Saturday, Jan. 28 • 7 p.m. CT
American Bank Center (8,100) • Corpus Christi, Texas
RADIO: NewsRadio 1360 AM KKTX (Steven King)
LIVE VIDEO/STATS: GoIslanders.com
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi returns to the American Bank Center in search of its third straight victory, as Stephen F. Austin comes to town for Homecoming on Saturday at 7 p.m. The game will also feature Suits and Sneakers weekend, as part of the NABC's Coaches vs. Cancer initiative. The game will air live on NewsRadio 1360 KKTX and GoIslanders.com with Steven King on the call.
The Islanders have won consecutive games to vault into seventh place in the Southland Conference with their 3-4 league record. A&M - Corpus Christi knocked off Sam Houston State on the road, 50-49, last week before downing Texas State 74-68 at home on Wednesday night. Terence Jones netted a career-high 33 points in the victory over the Bobcats.
Stephen F. Austin brings a 4-2 conference record into Saturday's affair, with its only two losses to the league's top two teams, UTSA and UT Arlington. The Lumberjacks are the only school in the nation that has not allowed an opponent to score 70 points this year, and are coming off a 67-66 overtime win over Sam Houston State.
• Terence Jones scored a career-high 33 points last game on 9-of-18 shooting and a 13-of-14 outing at the line. It was the most points by an Islander since Kevin Palmer scored 35 against UT Arlington on March 12, 2009.
• Chris Hawkins-Mast delivered his first career double-double against the Bobcats, snaring a career-best 11 rebounds to go along with 17 points.
• The Islanders' "big three" of Jones, Hawkins-Mast and Myron Dempsey combined to go 20-of-39 from the field and 20-of-27 from the free-throw line. They scored 62 of the Islanders' season-high 74 points.
• A&M - Corpus Christi shot a season-best 72.7 percent from the line, going 24-of-33 against Texas State.
• Hameed Ali buried his second game-winning shot of the year, when his jumper swished with 0.3 seconds remaining on Saturday. He also had the winning three against Utah State, and narrowly missed a buzzer-beating winner against South Alabama.
• Comebacks have become commonplace for the Islanders. They rallied from an 11-point deficit against Texas State and a 16-point margin at SHSU.
• Johnathan Jordan is on pace to challenge the school record for assists (132). He leads the league with 4.3 assists per game overall.
Stephen F. Austin brings a 10-9 overall record and a 4-2 league mark into this weekend. The Lumberjacks' deliberate pace has slowed even the best offenses this year, and SFA has allowed just 55.2 points per game on the season. The win over SHSU on Wednesday broke a two-game losing string after the team had opened league play 3-0.
Preseason All-SLC selection Jereal Scott leads the offense with his 13.7 points per game and the big man has also averaged 5.4 rebounds. Antonio Bostic has also chipped in 10.3 points per affair, as Danny Kaspar's crew has eight different players averaging at least four points.
Terence Jones scored a career-high 33 points to lead Texas A&M – Corpus Christi to a 74-68 win over Texas State Wednesday night at the American Bank Center. The Islanders closed the game on a 24-10 run.
Jones' 33 were the most by an Islanders player since Kevin Palmer netted 35 against UT Arlington on March 12, 2009. The junior went 9-of-18 from the field and 13-of-14 from the free-throw line. Chris Hawkins-Mast added 17 points and a career-best 11 rebounds for his first career double-double, while Myron Dempsey added 12 points and eight boards.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi brings a 3-7 all-time record against Stephen F. Austin into Saturday's game. The Islanders are just 1-3 against SFA in Corpus Christi, the lone win coming in the 2007 Southland Championship season. Since knocking off SFA twice that year, A&M - Corpus Christi is 1-7 against the 'Jacks with the only win a 46-45 win in Nacogdoches last year.
Junior Terence Jones had delivered some big games this year, but against Texas State, he brought his game into another gear. Playing in front of his son (Terence III) for the first time in Corpus Christi, the elder Terence netted a career-high 33 points on 9-of-18 shooting and 13-of-14 from the free-throw line.
The 33 points were the most by an Islanders player since Kevin Palmer scored 35 against UT Arlington on March 12, 2009, in the Southland Conference Tournament. Most impressive was the manner in which he scored his 33, as he did much of his damage on the drive as opposed to from the outside. He went 7-for-11 inside the arc and also used his drive to get to the stripe, where he came up just three FT shy of the school record.Jones now has 117 career threes, putting him fifth in Islanders lore.
Senior Chris Hawkins-Mast had been somewhat quiet for the last several games, though he recently had a string of eight straight games in double-figure scoring. Still, he was lacking a standout contest.
He got just that against Texas State, notching his first career double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds. His runner in the lane gave the Islanders a 69-68 lead they would not relinquish in the closing minutes. He also grabbed a defensive rebound with the Islanders holding a 71-68 lead shortly thereafter.
Perhaps the most positive number was his 7-of-10 performance from the free-throw line, as the Washington, D.C., native has had struggles from the stripe throughout his Islanders career. He is second behind Myron Dempsey with his 128 points in the paint.
In the Islanders' win over Texas State, the top three scorers – Terence Jones, Chris Hawkins-Mast and Myron Dempsey – carried the lion's share of the load on the offensive end. The three combined to go 20-of-39 (the rest of the team was 3-of-18) and scored 62 of the team's 74 points. They also did the bulk of their damage in close, as they combined for 30 of the Islanders' 32 points in the paint.
It is well documented that the Islanders have had their struggles from the free-throw line this season. Entering Wednesday's contest, the team was shooting just 59 percent at the stripe.
Led by Terence Jones' 13-of-14 performance, the Islanders shot a season-best 72.7 percent from the line, outscoring the Bobcats by 10 at the stripe. Just as important were the free throws in the clutch, as Johnathan Jordan knocked down two in the final minute to push the Islanders' lead to 71-68.

Will Tom Cruise Hurt 'Edge of Tomorrow' at Box Office?
"Edge of Tomorrow" is poised to be Hollywood's first big budget flop of the summer and the question is already flying through Hollywood: Is the reason that it's an original concept that people aren't interested in among a slew of sequels, or is it star Tom Cruise?
See a slideshow of Tom Cruise's recent films.
Pre-release surveys (known as "tracking" inside Hollywood) indicate the film will open this weekend to between $25 million and $30 million domestically, a bad start for a movie that cost about $175 million to make. Overseas, where the film has collected $26 million so far, expectations are a bit higher but still not strong, said a person close to the picture.
Despite the claims of many in the public that they want more originality on the big screen, films like "Edge" that aren't a sequel or an adaptation of a well known property have a weak track record. Every single hit so far this summer season ("Amazing Spider-Man 2," "Godzilla," "X-Men: Days of Future Past," "Maleficent") falls in the latter category.
Last summer's biggest flops, meanwhile, are all examples of the former, including "Turbo," "RIPD," "Pacific Rim," "White House Down" and "After Earth." The only exception may be "The Lone Ranger," though the classic TV and radio show hardly has resonance among people under 50.
"Edge of Tomorrow" is based on a Japanese book, "All You Need is Kill," that's little known outside of its home country.
"Everybody says they want something original and fresh, but we always have such a tough time with original concepts," said Sue Kroll, president of worldwide marketing at Warner Bros.
Still, based on overwhelmingly positive reviews and strong responses in screenings with regular moviegoers, Ms. Kroll said she remains optimistic: "I don't like how the tracking looks, of course, but I don't think it's telling the whole story."
Another potential reason for the movie's uphill climb lies with the man whose name is above the title and is front and center in every advertisement. In the 1990s, Mr. Cruise was an unstoppable force at the box office. Between 1992 and 1996 he starred in five movies in a row that all grossed more than $100 million — some dramas ("A Few Good Men"), some big-budget action ("Mission: Impossible") and some romantic ("Jerry Maguire").
But in the 2000s, the power of A-list stars at the box office has faded, particularly in the U.S., and Mr. Cruise has been among the victims. Since 2005, he has not starred in a single movie that grossed more than $100 million domestically save for two "Mission: Impossible" sequels.
The other seven movies in which he has starred included outright flops like "Lions for Lambs" and "Rock of Ages" (in which he played a prominent supporting role but was not a lead), disappointments-but-not-disasters such as "Knight & Day," and modest successes, all of which did better overseas, like "Jack Reacher" and "Oblivion."
Still, as a movie star for more than 30 years and a man whose personal life regularly makes tabloid headlines, Mr. Cruise remains one of the world's most famous faces. Warner has used it to full advantage, including a whirlwind series of three premieres last Wednesday in London, Paris and New York, all on a single day.
"We had to build several hours into the schedule in each city for him to sign autographs," noted Ms. Kroll. "He works so hard and puts himself out there. I think it's a little unfair and too easy to blame Tom for these things."

In the 1960s, the F truck (without a bonnet, with the engine under the cab) became more and more dominant in European and global heavy-duty transport. This was a trend particularly set by a leading German manufacturer that wanted to rationalise the manufacture of its trucks due to the dominance of F trucks in Germany.
For the two Swedish manufacturers, each with a major part of the sales in every area of the world outside their home market, it was natural to continue to offer 'conventional' trucks (as they are called in North America and elsewhere) of modern design.
The future of the N truck
In the late 1960s, Volvo faced large investments. The N trucks (N86 and N88) were in design terms almost unchanged since 1951 (when the L39 Titan was introduced) and the number of N trucks were decreasing, since F trucks were constantly increasing their share of the total truck population.
But Volvo was convinced that the N truck had a future for distinct transport operations and for several markets. The management of the new 'Volvo Truck Division' decided to go ahead with a completely new truck project, which would also use the as yet secret 12-litre engine of the F89/G89.
Combining great strength with light weight
The N truck was designed with rugged strength and transport economy in mind. Low weight in combination with the ability to cope with even the toughest transport tasks were priority targets in the development process. One typical example of this was the completely new frame rail design, which was developed together with Swedish steel producers.
To combine great strength with light weight, the frame rails had different thickness in vertical and horizontal parts. This was one of the reasons behind the light weight of this truck, an optimised cab, fibreglass bonnet and ultra-efficient engines with turbocharger being other weight-saving features.
A truly global truck…
The N truck became a global truck in the true sense of this word. Even if Scandinavia was a typical home market for the N7, N10 and N12, Australian Roadtrains were often hauled by the N12. For the Volvo expansion in North America it was vital to be able to offer a modern conventional truck. For this reason the N10 was introduced in the United States in 1978 as a semi-trailer tractor.
Later also the N12 with its bigger engine and dumper trucks were introduced into North America. In Brazil, the N trucks were introduced in 1980, and have since been (together with its successors NL10/NL12 and the NH) a platform for the Volvo success in South America.
…gaining wide acceptance
One of the reasons behind the wide acceptance of the N10 and N12 trucks were the extremely tough double-drive 6x4 T-ride bogie, with its extremely good adhesion to the ground which meant that a 6x4 Volvo N truck could often compete with all-wheel-drive trucks when it came to cross-country mobility (all-wheel-drive N trucks were also available, for applications where maximum off-road capability was necessary).
The new product designation
With the N trucks, the new system for Volvo truck product designation was introduced; 'N' or 'F' designated whether the truck had a bonnet or not, while a figure designated the approximate size of the engine in litres.
The N truck was available with day cab, sleeper cab or crew cab, which meant that there was always a correct cab variant available for every transport application.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Appeal Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Lord Justice PillTable of Contents
|<< The Bombing of Dresden
|< Background
|Hitler as a friend >
|Result >>
Holocaust denial
92. This issue has taken a very subsidiary place at the hearing and in our judgment rightly so. It can be dealt with briefly. The expression "Holocaust denial" has achieved currency because of claims that the Holocaust did not occur and books written in reaction to those claims. Professor Lipstadt's book is entitled "Denying the Holocaust" and bears the sub-title "The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory". The first words in the preface to the original edition are: "When I first began studying holocaust denial ...". In his conclusion on meaning the judge by inference defined the Holocaust as the "deliberate planned extermination of Jews" "embarked upon" by the Nazis.
93. The judge was entitled to hear Professor Evans's view upon the meaning of the expression. We are not persuaded that the expression can be given any precise technical meaning or that "Holocaust denier" defines a class of persons precisely. Having regard to the views expressed by the applicant about a range of events in the history of the Third Reich, we agree with the judge that the applicant may be described as a Holocaust denier. We acknowledge that he has over the years modified, and in some respects significantly modified, his views upon some of the relevant events. However, the respondents were justified in describing him as "one of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial" having regard to the views he has expressed and in some respects persisted in, and the manner and force with which he has expressed them. The use of the word "dangerous" was justified by reason of his historiographical methods considered by the judge and in this judgment.

hi there! i am a horrible friend, i realized i never wrote back to you about Cirque de Soleil...so this looks like a pretty good place to do so.ReplyDelete
It was good, I had never been to a show before, but the people who had said this was a good one. (It's called "Corteo".
I was really, really impressed...the music was good & the talent was excellent. I went with customers, so it was a work event.
If I had paid for my own tickets, I certainly would not have been disappointed, but I'm not sure if I would be dying to go back, you know what I mean? So moral of the story: it's a really good show, it would be worth it for the experience, but it wasn't "the best ever!" kind of thing, in my opinion.
Anyway, hope this helps...have SO MUCH FUN with your mom in town, I'm jealous!!

"What are you thankful for?" Somehow the question seems to have been blurred with the static of everyday challenges. Black Friday sales, traffic jams or what to bring to Thanksgiving dinner. Being thankful means different things.
For a refreshing point of view, the Telegram & Gazette posed the question to children at Why Me & Sherry's House on Pleasant Street in Worcester. Why Me helps families in the region cope with childhood cancer. Sherry's House gives kids and families a place to unwind beyond the walls of a hospital.
In this slideshow, you'll meet the children and get their unique take on what Thanksgiving means to them.

Main Page | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Screening | Reducing Your Risk | Talking to Your Doctor | Living With COPD | Resource Guide
Nearly all cases of COPD can be prevented. Practice these preventive measures to reduce your risk of developing COPD.
Almost all COPD cases are caused by cigarette smoking. Never smoking, or quitting if you already smoke, are the single most important steps you can take to reduce your risk of developing COPD. This preventive measure is particularly important if you have family members who developed COPD at a young age (in their 30s or 40s).
Avoid exposure to:
Be aware of air pollution alerts. Avoid outdoor activities when air quality is particularly poor. Do not exercise in areas where levels of car exhaust are high.
Repeated lower respiratory infections, pneumonia , and bronchitis can produce scarring. This is particularly true in young children. Scarring contributes to the development of COPD. Whenever possible, try to avoid close contact with people who have contagious respiratory infections. Get a pneumonia vaccination if you are 65 years or older, or have risk factors for pneumonia. Make sure you get yearly flu shots .
If someone in your family developed COPD but never smoked, or developed the disease at an early age, you may have a genetic defect that increases your risk of the disease. You should consider having a blood test to measure levels of alpha-1-antitrypsin. This is an important protein that helps protect the lungs from damage due to inflammation. Low levels of this protein increase your risk of developing COPD. You should discuss this with your doctor.

I had to spend 9 hours in Miami, waiting for a connecting flight. 9 hours wasn't quite long enough to go out and about, but was long enough to get bored to death.
So, I decided that I would pay $7.95 for a "day pass" for the Wifi connection. The WiFi connection at the Miami airport is managed by people who don't seem to know enough about computers to manage a home gaming LAN, let alone use Microsoft Server software for a real-life application (and, surprise surprise, nothing works).
What happened while I was trying to get my connection is simply unreal. It's a story that is just hard to believe. Normally, when you are in a per-pay Wifi network and haven't paid, you are redirected to the system's home page. In this case, it didn't happen—not easily. The redirection was glitchy and the WiFi home page had broken images.
There were other people using laptops. So, I asked around: "Are you getting wireless?". We became a little club of unhappy WiFi users at Miami airport. I guess I did what I normally do—try to get things to work, somehow. I started going around asking for information. The hotel reception (which hosted the access point) had no idea what I was talking about when I said "Wifi". The "Information" desk told me to go to ugly, expensive Internet kiosks. Another employee told me "We don't have no Internet here", but he was probably annoyed because I interrupted his personal phone call when I asked for help.
I went back. One of the people in our "WiFi club" was Allison from IBM Toronto Development Lab. Allison was on the phone with tech support. Well, so much for my macho "I'll fix it" attitude... she had already gone much further that me! The number for support was 877 294 9434.
I asked her to pass me the phone as well. I discovered that they were "working on the servers and rebooting them", and that the system should be back online in "ten minutes or so".
I asked: "You use Microsoft servers, don't you?" Unix servers very rarely need reboots.
"Yes, we do."
"Gee good luck, I feel for you"
"Yeah, I know, I do too."
Great. I hung up.
Allison was given a longer explanation: they said "We are expanding our network, that's why we had to shut down the servers, so we now need to reconnect them and reboot them". That's Windows for you. After a little while I managed to purchase (let me emphasise this better: PURCHASE) a login and a password throught their web site. This is it, I thought. I am in. I receive login and password:
Your UserId is: jdw08313
Your Password is: jdw08313
This is when this story becomes sadly funny. When I typed the user name and the password in the login screen, I got this nice image:
Gee, the server is not good enough to actually say "thank you". Oh well... I could have lived with a bit of rudeness, if the connection was actually up. However... no, it wasn't. Still no connection.
However, Allison noticed that her connection was up! I don't normally feel envious. However... well, this time I just did, I must admit. Allison and I admitted that we were email junkies. She was about to get her fix. I... well, probably not. She opened her email, and she had her first nice surprise: three emails from the billing department at the airport. Allison was charged three times!
She called up to sort it out, selecting "billing enquiries". She looked at me. Smiled. It was a bitter smile.
"You're not gonna believe this. You really aren't. The message says that if you wish to get a refund, or ask a billing question, you need to send an email".
Of course I am not gonna believe this. I am not gonna believe it because I have experience with credit cards as a merchant, and I know that they can't do that. They need to provide billing helpdesk in order to honour their contacts with the credit card company.
I asked her to borrow her mobile phone again. I tried to call the support number back. I had to bear hearing a recorded voice that confirmed that their systems were functioning properly. Eventually, somebody picked up the phone. The conversation went like this:
"How can I help you?"
"I am at the Miami airport, and I am trying to connect to WiFi but It doesn't seem to (click)".
Allison confirmed that the same thing happened to her twice to her when she rang: the minute she mentioned "Miami" and "WiFi", the line went dead.
Even nicer.
I called back, again. This time I managed to keep the person on the line. He explained that they are restarting the servers, and would try to get an ETA. A few seconds later, he returned:
"It should work again in one hour or so."
I couldn't resist. "Well, since I was charged for a 1 day pass, can you please refund my credit card right away?"
"You need to call back and follow the menu options for that, sir".
"Err... yes, the trouble is, I am at the airport, and as you can probably guess, I will be in another country tomorrow. Allison just followed those instructions, and she was told that she should send an email. You know, I would love to send an email, but I'd really like to talk to somebody right now..."
"Sir, you need to call back and follow the instructions."
"Right. I'll call back and follow the instructions."
I hung up.
This sad story becomes worse. I connected to their server, and I got this page:
Under what?
The web server was IIS. Go figure.
I talked to Allison a bit. She told me what she does (she used to be a programmer!). At the end of our conversation, she gave me this link. She told me to go and check it out. I would have loved to, but I am stuck in Miami and...
Oh well. I guess it will need to wait till tomorrow.
So, here I am. I am in Miami, USA, I paid for my connection, and I can't connect to the internet.
Here is a point list, in semi-random orders:
- Anybody who uses Microsoft Server products for anything important or mission critical has a rather considerable IQ problem. I mean, I can't remember the last time I saw a Microsoft server under some stress and functioning properly. I can think of Helena, a friend of mine who had her account disabled because "Mac Mail had crashed the university's mail server". I can think of my bank, switching to Windows for Internet Banking, and then switching back to Unix after loosing countless customers and vast amounts of money. The list goes on and on. Mind you, I am talking about servers that do something—an IIS server that displays an "installation is successful" page doesn't count.
- The Miami Airport uses Microsoft Server products for something important.
- The IT people at Miami Airport should be sacked very, very quickly, because they used Microsoft servers that "needed to be rebooted to expand their network". Hello? Does anybody here know what a server actually is?
- I want my money back—NOW. The only reason why I don't feel like sending an invoice to Miami Airport is because I got to write a blog entry.
- The IT people at Miami Airport are inept, because 1) They charged my credit card while the servers were being maintained 2) They use Microsoft products 3) They were unhelpful from a technical point of view 4) They weren't even able to offer a refund on the spot given the circumstances
- If this is how Miami Airport's management deals with WiFi internet, I feel uneasy about flying in and out of their airspace.
- The IT people at Miami Airport are inept. No wait... did I say this already?
- We have a social responsibility to let managers know that we will not put up with Microsoft Server products doing anything remotely important. This is probably the most important part of this email.
- In Costa Rica, anybody gets free internet access after filling a simple questionnaire. The major difference is not that it's free— but that it works.
- I feel the need to make sure that their credit card merchant provider knows that they are not providing phone customer service (which they should), and are not delivering the product customers pay for. And... yes, get a refund.
From a human point of view, I really do feel for those poor system administrators who are trying to work out why the server... no, wait, the assembled PC with Windows NT 4 (I am only guessing). The "server" is probably giving a strange error message at boot time, or it has a corrupted registry, or whatever. I really, honestly, do feel for them from a human point of view. If I knew where they were, I'd make them tea, I'd tell jokes, I'd try to keep them smiling. From a professional perspective, they should learn Unix (GNU/Linux, AIX, Solaris, whatever), or find another job.
Not as bad as LA
At least you got a wiff of a wifi signal there. In fact, prior to my recent experiance stuck at LA for a similar stretch, I thought of the airport in Sofia (Bulgaria) as the worst in the world, only because they had people with guns that said I could not go to the plane that day, even though the plane was on the ground, waiting, and I was a half hour before departure. The driver of the bus that brings people to the planes did not want to make another trip...so I did not get to fly that day. People with guns indeed was hard to beat. But yet LA was worse.
Perhaps the first and most immediate challenge in LA is navigation. I got in around gate "62" with what was originally a "short" connection, I think, and had to go to something like gate "74". Hmm...the segment I was in had numbers like 60 through 67. The gate I wanted should be nearby, right?? No...Absolute other end of the airport!
Not that it mattered, because the flight was on a ground hold, and would remain so for the next 6 hours, though I did not know this when I started out on that journey. Terminals with departing flight information? I don't recall encountering any. Nor any bathrooms through 3 long walkways and several floors with escilators that did not work, and no attempt to even have people movers (which no doubt would not have worked there either if they had them...) until I did arrive into the little rabbit warren where the departing flight was hidden away.
Other distinguishing features of LA airport that I learned over the next 6 hours included the fact that their departure areas have far less seats than the planes they load, at least one power outage (I never saw that at an airport before, either), gate people that either would come late for their other flights, or yell at people, oh, and incidently no wifi at all (at least that day, I do not know if they were down or just did not have it). Overall a thourougly unpleasant experiance, even more so than people with guns, and behavior I have never seen repeated at any other airport anywhere in the world, even in Bulgaria.
MIA--wifi still missing in action?
Hi there, I'm flying into MIA tomorrow from MAD, and I'm wondering if anyone knows whether the connection is still as bad as all that. I was planning on working in the airport on my way out of MIA next week, part of my pact with my boss for letting me go out of the office for a long weekend.
Btw, FLL does have free wifi throughout its airport, and it works really well. The only issue with FLL airport is that they have blocked all of their wall outlets, so you need to sit next to a cash machine outside of the bathroom in order to keep your laptop going (unless you have a super-long life battery that will last you through the flight, as well).
Shouldn't all airports offer free wifi by now?
I don't know...
I think that all airports should have free internet access.
However, this is not happening yet.
Sorry, I don't know if MIA's situation has improved...
same thing in Miami
just had the same experience in miami this weekend. all set to kill two hours and get some work done, paid my $9.95 (that's right - 2 bucks more than you) and got no access, a broken support link, and a series of maddening phone prompts that followed a circle to nowhere (i.e., never to a human being.) it's amazing that they take your money just like that with no follow-up. but i guess we're all dopes for forking over the credit cards so easily.
The same thing happened to me. I´ll avoid that airport as far as I can. It´s a mess, from their fraudulent WIFI to their horrible installations.

Bhramari pranayama is very effective in instantly calming your mind down. It is one of the best breathing exercises to release the mind of agitation, frustration or anxiety and get rid of anger. A simple-to-do technique, can be practiced anywhere at work or home, and an instant option available to de-stress yourself.
This breathing technique derives its name from the black Indian bee called Bhramari. (Bhramari = type of Indian bee; pranayama = breathing technique)
The exhalation in this pranayama resembles the typical humming sound of a bee, which explains why it is named so.
How To Practice Bhramari Pranayama (Bee Breath)
- 1. Sit up straight in a quiet, well ventilated corner with your eyes closed. Keep a gentle smile on your face.
- 2. Place your index fingers on your ears. There is a cartilage between your cheek and ear. Place your index fingers on the cartilage.
- 3. Take a deep breath in and as you breathe out, gently press the cartilage. You can keep the cartilage pressed or press it in and out with your fingers, while making a loud humming sound like a bee.
- 4. You can also make a low-pitched sound but it is a good idea to make a high-pitched one for better results.
Breathe in again and continue the same pattern for 6-7 times.
Keep your eyes closed for some time. Observe the sensations in the body and the quietness within. You can also practice Bhramari pranayama lying on your back or lying on your right. While practicing the pranayama while lying down, just make the humming sound and do not worry about keeping your index finger on the ear. You can practice the Bee pranayama 3-4 times every day.
Benefits Of Bhramari Pranayama (Bee Breath)
- Instant way to relieve tension, anger and anxiety. It is a very effective breathing technique for people suffering from hypertension as it calms down the agitated mind.
- Gives relief if you're feeling hot or have a slight headache
- Helps mitigate migraines
- Improves concentration and memory
- Builds confidence
- Helps in reducing blood pressure
Points To Note While Doing Bhramari Pranayama (Bee Breath)
- Ensure that you are not putting your finger inside the ear but on the cartilage.
- Don't press the cartilage too hard. Gently press and release with the finger.
- While making the humming sound, keep your mouth closed.
- You can also keep your fingers in Shanmukhi mudra (hand position) while doing this pranayama. To sit in Shanmukhi mudra, gently place your thumbs on the ear cartilage, index fingers on the forehead just above the eyebrows, middle fingers on eyes, ring fingers on nostrils and the little fingers on corners of your lips.
None. Once this pranayama is learnt correctly from a yoga teacher, anyone from a child to an elderly person can practice this pranayama. The only pre-requisite is that this pranayama should be done on empty stomach.
Yoga practice helps develop the body and mind bringing a lot of health benefits yet is not a substitute for medicine. It is important to learn and practice yoga postures under the supervision of a trained Art of Living Yoga teacher. In case of any medical condition, practice yoga postures after consulting a doctor and a Art of Living Yoga teacher. Find an Art of Living Yoga course at an Art of Living Center near you.

California's future success depends on its ability to integrate immigrants and their children into colleges and the workforce, according to a report released Wednesday.
One-quarter of the country's immigrants live in the state, including more than one-third of the nation's students who are English language learners, according to the study, called "Critical Choices in Post-Recession California: Investing in the Educational and Career Success of Immigrant Youth." Yet many educational services for these students were slashed during budget cuts of past years, said Sarah Hooker, co-author of the report by the Migration Policy Institute's National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy.
"The state's responses to the recession undercut its performance in educating immigrant youth," she said. "Whether this record improves will remain in doubt unless the needs of these youth are made a more central focus of reform and accountability efforts."
California's new K-12 funding formula provides more money to districts with a greater percentage of English language learners, which provides an opportunity to bolster services for those students. Some districts -- including Oakland, San Francisco and several in Southern California -- have begun implementing programs that could serve as models for others.
For example, the report recommends increasing professional development to improve instruction for English learners. Since 2011, Oakland has used the Quality Teaching for English Learners program for high school math, science and English language arts teachers.
The report also recommends that districts partner with other agencies to offer out-of-school services to help English learners stay on track to graduate. The Oakland district partners with the East Bay Asian Youth Center, which provides bilingual and cultural services for immigrants and their families.
Extra time in school is critical for students who immigrate as teens, according to the report. It praised Oakland International High, which provides a fifth-year program for immigrants who are unable to graduate in the usual four years. Additional adult education programs for young adults without high school diplomas or who don't speak English fluently are essential to prepare them for college or work.
And at the community college level, the report recommends additional counseling. It cited the Puente Program -- which means "Bridge" and serves a large number of Latino students in California's community colleges and high schools -- as a good example.
Eight community colleges and eight high schools in the East Bay offer the program, including Chabot College in Hayward, where each student is assigned a counselor and students take a pre-transfer English course that includes books written by Latino authors. Reading material covers themes such as immigration, race, culture and economic issues facing immigrant communities, said Sandra Genera, Puente counselor and coordinator at Chabot.
"In the Puente Program, we help each other out," she said. "It helps the students feel like they belong on campus."
The majority of jobs created over the next several years will require a postsecondary credential or degree, so California will need to increase its number of college graduates significantly, said Michael Fix, the policy institute's CEO and director of studies.
"The state's demographic reality makes clear that immigrants and their children will play a decisive role in shaping California's future economic prosperity," he said.

Just fetched qcad-3.1.3-pro-linux-x86_64.tar.gz and installed it. Everything fine, except the two info tools "i p" and "i e". angle etc. remain fine.
Clean installation, config wiped, still: start the application, select "i p" tool, on first click qcad hangs, with the empty drawing. Also it starts to eat memory, there must be a leak.
Actually, it doesnt hang, but gets so sluggish, only a little patience shows, the tools are working somehow, but the beam looks too big, does it? Screenshot attached.
Is it only with me, to see that? System is Ubuntu 12.04.

Risk of Stock Pullback Continues
Investors breathed a sigh of relief last week as major stock indexes recovered almost all their recent losses. Talk of a major downdraft faded.
Many money managers warned clients, however, that the risk of a sharp pullback has been delayed, not eliminated. Stocks still are expensive after last year's huge gains, making it hard for them to keep rising as the Federal Reserve reduces its support. The S&P 500 stock index last year rose 32% including dividends, its biggest gain since 1997.
"We continue to think we are going to see more volatility than we have in the past," said Jim McDonald, chief investment strategist at Northern Trust, which manages $915 billion in Chicago.
Markets have been so strong in recent years that major indexes haven't dropped 10% or more since September 2011. That is twice as long as usual. "Investors need to be positioned for that to happen at some point this year," Mr. McDonald said.
He is telling clients to keep needed cash in short-term and medium-term bonds, rather than in stocks.
So far, indexes have escaped the declines many money managers expect. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 7% in January and early February and the S&P 500 dropped 6%, but both rebounded. Neither fell even 4% in the latest selling.
"I was a little surprised that we bounced back as quickly as we did" this month, said Jim Dunigan, chief investment officer at PNC Wealth Management, which oversees $130 billion.
"I still look at this year as a transition period, from a market that was supported by easy money, by highly accommodative monetary policy, back to one that is based on fundamentals," he said. "All transitions are challenging but this will be sloppy to get through."
Because the Fed and other central banks have been holding interest rates low and stocks have been rising for so long, investors have forgotten what a normal market looks like, Mr. Dunigan said. As the Fed slowly allows interest rates to rise to more-normal levels over the next few years, he and others said, markets are likely to see more-normal volatility.
In an average bull market, the S&P 500 falls by 10% or more about once every 16 months, according to Ned Davis Research. It has been 31 months since the last 10% pullback, in September 2011.
The strains are showing. The Dow closed at a record 52 times last year but hasn't hit any records in 2014. The S&P 500 has hit eight records this year, after 45 last year. At the end of last week, the Dow was down 1% for the year and the S&P was up 0.9%, far from last year's pace.
Last year, the S&P 500 fell as much as 2% on only two days; it already has done so three times this year, says Mr. McDonald of Northern Trust.
Stock prices are high by historical standards, although not off the charts.
The S&P 500 trades at 16 to 18 times its component companies' earnings, depending on how the earnings are measured. That is above long-term averages of 15 to 16. At this level, stocks sometimes but not always have suffered declines. But the current price/earnings ratio is nowhere near the 35 to 40 range reached at the height of the 2000 tech-stock bubble.
A much-followed P/E measure maintained by Nobel Prize-winning Yale economist Robert Shiller, based on 10-year average earnings, is now well above its average historical level. But it isn't quite as high as when markets peaked in 2007 and is far from its 2000 level.
While fears of a decline are widespread, few money managers expect it to be severe or long lasting. One big reason: The Fed is determined to avoid recession and to keep financial markets stable, and investors feel it is foolish to fight the Fed.
Money managers increasingly are adopting a view dubbed "Tina" by Jason Trennert, founder of Strategas Research Partners. Tina stands for "there is no alternative" (to U.S. stocks).
Low interest rates are keeping some people from buying bonds. Although U.S. stocks are more expensive than European ones, many consider the U.S. economy stronger and safer. And with developing economies like China, Brazil and Russia facing problems, many U.S. investors are wary of those stocks.
"Where are you going to put your money, in cash at zero interest? Emerging markets still are suffering from their malaise and U.S. equities are looking kind of like a safe haven," said Janna Sampson, co-chief investment officer at OakBrook Investments, which oversees $3.3 billion in Lisle, Ill.
Ned Davis Research has been warning for months that stocks could face a pullback in the middle of this year. It says the risks will heighten if stocks keep rising and investors become overly optimistic again. But its analysts, too, forecast that declines will be limited.
"Deeper bear markets generally are due to recessions," said the firm's global strategist, Will Geisdorf. Because the Fed is so supportive, "we see little threat of recession until 2016 or 2017."
Some investors are saying the market might escape a 10% decline this year. Instead it could suffer smaller pullbacks, as it already has been doing. Some term that a "sideways correction," meaning one where stocks don't fall heavily but fail to make significant gains for a long period.
One likelihood is that markets won't do what most analysts expect. Big pullbacks come when investors are overly optimistic and aren't expecting trouble. They stop hedging, move too heavily into stocks, get caught off guard by a decline and panic. Right now, it would take a sudden, unexpected shock to cause that kind of reaction.

Mark Greenfield
Mark Greenfield participated in an AJWS delegation to Guatemala with Congregation B'nai Jeshurun and was a group leader for a delegation to El Salvador with Capital Camps, both in 2008. He will be starting a graduate program for social work at Hunter College in September.
What motivated you to join the City Team?
I have been, for a very long time, inspired by AJWS's work around the world. I participated in two delegations, and I have been attending events through the City Team and the AVODAH-AJWS Partnership over the past year, so I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to continue my involvement with AJWS here in New York. I'm particularly passionate about programming and organizing among young Jewish leaders committed to social justice and human rights. I'm excited to be a part of that community and to help strengthen the relationships in it.
Had you done similar work before?
In New York I've done most of my organizing through Congregation B'nai Jeshurun (BJ). I organized environmental activism and engaged the 20s and 30s community in social justice. This has involved community organizing and congregational education on living healthier, greener lives and greening the facilities. Externally, we've been doing a lot of large events and campaigns to educate the public about environmental activism and global warming and to try to get the community involved in shaping policy to affect climate change.
What are you most looking forward to doing as part of the City Team?
I am looking forward to meeting people in the Jewish community. Over the course of the year the City Team's most consistent role will be doing relational meetings and outreach to young Jews living in New York. That's something that I've done before in other settings, and I really enjoy networking and finding out what motivates people to fight for social justice, especially from a Jewish perspective.
What might be challenging in doing that outreach?
I think it will be challenging in the sense that it's still relatively new—the City Team is only a year old and the AVODAH-AJWS Partnership is only a couple of years old, so I think people are still learning what it's all about. Building networks takes time and effort. I don't expect it to happen easily and overnight, but I think people who are generally passionate about social justice will want to make these connections. I'm excited for it. I think it will be a great opportunity and I'm looking forward to meeting people in the community and to helping facilitate networking and programming.
What are you working on right now with the City Team?
The first event of the summer is going to be a film screening and discussion that connects Judaism and social justice. I'm also interested in incorporating the global movement to stop violence against women. If there's any room for that to happen within the City Team this year, that would be wonderful, because that's one issue that's become important to me.
How does Judaism play a role for you, whether in your life or in this type of work?
Judaism and social justice for me are extremely interconnected. Without the social justice component, Judaism doesn't nearly have the same meaning for me. I get a lot of strength and passion for Judaism through social justice and I get a lot of comfort and strength for social justice through my Judaism. I'm not an overly religious person—I consider myself spiritual—so I look at my connection to Judaism and social justice also in a spiritual way. When I was doing organizing before, without the Jewish component, it was sometimes difficult to stay grounded and connected to what I was doing because I didn't have a strong community or an underlying spiritual component, and Judaism has really brought that in for me.
What do you do when you're not at City Team meetings?
I'm at a crossroads right now. I'm going to grad school in September for social work at Hunter College, focusing on community organizing and development and planning. I've been doing more direct service work with people who have sports injuries as a massage therapist and a rehabilitative personal trainer. I'm looking forward to transitioning professionally into more global, macro social justice-focused work, and I think grad school will be a really great next step.

Wednesday November 16, 2011
Waynesboro, Ga--On a team that's as good as Burke county is, it's tough to pin point one guy who has a standout game. Usually, they spread the ball out so much its near impossible. But this week, we found out good things do come in small packages and his name is Donquell Green and he's our Operation Football Live player of the week.
In their first round playoff win against drew, it was green who played a big part in the Bears jumping out to the big early lead. When the dust settled he only carried the ball eight times but had 173 yards rushing and three touchdowns, all over 30 yards. Lack of size no problem, his speed, a big problem for the opposition
"Well they say I'm very quick" said Donquelle Green "I dodge them, but I can throw the ball as well, that's what they don't know. They look forward to me running the ball, I'll throw it too."
"It's hard to duplicate what he's going to give you" said coach Eric Parker "Donquell fits that mold so yea, I think there's something to that, that until you see it up live and close it's just kind of hard to understand how quick he is and how fast he is."
Green hasn't thrown the ball a ton much this year but is very capable and offers the perfect complement to Corey Nayton in running the offense. For his efforts, we honor Burke County's Donquell Green as our player of the week. Burke County hosts Woodward Acadmey Friday night.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- He was arrested during a big Augusta bust called Operation Smoke Screen, but now his name has been cleared. He says an angel saved him ... an angel on his arm.
It all started before daylight. A stream of burglary suspects were arrested in a major Augusta sting called Operation Smoke Screen back in February.
"For them to come in here and grab him for something illegal," said Katrina Hollis, "I went into a tailspin."
Hollis' son, Darnell Brown, was one of dozens arrested on felony burglary charges and was locked away for four days.
"He was locked up," Hollis said. "But I was in my own prison here."
"It felt like a movie at the time because you have cops coming in with guns," Brown said. "You got my little sister getting ready for school."
Brown and his 10-year-old sister are inseparable.
"My daughter," Hollis said, "she had nightmares."
The nightmare recently took a positive turn with a notice from the District Attorney's office declaring there is "no longer sufficient evidence to prove guilt."
There was also video of the suspect. Brown fit the description.
"Anybody in Augusta can fit that description," he said. "Tall, black, with dreads."
But there was one thing missing in the video. The suspect did not have tattoo. Hollis says Brown has had a tattoo since he was 16 years old.
It was a tattoo that Mom fought. Brown is a high school graduate and man of the house. He was mostly raised by his grandmother, Mary. When she passed away, he begged for a tattoo.
"He said Mom, 'I want an angel, and I want Mary under it.'" recalled Hollis. "I gave in, and that tattoo, to me, saved this whole situation. I feel like my son would be in jail to this day if it was not for that tattoo. She is looking down from heaven. She is still taking care of her boy."
So what does Hollis think about the major roundups?
"I don't want them to stop. I appreciate them, but do all of the homework," she said. "Don't just round everybody up like a fishnet and whatever you get, you keep that."
The family can't help thinking this could have happened to anyone.
"How many parents have just accepted it because the cops say, OK we were wrong, and they move on," Hollis said. "I'm not a parent who accepts a mistake like that."
The family attorney has put together a four-page letter to city leaders.
The Richmond County Sheriff's Office says they want to review this case and will comment early next week.
Brown, 21, was 20 years old at the time of his arrest.
Stay with News 12 for updates on this case.

Selena Gomez was in Oakland on Wednesday, talking about being pressured in Hollywood.
The 21-year-old singer-actress opened up about struggling with fame to 16,000 students and teachers, while speaking about youth empowerment at the first "We Day California" at Oracle Arena, according to the Huffington Post
"I'm surrounded by people who are supposed to guide me," Gomez said. "And some of them have and others haven't. They pressure me. There's so much pressure. You gotta be sexy. You gotta be cute. You gotta be nice. You gotta be all these things ... They tell me what to wear, how to look, what I should say, how I should be, until recently I had given in to that pressure. I lost sight of who I was. I listened to opinions of people and I tried to change who I am because I thought that others would accept me for it. And I realized I don't know how to be anything but myself."
But enough about Justin Bieber ...
Gomez got a little choked up before admitting to making some mistakes.
"I'd be lying if I said that I've never tried to make myself better by giving in, because I have," she said. "But I've learned from my actions, and for all the things I've done, I'm proudest of that. I've learned from my mistakes. I want you to know that I know what it's like figuring out what types of friends you have. You are who you surround yourself with."
So Selena Gomez frequently becomes Justin Bieber?
In January, Gomez checked into rehab at Meadows in Arizona for two weeks to deal with "emotional issues," (Bieber). Her rep said her brief stay wasn't about substance abuse (Bieber).
This happened after Gomez canceled dates on her Stars Dance Tour in December, citing personal issues (Bieber).

County lacks needed sense of urgency
Published: Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.

Last week, we learned Henderson County had taken another step toward fixing erosion problems at the bankrupt Seven Falls subdivision in Etowah. As historic rainfalls drenched the region, county staff met with a dozen contractors interested in bidding on a project to halt erosion of unfinished roads and slopes and finally stabilize the site.
That sounded good, except for news that most likely it will be fall before contractors fully seed eroding land with grass and finish re-grading roads, cleaning out clogged sediment basins and installing new silt traps and fences.
Given the fact that the site, tied up in bankruptcy and legal actions against the developer, has been washing away for more than three years now, one wonders what will be left of those roads and slopes after the massive rains that have pummeled the area recently.
So far, this has been the wettest summer since the National Weather Service began keeping records in 1869. More than 17.4 inches of rain have fallen at the Asheville Regional Airport since June 1, shattering the previous record of 13.34 inches set in 1989. Meteorologists have recorded 46.53 inches at the airport since January, more than 22 inches above normal. And as crazy as these numbers sound, the airport is located in one of the drier parts of the county. In some areas, rainfall is running well over 2 feet above normal.
Given the recent flooding and heavy rains since June, it would be impossible for grading crews at this time to halt the untold tons of mud eroding from unfinished roads in Seven Falls. Too bad work could not have been started in February when only 3.56 inches of rain fell, or in March when 3.32 inches of precipitation was recorded. Those were the last two months with below-normal rainfall, with the months since running near or more than double normal amounts.
In an editorial in June 2010, we stated: Restoring Little Willow Creek and its tributaries, which make up an entire watershed flowing into the French Broad River, should be a priority. There are many reasons that has not happened so far. The county had to fight for a $6 million bond to make the repairs, and get court approval to use some of those funds to fix erosion problems. It is no surprise that just stopping the erosion (not counting costs to restore streams) is now estimated to cost $475,000, about $213,000 more than a judge has so far approved for the project. Now the county will have to go back before the court to seek more money in hopes of awarding a contract by July 17 and starting work by Aug. 1.
Its not peoples fault when nature lets loose massive rains that delay construction projects. (The downtown streetscape project that is stretching months past its original deadline is another example.) But the Seven Falls fiasco has gone on far too long. Costs for taxpayers and the environment will continue to escalate unless repairs start soon.

Signs and symptoms of depression might be difficult to notice if your child is no longer living at home. College students also might have difficulty seeking help for depression out of embarrassment or fear of not fitting in.
If you suspect that your child might be dealing with depression, talk to him or her about what's going on and listen. Encourage your child to talk about his or her feelings. Also, ask him or her to make an appointment with a doctor as soon as possible. Many colleges offer mental health services.
Remember, depression symptoms might not get better on their own — and depression might get worse if it isn't treated. Untreated depression can lead to other mental and physical health issues or problems in other areas of life. Feelings of depression can also increase the likelihood of substance abuse and the risk of suicide.
In addition to seeking treatment, your child can take steps to feel better. For example, encourage your student to:
There's no sure way to prevent depression during college. However, helping your child become accustomed to his or her college campus before the start of the school year can prevent your child from feeling overwhelmed by the transition. Encourage your child to visit the campus and talk to other students, peer counselors or faculty about what to expect and where to turn for support.
If your college-bound child has risk factors for or a history of depression, talk to your child's doctor about what kind of counseling options might best help your child with the transition to college. In addition, help your child become familiar with campus counseling resources.
Remember, getting treatment at the earliest sign of a problem can relieve symptoms, prevent depression from returning and help students succeed in college.

Knitter's Review
December 1, 2005
Welcome back! I hope you had a good break.
Mine was extra special. On Thanksgiving day, my brother and his wife welcomed their first baby.
As a knitter and doting auntie, I immediately grabbed yarn and needles to clothe this beautiful baby boy in his first handknit. (Personal superstition forbids me from knitting for a baby until after it is born.)
But which yarn would I use? Because this was going to new parents who'd likely have their hands full, I couldn't use a yarn that required handwashing.
With a heavy sigh, I passed on a supersoft alpaca/cashmere handwash-only yarn that's been tempting me since I first touched it. The yarn may be extravagant, but the price isn't.
That's because it's from Knit Picks. It's called Ambrosia, and
I review it this week
(As for the baby blanket, I chose
Rowan Cashsoft
and cast off the last stitch just a few hours before writing this!)
In the Boutique: Wear Your Heart on Your Sweater
What do you get the knitter who has everything? Jewelry, of course! Our new
handmade sterling silver sweater pin
was designed specifically to fit through the loops of handknits without piercing the yarn. At the pin's very center sits a sweet, simple heart.
Year-End Fundraising Project
The arrival of December means it's time for our annual fundraiser for the
Heifer Foundation
This innovative nonprofit group helps families in more than 100 countries move toward self-sufficiency by giving them breeding livestock. Families spend a year in training and agree to pass on the first female animal offspring and their own know-how to other needy families—in essence, the gift of one animal helps transform an entire community.
Over the past three years we have collected thousands of dollars for Heifer, which has translated into dozens of sheep to deserving families around the world.
If you're interested in helping and are in a position to contribute this year, you can send a check or money order (payable to Heifer International), in whatever amount you can afford, to:

Your family doesn't get you at all. This Christmas, they got you $50 gift card to Forever 21, a $25 certificate to Starbucks, and a $30 card to Blinds to Go, when at heart, you're a caffeine-allergic nudist who lives in a windowless hut. Why couldn't they have just given you cash?
It's not because your parents don't know you, but because they do. Or because they worry they do. And they don't want you buying drugs with their money.
You would never do that? That's between you and God and that number in your cell phone. Many other people would and some of them took to Twitter to voice their exasperation.
P.S. Shhhhhh.

Re: "If not here, where," by Sarah Gilman, Writers on the Range, Dec. 5
Thank you for the balanced article on the oil industry by Sarah Gilman, rather than the usual bashing delivered endlessly by left-leaning media types. She hit the nail on the head regarding the "I want" attitude of today's society butting up against its diametrically opposed NIMBY (not-in-my-backyard) attitude. It is not a case of being "addicted to oil" as George Bush said, it is a case of being "spOILed" by all of the things we've created using oil and energy, which is the title of a documentary discussing this issue. With all of the hype regarding fracking being published, most of which is alarmist nonsense since wells have been fracked for over 60 years, is it any wonder why the people of Paonia and the North Fork Valley have been scared to death about drilling a hole in the ground? They have been led to believe all of the falsehoods in the movie "Gasland" regardless of their veracity. The statements in that movie were refuted not only by scientific evidence but also in a short documentary titled "Truthland." Information about both "spOILed" and "Truthland" is readily accessible on the Internet. I suggest all of your readers check them both out, because it is becoming more and more difficult to determine what the media is not telling us. Gilman's article was a breath of fresh air. Yours truly,

What would you like to study?
Posted 28 June 2004 - 08:18 AM
Topics have included:
To what extent did the characters of William and Harold determine the victor and the loser at the Battle of Hastings in 1066?
How significant was the Boer War in the decline of the British Empire?
How effective was Martin Luther King in igniting racial and religious change in American society in the 1960s?
Posted 04 August 2004 - 08:33 PM
I like anything foreign...India, China, Korea, America. I guess there's a fascination that comes with trying to learn somebody else's culture/policies and it's this fascination which give better grades.
Oh and Vlad the Impaler is a really cool topic...It's never been studied, but I checked it and I think people would be interested!
Posted 22 October 2004 - 12:28 PM
I find Nazi Germany extreamly interesting, especially the Holocaust, but I find The Early Tudors, (Henry VII and how he became king) a bit boring for my liking. I can understand though why they haven't chosen to do Henry VIII or Elizabeth I because a lot of this has been touched on throughout school life, especially in Primary school, as they are probably two of the most famous monarchs in British History.
I think it would be a good idea if we had a choice of 4 topics to choose for AS/A2 level history, and you would have to do 2, what do you think?

I study History at GCSE, I'm currently halfway through Year 11. My school chose to study the Modern History, and as they promoted it well at the end of Year 9, about 150 of the 300 students chose History. I doubt many regret it
There are some very interesting topics on the course;
-Causes of WWI (Long & Short term)
-WWI and trench warfare, conditions for soldiers etc
-The Home Front, lives of women etc
-Weimar Germany, leading to hyper-inflation, through the Stressmann years, the Dawes plan, Hitler's rise to power and so on
-Causes of WWII (we don't actually study WWII)
-America between the wars; prosperity, prohibition and so on
And instead of coursework we do;
-The changing roles of women
It's an incredibly enjoyable mix of topics, in an incredibly enjoyable subject!

but i think that students are more likely to opt for history if they get the idea that history isn't a time to go to sleep and boring subject.
My history teacher does "role plays" and "reanacts the the topic.
I really like that (i like history anyway) but it makes dates and times stick in your memory as opposed to reading text book and copying questions.

I think this is a good point - but surely you mean they are more likely to opt for history is they get they idea that history is not a time to go to sleep!
Good teachers always try to look for ways to make the learning more interesting because, as you say, this helps you really understand and learn.

i am hoping to do AS History where i will study british and european histroy which i think will be a lot more interesting than the USA work i am doing at the moment.
i glad that we dont have to do any history before 1900 as i am much more interested in modern history.
i have completed two coursework assignments one on the evcuation of dunkirk and the other on women during world war two. i enjoyed both these pieces of coursework, however the dunkrik peice was more structured and therefore easier to write.
Posted 24 March 2005 - 08:32 PM
I also had to study Northern Ireland (painful) I'm sure I wasn't the only one who wasn't able get the topic into context. I really don't think that this is a suitable area of study for 14, 15 & 16 year olds.
We also did a local study and travelled to the town we were studying, I loved finding out the history of a place that I regularily visit.
My friend and I also filmed a documentary in the town, it was definately a good way of revising the information, you should try it if you can!
I would really like to study the Vietnam War and the time that surrounded it. I went to see Miss Saigon (sounds like a silly reason) and I felt that students arn't taught enough about it and I found that there were historical references that I didn't understand.
Does anyone know which AS and A2 levels cover this time?

It happens to the people who drive fire trucks every day: people not pulling over or even slowing down for them to pass.
Oftentimes, it's because car stereos are simply louder than the sirens.
In a News 12 Special Assignment, Kate Tillotson exposes the dangers of driving deaf.
It's hard to believe that you could miss seeing something as big as a fire truck, especially with its siren blaring behind you.
But it actually happens...and often we have the volume controls in our cars to thank.
We've created our own personal concerts in our cars.
As great as it sounds, the vibrations may not be all that good...because by tuning in, we're often tuning out to what's around us.
Fire truck drivers say they're tired of having to fight traffic. After all, the last thing on their minds is you, the driver whose music is too loud to hear them coming.
"It's almost daily," says Chief Byron Taylor. "The sooner they realize there's emergency vehicles approaching them from the back, the more reaction time they have."
But how deaf can drivers really be?
We decided to test it, with the help of Dr. Andy Hauger, head of ASU's physics department.
We taped a sound meter to a driver's seat head rest, then blasted the stereo.
"The volume was up almost maximum, we were reaching about 90 decibels," Dr. Hauger said.
We brought in a fire truck about 150 feet behind the car and turned on the wailing siren.
The volume inside the car?
Just 65 decibels.
"It would not be really noticeable by the occupant of the car," Dr. Hauger said.
We moved the closer and closer.
It wasn't until it was 25 feet away that the siren was finally as loud as the stereo.
"Twenty five feet is right up on your bumper, really," Dr. Hauger said.
Imagine seeing a huge fire truck suddenly in your rear view mirror.
"[The driver] may go left, may go right, may just stop in the middle of the lane," Chief Taylor told us.
So the next time you feel like sounding off on the street, consider what's at stake.
Then ask yourself, "Do I really feel like driving deaf today?"
Also remember that the rules of the road that apply to you do not apply to emergency vehicles. They can run red lights and go over the speed limit. So when you see one approaching, you must put your signal on and pull over to the right.
There are consequences for failing to pull over, just like there are for failing to stop at a stop sign. If you fail to pull over or yield, you could be slapped with a $50 fine.

Instructor Insight: Dealing with Columns in Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Release 9.1
By Breanne Cooley on Oct 21, 2013
Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Release 9.1 has many new features that will help end users be more efficient in their daily jobs. For example, hiding grid columns is now as easy as a left-mouse click. In earlier releases, users could click on the 'Customize Grid' link but still had to do several more clicks to hide or show a column . The following example shows how easy this new feature is to use.
First, right-mouse click on the column you want to hide; for example the 'Long Address' column.
The column is now hidden.
Second, right-mouse over on any of the columns to show the 'Unhide' option.
After you select 'Unhide', the hidden column is shown. You can then select the column to show, or unhide, the column.
This new feature and others are covered in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne System Administration Rel 9.x course, which has been updated to reflect the new release. Hope to see you in class!

Best time to visit Belgium
As a small country, Belgium's weather doesn't vary much around the country. Warmer weather prevails from May to September, with July and August being the most popular times to visit, so expect to share Belgium with more people when travelling during this period. It can get quite cold during December and January, with snow frequently falling around the country. Rainfall is quite high year-round in Belgium, although the rain is usually in the form of showers rather than torrential downpours.

Top Picks
Top 5 Sweet Treats of Belgium
1. Chocolate
Belgian chocolate is arguably the world's best and with thousands of chocolate shops all over the country, visitors won't be able to resist trying a truffle or two! Visit chocolate museums, hand-pick favourites at luxury chocolateries or stock up at chain stores.
2. Waffles
Belgian Waffles (known locally as Gaufres) aren't exactly a diet food. Topped with cream, sugar, chocolate sauce, strawberries or all of the above, they are a delectably decadent treat easily picked up from markets, specialty stores and street carts all over Belgium.
3. Cuberdon
These classic Belgian sweets are a raging favourite with locals. Hard on the outside and syrupy in the middle, cone-shaped cuberdons are made with sugar and gelatine, and are available in flavours like raspberry, blackcurrant and apple.
4. Speculoos
These thin, spicy cookies are usually served at Christmas, but are baked all year round. With a unique flavour, they are very 'moreish' so it's hard to stop at one.
5. Pom Koek
This traditional, Belgian coffee cake made with honey and coffee and spiced with cinnamon and cloves is a delicious afternoon pick-me-up easily found in coffee houses and cafes throughout Belgium.
FAQs on Belgium
Coffee in a cafe = 3-4 Euro
A bottle of beer = 3-5 Euro
Lunch in a cafe = 10-15 Euro
Nice dinner with drinks = 30-50 Euro
