Happy Family at Thomas MagnetPosted Monday, November 19, 2012, at 9:56 AM
I have been teaching at Thomas Magnet School for over three months now and can sincerely report my profound feeling that the school community here is a big, happy family.
The children here grow up quite happy as compared to children in China.
Here, in addition to normal school work, there are m
any interesting extracurricular activities and colorful festivals. Some interesting (to me) examples of exotic (to me) festivals and related include "Celebrating the 50th" and the wearing of costumes during Halloween (happy elves everywhere!)
During Veterans' Day, I was moved to see the children paying tribute to the military. The festivities in the run up to Thanksgiving have been particularly charming -- seeing teachers, students and even parents together at the school eating together, sharing art projects and enjoying the harvest time atmosphere as it were.
Overall, at Thomas Magnet School, I am seeing children experiencing the joy of learning and having an enhanced life experience as a result.
I once asked a kindergarten class: "Do you like school?" The children happily answered: "Of course we like it, because the school is very interesting."
This contrasts sharply with the lifestyle of Chinese students who seem to have much more pressure. What is compelling about the American system is that students seem to be able to form happier childhood memories -- these are precious and rare in the grand scheme of things.

National Center for Education Statistics
You love helping others realize their full potential and are ready to reach your own. With a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from Western Michigan University, career advancement is in your hands.
Many advanced psychology degree programs are earned en route to Ph.D. But a Ph.D. isn't for everyone. Once you obtain your master's degree at WMU, and you can apply for a State of Michigan license as a temporary limited licensed psychologist. Then you can move on to your Ph.D. if you want to.
When it comes to completing practicum hours as a graduate student, the Department of Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology provides ample opportunities with two on-site clinics, one in Kalamazoo and one in Grand Rapids. WMU's unique approach to certification puts the options in your hands.
Prospective students with a strong undergraduate academic career (3.0 or higher cumulative GPA) in psychology or a related field are encouraged to apply.
The program emphasizes and prepares students to offer services in a variety of mental health settings and is designed for students seeking limited licensure as a psychologist in the State of Michigan. A Master of Arts degree is considered the baseline qualification for many entry level jobs in the field.
If your employer has a tuition reimbursement program, find out about WMU's deferment program for employer paid tuition.
Washington Monthly placed WMU on a list of national universities that offer "the best bang for the buck." WMU came in at No. 50 based on the economic value students receive per dollar.

I'll add add a couple more categories. Just need a photo image for each for the index page.Can you give me a link to, or post a photo that would best represent "Detroit" style? I am unfamiliar with that style.
I was thinking that it might be helpful to add the capability of choosing more than one type of oven for baking a pizza dough recipe. For instance, you may want to bake New York dough in either a standard home oven or in a modified grill. As far as I can tell at present you have to choose only one type of oven, whereas for some recipes, they could be made in several different types of ovens.
I know its minor, but the words "dough generator" in the top left are a link and I think it should take you back to the home page.
I added recipes for Pete-zza's Papa John's Clone and Glutenboy's Long Fermented New York Style. Fidel, what would you think of a "see all" button that would show all of the recipes in a single list?
I'm pretty sure there's an error with Pizza Shark's formulation. I don't think it ever had 70% hydration
Sure. I can add that. How should it be sorted? By style? Alphabetically?
My vote would be alphabetically since they are already sorted by style.
I'll do this.The addition should be available in the next couple of hours.
Alphabetically I guess. Just so we can see them all under one heading.

Kids Play While You Spa
My back is killing me. Last night (after tripping over it several times) I grabbed my daughter's back pack to hang it on the hook where it belongs. Big mistake. . . big back pack! How does she lug that thing around all day?
Now I am sitting in my office chair and can't get a break from the nagging ache in my lower back. I need a massage now, but can't get away from work. Naturally once I am out of work, I slip into "daddy" mode and will have my children to take care of. I can't just have them running around while I relax as heavenly hands work out the kink in my back. . .
Wait a minute! How did I forget about this sweet deal? The Sage Spring Club and Spa in Sunriver offers free child care with a 50 minute treatment. An hour massage will be perfect and I'll still have time to enjoy the sauna and relaxation room while my kids get their own relief in Fort Funnigan! Licensed Massage Therapist for me and Licensed Child Care Specialist for them. Perfect!
Once my back is re-aligned, I'll hit the hardware store and buy a dolly for the next time I need to move that back pack!!!!

Introducing SKOP – The National Platform of Maltese NGDOs
The Platform was set up in October 2000 on the initiative of Kopin (Koperazzjoni Internazzjonali – Malta), after a need was felt to bring together all NGOs operating in the development sector, to work together on a common front.
Vision Statement
The vision of SKOP is to contribute, through the cooperative efforts of its Members, to a just world where basic needs are met, where people are empowered, where there is equity in the management and distribution of resources and where human rights are respected.
SKOP brings together Maltese Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) involved in development and relief overseas and/or in the provision of development education – hereby called Non Governmental Development Organisations (NGDOs). The Maltese NGDO Platform aims to provide a forum for consultation and co-operation between its members as well as wherever possible to help them speak with a single voice on development issues.
In furtherance of its vision, SKOP aims to:
- promote the just interests of the peoples of the South in key areas of Maltese and European policy.
- promote the achievement of the United Nations' target of 0.7% of GNP for Maltese official development aid.
- promote, through development and global education, an understanding of the causes and a commitment to correcting, the effects of social and economic inequalities.
- provide a forum for member organizations to share information, ideas and experiences.
Membership is open to non-profit making NGDOs independently established and located in Malta which consider international development cooperation (including development education) as an important aspect of their aims and work.
SKOP is funded through a minimum donation of €30 yearly from member organisations and €15 yearly from affiliate member organisations. The Platform can also seek other funds, as long as it does not accept aid from any source which might jeopardise the aims of the organisation.
SKOP is governed by its members, through the Annual General Meeting, which elects a Board of up to six members to manage the network on behalf of the members. The Board can have a maximum of six members but not less than three. The Board also retains the right to co-opt members if it needs to, but the co-opted members do not have a right to vote not even in exceptional circumstances. The Board is assisted by a Secretariat, which is responsible for the day-to-day business of the organisation.
The election for the board will be held by secret ballot and each member organisation shall be entitled to one vote at meetings of the AGM. Since some of the member organisations have very few members there can be cross-nominations.
The nomination papers of candidates bearing signatures of the proposer and seconder, who are bonafidemembers of one of the Platform member organizations, shall be submitted to the secretariat one week before the election date.
At the election for the Board, the representative of each member organisations shall vote for up to six candidates and those candidates receiving the highest number of votes shall be declared elected. Any vacancy on the board may be filled until the next annual general meeting by a member appointed by the elected members.
Role of the Board
The Board is responsible and accountable for governing and managing the organisation. Members of the Board are appointed in a voluntary capacity and serve as Directors of the Organisation. The Board elects a Chairperson, a Vice-Chairperson, and a Treasurer. The Board delegates responsibility to the Secretariat for the day-to-day management of the organisation. The main responsibilities of the Board are:
- Provide the framework for the organisation's actions and operations
- Ensure effective organisational planning and the acquisition of sufficient resources for the proper functioning of the NGDO Platform
- Represent the Platform to all important stakeholders
- Govern the organisation
- Ensure the organisation's sustainability
- Safeguard the Platform's core values and principles
- Determine and monitor the organisation's activities
- Account to the public for the work of the Platform
- Evaluate the performance of the Secretariat
- Provide continuity for the organisation
- Develop the long-term vision to lead the organisation in strategic directions
- Guide and support the Secretariat in its role
The term of office of a Board Member is Two Years. The Board may, from time to time, decide to invite other organisations and individuals to attend its meetings in an observer capacity. Chairpersons of the Platform's Working Groups can be invited to attend meetings of the Board in an observer capacity.
The NGDO Platform meets a minimum of twice yearly as well as whenever necessary and/or desirable.
Annual Report
The NGDO Platform produces an annual report, published not later that the second week of February, which is distributed to all member organizations as well as to other interested groups and organisations. The annual report includes a financial report, information on the activities of the Platform, as well as details of forthcoming priorities, meetings and events.
A working definition of Non-Governmental Development Organisations (NGDOs)*
NGDOs are voluntary, autonomous, non-profit and non-governmental organisations working within the framework of international development cooperation. They are concerned with poverty reduction and eradication, social justice, human rights and the problems of marginalisation within society, particularly with regard to women.
Some characteristics of NGDOs:
• They are not set up to generate profit. Therefore, any surplus would not be distributed to the staff or members of the particular organisation;
• Their existence is not sanctioned or hindered by law, but results from the self-chosen voluntary initiative of a number of individuals pursuing a shared interest or concern;
• Formed by private initiative, they are independent – they are not part of government or controlled by a public body;
• They are governed by the terms of whichever legislation they choose to be registered under;
• They are legitimised by the existence of the world's poor and powerless, by the circumstances these live in, and the injustices they experience;
• By and large, NGDOs act as intermediaries, providing support to those who legitimise them. They are not mutual benefit organisations or associations;
• They retain voluntary values and principles as the primary driving force in their working practice.
The Platform members believe in the following values:
• Social justice, equity and respect for human rights;
• The participation of the people with whom they are working;
• The centrality of civil society in development cooperation;
• Working with southern organisations – aiming for common development goals;
• Equality of opportunity.
The Platform members believe in the following approach to development cooperation:
• Taking a professional approach in their work;
• Providing support to southern partners to help increase their capacities;
• Supporting the empowerment of disadvantaged groups in particular.
• Working to reduce gender inequalities;
• Using responsible fund-raising methods;
• Ensuring that their actions produce sustainable results;
• Engaging in development education, awareness raising, and advocacy in the North;
• Using their bridging capacity to link different sectors of society.
The organisations must be:
• Malta-based;
• Non-governmental;
• Non-profit distributing;
• Non-partisan: the organisation must be motivated by broadly humanitarian and developmental objectives, which should not be secondary to political or religious agendas having partisan tendencies. Such an organisation would be a legal entity registered in Malta. Such organisations must not seek to serve the interests of a commercial or profit-making organisation.

Mountains & Valley
MOUNTAIN – We are grateful for the recent allotment of a grant to make it safer for Saranac Lake kids to walk or bike to school. We're also grateful to the local people who did the planning and paperwork to make it happen. Now let's make that money count by not busing all the local kids who can easily and safely walk or bike.
Safe Routes to School is an important idea. It's silly that we complain about kids being obese and yet don't have them walk a few blocks to school. Busing is expensive, and besides, with bus routes being what they are, for many kids within a village it's much faster to walk or bike than to ride a bus. If there are a few danger spots, let's have youth traffic guards and on-duty police officers help kids cross there.
It's a point of pride that Saranac Lake is a walkable village. (It's bike-able, too, but could be more so.) Taking more advantage of that would make this village even more of an All-America City.
MOUNTAIN – Congratulations to John Ellis of Tupper Lake, who was elected as a state Supreme Court judge for the next 14 years. It's good to have an Adirondacker on the bench (even if it took two months of vote counting and legal maneuvering – yeesh). We wish him very well and trust he will be truly just.
VALLEY – Tupper Lake school Superintendent Seth McGowan got a 17 percent raise when he took on the noble experiment of adding the middle-high school principal job to his own – even though he had several teachers to share those administrative duties with him. That made sense, but now the experiment is over; it was just too much work, especially with the state's new teacher evaluation plan requirements. An interim principal is in place, and a new one is being sought. With that added expense and since Mr. McGowan is just a superintendent again now, he should lose at least some of that pay increase; that should have been part of the deal from the beginning.
Instead, however, the school board is letting him keep the raise and giving him annual 2 percent raises on top of it for each of the next three years. We don't think that's the way most hard-working taxpayers want their elected school board members to steward their money, especially when the state is giving the Tupper Lake district, in particular, much less money now and thus putting more of the burden on local property taxpayers.
Granted, it's a small amount of money in the grand scheme of school spending, but it's meaningful. It's an example of board members, who were elected to lead, not exerting checks and balances on staff.
MOUNTAIN – Former U.S. Sen. Chuck Hagel seems like the right kind of person to run a U.S. Defense Department that's pulling back from two wars and trying to make itself more efficient amid scary deficits and a presidential administration that is – thankfully – being careful not to embroil the U.S. in too many of the world's conflicts. Both he and Sen. John Kerry, whom President Obama has nominated for secretary of state, state plainly that their experiences fighting in Vietnam made them wary of war; they know its hellishness well. It seems that they, more than others who have held the job, would try to use the U.S.'s vast military power soberly – that is, as a last resort.
Both Hagel and Kerry are well qualified for these appointments and also suited for them at this time in our history. We hope the Senate confirms them.

Full Circle Pizza & Grill - New Tampa, FL
June 14, 2012, 03:53:18 PM »
We just had a new pizza joint open up down the street from me. Me, being originally from Chicago, am always looking for that thin crust, crispy, style pizza that I grew up with. I was surprised to see the write up in the local paper saying they were serving authentic south Chicago style pizza, and NOT the deep dish, everyone thinks of when you say, "Chicago pizza".
So Saturday, we went over and picked one up. Had a chance to speak to the owner for a few minutes, and he said he was from the Homewood area. Got a large cheese, sausage, and onion.
The verdict: Crust was good, flaky, slightly crisp, layered, almost looked laminated, and the bottom of the crust was paper thin, but crispy enough to hold up to the cheese, sauce, and sausage. The cheese, not really anything special. Sausage was pretty good, but could have used more fennel for a Chicago style pizza. The sauce.....for me....sickeningly sweet, and lot's of it...Way too sweet for me. Since they just opened, and if he's making the sauce from scratch, I'm hoping that he's going to tone it down. I'm wondering if he's trying to clone an Aurelio's pizza. I've never had an Aurelio's pizza, so I can't say, but I don't remember any pizza I had in Chicago that was this sweet.
Sorry, no pictures, I definitely need to get a camera, but if anyone in the Tampa area wants to try it, they are in New Tampa, Pebble Creek Collection shopping center, off Bruce B. Downs Blvd.
I plan on going back to talk to him and ask about the sauce, and give it another try. He also has Italian beef sandwiches, and I asked if he was going to get Vienna Red Hots, and make Chicago style hot dogs. He said he's thinking about it. So, while we may not agree on the pizza, maybe I can get a taste of home on the other things.

Just tried Full Circle tonight. When I found out they cut their pizza in a square, I decided to go ahead and get a second one for later. I was tempted to try their Italian Beef sandwich but I have been disappointed too many times, so I thought I would try their pizza first. Make no mistake..... This pizza is the real deal! No, it's not Home Run Inn, Aurelio's, or Vito and Nicks, but it's in Tampa, and it's good, very good. I ordered my pizzas to go, and when I tried a slice at the check-out, I knew I needed to try the Chicago Beef. Glad I did... Delicious. The pizza sauce is a bit sweeter than I prefer as rkrider99 mentioned, but certainly not a deal breaker, it actually compliments the cheese rather well. Good Luck Full Circle. I will be back.

Tried Full Circle again last night. Not for the pizza, but had to try the Italian Beef. Excellent!! Great bread, thinly sliced, tender beef, and the gravy, was the real stuff. I'll definitely head back to try the pizza again, but I may have to try the Chicago Hot Dogs that they just added to the menu on the next trip.

Thanks for the tip on Full Circle Pizza as I, too, am always on the hunt for good Chicago thin crust pizzas in the New Tampa Bay area. I lived in the Homewood, IL area for many years so I'll have to schedule a visit to the far northeast edge of the Tampa Bay area to try out this new pizza. I searched and found this article, too, on their restaurant:
Full Circle Pizza & Grill New Tampas Taste Of Chicago!
Just in case you're not aware, there are at least two great thin crust pizzas in Pinellas County that I highly recommend to all Chicago thin crust lovers.
Paul's Chicago Pizza
on the east side of Clearwater is outstanding (
). One bite of their great pizza will lead to you thinking "wow, that really tastes like old-fashioned thin crust Chicago pizza!" Get it "well done" for a little crispier crust (see picture below). Paul is from the Aurora, IL area.
Charlie and Millie's
on Seminole in Largo has often won "best pizza" awards. They are outstanding, too, but the only minor problem I have with them is that they put "pre-cooked" sausage on their pizzas (which often leads to "dark or blackened" sausage on a cooked pizza). But definitely worth trying out as it is one of Tampa Bay's BEST Chicago style thin crust pizzas. (second picture below)
Two others that I recommend trying, but IMO not as good to me as those mentioned above. Loven Pizza in Clearwater (
) advertises "Chicago Style" thin crust. It is fairly good, but not like most Chicago Style thin crusts I've experience (which is most). Their sauce is extremely spicy (and somewhat hot), which many don't like at all, so be prepared if you try it.
Another is Untouchables Pizza on Clearwater-Largo Rd in Clearwater. They had won the No. 1 pizza award in the Tampa Bay area a few years ago. They are very good, too, but I have two complaints of sorts about their pizza style: one is that their crust is very, very soft and even after requesting a well done (and blackened) crust, it is still soft with not a bit of crispness to the crust. The second is that their sauce is very sweet. Many love it because of that, but I'm not that excited about super sweet sauce.
I'll give honorable mention to Micheles Great Chicago Pizza in Largo (
). But if you ordered 4x sausage there, you would not get the single average amount of sausage that you'd get from a Chicago pizzeria. And many know Cappy's for their New York style thin (but thick) crust pizza and their Chicago Style deep dish pizza. While they've expanded their restaurants around the Tampa Bay area, they've definitely lowered the quality of their pizzas immensely. I don't know if I'll ever order a pizza from them again.

During the last decade, the advancement of microrobotics has provided a powerful tool for micromanipulation in various fields including living cell manipulation, MEMS/MOEMS assembly, and micro-/nanoscale material characterization. Several dexterous micromanipulation systems have been developed and demonstrated. Nowadays, the research on micromanipulation has shifted the scope from the conceptual system development to the industrial applications. Consequently, the future development of this field lies on the industrial applicability of systems that aims to convert the micromanipulation technique to the mass manufacturing process. In order to achieve this goal, the automatic microrobotic system, as the core in the process chain, plays a significant role. This thesis focuses on the calibration procedure of the positioning control, which is one of the fundamental issues during the automatic microrobotic system development. A novel vision based procedure for three dimensional (3D) calibrations of micromanipulators is proposed. Two major issues in the proposed calibration approach - vision system calibration and manipulator kinematic calibration - are investigated in details in this thesis. For the stereo vision measurement system, the calibration principle and algorithm are presented. Additionally, the manipulator kinematic calibration is carried out in four steps: kinematic modeling, data acquisition, parameter estimation, and compensation implementation. The procedures are presented with two typical models: the matrix model and the polynomial model. Finally, verification and evaluation experiments are conducted on the microrobotic fiber characterization platform in the Micro- and Nano Systems Research Group (MST) at Tampere University of Technology. The results demonstrate that the proposed calibration models are able to reduce the prediction error below 2.59 micrometers. With those models, the pose error, compensated by the feed-forward compensator, can be reduced to be smaller than 5 µm. The proposed approach also demonstrates the feasibility in calibrating the decoupled motions, by reducing the undesired movement from 28 µm to 8 µm (For 4800 µm desired movement).

A mention of mysterious ATI Radeon HD 5900 family of graphics cards in beta drivers causes more questions than answers regarding the roadmap of ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices.
ATI seems to be working on an enhanced version of its ATI Radeon HD 5000-series graphics cards aimed at high-end market. While it is hardly surprising that ATI would prefer to sustain performance leadership after its arch-rival Nvidia Corp. releases its Fermi-G300 high-end offering, it is not clear whether the company plans to overclock its code-named Cypress chip, develop a completely new ASIC [application specific integrated circuit] with increased clock-speed, introduce a graphics processing unit (GPU) with increased amount of stream processors, or completely change its long-established naming scheme and just put two existing chips onto the same board.
The Mysterious ASIC "689x"
The latest OpenCL beta drivers from ATI-AMD apparently support ATI Radeon HD 5900-series graphics solutions, according to visitor of Beyond3D forums, who claims that he has obtained the drivers. The new Radeon 5900-series has device identifications (dev ids) "689C" and "689D", whereas the existing Radeon 5800-series of chips (also known as Cypress) carry "6888" and "6889" dev ids.
Traditionally, identifications for different graphics cards based on the same chip are similar: ATI Radeon HD 4800 graphics cards based on the RV770 chip have 9440, 9441 (Radeon HD 4870 X2), 9442, 944C, 9443 (Radeon HD 4850 X2) device ids, whereas ATI Radeon HD 4800 boards powered by the RV790 chip carry 9460 and 9462 identifications. As it can be seen, the combination of the first three symbols in dev id describes the actual ASIC, whereas the fourth symbol describes the actual implementation (including speed-bin and/or the number of ASICs onboard).
Considering that ATI Radeon HD 5900 has "689x" identification, whereas the Radeon HD 5800 carries "688x" id, the actual ASICs should be different, unless AMD changes the identification scheme that has been used for many years.
Several weeks ago rumours emerged that ATI has Radeon HD 5890 graphics card in the works. In fact, even one of AMD's official documents mentioned the HD 5890 model, but a representative for the company said that was a typographical error. In any case, potential HD 5890 model would be a speed-bin of the Cypress/RV870/HD 5870 solution.
ATI has never used different series names for products that are generally similar, e.g., have equal amount of execution units and feature set, but run at different clock-speeds (at least, in case of high-performance solutions), which is why the Radeon HD 4890 (RV790) did not carry HD 4970 model number and the Radeon X850 (R480) was not called X900, even though their device ids were completely dissimilar due to different ASICs.
Based on device ids, the Radeon HD 5900 product series will feature a brand new ASIC, hence, unless AMD decided to make drastic changes to dev id scheme, the HD 5900 family does not feature two Cypress/RV870/HD 5870 GPUs.
The Fifth ASIC of the Evergreen?
According to ATI, Evergreen family of chips features four ASICs: Cypress (5870, 5850), Juniper (5770 and 5750), Redwood and Cedar. In fact, four chips is already a lot since traditionally both ATI and Nvidia Corp. release three chips in the initial lineup, even though later on they could add more processors to the family (e.g., RV740 was released more than half a year after RV870, RV830 and RV810 were introduced, whereas the R500 family eventually consisted of five ASICs). But is it possible that the Evergreen series of DirectX 11-compatible GPUs will consist of five ASICs?
It is hardly logical for ATI to develop five chips, considering its "sweet spot" strategy that eliminates ultra high-end "megachip" with a dual-chip solution. Still, since the Evergreen is likely to remain on the market for about a year, it is completely possible that eventually AMD launches its fifth ASIC that will be sold as Radeon HD 5900-series. Actually, apart from dual-chip Hemlock solution (HD 5870 X2), ATI may have another ace up in its sleeves: a chip with something like 24 SIMDs (1920 stream processors) or with 20 SIMDs (1600 stream processors), but with 1GHz+ target clock-speed.

Here Is Where Value Remains in Today's Stock Market
In an interview with Ferris on Friday, Feb. 15, I asked him his secret for uncovering the "world-dominating dividend-grower" companies that are still fairly priced. "Ask a better set of questions," was his modest answer. He and his research team have been doing just that, and the results are impressive.
That's why many well-known money managers follow his recommendations. He watches sentiment surveys and balance sheets, not what the masses are chasing. Ferris also wants to catch the massive shifts as they're happening and identify the most powerful corporate beneficiaries.
There are many opportunities to benefit from what Ferris calls "The Pillars of Hyper-Innovation" that are happening now in the world of technology. As an example, Ferris pointed to the phenomenon of "Moore's Law," which had correctly predicted that the number of transistors on a computer chip would double every two years.
"During that time, the computer industry jammed more transistors onto computer chips every two years, just like Moore said they would, using thinner materials packed closer together. The first chips had a few thousand transistors on them. By 2007, they contained more than 600 million," he explained.
Then came 2007 and researchers hit the physical limits of silicon dioxide, a key material in chip-building. Manufacturers literally had no way to shrink the material a single nanometer more. That's when the "world dominator" of semi-conductor manufacturing stepped to the plate and showed the world what hyper-innovation was all about.
Intel(INTC) realized that a global tipping point had arrived, and in 2008, introduced its Core i7 processor chip with 731 million transistors. These new chips had 2.5 times more transistors than the 291 million transistors in its earlier Core 2 Duo chips, which were introduced in 2006.
"It took the leadership of Intel to see the challenge and to meet it head on," Ferris explains. "Intel had the deep financial resources and has been dictating the pace of innovation for decades. Today it employs the biggest concentration of chip-engineering talent in the world."
In the current edition of Extreme Value , Ferris introduces the fruits of his latest research in this area of technological brillance.
Here's a brain teaser: "We've found a well-managed, well-financed company that has all the big semiconductor-makers (like Intel) as customers. This company is a "picks and shovels" way to play this long-term technological trend." Out of respect to his subscribers, he will not name the company, but shares the following description:
"The semiconductor-makers need this company's technology whenever they build new plants or change technologies ... which they do every year. This month's recommendation will continue to see plenty of business from all the major players in the industry. Chip-makers can't build cutting-edge technologies without it."

Edmonton has excellent terrain for those wanting to work on beginner, intermediate, and advanced cross-country and all-mountain skills. It's also a fun location for those interested in an introduction to freeride techniques in the mornings followed by some great pedaling opportunities in the afternoons.
Plus, it's home to United Cycle, which is a fantastic camp host, and Janet Liu, a camp manager so dedicated that she personally rides every trail before camp to make sure that she's selected the best ones possible for the participants.
The morning skill development sessions will be at Argyll Park, and the afternoon instructional rides will cross all the terrain Edmonton has to offer -- trails in Terwillegar Park and Mill Creek Ravine, as well as Bobsled in McKinnon Ravine, and the Canada Cup Course in the River Valley.
The shop, skill site, and trails are all relatively close together, so that makes for quite a convenient camp too. Looking forward to seeing you in June!

"Youth what? Why would you sponsor a TechCamp in the Pacific region, where Internet connectivity is not widespread?"
That's the question many of my colleagues asked me when I told them the State Department, in collaboration with PasifikaNEXUS and BrightPath, was going to launch "Youth TechCamp Fiji." And, my answer to them was, that's exactly the reason it should be done. The Department of State, along with our partners, recognized the value in enabling future leaders of the Pacific Islands to contribute to policy development, spur local content creation, and leverage connection technologies to make a positive impact in their communities and around the world.
From November 21-28, approximately 80 youth participants from Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands met in Suva, Fiji, for the first Youth TechCamp in the Pacific.
The first session of the TechCamp was held at the University of the South Pacific and focused on Internet governance. Access to information and communications technology (ICT) has been identified as an enabler for economic growth. Put simply, more broadband access has been shown to increase economic output, create jobs, and raise the standard of living. In the Pacific region, however, access to the Internet can be costly and slow. Without access to the Internet, Pacific youths can miss out on economic and educational opportunities, as well as the chance to connect with family and friends around the world. Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro, the Fiji based Director of PasifikaNexus who is also an alumna of the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative (ABA ROLI), led the sessions on Internet governance which included discussions on intellectual property rights and freedom of expression. As young people tend to be frequent users of the Internet, it's important that they have a voice in the policy conversations on Internet governance. As one of the participants aptly stated, "Youth are the ones that know their context and therefore should be the ones that determine what they need in terms of Internet access."
The second session was led by Bevil Wooding, BrightPath's Executive Director and technology and development expert, who focused on the creation of mobile apps. Before Youth TechCamp Fiji, none of the participants held any experience in developing apps. Five days later, all of the participants had actively taken part in creating a mobile app. Bevil inspired participants to develop ideas for apps that they wanted to create. The participants were then split into three major groups: the content team, the design team, and the coders. At the end of the workshop, the participants proudly launched five apps ready to be downloaded on Android phones: Ika Fiji -- helps identify local fish, Food 4 Thot -- works as a handy local restaurant guide, What's on Sale -- provides information on the latest supermarket specials, Cure Fiji -- a guide to herbal and local medicine, and Road Signs -- improves road safety by educating young drivers on road signs and road rules.
Alzima Bano, a participant of the TechCamp, described her experience as truly life changing. She said, "This has been one of those rare, once in a lifetime opportunities that I can confidently say has changed my life. This workshop truly empowered me, and the facilitators from day one had faith in us to complete the app in a week."
The Youth TechCamp Fiji participants will use this new knowledge to create, innovate, and harness the power of the Internet for the future.

About the Author: Russell Brooks serves as Spokesperson for the Bureau of African Affairs.
The United States condemns in the strongest terms the December 3rd suicide bombing in Mogadishu. At a university gathering, celebrating scholarship and hope for the future of Somalia, a suicide bomber murdered students, teachers, journalists, and others. Three ministers of the Transitional Federal Government, who worked tirelessly to restore stability in Somalia, were among those killed.
Such horrific violence flies in the face of all that is good for Somalia. Now, those who committed this attack choose death and destruction and have no interest in rebuilding the country. The United States looks to Somalis everywhere to end the violent conflict that has engulfed their homeland for nearly two decades. The United States, with the international community, is committed to restoring the peace and prosperity that Somalia once knew, and we will partner with the Somali people to help them achieve that goal.
Jack in Virginia writes:
I'm not sure when Somalia has known "peace and prosperity," but the the State Department is right to condemn this act.
I have one question for Mr. Brooks: Is the State Department currently conducting any outreach to the Somali-American community here in the U.S.? If not, I think it might be a prudent measure. In the same way your Middle East Bureau conducts outreach and has forged ties with the Arab-American communities (in Dearborn, MI, for example), so, too, should the Africa Bureau build ties with Somali-Americans. Recent reporting in the Washington Post and New York Times outline disenfranchised communities with young men who understand little of US efforts to assist the fledgling government in Mogadishu. These young men are succeptible to becoming involved in the same type of terrorist acts we saw committed today in Somalia.
Donald in Virginia writes:
I'm not in Somalia but to me it sounded like someone sent them a big message. The most recent events that surround Somalia is the piracy issues. Of course United States Condems any attacks on innocent people. This is also a time the country of Somalia needs to take action against the Piracy issues that continue to plague shipping of goods that do not belong to them. Stealing other peoples valuables is just plain wrong. Somalia's Government like Pakistan need to train law enforcement and start patrolling its own seas, arrest the people who continue causing problems for other Nations. It would behove Somalia to wake up and smell the coffee before they end up in wars with countries that have had cargo and people taken hostage. How many countries now have the Somalia pirates taken people hostage, demanded money and this went on for months. It's only a matter of time before Nations start showing a presence by sending messages to the country, this one sounded like it was pretty clear. Either take action to resolve your own problems or Nations will solve this problem for them. It is written in the Bible, "Thou shall not steal" there is a price for stealing. The only way Somalia will regain it's reputation in the world is when they can prove themselves to be fit to society and create jobs for it's people without taking something that belongs to someone else. I also condem the attack but also feel strongly that Somalia better be prepared to take action against this serious piracy issue before they find themselves in a more serious dire situation. You can't scream for help to the world if your stealing their people and money on the open seas. I heard on the news it was another Saudi tanker taken by the pirates. I'm not sure if the Somalia people are aware but the Saudis are already at war with its neighbor Yeaman. The stakes will only get higher and the loss of people will rise until Somalia uses law enforcement on the pirates. A lawless society brings chaos and instablity to the region. The world is watching Somalia and step on the wrong toes and suddenly you have more worries to deal with in your backyard.

It has happened to my me with the black tea, I could verify that it was due to an excessive temperature of the water, or boiling. In these moments the water is not more than 90 º for any tea.
As for the green tes what they produce to me is an nuisance easing and drowsiness, apart from the fact that they do not favor to me the digestion.
When I have had some troublesome side effect because of the tea, soil solve it eating a few cookies or wholemeal bread or pasta. I notice that to take carbohydrates me cuts the effects.

First up, the Jake Peavy trade got me thinking about Shoeless Joe Jackson, not because Peavy has thrown a World Series (he did throw in an National League Division Series), but because even if Peavy does come off of the disabled list and propel the Pale Hose into the postseason and beyond (as Clay Davenport pointed out yesterday, the latter is more likely than the former), the deal will still have to get in line to rank among the best in Chicago Americans history. Three that may never be topped:

Northrop Grumman engineers powered up the aircraft's rotor blades for the first time Friday, as the company looked to collect enough data to ensure the Scout's systems are functioning properly ahead of its upcoming first flight.
"Completion of these tests signifies our steady progress toward the first flight of the MQ-8C Fire Scout," said George Vardoulakis, vice president of medium range tactical systems at Northrop Grumman.

The Navy currently has the company under contract to produce an MQ-8C for deployment beginning next year. According to a spokesperson for Northrop Grumman, the first flight of the MQ-8C is scheduled for October.

Caroleo Scores Six in Fairfield Victory
from press release
The Fairfield University women's lacrosse team opened the home portion of its schedule with a 17-11 win over Quinnipiac University on Alumni Field Friday afternoon. The Stags improve to 2-0 on the year, while the Bobcats fall to 0-1.
Fairfield's offense wasted little time in getting on track as
the Stags won the opening draw and Melanie Raso put home her first
shot of the day into the back of the next 15 seconds into the game.
Caitlin Townsend scored 44 seconds later for the Stags as they
tallied the first six goals of the game in the first 4:25 of the
Quinnipiac got on the board for the first time at the 25:23 mark and struck again just under a minute later to cut their deficit to four, 6-2. After over six minutes of scoreless action, Brittany Bare touched net for her first tally of the day and started the Stags second6-0 run of the game, giving Fairfield a 12-2 lead with 7:58 to play before intermission. After a Quinnipiac goal made the Stags lead 12-3, Jenna Slowey tallied the final goal of the half, with 50 seconds to play, to give Fairfield a 13-3 halftime edge.
Quinnipiac started the scoring in the second-half less than a minute into the period, but Chloe Mangan converted consecutive free position goals to fend off a potential rally. Fairfield built a 17-6 advantage on Katie Phillips goal with 9:33 to play, before the Bobcats tallied the final five goals of the contest.
Mangan led the Stags with four goals, while Bare also tallied
four points on two goals and two assists. Amanda Best scored twice,
and had an assist, as did Townsend, while Jenna Slowey scored three
times. Raso added a pair of goals and two draw controls. Mangan had
four of the Stags 15 caused turnovers, with Townsend adding three
caused turnovers. Mangan also had a team-high six ground balls,
while Slowey picked up five ground balls and Bare had four.
The Bobcats were led by the six goals of Marissa Caroleo, while Laura Iannotti added two goals and an assist. The Bobcats had 18 turnovers on the day with eight caused turnovers.
Katie Keenan earned the win in net for the Stags, making nine saves and allowing six goals in 50:27 of action. Kelley Brady played the final 9:33 in goal and made two saves in that time. Lexi DeStefano allowed 10 goals in playing the first 20:34 of the game for the Bobcats and took the loss. Noelle Martello played the final 39:26 for Quinnipiac and made four saves.
Fairfield is back in action on Tuesday when it hosts Holy Cross at 4 p.m. at Alumni Field.

Moral Courage AwardFriday, November 30th, 2012
Moral Courage can be thought of as the willingness to make sound safety decisions even when they are difficult or unpopular. Many times the pilot that exercises the courage to turn a flight down is making a tough decision, and in many cases their actions go unnoticed. Although it is impossible to know about the accident that didn't happen, it is a reasonable assumption that a certain percentage of no-go decisions have prevented accidents and possibly saved lives. Mr. D Smith, Senior Air Safety Investigator with the DOT/Transportation Safety Institute, believes that although these types of decisions are ones without fanfare, they are no less heroic than the more visible actions of other aviators. As such, he is looking for nominations for a new Moral Courage Safety Award. The award is aimed at recognizing individuals and organizations in the helicopter industry that make operational decisions based on sound safety risk management principles.
According to Mr. Smith, "The award was inspired from the true story of an EMS pilot who told of his decision to abort a critical neonatal transport after encountering un-forecasted bad weather. It was a very tough call; he had to weigh the safety of the crew with the life of a patient. In the end he aborted the transport knowing it was the right decision for the safety of everyone. His organization supported the decision and even went so far as to recognize him for making that tough call. Sometimes choosing the safest course of action can cost time or money, but in the long run it saves time, money, reputation, and possibly lives. It takes moral courage to do the right thing. We believe there are many individuals and organizations making these tough calls every day. We want to recognize them for their contribution to promoting a positive safety culture in the rotorcraft community."
Helicopter crew members, maintenance personnel, managers, and their organizations are eligible for the award. If you are interested in nominating someone please draft a short narrative of the event(s) and send it to [email protected] . The award will be presented during the annual HAI Heli-Expo.

BS University of Massachusetts, Amherst
After fleeing a career in human services, I came to Arnold Arboretum as a Hunnewell intern in 2003. I was hired as a horticultural technologist after completing multiple internships and an Arnold apprenticeship. For five years, I cared for the Leventritt Shrub and Vine Garden, a formal terraced display of over 750 sun-loving shrubs and vines. I found that I missed the more natural, "wilder" parts of the Arboretum and have now happily transferred my responsibilities to the care of the junipers, dwarf conifers, hickories, horsechestnuts, Bussey Brook, and other mixed collections.
In the winter, I teach winter pruning, shrub pruning, and conduct a snowshoe tour of the dwarf conifers and junipers as part of our Adult Education programs. Later in the year, I teach a course on woody vines for the garden, where we dive into the twining, winding plants that send cascades of blossoms over stone walls, trellises, and fences.
I am an ISA Certified Arborist® and serve on the executive board of the New England Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture. Along with three other women, I was one of the founding sisters and acted as the event coordinator for the Women's Tree Climbing Workshop from 2009-2011. This 2-day workshop introduces women to safe tree climbing techniques and various types of climbing gear. NEC-ISA continues to offer this course each fall and it includes expert training, CEU's, camping overnight onsite, yoga, and amazing meals catered by Puddingstone Kitchen.
Currently, I am collaborating with other industry professionals through the Landscape Advisory Committee for the Esplanade Association and the Advisory Committee for the Norfolk Agricultural High School.
Apart from the wide world of plants, I can be found snowshoeing, kayaking, or enjoying making/eating/searching for good food.

Reviews of this property
Clean and cosy little flat, very nice and caring host, also suitable for up to 4 people. Sourrounding area is a bit boring but the public transport system is always there for you. Outside area is quite nice for sitting around in the evening. Perfect for small groups of people for a few days in Amsterdam. Would do it again :)
I stayed a few days in this flat with my friends. Janeth, the owner, is very lovely and funny. The apartment was very very very clean, the kitchen is full of accessories. The flat is not so close to the centre of Amsterdam, but there are bus and train all day and night long. The district is quiet. Everything was perfect. Thanks Janeth!
My friends and I really loved the place, very easy to get to the center (direct bus or tram) and Janeth was very helpful before and after our arrival. I would definitely stay again! !
The Appartement was very nice.
A quiet area in Amsterdam, i think only 10 minutes from The center.

Thaks a lot janeth and eddy for their hospitality. The apt. was very clean and confortable, we recommend it everyone.
It was a great pleasure for us staying in this cosy and lovely prepared appartment. Everything was very nice and clean. The distance to center city was very near (by bike 15 min.) and convenient to reach all sight seeing locations, e.g. Westerpark - very cool! Kitchen facilities were satisfying in order to be able to easily prepare small menues, even oil and spices were available. Bath was also very clean and shower was top. The garden in front of the appartment surrounded by the fence gave us a secure feeling, the possibility to eat outside and store safely our bikes.
We would recommend and book this appartment again!
Lovely small apartement in a nice quarter and quite in the heart of Amsterdam. Just a 20 minutes ride to Central Station by bus or tram. Thank you Janeth for the service!

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 17, 2011) – The U.S. women's beach volleyball team of Emily Day and Heather Hughes won their second pool play match on Monday at the Pan American Games in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Also on Monday, the U.S. men's beach volleyball team of Mark Van Zwieten (Pompano Beach, Fla.) and Andrew Fuller (Hermosa Beach, Calif.) lost a hard-fought battle to Venezuela's Igor Hernandez and Farid Mussa, 21-19, 18-21, 16-14 in 54 minutes in their first Pan American Games pool play match at the Pan American Games.
On the women's side, Day (Torrance, Calif.) and Hughes (Fallbrook, Calif.) defeated Maria Jose Orellana and Anna Lourdes Ramirez of Guatemala, 28-26, 20-22, 15-8 in 58 minutes to go 2-0 in pool play.
Day and Hughes led in attacks, 36-32, and in aces, 2-1. Each team had three blocks. Day led all players in kills with 20.
After the teams split the first two sets, the U.S. squad took control of the third with the score knotted at six. Day and Hughes tallied three straight points to gain some breathing room at 9-6. Guatemala rebounded to pull within two at 10-8 before Team USA closed out the match with five consecutive points for a 15-8 third-set victory.
Successful attacks by Hughes led to three of the final five points, including the match winner.
"We started going back and focusing on our side and just going back to the basics of pass, set and being aggressive on attacking," Hughes said about the convincing final-set victory. "I think just not overthinking the game and playing our style of volleyball helped a lot."
Day and Hughes gutted out a 28-26 opening-set win, which the U.S. clinched on its seventh set point.
"That was huge was for us. Guatemala's a great team. They tested us; they pushed us," Day said. "It was back and forth near the end [of the first set], and for us to pull away, that's great. That gives us some more confidence — even though we lost game two — going into game three."
The U.S. pair will play for first place in the pool on Tuesday when it faces Columbia's Andrea and Claudia Galindo, who are also 2-0, at 11 a.m. CT.
In the men's match, after the teams split the first two sets, Van Zwieten and Fuller held a 14-13 advantage in the third and served for the match. Venezuela pulled even at 14, won a lengthy rally to grab the lead and then closed out the match for a 16-14 third-set victory.
"We had a really long rally — back and forth maybe seven or eight times at 14-14 in the third — and that was pretty much the match," Van Zwieten said. "They were able to stick with it and make a little bit better play at the end."
The match was back-and-forth from the start. In the opener, the U.S. led 19-17 before Venezuela scored the final four points to take the first set. Van Zwieten and Fuller held a slim 13-12 lead in the second before winning five points in a six-point stretch to help even the match at one set apiece.
The third set was knotted at five, 10 and 13 before Venezuela rallied for three straight points to close the match.
"It's just a couple points here and there. The scramble plays they were better on," Fuller said. "The plays that were broken, they were picking them up pretty well."
The Venezuelans held the advantage in attacks, 36-35, blocks, 6-5, and aces, 2-1.
"I thought we played well overall. We just had a little bit of trouble at the end of a couple of the games — the first set and the third set. The ones that we lost, we had leads," Van Zwieten said. "The second game we were able to put it together, but we're still a pretty new team and made some mistakes."
The U.S. men will return to action Tuesday against El Salvador's Jeovanny Ademir Medrano and David Gabriel Vargas at 5 p.m. CT.

Some experts warn an influx of foreign capital into Myanmar might cause significant environmental harm.significant environmental harm. In a bid to expand regional trade routes, for instance, both the Chinese and Japanese governments are making plans to open transportation corridors through some of Myanmar's far-flung jungles, paving the way for resource exploitation. The economic might of China, just to the north, is ever-present. In the Hukaung wildlife sanctuary, only 50 tigers are thought to survive, the rest victimized by an illegal wildlife trade with Chinese merchants who pay up to $30,000 for a single animal, dried and packed in a box.

"Sometimes I wonder whether student-centered learning is driven not just by Progressive ideology and Constructivist learning theory, but also by plain old expedience," writes Katharine Beals on Out in Left Field.
On Thursday, she teaches writing fundamentals to disadvantaged 11-year-olds in an afterschool program. The kids are restless, hungry and easily distracted.
And so, as my voice gives out and my energy drains and as my ability to keep the kids focused on my questions diminishes, I think to myself, wouldn't it be less exhausting if I stopped being the Sage on the Stage and instead become the Guide on the Side?
And then I wonder: how many teachers choose guidance over stagecraft . . . because it's so much less exhausting?
"Sage on the Stage instruction is quite often the most efficient way to teach and to learn," Beals writes. Furthermore, "attention is a muscle that atrophies if unused." Every year with a "guide" will make it harder for the next teacher to be a "sage."

August, when the sun pours down its golden rays like so many puddles of butter.� I can't think of anything to express this better than corn.� Freshly picked.� From a backyard garden, if you're lucky enough to have one.� Bought from a farm stand or farmers' market, and raced home so it doesn't lose any of its sweet goodness.� A pot of water set to boiling before husking, so it's ready when each stalk is cleanly stripped.� Only three minutes in the pot, then buttered, salted, and enjoyed.� Bitten off the cob, typewriter-style, back and forth on the cob.� Or neatly twirled, tearing the kernels off a section at a time.
When I'm rolling in corn, or when I buy too much just before a cool day, I turn to Corn Pudding.� More like a souffle than a dessert.� It's the way our culture, hundreds of years ago, used up bread before it went stale, a few shavings of cheese, and an ear or two or corn and made it something delicious and filling.� In modern times, it serves as a great side dish, especially with fresh pork, in any form or a main course for vegetarians.� Use gluten-free bread, and there's one more group able to relish it.
