Report card season is meant as judgment day for kids, but in many cases it is the parents who come under scrutiny -- most notably by the kids themselves.
How a parent reacts can bring a kid's self-esteem up or knock it down, can encourage them to put forth more effort or to become complacent and can send strong messages about priorities, values and dealing with being judged.
In a Jewish community where academic pressure is high, keeping things in focus during report card season is essential. Positive and specific feedback, goal-setting and, above all, open communication -- among the parent, the student and the school -- is essential.
"When the report card comes the parent should ask themselves a few questions and have a good conversation with their child," advised Ronni Ephraim, chief instructional officer for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). "The first thing you have to ask yourself is 'do I have good communication with my school?' and 'what can I do as a parent?' and 'what can I ask my school to do better to help me understand where my child is before I get the news in the mail?'"
Rabbi Jonathan Aaron, head of school at Temple Emanuel Day School in Beverly Hills, said most schools today see the report card as one part of an ongoing narrative of the child's social and academic progress through the school year, with conferences, progress reports and as-needed phone calls or meetings laying the context for what comes in the mail.
But even if the grade comes as no surprise, seeing the concrete letter or number on an official slip of paper acts as an important moment in a child's school year, and knowing how to interpret the grade is essential.
"If a child is far behind, you need to ask why," Ephraim said. "Are they doing their homework, are they attending class, are they attentive when they are in class, are they working as hard as they can? Depending on those answers, the parent knows how to engage with the school and the child."
If effort and assiduousness don't seem to be the issue, look to things such as the child's emotional and physical health, where she sits and what her learning style is and work out a plan with the school and the student to bring things to a better level, Ephraim said.
Mapping those strategies out before the report card actually comes can soften the blow of a bad grade.
Parents also need to be realistic about their expectations.
"A lot of parents want their children to do better then they did and are pushing them harder because of their own issues, but they are pushing past what a child is capable of handling," said Dr. Deborah Cutter, a family therapist who has taught classes in positive parenting.
But when a child is performing below his capability, Cutter advised letting the child know that while you expect better, your support and love is unconditional.
"You want to have an environment where the child can feel comfortable communicating and that they understand that you are there to support them no matter what," Cutter said. "You don't want to put the child on the defensive, because they are not going to listen and just shut you out."
Even when a child is doing well, let him or her know that maintaining that standard will take more work as the material gets more challenging.
"I think it is really important to celebrate good grades, but to always set new goals," Ephraim said. "A grade is just a grade in time."
Cutter said the old-fashioned idea of rewards for grades hasn't lost its power.
"I've found that using behavior modification with children really works," she said, for example, offering $5 or $10 per "A" for older kids or a trip to the toy store for younger kids.
Any punishments, Cutter said, should be a natural consequence. For example, if a child has procrastinated on a report because she was instant-messaging all night, limit computer privileges.
Schools are working to make sure that parents know more about what is going on with their children.
At Emanuel, marks are very specific, so rather than a generic math grade, children get marks in things like addition, subtraction and fractions.
Like many other schools -- including LAUSD elementary schools -- Emanuel has moved to a one-through-four number system.
LAUSD ties those grades to the standards set out by the state, so that if a child gets a four (exceeds the standards) or a two (partially meets the standards) a parent can go to www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ and www.lausd.k12.ca.us/lausd/offices/instruct/standards, and see what specific academic criteria the child is or isn't meeting. (Colleges expect letter grades, so high schools are still on the A-F scale.)
Going from letters to numbers also reduced the number of marks from five (A, B, C, D, F) to four, eliminating the default grade of C.
"You are either meeting or not meeting standards," Ephraim said. "The middle-of-the-road grade was taken out."
Whether report card day means a celebratory dinner or lots of slammed doors, Ephraim advises parents and kids to keep things in perspective.
"We have to be sensible about it and know that these kids have a long life of grades ahead of them, from kindergarten, through high school and even in college," she said (speaking more as a Jewish mother than an educational professional, she admits). "We have to be careful about how we react to those grades in a way that doesn't harm their self-esteem and at the same time that doesn't let them be lazy. It's a fine balance, and that is what parenting is about."

Yesterday was a good day an dI must admit that I fell face first into some 4th of July cookies. But worry not my friends - it was not a binge, nor a reward, it was just cookies and milk. Family time and i enjoyed every morsel. it's the first thing made of the "forbidden foods" I have had in over a month. I enjoyed the fact that it was something sweet, but it really just tasted bland to me. Like there was not substance to it. Milk was good, but the cookies weren't really like I remember. So this little taste of the SAD just reinforced why I'm doing what Im doing, but i can enjoy myself and not feel like such a bitch by saying NO to every one all the time.
We took the babies to the water (my two yorkies) and Big Betty our pontoon boat the fur babes had a blast they are still restin up after yesterday.
Came home and fired up the grill and threw some steaks on there - Hubs is beginning to see HOW I cook steaks, and why. The last time he cooked them they were so tough I threw 1/2 of it away. So this time he listened - got the grill good and hot - 3 minutes on one side 2 minutes on the other viola! What he didn't understand was the searing part. Anywho.
June - i took some pics today with the MACRO lens attachment I have b/c it is overcast and of course you know makes for a great light. here are some of them and the address to my album of some of my pics....

Lalli, who spilt time behind the plate as well as at first base for the Chiefs this season, heads to Daytona after a successful start to the 2008 season. Lalli was hitting .283 with one home run and seven RBI in 12 games prior to the promotion. Lalli spent the entire 2007 season with Peoria where he hit .295 with four home runs and 33 runs batted in. He also made six appearances out of the Chiefs bullpen and did not surrender a run in four innings of work on the mound.
Muldowney, an eighth round pick in 2006 out of the University of Pittsburgh, was the Chiefs 2007 opening day starter. After six starts in which he went 2-3 with a 5.24 ERA, including one complete game, the 23-year old, was shutdown due to discomfort in his pitching arm. His last outing of the season came in May 9th in Dayton, when he allowed five runs on three hits in just 1 1/3 innings of work. He returned to extended spring training after recovering from the injury but made just two appearances in the month of June. He went 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA in just three innings of work before being shutdown for the season with reoccurring arm pain.
Lara, a 21-year old free agent, was signed by the Cubs in 2006. He spent the 2007 season in Mesa after spending the 2006 season with in the Dominican Summer League. Last year with Mesa, Lara hit .267 with one home run and eight RBI in 31 games. He primarily played second base but also saw some time at third. The Dominican native hit .325 with two home runs and 46 runs driven in during the '06 season with the DSL Cubs.

World Superbike and World Supersport 2012
Jonathan Rea (Honda World Superbike Team) scored his and Honda's second FIM Superbike World Championship race win of 2012, in race two at Donington, after what was one of the most close fought and exciting contests the famous old circuit has ever hosted.
Under sunny skies on race-day, after a period of almost always dry practice and qualifying, Rea scored fourth in race one, itself a minor classic of the genre, which was won by Marco Melandri. The Italian rider gave BMW its first ever win in this class of racing. It was race two, the second 23-lap race of the day, that really got the crowds going, however, at what was officially called the European round of the championship.
Rea had been sixth on lap one of race one, matching his qualifying position, but he clawed his way back into the leading bunch and was less than two seconds from Melandri and potential victory, with Leon Haslam (BMW) and Tom Sykes (Kawasaki) also in front of him. In race two Rea also had to work hard to get into contention with the leading few and also ran off track at one time as he pushed on to what at one time looked like an unlikely podium, much less a potential victory.
Fourth going into the final lap, but still part of a rolling maul of metal and motivation for the win, Rea passed Max Biaggi (Aprilia) for third. As Melandri and Haslam ran wide, trying to attack and defend the lead respectively, Rea saw his opportunity and took a tight line into the final Goddards corner. Haslam and he collided and the BMW rider fell, with his bike skittling Melandri, leaving Rea clear track to the flag to win. Biaggi was second and Sykes third.
Rea's latest win put him third in the championship, three places higher than he started the day in. Biaggi has 128.5 points, Sykes 123.5, Rea 108 and Carlos Checa (Ducati) 105.5. Reigning champion Checa was only sixth in race one then a faller at the first corner of race two, after a collision with another rider.
Hiroshi Aoyama (Honda World Superbike Team) had a much-less dramatic afternoon in England, but much work took place in practice and qualifying for a major part of weekend. He and his team had to find a new set-up to match the undulations, bumps and sweeps of Donington, after the flat-out blasts and chicanes of Monza. Aoyama was within one place of qualifying for Superpole, and in the races today he was 17th, and then a strong tenth in a race where every rider who finished scored points. This included Haslam, who pushed his machine to the finish line from the final corner and was ranked 15th. In the points Aoyama is 13th overall, with 30.5.
The next round is in America, at Miller Motorsports Park on May 28th – making it a Monday raceday.
Sam Lowes (Bogdanka PTR Honda) took his first career win in the FIM Supersport World Championship after converting a second place on the grid into a full points score. Lowes had been through some troubled times in practice after he picked up a nasty stomach infection of some kind, meaning he had been ill from Friday onwards. He then fell in second qualifying on Saturday, suffering severe injury to the small finger of his left hand and losing the chance to go for pole.
Lowes overcame the early push of pole position rider Jules Cluzel (PTR Honda) and despite the coming menace of double world champion Kenan Sofuoglu (Kawasaki) Lowes held on to win by upping the pace on the final two laps and taking himself to within five points of the championship lead.
Both Cluzel and Lowes gained from their podium finishes, with Lowes on 76 points to Sofuoglu's 81, while Cluzel is now third overall, on 64. The French rider put his knowledge of Donington to good use and was delighted like his peers not to meet any rainy conditions, which allowed him to find a good race set-up.
Broc Parkes (Ten Kate Racing Products Honda) had good early pace, but dropped out of contention as his rear lost grip and he finished fourth in the race, moving up to fifth in the championship - albeit 39 points behind the leading rider.
Seventh for Ronan Quarmby (PTR Honda) at Donington was result that pushed him up to seventh place overall. He was satisfied in one way as he had only qualified 11th, and is now only four points from the rider ahead.
A great ride from Valentine Debise (SMS Racing Honda) placed him eighth; with his only score of the year so far giving him eight points on one fell swoop. He had a strong ninth place in qualifying to thank for his good start, riding to sixth after one lap and keeping a good pace throughout.
Roberto Tamburini (Lorini Honda) was 11th, the last Honda rider in the points.
At his home race Martin Jessopp (Riders PTR Honda) rode to 16th, Kieran Clarke (Bogdanka Honda PTR) was 17th, and Ilario Dionisi (PRORACE Honda) was 18th. Despite a big crash in practice, Andrea Antonelli (Lorini Honda) rode on raceday and finished 22nd.
Imre Toth (Racing Team Toth Honda) and his team-mate Balazs Nemeth both failed to finish, like Mathew Scholtz (Bogdanka PTR Honda).

Solutions for Chapter 5
Business Impact of Text Mining and Application
Text mining is the process of deriving high quality information from the text by analyzing the text. This analysis process has positively affected almost all the spheres today. Its impact on the business is incomparable.
The few examples that can be sighted can be given as:
• Analyzing documents through e-discovery
• Identify a person's controversial traits
• Analyzing perceptions of people
• Analyzing customer sentiments in hotel management
Analyzing documents through e-discovery: The Law firms are using text mining for "e-discovery", where they are able to analyze millions of documents, in a fraction of time and at a fraction of cost. For instance, the firm DLA Piper used the Clearwell mining software to analyze 570000 documents in just two days.
Identify a person's controversial traits: The software can also be used to identify a person's controversial traits to give the signal of a crime. This can be done by examining certain changes in the behavior of the people, like preference of face-to-face interaction over e-mails or instant messaging.
BIA's program used to assign a grade in between 1 and 10 to signify the nature of the call, with the higher end signifying a problematic situation.
Analyzing perceptions of people: The software can also be used to analyze the perceptions of people about a company. By this, a company can take specific measures to change the views of people about the company.Similar was the case with Kia Motors, which used the software to determine the effectiveness of its "Super Bowl" ad in 2011. The company registered a jump from 4 percent to 9 percent after the airing of its "Super Bowl" advertisement.
Analyzing customer sentiments in hotel management:
The software holds its applications in the field of hotel management as well. The customer sentiments can be analyzed by the hotel managers, to ensure customer satisfaction. Gaylord Hotels took similar steps.
By the help of data mining, it was discovered that the first twenty minutes were the most important in deciding the views of customer about the hotel. So, it took special measures, to satisfy the customers during their arrival. It appointed a hotel staff to escort the customers to their final destination in the resort.
These are just a few applications of the software. Data Mining can help to analyze problems and find their solutions in the innumerable fields.

Flirt: sheer natural coral pink
Perfectly plumped lips, instantly. (No pain. No waiting. No kidding.)
The next generation of lip plumpers has arrived. LipFusion is moisturizing treatment gloss infused with revolutionary technology to plump lips instantly - no kidding. Tiny, dehydrated, marine collagen microspheres are instantly absorbed by the lips, and seek out the body's natural moisture. As soon as the spheres become re-hydrated, they plump and hold onto the moisture they've collected, creating a mild "swelling" of the lip tissue. The result is fuller, smoother, perfectly plumped lips in seconds. Results can last for up to 48 hours.
*Hydration of the surface of the skin.

This is my second tube and it's my favorite lip product. It actually plumps up my lips - I can tell the difference in photos when I'm wearing it and when I'm not. . Light application for day, and a little extra at night for deeper color and extra shine. (I'm Asian and I wear Fresh.) Definitely worth the splurge.

Last December, I attended my first conference as incoming editor of Women in Higher Education, the Women's Leadership Institute at Amelia Island FL.
As I surveyed the different presentations to see which ones I wanted to cover, the Women of Color Leadership Round-Table stood out to me: It was bright and early on the first
morning of the Institute but it was also the only part of the
program that made a point to directly address women of color.
In the opening keynote, co-organizer Marta Pérez Drake pointed out that this was only the second year they had held the roundtable. I knew I wanted to attend and hear what concerns the women of color brought to the Institute.
Those attending the roundtable, which was more of a conversation than a typical conference roundtable, spanned generational and ethnic divides: There were older administrators and young staff members, Latinas and African Americans, early career women and women looking for the next step in their careers.
Over a breakfast of coffee, fruit and pastries, the women shared experiences, their questions spreading out across several dining tables.
As a group, Pérez Drake encouraged us to think about what issues women of color face on their campuses.
Lonely onlies
At my table, one of the first issues that came up was how often women of color in campus departments often feel they are The Only One—the only person of color and/or the only woman.
This situation can produce anxiety, the women agreed; there is pressure to perform at the highest capacity at all times because one feels always super visible. In addition, it's hard to find someone to talk to about feeling singled out or navigating offices spaces that are comprised of people not like oneself.
One of the suggestions that came up in the discussion was to keep in mind how important it is to be visible all around campus and to take on leadership roles. Women of color often represent so many women before us and after us, and we can find strength in that.
This conversation led to another issue: where can women of color find mentors and sponsors to help them move ahead in their careers? The women at the table stressed the importance of visualizing what success looks for them and reaching out to mentors—and those mentors may or may not look like you. Be open to taking risks!
Questions of balance
One of the younger women at our table raised the question about balancing expectations at work and at home. Sometimes women feel the pressure to take on more tasks than we should; women of color especially feel the need to demonstrate that they are reliable, efficient and productive staff members if they are outnumbered in the office. On top of that, the young woman mentioned that she wanted to be present at home and contribute to the household. How to strike a healthy balance?
Many of us jumped in and stressed the importance of equitable partnerships in the household. We are not the only ones in charge of picking up the bedroom or cleaning the kitchen or folding the laundry. Talking with our significant others about how to handle chores, especially around difficult times of the semester, can help dissuade feelings of anxiety about the home.
More importantly, we need to be aware of cultural and societal expectations we put on ourselves. Who tells us we are the ones to clean up the kitchen? Or that we need to do laundry today? Does it really have to be done today? If the difference between doing laundry today and doing it tomorrow is a restful evening for yourself and your family, it's okay to leave the laundry for later.
Need for self care
This point leads me to one of the major concerns of the roundtable and the Institute as a whole: self care.
Managing expectations at work and at home, of ourselves and our friends and family, is not just about keeping things moving but also about our own well-being.When we can take time for ourselves, we make ourselves a priority.
Caring for ourselves can run against the "caregiver instinct" many of us have, the impulse to take care of everythin and everyone. This instinct comes in handy when we have to multi-task, but we need to remind ourselves to keep in mind our goals and our schedules. The Institute organizers reminded attendees more than once to take time for themselves: by the beach, at the spa or with a new friend.
For women of color leaders, self care spills over to also keeping in mind cultural and racial expectations that we may not be aware of or that we take upon ourselves. Sometimes the most pressure to be all things to everyone comes from within.
However, one thing that the women at my table emphasized was the importance of finding one's own journey and keep an eye out for opportunities for growth.
Being attuned to what makes one happy, career-wise, will help in choosing what new obligations to take on or how to spend one's free time. "What do we value?" was a common question.
The most heartwarming part for me was to see how all the women at the table encouraged one department director who confessed to all of us that she was ready to pursue her dream of obtaining a PhD.
Hearing the words of encouragement for this woman—who most of us knew for only a few minutes— reminded me why these meetings are important: They remind women of color that although they may feel alone in their departments, there are many others across institutions who are cheering them on and waiting to lend a hand to help them up.
I hope to meet many of you at future conferences, so I
can learn your stories, concerns and solutions.

Review Details
Moby Wrap Baby WrapsProduct Rating: Product Review (submitted on May 16, 2012):
My baby liked the Moby wrap for the first few weeks...at first she seemed very comfy in there, and she has had a few great naps in it. Unfortunately, I wasn't that crazy about it! Although I'd read many reviews that said it wasn't that hard to wrap, and I watched YouTube videos showing how...I found the wrapping to be a bit of a pain. It would be impossible to do anywhere that you didn't want the 15 feet of material to touch the floor, such as a parking lot, or shopping mall. I also found that it was difficult to wear over even a tank top! It was constantly bunching up and getting out of place on my shoulders. I could wear it with just a bra, but how useful is that for walks in the park? Also try to settle a squirmy baby in it! These days, now that she is much more awake, my baby only wants to be placed in it when she is already pretty sleepy and calm. I might try it again when she's a little older and I can have her legs hang out. Honestly though, its probably not worth all the hassle for me.

We get a CSA box each week - this is our first year. This week's box had:
blueberries, cherries, and strawberries.
Radishes, arugula, beets (tiny baby beets!!!) baby bock choi, and a large "head" of lovely leaf lettuce.
We order our grass-fed beef and sugar-free bacon from US Wellness Meats, and pick up the rest of our meat from our local food co-op (grass-fed, pastured, etc.).
We get most of our eggs from some friends with a dozen hens that run their backyard... they do eat some organic chicken feed, but mostly eat scraps, bugs, worms, and whatever they can scratch out of the yard. Lots of grasses, some berries bushes, and an apple tree (which they are making better by eating all the worms and bugs!). So, as you can imagine, the eggs are incredible, with the deepest orange yolks!
We are planning on hitting a farmer's market today, mostly for the "ambiance"... and maybe a few goodies.

NEW MANCHESTER - Today voters in Hancock County will decide whether or not to renew a levy that is currently supporting the Hancock County Animal Shelter with roughly $100,000 a year. The money from the levy, combined with donations and funds raised by the shelter, help it to support the county's homeless and abandoned animals.
According to animal shelter board member and spokesman Tom Goff, the shelter typically maintains the care of upwards of 250 animals.
"The money is used to keep our doors open," said Goff. "It is our lifeline."
Although 3,161 voters were in favor of the levy during a special election on Oct. 4, the 2,165 who voted against it spelled defeat as it did not receive the 60-percent-plus-one-vote margin that was needed for it to continue. It actually failed by 0.6 percent margin.
According to Hancock County Clerk Eleanor Straight, the levy is up for approval on today's primary election ballot so that the shelter can continue with its current operations, saying that if the levy is approved, nothing will change.
"It's basically like a renewal," said Straight.
The shelter is currently being supported by a levy that was initially approved by voters in 2008, supplying it with about $100,000 a year. This levy will expire on June 30.
The levy, originally approved by 64 percent of voters in Hancock County in 2008, would continue for a period of four years beginning on July 1. The levy would not raise the taxes of Hancock County residents, as the shelter is already being supported by a tax they are currently paying.
According to Goff, the levy represents a portion of the shelter's funding that goes toward running the shelter, employee expenses, building utilities, and taking care of the county's homeless animals.
"Taking care of the animals is the most important thing," said Goff. "Our number one goal is always the care of the animals."
Goff said that the levy is particularly important this time of the year with the number of animals that the shelter acquiring. Off added that the shelter also houses animals that once had owners.
"We have had an increase of people dropping off their pets because of the economy," said Goff.
The current levy is gathered by collecting 0.7 cents per $100 of assessed value on Class II property, which includes real estate, and 1.4 cents on Class II and Class IV personal property, including vehicles.
In previous reports, Hancock County Animal Shelter Director Lorrie Byo said that the "levy was needed to improve building conditions and expansion." Byo added that more kennel space for dogs and cats and a dog exercise area were being considered.
Shelter officials had said that they believe that the levy failed in 2011 because the language on the ballot said that the levy was for "additional" levies and did not call it a renewal.
"The levy was added to this primary ballot to show that it is not a tax increase," said Goff. "This is a renewal of what is already in existence."
Goff said that shelter officials have not thoroughly discussed what action would have to be taken if the levy was defeated again, but said that it would likely include cutting some services they provide such as spaying and neutering, rabies clinics, feral cat management, and the dropping off of animals.
"We have confidence in the citizens that they will vote yes for the animals," said Goff.

For a medium sized cast iron frying pan, there won't be enough space to do all the croutons in one round, so you'll have to do them in 2 batches. Since most of the good bacon grease will be gone after the fist batch, you can add a little evoo to help brown them. If you have a very large cast iron frying pan, you can likely do everything in one go.
Do not underestimate this salad. A few times, I got nervous about using two whole heads of lettuce for 5-6 adults and cut back a little, and I always get caught short.
Always a crowd pleaser (the secret ingredient is bacon :)

Microsoft Excel 2013 doesn't have a specialized function for generating random dates, but it does enable you to generate random numbers. Specifying upper and lower values for this random number restricts the output to a ranged integer. Because Excel internally recognizes dates as integers, the Date function offers logical control over the range of numbers by enabling you to specify beginning and ending dates, rather than meaningless numbers. The resulting output can then be converted into a date that was randomly generated.
Step 1
Type "=RandBetween([lower],[upper])" (without quotes) in an empty cell, and change the upper and lower values as appropriate. As an example, "=RandBetween(1,100)" generates a random number between one and 100.
Step 2
Replace the upper and lower values with the formula "Date([years],[month],[day])" to specify upper and lower dates in a range. As an example, "=RandBetween(Date(2012,1,1),Date(2012,12,31))" generates a random date between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012. However, the number will appear as an integer between 40,909 and 41,274, so you'll need to reformat it.
Step 3
Select the cell containing the formula, click the "Number Format" drop-down menu from the Home tab's Number group and select "Short Date" or "Long Date." The Short Date option returns a date formatted as "1/1/12," but the Long Date option uses the format "Sunday, January 1, 2012."

The public is well aware of the damage to property and lives floods can inflict - we saw the pictures of New Orleans after Katrina and, more recently, the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy on New Jersey and Long Island, N.Y.
Juan Enriquez hopes the research he has conducted as an undergraduate student at The University of Texas-Pan American can help prevent that kind of damage here in the Rio Grande Valley, where tropical weather, the watershed's topography and the region's rapid growth have produced frequent flooding in the area over the last 30 years.
The senior civil engineering major, under the guidance of UTPA faculty sponsor Dr. Jungseok Ho, created a hydraulic channel routing model to compute the water surface elevation along 158 river miles of the Lower Rio Grande from Peñitas to Brownsville, Texas.
"I did a model of the 2010 flood event caused by hurricane Alex ... we put in flow data, boundary conditions and then computed based on real measurements. The computation results were compared to observed water surface elevation values during Alex," Enriquez said.
The research model indicated water surface elevation differences at several locations along the Lower Rio Grande/ River.
"Models such as this provide information on where improvements to levees might be required to avoid flooding and damage to property and injuries to people. This could prevent Valley cities from flooding," he said.
Enriquez, who plans on having a civil engineering career after he graduates, said conducting and presenting research provides a great hands-on learning experience.
"What I did here is what people actually do in the real world. Engineers do these kinds of models. With an accurate model, you can predict how high the water will be during storm events and you can detect where people can build houses and where you should have easements," he said.
Enriquez said he is more knowledgeable about research procedures now and what to do when your "figures don't make sense."
"The first time I ran the numbers I got a water elevation number that was high at this (certain) point, however, when I looked at the numbers again, I had the elevation run with the dam closed," he said. "The bottom line is that I learned through this research."
Enriquez was among more than 100 undergraduate students from all disciplines in UTPA's seven colleges who described their research in oral and poster presentations during the University's first Undergraduate Research Conference - "Explore and Engage" - held Nov. 19-20.
While UT Pan American has a history of providing undergraduates opportunities for research through the Undergraduate Research Initiative grants, Howard Hughes Medical Institute funding and other programs, the conference showcased their efforts and success, said Dr. Danika Brown, associate professor of English and director of the Office of Undergraduate Research and Service Learning in the Division for Academic Affairs.
"All of our studies in higher education on student success indicate that if students have an opportunity to identify something that connects them to this university - if they work with even one faculty member outside the classroom, if they see their academic experience have a greater relevance than just getting a grade in a class, they are far more likely to succeed and we want students to succeed," Brown said.
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Havidán Rodríguez, who plans to offer the conference annually and expand it to students at other Rio Grande Valley institutions, noted the significant transformational power of undergraduate research.
"Once students become engaged in research, their GPA starts rising higher than the general student population and students going from undergraduate degrees to graduate degrees increases exponentially," he said. "We are going to grow undergraduate research at UT Pan American. This is only the beginning."

by Harry Crews
Pete Butcher is a nowhere man. He lives in a Jacksonville, Fla., boardinghouse, and he feels like a walking jinx. He's the only physically whole survivor of a series of horrendous mishaps that cost him his immediate family. His brother, for instance, is a vegetable, the result of a car crash that occurred while Pete was driving.
Pete prefers to mourn in silence and solitude, trying to ignore his history of futility and tragedy. It is only when he looks up from his funk long enough to notice his next-door neighbor, Sarah Leemer, that a few rays of sunlight interrupt his torment. Not that he wants to let those rays in. Sarah has breast cancer. After spreading to a lung, it is in remission. No matter, Pete doesn't want to hear about it. Her hard knocks simply remind him of his own.
In most fiction, Sarah and Pete would not be so afflicted and would simply fall in love and get on with their lives. But Scar Lover is a trek through Crews country, a place where welts and scars and all kinds of personal wreckage are the norm and must be paid for with buckets of pain.
Sarah and Pete, scarred physically and psychically, navigate their love right through the crisscrossing wakes of their ruined emotions. Pete gets stony when Sarah starts talking about her cancer in their most intimate moments. Still, she won't let him push her away. Pete's a mess, true, but he's honest and decent and won't hurt her, and that's a lot better than anything she's found elsewhere.
Scar Lover ranks with the best of Crews's novels (The Gypsy's Curse, A Feast of Snakes, Body). The prose is rhythmic and pure, the pace maintained at quarter-horse speed, the dialogue an eccentric blend of Southern charm and gothic humor.
One reason Crews's novels haven't found a wider audience is because they're about strange people, deformed physically or emotionally. This time he has written a love story and fashioned it in his gnarled way into something both hellish and enthralling. If the theme attracts more readers, they will find that Scar Lover is not a freak show. Like all Crews, it's as real as life. (Poseidon, $19)

Non-Contract Data Prices For Samsung Galaxy Tab Revealed
There are so many things about the new Samsung Galaxy Tab that makes the device attractive. The cost is definitely not one of them. While many of us looking for a word about the prices were taken aback with the high price point of the tablet not so long ago, it now looks like there is a lot of residual cost to go along with the initial cost of the device as well.
AndroidGuys is quoting an AT&T source to reveal a possible data pricing structure for non-contractual plans. These are for users who purchase the device at an unsubsidized cost and choose to go without a carrier contract. And by the looks of it, this is not something for everyone.
- $15/100mb for 1 day
- $30/300mb for 7 days
- $50/1gb for 30 days
One thing is quite certain. If the Samsung Galaxy Tab ever fails to live up to the hype, don't blame the product. Instead blame it on the prices.

MUSKEGON, MI – Two young adult men were lodged in the Muskegon County Jail after a brief high-speed chase Friday evening ended on a two-track in Sullivan Township.
A Muskegon County Sheriff's Department deputy was on patrol at Maple Island Road and Evanston Avenue at 7:48 p.m. Friday when an approaching vehicle passed with its high-beam headlights on, authorities said. When the sheriff patrol vehicle turned to pursue the vehicle southbound on Maple Island Road, the car sped off.
The pursuit continued east on Evanston to Sullivan Road, where the vehicle reaching 75-80 mph and with its headlights now off headed down a two-track. The driver and passenger exited the vehicle and were found a short time later in an abandon structure on the property, according to Sheriff Dean Roesler.
Authorities are not releasing the names of the two suspects who were taken to the Muskegon County Jail. They will face felony charges of fleeing and eluding police and resisting arrest next week, Roesler said.
The vehicle was not stolen but had improper license plates, the sheriff said. It was because of the plates that the driver told deputies that he took off when pursued by the sheriff patrol vehicle, he said.

Travel for recreational, leisure and business purposes is tourism. Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. Sightseeing is a part of tourism and involves traveling to distant parts of the world to see great buildings, work of art, experience new cultures and taste different cuisines. The developments in technology and transport infrastructure, such as jumbo jets, low-cost airlines and more accessible airports, have made many types of tourism more affordable. The terms tourism and travel are sometimes used interchangeably. In this context, travel has a similar definition to tourism, but implies a more purposeful journey. In recent years tourism has become hugely popular in places like Spirit Lake. Development of tourism in a particular place also leads to economic development of the place.

Visitors need only become a member of the team and a co-driver. After a safety check one proceeds to prepare the piste, located between 1,600 and 2,500 meters above sea level. One feels the power and experiences the skill of preparing a piste.

Psychologists as a group are rather notorious in their pursuit of the appropriate conceptual schemas into which can be ordered the richness and complexities of human experience. Systems, theories, methodologies and what have you, are laboriously arrived at, hailed, lived with, and after an initial romance are ultimately found wanting in lesser or greater degrees. Thus, there has been, especially among clinical psychologists, in the past two decades, a growing uneasiness with the cult of scientism, as embodied in the logical-positivist movement of the 30's and 40's, a disenchantment with rock-bound determinism, and a felt impoverishment of conceptionalization resulting from the rigid application of the S-R model to the arena of clinical phenomena. Gestaltists in the league with phenomenologists have always done battle with the molecular-reductionistic of their colleagues, and while the heat of conflict between the Hullians and Tolmanians has subsided, the lines are clearly drawn.

find and use resources
In the 1990's a youth worker in California searched the internet for free resources for youth ministry. Disappointed that there wasn't much "free" out there, Jonathan McKee created his own website called www.JonathanResources.com and posted the resources he had developed over the years. His site became so popular that in 2002, McKee founded The Source for Youth Ministry. This non-profit organization is focused on equipping youth workers and parents by providing free online resources. On the website, McKee and his colleagues provide free discussion guides based on movies and music, free movie reviews, free weekly articles about youth culture, media and research about teenage attitudes and trends.
Jonathan McKee does not shy away from acknowledging the explicit references to sex and violence in contemporary music and movies. Instead, he addresses them tastefully so that youth workers and parents alike can be informed and equipped to discuss openly with youth the culture in which they live and the issues they face daily.
Movie and music discussion guides provide open ended questions designed to draw out the perspectives and insights of teens. Biblical texts along with related discussion questions give teens an opportunity to examine and grow in their faith.
A popular feature on The Source for Youth Ministry website is the Youth Culture Window. This section features articles that address aspects of youth culture as well as suggestions for how to discuss them with teens. Two sample articles are:
Face-to-Face on Facebook at http://www.thesource4parents.com/YouthCultureWindow/article.aspx?ID=224
This article is about Airtime, an app that allows Facebook friends to connect with each other in a video-chatting format. The article is informative about what Airtime can do and suggests that youth workers and parents need to have an understanding of this app and conversations with youth about it.
Where Did God Go: What the Church Can Do to Help Faithless Young People at http://www.thesource4parents.com/YouthCultureWindow/article.aspx?ID=225
Author David R. Smith uses Jay-Z and Kanye West's song No Church in the Wild to focus on what the church could do to address the challenges of faithless youth. His advice? Put the church "in the wild." Take the Gospel to places that are scary, where people are broken and destitute. The second suggestion is to teach youth about suffering so they have an accurate perspective on it and can explore their faith in light of it.
Over time youth workers using The Source for Youth Ministry began sharing the Youth Culture Window articles with the parents of teens. It became so popular that McKee started a site for parents, www.thesource4parents.com, where he customized some of his movie clip discussions and music discussions so that parents could use them with their kids. In addition the parents' site contains reviews of video games and additional content directed specifically to parents. The Source for Parents has a YouTube page featuring short videos addressed to parents. This series is called R U Listening? To get a sampling of the content you may wish to view the short videos below.
Watch This First: What is R U Listening?
How to Listen to Your Teenager
The website has an open, hospitable tone. It provides a plethora of resources to engage youth and help them develop in their faith. The materials can easily be adapted to the unique context of your congregation and to your particular faith tradition.

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
i ask this question for the simple fact......i dont know any couple that i can think of that is actually faithful to their spouse.one of my good female friends married this guy but has a broke and drove dude on the side.....all my cousin's that are married are secretly cheating or have a side piece.....i have met so many chicks that will make it known that they are in a relationship but still want to make something happen on the side. even the people u may think are faithful or getting it poppin, they are just better at hiding it.
Views: 770
When I'm in a defined, monogamous relationship - I dont cheat. If I feel the need/desire to cheat, it's time to move on. While single, I enjoy dating; HOWEVER, if I click with anyone more than the others I'm always comparing to that one so the others soon fall to the wayside. I'm a serial monogamist...lol It' too much work to be invested in more than one person at a time.
ur mother is a smart woman.....

BlackBerry operating loss nears $1 billion for Q2, focus now on enterprise
0. phoneArena 20 Sep 2013, 17:30 posted on
Beleaguered Canadian manufacturer BlackBerry announced on Friday that it expects to report an operating loss of nearly $1billion for the second quarter; the company has decided to give up chasing iOS, Android and Windows Phone and will concentrate on the enterprise part of the industry, a sector where BlackBerry's name still carries some cache...

Too bad for them. I doubt bbm will last long either.
3. D.Aceveda (Posts: 396; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
They should of took a chance on Android back in 09-2010. Motorola did
26. Suo.Eno (Posts: 498; Member since: 17 Feb 2013)
Not necessarily... They could have also opened up BB OS 10 all the way and just keep the back end enterprise secure services out w/ a 10 foot pole. Lots have suggested this before and contrary to popular belief it's not really that hard to do. This way by open means more interested devs can come in and push the consumer side up, probably do cool things like Android emu + apps while BB can nit and pick out of the code base and veto on rels' to tie in the enterprise/biz/secure parts.
Unfortunately as we all know by now all that requires a pair of big ones from the outset which clearly never happened.
29. D.Aceveda (Posts: 396; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
What do you mean "Not necessarily"
Yes necessarily.They could of adopted Android years ago or listen to the market change and that was a demand for touch screen devices. What did they do? They didn't listen and stuck with keyboards until recently. Tried doing the "Android EMU" thing. Why emulate Android? They could of just adopted it but they (The 2 previous CEOS, and even the current) have their head up their asses.
Android could of been a huge win had they adopted it, or partially adopted it THEN. Now its too late. Enterprise is all they have left

Nokia was the largest patent holder talking about mobile communication technologies. In such context compared to Nokia, BlackBerry is totally nothing.
37. kanagadeepan (Posts: 922; Member since: 24 Jan 2012)
May be there is already some Elop's junior working in BB or even heins has some under table agreement with M$ to bring down BB share to around 4 to 5$ and Microsoft get it for real cheap, like they got Nokia cheaper than Skype..

That's all BlackBerry needs right now, accusations of child-labor.
6. uchihakurtz (Posts: 367; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
Perhaps they can focus on making apps for both or all 3 remaining platforms in the market and try squeezing money from them. What people said is they have a great keyboard, email client, and also BBM. Spice them up, make all apps have a unique feature then Bam! Profits, for a while...
9. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
They did with BB10 and their new handsets, and look where they're at now.
13. uchihakurtz (Posts: 367; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
No I mean like for example make the BlackBerry swiping up keyboard thing available on Android, BBM on all platforms, etc.. Not hardware.
10. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
"Spice them up, make all apps have a unique feature..."
Unfortunately that's easier said than done...
14. uchihakurtz (Posts: 367; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
Yeah it's really hard making something unique with the vast options of alternative apps. But security is their plus point yes?
15. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
With the recent NSA revealings, I wouldn't say security is anyone's plus point any more. Least of all BlackBerry, a company infamous for helping government agencies in the name of national security.
I suppose if BB can convince the public they have an absolutely-secure system they'd have a shot though, but they have to prove that they actually make a difference.

I'm a WP fan all the way through but I still feel sad for BB, and even sadder still for all those who will lose their jobs this coming Christmas season.
I just cannot understand why BB does not have a Plan B! All well-run companies have a Plan B, and C, and D! While developing BB10, they should also have experimented on Android and WP, or some other OS, secretly in case BB10 fails!
17. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)

You know,, Hyundai/Kia was almost dead here in the US several years back,, and look at them now... You never know what the future holds that's why I'm never quick to write any company off... WP is going to be a prime example of this... A few years from now all the people who wrote WP off are going to have their feet in their mouths..

You know What... I don't use any blackberry devices, so I could care less if they vanish, I only feel sorry for the people that lost their jobs thanks to the incompetence of the people on top of them to really drive the company to succesful path, I wish these people find a better job in company that really knows what the consumer REALLY WANTS! Keeping them competent in the game, they did not listen to the people, so it's their fault, I am not writing off the company, but one thing is for certain, it's gonna take a huge miracle to save it, a titanic effort which is virtually impossible look at the last phone they put out, the Z30 do you think that is going to put them back on the map? Let's be realistic here can we?

rodneyej1 is right about WP, but I do agree with what you said about BB. Its chances are slim in the phone industry, it's impossible there. Changing the corporate strategy and mindset is still realistic, though, especially when talking about the enterprise sector, where BB is still relevant. It's a drastic change for sure, but possible, and *might* be a successful strategy, just like IBM if you recall.

well to get back on feet from that point they need a true revolutionary idea not some multi core spec war thing . but we all know what nokia did in there most difficult time, they thown their Ace card in camera tech where no one was bothering before revolutionary or not it was damn unscratched portion in moblie sector and they survived. MS bought them sure it was their plan all the way from start....most smart people were sure of that from day nokia signed the contract with MS

I'm really surprised at the phone carriers response to all this. BB product is more or less competitive, and it should be in the carriers best interest to promote the platform. Now the carriers are faced with a situation where their entire product lines and inventories are contolled by the behemoths of Apple, Google, and Microsoft... not a good position to be in Mr. AT&T.

Fire sale? Unlock the bootloader and let devs have a field day. I missed out on the touchpad, I hope I don't miss My chance to scoop up a cheap z10. The Z10 and Q10 should have been 99 cents on two year contract. Too bad, they could have moved some units.

The z10 is surely better than q10
