on 1 Jan, 1970
Various Swiss newspapers ran a story about Marion's recollection of her time in Switzerland. I'm not sure whether these are actually new quotes or an old story being recycled because of the lady's Oscar win. Also the publication cited as original source is generally not the most trustworthy. Anyway, a translation of this article – I found it interesting because I happen to live in Berne:
"I know Switzerland a little because I was shooting a film ['La Guerre dans le Haut Pays', 1999] with Francis Reusser there", explains the 32-year-old to "Blick". We spent 2 months in Interlaken – however I don't have good memories of my time there. They don't like the French at all there!"
But the 'La Môme' star discovered some cozy places too: "Geneva and the Italian Switzerland – and Berne. Such a beautiful city. Overwhelming!" She was only bothered by the Bear Pit in the city – and not just a little: "There I was, strolling around the gorgeous Old Town, then I crossed the bridge and was deeply shocked. How can the Swiss who are normally very ecology-minded – I love their health food and wholefood shops – allow something like that to exist?"
Berne should absolutely invite the actress to the opening of the new Bear Park: The bear will have an enclosure of over 6000 square meters at the hillside of the Aare river to roam around as of summer 2009. Cotillard would then be able to observe the "Mutzen" [local expression for the bear] from the terrace near the present Bear Pit as well as from the lane on the bank of the Aare river!
4 Responses to "Marion Cotillard about Switzerland"
British actor Daniel Day-Lewis and France's Marion Cottilard were adjudged best actor and best actress in the in the 80th Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood.
Lewis and Cottilard are influenced by the planet Venus
Daniel Day-Lewis was born on April 29,1957.Therefore,he belongs to Taurus Sign.
Marion Cottilard was born on September 30,1975.Hence she is in the Libra Sign.
Both Taurus and Libra are ruled by planet Venus.
Tilda Swinton was adjudged best supporting actress.The name Tilda carries the occult number 13 which adds up to 4.Numbers 1 and 4 are closely inter connected.So,the year 2008,representing number 1(2+0+0+8=10,1+0=1) is significant for Tilda.
As regards Javier Bardem,selected best supporting actor,he was born on March 1,1969.So,his birth number is 1.In that way the year 2008 is lucky for him also.
i just wanted to say i met Marion yesterday and she is a lovely young woman. she was in my hometown doing research for her film with johnny depp. the character she is playing is billie frechette and a distant cousin of mine. Marion you were awesome! good luck with the film!Feb 29, 08 at 5:07 am
Yes, everyone has a right to their opinion but I have a right to say that her comments were ignorant. She made her comments on a public forum so don't be so surprised and shocked about the backlash.Mar 03, 08 at 4:11 pm
What a beautiful girl this is!, and her acting is superb.
One is moved to tears by her empathetic portrayel of Piaf. She has a dark Gallic beauty that transcends her physical presence.
She seems to be able to immerse herself fuck this cunt in all her roles in a kind of a mystical fashion, while still maintaining a physical
joi de vivre that can't be immitated!

Corry's Morris advances to today's PIAA Class AA final
HERSHEY -- Corry's Ryan Morris was an eager Beaver in the moments before Friday's 195-pound semifinals of the PIAA Class AA wrestling tournament.
The senior swiftly paced back-and-forth behind the mat while he waited to face Boiling Springs' Kyle Taylor.
Morris said it wasn't nerves that propelled him, but the anticipation of accomplishing something no Corry wrestler had since 1995. He finally channeled that drive once in action at the Giant Center.
It culminated with his last-minute takedown of Taylor.
Those two points proved to be the difference in a 4-3 victory that has left Morris one victory from state glory.
"This is the best moment a wrestler can ask for," he said. "I started (wrestling) in kindergarten, so this is 13 years of hard work come true."
Morris (29-5) heartily embraced Corry coach Greg Barnett and assistant Al Wood after the match. The latter also happens to be his grandfather.
Barnett said he still couldn't believe what happened even as well-wishers congratulated the trio.
"I knew Ryan had the potential to do this," he said. "I knew he had the talent, but something bad always seemed to (get in) the way. This time, everything came together."
Barnett and Morris each said they weren't sure how well they'd sleep in anticipation of today.
If they couldn't, they'd likely be up studying ways to upset Bermudian Springs senior Tristan Sponseller, Morris' opponent in a 195 final that will be televised live by the Pennsylvania Cable Network.
Sponseller improved to 42-0 with his 2-1 semifinal decision over Canton's Garrett Wesneski. If Morris can end Sponseller's perfect run, he would become Corry's third PIAA titlist.
Jim Bennett won the 138 division in 1972, when the state still ran an open-class meet. Ed Burkhart was next in 1984, when he claimed Class AA honors at 145.
Shane McChesney, who resigned as McDowell's wrestling coach before this season, was Corry's last championship finalist 19 years ago.
"A past wrestler told me that at states, there are 10 people who are capable of winning (a bracket)," Morris said. "But only the person with the best mind is going to do it. I took that to heart, and now I'm in a final."
District 10 also will have a Class AA finalist in Sam Breese (35-0). The Lakeview senior will attempt to defend as the heavyweight champ and complete his perfect season against Pen Argyl's Brady Mutton.
Fort LeBoeuf's George McGuire and North East's Andrew Phelps were notable Erie County participants in Friday's consolation brackets.
McGuire pinned Palmerton's Josh Evans in 138 action. It was the senior's 146th career victory, which erased the previous mark held by current Bison assistant Steve Waite.
Phelps, by pinning Reynolds' Cole Rickert in their 220 second-rounder, was assured of placing in the top eight at states two weeks after he was initially eliminated from the district meet.
Phelps got a second chance at postseason success when Colton Smith of Mercer withdrew from the Northwest Region meet. The Grapepickers' junior placed third at regions, which was good enough to get him to Hershey.
"Take your second chances," Phelps said. "Don't take anything for granted in your life."

Miami Dolphins: The Land of Gators
The Miami Dolphins quadrupled the amount of Florida Gators on their roster in a matter of just two rounds of the 2013 NFL Draft last weekend. With the addition of linebacker Jelani Jenkins, running back Mike Gillislee and kicker Caleb Sturgis, the Dolphins have four former Gators on their roster.
There is obviously a long way to go for all three to solidify a place on the team, but Dolphins center Mike Pouncey, who attended Florida, is thrilled to have them join the Miami locker room. He tweeted ?I will be handing out gator shirts to all my teammates this coming up week lol? when he first heard of the news.
Miami general manager Jeff Ireland took Jenkins in the fourth round and Gillislee and Sturgis in the fifth.
But do the new Gators have a place on the Dolphins roster this fall?
Caleb Sturgis is probably the most likely Florida draftee to find a spot on the roster when the season kicks off, thanks to incumbent kicker Dan Carpenter?s struggles in crunch time last season. Carpenter missed three kicks last year in game-winning situations for the Dolphins.
Also, the fact that Miami took Sturgis in the fifth round speaks volumes of their intentions to keep him on long-term. The Dolphins hadn?t drafted a kicker that high since taking Karl Kremser in 1969.
Sturgis? former coach, Will Muschamp, had high praise for the 23-year-old rookie.
?Caleb Sturgis is the best kicker I?ve ever been around,? he said. ?When you hit the 37-, 38-yard line?you?re in range. He?s accurate, he?s got an extremely strong leg, and he?s a hard worker.?
Carpenter is in the last year of his deal with the Dolphins and if Sturgis can replicate his 80% field goal percentage from his college career, he probably has a good shot at challenging for the starting job. And unlike his Florida teammates, Sturgis only has one person to compete with for the job.
I?d put Sturgis? chances at being the starter at about 60%.
Mike Gillislee, who became the eighth UF running back to go over 1,000 yards on the ground last season, is likely to be fighting for the running back job out of a crowded back field.
After the loss of Reggie Bush to the Detroit Lions this offseason, 2012 fourth-round draft pick Lamar Miller will probably be thrust into a prominent role. Miller ran for 250 yards on 51 carries last season.
Daniel Thomas also returns for Miami after 91 carries for 325 yards and four touchdowns last season. Gillislee will have to impress in training camp to overthrow the incumbents, but nonetheless, he is excited to have a chance to compete.
?The Dolphins were always my favorite team,? he said. ?It was always a dream, and now my dream came true.?
Gillislee probably has a 20% chance to start for Miami on 2013.
Jelani Jenkins is an intriguing pick for Miami as a guy coming off a broken foot that ended his season with Florida. He suffered through several injuries during the year, missing four games during the season.
When he was on the field, Jenkins was one of Florida?s better cover linebackers. His stock fell because of his injuries, but Muschamp raves about him as a player.
?[He] has got a huge upside as a player,? Muschamp said. ?He?s an every-down linebacker. He?s an immediate contributor in special teams. The guy can really run and play in space. He?s improved his physicality; he?s playing blocks in the core, but he can play on every down.?
The Dolphins will likely start Dannell Ellerbe, Philip Wheeler and Koa Misi in their 4-3 defensive scheme. Jenkins best chance to make the roster is probably as a special teams contributor.
There?s always a chance Jenkins could really amaze coaches in camp and overthrow one of those three as well. I?d say Jenkins has a 15% chance to start at linebacker, with a higher chance to start/play on special teams.
There is no doubt that Gator fans will have plenty to root for when Dolphins training camp kicks off this summer. What do you think the odds are that Sturgis, Gillislee and Jenkins make the team? Comment below and let me know!

A proposed plea deal in the William Schaeffler identity theft trial is delayed until Oct. 17 while both sides try to work out a plea deal, a district attorney's official said.
Schaeffler faces four felony counts including identity theft, commercial burglary, theft and grand theft for a $4,000 summer shopping spree with a former girlfriend's credit card.
She also claims Schaeffler ripped her off during the couple's three-year relationship between 2002 and 2005. The alleged victim's name is withheld for her protection.
Schaeffler winked at an audience as he walked into Santa Clarita Superior Court Monday.
"He thinks we're here to support him and all of us are here because he ripped us off," Brian Harvick said. Harvik is among a growing group claiming Schaeffler duped them out of money.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office offered a plea deal that included jail time, said Thomas Tibor, Schaeffler's attorney. He countered and both sides were at an impasse.
Tibor's counter offer kept Schaeffler out of jail and sentenced him to two years probation, said Ron Carey, deputy district attorney.
The breakdown in negotiations are a short-term road block, Tibor said, and added, "I expect a deal by Oct. 17."
The continuance starts the clock all over again at the preliminary hearing when Schaeffler can accept or reject the deal, Tibor said. If both sides don't negotiate a settlement before Oct. 17, then everything moves to an Oct. 30 preliminary hearing where Schaeffler either takes a plea deal or goes to trial, Tibor said.
The news of a deal without jail time fell on unforgiving ears. Todd Williams is a former business partner who also claims Schaeffler ripped him off.
Williams sat next to Harvick in court shaking his head as the proceedings dragged on for almost three hours.
"He'll just run. He'll disappear. He has nothing to lose" he said. Williams plans to file charges against Schaeffler.
"It's heart wrenching to hear what he has done to me and he could get probation. He should serve as much time as I have spent putting my life back together," the alleged victim said.

Humpin' Plumpers: Leah Jayne
Featuring Leah Jayne
Date September 3rd, 2008
Duration 17:04
Leah Jayne is not a nurse but we wish she was because big giant titties can cure the sick. Steve is not a real doctor but he fucked Bessi like he was one in Humpin' Plumpers: Bessi. The miserable bastard is alone on his birthday and needs a juggy-mistress to cheer him up. That's what they invented the Stripper-Gram for. He calls up an agency and asks for someone special. When Leah Jayne arrives in a nurse's uniform, his meat thermometer is ready to pop its top. Leah goes down on Steve with her drooling mouth and boob-bombs. There's nothing as hot as a fake nurse with giant tits and an oversexed attitude. Running Time: 17:04.

'View of Unidentified Harbour'
Salt paper print
Museum no. PH.43-1983
This image is an example of a salt print. Salt prints, the earliest paper prints, were normally made by contact printing, usually from paper negatives (calotypes) but occasionally from collodion negatives on glass. Invented by W.H. Fox Talbot in 1840, salt prints were a direct outgrowth of his earlier photogenic drawing process.
A finished salt print is matt in tone, reddish brown in colour, and has no surface gloss. If toned it is purplish brown; if faded, yellowish brown. Its highlights are usually white. Salt prints were made until about 1860, although in decreasing numbers after the advent of the albumen print in 1851.
A salt print was made by sensitising a sheet of paper in a solution of salt (sodium chloride) and then coating it on one side only with silver nitrate. Light-sensitive silver chloride was thus formed in the paper. After drying, the paper was put sensitive side up directly beneath a negative under a sheet of glass in a printing frame. This paper-negative-glass sandwich was exposed glass side up, outdoors in sunlight, i.e. it was contact printed.
The length of the exposure, up to two hours, was determined by visual inspection. When the print had reached the desired intensity it was removed from the frame and fixed with sodium thiosulphate, at that time called hyposulphate of soda ('hypo'), which stopped the chemical reaction. It was then thoroughly washed and dried. The print could be toned with gold chloride for greater permanence and richer tone. Gordon Baldwin, 'Looking at Photographs', J. Paul Getty Museum, 1991

This would appear to generalize well in the context of a user's shell--I'm mainly thinking about graphical shells, although I see no reason why it wouldn't work in text based shells as well. I'd start by defining a "Bundle" as the name to capability map as above, the difference is that it doesn't get directly associated with any particular file. Double clicking on a file (or otherwise indicating than an action wants to be performed) would search for all bundles that are associated with the file, if only one was found the name of the selected file and the bundle would be passed to the program as it starts. Opening a file without exactly one associated bundle would implicitly create a bundle with only one entry pointing to the indicated file. Saving files would implicitly define new bundles. A few more examples: Makefiles; bundle would expand to the makefile's parent directory. My .bin/.hdr example up thread[1]; bundle would contain both files and double clicking on either would allow the file to open. HTML development; bundle would identify the HTML file's parent directory, allowing easier development by not requiring all resources to be explicitly identified. It seems reasonable to also allow the parent of the file's parent directory to be chosen in larger development projects. Email client; double clicking on an attachment could create a bundle containing all attachments and open the indicated attachment. I don't think this should be default but could be very useful. Single clicking on a file would display any bundles associated with it and if only one was found the designations would be visually distinguished from those not included, if more than one bundle was found it would have to be selected first. It seems to simplify various other operations; deleting a file with only one bundle could ask if all files associated with the bundle be removed, similar seems to apply to copy operations. I can't decide whether bundles can be enumerated; I'd assume not, but if a directory was the target of a binding the directory could be enumerated. -- Sam http://samason.me.uk/ [1] http://www.eros-os.org/pipermail/e-lang/2009-March/013042.html

Kent State (4-2, 1-0 MAC) was voted to finish first in the conference, as well as win the MAC Championships, while WMU (3-1, 1-1 MAC) was slated to finish second. The Golden Flashes' win avenged their 192.650 to 192.025 loss in Kalamazoo last year.
Freshman Jessi Buis had Western Michigan's only first-place finish, tying KSU's Chelsea Drooger with a 9.850 on vault. It was Buis' first career title. Senior Lauren Bledsoe came in fourth with a 9.800 and senior Brittany Adams recorded a career-high 9.775, placing sixth.
Vault happened to be the Broncos' best event and the only competition they outscored Kent State. Western Michigan recorded its second highest score in school history with a 48.950, while KSU went 48.850. WMU set the school vault record last year against Ball State with a 49.175.
Bledsoe also finished second on the floor exercise, tallying a 9.875. Senior Caroline O'Brien turned in a runner-up finish on balance beam with a 9.750 and took third on the uneven bars with a 9.850.
Kent State's Marie Case won the all-around title (39.200) and was the individual champion on beam (9.800) and floor (9.925). Freshman Kayla Weber was WMU's lone all-arounder and totaled a 38.775.
The Broncos travel to Morgantown, W.V., for their next meet, Feb. 1, and will face West Virginia, Oklahoma and William & Mary.

The Bible Jesus Readby Philip Yancey
PHILIP YANCEY has a way of confronting our most cherished but misguided notions about faith. In THE BIBLE JESUS READ, he challenges the perception that the New Testament is all that matters and the Old Testament isn't worth taking the time to read and understand. Yancey admits that, like many Christians, he usually avoided the Old Testament. After all, why bother with writings that can be so baffling, boring, even offensive to the modern mind? But a surprising discovery awaited Yancey when he began to explore how the Old Testament related to his life today. Those seemingly irrelevant Hebrew Scriptures took on a startling immediacy, portraying a passionate relationship between God and people against the broad backdrop of human experience. Like nothing else, the Old Testament depicts the cries, the complaints, the deep, insistent Questionings of the heart, the stuff of life we all must contend with. With his candid, signature style, Yancey interacts with the Old Testament from the perspective of his own deeply personal journey. From Moses, the amazing prince of Egypt, to the psalmists' turbulent emotions and the prophets' oddball rantings, Yancey paints a picture of Israel's God-and ours that fills in the blanks of a solely New Testament vision of the Almighty. Probing some carefully selected Old Testament books - Job, Deuteronomy, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and the Prophets - Yancey reveals how the Old Testament deals in astonishing depth and detail with the issues that trouble us most. The Old Testament in fact tackles what the New Testament often only skirts. But that shouldn't surprise us. It is, after all, the Bible Jesus read. THE BIBLE JESUS READ will give you abundant new insights into the heart of God the Father. And as _you read with a fresh edge, the prayers, poems, songs, and bedtime stories that Jesus so revered, _you will gain a profound new understanding of Christ. "The more we comprehend the Old Testament," Yancey writes, "the more we comprehend Jesus." PHILIP YANCEY serves as editor-at-large for CHRISTIANITY TODAY magazine. He has written eight Gold Medallion Award-winning books, including WHERE IS GOD WHEN IT HURTS? DISAPPOINTMENT WITH GOD, and THE GIFT OF PAIN. His books THE Jesus I NEVER KNEW and WHAT'S SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE? were also awarded the Book of the Year.
Church: Why Bother?by Philip Yancey
WHY BOTHER WITH CHURCH? Maybe you've asked yourself that question, even as you've rolled dutifully out of bed each Sunday. Or perhaps rolling out is a thing of the past. The question has long since become your answer: Why bother? In response, award-winning author and journalist Philip Yancey shares snapshots from his own pilgrimage away from and back to the church. Growing up in a strict fundamentalist church in Georgia, Yancey knows firsthand the different reasons people leave church. Many of them were the same reasons that kept him away until he took a deeper look at what the church is really about. In Church: Why Bother? Yancey offers a thought-provoking and honest portrait of God's redemptive power released through the fallible human beings that make up the church. Yancey does not whitewash the church's faults. Rather, he sets them against the overwhelming balance of its strengths: its heart for God, its care for the hurting, its outreach to the lost, and its value as family and community. And he reminds us that, for all its shortcomings, it is the body of Christ--God's chosen agent for bestowing grace on a grace-starved world.

Finding God in Unexpected Placesby Philip Yancey
An Atlanta slum. A pod of whales off the coast of Alaska. The prisons of Peru and Chile. The plays of Shakespeare. A health club in Chicago. For those with eyes to see, traces of God can be found in the most unexpected places. Yet many Christians have not only missed seeing God, they've overlooked opportunities to make him visible to those most in need of hope. In this enlightening book, author Philip Yancey serves as an insightful tour guide for those willing to look beyond the obvious, pointing out glimpses of the eternal where few might think to look. Whether finding God among the newspaper headlines, within the church, or on the job, Yancey delves deeply into the commonplace and surfaces with rich spiritual insight. Finding God in Unexpected Places takes listeners from Ground Zero to the Horn of Africa, and each stop along the way reveals footprints of God, touches of his truth, and grace that prompt listeners to search deeper within their own lives for glimpses of transcendence.

Soul Survivorby Philip Yancey
Philip Yancey, whose explorations of faith have made him a guide for millions of readers, feels no need to defend the church. "When someone tells me yet another horror story about the church, I respond, 'Oh, it's even worse than that. Let me tell you my story.'I have spent most of my life in recovery from the church."Yancey acknowledges that many spiritual seekers find few answers and little solace in the institutional church. "I have met many people, and heard from many more, who have gone through a similar process of mining truth from their religious past: Roman Catholics who flinch whenever they see a nun or priest, former Seventh Day Adventists who cannot drink a cup of coffee without a stab of guilt, Mennonites who worry whether wedding rings give evidence of worldliness."How did Yancey manage to survive spiritually despite early encounters with a racist, legalistic church that he now views as almost cultic? In this, his most soul-searching book yet, he probes that very question. He tells the story of his own struggle to reclaim belief, interwoven with inspiring portraits of notable people from all walks of life, whom he calls his spiritual directors. Soul Survivor is his tribute to thirteen remarkable individuals, mentors who transformed his life and work.Besides recalling their effect on him, Yancey also provides fresh glimpses of the lives and faith journeys of each one. From the scatterbrained journalist G. K. Chesterton to the tortured novelists Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, to contemporaries such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Annie Dillard, and Robert Coles, Yancey gives inspiring portraits of those who modeled for him a life-enhancing rather than a life-constricting faith."I became a writer, I now believe, to sort out and reclaim words used and misused by the Christians of my youth," Yancey says. "These are the people who ushered me into the Kingdom. In many ways they are why I remain a Christian today, and I want to introduce them to other spiritual seekers."Soul Survivor offers illuminating insights that will enrich the lives of veteran believers and cautious seekers alike. Yancey's own story, unveiled here as never before, is a beacon for those who seek to rejuvenate their faith, and for those who are still longing for something to have faith in.From the Hardcover edition.
What Good Is God? In Search of a Faith That Mattersby Philip Yancey
Journalist and spiritual seeker Philip Yancey has always struggled with the most basic questions of the Christian faith. The question he tackles in WHAT GOOD IS GOD? concerns the practical value of belief in God. His search for the answer to this question took him to some amazing settings around the world: Mumbai, India when the firing started during the terrorist attacks; at the motel where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated; on the Virginia Tech campus soon after the massacre; an AA convention; and even to a conference for women in prostitution. At each of the 10 places he visited, his preparation for the visit and exactly what he said to the people he met each provided evidence that faith really does work when what we believe is severely tested. WHAT GOOD IS GOD? tells the story of Philips journey--the background, the preparation, the presentations themselves. Here is a story of grace for armchair travelers, spiritual seekers, and those in desperate need of assurance that their faith really matters.

Q: My ferret is not putting any pressure on her leg. I did not see what happened, but she came running out from the couch into the corner, tail puffed. This happened on a Saturday night, and I couldn't get to the vet right away. I put mild pressure on the leg in all places, and she did not try to bite me or make sounds as if in pain. I also put my finger against her paw to see if she would push back, she did. So is it just sore?
A: t is impossible to know what could be wrong with your ferret's leg just from your description. That is why your veterinarian will do an extensive examination of the leg, the skin, the muscles, the bones and the joints. Many times, observation alone does not lead you to an answer. You need to move the leg and see if it moves in the normal manner. It never surprises me when a ferret is obviously injured but does not show pain. Ferrets are some of the most stoic animals we care for.
Because you are only seeing your ferret limping, but do not report the leg being held in an abnormal position, it could be that a tendon, ligament or joint is damaged. Any of these things could occur acutely, i.e. the leg could get caught under the couch and when she tried to come out from under the couch, she twisted the leg and caused damage.
Tendon and ligament injuries can heal on their own, usually, with just cage rest. Joint damage, if it is minor, also can heal well on its own. Severe joint damage like a torn joint tendon might need surgical repair. These are the more typical problems we see.
In older ferrets, sometimes chronic conditions cause acute problems. So, if your ferret had chronic arthritis in a joint that was not painful, but then twisted her leg under the couch, that could make the chronic condition painful and cause the limping.
Take your ferret to the veterinarian, as there are some good medications to decrease swelling and help lessen the pain involved with an injury.

PBS (Wed., July 20, 8 p.m. ET)
In these six hours of official documentaries from the 1984 L.A. Olympics, filmmaker Bud Greenspan makes sports look stale and stiff. He opens his miniseries with an Olympic tribute. "It will be to the everlasting glory of our time," he pontificates, "that there came forward at the turn of the last century some men with grand vision." Hark. Verily. Pluck out thine ears so thou shalt hear no more haughty talk. And don't forget the eyes, for as soon as Greenspan leaves the screen, we see images so pumped with pomp they would make Friedrich Nietzsche cry. Then, finally, the Games begin: Britain's Dave Moorcroft runs 5,000 meters in pain but with pride, Greg Louganis dives, Mary Lou Retton grins—all shown with lots of camera angles, loads of slo-mo, stirring background music and hyperserious Dragnet-style narration. After watching the first of these films, I dusted off some tapes of ABC's coverage of the same Games. What a difference. Greenspan tries to make athletes look like polished marble statues, cold and clean. Wrong. Athletes sweat, smell, grunt and groan. In ABC's coverage, we saw all the immediacy, suspense, risk and excitement that Greenspan bleaches out of the Games. So wait one month, until Sept. 16, and you can watch the real thing when NBC covers the 1988 Olympics from Seoul.

Monster Hunter 3 tri
(Wii )
Best Online Game Out ThereBy Nathan Barton Score:
May 14, 2010 10:55AM PST
If you're afraid of the dark or large slathering beasts or worse -- commitment -- then this game might not be for you.
Otherwise this is a fantastic example of a game done right (finally) for a console that has had many poorly handled 3rd party ventures. Surprisingly, the online portion is so streamlined and user friendly that you'll forget that you're online with a wii. It's the best online gaming experience for any console right now and it would be foolish to not at least try it out. This is a badass game with a unique sense of charm and level of difficulty. And the monster animations and graphics in general are amazing.
and why would you play with a nunchuckmote? The controls btw are "clunky" for a reason. Remembering that this is a mashup of an RPG and action game, the controls are set so that certain checks and balances are in place to distribute gameplay that holds well to an RPG like structure ex health/stamina can be replenished when you sheath your weapon (sometimes) and get far enough away from the beasts to take the extra time to do so. So they work quite well, once you understand the challenge in place.

Certification and Meaningful Use: Reframing Adoption of Electronic Health Records as a Quality Imperative
Nicolas Terry
Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law
October 2, 2010
Indiana Journal of Health Law Review, Vol. 8, p. 43, 2011
Saint Louis U. Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2010-29
This article examines the promise of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act to reduce or eliminate the market failures that have impeded the adoption of electronic health records. Specifically, the article considers a key provision of the statute, a condition for receiving EHR subsidy funds: meaningful use. This deceptively simple requirement, that a health care provider must make "meaningful use of certified EHR technology," has become both the regulatory core and the talisman for the next decade's implementation of health information technology. The article describes the background to the subsidy program and examines the specifics of the "Certification" and "Meaningful Use" regulations that have followed. The article concludes by taking a broader view of Meaningful Use and relating it to the concept of more fundamental health care reform.

CHESTER-FirstEnergy must close the nearby Little Blue Run impoundment where it has been disposing of waste material for nearly 40 years by the end of 2016, according to an agreement between the utility company and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
A consent decree filed late Friday in U.S. District Court mandates that FirstEnergy close the disposal facility, devise a plan to clean up contaminated groundwater surrounding the impoundment, and pay a penalty of $800,000 to the department.
Even though closure is four years away, Pennsylvania's complaint against FirstEnergy closes a chapter in the ongoing dispute between the utility and nearby residents who say the disposal of coal ash has polluted the groundwater and ruined their property values.

Four such stations have been built in response to complaints that groundwater is being contaminated by FirstEnergy's coal ash disposal practices. (Photo by Stephen Huba)
Curtis Havens, vice president of the Little Blue Regional Action Group and a frequent critic of FirstEnergy's disposal practices, said he is "partly satisfied" with the consent decree.
"Part of the burden has lifted, but there's still a burden there," Havens said. "There are still people in this area ... who want FirstEnergy to buy them out because of the contamination (of groundwater)."
A retired postal worker, Havens and his wife, Debbie, moved to their Pyramus Road home about a year before the impoundment opened. They now live 1,200 feet from Little Blue Run. In the last two years, they and other residents of Lawrenceville have complained of offensive odors, an increase in mosquitoes, and potential drinking water and health problems as a result of FirstEnergy's continuing use of Little Blue Run for the disposal of coal ash.
"We're still going to be watching them to make sure they're doing what they're supposed to be doing- not contaminating the water and air anymore," Havens said.
FirstEnergy has used Little Blue Run since 1974 as a disposal facility for scrubber material-coal ash-from the Bruce Mansfield Plant, a coal-fired power plant in Shippingport, Pa. The flue-gas scrubbers and other air pollution controls at the plant generate waste material, some of which is thickened into a slurry and sent through a seven-mile pipeline to Little Blue Run.
Over the years, the coal ash waste material has accumulated, and the size of the lake has grown. It currently covers about 1,700 acres, straddling the Pennsylvania-West Virginia Line. About 40 percent of the impoundment is in Hancock County, just east of Chester.
Among Lawrenceville residents' chief concerns is the fact that Little Blue Run is unlined and may be leaking contaminants. State and federal regulations in the mid-1970s did not require such facilities to be lined.
According to Friday's complaint, "The absence of a liner in the disposal area creates a potential for contaminants from the waste to move into groundwater and surface waters near the impoundment. ..."
The complaint goes on to say that calcium, sulfates, chlorides and "other groundwater constituents found at certain locations near the impoundment indicate that contaminants from the solid waste within the impoundment are entering groundwater at such locations."
What's more, the complaint states that certain locations near Little Blue Run "indicate the presence of arsenic in the groundwater," which could pose a threat to human health.
The complaint charges FirstEnergy with violations of the Pennsylvania Solid Waste Management Act, including failing "to conduct required groundwater assessment and abatement actions" regarding at least five instances of seepage in the vicinity of Little Blue Run.
FirstEnergy spokesman Mark Durbin said the consent decree puts a date on a process of closure that already had begun. "We've previously stated that Little Blue Run would reach its permitted capacity between 2016 and 2018," he said. "Whatever the Department of Environmental Protection wants us to do, we're going to do that."
Durbin said FirstEnergy is in the midst of plans to open a new, smaller disposal facility adjacent to Little Blue Run-one that will have a "double liner system, a leachate collection system and other state-of-the-art technology."
FirstEnergy must submit its closure plan to the state department by March 31, 2013. The last date in which wet scrubber material can be placed in Little Blue run is Dec. 31, 2016, Durbin said.
Environmental groups, including one that filed a notice of intent to sue FirstEnergy in May, hailed the consent decree as a landmark.
"We believe this is the first time ... any regulator has formally recognized that ... coal ash ponds like Little Blue Run release pollutants that may present an imminent and substantial endangerment to nearby residents and the environment," said Lisa Widawsky Hallowell, an attorney for the Washington, D.C.-based Environmental Integrity Project.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry is now the clear front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination.
Recent polls show him with a significant lead over the other candidates. But how long can Perry stay on top?
Perry burst into the GOP field a few weeks ago, dramatically altering the battle for the Republican presidential nomination.
A new CNN poll shows 27 percent of Republicans support him as their nominee.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney trailed with 14 percent of likely supporters, while Rep. Michele Bachmann fell in third with only 9 percent.
Perry began outlining his foreign policy to thousands of veterans this week in San Antonio. He's trying to strengthen his foreign policy credentials.
Click play to watch Tyler James' report followed by analysis from CBN News Chief Political Correspondent David Brody.
Perry has reached out to former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other Bush administration veterans for advice.
"We must renew our commitment to taking the fight to the enemy wherever they are before they strike at home," he said during a campaign stop.
But it's Perry's economic record in Texas that excites mainstream Republicans.
Tea Partiers rally around his tough talk on entitlements like social security.
"I can promise you my 27-year-old son, social security under the program that we have today will not be there," Perry said.
Romney was the GOP favorite before Perry came into the race. He's now campaigning in Perry's state, but isn't focusing on the governor.
Instead, Romey's attention is on President Obama.
"It's been a presidency which has been associated with debt, and with downgrade, and with delay," Romney said.
The next two months will big for Perry. There are five GOP presidential debates and several upcoming events likely to attract the candidates.

Lubbock, TX – The
Red Raiders were able to cut the No. 13 Wildcats lead down to three on two
occasions during Tuesday night's meeting inside the United Spirit Arena, but in
the end Kansas State was too much registering a 68-59 victory.
Texas Tech (9-11, 2-7 in Big 12 Conference play), coming off
consecutive 15-plus turnover games, looked like a completely different team
turning over the ball only four times, a new season low, but struggled on the
boards – Wildcats outrebounding the Red Raiders 38-20.
Kansas State (18-4, 7-2) had contributions from multiple
players, four Wildcats reaching double digits, Rodney McGruder leading the way
with 18 points on 6-for-11 from the field.
Sophomore Jordan Tolbert for the fifth-consecutive game
reached the double figure mark scoring 19 on 7-for-12 shooting from the field. The
19 points also marked a new season-high for the Fort Worth native.
Along with Tolbert, Dejan Kravic and Josh Gray reached
double digits in scoring, 12 and 10, respectively, and Kravic also led the team
in rebounds registering seven in the loss.
Red Raiders are back in action on Saturday as they travel to Waco to take on the Baylor Bears, Tech fell to Baylor on January 8, 82-48; first tip is set for 3 p.m. inside the Ferrell Center.

After a successful debut on PlayStation 3 and PC in 2011, eyes are on Overkill's forthcoming Payday sequel to see if it can deliver the goods. The original Payday: The Heist was an enjoyable yet flawed experience, and when given the opportunity to sit and discuss this with the development team it seems as though they are all too ready to acknowledge where the original went wrong, and how Payday 2 can improve upon these established foundations.
Taking the time to speak with Electronic Theatre were Simon Viklund, Sound Designer & Music Composer, Karl Andersson, Artist & UX Designer and the ever-silent Andreas Hall, Quality Assurance. All three team members were keen to demo the videogame to Electronic Theatre promoting its strengths and discussing honestly where they have had to patch up holes from the original experience. You can read Electronic Theatre's preview of Payday 2 here, and the full transcript from the interview with Overkill follows below.
Electronic Theatre: Quite a lot has changed from the original Payday: The Heist. Have you been basing that on player feedback or is it purely the improvements you wanted to make as a team?
Simon Viklund [SV]: Some of the things, or a lot of these things I'd say, are things that we really wanted to do in the first game because we saw that potential. We wanted to have an economy in the game so that you could steal and earn money, and then spend that money in the game. But we didn't have the time to make that and we figured, 'at least we get a proof of concept of the first-person shooter part of it,' and the hostage trading and some of the other stuff that we had in the first game. We were really happy with how that turned out so the next natural step would be to go on and add these things that we had ideas about.
A lot of the player feedback mirrors what we wanted to do with the first game as well, so it all goes hand-in-hand I'd say.
Electronic Theatre: So you say there's an economy, does that mean there's a greater structure to the campaign?
SV: There is no single-player campaign. What I mean by 'economy' is that instead of money just being a measure of how far you are through the game now you can actually do things with your money.
Electronic Theatre: But presumably there's a difficulty curve? As you progress you can access harder missions and receive bigger payouts?
SV: Yeah exactly. In the beginning of the game – it's one of the good things with the new interface I think – the game can throw suggested jobs at the player that it thinks the player can handle. The difficulty of the game adapts to what the player is capable of.
Karl Anderson [KA]: The contacts that you meet – we introduce more contacts as you progress through the game – and as you level-up you get a rating, so you get graded for more difficult missions. And each contact has a mini-story arch in themselves, with different star ratings for each of their missions. First time you meet Hector it might be a small job shifting some coke. Second time you meet him, maybe you're level 20 instead of level 4, so you're going to get something more complex; something he needs someone he can trust for. When you reach level 40, a guy comes along that does undercover work for the CIA, or whatever…
Electronic Theatre: So how does that work when another player – say a player that's a much lower level – comes along and joins a player of a higher level?
SV: Yeah that's up to you. If he or she wants to accept that…
KA: They can come in. They can always come in.
Electronic Theatre: Will there be some kind of balancing or is the difficulty set by the host?
SV: It's the host.
KA: They get capped in terms of what they can get from the loot drops and the payouts. If you're at level 20 you're graded a '2 Star' but if you're at level 80 you can get eight star missions. If you're a level 20 you can't get a pay grade of 6; it's still going to cap you to that 2.
Electronic Theatre: So you can go in with a friend of a much higher level, but you'll just have less cash to keep at the end of the mission?
KA: Yeah. Cash you get, but the pay grade – the loot, the quality of rewards – that's capped. So you will get money, but you won't get any mods or glorious purple loot until you're at that level.
Electronic Theatre: So how does the levelling system work? Is it purely XP based?
SV: Yeah it's several aspects actually. As you play the game you'll gaming experience points from level 1 to 100, and then every other level you get new weapons unlocked. And then you have the ability to buy those weapons – you don't get them for free – you unlock them and then they become available to you on the black market and you can spend the money you earn in the game to buy any number of those weapons. And then you can modify them – it costs money to craft the weapons and change the modifications on it – so it my be an idea to buy two or three M4s, because you want one that is kitted for missions that you want to go in silent, you've got a silencer and a small stock so it can easily be hidden, and then you've got one where you've got larger ammo magazines so that it's more suitable if you go for the Enforcer you'll have an Enforcer version. Or that Ghost version. You can have any number of weapons.
Electronic Theatre: So presumably the videogame works in the sense that you build a character…
SV: Exactly. Skills goes into that as well, with you spending points – and that's the most interesting thing I think, because no matter how much you play the game you're not going to be able to max out. Once you reach level 100 you'll have one hundred skill points to spend…
KA: No you can get some more; depending on what choices you make and how you do things you're actually awarded skill points for…
SV: Yeah there's some challenges and stuff. But anyway, you can't get all the skills. You can in theory get all the loot drops, if you played the game for one thousand hours maybe, you'll have all of the things that you can get in the game. If we don't patch in new stuff, of course!
Electronic Theatre: Would you be able to make additional characters? Say if you had a character you were playing and your friend got the videogame two weeks later and began creating the same character, could you then create a second character so you had a mix of skills?
SV: No.
KA: But you can still re-spec!
Electronic Theatre: Doing a re-spec will cost money…
KA: Yeah in-game.
SV: Yeah not micro-transactions!
Electronic Theatre: …have you determined how expensive that will be?
SV: Just enough to make it a little bit of angst. Like, you want the choice to matter. Like, if you want to invest skill points into this thing, but then you want to take those skill points back and put them somewhere else it's going to cost… it has to be enough…
Electronic Theatre: …for it to matter?
SV: Yeah. For it to feel like you're not throwing around skill points anywhere.
Electronic Theatre: Obviously that would prevent you from doing a re-spec for a specific mission and then changing again after completion.
SV: Exactly. That's the point.
Electronic Theatre: So this skill system is fairly new, as you didn't really feel the impact of progression in the first game, was that a measured effort? Was this improvement something that you set out to do or did it come as a happy accident?
SV: We looked at the first game and we were all in agreement that this needed some improvement. We all agreed that this could be so much better, so we just sat down and decided how we wanted it: we wanted skills, and that should be separate. Because in the first game skills and weapons were all pooled together. And now…
KA: Everything was streamlined, you know. We thought 'great so now you don't have to worry about it.' But not only needn't you worry about it, you didn't actually…
SV: Our idea for the first game was that you don't need to care about it; it still adds points and once you've played for thirty hours you're going to be maxed-out and have everything. So for those who care you can job between different trees and add skill points where you want them, but for those who didn't care they didn't really need to. But in this game we take that back. We decided that we want the player to actively make the choice. To go into the skills menu and spend the points, because that makes the player more aware of what they have, so in the game they'll be like, 'I just spent money doing this, getting this skill, so maybe I can use this now.
KA: There's some awesome stuff at the top of the tree. If you go hard there's some fantastic stuff that really enhances the gameplay in spectacular ways. It's an incentive for specialising, and if you play with friends you'll want to specialise in a specific class so that you compliment each other.
Electronic Theatre: So you have the skill trees, the weapons and modifications, and then you also have the mask customisation. Will you be spending money on this also?
SV: It comes through loot drops, like weapon modifications. The difference is that masks are only aesthetical. So you get different masks in loot drops and they can be rare or they can be common, and then you can get shapes of mask that can be combined with paint jobs to create your own masks.
KA: Some of the rarer masks or paint jobs you'll have to work quite hard to get.
SV: That's always an incentive to take on tougher jobs, because if you get to the end the chance of rare loot is way higher.
KA: Also mean people won't quit midway through the mission. That's one of the reasons why we went for the different phases in contracts, because if people drop out after the first phase they won't get any reward.
Electronic Theatre: Now obviously when it comes to online multiplayer titles such as this – with skills trees, customised and random items etc. – the bullet point for status in modern times is always Borderlands. How would you feel about such a comparison?
SV: I haven't played Borderlands.
KA: We've been busy!
SV: We've been busy developing Payday 2!
KA: There's an inordinate amount of stuff – I can't tell you how much stuff we have, but it's a huge number – and what happens with the mods is that you can build any weapon into a… you can tweak them to your play style completely. You can't do paint jobs – you're still in character – but if you want to have a long range shotgun with a scope, a suppressor and a laser sight, that's your choice.

Bell-Boeing's V-22 Osprey first took to the air nearly
20 years ago and the road to active duty has been a long one. When DailyTech last visited the tilt-rotor aircraft,
the Air Force's CV-22 Osprey was criticized for its "poor aircraft availability"
and "marginal operational availability" during desert testing at
Kirkland Air Force Base.
"Frequent part and system failures, limited supply
support, and high false alarm rates in the built-in diagnostic systems caused
frequent flight delays and an excessive maintenance workload," claimed the
report which was released earlier this year.
"This produces a maintenance and support burden that
the Marines really can't afford. All of the reliability problems that they
continue to have here in the [United] States -- it's going to drive them crazy
overseas," said Philip Coyle, senior advisor for the Center for Defense
Despite the troubles, the U.S. Marines will be deploying
seven of its similar MV-22 Ospreys to Iraq in September. The Marines are
hoping that the Osprey's speed will allow it to quickly transport troops and make
it less of a target for insurgents than slower, traditional helicopters.
"It is our fervent feeling that this aircraft is the
most capable, survivable aircraft that we carry our most important weapons
system in, which is the Marine or rifleman," said Lt. Gen. John Castellaw,
the deputy commandant for aviation for the Marines. "If you've ever gone
rabbit hunting, you know that it's harder to shoot a rabbit that's running than
the one that's sitting still."
The push for the Osprey to enter regular military service
has been a long time coming. In 2007 alone, there have been six crashes
involving U.S. helicopters in Iraq. The Osprey's enviable speed (top speed
316MPH), ability to take-off and land like a helicopter and an operating range
that is three to five times that of traditional helicopters should make it a
great workhorse during its seven month deployment.
The V-22 Osprey is destined to replace the Marines' CH-46
Sky King by 2018. When compared to the CH-46, the Osprey has a range that is
three times farther and has six to seven times the survivability in the field.
The tilt-rotor aircraft has been in development for over 20 years
at a cost of over $20 billion USD.
quote: He also found that in an Osprey, he could recover from the condition relatively easily, provided he had 2,000 feet of altitude to play with
quote: Following established procedures, when the reset button on the Osprey's primary flight control system lit up, one of the pilots — either Lt. Col. Mi-chael Murphy or Lt. Col. Keith Sweaney — pushed it. Nothing happened. But as the button was pushed eight to 10 times in 20 seconds, a software failure caused the tilt-rotor aircraft to swerve out of control, stall and then crash near Camp Lejeune, N.C.

Even the best clubs in the English Premier League have a void that needs to be filled or that will need to be filled in the coming transfer windows.
From the top of the league to the bottom of the relegation zone, there are players out there that any and all of the clubs could use to make their fortunes that much better.
In looking for players to suggest, in most cases I went with players that could be more practical for each side. All of them would want a Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi but that just would never be the case so I looked for players who would make a difference and help to make the club better.

Here are the
The Digits Teach Telling Time
Telling time is a life skill. It is also a skill that is difficult for some children. The following lesson plan is designed as a beginning lesson for telling time.
Counting and Cardinality, Math, Numbers & Operations
The Digits, clocks, telling time
Step-by-Step Instructions
Wrap Up & Reflection
Students will recognize time on an analog and digital clock to the hour, half hour and 5 minutes.
1. Common Core State
Standards Grade 2, Measurement and Data, Work with time and money, Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes using a.m. and p.m. 2.
Technology standard
Lesson submitted by The Digits
What You Need:
Pre assessment
Post assessment
Math Journal
Access to You Tube channel for:
Telling time with The Digits episode 1 The Clocktopus
,(5:12) and
The One Minute Long Song
Printed example of a clock
Blank clock faces (two for each student)
Paper for making hands
Brads to attach hands to clock face
Worksheet for practice activity
Large are to create a classroom living clock
Tape to use for minute markings
What To Do:
Day 1
Gathering data before a lesson will inform your instruction. This pre assessment will help to determine the groupings for telling time instruction. There will be six opportunities for the students to demonstrate the necessary skills needed to correctly tell time. In addition, there is space for them to write the numbers, counting by 5's, from 5-60. This vital skill can be written or done orally. However, the ability to recognize and write the numbers in written form will yield more data. Remind the students that a pre assessment is just a way for you to gather some facts about how much each one knows about telling time. It is not graded but it is very important to do their own work.
1.Administer the pre assessment. Give each child a sheet that contains 6 clock faces. You can make up your own story to tell the students about time. Making a relevant connection to this lesson on time will give the students the idea that this is important.
In your story, include 2 opportunities to demonstrate knowledge by drawing clock hands to show hours, 2 opportunities to demonstrate knowledge of the half hour and 2 opportunities to demonstrate knowledge of 5 minutes on the clock. When the story has been completed, ask students to turn their papers over. #1. Telling time uses some initials A.M. and P.M. How can you tell if it is A.M. or P.M.? 2. Write the numbers, counting by 5's, from 5-60. This completes the pre assessment.
The data collected will determine the groupings for tomorrow.
Question 1- Why is time important to you?
Question 2-What do you use to tell time?
2. Introduce the vocabulary for this lesson. Let the students know that math has a secret language. When they learn the language of math it makes it easier to understand. Gathering the students around for vocabulary gives
you a better chance to see the students writing the words and also to answer questions. Show the word and its definition to the students. Have them write it in their journal. The eight words listed above should be used throughout the lesson. You can reward the students when they use the words by simply drawing a star next to the word in their journal each time it is used correctly. Two stars for using it outside of math class .Review with students that there is 24 hours in a complete day. That means it takes two times around the clock for an entire day. The first 12 hours, from 12:01 right after midnight until 11:59 right before noon, is A.M. The second 12 hours, from 12:01 right after noon until 11:59 right before midnight, is called P.M. This is the point in telling time that will
confuse some students.
Homework: Have the students take their journals home and ask everyone at home or daycare 2 questions. The student can write the answers of the person being questioned can write the answers.
Day 2
Using the data from your pre assessment will allow you to group students for the lesson. Those students who have shown mastery, knowledge of the hour, half hour, 5 minutes and counting by 5's, can be a group. This cluster grouping will satisfy the TAG, Talented and Gifted, requirement. Those students who need some intervention with counting by 5's can be a group and those with some knowledge but not mastery can be in a group. Groups can be flexible and you know your students and what is best for them.
1. Review the vocabulary words and the homework. A list can be made to record the answers to the 2 questions.
2. Give an introduction to the video they will be watching, Telling Time with The Digits, Episode 1, The Clocktopus..(5:12)
Today Gorgolax is confused about time. He has written a song about time and it isn't right. Pavi and Ray Ray help him to understand the difference between hours and minutes. Look for answers to these questions.
b. How did they tell time?
c. What do the hands on a clock tell us?
d. Why do you think The Digits need to tell time? Watch the video, answer the questions, record any questions the
students might have for The Digits. .
3. Have students write in their journal the big hand shows the minute and the little hand shows the hour. Assign the groups
and let them decorate the front of their journals.
4. Each group will be working on a different activity based on the pre assessment
4a. TAG group Give each student two clock faces. Have them create 2 analog clocks. Attach the hands with the brad in the middle. Have them work with a partner or 3's and play a game of How much time will it take if…? They must write down a starting time of an activity and an ending time to complete the activity. Their partner must set their first clock to the
starting time, the second clock to the ending time and figure out how much time it took to complete the activity. The person asking the question must decide if the answer is correct. Give a point for each correct answer. Switch the roles.
Have the next partner give a beginning and ending time. Repeat. Students can also time each other and see who gets the
most correct in the fastest time. A challenge for the partners is to use the indicators a.m. and p.m. Those problems can be
awarded two points for a correct answer. These directions should be written down and given to this group to work
4b. Almost there group just needs more practice with clocks. Give each student a clock face. Give each group the example of the clock face. Give each student the worksheet with the times they need to find. Have them write the numbers in on the clock and attach the hands. With a partner, have partner 1 point to each number and tell the time. Ex.: Point to the number 1 and say 5 minutes after, point to the 2 and say 10 minutes after, point to the 3….and so on. When they get to the 12 they need to say noon first and the second time around they say midnight. Then partner 2 will do the same practice.
After each student has had an opportunity to say the time, have partner 1 give the time 1:00 o'clock. Partner 2 must set their clock hands to show 1:00 o'clock. If it is correct, have partner 2 give a time for partner one to set on their clock.
Repeat until all times have been correctly located.
4c. Intervention group will need the most direction. If help is needed with counting by 5's have a sheet of paper with the correct numbers written down. 5,10,15,20… Have each student practice reading the numbers alound to listen for accuracy.
Challenge them to memorize the numbers. Give each student a clock face that is filled in with the numbers on the clock.
Model for the students that each number on the clock matches with the numbers they are counting by 5. Write the number 5 in a different color outside the number 1. Show them the 4 little marks between the 12 and the 1. This will help with understanding of why the first number is 5. Write a 10 by the 2 and so on. Now have the students point to the numbers on the clock and use the newly written numbers to to count to 60.
5. This is enough for the first day of practice. Have students return to their places. Have everyone count by 5's to 60. Have everyone repeat, the big hand tells the minute the little hand tells the hour. Have volunteers stand up and demonstrate what 12 midnight of 12 noon would look like, using their hands. Have volunteers show 3 o clock. Ask if the students would
be sleeping at 2:30 P.M. thumbs up for yes, down for no. Ask similar questions to end the class.
Homework: Have the students take their clocks home and practice telling time with someone at home. Bring back tomorrow for a star on their journals.
Day 3
Before class make sure you have room for a very large circle to be drawn or taped off to make a gigantic clock face.
Begin by showing the class the One Minute Long Song . Have students take out their signed clocks and journals and award stars. Review counting by 5's, big hand tells the minutes, little hand tells the hour.
Today the class will participate in a living clock. Assign 12 students to hold the clock numbers, assign 3 students to be the big hand, assign 2 students to be the little hand. Depending on class size, you could have two clocks. The little hands stand behind each other with their hands on the shoulders of the student in from of them. The first in line will extend their hand to point at a number. The same procedure for the big hands. Have the students take their places around the clock if they are numbers. Have the hands enter the circle, clock and have the last person in line stand close to the middle. Have each number call out its clock name. 5, 10 15…and so on. Have at least 5 students write down 3 times each. One at a time they call out the time and the hands must align correctly. The students who call a time must check to see if it is correct. If correct the next student calls a time and the hands continue. If the hands are not correct, the caller must give hints to assist them. The hands will only have
two hints before the caller or teacher points them in the right direction. Rotate students to new positions as the game proceeds. Challenge the students to get x amount correct in say 5 minutes. Have a timer watch the clock.
Day 4
Administer the post assessment. In order to have a comparison to the pre assessment you can tell a story and have the students fill in the clock face with the correct time. Use the same ratio of 2 opportunities for hour half hour and 5 minute. Include a matching game for the vocabulary and a place for students to write the numbers, counting by 5' to 60. Be sure to include the questions about A.M. and P.M.
Wrapping Up:

I'm a bit confused. Do you sen dfiles from a Windows-share to your unix box
or vice versa?
> I can not find any limits in the documentation for Samba nor for Windows
> that limits file sizes to 2GB. Any ideas of what settings I am missing?
It usually not a samba issue.
Wich unix distro are you running? Samba Version might be of interest, too.
Some (older) file systems on Windows machines as well as on unix machines
are not capable to handle files larger than 2 GB.
When you use Win2k, the problem will most likely be the file system you use
on your unix box. Anyway, with a not-so-old distro, this should be
no problem as well....
Follow this link and check, if you run such an older kernel/file system.
I found this on the net:
(don't worry, it's in english language:-)
Ok, it might also be a smb client issue, but the file system thing
should be the best point to start.
