Statement by Cecily McMillan
March 21, 2012
I am going to make a brief statement about the events of Saturday night in Zuccotti Park. Since I have an open case, I can't discuss specifics about the facts surrounding my arrest or my treatment in police custody. However, I have every intention of fighting the charges against me. I am innocent of any wrongdoing, and confident I will be vindicated.
Most importantly, I want to reiterate my long-standing personal commitment to non-violence, and non-violent forms of civil disobedience. When police are ordered to move on us, it is easy to become scared, and to react fearfully. We need to rise above the tactics of some police: if we become violent, we are no better than them.
It doesn't need to be this way. In Madison, Wisconsin, a year ago, when we were protesting the governor's attacks on unions, many of the police worked with us to help keep these protests peaceful. Going forward, I hope we can similarly work with local law enforcement officials in New York City, and that they receive training in de-escalation and the use of less violent tactics. And we as a movement also need to adhere to non-violent forms of protest.
I believe our movement will endure – but we can only thrive if we have the sympathy and support of the public.

What Causes Female Dogs to Hump Things?by Naomi Millburn
Picture the scenario: you're ready to serve Sunday night dinner to your brand new neighbors from down the way and your beloved pooch begins humping your leg -- seriously awkward. Although definitely a cringe-inducing situation, mounting behaviors are par for the course for dogs of both genders -- no biggie.
A reproductively capable female dog may hump on random things -- from your arm to a table leg -- as a means of coping with sexual urges, especially if she's in the middle of her "estrus" or heat cycle. If a dog is engaging in mounting behaviors, she may be expressing that she's ready to mate -- now. Other indications of "heat" in female dogs are bloody or clear vaginal discharge, high tail wagging and a swollen vulva. Getting your dog spayed may eliminate her hormonally charged mounting behaviors, as heat cycles cease in fixed animals.
Expression of Emotion
A female dog may not only hump items as a way to indicate sexuality, but also as a simple expression of emotion. A dog may hump on things when she's feeling uncertain, confused, frustrated or nervous as a compulsive pattern similar to obsessive licking or barking. She also may hump things when she's feeling overly excited and enthusiastic about something, whether it's your long-awaited return home after a major business trip or the presence of a lot of new and unfamiliar faces -- hello, sensory overload!
Your sweet doggie may also hump things as a way of inviting play. Perhaps she's feeling extra energetic and playful and wants to get your undivided attention by mounting your leg. She also may do the same to other pets in your household, whether to cats or fellow dogs. These mounting actions are especially prevalent in canines who lack interactive social experience with their peers.
Display of Dominance
Humping on things may also be a declaration of dominance. If you see your dog humping on anything -- whether someone's limb or another pet -- she may be doing so as a way of indicating her power over it. She may be communicating that the other party is her subordinate, and that she is the one in charge -- yikes.

Shipping Cattle
We've spent the past week shipping cattle. Most of the cattle we shipped were calves we'd weaned off our our fall cows in August, and few were weaned off of some cows we had bought from other ranches.
We begin by gathering the cattle early in the morning, usually around daylight.
Monday morning we were met with a minor thunderstorm, which made gathering the cattle a little more interesting.
And wet. When it comes to shipping cattle, though, cancelling at the last minute isn't an option, as there are usually a good number of cattle trucks that have already made arrangements to be there.
Shipping cattle, to us, means selling cattle. The best way to get a fair weight on the cattle is to gather them in the morning before they fill up on a big grassy breakfast or lots of water. It's the same reason I weigh myself in the early morning BEFORE I've eaten the entire pan of cinnamon rolls. It's just good business practice.
When we gather the cattle, we try to handle them as easily as possible. If we don't, they'll run around and poop excessively, which means they'll weigh less when they finally get to the pens, which means our check will also weigh less.
I'm sorry I said poop.
We like to weigh them as soon as we get them to the pens, knowing that the more they poop, the less they'll weigh.
I'm sorry I said poop again.
When we get back to the pens, the cattle buyer and trucks are usually waiting for us.
First, Marlboro Man consults with the cattle buyer (in the bright blue jacket) about what kinds of cattle he'd like us to sort out.
Then Marlboro Man goes to the scale house to weigh the cattle.
After the cattle are weighed, the cattle buyer watches them and, with the help of Cowboy Tim, sorts off any he doesn't want. In all, he only sorted off about six head that day.
Cowboy Tim takes them on down the alley to load them on the truck.
Each cattle truck can hold up to 50,000 pounds.
The larger the cattle, the fewer head you can load.
That day, we wound up loading about 70 head per truck.
The cattle aren't going to slaughter. They're going to a feedyard in west Texas. (Incidentally, later this fall I'll be doing a series of posts on the entire life cycle of cattle and will provide photos of the the feed yards with whom we work. It's not Hollywood Boulevard or anything, but you may find it interesting.)
It was a soggy, wet morning. It made for a lot of bad hair days. Poor horse. It's tough being naturally curly.
And on another subject, it's becoming increasingly clear to me that my poor baby is going to require the use of a belt the rest of his life.
Poor punk.
He has no bottom.
He's also unable to walk.

We may have had different experiences, but I gotta disagree with Sandy's statement:
"However, I would like to point out the cattle in a feed yard smell way better than cows on a dairy farm….way better."

Girl, you don't get over to Central and Eastern Oregon much do you? Herds, ranches, and Californians everywhere!!!
Hulda On Thursday, October 11 at 4:29 pm
Gah, you always have so many comments that I can't read through them all to see if anyone has already asked this, but here goes, sorry if I'm repeating something someone has already written.
Is that a little dude on a surfboard on the horse's flank in picture number 4? (is 'flank' the right word? sorry, I'm not good with farm vocab).
Love the pics!
Ruth On Thursday, October 11 at 4:34 pm
Having worked in the Boy's and young childen's Department of Sears for many of my formative years, 3T and 4T etc. clothing is short in the legs and room for the diapers. They can gradiuate to reg 3/4's when they're potty trained.,. They can't reqular coveralls at this tme because when they are that age when they need to go they need to go NOW. What about suspenders hehe? Elastic backs are good too but these lil fellas are squirmers and they just plum squirm outta their pants. Looks like the oversized boots and wet ground contributed to poor lil punks slip problems too. It's tough being a lil punk who wants to be among the BIG Punks!
Sarah On Thursday, October 11 at 4:42 pm
So. . .what was wrong with those 6 cows? (It didn't include the scary looking cow, did it?)
ORKMommy On Thursday, October 11 at 4:42 pm
I just found your blog and have to say I LOVE IT!! We have a dairy farm but I've always been fascinated with the beef side of the cattle business. I also understand your love of your "cowboy"! I look forward to your future posts.
p.s. Your photography is awesome!
Claudia On Thursday, October 11 at 4:43 pm
My oldest boy punk is now in his mid 20's and has always had the same problem that your youngest does. During a recent visit he was digging for something in a low cabinet and his youngest punk brother made a comment about the view we had. His reply was that he had a medical condition and shouldn't be made fun of. "A medical condition?!" "Yup – Noassatall"
kd On Thursday, October 11 at 4:47 pm
So….did HELEN ship out today? Poor thing! She haunts my dreams!
Windy On Thursday, October 11 at 4:48 pm
Hulda, you are just going to have to go back and read the comments. Cowboy Tim's daughter wrote and said that is their brand and explained what it is.
Besides, comments are half the fun of the blog!
Kris On Thursday, October 11 at 4:52 pm
Brings back memories. We used to always get of school the day we sold cattle. Some years the cattle buyer would come to the ranch, others we went to the sale barn. That was exciting!! My grandpa was a cattle buyer and he'd let me sit with him and all the other cattle buyers. The smell of manure and cigars still brings back memories of my grandpa! :>)
And we buy Wrangler slims around here, but they still need belts. But I don't think I could get my Punkin out of the house without his belt these days. Wants to be like the big guys!
Jennifer On Thursday, October 11 at 4:52 pm
Are those Spongebob Squarepants Boxer Briefs? My son has some exactly like those!
~Madelyn On Thursday, October 11 at 4:53 pm
Thanks for explaining, Ree. This is stuff we'd never learn otherwise in the city. And who better to ask than someone who had to learn it all firsthand herself?
~Mad in Alabama
…and I'm sorry I said POOP earlier…and now!
Just Chris On Thursday, October 11 at 4:54 pm
To Lizinsummer:
Do you have pierced ears? That's about how much the calf bawls when it's branded, but don't forget they are also being vaccinated, castrated (if need be), and sometimes ear tagged.
And I've never seen one turn around and ask, "Does this brand make my butt look bigger?" Their momma's are always right there ready to kiss 'em (lick) & make it all better, plus give them a snack.
E in AZ On Thursday, October 11 at 5:29 pm
Hey Ree,
You got a mention on the Celebrity Baby Blog today!
You're everywhere!!!
Shawn On Thursday, October 11 at 5:40 pm
Reminds me of the few times I had to help my uncle and cousins. Fond memories that I cherish but do not want to redo.
Good writing, even if you say poop.
Heidi On Thursday, October 11 at 5:41 pm
Enjoyable read as always–thanks!
Pamela On Thursday, October 11 at 5:48 pm
Y chromosome = buttless wonder. I am guessing that your punk will start wearing a belt when he figues out that mom is posting his undies on the net! Keep it up – your punks are cuties.
wkf On Thursday, October 11 at 5:50 pm
They make adjustable waist levi's for boys and girls.I Have a 3 y/o daughter with an 18 month waist. They probably have adjustable waist Rustler's too..
The poor punk pictures made me laugh. Sorry.
Ariana On Thursday, October 11 at 5:55 pm
I love these pictures, Ree. Of course I love all your pictures.
I'm very interested in seeing the entire life cycle of cattle. I lived on a ranch for a few years starting when I was 11 and LOVED it. All these pictures bring back memories I think it's so good for kids to be raised in that type of environment. Too bad mine won't
Helen G. On Thursday, October 11 at 5:56 pm
Okay, Ree… I'm going to open up a whole new "arena" for questions, but doesn't MM have an old piggin' string or even a bungee cord in his pickup? I have used a bungee myself in an emergency… like my older jeans that fit tight when I put them on in the morning and then after doing yard work or whatever they stretch and at my age I don't look very good with the saggy drawers over the butt look..everything else is kinda saggy anyhow and I don't want my jeans to exaggerate that… By the way, I crack up when you say butt, because I remember your Grandma Helen fussing about it… she would always correct your aunts and me to say "bottom".. Love the pics of your little guy grinning when he got picked up.. Thanks.
Nin On Thursday, October 11 at 6:13 pm
Awww! So what happens to the six he didn't want? And why didn't he want them?
rdennis On Thursday, October 11 at 6:18 pm

Cynthia On Thursday, October 11 at 6:48 pm
Rachel in Texas On Thursday, October 11 at 7:37 pm
Where we live in West Texas has more cattle in feedyards than people in houses!
Do you need a place to stay???
You'd feel right at home, punks and all! We even have a neighbor with a feedyard!
Sarah On Thursday, October 11 at 7:47 pm
Sorry this may have already been asked, but why wouldn't you weigh the cattle after they have eaten if you want them to weigh more?
meg On Thursday, October 11 at 8:00 pm
Did you send your girls to boarding school? Just wondering..
Len On Thursday, October 11 at 8:42 pm
This is such interesting insight learning how you all ship the cattle. Now can we have some more on the love story?
Brenda On Thursday, October 11 at 8:51 pm
Thanks Ree for educating others as to the work cattle producers, as well as others involved in the food-animal industry do. People don't like to think the cute cow will someday be hamburger, but that is the reality. That is why these animals are raised.
Overall, food-animal producers in this country do an excellent job insuring that the animals are comfortable, well fed, and have a good quality of life while alive. Your site does a great job showing this!
I look forward to reading your entire lifetime of cattle explanation. This country needs to learn about it!
Barbara On Thursday, October 11 at 10:38 pm
As much as I LOVE your photographs, apparently I wasn't paying enough attention at first while checking out today's post. In the fourth picture, because of its light color, I didn't notice the horse in the background right away, and it looked like the cowboy was levitating. I had a good laugh at my own expense.
Thanks for another great post – I find this is all fascinating.
Minnesota Girl On Thursday, October 11 at 10:42 pm
My little punk thinks it's great that those underwear are just like his! Power Ranger Boxer Briefs…nothing cuter on a little no-butt buddy.
Susie On Thursday, October 11 at 10:46 pm
My daughter (age 12) says he has the look that all the boys are going for these days… The ones I want to go up behind and give a little tug. I mean, after all, if they want to show the world their butts, they might as well do it right. My daughter tells me I am sick and wrong for saying that.
Windy On Thursday, October 11 at 10:56 pm
Susie, I had all I could do one day when I was in line at the checkout counter at the grocery store not to tug down on the
jeans of the boy ahead of me – they were hanging half way down his butt. This kid was at least 19 or 20.
Laura On Thursday, October 11 at 11:04 pm
Now, it would have been fun to be riding with these cowboys as they were rounding up the cattle.
It is often easier to round up cattle early in the a.m. before they begin eating and going for water. It is also easier to haul cattle that aren't full as they don't have so much waste to eliminate in the trucks as they are being hauled. Also, our cattle pastures are anywhere from 30 miles to 150 miles away, so most often when we haul cattle it is both the cows and calves to pasture. Not every time you see cattle in a truck are they going to market. Many cows are hauled to pasture in the spring and brought back home in the fall.
Often times when we sort off calves we are sorting of the smaller ones and they are taken to a sale barn where someone buys them to put on grass or sold to fatten for sale later. Cattle buyers often like the calves to be close to the same size.
Keep the pictures and stories coming, Ree.
momto3cubs On Thursday, October 11 at 11:09 pm
Hooray for payday!
I'd think I'd fill them up with water. Hmm, which weighs more, water or poop?
At your baby's age, my guys only wore elastic waist pants (cotton pants or track pants, and some jeans are elastic waist also). Or maybe you could find a boy's belt that clicks open and closed easily.
I wanted to tickle his tummy, LOL.
Lisa L. from Texas On Thursday, October 11 at 11:55 pm
Please, please, please bring us "black heels and tractor wheels"…I am in serious withdrawal…I need rehab withdrawal…

Good Morning to Y'all over there, greetings from Sweden.
Ree, I just love your pictures and their bylines. makes me laugh everytime.
Vickie On Friday, October 12 at 2:02 am
I thought you'd tell us that you like to weigh yourself in the morning before you eat and after you…., well, you get the picture. That's another good business practice for ya!
Cyn On Friday, October 12 at 6:12 am
Who knew there was such a delicate balance between poop and profit?
Lennye On Friday, October 12 at 7:08 am
Love the shipping photos. Boy does that bring back memories.
~~Kath~~ On Friday, October 12 at 7:25 am
I recently saw feedyards in west Texas – I was shocked at the sheer amount of cows! There were feedyards for miles and miles along I-10. Very interesting.
Abbie On Friday, October 12 at 7:49 am
Found your site from Souther Hospitality who raved about your pasta and shrimp sauce.
I cannot tell you how pleased I am to be able to read about a real farm. I'll have to find time to curl up on my sofa, with a cup of coffee and my computer on my lap to stalk all you archives!
lol I digress….
lemme find out you have a lil gangsta on your hands!
j/k (if you didn't find that funny)
But haven't you heard…since you left the city, that's the new style! (pants with no belts)
bigdiggy On Friday, October 12 at 8:06 am
Miles and miles of feedyards/lots with thousands of animals crammed together–here's where environmental hazards, E.coli potential (poop from hides getting into the meat that's processed), and cruelty issues arise. At least in the really large ones.
I'm fervently and sincerely hoping that PW is going to show us that their family sells to smaller, less crowded feedlots that don't pollute and don't use ground-up meat byproducts in their feed. That would do my heart good, and it would show that there are alternatives, and that the profit motive doesn't always have to outweigh larger moral concerns.
nycgirl On Friday, October 12 at 8:32 am
I found your site a few days back and I am addicted. I live in NYC, went to school in East TX for a year and a half about 10 yrs ago. Your blog seriously makes me miss TX. I never thought I would say that! Can I come live in your ranch?
fidget On Friday, October 12 at 8:37 am
Your son is built like my oldest punk. We tend to say that she has no butt, just hinges.
fidget On Friday, October 12 at 8:40 am
good golly bigdiggy, give 'er a rest. I'm surprise Ree hasn't blocked your IP for being excessively obnoxious.
Do you go to the book store and slip fliers about STDs into all the romance novels?
The Other Julie On Friday, October 12 at 9:22 am
My four year old boy is the same way. No butt. He is still wearing 3t pants, but those STILL fall off of him. Nothing like meeting some new moms for the first time at a playground and looking over to see a Bob the Builder clad butt up in the air. *Sigh*
ME On Friday, October 12 at 9:23 am
Readers have oohed and awed over MM's muscles and Josh's cute butt and I can't argue with them but one look at Cowboy Tim on his horse and you know he is the real deal. Watching him work I imagine is like poetry in motion. He's there to do a job and he does it without an ounce of extra motion.
KK On Friday, October 12 at 9:46 am
Get that punk a FUBU shirt and some basketball shoes and he'll fit in Atlanta very well!
Sandy On Friday, October 12 at 9:49 am
Hey, fidget, that was funny! Thanks.
NonnieM On Friday, October 12 at 8:56 pm
Whether the feedlot is large or small, you're going to find manure. The actual space per cow probably doesn't significantly differ from lot to lot in that area, so I wouldn't be concerned where MM and family are sending their cows. Any good farmer/rancher/hersdman/feedlot manager is going to want to do the best job possible to raise quality animals. To do any differently would be shooting themselves in the foot.
And BTW, it is illegal to use feed made with animal by-products in the US, so no worries there, either.
bigdiggy On Saturday, October 13 at 8:23 am
If it's illegal, that has only happened in the last few years because of the efforts of people who want to make things better. I'm just sayin'.
Suebob On Saturday, October 13 at 9:51 am
Poor little buttless baby!
LizzieBee On Thursday, October 25 at 5:35 am
Howdy! New to commenting on your brilliant blog (although I've been following your cooking for a few months now)
We had to sell all our cattle earlier in the year (due to a bushfire that came out and burnt 95% of the property – the farm is in Western Australia) and MAN. I would have LOVED some horses then. We had them all in one paddock (the only one left with any feed, which they ate all of within a week, so they got fed on hay – extremely pricey due to the drought down here = nightmare situation) so we herded them all with a tractor with a hay bale on the back, and then – on foot – rounded them all ON FOOT. I no longer, after two separate occasions of selling cattle, have any wearable sneakers. They're pretty goddamn dirty, and will be good for gardening. That's about it.
My point of commenting was that we, too, were up early to get the heifers on the cattle truck that came to get them to the sale yards. They went off on the truck the day that they were in the yards to be sold. Here, when they're sold on (not to meat – all of our cattle went on to another property to be raised a bit more) they're done by price per head, and it's all to do with condition at the moment. It's better if they're shipped to the yard on the day totally, because they're not held in the yards overnight.
It's wonderful to be reading your blog. I'm looking forward to my own CityGirlGoneCountry adventure later this year! (We're moving from a big city to a small country town!)
Cheers! LizzieBee

Our warriors tank
Our paladins heal
Our druids heal
Our priests DPS
Our rogues DPS
Our hunters DPS
Our warlocks DPS
Our mages DPS
Our shamans heal
As Pally Sucks says, priests DPS? While all the paladins heal? Nidhogg says the "utility + DPS" of shadow priests is something they can't pass up, so their priests are in shadowform (with one holy for spirit). In addition, he says all the paladins are specced for healing not because they're forced to, just because they like it. And they put 20 points in Protection, Nid says, because he likes having them for PvP.
So what does it mean for class balance when you've got the hybrid healing instead of the main healing class in one of the most advanced guilds in the game? Sure, Paladins can do DPS, but when it comes down to it, a raid who knows what they're doing makes them healbots, and asks priests to all go in shadowform.

This is a clip taken from one of those 9o's movies staring Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. The title of the clip, "Adorably Racist," has it's pros and cons. On one hand, it is a very good title in that it gives you the perfect level of warning for what is going to happen. On the other hand, it preempts any good joke you want to make. The title and video together are a closed joke system that allows for no additional jokes. Look.
Person 1: Hahaha, that seemed especially silly and racist out of context.
Person 2: Hahaha, yeah, but the title just f*cking told us that. Go to hell.
Thanks, Reddit.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - The Rudy Davalos Basketball Center had a familiar chorus of squeaks and cheers, but they weren't just those of the New Mexico Women's Basketball program. Nearly 100 Native American youths from around Albuquerque took part in a clinic as part of the Notah Begay III Foundation. The youngsters were joined by their "instructors", which were UNM Women's Hoops student-athletes.
"It's really exciting with so many boys and girls from the pueblos and reservations here. It's such a cool experience for these youngsters to be here and enjoy a unique opportunity. Our program is honored to help bring the game of basketball to these special visitors," said Video Coordinator Amy Beggin who oversaw the event.
The day's activities included various shooting, dribbling and defensive stations. Other sections included special viewings of highlight reels in the team's video room. All of which brought a certain level of energy to the building.
"Sometimes I look around and wonder who is having more fun? Our players' smiles are just as big as the kids' smiles," Beggin continued.
The youth clinic is just one of many community service projects Head Coach Yvonne Sanchez and the Lobos are involved in. The program regularly visits UNM Children's Hospital and participates in reading campaigns at local schools among others.

Zizzle to Create Pirates Product Line
Source: Zizzle October 24, 2005
The box-office bonanza that made pirates cool again is back in action with the next installment of the franchise, Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Everyone is back including Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski driving the ship. You will see fantastic action, new spectacular special effects and even more laughs than ever before. To accompany one of the most anticipated films of 2006, Zizzle LLC will deliver the first mass market toy line ever offered behind the Disney franchise, which encompasses the recently announced sequel and the yet to be named final film in the trilogy.
Zizzle, a team of proven toy marketers led by Roger Shiffman has come on the scene and are gaining momentum quickly. The company's first product launch iZ, an animatronic character and iPod(TM) companion has received acclaim throughout the toy business. Included in this year's "Hot Dozen" toys from Toy Wishes Magazine and more, it is being heralded as one of the most exciting things to hit retail shelves in years. Product development for Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" will be equally innovative, and marketing will seek unique, fun ways to drive Pirates at retail.
"The tremendous success of Disney's 'Pirates of the Caribbean' caught retailers by surprise, and the inherent excitement for 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest' combined with our fresh ideas on product development make for a powerful opportunity," said Shiffman. "The play pattern and property are the perfect fit for kids, and we hope to drive the business worldwide to a magnitude that few other major film properties have seen before."
Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" products, which will launch just prior to the movie release will include: action figures, play sets, role play, interactive hand held games, novelty electronics and more. The line will play off the incredible depth of characters, storylines, movie sets/locations and pirate fantasy. Highly detailed action figures will include all of kids' favorite characters, from Captain Jack Sparrow to Will Turner to the new villain character, Davy Jones. Figures and accessories will be launched in multiple sizes/scales and with built-in features from slashing swords to smoking cannons. Kids will be able to take to land or sea with different play sets, including an Ultimate Black Pearl ship measuring nearly three feet long! And, of course, role play toys will allow any child to become "one" with their favorite pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow, using all of his great gear.

Chilaquiles are a staple in my house – great for any meal: breakfast, lunch or dinner. When making them for breakfast, I serve an egg (fried or scrambled) on top; for lunch and dinner I usually add shredded chicken, but that can be left out if you're serving it to a vegetarian. Whenever I go to a potluck dinner or any kind of event where I have to bring a dish, this is my tried and true recipe that always disappears quickly once served and the guests always end up calling me for the recipe the day after. And, ahem… chilaquiles are also known as the quintessential Mexican cure for a hangover.
This past weekend I made my famous chilaquiles verdes for my Salsa Showdown cooking show at the Kenmore Live Studio and they were a huge hit. The video of the show will be available soon, but I've already gotten dozens of requests to post the recipe! A lot of people from the audience came up to me after the show to say that they were impressed with not only the taste of the dish, but also how simple it was to prepare and that they felt confident they could make it at home. That's always my goal here – to teach you recipes and break them down so you feel comfortable making them on your own. I hope you'll try my chilaquiles, and if you do, please leave a comment below to let me know how you liked them!
One of the great things about the salsa verde for my chilaquiles is that it's a very versatile salsa that can also be used for enchiladas as well as a few other dishes. Be sure to check back later this week for my recipe for enchiladas verdes….

|The Montessori Kindergarten Year
|Thursday, 29 November 2012 17:09
"The Montessori Kindergarten Year - A Question for Parents" is a wonderful video that summarizes the benefits of keeping children in Montessori for their kindergarten year. It provides a great overview of how Montessori kindergarten acts as a capstone for Primary students - enabling them to reach their full potential academically in the classroom and empowering them to act as leaders and mentors for the younger children.
The Montessori Kindergarten Year" will be especially helpful for parents of children who are currently enrolled in a Montessori Primary (preschool) program and who are trying to decide what to do about kindergarten. It will also be helpful for parents who are considering enrolling their 3 or 4 year old children in a Montessori school and wonder if they should keep them there for kindergarten as well.
For more information about the Montessori kindergarten year, you can also watch "A Time to Blossom - Montessori for the Kindergarten Year," which offers more detail on many of the same topics.

The Street continues to back away from shares of Baidu, the leading player in the China Internet search market, out of concern that the company is losing market share to new entrant Qihoo 360.
Known mostly as creator of a Web browser widely used in China, Qihoo recently jumped into the search market, and appears to be getting considerable traction. And that has analysts worried. Yesterday, Jefferies analyst Cynthia Meng cut her rating on the stock out of concerns about the loss of revenue due to Qihoo. Today, Raymond James analyst Aaron Kessler brought his rating on Baidu down a notch to Outperform from Strong Buy, with a new target price of $137, down from $165. The stock closed Monday at $112.77.
Kessler writes that the rating reduction reflects "near-term concerns over market share losses to Qihoo 360 and increased uncertainty with estimates." Reflecting his Outperform rating – he's now less bullish, but still optimistic – Kessler writes that that he remains positive longer term on the stock and still thinks that the company is "well-positioned for strong, long-term growth driven by Internet growth in China, increased e-commerce adoption, search advertiser adoption in China and growth from non-search areas."
But near-term there is trouble for Baidu. Kessler notes that data from Hitwise Experian shows Baidu as of mid-September had about 58.3% of the market, down from the low-to-mid 60s before Qihoo entered the market. Google has 6% share, down from 10% pre-Qihoo, while Qihoo itself has 9.2% share.
Reflecting the share losses, Kessler trimmed his EPS estimates for the company.For 2012, he now sees $4.78 a share on a non-GAAP basis, down from $4.87; for 2013, he goes to $6.25, from $6.61.
BIDU this morning is down 7 cents, to $112.70.

Even if an enterprise isn't yet ready to make the transition to cloud computing, there's a good chance its employees have already made the investment. Because the technology allows easy access to files and other common forms of data, it lets professionals have more flexible work lives that often involve remote access. If an IT department doesn't respond to that trend, however, it can pose a potential risk to an organization's network infrastructure.
Unfortunately, many tech professionals working behind the scenes are unaware of the situation and therefore can't take the necessary measures to ensure security. It doesn't help to blame employees for using cloud storage or even company leaders who haven't yet recognized the needs of their subordinates.
Solidifying a relationship
Before the current wave of cloud adoption, it was relatively easy for enterprises to keep their IT departments on the back burner. As long as the in-house system operated the way it was supposed to, that's all that mattered. However, the 21st century added a number of ways for employees to obtain information, from smartphones and tablets to Web-based file sharing. As a result, a schism occurred between IT professionals and the rest of the company, according to Computerworld.
"There's a tug-of-war tension in the enterprise right now," said Gartner Analyst Lydia Leong, as quoted by the source. "IT administrators very rarely voluntarily want to go with the public cloud … The people who are pushing for these services are not IT operations people but business people."
This tension has created an environment that isn't constructive for adapting to current IT trends. Computerworld acknowledged that when Human Resources, Marketing, and other departments pursue cloud investments without sharing those plans across the company, IT personnel can't figure out what information is moving through the environment. This operating model also disables the CIO's ability to knowledgeably form a beneficial service level agreement with a cloud hosting company.
Assessing needs, acting on them
After communication between an IT department and the rest of the enterprise has been established, then can an infrastructure be developed. Andrew Forehlich, a contributor to Network Computing, noted that standardizing each in-house architecture for all corporate branches is consistent with both best practices and common sense. Yet a number of factors often force designers to alter an architecture to meet the needs of an individual location.
That said, cloud computing makes the diversification and customization processes much easier to handle. In the traditional sense, one department may require on-premise WAN optimization tools and another may need tangible intrusion prevention appliances. The cloud lets companies access these accouterments much faster and less expensively. Complex infrastructures consisting of data centers and firewalls are accessible through cloud servers, making it easier for IT personnel to adjust specifications to the specific needs of employees or departments in a more fluid manner.
Most important, the technology ensures CIOs and their teams can maintain better IT infrastructure oversight, no matter how distributed the infrastructure may be. Once those professionals are able to conduct regular assessments, they can gather a more in-depth understanding of a corporation's cloud usage.
"Cost and branch user requirements often superseded homogeneity, and you ended up with branch office infrastructures that were dramatically different from one another" wrote Forehlich. "But thanks to the new era of cloud computing, many of these differences soon will be offloaded and masked inside the cloud."
Working together
Before businesses can capitalize on these benefits, however, it's important to promote an environment of transparency. Only when employees and IT departments create a platform and processes that allow them to work cohesively will companies realize the advantages of investing in the cloud.

I just went through some old hard drives and found some old school stuff. I found a paper I wrote on the development of empathy through childhood for my Child Psychology class years ago. Empathy plays a role in mental well-being and social interaction, so I figured it'd be acceptable to post it here. Hopefully someone finds it interesting. Sorry if it's boring. I wrote it probably 3 years ago.
Development of Empathy and Perspective Taking Through Toddlerhood and Early Childhood.
Before you judge someone, the old saying goes, walk a mile in their shoes. This is, in a way, a prime example of empathy and the term that is often confused with it perspective taking. The ability to walk a mile in [someone elses] shoes, per say, is a very crucial part of moral development and plays numerous and important roles in the development of social ties and relationships later in life, as well as relationships with peers in childhood.
But, really, what is empathy? Generally, it is regarded as the ability to feel and understand the emotions of others, however, it goes much deeper than that. Empathy plays a major role in maintaining friendships and relationships because it effects your ability to interact with others. If you cant really feel others emotions how can you be sensitive to it? If, say, you want something someone else has, and you cannot understand or anticipate that they will be sad, upset, hurt, or angry what keeps you from taking what you want? This is just one small example, of course, but it demonstrates the mindset of someone who did not, or has not yet, developed empathy.
One related behavior, perspective taking, is often confused with empathy. While empathy is the ability to feel others emotions, perspective taking is the cognitive ability to see something from someone elses perspective to look at it from a viewpoint that may differ from your own. This is more complex, as it requires the ability to recognize the differences in your perspective compared to others. Empathy and perspective taking overlap, in a way. Often times, the lack of either empathy or the ability to see from someone elses perspective produces similar behavior such as in the previously mentioned example. A young child may think that taking the other persons belonging would be okay because he or she would be happy, so everyone else must share the same perspective as him. In other words, the child believes that if he is happy, everyone else is also happy.
Many recognized medical and psychological disorders have been noted to cause stunted moral development, especially in regards to empathy and perspective taking. One of the more well-known of these is Autism and disorders in the Autism spectrum, such as Aspergers Syndrome. While the cause of Autism and related conditions are unknown, there are quite a few theories some with scientific merit, many without. What we do know, however, is that one of the more obvious symptoms is the lack of empathy and ability to see from the perspective of others. This brings up the nature vs. nurture debate is empathy more of a learned behavior, or is it based in genetics? The more likely answer is both, though recently there has been mounting evidence that genetics plays a larger role in empathy development that previously believed. Still, there is no definitive answer and there may never be a resolution to the nature vs. nurture conflict in regards to empathy development.
Martin L. Hoffman, a leading researcher of the development of empathy, broke empathy down into four different levels. The first one is Global Empathy and is seen primarily in infants. It is characterized by experiencing the observed emotion or distress of others as if it was yours, such as a baby laughing or crying when others laugh or cry. One cannot be sure, however, if this is actual the feeling of the emotion or distress, or mimicry that possibly contributes to the development of empathy. We know now that humans, especially infants, very much follow the monkey see, monkey do mantra and mirror actions of others.
The second level noted by Hoffman is called Egocentric Empathy, which is described as a type of empathy in which you respond to the distress of others as you would if it was your own, such as a child giving another a toy or blanket that makes themselves feel happier when they are sad or upset. The next level is generally what people unanimously recognize as stereotypical empathy the ability to empathize with others emotions or feelings and to anticipate ways to interact with the person and help them fix the problem, or suggest ways to do so. The fourth and final level is described as empathy for anothers life conditions. This is where perspective taking also becomes more evident.
In Toddlerhood, the perceived lack of empathy and ability to take perspective into account is often considered selfishness or as inconsiderate behavior this, however, is certainly not the case. A toddler (12 36 months of age) is indeed capable of empathy, though it is more rudimentary than that of an older child. Empathy in toddlers is within the levels of Global Empathy and Egocentric empathy as described by Hoffman. Global empathy is predominant in very early to middle toddlerhood, but toddlers usually begin to develop Egocentric Empathy not long after entering toddlerhood. V. Quann and C. Wien wrote of their empathy observation of toddlers,
Many children in this classroom attempt to show care for their upset peers by bringing them ice. Perhaps the children remember that when they were hurt, the teachers brought them ice and then they felt better. Once, a child brought another child ice when he was crying due to morning separation from his parent. The upset child accepted the ice and, very soon after, stopped crying. In this environment, it was as if ice represents a gift of caring, of compassion: to be offered ice is to be healed.(Quann & Wien, 2006)
This gives a good illustration of early egocentric empathy; one child attempts to comfort another (though not understanding the reason for his anxiety and distress) by giving him ice which previously provided comfort to other children when they skinned a knee or fell down and were upset.
The second group I plan to discuss is the age group 3 to 5 years. This is when empathy for the feelings of others begins to truly take shape and helps foster better peer relations. Empathy in this age groups was much easier to observe and could be seen in a wide variety of actions by the children. Some were the stereotypical empathy response for instance, a boy was climbing on something he should not have been and fell. As soon as he burst into tears, all of the childrens heads swiveled to see what was the reason of the loud cry. They did not ask; they knew why he was upset he fell and it hurt. Some of them, especially the older of the group, worse a frown and a concerned look, stopping immediately whatever they had been doing to rush over to comfort him. Later, as he was sitting with an ice pack, children came and went from where he sat, stopping to say a few comforting words.
At the same time, the lack of developed empathy for the feelings of others in the youngest of the group became glaringly obvious compared to his older peers. He simply took toys he wanted, even if others were playing with them. When he was forced to give the toy(s) back to others, he got angry and began throwing things or destroying other childrens block towers. He could not yet understand that others wanted the toy as much as he did and did not understand how it would make them feel when their toy was taken away.
Perspective taking is not yet evident in full yet, but there was much evidence of understanding the needs and wants of others in the older children. For instance, I witnessed a girl sorting through a stack of puzzles. Another girl came up behind her, waiting to get a puzzle, which the first girl noticed and promptly handed the other girl a puzzle from the stack.
Humans are social creatures we require interaction with others to develop needed skills, as well as to form attachment to others. Empathy plays a key role in communication and forming strong bonds of love, friendship and attachment throughout life. Who would have ever thought that the acquisition of the (metaphorical) ability to walk a mile in someone elses shoes would be such a crucial part of childhood development?

What is urination pain?
Urination is the elimination of urine from the body and is normally a painless process. When urination occurs with pain, burning, pressure, or other types of discomfort, it is generally a symptom of an underlying disease or disorder. This can include infection, inflammation, or other conditions of the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra) or reproductive system. Urination pain is also known as dysuria.
Learn More About Urination Pain
Pain with urination can occur in the opening of the urethra, which is the opening where the urine leaves the body, or it can occur anywhere in a woman's genital area, especially the vaginal opening. In both sexes, pain during urination may occur in the lower abdomen, the pelvic area, or flank area of the lower back.
Urination pain can occur in all age groups and populations, and it may or may not occur with additional symptoms, such as cloudy urine, bloody urine, urine color changes, foul-smelling urine, and frequent urination.
In some cases, urination pain can be due to serious or life-threatening underlying diseases, such as pyelonephritis (kidney infection). Seek prompt medical care if you have urination pain. Timely diagnosis and treatment of the underlying cause reduces the risk of serious or life-threatening complications, such as kidney failure and shock.Seek immediate medical care (call 911)
if you have urination pain with severe abdominal or flank pain, or a change in consciousness or alertness.
What other symptoms might occur with urination pain?
Urination pain includes burning, pressure, or other types of discomfort before, during, or just after urination. Urination pain may occur in the urethra (the opening where urine leaves the body) as well as the bladder area in the lower abdomen or pelvis. Pain with urination may also occur in the flank or lower back, or a woman's genital or vaginal area.

Santceloni Restaurant Review: The best of Spanish cuisine is brought to the table at this special restaurant in the center of Madrid. Head chef Oscar Velasco prepares rich, intensely flavored regional specialties with an emphasis on using seasonal ingredients. Try the squid noodle soup with chanterelle mushrooms and egg yolk or the sea bream with smoked green onions, red wine and beet. His unusual meat and fowl dishes are equally as enticing. Desserts that rely heavily on exotic fruit make diners swoon with delight. A long, international wine list is impressive, but sommelier David Robledo places special importance on the fine Spanish wines available here.

I was a little overwhelmed trying to figure out food for our first ski trip, but it turns out Jim Todara, the chef who manages the Wheelhouse Lodge at Windham Mountain Ski Resort created a menu that caters to celiacs! Disney is the only other resort that is making these kind of accommodations for gluten free travelers. They have a few restaurants have joined the Gluten Free Restaurant Awareness Program (GFRAP.)
Two restaurants are on the mountain...
- The Wheelhouse Mountain Lodge. A mid mountain eatery with a smokehouse flair! The new menu items include many BBQ staples like: smoked brisket, pulled chicken and pulled pork. The items will be available inside or out on the large deck featuring two new grills. Location: Top of D-Lift
- Legends Bar and Grill. A table-service restaurant with soups, salads and entrees during lunchtime hours. On the bar side, enjoy a wide variety of beverages, a bar menu, sports on the TV's and afternoon entertainment. Location: Base Lodge 3rd Floor
One is in town...
- Rock'n Mexican. Creative mexican inspired fare at the Winwood Inn on Main Street.
I look forward to finding out more when our family takes our first ski trip. Here is a little testimonial from the press release announcing Windham Mountain is the Premier Snow Resort to offer Gluten Free Menus...
"CALLING ALL SKIIERS!!! if you have wanted to go skiing but don't want to bring your own food to the mountain, you MUST go to Windham Mountain. They have recently been added to the GFRAP but we have been skiing (and eating GF) at Windham for 5 years. The manager at the Wheelhouse lodge, Jim, has celiacs as well as his daughter so he is extremely knowledgeable. Over the December break, my son had bacon, egg and cheese on a (Joans) bagel in the morning and a philly cheesesteak on a (Joans) roll as well as fries for lunch. Jim always tells us what Jared can/can't have and even lists the gf items of the day on the bulletin board. An added bonus...the food is delicious! Ask for Jim at the Wheelhouse Lodge and have a great time!"

It's all about the format
Traditional Audiobook (Kelly):
I'm a huge fan of these. They come fully set to pop into your car's CD player and play. You don't need to do anything, but you do need to be aware these bad boys can get long (and if you're purchasing them, expensive). The Help, for example, ran 15 discs long. If you're anything like me, I pull out ALL of the discs of a book at once and put them in the change tray in my car -- 15 of those bad boys sometimes leads to the CDs falling off and under the seat in the car.
On the plus side, they require little to no work to begin listening. On the downside, they aren't super versatile. You need a CD player of some sort to use them, unless you want to copy them onto your computer's hard drive and then save them in your music player of choice.
MP3 Audiobook (Kimberly):
I'm going to be honest and say that I've never actually listened to one of these before, but they've got a lot going for them. I was lucky enough to receive a free (signed) copy of Rick Riordan's newest book, The Red Pyramid, at BEA on mp3 CD. The print book is over 500 pages and the audio runs over fourteen and a half hours, but the entire book fits on ONE mp3 CD.
Obviously, the compact size is a huge pro. There's no need to swap out discs while driving (yikes!) and they take up much less space on the shelf. On the other hand, not all CD players are compatible with the format. Most CD players being manufactured today can play mp3 discs just fine, but both my car CD player (from 2004) and my boom box (from the Jurassic Age) - the two players I use most often - won't play them. If I want to listen to an mp3 CD, I've got to use my computer, which is a pain.
In my experience, this lack of compatibility problem applies to most public library users today. My library is not yet purchasing mp3 CDs, but I have a feeling that's the way the technology is heading (along with downloadables, as described below). Will we see the traditional CD going the way of the cassette tape soon?
Downloadable Audiobook (Kelly):
Many libraries offer a way for users to download audiobooks directly from their database to your home computer (and now, sometimes right onto your portable device). Though I haven't tried this out yet, it's on my list of things to achieve in the next few weeks. . . fitting with the goal of using audiobooks on my ipod for working out.
There are a few vendors for downloadable books, but the two biggest include NetLibrary and Overdrive. Both have their pluses and minuses, so you have to figure out the quirks of your library's system for yourself (or ask the librarian, of course). Don't think you have access to downloadable audio? Think again. Janssen has pointed out that there is a wonderful way to find out if your library has access to Overdrive via this link.
Another downloadable option is LibriVox. I've never used it, but I know people who do. It's run on a volunteer basis, where readers choose to help record all of the books in the public domain. In other words, if you're looking to listen to a classic, try them out. And, if you're so inspired, try your hand at recording a title, too.
Playaway (Kimberly):
The Playaway is such a good idea - an audiobook player that comes pre-loaded with the audiobook. No need to convert any files or go to the trouble of loading the files onto the device. No need to even HAVE a device.
It seems like Playaways are best for people who want a portable audiobook but may not be able to afford their own mp3 player or just don't feel technologically savvy enough to download or transfer files to one. I've read anecdotal evidence that public libraries in poorer communities see more use of the Playaway, but I don't have any numbers to back that up. There are some definite downsides - they can be pricey, require the user to supply their own batteries and headphones, and lack the flexibility of a normal audio player which can hold more than one book at a time.
Which format do you prefer?
7 comments:
Hi Kelly and Kimberly ... I, too, am a fan of CDs -- which I now mostly copy (legally? personal use?) laboriously onto my computer (which means I need another audiobook in the ears for this time-consuming task!) and then upload to my no-name mp3 player. If the library discs are all in good shape, I'm now cued up for listening.ReplyDelete
I've done a few downloads from my library's Overdrive (thanks to a techie friend who solved the issue of the curiously-named Console, which is the software that has to reside on your computer in order to store your downloadables for your check-out period -- are you confused yet?). I've got two complaints about downloadables: Sound quality is often tinny and each "disc" of the audiobook comes as a single track. Woe betide you if you lose your place!
Ladies ... I've not be celebrating Audiobook week very much, but I do appreciate all the great info you've provided here lately!
Lee (Reading with My Ears) Catalano
Portland, Oregon.
Lee, the point about losing your place is great. I think one of the two major providers (either Overdrive or NetLibrary) has changed or is working to change this so the tracks aren't quite so long...but of course I can't remember where I read that!ReplyDelete
LibriVox is a really hit and miss sort of thing. The first couple audios I got there were both by the same woman (and she did the entire book), and she was great. After that, I tried a collection of Sherlock Holmes in which each story was narrated by someone different and some of them were TERRIBLE.ReplyDelete
I have done three things: purchased (or borrowed) CDs, played them in the car; Ripped CDs onto my iPod; downloaded audiobooks from iTunes/Audible. I have to say I like option C best, and option B worst. I was initially worried about option C as I thought it would be like a song, and if I stop it it he middle, it would start it over at the beginning. However, I found out I was wrong; my iPod remembers where I left off which is awesome. Also the Audible files take up SO much less space than the equal number of ripped CDs.ReplyDelete
The ripped CDs are horrible. Every chapter comes over as its own track (and sometimes 2-3 tracks!) of just a few minutes each, and I have to be absolutely sure the file is sorted the way that will make them come up in the correct order (sometimes they come across in the reverse order,or alphabetical which is fun.) Frequently iTunes can't identify the CDs so there are no track names at all.
playing regular CDs in the car was fine, with the usual problems of occasionally getting a CD that skips, keeping track of them all, getting them in and out of the case/sleeve and in the right order. But my biggest complaint with this (which is a bigger problem with nonfiction I think) is that if there's nothing at the end of each disk saying, "this is the end of disk 3. Please insert disk 4.", I would often not notice I'd some to the end, and listen to 10 minutes of the 1st track again before I'd think to myself, "this sounds awfully familiar." Argh. You do that on a 10-disk book, that's 100 minutes of time you've wasted. I am extremely happy with my Audible membership.
Carin, I note in my reviews about the "this is the end of disc 3" thing because it irritates me as a listener when they don't do that. If I'm driving, I can't shuffle around too much; that cue, or in the cases of some books, the music to indicate the end, is SO helpful.ReplyDelete
I haven't done the audible/overdrive thing at all. I really should since it seems like it's easy and would give me more options for listening.
It's interesting reading all your experiences, too. It gives more perspective on preferences (as a reader, as a reviewer, and as a librarian).
So far, I've been using ones that are loaded on CDs, and then simply copying the files over to my iPhone. The problem with this is that I'm borrowing the audiobooks from the library, so I'm theoretically "stealing" the books! I don't want to be doing that, but it seems so far to be the only feasible way for me to listen to them. I've just been making sure to delete the tracks off my computer and phone once I'm done with them.ReplyDelete
Carina: A lot of people do that. As long as you are deleting them when you are done, you shouldn't feel guilty. :)ReplyDelete

Give yourself 15 seconds to move between stations, and rest for 2 minutes after you've completed 1 circuit of all 10 exercises. Then repeat twice. If you can't go the entire minute, rest a few seconds and then resume until your time at that station is up. Use a weight that's challenging for 15 to 20 reps.

In rare instances, says Woolley, the company will draft a so-called "love contract" stipulating that the relationship is consensual, and setting ground rules for the couple's behavior in the workplace. One reason love contracts are rare, he says, is that the necessary negotiations can make for awkward conversations between manager and employees.
Belnavis says he has been recommending love contracts to his clients since 2001.
He calls them useful tools for establishing the ground rules and boundaries for an office romance. If love goes sour and charges of harassment start to fly, they offer some measure of protection for management, who can cite them as proof that the relationship was consensual and that management sat the couple down and explained what standard of behavior was expected of them.
A well-drafted love contract, says Belnavis, might include some or all of the following elements: acknowledgement by the parties that a relationship exists; that it is not based on intimidation; that the employees understand the company's policies on sexual harassment and discrimination; and that they commit to keeping management informed of any changes in their relationship. It might also include a commitment not to engage in retaliation, should the romance end.
"Love contract" is a bit of a misnomer, says Belnavis, noting that nothing is bought or sold. "It's more what I would call a relationship-acknowledgement form."
He emphasizes that the document, while useful, is not a cure for relationships that are wrong by definition—a romance between a manager and an immediate subordinate, say.
How should office lovebirds who are peers comport themselves, to avoid trouble?
Rachel DeAlto, a self-described flirting and communications expert, is author of "Flirt Fearlessly," an A to Z guide to fraternization. Her list of do's and don'ts for office sweethearts, published in The Advertiser of Lake City, Fla., includes the following:
Find out what policy, if any, your office has about workplace romance: If your company forbids it, don't do it. Or, alternatively, resign: If you've found the love of your life, keep your paramour and find a job somewhere else.
If company policy permits romance but requires that you notify HR of your relationship, report it at its earliest stage.
Respect decorum: If romance is permitted, have the good taste not to rub yours in co-workers' faces. "Making out at the Christmas party or causing your colleagues to feel uncomfortable with your public displays of affection," advises DeAlto, "is never cute. Keep all outward shows of affection for outside the office."
Likewise, keep all love-problems at home. Don't allow them to taint your professional life or those of co-workers.

The study of history at Deerfield encourages students to be informed, perceptive, and engaged citizens of the world both during their time at the Academy as well as after they have graduated. Through a variety of courses, the History Department introduces students to the challenges and rewards of studying the past.
In all courses, teachers urge students to become more knowledgeable about the many peoples, cultures, events, controversies, and ideas that have shaped human history. Students gain practical experience as historians by reading a range of sources, participating in discussion-oriented seminar classes, and preparing a variety of analytical and interpretive essays. The Academy's location in the Town of Deerfield, described by one historian as the "best-documented village in America," presents a unique opportunity for research.
The History Department seeks to show students that thinking historically about the world is a source of fascination, wisdom, and joy. In exposing students to the moral and ethical issues that have faced other people in other times, in studying the struggles and triumphs that have marked human history and, in understanding the purposes that have divided people as well as those that have united them, the History Department believes that the study of history is a crucial part of a fulfilling liberal arts education.
Freshmen and sophomores may choose among four courses: Africa and Latin America: Voices of Conquest and Change; Asia in World History; The West, Ancient/Medieval; and The West in the Modern World. Students may also elect to study history both years before they become juniors. All freshmen and sophomore courses stress careful reading and writing and develop the ability to select, evaluate, and organize primary and secondary historical sources. Each of these courses provides a similar foundation in historical skills for further study in the discipline.
In the junior year all students choose among United States History, Honors United States History, or American Studies, an interdisciplinary combination of American history and literature. Each course incorporates research projects and papers into its curriculum.

This article sucks, tell us something we don't know. A degree from michigan is priceless for these kids. Most of these athletes will have absolutely no future without finishing school. The academic advisors should be heralded for pushing these kids through school. The difference they have made in the countless lives of athletes who have graduated from Michigan is immeasurable. They have made a difference. You have not, Jim. You should take a History class at Detroit Community High School and report on the difference between that class and the freshman History class at Michigan. The adjustment these kids need to make is incredible. Without help from academic support group they would have no chance. My hat goes off to the academic support group at Michigan. they do wonderful work and make a difference.
Nobody gives a crap about Brandon Inge. His maturity is killing him. When he grows up and realizes he had an awful year last year at the plate and makes the adjustments necessary he will find a job somewhere. Right now it is possible the Tigers will release him. I am all for it. All glove no love.

Official: Chrysler 300C SRT Diesel Announced
An economical 300C at last
It appears even the Chrysler 300C driving mobster crew are getting all environmentally conscious on us. Why, it's getting a diesel engine.
Let's face it, the American Motor Industry is not exactly renowned for producing the most environmentally friendly motor cars in the world. Gas is cheap stateside, even with recent rises due to oil prices, it still remains comparatively cheap compared to most other developed parts of the world. GM, Ford and Chrysler generally build large petrol powered vehicles for the home markets where 25 mpg is considered quite frugal.
Europe is another kettle of fish. Fuel is quite expensive with both petrol and diesel being priced considerable higher than most other parts of the world. The majority of car manufacturers now offer diesel engine alternatives in most of their range as customers demand better economy, and it is not just the run of the mill family transport that benefit anymore either. BMW, Mercedes, Audi and even Jaguar now offer super advanced diesel engined options in their most luxurious high spec limousines. 150mph performance and 40mpg combined cycle economy are now achievable.
Chrysler is a little late in the game. Although they have offered a diesel engined variant in most of Europe since 2005, they have dodged the UK market. Nevertheless, Chysler have sold their 300C large saloon in the UK with reasonable success. New owners, Cerberus, are keen to improve the UK arm of the business and realise having a competitive diesel engined option is a now a must in Britain. Not only is the car getting a 3.0L 215hp V6 diesel option, it also gets a refresh all round which mainly concentrates on the rear end and the interior. Chrysler should be hoping for a considerable improvement in sales for the 300C with the introduction of this engine. Read on for more details.
The Chrysler 300C is already the most striking vehicle on the road for less than £30,000 – and for 2008 Chrysler will make the 300C stand out even more – with a revised exterior and an updated interior across the range. Chrysler will also launch an entirely new model in the UK – the diesel-powered 'SRT-Design'. The exterior of the 300C has been refreshed for 2008 with changes to the rear fascia and rear light clusters. The rear saloon boot lid is also new and now incorporates an integrated spoiler and high-mounted stop light.
The interior design has been enhanced with a new instrument panel and centre console design, highlighted with satin silver bezels. Soft touch surfaces on arm rests and door panels add to the comfortable interior while the new dark interior colour adds to the sophisticated feel. A new ignition key with one-touch start-up, a fully adjustable steering wheel as well as LED lighting in the front cup holders and front and rear door pockets all provide additional driver convenience. In addition, seat-mounted airbags have been added to the front and side-curtain airbags to the rear for increased driver and passenger safety.
The MyGIG infotainment system is a new option that offers owners the very latest integrated onboard systems. There's MP3 player compatibility, a touch screen controlled navigation system featuring outstandingly clear graphical maps as well as the ability to store up to approximately 1600 songs on an integrated 20GB hard drive. The UConnect Hands-free Communication System uses Bluetooth technology to provide voice-activated wireless communication.
The 300C SRT-Design model includes all of these refinements and adds all the visual enhancements that make the high-performance SRT-8 such a crowd pleaser. The SRT-Design is available as a saloon or a Touring and features the economical 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine. SRT-Design features include SRT 20-inch alloy wheels and wheel arch spats as well as a chrome mesh grille. Inside, the SRT-Design gets MyGIG satellite navigation as standard as well as an SRT-8 steering wheel, SRT-8 leather sports seats and carbon fibre interior details.
Simon Elliott, Managing Director of Chrysler UK Ltd, said: "We have sold more than 6,000 cars since the launch in 2005 and this means the 300C has been a huge success story for Chrysler in the UK. We have struggled to keep up with customer demand since launch and this sustained popularity has helped make sure that it has maintained a very healthy residual value and this bodes well for our future success.
"While the 300C SRT-8 is still one of the most affordable performance cars on the block the diesel-powered SRT-Design model means you get all the looks with the everyday driving benefits of our 3.0-litre diesel engine. The changes to the interior help take the 300C to a whole new level but the changes do not detract from what has made the 300C such a success – it remains a great looking, well-equipped and a very competitively priced car."
