Thomas Rausch
Rev. Thomas P. Rausch, S.J., Ph.D., is the T. Marie Chilton Professor of Catholic Theology and professor of theological studies at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, having received his doctorate from Duke University.[1] A systematic theologian specializing in the areas of Christology, ecclesiology, and ecumenism, he has published 20 books and over 200 articles and reviews. His book, Pope Benedict XVI: An Introduction to His Theological Vision, examines the theology of Benedict XVI, Pope Emeritus.[2] He has taught at Loyola Marymount since 1976.
In addition to his current endowed professorship at LMU, Fr. Rausch has also served as the Director of Campus Ministry, Chair of the Theological Studies Department, Associate Dean of the Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts, and Rector of the Jesuit Community.[3] He has held visiting professorships throughout the world.
Beyond studying and writing about ecumenical theology, Fr. Rausch has also been an active participant in the ecumenical movement. In 1983–1984 he was appointed by the Secretariat for Christian Unity as Catholic Tutor to the Ecumenical Institute, the World Council of Churches study center at Bossey, Switzerland. He was a member of the U.S. Catholic/Southern Baptist Conversation 1994–2001 and one of the signatories of the Richard John Neuhaus/Charles Colson Evangelicals and Catholics Together 1997 document, "The Gift of Salvation." In 2001 he was appointed to the Roman Catholic/World Evangelical Alliance Consultation and serves as co-chair of the Los Angeles Catholic-Evangelical Committee. He presently is a member of the Anglican-Roman Catholic Consultation, USA. He also co-chairs the Theological Commission of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.[4]
He is frequently quoted on programs for the History Channel and other similar television channels. His writing has been heralded by fellow theologians across theological disciplines. As Peter C. Phan, the Chair of Catholic Social Thought at Georgetown University, has observed, "With his trademark clarity, accessibility, and depth, [Tom] Rausch helps us understand the essentials of our Christian faith in a church and world marked by polarization and conflict."[5]

With the release of Apple Final Cut Pro X, Apple has adopted a radical new approach that will dramatically change the future of non-linear video editing. Final Cut Pro X is not an upgrade of Final Cut Pro 7, but rather an entirely new application that shares the same name.
As more and more video camera manufacturers abandon tape-based conventional recording, smaller, more powerful video cameras have evolved, recording increasingly vast amounts of data. With Final Cut Pro X, Apple shifts its flagship video editor's emphasis to tapeless, metadata-based shooting and production techniques that accommodate this emerging data-centric workflow.
In acknowledging and embracing this change, Apple offers users a new paradigm for editing, organization, performance, and post-production workflow.
Most of the features introduced in Final Cut Pro X are welcome and badly needed. Some are long overdue. Still, others are positively jarring and require a change in mindset to appreciate.
The burning question is whether Final Cut Pro X is a real professional non-linear editor (NLE) application, designed for industrial delivery of video assets to businesses large and small, or whether it's merely a souped-up version of iMovie, just one step ahead of the consumer market.
Part of why we say that Final Cut Pro X represents a radical change is that perhaps we should consider that the question might no longer be relevant. There are all different kinds of professional video editors and editing environments, and to try to limit that definition seems self-defeating.
Much of Final Cut Pro X version 1.0 is staggeringly impressive. There's no doubt that Apple's under-the-bonnet engineering will make life very fluid for some editors. On the other hand, this product at launch is nowhere near perfect, and is sure to defy expectations and disappoint many longtime working video pros who spent the last year looking forward to an upgrade of Final Cut Studio.
Despite many reservations about the new Final Cut Pro X, after a thorough testing of the app, we're cautiously on board. Here's why.
Interface retake
The new Final Cut Pro X interface borrows liberally from Final Cut Server and iMovie – and barely hints at the power of the underlying toolset.
Ingesting directly from the camera into Final Cut Pro X is as simple and straightforward as it is in iPhoto – if you have an approved camera and the related device driver software installed. It supports all Apple mobile devices: iPhone, iPad, iPod, and iPod touch.
The Magnetic Timeline is a quantum leap in video interface design. The power behind this methodology is evident. You now have the ability to grab and move clips in and out of the timeline such that moving one part of your timeline will not bump, nudge, overwrite or completely mess up some other part of your project. This is a huge accomplishment.
Moreover, the need to maintain an elemental level of connection is vital. Apple does that in Final Cut Pro X with the Clip Connections feature. It's more than just a simple visual indicator of what parts your project media is linked to while on the timeline. Clip Connections offers a powerful yet simple, easy way to maintain the linking of video, audio, sound, effects – and even graphics and music, allowing all media to be treated as a single contiguous element.
Clip Connections maintains content sync using just metadata, and it does so transparently. This is not how grouping or linking works in other software; here your content is bonded to the other elements, connecting invisibly without key commands or secret tricks.
As an editor, it's difficult to accept an NLE handling tasks without us directing the action. While not everything is handled perfectly, in our testing, the app was prone to error only when syncing surround-sound projects. In fairness, the error rate was not higher than if we handled the same files manually.
To get an idea of how to work with Final Cut Pro X, start a new project from scratch. If nothing else, go out and shoot something specific for your first FCP X project, using the most modern tapeless camera you can.
It takes some time to get comfortable with the new interface, and we found the experience disorienting at first. You cannot expect to open any existing project file. Final Cut Pro X is not backward-compatible with projects created in Final Cut Studio, because of the underlying architecture changes in the new version that allow for all the new capabilities.
Don't expect to use many of your time-honoured keyboard commands, either. The essentials are still there, but the function key commands have been remapped.
The Event Library offers you a simplified view setting, so that only the project and media you are working with appear in an easy, concise view.
Some cameras that are popular with video pros might have minor issues. For example, in our tests, the software did not support importing media directly from Sony's EX1, so media transfer had to first go through Sony's XDCam Transfer Tool, and then get imported as files, much the same way it was handled previously.
Likewise, ingest from Arri's Alexa is limited, as metadata from that camera is handled as an FCP 7-compatible XML sidecar file.
This version of Final Cut Pro X currently does not support any XML formats. And that will give broadcasting professionals some pause.
To handle scratch disk allocation, you no longer define a location based on a system level setting; you now define disk locations and move data directly when an Event is created, or from within the Event Library.
Click on a little gear icon at the bottom of the Event window and select the Group Events by Disk command. Then you can move or allocate media to any attached volume listed.
Another change comes within the Clip Browser, where you now skim through your video files at a speed never before possible – making the JKL keyboard method positively lethargic by comparison. We have never personally used clip views, preferring to rely on the list view in our browser when editing. Yet this skimming function is so incredibly fast and functional that it has changed our mode of operation. The power behind skimming also allows real-time preview of your filters and effects in both the viewer and as thumbnails.
Organizational overhaul
With a new feature called Auto Content-Analysis, Final Cut Pro X automatically analyzes your media during import and archives critical information from the camera's metadata, such as colour balance, movement, and rolling shutter artefacts, while the application adds tracking and stabilization information and checks for the presence and number of human faces in each shot – all on a clip-by-clip basis. This feature then populates and labels the Smart Collections (colour-coded in purple) in the Event Library, with your media flagged indicating each category.
By handling all of this analytical information at ingest, Final Cut Pro X tags the files with additional metadata in a manner that speeds file processing, delivery, and rendering capabilities and vastly accelerates workflow.
The power does not stop there. After import, your media is processed in the manner of an assistant editor, with the application automatically grouping shots based on close-ups and wide shots, for example.
By adding your own keywords to the automatic ones that the program generates, you can also flag content based on client, location, time of day, B-roll or even script notes, letting you organize your media in nearly an infinite variety of ways.
All this action is invisibly handled in the background because Final Cut Pro X is a 64-bit application working with a 64-bit operating system.
NEXT PAGE: Performance >>
Without exception, Apple Final Cut Pro X is the fastest NLE we have edited on without the assistance of dedicated hardware. That performance gain comes from the program's native 64-bit toolset and the operating system's Grand Central Dispatch, which harnesses power from the GPU processing as well as the multicore CPU.
This 64-bit architecture lets Final Cut Pro X access every byte of RAM, execute true multi-processing across all CPU cores, and unlock GPU-based graphics processing.
Because FCP X processing is scalable, it's always using the maximum power available to your computer, whether it be a MacBook Pro or a Mac Pro tower. Final Cut Pro X finally utilizes every CPU and GPU cycle to accelerate background processes.
That is done while simultaneously archiving the data stream and rendering, transcoding, and moving content in the background – all without bringing your machine to a grinding halt. Now, the extra RAM, disk speed, and powerful graphics card add a noticeable speed boost to your machine.
With that power, tasks like importing media become a minor background chore rather than a consuming process.
You can immediately start editing in the foreground while the file is being transferred or transcoded for proxy creation, all of which happens in the background.
There's a noticeable improvement in media handling and responsiveness after the transfer/ingest is complete. This is due to additional processing power being allocated back to application as soon as the Finder has completed its tasks.
Final Cut Pro X never lagged, even as we pushed the machine to the limit, often while rendering high-resolution output as DPX frames and simultaneously transferring media to multiple external drives – in addition to rendering files for playback on our iPad and prepping content to be edited on a MacBook Pro.
This is genuine multitasking and it feels good.
Post production
In post-production, the majority of an editor's time is devoted to media organization and content labeling. With Final Cut Pro X, labeling is based on content, user keywords, deciphering flaws such as camera shake or bad audio, and automatically sorting that content in the Event Library. With Final Cut Pro X, you can begin the creative process more quickly.
You no longer have to sort through clip after clip searching for a particular night-time exterior shot – just group clips by content, import date, scene, duration, or even file type. This allows you to focus on only the DSLR footage, for example.
This organizational process is key to the operational speed gain of Final Cut Pro X. The ability to dynamically modify multiple search parameters is much like having Google built into the program – it simulates a modern search engine, giving you faster access to your media by searching with words rather than endless visual scanning.
This organizational database is also key to the new Clip Connection's ability to maintain synchronization of your original media, voiceover, graphics, music and sound effects as a single element in the timeline.
The concept is simple: group all of the elements together as one contiguous clip, give the user a visual reference to confirm what is attached, then lock the clip to maintain continuity and sync.
With this sort of file synchronization, tools like the Magnetic Timeline gain true power to change the way you edit, making the process more creative and less mechanical.
The elimination of a track-based timeline in Final Cut Pro X is no longer an issue for the editor when the elemental pieces are locked together as a single group. Moving each element no longer risks a loss of media or a clip overwrite rippling down the edits in your timeline.
Until now, keyword searching was limited to the object level, meaning that if you associated a keyword with a clip, that keyword would always bring you the entire piece of media. Nothing in Final Cut Pro X shows us the underlying power of its new data processing capabilities better than the new Range Based Keywords feature.
In Final Cut Pro X, keywords have no restrictions, and a selection of a portion of one or more clips can now be defined with a keyword, and displayed as a single new clip in the Event Library. It no longer matters whether or not the selection encompasses the entire media chunk.
With Final Cut Pro X, any or all parts of a grouping of multiple clips, even if they're different media types and stored on separate volumes, are treated as one single new piece of media in the Event Library.
Finishing: sound and colour
Final Cut Pro X has incorporated some of the best features from Soundtrack Pro and Color to simplify audio editing and colour correction and give you a more streamlined way to finalize your projects.
Apple has integrated some professional audio editing features into this release. Final Cut Pro X can pre-analyze audio flaws in your media in the same manner that it determines camera shake and colour imbalance. It can automatically remove silent channels, hum, or excessive background noise, or it can use these base analyses as a starting point so you can use the inspector to fine-tune settings.
Understanding that many DSLR-based productions rely on having video and audio recorded on separate devices, Final Cut Pro X compares audio waveforms from both sources, then using the Synchronize Clips command, linking either your stereo or surround sound audio with sub-pixel accuracy, then locks them together using Clip Connections into a single new file to ensure that audio and video are handled as a single unit.
Once Apple made available more than 1300 royalty-free sound effects for download (after purchase) and added facility for third-party Audio Unit plug-ins, we quickly forgot about Apple's previous audio editing tool.
Color grading is another area where tools of the past are being replaced.
Cameras today record colour settings as part of the data stream, something Final Cut Pro X immediately detects and can correct. The Balance Color setting is a good place to begin, as everything starts with proper white balance.
Why not allow the computer handle your shooting errors?
Apple has innovated Final Cut Pro X's new colour features with a tool that we never thought we would see: a simple, efficient way match the colour and contrast between multiple clips—all handled mathematically. The Match Color setting is not perfect, but we have seen many editors try and fail at this task without proper monitoring.
Not surprisingly, the colour correction interface has changed dramatically. Gone is the node-based look of the previous tools. The new Color Board is simple and straightforward, allowing users to correct colour, exposure, and saturation. Unfortunately there is no numeric entry accompanying the slider bar, so you must use the Match Color feature to maintain colour consistency across multiple clips.
Apple has focused on online electronic delivery functionality in this release of Final Cut Pro X, and on embedding direct compression and upload support for video streams on Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, and CNN's iReport formats, other Apple devices, DVDs, and the much-anticipated support for Blu-ray format.
The H.264 acceleration is amazingly fast compared to previous Apple tools, creating a full-resolution 1080p23.98 file faster than real time. No longer does it take hours to compress for website delivery. Compressor 4 has been fully integrated into Final Cut Pro X, providing easily importable export workflows for editors.
However, output options are currently limited due to the lack of third-party hardware devices. Without hardware output, the broadcast industry requirements to deliver HDCamSR videotape with a defined order of multiple audio tracks is seriously constrained. Capture and playback of content for live events has similar problems, since Final Cut Pro has been a growing staple in many live broadcast trucks for a number of years.
What's missing?
When there's a wholesale 'out with the old and in with the new', there's bound to be some irreconcilable losses. Final Cut Pro X has its share.
Gone are Log and Capture over anything except FireWire; Bins; many of the native codecs used for editing in the timeline; tabbed browsing of projects; panels; and software tools like DVD Studio Pro, Color, Soundtrack Pro, and Cinema Tools that were formerly part of the suite.
There are also extensive changes in the keyboard editing conventions. Our inability to use some of the most common editing commands to insert and move media squandered a good deal of our previous editing speed and expertise. While you can still manually modify key sets, there are a few seemingly arbitrary changes.
For instance, Command-I has been used to import files across the platform, and in nearly all Mac apps, for decades. Yet with Final Cut Pro X, Apple has decided to now employ this command for Import from Camera. This makes us unhappy for a couple of reasons.
Tapeless workflows, by their very nature, are designed to take the camera out of the mix. Why would someone go through the hassle of plugging in one or more cameras to transfer data when their SDHC card can be read directly from the SD slot on their laptop at three times the speed of a camera connection?
Apple appears to understand how data is actually handled. Even Camera Archives created by other software packages can be read by Final Cut Pro X, allowing users conventional archive tools like Imagine Products ShotPut Pro.
The Camera Import Dialog allows you to open previously archived media. Here, we were able to use the Open Archive button to open these Panasonic P2 files shot on an HVX200. This 720p DVCProHD media was archived in the original card format via two different software tools, using Panasonic's P2CMS software to extract the material.
Third-party hardware
Tools that some videographers have built entire workflows around – such as DVD Studio Pro, Color, Cinema Tools and Soundtrack Pro – are history. Moreover, there is very limited support in the Final Cut Pro X debut for third-party codecs and little if any third-party hardware support – at least until Lion (OS X 10.7) ships and people get their heads around Thunderbolt I/O.
As a working industry professional, all of our workflows are centred on acquisition and delivery of various content options and formats for clients. However, Final Cut Pro X excludes 3D editing, professional monitoring, and a large chunk of our broadcast market capabilities.
All of those Blackmagic, Aja, and Matrox hardware products have limited use with the initial launch of Final Cut Pro X. Third-party plugins and effects are also limited, leaving many wondering how long a huge base of prosumer and professional users are going to work without their regular hardware and software.
Hints of what is coming are showing up online: video posted from one of Blackmagic Design's distributors showed a working Thunderbolt I/O device a week before the public release. And Apple has confirmed that it is working with third-party vendors to help them update their products for FCP X, yet we do not expect to see much in the way of hardware until Lion is released.
While Final Cut Pro X cannot open the DPX or OpenEXR file types used for commercial production and visual effects in many Hollywood feature workflows, Final Cut Pro X does have the built-in libraries from Shake already in place under the Share -> Export Image Sequence function to output such files. We wonder how long it will take before we're able to open those files, as well as other formats like Red's R3D, Sony's SR2, ARRIRAW, and the high-speed Phantom Cine files.

With Final Cut Pro X, Apple is once again out to completely re-invent the video industry. This is a truly groundbreaking release for a 1.0 software version, and we hope that the professional features that many video editors currently use will be made available soon. For the time being, as someone that needs to work for a living,we're not giving up our hardware-based version of Final Cut Pro 7 just yet, especially since Apple makes it possible for users to have both Final Cut Pro X and Final Cut Studio functional on the same computer. We regret that the older suite of tools has been removed from the Apple Store, but we plan to start using this version of Final Cut Pro for our direct to web deliverables and keep testing while we wait for App Store updates and additional features. The only remaining question for now is, how long before we get this on our iPad?

Thanks for a great plugin! I'm using it now in a site I've created and it looks really good!
I'm fading between 2 images. (from day to night).
The only thing that bothers me is that when you click on the different pages of the website the background reloads... and a new fade cycle begins..
Is it possible to make it stay in the background and fade back and forth without reloading every time I go between the different pages of the site?
Thanks in advance!

I'm meeting Georg Sadowicz in his atelier in Berlin-Hohenschönhausen. The Berlin-based artist was born in Liegnitz, Poland, on the German border. Since April, two of his pieces – precursors to larger work – have been made available to visitors as a limited run in the Jewish Museum Berlin's art vending machine. They are titled, "The Cantor" and "The Mill." Sadowicz's atelier is a mere hundred meters from the grounds of a former Stasi detention center, now a memorial site. The sight of it troubles me, but the unease vanishes as soon as I step into Sadowicz's atelier. → continue reading
Escaping the Escape Points
Perplexing legacy
With her works for our art vending machines, Deborah Wargon exposes things that got swept under the rug
A cordial welcome, the wafting flavors of a freshly-cooked meal, a light-drenched room with a high ceiling, full of brightly-colored books and pictures, and a piano with a sign-post 'to Australia' sitting on it… My first encounter with Deborah Wargon in her live-in atelier in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg neighborhood is a far cry from the rather severe, somber associations that the term 'testament enforcer' brings up for me. Wargon – a musician as well as visual and theater artist born in Melbourne in 1962 – describes herself this way on the package insert that comes with the small-scale artworks that she created for the art vending machine in our permanent exhibition. Those artworks bear the title "The Legacy of Friede Traurig" – where Friede Traurig doubles as a proper name and, in German, to mean peace sorrowful. And Deborah Wargon, who is best known for her paper cuttings inside former insect cases, says that she would rather be sorrowful.
With a little good luck, you may get one of her works from the vending machine: for instance, a little human figurine made of rail track ballast (gravel), wire, and newspaper. Aside from the expressive name Friede Traurig, the materials invoke woeful stories of train transports and barbed wire fences, particularly because the newspapers she used are from the Second World War. But for the artist, it's clearly not only about the specific time the Nazis were in power and the Shoah. It's also about the legacies, the inheritance, the stories that we all carry with us. She explains her choice of materials: "For me, wire is a fascinating material. It's also used for cages. So you can use to suggest the ways that we're all captive." The rail track gravel, which normally lies on the ground, relates for Wargon to the ground that we all walk on, as descendants of the people who came before us. "Besides, in both German and English there's the expression 'to sweep something under the rug'". The gravel, or grit, that we bring into the house on the soles of our shoes, and then sweep under the rug, stands for something that we don't want to face and deal with.
Vending Machine Art
Handmade, for our Art Vending Machine
Anyone who walks through the first floor of our permanent exhibition has inevitably stumbled across our 'art vending machine.' The machine almost seems to be whispering, in two languages, "Kauf mich, buy me." Labels gleam colorfully from the compartments but you won't notice more than that at first. If you get curious, though, and come closer, you will read the inscription, "Kunst / Art" in big typeface, and along the vending machine's side, "60 x art by Jewish artists in Berlin." Now you notice the coin slots, where you can put in your 4 euros.
With the right change in your pocket and a little audacity, you can start the experiment. → continue reading

Irish boss Giovanni Trapattoni has again urged Stephen Ireland to make the phone call that can resurrect his international career and revive his World Cup dream early next year.
Trapattoni could even welcome Ireland back in time for the World Cup qualifier against Georgia at Croke Park next February after the player's father Michael claimed he is ready to return.
"Mr. Trapattoni has been following the Stephen Ireland situation and will continue to follow it," said an FAI spokesman.
"His position in relation to Stephen is very clear and has not changed. The door remains open for Stephen to declare himself available for his country.
"If Stephen wishes to do this, all he has to do is make contact through channels he is well aware of."
FAI chief executive John Delaney has also welcomed the prospect of a return for Ireland.
"Any football fan including myself can see that Stephen Ireland is playing great football at the moment and would be an asset to any squad," Delaney told Star Sunday.
Cork-born Ireland walked out on his country after the 2-2 European Championship draw with Slovakia in Bratislava in what became known as Grannygate.
After claiming that two of his grandmothers had died, Ireland eventually revealed that his girlfriend Jessica had suffered a miscarriage after the FAI had paid for a private jet to bring him back to England.
Ireland hasn't played for his country since, repeatedly shunning approaches from first Steve Staunton, then Trapattoni, and his City teammate Richard Dunne.
A week ago the story moved forward again, however, when Ireland's father and the player both claimed that he could return in 2009.
Irish fans welcomed the news as Trapattoni's side look to qualify for the World Cup finals in South Africa in 2010, and the FAI are keen for Ireland to return as well.
Delaney added, "I think it is also fair to say that Trapattoni has met the player, that the channels of communication are there and they are now open to the player to come back.
"As Giovanni has reiterated the lines of communication are open to the player and it is up to the player to say he is in or he is out. "If he says he wants to come back then I am sure everyone will be pleased to have him back."
Trapattoni met with Ireland when he took up the Irish manager's job back in May, and has also watched the player in action for Manchester City against Fulham in recent weeks.
Assistant managers Marco Tardelli and Liam Brady have also monitored Ireland's outstanding form for City this season.
"Giovanni was at the Man City-Fulham game a few weeks ago and he has met him previously as we all know," added Delaney.
"He has kept all channels open to the player. There have been different things said in the media with people asking will he come back or won't he.
"But the only way Stephen can make it clear is to use those channels of communication to speak to the manager. Those communication lines are open now, absolutely."
Ireland himself again admitted to difficulties regarding his international comeback in an English newspaper interview on Saturday.
"So much has gone on behind closed doors that I feel it's almost too difficult for me to go back," said Ireland. "But I've come out a stronger and better person so it's not something that worries me now."
The FAI are aware of Ireland's latest comments, but Delaney has also welcomed his father's confirmation that the player was not bullied when he was part of the international squad.
"I knew that there was no bullying going on and last week's article cleared that up," said the FAI boss.
With the resumption of World Cup duty almost upon us Delaney, Trapattoni and the FAI would like to resolve the Ireland issue as soon as possible.
"It would be nice to have clarity but we are all around football long enough now to know that when this one is solved one way or another there will be another one," claimed Delaney.
"From Giovanni's perspective I am sure he would like to have clarity on it, as would the football public."
McGeady Still Out
Irish winger Aiden McGeady could take his dispute with Celtic boss Gordon Strachan all the way to the Scottish Football Association (SFA).
McGeady, banned for two weeks and heavily fined after a dressingroom bust-up, was left out of Sunday's 3-0 win over Falkirk by the Scottish League leaders.
He will also sit out the forthcoming Old Firm showdown with Rangers, but McGeady has appealed the ban and could take his case to the SFA if the Celtic board backs Strachan's call.
Agent David Holbrook said, "As we stand at the moment, Aiden is waiting on a letter to explain the disciplinary measures taken against him.
"He has five days from receipt of the letter to appeal and he intends to do so, that has not changed. He has been fined two weeks' wages and excluded from training with the first team for two weeks.
"That takes him up to December 30. After that he will return to training with the first team and be available for the next match.
"There is every possibility that Aiden will be playing for Celtic while the appeal procedure is going through. Beyond that all I can say is that it is in an internal matter.

The Magic School Bus and the Electric Field Trip
by Joanna Cole
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The genre of The Magic School Bus and the Electric Field Trip is informational.
This books author explores the scientific concept of electricity and helps define terms within the text. Like the Ms. Frizzle and her class are off on another adventure but this time they are going to a power plant. This book allows the students to become apart of the process of how electricity is created. The book also takes a look at home appliances that the students would have apart of their everyday life. The book ends with a review of what they have done at the power plant.
I really enjoyed this book because of the writing, the illustrations, and the plot. I really like the way the book is written and how it is in kid friendly language that most third graders and above would understand, but still contains tons of scientific facts and information. The author explains different science concepts on the pages and defines key words in the text. For example, in the dialogue, Miss Frizzle tells the class about electric currents, and then the word is further defined on one of hers student's papers on the side of the page with the definition and an example of the word being used. Then, the illustrations come in handy by providing further explanations of the science concepts discussed in the text. In addition, I really like how the illustrations have a bunch of extra text features that make reading the book more fun, like quote boxes from the characters, extra notes of information on the chalkboard, and activities of information that the students in the book did. This adds many more things to read and spices up the book with added information for children to learn. The text contains mainly dialogue while the pictures and illustrations have a lot of scientific facts and information. For example, many of the pages have papers from Miss Frizzle's students that define key terms used in the text to provide a better understanding of the electricity concepts, and there are boxes that show step by step examples of the concepts the class is learning about like how electricity flows to people's houses. The pictures also contain safety tips, labeled diagrams, and 'how to' boxes to give even more information about electricity. Lastly, I like the plot and the perspective the characters give to the readers as they adventure into a power plant to show readers what it is all about. By having the characters be the ones learning about electricity, it gives readers the chance to identify with and relate to the fictional characters as they are learning about electricity. The plot also allows readers to see the different aspects of an electrical plant by following the characters as they explore the plant in a fictional yet informational way. For example, Miss Frizzle takes her class to an electrical power plant and they go inside the components of it to show readers all the different aspects of it. The main idea of the story is about electricity and how it flows through electric currents to provide power for different appliances.
This book is about Ms. Frizzle's class who are at school one day and the power goes out due to a storm. The class then goes on the bus and takes an adventure learning about different ways power is made. This book is good in any elementary classroom to teach children what powers the things they use every day. The reading level for this book though is grades 2-4.

This book is good in any elementary classroom to teach children what powers the things they use every day. The reading level for this book though is grades 2-4.
Ms. Frizzle drags her class on another wild and educational adventure, this time through wires and currents and power plants. Her students learn all about electricity. The school bus transforms itself into a dump truck, which clothes the students in heat-proof suits and dumps them in a furnace of a power plant. They observe the fuel that creates steam, and follow the steam as it powers an enormous turbine and generator. They leave the power plant through a power line, and jump into various buildings to see how electricity powers machines like vacuum cleaners and lights. This book has a nice touch at the end: a board game that helps readers discern between the factual and fictional details in the book.
The subject matter of this book in the series is more complex, but the author and illustrator do an admirable job of simplifying the subject as much as possible. As with other books in the series, extra information on the topic is collected in school papers (supposedly written by the students) and notes on the sides of the pages, and the illustrations are both comical and crammed with details that illuminate the subject. Be prepared to discuss the difference between the factual scientific information and the fantasy elements, but the fanciful framework is an inviting premise to capture a young reader's interest. Still, this particular Magic School Bus book is an advanced read because of the intricate subject matter, and will be better appreciated by older children, as opposed to the dinosaur book which has a broad appeal. If a parent or teacher is looking for a child-friendly way to teach about electricity, though, this book is suited to the purpose better than any other I know.

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Scholastic is re-releasing the ten original Magic School Bus titles in paperback. With updated scientific information, the bestselling science series ever is back!
Small enough to squeeze through power lines, Ms. Frizzle's class learns how electric current travels through the town, lights up a light bulb, heats up a toaster, and runs an electric motor. Fans of the Magic School Bus won't be left behind by this simple and informative introduction to the generation and distribution of electricity.

Ms. Frizzle takes her class on a field trip through the town's electrical wires so they can learn how electricity is generated and how it is used.

"RE: D600 or D800 Body?"
In the US the D800 is about 3K and the D600 about 2.1K$. The D800 is 43% higher if my math is correct. I would think long and hard about the extra $900. However if sync speed or max shutter speeds are deal breakers for you the D800 wins.Is the D800 worth 43% more than the D600? I think for most shooters especially non pro's the answer is no, but you have to answer this yourself.I also prefer a smaller camera. The D600 is 850 grams and the D800 1000 grams.I also prefer 2 SD slots.

My husband fell ill in May and ended up in the hospital. Acting on his Doctor's advice, upon his release from the hospital I had to cancel the trip. Unfortunately, when I informed Orbitz and AccessAmerica and filed a claim to be reimbursed, they sent me a .pdf file of my policy #125913196 that included the policy's limitations and exclusions. In section 2 on page 6 of the policy it is stated that Trip Cancellation applies when 'A family Member who isn't traveling with you is seriously ill or injured. Specific requirement-the injury, illness, or medical condition must be considered life threatening, require hospitalization, or he or she must require your care." (Section 2) It turns out, however, that there is also an exclusion clause on page 17 whenever the illness is related to mental health, specifically "a mental or nervous health disorder (like anxiety, depression, neurosis, psychosis and others)." They are refusing reimbursement for this reason even though it is also clearly states under the General Exclusions heading that "You aren't covered for any loss that results directly from any of the following general exclusions, unless they're included in section 2". Due to the fact that my husband's illness was life threatening, did require hospitalization, and he continues to require my care, I am contesting this denial. I am also contesting the fact that travel insurance providers like AccessAmerica and MondialAssistance are able to maintain such exclusions in their policies. I feel strongly that this type of exclusion is discriminatory in nature and should not be allowed or tolerated.

Mold in a Building You Rent or Lease
(Page 2 of 2 of Toxic Mold: Who To Sue )
Under the landlord-tenant laws of most states, landlords are subject to a legal doctrine called the "implied warranty of habitability," which makes the landlord responsible for keeping the rental property free of health hazards such as a mold infestation.
Because the implied warranty of habitability is an obligation imposed by state law -- whether the landlord likes it or not -- it overrides any language in your lease that is inconsistent with that responsibility. So be skeptical and persistent if your landlord denies responsibility for a mold infestation under the terms of your lease.
If your landlord is dragging his or her feet, you may be able to get action by contacting your local housing authority. If you are seeking compensation for an injury or damage to your personal property, however, you will likely need to take legal action. (To learn more about mold in rentals, read Nolo's article Mold in Rentals: Landlord Liability, Responsibility, and Prevention.)
Mold at Your Place of Work
If you have developed health problems because of a mold infestation at your place of work, you may be able to file a workers' compensation claim. Whether workers' compensation will cover your injuries -- and preclude you from taking your employer to court -- is an evolving area of the law and will depend on the particular circumstances of your case. (To learn more about worker's compensation, read Nolo's article Your Right to Worker's Comp Benefits FAQ.)
Mold at Your Child's School or Other Community Building
If you or your child has developed health problems because of a mold infestation in a school or other community building, the liability of the school or other responsible party raises a host of legal issues, especially if it is a public school or other government-run institution.
You may be able to get action by contacting the school administration, the local school board, or the local health department. To get compensation for you or your child's injuries, however, you may have to pursue a legal claim.
If you are dealing with a government agency, you may have to file an administrative claim before you can go to court. The administrative claim process varies from one government agency to another. Depending on the size and seriousness of your claim, you may benefit from the advice and assistance of a lawyer.
Learn About Mold and the Law
Before you jump into a lawsuit, do some research about the health risks associated with mold. Because the scientific explanations of mold are both complex and technical, numerous misconceptions have crept into the popular perception of toxic mold and its dangers. As a general matter, there is no federal "mold law." The specific laws that apply to your claim will depend on the particular state law governing your case. (To learn more about what we do and don't know about mold, read Nolo's articles Toxic Mold Basics and Health Risks of Mold Exposure .)
Getting Help
Because the science behind mold can be complex and proving a link between health problems and mold exposure may be difficult, you may want to consult a lawyer who is experienced in mold cases.
For help in choosing an appropriate attorney, read Nolo's article Finding a Personal Injury Lawyer.Or, go straight to Nolo's Lawyer Directory for a list of personal injury attorneys in your geographical area (click the "Types of Cases" and "Work History" tabs to find out about the lawyer's experience, if any, with mold cases).

After working together for the MTV Video Music Awards in 2010, Nicki Minaj and dance choreographer/creative director Laurieann Gibson are collaborating again. And as you might have guessed, it's for the Young Money rapper-singer's performance during the Grammy Awards on Sunday night. It'll definitely be interesting to see what they come up, especially because it'll be the first time we hear her new single, "Roman Holiday."

A 360 degree panorama of the view from the Lincoln Gettysburg Address Memorial
Shows the Devil's Den from the west side of the rock outcropping and shows Little Round Top.
360-panorama from the top of the rock outcropping. The views include the summit and Little Round Top.

View of Baltimore Street from north to south from A Sentimental Journey B&B's Porch
Baltimore Street by the A Sentimental Journey B&B
Near The Wheatfield on Ayres Avenue's far southeast loop there is a view of the "Valley of Death," as it was named after the battle. Both Round Tops are in the background.
On 2 Jul 1863, Little Round Top was the key point in the Union Army's defensive line, overlooking The Slaughter Pen, Devil's Den, Houck's Ridge and The Valley of Death. With its views of the battlefield, it is easy to see why the position was so important.
The Battle of Gettysburg began around 8 AM on 1 Jul 1863 on McPherson Farm. There are now several statues and memorials at this site where Meredith Avenue intersects the Chambersburg Pike. The day I was there, 2 May 2008, the adjacent fields were awash in blooming yellow wildflowers, making a spectacular backdrop for this historical site.
East Cemetery Hill is across the street from the Baltimore Pike entrance to the Soldiers' National Cemetery. There are many monuments commemorating the battle there at the end of the day on 2 Jul 1863. There are some nice views at the top of the hill and one can see why it was a strategic position.
I got up early and walked to the Soldiers National Cemetery before the crowds arrived. It was quiet except for the birds. The monument is where President Abraham Lincoln gave his famous Gettysburg Address.

THOMPSON - A 22-month-old boy pulled unconscious from a pool at a bungalow colony on Cold Spring Road last week died Tuesday night at Westchester Medical Center, the Sullivan County's Sheriff's Office said.
Zev Glick began drowning after he and his 3-year-old brother managed to get into the closed pool at the Wellsprings colony around 12:20 p.m. on Saturday. The brother ran for help and the boy's father and another man pried open a locked gate to the pool and pulled the boy from the water, police said.
Glick was initially breathing and coughing up water after being revived, but then went into cardiac arrest. He was taken to Catskill Regional Medical Center by Hatzolah paramedics and then flown to Westchester.

An LLM would not guarantee you entry i Ghana School of Law(GSL) You would need to have an LLB with some fixed subject requirements,pass an entry exam and an oral interview to enter....A four year project in all ...All the best...check it out http://www.gslaw.edu.gh/index.phpDelete
Hello, can you please tell me the areas of law which will be examined for the entry exams? if one has to take the specific modules needed, how long will that take before sitting for the exams. I will apply in 2013, however, company law will be the only module out of the required modules I would have taken, obviously notwithstanding the substantive module ie contract, criminal, tort, land , equity et al . Cheers. Currently in my 3rd year second semester in London.Delete

(2)is BBP one of the institutions recognised by the general legal Council?
I did read the requirements on the makola site and one is expected to possess an LLB from an institution RECOGNISED by the legal council. what do they mean by recognised? please help me as i can not afford to pay for the bar course here in the uk after my GDL. could email me on;firstname.lastname@example.com
Dear Anon,Delete
If you can tell me the specific subjects you would have studied in law by the time you acquire the LLB, I would be able to answer Q1 better.
As to Q2, I think so, but I advise you ask somebody at the Ghana School of Law directly. I could try getting the number for you.

There are two ways of getting an LLB in Ghana, either straight to the university with your WASCE certificate or with a Bachelor's degree in ANY FIELD with a minimum of 2nd class lower. After your LLB, you write an entrance exams and go for an oral interview for admissions into the Ghana School of Law. Upon completing you receive a BL which will enable you practice in Ghana. You can continue to your LLM after your LLB without going to GLS but for you to practice in Ghana you need a BL and only GLS can give it. So to answer your question a degree in any field (be it theater arts, music, religious studies, sculpture etc) can fetch you admissions for an LLB, you just have to pass an entrance exam and a selection interview. You can equally gain LLB with your WASSCE certificates.ReplyDelete
