Childhood immunizations important
By James Boger
Texas Tech Health
Editor's Note: In an effort to diversify health-related information provided by Texas Tech University facilities in Amarillo, officials with the institutions have decided to rotate subject matter for their weekly columns. Today's column is authored by James Boger, M.D. Boger is an associate professor in Pediatrics at the Texas Tech Medical Center School of Medicine at Amarillo.
As the time approaches for our children to return to school, it is important to make sure their immuniza tions are current. It is the responsibility of each parent to maintain accurate immunization records for each child and to obtain their immunizations at the scheduled times.
Childhood immunizations have resulted in an enormous reduction in childhood illnesses in the past 15 to 20 years.
Smallpox nearly has been eliminated worldwide. Polio and rubella (which causes severe congenital malformations) almost have been completely eradicated in the United States. Serious bacterial infections (meningitis) from Hemophilus Influenza Group B (HIB) have been significantly reduced.
But we still see sporadic cases of whooping cough (Pertussis), measles and mumps.
A relatively new change in the immunizations required for school entry is that Hepatitis B, a vaccine series of three injections, must be initiated prior to school entry.
A series of three Hepatitis B injections should be completed by age 12 in those children who did not receive the vaccine in infancy or prior to school entry. Hepatitis B infection may result in severe liver failure and possibly cancer.
Varicella (chicken pox) vaccine is available for children older than 12 months. It is not mandatory for enrollment in public schools, but is recommended for children who have not had the disease.
It is important to keep children's immunizations up to date. It would be a real tragedy for children to suffer from a vaccine-preventable disease.
Below are the minimum vaccination requirements for children in Texas schools: 2-3 months 1 dose polio vaccine 1 dose DTP/DTaP vaccine 1 dose HIB vaccine 4-5 months 2 doses polio vaccine 2 doses DTP/DTaP vaccine 2 doses HIB vaccine 6-11 months 2 doses polio vaccine 3 doses DTP/DTaP vaccine 3 doses HIB vaccine 12-14 months 3 doses polio vaccine 3 doses DTP/DTaP vaccine 2 doses HIB vaccine 1 dose MMR vaccine received on/after first birthday 15 months through 4 years 3 doses polio vaccine 4 doses DTP/DTaP 1 dose HIB vaccine on or after age 15 months unless primary series and booster were completed prior to age 15 months 1 dose MMR vaccine received on/after first birthday 5 years and older 3 doses polio vaccine (including one on/after fourth birthday) 4 doses DTP/DTaP vaccine (including one on/after fourth birthday) and one dose within the last 10 years 1 dose MMR vaccine on/after first birthday. Children born on or after 9/2/91 must have a second dose of measles vaccine.
The following clinics offer childhood immunizations on a walk-in basis:
Coalition of Health Services, 715 S. Lamar Canyon Clinic, 911 23rd Street, Canyon Grand Medical Clinic, 1103 S. Grand Pickens Center, 1200 Wallace MOM Mobile, Wal-Mart parking lot, Canyon Wyatt Community Center, 1411 East Amarillo Blvd. Wesley Community Center, 1615 S. Roberts Osage Clinic, 2221 E. 27th Palo Duro Women and Children's Clinic, No. 2 Hospital Drive, Canyon Southlawn Clinic, 4400 S. Washington South Plains Health Clinic, 824 Martin Road

Paul Runey isn't big on individual awards.
The self-effacing Bishop England girls basketball coach is grateful, but always humble. He can't – or won't – tell you how many wins he's amassed but is quick to reel off the assistants and players who won with him.
So as he accepted one of South Carolina basketball's most prestigious high school honors, it only made sense that the legendary coach deferred to his program.
"It's a great honor, but I've always felt kind of awkward about receiving awards," Runey said. "I've been blessed with so many great people who've helped win those games and titles. This is an award for Bishop England."
Runey was one of five coaches inducted into the South Carolina Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame Friday in Columbia. Since taking over the head girls basketball job in the 1984-85 season, he's won 591 games, including a host of region titles, a Lower State championship and two state championships. In 30 years, he's never had a losing season.
Friday's hall of fame induction caps a season that saw 27 wins, two all-state selections and a dominant march through the Class AA playoffs toward the Bishops' second state championship in three years.
"It kind of helps to validate where this program is," Runey said. "I know how hard these kids work to accomplish the things they have and this is as much for them as it is for me."
He doesn't come from a coaching bloodline, but it was always in him whether he realized it or not. Runey, 58, won his first championship at 12 years old, coaching a girls T-ball team to the Moultrie Park 11-year-old league championship. In eighth grade, classmates predicted each other's futures and Runey was declared a future coach of Bishop England.
In 1975, just a year after Runey graduated from Bishop England, legendary coach Jack Cantey changed Runey's life with an invitation to join the Bishops' football staff. Under Cantey's tutelage, Runey fell in love with coaching. Then a business major at College of Charleston, he switched his focus to education in hopes of pursuing a career in coaching and teaching. In the almost 40 years since then, he's coached baseball, wrestling, tennis and now serves as the school's athletic director and girls basketball coach.
"Jack was the perfect example of a Bishop England coach and I tried to learn as much as I could and apply that to my own career," Runey said. "It got into my blood. I never looked at it like a job. Being part of the tradition at BE has always been something really special to me."
Runey is one of just 49 in the SCBCA Hall of Fame. He joins longtime Burke coach Earl Brown, Gaffney's Mark Huff, Timmonsville's Perry Stokes and former Saluda coach Tommy Mitchell in this year's class.
When he first got into coaching, he didn't set any long-term goals. As the awards and milestones racked up over the years, things have come into perspective for him, but he still doesn't do it for the personal accolades. It's the players and new classes, some who are now second generation, along with the families, coaches and volunteers who keep him going.
"Even though we've been fortunate enough to be successful, I don't measure it by the titles," Runey said. "As long as I can make a difference in the kids' lives, as long as they're better than when they entered, then I'm accomplishing my goals."

Borderless Movements from Political Action to People Free MobilitySession Organizer
Aide ESU, University of Cagliari, Italy, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
Since the dynamics of globalization have compressed space and time, we are witnessing an enhancement of protest political and cultural movements, characterized by a transnational communication and innovation in self-organization. A mix of free communication with mobile phones, Social Networks and You Tube and the occupation of urban space to debate and share ideas created a hybrid public space of freedom. These events might be interpreted as the first manifestation of a civil sphere where the subjective aims are expressed by claiming personal rights, pursuing the need to choose an individual destiny.
The Tunisian upheaval, "the search for dignity", as a reaction to autocracy epitomized (rapidly disseminate in the Arab world) the hope for change and a dream for a better life fuels also a new migration dynamic. The search for a better life is looking also for a freedom of movement, even if this means to be in the first stage of undocumented migration, under control of the surveillance power. Crossing the Mediterranean sea, perceived as free-way to the new world, put migrants lives at risk through unsafe journey. Wars and refugee movements in the 20th century played a crucial role in the development of borders, citizenship, new methods of administration, and criteria for determining belonging. Reflecting on the movements of displacement during the past 15 years period in the Mediterranean "open border" reveals how a number of different types of exclusivist/protectionist policies have developed a corresponding determination of categories for inclusion and exclusion.
More recently people, coming from a borderless movement, are at the core of undocumented migration experiencing the displacement, to be dispossess of their land of departure rights and be under the rules of the landing territory; enlightens the understanding of homeland and space that challenges the power of states to determine belonging and sentiment.

Latin American Social Movements in Comparative and Transnational PerspectiveSession Organizers
Maria da Gloria GOHN, State University of Campinas, Brazil, email@example.com
Manuel Antonio GARRETON, Universidad de Chile, Chile, email@example.com
Session in English/Spanish
This session aims to discuss original research on social movements in contemporary Latin America according to their agendas and claims, forms of expression and organization and the use (and impact) of different technologies.
The proposal is to discuss these agendas, forms and instruments in a comparative way (both within the region and with other regions, mainly with the recent wave of movements and "outraged" in Europe, North Africa, North America and beyond) and in a transnational perspective (looking for networks, dynamics of diffusion and several types of mediations that connect resistances and movements located in different places).
Old or New Cycles of Contention? Anarchist Strains in Contemporary Social MovementsSession Organizer
Grzegorz PIOTROWSKI, Södertörn University, Sweden, email@example.com
Session in English
The session "Old or new cycles of contention? Anarchist strains in contemporary social movements" is aimed to present the recent anti-capitalist mobilizations from all over the world. The particular focus is on elements of anarchist critique and modes of organization that can be found in these mobilizations. Answers to questions of how the movements and the activists frame their struggles, what kind of protest repertoire they choose and how they organize can help to determine whether we are facing a continuity of anarchist-inspired protests or a new cycle of contention.
By focusing on the radical voices of grassroots groups opposing (neoliberal) capitalism a new perspective on the condition of the broader left can be presented, particularly interesting in the times of economic crisis.

Re-Thinking Urban Social MovementsSession Organizers
Carl CASSEGARD, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, email@example.com
Hakan THORN, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
Today when more than half of the world's population live in cities, and the social life of cities has become increasingly globalized, key social conflicts concern urban issues. As cities in both the Global North and South are upgraded to attract tourists, capital and the "creative class", estate values increase, and so does segregation, as gentrification pushes low income-groups towards urban peripheries. In this process, public spaces are also to an increasing extent being privatized and/or surveilled. For example migrant workers often find themselves at the heart of the contradictions of urban processes, as their labor often provide services demanded by urban elites, while they at the same find it hard to find a space for living in the city, often relegated to the margins of urban space.
It is against this background that we have seen the emergence of movements such as The Right to the City, the Arabic Spring, the Indignados, Occupy as well as struggles of shack dwellers, homeless people and other urban poor around the world. Through their issues, and/or their protest methods, they have all engaged in a struggle over the meaning and material resources of urban space and its' 'public-ness'. Surprisingly, however, urban social movements have hardly been paid sufficient attention in the field of social movement theory and studies generally.
This session is therefore a call to re-think the urban question, urban social movements and urban conflicts 30 years after the release of Manuel Castells' ground-breaking The City and the Grass-Roots. We ask for conceptual papers based on empirical research, addressing social movement theory in the light of recent social conflicts in cities. Considering these recent developments, to what extent does social movement theory need to be re-formulated – and how?
Social Media and Collective Identities in the New ActivismSession Organizer
Paolo GERBAUDO, King`s College London, United Kingdom, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
This session will look at the use of social media by social movement activists with a particular focus on the new forms of identification that develop in the use of these forms of communication. It invites papers looking at the way in which Facebook pages and groups, and Twitter accounts and feeds become a platform for the construction of the collective identity of new actors, by putting forward common names, common images, common slogans, and common imaginaries. It will question what is the nature of the new forms of identity that are developed on social media, what is their degree of coherence, permanence, and how they reflect the existential challenges of a phase of economic crisis, political transition and technological innovation.
Social Movements, Inequality and Global Environmental Change: Exploring New Actors and Evolving Institutional Frameworks at Multiple Levels of GovernanceSession Organizers
Anahita GRISONI, École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France, email@example.com

Deborah DELGADO-PUGLEY, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, France, email@example.com
David ROJAS, Cornell University, USA, email@example.com
Session in English/French
One aspect of the domination of and by the environment operates through its definition in the normativity advanced by institutions and public policies. Going against these trends, several actors on the ground propose alternative ways of establishing and understanding relations among society and the biophysical environment. While some of these alternative socio-environmental postures carry the seeds of new models of society, others convey 'good governance' concerns that challenge institutional frameworks movements deem defective. These socio-ecological stances, both individual and collective, can be understood through the prism developed by the sociology of social movements. Conversely, individual and collective socio-environmental actions raise new theoretical questions and suggest analytical strategies that may be followed in the examination of the evolving relationship between modern societies and "nature."
In this panel, we examine how socio-environmental movements challenge environmental institutional frameworks and governance strategies, and how, by so doing, they offer new insights that may be used in the sociological field to revisit theoretical and methodological approaches. Collective mobilizations around environmental matters are unusual in that their engagements are not limited or, apparently, not centred in "social" stakes. Their repertoires of action encompass issues that emerge from the relations that "society" establishes with "nature." Collective mobilizations underline the links between the social problem of inequality and environmental issues. They manifest through collective mobilizations (against the construction of major development projects such as dams, airports and highways); diffuse networks (such as those against shale gas exploitation or GMO crops) or shared individual practices.
These new social movements – which Alain Touraine argues emerged around anti-nuclear protests – were all similarly born through reflective engagements that bring to the fore subject positions and make it possible to posit new social models. Similarly, their claims are driven by a dual dynamic – which is contradictory only in appearance: on the one hand, they resist the imposition of meaning and of a model of society in which actors do not recognize themselves (this is sometimes interpreted as a reactionary and backward-looking posture). On the other hand, they display innovative capacities – both social and technical – and modify day-to-day practices. Meanwhile, at the global level, received wisdom about environmental change facilitated making the case for the creation and funding of national-level executive agencies with responsibility for environmental management.
This trend, established during the colonial period (Agrawal 2005, Leach and Mearns 1996), develops to the present day. How do social movements face evolving environmental institutions at global and regional scales? How do they try to gain influence in policies that shape the access to environmental and natural resources? How do governments relate to, and assimilate, local critiques social movement advance against external structures that aim to control the access and use of natural resources? What relationships are currently privileged between officials working in governments, international donor agencies, and non-governmental organizations [(NGOs)] and local actors? Which governance structures are accepted and fostered in the international arena?
We would like to explore the interfaces between society and governmental structures related to environmental issues and the place social movements take in this stake. At the intersection of environmental sociology and social movements – and drawing on the situated practices of social movements – this panel intends to opens new paths for exploring the socio-environmental problem of inequality.
Theorizing Social Movements and Expressions of Contestation: Towards a Global DialogueSession Organizers
Breno BRINGEL, State University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, email@example.com
Shujiro YAZAWA, Seijo University, Japan, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
For a long time social movement theories were practically synonymous of North American and European social movement theories. Although there was never a completely uncritical reception of these theories in Latin America, Africa and Asia, in recent decades the theorization of social practices and experiences of contestation of these regions has moved towards a more original, consistent and less Eurocentric perspective. At the same time, frames of interpretation and theoretical frameworks begin to move toward an increasingly global dialogue. Somehow, this is not unique to the debate on social movements and accompanies a broader movement in the social sciences.
This session aims to present theoretical proposals to interpret collective action, social and cultural contentious expressions and social movements, with emphasis on the Global South. However, unlike some contemporary interpretations, the goal is not discard "Northern" theories and experiences, but weaving a critical and global dialogue based on the consideration of the specificities of the local joints and societies; the diversity of political cultures and national/regional traditions of thoughts; the historical and spatial constructions of social conflict, and so on. Critical, reflexive and contextual theories are especially welcome.
Violent versus Nonviolent Strategies by Movements and StatesSession Organizers
Jeff GOODWIN, New York University, United States, firstname.lastname@example.com
Fabian VIRCHOW, University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf, Germany, email@example.com
Session in English
This panel will consider how the interactions between movements and states, and with other actors, shape each side`s choice of violent or nonviolent strategies.
Work, Subjectivity and Social MovementsSession Organizers
Daniele DI NUNZIO, Institute of Social and Economic Research, Italy, firstname.lastname@example.com
Antonio FAMIGLIETTI, University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
Work has no longer the central dimension in the society as in the industrial era. Nevertheless, it maintains an important role in the affirmation of subjectivity and in the paths of modernization. Contemporary age offers new opportunities for the individuals, especially considering the increasing importance given to well-being, knowledge and creativity in the working life. On the other side, there are many challenges to avoid the alienation and exploitation of humans and environmental life. At global level, logic of market seems to impose itself on the dignity and rights of workers, leading to a crisis of democracy and representation that accompanies the economic one.
This panel will gather empirical and theoretical contributions focusing on the meaning of work at individual and collective level, encouraging a multidisciplinary approach to the debate. Main attention will be given on the issues of workers` dignity and on the experiences of the workers movements in a comparative perspective.

A bowl of a savory vegetable and beef stew
leftover khorma curry
I am all over the place on breakfast! I am trying to subdue a rapid hunger between 12-3PM. At first I tried IF between 7PM-11AM with a big meal at 11AM but that seemed to just jump start my hunger. I ate a protein/fat rich breakfast yesterday at 7:30AM:
1 egg omelet with bacon
3-4oz leftover pork shoulder roast
Still, around 11:30 I was famished and it lasted for those 3 hours again.
I'm thinking it is habit. Boredom? I am at home right now without a job or school and the kids are gone all day. I need to get busy.
Not what you asked. Today for breakfast I had:
Decaf coffee with 1t ghee/ 1t heavy whipping cream
Wanted something bland, so had 3 egg omelette (no filling but plenty of salt and black pepper) cooked with coconut oil, with a small slice of butter melted on top of it, plus a big mug of ceylon tea (no milk or sugar).
egg scramble with bacon, ham, sausage, jalapeno, onion, bell pepper
Sardines. Boring, but at least I got some omega-3s first thing.
Nothing. IF day. :)
Yesterday was roasted bone marrow and a couple of fried eggs.
Hardboiled eggs and some sausage.
Bacon ends and pieces from my butcher, an over easy goose egg cooked in bacon grease and mixed greens to soak up the yolk.
Brussels sprouts sauteed in bacon drippings with bacon and onions, tossed with fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Craving that for some reason.


text: Einstein EMT TU2 (Tubaphon) Cartridge I'll start by stating that this isn't a comparative review and I haven't taken any measurements to back up my thoughts. It's more of an opinion piece on the above Cartridge. I don't have the luxury of comparing it like for like with other similarly priced items but hope to do so at some point in the future. Therefore please don't take this as definitive advice / fact but as my opinions and experiences with this particular piece of equipment. I also don't listen to Jazz or Classical music really so please take that into account. Right, now that I've disclaimed myself to death. here goes..... CARTRIDGE Einstein EMT TU2, also known as Tubaphon TU2 DESCRIPTIONB] This is a stripped down version of the well known EMT TSD / XSD 15 studio cartridge. Resourceful individuals discovered some time ago (early 80's I think) that shedding the stock protective body and headshell improved the sound of the EMT cartridge. To my knowledge the first in this country was Richard at Vantage Audio. As a quick advertorial, he will strip them down if you get hold of an EMT and want it done his details are at the bottom. 'TECHNICAL' The picture below shows the exposed body and semi exposed cantilever. I think they were originally available with a wide variety of tips, from the standard 'Super fine line' the Van Den Hul tip or the Spherical tip. Each one of these gives better tracking ability with a variety of recorded material: For tracking stereo grooves, Styi with tip radius of 4, 6 or 15 µm For tracking mono grooves, Styi with tip radius 25 µm For tracking standard grooves@78 rpm: Styli with tip radius 65 µm The SFL has tip radii of 6, the VDH 4 and the Sph 15µm. EMT manufacture alternative tips for their mono and 78 cartridges (1) This model is the SFL. To the best of my knowledge the Technical specs are exactly the same as the EMT cart. Weight 7.2 gm (measured by me on Clearaudio stylus gauge) Output 0.21 Mv Freq Response 20Hz - 30000 Tracking Weight 2 - 2.5 Gm (I prefer it at 2.0 gm) Impedance 2 x 24 Ohm FINANCE / PHYSICAL APPEARANCE The Cart cost me 700 Euros including postage. It was on E BAY.De as BNIB but did not meet the reserve price, I was the highest bidder at 590 Euro. I contacted the seller afterwards, he named a fair price and It felt right so I paid via paypal. A week later the cartridge arrived safe and sound. It comes in a reasonable looking box. The cartridge itself is well protected from damage and is fixed to the box body. Accessories are minimal but all you need. A small allen key, mounting bolts and a print out of the measured frequency response. (see the picture below) The cartridge tag wires are very fragile and the tags had detached themselves from the wires in transit. Soldering them back on was easy enough but required a bit of care and patience. If the wires had come loose from the body I would have been more reticent to do the job myself. The tag leads are far too long in standard form and will probably need trimming for most headshells. I just can't be bothered to do mine right now. SOUND To me It's awesome. I've been listening to my records all weekend. Everything sounds better, bigger, fuller yet better timed etc. I think each time I have changed a cart it has been an extremely significant upgrade. I am beginning to feel that the deck and arm are generally the limiting factor in getting the most out of a given cart. Moving from the Syncro and Linn basic+ to the SP10 and DV505 really helped the DL304 to sing. The DL304 is great value for the money in my opinion, not the last word in prat but consistent across the frequency range and no massive faults. The new arm and deck were great. Noise floor plummeted, bass was deeper and better defined and the timing definitely improved. Treble was clearer across the freq band, much less 'hash' at the top end. There was a clear and massive improvement. Changing to the EMT has wrought another and possibly even bigger improvement. I don't think it's the quietest cart but the sounds that come out of it are amazing. Bass Listening to 'catch a fire' by Marley and the Wailers, the bass on concrete Jungle is awesome. I can hear the secondary, lowest bass notes for the first time. It's tight when it needs to be (James Brown, 'Talkin Loud and Sayin' nothing) too. Mid Voices are sounding much more natural than they have to me in the past, even on vinyl. Belle and Sebastien, 'The state that I am in' and the start of 'Solid Air' by John Martyn are excellent. Even the interaction between the various members of the MC5 on 'Kick out the jams' sounds great! Instruments appear to be pitched just right too, can't think of any examples other than all the ones on Isaac Hayes 'Live at Sahara Tahoe' Treble It doesn't shout out to me but there seems like there is more of it, the soundstage has widened and the cymbals on The Stone Roses 'Breaking into Heaven' and 'Tears' are excellent. New Order 'Round and Round' is also fantastic. the synths sound great and the hi hat really kicks on nicely. The re0issued Depeche Mode 'Violator' is really good pressing, the atmospherics and high notes are presented just as they should be (IMHO). The thing that jumps out at me is the sound stage. It makes my modded Cambridge 840 sound positively anemic. Right now I don't think it is trading off the timing for this increase in information though and it seems spot on to me. The next thing is the detail that comes out. On 'Pat Garret and Billy the Kid' OST, you can hear Dylan, Steve Cropper etc fingering their strings and tapping their guitar bodies before they come into play. It has really got the music out of a number of really old and not too well maintained records. The difference in recording quality between 'Parachute Woman' and 'Jigsaw Puzzle' on Beggar's Banquet is interesting. Overall I've listened to shed loads of my records all the way through this weekend and have enjoyed every one. Stick a fork in me, I'm done. I think it's neutral but don't read that as 'lacking musicality', being tonaly 'grey' or 'unemotional'. I think I'm getting exactly what is in the grooves, or as close as possible at the price point I'm playing at. It is notoriously hard to demo cartridges and harder still to compare like for like. At the price of 700 Euro there are a few with good reputations. I can't imagine them being significantly better than this and have a suspicion that they won't be nearly as good. But I've no evidence as yet to prove this. I'd recommend a purchase at that price or lower but follow your ears and your phono stage to what suits you best.

Ligambi goes on trial Tuesday in Philly mob case
PHILADELPHIA — Potential jurors won't be asked if they're "Sopranos" fans when jury selection starts today in a Philadelphia mob trial.
A federal judge has nixed defense questions about whether jurors have formed opinions about the Mafia from books or movies.
The indictment accuses Philadelphia's La Cosa Nostra of gambling, loan-sharking and extortion under acting boss Joseph "Uncle Joe" Ligambi. But there's none of the public bloodshed that defined the family — and racked the city — in the 1970s and 1980s.
The FBI accuses the 73-year-old Ligambi of running the South Philadelphia-based crime family since Joey Merlino went to prison in 1999. Six co-defendants also will be on trial, while five others have pleaded guilty and three more await a separate trial. The jury will hear a timeline of La Cosa Nostra's activities during the past 40 years, under Angelo Bruno, Nicodemo Scarfo, John Stanfa, Ralph Natale, Merlino and, allegedly, Ligambi.
Defense lawyer Edwin Jacobs calls it unfair to compare Ligambi's alleged racketeering to the bloody reign of earlier bosses.
"By aligning the present defendants, who have not been charged with a single violent offense, with notorious past mafia leaders, the United States intends to instill fear in the jury and … (find) they are guilty of crimes far more heinous than any of those charged in this indictment," Jacobs wrote in his trial memo.
According to the indictment, the Ligambi organization controlled illegal gambling machines and sports betting at several South Philadelphia bars and clubs, and threatened violence to collect debts. But there are no murders or even shootings alleged.
The bloodiest scene described in court papers may involve Louis "Big Lou" Fazzini's initiation ceremony. Ligambi couldn't draw any blood with a pin, so instead used the ceremonial knife to prick Fazzini's finger, according to a 2010 FBI recording.
"The … blood splashed all over his shirt, my shirt," Fazzini, who pleaded guilty to racketeering this month, allegedly said on the tape.
The FBI describes him as a bookie with the North Jersey "crew" of the Philadelphia crime family, and said he'd been courted by the New York-based Lucchese family during a previous prison stint. But he sent word that he knew who his friends were — and planned to stay loyal to them.

Now Remember to Stay Out of the Corner, Ralph. Ralph?
The Wolgast Law is named for lightweight champ Ad Wolgast, who on July 4, 1912 knocked out Joe Rivers with a right in the 13th round—at the same moment Rivers knocked him out with a right. The ref declared Wolgast the winner because he "fell last." The fastest recorded KO, in September 1946, came when welter weight Al Couture knocked out Ralph Walton in 10½ seconds—including the 10-second count. Caught him in his corner fiddling with his mouthpiece.
Dee-fense, Dee-fense!
In surely the most dazzling performance in football history, Red Grange scored 24 points in the first 12 minutes of the Illinois-Michigan game on Oct. 18, 1924. He ran the opening kickoff back 95 yards, then made touchdown runs of 67, 56 and 45 yards, and a 12-minute gain of 303 yards.
And in the 46th Minute He Rested
In the Big Ten championships in Ann Arbor, Mich. on May 25, 1935, a year before his four Olympic Gold Medals, Jesse Owens of Ohio State tied or set six world records in 45 minutes. First he tied the 100-yard-dash record of 9.4 seconds; 10 minutes later he broke the long-jump record; 20 minutes later he broke the 220-yard-dash record; 15 minutes later he set a record for the 220-yard hurdles, and the last two events were also entered as new 200-meter marks. A few days earlier, he'd had a sore back.
Wake Me When It's Over
On March 4, 1976, in Toledo, Ohio, John Pezzin bowled the most consecutive strikes: 33. Spare us.
Let's Try Taking Out the Goalie
The fastest three goals in pro hockey were scored by Chicago Black Hawk Bill Mosienko against the N.Y. Rangers on March 23, 1952 in 21 seconds.
Mal der Meer
On June 11, 1938 Johnny Vander Meer of the Cincinnati Reds pitched a no-hitter against the Boston Bees—and his very next time out, on June 15, he pitched another no-hitter against the Brooklyn Dodgers. Now for the real news. On May 2, 1917 Fred Toney of the Reds and James (Hippo) Vaughn of the Chicago Cubs both pitched nine no-hit innings—against each other. The Reds finally won on two hits in the 10th.
And Some Ben-Gay for My Friend
The career record for most batters hit by a pitcher goes to Walter (the Big Train) Johnson, who smacked 206 batsmen while with Washington from 1907 to 1927. The record for getting hit belongs to Ron Hunt. Playing for various teams from 1963 to 1974, he was hit 243 times. Talk about sore losers.
Hey, Can I Play?
On Nov. 19, 1932, in a football game against Cedarville in Wheeling, W.Va., Joe Kershalla of West Liberty State scored 71 points all by himself: 11 TDs and five extra points. West Liberty won 127-0 but some folks still grumble that Joe was a ringer. West Liberty has no record of him as a student.
But Whoever Heard of Mancil's Army?
Palmer's a piker compared to some. The pro who has shot the most holes in one is Mancil Davis of Austin, Texas. He's made 47. And the record for most holes in one in a single day goes to the late Dr. Joseph Boydstone, who hit three, on the third, fourth and ninth holes of the Bakersfield (Calif.) Country Club on Oct. 10, 1962. Then, for balance, there is A.J. Lewis of Sussex, England. In 1890 he took 156 putts on one green and never holed out.
Why I Hate Fishing
The longest recorded fight between a fisherman and his quarry lasted 32 hours and five minutes. Donal Heatley of New Zealand hooked a 20' marlin weighing about 1,500 lbs. off Mayor Island on Jan. 21, 1968. It towed his 12-ton launch 50 miles. Then it got away.

Take it to the ridge crest or until you have a heart attack and die. Mileage: ~6 round trip Elevation Gain: ~4,400 with the ups and downs Trip Details: It only took 5 years since we moved into our house to actually go on a hike with my neighbor Chip (longtime lurker here but not registered yet). After this trip it might be another 5 years before he agrees to go with me again. Both of us had admired Mt. Baring from the Highway 2 on numerous occasions, and finally decided to try and get to the top. Chip invited his friend Terry along, who had been up Mt. Baring ~25 years ago and swore never to come back. Apparently time heals all wounds. There have been enough TR's on Baring describing the route, so I don't need to add much other than to say it wasn't as brushy as I expected going up, but it was as steep as advertised. It was even steeper on the way down. The walk along the ridge crest was quite pleasant. The gully still had a few snow patches with the transitions to/from rock getting quite thin. No snow encountered above the notch between the summit and south summit. We were caught at the summit by 2 other hikers who had witnessed a group of 6 base jumpers doing their thing. The jump spot is a bit below the actual summit. Another group of 3 hikers arrived at the summit a while later, and one of them recognized Soapy from my previous TR's. It was Man-inna-hilz and a couple of his friends. This is the second time in the last month that I have been recognized because of my small green hiking partner (raising2hikers on Dragontail). Eventually we decided to descend. We survived the descent, but there was a little slipping and sliding and landing on butts. We arrived at Chip's house safely, but I still had another 50 feet with minimal elevation gain to go. Dani had made cookies (yum!) and Jasper was excited to see me again.

Colin, Stephanie and the author had a nice trip. 3 hours 11 minutes to the summit, 2 hours 37 minutes down. All I will add is that, in terms of route tips, I would suggest that when you first hit the climber's trail after finding the small stream, stay to the left (east) of the streambed on the way up, but stay in the forest to the right (or descender's left) of the streamlet on the way down. It's definitely easier to climb and find good footing on the steep trail, but easier to descend with the more forgiving forest duff at your feet. Saw a few Yew trees on the way up. Never noticed any of those in the S. Fork Skyko corridor, so that was cool. I must also say that the final descent, coming down that sheer ridge approach, is absolute murder on the quads. It's been three days and I'm still hobbling around looking positively elderly.

Is this a false positive, where Maple is solving an ODE which is supposed to be unsolvable?
Accoding to http://www.maplesoft.com/compare/mathematica_analysis/Comparison_Maple_Mathmatica_DEs_Kamke.pdf and considering ODE 13
Maple 18.01 does give an answer for the above ODE. I verfied the ODE from the book as well. The answer returned by Maple is very large, but it does solve it in 195 CPU seconds. Therefore the question is: Is this a false result? Or is the above document have an error in it and ODE 13 is actually solvable?
restart;ode:=diff(y(x), x$2)-(a*y(x)^2+b*x*y(x)+c*x^2+alpha*y(x)+beta*x+gamma)^(-3/2);sol:=dsolve(ode,y(x)) assuming a::NonZero; #I get an answer with or without this assumption. The book has the assumptionodetest(sol,ode);
gives an error as well. May be this is related to the issue or not. Not sure now.

The Flyers' Ilya Bryzgalov dilemma
April 30, 2013
By Rich Hofmann, Daily News Staff Writer
ILYA BRYZGALOV performed his final stand-up routine of the season yesterday; please, tip your servers and try the caviar. It really was a Tour de Bryz. His target this day was the media. At one point, he said that perusing stories written about him - which he apparently does with a highlighter - often leaves him thinking, "Sometimes you're reading and it's like, 'Oh my God, who is this lunatic?' " But, he said, it doesn't bother him. "Not anymore," Bryzgalov said. "Not anymore.
Ilya Bryzgalov reportedly sidelined with virus
December 11, 2012
Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov was removed from Russia's roster after undergoing a medical exam, according to the Russian Hockey Federation's website. The national team plays in the Channel One Cup tournament in Moscow this week. Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren did not respond Sunday to a request for information. A Russian report indicated that the goalie has a virus. Bryzgalov, who signed a nine-year, $51 million contract with the Flyers before last season, has been playing for CSKA Moscow during the NHL lockout.
No 'Haterade' from Flyers goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov
April 2, 2013
By FRANK SERAVALLI, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com
After Alex Ovechkin's shot rocketed past Ilya Bryzgalov to give Washington a 4-2 lead, the goalie grabbed his water bottle and threw it at the Flyers' bench in anger. When Bryzgalov's bottle landed, orange Gatorade exploded all over the ice at precisely the time it appeared the Flyers were unraveling yet again. The one-timer was Ovechkin's ninth goal in his last 10 games. Was Bryzgalov showing shades of Cechmaneks past? Roman Cechmanek, also known as the "Bipolar Goaler," routinely and publicly called out teammates for mistakes during games, which often led to shouting matches.

When Ilya Bryzgalov is the most reliable player on your hockey team, things are either very good or very bad. You already know which way the Flyers have been going. They are a team with no clear identity and precious little time to forge one. As they have skated around in a fog through 10 games, the only real stability has been provided by their goaltender. Fans of irony will appreciate this more than fans of winning hockey. The fans in the Wells Fargo Center Tuesday night were enthralled by Bryzgalov's play.
Steve Mason ready to challenge Ilya Bryzgalov in Flyers camp
May 3, 2013
By Sam Carchidi, Inquirer Staff Writer
Ilya Bryzgalov, the wannabe cosmonaut who enjoys critiquing journalists in his spare time, cannot be blamed for the Flyers' failure to make the playoffs this season. The quirky Russian goalie was good, not great, and his overall numbers - a pedestrian 2.79 goals-against average and career-worst .900 save percentage - are somewhat misleading. Because of his team's poor defensive play, Bryzgalov faced an inordinate number of odd-man rushes and breakaways. Bryzgalov, who will turn 33 next month, was one of the league's true workhorses.
Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov poised for a turnaround
October 29, 2011
By Sam Carchidi, Inquirer Staff Writer
Ilya Bryzgalov apparently has found his way out of the woods. One day after he allowed four goals on 10 shots in a relief role, the Flyers' struggling goalie had his "swagger" back on Friday, according to Jeff Reese, the respected goalie coach and a man who has to be an amateur psychologist, trying to get the veteran back on track. The Flyers did not practice, but they had a team meeting at the SkateZone in Voorhees. Reese had a long one-on-one session with Bryzgalov, who has lost four in a row and has a 5.05 goals-against average and an .802 save percentage in that span.
Sam Donnellon: Ilya Bryzgalov's effort goes to waste
May 3, 2012
By Sam Donnellon, Daily News Columnist
AT THE START of this postseason, Ilya Bryzgalov was the question with no answer. Was he good enough to steal you a game or two or three? Was he flaky enough to sabotage one all by himself? It was a debate that seemed endless, and turned even the more rational Flyers fans into schizophrenics. So what to make of Tuesday night? Bryzgalov played one of those steal-it-for-you games, and the Flyers still lost. For two periods, he stopped shots, and rebounds of shots, and sprawled all over the place.
Flyers should resist urge to amnesty Ilya Bryzgalov
April 5, 2013
By Marcus Hayes, Daily News Staff Writer
ALL PAUL HOLMGREN had to say was, "Bryz is our No. 1 goalie, now and for the foreseeable future. " Words to that effect would have squelched speculation that the Flyers' deadline trade Wednesday for Steve Mason, a young, pedigreed goalie, might mean an early divorce from Ilya Bryzgalov. Instead, Holmgren said, "We see [Mason] as one of our two goalies, not only the rest of this year, but moving forward. We'll just leave it at that for now. " Of course, nothing concerning the Flyers gets left at that.
Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov livens up pregame skate
March 1, 2013
BY FRANK SERAVALLI, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com
IN HOCKEY, pregame skates are usually quiet - players twirling around the ice in an empty arena in an attempt to shake the doldrums of a night's sleep. Ilya Bryzgalov livened the Flyers' morning skate on Wednesday when he exited his crease and winged his goalie stick across the ice in apparent frustration. It was a routine drill, one the Flyers perform religiously before games, yet something upset Bryzgalov. It has been a routine practice recently for Bryzgalov, who has tried hard to stay out of the limelight after a less than flattering introduction to Philadelphia last season.

In the long run, Flyers will be better having lost to Rangers
May 5, 2014
By Marcus Hayes, Daily News Columnist
A THRILLING and glorious ride ended when it should have. Beaten by a better team, a more mature team with a greater understanding of playoff imperatives, the Flyers are a better club for it. They learned this, if nothing else: They have a chance against virtually anyone as long as they play with abandon. They will take penalties, but they will draw them, too. They will give up rushes, but they will get them, too. They cannot control a game as the Rangers did this series, as the Kings did in their Stanley Cup run. They can only play.
Inside the Flyers: New contract good for Mason, Flyers
January 20, 2014
By Sam Carchidi, Inquirer Staff Writer
To their credit, the Flyers learned from the disastrous nine-year deal they gave Ilya Bryzgalov. They announced Saturday they had signed goalie Steve Mason, who could have become a restricted free agent after this season, to a three-year extension. Mason will be paid $12.3 million, or $4.1 million per season. It's a good deal for the Flyers because it does not tie them up for an ultra-long period, like the $51 million Bryzgalov contract. It's also a good deal for them when you consider Mason's agent, Anton Thun, said last month he thought his client was comparable to Montreal's Carey Price, who signed a six-year deal for $39 million ($6.5 million per season)
Flyers face a bit of a dilemma with Mason
January 3, 2014
By Frank Seravalli, Daily News Staff Writer
DENVER - By the time the Flyers acquired Steve Mason last April 3, contract negotiations already were underway on an extension for the goaltender. In fact, it was Mason's agent, Anton Thun, who helped broker the trade between the Flyers and Blue Jackets. Mason earned $3.2 million last season in Columbus. As a pending restricted free agent, he was due a qualifying offer that summer for at least 100 percent of the same salary. Already spending a boatload on goaltending with Ilya Bryzgalov, it was clear the Flyers weren't willing to pay anywhere near that price for a goaltender whose once-bright future was slowly slipping away.
Flyers' Simmonds one away from team record
December 31, 2013
BY FRANK SERAVALLI, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com
VANCOUVER - Some mornings, like yesterday at the team hotel overlooking Coal Harbour, Scott Hartnell is envious of Sean Couturier. It's not that Hartnell wishes he was was a decade younger. His body just feels the destruction his rambunctious style of play has wreaked. "I was looking at Couturier today in the locker room. He gets to sit there, relax, watch the football games and put on his skates to go practice," Hartnell said. "I wake up, my shoulders are tight, my hips are sore.
Simmonds leads three Flyers on scoring streaks
December 31, 2013
By Sam Carchidi, Inquirer Staff Writer
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Claude Giroux. Jake Voracek. Wayne Simmonds. Hot. Hotter. Hottest. The trio has keyed the Flyers' recent surge, which has carried the team to a season-best 18-16-4 record. Giroux (eight games) and Voracek (nine) have longer points streaks than Simmonds (five). But Simmonds has scored more than one goal in each of the last three games, becoming the first Flyer to accomplish that feat since Reggie Leach in 1981. "It's an honor to be mentioned in the same breath with Reggie Leach," said Simmonds, who had two goals in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win in Edmonton, giving him a club-high 12 goals this season.
Flyers set to face Bryzgalov in Edmonton
December 28, 2013
By Sam Carchidi, Inquirer Staff Writer
The Flyers start a six-game road trip Saturday night in Edmonton and are expected to face their colorful, controversial former teammate, goalie Ilya Bryzgalov. "It's going to be weird," center Claude Giroux said with a smile. "We'll see" how it goes. "It's always a little different facing a former teammate, whether it's Bryz or whoever it is," defenseman Braydon Coburn said. "It's just part of this business . . . and you try to come out on the right side of it, competitively.
Snider looks to this Flyers season with optimism
September 15, 2013
BY FRANK SERAVALLI, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com
FLYERS CHAIRMAN Ed Snider said the sting of last season lasted until this week, when training camp finally pulled the curtain on a new one. The disappointment lingering from failing to make the Stanley Cup playoffs for only the ninth time in 45 seasons is why Snider, 80, took a hands-on approach this offseason. For the first time in a long time, Snider was at the Flyers' draft table in June when they nabbed defenseman Samuel Morin at No. 12 overall. He also lauded general manager Paul Holmgren's decision to add without subtracting, citing his excitement for the Flyers' "young kids.
Finally an offer for Bryzgalov
July 29, 2013
This is a post from Frank Seravalli's Frequent Flyers blog: ON JUNE 24, one day before his client was bought out, Ilya Bryzgalov's agent bragged in an e-mail to the Daily News that he had "half a dozen" NHL general managers saying they would "have [Bryzgalov] on their team anytime. " More than a month later, Bryzgalov has not yet found a home for next season. Last week, Bryzgalov was left off Russia's Sochi Olympic evaluation roster, even though he played for his country at the World Championships in May. Sergei Bobrovsky and 38-year-old Evgeni Nabokov were invited.
Simmonds likes changes in Flyers' net
July 12, 2013
BY FRANK SERAVALLI, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com
WAYNE SIMMONDS said yesterday he thinks the Flyers' goaltending switch from eccentric Ilya Bryzgalov to Ray Emery and Steve Mason will not help only on the ice - but also in the dressing room. Simmonds was asked this queston by Sportsnet 590 in Toronto: "Are you guys better off with Emery over Bryzgalov, just from a dressing-room standpoint and stability?" "I think it will help guys out," Simmonds said. "Nothing against Bryz or anything like that. When [Mason] came in last year, he played really strong for us. And you look at what Razor did with Chicago, I think we got a great one-two tandem there.
Giroux thinks he can live up to $66.2 million deal
July 8, 2013
BY FRANK SERAVALLI, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com
OVER THE last 5 years, Paul Holmgren has handed out $269.7 million of Ed Snider's dollars to five players. Three players, Jeff Carter ($58 million), Mike Richards ($69 million) and James van Riemsdyk ($25.5 million), were traded for one reason or another. One, Ilya Bryzgalov ($51 million), did not meet expectations. Bryzgalov's mistake was wiped from the books at a cost of $23 million over the next 14 years. Flyers captain Claude Giroux was the latest to sign one of those megadeals, scribbling his name yesterday to finalize an 8-year deal worth $66.2 million.

KOTTAYAM: The golden moment in the history of Malankara Syrian Church! According to the apostolic heritage of Malankara Church seven dignified priests have been elevated to the height of Metropolitan according to the canons of the Holy Church.
The seven candidates were elected to the bishopricate at the Malankara Association met at Sasthamkotta on February 17, 2010.
Consecration ceremony was consummated at the Cathedral of Malankara Metropolitan and Catholicos, namely, Mar Elia Cathedral, Kottayam.
Fr. Dr. John Mathews Ramban was consecrated as Dr. Youhanon Mar Demetrius Metropolitan. Fr. Dr. Nathaniel Ramban was called by the name Dr. Youhanon Mar Theodoros Metropolitan. Fr. V.M. James Ramban was named as Yaquob Mar Elias Metropolitan. Fr. Youhanon Ramban will be known from now on as Joshua Mar Nichodemus Metropolitan. Fr. Zachariah Ramban was given the name Zachariah Mar Aprem Metropolitan. Fr. Geevarghese Pulikkottil Ramban will be Pulikkottil Geevarghese Mar Julius Metropolitan. Fr. V.M. Abraham Ramban will be distinguished from today on as Abraham Mar Seraphim Metropolitan.
Before the commencement of the second part of the consecration ceremony the Vice-Principal of Orthodox Theological Seminary Fr. Dr. Jacob Kurien delivered a pregnant and highly thought provoking sermon. He affirmed that the newly consecrated seven Metropolitans are the seven golden lamps and seven stars as it is depicted by St. John the Evangelist in the first chapter of the book of Revelation.
The Holy Scripture says that number seven is the accomplishment of fullness. Fr. Jacob Kurien felicitated that the newly consecrated Metropolitans be able to remain the golden light of Jesus Christ, who proclaimed that He was the good shepherd.
The golden tongue of Malankara Fr. Dr. T.J. Joshua gave vivid commentaries of the ceremony at appropriate times as well as necessary directions to the faithful to actively taking part in the event.

To the editor:
As we get closer to Election Day I hear more and more people saying "I am not going to vote, my vote does not count or it won't change a thing." This way of thinking could not be any further from the truth. Not casting your vote will most certainly not change a thing. The most sacred right we as Americans have is voting. It is not just your right, it is your duty.
This upcoming election stands to be one of the most important elections in the history of our great nation. It is of the utmost of importance that we have as true a representation of "We the People" as possible. We are voting for the future generations to come. Do we continue down this path of financial irresponsibility or do we turn the ship around and finally start thinking about our grandchildren and this tremendous debt that we are putting on their backs?
We all need to be talking with family and friends and making sure that they are registered to vote and have them pledge to vote on Election Day. We must do this. We can do this. I for one will be casting my vote on Election Day. Will you?

St. Simons Condo Has Foreclosure Price Without the Foreclosure Hassle
Alden Morrison with Chapman Hall Realtors Coastal has just listed a really great condo for sale on St Simons. Real Estate on St Simons is all price driven today, and this condo certainly meets that criteria. This townhome is a two bedroom, one and one half bath, two story townhouse located in Brockington Point Condos and has a list price of $148,000.

However, this is not the case with this townhome. This unit has been totally redone with all new paint, carpet and fixtures. There is a very large family room that has a pass through to a good sized kitchen and also has access to a private patio. There is a really nice size laundry/mudroom on the main level.

Former president, presidential candidate open campaign to raise $100 million to give scholarships to victims' survivors
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former President Clinton and former Sen. Bob Dole, one-time political adversaries, are teaming up to help raise $100 million in scholarships for the children and spouses of victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Clinton and Dole will announce Saturday they will be co-chairmen of the Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund, created by the Indianapolis-based Lumina Foundation for Education. The scholarships will be offered in partnership with the Citizens' Scholarship Foundation of America.
Lumina has pledged $2 million outright and another $1 million in matching funds to encourage individual donations. The organization also hopes to raise money from corporations and other groups.
Clinton defeated Dole, the former Senate majority leader, in the 1996 presidential election.

Schools doing their bit to prepare for Asean community
Students learning about other countries, as well as languages
All sectors have done things to prepare for possible changes ahead of the move to become an Asean Economic Community (AEC) in 2015. This includes schools - the sector responsible for preparing human resources.An Asean studies subject has been created by Udonpittayanukul School (Udonpit) in the northeast province of Udon Thani to specifically educate its students about Asean countries and prepare them for the AEC.The subject is among concrete preparations that Udonpit has kicked off to prepare its students, according to Suphaporn Phongmetha, a teacher at Udonpit and head of the school's Asean Study Centre."We let our Matthayom 1-3 (Grade 7-9) students study this subject in this semester as the first group," she said.In addition to the subject Udonpit used as a tool to give students better understanding of Asean, it had some students study Vietnamese language with a native speaking teacher in a bid to equip them with another tool to communicate with people from the neighbouring country, Suphaporn said."There are tens of thousands people living in Udon Thani, who also have Vietnamese and Lao nationalities. So, it is essential that our students should know their languages," she said.Around 300 Vietnamese students pursued this study at Udon Thani Rajabhat University, she said, which could help them get a job in Thailand.Prommanusorn Phetchaburi School in Phetchaburi province is also teaching its students Burmese language. Located near Burma, there were lots of Burmese people in the province, school director Teerapun Teeranun said."We have a Burmese native speaking teacher teaching 80 students the language as a club activity this semester. But, Burmese language will be an elective subject for students from Matthayom 1-6 (Grade 7-12) to choose, while interested local people will also be taught the language in the next academic year," he said.Teerapun said learning about Asean countries had been made a new part of social studies taught to teach every class. "All teachers of every subject also agreed to adjust their educational activities, linking more activities with Asean."He has had his students visit Malaysian and Singaporean schools to create networks. Moreover, he plans to run a student exchange programme with Malaysia.Meanwhile, Udonpit has done Spirit of Asean projects with Asean countries using a web community as a communication channel.Both are among 68 schools under the Basic Education Commission that have initiated courses and activities in preparation for the AEC under the Spirit of Asean programme.Benjalug Namfa, an inspector general at the Education Ministry's Permanent Secretary Office, has an important role in preparing Thai students for the AEC. She said activities that provided knowledge about Asean were included in Nation Student Handicraft 2011 held last month."Now, of the 68 schools, we have 30 "Sister Schools", including Udonpit and Prommanusorn, which are preparing Asean educational plans with neighbouring countries and have connecting classrooms with schools in the United Kingdom and other Asean nations to do projects together on climate change, for example," she said. "So, they can learn different languages from each other and work together. "Twenty-four others are 'Buffer Schools' - schools located near the border. They are adjusting their curriculum and some contents to make their students know more about Thailand and nearby neighbouring countries. Rajabhat Universities and some experienced government officers are their advisers. "The other 14 schools called 'Asean Focus' are boosting students' awareness about the AEC, getting them to know Asean more deeply," she said."We plan to adjust official language of Asean laws to make it is easier for children to understand the laws," Benjalug added.Apart from Thailand, other Asean nations are also trying harder to raise their own students' awareness about the AEC.Marion Tan, principle of St. Margaret's Secondary School in Singapore, said her school celebrated Asean day last August. Also, content about Asean had been integrated into the social studies subject.The school had a student exchange programme with Indonesia so as to help them get to know each other more. Students learnt from local host parents in two countries and from their buddies who helped them in class, she said.The Singaporean government had allocated a huge amount to support the exchange programme for many schools, she said. In Vietnam, Nguyen Thu Anh, a teacher at Tay Son Secondary School said her school had taught students more about Asean countries, including populations, their climate, capital cities, prime ministers, food, customs and customs of each country. Lao teacher Khamla Khanthavong, from the Laos-Vietnam Friendship Secondary School, said many schools, including her's had yet to teach students about Asean, but the government had offered financial support for students to join Asean camps and sports competitions to learn more about other countries."Laos should be more alert to the AEC, and students should be encouraged to learn about Asean," Khamla said.
