ROSEMONT, Ill. – The focus was on Indiana during Thursday's Big Ten Basketball Media Day at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare, and for good reason.
With all five starters returning, the Hoosiers are almost everybody's pick to win the conference championship this season, and center Cody Zeller is the Big Ten's Preseason Player of the Year.
No doubt, the Hoosiers have the bullseye squarely on their backs, something coach Tom Crean doesn't mind. In fact, Crean says it's good for college basketball when Indiana, Kentucky and Louisville are mentioned among the nation's elite, which is the case this season.
Crean says it has been a long journey, just as it was a long journey for Purdue to return to the high-rent district after Brian Cardinal graduated in 2000. From 2001 through 2006, the Boilermakers made exactly one NCAA tournament appearance. Now, they've made six in a row.
Most of Thursday's media chatter surrounding the Boilermakers was about Painter's freshman class, which he believes has the potential to be just as good the 2007 class, which included E'Twaun Moore, JaJuan Johnson, Robbie Hummel and Scott Martin.
But as Painter was quick to point out, "don't put them in the Hall of Fame just yet."
Painter said he likes this team's pieces very much but doesn't care for its inexperience. At least two freshmen could be in the starting lineup – point guard Ronnie Johnson and power forward Donnie Hall. And there may be more.
Obviously, Michigan, Ohio State and Michigan State will be the primary IU chasers, but Purdue could make some noise in Big Ten season if these freshmen are as good as advertised.

Sorry seems to be the hardest word: Why Abdel Hakim Belhaj was never going to get an apology
Given the history of political apologies, the chances of Abdel Hakim Belhaj ever getting an apology for his extraordinary rendition and torture were slim
Last week, an interesting revelation in an ongoing legal case against the UK government for assistance in the extraordinary rendition of Abdul Hakim Belhaj, and his wife Fatima Bouchar, was widely reported; Belhaj offered to settle the case for £3 and an apology. What were the chances that the accused would accept? Given the history of political apologies, I'd say very slim.
In March 2004, Belhaj, former commander of the Libyan Islamic Fighter Group, a significant influence in the recent civil war, was en route to the UK with Bouchar when they underwent an allegedly UK informed and US perpetrated extraordinary rendition. After apparently having been told that they would be granted passage to the UK without passport or visa, the two had embarked on a flight from Malaysia due to stop off in Bangkok. When it did stop in Bangkok, they were kidnapped, questioned and severely beaten by CIA personnel before being taken to Libya where, under Gaddafi's regime, they were imprisoned for over six years and apparently tortured regularly.
Since the fall of Gaddafi, documents have surfaced that, according to Belhaj and his supporters, plainly outline assistance and complicity on the part of former Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, and then head of MI6's counter-terrorism unit, Sir Mark Allen. Last week, Belhaj, who launched legal proceedings against the two men and the British government last year, offered in a letter addressed to Cameron, Straw and Allen to settle the case for a token £1 from each, and a formal apology within a week.
A remarkably similar case, that of Sami al-Saadi's extraordinary rendition, concluded last year with the UK government shelling out a £2.2m settlement, but not accepting liability. Belhaj, unlike al-Saadi, gave the government a unique opportunity to save potentially millions of pounds by just admitting liability. If the government has any difficulty proving that they are not liable and need to go to the expense of a trial to do so, and given that we see politicians apologising in news reports fairly regularly, would it be reasonable to presume that given the chance to, the accused would apologise in this case? After all, it could save potentially millions of taxpayers' money. A closer look into what our beloved elected representatives tend to apologise for would say that such a presumption would be ill-informed.
I can't have been the first person to notice that senior politicians jump at the opportunity to apologise for events that are long since passed, and that they personally had no hand or involvement in whatsoever; but when opportunities to apologise for events in which it could be argued that they hold some responsibility present themselves, it seems as though they are simply ignored.
There are myriad examples. David Cameron has been the master of apology since he took office. His most significant apologies have been for the 1972 'Bloody Sunday' shootings, the 1989 murder of Pat Finucane and the Hillsborough Disaster of the same year. Gordon Brown in 2010 made an unreserved apology for the deportation of poor children to former colonies from the 1920s to 1960s; and Tony Blair, in 2000, apologised to the 'Guildford Four' – four men who were wrongly convicted of being involved with IRA bomb attacks in 1974, whose convictions were eventually overturned and who were consequently released in 1989.
I am not for one minute saying that these apologies shouldn't have been made. Even though David Cameron was only five years old when the Bloody Sunday shootings occurred, he is now the top representative of the UK government and thus has the responsibility to speak for both its past and present actions. The same, I believe, is true of anyone in an elected position; for instance, William Hague must currently speak for the UK's past and present foreign activity. However, this is not to say that elected representatives should be allowed to pass responsibility of their past actions onto those who follow them in office.
Indeed, in the pursuit of democracy accountability is key, and engaging in this sort of 'pass-the-buck' activity undermines this fundamental democratic value. The responsibility not to pass the buck is woefully neglected by some politicians who cynically put their own interests above those of the electorate, and sometimes, justice. Take Blair's refusal to apologise for the Iraq War, take the absence of apology from the UK government over any number of Guantanamo Bay cases, take the apprehension of politicians to admit collusion with Murdoch's media empire.
Under this light, should anyone have expected that Belhaj would get an apology in place of potentially millions of tax payers' money? I'd say not. Perhaps in 30 or 40 years someone who is currently learning to tie their shoelaces will apologise.Tagged in: Abdel Hakim Belhaj

It was Stephen Hawking who first got me thinking about this issue, when he explained clearly and concisely to the BBC that mankind had no option but to get to space as quickly as possible and start doing things up there that we have been doing on planet Earth, but in a much more efficient manner. Our population is now heading to 9 billion people by the middle of this century -- that's three times more than when I was born. With the end of the oil era approaching, and climate change progressing faster than most models have been predicting, the utilisation of space is essential not only for communications but also for the logistics of survival

REVIEW: The Best Man in Texas by Tanya Michaels
Dear Ms. Michaels:
I admit to being a little leery when I picked this book out to read. The story begins with the heroine engaged to a man not the hero. To make matters worse, the hero and the fiance are best friends. On the one hand this meant the fiance wouldn't be demonized but on the other, there are a whole host of issues from what kind of person falls in and out of love and back in again in the course of a short novel to the kind of fall out between the hero and his best friend.
Brooke Nichols grew up in an unstable household. Her parents were prone to dramatic displays of emotion. Her sister flits from one interest to another (in this book she has decided she wants to be a private investigator). When she met Gifford Baker, he exuded characteristics which she had always longed for: strong connections with his family, stability, dependability, decency. That he was handsome and wealthy made it easy for Brooke to say yes when Giff asked her to marry him after dating for two months.
Only Giff's best friend dares to challenge this match. Initially Jake, who had been away during the time Giff was dating Brooke, questions Giff in a really awkward scene. Giff brings Jake to a restaurant to meet Brooke and Brooke goes to the restroom. Jake takes the opportunity to ask Giff if he really knows what he is doing. Unfortunately, Brooke is back before Jake's inquisition starts. Brooke tries to laugh it off "I"m sure we'll look back on this moment and laugh." Giff gamely jumps in "Say, on our fiftieth wedding anniversary, when we've show Jake how needless his worrying was."
What worked here was that Jake is not instantly attracted to Brooke, and that Brooke, while recognizing what a hunk Jake is (Mr. July in the calendar), is as unethused about Jake.
But Jake is as close to Giff as a brother and Brooke is Giff's fiance and so Giff asks both of them to make an effort to get to know each other. Giff is busy with his job and suggests that Jake take Brooke to a concert. Jake does and begins to get to know Brooke. The more that he sees of Brooke, the more convinced he is that Brooke isn't in love with Giff and that she isn't the right person for Giff. What sucks is that Jake starts to think that Brooke is the right person for him.
Jake struggles with trying to do what he thinks is best for Giff and then later, what he thinks is best for Brooke which is not marrying Giff.
Brooke is at first angered and then hurt when confronted with Jake's suggestions that perhaps what she is seeking from Giff is safety rather than love. Jake's suggestion that this isn't fair to either Giff or Brooke hits home. Has all she been doing in life is taking the path of least resistance, not actually living, for fear of ending up with a life of turmoil like her parents.
Jake is the straight man to Brooke's uncertain character. He has little character growth, but instead provides the contrast for Brooke. Brooke has only seen how impulsivity leads to ostracization. More than anything she has wanted to fit it and belong. Jake shows that there can be a balance between taking chances and being out of control.
These characters seemed vivid to me. I could imagine them living next door and telling me their love story over cocktails. It was realistic and ordinary yet emotional. Importantly there was no cheating, not even emotionally I felt, even though the couple does kiss before Brooke breaks it off with Giff.
I didn't think I would like this story but the characters pulled it out although I clearly see a future romance between solid Giff and the undecided sister of Brooke. B-

California law pertaining to midwifery licensure requires graduation from an approved midwifery education program that is a minimum of three years in duration, unless the student completes a challenge process approved by the Medical Board of California. Nizhoni Institute of Midwifery recognizes that, because of personal illness, pregnancy, family emergencies or other considerations, a student may need additional time to complete all graduation requirements beyond the three-year minimum specified by California state law. Students are allowed up to six years from the original date of enrollment to complete the program. After completion of the thirty-seven month didactic portion of the midwifery education program, students who need additional time to complete academic and/or clinical program requirements are required to:
a . Maintain current records with their clinical preceptor regarding progress through the program, including clinical skills satisfactorily completed.
b. Meet by phone, electronically or in person with the Executive Directors once each month to discuss their progress through the program.
c. Participate in a formal review of progress with the Executive Directors once each quarter.
Failure to complete the midwifery education program within six years of the original date of enrollment results in automatic withdrawal from the program. Students who must withdraw for failure to complete the program within six years and who still desire to pursue studies at Nizhoni Institute of Midwifery must apply for readmission and will be required to retake the entire program. These students are not eligible for advanced placement.
Academic performance may be assessed via a standard percentage grading system, i.e., 90-100% is an A, 80-89% is a B, etc. or as "Passed" or "Not Passed." "Passed" is equivalent to a grade of 80%. A student who does not achieve a score of 80% or above or pass an assignment in a module does not pass the module and must complete an Individualized Learning Contract (ILC) for that module. Refusal to comply with the terms of an ILC is grounds for the student to be withdrawn from the program.
A student who demonstrates exceptional scholarship or achievement in a module may be assigned a grade of Honors for an assignment, equivalent to a grade of 95%.
Examinations on course material are given periodically. Open-book examinations may be administered electronically or as non-proctored pencil-and-paper exams. Examinations are also administered periodically as closed-book, timed tests within the classroom setting. Closed-book examinations are graded and results are made available to the students. A passing examination grade is 80% or higher. If a student does not pass an examination, the exam will be retaken once at a time agreed upon by the student and faculty member. If the student does not pass the examination a second time, the student must complete an ILC and fulfill its terms in order to receive credit for that module.
Academic evaluation is based on assessment of the learning activities specified within each module:
a. Class participation
b. Examinations
c. Student research projects
d. Simulation exercises and group processes
e. Oral presentations
f. Written presentations
g. Skills demonstrations
h. Diagramming, labeling and construction projects
i. Problem-based learning activities
j. Case studies
Student clinical performance is assessed as "Passed" or "Not Passed" using the skills defined by Nizhoni Institute of Midwifery, the North American Registry of Midwives, the Midwives Alliance of North America and the Medical Board of California. A student is deemed to have passed a clinical skill when s/he can perform or demonstrate a skill with confidence and without guidance from the preceptor. A clinical skill should not be assessed as "Passed" if the student requires step-by-step direction or correction of the skill in order to perform it correctly.
Academic progress is tracked within the program and is confidential. Results are available electronically or by paper to students within at the end of each module. Information regarding an individual student's academic progress includes scores and grade point average for the most recently completed module, cumulative grade point average, calculated percentages of classroom and clinical attendance where applicable, current academic status (Good Standing or Academic Probation) and feedback regarding recommendations for improvement. Annual performance evaluations are conducted between the students and the Executive Directors. Evaluations are signed by the student and evaluator(s) and documented in the student's academic file.

Hi, hopefully someone can help me out..
I plan to fly into Singapore and then head to Kuala Lumpur heading north still I plan to visit Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam and then return to Singapore to catch my flight back home... I've got 30 days in total of travel when I arrive in Singapore - can someone suggest a detailed itinerary which is rather varied but hits the main sites...
I've been to Thailand before but only to Bangkok and Phuket...
I need a Visa for Vietnam - which I have to collect next week but for Laos and Cambodia I still need to get - am I correct in saying I can obtain a Visa for Laos in Bangkok or can you get this at the border ?
(I was hoping to get a E-Visa for Cambodia) but I noticed there are rules on entry/exit so it would be useful if anyone can identify an itinerary which takes that into consideration.
Thanks I really appreciate this so much!

Hi Simon,
A good place to start would be the Suggested Itineraries - there's lots of info in there including estimated times betweens destinations etc -- should be handy in figuring out what you can and cannot fit in.
Visas for both Laos and Cambodia you can get on arrival at the border, or beforehand at their respective embassies in Bangkok.

this wiki
Elizabeth Cutler was a crewmember and an entomologist assigned to the Enterprise NX-01 in the early 2150s.
In 2151, Curler participated in her first away mission when T'Pol requested her assistance on the planet that became Archer IV. While on the planet, Cutler was exposed to tropolisine, but fortunately for her, was not psychologically affected by the compound before being successfully treated by Dr. Phlox. Later that year, as part of her training as a medic, Cutler accompanied Phlox to the planet Valakis to assist in treatment of the Valakians. The two studied the differences between the Valakians and the Menk.
In February 2152, Cutler assisted in the initiation of Phlox's yearly hibernation requirement while the crew partook of shore leave in orbit of Risa. She acted as Chief Medical Officer for a time, but was unable to treat Travis Mayweather, and Phlox had to be awoken to assist.

Feb. 2, 2011
The Auburn soccer program received five signed National Letters of Intent on Wednesday to cap off another successful recruiting period for head coach Karen Hoppa's program. Signing papers to join the program in the fall of 2011 were Jessica Clanton (Mililani, Hawaii/Hanalani), Tatiana Coleman (Boca Raton, Fla./West Boca Community), Chelsea Gandy-Cromer (Norcross, Ga./Greater Atlanta Christian), Tess Patton (Gainesville, Ga./North Hall) and Morgan Samples (Avondale, Pa./Kennett).
The five-member class comes from four states (Florida, Georgia, Hawaii and Pennsylvania) and focuses completely on the offensive side of the field as all five can play either forward or in the midfield.
"We needed offense with our 2011 class and that's what we got," Hoppa said. "We signed five very attacking minded players. They all can play either midfield or forward for us and will add tremendous depth to our attack. We are looking forward to them joining our team."

The Girls' Guide to Girl Scouting
The Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting is available in our three council shops and on our online store! Each Girl Scout level has its own Girl's Guide, presented in a colorful standard-size binder.
With the Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting, girls will have many relevant, age-appropriate badges to complete and enjoy, including badges that honor the heritage of Girl Scouts while offering contemporary skill-building activities.
The guide is broken into three sections:
- Handbook
- Badges
- My Girl Scouts
More specifically, the Girl's Guide includes the grade-level handbook; requirements for Legacy, Financial Literacy, and Cookie Business badges, and Make Your Own badges; information about earning Bridging and Bronze, Silver, and Gold awards (for Juniors through Ambassadors); and accessory pages such as scrapbooking pages.
Each badge has five steps. Girls complete all five to earn the badge. (There are three choices for completing each step. Girls need only do one.) The five steps vary depending on the skill girls are learning. All physical badges are purchased separately.
Read more about the Girl's Guide at GSUSA's website.
The National Program: What Girls Do
The Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting works with national leadership journeys to add skill-building to the leadership skills girls learn through the three keys of Discover, Connect, and Take Action. To build specific skills, the national proficiency badge categories include Legacy, Financial Literacy, Cookie Business, Skill-Building, and Make Your Own badges.
Below, based on age level, is a girl's option to choose a journey with the Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting:
- What Daisies Do
- What Brownies Do
- What Juniors Do
- What Cadettes Do
- What Seniors Do
- What Ambassadors Do
Looking for MORE Ways to Build Skills? Badge Sets:
Skill-Building Badge Activity sets for Brownies through Seniors can be added to the Girl's Guide. A set includes the requirements for badges tied to each of the three journeys. They offer great examples of ways to incorporate the skills while on a Journey, but can also be used on their own!
Girl Scout Daisy
- Daisies do not have additional badge skill sets. Daisies will have a special approach. They will continue to earn Petals with new stories and activities and can now earn Financial Literacy and Cookie Business "Leaves" to go with their Petals.
Girl Scout Brownie

Savanna Austin celebrates with teammates as West Henderson wins over visiting Enka in second round action of state 3A volleyball playoffs Tuesday.
- Filed Under
As the adage goes, beating a team three times in one season is hard.
But there's not much that West Henderson struggles with on a volleyball court, either.
The Falcons needed a little more than 70 minutes Tuesday to blank visiting Enka, 3-0 (25-17, 25-17 and 25-18), in the second round of the NCHSAA 3-A playoffs. ...

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Lung Cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women, yet is considered to be one of the most preventable diseases with 80 to 90 percent of cases caused by smoking. Cigarette smoke also harms nonsmokers, causing approximately 3,000 deaths in America each year.
By quitting or avoiding secondhand smoke you can significantly reduce your risk of developing lung cancer and other chronic diseases. Ditch the sticks and indulge in the crisp, fresh air of fall instead.
The CDC has several smoking cessation resources to help you or a loved one to nix the nasty habit, including a free hotline, multiple guides and real-life stories as a part of their Tips from Real Smokers campaign. Plus, find out more about Lung Cancer and its causes.

Traffic note: Not West Seattle, but you might want to knowJune 16, 2014 at 7:49 pm | In Not WS but we're mentioning it anyway, West Seattle news | 7 Comments
7:49 PM: Since this might not be a time of day when you usually check out regional news outlets, we're mentioning this too: I-5 southbound is closed at the Ship Canal Bridge because of a law-enforcement investigation. Vehicles that were on the bridge at the time are being turned around and cleared off, and radio discussion indicates it'll be closed for quite a while. So if you are headed this way from north of downtown, make your way to 99, or else way over to 405 and 90. The investigation involves an incident reported to have started as a vehicle fire on that bridge and turned into a state trooper shooting a man – details are still emerging.
8:01 PM: WSDOT has opened the southbound I-5 express lanes to help with the traffic backlog.
10:07 PM: State Patrol tweeted a few minutes ago that the closure isn't ending any time soon:
The incident on the Ship Canal covers all lanes and is very extensive. Expect the road to remain closed for several more hours.
— Trooper Chris Webb (@wspd2pio) June 17, 2014
11:48 PM: That turned out not to be the case. Just reopened:
South bound I-5 at the Ship Canal bridge has reopened for normal traffic following the earlier investigation.

Went to the dentist in Greenlake. Guess I get to hang out with friends longer and have ice cream now!

My wife was just stuck in that traffic. Says a bus was involved in a nasty accident.
Comment by Rick Steel — 8:12 pm June 16, 2014 #
Is this the guy on the bridge who drew a circle and wouldn't met people pass?
Comment by Sara — 9:25 pm June 16, 2014 #
Saw your RT of the SPD saying they had ordered all draw bridges remain lowered (https://twitter.com/seattlepd/status/478749877233397760). I thought Coast Guard had sole authority over draw bridges. If municipal authorities can order draw bridges to stay lowered, why not do so at other times as warranted (e.g., rush hour)?
Comment by Ben — 9:29 pm June 16, 2014 #
Ben, that caught my attention too. Tonight isn't the night for me to ask about it but tomorrow I will bring it to CM Rasmussen's attention, since it's an issue he's worked on for a long time.
Rick, no, it wasn't a bus crash, unless one happened – hope not – on a side street related to the traffic diversion.
Sara – I have heard the circle aspect in one report so far. Yes, same incident. http://www.kirotv.com/news/news/i-5-south-closed-after-shooting/ngMQk/
Tracy, thanks for following up (at a suitable time) about draw bridge authority!

I am a Scandal fan this episode was junk please get back to the mind blowing thriller that I'm use too.
Will there be anew episode to iChat 4/18/13?
I am a Scandal fan here in Canada--Montreal. I truly enjoy the episodes and I have to keep up with the pace.Therefore, I watch each episode at least twice. The Gladiators inspire my interest because in today's world there are not many
so called good forces or so it seems. To see them reach a solution is inspiring. Each case is complicated and makes me think. And of course I am a great fan of Fitz and Olivia --how could you not be? Such passion and love is heart touching. Life's complexities are at the core of life---- feelings are forever a challenge for the human being. How we complicate our lives!!!!!!!!! It never ceases to amaze me!!!!! Now Jake and Olivia have slept together--another complication for Olivia!!!!! I look forward to another season but it seems too far away. I do not tweet but I enjoy researching extra information about the themes of this show!!!!!
I would like to see Liv and Fitz relationship continue they are the heart of the show, the whole cast is great.,love my gladiators

Checking in from the Other Side!
October 29th, 2012 by Lotus Bud
Hey Garden! I know, I know. It's been a crazy few weeks. A funny thing happens to you after you say "I do". All of a sudden, it's all over. You're exhausted, and you have nothing to do or plan anymore. It's a crazy feeling. For me, this lasted for about a month, and I thoroughly enjoyed coming home on a week night, propping my feet up and losing myself in absolutely nothing.
Married life is great. It's better than you think it could be. It's harder than you ever thought. But it's wonderful and satisfying and feels so, well, right.
I've missed all the wedding stuff though! So, I'm excited to be back and sharing recaps of our perfectly-perfect day. I know that I skipped a lot of things here on my way to "I do" so let's catch up, shall we? For now, I'm going to leave you with one sneak peek from the best day of our lives. <3

1. TV Reacts to Paris Attacks
The deadly terrorist attacks in the city of Paris, France got a quick reaction from American TV networks — and not just in the way they organized news coverage. U.S. TV networks also reacted by pulling episodes of entertainment shows whose plots involved terrorism in major cities. For example, CBS replaced an episode of "Supergirl," in which a city is protected from a series of bombings, with a Thanksgiving-oriented episode. "NCIS: Los Angeles" replaced an episode in which a teenage girl is recruited by terrorists with one involving the search for a missing woman. "Saturday Night Live," meanwhile, skipped its usual opening monologue and substituted a message of support to Paris. The attacks on Paris have heightened concerns about fighting terrorism and stopping terrorist groups like ISIS, which has taken responsibility for the Paris attacks. In the newspaper or online, closely read stories about the latest developments regarding the Paris attacks and those responsible. Use what you read to summarize the three most important developments of recent days.
Common Core State Standards: Reading closely what a text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; writing informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly; citing specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions.
2. New 'Star Wars' Video Game
Just before the opening of the movie "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," the entertainment franchise is unveiling a new video game, "Star Wars Battlefront." Critics are acclaiming its photorealistic graphics. The new game, published by Electronic Arts, allows players to engage in pivotal battle scenes depicted in the three original "Star Wars" movies. Electronic Arts has increased its sales estimate for the game in the current fiscal year to 13 million units. "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is expected to be a major hit in the holiday movie season. And whenever there's a major movie, there are lots of product tie-ins and promotions that go with it. In the newspaper or online, find and read a story about product tie-ins and promotions connected to the new "Star Wars" movie or to other holiday movies. Pick one you think sounds cool — or silly — and write a "review" of it in the style of a newspaper entertainment critic. Give specific reasons to support your opinions.
Common Core State Standards: Writing opinion pieces on topics or texts, supporting a point of view with reasons and information; citing specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions.
3. 600-Year-Old Shipwreck
An old shipwreck unearthed in the mud of a river near Southampton, England, is probably the Holigost, which played a role in two sea battles that enabled British King Henry V to conquer territory in France in the 15th century. If recovered safely and verified, the ship will be preserved for display in the nearby city of Portsmouth. Estimated at 100 feet long and 40 feet wide, the Holigost — or Holy Ghost — was considered one of the four "great ships" of Henry V's navy. It had a crew of 200, plus seven cannons, among other weapons. It was designed to carry several hundred soldiers in addition to the crew. Henry V is the title character in William Shakespeare's famous play, "Henry V," which deals with his war against France. Shipwrecks give archaeologists and historians a great way to study the past, because water or mud can preserve them and their contents. In the newspaper or online, find and closely read a story about a discovery by archaeologists. Use what you read to brainstorm an idea for a short video or film about the discovery. Write an outline for your film, including visual images you would use. Then write the opening scene in the form of a screenplay.
Common Core State Standards: Writing narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events; conducting short research projects that build knowledge about a topic; reading closely what a text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it.
4. Walgreen's Acquiring Rite-Aid
This is big news in the drugstore world: Walgreen's is acquiring Rite-Aid, and the buy-out will create the nation's largest drugstore chain. They had been the nation's second and third largest drugstore chains, after CVS Health Corp. The $17.2 billion deal will give Walgreen's about 12,800 locations across the U.S. The deal is expected to yield more than $1 billion in savings by eliminating cost overlaps. When one business acquires another, it's big news because it affects employees, consumers and whole communities. In the newspaper or online, find and closely read a story about a business acquisition, or a business merger. Use what you read to write a paragraph or short essay outlining the benefits of the acquisition or merger, and any possible negative effects on employees, consumers or the community.
Common Core State Standards: Producing clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization and style are appropriate to the task; reading closely what a text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; conducting short research projects that build knowledge about a topic.
5. A Book About Standing in Line
Someone has written a book about the stressful and frustrating act of waiting in line. Called "Why Does the Other Line Always Move Faster?" it promises to reveal "The Myths and Misery, Secrets and Psychology of Waiting in Line," as its subtitle declares. The book is by David Andrews, and the 33-year-old author knows a lot about waiting in line — or in "the queue" as lines are known in European nations like Romania, where he grew up. His parents were missionaries in Romania, and people "stood in long lines for everything," he recalls. Later, he experienced more lines in the U.S. Navy, waiting for meals, medical checkups and more, he says. Andrews' book about waiting line takes a creative look at an everyday thing. In the newspaper or online, find and closely read a story about an everyday event experienced by people. Use what you read to write a poem, rap or rhyme that creatively talks about the event. Express your emotions in the poem, so that people will feel what it's like to experience this event. Give your poem an eye-catching title that will make people want to read it.
Common Core State Standards: Demonstrating understanding of figurative language; applying knowledge of language to understand how language functions in different contexts.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Getting exercise into a busy day isn't easy, but soon you will be able to do it for free every Friday in downtown Jacksonville.
It is called Fitness in the Plaza and it is being put on by the City of Jacksonville, The Seymour Group and St. Vincent's Healthcare. The idea is to get people up and moving and make it easy for them to get a nice workout in during a busy day. Organizer, Donteacia Seymour, says an added bonus is that it willl get people downtown.
The classes are around lunchtime, so people working can use their lunch hour to get in a quick workout.
The classes are start in April and are only on Friday. The 1st, 3rd and 4th Friday of every month will follow this schedule:
-11:00 a.m. is Silver Sneaker Hour for those who are older, but still want some exercise
-11:50 a.m. there is a Nutrition Series on how to make good eating choices.
- 12:15 p.m. is an Extreme Fitness class for those who are aiming to get their heart rate up!
On the second Friday of every month, the entire two hours from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. is focused on kids.
"We want to teach them(kids) and instill this in them now so when they are adults, they are not having a hard time trying to figure out how to have a healthy and nutritious lifestyle," says Seymour.
Moody Chisholm the CEO of St. Vincent's Healthcare says with 75 million Americans that are obese, any chance to get people up and moving is great.
"I think it is a great opportunity to get at least the folks here in the downtown community to inspire people throughout the city of Jacksonville to focus their children on getting at least an hour of activity a day," says Chisholm.
Fitness in the Plaza starts on the first Friday in April and will run through October 26th.

|SPOG's History
|| Print |
In The Beginning
2CVGB SPOG was launched in 1994, with the aim, 'To keep 2CVs where they belong - On the Road!'
Parts Supplies
As it has turned out, many parts businesses, both at home, and abroad, have become deeply involved in sourcing and manufacturing spares for the 2CV and its family. There are also a number of repair sections available. It is now easy to buy parts which, only a few years ago, were almost impossible to obtain.
Where SPOG fits in
Not everything can be done by the parts factors. This is where SPOG comes in - as a safety net. Where it is commercially unviable to produce and sell a part, SPOG will take responsibility for it. Between us, we should be able to take care of things - it's unlikely that anyone will ever again produce a new bodyshell for your 2CV, but you can certainly get everything you need to rebuild the one you've got!
Through ESPOG, we have links with overseas 2CV Clubs, so that none of us wastes resources by duplicating parts.
Keep us Posted
SPOG also acts as a parts monitoring body. To do this, we rely on information from every source possible - Citroën's own parts lists, the independent suppliers, 2CVGB's Registers, and, ultimately from you! If you have a problem, let us know! We can either tell you where you need to be, or try to do something about it, by contact with our 2CV friends overseas, by consultation with the trade, or by setting up the re-manufacture of the part ourselves.
It's up to You!
14th March 2012:
SPOG is pleased to announce a new addition to the parts catalogue:
Part No: 211009
Quantity: pack of 2
Price (inc.VAT):
Full SPOG members: £3.18
2CVGB Members: £3.96
General public: £5.36

Erotic Paranormal Romance
Rating: 4 Cups
Her code name is Wings and with fiery red eyes and a spiked tail, she can set scorching heat to anything. She is being chased and hunted for a fire she did not start.
His code name is Stallion and he hunts for killers. After returning home from Afghanistan, instead of taking a desk job, Stallion chooses a special ops mission.
Wings desires food and a shower, especially after being chased by a demon hunter. When he finally catches up to her, he is none to happy with their last encounter. After she kicked him below the waist he could not walk for hours. She only defended herself after he punched her in the stomach. He believes she started the fire. Wings proclaims her innocence and even tried to save the two girls. She wants to find the arsonist before the FBI. It bothers her that one of her species possibly started the fire. Her species tried to introduce themselves and live like humans, and this only sets them back. Stallion offers for her to come to his apartment for a meal and a hot shower. While others are trying to put her on the tabloids or kill her because she is different, she wonders if Stallion can love and accept her for what she is.
The Draconis and the Stallion is a nice story. Wings is tough and spunky. Stallion is the perfect hero that could capture any woman's heart. When the two get together, heat sears the pages. I love the chase scene where Wings stays one step ahead of Stallion. With some spicy love scenes, Ms. Elliot makes the book hotter than the houses being torched. She crafts just the right mixture of spice, passion, and intrigue to keep the reader entertained in this sizzling tale.

It was an edited and condensed version of the Coppelia Ballet. Since the studio had no eligible mature males to play Dr. Coppelia the call went out for volunteers. I was easily volunteered. With a few instructions on how to help the girls to do their spins, a ridiculous costume and where to walk (no dancing involved, fortunately) I managed to avoid sabotaging the whole effort.

African Trade Beads bringing you the riches of Africa in todays modern jewellery creations
Packaging and Display Options
African Trade Beads offers various display units together with volume purchases of goods. This includes keyring, necklace and bracelet displays made of hard Kiaat wood and stained in natural colours.

Display Unit for Chunky Bracelets
All products can be supplied with with optional printed black and gold labels. Please see the
necklace section
for our necklace display unit.
I first came to South Africa in 1996 while travelling around the world. The year before I had just finished my pilots license and I instantly fell in love with the open, wild spaces and sense of opportunity in the country.
As I journeyed and flew throughout Africa, I came to appreciate the workmanship of hand-made goods and would seek far-off places to visit and buy products.
Tamiko Sher - Tau Pan Lodge airstrip, Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana.
AFRICAN TRADE BEADS began with the appreciation and love I developed for the cultural significance and beauty of hand-crafted beads of Africa. Most beads are still made using the same methods as in ancient times.
The fascination of beads lies not only in their ancient history, but also their limited availability. Many of our necklaces and bracelets are one-off items and cannot be repeated. Our products are made by hand and help provide income to people living in townships around Johannesburg .
Today I still fly throughout Southern Africa seeking the unusual, and work with traders from Africa who bring beautiful beads to South Africa. We hope you will enjoy our products as much as we enjoy finding the beads and making them.

Posted by insta on Jul 29th, 2012
Before reading on, please click here so that you can start your download! It's been a long journey to finish this project. With the first map being made and released back in 2009 and the second map being released in 2010, it has taken another 2 years for the project to be completely wrapped up.
Initially I intended to just create the final map and do some script and minor graphical upgrades to the previous levels, but while having a beer with Rick one day he suggested that he could help me out with some art to make the levels even more awesome.
"It'll only take like 2 months" he said "we'll make some new rocks and stuff, it'll be easy!" That was back in December. From then until now we've done almost complete rebuilds of the old levels, replaced almost all Half-Life 2 content with original art, and created 2 new levels as well! We have around 300 new textures being used in the mod, along with 300 new models.
It's a great feeling to finally be able to release Mission Improbable. It has been a lot of late nights and long hours to get it done, and we sincerely hope you'll enjoy playing it. In case your download hasn't finished quite yet, then you can take a look at the launch trailer below.
The download is STILL not done? Then check out this videoreview that Valvetime.net did! They reviewed a pre-release version of the mod, and awarded it an A-!
By now I hope the download is done. Again, we hope you like it, now we will go get some well-deserved rest!
Have been waiting all afternoon for this release! Looks brilliant. Congrats on the accomplishment.
Absolutely amazing. I've been looking forward to this for years. Your mod is on par with greats like MINERVA, Research and Development and Precursor. Can't wait to play through the full thing.
OMG Minerva and Precursor! I totally forgot about them! Thanks for the reminder!
Gosh there is just the old version available! Waiting for authorisation ?
Waiting for authorization indeed! It has been uploaded, so we are just waiting for modDB to ok it. If you are feeling lucky, you can try downloading it from Missionimprobable.org , although it is getting hit pretty hard.
Cant wait!
Me too... :D
Well that sucks. I gotta hit the sack, being an old man and all. I guess the sooner I fall asleep the sooner I shall wake and get to play. That's got to be a law of physics right? Maybe one of those laws written in fine print, one that nobody really takes notice of. Got to be...
Hopefully the file will be authorized soon. If you are feeling lucky, you can try downloading it from Missionimprobable.org !
Is goodday to visit Moddb! Good work guys, can't wait to play it ;)
Installation complete; playing now.
Awesome news! I've been waiting for this like.. [amount of time]! Downloading now, playing soon. :)
Yay! Congrats, the new level graphics look amazing!
Sweet, downloading now!
Just finished the mod, loved the combine section.
I rate this mod right up there with Miverva.
When can we download it on desura?
Installed through desura and it was exactly the same and ended at the same place. I guess that this is not a desura updat.
Good lord :D I was anxious about this mod, interested since the first time I saw it. I'm going to download it right now, so proud of you guys :)
I played it through whilst recording with fraps...
realised after I played through the whole thing that I forgot to record sound as well. *facepalm*
I glitched the elevator after the hunter sequence, it mustn't have a clip surrounding it properly because I managed to jump through it when it was going up. I also managed to get stuck in the clip that closes off the elevator on the edge of the initial radio tower station when I played MI2, so I'm not sure if that is re-occurring.
Hilarious mod, I wasn't expecting the flowers when I first picked one up. And that pigeon... and man, the mattress billboard was an amazing edition. Also, christ Magnus knows how to open doors!
I loved it.
I totally missed that mattress billboard joke! I was like "Look ma! I'm a headcrab!" in my Let's Play series!
Sad to hear about your audio glitch. I hope the glitch won't happen again with your copy of FRAPS.
Hello Fellas but when are you buddies going to update this fanntastic mod on desura?
Can you make a .rar or .zip archive version? I has problems with installation, I has steam but this installer don't want to install this mod( 4put.ru ), and why I can't select installation directory?
It finds your steam directory based on registry values, perhaps you manually moved your steam folders without reinstalling?
Anyway, there is a 7z archive on PlanetPhillip (drop by his site and say thanks!), you can also go here for links:
insta give me this link.
I think everything in this mod is awesome! So many details and amazing map designs. I liked the shield and the missiles, nicely done!
The ending was great! Rocket-launchers don't work very well with trash :P
Great, Great, well done Mod! I´ve played this mod already a few month ago, but what i see so far on this last release it seems to be pretty improved overall - so
its worth for me to play it again...
I've started a "Let's Play Mission Improbable" series using the latest version of this mod. Check it out at: Youtube.com
holy ****! incredible! man you realy must turn this mod in a l4d2 campaing, PLEASE CONSIDER!!!
Quality single player mod. A great play!

Early mornings are all about live croakers, grass beds and big trout for Capt. Jeremy McHugh of Stillwater Fishing Charters.
- Filed Under
Just because the temperature is rising and the dog days of summer are fast approaching, the fishing can still be hot for saltwater anglers who can change gears. And some of the coast's top anglers explain the basics of how to make it happen.
"It's as good, if not better, than it's been in the last three years," said Capt. Sonny Schindler of Shore Thing Charters. "The weather's been decent this month and we've been able to get out almost every day."
In addition to generally fair weather, Schindler said a strong food source has also helped the fishing. "The big shrimp pushed in really good and that ...

As long as I can remember music has been an important part of life. I used to listen to music more than I watched TV growing up. I would listen to it when I was doing homework, was driving in the car and even left the stereo on all night. I never had a problem falling asleep to the stereo if it was turned down to a soothing level.
I also used to like to use music to get pumped up before a big soccer game. It seemed like a pretty big deal at the time. You had to be ready. Queen's "News of the World" album was one I used to spin on the turntable quite often. "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" were songs that had been out for just about a year when I was a senior in high school. You still hear those songs all these years later during pro games ... they are timeless tunes.
I still listen to music although these days it is to deal more with the everyday stresses of life. Music is theraputic and at the top of my list is the song "All My Life" by the Foo Fighters. When I crank this tune up - and maybe even shout along with it if I'm alone on a country road or at home - I find I feel a whole lot better when it is over. Exhausted, actually. I definitely would have used this song to get me pumped up for a game if it had been around a few years ago. This song makes me feel as though I could punch my fist through a wall ... so I listen to it so I don't have to keep replacing drywall.
You can check out "All My Life" here.
I'm sure athletes today use music to help motivate them in the weight room or before the big game. In fact, you see them with their iPods all the time. It is a lot easier to get your music fix in today's world.
Well another 10 weeks of high school football has flashed by in the wink of an eye. Seven football teams from the area are looking ahead to this weekend as they will be competing in the state playoffs, hoping to bring home a championship.
Dover, Garaway, Harrison Central, Indian Valley, Malvern, New Philadelphia and West Holmes all continue their seasons this week.
Volleyball and soccer teams, as well as cross country teams and individual qualifiers already have been competing in postseason play.
So what songs get you pumped up for the big game? Do you prefer rock, country or some other genre? Or if you are a bit older, like myself, what songs did you listen to before the big game or event to get pumped up? Leave a comment below or feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
In a couple of my recent columns I asked you all for some help. I asked you which Elton John song is your favorite and the poll shows that their really isn't an overwhelming choice among our readers. "Funeral For a Friend/Loves Lie Bleeding" beat out "Levon," "Tiny Dancer," and "Rocket Man" by a slim percentage. But the choice "other" got the most votes and 19 percent of the poll.
MattyD sent me a message that said "What? Empty Garden (Hey, Hey Johnny) isn't on the list?"
I know. Making the list wasn't easy. "I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues" wasn't on the list either and that is one of my favorite songs by Elton. In fact, many of my favorites by the piano wizard never made it to radio.
In another column I asked "which of these first-time nominees would you like to see inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?"
Rush beat out Deep Purple by just a vote. Albert King, The Marvelettes, N.W.A., Procul Harum and Public Enemy were the others on the list. We'll have to wait and see who gets inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy refers to neurologic dysfunction that occurs outside of the brain and spinal cord. Patients with cancer are at risk for peripheral neuropathy caused by cancer, treatment, or both. Solid tumors can cause neuropathic symptoms and pain by pressing on local nerves. Chemotherapeutic agents that can cause peripheral neuropathy include epothilones, platinum analogs, taxanes, and vinca alkaloids. Among patients treated with anticancer therapies known to increase the risk of peripheral neuropathy, 10%–100% will develop the condition.
According to the research, peripheral neuropathy can cause pain and other sensory symptoms as well as patient safety concerns because of changes in dexterity, gait and balance problems, weakness, proprioception, and loss of some motor skills.

Time: April through May, for the years 2004, 2005 and 2006.
Budget: Each school received $750. Special thanks for cash and in-kind support from Mark Kelley with DMJM Aviation and Interstate Highway Corporation (IHC)
Details: Participating schools, Chatfield Senior High School, Pomona High School and Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design chosen to design and build works of art for Pena Blvd.
Project team: Colleen Fanning, Art Program Manager, Denver International Airport; Reggie Norman, Senior Architect; Hana Rocek, Manager of Maintenance and Engineering, Denver International Airport; Amy Laugesen and Pam Starck, Museum of Outdoor Art; Mark Kelly, DMJM Aviation was technical and engineering lead. The exhibit was a partnership with the Museum of Outdoor Arts, Design and Build Competition™. Special thanks to Cynthia Madden Leitner, Director, MOA, for her innovative programming.
In 2004, 2005 and 2006, Fanning Partnership partnered with the Museum of Outdoor Arts The Design and Build Program™. We identified two locations along Peña Blvd at Denver International Airport for placement of temporary sculpture. High school and college students designed and built site specific sculpture for these three locations.
Students who were selected were asked to present their ideas both in writing and verbally to a panel of professionals from DIA. These students conveyed structural and conceptual ideas and worked with staff to create solutions for issues such as weather and scale of work. The Design and Build program is incorporated into the participating school's arts curriculum.
Peña Blvd at Denver International Airport was an excellent location for the placement of art in a heavily traveled area. In utilizing the scenic corridor along Peña Blvd, 65,000-85,000 vehicles per day passed these works of art during the two months they were on view. Travels, although specifically observed only from the roadway, experienced a moment for pause and curiosity about the work. This exhibit opportunity offered excellent visibility for the students, visibility that professional artists aspire to achieve.

The lab was located in a cottage located right on the banks of Lake Cumberland, where many of the cottages are rented out to out-of-owners, people who come down from out of state and spend the summer. But police say one particular individual was doing a lot more than vacationing on the lake.
The cabin was rented by Robert Mouser, or "D" as the locals called him. Police say he and 6 others were arrested for manufacturing meth. Police say they found all the ingredients like Drano, coffee filters, salt, batteries, and other items, found both in the cabin and in a car parked outside. They say they also found the finished product in the cabin.
"I know I'm glad that they are out of here. Because we all have kids. We have to raise our kids here. And this is a good place other than the bad eggs, that come through. But they don't stay long. If we can help out, cause we have our children here," said neighbor David O'Neill.

Editor's note: Even as the Constitution was being ratified, Americans looked toward a figure of singular probity to fill the new office of the presidency. On February 4, 1789, the 69 members of the Electoral College made George Washington the only chief executive to be unanimously elected. Congress was supposed to make the choice official that March but could not muster a quorum until April. The reason—bad roads—suggests the condition of the country Washington would lead. In a new biography, Washington: A Life, Ron Chernow has created a portrait of the man as his contemporaries saw him. The excerpt below sheds light on the president's state of mind as the first Inauguration Day approached.
From This Story
Related Content
The Congressional delay in certifying George Washington's election as president only allowed more time for doubts to fester as he considered the herculean task ahead. He savored his wait as a welcome "reprieve," he told his former comrade in arms and future Secretary of War Henry Knox, adding that his "movements to the chair of government will be accompanied with feelings not unlike those of a culprit who is going to the place of his execution." His "peaceful abode" at Mount Vernon, his fears that he lacked the requisite skills for the presidency, the "ocean of difficulties" facing the country—all gave him pause on the eve of his momentous trip to New York. In a letter to his friend Edward Rutledge, he made it seem as if the presidency was little short of a death sentence and that, in accepting it, he had given up "all expectations of private happiness in this world."
The day after Congress counted the electoral votes, declaring Washington the first president, it dispatched Charles Thomson, the secretary of Congress, to bear the official announcement to Mount Vernon. The legislators had chosen a fine emissary. A well-rounded man, known for his work in astronomy and mathematics, the Irish-born Thomson was a tall, austere figure with a narrow face and keenly penetrating eyes. He couldn't have relished the trying journey to Virginia, which was "much impeded by tempestuous weather, bad roads, and the many large rivers I had to cross." Yet he rejoiced that the new president would be Washington, whom he venerated as someone singled out by Providence to be "the savior and father" of the country. Having known Thomson since the Continental Congress, Washington esteemed him as a faithful public servant and exemplary patriot.
Around noon on April 14, 1789, Washington flung open the door at Mount Vernon and greeted his visitor with a cordial embrace. Once in the privacy of the mansion, he and Thomson conducted a stiff verbal minuet, each man reading from a prepared statement. Thomson began by declaring, "I am honored with the commands of the Senate to wait upon your Excellency with the information of your being elected to the office of President of the United States of America" by a unanimous vote. He read aloud a letter from Senator John Langdon of New Hampshire, the president pro tempore. "Suffer me, sir, to indulge the hope that so auspicious a mark of public confidence will meet your approbation and be considered as a sure pledge of the affection and support you are to expect from a free and enlightened people." There was something deferential, even slightly servile, in Langdon's tone, as if he feared that Washington might renege on his promise and refuse to take the job. Thus was greatness once again thrust upon George Washington.
Any student of Washington's life might have predicted that he would acknowledge his election in a short, self-effacing speech full of disclaimers. "While I realize the arduous nature of the task which is conferred on me and feel my inability to perform it," he replied to Thomson, "I wish there may not be reason for regretting the choice. All I can promise is only that which can be accomplished by an honest zeal." This sentiment of modesty jibed so perfectly with Washington's private letters that it could not have been feigned: he wondered whether he was fit for the post, so unlike anything he had ever done. The hopes for republican government, he knew, rested in his hands. As commander in chief, he had been able to wrap himself in a self-protective silence, but the presidency would leave him with no place to hide and expose him to public censure as nothing before.
Because the vote counting had been long delayed, Washington, 57, felt the crush of upcoming public business and decided to set out promptly for New York on April 16, accompanied in his elegant carriage by Thomson and aide David Humphreys. His diary entry conveys a sense of foreboding: "About ten o'clock, I bade adieu to Mount Vernon, to private life, and to domestic felicity and, with a mind oppressed with more anxious and painful sensations than I have words to express, set out for New York...with the best dispositions to render service to my country in obedience to its call, but with less hope of answering its expectations." Waving goodbye was Martha Washington, who wouldn't join him until mid-May. She watched her husband of 30 years depart with a mixture of bittersweet sensations, wondering "when or whether he will ever come home again." She had long doubted the wisdom of this final act in his public life. "I think it was much too late for him to go into public life again," she told her nephew, "but it was not to be avoided. Our family will be deranged as I must soon follow him."
Determined to travel rapidly, Washington and his entourage set out each day at sunrise and put in a full day on the road. Along the way he hoped to keep ceremonial distractions to a minimum, but he was soon disabused: eight exhausting days of festivities lay ahead. He had only traveled ten miles north to Alexandria when the townspeople waylaid him with a dinner, lengthened by the mandatory 13 toasts. Adept at farewells, Washington was succinctly eloquent in response. "Unutterable sensations must then be left to more expressive silence, while, from an aching heart, I bid you all, my affectionate friends and kind neighbors, farewell."
Before long, it was apparent that Washington's journey would form the republican equivalent of the procession to a royal coronation. As if already a seasoned politician, he left a trail of political promises in his wake. While in Wilmington, he addressed the Delaware Society for Promoting Domestic Manufacturers and imparted a hopeful message. "The promotion of domestic manufactures will, in my conception, be among the first consequences which may naturally be expected to flow from an energetic government." Arriving in Philadelphia, he was met by local dignitaries and asked to mount a white horse for his entry into town. When he crossed a bridge over the Schuylkill, it was wreathed with laurels and evergreens, and a cherubic boy, aided by a mechanical device, lowered a laurel crown over his head. Recurrent cries of "Long Live George Washington" confirmed what his former aide James McHenry had already told him before he left Mount Vernon: "You are now a king under a different name."
