ATLANTA -- With minutes to go before his scheduled execution, Warren Hill was granted a stay of execution.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals granted a temporary stay, meaning Hill will not be executed tonight.
Both the US and Georgia Supreme Courts denied stays of execution for Hill.
The Georgia court's 5-to-2 decision was released Tuesday afternoon, hours before Hill's 7 p.m. execution time.
On Monday, Georgia Judge Thomas Wilson also declined to consider a request for habeas relief for Hill.

Hill's lawyers have argued he is mentally disabled and therefore shouldn't be executed. Georgia law prohibits the execution of mentally disabled offenders.
The state has argued the defense failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Hill is mentally disabled.
Hill's lawyers asked the judge to consider new evidence in the case. They submitted statements from three doctors who originally testified in 2000 that Hill was not mentally disabled. All three doctors have since changed their opinion and now say he is mentally disabled.
The judge says the request for reconsideration is procedurally barred and that the new evidence doesn't establish a miscarriage of justice.
Hill was sentenced to death in Lee County after killing a fellow inmate in 1990. At the time, he was in prison for shooting his 18-year-old girlfriend to death in 1986.

Made this for Father's day and everyone absolutely loved it! I loved that it's not as juicy as other Tres Leches Cakes (which typically they are very juicy) so if you prefer it juicier, add more, and if not, half it like others have said. For me however, it was a perfect combination of just slightly crumbly and juicy. Plus, WAY more easier to make than other Tres Leches recipes.

Since there is zero benefit of adding him, that wouldn't take much.

Yes. Totally agree. Either side is just losing at this point.

This is embarassing.
Someone really doesn't want him playing basketball anymore.
Eyes closed, head first, can't lose.
Just when you think our administration can't make this worse, they do. What an incredible mess for our basketball team.
How bloody petty can this administration get?
I don't think I'll ever understand this. I'm not siding one way or another because honestly, I don't really care. But I thought it was always considered a priveledge, not a right to play on a squad. Can't you be removed for any reason, as long as your scholarship to school is still honored? He wasn't kicked out of school, right?

Video: Water Main Break Closes Connecticut Ave. In Chevy Chase
Video: Tree Falls On Wires In Area Of Chevy Chase Main Break
Video: RAW: Water Main Break Closes Connecticut Ave. In Chevy Chase
CHEVY CHASE, Md. (WUSA9) -- One outbound lane is now open on Connecticut Avenue in Chevy Chase, after a massive water main break snarled traffic coming and going Tuesday.
The break in the 54 inch main bled out 60 million gallons of water, about a third of the WSSC total daily usage, in about 4.5 hours Monday night. It sent water geysering 30 feet in the air.
A downed tree that took out power lines briefly stalled workhas put the brakes on water main repair work. Crews finally reopened one outbound lane at about 4pm, but traffic leaving town was still a mess.
Jim Neustadt, a spokesman for WSSC, says the break occurred in the transmission line near the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and Chevy Chase Lake Drive around 8:00 Monday evening. Natural gas and electric lines run alongside the water main.
The break is in a pre-stressed concrete pipe that was popular back in the 1970s and 1980s. It turned out pipe made that way degraded more quickly.
The pipe had an acoustic monitoring cable inside to offer an early warning of breaks. But it's still unclear if there was any warning of thiis impending disaster.
WSSC customers are being advised to not hoard water since there is no chance they will run out. However, WSSC officials are asking all customers to reduce their water use by ten percent. The mandatory water restrictions are in place to allow the system to replenish while the large transmission line is being repaired. The water company estimates 60-million gallons of water was lost due to the break. Currently no customers are without water service.
According to a press release sent out by WSSC, the break occurred in a pre-stressed concrete cylinder pipe which was put into service around 1980. So far WSSC has not been able to determine the exact cause of the break.
Until repairs are complete, WSSC says it is imperative that all business and residential customers use water only as necessary. This means shorter showers and turning off faucets after washing hands and while brushing teeth. WSSC also suggests customers limit flushing toilets as much as possible. Other suggestions include putting off washing clothes and limiting use of dishwashers. These mandatory water restrictions apply to all WSSC customers, residential and business, in Prince George's and Montgomery counties. A violation carries a fine of up to $500 fine.

"I had just fallen asleep and I heard the Pow Pow Pow."
At first Sandra Bolden wasn't quite sure what those booms were, but as she ran to the front of her house to check on her children, they all soon realized what had just happened.
"After that we went to the door and we saw the bullet hole in my husband's truck outside, that's when we knew bullets had been fired, so that's when my husband got up and went outside to look at his truck. There's maybe 13 or 14 holes in his truck."
Two of Ms. Bolden's sons were very lucky they hadn't gone to sleep yet when bullets came flying through a window right over her 17 year old's bed."
"A bullet went through my baby's bed and his mattress in that room, from his mattress to the heater, and that was really scary when I saw that because it could have hit the pipe behind the heater."
Lieutenant Dean Harper with the Meridian Police says that this will be a tough case to solve given the seemingly random nature of the shooting.
"We're analyzing some of the evidence we collected and determining whether or not we can move forward in this case based on that information."
Ms. Bolden has one final message for the people responsible.
"I wish those guys wouldn't do that to me again because I didn't have anything to do with whatever they're shooting at, and whatever they're looking for at my house, trust me, it's not here, so please don't do that anymore."

Magnetic Signature of a Submarine
Application ID: 291
A vessel traveling on the surface or under water gives rise to detectable local disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field. These disturbances can be used to trigger weapon systems. The magnetic signature of a ship can be reduced by generating a counteracting magnetic field of suitable strength and direction based on prior knowledge of the magnetic properties of the vessel.
This model demonstrates a powerful technique in such modeling by treating the sheet metal as 2D faces embedded in a 3D geometry. Thus, comparatively inexpensive 2D face meshes are required in addition to the 3D volume mesh used for the surrounding medium. A tangential projection of the 3D equation is then solved on the 2D face mesh.

I hunted 80 last year. I had max points but split them to take my dad on his first antelope hunt. I was dissapointed initally with the numbers but the first antelope I saw on opening morning was in the high 70's with small forks on the ends of his prongs and some character points. Not a bad first antelope. Dad dropped the hammer on him. Although a "no no" to shoot the first buck you see when antelope hunting, had I not had my dad with me, I would have gladly filled my tag with that one! I passed a nice buck the evening of opening day that was following a heard of a hand full of does that had a great buck with them. I ran out of daylight on the big buck and had plenty of time to shoot the smaller buck (mid 70's). In retrospect, I probably should have shot him but I was close to getting a shot at the better buck. The next morning (day 2) I shot a 74" antelope that I think was a touch smaller than the buck I passed. This was only my second antelope but one thing I can say is the antelope seemed to have great mass measurments in this area especially above the prong. My main focus was to get dad a good first antelope and for me to hopefully shoot a 75" buck. I missed it by an inch. Maybe next time! I will say that although the hunt worked out great, the public land available to hunt did not seem to hold that many antelope. They were certainly there to be had but you really have to narrow down your search to what seemed to be a few key areas. This is definately not a hunt where you will see piles of antelope everyplace If you choose to hunt this area, talk the game wardens. They were a big help for me. One last thing....after we tagged out, we took a few days to just camp and relax. During this time we still went out to look for antelope from time to time. While doing so, we ran accross a huge buck that no doubt went 80+ inches and probably in the 16" neighborhood.
Thanks for all the feedback so far. Appreciate it.

I woke last night to the sound of thunder and unlike Bob Seger I didn't wonder how far away the lighting was striking. There was no flash, count, boom, it was a simultaneous flash-boom, very loud and quite startling, even for a guy addicted to fireworks. Being a typical middle aged man the first thing I do when waking in the middle of the night is head straight for the bathroom, storm on not.
In a startled-sleepy state I was somewhat amused by the unusual water fluctuations in the toilet bowl. You know how it looks on a windy day but at 3:30 am this morning it was quite dramatic. The sloshing my toilet bowl was amusing until I felt the house vibrating. It wasn't just the ominous rattle of too close thunder. At first the sensation was confusing and in my sleep-startle mode I wondered, "Is this what an earthquake feels like". Then it hit me like a thunder clap, literally, I was instantly awake and ushering my wife to the basement. I was trying to act cool while frantically searching for shoes for both of us thinking that if a tornado hits the house I don't want us crawling out of the rubble in our bare feet. I could deal with the pajamas in the rain but not bare feet on wet debris.
As we went down stairs we noticed that it began to hail, the stones hitting the north and west sides of the house. Then we heard a train. Keep in mind we live right next to the Hi-Line Bridge in Valley City and we hear dozens of trains pass every day. We can even tell the difference between a passing freight train and a passing coal train. We looked at each other perplexed at what was wrong with the sound of the train. It was a howling roar with a hint of a high pitched wind that didn't sound like any train we had ever heard. It was a frightening sound.
The sloshing toilet, the shaking house and now the roar that could be heard from inside the furnace room, hiding in our "safe place" with our whining dog Tucker, we wondered, could it actually be a tornado? As the power flickered on an off, making the lights flash randomly, I didn't make the smartest move. I ran upstairs to grab a couple of flash lights and a smart phone. I guess that reliance on a smart phone wasn't too smart. Next time I will just sit still and let myself feel unconnected.
We first used the phone to visit the National Weather Service website. Sure enough they issued a tornado warning for our area and had radar reports of a tornado in the area of our house, just north of town. I don't know if those reports have been confirmed at the time I write this. We next posted to my facebook page, identifying our location in the house in case rescuers needed to find us.
After 40 minutes of sitting in the furnace room the storm broke. We could see lightening all around to the north and east from our living room window. We could see the headlight of a train parked a mile east of the Hi-Line Bridge. That just served to confirm that whatever we heard, whatever was making the house shake like it was in an earthquake wasn't a train. We have observed that trains don't cross the bridge in high wind conditions or storms. It probably has something to do with the big iron lighten rod spanning the valley and anchored in a river.
I will drive around town now and take some pictures, if there is anything more interesting than some downed trees I will post them here. As I look out the living room window now I see on apple tree was snapped off about a foot from the bas and my plum tree is shredded. Too bad, that apple tree produces every year and the plum tree was laden with fruit after three years of not producing.
Before I look around town I will pray for those of you that received damage to your house or on your property. I sincerely hope no one was injured.
That is not a train that I hear.

rescued a point for the Los Angeles Galaxy in a tense 1-1 draw with Seattle
Sounders FC on Sunday at CenturyLink Field.
Seattle entered the season finale riding a franchise-worst four-match losing
streak and hoping to round into form heading into the postseason. The hosts
had the better of the play early on and grabbed the lead on the half-hour
Hometown fan-favorite Lamar Neagle set the scoring play in motion as he sent a
well-struck cross into the penalty area which allowed U.S. international Clint
Dempsey to run onto at the far post and tap it home for an easy finish and his
first goal in a Sounders kit.
Los Angeles had a golden opportunity to draw level three minutes before the
break when defender Omar Gonzalez got a head on a cross from Landon Donovan
and the ball appeared to cross the goal line, but it wasn't given and the
Sounders went into the break with the one-goal margin.
But Los Angeles kept coming and found its equalizer in the 78th minute when
Hector Jimenez headed a ball down to Keane, who smashed it past Seattle
goalkeeper Michael Gspurning on the half-volley.
The goal gave Los Angeles a boost and they went in search of a winner, but it
never materialized and the clubs were forced to settle for a point apiece.
The Galaxy end the regular season in third place in the Western conference
with the result and Colorado's loss to Vancouver on Sunday. They will face
Real Salt Lake in the West semifinals.
Seattle, meanwhile, ends the year on a seven-game winless run and finishes
fourth in the West. They will host Colorado in the knockout round.

California's Nuclear Freeze May Lead to Brownouts During Summer Heat
SONG's Has been Shut Down Since January
The 7.5 million people living near the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in Southern California just received some important visitors: Nuclear Regulatory Chairman Gregory Jaczko came by with other important dignitaries to discuss with them the small radiation leaks at the facility there.
The leaks are not a danger to the public, say NRC officials, who are still saying that they won't authorize the re-opening of the units until the agency and the utility can pinpoint the cause. The reactors in question have operated safely for 25 years, but Southern California Edison has recently replaced some steam generators that have deteriorating tubes. Given Japan's crisis, officials want to be doubly sure everything is in working order.
"Although the leak did not pose a threat to plant workers or the surrounding communities, and was less than the NRC requirement for shutdown, plant officials shut down the plant anyway," says Eliot Brenner, director of public affairs for the NRC, in his blog.
Specifically, the nuclear station that is known as SONGS, is located between Los Angeles and San Diego and is one of two nuclear facilities in California. Some wear and tear was found on SONG's Unit 2 in January and it was closed for repair as a result. Shortly after, more pronounced deterioration was found on Unit 3, which then suffered a small radiation leak.
SONGs has functioned safely and efficiently. As part of the routine maintenance, Southern California Edison has replaced parts. The utility spent about $680 million on the steam generators -- costs that are passed through to its customers. Edison says that the tubes inside of the generators are vibrating and creating subsequent friction, leading to leaks. That has to be fixed.
U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who represents the district, said that safety is of paramount importance. He expressed hope that the two units would be ready by summer. That's when the demand for energy would escalate and without SONGs, the threat of rolling blackouts would be pervasive.
"There's a balancing act," says Issa, to reporters. "We want to make sure we have 100 percent safety, but we also want to make sure the ratepayers are getting what they are paying for."
Absolute Guarantee
Citizen groups have said that without an absolute guarantee that the plants are safe, they should not re-open. They are accusing Southern California Edison of being more concerned about stemming their lost revenues than with safety.
As for the NRC, Jaczko says that the cause of the vibration and friction must be understood and stopped. The utility then needs to provide a remediation plan. Jaczko defended Southern California Edison, saying that it has always acted above board and with the best interest of its customers in mind.
Since Japan's Fukushima disaster, the commission has been in high gear. It has ordered U.S. plants to re-examine their flood and seismic risks, and then to develop secondary plans should the auxiliary power systems fail to perform. That was the key problem with respect to events in Japan in March 2011. To that end, the NRC has ordered plants here to have state-of-the art monitoring devices at the spent fuel pools. That's where the radioactive fuel rods are cooled before they are later stored in above-ground concrete encased steel barriers.
The extra precaution is necessary in today's times. And so are some additional questions, such as whether the global community ought to consider smaller nuclear reactors. Such "right-sized" units have some critical advantages over their larger counterparts in that they would avoid any Japan-like crisis.
Those 45-100 megawatt electric modules are transported by train to sites where they are then assembled and fueled. If more electric generation is required, the modules can be laid side-by-side. If one of them goes down, it can be maintained and the whole system does not have to be shut down. Ditto if one needs to be refueled. Their size gives them some cost advantages, as well as fewer regulatory hoops to jump through.
"I'd like to rebuild the United States first and then sell overseas," says Christopher Mowry, president of Babcock & Wilcox modular nuclear division, in an earlier talk with this writer. The goal, he adds, is keep the prices on par with competing generators at about $2 billion.
Despite the headwinds, the nuclear industry here is determined. It's already on route to build some larger reactors and soon after, it will pursue the smaller ones. Expansion will come, albeit it will occur more slowly than had been anticipated.

New England Nuclear Power Issues
Ken, interesting discussion on nuclear issues in California. New England has a few problems with nuclear power.
In a blog post of December 4, 2011, I wrote, "Thirty percent of New England's electricity generation is from nuclear plants (ISO Regional System Plan 2011). Three out of five of these five plants are past their design life time. All use mostly imported uranium, and exercise questionable safety by storing greater numbers of densely packed, spent fuel rods at the plants. Nuclear power plants have a finite lifetime. Replacing a decommissioned plant with another will be extremely expensive and time consuming. For example, an AP1000 nuclear power plant (Generation III+) built by Westinghouse will cost between $5B to $7B per reactor and be operational 60 months from receipt of order.

Design changes caused San Onofre Steam Generator failure & leaks
For more details on why design changes in the replacement steam generators at San Onofre are the most likely cause of premature wear and rupture of tubes, see
No rolling blackouts with San Onofre offline
California's energy grid operator states they have numerous contingency plans to avoid blackouts this summer with San Onofre shut down. And California Public Utility Commission data shows we have plenty of excess power in California without the California nuclear plants. So why are we living with the risk of becoming Fukushima USA? So Edison can make millions of dollars while we take all the risks.
According to NRC data, San Onofre has the worst safety record of all US nuclear power plants, so it was no surprise to see problems with these steam generators. And employees are punished for reporting safety problems. In fact, San Onofre has the highest rate of employee retaliation of all nuclear plants in the country.
A new study from nuclear expert, Arnie Gundersen, shows Edison made major design changes to the replacement steam generators. These changes are the likely cause of the steam generator failures.
We were lucky the tube rupture wasn't worse. Multiple tube ruptures can result in a nuclear meltdown. We cannot trust Edison to protect people over profits. They changed the steam generator design in order to increase their profits. The NRC approved these defective steam generators last time. Do you trust Edison or the NRC to do it right next time?

Nuclear plants in "ring of fire" and subject to tsunamis
Nuclear plants in high earthequake zones and
close enough to an ocean to be subject to tsunamis
should be closed. They are unsafe even though
their safety and other systems are operating safely.
Brownouts Unlikely
Last time I checked thenCalifornia ISO's summer assessment for 2012, Southern California had about a 22% surplus of supply over the expected peak demand...before considering the complete loss of the San Onofre plant. If San Onofre is lost, reserves for this summer would drop to around 14%, which is on the low side but still likely to be adequate.
Perhaps there's cause for concern, but there's no cause for alarm unless other major power plants suffer outages or a major gas pipeline becomes unavailable or... There are ways to mitigate the risksmofminadequate supply, but guarantees are quite expensive.
Jack Ellis, Tahoe City, CA
Headline doesn't quite match topic
There are 12 paragraphs on the safety issues at the nuclear plant and two paragraphs about a possibility of brownouts. That makes your choice of headlines rather odd to me. Couldn't you have chosen the headline "Safety concerns delay restarting of nuclear plant" subtitle "May cause brownouts in Summer", to provide a more accurate summary of what the article is about?
California Nuclear Freeze may lead to summer blackouts
So the "Citizen groups have said that without an absolute guarantee that the plants are safe, they should not re-open." I assume that no one in these groups ever crosses the street because there is no absolute guarantee that they won't be hit by a car. And living in California is there an absolute guarantee that they won't be hurt in an earthquake? Is there such a guarantee that a blade won't come off a windmill and hurt someone, or that no condors will be killed by flying into a windmill?
It is ridiculous statements like this that make a mockery of citizen group concerns and lead to the inability of any utility to provide reliable power. I didn't realize that in life there are any "absolute guarantees" except perhaps the guarantee that ignorant citizens will oppose anything and everything that has to do with technology.

Cross Cultural Dialogue
Roz Wollmering
My Side
I entered the school brimming with ideas, innovative teaching methods, and the desire to have an effect. It was the first day of school in Guinea-Bissau, the tiny West African country where I had been assigned as an English teacher with the Peace Corps. After completing an exhausting and demanding twelve weeks of training in language as well as cross-cultural and technical skills, I felt more than adequately prepared for the challenge of teaching in a poor school system designed on a colonial model.
Inside the building, I noticed a strange absence of noise. A few students wearing white school jackets rambled about in the dimly-lit hallway. As I neared the stairs to the administrative office, I heard a mango drop to the ground outside and a sudden chorus of children's voices. Hoping to catch a glimpse of the fastest one carrying off the ripe prize, I looked out into the schoolyard and saw instead piles of old desks, broken bricks, and tree branches. They must be cleaning the school grounds, I thought to myself. When I entered the office, the principal and his assistant were looking at a class schedule posted on the wall and discussing the large number of teachers that still needed to be hired by the Ministry. After greeting me warmly by inquiring about my health, my family back in America, and my life in general, they informed me that my teaching load had been increased by eight hours since the previous week. "No problem," I responded, "I love to teach."
I glanced at my watch, excused myself, and hurried to my first class, which was located a short distance behind the main building. Three lines of classrooms were arranged in rows, like military barracks. Since it was the first day of classes, I hopped on my bicycle and coasted right up to the door of classroom number nineteen—my classroom. "Always wiser to be punctual and prepared than tardy and unequipped," I told myself. Two students were sitting inside the classroom, playing cards, when I entered. I looked at the official enrollment number of forty-seven and asked earnestly, "Where are the other students?" The card players faltered a bit and then mumbled, "They'll come, by and by."
"Well, let's begin without them," I suggested, with a disapproving stare at the cards. They shrugged their shoulders and offered to go and find the students. It certainly didn't seem reasonable to me to teach two students and then have to teach the same material again when the others showed up. Be flexible, I reminded myself, and so I agreed.
One week later, there were twenty-six students outside my classroom, waiting for the rest of their classmates to appear "by and by." They refused to enter until all the enrolled students had showed up. I noticed that not only were students absent, but teachers as well. Meanwhile, the principal and his assistant were still discussing the schedule on the wall, moving multi-colored pins, and deliberating about how best to resolve the shortage of teachers. That morning I had stopped by the administrative office again just to make sure that I had understood correctly the radio announcement made by the Minister of Education the previous evening. I thought that he had announced that classes were in session and was quite relieved when the principal verified my assessment. He then asked me to teach an additional two hours a week. Lacking the experience to rebut his statement that "when there's a lack of teachers, we all need to pitch in a few extra hours," I nodded in consent. Considering that I wasn't actually teaching any students at the time, two extra hours didn't seem much of a burden, and I left, feeling only a mild premonition that I might regret it later.
By the end of the third week, I had managed to convince, cajole, and beg my students to enter the classroom. What other teachers did was their decision, I figured, but as for me, I was itching to do something other than wait on shore like a seafarer's wife. Once the students had entered, I discovered to my amazement that I couldn't get them to quiet down. Ignoring my requests to pay attention, they continued to socialize. Daisy painted her nails and chatted with Aminata about the new discotheque called "Temptation" that had just opened across from the mosque. Bebe took Nanda's notebook and wouldn't return it. Fatu gave me the peace sign and went outside to urinate. A few others followed. Students wandered in late with irrelevant excuses like, "It's hot," or, "I'm tired." Nelson and Marcelino held competitive "jive" talks while their classmates gathered around encouraging first one and then the other. Other students, whose teachers were absent, hung around the open windows, throwing crumpled-up balls of paper to their friends. Others simply came to stare at me, a white woman who rode a bicycle to school. They shoved up against the outside wall, clambered over each other's backs, and stuck their heads in for a peek, yelling, "White woman, white woman, there she is!" The next day, still more "window students" appeared to torment me. Such behavior continued daily and eventually I began to yell at them—"Get away from the windows!"—and resorted to pushing them out of viewing range. After a month at my new post, I reigned over thirty hours a week of complete disorder in a pseudo-classroom kingdom. This is madness, I thought.
For the next month, I devoted the first twenty minutes of class solely to establishing peace and quiet. I was determined. I did this with gentle coaxes at first, but gradually evolved to using threats ("I'll call the school disciplinarian!") and offering sweet enticement ("If you're good, I'll let you out early!"). Late students were not allowed to enter, regardless of their excuses. It seemed the only way to control the chaos. Once I had my students' attention, I made them copy page after page of notes from the blackboard into their notebooks. I wanted to inundate their minds with grammar rules and vocabulary lists so they wouldn't have time to talk. Other times, I made them repeat sentences in unison as if they were Berlitz parrots. Audio-lingual theorists suggest that language is acquired through repetition of recurring patterns, a proposition effectively demonstrated when I overheard my students mimicking me: "Be quiet! Go sit down!"
When the drudgery of memorization and repetition began to bore even me, I resorted to playing Bingo, Simon Says, or Do the Hokey-Pokey. I went to elaborate lengths to make nifty prizes for positive reinforcement and spent countless hours designing educational posters for the walls. For a time, I concentrated on visual stimulation and drama to reinforce right-brain learning, but the posters disappeared overnight and the drama idea erupted one day during a production of a local folk tale: my fellow teachers disapproved of thrashing crocodiles, bellowing hippos, and trumpeting elephants during school hours. The students whined like eight-year-olds and threw verbal tantrums when they could no longer perform or play games. I rather enjoyed their drama productions myself, and I figured they were reviewing English grammar and vocabulary by playing the games. But deep inside of me arose a persistent, nagging voice: "Surely you can do more than baby-sit."
Gradually, as discipline turned my classroom into a virtual boot camp, my classes began to develop a catatonic personality. Somber students stared back at me or out into space. Apathy replaced the boisterous noise I had grown accustomed to fighting. They refused to open their notebooks until I'd repeated the request three times. Orders and instructions mollified them, sure enough, but now they didn't seem to have opinions, concerns, or even interests. Some simply put their heads down and slept. Sit and listen they did, but participate and discuss and collaborate they didn't. Their passive resistance soon infuriated me, and I yelled in frustration at them, "I am here to help you. Don't you understand that?" They stared at me in dazed disbelief. "What do you want?" I implored them with open hands: "Do you want me to entertain you? To treat you like military recruits? To punish you?" They shrugged their shoulders and sighed, "Teacher, we are pitiful. That's life." "Go," I told them. "Go home. Get out." They refused, of course.
Against my better judgment, I finally called in the school disciplinarian. The moment he arrived, every single student in the classroom jumped up to attention. They greeted him in perfect unison with a resounding, "Good morning, Mr. Disciplinarian." When he ordered them to sit down, an immaculate silence spread throughout the classroom. I was astounded. They looked so serene and innocent as they waited attentively for his words. Their perfect composure made them look like harmless babes, and I began to imagine that they would convince him of their purity and that I was the evil abuser. I began to wonder, in fact, if this wasn't perhaps partially true.
The disciplinarian picked out several students who were not wearing school jackets, and a few who were but had not buttoned the top button. He accused them of intentionally belittling their American teacher and expelled them for two weeks. He then read a list of seven students' names. Since these students had registered for classes but had not yet paid their school fees, he expelled them for the year, adding an insult as they crept out of the classroom. He then turned to me and said, "If any of these students ever give you a problem, no matter how small, you tell me, and I will expel the entire class for the entire year. Not one of them will pass, and they will all have to repeat the year." As I struggled to come up with a suitable response, he turned back to the students, held up one finger, and challenged them, "Just one of you try it. Just one, and I'll whip your ass." And then he left. I stood in horrified shock and embarrassment. I had just lost thirteen students. The students said nothing. They stared at me and waited to see what I would do next. I felt angry and stupid and offered a feeble apology. I fumed all the way home.
That night I dreaded going back to the classroom the next morning. I thought about ending my Peace Corps service and going home. I was sure I could find a justifiable excuse for a graceful exit. It was now the third month of teaching and quarterly grades were due in ten days. All I had managed to teach were two review units. Two review units! Most of these students couldn't even meet the standards of the previous year's curriculum! How did they manage to pass? I was tempted to flunk them all myself this time around, but what would that accomplish? I looked in dismay at the stack of twenty-five lesson plans I had diligently prepared during the late night hours of the past two months and realized that I would never use them.
So I switched strategies. That night I drew up a "No More" list. No more colorful visual aids to catch their attention. No more fancy vocabulary and grammar handouts. No more games. No more prizes. And no more school disciplinarian to resolve crises.
My next unit began with the following dialogue:
Teacher: I am angry. I cannot teach because you do not respect me.
Students: No, no, Teacher. Please, Teacher, please.
Teacher: I don't want to teach you. I'm leaving.
Students: No, Teacher, no. Please, Teacher. You see, you don't understand our situation.
Teacher: Well, tell me, just what is your "situation?"
This time the dialogue was theirs to complete and resolve.
Their Side
It was Tino and Mando who came and told us that a skinny, white woman had jumped off a bicycle, run into our classroom, and tried to teach them English that morning. Tino and Mando weren't even in our class. They were just sitting there waiting to use the soccer field when she rushed in like the rains. They weren't sure what to say because she looked so strange. Her hair was all falling down, and she wore a dress that looked like an old faded bed covering that one might have bought from a Mauritanian vendor in the used clothing market. We all walked over to Nito's house and found a few more of our classmates sitting out back drinking frothy tea. We decided, even though school hadn't really started yet, that we'd go the next day to see what this new American teacher looked like. Tino and Mando assured us that she was as ugly as a newly hatched, greedy-eyed vulture.
We knew that almost no one would be at school yet. Most students were still on the farms, finishing the harvest, and others were still trying to register and pay their fees. The Ministry had changed the admission rules again. All registrations completed at the end of the last year were now declared invalid, and so we had to wait in line, get new photographs, show our papers, and pay fees all over again—either that, or pay some official to put our names on the list, which actually was much easier than completing the registration process. We listened to the radio broadcasts of the Minister, reminding parents about the importance of school. Everybody knew he sent his children to the private Portuguese School.
As it turned out, we agreed to enter the classroom just when everyone else did. We always say: "Cross the river in a crowd and the crocodile won't eat you." From that first day, she never demanded our respect. She didn't seem to care if we wore our school jackets or not. She didn't write the teaching summary on the board like our other teachers, and she was always in the classroom before the bell rang. That meant we could never stand up and honor her entrance. She should have known not to enter until after the bell rang. And she never took roll call first, as she should have, and so we continued talking and doing our homework. Of course, by this time, other students had heard about our white woman teacher and were coming by to look at her and watch our class. We couldn't resist joining in the fun. At times, we believed she was serious, for example, when she told the students outside class to leave. But where were they supposed to go? The area in front of her classroom was the designated student recreation area. Instead of ignoring them and us, she berated them with gestures and scolded us in Portuguese. Her Portuguese wasn't bad, but it sounded so funny when she said, "Spoiled brats!" that you just had to laugh. We laughed even harder every time she said "Peace Corps" because in our Kriolu language, "Peace Corps" sounds like "body of fish." We called her the "fish-body teacher" after that.
Classes were interesting because they were unpredictable. She kept switching her methods, and we were never sure what to expect next. For a while she insisted that the mind equips itself and a teacher must not interfere in the process. She called that, "silent way." After the "silent way" came "Total Physical Response." We gave actions to everything and pretended to be desks, pencils, and other classroom articles. We twisted our bodies around and played "What Am I?" Then we role-played imaginary dialogues between, for example, two books fighting to get into a book bag at the same time. One day she taught us the song, "In the Jungle." We loved that song. No, you couldn't really call her a consistent person, but we all have our little ways. Even so, "a cracked calabash can still be mended." Obviously, she cared about us because she worked so hard to prepare class. Most of our teachers were so busy at home or working a second or third job that they often missed class, and when they did show up, they had never prepared anything. It's true that we've already learned more English this quarter than we learned all last year.
We always wanted to do more activities and play new games, but she thought we needed to write. Because we didn't have books, she kept demanding that we copy information down on paper. But Guineans are oral people. We learn by talking; we make discoveries by sharing our experiences; and we help others by listening and contributing to conversations. Our history is a collective memory, and we are continually passing our knowledge on to others in our speech. She wanted us to raise our hands, one by one, and then talk individually. To us that seemed wrong.
She confused us even more by saying pointless things with vigor—"Wake up! Discover yourselves!"—or asking questions that had no obvious answers: "Why are you here?" or "What are you going to do?" Then she'd wait with such an intent expression on her face that we'd say almost anything to try to please her. We always enjoyed her facial expressions because they foretold what was to follow—anger, joy, disappointment, praise, or contentment. She really should have learned by then how to hide or show her feelings to suit her purpose more effectively, but she didn't seem to care. In some ways, she was just like a child.
We just didn't understand why it was our thinking that needed to change, and never hers. She wore a "bad eye" charm around her neck, so we thought she was superstitious, but when we asked her, she said she wore it to show respect for our culture. We asked her if that was why foreigners always wanted to buy our ritual masks and initiation staffs, but she didn't answer. She told us we didn't need World Bank handouts and International Monetary Fund debts. What we needed, she said, was to learn how to raise fish. Was she crazy? We need computers, not fish! Balanta women always know where to find fish. "Teacher," we told her, "you will come and go, but we stay here." How could she understand our culture? She had only seen the rains fall once.
After a while, the novelty wore off, and we got tired of even a white woman's ways. It's hard—waking up at daybreak, doing morning chores, and then going to school for five hours without eating breakfast. Her class was during the last hour, and we were as hungry as wild animals by that time. Some of us lived far from school, and if our step-uncle or older cousin-brother told us to go to the market before school, we had no choice. We were forced to run to her class with only a bellyful of worms because we knew she wouldn't listen to our misfortunes even if we arrived two minutes late. It's true! In America, time is money, but here time is different. Time is just now, nothing more.
It wasn't only that we had responsibilities at home that came before school—sometimes we were sick. If we had malaria, we'd put our heads down and sleep. And if we had "runny belly," we'd just run out of class when the cramping started. The dry season was so hot that we faded away like the songs of morning birds. One day she yelled at us. We admit, we weren't cooperating, but people are like that. We forgive each other and just go on. "That's life," we'd tell her, "a log, as long as it stays in the water, will never become a crocodile." Many things we just accepted as natural, but she considered such an attitude "fatalistic."
Finally, she called the school disciplinarian on us. She should have done that much earlier, in our opinion. We played our roles by allowing him to throw out a few students, because we all knew they'd be back as soon as he got some cashew-wine money from them. Anyway, that's the right of elders in our culture, and we're taught in the bush to live by the established rules. We didn't understand why she apologized after he left, and we couldn't believe it when she undermined his authority by apologizing for his "poisonous pedagogy," as she called it. Like a Guinean woman, she certainly had courage.
Today, she did something different again. She came in and wrote a dialogue on the board. She asked questions about the dialogue that made us disagree. We had a lively discussion in English and then got into our groups and began designing some solutions for the problem presented in the dialogue. We always say, "When the ants unite their mouths, they can carry an elephant."
We know she'll stay, too. We saw it in her eyes.

|"We're on top of the world! And, so HAWT."
Rafael Nadal totally ruined our plan. We were supposed to make our return to tennis together, and then he had to ruin it by picking up that stupid stomach thingy and withdrawing from the Australian Open. I'm never making plans with you again, Rafa. NEVAH.
Soooooo. Anything exciting happen while I was away getting hitched and soaking in my new married life? Duh, of course. Andy Murray finally breaking through and getting that Grand Slam monkey of his ghostly white back (see photo below) tops my list. I definitely was hoping for more tears, sobs or blubbering after he clinched match point at the Flushing Meadows, but he's British. It's like trying to get Victoria Azarenka to take it down 1000 notches. Ain't. Gonna. Happen. His win over Roger Federer at the Olympics only a few weeks after losing the Wimbledon final was so impressive. Will 2013 be the long-awaited moment when a Brit is once again named "The All England Lawn Tennis Club Single Handed Champion of the World?"
|"Look at me. You're useless, sun."
Serena Williams is tennis's golden girl at the moment – or is she one of the Golden Girls of tennis? Hell, she even lives in South Florida, so I guess both. I'll be damned if she isn't seemingly getting better with age after having one of her best seasons on the WTA tour at the age of 31, winning Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and the singles and doubles gold with sister Venus at the Olympics. If ReRe's winning run in Brisbane is any indicator, she hasn't stepped off the gas having now won 52 of her last 54 matches. But what's with her swapping the actress-dates-rapper story for a rumored tennis coach-dates-tennis baller one aka Patrick Mouratoglou? Whatever's going on with them, it's working.
|"Keep your eyes on the prize, Patty."
What else? Well, Maria Sharapova completed a Career Slam by winning the French Open. That was pretty cool. But, the Russian revealed at the U.S. Open that she and fellow giant Sasha Vujacic called off their engagement, and now she's rumored to be dating Grigor Dimitrov. There's even a video encounter to "prove" it. Novak Djokovic ended 2012 as the year-end No.1 for the second consecutive year; he held it for most of last year with Fed holding the top spot in middle. Speaking of the Swiss, he won his 17th major title at the All-England Club, while Vika won her first in Oz.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH PETRA KVITOVA?! Sorry. Had to get that out.
I love this time of year. Like any beginning, it can set the tone for the entire season. There's so much potential and possibility. But it's not how you start – it's how you end. Will any lady baller be able to stand tall against ReRe? The top women can't even take sets from her right now, nevermind win matches. Maybe it'll be some precocious up-and-comer with a big game and no fear a la Shrieka circa 2004; but they don't come around that often anymore.
Rafa won't be anywhere near his best level when he returns, so that leaves Nole, Muzz and Fed to scoop up the Grand Slam goodies. Or maybe someone else will break through their stranglehold on the majors. But who – Juan Martin del Potro, Tomas Berdych, David Ferrer, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga? Maybe one of the young, massive-serving ballers like Milos Raonic or Jerzy Janowicz will shock and awe or Grisha will fulfill his tremendous potential. That being said, it's hard to see anyone breaking through the Top 3 especially at Slams. But as Rafa takes time to sharpen up his game, that will leave a hole in tourney draws for opportunist ballers ready to make their move.
Game on.
P.S. Getting married was and is awesome. Don't believe the "it's just a piece of paper" bullshit. Even though Kalil and I have been together almost 13 years, it does feel different in a great way. Plus, the reception was phenomenal. I danced my ass off. Seriously, I had to scrape it off the floor. This dance party was uber-special. So, if you're thinking there's no point in getting married because you already "feel" married, I say take the plunge and do it for reals.

Makes one 9-inch tart
Honey-Wheat Pretzel Crust
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Blend in a food processor until combined and press into a tart pan.
Bake for 20 minutes, then remove and let cool.
Milk Chocolate Ganache
10 oz milk chocolate (chips or chopped)
pinch of salt
1 cup heavy cream
Melt the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until scalding. Put the chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl or into your food processor. Add in the cream and pinch of salt; let sit for a minute.
Turn on the food processor and beat until combined, or use a spatula to combine together.
Pour into the tart shell and place in the fridge for at least one hour before serving.
Sprinkle vanilla sea salt or potato chips on top.
Note: It tastes best when the tart sits out for about 20 minutes (the filling gets all creamy!) but Joe preferred it completely cold, go figure.

LANDOVER, Md. (WUSA9) -- The Washington Redskins are investigating an incident involving a fan and a security guard at Sunday's game.
An edited video posted to Vine shows what appears to be a fan being pushed down the stairs by a security guard in the upper Deck of FedEx Field.

I wanted to know if anyone has found another way around this as the number of domains that we host is going to continue to grow.

Yep, same thoughts here. Not sure if this is great news, or something with D10.
Very interesting indeed. The only thing I worry about is that they long ago said that they may have toss d10 early. So the question could be made is this move to eliminated some of its workload for power or other reasons. Hopefully it's just prep work. Do we know if d10 and d12 get their channels from the same earth stations?
Hopefully this is prep for all the encore and other rainbow media channels, and way early work in anticipation of all the new RSNs coming online in the next 9 months.
They may have upgraded D12 TP9 and TP10 first and just decided to pick D10 channels, or maybe there's more to it relative to the D10 issues. It's hard to tell until we see what they do with the D10 opened slots, if anything.

Videos with General Information About the Courts
The court system is the place where people go when they need help in settling differences of various kinds. However, the court system has its own set of rules and regulations – even its own words, sometimes – that can be confusing.
In this section there are some short videos with general information about how California's court system works.
It is hoped that these videos will help you understand how the court can help you.


text: Hey guys, wanted to get some stories or input on your experiences hunting these areas for mulies. My question is how soon do the animals move back into these areas after the fire? The area I hunt every year for deer burned in spots, not completely. Its been close to 2 months that it burned and we got hit with a great rain season so I'm assuming there will be some fresh green grass that I know these animals will love if it didn't burn too hot that is. Should I try these burned areas and just watch for flash flooding, downed trees, loose terrain, etc. or not waste my time with it and hunt other areas. The other thing is that this area is still closed due to the mentioned issues but is said to be opening quickly as I haven't been able to scout for myself, just curious what you all have experienced.

To start things off allow me to introduce myself, my name is Jamal Howard. I am one of the Orientation Leaders here at University of Washington Bothell. I look forward to getting to meet and know all of you, but first let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I am from Tacoma, Washington and am one of five children in my family. I am the oldest alongside my twin brother who I would like to point out is exactly four minutes younger than I am, but if you ever meet him he will say otherwise. Another thing about myself is that I enjoy going to the gym, and adventures and indulge in video games in my free time. As far as music goes I am pretty open to all kinds of music but I would have to say that one musician stands out the most to me, which is Kanye West. I just absolutely love his work and also I am inspired by him. So it is safe to say I have a bit of a Kanye obsession at times but I tend to keep it under control but be aware that if we discuss music he will inevitably come into the conversation.
Currently at the University of Washington Bothell I am in the major of Media and Communications and minoring in Business Administration. The most important aspect of Media and Communication that interest me is that it focuses on how people use messages. To generate meanings within and across various contexts, cultures, channels, and media. This field promotes the effective and ethical practice of human communication".

Four arrested in connection with burglary at Live Oak Stud
Published: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 5:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 5:03 p.m.
A registered sex offender, two brothers and a woman were arrested Thursday night in connection with a burglary and the theft of tools and a truck, all together worth more than $20,000, from Live Oak Stud.
Jeffrey Mason, 30; his brother Arthur Edward Mason, 27; registered sex offender Evodio Diaz, 31; and Carla Pilkons, 30, were arrested, according to a Marion County Sheriff's Office report. All four were charged with grand theft, grand theft of a motor vehicle and two counts of burglary of an unoccupied structure.
Burglaries were discovered Wednesday at two buildings on the horse farm. Generators, tools, two gas cans and a 2008 white Ford F250 were stolen.
Later that day, as Property Crimes Unit Detectives Steve Osborne and Rick Palmateer investigated the case, a deputy found the truck abandoned on the side of the road in the 5100 block of Northwest 27th Avenue.
The next day, Palmateer received a tip that the stolen generators were at a residence off Northeast 31st Street in Ocala. The detective and other deputies went there and recovered them.
During the investigation, officials interviewed Pilkons, who admitted taking part in the burglary, according to the Sheriff's Office report. Arthur Mason did, too, and told investigators that Diaz had sold one of the generators. Jeffrey Mason told detectives a similar story.
For his part, Diaz declined to talk to investigators.
According to a Sheriff's Office news release, the investigation revealed that the four traveled to the area of Like Oak Stud and parked nearby. Diaz and Arthur Mason walked onto the farm.
Soon afterward, Diaz called Jeffrey Mason, told him they had just stolen a truck and asked them to meet them down the road, according to the news release. They all then traveled back to the residence, where the generators, tools and gas cans were all unloaded and hidden inside the home.
Officials were able to recover all the stolen items, except for one generator.
State records show the Mason brothers both have served time in prison, Jeffrey for crimes including burglary, grand theft and trafficking in stolen property, and Arthur for aggravated assault with a weapon.
Diaz's multiple convictions include lewd and lascivious battery on a child under 16, grand theft and burglary, state records show. He was released in July 2012.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- Mitch Butler, the co-founder and COO of Image Vision, says he and his company have come up with software that can track obscene and inappropriate cyber communications between two people.
Butler says he came up with the idea after his daughter received a "sext" message from a teen who had sent a picture of his genitalia to her.
Now, he has a program that serves as an automated filter of messages. He says, in a nutshell, the software uses algorithms that teach computers how to detect obscene images and inappropriate language.
Butler said, " A human could maybe look at 5,000 images in an hour. One server with our software...50,000 plus."
The software, although currently used by social media companies to monitor images, can also be set up so the public or even government agencies can use it. Most recently, the Petraeus sex scandal is an example of how government agencies could benefit from the software he is developing, says Butler.
At the center of the Petraeus investigations are tens of thousands of e-mails between all of those people involved. Butler claims his software would help in sifting through all those communications.
Butler said, "We've actually had conversations with several different entities of the government. You know the three letters here...the three letters there."
The technology is currently only available to social media companies, but Butler hopes the public and government can get their hands on it sometime next year.
