Here is the release Main Events sent out on the Gatti announcement:
CANASTOTA, NY - For a generation of boxing fans, Arturo "Thunder" Gatti was an unforgettable hero of the boxing ring. His many extraordinary battles were some of the most exciting and treasured wars of modern boxing history, and his large and loyal fan base has always maintained that he was one of the sport's most valued performers. Today, the International Boxing Hall of Fame made it official by announcing that Gatti would be enshrined as a member of the IBHOF at their annual ceremony on June 7, 2013 in Canastota, NY.
Gatti, who compiled a 40-9, 31 KOs, record over his 16-year professional career, was elected in his first year of eligibility. Election to the Hall of Fame is the ultimate honor in the world of boxing.
He was a two-time world champion, winning the IBF junior lightweight title in 1995, and the WBC junior welterweight title in 2004. However, Gatti was a fighter who transcended boxing titles, and could pack arenas whether or not the championship was on the line. His string of sold out events at the cavernous Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City set records and earned him the nickname "The Bruce Springsteen of Boxing", for his ability to attract fans and sell tickets.
His career included four bouts selected by The Ring as the "Fight of the Year" (1997, 1998, 2002 & 2003), and several other fights that were in contention through the years. Gatti was a staple on HBO, making his debut on the network with his December 15, 1998 title-winning effort against Tracy Harris Patterson at Madison Square Garden. His long-term contract with HBO ran until the end of his career in 2007.
Gatti's thrilling style and ability to rally when seemingly on the brink of defeat branded him as the "Human Highlight Reel". Of all his memorable performances, it is likely that Gatti is best remembered for his legendary trilogy of bouts with Micky Ward. The rivalry was named the second greatest boxing trilogy in history (behind only Ali-Frazier), and is permanently etched in the memory of everyone who watched these three rousing fights.
He fought his entire career with Main Events as his promoter and Pat Lynch as his manager, a rare exhibit of loyalty in modern day boxing.
"Arturo Gatti will live on in our memories, and the memories of his legion of fans, as a boxing legend," said Kathy Duva, Main Events CEO. "Therefore, it is fitting that the Hall of Fame has chosen to include him among the many legends whose memories are preserved for all time in Canastota. I know that someday being included there meant a great deal to Arturo during his lifetime, as he spoke about it from time to time. His inclusion in the hall is an honor that he richly deserves."
"I was extremely happy when I got the news that Arturo was inducted," said Pat Lynch. "It was such an honor and a privilege to work with him. My only wish is that Arturo could be here to enjoy it."
The International Boxing Hall of Fame induction ceremony is the centerpiece of an all-star weekend in Canastota, NY, where boxing fans and fighters gather every year to honor the very best of the sport.
If Arturo Gatti is a hall of famer then they better put Zab Judah in as well yeah I said it.
Cheat shot, my South Central Los Angeles friend? "City of the angels," my @$$! You must be a fallin' one, because the devil is all up in your @ss'and keyboard-tapping fingers.
What did Gatti ever do to you? And what did Judah ever do for you? Maybe you just have bro-hood, Urbanite syet with Judah.
De mortuis nil aisi bonum! Holla!
@ ali lmao zab judah wtf ... u are insane hahahahahaha what a joke that is
I'm just calling a spade a spade..I love Gatti and I hate that that bitch got away with murdering him but he was not a great fighter.
Kid canvas his accomplishment are similar to what Zab has done. Just because you where an,exciting fighter doesn't mean u deserve to be in the HOF.
You don't have to be a great fighter to be in the HOF FYI, SCLA Ali. Mr. T will be in there before long for his movie role as Clubber Lang. And you know that he had a knockout over Rocky Balboa, before Rocky whup dat arse. Hehehe!
Don't be so serious. The HOF is for certain accomplishments, not greatness in being just a legit fighter. Holla!
radam your 100% right and that's y they need to change the requirements to get in theHOF. Rocky should not be in matter of fact I don'tthink Virgil Hill should be in the HOF either.
You are a hater, SCLA Ali. Virgil Hill was a thrill. He was on his to breaking the "old Mongoose Archie Moore's record for straight defenses without a lot until Tommy Hearns upset Hill. That's right! Hill was the favorite in that fight. The boy could straight up fights back in the day.
Don't judge him by Roy Jones Jr kayoing him with broken-rib shot. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Feb. 12, 2012
BERKELEY, Calif. - Stanford freshmen Ivana Hong and Pauline Hanset earned their first collegiate victories to lead the Cardinal women's gymnastics team past Cal for the 25th consecutive time, with a 196.175-194.725 victory Sunday at Haas Pavilion.
Stanford (5-2) hasn't lost to the Golden Bears (4-3) since 2000 and is 34-1 against them since 1996.
The Cardinal swept every event, with junior Ashley Morgan winning the all-around with a score of 39.175. The Cardinal earned four scores of 9.9 or above, including Nicole Pechanec's meet-high 9.925 to win the uneven bars. Hanset won the floor exercise (9.850), Hong and Shona Morgan tied for first on the balance beam (9.90 each), and Nicole Dayton won the vault (9.875).
Hong, the U.S. elite champion on the vault and beam in 2009 and a former member of the U.S. national team, is rounding into form after being limited by an early-season ankle injury. She also scored a 9.825 on vault to finish second.
A highlight for Stanford was the official collegiate debut of sophomore captain Amanda Spinner, a Danville, Calif., native who competed for the first time in more than two years after undergoing six knee operations. Spinner scored 9.750 on the beam to place sixth.
Cal recorded its highest score in the series in its past 18 tries, since recording a 195.625 at the 2004 Pac-10 Championships in Tucson, Ariz.
Stanford took the lead from the opening routine, when Rebecca Wing led off the first rotation with a 9.825 score on the uneven bars. Stanford would score 49.400 on the event for its highest rotation score of the season, for any event. Stanford extended the lead throughout the meet.
Stanford embarks on the fourth leg of its five-weekend road stretch when it heads to Fort Worth, Texas, for the Metroplex Challenge against Brown and Bridgeport.
Final team scores:
Individual winners and Stanford scores:
Vault: 1, Nicole Dayton (Stanford) 9.875. Stanford: Ivana Hong 9.825, Pauline Hanset 9.775, Ashley Morgan 9.775, Lucy Meyer 9.700, Alex Archer 9.500.

Talk about timeless.
Last night Christina Ricci showed up at the MTV Movie Awards and turned heads to her gorgeous and extraordinary dress.
Christina Ricci rocked a Timex Dress from Christian Siriano that was just sensational and so over-the-top creative!
Christian Siriano's reinvention of the little black dress was inspired by an 1884 oil painting called The Portrait of Madame X. I loved hearing that the dress actually told time because all the watches were working watches.
Christina Ricci just truly rock and rolled this Timex Dress from Christian Siriano last night!
Just STUNNING!

Although we talk a lot about how exercise impacts fat loss, there is a much bigger discussion to be had about exercise and it's total impact of the body. In this post we'll discuss how exercise impacts the brain in a very positive way, which will have a significant influence on memory, thinking sharpness, and…fat loss.
We evolved in an environment characterized by constant threat of physical harm. When we were cave people, we were surrounded by animals that wanted to eat us…
When danger presented itself, we would look to the glycogen stores within our muscles to help us run or fight our way out of danger. So, our body became very good at evaluating how much energy we had stored in the muscles to be used when danger was around.
Our body is an amazing machine, it not only is able to repair itself and reload the lost glycogen, it actually adapts to the environment. So, when we are forced to burn the glycogen within the muscles, the body adapts not just by restoring the glycogen that was lost but also adding a extra in order to account for the increased danger in the environment.
We call this super compensation, meaning the body adds a little bit extra in the reserves to account for any perceived future danger.
During our evolution, exercise didn't exist. We ran and moved only when we had reason to do so. When we exercise intensely for long periods of time and on multiple occasions, the body perceives this as having to run away or fight from multiple environmental dangers. The result is the muscle store significantly more glycogen in order to provide us with more fuel to fight or run away.
The muscles, however, are not the only tissue in the body that uses glycogen. The brain is primarily fueled by glycogen, and unlike the muscles, cannot burn fat for energy.
A recent study suggests that exercise not only depletes glycogen within the muscles but also depletes glycogen within the brain and the result is supercompensation within the brain.
This is an important and amazing finding because it explains why exercise appears to make us smarter and to improve our memories. It's also likely that supercompensation within the brain will result in more energy for the willpower parts of the brain which can ultimately help us to eat better and stick to our exercise regimen.
During this study, researchers placed rats on an exercise program. During exercise, glycogen levels in the brain dropped 50-64%. The amazing thing is 6 hours after the exercise the rats had 29-63% more glycogen stored in the brain than before the exercise! That's supercompensation.
Even after the exercise had stopped, certain areas of the brain continued to have supercompensated levels of glycogen for at least 24 hours.
An area of the brain called the prefrontal cortex is responsible for manufacturing our willpower. This part of the brain is very susceptible to becoming exhausted with all of the decisions and willpower needed in everyday life…
If exercise increases the amount of glycogen available to the brain this will likely increase the amount of willpower that we are capable of within a day. The result is exercise will provide us with more brain energy needed to push away the tasty treats that surround us and get up off the couch and exercise.
The type of exercise is going to be most effective at improving brain glycogen levels is going to be exhaustive interval training and or resistance training.
The standard recommendations of 20 to 30 minutes of moderate activity is unlikely to provide the level of glycogen depletion needed to result in supercompensation. This is one more study that lends support to high intensity interval training and whole body resistance training as a superior Form of exercise for health and fat loss.
One final note…
Exercise has lasting benefits and short term benefits. Based on this evidence, we can't exercise today and expect supercompensation for a month. Nature blesses us with 24 hours of supercharged brain for each intense exercise session that we expose it to. So, exercise often for best effects!

Disease Proof
Weird Science: Fake Sugar, GMO Vegetables
A new study claims artificial sweeteners are linked to weight-gain. Randy Dotinga of HealthDay News reports:
Yeah, sometimes science can be a wee-bit unusual.
Purdue researchers report that saccharin altered the ability of rats to control their appetites. However, the head of an artificial sweetener trade group scoffed at the findings, saying they don't necessarily translate to humans.Not that surprising, Dr. Fuhrman will tell, fake sugars are risky propositions. Take aspartame for example:
"We found that the rats that were getting artificially sweetened yogurt gained more weight and ate more food," said study author Susan Swithers, an associate professor of psychological sciences at the Ingestive Behavior Research Institute at Purdue University. "The take-home message is that consumption of artificially sweetened products may interfere with an automatic process."
That process, she said, involves the body's ability to detect that it will soon be full. "We often will stop eating before we've been able to absorb all of the calories that come from a meal. One of the reasons we might stop eating is that our experience has taught in the past that, 'After I eat this food, I'll feel this full for this long,' " she explained.
It seems to be a subconscious process based on automatic estimations of how much energy certain foods will provide, she said. For example, a sweet taste might be a sign that "calories are coming, and I should prepare my body for the arrival of those calories." However, when the sweetness is not followed by a lot of calories, the body's digestive system gets confused, and the metabolism rate does not gear up as much the next time sweetness is tasted.
My opinion is that the possible dangers of aspartame are still unknown. Utilizing such artificial products is gambling with your health. Aspartame also exposes us to a methyl ester that may have toxic effects. I recommend playing it safe and sticking to natural foods.Now, sticking with the weird science theme, researchers want to genetically amp up the calcium in carrots. From Jeannine Stein of The Los Angeles Times:
"Fruits and vegetables are generally a pretty low source of calcium," says Jay Morris, a researcher at Baylor College of Medicine's Children's Nutrition Research Center in Houston and lead author of a study published online in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "But if we can increase calcium in a wide variety of foods, we can have a modest effect in the amount of calcium available to people in their diets."Well, I guess if the only veggie you're eating is carrots, you'd like if they were more calcium-rich, but as Dr. Fuhrman points out, plants—in general—are packed with calcium:
In the study, 15 men and 15 women ages 21 to 29 ate regular carrots, and carrots that had been genetically modified to allow them to store more calcium. Through urine tests, researchers found that subjects absorbed about 41% more calcium per serving than from the regular carrots.
Yeah, sometimes science can be a wee-bit unusual.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 priced from $579 in Australia, still launching on September 1
A few days ago we let you know that Samsung plans on releasing the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia in the near future, in spite of Apple's attempts to get the tablet banned. Back then, we had a leaked image from an Australian retailer, Myer, which was getting ready to release the Galaxy Tab 10.1 on September 1.
And that's still the case, according to Ausdroid. Myer will have the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in stock on September 1 (so in exactly one week from now). Now we have some detailed pricing information too, whereas previously we knew of only one price: $579. It turns out that that's what the cheapest version of the tablet will cost at Myer.
For that amount of cash you get a 16 GB Wi-Fi only Galaxy Tab. For $729, you'll have the same amount of storage but built-in 3G as well. And, finally, for $949 you'll be able to pick up a 64 GB Wi-Fi+3G variant of Samsung's tablet. Interestingly enough, a 64 GB version doesn't show up on Samsung's website, so that may either be something new, or a typo. If it's the latter, then it's safe to assume that the reality is it's a 32 GB tablet, in which case the premium to pay for more storage is pretty high indeed.
Regardless of which SKU you purchase, Myer will throw in a free tablet sleeve.

National Football Foundation Announcement Read More About Pat Tillman
Snyder, Tillman Head Class of Eight for ASU Sports Hall of Fame/Distinction (8/27/08)
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Former Arizona State University football student-athlete Pat Tillman has been selected to the College Football Hall of Fame as a member of the Hall's Class of 2010, the National Football Foundation (NFF) announced Thursday in New York City. The announcement took place at the NASDAQ Marketsite in the heart of Times Square and was televised live by ESPNEWS and CBS College Sports Network.
Selected from a ballot of 77 All-America players, Tillman now joins former Sun Devil coaches Dan Devine, Frank Kush and John Cooper and student-athletes defensive back Mike Haynes, wide receiver John Jefferson, offensive lineman Randall McDaniel, linebacker Ron Pritchard and quarterback Danny White as representatives of Arizona State University in the College Football Hall of Fame. In all, ASU has nine former football coaches or student-athletes in the College Football Hall of Fame.
In addition to Hall of Fame enshrinement, Tillman will be honored posthumously at an ASU football game this fall.
The College Football Hall of Fame is one of the ways in which the National Football Foundation fulfills its mission of preserving the game of college football. Founded in 1947, the NFF is dedicated to mobilizing the constructive forces of amateur football, at all levels, for the benefit of society as a whole.
The National Football Foundation currently has more than 10,000 members in 119 local chapters nationwide and recognizes the vital role amateur football plays in the development of our nation's youth and in the education process. The NFF seeks to honor those who have excelled both on and off the field and who demonstrate the Foundation's creed of scholarship, citizenship and athletic ability. Last year, the National Football Foundation and its chapters awarded nearly $1,000,000 in scholarships to deserving high school and college scholar-athletes.
The first class of College Football Hall of Fame inductees was selected in 1951. That inaugural class included 54 legends and pioneers of the game like Walter Camp, Jim Thorpe, Red Grange, Amos Alonzo Stagg and Knute Rockne. Today more than 900 legendary players and coaches from NCAA Division I-A, I-AA, II, III and the NAIA are enshrined in the Hall.
Joining Tillman in the Class of 2010 are players Dennis Byrd (North Carolina State, 1964-67), Ronnie Caveness (Central Arkansas, 1962-64), Ray Childress (Texas A&M, 1981-84), Randy Cross (UCLA, 1973-75), Sam Cunningham (USC, 1970-72), Mark Herrmann (Purdue, 1977-80), Clarkston Hines (Duke, 1986-89), Desmond Howard (Michigan, 1989-91), Chet Moeller (Navy, 1973-75), Jerry Stovall (LSU, 1960-62), Alfred Williams (Colorado, 1987-90) and coaches Barry Alvarez (Wisconsin, 1990-2005) and Gene Stallings (Texas A&M, 1965-71 and Alabama, 1990-96).
In 2008, Tillman was elected in Arizona State University's Athletics Hall of Fame. In 2004, Tillman had his uniform number "42" retired by the University and his name added to the façade of the Press Box at Sun Devil Stadium/Frank Kush Field. Tillman's No. 42 was the fifth number retired in Sun Devil history, joining No. 11 Danny White (1971-73), No. 27 Bobby Mulgado (1954-57), No. 33 Wilford White (1947-50) and No. 40 Mike Haynes (1974-75).
Tillman, who lettered between 1994-97, is one of the most famous Sun Devil football players in history. As a junior, Tillman started every game as ASU went unbeaten through the regular season, won the Pacific-10 Conference championship and made its second appearance in the Rose Bowl in 1996. The following year, Tillman was named Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year and was a Second-Team All-American while also receiving numerous academic honors as he helped lead the Sun Devils to a 9-3 season and a Sun Bowl victory over Iowa. He was named Sun Bowl MVP in his senior season and has since been inducted into the Sun Bowl Hall of Fame. Tillman was also named the 1997 Sporting News/Honda Scholar Athlete of the Year.
He went on to play four seasons in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals before joining the U.S. Army Rangers in 2002. He was killed in Afghanistan April 22, 2004, but he continues to be an inspiration to Americans everywhere. Following his death, he was awarded a Purple Heart by the U.S. Army and a Silver Star by the U.S. Military. Tillman was posthumously honored with the NFF's Distinguished American Award in 2006.
In 2004 the Pacific-10 Conference Office announced that the annual Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year Award would be named the Pat Tillman Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year Award in honor of the former Sun Devil.
Also in 2004, The Pat Tillman Scholarship Award was established and is awarded annually to a student in ASU's W.P. Carey School of Business that is studying marketing, the same major Tillman attained his degree in just three and one-half years. In his short time in the classroom, Tillman worked his way to a 3.84 grade-point average and earned numerous academic honors, including GTE District VIII Academic All-America honors in 1996 and 1997 as well as the Sporting News' Honda Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award in 1997.
In 2004 the Tillman family and friends created the Pat Tillman Foundation, established to carry forward Pat's legacy of leadership and civic action by supporting future generations of leaders who embody the American tradition of citizen service. Its signature event, Pat's Run, attracted over 27,000 participants this year.
The Pat Tillman Foundation is a national leader in providing resources and educational support to veterans, active servicemembers and their dependants. The Tillman Military Scholars program aids all veterans and specifically the ever-growing population of veterans and dependents of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts.
In 2005 The Pat Tillman USO Center opened its newest center in Afghanistan in early April, bringing to 123 the number of USO centers worldwide. The National Football League donated $250,000 to the USO for construction of the center, named in honor of Tillman.
He is survived by his wife, Marie.
Founded in 1947 with leadership from General Douglas MacArthur, legendary Army coach Earl "Red" Blaik and immortal journalist Grantland Rice, The National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame, a non-profit educational organization, runs programs designed to use the power of amateur football in developing scholarship, citizenship and athletic achievement in young people.
With 120 chapters and over 12,000 members nationwide, The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame, a not-for-profit educational organization, runs programs designed to use the power of amateur football in developing scholarship, citizenship and athletic achievement in America's young people. NFF programs include the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Ind., Play It Smart, The NFF Center for Youth Development Through Sport at Springfield College (Mass.), and scholarships of nearly $1 million for College and High School Scholar-Athletes.
Statement from Marie Tillman
"On behalf of the entire Tillman Family, we are so excited that Pat is now part of the College Football Hall of Fame. He would have been truly honored to be included alongside these other great players. Thank you to everyone who has sent congratulations and well wishes to our family today."
Statement from the Pat Tillman Foundation
"The Pat Tillman Foundation wishes the Tillman Family and the Arizona State University community our sincerest congratulations on today's news of Pat Tillman's induction into the prestigious National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame. Pat is one of 12 players and two coaches announced today for induction in this year's class.
"The entire Pat Tillman Foundation community of ASU scholars and mentors, Tillman Military Scholars, and supporters offers our thanks to the national Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame for recognizing that Pat exemplified all aspects of the College Hall of Fame through his actions on the field, in the classroom and in the community."

My Hair Is So Soft And Manageable Now!I haven't taken very good care of my hair before I purchased this. My hair is waist length and I hadn't cut it in years so the ends were completely destroyed and I had only been using cheap generic shampoos that I later learned had a lot of bad ingredients. I decided to do about a month of research on ingredients in hair products before shopping for a shampoo and conditioner. The Croc Greenion Hydrate Infusion Moisturizing Shampoo and Croc Greenion Hydrate Infusion Moisturizing Conditioner looked like the best choice for my hair based on the ingredients.
This shampoo is amazing! My hair feels so soft now I can hardly believe it. I love the smell too! I had cut off about six inches of my hair to get rid of the damage, but a lot of my hair was still damaged higher up (I didn't have the heart to cut all of it off) and this shampoo has greatly reduced the appearance of damage (nothing can repair damage because hair is dead) and helped smooth out a lot of the frizz.

All Cultural Studies students are required to participate in at least two Connecting Experiences as part of their BDP work. Take a look at what some Cultural Studies students have done recently for their BDP Connecting Experiences, then read on for additional information and resources.
Past Connecting Experiences
Major: Latin American Studies
Type of Experience: Research, "Repression and Expression in Queer Cuban American Culture"
Mentor: Frank Guridy, History Department
Discuss the process you went through to gain access to different literature.
The Benson Latin American Collection on campus is an amazing resource at the University of Texas, and I spent many hours researching in their stacks. With a plethora of literature to choose from, it was more of a struggle choosing what not to include rather than finding enough literature. In the end, my project focused on the work of Achy Obejas, particularly her novel Memory Mambo, and the short story "We Came All the Way from Cuba So You Could Dress Like This?"
I also did research at Florida International University in Miami, Florida. I attended their annual academic conference on Cuban affairs. Because Miami and South Florida is the home of the largest population of Cuban-Americans in the Unites States, researching in Miami was an obvious choice.
Describe your research project and your interest in the subject area.
My project focused on queer literary production of Cuban-Americans, tying the queer experience of exile from Cuba with the queer lives of LGBTQ Cuban-Americans. As a Latin American Studies student this project interested me on a historical, political and cultural level. Cuba and Cuban exiles have had a very special relationship with the United States and with this project I really got to develop my expertise on Cuban Studies, and especially the history of LGBTQ affairs in Cuba.
How did this experience connect to your BDP?
This experience connected to my Cultural Studies BDP in that I had the opportunity to examine two cultures, the LGBTQ and Cuban-American culture, and their intersections. Through literature, I not only examined this form a cultural expression, but the ways that author represents the societal cultures of queer, exile, of color, and Cuban in her work.
In what ways has this CE shaped your plans for the future?
In the future, I feel more equipped to research and write about a topic at length after this Connecting Experience. I have learned that working on a topic that you are passionate about makes a huge difference on the final quality of your work, but realistic and tangible goals are the key to moving forward with independent research

Teachers at Risk is 6 years old.
Filed Under Blogging in and out of the Classroom, The way I see it | 1 Comment
I've been writing my blog for six years now. It has been a wonderful experience. Thank you for your wonderful support. I've learned so much by sharing what I've learned during my long teaching career. Teaching is a wonderful but challenging career and we need to support one another whenever we can. Writing this blog is a way that I try to support other teachers. I hope I continue to have worthwhile insights and strategies to share this coming year.
I am slowly, very slowing compiling the best of my blog posts into a ebook, but it is summer time and the garden beckons. I'm also completing my MEd this year so that will keep me busy, but since I won't be in the classroom this fall because I've recently retired from classroom teaching, completing my MEd won't be a problem. I'm a practical person and look for practical solutions to classroom challenges in all the theory I have to read during the MEd. I'll be delighted to share with you what I find.
The flipped classroom strategy for academically at-risk students.
Filed Under "At-risk" students, Behaviour Management, Blogging in and out of the Classroom, Computers In The Classroom, Engaging Assignments and Activities for Students, motivating students, positive climate, underachieving students | 1 Comment
I'm always looking for ways to improve my teaching practice to engage my academically at-risk students. In doing research for my recent MEd course, I came across an interesting teaching strategy called the flipped classroom. Now, you may have heard about the flipped classroom but I hadn't, and I'm excited about the possibilities the flipped classroom offers. I don't expect the flipped classroom to be the definitive teaching strategy for academically at-risk students, but it's a strategy worth looking into and trying in small steps. My students love using digital technology in the classroom, and the flipped classroom uses digital technology so that's promising. I like the fact the flipped classroom enables you to differentiate instruction and assessment for your students. More about that later.
As you might know, I'm working toward my MEd. Actually I'm about 3/4 of the way through. It's a lot of work, but I'm enjoying the intellectual stimulation. Right now, I'm just completing research for a paper and am just getting my thoughts together about the flipped classroom and how it could benefit my teaching practice and my academically at-risk students' learning. When I finish my paper, hopefully by the end of next week, I'll share my findings with you then.
I do however want to share the cool infograph about the flipped classroom I found during my research. If you've had experience using the flipped classroom strategy, I'd love to hear you insights.
The Teachers at Risk blog is five years old. Hurray!
Filed Under Blogging in and out of the Classroom, The way I see it, Web 2.0 tools and technologies | 5 Comments
I can't believe I've been writing my blog for five years now. The time has passed so quickly. When I first started to write Teachers at Risk, I didn't really know what to expect or what I was going to say beyond a few posts. I wouldn't have even started blogging if it wasn't for my son and daughter, Chris and Lisa. They encouraged me to start blogging and helped me get started and when I ran into trouble technically, which was quite often in those early days. Lisa was especially patient with me at the beginning. For that matter, she still is. My learning curve was very steep. Thankfully, blogging has become much more user friendly now than when I started.
I guess one of the reasons I started the blog was because I wanted to mentor other teachers. Much to my delight, other teachers started to mentor me by leaving comments sharing their experiences and insights in response to what I'd written. I'm exceedingly grateful for any comments readers take the time to leave even when the comments challenge what I've said. I see myself as a life-long learner and comments of all sorts facilitate that. I'd like to thank all of you who have left a comment on my blog or sent it to me my emailed.
I have to thank Chris for giving me the idea for the name for my blog. I was talking about at-risk students, and all I was trying to do to help them and Chris said something to the effect that I was always talking about students at-risk and what about teachers. They were at risk, too. Who was helping them. That was it. Teachers at Risk became the name for my blog.
I have to admit I wondered how people would find my blog to read it after I clicked on the publish button. Chris told me they would. I just had to be a bit patient. He was right. I can remember being so excited when the first 80 people visited my blog. This past year, over 120 000 people visited my blog. I find that amazing. I mean I write about teaching students who are at-risk academically. It's a very narrow niche and yet…
I also used to worry about making errors in my posts. I used to agonized over punctuation and grammar. Then one day I just decided that I'm human and if I make an error, so be it. That decision was so liberating. I think people can and do see past any errors in punctuation or grammar I might make. I've only had one person comment that I was setting a bad example by making an error. What can I say. I'm not perfect.
I've written here before about all the exciting things that have happened to me since I started writing my blog. I wonder what the future will bring. I can hardly wait. Please feel free to leave a comment. I love the insights people share.
New classroom management issues arise when students who use computers in the classroom try to meet basic emotional needs through inappropriate behaviour.
Filed Under "At-risk" students, Behaviour Management, Blogging in and out of the Classroom, Computers In The Classroom, Dealing With Stress, Engaging Assignments and Activities for Students, motivating students, positive climate, underachieving students, Web 2.0 tools and technologies | 8 Comments
I think I've finally figured out why some of my students in my grade nine learning strategies class continually insist on sneaking to other sites like YouTube when they're supposed to be doing their assignments using sites like Prezi, VoiceThread, Animoto, Voki, Wordle, or Bit Strips. Not only are these students off task when they go to other sites instead of the one they're supposed to be on, they crank up the volume so loud other students hear the sound and crowd around the monitor to see what's so funny and soon no one is on task. I've tried blocking sites to keep students on task, but they just find other sites to go to. It's been driving me crazy. I've been wondering why these students choose to be off task and disrupt the class day after day despite our little talks in the hall. I can't really ban them from computers because I so "cleverly" integrated computers into the course so they need to be online to complete their assignments. I felt really defeated because I want to use computers and online applications in my classroom but using them was causing me such grief. I was beginning to wonder if it was counter productive to have my students use computers and online technology in the classroom. Then suddenly, it dawned on me. Some of my students are behaving the way they are while using computers because they are trying to try to meet their emotional needs in mistaken ways.
Ages ago, I learned about Glasser's Behaviour Choice theory. The idea is that students act certain ways to try to meet certain basic needs. Sometimes these students try to meet their needs by inappropriate behaviour. These needs are are
- Survival- the need for for, shelter, clothing
- Power- the need to feel important
- Love/Belonging- the need to feel accepted and loved by others
- Freedom- the need to choose what we want to do with our lives
- Fun- the need to find enjoyment in life by learning and playing
For example, a child might try to meet his need to feel important by getting undue attention. When my students are off task and go to other sites online and turn up the volume so that everyone crowds around them, they're getting undue attention from other students and from me. They might be thinking they're only important when they keeping me busy and keep getting the attention of other students. That scenario seems to fit a couple of kids in my class.
Students could try to meet their need for power by going off task repeatedly and promising me when I try to redirect them that they will stop going off task and stay focussed but don't, and I have to continually refocus them. They may think that they only belongs if they can be boss and prove I can't make them do anything. I see that explaining some of the behaviour I see in my class.
Some of my students have profound learning disabilities that makes school difficult for them, and they don't do as well as some of the other students. They often feel stupid even though they have average or above intelligence. Since they have difficulty learning or demonstrating their learning, learning isn't much fun and they meet their need for fun by amusing themselves by going to other sites like YouTube which they find entertaining. When I ask my students why they go to other sites, they tell me the other sites are fun. I can see why they think that that because these fun alternative sites don't expect anything from them like the sites I assign that support the curriculum. For at least one student, learning how to take tests or write a strong paragraph can't compete with the fun of listening to various body sounds (farting sounds) on www.soundboard.com. No, I'm not kidding. A student, a grade 9 student, went to that site and played back farting sounds to amuse himself while while other kids worked quietly on task- quietly, that is, until they heard the farting sounds.
Students could meet their need to chose what they want to do with their lives by refusing to do the assignments in class because they don't want to be in a special education class. They want the freedom to choose what to do, and they don't have it. They don't want to be in my class so they choose not to do the work. I've heard students tell their friends my class is another English class even though it isn't. Students will even ask to keep the door shut because they don't want their friends to see them in the learning strategies class because it's a special education class.
When I think about some of the behaviour goíng on in my class ín light of Glasser's theory, the behaviour makes sense to me. I now understand why some of my students act the way they do when they are completing assignments online.
Since I use computers in my class, students are not sitting in the usual classroom configurations of rows or tables. They're sitting at computers facing the outside walls of the classroom. They don't have the opportunity to interact with me or their classmates in the same way as before I had computers in the classroom, so they have to figure out how to meet their emotional needs in the new context of a classroom with computers. Students are trying to meet their needs in this new context in inappropriate ways and this leads to a less than a positive learning environment. The challenge for me is to help students meet their needs in positive ways using appropriate behaviour in this new context. .
Any ideas?

You might assume I don't think about genealogy while on vacation in a country in which I have only friends but no relatives.
If you do - sorry, you're wrong...
Have you ever heard about the "tyskerbarna"? It's the Norwegian term for children whose fathers were stationed as soldiers during the German occupation of Norway during WWII.
The German Wehrmacht occupied Norway in 1940 and stayed until the capitulation in May 1945. It is estimated that during these years about 12,000 children were born to Norwegian mothers and German fathers. About 8,000 of these children were part of the "Lebensborn" program.
As a part of the N*zi racial fanaticism, German soldiers were not discouraged to beget children with Norwegian women because Norwegians were considered to be "pure Aryans".
(It still gives me shivers even to write about ill and horrifying thoughts like this one.)
These children (and also their mothers) were not treated very nicely by the post-war Norwegian authorities. When you were born in one of the "Lebensborn" homes, you could be institutionalized just because it was assumed that if your mother got involved with a German, she must have been mentally ill and you must have inherited her insanity or at least her debility. We're talking about forced adoptions, violence and sexual abuse here.
This happened without regard to the nature of the relations between the Norwegian mothers and German fathers. Some people might have fallen truly in love, other women were probably raped, others might have thought their life would be a little easier if they slept with the enemy. Today we know there is no black or white here - it's just shades of gray...
It took more than 40 years for the state of Norway to apologize to the "tyskerbarna" for the way they had been treated.
When it comes to genealogy, there are uncertaincies on both sides of the Skagerrak.
Even today, Germans might discover that they indeed have a Norwegian half-brother or -sister they hadn't known of.
On the other hand, Norwegians who were born as "tyskerbarna" will find it difficult to trace the German part of their families, especially when they don't have a clue where exactly their father came from. Very close to the end of WWII, many of the files concerning the German military were destroyed during the bombing of Berlin. In addition to that, it is assumed that quite a number of the Norwegian identification papers were tampered with in order to conceal the children's German heritage. So here we have a potential for forensic genealogists and DNA testing.
I'm glad that times have changed. Germans nowadays come to Norway in peace, either to travel and enjoy this really beautiful country or to work in a open-minded society. And a really beautiful country it is!
I really hope to be back next year!

Men's Cross Country Runs With The Country's Best In Wisconsin
Oct. 20, 2013
MADISON, Wis. - On Saturday afternoon the Minutemen ran in Madison, Wis. as they competed in one of the nation's most difficult meets of the season. The Wisconsin adidas Invitational included 16 nationally ranked teams and many teams on the cusp of breaking into the top 30 ranked teams in the country. UMass finished 35th overall and ran well together in their final meet prior to the Atlantic 10 Championship. Coach O'Brien's Minutemen found themselves in a course filled with 287 total competitors.
Once again it was Antony Taylor who led the way for the Minutemen. Taylor completed the race in 25-minutes, 15-seconds, a time good enough for 210th overall. He was then followed by a pair of sophomores finishing neck-a-neck at 226th place and 227th. Ben Groleau and Benjamin Thomas placed second and third respectfully for the Minutemen. Groleau was just a second ahead of Thomas at 25-minutes, 36-seconds with Thomas finishing at 25-minutes, 37-seconds.
Placing fourth and fifth for the Minutemen and also coming in side-by-side was Daniel Sheldon and Blake Croteau. Croteau trailed Sheldon as the sophomore placed 234th overall while Croteau placed 235th. Sheldon crossed the finish line in 25-minutes, 47-seconds with Croteau completing the task in 25-minutes, 55-seconds.
Completing the top seven was Quentin Stipp and Richard Racz who also finished the course together. Stipp recorded a time of 26-minutes, 3-seconds for a 238th place finish. In 239th place it was Racz completing the course in 26-minutes, 13-seconds.
The Minutemen will have a week of practice and rest before they head to Richmond, Va. for the 2013 Atlantic 10 Conference Championship on November 2.

What do Big Ben and War Bonnet have in common? Both are wild stallions removed from public lands as excess horses and sold at auction yesterday at the annual Western States Wild Horse and Burro Expo in Reno, Nevada. Now geldings, these previously wild mustangs, named by prison inmates at the nearby Carson City Correctional Facility, have been transformed from wild to mild in just 120 days.
When mustangs are rounded up and removed from the range, Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management choses a select few to be trained by honor inmates at various prison facilities throughout the U.S. . The well accepted "gentling program" works it magic on man and beast alike.
These wild stallions had never felt the human hand before roundup day. It's possible that some have never even seen a human . Their fight or flight instinct automatically engages when us two- legged critters force them into confinement. With no room for flight, fight is the choice that remains.
Most of us wouldn't be particularly excited about facing a 1,000 pounds of angry muscle, but those who can make that primeval connection between man and horse, a connection built on trust, produce astounding results. War Bonnet, a striking brown and white paint, bowed to the audience after a winning bid of $2,300 determined his new adoptive home.
An inmate stood casually on the sidelines, staring off into the distance with his hands in his pockets. What's so unique about that? He was standing on the back of a wild stallion now turned trusty steed.
Make no mistake, these horses are still considered "green broke". We're talking magic here not miracle. The new owners will need to build their own trusting relationship and continue working with their horse, but much of the needed groundwork has already been laid.
All but one of the horses offered at yesterdays auction sold for over $1,000, three of them toppled the two thousand mark. These are bargain prices for a piece of the American West known for their strength, endurance, and intelligence, particularly considering the cost of such intensive training.
The Bureau of Land Management maintains several adoption outlets across the nation. An untrained horse or burro can be adopted for as little as $125.00. For more information on the adoption process and adoption locations, visit BLM's " How to adopt a Wild Horse or Burro" page.

Croquet Playing Seniors Take Over Green
Source: Tyler Finn
November 26, 2012
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The mallets were out and all bets were off as a dozen or so seniors played croquet on the Green during lunch on Tuesday.
Senior George Baier came up with the idea to play croquet during lunch when he saw people playing during a passing period, "while going from Physics to the bathroom across the Green because the D-wing bathrooms were locked."
He was pleased with the game and said "it was great, we had two games going and everyone dressed nicely" for the occasion. The purpose of the game was, "just to have fun."
Fellow croquet player and senior Connor Mesec said future sessions might include a George Foreman Grill and "cooking up some bacon, some paninis."
If nothing else, Mesec says, "Maybe we'll bring three sets next time."

We decided on Lane's donut shop with a vintage flair. As guests arrived Saturday morning, everyone received their own apron and personalized donut hat. Lane served up lots of donuts to his birthday guests... glazed, chocolate sprinkles, cinnamon twists, apple fritters and more. We had plenty of donut activities for all the little guests... donut toss with hand-made felt donuts, eat a donut on a string, personalized coloring sheets with donut crayons made by Whats Your Crayon and a donut cookie decorating station.

Texas Tech players
Nov. 30, 2010
Recap | Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
Texas Tech players
On the strong start by Tech
We just knew they were a good team and we couldn't start out slow because the last time against St. Mary's we were down by 20 at half. We knew that we needed to pick up on defense, get in the passing lanes and work our offense for baskets.
On the learning experience of playing Oral Roberts
It was a great learning experience because we learned you can't always come out and play just the second half you have to put two halves together.
On his performance vs. Oral Roberts
I was just playing my role and trying to do the little things to make this team as successful as it can be, and tonight it just happened that I had a big time game.
On getting offensive rebounds
That is something I haven't been doing much of the last couple of games and I needed to get back to it.
On getting 29 points I just felt like myself in general and was taking what came to me.
On playing Washington They are a well-coached team and they are going to be ready to play. We know they have great players and they are going to be tough to handle.
On D'walyn Roberts' and Paul Cooper's play vs. Oral Roberts
It's real nice. It's been a long time coming for them. They've put in the work to come back from their injuries. They put in some solid minutes and the biggest thing Coop did was just be himself. He's going to be a great asset to our team. D'walyn came out and played well. He got some boards. I don't think anyone expected them to be right on track because they haven't really played the last couple of weeks.
On how Tech played vs. Oral Roberts
They (ORU) shot a better percentage than we did, and the two things that have been killing us all year, free throws and rebounds actually won this game for us. That's a testament to how hard we've worked because those are just hustle things.
Texas Tech Head Coach Pat Knight
On Tech's win vs. Oral Roberts
We are happy with a win. I know it wasn't pretty. But, sometimes you have to hug ugly. Everyone wants to hug pretty, but I'll hug ugly anytime it gets us a win. After losing two in a row, coming back, and fighting the way we did and not quitting was good for our players.
On Tech's overall performance vs. Oral Roberts
It was another one with a bunch of spurts. The whole game was up and down. We relaxed too much. We played great defense great for five minutes then we committed fouls and put ORU on the free throw line. I still didn't like some of our defensive play, but there were still some good moments where we played well defensively.
On Roberson hitting free throws
Those were huge. Free throws have been a problem for us, but it's been good the last couple of games because we've finally been making those shots. However, we still need to improve our free throw shooting as a team.

Yamaha are a bunch of wankers. I have a S70xs and the grands are horrid.... then they have the nerve to make this NEW AMAZING CP1 ..... with amazing piano's..... while we got ripped off on this crappy E6........ go to sninety.com and see how unhappy people are. They could have put that technology EASILY in the S series. Spoon feeding wankers !!!! ohhhhhhhh sure.... buy both..... carry around another huge keyboard to get the sound you REALLY want. Unbelievable

I LOVE the CP70/80 sound, and I was appalled when the CP33 and CP300 were released with no real CP sounds in them. I since bought a Kurzweil PC3x--in addition to beautiful CP and acoustic piano sounds, it's great in just about every other way.

Sounds like Yamaha's response to last year's super-piano from Roland.
For 4500UKP I doubt they could have put that piano into the S-series...unless they charged 6000UKP!!!!

Asbestos Information
Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) is known to be present and/or was formerly present in many of UAA buildings built prior to 1979. While friable (uncontained with the potential to become airborne) ACM was removed from buildings immediately, non-friable (contained with low potential to become airborne unless disturbed) ACM remains in place until construction, remodel, or demolition projects necessitate its removal. Removal of ACM is accomplished by AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act) trained contractors. At this time, no UAA employees are authorized to work with ACM within the course and scope of their employment. The following links provide information for all UAA employees that may need to work in close proximity to ACM.

Since our Nashville area weather is nearly perfect, we've decided to go a different direction today.
Yet another rockslide has closed Highway 441 between Newfound Gap and Cherokee, NC approximately six miles north of the North Carolina town. The slide occurred on Sunday night and crews were onsite early this morning to begin the cleanup.
According to Great Smoky Mountain National Park managers, the slide appears to be around 20 truckloads in size.
Park spokesman Bob Miller says there were no injuries or property damage.
The Knoxville News-Sentinel is reporting the slide has been cleared and the road has reopened.

This lake lies to the east of Lake Law . In general the water levels for this lake are more stable than Lake Law and it rarely produces much in the way of shorebird habitat. It is, however, good for gulls and waterfowl, though in general it is less productive than its western neighbor. Some of the more notable species seen on this lake are Neotropic Cormorant (1989), Common Loon, Franklin's Gull (1996), Thayer's Gull (2005), Lesser Black-backed Gull (2001, 2005), Glaucous Gull, and Common Tern (2000). It is also one of the better locations for finding Ospreys. A drought in 2005 caused this lake to all but dry out, producing excellent shorebird habitat just in time for the fall migration. Consequently, an impressive list of rarities was recorded there through the season. Some the highlights were: Little Blue Heron, Peregrine Falcon, Black-bellied Plover, American Golden-Plover, Willet, Western Sandpiper, White-rumped Sandpiper, Sanderling, Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Red-necked Phalarope, and American Avocet.

Ever since junior high Sarah Jenkins has had a fascination with the Saint Joan of Arc. Extolling the virtues of "the virgin maid" she began to be ridiculed by her peers.

Five years later Sarah still waits. The Voices have grown stronger. Her now frequent visions have become more intense. To others, Sarah is regarded as darkly mysterious. Some fear her. Some, like Alec, desire her, while Dave is determined to find out the truth. Sarah now finds herself caught between the memory of her first love and the forces that seek to challenge her vowÂ…and take it by force.
