Parmesan Potatoes Au Gratin RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
3.5 10 10
This recipe represents my philosophy of cooking to its best - cooking with love. A good test to see if you have enough cream in the recipe is to gently press on the top of the layers (once finished). If there is enough cream, you should see it coming out on the sides, but not overflowing. Letting the au gratin rest is very important . . . even though it is so delicious that you would want to jump right in. If you like onions, slice thinly and add in between the layers. —Theresa Danos, Hyde Park, New York
- 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 pounds red potatoes, very thinly sliced
- 2-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- Combine the first five ingredients. Layer a third of the potatoes and 2/3 cup cheese mixture in a greased 8-in. square baking dish; repeat layers. Top with remaining potatoes; pour cream over top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture.
- Cover and bake at 325° for 65 minutes. Increase temperature to 375°. Uncover; bake 25-30 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender and top is golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 9 servings.

"We must get rid of that Christ, we must get rid of that Christ!" So spake one of the wisest, one of the most lovable of men, Ralph Waldo Emerson. "If I had my way," said Thomas Carlyle, "the world would hear a pretty stern command -- Exit Christ." Since Emerson and Carlyle spoke a revolution has taken place in the thoughts of men. The more enlightened of them are now rid of Christ. From their minds he has made his exit. To quote the words of Prof. Goldwin Smith, "The mighty and supreme Jesus, who was to transfigure all humanity by his divine wit and grace -- this Jesus has flown." The supernatural Christ of the New Testament, the god of orthodox Christianity, is dead. But priestcraft lives and conjures up the ghost of this dead god to frighten and enslave the masses of mankind. The name of Christ has caused more persecutions, wars, and miseries than any other name has caused. The darkest wrongs are still inspired by it. The wails of anguish that went up from Kishenev, Odessa, and Bialystok still vibrate in our ears.
Two notable works controverting the divinity of Christ appeared in the last century, the Leben Jesu of Strauss, and the Vie de Jesus of Renan. Strauss in his work, one of the masterpieces of Freethought literature, endeavors to prove, and proves to the satisfaction of a majority of his readers, that Jesus Christ is a historical myth. This work possesses permanent value, but it was written for the scholar and that for the general reader. In the German and Latin versions, and in the admirable English translation of Marian Evans (George Eliot), the citations from the Gospels -- and they are many -- are in Greek.
Renan's "Life of Jesus," written in Palestine, has had, especially in its abridged form, an immense circulation, and has been a potent factor in the dethronement of Christ. It is a charming book and displays great learning. But it is a romance, not a biography. The Jesus of Renan, like the Satan of Milton, while suggested by the Bible, is a modern creation. The warp is to be found in the Four Gospels, but the woof was spun in the brain of the brilliant Frenchman. Of this book Renan's fellow countryman, Dr. Jules Soury, thus writes:
"It is to be feared that the beautiful, the 'divine,' dream, as he would say, which the eminent scholar experienced in the very country of the Gospel, will have the fate of the 'Joconda' of Da Vinci, and many of the religious pictures of Raphael and Michael Angelo. Such dreams are admirable, but they are bound to fade.... The Jesus who rises up and comes out from those old Judiaizing writings (Synoptics) is truly no idyllic personage, no meek dreamer, no mild and amiable moralist; on the contrary, he is very much more of a Jew fanatic, attacking without measure the society of his time, a narrow and obstinate visionary, a half-lucid thaumaturge, subject to fits of passion, which caused him to be looked upon as crazy by his own people. In the eyes of his contemporaries and fellow-countrymen he was all that, and he is the same in ours."
Renan himself repudiated to a considerable extent his earlier views regarding Jesus. When he wrote his work he accepted as authentic the Gospel of John, and to this Gospel he was indebted largely for the more admirable traits of his hero. John he subsequently rejected. Mark he accepted as the oldest and most authentic of the Gospels. Alluding to Mark he says:
"It cannot be denied that Jesus is portrayed in this gospel not as a meek moralist worthy of our affection, but as a dreadful magician."
This volume on "The Christ" was written by one who recognizes in the Jesus of Strauss and Renan a transitional step, but not the ultimate step, between orthodox Christianity and radical Freethought. By the Christ is understood the Jesus of the New Testament. The Jesus of the New Testament is the Christ of Christianity. The Jesus of the New Testament is a supernatural being. He is, like the Christ, a myth. He is the Christ myth. Originally the word Christ, the Greek for the Jewish Messiah," "the anointed," meant the office or title of a person, while Jesus was the name of the person on whom his followers had bestowed this title. Gradually the title took the place of the name, so that Jesus, Jesus Christ, and Christ became interchangeable terms -- synonyms. Such they are to the Christian world, and such, by the law of common usage, they are to the secular world.
It may be conceded as possible, and even probable, that a religious enthusiast of Galilee, named Jesus, was the germ of this mythical Jesus Christ. But this is an assumption rather than a demonstrated fact. Certain it is, this person, if he existed, was not a realization of the Perfect Man, as his admirers claim. There are passages in the Gospels which ascribe to him a lofty and noble character, but these, for the most part, betray too well their Pagan origin. The dedication of temples to him and the worship of him by those who deny his divinity is as irrational as it will prove ephemeral. One of the most philosophic and one of the most far seeing minds of Germany, Dr. Edward von Hartmann, says:
"When liberal Protestantism demands religious reverence for the man Jesus, it is disgusting and shocking. They cannot themselves believe that the respect in which Jesus is held by the people and which they have made use of in such an unprotestant manner, can be maintained for any length of time after the nimbus of divinity has been destroyed, and they may reflect on the insufficiency of the momentary subterfuge. The Protestant principle in its last consequences, disposes of all kinds of dogmatic authority in a remorseless manner, and its supporters must, whether they like it or not, dispense with the authority of Christ."

Prayer M1: The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy
will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And
forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead
us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Prayer M2: Safely Home
I am home in heaven, dear ones; oh, so happy and so bright! There is a perfect
joy and beauty in the everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, every
restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, safely home in heaven at
last. There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand, do it
now, while life remaineth– you shall rest in God's own land. When that work is
all completed, He will gently call you home; oh, the rapture of that meeting oh,
the joy to see you come!
Prayer M3: Twenty-Third Psalm
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; He
leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art
with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth
over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I
shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever._________________________________________________
Prayer M4: Eternal Light
Those we love must someday pass beyond our present sight... Must leave us and
the world we know without their radiant light. But we know that like a candle
their lovely light will surely shine to brighten up another place more
perfect... more divine. And in the realm of Heaven where they shine so warm
and bright. Our loved ones live forevermore in God's eternal light._________________________________________________
Prayer M5: Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace,
our Lord is with thee,
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now, and in
the hour of our death.
Prayer M6: When I Must Leave You
When I must leave you for a little while please do not grieve and shed wild
tears and hug your sorrow to you through the years but start out bravely with a
gallant smile; and for my sake and in my name live on and do all things the
same, feed not your loneliness on empty days, but fill each waking hour in
useful ways, reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer and I in turn will
comfort you and hold you near; and never, never be afraid to die, for I am
waiting for you in the sky!
Prayer M7: I Only Wanted You
They say memories are golden,
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
If tears could build a stairway,
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven,
and bring you back again.
Prayer M8: Broken Chain
"Little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we
loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you
home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though
we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and
nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link
Prayer M9: I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free; I took His hand when I heard him call; I
turned my back and left it all. If my parting has left a void; then fill it with
remembered joy. My life's been full, I savored much; good friends, good times, a
loved one's touch. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; ah yes, these things, I
too, will miss. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; don't lengthen it now with
undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me; God wanted me now, He set me
Prayer M10: Afterglow
I'd like the memory of me, to be a happy
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles,
when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo, whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times, and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears, of those who grieve,
to dry before the sun, of happy memories that I leave
When life is
Prayer M11: Do Not Stand
Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep,
I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond's gift of snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the autumn's gentle rain,
When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night,
Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there,
I did not die.___________________________________________________
Prayer M12:
God The Giver
Blessed are they
that mourn, for they shall be comforted
- St. Matthew,
Verse 5
O God, the giver
of pardon, and lover of human salvation,
have mercy on your
servant, who has departed from this world.
May the
intercession, of the Blessed Mary ever Virgin,
and all your
Saints, assist this soul in attaining eternal happiness.
May the souls of
all the faithful departed,
through the Mercy
of God rest in peace. Amen
Prayer M13:
Resurrection Prayer
Most merciful
Father, we commend our departed into your hands.
We are filled with
the sure hope, that our departed will rise again
on the Last Day
with all who have died in Christ.
We thank you for
all the good things you have given
during our
departed's earthly life.
O Father, in your
great mercy, accept our prayer that the Gates of Paradise
may be opened for
your servant.
In our turn, may
we too be comforted, by the words of faith
until we greet
Christ in glory, and are united with you and our departed.
Through Christ our
Lord, Amen.
Prayer M14:
God's Garden
Prayer M15:
Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
Prayer M16:
The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy
Prayer M17:
St. Thérèse, The Little
Flower Novena
St. Thérèse, the little flower,
please pick for me a rose from the
heavenly garden and send it to me
as a message of love.
Ask God to grant me the favor
I thee implore
and tell him I will love him
each day more and more.
(The above prayer, plus 5 Our Father's,
5 Hail Mary's 5 Glory Be's, must be said on 5 successive days, before 11 a.m. On the
5th day, the 5th set of prayers having been completed, offer one more set – 5 Our Father's, 5 Hail Mary's, 5 Glory Be's)
Prayer M18: An Irish Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

El Señor es mi pastor; nada me falta, en verdes pastos él me hace reposar y
adonde brota agua fresca me conduce. Fortalece mi alma, por el camino del bueno
me dirige por amor de su nombre. Aunque pase por quebradas muy oscuras no tengo
ningún mal, porque tú estás conmigo, tu bastón y tu vara me protegen. Me sirves

y han sido enterrados con Él creyendo que algún día llegaría el día de la
resurecciòn. En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo. Amén. ____________________________

UN AND AFRICA: Maasai people facing loss of landListen /
• The Maasai people of East Africa are facing the threat of land dispossession, says an activist from this indigenous community. The Executive Director of the Tanzania-based IrkiRamat Foundation is attending this year's session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. He says the government is trying to change the laws to take land away from the Maasai.
Sports can support the fight against human trafficking and smuggling
• The world needs sports to fight traffickers and smugglers who do "evil business", according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). A discussion in Geneva this week focused on how to assist and protect athletes from traffickers seeking to take advantage of them. It was attended by professional athletes and leaders of professional football clubs.
Aid operations begin in South Sudan following signing of cease-fire
• UN relief agencies in South Sudan are delivering life-saving aid to the communities affected by the conflict. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says these operations are in response to a cease-fire agreement signed by government and opposition leaders on Friday. The accord allows for an opening up of humanitarian corridors for the safe transit of relief items.

Some 80 quilts — some of them large spreads, some of them sparkling miniatures — turned Bethany's First Church sanctuary into a tapestry of bright color and shapes.
The Heritage & Hope quilt show was the first of its kind in this area. The quilts were loaned to the exhibit committee by members of the church and others in the wider community.
The show was open to the public Friday and Saturday, with quilts hanging from the balcony and draped over the pews.
There were a number of historic quilts of which one "Signature" quilt from the 1900s stood out. The squares were made by Barrie Tait Collins' great-grandmother and her friends, an explanatory text read, and each friend signed a square.
These type of quilts, popular at the time, are often rich resources of information for local historians and genealogists.
Most of the exhibited quilts were more recent, some of them quite modern in their artistic expression. But each was rewarding to linger on, to study, and appreciate its details. The committee had provided white gloves for those who felt compelled to touch the fabrics.
Twenty-four exhibitors were listed in the program, many of them quilters in their own right.
The exhibit was part of the church's 250th anniversary celebration.

I'm looking for any free media (podcasts, videos, etc) featuring (preferably unscripted) Japanese and that have a transcript (also free).
(The best model I know of of the kind of material I'm looking for, except for not being in Japanese, is The McLaughlin Group's Library, a freely accessible online library of videos of a weekly political debate show, along with their transcripts.)
Note: One may reasonably think that videos that have been captioned for the hearing-impaired would fall within what I'm looking for, but on the contrary, strictly as a matter of personal taste, I consider captions a very poor substitute for a proper transcript, one that I would consider only after I had completely given up hope of finding Japanese-language media with proper transcripts. So please, do not submit as answers any media for which there is no separate transcript document (i.e. as opposed to "embedded" captions).

Profile Last Updated: November 13, 2007
This vegetarian gem located in the Glebe community centre was founded in 1975, by an Austrian woman by the name of Ilse Kyssa. Ms. Kyssa retired in 1995 when the current owner took the reins. However, Kyssa's attachment and devotion to the Pantry has remained even today, as she continues to cycle to the Pantry and volunteer there three days a week. The community's devotion to the Pantry hasn't wavered either! In 2003, renovations to the community centre proposed the closure of the Pantry. But thanks to dedicated customers, a successful campaign was launched and today the charming eatery in the old church continues to thrive!
Nourishing the Body and Exciting the Palate
Each day, one soup and one entrée of a varied assortment are offered along with one or two desserts plus salads, sandwiches and a variety of teas. Each vegetarian dish is made on-site and celebrates the cultural flavours and taste combinations that are sure to entice every palate. Soups with hearty ingredients and aromatic spices such as Thai corn, leek and potato and Indian split pea may be offered and one of the delectable main course items could be eggplant moussaka, tofu pot pie, pesto pizza, spinach paneer with biryani rice or hummus with quinoa tabouli are sure to please.
A Change from Fast Food Blues
The Pantry works hard to provide organic, local and gluten free choices. Also, all of the meals, sandwiches and salads are made to order so there's no freezer or microwave preparation here! And once your entrée experience is complete, try one or two of the following delicious sweet selections that might be offered on that day: pumpkin pie, cranberry walnut cake and lemon millet pudding and/or muffins made with spelt flour such as blueberry, zucchini and currant.

Proskura, a 2014 ITA Doubles All-American, earned a top-eight seed in the NCAA Doubles Championship with O'Shaughnessey and was also selected to participate in the 2014 NCAA Singles Championship. He is a two-time Southeastern Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year and earned 2014 First Team All-SEC honors. Proskura, co-captain of the 2013-14 team, ranked as high as No. 12 nationally in singles and No. 7 nationally in doubles. He is a two-time ITA Scholar-Athlete and a two-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
Proskura, who holds a 3.875 GPA in finance, made the President's List in three semesters and the Dean's List for five semesters. He was a finalist for Alabama's Paul W. Bryant Award, given out annually to the top scholar-athlete and a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Throughout his career, Proskura has steadily moved up the lineup and has played No. 1 singles and doubles as a senior. He led the team in singles victories as a junior and doubles wins as a senior.
"Dani has led our team and set the standard for our program moving forward," said Alabama head coach George Husack. "He's always worked the hardest, and it is great for him to get these honors. I couldn't be more proud of him. He's accomplished everything that he wanted to accomplish here. He made the choice a couple years ago to be successful on and off the court."
O'Shaughnessey, a 2014 ITA Doubles All-American and two-time Second Team All-SEC selection, has ranked as high as No. 51 in singles and No. 7 in doubles as a sophomore. He leads the Crimson Tide with 22 overall singles wins, including 14 at the No. 2 singles position. Partnered with Proskura, the duo beat the No. 1 and No. 2 doubles teams in the nation in consecutive weeks, helping them earn a top-eight seed in the NCAA Doubles Championship. O'Shaughnessey ended the dual-match season with five-consecutive victories, all of which came in straight sets and two against ranked opponents.
"To be recognized in our conference and now on a regional level speaks volumes about Becker," added Husack. "He's made such an impact to our program already, and we are looking forward to his continued growth as a player and leader of this team."

Professor of English, primarily engaged in teaching, researching and developing his subject, with a strong focus on public as well as academic engagement and impact. Professor Goodridge's special interests as a lecturer include poetry, eighteenth and nineteenth century literature, Romanticism, recovery research, labouring-class poets especially John Clare, and a range of modern and contemporary writings including writers on the Spanish Civil War, the poet Tony Harrison, and the novelist Philip K Dick. Professor Goodridge is also the Editorial Director of the research publication imprint, Trent Editions.
After working in transport and commerce for some years, Professor Goodridge took his first and higher degrees at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. During his doctoral research he worked on transcribing the manuscripts of Sir Walter Scott as an assistant for the Edinburgh Edition of the Waverley Novels, and as an Oxford-based MHRA Research Fellow cataloguing and describing the manuscripts of Allan Ramsay for the Index of English Literary Manuscripts. Professor Goodridge was the Lord Adams Fellow at Newcastle University for 1991-93, working on an edition of John Dyer's georgic poem The Fleece (1757).
Professor Goodridge's principal publications include monographs on eighteenth century rural poetry and on John Clare and community. He is the General Editor of two three-volume series of anthologies of labouring-class poetry, and has edited and written extensively on eighteenth and nineteenth century poetry, including work on the poets Robert Bloomfield, Thomas Chatterton, John Clare, Mary Collier, Stephen Duck, John Dyer, John Philips and Allan Ramsay. Professor Goodridge is currently working on two contracted books, a monograph on Labour in Labouring-class Poetry (Palgrave) and an edited book, A History of Working-class Writing (Cambridge UP), both in collaboration with Professor Bridget Keegan of Creighton University, Omaha.
Opportunities to carry out postgraduate research towards an MPhil/PhD exist and further information may be obtained from the NTU Graduate School.
Current students
Amy E Watson (Director of Studies) PhD student.
Professor Goodridge and Professor Bridget Keegan (Creighton University, Omaha), with their respective research teams, are developing new resources and online platforms for the 'Database of Labouring-Class Poetry', of which Professor Goodridge is General Editor and Principal Writer.

Professor Goodridge works closely with the John Clare Society and the Robert Bloomfield Society, and regularly co-organises and co-hosts research and public events with them.
He has worked closely with the late Ray Gosling and with Ray's family and friends to transfer to the University and catalogue the Ray Gosling Archive, an important resource for the study of regional, radical, community-based and media writing.
Professor Goodridge has worked collaboratively with Dr Juan Christian Pellicer of Oslo University on editions of the poets John Dyer and John Philips.
He regards research as an inherently collaborative activity, and has worked on a number of other collaborative projects and will continue to work in this way where possible.
Selected publications

Randy Travis fans have been looking for updates on the star and now they are out. On Feb. 8, Taste of Country shared that he made his first public appearance since he had his stroke. He went to the Smiles For Life concert in Texas. Neal McCoy even shared a picture of the two of them together.
In this picture, Randy has a smile on his face. He is holding a bottle of water, but he is sitting down. It does look like he is in a wheelchair. This does look like he is doing great and moving on. Pictures have been coming out of him, but this is the first time at a public event.
Neal McCoy shared the photo on his Facebook page and fans of Randy Travis are overjoyed to see him out and about again. It is nice to see that he is on the mend. His father did share recently that his voice is starting to come back. Everyone has dreams that someday they will hear him sing again.

Predictive dialers are a cost-effective solution for call centers all over the globe as this technology helps improve call center efficiency by reducing agents' time spent on the phone. It also increases agent productivity as it ensures speedy dialing and a higher number of calls per hour than other dialing methods.
To further enhance the reach of predictive dialer technology, recently Voice2Phone, a supplier of predictive dialer software, launched a reseller program that allows third-party vendors to sell and distribute Voice2Phone's results-drive technology.
The company leverages advanced Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology and Session Initiation Protocol (News - Alert) (SIP) powering an innovative solution to customers. The predictive dialer software offers two VoIP auto dialer platforms – Recorded Message or Live Operator – to meet the different types of demands from different types of customers.
The Voice Broadcasting Auto Dialer edition calls each number on the client's list and delivers a customized recorded message. And the Auto Dialer Operator, on the other hand, is a predictive dialer system that dials targeted individuals and then transfers the call to a live operator once the call is answered.
The huge advantage of Voice2Phone SIP packages are that they are fullly compatible with Microsoft (News - Alert) Windows and require only a computer with a sound card and an Internet connection to work successfully. The system can be installed easily, so even inexperienced employees and volunteers can learn to use it in just a few minutes.
It is crucial that these dialers are compliant with both federal and state legislation. A recent TMCnet article highlights that using a predictive dialer to perform outbound call center activities may result in compliance issues if not used correctly.
In fact, in a case with potentially wide-ranging implications for compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit found that an organization that places an automated call to a reassigned number without the prior consent of the new recipient may be held liable for statutory damages, even if the previous subscriber with that number had consented to the automated calls.
Related definitions that you should know as you increase your understanding of predictive dialers include:
Dialer: generic term for any computer-driven device that places outbound calls and connects the answered calls to an agent or operator.
Agent: telephone professional to whom a predictive dialer sends the ready call.
Predictive Dialer: Predictive dialing was introduced for the purpose of increasing efficiency within calling centers. They are computer based system that automatically dial groups of telephone numbers, and then passes live calls to available agents. The SpitFire Enterprise dialer utilizes sophisticated algorithms to speed up and slow down the call rate based on, number of available agents, number of available lines, the campaign's average call time and other statistical information.
Quick Connect: Quick Connect allows your agents to log in one-to-one with a phone line. This option is great for B2B purposes, especially when your agent needs to be on the phone line through the entire call.
Fixed Dialing: Fixed Dialing gives your call center manager the power to manually set the volume of calls. The software will then automatically dial a predetermined number of lines per agent. Fixed dialing is ideal for political campaigns, charity campaigns, and other situations drop call ratios are not a factor.
Auto dialer: makes thousands of calls screening for busy signals, no answers, fax machines while detecting answering machines/voicemail and delivers pre-recorded messages. SpitFireX Auto Dialer is a low cost solution for voice broadcasting.
Predictive dialers use complex mathematical algorithms that calculate, in real time:
SpitFire Enterprise Predictive SEP is a fully blended call center solution that supports unlimited lines, agents, and campaigns. Its greatest strength is in its flexibility: multiple campaigns can be set up, viewed, and changed with the click of a button. With easy options for customization, data and dispositions can be catered to each campaign. In addition to our user-friendly interface, SEPhighlights full customer data and combines multiple campaigns on one screen. All the information your agents need is accessible at a glance, freeing their energy to focus on what matters: the calls.
Keep It Simple with SpitFire Fully Integrated Call Center Software
Our greatest priority is making your call center run smoothly, and we do that by developing software that is intuitive and easily integrated with your current systems.

The Politics of Compassion provides a critical overview of the role of the emotions in politics. Compassion is a politically charged virtue, and yet we know suprisingly little about the uses (and abuses) of compassion in political environments. Covering sociology, political theory and psychology, and with contributions from Martha Nussbaum and Andrew Linklater amongst others, the book gives a succinct overview of the main theories of political compassion and the emotions in politics. It covers key concepts such as humanitarianism, political emotion and agency in relation to compassion as a political virtue. The Politics of Compassion will provide students and scholars scholars in political theory, international relations, political sociology and psychology with a comprehensive exposition and assessment of the politics of compassion.

Iconoclastic prospect guru Kevin Goldstein has weighed in on the Nationals system as part of his regular "Future Shock" series. In addition to ranking the Top 11, he breaks them down into the more aesthetic star system (two-star, three-star, etc.), then names nine more. In short, the four- and five-star guys are like Sickels's Grade-B or better. Without further ado:
1. Harper *****
2. Rendon *****
3. Purke ****
4. Goodwin ***
5. Meyer ***
6. Hood ***
7. Taylor ***
8. Lombardozzi ***
9. Ray ***
10. Solis ***
11. T. Moore **
12. Marrero
13. E. Perez
14. Walters
15. Jordan+
16. Smoker
17. Martinson
18. Skole
19. Leon
20. Freitas
+I asked him via Twitter regarding Jordan and he replied that pre-surgery, Jordan might have been #11.
Like most of the prospect gurus, Goldstein points to the Gio Gonzalez trade as "thinning" to the system but believes the '11 Draft could eventually replace the players lost. As many of you have noted in the comments, the GG trade has knocked the system back, but perhaps only to where it was a year ago.
Still, let's not forget that as the parent club improves, the job of reloading becomes more difficult. The new CBA also will be a factor, though I think a lot of the early "Omigod, we'll never get another Bubba Starling!"
screeching analysis was overwrought.
Click through on the link above to read his quick takes on the "Nine More" and for you Harper fanboys, Goldstein included the writeup on him. The rest, alas, is for the paid subs (sorry).
8 Responses to "Kevin Goldstein Ranks The Top 11 Nats Prospects"
Good to see Moore get recognition over Marrero.
The ball jumps off Moore's bat like few minor leaguers I've seen.
Though, he's likely headed the way of Mike Hessman, I wish him the best of luck!
Interesting to see KG's take on Purke, which is more optimistic than any of the other rankings I've seen.
Also interesting to note that he describes Harper, Rendon, Purke, Goodwin, Meyer and Taylor as having "star" potential. It's great to see that even after the trade, there are so many high-ceiling players left in the system. I'd attribute this in large part to Rizzo's drafting philosophy. KG called him "one of the best GMs in MLB" after the Gio extension.
I'd like to know what many of you think of Kevin Keyes. He barely gets any mention for these types of lists, but he really came on strong last season. Sleeper prospect or not?
Has some work to do defensively, but no denying his power.
I like Solis over Ray, but I guess Ray is quite a bit younger. Also, interesting to see 3 of the top 5 from the 11 draft without proving themselves outside of college. Can't wait to see a full season stats for those 3.
Where is Rosenbaum on this list? In my book he has to be at least in the 12 spot.
I'm glad Nick brought up Keyes; he's no spring chicken, but was really raking in the 2nd half last year.
Now that the fat guy has signed with Detroit, there's room to move up for guys like Tyler Moore & Kevin Keyes.

Tim Saxton enrolled in the only Advanced Placement course that Boardman High School offered when he attended in the early 1980s.
When he became principal of his alma mater in 2001, the district still offered only AP calculus. But since 2004, that has changed. Boardman's current AP classes — seven — are on par with larger Ohio high schools.
As early as their sophomore year, Boardman students now have the opportunity to take AP courses that challenge and prepare them for college education.
Saxton is among many school officials who believe a strong AP program is essential for student success in college.
High school graduates who take advantage of AP classes can knock out college classes at a fraction of the price. Some enter college as sophomores, bypassing an entire year of school. For college admissions officers, success in AP classes indicates a student's determination and academic achievement.
But offering AP courses isn't an option for every school. The majority of Valley districts struggle to offer any AP option.
Mahoning and Trumbull districts average fewer than two AP classes each. More than a third of the districts offer none. Schools that offer no AP sections are typically smaller, rural districts that lack qualified teachers and the number of students needed to fill AP classrooms.
It's an issue of staff and students, not dollars.
"Typically schools don't see the cost of AP as being as much of a barrier as how do we find teachers that we can ensure are going to be qualified to teach college-level courses in our school," said Trevor Packer, vice president of the College Board, the national group that oversees all AP offerings in America.
"Even though the costs of offering AP itself are not significant, if the school has a small number of students [they may have to choose], 'Are we going to allocate a teacher to teach an AP section or a non-AP section?" Packer said.
Taxpayers ultimately fund the courses. School administrators must justify offering AP classes by filling the seats.
"When we offer an AP class, we need to have at least 15, 20, 25 kids in a class to be accountable to the community," Saxton said. "I wish we had the luxury of having a faculty in which we could afford to teach a class and pay for someone to teach a class with 10 to 15 students. Times have changed."
Though Boardman and other larger districts rely on numbers to fill AP sections, rural schools such as Bloomfield suffer from smaller class sizes, making it difficult to create and fill an AP class.
Bloomfield last offered AP calculus three year ago. With one student enrolled, the class was cut from the high school's curriculum after the only certified teacher left.
The district, like others, relies on partnerships with Eastern Gateway Community College, Youngstown State University and Kent State University Trumbull Campus to build dual credit courses that outsource college credit coursework.
Lacking AP sections isn't just a local problem.
According to a national study conducted by ProPublica, a national reporting organization, the state overall has fallen behind.
Ohio school districts with more than 3,000 students offer seven AP classes on average. The national average for that size district is 8.35 classes.
Mahoning and Trumbull counties have six school districts with more than 3,000 students. But only two — Boardman and Warren — meet the statewide average of seven classes. Austintown offers three. Canfield, Howland and Youngstown high schools all offer two AP classes.
Canfield High School Principal John Tullio has applied for and received an advanced-placement network grant through the Ohio Department of Education. Starting next year, Tullio plans to double the school's two AP courses with the grant funds.
"We want to stay competitive," Tullio said. "We want to stay on top of the game and offer the best for our students. And that's the reason for expansion."
Of the 13 school districts with fewer than 1,000 students, only two offer AP classes.
Maplewood and Joseph Badger districts offer four and five AP classes respectively.
"One of the things we do is run very [efficiently]," said Joseph Badger Principal Edwin Baldwin.
With support from the board of education, Baldwin analyzes course offerings and class sizes, much as other districts do.
If half of the 120 high school juniors and seniors enroll in an upper-level course like psychology, then the district adds AP psychology to the curriculum and expects 15 to 20 students to register. That is the case for AP psychology this year.
"We decided we are going to give those kids every chance to get college credit and just implement the AP program," Baldwin said.
The AP courses at Joseph Badger often replace similar honors classes. This avoids additional expenses of hiring another teacher or adding another class.
"It's the only way that we can do it," Baldwin said.
He also requires his AP teachers to instruct freshman courses. This lets the teachers become recruiters for prospective AP students who are encouraged to enroll in honors classes by their sophomore year. Honors classes pipeline students into AP courses.
"[Recruiting is] how we keep these courses viable and how we keep them alive," Baldwin said.
Teachers undergo training at colleges and programs accredited by the College Board to become certified to teach AP courses. The cost of training teachers is often reimbursed by the district. Training costs, from $1,500 to $4,000, vary by institution. Some take college workshops or online training programs. Most use AP training to fulfill their obligation as educators to further their education.
To gain college credit for successfully completing AP class, students must pass an $87 exam offered in May. The federal government subsidizes this fee for students who receive free or reduced lunch.
Officials are concerned some students in impoverished districts cannot afford the $87 AP final exam fee — even though it pales in comparison to hundreds of dollars in college tuition that would have been paid. Not all students who qualify for federal subsidy enroll in the free or reduced lunch program, and therefore do not receive aid for taking the AP exam.
The benefit of successfully completing an AP course depends on the college.
Tara Milliken, an admissions counselor at The Ohio State University, said accelerated courses in the AP program better prepare students for college, but they are not a primary consideration for admission.
"I think any time a student is able to take a more rigorous course. that better prepares them for the academic challenges they may face," Milliken said. "It works in their favor."
At YSU, an open- enrollment institution, AP classes have no bearing on admissions, according to Sue Davis, director of undergraduate admissions.
However, Davis also sees the benefit of offering college-level courses in high school.
"It gives students a little bit of an idea of what is going to be required in college," she said, "because they will be required to do a lot more with this AP course than they would in a typical high school course."
Boardman senior Evan Heintz embraces the options his school provides and hopes to skip a couple of courses heading into college so he's "not so lost."
"It's a big advantage for Boardman students to have a lot of AP classes to choose from. It gives us a ton of options. So it gives us opportunities to succeed," Heintz said.

Interesting article. Compliments go to nearby Salem High School which has offered AP courses for over 20 years and lists on its website at least 8 AP classes among its present courses.
Face it, AP courses aren't here because there aren't the academically advanced students in these schools.
Education performance has been either declining or stagnating depending on who you speak to.
SAT scores in many places have actually decreased.
This all continues as we dumb down the level for passing. We are educating students to the lowest common denominator which is essentially a no man's land of hopelessness and few opportunities.
Most districts probably spend several times more on sports than advanced academic pursuits.
The future isn't in this region, it's in the new immigrants of the south and west who work like many of ancestors did, hard. People who know what family is and remain together benefiting one another.
A region like this should look more at going backwards in time to more simple and primitive necessary skills - see Amish.
There's no shame in this backwards to go forwards approach. It just isn't deep in consumerism and useless discards of humanity.
Would be a far more appealing and quaint place - my opinion.
The article failed to mention any of the private schools. Ursuline offers 8 Advanced Placement courses
This article is great! First, Ap classes are very important. Our top valley high school students do NOT track into medical school at Ohio State or University of Pitt or Casewestern. Most of them struggle to perform and succeed in college and end up giving up their dreams or barely making it into a low ranking school. THis is not acceptable. The reason for this is that our public schools do not offer AP science classes. You simply cant compete in college with the kids who have taken them. Second, there is hope. If you have high ambitions, you had better go to Ursuline where they have EIGHT AP classes and are preparing our top academic kids to compete. Do your research on these high schools. They could definitely shift some funds from athletics to academics. It is about time!

With the economy tanking and schools closing and teachers being laid off as a result, some schools are afraid to ask parents to volunteer. If as a parent you want to get involve, go to your child's front office and sign up to volunteer weekly. When you sign up, inform the volunteer coordinator that you are willing to help in the areas listed below and note the surprised but pleased expressions when the staff realized that you are serious.
Lunch room monitor
The cafeteria is a place of noise and havoc. Different grades march into the cafeteria at different times for different reasons. Every school has a great lunch time system but volunteers are always needed because lunch is a time to vent for many if not all students. If uncertain about this, walk by the cafeteria, the noise level is like an orchestra tuning their instruments before the curtain goes up.
Clerical work
The front office is always in need of volunteers. Take home notes should be xeroxed, sorted and distributed. Files should be sorted and organized. The front office staff is usually so bogged down with incoming calls and students that these basic clerical duties are usually neglected.
Bus duty
Ever observe a school campus as students arrive and depart? It is a busy time and yes there is a system in place but because there are so many students, volunteers are always needed. Volunteering parents are always welcomed but because of the influx of arrival and level of exodus, school staff are afraid to ask parents to volunteer. If you are not use to the noise and number of students, it can be an intimidating experience.
An outing
Class trips can also be intimidating but parents are always welcomed. Students are usually very hyper at school outings and while they are on their best behavior, they can be tiring even if it is a short period of time.
If you can be a committed volunteer in these areas, your child will be happy because he or she will love having you on campus and the school so overjoyed by your presence might give you a most valuable award.

Libya Says It Will Release Times Journalists Today
Four New York Times journalists held since Tuesday by pro-Qaddafi forces in Libya will be released today, Libyan government officials have told the US State Department. The Libyan government says that the four journalists, who include photographers Lynsey Addario and Tyler Hicks, were arrested in Ajdabiya when the Libyan army swept into the rebel-controlled city.
The Times reported on Wednesday that Addario, Hicks, the Times Beirut bureau chief, Anthony Shadid, and reporter and videographer Stephen Farrell were missing, having last made contact with editors on Tuesday. The Times reports today that the four entered the rebel-controlled eastern region without visas via the Egypt-Libya border.
In an interview with CNN, Seif Islam el-Qaddafi, son of Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Qaddafi, said via a translator, "They entered the country illegally and when the army, when they liberated the city of Ajdabiya from the terrorists and they found her, they arrest her because you know, foreigners in this place." He added, "But then they were happy because they found out she is American, not European. And thanks to that, she will be free tomorrow." Qaddafi was probably referring to photographer Addario, but according to the Times, Libyan officials informed the State Department on Thursday evening that all four would be released on Friday.
(Seif Islam el-Qaddafi has previously met Addario. In 2004, Addario photographed him and his father on assignment for Time magazine.)
When the Times reported the journalists were missing, Times editor Bill Keller said in a statement, "We have talked with officials of the Libyan government in Tripoli, and they tell us they are attempting to ascertain the whereabouts of our journalists."

By being grounded in its content, educators would be better outfitted to ensure urban youths acquire a universal academic curiosity, a global perspective, technological skills, sociability skills, and the awareness necessary to succeed – not only in college or the workplace, but…[in our] fast-paced diverse world, dynamic global economy, fluid geopolitical system, multiple-language world – and [to become] engaged citizens and contributors to the world community.» (Julian Stafford, EdD, Vice President for Marketing, Modern Parents Magazine)
«This is an optimistic book. The issues, challenges, and pressures that impact the educational experiences and outcomes of African American youth in urban schools are recounted here but are only part of the story. The book also offers credible and hopeful guidance that strengthens our capacity and our commitment to improve urban schools for the benefit of the learners they serve. This volume is a tremendous resource for all of us who care about the educational futures of our children.» (Mary Lynne Calhoun, PhD, Dean, College of Education, University of North Carolina at Charlotte)
