Two Frogs walk stage with degrees in hand
Dec. 19, 2007
Kevin Langford (Fort Worth, Texas/Southwest H.S.) and Chudi Chinweze (Houston, Texas/Hightower H.S.) are used to playing on a big stage with a basketball in hand, but the Frog standouts had the opportunity to walk across a different type of stage with their degrees in hand.
The Frog hardwood standouts were awarded with their bachelor's degrees on Saturday (Dec. 15) at the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum as part of TCU's Fall Commencement Ceremony.
Langford received his degree in sociology with a minor in criminal justice, while Chinweze, who was a standout for the Frogs from 2003-06, earned his degree in general studies.
Langford is in his second season with the TCU men's basketball program after spending a season at the University of California. The TCU forward is enjoying a stellar junior campaign where he ranks second on the Purple and White in scoring average (12.9 P-G) and leads the Frogs in free throws made (39), free throw attempts (55) and free throw percentage (70.9 percent).
The Fort Worth native is currently ranked eighth in the Mountain West Conference in free throw percentage, 11th in rebounds per game (5.6 R-G) and 18th in scoring average (12.9 P-G). A CBS Sportsline All-Mountain West Conference pre-season performer, Langford is riding a seven-game double-digit scoring streak and has helped the Frogs get off to a 6-3 start this season.
Chinweze was a four-year standout for the Frogs where he appeared in 79 games, including 47 trips to the starting lineup. The former Frog starter averaged 9.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per game and reached double figures in scoring on 37 occasions. He led the Frogs in rebounding during his sophomore season and blocked shots during his final campaign.
The Houston talent ranks among the program's all-time leaders in career field goal percentage (51.7 percent) and ranked second in Conference USA in that statistical category during the 2003-04 season. Currently, Chinweze is employed by the Fort Worth ISD.
Langford and Chinweze became the 17th and 18th players to earn their degrees from TCU since Neil Dougherty has been the head coach of the Frogs.

A Hoe Lot of Trouble
by Heather Webber
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Good characters, killer was definitely a surprise! Next one please.
pretty good!
I tried, I really did. But I was never able to get through this, despite starting it three times. I don't _care_ about the piled-up troubles of a newly-divorced garden designer with a teenage son; I never even got to the actual murder. Not for me.
I finally tracked this book down on MobiPocket. The author switched publishers, it seems, and this book is out of print.While this is obviously her first book, it has the same flavor and convolution of her later mysteries. Riley, Nina's stepson is still one of my favorite characters, and seeing him from the beginning adds a lot to his growth as a character throughout the series.As far as the mystery goes, Webber is good at creating credible red herrings. Though the sub-plot with Riley was pretty easy to figure out, the murder was more complicated. Definitely an enjoyable afternoon read!
Landscaper Nina Quinn has a full plate: a cheating husband, a rebellious stepson, a sister getting married, an escaped 4-foot boa constrictor, missing equipment at work, and noisy neighbors. Add to the mix the recent tragic death of Joe Sandowski, the man who inspired her career choice. Someone is after the Sandowski's farm, and Nina agrees to try to find the culprit, and possible murderer. Since her husband Kev is the homicide detective in Freedom, Ohio, Nina keeps having to deal with him on multiple fronts. As the investigation turns dangerous, Nina wonders who she can trust, since she can't trust Kev. Or can she trust him as an officer, just not as a husband? Nina's fifth adventure was entitled Weeding Out Trouble. A short article about gardening written by Nina ends each book in the series.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060723475, Mass Market Paperback)There's a serpent loose in Nina's garden ...
Nina Colette Ceceri Quinn's business, Taken by Surprise -- a landscaping firm specializing in surprise garden makeovers -- is the only thing in her life that seems to be thriving. Her marriage to adulterous police detective Kevin Quinn has wilted. Her antisocial stepson Riley is spreading trouble around like pungent manure. Even her gardening tools are disappearing, including a rather valuable set of hoes.
Worst of all, the delightful old man who first introduced her to the joys of horticulture is dead -- and not by natural causes. Something evil has taken root in Nina's Ohio small town, and the local police -- including dearly unbeloved Kev -- are baffled. But it's amazing what a resourceful gardener can dig up when she puts her mind to it -- though, by sticking her hands too deeply into this fetid, fertile soil, Nina might well end up planted beneath her own petunias.

Master landscaper Nina Colette Quinn turns sleuth to investigate the murder of the elderly man who had introduced her to the joys of horticulture.

Next Episode of The Red Nose Day Special is
In the continued spirit of raising money to help lift children out of poverty, NBC is once again set to celebrate Red Nose Day with a two-hour television event. The second annual Red Nose Day special will air Thursday, May 26, 9:00 - 11:00 p.m. ET. Top comedy and musical performances from A-list celebrities and artists around the world will once again raise money to help lift children out of poverty. With a focus on driving change through powerful entertainment, M&M'S® is returning as a presenting media sponsor, while Walgreens plans to serve as the exclusive retailer of the emblematic noses in the U.S.Money raised during Red Nose Day will be used to fund programs that address the immediate needs of children and young people living in poverty in the U.S. and throughout the world. Money will be split between domestic and international poverty issues. Last year's inaugural Red Nose Day special raised over $23 million and was split among 12 domestic and international charities. The charities for the 2016 Red Nose Day special will be announced at a later date. Red Nose Day has been an enormously popular event in the U.K. for 30 years and is an inspiring cultural phenomenon that unites people from all walks of life in the interest of saving and changing lives across the globe.With superstar presenters and comedians, original sketch comedy, hilarious film parodies, one-off sitcom reunions and amazing musical performances, this program has been one of the BBC's highest-rated Friday night shows for many years. Best of all, it's raised more than $1 billion in donations so far for organizations addressing poverty, and shows no signs of slowing down. Created by writer-director Richard Curtis in 1985 ("Love Actually," "Four Weddings and a Funeral," "About Time"), the idea of Red Nose Day was built upon the foundation that mass media and celebrities can help raise money and awareness of poverty to save and change millions of lives.
Craig Ferguson and a star-studded cast of Hollywood favorites is coming together to have fun, raise money and change the lives of kids who need our help the most in 'The Red Nose Day Special' on NBC. Broadcast live from Los Angeles on Red Nose Day, Thursday, May 26 (9-11 p.m. ET), the special will feature hilarious comedy, incredible music performances from popular artists and short, compelling films shedding light on children in need here at home and around the world. Coming together for the FUN-raising special will be Ellen DeGeneres, Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson, Sarah Silverman, Tracy Morgan, Key & Peele, Anna Kendrick, Seth Rogen, Zac Efron and Ellie Kemper, along with Kristen Bell, Emma Watson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Rose Byrne, Blake Griffin, Emma Thompson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Steve Buscemi, Danny Trejo, Adam Devine and Ron Funches.
Entertainers raise funds for people living in poverty; short films highlight those in need -- including a "Love Actually'' reunion; Chris Hardwick hosts.

2 Tasting Notes
The aroma is very pleasing and interesting – more savory than sweet. The flavor is very smooth, even though I over-steeped it a bit. No hint of bitterness. The color is very light, more yellow than green. I tend to favor senchas, but this might be my new favorite.
I love this. It was a gift from my daughter, but I first experienced it because my son's fiancee has one. I find that just dumping the leaves and rinsing it has been enough for cleaning, though sometimes I'll soak it with some soap. I've never tried it in the dishwasher. I like it especially for teas that have a wonderful color, such as Ureshino Tama Kyokucha.

Fat Joe, All or Nothing (* * * out of four) Fat Joe has spent the past dozen years or so determinedly working his way up rap's hierarchy. Last summer, he and the Terror Squad lit up the airwaves with the anthemic Lean Back. Obvious attempts to repeat that radio triumph, such as hit first single Get It Poppin', with Nelly, and the R. Kelly-aided So Hot, don't have the same creative sizzle. Fat Joe shines when he swings from the hip on such songs as the rugged Safe 2 Say (The Indestructible) and murderous Temptation Pts. 1 & 2. He viciously returns fire at 50 Cent — who had targeted him previously — with the derisive My Fo Fo. Fat Joe makes it clear that even hip-hop's hottest star isn't about to push him out of his hard-earned spot near the top. —Steve Jones (Related chat: Talk music with Steve Jones, 1 p.m. ET)
Foo Fighters, In Your Honor (* * ½) This may be the Foo Fighters' best unfinished work, a flabby double disc that fans can turn into a beefy single album by simply pressing the skip button at key junctures. Designed to showcase the band's aggressive and sensitive extremes, Honor winds up muddled in the middle with too much mediocrity. The first half is a mixed bag of noisy, wailing hard rock that plunges into clichéd heavy metal (Hell) and strained bluster (Best of You) before rebounding with the blissful power pop of Resolve and romantic The Deepest Blues Are Black. Though Dave Grohl's grunge-era screams occasionally overwhelm the rock disc's push-pull dynamics and melodic structure, he pulls back the vocal roar and sings with restraint on the second, unplugged set, his pleasant croon nicely fitting Norah Jones on a bossa nova duet, Virginia Moon. Another highlight is the gloomy Friend of a Friend, the first song Grohl ever wrote, reportedly in 1991 at the home of his late Nirvana bandmate, Kurt Cobain. Its bittersweet nostalgia compensates for a lack of engaging lyrics elsewhere. Though its most smartly crafted tunes and liveliest performances don't measure up to the band's finest, Honor is an honorable effort, full of the brawn and vigor that keeps the Foos in fighting shape. —Edna Gundersen
Billy Corgan, The Future Embrace (* * * ) Having dismantled '90s giant Smashing Pumpkins and the short-lived Zwan, Corgan is now on his own, and this solo debut indeed sounds like the lonely ruminations of a lost and isolated electro-Goth rocker on the path to redemption. His disembodied voice almost disappears in the static and hum of a spaced-out version of the Bee Gees' To Love Somebody, suitably augmented by vocals from The Cure's Robert Smith. The music can be mechanical and chilly, with walls of buzz, guitar distortion and haunting effects, but Corgan's lyrics and aching whine convey the heart and psyche in an agonizing struggle to decipher the past and confront fears. Bold, eccentric and personal, Embrace may not be embraceable by the masses, but Corgan devotees will warm to its idiosyncratic charms. —Gundersen
Ry Cooder, Chávez Ravine (* * * ½) Cooder's tribute to the Los Angeles barrio that preceded Dodger Stadium plays like James Ellroy's novels read. A sprawling urban epic full of street-level mystery and local political intrigue, it's peppered with an incongruous array of historical characters like police chief William Parker and doo-wop singer Little Julian Herrera and rich with the language of the times — UFOs, McCarthyism, Dragnet. Cooder lovingly re-creates the era's culture, even as time continues to raze it: Two musicians Cooder used — Chicano jazzman Lalo Guerrero and pachuco bandleader Don Tosti — died before the album's release. Though this story and music come out of L.A.'s past, they have implications far beyond the city limits — for the home state of Hawaiian music great Bla Pahinui, who sings 3rd Base, Dodger Stadium; for today's rapidly growing Hispanic population; for anybody with a poor neighborhood and a "progress"-minded city government. —Brian Mansfield
The Light in the Piazza (* * * ½) Adam Guettel's Tony Award-winning score, for this past season's most haunting new musical, is the kind that you don't often hear on Broadway these days. From the first notes of the rhapsodic overture, the acclaimed composer's latest outing is driven by lush, intricate melodies and lyrics that, however thoughtful, never sacrifice emotional acuity for flashy cleverness. Principals Victoria Clark, Kelli O'Hara and Matthew Morrison invest his work with due vigor and vibrancy, whether delivering rapturous love songs such as the title track and Passeggiata or more sobering reflections. If more artists even aspired to this level of incandescence, musical theater's future would look a lot brighter. —Elysa Gardner
Patti LaBelle, Classic Moments (* * * ) Whenever you see stars of this caliber delving into vintage material, you hope they can create some classic moments of their own. LaBelle samples a broad spectrum of pop and soul hits, spanning the '60s and '90s, but not always in memorable fashion. Patti riffs soulfully with Mary J. Blige on Aretha Franklin's Ain't No Way, but it doesn't come close to the Queen of Soul's original. Love Don't Live Here Anymore lacks the anguish conveyed by Rose Royce, while Silly misses Deniece Williams' sweet yearning. Still, LaBelle comes through more often than not, especially with tunes that harken to her Philadelphia roots. She infuses songs such as The Delfonics' Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time) and the Jones Girls' YGMMLSE (You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else) with her trademark high energy. She delivers an emotionally satisfying rendition of Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make You Love Me and has the most fun playing off Elton John on his Your Song. At her best, LaBelle sparkles polishing up some old gems. —Jones

Wrapping up its best performance ever at a biennial Farnborough Airshow, Airbus logged new business for 496 aircraft – including 133 widebody jetliners with agreements involving the newly-launched A330neo and in-production A330ceo versions, along with the soon-to-enter-service A350 XWB.
The A330neo (new engine option) was at the centre of attention throughout the week-long industry event, with Airbus' go-ahead for the launch of this new engine option aircraft followed by rapid-paced announcements of commitments for 121 aircraft.
These bookings involved both versions being offered: the A330-800neo, which has the same fuselage length as Airbus' in-production A330-200ceo (current engine option); and the A330-900neo, which uses the A330-300ceo's fuselage length.
With this latest product line addition, Airbus continued to reinforce its widebody jetliner leadership, and builds on the workhorse twin-engine A330's reputation and customer base. A330neo airline commitments were received from AirAsia X, the long-haul affiliate of Asia's largest low-cost airline, involving 50 aircraft; and Russia's Transaero Airlines, for 12 A330neo aircraft – its first European airline. In addition, an unnamed Asian customer signed for four A330neos.
Completing the A330neo transactions revealed at Farnborough were agreements with three aircraft lessors: Air Lease Corporation, Avolon and CIT Group, which committed to acquiring a combined total of 55. Executives of these leasing companies predicted an overall sales potential for more than 1,000 A330neos, and cited the aircraft's operating advantages – particularly in the fast-growing Asia-Pacific marketplace.
Other new widebody business detailed during the air show event were Transaero's commitment for eight A330ceo aircraft and the Memorandum of Understanding from Air Mauritius for six A350 XWBs.
Also at the Farnborough Airshow, Airbus' single-aisle A320 Family maintained its reputation as a best-seller, with 363 orders and commitments announced, led by SMBC Aviation Capital's firm order for 110 A320neo and five A320ceo jetliners. It was joined by transactions with AerCap, BOC Aviation, the CIT Group, Hong Kong Aviation Capital and International Airlines Group (IAG).
• For more information on Airbus' Farnborough Airshow business results, see the press release.

Potted Potter - The Unauthorized Harry Experience - A Parody by Dan and Jeff
This event has already taken place. Click here for the latest events.05-05-2013 12:00:00 05-05-2013 12:00:00 America/New_York Potted Potter - The Unauthorized Harry Experience - A Parody by Dan and Jeff | 3pm and 5:30pm Playing to sold-out houses all over the world, the Olivier Award nominated "Potted Potter - The Unauthorized Harry Experience - A Parody by Dan and Jeff" takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing all seven Harry Potter books (and a real life game of Quidditch) into 70 hilarious minutes.

While Ford has wised up to fuel efficiency, Subaru is downsizing.
What's the point of the Ford Falcon EcoBoost 2.0-litre again? Well, it's an entry-level model that gives business buyers the chance to keep some big-six values (space, rear-drive, status), but also really impress the accountant with four-cylinder C02 figures.
There's just one problem: Falcon may have wised up on efficiency, but it's a bit too late: buyers are walking away from large sedans in droves.
In 2004, large cars were 25 per cent of the market; now, they're more like 7 per cent. Lots of those people have gone and bought SUVs; but there are many business buyers who still need something a bit more traditional, something three-box with a boot.
Enter Subaru. The local distributor reckons the new Impreza is right on target to conquer some of those disillusioned big-six-sedan buyers. After all, this is not your average medium-size machine: the idiosyncrasy of its boxer engine and all-wheel-drive will be incentives for those mourning their big Aussie machines.
How times have changed. Both Falcon and Impreza were once thought of as gas-guzzlers. Now, the Ford has a high-tech four-pot engine and the Subaru is the most fuel-efficient car in its class, thanks to a new powerplant, Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and stop-start technology.
So there we have it. Subaru says it can make downsizing a pleasure. Ford says actually, you don't have to. Which is the better option? To find out, I took both of these cars down the main road from Auckland-Taupo, return.
The test: open-road performance, real-world handling, comfort and fuel efficiency.
It's a closer match than you might think. These cars are even pretty close in price. The Falcon EcoBoost is only sold in entry-level XT specification: at $48,490 it's got all of the essentials such as single-zone climate air conditioning, Bluetooth, iPod integration, cruise control and reversing sensors.
But Falcon XT money also buys you a top-line Impreza SL sedan: this $46,990 model boasts a luxury kit that an XT driver can only dream about, such as leather upholstery, satellite navigation, power seats and power sunroof.
Let's get to the facts and figures: the Subaru easily won the fuel consumption contest, with an average of 6.8 litres per 100km for the 600km trip. The Falcon did well though, with 7.5 litres.
They're both machines that reward the driver. I'm no fan of CVT, even a system called Lineartronic that Subaru swears is not really CVT at all (it is).
But it works well on the open road, providing you're not pressing on all the time. And the Impreza is still one of those mainstream sedans that still has decent steering feel and a chassis that flows from corner to corner.
The Falcon is better still. The steering is superb, the combination of a punchy four-pot turbo and proper six-speed automatic gearbox simply delightful and the rear-drive chassis really well-sorted. Even an entry-level Falcon XT on tiny 16-inch wheels is fabulous to drive.
Aussies know a thing or two about long-haul comfort as well. The Falcon's driving position is still too high, but the seats are incredibly supportive and the car is surprisingly quiet at speed.
Falcon has large-car dimensions on its side of course, so if you need the space it's an easy decision. It'll carry five in comfort and boasts a 505-litre boot. Performance is superior, too: power-to-weight is 111kW per tonne, versus the Impreza's 80kW per tonne.
And yet, you're still driving an entry-level fleet car. Size ain't everything: the Falcon doesn't have the cachet of a top-line Impreza. The Subaru looks and feels a bit special by comparison, and, CVT-or-not, it's still better to drive than most of the mainstream metal out there. Plus it has the advantage of all-wheel drive.
If we're picking a winner, it has to be the Subaru. If you're a big-six buyer wanting to downsize, it offers something special: a characterful engine, all-wheel drive and a lot of luxury equipment. For the business buyer, it's a car for the times. Purchase order approved!

RICS global vice president Craig Fossick said the awards recognised the number of sales in excess of $5 million last year, based on data provided by Real Capital Analytics and verified within the industry.
The awards, announced at the annual RICS New Zealand global commercial property seminar, recognise achievement in commercial, industrial and retail categories.
Mark Synnott, chief executive of Colliers International New Zealand said a number of notable sales last year helped the agency win the awards. They included the Chancery car park building in Auckland CBD, which sold for $38 million; the Countdown supermarket in Lynfield, Auckland ($20 million); the Valley shopping centre in New Plymouth ($42 million) and the Ports of Wellington ($80 million).
The agency also beat competition from throughout the Asia Pacific region to win the top Five Star award for Best Property Consultancy - Marketing at the annual Asia Pacific Property Awards, in association with HSBC and RICS Asia.
"We are delighted to have been recognised at a regional level, against strong competition from Australia and Asia, in two major industry awards in the space of two weeks," Synnott said.
The awards, presented at a property and hospitality summit in Kuala Lumpur, are are open to property companies from around the globe, recognising achievement in the real estate industry.

Formerly a pros-only product, paint protection film is now available in easy-to-apply spray-on kits. An expert from 3M shows how to do it.
The paint on the leading edge of car hoods is on the front line for gravel and sand damage. Until recently, you only had two ways to protect the hood: install a "bra" or apply paint protection film. Bras are not only ugly but also lower gas mileage and trap road grit, which damages the paint. Paint protection film looks and works much better, but professional installation costs about $500. Now there's a product that DIYers can apply to protect against paint chips—spray-on/peel-off paint protection film.
Several companies make this paint film, but we chose the 3M Paint Defender product for this story because it lasts up to a year. It costs about $25 and contains enough material to coat the bottom third of your hood. Find it at any auto parts store. We asked 3M product expert Todd Mathes to walk us through the prep and application process.
You'll also need car-washing supplies, poly sheeting to cover the entire car and ground, clean-edge masking tape and a microfiber cloth. Or buy the optional installation kit and a spray trigger. The entire job takes less than two hours. Here's how it's done.
The engine and hood must be cool when you apply the product. A hot engine will heat the hood and force-dry the spray between coats, defeating its self-leveling feature. So check the weather report and pick a time when it'll be cool, dry and calm. Park the car in a shaded area the night before. Then start the project by washing the car with car wash soap. Make sure you remove all traces of bug splatter and tar. Then rinse and dry completely.
Next, pop the hood and prop it open about 4 in. with a roll of paper towels or a block of wood.
Carefully apply the first layer and then the second layer directly below it. Make the second tape line as straight as possible, and press down along the edge to seal it to the hood as you apply. Double over one end of the tape to make a peel tab.
Squirt a dollop of wax onto the hood and work it in with a microfiber towel. Continue wiping until the surface is free of haze.
Spread a poly sheet over the entire vehicle. Then spread sheeting on the ground to catch any overspray. Starting at the grille, use a scissors to cut straight up the center of the poly, stopping about 18 in. from the bottom edge of the hood. Then cut right and left out to the fenders until you have formed a "T" cutout. Tuck the flaps under the hood and tape them inside the engine compartment to prevent them from moving while you spray. Secure the rest of the sheeting to the car and floor with tape to prevent it from blowing onto the wet finish.
Next, tape the top of the "T" to the hood. Apply another layer of tape to form the clean edge between the spray film and the rest of the hood (Photo 1). Once the poly is in place, apply the synthetic wax included with the product (Photo 2). Waxing is an important step to make removal easier a year from now. So even if you've recently waxed the car, do it again using the wax packet included with the product.
Starting at the tape line and spraying down to the bottom edge of the hood, spray the product continuously in alternating left to right rows at the rate of two seconds per foot. Overlap each row slightly. Immediately spray a second layer, moving up and down over the same section. Then apply a third coat in the side-to-side pattern.
Grab the doubled-over peel tab and pull the clean-edge tape up and away from the wet edge.
Shake the can of 3M Paint Defender for a full minute before applying. Then hold the nozzle 6 to 8 in. from the hood and apply three coats to one-half of the hood (Photo 3). Spray all three coats in one continuous motion (don't stop and start at the ends of each row or coat). Move the can at the rate of six seconds per pass. Continue spraying onto the fender, over and above the tape line, and below the bottom edge of the hood to get a uniform film thickness at the edges. A proper application of the paint protection film should have an "orange peel" texture and a slightly milky look. Don't worry—the product self-levels and dries clear. Then spray the second half of the hood. When you're done, remove the clean-edge tape while the spray is still wet (Photo 4).
Park the car in the sun and let it dry for two to four hours. The film cures fully in one to four days, depending on the air temperature and humidity.
Lift up a top corner and pull the paint protection film down toward the bottom of the hood to release as large a piece as possible. Then use both hands to pull the old film up and across the hood. Wipe the excess off the edges with a rag. Apply a fresh layer of protection film following the steps shown.
Our expert says that the film can last a bit longer than one year but may yellow from UV exposure. However, the longer you wait, the harder it is to remove, so don't push your luck. Pop the hood and peel the film loose around all three edges using your fingernail. Then remove all the film (Photo 5).
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Ponzo Indicted in Boise on Firearms and Identity Theft Charges
Beyonce Perry on 02 20, 2012
BOISE, ID—Enrico Michael Ponzo, also known as "Jay Shaw," 43, formerly of Marsing, Idaho, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Boise on Tuesday on multiple counts of unlawfully possessing firearms and identity theft, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson announced today. Ponzo is currently in the custody of the United States Marshals Service in the District of Massachusetts, where he awaits trial on federal charges, including RICO, conspiracy to murder, and attempted murder.
The indictment filed yesterday alleges that in September 2010, Ponzo unlawfully possessed one firearm and in February 2011, he unlawfully possessed 33 other firearms. The indictment further alleges that Ponzo possessed with intent to use unlawfully five or more identification documents between March 1995 and February 8, 2011. The indictment further alleges that between September 1993 and February 2011, Ponzo possessed and used a means of identification of nine other people. The indictment further alleges that in February 2011, Ponzo possessed two identification documents, which had been stolen or produced without lawful authority, in the names of other individuals. The indictment contains an allegation seeking forfeiture of real and personal property and currency constituting proceeds of unlawful activity.
Each count of unlawful possession of a firearm, as charged in counts one through four of the indictment, is punishable by up to 10 years in prison, a maximum fine of $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release. The charge of possession with intent to use five or more documents or authentication features, as charged in count five, is punishable by up to five years in prison, a maximum fine of $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release. The charge of aggravated identity theft, as charged in counts six through 14, is punishable by a mandatory term of two years in prison, to run consecutively, a $250,000 fine, and up to one year of supervised release. The charge of identity theft, as charged in counts 15 and 16, is punishable by up to one year in prison, a maximum fine of $100,000, and up to five years of probation.
The case was investigated by the Treasure Valley Metro Violent Crimes Task Force.
For further information regarding Ponzo's charges in the District of Massachusetts, please see the press release issued on February 8, 2011, by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Boston.
An indictment is a means of charging a person with criminal activity. It is not evidence. The person is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

There is not much of a difference between a diabetic patient and a person who consumes alcohol. Both of them are supposed to avoid consuming certain things and both of them cannot survive without it. You need to be focused and determined. Our tongue forces us to eat sweets and other junk food which we are generally supposed to avoid also in case of an alcoholic person the tongue forces him for the taste of alcohol. Having control over the tongue and mind would do good to you.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Congratulations! That is one day's work .... so beautiful!!!
Make it a scrappy happy day!
I quilted mine with graduated circles in each wedge. Couldn't think of anything else. Will be making more, so will have to think about it some more. Will watch for other ideas. Ann
That is beautiful and looks very hard to me, especially all the curviness...
Nope, not hard at all. Just follow the directions with the specialty ruler and it's easy. You just have to keep the strips organized once you cut them.
very nice colours in your table runner
That s really pretty! I love red and white or red and cream together. I bought the ruler and pattern from Philips Fiber Arts a couple of years ago and I have yet to make one!!!

Very pretty!
I quilted mine about 1/4inch each side of the straight seams . I also appliquéd a heart on.
Finished is better than a UFO
very nice!!!!!

Even though asking questions here isn't right, we all got this idea from an OLD "cards.swf" file on the homestarrunner.com server. It's gone now, but when you flipped through a "deck of cards" in it with all the characters and their names, you came upon "The Unguraits" and finally, "Homeschool Winner," the rejected characters.

An unused character on homestarrunner.com. He is Homestar Runner's brother. Only appeared in a deck of cards (which is no longer on the website) and a game called Dancin' Bubs. Rumor has it that he would have been a Homsar-like character, but Homsar replaced him.

Homeschool Winner is Homestar's little brother. He is skinnier, and a little taller, because he was into books and computers from his wee ages and didn't get out much. He's all into technology and is a nerd. He owns a Dell. He lives a little ways outside of Free Country, and doesn't visit often. He hosts his own e-mails at www.independenthomestar.com forums. He was also the target of an enlightening interview there, too.

Watch Can We Help in high quality on iviewwatch on iview
Neil Bennett Bureau of Meteorology
Is Australia suffering more extreme weather now than in the past? asks Tony, SA
Today, the number of incidents of severe weather compared to when our records started almost 120 years ago show that there hasnt been a significant increase in thunder storms or severe wind events. What we have seen is an increase in drought activity. Our droughts are becoming longer and more extreme because temperatures are rising and with a lack of rainfall this makes evaporation increase. So what were finding is that these droughts are hanging about for longer and are becoming more extreme.
Why dont scientists use cloud seeding to create rain? asks Brian, VIC
Cloud seeding has been around for a long time now, it was actually first proposed in the forties. So, its being used around the world and in Australia; both in the snowy mountains and Tasmania. The actual techniques used to get a cloud to produce more rain are quite complicated. Usually the technique is to push silver iodide into the cloud which acts as a bond for the water vapour to attach itself to and create more rainfall. It is being used but because of the technology you still need a cloud to be present and without it you can't get the rain.

Wsnap is a screen capture tool that lets you take a screenshot of any portion of the screen. With this software in place, you can quickly create snapshots for your product page, multimedia presentation, technical manual, or a web article. Screenshots make your publication look appealing and more informative. Sometimes a single look at a screenshot is more helpful in understanding the functional peculiarity of a product than a page of the most detailed textual description. Unique to Wsnap is its ability to capture almost all screen elements, including 3D games, Flash animations, cascading menus and more. All this is done with one mouse click.
Wsnap has a simple user interface that takes you a minute and a few clicks here and there to get started with your first screenshot. You can use the tool to capture the entire screen, active windows, controls, cascading and floating menus, as well as rectangular, elliptic, rounded corners and freehand areas. The program lets you capture the mouse pointer and add any watermark you want. Once the screenshot has been captured, you can save it to a file in the four most popular formats such as BMP, JPG, PNG and GIF. Additionally, the screenshot can be copied to the clipboard, opened in an external editor, published on the web, or sent by email.
The program can be customized to suite your particular needs. If you are a fully fledged typist, you can customize hotkeys to trigger a particular capture action at a specified keystroke. With the hotkey support, you can capture a screenshot while working with another application. To be more productive, Wsnap provides you with the ability to make a list of actions that will be automatically executed, once the screenshot has been captured. This includes all the after capture actions you do with mouse clicks, for example, saving the screenshot to a file, coping to the clipboard, adding a watermark, or scaling the output to fit the required size.

9 Strategies for Motivating Students in Mathematics
Motivating students to be (enthusiastically) receptive is one of the most important aspects of mathematics instruction and a critical aspect of the Common Core State Standards. Effective teachers should focus attention on the less interested students as well as the motivated ones. Presented in this blog post are nine techniques, based on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, which can be used to motivate secondary school students in mathematics.
Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation
Extrinsic motivation involves rewards that occur outside the learner's control. These may include token economic rewards for good performance, peer acceptance of good performance, avoidance of "punishment" by performing well, praise for good work and so on.
However, many students demonstrate intrinsic goals in their desire to understand a topic or concept (task-related), to outperform others (ego-related), or to impress others (social-related). The last goal straddles the fence between intrinsic and extrinsic.
With these basic concepts in mind, there are specific techniques which might be expanded, embellished and adapted to the teacher's personality and, above all, made appropriate for the learner's level of ability and environment. The strategies are the important parts to remember -- examples are provided merely to help understand the techniques.
Strategies for Increasing Student Motivation in Math
1. Call Attention to a Void in Students' Knowledge
This motivational technique involves making students aware of a void in their knowledge and capitalizes on their desire to learn more. For instance, you may present a few simple exercises involving familiar situations, followed by exercises involving unfamiliar situations on the same topic. The more dramatically you do this, the more effective the motivation.
2. Show a Sequential Achievement
Closely related to the preceding technique is that of having students appreciate a logical sequence of concepts. This differs from the previous method in that it depends on students' desire to increase, but not complete, their knowledge. One example of a sequential process is how special quadrilaterals lead from one to another, from the point of view of their properties.
3. Discovering a Pattern
Setting up a contrived situation that leads students to "discovering" a pattern can often be quite motivating, as they take pleasure in finding and then "owning" an idea. An example could be adding the numbers from 1 to 100. Rather than adding in sequence, students add the first and last (1 + 100 = 101), and then the second and next-to-last (2 + 99 = 101), and so on. Then all one has to do to get the required sum is multiplying 50 X 101 = 5,050. The exercise will give students an enlightening experience.
4. Present a Challenge
When students are challenged intellectually, they react with enthusiasm. Great care must be taken in selecting the challenge. The problem (if that is the type of challenge) must definitely lead into the lesson and be within reach of the students' abilities.
5. Entice the Class with a "Gee-Whiz" Mathematical Result
To motivate basic belief in probability, a very effect motivation is a class discussion of the famous "Birthday Problem," which gives the unexpectedly high probability of birthday matches in relatively small groups. Its amazing -- even unbelievable -- result will leave the class in awe.
6. Indicate the Usefulness of a Topic
Introduce a practical application of genuine interest to the class at the beginning of a lesson. For example, in the high school geometry course, a student could be asked to find the diameter of a plate where all the information he or she has is a section smaller that a semicircle. The applications chosen should be brief and uncomplicated to motivate the lesson rather than detract from it.
7. Use Recreational Mathematics
Recreational motivation consists of puzzles, games, paradoxes or facilities. In addition to being selected for their specific motivational gain, these devices must be brief and simple. An effective execution of this technique will allow students to complete the "recreation" without much effort.
8. Tell a Pertinent Story
A story of a historical event (for example, math involved in building the Brooklyn Bridge) or contrived situation can motivate students. Teachers should not rush while telling the story. A hurried presentation minimizes the potential motivation of the strategy.
9. Get Students Actively Involved in Justifying Mathematical Curiosities
One of the more effective techniques for motivating students is asking them to justify one of many pertinent mathematical curiosities. The students should be familiar and comfortable with the mathematical curiosity before you "challenge" them to defend it.
Teachers of mathematics must understand the basic motives already present in their learners. The teacher can then play on these motivations to maximize engagement and enhance the effectiveness of the teaching process. Exploiting student motivations and affinities can lead to the development of artificial mathematical problems and situations. But if such methods generate genuine interest in a topic, the techniques are eminently fair and desirable.

Savannah is in 7th grade and has freckles and brown hair with a pink ribbon in the back that helps keep her pretty hair out of her face. I think Savannah might be a little tall for her age. She has a high, sweet voice I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing it's so cute. But when she starts whining in her other voice I want to gouge both of my eyes out with a dull spoon.
I was substituting in Savannah's math class and Kathy the math teacher left a pile of worksheets on fraction problems for them to complete. When I looked at the first page they were supposed to do and at those million fraction problems I started getting real woozy.
I understand that a lot of people in the world think math is important.
When Savannah started in on how hard these fraction problems were over and over and over and over I felt a deep and instant kinship with her ... until she started slapping the page on her desk over and over and over while she was saying real loud and whiney how hard it was over and over and over at the same time. Savannah also asked me real loud wasn't the numerator supposed to be greater than the denominator or did she ask me over and over and over was the denominator supposed to be greater than the numerator and that's when I started twitching and my body fluids started pouring out of all of my seven orifices like the Ogeechee River and I became a blob of quivering, useless, steaming biomatter in the real teacher's desk chair with two glazed-over eyeballs staring up at the ceiling and if there would have been a math poster on fractions stapled to the ceiling then that would have been an incredible comic and ironic touch but there wasn't a math poster stapled to the ceiling above Kathy's desk thank the Lord God almighty.
Gilligan finally said ... I"LL help her.
I said thank you, Jesus. I mean Gilligan.
A little while later after Gilligan had helped calm down Savannah and while she was rocking and rolling on those fraction problems with no problem at all, on her own, she asked me was I a math teacher.
I said no. Not even close.
She said then how come you're in here with us doing these math problems.
I said in a math class I'm definitely in a substitute supervisory role type situation.
Savannah said ... Well, I've seen you before around here.
Interesting article that lists some good ways to have students motivated in Math. I'm curious to know if any teachers have tried to introduce other kind of equipment or games into classroom to teach Algebra or Physics?
I must say after reading this blog that I have to agree with the things that motivate the students. I am exclusively teaching math and science to my 3rd graders this year which gives me the opportunity to try many different ways to get them motivated.
The one I would say that sticks out the most for me is number 7 (use recreational mathematics). It is a requirement at my school to involve workstations including games, computers, listening centers, real world word problems and small group hands on activities. I use these activities to reinforce the lesson that was taught and spiral back to skills that have been previously taught.
The students are actually excited to spend their 40 minutes per day working on the activities. It motivates them to critically think and work on areas that they may struggle with but in a more relaxed fun atmosphere without the pressure.
[quote]Interesting article that lists some good ways to have students motivated in Math. I'm curious to know if any teachers have tried to introduce other kind of equipment or games into classroom to teach Algebra or Physics?[/quote]
Our Physics' teachers use all sorts of other "equipment" in the class. For example, I have witnessed lessons where they have used Nerf Guns and had students video record the activity and feed the video into the Logger Pro software from Vernier which allows them to chart the flight path of the nerf "bullet". They also take a field trip to a major amusement park and determine the "g" force on the different rides. These are just a few examples of how they bring in hands on activities to Physics.
Jason, I'd like to take your school's physics class. :-)
Seriously though, those are some great, fun ideas for teaching how physics permeates everything we do.
Based on my past experience, kids show more motivation when they realize the teacher is passionate about Math. Giving real life and relevant examples works very well when introducing new Math subjects in the classroom. When coaching Math teachers, I always remind them it is essential to combines the theory with as many practical examples as possible. This is very crucial, especially in the case of younger students.
Some great suggestions here - I'd especially like to echo Sam Mirs' comment - students respond to teachers' passions, so if you, as a teacher, are excited about Maths, then students are far more likely to be excited. I also think that providing concrete manipulatives is essential too - for example, I'm about to start a course on probability, so you can guarantee that the big fluffy dice are going to get used, as are the playing cards.
How do I get my 9th grader motivated. He has come from a charter learning environment small classes to a large high school. He has struggled with math since 6th grade. All his teachers have tried and we've had tutors since 6th grad to present. He thinks hes ok till he gets home and then everything seems to disappear. We have tried punishment reward, just saying pass and its ok. Now in highschool, he was given an iep but still in algebra 1 (a retake from last year, in 8th gr. with a c) Has tutoring 2 days a week and when he starts to do weel in math then the other subjects take a hit. I feel I am losing him. I go to the school conference and am told hes a good kid he'll be ok, But at home he melts down and cries ( at 14) that hes not good enough. What do we do now. I reached out to the counselor at school and she says she is only for personal probs. I should go directly to the teachers, which I have attempted with some satisfaction, to be told hes a good kid!!! In the meantime his confidence is in the toilet and I forsee some problems. I don't want to lose him now!
Hi notamathmom!
I think you're doing a good job. Your son knows that you're paying attention, that you're trying to support him, and that you get That this is hard. 9th grade transitions are really hard. And what often looks like disengagement, is actually fear. Stay in tough with the teachers, and try to stay positive.
You didn't mention if he has an IEP or a 504, So I'm assuming this is the case. Is there anyway you could lighten the load in his other classes? Can he drop something? Is he getting enough exercise and positive social interaction? You might also check with the doctor to find out if he's struggling with anxiety or depression.
Obviously I don't know your kid or all the details of the situation, but these are a few of the things that I've seen other moms do. Most importantly, take care of yourself. It's not easy being a mom to an adolescent, and you need something that renews you as well.
Let us know what happens, okay?
Hi notamathmom!
Algebra is interesting developmentally speaking. Sometimes kids aren't ready for the abstraction algebra takes, (Their brains are still developing) and making sure they have good, concrete examples of why algebra is important and associating the problem with real life makes it easier. There's also Khan Academy, where he can see lessons at his own speed (since sometimes I've found math teachers can go quickly and if you lose a step, you can be a goner!)
Another "alternative" suggestion is that there are a group of books by Paula Pondstone and a math teacher called "Math with a Laugh" http://www.amazon.com/Venn-Can-Friends-Skill-Building-Activities/dp/0325... that have great problems with a humor bent that just makes getting the math down a whole lot more fun.
I also have used some of the iPad apps available to help support and "study" for algebra with my kids. Algebra Touch is one. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/algebra-touch/id384354262
My son was having issues balancing algebra with all his other classes in middle school, so we pulled him out and he then got all A's in the lower class, and has done better every since- he just wasn't ready. This of course, does not rule out that your son could have a math issue (dyscalculia, or maybe handwriting issues complicate keeping numbers lined up, underlying math fact weakness, ADHD so he may have a tendency to try to skip steps, etc.) associated with a learning disability, but often finding a way to scaffold the skills a bit more or find another way to get at them helps. Sometimes math can just seem so abstract, the closer you can get it to reality, the better for kids who are having a hard time grasping it.
(I know I was one of those kids who would say 'it seems dumb to have to reprove the Pythagorean theorem - he did it several thousand years ago, and I'm happy to take him at his word" not realizing the bigger point was to teach us logic as well as basic geometry principles that are helpful in everything from framing a picture to buying carpet, to name just a few- but once I got in my own way, the learning became more difficult.)

Saint Leo, Fla. (August 8, 2006) - The SLU women's soccer team and first-year head coach Ged O'Connor was picked third in the 2006 SSC Women's Soccer Pre-Season Poll released today. Defending champion Tampa was picked to repeat, while last year's runner-up, Barry University, was second. The Lions women's soccer team matched its highest ever finish a season ago when it went 5-2-1 in league play, which was good for third-place.
Voting for the SSC pre-season polls was conducted among the league's head coaches and sports information directors.
The SLU men's and women's soccer teams both open their 2006 campaigns on Thursday, August 24. The men will host Briar Cliff University at University Field, while the women will travel to St. Petersburg, Fla. to face Eckerd College in a non-conference encounter. Both matches will kick off at 7:00 p.m.
