Time off has helped Lakers sharpen their focus
Now what?
The Lakers seemingly have emerged from their pre-All-Star Game funk and won three games in a row, having beaten Atlanta, Portland and the Clippers. Those aren't exactly the cream of the NBA, but after losing three consecutive games --including one to Cleveland -- before the break, the Lakers will take any and all victories.
So have their truly turned a corner? Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant, seem to think so. For starters, the Lakers have held their past three opponents to less than 100 points while improving their offensive output. The Lakers are averaging 102.6 points a game.
"I don't know (why the Lakers have turned it around)," Bryant said after Friday's 108-95 victory Friday against the Clippers. "We're going the right things defensively. We're getting points in the paint and holding teams down, which is what you want to be doing.
"I think the rest (during All-Star break) helped a lot. It rejuvenated us, sharpened our focus up with 20 games or so left in the season."
Gasol said the dwindling number of games and chances to catch Dallas for the No. 2 seed in the West is a motivating factor. The Lakers trail the Mavericks by 1 1/2 games.
"We want to position ourselves well in the playoff spotting, and you know, we understand that," Gasol said. "So we have to tighten up in that sense of urgency, and understanding where we're at in the season probably makes us be a little more focused and a little more aggressive."

I have a Corningware 9 cup Stovetop Percolator AND I love it. The problem is that the seal around the metal rim is corroded, so when I pour a cup of coffee, some goes in and leaks out down the outside of the pot. I have left an e-mail with Corningware and posted a question on howtomendit.com. Does anyone know of a way to mend this without chemicals (like silicone sealant)? My DH would like my skin to not turn green!
There was a recall on these pots years ago and they highly recommend not using them. They said there was a problem with the handle-whatever- which could cause burns damage or something like that. I have not gotten rid of mine as I still use it when our electric goes off, but they told me not to use it anymore.
Check for replacement parts on ebay.
I have a new never used 9 cup perculator from corningware, If anyone would like to purchase it.
I only need the percolator glass lid.How much delivered to my address in South Africa.The town is Stellenbosch in the western Cape?
I have a new recalled 9 cup stovetop percolator I would like to sell it for parts only, it is complete and new with instruction book
wacky wherehouse @ ma c . co m
Good luck with your coffee pot. I have an electric 9 cup that leaks near the handle as well. This is common for these pots as far as I know. There was a recall because the handle would suddenly fall apart and caused some injuries. I have used my corning ware coffee pot for over 20 years after I found it in the back under my mothers cabinet. She put it away when she bought a Mr. coffee back in the 70's. I'll keep using this pot leak and all for many more years.
I am not sure how to fix the problem, I have one I found several years ago and use it all the time. I found a copy of the recall and it pertains to the electric pots. Mine is electric and have the same problem. When the handle goes I will find a way to use it any way. I would like one for the stove top or another electric. Love it!
I have a corningware stove top 9 cup coffee pot white blue corn flower and I need either the inside set or the
Filter Basket Lid ( flat lid Top for coffee grinds holder)
does anyone know in central NJ where I can find or does someone have one to sell ?

Urbanadd is a Seattle-based architecture, planning and design firm that serves clients throughout North America. We specialize in cultural/civic, commercial, and residential projects. Our team has designed world-class projects while working at some the Nation's most prominent firms, but founded Urbanadd to practice differently – smaller, more collaborative, and with a passion for the vitality of our communities.
While every project in our office is different, the common thread is our enthusiasm and stewardship of our clients' goals. We take responsibility and ownership to ensure that our role as stewards comes through – for the environment, for the budget, and for our clients' vision. We're passionate about what we do, everyday, with our clients. And we want that excitement to be contagious – to spread through the team and the community to help cultivate better built environments.
Needs and aspirations… Theories and technologies… Schedules and budgets. Channeling these into appropriate and exciting places is what we do.
We begin by exploring a multitude of ideas and possibilities – ensuring the best design ideas evolve into your project. Evaluating their strengths and weaknesses is our strength, all the while gathering feedback from the team. This collaborative and proactive approach has been proven again and again.
Our work is highly contextual. We work hard to ensure our projects tell good stories and complement their surroundings. From distilleries and residences to banks and offices, every project is carefully and thoughtfully integrated into the existing condition.
We don't claim to know everything, so we partner with other experts on your behalf: lean manufacturing consultants, historic preservation consultants, MEP and structural engineers, civil engineers, landscape architects, and acousticians, to name a few.
Being Modernists at heart, we are drawn to simple, elegant aesthetics and honest materiality. We think that great architectural spaces should receive a person, should enable them to experience it, but should not constantly beg for their attention.
We're passionate about getting the most out of life . . . and we carry that zeal into our work. Our brains are more engaged, creative, productive, and resilient when we're in a positive state. So it's important for us to connect with our clients, colleagues and partners on a human level – to collaborate with people we enjoy working and spending time with.
Just as important is our commitment to the causes that inspire us. Both in the nature of our work itself and in our philanthropic efforts, we strive towards goals that include:
Buildings are deeply implicated in the consumption of our limited natural resources. Through elegant design and innovative problem solving, facilities can consume less and last longer, providing exemplary performance and longevity.
Density offers hope: In order to sustain precious natural ecosystems beyond the limits of cities, we need to concentrate on density inside those boundaries. Smart design and intelligent growth yields vibrant urban centers where we want to live, work and play.
Working hard for our clients focuses our energy. Playing hard recharges our batteries. From our Urbanadd Racing pursuits in biking, sailing and triathlons, to varied community activities, we know that balancing work with our life goals leads to a better design practice.
Urbanadd's leadership collectively brings more than 40 years of experience across a breadth of project types and scales. Our practice allows us to provide a high level of leadership engagement on all of our projects.
We're always on the lookout for talented team members. If you have a passion for great design, send your curriculum vitae and portfolio to email@example.com

The south-central to southeast still has yet to experience freezing temperatures and thus lead toward a frost advisory in this location. Temperatures look to bottom out in the 33-35F range. Cooler further west and north as radiational cooling sets up across central Iowa with the surface high centering itself directly overhead. However, with these location already experiencing freezing temperatures, held off on any headlines attm but have mention of frost for continuity across the CWA. .LONG TERM.../Friday night through Thursday/ Issued at 342 PM CDT Thu Oct 20 2016 Friday through Monday...With the 500mb trough moving east of the state during the day Friday, a large upper level ridge begins to build into the region and looks to persist through early next week. Dry forecast through the weekend into Monday, with the only concern focused on temperatures throughout the period and on winds Sunday. A weak mid-level shortwave cuts southeast out of southern Canada Sunday morning and brings some gusty winds during the afternoon hours as mixing increases. Nudged up the winds/gusts during the day Sunday. Tuesday through Thursday...A fairly strong upper level shortwave and associated surface low pressure will bring increasing chances of rain by early Tuesday morning. Ahead of the main surface low, mid-level theta-E advection should help spawn some showers and thunderstorms, and thus cloud cover throughout the day Tuesday. This should inhibit the CAPE building into the state. The GFS and ECMWF are in decent agreement with timing and location of the strong surface low Tuesday night into Wednesday. The strongest forcing and deepest moisture available look to be late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. As mentioned above, limited instability with this system but good deep layer shear along with decent veering through the profile. Plus, strong deep QG forcing Tuesday night combined with a decent PV anomaly pushing across the state Wednesday morning should be enough to keep mention of thunder going. Timing is the key if any instability can build into the state during the day Tuesday whether or not the first weaker system can dissipate to allow for destabilization during the day. The main threat looks to be locally heavy rain. The is plenty of theta-E advection ahead of the trough Tuesday night with PWATs nearing 1.0 inch and for this time of year close to the 90% of the mean. Low confidence with any severe weather attm but locally heavy rain seems to better threat. && .AVIATION.../For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night/ Issued at 1150 PM CDT Thu Oct 20 2016 VFR conditions will prevail through the period. Light winds overnight will become south/southwest 5 to 12 mph during the day. Mid level clouds will increase during the afternoon then scatter again by Friday evening. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Frost Advisory from 3 AM to 8 AM CDT Friday for IAZ073>075- 081>086-092>097. && $$ SHORT TERM...Podrazik LONG TERM...Podrazik AVIATION...Donavon

As African Americans faced first slavery and then Jim Crow, they nestled in the black church as a haven. In the 1950s and '60s, blacks congregated to fight legal oppression. In The Color of Christ, American religion historians Edward Blum and Paul Harvey argue that blacks and whites were once unified under the mantle of Christianity in efforts to combat societal vice and ills. Yet in more recent decades, black religiosity has shifted.
Though many within the black community continue to showcase their religious conservatism, others have slowly drifted away.

Take & Read
Mark and Empire: Feminist Reflections, by Laurel K. Cobb. Laurel Cobb interprets the Gospel of Mark from the perspective of three decades of work in international public health and social welfare programs. Weaving themes of poverty, health, and justice work through recent scholarship on Mark and empire, she offers a moving and challenging practical theology of discipleship.
In some spaces, stories are told of glass ceilings but with no mention of those stuck in the basement. Many African American Christians tell stories of driving while black or other times they've personally experienced racial profiling. But they are silent when it comes to the devastating impact of police brutality and mass incarceration on poor black communities. Some love to point people's attention to how their presence has too often caused white people to cross the street or to clutch their purse, but yet turn their faces away from how young black people are stereotyped and criminalized as thugs and jezebels.
2014 demonstrated that, whatever the significance of Barack Obama's two terms as our first African American president, we have hardly moved beyond national struggles over race and class. Failures to indict white policemen accused of the unjust killings of black men precipitated protests and online shouting matches about racial inequality, or just how to talk about race. Christians participated in (hopefully) profitable discussions such as the December 16, 2014 "A Time to Speak" event, hosted by Pastor Bryan Lorritts of Fellowship Memphis, at the Lorraine Motel and National Civil Rights Museum.
December 16 was also the 300th birthday of George Whitefield, the most important evangelist of the Great Awakening of the 18th century.

To fully celebrate the life and legacy of Maya Angelou, we must contextualize her 86 years of living within the black religious traditions that influenced her and birthed her deep spirituality. While countless scholars have analyzed her literary, political, and cultural contributions, few have situated her work within the scope of black religious life, particularly the African-American Christian tradition.
A History of African American Christianity
Paul Harvey's introduction to the history of African-American Christianity emphasizes both the
fraught relationship between black and white Christians and the tensions
within black religious institutions and communities.
Black theology as an intellectual discipline and as systematic discourse is virtually synonymous with the name and academic career of James H. Cone. Currently the Charles A. Briggs Distinguished Professor of Systematic Theology at New York's Union Theological Seminary, Cone is considered by many to be the father of the contemporary black theology movement.

I am so close to cancelling my RCS scheduled for Thursday 39weeks 1 day. At first my OBGYN was convinced I would need a RCS but now feels like a TOL is definitely worth it and what she recommends. She actually thinks it would be worth it to reschedule my C-sec for 40/41 weeks and see what my body can do.
My first I fully dilated and pushed for 3 hours before complications, she was just too big for me (8lbs 14oz at 41 weeks).
This time the baby is measuring smaller, and I am already dilated 2-3cm effaced 50% as of last week and OB said my pelvis was not overly small. I need to decide now..... I would really love a VBAC not so much as a birth experience but because I am scared of the surgery and another recovery especially having a 3 year old to take care of.
My first recovery went remarkably well and I recovered quickly even though I had labored for 24hours+ previously. I am thinking a recovery from VBAC would be even easier though and that is what I am torn on.
My biggest fear is laboring again and another e-csec. My DH wants whatever I do though he admits he would prefer to just go in on Thursday. In my gut I think I will go into labor on my own in the next week. I asked about being induced instead and they will not entertain that until I am at least 40 weeks.
Sorry so long, so my question is the recovery so much easier from a VBAC?

Johnson withdraws from Pro Bowl
For the second straight year, Lions Calvin Johnson won't play in the Pro Bowl despite being selected.
For the second straight year,
Detroit Lions receiver
Calvin Johnson won't play in the Pro Bowl despite being selected to the NFC team.
Johnson, who broke the NFL's single-season record with 1,964 receiving yards, was hampered by a knee injury for much of the season.
General manager Martin Mayhew said during a postseason interview that it didn't appear Johnson needed surgery on the ailing knee but that rest was essential.
Johnson frequently missed practice throughout the season, but he never missed a game.
"To do it (break the record) when he's fighting through all these different injuries ... I can't say enough about the job that Calvin Johnson did and the player he is and the person he is," Mayhew said. "I was just amazed by the accomplishment."
Tampa Bay receiver Vincent Jackson is expected to take Johnson's spot on the NFC roster. The Pro Bowl is Jan. 27 in Honolulu.
Long snapper Don Muhlbach was added to the NFC team by coach Mike McCarthy.
Muhlbach, in his ninth season with the Lions, has been extremely reliable in his role. Kicker Jason Hanson called him "a huge part of my success."
"He is as accurate and consistent as there is in the league," Hanson said. "This is a great honor for him and is well deserved."

oh sorry
No offense... but...
You can get pretty much all this info from wikipedia and Euro NCAP (under freedom of info act), so... you're just copy pasting stuff? (plus a video easily searched on youtube) Not as if you can offer anything unique like personal knowledge. All you added was 'meaning it receive a good rating'...

Posted 07 September 2008 - 06:41 PM
here is the info of the crash: The Ford Mustang was redesigned for the 2005 model year and modified beginning with 2007 models manufactured after May 2007 to reduce the likelihood of door opening in frontal offset crashes (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door).
Two tests of a 2007 Mustang convertible were conducted, one before the door modifications were made, and one after. During the first crash test, the window glass in the down position pushed on the driver door latch linkage, and the door opened. Ford responded by adding structure in the doors to prevent the window glass from contacting the latch mechanism and asked the Institute to test the Mustang again. In the second test, the driver door did not open.
The two cars are rated separately, but the overall rating for each is Acceptable.
Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was reasonably well controlled. The dummy's head hit the A-pillar, which bent downward and inward during the crash.
Injury measures — Measures taken from the neck and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. A high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the airbag, indicating that head injuries would be possible. Forces on the right tibia indicate that lower leg injuries would also be possible. Head acceleration from the A-pillar hit was low.
meaning it receive a good rating
thank for the suggestion
also here is the full crash test:
overall rating as 5 stars
results of the Mustangs also applies to the Shelby!

HOUSTON -- Yao Ming didn't feel his best Saturday night, but wouldn't let that stop him in the fourth quarter.
Yao scored 17 of his 25 points in the second half and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the Houston Rockets to a 91-79 victory over the Toronto Raptors.
Yao has been battling flu-like symptoms recently and though it showed much of the game, as he had a season-high eight turnovers.
Seven of those through the first three quarters.
"I had some problems breathing," Yao said. "I felt like I had a lot of fluid in my lungs and in my nose.
"But I know in the fourth quarter you can't make mistakes. I had seven turnovers and I didn't want to get any more. I just wanted to put the ball in the hoop and get the lead and go home and sleep."
Coach Rick Adelman praised his team's perseverance.
"It was a tough game for both teams," Adelman said. "But our guys stayed with it defensively and in the fourth quarter we just tried to go through Yao."
Tracy McGrady missed his second straight game with left knee tendinitis. He is day-to-day.
"We talked about a way to win without one of our key players," said Rafer Alston, who had 18 points and five assists. "We haven't done that this year when Tracy or I were out. So we just want to finally show we have some depth."
Bonzi Wells had 13 points and 11 rebounds as Houston won its second straight and third in four games.
Chris Bosh led the Raptors with 19 points. Jamario Moon and Jose Calderon each scored 11 as Toronto lost for the fourth time in five games. Calderon, who is sixth in the NBA with 7.9 assists per game, had 10.
"We're trying to figure out why we're not scoring," coach Sam Mitchell said. "We normally are top five in scoring but we have to try and get some easy baskets. All of our baskets are grind-out baskets and we're working too hard."
Bosh and Mitchell had a discussion after the game.
"We had to clear some things up and Coach and I came to a middle ground," Bosh said. "I hate to lose and he hates to lose and we just talked about it.
"We need to do a better job of taking it at teams. If we start early and play aggressive, Coach and I feel we can do a better job."
Yao scored eight in the fourth quarter, including four straight free throws to give Houston an 85-75 lead with 2:29 to play.
With Yao scoring nine and Alston eight in the third quarter, the Rockets led by seven with 2:52 left in the period. But Bosh had eight points, and Calderon and Moon five apiece to pull the Raptors to 68-64 after three quarters.
Both teams struggled in the first quarter, with Houston hitting only 33 percent from the field and Toronto going 7-of-24 (29 percent). They were tied at 19 heading to the second.
The game remained back and forth until Toronto went on a 9-1 run to take a 40-34 lead with 1:36 left in the second quarter. But Houston scored five points the final 5 seconds on Alston's 3-pointer, and a steal and layup by Shane Battier to knot it at 40 at halftime.
It was the fifth game this season McGrady has missed due to injury. The Rockets are 2-3 without McGrady this season and 13-42 without him in his four seasons in Houston. ... Wells made his second straight start in place of McGrady and his third start overall. ... The Raptors, who lead the NBA in 3-point shooting at .421, didn't attempt a 3-pointer the first quarter and didn't make one until Carlos Delfino hit one with 2:55 left in the half. They hit just 2-of-10 for the night. ... Toronto, which beat San Antonio 83-73 Friday, is 4-5 in the second game of back-to-backs this season. Houston, which defeated Memphis 103-83 Friday, is 6-12.

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- The clock was ticking down after one last snap, and the celebration was already starting around Braxton Miller.
Battered and bruised, exhausted and twice injured during the game that was finally ending, the Ohio State sophomore wouldn't let go of the football.
So it stayed right where the Buckeyes want it, locked in his hands for better or worse.
His teammates swarmed around him, the cameras came crushing in and the well-wishers kept coming up to pat Miller on the back. But he simply wouldn't let go of the prized possession Ohio State had entrusted to him on a sunny Saturday at Spartan Stadium.
At one point Miller set the ball down on the 34-yard line to do a quick television interview after wrapping up a 17-16 win on the road over Michigan State and the best defense in the Big Ten, though he quickly scooped it back up before walking slowly to join the band, the veteran players and a coach who smiled and wrapped an arm around his shoulder and dragged him to the front of the party.
Miller might have been a bit loose with that ball at times during the 60-minute grind before that, but Urban Meyer again left little doubt that his team is going as far as the multipurpose quarterback can take it.
"The toughness -- man, he's banged up," the Buckeyes coach said. "He's banged up, but he just kept coming back, kept coming back.
"There were some good players on that field, but, you know, I'm a Braxton guy."
The Buckeyes were again Braxton's team as they opened up Big Ten play, turning him loose for 23 carries against perhaps the best rush defense they will face all season and then leaning on him for 23 more passing attempts.
He delivered on the ground, returning twice after injury concerns to rush for 136 yards and keep the chains moving.
There were some mistakes along the way. The reads in the option rushing game weren't perfect against a tenacious defense that appeared to frustrate Ohio State at times. A throw was forced into coverage and intercepted. Miller was perhaps too careless with the football and coughed up a costly fumble.
But he bounced back from all of those to make sure he was the one holding the ball when the outcome went final and the record officially stayed perfect for a fifth consecutive week.
"The kid played tough, he played hard, he put the team on his back," offensive coordinator Tom Herman said. "The attitude and effort and ability he has can't be taught a lot of times.
"We had a lot of guys step up today, especially up front. But when you're playing a defense this good and this talented and this well-coached and this aggresiive, it becomes really difficult to find ways to run the football. ... There's no doubt that he's the fuel in our engine."
The machine wasn't always firing on all cylinders against the Spartans, and Miller looked like he needed a tuneup as he made his way off the field once the band stopped playing in a corner of Spartan Stadium.
Making his way up the tunnel, Miller finally let go of that ball he had been holding since the clock had expired and tossed it into the stands. Smiling outside the locker room, he admitted he no longer needed it.
"Nah," Miller said. "I'm not selfish."
Miller had already squeezed everything he could have out of that ball anyway.

Jim al-Khalili talks to the former chief scientific advisor, Robert May about restoring public trust in science in the wake of the BSE crisis and at the height of the anti-GM campaigns of the mid-nineties. If he were a species of plant, Bob May says he would be the "weedy type", moving as he has into new fields of science and proliferating rapidly, rather than a more established, specialised variety. He has applied mathematics first to physics, then ecology and, most recently, to banking.

A decade of reflection on these pervasive questions has passed, and educators now teach lessons on the world-changing day as part of history — often to students too young to remember the tragedy firsthand.
The responsibility of discussing 9/11 with cautious honesty has not been taken lightly by Patricia Little of Glassboro High School, Deb Sillery of Paul W. Carleton Elementary School or Dann Francis of Cumberland Regional High School, all who were also on the front lines of reaction 10 years ago and given freedom to use their best judgment by administrators at their respective schools.
"We had a satellite feed in the classroom and watched the second tower fall," recalled Little, who was teaching 11th- and 12th-grade sociology at her Gloucester County school on 9/11.
"It was a controversial decision at the time, to watch it, but it was history in the making. My feeling as an educator was, to be in a classroom with an adult, to watch it together, was a better educational opportunity than their wandering in the halls and hearing it from other students."
Francis, an 11th-grade U.S. History II teacher in Cumberland County whose class focuses on the 20th century, remembers the chaos and conjecture spreading at the time, before most students had cell phones. He pointed out that the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995 initially was mistakenly speculated to have been the work of Muslim extremists, and he chose to leave the TV off until definitive, accurate information could be provided in his classroom.
As a 5th-grade teacher in Salem County, Sillery said she and her fellow educators tried to hide the fear they were feeling that day and wanted to keep things as normal as possible to comfort the 10-year-olds, who began piecing together what had happened after they got home from school on Sept. 11, 2001.
"By the next day they had all heard about it, so little by little, we tried to incorporate it with social studies. We just kind of let them talk and express their concerns and fears but didn't dwell on it," Sillery said.
"They mainly wanted to know, 'Why did they do that?' and we have to step lightly with that one. We have to say they didn't have some of the beliefs that we had. For some reason they were really angry at our country, and this was their way of telling us that, and a lot of the people involved were led to believe what they were doing was right and were willing to give their own lives for this because they believed in it so strongly."
A few boys in Sillery's class commented "how cool it was to see a plane fly into such a big building," which she gently explained was not at all the same as a special effect in a movie.
"The purpose was not to look cool, it was to hurt people. We had to realign their thinking," said Sillery.
Little, who now teaches high school U.S. history and psychology in addition to sociology, said the initial reactions of most of her students were shock and fears of insecurity, which evolved through a natural grieving process into anger and blame.
"There have been terrorist groups that reign in the name of religion — political terrorist groups that use religion to gather people who otherwise have no meaning in their lives — but this wasn't the work of a religious organization," said Little. "This was the work of political motivation, and trying to separate out those issues — religion, ethnicity and the political motivations of this group — that's what was really important for me at that time and still is.
"There's no doubt that, when we have people protesting against a mosque in New York City at ground zero, we still can't separate the religion from the political terrorism. It continues to be a theme I deal with my students and we deal with as a country, as a people," she noted.
Lesson plans related to 9/11 in Little's classrooms will touch on processing and dealing with facts from a historical perspective; understanding stereotyping, ethnicity and religion from a sociological perspective; and looking at the reaction of individuals and groups through the lens of psychology.
"It's sensitive and needs to be treated with care and caution and honesty — that's kind of my philosophy with everything we teach," said Little.
Sillery acknowledged that talking about 9/11 with 5th-graders is a "tough responsibility," especially with the children who don't have any knowledge of what happened.
"You have to start from square one. I may try to relate it to bullies — (terrorists) were the bullies, and Osama bin Laden was the head bully, so to speak, who kind of ran the show," Sillery said. "Hopefully, because the leader's been caught, things will continue to get better. I don't want them to be afraid. When they come in this room, I want it to be a safe feeling."
With his older crowd, Francis plans to focus his discussion of Sept. 11 on how and why the world has changed in the decade since.
"There's really no being off the grid in America anymore, but that's a price we, as a society, are willing to pay to at least feel secure," Francis said.
"These students were 1st- or 2nd-graders when it happened, so to them, cameras on street corners and video monitoring are the way it's always been. For them, the War in Iraq has always been around. Every class has a student who knows someone — a cousin, a friend, someone — serving in the military in Iraq or Afghanistan."
Francis acknowledged the difficulty of balancing political viewpoints when discussing 9/11 and its aftermath, but said he encourages his students to think for themselves.
"I try to get them to think of two sides of every story; the extremists were certainly not right, but this is why they thought they were doing it, and in a different set of circumstances, it might be viewed entirely differently," Francis said. "George Washington, people in American history lauded as heroes, could have been defined as terrorists — anyone using violence to attain an objective. There are certainly examples of that being successful, but it doesn't work in today's world as far as long-lasting solutions. I encourage them to express themselves as long as it's a reasonable, not a hateful, type of expression."
Little spoke carefully when addressing the challenge of leading a high-school discussion of the polarizing topic of post-9/11 military conflict led by the United States.
"I try to be a patriot, and I do believe the reason we are in those areas is to create stability, to help these host nations weed out the radicals that otherwise undermine social stability," Little said. "Now that we're there, we have an imperative to see the job through. As a person and as a public school educator, I support the government's choices, but I also believe it's important to educate students so they understand why those particular political choices were made."
The 10th anniversary of 9/11 will be but one moment on a continuing time line of American history, and teachers recognize that no lesson plan could possibly presume to fully encapsulate all there is to know about the tragic event and its rippling aftermath.
"In the past year, with everything going on in Egypt and Libya, it's an ongoing conversation," Francis said. "It reminds me of '89, when the Berlin Wall came down; in two to three years, things were changing so rapidly. It was history going on.
