Posted Sat 15 Oct 16 at 17:06 PM
Report: Mansfield 1-1 Wycombe
Wanderers were denied a first away win by Matt Green's late leveller at the One Call Stadium.
Matt Bloomfield capped the visitors' first-half dominance with a tidy finish from Paul Hayes's assist but the introduction of Green from the bench at half-time was the catalyst for the Stags' revival towards the end.
Gareth Ainsworth made two changes in personnel from the side that lost 1-0 at Yeovil in their last outing, and that also prompted a tactical change to 4-3-3 with Matt Bloomfield coming into the midfield while Adebayo Akinfenwa joined Paul Hayes and Paris Cowan-Hall in attack.
Mansfield were forced to leave star striker Matt Green on the bench due to illness, while September's player of the month Jamie McGuire was sidelined after suffering a nasty reaction to a leg injury in midweek.
Cowan-Hall burst into the box to win a corner in the opening minute as he and Akinfenwa showed good awareness to create the opening, while Dominic Gape had the ball nicked off his toes and Matt Bloomfield couldn't quite stretch to send a header goalwards as the Wanderers' attacking movement caused problems for the home defence.
Then it was the visiting backline which was breached when Anthony Stewart bravely won a tackle only for the ball to land kindly for Danny Rose, who played the ball through for Pat Hoban to bear down on goal. The forward took the ball past Jamal Blackman but his strike couldn't beat the covering Danny Rowe, who'd raced back to make a vital clearance from within the six-yard box.
Mansfield enjoyed a bright spell before Gape forced an important save from Scott Shearer in the Mansfield goal, rifling a clean hit towards goal after the hosts had struggled to clear a spell of head tennis inside the area.
Another opportunity presented itself moments later, this time to Cowan-Hall, who slid in at the back post to meet Paul Hayes's clever cross but couldn't quite get his foot around the ball to hit the net, instead turning it inches wide.
But the pressure ultimately paid off midway through the first half when Matt Bloomfield put the Bleus ahead, meeting Hayes's clever pass to run from deep and finish calmly past his old team-mate Shearer.
And the goal helped to put Wycombe right in the ascendancy, as they twice went close to doubling their lead through Akinfenwa. The 'Beast' headed over from Joe Jacobson's deep free-kick before finding the target with a back-post header, only to see Shearer produce a fine fingertip save to divert it away from the top corner.
The Stags gradually improved as the half neared its conclusion and came close when Danny Rose lashed wide of the near-post from a promising position just outside the box, before Krystian Pearce collected the first card of the game for chopping down Cowan-Hall.
There was just time for a long-range effort from Danny Rowe to fly over the bar before the half-time whistle, which was met with discontent from the home fans who'd seen their side outplayed for much of the opening period.
Boss Adam Murray reacted by making a double change at the break, introducing Matt Green and Jack Thomas for Danny Rose and Oscar Gobern, and the hosts showed signs of improvement, although Wanderers retained their threat in attack and looked to be in control of their advantage.
Green and Rhys Bennett both missed the target with opportunities from set-pieces before the game entered a scrappy spell with both midfields cancelling each other out.
Mansfield introduced their final sub midway through the second half, with Darius Henderson taking the place of Pat Hoban in attack, before Mal Benning drilled a long-range effort just high and wide with Blackman reasonably calm at seeing it whistle into the stand.
The keeper was called upon to tip behind a more precise effort from Benning moments later, before Krystian Pearce headed wide from the resulting corner, while Gareth Ainsworth made his first change on 77 minutes with the introduction of Garry Thompson for Paul Hayes.
But the next action came at the other end, and it was a valuable contribution from that man Green who smashed home the equaliser on 83 minutes after a route one approach paid off from the hosts. A long ball from Benning was flicked down and the Stags' hero was in the right place to blast it home on the half volley.
All of a sudden Mansfield had burst to life and the game developed an edge, with the hosts arguably looking the more likely to go on and win it. Mal Benning came close with a free-kick and then a piledriver into the side netting, while Wycombe responded by bringing on Sam Wood for Matt Bloomfield for the four minutes of stoppage time.
And those final few moments were packed with drama, with both sides going close to snatching all three points. Firstly Anthony Stewart headed into the side netting from Jacobson's corner before Darius Henderson was denied by a miraculous full-length save from Jamal Blackman at the other end.
Then Wanderers were livid when Dominic Gape broke free only to be punished for an apparent foul, leaving Ainsworth perplexed with the latest of odd decisions on a day when the Blues may feel it was a case of 'two points dropped' after leading for much of the game.
Wycombe: Blackman, Harriman, Jacobson, Stewart, Pierre, Rowe, Gape, Bloomfield (Wood 90), Cowan-Hall, Hayes (Thompson 77), Akinfenwa.
Unused subs: Richardson, Jombati, Bean, Weston, Freeman.
Mansfield: Shearer, Bennett, Benning, Pearce, Howkins, Collins, Clements, M. Rose, Gobern (Thomas 45), D. Rose (Green 45), Hoban (Henderso 67).
Unused subs: Jensen, Hurst, Hamilton, Hemmings.

The Interview: Chris Barrett, Part I
By Miles Vining
Since the company's inception in the 1980s, Barrett Firearms has made leaps and bounds from the former garage that Ronnie Barrett used to make the first M82 anti material rifles. Today the company is expanding into the AR market, machine guns, and precision rifles with their MRAD design. Taking that momentum into the 21st Century is Christopher Barrett, the current president of the company. Chris was kind enough to sit down with SAR as we interviewed him about his history with the company, and where he wants the company to go in the near future.
SAR: Were you involved with Barrett Firearms from the beginning?
Chris: My earliest memories were of my dad shooting, and his firearms interests. He had machine guns in the 1980s, was a big time hobbyist, always shooting in sub-gun matches. He just had the coolest things in the world to a little boy. I've always been a part of the culture of this industry. I was around four years old when dad really came out with the company in 1982. I was shooting at a very young age, which a lot of people might not agree with these days, but it came naturally to our family. It helped make me the shooter I am today, and also helps with the designing aspect. I mean, people who actually shoot a lot, can identify what works and what doesn't, and we put that into our designs. You could call it the Barrett "DNA" of the company, a lot of us are shooters, and we use the products we make. As an example, we don't make submachine guns, but we still learn things from them that we can put into our other designs. If you are always in tune with that sort of thing, it makes you a good designer.
SAR: How did the company develop, throughout its history?
CHRIS: Well we started with the garage years, we lived in two different houses, with two different garages that dad was putting the rifles together in. The first house was in downtown Murfreesboro, and it was...

Searching high and low for the perfect curry, Janelle at Talk of Tomatoes has settled upon this recipe to fill her trustworthy spot of "default dinner." We added an additional slight tweak to make it a dairy-free delight.
"What I loved about this curry? EASY to make, and you start with just chicken and can add/or not whatever veggies slide your way (which is great for picky kiddos):"
- Chicken tenders
- Olive oil
- Butter alternative
- 2 T Pataks Curry Paste
- ¾ cup vermouth
- 1 T curry powder
- 1 small jar major gray chutney (this makes it a little spicy)
- 2 T sour cream alternative (from Galaxy Foods or Tofutti)
Sautee chicken, mix in paste. Remove chicken; deglaze with vermouth or chicken broth, simmer 10 minutes. Add chicken, 1 T curry powder, chutney and simmer. Off heat and stir in 2 T sour cream.
Optional add-ons: garlic, potatoes, coconut milk, green beans, salt and pepper, cilantro.
My tweak: Trader Joe's has this frozen bag of organic green vegetables called Greens with Envy (edamame, spinach, asparagus tips, peas, green beans, broccoli) that I defrost with lukewarm water in a strainer, then add to the curry in the last few minutes just enough to warm them. I love all the green in there, it adds such a nice color and freshness. Or green beans on the side is great, especially if your kids need them 'separated.' No worries if you don't have Trader Joe's (whimper, sniff): last I checked, most grocers carry greens!

Echoes From the Past pt.3
Washington, D.C., United States
January 8, 2010
1000 hours
Agent Mary Cohen had never quite gotten used to having blonde hair. She would never admit it to anyone, of course, because all of her current acquaintances knew her to have always been blonde – Mary had done a wonderful job with the dye, if she did say so herself – and all of her old acquaintances were the reason she had dyed her hair in the first place.
Mary had learned over the years to avoid mirrors, but, driving in the small rental car up the ramp to the parking lot of the Washington D.C. Hampton Inn, she couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror.
Her eyes were still the same deep brown, her lashes still inexplicably black and unbelievably long. Her skin was still the same caramel, dark in contrast to her white dress shirt, lips still a vibrant red even without lipstick. Mary could almost believe she was her old self until a curly strand of hair was blown from her orderly ponytail and into her line of vision, shockingly fair.
Mary parked her tiny silver Toyota and slid out of it, slamming the driver's side door shut behind her.
It was a cool morning, slightly overcast and drizzling lightly. The Hampton loomed dismally above her, a hideous combination of slightly modern architecture and classic-style painting, its sign only half lit, penetrating the thin fog dimly. At the bottom of the ramp that Mary had driven up was a thin road, laden with rush-hour traffic full of early-morning commuters, all of them yelling and honking indignantly at the car in front of them.
Mary thought the sounds a bit like a forgotten melody, welcome after years of living and working in Israel.
She walked a few steps around the car and pulled open the rear door, stepping sideways easily in her five-inch heels to avoid it. She grabbed a bland-looking stainless steel briefcase from the faux-leather seat, checked the locks on it just to be sure they were still secure, and locked the car behind her.
She was blasted by warm air upon walking through the automatic doors to the hotel lobby, more of her hair coming free of the tie that held it. Mary forced herself to ignore it and keep walking, sashaying her hips subtly in the way that she was prone to doing. She came up to the counter and leant against it, a polite smile tugging at her lips.
"Hi," she said, startling the concierge out of his texting-induced stupor. The boy put down his phone and looked up as if taxed by the very fact that he had something to do.
"Hello, miss," he droned. "Welcome to the Hampton."
"I have a reservation," she said, simply for the sake of testing her practiced American accent one last time before having to use it seriously. "Mandy Smith. Two nights, I think."
The concierge dropped his finger on his keyboard a few times until he found her reservation. "Yeah, right here," he pushed his chair back so he could pull out a drawer right in front of him and rummaged around for a key. "Room 318," he handed the keycard to her and then pulled his phone out and flipped it open.
Mary quirked an eyebrow. "Thanks," she said flatly.
The bleary elevator music matched the general mood of the rainy day, and by the time Mary reached the third floor she was feeling thoroughly melancholy. She jammed the key into the slot on the door where it was indicated that the key should be inserted and eased the door open.
Once inside she calmly closed the door behind her and set the briefcase down by her feet, then grabbed her sleek black Smartphone from her inside suit pocket. She slid the rear panel cover off and thumbed a tiny red switch, watched the screen as it came to life with a quiet chime.
When she held up the phone in front of her the room was displayed in infrared imaging on the phone's tiny screen, all lifeless blues and greens. She examined the room like that for a moment and then flipped the infrared switch off and depressed a larger button. Mary moved slowly about the small hotel room with the lights left off, probing her phone into every inch of the place, sure to make sure that the provided hotel phone posed no problems.
She flicked the light switch, confident that the room wasn't bugged, casting the room in a harsh yellow light. She retrieved her briefcase and turned to enter the room again.
Mary stopped dead in her tracks.
"Maldita,"she swore, an Eastern European accent suddenly apparent in her voice. "Se ve lo mismo…"
She moved out into the room as if in a trance, her grip on the briefcase going so slack that the package fell to the ground with a hollow clunk. The Smartphone slipped form her hand onto the dull tan rug, and she vaguely registered the fact that she barely missed crushing it with her heel.
She stopped walking only when her knees were pressed against the bed, the hanging bedclothes brushing the exposed skin of her feet. Mary ran her hands over the pristine white blankets, her gaze unfocused and transfixed, tracing indiscernible, nonsensical patterns into the smooth surface. "Se ve lo mismo,"she repeated quietly to herself, her voice almost a whisper.
A single tear trickled from the corner of her eye, trailing a translucent streak of dark mascara along with it, and hung for a moment on her chin before wetting the collar of her shirt.
Mary made no move to wipe the tear away.
In that moment she was no longer Mary Cohen, blonde-haired flirty agent for the Israeli Mossad. In that moment she was no longer who she had chosen to be, no longer who she needed to be, but rather who she had never wanted to cease to be, who she had to struggle sometimes to remember she was.

Kaitlynn: Safe
I collapsed onto the floor, Zoe right next to me. The cold was closing in. All my hope was sucked out of my heart. A dementor glided toward me, and lowered his hood to kiss me.
"Kaitlynn...Kaitlynn.... Wake up are you okay?"
I opened my eyes to the whiteness of the Hospitalm Wing. Madam Pomprey stood over me, a glass of water in her hand.
"My Kaitlynn, you've been in the hospital wing two times in the week."
"What happened?" I muttered mostly to myself in a hoarse voice.
"The first night or the second night?"
"You were bitten by a basilisk Kaitlynn, you're lucky your even alive. Then, dementors."
"How did they get in the castle, Madam Pompfrey?"
"I don't know,b ut if my suspisions are true, The Chamber has been opened."
"What Chamber?"
"The Chamber of Secrets my dear, surely you being such an extrodinaryy witch would have read A History of Magic?"
"You mean the chamber's making this- happen?"
"Only the basilisk, darling, I have no idea what about the dementors."
"The walls of the castle should've thrown them off, right?"
"A wizard has let them, that's the only explaination. But why?"

The class of 2012 appears to be shunning humanities subjects in favour of those that will lead to more lucrative employment, an analysis of applications to Cambridge University this year shows.
Overall, applications have remained fairly buoyant despite the introduction of fees of £9,000 a year – with a 3 per cent rise in the number of state school applicants and no overall changes for UK students as a whole.
However, a closer analysis of the figures reveals a growth in maths and science applications – with engineering up as much as 12 per cent – while most of the humanities subjects have shown a drop.
"It would be very unfortunate if there were a utilitarian approach being adopted by students to choosing their university subjects," said Dr Geoff Parks, head of admissions at Cambridge University. "However, we will probably have to wait before we can say this is a trend."
He said the advice given to students should mirror the old adage "do well at a good university and do well at a subject you really enjoy". Almost all the science subjects showed a rise in applications while all the humanities recorded a drop, he added.
Academics around the country have warned of an anti-humanities bias in the new fees regime which comes into force in September.
There will still be scramble for places when students get their A-level results on Thursday, as there are about 100,000 more applicants than places despite a drop of 9 per cent from UK would-be undergraduates this summer. There are also 20,000 fewer places available as a result of the Government withdrawing extra places that had been on offer since the start of the recession.
Dr Parks also predicted that the Government would have to drop any idea of scrapping AS-level exams as a result of its planned A-level reforms. The consensus of opinion among academics and head teachers was against the idea of removing the exam taken by most young people at the end of the first year of the sixth form.
"If you don't have it, you could have students struggling for two years without realising they'd made a terrible mistake," he added.
Also, research showed that offers made to applicants based on their work post-16 were a more reliable indicator of their potential degree achievement than if they were based just on GCSE results.
Dr Parks also claimed that Michael Gove will have to delay the implementation of his reforms – scheduled for next September – because the current timetable is "unrealistic".
Meanwhile, a clampdown on grade inflation could cause the pass rate in some subjects to fall this year. Ofqual, the exams regulator, has told the exam board each grade at GCSE and A-level should be "roughly" the same as last year. However, subjects such as GCSE science, where the regulator has ordered the syllabus to be tightened up, could experience a fall in the pass rate.
As a result of Ofqual's policy, thousands of schools expecting improved results – particularly in maths and English at GCSE – are likely to be disappointed, head teachers' leaders warned.

Brandon Lopez Solo & Trio
The Few & In The Sea w/Tristan Honsiger
Tristan Honsinger started improvising in Montreal more than forty years ago, prior to his decisive move to Europe, where he's been at the centre of improvised music activity ever since. With his two Montreal-based counterparts here, this group represents an oblique sort of homecoming. Their rapport is obvious, the results a satisfying mixture of musical empathy and creative conflict. Tristan plays with characteristic daring from his reserves of readymade tune fragments and shards of poetry, heading straight into the protean unknown that is the foundation for the best group improvising. Josh Zubot and Nicolas Caloia don't merely follow him there, but provoke him – and each other – in ways that are by turns, subtle, assertive, and irreverent. The Few opens - a Chicago-based string trio that should provide the perfect counterpoint to In The Sea.
Fred Lonberg-Holm's Lightbox Orchestra
Prolific improviser and cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm returns to Elastic Arts for what's become a yearly incarnation of his Lightbox Orchetra, a game-piece style instant composition where he calls the shots for a group of ten improvisers using a cuing system consisting of his homemade "lightbox" and a series of written instructions that he holds up for one or more participants.
Melodic, abstract, mysterious, beautiful, and confrontational, Kaze plays free jazz at its most creative and powerful. The members of this international quartet share an insatiable appetite for sonic experimentation, boundless energy and enthusiasm, and the disciplined intelligence of accomplished spontaneous composers. The group has released three acclaimed recordings - 2011's Rafale, 2013's Tornado, and 2015's Uminari which the London Jazz News calls "...bold, uncompromising music." Uminari is a Japanese word that refers to a sound rising from the sea, a low-frequency roar that portends a coming storm or tsunami. The two-horn quartet is equally adept at the calm and the storm, with expressive subtleties giving way to overwhelming torrents of sound.
Tatsuya Nakatani's Gong Orchestra
Percussionist and road warrior Tatsuya Nakatani brings his renowned gong orchestra back to the Elastic Arts stage for the first time since 2012. This one-of-a-kind project is the only bowing Gong Orchestra in existence in the world today, and is dedicated towards continuous, growing community engagement. The rich harmonies produced from multiple layers of bowed gongs are transformative, engaging and inspiring for both players and audiences. Nakatani began germinating ideas for N.G.O. in early 2002, and finally took the project on the road in April 2011. Since then he has performed over 100 concerts with N.G.O. internationally. Notable venues include John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C., MOCA Cleveland, OH, Tigertail Productions presented at Miami Dade County Auditorium in FL, Bemis Contemporary Art Center in Omaha NE, Columbia Museum of Art in SC, The Issue Project Room in New York City, and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Arkansas. N.G.O. has also been a visiting artist conducting workshops at a number of universities; including the University of Illinois, Smith College, Ohio State University and Wesleyan. The gong bows and surrounding instrumentation equipment are handmade by Nakatani Kobo.
Frode Gjerstad Trio w/Steve Swell
This legendary Norwegian trio, featuring a cross-generational collaboration of some of the brightest lights from the Scandinavian scene, returns to the Elastic Arts stage, this time with a twist. They'll be joined for their fall US Tour by New York trombonist Steve Swell, an apt counter voice to Gjerstad in the band's front line.
Jacob Wick Solo & With Special Guests
Jacob Wick is a trumpet player and improviser. Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, Wick has lived in Brooklyn, Oakland, and Los Angeles, and has performed with a variety of improvisers and composers in a variety of contexts, including at the Whitney Museum of American Art (US), the Moers Jazz Festival (DE), and el Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MX). He has performed with Toshimaru Nakamura, Bonnie Jones, Katherine Young, Andrew D'Angelo, Josh Roseman, and many others. He has released recordings on Prom Night Records (Brooklyn, NY), Peira (Chicago, IL), Diatribe (Dublin, IE), and Creative Sources (Lisbon, PT). He holds a BM from Purchase College, SUNY, and an MFA from the California College of the Arts. In performance, Wick works to privilege the perspective, experience, and expressive capacities of ambient non-human actors—air ducts, airplanes, birds, cement—over his own experience as a white, cis, American male. This approach is indebted to a wild commitment to queer politics and years of cruising contemporary and 20th century art and/or life theories. Tonight, he'll present a solo set, and then a collaboration with several long-time Chicago counterparts.
This powerful transatlantic trio returns to Chicago for the first time since 2014, celebrating the release earlier this year of their seventh recording, Slag, for Aerophonic Records. The band first came together at a closed session in 2009, and as any fan of improvised music can imagine, the band hit hard from the first note and hasn't looked back since. The unabashed energy of Rempis and Nilssen-Love, coupled with the electrified cello antics of Lonberg-Holm, make for a powerful listening experience that combines driving grooves with noisy textures and occasional melodic interjections. These sliding and overlapping rhythms often give the music a feeling as if a rug is slowly being pulled out from underneath the listener while the music still maintains a strong forward momentum. Reference points include the Julius Hemphill groups of the 70's and 80's featuring Abdul Wadud, Ornette Coleman's Prime Time, and the early 70's explorations of Miles Davis' electric bands. This date kicks off a fourteen concert North American tour for the band.

Fujiwara Shou
Miyako dozed as her English teacher droned on about the importance of word order in the English language. She couldn't wait for the bell to ring so that she could move on to a more interesting class. There was a knock on the door.
The new boy entered the classroom. He was tall and well built, his hair falling in his face. He looked like trouble.
"Class, this is Fujiwara Shou. He has transferred from another school. Miyako-san, who sits in the seat next to you?"
Miyako was sure somebody sat there. She never remembered having fun in this class at some point in time, but when? With who? People left the school mysteriously all the time, probably because of the dream. Once they were gone you had a vague feeling that something wasn't right, but you couldn't remember who they were, or what had happened to them.
"No one sits there, Sensei."
"Please have a seat in that empty place, Shou-kun."
Shou meandered over to the chair, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment. He didn't seem to like getting attention from people. After taking his seat, Shou extracted a notebook from his bag and placed it between himself and Miyako. Shou glanced up to make sure the teacher wasn't looking before scrawling a note on the paper.
"You are Miyako-san?"
Miyako looked at the note and nodded. Shou picked up his pencil again and began to write.
"You already know, but I am Shou. I need to get out of here."
"This place is evil."
Miyako frowned at this, not sure she understood. She thought about what he could have meant and realized that Shou was referring to the Dream.
"You mean the Dream?"
"Yes. I don't want them taking my soul. I need to escape."
"We aren't supposed to talk about this."
"I'll talk to you again later, behind the gym. There will be less proof that this conversation ever took place."
"Maybe, but if I think someone is watching, then I won't go."
Shou nodded and ripped the sheet of paper out his notebook. He crumpled it up and shredded it delicately with his fingers. All the while he kept his eyes on the teacher to make sure he wasn't looking in their direction. He knocked the little pieces onto the floor and stepped on them a few times with his foot before appearing satisfied with their destruction. Shou smiled sweetly at Miyako before turning his head to look out the window.
The appearance of this strange new student had brought about more questions than answers, but Miyako was determined to find out what was going on. She would meet Shou behind the gym and he had better have a good explanation for all the nonsense he was spouting.

Chapter 1 (2)Mature
Suddenly, all the guards in the village began to run up to the castle, wielding their large weapons. I could hear people screaming from inside the castle and the people in the village began to run out into the forest. They were running out with what they could carry, food, cans and clothes, some tripped and fell, getting ran over and left behind by their families. I tried to help them up, but they shook in fear and, even though they were wounded, they ran off to find their families.
I bit my lip and ran back to the castle as fast as I could. I was halfway to the castle when a large blue horse blocked my way, on the horse was a bulky, male, water element. He was wearing fire proof armor, I fell down, startled.
The water element smirked at me and whistled. Two more water elements on horses came out and captured me in a fire proof net. "Father! Father help me!" I yelled out, but got no answer. The water element chuckled and yanked the net, making me fall on my back and look at the castle. I could see smoke and coming from the windows, it was quiet and I could tell that there had been a battle and we had lost. Flames rose from my eyes, I growled in anger and shot fire from my palms. The head water element yelled and hit me over the head with his fist, knocking me out.

By Tracey Wong Briggs, USA TODAY
Professor Rosemary Karr constantly challenges the perception that math is something to be feared.
People think it's OK to say "I've never been good at math," says Karr, who teaches at Collin County Community College in Plano, Texas. But "if I were to tell you, 'I can't read,' or 'I can't write,' are you going to be laughing? Why is it socially acceptable to say, 'I can't do math'? "
Karr, who will be honored today in Washington, D.C., as community college professor of the year, has spent much of her career demystifying mathematics for remedial students. "At the developmental level, you see increased frustration, and that's something I'm good at, helping students to relax a little bit more and see the fun of mathematics, and not just see math as something to torture people," she says.
She uses clips from movies such as Cast Away and Little Big League to introduce math concepts in a non-threatening way and has a knack for analogies that build understanding. Untangling algebraic equations, for example, is like taking off shoes before socks and socks before pants.
Karr left a tenured position at Eastern Kentucky University in 1989 when her husband was transferred to Plano. At Collin, she started working with remedial students and found that helping students get over their fears of math at the developmental level went a long way toward setting them up for success.
'The world has gone quantitative'
Developmental math isn't the most prestigious sector of higher education, but it's a large and challenging one, especially for community colleges.
A 2005 survey by the Conference Board of Mathematical Sciences, released in July, shows that almost half of all undergraduates taking math (48%) were at two-year colleges, and 57% of the two-year college math and statistics enrollment was "pre-college," or developmental. That remedial percentage hasn't budged more than a point since 1990 in the CBMS survey, taken every five years.
And longitudinal data of traditional-age students from the U.S. Department of Education published in 2004 found that out of all undergraduate courses taken, developmental math had the highest proportion of failing or no-credit repeat grades (14.2%) and was No. 4 among most-withdrawn-from courses (20.8%), behind three other math courses. The same data showed that students passing at least one college-level math course were far more likely to earn either an associate or bachelor's degree, says research analyst Clifford Adelman, now a senior associate at the Institute for Higher Education Policy.
"The world has gone quantitative," Adelman says. "You are surrounded by a world of numbers and formulas, and you've got to use them and feel comfortable with them."
But Karr's students, both traditional age and returning adults, are usually afraid of math, or they just don't like it. The key, she has found, is to meet students where they are. Because math concepts build on each other, she says, a lot of developmental math is figuring out where the misconceptions and gaps are — the places where students have memorized "X" without understanding why.
"She always approached it as a 'why?' Why does it work this way, or why would this make a difference?" recalls Andrea Hornedo, 38, a graduate student who credits Karr for helping her whole class get over its math fear. "There were no dumb questions. A lot of people say that, but she meant it."
Apply for a math Passport
Karr gives lectures on overcoming math anxiety and has developed several successful approaches. And she has spent the past several years refining the Developmental Mathematics "Passport" program, which she piloted back in 2002.
Team-taught by two to four professors, the Passport program is self-paced. The bulk of the class time is carved into 20-minute blocks, with each professor teaching a different concept in each block.
In a typical class, each professor teaches four lessons: a catch-up topic, two normal-paced lessons and one more advanced topic. Karr, teaching mainly beginning and intermediate algebra, incorporates PowerPoints, puzzles and group problem-solving into her lessons, which range from adding fractions to quadratic equations that aren't factorable. Students gauge how well they understood the lessons at exit briefings.
"For an experienced teacher, it doesn't take long to know what a student's weaknesses are," Karr says. "We can offer a lecture that's outside the scope of that class just to plug in the holes they might have from their background."
In the first Passport class, one student whipped through algebra but stalled at factoring, Karr recalls. "He spent three weeks on factoring. And then he finished the rest of the course with very high grades, because once he understood the factoring, he could do the rational expressions and equations with no trouble. But without the factoring, he couldn't move any farther."
In tracking Passport students for a year, Karr found that 53% took and passed college-level algebra, compared with 35% of developmental math students in traditional lectures, a 51% difference.
But for all the success she has had in developmental math, it's just part of the spectrum of helping people that makes teaching at any level worthwhile to Karr, president-elect of the National Association for Developmental Education.
"I think we all need to consider that all of us are developmental in some way," she says. "As a teacher, I need to do the best I can for them, so they can do the best they can at something else."

I used to really love feel unique, I ordered this product because I had an email about a free gift with decleor purchases. I couldn't see anywhere to input the code so ended up not getting the free gift that I really wanted to try. When I emailed feel unique the response I got was curt to say the least. Won't be buying from feel unique again because of that which is a shame.

Fairhaven College, Western Washington University
In the wake "of a system of racial caste only recently ended," large disparities endure. Unemployment, poverty, and access to health care vary disproportionately by race. Neighborhoods and schools remain racially divided. African-American and Hispanic children are all too often educated in poverty-stricken and underperforming institutions . . . -Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg [1]
It should be no secret that racism exists in this country and in the classroom. Yet despite attention to this phenomenon in the work of writers such as Justice Ginsburg and Jonathan Kozol, [2]I am continually dismayed by the lack of acknowledgement that racism plays a large role in the academic underperformance of many students of color. My observations of the dynamics in my classes show that racism continues to taint the educational experience of students.
I teach in the undergraduate Law and Diversity Program at Fairhaven College, Western Washington University. This two-year program for the junior and senior years of college aims to increase access to law school and the legal system for underrepresented communities. We provide extensive individual support for the whole identity of our students, including providing time and space for students to discuss their lives outside of the academic experience.
As might be expected, racism is a frequent topic of conversation. We discuss how factors such as lack of academic preparation, lack of encouragement, lack of knowledge about how the educational system works (including admissions and scholarships), and underachievement on tests all contribute to narrowing the pool of possible applicants of color to college. I have come to realize that in addition to these well-known factors, there is one that does not get the attention it deserves: lack of energy.
Quite simply, students of color have to spend much of their energy on racism in one form or another, and white students have that same energy to spend on education. If one's time is taken up either responding to racist statements or behaviors-- or anticipating that these things might occur-- one does not have as much energy to put elsewhere.
There is an easy way to demonstrate the truth of this proposition. Any teacher who has had a class where the issue of race comes up and a white student is challenged or called a racist will remember the amount of time and feather smoothing required in dealing with the white student afterwards.
I happen to be white and I suspect white students are more likely to come see me than professors of color when these incidents occur. I recognize this as another instance of my white privilege, [3] where white students assume I am "trustworthy" and will tell me what they are actually thinking.
"I feel silenced," says the white student. "I do not feel safe. I do not want to come to class." If one comment can upset a white student so much that it impacts the student's educational experience, imagine what a lifetime as a student of color hearing these comments could do to the student's focus.
My students of color routinely report hearing racist comments from grade school on, including from their instructors. For example, one Native American student who was Nooksack (a Pacific Northwest tribe) related that when she was in grade school, her teacher "taught" about Indians—which really meant teaching about the Plains tribes. The teacher asked my student (the only Native American in the class) if she had ever ridden a horse. Because Pacific Northwest tribes did not ride horses, the student unsurprisingly said "no." To which the white teacher responded, "It's too bad that there are no real Indians left."
One of my African-American students told of being in grade school and competing in a writing contest. A white student told her she would not win because she was black. While this has provided motivation in my student's educational experience to prove the other student wrong, it also serves as one more voice in the background to make her doubt herself. Coupled with often being the only student of color in her college classes, and never having a class from a black professor until she was a senior, the mental and emotional energy this student expended on awareness of being a person of color was significant. White students, imbued with white privilege and the lack of pressure that flows from it, could put this energy toward their education.
White students also get to learn in an educational system that is still predominantly taught by other white people. [4] This creates a level of comfort for white students that might not exist for students of color. While many white teachers are doing great work, racism still exists in the classroom, however unconscious.
The following example illustrates how even well-meaning teachers may damage the academic experience of students of color. At Western Washington University each summer the Political Science Department puts on a week long series of lectures, attended mostly by high school teachers looking to increase their knowledge of politics. The summer I attended, the teachers received one lecture from a faculty member of color who had them fill out a short questionnaire (that they did not turn in) with questions such as, "Do you believe that your race has ever been an advantage for you?" and "do you believe that your race has ever been a disadvantage for you?"
Several teachers immediately complained that the questions were "biased." The discussion veered toward race in the classroom. Many of the (what appeared to be) all white teachers felt that students of color used race as an excuse. One white teacher shared his "solution" to this "problem" proudly: "I don't allow race in my classroom."
Not one teacher took issue with this staggering statement, and most seemed to be nodding along. How can one not "allow" race in a classroom? By telling students of color that their experiences do not exist? [5]
In fact, race needs to exist more, not less in classrooms. We need to talk about the effects of racism in this country, the rac-ing of people in general, and affirm the positive and plentiful contributions of all cultures to this country.
As a teacher, it can be a daunting task to respond to the racism some of the students may have already encountered. My message to the students is, "Trust me enough to tell me where you need help." And often they do, despite having been made to stand in for their entire race, having been called "stupid" by their instructors and having been told by their classmates they cannot succeed because of their color. But to get to that point I have to experience lots of rejection ("You're white, you'll never understand me") and challenging ("You do not know what my life is really like and you could not deal with it if you did"), and spend many hours with students whose armor is impressively thick ("I'm fine and I don't need you").
The students are right: I am white, I will never fully understand their experience, and they do not need me to live successful and fulfilling lives. [6] But they do need someone who will help build their academic skills, which means the person has to know where they need help, which means the students have to trust the person, which means all of these issues need to be dealt with before we can get to academic performance issues.
In any case, if the students test me and my trustworthiness for a quarter, or a year, or several years, that is to be expected. It is sometimes hard not to take it personally ("I'm the one who is trying to help you!"), but if I really am there to help, I have to recognize that their timeline-- not mine-- is what is important. The amazing thing is not how much rejection I receive, but how little rejection I receive from students who have had horrible experiences in the academic environment.
It can be hard to receive rejection. Unfortunately, many white people who say they want to help with the issue of diversity are not able to weather any rejection. Often unconsciously, the person is looking for gratitude and concrete proof that they have changed the student's life. They tend to become hurt and discouraged at the first sign of challenge or rejection ("I don't have to be doing this! I'm one of the good guys, and if you're going to treat me like this, I'm out of here!"). And this, of course, leads to an unsuccessful interaction for all concerned.
Though racism is not an easy subject for most people (at least white people) to talk about, it can be done in a classroom. First, we can admit it exists. Second, we can admit it might exist in the lives of our students, both white students (who have white privilege) and students of color.
One example of this approach occurred in a class I was teaching on Power, Privilege and Law. We read an article on white privilege by Peggy McIntosh that contained a list of ways in which white privilege specifically benefited her. [7] One student immediately offered, "I'm not white, I'm Irish." To her, this meant that she was not partaking of white privilege.
This remark led to a discussion of what it meant to be white and what it meant to receive privilege on being, at the very least, perceived to be white. I asked the woman if she had ever suffered discrimination due to being Irish, such as being stopped at the border, or racially profiled by the police. She indicated that she had not. I then asked a student who identified as Native American if he had suffered these types of events, and he related incidents where he felt he had.
Next the woman indicated that she was part of an immigrant population because her ancestors had come from Ireland. I asked a woman from Eritrea to describe some of her experiences coming to the United States as an immigrant. The Eritrean woman's first-hand experience as an immigrant had clearly shaped much of her life experience.
As might be imagined, this was a charged conversation. It was important to keep participating in the conversation, to not run away from it, to "allow" race in the classroom. To keep the conversation moving without picking on one student, I moved to another student who identified as heterosexual. Part of the McIntosh article dealt with heterosexual privilege so I asked the student if he had ever experienced privilege from being straight. He indicated he had.
What happened next was unexpected: a number of the students jumped into the conversation, accusing me of picking on "the straight white male." I, of course, had said nothing about the student's gender or race; I had only asked about his heterosexual privilege. Yet "straight-white-male" came out almost as one word as perceived by the students. By even asking a straight white male (as the student had previously self-identified) a question about heterosexual privilege, I was assumed to be attacking him on race and gender grounds as well. This is a dangerous assumption-- that posing a question is automatically an "attack"-- one that needs to be addressed when discussing these sensitive issues.
The student then described having a bartending job where the owner had told him to kick out any gay people. The student went on to say that, based on the owner's beliefs, it was no accident that the owner put black people as bouncers because, according to the owner, "white people are afraid of black people." The owner also would not put black people at the till ("because they cannot be trusted with money").
I asked the student if he should have quit his job because it was such a homophobic and racist situation. The other students jumped in again to state that it was an unfair question because "he needed to make money to live." I tried, unsuccessfully, to make the point that this was how unions had historically tried to keep out women and people of color. We wrestled with the question of whether the student should have kept the job, the other students insisting that it was not a fair expectation. I volunteered that I did not know what I would have done in the situation.
This day was not an easy one. But it was one of the most important days of the quarter. We tried to connect the theoretical to the concrete, the hypothetical to the real-life scenario. We saw not just the racism that exists and the differences in life experiences, but we even saw the difficulty many white people have around giving up white privilege and why. It was one of the most intense and difficult teaching situations I have yet faced, but in moving towards the discussion of race rather than away from it, it led to a plethora of teachable moments.
Predictably, the student who identified as Irish came to see me. It can be difficult to learn about white privilege and think that one may enjoy a benefit from it. We discussed how having privilege does not mean one cannot be oppressed in other ways, nor does it guarantee a wonderful life.
I also tried to assure her that it did not mean that the other students did not like her. For the first time, the student had to spend energy on the concept of racism and how it impacted her academic experience. Students who do not have white privilege have, of course, had to deal with the energy output this requires well before that point in their education.
The concept of race (however unfounded) exists, as does racism. We need to talk about this. We need to let our students talk about it. If we are afraid to acknowledge racism and its ramifications because we believe that students of color will "take advantage" of the system somehow, we are not allowing students of color to exist in the fullness of their beings. We are denying a crucial experience that many of our students are having. And by denying students of color the space to exist, we diminish the education of all of us. We pursue education to understand the world. The more we let the world into education, the more we all stand to gain.

5 Of course, white students have a race, too. But it was clear in the context of the teacher's remarks that he meant students of color.
6 Much of this discussion applies to faculty of color as well, who live their own unique life experiences. A student with dark colored skin raised in foster care might, indeed, not be understood by the faculty member of color with lighter skin who was raised by college educated parents.

Some of them are ridiculously vague. For example, "Status of relations between Afghanistan and its other neighbors," whatever that means. Some are at least theoretically measurable: "Volume and value of narcotics." Some have already been missed: "Afghan Government's... ability to hold credible elections in 2009 and 2010." Some are darkly humorous: "Development of an enduring, strategic partnership between the U.S. and Pakistan."
I don't know what to think about this. I just don't know. It's not like I'm against the idea of setting out specific goals and trying to measure how well we're achieving them. On the other hand, if you wanted to resurrect the ghost of Robert McNamara and convince everyone that Afghanistan is Vietnam 2.0, you could hardly do a better job than this list. I don't doubt for a second that McNamara had something exactly like it in 1965 when he was meeting with LBJ and the Joint Chiefs in the Oval Office.
Still, if I had to pick out the one thing that bothers me most about this plan, it's how implicitly utopian it is. We're not just trying to kill some terrorists here, we're apparently trying to turn both Pakistan and Afghanistan into thriving, peaceful, incorruptible, Westernized democracies. But that's a hundred-year project, and it's not something we've ever demonstrated much skill at. So what, exactly, makes us think we're going to be good at it this time around?

how the mind and negative experiences go into war with the love and wisdom that lies within
When serpents come
with flashing tongue
and crow with sharpened beak
my ears deceive and rebel
mind filled with vicious streak
OH ! Glory Glory to the mocking bird
Misleading vital bite
Saving grace played in third
Swaying calamities sight
When chaffer crawls under hardened skin
And perverseness defile ones heart
pungent stench left within
mouth erupting impudently
in blasphemous fart
OH! Glory Glory to the rays of laughter
Reflecting besieged assault
Mercy poured in seventh fold
destruction brought to halt
time will show strengthened mind
and concord dreams unwind
alongside ruling rivers
with spirits revitalized… defined

Blogging From: New York, New York
Wrapped up in a sweet, aesthetically pleasing little bow is a true find in the Mommy blogosphere. Momma's Gone City initially started as an intimate project from founder Jessica Shyba to journal New York City life with her children (for the benefit of family they left behind in California in a courageous move). Currently the blog is blossoming a popular portal for mommy advice, precious chronicles of Shyba's children as they conquer the concrete jungle from dance lessons and karate and finding the happy medium between mommyhood and staying self-fulfilled.
A tale of tackling two children in New York seems entertaining enough to track on your blogroll, but Shyba's recent joy, a third child, has her posts and adventures taking on a whole new set of challenges and triumphs. At the essence of Momma's Gone City is Shyba's own appreciation for the little things as she witnesses her children grow and change. It's a valuable lesson to all of her readers that provides a sense of joy. Most posts are accompanied with adorable photosets of her little ones that can make any heart warm.
Though a lot of topics are cheery, Shyba also tackles struggles like nut allergies, asthma, and planning a day filled with conflicting schedules that seems nearly impossible. The light at the end of the tunnel is that Jessica always seems to get it done, and always with a fabulous smile. The true upside to Momma's Gone City is the passion Jessica has for being a mom. It unintentionally inspires other moms to feel equally as involved and blessed with their children, no matter what life or the tribulations of city life may bring. Bonus points go to the marvelous giveaways that pop up every now and then in new posts. Be sure to check Momma's Gone City often! -- Melanie Baker

"I got these cards for my 2-year old son to pass out to his pre-school class and teachers and family members. They are beautifully printed on soft thick paper. I love the size, they are pretty small, but come with their own tiny envelopes! Very happy with my purchase."
"This is our second year ordering class valentines from Tiny Prints and we really like them They are adorably tiny, personalized and they really have designs for everyone. I just like for my daughter to have something other than the grocery store choice that everyone else has."
"This card was obviously perfect for my 5yo son, the one who loves to play at being a chivalrous knight, right down to calling Mama "my lady." Your Sir Adorable or Prince Charming, the one who kisses the girls or is there to play groom when they want to play wedding, will love a card that is sweetly romantic while still being kid-friendly--and BOY-friendly."
"I ordered these for my son to pass out on Valentine's Day at school. Adorable! So much better than the store bought Valentine's Day cards!"
"My daughter picked these valentines for her preshool class party. They were adorable and a big hit with her classmates as well as parents! Pretty colors,terrific quality."

The club
Unofficial motto
In lupinis vestimentis ovis
(Sheep in wolves' clothing). Big before you were born, they were the functional and effective only real rivals to the Busby Babes as Old Gold hoarded silver in the 1950s. Not so much sleeping giants as reposing ones over more than four decades of decline punctuated by the odd revival, the distressed aristocrats have been restored to the big house, in a downstairs capacity for now, by a chelping Yorkshire messiah with an accent that gives off more warmth than a two-scuttle fire.
The age of austerity
Buoyant in part thanks to the philanthropy of former owner Sir Jack Hayward who wrote off £50m debts when selling his beloved club to the Scouse construction tycoon Steve Morgan for £10 three years ago. By keeping the purse strings tighter than the Golden Tit's desperation for success managed to achieve, the new regime is a model of Osbornian famine-now-feast-later philosophy.
What they want
Another season of consolidation. More goals after scoring only 32 times in 2009-10 would help but on the whole they seem content with the Bolton model of establishing themselves as top-flight regulars without pushing their luck too much, too soon.
What they get
If the new strike partnership of Kevin Doyle and Steven Fletcher gels they should be content with pushing on from 15th to about 13th. Mick McCarthy carefully accumulated the sort of pros he respects to mask the frailties at the back and pick off less workmanlike sides such as Tottenham home and away again. The same recipe of 1-0s and 0-0s should see them safe.
The players
Coalition or opposition?
Broadly an Anglo-Irish alliance with a fair smattering of exoticism in the shape of Steven Mouyokolo, Ronald Zubar and Nenad Milijas. Work ethic abounds as do the short sleeves among the defiantly namby-pamby-free players that McCarthy has put together that would generally make a fine bunch of model 1960s sons-in-law.
Yoof of today
Ashley Hemmings is a left-winger or striker with a repertoire of tricks to compliment his dazzling pace. A prolific scorer at youth level, he might be the kind of maverick talent that has been all but excised from Wanderers' DNA in recent years.
Mr Wolves
Jody Craddock, veteran, stalwart, defensive colossus and enduring aerial threat, begins his eighth season at the club. Celebrated by the Molineux faithful with the charming couplet: "He used to be shite, now he's all right." An accomplished portrait artist who worships Rolf Harris.
Who should have his benefits cut?
Jelle Van Damme was signed from Anderlecht but is still the subject of an ongoing dispute with the Standard Liège defender Oguchi Onyewu who accused the left-back of calling him a "dirty monkey" during the 2008-09 season.
Everybody loves…
Michael Kightly, the sprightly winger whose debut Premier League season was ruined by injury. A late recruit from non-League he is thoroughly down to earth and is loved for his boundless enthusiasm.
The manager
Life and times
A blunt "seen it all before, sunshine" cop in the Andy Dalziel mould who has done well everywhere he's been until undermined by his bosses in previous incarnations with Ireland and Sunderland. A sweary father figure who could flog his aphorisms in lucrative "Shit My Dad Says" style.
Master tactician or lucky general?
Neither – he just works incredibly hard and puts his faith in those who share his Yorkshire philosophy that sweat and toil brings rewards. Very much a disciple of Jack Charlton with the emphasis on robustness and doing what the opposition centre-backs like least.
Regrets… he's had a few
Picking his reserves at Old Trafford and throwing away three points earned a £25,000 suspended fine but he seems unrepentant about blatantly prioritising games he thought he had a chance of winning while others trot out excuses.

Cunnilingus is a sexual practice included in oral sex. It is concerned with using the mouth, tongue and lips to turn on the female sex organs (clitoris, vulva and vagina). Through Cunnilingus, women can undergo an intense pleasure that allows them to reach the orgasm. The real protagonists of this sexual practice are the clitoris and the tongue, though other parts of the body and sex toys can also come into play.
The clitoris is the most sensitive part of a woman's body. Everything around it –the labia minora and the vaginal opening– is also a very erogenous zone. Due to its sensitivity, the intensity of stimulation can go from strength to strength.
Humming is a well-known variant of the Cunnilingus and is concerned with making a guttural sound with the throat to cause tickling in the vaginal mucus. Pleasure is thus enhanced.
Below are some advices for providing a nice Cunnilingus to a woman:
• Whenever engaging in oral sex, it is advisable to adopt a comfortable position that allows to maintain the pace. The well-known 69 position is often used, though there are many other positions as well.
• Before starting, it is recommended to arouse the area with gentle touches. These touches can be followed by kisses on the female genitals. After a certain degree of arousal has been attained, start stimulating with the mouth, tongue and lips. The options are endless from there.
• It is advised to gradually up the tempo and pressure.
• For the experience to be a pleasurable one for both, it is advisable to know the preferences of the woman receiving oral sex.
As far as the sexual health and cleanliness before engaging in oral sex are concerned, we must remember that:
• Hygiene is essential for both the female genitalia as well as the hands and mouth that stimulate it.
• The use of a female condom is advised.
• In the cases in which there is suspicion of any of the participants having any disease or when wounds on the mouth or private parts are seen, oral sex must not be practiced without protection.
You can find many escorts for Cunnilingus at La Suite Barcelona. Due to the degree of confidence and sensitivity that is needed for this sexual practice, not all the escorts are willing to provide it.
Given below are all the Cunnilingus-providing escorts at La Suite Barcelona. However, we advise you to follow the advice of our bordello's receptionist or talk it out with the escort herself once you have chosen her.
In order to make sure that the hygiene is all right, sex sessions at La Suite Barcelona start with an Erotic Shower and you will find personal and intimate hygiene products in all the rooms.

If you're still wondering why Google Chrome appears to be the main reason behind Internet Explorer's market share dropping under 60 per cent for the first time in 11 years this may help explain it...
Chrome's prolific developers have again pushed out yet another exciting build - this time 5.0.375.29 beta on Windows, Mac and Linux - which combines yet more features with even greater speed. How much speed? Up to 30 per cent in V8 benchmarking over the last Chrome beta (which is already faster than the current stable Chrome build) and up to 35 per cent faster in SunSpider benchmarks. For those keeping score, this equates to 213 per cent and 305 per cent boosts on V8 and Sunspider respectively since Chrome was first launched just 20 months ago.
In short: Chrome is once again by far the fastest page rendering browser available after Opera briefly dared to steal its title. Yes, you'll still be dependent on your Internet connection, but much less on your PC to render the page once the information is received. How fast can Chrome work in real terms? The video above is a pretty startling example.
On top of this is an expansion of bookmark sync which can now sync browser preferences (themes, homepage and startup settings, web content settings and language) across multiple machines. As promised by Google previously, Flash support is integrated directly into the browser meaning no need to download it separately plus automatic updates, better performance and it is sandboxed so Flash can't crash the browser even if it crashes itself.
HTML5 support gets improved too with support for Geolocation APIs, App Cache, web sockets and site wide drag and drop - as witnessed in microcosm previously with Gmail drag & drop attachment functionality which was added last month. Lastly extensions can now be used in the browser's incognito mode.
Chrome has almost tripled its market share in the last 10 months and I wouldn't expect that rate to drop off any time soon...

Italy closed its embassy in Libya on Sunday due to the worsening conflict there and stepped up its call for a UN mission to help calm the situation.
Libya is unravelling as a state with two rival governments operating their own armed forces under separate parliaments, nearly four years after the civil war that led to the overthrow and death of leader Muammar Gaddafi.
"The deteriorating situation in Libya made it necessary to close (the embassy)," Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni said in a statement. Embassy staff have been sent back to Italy by boat, the ministry said.
Intensifying violence in Libya, where Islamic State is also active, is particularly alarming to Italy because the two countries are separated only by a relatively narrow stretch of sea. Many migrants attempt the crossing from North Africa to Italy in unsafe boats.
Defense Minister Roberta Pinotti said in an interview with Il Messaggero newspaper on Sunday that groups in Libya that have been infiltrated by extremists should be "anaesthetized" and a peace-keeping mission should be carried out across the country.
"If we sent 5,000 up to men to Afghanistan, in a country like Libya that concerns us much more closely and in which the risk of deterioration is much more worrying for Italy, our mission could be substantial and demanding, also in terms of numbers," Pinotti said.
No decision had been made about exactly how to proceed, Pinotti said in the interview, published two days after Gentiloni said Italy was "ready to fight" in Libya if needed.
Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said on Saturday that the UN needed to carry out a stronger political and diplomatic mission in Libya, and Italy would not "set out on its own".
In the early part of the 20th century Italy was the colonial power in Libya and it still follows Libyan affairs closely.

Deceuninck North America, a designer and manufacturer of systems for windows, doors, interiors and outdoor living, based in Monroe, Ohio, has partnered with JP Industrial (JPI), Lisbon, Ohio, to introduce a comprehensive recycling program for its customers. JPI says it is the largest recycler of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) materials nationwide.
As part of the program, JPI collects end cuts and other scraps from Deceuninck's fabricators and provides the recycled content to Deceuninck so that the company can re-introduce it into the manufacturing process. Deceuninck launched the program Sept. 1, 2011.
"Deceuninck's commitment to sustainability is evident in our cradle-to-cradle approach," says Filip Geeraert, president and CEO of Deceuninck North America. "We have a zero waste goal, and our partnership with JPI will help us meet this goal by reclaiming unused product that might have otherwise ended up in the waste stream. We look forward to realizing the positive impact this recycling program will have on our customers and the building and construction industry at large."
In addition to the company's partnership with JPI, Deceuninck says it demonstrates its commitment to sustainability by sourcing recycling materials, manufacturing long-lasting, low-maintenance and energy-efficient building materials that can be fully recycled at the end of life and using smarter methods for shipping and delivery of its products.
