants and Teaching Assistants are the best paid in the country. In addition, York University's Counselling & Disability Services provide a professional and supportive environment in which all York students have equitable access to a range of services that assist in facilitating their academic success.
8. Our Great City...
With Toronto's diversity, its vibrant neighbourhoods, its effective transit system, there's a lot to be said about the city:
- Toronto is home to more than 100 cultures
- Toronto is Canada's largest city, with a population of 4.7 million
- Toronto is the 5th-largest city in North America, after Mexico City, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago
- One-quarter of Canada's population is located within 160 km (100 mi.) of Toronto
9. Our Theatre@York Season...
Each year we present productions showcasing the talents of students in our undergraduate and graduate programs. Along with our annual student-run One Act Play festival playGround, recent productions include: The Provok'd Wife, Hippolytos, Restoration, Ti-Jean and His Brothers, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, The Witch of Edmonton, CoEd, Marat/Sade, The Bewitched, Fire Raisers, The Bundle, Metamorphoses, The Clown Show, Rhinoceros, The Great Gatsby, Les Belles Soeurs, The Grapes of Wrath, Not Wanted on the Voyage, Love's Labours Lost, Three Birds Alighting on a Field, Galileo, The Comedy of Vanity, The Master and Margarita, Uncle Vanya, The Idiots Karamatsov, The Three Sisters, Shakuntala, Big Love, and The Comedy of Errors.
10. Most Importantly, Our Students…
Undergraduate students: The 140 students we start with are the most passionate theatre makers we can find from our exhaustive search each year. These students then spend first year being exposed to all apsects of theatre before going through the arduous process of selecting which area(s) of specialization that they want to focus on. From there, they study both practice and theory, going deep in all aspects of the theatre. We draw some of the most exciting people in the country together, and through the team work and hard work that the program demands, many find professional partners to work with for the rest of their lives.
Graduate students: By limiting enrolment to a select few each year, we ensure that our students are among the most creative, professional and dedicated in Canada. Student work is of the highest calibre and often goes on to be produced, screened or published outside the university, both before and after graduation.

Lobo Women's Soccer - Final home weekend in the Mountain West
Who: Lobos host Air Force (Friday, 5 p.m.) and Wyoming (Sunday, 11 a.m.)
On The Air: GameTracker, All-Access Viedo Stream
GoLobos.com:LiveStat Links, Game Story, Stats
This weekend, the University of New Mexico will say goodbye to a special group of seniors. Kelli Cornell, Rachel Montoya, Sinead Fleming, Natalie Jenks, Stephanie Rowe, Lauren Irwin, and Jordan Craig will be playing their final home games at the UNM Soccer Complex this weekend. These seven seniors (the eighth, Shelbie Luna, is injured and will be back next year) have seen the program win 45 games in three years, win two regular season conference titles, and one conference tournament title.
This group have been a part of the greatest four-year history in UNM soccer history, and all have contributed, from Cornell, Fleming and Irwin anchoring a defense to a school record five straight shutouts and a scoreless streak for the ages, to incredibly clutch goals, such as Jordan Craig's overtime winner at Texas, or Natalie Jenks' game-winner 19 seconds into the conference tournament championship game last year. There have been tremendous highs, with both Montoya and Rowe scoring both goals in separate 2-0 wins, and there have been hard times, perhaps none more than when the team came together and dedicated the 2011 season to Rachel Montoya's father George.
However, the story of Jordan Craig returning from two redshirt injuries, missing all of last year with a second ACL tear, is the focus of this guest piece from Lobo junior midfielder Brianna Webster.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ by Brianna Webster, special to GoLobos.com
An energetic, playful 3-year-old boy sprints through the airport terminal shouting in delight that he recruited a fellow chaser in his game of tag. Right behind him strides a small, petite Texas girl wearing all-red Lobo gear and a mischievous grin. To the screams of excitement by the boy, UNM soccer player Jordan (Jojo) Craig scoops up little Cristiano and tosses him in the air. As the fidgety toddler squirms to get out of her grip, she says, "You won't be quicker than me for a while!" And she's right.
Craig's speed and finesse with the ball can drive defenders into the ground. Her experience and knowledge of the game equal her talents as a player. Craig's sixth and final season as a Division I student-athlete at the University of New Mexico has landed her in the small percentage of players who utilize their two potential redshirt years.
The 23-year-old with a vibrant, youthful personality has met great adversity during her college years. Her first injury occurred before freshman year even began; she tore the ACL (a major ligament) in her left knee on Day One of preseason, which automatically meant a red-shirt season and a minimum seven-month recovery. This allowed her to focus on other things, such as getting stronger in the weight room and improving on her fitness. "It changes your perspective... You realize this could be your last game so you're going to work for it every single time," Craig says, recalling her transformed attitude toward playing each soccer match.
The next injury arrived in time for her senior year. With a starting position lined up and an exceptional semester of spring training behind her, Craig tore ACL number two in a friendly small-sided soccer game on a sunny July morning. At this point any average athlete would give up on the student-athlete life and say, "There goes my soccer career"--but not her. Craig's attitude inspires. "I want to play and finish it out. I don't want to end on the sidelines, even if I'm not 100 percent next year," she said. "You can never go back to soccer. This is your last opportunity to play. You can put your life on hold for a year."
Craig took two heartbreaking injuries and turned them into lessons. Patience and perseverance can reap large rewards. This attitude has helped her to accomplish a lot. Next up after Craig's final season of Division I soccer? Physical therapy school. And her history with injuries should assist her to find common ground with her future patients.

Tucked just off of Hwy 17 between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie, Thessalon offers the North Shore's best view of the world's fourth-largest lake.
Lie out on one of our sand beaches or put a chair on the marina dock at sunset to watch the sky as it changes into night. Or, take a walk and meet people strolling along the Thessalon River, which runs from the lake right through the centre of this charming little town.
Campers are welcome at our Lakeside Park Campground, located right across the road from the beach. Our motel has been named as one of the top 500 best places to eat in Canada and we have two great bed and breakfasts. After you are settled in, perhaps you would enjoy a round at our local nine-hole golf course.
Situated at the point where Hwy 17 and Hwy 129 intersect, the Thessalon area is an excellent base camp for some of the best canoeing, fishing and hunting in Canada. For arts-lovers we have many creative small businesses and artists in the area who are ready to share their talents and ideas with you. Indeed, we are proud of our town, a true gateway to the North.

Ancient Markings in Jerusalem Uncovered.
Wasn't sure where to post this, but I thought everyone here would like to take a look at this news report. http://news.yahoo.com/experts-stumped-ancient-jerusalem-markings-071348189.html
Mysterious stone carvings made thousands of years ago and recently uncovered in an excavation underneath Jerusalem have archaeologists stumped. Israeli diggers who uncovered a complex of rooms carved into the bedrock in the oldest section of the city recently found the markings: Three "V'' shapes cut next to each other into the limestone floor of one of the rooms, about 2 inches (5 centimeters) deep and 20 inches (50 centimeters) long. There were no finds to offer any clues pointing to the identity of who made them or what purpose they served.
The archaeologists in charge of the dig know so little that they have been unable even to posit a theory about their nature, said Eli Shukron, one of the two directors of the dig.
"The markings are very strange, and very intriguing. I've never seen anything like them," Shukron said.
Maybe you guys have theories on this; I'd like to hear them if so.
duh. those three "V shapes" are arrows to direct the crowds. "bring your lamb right this way, sir! the barbecue will begin shortly. god gets the fat and shitty organs, the priests get the meat, and you get to go home and raise us another one by this time next year. only prime grade, if you please, sir! right this way! get away from me, kid, you bother me..."
"I asked my father,
I said, 'Father change my name.'
The one I'm using now it's covered up
with fear and filth and cowardice and shame."
--Leonard Cohen

With the SPL in a two-week break, all the talk centres on how the game can make a positive step forward and after much discussion between all interested parties, a format of two top leagues of 12, which split into three leagues of eight after 22 games, is on the cards.
It seems to me that if there's a way of making an easy game of football much more complex, we'll find it.
SFL chief executive David Longmuir has described the on-going talks on league reconstruction as being very positive. Following the collapse of Rangers in the summer and a rulebook that had no provision to deal with such a scenario, their eventual placement in the bottom tier of Scottish football resulted in relationships between SPL & SFL clubs being extremely fragile.
Initially, the SFL wanted a top league of 16 with a league of 10 and another league of 16 below that. A fairer distribution of wealth was their driving force with play-offs also top of their agenda.
But apart from Rangers, the biggest and most powerful clubs are obviously in the SPL and their chief executive Neil Doncaster immediately described the idea of a top league of 16 as "unworkable".
This new proposal of 12-12-18 is gathering favour and here's how it would work.
The top two divisions would split after two rounds of fixtures, 22 games, with teams meeting home and away. The top eight then play a further round of fixtures home and away giving a total of 36 games. These teams would be playing for the title and European places.
The bottom four of the initial 12 would play against the top four of the lower division of 12 and these eight clubs would also play another round of games home and away with the top four staying in the initial 12 for the following season and the bottom four being relegated.
The bottom eight in the lower 12 would also play off against one another for relegation places.
Confused? I'm not surprised.
Switzerland and Austria tried the same experiment in their top division for seven years before going back to a 12-10 set up.
All of this of course has been on the back of a recent report from the SFA by former First Minister Henry McLeish who took a year to examine in detail the set-up, finances and best way forward for our game in the immediate to short term.
The SFA are an easy target for criticism but in giving him a free reign to say exactly what he thought, the former East Fife player didn't hold back.
With no hidden agenda and no allegiance to any side, McLeish proposed going back to a top league of 10, playing each other home and away twice for a total of 36 games with one relegation place as well as the second bottom being involved in promotion/relegation play-offs.
He also suggested every club should be under one body, something almost everyone agrees with. Having an SFA, SPL and SFL means self-interest is the driving force in every league.
But surely we can come up with something better than two top leagues of 12 splitting into three groups of eight?
