New York - Finalists, including a bloodhound and standard poodle, will face off on Tuesday in the 138th annual Westminster Kennel Club dog show to see who will win "best in show" in one of the oldest sporting events in the United States.
A bloodhound named Nathan was tabbed the best of the hound group on Monday, and a miniature pinscher called Classie was named tops in the toy group. Victors in seven groups, three to be determined on Tuesday, will face off for the championship.
This year's show features 190 different breeds and varieties from the determined miniature schnauzer and the majestic Afghan hound. With 2 845 expected contestants, it was projected to be the largest staging since 1990.
A standard poodle named Ally won in the non-sporting group. It was the 29th win for a standard poodle in that group. No other breed has more victories in their respective group.
A Cardigan Welsh corgi named Coco Posh was the winner in the herding group, the first group win for that breed in the history of the show.
The competition focuses on the appearance of a dog as compared with a breed standard. It stretches across two New York sites, with initial rounds of judging at a pier along the Hudson River and finals at Madison Square Garden, normally the site of basketball games and concerts.
The show is the second-longest continuously held sporting event in the United States after the Kentucky Derby horse race.
Monday's judging featured the hound, toy, non-sporting and herding groups. Sporting, working and terrier breeds will be judged on Tuesday.
Ally, the standard poodle, is five years old and competing in her last show before retirement. Grooming her takes three to four hours, and Tim Brazier, her handler, said she's "quite snooty - she chooses who she's going to associate with."
Of Ally's preparations for the final, Brazier, of Seattle, said: "Just the usual drill - she's an old pro. She's got it nailed down."
Nathan, the three-year-old bloodhound, was a crowd favourite, drawing big cheers each time he trotted around the show floor.
"He really doesn't have a quarrelsome bone in his body," said Heather Helmer of Queenstown, Maryland, who is Nathan's co-breeder, co-owner and handler. "He loves kissing everybody."
Toy group winner Classie, a four-year-old "mini-pin," weighs in at a mere 7lbs (3.17kg). She is the fifth mini-pin to win the group.
"She's excited and cold," said Armando Angelbello, her handler, after her win.
"What I like about this breed, it's like living with a toddler that never grows up."
The hound group marked the debut of the first of three new breeds at this year's event: the Portuguese podengo pequeno, represented by a five-year old fuzzy, pointy-eared dog named Tango.
The seven category winners will be judged on Tuesday evening in the best in show event by Betty Regina Leininger of Frisco, Texas.
Two dogs to watch during group judging on Tuesday will be a wire fox terrier named Sky and a Portuguese water dog called Matisse, both of whom performed well in shows earlier in the year, said Westminster spokesman David Frei, who co-hosts the television broadcast of the competition.
Tuesday will also feature the debuts of the chinook, a husky-like breed developed in New Hampshire, and the spotted rat terrier.
Dogs from all 50 US states, including large numbers from New York and California, are competing in this year's event, with some 127 foreign entries expected, including dogs from Finland, Slovenia, Japan and Thailand.
The show follows the AKC's first dog agility contest, which was held on Saturday, and, in another first for the group, was open to mixed-breed entrants.
A seven-year-old border collie named Kelso from Cape Elizabeth, Maine, won that event, a timed run that required the dog to clear 18 obstacles, leaping hurdles, speeding through tunnels, and weaving through poles. - Reuters

Straying from his typical metal/progressive sound, guitarist and vocalist Chandler Merchant of A King's Affliction prepares to entertain the restless crowds of Warped Tour with a solo, acoustic performance.
"I'm going to be performing completely different songs from what's on our album," Merchant said. "Fans will get a taste of metal from our CD, and a little acoustic from my live set."
Merchant performed at Warped Tour last year and is excited to rock the stage promoting his own band and representing the record label.
"Last summer, the record label called me up and asked me what my summer plans were, at the time I was just working so they asked me to do the tour and flew me out," Merchant said. "Half-way through the tour I got a bunch of CDs printed and gave those out."
Merchant is working with his brother, and band member, Landon Merchant, to fill a few band positions needed to complete A King's Affliction. The two have recently been signed with Streaker Records and plan to continue writing new material, and eventually go on tour.
Music from A King's Affliction is available on iTunes, and their CD will be available at Warped Tour. For information, visit www.vanswarpedtour.com/

My cat Lucy left me last night.
Lucy's health had been failing for several months. She got much better for a few days and then she got a lot worse. Then she rallied one final time when I thought she was gone for good.
I came home from school to find that she had emptied her bowl. I don't actually know how much she ate. Her balance was still off but her determination was obvious. Her food (canned food mixed with dry food to make it more tempting) had been thrown in all directions. There was food on the floor, food halfway across the room, food sticking to the walls. I imagine she got some of it in her mouth. She had food on her whiskers and her head was tilted oddly off to one side, the after-effect of the strokes she had suffered. I looked at the empty food bowl and then back at this unbearably tenacious cat.
"I'm hungry!" she said.
But that was the last time she ate. After that, she got busy dying and she did that— like everything else she put her paw to— with grace.
I adopted Lucy after she had spent almost a full year at the Humane Society. No one wanted to adopt a deaf cat with a perpetual sinus drip. The volunteers had made every effort to get her a home. There was a calendar made while Lucy was in residence and she was Miss April. But no one wanted to adopt Miss April until I met her.
As her health failed, I hoped she would make it home with me. I had wanted to bury her with my other pets under the willow tree. But I saw yesterday that she was not going to make it to the farmhouse. Stretched out on her fleece bed, she lay motionless as her limbs became stiff and her head grew heavier until, at last, it was too heavy for her to lift. I spent a lot of time, those last couple days, petting her and she would still purr when I touched her. Finally, last night, her breathing grew labored and I knew we were close.
"You do what you need to do, Lucy," I told her.
April was drawing to a close and Miss April was preparing to make her exit before the month was out, a final flourish from the cat who always had a dramatic streak. I was working at my desk and it grew quiet. I checked and she was breathing very softly. I checked again and she had stopped.
"Goodbye Lucy."
"If you don't want the ashes, you could do a combined cremation," the veterinarian told me. "There is a volunteer group that takes the ashes to the top of Sandia Mountain and scatters them in the forest on the mountain top."
I thought about the Sandia mountains, turning brilliant pink in the sunset. I thought of the winds blowing in every direction and about how Lucy always loved to travel. I remembered all the airplanes she had flown in across the ocean with me and the cross-country drives in Africa. I thought about Lucy eating guacamole in the travelers' lounge in Amsterdam. I remembered how, every time she saw me packing my suitcase, she would hop into her carrier and look out expectantly.
"Where are we going next?" she'd ask me.
"Yes," I said. "I think bringing her ashes to the top of the mountain would be fine. Lucy would want one last adventure."
Till next time,

I'm always on the hunt for a good body moisturizer. Because I'm a brown woman, when my skin is less than moisturized the dryness is very noticeable, especially on my legs. I remember around three weeks ago I was going to an event. I had on this gorgeous yellow dress, 4 inch stiletos, I thought I looked pretty good, until my girlfriend remarked that my legs were so ashy it looked as if I had just finished kicking flour. (whatever!) Nothing is unsexier than a woman whose legs are so dry that ash is clearly present. I've tried tons of lotions, creams, body butters that claim they leave you with soft moisturized skin throughout the day. Most of them are Lies! Three hours later, I'm reapplying because my skin is obviously dry again. Recently I got my hands on Glowology's Opulent Body Butter.
This is a wonderfully thick body lotion that is scented with hints of coconut and loaded with ingredients like Coconut oil (my personal fave) shea butter, honey, camellia oil, all of these are very nourishing and moisturing ingredients for the skin. The best part about this, is after using, I'm pretty much good to go throughout the day. Loving this.
Have you tried this?

Flashes Advance in MAC Tournament
CLEVELAND -- Win and advance. That's the mantra this time of year when you don't get any points for style. Third-seeded Kent State did just that Wednesday afternoon, knocking off No. 6 Central Michigan, 68-55, in Mid-American Conference Women's Basketball Quarterfinal action at Quicken Loans Arena.
IMAGE: A Kent State player is fouled on her way to the basket by a Central Michigan defender Wednesday afernoon at the Quicken Loans Arena.
With the victory — their 20th of the season — the Golden Flashes advance to face second-seeded Toledo Friday (March 12) at noon. The Rockets defeated Ball State, 67-56, in the day's first quarterfinal.
Junior guard Jamilah Humes (Saginaw, Mich.) had 24 points (22 after halftime), nine rebounds, four assists and a pair of steals to pace the Flashes. She became the 19th player in school history to top the 1,000-point plateau with her three-pointer at the 8:45 mark of the second half. Meanwhile, junior forward Taisja Jones (Dallas, Texas) finished with 10 points and a game-high 11 rebounds for her fifth double-double of the season. Senior guard Yoshica Spears (Nome, Texas) joined the duo in double-figures with 12 points, nine rebounds and a career-high six steals.
Kent State's fortunes mirrored those of Humes, who was named to the All-MAC first team Tuesday. The Flashes trailed 28-21 at the half after shooting just 21.4 percent (6-28) while committing 17 turnovers, as Humes played just five minutes after picking up two quick fouls.
After Central Michigan pushed the margin to nine with a basket to open the second half, Kent State started chipping away at the deficit. Senior center Lorriane Odhiambo (Nairobi, Kenya) scored four quick points, Spears knocked down a three-pointer and senior guard Rachel Bennett (Marion, Ohio) followed with a lay-up to cut the deficit to 31-30 at the 16:58 mark.
That's when Humes proceeded to take over, scoring 13 of Kent State's next 15 points — including eight straight at one point — to put the Flashes up, 46-40, with 8:45 remaining. Jones then added a triple to push the advantage to nine.

That didn't take long.
Less than 24 hours after their season finale, the Detroit Pistons fired head coach Lawrence Frank today. ESPN's Marc Stein was first to report the news.
"We thank Lawrence for his hard work and dedication, but we feel it is in the best interest of the franchise to make a change at this time," president of basketball operations Joe Dumars said in a released statement. "Decisions like this are never easy and we wish Lawrence well in the future." ...

I saw this guy play almost every night his junior year and continued to watch as much as I could his senior year. He is a quick guard, good ball handling, decent spot shooter and has fast hands defensively. He is undersized but I know for a fact that drives him to go harder.
Lead the Bobcats to a sweet 16 appearance his junior season where the loss a tough game to North Carolina in OT.
He is the type of player that may make you pull your hair out one second then you love him the next. I'm biased but would love to see him make the team and compete for a back up PG position.
Also an interesting stat: He is the ONLY player in NCAA history to eclipse at least 2000 points, 900 assists, 600 rebounds, and 300 steals.
Final college stat line: 2,075 pts, 934 ast, 620 rbs and 327 steals.
Good Luck Coop!

Seems to be a guy who puts a whole lot of effort day in and day out. Would love him to be the Bazemore of the 2013-2014 season.
He is a decent play maker and likes to get out and push the ball. I'm going to keep a close eye on him throughout the summer.
He is very much more considered a playmaker then a shooter. He's a playmaker who can shoot. He can fill a role and be a decent backup PG in this league.
He might not make it with the Warriors but I can see him landing somewhere.

Mark Stuart draws interest on trade front
Hockey sources here indicated to CSNNE.com that there's strong interest on the trade front in defenseman Mark Stuart, and that dealing the rugged defenseman might be an option for the Bruins over the next four weeks if the team needs to clear salary cap space for a roster move.
Stuart has served as a healthy scratch for the Bruins in each of the last three games leading up to theNHL All-Star break, and hasn't played since a Jan. 20 loss to the Buffalo Sabres — only his second game back from a broken right hand that kept Stuart out for a month. Adam McQuaid has played in Stuart's place while the Bruins defenseman has sat on the bench, and represents a similarly physical defenseman for less than a third of Stuart's cap hit ($1.675 million).
If Stuart is dealt before the Feb. 28 trade deadline, it will be purely for salary cap reasons as Stuart heads into unrestricted free agency after the current season is over. His leadership and toughness around the net are valued assets, and the reason he's garnering interesting around the NHL — including an Atlanta team that listened to a package involving Stuart for Ilya Kovalchuk at last year's trade deadline.

CORRECTION: January 18, 2011
A story on Page B1 Monday about cartoonist Stephan Pastis said he lives and draws "Pearls Before Swine" at a Rincon Valley-area condo. The condo serves as Pastis' studio; he and his family live in Larkfield.
Cartoonist Stephan Pastis
Life has gotten good for Stephan Pastis, who's gone from being a lawyer who couldn't stand his job to a cartoonist who can't draw.
Well, it's not that Pastis can't draw. The creator of the toothy and hilarious "Pearls Before Swine" comic strip obviously can.
It's just that writing the dialogue and gags is his joyous forte. The drawing, which for some cartoonists is the best part of the work, is for him quite secondary.
He believes the quality of his drawing falls well short of cartoons by most of his funnies-section colleagues. His most avid fans may not even notice that his sardonic Rat, sweet and clueless Pig, ridiculous crocs and exasperated "zeebas" all sport stick legs and stick arms.

What causes and prevents cocaine abuse and addiction?
Like the majority of other mental health problems, cocaine abuse and addiction have no single cause. However, there are a number of biological, psychological, and social risk factors that can increase a person's likelihood of developing a chemical abuse or chemical dependency disorder. The frequency that substance-abuse disorders occur within some families seems to be higher than can be explained by the addictive environment of the family. Therefore, most substance-abuse professionals recognize a genetic aspect to the risk of drug addiction. This is particularly true for cocaine dependence.
Mental-disorder symptoms that are caused by cocaine abuse or addiction include mood disorders like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder, as well as personality disorders like antisocial personality disorder. Social risk factors for drug abuse and addiction include male gender, ages 18 to 44 years old, Native American heritage, unmarried marital status, and lower socioeconomic status. According to statistics by state, people residing in the West tend to be at higher risk for chemical abuse or dependency. As with substance abuse in general, prevention of cocaine abuse and addiction is increased by circumstances like receiving appropriate supervision, as well as clear messages from family members that cocaine use is unacceptable.

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College women's lacrosse team romped to three wins in the latter half of last week to improve to 5-0, 4-0 in NESCAC. The Panthers were ranked No. 7 in last week's NCAA Division III poll.
On Wednesday, the Panthers topped host Skidmore, 16-5, dropping the Thoroughbreds to 3-1.
EAST MIDDLEBURY — On Thursday night, members of the Middlebury River task force — comprised of citizens, scientists and local officials — spoke with more than 50 people in East Middlebury about the contentious future of the river that flooded the village during Tropical Storm Irene.
MIDDLEBURY — Vermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell is asking the state Legislature to allocate $200,000 for additional manpower to investigate and prosecute child pornography offenders, this in view of the fact that only a small fraction of such cases are able to be pursued under current budget constraints.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury Community Television (MCTV) and Ilsley Public Library are becoming more and more aligned in seeking to not only distribute published content, but to help people create and distribute their own content.
"We're looking to the future, and we're seeing our missions converge more and more," MCTV Executive Director Dick Thodal said following the Middlebury nonprofit's annual meeting at the Ilsley Thursday night.
MIDDLEBURY — Addison County Superior Court Judge Helen Toor on Thursday ruled against incumbent Vergennes Union Elementary School board director Cheryl Brinkman's appeal of her 239-238 Town Meeting Day election loss to challenger Susan Ferland.
That tally had been confirmed by a March 12 Board of Civil Authority recount, but city officials also acknowledged a transcription error that day resulted in confusion over the total amount of votes cast.

BRIDPORT — At a lunch meeting in Bridport last Monday, local legislators participated in a lively conversation with constituents on agricultural issues.
Three legislators — Rep. Will Stevens, I-Shoreham; Rep. Harvey Smith, R-New Haven; and Sen. Harold Giard, D-Bridport — discussed the Working Lands bill, migrant farmworkers, genetically modified crops and a variety of other agricultural topics. The meeting was sponsored by the Bridport Grange and the Addison County Farm Bureau.
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen on Tuesday agreed to assume responsibility for maintaining a cemetery on Mountain View Lane variously known as The First Cemetery, The Old Cemetery or The Burial Ground.
The cemetery is city-owned, but has been maintained since the 1930s by the First Congregational Church of Vergennes, when a trust that had been caring for the cemetery handed over the task to the church.

Loomis also says the club does not intend to re-sign linebacker Jonathan Vilma, who has been hampered by recurring knee injuries the past few seasons.
Analysis: Loomis says parting ways with four longtime Saints who played key roles in the club's only Super Bowl title was difficult. However, he says the moves were needed to help New Orleans bring its player payroll below the NFL's salary cap. Wednesday's moves will save nearly $17 million in 2014.

Analysis: Vilma began the season on short-term injured reserve because of an arthroscopic procedure in August on his left knee, which has troubled him through multiple surgeries over the past two-plus seasons. The designation allowed the 10th-year linebacker to return to practice in Week 8 and to the active roster in Week 9. Vilma was activated Saturday and played 12 defensive snaps in a 26-20 loss to his former team, the New York Jets, on Sunday.

Analysis: Vilma, who began his career with the Jets, had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in August and practiced the past two weeks without limitations.

Analysis: The 31-year-old Smith and 30-year-old Vilma, both veteran defensive captains who were implicated in the NFL's bounty probe, would have consumed about $23 million combined in salary cap space had they not agreed to new deals before the new league year - and free agency - began Tuesday afternoon.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ A spokesman for Boeing Co. says he's unaware of any current plans to sell the aircraft maker's Integrated Defense Systems plant in Wichita, Kan.
Jarrod Bartlett made the statement Thursday after the issue came up in Boeing's contract talks with the union representing 700 engineers at the Wichita plant.
The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace has asked Boeing for information on any effort to sell or divest itself of the Wichita plant.
Speculation arose this week when the head of EADS, parent company of Europe's Airbus, told reporters his company had canceled a major U.S. acquisition at the last minute. The EADS executive, Louis Gallois, declined to identify the U.S. company.

I made curry hummus a few weeks back. In that recipe I made mention of Smitten Kitchen's ethereally smooth hummus. Deb achieved her heavenly hummus smoothness first by peeling each and every garbanzo bean. Pfffttt. I quickly and easily dismissed that possibility in my curry hummus in hopes of expediting the process and getting hummus in my face as soon as possible. Peel every bean? No way.
The only problem is, the thought of Deb's smooth hummus has been haunting me ever since! Dangit! Laziness backfired. Back in the kitchen for me! This time with a recipe from the latest Food and Wine magazine for avocado hummus. Between the peeled beans and the creamy avocado, I really need this to be a smooth success!
RELATED: Is This Yogurt Cucumber Dip And Homemade Flatbread The Ultimate Snack?
How long does it take to peel two cups of garbanzo beans for hummus? About 20 minutes. 20 solid minutes. Is it worth it? Yea, mostly. Do you really have to do it? No — it's cool, but you might be haunted just like me. Beware.
The peeled garbanzo beans are combined with other hummus-y ingredients like garlic, tahini, lemon, olive oil, salt, and pepper. The avocado adds a really rad depth of flavor, making this hummus somewhere between guacamole and hummus.
Well, was it completely smooth? Was it worth the 20 minutes of peeling? Yes my hummus was dreamy smooth. But, I have to admit that all that smooth hummus kind of had me missing the slightly more chunky variety. Ugh, I know. I'm the worst. This might be a "grass is always greener" situation. I loved the light and creamy texture of this hummus, but also would have been totally satisfied if the hummus had a little bite to it. Either way it works for me. At least I can rest easy knowing this!
It's time for pita chips and avocado slices! I like to add a bit of olive oil, coarse sea salt, and black pepper to my hummus. A little bit of bite with every bite!
Makes about 3 cups
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained
2 ripe avocados, cut into chunks
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
1 clove garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Green bell pepper, sliced for serving
Cucumber, sliced for serving
Pita chips, for serving
RELATED: A Goat Cheese And Roasted Corn Guacamole To Whip Up Tonight!
For an extra smooth hummus spread, take the time to remove the skins from the chickpeas. If you have neither the time or patience for that, no problem — throw the drained chickpeas in as-is.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine chickpeas, avocado chunks, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, and garlic. Add a good pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until combined and smooth. I blended my hummus for about three minutes. Stop the food processor and taste. Add more salt and pepper and lemon if necessary. Blend for another five minutes until light and smooth. Serve topped with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. Serve with fresh vegetables and pita chips.
We may have Joy the Baker's infamous "Man Bait" Apple Crisp recipe committed to memory, but it's not the only reason we're loyal to this self-taught dessert maven. Joy's hilariously soulful commentary, undying devotion to butter, and steadfast belief that cake is a perfectly acceptable breakfast choice are what really keep us coming back for more.

A Pre-Election War? Israeli Politicians Split on the Idea
For Cabinet, Escalation in Gaza a Foregone Conclusion, But How Much Escalation?
In December 2008, Israel last invaded the Gaza Strip. Just two months later, the far-right parties in Israel were swept into office in the February 2009 vote, on the back of anti-Arab sentiment and promises of even more bellicosity.
Here we are again, two months ahead of Israel's January 2013 vote, and Israeli politicians are once again debating the possibility of invading the strip, with a major left-right split on the question.
Opposition leaders like Labor's Shelly Yacimovich say that it is "not the right time" for such an invasion, and a petition among center-left MPs has set the stage for a Thursday meeting in the Knesset on the possibility of the war.
Israel's hawkish right, led by Speaker Rueven Rivlin, who insists that the election shouldn't get in the way of a perfectly good war and Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar, who insisted Israel's opponents would face war "over and over again," seem pretty good with the timing.
And while the Knesset debates the merits of war, Israel's cabinet and military leadership have been holding a series of meetings with quite a different take. Escalation is a foregone conclusion there, with the split between those who want a dramatic increase in air strikes and those who want a ground invasion, and Prime Minister Netanyahu pushing a last minute PR campaign in the international community to see how much of a war he can get away with.

text: I first heard about Maksim when I was randomly watching a YouTube video. This young 11 year old girl was rollerblading to the song "Exodus" and I thought the music was really epic for dance type of music. Yes, these are remixes of classical pieces, but I have to admit...they're not bad. If you don't think that classical music should be remixed then I don't recommend you pick up this CD because you will not enjoy it at all. Maksim is a wonderful pianist, however, and he should do something without all the beats. If you like classical music and want something fresh, go ahead. Pick it up.

P21 on Collaboration, Common Core and 21st Century Learning
The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21) was founded in 2002 as a coalition bringing together the business community, education leaders, and policymakers to position 21st century readiness at the center of U.S. K-12 education.
We recently spoke with Frank Gallagher (chair), Helen Soulé (interim executive director) and Tatyana Warrick (communications manager) in their Washington, D.C. office to hear their thoughts on collaboration, Common Core State Standards and what makes an ideal 21st century learning environment.
Frank: I would add that P21 has been "walking the walk" and "talking the talk" since the very beginning around collaboration. We have a strong collaboration between private industry, government, the nonprofit sectors as well as education groups – all working together. We also have a strong collaboration between P21 and the various partner states that are implementing the framework. The process of becoming a partner state involves state-level collaboration between business groups, policy makers and the education community as well as parents.
How do you feel the 4Cs are translating into the adoption of Common Core State Standards?
Helen: We think that the 4Cs are absolutely present in the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. Although not quite as intentionally present, we also see them in Mathematics standards and we are starting to see them in the new Science standards. We developed the P21 Common Core Toolkit that we make available for free on our website to clearly outline where those 4C skills can be found in the Common Core and provide some examples for how you can implement them in the classroom.
Frank: We see the 4Cs as implied in a lot of the thinking behind Common Core as a way to "get there" – that you can't get to the standards without the 4Cs.
What is P21's vision of a 21st century learning environment?
Frank: Our vision is flexible. One of our big projects this year is going out to exemplar schools and documenting the choices they made in setting up their systems, learning environments, schedules and professional development. Educators interested in adopting the P21 Skills framework need models. They need to see different ways of approaching the framework so they can pick the one that best fits their own situation.
Helen: It also involves providing a safe environment in which teachers are supported and learning — in a way — right along with their students. The kind of cultural environment you create is most important because any other perceived constraints about physical learning spaces and adopting new skills melt away when a supportive culture is present.
Tatyana: One thing that we really love to see is that there is a vision embedded throughout the school, including ways for teachers to collaborate and connect across content areas, connecting students to learning opportunities outside the classroom doors, working with community businesses and providing internships to enhance hands-on learning opportunities.
What technology tools do you think help facilitate instructional practices involving 21st century skills?
Helen: I spent over 20 years working with technology tools and instructional practices. What I find we are not consistently very good at (yet) is utilizing the appropriate technology tool for the appropriate pedagogy or lesson. Technology tools are powerful when used in the right ways but they can also be misused. Interactive displays work great for collaboration activities, while personal devices are better for individual use. One product does not fit all learning practices and we need to put that more complex point on how we use technology in schools.
Frank: You can implement 21st century learning with very rudimentary technology if you have to, but the variety of devices and software available today are great for enabling and making teaching practices more effective (when used correctly).
Many classrooms use shared interactive displays along with personal devices to optimize student collaboration— does P21 have recommendations for best practices around that learning model?
Helen: We have just begun our exemplar school project and we have seen some rooms with SMART Boards and personal devices used together but we still need to develop our case studies and models, so we'll get back to you on that. I thought the Fogarty study you referred us to was very interesting because it gave an interesting look at a really different pedagogical approach to how something can be taught, which is very instructive to people.

BlackBerry applications are surely a matter of delight for the BlackBerry users around the world. Every time, we get to see or hear about a new application for our BlackBerry handset, we get so thrilled about it. All of us love to try out the new applications which are made available at the BlackBerry App World.
BlackBerry App World is certainly a place where you can give a complete makeover to your existing and sometimes boring BlackBerry handset. BlackBerry App World is a platform where one can find innumerable applications for the BlackBerry handsets. Couple of weeks ago, you must have come across the news about the up gradation of the BlackBerry App World. In order to bring cheers to the face of the BlackBerry users around the world, the BlackBerry App World has been upgraded to Version 2.0. It means that after the private beta version, the platform has been given a facelift with this newer version.
The newer and the better version of BlackBerry App World will be loaded with some new features and applications, like credit card billing, QR barcode scanning, an upgraded user interface, and Research In Motion's new ID system. It will also support the billing application which will enable a user to purchase directly to his/her wireless bill. But, this facility is only available and supported by certain carriers. The barcode scanning will open up huge opportunities for the BlackBerry users around the world. With a better user interface, this newer version will definitely be liked by the BlackBerry users around the world.
This will surely come as a big surprise for you that RIM has allowed the developers around the world to sell applications for $0.99 and $1.99. Initially, RIM was making a point that only those applications will be considered which are of high quality.
But, it is quite paradoxical that with such prices like $0.99 and $1.99, one cannot expect high quality applications for the BlackBerry smartphones. With such a nominal price, no one will ever measure up the pros and cons when making a purchase. Along with, it is also true that it will lead to over-flooding of application in the BlackBerry App World. The up gradation is in the process, and within couple of hours, BlackBerry users will be able to surf through the newer and better version of BlackBerry App World. So, be ready to get thrilled with this new look.

Case-Mate posts images suggesting iPhone 5 design
updated 01:40 pm EDT, Thu September 15, 2011
Claims access to 'inside resources'
Accessory maker Case-Mate has published images depicting cases for an alleged iPhone 5 design, reports note. The images are consistent with cases being produced in Asia, showing a phone with a flat back, tapered edges and elongated volume buttons instead of circular ones. Case-Mate's images also imply an aluminum back instead of glass. On one of the company's webpages, it claims to have "inside resources" on the next iPhone's specifications and launch date.
"The new iPhone 5 will feature a completely different form factor than its predecessor. Wider and thinner, the redesigned device features an extended home button. The screen size could see an increase to 4 inches," Case-Mate writes. "Also included in the iPhone 5 will be an A5 dual-core processor, similar to the one used in the iPad 2. It will also be equipped with an 8 mega-pixel camera, wireless charging and iOS 5, which features iCloud portable storage capabilities.
"The latest report is that the iPhone 5 will be available on all major carriers across the globe, including China Mobile, which has 600 million subscribers. In addition, it will be available in black and white with 16GB and 32 GB options. Insiders expect an early October launch," the company continues. It adds that based on its resources, Apple "will be indeed launching both an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 4S in early October," the latter having the same shape as the iPhone 4 but getting modern amenities like an A5 chip and an 8 megapixel camera.
Case-Mate's assertions are likely to be just educated speculation, or potentially outright wrong in the case of the 4S, since it's not clear how (if it exists) the phone would differentiate itself from an iPhone 5 beyond looks. Keeping the old shell and scaling back to 8GB of memory might make for a cheaper alternative to the 5. Case-Mate's claims are otherwise mostly consistent with reports about the iPhone 5, the main exception being wireless charging.

It's been a while since I've posted a status update on the various happenings of my life, and since I've been getting some inquisitive emails and comments, I thought it's about time I clue everyone in.
As some of you have noticed, I haven't been very active on my youtube channel over the last 9 months. One of the reasons being that It's just been a massive year for me. I'm currently finishing up the largest chunk of work I've ever had to do in such a short time, and I'm eager to clear my plate and begin working on my next independent project for youtube.
I've been thinking more about how to showcase my freelance work on the net. With the various social media sites I use to communicate with fans, the relevancy of tarboy.com in its current format doesn't serve a whole lot of relevancy any more. In the near future I'll be redesigning the site and moving away from it as a central location for my youtube videos, and more towards something that better displays my commercial work from the last 5 years, which none of my closest fans have even seen yet. Though that's not to say my future youtube work will be getting less attention, I'm planning it will be the opposite.
There's been dramatic shifts in my creative goals over the last year, for several reasons, including my separation from Hania, who was my wife and composer for many of the films I've been involved in. Bit of an odd topic to be discussing on a blog post, but considering that our online identities have been tied so closely together, and that much of our individual audiences overlap, I figure it's worth clarifying to the people who've been asking about it. I know a lot of you are bummed about the situation, but I'm still doing animation, and Hania's still doing amazing music through her new site and youtube channel. It's a big change, and from an artistic standpoint, I'm more sorry about losing such an inspiring creative partnership than anyone. But I know this is best for our individual progress as artists, and I can't wait to hear and see the incredible work she'll produce in future.
As I mentioned earlier, my creative priorities have shifted over the last year. I've become restless with my current skills, style and the subject matter of my work. I'm on a massive creative high, and am hungry for new ideas. I don't know where it's all going but for the first time in years, I'm excited to just let the creative drive and inspiration take me where it wants to.
As always, thank you all for following my work, sharing it, commenting (yes, even the relentless questions about Tarboy 2 😉 and simply just watching my videos. Living life as a conflicted artist is much easier having kickass fans who back me up. Love you guys!

Comments Thread For: Mayweather: This is One of My Best Camps So Far
Floyd Mayweather Jr. hasnt had fights as close together as his May 4 victory over Robert Guerrero and his Sept. 14 showdown with Saul Canelo Alvarez since 2001.
Boxings pound-for-pound king has fought just five times in the past 5½ years as well. But even at 36, Mayweather isnt at all concerned about facing an unbeaten, 23-year-old junior middleweight just four months and 10 days after dominating Guerrero at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

This is comforting to hear. I expected as much but I'm glad to hear him say it. As he gets older, he knows what works and what doesn't work.

Yeah, good to hear no doubt. I really think PBF is gonna make this a very one-sided affair. Canelo looks bad in his open workout. His footwork shadow boxing and around the bag was slow and he seemed to run out of steam towards the end. He's gonna gas after round 8 and Mayweather is gonna potshot his eye closed.

funny it is true that he will be sharper than ever before. thats hard to imagine. the only drawback to being more active is he will also be more injury prone. it would be something if he lost a fight cuz he suffered an injury like andre berto. it happened against castillo and he left that fight with many feeling he lost.

Floyd or Roger have been saying this for the past decade. Nothing new here. When has he ever taken training camp lightly?

This is great to hear, and is expected. I'm glad that, at the age of 36, Mayweather is choosing to fight much more frequently. He seems to have a strong ambition to end his career on a positive note, and he wants to cement his legacy. He's mentioned it several times recently, but he wants to give the fans the best fights out there, and exciting fights.
I think he's proved that he's going in that direction starting with the fight against Cotto. Many people thought Mayweather "lost a step" or was "losing his legs" because he got hit a lot, and wasn't using his typical elite footwork.. But in all reality, he chose to stand toe to toe and fight Cotto (for the fans). At least that's the way he put it, and I tend to believe him because he could've easily danced around a peppered Cotto at will.
The Ghost fight was the complete opposite, however. He returned to his footwork, speed, in-and-out, straight right and dodge, self. It was a beautiful boxing display, and a masterpiece of defense.. Unfortunately, some people now are saying he ran that whole fight. I think he dominated, and really could've knocked Robert out. Wish he would have.
So now we have the Canelo fight.. The biggest fight of Mayweather's career. The biggest fight of Canelo's career. Mayweather coming off a lackluster (to average fan's point of view) performance agianst The Ghost. I fully expect grade-A Mayweather for this blockbuster. I expect him to throw bombs with precision like his fight against Gatti. I know that's a bold statement, and i'm not trying to knock Canelo at all, but I just think we're really going to see the best Mayweather we've seen in 10 years, even though that defies the logic of age.

I agree with this 100%, your casual boxing fan(twitter, and/or fb person) these are the only people who feel that fmj last outing was horrible. To me if you don't understand the true form of boxing, and the art that it is when it's being displayed like he does and/or can do then just don't comment on it. I can't sit here and say don't watch boxing, but just leave the ratings and comments to TRUE fans..
But that would be in a perfect world right..lol

Motorola RAZR MAXX pictures and hands-on
Just how important is a good battery life on a smartphone to you? Very according to Motorola. With that in mind its been busy working away at its Motorola RAZR MAXX, a smartphone that doesn't skimp on features, but most importantly won't die on you before the day's out.
The Motorola RAZR MAXX is no shrinking violet. It's got a huge 4.3-inch display with a thick border surrounding it, meaning you almost have to stretch you hand around the device when making a call and you'll certainly be aware of it while it's in your pocket.
Yet Moto has managed to keep the waistline down to an impressive 8.99mm, which helps explain why it feels far lighter than it looks – 145g.
There's a slight chin at the top of the rear of the phone in order to accommodate the 8-megapixel camera and LED flash. The power button is located on the right hand side of the phone - as you look at the display - just around the point your forefinger would rest when taking a call in your left hand. Perhaps we're being pernickety but we have concerns that we might inadvertently switch the phone off mid-conversation.
There's no removable back cover with the SIM, micro at that, being inserted in the bottom left side of the phone. The protective door, which also leads to the microSD card slot, felt a little flimsy especially as you need to pull it right back to access either port.
Found on the top of the phone is an HDMI, microUSB and 3.5mm headset jack neither of which comes with cumbersome pullout door, so despite Motorola protecting the phone with a splashguard coating we wouldn't recommend putting it in too much proximity to any fluid.
A headset jack positioned at the top of the phone is always preferable because it makes it easier to take the phone out of your pocket without damaging your plugged in headphones.
Fire up the phone and an impressively vibrant Super AMOLED Advanced display greets you. It's protected by Corning Gorilla Glass and has a resolution of 540x960 pixels. It really is quite stunning, especially when you turn the brightness to full, which you can afford to do thanks to the mammoth battery life, right?
So far so good. Now for the not so good. Once switched on it's immediately apparent that this is no Android Ice Cream Sandwich phone. Well not yet anyway. Running on Gingerbread 2.3 from launch, Moto hopes to upgrade the phone to ICS by the end of Q2 2012.
The processor is also only dual-core 1.2GHz. It seems ridiculous to baulk at a processor of this magnitude, but the truth is with more and more smartphones featuring quad-core processors the bar has been raised. To be fair when playing with the phone it was a far from lethargic experience, though it did take a while for images to appear on any shortcuts we set.
Motorola has also included its innovative "Smart Actions" feature, also found on the previous RAZR. You can set the RAZR MAXX to administer specific functions depending on where you are and what you're doing.
For example, have a meeting scheduled in your Google Calendar and the RAZR MAXX will automatically put itself in silent mode. What's more should you have... erm…. a wife who's about to go into labour for example, you can set a VIP number (ie, your wife's) which will overrule the Smart Action and ring as normal. There are plenty of other actions to have a play with, such as automatically firing up the music player as soon as a pair of headphones are inserted.
The MotoCast app is also on board which enables you to access music, documents and photos from a remote computer either by streaming or downloading it to the Motorola RAZR MAXX. The files will then be stored locally on the phone, meaning you can access them even when offline. The remote computer will have to be switched on in order to access the files originally, but it makes for a useful alternative to cloud storage.
In terms of memory we're looking at 1GB RAM and 16GB ROM, with a 16GB microSD card also included, though it can support cards of up to 32GB, which we'd recommend investing in especially if you plan to use the MotoCast app.
Yet, as Motorola kept telling us, the Motorola RAZR MAXX is all about a long battery life. So all that's left to say, according to the manufacturer, is that the 3300 mAh capacity battery should provide up to 1,056 minutes talktime, the "longest of any smartphone" according to Moto, and over 25 days standby.
We'll be bringing you a full in-depth review of the Motorola RAZR MAXX before you have time to run one out of juice.
The Motorola RAZR MAXX is available now from Clove, Expansys and Amazon.
What are your first impressions of the Motorola RAZR MAXX? Let us know.

Recipe says to spoon Talespoons onto baking tray but think it hould be teaspoons.
First batch was as above like little sponge biscuits and as I wanted them to be crispy, when cooking my second batch, when they were almost done, I pressed them down with a palette knife and they came out exactly as I wanted them.
Could not taste the almonds much so next time will do as the lady above and add a little almond essence.
I made these to accompany a classic syllabub .

|Exercise regulation of intestinal tight junction proteins.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23134759 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Gastrointestinal distress, such as diarrhoea, cramping, vomiting, nausea and gastric pain are common among athletes during training and competition. The mechanisms that cause these symptoms are not fully understood. The stress of heat and oxidative damage during exercise causes disruption to intestinal epithelial cell tight junction proteins resulting in increased permeability to luminal endotoxins. The endotoxin moves into the blood stream leading to a systemic immune response. Tight junction integrity is altered by the phosphoylation state of the proteins occludin and claudins, and may be regulated by the type of exercise performed. Prolonged exercise and high-intensity exercise lead to an increase in key phosphorylation enzymes that ultimately cause tight junction dysfunction, but the mechanisms are different. The purpose of this review is to (1) explain the function and physiology of tight junction regulation, (2) discuss the effects of prolonged and high-intensity exercise on tight junction permeability leading to gastrointestinal distress and (3) review agents that may increase or decrease tight junction integrity during exercise.

The players that take the time to work on a consistent long toss program are the same guys that take the time to work harder in the cage. Take the time to work harder at the game. I don't know what others experience is with long toss outside of their own kids experience. But from my experience the players that long toss on a consistent basis simply have stronger arms than those that do not and have not. In fact its not even close. But that is just my experience with players over many years. If your experience leads you to see something different fine.

My son is a pretty good pitcher and he doesn't throw around 300 feet, and he told me that most of the pitchers don't throw that far as well. In the past year, I have seen ONE ML player (not pitcher) that threw consistantly well over 300 feet in a game, and I watch a lot of bb. So I was wondering if you could support your above statment with examples you have seen with your eyes or video of pitchers throwing 300 feet.Are you confusing "tossing" with "throwing"?

So if throw and toss are the same, then you are saying that you have yet to see a good pitcher who can't toss around 300 feet. I am sure there are plenty of good pitchers out there that cannot or don't toss (throw) 300 feet or even hit 90.
