Journals > Journal: Children of Immigrant Families > Article: The Multiple Contexts of Middle Childhood
Journal Issue: Children of Immigrant Families Volume 14 Number 2 Summer 2004
Cynthia Garcia Coll Laura A. Szalacha
During middle childhood, children begin to navigate their own ways through societal structures, forming ideas about their individual talents and aspirations for the future. The ability to forge a positive pathway can have major implications for their success as adults. The pathways to success, however, may differ for children of diverse cultural, racial, ethnic, and national backgrounds. This article provides a conceptual model of child development that incorporates the contextual, racial, and cultural factors that can play critical roles for children who are not part of mainstream society. Key observations emerging from this model include the following:
It is the interplay of the three major derivatives of social stratification—social position, racism, and segregation—that creates the unique conditions and pathways for children of color and of immigrant families.
A segregated school or neighborhood environment that is inhibiting due to limited resources may, at the same time, be promoting if it is supportive of the child's emotional and academic adjustment, helping the child to manage societal demands imposed by discrimination.
The behavioral, cognitive, linguistic, and motivational deficits of minority and immigrant children are more appropriately recognized as manifestations of adaptive cultures, as families develop goals, values, attitudes, and behaviors that set them apart from the dominant culture.
Society should strive to promote positive pathways through middle childhood for all children, regardless of their background, by ensuring access to critical resources now and in the future. The authors conclude by suggesting various strategies for working with children of color and children of immigrant families to accomplish this goal.

[ATTENDANCE WATCH] D.C. United's need to find a new stadium is all the more apparent when you look at the situation at RFK Stadium, where the club's support is dwindling. The crowd of 9,445 for Saturday's nationally televised game against Chicago was the club's fifth lowest since its launch in 1996.
MLS: Week 4 Crowds
38,469 Seattle-Columbus
21,000 Vancouver-Houston
18,881Real Salt Lake-Toronto FC
16,045FC Dallas-Portland
15,225New York-Chivas USA
12,203Colorado-Sporting KC
10,525 San Jose-New England
9,445D.C. United-Chicago
Note:announced sellouts in bold.
Week 4 average:17,498
Season average: 19,035
A decaying stadium doesn't help, but D.C. United's problems are exacerbated by its inability to win. The 2-2 tie with Chicago -- a match played in the rain -- extended its MLS winless streak to 14 games dating back to 2013.
D.C. Mayoral Primary: Incumbent supporter of D.C. United stadium loses
Even last season when it set an MLS record for the fewest wins in a season (3), D.C. United never drew a crowd in four digits. As recently as 2007, D.C. United averaged 20,967 fans a game to rank second in MLS. It led the league in attendance in 2001 with average of 21,518 fans a game even though it finished with an 8-16-2 record.
D.C. United is averaging 11,643 fans a game to rank 17th out of 19 teams, its same ranking in 2013 when it only finished ahead of San Jose and Chivas USA with an average of 13,646 fans a game, only slightly better than its season low of 13,483 fans per game set the previous year.

Greetings, Campers!
Just in time for the release of The Ten comes another chance to see director David Wain's first feature, Wet Hot American Summer, on the big screen. You might know Wain and co-writer Michael Showalter from The State, MTV's groundbreaking sketch comedy show of the early nineties. In fact, you may know much of Wet Hot's cast as the minds behind The State's offbeat offshoots like Viva Variety, Stella, Reno 911! and the aforementioned The Ten, in which Wain and crew weave 10 short stories (each based on one of the Bible's commandments) into a warm blanket of weird and irreverent comedy.
In contrast, Wet Hot American Summer follows a singular story line that gets directly to the point. It's the last day of camp in the summer of 1981 and a group of counselors must resolve romantic feelings, prepare for the talent show, clean up the goat shit, bathe a reluctant camper, "get McKinley laid!", workout personal demons and stop a hunk of space junk from killing everyone. Will they learn a life lesson from a talking can of vegetables? You bet. Don't even think of missing Wet Hot American Summer at midnight Friday and Saturday at the Inwood Theatre, 5458 W. Lovers Lane. Tickets are $8.50. Call 214-764-9106 or visit landmarktheatres.com.

Part 1 of 2.
This is uneddited and unproofread.
You will be hard pressed to find an RPG quite like Mass Effect 2. I'm not here to review Mass Effect 2, though. That comes a bit later. For now, I just want to reflect on that number at the end of Mass Effect 2's title.
SPOILERS TO FOLLOW:::::::::::::::Mass Effect 1:::::::Mass Effect 2::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
You have been warned.
Mass Effect 2 is the sequel to chapter 1 of Bioware's ambitious space opera. In it's time, ME1 (Mass Effect 1) was hailed as one of the greatest games Microsofts console had to offer. With a bold combination of third person shooting and traditional (though evolved) RPG mechanics, Bioware stated that they wanted to try somthing new for the RPG genre.Unfortunatley, that something came up a bit short in my eyes.
I will not hide my critisms of ME1. I thought the game was good, but not great. I personally did not care for the story. Saren as a villain was very flat and his motivations boiled down to, "I was brain washed." I nmany ways the story dragged on too long and dodged itself. In true Bioware fashion, the game began the main story and promptly sent you off on a series of free-to-choose missions that really weren't overly compelling and were only slightly involved in the main plot.
The combat was also a weak point in the game. The third person shooting was too heavily built on the archeic RPG designs of eras past. Instead of realy disecting games like Gears of War to understand third person shooting, Bioware was too timid and kept close to their familiar world of stats and mathematical combat. At the end of the day, the shooting fell flat compared to its pure blooded compatriots.
That said, though, Mass Effect was a step in the right direction for RPGs. For too long the genre boundaries have seperated videogames like policial parties. If you do anything more than math, your not an RPG! If you dare to add customization beyond color schemes and weapon choice, your no Shooter! Bioware rejected those answers. Instead, they chose the impossible; they chose Mass Effect. Even though Bioware's ambition was greater than their ability, they still did it; and it worked.
Then Bioware made a sequel.
When i hear the word sequel i think: "My, how nice it will be to play the same game again with different units/weapons/abilities and shinier graphics." Bioware didn't. Instead of upgrading the game's graphics and tightening the controls, they pretty much reinvented the game.
The gun play of ME2 is as tight as Gears of War (if not a bit lacking on your defensive maneuvers, like DODGE or ROLL *cough COUGH*) but isn't as limiting in options. Yes you have your guns, and no you don't NEED anything else, but Bioware still gave you 6 distinct classes that all play, in varying degrees, strikingly different. With each class comes a selection (though not a large one) of abilities that range from lighting your bullets on fire and slowing time, to tearing through space and time like a freight train of anti-matter death. I couldn't do that in Gears of War.
Compared to Mass Effect 1, Mass Effect 2 isn't even in the same category. While ME1 was just covering up their RPG mechanics, ME2 is just accenting their shooting mechanics. Bioware didn't refine their sequel, they reinvented it. Sure it looks the same on the outside, but the flow, the feel, and the design ethic is fundamentally different. In all the ways that ME1's combat succeeded, ME2's combat excells. In all the ways ME1's combat failed, ME2's combat succeeded. instead of building on their successes and running from their failures, Bioware assesed the entire design and fixed it. Then they made it better.
This is the end of part 1. I actually ran out of time to finish this post so i'll be going after the story in MUCH detail (as story is what I live for) in part 2. K thx. Comments are welcome, this is my first real blog, so yeah. And yeah, i could have saved for later but meh.

[[caption-width-right:300:Class of 3000, sing! [[note]] Counter-Clockwise starting from top: Sunny Bridges, Lil D, Eddie, Tamika, Kam, Philly Phil, Kim, and Madison [[/note]]]]
''Class of 3000'' is an Emmy Award winning American animated series that aired on Creator/CartoonNetwork. It was created, executive produced, and starred by André 3000 of the hip hop group Music/OutKast.
The show follows Sunny Bridges (voiced by Andre 3000 himself), a world famous jazz and blues superstar. However, he has become disillusioned with celebrity life, ultimately resulting in him quitting a concert in Japan. He plans to retire, moving back to his hometown of [[UsefulNotes/{{Atlanta}} Atlanta, Georgia]] which the local Westley School of Performing Arts is having its own troubles with the threat of shutting down its music program. [[TheLeader Lil D]], a self proclaimed number one fan of Sunny's, discovers him back in town and, through some persistence, manages to re-ignite Sunny's love for music. Meeting the rest of Lil D's friends which make up the music class ([[TheDitz Madison]], [[TheBigGuy Tamika]], [[LonelyRichKid Eddie]], [[GadgeteerGenius Philly Phil]], [[OnlySaneMan Kim]], and [[ButtMonkey Kam]]), Sunny agrees to teach them on the condition they keep the job fun for him.
The series made its world premiere (previously advertised as a live premiere with performances by Chris Brown) on November 3, 2006 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT with a one-hour special, came to Cartoon Network UK on May 28, 2007 and premiered on Cartoon Network Australia/New Zealand on February 4, 2008. Due to budget problems and [[ScrewedByTheLawyers a lawsuit]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_of_3000#Production (see here)]], the show was cancelled in October 2007, though new episodes kept airing until May 2008. (It's likely the writer's strike of 2007-2008 didn't help, either.) The show was co-created and developed by Thomas W. Lynch & Patric M. Verrone, who was the head of the WGA at the time of the strike. The show's head writer was a one Meghan [=McCarthy=] who currently serves a similar role on [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic an another series]].

* AlternativeForeignThemeSong: The Japanese ending theme is called "Funky Teacher" by SEAMO.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: When characters are shown as just masses.
* AmusingInjuries: In a rare aversion of its type, this show rarely shows them.
* ArtShift: Every episode has a musical sequence where the art style changes in varying ways from psychedelic to live action to puppetry.
** Another one came during the episode "The Hunt for Red Blobtober", when the kids are being chased, it somehow turns into PacMan.

Catalan National Day accommodation in Barcelona
Book a rental apartment for Catalan National Day
Catalan National Day
From 11/09/2012 To 11/09/2012
Venue: Catalunya
The Catalan National Day commemorates Barcelonas defeat by the Spanish Bourbon army in the 1714 War of the Spanish Succession, a defeat that led to the end of Catalunya as a distinct nation. To this day Catalunya seeks to regain its former ancient independence.
This is a day of national re-affirmation, the Catalan flag can be seen flying on buses and balconies throughout the city. There are also marches held through the city, the centre being the statue of Rafael Casanova (who led the defending army) on the Ronda Sant Pere. Some die-heards make a pilgrimage to the monastery at Montserrat, Catalonias spiritual heart.
If you are attending Catalan National Day and looking for accommodation nearby you may be interested in our selection of apartments in Barcelona. All of these come fully equipped.

A blog series devoted to games that failed to catch on, Nonviable Levels takes a second look at gaming's financial failures. Be it a disappointing sequel or a trilogy that never happened, Nonviable levels journeys into the games that gamers rejected.
The first gaming magazine I ever subscribed to was, like many youths, Nintendo Power. Looking back it's kind of amusing how enchanted I was by looking at screenshots of upcoming games, every issue was a magic peak to see a game that hadn't been released yet. I barely even read articles yet one of the earlier things I remember reading about was how Capcom was going to publish five exclusive games for the Gamecube (Dead Pheonix, P.N.03,Viewtiful Joe, Resident Evil 4, and Killer 7) and how weird my 11-year old self thought they looked . Alas as the years went by I grew to like my games weird and began reading more game magazines and the supposedly "Exclusive" Capcom games found their way onto other consoles in both superior (Viewtiful Joe) and compromised (Resident Evil 4), by the time Killer 7 came it was released on the PS2 (and Dead Pheomix was, well dead) making my hard-earned purchase of a gamecube not seem like a such a swell idea. Yet today's entry P.N.03 Capcom didn't bother to port due to a lack of demand, leaving it on Nintendo's purple lunchbox thing forever.
P.N.03 reception was largely lukewarm even by it's own developers (). A few games can still sell despite mediocre reviews but on Nintendo's system somehow a game about a lady cyber-ninja blowing up robots wouldn't sell. As explained in this well-intended Youtube video(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJakECHoujo&feature=relmfu), P.N. 03 was developed during a time when Capcom was losing large chunks of money, as a result the game was rushed into stores with many repeated levels but is it a complete waste?
The introduction to the game seemed like a real energetic game that I would have like in 2003, as protagonist Vanessa Z. Schneider (voiced occasionally by Jennifer Hale doing an eastern Europe accent) fires three homing missiles out of the back of her suit, in an animation that's as flashy and cool as a female Strider (with lasers!). For a while I really dug P.N. 03, I enjoyed that the game was essentially focused on dodging enemy lasers like a cross between The Matrix and numerous bulliet-hell shooters, while the auto-targeting made aiming simple as you leap and jump away from incoming fire. Another nice touch was the unlockable suits/upgrades that encouraged replaying the game as well as the Dungeon-crawler inspired trial missions that randomly generate the levels every time you play resulting in keeping players on their toes, yet the randomly generated trail missions also highlight a rather big problem, the less-than-varied levels.
After a while however the game quickly loses steam and the initial attitude is replaced by a blur of uninspired level design. The entire game looks like one giant white room with occasional outdoor area, the enemies all sort of blur together resulting in a very samey looking game. The level design is also strange, as if it was a Metriod-like game at some point, levels will often have two doors that go in different direction often containing enemies and bonuses, exploration is all well and good but when the levels look the same, the lack of a map, and your racing against the clock for a good score sometimes figuring out where the hell you are isn't what you want to do. With a mostly non-existent narrative (told in voiceless radio conversations), mostly similar looking enemies/environments, and a point based unlock system the game needs to hook you in it's dodge heavy game mechanics yet somehow that never grabbed me.
The game was often criticized for tank controls due to the inability to move with the analog stick and shoot. I initially liked the game's mechanics yet grew a tad bored of them mid-way though after finishing the game on easy I decided to tackle the normal difficulty (which allows you to keep your upgraded suits)and see if I was missing something to the game, I was still bored and still annoyed at enemies that moved behind me as well as repeated bosses. One could say that the game had sort of a cover based mechanic yet flinging behind cover feels less like precision and more like dumb luck.
One of the better boss fights in the game has you fighting a tank with magnetic wheels and a deadly spin attack, after running down the health bar the boss morphs into none other than a giant mecha-bird. This fight requires you to hid in holes and use the level to your advantage, truly utilizing the game's concept. Unfortunately the developers thought this fight was so good that it's sprinkled around the game.
There are interesting ideas in P.N. 03 but yet such little of it is executed well that I couldn't really recommend it to anyone other than Gamecube collectors. While this game tanked, a spiritual successor exists in the form of Vanquish, a third person shooter with a goofy sci-fi story that had all the attitude and polish that P.N. 03 lacked. Due to massive amounts of recycled levels and tiresome game mechanics P.N. 03 is an unfortunatly dull failure despite intereting ideas

Maybe the heat, lightning and rain was an omen that someone up there doesn't like the Broncos, even if they do have Tim Tebow.
This was one of those games that at times felt the Broncos were in control and could put this game away. Then a fumble, penalties, an INT and some letdowns on both sides of the ball knocked the wind out of the team.

In the midst of the most serious financial upheaval since the Great Depression, legendary financier George Soros explores the origins of the crisis and its implications for the future. Soros, whose breadth of experience in financial markets is unrivaled, places the current crisis in the context of decades of study of how individuals and institutions handle the boom and bust cycles that now dominate global economic activity. "This is the worst financial crisis since the 1930s," writes Soros in characterizing the scale of financial distress spreading across Wall Street and other financial centers around the world. In a concise essay that combines practical insight with philosophical depth, Soros makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the great credit crisis and its implications for our nation and the world.

This is very much like Soros's other books: a mix of (his own) Philosophy in PART I, and its possible applicability to the Finance markets of the time in PART II.
If you like Taleb's mix of Philosophy and Finance in Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets and The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable then you'll Soros's approach.
If you're looking to emulate Soros's success, this book doesn't tell you how to do this in concrete steps. The theory of reflexivity explains the nature of financial markets (the problem) but doesn't give a solution.
Mr. Soros understands and presents the philosophical and financial roots of financial crises. He has the rare background of a London School of Economics graduate, student of philosophy and successful hedge fund manager with over 50 years in investment banking. His concept of "Reflexivity" explains the "boom-bust" cycle that threatens world political-economic stability. He contrasts it with long held idea of market "equilibrium" that do not work for the social (vs. natural) sciences.
The book is not only insightful, but an easy read for those curious about the direction of finance going forward. The explination on the meltdown of the economy is extraordinarly transparent. If finanicial professionals everywhere would have listened to his earlier book on the topic of reflexivity we would not be where we are today. It really is time that egos get checked at the door, and we start adopting a general understanding of what is real, and what are lies. There was a Senator from IL that clearly was a perfect example of how everything Mr. Soros has written about applies. Manipulate the truth long enough and eventually your selling something that doesn't exist. After enough sales your Madoff scandall's become unraveled and reality will surely rise to the top. Great work Mr. Soros. At least I don't have my head shoved up where the sun doesn't shine.
Soros is one of the great investing minds, along with his former partner, of course. And this book is yet another example of why. But where was this book one or two years ago when it was really needed?
This is a fantastic book from an absolute expert in finances. I have already begun to sell my stocks and buy gold bullion and gold shares.

Let's allow those already in the country to stay and contribute without fear. Give them citizenship and collect taxes vs forcing them to hide. Then put in place a policy that treats the future arrivals the same as the laureates.
Let's Call It 'VO Day' and Get Out
Ivan Eland: Although the Obama administration has said that the killing of Osama bin Laden is not a VE or VJ day—which brought a return to normal times after World War II ended—perhaps it should be.
Afghanistan: A Moment of Opportunity for Obama
Tom Hayden: The targeted killing of Osama bin Laden is powerful evidence that terrorist threats, both real and hypothetical, can be more effectively suppressed by special forces operations than by deploying hundreds of thousands of American soldiers on the ground.
Bin Laden Capture; Right Wing Nightmare
Paul Hogarth: One of the Navy Seals who carried out the mission was a so-called "anchor baby" – the son of undocumented Mexican immigrants, who the American Taliban wants to strip of U.S. citizenship rights.
U.S. Refusal of 2001 Taliban Offer Gave bin Laden a Free Pass
Gareth Porter: When George W. Bush rejected a Taliban offer to have Osama bin Laden tried by a moderate group of Islamic states in mid- October 2001, he gave up the only opportunity the United States would have to end bin Laden's terrorist career for the next nine years.
If Cairo Came to Kabul
Muslim Hater Explains Muslim Messenger Strategy
Lee Fang: Despite his media savvy "Muslim messenger" approach, King cannot hide his ties to bigoted figures like Gabriel or their toxic ideas.
The Arab World's Leadership Deficit
Leaked Cables: Egyptian Government Stokes Fears of Muslim Brotherhood
Marian Wang: The Muslim Brotherhood, a key opposition group in Egypt's anti-Mubarak protests, has long argued that the Egyptian government exaggerates the Muslim Brotherhood's positions and its likelihood of attaining power in democratic elections. As it turns out, American diplomats agree.
Arab Unrest Hopping from Country to Country
Jim Fuller: It's a tossup at this moment as to whether the Jordanian and Saudi governments will be thrown out, I think. But what about Yemen and Algeria? No one can say at this point.
The Jasmine Revolution: Testing Time for the White House
Carl Bloice: To do something meaningful the Obama Administration must go beyond lecturing the local establishment leaders about human rights and political plurality. It must be to move to respond positively to the aspiration of the kids with the rocks in the streets. It should not involve telling the Pakistanis how to price gas.
A Radical Solution for the War in Afghanistan
Ivan Eland: The problem is that the U.S. goal in Afghanistan—although President Obama has reduced it from George W. Bush's instituting democracy to merely stabilizing the country—is still too ambitious.
The Taliban: Forced Into Negotiation While Winning?
Ivan Eland: Although David Petraeus, the top American commander in Afghanistan, recently peddled the notion that senior Taliban chieftains had made contact with senior Afghan government officials about the possibility of starting reconciliation talks, such talk of peace in our time is likely to be hype.

Radiation even in small amounts has been scientifically proven to be harmful to the human body. Studies now show that some of the effects of exposure to radiation can have an adverse effect on sperm motility, sperm morphology and sperm count itself in males.
Rudi Roos underwear has been specially designed and manufactured with a barrier to shield against the harmful effects of everyday radiation. But thats not all, Rudi Roos underwear allows men to look effortlessly stylish whilst being health conscious.


text: Show transcribed image text In this task you will use MATLAB to help you analyse this filter and its response. The following functions may be useful in achieving this: Use MATLAB to find the roots of your FIR polynomial equation generated in the previous task. The location of these roots will correspond to the location of the zeros of your FIR filter on the c-plane. With this knowledge plot (again by hand) what the pole-zero (z- plane) diagram should look like. Confirm this in MATLAB using the zplane () function.Use MATLAB to plot both the frequency and phase response of your FIR filter, use f reqz () to help you do this. Discuss: What does the pole-zero (z-plane) diagram tell you about your filter? Is your filter stable or unstable? What can you tell about the filter from its frequency and phase response? Discuss how your filter would respond to different input signal frequencies (does it null out certain frequencies? Does it act as lowpass/highpass filter? Is it none of the above?).

2005 Ford Focus ZXW SE 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I am the 3rd owner of this Focus wagon and bought it for mpg and interior space. Best mileage was 34 hwy and worst was 22 city mpg. I average about 27 mpg. Only problem was a rear door latch failed which was recalled and inspected long before I bought it. Ford refused to reimburse me and it cost me $350 to have it replaced. There are a few interior rattles, especially in winter.
mpg, interior room, handling
use more rubber or foam to eliminate some rattles
Bought this wagon used with 32000 miles. It has 52k now. Really a great car for the $$. Maintenance is a breeze, very accessable oil filter, I hand screw on and off. Get 32-34 mpg hwy and 24-26 city. Wagon is great for hauling stuff, I could sleep in if economy totaly folds ;-) It's like a mini minivan/suv that gets 30+ mpg on hwy. Around town easy to park. Don't understand the bad reviews from others but they had bad experiences....I had a 1991 escort before this.....got 200,000 miles on it, and it was still running great when I traded in on this Focus.....Ford is the leader in Europe and Brazil on Fuel effeciency and they sell tons in those countries. I'm a believer.
Fold down rear seat for tons of hauling room, AC blow ice all the time and in Florida you need it. 32/25 mpg great these days and easy of maintenance also great! Cup holders, top luggage rack, 6 CD changer and cruise control all fantastic!
Speakers kind of stink but they're factory.....may replace, other than that I can't believe they stopped making this wagon in 07' Need cheap transportation? Get one.
this was my first new vehicle. in less than 2 weeks it was in service. then it was in service every other week for one issue or another. my personal vehicle was in service for a rattling noise in rear area; transmission probs; rear hatch not locking; dome light turning on whenever it felt like it... i wont go into my experience with the service department. in short, my car was back at the dealership longer than me driving. filed lemon lawsuit; ford could not buy back- so they issued a settlement check. although it is a spacious vehicle, do not buy- resale value blows; not to mention reliability. if you do buy, make sure you get gap insurance!! many service depts still cant fix hatch probs.
radio controls on steering wheel; space/ roomy.
make; build; transmission; get rid of the loud relay for the turnsignal; reliability. need i say more.
I downsized from my much-loved 2000 Explorer for the fuel economy. And though it doesn't seem to get the 35mpg as promised - it sure is fun to drive. Not the least bit sluggish for a 4 cylinder. Fast out of a start, feels like rack & pinion steering, doesn't hesitate to go up hills. Holds everything my SUV did and then some. Perfect car for a single, self- employed, travel-loving, antique addict. And it'll be light enough to tow when I get that retirement motor home.
I like how peppy it is. And the room for hauling things. Including family.
I need someplace to throw my change. Miss the ashtray. Bigger console between the seats.
My Focus wagon with automatic transmission has a lot of good qualities. It's spunky, offers great driving visibility and has lots of storage room. Little things like the theater lighting are also nice. But, I'm not very pleased with around- town gas mileage in the very low 20's. A 2005 car with a 2.0 liter engine, even with an auto transmission, should do a lot better than that. (My '94 Geo Prizm still gets 25-26 around town). And, I really don't like the European suspension. In New Jersey, we have way too many streets and highways that are in pretty poor condition. I really have fears that my Focus with get beaten or shaken to death way before its time.
I like the smooth, spunky engine and the great storage room in back.
Gas mileage is way too low and the European suspension should to left to cars in Europe.

HOUSTON - Houston hired former Rice assistant Charlie Rizzo as a defensive coach Friday, the latest move in a staff shake-up that followed a bowl loss and a 6-6 season.
Coach Art Briles hasn't specified what role Rizzo will take.
Defensive coordinator Ron Harris resigned Jan. 5, less than two weeks after Kansas beat the Cougars 42-13 in the Fort Worth Bowl. Ex- Texas A&M linebackers coach Alan Weddell was hired to replace Harris.

Most organizations, whether local or nationwide, that I know of are based in Christianity or at least surrounded by the religion. Often times, when you make a personal donation, they often tell you, "God bless you!" in passing or the other classic things. I'm not offended by this, or anything, but I have often wished I could think of something I could say in return that was just as pleasant that was for Atheism.
Just to clear a couple things up, I'm not expecting a thank you for a donation made. For example, I have a gallon of milk that we cannot drink and rather than let it go to waste I know that it will be gladly used by the homeless shelter in town. They have limited funding due to the recent budget cuts as it is, and like I said, otherwise it would go to waste because it was a mistake purchase that no one in our household can actually drink. That being said, I'm not looking for a thank you or recognition for this, just casually curious if there is anything I can say in return when donation manager begins telling me how blessed I will be by God for even thinking of them in my daily life, etc. (I've been to this place many times before in high school during former church youth activities and when I went to Catholic school, as the former principal helped run the shelter.)
I just want the item not to go to waste, the homeless people to have something, and for the donation manager to realize even Atheists are donating! Yet I don't want to say, "No thank you..." when she starts telling me I'll be blessed! *lol*

Skylight takes Beethoven to Bollywood with ferocious 'Fidelio'
The Skylight Music Theatre doesn't have an official mascot, but it might think about borrowing the giant tiger Raghava KK designed for its "Fidelio." The feline could serve as a fitting avatar for the ferocious vitality new artistic director Viswa Subbaraman is bringing to the Skylight.
Subbaraman and his creative team infused this production of Beethoven's only opera with a set design, costumes, movements and gestures drawn from Indian culture and Bollywood. They brought color and movement to an opera that could easily be static on stage, and a liveliness of spirit to a show that could come across as a bit preachy, with its brotherhood-of-man lyrics, while sacrificing nothing musically. »Read Full Article(2)

"I've been a client of AdeptPlus Media and it is perhaps the best decision I've made regarding anything marketing related to my business. They did a fantastic job designing my website (check out some of their other designs on their website). But beyond doing a great job on my website they have served me as almost a business consultant: helping me refine my brand, plan related print collateral, target my audience, and brainstorm on helpful content for that audience. I wish there was a sixth star that I could give AdeptPlus!"
