The women's 5.8-kilometer race will start at 8:30 a.m. and the men's 8k will follow at 9 a.m. Parking and admission are free.
Both of CU's cross country programs are ranked in the USTFCCCA's Coaches' Preseason Poll. The men are ranked fifth, while the women are 13th overall.
Each team has some rebuilding to do as the women lost two postseason scorers and the men lost three. The men lost a pair of All-Americans in Richard Medina and Andy Wacker, as well as all-region honoree Christian Thompson, but senior Joe Bosshard, a two-time All-American, is questionable for the year.
"The top returning male is Joe Bosshard, but he had major surgery on his hip in May, a torn labarum, which is often up to a year of recovery time," coach Mark Wetmore said. "His rehab is going well, but it will be a bit of a miracle if he's at a level that will make it sensible to use him this fall.
"Then we go to the next returning top guy from the fall which was a freshman named Ammar Moussa who is very talented and has a great work ethic. But even as a sophomore that is young. He arrived here at 17 and so he is a little young to have the mantle of the top man on his shoulders. And then we are going to our developmental guys. Aric Van Halen took a big step last spring in the steeplechase for those of you who followed our outdoor track season. He was not in our scoring varsity a year ago, but he could be this year. We've had a couple of interesting transfers come in, so it will be a new looking team on the men's side."
The transfers who Wetmore was referring to are Jake Hurysz and Morgan Pearson. Hurysz became the first UNC Tar Heel to qualify for the NCAA Cross Country Championships since 1997 and placed 62nd overall in 2011. He led UNC at the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships and Southeast regionals, placing sixth and seventh, respectively. Pearson transferred to CU from Duke and placed 36th at the ACC Championships and was 50th at the Southeast regional.
Van Halen, who will be a senior this season, was an all-region and All-Big 12 honoree in 2010.
The women return All-American Shalaya Kipp but lost All-American Emma Coburn and Katie Cumming. They do return some significant talent in sophomore Rachel Baptista. Redshirt sophomore Jana Stolting sat out last season after she transferred from San Francisco. She placed 15th at the 2010 NCAA West Region Championship and will look to score for the Buffs this season.
"On the women side the top returner is Shalaya Kipp, who just came back from London after a wonderful outdoor track season," Wetmore said. "She is in the same situation as Emma Coburn was a year ago when Emma ran at the world championships in Korea. So Shalaya will disappear for a while and then go back into training. Coach (Heather) Burroughs and I will take a look at her around midseason and see if she is ready to go. After Shalaya, the youngster I'm most excited about is Rachel Baptista; she was a scorer for us as a freshman. She has had an excellent summer and could be an important runner for us."
The Buffs will look to defend their 2011 Pac-12 team championship titles which they won last October at the inaugural championships. The Pac-12 is perennially one to the top distance conferences in the country and this year is no different. CU's men are the top conference school at fifth, but the women's side has the top two in the country with Oregon and Washington ranked first and second, respectively.
"While we are diminished, no one in the Pac-12 returns a monster team," Wetmore said. "It's always an extremely competitive conference. I can't think of a team that returns all five of its starters or a good percentage. In our sport it's possible to recruit a completely different team in one year. Stanford, Oregon, Washington, Arizona; they will all be good. It will be one of the best conferences in the country."
For the last eight consecutive years, the NCAA Cross Country Championships have been contested in Terre Haute, Ind, but this year the championship will be held in Louisville, Ky.
"I don't like it being at the same place year after year and it had been in Terre Haute, Ind. nine of the last 10 years," Wetmore said. "The problem is that the race has been expanded to be so big that few of the old hosts could bid for it. There are really only two places that I'm aware of that can safely, fairly and comfortably host it, and that's Ames, Iowa and Terre Haute. Louisville is sure that they can and have convinced the NCAA that they can. I'm sure they are working hard to accommodate the 255 or so runners. I've never been there so it will be new to us."
After the time trial on Saturday, the Buffs will have four weeks before their next meet, the 27th Annual Rocky Mountain Shootout on September 29. Meet information for both of CU's meets is available at cubuffs.com/crosscountry.

There are a couple good reasons to look skyward in the Santa Monica Mountains this May – a pair of star-studded events provided by the National Park Service.
The ringed planet of Saturn will reach the closest point of its orbit to Earth in May and you can take advantage of this alignment by checking out Astronomy Day, a free event that will be held at the Racho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa area of the Santa Monica Mountains in Newbery Park. The even will be held on Saturday, May 10th from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Meet at the visitor center at 4121 Potrero Road, Newbury Park, CA, 91320 and scope out Saturn at it's brightest as it passes closest to the earth in 2014.
One week later, on May 17th an Astrophotography Event will be held in the same area. This event is a two-parter. Beginning at the NPS headquarters in Thousand Oaks (401 West Hillcrest Drive), there will be an astrophotography lecture from 4 p.m. to 5:50 p.m. The lecture will cover "the Milky Way, star trails, Moon phases, the science of sunsets, focusing in the dark, exposure stacking, correct exposures, and the role of ISO."
After the lecture, put the lessons to use outside the Satwiwa Native American Indian Culture Center Field Section, located at Rancho Sierra Vista / Satwiwa in Newbury Park. From 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. you can practice photographing the night sky (and pick up a few more pointers). Bring a DSLR camera and a tripod.

When I asked about the wifi that didn't extend to my room, the response was "you don't come to the mountains for wifi" Another basic hostel necessity is hot water in the showers. I was lucky to get only two of the three days I stayed. "- Анонимный

Being the largest instrument maker in the world, Yamaha has a ton to offer any musician. Naturally, that includes the drummer with a broad selection of drums and percussion to choose from. Yamaha is a leading developer of electronic instruments, so it comes as no surprise that they make great electronic drums, as well as acoustic shell packs and all kinds of stands and mounting hardware for your kit. For any sort of drum set you want to build, Yamaha has all the essentials to get you started. If you're looking for a reliable and well-built beginner drum set, start your search with the Gigmaker series. You can get these drums in a shell pack if you'd like to use your own hardware, or a full drum set with hardware included for out-of-the-box playability. The Gigmakers deliver consistently brilliant sound with their basswood and poplar shells. Yamaha also offers the Stage Custom Birch shell packs for drummers who prefer the strong presence and distinctive highs of birch.
Maybe electronic drums are more your style? If so, you're in luck, because Yamaha has even more options here. Full sets range from the beginner-friendly DTX400K to the top-of-the-line DTX950K. Check out Yamaha's drum machines like the DTX700 or DTX900 Series Trigger Modules if you plan to hook up your own pads or triggers and are just looking for the "brain" of your setup. Or, if you'd like something that's all-in-one for practice and portability, grab a self-contained digital drum set such as the DD-65 Digital Drums. You can also expand a setup with the DTX-MULTI 12 Digital Percussion Pad, which can function as an ultra-compact drum set all on its own, or connect to triggers and pads to become an expansion to your existing electronic or acoustic kit. Yamaha really makes the possibilities endless with these kinds of versatile options.
Yamaha's drums and percussion, both digital and acoustic, have found their way onto stages all over the world thanks to their great reputation for performance. Not only that, but they also make all the hardware you could ask for, so it couldn't be any easier to get up and running with a new Yamaha drum set today.

Fake Meat On A Stick!
Lemme guess: When you tell people you're vegetarian or vegan, they tell you, "I can't believe you can't eat [insert something that an animal was killed for] anymore! I could never be vegan." The truth is, these days, you can make pretty much everything vegan. Deviled Eggs? Check. Stuffed Crust Pizza? For sure. Lasagna? Duh.
More proof that all those dishes you might have thought you could never eat again can, in fact, be made vegan? The Betty Crocker Project, an endeavor that peta2's own Dan Shannon and his wife Annie have taken on to veganize every recipe in The Betty Crocker Cookbook. Daunting? Yes. Awesome? Of course!
I was lucky enough to get my obsessed-with-vegan-food hands on a Betty Crocker Project creation recently when Annie and Dan made ribs and corn on the cob. Yup, vegan ribs. I may or may not have eaten just as much as the dudes did. Just sayin'. Check these babies out:
The texture was great, and though the vegan version looks different than the standard flesh on a bone, I like that about them. These little numbers were made with Match Meats, an awesome vegan meat alternative, and three different glazes. The recipe can be found here. If you're the type of person who likes to get a little messy when eating, then slather these bad boys up with your fave BBQ sauce (and lick the extras off your fingers). YUM!
Check out more of Annie and Dan's awesome creations here. And tell me: What food were you surprised to find out could be made vegan?

If you're a normal parent, your prime directive is pretty simple: provide a nurturing environment where your children feel safe to grow, and help them become independent adults.
But what happens when one of your children has an autistic spectrum disorder that makes him, at times, a physical danger to other family members? What's "the right thing to do" when what's best for one may not be best for the others?
"Falling," by Deanna Jent, deals with this difficult subject in an authentic, if heart-rending way. Playwright Jent's family is among those who have a loved-one struggling with autism, and there's no mistaking the detailed, slice-of-life portrayal of all that entails. Kudos to Meadow Brook Theatre for teaming up with OUCARES to raise both awareness and much needed funds to help treat this disorder, which affects between one and 1.5 million Americans today.
"I saw 'Falling' in New York, and it was such an honest story," says Travis Walter, MBT's artistic director. "I couldn't stop talking about it. Daniel Everidge, who played Josh, was spectacular. I'm so excited that he decided to join our MBT family and reprise his role in our production."
Daniel Everidge is simply uncanny in his depiction of 18-year-old Joshua, an adult-sized boy coping with a severe impairment. His moods swing from the rapturous joy of dancing in falling feathers, to aggressive outbursts triggered by something as seemingly mundane as a barking dog.
Sarab Kamoo proves once again that she is an actress who must be taken seriously. As Josh's mother Tami, she conveys all the stoicism of a woman whose basic instincts are pulling her in opposite directions – doing what's best for her son while wondering if she's failing her teenage daughter, Lisa. Tami copes by clinging tightly to the things she can control, stretching physically and emotionally to keep her family together by sheer force of will.
Chris Hetikko also delivers a strong and sympathetic performance as Josh and Lisa's dad, Bill. A loving husband and caring father, he wants what's best for his son but worries that he can't protect others in his family from collateral damage. And he is terrified by what the strain is doing to his wife and their marriage.
Lisa (Lizzie Rainville), like any teenage girl, just wants a "normal" family, and resents the fact that her world, by necessity, revolves around the needs of her big brother. She's a good kid trapped in a tough situation.
Together, Bill, Tami and Lisa know how to read Josh's signals and have developed an elaborate scheme of games and diversions they can use to help Josh cope with things that trigger aggressive outbreaks. More alarming is the fact that they have also construed a series of code words that they've developed to warn each other when it's important to seek safety or get help.
Their lives are an elaborate plate-spinning act. And when Bill's mother, "Grammy Sue," arrives for a week-long visit, the plates start falling. Grammy Sue, played by Carolyn Gillespie, is a devout woman who loves her family and encourages them to surrender their hopes and fears to a good and caring God. She prays for Joshua's healing, and urges Tami and Sue to join her. Gillespie handles the role with admirable restraint, and we like and admire Grammy Sue for wanting to help, even if she's not sure how.
The truth is, every case of autism is unique. By definition, that's the nature of spectrum disorders. Even though this particular story focuses on one young man with profound challenges, everyone who sees this powerful production will leave with a greater understanding of and empathy for the many families affected by autism.
Without giving too much away, it's safe to say that if you think you know where the plot is leading, you don't. This stirring story has a few surprises. And at its core, there is a message most can empathize with: sometimes the only way to hold it together is to let go.
"Falling" is directed by Travis Walter, who infuses the story with a nuanced balance of tenderness, personal tragedy and universal truth. Terry Carpenter is the stage manager, with detailed set design by Jennifer Price Fick, costumes by Liz Goodall, lighting by Reid G. Johnson and sound by Mike Duncan.
"Falling" runs through April 13, 2014, with performances on Wednesday through Sunday scheduled for a variety of evening and matinee show times. Check the MTB online calendar for details. Tickets range from $25 to $40 and are available by calling the Meadow Brook Theatre box office at 248-377-3300 or going online at Ticketmaster. Student discounts are available at the box office. Groups of eight or more should call 248-370-3316 for group pricing. Please note that "Falling" is intended for mature audiences. Meadow Brook Theatre is located on the campus of Oakland University in Rochester.
If you are looking for ways to help autism-related causes, Meadow Brook Theatre offers this link. In addition, if you are seeking therapeutic arts and recreation opportunities for loved ones with mental, physical and/or emotional impairments, we highly recommend the services of FAR.

What Gold's Rally Into and Out of Year-End Is Telling Us
Rod David
Tuesday's interim dip already wasn't credible. Extending its recovery Thursday is.
The following are the latest daily summaries of my ongoing intraday coverage, providing context to interpret price action. Any prices listed are for a contract's current "front month." Their direction tends to correlate with any ETFs listed for each.
Today's Highlight:
If 2014's first trading session is any indication, then this year will not reward complacency. Thursday's abrupt resolutions to the recent euro topping and gold bottoming patterns might still be absorbed Friday. But entering the week without rejecting Thursday's action will confirm their new trends are underway.
Dollar Basket
Mar Contract DX; (NYSEARCA:UUP), (NYSEARCA:UDN)
Gapping up Thursday helps to confirm a bottom is forming, which will continue being the premise so long as 80.50 now holds as support.
Mar Contract EC; (NYSEARCA:FXE)
Three sessions of consolidating at resistance proved to be distribution when Thursday's open gapped down sharply to the prior bounce's origin. A second consecutive lower close Friday would confirm a new downleg underway potentially targeting 1.3500. Otherwise, a bounce must hold 1.3695 to maintain this break's momentum.
Feb Contract GC; (NYSEARCA:GLD)
Thursday's gap up extended through the 1217.00 resistance whose test had produced Tuesday's new low. The 1232.50 target remains intact so long as 1221.00 now holds as support. The target can be tested up to 1237.00-1240.00.
Mar Contract SI; (NYSEARCA:SLV)
Extending higher without delay Thursday would have been credible for putting in a bottom. Gapping up sharply fulfilled the condition. Extending higher without delay Friday would be credible for extending the recovery to 20.70.
30-year Treasury
Mar Contract US; (NYSEARCA:TLT)
Thursday's retest of the decline's 127-28 target was recovered back above the 128-06 to test 128-26. This suggests that a bottom is forming, which would be signaled by closing higher Friday.
Crude Oil
Feb Contract CL; (NYSEARCA:USO)
Fresh lows Thursday extended down sharply, too deeply to be considered only a corrective dip. Any potential for resuming the rally will require another accumulative consolidation pattern to form, and then to trigger. Thursday's 95.50 low is a 61.8% retracement of the rally from 92.15, so trying to extend down Friday morning might stretch the rubber band too tightly not to snap back up. The delayed EIA report will be released Friday morning.
Natural Gas
Jan Contract NG; (NYSEARCA:UNG), (NYSEARCA:UNL)
Tuesday's year-ending fresh low was seemingly rejected by Thursday's new-year gap up, yet again missing a second consecutive lower close that would have been bearish. The inside day retraced only 61.8% of Tuesday's drop to 4.33, so extending any higher Friday would be credible for surging sharply intraday. Closing under 4.23 Friday would be very difficult to recover without yet forming another accumulation pattern. The delayed EIA report will be released Friday morning.

Wildlife official observed people drinking before deadly Clermont County vehicle pursuit
WAYNE TWP., Ohio -- The driver and passengers involved in a fatal Clermont County crash were observed drinking before police engaged them in a pursuit.
A spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources confirmed Wildlife Officer Jason Keller watched Jason Wright of Martinsville and Charles McMullen of Williamsburg, drinking alcohol and acting disorderly before leaving Stonelick Park in a 2005 Saturn Sunday around 7 p.m.
Keller and other officers then engaged the Saturn that Wright and McMullen were backseat passengers in, according to ODNR.
The pair died on State Route 727 about 7:15 p.m. Sunday after the car, driven by Paul Chisenhall, 36, lost control while cresting a hill.
The crash was the sixth double-fatal accident in the area just this year. Most of those deaths were due to speed.
"It's a hilly, curvy, winding road," said Ohio State Highway Patrol Lt. Wayne Price, "so if you're going to start traveling above the 45-mph speed limit, then absolutely speed becomes an issue just by the layout of the road itself."
Wright was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the car. Police say McMullen was wearing a seat belt.
Chisenhall, of Goshen, and a third passenger, Christina Singleton, 31, of Newport, Kentucky, remain hospitalized.

Cream blushes are perfect for summer and for easy application. It doesn't give a cakey feeling like powder blushes do sometimes. I find that it looks more natural on the skin. It also gives a "dewy" look. It's easy to blend and very versatile. If you're looking for a blush that gives your skin that extra glow, then you should try out a cream blush! It may look hard to apply or too pigmented at first, but it's real easy to put on and looks gorgeous when blended in.
My two favorites from the drugstore are:
Revlon Cream Blush in 09 Rosy Glow (Very smooth)
Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush 20 Peach Satin (Fluffy feeling with shimmer)
If you're looking to spend a little more on cream blushes, MAC Cosmetics also makes them.

Brett Roy is one of the hardest working hard nosed players in this up coming draft. Brett has been viewed by many to be a versatile player who can line up at many positions including defensive end, defensive tackle and even linebacker. His skill set and high motor reminds me a lot of Ravens OLB Jarrett Johnson. Read more about Brett Roy in my interview with him below.
Scott Porter: What do you feel are your greatest strengths?
Brett Roy: First off I have a great motor. I play with a high motor and never give up on a play. I bring a lot of energy to the field and am very tenacious. I think my physicality is a great strength of mine. I credit all of my success because of my ability to last longer and because of my strength. I go to the whistle on every play.
Scott Porter: What are your goals for the NFL?
Brett Roy: Initially my goal is to make a team. I want to get drafted and make a roster but even if you're drafted nothing is guaranteed. What matters is what you do on the field. My goal is to work hard and work my way into a rotation and help out on special teams. I want to work hard enough to become a starter.
Scott Porter: Is there a player in the NFL that reminds you of yourself?
Brett Roy: There are quite a few but a few that come to mind are Brian Cushing of the Houston Texans and Jared Allen of the Minnesota Vikings. Both play with high motors and have an attack style which I think I resemble. They both have a great head for the quarterback. I model my game after both of those guys.
Scott Porter: What do you feel are your greatest accomplishments?
Brett Roy: For me personally the biggest honor was being named team captain in 2011 by my teammates. Second to that was when we won the WAC Championship in 2010 after beating Boise State. I was also named first team All American in Sports Illustrated. That was humbling to me to be on a list with so many great players. It was great because everything I've worked for the last 10 years starting coming together. Being named to that team showed the public what I was capable of doing.
Scott Porter: What type of person is an NFL team getting in Brett Roy?
Brett Roy: I bring an aspect to the team of accountability. I bring great work ethic that I feel that many young guys do not have. There is a want in me that I don't think most people truly have in them. I feel what really separates me from other players is what I do away from the ball. A lot of people will take the play off if the ball is not around them, but I am always working hard to get into the play on each down. I feel I do certain things away from the ball that others may not do to help me team. A team will be getting a tenacious player who is a great leader through my actions. If I don't play up to my standard I am the first to admit it and do whatever I need to do to improve.
Scott Porter: You were invited to the NFL combine. What did that mean to you?
Brett Roy: Outside of being recognized as one of the top 300 players it was a great honor to me. It was a blessing to be selected to participate in the combine. It proved my worth to teams that I have worked hard enough to earn this. It will be a great platform to separate myself and help me answer questions about my game in front of NFL orginzations. It is truly an honor to be here. After growing up hearing and watching the combine it is amazing to know that now I will be there. It is the start to everything for me.
Scott Porter: What hobbies do you have off the field?
Brett Roy: I love the outdoors. I like to hunt and fish. I like hanging out with my friends. I have become a big movie fanatic. I have recently started reading a lot. Right now I am into reading thrillers and suspense books as well as drama. It is a great escape outside of just watching TV in my spare time and a way to connect with people outside of football.
Scott Porter: What are you looking forward to the most about your opportunity in the NFL?
Brett Roy: The opportunity to keep playing the game I love. Knowing I have an opportunity very few have. This is the game we all love. Sure there is money involved but I play to win and be the best possible player and person I can be. There is nothing better than winning as a team. I am looking forward to being part of a new family. I am looking forward from the transition from my Nevada family to my new NFL family.
Scott Porter: What do you feel is the toughest part about playing your position?
Brett Roy: The ongoing battler every play that the position requires. In the trenches you can't take a play off because you will get exploited. You're using your full body max every play. A DL doesn't take plays off like many may think. You have the biggest guys coming after you trying to block you and each and every player requires all of your physical strength. The position takes great mental aspect because the DL can't get away with anything. If you make mistakes you have to make up for it and give max effort each and every game and play. They say games are won in the trenches and I feel that is very true. The physical part that goes on in the trenches is a major outcome in winning and losing.

There's a ton of rap parodies on the geektube. Most of them are terrible. They don't make sense and the lyrics are weak. Well, that is not the case for Alex Hanly and Roboboot's video game inspired rap remix of Lana Del Rey's song, "Video Games". I'm not expert or a fan of rap, but I have to admit that Alex's rhymes are smooth and well done. Now, only if there was a good rap song about tacos and donuts.

This detailed news report looks at the ways in which Europe's determination to protect water in all its forms is achieving results. From the European quality of the drinking water, through the treatment of waste water, to protection of its rivers, coasts and lakes – over the last few decades it has developed an effective legislative arsenal. The aim of the European Union is for all the water on its territory to by in good status by 2015. Although challenges remain, results are obvious. For example, in 2000, the EU adopted a directive promoting trans-boundary co-operation and introducing the river basin management concept where the territory of the river as a whole is taken into account.

Faecal contamination from sewage makes water unpleasant and unsafe for recreational activities such as swimming, boating or fishing. Many organic pollutants, including sewage effluent and farm and food-processing wastes consume oxygen, suffocating fish and other aquatic life. Nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates, from everything from farm fertilisers to household detergents, can 'overfertilise' the water causing the growth of large mats of algae, some of which are directly toxic. When the algae die, they sink to the water bottom, decomposing, consuming oxygen and damaging ecosystems. Chemical contaminants including heavy metals, pesticides and some industrial chemicals can threaten wildlife and human health. Sediment run-off from the land can make water muddy, blocking sunlight and, as a result, killing wildlife. And irrigation, especially when used improperly, can bring flows of salts, nutrients and other pollutants from soils into water.

Evolva Holding is collaborating with cosmetics firm L'Oréal to co-develop biosynthetic production routes for an undisclosed ingredient that the firms claim has broad applications in the cosmetics industry. The two companies are going to use Evolva's fermentation technology platform to develop and optimize yeast strains for the sustainable production of the ingredient.
This collaboration will end in late 2016 but comes with an option to expand the ingredient focus. L'Oréal will pay Evolva research fees for the duration of the project, plus Evolva could also receive milestone payments for reaching research objectives.
Evolva claims its yeast and fermentation platform can produce valuable ingredients that normally industry would have a hard time accessing due to cost, sustainability, and other issues. Luc Aguilar, the global head of L'Oréal's biotechnologies department, added in a statement that the firm believes this platform "could end in new cosmetic ingredients bringing a real breakthrough for our customers."

Social Media Addiction
College students' addiction to technology is frighteningly strong! A University of Maryland study that came out last week asked 200 students to give up technology, including laptops, mp3 players, and cell phones, for 24 hours. Their feelings of withdrawal were about as severe as a person addicted to drugs or alcohol. Yikes!

Every since I found out that one of my high school Spanish teachers was a Latin lounge singer and the other, midnight-ed as a customs officer, I've been intrigued with language teachers. So intrigued in fact, that I spent several years being one myself. Along the way I met some of the most facinating storytellers and adventurers in the teaching profession.
Recently, my curiosity surrounding Total Physical Response Storytelling (Also known as Teaching Proficiency Through Reading and Storytelling) lead me straight to Sara-Elizabeth Cottrell. Ms. Cottrell is a Spanish language teacher in Kentucky, who uses storytelling, textbook-less technology and (of course) great Latin pop to inspire her students. While I'm not sure that Ms. Cottrell would have been friends with my lounge singing Spanish teacher, she doesn't fall short of being just as intriguing.
Why did you become a language teacher?
When I started teaching Spanish, it wasn't what I had originally wanted to do, which was teach ESOL. I fell in love with teaching Spanish in high school because of those moments when I saw the light bulb go on in students' brains and it seemed like they really knew there was a world of people out there they could talk to because of this new skill.
Have there been moments that you waver in wanting to be a teacher? If so how do you rally? If not, to what do you attribute this?
Sometimes the usual things get to me – lack of parent involvement, way too much work outside of work, others in the profession who refuse to change when what they're doing doesn't work, the delayed gratification of waiting for those problem students to turn a corner and become what they were meant to be. But people say if you can't do anything else, teach, and they mean it in a different way, but for me it's true–I couldn't do anything else and be happy. I intensely desire to instill a love for Spanish and the people who speak it in my students, and I have to have an outlet for that.
How long have you been practicing Total Physcial Response Storytelling (TPRS)?
About three years.
How were you involved your schools transition to TPRS? What advice would you give to teachers who would like to instigate this sort of change?
I am the only teacher at my school who knows anything about TPRS. I attended a workshop at a conference and it made so much sense based on my recent graduate school training. Teachers who want to initiate TPRS should read, try, and never give up – the audiolingual mess of the last 100 years have shown us that we are going about language teaching in all the wrong ways and it's time for drastic change that includes immersion.
What is the number one concern that parent's express about TPRS and how do you respond to it?
"Students don't understand." My response is that students aren't intended to understand everything that goes on and parents should watch assessment feedback for problems that I identify, and they are invited to come to class to see how students answer questions, showing that they really do understand, even if they don't realize it. The "problem" with language acquisition vs. learning is that students think they don't get it even when their brains do get it, because language acquisition isn't a process they're successfully able to reflect on.
How do you keep students who require much more recycling and repetition engaged while preventing advanced students from getting bored with this curriculum?
This is where I have to stress that TPRS and I part ways on some key points. TPRS theoretically hits it right on the head – language isn't learned the way math and history are learned, and so we can't teach it that way, and we have to look back to how it happened the first time. But older students are not toddlers. They won't put up with the endless repetition and limited content. I don't agree with the TPRS emphasis on translation (the way I learned it in the workshop). I don't agree with the TPRS emphasis that students have to understand everything they hear. They need to understand the pattern you're emphasizing, and what you want them to produce, and beyond that you need some freedom and they need some variation.
At the lower levels I found it important to use consistent characters in the storylines while including students. Students were required to diagram and label stories as we built them (in a composition notebook.) I followed up stories with activities involving other kinds of input and production, including large amounts of writing, personal storytelling, and projects that involved high levels of language production. It was important to vary student seating, vary student response patterns, and vary types of production. I don't think students need the constant strict formulaic questioning patterns that TPRS dictates – at middle school and higher they can tolerate much freer forms of questions, as long as we don't expect them to produce complexity. In short, I don't think TPRS expects enough.
How is what you do different at the advanced level?
I begin to abandon the fictional storytelling starting at the third year and apply TPRS methods to authentic media instead. So we "storytell" through culturally important, motivating subject matter (written and audio) that is relevant to the current unit theme, as well as through a novel through each semester. We still have fictional characters in the third year, and abandon them altogether in the fourth year. My last year with students I need to flood them with all the authentic input I can get into their brains.
What kind of help could you use from tweeters and blog readers to help you meet your personal and/or teaching goals?
[I'm seeking] Sources of authentic media at all levels.
What one piece of advice would you give a new foreign language teacher?
The first year is always difficult. Do what you have to do to make it through and keep yourself emotionally healthy – find a mentor. After that, never, ever stop learning.
You can follow Ms. Cottrell's storyline on her blog and via twitter.

Businesses tend to grow by taking their brick and mortar store online but in the case of Birchbox the successful start-up is growing through opening a traditional store in Manhattan, reports the New York Times yesterday.
The store will be in the center of SoHo's main shopping area in Manhattan occupying 4500-square-foot duplex space. The store will retain the cyber functionality of the online shopping site as customers can go to touch screen and view options of the products.
The driving force behind online beauty subscription company Birchbox is Katia Beauchamp and Hayley Barna, former classmates from Harvard Business School. Birchbox has grown globally to sell to consumers in four countries its beauty samples for the monthly subscription cost of $10 for women and $20 for men.
During the past four years Birchbox has provided for women subscribers each month in pink boxes (men in green) the samples of beauty lines. Now the brick and mortar store will go where other online to brick and mortar retailers have not gone and that is purchasing products in the store. It will be a total lifestyle experience as a customer can view products, descriptions and information on the touch screen, interact with store consultants and then make purchases.
First shoppers may fill a pink box with the samples of their choice and then they can choose to purchase from 2000 products available for purchase from some 150-250 brands. Technology through touch screen is meeting lifestyle adventure in the experience. The online experience allows upgrades based upon choice preference so this is an extension in –store of that choice model.
A study from PricewaterhouseCooper revealed the type of experience consumers are seeking. 'Convenient physical stores, a website capable of handling purchases, a mobile site or app — these capabilities are simply the price of admission for a healthy relationship with a consumer,' the report said.
Craig R. Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, a retail consulting and research firm, believes that online web stores will move toward the model started ten years ago by Apple. It builds brand experience and customer loyalty through its store and touch screen experience, interaction with Apple 'genius' and the ability to get knowledge and information on site.
'If you are a Google and you are an eBay, you are sitting there on the Internet. The Internet is emotionally a very flat experience. It can never match the experience of being there in person,' opines Johnson.
Another factor in opening a storefront is that 30% of the company's business is from purchase of full size product. Company research shows that product purchases went to Sephora store counters and other stores.
Barna and Beauchamp began the start-up while at Harvard in 2010 and wanted to create a beauty consultant experience along with that of a girlfriend's friendly input. Beauchamp was an intern at Estee Lauder and used her skills to cold-call beauty companies with the business opportunity to provide samples for their pink boxes.
So far the company has shipped nine million boxes, will open this store as its fifth and has over 800,000 customers. This store will be a laboratory to test out the lifestyle experience. There is no decision on any expansion outside of New York City area. You can find Birchbox on its website and also on an app from Apple iPhone.
'We are not focused on profitability, we are focused on hyper growth,' Beauchamp said. 'We like the idea of building a store along with the business.'

CLEVELAND — Asdrubal Cabrera would prefer that his big games at the plate come during Cleveland victories, but when the production is as bountiful as it has been this year for the Indians shortstop he's bound to look good during some of their losses, too.
Such was the case Thursday afternoon during the Indians' 7-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Cabrera kept hope alive for Tribe fans with a solo home run in the sixth inning and a triple — that needed to be reviewed to ensure that it wasn't his second homer of the game — in the eighth.
Cabrera went 2-for-3 with the two extra-base hits, a walk, a run scored and an RBI. It was the first time an Indians player had hit a triple and a home run in the same game since Andy Marte accomplished the feat on Aug. 27, 2009, in Baltimore.
"He's been fantastic since Day 1 of spring training," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "He showed up in the best shape as he has in years, and he's come up big for us on both ends, offensively and defensively."
Cabrera has always been a whiz in the field, making diving stops and great throws to second to enable improbable double plays.
But his career numbers at the plate before this season have been mediocre at best. In five big league seasons — all with the Indians — his best year was 2009, when he batted .308 with 68 RBIs and six home runs.
So far this season, Cabrera is batting .289 with 24 RBIs and six home runs. He leads the team in both the latter categories, sharing the home run lead with Grady Sizemore.
"He's been a force in our lineup," Acta said. "He's been there to pick us up many times when (Shin-Soo) Choo or (Carlos) Santana have been struggling.
"It's not often you see a guy who plays the middle infield (and bats in the No. 2 position) lead the team in both home runs and RBIs."
Indeed Cabrera has shined like the famed pearl necklace he wore early in his career. He's on pace to finish with 120 RBIs and 30 homers this season.
In typical team-player fashion, he gives the credit to the rest of the guys in the lineup.
"We have a little bit more experience on this team and everyone is really playing hard," he said. "We seem to be putting everything together now. Everyone's helping out, everyone's contributing."
The success against Rays star pitcher James Shields on Thursday was a surprise, as Shields has been nearly unhittable — he left Cleveland sporting a 4-1 record and a 2.08 ERA — and Cabrera has struggled against right-handed pitching — putting up a .255 average compared to the .327 he hits against left-handers.
But after a groundout in his first at-bat and a walk in his second plate appearance, Cabrera sent the first pitch he saw from Shields in the sixth inning 408 feet into the right-field stands.
It looked as if he had duplicated the feat two innings later, but the ball hit off the top of the wall and bounced back into the outfield. The umpires gathered to review the play, and ruled the hit a triple after a little more than a minute of deliberation.
"You really can't go out and argue that call because they reviewed it," Acta said. "From where I was in the dugout, it looked like it (was a home run), but they checked it out and said that it wasn't."
The homer extended Cabrera's hitting streak to five games, and he's hit safely in 12 of his last 15 games. He's played in all 36 games, and has reached base in 31 of them.
The consistent play in the field always helps, but the boon at the plate has been a big part of the Indians' hot start in 2011.
The boost in numbers has even taken the shortstop by surprise.
"Yeah, a little bit," Cabrera said. "But anything can happen in the game of baseball. I just want to continue to do my best and try to do everything I can to help the team."
Win or lose.

A customer wants to build an "all-in-one" CMS server, i.e. one machine that will run:
- App server
- web server
- File storage
The CMS is expected to be used for a lot of large files, but will not have a large amount of concurrent users (10 requests per second at most). High availability is not a major concern.
So what would be the best RAID config to support this? I'm thinking that RAID 0 would be best to deal with the large files, probably RAID 1+0 to reduce the chance of outages. Is RAID 5 a viable option? Or perhaps forego RAID completely?

agreement reached between the UAW and General Motors, those on the Bowling Green picket line are prepared for the long haul.
But some say their problems can't be completely solved by a negotiation between GM and UAW. It's an issue that has to be settled on a state and national level.
"The reality is that most American companies are not very competitive with overseas manufacturers right now and that's not due to our inability to compete. It's due to the fact that we're competing against low wage countries," explained David Peters, community services chair.
It's a concern that's driving a nationwide strike. Will the pay and benefits drastically decline for American auto workers to keep up with international markets?
"We want to maintain our standard of living--we want to grow and we want to be a great country. We don't want to be included in countries like Mexico, China and India where people live in squalor," said Eldon Renaud, local UAW president.
But right now, General Motors' goal is getting plants back up, the employees back in and the product out the door.
"The main concern right now is that we're in the middle of very sensitive negotiations with UAW and it's very important that we stay focused on that," explained Tom Wickham, General Motors spokesman.
But while those negotiations continue, some on the picket line say this is an issue that goes far beyond a resolution between GM and UAW.
"We have a gubernatorial election coming up, so we've got to look at who's working in our best interest," Renaud said.
"We can only change things around the fringes, but it's in November of this year in Frankfort and in November of next year in Washington that real change will be possible for the American worker," Peters added.
Renaud said the wages he's witnessed overseas are in the range of a dollar to two-dollars an hour. He added that while the strike can't fix that larger problem, he hopes it brings it to the attention of the American consumer.

The heaviest rain has pushed out of the metro this morning, and we'll see a chance for scattered showers the rest of the afternoon. It's going to be cloudy and windy with highs only in the low to mid 60s. Temperatures will start to drop in the afternoon, so much colder air is getting ready to settle in.
For Operation Football tonight, it's going to be damp, drizzly, windy, and cool. Temperatures will be in the low to mid 50s.
Saturday highs will only reach the upper 40s to around 50 degrees after an overnight low in the low to mid 40s. Pockets of scattered showers are still expected as this system finally pushes out.
Sunday, we warm up into the mid to upper 50s with partly cloudy skies, but we're already watching for our next round of rain Monday.

Once you have completed a Preliminary Self-Assessment and decided that you are ready to prepare a proposal, you will need to identify potential funding sources. The funding sources you choose will depend on your experience, the financial scope of your proposed project, the type of project you propose, and your subject area. Select potential sponsors whose needs and priority interests match your project goals.
Grants, contracts and cooperative agreements are available from a variety of sponsors, including government agencies, private and corporate foundations, and industrial programs.
SPA will assist in your search for appropriate funding sources and will try to keep you informed of recent developments in the funding environment. We also encourage you to conduct your own search for funding opportunities. Because you are more familiar with your research or program goals, you may find opportunities that SPA staff--whose knowledge of your work is often limited to a few key words--may not recognize as being relevant to your research.
Please notify SPA when you have identified the sponsors to whom you plan to submit proposals. Occasionally, sponsors have restrictions on the number of proposals they will consider from one institution and it is important to make sure that they are not already considering a proposal from Drake University. In addition, the University may have established agreements with some local and national private foundations, agreements that disallow Drake faculty from submitting independent proposals to these foundations.

Judging Former Judges Who Call Themselves Judge, Part III
It was a question that perplexed the first Law Blog writer, Peter Lattman: To what degree is it proper for judges, after they've stepped down from the bench, to continue going by honorifics such as "The Honorable" or "Judge"?
Peter first asked about it in 2006 in regard to Herb Stern, former lawyer for Joe Nacchio, who still went by "Judge" some 20 years after leaving the federal bench. Later that year, he reprised the issue in regard to John Martin, a former federal judge who stepped down from the bench in 2003 to practice law at Debevoise.
We thought we'd dust off the issue once again on Friday in light of an interesting WSJ opinion piece written by Leah Ward Sears, the former chief justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia, who left the bench last year to enter private practice, at Schiff Hardin in Atlanta.
Writes Sears:
I recently stepped down from the Supreme Court after 17 years to re-enter private practice, and many people are confused about how to address me. To be honest, I'm very fond of my first name. And perhaps if everything was right in the world, calling me Leah would be just fine. But I tend to ask people to call me Chief Justice Sears or Justice Sears because it's the same courtesy they automatically afford a retired male jurist, particularly down South. For instance, it was always "Judge Bell," even long after the U.S. attorney and former judge retired, never "Griffin." When I retired many people were suddenly confused. Why?
LBers, what do you think? The issue is complicated by the fact that Sears is a highly successful African-American woman who, as she writes, has endured throughout the course of her career countless episodes of racism (either intended or not). She seems to relish reminding people who mistake her, say, for a bathroom attendant, that she is actually Justice Leah Ward Sears.
The questions: First, is the practice of calling oneself "Judge" or "Justice" after stepping down from the bench unseemly? Second, is it different in regard for Sears?

A Warren Moon scam making headlines today involves a whopping $200,000 investment that the NFL Hall of Fame quarterback shelled out in the belief that he was purchasing an opportunity to own part of the NBA team Miami Heat.
On Jan. 25, 2014, Sporting News reported that Warren Moon's agent transferred the money via wire transfer to a Southern California bank per the instructions of someone named George French Jones.
In exchange for the $200,000, Warren Moon would receive for floor seats to Miami Heat home games, which were to be considered an opening for him to purchase a 5% stake in the Heat.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, "Warren Moon is a former football player and sports broadcaster with an estimated net worth of $10 million dollars." Yet, Sporting News reported, "Forbes magazine recently estimated the value of the Heat franchise at $770 million; 5 percent would be $38.5 million."
Unfortunately for Warren Moon, the scam left him without the money, without the tickets and without the opportunity to buy into the Miami Heat. Although Warren Moon's company is reportedly suing the man allegedly responsible for the scam, Jones has disappeared, according to documents obtained by KTTV.

Britney Spears and Rihanna's careers have diverged since "S&M" tied the two together, but their latest videos, "We Found Love" and "Criminal," are awfully similar. Both songs are middling–Spears' "Criminal" is a trifle, neither as immediate as her other singles nor as sonically inventive as Femme Fatale's album tracks, and "We Found Love" is a lot of empty noise by Calvin Harris with emptier lyrics that doesn't bounce enough to distract you from Rihanna's foregoing time to grow between albums. Their videos debuted only a few days apart. Both were filmed in or near the U.K., upsetting politicians and farmers therein. Both are racy; both contain one or both of violence and crime. Both feature bad boys and their bad schemes. Both unabashedly evoke the artists' personal lives, and both are the more effective for it.
Spears' video is the subtler of the two. After her increasingly blank press appearances, and the tendency among writers and spectators to call her every smile plastered on or conservator-mandated, it's hard not to hear the video's first line, "Would you try smiling just once," as a subtle dig at the press. That the line's delivered by Spears' twit of a date, who spends his time in the video either being abusive, being a cad or trying to bro-bond with the partygoer guys over the former two, only makes it sting more. When "Criminal" becomes genuinely uncomfortable to watch as Spears is dragged from abuse scene to abuse scene, enter real-life beau Jason Trawick playing the titular criminal and punching the dude out of the video. There are two ways to view what transpires next, each contradicting the other. You could say Trawick lures Spears into his lurid life, the burly guy to her girly self who "saves" her only insofar as he swaps ballrooms for bullets and a slightly different kind of bastard. But then again, she's the one who kisses him first (he only makes overtures), and she's the first to pull a gun. The song won't help you choose an interpretation–"I'm in love with a criminal" tells you only that, and the music's too static to evoke much of anything. How you see "Criminal" depends on how you see Spears' personal and love life, and more importantly, how active a role you imagine–or want to imagine–she plays in it.
The same question is asked in Rihanna's "We Found Love," mostly of her own doing. There's model/love interest Dudley O'Shaughnessy, handpicked by Rihanna. There are two explanations: if you believe unsourced rumors, it's so they could furtively date (apparently model dudes, crop tops and fields combine in only one way), but if you believe the video, it's because he looks like Chris Brown when his hair's dyed Sisqo blond. The resemblance is provocative, as is the voice-over: "It's like screaming, but no one can hear. You almost feel ashamed that someone could be that important, that without them, you feel like nothing. No one will ever understand how much it hurts. You feel hopeless, like nothing can save you. And when it's over, when it's gone, you almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back so you could have the good." What follows is a whir of scenes: Requiem for a Dream pill showers, dilating eyeballs and camera reeling, fireworks and fire and mushroom clouds, makeouts in cheap restaurants and pharmacies and apartments shot to look so dingy and uninviting the only attraction to be found would have to come from a partner. Eventually, it turns darker, with scenes of Rihanna sinking into a bathtub like she's in Spears' "Everytime," her partner kissing her with the same rhythm of knife jabs and–the most disturbing part thanks to Rihanna's personal history–a fight in a car. It makes "We Found Love," the most celebratory of Rihanna's singles in a while, sound too celebratory; "we found love in a hopeless place" doesn't sound like a triumph but a consolation. The video, improbably, makes empty words like "yellow diamonds in the light" and "love and life I will divide" sound meaningful, but it wouldn't have happened had Rihanna's personal life not been a decoder.
Spears and Rihanna aren't alone in drawing from their personal lives for music videos. It's a trope as old as iconic videos; just this single cycle, Kelly Clarkson rips through a wall of bad press and pooh-poohs the pop blogs in "Mr. Know It All," Beyonce's baby-to-be is the star meme of "Countdown," and Lady Gaga mythologized her fling with serial Nebraska partier Luc Carl into a cornhusk-and-mermaid fairy tale. They're different, though–the tension is missing. Clarkson's bad press and leaks might have hurt her, but in interviews, she comes off as completely resilient. Beyonce's marriage to Jay-Z, from all outward appearances, is the most solid in music. And of all the things Lady Gaga can be accused of, passivity is probably the last. Watching their videos with their personal lives in mind might make you more interested, but it won't make you uncomfortable.
The same can't be said for Spears or Rihanna. The former's romantic history might as well be studded with asterisks to point out iffy partners and bad decisions, and the latter's history with Brown is continually rehashed both by Brown's music–even tracks like "Look At Me Now" seem as implicit in their response as direct apologies like "Changed Man"–and by the muted-to-flaring disapproval whenever Rihanna mentions sex or acknowledges Brown on Twitter. It doesn't matter whether Spears or Rihanna have themselves moved on, because the discussion around them hasn't. Anything Spears releases is automatically filtered through how much say she has in it; every other Rihanna song gets pulled into the Chris Brown storyline.
This remaining tension is what makes "Criminal" and "We Found Love" so effective. The intimate scenes almost seem too intimate, but it's not because of how much skin is shown or where the camera lingers. Casting love interests who either resemble their partners or are them adds almost voyeuristic context; when the affairs turn seedy, those parallels only become more pronounced. You're already watching for personal allusions just by dint of Spears and Rihanna performing; what makes these videos work is how they acknowledge this and wring the drama out themselves, on their own terms. Neither artist, nor their representatives, has said much about the parallels; Spears' commentary on the video is as terse and usual, and Rihanna and "We Found Love" director Melina Matsoukas have mostly talked around any Brown comparisons. They don't have to; their videos are more effective statements than anything they could reveal in an interview. Instead of ignoring the rumors viewers will bring to their videos, they redirect them, filling out the story and making initially unpromising singles the most compelling things either artist has released in months.

Functional imaging studies consistently support the role of the medial prefrontal cortex to be a part of a functional network of reflective self-awareness. The current study introduces a new linguistic task which (1) directly compares self-reference and other-reference, and (2) separates pre-reflective from reflective aspects of self-awareness. Twenty-six healthy volunteers evaluated trait adjectives in reference to the self or a close friend while a continuous 30-channel EEG was recorded. Low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (LORETA) was used for statistical brain imaging. As expected, the direct comparison of self-reference to other-reference revealed the MPFC to be significant and strongly more active during the self-reference condition. Pre-reflective aspects of self seem to be implemented to a greater degree in the ventral, reflective aspects of the self in dorsal parts of the MPFC. In the pre-reflective self condition, brain areas that receive homeostatic afferents from somatic and visceral sensation of the body such as the insula and the somatosensory cortex were strongly activated as early as 134 ms after stimulus onset. The right inferior parietal lobe seems to be involved in self-referential processing in general.

My book on differential equations says that $x_{0}$ is a regular singular point of the differential equation $P(x)y'' + Q(x)y' + R(x)y = 0$ if $(x - x_{0})\frac{Q}{P}$ and $(x - x_{0})^{2}\frac{R}{P}$ have convergent Taylor series about $x_{0}$. This criteria seems tedious to check because it means I have to expand $\frac{Q}{P}$ and $\frac{R}{P}$ as Taylor series, etc. Is there an easier way to check if a point is regular singular?

Chances are that you, or someone you know, has been bitten by the bug that can only be called "Twilight Fever." Whether you are Team Edward, Team Jacob, or Team Eye Roll, you know that tomorrow is a big day for the teen-targeted vampire love saga. "New Moon," the second installment in the series, is released to dvd tomorrow, and fans are going to be hitting stores at 12:01 tonight to secure their copy. After all, the only thing more fantastic than the unfurling love triangle between a human, a vampire, and a werewolf--are the diehard fans of the series.
So, in honor of this big event, why not vamp it up this weekend before you go out and get flirty? Certainly, get your copy of "New Moon," and watch it during the day tomorrow. Get your fill of Edwards smokiness and Jacob's shirtlessness, and then tomorrow night--vamp it up! Here's how to do it without actually biting anyone.
The quickest and easiest trick you can do is get some blood red lips. If you want to go out and get a guy to look somewhere besides your chest, this will certainly accomplish that feat! In staying with true Twilight tradition, hit up Sephora in Jordan Creek mall, and grab some of the limited edition Twilight Lip Venom. It actually looks like blood, but beware--its a stain, so your lips will be red for hours! The venom (made by DuWop) has cinnamon in it also, so it will actually give your lips that "just bitten" look. Perfect to put on before heading out to West Glen!
If you are feeling a little bit more bold, then put on a sassy outfit--and add some fishnet hose! Your best bet is to check out either Von Maur or Victoria's Secret for some great tights selections--plus with the possible snow in the forecast, you don't want to have bare legs! You can either rock traditional style, or some funkier fishnets, but either way, you'll be getting some attention. Pair them with some fun colored heels, and you will definitely be at the top of your flirty game.
You could probably add a leather choker or something if you are feeling REALLY wild and crazy, but don't get carried away! The difference between flirty and scary is subtle, but distinct. Think about a little more Alice, and a little less Laurent! Have a great weekend!
