General Information
Youth coming together to lead global change is the movement of our time, and We Day is this movement. We Day is a stadium-sized educational and empowerment event that brings young people together with world leaders and entertainers to celebrate their ability to create change and to inspire another year of action. We Day brings some of the greatest social issues of today to the forefront, and—no matter the cause, no matter the issue—provides ways in which every young person can find their place within the movement to create global change.
More than a one-day event, We Day is connected to the year-long We Act program, which offers educational resources and campaigns to help young people turn the day's inspiration into sustained action. We Day and We Act are cause inclusive, empowering young people to find their passion and create the change they want to see. By taking action on one local and one global cause, students are equipped with the tools to succeed academically, in the workplace and as active citizens.
Free The Children believes in a world in which all young people are free to achieve their fullest potential as agents of change. We believe in empowering youth to remove the barriers preventing them from being active local and global citizens. We Day is a way for young people to come together and celebrate their power to change the world, learn about new issues and gain the inspiration needed to take action. It creates a community of young activists who know they are not alone in their journey to make a difference.
The talent announcement for each We Day event is made available on weday.com approximately two weeks prior to the event date.
We Act
We Act is a year-long educational program that helps students succeed academically, in the workforce and as active citizens. Through service-based learning and engagement, young people are empowered to take action on issues they care about, both at home and around the world. The program unfolds throughout the year in five steps: Sign Up, Discover your Issue, Develop your Skills, Take Action and Celebrate Your Impact.
The outcomes of the We Act program are both immediate and long lasting. From transforming student behaviour to building a generation of active citizens, our program:
- Increases student engagement in the classroom
- Creates a more caring school culture
- Deepens connections between students and teachers
- Develops students' sense of responsibility toward local and global communities
- Increases lifelong commitment to philanthropy among students
Yes. We Day is a celebration of the impact schools/groups participating in the We Act program have on their local and global community, and also helps inspire them to continue to make a difference. As such, it is reserved for those schools/groups that are part of the program.
Our school is unable to attend We Day but would like to participate in the We Act program. Can we still register?
Absolutely! The We Act program is open to all schools and groups, whether they come to We Day or not. As a part of the program, you will have access to all of Free The Children's online educational resources and we will connect you directly with one of our team's amazing Educator Programming Coordinators (EPC)! He/she will be there throughout the year to provide you with support and guidance as you and your students discover your issues, develop your skills, take action and celebrate your impacts.Click here to register, or visit www.freethechildren.com/we-act to learn more.
Yes. Your school or group must register for the We Act program and/or We Day each year that it wishes to participate.

The content of the show is catered towards students 12 years and older, in terms of language used and themes discussed. Additionally, the level of lighting and sounds in the show may be overwhelming for children younger than 12. We invite you to still participate in the We Act Program or watch the show using the live webcast on weday.com!
Students earn their way to We Day by completing one local and one global action. We Day is a free event that celebrates the amazing work schools/groups have taken for social change and so there are no admission costs.
Please note, schools/groups are responsible for covering all related costs, which may include supply teacher costs, transportation and accommodation, if necessary.

There are also volunteer positions available for individuals looking to get involved with We Day and see it from a different perspective. For more information, visit www.weday.com/volunteers.

Tickets and Logistics
The number of tickets per school/group varies by city and is determined by the capacity of the venue and the number of groups applying. If your group applied for We Day and is approved for tickets, the primary contact for the group will receive an email approximately six weeks prior to the event, with more information about how many tickets have been allocated to your group.Please note:
- The General Ticket Allotment is subject to change each school year so please check back in the Fall for updated information regarding We Day near you.
- Schools will be docked tickets from the general ticket allotment if either Report 1: Action Plan or Report 2: A Year in Review are not completed.
Ticket allocations are based on the size of the venue and the number of groups registering for the event. Each year the ticket allocations may vary and as interest for the event grows, ticket allocations often decrease per group. We understand it is hard to only select part of the group to attend. The We Day team tries their best to accommodate as many students as possible. We invite anyone who was not able to attend the event to watch the live webcast at weday.com!
In order to be eligible to attend We Day, a school/group must be part of the We Act program. Registration for the We Act program is available all year long, if We Day in your region is taking place in the Fall, application for tickets for We Day begin in the Spring. If We Day in your region is taking place in the Spring, application for tickets will begin in the fall. Both the registration for the program and the application to attend the event can be found here.Eligibility to attend We Day is based on several criteria:
- Completion of We Act commitments. We Day is a component of the We Act Program. In order to be eligible to attend We Day, each school/group applying must have completed their actions on one local and global issue of their choice as well as the two required reports.
- Schools with any incomplete components of the We Act Program may be docked tickets.
- Priority is given to schools from boards/divisions/districts that have a formal partnership with Free The Children and the We Act Program. To learn more about how to become a Board Partner, please contact your Educational Programming Coordinator or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
- The date of application. The application process is open for approximately one month and schools/groups are encouraged to sign up as soon as possible as the event fills up quickly.
If you are approved for tickets and have completed the online confirmation form prior to the deadline, you will be mailed the number of wristbands and/or tickets that you confirmed you would be using. Typically these are mailed three weeks prior to the event to the address that was indicated on the confirmation form. The address label on the envelope will indicate the number of tickets your group has confirmed.
If the envelope contains less than what is indicated on the label, please come to the Ticket Pick Up table on event day morning and we would be happy to provide you with the correct amount.
If you are allocated extra tickets after completing the confirmation form, these tickets will not be mailed to you unless otherwise communicated. Please come to the Ticket Pick Up table on event day morning and we would be happy to provide you with your extra tickets. Please note, only schools that have confirmed their attendance or been approved for extra tickets will be able to pick up tickets at this table
We received our school/group's tickets in the mail, but we did not receive the correct number of tickets. What should we do?
If the envelope contains less than what is indicated on the label, please come to the Ticket Pick Up table on event day morning and we would be happy to provide you with the correct amount.
If you have been allocated extra tickets since the time of confirmation, these tickets will not be mailed to you unless otherwise communicated or indicated on the address label. Please come to the Ticket Pick Up table on event day morning and we would be happy to provide you with your extra tickets. Please note, only schools that have confirmed their attendance or been approved for extra tickets will be able to pick up tickets at this table.
Tickets are determined on an event-by-event basis and are dependent on the venue capacity. After the registration period ends, the We Day team assesses the capacity of the venue as well as the number of potential students and then determines an equal number of tickets per school. This process allows us to reach as many youth as possible. If you are approved for tickets, you will be sent a confirmation form approximately 6 weeks prior to the event which will indicate the number of tickets your group has been assigned.
During the confirmation period, schools will be able to indicate if they will not be attending the event or will not be using their full allotment of tickets. In some cases, we are able to offer these seats to groups requesting extra tickets. However, we cannot guarantee that extra tickets will become available.
To be placed on the waitlist for extra tickets please contact email@example.com and provide the following information:
- School/Group Name
- School/Group Address
- Primary Contact Name
- Primary Contact Email
- Primary Contact Number
- Number of Extra Tickets Requested
Once on the waitlist, your group will be notified if you have been approved for the extra tickets after the confirmation period closes. Please note, the We Day Registration team will not be able to place groups on the waitlist for extra tickets requests until ticket numbers have been communicated.
Yes. The tickets allocated to your school include both students and educators/chaperones. Therefore, if you were allocated 15 tickets and you would like 2 educators to attend, you may bring 13 students.
As We Day is a youth-focused event, we try to ensure that as many youth as possible are given the opportunity to attend. We recommend a ratio of one educator/supervisor for every 15 students. Please refer to your individual school/group's policies regarding chaperone/student ratios.
Each year we are excited to see so many deserving schools, educators and youth apply to attend We Day. We are humbled by this increase in popularity. In an effort to ensure that as many schools can experience the inspiration and power of We Day, the number of tickets allocated per school/group are limited.
We understand that you work with many outstanding student leaders, and that choosing school representatives to attend the event can be challenging. To assist your decision making process, we had some experienced We Act educators share their ideas on how to select student representatives:
- Applications: Students apply for the chance to attend We Day. Applications can include essays on an issue that they are passionate about, interviews, or an "Action Plan Proposal" on a volunteer project that they plan to complete following We Day.
- Random Draw: Randomly draw student leader names to determine who will represent the school at We Day.
- Nominations: Educators can nominate student leaders to represent the school at We Day.
- Elections: Empower the student body to recognize and elect leaders to represent them at We Day.
Students attending We Day should demonstrate great leadership or the potential to benefit from the experience by being encouraged to take action in the future. It is our hope that We Day will inspire your students to channel the energy of We Day into tangible social change. As leaders in the school, we encourage them to share what they learned from the experience with their fellow classmates, and to inspire them to action!
I confirmed my tickets but one of my students isn't able to come. Can you change our school's number of tickets?
The We Day Registration would be happy to allocate those tickets to other students on the waitlist. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com indicating the new total number of tickets you will need. If you have received your wristbands and/or tickets already, you will not need to return those unless otherwise asked.
Event Day
Generally, We Day events occur during the school day. For each We Day an Event Logistics Guide is created, which contains all pertinent details surrounding the day, including ticket and wristband details for entry, parking and transportation instructions and what to bring to the event. If you have been allocated tickets to We Day, the Event Logistics Guide will be emailed to you approximately one month prior to the event.
If you expected to receive your Logistics Guide and have not, we recommend also checking your spam folder in case the message from firstname.lastname@example.com was redirected there prior to contacting the We Day Registration Team. If you cannot find it, we will be happy to send it again!
Yes! You can also personalize T-shirts for your school group! Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for all inquiries regarding T-shirt orders.
Unfortunately We Day does not have any affiliations with hotels. All schools/group attending the event are responsible for arranging and covering the costs of accommodation.
You will be able to indicate the need for wheelchair accessible seating on the confirmation form. Depending on the venue, we cannot guarantee that your school/group will be able to sit with this person, as the accessibility section is a platform within the designated section. However, we will do our best to seat your school close to the accessibility section. Please note, if the person requiring accessible seating is a student, they must be accompanied by an adult. Therefore, you will need a minimum of two adults/educators with your group.
You will be able to indicate need for sign language interpretation on the confirmation form. If you were unable to indicate this need on the form please contact email@example.com.
If notified of the school's need, the We Day Team is able to provide an interpreter or be in contact with the school/group's own interpreter. The We Day Team will do our best to seat your group in the best seating to accommodate views and appropriate lighting. The team will also attempt to meet with interpreters in advance of the show to walk through the group's seating arrangement. Special instructions can also be given to the volunteers in that section about how to engage the students (e.g., learning the signs for "clapping").
Many groups who require sign language attend the event. We Day Registration Team would be happy to connect with you about any other concerns or special considerations.
There is an opportunity at each We Day event to contribute to the local community by bringing in either canned foods or used batteries. While attendees are encouraged to contribute to these local efforts, it is not mandatory to participate. Food and battery collection bins will be set up at youth entrances. Collections vary by city; more details are included in the educator's Logistics Packages.
We strongly encourage consolidating items as much as possible so your groups have fewer bags with them when you arrive. Security may ask to search your bag and this will slow your entry into the event! Unless otherwise communicated, students are allowed to bring bags for lunches, medications, etc.
We Day seating is general admission by section. Groups will be assigned a section within the venue but not specific seats. The first groups to arrive will be asked to fill the front of their assigned section and we will continue to fill assigned sections from the front row moving back with no gaps between groups.
If you are approved for tickets and have completed the online confirmation form prior to the deadline, you will be mailed the number of wristbands and/or tickets that you confirmed. These wristbands and/or tickets will have your assigned section written on them. Please note, sections are only assigned after the confirmation period and therefore the We Day Registration Team will only know assigned sections after this time. Please note, you must complete the confirmation form prior to the deadline in order to secure your tickets.
Lunch is not provided by We Day or Free The Children. We encourage all students to bring a bagged lunch to the event. If students wish to buy lunch, concessions stands are open during the lunch hour.
Yes! We encourage you to take pictures and videos during the event to capture your favorite moments. There will also be ways to participate in the show from your seats, either by using social media, through cheering or waving your home-made signs!
There will be a live webcast of each event as a way for groups who were not able to attend the event to catch some of the action! Details of the webcast will be on weday.com as the event gets closer.
If the screening is blurry you may have a slower internet connection, which can lead to poor quality when viewing live streaming. You should be able to watch it somewhere where there internet connection is at a higher speed. Also, the We Day website will have video clips from the day that you can watch later, so please check back.

There's some pretty heavy compression in place in order to squeeze all that HD content with the allotted storage, but Toshiba reps insisted that the content looks acceptable. Clever as they are, reps also neglected to have that heavily compressed HD video available for demo at CEATEC, but were happy to let us peek at a show recorded using a much more liberal amount of compression, which nets you just one-fifth of the advertised amount (think three days, not 15). Still, three days of 24 hour content from six channels ain't too shabby, but that 200,000 yen price tag (about $2,600) is a bit of a deal breaker, no? As is the fact that you can't plug this puppy into cable networks overseas (Time Shift is only compatible with basic cable channels in Japan). Jump past the break to see it in action, and expect to see it hit Japanese shores sometime in mid-December.%Gallery-135627%

Adriano Galliani will go on a lengthy pre-match training retreat with Milan after today's meeting with Clarence Seedorf. [12]
Media reports went into overdrive when the Coach left a training session for an encounter with CEO Galliani at the club headquarters, something many called an emergency summit.
It lasted around 90 minutes and neither man spoke to journalists when leaving the club offices.
It's reported that the meeting essentially backed Seedorf for the next two games, as Milan play Lazio on Sunday evening and then visit Fiorentina in the midweek round.
The team will go into a pre-match training retreat to best prepare for both Serie A matches.
The big change is that Galliani will join the squad and Coach Seedorf during this retreat, staying with the players 24 hours a day.
There are still reports the tactician could be sacked if he loses those games, having already suffered four consecutive defeats between Serie A and Champions League.
Assistant manager Mauro Tassotti would take over for the rest of the season with current Primavera Coach Pippo Inzaghi the favourite for the main job next term.

Friday, May 13, 2011
Georgetown Mayor Jack Scoville says City Council member Peggy Wayne was in gross violation when she agreed to give an affidavit on behalf of a couple who have filed legal action against the city.
Jean and Steve Rothrock, as reported in the May 4 Georgetown Times, have twice been denied permission by the citys Architectural Review Board (ARB) to place HardiPlank siding on their home at 116 Cannon Street.
After the ARB denied the request in 2008, the Rothrocks appealed the decision in Circuit Court which has sided with the ARB on two occasions, Scoville said. The matter is now pending a hearing by the S.C. Board of Appeals.
In a sworn affidavit given by Wayne on behalf of the Rothrocks, it is alleged Scoville made predictions about the
outcome of the request.
Wayne, in the affidavit given at the request of the Rothrocks attorney Doug Thornton in October 2010, said while at a city council meeting when HardiPlank was being discussed, Scoville a councilman at the time leaned over to Council member Paige Sawyer and said when is that [expletive] going to figure out that hes not going to get HardiPlank on that house?
Scoville said Tuesday he categorically denies ever making such a statement.
Sawyer was also asked about the allegation Tuesday.
I do not remember him ever making a statement like that, Sawyer said.
In the affidavit Wayne also says she has heard Sawyer say at least three ARB members would resign if HardiPlank was allowed on the Rothrock home.
Sawyer said he could not comment on that allegation because any discussion of that nature would have taken place in executive session.
Wayne said she came to realize various members of the ARB and city council simply do not like the Rothrocks, Wayne said in the affidavit, adding she feels this is the primary, if not only, reason the application was denied.
Scoville reacts
Scoville said Waynes decision to give a voluntary statement to Thornton is a gross violation of her fiduciary duties to the taxpayers of Georgetown.
He said the reason it should not have been done is because by giving the affidavit, Wayne is giving assistance to someone who wants to collect damages from the city.
Wayne said Tuesday she was asked questions by Thornton and answered them truthfully.
If someone walks in my shop and asks me questions, I will answer them the best I can. That is what I am elected to do. And I answer truthfully, she said.
Police presence
The second time the Rothrocks took their request before the ARB was last week, May 2.
At that meeting, the ARB voted 3-3 on the request, which means that the proposal didnt pass.
Rothrock alleges the board had made up its mind to not pass the request because members asked for a police officer to be on hand for that portion of the meeting, something Police Chief Paul Gardner said had not happened since he has been in Georgetown.
Scoville, however, said he felt ARB Chairwoman Jan Lane was justified in asking for security because of prior incidents.
He said Lane and ARB member Nancy Gilman are uncomfortable around Rothrock.
He is a very excitable person. He paces around the room and leans over the table where they are sitting, Scoville said.
He also noted after the request was denied in 2008, there was an incident on Cannon Street in which Rothrock was very angry.
Scoville said he was called to that location. When he arrived several people, including other city officials, Hal Strange Rothrocks attorney at the time and Peggy Wayne were on the scene.
He was enraged. He was screaming and cursing, saying he was going to sue (former ARB chairman) Joe Cave and the city, Scoville recalled. He was going totally berserk. I thought he was going to start hitting people.
Scoville also noted Rothrock parked a large motor home on the street directly in front of Caves home after the 2008 request denial.
Scoville said this was considered to be a form of harassment by Rothrock.
According to a police report, the vehicle remained parked at that location until January, 2010 when Rothrock met with Gardner and agreed to have it removed.
On Tuesday, Rothrock denied acting as described by Scoville. He said any other comments needed to come from Strange, who was out of the office at a conference and unreachable.

A very lucky little boy got the kind of kids' birthday party that most gamers wish they had when they were his age.
The 10-year-old's father put together the video game themed birthday party and posted all the goodies on an Imgur account.
Those who were lucky enough to get an invitation got their own custom printed Minecraft T-shirt and a slice from a tasty looking Minecraft sword cake made from marshmallow fondant.
Then the kids got to burn off all that sugar by playing video games on a couple of custom made arcade cabinets that the father built just for the party and a 10 foot tall screen connected to the family's Xbox 360. Just from the photos below, I'd put myself up for adoption if the law allowed it at my age.

Lots of little gems came out of last week's Inmarsat Aeronautical Conference in Vancouver. And some of them can be found on Flight Global's new IFE&C web channel, including a piece about IMDC's (somewhat dire) forecast for IFE expenditure this year; an update on Inmarsat's aeronautical business and Thales' revelation about TopConnect flight tests on a McDonnell Douglas DC-9.
I also posted a blog about Rockwell Collins' Ku-band considerations for the commercial air transport sector. But I think the following info is also noteworthy.
- As you may be aware, the EC recently selected Inmarsat and Solaris to provide mobile satellite services across Europe. The license is specific to Europe but as Inmarsat looks at its next generation I-5 satellites, S-band is something to look at.
- Inmarsat says there is no new news "at this time" to report about Harbinger's strategic interest in acquiring Inmarsat.
- SwiftBroadband will eventually support safety services (but please don't ask me to explain how this will work…I'm waiting for Inmarsat aeronautical product and safety services manager Gary Colledge's speech to be made available online before tackling that topic)
- Boeing says it is actively looking at developing common wireless infrastructure for its aircraft portfolio. For example, the 787 architecture leverages Ethernet quite a bit. Boeing has taken that and moved it to the 747-8 programme. The company is aware that it needs "to be able to be able to accommodate different service providers to give airlines true choice".
- IMDC senior analyst Robert Smith (to the right) says Aircell "has a very finite potential market and with the deals they've made [in North America] they appear very close to reaching that finite market". (However, I should point out that Aircell is working on a hybrid solution - to support ATG in North America and Ku-band connectivity on overseas flights.) Here is a slide from Smith's presentation:
- Installs of OnAir's SwiftBroadband-supported mobile connectivity service are performed during standard light C-checks and take approximately three days to complete. ECS, which is spearheading the install cert process, says it knows that Ryanair's trial of OnAir will be short-lived "if it doesn't produce revenue results for them". Thus far, however, the prognosis is good, with Ryanair recently applauding the service.
In an unrelated aside, Delta Air Lines has issued an update about its Gogo equipage.
The carrier says that nearly 49% of its pre-Northwest merger fleet is now equipped with the Aircell system (that's 157 aircraft). Nice to see Delta driving fast forward on this one! Isn't this a funky car from Vancouver? Love it!

Re: Alan Wake coming to Steam in February
They could do some awesome with this game. As it was originally gonna' be a PC game, pushing graphical bounderies and promoting DX10 way back in the day, I could see them breaking some berriers with this game- properly using multi-core and multi-threaded CPUs, taking advantage of advanced APIs such as DX10.1 or preferrably DX11, taking advantage of the faster subsystems of the PC such as DDR3 RAM, SSD/SATA II and III for streaming in data of new areas, the larger framebuffers on today's video cards... a lot of hardware for them to take advantage of here.
Honestly, I expect them to fully exploit the capabilities of today's hardware. After abandoning the PC platform as they did with this game, they have a crap ton to live up to in order to impress me. If this turns out to be a game worthy of today's top-end gaming rigs then I'll definitely consider it. Otherwise, I'll probably pass or pick it up on a super cheap steam sale.

State of the iPhone 2.0 Unlock: DevTeam Still Pending, HK Starts Shipping?
We've been all over the jailbreak/unlock situation for both the iPhone 3G and the original iPhone 2G updated to 2.0, and here's the latest.
The iphone-dev team's pwnage hasn't been released yet, but will be soon. According to their blog, Apple's firmware update slowed them down a little, as has the 3G baseband, so what you'll get short term is:
iPhone (1st Gen) with 2.0 - Activated, Unlocked & Jailbroken, (with support for third party applications). iPod Touch with 2.0 - Activated & Jailbroken, (with support for third party applications). iPhone (3G) with 2.0 - Activated, Jailbroken (with support for third party applications).
Can't wait? Willing to risk mail order? Engadget Mobile says you can order a $1000 worth of unlocked iPhone 3G now:
According to the [Alibaba.com] wholesale goods supply site, you can just order up the "original" Apple device direct from a company called Union Camera and have them sent to whatever poorly lit dock, abandoned warehouse, or suburban safe-house you desire. The best part? They're network unlocked.
Dunno if I'd risk it yet. How about you?

Would you believe it?! The Phillies finally, for the first time since 2003, have won a series against the Boston Red Sox. Game one was all Phils, Dom Brown picked up his 5th homer of 2011 in the bottom of the second to give the Phils a 2-0 lead. Cliff Lee helped his own cause in the bottom of the 5th with a sac fly to left to make the score 3-0. Lee was in complete control as he shut down the Red Sox the rest of the way to pick up his 3rd consecutive shutout, Shane Victorino added a 2 run homer in the 6th. Lee became the first Phillie since Robin Roberts back in the year of the Whiz Kids 1950. Lee now has a 32 consecutive scoreless inning streak going for him as well. He finished the month of June with a 5-0 record and only a 0.21 ERA. Cliff was in the zone in June and hopefully it can continue into July and the rest of the season.
In game 2 the young Vance Worley went up against the premier offenses in the game, and shut them down only allowing one run over 7 great innings striking out 5. Raul Ibanez's bat finally heated up with a great game. Raul went 3-3 with a homer while driving in the 2 Phillies runs. Michael Stutes shut down the Sox in the 8th and Antonio Bastardo came in to close the game out and did just that. Bastardo got 3 straight pop ups to retire the side and give the Phils the 2-1 win and the series win. Bastardo and Stutes have been the best surprises out of this season, they've proven to be great relievers no matter what role they're in. In his first closing situation Bastardo looked like he'd be the closer for this team his whole career. Didn't look nervous at all and seemed unaware of the powerhouse lineup he was facing.
Game 3 of the series....well there isn't much to talk about. The game was set to be a pitchers duel and it was for the first few innings. Then Cole Hamels was hit on the hand with a line drive. Luckily for the Phils the x-rays were negative. Ryan Howard got a 2 run bomb in the 9th but it was too late. The Phils lost 5-2, but who knows how this game would have gone if Hamels didn't get hit by that line drive. But this series was huge for the Phils, they proved they can beat great offenses with the great pitching they have. The next series for the Phils is against the Toronto Blue Jays. The pitchers for the Phils in this series will be Kendrick, Halladay, Lee. Roy Halladay will make his homecoming in the second game of the series, hopefully we'll see a classic Doc performence and a Phillies win, and series win. LET'S GO PHILS!

Education and Training
by Peter Goldsbury
Published Online
Having received all my formal education in the UK and the U.S., albeit quite a few years ago, and having some twenty years experience in teaching university students in Japan, I suppose I am in a position to make some comparisons between these western countries and Japan. Since I have also practiced aikido in these three countries, though I have spent a much longer period of training here in Japan, I can also apply the comparisons to martial arts training in a martial art like aikido. I shall start by looking at education and martial arts education generally, and in following articles examine the concepts of teaching, learning and the syllabus in more detail.
Of course, one aspect of education is common to any society: it is a preparation for citizenship and a society cannot function unless its members have certain minimal standards of linguistic and cultural literacy, such that they can participate in the accepted social activities, such as marriage, military service, or political and civic activities. In the field of education, pupils and students need to pass public examinations of a uniform standard, in order to graduate from school or university.
In Japan, authority plays an unusually prominent social role in public life and this aspect of Japanese culture is very striking to foreigners. Japanese society has sometimes been called a 'nanny' society. Thus there is always someone around to monitor social behavior, give orders or advice, even for such seemingly simple activities as taking a bus or train to work, school or the shops, and very little is left to individual initiative. This way of thinking is seen in an unusually intense form in Japanese high schools, where every possibility is allowed for, in the form of a multitude of rules governing all aspects of behavior, so that nothing is assumed to go wrong. Of course things do go wrong and on these occasions I have sometimes seen university students, whom I wrongly assume to be mature adults, waiting passively for someone in authority to take charge of the situation and give orders. Japanese people inevitably obey without question anyone who appears to have superior knowledge or authority, like a university teacher, tour guide, or "expert" and especially anyone wearing a uniform. The martial arts fit this authority model very well and it is no surprise to me that they flourished especially in Japan, with its long history of military governments. Training in the martial arts is often portrayed as an excellent means of developing the individual, but in Japan the reverse side of this—the ura-gawa, is that such training is also an excellent means of reinforcing social control.
Thus, one of the fundamental aims of education is to be a socializing process outside the family. A child joins the relatively artificial society of school and progresses through the system until able to function in society generally, usually after graduation from high school or college. There are at least two aspects of this socializing process: learning to function as part of a group, and discovering the boundaries of the group. The distinction between education and training, common to both Japanese and English, cuts across this group/individual distinction. There is much common ground, so a lot of what takes place in a school might be regarded both as education and as training. However, I suspect that in Japan education generally is seen more as a form of training, but for me they are fundamentally different.
Education is rightly regarded by the state as a tool for creating model citizens, but for me it is a means to bring out someone's potential as a person and this implies a very robust view of the individual. This is the first aspect. Another fundamental aspect of education is that it is in no way utilitarian. The realization of someone's potential as a person is itself the reason for that person's education. Nothing else is required as an additional reason, like producing a "model" citizen. Thus, the individual, rather than the state, bears the ultimate responsibility for education.
I look back with a certain fondness on my own high school education. This took place in a typical English "public school" (which is actually a private school), in classes of no more than about 20 pupils. There was a low staff/pupil ratio and the syllabus gave much time to explore interesting avenues of thinking, over and above what was required by the examination syllabus. Thus, I was taught to develop a critical attitude to what I was told by those in authority. There was always a readiness to question and this, of course, is fully in keeping with the methods of intellectual discipline espoused by the Greeks, especially Socrates. I still use the Socratic method in teaching my own doctoral students and they are somewhat unnerved by it. Rather than asking questions, my Japanese colleagues appear to be much happier telling their students what they should be doing. This latter learning model is the norm in high schools and universities and one of my earliest aikido teachers once told me that students should never presume to question those with clearly superior knowledge, such as professors. The task of students is to understand what those with superior knowledge have to impart. How they do this is another question. In fact I have found little signs of this critical attitude among Japanese students and I suspect that this is because the aims of education have become subordinated to the aims of training.
Two examples of education as training come to mind here in Japan. One is learning how to read and write the Japanese language; the other is learning a martial art like aikido. Mastering the Chinese kanji required to read a newspaper is a formidable task, which takes many years, and is way beyond the learning of, e.g., Latin or Greek vocabulary. I do not know of any interesting methods of learning kanji, other than rote learning, but having to master the kanji sets up a central example of training as a model of education, right at the beginning of a student's educational career. Of course, there is a value in training as education at an early age, but the danger is that all education is seen as a form of training, geared to a particular goal, like passing examinations.
There are very practical goals in learning kanji: without such knowledge, the newspaper or book cannot be read. The goals of learning a martial art like aikido are much less clear. It is often called a modern budo, but the connotations of this word, especially for modern Japanese, are not often explored. Nevertheless, the model of such learning, especially in Japanese university and school aikido clubs, is also training: mastering a set of complex actions by constant repetition until the activity becomes second nature.
There are a number of activities, such as running, for which training is beneficial, but which need have no other goal other than the activity in question. Of course, one can run to win prizes or to keep fit, but one can also run because it is an enjoyable activity, in which one can take pleasure. Why would one take up a modern budo, like aikido? Perhaps to keep fit, perhaps as a means of self-defense, perhaps because of the "spiritual" value of training. These are all valid reasons, as is the reason that it is worth doing in itself, without any additional goal. It is in this sense that aikido can become a vehicle for one's education.

The first title IDW will release in January is G.I.JOE#1, written by Chuck Dixon and featuring art by Robert Atkins. This title follows G.I. JOE as it explores an all-new threat, a shadowy organization that was first introduced to the team in a #0 issue story. Dave Johnson (100 Bullets) will provide covers for the series, as will Robert Atkins. The first issue features a special wraparound variant cover by superstar artist Gabriele Dell'Otto (Secret War).
In February, IDW launches G.I. JOE: ORIGINS #1, a series that re-envisions the G.I. JOE team for a new generation. Larry Hama's unique blend of strong characterization and action storytelling, honed over decades of writing these characters, to effective use in looking at the formations of the G.I. JOE organization and just who the characters on the team really are. Hama will be joined on this series by artist Tom Feister (Ex Machina). Each issue will come with two regular covers, one by Andrea Di Vito and one by Feister himself.
Finally, launching in March, G.I. JOE: COBRA #1, kicks off a four-part miniseries written by Christos Gage and Mike Costa, with art by Antonio Fuso, and covers by Howard Chaykin (American Flagg) and Fuso. This series provides a unique look at the new status quo for the primary threat in the G.I. JOE universe. The series views the sinister COBRA organization from a ground-floor view as a familiar G.I. JOE team member seeks to infiltrate Cobra and learn their inner workings.
In addition to these titles, IDW will be launching comics that lead into next summer's G.I. JOE live-action major motion picture from Paramount Pictures and Hasbro, as well as deluxe reprints of past fan-favorite tales. Details for both these projects will be released soon.
G.I. JOE #1 launches in January 2009; FC • 32 pages • $3.99
G.I. JOE: ORIGINS #1 debuts in February 2009; and G.I. JOE: COBRA #1 premieres in March 2009.

Boba Fett's Mandalorian helmet is legend. According to a Star Wars-obsessed, nutjob friend that owns a replica, it gives him a panoramic view of everything, it records videos and plays them back on command, it dispenses water, and it helps to make the assassin clone a crazy badass. It's also a massive part of his identity: According to Wookiepedia, once, in Boba Fett: Twin Engines of Destruction, Corellian mercenary Dengar asked him to take off the helmet and reveal his face, and Fett responded, "This is my face." Did I mention Boba Fett was a crazy badass? Because he totally is.
Fett's helmet is one of the great collectible accessories of the Star Wars mythology. But you know what would make it an even greater collectible accessory? If someone re-painted it in 1980s Canuck colours and got Kirk McLean and Dana Murzyn to sign it. And what do you know, someone did.Continue Reading —›

Revisiting Prohibition: Kentucky Ahead of Time
By Jim Warren, Lexington Herald-Leader
In November 1919, Kentucky voters narrowly approved a state constitutional amendment banning the sale and distribution of alcohol in the state two months before Prohibition began nationwide. Not until Jan. 17, 1920, did the Volstead Act take effect, making America, officially at least, a dry nation as provided by the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Prohibition returned as a topic of conversation earlier this month with the premiere on public television of Prohibition, a three-part documentary by filmmaker Ken Burns.

Cross Collar Choke from in the Guard
I'm curious who uses a cross collar choke when they are inside someones guard and when they will sue it if they do?
I've heard it said a lot that if you use cross collars your begging to get armbarred but in Judo I haven't really seen this happen much. I cross collar choke when to try and set up a pass when the guy under me hasn't got his hips out and have never had a problem with it and I've never managed to catch anyone halfway proficient on the ground when they try this move.
Now of course you could say that this is because Judo sucks on the ground but in the club I train at we spend about 40% of our time on ground work so I don't really accept its a lack of ability on the part of the people I roll with. In addition we have a guy trainnign with us who has 2 years of pure BJJ and he says he reckons BJJ is missing out on a trick by not teaching the technique.

In my own experience with the judo guys I know, only the ones that aren't so terrific at groundwork try cross-choking from inside someone's guard. They used to try it on me, but then I started catching armbars and even some double armbars, and they've eventually stopped trying. All the black belts I know don't ever try it.
I've found this is the easiest to do: When my opponent grabs for the cross choke, I let him get both grips, but stop him from locking in by ducking my chin and/or getting an arm in. I break his posture by rocking him forward a few time and then walking my guard up his back. He can't stop the posture break without letting go of the grips because he can't push off my chest or hips. Once my guard is locked in high, and we're nearly chest-to-chest, I either break one grip and/or weave in a leg to lock in a triangle, or underhook one of his legs and do a flower sweep.

Edit: I also try to scissor sweep them figuring that they can't base out to avoid the sweep but they tend to lift their elbow out and post of it or release the choke and post out on a hand.
I posted it in Guanatanamo bay so I don't get savage reprisals for saying this do I? I'm doing something wrong there aren't I? I just know it.

Do you know SBG's "pit stop"? I find that it's pretty easy to get to the pit stop if he holds on to the collar choke. Otherwise, you can push one of his elbows down and slide your knee up underneath his other elbow, so you can lock in a triangle hold (ankles crossed like in closed guard, but with an arm and head controlled instead of the torso). From either position, you've got great control of his upper body, which makes it easy to get triangles and armbars (leading into different sub combos). Also, SWEEP CITY.

I like having triangle control or pit stop, because it makes it really easy to move my opponent's upper body in the direction of the sweep.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Holy Cross senior first baseman Jordan Enos (Stockton, Calif.) batted .857 (6-for-7) during both contests with three runs and a pair of RBIs, as the Crusaders defeated Yale, 5-4 and 7-6, in a twin bill at Yale Field on Saturday afternoon. With the wins, Holy Cross improves to 4-13 on the season, while Yale slips to 1-11 overall. Holy Cross senior Andrew Boyce (Avon, Conn.) picked up both wins out of the bullpen for the Crusaders as he pitched 3.2 scoreless innings in relief.
Game 1
Yale broke the scoreless tie in the top of the second inning with three runs to grab the early 3-0 lead. The Crusaders answered with a pair in the bottom of the second inning. With two outs in the frame, freshman Connor Perry (Haverhill, Mass.) ripped a two-RBI double to left field to plate senior Stephen Wadsworth (Wayland, Mass.) and Enos to cut the deficit to 3-2.
Holy Cross knotted the score at 3-3 in the bottom of the fourth inning as Perry hit a sacrifice fly to score Enos. The Bulldogs, however, grabbed the lead in the top of the fifth inning with on a bases loaded walk to make the score 4-3.
The Crusaders rallied in the bottom of the fifth inning as they pushed across two runs to gain the 5-4 advantage. Junior Andrew Barry (Puyallup, Wash.) scored the first run of the frame to tie the score as Enos singled to right field to plate junior Brandon Cipolla (Abington, Mass.) and give Holy Cross its first lead of the contest at 5-4.
Holy Cross pitchers Boyce and senior Mike Ahmed (East Longmeadow, Mass.) pitched two scoreless frames as Ahmed picked up his first save of the season to give the Crusaders the 5-4 win. Senior John Colella (Herndon, Va.) started the game for Holy Cross as he pitched 4.1 innings and allowed four earned runs and eight hits. He walked four batters and fanned three. Yale starting pitcher Chris Moats (0-1) was charged with the loss as he went five innings on the bump and allowed five runs (three earned) and nine hits.
Enos went 3-for-3 in the contest with two runs scored as Wadsworth hit 2-for-3 with one run. The Crusaders outhit Yale 10-8 in the game.
Game 2
In the second game of the doubleheader, Yale scored one run in the top of the first inning to lead 1-0. After two scoreless innings by both teams, Holy Cross was able to grab the lead in the bottom of the fourth. With two outs, Enos hit a single to left field. Wadsworth, during the next at-bat, launched a home run to left to give the Crusaders the 2-1 edge. The blast was Wadsworth's first of the season.
Holy Cross put up a three runs in the bottom half of the fifth inning. Sophomore Evan Ocello (Camarillo, Calif.) led off the inning with a walk and went to second on a single by Barry. After Ahemd pushed both runners over on a sacrifice bunt, Cipolla lined a double to centerfield to plate Ocello and Barry to give Holy Cross the 4-1 lead. Enos then followed that with a double to center as well to score Cipolla and give the Crusaders the commanding 5-1 advantage.
Yale, however, rallied and scored four runs in the top of the seventh inning to knot the score at 5-5. All of the Bulldogs' runs during the frame came after the first two batters recorded an out. Yale then scored one run in the eighth to go on top 6-5.
However, the Crusaders would answer in the bottom of the ninth. With two outs in the inning, Ahmed reached first on an error to get the rally going. During the next at-bat, Cipolla singled up the middle and Ahmed moved over the third to put runners on the corners. Perry then ripped a base-hit to score Ahmed and knot the score at 6-6. After Wadsworth walked to load the bases, senior Patrick Puentes (East Greenbush, N.Y.) hit a single to right field to score Cipolla and give the Crusaders the walk-off 7-6 triumph.
Boyce (2-2) picked up his second victory of the day with two scoreless innings of relief. He allowed only one hit as he struck out four batters. Holy Cross sophomore pitcher Donny Murray (Walpole, Mass.) had a no-decision as he pitched 6.2 innings and allowed five earned runs and nine hits. He fanned five batters and had zero walks. Yale pitcher Michael Coleman (0-3) was charged with the loss as he pitched 4.1 innings and allowed two runs and a pair of hits.
Cipolla, Enos and Puentes all had multi-hit games for the Crusaders, while both teams had 12 hits apiece in the contest.
Holy Cross was the home team in both games as it could not play the twin bill at Fitton Field due to field conditions.
The Crusaders will return to action on Sunday, March 24 as it will conclude the four-game series at Yale with a doubleheader beginning at 1:00 p.m.

So... this is not another "What is the difference?" thread as I've seen a few times before - but rather one of the reasons I registered to post rather than continuing to lurk as I've been doing for some time, is to share the experience of SWIM regarding these two drugs, since it's somewhat (radically) different than just about everything I've read here so far. That said - I'll preface my first real post by saying: I love you folks. I've gotten so much from reading this board it defies quantification. Also, if I accidentally use "I" instead of SWIM, it's just an abbreviation (SWIM). I've personally never used an opiate in my life, of course.
By way of background, SWIM has extensive experience with chronic pain, and its treatment, including in more-or-less chronologic order: hydrocodone, percocet, plain oxycodone/oxyIR, oxycontin (up to 40 TID/ 60 BID doc Rx'd, 120mg at a time self-Rx'd), dilaudid (4mg by mouth, 2-4 IV in hospital, recently up to 16-20mg IV at home), duragesic/fentanyl patch (50mcg/hr worn, eaten, smoked, etc), MS Contin (yuck), and others I'm sure SWIM forgot to mention. Most notably, though, in the last two or three months SWIM has been prescribed the elusive and reclusive beast: OPANA . The important distinction here is that it's opana IR, not ER. I think therein lies the key. SWIM's Rx is for 10mg three times a day - either 84 5mg pills (blue) per 2 weeks, or 42 10mg pills (pink) per 2 weeks.
They are water-soluble. The more water you use, the easier it is to draw up. With not enough water it can seem like it's gooping, but it's not. With enough water (SWIM uses a 3ml syringe with an 18-gauge needle to draw it up, then a 25 or 27 gauge needle to ... um ... you know). IV, it is spectacularly euphoric according to SWIM. Lasts longer than D. 10 or 15mg IV is superduperpooperscooper good for someone who comparably will use 16 or 20 of D by the same route. SWIM wouldn't waste it orally. Hasn't really experimented with it nasally. You can cold-cook it. Piece of cake. Works great . If you cold-cook it, you can then hot-cook the rinse and it still works again. Save some cottons (not for very long of course) and then use them to make a solution you can take per poop chute. Then sterility / cotton fever is not an issue. Or, if you just decide to use the out door as the route of administration in the first place, works great.
Why do I write this book of a post? Well, first of all it's been burning a hole in SWIM's pocket, so to speak. They've been wanting to do so for a while, so it feels good to get it off their chest. Second... they wanted to make sure that - to anyone who is already so inclined, that they have the appropriate understanding of the differences between the ER (SWIM has never seen it) and the IR (two thumbs up) versions. Also, a dose-comparison to D is given for reference purposes (though as with anything, START SMALL!!!!).
Most of all though, SWIM felt bad that their friend Opana was being so maligned by so many. They decided they needed to stand up for the reputation of the otherwise trash-talked Opana. Since SWIM can't type, I decided to be their vector. As I said earlier, the closest I've come to an opiate is watching Opie season on Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel.
May you all have a wonderful opiated day. You all rock.
