DAYTON, Ohio—Morehead State's halftime adjustments just about overcame 24-point halftime deficit, but Dayton was able to hold on and defeat Morehead State 34-28 Saturday afternoon in a Pioneer Football League game at Welcome Stadium.
MSU outscored Dayton 28-10 in the second half and needed just one more touchdown to complete the rally, but the Eagles ran out of time.
"We got back in it, had our shot, had our chances," MSU coach Matt Ballard said. "If we execute just a bit better, specifically there in the fourth quarter, we probably pull this thing out."
The Eagles had 41 total yards of offense at the end of the first half, but added 310 yards in the second half to finish with 351. Quarterback Zach Lewis, who had just 35 yards passing in the first half, surged to finish with 349 yards on 20-31 passing with one interception. All four of Lewis' touchdown passes were 35 yards or longer. Andre Williams totaled 101 yards and two touchdowns on two receptions.
"We settled in, relaxed and started playing football," Ballard said. We really didn't make any major changes. We had so many mental mistakes and busts in the first half it was ridiculous. We didn't do anything right.
"Second half I don't know if pressure was off, but we just went out there and played football. You just cannot spot a Dayton. You cannot turn ball over, you can't make mental mistakes or you'll get your tail whipped."
Dayton struck on its first drive, spurred by a fourth down, 24-yard scramble by Valentino that took the ball to the one yard line. Valentino punched it in the end zone on the next play on a qb keeper. A Nick Glavine field goal made it 10-0 just after the start of the second quarter
A fumble by Zach Lewis on the MSU 11 gave Dayton a short field, which the Flyers converted into six points on a one-yard rush by Brian Mack for a 17-0 lead. UD extended the lead right before halftime on a seven-yard, 2:25 drive that Dan Jacob finished off with a 12-yard scoring run.
MSU moved the ball well to open the second quarter, but Matt Pfleger stepped under a Lewis pass into the end zone, intended for Donte Sawyer and ended the drive with an interception.
After stopping the Flyers on the next drive Morehead State cut into the Dayton lead on a 66-yard pass from Lewis to Williams. Williams came back on the ball to make the catch, spun out of a tackle at the 30 yard-line and raced in for the end zone.
Lewis and Williams hooked up again early in the fourth quarter on a 35-yard passing play. Lewis found a wide open Williams on the 10-yard line and Williams scampered into for the Eagles' second passing score.
Dayton tried to kill the MSU rally with a 50-yard pass from Valentino to Luke Bellman, who came open after Kameron Scott got tripped up in coverage. The Eagles kept the rally alive by immediately responding when Lewis dumped a short screen pass to Desmond Cox on the following drive, which Cox turned into a 69-yard touchdown run, slipping into the secondary and then outrunning the Flyer defense.
Another Morehead State touchdown brought the Eagles within six points with a little over four minutes to play. Lewis found Sawyer, his favorite target last weekend, open down the sidelines for a 41-yard touchdown pass. That was MSU's final score in the rally attempt.
Dayton took a final drive and ground out the clock to endure for the win.
Tony Bachman finished with 13 tackles to lead the Eagles.
Valentino finished 18-for-37 with 243 yards and one passing touchdown. He also had 20 carries for 81 yards.
Morehead State travels to PFL foe Marist next week. It will be the Eagles' first-ever trip to Poughkeepsie, N.Y.

Waterford 1-12 Tipperary 2-13
Updated: Sunday, 08 Feb 2009 18:41
Reigning Allianz NHL champions Tipperary held off a resilient Waterford to open their title defence with a well-earned victory at Walsh Park.
Played in tricky, wet conditions, it was the visitors who started strongest leading by three points to one after 15 minutes.
And it should probably have been a three point lead as Paul Kelly appeared to have scored a point that wasn't awarded, despite one of the umpires appearing to signal that a point had been scored.
Waterford were hit with an early injury blow as Shane Walsh had to be replaced after only 15 minutes of the first half.
Tipperary were up by 1-06 to 0-03 at half-time and it would have been a greater lead had it not been for the brilliance of Deise keeper Clinton Hennessey who was in inspired form.
The only goal of the first half came after 30 minutes with Pat Kerwick striking the ball home for the visitors.
Waterford came into the game in the second half with Dan Shanahan and brother Maurice helping the Deise reduce the gap to four points.
And then keeper Hennessey travelled the length of the pitch to smash a penalty home past Brendan Cummins to give Waterford a chance.
But the Deise revival was short lived as Paul Kelly immediately struck back with a well-taken goal to ensure a victorious start for the reigning champions.
Seamus Prendergast almost grabbed a late goal for the home side in a goalmouth scramble but it was too little too late for Waterford.

Definition of virile in English:
- He deconstructs myths of the tough virile man, laying his anxieties bare on the floor.
- These guys all want to come home, have their necks rubbed, have their slippers handed to them, and be told what big, virile men they are.
- I must be very lucky person because every time I look at my e - mail someone wants to make me a millionaire, help me lose weight or become the world's most virile man.
- Entrapment: 'a subtle and surprisingly virile performance'.
- A wonderfully virile performance of a great work!
- Cummins is a vulnerable, angry, intense, virile and passionate performer, making a 'raging bull' appear human, sad, remorseful and honourable.
Late 15th century (in the sense 'characteristic of a man'): from French viril or Latin virilis, from vir 'man'.
virago from Old English:
The second chapter of the Book of Genesis describes the creation of Eve: 'And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.' In the Latin version of the Bible known as the Vulgate, the word Adam uses for Eve is Virago. This is not the insult it appears to be now. Virago meant 'heroic woman, female warrior' in Latin and derived from vir 'man', the source of virile (Late Middle English) and virtue (Middle English) originally meaning 'manliness. Virago first appeared in English with reference to Eve, but medieval man started using it in the disparaging sense 'a domineering, violent, or bad-tempered woman' that survives today.

hello ladies ! I'm just wondering if anyone has ever second guessed their decision to have the implants put in. In the beginning of it all, I thought I was going to be back to normal after my exchange surgery - that was 09/10. Here it is 1-1/2 yrs later and I'm thinking I may want to remove "the girls". Not to burst the bubble of anyone just starting out, maybe it's just me. I find mine too heavy and uncomfortable. Is it just me or has anyone ever pondered removal as well ?

Mayday, Tanya Chua, Luantan Ascent Win at Golden Melody Awards
TAIPEI – Taiwanese alternative-rock band Mayday made a clean sweep at the 23rd Golden Melody Awards on Saturday night, taking home six of the top honors including best band, best song and best Mandarin album.
The five-member band, which formed in the late 1990s, is hugely popular in its home market of Taiwan, and counts followers in China, South Korea, Japan and even the U.S. Lead singer Ashin said in his acceptance speech that the group planned to release only two more albums after its award-winning eighth album, "Second Round," bringing its total output to 10 – the same number as the band's idol, the Beatles.
The 23rd Golden Melody Awards
Another big winner was Singaporean singer Tanya Chua, named best female artist for the third time. The best male artist title came as more of a surprise, with Taiwan's Luantan Ascent beating contenders such as Mandopop idol Jay Chou and rising talent Yoga Lin.
The four-hour ceremony was punctuated with performances by musicians from across Asia, including K-pop girl band Miss A, and Hong Kong singers Karen Mok and Sandy Lam. But it was three-piece Taiwanese girl group S.H.E. that stole the show with its first performance since 2010, when one of its members, Selina Jen, sustained traumatizing burn injuries on a movie set in China.
The ceremony also paid tribute to pop diva Fong Fei Fei, who died of cancer earlier this year. Despite calls from her fans for a posthumous honor, however, the lifetime achievement award went to 84-year-old crooner Wen Hsia, known for his hits in Taiwan's Hoklo dialect, some of which were translated from Japanese songs.
"I will keep singing for as long as I live and I hope many of the young musicians will carry on the torch of keeping Hoklo songs popular," said Mr. Wen. A number of his songs, including "The Sunset of My Hometown" and "Mending Broken Nets," were banned during the Kuomingtang's White Terror era in the 1950s because of their lyrics, which hinted that life under the ruling party was difficult.

What Can You Do With This: Gimme Friction / Taberinos
April 5th, 2010 by Dan Meyer
Open class with an online game, either Gimme Friction or Taberinos. Play for ten minutes. Have your students write down their highest scores. Create a classroom leaderboard.
What can you do with this now?
I'll try to limit myself to broad strokes here. There are a lot of interesting trees but the forest — the framework for turning an interesting thing into a challenging thing — is what interests me most.
1. Freeze gameplay in time and space.
2. Ask the students to make an intuitive prediction about where the ball will hit the ceiling.
3. Show them the answer.
4. Formalize the math.
You can print out the previous picture and pass it around. Have students measure everything. Measuring things is a useful thing to do when you don't know what to do.
Don't just tell them to measure the angles. "Measure the angles," is too helpful. Who will narrow down the scope of a problem like that for them after they graduate?
Eventually reach the (useful) conclusion that in a frictionless system like this, the incoming angle equals the outgoing angle.
5. Practice
Screengrab a few more scenarios like #1 above and have them determine where the ball will end up. Ideally, you'll have the answer videos queued up so that the question of correctness isn't answered by the authority figure in the room, rather by the world itself.
6. Play the game again.
Are scores higher or lower? Does an appreciation of the math undergirding the game even matter? Does it matter if it matters?
7. Iterate
Gimme Friction beats out Taberinos and the usual miniature golf-style application of this concept because, eventually, you're firing cannon balls
8. More practice.
Good questions here include:
"Is it possible to hit all three targets?"
"What cannon angles are 'safe'?"
9. Extensions
Can you imagine the exceptional grasp of coordinate geometry, trigonometry, and vector math it took to program this game? We haven't even gone into the way the cannon ball slides to a stop and then expands until it reaches a boundary.
So lay a coordinate grid over a screenshot. The only variable here is the angle of the cannon. If a student could develop an algorithm to describe the final position and size of the first shot fired for every angle from -90° to 90°, I'd assign her an A for the first semester of Trigonometry, no hesitation.

I can't help but think of curling when I see this game, although having a fixed initial speed does change the gameplay drastically.
Since the gameplay is physics-based, with collisions (elastic I think) and friction opposing the velocity of the cannon ball, I can imagine this game being useful in a physics class. With regard to safety, the ball basically travels a fixed distance before stopping (if the collisions are elastic). Thus, you would have to search over the different input angles for resulting paths that are long enough without bouncing back to the bottom. It kind of seems like a ray-tracing problem in that sense. It could also fall under the category of "path planning" which is useful for determining the path of mobile robots. Perhaps you could imagine the ball as a roomba that drives around bouncing off things (they actually have a more random algorithm than that).
Nice catch, Dan.
I would have loved a lesson like this in my Geometry class! It also reminds me of countless practice problems in the physics class I took in high school. Thanks for sharing.
I think your questions are some of the most powerful elements of your lessons in that they're provocative and compelling, yet clearly focused on the objective and the topic at hand rather than just being fuzzy or purely exploratory– this is often a difficult balance to strike, particularly in extension questions when it's so tempting to just have students do the worksheet or otherwise practice. If students don't respond right away to something like "is it possible to hit all three targets," to what extent do you scaffold by breaking that down into more manageable chunks? I'd love to hear both your theoretical answer– what you believe, on principle– and your practical answer– what you actually find yourself doing– if they're different!
And your footnote made me laugh out loud.
on 05 Apr 2010 at 9:00 pm3 SciPub » Blog Archive » My new favorite game
[…] dy/dan has a post today about the online games Gimme Friction and Taberinos. So far I have only played Gimme Friction but it is very addictive. There's a lot of good physics and math questions you can ask about these games. Dan outlines a math lesson on his blog. I'll do something with friction, initial velocity and elastic/inelastic collisions soon. […]
grace: If students don't respond right away to something like "is it possible to hit all three targets," to what extent do you scaffold by breaking that down into more manageable chunks? I'd love to hear both your theoretical answer– what you believe, on principle– and your practical answer– what you actually find yourself doing– if they're different!
At this point it's all theoretical, since I haven't taught the lesson, but I'll try to flex my imagination here.
I'm pretty sure my remedial students would say "I dunno." to the "Is it possible to hit all three targets?" question. I would ask the student to play. Pick a point on the first circle. What will happen when you shoot there? How do you want to adjust? Is that better? How do you know? Could you make your shot even better? Okay, now see where it hits the second target. Etc.
I can imagine a lot of great conversations. Most of them, I think, would prioritize "play" over "correctness." They'd also define errors not as failure but as valuable information.
I'd appreciate anything you could add to my thinking here.
I like your hands-on approach to having students figure it out through a very concrete experience. My intuition would have been to break down the questions I was asking and adding the following to some of yours:
"What would the perfect path have to look like if it was going to hit all three targets? Can you draw me a rough sketch of what you'd hope to see? How do you know that your path is reasonable/possible?"
"What would you have to do to make the cannon ball follow that path? Where would it have to start?
"Did what you do work? Why not?"
My concerns would be around doing too much of the thinking for students, or around breaking it down so far that they lose sight of the big picture. I've kind of been obsessed with questioning lately, which is why I was so excited to see your link to David Cox's recent post.
on 08 Apr 2010 at 8:01 am6 Steven Peters
It would be nice if there was an undo option in the game so you could take the same shot multiple times. That's how you deal with the question of is it possible to do something, you let them try multiple times. Unfortunately the game isn't set up like that, but the game could probably be cloned for educational purposes such as these.
I felt the same way about the NLOS Cannon game.
As long as we're talking about Flash games, WCYDWT?
Someone turned the XKCD comic into a game! Awesome.
on 11 Apr 2010 at 7:49 pm10 Cramer
Thanks Dan. I lost 3 hours of grading assessments on Friday night because I couldn't stop playing !!
on 17 Apr 2010 at 5:43 pm11 Stacy
Beyond the questions of collisions, I'm also tossing around something for the circle unit we'll be hitting soon at the end of this year. Give students the coordinates and radii of several circles already played in the field. Then give the final resting place for a fired circle. What will the final radius of the circle be? Still tossing it around, but that's what I've got so far.
@Stacy, if they can answer for a given set of pre-existing circles and a given cannon angle the location and size of the next circle, I'd say they've done something enormous. I shudder to think about scaffolding that task, though.
Why are all your screen shots from Gimme Friction Baby game? (I am joking, thank you for mentioning Taberinos)
I wish you would use original link instead of driving traffic toward big portal. Gimme Friction Baby was designed by Wouter Visser for Game Design Competition run at JayIsGames
And while I am here, you can find many more games at my own site too :)

Yep. Love it. Tickles my math fancy.

How do you create the multiple exposure screen shots? I've tried different things, but there must be an easier way!
on 19 May 2010 at 6:59 am17 Kris Kramer
Any suggestions for kids that don't have computers in the room?
DaoudaW: How do you create the multiple exposure screen shots? I've tried different things, but there must be an easier way!
I recorded the screen using ScreenFlow and converted it into a screencast. I used QuickTime Pro to turn the screencast into an image sequence. Then I imported all the layers into Photoshop and selectively masked out the little ball in each frame.
In other words, if there's any easy (or cheap) way to do this, you won't find it here. Sorry.
Kris: Any suggestions for kids that don't have computers in the room?
Sure. This particular case demands a lot of practice so you'd have to print out a lot of mini-examples like in step eight above. You'd also have to have the actual videos for each practice example queued up so students could check their predictions for the path of the ball. I apologize I haven't provided those resources. One of these days.
on 20 May 2010 at 5:10 am19 Paul E. Black
In step 4 you say, "… in a frictionless system like this, the incoming angle equals the outgoing angle." The system has friction. Maybe the way to put that is "… in a system without outside forces …"
on 26 May 2010 at 4:42 am20 Jeff Trevaskis
Gimme Friction is a great game Dan. Simple to play but very addictive. If you can extract some Maths from it then you are on a winner. Keep up the great WCYDWT posts. I am plucking up my courage to post a few of my ideas on my Webmaths blog.
Cheers, Jeff.

By David Beasley ATLANTA (Reuters) - A college police officer accidentally fired his weapon on campus during a training demonstration Wednesday morning in Savannah, Georgia, sending a bullet into a wall of a nearby classroom while students were inside. No injuries were reported in the incident, Savannah State University said in a statement. The bullet went through a window of the classroom where the officer was conducting a firearms demonstration for new officers, through the window of a nearby classroom, then into the wall of the classroom, the university said. ...

It's no secret that fashion run in cycles and things that were once fashionable will almost always come back in style. It is nonetheless a little sad and disheartening that truly atrocious styles can't be weeded out for good. When the seventies were over, I believe it was the general consensus that the Village People-lumberjack look was over. Not so, apparently.
Though not an exact copy of the late 70's look, the lumberjack style has been reincarnated as what I would call a "bohemian intellectual look." Making their way back into not only the pages of GQ, but also quickly spreading into the streets, are bootcut jeans, plaid shirts, corduroy jackets, and oversized sweaters.
This is a clear departure from the past few couple years of structured pieces and slim cut jeans. The worst perpetrator of this style has been J. Crew. Because of its accessible prices, it has been able to promulgate among the masses.
I have never liked plaid so I am clearly biased against its resurgence. The entire grunge look of the 90's was a dark time for style. I believe that it set the stage for an entirely new level of lower standards when it came to dressing as grunge was, in a sense, a repudiation of fashion.
To be fair, I think there is a way to embrace the trend in a classic way that exudes "weekend at the country manor" rather than hipster punk. Tartan does, after all, possess a rich history dating back to Braveheart days. Shawl collar and toggle close sweaters are two ways of interpreting the style in a positive way.
Another decent aspect of the "bohemian intellectual" look is the importance of layering. This means that you shouldn't get rid of your cardigan just yet. One good approach of making this work in the dead of winter would be to wear a down vest over a shirt and cardigan, then finish with a close cut overcoat. I like the contrast of new and old this creates. For a discreet nod to the plaid trend, you could include a tartan scarf from Burberry or elsewhere. As for the bootcut jeans, I recommend staying away and opting for just straight leg jeans, which are a compromise between skinny jeans and flared ones.
With this trend, you can also expect to see more clothes in earth tones and a move away from black and gray. The shoe of choice to match would be a moccasin unless you are actually going to be at your country manor, in which case may I suggest the Hunter rain boot (pictured).
If you are in a lumberjack mood, J. Crew is currently having a fall sale where you'll be able to stock up on enough plaid to clothe an entire Irish village.

Twitter exploded today (at least my feed did) with discussion about the fact that Uber pays teams of people to book rides via their competitor, Lyft, and then proceeds to recruit the drivers during those rides to leave Lyft and drive for Uber.
I think this is a brilliant strategy.
Before going any deeper on this, I want to be sure to say that I am not talking about the issue of ordering rides and then cancelling them. If either company does this on purpose, or encourages it in the slightest, that is totally below the belt and I am not supportive of that in any way, shape or form. Having said that, I do think rides are being ordered and cancelled by both. However, I don't think either company is asking employees to do it. My bet is that these employees are so passionate about their employer, and want to beat their competitor so deeply, that they are actually booking and cancelling rides on their own accord. That's tough to control but I would also bet both companies are being much louder about telling employees to stop this behavior.
Back to the discussion around this recruiting tactic. Two guys that I respect a lot, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH), Founders of Basecamp and authors of a book I love (actually it's required reading in the classes I teach at WSU), REWORK, tweeted a bunch of reasons they think it is horrible that Uber pays people to take rides and recruit drivers. You can also read the tweet replies of Uber CEO, Travis Kalanick. It's a great back and forth from smart people that disagree but still respect each other (at least Jason does, DHH seems like it's gonna be a bigger issue for him).
I haven't blogged in awhile, but I felt like I wanted to on this particular matter. I have zero problem with Uber paying people to book paid rides with competitors and then proceed to try to convince the driver to switch to Uber. I think it is creative, scrappy, unique, and I also bet that it works. Jason and DHH, if you clicked on their twitter links above (or already had been following or reading about this today), think it's akin to someone barging into their offices, sitting down at their engineers desk, trying to recruit them, and then "putting $10 in the tip jar on the way out." Even though I don't think this is quite the right comparison, I'll still go with it.
So yeah, someone barges into your office — although the employer owns/rents the office, the driver owns their car — so to be fair, it would be more like barging into individually owned offices by each engineer at a company, which of course, isn't how companies are setup — but again, I'll go ahead with their comparison. So, someone comes into your company and pitches your engineers, and they leave to go work for the company that did that.
Who's fault is that?
The girl that barged in and recruited?
The engineers that left?
Nope. It's you, the business owner. It's your fault.
If you want to keep people, do what it takes to keep them. No amount of recruiting, ride ordering, office barging or the like will get them to leave. If Lyft is really concerned about this tactic working, they should pay their drivers more, or offer their drivers benefit packages, pay for their insurance, or get them special deals on cars. It is up to Lyft to figure out how to compel their drivers to stay. Same with Uber. They need to have a reason for Lyft drivers to want to leave. Sitting in the back of a paid ride isn't enough.
That's the beauty of it though; the drivers decide. They will do what is best for them. And they should. Employers often take it too personally when people leave. I know I have and did. I have tried to evolve on this though over the years. When someone good leaves, I have tried to focus inwardly on the matter. What could I have done better so that they would have stayed? What culture, opportunities, treatment, benefits or income should I have modified so that they stayed here? I have also come to learn that no matter what you do, some people are still going to leave. It's a workforce norm nowadays (insert stat about average person changing jobs 7x in their career, etc.)
One final point. DHH pointed out that Uber is the leader, King of the space, and had Billions in funding and value — and because of this, they were unnecessarily stooping to a level that was beneath them. Additionally, my friend Zach Holmquist said something similar "scrappy, yes, but look at their last round of $1.2B" implying that hey, they have tons of cash, they don't need to do stuff like this. My response to DHH and Zach is the same; the DNA and culture of Uber is super aggressive and very scrappy. Their CEO appears to be wired that way. I find it somewhat hypocritical of DHH to say this when he's commented about how much of a shame it is that companies change once they receive funding or achieve success.
You can argue that Uber has crossed the line in other instances (I think they have). You can argue that they are too aggressive (not sure about that IMO), but if you realize that those same things are what got them to where they are, why in the world would they change it just because they are now successful and well funded? DHH and all of the other bloggers, authors and Silicon Valley folks that decry companies losing the core of what got them there — the Founders zeal — have to understand that it comes with benefits and challenges. What makes you successful can also make you hard to deal with. Either way, while you may not like the Travis K style of zeal, expecting them to change it now is both foolish and incorrect (IMO).
Bottom line, if you are Uber, keep recruiting in the back of paid rides. If you are Lyft, figure out how to make it much tougher for the Uber pitch to work. Or go book your own paid rides and recruit Uber drivers. Or many other things I am sure both companies are working feverishly on to grow their driver base.
Ultimately, the driver decides and I think that is just as it should be.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
by James Thurber
Analysis: Setting
Where It All Goes Down
Waterbury, CT (in real life, anyway), 1938-9
Of course, Walter's fantasies take us elsewhere, but we'll get to that in a minute. Waterbury is a pretty big city in Connecticut. Though Thurber never mentions the state, just the city, we can take a pretty solid guess that he's talking about the only major Waterbury close to the Tri-state area. Also, a newsboy goes by shouting about the Waterbury Trial, which pretty definitively refers to the Waterbury Trial of 1938, which took place in CT.
OK, enough geography. The real-life setting of this story is pretty mundane: a hairdresser, a parking lot, a hotel lobby, a drugstore – all everyday elements of any town or city. The banality or dullness of these locations reflects the dullness of Walter's everyday life. This is greatly contrasted with the settings of Walter's fantasies: a "Navy hydroplane" in a storm, an operating room, a courtroom, a dugout, a wall before a firing squad. These settings are dramatic, exciting, and out of the ordinary.

Yields 16 cups dried
One of the greatest joys when creating raw food recipes is experimenting with different ingredients… a practice that I highly encourage. Daily I get questions regarding substitutions. Of course we all might have different dietary needs and tastes which could necessitate altering a recipe. I love to share with you what I create for myself, my husband, friends and family. I spend a lot of time selecting the right ingredients with a particular goal in mind, looking to build a certain flavor and texture.
So as you experiment with substitutions, remember they are what they sound like, they are substitutes for the preferred item. Generally they are not going to behave, taste, or have the same texture as the suggested ingredient. Some may work, and others may not and I can't promise what the results will be unless I've tried them myself. So have fun, don't be afraid, and remember, substituting is how I discovered many of my unique dishes.

Mayor Jon Mitchell noted at Monday's School Committee meeting (which was accompanied throughout by the percussion, singing and honking horns of supporters of the New Bedford Arts Advocates & Alumni) that the last drastic cut to fine arts instruction has required a decade just to get to where it is today: music and art classes twice a month — and that's only when the schedule is favorable.
He worried how far back it would set things to cut the department again.
Though some School Committee members argued that class size might take a higher precedence than arts instruction, we can't ignore the fact that stimulating young brains with the hands-on, coordinated integration of fine arts and arts appreciation improves student achievement.
The language of art — every bit as transformative for brain development as foreign languages or the STEM curriculum — fosters creativity and arts appreciation, which also helps make happier people.
And speaking of STEM, it's worth remembering that the Global Learning Charter Public School annual forum this winter began with the executive director introducing an A for Arts into the acronym: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics, and asking the panel what role creativity has in education. Ask yourself that question.
The concerns about class size in a discussion about the potential layoffs of 250 school department employees are legitimate. Teachers will have greater challenges with more children. Different learning levels within the class will require more flexibility on the part of teachers.
But the more arts we find in the curriculum, the better able the students will be to cooperate and achieve.
In the vocational high schools — Greater New Bedford Vocational-Technical and Bristol County Agricultural, where students spend half their time studying graphic arts, and floral and landscape arts, among other things — academics are regularly complemented by hands-on, creative, practical lessons. They're also graduating and passing MCAS at dramatically higher rates than at New Bedford High School.
Rather than fighting to keep a few fine arts teachers, the mindset in New Bedford Public Schools should be one of relentlessly striving to add to the curriculum.
Included in the budget discussions at Monday's meeting was the request from the schools' business manager for guidance: If a position here or position there can be recovered, what is the priority? When those decisions are made, it is our hope that the principals will choose in favor of the arts curriculum. And we urge the City Council — once it properly votes to balance the fiscal year 2013 school budget — to consider supplementing the fine arts budget for the good of the entire system.

Cargo Ship Sails for Arctic Shortcut
Posted on Aug 12, 2013
A Chinese cargo ship is attempting one of the first-ever commercial trips through the Northeast Passage above Russia, a route opened up by global warming.
The Yong Sheng is a 19,000-tonne vessel operated by state-owned Cosco Group. It set sail Thursday from northeastern China for Rotterdam, Netherlands. The company's website states the journey via the Bering Strait could shave as much as 15 days off the traditional course, which winds through the Suez Canal and Mediterranean Sea.

Warning: The surgeon general has determined that playing The Cigar Game may be hazardous to your free time. But even nonsmokers can enjoy this 100 percent noncarcinogenic game. You're in the business of making cigars, which consist of a filler, a wrapper and a binder, in that order. Each of these cards has a grade of one, two, or three. After players bid points for the right to go first, turns consist of playing fillers to start new cigars, and adding single cards to any partially completed cigars. All ingredients of any cigar must be of the same grade, which determines the score for completing it. The first to reach 21 points wins. Other cards to spice things up are Cigar Stores, which guarantee points but limit your hand; Bumper Crops, which allow extra cards; and Droughts, which hasten the game's end. You say you were just a point behind the winner? That's close, but no cigar.

Survivor Zombie Outbreak Walkthrough
Here is the walkthrough for Survivor Zombie Outbreak. I will update the walkthrough as soon as I finish the level.
Take the keys from the bushes to the left of the door and use it to open the door. Move around the room and find the cutting plyer and the bullets on the table. Add them to your inventory. Move to the kitchen and take the chess piece from the sink. Take the tissue near the kettle. Use the plyer to cut the wire and take that into inventory.
Now take the chess piece and place it on the chess board. Once the board open, take the ice pick into inventory. Move back to kitchen, open the fridge, use the chisel to break the ice and take the hammer into inventory. Go upstairs, take the hammer and hit the zombie. You will find the key, place it in the inventory. Open the cupboard and break the pumpkin in the order, (Middle row middle, Top row first, Middle row last, Bottom row first, Top row middle, Middle row first, Bottom row last, Bottom row middle and First row last) to get the revolver. Load the bullets in the revolver. Open the side door using the key present in the inventory to move to next room. Take the magnet from the cupboard. Take the butterfly from the bed. Go back to ground floor. Join the wire and magnet and use them to take the key present near the curtain. Use the key to open the door.

Thank Miley for This, Guys. Thank Her.
9/9/2013 4:00 PM PDT, by Emily Trainham
We're so, so sorry, you guys. We tried to stop this. We tried to tell Miley Cyrus to keep her tongue in her mouth, for we knew that something like this could happen. We knew that Hollywood was simply too unstable to be able to withstand those kinds of shenanigans. But no one listened, and Miley kept jutting that dang ol' tongue out at every opportunity, and now we are in the midst of a terrible, terrible epidemic.
Rihanna's going to start doing it all the time too, see? And her bestie, Katy Perry, will follow suit, and then in order to steal Katy's thunder, Lady Gaga will start with the tongue thing. Then all her obsessive fans will start, too, and then Perez Hilton will do it ironically, and it will just go on and on and on, until there is nothing left but people looking like fools with their tongues lolling out of their gobs.
Are you prepared to fight this?

If you attend a workshop or parenting class, you are likely to hear that children misbehave for four common reasons: attention, power, revenge or inadequacy. Yet, when I ask parents the meanings behind behavior, they often come up with a broader range of reasons children misbehave. Let's look at the short list:).
Children may misbehave due to:
1. Developmental delays: Children who experience language, motor, social and cognitive delays may misbehave due to developmental challenges.
2. Illness: When we don't feel well, we often don't have the skills, patience, calming power, or thinking ability to do the right thing. Neither does your child.
3. Boredom: This is common in school when topics and activities do not stimulate the brain enough to keep it engaged.
4. Frustration and anger: When tasks, people or experiences lead us to frustration or anger, we are unlikely to do the right thing or make a good choice.
5. A need for attention: Most people enjoy attention, but it is normal for children to seek an especially high level of the stimulation and comfort of attention, love and nurturance.
6. Anxiety: Anxiety is simply fear turned on its side. They both come from the same biological brain system, the limbic system. Many times, children misbehave because they are anxious, afraid or both, even if they don't have the language skills to communicate their concerns or fears. This could be anything from monsters under the bed to a teacher who intimidates them.
7. Low self-esteem: When children do not regard themselves very highly, part of them figures, "Who cares. Whatever. Things are no good for me now so why should I comply?" (Be aware that children can experience true depression, in which case you may wish to consult with a professional.)
8. Misunderstanding: Sometimes children misunderstand what is expected of them. This can be due to communication, listening or attention challenges.
9. Pacing problems: The internal motor of some children runs too high, making their internal pacing and speed difficult to manage themselves.
10. Communication challenges: Due to receptive and/or expressive language issues, some children do not have the foundational communication skills to exhibit appropriate behaviors.
11. Sabotage: While parents are generally well meaning, they can mis-communicate with their children, expect skills beyond the child's ability, or interfere with learning because of their own anger and skill deficits. (See "Unintentional Sabotage," on p. 115.)
12. Sensory overload: Some children experience overloads to their nervous system that lead to acting up and acting out. Sensory calming skills need to be employed.
One method for stepping back and collecting data before you form an opinion or intervene is to ask yourself: "What is the meaning of the behavior?" "What underlies this behavior?" "Why is it occurring?" and "What factors are reinforcing this behavior?" This is where your detective skills come in handy.

I love this Amazon feature. You get a sense of the broader community of books that individual titles inhabit. I've looked at this feature a couple of times on my own book's Amazon page. The best example that I've found is the Kennedy Brothers classic paean to the Lost Cause, The South Was Right (Pelican Press). You can probably predict the family of books that have been purchased in addition to The South Was Right as well as the assumptions being made about how to understand the cause, evolution and consequences of the Civil War.

KINGSTON — It was as close to being a love feast as city politics will ever get: The Common Council voted unanimously to approve a 2013 budget that is all but identical to the current one.
In praising Mayor Shayne Gallo and one another for the new budget, city lawmakers pointed to a number of bullets that had been successfully dodged: No layoffs of city workers had been imposed, no services had been cut and the state-imposed property tax cap had been met.
"On the whole, this is a very conservative but sound document," said Majority Leader Thomas Hoffay. "It's one we can live with for a year."
Overall tax levy will rise to $16.8 million from $16.2 million, an increase stemming from a $565,000 jump in welfare costs. While Ulster County has offered to assume welfare costs from the city, that won't be possible until 2014. When combined with welfare costs, the general city tax rate will increase 7.6 percent for homeowners and 5.4 percent for businesses. Those rates are deceiving, in light of a 3 percent decline in the total value of all city properties in the past year.
Hoffay told the council chamber that a home valued at $150,000 will pay on average $3.63 less in city taxes next year, while a business valued at $250,000 will pay on average $13.59 more in taxes.
Lawmakers voiced concern about the depletion of the general fund balance. But Tuesday was not a night for fretting. When the vote was called and Alderman-at-Large Jim Noble slammed the gavel, three bullets had been dodged and all was well with the world of Kingston city politics.

We've been watching from a distance as a sexy litigation battle unfolds down at the Delaware Court of Chancery between media moguls John Malone and Barry Diller. It's so exciting, if for no other reason than that it might generate one of those classic opinions from either Chancellor Chandler or Vice Chancellor Strine. Don't disappoint us guys!
Here's what's going down, courtesy of the WSJ. Barry Diller wants to break up IAC, his $7 billion e-commerce company with a fancy-pants building just up the street from Law Blog headquarters, into four pieces. Last week, IAC and Malone's Liberty, which has a big stake in IAC, sued each other over the proposed restructuring. Click here and here for the dueling complaints.
Yesterday, Liberty went back to court, filling this complaint attempting to seize control of the company from Diller, repeatedly accusing him of "misconduct." Credit Diller, a former Hollywood executive, with not issuing a pat response such as, "Liberty's legal filing is without merit and we will defend the action vigorously." Instead, he fired back. "I am beginning to think these people are insane . . . Everything they cite is hogwash."
Liberty is represented by Baker Botts in New York and Kevin Abrams and A. Thompson Bayliss at Abrams & Laster in Wilmington. Counseling Diller are Ted Mirvis at Wachtell Lipton in New York and Kenneth Nachbar at Morris Nichols in Wilmington.

'Captain America, The First Avenger', directed by Joe Johnston (Wolfman) is the latest superhero to come out of the 'Marvel' stable.
The year is 1941…Hitler and his merry band of Nazis are storming through Europe.
One particular Nazi, Johann Schmidt aka Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) is in Norway searching for an ancient artifact known as Odin's Tesseract…
This artifact is very, very powerful. We know this, because of the small print written on it… ...not meant for human eyes…Apparently, the Tesseract gives a person unlimited power. And who is the last person on Earth you'd want to have this power…Mr. Red Skull of course. He's so evil that even Hitler wants him gone.
Anyway, Red Skull finds the Tesseract and I'm sure you can guess the rest.
Meanwhile, back in the USA, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans)a scrawny, asthmatic dude, with enough illnesses to keep his health insurance premiums at an all time high, wants nothing more than to join the Army and defend America against the evil doers. Unfortunately for Rogers, no matter how many times he tries to enlist, the Army keeps rejecting him. That is until…
Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci), a kindly German scientist, comes along. He sees something in Steve…an inner goodness. So with Erskine's pull, Steve becomes a soldier in the United States Army. He also agrees to undergo an experimental procedure that the good doctor and inventor extraordinaire, Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) came up with. If this experiment works, Steve will become a 'Super Soldier'.
Story continues after the jump.
Quick note…Red Skull underwent the same procedure, but things didn't turn out exactly right…Hint: Schmidt now has a big Red Skull and a face that would scare even his mother.
Luckily for Steve, the procedure turned out differently. Quicker than you can boil water or fry an egg, Rogers goes from being a puny, sickly fellow to having a body that Schwarzenegger, in his body building days, would envy…Plus he can beat up alot of people at the same time, jump really high and leap really far.
The Army considers him a 'human weapon' and one that is way too valuable to risk in combat. They decide to use Rogers as a celebrity to sell Bonds in order to raise money for the war. Backed by a chorus line of hot, sexy USO dancers, and dressed in a red, white and blue costume, Steve hits the road. He tours all over the United States and Captain America is a big hit. He's loved by everyone. Alas, all this attention and fame, doesn't make him a 'happy boy'. Steve wants to fight. And what Steve wants, Steve gets.
When his tour takes him to Europe, Rogers finds out that his childhood friend, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and his men have been captured by Red Skull and his soldiers known as Hydra. Steve disobeys the orders of his Commander in Chief, Col. Chester Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones) and winds up rescuing not only Bucky but several hundred captured soldiers. Captain America is finally a real hero…And this is just the beginning.
Steve and his men must now stop Red Skull before he uses the Tesseract to wipe out much of the Planet.
That's alot for any man to handle…even a Super one. It's a good thing, Steve has someone to flirt with. She's the tough, no nonsence, beautiful British Agent, Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). This being the 1940's, poor Steve doesn't even get to first base with Peggy.
'Captain America' is shot in 3D and it really didn't have to be. The special effects aren't that great and there's something very simplistic about this film. Maybe you have to be a fan of the 'Captain America' comic books to appreciate the movie, but I think a film should stand on its own…and in my opinion, this one didn't.
John and I actually came pretty close with our 'bagel rating'. The film opens in theaters, Friday July 22, 2011.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Paine College football is back and stronger than ever as the team pulled off a decisive 39-0 victory over the Gladiators from Orangeburg-Calhoun Prep on Nov. 2 at Laney Stadium. This win marks the first home win for the 2-1 Lions since making their return to football this season after a 51-year absence.
Paine's defense was on fire handing Orangeburg Prep their first shutout of the season. The offense also delivered with quarterback Loranzo Hammonds, Jr. rushing for one touchdown and throwing three more to three different receivers.
Orangeburg Prep won the coin toss and decided to defer until the second half leading to Paine College scoring on the opening drive of the game. Hammonds led the Lions 65 yards in a little over three minutes and ran the ball into the end zone on a 43-yard rush to give Paine a 6-0 lead fresh into the game.
Hammonds connected with Jabari Menefee in the second quarter on a 37-yard pass to put more points on the board for the Lions. Terry Wiley, Jr. made the PAT giving Paine a 13-0 lead. Later in the second half, Juan Neloms picked off Justice Walker's pass and returned it to the end zone. His score was called back, however, after an illegal block call on the Lions after the interception. Paine wasted no time getting back to the end zone as Danny Wohlgemuth was next up on the receiving end of a Hammonds touchdown pass during the second quarter. Wohlgemuth caught a 16-yard pass and Wiley again made the extra point attempt bringing the score to 20-0. Just seconds before the half, B.J. London caught a 33-yard pass from Hammonds that put the Lions up 26-0 at halftime.
On a bad Gladiators snap in the third quarter, Paine linebacker Vincent Thomas recovered Orangeburg Prep's fumble for a touchdown. After Wiley's successful PAT, the Lions led the Gladiators 33-0 heading into the fourth quarter.

OGDEN, Utah —Three Sacramento State golfers earned all-Big Sky Conference honors, it was announced today. Senior Lisa Persson was voted to the first team. Chloe Bartek to the second team and Tiffany Nichols earned honorable mention. This year marked the first season that the all-league teams were decided by a vote of the league's coaches.
Persson led the Hornets with a stroke average of 75.64 in 22 rounds. The senior from Jonkoping, Sweden, finished third at the conference championship. Persson finished the season with three top five finishes and helped Sacramento State to a victory at the Rainbow Wahine .

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- Who or what is responsible for the curse against the Mariner?
- Why does the Mariner get to survive to voyage when all the sailors die? After all, he was the one who shot the albatross?
- What does "Life-in-Death" represent, and what is the result of her winning the dice match with Death?
- Drum roll, please (Dadadada…). What does the albatross symbolize, and why does the Mariner decide to kill it?
- Does this seem like a religious or specifically Christian poem? Does it change your perspective at all to learn that Coleridge was considered by many to have radical, free-thinking tendencies?
- Why do you think this poem has become so famous and influential? Does the poem seem ahead of its time, or does it seem quaint and old-fashioned?

This is the sound of African Wild Dog pups suckling in the safety of their den.
On the 4th of July we spotted the first sighting of the Wild Dog pups at Jock Safari Lodge. They were denning by a rocky outcrop on the concession and the Endangered Wildlife Trust had set up a camera trap outside the den to monitor the pack.
The Jock Safari Lodge concession is within a remote area of the Kruger National Park, South Africa. The dogs are wild and researchers and film crews have not interfered with the natural behavior of the animals.

On Halloween this year, instead of being the best sugar pusher in the neighborhood, or following your inappropriately costumed progeny as they amass their candy fortunes, or abandoning your own hard-earned dignity for a night of brew-fueled revelry, let me steer the adults amongst you to REDCAT, the CalArts downtown theater at Walt Disney Concert Hall, where for one night only, Mark Z. Danielewski will conduct a staged reading with shadow puppets and musical accompaniment of his Halloween-set story, "The Fifty Year Sword." The evening will also raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) in honor of the son of one of Danielewski's close friends, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes on Halloween.
" 'The Fifty Year Sword' is a tale that is told to five orphans," Danielewski, 45, explained recently, "and slowly, through the tale, you realize that the orphans are being threatened and that threat is severe enough to curtail their lives. Anyone who is cut by any of the swords will feel that cut in their 50th year… . It creates a very specific date, and, on a philosophical level, if you knew you were going to die at this time, it would shape your life. So the idea is, how do you protect those children, and who protects them?"
The performance will feature five actors providing the voices, the 40-foot shadows of shadow-caster Christine Marie, sound design by John Zalewski and music from several original Harry Partch instruments (which is appropriate, as Partch created his own instruments to play a tonal scale of his own invention, much as Danielewski does through his fiction).
Danielewski, author of the experimental novels "House of Leaves" and "Only Revolutions," has lived in Los Angeles for more than two decades, and this performance at REDCAT is a continuation of his attempts to give meaning to contemporary life by pushing the conventions and traditions of storytelling.
Danielewski was born in New York City. His father, Tad Danielewski, was a Polish-born director and acting teacher who, as a young man, survived the Warsaw uprising only to be sent to a Nazi labor camp before being rescued by the American forces. In the United States, Tad was a director during the golden age of television, directing "Omnibus," then went on to become a programming executive at NBC who, among his claims to fame, gave Woody Allen his first TV job.
However, when the younger Danielewski was growing up, his father was working on a series of films that had the family moving to far-flung locations, including traveling to Ghana for the Emmy Award-winning series "Africa" and working with Nobel Prize winner Pearl S. Buck on "The Guide," about India. Danielewski said his parents presented culture as something both accessible and not expensive. "You go to the Prado and look at these amazing paintings, and my Mom would say, 'Draw this.' We would go to the movies, and my father would say, 'Let's talk about how this is a political movie. How is it made?' "
In 1972, his father was making a movie in Spain, "España Puerta Abierta," on which he had spent two years and his life savings of $2 million, when the film was confiscated by the Franco government. Danielewski's father returned to New York with, literally, nothing to show. This setback led to the greatest dislocation in Danielewski's young life, when his father accepted an offer to become a tenured professor and start a film department at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. "That's where I ended up going to high school," Danielewski said. "It would have been a great experience if we were Mormons, but we weren't." he added.
Danielewski says he made many good friends, some of whom he remains close with to this day, but they were not, in his words, "like-minded … . They did not have a sense of cultural value."
The result? "I have this advice for parents who want their kids to go to great colleges," he said. "Move them to a place that they deem as hellish. It will motivate them to get out of there. I knew that going to a good university would allow me to get back to a place where people like analyzing movies and reading texts."
Danielewski found all that, and Harold Bloom, at Yale.
Although he never took a course from Bloom, he knew he was among those infected with Bloom's love of literature. Danielewski, who graduated in 1988, majored in English at a time when Yale was swirling in the controversies surrounding deconstructionist literary theory, but Bloom inspired in Danielewski a love of Shakespeare and Wallace Stevens. Danielewski also was drawn to the romanticism of the French poets Apollinaire and Mallarmé as well as Rimbaud and Verlaine, whom he first learned of through a song on Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks."
If I dwell on Danielewski's formative intellectual roots, it is because they continue to inform his work. Danielewski said he knew from childhood that he would be a novelist. "House of Leaves," which Danielewski began when he was 26 and published 11 years later, combines every form of literature that interests Danielewski, from the traditional coming-of-age story of a young hipster, to the Hollywood genre films, to academic citations, including footnotes replete with irony; it is a meta-work of the modern age. As Danielewski said by way of analogy: "In the old days, you were going to have one job that was going to last most of your life. Nowadays, kids have three or four jobs and … they're assembling a life." Similarly, Danielewski, who at various times has been a plumber, English teacher and served morning coffee, has assembled not only a life, but a lifework.
He said he sees the Halloween performance of "The Fifty Year Sword" as part of an ongoing effort "to get out of my comfort zone." Dealing with a range of personalities, booking rehearsal studios and reacting to how performers change his words is not his usual form.
Which is why, if you are looking for a different sort of Halloween evening, REDCAT is for you. "The piece is not entirely accessible," he admits. "It's difficult. You have to think about it. There is a very definite meaning there, and it does emerge.
"These are complicated ideas: What is, exactly, forgiveness, what is fate, what holds things together, what cuts things apart?"
So consider it this way: "We're raising money for the JDRF. It's for those people who don't want to have sugar. It's … substantial. So maybe I'm offering apples instead of candy," Danielewski, said, adding with a laugh, "and maybe those apples have razor blades in them."
"Mark Z. Danielewski: The Fifty Year Sword," Mon., Oct. 31, 8:30 p.m. $20 (general), $16 (students), $10 (CalArts students, faculty and staff). Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater, 631 W. Second St., downtown. (213) 237-2800. redcat.org.

Are sunny skies overhead the key to a sunny disposition? New research from the United Arab Emirates shows a strong link between positive moods and time spent outdoors in sunlight.
"This is just a pilot study and we need larger sample size but we found that behavioral change is associated with mood change and vitamin D status," study co-author Dr. Fatme Al Anouti, an assistant professor in Zayed University's college of sustainability sciences and humanities, told The Huffington Post in an email.

Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, and now...Katie Couric.
The new anchor of the CBS Evening News has made an unlikely rise to the top.
And when she hits the airwaves September 5, Katie knows there's a lot on the line.
That's because she's a real first: the first woman to solo anchor a network newscast. It's something I asked her about when I sat down with Ms. Couric last week in New York.
Laurie: "I understand there was a real Helen Reddy moment around the dinner table with your daughters?"
Katie: "Well, there should have been! We called a 'family meeting'--really, we were eating meatloaf around the kitchen table--because my career has an impact on my family and on our lives. At the time my daughters were 14 and 10. I asked how they felt about my changing careers. Without hesitation they said, 'We think you should go to CBS.' They said, 'You're ready for a change, you need a new challenge.'
"Carrie said, 'I think you should', and when I asked her why, she said it was because I'd be the first woman to do the job by myself.
"I was surprised Carrie was so 'I am woman'-ish in her assessment of the situation...and I wouldn't have done it if they didn't feel comfortable with my decision, or if we hadn't been able to talk it through."
Laurie: "Nobody asks men anchors, 'What about balancing work and family?'"
Katie: "There is such a double standard. Some of it is just annoying, and some of it is just the way it is. If you used all your energy to combat it, it would distract from the job and work.
"I've had people say to me, 'You're a mom.' And I say, 'Yes, I am. And Brian Williams is a dad, and Charlie Gibson is a dad. We're getting there, but some struggles are apparent in viewing women in equal roles in our society...I think a lot of women, like yourself, feel that way, residual sexism...but you deal with that and combat it by virtue of our performance on the job."
It will be interesting to watch.
We want to know what you think about it. Chime in on our News Blog here.
And mark your calendar: Katie's first night on the CBS Evening News is September 5, the day after Labor Day!
