SPORTS >> Colts win gamble on imperfection
I had wanted to use this space for a nice end-of-year column full of inaccuracies and smarmy clichés, like what the big-time sports columnists write.
But then, on Sunday evening, I logged on to my favorite social networking site and opened my fat mouth about the cowardly Indianapolis Colts, and Facebook swiftly became In Your Face-book.
Since Im not going to miss 2009 all that much, for a whole list of reasons that includes the recent weather, Id rather skip the sentimentality and keep the debate going.
What do you say? Lets send out the year with fireworks instead of champagne.
A few of my long-distance friends, including one expatriate Buffalo Bills fan living in Indianapolis, took issue with me for calling out the Colts over their decision to sacrifice a perfect season rather than risk their star players (i.e. Peyton Manning) in a meaningless regular-season game.
With Manning, who has passed for 4,405 yards and 33 touchdowns on the sideline for most of the second half Sunday, the Colts, who had clinched every possible playoff advantage, lost a 15-10 lead and were beaten 29-15 by the New York Jets.
The Colts fell to 14-1, gave the Jets a leg up to the playoffs and snarled things for several other teams.
And there, once again, went the chance to see something special in the NFL.
The league, with its explosive graphics and hyperbolic announcers, keeps telling us were watching the best sport in the world and just when we start to believe it, one of its best teams blows its chance to do something spectacular and just dares to be good.
Im already on record as saying I wanted to see a perfect team win the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1972 Miami Dolphins went 16-0. With the modern, expanded schedule, the Colts, had they gone all the way, would have been the first team to finish 19-0.
But with his team leading by five, first-year coach Jim Caldwell pulled Manning, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark and Joseph Addai to preserve them for the postseason run and the Jets rallied.
Im not irrational. I get it. You lose a lot of money and prestige if you dont win the big one, and you arent going to win it if you get key players hurt. You could be the Icarus of pro football, crashing to the ground with your wings aflame because you dared to touch the sun.
But what if everyone thought that way?
What if NASA held back Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from walking on the moon because they were thinking about the long-term future of the space program?
What if Eisenhower decided not to go for it in Normandy because the weather reports were bad and he didnt want to risk lives or his own military career?
You have to gamble to be great.
The space program gambled the lives of it astronauts and billions of dollars in the name of exploration and to capture the awe and imagination of the entire world.
Eisenhower gambled the lives of thousands of young men in order to free thousands more innocents who were living, or dying, under the tyranny of a few.
Are these extreme examples? After all were just talking about a silly game.
But thats my point.
If you cant take a risk and gamble to be great in a silly game, when can you?
There is a Super Bowl champion every year, but, as the creaky-kneed veterans of the 1972 Dolphins like to point out, there arent that many perfect teams.
Disappointed Colts fans booed their team Sunday, and I dont condone such disloyalty, but I understand how they feel. So do the Colts.
I probably would have booed too, center Jeff Saturday said. I dont blame them. They pay to come see us win games and we didnt get it done.
My Bills-loving friend in Indianapolis said the Colts fans need to keep their eyes on the prize which, presumably, is the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
That sounds a lot to me like the great line from Peter Gents dark and disturbing pro football novel North Dallas Forty.
Every time I call it a game you call it a business, a player screams at a coach after a tough loss. And every time I call it a business, you call it a game.
Sure the prize is the Super Bowl championship, but I submit the prize is also that bonus money (winning players got $83,000 each last year), that contract negotiation leverage, those commercial endorsements and that big bump in a teams merchandising revenues.
Those are nice things for the players, coaches, front office personnel and owners, but what do the fans get?
The fans get good, but not great. They get 18-1, if theyre lucky.
Oh well, we didnt want those moon rocks anyway.

A multi-pronged approach for supporting in-service educators with the integration of educational technology in a South African context PROCEEDINGS
Jeremiah Maseko, Rabaitse Diseko, Geoffrey Lautenbach, Duan vanderWesthuizen, Rand Afrikaans University, South Africa

The ubiquity of the use of ICT in education in developed countries does not extent to developing countries like South Africa. However, several initiatives exist that are changing this, and currently South Africa is the most wired country on the continent. The expansion of ICT places significant demands on the formal education system in terms infrastructure supply and educator professional development. The question is whether this system has the ability to respond to the needs in a sustainable manner. In this paper, a brief overview of some developments in this regard is given. Then, we highlight our own endeavours as an educator training faculty to respond to the needs of specifically in-service educators who are facing the daunting task of not only acquiring computer skills, but also of learning how to integrate ICT into their daily activities. Finally, we reflect on our efforts and offer some insights into the problems associated with entrenching ICT within educational contexts

Perry looks stunning as she shows off her body in a skintight spandex
The Part Of Me singer donned the sexy outfit for her performance at the
Formula 1 car racing event in Singapore on Sunday.
She wore the pit-girl style attire with a black belt to accentuate her tiny
waist as she belted out an array of tracks from her back-catalogue of hits.
Meanwhile reports claim that Katy has fallen for fellow singer John Mayer, 34,
in a big way, with growing concern from her friends over the relationship.
While Katy, 27, is meant to have originally wanted a casual romance with John,
things have since progressed to a new level for the pop princess.
A source close to the star told US gossip site Radar Online that her pals are
now concerned that she will end up broken-hearted and have urged her to end
the fling.
The source said: "Katy's friends and family haven't taken to John at all, in
fact they are worried that she is headed for heartbreak.
"She's been telling everybody who cares to listen how great John is and
it's clear that she is totally in love with him.
"At first, she was quite careful and said she wasn't ready for a relationship
and just wanted to have fun.
"But now she appears to have fallen dangerously in love with him and her
friends are concerned."
And it seems the fears for Katy's fragile heart stem from their brief break-up
after just a few weeks of dating.
The insider added: "Despite the fiery image Katy likes to present, she's
actually more fragile than that, and when John dumped her a few weeks after
they first got together she was devastated.
"Now that she has invested more feelings in John and has let her guard down,
there's only one way this can end – in disaster."

The Christiane I is a salvage vessel currently docked in Jakarta as part of the Find 815 Alternate Reality Game.
Sam Thomas had received an e-mail from a mysterious contact who is possibly connected to The Maxwell Group, and in this e-mail contained a photograph of Sam' partner, Sonya. Embedded within the picture, were several hidden messages, one of which was the words "Christiane I".
Sam contacted Tracey R in the hopes of gathering more information about the mysterious ship.
"Hi Tracey,
I need a favour: I'm looking for some information about a boat called "Christiane I". I can't say what this is for - sorry - just that it's very important.
Thanks, you're a lifesaver.
Tracey responded by saying that the ship was set to leave on an expedition in a few days but she couldn't find out where to, as the details are confidential.
Aren't you the mysterious one?
Anyway, I've tracked down the "Christiane I" - it's a salvage vessel currently docked in Jakarta. Apparently it's due to leave on an expedition in a few days but I couldn't find out where to - the details are confidential.
What's the story? Are you looking for a new job now you've left Oceanic? Nice work if you could tee something up for yourself in Indonesia. Look out Bali,
Take care

Wayne State responds to the Heartbleed Internet Security Threat April 11, 2014
The Internet security threat Heartbleed has been in the news since Monday, April 7. Passwords and personal information are said to be at risk of falling into unauthorized hands. Wayne State's IT specialists have responded to this threat on several fronts:
- Our Internet firewall is and has been blocking any outsiders that are trying to exploit the Heartbleed vulnerability to steal sensitive information.
- Our critical systems (Banner, Wayne Connect, Blackboard, Pipeline, Cognos, WiFi) do not run the vulnerable software, so the data and passwords used with these systems was not at risk.
- A few non-critical systems were vulnerable, and they were patched on Tuesday, April 8.
- The Wayne State VPN is vulnerable, and a scheduled upgrade of our VPN software on Sunday, April 13 will fix this permanently. Because WSU's Internet firewall is properly blocking attacks coming from the Internet, there is no risk from using the VPN until the permanent fix is applied.
Beyond Wayne State's IT environment, there are many websites that may be susceptible to the Heartbleed security threat. You may have heard security experts and media sites urging people to immediately change all of their online passwords. There are two different resources you can use to identify vulnerable websites:
- Mashable published a list of vulnerable social media, retail, and banking sites in their article The Passwords You Need to Change Right Now
- The password manger service LastPass has an interactive form to check a specific website for the Heartbleed vulnerability
Remember that legitimate emails will never ask you to respond with sensitive information such as passwords, Social Security number, or bank account number. If you have any questions, feel free to drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com.

By now, many producers have completed a great deal of this year's planting, and that means it is a good time to measure crop residues--the stems and stalks remaining from last year's crop. Last year's crop residue provides the most important cover for the soil during this critical time of year, shielding soil particles from erosion until crops can produce a protective canopy.
Knowing how to measure existing residue can give you a good idea of how well your soil is protected against erosion. And measuring residue as this year's crop emerges will help to ensure that you are implementing erosion prevention practices and in compliance with the objectives of your farm's conservation plan.
How much residue is enough at this time of year? For most soils, the higher the level of crop residue, the greater the benefits. But the consensus of most experts is that the most effective conservation tillage systems show at least 30 percent or more crop residue remaining after planting.
There are several methods for estimating residue. The most reliable is the line-transect method. The line-transect method involves counting the number of times a marked line intersects a piece of residue. To use this method, you need a 50-foot tape measure or rope or line with marks spaced at 6-inch intervals. Stretch the tape between two stakes placed diagonally at a 45° angle from the direction of the crop rows (be sure to exclude end rows from your sample). Walk along the tape and count the number of times the marks intersect a piece of residue. To guarantee accuracy, be sure to look from directly above the tape. When you are done, the number of counts can be converted directly to the percentage of crop residue remaining in that sample area. It is important to get a minimum of five measurements by using areas that are typical of the field that you are measuring. Then average the estimates to obtain the most accurate overall assessment.
Another method for estimating residues involves using a meter stick (or a yardstick with metric marks). Place the meter stick on the soil. Measure in centimeters the crop residue occurring along one edge of the meter stick, and total those measurements. For example, if the total residue occurring along the meter stick measures 35 centimeters, your percentage of residue remaining is 35 percent. Again, sample several areas of the field. Places where the measurements are taken can be determined randomly by throwing the meter stick over your shoulder.
The photo-comparison method can help you estimate your residue by comparing it with percentages in a photo that shows a known percentage of crop residue (see page 63). Be sure to look straight down when comparing the photos in your fields because your perspective from an angle will be misleading. Again, repeat your estimates at several sites and average them to ensure that you are getting a reasonable estimate for the entire field.
The calculation method described in the May 3 ICM newsletter is a good way to estimate residue without going to the field. But because there are many variables, including weathering and individual tillage operations, it is less reliable and provides only a rough estimate. If you do not have the time to do an estimate on a field-by-field basis, a general estimate can be made by using the table from the May 3 ICM newsletter, page 50.
Finally, remember that planning residue cover begins in the fall as you harvest. Make certain that your combine is properly set to distribute residues evenly over the crop field. Residues are your only protection against fall, winter, and spring precipitation and potential erosion. Also, consider reducing the number of tillage passes because every tillage pass buries additional crop residue.
If you have any questions about measuring your crop residues, please feel free to call your local Soil and Water Conservation District office.

Amar Sagoo has posted a fantastic summary of 1997's Handbook of Human-Computer Interaction... specifically its sections on optimal keyboard design. Sagoo supplements this with many of his own observations. It's a fascinating dissection of the qualities that contribute to the perfect keyboard, jettisoning vague complaints about keyboard "smooshiness" in favor of highly objective haptic terminology like "clickiness:'
One of the most-cited criteria for keyboard aficionados to prefer a certain keyboard over another is "clickiness". The idea behind this is that a good keyboard should give you some tactile feedback when you've successfully "actuated" a key, and that you shouldn't have to depress the key all the way to the bottom to be sure, as this would not allow you to type very fast. Some keyboards don't click at all, some give a softer and others a sharper click. The exact behaviour can be described by a graph plotting how the physical force required to push the key varies along its way down and its way up. The sudden dip in force on the downstroke is where you will feel the "click".
Read the whole thing, it'll solidify your thoughts about your favorite keyboards.
Science of Keyboard Design [Amar Sagoo] (Thanks, Joel!)

The Detroit native rejects the offer after asking for $2 million, while the 'Bound 2' rapper demands '$1 million, plus plus plus a lot of other perks.'
Eminem and Kanye West have reportedly turned down offers to headline an NFL Owners party during Super Bowl weekend next February. Sources told TMZ that the organizers of the event wanted the Detroit rapper to perform for 1,500 lucky people in attendance.
However, they passed after Em's agents asked for $2 million. They then considered a performance from West, but his fee was also out of budget. "It was $1 million, plus plus plus a lot of other perks," a source said.
The party organizers eventually settled on Janelle Monae, who will perform for a more reasonable $150,000.
There will be several performers at various events in New York City during Super Bowl week. DJs and some big acts are going to receive $750,000 to $1 million for their services.

Tardy Parramatta Council gets an unwelcome gong
Page Tools
Parramatta Council has knocked Ku-ring-gai Council from its unenviable position of being the slowest council in the state to process development applications.
Ku-ring-gai held the dubious honour for two years but was slugged into second place by Parramatta, which takes an average of 159 days, or about five months, to process development applications, the 2003-04 annual report card on local councils has found.
Parramatta's Lord Mayor, Councillor David Borger, said: "[Since 2003] we've taken action to introduce a fast track system … We've introduced 41 recommendations to improve the flow."
But Ku-ring-gai Council's record has not improved much. The council came in a close second, clocking up an average of 134 days or 4½ months.
Councils are expected to process DAs within 40 days. If they take longer, cases can be taken to the Land and Environment Court for determination.
The Minister for Local Government, Tony Kelly, said yesterday that the time councils took to process applications was costing ratepayers and that councils should "lift their game".
Legal expenses, mainly incurred by fighting planning and development cases, cost councils $33.8 million in 2003-04, a 33 per cent rise on previous years.
"Where councils are incurring these expenses other services ratepayers should be getting are going unaddressed."
Sutherland Shire Council spent the most on legal fees in 2003-04, at $2.75 million.
Sutherland Shire's Mayor, Councillor Kevin Schreiber said: "Council will not bow to inappropriate or illegal development anywhere within the shire."
The report, released yesterday, comes as Mr Kelly considers applications for council rate rises. The average residential rate in NSW in 2003-04 was $605. Hunters Hill Council charged the most at $1054. About 17 applications for rate rises have been received so far. Results are expected in the next two weeks.

I was wondering if I answered this question correctly
#1-Two kinds of cell-transport are used in the process that forms ATP. Name the two types of transport and describe how they take place. Electron transport is not a form of cell transport.
#1- I think the passive and active transports are used in the process that forms ATP and I was wondering if that is correct.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was recently laid off and have a new job offer in a related industry but NOT the same line of products. My new company may be acquired within the next 60 days by a parent company that DOES have a competiting division & line of products. Although I am not in the division of the company with the competing product, nor will sell the competing product, would I be in breach of my non-compete with my old employer if this acquisition takes place duirng the first year my non-compete is still valid? How was I to know this company would be bought by a competitior in the future?
The answer may well depend on the language of your contract, so you'll want to have an employment attorney review it. If you had no information about this product line, I'd certainly question whether or not they have a legitimate interest to protect. The easiest way to get an answer is to tell your old company, in writing, that you have a job offer from this company and tell them that you don't believe it will be in violation of your non-compete. Tell them that, unless they object within, say, 72 hours from the date of your email or fax, that you'll feel free to accept. They'll either say fine, or say they object. Then you'll know whether or not you have a big decision to make. If they say verbally they don't object, confirm that in writing and say you're accepting relying on this representation. But I'd definitely suggest getting specific legal advice on your contract first.Ask a similar question

Right now I'm reading books about outer-body-experiences and working on training myself to induce/experience them at will during meditation. It's' going to take quite a bit of practice but I'm up for the challenge.Quoting: ANHEDONIC
I was once able to do this spontaneously.
I am now growing some Calea Zacatechichi to help me along. Do you approve of the use of this sort of herb? It may help.
I feel I am gimped spiritually and need it. I had an experience a long time ago that basically ended my ability to come out of body or lucid dream often. I basically was scarred spiritually by some sort of entity. It sounds crazy... but I think that is what happened.

Some really interesting experiences. I find my ego majorly panics when I become too aware. Not sure ill get thru that panic but I'm trying.Quoting: Marie 32913103
Now when I was around 9, I saw several orbs in person. Back then the term wasn't even used that I knew of. They were bright white light, about the size of a basketball and above me. It scared me sooo much. Even now I would question the memory but an adult with me saw them also. Many years later I saw a documentary on tv that talked about orbs. I freaked and said THAT'S what I saw!! Now I don't know what they were, but I can say that experience gave me hope there was more to this existence at some very low and dark times.
Those orbs were souls, glowing pearlescence balls with a suttle bit of electric blue. You can see them because you have psi-abilities.
I read somewhere (Samuel An Wor) I believe and they mentioned a cycle of lightness and darkness and when you lose the light you can become depressed even suicidal.
I think practicing unconditional love is key, and therein lies the challenge especially when you are being affected by dramas. But if its all a game, what does it matter anyway.

I know a lot of people seek this state, but you don't see a lot of personal accounts. I can say I've glimpsed this state, only to be sucked back into some emotional drama that I begin to identify with and find myself adrift in ego land. I recently had a very difficult heart breaking breakup that GLP helped me with, and it has lead me back into serious meditation and seeking God as my primary goal. It's funny how it takes being brought down so low before we make this a priority. But that is the ego I guess.Quoting: Marie 32913103
So any stories to share? What types of meditation or spiritual practice do you use to seek God/enlightenment? Have you reached this?
OP, yes it is very difficult to remain focused on the goal of enlightenment. I was making good progress, but I had been led there by years of pain, failure and illness.
Now I am making more progress in the physical world and have slacked off on my meditation.
You really cannot have both. You have to let go. So, for me, the time is not right to reach enlightenment, I guess.
I have obligations and goals to serve mankind, but it cannot be done if I'm homeless :P Well, maybe it could, but too many challenges are.... too many.

Memphis' youngest known rapist is so small his feet didn't touch the ground as he fidgeted on a Shelby County Juvenile Court bench Monday to face a judge.
The 7-year-old boy nonchalantly pumped his legs in the air waiting for the start of a hearing that would leave him in tears -- and in the care of strangers.
Beside him sat his co-defendant, a petite 9-year-old who chewed on his nails.
The two friends admitted to using an object to rape a 2-year-old girl in August while a group of neighborhood kids were at play in a South Memphis backyard. The victim's brother, age 5, told their mother.
The boys' families stood behind them in court with intentions to leave the hearing with their children.
But Magistrate Dan Michael ordered both boys placed in the custody of the state Department of Children's Services.
"Please don't take my child!" the mother of the 7-year-old wailed.
However, the judge already had ordered that DCS couldn't return either boy to his home without a full hearing in court.

Step 1: Replace a bad burner or socket
If one of your electric burners isn't heating, it could be a bad burner, a bad connection in the burner socket or a faulty switch.
To see if the problem is the burner, exchange the burner with one that you know works (Photo 1). If that burner won't heat, the problem is either the burner socket or the infinite switch. (The burner prongs plug into the burner socket.) Connections in the burner socket can burn out and fail to provide power. If the prongs look burned, inspect the socket. If the socket looks charred or burned, replace it. Photo 2 shows how to replace a burner socket.
CAUTION: Always unplug your electric range before working on it.
Step 2: Replace the switch
The knob you turn to control the burner temperature slides over the shaft of the infinite switch. If the switch burns out, your burner won't get power. Test the infinite switch if you know the burner and burner socket are good but the burner still won't heat. We removed the back panel to access the infinite switch. Your range may be different. With the range unplugged, test the switch with a multimeter set to RX-1 (Photo 3). If the meter reading remains the same, the infinite switch is bad and should be replaced (Photos 3 and 4).

Don Sturm of Sturm's Berry Farm started farming berries at an early age, under the watchful eyes of his father and grandfather. This third generation berry farmer grows raspberries, black raspberries, red raspberries, Marionberries, blueberries, strawberries and blackberries on his farm near Corbett, Oregon.
In thinking about his grandfather and how he farmed, Don says that his grandpa would never have thought that today berries would be grown not only for great taste but also for their nutritional benefits. Don is learning how to make the most of our Oregon soil and clean water to produce a berry with the highest nutritional value
Don also uses 21st century technology to make sure folks who want to buy his berries have a way to get them. Sturm's Berry Farm website features an interactive map of the US so that buyers can compute the shipping on
every order of individually quick frozen berries from Sturm's
Berry Farm to wherever they live.
Look for Don, his wife Rosie and some of their children at NW Farmer's
markets like the Parkrose Farmers Market and the Lents Farmers
Market selling their fresh berries and delightful jams and syrups.
When not busy in the fields Don is an avid sportsman who loves to
hunt and fish.

You know the drill: just bear up with them
Real bears might have enjoyed a rather more friendly reception. As it was, Swiss police in Davos kept a wary eye on Greenpeace activists dressed as polar bears to protest against Gazprom, the Russian energy giant, and its drilling programme for oil in the Barents Sea. The campaigners, who oppose Artic drilling, claim the company "has already violated several federal safety and environmental regulations" and allege that it is not in a position to deal with a potential oil spill in the area.

By Adam Shell, USA TODAY
NEW YORK The stock market rally, which seemed tired last week, has gotten its second wind this week.
For the second day in a row, key stock indexes are up 1% or more, despite continued calls from Wall Street bears that say the rally can't last.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 131.50, or 1.50%, to 9,731.25. In the broader market, the Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 14.26, or 1.37%, to 1,054.72, and Nasdaq composite index rose 35.42, or 1.71%, to 2,103.57.
Tuesday's rally has been fueled by a surprise interest rate increase by Australia. The rate hike is being viewed positively by stock traders because it is the first major economic nation to boost borrowing costs since the global recession started. "It is further evidence that the global recovery is gaining momentum," says John Stoltzfus at Ticonderoga Securities.
That recovery theme was reinforced Monday, when a key September reading on the U.S. services sector not only topped analyst expectations, but hit a level that signals growth in the economy, as opposed to contraction.
The gains come on the evening of the third-quarters earnings season, which kicks off unofficially Wednesday with a profit report from aluminum maker Alcoa (AA).
Analysts are expecting a decline in third-quarter profits of 23% for Standard & Poor's 500 companies vs. a year ago. However, many Wall Street pros believe analysts' expectations are conservative, which would mean the chances for upside surprises are high.
A weak dollar pushed up prices of commodities, and gold jumped to a record high.
One trend profit trend investors will be tracking closely is revenue growth. In the previous two quarters, companies topped profit expectations mainly by cutting costs and laying off workers. This time investors want to see top-line growth, says Jeff Kleintop, chief investment strategist at LPL Financial.
"We'll be tracking the pace of revenue growth from the prior quarter," says Kleintop. "The rebound in the economy in the third quarter is likely to have helped drive results."

County runners dominate at NH meet
From Staff Reports
Sept. 17, 2007 - BIRTHRIGHT - Hopkins County runners blazed the cross country trail Saturday at the North Hopkins Invitational, dominating the boys and girls varsity races.
Sulphur Springs senior Tate Ramirez won the boys' 3.1-mile race in a time of 15 minutes, 49 seconds, while North Hopkins senior Jessi Mannis held off Como-Pickton's Bethanie Stinson to finish first on the girls' two-mile course.
Sulphur Springs won both the boys and girls team titles in the 4A-5A division, though it was just a two-team race with North Lamar. North Hopkins, meanwhile, won the girls A-3A division and finished second among the boys.
The runners in both the big school and small school divisions ran together, but finished in different chutes.
Ramirez won the overall race, beating Pleasant Grove's Will Barry by 16 seconds. Tyler Wilson, SSHS senior, was third overall and second in his division by finishing in a personal-best time of 17:07. He was just a few steps ahead of Sulphur Bluff's Everett Wilder, who came in at 17:10.
Rounding out the SSHS runners, Preston Weaver ran a personal best time of 18:07 and Garrett Gray finished in 18:26 to capture the top four places in the 4A-5A division. North Lamar's Travis Pugh came in fifth, then Sulphur Springs finished sixth-eighth: Chris White in 18:31, Andrew Wallace in 18:35 and Victor Gonzalez in 19:26.
In the small school division, Wilder came in second, with teammate Trey Henderson finishing sixth in 17:44 and Colt Nichols coming in at 19:11. Also running for the Bears was Gerardo Rodriguez, Ismael Gutierrez, Zach Hope and Jeremy Hatfield.
The Bears finished fourth in the team standings.
North Hopkins was led by Jose Cadena, who was fourth in his division in 17:24. Eric Perez came in eight in 17:54 and Lorenzo Rivera was 20th in 18:27. Other runners were Brandon Joslin, 27th in 18:56, Paco Castro, 35th in 19:26; Dylan Horne and Roger Sancho.
In the girls' big school classification, SSHS runners finished second-fourth with Ana Sanchez leading the Lady Cats in a time of 14:29. It was her first cross country race.
Senior Kelsey Evans was close behind in 14:34, and junior Katie Dodd finished in 14:50. Sophomore Kacie Crowson was sixth in 15:44, and sophomore Brittany Woolley was ninth in 16:22. The Lady Cats edged out North Lamar, 24-31.
In the small school division, Hopkins County runners finished in three of the top four spots. After Mannis and Stinson finished 1-2, Miller Grove's Stormy Combs came in fourth in 13:37.
North Hopkins easily won the team title by having its top five runners finish no lower than 21st. Cayla Newkirk and Scarlett Lozano were 10th and 11th in 14:44 and 14:45, respectively. Right behind them was Virginia Thomas in 13th place (14:49). Brittany Whaley and Blair Bassham finished in 21st (15:26) and 22nd (15:29) and Kaylee Flippen was 29th in 16:05.
Sulphur Bluff had one runner, Karissa Wolf, who came in seventh place in a time of 14:30.
Junior varsity and junior high results will be in Tuesday's edition of the News-Telegram.

Blood and Marrow Transplantation in Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Blood and Marrow Transplantation in Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Trials exploring high-dose chemotherapy for non-Hodgkins
lymphoma first began in the mid-1970s. It was not until 1995,
however, that autologous stem-cell transplants (ASCT) were shown to
improve the progression-free survival and overall survival of
patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse aggressive
non-Hodgkins lymphoma in a phase III randomized trial.[1] The
benefits of transplant therapy may extend to selected patients with
indolent non-Hodgkins lymphoma, with recent reports suggesting
a role for transplants when incorporated into the initial therapy of
patients with poor prognosis lymphoma.[1A]
Building on this theory, investigators are now focusing on four
important areas of clinical research. They include: 1) improving
cytoreduction with more intensive or targeted preparative regimens,
2) investigating the role of ex vivo purging, 3) re-exploring the
benefit of allogeneic transplants, and 4) clearly defining the
incidence of and risk factors for late complications after
transplantation in myelodysplastic syndrome and acute nonlymphocytic
leukemia (MDS/ANLL).
These four areas will become more important as transplant trials
shift from relapsed disease to initial therapy, with anticipated
benefits balanced against both short-term and long-term toxicities.
This article focuses on these areas and reviews the current status of
transplantation for both relapsed, diffuse aggressive, and indolent
non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
Diffuse Lymphomas:Current Transplant Indications
For the initial management of advanced, diffuse aggressive
non-Hodgkins lymphoma, CHOP chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide
[Cytoxan], doxorubicin [Adriamycin], vincristine [Oncovin], and
prednisone) remains the best conventional regimen.[2] Despite a high
remission rate, however, the 3 to 5 year progression-free survival is
only 40% to 50%. For those who fail or relapse after a remission,
conventional salvage chemotherapy produces remissions in the 50% to
70% range, but long-term remissions are seen in £
10% of patients.[3,4]
In early trials, ASCT for patients who failed initial therapy
produced a 3 to 5 year survival rate of 15% to 50%, with outcome
primarily related to prognostic factors present at the time of the
transplant.[1,5-10] Among the most important prognostic factors was
chemosensitivity immediately prior to transplant. For patients in
this group failing induction therapy, 3 to 5 year survival was 0%
compared to those patients with minimal chemosensitive disease in
whom 3 to 5 year survival was 35% to 50%.[5] The major cause for
failure was relapse, with rates of 54% to 84%[1,5-7,9,10] and in
those with chemosensitive first relapse (the best subpopulation),
relapse rates were 35% to 54%.[8,11]
The PARMA Trial
To further define the benefit of transplant for patients with
chemosensitive relapse, an international randomized trial (PARMA) was
conducted.[11] Patients who relapsed after a complete remission (CR),
but who had no evidence of marrow involvement were randomized (if
they responded to two cycles of DHAP chemotherapy [decedron,
high-dose ara-C [Cytarabine], and cisplatinum]) to one of these two
treatment groups: 1) continue DHAP for another four cycles with
involved field radiotherapy for bulk disease, or 2) undergo
autologous transplant using high-dose BEAM (BCNU, etoposide
[Carmustine], ara-C, and melphalan [Chlorambucil]), plus involved
field radiotherapy for bulk disease.
Patients who were randomized to transplant had a significantly higher
response rate (84% vs 44%), and event-free (46% vs 12 %) and overall
(53% vs 32%) survivals at 5 years. Because those randomized to
chemotherapy had the opportunity to undergo a transplant after their
second relapse, the improvement in survival suggests that transplants
should be performed after first relapse to be maximally beneficial.
A recent update and analysis of outcome using the age-adjusted
international prognostic factor index (IPI), demonstrated that for
patients treated with chemotherapy alone, there is a progressive
decline in disease-free survival with increasing IPI stage. Patients
in risk group 0 had a 36% 8-year survival rate, whereas those in risk
groups > 0 had a survival rate of 20%.[12] In contrast, no
difference in survival based on IPI was seen in the transplant group;
patients in risk group 0 had an 8-year survival of 47% vs 49% in risk
groups > 0. The data also suggest that for the 0 risk group,
either transplant or chemotherapy is acceptable, although these data
should be considered preliminary because the number of patients in
the two groups is small.
Transplants in Chemotherapy-Resistant Disease
While it is clear that ASCTs are of value for those with
chemosensitive relapse, the percent of patients with
chemotherapy-resistant disease who survive long-term is only 10% to
20%. Outcomes for patients failing induction therapy have been
reported to be even worse with essentially no survivors beyond 1
year. However, with improved conventional second-line chemotherapy,
this appears not always to be the case.
In particular, we recently reported that a subgroup of patients
failing induction therapy may have a significant long-term survival
if they respond to first salvage therapy.[13] In this retrospective
analysis, responding patients transplanted with less than 1 cm of
residual disease had a 2-year survival of 86% vs 7% for those with
residual disease greater than 1 cm. Thus, it appears appropriate to
treat induction failures with aggressive chemotherapy at the time of
failure. If a significant response is seen, a transplant should be
offered; if not, investigational approaches should be tested.
For patients who relapse but do not respond to salvage chemotherapy
(resistant relapse), transplants may be of benefit to some.[1,5-7,9]
However, when treated with conventional preparative regimens, less
than 20% will survive long-term.[5,6,7,9] Low tumor bulk does not
appear to improve prognosis for these patients, and those with
aggressive disease, ie, those who respond then regrow tumors between
cycles of salvage chemotherapy, are unlikely to benefit. As discussed
further, more intensive preparative regimens may be of value for this
patient group.

Energy Department physicists reported signs Monday of unexpected differences between ghostly neutrino particles and their antimatter cousins.
At a physics meeting in Athens, the MINOS experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator laboratory announced "the world's most precise measurement" of anti-neutrino oscillations. Neutrinos are tiny sub-atomic particles released by star's nuclear reactions and radioactive decay.
Electrically-neutral, weighing less than a millionth of an electron, and able to pass undetected through most normal matter, they come in three types and 1998 experiments showed they change from one kind into another. The MINOS experiment produces both neutrinos and anti-neutrinos, the antimatter versions of the particles, detectable in a Minnesota mine facility 457 miles away from the Fermi lab.
Instead of the neutrino and antineutrinos displaying the same mass characteristics, they seem to have an unexpectedly large 40% difference, the scientists reported:
"Everything we know up to now about neutrinos would tell you that our measured mass difference parameters should be very similar for neutrinos and antineutrinos," said MINOS's Rob Plunkett, in a statement. "If this result holds up, it would signal a fundamentally new property of the neutrino-antineutrino system. The implications of this difference for the physics of the universe would be profound."
Matter and anti-matter are thought only slightly vary in characteristics, a slight difference that explains why matter predominated in the universe after the Big Bsng, for example. The MINOS scientists caution that the results are only significantly the 95% confidence level, far short of the 99.9% standard that particle physicists typically demand from results.
"While the neutrinos and antineutrinos do behave differently on their journey through the Earth, the Standard Model predicts the effect is immeasurably small in the MINOS experiment," said MINOS's Jenny Thomas, in the statement. "Clearly, more antineutrino running is essential to clarify whether this effect is just due to a statistical fluctuation."

The Liars' plan to uncover the real identity of 'A' may go awry, while Aria considers to bail on her job and cheer up Hanna instead.
"Pretty Little Liars" is coming up with another idea to trap "A" in next week's episode. Though Spencer calls it a "suicide mission," Hanna insists on doing it so that they know how to attack him/her. However, with "A" always one step ahead, their plan starts to quickly unravel, leaving Hanna frustrated and desperate.
After getting a major clue from Garrett, Spencer tries to figure out the meaning of the clue and enlists Jason's help in the search. Spencer gets a nice "distraction" from her mission when Toby accompanies her, but things soon turn for the worse for Spencer since she is seen having a breakdown in a clip from the upcoming episode.
Meanwhile, Aria considers to cancel her job to cheer up Hanna who's still sad about her splitting from Caleb, but Ezra makes her realize that the gig is a big opportunity for her. On the other hand, Aria starts to question Ezra's sudden influx of cash.
Also in "Remains of the A", which will air Tuesday, July 17 at 8/7c on ABC Family, Emily gets another flashback from "that night" which leads her to a surprising suspect.

Russia, India Sign Weapons Deals Worth Billions
Source: Associated Press
Russia and India signed weapons deals worth billions of dollars Monday as President Vladimir Putin sought to further boost ties with an old ally.
Putin and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh hailed cooperation between their countries as officials signed a $1.6 billion deal for 42 Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets that will be license-built in India from Russian components and a $1.3 billion contract for the delivery of 71 Mil Mi-17 military helicopters.
In one notable example, in 2004 Russia signed a $1 billion contract to refurbish a Soviet-built aircraft carrier for the Indian Navy. While the deal called for the ship to be commissioned in 2008, it is still in a Russian shipyard and the contract price has reportedly soared to $2.3 billion. The target date for the carrier's completion was moved back again this year after it suffered major engine problems in sea trials. Russian officials now promise to hand it over to India in the end of 2013.
Last year, Russia lost a tender to supply the Indian Air Force with 126 new fighter jets worth nearly $11 billion to France's Dassault Rafale. And last month, Boeing won India's order for a batch of heavy-lift helicopters worth $1.4 billion.
As part of its cooperation with India, Russia also has built the first reactor at the Kudankulam nuclear power plant and is building a second unit there. The project has been delayed by protests by anti-nuclear groups and local residents.

From November - for those who missed it:
Noam Chomsky expresses solidarity with Kudankulam protesters
Manash Pratim Gohain, TNN Nov 2, 2012, 11.08AM IST
Internationally acclaimed academician Noam Chomsky of Massachusetts Institute of Technology of the United States has warned that Kudankulam could be another Bhopal disaster in waiting. In a solidarity letter to the struggling people he said: "Nuclear energy is a very dangerous initiative, particularly in countries like India, which has had more than its share of industrial disasters, Bhopal being the most famous."
"I would like to express my support for the courageous people's movement protesting the opening of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant," added Chomsky.
"The support of Chomsky came as a major boost to the fishing community of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka, who are unfortunately the first victims of the Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant," said T Peter, secretary, National Fish Workers' Forum. "We hope more and more groups and individuals will support the struggle."
"Chomsky is one of the most leading existing internationally renowned left intellectuals today. It is surprising that while such a great personality has expressed support to the Koodankulam struggle, the left in India is still confused about their stand on the hazards of nuclear energy," said Civic Chandran, activist writer. Chomsky's response came as a part of the efforts of the anti-nuclear activists to campaign on Koodankulam issue through the net in a unique manner through a well known website called www.countercurrents org. The site has been publishing posters using statements in support of the Koodankulam struggle from well known national and international personalities every day along with their photographs from October 11, onwards.

9. A very powerful India is a strong contributor to global peace
it's important to understand this. Time to wake up to this fact.
Since the seventies, the US has coddled pak and been laughed at in their face. India is the true, Democratic friend. Making it impervious to pak and the growing superpower china will make the region more stable. Without this, pak will continue to support insurgents in the region.
for decades, India complained about pak terrorist support - only Russia listened. The US played their, pak not perfect, but still our friend. hopefully finding the biggest criminal in US history - Bin Laden - inside pak should show the game pak has been playing with the US.
Which countries has India ever invaded? Which terrorists have they supported? Today, they are investing in technology, healthcare, agriculture, and even space exploration.

The app will allow you to view your balances and your last 20 transactions, make transfers between your accounts but most importantly, make payments to other personal accounts or organisations. To use the service you must already be a registered First Direct internet banking user and payments can only be made to those accounts that you have setup online already.
It looks like Apple isn't showing any iOS 4.3 love to the iPhone 3G. No formal announcement has been made about the lack of support but no official iOS 4.3 beta download has been made available either, not for iPhone 3G or the 2009 iPhone touch 2.
Would Apple really cut off the iPhone 3G with iOS 4.3 and not wait for iOS 5? Do you think iOS 4 performance issues are to blame?
According to a Boy Genius source, and as reported yesterday, iOS 4.3 will definitely be coming to all iPhones and include the Hotspot feature which we saw at the Verizon event yesterday. Accoring to the source, the OS version will be 8F5148b and will have a baseband 04.08.00.
Iomega has announced an alternative backup solution for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The device known as the Iomega SuperHero, takes the form of a normal charging dock. The major difference is the dock has an SD Card slot complete with a 4GB card. This on-board storage allows you to backup important data from your device.
RunKeeper Pro has been made available to everyone for free today. The offer lasts until the end of January 2011 so don't delay, go and grab yourself a copy of this fantastic app for free.
iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad having problems or just being buggy and unresponsive and curious how to restart or reset it? Strange as it sounds, just like a computer, restarting or resetting can solve a host of problems. We'll show you how after the break!
Apple has just released a significant update to its iBooks application. New in version 1.2 is the ability to experience fully illustrated books, be they children's picture books or books of beautifully designed art, you can now enjoy them in all their glory within iBooks. Another new feature is the ability to organise your books and PDFs into personal collections, this is also synched over the air to your other iOS devices if you have them.
Apple has launched its 12 days of Christmas promotion in the UK, an iTunes offer where Apple gives away a different free download each day. The download can be a song, music video, app, book, TV episode or even a complete film.
The promotion starts on December 26th and runs for 12 days. Each free gift will only be available for 24 hours. Apple also has a dedicated 12 days of Christmas app that is available today so you won't miss any of the give aways that start on the 26th. The app is a universal binary, so is compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch and ipad.
No news on availability in other countries yet but we are sure it will be coming soon!
MuscleNerd from the iPhone Dev Team has confirmed via Twitter that he has managed to get an untethered jailbreak working for iOS 4.2.1 devices. Currently the only jailbreak available for iOS 4.2.1 involves tethering your device to a Mac or PC in the event that your device needs a reboot. This could be problematic if you are out and are away from your notebook or desktop machine.
ipt4g 4.2.1 untethered JB w/4.2b3 kernel ... Wastes no exploits, but upcoming @comex JB maybe better
ipt4g 4.2.1 untethered JB w/4.2b3 kernel ... Wastes no exploits, but upcoming @comex JB maybe better
In order to use this method, you must have had your SHSH blobs saved with Cydia or TinyUmbrella, as the exploit uses iOS 4.2 beta 3. No news on the release date of this yet, or Comex's upcoming jailbreak, but we will let you know as soon as we find out.
The jailbreak will work with all iOS devices, the question is, do you want your 4.2.1 jailbreak right... or simply right now? Video after the break.

|Islamorada village of the islands - attractions, fishing, hotels & resorts in the Islamorada area - Florida Keys | Site Map
Islamorada vacation planning starts here
Islamorada is a short drive down the island chain from Miami and mainland Florida. The 'Village of Islands' boast the largest Florida Keys fishing fleet and one would guess that being dubbed the "Sport Fishing Capital of the World" makes that possible.
Islamorada means "purple isles" and from a look around at the resorts and shops you can indeed see what they are talking about. The area has a focus on fishing but there are plenty of other things to do and see on your next Islamorada vacation.
Islamorada fishing
Bonefishing and sailfishing are two of popular types of Islamorada fishing. There are many fishing tournaments held each year with these species as the target. These are catch-and-release tournaments, but there are plenty of other fish to be caught on the reefs and wrecks that are suitable for fresh dinner. Islamorada restaurants serve the freshest seafood and some will even cook your catch for a nominal fee.
Things to do in Islamorada
In addition to Islamorada fishing, there are plenty of other activities including water sports, kayaking, jet skis, parasailing, boating and sunset cruises. There are some great waterfront restaurants that are worth a visit if you want to see some of the local color of Islamorada.
Relax in Islamorada in the Florida Keys
If rest and relaxation is what you are looking for, Islamorada is the place. The entire Florida Keys will take you back to a place where you can relax and soak up the sun. The Village of Islands is home to fabulous Islamorada hotels, resorts and other places to stay where you can lounge on the beach or by the pool all day long and not have to worry about a thing.
We invite you to use the resources found here at FloridaKeys.com to plan your next Islamorada, Florida Keys vacation.

Hi everyone. I'm still looking for an author to write weekly articles for the ThemeForest blog. I've got Drew taking care of the "roundup" type articles. He's done a fantastic job.
Now, I just need one more author to write specific CSS /HTML/WP tutorials. If interested, go ahead and write a tutorial and email it to me at email@example.com.
It's important that you're as descriptive as possible and that you use plenty of images to help illustrate your points. We'll pay you $60 for each tut.
I am interested but maybe not on a weekly basis… I may send you a tutorial once in a while and if you think it's up to par post it in the blog.
Hey Jeffrey, awhile ago when you were looking for someone I emailed you but never heard back. I've emailed you about a couple of other things but never hear back. Are you getting my emails (email@example.com)?
I know you can't reply to everyone, I just wanted to know if you're actually getting my emails.
I e-mailed you with links to my Joomla! tutorials. I realize that Joomla! was not on your list but, seeing that you also offer these here on Theme Forest, it might be interesting as well.
@xmdsys – Strange. I don't recall receiving any emails from you. If you have something prepared, email it to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
@o_creative – Thanks! I'll take a look.
Why such a low pay rate? When PSDTUTS , NETTUTS etc…you make $150 per tutorial?
Hey Jeffery,
I've dropped you an email aswell. Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Why such a low pay rate? When PSDTUTS , NETTUTS etc…you make $150 per tutorial?How is this such a low pay rate? It takes me about 2-3 hours max depending on the style of post which comes to $20-30 per hour. Not to mention, its pretty easy and fun work, its for a great company, and you get a link to your site from a company with over 100,000 members.
The TUTS sites pay more as these posts tend to be more in depth and lengthy.
Yep. Just as Drew said; An article/tutorial for NETTUTS would need to be about twice as long and much more advanced.
Assuming it takes two hours, $30 an hour is pretty good! Keep in mind that I also invite my ThemeForest writers to contribute to NETTUTS as well.
Hey Jeff,
When do you think you'll be getting back to everyone?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/4/2014 (1208 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Appointments are available for a mobile breast screening clinic in St. Eustache from Tues., April 15 to Thurs., April 17.
CancerCare Manitoba BreastCheck program development and education manager Kristin Bergen said women aged 50 to 74 years in the St. Eustache can call 1-800-903-9290 to book a screening.
According to information on the BreastCheck web site, research shows that having a mammogram once every two years can lower the risk of breast cancer deaths for women in this age group by 25 per cent.
"It's the best way to detect cancer early," Bergen said.
To help women achieve this two-year guideline, Bergen said, CancerCare
Manitoba arranges for mobile clinics to be held in rural communities on a regular two-year basis. The St. Eustache clinic will be located in St. Eustache Manor, 248 Provincial Rd.
Bergen said an appointment usually takes about 30 minutes. Approximately 95 per cent of mammograms show normal results and letters are sent to the patient and her doctor indicating this.
"If there is a need for further investigation, we will call them," she said.
While the two-year screening is important, Bergen said, she advises that women also monitor their breast health between screenings, and contact their doctor if they find anything unusual.

ENG 389.60 William Blake's Poetry and Art
Section 900 M, W 1:00-2:15 (Allow for travel time) Prof Lattin
Code#4715 35 West 67th Street
This course focuses on the composite art (poetry and design) of William Blake's illuminated books. William Blake is unique in the world of art in that he combined the arts of engraving, painting, and poetry, creating individually hand-crafted books. We will study these works using facsimile editions and Internet reproductions from the William Blake Archive (blakearchive.org). Class discussion will be an important part of the course.
ENG 390.85 Literature
and Film
Section 900 M,
3-5:40 (Allow for travel time) Prof Lattin
Code#4719 35 West 67th Street
This course focuses on the presentation, interpretation and adaptation of literature into film. Students will study six works of literature (Shakespeare's Henry V, Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Morrison's Beloved, James' The Turn of the Screw, Austen's Emma, and Shelley's Frankenstein). Each student will be responsible for the reading of the literary works and the viewing of nine films ( Whale's "Frankenstein," Condon's "Gods and Monsters," both Olivier's and Branagh's "Henry V," McGrath's "Emma," Silverstone's "Clueless," Coppola's "Apocalypse Now," Bolt's "The Turn of the Screw," and Demme's "Beloved"). Class discussion will be an important part of the course.
ENG 390.76 Understanding the Sixties: Literature,
Music, Culture and Politics
Section 900 Prof Goldstein
Code#4681 Friday 3:45-6:15 HW 214
This course will explore major movements associated with the '60s, including the counterculture, the sexual revolution, the New Left, black power, and pop art. We will consider the roots of 60s sensibility, from the Beats, hipsters, and existentialists of the postwar era to the folk, blues, and R&B traditions. We will examine the philosophical currents of that decade through some of its leading literary figures, including James Baldwin, Allen Ginsberg, Marshall McLuhan, Herbert Marcuse, Susan Sontag, and Tom Wolfe. In addition, we will view works of art and scenes from films that were significant at that time. These artifacts will be examined alongside pop music with a similar spirit, so that they can be experienced in counterpoint. Specific songs will be presented against material from other media in order to make their congruencies clear. I will use my own interactions with important rock creators-such as the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison-to bring the era alive, leaving you with a new perspective on how the music and the values of the '60S were related. And hopefully it will be groovy.
HIST 151 U.S. from the Colonial Era to the Civil War
Section 900 T/F

HIST 384.61 Hitler's Germany 1919-1945
Section 900 T/F
9:45-11:00 HW 207 Prof.
In early 1933 Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of the German Reich, launching a twelve year period in which Germany would drive the world toward the most devastating war in its history while also carrying out history's most infamous campaign of genocide. The questions of how and why such a regime could come into being in an advanced modern democracy remain both urgent and controversial. This course will deal with some of the major issues in understanding this catastrophic period in human history. Readings will include both primary sources in translation and secondary sources. By the end of the course students should have a good command not only of the basic narrative history of the Nazi era, but of some of the debates which it has aroused among historians and others. Students will be expected to produce an extensive research paper and contribute regularly to class discussions.
HIST 250.77 American War/Vietnam War
Section 900 T/F
2:10-3:25 Profs. Rosenberg and Belsky
Code#4504 HW 508
For most Americans, "Vietnam" refers to a war not a country. Indeed this still-controversial war proved a transformative event in the history of postwar America, reconfiguring the country's engagement with the world and altering the fabric of domestic society and culture. In Vietnam, the implications of the struggle, which is known as "The American War," are still more profound. From a Vietnamese perspective, the war against the United States was an epochal development, which had a dramatic impact on the political, social, and cultural life of Vietnam and its people.
This course takes the war (broadly defined) as its subject, and seeks to examine the experience from the perspectives of the Vietnamese and the Americans. Among the subjects to be considered are Vietnamese colonial history and the rise of nationalism; the origins and conduct of the war (how and why it was fought and by whom); the war's impact on both societies; and American and Vietnamese memories of the conflict. The class will explore these topics through primary documents, secondary readings, and literature.
HONS 201.55 Jerusalem Under the British Mandate
Section 01 M,
Th 1:10-2:25 Prof.
Code# 4141 HW413
British rule in Palestine commenced on December 11, 1917, when General Sir Edmund Allenby, having routed the Turkish army, entered the Old City of Jerusalem on foot. It ended on May 14, 1948, when the last British convoy formed outside the King David, the Union Jack was lowered, and the Red Cross flag was raised on the roof of the hotel. The euphoria experienced at the commencement of British rule was matched by the fury that accompanied their departure. Hopes of peace and prosperity were replaced by the struggle to survive in a city once again under siege.
Jerusalem was the center of British rule in Palestine. There the High Commissioners who were appointed by the Colonial Office tried to improve on the records of previous conquerors of the city. Most believed that as the paramount power in the region, Britain had obligations to all its peoples. From the beginning, they shared the sense of awe recorded in 1926 by Stewart Perowne, who went to Palestine as the secretary to the Anglican Bishop:
The moment I arrived…he drove me straight up to the top of the Mount of Olives, and there we looked down on Jerusalem, lying before us like a beautiful jeweled model…unforgettable to this day…you felt you were very much part of the original Palestine, that you might find Rebecca at the well, or the woman of Samaria coming out…literally, I mean one had that feeling, a tremendous sort of feeling…that the Holy Land was still Holy.
All of these feelings—of innate superiority, of their honorable mission, and of the sense of holiness, would be sorely tested during thirty years of reality in Jerusalem.
Using a wide variety of sources—architecture and urban planning, art and media studies, memoir and letter writing, political science and history, we will focus on the evolving communities of Jerusalem, their growing sense of identities, and the changing image of the city in the West during the years of British rule.
Grades will be based on three components—class participation (25%), oral presentation (25%), and final paper (50%). The final paper must include both primary and secondary sources.
NOTE: This is a one-time opportunity to take a seminar offered by the Thomas Hunter Honors Program (THHP). Taking this seminar does not imply acceptance into the THHP. It will, however, count as one of your MHC honors courses. If you wish to take this course, obtain your advisor's permission and then contact Sarah Jeninsky at 212-772-4127, or by e-mail at email@example.com.

This seminar undertakes a comprehensive comparison of western vs. eastern perspectives on various psychological and psychotherapeutic issues. In what ways are these two "psychologies" alike and in what ways do they strongly differ? Can eastern, particularly Buddhist, understandings inform our own models and theories? Is an integration possible or even desireable? These and other questions will be explored along with topics such as : the meaning of "self," formation of identity, personality vs. essential qualities, depression and the handling of difficult emotions, dealing with uncertainty, intimate relating, meditation, psychotherapy, and how people change. Class discussions, presentations, and experiential exercises are an integral part of this course format.

Section 900 T 4:10-6:40 (Allow for travel time) 35 West 67th Street Prof.
Code#3005 Open only to juniors and seniors
Since the 1960s, profound shifts in the economy have propelled American women into the workforce. A powerful second wave of women's rights advocates also drove important changes in cultural norms. But whatever the larger trends at play, gains for women that we often take for granted today would not have happened without the full force of laws that prevent sex discrimination in education, employment, health care, and basic obligations of citizenship. This seminar will place a gender lens on public policy and examine the major innovations through which American women in the course of two generations have secured critical rights and opportunities. It will present case studies of landmark legislative and judicial victories in the recent history of U.S. women's rights that have contributed to overall social and economic well-being, and it will feature guest conversations with some of the pioneering advocates who made these gains possible. Students will be required to present papers or prepare sophisticated audio-visual presentations that address still unresolved matters of inequality for women. Open only to juniors and seniors with basic coursework in political science, history, and/or women's studies.

Washington, DC—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made the following statement today after the U.S. Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008. President Bush vetoed the first version of the bill late last month:
"Democrats have again sent the President a bill that makes America safer, restores our military's readiness and honors our veterans. After having vetoed the bill in December, we urge the President to sign this legislation and begin to rebuild our military.
"This bill gives our troops a well-deserved 3.5 percent pay raise and improves the health care and benefits we give our recovering veterans, service members and their families. It also addresses the military readiness crisis caused by President Bush's flawed war strategy, gives our troops the equipment they need to safely do their jobs, and strengthens our counterterrorism operations along the Afghan-Pakistani border to help fight Al Qaeda and capture Bin Laden. This bill begins to take the necessary steps that will make our country safer and provide our heroic troops with the care and support they deserve."

The Veggie Table: Vegan Pumpkin Alfredoby Janel Ovrut Funk in Healthy Recipes, Vegan, November 29, 2010
Canned pumpkin: It's not just for pumpkin pie! It is rich in fiber, vitamin A, and blends great into muffin mixes, soup and numerous other pumpkin possibilities. Use up leftover Thanksgiving pumpkin puree for a big batch of light, comforting vegan pumpkin alfredo. The sauce is so rich and creamy, you'll wonder how there isn't a dollop of dairy in sight.
Vegan Pumpkin Alfredo
Serves 8
12 ounces whole-wheat pasta (1 bag or box)
1 large or yellow onion, diced
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup lite silken tofu
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp salt
2 ground, dried sage leaves
Ground black pepper to taste
Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, saute diced onion in olive oil until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, combine all remaining ingredients together in a food processor and blend until smooth.
When pasta is finished cooking, drain, rinse and return to pot. Add sauteed onions. Add the sauce into the pasta until the desired pasta/sauce ratio is reached. Top with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Reserve any leftover sauce for another use.

On Wednesday, April 21, 2010, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act, a landmark bill that significantly improves the lives of veterans. "This historic legislation makes dramatic improvements to the care of our nation's veterans, including extending mental health benefits to all members of the armed forces and expanding coverage to female veterans, rural patients, the under-served, and caregivers. Our veterans have waited for far too long for this type of care and these types of benefits," said Congressman Steve Rothman (D-NJ).
"I believe we must keep the promises we make to our veterans. They have more than earned access to quality health care and other social services when they return home," said Congressman Rothman.
"This legislation demonstrates America's commitment to the needs of not only our veterans, but their families as well," said Congressman Rothman. "For the first time, we will provide essential and well-deserved support services to caregivers. This will include counseling, mental health services, and a stipend for caregivers living with severely wounded veterans."
