According to head coach Tom Coughlin, Arrington irritated the injury during an OTA (organized team activity) workout session on Monday.
It's uncertain whether Arrington will participate in one or both of Thursday's workouts, but all parties are hopeful that he'll be fine to go during the minicamp's final practice on Friday morning.
Two other free agent newcomers – LB Brandon Short (knee) and FS Will Demps (knee) – also were held to one practice, during the afternoon. Besides that, and nicks and bruises to reserve players like James Butler, who had a kidney injury, Lewis Kelly and Michael Jennings, the Giants had perfect attendance.

Unpublished until 1998 because of the Official Secrets Act, Leo Marks's memoir of his time as part of SOE has been acclaimed as one of the greatest accounts of espionage in the Second World War. An unforgettable story of heroism under fire, gallows humour, unswerving loyalty and fatal mistakes.
Published price: US$ 94.95 US$ 47.45
Saving: US$ 47.50 (50%)
In 1942, having failed the entrance exam for Bletchley Park, 22-year-old Leo Marks was despatched to what he heard described as 'some potty outfit in Baker Street'. This was the code-breaking unit of the Special Operatives Executive (SOE), where Marks would enter the code war along with some of the foremost Allied secret agents. Unpublished until 1998 because of the Official Secrets Act, his memoir has been acclaimed as one of the greatest accounts of espionage in the Second World War.
Introduced by Simon Mawer
Bound in cloth with silk panel on front board
Set in Garamond
600 pages
24 pages of colour and black & white plates
Book size: 10" x 6¼"
'Not only a fascinating memoir but an inspiring one as well'
This is an unforgettable story of heroism under fire, gallows humour, unswerving loyalty and fatal mistakes. Marks writes frankly of the in-fighting between the Free French and SOE, and of his terrible discovery that the Nazis had taken over the Dutch secret agents' codes. For years SOE relied on codes based on poems, which were all too easy to crack if you knew the originals. Marks's attempts to change the system were rebuffed at first, so he wrote his own verse. Eventually he persuaded SOE to adopt one-off ciphers printed on silk that could be easily destroyed, or hidden in the lining of clothing; cyanide was provided in case the ruse failed. These innovations were later said to have hastened the Allied victory by three months.
'Brilliantly funny, savage, often desperately moving'
This edition features a striking binding with a silk panel on the front board. Marks's poem 'The life that I have', which he gave as a code to the SOE agent Violette Szabo, is blocked onto the silk, and the coloured endpapers reproduce an original coding. Sections of illustrations include portraits of agents such as Marks's friend 'Tommy' Yeo-Thomas, the 'White Rabbit', taken just eight hours before he parachuted into France, and pictures of operation sites such as the Norsk Hydro. Simon Mawer is the author of a much-praised novel about SOE, The Girl Who Fell From the Sky (published as Trapeze in the U.S.). In his introduction, he rightly says that though much has been written about the SOE, ' there is nothing like Between Silk and Cyanide.'

Bears-Browns preview: Linebackers have to step it up a notch
Of the three levels of the defense — line, linebackers, secondary — a team can perhaps get by best with a subpar linebacking corps on the second level. Does that make it an ideal scenario? No. Because a good defense will be solid on all three levels. But the problems the Bears face at this position don't concern me as much as those on the other two levels.
Still, I want the Bears to be Super Bowl competitive this year, and there are issues that still remain for them at the linebacker position.
Perhaps the most alarming is that perennial Pro Bowler Lance Briggs has looked a step slow this preseason. I'm one who believes that you can't put too much stock into a player's preseason performance, citing evidence of Charles Tillman's first Pro Bowl year in 2011, when he looked simply awful in the preseason and went on to have a great regular season. But speed and agility are not necessarily something that you can turn on and off at your own whim.
If Briggs can at least be a good player — not even a Pro Bowler — then the Bears will at least have some stability at linebacker. But questions at middle and strong side backer still remain.
D.J. Williams and Jon Bostic are listed as co-starters at middle linebacker, but I believe the job should belong to Williams as long as he is healthy enough to play. He missed most of last year with a torn pectoral muscle, but was coming into his own prior to that injury. With a defense that's trying to improve drastically from last year, enough to help aide the offense in a pursuit of a championship, the Bears could use Williams' veteran leadership at the position.
Meanwhile, on the strong side, Shea McClellin is still a newbie. He's going to have a learning curve while learning the new position on the job, but the question is: where does the curve end and his job performance begin? The Bears can't afford him making mistakes in crucial situations. I'm all for letting McClellin have a grace period at the position, but if his performance is hampering the rest of the defense in key scenarios, the plug has to be pulled at some point.
The Bears will have some decisions to make on the rest of their depth chart. With Briggs, Williams, Bostic, and McClellin locking down positions, that leaves likely two available slots. My money is on second-year pro Khaseem Greene and undrafted rookie Christian Jones to fill out the roster.

Kentucky is coming off a dominating victory over Mississippi State on Thursday, earning its third straight double-digit victory in league play. The Wildcats secured an 83-60 win over the Bulldogs behind outrebounding MSU, 49-34, and committing single-digit turnovers for the first time this season. UK shot 44.8% from the field in the game, limiting MSU to just 35.4%, including 29.4% from 3. Freshman guard Maci Morris led Kentucky with a career-high tying 17 points, while junior guard Makayla Epps had 16 points, eight rebounds and five assist.
During Kentucky's recent three-game winning streak, the Wildcats are shooting 47.8% from the floor, including 40% from 3, scoring 74.7 points per game. In the three games, Kentucky is averaging 15.3 assists per game, only turning the ball over 11.3 times per game and forcing opponents into 16.3 miscues per game.
The win over Mississippi State was Kentucky's fourth win over a ranked foe this season and seventh win over a team either ranked or receiving votes in the national rankings at the time UK played them. The Wildcats will conclude regular-season play against tough competition, facing an Arkansas team Sunday with three wins over ranked foes, before Missouri, who is receiving votes in both rankings, next Thursday. The regular season finale will be at No. 12/12 Texas A&M.
Arkansas enters the week with an 11-15 record, including a 6-7 mark in league play. The Razorbacks are 1-8 on the road this season, including a 1-5 mark away from home in SEC play. Arkansas has played a difficult conference schedule with seven games against ranked foes. The Razorbacks have won three of those games with victories over then-No. 13/10 Texas A&M, then-No. 13/15 Tennessee and then-No. 24 Missouri.
Arkansas is coming off a home win over Alabama on Thursday, taking down the Crimson Tide, 69-67. Jessica Jackson led Arkansas with 20 points, adding eight rebounds, while Jordan Danberry hit the game-winning shot and had 12 points with 10 assists. The Razorbacks had 19 turnovers, but forced Alabama into 22 miscues.
Jackson leads the way for Arkansas with 16.6 points per game, including 6.6 rebounds per game and a team-high 29 blocks. Devin Cosper is averaging 8.5 points per game with 40 assists, while Danberry leads the team with 61 assists averaging 6.8 points per game.
Sunday's meeting between Kentucky and Arkansas is the 32nd all-time between the two schools in women's basketball. Kentucky leads the all-time series, 19-13, including a 12-3 mark in games played in Lexington, Kentucky.
Kentucky has won five straight meetings between the two teams, including the lone meeting last year in Fayetteville, when UK claimed a 56-51 victory. The Wildcats have won seven straight home games against the Razorbacks dating back to the 2005 season, including four of those seven games by double-digits. Matthew Mitchell is 9-1 in his tenure at Kentucky against Arkansas.

Head Coach Matthew Mitchell Pre-Arkansas News Conference
Opening statement…
"First of all, Sunday is a special day. Coach Kay Yow did so much for women's basketball and did so much for breast cancer awareness and the Kay Yow Fund is raising millions of dollars to fight breast cancer and to make us all aware of that. I knew Coach Yow and she had a profound impact on my career and my life, as she has so many people. We would love for people to come out Sunday. We already have a huge crowd with a lot of tickets sold. There are a few left and we would love to have a sell out and if you would feel moved to donate to the Kay Yow Fund, I would be extremely grateful and appreciative to that.
Also, we are going to be giving out the Sue Feamster Trailblazer Award. Coach Feamster was our first coach here at UK and paved the way for all of us who followed her and got this program off the ground. We give an award every year for someone who has helped advance women in athletics and this year the very first female commissioner of the KHSAA, Brigid DeVries, will be honored and we are very happy about that. Brigid has meant so much to so many people here in the Commonwealth. So we are excited to celebrate those two things on Sunday and wanted to mention that before we shift our focus to Arkansas.
Arkansas is a very tough team and has had some great victories in the conference this year. They are tough defensively and cause a lot of problems with how hard they play and they have one of the best players in the league. So it will be a real challenge for us. We will go back to work today and see if we can continue our improvement on the defensive end and see if we can stay in a posture of hustle. That is really what this team needs to be all about on the offensive and defensive end, is to really outhustle their opponent every chance we get. So tall task for us on Sunday, but we are excited to start our preparations for Arkansas."
On how he makes sure the team doesn't have a letdown performance Sunday …
"Well, I think some of those experiences have gotten through to the team. We have had some real disappointments in the conference and I think that all of those – I really believe – that they have sharpened us and shaped us and developed us. I choose to really trust these players right now and that they understand what our formula is now. It really is a great thing to see because we got to a certain point in this program playing with a lot of heart and a lot of determination and a lot of grit. I just felt like over time sometimes people walk into that situation and they don't have to earn that, that that is just the way it is. I feel like this team, were we have been humbled it has been good to us, because now they understand that we are not just showing up because you are at Kentucky and winning. This particular team has to do it for themselves and go out and earn it. It has been hard. I don't know that anybody was feeling really good about where we were at 4-6, but to their credit they just kept working and have been working. They are hard workers and we are not perfect, but they are a really good group of young women and have demonstrated some high character. I can't tell you what is going to happen on Sunday, but we are going to try like heck to make them understand why we have been successful and what we are going to need to do on Sunday. It is not a real different set of circumstances than Thursday night. It is a different opponent, but very similar. They are tough and will drive you and have a dynamic playmaker. We just need to stick with our formula of being really tough."
On the performance of the freshmen last night …
"It was a lot of fun to watch them and there was a reason why they were making plays. They were reading the situations and following the preparation that they put in and that was fun to watch. They all had success and it was not an accident. They really worked hard. All three of them stay on the floor every day. I am looking out there now and they are out there now before practice, and nobody is telling them to do that. They are three hardworking players that have all had some difficulties to work through and they still have a lot of room to grow and they will. It was fun to watch them last night, they really did a good job."
On Maci Morris being more than just a shooter …
"No, I saw her as being a complete basketball player. She was a lot of fun to watch and I knew we were getting much more than a shooter. Sometimes when you just drive by a situation and get a glimpse of it, you seem to take a snapshot of something and make that the full picture and that is really not what you saw if you watched Maci over and over. And we had the benefit of time watching her in a lot of different situations. She is a heck of a basketball player that is only going to get better because her mind is strong and her work ethic is strong and she is going to get more explosive and faster and stronger. That is just what we have had success developing players. But we wanted her to drive the ball last night and we wanted six or more paint points for her last night in trying to get her mindset on trying to get into the paint because we thought she could drive those players at Mississippi State and she did a fantastic job of that."
On if he had any concerns on if she would be able to get through a long season …
"Well, we were thinking all of those freshmen were going to have veterans in front of them and we were going to be able to bring them along and they weren't going to have to play the volume of minutes, but it's been a blessing for them because they have got great experience. I think they have learned a lot through the struggle of the season and last night it looked like maybe them coming out on the other side of the storm because they really played some good ball last night, all three of them. But you always have concerns about freshmen and the length they can play. A lot of kids are in the state tournament right now and it's over. And we have hopefully another month of playing. So you do concern yourself on trying to prepare for that and encourage them and keep their spirits high. But I tell you, I think that is why it is so important for us to try to recruit high character players and all three of those are great examples of the kind of people we are trying to get in this program and keep in this program. They are doing a good job right now and last night probably gives them a little boost of confidence right here. As far as the long season goes, I think the middle part of it is the toughest because you don't really see the light at the end of the tunnel. I think now, you can kind of see the end point and the tournament is here and you get excited about those things. I feel good about where everybody is right now physically and mentally and we need to try to work hard and get another victory on Sunday."
On last night's win for confidence …
"Big, last night was a huge win just for so many reasons. You jump up in the RPI. You get a road win against a top-25 RPI team at the time. You score a bunch of points. You play good defense. You follow the scouting report and it all falls into place. It just does a lot for your confidence and last night was a huge win on so many fronts. I am just so proud of them because they worked so hard to earn it. They really worked hard to get that victory."

Can't eat and seriously uner weight
My partner was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic at the beginning of September and is seriously under weight. I am struggling to get an effective mount of calories in her even with several small meals in the day. She didn't like nuts or avocados. I've looked at protein drinks etc but they all seem to be carb or sugar loaded... Any ideas and advice would really be welcomed.
P.s. Yes I am trying to get her to go back to her diabetes nurse.

"Ndumie and Millicent decided to fight back against the rapists and the lack of accountability for their crimes. From a Cape Town safehouse for survivors of 'corrective rape,' the women created a petition on Change.org targeting South African Justice Minister Jeffrey Radebe.
"Please, they wrote, declare 'corrective rape' a hate crime, which would both empower and require South African police to take a harder line on the vicious crime.
"Click here to add your name to the petition."
"Hector was severely beaten. He spent two months in convalescence, and when he tried to report what happened, he received death threats.
"Fearing for his life, Hector fled Honduras and came to the U.S. He met and got engaged to Hilda, a U.S. citizen who wants to keep Hector here with her. Now ICE is trying to deport Hector instead. Hilda started a petition on Change.org to keep the man she loves at home where he belongs. Click here to sign Hilda's petition."
"The Foxconn workers stand until their legs swell and they can't walk. They perform repetitive motions on the production line for so long that some permanently lose the use of their hands. Last month, 300 workers threatened to jump off the roof over a missing paychecks."
"The Amateur International Boxing Association is considering the new dress code because it thinks skirts will make female boxers look "elegant" and help "distinguish" them from their male counterparts."
"Republican right-wingers are trying to use the deficit reduction talks to further their extremist agenda to end Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security... Republicans aren't interested in doing what's right - we have to make them."

Tax attorneys understand the interplay of different tax laws and regulations, and in planning strategies to minimize people's tax liabilities. Many tax laws are written by lawyers for lawyers, and as such are very difficult to understand. There are also many different types of taxes and tax laws–for example, income taxes, corporate and business taxes, death taxes, property taxes, estate and gift taxes, sales taxes, and international taxes. Sometimes taxes are based on an inflated or incorrect value the government has placed on an entity or activity. Tax attorneys will help you challenge the value or the tax itself, and help you reduce your taxes through careful planning.

President Obama and America's Paradigmatic Change
Christopher J.Finlay writes:
The election of a mixed-race president who made innovative use of the internet to mobilise campaign volunteers and reach new voters may have ushered in a new paradigm in American politics, says Kathleen Burk, Professor of History at University College London, and author of the recent volume Old World, New World: The Story of Britain and America.
Professor Burk, the invited speaker at the Reuters Institute seminar at the University of Oxford on February 18th, 2009, likened the significance of the move to internet campaigning in 2008 to the move of campaigns to television in 1950s America. Professor Burk presented this as a positive development, emphasising a return to greater interaction between the voting public and presidential candidates. If television marked the end of the whistle-stop tour in American politics, the internet could be said to mark its return, at least in a virtual sense.
Kathleen Burk said that the Obama team was able to turn this greater level of interaction into mobilisation, voter outreach, and fundraising. She emphasised how the Obama campaign built upon Howard Dean's 2004 use of the internet to build a substantial campaign war chest primarily via small online donations.
In addition, the speaker also emphasised the low cost of internet campaigning and suggested that this could challenge the existing financial barrier that many potential American politicians face. In the internet age, American presidential candidates will 'no longer need to have millionaire friends', she said.
While the speaker emphasised the positive implications of the internet, she did suggest some caveats. These included whether the American president would be able to retain the link to the grassroots cyber-campaigners who helped elect him and whether these same supporters would use this technology to rally against him should he not meet their very high expectations.
Professor Burk also discussed the concern that while we don't know exactly who the internet reaches, it has traditionally skewed towards the young. Younger people have traditionally had much lower voter turnout rates than older Americans. However, Burk suggested that the Obama campaign's focus on young Americans may well have socialised a new generation into voters, potentially marking another paradigmatic shift in American political culture.
Kathleen Burk contended that the paradigmatic change in American politics extended beyond the influence of new media. While she conceded that Obama's popularity was largely due to the fact that he wasn't George W. Bush, she highlighted the historic election of a candidate who 'is mixed race, which equals black' in the United States. Professor Burk suggested that this led many Americans to feel a sense of closure with regards to the issues of race that have lingered throughout American history, from slavery and the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement. However, she warned that this enthusiasm for closure could obscure continued racial inequity in the United States.
Professor Burk also emphasised 'the phenomenal resurgence of pro-US sentiment abroad' after the election of Barack Obama. At the same time, however, she did voice concern about whether anybody would be able to shoulder the burden of expectations, both domestic and foreign, that the new American president has.

Despite typically claiming to be neutral or uninvolved in the promotion of particular social goods, liberal regimes mobilize their immense procedural machines to the end of establishing two absolute and final goods—equality and freedom, or what Kalb derisively calls "equal freedom." This establishment requires a massive bureaucracy and constant policing "dedicated to the control and transformation of human life." And while it proclaims "tolerance" and a sense of "fairness" as the two complementary cardinal virtues guiding or delimiting individual freedom, we have seen that the liberal public square proves very intolerant of any moral or intellectual claims that challenge the exclusive hegemony of tolerance. Further, liberal regimes hasten beyond the purview of mere proceduralism in the name of establishing "fairness" in the diverse substantive affairs of social life to the point of rendering freedom an insignificant good. ~ James Matthew Wilson

|[jira] Commented: (IO-86) Add DirectoryWalker based on FileFinder
|Thu, 21 Sep 2006 16:56:23 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-86?page=comments#action_12436582 ] Niall Pemberton commented on IO-86: ----------------------------------- Providing something for cancellation is a good idea, but I agree we shouldn't introduce any performance penalty when many implementations may not require it. How about putting in some of the plumbing to facilitate this, but leave out implementing the cancel flag - just have an isCancelled() method that returns false that people can then override/implement in whatever way they want? > Add DirectoryWalker based on FileFinder > --------------------------------------- > > Key: IO-86 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-86 > Project: Commons IO > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 1.2 > Reporter: Niall Pemberton > Fix For: 1.3 > > Attachments: FileFinder.java, FileFinderTestCase.java, io-filefinder-start-end.patch > > > I'd like to propose adding a "FileFinder" back into Commons IO. This is a simplified version of what was recently moved out of Commons IO into the "finder" component currently in the sandbox. > I believe this is a simpler, more generic implementation than the finder component and therefore would be considered suitable for inclusion in Commons IO. Although simpler it could be used as the basis for achieving the finder component's aims - namely to emulate the unix find command. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

The Hanif was a human tribe, seed of the Empire known as Yodotai. They returned to their homeland in the Burning Sands to became free of the Yodotai yoke.
Day of Wrath Edit
These people lived before the Day of Wrath in the place which would be known as the Burning Sands. After Shilah, the Sun, enacted her anger, and the lush place became a desert, the people began to travel, seeking farmable lands. They arrived to a place where they would be known as the Hanif. [1]
Meeting of the ancestors Edit
The Hanif lived in small towns, and they had confidence one to each other to survive, they were called the Hanif. In these days they did not know anything about Gods. [2]
Dawn of the Yodotai Edit
In the year 45 a light appeared in a hill in the middle of the Hanif lands. A wise elder approached who seemed to be a spirit resembling a great warrior. He was Conquest, spirit of one of the dead sons of Caelus, the Sky, and Gaia, the Earth. They talked three days and nights, and when they finished the elder told his people about how the the children of the Gods had been thrown from the heavens. The arrival of Conquest, Deity of War, was the beginning of the expansionistic Yodotai Empire, which would be the heralds of the Gods and had the divine duty as conquerors of the whole continent. The elder died after he ended his tale. His son, Octavius, stepped forth and claimed the leadership of the Yodotai. Those who did not accepted him left these lands, and they remained to be known as the Hanif. [3]
The Hanif knew the Yodotai were entirely unreasonable, and that was why they had left the nascent Yodotai Empire centuries ago, retruning to the place known as the Burning Sands. [4]
Sheel Edit
An offspring of the Hanif became the Sheel Kingdom. The Hanif resumed their path toward the east, and hundred kilometers afar they could reach Medinaat al-Salaam. [5]
Shinsei Edit
The trek into the desert took its toll, and the appearation of a small prophet, Mekhem, saved them to die in the sands. [6] The little prophet guided them back to their homelands. When they returned another empire, the Senpet, attacked to enslave them. The nation broke in fourteen tribes, and the eleventh went with Mekhem. [1]
Senpet Edit
The Hanif were enslaved by the Senpet to work in their mines. [4] The only tribe who remained free was the Eleventh Tribe, which became a legend between the Hanif. [1]
12th century Edit
The Hanif slaves claimed that the spirit of the Little Prophet had appeared between them, but the newcomer slaves, the Scorpion, called him with another name, [6] Shinsei.
Soraph, the Hanif Idol Edit
Soraph became an idol for his attitude against their Lords, [7] and in 1132 he eventually managed to escape, [8] contacted the Yodotai Warlord Aurelian, [9] who quickly swore to change their fate. [10]
Escapees Edit
The prophet Duqaq snuck into the mines of the Senpet and inspired the Hanif and the Scorpion to throw off their chains and turn on their captors. With his leadership they had managed to distract the Senpet until the Yodotai arrived to liberate the slaves. [4] The Scorpion fell in with the fleeing Hanif, and while the Senpet hunted the others, they vanished out into the sands. [11]
Moto Gaheris Edit
The enslaved Hanif tried to elude the pursuing Senpet, but it appeared that they would nearly all be recaptured this night. Then, without warning, the Moto Clan Champion, Moto Gaheris, arose from the Burning Sands and aided them to be free. [12]
Erba'a Alliance Edit
They joined the Erba'a Alliance and fought in the Shattering of the Jewel, [4] manning the catapults alongside the Moto and commanded by the Yodotai. The volleys broke the city walls. [13] During the Awakening the Alliance was defeated by the Senpet when a lightning decimated their ranks. [14]
Freedom Edit
Their cousins, the Yodotai, began the Yodotai Invasion of Senpet lands as punishment for the Hanif slavery. When they got victory in 1160 the Hanif in these lands were again free men. [15] They could began to seek their lost tribe, the Eleventh. [1]

Description: We rely on science to tell us everything from what to eat to when and how long to exercise, but what about relationships? Is there a scientific explanation for why some people seem to navigate relationships effortlessly, while others struggle? According to psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel Heller, the answer is a resounding "yes." In Attached, Levine and Heller reveal how an understanding of adult attachment-the most advanced relationship science in existence today-can help us find and sustain love. Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment posits that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways: * Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back * Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness. * Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving. In this book Levine and Heller guide readers in determining what attachment style they and their mate (or potential mate) follow, offering a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections with the people they love.

Please note: we do not offer StudentDay@theCenter workshops during the summer - if you are interested in our summer offerings please see our Summer@theCenter page
Current Program Offerings at the Center for Architecture in Greenwich Village:
THE LANGUAGE OF ARCHITECTURE (grades K - 6)
Students will learn how to 'read' buildings for clues about their design and function as they observe and sketch architectural elements through an interactive slide show or neighborhood walk (weather permitting May - October). Using these new concepts, students will then design their own building facades.
STRUCTURES AND STRENGTH: SKYSCRAPERS (grades K - 12)
Students will learn about the structural systems that support tall buildings through an interactive slide talk and hands-on demonstrations. Students then create and test their own models of a skyscraper's structural frame.
BUILDING BRIDGES (grades 2 - 12)
Students learn about the design and structure of four different types of bridges (beam, arch, truss and suspension) and how each works to support the load of traffic and span long distances. Each student then creates their own working suspension bridge model to take home.
GREEN BUILDINGS (grades 3 - 12)
Students work with our modified version of the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) checklist to create a model of a green structure. The checklist will challenge students to think about the importance of site planning, improving energy efficiency, conserving materials and resources, enhancing indoor environmental quality, and capturing rain and gray water for reuse.
SCALE MODEL BUILDING (grades 6 - 12)
In this program, students hone their measurement and math skills as they create their own scale building models. Students create ½" = 1' scale rulers and scale figures and use these to design and build their own scale apartment models and furnishings. A fun way to enrich your math curriculum!
NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN (grades 5 – 12)
Students work in groups to create a model of an ideal neighborhood based on planning and zoning guidelines. Students come to understand how neighborhoods develop and the complex factors that shape the growth of cities.
BUILD A GEODESIC DOME (grades 5 – 12)
The whole class participates in putting together a 14 foot geodesic dome, a unique structural form made famous by engineer and inventor Buckminster Fuller. Students build individual models to take home, based on the geometry of the dome. (At least four adults chaperones required.)
EXHIBITION PROGRAMS (grades 2 - 12)
One-hour exhibition tours can be extended with a one-hour hands-on workshop exploring the themes presented in the exhibition.

Presidential Candidates on Student Loan Debt
Presidential candidates weigh in on student loan debt.
By Kathryn Knight Randolph
April 27, 2016
We are months away from the next Presidential Election, but that doesn't mean presidential hopefuls on both sides of the aisles haven't already been vocal about on one pretty important topic to college students: student loan debt.
Former Secretary of State and Democratic Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, has issued statements about college affordability and student loan debt since the start of her campaign. She provides a detailed look at her proposals in the New College Compact. The big components, though, include making public four-year colleges free and providing current borrowers with the chance to refinance their loans at the current rates.
Bernie Sanders, U.S. Senator and the other Democratic Presidential candidate, would also like to see free tuition at four-year public colleges. He would also like to see the federal government reduce student loan interest rates and allow borrowers the opportunity to refinance at today's lower interest rates. His plan would be financed by taxing Wall Street, stating that if the banks can get a big bailout, so can college students.
Donald Trump agrees with Bernie Sanders on one thing: he also believes the federal government should stop profiting from the student loan industry. Other than that, Trump has not really voiced his views on higher education and student loan debt. He has stated that he will cut the Department of Education's budget, which would affect federally funded grants, subsidized student loans and work study programs.
Ted Cruz also hasn't outlined a plan for college affordability and student loan debt. Rather, he plans to dissolve the Department of Education. Again, this would impact grants, student loans and work study programs. NASFAA states that Cruz would like to see federal financial aid under the control of states.
Finally, John Kasich, of all the Republican Presidential candidates, has actually outlined a plan for keeping college affordable. He wants to encourage students to take college credit courses while in high school, and keep colleges accountable to educating students successfully by either giving or refusing funding based on graduation rates. In Ohio, Kasich has actually enacted tuition freezes in order to keep college costs in check.
The different presidential candidates present a spectrum of beliefs and policies on college affordability and student loan debt, which will hopefully become clearer – and weigh more heavily – in the fight for the White House. As you follow the Presidential Election, what do you hope to see from candidates in terms of their promises to make college more affordable and alleviate the issue of student loan debt?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/6/2013 (1490 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TORONTO -- Porter Airlines is confident the CS100 aircraft on which the airline has built its expansion plan will prove to be as quiet as Bombardier has promised.
But if it isn't, Porter isn't locked into the agreement, CEO Robert Deluce said Friday.
"If the aircraft doesn't meet the specs that we have been given by Bombardier, very simple -- we don't want their airplane," Deluce said during a speech at the Toronto Region Board of Trade.
"My guess is they're going to bring an airplane that performs better than they've guaranteed, because we have some performance penalties and guarantees in our contract."
Porter Airlines has asked the city, Transport Canada and the Toronto Port Authority to amend a tripartite agreement that prevents jets from using Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport except under special circumstances.
The expansion plans will also require Porter to extend the island airport's runway by 168 metres at both ends, a process that will involve filling in part of the lake.
Porter has already placed a conditional order for 12 CS100 aircraft, with 18 options, worth about US$2.08 billion. The greater range of the CS100 will allow the airline to fly to destinations like Los Angeles, Florida, Calgary and the Caribbean from Toronto.
Deluce says Bombardier's C series is expected to come in at 85.7 decibels. That's within one decibel of the Q400 turboprop Porter currently operates, which comes in at 85 decibels.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. —Malik Zaire will make his first career start at quarterback for Notre Dame on Tuesday when the Irish take on LSU in the Music City Bowl.
Fighting Irish coach Brian Kelly made the announcement at a joint news conference Monday with Tigers counterpart Les Miles that the sophomore would start instead of senior Everett Golson. Kelly said both quarterbacks will play.
Zaire replaced Golson in the second quarter of the regular-season finale against Southern California after Golson's 22nd turnover of the season.
"We're obviously going to play both quarterbacks," Kelly said. "(Tuesday) is about 2014; it's not about 2015. Our focus is on winning (Tuesday's) football game, and so we think that playing both of them gives us the best chance to win. We'll figure out 2015 in January."
Kelly's idea on how the timeshare will shake out depends on the QBs' "success and how they play."
"I don't think this is going to be scripted one series here; we're going to have to get the feel and the flow of the game," Kelly said.
Zaire, a left-handed, dual-threat quarterback, enters the game having completed 9 of 20 passes for 170 yards and a rushing touchdown — all of that coming against USC.
Golson, the starter on Notre Dame's team that lost the 2012 BCS Championship Game, started all 12 games for the Irish this season after missing 2013 while serving an academic suspension. He arrives in Nashville having completed 250 of 416 passes for 3,355 yards, 29 scores and 14 interceptions.
"I want to put Malik in a position and really challenge him," Kelly said. "I'm very pleased with what Everett has done over the past two weeks. He's made very good progress. We still have a great deal of confidence in his ability, or we would have just named one starter. I really think I want to challenge him and put him in this kind of environment. He's playing against a great defense in LSU, and we'll learn about him."
Asked whether he was able to watch a lot of film on Zaire, Miles said, referring to the USC game, "two and a half quarters" before turning to Kelly and asking, "That's about it, right?"
Kelly responded: "That's it. That's all I've got."
Offensive defense
A Notre Dame defense that was looking pretty stout the first five games of the season was anything but in the second half of the year.
The Irish opened the season 6-0, but the defensive deficiencies in Game 6 foreshadowed the rest of the regular season. Notre Dame, which allowed just 60 points over the first five games (12 per game), surrendered 43 in a 50-43 win against North Carolina, and the flood gates opened. Including the UNC game, the Irish closed the regular season 2-5, lost their last four games and allowed 291 points (41.6 per game).
Lost during the slide were linebacker and team MVP Joe Schmidt (ankle), tackle Jarron Jones (Lisfranc) and safety Drue Tranquill (knee).
"We talk a lot about injuries, but we only have three guys out from the Florida State game," Kelly said of the Oct. 18 contest with the Seminoles. "Three pretty good guys, granted, and we'd like them back, but the fact of the matter is we should be able to find a way to grind it out, and that's what we're looking to do."
Defensive tackle Sheldon Day, battling a sprained MCL that cost him the final two games of the season and will leave him less than 100 percent Tuesday, said the 15 extra practices and being a month removed from the fourth straight loss have given Notre Dame time to reflect and recharge.
"It was a team effort of not being locked into the little things, paying attention to the details like we should have," he said. "It kind of gave us a refresh button as far as the season goes. Try to get our focus back on the details and the technique of the game."
Notre Dame's roster does not feature any players from Louisiana, and LSU's roster does not have a player from Indiana. The Tigers do have two players from the Chicago area: linebacker Clifton Garrett and center Ethan Pocic. ... Several players attended high school together, including Notre Dame receiver Corey Robinson and LSU defensive tackle Trey Lealaimatafao; Notre Dame cornerback Cody Riggs and LSU defensive tackle Maquedius Bain; Notre Dame safety Tyler Price and LSU kicker Kyle Pfau; Notre Dame quarterback Montgomery VanGorder and LSU long snapper Reid Ferguson and guard Vadal Alexander; and Notre Dame safety Nicky Baratti and LSU offensive lineman Justin Mikush.

If someone needs a family lawyer, he or she should definitely hire John Tannenberg. I hired him as a referral from the family law department at USD law school. They said he was one of the best attorneys in San Diego. They were right. John Tannenberg is the ideal lawyer because of his intelligence, dedication, knowledge of the law, ability to argue effectively, and his basic understanding of human nature. When discussing my case, John was always very quick to get to the heart of the matter. His mind works very fast. This helps me as a client because it means less billable hours due to his efficient use of time. This helped in the courtroom too because he could respond quickly with an effective counterargument against the opposing lawyer. He really knows people well -- including what a judge will likely think of a given argument or scenario. A good lawyer needs to do this in order to best make an argument that will work effectively in the courtroom. He is great at this. During our trial, he read the judge very well and knew when to press an issue and when to back off or leave something off the table. His arguments were well thought out and organized. It was easy for the judge to follow what he was doing because his points were laid out in an orderly and logical fashion. Throughout my trial, I could tell he was personally invested. He seemed to care about my well being and the outcome of the case. I was an emotional mess at times throughout the long drawn out case, yet he never judged and consistently offered support. He helped me get custody back with my 8 year old son and even helped me get 10,000 dollars in legal fees!

John talks a good game but when it actually comes time to delivering, defending or representing you, he will let you down. His knowledge of the law is OK but when it comes to applying it to represent you, he falls short. He represented me 3 different times. Most recently over a year ago. He was supposed to defend against accusations by my ex dealing with a stipulation that John himself wrote several years ago. The stipulation was so poorly written that my ex was able to use the "holes" to try and get paid for something I had already paid her for. John was ill prepared for the hearing and did a poor job of representing me. He seemed much more interested in preserving his relationship with the opposing attorney and the judge thatn winning my case. I could have saved $20K and reprsented myself and had much better results. He is very expensive and overcharges. I can not recommend him for family law at all. He needs to retire and move on.

I used him 20 years ago, but in retrospect, whatever calculation he used for child support, I really got the short end of the stick from my ex-husband. He also billed me for the extra time it took to correct his [paralegal's] errors and typos, then billed me for the cost of printing and mailing the corrections. I wrote a letter to him and his partners, explaining I was deducting my own time and expense from the final bill. I never heard back from any of them.

|Re: Clustering
|Fri, 14 Oct 2005 13:01:14 GMT
Can we level-set the conversation (in this subthread) by describing the current clustering options available in Geronimo. It seems that Tomcat and Jetty already have some level of web tier clustering. Can a geronimo user easily leverage this support? Specifically, Tomcat supports Load Balancing via JK connector/mod_proxy/balancer, HttpSession failover via file/database/memory replication, sticky session, etc.. Though it seems that some of the configuration/management depends on tomcat server.xml.. Can geronimo users currently easily leverage this web tier clustering? I understand that Tomcat and Jetty provide only Web tier solutions and don't address EJB, JNDI, JDBC, JMS.. Though just wondering whether how relevant their web tier solutions are to geronimo. Also, how does Tangosol Coherence fit in? Is this an application level clustering solution?

One of the Scottish national symbols is kilt, a traditional garment of modern Scottish and Celtic (more specifically Gaelic) culture typically worn by men (from Wikipedia).
The original kilt was known as the feileadh mhór (philamore) or "big wrap". After the ban and during the 1800s the kilt evolved into something like what we wear today. This is known in Gaelic as the feileadh beag (philabeg) or little wrap.
The top and bottom parts were separated, the top half (the plaid) being worn over the shoulder and detachable for comfort. The bottom part was now tailored with sewn in pleats but no hire companies were on the horizon just yet.
Originally the apron of the garment (the front part) was left unattached but one story, possibly apocryphal, has it that during a visit by Queen Victoria kilt wearers were subjected to strong winds revealing to her majesty what was worn underneath! Perhaps that's why she became so fond of Scotland.
The kilt has now become more like formal dress wear rather than a practical garment. It is commonly worn in Scotland at occasions like weddings and formal functions and is acceptable on all occasions where dress code is black tie. The Kilt can be worn in conjunction with various other garments such as 'The Bonny Prince Charlie Jacket,' 'The Argyle Jacket,' or the military jabot, and with belt and buckle, sporran (the furry purse), bow tie, kilt pin, kilt hose (socks), sgian dubh (real blade or replica -tucked into the socks), garter flashes, and ghillie brogues (shoes).
Good kilt is made from 100% wool and it can be either 4 yards (3.7 meter) or 8 yards (7.3 meter) long! The back half of the kilt is pleated, the front half (apron) is two overlapping panels. A true kilt is completely handmade, and combine with the material required and its accessories, no wonder that one kilt package can easily costs more than £600 (USD 12,000 or Rp 12 millions!). And it's also very heavy. The kilt set can weight up to 6 kilograms! Check how they make the kilt here.
The tartan – criss-crossed pattern with unique sequence of colours and shades- of a Scottish clan is authorised by the clan society for use by members of that clan for kilts, ties, and other garments and decorations. Every clan with a society has at least one distinct tartan. Now there are also many tartans registered for families, districts, or institutions (click here or here for example). It is considered proper to wear a clan tartan if the wearer is associated with the clan by name, by blood (from the mother's side as well as the father's) or by legal adoption.
True Scotsman wears nothing underneath the kilt (unless if it is hired one, for hygienic purpose). And no, it's not a rumour or a fairytale. But where can you see guys in kilt in Jakarta and make sure that they are indeed true Scotsmen? Well, St. Andrew's Ball (usually is held in every November) and Jakarta Highland Gathering (this year it will be held on Sunday, 25 May) would be good places to go.

By Bill Keveney, USA TODAY
The great national nightmare/American dream is over. Sanjaya Malakar is gone.
American Idol voters Wednesday dumped the 17-year-old from Federal Way, Wash., whose surprising longevity had become a topic of national debate.
'IDOL' CHATTER: Are you glad to see him go?
Despite frequent criticism of his vocal skills from Idol judges, music critics and many fans, Sanjaya survived until the final seven, supported many believe by legions of girls and teens drawn to his youthful charm, engaging smile and showstopping hairstyles.
Sanjaya's performance Tuesday was so bad that even his supporters couldn't extend his stay, according to USA TODAY's Idol coaches.
"It pains me to agree with Simon, but Sanjaya's performance of Bonnie Raitt's Something to Talk About was horrendous, a clam-filled cioppino of misplaced 'talent' and conspicuous support — three back-up vocalists accompanied him through most of his gallant ride," says Gene Sculatti, one of four Idol coaches.
Sanjaya's choice of Raitt's classic was "inexplicable," USA TODAY coach Christina Warren says, and the teen, in perhaps a more telling indictment, "failed to be interesting."
"Not even his famous hair could save him," she says. "It was just plain awful — superseding that 'so bad it's good/funny/entertaining place.' "
In recent weeks, Sanjaya has become a pop culture phenomenon, talked about by many who don't even watch Idol, joked about by late-night comics and reported about by rival networks' newscasts. Many debated whether his continued presence was helping or hurting Idol.
Sanjaya's ouster eliminates Idol's potential nightmare, the possibility such a poorly regarded singer could win the contest, but his long run proves that voters consider far more than vocal prowess, says Rona Elliot, another USA TODAY coach.
Idol "is about the always elusive, indefinable qualities of charisma, attraction and connection," she says.
Besides receiving support from his true fans, Sanjaya also was championed by those laughing at his continued presence, including radio host Howard Stern and the operator and supporters of votefortheworst.com, which urges votes for bad singers "the producers would hate to see win."
Stern and the website received a lot of attention, but coach Don Waller thinks their influence on Sanjaya's vote is wildly exaggerated, based on the size of Idol's audience.
With Sanjaya gone, "the competition between the more, ahem, marketable contestants and the more talented vocalists will continue to heat up and the drama will continue," he says.
After Idol, the coaches think Sanjaya could have some short-term success, but he should move quickly. Waller suggests he investigate acting opportunities, if he has any ability, and go straight to the recording studio after the Idol summer tour.
"With judicious song selection — puppy-love ballads and sing-along pop confections — and the usual layers of high-gloss production, he could score one or two pop hits," he says.
