Whitlock makes history at World Championships to claim all-round silver
Commonwealth champion Max Whitlock has claimed all-round silver in the World Championships - equalling the best ever-finish for a British gymnast.
Whitlock, who trains at the South Essex Gym Club in Basildon, performed a brilliant final floor routine to seal second place in China.
The 21-year-old missed out on gold to the dominant Japanese athlete Kohei Uchimura, who recorded a score of 91.965.
Whitlock's performance matches the achievement of Northamptonshire's Dan Keatings, who claimed silver in 2009.
Peterborough gymnast Louis Smith takes to Twitter to voice frustration over apparent European Champs snub
Peterborough gymnast Louis Smith has announced on Twitter that he's not been selected for the European Championships.
The 25-year-old resumed his career earlier this year after taking a break following the Olympic Games in London.

Huntingdon gymnasts take gold on two continents
It was a busy Easter weekend for Olympic Gymnasts Louis Smith and Daniel Keatings, with each travelling to different Continents as part of their European and Commonwealth selection campaign.
Triple Olympic medallist Smith travelled to Seoul, South Korea to compete in the prestigious World Cup event, while Keatings made the journey to Brazil as part of a 4 man GB squad in a team event in San Paolo.
Smith, 24, was representing Great Britain for the first time since his London final, and beat arch rival and 2012 champion Kristian Berki of Hungary to te gold medal.
Speaking after the event, Smith said;
"I'm very pleased with my performance today after over 18 months out of international competition. I've now scored some of the highest marks on pommels at 3 consecutive events and it feels good to be able to fight for medals with some of the best in the World."
Keatings, 23, was also in fine form, helping the GB team to Gold in front of Brazil, as well as finishing second all around and taking gold on both pommel horse and parallel bars.
The Huntingdon gymnasts must now wait for selection announcements for the European Championships to be held in Bulgaria in May, as well as the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow later in the summer.
Cambridgeshire gymnast Louis Smith announces Commonwealth Games comeback
Three-time Olympic medallist Louis Smith has announced that he is to return to full time training in a bid to compete for England at this summer's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
The Peterborough-born gymnast hasn't competed since winning individual sliver on the pommel horse at London 2012.
24-year-old Smith had taken a break from the sport to try his hand at other activities, but he has now decided that the time is right to make a comeback.
"I always said that everything that I was working on was geared towards 2012 and when I achieved what I did at the London Olympics, within myself I believed that I had taken part in my last ever competition in the sport," he told the British Gymnastics website.
"However, recently my feelings have started to change. I loved commentating at the World Championships in October, however there was a large part of me that felt I should be competing.
"I know what I'm still capable of when I'm in peak condition. I believe I can very much compete amongst the best in the world and challenge for medals."
Olympian to get civic reception
Peterborough City Council have announced plans to welcome Olympic silver medallist back home.
The Olympic silver and bronze medal winner will be given an open top bus parade around the city on Saturday.
The event starts at 1.30pm outside the Town Hall.

Thu, 24 Mar 2011|
I'd like to do one thing. I'd like to give it up one more time for Skip and for Brian. Now we know the brains behind the secret list. [APPLAUSE] >> I don't think I've ever seen two more deserving guys for those awards. What a, what a beautiful ceremony and, wonderful gentlemen. That was fantastic. This is a great morning. Cause this morning, I've waited for this for several years. Over the past few years, I've been extremely fortunate to be allowed to visit with my friend Billy Gustin. After every, every visit I come away feeling better about the fire service, our nature and our future. Bill's not only a fire service icon. But he's the living embodiment of what it means when we say the phrase, walk the walk and talk the talk. Bill might be given a conference or lecture in Eden Prairie, Wisconsin on residential structural firefighting on a Saturday. During that lecture, he'll be recounting a residential structure fire that he had earlier that week. In his adopted home town of Metro Dade. Miami Dade, better get that right. Although he is a true Floridian, Bill never lost that Chicago big shoulder feeling or that friendliness. He meets every firefighter as a friend and he means it. And although a powerful and strong man Bill's never lost that wide eyed childhood innocence that makes a real firefighter a real leader. He never lost that sence of tremendous art at the responsibility that the fire service has to it's community and he's never taken his duties lightly. Whether he'll be commanding an engine company on the street or preparing to give a lecture in the community far away from his home. He gives us that same sense of dedication an seriousness. ...I've had the opportunity to travel with Bill and I see him prepared to share his knowledge he's gained over his nearly 40 year career in the fire service. And it's not unlike Bill to travel in a day or two advance, so that he can custom tailor his course specifically to the community that's invited him. Let me tell you a little bit more about Bill... Bill is a 38 year veteran of the fire service, and a Captain with the Miami Day Fire Department. He began his fire service career in the Chicago area. And he conducts fire fighting training programs throughout the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. He's the lead instructor in the department's officer training program, and is a marine fire fighting instructor. He has conducted forcible entry training to local and federal law enforcement agencies and he's on our editorial advisory board of FDIC and fire engineering. But seriously Bill is more than just another editorial advisor board member, he is one of the most influential, significant editorial advisor board members that we've ever had. And he takes that duty extremely seriously. He's responsible in a large part for the quality of Fire Engineering magazine and the unparalleled depth and comprehensive nature of FDIC. Much of the content that you see in our books and videos is directly responsible from Bill Gaston. Ladies and gentlemen, it's my distinct honor to present to you our key noter for FDIC 2011 my good friend, Captain Bill Gustin. [NOISE] [MUSIC] [APPLAUSE] I would like to begin by addressing the younger members of the audience. From the looks of it, that would be just about everyone here compared to me. Every generation of old veteran firefighters passes the torch to a new generation of young firefighters. And tells the younger generation the same thing. you would never see the amount of fire, or had the much experience as we did in our day. That's what I was told when I became a volunteer fire fighter in 1973. And my dad, a 30, 33 year old veteran of the fire service was told the same thing in 1948. When he began his career with the Chicago Fire Department. Old guys like me like to brag about all the fires we taught, fought. We tell stories of the war years of the 70s and 80s. We do this because it lifts our fragile male egos at a time when just about everything else on our bodies is sagging. And we don't always tell the truth. I don't wanna say that some of us lie about our fire experience. We just tend to embellish it a bit. How many times have you heard an old timer say, I've got 30 years of experience in the fire service. No mister you may have 30 years on the fire department, but you only have three years of actual fire experience. The fire service that you young people are inheriting will be different from the one that I will retire in the forseeable future. The next generation of fire fighters will check, face challenges that their predecessors never faced. And consequently many of you will experience your own version of the war years. What are these challenges? The most significant challenge for you is that you are going to have to do your job with a fraction of the people that we have had in the past. Budget cutbacks and this hard economic times are decimating the ranks of career and volunteer fire departments and sadly. Sadly many of you will not have the support of the public that we use to have. Career firefighters have gone from hero to zero in the eyes of the public and my department has experienced this first had, just this last week. Why? Because they have become an easy target for hypocritical politicians and their cronies on Wall Street. Who are looking for somebody to shift the blame, for their own, fiscal mismanagement, that causes economic crisis. [APPLAUSE] And have turned the public against us. Throughout this country, firefighters are now to blame for the mess we are in. In my state of Florida firefighters wages have been cut substantially. And some of have been threatened by lay offs by cities who somehow managed. To find millions to form a new performing art center or a stadium that subsidizes a professional sports team with taxpayer's money. Just what we need, another performing art center. For what? So that rich people can watch ballet? I don't know about you but the idea of grown men prancing around in tights just doesn't sit well with me. Do you really think that cutting fire departments budgets is going to reduce the cost to taxpayers. I don't think so. I think that in many cities, any savings realized by cutting the budget of the Fire Department will be used by Politicians to finance their own pet projects and give-away programs to buy boats. Volunteer fire departments, which are one of our oldest and proudest American institutions are also feeling the budget crunch. I'm afraid that in too many communities the volunteer firefighter is an endangered species that is under appreciated and under funded by a public that largely takes them for granted until it is their house that's on fire. The same people that whine about high property taxes will be in shock. To see their property insurance rates go through the roof. Because there are no longer any volunteer fire fighters to protect their homes from fire. Or when they have to pay even higher property taxes to pay the salaries of career firefighters. As firefighters we take pride. In meeting new challenges. And often this means doing more with less. But as staffing of both volunteer and paid fire departments continues to diminish, there gets to be a point where we are gonna have to accept doing less with less. And unfortunately, that's gonna be the only way. For the public to realize that you get what you pay for and stop taking fire protection for granted. Please for a moment, I would like to speak directly to the young people in the volunteer fire service. By being a fire fighter, you've already set yourself apart from others in your generation. No matter what else you do with your life, you have already made a difference because you have made a commitment to protect the lives and property in your community. And it is not easy. I know it isn't. I've been there. You choose to participate in evening drills to improve your knowledge and skills after a full day's work. While many of your generation choose to sit at home, on a couch, eating Cheetos, and watching American Idol. So while you're making a difference in your communities, they're at home getting fat, and getting orange fingers. The next generation of firefighters will face new dangers as the construction industry continues to develop lightweight structural members that derive their strength from engineering, geometry and glue. Instead of the mass of conventional dimension lumber. Light weight trusses and I Joist for example are marvels of modern engineering. Except for one fundamental flaw. They fail and collapse just after a few minutes of fire involvement. You will be challenged to develop new tactics to fight fire in modern structures. There is no way that you can possibly fight fire with the same aggression and for the same duration in a home built today as you could in a home built 50 or 60 years ago. Some of the tactics that you must use to intelligently. Fight fire in modern engineered construction will be viewed by some older firefighters as aggressive. Not aggressive enough. And too defensive. But keep in mind that many of the firefighters who had criticized you have gained, or all their firefighting experience in older, conventionally constructed buildings. These veterans will probably never have to contend with fires, involving modular, prefabricated structures, green buildings, or struggle to ventilate a building with windows of impact resistant laminated glass. All challenges that you will face. You will also be challenged with the design of modern structures. Years ago we never had to deal with vaulted cathedral ceilings unless we were fighting a fire in a church, now it is the norm in most new residential developments. We preach how critical it is for fire fighters to pull ceiling at the front door if they suspect fire in the attic. Don't let fire get over your head or behind you. Well that's easier said than done when you enter the foyer of a modern house and the ceiling is 20 feet over your head. Over the years the proliferation of light weight engineered construction at petrochemical base synthetic materials has reduced the time for flash over and structural collapse and that time will only get less. Unless, during your careers. My message to the young folks in this audience is that you can be every bit as great as the generations of firefighters who have preceded you, because you can educate yourself. Granted, the number of fires in some communities is down. But that reduction. In the incidence of fire is often exaggerated by city administrators as a justification to cut fire department budgets. You will never prevent, sprinkler, smoke alarm, or public educate fires into extinction. And the fires you fight are likely to be more difficult and dangerous than in the past. Actual fire experience is valuable, there's no question about that. But experience in of itself is no longer sufficient to keep you and your brothers and sisters safe. And I don't care if you are on the busiest fire company in the world. You will never be able to derive enough knowledge through your own personal learn-while-you-burn experience. My dad used to tell me, Bill I know the firemen that go to two to three working fires a day. And there's some of the biggest dummies I know. Well, that's not exactly what he called them. But I think you get the idea. So you don't, you think you don't have enough fire experience. Well nobody does, regardless of how much time they have in this job. We all have more to learn, and we can never stop learning. If you ever reach a point in your career where you think enough about firefighting, then that's the day you need to hang it up. So how do you make up for a lack of experience and prepare yourselves for the challenges that you will face. You've already taken the first step by being students of the fire service otherwise you wouldn't be here right now. Every firefighter must be a life long student of the fire service. Not just the ones who expire to rise through the ranks. You can take great pride in being a master fire fighter, a master of your craft. But you still have to be, a student of the fire service. In order to do your job effectively and keep your brothers and sisters safe. The most respected guy in my firehouse holds the rank of firefighter. And he has earned that respect with his knowledge, skill and dedication to his profession. When I was a young firefighter I could not wait for the next fire. It wasn't that I wanted to see someone lose their property. I just wanted to put my knowledge and skills to the test. My dad used to tell me, Bill would you quite wishing for fires, you better be careful what you wish for young man, because your wishes may come true. And you'll find yourself going to fire you wish you never went to. Fire is we people are killed, fire is where children are terribly burned. Fires will, Fellow fire fighters lose there life. And he was right. You can't go to every fire, Nor would you want to because sooner or later someone is gonna get hurt, Let us learn from the experience and tragedies of fires that we were luck enough, not to go to. You don't have to have a LP tank blow up in your face, For you to recognize the signs of an impending blubby. You don't have to lose two of your friends in the roof collapse of a McDonald's for y ou to know there is an inherent danger with lightweight truss roofs on fast food restaurants. And you don't have to witness the death of nine firefighters when they are overwhelmed by fire in a furniture store in order for you to gain an understanding of fire behavior and the critical rate of flow. We could avoid line up duty deaths and career ending injuries by learning from the experience and tragedies of other fire fighters who have been there. We do this by attending conferences such as these, reading Fire Engineering and similar magazines and visiting their websites. We should study every fire fighter in death, in injury that is document in NYOSH reports. Every lesson that you learn from what went wrong at a fire you didn't go to is another bullet that you dodge. We must remain current with research that is being conducted on fire dynamics, ventilation, and the fire performance of lightweight structural assemblies. There is an abundance of information on these topics that is readily available from NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and UL, Underwriter's Laboratories, on their websites. Now for a few things that irk me about today's fire service. [LAUGH]. I hope you brought your lunch. [LAUGH] I can't believe the amount of fire apparatus accidents that have occurred over the past few years. We've never had safer apparatus, but everybody supposedly enclosed and seat belted in. Up until the 1980s, it was common for firefighters to ride on the outside of apparatus and I can't remember firefighters falling off rigs in great numbers. So what's up with all the accidents? It can be explained in two words: excessive speed. You injure or kill a civilian with an apparatus and all the goodwill and public relations that your fire department has worked so hard to foster over the years is gone, even if it wasn't your fault. And if it is your fault, god help you. There are apparatus drivers and company officers who have been arrested and incarcerated on vehicular manslaughter charges. And have lost their jobs. And the misery doesn't end there. because criminal charges are only the beginning. Wait till the lawyers come after you for civil damages as well. We better stop this insanity right now. And slow down, and maneuver fire apparatus like the professionals we claim to be. In the last few years there have been a number of disturbing incidents where firefighters have been killed and seriously burned with a charged hose line in their hands. If we are going to aggressively fight fire from the interior of buildings, then we had better get water on the seat of the fire. ...This business of penciling the stream intermittently, against the ceiling will only delay a flash over. We can only eliminate the source of flash over by getting water and plenty of it on the fuel that is vaporizing the flammable fire gases that are burning over our heads. And if your interior attack... Is delayed because of the wind, lack of staffing, or the size or height of a fire building. Whatever the reason, then you better get that water on the fire any way you can. If that means that you have to direct streams from outside of the building, then that's what you'll have to do. I know of no fire that got worse by directing a straight or solid stream from the outside. Now I'm not advocating that we routinely fight fires from outside the structure. I am advocating that you have to consider what's worse,. Attacking a fire from the outside and allowing that fire to burn and burn and burn endangering more occupants and further weakening the structure or you attempt an interior attack that is delayed for whatever the reason. I'm not gonna stand up here and tell you that today's fire service has put too much emphasis on. Rapid intervention teams, truck company operations, and emergency medical service, I'm not going there. I will stand here and tell you that we have put too little emphasis on basic engine company operations. I don't care if a fire department is accredited. And its personnel have a stack of certifications. All that is just fluff that looks good on paper. If this fire department fails at its most basic mission, that is, stretching a hose line and operating out on a fire, we have only so much time that we can devote to training. And some of that time is already taken up by things like. Blood borne pathogens and EMS continuing education. Topics that in of themselves are important, but take away from the time we have to practice stretching and advancing hose lines upstairs, down hallways and around corners. And there's nothing glamorous about hose management drills. It's physically demanding grunt work that takes skill and teamwork. And it's definitely not as fun as practicing with your bailout harness, is it? While we're on the subject of bailout harnesses, the fire service devotes a considerable amount of its resources and training hours on rapid intervention team and firefighter survival skills. Like escape harnesses. These, in and of themselves, are great and can save firefighters lives if they should get themselves in trouble. There's no argument there. No argument but if we got water on the fire and we spend as much time teaching firefighters how not to get in trouble as we for when they are in trouble. A lot of them wouldn't have gotten themselves in trouble in the first place. When you deprive firefighters operating inside a fire building a basic firefighter function such as getting water on the fire. Backup hose lines and raising ladders for an alternate means of egress, you almost guarantee that you're gonna need a rapid intervention team or they're gonna bail out a window, whether they have a harness or not. So that's the state of today's fire service as I see it, and the challenges that we face. And it's all not negative. Today's firefighter has never been more protected, with their clothing and breathing apparatus. And yes, things like escape harnesses. And I am confident that tomorrow's firefighter will even be safer. Why? Technology is on our side. I never dreamed that we'd be able to look, see through smoke with a thermal imaging camera, or that I could look up into my mask of my SCBA to determine my air supply, and the SCBA or the future will even be lighter and safer than today. Research is on our side, thanks to the tests being conducted by. But most importantly, most importantly, information is on our side like never before. So we can learn how to avoid tragedies without having to experience them ourselves. Information that is readily available to us in fire service magazines, the internet and conferences like FDIC. Y'all were very lucky. We're all very lucky because we have chosen to be fire fighters and being a firefighter is both an honor and a privilege it is an honor to wear those turnouts and that uniform and call ourselves fire fighters. And as you and I look around this room right now. And I know so many of the people in the audience. It is truly a privilege to serve with some of the finest people that God has ever put on this earth. Thank you, and may God bless you and keep you safe. [APPLAUSE]

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Ray Emery his starter on Tuesday afternoon. It'll be Emery's fifth straight game and his fourth start in the last five. Emery was the goalie of record in Chicago's 3-2 overtime win Sunday against San Jose, stopping 35 shots and improving his record this season to 6-1-2.
"He's played well all year," said coach Joel Quenneville. "He's earned the opportunity to keep on going. He's got the confidence, he's been productive and we want to keep it going as long as we can."
He made 42 saves in a 5-3 win against Minnesota as a member of the Ottawa Senators in November 2006 -- his lone career start against the Wild.
Here's how the rest of the Blackhawks -- and the Wild -- likely will look when they hit the ice here at the Xcel Energy Center (7:30 p.m. ET, Versus).

Skaneateles The Skaneateles Education Foundation is looking to accomplish big things — even bigger than they already have in four years of existence.
With that in mind, SEF board members recently held a weekend strategy retreat at Welch Allyn to set out the organization's vision as to where it will be in 2020 and how it can better accomplish its mission to solicit and manage charitable contributions and bequests for the benefit of student education.
"The retreat really gave us an opportunity to think outside of the box and allow ourselves to dream big and to say 'This is what we would like to be able to be doing for the schools seven years from now,'" said Sharon Magee, SEF executive director.
The Foundation raises funds to help support academics in the Skaneateles schools by contributing to curriculum development and enhancement of resources. Teachers or district officials apply for grants from the Foundation for specific academic projects. To date, the SEF has contributed more than $50,000 to the Skaneateles district for educational items or classes that otherwise would not have been funded.
The Nov. 3-4 strategy retreat was attended by about 80 percent of the SEF board of directors, as well as Skaneateles Board of Education Vice President Kathryn Carlson, the BOE liaison. Both days activities were led by former Welch Allyn CEO Julie Shimer, who has long experience facilitating such strategic retreats, Magee said.
The result of the retreat was the identification of three main outcomes for the future of the Foundation.
The first outcome was the desire to fund larger grants in the future, said SEF President Chris Bailey. SEF grants typically run to a few thousand dollars, depending on the project, but the possibility of bigger grants could hopefully go to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The Bridge Program, in three years, has grown from an idea of President Dana Mohler-Faria's into something that even he couldn't have envisioned.
The Bridge Program, in three years, has grown from an idea of President Dana Mohler-Faria's into something that even he couldn't have envisioned.
Dr. Laura Ramsey, assistant professor of psychology, has an article in Psychology of Women Quarterly. It contains the results of a study showing that men who objectify their female partners are more likely to coerce them into having sex.
In the article's abstract, Dr. Ramsey (with co-author Tiffany Holt) summed up the research findings:
On his television program, In Focus, Dr. Jabbar al-Obaidi, professor of communication studies, interviewed Dr. Mohamed Ali Alhakim, the Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations. The topics included the recent election, Iraq's relations with its neighbors, Isis and military operations past and present.

Students who live on or near Cape Cod will have the opportunity to stay local and graduate from Bridgewater State University, thanks to the opening in January of a new facility in Yarmouth.
As part of the university's mission, and spurred by President Dana Mohler-Faria who hails from the Cape, the new location off Route 28 will offer master's degrees, bachelor's degree completion in partnership with Cape Cod Community College, certificate and non-credit programs.
Roughly 150 alumni from Cape Cod filled a dining room at The Club at New Seabury in Mashpee to hear the latest news from President Dana Mohler-Faria. It was an afternoon of celebrating the past and looking ahead to a future likely dominated by much change.
It's been a busy summer here at BSU, with new construction, renovations to major buildings and general improvements around campus.
We asked Tom Telford, a project manager with the office of facilities management and planning, to take us for a tour to see what's going on. Quite a bit, it turns out.
It's hard to imagine anything good could have come out of 2013's Boston Marathon bombings. The terror of that day showed how vulnerable we are as a society. Yet for the students and faculty of Bridgewater State, it became a moment to shine and learn.
A delegation of three students in the Masters of Public Administration program have just returned from visiting Syrian and Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan. The group was led by Professor Deniz Zeynep Leuenberger, coordinator of the Center for Legislative Studies (CLS) Global Civic Leadership and Education Program and faculty director of the university's Institute for Policy Analysis and Regional Engagement.
Jorge Carlos Fonseca, president of the Republic Cabo Verde (Cape Verde), and First Lady Lígia Fonseca, were the guests of honor at a luncheon and reception hosted by BSU President Dr. Dana Mohler-Faria.
At the reception, held in the Heritage Room of the Maxwell Library, Dr. Joao Rosa, the founding executive director of the new Pedro Pires Institute for Cape Verdean Studies at Bridgewater, delivered introductory remarks:
Damon Theodule isn't sure what he wants to do after graduation. But the Taunton High student has a better idea now, after spending time on campus as part of the The Bridge to Employment (BTE) Program.
"I wanted to see what it was about, get the opportunity to work with these people and see what I want to do after high school," he said.
Bridgewater State University offers a comprehensive range of undergraduate, graduate, and evening degree programs. Centrally located and widely respected, Bridgewater is committed to making a challenging, high quality education accessible and achievable for students in the region and beyond.

George Osborne's autumn budget (which he curiously revealed in the bleak mid winter) has left much of the UK with a bit of a bitter taste in their mouths. So David Cameron has bravely taken it upon himself to put a smile back on our faces.
Feeling happier already? David Cameron dressed up as a pantomime horse this afternoon
In a plea to lighten the mood, the Prime Minister decided to dress us as a pantomime horse. No, we're not sure it's going to work either.

Ministry of funny walks? Cameron even attempted some Monty Python-inspired moves
Do I have to? However even the PM didn't seem very keen to put on the horse's head
We're not sure it's going to work, Dave (although it might have if you'd persuaded Osbourne to share the costume with you).
However, if the Tory party take it in turns to dress up as Santa and climb down our chimneys with a sack full of presents, they might be able to bring back just a little of the Christmas spirit that seems to be so lacking this December.

Helping Kids By Reducing the Demands on Working Memory
Posted by: Livia McCoy on Dec 13, 2011 in Middle School, Livia McCoy, Learning Disabilities, Kindergarten, Kids Writing, Kids Learning, Homework, Elementary School
Note: Please read Livia McCoy's earlier post that defines working memory, before reading this blog post. Otherwise, it may not make much sense!
Imagine that your daughter has not mastered cursive handwriting. This is a likely occurrence since we are not really teaching cursive handwriting anymore! For homework, she is asked to write a story about going to the homecoming dance, and her teacher mentioned today that she would no longer accept work written in manuscript.
Your daughter is hearing her teacher's voice, "Students, remember that all homework must be either typewritten or in cursive! No more printing. That's for younger students."
Your daughter begins working on the assignment, but she has difficulty coming up with the story. She spends all her time trying to figure out how to form the cursive letters (her brother is using the computer).
This is an example of how working memory space is completely filled up with the task of forming the letters, and there is no room left for actually coming up with the story.
How can this problem be solved? There are several things you might do to help your daughter.
Consider taking dictation for the story. This allows her to free up her working memory to be creative.
Have her copy the story in cursive. This allows her to use her working memory capacity to practice her cursive.
Use voice-to-text software. If this tends to be a reoccurring problem, she might benefit from using voice-to-text software to do the writing. This option does require a computer.
Make sure she's an expert computer user. Making sure she has access to a computer every day is very important for her.
We are learning more about working memory and how important it is for success in school. But, similar strategies to those mentioned here can help overcome working memory problems. It depends on what skills are deficient and occupying the working memory capacity.
Please share your own experiences: What strategies you have tried with your child that have been helpful?

New research findings on employee job satisfaction conducted by the Human Performance Institute have shown that free cafeteria food and flexible programs aren't enough. An employee's job satisfaction depends as much on the positive mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional resources the employee brings to the workplace, according to data gathered from 75,000 working adults on a three-year study of personal energy management and work-life balance.
"The people who score in the top 10 percent of job satisfaction report they are also taking care of themselves in the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical realms," says Dr. Jim Loehr, CEO of the Human Performance Institute in Orlando.
"Furthermore, people who report the highest job satisfaction are highly self-confident individuals," adds Loehr, who notes an 85% correlation between high job satisfaction and self-confidence. "They are not only satisfied with their jobs, they also feel competent in work and life. These two are mutually reinforcing."
The top 10 percent of people said they "agree" or "strongly agree" to the statement, "I am happy and satisfied in my job." They also exhibit positive energy management habits to a far greater degree than people in the bottom 10 percent of job satisfaction.
For instance, their average exercise and fitness score is 170 percent of those in the bottom 10 percent of job satisfaction. Their nighttime sleep score is 154 percent of those in the bottom 10 percent. Their overall rest and recovery, which includes daytime rest breaks and constructive diversions from work, is 149% of those with the lowest job satisfaction. Their nutrition is 126% of those in the lowest group. "These are individuals who have somehow found a way to harness their own sources of physical energy and motivation, in spite of the distracting environment in which most of us live today," Loehr says.
Even more dramatic are the differences in the two groups' management of "spiritual" energy-practices related to beliefs about the meaning of life. Those with the highest job satisfaction score about 250 percent higher on commitment, passion, self-confidence, vision, and purpose than those in the lowest 10 percent of job satisfaction.
"It is tempting, based on these numbers, to think that job satisfaction can be addressed through good candidate selection," Loehr adds. "And to some extent, it can. But employers get only one chance at good selection with each opening they fill, while they have a daily opportunity to encourage people towards practices that renew physical energy, and as well as the opportunity to encourage employees' self-confidence through training and recognition. If the tensions of the job take away energy, enthusiasm and time for self-renewal, the individual with high job satisfaction is at risk for becoming less engaged."
Human Performance Institute describes five ways employers can create a satisfying work environment:
1. Build employees' competence and self-confidence through training, feedback and recognition. "There is a very close relationship between high job satisfaction and feelings of effectiveness on the job," says Dr. Loehr. "Encouragement of genuine self-confidence is probably the number one way to achieve higher job satisfaction."
2. Communicate the value of the organization's products and services, and the role the organization plays in the marketplaces where it operates. "People with high job satisfaction also report an extraordinarily high sense of mission, vision and passion for their work," says Loehr. "They feel their work is consistent with their values. They couldn't achieve that feeling if their employers didn't enable them to get meaningful insight about the value they provide to customers."
3. Encourage and reward thoughtful risk-taking. "People with high job satisfaction also score high on the desire to try novel approaches, face challenges and perform problem-solving both individually and in groups," says Loehr. "They appear to have an appetite for mission-driven change. They also rate themselves very high on perseverance."
4. Encourage positive workplace relations. "People who are highly satisfied in their jobs report good feelings about their bosses, peers and coworkers," says Loehr. "Their feelings of opportunity are elevated, and they perceive a low hassle-factor."
5. Encourage meaningful rest breaks and light diversion. "High job satisfaction correlates strongly with the feeling of having fun at work," says Dr. Loehr. "Highly satisfied individuals also report that they find it easy to wake in the morning, and that their sleep is deep and restful." He adds: "This is consistent with our thirty years of research on world-class athletes. Top performers in every field know how to enhance performance through rest and recovery."

Dragged down by the turmoil in financial markets, energy prices tumbled Aug. 18 below week-ago levels in the New York market, wiping out gains from earlier this week.
"A weaker US dollar, partly the result of the Federal Reserve Bank's avowed intention to maintain a loose monetary policy, lent some support to the main crude benchmarks early on," said analysts at the Centre for Global Energy Studies (CGES), London. "However, the failure of French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel to offer concrete solutions to the problems in the Eurozone spooked investors across all sectors. These fears were compounded when it emerged that the European Commerce Bank had lent $500 million to a beleaguered European bank and by weak jobless data from the US."
CGES analysts said, "In addition to this crisis of confidence, there are also clear signs that oil demand is weakening. Ex-refinery deliveries of oil products in the US dropped year-on-year by over 280,000 b/d in the second quarter, while Chinese crude imports fell in July to their lowest level for 9 months." The only potential good news they reported is the Moammar Gadhafi regime might not be able to hold on after the reported capture of the Zawiya refinery by Libyan rebels.
In Houston, analysts with Raymond James & Associates Inc. reported, "A 9,000-person rise in jobless claims, a 0.5% consumer price index (CPI) increase, and global economic growth cuts by two bulge-bracket firms that sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average below the 11,000 mark (down nearly 4%) for the first time in five sessions. Crude followed suit, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) also down 6%, which sent the [SIG Oil Exploration & Production Index] EPX and the Oil Service Index down 7% apiece."
Olivier Jakob at Petromatrix in Zug, Switzerland, said, "Crude oil went to $130/bbl in the first half of 2011, and the world is falling towards recession in the second half of 2011." He said, "Our global theme throughout this year has been that the world economy was not fit enough to happily absorb oil prices above $100/bbl and the macroeconomic data is turning worse and worse."
The recent Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank survey on manufacturing and US leading indicators "was at the lowest level since March 2009 and was miles away from expectations, the CPI higher than expected, and now all the main financial institutions are revising down sharply their gross domestic product forecasts. Unemployment has already started to tick-up in France, and with the Fed surveys so low it is reasonable to expect an increase in US unemployment soon, something that will further hit consumer sentiment," Jakob said.
He said, "WTI prices have fallen sharply and are basically back to the range of 2010 but that will do very little to help the economy or consumer sentiment. The reason being that with the Brent premium to WTI reaching new record highs near $25/bbl, the price that the consumer pays for oil is providing no relief. We are gently moving out of the gasoline season and…heating oil prices will be at a record level for the winter. No significant price relief for the consumer or the industry there. Combine this with low consumer sentiment and no improvement or an increase in unemployment, and it is fair to assume that we have not yet left the demand destruction zone." Gasoline and heating oil are still not "cheap," especially with the current state of the economy, he said.
James Zhang at Standard New York Securities Inc., the Standard Bank Group, said, "Despite the sharp fall in flat prices, the term structures for Brent and WTI were firmer yesterday, signaling a still tight underlying physical market."
Zhang said, "We weren't confident about the recovery in risk-taking at the beginning of this week, as bond yields were still moving down. While the market is under huge pressure from a decelerating global economy, abundant liquidity could make a sharp rise in risk aversion fleeting, which almost ensures a period of high market volatility."
Zhang said, "For now, the oil market can draw some support from fairly tight supply-demand fundamentals and a further liquidity increase from possible policies like [a third round of quantitative easing (QE3)]. However, a recession in the US or Euro-zone, even a mild one, in the next 6 months would override these two supporting factors and cause a substantial fall in oil prices."
Adam Sieminski, chief energy economist, Deutsche Bank AG, Washington, DC, said, "Despite downgrades to US, European, and Asian growth this week, we believe Chinese oil stockpiling initiatives both on a commercial and strategic level may offset potential 'real' demand weakness this year as well as over the medium-term."
Energy prices
The September contract for benchmark US light, sweet crudes fell $5.20 to $82.38/bbl Aug. 18 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The October contract dropped $5.22 to $82.51/bbl. On the US spot market, WTI at Cushing, Okla., was down $5.20 to $82.38/bbl.
Heating oil for September delivery decreased 8.68¢ to $2.87/gal on NYMEX. Reformulated blend stock for oxygenate blending for the same month was down 8.71¢ to $2.78/gal.
The September contract for natural gas declined 4.1¢ to $3.89/MMbtu on NYMEX. On the US spot market, gas at Henry Hub, La., inched up 0.5¢ but was essentially unchanged at a rounded $3.98/MMbtu.
In London, the October IPE contract for North Sea Brent lost $3.61 to $106.99/bbl. Gas oil for September fell $25 to $911.50/tonne.
The average price for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' basket of 12 benchmark crudes dropped $1.46 to $105.42/bbl.

Tyche, the new ninth planet
John Matese and Daniel Whitmire, astrophysicists from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, think data gathered from NASA's Wise telescope will reveal a ninth planet orbiting in the Oort cloud, captured from another solar system by the sun's gravity.
Whether it would become the new ninth planet would be decided by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The main argument against is that Tyche probably formed around another star and was later captured by the Sun's gravitational field. The IAU may choose to create a whole new category for Tyche, Professor Matese said.
Tyche will almost certainly be made up mostly of hydrogen and helium and will probably have an atmosphere much like Jupiter's, with colourful spots and bands and clouds, Professor Whitmire said. "You'd also expect it to have moons. All the outer planets have them," he added.

"All the outer planets have them."
Don't fall prey to the pressure to have moons too soon, Tyche. You're different.
Tycho on
February 16th, 2011 at 11:22 am
I wonder why they strayed from the usual nomenclature of planets. Tyche seems to be paying tribute to Tycho Brahe, instead of the mythological gods like Mars, Pluto, Venus, etc.
Deron Bauman on
February 16th, 2011 at 11:24 am
To the Greeks, Tyche was the goddess responsible for the destiny of cities. Her name was provisionally chosen in reference to an earlier hypothesis, now largely abandoned, that the Sun might be part of a binary star system with a dim companion, tentatively called Nemesis, that was thought responsible for mass extinctions on Earth. In myth, Tyche was the good sister of Nemesis.

My maiden name is Hyche. I'm pretty sure they were aiming to name it after me and made a typo.
Kyle Anderson on
February 16th, 2011 at 6:01 pm
I agree with others… that Tyche is most likely the large dark object predicted for many years as the culprit (Nemesis) perturbing cometary nuclei in and around the Oort cloud and sending them Earthward. Its mass, if confirmed, may indicate that it is more stellar than planetary, like a brown dwarf or proto-star.
Tycho on
February 16th, 2011 at 8:04 pm
Well there we have it. Next time I will do better to do some digging!
Thanks, Deron.
Daryl Scroggins on

What I like to imagine is that the first visitor to our system–from another planetary system–will be a planet with a rich, but dead, archeology. What a lesson that could be: the story without the immediate threat; the call to humility, and perhaps greatness as well.

Wheels for Wellbeing in final of National Lottery Awards
South London charity for disabled cycling could achieve star status
Previous News
Next News
A disabled cycling charity has made it to the finals of the National Lottery Awards, which if it wins could see it catapulted into the spotlight with television coverage and extra cash.
Wheels for Wellbeing is a charity in Brixton that promotes disability cycling in south London.
The charity sets out to remove barriers to cycling for all, especially people with disabilities, running weekly inclusive cycling sessions for people to discover or rediscover the joy of cycling.
They campaign for planners, the cycle trade and the general cycling population to recognise non-traditional cyclists' needs, so cycling can become a regular, mainstream activity for all.
Here's a video with more about their work:
The semi final round of public voting is complete, and Wheels for Wellbeing is in the top three in its category.
The competiton will now progress to the final round of public voting.
The project with the most votes in each category will be declared the winner.
A spokeswoman for the charity said: "Thanks to all of you who voted and got friends and family to vote for us; we had a total of 1,486 votes.
"The final round of voting will be taking place in Autumn which, if we should win, we will be awarded a cash prize as well as some much needed television exposure."
The National Lottery Awards are an annual search to find the UK's favourite Lottery-funded projects. Lottery players raise £30 million each week for projects all across the UK.
Since The National Lottery began in 1994, over 370,000 grants have been given out across the arts, sport, heritage, charities, health, education and the environment.
In addition to the Lottery funding they have already been awarded, the winners will each receive a £2,000 cash prize to spend on their project.

The Bookworm: The queen of coupons and the king of rock & roll
"The Coupon Mom's Guide to Cutting Your Grocery Bills in Half"
by Stephanie Nelson
For about a year now, you've tightened your belt, hard. You've stretched your pennies 'til Abe screams. But careful personal tracking has shown that there's room for financial improvement. Take, for instance, your grocery bill: it's taking up a good chunk of your household budget. You can live without vices and other cash-wasters, but eating is a habit you'll never break.
Yet, just like you've slashed other expenses, there's got to be a way to save at the supermarket. A good place to start is by reading "The Coupon Mom's Guide to Cutting Your Grocery Bills in Half," by Stephanie Nelson. With this book in hand and a pair of scissors, you'll bag a surprising amount of savings.
Even in a down economy, your time is worth something, right? So, how would you like to make $400 an hour? Nelson says it's possible. With just 15 minutes of effort, you can save $100 a week or more on your family's food bill. But it's going to take some groundwork.
First, Nelson says, know what kind of shopper you are. Busy Shoppers barely have time to get to the store, much less plan. With this book, Busy Shoppers will learn to save up to 25 percent off their food bills.
Rookie Shoppers are interested in saving, and have a little more time to spare. More planning time means Rookies can save up to 50 percent on their grocery trips.
Varsity Shoppers are the coupon world's go-getters: they know how to use coupons and other methods to save on groceries. This book will fine-tune those skills and add others to the cash-off equation, for savings of up to 70 percent.
Next, learn to efficiently track sales of your most-purchased items. As you're tracking, ask about your favorite store's policies on coupon redemption. Find out how to combine coupons, double your discounts, and get free, full-size products. Become a member of your store's Shoppers Club. Never throw away coupon fliers, even if they're not useful today. Sign up for helpful Web sites like couponmom.com or visit corporate sites often.
And really… never, ever shop on an empty stomach.
Although a lot of what you'll find in "The Coupon Mom's Guide to Cutting Your Grocery Bills in Half" is common-sense stuff your mama should've told you, I liked this book. I tried a few things Nelson mentioned – shopping at a drugstore instead of a grocery store, for one – and I did save money. But there were things that weren't fully addressed in this book; mainly, what to slash when there is no major chain store nearby and no double discount days. Much of Nelson's strategy assumes that stores' policies are alike around the country, which is, alas, not usually the case.
Even so, I think this book (which includes helpful resources and dollar-stretching recipes) can teach shoppers to think differently when it comes to turning pennies-off coupons into dollar bills. For under $20 – definitely not a budget-buster – "The Coupon Mom's Guide to Cutting Your Grocery Bills in Half" just makes cents.
"Elvis: My Best Man"
by George Klein with Chuck Crisafulli
The organ starts to play and you're nervous. You shouldn't be, though. You're in love and this quickly-assembled Las Vegas wedding proves it. You've got the minister who barely knows you and you're standing in a chapel you've never seen before. If that's not love, what is? You've even got Elvis holding the wedding ring.
No, not someone who looks like Elvis. The real Elvis, and he paid for the wedding, just as he paid for your nose. His generosity didn't surprise you, though. It's something a guy gets used to, as you'll see in the new book "Elvis: My Best Man," by George Klein with Chuck Crisafulli.
When George Klein was young, he was fascinated with music and the radio DJs that played it. Moreover, he was fascinated by an emerging fad called rock & roll. Klein knew he wanted to be part of that, and it set the course of his life. Though he'd gone to school with Elvis Presley, it was through radio that he got to know Presley well. And when Klein lost that coveted radio job, Elvis spontaneously stepped in and hired him as a "traveling companion."
Elvis' mother didn't want her son in an airplane, so Elvis and Klein traveled by car and train to concerts (the rest of the entourage often caught flights). Because they shared rooms, as well as time, the two became close. Klein supported the singer, counseled him, and brought girls to hotel parties, held with chaste kisses and no alcohol.
The support went both ways. Whenever Klein felt the pull of radio, Elvis always urged him to return to that career, but with an open-door invitation: Klein could return to the fold any time. And he did. Who could give up the life of a king?
Elvis Presley, says Klein, was the kind of guy who gave people cars and posed for nervous fans' cameras. He was a gentlemanly ladies' man who respected his date's privacy. But Elvis was easily angered, quickly jealous, and his mood could go dark in a blink. He was a star and demanded treatment as such, but Klein stuck by him, as friends do. Then, in a quirk-of-fate, circle-of-life way, Klein learned from a radio DJ that his friend was dead.
I find it amazing that, 30-plus years after Presley's death, people are still writing books about him. In the case of "Elvis: My Best Man," I'm glad.
Not just another my-friend-Elvis memoir, this book is really only half-dedicated to Presley. In addition to anecdotes and little-known insider tidbits about Elvis, authors George Klein and Chuck Crisafulli also tell the story of rock & roll and the birth of a kind of radio we can't imagine living without. What makes this story wonderful is that it's lively, gently told, and not one bit pandering.
If "Long live the King" is your mantra and you can't help falling in love with books about him, you'll definitely want this one. Missing this "Elvis: My Best Man" might make you get all shook up.
The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. She has been reading since she was 3 years old and never goes anywhere without a book. Terri lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 11,000 books.

You can prime your beer with any fermentable that you want. Any sugar: white cane sugar, brown sugar, honey, molasses, even maple syrup can be used for priming. The darker sugars can contribute a subtle aftertaste (sometimes desired) and are more appropriate for heavier, darker beers. Simple sugars, like corn or cane sugar, are used most often though many brewers use dry malt extract too. Ounce for ounce, cane sugar generates a bit more carbon dioxide than corn sugar, and both pure sugars carbonate more than malt extract, so you will need to take that into account. Honey is difficult to prime with because there is no standard for concentration. The gravity of honey is different jar to jar. To use honey, you will need to dilute it and measure its gravity with a hydrometer. For all sugars in general, you want to add 2-3 gravity points per gallon of beer to prime.
Be aware that malt extract will generate break material when boiled, and that the fermentation of malt extract for priming purposes will often generate a krausen/protein ring around the waterline in the bottle, just like it does in your fermenter. Simple sugars don't have this cosmetic problem and the small amount used for priming will not affect the flavor of the beer.

Some Important Root Words for GRE Wordlist
GRE Root Words
We can define root word as a word that has a prefix, suffix, or both attached to it. Numbers of words are formed with a root or base word and a prefix. Some words also consist of a suffix. For example, the root word apt means fit. Attach the prefix ad and you have the word adapt means to fit (prefix ad means to). Now let's attach the suffix able (meaning able to be) and you have adaptable.
Words prefix and suffix themselves good example of prefix and suffix. Pre ( before) and fix (fasten or attach) so Prefix is a word that attached to the beginning(before) of some other words. Suf is another alternative of sub means below or under. In this case I would say suffix is something that attaches to behind of the root or base. Common roots and prefixes (and a few suffixes) are useful tool to determine the meaning of unknown words almost immediately. (But do look them up in dictionary for confirmation)
Root cent
Meaning one hundred
Illustration century: one hundred years
entennial: one hundredth anniversary
entipede: many-footed animal
Root chron
Meaning time
Illustration chronic: long lasting
anachronistic: out of date
chronology :timetable of events
Root Bio
Meaning life
Illustration biogenetic: development of life from life that exists
biogeny: development of life
biology: study of living things
Root Alter

Illustration alternate: that exchange with something else
alternatively: one after other at regular interval
Root Cur

sinecure: position without responsibility

Illustration confine: keep within limits
