African universities have played a crucial role in the development of their nations, by educating the political and professional elites and by contributing to the creation of a new national identity in the post-colonial era. However, the universities' achievements have not been fully satisfactory. They have particularly disappointed politicians in their own societies and donor organizations in other parts of the world. It is also generally acknowledged that the quality of university education in the region has declined significantly over the past decade. Universities are confronted with numerous institutional problems, some with external causes and others resulting from internal factors. The primary external causes of this situation lie in the sharp increase in student numbers resulting from demographic and socio-economic developments, lack of equipment, the loss of well-qualified staff (brain drain) and, most of all, the absence of sufficient funding. Internal factors include organization and management, institutional profiles, and general strategy.

A man's legs have been trapped under a steel pipe that was being lowered onto a pile of other pipes at a Melbourne steel factory.
The man, in his 40s, was working on top of a pile of steel pipes at the Keysborough factory when his legs became trapped while he guided a pipe being lowered onto others.
Country Fire Authority (CFA) specialists are working to free him in what a spokesman described as an intricate and delicate operation.
The CFA said the man, who became trapped about 3pm on Thursday, is conscious while the rescue work continues.

Our classroom is a safe, nurturing learning environment for children ages 1 month through 3 years old. Current research indicates that the first 3 years of life are the most important years for learning and developing cognitive, social/emotional, physical, and language skills. The curriculum for infants and toddlers is based on the following fundamental beliefs:
- Developing trusting relationships between each child and caregiver
- Delivering responsive, individualized care to each child
- Creating environments which encourage exploration
- Ensuring the safety, health, and well-being of each child
- Forming partnerships with families
- Accepting and embracing cultural, family, and individual differences
Upon enrollment each child in the Infant and Toddler program will be assigned a primary caregiver. Primary caregivers are essential to forming positive relationships between the children and teachers. The curriculum goals & objectives, together with input from parents, guide the teacher's planning for each individual child.

No. 7 Syracuse 78, Rutgers 53: Brandon Triche drained five 3-pointers and finished with a season-high 25 points as the host Orange gave coach Jim Boeheim his 903rd career victory to move him past Bob Knight into second place on the all-time wins list.
C.J. Fair poured in 15 points and Michael Carter-Williams added 12 points and 10 assists – the ninth double-digit effort for the nation's assist leader this season – for Syracuse (13-1, 1-0 Big East), which defeated the Scarlet Knights for the 13th straight time.
Eli Carter also hit five 3-pointers and finished with 19 points while sophomore Kadeem Jack pulled down a career-high 13 rebounds for Rutgers (9-3, 0-1).
The Scarlet Knights took their last lead at 20-18 on a jumper by Carter with 8:06 left before intermission, but missed their final 12 shots of the half while Fair scored six of the Orange's 21 consecutive points to send Syracuse into the break with a 39-20 advantage.
The Orange stretched the lead to as many as 29 points in the second half, extending the longest home winning streak in the country to 33 games.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Syracuse has not lost to Rutgers since 2003 and has only dropped one home game all-time to the Scarlet Knights in 24 meetings, with the lone setback coming back in 1975 – the year before Boeheim took over the program. … Rutgers did not shoot its first free throw until the 14:25 mark of the second half but finished 7-of-8 from the foul line. … Triche fell two points shy of his career high – a 27-point effort against Oakland during his freshman season.

All living things need energy.
Just to survive, it's plain to see.
But where they get it is not the same,
There are three different groups with three different names.
Producers, Consumers and Decomposers,
They like to snack and munch!
Producers, Consumers and Decomposers,
They eat each other for lunch!
Bacteria and plants and animals abound,
Keep the energy cycle turning round and around.
Producers, Consumers and Decomposers!
Producers get light from the sun
It's photosynthesis, energy fun
Green plants and algae, of different kinds
Are eating sunlight at dinnertime, yeah!
You and I, now we're Consumers. (Consumers)
Cause we eat meat and some producers, yeah!
Consumers come in different types,
Depending on the food they like.
There's herbivores….they eat things that are green
There's carnivores…. eating meat is their scene
There's omnivores…. eat anything that they please
There's scavengers….they eat dead things, oh gross!
Fungi and bacteria are part of the crew. (Part of the crew)
Breaking down the old stuff and making it new, yeah!
Decomposing things right under your feet.
Feeding the producers and the cycle's complete.

text: Martin Freeman: "The Hobbit is the biggest film I'll ever do" "There are inevitably bits that you'll wish you were better in, but Peter Jackson is a very skilled director and he knows Middle Earth better than anybody else" Comments Written By Susanna Lazarus 12:35 PM, 22 October 2012 If you're wondering what's become of Sherlock's Martin Freeman, you'll be pleased to know he's been rather busy of late. After spending the last eighteen months filming his lead role in Peter Jackson's upcoming blockbuster The Hobbit, Martin's star is about to be sent stratospheric with the release of the first film in the trilogy on 14 December 2012. He plays Bilbo Baggins - adoptive father of Elijah Wood's Frodo in Tolkien's epic tales - and spoke exclusively to RadioTimes.com about his experiences of filming in New Zealand with much of the same production team as its enormously successful predecessor, The Lord of the Rings. "There was a big contingent of new blood. The mixture of people who'd done Rings and people who hadn't was a nice one - I wasn't the only person coming into a club. We all looked after each other and you couldn't be in a friendlier place than New Zealand - they're pathologically friendly. "I loved the Lord of the Rings films - I hadn't read the books, but I thoroughly enjoyed Peter's take on them. And I have, of course, read The Hobbit - I love the scenes in Gollum's cave. The first bit we filmed was when Bilbo and Gollum (played by Andy Serkis) have a great theatrical scene which consists of telling each other riddles, with Bilbo's life depending on getting these riddles right. It's a beautifully written scene and Andy Serkis as Gollum is just a star in every regard." And what about his Sherlock co-star Benedict Cumberbatch who's also involved in the project, portraying deadly dragon Smaug? "Benedict and I did cross over very briefly - he was out there after Christmas doing his bit. I saw him for just one day." Widely known for his roles in The Office and Sherlock, Freeman readily admits The Hobbit is "the biggest film I'll ever do". So is he nervous ahead of its much-anticipated release? "I'm excited about seeing it - I want to like it, I want to be pleased with it, and I want to be proud of it. There are inevitably bits that you'll wish you were better in, but Peter Jackson is a very skilled director and he knows Middle Earth better than anybody else. "I'm very hopeful, but also nervous because I want to please myself first of all, and I also hope everyone else likes it." Like this? Share it.

Brad Keselowski hopes to deliver double for Penske
CONCORD, N.C. – NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski recalls how shocked he was about his first meeting with Roger Penske, but it wasn't because of the renowned car owner's interest in him.
It was Penske's address.
When Keselowski googled the directions on his phone, it led him to a road he often traveled in his home state of Michigan past nondescript buildings. Penske's offices were in one of those buildings; Keselowski had never known how close he had come to Penske years before.
Keselowski knows how close he could be to giving Penske a special double Sunday. Penske's Izod IndyCar Series team is among the favorites to win Sunday's Indianapolis 500 (Noon ET, ABC) with Ryan Briscoe starting on the pole, and Will Power (three wins in four races) and three-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves in his stable. Keselowski was second to Jimmie Johnson in last weekend's Sprint All-Star Race and aims for his first Coca-Cola 600 win Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway (6 p.m. ET, Fox).
While Penske's team has won 15 Indianapolis 500s, his Cup program has won the Coca-Cola 600 only once. No team owner has ever won both races on the same day.
"I know how much that would mean to Roger to pull that off," said Keselowski, who won the pole for last year's Coke 600 but finished 19th. "The month of May is certainly a big month for Penske Racing. Obviously, they're having a lot of success over there at the Brickyard, and that's great to see and really important for Roger. But we want to have a lot of success over here, too.''
Keselowski and teammate A.J. Allmendinger were strong in the All-Star race. Keselowski has been strong, minus some fuel pump issues. He's placed no worse than 15th in the last four races, including his second win of the year May 6 at Talladega Superspeedway.
"We have three strong cars at the Indy 500. It's unbelievable," Briscoe said Monday. "Based off this weekend, we know A.J. and Brad are going to be super competitive. We're definitely excited. It'd mean so much to bring home two wins in the same day for Roger."
Penske is expected to make the trip from Indianapolis to Charlotte. He has a few hours between races.
He flew to Charlotte last Saturday after Briscoe won the pole at Indy earlier in the day, in time to see Allmendinger qualify for the All-Star Race with a second in the Sprint Showdown warmup event.
"He's always there," said Allmendinger, who will start 11th Sunday. "I came off the racetrack (at the Showdown), and he was the first one standing on pit road fist pumping as I was going by, and I was like (double take), 'Is that Roger that I just went by? Shouldn't he be in Indy celebrating a pole?'
"That's just what I love about him. He's just so passionate about it to make the trip and be the first guy there when I got out of the car. It just makes it fun to work for him."
But of Penske's two Cup drivers, Keselowski would seem to have the better shot to cap a possible double. Going back to last year's Coca-Cola 600, only one driver has won more races than Keselowski's five — defending series champion Tony Stewart, with seven.
It's a tremendous turnaround from this point last year when Keselowski and his teammate at the time, Kurt Busch, were struggling and the organization was making changes in light of radio comments Busch made in a race earlier.
The organization improved, and both made last year's Chase for the Sprint Cup. Keselowski enters this weekend's race 12th in points.
A win on this particular weekend would be special for Keselowski, whose foundation supports military members and their families. Keselowski caps his victories by doing burnouts with an American flag flying out his window.
"I'm going to assume that it would probably mean a little bit more, being Memorial Day weekend," he said. "It's one of those things that I almost don't think about it, I'd rather just experience it."

Two Celebrated Investors (at LongLeaf) Want to Fix Their Fund and Chesapeake Energy
Posted by: CanadianValue (IP Logged)
Date: January 3, 2013 09:35AM
From Forbes, a story on the struggles of Southeastern Asset Management and their long-time position, Chesapeake Energy (CHK):
Nothing tests the mettle of a value investor like watching a large portfolio holding slowly and steadily melt down. Yet that's exactly what happened last spring to Mason Hawkins and his partner, Staley Cates, the veteran investment officers of Memphis' Southeastern Asset Management.Chesapeake Energy, one of the biggest positions in their flagship mutual fund, Longleaf Partners, was hit by a barrage of negative publicity as its brash billionaire chief executive, Aubrey McClendon, came under fire for alleged self-dealing. This, after Hawkins and Cates had long defended McClendon and his aggressive spending on acquisitions. Short-sellers swarmed Chesapeake's shares, which sank as much as 47% in less than two months.
Chesapeake's shares have recovered somewhat, but they have dampened what would have otherwise been a great year for Longleaf Partners fund. In 2011 Chesapeake and other portfolio duds like Cemex and Bank of New York Mellon contributed to an embarrassing 2.9% loss for the fund, versus a 2.1% gain for the S&P 500.
Fact is, over the last decade you would have done better investing in a passively managed broad market index ETF than in either Southeastern's Longleaf Partners or International fund.
Of course, Southeastern is not the only noted value money manager experiencing hard times. It's been a lost decade for many legendary funds, including Legg Mason Value Trust, Tweedy, Browne Value Fund and even Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, which has failed to keep pace with the S&P 500 over the last ten years. "Longleaf was hurt, even more than most value funds," says Morningstar analyst Gregg Wolper. "There's no glossing over how badly the fund did during the financial crisis and after."

Sustainable health and social care
Sustainable Health and Social Care: connecting environmental and financial performance is based on a literature review and stakeholder consultation carried out by The King's Fund on behalf of the National Institute for Health Research and the Social Care Institute for Excellence. The report provides an overview of current knowledge about the environmental impacts of health and social care and examines the evidence for a connection between sustainability, productivity and other system objectives.
The authors consider how health and social care needs to change to become more environmentally sustainable. A key finding is that improving efficiency at the operational level is unlikely to be sufficient. A more fundamental transformation in service models will be needed, with a greater emphasis on prevention, shifting care upstream, better integration and co-ordination of care, and an ongoing focus on maximising value for patients.
Priorities for health and social care organisations include:
- developing a more detailed local understanding of the problem through systematic measurement of environmental impacts
- exploiting the synergies between environmental sustainability and other organisational objectives
- investing in preventive approaches to reduce demand for formal care
- exploring the opportunities presented by new technologies such as telehealth and telecare
- improving medicines management and prescribing practice to reduce inefficient or wasteful use of pharmaceuticals.
The report also urges policy-makers to remove barriers that discourage organisations from developing more sustainable approaches and to explore the policy changes needed to create a more enabling environment.
You can find out more with Chris Naylor's audio slideshow on the paper's key findings.
A more detailed version of this report focusing specifically on the question of what research is needed to support the development of environmentally sustainable health and social care is available from the National Institute for Health Research.

Tokyo (AFP) Sept 6, 2011
Japan's former premier Naoto Kan feared Tokyo would be rendered uninhabitable by the Fukushima nuclear crisis, he said in an interview published Tuesday in which he recalled the "spine-chilling" thought.
He added it would have been "impossible" to evacuate all of the 30 million people in the event of a mass exclusion zone encompassing Tokyo and the Kanto region, and said that this risk made nuclear power a too dangerous option.
"Deserted scenes of Tokyo without a single man around came across my mind," he told the Tokyo Shimbun newspaper, describing his thoughts as the nuclear emergency deepened in the days after the March 11 quake and tsunami.
"It really was a spine-chilling thought," he said.
Kan officially stepped down a week ago amid criticism over his handling of the aftermath of the March 11 triple disaster -- a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, a tsunami and the world's worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl 25 years ago.
The towering wall of water battered cooling systems at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, 220 kilometres northeast of Tokyo, triggering reactor meltdowns and spewing radiation into the environment.
The disaster forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people around a 20 kilometre radius and in some pockets beyond the plant, with many activists and scientists calling for a wider exclusion zone.
Japan is struggling to bring the crippled reactors to a state of cold shutdown by a January target.
After the calamity, Kan declared a shift in the country's energy policy towards renewables.
His successor Yoshihiko Noda has suggested Japan will eventually phase out atomic power generation in the resource-poor nation and Asia's second-largest economy.
"I thought nuclear plants were safe as they were supported by Japan's technology. But I changed my mind after the experience of the March 11 disaster," he said.
"Japan wouldn't stand as a country if the uninhabitable zone (around the crippled Fukushima plant) had to spread out to 100 or 200 kilometres.
"Evacuating 100,000 or 200,000 people is a really grave situation, but if 30 million people were to be subjected, evacuating them all would be impossible.
"When I think of safety not being outweighed by risk, the answer is not to rely on nuclear."
Kan, a one-time environmental activist, pledged to boost alternative energy sources to 20 percent of the nation's energy mix by the 2020s, pushing through a law on promoting renewable energy in parliament immediately before resigning.
Alternative energy sources currently make up about nine percent, most of it hydroelectric power.
Under Japan's previous energy plan atomic power had been set to meet over half of demand by 2030, up from about one third before the March 11 quake-tsunami disaster.
In a separate interview, Kan told the liberal Asahi Shimbun daily that the government had run a simulation of a widened evacuation zone up to 300 kilometres around the Fukushima plant, which would affect Japan's capital and the entire Kanto region.
"When you think of the chances of an accident that could make half the country uninhabitable, you cannot possibly take that risk, even if it was once in a century," he said.

New Information on This Site
June 4, 2015 When the transcription of the History of Hingham was begun scans of old genealogical reference works were uncommon online, but now they are easily available at no charge. Because of that I have decided to abandon the transcription of the history portion of the History of Hingham, only a small portion was completed. The transcribed genealogical volumes, which were completed in 2008, will remain on the site. Visitors who wish to consult the history portion of that work can access scans of volume one part one and part two at the Internet Archive, which also holds scans of genealogical volumes two and three.
December 25, 2009 The transcription of the published Vital Records of Cohasset has been moved from here to my Cohasset site.
July 21, 2008 The second of three milestones has been reached in the transcription of the History of Hingham. The family registers from both of the genealogical volumes are now complete. I will now turn away for a while to work on other projects before returning to the history volume. For the time being I have added images of those history pages that have not yet been transcribed.
March 13, 2008 We have a new address! Many USGenWeb sites have relocated, and we have, too. Please bookmark our new address.
October 17, 2004 David Davis has contibuted a text file detailing the information he has collected concerning the Ancestry of William Sprague of Hingham.
August 23, 2004 As a part of the continued work on the History of Hingham I have moved the supplemental information on the Family of Abraham Lincoln to its own directory.
April 26, 2003 A list of Hingham newspapers has been added, showing library holdings on microfilm.
Lookups and Resources
If you have any Hingham material and would like to volunteer for lookups please send email to Dale H. Cook.
When requesting a lookup please use the email link following the listing for that book, limit your request to one or two specific names on separate lines, and please thank the volunteer for their time and effort.
Many of Hingham's early settlers came from old Hingham, in Norfolk Co., England. For background information on the parish of their origin see the Norfolk Transcription Archive.
David Davis has contibuted a text file detailing the information he has collected concerning the Ancestry of William Sprague of Hingham.
The old 2nd Precinct of Hingham became the town of Cohasset, and the USGenWeb Cohasset Site has some useful information including the transcribed vital records of the town.
Professional genealogist and genealogical editor Scott Andrew Bartley hosts web pages about Massachusetts counties, cities and towns. Researchers will find historical and genealogical data and links of use to those working at any level. His Hingham page contains essential information for anyone researching Hingham and its families, and his Plymouth County page is equally valuable.

Genealogical and Historical Locations
Hingham Heritage Visitor Center at Old Derby
34 Main St.
Hingham, MA 02043
In 1784 Madam Sarah Derby deeded the buildings at 34 Main Street and the land around them to those wishing to establish a school on the premises. That happened in 1791, the year after she died, leaving much of her estate to the school's trustees to provide income for the new enterprise. The academy was intended to be a co-educational facility, perhaps the only one in the country at that time. The original buildings were torn down in 1818, replaced by a Federal-style structure. Old Derby was the only source of secondary education in town until 1872, when Hingham High School opened. Old Derby was bought by the Hingham Historical Society after the academy moved to new quarters in the mid 1960s.
The Old Ordinary
21 Lincoln St.
Hingham, MA 02043
Hours: Mid-June through Labor Day, Tues. - Sat. 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Open through mid-October by appointment.
Admission: Adults - $3.00; Children - $1.00.
The original structure dates from 1680 and saw major expansions in 1740 and 1760. It began as a home and eventually became a tavern or ordinary. It is now a Hingham Historical Society museum, filled with 18th and 19th century furniture, samplers, musical instruments, costumes and paintings. The surrounding period garden is attributed to Frederick Law Olmstead Jr.
Old Ship Church
First Parish in Hingham, Unitarian Universalist
90 Main Street
Hingham, MA 02043
The Old Ship Church is the oldest meetinghouse in continuous use in the United States. The congregation was gathered in 1635 under Reverend Peter Hobart. The central portion of the building was raised July 26 - 28, 1681, and expanded in the 18th century. Interior modifications hid structural details including the beams of the ship-framed roof. A 1930 restoration returned the building to a combination of 17th and 18th century elements.
History, Census Data and Maps
Around 1633 several families including that of Edmund Hobart landed at Charlestown. After a few months they moved to a settlement called Bare Cove after the mud flats in the harbor at low tide. The name was changed to Hingham in 1635 - many early families came from Hingham, England. Early families included those of Hobart, Lincoln, Beal, Loring, Otis, Cushing, Gardner, Whiton and Fearing. In 1635 Edmund's son, Reverend Peter Hobart, arrived with his family and in that year the First Parish of Hingham was established. The original simple meetinghouse was replaced in 1681 by the Old Ship Church, the oldest home of continuous worship in the nation. It is named for the framing of the roof, resembles the inverted hull of a ship.
Hingham became a port of entry and a fishing port, with industries which included coopering, cordage, shoemaking, cabinetmaking, leather working and blacksmithing. Today many antique homes line Main Street.
The Second Precinct of Hingham was established as the town of Cohasset on April 26, 1770.
From its establishment in 1635 until 1793 Hingham was part of Suffolk County. From 1793 to 1803 it was part of Norfolk County, and it has been part of Plymouth County since 1803.
Hingham Centre 1878 Contains the location of Leavitt St., Main St., Fearing Store, etc., in 1878 provided by Richard Souther.

SARASOTA - Think of a underwater reef: colorful coral, thousands of fish, and now giant pieces of concrete. Believe it or not, those are the foundations of what could become another thriving ecosystem at the bottom of Sarasota Bay.
"I think its cool that your help rebuilding ecosystems," said Chris Emmer, a Riverview High School student helping with the project.
At least some of the some of the concrete structures, also known as reef balls, would not have been taking the plunge Wednesday morning without the help of some up and coming Riverview scientists.
"I think it's a very good idea and a cool concept that we bring them out here to help out the reef and to provide homes for all the fish out here," said Jonathan Cain, another student.
Students from the school's marine biology program have been studying the bay's ecosystem all year. They were on hand Wednesday as the artificial reef foundations were lowered into the bay.
"I just love to be underwater and to be on the water so to go under and help out, to see all the fish that she taught us about last year and everything and to help out the environment is interesting to me," said Cain.
The reef balls are being used to expand on some of the bay's already established artificial reefs.
And with some of these orbs topping out at more than four hundred pounds, they're made to last.
"They are heavy enough to prevent being moved in storms, they're low enough to provide for navigation above them," said Dr. Jay Leverone, who works with the Sarasota Bay Estuary Program.
Emmer will start building his own life this fall as he heads off to USF. But for now he's helping build another life; the one that today sits beneath the waves.
"It's kind of satisfying knowing that it's going to last and actually makes a difference," said Emmer.

P/E Ratios Are Not CheapThe chart below covers the S&P 500 and its P/E ratio over the course of 1982-2000 bull market. Note that the P/Es started at 7 and rose to nearly 50. The median P/E went as high as 32. There are those who claim that P/E expansion isn't all that significant to market performance; they argue it is a function of falling interest rates. A better explanation is psychology: Something shifted in investor sentiment that made them willing to pay more than $7 for a $1 of earnings -- in fact, almost $50 per. That change is best explained by a sentiment shift related to perceived relative value. Most investors do not think about P/E expansion as the lion's share of the market's gains. Instead, they credit a robust economy, technological advances, productivity gains, and (of course!) earnings improvement. All those elements did have an obvious impact . By my calculations, they were responsible for about 25% of the gains. But the biggest contribution of these elements was not to the bottom line; rather, it was to investor sentiment. This "fantastic four" allowed investors to rationalize higher prices: Aren't stocks worth more if the economy is doing well? Doesn't technology make companies more efficient? If workers are more productive, then earnings will be all the more better. While rational, these are hardly easily quantifiable data points.
Multiple Expansion and Mean ReversionSo what does this have to do with this year's market performance? Nearly everything. Do not forget that the process works in reverse, as well. Post-crash, there is an increasing unwillingness to pay more for a dollar of earnings. Indeed, that's why we are seeing the market making so little progress, despite all the "good data." Investors are unwilling to pay more for earnings. The machinery is spinning furiously simply to stay in place. Without share buybacks and dividend increases, market performance would be much worse. This is the psychological issue referenced above. Why worry about corporate malfeasance, earnings misses and bad management? Instead, fix up your home and watch it appreciate! And, it won't get marked to market every day (less stress), and, unless you live near a toxic waste dump, it won't go to zero. This explains how sentiment affects multiple compression. But does this process have a mathematical explanation? Yes: Mean reversion is the process by which earnings ratios oscillate above and below its long-term average. And markets do not seem to stop on their means. Instead, they swing wildly above and below. The accompanying chart shows we have been way above the historical averages for P/E ratios. From 1955 to 2005, the median P/E was 17. Stocks may not be terribly expensive at present, but they are hardly cheap by historical measures. An even more discouraging analysis comes from Clifford Asness of AQR Capital Management. He calculated the P/E ratios for the entire market from 1871 to 2003 at about 11. That suggests stocks are even less cheap (or more expensive) than is implied by our measure of "only" the past 50.

Favor Edit
|Ghostwheel's Favor
|This article has been favored and rated Good by Ghostwheel, for the following reasons: A far more balanced version of the druid, this is probably what the druid should have been off the bat. A good mix of spellcasting, shapeshifting, an animal companion at levels where it's not prone to make the actual meleers cry, and specific abilities tied to the totem animal you choose all garner this class a favorable rating.
Dang, this thing is GOOD, I was planning to build a spirit guide based shaman class myself but you beat me to it. Are you stealing my thoughts with some kind of mind-ripper space ray? I think my tinfoil hat must be defective or something.--ThirdEmperor 03:01, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Obtaining Additional
Add-On Certificates
ESL Certification
Adding a Second Certificate
Currently, the PA Department of Education allows certified teachers to add
certification in a second content area(s) by passing the appropriate
Praxis exam (without completing the college/university curriculum for this
major). This process is referred to as "Instructional Add-ons." We
strongly encourage all students to explore Instructional Add-ons as an
option for increasing your teaching versatility and employment
To assess the difficulty and content of these Praxis II exams, check out
the Tests
at a Glance and Study Guides on the Praxis Website
Consider the following:
Exceptions to
the Add-on Certificate Eligibility: Currently (3/10/15) Reading
Specialist, Cooperative Education, all Special Education areas, and Health
& Physical Education certificates are not obtainable without
completing an approved college program. However, all teachers certified in
these areas, may add on certificates from the remaining eligible
Note: Foreign
language areas other than French, Spanish, German or Latin MUST take the
American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) test for the
language and achieve a minimum of Intermediate High on both the oral and
written ACTFL assessments.
Example, Secondary
Education: Do you have a second area of interest that you would enjoy
teaching? Consider taking the appropriate Praxis II exam to obtain
certification in another secondary level content area.
Application Sequence: In
order to apply for certification in a second certification area,
you must obtain your primary (or initial) Instructional I teaching
certificate, first. Applications must be submitted to the Bureau of School
Leadership and Teacher Quality through Teacher
Information Management Systems (TIMS).
In TIMS, select "Instructional I" even if you posess an Instructional II
certificate. For more information, visit the PDE
Taking the "Add-on" Praxis: Although
you must obtain the first certificate prior to applying for the Add-on
Certificate, you may take the Praxis exam for the Add-on
Certificate anytime! In fact, you may take the Praxis exams in any
sequence. Only the application process is sequential.
Employers Outside of PA:
Although many states will honor Instructional Add-ons, there are no
guarantees that this will transfer. Just as states can add other
eligibility requirements to "standard" PA Instructional certificates,
state requirements for Instructional Add-on certificates may vary. Each
year more states will NOT accept instructional Add-ons.
ESL Certification
Within Pennsylvania, English as a Second Language (ESL) professionals are
K-12 Program Specialists. To qualify for an ESL Program Specialist
certificate, applicants must hold a PA Instructional I or II certificate
and complete a state-approved ESL training component.

TESOL/TEFL Certification
Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and Teaching English as a
Foreign Language are certification areas that are becoming more and more
popular. Certification in these areas is offered through independent
programs. Since the TESOL/TEFL organizations cannot officially recommend
specific certificate programs, they have compiled a list of tips for
evaluating independent certificate programs.

|Theories about
Paik Heavy Industries
|Main Discussion
|Theories may be removed if ...
See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.
- Paik Heavy Industries, the Widmore Labs and the Hanso Foundation could have serious business together - mainly because of the DHARMA Initiative.
- The Greek Letter Phi is an acronym for Paik Heavy Industries.
- PHI could also be relating to Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code," in which Robert Langdon talks about PHI and Divine Intervention.
- Could be somehow related to a note jotted on the Blast Door map in the upper right hand corner, which states "Possible manufacturing facility with light industrial equipment".
- Paik Heavy Industries might have constructed the hatches on the island, or built airplanes for Oceanic.
- Boeing builds airplanes for Oceanic.
- The "Rabbit's Foot" in Mission Impossible 3 could be a product of Paik Heavy Industries. J.J. Abrams directed it, the Paik logo is on the building where Ethan (Tom Cruise) retrieve the "Rabbit's Foot", and The Hanso Foundation is mentioned in the special thanks section of the film's credits. Plus, it is never explained at the end of the movie, continuing the mystery.

Oh I really doubt that. Vista is what pushed me over the edge. I was quite happy with XP, but I realised that I couldn't remain with that OS forever because it would eventually become outdated, so I figured I should switch to Linux sooner rather than later. Admittedly the switch hasn't paid off quite yet because I had such extensive knowledge of MSWindows, but I'm sure in a few months I'll be laughing.Quote:
When you first joined up here, you made it very clear how much you hated Microsoft, right off the bat. Well good for you, you found Linux, but that doesn't discount that Microsoft is here, and they're pretty much here to stay.
Weren't Microsoft convicted in a court of law of having a monopoly?Quote:
They do not have a monopoly, they happen to have a large market share which under current laws they're allowed to have and there are alternatives that people can use. Hey, you're using Linux, Microsoft goons haven't shown up at your door and forced you to install one of their OS's.
Honestly, I thought we were all Linux people here. I didn't think there'd be a single person on this forum that would be offended if I berrated MSWindows.Quote:
I could say I'm sorry for being less than polite, but I feel it's just as impolite on your part to continually disparage a product that many of us depend upon, not only for our jobs, but for many things that make everyone lives better, since I happen to work in an industry that if we didn't have Windows, you'd be literally Shit outta luck.

The Separation (essay)
Return to The Separation (essay)
|Book #32 in the series [Animorphs] by K.A. Applegate.
[Disclaimer]: If you've heard of [Animorphs] and you're thinking "Aww, how cute," maybe you should read my introduction to [The Invasion|the first book] to see how wrong you are.
[Animorphs] #32
Summarized [Plot]:
While morphing a [starfish] to get an earring out of a [tide pool] crack, Rachel gets cut in half by a mischievous boy and ends up becoming two Rachels. But the two halves of her are also polarized: a [mall]-crawling, [airhead]ed, [coward]ly one with a [duty, honor, country|sense of duty] and an [foresight|ability to plan], and a [psychotic], [violent], [courageous] one with an ability to attack and no decent foresight or [memory]. The Animorphs are trying to destroy an Anti-Morphing Ray built by the Yeerks, but their issues trying to deal with a Rachel too afraid to fight and a Rachel too out-of-control to take orders end up overshadowing the mission. But soon, through each of their failures to function as a whole person, they realize [opposites attract|they need each other] as much as they hate each other, and [alien|Ax] and [android|Erek] come up with a way to blend them together again . . . as long as they can be convinced to carry it out and accept their opposite as part of themselves again.
About this book:
[Narrator]: Rachel
New known controllers:
New morphs acquired:
Best lines:
Cassie: "We have a problem."
Erek: "I can't stay long. I just came to update you guys on the mission."
Nice Rachel: "I remember it was chilly. I had, like, [goosebumps|goose bumps]?"
Nice Rachel: Jake had touched something still alive and strong inside me: [duty]. Stupid word! Stupid idea! No, not a stupid idea. But definitely a stupid word. I mean, it sounds like "doody." I mean, puh-leeze. I had to go and get killed because of something that sounds like you're talking about what dogs do on the lawn?

The Shooting, 2007: Four Bullets Later
Viewing video requires the latest version of Adobe's Flash Player
Friday, May 14, 2010 | midnight
Tom Urbanski was shot four times on February 19, 2007 while working as a bouncer at Minxx strip club in Las Vegas. He and his wife, Kathy, tell the story of their following year.

Comments that are off-topic, vulgar, profane or include personal attacks will be removed. Full comments policy. Additionally, we now display comments from trusted commenters by default.

For more on this change, read our story about how it works and why we did it.
A visual testimony to a story read, but rarely related to by those of us who have not experienced the emotions or physical hardship of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It takes courage and patience. An insightful portrait of struggle.
What happens next? Why is the conversion of their home taking so long to accomplish? Assistance within the system? The future beyond one year? Why can a wealthy media sports icon who caused this outcome not feel responsible beyond what the legal system has declared necessary? Beyond identifying the shooter he could easily set up a foundation to assist the victims (Kathy & Tom)in reclaiming their life and future as a humane gesture. The example it would set for so many young followers of today's super stars would be immeasurable not to mention a blessing for the Urbanski family.
How about, why is the attorney for Urbanski also the attorney for Edwards (the guy who has been fingered as the shooter)? Is that not some sort of conflict?
I don't believe for one minute that Urbanski's attorney is looking out for Tommy's best interest if that is the case. Looks as if the attorney is looking out for himself. Can't go wrong financially if you are playing both sides of the fence now can he?
So, if you ask me the Urbanski's may want to rethink their strategy on this one. Not only were they victims of the shooting; now they are victims of the system.
I wish them the best and I hope they make some wise moves. Right now, it looks like they may need to come up with a better game plan.

Psychology and Treatment of the Juvenile Offender is geared toward psychology and forensic psychology majors who plan to work in human service, counseling, social work or occupational therapy. The course helps prepare students for work with at-risk children and teens, and those who already are involved in the criminal justice system.
Assistant Professor of Psychology Julie Jenks Kettmann has built in experiential learning as a way for students to deepen their understanding of course material. Students have the opportunity to meet with a juvenile court judge, observe juvenile criminal court cases and interact with SAU alumni who are working as juvenile court officers.
All students in the course must also complete a service-learning experience with at-risk or adjudicated teens at one of four community sites. Here are the stories of two students.
Stephanie Pietig
"You would have thought they won the lottery for how excited they were! I could clearly see how foreign success felt to them." Read more about Pietig's experience at the Annie Wittenmyer Complex.

Happy Labor Day!
I got to announce some fun news this weekend – I was lucky enough to win a finalist slot as best local blog in Birmingham Magazine's "Best of 2012" issue! A big congrats to Trish & Angie over at BirminghamMommy.com for winning the grand prize, they are a fine bunch indeed with lots of great content. Some of my favorite people in the 'Ham for sure. Also, congrats to Alexis at samechicdifferentday.com for also making it as a finalist!
There's another reason why you should pick up Birmingham Magazine this month – James & his partner Dan have a nice write-up on The Burger Coalition inside as well! Complete with awesome photographs by the amazing Wes Frazer. 🙂 If you live in Birmingham or Atlanta and love a good burger, then you should sign up for one of their coalitions soon.
It was a peaceful few days in Atlanta with James, and I got up bright and early this morning to head back into town for work. We are taking on a few mini challenges for the month of September…nothing too big and scary, more for well-being purposes than anything else. Our first challenge is to give up alcohol for 21 days, which should be fairly easy to do. Within those 21 days we will also be doing 7 days as vegetarian, and 2 as vegan. I am really excited about that the most, as I've never tried to be completely vegan before. However I do follow a few friends on Instagram who are completely vegan all of the time, so I may be hitting them up soon for meal ideas. It's also become a lot easier to get vegetarian and vegan friendly food in general at restaurants, and we have several here in Birmingham that specialize in both. My favorites are The Golden Temple and Bottletree Cafe. I love the idea that you can have a well-rounded meal with no meat. I was a semi-vegetarian for about 2 years (I ate fish on occasion) and it was much easier than you would think. It was also during a time where I calculated my nutritional intake, and I always got more than enough protein on a daily basis from natural sources. Our last challenge of the month is to do two days of fruit/vegetable juice, at least 1,200 calories worth. In fact, we do that this Wednesday & Thursday as a mini-cleanse. I am looking forward to it! We've already started thinking about doing other fun challenges in the months ahead, just to keep things interesting. Something I'd like to do is eat purely local food for a certain amount of time, inspired by the film Eating Alabama. The filmmaker and his wife take on a 360 day challenge of eating nothing but local food, and it turns out to be much harder than anticipated. You should check the film out if you get the chance, it has a great message and is appropriate for all ages.
I'm just going to make today's post one big cultural plug and end with Artwalk!! This is my second favorite festival in Birmingham, which just so happens to be this weekend. It's in the loft district downtown with more local art than you could ever imagine. There will also be live music and great food. Did I mention that it is free??? Pop in and walk around, it won't disappoint.

New York Times' columnist and Nobel laureate in economics Paul Krugman is a broken record. Although I agree with him most of the time, I no longer bother to read his columns. He's totally predictable and seldom offers new insights.
How about replacing most of Krugman with The Times' columnist Tom Friedman (who you run less often)? He continually provides fresh perspectives on a broad range of topics. Friedman does write about the domestic situation, but also about foreign affairs and environmental issues.
Unlike with Krugman, I always feel like I've learned something from Friedman's columns.

HIROSHIMA – The Hiroshima Municipal Government said it expects representatives from a record 100 countries to attend its annual ceremony on Thursday to mark the U.S. atomic bombing, as peace activists gathered in the city.
The participants will include U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy, who will be attending the event for the second year in a row after assuming her post in late 2013, and a senior U.S. State Department official in charge of arms control, according to the U.S. government.
Kennedy and Rose Gottemoeller, undersecretary of state foA memorial service was also held Korean victims of the atomic bombing, at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park on Wednesday morning.r arms control and international security, will also attend a ceremony to be held on Sunday in Nagasaki, the other city devastated by a U.S. atomic bomb. It's the first time that a high-level Washington official will attend the two ceremonies, according to the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo.
The move comes amid growing calls in Japan for U.S. President Barack Obama to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki to see the human consequences using nuclear weapons.
From the United Nations, Acting High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Kim Won-soo will attend the ceremony and read out a message from U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Diplomats in Japan from nuclear powers Britain, France and Russia, as well as the European Union will also attend the ceremony, according to the Hiroshima Municipal Government.
A memorial service was also held for Korean victims of the atomic bombing, at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park on Wednesday morning.
In the 46th memorial service, hosted by the Hiroshima regional headquarters of the pro-Seoul Korean Residents Union in Japan, or Mindan, Chim Sung-ui, head of the Hiroshima branch, vowed to make an all-out effort toward denuclearization.
"We have advocated the elimination of nuclear weapons for 70 years and passed, as witnesses, memories of the atomic bombing to the younger generations with a sense of responsibility," Chim said.
At the ceremony, a list of 2,711 victims, including 22 who died within the last year, was placed in a monument. First-, second- and third-generation Korean female residents wearing traditional attire sang a requiem for the victims in front of some 200 participants, including bereaved families.
On Tuesday, peace campaigners from around the world gathered to attend annual conferences organized by major Japanese anti-nuclear groups to push for the elimination of nuclear weapons.
At a conference convened by the Japan Council Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs, known as Gensuikyo, 90-year-old atomic bomb survivor Sunao Tsuboi stressed the need to join forces to eliminate nuclear weapons, recalling his painful memories and physical suffering after experiencing the blast from about 1.2 km away.
"Illnesses caused by the atomic bomb continue to haunt me," said Tsuboi, one of the chairpersons of the Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations.
He said he has been hospitalized a dozen times.
Muhammad Anshor, deputy permanent representative of Indonesia to the United Nations, said the horrific impact of nuclear weapons witnessed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is "one of the main driving forces" behind Indonesia's support for a total ban on nuclear weapons.
"I hope the governments and civil society continue to work together in striving for a world without nuclear weapons," he said.
Young peace activists from overseas also joined the event. Mary Popeo, a 23-year-old from Boston, expressed her eagerness to take back her experiences in Japan to encourage young people to act.
"A lot of people tell me . . . that because we're young maybe you can't make as much difference, and people say, 'You have no experience of war,' or 'You're not an expert in nuclear weapons so why are you doing this?' But you do not need to be an expert in nuclear weapons to see the humanitarian consequences," she said.
Another conference was held on Tuesday by the Japan Congress Against A- and H-Bombs, commonly known as Gensuikin.
Both Gensuikyo and Gensuikin will be holding anti-nuclear gatherings and other events in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki through Sunday.

About Web Indexing
About Web Indexing
Web indexing means creating indexes for individual Web sites, intranets, collections of HTML documents, or even collections of Web sites.
Indexes are systematically arranged items, such as topics or names, that serve as entry points to go directly to desired information within a larger document or set of documents. Indexes are traditionally alphabetically arranged. But they may also make use of hierarchical arrangements, as provided by thesauri, or they may be entirely hierarchical, as in the case of taxonomies. An index might not even be displayed, if it incorporated into a searchable database.
Indexing is an analytic process of determining which concepts are worth indexing, what entry labels to use, and how to arrange the entries. As such, Web indexing is best done by individuals skilled in the craft of indexing, either through formal training or through self-taught reading and study.
A Web index is often a browsable list of entries from which the user makes selections, but it may be non-displayed and searched by the user typing into a search box. A site A-Z index is a kind of Web index that resembles an alphabetical back-of-the-book style index, where the index entries are hyperlinked directly to the appropriate Web page or page section, rather than using page numbers.
Electronic indexing includes embedded indexing of Word, Framemaker, PDF and InDesign electronic documents of publications, online help and Content Management System tagging. When the pages are edited or changed, the index is regenerated with new page numbers or anchors or URLs with a hyperlink from the index to the relevant page or paragraph.
