Peter Glick, PhD (University of Minnesota) is the Henry Merritt Wriston Professor in the Social Sciences at Lawrence University, where he has taught since 1985.
In 2009, Dr. Glick was a Visiting Professor of Management and Organizations at the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. Dr. Glick's internationally recognized research on stereotyping and prejudice has successfully challenged prior conventional wisdom by revealing the surprising ways in which subjectively favorable beliefs about women and ethnic minorities can fuel and justify harmful discrimination.
Dr. Glick and collaborator Susan T. Fiske (Princeton University) have shown that "benevolent sexism" – beliefs that idealize women as wonderful but view them as weak and dependent on men go hand-in-hand with hostility toward women in nontraditional roles. More than 15 years of research (in over 50 countries) using Glick and Fiske's Ambivalent Sexism Inventory have documented that benevolent sexism predicts structural inequality (e.g., fewer women in high-powered business and government roles). Lab and field work has revealed that benevolently sexist (patronizing) discrimination undermines women at work (e.g., by denying them challenging assignments or critical feedback).
Watch Dr. Glick's talk Benevolent Sexism at Work delivered at Harvard Business School's 2013 conference Gender & Work: Challenging Conventional Wisdom (celebrating HBS's 50th anniversary of granting MBAs to women)
With Susan T. Fiske (Princeton) and Amy J. C. Cuddy (Harvard Business School), Dr. Glick is part of the team that developed the warmth-competence model, showing how these universal dimensions apply to judgments toward individuals and groups. Women and ethnic minorities often are judged as high on one dimension but low on the other – i.e., as warm but incompetent or competent but cold – creating double-binds. This model also informs organizational consulting by the Relational Capital Group. The Harvard Business Review classified the warmth-competence model as "breakthrough idea" in 2009.
Harvard Business Review article lists the warmth-competence model as a "breakthrough idea" for 2009.

The story has been read countless times in schools all around the world and has been adapted into animated and live-action films and plays.
One of the more recent adaptations was an original musical by lyricist Jim Christian and composer Tom Edward Clark that premiered at Weber State University in 2009, and was presented at the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival later that year.
Park City will have the opportunity to see "Sleepy Hollow" presented by the Egyptian Theatre's YouTheatre program on Friday, Dec. 7, and Saturday, Dec. 8.
Kirstie Rosenfield who directs the musical, which was chosen by YouTheatre director Jamie Wilcox, said the production takes some liberties with the original Irving story.
"It actually takes off in the middle of the play and the story become a little extrapolated," Rosenfield explained to The Park Record. "Since the legend itself has been around for a very long time and has been adapted in various incarnations various times. This particular story tries to think about why there was a legend of the Headless Horseman, which is not part of the original tale."
The challenge of presenting "Sleepy Hollow" at the Egyptian stems from the fact that the story has been told and retold throughout the generations, so audience expectations do run high.
"Many people know the story and have seen the cartoon or the movie that are based on it, and theatre can't reproduce the movie in terms of shock or magic, although the production we're doing does involve quite a bit of magic and illusion," Rosenfield said. "We are working with Paul Draper, who is a Utah-based magician, on some of those scenes and he is helping us with some magical moments that some of the actors engage in that are very cool.
"Those concepts have introduced the kids to some areas of acting that they may not have otherwise thought about as acting," she said. "In a way illusionists are actors, and it was very exciting for the kids to work with Paul."
While those methods do solve some of the production challenges, they don't address the other limitations that the actors and actresses need to overcome.
"You can't have people appear as spirits and such, but that's part of the fun of seeing how much you can do in a musical like 'Sleepy Hollow,'" Rosenfield said.
For example, in one part of the show, the Headless Horseman chases Crane and fights with him.
"But all isn't what it seems to be and a moment later the music changes dramatically and another Headless Horseman shows up," Rosenfield said. "So, we had to have two actors playing the headless horseman in different ways and that was one of the things my brain had to wrap around before I started directing."
Another challenge is working with 29 youth of all ages who at one time and another all appear on stage.
"The stage is not a really big stage to accommodate all these kids moving really fast, and there is not a lot of backstage area for prop storage as well," Rosenfield said. "However, the set designer and lighting designer worked with me to come up with ideas with lighting to lose as little space as possible of the set."
Adding to the stress level is the music.
"This play is also musically demanding, so that's been a real learning experience for the kids," Rosenfield said. "But they are working with a good music director, Nic Maughan, to help them achieve the best singing they can."
All these little elements have proven rewarding for Rosenfield, who has taught theatre at Utah State University and the University of Utah.
"The thrilling or 'Aha' moments come when the actors begin to understand a technique or what their characters are really trying to say, and it's astounding to see a relatively shy person open their mouth to sing and they are transformed," she said. "It's wonderful to see several of the kids who are developing their acting skills come to rehearsals and incorporate the characterizations that we have worked on into their mouths and bodies," she said. "The cherry on top is when they learn to put some of themselves into their roles."
The Egyptian Theatre will present the YouTheatre production of "Sleepy Hollow," an original musical on Friday, Dec. 7, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 8, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets range from $9 to $14 and are available at www.parkcityshows.com .

If you have any questions you can find the answers in our MBT Shoes Frequently Asked Questions section.
Wearing MBT Shoes for the first time? Watch the MBT Shoes Instructional Video
I love MBT's - they are they only walking shoes I have..I even have a goretex pair. I was excited to try these slip ons and ordered my normal size for walking shoes...39 (much larger than my other daily shoes). They were huge, so I returned them for one size smaller...38 -- still too big. Now I'm worried that if I return for a 37, they will end up too small and cut into my foot, so I'm a little unsettled right now.... But that doesn't mean MBT's aren't great because they are!!
In the previous sizing of MBTs, I wore 38.3. Now, depending on the shoe, I could wear 38 or 39. Knowing from other reviews that these run large, I ordered a 38. It was huge, even with an added insert. I returned it and ordered a 37. It was too small. I knew it still wouldn't fit right, even if it stretched, because the arch was in the wrong place. With the snug fit, the canvas also dug into my foot. I'm disappointed that these didn't work out because I like the style.
I have several pairs of MBTs, that's all I wear these days cause of arthritis, and bunions. MBTs really help me to walk, dance and run, with my pain about 85% gone while I have them on! This style would be a perfect everyday style. I ordered a pair one size down from my usual, after reading that they ran large, but they were just too tight. Unfortunately, my usual larger size was sold out, so I had to return them. But, had the right size been available, I know I would have lived in these shoes- easy to put on, solidly made for comfort and safety. So now I am hoping that MBT will make them again, I will definetely buy them and wear them a lot!
LOVED this MBT! it did not run a size larger for my foot (41) fit well except for a little tightness in the toe box. It's canvas so with some wear I'm sure it will stretch out. The flap on the heel box was great support for me but might run a bit high for some folks. Wish they would make another series of this style & add more colors like black & white.
Easy on easy off! Absolutely love my MBTs. Best brand ever made.
Very comfortable, great arch support.

I started my celebrating early by attending the grand re-opening of La Hacienda de San Angel in Epcot last night. You may remember the little outdoor eatery in Mexico in the World Showcase. Well it's no longer little or all outdoors. The expansion includes an indoor restaurant with a beautiful view of the World Showcase Lagoon and a perfect air conditioned spot to view the nightly IllumiNations show. And of course there are margaritas — so that makes it even better.
But that was last night. Here's what you can do to celebrate tonight.
- Music wise it's a good night, with Public Enemy playing Firestone Live in downtown Orlando and O.A.R. over at House of Blues in Downtown Disney.
- Head over to CityArts Factory in downtown Orlando tonight for the Third Thursday Gallery Hop from 6-9 p.m. The hop spotlights galleries and non-traditional art venues, such as restaurants, boutiques, and salons, too.
- I'm not big on the old-school (school not with a k) University Club, but they have a special event tonight I can get behind. "Cocktails For A Cause" happens tonight from 5:30 – 7 p.m. and is open to the public (University Club is normally for members only). The free event will have volunteers from Canine Companions serve as bartenders with all gratuities donated to the charity.

Oprah online did a piece called "Hello, Sexy!"
Well, "Hello back at you!" I thought as I read the article. "You must be reading my blog because I am so about getting the sexy on."
In fact, I think about it only 50,000 times a day. And gosh darn here I go again.
The Oprah series showed some spectacular before and after sexy makeovers. You look at the before shot of one woman who says she "lost her sexy." And, I hate to say it but it's true. She looks like a zombie mom in her before shot, dressed in Adidas sweats (the original ones, from the 70's), and a t-shirt that fits like a muumuu.
Oprah says, "We've done enough shows over the years to know that when a woman shuts down her sensual side, she loses a vital and powerful part of herself." There's no question that this woman has lost more than her sexy – she's lost her self, her identity, her style, her spark plugs, and her smile.
But then, here comes the after shot, preceded, of course, by a creative director, a beauty director, a celebrity stylist, a hairstylist to the stars, a makeup artist, and eyebrow expert.
Suddenly zombie mom looks like she wouldn't be caught dead in anything less than D&G, Jimmy Choo, and at least enough hair product to shellac her three adorable Corgies.
Yes, I'm gearing up for a mini-rant here. Though I love and endlessly adore Oprah, I'm a little riled by this piece.
I know Oprah knows better than to ever mislead by suggesting sexy is just a matter of expensive stuff to buy and apply. She knows it's attitude, too, according to an article that notes, "Sexiness is more about attitude than clothing, so wipe your mind of any age bias and think young."
It's the "think young" that gets me. I'm done with thinking young; I've entered the "think me" phase of my life. And those outrageous makeovers – is that's what's required to look sexy these days?
The makeovers remind me of that scene in the movie Awakenings, the story of a group of patients who contracted sleeping-sickness after World War I. Frozen in a decades-long sleep, they were given up as hopeless until given the drug, L-DOPA, which had an amazing, explosive, "awakening" effect.
But then the drug stopped working and they returned to the deep freeze, hopefully all memory of having just experienced their own death being quickly obliterated.
Which brings me back to the "sexy" makeovers. What are you when the dress and the makeup and yes, even the shoes, come off? Do you want a sexiness that depends on a bunch of external stuff or something deeper and enduring?
You know where I'm going. We're not dolls whose paint needs freshening up after so many decades of being tossed around by life. We're feeling, thinking women who want to press reset and take everything we've experienced and learned about life and renew ourselves at a higher level.
We want to strip down to our essential selves because that's where the true beauty hides – along with the confidence and honesty, the humor and wisdom, and yes, the sexiness that is our very own and has nothing to do with what outfit you're wearing.

On Tuesday October 12th at Nokia Theatre Times Square, Kruder & Dorfmeister will return for their first NYC show in 9 years. The 16 F**king Years Anniversary Session will feature MC Earl Zinger & Ras MC T- Weed with visuals by Fritz Fitzke. More details on the NYC show here. They're also celebrating their record label anniversary with a new compilation, to be released in October 2010:
Sixteen F**king Years Of G-Stone Recordings gathers the complete artist roster of G-Stone and specialists for every kind of beat: turntable masters Urbs and DJ DSL bring hip-hop and comedy to the table while the productions of Peter Kruder, Rodney Hunter and Megablast & Makossa contain every nuance of dance beats from techno and house to cosmic funk, not to mention an impressive mastery of all the dance-floor-exotica from Africa, Brazil and the rest of Latin America.
The G-Stone range is rounded off by Stereotype and d.kay presenting the post drum & bass interfaces of digi-technology, dubstep and cut-up riddims as well as the glitch-wonk-whatever present. Sugar B gets all wacky, Marsmobil sound Air-esk and Richard Dorfmeister & Rupert Huber's Tosca is meditative and experimental all at the same time.

Stamp Out Smoking encourages Arkansas' smokeless tobacco users to participate in the Great American Spit Out Thursday.
The Great American Spit Out is a national day selected to decrease spit tobacco use, increase awareness of the negative health effects of using these products and help smokeless tobacco users quit for at least one day, with the hope that they will quit for good.
"The event is part of a national week long public awareness campaign called 'Through with Chew Week,' which occurs from Feb. 17-23," Wanda Vester, Arkansas County Health Unit Administrator, said.
Vester said smokeless tobacco, which contains nicotine and 28 cancer-causing agents, is a known cause of cancer and increases the risk of developing cancer of the oral cavity.
"Smokeless tobacco is associated with recession of the gums, gum disease and tooth decay," Vester said. "It is strongly associated with leukoplakia, a precancerous lesion of the mouth."
"Arkansas has so many great resources to help tobacco users quit, such as The Great American Spit Out, coupled with the dangerous health effects and growing costs of smokeless tobacco, is one more reason for Arkansans to take advantage of resources like the Arkansas Tobacco Quitline," Juanita Buckmaster, community health nurse specialist for the Arkansas Department of Health, said.
The Arkansas Tobacco Quitline, which can be reached by calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW, provides free motivational counseling with a trained Quit Coach and free nicotine-replacement therapy medication while supplies last.
The Quitline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with services available in English, Spanish and additional languages if needed.
To take steps toward freedom from smokeless tobacco, contact the Arkansas Tobacco Quitline at 1-800-Quit-now or visit www.healthy.arkansas.gov or www.stampoutsmoking.com.

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Perennials
The Facts of Light
by Michael MacCaskey
Light. The word is so common that we often don't think much about what it does. There is the light created by the sun, and the light of spiritual clarity. But how often do we think about how light is the beginning of all life on earth?
Inside each cell in green plants are microscopic worlds called chloroplasts. These trap and convert some of the energy in light, mix it with water and carbon dioxide, and turn it into a simple sugar. It is this sugar that plants use to grow, flower, and set seed. That sugar is also what we and other animals harvest from some plants to power our own activities.
The best light for plant growth is sunlight. But almost since the invention of electric lights, researchers and gardeners have used it to study plants and grow them. Artificial sunlight has the great advantage of being controllable. Whereas some days might be too sunny or cold or windy to provide the right light for delicate seedlings, the intensity and duration of artificial light can be fine-tuned.
For plants, the simplest and easiest artificial light to use is fluorescent light. Short of a greenhouse, a fluorescent light setup is the best way to start seeds or root cuttings indoors. Fluorescent light gardens are similarly ideal for growing and blooming compact plants like African violets, some orchids, and many other kinds of indoor plants. This article is about fluorescent lights, how they work, what the different numbers on their labels mean, and what you need to know to garden successfully with them.
Fluorescent lights
These are the most common and least expensive lights that gardeners can use to grow plants. They are more efficient than common incandescent lights for plant growth, giving more light per watt of electricity with less heat. By virtue of their light quality and cool operating temperature, they are by far the preferred way to establish seedlings.
Fluorescent lights work in two steps. First, electrons stream between electrodes at each end of the tube and produce ultraviolet light, which is in turn absorbed by phosphors coating the tube's inner wall. Those phosphors (substances that emit light when excited by radiation) convert and reradiate the ultraviolet light as visible light. The mix of phosphors determines the color of the light produced.
Fluorescent tubes range in power from 15 to 215 watts, but high wattage tubes are increasingly rare. Most useful for indoor gardeners is the 4-foot-long 40-watt "bipin" tube, with two contact points at each end. In general, the cost of a tube varies according to how common it is. For instance, a 4-foot cool or warm white tube costs as little as $2, while a specialty full-spectrum tube for plants costs about $20.
Tubes' useful lifetimes are surprisingly variable, ranging anywhere from 12,000 hours (about 18 months) to 34,000 hours (almost four years). Usually the least expensive cool white tubes are the shortest-lived. If maximum intensity is critical, replace tubes before they burn out, at about 70 percent of their rated life. At that point, most tubes are producing about 15 percent less light than when new. According to this schedule, you should replace a tube rated at 20,000 hours and used 14 hours a day after 33 months.
The cost of electricity is easy to calculate if you know how much your local utility charges per kilowatt-hour. Four 40-watt tubes operating for 13 hours consume about 2 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

With balanced demand amongst all shops, some shops run out of product before others because of inventory quantities. I see that I can pay to upgrade inventory, but I don't know whether I get more bang for my buck starting with shops that have the largest inventories already, or starting with the smallest, or if there are other factors besides inventory size to consider when upgrading. So which shops does it make best financial sense to upgrade first?
For upgrading, the increase in the default stock (75) is flat across the board.
This means that no matter the size of the store's stock quantities, the 'upgrade' is going to be the same constant amount.
However, if any workers there are working their 'Dream Jobs', the stock increase effectively doubles to 150 for the number of items matching Dream Jobbers.
As far as which stores to upgrade first, that depends on your playing preference. A general order follows:
Last note, don't get too aggressive with your upgrades - unless you're frequently leaving your tower for long periods of time and have stores emptying out a lot, those Tower Bux can be better spent on other things like the Coin Bank and quick restocks/sales/builds.
Every shop upgrades the same way. From the Tiny Tower wiki:
Tip: If you are spending a lot of time on your Tower, checking it often then there is no real need to upgrade (use the Bux for more profitable things as others have said). If you only get to it every so often (say a couple times a day or less), upgrade the floors that have low stock/restocking times.
Because of the infrequency I check my Tower, I like to have the minimum stocking time be 30 minutes so that they stay stocked longer. With those 5 minute stocking times its great if you're checking constantly because you can get more Bux for having a floor fully stocked, but for me I was always running out of stock and therefore earning nothing.
However, my OCD kicked in and I had to have all the floors on the same upgrade "level" so now all of my floors are upgraded. :)
Since I regularly leave the game for several hours at a time, I upgraded all my shops to a 1-hour minimum stock-time. With the tower-bux cheat, I'm planning on getting them all to an 8-hour minimum, allowing the game to earn me money for much longer periods of time when I'm not playing it. Though this will cost me a ton of bux, and take a long time to do, it's still a better long-term investment than simply buying cash with 50 tower bux at a time, especially above 150 floors.

Though his career was relatively brief, Otis Redding was a singer of such commanding stature that to this day he embodies the essence of soul music in its purist form. His name is synonymous with the term soul, music that arose out of the black experience in America through the transmutation of gospel and rhythm & blues into a form of funky, secular testifying up until his death in 1967. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will honor the life and music of Redding, a 1989 Hall of Fame inductee, with an exhibit and film screening. Redding would have been 70 on September 9. That day, the Hall of Fame will unveil a spotlight exhibit with more than 20 artifacts in the Ahmet M. Ertegun Main Exhibit Hall. On Wednesday, September 7, the Museum will screen the film Dreams to Remember: The Legacy of Otis Redding.
In honor of Otis Redding's legacy and to support the Rock Hall's mission, his widow Zelma Redding will donate a portion of her husband's papers to the Rock Hall's new Library and Archives. These will include contracts, correspondence, photographs, receipts and sheet music. The Library and Archives will be the world's preeminent research collection of written and audiovisual materials relating to the history of rock and roll. It will open to the public in early 2012.
In addition, Terry Stewart, president and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, is Co-Chair of Otis Redding's 70th Birthday Celebration Weekend and will be traveling to Macon, Georgia, for the festivities.
Schedule of events in honor of Otis Redding's 70th Birthday at the Rock Hall:
Wednesday, September 7 at 7 p.m. in the Foster Theater:
Screening of Dreams to Remember: The Legacy of Otis Redding. This event is FREE with a reservation. Seating is limited. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call (216) 515-8426 to RSVP.
Dreams to Remember: The Legacy of Otis Redding features 16 complete performances filmed throughout America and Europe showcasing why Otis is considered one of the greatest soul singers of all time. Interspersed between the songs are 40 minutes of interviews filmed exclusively for this DVD with Steve Cropper (Booker T. and the MGs), Jim Stewart (founder of Stax Records), Wayne Jackson (Memphis Horns), and Otis Redding's widow Zelma. The film includes staggering versions of "I Can't Turn You Loose," "Respect," "I've Been Loving You Too Long," "Try a Little Tenderness" (filmed the day before Otis' tragic death) and more, all in re-mastered sound and video. Produced by Reelin' in the Years Productions, this 90-minute film is the first full-length program to commemorate the legacy of Otis Redding and paints a stirring portrait of an artist whose music remains as powerful and influential as it was 40 years ago.
Friday, September 9 beginning at 10 a.m. in the Main Exhibit Hall:
Spotlight exhibit featuring more than 20 artifacts representing Otis Redding's career.
Highlights include:
Stay tuned for artifact and exhibit installation photos coming next week!

We are the Beehive State and it's time to own it! Heck, yeah.
For those of you who still think we got that bug nickname because we've got copious amounts of Apis mellifera buzzin' around, fuggetaboutit.
It's because the powers that be want us Utahns to be as industrious as a hive of bees (and follow the orders that come down from the top, ask no questions and so on and so forth).
The Utah beehive metaphor falls apart, of course, because the boss of the hive, so far, has never been a queen or even a female.
Now go and enjoy the Utah Cultural Celebration Center's exhibit of all things beehive, including beehive-themed art by Utah contemporary artists and bee-related artifacts.
March 7 – April 24, Monday – Thursday, 9 a.m. – 6 p.m., at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center, 1355 W. 3100 South, 801-965-5100, culturalcelebration.org

armani code sport
Eau de Toilette
Sport as a rite of seduction: a vision of Giorgio Armani, translated into a fragrance.
Infinitely masculine, the design of the bottle is an invitation to slip it into a travel bag and carry it everywhere.
Fragrance Notes:
Mint gives its explosive flavour to a surprising and unusual top note. Spearmint, peppermint and wild mint create an unexpected bouquet, its incredible freshness providing a stunning effect.
The heart of the fragrance reveals the seductive power of Code Sport, introduced by citrus fruits. Like a crisp coating of ice, hibernal underlines these contrasts and prolongs the dialogue between icy crispness and sensual breath, giving the fragrance an almost unlimited life.
The woody and distinguished character of vetiver from Haiti is both wet and dry, with fresh and hot nuances. This ambivalence creates a particular sensuality and vibrancy, very attractive on men's skin. Communicating self-confidence and charm, vetiver provides a very intimate comfort. Ginger from Nigeria illuminates the base note and brings a crackling and woody vibrancy.

And no, I didn't do a 'Pie 'n Beer' party (weak) ...when in Rome, or Mecca ...or Happy Valley-do as the natives do.
That's why, you know, if I'm in SF on the third Sunday in May - I run Bay to Breakers; if I'm in Portland the third week of July, I'm at the Oregon Brewfest; if I'm in Nevada on Halloween, I'm dressed up and boozin', philanderin' and gamblin' celebrating Nevada Day (oops, that's pretty much every day in Nevada - but you get the picture.)
Cut to, waking up at 5:30 a.m. Saturday to kick off Pioneer Day at the source (Provo) at the Trapnell Orthodontics Pioneer Day Classic (5k, 10k) which included the following:

Kids. Lots of kids. Bounce house. Giant bounce house:
Incredible 'Pioneer' breakfast of modest (portion) French Toast and honey-butter:

Nope. No parade camping here. But I think Run 13 put on a show in Provo capturing the true Pioneer spirit, and that is: If you run your ass buns off, you get to eat.

Very reasonable price for what you get. I was a little worried the hooks would be too small to hold the towels up ok, but they work great. Very happy with this purchase.

Professor Lauded by Honors Program
SIS Professor Pek Koon Heng recently received the 2012 - 2013 Outstanding Faculty award from the University Honors Program.
Program Director Michael Manson said that Heng was the "obvious choice" for the honor.
"Students frequently discuss how brilliant and engaged her teaching is, and they also praise her work as a mentor in the Honors 101 Program," said Manson. "I have seen firsthand how she raises the rigor of student work and drives students to think critically about what they read and hear."
Heng also serves as the director of American University's ASEAN Studies Center, which focuses on the politics and policy of Southeast Asian states. The center is the first of its kind in the U.S.
"Professor Heng has served as both a teacher in the Honors program and as an Honors 101 faculty mentor, which demonstrates not only her interest in and enthusiasm for teaching, but her dedication to the individual student experience," said Dean James Goldgeier. "I am delighted to see that she has been recognized for her tremendous efforts on behalf of the Honors students."
In the award citation, Manson also credited Heng's connection with the students.
"She has served as a faculty mentor for Honors 101 three times, gaining a reputation for being witty, approachable and caring," he said, adding that students requested her return as a mentor each year.
Heng's influence and enthusiasm extend beyond SIS. From Feb. 23 - March 2, with other faculty and administration from AU, she joined a delegation of ten U.S. universities traveling to Myanmar. This group learned about the current state of higher education in Myanmar, explored potential partnership opportunities and represented U.S. higher education's interest in building connections with the host universities.

No. 4 Cornell Outlasts Princeton in Women's Hockey, 4-1
PRINCETON, NJ (2/9/13) - The No. 4-ranked Cornell women's hockey team proved too much as Princeton fell 4-1 on Saturday, Feb. 9 at Hobey Baker Rink.
The Tigers held their own with the Big Red through the first two periods, but Cornell scored three unanswered in the third.
Cornell took a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal at 9:31 of the first period. Erin Barley-Maloney received a pass from Brianne Jenner in the slot and quickly steered the puck to the right side of netminder Kimberly Newell and into the back of the net.
Newell kept the Tigers alive with 29 saves in the first two periods, as Cornell outshot Princeton 30-13 in the first 40 minutes.
Less than two minutes into the third period the Tigers evened the game with a goal by freshman Cristin Shanahan. Junior Gabie Figueroa skated down the right side and fed Shanahan who was on the doorstep for the goal.
Jessica Campbell tallied the go-ahead goal at 8:34 and Lauriana Rougeau pushed Cornell's lead to 3-1 with a goal off a rebound with 1:41 to play.
Princeton pull Newell for the extra attacker with 45 seconds remaining but the the Big Red gained control of the puck and Jenner sailed the puck into the empty net to seal the win with 29 seconds left on the clock.
Newell finished the game with 42 saves, the fifth time this season she has made 40+ saves. Cornell goalie Lauren Slebodnick stopped 14 shots to lift her team to 20-5 overall and 15-3 in league play.
The Tigers are now 9-14-2 overall and 4-12-2 in the ECAC, sitting in ninth place in the standings. Princeton is just two points out of a playoff position. Princeton will have to pick up points on the road as the finish out the regular season on the road. First up the Tigers face Clarkson and St. Lawrence on Feb. 15 & 16, followed by Brown & Yale on Feb. 22 & 23.

|Vandals Complete Four-Peat
SEATTLE—The University of Idaho women's Cross Country team made history Saturday, becoming the first women's program in Idaho history to win four consecutive conference championships. The Vandals finished with 25 points on the rain drenched Jefferson Park Golf Course.
Idaho's women claimed the top spot just ahead of Seattle U by a 23 point margin. Senior Hannah Kiser won her second-straight Western Athletic Conference title and was voted WAC Cross Country Athlete of the Year of the second year in a row. Idaho's Director of Track and Field/Cross Country Wayne Phipps was named the WAC Women's Coach of the Year for the sixth time. Freshman Nicholas Boersma ran to a first-place finish in the men's race and was named the 2013 WAC Freshman of the Year.
"It was obviously pretty strange weather," Kiser said following the race. "We all came out with a positive attitude. The atmosphere at WAC is just so great. We knew that we had a really strong team so we came in with a lot of confidence and we ran with that confidence."
Kiser paced the race with a time of 17:25.70. She finished 20 seconds ahead of UMKC's Courtney Frerichs, who placed second. Fellow senior Holly Stanton Browning trailed Kiser across the finish with a third-place time of 18:04.70. Halie Raudenbush (18:18.80) and Emily Paradis (18:21.40) crossed the finish fifth and sixth, respectively.
Seattle U placed second in the team standings with 48 points. UMKC trailed in third, scoring 83 points. New Mexico State (105), Utah Valley (115), UTPA (165), Grand Canyon (192), CSU Bakersfield (240) and Chicago State (257) completed the women's standings.
Abby Larson (18:36.70) crossed the windy finish line 10th for the Vandals. Freshman Ally Ginther, just missed out on Freshman of the Year Honors, finishing with a time of 18:44.50. Alex Siemens was the final Idaho Runner to finish with a time of 19:10.30.
"Of course it is exciting for us to win that fourth championship," Phipps said. "When we look back to three years ago when we won our first one, it was a little unexpected at the time. After that we joked around a bit about winning the first one and that we were going to try to win four. After winning the second one it became a bit more of a reality. Those girls have worked so hard the last few years to make this happen."
The men's squad ran its best WAC race since 2007, finishing second with 43 points. Individually Idaho's Boersma became the Vandals' first individual conference champion since Vic Dyrgall won the Pacific Coast Conference title in 1941. Boersma finished the 8K course with a time of 25:60.70 to earn his first top-15 finish of the season. Cody Helbling, whose wife gave birth to the couple's first child on Thursday, finished second with a time of 25:32.30. Helbling was named the Men's Cross Country Athlete of the Year after the race, leading Idaho the entire season. Rounding out the top three was Idaho's Santos Vargas, who edged out Utah Valley's Chris Brower, with a photo-finish time of 35:37.90.
"That was a crazy race," Boersma exclaimed. "This win is for all of us to be honest. It was a great day for us and everyone ran well. To come out with the win was a great way to top it off. "
The newest Vandal father left the course immediately following the awards ceremony to catch a flight at the airport to rejoin his young family.
Idaho scored points from Nathan Stark (15th/26:18.80), Mickey Day (22nd/26:40.30) and Morgan Choate (26th/26:55.90).
"I couldn't be more proud of the guys." Phipps commented. "We did not quite pull off the victory but we were very close. Those guys ran very aggressively and to go 1-2-3 it was quite the accomplishment by those guys."
As is standard in cross country team-scoring the men's race was decide by the 4th, 5th and sixth-place scorers. Utah Valley grouped together in those positions scoring points as they finished 9th, 13th and 14th to finish with 38 points. Idaho followed second with 43. UMKC (80), Seattle U (111), UTPA (117), New Mexico State (138), Grand Canyon (193) and Chicago State (222) closed out the men's standings.
In addition to the individual Athlete of the Year, Freshman of the Year and Coach of the Year awards, Kiser, Helblilng and Boersma were first team All-WAC selections, along with Vargas, Stanton Browning, Raudenbush and Paradis. Larson and Ginther were second team All-WAC picks on the women's side.

Breeding Your Own Squash (page 4 of 6)
by Carol Deppe
How to Hand-Pollinate
Squash and pumpkin plants have separate male and female flowers on the same plant. The female flower buds have a baby squash at the base; the male flower buds don't. The baby squash reflects the shape, and sometimes the color of squash that the plant will produce.
Tape-ready buds have a yellowish color lacking in younger buds and often gape at the tip. Locate buds that are at the right stage, and tape the chosen male and female flower buds shut late in the afternoon or evening before they are due to open for the first time. This is necessary to exclude pollinating insects, which are unlikely to consult you about the kind of pollen you want on each flower. Don't tape the buds any earlier, because they grow quite a bit in that last day, and they would rip open as they grow against the restricting tape.
Plants usually produce several male buds early in the flowering season, before they produce any female buds. Don't get discouraged if you can't tell whether buds are male or female when the plants have just started flowering; there probably aren't any female buds yet. Keep watching.
Next, mark the positions of the taped buds to find them quickly the next morning. I use bamboo stakes with tags of colorful surveyor's tape. (Use different colors of tape to mark male and female buds.)
Hand pollinations are most likely to succeed when they are done on one of the first few female flower buds the plant produces. In addition, fruits often drop off early in development if an earlier fruit is growing on the same vine. So, to maximize the success rate for hand pollinations, do them early in the flowering season. If a fruit has already set on the vine before you hand-pollinate, remove it to eliminate the competition. I usually do at least six hand pollinations (using different plants or combinations of plants) for each variety I want to save seed from.
My success rate with this method is better than 90 percent. Nearly every cross succeeds. My success rate on somewhat later flower buds, and with no removal of competing fruits, is only about 20 percent.
The right time for hand pollination is in the morning, as soon as possible after the male flowers release their pollen (so that it is soft and loose and fluffy, and ready to come off the anthers at the slightest touch, not moist and sticking tightly to the anthers). The exact timing varies with weather conditions, being later if the morning is colder or the plants are wetter. In most areas, 7 to 11AM is the useful period. You can examine untaped flowers to see whether they have released their pollen yet.
When you're ready to pollinate, pick the taped male bud, and carefully tear the petals off, exposing the pollen-bearing anther. Tear off the taped end of the female bud, and daub the pollen onto the stigma, using the stripped male flower as a pollen-transfer stick.
If many bees are active in your squash or pumpkin patch, watch them and work quickly once the buds are exposed. Sometimes, bumblebees will dive into a bud you're holding and rip off all the pollen right before your eyes.
Use all the pollen from one male bud to pollinate just one female flower. (Various books claim that you can use pollen from a male bud to cover two or three female buds, but I've found that this lowers the success rate dramatically.) Finish pollinations by late morning. Later hand pollinations are less likely to succeed. Also, by late morning, the pollen has dropped off the anthers inside the male flower buds and is trapped in and stuck to the base of the petals, where it is much more difficult to recover and work with.

So far, in our Entity Framework 4.0 Article series, we have covered some basics of the what, why and how of Entity Framework 4.0 and also performed some CRUD operations with Entity Framework. We have also seen how to create an independent Entity Data Model and bind the Model to controls like the ASP.NET GridView. In this article, we will see how to log the SQL queries that get generated by Entity Framework. We will also list profiling tools available.
With the Entity Framework, you are architecting, designing and developing at a conceptual level, without worrying too much about the specific details of communicating with the database. Entity Framework uses ADO.NET classes (like the SqlClient) behind the scenes to convert code into SQL queries, with the details abstracted from you.
Although the SQL generated by the System.Data.SqlClient has improved in .NET 4.0., it is always a good idea to do query profiling i.e. watch the queries and commands that get executed on the database and improve your code, if needed. You have a couple of options to watch the queries that get generated via Entity Framework. Some of them are:
- Using ObjectQuery.ToTraceString() method
- Using SQL Profiler
- Using Intellitrace (available in VS 2010 Ultimate)
- EFTracingProvider (on MSDN code gallery)
In this article, we will see how to watch some of the SQL queries generated using the ObjectQuery.ToTraceString() method. We will create a simple logging mechanism that will log the query to a .txt file. You can then send the .txt file to your DBA or check the queries on your own for performance improvements.
Note: The ObjectQuery class implements common functionality for queries against a conceptual model using both LINQ to Entities and ObjectQuery<T>. Read my article Exploring how the Entity Data Model (EDM) Generates Code and Executes Queries – Entity Framework 4.0 to see how ObjectQuery functions.
Lets create our query logging mechanism. Here I am using the same code that I used in one of my previous articles. Assuming you have downloaded the source code of the previous article, open the 'ConsoleAppUsingMyModel' project > right click the project in Solution Explorer > Add > Class. Rename the class to 'QueryHandler.cs' and click on 'Add'. Write the following code in the class
Note: The query handler shown above is a very simple query logging mechanism and can be used by developers on their machines to log queries. In no way, should you use this logging mechanism on your production server. Explore Log4Net for advanced logging scenarios or use the different logging and profiling options listed above.
Now go back to Program.cs and add the following line in the class
As you can see, to retrieve the query generated, we are casting the result of the LINQ to Entities query to an instance of ObjectQuery class and calling the ToTraceString() method on it. We are then passing this string to the QueryHandler.WriteQuery() method to log it. Only one log file gets generated for each day the application is run.
Note: You can see only some queries using the ToTraceString() method. For eg: Queries which make use of Single() or make use of Lazy loading or insert, update, delete are not logged.
That's it. Run the application and open the log file for that day and check the query generated
Although Entity Framework generates the query for you, it's important to be aware of what's happening in your database! In this article, we explored how to log simple queries. For advanced profiling scenarios, feel free to explore the other tools I mentioned at the beginning of this article.

8 Ways for Kids to Stand Out at a Commercial Audition
Lana Veenker, CSA, ICDN, founder and president of Cast Iron Studios, shares these eight tips on how kids can standout at commercial auditions.
8 Ways for Kids to Stand Out at a Commercial Audition
Lana Veenker, CSA, ICDN, founder and president of Cast Iron Studios, shares these eight tips on how kids can standout at commercial auditions.
There Are Reasons Why Available Work Varies Throughout the Year
There are clear and specific reasons why some times of the year are busy, and others are deader than poor Jud in "Oklahoma!"
Can Theater Actors Sell Stuff?
Although there are similarities between theater and commercials, it's more helpful for actors to understand the differences.
CD Erica Palgon Has No Use for Passive Actors in an Audition
"It's not about making a joke or just playing something for a laugh," says film and commercial casting director Erica Palgon. "Don't go broad just for the sake of trying to stand out."
What You Need to Know About Commercial Reels
Commercial reels are most useful for trying to secure a commercial agent. An actor with a reel is much more likely to get a meeting than one without.
Strategies For Starting Off Your Commercial Audition Right
When you slate (speak) your name in auditions today, it's the very first time the director and ad agency get to see you and decide whether they will actually watch the rest of your audition.
When Auditioning With Other Actors, Always Remember to Look Out for Number One
There's a simple formula for working with other actors at an audition, though it may sound harsh: Take care of yourself first.
5 Dos and Don'ts for Remaining Your Agent's Favorite Client
The following dos and don'ts were offered to me anonymously by agents and casting directors who are, frankly, baffled as to why common sense just doesn't prevail with some actors.
To Improvise or not to Improvise
"Although we can't ask anyone to improvise"—because of Screen Actors Guild rules—"people will expect you to be able to," says David Cady.
Eat Real and Small for Commercial Auditions
Eating. We do it every day of our lives, probably several times a day. So it stands to reason that when asked to do this simple act for a commercial audition, it should be as natural as, well, eating.

Aligns Ricoh and IKON Brands in the U.S. as Company Celebrates 50th Year in America
West Caldwell, NJ, April 2, 2012 - WEST CALDWELL, N.J., April 2, 2012 – Ricoh Americas Corporation today announced its launch of a new global brand identity expressed by the tagline "imagine. change." The launch aligns Ricoh Company, Ltd. operations worldwide under a common vision, describing the way Ricoh brings value to its customers' business.The new brand identity also unites Ricoh and IKON Office Solutions under one brand in the U.S. – Ricoh – culminating a careful, steady progression since Ricoh's acquisition of IKON in 2008. The result is a single-minded organization offering the best of two worlds: Ricoh's time-tested technology innovation and IKON's demonstrated commitment to service excellence.The new tagline, "imagine. change.", captures the essence of Ricoh's approach – always moving forward with new ideas for improving its customers' business, and understanding that change is driven by the power of the collective imagination that exists inside an organization."This announcement kicks off a new era of even higher-value service to all of our customers," said Shun Sato, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Ricoh Americas Corporation. "In addition to being a document expert, Ricoh is a full-service provider of business solutions for the evolving needs of our customers.

For the rest of 2012, Ricoh will spotlight its technology breakthroughs from the past half century, wherever in the world they originated, as well as the company's progress on these developments since. The focus will be on helping companies optimize their business processes. Seventy-six years ago Ricoh was established in Japan, and its founder, Kiyoshi Ichimura, envisioned a world where information could be copied precisely and distributed at the touch of a button – a world where critical business knowledge was available anywhere at any time. After establishing a Ricoh subsidiary in the U.S. in 1962, Ricoh spearheaded the era of office automation, giving the world the first high-speed digital facsimile machine for office use. Ricoh also became the first company in the office automation industry to win the coveted Deming Prize for excellence in quality control, introduced the first solar-powered SLR camera, and created Times Square's first solar-powered billboard, among other firsts.Today, Ricoh combines people, processes and technology to help build information infrastructures that are faster, smarter, greener and less expensive than customers imagined. Through cloud computing, remote monitoring and other innovations, the company is also making information more secure, mobile and personal.

Woodland Baby Shower (14 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
The entire baby shower was driven by Marci's desire to have a woodland themed nursery for baby, incorporating a hand painted tree mural with dainty birds, colorful owls and squirrels. The invitation sent to guests was a smaller version of the mural and theme.
To transfer the theme from the baby's room to the shower, Marci & April had to think of ways to create a woodland feel for the guests. They decided to use long rectangle tables so guests would feel as though they were in an intimate space, close to all the details of the shower. Each table utilized real Grapewood branches, a variety of Succulents, Crespedia and Ranunculus in seven different shades of color. Miniature birds were perched inside and atop of the Grapewood branches as if they were nesting in their homes.
The cake was based off a sketch of an owl with a pink bow placed on top of the owl's head. Laurie Hocker, a family friend, took creative freedom to design the confectionery owl, Squirrels, florals and trees which were inspired by the invitations. Chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, topped with Pink buttercream frosting, were also adorned with a pink owl.
Instead of creating a sign-in book the ladies fashioned a sign-in tree where guests chose between an Owl or a Bird and signed in with their name, or word of wisdom for the baby. The adorable handmade sign-in animals were created by the talented April Cenora of Events Inspired by Love. April also created the AMAZING banners that hung above the cake table and the banner that framed the head table. The first banner stating: Sweet Treats and the second banner stating: It's a Girl. The paper goods for each place setting were handmade by April, utilizing the continuing theme of baby birds and owls. The sign-in tree was created using Curly Willow, Yellow Forsythia, Esperanza Roses, Grapewood Branches and Fishhook Succulents.

|Idaho can't find rhythm in loss
PORTLAND – The Idaho men's basketball team was whistled for 28 fouls, including 21 in the second half, and never found its rhythm in a 65-60 loss to Columbia in its final game of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic in Portland on Saturday night.
The Vandals trailed by as many as 14 points in the second half before scurrying to cut the deficit to just three at 63-60 after Sekou Wiggs banked in a 3-pointer with 11 seconds left. But Columbia's Grant Mullins buried a pair of free throws on the other end to make it a 65-60 advantage with seven seconds to play,
"Our guys battled in the second half, we just made too many errors against a team like Columbia who runs the Princeton-style, ball-control offense," Idaho coach Don Verlin said. "We took a couple bad shots, had a couple fouls, made a couple mistakes and them boom, they get a 10-point lead on you and it's a lot bigger than a normal team because they like to milk the clock."
Stephen Madison, Idaho's leading scorer heading into the game, was held scoreless for the first 29 minutes of the game, and fouled out after scoring seven points. Connor Hill led the Vandals with 12 points in the game and Wiggs added 11 – all in the second half – with the help of a 6-for-7 performance from the free-throw line.
"Sekou gives us a lot of energy off the bench, he's our best guy taking it to the basket," Verlin said. "When we weren't shooting very well from the perimeter we needed someone to break down their defense and I thought he gave us a lift a number of times in the second half. I was really happy with the way he played tonight."
The Vandals shot 41 percent (21-of-51) from the field in the game and 33 percent (6-of-18) from long range, while Columbia got to the free throw line 33 times in the game, making 22 of those. Idaho, on the other hand, connected on 86 percent of its free throws, but only got 14 opportunities, going 12-for-14.
"We didn't do a good enough job of playing without fouling," Verlin said. "You've got to work like crazy and now with the new rules, you've got to keep your hands off. We let some of our frustration hurt us."
Joe Kammerer, making his second start in as many days, scored eight points and added four rebounds for Idaho, and Mike Scott added seven points. Wiggs and Bira Seck tied for a team-high five rebounds, but Idaho was out-rebounded 32-26.
Columbia shot 44 percent from the field, hitting 19-of-43 shots, and hit 5-of-13 3-point attempts. Both teams turned the ball over nine times in the game, but Columbia was able to take advantage for a 13-9 edge in points off turnovers.
Idaho will return to action on Nov. 27 when they visit Boise State in Boise's CenturyLink Arena.
"We've got to continue to grind and keep getting better and better. It doesn't get any easier for us," Verlin said.

ZF-5034: Cache adapters should discard unrecognized options silently
Caching strategies often differ between development, testing, and production. However, it's convenient to utilize Zend_Config's inheritance features to define cache configuration. As an example:
cache.backendName = "File"
cache.frontendName = "Core"
cache.frontendOptions.caching = false
cache.frontendOptions.lifetime = 900
cache.frontendOptions.automatic_serialization = true
cache.frontendOptions.automatic_cleaning_factor = 20
cache.backendOptions.cache_dir = APPLICATION_PATH "/../data/cache/files"
cache.backendOptions.read_control = false
cache.backendOptions.file_name_prefix = "cache"
[development : production]
cache.frontendOptions.caching = false
cache.backendName = "Sqlite"
cache.backendOptions.cache_db_complete_path = APPLICATION_PATH "/../data/cache/cache-dev.db"
cache.backendOptions.automatic_vacuum_factor = 20
[testing : production]
cache.frontendOptions.caching = false
cache.backendName = "Sqlite"
cache.backendOptions.cache_db_complete_path = APPLICATION_PATH "/../data/cache/cache-test.db"
cache.backendOptions.automatic_vacuum_factor = 20
For example, in production, I want to use a file based cache strategy, as performance benchmarks have shown it to be faster than Sqlite; in development, I use Sqlite, as performance isn't a concern and I want an easy way to inspect the cache. However, when I call Zend_Cache::factory(), an exception is raised in development -- because the backend adapter does not recognize the "cache_dir" option (inherited from the production settings).
This is poor behavior on the part of Zend_Cache; unrecognized options should simply be ignored.
Fixed in trunk in r12796, and merged to 1.7 release branch with r12797.
hum... maybe a little fast ?
IMHO, this is also a good thing to have a clear error with you make an error with an option name ?
Maybe, a good solution would be to have an option to choose the behaviour ?
No, should not be optional. This change is to make Zend_Cache behave consistently with other ZF components, which all silently ignore unrecognized options.
As noted, this becomes very problematic when using Zend_Config to setup your Zend_Cache objects, as you may have different strategies based on environment. Considering that using Zend_Config with sections and inheritance is promoted as a best practice, Zend_Cache needs to play nice.

ALBANY, Ga. (AP) -- Police in Albany are recommending that city officials more closely review five nightspots before renewing their alcohol licenses.
Albany Police Chief John Proctor says that "violent encounters" on or near the nightspots convinced him and code enforcement officials to recommend a review of the establishments' license applications.
The Albany Herald reports that city commissioners voted this week to hold hearings with representatives of each of the establishments to determine whether alcohol licenses should be denied or suspended.
The police chief said the number of police calls involving the nightspots is a concern, but so is the severity of the crimes. He said has been repeated violence at or near the businesses.

10 places we wish were still around
Published: Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 9:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 9:24 a.m.
1. Jubilee Amusement Park: The Carolina Beach staple was low-budget fun in the sun.
2. Babies Hospital: A landmark in its day, it was refreshing to think that a piece of valuable land could be used for a noble cause.
3. Caffe Phoenix: Some of us didn't love the menu there, but it had a certain celebrity cachet that gave downtown serious style points.
4. Lumina Pavilion: Only the old-timers will remember when the Wrightsville Beach landmark thrived; the rest of us can only imagine.
5. Long Beach Pier: Blame it on the hurricanes or a marriage gone bad. Regardless, the pier was torn down in 2006.
6. Putt-Putt golf: There was something about the frivolity of seeing a gorilla and a pink elephant as you drove down Oleander Drive.
7. Piggly Wiggly: It was always fun to tell your spouse: "I'm headed to the Pig. Need anything?"
8. The Ice House: The former downtown bar had character and architectural significance.
9. Whitey's: Most of us didn't eat there, but we could always point it out to visitors: "That's where Michael Jordan worked!"
10. Skyline and Starway Drive-In theaters: What was shown on the Carolina Beach Road screens was sometimes risque, but nothing says "nostalgia" like a drive-in theater.
We're sure you have some places you wish were still around. Please leave your comments below.

Camps tap into love of learning for students
Published: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 1:42 p.m.
Davidson County Community College wins the award for best name for a summer camp: Big Brain Camp. A total of 32 students participated in the second annual camp, held over two weeks on the college campus. They focused on an educational buzzword, STEM: science, technology, engineering and math. An entire school in Davidson County, the Yadkin Valley Regional Career Academy, uses STEM as its foundation.
The idea of a Big Brain Camp may bring images of a bad science-fiction movie to some, but instructors emphasize fun activities that drive home the concepts the students learn. Andrea Packer, who developed the curriculum, laid out a blueprint for how subjects ideally would be taught: "We tried to wow them and then talk about it."
Some subjects lend themselves more to the wow factor than others. Let's face it, making fractions seem exciting can be a challenge. But scientific experiments that produce bangs, bubbles and changing colors draw the interest of students. And the camps have the advantage of focusing on a certain area for a short period of time with students who want to be there and whose parents have the finances to send them.
Classroom teachers, on the other hand, find restrictions placed on them by state and federal standards that in some cases almost mandate they "teach to the test," so students will pass end-of-grade or end-of-course tests. Not every student wants to be in class. Subject matter stretches out for months rather than being compressed into a week or two. Finally, students take a variety of classes, some of which are required but hold little interest.
So it's no wonder the summer camps tend to draw glowing reviews from those who attend. But exemplary teachers still find ways to bring some of that excitement to their classrooms on a regular basis. Even with the state and federal mandates, they can find ways to spark a love of learning in their students. These are the teachers who are fondly remembered years later.
Education officials at the state and federal level who set policy should attend some of these summer camps. Perhaps seeing students engaged and excited to learn academic concepts would allow them to loosen some of the rules they put into place. Everyone wants students to move from grade to grade showing competency in the key subject areas, but allowing teachers to do what they do best — teach — in creative manners could actually cause test scores to rise and more students to graduate.
In the meantime, students can continue to look forward to the summer camp experiences that immerse them in specific topics for a few glorious days. Their heads may look the same on the outside, but internally their brains really have grown with new knowledge.
