|Bee Stings / Safety
What do I do?
If you are stung by a honey bee, one of the most important things to do is not to panic. Panic by the person stung or those around him/her can produce a systemic reaction in itself. Many people believethey are allergic to honey bees when in fact they are experiencing symptoms of a normal reaction. Only a very limited portion of the population (one or two out of 1000) is allergic or hypersensitive to bee or wasp stings. The average person can safely tolerate 10 stings per pound of body weight. This means that although 500 stings could kill a child, the average adult could withstand more than 1100 stings. Most deaths caused by multiple stings have occured in elderly individuals who may have had poor cardiopulmonary functioning.
If stung by a honey bee, the first thing you should do is remove the stinger. The end of a sting is barbed and will remain stuck in the skin even if the bee is removed. Muscles in the stinger allow it to continue pumping venom into the victim, even if it is no longer connected to the bee, for up to a minute or until the stinger is removed. The sooner the stinger is removed, the less venom will enter the wound. Honey bees are able to sting only once and eventually die after they have released their stinger.
Two kinds of reactions are usually associated with bee stings and those of other stinging insects as well: (1) local or (2) systemic, allergic, or life-threatening.
(1) Local Reactions:
(2) Systemic, Allergic, or Life-Threatening Reactions:
If you experience any of these symptoms, seek emergency medical assistance immediately. Symptoms can begin immediately following the sting or up to 30 minutes later and might last for hours. Anaphylaxis, or the inability to breathe, may occur within seconds or minutes of a sting.
Anaphylaxis, if treated in time, usually can be reversed by epinephrine (adrenaline) injected into the body. Individuals who are aware that they are allergic to stings should carry epinephrine in either a normal syringe (sting kit) or an auto-injector (Epi-Pen) whenever they think they might encounter stinging insects. Epinephrine is obtainable only by prescription from a physician.
Things to remember:
Stay away from honey bee colonies. There are estimated to be about 250,000 wild honey bee colonies in Arizona. Because honey bees nest in such a wide variety of locations, be alert for groups of flying bees entering or leaving an entrance or opening. Listen for buzzing sounds. Be especially alert when climbing, because honey bees often nest under rocks or within crevices within rocks. Don't put your hands where you can't see them.
If you find a colony of bees, leave them alone and keep others away. Do not shoot, throw rocks at, try to burn or otherwise disturb the bees. If the colony is near a trail or near areas frequently used by humans, notify your local office of the Parks Department, Forest Service, Game and Fish Department, even if the bees appear to be docile. Honey bee colonies vary in behavior over time, especially with changes in age and season. Small colonies are less likely to be defensive than large colonies, so you may pass the same colony for weeks, and then one day provoke them unexpectedly.
Wear appropriate clothing. When hiking in the wilderness, wear light-colored clothing, including socks. Avoid wearing leather clothing. When they defend their nests, Honey bees target objects that resemble their natural predators (such as bears and skunks), so they tend to go after dark, leathery or furry objects. Keep in mind that bees see the color red as black, so fluorescent orange is a better clothing choice when hunting.
Avoid wearing scents of any sort when hiking or working outside. Africanized honey bees communicate to one another using scents and tend to be quite sensitive to odors. Avoid strongly scented shampoo, soaps, perfumes, heavily scented gum, etc. If riding, avoid using fly control products on your horse with a "lemony" or citrus odor. Such scents are also known to provoke or attract honey bees.
Be particularly careful when using any machinery that produces sound vibrations or loud noises. Bees are alarmed by the vibration and/or loud noises produced by equipment such as chain saws, weed eaters, lawn mowers, tractors or electric generators. Honey bees may also be disturbed by strong smells, such as the odor of freshly cut grass. Again, check your environment before you begin operating noisy equipment.
Pet safety. When hiking it is best to keep your dog on a leash or under close control. A large animal bounding through the brush is likely to disturb a colony and be attacked. When the animal returns to its master, it will bring the attacking bees with it. At home, be careful not to tie or pen animals near honey bee hives. The animals receive numerous stings because they can't escape the bees. If your animals or pets are being stung, try to release them without endangering yourself.
The best way to prevent bees from establishing a colony on your property is to not provide them with an ideal environment for survival. Honey bees require three things in order to survive: food, water and shelter.
Remember, honey bees also nest in a wide variety of locations and may enter openings as small as 3/16-inch in diameter (about the size of a pencil eraser) as long as there is a suitable-sized cavity behind the opening for a nest.
Eliminate shelter. To prevent honey bees from settling in your house or yard, you will need to be vigilant in preventing potential nesting sites.
Look for large numbers of bees passing into and out of or hovering in front of an opening. Listen for the hum of active insects. Look low for colonies in or at ground level, and also high for colonies under eaves or in attics.
Keep everyone away from the colony. Look in the Yellow Pages under "bee removal" or "pest control" for the names of beekeepers or pest control operators in your area who are qualified to remove the colony. Do not try to remove colonies yourself!
With the arrival of the Africanized honey bee in Arizona, people need to be more cautious when hiking, hunting, fishing, biking, or horseback riding, etc. out of doors. But remember, there is a variety of venomous creatures here and Africanized honey bees are only one potential hazard. So it pays to always stay alert.
About Africanized and European honey bees:
Do's and Dont's:
1. Look out for honey bee colonies when outdoors. There are estimated to be approximately 250,000 wild bee colonies in Arizona. Honey bees nest in a wide variety of locations, such as pipes, holes, animal burrows or even in cavities within saguaro cacti or trees. Be alert for groups of flying bees entering or leaving an entrance or opening and listen for buzzing sounds. Be especially alert when climbing, because honey bees often nest under rocks or within crevices between rocks. Don't put your hands where you can't see them.
2. If you find a colony of bees, leave them alone and keep others away. Do not shoot, throw rocks at, try to burn or otherwise disturb the bees. If the colony is near a trail or near areas frequently used by humans, notify your local office of the Parks Department, Forest Service, or Arizona Game and Fish even if the bees appear to be docile. Honey bee colonies vary in behavior over time, especially with changes in age and season. Small colonies are less likely to be defensive than large colonies, so you may pass the same colony for weeks and then one day provoke them unexpectedly.
3. Keep your dogs under control. If a dog disturbs a colony when bounding through the bush, it is likely to bring the bees back to you.
4. Wear light colored clothes, including socks. Bees target objects that resemble their natural predators (bears and skunks) when they defend their nests, so they tend to go after dark leathery or furry objects. Keep in mind that bees see the color red as black, so flourescent orange is a better choice when hunting.
5. Avoid wearing scents of any sort when hiking. Africanized honey bees communicate to one another using scents, and tend to be quite sensitive to odors. Avoid strongly scented shampoo, soaps, perfumes, heavily scented gum, etc. If riding, avoid using fly control products on your horse with a "lemony" or citrus odor. Such odors are known to provoke or attract honey bees.
6. Be particularly careful when using hany heavy equipment that produces sound vibrations, such as chainsaws, weed eaters, tractors or generators.
7. Keep escape routes in mind. If at all possible, avoid areas where you cannot escape quickly if attacked.
8. If you know you are allergic to bee stings, always have someone else with you when doing outdoor activities.
What to do if you are attacked by honey bees:
If you are attacked while hiking or hunting, the best action is to run as far and as fast as possible. Pull your shirt up over your head to protect your face, but make sure it does not slow your progress. Run to shelter (vehicle or building) if available. Do not swat at the bees or flail your arms, since they are attracted to movement. Entering water is not recommended. The bees may wait for you to come up for air.
Africanized honey bees (the so-called "killer bees") arrived in Arizona in 1993. Some colonies of Africanized honey bees defend their nests with more vigor and in greater numbers than the common European honey bee. When bees defend their colonies, they target furry and dark-colored objects that resemble their natural enemies: bears and skunks. Therefore your pets are likely to be stung when bees are disturbed. Animals that are penned or tied up near honey bees are in special peril.
About Africanized and European honey bees:
Do's and Dont's:
What to do if your animal is involved in a serious stinging incident:
Try to get the animal away from the bees WITHOUT ENDANGERING YOURSELF. Call your dog inside your house or car, or release the animal IF IT WILL NOT HARM THE ANIMAL OR OTHERS NEARBY. Do not attempt to approach a person or an animal being stung without some sort of protection (such as a bee keeper's suit) because the bees are likely to attack you as well. If you approach an animal that is being stung, remember that an injured animal may bite or attack unexpectedly. If you release penned livestock, be aware that an unrestrained animal may run into the road and be hit by a car, or may run away. And if the animal runs to you with aroused bees following it, you are likely to be stung.
If possible, douse the animal with a shower of soapy water which will kill any bees clinging to it. A mild solution of liquid dish detergent in water (approximately 1/2 cup soap per gallon of water) will immobilize honey bees and kill them within 60 seconds.
Covering the animal with a heavy blanket during a serious stinging incident may also discourage the bees.
Once the animal is away from bees look for stingers. When a honey bee stings, it loses its venom sac and stinger. This means the honey bee dies after it stings, but also that the stinger may continue to inject venom for up to a minute or until the stinger is remove. If you can see stingers on the animal, remove them by scraping them out with a credit card, knife or fingernail. Do not pull them out with tweezers or fingers because you will squeeze more venom into the animal.
If an animal has sustained numerous stings, you may want to consult your veterinarian. The number of stings an animal can survive depends on its body weight, the amount of venom it received, and whether or not it is allergic to bee venom. As with humans, even one sting may be dangerous if the animal is allergic (although rare).
Honey bees and your swimming pool: not a good mix
Honey bees are one of the most beneficial insects to humans. They help pollinate our crops (like apples, melons and almonds), produce the sweet honey and make beeswax, which is important in the cosmetic and candle industries.
Because they are a social insect, living in colonies of up to 60,000 individuals, they need lots of food and water to keep the nest alive. The queen lays all the eggs in the colony and the worker bees do all the work. Worker bees normally forage on flowers for nectar and pollen. Nectar is the sweet flower sap that bees make into honey by evaporating off the excess water. Pollen is the protein resource bees feed their young larvae.
Bees store their food and raise their young in the honeycomb nest. Honeycomb is made from beeswax, which is secreted by young worker bees, and fashioned into the familiar honeycomb hexagonal shape. Because bees live in these wax combs, though, they have to keep the nest at a constant temperature, not only to keep the colony from overheating, but also to prevent the wax from melting. In hot weather, bees cool the colony much like your swamp or evaporative cooler does - by evaporating off drops of water. Bees collect water and spread it throughout the colony in droplets. Then they fan the air to creat an air stream over the water drops, causing the water to evaporate and thus lowering the nest temperatures.
When bees forage for water, they are not too fussy about where they collect it. It could be from a small, muddy puddle, a stream or your swimming pool, irrigation system, swamp cooler or birdbath. It is when bees come in contact with people, especially at swimming pools, that people notice them. Then they are considered not only a nuisance, but also a hazard.
Here are some tips on how to keep bees away from your pools.
In addition, you should monitor other water sources and discourage bees from frequent visits. Here are some tips.
If you notice bees nosing around your shed, house or other small hole in your wall or foundation, these are probably scout bees looking for a new home site for a swarm. Make sure every hole larger than 1/4-inch in diameter (about the size of a pencil), is caulked up.
Bees belong to an ancient species that has continually adapted to the many challenges posed by the environment. As a result, a highly organized society has evolved. The development of a community lifestyle to ensure survival is but one example of the species' evolutionary adaptations.
The hive of the honeybee provides a delectable prize for many predators. Insects such as ants, wasps, and other bees are common intruders, as well as many mammals - bears, skunks, badgers, raccoons, possums, anteaters, mice, and humans. The attack behavior of bees developed as a defense to certain stimuli that signal the hive is in danger from an intruder. When honeybees attack in large, they are defending their colony. A bee will rarely sting when it is away from the colony foraging on pollen, nectar or water. However, a bee may sting if it is handled roughly (swatted at or stepped on), or feels alarmed in any way. Generally, if you leave a bee alone, it will leave you alone.
The following is an excerpt about colony defense from Bees and Beekeeping - Science, Practice, and World Resources by Eva Crane.

Britney Spears says she's in love.
Right ... slow news day.
The singer recently sat down with "Entertainment Tonight" and gushed about boyfriend, David Lucado, whom she has been seeing for almost a year.
"I'm in love," Spears said. "I like the fact that (Lucado is) very stubborn and he's stuck in his ways. He's just a simple man. I adore him. He's really funny and he's really passionate. I love the fact that anything he's involved in he's passionate about and it's contagious."
He might want to get a doctor to look at that.
Spears went public with her relationship with Lucado -- a 27-year-old Virginia native who does field research for a law firm -- in February, according to TMZ. During the "E.T." interview, Spears said Lucado is "the exact opposite of a Hollywood guy," which might have been a dig at her former fiance and manager Jason Trawick.
Spears met Lucado through friends, after which she said her father and conservator, Jamie, ran a background check on him.
"My dad's a little crazy like that," the 31-year-old said.
Right. He's the crazy one.
Spears also said -- and here's where one hopes Lucado was paying attention -- that she wants more kids again, though she's not sure she ever wants to marry again.

AUSTIN, Texas – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi softball team rallied back in the third and fourth frames to take a 5-4 lead but a three-run fifth inning by Memphis lifted the Tigers to a 7-5 victory over the Islanders in the Texas Classic Friday afternoon at Red & Charline McCombs field.
The Islanders (0-2) outhit the Tigers (1-1) 9-7 behind senior Meagan McKinney's three hits and five RBIs. Sophomore Hayley Galloway added two hits and freshman Dani Tefft chipped in two to power the Islanders' bats.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the opening frame after leadoff batter Mickayla Cochran started things off with a single to right field. The sophomore advanced to second on an illegial pitch and moved to third on a Tefft groundout. McKinney followed with a double to right center to plate Cochran and give the Islanders' their first run of the game.
Memphis answered with four runs in the bottom of the first on three hits. The Tigers' leadoff hitter Lelani Bernardino tripled to left center and scored on a Morgan Mosby single to right field. Laura Curtis followed with the Tigers' second run after an Islanders throwing error. Wheeler Hill and Kelly Braman scored on a fielder's choice by Cierra Mangum to give Memphis a 4-1 lead.
In the second frame the Islanders tallied one hit and left two stranded. J.J. Jackson started things off with a walk before she was caught stealing. Lindsey Lyles followed with a walk before she advanced to second on a Galloway single to left field. However, the Tigers escaped the jam on a strikeout. The Islanders' defense held Memphis scoreless in the bottom of the second with three quick outs.
The Islanders gained momentum in the top of the third to rally back and knot the score at 4-4. Cochran opened the inning with a walk before advancing to second on a Tefft single to left field.

The freshman made her first start in the circle and allowed seven hits, seven runs, two walks, while striking out three batters. Constance Brandenburg relieved Elicerio in the middle of the fifth inning and struck out two batters in 1.1 innings.
Sara Pearson sealed the victory for the Tigers with one strikeout in two innings. Ellen Roberts picked up the save with one strikeout in two innings.

text: Okay so this is long but I think it's important to get the details out there. I recently moved into a house I'm renting from my Uncle and he has a hot tub here that has always worked and we used it maybe 10 times since I moved in and everything worked beautifully. The water was kind of gross though so we turned the breaker in the garage off, drained it, scrubbed out the interior, then refilled it. Well I wasn't paying attention and when it was refilling it overflowed out the sides and the panel was still off from where we drained it which got a lot of the components wet. I drained it back to a normal level and then flipped the breaker back on and the control panel showed an SN error then after a minute or two an OH error. The heater and pumps never turned on. So I flipped the breaker back off and opened the inner panel to see the circuit board. I figured it was wet so I let it dry for a day and then flipped the breaker again. This time the tub didn't show any errors and the pumps and heater started up. The temperature read 57 degrees so I was excited it was working and decided to go about my day and let it heat up. When I got home that evening the tub was off and the breaker had been tripped. When I tried to flip the breaker on it instantly tripped again. So I opened the inner panel and unplugged each component one by one and tried the breaker each time to see if the breaker would stop tripping after I unplugged one. I'll include a picture below of the circuit board with a red box around the component I unscrewed. When I unscrewed section 2 which was holding down two wires that as far as I can tell go to the fuse and transformer, the breaker stopped tripping and stayed on. Mind you everything else had been unplugged at this point so the tub didn't do anything but the breaker didn't trip. So then I left section 2 unscrewed and plugged everything else back in then turned the breaker on and it stayed on but still nothing started up even though it wasn't being tripped. I have a repair person from Scioto Valley coming out on Thursday for $100 an hour but I would rather get some cheaper advice and help on here if that's possible. I included pictures of the circuit board below. Also, when I said breaker in this whole thing I meant the one in the garage, there is a separate GFCI breaker a couple feet from the hot tub outside but I opened it and there were just wires and stuff nothing I felt safe messing with.

NARH Rehabilitation Services
(413) 664-5448
The therapists at North Adams Regional Hospital have been helping residents of the Northern Berkshires stay as healthy and as functional as possible for over a quarter of a century. Many people have needed rehabilitation services in order to overcome an injury, illness or accident.
Rehab has become part of the treatment plan for people who have sustained sports injuries, work-related injuries, accidental injuries (motor vehicle accidents, etc), repetitive motion injuries, fractures, sprains, strains, hand and wrist injuries, and for many types of surgeries.
NARH rehabilitative services also have a major role in the primary treatment of acute and chronic neck and back problems, stroke rehabilitation, cardiopulmonary conditions, neurological dysfunction and in school-based rehabilitation. With proper follow-up care, therapy can decrease pain, and increase strength as well as mobility, balance, and functional capabilities, helping the patient return to work or to a normal level of everyday function at a much faster pace. In the school systems, therapy can help the child overcome or adjust to developmental delays, autism, cerebral palsy, and sensory integration dysfunction.
North Adams Regional Hospital offers the services of nine physical therapists/assistants, seven occupational therapists/assistants, and two speech therapists. For a full description of what each of these therapies cover, please click on the links at the left.

The Spartans have played a handful of notable games over the past four or five years, but always because of the opponent.
Either they were taking on top-ranked Alabama in the season opener or facing BCS-bound Boise State in November or trying to contain Nevada quarterback Colin Kaepernick or dueling with undefeated Hawaii under the lights.
This week, the stakes are high because of SJSU's success.
The Spartans' four-game winning streak, coupled with their legitimate designs on the WAC championship, makes Saturday's showdown with Utah State the most significant game SJSU has played in years.
A victory would place the conference title within reach -- not to mention a bowl berth and the most successful season SJSU has had in eons.
A victory would make nine wins (or more) a very real possibility.
Result: Bye
Grade: N/A
Comment: As noted in this space last week, the bye came at a good time for the Spartans.
Forget about losing momentum. Anytime you get an extra week to prepare and get healthy for a big game, it's good.
After a thorough film review, MacIntyre and his staff discovered a handful of reasons for the breakdowns on third-and-short -- from the running backs hitting the wrong holes to the linemen not holding their blocks long enough to issues with schemes and alignments.
The end result is poor red zone efficiency: The Spartans have scored touchdowns on just 55 percent of their opportunities.
When the senior tight end is involved in the downfield passing game, often through the use of play-action, SJSU usually scores touchdowns.
Otten is having his best season (20 catches in five games, 14.2 ypc) because he has a quarterback (David Fales) who delivers the ball accurately and on time ... and because the oft-injured Otten has stayed healthy.
"We can utilize him in the game plan because we know he's going to be out there," MacIntyre said.
First: -4
Second: +4
Third: +38
Fourth: +27
Speaks for itself.
Next up: vs. Utah State
The matchup: Difficult.
The Aggies, who lost 6-3 at Brigham Young on Friday, are the second-best team SJSU has faced (behind Stanford) and it's not even close.
In style and personnel, the Aggies are comparable to San Diego State -- and the Aztecs smacked SJSU's defense around to the tune of 34 points and 484 yards.
Utah State quarterback Chuckie Keeton is accurate short, middle and deep, and his mobility will be a challenge for SJSU's dynamite pass rush. (The Spartans must keep containment.)
Tailback Kerwynn Williams is a productive runner (95 yards vs. Utah) and receiver (78 yards vs Wisconsin) who can make big plays anywhere on the field.
The streak that includes 38-34 and 34-33 wins the past two seasons.
"Nobody on our team has ever beaten them," MacIntyre said. "I don't have to say much when that's the case."
But an even-keeled approach will be paramount for SJSU. When emotions run too high, mistakes usually follow.
But against Utah State, every mistake will be magnified -- and potentially costly.

The Systematic Character of the National Socialist Policy for the Extermination of the Jews: Electronic Edition, by Heinz Peter LongerichTable of Contents

F. Extension of the Deportations
1.After the Wannsee Conference, the RSHA continued the planning of the deportation of the Jews in the Greater German Reich and expanded it to a first European deportation programme which encompassed a total of six states in the first instance.
2.In a express letter to the head and subsidiary offices of the Gestapo of 31 January, Eichmann made clear that "the recent evacuations of Jews from individual areas to the East" provided "the beginning of the Final Solution of the Jewish Question in the the Ostmark and in the Protektorat Bohemia and Moravia "289
3.In a discussion between Eichmann and representatives of the head offices of the Gestapo of 6 May, it becomes clear that a further Reich -wide deportation programme had been set up within the RSHA: what Heydrich had already announced in November 1941 as "the third wave"290. Eichmann explained that in the course of this next programme, 55.000 Jews would be deported from the territory of the Reich inclusive of the Ostmark and the Protektorat. He also announced that most of the remaining Jews of the Reich would most likely be forcibly removed to Theresienstadt in the course of the Summer or Fall. Theresienstadt was being cleared at that time.
4.Within the framework of this third wave of deportations, Jewish people from different parts of the territory of the Reich - from Vienna as well as Theresienstadt - would be forcibly removed between March and June 1942. These would be brought to the District of Lublin - especially to Izbica, Piaska, Zamocs and Trawniki. The inhabitants of these ghettos had been deported to the extermination camp Belzec shortly before. As a rule, the deportation-trains from the Reich stopped in Lublin, where those men "fit for work" were separated out in order to be put to work in the forced labour camp at Majdanek.291
5.There is conclusive proof of 43 transports, which as a rule carried 1000 people each. There are however indications of further transports, amounting to a probable 60 trains in all.292
6.The pattern of the deportation of Central European Jews and the extermination of the Eastern European Jews followed the same procedure as the first two waves of deportations in Fall 1941 and the following Winter. The living conditions in the ghettos in the District of Lublin led to a miserable death for the great majority of the deportees within few months of their arrival. Those who survived the conditions of the ghetto were generally deported to extermination camps in the Generalgouvernement. In March 1942, the deportations were also extended to two countries outside of the German Reich.
7.According to an agreement with Slovakia, young Jews who were "fit for work" were deported to Majdanek in the district of Lublin and to Auschwitz. Directly after this programme was introduced, following a request of the Germans, the Slovakian government declared their willingness to deport all Slovakian Jews (close to 90.000 people). The deportation of families was started 11 April. By June, 11 trains had arrived in Auschwitz and a further 28 had gone to ghettos in the disrict of Lublin, or the camp at Majdanek.293
8.In France, the military administration had decided in December 1941 to send the first transport with hostages of 1000 Jewish men to the East. This transport had been organised since January 1941, but had not been sent off due to lack of a means of transportation.
9.After Eichmann had agreed to the deportation of these 1000 people on 1 March294, a discussion within the RSHA of 4 March resulted in a decision to propose the deportation of a further "appr. 5000 Jews to the East" to the French government. This was recorded by Dannecker, the expert for Jewish questions of the Gestapo in Paris.295 Dannecker also told the Embassy staff-member in charge of Jewish affairs Zeitschel, that Heydrich had agreed that, after the deportation of the first 1000 people, "a further 5000 Jews would be transported in the course of 1942" and that he had "agreed that further even larger transports could be carried out."296 While the first transport - which left on 27 March and arrived in Auschwitz 30 March297 - was still declared a repressive measure against the French resistance, the coming "hostage-transports"were to be part of the course of a concrete programme of deportations.
10.The deportation of 5000 people to Auschwitz, which Heydrich had announced at the beginning of March, was carried out between 5 June and 17 July. These five transports - as the transports of families from Slovakia which started in April - were at this point already part of the first European-wide deportation programme of the RSHA. An important piece of evidence as to the existence of this programme is found in a note from the office of the Slovakian prime minister Tuka, dated 10 April, concerning a visit by Heydrich.298 On this occasion, Heydrich explained to Tuka that the planned deportation of Slovakian Jews was only "a part of the programme".299 At the time, there was an "resettlement"of altogether "1/2 million"Jews "out of Europe to the East". Aside from Slovakia, the Reich, the Protektorat, the Netherlands, Belgium and France were also affected.
11.On 11 June 1942, a discussion took place in the Department for Jewish affairs of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt. The German experts on Jewish affairs stationed in Paris, The Hague and Brussels gathered to discuss the occupied Western European part of the general European deportation programme. Dannecker, the expert for Jewish affairs of the Gestapo in Paris, made a note to himself stating that Himmler had given the order to "provide larger quantities of Jews to the Auschwitz concentration camp, to increase the work-force. This is on the primary condition that the Jews (of both sexes) be between 16 and 40 years old. 10% who are not fit for work can be sent with them. "300
12.According to Danneckers note, 15.000 Jews were to be deported from the Netherlands, 10.000 from Belgium and 100.000 from France, starting 13 July.301

Experience Native American culture
Published: Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:53 p.m.
The Native American Annual Mass is set for 6 p.m. Friday at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Dulac.
Heading into its 19th year, the free local event is held to commemorate Kateri Tekakwitha's life and how she had been the only Native American officially recognized by the church as blessed.
The event starts with a reading of the Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha's story. Other activities include a Blessing of the Four Directions, traditional Native American dancing, the fanning of sage, cedar and tobacco smoke, and drumming from the Miracle Drum Group of Pointe-aux-Chenes.

CECIL HURT: Playing meaningful nonconference games could get Alabama fans to stay
Published: Thursday, October 24, 2013 at 9:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 12:40 a.m.
Nick Saban certainly has a right to ask for an attentive fan base, if only because, as he noted on Wednesday, people play attention to empty seats — players and prospects. "Atmosphere," as Saban notes, is a strong selling point, whether it is 95,000 people at an A-Day or a full house of fanatics waiting until the opponent, even a hapless one, is subdued.
Sometimes, opponents are subdued shortly after halftime, sometimes earlier.
That doesn't mean interesting things can't happen.
Last week, in a blowout of Arkansas, the young reserves on defense had to fight to preserve a shutout and Saban got to display his rarely-seen look of dismay — I guess it was dismay, and not wrath — as freshman Derrick Henry raced 80 yards for a touchdown when burning 60 seconds was probably the,plan, moreso than scoring six points.
On the other hand, there are circumstances in which fans, like it or not, leave. They get cold, or bored, or face a long drive home, sometimes late at night.
I think the all-day tailgate culture can contribute to fatigue in a game that isn't providing intermittent jolts of on-the-field adrenaline. There are two sides to this story, and neither side is entirely wrong.
Should Saban somehow instruct his team to play closer, more exciting games? Of course not. The notion is silly. Furthermore, there is no pleasing some people, and many of the same fans who complain about blowouts would gripe even more about games that "durn near gave me a heart attack." But should fans who have to drive back to Mobile or Madison not get home until 3 a.m. after a night game? A lot of fans who live at the Theta Chi house aren't going to get home until 3 a.m. either, but that is a different issue.
Maybe each side of the discussion should be willing to negotiate. That's the American way. So here is a modest proposal — in other words, a scheme so hare-brained that no one would consider it, even though it makes sense.
Perhaps Saban's boss, Bill Battle, could help. Maybe if Alabama fans promise to set aside their outside considerations and buy into the "play for 60, stay for 60" movement, Battle could take that into consideration and, like a crimson Santa Claus, could reward the nice instead of figuring out a plan to punish the naughty.
What sort of reward would be appropriate? How about a big-time home-and-home series, one that rewards the loyal diehards by giving them a nonconference opponent that would be worth sticking around for?
I understand that this is a transitional time for future schedules, with uncertainty about the impending new playoff structure and also the number of SEC games.
But surely something could be worked out. Other traditional powers are doing it. You can lobby for your own favorite opponent — Notre Dame, Michigan, Oklahoma. Here's a suggestion: why not schedule USC — the one in Los Angeles, not South Carolina — for 2020 and 2021, the golden anniversary of two games against the Trojans that still resound in Alabama history.
I don't know if that could happen. I do know it would be worth sticking around for.

Last season Silver Bluff was left for dead with a three and three record. But when it was all said and done, the Bulldogs were in the lower state championship game. With plenty of experience back, look for the Dogs to possibly do it again.
It'll all start up front with Silver Bluff. Five of six offensive linemen return and most of them will still be underclassmen. They were forced to grow up quickly last year with a slew of injuries but the young kids came up big. Now they fully expect to carry the momentum into the new season.
"I mean we had to go through a lot of adversity" said James Jacks "I think we really grew up as a team last year. I think it's just going to make us better this year."
"We worked hard, we worked really hard this summer and in the off season" said coach Al Lown "So that I think has made more of a difference coming up now then the playing time they got. So they're excited about everything"
Of course they do have to replace Mr. Everything Cordrea Tankersly and coach Lown says you don't replace one of the top athletes he's ever had. But Lown did say they had one of their best off seasons which leads to the high hopes this year


text: Unconsciously, it seems, I had waited a lifetime for Kismet. This was not my first attempt at a family of my own but, though I never resisted the idea, one way or another, fatherhood had eluded me. And for some reason I never thought I would have a daughter. When the sex of the foetus emerged relatively late in my wife's pregnancy, I was unaccountably emotional; for the first time since childhood I experienced a desire wholly voided of lust. Life seemed to be coming together, albeit only once its setting had been transformed.

As I'm trying to troubleshoot my 2nd x0x i thought i would map out the voltages on my other working x0x as a reference. I've done this as a new layer in the Freeware Eagle Layout 5.6 software over the ladyada Eagle mainboard layout.
Here's the modified file to load into Eagle layout
As I'm a total novice myself someone may want to go over this file to OK it but hopefully its fairly accurate. I set every working x0x dial to 0 except for Cutoff which was at about the 2o'clock position.
If you spot any glaring errors please pm me or post here.
I've noticed depending if you hit keyboard buttons when testing voltages this can alter volts drastically in the vco IC's and therefore other parts of the VCO. I believe I had my x0x in keyboard and pressed C to get 2.0V

Levee District to bid work on Little Caillou floodgate
Published: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 6:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 6:11 p.m.
The Bayou Little Caillou floodgate, the centerpiece of connecting the eastern and western sides of Terrebonne's Morganza-to-the-Gulf levee project, is moving forward.
The Terrebonne Levee District Board voted Monday night to advertise for construction bids on the floodgate, estimated to cost about $22 million, said Terrebonne Levee Director Reggie Dupre.
The project will be one of the first to move forward thanks to $95.8 million in bond revenue the Levee Board secured last month. In December, voters approved a 1/2-cent sales tax Levee District officials said was necessary to continue rapid work on the Morganza project. The 28-year tax will raise $330 million for levees. Repayment of the bond debt will span over 25 years.
Morganza is a system of levees and floodgates that protect Terrebonne and parts of Lafourche parishes from storm flooding.
The Little Caillou floodgate will be installed in the bayou about a half-mile south of Bayou Sale Road in Cocodrie where the Levee District's levee work ends. The floodgate was originally planned to be 56 feet wide, but the small opening would have caused water velocity problems, Dupre said. The floodgate is now designed to a width of 110 feet, and it will rise 18 feet above the water.
The Levee District also plans to use the bond money to build levees connecting work in Cocodrie to ongoing levee construction at the Houma Navigation Canal and Bayou Grand Caillou. That will help close the system at the bottom of Lake Boudreaux, which has eroded into a wide and open bay that causes flooding problems for east Houma, Dulac and Chauvin.
"This will provide a closed system for about 75 percent of the parish," Dupre said.
Parish Councilman Dirk Guidry, who represents Chauvin, said closing off the bottom of Lake Boudreaux will provide a lot of security for Little Caillou and other communities.
"Everyone I talk to is really excited about all the work that's being done," Guidry said. "Eighty-one percent of our people supported the (Morganza) tax, the highest rate in the parish. I think bayou people understand the need a little differently."
Guidry said new floodgates in Placid and Bush canals have already made a difference, holding back several feet of water during Tropical Storm Lee in 2011 and Hurricane Isaac in 2012.
The parish is also preparing to raise the Ward 7 levee to 10 feet, giving additional protection to Chauvin, Guidry said.
"I'm thankful to the Levee District and to Terrebonne Parish President Michel Claudet, and that the people of this parish had the insight to know that we need this flood protection," Guidry said. "It's great to see it finally getting done."

Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook upended Larry Ellison of Oracle (ORCL) in 2011 to become the highest paid chief executive at a publicly traded Bay Area company, raking in $378 million for his first year as the company's top executive.
Almost all of it was in shares Cook can't sell for years -- stock that his board hopes is motivation to stick around. Other executive compensation deals made last year reflect a growing trend toward tying executive pay to performance, after advisory "say on pay" votes from investors.
Cook's staggering total pay overshadowed Ellison's relatively modest $77.5 million, which included $62.6 million in option awards.
Median pay for Bay Area CEOs was about $3 million, according to this newspaper's annual What the Boss Makes survey. That's up from about $2.8 million in 2010.
The survey looked at CEO salaries, bonuses, stock grants and options reported by the Bay Area's 198 biggest publicly traded companies for their 2011 fiscal year, as compiled by Equilar, an executive compensation research firm.
The survey uses the reported value of stock and options granted during the fiscal year, although the executive might not profit from those grants until they are vested or exercised in the future.
Coming in third was John Hammergren, the head honcho at health care giant McKesson. He received $32 million, down 5 percent from 2010. Rounding out the top five were Altera's John P. Daane, who was paid $29.6 million and Chevron's John Watson, with $18.1 million, a 30 percent increase from 2010. Most of Daane's pay was options and stock, giving him a 278 percent boost from the previous year.
Out of 199 CEOs at 198 companies -- Prologis has co-CEOS -- 100 CEOs had pay increases, 62 saw their pay drop, and five were flat. An additional 32 CEOs hadn't been with their companies for at least two years, and were not counted. The median increase was 33 percent; the median decrease was 22 percent.
As institutional investors and major shareholders have increasingly questioned executive pay packages, boards of directors have responded with transparency. For example, the boards of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Apple and McKesson offered lengthy explanations of how they made their decisions.
Cook's actual take-home was $1.8 million in pay and a bonus. The rest -- 1 million shares of Apple -- vests over 10 years. The value was calculated at Apple's share price at the time the award was granted, but as of July 11, with Apple closing at about $598 a share, the value of Cook's restricted stock has grown to almost $600 million.
In a filing, HP -- which lost a "say on pay" shareholder vote in 2011 -- said that it "engaged in substantial ongoing discussions with institutional investors to gather feedback" on its executive compensation packages. CEO Meg Whitman's pay of $16.5 million makes her 10th on the list. This year, shareholders overwhelmingly approved its executive compensation plan.
"Say on pay is doing what everyone thought it would do, which is shine a bright light on compensation," said Joseph Yaffe, a partner specializing in executive pay issues at Skadden, Arps, a law firm.
That has forced companies to be more open with shareholders, said Charles Tharp, CEO of the Center On Executive Compensation.
"Many companies are really engaging with larger shareholders to explain their pay philosophy, and the board's role to make sure that pay and performance are linked," Tharp said.
Say on pay "has had a fairly significant effect," said Robin Ferracone, CEO of Farient Advisors, an executive compensation consulting firm. "HP is a good example. "
HP said it would move to target its executives' pay at the median of its peer group, rather than the 75th or 90th percentiles. That reflects another trend.
One measure boards often use to figure out what to pay their CEOs is to look at what a group of "peer" companies pay their leaders. The problem, critics say, is that boards have tended to target pay at substantially above the median, sending executive pay up in a perpetual spiral.
The peer process "is totally flawed," said Charles Elson at the University of Delaware's John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance. "Everyone wants to be paid above their peers."
The idea rests on the belief that an executive's talents is transferable from one company to another. "But a lot of these people aren't that transferable, and when they do transfer they don't do very well."

Total pay was calculated as the sum of base salary, discretionary and performance-based cash bonuses, the grant date value of stock and option awards, and other compensation. The survey was performed by Equilar, a provider of compensation data to corporations, investors, the media and others.

Justices Scale Back Restitution in Child-Porn Cases
The Supreme Court in a 5-4 ruling Wednesday sought to sort out the wrenching question of how much money in restitution is owed to victims of child pornography by the people who collect and view it.
A majority of justices threw out a $3.4 million civil judgment against a man who pleaded guilty to possessing pornographic images of a woman that were taken when she was a young child and were later circulated online. The court reversed an earlier ruling by the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
While sympathizing with the woman's plight, the justices concluded that the restitution amount was excessive given the man's lesser role in her abuse. ">The defendant, Doyle Paroline of Texas, didn't take the photos, which were shot and distributed by the woman's uncle, who was also prosecuted. Mr. Paroline admitted to having two images of the woman, known as "Amy."
Federal law makes restitution mandatory for child-pornography offenses. But restitution must be "based exclusively on the losses that resulted from the defendant's crime—not on the defendant's relative culpability," wrote Justice Anthony Kennedy. He was joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, and Elena Kagan.
But the justices also recognized that the man played a part in her abuse by trading in her images and helping to encourage the spread of child pornography.
"The unlawful conduct of everyone who reproduces, distributes, or possesses the images of the victim's abuse—including Paroline — plays a part in sustaining and aggravating this tragedy," Justice Kennedy wrote.
The high court left it up to courts to "assess as best it can from available evidence the significance of the individual defendant's conduct in light of the broader causal process that produced the victim's losses," wrote Justice Kennedy.
Chief Justice John Roberts disagreed with the majority, saying courts could not be expected to be able to make such a calculation within the limits of the law.
"A showing of but-for causation is not the proper standard here, for it is not possible to prove that the victim's losses would be less but for one possessor's individual role in the large, loosely connected network through which her images circulate," wrote Justice Roberts, who was joined by Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor also dissented but thought Mr. Paroline should be responsible for paying the entire $3.4 million sum. She said the restitution limits supported by the majority would create a "safe harbor for those who inflict upon their victims the proverbial death by a thousand cuts," a result that she said Congress never intended.

What would you like to study?
Posted 17 March 2004 - 12:06 AM
However, I'm really interested to know what students of today feel.
If you are currently doing your GCSEs - what do you think? What would you like to study? What would improve GCSE History?
If you are planning to take GCSE, or even didn't opt to take it - what do you think - what do you think would encourage more people to take history?
Any sensible, well explained suggestions are welcome. In fact, I don't even know why I said that - all good history students make sensible, explained suggestions don't they!
Posted 17 March 2004 - 05:57 PM
Regarding the actual GCSE system, I was shocked to find out that there are no tiered GCSE History exam papers. I understand that the examiners award marks on the basis of detail and evidence of understanding in your answer, but surely this can be also be done on tiered papers? I feel that perhaps the less able students are at a slight disadvantage when they sit the exam.
I believe that there are many ways in which the teachers can encourage students to opt for GCSE History. I believe that school trips can be very useful at achieving this as students love to hear that they will be going on trips! For example, I am studying Jack The Ripper as part of my coursework, and my teacher has arranged a trip to go up to London and go on the Jack The Ripper night tour. When my teacher told our class this, all of a sudden, there was a great interest in Jack The Ripper (although many of us were already very keen on the JTR coursework). I am really looking forward to the trip as I believe (and obviously my teacher) that it will really help my understanding on the topic, and it will be something different anyway

However, although no history is boring (just some periods are less colourful than others), British history of that era is not the most stimulating and interesting due to rigid workings of politics. Everything was so orderly. I feel that a topic to learn at any level would have to be medieval England, Tudors and Stuarts. Especially medieval England with all the back stabbing, greed and wars. Makes for much more interesting time than "the passing of this act and the passing of that act"!People in Britian feel we are forgetting our heritage and were we come from so we should learn British history. To lure people i would recommend an era that was slighty different to ours but recognisable and understandable like that of medieval England....fasinating

I'm about to sit A2 history and have followed the WJEC course studying British C19th Political Reform (c. 1815-1914) and the French Revolution. For GCSE I studied the AQA course Medicine through time and Nazi Germany. I've found that with the new A/S system historians have not been given a fair deal since, and unlike for instance biology, history is a progressive subject it requires synoptic knowledge to be able to understand the entire topic. Thus perhaps we could get away from this A/S system? But obviously that's not going to happen anytime soon. I have to agree with my teacher that there are too many students these days studying Nazi Germany from year 9 right through to year 13 and in some cases beyond. Perhaps one might consider, given the changes being planned, introducing a rule that forbids such a situation, it surely cannot be good for the creation of future historians.
As for the content in history courses, I have to say that it compares favourably well with other subjects since with extra reading there can be as much or as little content as the individual desires. Comparing with the other subjects I do, that is French and German (I also did Music and English A/S), the amount of work for history and the topic range is on a par, and for GCSE it is perhaps greater since there are so many areas of study. Having said that, talking to fellow students whilst on interview at Oxford I've discovered that the WJEC history course is one of the most examined, I believe that some of the English boards have two pieces of coursework whereas I only have one...

well i thougt it was a good idea at the time

Thus perhaps we could get away from this A/S system? But obviously that's not going to happen anytime soon. I have to agree with my teacher that there are too many students these days studying Nazi Germany from year 9 right through to year 13 and in some cases beyond. Perhaps one might consider, given the changes being planned, introducing a rule that forbids such a situation, it surely cannot be good for the creation of future historians.
The AS/A2 system will not exist as we know it in 6 or 7 years time. The curriculum developments that will happen as a result of the Tomlinson Report are likely to transform Post 16 education (and KS4 as well). I'd imagine that the system will be closer to the IB course than the current AS/A2 mix, though nothing has been finalised as of yet.

The amount of coursework you've had is down to the History department at your school. Certainly on the syllabus that I deliver (Edexcel) there is an option to have units assessed either by examination or coursework. You could, for example, be given an Individual assignment AND coursework for other units. On the other hand, you could be given no coursework at all.

Please advocate more medieval and renaissance history! Vesalius and Harvey was the best bit about the old GCSE!
I think a mix is better with regard to exams and coursework. One thing I have come across when talking about the exams with one or two people in my history class is that we would like to see no limits on the exams themselves. For instance the synoptic essay we have for A-Level is set at 50 minutes and there's no way you can give a good acccount of yourself in that short space of time especially trying to cover 100 years of history. We thought perhaps having an entire exam session (3 hours I think) to write the essay. The logic behind this is that those who can write well will be given the opportunity and those who are able to only write 50 minutes worth can do so as well. In history you need time to think and at the moment you can't.

Inevitably you write from a personal perspective. It is your views which are being solicited after all.
However I would just point out that it would have been perfectly possible for your course to have focused on a Medieval and/or the Renaissance period. The fact that it hasn't is a reflection of the strengths and interests (and available resources too probably) of the History Dept at your school. Each of the Exam Boards offers a number of Options and 'routes' through the AS and A2 specifications. The only requirements are that a student takes a English/British Module and a European/American HistoryModule at AS. Depending on the Exam Board an AS student may/may not take a Coursework Module.
At A2 one of the Modules must be a synoptic one. ...... I am sure you get the picture, but things are not as rigid as might first appear
The courses that any school/college chose to offer though tends to be driven to some extent by what are/what are perceived to be 'market forces'. (ie what the prospective students are thought to be interested in studying) In many institutions it is a matter of 'bums on seats' and if insufficient students 'sign up' then a course will not run.
Interestingly, at my own school, (where History is normally the most popular Option Choice at AS and where the subject is offered in two different Option Blocks) we decided to ensure that whichever Block a student was in we would ensure that they studied some Medieval, some Early Modern and some Modern History as part of their course. However we had both the expertise and the resources in order to do this. Not all schools will be in that position.
Regarding the synoptic paper, I do understand what you are saying about the time allowed. Personally I think an hour would be a fairer length of time to answer a question, but I do know that the Chief Examiners' answer to your observation would be that the mark of a really good candidate is the ability to focus very sharply on the question and to be selective in the material used to support the argument being developed in the answer. I do rather think that allowing people as long as 3 hours in which to write the essay would lead to long, waffly and descriptive answers.
Can I stress that I am not criticising your views, but offering information and observations in reply to what you have said.

If this history was taught it would not only give students a real understanding of modern day Britain but also would help to deal with the problem of voter apathy among the young!
Ihope you won't mind me moving your post, but what you had to say, Justine, seemed appropriately placed in this thread.

If you are currently doing your GCSEs - what do you think? What would you like to study? What would improve GCSE History?
However, I'm really interested to know what students of today feel.
I am currently in Year 11 [GCSEs in June], following the Edexcel Syllabus, studying:
*The Rise and Fall of the Communist State: The Soviet Union, 1928 - 1991
*Superpower Relations, 1945 - 1990
*The War to End Wars, 1914 - 1919
*The World at War, 1938 - 1945
This is the end of my second year in the British Education System, as previously, my schooling had always been in French [despite having lived between Britain and the USA].
In the French System, the History taught is generally about France and her victories. Early on, you also study Islam and the Ancient Egyptians...all with a heavy French input. There is nothing wrong with it, but I never much enjoyed it.
After having switched [so at the beginning of Year 10], I dreaded History, because I thought that it would be much of the same thing. It was also quite a new approach to the subject as in the French System, History and Geography are taught as one subject, and I didn't quite know what to expect. I think that the British System is great in the way that History and Geography are taught separately.
I was also extremely surprised and interested once we began the course. It was so different in its focus, in the way questions should be tackled, and also in subject matter. I had never studied Modern World History, and consequently, knew surprisingly little about it. There is not one aspect of my course that I have found dull or uninteresting, and I have particularly enjoyed studying the Cold War.
I now love Modern World History, and am keen to read further into it by myself, which I doubt would have been the case had I never been introduced to it. I think that it is fascinating to study at GCSE, and a great way to get motivated students interested in the subject. Additionally, schools could perhaps also introduce several course options? However, I do understand that this possibilty greatly depends on the size of the school and amount of staff. - I can't complain though, for GCSE, I have been completely satisfied in that respect.
At the end of Year 10, we were given the option to drop a few subjects, and one of the options was History. I was stunned at the amount of people who dropped it. There are now only about 30 of us across the year who study History, and I imagine that the reason for this is the amount of work and knowledge required in order to acheive a successful grade. All subjects require work and effort, good grades don't fall from the sky, but I feel as though History is particularly challenging. However, contrarily to others, I felt that it was more important to keep a subject I was interested in, as opposed to what would be easier, since I would therefore be more encouraged to make an effort. I also agree with James in that the introduction of tiers into GCSE History would be more profitable for less able students, [and those who do not opt to take History purely though fear of not being able to get a good grade].
In History, there is tremendous amount to know - in my mock, I felt extraordinarily stressed [more so than in other exams] and very pressed for time. At some stages, I had to put my pen down for a few minutes because I couldn't think straight and because the room had started to spin. It wasn't due to the fact that exams are stressful, because, on the contrary, maybe I wasn't stressed enough. There is just so much to know, and so much to write down in such a short space of time, especially for Paper 1, which I find to be the more heavily-weighted and difficult? paper.
A slot of 2 hours is allocated for Paper 1 and a 1 and half hour slot for Paper 2 [which is source-based]. I think that either, there is not enough time allocated, or the sheer amount of questions and what there is to write is a bit [or extremely] 'off-putting'.
For Paper 1, 2 questions in 2 hours, where
Total for part a] = 20 marks
Total for part b] = 25 marks
Paper 2, 2 questions on each of the wars, where the whole question is worth 30 marks.
Quite frankly, Paper 1 scares me.
Perhaps the time should be broken up? To make the load seem less cumbersome? In one sitting: one question in one hour? So instead of Paper 1 being taken in one sitting, there could be two?
Maybe there are reasons for the current 'set-up' of the papers, such as exam-scheduling, but I sure find it a lot to handle, and know that others sitting the same exam agree.
I don't know, just a few ideas, perhaps similar to those above, but that's my input.

I'm studying the Emancipation of Women in England at the moment and have done some work on Russia and Germany. History, I believe, is very popular in my Year and a third or maybe more of the 180 students are taking it.
I do worry that there will not be enough time for me to think in the exams, but I'm not sure that is part of this topic.
I would agree that we only seem to study English and European history and although I think that we need the chance to learn about other cultures/countries/continents the amount of history we could learn is so immense I don't even feel as though I have learnt more than a drop in the ocean of, for example, British history so focusing on a set range of topics is perhaps a good thing, even if it is confining. After the Tudors and Stuarts of earlier years moving sharply away to a very different history, for example, of Africa could be difficult.
While studying Citizenship I found that my class was not confident or very willing to learn about Zimbabwe. Overall, we really didn't know anything about the culture of history of this country (there was 1 SA student who did know more) and so really needed a lot of background information that just was not provided, when talking about Europe or England it is much easier because we have a better understanding of European culture/history. I suppose you could say that were we taught with a wider range of topics this would not be a problem...
Do you think that a very wide choice would just not be used, or very difficult to teach? If the school decides what is studied I imagine that typical subjects would be used (eg, Nazi Cermany, WW1 etc) because we already have a background education in European history. If the students chose and chose a wide range would that mean independant learning or limitations decided on by the school?
Then again, where there are options, students like the choice and it encourages more students to take the subject because they fell as though IMO the subject is catering for them and allowing them to do what they want and feel they can do well in; not just what the school or government wants.
I guess that there are only so many lessons in the GCSE course and already there seems too much to cram in, I hope how much we study is re-evaluated as well .

WISE, Va. – No. 12 University of Pikeville outscored U.Va.-Wise outscored U.Va.-Wise 54-18 in the second half and turned a one-point game into an 85-48 decision Monday night.
Pikeville will be seeded No. 2 in the Mid-South Conference tournament on Friday, playing at 6 p.m. against St. Catharine College at the Frankfort Civic Center. The Bears will head to the postseason 24-5 overall, finishing the regular season 15-5 in the league.
The win gave the Bears five straight to end the regular season, all against Mid-South Conference competition.
U.Va.-Wise (11-14, 7-13) will be the eight seed and play top-seeded Lindsey Wilson on Friday at 2 p.m.
The first-half was tied six times, and when senior Jermaine Wright sank his second of two free throws with 25 seconds left in the half, the Cavs led 30-29. The Bears brought the ball downcourt and found junior P.J. Jenkins for a 15-foot baseline jumper, putting them on top 31-30 at the half.
That bucket keyed a 12-0 start to the second half that bled into a rout. By the 7:00 mark after senior Trevor Setty sank a three, the Bears had outscored the Cavs 37-8 to start the half and led 68-38.
In the second half, the Bears were 10-of-16 (62.5 percent) from the arc.
Setty led all scorers with 22 points and his 10 rebounds gave him four straight double-doubles to end the season. Senior post Terrance Saintil finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Senior Jamar Briscoe followed with 13 while Jenkins tossed in 10 in only five minutes of play.
Senior guard Chris Johnson scored seven with eight assists and five rebounds.
Only one Cav reached double figures, as sophomore Tyler Maggard had 12, all in the first half. Junior Deon Boyce scored nine but pulled down 16 rebounds and handed out four assists.
Pikeville won the rebounding battle 49-46 and forced 19 Cavalier turnovers.

1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon Cinnamon, divided
2 1/2 lbs. Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored & sliced
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Place bread slices in a 15"x10" jelly-roll pan. I just used my large sheet pan.
If you have small cookie sheets, you may need to use two pans.
The directions did not say how small or big to tear the bread pieces. I cut mine into one inch cubes but you may prefer to chop your pieces up a bit smaller.
Combine melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and bread in a medium bowl; toss gently until moistened.
Place 1/2 cup bread pieces in a casserole dish.
Top with half the apple mixture. Layer with one cup bread pieces and remaining apple mixture.
Toss remaining bread over apple mixture.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45-50 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Some 71% of Venezuela's Electric Energy System is Outdated
From El Universal
Venezuela's Electric Energy Minister Héctor Navarro stated that 71% of the national electric system has been out of date for 20 years.
During his speech at the National Assembly on the energy projects that will be financed through indebtedness next year, the official informed that energy production accounted for 30,676 megawatts (MW) by October, while demand stood at 17,965 MW.
Navarro said energy demand peaked in October. "We hope it does not go any higher." He added that energy consumption often rises amid high temperatures.
Although the energy minister extolled the achievements made so far within the framework of the Great Mission Housing Venezuela, he warned the incorporation of new homes will boost energy consumption by 400 MW.

Neighbors living in National Hills are fighting to keep a towering condominium within its limits. Developers want to build a 14 story building right where National Hills Shopping Center now sits right across from Augusta National. But the neighborhood association says the developers should keep the height of the building within ordinance.
Along Washington Road, National Hills Shopping Center advertises that there is retail space available. Pretty soon though, the space will be transformed into luxury condominiums.
"They are proposing to redo the shopping center according to this," Bob Austin, Zoning Administrator said.
The National Hills Neighborhood Association says the towering complex would cause drainage problems and create more traffic headaches along an already busy road.
"Of course this tall building will tower over the residence a little bit so that's why they are opposed to any building of what is allowed, which is 105 feet," Austin said.
The zoning ordinance allows for condos to be built up to 6 stories high, but developers want to add more stories, an issue that has them going to the Zoning Board Of Appeals.
Developers want to go beyond the ordinance. Their plans call for a 14 story building, 8 stories higher than what's approved in the ordinance.
"The Board can either approve it or deny it," Austin said.
Rebbeca Doughty lives behind the current shopping center. Her Neighborhood Association is petitioning the height of the condo. They want her to sign a petition, but she wants to know more.
"I would like to know why people don't want that," Doughty said.
Neighbor Frances Jones received a similar call from the Association.
"There would be a petition coming around the neighborhood for people to sign who objected to it," Jones said.
The Neighborhood Association plans to meet with homeowners over the weekend and explain why the taller condo may have an adverse affect on the neighorhood; drainage and traffic being number one.
Developers plan to meet with the Zoning Board Of Appeals sometime in January to appeal for a taller building.

What I'm trying to gain an understanding of then is what PS3 Media Server is for. Is the idea to bundle codecs and provide plugin support or is there more to it than that? At a basic level I guess the question is, what are the advantages of switching to this product?

Enabling Electronics to Make Automobiles Safer
ARM and its partners are increasingly focused on driver assistance systems and chassis applications that help a driver detect and avoid obstacles and thus avoid crashes. ADAS removes driving stress with lane keeping and automatic cruise control (ACC), and will evolve to autonomous drive.
Driver assistance systems and chassis applications include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control to help the vehicle maintain safe distance from the car in front
- Automated Parking
- Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS)
- Camera and Sensors and Radar, Lidar that alert drivers to objects in their path (front rear and 360 view)
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which intervenes to avert an impending loss of control
- Lane Keeping and Departure Detection warning systems to alert the driver of an unintended departure from the intended lane of travel
- Tire Pressure Monitoring
- Vision systems to improve night-time "sight" with radar and infra-red vision
- Electrical Power Steering

In the United States a pedestrian is injured by an automobile every 8 minutes, and are 1.5 times more likely than a vehicle's occupants to be killed in an automobile crash per outing. Improvements in roadway and automobile design have steadily reduced injury and death rates. Auto collisions remain the leading cause of injury-related deaths, with nearly two-thirds of those affected being pedestrians. Much is dicussed about the use of electronics inside automobiles to entertain. However, there is a larger ecosystem focused on enabling electronics to make automobiles safer. This takes the form of "active safety" where technology assists in the prevention of a crash and "passive safety" that help to protect occupants during a crash.
