TDD: Can you tell us a bit about your background?
Debbie Jones: Well, I've been a paralegal for more than 20 years now. I started my career as a court reporter and then went to work for a pretty big law firm. I work in the business litigation section, and we handle matters such as defending companies, personal injury, and any other corporate defense you can think of.
I'm also one of several of our family members who played basketball along with Tyus. In addition to myself, my sister and my father played quite a bit. I was a point guard during my playing days.
Does being a former player, and having access to so many former players, help you advise Tyus through this process?
Well, I never went through this process the he is, that's for sure. My oldest son, however, did go through the recruiting process…though not to this degree. Still, we do have some experience in dealing with colleges from that, and it helps tremendously with Tyus' recruitment.
Ultimately, what are you hoping Tyus finds at the end of this process?
I want him to find and attend a school where he fits in. Where he can have success, and just a place where he'll get a good education. I also think it's important that he be around great people. Overall, it's not one particular thing, and the colleges he's looking at don't really have a bad option. Now it's just a matter of finding the best place for him.
How would you characterize the recruiting process for him to date?
I definitely think it's going well. The people we are dealing with are great, and they've been very respectful of our family in that they have said they don't want to call or text every day. They've been very good in working with us because they don't need to call every single day. That part of it has been really nice, and we can call them when we want to. So, as a whole, it's been really good and a lot of fun. We've been able to meet so many grey people, and the coaches and their staffs have been so great to work with. We've enjoyed working with them and learning about the different schools and programs from them.
It seems as though you don't want a ton of attention or spotlight when going through this process. Is that correct?
I think the attention is there, but it's being handled in a very respectful way. It's not about spending all the time in the world on the phone or responding with text messages or emails. Everything has been done in a way where you know the interest is there for your son, but it's not being over-done. I don't think attention needs to be in too great a volume for you to know they are interested.
Was that approach yours, or did you lay down ground rules from the start?
It was right from the beginning, especially when the coaches started calling. Tyus was getting ready to leave for Team USA to prepare for the World Championships, so they knew he wouldn't be taking phone calls, and they were made aware of how we wanted to things. They've all been very respectful of that, and have continued to be.
Speaking of Team USA, several of his teammates have talked about your role there. Several players have indicated how you were a 'second mom' to them when they were on the road. You seemed to almost be a point person for several of those players.
I have to say, that's really nice to hear. A lot of that goes back to the beginning of all of this. I was coaching my kids when they started, and I was always president of the Booster Club. It's just what I do. With Team USA, I was fortunate enough to be participate at the tryouts and practices with all the kids, who are really great. Everyone was really very nice, and very respectful. They were the kind of kinds you want your child to be around. Even my little one had a chance to go with us on the trips, and the players were so accepting of him - almost like he was their little brother. It was a whole lot of fun. As far as the organization thing goes…it comes from my nature I think. Still, it's nice to hear they appreciated that, because it may have been something as small as ordering food at the hotel or whatever.
Both Jahlil Okafor and Theo Pinson have talked about playing with Tyus in college. Jahlil, especially. Given the relationships, are you in touch with their camps as much as Tyus is?
I have actually had good conversations with their parents and that has come up. We've all discussed it, and it would be great because the kids have the same goals and dreams, so of course the parents do as well. If there's a way to make it work, then we will find a way to make it happen. That's the discussion we're having.
As parents, how do you look at things differently from your sons when they talks about schools?
I think we're similar. As parents you say you want them around good people. Is the school a good environment, and is it fit for learning life lessons beyond basketball? I don't think kids think about that as much as parents do, and we also talk about the academics a great deal as well.
Do you think you will travel to see Tyus play on a regular basis when he goes to school?
Most definitely. I'm not sure if I've ever missed a game of his, which can be hard sometimes. My older son played at South Carolina, so I couldn't make it to every game. Now, with Tyus, I might have some more flexibility if he goes far away and hopefully I'll be able to see more of his games.
It doesn't sound like distance is a huge factor when it comes to the decision making process then, correct?
You can get anywhere via plane, so whether it's a one hour plane ride or a three hour plane ride, I don't think that's as big a concern as long as transportation is available wherever he goes. That's always a consideration, but I don't think that'll be part of his decision which makes him not go somewhere.
Going back to your role as an organizer, it seems as though you helped facilitate the unofficial visit to Duke for Tyus, Jahlil, and Theo. How tough was that process to plan?
Not hard at all actually. We had been planning it for quite a while, and we just communicated it to everyone involved. That weekend was the best to make it happen. It was easy with Theo since he was so close, and with Jahlil, it was just communicated with him and his dad. Once it was decided on, we worked to make it happen.
Was there anything specific that made you all want to visit Duke together?
It wasn't the first visit we had done by ourselves. We had previously visited Ohio State, Michigan State, and Baylor. I think Jahlil had already been to a couple of those places before as well. It was just one of those things where we could visit Duke and North Carolina at the same time, and it was a good time to get everyone together.
Was it Tyus' idea to do the joint visit, or was that more a circumstantial thing?
It was just more the discussion we were having at the time. It was more 'this is what we're going to do, and when we're going to go, so let's see if it works for everyone else'.
What were your thoughts on the visit to Durham?
Oh, it was amazing, and very beautiful. The history of the school and program, and everything we got to see, and the people we were about to be around was almost overwhelming. The people there were some accommodating, so friendly, and so down to earth at the same time. We were excited to do it, and it was much more than we even thought of or imagined.
Who was it that you got to interact with?
Everyone on the staff, and the different families. We got to meet siblings, wives, and kids from everyone. It was just everyone you could possibly think of…that's who we got to meet. We had no idea it was going to be like that, but it was really a family environment. I don't know if that was something specifically planned, but it much more than we even expected or thought.
Where did all this happen?
At his office and elsewhere. We were there for Midnight Madnes, and the coaches and their families, especially Coach K's wife, were all involved in a lot of what they were doing anyway, so we got to be around them on campus, at the office, at the gym, and throughout the program.
What were your main takeaways from that experience?
Just the fact that we got to sit down with Coach K and listen to him share his experiences was great. With the things he's done, it's almost unbelievable. He's done almost everything you can imagine, and just getting to sit down with him and listen to him…it's amazing.
Since the visit, have they communicated with you as much?
Oh yes. We talk with the coaches routinely.
It appears as though Duke has refrained from offering any other point guards aside from Tyus. Is that something that's discussed?
That is accurate, yes. We also talk about how things are going, and they've come up for a game so far. They want to know how his season is going, and how he's feeling about things. It's just really normal conversations.
Do you have more visits in the works at this time?
We have a visit to Kentucky coming up in January.
It appears, from published reports, that Coach Calapari is increasing his interest in Tyus of late. What are your impressions of the program as you prepare for this visit?
Coach Calapari is a really great guy, and he does a great job. He's in a bit of a different situation since he has kids coming and going very frequently though. He does an amazing job with that position, and he embraces it. It's amazing to see the results he has year after year considering that situation. He does an amazing job with what he does.
What has UK done to let you know the interest is ramping up with Tyus?
It is definitely different. The kids he recruits…they develop and move on rather quickly. It's definitely different and is something you have to consider when you are making your decision. He definitely gets the players who can come in and go on through his system. He has no problem move them on whatever the timeframe. That's something you have to take into consideration, if that's along the lines you want to go. He recruits the kids that are going to fit into the system he has established.
What kind of things do you evaluate with that approach and system when looking at how Tyus fits in at Kentucky?
I think you just take it as a consideration just like all the other schools. It's a great university with great academics and they have great people in their system. You just have to take everything into consideration and evaluate them as a potential fit. As we go there and see what the situation is at the university, I think we'll know as we visit and see each system and school I think we'll know what's right and what the best fit is.
At some point it'll be decision time. For some players it's earlier, whereas some wait until the proverbial last minute. Do you have any idea where Tyus fits in that spectrum?
I think it's really hard to say right now. I don't know when it's going to be. Right now there are just too many schools to visit and too much to take into consideration to say when he'll feel he's ready.
Have you thought of any other visits you'd like to take before starting to allocate the five official visits?
We will be getting to Kansas, although he has already been there before with his travel team. Right now, however, we don't have anything planned, and I don't ever know right now if there's anything else to plan before he decides on his officials.
Have you talked about the criteria used to narrow the list to the five schools who will get official visits?
No, not particularly. The criteria is all the same from what he's already looking for. It's a matter of him deciding on which five he wants to visit officially. That's really all there is to it.
It sounds like he's got a lot of room with the decision. Have you made a conscious decision to approach this in that way?
Yes, I think that's right. But, also, we have a lot of discussions about the places he's considering. Ultimately the decision is his, but it's not like everything won't be weighed and discussed as a family. But, ultimately, he's got to make his decision. I'm going to give my opinion, and we'll talk about what goes into this decision. When it comes down to making the choice, however, it'll be done with a lot of thought and going back and forth with one another. Everything will be out in the open amongst us, and then it ail be his decision to make, but not without a lot of discussion.
Who will be involved in that discussion?
My sister and brother in law have been the other two who have accompanied us on the unofficial visits, so they are in on the discussions as well. Other family will be involved as well. There's a group of us, but it'll be our family.
Anyone else going to have input?
For us, it's mainly just family. His high school coach and AAU coach are around to help him, but when it comes to the decision making process and the underlying discussions, it's mainly just the family.

Senate report shows Krueger saved state taxpayers $700,000 in cost of operations According to figures received from the Secretary of the Senate and the Senate Service Department, former Sen. Bob Krueger saved taxpayers over $700,000 by reducing the cost of running his Senate office during the fust half of this year. Krueger under spent his office account allowance by $340,000 and saved almost $400,000 in postal expenses during his tenure as a U.S. Senator. "These figures show that I made good on my pledge to reduce government expenditures and eliminate waste while maintaining constituent services," said Krueger. "If I had remained in the Senate I would have urged Senators to allow these savings to be returned directly to the Treasury and restricted for use only to reduce the budget deficit or to pay down the national debt." Under current Senate regulations the funds are retained by the Senate. In addition to the savings in his office expenses, Krueger voluntarily returned 20 percent of his Senate salary to the U.S. Treasury each month. "These savings over just a six month period indicate that Congress can promote government efficiency and economy by managing its own budget," said Krueger. "In particular, the elim ination of mass mailings could save many millions of dollars each year, and no one would miss it." Krueger urged Congress to eliminate waste in congressional budgets and monitor costs because he said scarce federal dollars should be targeted towards higher priorities like lessening the federal deficit and improving education, health, child care and economic investment. Bob Krueger Accident case could be sent to county DA By JENNIFER ROMPEL Staff Writer Investigators at the New Braunfels Police Department have nearly completed an investigation into an accident last week that resulted in the death of a New Braunfels businessman and are expected to turn the case over to the Comal County District Attorney's office later this week. The accident involved Russell R. Koehler, 43, of Marion, who was pro-nounced dead at the scene, and Michael Dewayne Wright, 28, of Merkel. The case involves whether or not Wright should be held responsible for Koehler's death. Wright is a driver for the Ploof Truck Lines in Jacksonville. According to police reports, the accident occurred when Wright, who was driving a 1987 Green International tractor and trailer, ran a stop light and struck Koehler's vehicle. Koehler was driving a 1978 cream AM General Jeep. The accident occurred at 6:04 p.m. Sept. I at the intersection of Loop 337 and Common Street. Family outing? Herald-Zeitung photo by JOHN HUSETH This family of deer were spotted by Herald-Zeltung photographer John Huseth yesterday In a neighborhood yard on California Street near Landa Park. They apparently came to visit, but with no one at home, they just feasted In the yard. NBISD adopts budget By ROSE MARIE EASH Staff Writer The New Braunfels Independent School District board of trustees adopted a budget of $24,117,603 and set the tax rate at $1.47 at Tuesday's Budget Meeting. The budget for 1993-94 is $1,138,268 more than last year's budget. According to a report by Lonnie Curtis, Assistant Superintendent of Finance, the largest portion of the 4.95 percent increase is due to an increase of $774,497 in payroll cost for raises and staff increases. While the new tax rate is one cent less than last year's $1.48 rate, the Homestead Expemption introduced by the County Education Districts was eliminated with the elimination of the CEDs and homeowners who previously had the 20 percent exemption may receive a tax increase. All other types of taxable property may receive a slight decrease in taxes. P&Z approves master plan for unit 3 of New Braunfels center By JENNIFER ROMPEL Staff Writer The New Braunfels Planning and Zoning Commission met in a regular meeting Tuesday night and approved the master plan for New Braunfels Center. The commission also gave approveal to Unit Three of tthe New Braunfels Center. According to officials, the master plan covers four lots on U.S. Highway 81 and Interstate 35. The lot is not currently being used. (Officials said the expected use of the property has not been discussed at this time. They said they will not know the use of the property until applications for building permits are made. The commission also conducted the following business: ■ Approved the regular meeting minutes of Aug. 3 ■ Gave approval to Unit Eight of Park Ridge ■ Gave approval to the Amending Plat of Lots 70A and 71 A, Block Three of Park Ridge, Unit Seven. No citizen communication was heard. Communities in Schools is one of the newest United Way agencies By ROSE MARIE EASH Staff Wrttf_ The Greater New Braunfels Communities in Schools is one of the newest local United Way agencies. Its mission is to decrease the drop out rate in schools through an in-school multidisciplinary approach. The local organization receives $5,000 from United Way to help it promote and facilitate the coordinated delivery of community social services, as well as health, educational and other support services for the benefit of "at-risk" students "When you're first starting out a non-profit organization in a community it's really hard to know where to go for support," said Diane Fanning, CIS Executive Director "It's so nice to know that United Way is there to give you a helping hand." The new program is also receiving help from the state CIS organization Craigmile begins second term on UW board By ROSE MARIE EASH Staff Writer Neil Craigmile is serving his second term as a United Way board member after a few years off and he's excited about represented part of the outlying area of Comal County. "They were looking for representation from more than just New Braunfels," said Craigmile. "The president of the Garden Ridge/Bracken Lions Club asked me if I would serve and I said I would be happy to. What I like about it is that we have one concentrated drive to benefit a significant number — 28 — of agencies that provide needed services in the Comal County community." Craigmile said he thought by having a single fundrais ing effort more people could be served and he wished the effort could include all agencies. "When United Way first came into being that was the intent — to be all inclusive and have one fund drive," he said. "Then we wouldn't have multiple drives. The overhead associated with United Way is minimal — we have a paid director and a part-time secretary. A very, very small amount goes to the national headquarters — I'd say 98 percent of the money donated to the United Way in Comal County stays in Comal County. The money goes to the need, not to the administrative area, as we hear so often." Craigmile is also serving his second term as a Comal County Commissioner. He's served the county in that capacity for six and half years now and served eight years as a city council member for Garden Ridge — and other local civic organizations to get started in its first year. Recently, the state funding was announced and the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce was honored for its help at a reception host ed by the Greater New Braunfels CIS organization. Susan Hopkins, the State Director of Communities in Schools of Texas was present to deliver additional state funding for the fiscal year which begins this month. Connie Cone, President of the Greater New Braunfels CIS Board of Directors and Diane Fanning, Executive Director, presented a certificate of appreciation to the Chamber for the hard work, vision and leadership they provided in the formation of Communities in Schools in New Braunfels. On hand to receive the award was Chamber President Tom Purdum, Board Chairman Mike Dietart and Executive Vice President Mike Meek. The principals of the schools hosting Communities in Schools sites, Marilyn Buckner of Lone Star, Sid Ridgeway of Frazier Elementary and Cris Vasquez of Lamar were also introduced as were the two CIS Project Directors, Alison Berun and Esther MendozaHead New Braunfels Read!

June 7th Sailing out of Barcelona: MSC Preziosa Cruise Review by penny067
Overall Member Rating
June 7th Sailing out of Barcelona
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
Embarkation was efficient and quick, they issued the children with their own teen cards with a balance of what ever you wanted to put on, it gave them their own independence and also you knew exactly how much they were spending so it didn't get out of hand. The cabins were small but they were also spotless with plenty of wardrobe space along with drawers and shelves, you even had a little line in the bathroom to put your swimsuits on. There were so many bars on board, we still don't know if we saw them all, each bar had different entertainment, so you just had to decide what took your fancy each night. The buffet was fantastic with lots to choose from, you would really have to be a picky eater to not find something you liked. We only ate in the restaurant a couple of nights, the food was lovely, More but I found it a bit limiting.
The different ports were lovely and some of them all you had to do was walk through the terminal and you were on the street. Listening to advice from friends we didn't do any of the ships excursions, choosing instead to hire taxis (which you don't pay till you get back to the ship, which worked out being a fraction of the price of an excursion but you did get to go to the same places. We were a bit dubious about getting off in Tunisia, but, that ended up being our best day, we had so much fun with all the haggling.The staff aboard the ship were friendly and courteous at all times, nothing was a problem for them. The day at sea was just perfect sun all day long.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Get the U's newsletter
Sat 28 Nov 09
The U's made four changes for the trip to Hereford United in the FA Cup Second Round.Marc Tierney returned at left back, Kem Izzet and Simon Hackney came into midfield, whilst Steven Gillespie started up front for the first time since March.Phil Ifil, David Fox, Anthony Wordsworth and Clive Platt were the men to make way as the U's started with an attacking line-up.The home side were to have the first chance of the afternoon, as Constantine cut in from the wing and got his shot away, but it slashed well wide and eventually went out for a throw.
They then broke the offside trap and as McCallum tried to cross the ball, he miscued his effort but saw it clip the crossbar as it went away to safety.
The Bulls were bright in the early stages, and loanee Mutch laid the ball out to the wing before continuing his run to sidefoot volley the resulting cross well over the bar.
However, the U's had the best chance of the first ten minutes when persistence from Gillespie saw him regain the ball by the byline, cutting inside the full back and drilling in a low shot that Bartlett did very well to turn away from danger.
Two minutes later, the U's front man threaded through a superb ball for Odejayi who powered his way to the edge of the area before firing in a shot that was relatively simple for the keeper to collect.
The U's were starting to create chances and from the second of two quick corners, Odejayi flicked a head at the ball and saw it cleared off the line at the last moment.
Lisbie's pace saw the U's escape forward to set up O'Toole to curl an effort wide of the top of the post, before McCallum cut in to fire a shot into Williams' midriff as the mid-point of the half arrived.
Whilst the home side had spells of possession, it was the U's who were the more incisive as their pace proved vital.Persistence from Hackney saw him stand a cross up to the far post and this time Gillespie was free, but he could only force his header outside of the side netting with his punched headed effort.
The home side had a rare chance just after the half hour mark as the ball was laid across the edge of the area to the onrushing Jones. He smashed in an effort that may have just dipped in, but Williams tipped the ball over the bar with a fine save.
The teams went in level at half time, and both sides made a change at the break. Hackney made way for the U's, having looked in discomfort at the interval, with Platt coming on up front and Gillespie going to left wing.
The home side started the second half the brighter, but the U's continued to defend manfully when required.
The U's were again breathing a sigh of relief eight minutes after half time, when a cross from the left by Valentine eluded Williams, but again clipped the crossbar and away to safety.Izzet went into the book for a foul on the left hand side and loanee Mutch took the free kick from a dangerous position. The effort was wasted, but it was certainly the Bulls who had seen more of the ball in the second half.
They had one effort well saved just after the hour mark, and the U's fans were urging their side on to try and get a foothold in the game and find a path to goal themselves.
McAllum managed to squeeze his way through the back line with a clever through ball and, jinking back and forth, he eventually struck a shot that went straight down the throat of Williams.
The U's made a change with fifteen minutes remaining as Wordsworth came on for Gillespie in the dying moments of the game, and the visitors slowly but surely stemmed the flow of Hereford pressure.Indeed, going into the dying stages of the game, it was the U's who were on top and the more likely to score.And so it proved in the final moments of the match in a well crafted Colchester move.The ball was cleverly fed out to Wordsworth after some neat build up play by the U's and, although the cross initially went behind the awaiting players, the chance wasn't over yet.O'Toole strode confidently onto the loose ball and smacked home a great low effort to send the visiting fans into raptures.The U's players all joined the travelling fans in celebrating the Irishman's goal and the U's made late progress into Round Three.
Att: 2,225 (271 away fans)U's: Williams, White, Reid, Okuonghae, Tierney, Lisbie, Izzet, O'Toole, Hackney (Platt), Gillespie (Wordsworth), Odejayi (Ifil)Subs: Cousins, Heath, Batth, Thomas

Youth and History: Tradition and Change in European Age Relations 1770 - Present, Expanded Student Edition deals with the patterns of behavior and styles that characterizes the youth in a particular period of time. Chapters in the book discuss such topics as the description of youth in preindustrial Europe; the emergence of separate working class and middle class traditions of youth and the conflict between these traditions, as it was institutionalized in the academic and extracurricular cultures of the early twentieth century; and the youth tradition in the volatile 1950s and 1960s. Psychologists, sociologists, and historians will find the book insightful.

- Writers: Bruno Heller

Investigating the murder of sports star Cody Benbow's girlfriend, Patrick's ample preparations prove fatally flawed for an unfortunate uniformed cop. Instead of actually punishing him or at last Lisbon for utterly failing to supervise, CBI director Bertram just sends them to a faraway desert hellhole. There forensic expert Brett Partridge, like Bertram on the red John suspects shortlist, identifies the accidentally dug-up, two year old, yet posthumously moved corpse of businessman Yardley, reported missing by his openly relieved wife Madison, whom he was divorcing, as she can now evict stepson Gavin, who has a terrible record. The victim had an appointment with a dodgy debtor. Patrick however sets up HQ at a nearby motel, taking great interest in staff and cooking. To his dismay, Lisbon fails to respect his secrecy command about the shortlist, telling Grace, who told Wayne, who tells Cho. This enables Red John to strike at the team.

It may not have even happened at all, but I'll get on to that. 15-year-old Pranav Dhanawade this morning resumed his innings on 652 unbeaten runs in a HT Bhandari Cup match in Mumbai, and shortly after lunch reached the formidable four-figure mark, before his team KC Gandhi School declared on 1465-3. It's particularly impressive, granted, but there are a few alarming factors in this demolition that I'd like to scrutinise before admiring it too much.
The game in question was a two day under-16's game competed between Dhanawade's school team and another Mumbai school, Arya Gurukul. However, according to the opposition coach, "The boys playing for my team were actually from U-14 and most of them playing for the first time. My U-16 team players who were supposed to participate could not come as the principal could not release them due to 10th exams. The boys were under prepared. In fact, such was the impact of his shots that they could not put hand to the ball". This to me, seems like the teams were severely unbalanced from the outset.
Once the game was underway, before Dhanawade even came to the crease, this potential unbalance was confirmed, with KC Gandhi rattling through Arya Gurukul particularly quickly, bowling them out for just 31 runs in 20 overs. Now, I'll accept that at this stage plenty of factors could have been in play here – a dodgy pitch, particularly good bowling, perhaps even a trigger-happy umpire, but I'd take that to be at the very least a second indication that, believe it or not, the teams might be a little unbalanced.
Assuming that this is all true, I'd like to take a moment to point out the absolutely diabolical sportsmanship shown here. A team, scoring at 15 runs per over for any significant length of time against a group of first-time cricketers two years younger than them, should never, ever, let it get to this stage. There is just no excusing it whatsoever. Not only will these kids be put off of cricket for life, but there's got to be a serious, unnecessary risk of injury associated with pinging a cricket ball at them so hard and so frequently.
Overnight, he was reported to have scored 652* from 199 balls, including 78 fours and 30 sixes. Incredible. Upon reaching 1009* from 327 balls, the scorecard shows that he hit 129 fours and 59 sixes. Incredible? Certainly so, since he seems to have actually lost some of the runs that he earned the last day. 652, plus an additional 51 fours, plus an additional 29 sixes, equals 1030*. He's either been shortchanged 21 runs (not including however many he ran between the wickets today) or there's been some wizardry with the scores along the way.
Even more discrepancies with the score indicate either a lack of attention to detail by the scorers or simply a lack of ability to count as quickly as Pranav could score runs. For example, between 729* and 804* he miraculously managed to score 75 runs (in 13 minutes) whilst only increasing his team's score by 51. Perhaps they wanted to make it fairer for the poor Arya Gurukul team after all. This indeed doesn't show that he scored less than 1009 runs, but it certainly suggests that whoever was tallying up the runs in this game might not have done so accurately.
Also noteworthy is that he managed to score at a strike rate of over three hundred but the video coverage of his innings shows very few aggressive strokes and an abundance of blocks, nudges and nurdles. Again, this doesn't prove much, over a period of 327 balls there's room for anything, but it still makes it difficult to imagine that he scored a whopping 87% of his runs in boundaries. Maybe they missed most of the sixes in their "live" coverage.
All in all, it's still a phenomenal achievement (if not completely fabricated, which I'm not even going to touch on), but is it really something to celebrate him as a hero for? Bashing a bunch of u14 debutants that are half his size around a tiny pitch without thought for sportsmanship? Besides, he looks about 30.

Marginal technologies are defined as the technologies actually affected by the small changes in demand typically studied in prospective, comparative life cycle assessments. Using data on marginal technologies thus give the best reflection of the actual consequences of a decision. Furthermore, data on marginal technologies are easier to collect, more precise, and more stable in time than data on average technologies. A 5-step procedure is suggested to identify the marginal technologies. The step-wise procedure first clarifies the situation in which the marginal should apply, and then identifies what specific technology is marginal in this situation. The procedure is illustrated in two examples: European electricity production and pulp and paper production.

Sheer is a divisive word in fashion. The knee-jerk reaction on hearing that spring is going see-through is to panic and think of Cher circa Turn Back Time. But that's not what sheer looks like this season. The new approach is more of a classy version of wardrobe hide and seek – transparent and opaque panels that conceal and reveal. Translucent panels also add instant kudos to a skirt or trousers – see Phillip Lim's black silk panel pair. But the trend has a practical side, too. Black sheer is like black tights in that it has a slimming effect – and who could resist that kind of armour in their wardrobe?

Liar Knight's
Fion's eyes raked over the two burly men who walked into the chamber. Her young green eyes narrowed in suspicion.
Well, thought Fion sadly, it must be possible if they are doing so right now.
If they were not going to give her a clue, then she would have to go with her instincts. She thought it over whilst staring at the pair of men. Fion wondered if the council would be able to hear ticking of the cogs working in her brain as she pondered over her two options.
Yes, this was obviously a test and yes, these men were obviously not her Knights. Logic and magic deduced that much for her. But there could always be the off-chance that the duo were the fated Avalon Knights.
Something went ping in her brain as she came to her conclusion. Fion smiled gently at the group. The goblin who had silenced every member of the council earlier lip's twitched as he clocked onto Fion's knowing glint in her eye.
'These are not my Knights.' Fion looked up from underneath her eyelashes, 'do not take me for a fool. I am the Gwragedd Annwn and I demand you reveal to me my true fated Knights!'
Her father's eyes bored into her, searching for a sign that Fion was unsure of her sudden declaration.
'What would you do if we said you are false in your answer. Would you still partake in the journey to the Dark Fey's bund?' A bizarre creature with five arms and over-sized antlers croaked loudly.
'No.' Fion said quietly, 'if I am wrong, then I, obviously, am not the one you seek.' With that curt comment, she sat back down on the eerie skull stool on which she had been introduced to not just fifteen minutes ago.
The thing smiled broadly, before catching himself out, coughing and composing himself once more.
'It seems you were right, Your Highness, this is the fated women.' Grunted the foul-mouthed fearie from earlier. Fion fought back the urge to cackle wildly at his contradicting attitude towards her now he knew she was not just his princess, but his saviour.
Fion beamed inwardly. She was their saviour.

|Happy new year? Not quite for stocks. Since the start of 2014, the benchmark S&P 500 index lost 0.55%. Some are seeing this as a reason to worry about the rest of the year. Since 1927, whenever the first five days were down for the market, it closed the year at a loss 52% of the time, according to research by Oppenheimer & Co. CNBC contributor Gina Sanchez, founder of Chantico Global , thinks the fact that the market dropped in the first week of trading means little compared to other factors that may threaten the market. Hanging over the market is the Federal Reserve Bank's tapering of its monetary stimulus program which had helped to keep interest rates down.

Learner-centeredness refers to the belief that attention to the nature of learners should be central to all aspects of language teaching. Learner centeredness may be reflected by: Recognizing learners' needs, goals, and wishes Recognizing learners' prior knowledge Recognizing learners' learning styles and learning preferences Recognizing learners' views of teaching and the nature of classroom tasks What does "learner-centered" education look like? learners are active partners in the learning process course/program/institution is continually renewed through feedback from learners flexibility to accommodate the changing schedules of all learners To make it possible… Tools (technologies) are available as the learner needs them A variety of learning opportunities for discussion - asynchronous and synchronous, collaboration, interaction, and multi-media capability The Internet provides an unrestricted number of sources of information and data on most topics.

This approach dates back to the early 1980s and is now widely used, especially by teachers of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). A concordance is a list of words taken from a piece of authentic language (corpus), displayed in the center of the page and shown with parts of the contexts in which they occur. This is also known as a Key Word In Context or KWIC concordance. Two things are required to produce a set KWIC: A piece of concordance program and a corpus of (electronic) texts. Examples of concordance programs Wordsmith Concordance MonoConc Simple Concordance Program (SCP) PhraseContext What is a corpus? A corpus can be either just one text or a collection of texts. How big a corpus needs depends on what it is to be used for. Chris Tribble* argues that a specialist micro corpus of about 25,000-30,000 words will be quite adequate for most educational purposes Bilingual or multilingual concordances are known as parallel concordances A corpus provides language workers with evidence of how language is really used. Traditional grammars and dictionaries tell us what a word ought to mean, but only experience can tell us what a word is used to mean. *Tribble C. (1997) "Improvising corpora for ELT: quick-and-dirty ways of developing corpora for language teaching". In Melia J. & LewandowskaTomaszczyk B. (eds.) PALC 97 Proceedings, Lodz: Lodz University Press. Paper presented at the Practical Applications in Language Corpora (PALC 97) conference, University of Lodz, Poland: http://www.ctribble.co.uk/text/Palc.htm List of uses of concordancing for language teaching* The teacher can use a concordancer to find examples of authentic usage to demonstrate features of vocabulary, typical collocations, a point of grammar or even the structure of a text. The teacher can generate exercises based on examples drawn from a variety of corpora, for example gap-filling exercises and tests. Students can work out rules of grammar or usage and lexical features for themselves by searching for key words in context. Depending on their level, they can be invited to question some of the rules, based on their observation of patterns in authentic language. Students can be more active in their vocabulary learning: depending on their level, they can be invited to discover new meanings, to observe habitual collocations, to relate words to syntax, or to be critical of dictionary entries. Students can be invited to reflect on language use in general, based on their own explorations of a corpus of data, thus turning themselves into budding researchers. * Information retrieved from http://www.ict4lt.org/en/en_mod2-4.htm Online concordancers and corpora British National Corpus: The British National Corpus (BNC) is a 100 million word collection of samples of written and spoken language from a wide range of sources, designed to represent a wide cross-section of current British English, both spoken and written. http://www.natcorp.ox.ac.uk Collins Cobuild: Cobuild uses a corpus of about 200 million words of written and spoken UK, US and NZ English in dictionary compilation. Collins Cobuild corpora are now accessible only by subscription. KWICFinder http://miniappolis.com/KWiCFinder/KWiCFinder.ht ml How can concordancing contribute to language teaching and learning? "Real" language and authenticity of the learning context native speakers' use of the language Think about how you explain to your students that people don't "eat" medicine but "take" medicine. Analytical powers hypothesis-testing device Language awareness encourage learners to "notice" forms, rather than simply use them. Example: Students may notice that "very" does not go before "like." Curiosity and learner independence Example of concordance activity Exercise A Search for "never+should". How many hits did you get? ______________ Try other combinations, such as "never+would", "never+should", "never+could", "always+could" etc. and note how many hits you get. Write down some of the citations here: _________________________________ Exercise B Now reverse the order. Search for "could+never" etc. How many hits? _________ As for the word order of small adverbs of frequency and modals, the conclusion is that _______________ usually precedes ______________________. Look at the examples you noted in Exercise A. Think of reasons why the author(s) used that position of the adverb of frequency. Write them here: _______________________________________ Exercise C Use the same method to discover the position of adverbs of frequency in compound verbs. e.g. Never+has/has+never/always+could etc. And now think about the answer to this question: is there a difference between UK and US usage? An approach with a lot of potential: Internet based collaboration Students can interact with real English speaking audiences. Students are involved in writing and reading with a purpose. Students are engaged in meaningful learning activities. Students are provided with opportunities to communicate and interact in the target language in real communicational activities. Teachers have a tool to create intrinsically interactive, motivating activities. http://candle.ntcu.edu.tw/candle/ Resources for cross-cultural interaction and project work ePALS Classroom Exchange http://www.epals.com Global Connections and Exchange Programs http://exchanges.state.gov/education/citizens/students/programs/co nnections GEM – Global Education Motivators http://www.gem-ngo.org/ Global Gateway http://www.globalgateway.org.uk/ Global Junior Challenge http://www.gjc.it iEARN – International Education and Resource Network iEARN-USA: http://us.iearn.org iEARN International: http://www.iearn.org iEARN Projects: http://www.iearn.org/projects/ TakingITGlobal http://about.takingitglobal.org/ Telecollaborate! http://nschubert.home.mchsi.com/ Journals dedicated to CALL Language Learning and Technology (Online Journal) ReCALL (European Association for Computer Assisted Language CALICO Journal (Computer Assisted Language Instruction Learning) Consortium) Teaching English with Technology (IATEFL Poland) CALL-EJ On-line (Online Journal) Computer Assisted Language Learning: An International Journal CALL Review: the SIG Journal (The IATEFL Special Interest Group's IALLT Journal (International Association for Language Learning JALTCALL Journal (Japan Association of Language Teaching - (Taylor and Francis) Newsletter) Technology) Computer-Assisted Language Learning Special Interest Group) ON-CALL (Australia) Archives only - now incorporated into CALL-EJ: http://www.cltr.uq.edu.au/oncall/home.html Journal of Computer Assisted Learning (Blackwell - Computer Assisted Learning in general rather than CALL) Professional Associations CALICO: US-based professional association devoted to CALL.

I'm sure it seems a bit silly to point out we need to know our children. And yet, I think it is harder than we might initially think. I truly believe keeping babies – even newborns, wait, especially newborns – on a routine helps you to know them as well as you can. When things are predictable you begin to know their tired sounds, their fussy sounds, and their hungry sounds. Cues that everyone else might miss you begin to pick up on immediately. Then, as they go from babies to toddlers you begin to see glimpses of their personality and what makes them come alive.
From toddlers to preschooler to child to tween to teen and on. They will grow up and become the person God made them to be. I believe it can happen that children and their parents co-exist without their children really knowing them. It's like the parent who always tried to get their son to forget about painting, to study law and play baseball.,Then, halfway through the first year of law school, acts shocked when the son drops out and goes to an art academy.
Why is it so important that we truly know our children?
1. To help train them for the future.
If you don't know your children's strengths, weaknesses and passions how can you possibly prepare them for the future? Children respond differently to both happy and stressful situations. One child may bravely jump into the fray and others are very reluctant to give their opinion or attract attention to themselves. By helping nurture and train to your individual child's own personality and temperament you'll help prepare them for the future. Like my friend's daughter who spent the party in another room alone to recharge, we need to teach them how to deal with themselves. If they have a quick temper, they'll need to learn how to control it. If they are fearful of failure, they'll need to be given plenty of opportunities to try, fail, get back up again under the comfort of your own home. Natural spenders will need to learn to save and natural savers will need to learn to not always be tight. Knowing your children will help you prepare them for adulthood well.
2. So you don't "miss all the signs."
If something traumatic happens in the life of your child and you are paying attention, you will notice it. Because I'm with the children day in and day out, I can notice something is amiss long before my husband does. It isn't because he doesn't love them or spend time with them, it's because I've put more time in and can tell when even a little thing is off. I don't care what the doctor says or doesn't say, whether a tooth is showing, or whether they are saying "I'm tired" or not, I am pretty good at figuring out what's going on. If, God forbid, there is a case of abuse or bullying they are scared to share with you, if you know them then you'll be able to figure it out. At least you'll be able to know that you must dig deeper. If your children start drastically changing behavior then that's a warning sign you need to look closer. The better you know them, the sooner you'll pick it up.
3. So they feel accepted for who they are.
Just like we can't change our husbands or our friends, we can't change our children. Oh yes, we can mold their characters and help them make better choices by guiding well, but we can't change their God-given personalities. When you hone in on your child's love language, you make them feel loved for being themselves. This is especially important if you have one child who is different from the rest. Three rambunctious children and one quiet reserved one, perhaps. By singling out each child and giving them the love and attention they need – not just equal attention amongst siblings – then they will feel truly accepted. I know my son loves physical contact so if we are reading a book and I hold him, that is often enough. My daughter needs one-on-one time and if she doesn't get it, she lashes out at her other siblings. Is that okay? No. Is it simply a symptom of something deeper? Yes.
4. To help them find their sweet spot.
In day-to-day life, if you know your children, you will see areas in which they excel. Some may be great writers, artists or leaders. Some may be able to take apart and put things back together with surprising skills. Some will have excellent memories or tell fascinating stories. The more you know your children the more you'll be able to draw out their talents and passions and help cultivate them. Why have your child in 4 extra-curricular activities they don't give a rip for when you could put the in one they really do? It's okay if you hone in one a particular skill or passion and forget about some others. The marketplace and colleges actually do prefer some expert knowledge or "lopsidedness" as opposed to being well-rounded. Why? Because you don't want the engineer building your bridge to be well-rounded, you want them to be an expert. Who wants their pastor to be great at skiing, but not even have read the Bible all the way through? Know them, learn their passions, and help fuel the fires.
I want to know my children. I want them to know that I know them and love them. I want them to know themselves and to feel good about themselves. I believe that the more effort we give to loving our kids and finding out who they really are, the more the entire family will be enriched. Meaningful conversations, not simply "how was your day?" Talking about dreams and planning together instead of rushing back and forth from one thing to the next. From birth we can begin to observe, catalog and get to know our children's physical needs. Then later their personalities, desires and passions. No matter what they might say, they want us to know them. They want us to know them and love them, and what a privileged position we are in to be able to do so.
