A Day No Pigs Would Die
by Robert Newton Peck
A Day No Pigs Would Die Principles Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
As I went down, losing my grip on the calf's neck, her hoof caught my shinbone and it really smarted. The only thing that made me get up and give the whole idea another go was when he bawled again.
I'd just wound up running away from Edward Thatcher and running away from the schoolhouse. I was feathered if I was going to run away from one darn more thing. (1.9-10)
As if dealing with a bully isn't enough for one day, now Rob has to act as midwife for a thousand-pound cow. But that's what this boy learned from Papa—you won't get anywhere by running away from things.
Quote #2
"Never miss a chance," Papa had once said, "to keep your mouth shut." And the more I studied on it, the sounder it grew. (10.13)
Oh, Papa. So wise. Shmoop sure could use that reminder once in a while. In fact, it reminds us of something Mark Twain once said: "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt" (source). Zing!
Quote #3
There I be. Me, at Rutland Fair, marching around a big sawdust ring with all the people clapping their hands and pointing at Bob and Bib. It made my heart pound so hard I felt it was going to pump out right there in that ring. I was wishing that Mama and Papa and Aunt Carrie could see. Pinky, too. It was sinful, but I wanted the whole town of Learning to see me just this once. If only Edward Thatcher could see. And Jacob Henry, and Becky Tate. (10.29)
Oops. Can't let those sinful prideful thoughts take over your mind, Rob. Remember—plain is as plain does.

The 1994 Rwanda genocide was one of the worst horrific human catastrophes that has befallen mankind. it is estimated that the genocide left over 800,000 people dead , 1.7 million displaced, 400,000 widowed, 500,000 and 130,000 arrested on suspicion of committing acts of genocide. The consequences of this genocide are still felt to date . Despite the fact that the causes of genocide were apparent, no commendable steps were taken by the international community particularly the United Nations to avert the it. Amidst growing criticism and having established that the 'genocide and other systematic, widespread and flaggarant violations of international humanitarian law…committed in Rwanda…constituted a threat to international peace and security' the UN adopted Resolution 955 establishing the International Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) to prosecute all those responsible for the genocide and other human rights violations that occurred in Rwanda between 1st January and 31st December 1994. This study evaluates the contribution of the ICTR to the evolvement of International Criminal Law by highlighting its successes and challenges as by early 2009.

Navarro TKOs Del Valle.By Boxing Press May 28th, 2005 All Press Releases
2000 Olympian Jose Navarro returned to the ring on Friday night for the first time sine his controversal loss to champion Katsushige Kawashima for the WBC super flyweight championship. In what many observers noted was a clear win for Navarro, the young Mexican-American was nonetheless denied the victory and given his first professional defeat. While in the wings for another crack at the title, Navarro kept busy by beating Miguel Del Valle on Friday night in San Antonio, Texas, USA. Navarro hurt Del Valle to the body and while recuperating, Del Valle indicated that he did not want to fight on, thus awarding a TKO victory to Navarro in the third round.

Q. I am taking courses at a community college but don't know where to transfer. What should I do?
A. Start taking coursework that meets the MassTransfer Block requirements. Make sure you keep a copy of your college catalog and course syllabi. Talk to your transfer counselor or academic advisor about transfer options. Inquire at your college about career planning seminars or aptitude testing, which may help you decide where to go next. There are also transfer coordinators at each campus.
Q. Can I transfer to any Massachusetts post-secondary institution?
A. Virtually all public and independent institutions in Massachusetts accept transfer students; however, the MassTransfer policy applies only to public institutions.
Q. Can I transfer to and from institutions outside of Massachusetts?
A. Yes. Many students transfer to and from institutions outside of Massachusetts. Check with your academic advisor to see how coursework is accepted between the institutions. While independent and out-of-state institutions do not currently participate in the MassTransfer policy, other transfer agreements may be in place between the schools.
Q. Can I transfer courses from more than one institution?
A. Yes. Remember, you must submit official transcripts from each institution you attended. Please note: some courses may transfer but may not meet program requirements for graduation.
Q. Is there a minimum grade for course transfer?
A. If you complete the MassTransfer block or an associate degree under the MassTransfer policy and have been accepted into a state university or University of Massachusetts campus, you may be able to transfer a "D" grade. If you haven't completed the MassTransfer block or an associate degree, you'll receive credit for each transferable course you completed which usually require a "C-" grade or higher. If you're enrolling in a specific program of study, you may need a higher grade.
Q. I took some post-secondary courses years ago. Will they still transfer?
A. That depends on how many years ago and on the institution and program in which you want to enroll. Many institutions consider that knowledge acquired more than ten years ago may no longer be current and, therefore, may not grant credit. This may be less than ten years for some fields. Check with your intended institution regarding the institution's policy.
Q. What happens if I change my major or program after I transfer?
A. Check the institution's course catalog for the new requirements, or discuss this with your academic advisor. You will still get the transfer credit you are entitled to, but you may not be able to apply it in the same way to your new program. You may need to take more courses than originally planned to meet the requirements of your new program.
Q. I have credits from AP and CLEP exams; can these transfer?
A. Some state universities and University of Massachusetts campuses accept the following types of courses and credit:
Check with the admissions office of the institution(s) you are interested in attending to see if the credits will be accepted. In some cases, you may need to provide extra information, such as course syllabi.
Q. My new institution is offering a different explanation about the courses that will transfer. How do I resolve this?
A. Keep in mind that there may be some additional credit requirements for your major. Your academic advisor or the institution's course catalog should provide this information. If you still believe there is a problem, each institution has an appeals process.
Q: When does the MassTransfer policy start?
A. Beginning in fall 2009, new and current students may accumulate courses toward the completion of an approved associate degree under MassTransfer or the MassTransfer Block. The policy benefits will apply to students who complete either an approved associate degree or the MassTransfer Block beginning in fall 2010, regardless of initial date of enrollment.
Q. I am currently enrolled in a Joint Admissions program, how do the new transfer policies affect me?
A. MassTransfer integrates and replaces the Commonwealth Transfer Compact, Joint Admissions, and the Tuition Advantage Program as of fall 2009. Community college students who matriculated prior to 2009 and who choose to continue in the Commonwealth Transfer Compacy and/or Joint Admissions Program will be required to complete their associate degree by August 2013 and must matriculate at a Massachusetts state university or University of Massachusetts campus by fall 2014.
Students matriculating in fall 2009 as well as currently enrolled students may accumulate courses leading toward the completion of an approved associate degree under MassTransfer or the MassTransfer Block. The policy benefits will apply to students who complete either an approved associate degree or the MassTransfer Block beginning fall 2010, regardless of initial date of enrollment.
Q. I currently receive a tuition waiver under the Tuition Advantage Program. Is this being discontinued?
A. The Tuition Advantage Program is not being discontinued; rather, it is being consolidated into the MassTransfer policy, along with Joint Admissions. Under MassTransfer, students who complete an associate degree and have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher are guaranteed a tuition waiver equal to 1/3 of the Massachusetts resident tuition rate at a state university or University of Massachusetts campus for two years of undergraduate enrollment, provided eligibility requirements are met.
Q. My older son was able to transfer from a community college to a state university under the Commonwealth Transfer Compact. Now my younger son is a community college student and wishes to transfer, but is there no longer a Commonwealth Transfer Compact?
A. The Commonwealth Transfer Compact has been integrated into the MassTransfer policy.

There's one school, like many in the state of Colorado, that follows CHSAA guidelines when it comes to athletic participation. CHSAA is the Colorado High School Activities Association, and high school football coaches will tell you that a player can't have two Fs the week prior to a game or they are ineligible to play.
The competition was a little stiffer and there was more of it. So Front Range Christian's 14th-place finish in the 23-team Eaton Invitational boys golf match on Aug. 19 wasn't quite the same as the Falcons' second-place finish two days earlier at Lone Tree Golf Course. But that's not to say all was a lost cause. Far from it.
Adam Wilson said that it felt like he had the wind knocked out of him, but he could feel a pain in his back. He didn't think much of it at first. It was just something he figured he could walk off.
ENGLEWOOD — It's not often that Drew Vance gets a chance to play Broken Tee Golf Course, but considering the way, as he said, he's been playing this summer shooting a 1-over 73 was about what he expected.
To hear Zach Tripp explain things it was an awesome experience.
It was unbelievable.
Columbine High School returned to its recent past to find its next boys basketball coach.
According to U.S. District Judge Stefan Underhill of Connecticut, cheerleading is not a sport. But there are plenty of cheerleaders, coaches and parents in Colorado who would beg to differ.
Shoulder surgery to repair a dislocated rotator cuff. A broken nose. Plenty of doubters. And, yet, Lindsay Caprio wouldn't have it any other way. The 16-year-old Chatfield junior is a rugby player, no doubt about it.
GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN — Brittney Stark scored a hat trick and the Colorado Rush's U-14 girls soccer program completed a perfect run through the Gothia Cup with a 3-2 championship game victory over Boo IF in the GU 15 age group.

Population: 8,249,574 (est.)
Language(s): Spanish
Capital: Tegucigalpa
Interesting Facts:
- The Honduran lempira is the official currency of Honduras.
- The latest nationanwide survey in Honduras found 47% of respondents identify themselves as Roman Catholics, 36% as evangelical Protestants, and 17% either provide no answer or consider themselves "other".
- When Christopher Columbus discovered Honduras, it is thought his first words were: "Thank God we got out these great depths!" Honduras' literal meaning is: Great Depths.
- The five stars on the Honduran flag represent the five countries of Central America. With the middle star representing Honduras, because it's the only country that touches four of the CA countries.
- More than 50% of the country lives below poverty levels.
- Honduras was formerly known as Spanish Honduras in order to differentiate itself from Belize, which was previously known (see Belize post) as British Honduras.
Honduras is a republic in Central America. It was at times referred to as Spanish Honduras to differentiate it from British Honduras, which became the modern-day state of Belize. The country is bordered to the west by Guatemala, to the southwest by El Salvador, to the southeast by Nicaragua, to the south by the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of Fonseca, and to the north by the Gulf of Honduras, a large inlet of the Caribbean Sea.
Honduras was home to several important indigenous cultures, most notably the Maya. Much of the country was conquered by Spain which introduced its now predominant language and many of its customs in the sixteenth century. It became independent in 1821 and has been a republic since the end of Spanish rule.
The area of Honduras is about 112,492 km² and the population exceeds eight million. Its northern portions are part of the Western Caribbean Zone. Honduras is most notable for production of minerals, coffee, tropical fruit, sugar cane and recently for export of clothing in the international market.

About the Book
—Miami Herald
"Silva builds tension with breathtaking double and triple turns of plot."
Portrait of a Spy is Silva's eleventh thriller to feature art restorer and master spy Gabriel Allon as he races from Great Britain to Washington to New York to the Middle East on the trail of a deadly and elusive terrorist network responsible for massacres in Paris, Copenhagen, and at London's Covent Garden.
It was supposed to be the start of a pleasant weekend in London for master art restorer and spy Gabriel Allonand his wife, Chiara. But a deadly pair of bombings in Paris and Copenhagen has already marred this lovelyautumn day. Then, before he can stop a man he suspectsis about to launch a third attack in Covent Garden,Gabriel is knocked to the pavement—and he can only watch helplessly as the nightmare unfolds.
The haunting memory of his failure to stop the massacre of innocents is still fresh when Gabriel is summoned to Washington—and plunged into a deadly confrontation with the new face of global terror. An elusive American-born cleric in Yemen—once a paid CIA asset whomAllah has granted "a beautiful and seductive tongue"—stands at the center of the explosive plague of death and destruction. And the worst is yet to come . . .

United States Department of Agriculture
Agricultural Research Service
Plant Polymer Research
1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
The long-term objectives of this project are to develop new technologies and knowledge to enable expanded growth of biobased materials, new market opportunities for agricultural products, and reduced environmental impact.
Objective 1: Develop and characterize electroactive materials from natural polymers that enable commercially viable technologies.
Objective 2: Develop and characterize stimulus-responsive starch-based materials that enable the commercially viable technologies.
Objective 3: Develop cutting-edge computational tools for starch and other natural polymers using density functional theory and empirical energy approaches that enable development of new technologies.
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
Develop new biobased materials with novel properties from starch-based commodities. Novel properties include electroactive and stimuli-responsive polymeric materials. Develop molecular modeling tools for use in rational design approaches.
3.Progress Report:
Carbon black, produced using non-renewable starting materials, is often incorporated into a polymer to make the polymer more electroactive. There is a need to develop technologies using renewable materials. ARS, Plant Polymer Research scientists at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research in Peoria, IL, determined structure-function properties of agricultural polymers. Specifically, we studied biobased polymers as electroactive composites but the far-ranging applications could be biosensors, environmentally sensitive membranes, artificial muscles, actuators, electronic shielding, visual displays, solar materials, and components in high-energy batteries. Starch was combined with lignite (a fossilized lignocellulose from coal mines) and biochar (carbon residue from syngas production) to form electroactive composites and evaluated for surface activity and bulk conductivity. Composites were extruded using a single-screw extruder using a manual feeder. Film thicknesses ranged from 0.1-1.0 mm. Mechanical properties were measured and showed physical reinforcement of the polymer matrix. The conductivity of composites showed a 100-fold increase over the polymer matrix. Lignite, while containing substantial amounts of carbon, did not perform as well as biochar. In addition, studies with a university partner characterized exopolysaccharides using light scattering and allowed the correlation of structural components to functional properties of anticorrosive biobased materials.
By reducing the damage of fungal rot on developing corn kernels, the overall yield of corn per acre can be increased. ARS, Plant Polymer Research scientists at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research in Peoria, IL, used computer modeling to determine the structure of large peptides (24 amino acids). This calculated data can then be used to compare with experimentally determined structures. Two techniques, were used with limited success. The molecule studied was corn chitinase peptide (ChitA) in collaboration with (Renewable Product Technology, NCAUR). ChitA is present in developing kernels of corn and is attacked by fungal rot. Determining the structure of ChitA is important to plant breeders to produce maize hybrids resistant to fungal diseases.
The ability to release compounds of interest, whether these be pharmaceuticals, flavorants, pesticides or other chemicals, at the desired rate can be very beneficial. Computer modeling studies on corn starch with different structures have been performed on up to 8 sugar residues. The structure of starch formation is essential to forming products where controlled-release or protection of biologically active compounds is desirable.
Electroactive (polymers that respond to electricity) biobased polymer composites. ARS, Plant Polymer Research scientists at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research in Peoria, IL, made green polymer composites using biobased carbon materials. Carbon materials were provided by local syngas producers (biochar) or from regional coal mines (lignite). Biochar or lignite from agricultural and mining waste streams were combined with biobased polymers (corn starch, polylactic acid) to form green composites which resulted in reinforced thin films and also increased the conductivity to functional levels. Electroactive composites could be used as environmentally sensitive membranes for active food packaging or controlled release of biologically active compounds in field applications. This technology also contributes to the sustainability of local energy production using renewable resources.

Meyer, K, Yang, P, Gao, BC (2007). "Tropical ice cloud optical depth, ice water path, and frequency fields inferred from the MODIS level-3 data". ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH, 85(2), 171-182.
AbstractThe 1.375-mu m water vapor absorption band included on the space-bome Moderate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) provides an unprecedented view of ice clouds (e.g., cirrus) on a global scale. In this study the spatial and temporal patterns of ice clouds over the tropics (i.e., the region between +/- 30 degrees latitude) are analyzed. Three successive years (July 2002-August 2005) of data acquired from the MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite are used in the analyses. Specifically, the frequency of occurrence of ice clouds and its zonal trends are investigated. We compare the ice cloud frequency results from this study with those obtained from the High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounders (HIRS). In addition to the HIRS-type frequency of occurrence of ice clouds, we also investigate the average cloud optical depth and ice water path of these clouds, as well as the zonal trends of these parameters. The present analyses reveal that ice clouds are observed quite frequently in the tropics (approximately 67% of MODIS level-3 data points), and have a higher frequency of occurrence over land, 43%, than over the oceans, 32%. Ice cloud optical depth and ice water path have distributions highly skewed toward small values, indicating a large number of thin cirrus observations. Approximately 70% of the tropics has mean ice cloud optical depth below 2.0, and 80% has mean ice water path less than 40 g m(-2). Moreover, spatial patterns, as well as seasonal cloud migrations, can be clearly seen. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Alfredsson, Red Wings set to visit Senators
Thursday, 02.27.2014 / 10:15 AM ET
(Photo by Andre Ringuette/Getty Images)
Johan Franzen returned from a concussion and earned assists on both goals in his first game since Jan. 26.
Franzen and linemates Pavel Datsyuk and Todd Bertuzzi will have to carry much of the offensive load for Detroit with captain Henrik Zetterberg likely out for the rest of the season following back surgery. Bertuzzi's first-period goal was his first since Dec. 10; he had been a healthy scratch for the prior eight games.
"It's well documented that Mule hasn't played in a long time, Pav has been injured, and then Bert hasn't played in a while," coach Mike Babcock said after the game. "So that line right there, as good as players as they are, hasn't got a lot of tempo in their game as of yet, but they'll get it."
Tonight, Detroit will look to keep rolling when they visit the Senators.
Welcome to the Detroit Red Wings Game Day Blog, where you can get behind-the-scenes information, thoughts from players and staff, and up-to-date news on anything and everything Red Wings on game day.
You can watch tonight's 7:30 PM matchup on Fox Sports Detroit, or listen in with Ken Kal and Paul Woods on 97.1 The Ticket.

By Vince Little, USACEMay 9, 2014
WIESBADEN, Germany - A group of Wiesbaden Middle School students got a glimpse of engineer life recently while engaging in some hands-on demonstrations during "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" at the Amelia Earhart Center.
The annual event, which took place April 24, is part of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District's education and community outreach program, set up to strengthen community ties; share instructional opportunities related to science, technology, engineering and math; and promote environmental awareness. Fifty children participated in the visit, including roughly 20 with a parent employed by the district.
The agency's Contracting Division was in charge of staging this year's activities.
"As an engineering command, it is our responsibility to foster STEM awareness within the [Department of Defense Dependents Schools] community," said Christine Dye, a contracting officer and Europe District Leadership Development Program Class of 2014 member who served as chief organizer.
"By the sheer nature of our mission and the composition of our workforce, we can easily demonstrate the real-life application of the disciplines of STEM. By bringing to life topics that may not interest students from a purely academic standpoint, we hope to increase STEM exposure and possibly plant a seed of interest in a STEM-related career."
The morning began with a welcome from Lt. Col. Andy Hemphill, the district's deputy commander, who told the students about his experience as an Army engineer and how a passion for math and science growing up drove him into the profession.
The group then headed outdoors for a K-9 exhibition by a local Pond Security detail. The security dogs showcased their ability to detect explosives and narcotics, assist in law enforcement and protect handlers.
Back inside the Amelia Earhart Theater, a pair of guest speakers gave interactive presentations on Europe District's construction and engineering operations.
Katie Archer, a civil engineer with the district's Consolidated Intelligence Center Project Office at Clay Kaserne, spoke about all the different countries she's worked in -- more than 30 overall and almost a dozen for the Army Corps of Engineers.
She had two volunteers help test the other children's knowledge of personal protective equipment and highlight proper use of safety gear worn on construction sites. Archer also showed videos of the infamous 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge disaster in Washington and a building collapse in the Philippines to illustrate the importance of quality design measures.
Later, structural engineer Lawrence Carabajal led several students in building, loading and evaluating a wooden "Leonardo Bridge." After linking all the planks, he asked the kids to add packs of office paper -- two at a time -- to increase the weight on it and gauge the structure's applied-load capacity.
The lesson is designed to emphasize the concepts of compression and tension as they relate to force in bridge design and construction, the engineer said.
"Structural engineers are the power lifters of the engineering world because we hold things up," he added.
When the call for assistants went out, students were eager to come down on stage and get involved in the demonstrations.
Ariel Lorts, 12, a Wiesbaden seventh-grader, was among many with their hands in the air but never got picked out of the crowd.
"I was jumping up and down -- it didn't help that I was in the back," she joked afterward.
Ariel says she likes science, excels at math and might consider engineering in college as she gets older. The "Leonardo Bridge" exercise was her favorite part of the day.
"It was cool seeing how each bridge has to have its own different type of support and how you have to configure the tension and the compression. That way, everything equals out," she said. "You can't just build a bridge and have one beam and a few ropes. You actually have to balance everything out.
"I want to be able to build and design stuff, all in the same area, so I'm not just building or just designing [but] can actually do both. I like drawing out figures and then trying to test them."
Sixth-grader Catherine McKean said she's thought about becoming an architect someday, if not a doctor. The visit only raised her interest in engineering.
"I thought [the presentations] were really interesting," the 12-year-old added. "I learned about the security they have and how it's a very important thing to have if you're going to go into construction or engineering, because you need to plan exactly what you're doing with the design; otherwise, it'll end up badly."
Seeing the security dogs in action was a big hit with most students, including Lala Grounds, 14, an eighth-grader at WMS.
"It's amazing to me how they can sniff out all the drugs and bombs," she said.
Lala said engineering appeals to her as a possible academic and vocational pursuit. She enjoyed hearing about the opportunities available within USACE and all the places where Europe District has a footprint.
"I was interested in helping other countries get safer buildings," she said of why she chose to spend the day with engineers, adding that Jordan and Israel are nations that fascinate her the most. "I like anything that can help people in different countries. … I learned today how they build safer bridges and more stable buildings.
"I know you have to be really smart in math [to be an engineer]. It looks pretty cool as a job because you can design stuff and then build it."
Dye said coordinating an event of this magnitude provided a challenge but felt the experience boosted her own leadership skills as she wraps up the LDP curriculum's final phases. In the end, however, it was all about arranging a quality program for the students of Wiesbaden Middle School, a longtime partner of Europe District.
"I think everything went well," she said. "It was very gratifying to see the children enjoying themselves and actively participating during the presentations. I was overwhelmed by their enthusiasm, especially during the 'Leonardo Bridge' activity, and very impressed with the depth and complexity of their questions."
"Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day," formerly called "Take Your Child to Work Day," has had different designations over the years. Founded more than two decades ago in New York by the Ms. Foundation for Women, the program was expanded to include boys in 2003. It's held on the fourth Thursday in April every year.

Browser Address Book as Firefox Addon
Users commonly on the Internet often maintain many online contacts. Mozilla now wants to help manage these contacts with a special Firefox addon.
The new Contacts addon creates an address book in Firefox that provides access to local and remote friends and buddies. The special aspect of the addon is that it's controlled by the browser and the browser determines which application or website can access the contact. The Firefox extension also provides autocompletion of contact email addresses in forms, for example.
According to Mozilla Lab's announcement in their blog, the Contacts addon is still in an experimental stage and currently supports contact synchronization with GMail, Twitter and the Mac OS X address book only. However, a generic importer tool already allows bringing in contacts from desktop or Web-based sources.

I wonder if the police are granting him any protection. Probably not. I wonder how Ann Barhardt is doing.
SANTA ANA (CBS) — A Florida pastor blamed for inciting unrest in Afghanistan by burning a Koran was in town on Wednesday to appear on Truth TV, an Arabic language Christian network.
Rev. Terry Jones told reporters he had no plans to burn any more Korans upon his arrival at LAX on Tuesday night, but that he may hold another mock trial for the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
"We've had about 400 death threats," he said, adding that Hezbolla, the Shia Muslim militant group, had put out a "reward out on my head for $2.4 million."
Santa Ana police say they were warned that Jones was in town...

Player take turns playing the "sushi chef" by rolling the four sushi dice. The remaining players then quickly try to match four of their cards to what the sushi chef has rolled. The first to do this says "Order up!" and places their cards on the table.
There are also four special cards that are strategically played at various times throughout the game to better your chances of winning. Whoever collects the most cards when the stack of sushi cards is gone is the winner -- but beware of the dreaded "stinky sushi" card!

The Kite Runner
by Khaled Hosseini
Analysis: What's Up With the Ending?
OK, so without the force of the preceding paragraphs and chapters, the ending to The Kite Runner is going to sound like one big non-event. This is pretty much what happens: Amir and Sohrab are at a park. Amir gets Sohrab to fly a kite with him, they're getting into it, and Amir vividly remembers Hassan, Ali, and the sounds and smells of Kabul. Sohrab smiles. Also, when Amir asks if Sohrab wants him to chase after the defeated kite, he thinks he sees Sohrab nod. The book ends with a middle-age man sprinting after a kite. This all sounds pretty silly.
However, with earlier events of the novel in mind, it's not so silly. (On a personal note, we also want to justify the tear-fest that happened when Shmoop finished the book.) There's even an outside chance that book-jacket words like redemption and atonement apply here. With traumatic events, what precedes the terrible event often becomes a psychological trigger. This is the case with kite fighting for Amir. Right before he betrays Hassan, Amir participates in a kite-fighting tournament. And so when Amir fights a kite in the park with Sohrab, we half-expect Amir to break down in tears. He doesn't. We think this means Amir goes some way in reclaiming (dare we say "rewriting") his past. As he flies the kite, memories of Kabul come flooding back in a beautiful and moving passage. For most of the book, memory has literally been a nauseating affair, but now it brings joy to Amir.
Still, we're not sure if Amir has really redeemed himself. Sohrab's smile and nod at least suggest redemption is possible. Said another way: Sohrab's gestures suggest it's possible that Amir, by taking in Sohrab, has atoned or made amends for both his betrayal of Hassan and his father's betrayal of Ali. Sohrab has become a sort of stand-in for Hassan (he even looks like Hassan). So, Amir's goodwill toward the boy is a way for Amir to finally do the right thing. Add to this the fact that Sohrab has been utterly silent for a year, that Amir and Baba never talked about their betrayals, and the smallest form of communication suddenly seems really, really important. Sohrab's smile hints at confession and peace after years and years of silence and guilt. That said, Sohrab's gestures are so small and so slight we wonder if Amir really has redeemed himself.

About the Book
"Expect miracles when you read Ann Patchett's fiction."—New York Times Book Review
Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Ann Patchett returns with a provocative and assured novel of morality and miracles, science and sacrifice set in the Amazon rainforest. Infusing the narrative with the same ingenuity and emotional urgency that pervaded her acclaimed previous novels Bel Canto, Taft, Run, The Magician's Assistant, and The Patron Saint of Liars, Patchett delivers an enthrallingly innovative tale of aspiration, exploration, and attachment in State of Wonder—a gripping adventure story and a profound look at the difficult choices we make in the name of discovery and love.
Dr. Marina Singh, a research scientist with a Minnesota pharmaceutical company, is sent to the Amazon to find her former mentor, Dr. Annick Swenson, who seems to have disappeared while working on a new drug. No one knows where Dr. Swenson is, and the last person sent to find her died before completing his mission. Plagued by trepidation, Marina embarks on an odyssey in hopes of finding answers.
Now in her seventies, the uncompromising Dr. Swenson dominates her research team and the natives with the force of an imperial ruler. But while she is as threatening as anything the jungle has to offer, the greatest sacrifices are those Dr. Swenson asks of herself, and will ultimately ask of Marina, who finds she is still unable to live up to her teacher's expectations.
Replete with poison arrows, devouring snakes, and cannibals, State of Wonder is a tale that leads you into the very heart of darkness, and then shows what lies on the other side.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"An engaging, consummately told tale." — New York Times
"Emotionally lucid. . . . Patchett is at her lyrical best when she catalogues the jungle." — The New Yorker
"This is surely the smartest, most exciting novel of the summer." — Washington Post
"The Amazon setting is something Patchett does rather marvelously.… The book is serious, but also so pleasurable that you hope it won't end." — NPR
"Outlandishly entertaining…[with] a brilliantly constructed plot." — Elle
"Packs a textbook's worth of ethical conundrums into a smart and tidily delivered story. . . . Ms. Patchett presents an alluring interplay between civilization and wilderness, between aid and exploitation." — Wall Street Journal
"The large canvas of sweeping moral issues, both personal and global, comes to life through careful attention to details, however seemingly mundane—from ill-fitting shoes and mosquito bites to a woman tenderly braiding another woman's hair." — O, the Oprah Magazine
"A spellbinder from bestselling author Patchett. . . . Thrilling, disturbing and moving in equal measures—even better than Patchett's breakthrough Bel Canto." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"A superbly rendered novel. . . . Patchett's portrayal is as wonderful as it is frightening and foreign. Patchett exhibits an extraordinary ability to bring the horrors and the wonders of the Amazon jungle to life, and her singular characters are wonderfully drawn. . . . Powerful and captivating." — Library Journal (starred review)
"A thrilling new novel. . . . The world imagined in this novel is unusually vivid. . . . Reading State of Wonder is a sensory experience, and even after it's over you'll keep hearing the sounds of insects, and your own head will still be hot." — MORE Magazine
"Patchett makes the jungle jump off the page…This is Patchett's best effort since The Patron Saint of Liars and, yes, that includes Bel Canto" — Shelf Awareness
"Extraordinary. . . . Is there nothing the prodigiously talented Ann Patchett can't do? . . . Patchett's last knockout pages proceed full-speed ahead, with more twists and turns and trachery than the Amazon River. Nothing is as it seems, and the ending is as shocking as it's satisfying." — Boston Globe

Real ID Act for Voters Needed
Published: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 31, 2013 at 8:59 p.m.
In 2005, Congress passed an appropriations bill that included HR 418, known as the Real ID Act.
Anyone who has obtained, renewed or changed a driver license in Florida recently has had to prove citizenship and residency.
When the law is fully implemented, the residents of noncomplying states will be denied federal recognition. Anywhere identification is required, airports, post offices, federal buildings, etc., will be off limits.
I have to question our priorities when it is more difficult to obtain a driver license than it is to acquire a voter-ID card.
There should be no debate that electing our leaders is more important than driving yet, in many states, a voter-ID card can be obtained by signing a pledge.
It is my belief that all legal American citizens should have the right to vote. There is little comfort in protecting the rights of drivers and not integrity of the republic.

"Compact but well laid out apartments. good location."
22nd September 2013, savvy-travels10, brisbane
Adagio was a good option to a hotel stay particularly when you are staying for a longer period of time. Initially I was dismayed at the compact (tiny) apartment where you had to walk like an Egyptian to get past the bed, however it was well laid out and had loads of storage space for your clothes, and shelves in the bathroom. However as previous reviews state, there is no actual dining table, but one that you slide out from under the desk. There is nowhere to prepare your meals except on the sink and that becomes difficult when you have the kettle set up as well.I did find the extra cleaning option a little stingy. If you stay 1-3 nights then the maid service is included. If you stay over 4 nights you can pay €10 for a mini service of clean towels etc. They only provide you with one towel each and no additional garbage bags seeing as you take care of your own rubbish. A few spare towels would make more sense.WIFI is free in the lobby only, or cabled in your room if you have a laptop. As our room was on the ground floor close to the lobby, I was able to pick up the wifi from our room.Beware the garage. It will require several stops starts and reversing to get you into that very tight space. Good value for €10 a night and in a quiet street.Excellent supermarket right around the corner for all your needs and has a huge wine section with fantastic French wines so cheap.Walking distance to all the Main areas. Even with a map you will probably get lost. Try Moules en frites (mussels with fries) for around €12 for a big pot.We had a good time exploring Provence and if you want to keep off the narrow country roads, then the toll roads are a great and quicker option. Beware that some of the toll booths do not take cash but only European credit cards. None of our Australian issued visa or MasterCard worked. Luckily there is a help button and an attendant will come to you and then accept your cash. A trip from Aux to Nice will cost you €17 in each direction.
"Very Good"
9th September 2013, DingUK, Manchester, United Kingdom
A good location - only 15 minutes stroll into the old town with a choice of routes. Nice and quite and very roomy. I didn't try the breakfast as you need to know the night before that you want it - and there are some great alternatives within a few minutes walk anyway.
"South of France"
14th July 2013, Rail_travellers, Adelaide, Australia
I would recommend the Adagio in Aix-en-Provence to anyone visiting the south of France, as it is a great base to enjoy the surrounding towns, and the staff are extremely helpfully and friendly. The are plenty of amenities close by, and the town is easily accessible by train.
"Great self catering studio."
29th June 2013, zoltan56, newcastle on tyne
Situated in central Aix this modern block was perfect for a small family stopover. The garage was as is usual in French hotels a test of manoeuvring skills, but was secure and convenient.The apartment was spacious with fabulous natural light and very good cooking facilities and a dishwasher. Shops were strolling distance, a great bakery open at 7.30am close by for breakfast. Free wifi for the first 24 hours was in the lobby and worked just fine. Aix is very nice but not dazzling and the meals we cooked with the local produce, and drinking the local rose drenched in the beautiful evening sunshine were the high points of our trip
"Home Away From Home"
5th February 2012, Brisbane, Australia
Had a very relaxing week in Aix-en-Provence with the knowledge that we could get up when we wanted, buy food at the markets and prepare it ourselves and ask the friendly staff at any time if we needed something seen to or changed. The only things we'd like to see included in the room was salt and pepper grinders and a corkscrew (we are in France after all). Otherwise everything was wonderful
"Outstanding value for money"
11th August 2011, Haifa
Hotel is brand new, we stayed in a great 1-bedroom appartment, 5 minutes by foot to Cours Mirabeau, 2 minutes by foot to big Casino supermarket, indoor parking is good unless you have a large car/van, breakfast is good but slightly limited (no eggs, no low fat products).
"Getting into the room"
28th July 2011, London
Annoyingly, the one disadvantage to this hotel was that we were unable to get into our room until 15.30 (the brochure says 14.00). My husband has cancer and needs a long afternoon sleep, instead of which he had to sit in reception for an hour and a half waiting for the room to finish being cleaned. Plus, there was no coffee at breakfast the following morning, only decaf granules - the coffee machine had broken down. We need our coffee!

Ionization of Water in Foods
From ChemPRIME
back to Ionization of Water
Ionization of water
|Grotthuss mechanism
Water is an amphiprotic molecule, it can act as a very weak acid and a very weak base, donating protons to itself to a limited extent:
Individual molecules do not remain ionized for a long time, the reaction is rapid towards both sides of the equilibrium. The animation above shows the Grotthuss mechanism in which the protons tunnel from one water molecule to the next via hydrogen bonding. Auto-ionization of water occurs in a similar way with separation of ions H+ and OH–, which recombine in a matter of femtoseconds. The lifetime of the separated ions is about 70 microseconds and depends on the extent of hydrogen bonding, so it is shorter at lower temperatures.[1]
Applying the equilibrium law to the reaction above, we obtain
However, the concentration of water has a constant value of 55.5 mol dm–3 (the law of chemical equilibrium), and so its square can be multiplied by Kc to give a new constant Kw, called the ion-product constant of water:
Measurements of the electrical conductivity of carefully purified water indicate that at 25°C [H3O+] = [OH–] = 1.00 × 10–7 mol dm–3, so that
(Since the equilibrium law is not obeyed exactly, even in dilute solutions, results of most equilibrium calculations are rounded to three significant figures. Hence the value of Kw = 1.00 × 10–14 mol2 dm–6 is sufficiently accurate for all such calculations.)
Kw depends on the strength of hydrogen bonding. Therefore, it is affected by the same factors that influence hydrogen bonding: Temperature, pressure, solute concentration and ionic strength. Kw doubles at about 100 MPa.[1] At –35 oC, in undercooled water, Kw is approximately 1 x 10–17. At high temperatures and pressures, although the Kw presents a more complex behavior, water becomes increasingly more ionized. At higher temperatures (~room temperature), one water molecule in 5.5 x 108 is ionized, compared to one in 840 molecules at 1000 oC and 10 MPa.[2] The following table shows the values of Kw and neutral pH in function of temperature. Taken from Harned and Owen, 1958.[3] the figure that follows shows the dependence of pKw on a wider range of temperature.
Temperature dependence of Kw
|Temperature oC
|pH of a neutral solution
|0.12 x 10–14
|0.45 x 10–14
|0.68 x 10–14
|1.01 x 10–14
|1.47 x 10–14
|2.95 x 10–14
Ionic strength affects ionization of water, Kw reaches a maximum of 2 x 10–14 mol2 l–2 at about 0.25 M ionic strength (trimethylammonium chloride) and decreases to 1 x 10–14 mol2 l–2 when the ionic strength is raised to 5 M.[1] Kw tends to increase in the presence of organic compounds.[2]
Even though the degree of ionization is small (2.8 x 10–9 at 37oC), the dissociation of water has important implications in all biological systems including foods. Besides acting as lubricant, cleaning fluid, transporting media (nutrients and waste products) in living systems. The auto-ionization ability of water makes it a highly effective medium for proton exchange and participate essentially in four types of reactions: oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, and condensation.[2] The following sections in this chapter will show the importance of ionization of water as the major component and solvent in food systems.
The equilibrium constant Kw applies not only to pure water but to any aqueous solution at 25°C. Thus, for example, if we add 1.00 mol of the strong acid HNO3, used in methods to determine ash content in foods, to H2O to make a total volume of 1 dm3, essentially all the HNO3 molecules donate their protons to H2O:
and a solution in which [H3O+] = 1.00 mol dm–3 is obtained. Although this solution is very acidic, there are still hydroxide ions present. We can calculate their concentration by rearranging Eq. (1):
The addition of the HNO3 to H2O not only increases the hydronium-ion concentration but also reduces the hydroxide-ion concentration from an initially minute 10–7 mol dm–3 to an even more minute 10–14 mol dm–3.
EXAMPLE Calculate the hydronium-ion concentration in a solution of 0.516 M Mg(OH)2.
Solution Since 1 mol Mg(OH)2 produces 2 mol OH– in solution, we have
[OH–] = 2 × 0.516 mol dm–3 = 1.032 mol dm–3

VISION 2020 founding institutions, Drexel University College of Medicine and Drexel University, have long histories of opening doors for women and minorities. Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, established in 1850 as the world's first medical school for women, and Hahnemann Medical College, established in 1848, merged in 1993 as MCP/Hahnemann and became Drexel University College of Medicine in 2002. It was the first medical school in the country to fully integrate women's health into its curriculum. The Institute for Women's Health and Leadership was a designated a National Center of Excellence in Women's Health by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in 1996. A core program of the Institute is the Hedwig van Ameringen Executive Leadership for Academic Medicine, the premiere leadership program for women in academic medicine.
Drexel University College of Medicine has more than 700 clinical and basic-science faculty members, over 1,700 affiliate and volunteer faculty members, and, with 1,000 medical students, a larger medical student body than any other private American medical school. Among the College's asset is its national recognition for excellence in women's health and leadership; the largest HIV/AIDS primary-care practice on the East Coast and one of the top-five in the country; one of the biggest centers for spinal cord research in the Mid-Atlantic Region; and a center for malaria study that is a national leader. For more information, please visit www.drexelmed.edu.
One of only 21 programs nationwide and one of the original six to be designated a National Center of Excellence in Women's Health by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Drexel University College of Medicine's Institute for Women's Health and Leadership helps carry out the College's commitment to women's health and women's leadership in medicine. Its core initiatives include the Center for Executive Leadership in Academics, with its acclaimed Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM) Program for Women; the Legacy Center, which preserves and protects the largest collection of archival material on the history of women in medicine, much of which comes from one of the College's predecessor institutions, and the Woman One Award and Scholarship Fund, which supports medical school tuition for minority women at Drexel.

Soft shell, wind tops and a bargain soft-shell top at a 'pick-up price'.
Neil Macadie - Rab Marketing Supremo
Slightly re-jigged for spring 2011 with new cycling legs in production, long-suffering marketing supremo, Neil, dreads our arrival at Rab's showrooms, knowing our innate ability to take appalling photographs of even the suavest of models.
Despite this, year after year, Neil patiently fields our inane questions, poses for our photos, and provides slap-up lunches, tea and coffee on demand as well bulk-buy bargain pastrami. Available only in a male option, Neil's design is unique to Rab and a closely-guarded secret.
We'd like to thank Neil for putting up with us and displaying endless patience. One of our better shots, erm, maybe.

Checking RABs website, you won't Think that must be a rogue picture of the alpine jacket, which is still a windshirt style thing but a bit heavier and rather more featured. The hood cords are a bit of a give away I think.
(I think the previous picture should have been repeated instead?)
Oh, if anyone has a cirrus pull on and is after the wind top then be slightly careful about the cut - its seemingly somewhat different (substantially shorter arms on me when tried in Cotswolds.). Logical I guess because one is for walkers and the other runners etc.
Oh a couple of questions:
Do they have any comparative/ball park figures on roughly how windproof the boreas fabric is? We were wondering on another thread.
Oh and why is the nimbus so much heavier than the Montanes lite speed? It looks to have the same fabric(? a heavier version?) and a very similar feature set but rather heavier. Thats been confusing me for a bit.

Would you like to feel comfortable while you're receiving dental attention you need from a professional you can trust? Many patients at Peery Family Dentistry have been coming to our practice for their entire lives because they know that we have created an environment where they can relax. Peery Family Dentistry has been caring for patients in the Lynchburg, Virginia area since 1980, and we'd enjoy the opportunity to tend to your needs as well!
Dr. James M. Peery, Jr. started his practice to help adults improve their overall oral health during general dentistry examinations, and now people he once treated as children are bringing in their own sons and daughters! Dr. Peery has even brought on his son, Dr. James M. Peery III, as a full partner. As you can see, we're very family-oriented, so you can relax knowing that your child will be in good hands during a children's dentistry exam.
We also offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry services. Some of our patients like to go the extra mile to achieve a beautiful, esthetically pleasing appearance. We recommend teeth whitening treatments to those who want to remove stains from their enamel for a whiter, brilliant smile. If you've chipped or cracked a tooth, our dentists can place a porcelain veneer over the area to conceal the damage. Dr. James Peery, Jr. and Dr. James Peery III take pleasure in boosting the self-image of Lynchburg inhabitants with successful cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Over time, teeth and gums can become affected by time, decay, and even accidents that can damage your smile! Peery Family Dentistry sees many restorative dentistry patients who are looking for a solution to return their bite to normal. Dr. Peery Jr. and Dr. Peery III can assist them in multiple ways. For those who have lost a majority of their teeth or who need to have a significant amount extracted, we can fit them with full dentures or partials. Occasionally, visitors to our office are interested in a more permanent method for replacing teeth. In these instances, our dentists can work together to place and restore a dental implant that will create a sturdier bite. Please contact Peery Family Dentistry to begin planning your restorative treatment at our Lynchburg, VA location.
Does the idea of visiting a dentist's office make you a little nervous? Being afraid of dental work is quite a common fear, even among adults! Dr. Peery has recognized that this anxiety can become problematic if it results in cancelled or skipped appointments. To ease the worries of our patients, we can provide sedation dentistry in the form of nitrous oxide and oral medications. This creates a somewhat euphoric feeling and can relax you while you receive the dental care you need! Ask our staff about sedation dentistry when you're scheduling your appointment.
Please call us today to schedule our appointment at Peery Family Dentistry. We're located in Lynchburg, Virginia, but we also see patients from the surrounding areas. If you're new to our practice, we ask that you please visit our new patients page. Dr. James M. Peery, Jr. and Dr. James M. Peery III can't wait to welcome you to our dental family.

CHICAGO — The 105th pitch of Mark Buehrle's day broke in toward Gabe Kapler, who turned on it and connected. Buehrle looked up and knew — his perfect game was in jeopardy.
Just in as a defensive replacement, Chicago White Sox center fielder Dewayne Wise sprinted toward the fence in left-center, a dozen strides. What happened next would be either a moment of baseball magic or the ninth-inning end of Buehrle's bid for perfection against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Wise jumped and extended his right arm above the 8-foot wall. The ball landed in his glove's webbing but then popped out for a split second as he was caroming off the wall and stumbling on the warning track. Wise grabbed it with his bare left hand, fell to the ground and rolled. He bounced up, proudly displaying the ball for the crowd.
Magic. A home run turned into an out.
His biggest threat behind him, Buehrle coolly closed out the 18th perfect game in major league history, a 5-0 victory Thursday.
"I was hoping it was staying in there, give him enough room to catch it. I know the guys were doing everything they could to save the no-hitter, the perfect game, whatever it might be," said Buehrle, who has thrown two no-hitters in his career.
Wise knew the stakes.
"I was with the Braves in '04 and I was there when Randy Johnson of the Diamondbacks pitched a perfect game. So I've been on both sides of it," he said.
"It was kind of crazy, man, because when I jumped, the ball hit my glove at the same time I was hitting the wall. So I didn't realize I had caught it until I fell down and the ball was coming out of my glove, so I reached out and grabbed it."
White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen was happy he made the switch to Wise, who came in at center while Scott Podsednik shifted to left and Carlos Quentin was pulled out.
"I guess that's our job," Guillen said.
Buehrle fell behind 3-1 in the count to Michel Hernandez, the second batter in the ninth, who took a called strike and then swung and missed at strike three.
With fans chanting Buehrle's name, Jason Bartlett got ahead 2-1, then grounded to shortstop Alexei Ramirez, who threw to first baseman Josh Fields. Buehrle put both hands on his head and was mobbed by teammates between the mound and first base.
"Never thought I'd throw a no-hitter, never thought I'd throw a perfect game, never thought I'd hit a home run," said Buehrle, who has done all three. "Never say never in this game because crazy stuff can happen."
The pitcher received a congratulatory telephone call from President Barack Obama — a White Sox fan — after the 16th perfect game since the modern era began in 1900 and the first since Johnson's on May 18, 2004.
Backed by Fields' second-inning grand slam, Buehrle (11-3) threw 76 of 116 pitches for strikes and struck out six. He went to three-ball counts on five batters, including 3-0 to Bartlett in the sixth. Bartlett took the next two pitches for strikes, fouled one off and then hit a routine grounder to Ramirez.
Kapler understood his role.
"That moment was magical for both Wise and Buehrle," Kapler said, "and most guys earn those moments."
In a 6-0 win over Texas on April 18, 2007, Buehrle also faced the minimum 27 batters. He walked Sammy Sosa in the fifth inning of that game, then picked him off two pitches later.
"I bought everyone watches after the last one. That was an expensive no-hitter," Buehrle said. "This one will probably be more expensive."
