LESSER MEN MIGHT HAVE CRACKED AT THE prospect of following in the cleats of beloved quarterback Joe Montana. Yet last January, rock-jawed, steel-ribbed Steve Young carved out his own chunk of history by leading the San Francisco 49ers to an unprecedented fifth Super Bowl victory. Arm strength, rugged looks and a law degree aren't the only things that set Young apart, though. "I'm the Eighth Wonder of the World: a 32-year-old single Mormon," says the 6'1", 210-lb. great-great-great-grandson of church founder Brigham Young.
Single but not completely free. His girlfriend, Brigham Young University grad student Stephanie Weston, 23, rhapsodizes about his 'blue eyes and bone structure." And she likes her man in uniform. "That way," she says, "I can see his butt better." She's not the only one watching his passes. He regularly receives proposals in the mail.
Slowly he is getting used to all the attention. "Even today I'm sometimes shy," he says, "but being cheered by 80,000 people helps bring you out of yourshell." In keeping with his faith, Young doesn't drink or smoke—and he drives a Dodge pickup. When he wants to look spiffy, he says, "I clean up good." But he prefers a grubbier state. "Work up a good sweat every day," Young says, "and you'll get the very best out of your looks."

Artie Rodgers, Seismology Group Leader at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, was recently awarded a Fulbright Scholarship. In January he will be heading to Grenoble, France to study the relationship between topography and seismology with computer modeling at Laboratoire de Géohysique Interne et Tectonophysique (LGIT), Université Joseph Fourier. While at LGIT, Rodgers, will be using computational models of earthquakes and explosions to determine how free-surface topography impacts ground motion. The Fulbright Scholarship was introduced in 1945 as a bill in Congress by Arkansas Sen. J. William Fulbright. It called for the use of proceeds from the sales of surplus war property to fund the "promotion of international good will through the exchange of students in the fields of education, culture and science." A year later, President Harry Truman signed the bill into law.

I recently read an article that waxed eloquently about the virtues of urban farming in the U.S. and Canada, using the example of someone who was growing lettuce in the saddlebags of a rusted, old bicycle leaning against a garage.
True, this was the delightful handiwork of a resourceful and imaginative gardener, but the author got carried away and used this as yet another example of how the urban farming movement has a meaningful impact on the nation's overall food supply. As if four heads of lettuce really were going to have an impact on feeding the world!
First a little disclosure - I spend many happy hours in my half-acre urban garden attempting to grow raspberries, cherries, pears, apples, hazelnuts, kiwis, tomatoes, zucchinis, etc., with varying degrees of success where I once had lawns.
Unfortunately, natural maples (I also harvest the syrup) have matured and rendered my fruit trees unproductive in recent years. Furthermore, squirrels, groundhogs and birds, including goldfinches and the occasional wild turkey, share my harvest.
As enjoyable as my hobby is, highlighted by more tomatoes than we can possibly eat or preserve over six weeks, my efforts have little impact on our family's food requirements, although relatives, friends and neighbors do appreciate my fleeting bounty.
This year has been a disaster; a hail storm has left my veggies a tattered mess. Indeed, to compare my gardening effort to farming would be akin to elevating a stamp collector to postmaster.
Taking a look at the big picture of national land use places the movement in perspective. The U.S. landmass is classified at 2.1 percent urban and 19.5 percent cultivated farmland (pasture and rangeland are not included).
While the farmland is 100 percent dedicated to and capable of producing food, the urban landscape originally was selected because of a natural harbor or other factors usually related to convenient transportation.
Thus, the quality of the urban terrain often is marginal for food production. Indeed, the world is a better place where cities do not spring up on prime farmland.
Then there is the clutter of houses, schools, hospitals, roads, railways, office buildings, historic sights, universities, airports, etc., where nothing can be planted. Realistically, I would be surprised if the food production potential of the available urban land would amount to even 1 percent of that available on conventional farms using open fields, pastures and rangeland.
Then there is the question, "where are all those urban dwellers with the skills and the inclination to seriously grow food?" I maintain there has been plenty of hype and encouragement in recent years for city folk to get out and grow food. It would be surprising if there is a latent population of closet gardeners who might spontaneously become active and tear up their lawns and make a go with veggies or fruit trees.
It is doubtful if even this 1 percent of potential urban land resource could ever be used, given the lack of enthusiastic and capable gardeners.
However, it should be noted that in developing countries food security issues, land use patterns, the presence of recent migrants with farming skills and household labor ability are quite different than in North America and, in such an environment, significant quantities of food are produced in urban settings.
What about the sustainability of urban farming in North America? At any garden center there are mountains of topsoil available in convenient plastic bags and by the truckload. That soil does not just "happen." It once was farmland that forever has been removed from productivity in its natural setting.
For example, as my urban home is on a stony ridge, the original owners of the house brought in black soil by the truckload so they could have a lawn and plant some foliage and flowers. This is a classic case of urban land that was unsuitable for agriculture being made somewhat arable at the expense of productive farmland.
Another often overlooked factor with urban farming is the water requirement. The water we get delivered to our homes by pipelines is potable and from a sophisticated and costly treatment system that is has little excess capacity for irrigation.
For good reason, watering of lawns frequently is banned or restricted during dry periods. Furthermore, the gardener with the saddlebags (where did his soil come from?) and indeed all plants growing in containers face accelerated evaporation and require a lot more water to thrive than those plants growing in conventional soil.
Rooftop gardens for food production also are water guzzlers, given that the thin layer of soil on a cement surface requires much more than naturally provided by rain. This is because such a base for plants leads to higher soil temperature levels, accelerated evaporation and an inability to develop subsurface moisture reserves.
Yes, household grey wastewater is a potential resource, but how many homes are capable of capturing water from showers, washing machines and the kitchen sink?
As hobbies go, gardening arguably tops the list of activities that provide exercise, exposure to nature and a sense of pride in producing fresh nutritious food. As all human indulgences have some impact on the environment, the guilty pleasure of using some topsoil or water from the hose to grow a bit of food is perfectly acceptable.
However, the bottom line is that urban farming is a myth when it comes to being a significant contributor to the nation's food supply.
Gardeners everywhere - just get out there and enjoy yourselves and the bounty of your efforts. The burden of feeding the world, or even your community, should not be your concern.
Hladik grew up on a farm in western Canada and was an active farmer into his early adult years. He recently published "Demystifying Food from Farm to Fork." See foodfarmfork.authorsxpress.com for more information.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) - A downpour on the final hole only delayed the inevitable Sunday. Jose Coceres wasn't going to let Davis Love III or even some nasty weather spoil his first trip to Disney World and a special treat for his mother.
The 38-year-old Argentinan pulled away from the pack with three straight birdies at the turn and never gave Love or anyone else much of a chance thereafter, closing with a 4-under 68 to win the National Car Rental Classic.
It was the second victory of the year for Coceres, a former caddie who learned to play golf by using branches and rocks in his tiny village outside Chaco.
He finished at 263 for a one-stroke victory over Love, who had a 66 but was haunted by blown opportunities on the back-nine par-5s.
Jerry Smith had a 63 and tied for third, giving him more than enough money to secure his card for next year.
Coceres, the first international player to win at Disney, earned $612,000 and became the ninth multiple-winner on the PGA Tour his year, both victories after a delay. In April, he had to return Monday morning to win a playoff at Hilton Head over Billy Mayfair.

6 Service Industry Code Words They Don't Want You to Know
#3. ID-ten-T
Most of you probably don't need help getting your computer fixed. Computers in general have gotten a lot more reliable over the past 10 years, and thanks to the Googles, it's now possible to self-diagnose and fix most issues when they do come up. But that wasn't always the case, and especially in workplace settings, non-technical (re: old) people often needed help from the IT department to get their computer fixed. If the IT tech on call was a real dillbag, they might have mentioned that the computer had an ID-ten-T error, which sounds very technical and very bad.
KatarzynaBialasiewicz/iStock/Getty Images
"Will it ever porn again?"
But when "ID-ten-T" is written out as "ID-10-T," we see what this dicknose of an IT tech was actually saying. They were calling this person an idiot, presumably for wasting their time with a problem that was easily solved. Now, that person very well may be an idiot ...
Michael Bellsmith/iStock/Getty Images
"Is it maybe the firewall? I read that word in the newspaper once."
... and indeed the Internet is full of stories of poor beleaguered IT techs having to answer very, very stupid questions about computers. But that's their fucking job, and actively insulting their customer in front of them is pretty obnoxious. Also, "ID-10-T" is an idiot's code, a thousand times less clever than it seems, as are its dorky cousins like "RTFM" (Read the Fucking Manual) and "PEBCAK" (Problem Exists Between Computer and Keyboard). If you ever hear one of these spoken over your shoulder, you can be pretty sure you're speaking with a dick.
Purestock/Getty Images
"My computer runs on smugness. Does yours? I didn't think so."
#2. Bob
This is another one that shows up in grocery stores, although if you hear it, there's no reason to run in fear for your life. Just in fear of justice.
decisiveimages/iStock/Getty Images
I've noticed that an alarming number of my columns end with people fleeing justice. I'll admit it; it's a worry.
The way this one goes is a cashier innocuously asks their bagger or another cashier if they've "seen Bob." But they're not talking about some dude or an unpopular Microsoft operating system (surprisingly), but are in fact asking their co-worker to check the "bottom of basket," the lower part of your shopping cart, which is hard for a cashier to see. Basically, they suspect you of trying the old shoplifting technique of "forgetting" something in the bottom of your shopping cart.
Purestock/Getty Images
"Were you going to pay for the $80 worth of Fudgsicles down there, sir?"
This is actually a serious drain on grocery store bottom lines: Studies have shown that the hilariously named "BOB losses" actually cost a grocery store $6 to $10 per lane each day, which adds up quickly. So the stores take it seriously, but use the cute code words so they don't get caught accidentally accusing their regular customers of theft.
Purestock/Getty Images
"I was going to pay for them, actually. I just couldn't lift them up there because of my crippling diabetes."
#1. Koch's Disease
Doctors have a massive advantage when it comes to speaking in code, in that they essentially already speak in code all day, with a vocabulary that is miles beyond what most of their "customers" have. While they often have an interest in making themselves clear to their patients, they can quickly switch to technical terms or jargon if they need to speak with another doctor without the patient knowing what's going on, or to simply sound less frightening. "Koch's disease" is just one example of this -- another term for tuberculosis some doctors use when discussing a case without wanting to alarm the patient or their relatives.
tetmc/iStock/Getty Images
"You have acute cerebral vacancy."
"Is it serious?"
"Well, you certainly won't feel any pain."
"Thank golly!"
And that's when the doctors are speaking to their patients, and presumably being respectful to them. This is not always the case. Doctors have a notorious reputation for dark humor, which can include using some shockingly disrespectful terms to refer to their charges. "Beemers" can mean "obese people" (as in BMI). "Frequent flyers" can refer to people who keep visiting emergency rooms. "FTDs" can mean "failure to die," for people who have lived, annoyingly so.
tetmc/iStock/Getty Images
"So you're still here, huh?" -20 second sigh-
In their defense, doctors deal with death and intense pressure every day, and they have every right to use humor as a release. And sure, an individual sick person deserves respect, but if you had to deal with a hundred of them a day, yeah, they might lose a smidge of their unique humanity in your eyes and the eyes of your colleagues. These kinds of cruel labels seem to get used a lot by people in stressful occupations, soldiers being the most obvious comparison. So if you do overhear one of these labels while visiting a hospital, know that the doctor saying it isn't necessarily a cruel, unfeeling maniac.
She just hates you.

On the other side of the issue was billionaire Harold Simmons and his company Waste Control Specialists LLC, which stood to gain millions of dollars from accepting out-of-state shipments. Simmons had donated over $1 million to Perry's gubernatorial campaigns. Bobby Gregory, owner of a wildlife ranch and landfill company south of Austin, had opposed a plan to let 36 states send nuclear waste to a 1,338-acre site in Andrews County. . .

Tennessee Tech assistant coach Russ Willemsen will be named an assistant coach on South Alabama's men's basketball staff, AL.com has learned.
Willemsen takes the spot on Matthew Graves' first South Alabama staff created when Ronald Nored, an Alabama native and former Butler player, left the Jaguars' program to accept a job with the Boston Celtics' Developmental League team in Maine recently.
The official announcement of Willemsen's hiring is expected soon. Paperwork must first be completed before the school can announce his hiring. No one with the Jags' program was available for comment on Willemsen's hiring.
A Lee University graduate where he was the team's manager for three years before moving up to become a student assistant coach, Willemsen is a native of the state of New York. He has spent the past eight seasons at Tennessee Tech, seven of those as an assistant coach. He spent the 2011-12 season as the program's director of basketball operations.
He is 31 years old.
Graves took over as the Jags' head coach in March after a season in which Ronnie Arrow abruptly retired a few games into the season and assistant Jeff Price took over as interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
This will be Graves' first season as a college head coach and other than Willemsen he has hired Darnell Archey and Dan Matic as assistant coaches. Chris Coker serves as the Jags' director of basketball operations.

Ah, yes, back to the bridge and Atrium wings to check out the Comm Array. Follow the path back into the Atrium. Stop at the Store if you need ammo (for the upcoming fight ahead, it's good to have weapons with "normal" bullets like the Pulse Rifle), and having a Stasis Pack or two wouldn't hurt, either.
Main Atrium
Head towards the center elevator as indicated on the nav path. As you approach, explosive mutants will shamble in from around the corners. Start firing at their volatile sacs, attempting to blow up multiple ones at once. Don't forget to check behind you! When you've destroyed enough of those, three of the tall-and-dark mutants come in, along with a crawler. Keep your distance and hit them with stasis when they're close together, then unload on them. When all is calm, the lights and doors return to normal and you can take the elevator up -- to Level 03, in this case.
Keep all the mutants together in the Atrium so you can more efficiently shoot and/or stasis-freeze them.
Level 03
Pick up some items/ammo off to the left, then cross the hall to the Save Station and save. Down the corner is one of those wall monsters. With no easily accessible explosive canisters, And around the corner from that is another wall monster! But this time you can use the corner to your advantage, sticking close to the wall and firing. You'll more likely avoid the shots from the baby monsters from that point. Just make sure to kill the wall monsters before you enter the large door to the Comm Array.
It's slow-going when killing the wall monsters, but it's necessary to avoid death. As usual, slice off all the limbs. (*Actually, it's far easier to fire one mine from the Line Gun right near this guy. Duck back where he can't see you so that he won't continue to spit those tentacle jerks out!*)
Comm ArrayThe hall on the other side of the door introduces a new monster: a very tall and skinny one that is nearly invincible. In reality, it just takes a bunch of hits, though you can get a valuable Ruby Semiconductor from it. On the flip side of that, though, it spawns a few extra-slithery monsters after dying. Around the corner is the door to Comm Array, but it's blocked by debris that you'll have to toss out of the way with kinesis. So, if you're not the daring type, stasis-freeze the monster and get the garbage out of the way, then head through the door.(stasis freeze the monster, one hit in the head and one to the hip with a force gun and he's done, then use a saw or flamethrower on the little guys that pop out)
Prepare to use some kinesis trickery to get this furniture out of the way.
On the other side is another Save Station, a Bench, and the elevator leading up to the door.
On the next level and through the door, you'll have to get on another gondola. But this is an easy, high-speed trip down the tunnel. But before shuttling off, grab a Power Node on the left wall. Have a nice ride!
Once you're in the Comm Array, you'll see that it is, in fact, offline. Explore the room and you'll find the Medium Air Can Schematic for the Store, and in the next door, you'll find a bunch of lockers with more good stuff (a Gold Semiconductor, Power Node and Med Packs, at least -- always appreciated).
Head into the main Comm Array chamber; a zero-g room with a lot of broken comm dishes in the center. Before you dive in, hang out at the edge of the doorway and fire at the crawling mutants you see -- a couple will eventually come up and join you anyway.
The big puzzle to solve in here is to pull out all the destroyed (red-trimmed) dishes and move all the functional (blue-trimmed) ones into the center circle, thus restoring the power. It's a lot of pulling and tossing, but you can keep track of your progress via the large orange map on one of the walls -- the green dots on the map are activated blue dishes. So, again, arrange them in the circle and you're on the way to success.
Get the blue dishes arranged in a circle to get the power flowing again.
Once the power's back online, return to the control room above the array and switch on the panel. After intercepting a radio message, you're free to leave. There's still one more thing to do, though. Head back through the halls towards Cannon 48 -- it's a straightforward path there, but beware of at least one mutant encounter on the way there.
Cannon 48 Room
Sit yourself in the cannon and get ready to save the ship again, this time defending it from a giant Leviathan-type monster that grabs pieces of the hull and throws it towards you. Focus your fire on the yellow sacs on the tentacles, and fire at any debris that gets close. The good news: the cannon won't overheat this time, (*Bad news actually. Because it does overheat. So be weary. Also, it's smart to start on one end of the monster and make your way to the other end.*) and it's harder to be surprised by projectiles due to the closeness of the monster, so this shouldn't go too badly.
Concentrate on the tentacles to keep the hull safe.
After blowing off all the tentacles, the monster dies and floats into the dark abyss. And then the USG Valor floats into view, about to crash into the ship. This is a story sequence, so all you can do is sit and watch. After the impact and the screen goes white, Isaac recovers. You're done here on the bridge, so all that's left is to return to the tram.
Though when you return to the Main Atrium, you'll encounter another one of those new lanky monsters. As before, stasis-freeze it and run past it if you want, then continue forward. It should be a nice straightforward run to the tram after that.
Freeze this guy and then run if you'd rather not deal with him.

The legendary former Detroit Tigers left-handed pitcher and World Series MVP isn't afraid to hold back. He holds his former club near and dear to his heart, but tells it like it is in an age of politically correct interviews.
And don't get Lolich — who was in Davison on Thursday night to sign autographs at the new Menard's store — started on pitch counts. He's a guy who pitched over 300 innings for four consecutive seasons.
"One hundred pitches?!" he exclaimed. "God, I never got loose until 140. And these stupid radar guns. Why do they take guys out at 100 pitches? Because his fastball was 95 and now it's 91? They think, 'Oh, now he's getting tired.' They overanalyze nowadays."
Lolich said a pitcher's true skill becomes evident when they're "tired," because it forces them to "become a pitcher."
Today's baseball metrics are said to be sure signs of progress, measuring a player's ability in a myriad of scenarios. In Lolich's prime, when "baseball was baseball," such statistical gauges weren't needed, he says.
"I'm a firm believer a pitcher should throw strikes," he said. "When I say 'throw strikes,' I mean he goes after the hitter."
Lolich's formula was simple. His first three attempts were intended to be strikes. If his third was a ball, he'd go back to Plan A.
"If I had
to throw one right down the middle, go ahead and hit it. I dare you,"
said the Tigers' all-time leader in strikeouts (2,679). "You have to
challenge the hitters. You can't nibble at the corners. Go after them.
Today, pitchers are starting to do that. Many times, I'd throw one right
down the middle of the plate, belt-high, and say, 'Here, hit it.'"
Lolich said "85 percent" of hitters either don't swing, or connect, with a pitcher's initial offering. Going to the heart of the plate was his instinct.
"Why play with them on the first pitch?" he said.
Much has been said about the Tigers' current pitching staff. With Justin Verlander fresh off his second career no-hitter, Max Scherzer among league leaders with six wins and Rick Porcello regaining confidence, Lolich believes the Tigers have a solid three-man nucleus.
"I think the Tigers have an excellent pitching staff," said Lolich. "They have three real good starters and two other guys that fill in at the end."
But is a five-man rotation too much? When Lolich was in his prime with the Tigers, he said four starters were plenty.
"I don't believe in a five-man pitching staff, but this is modern-day baseball," he said. "I'm a firm believer, always have been, going back to the days I pitched, that the more you pitch, the better you are. Your arm is stronger. You have a better feel for the ball."
Lolich, who was the 1968 World Series MVP by virtue of winning three games against the St. Louis Cardinals, feels MLB staffs could benefit from reverting to the old formula.
"In our day, when you had a four-man pitching staff, you pitched every four days, which I consider prime time to go out and pitch," said Lolich.
Throwing every fourth day had pitchers "mentally and physically prepared" for their opponents, he added. "You pitch every four days, no matter what."
As the Tigers' ace, Verlander has recently been lost in the five-man shuffle. Instead of going on the fifth day, he's pushed back to the sixth due to weather postponements.
"That's not right," said Lolich. "That's your big gun. He's the guy that's going to win."
He's yet to reach 100 wins, but Verlander is widely considered to have the potential to be one of Detroit's all-time greats on the mound. Lolich has been impressed with Verlander's five-year run, but doesn't want to get ahead of himself.
"That's the big question," Lolich said. "You don't know how long a pitcher will survive. As far as now, he's probably the best pitcher - do I want to say in the American League? I don't know. But he's pretty darn good."
Lolich spent four years in the Tigers' farm system before being called up in 1963. From there, he etched his name in the club's history books and helped bring a World Series to town during his 13-year tenure. He pitched for the New York Mets in 1976 before a two-year run with the San Diego Padres, which ended in 1979.
"I'm a Tiger," he said proudly. "When I retired from
baseball, I continued to stay in the Detroit, Michigan area. I'm a
Tiger, that's all there is to it. I don't think about those other teams
too much."

Ponting delighted to level matters
Ricky Ponting is delighted his Australia team have given him the chance to address the major blot on his captaincy CV, following victory over England in the fourth npower Test.
The Ashes defeat four years ago still rankles with Ponting, so the innings-and-80-run win has provided the chance to avenge that loss by retaining the urn once more.
Pace trio Mitchell Johnson, Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus shared 17 wickets at Headingley Carnegie and Marcus North was named man of the match for his second hundred of the series.
Just about every other member of the team also contributed positively to see off England and level the series at 1-1 heading to the Brit Oval.
"It's a chance that I've been waiting for all tour," Ponting said. "The chance that the whole team has been waiting for.
"After we lost at Lord's we've been wanting to play well and win again to get back to 1-1.
"We needed to win this game to get things back to level pegging.
"I've said from the start how much it would mean to me to win here and it's exactly the same for every other guy on this touring squad at the moment.
"We've been waiting for this moment to come around and now that we've got things back on track and are playing good cricket then we're all very excited about it.
"It's going to be a very special week for us next week."
The sense of superiority displayed by Australia in a little more than seven sessions in Leeds came against an England team who headed into the final day of the Edgbaston Test a week ago confident of going 2-0 up.
The series-levelling triumph came on the day Justin Langer's leaked dossier on England's strengths and weaknesses was published in the Sunday Telegraph.
But Langer's former international team-mate revealed he learned little from the document.
"I've played as much against these guys as Justin has, so I pretty much knew about their personalities and the way a lot of these guys played," Ponting added.

Only one question. Ladybug, with all due respect, as hard as it is when it comes to your one track reasoning, if this was your "son" that was begged for help, attacked, tortured and suffered a painful, horrific death for 6 long agonizing hours, would YOU not want somebody to investigate and find out why?

Kozy, I wasn't arguing with anybody. I was just saying generally with all the usual posts, why bother on commenting as it just causes more of the usual arguments. I'm getting more and more where I just read all the comments on any given article or poll question and sit back and shake my head. On one hand I need some popcorn to further enjoy the entertainment, but on the other hand it's sad how this country is becoming more and more socialist. And it's amazing how many people out there have no brains to reason through anything.

...White House spokesman Jay Carney improbably and improperly claimed that the Rhodes advice was not "explicitly" about Benghazi but about protests throughout the Middle East. CNN's Jake Tapper called Carney's comments "dissembling, obfuscating and … insulting." He was being generous. Rice was dispatched to discuss Benghazi, which is why she was grilled about it on every show.
White House officials brought this House investigation on themselves. They could have avoided it by simply telling the truth. Unfortunately, that was too much to ask.
So here we are...

...A former deputy chief of mission in Libya, Gregory Hicks, testified last year his "jaw dropped" when he watched Rice blame the video. Retired general Robert Lovell, on duty at U.S. Africa Command at the time, testified last week, "What we did know ... was that this was a hostile action … a terrorist attack." And, last week, former national security spokesman Tommy Vietor when asked how the administration came up with its video tale replied that there were "guys quoted in newspapers saying the video is why they were there." So much for operating on the best intelligence...(CONTINUED)...

...Though White House officials say they were operating on the best intelligence available, they were willfully ignoring information that the attack was preplanned by groups with terrorist links, a fact that undermined President Obama's re-election claim that "al-Qaeda is on the run." Cherry-picking intelligence is a big no-no.
It took real effort for the White House to overlook the tsunami of evidence that contradicted its campaign talking points. Before Rice's appearances on Sept. 16, 2012, National Public Radio reported that Libya's president had told NPR that al-Qaeda was responsible for the "precalculated, preplanned attack." Former deputy CIA director Mike Morell testified last month, "Analysts said from the get-go that al-Qaeda was involved."...(CONTINUED)...

To summarize...
Here's why it's more than just poltics: An e-mail has surfaced from a deputy national security adviser to Susan Rice on how to characterize the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on Sunday news programs. He advised Rice, then ambassador to the U.N., that her primary goal was to "underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure of policy." The e-mail was redacted when the most-transparent-administration-in-history provided Benghazi documents to Congress earlier, but was found through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Democrats are furious that the House will hold a vote to create a select committee to investigate the administration's response to the attack in Libya that left four Americans dead. They know this won't end well...(CONTINUED)

I wish you hadn't said you were for the pipeline...now we'll have to read a bunch of postings from bug on the pipeline will only gives us one third of a job. And, it will cause all current and future oil to be shipped to other countries and it will cause leaking into a stream in Pennsylvania which will seep into the Gulf of Mexico and the Lake of Love in Brugge.

Oh-oh. Side issue again. I might have spoken too soon:
" Last week, Reid said he would be open to having amendments on the bill, including one that would have required a vote on the Keystone XL pipeline. Republicans asked for consent to add five amendments to the measure, but Democrats objected. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Reid was impeding on the rights of the minority by not allowing amendments to the energy bill.
"This is not the way to run the Senate," McConnell said. "The minority represents a lot of Americans, millions and millions of Americans. We're entitled to have our ideas debated and voted on in the Senate as well. Votes that we want to vote on, not ones that the majority leader picks for us."
(Full disclosure: I would be in favor of the pipeline)

Hey, separate issue, but Congress finally working together (and circumventing Obama).
"Frustrated that the administration appears to be slow walking a decision on whether to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline past the November midterm election, a bipartisan coalition of senators is rallying around a bill that would effectively brush aside the president and authorize the project.
Reid is no fan of the pipeline, but he is feeling heat from his own members to bring the issue up for a vote – possibly this week – provided Republicans agree to support a separate energy efficiency bill drafted by Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Rob Portman (R-OH)."
I guess that's 2 issues they're working together on.

I believe we were running guns out of Libya and into Syria. Quietly supporting al Qaeda in Syria, which we're now openly doing. I think they wished for that to be covered up. I also think the idea that it was a terrorist attack was the narrative to go with, since that's such an emotional narrative. But it also serves to deflect from the fact that we went into that country and disrupted a civil war--in other words, we were the terrorists. It IS a failure of our broader foreign policy and it certainly isn't just Obama's foreign policy. But I believe the public has the right to know these things, in hopes that someday we can rethink or foreign policy and stop isolating and bankrupting ourselves.

Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton, and the President all gave interviews and speaches, and condolence messages that were not true as it seems and decisions were made because of those speaches that were wrong, misleading and possibly affected an election. If Romney had been elected for doing this, I still would have demanded the truth...but it seems that the democrats don't care and there lies the difference.

Changes to the income tax law affecting consolidated groups
Download PDF
Download PDF
Bill Shorten Assistant Treasurer
Minister for Financial Services and Superannuation
CHANGES TO THE INCOME TAX LAW AFFECTING CONSOLIDATED GROUPS The Government will introduce changes to income tax law affecting consolidated groups as part of its continued commitment to maintaining the integrity, equity and fairness of the tax system. The changes relate to the way a consolidated group can deduct the costs allocated to some assets following a corporate acquisition. The changes implement the recommendations of the Board of Taxation for future consolidations and seek to ensure that companies inside corporate groups don't receive tax benefits, which corporates outside consolidated groups are unable to receive. "The new laws will help protect potential threats to revenue by putting a limit on the scope of amendments to the consolidation regime made in 2010," Assistant Treasurer Bill Shorten said. "This demonstrates the Government's commitment to maintaining the integrity, equity and fairness of the tax system." The changes affecting a corporate acquisition will depend on the time when the acquisition took place. This follows recommendations from the Board of Taxation's Report on the Review of the Consolidation Rights to Future Income and Residual Tax Cost Setting Rules and extensive consultation with a working group of tax experts and key industry bodies, including the Corporate Tax Association, the Tax Institute, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and CPA Australia. The amendments address problems in the policy proposed by the former Government in 2005 (and 2007) and enacted in 2010 that affected corporate acquisitions from 2002. The changes proposed today by the Government will depend on the time when the acquisition took place. That is, different changes are proposed for acquisitions before 12 May 2010 (when the law was passed by both Houses of Parliament), after 30 March 2011 (when the Board of Taxation was asked to review the rules) and the intervening period (the transitional period). Corporate acquisitions that took place before 12 May 2010 will be affected by the changes subject to the application of normal amendment periods. These changes are necessary to ensure deductions are claimed only when it was intended and will protect a significant amount of revenue that would otherwise be at risk. Changes for the period between 12 May 2010 and 30 March 2011 will largely protect taxpayers who made business decisions on the basis of the current law before the Board's review was announced. For acquisitions after 30 March 2011 changes will be made to increase certainty for taxpayers and apply a business acquisition approach in certain cases. Private rulings sought and received by taxpayers from the ATO, including written advice under advance compliance agreements, will stand. The Board recommended further investigation be undertaken on two issues: the treatment of liabilities under the consolidation regime and capping the tax costs allocated to certain types of
assets. I look forward to the Board's further advice on these issues when it reports on its post implementation review of certain aspects of the consolidation regime. The Board of Taxation's Report on the Review of the Consolidation Rights to Future Income and Residual Tax Cost Setting Rules is available at www.taxboard.gov.au. Details of the Government's response, which were developed in consultation with the working group of tax experts and key industry bodies, can be found on the Treasury website (www.treasury.gov.au). In addition to the changes to the income tax law affecting consolidation that I have announced today, the Government will also make changes to the operation of the taxation of financial
arrangements (TOFA) rules for consolidated groups. These changes will ensure that, for consolidated groups, the TOFA Stages 3 & 4 provisions operate as intended and that the tax treatment of financial arrangements that are liabilities is appropriate. The changes also address the technical issues raised by industry as part of the postâenactment consultation on the TOFA Stages 3 & 4 regime and ease the transition of consolidated groups into the regime. The changes will apply from the start of TOFA Stages 3 & 4 regime. Details of the changes can be found on the Treasury website (www.treasury.gov.au). Affected taxpayers should seek expert advice. Queries can be made by emailing email@example.com. The Government will undertake public consultation on draft legislation for these measures as a matter of priority.

Today's the day that many wrestling fans have been waiting for all year.
It's the Super Bowl of professional wrestling, and it's marking its 30th anniversary when Wrestlemania takes center stage at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
A crowd of 70,000 is expected to be on hand to witness the sports entertainment industry's greatest spectacle. Millions more will watch on pay-per-view and via the company's new all-digital network.
In its three decades, Wrestlemania has become a part of the cultural fabric of sports entertainment.
It's the one day of the year when everything in the WWE Universe converges in amazing fashion.
The show is loaded with the company's biggest stars, but the main event looms to be one whose ending could bring those thousands in attendance to their feet.
Anything less than a Daniel Bryan victory and a world championship belt around his waist could cause a riot in the heart of Cajun country.
This Wrestlemania is about a lot of things. History, tradition, glitz and glamour, and classic matches that will live on in wrestling lore.
The Undertaker's amazing win streak is on the line against "The Beast" Brock Lesnar. John Cena's legacy is at stake against the devilishly diabolical Bray Wyatt. Thirty stars will compete in the first-ever Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The Shield will do battle with Kane and The New Age Outlaws.
And there's plenty more in between.
But make no mistake about it. This edition of wrestling's biggest event is all about rewarding a sizable legion of fans who have shouted "Yes!" in every arena WWE has visited in recent months.
This Wrestlemania is about making it right and giving the fans what they have asked for - what they have demanded.
More than 15,000 fans were on their seats chanting "Yes! Yes! Yes!" last week on Raw. More than 70,000 fans will be chanting tonight in New Orleans.
It looms as a moment that could rival the deafening roar from the record crowd that packed inside Pontiac's Silverdome when Hulk Hogan slammed Andre The Giant there in 1987.
It could be - barring a miscalculation of epic proportions - one of those lasting Wrestlemania moments that will be remembered for years to come.
Bryan's popularity has risen like no other superstar in recent years, and despite WWE's lack of enthusiasm in pushing the unlikely star to the top, the fans have demanded it.
And WWE has too much at stake to ignore those voices.
Bryan was far from WWE's first choice as a company standard-bearer. At 5-10 and 200 pounds, the former vegan cuts a rather unimposing figure, and sporting shaggy hair and a scraggly beard to boot, is the antithesis of the more muscular WWE superstars such as Randy Orton, Batista and Triple H, the three men he'll have to go through to win the gold on Sunday night.
But it can be said that performers such as Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart and even "Stone Cold" Steve Austin didn't necessarily meet the requirements of "what a world champion should look like" in the modern era of wrestling. They all achieved their success, however, through perseverance, talent and developing their own unique personas.
Whether the 32-year-old Bryan will be able to flourish at those lofty levels remains unknown. But he'll get the chance.
And his launching pad will be tonight on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Hulkamania returns
An added touch of nostalgia will feature the 60-year-old Hulk Hogan, who returned to WWE earlier this year, serving as host of an event he helped popularize back in 1985.
Hogan has appeared on nine Wrestlemania cards and headlined the first event 29 years ago in front of 19,000 fans at Madison Square Garden. He teamed with actor Mr. T in a match refereed by Muhammad Ali.
Will Hogan play an active role in the show that could determine its outcome? That's one of the many questions surrounding the event, but one might surmise that the powers-that-be would use him in a more significant role than simply as a host.
"I guarantee you, his presence will be felt at Wrestlemania 30, and he'll make an impact on the show," hinted WWE exec and former world champ Paul "Triple H" Levesque.
How about an ending with the Hulkster flexing as Bryan thrusts his hands in unison with his Yes! movement?
To make things even more interesting, Steve Austin is in town, although it's not known what role he'll play at Wrestlemania.
Does anyone smell a Stunner?
Economic boost
The week-long extravaganza was expected to fuel more than $100 million in spending in the New Orleans area.
Out of the 70,000 expected to attend the event, officials estimated that 65 percent were likely to come from beyond a 75-mile radius. All 50 states and more than 40 countries are expected to be represented.
More than 125,000 will have taken in all the events surrounding the wrestling spectacle.
WWE estimates that Wrestlemania weekend generated $102 million from visitors to last year's event in New Jersey.
Over the past six years, cities hosting Wrestlemania have felt a $400 million cumulative economic impact, according to WWE.

I'm really a homebody type of guy, and I REALLY would've loved if breakfast was served, so that my woman and I wouldn't have had to leave the property for a meal, even though we didn't have to travel far. There was a faint smell as if someone was smoking in the room before we arrived, but eventually, our noses adjusted. After returning from breakfast, the smell came to us again, but our noses adjusted once again. It wasn't a strong smell at all, and wasn't much of a problem by the way. The bathroom was really nice. The bed was really comfortable, and I was really surprised at the size of the refrigerator. I loved that so much along with the mini kitchen. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves. It was a nice play to just ... get away, and relax. I'd recommend anyone to stay.

Troy Lee Designs is more than a helmet painting business, but as the TLD empire has expanded into a complete line of dirt bike racewear and casual apparel, it has always kept a blend of style, performance and safety. One of the most impressive examples is the Troy Lee Designs Blais Jacket. Named in honor of the paralyzed off-road racer and American Dakar hero, Chris Blais, this off-road riding jacket meets the needs of modern riders with the ability to accommodate a Leatt neck brace.
My first trip with the Blais jacket was on a trail ride aboard our long-term 2010 Honda CRF250R. Right away it was apparent that the shell is cut for a riding stance. I didn't experience any binding or limited movement, though I quickly heated up. The trails were wet, which made the waterproofing very welcome, but the temperatures were mild and I quickly worked up a sweat. I don't ride with a neck brace but was able to appreciate the feature nonetheless. Having the neck collar removed does wonders for the venting. Vents are provided on the arms, chest and back, but taking off the neck brace access is a great way to shed heat. When it's installed, the zipper operates easily and the rain flap over the top does its job without flapping in the wind. The collar is stiff and tall enough to rub significantly on the bottom of a helmet, which is annoying, so taking the collar off was preferred for all but the coldest weather.
I also spent considerable time in the TLD Blais jacket while driving side-by-sides. First I wore it for a muddy, cold ride during our 2010 Polaris RZR 4 UTV Test, then it went on a dusty two-day expedition through the desert in a Kawasaki Teryx followed by the 2011 Honda Big Red First Ride. At all three events, the jacket proved itself with ample storage from its eight pockets for spare gloves, a goggle rag, camera, cell phone and truck keys. Also, the zipper adjustment on the waist allowed the tail section to fit comfortably while sitting and resists bunching.
Aside from the slightly too-tall collar, the only other issue I had came from the waterproof zippers. They worked fine at keeping water out, but once they got a coat of dust in the desert they became hard to operate. I fully expected one to break, but they never did. However, I took care to wash them out as often as possible to avoid a major kink or failure. Velcro adjustment around the waist made for easy tailoring and the same goes for the wide wrist cuffs which quickly sealed up against wind.
As far as the extras go, the padding in the shoulder and elbows is appropriately light and reinforced stitching on the elbows helps in a crash. At first the patch on the left arm seemed a little goofy, but I came to love it, and so did everyone who noticed. The polyester mesh liner is comfortable, but this is not a particularly warm jacket – it's a shell and I had great success wearing layers underneath.
Overall the waterproofing is excellent, storage is ample and it's designed to work with a rider's natural body movement. These were the key features for me so the addition of neck brace compatibility only adds to the value, though it is one of the priciest off-road jackets I've worn. However, the styling is clean without being flashy and it would be a great jacket for long-distance or dual sport riders.
The Troy Lee Designs Blais Jacket is available at Motorcycle Superstore.

As Bon Temps's resident maenad, Michelle Forbes has been freaking out True Blood fans since she appeared naked in the road with a pig at the end of season 1. But, "I'm really very nice," she tells PEOPLE. "Everyone's getting so scared when they meet me now. I could kill show creator Alan Ball."
This season, her character Maryann used mind control to turn an entire town into lust-crazed zombie-like revelers with black eyes. In a recent phone interview, the actress talked about bringing a mythical creature to life (and into pop culture), hosting TV's wildest orgies (and a furry uninvited guest who showed up on set one day) and what's cracking open on Sunday's finale on HBO (9 p.m. EST). "It certainly went to a place that I wasn't expecting," she says. Caution: May contain spoilers! --Aaron Parsley
How was this role described to you?It just mentioned the more basic points of what a maenad is ... That women of this sort tended to run through the woods tearing children and animals to pieces, and they were known as the "wild ones" and the "raving ones." That was pretty much it.
Did that appeal to you?It did! It didn't necessarily line up with what was on the page and that was the exciting thing that sort of gets the hair on the back of your neck standing up. You start looking for a shovel because you just want to start digging to figure out what this riddle is all about.
What do you think of the current vampire craze?In this age of vampires, what I love about True Blood the most is that it's a post-modern take on it. Sookie Stackhouse series author Charlaine Harris and True Blood creator Alan Ball turned that whole mythology upside-down ... It's not just about vampires. It's about a lot of different things. And that's what I love about the show ... It's great to see the interaction between all these different creatures and humans.
Do you believe in supernatural creatures?Not really. No.
If vampires represent forbidden love, what, if anything, does Maryann represent? I think Maryann represents things going on in the real world since the beginning of time -- Woodstock, Paris in the '20s, the transgressive movement of cinema and music in New York in the '80s -- when were just really trying to shed all moral boundaries.
Well, you certainly shed a few. How awkward is it to film those wild orgy scenes?It sort of flip-flopped between very disturbing and just another day at work, as odd as that sounds. You just sort of get used to it and everybody was very respectful ... At one of the orgies there was this bunny -- there was a rabbit, who was just sitting there staring at us. We all kept saying, "Look that bunny's still there." And after about 45 minutes, I thought, "Maybe he's hurt," and I started to walk over to it and it took two hops and I was like, "Nope, he's just a pervert." ... He was pervy Peter Rabbit!
Tell us about Sunday's finale. What's up with that egg?What is up with that egg? I can't talk about the egg! All I can say is that it was so much fun shooting it. We had one hell of a time. It was pretty surreal at times. I don't want to say anything because I don't know what are expecting, especially after that last glimpse of that egg. It certainly went to a place that I wasn't expecting. ... You can't say that our gang didn't take a risk that is really exciting. All we can hope for in life is that storytellers take risks and tell the story that they want to tell and that they need to tell. I think that we did this. We took a risk and it's bold.

Want to make a quick, tie-dye-look shirt without all the hassle and mess? You can create a nice striped tie-dye t-shirt in under just 20 minutes with Simply Spray. Alyice Edrich shows you how.
- Simply Spray ® paint (your color of choice), 1 can
- White cotton t-shirt
- Rubber bands
- Newspaper or clear trash bags
1. Cover your work area with clear plastic trash bags (or newspaper) to avoid excess spray from ruining your furniture or floors.
2. Lay your freshly washed and dried t-shirt on top of the clear trash bags (or newspaper).
3. Starting at the bottom, fold your t-shirt like an accordion (back and forth in a zig-zag motion) then tie the ends together with a rubber band.
4. Grab your favorite color of paint and spray the front, back, top and bottom folds.
5. Remove the rubber bands, flatten the shirt, and let dry.
That's literally all it takes to create a cute tie-dye t-shirt!
Designer Tip: Make sure you start your spray on a scrap piece of material (as suggested per instructions), then continue holding down the trigger as you move the spray over the t-shirt.

This looks very easy to do with a large group of kids. They could even repurpose an old T-shirt instead of buying a new one.

From the impact of new and changing regulation, to creating new business models and strategies, to entering new markets, clients value the advice, expertise and experience KPMG firms bring to the critical issues that face their organizations every day.
Currently you can find our offices in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa and Be'er Sheva.
KPMG Israel's blog brings you insight, opinion and debate from our partners and industry experts.
On April 15, 2008 KPMG International declared the adoption of a global approach for dealing with climate changes, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and a green initiative.
Mining organizations need to adapt across the mining asset lifecycle, from expansion to closure, as changing economic, political and regulatory environment demand greater flexibility.
The Chemical industry's landscape is changing fast - global companies are developing or launching new products and services – and appear optimistic - setting sights on geographic expansion.
The global job search tool allows you to search available career opportunities within many of our 150 member firms worldwide.
KPMG's International Case Competition (KICC) is a chance for students to challenge yourself to solve a real business issue and an opportunity to meet new people across the globe.
The firm's audit approach is based on the concept practiced by KPMG around the world by which an audit is based on understanding the client, including the industry in which they operate, the organizational structure, internal control processes, etc.
Accordingly, the audit process does not consist solely of verifying the data in the financial statements with supporting documentation, it also includes analyzing the client's business risks in the business environment in which it operates. In this context, the audit team examines the objectives of the business and its strategy, and analyzes its business processes, the risks inherent in them and the related internal controls.
The audit practice provides auditing services to a large number of companies, ranging from early stage companies to multinational corporations operating in a variety of industries. This makes it possible to create specific areas of specialization and take advantage of economies of scale.
Industry Experience
In order to provide continuous added value by drawing the attention of the clients to risk focus points, ideas for improving controls, etc., the auditing teams specialize in the sectors in which the clients operate. The methodology practiced by KPMG member firms around the world is therefore based on providing industry-focused services. Accordingly, different auditing teams have diverse industry focuses. These focuses make it possible to create a database of industry best practices in various industries and perform benchmarking in comparison with other industry participants. Furthermore, this enables the firm to provide quality professional services, while ensuring uniformity and consistency.
A Customized Auditing Plan for the Client's Needs
The firm's lines of business structure and special areas of focus facilitate the preparation of a customized auditing plan for each specific client. This process helps to provide the following advantages:
• An effective and focused auditing approach – focusing on genuine risks makes it possible to focus on areas where the financial statements are exposed to the highest risk, while saving resources in other areas.
• Added value for the client – analyzing business process and examining risks and controls enables the audit team to spot both weaknesses and possibilities for improvement in the various business divisions. The audit thereby also serves as a tool with added value for the client.
• Quality control – improving presentations in the financial statements and in the accompanying notes to more accurately reflect the financial position of the business and its results of operations.
Auditing teams are supported by other services provided by various professional divisions of the firm.

Saturated Space Plus
User Stats
Profile Images
User Bio
Saturated Space is a forum for the sharing, exploration, and celebration of colour in Architecture.
Depth in architecture is idolised as pure, abstract, white, difficult to grasp, serious and linguistic, while whatever is sensual, eloquent, colourful and essentially non‐linguistic is ridiculed as superficial, cosmetic, vulgar, indecent, and even pornographic. Colour, operating directly on the senses is demonised and feared, with its legitimacy -although never its power- in perpetual doubt.
Through the research of this cluster we will begin the process of re‐evaluating and restructuring the frame of this artificial contradiction, instigating a ceasefire and bringing the two sides together. At an epoch-making moment of material and technological fecundity, in which the potentials for polychromatic design and fabrication are multiplying in ways never witnessed before, Saturated Space will provide the space to let go and run into the rainbow, all the while injecting a hit of sensuality into Theory, and getting colours to speak up for themselves.
Based at the Architectural Association in London, it is co-directed by Adam Nathaniel Furman, Fenella Collingridge, and Antoni Malinowski

How pregnancy centers help moms: Peg Mitchell's Guest Voice
I would like to comment on Regis Sabol's letter, "Letter criticism extreme, myopic" in the June 8 Erie Times News. Sabol was responding to a May 31 letter by Mark B. Morrow, "Column triggers argument."
I found out by reading Sabol's letter that I am, in his eyes, a "doctrinaire Catholic." I think his criticism and characterization of Morrow is "extreme" and lacks understanding. (I don't like "myopic.")
Why must we all think one way and be pro-choice to be politically correct? Why can't some of us be mothers who were taught, even in grade school, that life is the most precious gift of all and without it you can't enjoy all the assets God created when he created the world or the liberties promised by the Constitution?
I have a hard time understanding why those of us who found the time to dedicate some spare time to help with the educational work of organizations such as People for Life, the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation and the National Right to Life Committee are criticized for not going further to help young mothers after birth. Over the years, a few nuns, the National Organization for Women and Equal Rights Amendment supporters have criticized me in the same way.
I was a founding officer of a group in Deltona, Fla., that established a pregnancy center. The center followed our clients through birth and helped with clothes for the mother and the baby, got them settled in a good home if their families would no longer let them live at home, and helped them find a job to support themselves and their offspring.
We did not brag about this and it wasn't on TV or in the newspapers except when the center opened. We were happy when National Right to Life said there was one pregnancy center for every abortion clinic in the United States.
I'm sure if you would take some of my six adult children aside, they would reveal I passed up full-time commercial jobs because I would not be able to take care of my family and still be active in the pro-life movement. Chuck, my late husband, and I thought God's work came first. Maybe our children even resented that they did not have more of the "things" other children had. It would only be human.
Do you ask those who volunteer for the American Red Cross why they are not working for Easter Seals or the United Way or Feed the Hungry, etc.?
People like me do not consider the legislation that governs abortion clinics to be "punitive," as Sabol states. These regulations are so that women are not treated like the patients of Dr. Kermit Gosnell in Philadelphia. Laws that require doctors to show the actual development of the baby are for women and young girls who have only heard the Latin term "fetus." Before you have any operation, you as a patient have to read a variety of possible negative outcomes and sign the papers to make sure the surgeons are not sued.
We all are horrified by what goes on in other countries and the way women and girls are treated. For Sabol to say that Morrow is in a righteous rage to protect the unborn who have no voice, but that he is not concerned about the other horrors in the world, is unkind and unfeeling. The writer is possibly giving to himself the attributes of a mind-reader.
PEG MITCHELL is past president of People for Life. She is the mother of six and has seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. She is a Republican committeewoman in Millcreek Township.

What Makes Us Outstanding
The Middle School is designed to meet the unique stage of development of the early adolescent learner. Our interdisciplinary curriculum, the incorporation of technology through one-to-one computing, the support services for students and the many activities offered are all designed around the needs of Middle School girls. Interdisciplinary units are supported at every grade with learning outside of the classroom.
For example, sixth graders visit the Higgins Amory to enrich their study of medieval times, Capron Park Zoo to enhance their unit on biomes, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute to experience a hands-on approach to marine biology and oceanography.
As a seventh grader, you'll attend a Paw Sox game to give you practice with statistics. You'll also enjoy a visit to Trinity Repertory Theater to see A Christmas Carol, which coincides with your study of Charles Dickens and classic literature, and visit the Museum of Science in Boston to enhance your study of life science. Seventh graders also participate in the thematic National History Day competition, with the majority of students designing a website as the vehicle to display their research. Many Bay View students have been chosen to represent Rhode Island at the national level.
The eighth grade visits the Mashantucket Pequot Museum in Connecticut and Gillette Stadium at Patriot Place as part of your work with statistics and New York City to celebrate the end of your Middle School experience.
Our Middle School utilizes one-to-one computing, interactive white boards and Google Apps to support the curriculum by integrating technology into the subject areas. Research, presentations, websites, and the collaborative sharing of work between students and teachers are all incorporated into the curriculum.
IXL Math gives you the opportunity to review and practice your math skills and to advance at your own pace, and Gizmos allows teachers to demonstrate scientific concepts virtually.
Latin has been introduced in the sixth and seventh grades. The focus on the language, the literature, and the history of Latin enhances the already rich historical and cultural components of our Middle School curriculum.
All students have the opportunity to pursue robotics by joining the S.M.A.R.T. robotics team, a nationally recognized team of students in grades five through eight.
Student support services are provided by a full-time guidance counselor and the school nurse. The counselor's classroom activities are designed to enhance self-understanding and to decrease relational aggression. She closely monitors the girls' peer relationships and meets with the team of teachers on a weekly basis to monitor students' progress. In addition, the counselor provides students and parents with support when they experience the conflicts and struggles faced by girls in early adolescence.
The Middle School also enjoys many spirit building activities. Roller skating in the fall, bowling in the spring, Middle School dances, Father/Daughter and Mother/Daughter events, and the middle school barbecue are a few of the many opportunities to socialize. Attendance at the Middle School Diocesan Youth Conference and participation in Liturgy and prayer services nourish your faith life. Interscholastic sports, instructional sports, performance opportunities, mock trial and robotics competition teams, student ambassadors and club memberships enrich your Middle School experience.

Cowlishaw: Here is my early prediction for the Cowboys this season....
Columnist Tim Cowlishaw answered questions in a chat on Thursday. Here are some highlights.
The Cowboy fan barflies are really in the funk. Tony Soprano is dead. Superman (Christopher Reeves) is dead. Staubach is 71 years old. One playoff win in the past 18 years. The 2014 Cowboy team has more "ifs" than a slick politician. Jerry is already beginning to announce his starting line up. This is great for sales but a real downer. Do you have a prediction? Will the Cowboys be better, worse or about the same in 2013?
I won't have a prediction until I spend a week in camp and make an exhaustive study of each practice snap and also attend the two games in Oakland and Phoenix. My early thoughts? A third straight 8-8. Hard to go higher. Could see them slipping but not much. Their range is 7-9 to 9-7 at the moment. In their favor is a great early schedule (to the extent that we ever really know much about good or bad schedules in the NFL). However, most teams feel like they have made some kind of significant upgrade either through free agency or the draft. Hard to say that with this team.
With the team feeling that bigger is better at OC and OG, why are guys like the "undersized" Kowalski and Arkin even on the roster?
Why do you want to be cutting players in June? You keep 8 or 9 offensive linemen during the season, you need at least 13 to 15 going into camp next month. You never know how a player might perform and what kind of early injuries can take place. Doesn't a lineman get injured in the first three weeks of camp every year?
So Witten says he will be holding the trophy up in NYC this year.
I think what you say to a crowd honoring you in Elizabethton, Tenn., is different from what you say to a bunch of microphones a month from now in Oxnard.
