Is Matt Damon right about teacher tenure?Posted Wednesday, August 3, 2011, at 11:07 AM
You may have read this headline and thought, "Why in the world is an actor talking about teacher tenure?" Well, the answer is quite simple, really: His mother asked him to. More specifically, she asked him to speak at the "Save Our Schools March." I'll include a link to that speech and a portion of it below, but first I want to address an interview at the event that is making headlines.
As you see, the journalist implies "job insecurity" is what makes Damon work hard as an actor and teachers should have the same job insecurity. He refutes that, saying that he acts because he loves to act and the same is true for most teachers. After all, why would they take relatively low pay and long hours if they didn't love what they were doing?
I find this argument particularly intriguing, considering what the state of Iowa is going through right now. If you missed my story on Gov. Terry Branstad's visit here to talk about education, click here.
I want to draw attention to Steve Bomgaars comments about using professional development to bring out teachers' passion, which may wane over the years. The governor and his staff paid particular attention to these comments. Considering this, maybe Damon has a point.
"My teachers were EMPOWERED to teach me," he said in his speech. "Their time wasn't taken up with a bunch of test prep -- this silly drill and kill nonsense that any serious person knows doesn't promote real learning. No, my teachers were free to approach me and every other kid in that classroom like an individual puzzle. They took so much care in figuring out who we were and how to best make the lessons resonate with each of us. They were empowered to unlock our potential. They were allowed to be teachers."
What a concept!? Teachers trying to appeal to each student's individual needs. It's hard to do that when they're busy "teaching to a test." I specifically remember the teachers who approached each students individually and which ones "taught to the test." Guess which ones had a greater impact on my life? The former, not the latter, for sure.
Damon went so far as to speak out against standardized tests altogether, referencing his mother's firm words with a principal over her son being required to take a test.
"I don't know where I would be today if my teachers' job security was based on how I performed on some standardized test," Damon continued. "If their very survival as teachers was based on whether I actually fell in love with the process of learning but rather if I could fill in the right bubble on a test. If they had to spend most of their time desperately drilling us and less time encouraging creativity and original ideas; less time knowing who we were, seeing our strengths and helping us realize our talents."
Damon concluded his speech with a word of encouragement for teachers everywhere.
"So the next time you're feeling down, or exhausted, or unappreciated, or at the end of your rope; the next time you turn on the TV and see yourself called 'overpaid;' the next time you encounter some simple-minded, punitive policy that's been driven into your life by some corporate reformer who has literally never taught anyone anything. ... Please know that there are millions of us behind you. You have an army of regular people standing right behind you, and our appreciation for what you do is so deeply felt. We love you, we thank you and we will always have your back."
So, what do you think?

I've been getting a lot of feedback about this topic on my facebook page. In hopes of sparking the conversation here, I'll share some of the comments:
"I find that in the tenure process teachers show their stuff! However, in my experience, teachers that become tenure have become lazy and focus on their studies more than their students. The tenure process I think is good in terms of stability and job security, but it should be challenged every so often so students' education isn't at risk. Our job as teachers is to teach with passion, fervor, and with every fiber of their being."-Travis Zinnel
My friend Rusty Russell pointed out that teachers don't get to pick their students and only has them for one year at a time. Therefore, they should not be judged strictly on test scores. However, he believes, "Doing your job well for a few years should not result in job security for the rest of your career." He also talked about the fear of losing one's job as motivation.
Teacher Lisa Farmer said teacher competition can be a bad thing. "That doesn't make a school full of qualified teachers a team. Instead it leads to resentment and a building full of people who come to work to try to outperform everyone else instead of a building of teachers who come to a school to work together for the benefit of the kids."
"Fear of firing should should increase professional competition and harder work," Jason Gray said, adding an example. "My wife's principal just recently advocated a NEW grading program where a zero for not turning in homework was not very good for "morale." So he wants to make it all a 50/100 instead so their grades don't suffer so much. If you don't work, you get zero dollars not fifty."
That's not everything that's been said, but I don't want to bombard the whole comment section with just what my friends have been saying. I'd like to know what y'all think!

The question of low church orthodoxy. - Printable Version

The question of low church orthodoxy. - Danno - 20-04-2009
I am currently a practicing Anglican and am most definately of the low church variety. However, having visited an Orthodox church and having read Orthodox theology I am convinced that it too has some low church qualities. Most notably, Orthodoxy appears to focus upon scripture as a source of faith and diverges from the Catholic tradition of the cult of the Virgin Mary. I am proud of my Protestant heritage but am afraid for the future of Christianity here in Britain, given the sweeping liberalisation that the Church of England is currently under-going. Therefore, I have considered convertion to Orthodoxy, which appears more resolute against the assaults of the modern world.
But I have some reservations. I do not want to abandon my low church heritage and I still want to feel at home in my local Anglican Church. So, is there anyone with any deep understanding of Orthodox practice and theology that could allay my fears or make any other helpful suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel Hayes.

Dear Daniel,
Christ is risen!
Welcome to this forum, and I hope it will be a blessing to you.
You are right that what I would call evangelicalism - since I grew up an evangelical and trained for evangelical ministry - resonates with some aspects of Orthodoxy. And since I believe that Orthodoxy is - at its best - the fulness of the Christian life, or rather of life in Christ - it is to be expected, and a matter of thanksgiving, that wherever there are those who love the name of Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, there are echoes of Orthodoxy.
One of the aims of the British Orthodox Forum and Fellowship is to help people in your situation learn about and experience more of Orthodoxy without having to abandon everything that is familiar. We do believe that it is possible to become more Orthodox, and that in a real sense that is what all of us are doing, including, and especially, those of us who are formally Orthodox.
There is a great deal that we believe you would benefit from both personally and spiritually within the Orthodoxy that we seek it live out. I hope that you will feel comfortable enough to fellowship with us and see what resonates most with you at this stage in your Christian pilgrimage.
But...I cannot promise that you will always feel comfortable in your present Anglican Church. There will surely be times when what we want to share conflicts with what you have learned and experienced there, and you will have to face that, in prayer and with humility, as we seek to share our lives and experiences in prayer and with humility.
Back to your post. I am just starting a book called Jesus and the Eyewitnesses. It is by an evangelical scholar and I will enjoy reading about Christ and about the Gospels. There are many positive connections between evangelicalism and Orthodoxy. If our life is not about Christ then there is no point to it. We begin and end our spiritual lives in Christ.
Do bear with us, and let us see how we can provoke and inspire one another to greater love of Christ, our one Lord.
God bless your searching
Father Peter
- Danno - 20-04-2009
Thank you very much Father.
I do believe the Christian path is leaning me towards Orthodoxy. However, I value patience and caution, so will discover my way fully, with the help of the British Orthodox Fellowship.
Thank you again.
- admin - 20-04-2009
Dear Daniel
It is always wisest to take small steps and build on them. We are convinced that even if you never choose to become formally Orthodox there is much of great spiritual value which in Orthodoxy which you will be able to draw on.
Best wishes
Father Peter

The following letter is published in the 1-9-07 Tomahawk Leader:
To the Editor,
I am writing this letter about a very controversial subject. It is in regard to the smoking at Bingo at SARA Park. There should be no smoking at all in any public buildings. Shame on the leaders of our city for not passing and enforcing the no-smoking ordinance.
We all know the effects of secondhand smoke and it's killing us all. Some say it will hurt the Harley weekend. I don't think so. There are thousands of Harley people that would welcome clean air to breathe.
It would be such an easy thing to fix. Play five games of Bingo, take a five minute smoke break, five more games, five minute break, etc. No 15 minute intermission.
The food that is sold is right next to smoking section, so gets contaminated also.
I hope you will do the right thing and get it corrected before regular Bingo starts in May.
Thank you for printing this.
Virginia Hopseker
Clearwater, Fla.

A preliminary state report concludes that hydraulic fracturing poses no threat to public health if done with proper safeguards.
News of the report, which was revealed Thursday, has reignited controversy over the natural gas recovery method known as "fracking."
The state Department of Environmental Conservation says the report is more than a year old and does not give an indication of whether the state ultimately will approve fracking in New York State.
But environmentalists, already bothered by the state's secrecy surrounding its four-year study of the issue, are concerned that it indicates the administration of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo will be giving a green light to the controversial process, which has led to a gas industry boom along with health concerns in other states.
The DEC says no conclusions should be drawn from the "partial, outdated summary" issued by the Department of Health last February.
"The document is nearly a year old and does not reflect final DEC policy," said department spokeswoman Emily DeSantis. "The final [supplemental generic environmental impact statement] will reflect the review currently under way by DOH and its outside experts. Once complete, DOH's review will be shared as part of the overall ... process."
Still, the report's release adds yet another layer of controversy to the brouhaha over fracking as Cuomo and his top health and environmental officials continue to draw fire over delays and secrecy surrounding their drawn-out study.
It all surrounds reporting on the study by the New York Times, National Public Radio's Albany bureau and other news organizations Thursday. The draft state report, now posted on the NPR-Albany website, outlines the Health Department's February conclusion that fracking can be implemented in New York State without a significant threat to public health.
"By implementing the proposed mitigation measures identified and required in this [report,] the department expects that human chemical exposures during normal [fracking] operations will be prevented or reduced below levels of significant health concern," the draft study said. "Thus significant adverse impacts on human health are not expected."
If final studies support the state's initial conclusions, the result could pave the way for Albany's approval of fracking in New York, which has been under way in neighboring states for years.
But while fracking advocates want New York to emulate states like Pennsylvania, with its explosion of fracking-related jobs, environmentalists are still raising questions about the procedure's impact on health and nearby ecosystems.
In fracking, vast amounts of sand and chemically treated water are injected under intense pressure into layers of shale thousands of feet underground. While concerns continue to be voiced over potential effects on the environment – particularly on the New York City watershed – fracking champions say the Marcellus Shale repository extending throughout the Southern Tier could someday produce a gas drilling bonanza.
Brad Gill, executive director of the Hamburg-based Independent Oil and Gas Association of New York, predicted Thursday that the state eventually will approve fracking in a way to protect health and the environment.
"Environmental regulations, developed and applied appropriately, protect the environment, including human health. Our members have said this, and other states are proving it today," Gill said. "And all ongoing environmental reviews, including New York's health assessment, will make similar conclusions.
"We expect the administration will put an end to the continued stops and starts and allow our members, as well as Southern Tier landowners and businesses, to begin reaping the considerable benefits that expanded natural gas development will provide," he added.
But watchdog groups like Environmental Advocates of New York continue to not only criticize fracking, but also the state's approach to granting or denying approval. Katherine Nadeau, water and natural resources program director for Environmental Advocates, said the secrecy surrounding the process is unacceptable.
"He has not shared anything," she said of Cuomo. "The administration's entire attitude is 'trust us.'
"We're sure more has been done since this draft, but we have no idea what," she added. "It's a mockery of good government and leaves the public in the dark."
Nadeau said the Cuomo administration so far has held no public hearings or sought public input as it conducts a fracking review in "utter secrecy."
"That's not the way to guarantee public safety and health," she added. "And they have not done the assessments needed after four years. The administration has not done its job."
She also said that the state should not approve any fracking based on the scope and findings of the draft report, adding she hopes a final decision will be based on additional findings.

I purchased the Tusting Briefbag from Levenger and this is a nice compliment to that bag. It is easy to carry and I use it when I need just a few items on an appointment. I added the monogram which is a nice feature and reasonably priced. I was amazed at how fast it arrived with the personalization. This great little item holds just the right amount of tools too. Circa notebook, ipad, a few other folders fit nicely into this rich leather folio.

I rec'd my purchase last week and was very excited until I tried to open it. The zipper was difficult to open and it took me several hours to get it closed again. Having had it monogrammed, it can't be returned. I was looking for a nice gift to give to my clients who use my agency, but I will have to look for another high end gift for my travelers. As for me, I'll now have to find a leather shop to help solve my problems if possible.

The smallest briefolio
By EEO
from Utah
Comments about Levenger Essential Briefolio®:
I got this for running around between meetings when I just need a notebook, my planner, phone, and maybe a few files. This does the job. The leather isn't the best quality -I can see why some say it seems like plastic. I have a black one. The zipper hasn't given me any trouble and I used this to hold a massive collection of documents for a project for a year. The leather does wear poorly. Where the internal levenger tag is, the corners caused the outside to rub and revealed a very light (seemed white) color under the black before I had owned this a year. Shoe polish helps a bit, but I wasn't expecting that kind of wear issue. I also own a bomber jacket briefolio (the big one with the divider). In comparison, the leather on it is much softer (floppies if not full, but seems nicer to the touch compared to this one). That one is essentially a small briefcase without a handle I don't use it as much because I just use my actual briefcase. I'm thinking that the Tusting briefolio may be my perfect in-between size since I do miss a key clip and small pocket for ink cartridges and such on this one, but having purchased two of these from Levenger, I'm holding off for a while before investing in a third.

Very disappointed
By Charlie
from Havre de Grace, MD
This is the first item that I am very disappointed with. And I have bought a lot from you over the years. This product is so flimsy and the leather looks like plastic. And the way the zipper does not work smoothly is nothing to rave about either. I expected only the best, and I did not get it this time.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

High Quality Briefolio
By Kansan
from Leawood, KS
This product fills a need for me when I want something more than a folio but less than a briefcase. I find this to be made of high quality materials. The leather is nice and the zipper substantial.
Exactly what I Needed!
By jmbennett
from Houston, TX
I have been looking for a quality, handsome folio for some time. Not to carry a laptop in, but something to keep my documents orderly.
Excellent Purchase
By crz87
from CT
I was looking for something to bring home files and notebooks without having to lug home my entire laptop bag. This is everything I wanted, excellent quality and even with the initials it arrived within the week. Very pleased with this website and their products, already have a few more items on the way. Just wish I knew if there was something to polish /clean the bag with or if I even should?
Serves well
By Pgadgt
from Washington, DC
Ordered with initials and hoped for the best after reading reviews. All reports about sticky zippers are true. But, I put some oil on the zipper, which helped and now the Briefolio serves its advertised purpose. After 6 weeks zipper and tab are still on. So far, it's a good value and I like it.
By Krito
from Illinois
I needed a folio that was large, durable, and satisfied my sense of aesthetics, and the Essential Briefolio is perfect. I carry a lot of loose sheet notes, and notebooks, for an ongoing manuscript, and wanted something stylish but functional. The large size fits all my papers, the heavy duty zipper is essential for stuffing the bag, and the leather quality is smooth without being too soft and flexible when being thrown hither and thither. Buy it, use it, abuse it. It's just what I wanted.

First purchase
By OldYuppy
from Texas
This was my first purchase from Levenger. While the quality is not so bad that I will return it, I was nonetheless disappointed. The zipper is very sticky and I think that I might throw it in the trash one day in frustration. Maybe it will loosen up, hopefully. Also the leather feels cheap and not soft at all. As a leather accessory addict, I will keep it but have bought much nicer goods from Leather and Luggage

It's worked from the bottom up with decreases, and adorned with six-pointed flowers that are knit separately and attached to the yoke at the end. Infinity Shawl: Create a rectangular shawl with armholes. Deceptively simple motifs are knit in rows, and assembled separately into infinity symbols. The matching lace border is picked up right onto the motifs and knit outward to create a scalloped edge. Tiered Jasmine Shawl: A top-down, triangular shawl with eyelet sections for picking up and knitting ruffled tiers. Each tier finishes with delicate flower-petal picots.
Meet popular knit and crochet designer Kristin Omdahl, who will teach you to knit beautiful yet simple shawl designs.
Kristin named the Jasmine shawl for its petal-shaped bind-off. This top-down, triangular shawl is worked with eyelet rows and a ruffle edging.
Create the dimensional tiers on the Jasmine shawl by picking up and knitting into the original fabric.
The cape-style Gardenia shawl closes at the neck with a button or ribbon. The six-petaled gardenia design that decorates this shawl is worked in rows, not rounds, then joined with a three-needle bind-off.
Short-row shaping on a knit cast-on creates a belled or scalloped edge. The arrow lace pattern is worked in an eight-row repeat.
Put the pieces of the Gardenia shawl together with a collar at the top of the yoke, a button closure and attached gardenia flowers.
We get started on the Infinity shawl, a rectangular wrap with armholes that features some of Kristin's favorite techniques. Start by making motifs in the Infinity design -- they look difficult but are worked with simple increases and decreases.
Now assemble the Infinity motifs with steam blocking, sewing and pinning to turn your S-shaped motifs into their final shape.
Move on to the Infinity shawl itself. Pick up and knit into the assembled Infinity motifs to create this beautiful and unique shawl with a scalloped lace edging.
The Infinity shawl pattern can be modified to make a capelet style or a regular wrap without the armholes.
Kristin shows innovative ways to wear your shawls to show off their unique shapes and delicate motifs and edgings. Turn your Infinity shawl into a keyhole scarf or create a shrug with your Jasmine shawl and a hair clip!
"I thought this course was great, even though I've made several shawls, already. I learned some new techniques and got a good review of the things I had been practicing on other shawls. "

Spaghetti alla Chitarra with Meatballs
Who has never seen the scene from the Disney movie "Ladie and the Tramp" with the spaghetti and meatballs dish that made sparkle the love between the two dogs?
Well, i always wanted to prepare that dish, also because when I was a child my requests for it were always vetoed by my tuscan father who was horrified at the tought to use that sauce on spaghetti.
But in the end one has to fullfill his childish whishes and so I searched again and again until I found this recipe from Abruzzi that isn't banal at all, actually it's really tasty, and finally gives some dignity to this mistreated dish.
Ingredients for approximately 4 persons: 1 lb. fresh spaghetti alla chitarra, ½ lb. ground beef, ½ lb. ground pork, 1 egg, ⅓ lb. stale bread, 2 tablespoons of grated pecorino cheese, 1 tablespoons of raisins, 1 tablespoons of pinenuts, 2½ cups of peeled tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of parsley, some basil leaves, 1 garlic clove, 1 onion, milk, salt, pepper.
Preparation: prepare a sauce with the tomatoes, minced onion, basil and some salt and pepper and put it on a low heat until it condensed a bit. Soften then the stale bread using some milk and put the raisins into lukewarm water. Put into a bowl meat, bread, raisins, pinenuts, pecorino cheese, egg, parsley and the garlic (previously minced) and some pinches of salt. Knead the dough with the hands until it is well mixed up, then shape some balls from it and put them to fry in copious boiling oil. Put the balls into the sauce and let them cook together on a low heat for a couple of minutes so to flavour them. Cook the spaghetti in some stock, strain them and put them in a pan with sauce and the meatballs and cook all on a low heat for another couple of minutes.

True Peter, they were absolutely amazing.

Anche io, per quello ho voluto trovare una ricetta per farli degnamente.
@ Chiara.u
Ma anche sotto i 10, se fai magari le polpette un po' più piccole, secondo me ti spazzano via tutto.

Interesting... anyone want to buy a 400 mm f/2.8 L IS?
I hope the built in tc is very durable , and that you can use it many thousands of times before it wears ...
? NDA clause perhaps.
It's probably more durable that the lens mount after attaching and removing a TC / camera many thouands of times. The lens mount on most large tele's take quite a pounding over time. This new built in TC should reduce that massively...and let less dust / sand inside too.

|MMYC Services
Welcome to LAYC's Maryland branch, the Maryland Multicultural Youth Centers (MMYC). Here you will find information about LAYC/MMYC's programs in Montgomery and Prince George's Counties. LAYC's mission is to empower a diverse population of youth to achieve a successful transition to adulthood, through multi-cultural, comprehensive and innovative programs that address youths' social, academic, and career needs. Our commitment to results-based programming that meets youth where they are, are the pillars that guide the work in Maryland.
Several years ago, as more of LAYC's youth, families and staff began moving to the Maryland suburbs and these inner suburbs began to experience a steep increase in the immigrant population, LAYC began the process of expanding services to these areas. In the summer of 2005, LAYC offered its first program in Maryland as MMYC. Since then, LAYC/MMYC has grown to serving over 1,300 youth per year through four sites in Montgomery and Prince George's Counties (Silver Spring, Germantown, Langley Park and Riverdale). MMYC staff sit on boards, participate on task forces and community dialogues, and support community events. We are proud to be part of the fabric of these communities in Maryland, partnering with schools, county government agencies, other community-based groups, faith-based groups, and colleges and universities.
Our team of 40 staff and 25 AmeriCorps members provide daily support to youth in the form of afterschool and summer programs, pre-GED and GED classes, computer training, college preparation programs, job readiness training, job and internship placements, gang prevention, arts, recreation, case management, counseling, and advocacy. But beyond the programs themselves, our staff form relationships with youth; youth who may be living in unsafe environments, abusing substances, experiencing mental health difficulties, are involved with the criminal justice systems or gangs, unemployed, dealing with challenging family situations, no longer in or about to drop out of school. These staff-youth relationships, combined with proven programs, result in the positive outcomes we see: graduation, enrollment in post-secondary education, employment, career decisions, stable housing, skills to lead healthy and happy lives, and the ability to play productive roles in their communities.

I feel like pierre doesnt necessarily know hockey that well, he just knows a lot of hockey facts. every game i watch i want to break my tv because he always tries to play 6 degrees of kevin bacon hockey edition. what i mean by that is he always tries to show off that he knows which players played for which junior team and had some random coach that no one cares about. hes like the worst example of a name dropper.
yet i feel like his actual analysis is often not that great. he often tries to lead edzo into additional analysis by proposing theories but i find they usually are off the mark.
in my opinion he is an example of someone that is book smart about hockey but not street smart about the actual game.
regarding murph, i hate to see him go. a couple years ago he got a decent amount of time on the nhl network wrap up show at night. i felt he was very solid on there. (certainly better than that tool jamie mclennan they have now!) i also hope this does not mean an increased role for darren eliot as i feel he is TERRIBLE with a capital T. i do not like him at all and will actually mute the tv or turn the channel when he is on.
I'll miss Larry "Dollar Hot Dog WOO THE FRIES Miller Lites" Murphy.
No I don't want Pierre's dumb ass on FSN D. I'd rather have Malts or Drapes.

"I played every minute to win this game, and to have my body fail me is utterly demoralizing." – Russell Swan, Survivor: Samoa
Survivor's back, and the big news this season is that three previously medevacced contestants are returning to the game for another shot at the million bucks. Mike Skupin from Australia, Russell Swan from Samoa, and Jonathan Penner from Cook Islands and Micronesia are back as team captains for three separate tribes. These guys couldn't even take care of themselves – now they're supposed to provide for five other people?
I'm actually excited to see Skupin, Swan and Penner play again. All three were charismatic players who were doing well in the game when they were pulled. It's interesting that each of them was struck down by a different element. Skupin fell in the fire. Swan lacked water. Penner was lanced by wood.
So the big question this season is – who will be carried off by a tornado?
Man on Fire
The contestant I'm most excited about is Skupin. More than any other player in the show's history, Skupin was the kind of guy you really could just drop off in the wilderness for a month. His wild boar hunt in Australia – and then his evacuation – were a testament to just how real the game can be. I stopped watching the show for years after Mike was pulled. The other contestants just seemed watered down in comparison.
It's fascinating to see video of his medevac now, 23 seasons later. Compared to the high-gloss, well-framed shots of today's Survivor, the footage looks almost documentary. Skupin really does come from a different era, when being a leader and a provider and a good human were considered valuable qualities. In a post-Russell, post-Na Onka world, he could have a hard time.
Surviving with the Stars
This season's cast also features Facts of Life alumna Lisa Whelchel and baseball MVP Jeff Kent. I guess they got tired of waiting for Celebrity Apprentice to call?
I don't have a strong opinion about pseudo-celebrity Survivors. If they drive more audience tune-in, then that's great. The danger is that, like Jimmy Johnson in Nicaragua, they'll be more concerned with their public image than their place in the game.
Pre-Season Fishy
Incredibly, among the returning players and Z-list celebrities, there are a few ordinary people on this season, too. My favorite new contestant is Denise, the sex therapist from Iowa.
Usually Survivor fills the "older lady" slot with a benignant mom (think Holly) or a loopy Southern rancher (think Jane). Denise is one of the rare older women who seems like a genuine strategist. She's quick-witted and, as a triathlete, physically competitive. Her background as a sex therapist could help her forge intimate bonds.
Watch her video and you can see that her mind's moving so fast, her mouth can barely keep up. The game hasn't started, and she's already running mental laps around the season's chiseled troglodytes.
Honorable Mentions
There's two characters I always root for – the Ivy League intellectual and the slack-jawed yokel. So I'm excited about Malcolm and Zane. Malcolm gets kudos for patterning his gameplay off Survivor übermensch Brian Heidik. "I like that borderline sociopathic style of play," he says.
Zane, for his part, has the country charm and work ethic of a latter-day JT. I wonder, though, if he's as much of a social chameleon as JT was.
And how can I not like the season's New York Jew, RC? She's apparently a strong swimmer – which could be invaluable now that they're (finally!) bringing back water challenges.
Who are your favorites? Who do you think has what it takes to win? Tell us in the comments below!

The magical jade green waters of the Verzasca river flow peacefully over smooth polished rocks, passing under the picturesque double arches of the Ponte dei Salti in Lavertezzo. Follow the river down the valley and you will find wonderful worn rock shapes and natural jacuzzis, and the trail to Brione is home to 17 works of art. Don't resist it - jump in! You will be hard pressed to find a more romantically beautiful place to do so. Are you looking for the ultimate adrenalin rush? Then look no further! The Verzasca dam on the Lago di Vogorno at the entrance to the valley is where James Bond once jumped 220m attached to no more than a rubber rope. For once, copying can be recommended! The "007 Bungee Jump"- lasts exactly 71/2 seconds - take longer to enjoy your well-earned dip in Lake Maggiore.

Can you define these popular missing words?
The face that one makes, or is compelled to make, when drinking a strong alcoholic beverage. Resisting it is a sign of strength and high tolerance for alcohol. An alcohol virgin is almost guaranteed to make this face when first tasting a straight shot of whiskey, rum, or other strong alcoholic beverage.

NEW YORK (May 9, 2005) The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) today announces the launch of Bank On A Cure®, the first myeloma-specific, cancer-patient DNA bank in history. Bank On A Cure was created to advance research, to provide better treatments in the short term, and to find a cure for multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells in the bone marrow.
As part of today's public launch event at the Millenium Hilton in New York City, Geraldine Ferraro will contribute a sample of her DNA to Bank On A Cure through a simple, painless procedure known as "swish and rinse." Ms. Ferraro was diagnosed with myeloma in 1998.
"Bank On A Cure holds tremendous potential to move our understanding of myeloma forward by leaps and bounds," said Ms. Ferraro. "I am delighted to take part in a project that will benefit not only current myeloma patients such as myself, but also cancer patients for years to come."
"The International Myeloma Foundation is privileged to have the Honorable Geraldine Ferraro participate in Bank On A Cure," said Susie Novis, IMF president. "We foresee a time in the near future when each patient's treatment will be tailored to his or her own genetics, allowing better, more effective therapies. This important project will move us closer to that goal and to finding a cure for myeloma."
"This personalized molecular approach to myeloma research and treatment is a key component to the IMF's research efforts to introduce molecular medicine into day-to-day myeloma management," said Dr. Brian Durie, IMF Chairman of the Board.
Created by the IMF, Bank On A Cure is the world's first databank of myeloma patient DNA and information. The project brings together the global myeloma community to create a truly collaborative research environment with the ability to analyze complex genetic information from thousands of myeloma patients around the world. Bank On A Cure has already collected DNA samples from more than 5,000 myeloma patients. Researchers are currently looking at patients' responses to treatment to improve the benefits of existing therapy, reduce side effects, and improve patients' quality of life right now.
Institutions, researchers, patients and family members who would like to participate in Bank On A Cure can do so by contacting the IMF at (800) 452-CURE or www.myeloma.org.
Because every cell in the human body contains the same DNA, a convenient source is the surface cells inside the mouth. These cells, called buccal cells, can be collected through a simple, painless procedure called "swish and rinse." A patient drinks a small cup of mouthwashprovided by Bank On A Cure as part of the collection kit"swishes" it around in his or her mouth, and then "rinses" the sample into a coded collection cup. The DNA sample is then returned to the Bank On A Cure laboratory at the University of Minnesota Cancer Center, for analysis.
The International Myeloma Foundation is the oldest and largest myeloma organization in existence, reaching more than 125,000 members in 113 countries worldwide. A 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of myeloma patients and their families, the IMF focuses on four key areas: research, education, support, and advocacy. To date, the IMF has conducted more than 100 educational seminars worldwide; maintains a world-renowned hotline; and ensures that patients' voices are heard on Capitol Hill. The IMF can be reached at (800) 452-CURE or www.myeloma.org.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Oct. 18, 2012
Dr. Julie Rubio, author and college professor, will present the fourth lecture in the First Theology Lecture Series sponsored by the department of theology in the Saint Vincent College School of Humanities and Fine Arts at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 23 in the Performing Arts Center of the Robert S. Carey Student Center. The talk is entitled "A Family for Others." Admission is free and open to the public. Dr. Rubio is associate professor of Christian ethics at St. Louis University. Her research brings together Catholic social teaching and Christian theology on marriage and family. She is the author of Family Ethics: Practices for Christians (Georgetown University Press, 2010). Currently, she is working on a new book tentatively titled, Both Personal and Political: Catholic Reflections on American Social Problems.

Find a way.
The motto is written any and everywhere on anything and everything blue and gold.
It is the Berkeley Stags baseball motto.
Find a way to win.
On Thursday, April 10 against visiting James Island, Chase Ganeys high hopper fielders choice drove in Connor Teague with the winning run as Berkeley scored twice in their last at bat to put the Region 8-AAA title in a hammerlock with a 2-1 win over the visiting Trojans.
This is Berkeley baseball, coach Landy Cox said. Funny how the game changes when the pressure is on you. You rise up and make the plays or you start throwing the ball around.
The Trojans started throwing the ball around, and the Stags made the plays.
The Stags Joe Glauser and James Islands Daniel Wilcutt were locked in a classic pitchers duel until the Trojans plated a run off an infield single in the top of the seventh to take a 1-0 lead.
After Kyle Garrick led off the Stags final at-bat with an infield single, the chess match began.
Josh Simmons sacrificed Garrick to second.
With Kyle Morrison pinch running, Teague hit a bad-hop infield single that moved Morrison to third.
Dylan Baker followed with a safety squeeze that scored Morrison and tied the game.
A Wilcutt wild pitch moved Teague to third and Baker to second.
After Wilcutt intentionally walked Jeffrey Stone to set up a force at any base, Ganey delivered the high hoppper over the mound.
The throw was high to the plate as Teague scored standing up.
All we were trying to do was safety squeeze with Baker and they started throwing the ball around, Cox said. Its all about executing and this team finds a way to get the bunt down or put the ball in play.
With the win, Berkeley moves to 4-1 in Region 8-AAA with region games against Stall, Orangeburg-Wilkinson and Hilton Head remaining.
The big game is Hilton Head and we need to win against them to repeat as region champs, Cox said. Well see their lefthander. Its going to be a war just like tonights game.
Stone picked up the win in relief. Glauser threw six-plus innings, giving up one run on just four singles.
The Stags managed just three infield singles off Wilcutt, with Garricks two hits leading the offense.
We find a way, Cox said. Thats how you win ball games.

2 p.m. -- Green Day with the American Idiot cast
Security is crazy-tight at the Staples Center. Not only did we need to apply in advance for accreditation just to get in the door -- once we do get in, we have to empty our pockets and/or purses and go through a metal detector. We are given backstage pass-style stickers, told we must wear them at all times and escorted into the sectioned-off portion of the arena where the media (and a few lucky fans) are allowed to sit. Across the way, on the massive black stage, Bay Area pop-punk trio Green Day are running through 21 Guns (up for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song) with the cast of their new American Idiot musical and a string section. The song begins quietly with the young castmembers and the strings, then kicks into gear when a giant wall rises to reveal the band. The black-clad Billie Joe -- playing acoustic guitar -- swaps vocals with a female vocalist while the rest of the kids gather around, sing backup and pump their fists to the beat. Between all those vocalists and the dramatic arrangement, this version of the song sounds even more anthemic than the one on the CD -- if that's possible. After three run-throughs, each of which sounds about the same as the last, it's over.
A little more on that stage: It's very sleek, with two ramps that come forward from either side and meet in the middle at a set of lighted stairs. One would assume the little pits in the stage are for the orchestra. Above there are half a dozen video screens, masses of lights and plenty of neon. There's also a small circular satellite stage for introductions and whatnot in the centre of the arena.

Psychiatrist Adelaide Robb, MD, spoke to Medscape about why the AAP's recent early screening recommendations are critical saying mental health disorders are actually more common than some disorders such as asthma, which pediatricians screen for more often.
Paramjit T. Joshi, MD, Division Chief of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Children's National Health System, will be recognized by the Indo-American Psychiatric Association (IAPA) with the 2015 Outstanding Academician award.
The District of Columbia Department of Behavioral Health recently awarded Children's National Health System with a contract to implement the DC Mental Health Access in Pediatrics (DC MAP) project.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - Playing a stretch of three games in as many days - including today's matchup in suburban Pittsburgh against defending state champion Seton-LaSalle - dictated that a breather would be welcomed Friday night for the Hollidaysburg Lady Golden Tigers in their home game with Punxsutawney.
And Friday's outing proved to be just what the doctor ordered for Hollidaysburg, which improved its season record to 11-0 with a 67-43 win behind senior post Morgan Griffith's career-high 30 points.
Hollidaysburg coach Deanna Jubeck was afforded the opportunity to give her starters plenty of rest, as the Lady Tigers opened the third quarter with a 32-17 lead and five reserves on the Hollidaysburg Area Senior High School gymnasium floor.
"Our plan tonight was to try to get some starters some rest,'' Jubeck said. "We wanted to get out of the gates with a fast start. We were able to substitute pretty freely, with 15 kids getting into this game.''
Griffith's contributions were a big reason why. The 6-foot standout controlled the paint, scoring 14 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in the first half alone. She wrapped up her banner night with 14 fourth-quarter points, finished with 16 rebounds in the game, and made all 14 of her attempted free throws.
"I'm a senior, and I knew how to take control of my height advantage and get position,'' Griffith said.
Hollidaysburg bolted out to a quick 12-2 lead behind two Griffith buckets from in close and another pair of field goals from the low blocks by junior forward Morgan Jennings. Jennings grabbed eight rebounds as Hollidaysburg fashioned a 44-19 advantage on the boards.
"Morgan Griffith and Morgan Jennings gave us some nice work on the boards tonight,'' Jubeck said.
"There's not a lot of height in the Punxsutawney lineup, so we were hoping Morgan Griffith could dominate in the paint for us.''
After Punxsutawney closed to within 12-7 on sophomore Jensen Constantino's basket, Hollidaysburg regained control with a 3-point shot from the top of the circle by senior guard Susie Ellis. Griffith then added a hoop off a feed from senior guard Lexi Servello, before Griffith hit a pair of free throws and Jennings scored a put-back to stake Hollidaysburg to a 21-9 lead after one quarter.
"Hollidaysburg is a very good basketball team,'' said Punxsutawney coach Randy Reitz, whose squad dropped to 7-5. "They're athletic, smart, and very experienced. Griffith is a very good talent, but she's also got a lot of talent around her there.''
Hollidaysburg maintained a 48-31 lead after three quarters, and stayed in cruise control for much of the second half.
Griffith's 30 points bettered her previous career-high of 29 in the Lady Tigers' one-point victory at archrival Altoona Dec. 12.
Punxsutawney got 14 points from junior Taylor Newcomb and 11 from Constantino.
Hollidaysburg won handily Thursday night at Penn Hills before breezing last night. The Lady Tigers figure to have all they can handle today in a 4:30 p.m. tipoff against Seton-LaSalle in the Gateway High School Classic in Monroeville.
Seton-LaSalle captured the PIAA Class AA state title last March, before seeing its 37-game winning streak snapped earlier this year.
"This is the busy part of our schedule, and Seton-LaSalle is the best team on our schedule so far,'' Jubeck said. "They're the defending state champions, they're very tall, and very athletic. They will be a very good opponent for us.''
Griffith is among those Lady Tigers who is looking forward to today's challenge.
"If everybody shows up and we all play like we know how, I think we can give them a good game,'' Griffith said. "We're excited to be playing a team like that.''
PUNXSUTAWEY (43): Alyssa Reitz 2 0-0 6, Newcomb 6 0-2 14, Constantino 5 1-2 11, Fye 1 2-2 4, Ashley Reitz 0 0-0 0, Horner 1 0-0 2, Ward 0 0-0 0, DiPietro 1 0-0 2, White 0 0-0 0, Ferko 0 0-0 0, Bridge 0 0-0 0, Painter 2 0-0 4. Totals - 18 3-6 43.

I was really excited to get this bag mainly because the description say it will hold the iPad mini. I have the new one with the retina display and it does not really fit unless you cram in in there and don't mind having the zipper scrape along the side of your device to the point where it is barely closed. Now...perhaps the leather needs time to stretch out...a lot! I did not return it because i will use it to keep cords, chargers, headphones and such together, but I was sad it did not fit my iPad mini.

I thought the white metal zippers made the product look less luxurious. I bought this for a gift but it did not come with the customary green gift box. I called to see if I could purchase a Levinger gift box but this is apparently not available. It's too bad because I prefer to give Levinger gifts in Levinger gift boxes. I ended up returning the item.

Comments about Levenger Bomber Jacket Electronics Hold-All Case:
This is an amazing bag! It's attractive, extremely well made and designed, and very useful - especially on trips. I think I have bought 15 of these and everyone who has received one has been thrilled with them. i started out giving them just to the men in my life but after buying one for myself I started giving them to the women in my life as well and they have been equally pleased. This is a real winner.

I have had so many problems keeping up with all my recharging devices and sometimes found myself on the road without one of them, a disaster for someone who works from a variety of places. Now I just keep them in the wonderful soft leather case - one glance and I can see I have them all with me. Excellent.

No More Rooting Around the Backpack
By Weekend Traveler
from Gloucester County, NJ
I finally got tired of rooting around the various compartments of the backpack I take along for the pieces of electronic gear I travel with on our weekend getaways.Multiple chargers and cords, thumb drives; all usually scattered into whatever backpack compartment I toss them into.Saw this go on sale, and since I have a number of other bomber jacket accessories, figured, "why not?"Glad I did - it went away with me this past weekend, and it was refreshing to pull one thing out of the backpack to get my hands on what I needed.Not a life-changing accessory by any means, but useful, well-made, and handsome.

Definitely worth it!
By Las Vegas Teacher
from Las Vegas
I actually have used this case more for pencils and make-up then for electronics. The little pockets hold small objects well. It can definitely work for electronics though--as it was designed for that. It has two net pockets on one side of the inside and then three fabric pockets on the other side of the inside. The three fabric pockets kind of feel like neoprene. That is what they remind me of. The inside is also lined with plaid fabric. It is brown and black. They thing I like best about this case is the leather. It is so soft on the hand. I love to use it because of the soft leather. That is the quality leather that you get from Levenger products. You get what you pay for.

I'm very happy with the purchase. It organizes and holds a whole lot of cords, connectors and extra power supplies. The leather and stitching are top quality and the dimensions are just right for my briefcase. I use this when I'm traveling to keep cords and power handy.
Well made but bulky
By SanDiegoDave
from San Diego, CA
Good quality leather and useful internal pouches make this a very practical case, but it is bulky and a bit on the heavy side. I upgraded to this from a neoprene case, and this one provides a lot more protection for the items inside. All in all, a good case but not at a great one, and not at a bargain price.

In SR2, Raziel is seen at the top of Janos' retreat with the fire reaver. Similar to the vision in the Chronoplast.

15,000 more Marylanders employed since start of 2011
BALTIMORE, MD (April 19, 2011) - Maryland's unemployment rate improved in March 2011
for the third consecutive month to 6.9 percent - dropping below 7 percent for the first
time in two years. The unemployment rate has improved 0.5 percentage points since the
end of 2010.
Marylands economy continues to grow as our state pulls out of this national recession.
Thousands of Marylanders have entered the workforce since the start of the year and we
recorded the largest monthly employment gain last month since the final month of President
Clintons term, said Governor Martin OMalley. While were pleased to announce that the
states unemployment rate dropped below 7 percent for the first time in two years, we must
continue our efforts to build a talented workforce pipeline that will help us win the future
and compete in the new economy.
"While we still have a great deal of work ahead, the March employment report clearly shows
that Maryland is moving consistently down the path toward recovery," Maryland Labor Secretary
Alexander M. Sanchez said. "The state's unemployment rate has improved every month since the
beginning of the year, and nearly 15,000 additional Marylanders are working today who were
not when the year began."
Including March 2011, Maryland's unemployment rate has improved or held steady 14 months
in a row. The rate is currently 0.7 percentage points lower than it was a year ago. According
to data made available today by the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics,
nearly 16,800 additional Marylanders are working today compared to data from March 2010, and
nearly 19,000 fewer Marylanders are unemployed. Since the beginning of 2011, nearly 15,000
additional Marylanders have started working and 8,100 fewer are unemployed.
While more Marylanders are working today than a year ago, Maryland lost 5,900 payroll jobs
in March 2011, compared to February 2011. The largest declines were realized in local
government, retail, administrative and support services, construction and transportation.
Higher gas prices and unseasonable weather likely played a determining role in
over-the-month declines.
Despite moderate monthly jobs losses, March 2011 offered several signs that the
State is well-positioned for future job growth. The state added 1,300 jobs in
accommodations and food services, 900 in professional, scientific and technological
services, 800 in the information sector, 500 in wholesale trade and 300 in manufacturing.
March 2011 was also the 9th consecutive month of year-over-year job growth.
Private sector announcements also provide optimistic signals for job growth in the
months ahead. The sale of Sparrows Point early in the month is already prompting the
rehiring of employees displaced last year. Walmart recently opened a new superstore in
Fallston and Price Rite Supermarket opened in the Woodlawn area, creating more than 120
new jobs. Wegmans recently announced that it will begin hiring as many as 600 employees
before opening a new store in Harford County and Kohls will open a distribution center
in Harford County that will create 200 new jobs.
DLLR is the state's leading agency for workforce development and skills training.
Yesterday, DLLR relaunched the Maryland Workforce Exchange (MWE) as a more dynamic,
virtual One Stop Employment Center. The newly-revamped MWE portal connects agencies,
programs and services electronically to assist and connect employers and jobseekers.
The system provides integrated services via the Internet for individuals, employers,
training providers, workforce staff and one-stop partners and dramatically improves
customer satisfaction, staff efficiency and overall performance.

Those typically hurt the most - lightening strike falls, that is...
Personally, I wouldn't describe Ashley 2A fall as 'slipping off an edge'. It happened fast, of course, but as I was watching it on live tv, I KNEW that 2A was going to be underrotated the moment she got up in the air. I'm not a technical specialist at all, but I think the timing was off and/or there was just not enough speed and height. She fell because of the underrotation.
I did read on GS that it was actually the fall on the 3S that hurt her hip, which surprised me as *that* did look like a typical slightly underrotated jump results in two footing + falling off the edge. The Dutch commentator was saying on the replay "that *didn't* hurt, skaters are used to that, the fall on the 2A otoh..." But apparantly the fall on the 3S did hurt?
My son played rugby for years and had several hip pointers. I realize there are different degrees, etc. etc. but if Ashley had a hip pointer I don't believe she could have continued the way she did. They sting like $%^$ and can almost immobilize you. Let's continue to hope that she's just badly bruised and stiff and didn't want to take a chance until she was sure it was just a bruise.
So if Wagner has to withdraw from the U.S. Nationals as well, do you think she will get a bye to the World Championship?
no no no no no no i'm probably gonna cry if she's seriously injured. praying that this isn't anything that will keep her off the ice long term and that she will make nationals and worlds again! she's had too much success for something to stop her
I'm hoping it's all "doom-and-gloom" talk and she will be alright...but I don't think we'll know the real deal for another 1-2 weeks- perhaps even until year's end.
I'll tell you this though- the road of the reigning US champion is cursed indeed. Skategods not being friendly at all
