Thank you for the blog post, it is relevant to my career because when looking at the one and a half years left i have left to go before i go into the classroom it is great to see materials and resources tat will help me in the long run.
Thank you for the resources.
Please allow me to add http://www.gynzy.com to the list.
It is definitely worth a try. It is web based so it works on all interactive whiteboards and you don't need training to get the most out of this because it is truly easy to use.
These are some great resources! The TeacherVision link has especially helpful information and advice on all sorts of topics.
If any of you would like to know about some great curriculum used by Walnut Montessori-Preschool Academy, you can check it out on this blog: http://www.walnutmontessori-preschool.com/walnutmontessori/Public/Blog.a...
A good collection of resources. Thank you.
When I began my career a long time ago I found The First Six Weeks Of School by Roxann Kriete and Teaching Children To Care by Ruth Charney to be powerful resources. I still revisit them every summer as I prepare for a new school year.
You hit a significant chord when you wrote of revisiting resources each year. Beginning teachers have unique needs and concerns, yes. But it is vital for experienced teachers to revisit and refresh each summer to maintain the necessary passion and relevancy to be an effective educator.
I have been teaching for 17 years and found your resource useful as well. In particular, I shared "New Teacher Chat" and Edutopia's New Teacher Resources with the teachers at my school here, http://tech4teaching.blogspot.com/2015/08/dear-first-year-middle-school-....
I invite everyone to visit a website I created for teachers on what I call Teacher ESP - Effectiveness and Stress Prevention.
I was a classroom teacher (health education) for 33 years, and certainly had my own struggles, especially when I first started. Being a health education teacher, I also was tasked with helping my kids prevent or deal with all those mental health, health, social and behavioral issues and problems kids so often struggle with. One day I was ranting to a counselor friend and he said "Look Ray, it's your choice how you want to feel". When I calmed down, he told me about Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) and Education (REBE), the work of the late Dr. Albert Ellis. I took classes in REBT/REBE offered in the Chicago area for teachers, all of them, and became certified in REBE. Changed my life and the way I taught health education, which I hope also changed many of my students lives. Teacher ESP is based on what I call "The Mental and Emotional Tool Kit for Life", which in turn is based on REBT/REBE.
I believe we should teach these "tools" to all new and current teachers. I speak to teachers, including student teachers on a regular basis about these "tools". I also advocate teaching them to all students. Learning them help me personally and professionally, and teaching them to kids made my job easier and more rewarding, especially when I volunteered to take on the toughest, most troublesome kids at my wife's school after I retired from the classroom.
An important thing to always remember is that people have to be in the right mental and emotional place to make the best choices for themselves and others. Too often people aren't, including teachers. We can give them effective strategies for classroom management, but they have to be able to get in the best mental and emotional place to access and act on what we give them. Too many struggle to get there. The "tools" help them do so. BTW, Dr. Robert Marzano calls this "emotional objectivity", and the key to it is mindset.
Likewise, kids also have to be in the right mental and emotional place to be ready, willing and able to learn and be taught. Too many struggle to get there. We've never done enough to help those who do. Teaching these "tools" to teachers, and then having them teach them to students would do that. They can give kids (and teachers) the Mental and Emotional Fitness to function at levels they are capable of, and that we and they want to.
These "tools" can also act like a form of Mental and Emotional Karate, and therefore be a wonderful approach to the problem of bullying.
BTW, the link for the Mental and Emotional Tool Kit for Life is:
And if you want suggestions about how to better deal with the most troublesome and troubled students you have, here's a link about the "Tool Time" approach I took with those students at my wife's school.
Behavioral management is what young teachers often get taught, but it's important that we see behavior at merely the tip of the iceberg. It's also a symptom of thoughts and feelings kids need help with, rather than just some problem to be eliminated. Too often, simply taking a behavioral management approach to behavior we don't like in classrooms and schools not only doesn't make things better, but even makes matters worse, because of the way our actions interact with the thoughts and feelings a student already has. It's why we end up with a school to prison pipeline. If behavioral management worked well, we wouldn't have that.
Here's an engaging video resource we just created that covers core math concepts through song and dance. My hope is that you'll be positively impressed by the enthusiastic response the students have to these songs...
The resources that you provided are great! Thank you of sharing them. One of the most important factors as teachers is to have the resources available to teach children. So working with others is a great way to obtain resources. Great job Matt!

This crazy season of "Survivor: Cagayan" has trained us to expect the unexpected. On Wednesday night's episode, our six remaining contestants would be whittled down to five, but who was being sent to the jury and how they'd be sent there would have been anybody's guess. There were a lot of smoke and mirrors during tonight's episode, but even with a somewhat predictable outcome in the end, it was another exciting journey through mostly unpredictable territory. Here's the recap of tonight's ep:
Don Vlachos. The players return from yet another blindside at Tribal Council. "The pattern continues," Spencer says. Kass - to be expected - was pretty pissed off that Tony kept her in the dark for a second time in voting out Jefra, calling him the "Mafia King." Trish on the other hand, seems to understand Tony's move and once again lays low...a smart strategy that has gotten her this far. Tony respects Trish for understanding him and is happy that he doesn't have to explain himself all that much to her. But Kass is stewing. "I don't like to be the one slack-jawed at Tribal Council," she said. "And now that's happened to me twice." Kass doesn't back down from Tony and the two get into an argument where Kass accuses him of being condescending. "Right now you're acting like a jerk," she tells him. To the camera she says about Tony, "Play your game and I'll play my game. I'm done with him."
Cult of Personality. The next morning - Day 31 - Spencer admits to the camera that he actually really likes Tony, but the more he talks to him the more he understands just how dangerous he is in the game. As Tony, Spencer and Woo talk around the morning campfire, Kass sleeps in a bit longer, but overhears Tony talking about her. It's unclear if he actually was, but Kass takes exception to this and says that she overheard Tony calling her a bitch and threatening to get her out of the game. "Apparently, he's getting more stupid every day," Kass tells the girls. Tony denies talking about her and tries to apologize, but Kass doesn't want to hear it. Spencer actually thinks that Tony is telling the truth, but he purposely stays quiet. Hey, any controversy that doesn't involve him being targeted is a good thing as far as he's concerned. Tony tells us that despite their differences, he plans on taking Kass with him to the end. Kass may have other ideas, referring to Tony as a cult leader. "I want to kill the cult leader." Yep, that's pretty clear.
Round Two. After blowing off some steam, Tony decides he wants to confront Kass to again apologize and clear the air. But he is met with resistance once again from a Kass who doesn't want to hear it. You've got to give it to Kass, as she was not backing down from Tony and she was forcing him to lose his cool and his composure, which is never a good thing in the game. Kass threatens to vote for Tony and tells him he better play his Idol. "Don't tell me how to play," Tony responded. "You write my name down, you're going home." Visibly perturbed, Tony then confesses to the others a big secret: That he does in fact have the "Special Idol." In other words, don't mess with him. "You'll be the first to see it," Tony tells Kass.
Reward Challenge. The challenge broke the contestants into two teams of three, where they had to throw sandbags to knock down a wall of blocks. Once down, one member from each team would have to build the wall puzzle back up. The two re-builders were Tasha and Spencer and although Tasha had a huge early lead, Spencer - with the help of Kass - came from behind to win the challenge and the reward for himself, Kass and Woo. The reward? They would be flown to a nearby elementary school to bring aid to the children there, as Survivor Ambassadors. They would also, of course, be treated to a feast.
The Reward. Always delightful and inspiring, the three Survivors were welcomed with open arms by the children. Woo was completely in his element, entertaining the children with a display of his martial arts and basketball skills. Kass took notice, commenting that she liked Woo a lot more after seeing him open up and interact with the kids. Even Spencer, who admittedly doesn't like kids all that much, called it a "positive experience." But like most rewards, things eventually led them to talk a bit of strategy.
Wooing Woo. Kass and Spencer - now combined against a common enemy in Tony - try to sway Woo to flipping on him, pitching it to him as if this is the perfect time to strike against Tony. Woo has been Tony's numero uno ally the entire game to this point, but he seems to consider their offer. Back at the beach a few hours later, it seems that he had time to think things through...and whoa!...he tells Kass that he's in on trying to blindside Tony, or at least try to flush his Idol. Trish mentions to Tony that she wonders if Woo has been flipped and Tony calls him over to find out what was discussed at the reward. Woo lies to Tony, telling him that Spencer talked about voting out Tasha. Since this makes no sense, Tony begins to seriously doubt Woo's loyalties. But to us viewers, Woo's lie tells us that he is actually serious about trying to go against Tony.
Immunity Challenge. Several groups of items were set up and the contestants had to count the total number of items in each group. Each number would then be entered to form a combination. If you counted all of the items correctly, it would unlock the combination and give you the Immunity win. But the items were a good run away, so every time you entered the wrong number, you would have to run back and forth. It doesn't seem all that difficult, but the players have now been out there for over a month and the weather during this challenge didn't look all that inviting. Probst informed Tasha that if she were to win, she would tie the Survivor record for four consecutive Immunity Challenge wins, set all the way back in Season 1 by Kelly Wigglesworth. But Tasha ended up being off by just one on one of her groups, and it was Spencer who won Immunity in the end, making Tasha vulnerable for the first time in a long time.
Ensuing Chaos. Tasha was extremely bummed to have lost the challenge, but with Woo and Kass on board there was still hope. The plan was for Tasha and Kass to vote for Trish, and to have Spencer and Woo vote for Tony. This would create a tie, so if Tony played his Idol, Trish would go home and the Idol would be flushed. If he didn't play his Idol, Tony would go home. Of course, nobody knows that Tony actually has two Idols. Tasha needed to act as if she was going home, but Tony - with his incredible ability to sniff out BS - notices that Tasha is acting different and he assumes that something is up.
A Change of Plans? Amidst scrambling, Tasha tells Kass that Tony is "like our version of Russell Hantz," and this seems to ignite Kass's brain into action. About Tony, Kass says: "Is he our Russell, who maybe makes it to the end and thinks he's God's gift, and everybody's like, you're a total douche bag?" She begins wondering if Tony might actually be better to go to the end with, since he too has made a plethora of enemies in the game. Kass then pulls Woo aside, and considers actually voting out Tasha after all, instead of Tony. Woo is confused, but Kass tells him, "We're in the same boat right now." She hopes that her next move doesn't spring a leak.
Tribal Council. Tasha feels like she is the target now that she doesn't have the comfort of the Immunity Necklace. Tony explains how he picked up on Tasha acting different than normal. Spencer thinks that Tony's "Bag of Tricks" may finally make an appearance and come to use. Kass shockingly admits to Jeff that she expects there to be a blindside.
The Vote. Spencer votes for Tony and although Woo's vote is not revealed, we hear him apologize to the person while casting it. Tony chose not to play either of his Idols and then the votes were read: Tasha - Tony - Trish - Tasha - and then Tasha - Tasha. Yes, sadly, Tasha was voted out in a 4-1-1 vote. Obviously Woo and Kass decided to stick with Tony and Trish. And it looks like Spencer is yet again on the outside looking in.
Analysis. For thoughts on tonight's episode, please check out my full analysis of Episode 12. You can also watch Tasha's arrival at Ponderosa here.
Next Time On..."Chaos Kass" is back. But she may have finally met her match when Trish seems to go off on her. It's the last episode of the season before the two-hour Season Finale on May 21. Mark your calendars!

I'm trying to enlarge the area allowed for the header image. Currently it is set to 1140 x 100. I'd like to allow any height and not have it auto-crop. Any help would be appreciated.January 23, 2013 at 3:46 pm #14157
Change the height values in functions.php (Line 17) and style.css (Line 193).
/** Add support for custom header */ add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array( 'width' => 1140, 'height' => 100 ) );
#header { margin: 0 auto; min-height: 100px; width: 100%; }
January 23, 2013 at 4:08 pm #14163
Thank you Brad, worked like a dream. Is there any way to let it not crop? If I have images that are too short, it blows them up and then crops. Some are give or take 30 pixels either direction.January 23, 2013 at 4:37 pm #14171
You might want to layer them on a background using a tool like Paint.net or GIMP if you don't use Photoshop.
If they're the exact same size as your settings, they should be displayed as is.
April 17, 2013 at 5:16 am #35915
Brad, I'm having the same problem.
I have the settings in my CSS and functions.php, exactly as you've shown them. My header image is exactly 1140 X 100. I can see it in the media library, but it won't display on the pages.
If I use a smaller-sized image (all I really want is a logo 172 x 50) it gets blown up to an enormous size and I'm forced to crop it. What happended to the skip cropping option?
Any help will be most appreciated.
The site is http://www.innov8.net.au
Header text is still showing, but a header image is set.April 17, 2013 at 5:43 am #35919
I just layed a logo 172 x 50 on 1140 X 100 background using Paint.net and it worked perfectly.
Use a white or transparent background.
April 17, 2013 at 5:59 am #35920
Brad, thanks for the quick response!
I am using a transparent background.
Here is the image: http://web.innov8.net.au:8080/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/header-logo.png
Oh, I just tried displaying it in a browser and I get an internal server error. It looks like this might be an IIS issue.April 17, 2013 at 3:36 pm #36009
It should work. Check your settings under Appearance > Header and if the dimensions match your image, upload it.
April 17, 2013 at 4:16 pm #36014
It's working now. It was a file permission error.

She Paints Prime Time TV: Art Featured on the Walls of Southfork Ranch for 2nd Season Finale of "Dallas" Monday, April 15
Back in the late 1980s Santa Monica artist Willow Lynne Evans supplied the paintings that hung on the walls of Southfork Ranch on "Dallas" and the home at the "Falcon Crest" winery among other TV series.
This Monday night three of her artworks will again grace the walls in the Season Finale of "Dallas," 9 p.m. (8 p.m. Central) on TNT.
"They shipped them all down to Texas for the taping, including a couple of pieces that star of the show Patrick Duffy now has hanging in his house," said Ms. Evans.
Her story in her words follows with links to her artwork:
There are four generations of artists on both sides of my family, which include painters, sculptors, dancers, actors and a poet.
I was offered my first art show at Hama Sushi in Venice when a friend brought a painting of mine that she liked to the owner. I was given two weeks to fill the restaurant with 14 paintings. It was an explosion of creativity.
I was working as a waitress at the time at the Sagebrush Cantina in Culver City. It was a couple of blocks from Lorimar Studios, which is now Sony Studios. It was a fun, light atmosphere with actors, crew and set decorators that came in for lunch.
I made a 4x6 portfolio of pictures of the paintings from the Hama Sushi show, which I carried in my waitress apron and showed around.
The set decorator from the internationally televised weekly series "Dallas" Chuck Rutherford sparked a working relationship with me when he put ten of my paintings on the show and launched my painting career.
From there Actor Patrick Duffy became a collector of my work and Jason Bateman collected nine paintings for his home. I was also asked to paint for "Falcon Crest" who collected 12 canvases in styles that included Deco, Impressionist, Abstract and Native American/Southwestern. Being able to paint in multiple styles has always been an asset for me.
I also painted for one season of "Aaron's Way." There was an artist in the show so they wanted to buy everything including my easel, which I couldn't part with. I had truck drivers waiting while I blew dry paintings so they could take them to the set.
I had to quit my waitressing job because I didn't have time to work both jobs.
Dallas returns on TNT. It's like going home painting for the show again.
Patrick Duffy found me on Face book and reconnected with me because he had been given the painting titled "Following" when the first Dallas series ended. He had it and another painting of mine that had hung on his wall for twenty years. He wanted the painting from the old show to hang in his office on the new show to tie the two together and they needed to find me to sign off on it.
Through the re-connection I met the great TNT Dallas production designer Richard Berg and connected with their talented set decorator A. Michelle Young. I have now painted two new modern paintings for the show that makes it three painting that can be seen on Dallas Season Two Finale on Monday night.

The Raging Battle
In His Presence: Psalms 37:4
"I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please"(Galatians 5:16-17).
The very Spirit of God has taken up residence in our lives if we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior. God wants to express His mind, His thoughts, His desires, and His will through our mortal bodies. But for us to see this happen, we need to be under the Holy Spirit's control. While this is taking place, we are going to experience conflict within ourselves. This is one way we can know we are Christians. If we have no battles raging within, we are probably not saved. There is no opposition within us. God says the flesh and the Spirit are total opposites; they are not going to get along with each other at all.
How do we know the difference between the flesh and the Holy Spirit within us? The Spirit will want to please God, and the flesh will want to please ourselves. That's why the war going on inside of us is good, not bad. Most of us feel guilty about having such a battle. Of course, we may not like the feeling, but the two laws operating in our bodies should give us occasion to praise God.
One Minute Please
If a battle is being waged within you, that's a good thing because it indicates that the Spirit is active.

Football coach Steve Spurrier welcomed the return of the speedy, 5-foot-9 receiver to the practice field, two weeks after Ellington declared he would concentrate solely on basketball.
"He realizes he's pretty good at football and wants to play both," Spurrier said.
Ellington, a former state championship quarterback, joined the football team after his freshman season playing basketball. He said then that he missed football and thought he could handle the load of both sports the way he did in high school.
Ellington did not disappoint in either sport. He finished with 707 all-purpose yards and made the Southeastern Conference all-freshman team in South Carolina's 11-2 season.
A few days later, Ellington was back on the basketball court where after a slow start he became South Carolina's second-leading scorer with 11 points per game.
Ellington announced just before the start of spring ball that he was done with football because he thought his future was in basketball. The next day, basketball coach Darrin Horn was let go.
Spurrier counseled his player to take a few more days and make sure he knew what he wanted to do.
"He thought it over and thought he made a little too quick a decision," Spurrier said.
Ellington was not made available to talk to the media.

"Moral" values?
By Raymond Freeman 05/01/2014
Moral values are not piffling niceties for tweedy academics. The right's values have cost this nation trillions of dollars in red ink.
Around $5 trillion will be added to national debt from the Iraq fiasco (Joseph Stiglitz, economist, Nobel Prize). That's colossal: WWII cost around $4.5 trillion in today's money (wikianswers). About $5 trillion will be added from cleaning up their mess from the Great Crash of 2008 (Stiglitz). And we've seen how Republican-driven legislation fueled Wall Street's greed, which produced the Great Crash (Sharper Focus, "Shocked, Shocked").
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, is named after Ayn Rand, a moral vacuum. Recalling his lying to fellow students prior to exams, he said, "I would sometimes spread misinformation. This is a great tactic." So lying to get ahead is just fine, especially for presidential elections, as John Kerry found out when he was "swift-boated."
Conservatives' greed is responsible for putting the greatest stain on America's soul. The colonial occupation of Iraq killed and maimed at least 500,000 and made refugees of millions. Pope John Paul II condemned the invasion as "immoral." Vincent Bugliosi examined how conservatives sold the war (and sold their souls to the devil) in The Prosecution of George Bush for Murder. Don't read it. You'll vomit. He chronicled horrendous values such as lying, greed, bullying, sliming, revenge, abuse of power and disregard for human life.
Bush told Katie Couric on CBS, "… One of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror." No wonder. Bush eventually admitted that al-Qaida wasn't linked to Iraq or Iraq to 9/11. So why did we invade? "The Iraq war is largely about oil," said Alan Greenspan. Chuck Hagel agreed: "We didn't go into Iraq for the figs."
Bigotry is another value. Conservatives hate gays even though Christ never condemned them. Pope Francis asked, "Who am I to judge?" Sarah Palin smeared him as "kind of liberal." The Duck Dynasty supremo blasted away at gays, pandering to millions of viewers. Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson laughs all the way to the bank.
Contempt for truth is rampant. For example, Palin's adamant: "Go back to what our Founders and our founding documents meant — they're quite clear — that we would create law based on the God of the Bible and the Ten Commandments." She knows this David Barton pseudo-history is entirely false. (Even his conservative publisher squawked.) "The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion," said John Adams, founder, president, 1797).
Another value is willful ignorance, as Palin certainly demonstrates: "Global warming, my gluteus maximus." But she must know that oil pipelines are sinking into Alaska's permafrost. It's melting. People once kept quiet about their ignorance of science. They now flaunt it. I believe this willful ignorance stems from laziness and lack of moral fiber.
Utter selfishness is a core value. Mitt Romney destroyed the American Dream to make his fortune. Millions of jobs have been sent overseas for profit. Republicans pressed for China to be admitted to the World Trade Organization for this very purpose. Paul Ryan's proposed budget in 2008 was utterly selfish. Even the revolting Newt Gingrich opposed it.
There's no outrage against these revolting values. Instead, we get hypocrisy and corruption.
Hypocrisy was the human weakness most despised by Christ. Today, millions of Americans are ruined. So our fine conservative Christians fight for Christian charity for them, right? Certainly not. "Republicans fought for huge tax breaks for the wealthiest people in this country. Hundreds and hundreds of billions in tax breaks for the top 1 percent and 2 percent," said Sen. Bernie Sanders, Ind.,-Vermont. Republicans don't give a damn about the plebs.
Former Republican Governor of Virginia, Bob McDonnell, has been indicted on 14 corruption charges (though he's innocent until proven guilty, of course). Republican Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, may have used his power to exact revenge and to use Hurricane Sandy funds for extortion. He was shocked, shocked (like Capt. Renault in Casablanca) to find that his staff closed the world's busiest bridge for a "traffic study" that nobody's seen and never will. Christie's not been formally charged (and may be innocent) but he went a bridge too far, politically. Neither he nor McDonnell is now a viable presidential candidate. Voters eventually draw the line on conservatives' revolting values.
I've met a surprising number of decent (though misguided) Republicans. But I have advice for the rest. Consider this from Queen Elizabeth's 2013 Christmas Day Message: "For Christians, as for all people of faith, reflection, meditation and prayer help us to renew ourselves in God's love, as we strive daily to become better people." Pope Francis said basically the same on Palm Sunday this year.
Conservatives, please reflect, and become better people by dropping your revolting "values."

I would truly love to sit down with Freeman and try to understand why he writes this stuff. It's an unusual mix of adolescent rants with a bit of real history thrown in for effect. The bottom line is that the old guy is hateful. Read this stuff and come away with the feeling old Ray is touched. Too much hate, all the time from old Ray.
There may be some truths to this article but that's what makes it the most dangerous. I certainly can spot some blaring statements of painful ignorance .
1. Bush believes the Death Penalty should exist not because he has no concern for human life but because he believes he is protecting it from those who don't.
2. Rand Paul believed "lying" to his students to be a legit tactic because when you do that it causes your students to think. My Dad used to teach me Math that way. Rand Paul's teaching methods apply only in the context of teaching not politics.
3. Conservatives hate gays? That's a Hasty Generalization. Some Conservatives hate Homosexuality. Not the people themselves.
4. Jesus never condemned anyone. However after he saved the adulterer by saying "Those without sin cast the first stone..." He then told her. "Go and Sin no more." That IS a judgement dealt with gracefully.
4.5. The Bible is the entire word of God, not just the "words in red". The 1st Commandment is to love God. The 1st chapter in John says "the Word was God", and the word of God says in multiple parts that Homosexuality is a Sin. Conservatives who believe in the Christian Bible believe the WHOLE Bible.
5. Global Warming is real but nothing to worry about. It's a part of the solar cycle. And besides, even if the U.S stopped emitting CO2 all together, it wouldn't make a difference because China isn't playing along.
They're definition of "going green" is already working out for them since we're $17 Trillion in debt.
6. The U.S wasn't founded to be a Christian nation? Tell that to the Matrix of Liberty. http://matrixofliberty.com/
oh and don't forget
"One Nation Under God."
and what about the 10 Commandments in the Courts?
Regardless if you can find one or two quotes, there are a thousand more that prove that America was founded on the Christian faith.
7. Finally, to tell Conservatives to give up what they have the right to believe whilst providing cockamamie "evidence" is insulting to the freedoms America was fought and built for.
I deem this article to be UNAMERICAN.
Nice to see Good ol Ray stir up the teabaggers and other forms of extremists with his fine column every two weeks or so.

I want to show $A_n$ can be defined by the following relations $x_1,x_2,\dots,x_{n-2}$: $$ x_1^3;\qquad x_i^2, i>1;\qquad (x_ix_{i+1})^3;\qquad (x_ix_j)^2, j>i+1. $$ I assume $n\geq 3$, and let $x_1=(123)$, $x_i=(12)(i+1,i+2)$ for $2\leq i\leq n-2$. These satisfy the given relations, so $A_n$ is the homomorphic image of $FG^{(n-2)}/K$, where $K$ is the normal subgroup generated by the realtions and $FG^{(n-2)}$ the free group generated by $x_1,\dots,x_{n-2}$.
Now $x_1^3\in K$, and so $x_1^3=1$ in $FG^{(1)}/K$, thus $|FG^{(1)}/K|\leq \frac{3!}{2}=3$. By induction I assume $$ |FG^{(n-3)}/K|\leq \frac{(n-1)!}{2}. $$ If $H$ is the subgroup of $FG^{(n-2)}/K$ generated by $x_1,\dots,x_{n-3}$, I claim $$ FG^{(n-2)}/K=H\cup Hx_{n-2}\cup Hx_{n-2}x_{n-3}\cup\cdots\cup Hx_{n-2}\cdots x_2x_1\cup Hx_{n-2}\cdots x_2x_1^2. $$ This follows since the last relation implies $x_ix_jx_ix_j=1$, or $x_ix_j=x_jx_i$ for $j>i+1$, and the cubed relation implies $$ x_{n-3}x_{n-2}x_{n-3}=x_{n-2}x_{n-3}x_{n-2}. $$ So for any $g\in FG^{(n-2)}/K$, I can write $g=hx_{n-2}x_{j_1}\cdots x_{j_m}$, for $h\in H$. So if $j_1\neq {n-3}$, I can commute to the left of $x_{n-1}$. If $j_1=n-3$, then I look to $j_2$, if $j_2=n-2$, then I can use the second relation above to decrease the number of elements to the right of the first $x_{n-2}$, etc. Either way, it is clear that $g$ has is in one of the cosets of $H$ listed above. So $$ |FG^{(n-2)}/K|\leq (n-1)\frac{(n-1)!}{2}+\frac{(n-1)!}{2}=\frac{n!}{2}. $$
This would show $A_n\simeq FG^{(n-2)}/K$ if the homomorphism is surjective, since I would have an epimorphism from a group of order $\leq n!/2$ onto a group of order $n!/2$. Is the induced homomorphism surjective? I know $A_n$ is generated by $3$-cycles , and even just cycles of form $(1ij)$, but I can't figure a way to get these with the $x_i$ I chose.

Notes Preview
Monday, August 25, 5:00 a.m.
Game Week starts early around here at Duck Feed headquarters. As I cobble together the first weekly football press release of the 2008 campaign, here are a few nuggets from the complete notes that will be posted later today on GoDucks.com.
SO QB Jake Locker had a career day against the Ducks in 2007 despite his team's defeat. Locker threw for 257 yards and 4 TDs against one interception. He is UW's leading returning rusher in the series with 78 yards, and only one of two current Huskies to ever gain positive rushing yardage against UO. SR TE Michael Gottlieb has played in the three previous games against the Ducks and has a pair of catches totaling 12 yards. SO WR D'Andre Goodwin is the only other UW player to have caught a pass versus the Ducks (1 for 3 yds). JR DE Daniel Te'o Nesheim, a high school teammate of Oregon SR C Max Unger, has 10 tackles, including a sack, in two career games against the Ducks. JR PK Ryan Perkins has connected on both FG attempts and all three PATs in his career against UO.
Of UO's returners who have played against the Huskies, JR RB Andre Crenshaw leads the pack in rushing with 128 yards, 2 TD and a 7.1 yards per carry avg. over two games. All told, four current Ducks have gained positive yards on the ground vs. UW, including SR RB Jeremiah Johnson and SO RB Remene Alston, who each have a rushing TD to their credit. SR WR Jaison Williams is a big fan of the rivalry, catching 13 balls for 152 yards and a touchdown in three games. SO WR Aaron Pflugrad shined in his lone game against the Dawgs, hauling in five passes for 51 yards a year ago. The Ducks do not have a single quarterback who has attempted a pass against UW. On defense, Oregon has 18 players on the current roster who have made at least one tackle against Washington. Leading the way is SR ROV Patrick Chung with 21 TT and two interceptions in three prior appearances. JR CB Walter Thurmond III has 12 tackles in two games, and JR CB Jairus Byrd has seven stops and one pick in two games. SR PK Matt Evensen has 22 points scored versus the Huskies on 3-of-4 FG and 13-of-13 PATs.
Andre Crenshaw has a career average of 7.1 yards per carry against the Huskies.
Departed QB Dennis Dixon played in three UO/UW clashes, throwing a total of one touchdown against three interceptions. The current Pittsburgh Steeler totaled just 304 passing yards and completed less than 60 percent of his passes in the three Oregon victories.

BACKGROUND: Primary intracranial squamous cell carcinomas are extremely rare, and commonly manifest as malignant transformations of intracranial epidermoid cysts. METHODS: A case of primary squamous cell carcinoma invading the ventral brain stem and the trigeminal entry zone is described. The tumor was microsurgically totally removed via a paramedian supracerebellar approach. Three years after the operation the tumor recurred, and was again totally removed using the same approach. RESULTS: The patient showed no postoperative neurologic deterioration except for a transient deterioration of gait disturbances. The pathologic diagnosis was a recurrence of the squamous cell carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: Since primary intracranial squamous cell carcinomas grow slowly and have a well demarcated capsule, total removal should be considered whenever possible.

Bristol Palin says she would not only give away copies of her first book at a Washington store but would sign them as well.
The announcement was made on Craigslist and was part of the promotion of "Not Afraid of Life -- My Journey So Far," a memoir penned by the 21-year-old Palin and ghostwriter Nancy French.
Bristol can be excused for not writing her relatively brief life story herself. She has been busy carving out a celebrity career highlighted by her 2010 appearance on television's "Dancing with the Stars," Britain's The Independent said.
ANI said the book, which came out in the summer, received some tepid reviews because her relationship with her famous political mom was overshadowed by her jabs at Levi Johnson, the father of the baby she carried during Sarah Palin's vice-presidential run.

If a bible stops bullets as well as it did for a Dayton bus driver, then the word serves as better protection for believers that anyone realized.
When a violent shooting spree erupted Monday morning, a bus driver for Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority -- Rickey Wagoner, 49 -- was caught in the middle. Three bullets were fired his way and two hit him in the chest, but in his shirt pocket was a biblical booklet, ABC News reports Feb. 25. Wagoner was shot in the leg and stabbed in the arm, but the two potentially fatal bullets never got through the booklet.
Wagoner told police he fought back with the three armed men. He grabbed the gun when they ran off and fired it in their direction until he was able to safely dial 911.
The bus driver said it felt like he was "hit with a sledgehammer."
The bible booklet that stopped the bullets was "The Message." Wagoner told authorities he only started carrying the booklet with him a week ago.
As the three men approached Wagoner while he stood by his bus, he recalled one of them saying, "If you want to be all the way in the club, you have to kill the polar bear."
Wagoner apparently defended himself well when he struggled with the attackers. He was stabbed in the leg and shot, but the criminals did not escape without getting some damage themselves. Wagoner also stabbed one of the men with a pen after choking another. Luckily, he wound up with more leverage in the end and is said to be recovering well.
It sounds like in the case of this man, a bible stops bullets, alright. Of course it is not something anyone wants to test out, but given the fact Rickey Wagoner just began carrying the booklet around a week ago, this was a good omen for him in a "roundabout" way.

Twenty-four hours removed from the Tiger's 97-94 victory against Bama, there's still some tidbits to process after the PMAC's first ever triple-overtime affair.
The Three-Pointer
First, it's hard to believe the 42-year old arena hasn't hosted one, but the Deaf Dome now owns that distinction.
Second, ice baths are the chore of the day for six players from both rosters that logged 40-plus minutes:
- LSU guard Charles Carmouche: 54
- LSU forward Johnny O'Bryant: 51
- Alabama guard Trevor Releford: 50
- Alabama guard Trevor Lacey: 43
- Alabama guard Rodney Cooper: 42
- LSU guard Anthony Hickey: 42
Talk about extremes for Carmouche, who only logged 3 minutes at Tennessee after being sat town after an in-game tiff with Tigers assistants. Ironically, his average for the week lands at 28.5 — only five minutes above his figure for the season — but coming in a way that touched both ends of a Bell Curve.
It's also likely Hickey would have topped the 50-minute plateau, but Jones sat him from the 11:32 mark until 2:11 left in the second half. Afterward, Jones clarified his wasn't trying to send a message to Hickey, who at times was matched up with Releford as the Bama sophomore racked up 29 points in 34 minutes.
Here's Jones' response from a post-game presser:
"Absolutely not. It was just a decision I had to make because he was playing hesitant. He plays so hard, and I just wasn't sure what it was going on with him. The aggressiveness wasn't there at times. I had to get him out and allow him to look at the game a little bit. He hadn't done anything wrong."
Only reading between the lines there's another hint: Jones wants Hickey, the Tigers' quickest guard and fastest in the open floor, to get North-South to the rim more and create. It's a desire Jones hinted at a couple weeks ago, and seems to be lingering.
Not to veer to far astray on a tangent, but an driving Hickey wouldn't hurt, either. On the season, he averages 4.2 fouls drawn per 40 minutes, according to kenpom.com. By comparison, the SEC leaders average at least six per game. They're listed below:
- Charles Mann, UGA, 6.8
- Jarnell Stokes, UT, 6.5
- Michael Carrera, USC, 6.1
- Trae Golden, UT, 6.1
- Archie Goodwin, UK, 6.1
Correlation doesn't always mean causation, but if you look at SEC squads that shoot the most free throws in relation to field goal attempts the top three are Georgia (48.5 percent), Kentucky (47.3 percent) and Tennessee (44.0). Where is LSU? The Tigers rank No. 12 at 30.2 percent. Translation: If Hickey can find a way to get into the paint, it obviously forces a defense to collapse and raises the potential for a foul by a help-side defender. Or it leaves a chance for O'Bryant to receive a feed and draw contact when his primary defender tries to recover after the dish. Finally, if Hickey pitches out to a slasher such as Shavon Coleman (an undersized stretch four player), it can create a seam to drive against a slower on-ball defender and enhance the probability of a foul. This isn't a revelation, but merely a statistically-backed observation.
On the bench, Hickey said he watched the ebb and flow of the game and wasn't peeved at the move.
"Just staying engaged," Hickey said. "Coach made his decision to sit me out for a little bit, catch my breath. And just watching them and cheering them on waiting for my turn to be called. I just kept pushing them while I was on the sideline. You gotta have faith in your team."
Closing out the talk of minutes and how they were apportioned, there's the obvious concern about how much Jones turns the vise in practice over the next couple days. It's also pressing because Arkansas (17-10, 8-6) arrives Wednesday. The Razorbacks are devotees of the renewed 40 Minutes of Hell installed by former UA assistant and current head coach Mike Anderson, and they live up to the imposing title. Arkansas averages 71.1 possessions per game, which is No. 14 among 347 NCAA Division I programs.
I can't think of a worse gift than to have to draw a foe that wants to run more than LSU. Any concern, though, stems solely from the volume of minutes and not the pace on Saturday. What's the difference? LSU had roughly 86 offensive possessions (based on traditional formulas), and here's how those broke down:
- First Half: 34.8
- Second Half: 30.4
- First OT: 6.0
- Second OT: 5.8
- Third OT: 8.8
- Total: 85.8
Those 51 minutes take a toll on your body. I'm pretty beat down, but I'm just going to get into the cold tub."
The Player
Trevor Releford, guard, Alabama: The sophomore scored 36 points on stunningly efficient 14 of 18 shooting. On its face, that's easy to see as impressive. Yet look at what the rest of the Tide did: 21 of 58 shooting, including 4 of 17 behind the arc, and just 58 points. Guard Rodney Cooper scored 18 points, but it took a 7 of 22 shooting effort to get there. Yes, LSU won, but Releford controlled the flow of the game at times. In the first half, Releford tallied 14 of Bama's 17 points over seven minutes in the first half to build a 33-31 lead. Meanwhile, he came back from a two minute rest on the bench at scored eight points three minutes to help Bama build a 64-54 lead. Or, put another way, he racked up 22 of his points in only 11 minutes. Stellar.
The Race
After Saturday, LSU sits alone in eighth place in the SEC, and the Hogs' arrival at the PMAC couldn't be more timely. The Tigers sit a game back in the standings, and a victory over Arkansas would create a tie for seventh in the league. Both teams would have identical overall win percentages of .629, but the Razorbacks would maintain the No. 7 seed, since they have a 1-1 record versus current top-seed Florida; LSU lost to the Gators by 12 points early January.
Still, it's a critical week for the Tigers, who also trek to a flummoxing Missouri (19-8, 8-6), a team that is undefeated at home but putrid on the road. It remains a critical opportunity, though, to try and make headway in SEC tournament seedings. UT (16-10, 8-6), which has won five in a row, hosts Florida on Tuesday and travel to Georgia on Saturday. Let's look at KenPom.com and its predictions for the week:
Tennessee: L vs. Florida, W at Georgia for a projected 17-11, 9-7 mark
Arkansas: W at LSU, L vs. Kentucky for a projected 17-11, 9-7 mark
LSU: L vs. Arkansas, L at Missouri for a projected 16-12, 7-9 mark
Arkansas has been awful on the road this season, going 1-6 in SEC games away from Bud Walton Arena. How bad? Anderson's team is getting hammered in road games by an average margin of minus-13.5 points. It's even worse when you consider UA is winning home games by 12.1 points. In effect, there's a 25.6 point swing in scoring margin between home and road for the Razorbacks. As for LSU, their road scoring margin is minus-1.9, and their home scoring margin sits at a skinny plus-0.3. It adds up to a game where Arkansas isn't facing a dominant home team, and LSU is drawing a group Auburn coach Tony Barbee said this season "plays less assertive" on the road. Put simply, it's a toss-up, and the Tigers need it if they hope to realistically make a push out of the No. 8 seed and a potential second-round date with the SEC's No. 1 seed.
The Track
On occasion, I'll offer up a selected track as part of my Sunday post to send you away with a door prize for reading the blog.
This week, the selection is a new single from Scottish electropop group CHVRCHES called "Recover" and seems fitting given what went on yesterday at the Maravich Assembly Center.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--Arizona long snapper Ben DalMolin earned Pac-10 All-Academic second-team football honors today.
The senior from Globe, Ariz., carries a 3.35 grade point average in wildlife, watershed and range resources, a course of study in the UA's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
He was named to the All-Academic squad as an offensive lineman. He will earn his third letter this season after starting as the snapper in 2001 and 2002, and rejoining the team last spring after spending the 2003 season concentrating on his coursework.
Six other UA nominees for the All-Academic football team earned honorable mention -- sophomore linebacker Akin Akinniyi, junior place kicker Nick Folk, redshirt freshman offensive tackle Peter Graniello, redshirt freshman quarterback Richard Kovalcheck, sophomore offensive lineman Erick Levitre and senior safety Tony Wingate.

I bought one of these kits for Sebastian a few years ago probably when he was 8 or 9. It was too difficult for him but one day, he picked them up again and whoosh! he was off. I was a member of a teachers resource center at the time and we could buy these kits 75% off so I bought several. He ended up building cities, including his version of the Ottoman Empire, and ultimately they caused the firing of our cleaning lady…Gifted.

How does one actually show from associativity that one can drop parentheses?
In some ways this question seems obvious, but it is rarely covered. The normal definition given for a binary operation $\ast$ on a set $S$ is that, for all $a,b,c \in S$: $$((a \ast b) \ast c)=(a \ast (b \ast c)) \tag{Assoc}$$
It is normal then to go straight from here to assuming that given any string of members of $S$, we can bracket them however we like. For example, if we have the string $(a,b,c,d,e,f)$, where $a,b,c,d,e,f \in S$, then: $$\Bigl((a \ast b) \ast \bigl(c \ast ((d \ast e) \ast f)\bigr)\Bigr)=\Bigl(a \ast \Bigl(\bigl((b \ast c) \ast d\bigr) \ast (e \ast f)\Bigr)\Bigr).$$
We can prove this particular identity by repeated use of (Assoc): $$\begin{align*} ((a \ast b) \ast (c \ast ((d \ast e) \ast f))) &= (a \ast (b \ast (c \ast ((d \ast e) \ast f))))\\ &=(a \ast (b \ast (c \ast (d \ast (e \ast f)))))\\ &=(a \ast ((b \ast c) \ast (d \ast (e \ast f))))\\ &=(a \ast (((b \ast c) \ast d) \ast (e \ast f))). \end{align*}$$
However, I am looking for a neat, formal proof for the general case. This will involve coming up with some way of coding a 'bracketing'. One thought I had was to write the string of things we are multiplying together as the ordered $n$-tuple $(a_1,a_2,a_3,\ldots ,a_n)$ and then considering the $(n-1)$-tuple of pairs of adjacent elements $(j_1,j_2,\ldots,j_{n-1})$ where $j_i=(a_i,a_{i+1})$. Then we can order the $j_i$ to define a bracketing - for example, if we have $(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4)$, the order $(j_2,j_3,j_1)$ corresponds to the bracketing $(a_1 \ast ((a_2 \ast a_3) \ast a_4))$ where we first bracket together around the second $\ast$, then around the third and then around the first. The bracketing need not be unique to the ording of the $j_i$ - $(j_3,j_1,j_2)$ and $(j_1,j_3,j_2)$ both correspond to the bracketing $((a_1 \ast a_2) \ast (a_3 \ast a_4))$, but we have a surjective mapping from the set of orders of the $j_i$ to the set of bracketings. The statement (Ass) above then corresponds to the statement that the product represented by $(\ldots,j_i,j_{i+1},\ldots)$ is the same as the product represented by $(\ldots,j_{i+1},j_i,\ldots)$. We can write this as $(\ldots,j_i,j_{i+1},\ldots) \backsimeq (\ldots,j_{i+1},j_i,\ldots)$. If we can show that this implies that any ordering $(j_{i_1},j_{i_2},\ldots,j_{i_n}) \backsimeq (j_1,j_2,\ldots,j_n)$ then we win.
Has anybody got any ideas?

Protect Yourself from Summer's Insect Pests (page 3 of 3)
by Suzanne DeJohn
What Doesn't Work
In the battle against pest insects, skip the bug zappers. Though the electrical zaps may sound productive, the devices actually kill far more beneficial insects than pests. Avoid homemade pest repellents that contain concentrated essential oils, especially pennyroyal, as these can cause serious side effects. An herbal infusion may be safe, but it's best to check with an experienced herbalist.
Many people want to avoid using repellents containing DEET. This is a matter of personal choice: The chemical is an effective repellent, but long-term use may pose risks. Always follow label directions carefully, especially when using the repellent on children.
Although a visit to the CDC Web site is enough to make even the sanest person afraid to leave the house, the reality is that the likelihood of contracting a life-threatening, insect- or tick-borne disease is very small. Take reasonable precautions, pay attention to your health and note any aberrations, and contact your physician if you have any concerns.

In just a few words, trapunto means a quilt design raised with an additional layer of batting and with a pronounced "stuffed" effect. While it wasn't an easy technique in the past, today's quilters made it easier- you just have to try it.
|PIN it for later
You can see below (you can feel it too if you touch it) the difference between a wholecloth quilt and a trapunto quilt. The look of the design depends by the thickness/type of the batting used.
For the trapunto design I used the same batting I used for the wholecloth quilt, which was not very thick.
But more dramatic 3D effect could be achieved with thicker batting.
|left picture- wholecloth; right picture- trapunto
|picture on the left - wholecloth; picture on the right - trapunto
Materials List for this small sample
- top fabric, batting, backing :16''x 16''
- additional layer of batting for trapunto: 14''x14''
- washable marker
What batting to use for trapunto
- For my past trapunto projects I used a fluffy polyester batting, like
Hobbs Poly Down Plus or Poly-fil Hi Loft by Fairfield, weighting about 4 -6
ounces per square yard (150-200 g/square meter). Quilters Dream Puff is also good for this technique.
Thicker batting could also be used (with better look for trapunto, of course), but then you need more care to keep the fabric flat while quilting.
- For some projects I used cotton batting or cotton -poly blend;
- Some quilters use 2 or even more layers and this is definitely harder to trim.
You need to know: fluffy polyester batting is easier to trim than felt-like cotton batting.
To assemble the pattern, cut on the dashed line of the first page and tape it to the second page.
|-click on the picture to download the design -
Using the washable marker, transfer the design onto fabric.
Many quilters use it only in the needle (paired in the bobbin with a thread in a color that matches the fabric); but I like to use it in the bobbin too - it means a few more dollars but less headaches with the thread tension, stitching mistakes or the bobbin thread showing on the top after washing the quilt.
If you don't have water-soluble thread at hand, you could try the technique with invisible thread- see how it works for you and decide if you want to invest in water soluble thread.
|Stitching on the front
|Stitching on the back
Cut the batting away around the design. This task probably scares many quilters and they don't even have the desire to try this wonderful technique. But here are 3 tips that make the technique easier.
The trimming is easier (and with less chances for snipping the fabric) if the fabric is stiff - so starch it WELL. My fabric is not well starched, I don't have enough patience for this, but this step is a HUGE help. Take your time and starch your fabric a few times.
|Trim the batting as close to the stitching line as possible.
Then wash the quilt.
And here are a few of my trapunto quilts, made many years ago.
The design is enhanced by light color fabric.
It is an interesting technique, with beautiful results. I hope you will try it at least once.

With the upcoming changes to Magic's block system, some interesting new possibilities for block structures have opened up, even as the three-set model becomes effectively closed-off for use (unless the schedule is altered for that block to allow for at least five sets in one year!). Specifically, instead of the "new normal" concept of two blocks of two sets each in a year - one starting in the fall and the other in the spring - lots of blog readers are asking Mark Rosewater and Doug Beyer about a single epic-length four-set block taking up an entire year's releases. And both of them seem to think it's both a possibility and a good idea.
When mangryel asked Rosewater, "with the new block formula of two two-part blocks per year, is it possible that we have a year with one enormous four-part block, or maybe that the two blocks shared a story or something like that?" he responded:
That is a possibility but it would have to be a big enough story to merit it.
Meanwhile, when stalydan asked Beyer, "Since the core sets will stop, does that mean we could possibly get something like Lorwyn/Shadowmoor again where the blocks are linked flavour wise but mechanically fairly different?" the reply was:
It's a whole new — I was going to say world but that's ambiguous — paradigm! We have a lot of options opened up to us, including the possibility of connecting or relating six-month blocks to each other somehow. But the goal is to have the spring set come in with the same sense of anticipation and sense of discovery as the fall set, which in most cases will mean going someplace entirely distinct.
So whatever might deserve this kind of treatment? Here are a few possibilities:
- The return to Dominaria block. Even after the Time Spiral Crisis seemed to neatly bring the first-ever plane with a continuing storyline's time on stage to a close, the current consensus is that going back yet again is inevitable. By now it's been so long, and the resonance of Dominaria's stories are still so important, that the playerbase would expect nothing less than a double-sized block to contain it all.
- Multiversal faction war. If the Phyrexians, Eldrazi, and Bolas's forces are all nebulous but credible threats that will all one day come to cause trouble on one plane or another, the idea of having all three of them brawl it out, villain versus villain versus villain, is an obvious one. If this ever happens, it'd probably take four sets to bring it all to us.
- Third Ravnica block. Let's face it - not only is Ravnica too popular not to get a third outing, fitting all ten guilds into three sets is hard enough; getting them into two would be almost impossible.

Apartments in Manhattan Waterfront View Numbers
New York City has approximately 520 miles of shoreline. According to the Department of City Planning's Waterfront and Open Space Department, New York City's waterfront is the longest of any single city in the US. In fact, if you were to combine the waterfronts of Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle and Portland, they wouldn't total New York City's. Here is the breakdown of the miles of waterfront by borough.
Bronx: 90
Brooklyn: 132
Manhattan: 60
Queens: 160
Staten Island: 78
Manhattan apartments that have coveted waterfront views are typically located on the Upper East Side, starting from approximately Turtle Bay for an East River view; the Upper West Side for a Hudson River View, and the FiDi/ Batter Park neighbourhoods.

AT&T Motorola Olympus Tegra 2-based Android superphone to be released in December or January
The AT&T-bound, Nvidia Tegra 2-based Motorola Olympus superphone has surfaced yet again. We've first heard of this device just a few days ago, and rumor had it that it would have a dual-core processor, and would be launched by AT&T sometime soon.
Today we may have gotten a more accurate time frame for the release. Someone outright asked AT&T about this device on Facebook. And surprisingly enough, someone answered on behalf of AT&T. So what we know now is that the Olympus will become available in December or January.
No details about its specs have been confirmed, but then again, none of the rumored specs were denied either. So with the Samsung Google Nexus S also imminent, it looks like 2011 will begin with an onslaught of dual-core Android smartphones.

This weekend's Northeast Film Festival will feature the RayStar Film and Production Inc. dramatic film "The Right to Live." The festival runs from Friday, Sept. 5 to Sunday, Sept. 7 at the Teaneck Cinemas in Teaneck, New Jersey, and "The Right to Live" will show at 11 a.m. on Friday.
The movie was written and directed by RayStar Film founders Nancy Vazquez and Michele Frantzeskos, who each have a personal connection to the film's emotional subject matter. There are four couples that go through the storyline of "The Right to Live," and they each are dealing with some form of abuse. The couples enter group therapy, and the background of the abusive relationships is further revealed. Viewers will feel like they are witnessing the emotional situations firsthand, and will watch anxiously to see if the couples break the cycle of abuse and come to a positive resolution.
Vazquez and Frantzeskos seek to raise awareness of various types of abuse through the film, and encourage people in abusive relationships to seek help. "We stand in this world striving to make a difference by helping others and teaching people that they need to believe in themselves and not let anyone break their spirit to make them feel powerless," they said in a statement. "We at RayStar Film and Production Inc. are ready for change to happen with this powerful movement of a film."
RayStar also established an anti-bullying campaign in 2013 called "PROJECT WAKE UP." "WAKE" is an acronym that means "We Are Kids Educated United and Positive." Vazquez and Frantzeskos visit schools across the Tri-State area and talk to the youth about bullying and abuse prevention. The program and its accompanying song, "WAKE UP," were honored by Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine and Councilman Dan Panico for their efforts. "Too many children are losing their lives due to this," Vazquez and Frantzeskos said in a statement. "We at RayStar Film and Production Inc. are here to raise awareness."

Christmas is here, and what better way to bring the family together than to put on a holiday-themed movie?
Rather conveniently, each of the big-three streaming services has posted a list of Christmas titles offered on their respective sites. These include plenty of seasonal favorites like "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" on Netflix Instant, "Scrooged" on Amazon Prime Instant and, among the three subscription services, not one but several versions of the Yule log fireplace.
If you're looking for something new to watch, though, here's a quick list of outside-the-box Christmas movies as well as a few other December recommendations.
Christmas movies
"White Christmas" — Fun fact: Irving Berlin's classic song of the same name was listed as the best-selling single of all time by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2007. While everybody still sings "White Christmas," though, the 1954 movie — about a song-and-dance team trying to help a friend on Christmas Eve — isn't quite as well known as it used to be. A good, old-fashioned holiday story, it stars Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Vera-Ellen and Rosemary Clooney (George's aunt), but the real standout is Berlin's music.
Rating: G
Available on: Netflix Instant
"Black Adder's A Christmas Carol" – From the Muppets to Mickey Mouse to Mr. Magoo, there's no shortage of variations on Charles Dickens' classic holiday story. For a slightly different twist, try this one featuring Rowan Atkinson as Ebenezer Blackadder, the kindest man in Victorian England (despite a long family history of wretches and villains) who, after a visit from the Spirit of Christmas, becomes persuaded to give meanness a try. Other famous British actors like Jim Broadbent, Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie co-star.
Rating: TV-PG
Available on: Netflix Instant
"Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" – Frequently called one of the worst films ever made, this 1964 B-movie is to Christmas what "Plan 9 from Outer Space" is to Halloween. If that comparison alone doesn't immediately make you want to put it at the top of your streaming queue, then it's a safe bet that it might not be your cup of tea.
Rating: Not rated
Available on: Netflix Instant, Amazon Prime Instant, Hulu Plus
"Becoming Santa" – A 2011 documentary about a man's journey to become a volunteer St. Nick for a season. Along with a physical transformation, the process ends up becoming one of discovery as he learns what Santa means in today's world. A fantastic choice that gets at the true spirit of Christmas without pandering.
Rating: Not rated
Available on: Netflix Instant, Hulu Plus
"The Hudsucker Proxy" – It isn't about Christmas per se, but the Coen Bros.' 1994 comedy starring Tim Robbins channels the classic Frank Capra holiday vibe in its story about a dimwitted mailroom worker who is made president of his company as part of a stock scam. It's a lot more Christmasy than that might make it sound. Particularly recommended for fans of other Coen Bros. comedies like "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and "Raising Arizona."
Rating: PG
Available on: Amazon Prime Instant

Y'know…. The way everyone complains about the quality of programming, it's no wonder they are discontinuing tv lists.
One less reason to get a paper. Eventually they will realize, but it will be too late.
Going to an email paper isn't the answer, Too many sources, legitimate and otherwise, with links to connect wherever. People have to have a REASON to go to the paper, and too many don't understand that.
We keep taking things out of our newspaper.
Why aren't people buying our newspapers anymore?
First you have to be IN the newspaper, Dean…
Maybe the new owners will put them back. Whoever buys it.
Tip of the hat to Martin Niemöller. We're all in this together.
And tip of the hat to Doug/Groucho for being so literate as to understand the reference! Kudos to Tom for sophisticated joke that has a lot of relevancy!
i do it simple way…i change channels and if i like what i see, i watch…….period…..so there ( sticking tounge out )

Danica McKellar is in the best shape of her life at 40, thanks to a low carb gluten-free Paleo-style diet, yoga workouts and lots of dancing, Celebrity Health reported.
"I don't eat gluten, I don't eat dairy, I don't eat sugar," said McKellar. "And the only thing I drink is water. I eat really, really clean. I'm very strict."
Danica, who starred on the hit TV series "The Wonder Years" from 1988 to 1993, said she doesn't deprive herself, but makes a point to fill up on nutrient-dense, whole foods.
The Paleo diet is an alcohol-free diet that emphasizes high-quality animal proteins, healthy fats, non-starchy vegetables, and excludes gluten, sugar, dairy, legumes, and processed foods.
Research suggests the Paleo diet accelerates weight loss, reduces blood pressure, and prevents cancer, diabetes, heart disease, depression, and even Alzheimer's. A recent study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition indicates the Paleo diet is twice as effective as other diets for promoting weight loss and reducing belly fat.
"Clinical trials have shown the Paleo diet is the optimum diet that can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, blood pressure, markers of inflammation, help with weight loss, reduce acne, promote optimum health and athletic performance," said professor Loren Cordain, author of The Paleo Diet for Athletes and The Paleo Diet Cookbook.
The super-toned McKellar, who competed on season 18 of "Dancing With the Stars," said her usual workouts are low-impact and center around yoga. "I do yoga, I actually have a yoga DVD called 'Daily Dose of Dharma, " said Danica.
Danica worked out up to seven hours a day for "Dancing With the Stars" with partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy. She said the grueling dance training is fun but exhausting.
After McKellar hit it big as a child star, she pursued a mathematics degree at UCLA and graduated with honors. Danica then went on to write three New York Times-bestselling math books for children, including Girls Get Curves: Geometry Takes Shape.

Pleasantly Surprised Review by DorkFish
Well, as a first time tank driller...It got the job done. I was actually surprised with how easy it cuts the glass. The finished edge wasn't pretty but that could be due to operator error. I drilled three 10 gallon tanks: First tank was drilled slow. Took a little while but got it cut. 2nd tank: Slow half way through then changed to fast. It got it cut. 3rd tank: I think I got a little impatient used fast speed the entire time. Got all the way to the end and it cracked the tank. So I think the slower speed is the way to go.

"We found the bacteria in my underarm are more similar to the bacteria in your underarm, than my underarm bacteria are to my forearm bacteria," Segre said.
That offers a clue to disease, because different skin diseases tend to appear in specific places on the body.
"We are using these findings to start to explore how the microbiome contributes to disease such as eczema or MRSA [methicillin-resistant staph] infection. We know there is a contribution, but we think there may be even a greater bacterial contribution than we had previously appreciated," Segre said.
That contribution is not one-sided. We tend to think of bacteria as germs that cause disease -- but the new findings suggest that a healthy crop of normal bacteria prevents disease.
"For example, 1.5% of Americans have MRSA in their nose -- but they don't show any signs of infection," Segre said. "Maybe it is that the other bacteria are keeping the MRSA in check and not letting it grow and create an infection. Or maybe it is because the MRSA is changing between when it's up in someone's nose and when it causes an infection."
In future studies, the researchers will compare the microorganisms living on healthy people to those living on people with diseases.
"We want to see if there is a shift between what we find in normal individuals and what we find in someone with a skin disease," Segre said.
"Our results underscore that skin is home to vibrant communities of microbial life, which may significantly influence our health," Grice says in a news release.

Today marks the International World Food Day 2010 in order to commemorate all of the humans who suffer from malnutrition or starvation every day. Over one billion people worldwide suffer from malnutrition, particularly individuals who live in African countries. According to the United Nations 30 countries suffer from malnutrition – 21 of which are located in Africa.
The European Union contributes 30 to 40 percent of all global aid given to fight malnutrition making it the largest contributor. Governments all around the world have united to fight this epidemic. Through the development of the United Nation's World Food Programme (WFP) countries all around the world have joined together to use technological advances to combat malnutrition issues. One such project is in development in Egypt. The WFP is creating a means for Egypt's government to fortify wheat flour with essential vitamins that poor citizens do not receive through their diet.
In order to learn more about WFP and to contribute to the program, please visit https://www.wfp.org/donate/fillthecup.

For the second year in a row, Saints coach Sean Payton will take a special trip to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday for the annual induction ceremony.
After Saturday's Black and Gold Scrimmage, Payton will travel to Canton, Ohio, to watch former NFL coach Bill Parcells be inducted. Payton was a part of Parcells' staff with the Dallas Cowboys from 2003-05 before becoming the Saints' coach.
"It was later in my career as an assistant, but it gave me a chance to spend three years with someone who's very talented," Payton said of his stint with the two-time Super Bowl-winning coach. "It was a lot like going to law school for me.
"I think anyone that has had some success in our careers, generally we've been fortunate enough to be around some people that have been successful," he said. "That certainly has been the case for me. He is well-deserved and I really am excited for him. I think it is a special honor."
Payton was also on Dallas' offensive staff when guard Larry Allen, who is also being inducted, was wrapping up his Cowboys' career.
Last year, Payton, who was suspended at the time, went to Canton to watch former Saints tackle William Roaf get inducted.
OFFICIALS CHECK IN: A group of NFL, college and high school officials arrived Thursday to work the practice as well as Friday's workout and Saturday's Black and Gold Scrimmage.
Before practice, long time NFL referee Walt Coleman gave a media presentation, which included a video highlighting the rules changes and points of emphasis for the 2013 season.
Coleman's crew included Sarah Thomas, who's trying to become the NFL's first female official, and Pittsburgh high school official Amanda Sauer. Also on the crew were a pair of veteran NFL officials from Louisiana — line judge Carl Johnson, of Thibodaux, and field judge Greg Gauthreaux, of Lafayette.
BREES DEFENDS HIMSELF: If how much he tips on a takeout meal is the biggest controversy the Saints deal with this season, quarterback Drew Brees will be thrilled, he said after Thursday's practice.
Brees, signed to a $100 million contract last year, left $3 on a $74.41 takeout order from Del Mar Rendezvous Chinese fusion restaurant in Del Mar, Calif., last month.
Someone snapped a photo of the receipt signed by Brees and the picture got around, sparking a debate across national news and social media about whether the MVP of Super Bowl XLIV was cheap.
Wednesday night, Brees tweeted he would have tipped more than 20 percent if he had sat down to eat in the restaurant. Because it was takeout, he left $3.
The restaurant manager apologized to Brees about the photo and donated $888.88 to the Brees Dream Foundation because eight is the luckiest number in Chinese culture. He said the receipt "would indicate Mr. Brees is a very generous individual, as … takeout orders do not usually garner a tip at our restaurant."
LOFTON RETURNS: After missing two days of practice with a sore back, Saints inside linebacker Curtis Lofton returned for Thursday's workout and had full participation with the first-team defense.
Running back Mark Ingram was held out of the indoor practice to rest and should be back on Friday's practice, according to Payton.
