Book three in the Twilight saga is by far my favorite of those books published. (Breaking Dawn, book 4, is coming out in August) Eclipse is simply beautiful. It's longer than the other two books but does not contain chapter one of the next book (darnit!). In Twilight, true love was found. In New Moon, true love was lost. In Eclipse true love is a choice.
Eclipse is all about Jacob and Edward and their love for Bella. Edward hates Bella's attachment to Jacob, but he feels he should not get between. Why? Simply put, because Edward feels he should suffer the consequences of his actions last year. That having to deal with Jacob is part of the price he has to pay for his foolish decision to leave Bella.
Victoria, the vampire out to get Bella from the last book is still at large. It is Bella who puts all the clues together and comes up with the answer. Edward and Jacob and the rest of the Cullens and Werewolves have to work together to protect her. Are the dogs and bloodsuckers really going to work together? Hmm… you could say trouble is in the air.
I have three favorite scenes in this book. The first is the night Bella goes over to the Cullens for her weekend abduction (this is part of the plan with the werewolves and the vampires) and stays with Edward alone. I won't say exactly why I like this scene, but if you could probably guess if you have read the other books by this point. I loved it. It is hands down the best scene out of all three books. I laughed out loud quite a few times because of Bella's remarks.
The second is Bella's quasi dream where she overhears Edward and Jacob talking in the tent. Jacob asks that Edward speak plainly since he can't hear his thoughts like Edward can hear Jacob. They talk about Bella and Edward is so noble in this scene you just want to find him and cuddle him to death. Pun intended. Their truce ends at daylight.
And lastly I loved the ending scenes from the time Bella stops crying to the very end. They feel like one big scene, culminating once again in Edward and Bella's meadow. It is here he's determined to be the selfless he's ever been. He's been watching her and it seems she's doing everything everybody else wants, making them happy at her own expense. So he puts his wants aside and lets Bella choose how to best make herself happy. She's happy right where she is and the other pain will fade in time… she hopes.
The point of view changes from there to Jacob's and as I read it I was feeling vindictive. Not a very nice thing to begrudge a fictional character, but I was glad for his pain. I still am. It's just another sign in my opinion at Stephenie Meyer's skill at writing her own characters. We don't get that wrapped up in the story too often. It is very rare, last seen in Harry Potter, the story of the boy wizard. I hope you will pick up this saga and find yourself as riveted by this compelling love story as I was.
Rating: 5 Stars
Happy Readings!
P.S. What book four will be about I can not begin to guess. True love is able to heal all wounds? What do you think? Leave a comment and tell me!

Few controlled trials exist to demonstrate the efficacy and the risks of pharmacologic agents used in treating pediatric, and more specifically neonatal patients. It is not different for the central nervous system altering class of drugs, benzodiazepines (BZDs). Little information is known about the long-term effects of BZDs use in neonates as anxiolytics and sedatives causing trepidation with their use in the clinical setting. Insufficient data related to the use of BZDs result in a lack of clear recommendations to guide caregivers at the bedside on the safest administration patterns to avoid long-term adverse effects. However, caring for ill neonates, in particular surgical patients and infants requiring prolonged hospitalizations, necessitates the use of these agents. A literature search within the electronic database, PubMed, of English language, full-text articles published between 2007 and 2012 was undertaken to determine the state of the science regarding the use of BZDs in neonates. These medications cause unwanted effects in neonates with immature hepatic function (primary site of metabolism) and during a developmental period of tremendous neuroplasticity. It benefits caregivers to recognize the need for improved monitoring of stress experienced by infants in the NICU and understand the impact of prolonged agitation and subacute pain on infant development.

Glomping chibis, people with animal ears, and a host of perverted characters—at first glance, it's hard to tell what makes Cuticle Detective Inaba at all offensive. After all, it's all of the same stuff anime producers have been dishing out at us since I was twelve and watching my first anime show, The Slayers. Exaggerated faces and emotional responses, hapless villains and slapstick violence; over the years these tropes have become indiscernible from anime as a genre.
And that's when it hit me—this stuff has been going on for decades. In every season—in nearly every title—you can expect to see a handful of the same old tropes. Some series are good at putting their own spin on tropes, or at least elbowing the viewer in acknowledgement, like Nichibros or Sergeant Frog. What makes Cuticle Detective Inaba so obnoxious is that it wholeheartedly embraces so many tropes without irony or comment.
Luckily, I've thought of a way to spice up this otherwise uncreative show. Last night with the help of Twitter, I brainstormed some of anime's most tired tropes to create an anime trope bingo card.
Feel free to print it out and try your luck. I'm going for a blackout with Cuticle Detective Inaba.
What are you watching from the Winter 2013 anime season? I'd appreciate your recommendations for a show that doesn't make my eyes roll so much.
Update: the talented NightMiles created a randomizing HTML/JavaScript version of my bingo card. Check it out!
Somehow I want to make one of these specifically for otome game anime, only with tropes as "I will protect you" and "yangiri" as well as the famous "doormat hero". Then again Arcana Famiglia had a breast groping scene. …. HEY another TROPE :D! Accidental/Intentional breast grope.
That's a good one. A less specific "guy falls on girl and grabs her boob" trope. Feel free to take my template and put in your own tropes!
Other tropes you could put:
Big weapon in small pocket
Attack presentation
Destroy wall, but not ball (Like Ryugaa Dragon's Kick from Captian Tsubasa)
Puu Puu (from Mokona fame)
Macross Missile Massacre (for similar attacks)
Sisters-bashed guy…
It's heartening that a number of my favorite shows score zero only 1-2 for this card. Also, some of this is in how you pull it off: "Princess Jellyfish" wouldn't be the show it is without the crossdressing character.
I love this, it's such a fun idea~
I agree, I think the tropes are starting to grate on me as well and certain ones in particular more than others. I guess it happens to everyone who consumes too much anime. xD

A question, though I can't guarentee I can get back to you before your time limit: Do you know Lagrangian methods?
If so then my suggestion is to set up your generalized coordinates as the coordinate of the CM of the block and the angle the rod makes.
I'll get back to you on this later today, when I can.

In the fall of 2006 the Allied Arts Council (AAC) established a Facilities Steering Committee to work with the City of Lethbridge in an assessment of our arts facilities. In the spring of 2007 the AAC Facilities Steering Committee initiated the Arts Re:Building Together Campaign, a grass roots campaign initiative to raise awareness and support for improving arts facilities in Lethbridge. The campaign identified three arts buildings: the Yates Memorial Centre, the Bowman Arts Centre and the Southern Alberta Art Gallery as cornerstone facilities in our community requiring care and attention.
The campaign was highly successful and on July 14, 2007 the Finance Committee of City Council approved four arts capital projects for inclusion in the City's Ten Year Capital Plan.
- Mayor's Luncheon for Business and the Arts
- Lethbridge Arts Days
- Awards & Scholarships
- Arts Facilities
- Election Arts Surveys

Hey Sabinak.
For this question you will have to make a few assumptions: are the probability of people meeting up (and then getting married/having a kid) the same for all people?
I think that this problem is a lot more complicated than you think because the way that people meet and marry is not as random as the above suggestion would have.
People tend to mingle in their own social circles which makes this problem very difficult since you now have to classify people according to their "circle" and do so in a specific way.
All these sort of things need to be factored into the model to make it even half useful as a prediction tool.
How badly do you need this answered?

Fixed mortgage rates hit record lows
WASHINGTON - Fixed mortgage rates dipped to all-time lows while the refinance index reached its highest level in eight months for the week ended July 19, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's weekly survey. The market composite index of mortgage loan applications increased 12.9% to 815.2 from 722.2 the previous week.

Refinancing activity represented 61.2% of total applications, up from 53.4% the previous week. The average interest rate for 30-year fixed rate mortgages was 6.26%, down from 6.31% the previous week. That was a new record low for the 30-year fixed rate, said the MBA. The average interest rate for 15-year fixed rate mortgages was 5.7%, decreasing from 5.75 the week before.

Kitten's Dumplings regains winning thread in QE II
But wider out, Kitten's Dumplings was producing a superior kick, and she quickly forged ahead. Alterite kept on doggedly to threaten on the inside, and Caroline Thomas flashed home belatedly, but neither could overhaul Kitten's Dumplings. The winner negotiated 1 1/8 firm-turf miles in 1:48 2/5 and furnished $11.80 to win.
"Good ones are easy to (train)," trainer Mike Maker noted. "She's a little tough to deal with. She needs more schooling in the winner's circle. She looked a little nervous in there."
Maker commented on why Leparoux rode Kitten's Dumplings onto the track early while the remainder of the field stayed in the paddock and walking ring.
"With the crowd today at Keeneland (32,717, a record attendance for the fall meet), we thought we'd get her out of there and play it a little safe," Maker said.
Leparoux was familiar with her preferred tactics.
"She always comes from behind," Leparoux said. "We had the pace today; they went very fast up front. I tried to settle her behind, and she made a big run at the end.
"I tried to get a jump on Johnny (Velazquez, riding Alterite) before I actually asked this filly. We got to the lead and he never could catch us."
With this first Grade 1 laurel to her credit, Kitten's Dumplings has compiled a record of 12-6-1-0, $691,262. A two-length debut winner at Saratoga as a juvenile, she was a rallying fourth in the Natalma at Woodbine in her stakes bow, and then finished up the track in the Alcibiades at Keeneland after stumbling at the start. She concluded her juvenile campaign with a three-length tally in the La Senorita on the turf at Retama Park.
Seventh in the Ginger Brew at Gulfstream to kick off 2013, Kitten's Dumplings was runner-up in the Florida Oaks at Tampa Bay Downs next out. She again proved not to be at her best over the Keeneland Polytrack, finishing a distant fifth in the Ashland, although she was only 1 1/2 lengths behind the runner-up.
Kitten's Dumplings reverted to turf and turned in two impressive come-from-behind wins at Churchill Downs. In the May 3 Edgewood, the bay blew past her rivals in the stretch to win by 3 3/4 lengths. In the June 15 Regret over nine furlongs, Kitten's Dumplings came from 16 lengths back to win going away by 2 1/4 lengths. She made it three in a row in the July 24 Lake George at Saratoga. Shipped out west for the August 17 Del Mar Oaks, the deep closer had no sort of pace set-up, and did well in the circumstances to get up for fourth.
The Kentucky-bred filly was produced by the winning Grand Slam mare Granny Franny. Kitten's Dumplings' full sister, the aforementioned Granny Mc's Kitten, broke her maiden in the August 28 P.G. Johnson at the Spa, and most recently finished fourth in last Sunday's Miss Grillo.
This is the family of mother-son Irish Group 3 winners Aminata and Swift Gulliver. Kitten's Dumplings' fourth dam is the influential matron *Fanghorn, dam of French co-champion sprinter Double Form. Going even deeper in the maternal ancestry, one finds 1988 champion steeplechaser Jimmy Lorenzo.

Three CU engineering faculty received Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) awards from the National Science Foundation so far this spring. Assistant professors Abbie Liel and Matthew Hallowell of civil, environmental, and architectural engineering, along with Mahmoud Hussein of aerospace engineering sciences, were selected for the prestigious award.
The award comes with a grant of approximately $400,000 over five years to launch the faculty member's research program and support associated teaching and outreach.
Liel, who specializes in structural engineering and structural mechanics, plans to develop a multi-scale methodology for assessing the reductions in seismic risk possible through building retrofit design and policy. Her emphasis on retrofit is motivated by the large number of older buildings that predate major changes to seismic code provisions and, as a result, are vulnerable to earthquake-induced damage.
Hallowell, who is part of the department's construction engineering and management group, will focus on predictive modeling of construction injuries in complex environments and test the hypothesis that over half of the variability in construction injury statistics can be explained by a few basic and inherent attributes of construction environments.
Hussein, who specializes in structural and material systems, will investigate the nonlinear, dissipative mechanics of phononic materials, providing formulations and analytical tools to investigate their application to acoustic/vibration control, blast protection, radio frequency sensing, acoustic imaging, digital signal processing, energy conversion, and other areas.

North Carolina, US: Cape Fear High School Shooting Spurs Hunt for Gunman
ABC News
Mon, 24 Oct 2011 17:00 UTC
At least one student was shot and injured outside of Cape Fear High School, near Fayetteville, N.C., according to ABC News affiliate WTVD.
The girl, who is between 15 and 17 years old, was eating lunch outside a building on the school's campus just after 1 p.m. when the shooting occurred, police said. A manhunt is underway around the school for the gunman and to determine that the area is safe.
"No one has seen anyone on this campus with a gun," Cumberland County Sheriff Earl "Moose" Butler told WTVD.
Witnesses said they saw the teen fall to the ground, bleeding, but no one saw a gun, the report said. The teen was taken to a hospital.
Cumberland County Superintendent Dr. Franklin Till said that it was a normal, quiet lunch period when the incident happened. He said there was no suspicious activity prior to the shooting.
Cape Fear High School and nearby Mac Williams Middle School are on lockdown and officials say they will evacuate both schools once the campuses are secured.
Parents that gathered outside of the school to wait for their children told WTVD there was speculation about gang-related activity and an incident earlier this month that may have been related.
School officials and police, however, said that gang activity is not related to the shooting.
Reader Comments
I received a text yesterday from my niece: "I cant talk, we are hiding. Someone got shot."
My other niece was in the middle school next to Cape Fear High School and that was on shutdown as well.
These incidences always seem far away but this was right here. It was an awkward feeling as I felt helpless and the fact that the gunman was still at large. My niece later told me that someone came on the intercom screaming and shouting "Code Red!!! Code Red!!!!" after the shooting occurred. It caused quite the panic she said.
What is the solution to these school shootings? I do not want them to go there anymore. I drop them off at school sometimes and look at the bland architecture and drab faces. It is so depressing. Schools should be "Alive" and vibrant, full of character. We need a major overhaul on The Dept. of Education.
Forget the Department of Education. How about the LOCAL empowerment of these youths. I knew a teacher who gave civic lessons to a first grade class (i.e. 5-6 year olds), the object of which was to empower the kids to participate actively in their community. The result was that the students elected, amongst themselves, to conduct a pancake breakfast in the gymnasium of the school for the benefit of a local, reputable charity which often issued grants for art supplies and field trips to local museums to students of the same school. The school's administration completely quashed the hopes of the students and teacher when they sought approval for the event (The students themselves, no doubt with guidance, formed a committee for this purpose which made the presentation ultimately squashed by the administrators.). The result was that the teacher allied with a few cafeteria staff members and janitorial staff, as well as local newspaper reporters, obtained the appropriate permits as though it was a private event and conducted the event anyway - within the gymnasium - and made sure there were lots of happy little faces in the local newspaper. The outcome: the event is now annual and part of the civics curriculum for the first graders of the school... the principal be damned. The teacher, not having tenure, took a risk and the administrators got over their fear of the legalities associated with such an event.

Holidaysposted by Dark0ne Game NewsHi folks,
Thought I'd leave a little note to let everyone know that I will be off to Spain early tomorrow morning for a much needed holiday. Hopefully no rain! I'm due back next Tuesday.
The server has been a little rocky these past few days with several slow downs happening throughout the day. Hopefully the server will iron itself out because I'll likely not have any internet access while I am away.
When I get back I have several improvements planned for the site, including:
- A new EU file server, and better synchronisation between the file servers
- Improved Supporter funtionality and download mirrors
- File tagging (already half done, but further work needed)
- File reporting and moderation (staff announcements soon)
So there's always that to look forward to.
Hope you all enjoy your holidays (if you have any) and I'll be back in a week!

The Little Star That Could
Grade Level: Preschool through 2nd gradeLength: 34 minutes
The Little Star That Could is a multimedia program that follows the adventure of a character named Little Star, who travels the galaxy in search of his own planets. In his travels, he meets many different kinds of stars, learns about double stars and star clusters and makes an amazing discovery about himself.
In the beginning of this show, Little Star – like all stars – is born from a cloud of dust and gas. He soon realizes that he is an average star surrounded by much larger and brighter stars. Armed with little more knowledge than this, Little Star sets out on a quest to explore space. Shortly after his journey begins, he encounters Old Star, who suggests that Little Star "get himself some planets and find a name for himself." Old Star sends Little Star on a trip to meet other stars – a big, red star named Big Daddy that's nearing the end of its life, a large, white super-giant star named Pearl that is about to go supernova, an angry Blue-White Star, and Goldie and Sapphire, a lovely pair of double stars.
In his journey through space, Little Star also discovers a shimmering globe of stars called a globular cluster, and hears the immense voice of the Milky Way Galaxy. It is the Milky Way Galaxy that tells Little Star that he does in fact have nine very small planets. Little Star squints and strains his eyes and finally sees the nine small planets that are orbiting around him.
Little Star asks his nine planets to identify themselves. One by one, he hears from the nine planets – Mercury, Venus, Pluto, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter, Mars, and finally Earth. Little Star then asks his planets to name themselves again, this time in their order from the sun. He learns a clever way to remember their distance – "My Video Eye May Just Show Us Nine Planets." Finally, the planets tell Little Star that his name is Sol and that they are his solar system. A brief question-and-answer period follows the presentation.

Bullet wt. was 165 grs. I remembered everything but the caliber, anyone know what bottle necked round can be made from .45 acp? It might have been .400 Corbon but I can't recall what he said it was. It was incredibly accurate, producing 1 inch or less groups at 25 yards.

How many times have you gone shopping when you had an event or wedding to attend? The damage is often $75-100+ just for that one event. You might wear that dress a few more times, but not too much fearing someone will see you in the same dress at a future event. For men who are shaking their heads, let me introduce you to how women think. Next time they want to spend money for a new outfit, how about suggesting that they rent? It's been a trend for men for quite some time with tuxedo rentals, and now it's hitting women's fashion.
I considered renting bridesmaid dresses for my wedding, but I was running out of time so I decided against it. If you have time, it may be a money-saving option to try. The site, Little Borrowed Dress, rents and sells bridesmaid dresses for $50-75. There are just a few styles to choose from, but dozens of colors. The styles are designed to fit and flatter a variety of shapes and sizes without alternations.
If you are nervous about the sizing, you can visit the showroom in New York City. For all the other bridesmaids who don't live in NYC, a second rental is sent for free with every dress just in case the first one doesn't fit.
I think it's still a little risky if you don't always wear the same sized dress. The dresses are shipped two weeks before the wedding which is very last minute if the dresses don't fit. The company promises to make it right if the dresses don't fit, but as a bride that's one element of surprise I don't need. I was already worried with dresses that I knew were sized for the women.
Rent the Runway is another option if you're in the market for an evening gown. My friend used this site, and loved her dress. She had some problems with sizing, but got the company to overnight her a new dress just in time for the big event. It was a little nerve wracking as it was down to the wire, but she got the dress of her dreams.
Finally, consider shopping a friend's closet. Chances are you can find a new outfit for free for your next event.
What do you think of this trend? Would you rent a dress? Join the conversation by clicking comment below.

Purpose: To evaluate simultaneously the effects of multipurpose contact lens care solution (MPS) on the viability and encystment of Acanthamoeba using flow cytometry.
Methods: Viability and encystment rate were evaluated using Acanthamoeba castellanii (ATCC 50514 and ATCC 50370) and three clinical strains of Acanthamoeba spp. isolated from patients with Acanthamoeba keratitis. Acanthamoeba trophozoites (1.0 × 105 cells/mL) were exposed to four kinds of commercially available MPSs for 24 hours. After dispensing the cell suspension into two portions, one portion was stained with 0.004% Congo Red (CR), a fluorescence dye to stain the inner cell wall of cysts, and the other portion was stained with a mixture of Congo Red and 3% sarkosyl (CRS), a detergent to lyse the trophozoites and pseudocysts. Flow cytometric analysis of the treated portions was then carried out on an EPICS ALTRA flow cytometer. The encystment rate and disinfecting efficacies (percentage of rounded trophozoites, "pseudocyst") were calculated by the rates of CR-stained, CR-nonstained, and CRS-stained populations, respectively. Ultrastructural features of resistant (mature or immature) cysts and pseudocysts were observed by transmission electron microscopy.
Results: Resistant cysts and rounded trophozoites (pseudocysts) were stained with CR, whereas native (unrounded) trophozoites were not. Resistant cysts were also stained with CRS unlike pseudocysts. Three clinical isolates showed higher resistance and higher encystment rates than two ATCC strains when treated with encystment-positive control solution. Disinfecting efficacy of each MPS was not directly related to each encystment rate. Transmission electron microscopy observations showed basic differences in the ultrastructure of pseudocysts produced by MPSs and resistant cysts.
Conclusions: These results suggest that viability and encystment of Acanthamoeba are independent phenomena, and therefore disinfecting efficacy of MPS and encystment rates of Acanthamoeba should be evaluated, respectively. Thus, it is important to evaluate simultaneously the disinfecting efficacies and encystment rates of newly developed premarket MPS using the authors' novel flow cytometric methods.

Campsey A. Schoonover, a retired maintenance employee for the former Standard Oil of Ohio, died Monday of pneumonia at the Wapakoneta Manor Nursing Home, Wapakoneta. He was 103.
Mr. Schoonover, who lived on Colburn Street for many years, repaired gasoline pumps for Standard Ohio for more than 30 years at its service stations throughout northwest Ohio.
"He was a top-notch mechanic,'' Warren Schoonover, his son, said. "He was good at what he did. There were a lot of bad pumps in those days.''
In his early years, he serviced pumps in Bryan, Defiance, and other outlying communities. As he got older, he worked mainly in Toledo. He retired in 1962.
Born in Indiana, Mr. Schoonover moved with his parents to Lima, O., and while a teenager worked in nearby oil fields owned by his father.
In 1917, he married Evelyn Brandon. She died in 1971. He married Wava Lehman in 1974. She died in 1997.
In his spare time, Mr. Schoonover enjoyed tinkering in his garage.
"Dad was a man who had a hobby of making mechanical things,'' his son said. One of his projects for many years was trying to make a practical electric car powered by batteries, he said.
"He worked on that all the time...in the garage, adding on this and adding on that. He was out there about every night. His mechanical aptitude was terrific. He could do about anything.''
Surviving are his son, Warren; sister, Lilia Moore; stepdaughter, Maxine Barhorst; eight grandchildren; eight step-grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren, and six great-great-grandchildren.
Memorial services will be at 11 a.m. tomorrow in Church of St. Andrew United Methodist.There will be no visitation. Arrangements are by the Bennett-Emmert Funeral Home.

Notes from the Field: Changing School Culture| Zachary Roberts, Ed.D '10
In The Principalship, Thomas Sergovanni defines culture as the beliefs and values that underlie and direct the actions of faculty. Ideas such as "all children can learn" and "the whole child should be educated" fall into this category of thought. The importance of cultivating a healthy school culture cannot be understated in school leadership. The ability to effect positive change in the program, operations, and political dimensions of school structures rests on having a strong, coherent culture that supports faculty in modeling the foundational values, and holds them accountable when they move away from those. This is why I identified improving the culture of the elementary division at The Berkeley School, where I am Associate Head of School and Elementary Division Head, as one of my foci for the current school year, and made it the topic of my project for my NAIS Fellowship for Aspiring Heads of School.
Because school culture rests on abstract ideas such as beliefs and values, changing it requires surfacing those values in ways that can then be directly applied to the curriculum, traditions, and other facets of school life. While I would have loved to set aside time for faculty to discuss their core values and beliefs about education in the abstract, to do so would take their most precious resource – time – without providing a pragmatic connection to their work, and my experience is that teachers prefer their time be spent talking about substantive matters, rather than process-related ones. My approach, therefore, has been to identify ways in which the values and beliefs in our culture can be named within the context of specific program-related work.
One way in which I have worked to shift school culture is through a year-long examination of our curriculum. One strand of this has been to begin a curriculum mapping process that gives teachers time to plan, reflect, and revise their own curriculum, as well as significant opportunities to work with faculty at other grade levels to understand the knowledge, skills and understandings that are being taught to students throughout the school. Another strand has been working closely with our Curriculum Coordinator to implement a design thinking process for examining our balanced literacy program. This initiative has involved defining the components of the program, training faculty on implementing a consistent word study program across the grades (since one was missing), providing regular opportunities to implement the Looking At Student Work Together protocol developed by David Allan and Tina Blythe at Harvard's Project Zero Institute, and more.
My second approach has been to increase the role of teacher leadership in defining specific aspects of our program. I formed small working groups to examine our shared traditions, such as holiday celebrations and our curriculum sharing events, and I pushed those small groups to be explicit about the values behind our work. For example, one such group at the beginning of the year met to rethink our assemblies, which were previously bi-monthly sing-alongs of old folk songs. By starting with sharing the reasons we value assemblies, we were able to then move on to identifying the goals we wished the assemblies to meet, and thus come up with a structure that could achieve them. When this group of teachers suggested a structure to the event that involved students sharing their learning, and the reporting out of the work of our newly-formed student council, the faculty as a whole was excited to take on the added burden of preparing their kids to present, precisely because their peers had taken the time to ground the approach in their values.
I have used one other strategy to increase the coherence of our division's culture, and that is to attempt to become a better cheerleader and recognize what is going right in our classrooms. I have found several avenues for this, including offering a sincere and authentic appreciation to a different faculty or staff member each day for some aspect of their work; being sure to notice, comment on, and inquire about the new displays and documentation that appears on the walls of the classrooms each time I enter a room; and to publish an internal division newsletter in which I pick one thing from each class, and write about how I see it connecting to our mission, learning outcomes, or pedagogic approach.
Peter Drucker, an influential scholar of management theory and practice, once wrote that "Culture eats strategy for breakfast." Understanding the history of a school site, the personal narratives of the faculty and staff, and the context, constraints, and conditions that a school faces are essential in effecting culture change. It is time-consuming work, and one that I find presents me with new and exciting challenges every day. I share my approach in the hope that it provides others with a foil to consider their own critical work in this area, and I welcome anyone who would like to have a dialogue on this topic at to contact me at email@example.com.

Federal, state and county officials were in New Castle County, Delaware last week to kick off the next phase of the county's Smart Energy Program
Phase 2 is estimated to save more than $450,000 in utility costs annually and reduce CO2 emissions by 11.8 million pounds, the equivalent to removing more than 1,000 polluting cars off of the road. The project was funded with a $3.8 million grant from the Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant, provided through the Recovery and Reinvestment Act. New Castle County leveraged the grant with a $4 million county bond which enabled the county to expand the scope of the project and incorporate additional conservation measures.

New Castle County worked with Ameresco, an energy services company, to identify saving opportunities and implement energy solutions. Ameresco identified 158 conservation measures, including heat pump and boiler replacements, high-efficiency motors, lighting retrofits and controls, and a white reflective roof. The project impacts over 20 facilities and 461,643 square feet of building space.
Solar arrays also will be installed on the Government Center and Hockessin Library roofs and will provide 128 kilowatts of electricity to the two buildings. This will help Delaware meet its renewable portfolio standard of 25 percent renewable energy production by 2025.
In addition to generating energy savings, this project will help stimulate the economy and create local, green jobs. These projects create a ripple effect through out the economy due to an increased demand for local goods and services. Ameresco also sourced materials from local clean energy manufacturers, including Motech Americas and Solardock.
"The Smart Energy Program is a win for everyone," County Executive Paul Clark said. "Our employees work in healthier and efficient buildings, we're managing taxpayer funds more wisely, we're growing a green economy and leading by example." To increase public awareness, kiosks at the Hockessin Library and Government Center will detail in real time the solar energy that is produced.

Donovan McNabb could be job hunting soon. Washington coaches Mike and Kyle Shanahan have made it clear that McNabb is not the QB they're looking for to run the Redskins offense.
While Shanny squared has been questionable in the way they've handled the situation, it isn't a surprise they want a new quarterback. McNabb's passer rating isn't in the top 25 this season, and he has struggled against the blitz.
With the recent actions, Bodog has released their opening odds for what McNabb will be doing next year (used in this slide show).
We still don't know whether McNabb will be a free agent or moved through a trade, though, which will have a major impact on where he will go.
When Washington and McNabb agreed to a five-year, $70 million extension there was an interesting caveat included. If the Skins cut or trade McNabb after the 2010 season, they will only owe him $3.75 million.
You can read the full contract details here, but basically they built the contract with a one-year warranty in place.
If you were a betting man, where would you place your money on McNabb's next destination?

11 awesome moments last February
February is very special to me and my family. Not only that it is the month of hearts but we have lots of family events on this month. Below are 11 awesome moments last February (in no particular order). Why 11? It's my birthdate.
11. Bike time with my son and husband on two separate days but both was so fun
10. Another bonding time with my husband and son. We spent few minutes at the mall to play arcade games. My husband took picture of us without us knowing it.
9. Time with my son's Godmother, my good friend. The last time we saw each other was more than three years ago (I think!). Few things changed but time with her was still a lot of fun with lots of stories and laughter.
8. Night out with my family in celebration of my birthday.
7. Presence of the family of Anna, one of my best friends, from the eldest son to the youngest daughter. They were able to enjoy their day in the pool. I am also happy that they attended our event.
6. Lunch Date with one of my best friends! I think it was more than a year since we last saw each other. Our time was short but it was loaded with stories and catch ups
5. Buffet breakfast with the family in celebration of my mother's birthday. Though the family is not that complete since my elder brother resides in Batangas, more than 100KM away from us.
4. Valentines's Gift / Birthday gift from the two boys in my life. I thought my husband will no longer give a gift since we have spent a lot with the past occasions but still there was a surprise.
3. Blessed by the presence of our closest relatives during my son's birthday and our 10th wedding anniversary celebration. They are complete, even my great grandmother was there. I am so touched because they were at one of the most special day of our year.
2. 10th birthday of my son and 10th wedding anniversary celebration, my family was there to celebrate and to help even my brother from Batangas took time to join us and sponsor the photo booth.
1. Our new wedding ring. I am thankful that God blessed our relationship all throughout these years. I pray that he will continue to bless the years ahead of us
Last February 8, we were so busy because it is our big day. We entitled it Decade (thanks to my brother Christian) because it is the celebration of my son's 10th birthday as well as our 10th wedding anniversary. It is an all-day swimming event with a short birthday program. It was tiring yet fun day for all of us especially the kids because they really enjoyed the pool. So, to all families and friends who spent their day with us, we can't mention you all but you know who you are, Thank you very much for your presence.
For those who weren't able to come and yet you sent a message, it is appreciated as well because I know you really wanted to attend the event.
Blessed By Their Presence
Last Sunday was a special day for my family. It is the celebration of my son's 10th birthday, his birthday is on the 5th, and it is also the day of our 10th wedding anniversary. I created an event on facebook and invited our family and friends. Only few people confirmed their attendance thru FB, but there are also who just confirmed personally. What I didn't expect was a visit from the Bandol family. They are the closest relative that we have (on my mother side). And we are so blessed by their presence because they are even complete from the great grandmother. It was short but we were all really happy. So, thank you Tito Joseph, Tita Myrna, Lola Chit, Lola (mother of lola chit), Marcus and Margaret. It was really nice seeing all of you. God bless you all!
Biking with Jerome
Sunday should have been a rest day but I am quite busy on a Sunday because we usually attend mass in the afternoon and in the morning I do a lot of chores. But yesterday, I and my son, Jerome had the chance to bike around a nearby subdivision in the morning.
I started doing my chores earlier in the morning and Jerome helped by washing the dishes. I already went to the market to buy our food and made it ready for cooking. Afterwards, we prepared our bikes and started biking to the nearby subdivision. It was not a long bike, it was just around one hour because we still need to prepare to attend mass but it was still worth it. We enjoyed the time together. But I still hope that I will have more time to bike and exercise, as I really need it.
This is my post for the 2nd day of February, 26 more days to go.
Hello February!
It's February! It's our special month!
We have many family celebrations on this month that's why this month is very special to us, not only because it's the month of the hearts.
Last year, I posted a status on facebook, once every day on the whole month of February. This year I have decided (and will try) to make one blog post for each day of the month. I know this will be a challenge for me since I haven't consistently posted for the past year. It will be a big move for me if I will be able to consistently post for the month of February, I think it will be a start that I'll be active in blogging again.
I hope I can do this! Wish me Luck!

Planning a celebration
My son's 10th birthday is fast approaching and even if 10th birthday is not traditionally celebrated in a grand way like a 7th or 12th birthday we decided to celebrate it this year with a party because we didn't have a party on his 7th birthday and we don't plan a party on his 12th. It was his choice. My son likes to have a swimming party on his birthday even if he will not have a party on his 12th birthday.
Choosing a venue, theme, food is like choosing a mandolin, it is not as easy as one think. There are a lot of things to consider.
I don't plan a grand party, I just want it to be memorable for my son and as well as memorable for me and my husband since it would be a double celebration, my son's birthday and our 10th anniversary. Hopefully, it would be fun, exciting and memorable.

Sophie in her pretty dressIt's a cocktail party in which the dogs are dressed to the nines.
WDEL's Mellany Armstrong reports.
"Kind of out-of-the-ordinary, not your typical cocktail party."
Haute dogs and feline fashionistas are walking the runway this weekend in a unique fundraiser - the Delaware SPCA's Canines on the Catwalk. Christina Motoyoshi of the SPCA says pets will appear in tuxes and fancy dresses.
"There going to have cute outfits on and we're going to tell people about their story," she said. "Many of these animals came from neglectful situations or they were homeless."
Dogs and cats will be available for adoption. The event celebrates the SPCA's 140 years in Delaware. The money raised will fund its adoption program, low-cost spay/neuter programs and humane law enforcement. See a picture of Sophie in her outfit and get more information by clicking here.

Specifically, we intend to show that the criticism Derrida directs towards certain themes in Levinas's thought at the same time contains a revaluation of Heidegger's ontology as it was developed during the 1920s, before the so-called Kehre. What this triple hermeneutic comparison puts into play is the relationship between ethics and ontology. In critiquing the relationship between these two concepts in Levinas, Derrida seems to move closer to the way they are described and developed in both Being and Time and in Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics. Finally, we will try to show how this reevaluation of ontology by Derrida determines his approach to the philosophy of Jean-Luc Nancy, whose ethics, differently from Levinas's, is an ethics of ontology.

Forgotten Friday Flick - 'The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover'
With a crop of both holiday fluff (see "The Sitter!") and forgettable art house fare (don't see "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy!") hitting theaters this week we thought we'd add a little five-star avant-garde experience for the couch crowd. Time for...Forgotten Friday Flick! Can there actually be a film that captures colors and visuals that scream beautiful, but is also immersed in some of the most explicit, disgusting, vile and downright jaw-drop shocking moments ever caught on celluloid? If your name is Peter Greenaway, master filmmaking craftsman, it's not only possible, but can be found at the local video store. (Or available via the nearest streaming device!) The title may be long, but the effect of the film will linger a lot longer, as we delve into the 1989 NC-17 Miramax classic..."The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover."
Titles can sometimes be deceiving, but in the case of this one it's dead on. The Cook refers to French chef Richard Borst, a world class food expert who runs the lush and color stark restaurant Le Hollandais. The Thief is uncouth English gangster Albert Spica, whose manners and vile behavior is only eclipsed by his foul way of speaking. His Wife is lovely and vibrant Georgina, a seemingly reserved woman who takes the brunt of Albert's rage, though is secretly hungry for passion and romance. And finally Her Lover is timid bookshop owner and frequent Le Hollandais patron Michael, a well-read man who understands the gentle needs of a woman.
Played out like a Shakespearean play on acid, there is nothing normal about "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover" – at all. Right from the first few minutes where we see a man force-fed dog feces by Michael Gambon's vicious Thief, we know this is ain't your grandma's stuffy English play. And it only gets more poetically brutal from there; raw restaurant sex, forks used as stabbing weapon, being trapped in a rotting food trucks naked, and even a pinch of cannibalism are just a few of the graphic highlights that awaiting the those with a finer palate.
But for all the bold, brutal and bloody bravado, Greenaway never stops his film and all the contents within from always looking their cinematic best. A visual artist in every sense of the word, Greenaway takes great care in making sure each scene within the film has it's own unqiue color, flair and style and when juxtaposed with the graphic elements makes for one arresting piece of cinema. (Not to mention that the music by Michael Nyman gives the film a distinctively operatic vibe - unforgettable!)
Not to mention that his Greenaway's cast is the crème de la crème of top talent. Gambon in the role of a lifetime as Albert 'relishing in other people's misery' Spica, Helen Mirren as the sultry Georgina (man does she look good for her age here!), Richard Bohringer as the classy chef and even Alan Howard as the quiet lover all play their parts with such delight and gusto that it adds another color to the films already lush landscape. (Plus there's even some early appearances by both Tim Roth and Ciaran Hinds to boot!)
Obviously "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover" is not going to be everyone's cup of tea and it's not for the faint of heart (I was shocked – and I've seen everything!), but even the squeamish have to admit that the film is truly something special. Wicked, wondrous and winning, no other film carries such a grandiose gut punch right up until the final frame like this one does. What's the difference is between The Cook helmer and all the other exploitive gratuitous hacks out there - Greenaway makes this look good.

Cast: Michael Gambon, Helen Mirren, Richard Bohringer

The Unbeatable Taste of Pure Convenience
The ultimate in convenience and flavor! Celebrated by Bon Appetit and The Food Channel, this juicy, sweet and cob-smoked ham is the best in the market! No need to cook or carve, we spiral-slice this ham in perfect 1/8" slices, then hand-glaze it with our own Pure Vermont Maple Syrup, maple sugar and spices to give it an exquisite flavor. Serve at room temperature or warmed gently.
Estimate 1/4 lb per person buffet style or 1/2 lb per person for dinner, depending on appetites.

Shipping to Yourself? -
After entering the quantity, simply leave the "Ship To" selection on "Myself" option and then click the Add To Cart button.
My wife thinks maybe I shouldn't tell everyone I see about the ham. It really is the best ham I've ever eaten so how can I not tell everyone I meet? The only thing I'll do different next time is order a bigger ham. It went way to fast.
I ordered this over a week before I wanted it delivered. It came on the date I requested, carefully packed as always. A repeat customer and will shop again!
We have ordered hams for family and ourselves for many years. The last two however that we received were not to the same quality as previous hams. Granted we do order the smaller bone-in but the previous ham to this one was more bone than ham. The most recent received for Easter was an adventure just to receive. This was no fault of Dakin Farm but a blizzard occurred in Colorado which delayed the delivery of the ham by a day and a half. This also meant that the product was not refrigerated for an extended amount of time. We did eat some of it but again, we did not feel the quality was there. We cannot say if the delay in refrigeration is the cause or if the quality was the issue. I have enjoyed Dakin Farm products over the years and will give them one more chance come the next holiday season.
Ordered this small ham for Easter, as there were only three of us. Ordered well in advance and was delivered when I requested, packaged perfectly and cold. This small ham weighted between 3.5 and 3.75 pounds. I served this at room temperature and was delicious. Serving at room temp lets me free up the oven for other sides. Enough to have leftovers for the next day. You cannot gone wrong with this small ham for 3 to 4 people. Have had the larger hams for different occasions and they are just as good.
Delicious treat for Easter!

If you happen to take a trip to the Porter Auditorium this coming weekend and you see a familiar local football coach donning a wig ...
When Alcovy coach Justin Hunter looks back on his team's 42-34 loss to Salem on Tuesday night, he may be tempted to ask the ...
The Alcovy Tigers football team saw more proof of progress when first year head coach Chris Edgar took a peak at the All-Region 3-AAAAAA team ...
Gabriel Stovall
Chris Edgar figured he might as well take a shot.
The Alcovy Tigers dropped their third straight contest Saturday, losing 37-6 to Lakeside-Evans in a penalty-filled Region 3-AAAAAA battle at Homer Sharp Stadium.
The Alcovy High School football team suffered its second straight loss in a 52-0 defeat at the hands of the Evans Knights at home.
Page 1 of 1
Advancing to the second round was on the line and in two pitcher's duels it came down to the seventh inning each time, and each time Tyra Hollingsworth came up clutch.
On a chilly afternoon on Saturday – one that was perfect for football but just okay for softball – Alcovy showed its dominance and ran through Newton 16-1 in just three innings to capture the 2014 2-AAAAAA Region Championship.
Aubree Thacker has been selected as the Alcovy Athlete of the Week for the week of Sept. 22. Thacker's bat was on throughout the entire week. Thacker had five hits and scored two runs against Rockdale and Newton this past week.
In what was likely a preview of the region championship, Alcovy (15-3-1, 8-0 Region 2-AAAAAA) traveled to Newton (9-14, 5-2 Region 2-AAAAAA) in a battle for sole posession of first place in the region. For the second time this season, Alcovy capitalized off Newton's mistakes to take a big lead and never look back, defeating them 7-0.
Nobody wants to be 0-4, but Alcovy head coach Kirk Hoffman knows he has to be patient because this is a marathon not a sprint.
In softball and baseball in the box score 'K' stands for strikeout, in the Alcovy vs. Rockdale game it stood for Kalia Johnson. Standing strong at 13-2, and an undefeated 7-0 in region play, the Alcovy softball team showed no mercy against Rockdale (4-11, 1-5 Region 2-AAAAAA) run-ruling them 9-0 after five innings as Johnson threw seven K's.
Off to an 0-2 start, Alcovy (Region 2-AAAAAA) and its coaches are keeping it simple with the team, as they look to get better just two weeks before region play begins.
Alcovy pitcher Kalia Johnson is the Covington News' Alcovy athlete of the week for the week of Sept. 1. Johnson was a huge factor in the Tigers' 17-0 blowout win over Tucker. Johnson could've picked up another win last week if the Tigers had played just one more inning against Eastside. The game got cancelled due to bad weather with the Tigers leading by a few runs.
In high school softball when you're dealing with young players who are still learning, there will be some mistakes. Most games come down to the team that makes the fewest mistakes and on Tuesday that was Alcovy, as they eased to a 9-1 win over a young Newton team.
It was all déjà vu for the Alcovy Tigers (0-2) on Friday night as they took on the Baldwin Braves from Milledgeville, Georgia. In back-to-back weeks, they gave up 30 points on defense, but this time they weren't able to get on the scoreboard, as the Braves torched Alcovy 30-0.
For the second-straight week at home, Alcovy allowed 30 points, but this time the team wasn't able to find the endzone.
They waited ... and waited ... and waited. But the lightning never stopped, and when the rain began to pour Wednesday evening, Alcovy and Eastside's matchup was called off.
With its loss to Eastside, Alcovy didn't get the start to its season that it wanted, and playing against Baldwin will be even tougher.
The beginning of the NCAA football season saw some of Newton County's collegiate athletes have exceptional showings on Saturday. If there are any athletes that you feel deserve to be mentioned in our weekly coverage of some of the nation's best from Newton County, email our sports editor Shakeen Holloway at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Covington News is looking for the biggest fans at high school football games. Throughout the season, we will be taking pictures of fans and accepting pictures sent to us. Send us your fan photos throughout the season and you could win a laptop, external hard drive and/or a wireless keyboard and mouse.
