For years now, the defenders of a failed status quo have crowed that education reform – particularly the school improvement efforts passed this year by the Connecticut General Assembly – was bad for teachers.
For months, we watched as folks yelled and screamed and swore at Governor Dannel P. Malloy, opposing needed changes around issues such as teacher quality and school turnaround. The vitriol during the spring in opposition to reform, in the name of teachers, was stunningly large.
So it was surprising, and heartwarming, to see the headlines recently from the Connecticut Education Association trumpeting that teacher morale was "through the roof" in Bridgeport.
Why? In many ways, Bridgeport is ground zero for education reform in Connecticut. Just look at the facts.
- Bridgeport's mayor, Bill Finch, is one of the hardest-working elected officials in the state looking to bring change and improvement to his public schools
- Bridgeport's superintendent, Paul Vallas, is one of the nation's leading school reformers and, in less than a year, has enacted one of the most aggressive reform packages the state has ever seen
- Bridgeport is piloting Connecticut's new educator evaluation system, where teachers and principals will be evaluated under a model that makes student learning the top priority
- Bridgeport is now part of the Commissioner's Network, with the Curiale School being part of a major effort by the state to turn around our lowest-performing schools
- Bridgeport is also part of the Alliance District, where it will receive millions from the state to enact real, meaningful education reforms focused on improving student performance
Despite all of this reform, despite all of this change, despite all of this focus on student performance and achievement, teacher morale is strong. And at the Bridgeport school that is experiencing the most change and is impacted the most by this year's reform bill – Curiale – morale is up, as is student attendance (at least according to the CEA).
We all know that we can't fix our schools without the full support of our teachers. They are the ones on the front lines, the ones responsible for enacting change and ensuring all kids – regardless of race, family income, or zip code – are learning. They need to be partners in the process. And early reports from Bridgeport indicate we are seeing that partnership.
But this also demonstrates that one can be both pro-reform and pro-teacher. Bridgeport is experiencing more education reform and is feeling the impact of the state's education reform efforts more than any other community in the state. With leaders pushing for reform, with a new teacher evaluation system, and with intense efforts to turn around the city's lowest-performing schools, Bridgeport teachers are responding positively.
Now we must look at how to continue this road to reform, so that other educators across the state can also feel a boost in their morale as the improve outcomes for all of our students.

Welcome to Northern Lights Film Festival 2006!
Four years of fantastic films and events from Northern Europe
Northern Lights brings you fantastic cinematic stories from Northern Europe, the UK and the Baltic States, and in this 4th year of the festival we have a vast array of UK premieres, feature films, shorts and documentaries rubbing shoulders with animation, artist films, live music and film events with special guests.
It's 30 years since Punk rocked the world. This anniversary has inspired us to revisit punk's impact on screen and also to take a particular look at work and individuals who have stood out against the conventional or rejected the establishment way of doing things - from rebellious Scottish animator and artist filmmaker Norman McLaren to Paul Andrew Williams, who has just made one of 2006s most exciting feature films for just £80,000. Punk has also inspired us to introduce more live events into this year's festival and we are thrilled to be able to present legends like Don Letts and Attila the Stockbroker as well as a live tribute to that essential 'Geordie outsider' Jack Carter.
Unlike conventional film festivals Northern Lights is also about getting new films made. In 2006 we launch the UK's biggest short film prize. The Orange North Star Short Film Award is worth £40,000 to the winning filmmaker and its presence in our region is yet another indication of the growing national and international significance of North East filmmakers.
On top of all this, the Northern Lights Film Industry Summit brings many of the most influential movers and shakers in the European film industry to NewcastleGateshead for two days to enable the cream of local film talent to pitch their ideas to the people that really count.
There are more films than ever before in the 2006 Northern Lights and more venues being used to show them to you. This year you can catch the programme at Tyneside Cinema, Side Cinema, Morden Tower and World Headquarters in Newcastle, and we are delighted and honoured to be opening the beautiful Old Town Hall, Gateshead as a brand new venue for cinematic thrills.
Enjoy the show!

Daily inspiration and Birth Verse for November 19:
Monday, November 19, 2012
Daily inspiration: Keep your eyes on heaven and you will remain joyful even in your darkest hour. Lord, with You I can defeat the tempest.
Daily Scripture & Reflection: Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3
A Time to Think: Sometimes the Lord rides out the storm with us and other times He calms the restless sea around us. Most of all, He calms the storm inside us in our deepest inner soul. Lloyd John Ogilvie
A Time to Act: Learn to think calmly and confidently, no matter what comes your way.
A Time to Pray: Lord, thank You for renewing me and giving me a life that has purpose and meaning.
Birth Verse for November 19: Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up Deuteronomy 11:19
PrayFit Devotional: Total Loss: Nov 18, 2012; Read: Psalm 139
�For you formed my inward parts. My frame was not hidden from you.� �Psalm 139:13, 15
As a little boy, I spent many a summer day sweeping floors and washing cars at my dad�s body shop. I felt right at home amidst the bondo dust and paint fumes � even though I could often be found asleep in dad�s office. But while I didn�t pursue the family business, little did I know that the body shop was a great place to learn about grace.
Each day, customers would come in to either pick up their cars or schedule a drop off, but then there were those who came in just for an estimate. They�d wrecked their car or truck, and all they wanted to know was what it would it take to make it good as new. And whether the damage was their own fault or caused by someone else, sometimes dad would have to tell them it was totaled; their car wasn�t worth anything. A total loss meant the insurance company wouldn�t touch it, and they�d have to pay for it all by themselves.
We�ve all wrecked our lives in one way or another, be it with work, a relationship or our health. Thankfully, a total loss is no match for the cross. What the world gives no value, He gives grace. �Jimmy Pe�a

MOUNDSVILLE - Marshall County commissioners Don Mason and Brian Schambach said they need more information from Moundsville Power before they can support a Payment In Lieu of Tax agreement for the $615 million plant.
During a special meeting Monday, commissioners listened as representatives of Moundsville Power, insurance companies and others spoke. Mason said commissioners need to have "all t's crossed and i's dotted" before proceeding to a vote on the 549-megawatt plant.
"If they decide they want to expand the project, we want to make sure they have to come back to us," Schambach said. "Also, there was not clarity on the specific amount of insurance that would be provided."
Moundsville Power Managing Partner Andrew Dorn said the company plans to burn about 100 million cubic feet of natural gas per day to generate electricity. He said the project would likely create 400 temporary construction jobs during the building phase and another 30 full-time jobs once it is operational.
As it stands, the PILOT calls for the county to take official ownership of the natural gas power plant upon its completion for the sum of $1, while the company would pay the county about $31 million over 30 years.
"This is a loss of tax dollars," Commissioner Bob Miller, who opposed the plan, said. "Government should not own businesses, anyway."
Craig Griffith, an attorney representing the county commission in its ongoing negotiations with Moundsville Power, assured commissioners that a shutdown of the plant would void the PILOT, which would then require the owners to pay regular property taxes on the land.
"The lenders obviously have a vested interest in seeing the plant run because that is how they will get paid," Griffith said.
Lee Reynolds, global practice director for power and utilities for Oklahoma City-based Gallagher Energy, said his firm serves as the insurance broker for the Moundsville Power project.
"We will cover the risks and exposures of Marshall County," he said. "We know this policy works and know it works well."
Reynolds said the insurance policy would protect county taxpayers from any liability in the event of an environmental spill or blast, even if it is an act of "terrorism."
Although much of the development area along the Ohio River is classified as a Superfund site by the EPA - which identifies mercury and chloromethane as some contaminants that have been found in the soil over the years Reynolds said the portion of land that will house the new plant has very little pollution.
"It is a very clean site. We have gone onto some sites that are just awful," he said of the plant construction zone.
Reynolds also complemented the General Electric technology the plant would employ. Planners have said the facility would be a combined-cycle plant that will use natural gas to run one of its turbines, while using the exhaust heat from this process to drive an additional steam turbine.
"I think we are continually being educated by the experts," Schambach said after the meeting. "We still have some details to work through."
>Commissioners will meet at 9:30 a.m. today, at which time more information from Moundsville Power could be presented.

Did you remember that Father's Day is this Sunday? If so, and you've already gotten his present — well good for you! If, on the other hand, you forgot that June 17 is that special day to celebrate dad, then check out some of these gift ideas, which are all available at the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission's online N.C. Wild Store.
No matter if your dad hunts, fishes or just enjoys the outdoors, the Wild Store has a product we're sure he will like.
A perfect gift for nearly every dad (or for yourself for that matter), is a subscription to Wildlife in North Carolina, the agency's award-winning publication, which features stunning photographs and well-written articles on Tarheel wildlife, their habitats, wildlife research, and other interrelated natural resource topics. A one-year subscription is just $12, while a three-year subscription is $30. Both subscription options include two special edition guides — one in the spring on fishing and the other in the fall on hunting.
Trout anglers will appreciate the North Carolina Trout Fishing Maps book, which contains maps of trout waters that are open to public fishing. The maps are color-coded according to the trout signs posted on the streams and detail the trout regulations in effect. The book is $12 and shipping is free!
Does your dad like to bear hunt? If so, he may be interested in the DVD "The Bear Facts – the Story of a North Carolina Treasure," a documentary that covers black bear history and biology, research and monitoring, coexisting with bears, hunting traditions and the future of the black bear in North Carolina.
If your dad's a backyard birder, get him out of the yard and on the road with a Commission birding trail guide by his side. We have three editions — one for the Piedmont, Coast and Mountain. Each guide is on sale for only $12 and highlights the more than 470 birding sites along the North Carolina Birding Trail, which is a driving trail that links great birding sites across the state. Lots of beautiful pictures are complemented by maps, detailed descriptions of each site, access information and onsite visitor amenities.
"A Guide to the Snakes of North Carolina" is a perfect choice for dads who love snakes — and even those who don't but want to be able to identify the venomous ones from the non-venomous ones. The 42-page book, which costs $8.95, features more than 150 color photographs and descriptions of the 37 snake species found in North Carolina. If your dad has ever uttered the words, "Is that a copperhead or a corn snake?" you owe it to him — and to the snakes of North Carolina — to get him this book today.
For the dad who is more interested in wildlife critters that hop as oppose to those that slither, the "Frogs and Toads of North Carolina" field identification guide with a CD features descriptions of calls of North Carolina's 30 frog and toad species. The 88-page book with the CD costs $15 and is packed with more than 120 full-color photographs and lots of information on habitats, habits and identification techniques.
And finally, if you're still clueless about what to get dear old dad, don't forget about our lifetime licenses, which are available with a variety of options — from just lifetime fishing privileges to lifetime hunting and fishing privileges. Lifetime licenses are truly the "gift that keeps on giving." Find out more about the different kinds of lifetime licenses available here.
And for all of you fathers out there, have a wonderful Father's Day. And don't forget, take your kids hunting or fishing the next time you go. They'll love you even more. We promise.

Great idea these days with the new hi-tech equipment. Much easier and just as clear as scanning! Good job Joyce; and, Barbara, maybe using this ipod-iphone technique will result in more of the nostalgic photos sent your way.

Joyce has some great picture of our class, but we could not get them scanned clear, but Joyce came up with great idea of taking a picture with her I pod and it. I worked!!!

My IP Address has come up with a tool that lets you Ping IP or a domain name absolutely free of cost and from anywhere. The ping command is normally used by computer users or system administrators to determine if the network they are connected to is alive or functioning. It is a system through which a message (data packet) is sent from the user computer to the main server, website host, email server, internet service provider or another computer on the same network and the message or data is returned back from the host to the user computer. This time is measured in milliseconds and it includes the time that the messages take to reach the host server and return to the data packet sender (source computer).
Normally on a computer that is connected to a network or a host server, we run the 'cmd' command, type 'ping' and then enter the IP of the host server or the system we want to test. The data packets are sent and returned and the time taken is displayed. Generally this process gives us the record of four data packets' round trip from the user computer to the host and back. 'A ping' command associated with a '-t' allows a user or a system administrator to continually send data packets and see the responses. This is run by professionals who need to ensure that there is no loss of data packets and that the connection is instantaneously active, that is, active at any given instant. Host servers can stay dormant at times and the continuous ping or the loop command helps one to determine if the host server is responding at all times.
To ping IP or a domain of a website at My IP Address, you can just enter the domain name or the IP address at the search bar and you would get instant results. It would normally display records for 10 data packets and the time taken by the data packets to reach the host and return to the source computer.
In a normal computer while running the ping command you still need to enter commands and read through the results. At My IP Address you can simply type the IP address or the domain name and My IP Address would display a graph with 10 records at one glance. It is not only one of a kind service at My UP Address that is user friendly and hassle free but it also helps to save you time. Try to ping an IP through the conventional mode from the 'Start' button and then try to ping an IP or domain through the 'search' bar on My IP Address and you can see for yourself how easier and time saving the latter can be.
On many occasions we are absolutely clueless if a specific website is not functioning or if our internet connection is at fault. At times we really need to find out if a host server is functioning properly and also if the speed at which the data packets are getting responded is normal or below par. To know this information, the only way is to ping IP.
The results you get when you ping IP on My IP Address can help you to see technical details and maintain records should you be trying to evaluate the service of a website or check your internet service provider's commitments. There are numerous usages of ping IP for system administrators and normal users as well and it cannot get better if you can ping any website domain or IP on My IP Address irrespective of the network or internet connection you are on.

Front Staff Performance Makes a Difference
June 13, 2016
Front staff was very proactive and responsive to my needs.
Frequent Traveler
ByWeary Day Sleeper
June 07, 2016
The staff are pleasant, professional and friendly. The room was well appointed, the air conditioner/heating is on a motion sensor thermostat which is a real pain, the kitchen appliances, dishes and cookware were clean and reasonable quality for hotel use. The rooms are kind of small, but comfortable, there is not an oven so only stove top items can routinely be cooked, unless you chose to microwave. The bed, linens and pillows are of good quality and very comfortable.
Business trip

Found hotel comfortable with a efficient and friendly staff. Close to where we were working.
Exceptional Customer Care
May 19, 2016
Front desk staff exceptional, especially Ms. Jackie. Very polite and gracious. Our first time to the area. They were always checking to see if we needed anything. Hotel very clean. I made our reservation directly with the hotel. Since we were staying 1 week, they suggested the 2 bed suite for more room. The room was big but it only had 1 recliner and a desk chair. There were 2 of us so I had to use the desk chair all week. The room had plenty of space for a small sofa or 2nd recliner. Bathroom could use an update but clean and great thick towels. Free coffee/tea in lobby but no breakfast. Wish they offered a little something with free coffee. Cracker Barrel next to hotel. Hotel just off exit to major highway. Hotel very sound proof. Just down the road- stores, gas stations, restaurants, etc. We were here to attend the Montgomery Biscuits games all week. Location of hotel very convenient to downtown and area attractions.

I'm making a newsstand app, I have many download assets per issue to download. "issues" is a NSArray* requested from the server. I start downloading with iterating through all the assets like this in MyDownloader class:
for (int i=0; i< issues.count; i++)
MyIssue *currentIssue = [issues objectAtIndex:i];
NSString *filename = [currentIssue.remotePath lastPathComponent];
NSString *localFilepath = [cache.cachePath stringByAppendingString:filename];
//skip downloaded file
if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:localFilepath]) {
NSURL *downloadURL = [NSURL URLWithString:currentIssue.remotePath];
// let's create a request and the NKAssetDownload object
NSMutableURLRequest *req = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:downloadURL];
NKAssetDownload *assetDownload = [nkIssue addAssetWithRequest:req];
[assetDownload setUserInfo:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
localFilepath, @"Filepath",
// let's start download
[assetDownload downloadWithDelegate:self];
I'm storing localFilepath for later use in connection:didFinishDownloading:destinationURL method.
Everything is working fine, except one thing. Here's the code I put in application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method
NKLibrary *nkLib = [NKLibrary sharedLibrary];
for(NKAssetDownload *asset in [nkLib downloadingAssets]) {
NSLog(@"Asset to download: %@",asset);
MyDownloader *downloader = [MyDownloader sharedDownloader];
[asset downloadWithDelegate:downloader];
This also works fine. But when I need to cancel all queued downloads, I comment out the previous code from application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:, I get log messages like this:
NewsstandKit: cleaning up abandoned asset downloads: (
"<NKAssetDownload: 0xa17ffe0> -> {identifier: '98E98868-0DD2-45FF-90B8-7CF80E02A952/B11F6C43-86CC-4434-ABC1-F4450FF163CF' request: <NSMutableURLRequest http://servername/serverpath/file.zip> downloading: NO}"
And I expect that all the downloads are cancelled. But when I look in the Library/Cache directory of an application, I see lots of files downloading with filenames starting with "bgdl-2896-" and so on. So they are not get cancelled, they are downloaded by the NewsstandKit. connection:didFinishDownloading:destinationURL method is also not called. That's the trouble - assets consumes internet traffic and storage on the device.
How can I force to cancel asset downloads I don't need any more?

DTV Safety Ambassador to be Presented Award for Lifesaving Actions
Posted on 03/04/2014 4:14 pm
- 217 North Market Street, Downtown Safety Office, Wilmington, Delaware
Date of Occurrence:
- Wednesday, March 5, 2014, at 3:00 p.m.
At training conducted jointly by the Wilmington Police Department and Downtown Visions, Interim Chief Bobby L. Cummings will present Safety Ambassador Stacy Gilbert with an award for her lifesaving actions in the fall of 2013.
On October 11, 2013, Downtown Visions Safety Ambassador Stacy Gilbert observed a female in distress on the Washington Street Bridge. The female was seated with one leg over the ledge and was actively attempting to jump off the bridge.
Ambassador Gilbert unhesitatingly grabbed the female and held on to prevent her from jumping. Additional Safety Ambassadors contacted the Wilmington Police for assistance.
Officer Sean Nolan arrived first on scene and observed the female attempting to break free from Ambassador Gilbert. He ran to the edge of the bridge and helped pull the female to safety.
Interim Chief Cummings will present Ambassador Gilbert with the department's Distinguished Community Member Award, an award given to civilians who have acted with courage and at considerable personal risk to help another.
This incident illustrates another successful example of the cooperation between Downtown Visions and the Wilmington Department of Police.
The Wilmington Police Department and Downtown Visions have worked closely since Downtown Visions' inception in 1994. Downtown Visions is the non-profit management company for Wilmington's Downtown Business Improvement District. Downtown Visions' Clean & Safe Ambassadors are on the streets of Downtown Wilmington, seven days a week. In addition, since 2001, Downtown Visions has monitored cameras both Downtown and in neighborhoods throughout Wilmington, alerting officers to crimes in progress and other emergency situations.

Housing prices in San Francisco have almost always been a source of legend, but with the advent of the tech boom, the city has seemingly been taken over by 20 and 30 somethings with six and seven figure incomes. The median home price in San Francisco is over $800,000 (including condos and single family homes) and the average listing price is at just under $1.5 million. It's no wonder that in a survey of homes, Redfin found that not a single home would be affordable to an average teacher. With the rising prices, what might be affordable to a middle class person? Anything?
According to Zillow, there are some properties that are still well under $500,000, but they come at a price, which is generally either space or livability. At just $329,000 this one bedroom condo might just be affordable, if you can put down 20% and afford a mortgage of about $1,500 a month (plus HOA fees).
The apartment appears to be in great condition and with just 265 square feet of space, it seems to be efficient. It would have to be. It's also in a surprisingly great area.
The least expensive single family home on Zillow is priced at just below $400,000. It's a two bedroom/one bath, which is described as a, "Contractor?s/Investor?s Special. House needs work. Upper level features 2br/1ba, kitchen, living room (with fireplace) & dining room combined." Compared to the condo, though, it's downright palatial with 930 square feet of living space, but it is located in the not-so-fashionable Excelsior District.
If getting more bang for your buck is your goal or if your family won't fit into a 265 square foot condo, crossing a bridge will get your more affordable housing, but pickings are slim, with the median home price in the Bay Area of $540,000.
If you're trying to figure out where to focus your home search in the Bay Area, Kwelia has this interactive map with home prices for each area.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LoriG Restaurant quality TRULY SPECIAL asparagus soup This is such an incredibly good soup. Perfect seasoning and consistency and very pure of flavor with white asparagus pieces. I'm shocked this is a packet soup. I highly recommend it and, honestly, if you made two packets, you could serve this at a dinner party and NO ONE would know you didn't make it - they would just rave about it all night. December 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Provence Absolutely delicious soup! After my first taste of this wonderful soup I have started stockpiling it (and the Leek and Mushroom varieties, too) so I don't have to worry about running out. I like to add fresh asparagus to the soup mix but it really tastes terrific without this addition. The seasoning is spot on and it has just the right consistency -- neither too thin or too thick. It's just plain delicious. May 6, 2014

Tuesday's WWE Tribute to the Troops did a 1.92 cable rating off hours of 1.9 and 1.94 with an average viewing audience of 2,767,000 on the USA Network.
The special will air in a one-hour format on Saturday on NBC.
Wrestling news, rumors, spoilers and results. We are a leading resource for WWE, TNA and everything related to pro wrestling.
By Richard Gray
This doesn't surprise me. While it's a good thing they are doing for the troops when you look at it from a fan who doesn't have military connections' point of view TTTT tends to be WWE's most boring show of the year. No storylines get advanced, there's no suspense as the face almost always win. If this show had happened on any Raw or Smackdown people would be angry that it was a boring show.
The wrestling on Tribute to the Troops was better than the 3-hour Slammy Awards RAW.
Missed it. Wonder if it'll be on Universal HD later in the week.

'Instant Images'
Here you will find 101 Polaroid's well Instant Images as Polaroid was the original instant film but only 'Fuji' and the 'Impossible Project' make instant film now. It's easy to pick up the film although original film is getting very expensive, but it is not about the expense it's about the images and the cameras. I use various cameras dating back from the late 50's to the new camera backs from the lomographic society. If you would like to try instant photography then buy a camera from eBay and then pop along to the impossible project and grab some film. If it's good enough for Warhol it's good enough for you and me.

NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith knew what city he was in when he opened up the players union's Super Bowl 2013 press conference Thursday afternoon.
The main theme was player safety, as the players gave $100 million to Harvard for a program dedicated to help increase player safety. Yet it took only about 20 seconds for Smith to reference the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal as Smith called the NFL's pursuit against the four previously suspended players "personal."
"You know that both the fans and the players were near and dear to the NFL Players Association's heart during this past year," Smith said. "It's very nice to be in New Orleans and not have to spend time in courthouse or think about the new lawsuit that we're about to file.
"On a serious note, for the players who were involved and their fans, was it a little bit personal for us given the connection between this city and the team that they love? Yes. And I'm never going to apologize for it. Our job was to defend and represent our players. And there's never going to be a day where we or I will apologize for doing anything less."
NFLPA President Domonique Foxworth said he knows how personal the people of New Orleans took the league's allegations of a pay-to-injure program resulting in the league twice suspending Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma and defensive end Will Smith, along with former Saints defenders Anthony Hargrove and Scott Fujita. All four players eventually had their suspensions vacated.
"The penalty had to be forcibly vacated, so that doesn't move us in any positive direction as far as trust is concerned," Foxworth said after the press conference. "But that issue encapsulates a lot of the concerns that a lot of our players have. It's just a big image to point to.
"A lot of players have smaller issues that don't get covered as well and don't involve a head coach that aren't as popular, but before this issue there was trust concerns. This just amplified it and acted as the multiplier. Not everyone plays for the Saints and not everyone is a Saints fan, but everyone felt that this was unjust and felt it could happen to them for a number of different issues.
"It's set us back a bit as far as trust is concerned. It's part of my responsibility to try to rebuild that. It helps us operate a little better and helps things go smoothly if they're willing to cooperate with some checks and balances."
Foxworth said the league's handling of the bounty scandal displayed to him how challenging it's become to anticipate how the league will handle player issues.
"It would be reasonable to think that they would value regaining their employees' trust," Foxworth said. "But I mean there's no indication that they are going to work in that direction. I hope they do."
Foxworth later added: "The ball is in their (NFL) court as far as rebuilding trust. We can't force our guys to trust them. They (the NFL) have to start to behave in a way that gains them some trust."
Here were a few other talking points from the presser:
- Smith said the three issues highest on the union's radar that he hopes can be resolved with the NFL are having independent sideline concussion experts, credentialing for medical team personnel and a crackdown on team waivers for the use of Toradol.
- Foxworth threw a verbal barb at the NFL saying the league's "bottom line" ranks much higher on its priority list than player safety, using a possible 18-game season and Thursday night football games as examples.
- The NFLPA conducted a survey of players from every team concerning player safety. The most eye-popping statistic was on the issue of players trusting a team's medical staff. On a scale from 1-5 with five being "not at all," 78 percent of the players surveyed chose "not at all."
- Smith said the lockout of the officials was one of the most deliberate disregard of player safety that's occurred since the NFLPA's inception.

corn, buttermilk and chive popovers

Corn, Buttermilk and Chive Popovers
Adapted from The New Basics
I got the idea in my head for buttermilk corn popovers last month and became a little obsessed. I even bought a popover pan in a moment of weakness, but hear me out: you do not need one. I did not need one. You can use a muffin tin. Or ramekins. Trust me, as I will never find a place to put this away which means that it will soon be re-appropriated for paint cups or Cheerio storage and it's all my fault.
Unsure of where to start, I turned to Google, which led me to a recipe for corn popovers from The New Basics by Julee Russo and Sheila Lukins. I adjusted them a bit; I swapped buttermilk for regular, as was my plan, and I found that the corn really had to be blended to become part of the batter (rather than kernels that fell out after tearing the popover open). I had to reduce the baking temperature and increase the baking time over two rounds to get the grandest puffs. My hunch is that the recipe had originally been developed using a muffin tin, where each cup usually holds a scant 1/2 cup liquid rather than a popover pan or ramekin, where each cup usually holds 3/4 cup liquid, so if you're using a muffin tin, you are likely to need less baking time but yield more popovers.
Makes 6 popovers in a traditional popover pan or in ramekins; will likely make 9 in muffin tins
1 cup buttermilk (or make your own sour milk)
1/2 cup corn kernels (from most of one cob)
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter, cooled, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon table salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
Place buttermilk and corn in a blender together and blend for just 3 seconds — you're looking to break up the corn a bit, not puree it. Add the eggs, one tablespoon of the melted butter and blend for one second more. Add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, a few grinds of black pepper (I used four, not that you asked or that I'd expect a normal person to count) and the chives and blend again until barely combined, some lumps are fine.
Set the batter aside to rest while you preheat your oven to 375 degrees, about 15 minutes. Brush your popover, muffin or ramekin cups with the remaining tablespoon of butter. Fill each cup slightly more than halfway with batter (see top of recipe for cup estimates).
Bake popovers 30 to 35 minutes (see Note above about baking times in a muffin tin). Try not to open the oven door! Crack it just 1-inch to take a peak if absolutely necessary towards the end. Popovers are done when they're tall and bronzed. Flip popovers out onto cooling rack and let cool for a few minutes before tearing in. Even then, they will be filled with steam and very hot in the middle — be careful. Eat with a great big summery salad on a deck somewhere, please.

Marcelo Ferreira
Marcelo Ferreira was elevated from assistant coach to associated head coach for the Texas Tech men's tennis teamin October, 2012.
"I have always looked at Marcelo as my equal. We have had two head coaches for the past five years," said Siegel. "He has helped our program accomplish so much. He has done an outstanding job in recruiting and in coaching and teaching our players. I feel the time is right to elevate him to associate head coach, because of everything he has done for me, the program and our student-athletes."
Ferreira is in his sixth season as an assistant coach at Texas Tech and has twice been named the ITA Texas Region Assistant Coach of the Year, earning the honor in 2010 and 2012.
"I am so thankful for this opportunity from Coach Siegel and (Director of Athletics) Kirby Hocutt," said Ferreira. "I feel like it is just an extension of their belief in my abilities to be a good all-around coach. This is very motivating for me. I am excited to take on more duties and responsibilities, whatever they may be, to show that I can run this program right beside Coach Siegel."
Since Ferreira's arrival in Lubbock, the Red Raiders have been ranked in the ITA Top 25 in four of the last five seasons. He has also helped lead Texas Tech to five straight appearances to the NCAA Championships.
Besides assisting the Red Raiders on the courts, Ferreira is also one of the top recruiters in the nation, traveling overseas to sign the world's top talent, while also assisting with the day-to-day operations of the program. He was instrumental in the recruitment of Texas Tech's only two All-Americans - Raony Carvalho and Gonzalo Escobar.
During his five-year tenure, nine different Red Raiders have earned an ITA national ranking. He has also coached 20 All-Big 12 selections and 21 Academic All-Big 12 honorees since his arrival.
Ferreira began his collegiate coaching career at his alma mater at Georgia College & State University, where he was the assistant men's and women's tennis coach.
The São Paulo, Brazil, native began his coaching career in 1998 at the Mauro Menezes Tennis Academy in São Paulo, where he taught lessons and helped manage the academy. During the same time, he also taught at the Alphaville Tennis Club organizing inter-clubs and challenges. As a certified tennis teaching professional in Brazil, his experience led him to coach three All-American players during his tenure.
After leaving Brazil, Ferreira became the director at Future Stars Tennis Camp in South Hampton, N.Y. Also during that time, he founded 2SV Sports Management, a company that organizes events and tournaments for prospective tennis players to compete in the United States.
A member of the International Club GCSU, he was also a three-time letterwinner at Georgia College & State University. There he compiled a 47-33 career record in singles and a 32-23 career record in doubles. Ferreira was also named to the Peach Belt Conference Presidential Honor Roll all three years.
Ferreira graduated from Georgia College & State in 2006 with a bachelor of science in education, with an emphasis in physical education. He earned a master's of science degree in education, with a focus on human performance and sports management from Texas Tech.

Small mound-forming hebes tend to be hardier than larger varieties, and make very attractive neat plants for edging or grouping at the front of borders they also grow well in containers. Although they tolerate shade, plants flower best in full sun, and must have well-drained soil with some humus such as compost worked in to prevent the roots from becoming too dry. H. subalpina is a neat variety, with dense spreading foliage and white flowers, which smother the plants in early summer. It is one of the best ground cover hebes available.

Le Continental Restaurant Review: In this pleasant dwelling, red woodwork and a nautical theme prevail in the dining room and the terrace offers a pretty view of the port. The seafood menu tends to play it safe, but is interesting nonetheless. The wine list features an amazing selection of Bordeaux.

My advice is to go Guitar>Amp>FX Send>POD Input then POD output>FX return. This (in my opinion) the best setup for amps as far as keeping the inegrity of the signal. When I run the guitar straight into the POD and then into the amp, I lose integrity. In other words, when I switch on my distortion, it loses a lot of gain, even if/when I can get my clean channel to sound almost identical. The only problem is if your amp doesn't have a footswitchable FX loop button. Surprisingly, many amps don't, but if your amp does, go with the FX loop. If you DO go with the FX loop, make sure to check the rear panel of your POD (the panel with all the input/output jacks) and set the "Amp/Line" switch to "Line." This will give you the purest tone (in my opinion) as it switches the POD to "studio direct mode," which bypasses the POD's preamps and only adds on the effects you assign. I hope this helps!
Also, I would like to add that I'm playing through an Egnater Vengeance, which is a pretty high quality amp, so the scenario could be 100% using a Marshall Valvestate. If you try my recommendation and aren't satisfied with it, please don't think any lesser of me, it's just what I've found that works for me!

Our Lady Of Immaculate Conception Church, Urwa-Mangalore
The Urwa Church originally was situated at Derebail. The Catholics were caught during a Sunday Mass here and led into the captivity to Srirangapattana by Tippu Sultan. The Church was completely destroyed and all records were burnt and the parish families got scattered. After the death of Tippu Sultan in 1799 many captives returned back but found all their lands were occupied by others. In 1864, Fr Lawrence D'Souza lived in a hut and offered Mass in a small building. The people united together to built a small chapel near the present Church. It was served from the Cathedral. In 1865, Fr Emmanuel Salvadore Vas was put in charge of the chapel. Urwa was formed into a Parish in 1886 with Fr Salvadore Vas as the first Parish Priest. The Parish was dedicated to Our Lady of Immaculate Conception. Rt Rev. Michael Antony ocd, the Vicar Apostolic, paid the first pastoral visit on May 5, 1870.
In 1889, Fr Balthazar Rebello received Rs 1,000 from the Bishop and some loan from Mr B S Saldanha of Bolar Coffee Works and the local Catholics bought the present site. Fr J.B. Rossi, the Vicar General, laid the foundation stone for the present Church on October 7, 1890. To construct the Church building, Fr. Rebello sold his ancestoral property. By facing great difficulties and with his sustained hard work of three years, the Urwa Church was blessed and inaugurated in 1893. Fr Camillus Rego added the portico in 1901. Fr A.J. D'Souza (1915-1930) started the devotion to Our Lady of Pompei and the altar was declared a Privileged Altar by Pope Pius X on December 6, 1904. Fr A.J. D'Souza also started a monthly magazine, "The Trumpet Call".
Fr T.A Lobo (1951-1971) added new wings to the Church. The entire western wing of the Church building was donated by Mr G.A. Rodrigues. He built the Centenary Hall in 1964. Fr Valerian D'Souza (1971-1978) constructed an open air stage, built the belfry. Fr John D'Souza constructed the present new Church building and it was inaugurated on May 1, 1991.
Rev Fr. Fred Pereira and Rev Fr. Dennis Prabhu also served the community as Parish Priests and guided the parishioners.
Mr H.E.W. Fernandes donated the High School building. Fr Valerian D'Souza started an English Medium Nursery School.
Rev Fr Andrew Lewis who was the Parish Priest from 2001 to 2008 gave a new shape to the Church campus. He extended the English Medium School Building. He also did renovation of the Centenary Hall, built the present Presbytery and above all did a lot for the spiritual growth of the Community. Since November 2008 Fr Victor D'Mello is the Parish Priest of this Parish. Being young and energetic he is fully involved in the Parish activity and continues the ministry of guiding the Community.
This Church is situated in Urwa, Mangalore and is surrounded by Ashoknagar, Bejai, Thannirbavi and Milagres Parishes.
The image of Our Lady of Pompei represents Our Lady with Her Son Jesus Christ, handing out Rosaries to St. Dominic and St. Catherine of Siena.
The present devotion to Our Lady of Pompei owes much to Bartolo Longo, a lawyer, one of Her most zealous apostles. Bartolo Longo was born in 1841 in Brinddisi, Italy. His mother ensured from an early age that Bartolo developed a great love for Our Lady through praying the Rosary. During his student days, however, his friends drew him towards the occult. Eventually he became a Satanic priest and condemned the Catholic Church, deriding the hierarchy and the established Catholic system. A saintly priest with a deep devotion to the Rosary brought Bartolo back to the faith. With renewed zeal Bartolo vowed to work for the poor and needy and endeavoured to spread devotion to Mary through the Rosary.On visiting Valley De Pompei in 1872 he aimed to evangelize the people who were leading a worldly life. What he needed was a suitable image of the Blessed Mother to aid his mission. Fortunately a Dominican Sister supplied him with a painting of Our Lady of the Rosary, and after restoration, this painting was exposed for public veneration.In 1883 a sanctuary was built at the valley of Pompei for the image and consecrated in 1891. Miracles were reported and pilgrims began to frequent the place. The devotion started spreading far and wide.
In Urwa Parish, Rev.Fr. A.J.D'Souza, who served as the Vicar from 1915 to 1930 was instrumental in introducing the devotion to Our Lady of Pompei. He brought a copy of this picture from Pompei and it was enshrined on a side altar. Thus Urwa became a place of pilgrimage for a large number of devotees from every nook and corner of Mangalore.
In 1995 Rev. Msgr.Fred Pereira , who himself was inspired by the devotion, took the lead with the help of the devotees and built a shrine to Our Lady of Pompei. Priests coming to the Parish from time to time have given an impetus to the devotion.
Hundreds of people belonging to different castes and religions visit the shrine every day to pour out their problems and petitions at the feet of Mother Mary. Countless people are witnesses to various favors received through the intercession of Our Lady of Pompei.
Novena is held on every Wednesday with Mass at 5.30 p.m., during which special prayers are offered for the devotees and for the sick.
Every year on the second Sunday of December the feast of Our Lady of Pompei is celebrated at Urwa with devotion. On that day open air Mass is celebrated, followed by Eucharistic procession and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Thousands of devotees visit the shrine that day and take part in the liturgy. Fireworks are held to conclude the celebration of the feast. Thus the shrine has become a centre for the warmth and blessings of Our Lady of Pompei to all.

If you are sponsoring a large event where a lot of people are attending there are many advantages that you can offer to sponsor of the event. For example, say you are holding a Blues festival where thousands of people will be attending. You can approach a large company like Coca Cola and tell them in your corporate sponsorship request that if they agree to give you x amount of dollars, they can be the official supplier of soft drinks at the festival. At a certain level of corporate sponsorship, they will also be the exclusive supplier of soft drinks, you will put banners of their products up throughout the event. If they want they can also provide cuts with their advertising on it, which will be used at all food stands.
This gives them exclusivity and guarantees that no other vendor who is either not sponsoring the event or who is sponsoring event can provide their soft drinks at the event. Now such a corporate sponsorship request will come at a price but it is a great deal for both of you.
So you have made a letter and a presentation already for potential sponsors. The next thing that you need to do is to actually approach these individuals and present to them your offer. This is easier said than done though. Many people are shy about approaching heads of businesses. This is due to several reasons. First is the fear of failure or of being rejected. No one wants to be rejected, of course. Next, some people think that asking for sponsorship is akin to begging. If you are having a hard time approaching potential sponsors, then you must first analyze where the difficulty is coming from in order to solve it.
First of all, let us discuss the fear of rejection and how to conquer it. One of the things that you can do is to fail as early as possible. Yes, you heard me right. This is the reason why you need to contact the most difficult person first. Of course, you should not expect failure or rejection. But you need to prepare for it and welcome it even. Accept the fact that rejection is part of the process of getting sponsors. Once you are able to accept this fact, then the prospect rejection will no longer have great power over you.
Of course, you should not fail without gaining some valuable lessons. After each rejection, you should analyze where you failed and the possible reasons why you got rejected. Then the next time you approach a potential sponsor, you must apply what you have learned already. Remember, never be afraid of making mistakes and of being rejected. And when you do, do no waste the valuable opportunity to learn.
Next, will try to fix your shyness. One of the reasons why people are shy about approaching potential sponsors is because they feel like they are begging for money. This is simply not true. You are actually not asking for a donation. By asking for sponsorship, you are actually offering something and return and that is the opportunity for the company to advertise their product and reach their target market in a very cost effective manner. What you have actually is a business proposal. You have something that can help the company expand their businesses and this should give you some leverage when negotiating. Sure you are asking for help but you are also offering something in return.
Make no mistake about it. Companies are always on the lookout for sponsorship opportunities. They know the potential it brings and how cost effective it is as a promotional effort. They know that through sponsorship they have a better chance of getting loyal customers. It is also a good opportunity for them to have some positive public relations within the community. The public will see them as a generous company that is willing to help and support good causes.
When it comes to approaching potential sponsors, it is all just a matter of changing your perspective about things. Once you see yourself as someone with something valuable to offer then you will be able to conquer your shyness.
You have arrived at Corporate Sponsorship Requests. You must be in the process of looking to find corporations to sponsor your fundraising activities. If so, you have come to the right place. We are here to provide advice so that you can get your event sponsored by a local or national corporation.

UMass Rally Falls Short Against Wildcats
Jan. 19, 2003
AMHERST, Mass. - New Hampshire scored two goals in a four-minute span in the third period, and then held off a UMass rally late in the game to defeat the Minutemen, 4-3, in Hockey East action on Sunday. The loss, UMass' third in a row, drops its record to 13-10-1 overall and 7-8-0 in Hockey East, good for a tie for fourth place.
UMass wasted little time getting on the board. Mike Warner (Waltham, Mass.) fired a shot at UNH goalie Mike Ayers that kicked off to the left that Greg Mauldin (Holliston, Mass.) rebounded and stuck the puck under the crossbar for his 12th goal of the year, just 51 seconds into the contest. Tim Turner (Saginaw, Mich.) also assisted on the goal. The goal for Mauldin earned him his 50th career point at UMass.
However, New Hampshire answered midway in the first period when Sean Collins capped off a 2-on-1 break, by sticking the puck into the back of the net past a diving Michael Waidlich (Millers Falls, Mass.) at the 13:03 mark to knot the score at 1-1. The Wildcats then went up 2-1 late in the second period, when Nathan Martz scored in a pile-up in front of the net. Martz poked the puck out of Waidlich's glove as he had it covered, and slid it into the back of the net at the 17:10 mark of second stanza.
UMass countered when Thomas P?ck (Klagenfurt, Austria) scored his 12th goal of the season just 1:33 into the third period. P?ck let loose a slapshot from just inside the blue line that beat a screened Ayers five-hole to tie the game at 2-2. But UNH responded just 27 seconds later when Jim Abbott scored during another pile-up in front of UMass goalie Michael Waidlich. Waidlich appeared to have the puck covered, but Abbott found an opening and slid it past the freshman goaltended for a 3-2 advantage. UNH increased the lead to 4-2 at the 5:46 mark when Joshua Prudden finished off a pretty 3-on-1 break by putting away his sixth goal of the year with assists from Lanny Gare and Colin Hemingway. Prudden scored as Gare sent over a scoring pass in front of Waidlich, that appeared out of reach. Prudden, however, got a stick and the puck and flipped it high as Waidlich was sliding to get across.
But UMass wasn't done, and narrowed the margin to 4-3 when Chris Capraro (Medford, Mass.) deflected a Marvin Degon slapshot for his fourth tally of the season. Capraro deflected the puck top-shelf as Ayers was going down to block Degon's shot. P?ck also assisted on the goal.
The goal sparked life in the Minutemen, as they started to pepper Ayers with several tight shots. However, the junior goalie stood tall and held the Minutemen at bay the rest of the way to preserve the 4-3 victory.
UMass will be in action next Friday, Jan. 25, at the Mullins Center for a 7:00 p.m. game with Hockey East rival Northeastern.

Most of you are aware how the standard deductible 401(k) plan works. The participants have the ability to route part of their salary to a retirement account on a pre-tax basis. The tax deferred growth continues until retirement, at which time, the money is withdrawn over a period of years and the distributions are taxed at the ordinary tax rate in effect for the year of withdraw.
The major advantages of saving money thru a deductible 401(k) plan is that you should pay less tax in the year you contribute the money and the account should grow into an even larger sum of monies until retirement. At that point, when distributions come out, and the expected result is that retirees will be in a lower tax bracket then they were when they worked.
As many people retire, they are finding themselves in just as high of a tax bracket as when they worked, and the expected benefit of the tax deferred retirement accounts never really materializes. They are happy they have the money, but are unhappy with all the taxes due as a result of the distributions.
A popular (fairly new) option included in many 401k plans over the last couple years is the Roth 401(k). You should give serious consideration to utilizing this option, if it is available to you. The two major differences when comparing the Roth 401(k) to the deductible 401(k) plan are that 1) contributions are not made on a pre-tax basis and 2) the withdrawals are not taxable under current law.
The overall limit on all 401(k) contributions is $17,000 per year ($22,500 if you are age 50 or older and your plan allows for catch-up contributions). This annual limit can be contributed all to a deductible 401(k), all to a Roth 401(k), or split between the two, as long as the combined amounts do not exceed the annual contribution limit. If your employer provides a matching contribution, the match must all be contributed to the deductible portion of the 401k account, even if all employee contributions are going into the Roth 401(k).
Roth accounts are not subject to Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) requirements until after the owner passes away, which make them very friendly when it comes to estate planning. There is some sentiment that Congress will figure out a way to include Roth distributions in the definition of taxable income, but until that actually happens; I do not think you should rule out contributing to your Roth account. In my opinion, Roth accounts should be utilized, to the extent possible, in order to give you a combination of taxable and non-taxable income in retirement.

Camera, Rocket Borne
This 16 mm motion picture camera was flown aboard an Aerobee-hi rocket on October 5, 1954. The photomosaic assembled from pictures taken on that flight was reported to be the first high altitude color picture of a major weather front. This is one of the two cameras on the flight responsible for the mosaic, and it was transferred to the Museum by the Naval Research Laboratory. The original photomosaic is also in the collection (A19620042).
