Frequently called "Faber Stapulensis."
A French philosopher, biblical and patristic scholar; b. at Etaples in Picardy, about 1455; d. at Nérac, 1536. He pursued his classical studies at the University of Paris, graduating as master of arts. In 1492 he made a journey to Italy. His protracted visits to Florence, Rome, and Venice were devoted chiefly to the study of the works of Aristotle. On his return to Paris he displayed considerable activity as professor in the college of Cardinal Lemoine. Among his disciples were the Protestant reformer Farel and the later bishops Briçonnet, Roussel, D'Arande, Poncher. In 1507 he was invited to the monastery of St. Germain-des-Prés near Paris, by the abbot Brinonnet. Here he resided till 1520, assiduously studying the Bible . The first-fruit of his labours was his "Psalterium Quintuplex, gallicum, romanum, hebraicum, vetus, conciliatum" (Paris, 1509). In 1517 and 1519 he published at Paris two critical essays on Mary Magdalen, "De Maria Magdalena" and "De tribus et unica Magdalena disceptatio secunda." In these writings he endeavoured to prove that Mary, sister of Lazarus, Mary Magdalen, and the penitent woman who anointed Christ's feet ( Luke 7:37 ) were three distinct persons. This opinion, new at the time, gave rise to a violent controversy; refutations by Noël Bédier, syndic of the University of Paris, and John Fisher, the martyr-bishop of Rochester, appeared; they were followed by the condemnation by the Sorbonne in 1521. The preceding year, Lefèvre had left Paris for Meaux, where his friend, Briçonnet, now bishop of this city, was to appoint him his vicar-general in 1523. He continued his biblical studies, publishing the "Commentarii initiatorii in quartuor Evangelia" (Paris, 1522); a French translation of the New Testament (Paris, 1523) and of the Psalms (Paris, 1525); an explanation of the Sunday Epistles and Gospels (Meaux, 1525). As these works contained some erroneous views and revealed the author's sympathies for the doctrines of the so-called reformers, they again brought him into conflict with the Sorbonne. His commentary on the Gospels was condemned in 1523, and only the timely interposition of the king shielded him temporarily from further molestation. But during the captivity of Francis I, which followed the battle of Pavia (February, 1525), further proceedings were instituted against Lefèvre for his novel doctrines, and he sought safety in flight. After the king's release, he was recalled from exile and appointed librarian in the royal castle of Blois (1526). Here he worked at his translation of the Old Testament, which appeared at Antwerp in 1528. In 1531, he accompanied Marguerite, Queen of Navarre, to Nérac, where he spent the last years of his life. Lefèvre was a strong advocate of ecclesiastical reforms but did not deem a separation from the Catholic Church, of which he always remained a member, necessary for the attainment of this end. Among his non-biblical writings the following may be considered: "Theologia vivificans, Dionysii coelestis hierarchia, Ignatii XV epistolae, Polycarpi epistolai" (Paris, 1498); "Opera complura St. Hilarii episcopi" (Paris, 1510); "Liber trium virorum Hermae, Uguetini et Roberti triumque spiritualium virginum Hildegardis, Elizabethae et Mechtildis" (Paris, 1513).
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

PROS / An exceptionally user friendly application, it accommodates beginners and expert needs.
CONS / Customer support options don't include live chat or an email.
VERDICT / Ease-of-use, customizability and features beyond registry cleaning make this a great choice.
This product is no longer available. Make sure to check out our other regsitry cleaner reviews.
The typical computer user frequently adds and deletes programs and files on a pretty regular basis. They also change configurations, add and remove hardware, and download information frequently. While these processes may seem like a pretty straightforward proposition, the reality is that numerous changes take place on the hard drive that are out of the view of the user. Relationships between applications, files and other programs are modified automatically and, often, incompletely. Great registry cleaner software can prevent these operations from adversely affecting your computer's performance, and FIXIO PC Cleaner is among the best of this type of application. Not only is it extremely effective but it is exceptionally easy to use.
We all know that changes that occur over time to the Windows system registry can slow your computer system to a maddening crawl. Most of us also know that making changes to the registries, the central database of the operating system's configuration, should be left strictly to expert users. Removing the wrong registry entry can have untold consequences, including rendering the computer lifeless. FIXIO PC Cleaner makes child's play of delicate registry cleaning.
It would be hard to imagine a registry cleaner application that's much easier to use. You simply download the installation file and opt to install it. That's all there is to it. Once completed, you could literally do as little as selecting the quick scan option and, with a single click, scanning your registry for errors. Another click and the program will fix any errors that it found.
Of course, there are numerous options beyond that most basic level. Many of them deal specifically with how the application operates. There are options to launch the program on computer startup, close the program automatically when scans are complete and easy settings to schedule scans on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Users have the option of allowing automatic updates of the application or checking for them as they see fit. More advanced users will also be satisfied with the optional settings which allow for scanning of only specified registry categories, or which drives and files to include or exclude in the scan.
When dealing with a computer's registry, it's very easy to make errors that can cause issues that dwarf the initial problem. With FIXIO PC Cleaner registry cleaner software, you can rest assured that any adverse consequences of an action can always be reversed so that no harm is done. The first level of protection is backing up the registry. You have the option to back up all registries, the recommend process for most of us, but experts can also choose to back up only the ones they deem necessary. The registry cleaner software also creates a system restore point, a Windows feature that can quickly return the computer configuration to a point in time when things were working well, or at least better. Restoring the system is then just a matter of selecting the desired checkpoint and clicking the FIXIO PC Cleaner's "Restore From Point" button.
Registry Cleaning Items
FIXIO PC Cleaner registry cleaner software is easy enough to use that, under normal circumstances, we don't believe that most users will need assistance. There's always the possibility, however, that something will go wrong with an operation and the help of a pro will be needed. We were pleased to note that the manufacturer offers toll-free telephone assistance during the week. That's a pretty unusual offering among registry cleaner software applications. Their website also contains a FAQs section that we found helpful in answering most questions. Neither email nor live chat assistance is offered; however, if only one option is available, we find the immediacy of phone support to be preferable.
Among registry cleaner applications, we've found FIXIO PC Cleaner to be one of the easiest to use. It can literally be installed and used by most people without consulting any instructions. Even taking full advantage of its numerous capabilities will be highly intuitive for most users. Despite its ease of use, advanced users also have plenty of options to satisfy their specialized needs. Its abilities to fully remove installed applications and to scan and repair the computer's hard drives are also important plusses.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Stars cluster together. In the spring of 2009, Constellation Pinstripe appeared at The Q to see LeBron James, who was still the neighborhood kid who made good then, lay a triple-double on the Orlando Magic.
It was Game 5 of the ill-fated 2009 Eastern Conference finals, which the Cavaliers would lose, 4-2, in lackluster fashion in Orlando a few days later. The New York Yankees had an off night before beginning a series with the Indians, so they were out in force at courtside.
The next day, I spoke to Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter about the sport with the big rubber ball that didn't hurt so much when it hit you.
They dressed near each other in the visitors clubhouse. A-Rod said Jeter was the basketball expert, but he then delivered a perfect summation of what made James so difficult to stop -- unless, as he proved the next year in the playoffs, he decided to stop himself.
"He's Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson combined," said Rodriguez, admiringly.
As with James' brilliant basketball IQ, A-Rod is considered one of the smartest players ever in the ways of his game. In a way, they should be linked forever as great superstars who angered millions of fans.
James was the most publicized prospect of the 24/7 news cycle. He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated beneath the headline "The Chosen One" while still a junior at Akron St. Vincent St. Mary. A-Rod was a "five-tool" player -- run, throw, field, hit, hit with power -- whose likes had not been seen since Willie Mays, if ever.
Steroids, which Rodriguez had admitted to using as a member of the Texas Rangers, would eventually enable him to threaten Mays' place as No. 4 on the career homers list. Willie retired with 660. A-Rod -- hurting with a hip that was operated on in the off-season, convicted by Major League Baseball of doping again in the Biogenesis scandal, the biggest culprit in the latest Performance Enhancing Drugs story -- is frozen at 647.
If the first vote last year of the baseball writers on the Hall of Fame credentials of the steroid generation is any indication, A-Rod will never make it to Cooperstown unless he sets up a table and sells autographs there, as Pete Rose has done.
Back in the visitors clubhouse in 2009, I brought up the 2009 Nike-inspired television commercials, clearly anticipating a Cavs-Lakers finals, in which puppets portrayed James and Kobe Bryant.
"LeBron or Kobe? Who's better?" I asked.
"In Cleveland, LeBron is perfect. In Los Angeles, Kobe is perfect," said Jeter.
It was a perfect line. Like going 5-for-5 the day he reached the 3,000-hit mark or homering in his first time back after breaking an ankle, Jeter always seemed to say or do what was necessary to match the occasion.
A-Rod, historically ineffective in the postseason with career numbers of .263, 13 homers, 41 RBI in 75 games, always seemed to leave his fans wanting more.
Maybe that's why he doped. Maybe the expectations were too high.
He played alongside Ken Griffey Jr. in Seattle and Jeter in New York, and so never was the most beloved. The numbers that would have legitimized him were tainted, but that was the climate for years in baseball.
The best prospect ever has to be the best player ever on the big stage, too. James eventually met the moment and made it his in Miami. But how much did that pressure turn the defecting superstar into a villain to many fans here?
How big was its part in leaving Rodriguez without a team or, for the foreseeable future, even a game?

AMHERST – The day before about 5,500 are to receive degrees at the 144th University of Massachusetts Commencement, dozens of workers, some in hard hats, were busy setting the stage.
They were setting screens in place and securing them so they wouldn't blow in the event of wind, testing the sound system and securing the landscape around the stage among the myriad tasks to ready the campus.
Brandon Adams from Landscape Management was rearranging myriad plants and said he began working on the project yesterday at 8 a.m. and worked until 6 last night and he and others were back Thursday at 7 a.m. and would continue until the end of the day and be back again Friday morning. Plants and shrubs grace the front of the stage.
Alumni Association office staff were setting out bags with details about the association and a lapel pin and then taping them to the 5,000 seats so they wouldn't blow away.
The alumni office wants graduates to know they are part of this larger community and can continue to network and get help from that community, said Elena Lamontagne, Director of Alumni Communications and Marketing, who was working with Melanie Cosgrove in on section of the seats.
Ceremonies begin at 4:30 p.m. but graduates are asked to arrive at 3:30 p.m. and guests at 2:30. Buses will shuttle celebrants from parking lots.
Traffic will be heavy and between 2:30 PM and 7 p.m. North Pleasant Street will be closed between the Graduate Research Center roundabout and Massachusetts Avenue. University Drive will be closed between Massachusetts Avenue and Amity Street.
Visitors can check transportation delays at the mass traveler web camera site.
Gov. Deval L. Patrick will be the commencement speaker. Former U.S. Rep. John W. Olver, D-Amherst, and alumna and journalist Gail Collins will receive honorary doctoral degrees.

Endicott, NY (WBNG Binghamton)
The U-E Tigers went 6-2 last year, with both losses coming against Maine-Endwell.
This season the Spartans drop to class "B" as the Tigers also gain some QB depth with returning starter Joey Orlando and transfer Caleb Scepaniak.
" Joey had a leg up starting for us last year as a sophomore, and being in the system for so long. Caleb is a weapon. He can do a lot for us. He's starting at defensive end. He likes it out there, he's nice and long, quick and explosive. It's a new position for him but he's pretty good at it."

MANSFIELD -- A recent morning brought many thanks and cheers for employees at ShopRite who raised $11,500 for Partners in Caring during the seventh annual Hunger Awareness Competition, which supports National Hunger Awareness Day.
The contest, which is organized by ShopRite and General Mills, creates a friendly rivalry among 30 grocery stores competing to raise money and awareness for the fight against hunger.
The township location took first place and, as a reward, three of their employees were honored on 125,000 limited-edition cereal boxes.
"The associates in this store were driving to win," said Dominick J. Romano, vice president and chief operation officer of RoNetco Supermarkets, Inc. "They were excited and energized, which made the customers energized."
For two weeks, associates schemed ways, such as a bake sale, a carnival and ice cream socials, to beat out RoNetco's Newton location for top spot.
"Newton was ahead of us dollar-wise and thought they were going to win," said Tina Holder, Hackettstown, as she clutched her award -- a plastic framed box with a picture of her along with 60 other associates standing in the shape and colors of the hands that create the Partners in Caring logo.
Partners in Caring was established in 1999 by ShopRite to provide a "year-round, community-based, hunger-fighting initiative."
The charity has donated approximately $15 million in a period of 8 years. They give about $2 million a year to 70 food banks in the tri-state area.
"New Jersey is an affluent state and hunger is a hidden problem because it does not look the same way as in a Third World country," said Karen Meleta, director of corporate communications and media relations, Partners in Caring. "With divorce or loss of a job, suddenly, there is not enough money to put food on the table. People do not realize that it could be their neighbor."
She said General Mills was their first partner and is the only company with the distinction of "founding partner."
General Mills President Jeff Harmening said he "could not think of a better reason to get on a plane" than to congratulate the winning associates.
He remarked that customizing a box of Cheerios, as a salute to all of the supermarkets who participated, "made sense" because the American public connections nourishment with the cereal.
"Our corporate mission is nourishing lives," he said. "Cheerios is the first food for lots of children and is in almost every stroller in America."
Children who have grown up with whole-wheat Cheerios are also pictured on the limited edition box as a reward for winning the "Hunger-Fighting SuperKids" essay.
Kyra Paillex, a fourth-grader of Pittstown, was one of four children awarded for displaying "a sense of responsibility to help fight hunger in the local community," according to ShopRite.

As most hunters do, I had high hopes heading into bow season 2010. We had some decent action during the first few weeks of the season, but the latter part of October and first couple weeks of November, typically prime time here in Ohio, was unusually slow. Other than a having a great encounter with a heavy-beamed, huge-bodied 8 point in early-November, the first 2 months of the season were a bust.
Our main, one-week long gun season always begins the first Monday after Thanksgiving. Combine a week of heavy hunting pressure with deer in the post-rut period, and the hunting during December becomes very challenging. I began concentrating my efforts on a couple of HS Vita-Rack plots that still contained a lot of brassicas and turnips. On December 15th, trail camera pics revealed a tall-tined 8 point hitting one of the plots only an hour after dark. I recognized him as a 4 ½ year old buck I had passed a number of times during the late season the previous bow season. I decided to concentrate my efforts on this deer.
I had been using the Hoyt through the first 10 weeks of season. Though a bowhunter at heart, I decided to hunt the remainder of the season using our TenPoint crossbow. TenPoint, NAP Broadheads, Nikon, Hunter Safety Systems and Rocky had put together an awesome promotion for The Posse that was too good to pass up.
I figured cold weather and especially SNOW might bring this buck in before dark and on December 19th my wish was granted. To make a long story short, the Big 8 showed up a full hour before dark and provided me with close to 20 minutes of footage before feeding into range. Unfortunately, he moved right as I began to shoot and I ruined my opportunity.
Though completely disappointed that I had blown the only chance I had gotten all season, I was hopeful I would get another crack at him. I moved 2 trail cameras to another HS plot about ½ mile away, thinking he might relocate to that area. Finally, 3 weeks later, he showed up on trail cam pics on the other plot. We hunted the plot hard, but didn't see him until January 23rd. It was bitterly cold, with temps about 10 degrees as we headed to the stand that afternoon. I wasn't very optimistic, as there was very little wind with and it was clear as a bell, not the conditions I've found to be very productive during the late-season. However, the deer moved that evening. Right after 5 one and a half-year old bucks showed up, the Big 8 appeared, heading right for us. At 40 yards he was on a course that would bring him within 30 yards of my stand. But the 5 small bucks, along with 6 does and fawns that had entered the plot, were now almost straight downwind of our location, so I decided to shoot at the first chance I got. Much to my dismay, the buck dropped at the shot and the arrow hit high. We watched the footage several times-I couldn't believe I had gotten a second chance at this deer and now may have just blown it again! When in doubt, back out, so we decided to look for him the next day. Fortunately, the Crossbow Spitfire MAXX had done its job and he hadn't gone far. As I walked up to him I was overwhelmed by emotions from all that had happened. After a few moments, I smiled…2011 would be a new beginning. What made it all even better was that my 2-year old daughter Aleah was there to share part of the recovery with me.
I would like to thank Ralph and Vicki and Archer's Choice for this wonderful opportunity they have given me and TenPoint, NAP, Nikon, HSS and Rocky for putting this incredible promotion together.
Remember…keep your eye on the prize and always shoot straight from the heart!

WE WILL deploy every skill and tool we possess to accomplish our mission.
WE SEEK to make our activities as accessible as possible to both immigrant and non-immigrant communities in our state. This goal will inform every aspect of our work, including the languages we use and the strategies and tactics we employ;
WE BELIEVE in the democratic principles of fair and transparent decision making, both within our organization and in the systems we are seeking to change;
WE BELIEVE that every human being has dignity and is entitled to fundamental rights by virtue of their
humanity. We believe that immigration status is irrelevant to a person's worth as a human being.

Anthony F. Franco
The eighth-grade student is ready to explore career development for a variety of reasons. Initially, almost every eighth grader has some conception of the value, and sometimes, necessity of work. In those families whose structure has remained intact, the student realizes that one or both parents leave the household at a particular time during the day in order to earn money for the purpose of providing for the family's well-being. Or, in those families where the structure has not remained consistent, the student is exposed to one parent and his or her struggle both to provide for the family and to maintain the household. Even in families where no parent is working—an increasingly commonplace situation in New Haven and other urban areas—the student gains some appreciation for the World of Work and its advantages since the absence of a money flow into the house has, no doubt, provided some hardship in the household and, in turn, affected the student.
Secondly, eighth graders have a conception of what they would like to do once they complete their schooling. This conception may be in no way commensurate with the student's mental or academic capacities, but the student, by making a vocational choice, has demonstrated an awareness of what Singer and others have termed a "future-focused or role-image."1
Thirdly, in eighth grade, the student is formalizing the elementary preparation of basic skills obtained thus far in school in readiness for his journey into high school. Here the student may be faced with a decision to enter either the public high school in his district, a private high school, or a vocational-technical school. Frequently, the student, upon choosing an option, will have to make a formal application to the institution. Such applications are often regarded as a mirror of the student; too often an ill-prepared application may inhibit the student's acceptance into the program of his choice.
Finally, towards the end of the eighth grade year, many students apply for federally funded summer jobs. For many of these fourteen-year-olds these applications become monsters which are either incorrectly completed or never completed; thus, the dream of a much-needed summer job may be lost. It is important that these applicants be sufficiently literate to understand these applications which are keys that can open new doors in their lives.
The "future-focused role-image" mentioned above is a person's image of himself in the future; this projection gives meaning to his present. FFRI is central to education, since education itself is a preparation for the future. If a student is genuinely interested in pursuing a particular occupational choice, if the student is given the opportunity to research this choice openly, he will commit himself more seriously to the mastery of skills essential to this choice. The skills central to any attempt to explore FFRI are oral and written skills, reading skills, and vocabulary development. These skills are generally taught in an English class, but I hope they will meet with more academic zeal if taught in the context of career development. I hope this unit will help achieve this purpose through the integration of literacy skills with an exploration of career development.
Oral communication skills are of the utmost importance when interviewing for a job. It is important that we give the student a clear understanding of interview techniques in order that he may adequately develop his speaking skills. All interviews, whether for securing information or for attaining a job, must have a clearly defined purpose known to both participants. The language in an interview should be courteous. Above all, the student, as a potential participant in an interview, must realize that successful self-promotion will affect the interviewer favorably.
One of the most important facets of the interview is the ability of both the interviewee and the interviewer to listen to one another. Too often a prospective employee has been denied a job because of his inability to listen to the interviewer. Lines of communication become confused, and the result is that the employer gains a poor impression of the individual. We must stress at all times that being a good listener is just as important as being a coherent speaker in an interview.
Although public speaking on the stage or the rostrum affords the speaker a great freedom to express himself with bodily movement and gestures, it is also important that the participants in an interview be unafraid to initiate gestures while speaking or listening. The handshake both before and after the interview is one example of how interview participants can strike a common bond and open lines of communication with bodily movements. Clarity of questions and specific sequence of ideas which make a good interview can be readily aided by such courtesies as listening and body language.
Every English teacher hopes to build composition skills and there are many methods available to us. How many ex-students are asked to write about their summer experiences or the purpose of a particular character in a novel they have just read? It seems that there are four instances in which most ex-students need to exhibit composition skills: the application, the resume, the business letter, and the personal letter. This unit will deal with all but the last since the first three mentioned play an integral role in career development.
We can readily notice that the application, the resume, and the business letter rely upon form rather than literary content. I do not mean to demean creativity in written expression, for creativity does serve its purpose in the fulfillment of the whole person, and creative people are often sought in the job market. There is little need, however, for creatively written language in the attainment of most jobs. A career may certainly be initiated by creative expression in thought and oral communication, but adherence to form in written language is usually more important.
The student's preparation of an application necessitates adherence to the form of the application; its content is the purest factual form of writing. The job application, the education application, and even credit card and social security applications serve the same purpose—to collect data about the applicant in an orderly and sequential manner. We should make this orderly and sequential process clear to our students in order that they may feel more comfortable with applications, as a child would feel comfortable with a pegboard he has used continuously.
The resumé is no more than an application without lines to guide the applicant. There are various types of resumes, and there are just as many publishers of guides on how to write them. Distinctions are usually made according to the type of employment sought. Anyone who decides to teach this unit ought to carefully scan one of the guides for writing resumés, and should choose several forms to present to his class.
The business letter remains a restricted form of composition. Business letters are clear, concise, and to the point—in contrast to the friendly letter, which is prone to be a bit more creative and imaginative. A typical business letter has six sequential ingredients. This pattern generally expounded in most language textbooks includes: heading, inside address, salutation, body (which should be clear and purposeful), closing, and signature. Once again we have the application without lines, but with definite constraints and limitations for the sake of clarity.
Reading comprehension skills and vocabulary skills are closely related, and we can help improve both if reading and vocabulary are explored from an occupational point of view. Occupational literature, job descriptions, and classified advertisements provide interesting subject matter for students interested in career development. These three modes of written expression can be read with reasonable comprehension if we construct several guiding questions for the student. Such questions might include:
The student's self-awareness might also be strengthened from the reading of occupational literature. The student might ask: Can I do the job? Admittedly, this question may be premature for some eighth graders, but if it is asked in a general manner the student might be able to answer.
- 1. What is the position? (Title)
- 2. What does the position involve?
- 3. What are the requirements for the position?
- 4. What is the availability of the position?
- 5. What may I expect to earn with the position?
- 6. What are some special characteristics and/or problems confronting the position?
An examination of jargon is necessary in vocabulary development, and will often benefit a student's reading skill. Jargon is the vocabulary uniquely used by any structured institution. Applications have their own jargon, and each individual occupation has its jargon. Students should be encouraged to pursue a knowledge of the jargon consistent with and related to their occupational choice. Advertisements also use jargon, and these newspaper-originated terms should not go unnoticed.
There are still thousands of jobs that do not require a college diploma or preparatory courses in order for an individual to perform the work satisfactorily. The instructor is cautioned not to stress a collegiate experience, for such pressure might discourage the student. Should a student be interested in a career which necessitates a college education, the teacher can aid the student with various information about colleges and the different degrees offered. If, however, a student chooses an occupation which does not require schooling beyond high school, there is no reason that he be coerced into researching an occupation which necessitates such preparatory measures. The rationale is quite simple: the average eighth grader will undoubtedly change his or her mind a number of times before he leaves school, and there are too many fathers, mothers, and other relatives of the student who are providing nicely for their families without the benefit of a formal education.
The concept of futurism is important for the student who is immersed in a thematic unit of career development. As science and technology continue making great gains and contributions to society, there will be most likely an influx of new jobs. Many of the jobs today were either unimaginable or only theoretical possibilities ten to fifteen years ago. Each student should realize that the list of occupations is not a constant and stable indicator of the working world, but rather, a very changeable one which will continue to change as the young student progresses toward his occupational goal.
There are also many occupations of which students are unaware. Once the students' initial occupational interests have been polled in class, each student could ask himself if the career interest has has chosen is one that is readily visible to the public. Host of the occupations they choose are probably ones which the student meets in his everyday existence or sees on television. Doctors, nurses, auto mechanics, pharmacists, police persons, grocers, and lawyers would be examples of these visible occupations. Students should then be initiated into the idea of occupational clusters—those jobs related to their occupational choice which are not as visible. Paramedics, court stenographers, and welders are just some of the many "invisible" occupations which a student might find more to his liking or equal to his potential. Throughout the unit students should be encouraged to explore not only their initial career choices but also several of the related professions. In future years when the student is more capable of assessing his potential, this exploration could be very beneficial.
Throughout the implementation of this unit, it is important that the student's positive self-image be stressed. The attitudes a student maintains toward work, the preparation necessary to obtain jobs, the appreciation of what work is, and the goals that a student may or may not set for himself in the future all contribute to the formulation of his character. The thematic portion of the unit is designed to have the student concentrate on his own goals and expectation—not the expectations of the instructor. Disappointment or discouragement do notenter into thematic discussions and should not be deterrents in the student's initial exploration of career development.
The concept of literacy is, indeed, important for everyone, and the value of being literate cannot be overestimated in the schemes of career development or educational advancement. The primary expectation of the instructor and implementor of this unit is that the student be made aware of the importance of literacy in this respect. Speaking well and confidently in an interview, knowing how to complete any type of an application, being able to write a resumé or business letter, and having a positive self-image of oneself are all conventions of literacy which will aid the student in the future. Once the student realizes the value of being literate, he or she will understand that literacy can be a tool implemented in the future in order to attain a goal.
Students' awareness of the working world will be inventoried through lists and discussions of occupations known to them through their families and acquaintances. The student himself will then list five occupations that he might want to work at sometime in his future. A slide presentation will be shown with an emphasis in the following discussion placed on career clusters and "invisible" jobs. The Dictionary of Occupational Titles will be circulated as a prime reference tool for the unit. The concept clusters and "invisible" jobs. The Dictionary of Occupational Titles of future-focused role-image will be introduced and students should begin to visualize themselves as contributing members of society.
Extension: Examination of jobs more prominent in the past (ie. blacksmith). Jobs that may develop in the future (bionic repairman). Jobs in the media (What does Fonzie do?) Movies detailing occupations. Occupations in literature. Occupation in songs. Daily log of facts learned outside of school concerning occupations.
Extension: Book reports, book talks concerning people at work. Spelling and vocabulary lists for study from reading.
Extension: Complete application and resumé packet for desired job.
Extension: Guest speakers can be interviewed about their jobs. Videotaping of interviewing sessions role-played by students. Student talks about their job interests.
Extension: Examination of banking. Establishment of mini-society whereby students assume roles of occupational choices. Unionism and contractual agreements.
Give each student a piece of paper and a pencil. On one side of the paper have students list the five jobs that they think they would most like to do in the future. (If a student does not have five occupational interests, two or three will suffice.) After students have completed this occupational inventory, have them turn the paper over and list the occupations of all their relatives and acquaintances using the person's first name or initials as a check to guard against confusion. Allow students no more than ten minutes for this exercise.
Teacher: Today we are going to check our awareness of the different types of jobs known to us. First let us see how many of us know people who are doing the type of work we might want to do in the future. How Many of us know at least one person that is doing one of the jobs on our original list?Allow time for discussion if any students do fall into this category. Make sure all students realize that their families and friends can be resources. After this discussion has progressed sufficiently list on the blackboard all the jobs from students' second lists. An easy way to accomplish this would be to call for jobs beginning with the different letters of the alphabet so as to avoid repetition. At the end of the class or when all student lists have been exhausted count up the number of jobs on the blackboard and compare the total to the total number of entries in a resource such as the Dictionary of Occupational Titles. As a preparation for the next day, have students take their original list of five occupations and list one responsibility or task for each different job.
A sample business letter form is detailed on the following page.

Following the brilliant sunshine, blue skies and warming temperatures of the past week, spring has firmly taken hold. Ponds will soon be opening up and the water levels on the streams will remain manageable.
The seasonal transition has been expedited by the recent warm weather and the distinct freshness of new life is omnipresent in the woods.
Sadly, the rapidly receding snowbanks now reveal the buried discards of people who have no regard for the land. A recent paddle along the Saranac River offered further proof that not all of the roadside trash remains along the side of the road.

It's a season for four-wheel- drive vehicles and dusty roads, pocked with frost heaves that can loosen the fillings in your molars.
Winter sports such as skiing, skating, ice climbing and snowshoeing are rapidly becoming activities of the past.
South-facing slopes and open fields have lost their cover while the snowpack is rapidly diminishing in the higher elevations. Backcountry skiers will now have to hike to find snow.
Rising melt waters will swell the streams to offer a series of hurdles on most area trails. Between the rivulets, the soft, muddy trail conditions beg for a break and hikers are advised to avoid climbing the High Peaks.
The runoff waters that hinder hikers will eventually result in a cascading white froth that will provide entertainment for kayakers and rafters alike.
The seasonal transition is most evident in the daily return of bird species. As flocks of Canada geese gather along Lake Flower, migratory species such as American woodcock, red wing blackbirds and peregrine falcons can be found respectively in the fields, marshes or along the cliffs.
Evidence of the region's burgeoning population of wild turkeys can be found in Bloomingdale, Wilmington, Gabriels, Jay and Paul Smiths.Although the opening day of the spring turkey season is two months distant, turkey hunters anxiously await the date.
For many outdoor travelers, this transitional timeframe is a difficult period of waiting and wondering what the next weather front is going to bring in.
Anglers hope for lower levels and warmer water temperatures, bikers and hikers seek dry ground and climbers want ice-free rock. Yet, for the birders, this remains a most exciting season as returning species permit daily opportunities for additions to their count lists.
Trout season begins
In a revealing bit of irony,the trout season officially began on April Fools Day, an appropriate date, for anyone expecting to fill a creel with trout from Adirondack waters.The combination of warm weather and bright sun has hastened the removal of the hardwater cover currently shielding area ponds. Possibilities include the Lower Cascade Lake and Chapel Pond south of Keene Valley. Courtney Pond in North Hudson is also an early favorite.
Anglers should seek ponds with ledges or large rocks along their shores. These areas, especially those with southern exposures, will often open up well before the rest of the ice cover, providing ideal locations for bait fishermen.
Likewise, check inlets at Lake Clear, Tupper Lake at Bog River Falls and the rapids at the Upper and Lower Locks on the Saranac Chain.
Lake trout, landlocked salmon and brown trout are known to concentrate near lake inlets in anticipation of smelt, suckers and other runs of spawning bait fish. Anglers will also find brook trout around debris such as downed trees, rocks or other cover near the inlets or outlets. This cover provides ideal environs for insect life, which becomes active sooner in the warmer waters near an inlet.
Rivers and streams may have lower than expected levels as this region lost it's snow cover early. The usual high waters of spring thaw won't be so high nor will they last as long.
"Low, slow and cold!" is the advise offered to early season anglers for trout fishing the streams. Fish slow, deep and be patient. Trout are not as active in the early season as they are later in the year when insect life is most prolific.
The cold water temperatures make fish sluggish and slow to respond. Stream fishing should be pursued in deep pockets and pools, with retrieves very slow and erratic.
On the rivers and streams, look for pools at the base of waterfalls or dams. These will often attract large, hold-over brown trout, still in the area from their fall spawn. Rainbow trout will be seeking similar holding pools, as they move upstream to spawn in the spring.
Anglers should expect to find some good stream-fishing early on this year. There are lots of healthy, holdover fish from last season and the streams won't be running too high or discolored.
As water tumbles over rapids or drops from a falls, the air temperature has a much greater effect on the water temperature than it does in flat, calm water. Water temperatures at the base of waterfalls will often be several degrees warmer than the waters above the falls. The more foam and froth created by falls or rapids, the more warm air entering the water.
Locally, falls pools, such as those at the base of the Mill Pond dams on the Chubb River, Lake Everest Dam and The Flume Pool on the Auable or Lake Flower Dam on the Saranac River, will provide ideal conditions for early season fishing. So will sections with turbulent water or rapids like those found throughout the Wilmington Notch or above Franklin Falls on the Saranac River.
Kids and fishing: A great combination
The Annual Kids Fishing Derby in Saranac Lake which began on March 29 is scheduled to run through April 13. The event, which is hosted on the Saranac River between Lake Flower Dam and Pine Street Bridge, features the release of 25 tagged rainbow trout, in addition to another 380 released. The contest is open to all area youth under the age of 16.
A lucky kid who catches a trout and brings the tag to the Blue Line Sport Shop will receive an award. All of the tags that are turned in will then be include in a drawing for a grand prize.
Blue Line is encouraging catch-and-release fishing again this year, and anglers should bring a bucket to keep their catch alive for later release.
Over the past 30 years, I have fished with hundreds of children and I've learned a few lessons that may help parents wishing to teach their kids the sport.
For parents who take the opportunity to get out with their children, a hook, bobber and a worm are often all that is necessary to put a little tug on the end of Junior's rod. Once the ice is out, the first few weeks of spring find pan fish activity quite good on the warmer days, especially along shorelines.
Keep the kid's equipment simple and let them practice with it at home. I often have kids practice by casting a bobber at a target, such as a fence. It teaches them to aim and judge the casting distance.
Remember to keep the first few outings short since children have a short attention span. Strive to go out on a pleasant day, it's not much fun to fish in the rain and contrary to the old belief; fish don't really bite better in the rain. If the child wants to go home, GO! You want them to enjoy the sport. Leave them wanting to come back.
Fishing provides a lot of time to interact; take the time to talk to you kid. Keep the first few sessions on shore, or from a dock; it is much easier to fish on solid ground than from a rocking boat.
Do your scouting in advance to find a quiet area where you know fish can be found. Find a place without any overhead obstacles and bring along plenty of snacks, drinks and other necessities like sunscreen, bug spray and maybe even a comfortable chair or two.
It is also wise to use a bobber since it gives children something to look at and it lets them easily see where they have cast. It also helps them to perceive a bite. Bobbers also keep bait off the bottom and away from frustrating snags. Use live bait; it produces more strikes and provides the kids with a lively, wiggly thing to play with if the fishing is slow.
Kids need plenty of action. As a result, keeping bait on and taking fish off the hook are important to the success of any children's angling adventure. With needlenose pliers, crimp back the barb of the hooks, to permit fish to be released unharmed.

WESTFIELD - It was state and federal monies - not city funds - which paid for the $500,000 clock tower that now graces the site of the $80 million Great River Bridge project here.
A state Department of Transportation spokesperson this week told The Republican that he erroneously identified the city as having paid the bill for the 60-foot clock tower.
The cost of the clock was included in the original project estimate and funded 80 percent with federal and 20 percent state monies, said Adam L. Hurtubise.
"The clock tower is being paid under the contract through enhancement funding," said Hurtubise.
The U.S. Highway Administration defines Transportation Enhancement Activities as projects which "help expand transportation choices and enhance the transportation experience." "Landscaping and other scenic beautification" is one of 12 "activities" eligible for funding until this program.
The clock, he added, was made in Massachusetts. It was fabricated by Electric Time Co., of Medfield.
State Sen. Michael R. Knapik, R-Westfield, repeated this week that the project to install a new bridge across the Westfield River and redirect traffic into the central business district along Routes 10 and 202 has been 15 years in the making. He calls it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Westfield to reinvent the downtown.
"This is a legacy project and an opportunity to reinvent a major gateway to the city," he said. The refurbishment will be enjoyed by future generations of residents and business owners alike, the senator said.
Knapik also said information provided to his office by state transportation officials showed the contract estimate at the start of the ambitious undertaking was $59,813,863. An additional $15.5 million, for which there was "no city financial exposure," according to city engineer Mark S. Cressotti, involved utility-related work.
Broken down, the utility costs amount to $158,654 for Verizon; $51,918 for Comcast; $476,548 for Sprint; $159,452 for Qwest; $1,631,911 for the Westfield Gas & Electric Department and $13,035,975 for CSX for railway work, according to the state.
The $13 million agreement with CSX, according to the state, included track relocation and associated work. The tracks are part of a major east-west corridor that is used for both freight and passenger rail service.
The original $8.5 million budgeted for the rehabilitation of the old Great River Bridge which is being retained and refurbished for south-bound traffic, has since escalated after workers discovered far more damage than anticipated. Steve Young, a state transportation representative, said he was not able to provide an immediate response to how much the extra bridge work will cost.
"Due to the extra work needed, especially after the gusset plate review, I can't give you this figure in a short amount of time," Young said.
Gusset plates are used in bridge construction to connect steel beams or trusses to load-bearing columns. Last year, it was reported that the gusset plates bolted to the cross beams on the old bridge were too antiquated and the project would require the design and manufacture of new ones to ensure the bridge met new safety standards.
The cost of building the new bridge from scratch, he said, is about $12 million, and the demolition of the old railroad viaduct and construction of the new one was included in the original contract.
The city's contribution to the Great River Bridge project, according to Mayor Daniel M. Knapik, totaled about $5 million. Those funds paid for 40 percent of costs of the initial design more than a decade ago.
In addition to the design work, the city also paid for the taking of three parcels of property.
Municipal agencies, like the Westfield Gas & Electric and Water and Sewer departments are also responsible for picking up the cost of any upgrades that go beyond basic replication of what was in use when construction began.
For example, the additional costs of installing larger gas, water and sewer lines is being borne by those city departments.
"Part of the process is to take care of public utilities," mayor Knapik said. "If a department decided to upgrade, it is responsible for the difference in cost between the original and the upgrade."
It is important to note, he added, that the city, in conjunction with state officials and other project planners, conducted public hearings more than 10 years ago when the project was in the planning.
"There's a lot of criticism by the citizens today, but they should have been there when the entire project was presented to the public years ago," mayor Knapik said. "This was all explained when it was pitched a decade ago. There were a minimum of two DOT public forums."

More Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
KREATOR increased with their "Pleasure To Kill" in comparison to their debut album. A real "More" record: More faster, more brutal, more heavy, more better. Their second record in 1986 could only beaten by SLAYER's "Reign In Blood" and partly also by DARK ANGELS's "Darkness Descends". But in Europe they had been the unrestricted rulers of the believers.
Take songs like the over the top "Death Is Our Saviour", the crushing title track, the slightly slower but in the chorus again attacking "Riot Of Violence", sang by drummer Ventor, the great structured "The Pestilence", the catchy "Under The Guillotine", and and and... This record is a real masterpiece. In spite of all speed, with its breaks, the record offers also the needed diversified elements.
Also the cover artwork of Phil Lawyere, which shows a devil, who stands on a skull mountain and destroys some attacking skeletons, shows along with the punishing production of Harris Johns what is going on.
On CD you'll get also 3 bonus tracks of the Maxi "Flag Of Hate", released in the same year, and also those songs belong to the best KREATOR material ever written, especially the superb "Awakening The Gods". (Online November 22, 2002)

As Barcelona close in on the signing of Javier Mascherano from Liverpool, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's future at the club seems to becoming ever more complicated.
As Barcelona close in on the signing of Javier Mascherano from Liverpool, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's future at the club seems to becoming ever more complicated.
AC Milan have confirmed they are trying to sign Barcelona forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic and judging by their pre-season form, they really need a spark.
Real Madrid's signing of Germany midfielder Mesut Ozil is further proof that they have opted for youth and pace this year, after glitz and glamour failed to knock Barcelona off their perch last season.
Now that the Spanish region of Catalonia has banned bullfighting, what will happen to striker David's Villa goal-scoring celebrations?
Events, dear boy, events… If they can blow governments off course, they can blow the plans of football managers right out of the water. Just ask Arsene Wenger.
Breaking news from Spain, where Barcelona have agreed a deal to sign David Villa from Valencia for 40 million euros.
Failure and Pep Guardiola are words that haven't appeared together in the same sentence for some time, but the Barcelona coach has a big task on his hands if he is to prevent them being applied to his side's end of the season.
Reaching a European Cup final for the first time since 1972 is success in itself for Inter Milan fans, as witnessed by the delirious scenes at Milan Malpensa airport as the team arrived back from eliminating holders Barcelona.
Barcelona attempt to come back from a 3-1 defeat in the first leg when they host Inter Milan at Camp Nou. Will it be a happier night for Lionel Messi? Can Pep Guardiola get his own back on Jose Mourinho? Or will the Italians confirm their superiority and make it through to the final in Madrid?
It's considered irresponsible for a coach to call for fans to intimidate visiting teams and referees, just as it courts controversy to accuse rivals of diving a lot.

It a battle of golfing families on Staten Island, the duo of Steve and Steven Pedersen won top honors in the gross division with a 70 in the Parent/Child tournament at Silver Lake on Saturday.
Ernie and son Chris DeMenna took the net section of the tournament, carding a 63.
The final decision was based on a close sudden-death playoff between the Pedersen and DeMenna teams, that came down to the ninth hole.
Steve Pedersen and Chris DeMenna have been to many playoffs and both have won titles on their own, but this was a different scenario when they shared the competition with a blood relative. Young Steven Pedersen, who recently turned 14, split the fairway on the playoff hole with a drive that stopped 55 yards short of the green. The DeMenna team struggled a bit with dad, Ernie, in the trees and Chris leaving his second shot short of the green.
Steve Pedersen, who later admitted to being in unfamiliar territory so close to the green, flew a wedge shot over the flagstick to a downhill lie on the back of the green. The younger Pedersen flashed some solid talent by chipping to three feet of the hole. When the senior DeMenna, who was crying out for something to sooth his nervous stomach, missed the 5-footer for par, Pedersen senior tapped in the winning putt to win the Gross division.
Since both teams were also tied in the net section of the tournament and rules state that a team may only win one division that title went to the DeMenna team who posted a low round of 63.

YORK – We all have strengths and weaknesses within our personalities and usually we have not much choice in the matter. Some are stamped out as introverts, some contemplative, some reckless and on and on – prone to the spectrum of emotions, or to hiding them.
Penn State now has something it did not have this time last year – a head football coach who loves to work a crowd. He's a natural.
Bill O'Brien could not help the way he was. But it's certain he is at this moment in NFL Draft analysis nirvana and not at all missing his comparable May duties as a college coach. O'Brien did not relish palm-pressing and back-slapping.
He faked it the best he could the first year of the Penn State Coaches' Caravan. And he did enjoy spending time in the tour bus with the other coaches, especially men's basketball coach Patrick Chambers. But by last spring, his contempt for the entire public-relations game was difficult to hide.
In venues such as Tuesday's event amidst 250 Nittany nuts stuffed into the Penn State-York Campus gym, O'Brien used to perpetually look like a 13-year-old on his first date – like he just wanted to go out in the sun and play baseball.
On the other hand, James Franklin seems like he's never seen one hand he wouldn't love to shake. For this part of the endless duties of a college coach, he's built perfectly. Even if he does have one Adrian Monk tendency:
"I'm a little bit of a germaphobe," Franklin openly confessed as he fussed with a bottled water that appeared to have the cap seal broken. "Is this for me? Coquese wasn't drinking this earlier?" he asked about PSU's charming women's basketball coach Coquese Washington who preceded him at the small press conference beforehand. He was assured it was a new bottle.
"No, this is opened. It didn't pop when I opened it."
"I opened it," responded PSU associate athletics director Jeff Nelson.
How Franklin could be that conscious of foreign bacteria and function the way he does in crowds would qualify as a mystery along the lines of Flight 370.
It's fair to say at this point, four months after his hiring, that Franklin likes to command his realm – all of it, not just his team, but everything and everyone around it. To do that, to some extent, he must be liked. So, meet-n-greets are right down his alley.
While O'Brien was famous for saying the only opinions he truly cared about amid his job were the ones in the locker room, Franklin is the 180-degree opposite. He shamelessly trots out the line from a billion first job interviews and does it so passionately that he has you believing it:
"I love people. I'm a people person. I've always been a people person my entire life."
"I don't know I've always been someone who appreciates getting to know people, studying body language. I've been that way since I was a kid."
Except you don't have to meet throngs of strangers and smile when you're a kid, unless you're Selena Gomez.
"I was all over the place. I was out of the house first thing in the morning. My sister was different. She'd sleep till 1 o'clock. If I did that, I'd wake up and feel like the day's been wasted.
"I was gone in the morning. I was playing all day long until Mom screamed for me to come in the house."
From a more practical standpoint, he said he simply chooses to make the best of necessities:
"All of these things are part of the job – the recruiting, the coaching, the academics, getting out into the community, interacting with the media – they're all parts of the job. And I'm going to have to do them one way or another. So, why not embrace them and enjoy them and have fun with it?"
Although, you watch him taking photos with dozens of lion-paw-printed fans in a windowless branch-campus gym hidden from a gorgeous day and do it with the same enthusiastic grin and it's hard to think it's drudgery for him.
On Saturday, Franklin threw out the first pitches for State College Little League with Chambers. At one point, he decided to "go off-script" and invite all 200 or so kids out to second base for a photo op:
"It became a mosh pit. I was afraid somebody was gonna get squashed. And that wouldn't have gone over too well."
Then, he said, there was the 90-minute excursion to Wegman's, everyone's favorite northeast grocery experience. He wasn't there browsing:
"Everybody talks about Wegman's so I went to Wegman's and got five apples and it took me about an hour and a half. I will never do that again… Bunch of people came up just to say hi and good luck. …
"My issue is, a lot of people say they don't care what people think. I do. So, when I go to Wegman's and 45 people come up to say hi, I don't want anyone who comes up to leave not having a good impression about me. …
"It's hard to walk away, from an autograph because I want everyone who has an interaction with me or Penn State football for it to be positive. And that's not always possible. At some point, you have to walk away.
"But that's kinda my personality. I want to leave a good impression on everybody. People and what people think are important to me."
If it's just because he's made that way, at this point in an undefeated season, no one in Nittany Nation seems to mind a bit.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- This is ordinarily the place where we say how much we like a movie, but in this case "The Soloist" has already beaten us to it. This is a film that's very pleased with itself, so much so that it's taken away some of the pleasure that should have been reserved for us.
The movie starts on a remarkably promising note. Our protagonist, Steve Lopez, a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, is presented as the kind of intellect who has grown accustomed to the sense of entitlement that his smarts have earned for him. Naturally, he's played by Robert Downey Jr.
When Lopez's laid-off colleagues leave the newsroom with their boxes of belongings ("The Soloist" is the second movie this month, following "State of Play," to address the declining state of the newspaper industry), he scarcely notices them. Why should he? He's on a good story.
The story, or rather the person Lopez is exploiting, is a homeless man named Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx), a brilliant, gifted cellist sidetracked by mental illness who Lopez meets by chance one day on the street.
All of this actually happened, by the way, it's a true story, but it's pure movie magic to see how Ayers is transported by the strains of Beethoven. "I've never loved anything as much as he loves music," marvels Lopez (to the mother of his child, nice touch), but watching Foxx's Ayers, many of us could say the same. It kind of brought tears to our eyes.
It was the rest of the film, the part that really went after our emotions, that kept us thoroughly dry-eyed.
"The Soloist" is directed by Joe Wright, who generated a lot of attention for himself on 2007's overrated "Atonement" by setting up an achingly long, hey-look-at-me, single tracking shot on a beach. Such pretension stopped that movie in its tracks, no pun intended.
This time around, Wright's efforts hit a brick wall when the picture becomes more interested in the sights and sounds of Los Angeles' Skid Row than in the story it had been telling. The movie's first foray into the homeless community is necessary to move the plot along, but by the time Wright's camera comes back for a second visit (or is it the third, or the fourth?) the impression that we're being lectured at gets in the way of our enjoyment of the film.
Yes, yes, the homeless are people, too, and deserve just as much respect as anyone else. Of course they do. Can we get back to the movie now?
"The Soloist" never regains the emotional power of its early scenes, and the script, ultimately, doesn't really go anywhere.
Both Lopez and Ayers have found a friend where there wasn't one before, but the latter is still a paranoid schizophrenic who can't function in society the way he'd like, and it's hard to shake the feeling that Lopez, enlightened though he may be, has profited the most from this relationship in a manner that isn't entirely honest.
What "The Soloist" is forced to become, therefore, is an acting showcase like, say, last winter's "Doubt" -- a pokey, little thing nonetheless packed tight with performances worthy of Oscar consideration.
Oscar winner Foxx, a warm performer who invites audiences in, pushes them away here as a man who must remain frustratingly unknowable to everyone around him. Music remains Ayers' only true friend, and the conversations they share are private. But the more selfish of the two characters in "The Soloist" has to be Lopez. Downey is so deliriously charismatic here, as elsewhere, that we overlook our reservations about the character because the actor playing him is so compelling.
Film is not an actor's medium, however, and when this picture's director sucks the life out of his own creation the strong performances these actors have left behind are unable to defend themselves.

A little about the 5k Color Invasion...
First.."Why?" {the most popular question from our kids, by far!}
1. Short answer...for fun, of course!
2.Long answer... It is a way for us to host an amazing, fun, and increasingly popular family-friendly event to help raise funds to reopen our inclusive family sensory entertainment and resource center and to provide more services to children/families with Autism and special needs...and ALSO, to help our other local non-profit friends too!
100% of the proceeds will stay LOCAL to benefit the kids and families in our Lehigh Valley community.
It is a 5k, untimed, fun run where thousands of participants are covered from head to toe in different colors at each 1k mark! The race finishes with a huge color celebration and after party with family-friendly entertainment and lots of themed activities for kids and adults!
Anyone..all ages and ability levels are welcome and encouraged to participate! You don't need to run- you can walk, jog, or even cartwheel yourself across the finish line...as long as you're having fun! Sorry, no furry friends at this one :(
How it works?
Start out in a fresh white shirt and throughout the run, you'll be bombed with bursts of blue, green, pink, purple, and yellow until your face, shirt, and body come out like a big, beautiful masterpiece of tie-dyed art on other side.What is the "color" that I will be "bombed" with?Non-toxic colored cornstarch that is FDA approved and manufactured in the USA. :)
Cleaning up...
The colored cornstarch is washable, however, we recommend only wearing clothes that you wouldn't mind getting color on. There will be blowing stations to clean off most of the colored powder after the race. We also recommend bringing some towels along to put over the seats in the car for the ride home.
Can I volunteer?
Absolutely! Volunteers are needed! Please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject "Volunteer". Please include your name, contact info, and best time to reach you.
What you get for registering: a personal color packet for race day, a race bib, FREE before and after photos brought to you by FreezeFrame Photobooth!, an event tshirt (must register by 4/1/14), choice of a 1 inch silicon snap bracelet or neon sunglasses (first 500 registered participants), a priceless feeling knowing that your participation is making a HUGE impact on services for children and families in the LV, and an incredibly colorful experience you will NEVER forget!!

text: Looking to purchase my first M4 style AR-15. I'm not going to be using it for competition purposes, only target. I've done price research and aside from a used or a CMMG "bargin bin" rifle, the cheapest I've found is a $659 Doublestar at Bud's. I'm partial to the M&P because of the S&W name and kind of the middle of the road , price wise. And not looking to build a rifle either. Should I buy the least expensive or save for a better rifle?

My overall research interest is in discovering the pathophysiological basis of human diseases such as obesity and diabetes or related disorders. Chronic stress and inflammation are known to accelerate the development of obesity, insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. My research will investigate the pathways that lead from stress and inflammation to chronic disease. In my laboratory, mammalian cell culturing and animal models will be used to test the functional role of various genes and proteins in the pathways that lead to obesity and diabetes. Chemical inhibitors, inducers, knockdown of function using siRNA techniques or mutated gene constructs will be utilized to assess the functional role of any given gene/protein. Additionally, I will collaborate with clinical researchers, to investigate the correlations between clinical symptoms and biological and genetic factors in obesity and diabetes in the Mexican American population.
