Teachers who promote "partisan doctrine" in the classroom would be automatically fired and districts that allow it would lose state funding under the terms of legislation approved Wednesday by a Senate panel.
The 5-2 vote by members of the Committee on Government Reform came after Sen. Lori Klein, R-Anthem, said she has received complaints about "political indoctrination in the classroom."
Klein said SB 1202 is designed to ensure that students are given a balanced view on what they are being taught.
But the measure appears to be aimed largely at the Tucson Unified School District amid charges that, despite the decision to scrap controversial Ethnic Studies courses, students are still being taught history and social studies in a biased fashion.
Making that case at the Capitol on Wednesday was Gabriela Saucedo Mercer, a Republican congressional candidate who has been a foe of the TUSD program.
"I have seen, first hand, the damage done to our young students by partisans who pretend to be educators," she told lawmakers. "I have seen young students who, through classroom indoctrination rather than instruction, were incited to threaten and harass anyone who disagrees with their position."
Mercer acknowledged that existing state law, passed largely with TUSD in mind, already makes it illegal to have programs that promote racial hatred. While the district denied its programs fit that definition, officials agreed to scrap the program last year amid threats by the state Department of Education to slash 10 percent of its funding
But she said there are those in the district who are effectively skirting the ban by preaching and teaching some of the same messages. Mercer said that was proven when the governing board voted to end the Ethnic Studies program to save the state aid.
"Somebody incited the children to take off from school," she said. "If I was one of the educators, I would tell my children to stay in class because you're supposed to be in class. The teachers had the power to stop the students. They did nothing."
Mercer, who hopes to be the GOP nominee to try to unseat Congressman Raul Grijalva, said it's one thing for university professors to spout political rhetoric. She said students at that age have the mental development to sift through what is being told them and make their own decisions.
"When you are targeting young, impressionable minds, starting from kindergarten, these children get lost," she said.
No one from TUSD came to the committee to either testify on the measure or dispute any of Mercer's contentions. But several legislators said they were troubled by the wording of the legislation, questioning whether the word "partisan" was too broad.
Klein said it is justified, saying it simply means promoting one point of view, whether Democrat or Republican.
"It doesn't matter," she said. "Republicans or conservatives should not be promoting their point of view. Liberals, socialists, Marxists should not be espousing their views in the classroom."
Sen. David Lujan, D-Phoenix, said he fears unintended consequences.
"Any history, social studies teacher who asks their students to read books about any president of the United States could be determined partisan," he said. "And when you're putting a teacher's livelihood on the line, I think you're really chilling their ability to educate their students."
Sen. Frank Antenori, R-Tucson, acknowledged the concern. He got committee members to strip the legislation of any penalty for use of partisan books.
And Klein said she is willing to look at narrowing the scope of what would get a teacher in trouble.
"This is not meant to deter a teacher from teaching social studies or history," she said. What is designed to stop, said Klein, is "revisionist history."
Klein said that category includes La Raza studies which she said encourages hatred toward the United States. She said the end to TUSD's programs did not end that.
"They then took this outside the classroom with demonstrations," Klein said, in a bid to preserve state funding. "They are continuing with the efforts to influence young minds."
Lujan, however, said he was more concerned about other programs that might be affected.
"The language here is so broad that you're going to stifle the education environment and kids' ability to learn," he said. "Let's say they're talking in science (class) and a teacher throws out 'global warming.' That could be considered a partisan issue."
Lujan said it should be up to students to decide if they accept the concept.
But Sen. Rick Murphy, R-Glendale, said that is not an issue.
"As long as the teacher was tolerant of people having other views and not punitive towards them if they express those and try to persuade their classmates of that, and as long as it's relevant, I don't see a problem with that," he said. And Murphy said some of it comes down to context.
"If they're talking about what's relevant to the class, I wouldn't see a problem with that," he said. "But if they're talking about it in math, I would have concerns."

Here's my column from The Journal News and lohud.com:
By Rick Carpiniello
GREENBURGH – Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said Monday that no decision has been made yet on the looming amnesty buyout of Brad Richards' contract.
But all you need to know is that Richards — who as the unofficial acting team captain had made himself so available, and had even done so at the end of last season when he was a healthy playoff scratch facing the possibility of a buyout then — chose to not address the media on break-up day.
He knows the obvious. The Rangers have no choice but to get out of his nine-year contract after three seasons — during which, it needs to be noted, they played nine playoff rounds.
Richards was the first of all the Rangers' players to have an exit meeting with Vigneault Monday.
"I think if you look at Brad's overall season, he had a real good year," said Vigneault, who demoted Richards to the fourth line for the final two games of the Stanley Cup Final loss to Los Angeles.
"In the final series … we had some decisions to make in Game 4 and Game 5. But his overall play on the power play and 5-on-5 during the year was very good. I'm very happy with what he brought to the table — a veteran player that from Day One was a real good extension of the coaching staff in that dressing room. So I mean, I think he should walk away from this season very pleased in how he played and how he contributed to our team.
"As everybody knows, there's decisions to be made and we have to make those yet."
It won't be an easy decision for Vigneault as a coach, but it's a virtual no-brainer for the organization because of the salary-cap hit ($6.67 million per) the next three seasons and the cap-advantage recapture penalty ($5.67 million per) the following three once Richards retires. Rangers general manager Glen Sather has until June 30 to exercise this last-chance buyout.
"I'm a big fan of Brad Richards," Vigneault said. "When I got named (coach) last year, I went to meet him right after."
Vigneault said he felt the loss to Los Angeles would "haunt" him and the team.
One player who felt the burden — more than last year when he graded his one goal in 12 games "good" — was Rick Nash, who scored three in 25 this time around.
"It was a struggle," Nash said. "It's frustrating. I wish I could have produced a lot more. I didn't get the job done like I definitely wanted to. … Probably one of the most frustrating times of my career during this playoff stretch, not being able to produce."
He had an empty net in overtime of Game 5, but his shot hit the stick of Kings defenseman Slava Voynov and went over the crossbar.
"That sums it up," Nash said. "That was clearly going in. … It hit's the shaft."
Vigneault, who said every team needs to infuse young players, and that every team looks different every season, added that he has "got an idea where I'm leaning" about a new captain, likely Ryan McDonagh or Marc Staal, and that he will make that decision before or after training camp.
The Rangers almost certainly will not be able to keep all of their unrestricted free agents — including Anton Stralman, Benoit Pouliot, Brian Boyle and Dominic Moore — and might be able to keep only one of those even with Richards off the books. Stralman and Boyle will be overpaid after July 1, by some team.
The Stanley Cup finalist will change, and there's no guarantee it will get back, or even close to it, next spring.

Seven years ago, Mario Saravia stopped by our office to discuss a house he was planning. Mario is a framing subcontractor who'd worked on several houses we'd designed in the Hills of Oakland, Calif. This new house was intended for Mario and his family and was to be sited alongside a golf course at the edge of a mountainous rain forest outside Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
He had in mind a courtyard dwelling—about which it was easy to enthuse—decked out in a vaguely Spanish Colonial style (white stucco walls, clay tile roof), where ensued a momentary leveling off of our high hopes. Site information was sketchy, documented solely in Mario's memory. Lot dimensions? "About 90 feet by 175 feet," he said. Topography? "Pretty flat," he recalled. Utilities? "We'll work it out," he assured me. Structural design of this concrete-frame-and-block building was to be by one of Mario's uncles.
A modest scope, with a yet more modest fee, was agreed upon, and the game was on.
ruinous notion Early on, we realized that Honduras is home to Copán—the site of a most spectacular set of Mayan ruins. This got us thinking about Mayan Revival buildings in 1920s Los Angeles and about Robert Stacy-Judd, a British-born architect who dreamed up several of the most endearing of these eccentric confections. Photographs of Stacy-Judd show him dressed alternately as an explorer—complete with pith helmet, holstered handgun, and, naturally, briar pipe—or as a Mayan prince, with exotic plumed headdress and hieroglyphic-patterned clothing.
Channeling our inner Stacy-Judd, we arrived at a courtyard scheme—imagined as Mayan Revival Revival style—incorporating a variety of characteristic forms, patterned decoration, and colors. This was, of course, a very distant cry from Spanish Colonial, and it had yet to gain the client's endorsement. It developed, of course, that Mario had visited Copán several times, was thoroughly engaged by the place, and therefore was enthusiastic about the proposal. Drawings were prepared and construction commenced. Four years after the initial meeting, Mario dropped by with photographs showing progress. He was pleased. So, too, were we (as was our inner Stacy-Judd).
Construction moved along deliberately, and it may be that the Maya built their pyramids more quickly than we have built ours. Yet progress was steady, and two years ago, as the color scheme (based on the Rosalila Temple at Copán) was being developed, Mario suggested I visit the site to begin work on the interiors. Stacy-Judd organized two different expeditions to Mayan and Aztec sites in Mexico in the 1920s, and his explorer bona fides are impressive. I am no Robert Stacy-Judd, however. When it comes to exotic travel, I am a coward.
site visit A year ago, of course, I found myself on a midnight flight to Tegucigalpa. It is embarrassing to admit now, but I wondered if I would survive the trip.
Early indications were not encouraging. I emerged from the airport there to a sweltering day—blindingly bright and overwhelmingly chaotic. Presently, though, Mario drove up in a small white truck whose windshield was crossed by two bands of reflective film, set inches apart. The effect was paramilitary, enhanced by the man riding shotgun in the truck's bed.

Obama's debt commission warns of fiscal 'cancer'
Dan Balz
BOSTON -- The co-chairmen of President Obama's debt and deficit commission offered an ominous assessment of the nation's fiscal future here Sunday, calling current budgetary trends a cancer "that will destroy the country from within" unless checked by tough action in Washington.
The two leaders -- former Republican senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming and Erskine Bowles, White House chief of staff under President Bill Clinton -- sought to build support for the work of the commission, whose recommendations due later this year are likely to spark a fierce debate in Congress.
"There are many who hope we fail," Simpson said at the closing session of the National Governors Association annual meeting. He called the 18-member commission "good people with deep, deep differences" who know the odds of success "are rather harrowing."

Love Letters That Are Sweeter, More Awkward Than Your Own
Have you ever written a love letter? Unless you count the occasionally cheesy emails we send a certain Frisky boyfriend from time to time ("If I come home and the dishes are done, you may just get a blow job!), we've only written one real love letter, but we never actually delivered it to its intended recipient. Lucky for us, it didn't end up in a book! But a whole bunch of others did in the new book Other People's Love Letters, which is filled with hundreds of real love letters sent over the decades compiled by editor Bill Shapiro. Some are scrawled on bar napkins or childlike doodles, while others are lengthy email odes. Our favorite is the third grade-inspired letter in which the recipient was given multiple choice answer possibilities. Adorable! [Other People's Love Letters]

Hollywood's Ron Howard and Dan Brown are probably hard at work on a treatment for the upcoming movie--The Butler Did It. The Catholic Church is likely fodder because of the latest Papal scandal. The Church isn't faring well in the court of public opinion and its troubles could turn into a blockbuster.
USA Today gives more background on the scandal and the arrest of the Pope's butler.

14-Year-Old Christopher Huh Debuts KEEPING MY HOPE, A Historical Fiction Graphic Novel About the Holocaust
Christopher Huh, an 8th grade middle school student, has just published a new hand-drawn historical fiction graphic novel about the Holocaust, Keeping My Hope. To write Keeping My Hope, Christopher spent over 1,000 hours conducting research on WWII and the Holocaust. It took him about a year and a half to complete the book.
The storyline circles around the life of Ari. Ari is a teenager whose entire life is turned upside down by the horrors of the Holocaust. He and his family are torn apart and moved to Auschwitz, where the reader gains an inside look at what prisoners in the concentration camps suffered through. However, even with these atrocities, the power of friendship shines through and gives Ari hope to keep surviving through the darkest blizzards of terror. Informative yet touching, Keeping My Hope spreads the message of how powerfully racism and prejudice can affect those around us.
Christopher says, "I started out writing Keeping My Hope just for myself. I wanted to organize and retain the knowledge that I gained from my research by creating an illustrated story. By creating these characters and giving them life, I felt like I was participating in history. Learning about WWII and the Holocaust in this way was not only fun for me but also helped me to remember what I'd learned. As the pages accumulated, I began to show my drawings to people around me and after much support, I decided to turn my work into a published book. I hope to share the valuable lessons I have learned through my book."
His teacher Ms. Schiller says, "This is one-of-a-kind book. Christopher has captured history in a new way, reaching out to the younger generation. Readers of all ages will be touched by the story."

Building a Summer House
Download required Adobe Acrobat Reader to view
Save over £1000 by building your own summer house. Buying a standard construction kit and with erection charges would cost you over £2000 for a 2.4m by 2.4m summer house.

The timber construction uses standard building materials which been obtained from a local building supplies company. The building proves strong and warm with a double skin of insulated walls. The size of the summer house selected is 2.4m x 2.4m and 2.8m high. But these dimensions could easily be adapted if a different size was required.
Most of the construction can be done with one person and the materials can be purchased in smaller quantities on a just in time basis so cash flow is maximised.

The gnomish nation of Zilargo is ruled by the Triumvirate, which was originally formed to govern the Library of Korranberg and its colleges and students, but was chosen as the general form of government to unite the various gnomish city-states against the war machine of Malleon the Reaver, a human warlord who lived in the era of conflict and exploration following the arrival of Lhazaar to Khorvaire from Sarlona.
A triumvir is chosen for each of Zilargo's largest cities: Korranberg, Trolanport, and Zolanberg.

EA and Crytek have formally announced Crysis 3, describing it as the 'premier sandbox shooter experience of 2013′. Once more powered by Crytek's proprietary CryENGINE, Crytek promise further visual advancement and dynamic gameplay.
Players will resume the role of Prophet as he returns to New York, only to discover that the city has been encased in a Nanodome created by the corrupt Cell Corporation. The New York City Liberty Dome is a veritable urban rainforest teeming with overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers.
Within the Liberty Dome, seven distinct and treacherous environments become known as the Seven Wonders. This dangerous new world demands advanced weapons and tactics. Prophet will utilize a lethal composite bow, an enhanced Nanosuit and devastating alien tech to become the deadliest hunter on the planet.
'Crysis 3 is a thrilling mix of sandbox gameplay, advanced combat and hi-tech human and alien weaponry that shooter fans will love,' said Cevat Yerli, Chief Executive Officer of Crytek. 'Leveraging the latest CryENGINE technology, we're able to deliver seven unique themes that offer stunning and visually loaded gameplay experiences. We cannot wait until people get their hands on the game.'
Set in 2047, Prophet is on a revenge mission after uncovering the truth behind Cell Corporation's motives for building the quarantined Nanodomes. The citizens were told that the giant citywide structures were resurrected to protect the population and to cleanse these metropolises of the remnants of Ceph forces. In reality, the Nanodomes are Cell's covert attempt at a land and technology grab in their quest for global domination.

"almost" Boston Market Creamed Spinach
Recipe by Kittencalrecipezazz
This is quite similar to the creamed spinach at Boston Market, well so I'm told anyway! --- this is a great side dish, even people that hate spinach love this, it's great to serve along side a holiday turkey or a ham dinner, or at any meal --- I also like to saute about 2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic and a pinch of cayenne pepper in the butter for about 2 minutes before adding in the flour but that is optional, add in some grated Parmesan cheese too if desired, this complete recipe can be doubled :)
Top Review by Marmish
This was a fast, simple, pretty side dish. I used cream instead of 1/2 and 1/2 and omitted the sour cream because I didn't have any. I considered subbing yogurt, but it was delicious as it was. Some might prefer the tangy sour cream to cut the richness. The sauce seemed too thick at first, but when the spinach was added, it thinned slightly and was the perfect consistency. I will make this again, soon!
See Discussion:68 Reviews 5 Tweaks
Ingredients Nutrition
White Sauce
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (I use seasoned salt)

Directions See How It's Made
- In a saucepan melt butter over medium heat until sizzling.
- If you are adding in the fresh garlic and a pinch of cayenne pepper then saute in butter for about 2 minutes but do not brown the garlic.
- Whisk in the flour and 1/2 tsp seasoned salt (or white salt) until creamed together and smooth.
- Stir in the half and half, or milk (if using) a little at a time.
- Increase heat to medium and constantly whisk until the mixture becomes thick and smooth.
- Remove from heat; set aside.
- Place 2 tbsp butter in saucepan over med heat; add the 2 tbsp minced onion, and cook until transparent.
- Add spinach and water to pan, lower the heat, and cover.
- Stirring several times until the spinach is cooked.
- When the spinach is almost done, add the prepared white sauce, sour cream and Parmesan cheese (if using).
- Stir well, and simmer until completely blended.
- Season with more seasoned salt or white salt if desired and black pepper.

The unemployment rate dropped in August from 8.3% to 8.1%. Good news? Not hardly. The reason for the drop was that more people stopped looking for work. And the economy could only manage to create 96,000 jobs -- far below what is necessary to employ all the new workers who enter the work force every month.
In a word - pathetic.
Pathetic jobs numbers

As requested by President Obama, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission launched a two-step safety review of U.S. nuclear power plants as a result of Japan's nuclear crisis.
The NRC voted Wednesday to set up a task force, made up of senior staff and former NRC experts, to do short-term and long-term analyses of lessons learned from Japan, where a March 11 earthquake and tsunami damaged the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant northeast of Tokyo.
"Examining all the available information from Japan is essential to understanding the event's implications for the United States," NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko said in a statement. He said the review will determine whether changes need to be made at the 104 nuclear power reactors at 65 sites nationwide.
FOLLOW Green House on Twitter
The NRC said the short-term review will be completed within three months, with updates after 30 days and 60 days. It expects the longer review to be finished by the end of the year.

According to a new forecast from IDC (www.idc.com), the number of third-party applications designed to run on smart wearable devices is expected to grow from 2,500 at the end of 2014 to 349,000 in 2019.
While the majority of these applications will be consumer focused, the research group believes a significant opportunity exists for enterprise-oriented applications. Developers capable of delivering clear benefits and a transformative experience will catalyze demand and further accelerate application development on the supply side.
With the Apple Watch expected to capture up to two thirds of the smart wearable device market in 2015, Apple's influence on the wearable applications market will be considerable.
"It has been clear since well before it was launched that the Apple Watch, with the WatchKit SDK, is poised to set a tone for the broader market," says John Jackson, research vice president, Mobile and...| Read more »

Roman Catholic priest, Father Gerard Pantin, was laid to rest yesterday at Lapeyrouse Cemetery on Phillip Street, following a funeral mass at St Theresa's Church, De Verteuil Street Port-of-Spain.
Fondly known as Fr Gerry, the Holy Ghost priest dedicated his life to educating young people, particularly those in marginal areas. He was the founder of Service Volunteer for All (Servol) which now operates across the country, with the main school in Beetham Gardens, Port-of-Spain. He passed away on Monday at the age of 85, at Spiritan House, Port-of-Spain.

Employees whose employers turn down requests for time off to attend religious services can't just run out and sue for religious discrimination. They have a case only if their employers discipline or discharge them for refusing to comply with the work requirements—for example, by skipping work to attend services.
Bottom line: If you have a good business reason to turn down the request, do so. Make sure to document the undue hardship that you believe the accommodation might cause. An example: If you operate under a collective bargaining agreement that limits the number of weekend shifts employees may work, accommodating one employee could compromise your overall work schedule. That might be an undue hardship.
If the employee is able to take the time off using vacation or personal time, he probably doesn't have a case. And if he keeps coming to work, there isn't much to worry about.
Recent case: Martin Tepper was a letter carrier in Chagrin Falls, OH. As a Messianic Jew, he celebrated the Sabbath each Saturday and observed other Jewish holidays. Between 1992 and 2003, the U.S. Postal Service accommodated Tepper's religious requests. Then reduced staffing levels made it hard to grant Tepper's days off, so the post office told him he had to either use annual leave and unpaid personal time or exchange schedules with other carriers.
He did, but he also sued. The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed his case. To prove a case of religious discrimination, Tepper had to show (1) he had a bona fide religious belief that conflicted with an employment requirement; (2) he told his employer about that belief; and (3) he was discharged or disciplined for failing to comply with the conflicting employment requirement.
The appeals court reasoned lost pay by taking unpaid personal time wasn't discipline and didn't amount to punishment for exercising his religion. (Tepper v. Potter, No. 06-4182, 6th Cir., 2007)

Brian Cashman made headlines this morning because he is candid–some call it cunning, others call it self-destructive. He's in the news because Andy Pettitte hasn't made up his mind about pitching in 2011 yet, the Yanks are short a starting pitcher and because there isn't much else going on. Oh, and because Cashman isn't shy about talking.
I'm still amazed that the Yankees have had a GM for as long as they've had Cashman. It's only natural that at this point in Yankee his career, Cashman has as many, if not more, detractors as he has supporters. I've always found him appealing enough as a public figure as far as suits go, and wouldn't pretend to offer any kind of sound evaluation of him as a GM. His time in New York won't last forever and Cashman's place in team history is already secure (fantastic survivor, ineffective underachiever). One thing is sure–he's good copy, and in New York, that's half the battle.

The 50-year-old Skilling, who appeared before a magistrate in Houston, pleaded innocent to all 35 charges against him. The judge revoked his passport and released him on $5 million bail.
Skilling is the highest-ranking former Enron executive to face charges in the two-year investigation by the Justice Department. So far, 29 Enron (ENRNQ) and Wall Street figures have been charged or pleaded guilty in one of the most infamous corporate crime cases.
In January, former chief financial officer Andrew Fastow pleaded guilty to fraud and agreed to help prosecutors. Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission have investigated former chairman Kenneth Lay, but he has not been charged. His attorneys have said he did nothing wrong.
"The government continues its march up the corporate ladder," said Mark Biros, a defense attorney at Proskauer Rose. "For people at the top, the march is rarely a good thing."
The criminal charges against Skilling consist of securities and wire fraud, trading on inside information, conspiracy and making false statements to auditors. The charges were added to a January indictment against Richard Causey, Enron's former chief accounting officer, that accused him of fraud and conspiracy. If convicted on all counts, Skilling and Causey could face the rest of their lives in prison and hundreds of millions of dollars in fines.
According to the indictment and parallel civil charges filed by the SEC, Skilling, Causey, Fastow and others engaged in a vast scheme from 1999 to 2001 to hide Enron's financial losses to enrich themselves and mislead investors. Skilling allegedly used inside information to gain $63 million from Enron stock sales in 2000 and 2001.
Skilling's defense attorney, Bruce Hiler, said his client is innocent. "The government has tried to demonize Enron from the beginning," he said. "They have no case against Jeffrey Skilling. It's a political season, and they need to get somebody."

By integrating Dyneema® fabrics from DSM with our proven TitanSkin anti-stab technology, we developed a panel that adds stab without sacrificing either superior ballistic performance or comfort.
"Many of our customers expressed an interest in multi-threat panel solutions," said CEO E.M. Stek "Our engineers came up with a way to upgrade our existing inventory of ballistic products at a very reasonable cost to our customers."
Our MT-PRO™ panel not only meets the rigorous standards of NIJ Level IIIA, but we went even further by testing the MT-PRO's bullet stopping capabilities against eight different types of ammunition! The MT-PRO passed the additional testing with flying colors, providing excellent performance against close to the edge shots and demonstrating compliance with NIJ STD 0101.06, including the 30 minute water submersion test.
FBI crime statistics confirm that stabbing and cutting weapons are just behind firearms as the most likely threats to be faced by law enforcement, security personnel and corrections officers. While the death rate from attacks by stabbing weapons is lower, the overall injury rate is higher resulting in increased insurance costs and employee downtime.
The new MT-PRO addresses the additional threats without making the panels noticeably heavier or less flexible. Comfort is an important consideration for people who have to wear body armor for extended periods of time, particularly in hot climates.Those who work in corrections, law enforcement and security will appreciate the comfort and extra level of stab protection offered by the MT-PRO one of the few products to be officially certified to stop the HOSDB P1 Blade at 15 Joules (<20mm) and a hypodermic needle at 5 Joules, according to VPAM KDIW 2004.

Caleb Hamilton has shown how far dedication and a lot of hard work can carry a high school wrestler. As a senior, the North Hall grappler has become an anchor for his team with 44 wins and 30 pins, heading into tonight's matches against Habersham Central and Winder-Barrow for Senior Night in Gainesville.
That's quite a leap from a kid that never won a match in middle school, but continued to wrestle simply out of love and respect for the sport.
On Saturday, Hamilton showed exactly what he means to his team when he swept through the Hall County Championships with seven pins in seven matches and finished the meet as champion of the 120-pound classification from the two-day meet at Riverside Military Academy.
"Seven straight pins is a pretty good run," North Hall coach Jay Hargis said. "If a kid can make it through the first round against Caleb, they're doing pretty good."
On top of a great personal accomplishment, Hamilton was also the wrestler that secured the Trojans' team championship at the Hall County meet.
Tied against Chestatee and down to the last weight class, Hamilton stepped to the mat and delivered just as everyone on his team knew he would.
North Hall's 39-35 win against the War Eagles was the sixth match, but secured the team championship with only one opposing school remaining on the weekend.
"It was a great feeling to help my team like I did this weekend," Hamilton said. "This is what I've worked for all season.
"Everyone on the team was treating me like a big superstar, but really it was the whole team that earned us the title."
This is crunch time in wrestling season.
The Area 4-AAA traditional tournament will be held Friday and Saturday at Elbert County High, followed by the Class AAA East state sectionals Feb. 8 at Morgan County High in Madison. The all-classification state championship meet is Feb. 13-15 at the Gwinnett Arena in Duluth.
The fire in Hamilton's belly this season is his desire to place at the state championships. Last year at 113, he was denied a trip to state after losing in the quarterfinals and consolation semifinals, placing fifth at Area — just one spot away from the top four needed to make it to state.
Hargis feels that had Hamilton made it to state in 2013, he would have placed fifth given the strength of Area 4-AAA.
However, North Hall's coach identified Hamilton as someone who would persevere through any challenge a long time ago. Last season, he was given the team award as the best practice partner for North Hall.
That hard work continued through the summer when Hamilton trained with the goal to make it to state and place in 2014.
He enlisted the help of assistant coach Patrick Holcomb, and received training from Jefferson High grads Cam and Cason Thurmond, brothers who won a combined five state titles in their careers with the Dragons.
"They really worked with me on remaining mentally tough and how to train," Hamilton said, "to make sure to keep my hands on the opponent at all times."

But all that early morning worry and effort is about issues a lot more subtle than wanting people in the office to fancy you. Rarely is it even about anything as simple as looking good for the sake of it. We don't get up on a Monday morning and think, I want to look drop-dead gorgeous for work today. But we can scarcely ignore attractiveness: in a culture that places a premium on appearance, some of the value afforded to beauty is inevitably carried over into the workplace and the job market.
Yet for women at work, appearance is also fraught with issues about looking appropriate, looking "the part". This complicates matters enormously and is the reason why, while getting dressed for an evening can be a fun activity, getting dressed for work is a chore, the first thing that furrows our brows of a morning.
In the 1980s, when the issue of women in the workplace was a "sexy" news item, the reference points were clunkily naive. The male office uniform of the two-piece suit was directly translated to fit women, the shoulder-heavy silhouette reproduced on the female form with foam shoulderpads. To this were added a few common-denominator signifiers of femininity: high heels, outsize pearl earrings, glossy red lipstick. It was unsophisticated marketing, the sartorial equivalent of the hefty paperback book covers embossed with gold lettering that flourished around the same time.
Over the past decade, however, as women's presence in the workplace and in public life has become normalised, and as work culture becomes increasingly fluid and informal, women's appearance in the workplace has shifted to become an extension of how women dress anyway, rather than a drag queen parody of men at work. There has been a shift towards "softer dressing": in many workplaces, cardigans stand in place of jackets, T-shirts or sweaters in place of shirts. A small industry has grown up out of a minor cult of jewel-coloured velvet and silk scarves, as worn by TV presenters and public figures to "soften" their look.
While this look is more overtly feminine than the previous power dressing aesthetic, it is perhaps less obviously sexual. Being more natural, it is somehow less eroticised. But it carries new problems, about whether the wearer is perceived as serious or, more specifically, as a person to be taken seriously. A too-keen interest in fashion is the 21st-century equivalent of novel-reading in the time of Jane Austen: an indicator of a slight intellect and flighty temperament. And somehow, a cardigan just doesn't convey the authority of a jacket.
Anyway, sex can never be erased from the equation where appearance is concerned.With clothes, it is almost impossible to disentangle sex from status: think of high heels, a signifier of wealth that has become a symbol of sex. Or of tailoring: once, close-fitting clothes were available only to those who could afford the seamstress's fees.
Sex and status, power and presence: all of these feature in the messages layered within our clothes and make-up. It's not easy, finding an outfit that would meet the approval of your boss, your best friend and Giorgio Armani, all before 8.30am. Sometimes it's hard to be a woman.

Monongahela police said they saw Kendall Dupree, 34, 180 Morton St., New Eagle, getting into a car driven by Jessica Larose, 24, of 444 Chesnut St., Monessen, at Cherry Way just before 6 p.m. Saturday.
Officer Ryan Lenzi said he followed the silver Ford Taurus before stopping Larose in the 700 block of West Main Street because the car had an expired registration sticker.
Lenzi said Dupree, seated in the right, rear passenger seat, was acting suspiciously and "appeared to be shoving something into his waistband."
Lenzi said he obtained identification information from Larose and her boyfriend, Eric Hill, 35, of 444 Chesnut St., Monessen.
Hill, who was in the front passenger side, had been released Saturday morning from the Westmoreland County Prison after serving time for a probation violation, Lenzi said.
Lenzi said Dupree claimed he did not have a photo ID. Asked his name, Dupree allegedly said he was James Dawson.
Lenzi immediately placed Dupree under arrest for providing false ID to law enforcement and obstruction of justice.
Lenzi said he searched Dupree and found a wad of cash totaling $581 and paper commonly used to wrap bricks of heroin.
Lenzi said that once he saw the packaging paper, he suspected Dupree was in the process of selling or transferring drugs.
Lenzi said Larose gave police permission to search the vehicle and he found a Pepsi can in the passenger side door compartment with something floating inside.
Lenzi said he cut open the top of the can and found six empty stamp bags, which are commonly used to package heroin.
Larose allegedly told Lenzi the stamp bags "may have been from her friend who shot up in the car earlier." Hill and Larose were arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia.
"Her story wasn't matching up with what she originally stated," Lenzi said. "We had enough probable cause to suspect there was something more to the story."
Lenzi said he and Officer Steve Kenyon walked Dupree between two buildings for a second search that revealed a solid object in the front of the suspect's boxer shorts.
Kenyon allegedly found three bundles and one brick of suspected heroin – the equivalent of 80 stamp bags – wrapped in the same type of packaging papers found earlier.
The three were taken to the police station and arraigned at midnight via video by Magisterial District Judge Gary Havelka of Burgettstown.
Dupree is charged with 80 counts of possession with intent to deliver and possession of a controlled substance, eight counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, and single counts of conspiracy, obstructing administration of law and false ID to law enforcement.
He was sent to the Washington County Correctional Facility in lieu of $50,000 bond.
Larose and Hill each were charged with six counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and one felony count of conspiracy. They were jailed in lieu of $10,000 and $20,000 cash bond, respectively.
All three have preliminary hearings scheduled 10 a.m. May 12 before Magisterial District Judge Mark Wilson in Monongahela.
In the past week in a series of traffic stops, Monongahela police have confiscated more than 10 bricks of heroin, five grams of cocaine, marijuana and two loaded handguns.
"It's a combination of things. Right now, I've got a good group of young, aggressive police officers," police Chief Brian Tempest said Sunday.
"Sometimes, you have to be in the right place at the right time.
"More importantly, these guys are being observant, and during routine traffic stops they're looking for telltale signs (of drug possession)."

I recently checked out Ludum Dare, and was kinda surprised to find that many games are made using Game Maker. I recall that Yo Yo Games bought it, but looks like there's a possibility to compile Game Maker games into HTML5 now... Sounds pretty nifty. Sure, there are a bunch of game development libraries for traditional programming as well, but GM always astonished me with how powerful and quick to use its simple drag-and-drop design is.

However, once the kids came along I suddenly found I had no time whatsoever for anything. So if the phone needed some attention, it just stayed like that. I also found that my particular phone was very slow getting into the camera which meant I missed shot after shot of the kids doing cute things. So I got iphone and haven't looked back.
Now, some of this is negated by the latest round of high end Android phones which may be even slicker and faster than an iphone. But I still think the iphone gives a more consistent experience, mine always stays responsive.
iphones are expensive, and when you look at the specs you wonder where the money is going but I think Apple focuses on the user experience rather than the pure specs. There may be a time when I move back to Android, but right now I'm happy with the Apple stuff I've got and I wouldn't mind a bit more :)

Young developers always seem to dislike SAD, requirements engineering and documentation, and turn up their nose at concepts like domain modellin or TDD. Even though these methods ultimately are there to help define the user experience.
Based on your description, looks like courses such as Software Design and Engineering will literally pay off!
Now that school is on break, there's finally time to tinker with my own projects! Perhaps a neural network design tool... I have a base ready for the logic, but unfortunately the package structure is not working quite as intended. The code compiles and runs, but Eclipse has problems figuring out the visibility quirks. If you're interested, check it out on GitHub!

Today was a very proud day for me. My daughter (aged 3.5) played one of my games for the first time. She's into the Disney princesses so of course the game of choice was Rapunzel's Escape. To my amazement she actually liked it and we had a great time with it. She even got her actual Rapunzel doll up to the screen, willing it to grow it's hair like the character in the game. Hard to believe it's getting on for 11 years ago that I wrote that game.

I wonder if in ten or twenty years someone will play the games I made as a wee lad back in 2002-2006... It still blows my mind that Steam actually has a bunch of games made with Game Maker nowadays.

...Well, a quick update on how life is going at my end:
Third year of CS studies behind me, I'm starting to feel more and more like an adult. Taking a more professional approach in my networking, I managed to land a summer job at a company producing high-speed database solutions for the food industries.
I've finally had the opportunity to study interesting courses and my motivation was through the roof all year long. Some of the things I did include software architecture design, computer graphics (rendering), business related things, working on some projects, sharpening my English and Japanese skills, etc. Having a bunch of programming experience behind me and a decent grasp on the basics, I thought that it was about time for more advanced subjects. :)
I'm also astonished at the great strides of AlphaGo and the AI community as a whole. Many players were saying that it will take 5-10 years before computers beat humans in Go, and it just suddenly happened. Will this be the case with when we cross the boundary of AGI as well? Dangerous but interesting times ahead, perhaps.
Finally, I also went through with the decision of quitting competitive gaming. My hands have hurt from sessions of excessive gameplay recently, and overall the feelings I get from tournaments these days are nostalgic rather than exciting. When faced with the choice of becoming #1 in whatever hot game of the year, or becoming #1 in developing applications that border the boundaries of human development, I think that it's clear that some sort of change was needed. I still enjoy board games though, especially in the play-by-mail format.
I would think that this is a fairly common transitional phase to go through for young adults in the modern age. Therefore, if the folks here have any comments, I'd be more than happy to hear them. :)
Guess that's it for now.
Signing off,

Went thought my old suggestions to see if I could find some of the old projects online; no dice, considering I used expiring links since they were alphas.
On a side note, I did stumble on a comment reminiscing the old good days. It's a thing of the past by now, but back in the day of 2010 we had that brief month of over 1000 comments each week (along with roughly a dozen suggestions)! It was insane, and of course I and many more read every single one. It still blows my mind when I think about that.
I wonder how things were in 2006 and 2007 when the SDB was new and fancy? Not that it still isn't one of my favourite web systems. :)

There are several options; downloading Adobe's Shockwave site, downloading the game's .dcr, and then running it locally might be your best bet. Using Merlin Open to play custom maps (found from the Downloads page) is another option; it comes with all you need.
Unfortunately games like MR Evolution and Created most likely won't work like that, as they need to access the website.
♪, wow, it's been like, a year???!!??!?
Congratulations, being able to work at Amazon sounds awesome! Seems like you landed a big one. :)
As for myself, I came back from a month-long vacation in Japan. The trip was so fantastic that my current feelings regarding the same old Finland are quite mixed. I'll try to get some photos online at some point, but this week I'm loaded with both work and studies; it's going to be pretty busy, to say the least.
Everyone, if you still enjoy games, go play Undertale. It's overrated and overhyped, and many people have many opinions about it, yet it feels underrated and is an incredible game under the hood.

However, if we will recommend games, then I must recommend Dominions 4. It is a very detailed strategy game and has enough content to keep one entertained for many hours. It also includes multiplayer.
I also recommend not believing my review and seeing for yourself if you like it because the game is not cheap.
25 Sep 2016 [comment_44481]megaman4ever
However, that price tag is definitely a bit high. I think I'll stick to the loads and loads of fantastic free games (like MR??!?) until they run out :)

My second and final child is now 2 years old so we are "out of the baby zone". This is the first chance I've had to look at the site since he was born, the last time I did any work on the site was 2 years ago.
I am hoping (and for now it's only a hope, not a plan) that I will gradually start to able to do some things here again. It will never be fully back to the good old days because I have a full time job and family etc etc. But I am hoping to be able to do something...
It's time to drop shockwave. Actually it was time in 2002 but it's really definitely absolutely time now so any new games from me will be developed in JavaScript. So, I won't be looking to make any significant changes to Merlin's Revenge but rather start something new in js. JavaScript gives the best coverage without having to export or do anything fancy. If it runs on Firefox on Windows it will run anywhere. (No doubt that statement will be dis-proved over and over again lol.)

In all seriousness, good to hear from you! Guess the baby zone is some serious business. :)
If you end up developing an open-source game in anything else than Lingo, let me know. I would love to join as a contributor and sharpen up my JS skills! Not to mention building up the contribution chart on GitHub! One can see the timing of my winter and summer vacations quite clearly from here, lol: https://github.com/mmKALLL/

Looks like I opened some sort of Pandora's box here, folks.
Behold, my very own game website in image form, painstakingly handcrafted with the newest of new HTML1:
Well, that's pretty cool.
There are several points of interest here, I think. Considering that the website was made in 2006 at the age of 12, perhaps a few years after the homepage boom, it's pretty cool.
First off, these days I would rather use Game Maker than C++ for creating games. It seems like a very popular choice for building simple JS-based things recently - most likely the transpiling would not be able to handle anything of MR's scale, but maybe in a year or two even that might be feasible with some optimization. Either way, I'm glad to have actually made a lot of cool games (and learnt Java, and later a dozen of languages) than have spent years figuring out C++. :)
Grab the demo, except it's actually fuller than the full version? Pay what you want? Successful advertising much?
MR Fangame Kit was great. I played the old-but-surprisingly-not-terrible summoning spell fangame and woah, it was actually pretty decent. I wonder what my game-making buddy back from elementary school is doing these days; maybe I'll send the guy a message.
As for Chase Game, I wish all of my projects would be quickly done because of no uncovered bugs... ;)
Unfortunately my promise of weekly updates did not last for long, but making games back then was definitely a blast.
Guess this reminded me of why I enjoy programming in the first place? That it might not matter what it is that I'm developing, as long as it's really awesome to do it?
Steve, thanks for the inspiration and numerous kind words to the whole community along the years. Hopefully my next webpage will be as full of enthusiasm as this one. :)
By the way, turns out that there is now a tool to make old Game Maker 6.1 games work on 64-bit Windows machines: http://help.yoyogames.com/attachments/token/lsj0pmbzqeu64hf/?name=GM_Convert_Game.zip

Steve, congrats on kids! (perhaps slightly belated there)
It kind of seems like everybody's gone on to study techie things? Well, no exception here.
To join in with the update-fest: I'm not so focused on games and coding as I was back in the days when this place inspired me so much, but I've def carried on in the same kind of direction. Really enjoyed finally learning some programming while studying Engineering at uni (C++ - the teacher said that if we could learn that off the bat then we should get the knack of learning other languages as we need them). Just this summer graduated my masters degree in Information & Computer Engineering.
...and right now I'm kind of floating, having (for various complicated reasons) needed to take some time out. But applying for jobs in control engineering, so who knows I might have more to say in a while :P
Anyway that's me. Really cool to see some people still keeping this place active!

Speaking of which, the kids are not babies any more so I'm starting to think i might be able to find some time to put into the site. I'm thinking of radically simplifying it and removing the old shockwave games. That technology has really run it's course by now. I'll work on a new JavaScript/php based game and I think its really important to establish a revenue stream up front this time, without that it's impossible to sustain the commitment of effort for myself and other contributors.
The game and site will need to be mobile and desktop friendly. I'm thinking of something based in the merlins revenge world but playable on a phone. I wont say too much more about that now. I'm still a long way from starting, just thinking for now but it's good to be doing that much at least :)

As for making games, I'd totally be down for that. I don't think I posted these yet, but I participated in two game jams this year! Will be looking forward to Ludum Dare next week as well.
The games can be found from the following links:
Both games were made in just 48 hours, the first one in JS and the second one in C# using Unity. They both only take a few minutes to try, so I'd love to hear your thoughts on them. :)
They are also open source; I'm wondering if there are any places to look for code reviews on the JS game?

Duchess Catherine's sister, Pippa Middleton, 28, and her brother, James, took part in the annual 56-mile Vasaloppet cross-country ski race on Sunday to raise money for a children's charity.
More: Prince Harry's a hit in the Bahamas
Pippa, who finished in 412th place in the women's category, in a field of 15,800 male and female competitors, took 7 hours and 13 minutes to complete the course between the villages of Salen and Mora, around 200 miles northwest of Stockholm, reports The Telegraph.
During the race, Pippa stopped to drink the local blabarsoppa, or blueberry soup, a drink handed out to racers that is said to boost energy, reports the Daily Mail.
Stealing a kiss at the finish line was race steward Erik Smedhs, who grabbed a smiling Pippa and planted one on her check.
Pippa told reporters she had only prepared for the race for "a couple of weekends" and admitted it had been tiring. Smedhs, 20, told The Daily Telegraph: "I didn't really plan it, it was just a spontaneous thing. It's traditional to kiss the winner of the race, but I thought it would be funny to kiss Pippa when she finished. She just said 'thank you' and smiled."

MANASSAS, Va. (AP) — Re-enactors are wary of triple-digit heat forecasts in Virginia as they prepare to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Bull this weekend.
When the North and South clashed in July 1861 in the Civil War's first major battle, temperatures were in the 80s. Re-enactments planned for Saturday and Sunday will occur on days when the temperature is expected to rise above 100.
Re-enactors say they might take it a little easier on the battlefield, but will not sacrifice authenticity to beat the heat.
The National Park Service says it will not hold any of its outdoor programs for the anniversary from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Friday because of the heat. The re-enactment and other events are organized privately or through local governments.

Oh my word. I was passing a 'pre loved' shop when i noticed a shiny silver thing sitting on top of a fridge. It turned out to be a burco 33L boiler, and I liberated it for just £30
I've a question though; its got a variable temperature control but I can't see a thermostat so I'm suspicious about how well it knows what the temperature is. Does anyone know how it does this, or (probably more importantly) has anyone any experience in the accuracy of these things?
I'm thinking of using it to get my mash and sparge water to the right temperature when I go all-grain later in the year. If its not likely to be accurate enough I've got a tank thermostat with an alledgedly +/- 3degC accuracy that I could use if that would be better.

Strawberry Punch
This fruity drink is perfect for a summer party.
- Yield: Makes 1 1/2 Gallons
Source: Martha Stewart Kids, Spring
- 4 cups water
- 3 cups sugar
- 6 cups coarsely chopped strawberries
- 2 cups coarsely chopped pineapple
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 quarts seltzer water
Make a simple syrup: Combine the water and sugar in a large saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside until syrup is completely cool.
Transfer syrup to a large container. Add strawberries, pineapple, pineapple juice, orange juice, and lemon juice; gently stir to combine. Fill two ice-cube trays with punch, and place in freezer. Place remaining punch in refrigerator to chill.
When ready to serve, remove punch from refrigerator; add the seltzer water and frozen-punch ice cubes. If transporting, add the seltzer just before serving. Serve in a large bowl or individual glasses.
