On the night before Christmas, Donald Trump attended midnight Mass, a service wishing peace and goodwill to all. But Trump's holiday spirit has its limits.
In a string of Twitter attacks, the Republican front-runner took credit for the Obama administration's plan to deport hundreds of illegal immigrants back to Central America, ridiculed Jeb Bush, and said, "I look forward to running against Hillary Clinton, a totally flawed candidate, and beating her soundly."

Waking up on the wrong side of the bed: the injustice of the social care system

Ever the Hunted | Waiting on Wednesday
Ever the Hunted
This is another that I found whilst scrolling through Goodreads. Ever the Hunted sounds exactly like a book I would love to read. Bounty hunters, bows and arrows and a hunt for a killer. My perfect recipe for a good book is someone with unknown potential which apparently this book has in spades.
Seventeen year-old Britta Flannery is at ease only in the woods with her dagger and bow. She spends her days tracking criminals alongside her father, the legendary bounty hunter for the King of Malam—that is, until her father is murdered. Now outcast and alone and having no rights to her father's land or inheritance, she seeks refuge where she feels most safe: the Ever Woods. When Britta is caught poaching by the royal guard, instead of facing the noose she is offered a deal: her freedom in exchange for her father's killer.
Doesn't that synopsis sound great? My only worry would be that they are trying to fit too much into one narrative. There are a lot of different threads to this story and I'm interested to see how they all come together. It's a risk but maybe they can pull it off, it's the first in a series so it doesn't have to all come together at the end.
I think the idea of having a girl that's good with a bow and arrow is becoming overdone. It's almost becoming a trope. So I'm hoping that they use it wisely and in an original manner. I don't know whether I could read another Katniss type character.

Collecting Comic Books As A Collectible
Collectors of comic books may choose from a variety of characters and in doing so they may also decide to statues, toys, prints, or posters of that character also to their collection. The character that a collector decides to base their collection on may be one of their childhood favorites.
Collectors might choose to build their collections on characters from Batman, Superman, Spider Man, or even X-Men. Every collector of comic books at some point will remember purchasing their first comic book and discovering the simple pleasure of reading about a variety of super heroes as they go through a variety of twist and trials while battling the bad guy. There are several characters that stand out as being considered as must have comic books, such as Spider Man.
When Marvel Comics released the Amazing Spider Man No. 121 in June of 1973, readers where shocked at what they found and thought this might be an end to Spider Man. Gwen Stacy, who was the love of Spider Man, was killed by the Green Goblin and this became truly controversial. In fact, fans were convinced this was the end of what they once knew, but this story line actually crossed over two complete issues. Marvel comic books was changed with the death of major characters, but Spider Man was not the only comic book that killed off major characters. In the X-Men storyline that began in 1976, which was also known as the Dark Phoenix Saga, it ended with the death of Jean Grey, who was one of the most popular X-Men ever. This storyline turned out to be the most popular story lines ever produced in the history of Marvel comic books.
Different year of production of comic books are known as different periods, such as the late 1950s to the 1960s was known as the Silver Age, while the early 1970s to the early 1980s was known as the Bronze Age. The early 1980s to the early 1990s was known as the Cooper Age and the mid 1990s to comic books that are presently being produced are known are the Modern Age. The Golden Age of comic books was during the anything prior to the early 1950s,. If a collector attempted to collect every single issue of Superman from the Golden Age to the Modern Age there would be seventy years of comics to collect and way over a million dollars to invest.
The best way to build a collection of comic books is by taking your time, and like the old saying goes Rome was not built in a day. Start your collection by slowly purchasing back issues of your favorite titles one by one. Purchasing comic books for your collection this way will enable you to determine any changes within the storyline, because when a storyline begins and then one ends in a comic book it is known as a story arc. The new story arcs are simply the best places for new readers to start their collections due to these seem to be the issues that are more popular.
Of course, comic books that were the first issues in a series and star popular guest characters like Batman, Superman, Spider Man, or Wolverine are normally the one that will increase the most in value in the end, but are also the ones that investment collectors search for too. Like any collectible, the best way to ensure your collection will maintain its worth is to store them in their best possible condition, which should be mint condition.

Here is the segment!
I thought she did a wonderful job And the piece was hilarious, even from an atheist perspective. If you know how Stephen Colbert does his interviews, then this fits right alongside all his others. If you've never seen the show before, you might be confused.

Dallas Roofing: Article About Repair Or Replace Roof
Homeowners should think of their roofs as more than just the home's fancy headdress. The roof is meant to protect the home. Many Dallas roofing options are considered for their curb appeal alone. The truth is homeowners need to be sure the materials on their roof are doing the right job. It is important for homeowners to be able to notice a roof in need of repair or a complete replacement.
The first item a homeowner should consider is the age of the roof. They should remember when the roof was installed and what the estimated lifespan was. Most roofs made from asphalt shingles will begin to decay about 15 or 20 years after initial installation. This is true even if the lifespan is expected to reach 25 or 30 years. Careful homeowners will notice signs of decay before they become unmanageable problems.
Next, one should check the condition of the shingles. Homeowners should check for missing shingles wherever they notice them. It is also good to check the shingles for tears. After many years on a roof, shingles can curl or split. The reason why this is important is because shingles will protect a roof against the weather. Missing or broken shingles will expose the components beneath, allowing water to seep in.
The flashing should also be checked.
The roofing experts at Total roofing of Dallas TX can assist you with any questions regarding residential roofing or gutters.
Flashing can be found around any object that protrudes from the roof, such as the chimney or vent pipes. Flashing is also installed wherever the roof meets between two slopes. This flashing is metal that will protect the roof against leaking. It is important to check for rusted or missing flashing, otherwise water can enter the home.
Another area homeowners should pay careful attention to is the gutters and downspout. If any paint chips or other chipping is found, the damage may necessitate repair or replacement of the gutter components to give water safe passage away from the roof.
Finally, the homeowner needs to check for interior damage to the home. If the ceiling or walls begin to show signs of decay, this is likely due to a leaking roof. One should check for water spots in the ceiling, cracked paint or plasterboard that has changed its color. If any of these symptoms of a roof leak are noticed within the home, the roof has more than cosmetic damage.
The extent of the damage mentioned above will determine whether a roof needs to be repaired or replaced. If the home's roof requires constant maintenance, this is likely caused by poor attic ventilation. Homeowners must take control of these problems early.

We cannot ethically continue to design roads in a way we do not give pedestrians and drivers a fighting chance to avoid tragedies.
Current speed limits in many Lehigh Valley town centers simply do not give folks a fighting chance. That was the case was in Emmaus in May. The 11 year old who lost her life wasn't the only victim. The elderly driver who has to live with this is also a victim. An investigation ruled correctly the driver was not at fault. The driver was obeying the posted speed limit.
Statistical reality caught up with us in the Borough that day. The same will happen in Macungie as it's inevitable with the current design of Main St.
In Emmaus, the 11 year girl was an unforeseen variable. Problem is 11 year olds tend to do that. No matter how well raised. So do elderly, the disabled, pets, someone who leaves a restaurant and had a glass of wine with dinner. I can go on and on but you get the point.
By nature and by design town centers are full of unpredictable variables. (that comes with density) They are complex environments. It's what makes them special places. Within them not everyone behaves in a predictable manner. This is a baseline. It is. You cannot change it. We have to accept it.
What can we change?
We can change the speed limit. We can change the road design to match the speed limit. The "inconvenience" factor relating drivers is negligible to non-existent. Let's quantify.
IF Chestnut St. was a straight shot with no stops, driveways, crosswalks etc. and considering the "business district" is 1 mile in length.
1 mile travel time: (roughly the length of Emmaus business district)
35 MPH – 1:45 seconds mile
25 MPH – 2:24 seconds to go 1 mile
Under the best (unlikely) scenario the difference is 39 seconds of travel time. Of course the route isn't a straight shot. The road has traffic signals, crosswalks and driveways. Statistical reality is that your almost never going to have that "straight shot" through town. Therefore, accelerating to 35 mph for brief periods of time to get from one obstacle to the next won't get you somewhere 39 seconds faster. Reality is it's just a few SECONDS quicker if anything at all. Not to mention the incredibly inefficient waste of gas/wear and tear on your automobile that comes with rapid accelerations/decelerations. And just the plain stupidity of accelerating from red light to the next.
On the flip slide there is an irrefutable and direct correlation between a 10 mph speed reduction and a reduction of both the frequency and severity of accidents. From 25 to 35 mph the death rate DOUBLES. (Triple A foundation for traffic studies) Full stop. Again, from 25 to 35 mph the death rate DOUBLES.
Give everyone a fighting chance.
First, it's my opinion you take the "convenience" of drivers where in measurable terms equals mere seconds of drive time completely out of the equation. It is an asinine argument. It's also an inflated argument where perception isn't reality. But let's say it was. To think seconds of your time is worth putting yourself and everyone around you at higher risk is incredibly selfish and tragic.
Reducing the speed limit on Main St. Macungie (35 to 25) Chestnut street in Emmaus (35 to 25) and Hamilton Boulevard in Lower Macungie (from 40-45 to a consistent 35mph) needs to happen now. Followed by aggressive traffic calming strategies so the physical design matches the posted speeds.
I know for a fact Macungie Borough, Emmaus Borough and Lower Macungie Township have all requested over the years lower speed limits on Chestnut, Main St. and the Boulevard. The problem each time from what I understand is Penndot. Somewhere there is a disconnect. Penndots own smart transpiration guidebook outlines a 25 mph desired operating speed on a "Main Street". In Lower Mac the catalyst for a request was actually Hamilton Crossings shopping center. Clearly,the developers understand slower speeds are good for business and the economy of the upstart Boulevard.
Common sense dictates lowering the speed limits. Standards reinforce it. Local municipalities who know the roads best have requested it. Residents have demanded it. So what is the issue here? When we set operating speed too high we have a statistical inevitable outcome of tragedy.
What we know:
- Slower speeds are safer for everyone
- The loss of travel time is negligible to non-existent
- Slower speeds in town centers actually ease congestion
- Slower speed is better for downtown businesses
You can also sum up this entire argument here. ELIMINATE STROADS! As deadly as a STRAOD designed too fast through a Borough is, a STROAD designed with highway geometry seemingly for 55+ mph but posted artificially at 45mph or containing traffic signals is just as dangerous.
Very few roads should be posted between 35mph and 55mph. That is the tragedy zone. Design it as a road (get people from A-B) or make it a street (multi modal value capture) But please, STOP BUILDING STROADS.

Asthma, exercise-induced meaning in Medical Dictionary
Asthma triggered by strenuous physical exercise. It mostly affects young ones and young adults for their large degrees of physical working out, but it may appear at all ages. Exercise-induced asthma is initiated because of the fall in airway heat during quick respiration followed closely by rapid reheating with reduced ventilation. The more heat this is certainly transported, the cooler the airways become, while the faster the airways rewarm, the greater the bronchi are narrowed. Intense attacks can be minimized by starting to warm up before strenuous task. An inhalator doubles before exertion. Also referred to as exercise-induced bronchospasm and thermally induced symptoms of asthma.

Schools That Work | Practice
Embracing Failure: Building a Growth Mindset Through the Arts
At New Mexico School for the Arts (NMSA) -- a dual arts and academic curriculum -- failure is taught as an important part of the journey toward success. Understanding that mistakes are indicators for areas of growth, freshmen learn to give and receive feedback. By senior year, students welcome tough, critical feedback -- and even insist on it.
When Natesa, a senior at NMSA, arrived as a freshman, she had a hard time pushing herself in the areas that were difficult for her to master: choreography and getting into character. "Now, I feel like I can channel my inner self and my inner fierceness when I need it, and even my inner beauty," reflects Natesa. "I became more willing to take risks, and I think that taking risks is a big part of who you want to become, and who you're choosing to be."
Students audition to get into an NMSA program specific to their craft -- dance, theater, music, or visual arts. Each day, they have their academic classes from 9AM to 2PM, and after lunch, they have their art classes until 4:45PM.
"Students have to take risks," says Cristina Gonzalez, the former chair of NMSA's visual arts department. "That's something that is so unique to learning in the arts. Great art comes from risk taking, from being willing to fail. Maybe it will work. Maybe I'll discover something about myself, something about my capacity that I wasn't even aware of, and that's so exciting for a student."
If you want to help your students develop a growth mindset -- the belief that they can improve their abilities through effort -- helping them become more comfortable with risk-taking and modeling critical feedback through critique journals are two of NMSA's strategies that you can adapt to your own practice.
How It's Done
Teach Your Students That It's OK to Make Mistakes
Making mistakes, not knowing the answer -- this is part of the artistic process. "You're going to make bad paintings," says Gonzalez. "You're going to make bad photographs. You're going to fumble your way through it, and in fact, that's how you learn. You need to make those mistakes."
The idea that you learn from your mistakes is embedded into their entire arts curriculum. Teacher, expert, and peer critiques are innate to the arts process. Immediate feedback is part of the norm. You might pause your piano student in mid-rehearsal to say, "When you get here, make sure you get a really clean pedal on the B flat, but that was great. That's the kind of energy you want." In dance class, you might tell your students how they need to rotate their legs differently when taking their demi-plié in first position.
When ninth-grade theater students rehearse their Working in Silence scenes, they perform in front of their peers and faculty, receive feedback from their teachers, and then re-perform the scene to immediately incorporate their feedback.
"Getting to do the scenes a couple different times really helps because then we get to take the feedback and we get to apply it, and that is the whole learning process," says Kara, a ninth-grade theater student. "If you fail, then you can do it again, and you could make big leaps and bounds and learn from that."

Teach Your Students to Take Risks
You can connect risk taking -- and helping your students build comfort around it -- to their interests outside of school. Gonzalez has students in her class who enjoy skateboarding. She draws connections to risk taking by referencing their experience with trying a new trick. "A skateboarder knows what it feels like to try a new trick, how scary it is that they actually might fall," she says. "They could get hurt, and all their buddies are watching. We ask them to do that every day in the art studio."
With any art form, students can fall into a pattern of doing what they're comfortable with or what they're good at doing without risking something new because they don't want to make a mistake. "It's our job as teachers to go, 'Do that new new trick. Go to the precipice,'" explains Gonzalez. By encouraging your students, you're helping them to explore their craft and expand their ability -- whether they execute a new technique right out of the gate or over time with feedback and practice. Either way, they see that taking risks pays off.
"Failure isn't the end of the road," explains Cindy Montoya, NMSA's principal. "You learn from failure. It gives you more information on how to do something better. It's fodder for success. It's a cycle of either learning about yourself, the content, or your art form."
Teach Your Students to Appreciate Feedback
Once your students go through the process of applying constructive feedback to improve their work -- and once they create something beautiful as a result -- they'll see its value. They'll learn to appreciate and even want feedback. "Being able to accept critique and not feel hurt by it is an important skill for us to learn," says Serena, a 10th-grade student. "We're taking those critiques and learning how to put them to use."
Creating something, receiving feedback, and revising their work is a natural part of the artistic process that your students can apply toward their academic classes. "The strengths and skills that these artists come to us with are hard work and a willingness to keep trying," says Geron Spray, an English and history teacher. "They have perseverance, they take constructive criticism well, and they build on it."
It's not uncommon to hear students say, "I'm not good at math," or "I'm bad at writing essays." An arts education helps students to see that they can improve at their craft with effort. They can become better at math. They can become better at writing essays. "They start to see that connection between struggling through the practice, getting feedback, going in for help, and the outcome," says Eric Crites, NMSA's assistant principal.
"It's just so great to watch a student go through that process of struggle, have a teacher believe in them, and then at the end, they have a result that they can be proud of," adds Gonzalez.
Teach Your Students How to Provide Critical Feedback
Model Critical Feedback Through Critique Journals
Give your students journals to write down the feedback they receive from you. It's a way for them to store immediate feedback from each day to review and apply later, and it also allows you to model giving constructive criticism. When providing feedback to your students, share both their successes and areas for improvement, and be specific.
"Feedback is fundamental to growing oneself as an artist," says Adam McKinney, the chair of NMSA's dance department. "I try to model what it means to provide critical feedback to my dancers." One way that the dance department models critical feedback is through dance journals.
Throughout class, students write their teacher's feedback in their dance journal. For example, says McKinney, a student might write, "'When I'm taking my demi-plié in first position, rotate from the top of my legs so that my knees are going over my first and second toes.' For me, that next level of cognition -- to understand the feedback, realize the importance of the feedback, and then to incorporate that into their bodies -- is essential as young artists."
Give Your Students Opportunities to Provide Critical Feedback
By giving constructive criticism to their peers, your students will learn to better appreciate receiving feedback and they'll improve their skills to self-assess their own work. "Having young artists provide critical feedback to each other provides a deeper understanding and another layer of what it means to get better as an artist," says McKinney. "That critical feedback is essential to improving one's art."
Related Article: The Power of Critique and Redrafting
NMSA develops students' abilities to assess their own and others' work through showing them examples of mastery, equipping them with technical vocabulary, and providing them with opportunities to practice peer critique through fishbowl discussions, Visual Thinking Strategies, and Post-it note critiques (See Mastering Self-Assessment: Independent Learning Through the Arts).
"Our students have learned that they can receive feedback -- even negative feedback," says Crites, "make a correction, and then come up with something amazing."
"We develop this idea of self-reflection very early in the department," adds McKinney. "Why are you a dancer? Why is that important to the world? I know that the power of art saves lives. I have several young people in the department -- and who have graduated -- who communicate that art has saved their lives, and it certainly saved my own."

Jordan, This year our entire elementary school embraced the growth mindset. In fact, we have a family night tomorrow night for all school families to learn more about the growth mindset and what they can do at home to encourage it. Already it has been really successful at providing even our youngest students language around how they can do their best, take risks by challenging themselves, and work on growing their brains. In fact, I would argue it is much easier to do at this younger level before their mindset becomes too fixed. If more educators and schools take this on, it would pay off in the upper grades down the road. All too often I see elementary children give up or take on their parents school experience and say "I'm not a math person" or "I wasn't a reader." In my 1-2 classroom, my students reflect often, take risks ALL the time (even my introverts), and are great at given and taking feedback from adults and peers. It takes a lot of work and must be intentionally taught throughout the year, but it can be done and is SO WORTH IT. It is best done when the whole school is on the same page. Ideally each year the concepts build and some similar language is used throughout the school and as the students get older the language becomes broader and complex but centers on the same growth mindset ideas.
Great post! As a music teacher, I particularly think the part about "taking risks" is important. It's very common for music students---especially those who are playing at high levels--to feel reluctant to take risks musically, especially if it means they might make more technical mistakes. But reluctance to take risks can lead to uninteresting performances, and hitting a plateau in musical growth.
Face your fear
"The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear" Gandhi
I just want to say that I've witnessed a quantum leap (and yes, I actually now what that phrase really means) in the embracing of failure as a concept from what it used to be, which I find suspect. It comes from how I've seen it misapplied in the innovation industry, and now I'm seeing it here. No one thought of "failure" in art or music class when I was coming up or "fear". Fear of painting? Fear of taking a bad photograph? Such concepts were never in our lexicon all through K - 12 and I was in an original Arts Impact school! Never did teachers talk about fear or failure - they talked about how to do things the right way for best results and how to fix our mistakes to be better.
I'm just identifying that there's something dramatically different in our society, when it even has to be discussed, on how not to be afraid to draw a picture!
I appreciate the connection of fear and students' aversion to making mistakes. I think many times students need the affirmation from positive feedback, whether it is verbal or written in the form of a grade. Many students learn from a young age to seek the affirmation and avoid the criticism- no matter how constructive. I think students fear the loss of self worth.
As a music teacher, I agree with teaching a growth mindset through the arts. I have been successful in getting my elementary students to be willing to make mistakes and know that they can improve with effort. I am excited to try some new ideas from this article about using feedback constructively. Writing is a high leverage strategy for our school progress plan. I want to create student journals (perhaps digitally) where the students can record my feedback, peer feedback, or self-assessment. I give students verbal feedback after every formative assessment, but it would be really helpful for them to have a record of it. We could then take this feedback and have students apply it self-reflectively at various points so they can externalize their progress. This will also help them develop their skills at critique using musical vocabulary. As young students, they often struggle with this and typically use only the simplest level of analysis.
"Practice makes permanent."
The words of Neil Swapp, the Music Department Chair, resonate with me. As a music teacher I often have students declaring the hours of practice that they have committed to a piece of music only to discover that they had been reading or interpreting something wrong. I feel the frustration of the student when they have to return to the start and not only learn the task but in some cases undo habits.
I take from this article the importance of not fearing feedback. If my students were to have more access to feedback, either from peers or the teacher, how much more effective would their practice be? How can students be more open to critique so that they aren't hurt by it?
I was reminded of a Ted Talk featuring Eduardo Briceno called, "How to get better at the things you care about", November, 2016. Briceno discusses two Zones, the Learning Zone and the Performance Zone. Essentially, schools are too focused on assessing and working within the Performance Zone, which requires minimal errors. The Learning Zone, however, is a place where students can make errors and explore learning. He argues that for growth, students need to constantly return to the Learning Zone. He outlines four points to achieving learning: Have a growth mindset, have a goal, practice deliberately, and allow for failure.
Students participating in a low-stakes learning environment where they aren't living in fear of performance failure and marks but, instead, embracing it, seems to be an essential strategy for learning. It's a strategy I am planning to employ more and more in my classroom.
Growth mindset methods are greatly connected to Self-efficacy and self-regulated learning techniques, these educational methodologies can provide a significant increase in the learning and performance stages of a student's learning process. Incorporating the ability to learn from one's failures is a fundamental component to achieve mastery of knowledge and skills. There is a great TED talk by Eduardo Briceno, that outlines the power of growth mindset and developing self-efficacy within different learning areas. I loved the ideas of having the student's create a feedback journal.
"Learning starts with failure; the first failure is the beginning of education."
~John Hersey
It is very important to embrace students mistake and encourage them to learn the correct thing. Scolding or punishing students will make them shy and that will lead to fright of facing people, Students may turn aggressive and may not at all put effort to correct them or may become withdrawal. It was really interesting to go through the video and the article. It has rightly been stated that failure is the path to success. Thus I personally feel yes it is very important to identify the mistake and groom children accordingly. Students must learn to face it and be strong enough to stand-up and run again...

Jury Rejects Killer's Steroid Defense
Wed., May 3, 1995
A weightlifter who said he gunned down his estranged wife in a steroid-induced rage was found guilty of murder Tuesday by a jury that deliberated less than six hours.
Robert L. Bianchi, 32, sobbed as the verdict was read aloud in Superior Court. The family of his late wife, Donna, remained quiet after earlier reading a statement against him.
Judge Sandra Hamlin sentenced Bianchi to life in prison without chance of parole.
On May 6, 1994, he chased his wife down a sidewalk and shot her five times after she tripped and fell.
Bianchi did not deny the killing, but blamed his actions on the use of steroids, which some athletes take to help build muscle. Bianchi, who weighed 320 pounds and competed in power-lifting competitions at the time, took $1,400 worth of steroids each week, his lawyer said.
Prosecutors said he methodically stalked his wife, killed her, then fled to Elizabeth, N.J., hiding the murder weapon in the process.

I recently designed, built, and performed some puppets for a TV pilot for the cable music channel VH1. The concept of the show is to recreate famous (or infamous) moments in the history of pop music using a variety of different mediums, including animation and puppetry. One of the segments I worked on was a re-telling of the Melissa Etheridge/David Crosby story from a few years ago, where Melissa and her lesbian partner Julie Cypher had kids using David Crosby's, um, contribution. For that sequence, I created celebrity portrait puppets in the style of Barbie dolls.
The heads were made of Super Sculpey, a waxy, flesh-colored polymer clay that is baked hard in an oven after it is sculpted. It has a lovely translucent property, which looked terrific on camera.
From left, the Barbie-sized portrait puppets of Jan Crosby, Melissa Etheridge, Julie Cypher, and David Crosby, costumed for their Rolling Stone magazine cover of 2000.
|At right, a closer look at the David Crosby head.
|Okay, let's get real for a moment. Hold a quarter up to your computer over the picture of the quarter above right. It should be actual size. That shows you how tiny these heads were! It was a tremendous challenge to sculpt the heads at this scale. The pupils of the eyes are about the size of the head of a pin! Also building the puppets and costumes were Ronald Binion and Erin Slattery.

October 18, 2009
Ben Roethlisberger(notes) attempted a quarterback sneak on 4th and 1 against the Browns late in the second quarter of Sunday's game, and in the jumble of arms, legs and sweaty torsos, it was hard to tell if he got the required distance.
The play was close enough to warrant a measurement, and the picture above is a screenshot of that measurement. The guy pulled the big first down stick, the ball wasn't quite there, so no first down, correct?
Incorrect, as it turns out. The official, Walt Anderson, looked at what you're seeing above, and he ruled that it was a first down. The Steelers ended up getting a field goal out of it.
Odd. I would use a stronger word, but the Steelers were going to beat the Browns, regardless of that first down or the ensuing field goal. It didn't affect the outcome.
For whatever it's worth, here was how Anderson explained it, via Tony Grossi at the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
Anderson told a pool reporter that the tip of the ball penetrated the plane of the marker's stake. He said the angle of the camera shot on TV might not have shown it, but he's sticking to his call.
I guess I can't completely rule out camera trickery, but that would have to be one seriously cockeyed angle. From what I see above, that appears to be a pretty straight-on shot of the football. Maybe it's a few degrees off of center, but it doesn't seem to be by much.
I know that officials aren't going to get every call right, and that's fine. The ones where you're provided with a handy stick for measuring purposes, though ... those, you should probably get right. You don't have to decide anything on those. You just have to look.
And that does not look like a first down to me.

Planes and Alitalia. The president of Intesa Sanpaolo: the bank is willing to support the airline even if it is not pleased with the investment
Milan, Italy - Gros-Pietro believes that the company is important for the good of the Country and trusts Etihad for its relaunch
(WAPA) - Being questioned today on the occasion of an event in Milan, the president of Intesa Sanpaolo Gian Maria Gros-Pietro said that he understands the disappointment that the CEO of Unicredit Jean Pierre Mustier showed yesterday for the lost investments in Alitalia, but underlined the need to support the airline for the good of Italy. The company "performs an essential service, which is useful to feed not only tourism, that is an essential pillar of our economy, but also to feed those commercial and cultural interactions that make Italy an advanced Country". The manager confirmed the willingness of Intesa -which as Unicredit is creditor and shareholder of Alitalia- to support as a bank the development of the airline, helping by the means of credit "a business plan that shall be bearable and that shall forsee the commitment of industrial operators capable of leading Alitalia towards new targets". Gros-Pietro believes that Etihad -partner of Alitalia and major shareholder with the 49% of its share capital- is able to carry out this task.
Yesterday Jean Pierre Mustier at the end of the budget meeting of Unicredit had answered the press and remembered how the bank lost half billion euros in three years among allocations and devaluations. For this reason, according to Mustier it is necessary that the solution be bearable, "otherwise there is no solution". (Avionews)

At HillBuzz,
One of the reasons you are seeing so many Ground Reports from readers
across the country in the lead-up to the November election is because
we're spending 6-8 hours a day in the field here in Chicago passing out
our palm cards in Jan Schakowsky's district to ask voters why they keep
sending Democrats back into office.
Schakowsky is nervous…and this
is the best chance ever to defeat her. I would never be able to live
with myself if I didn't go all-in with everything I had, every day,
until November 2nd to make sure I got to as many houses and
neighborhoods as possible and asked every last one of Schakowsky's
constituents to stop blindly supporting this woman because she has a (D)
— for dunce — after her name.

Summary: As you plan your vision and strategy for 2011, it's important to take a look at your industry in general. Let's discuss why and how.
As training professionals, we have to remember that our industry covers not only the industry of our firm but also the industry related to training and development. And both of these areas can have an impact on your strategy for the upcoming year. The second step in planning your training vision and strategy for 2011 is to look at both areas in terms of trends and changes.
On the industry and organizational level, you may wonder why it's necessary to look at trends when your organization's executives may make decisions based on those trends.
First of all, you may be able to see trends and changes in the industry that will change the
way your organization conducts business from a different perspective, that is, the perspective of a training manager. Often organizational changes in response to the industry overlook the training aspect, so you can be better prepared for what's coming. In relation to training and development, obviously any trends or shifts in the way training is designed, delivered, or managed can be used to the organization's advantage.
One of the best ways to examine overall strategies and trends is through your professional network. Ask your colleagues what they have going for 2011, both within the industry and within training and development. Find out what new technologies are being deployed and how they are being used. Obviously if you are dealing with a colleague from a competing organization you may not get the details, but you may be able to obtain an idea of where firms are headed. In terms of training and development, it often seems that training professionals are willing to share their uses of technology and training trends with colleagues, so ask questions of your network and form a picture of how training is going to develop in the upcoming year.
Another way to look at strategy is to benchmark similar organizations. Keep in mind that similar may mean in the same industry or same group of industries, but it also may mean the same size training departments or similar training deployments. Benchmarking may be formal or informal, so your informal benchmarking may come when you work your network for upcoming trends. However, don't be afraid to conduct some formal benchmarking, where you contact training leaders in similar organizations to determine how they are managing training now and in the future.
You can also take a closer look at industry publications, both traditional and online. Let's face it: sometimes the latest publication issues end up far down the list in our email inboxes or stacked under paperwork on our desks. For the next few weeks, take special care to read these publications in order to detect trends in both the industry at large and the industry specific to your organization. Use your intuition to list common elements and common trends. In fact, you can use the information you find to work with your network or undertake benchmarking studies for the upcoming year.
As you are "studying" the industry, try to separate trends from "trendy," especially where technology is concerned. Spending for training has to be undertaken with even more care than in the past, so you want to come up with ideas that truly match industry trends and will truly last long enough to show a benefit to the bottom line. In addition, when dealing with your industry, try to discern between temporary "blips" and those trends that are here to stay. This may be difficult, so you may want to ask your executive sponsor or team for input as you work through trends and changes for the upcoming year.
The idea with industry strategy is to obtain a picture of where the training industry and your specific industry are headed in the upcoming year. You may find a great deal of useful information, or you may find that the information you uncover simply helps you understand general trends and where your organization is in relation to those trends.
Next, we will move back into our own organizations to determine what our "best" training customers are planning for 2011.

architecture, Art Nouveau
It used to be a a small fishing village which in 1860s suddenly transformed into a popular resort with the emergence of fashion for sea bathing. Wealthy Parisians frequented the resort on weekends and short holidays – thanks to the railroad Paris-Le Treport it was only 3 hours away. Mers-les-Bains on the Picardy Coast became a fashionable beach resort.
Then, local authorities offered rich businessmen to buy land in Mers-les-Bains and build a modern town. The tall houses were built side by side on the waterfront and adjoining streets in order to provide with a villa with sea views as many people as possible. In course of time with the town development the architectural style in the city changed from the Anglo-Flemish to Art Nouveau.

In the fall I'm transferring to Central Michigan University to complete my Public Relations major. I've worked with my younger brother for the past 6 years, mainly just building a base of mechanics. He made JV as a freshman this spring. He's a big kid, 6'2", 185 pounds (he turns 15 in a month). Without really any weight training or velocity training he throws about 80 mph. We've just started long tossing for max distance this spring, he hits about 270 feet. He has both some positives and negatives with his mechanics. He has a rather efficient arm action in my opinion and maintains the qualities you look for in "connection". A big negative is being front-leg dominant which in turn leads to some disconnections up the chain.
With me gone next fall, I want to leave him with a guide to continue getting better without me being there. It's time for him to get more aggressive with everything he does. The word I'm using is adaption.
Mechanically, a lot of correction gets made with his direction/alignment, rhythm, lower half use and posture. What I've realized is, a lot of this would clean up if he sped up his tempo from the peak of his leg lift to landing. That takes mobility, stability and quick-twitch muscles.
When it comes to velocity training, I want to implement progressive overload concepts. Baseball myth got the best of me for a while and a part of me was always a little reluctant to throw weighted balls. A lot of questions and reading up on case studies and research on the topic sold me on the concept. Arm efficiency (improving arm path/pattern/remapping), endurance, strength (posterior shoulder and pronator-flexor mass), arm speed and intent. Wrist weights as well.
What I'm doing is building a beast. I'm wanting to take a kid who was blessed with some natural size and arm talent and turn him into something. So what this forum will be updated time to time through the summer. I'll ask questions on weighted balls, wrist weights, programming in vs. off season, core stability, baseball specific training, strength training methods, ATP/quick-twitch muscle building, recovery, etc... I'm a sponge. Anything you give me will be processed and appreciated. Thanks guys.
The most important part of the process you are already engaged in....finding out information for yourself. I have had coaches tell me "NO, NO, NO....NEVER throw weighted balls" then two sentences later suggested throwing a football to build arm strength. When I questioned the logic of saying a 7 0z ball is dangerous and a 15 oz ball is not, I was reminded that I never played beyond high school and the coach did.....um, ok. Another coach told me overweight balls were very dangerous for young players but underweight balls were safer....the opposite is true of course. When I finally figured out the relative danger of throwing under or over weight balls has to do with arm speed and not the weight of the ball it all made much more sense. But, coaches that we were going to see and paid money generally just spewed non sense about it. There is always room for discussion, the more the better. There is more than one way to skin a cat, what works well for one person may not work well for another. That is what makes it interesting. Your brother is fortunate to have such an advocate in his corner.Keep up the research and please share as you go.
I'm pondering how I want to plan the next year for my brother (August 15'- August 16'). His summer season concludes at the end of July. This will be the most he's ever thrown on a day-to-day basis. Pitches/year will be down though as he actually threw more pitches as a 12 and 13 year old. He's really making some strides on his own, especially in the intent and throwing every pitch with conviction. He's rarely sore, every once in a while his posterior shoulder/triceps get a little tender. So, I think some wrist weight work would be great for him. He's also done barely any upper body work in his life. Some pushups and rows are about it.
By no means is he going to take anything more than a week or two off. I'm debating how long I want him to be off throwing a 5 oz. baseball. I think a certain amount of time this offseason is going to be given to help arm capacity and build up those muscles through the arm. Improving his quick twitch muscles would really help him too.
I know I want him to be building up his long toss in November through December. I really don't want to rush his prep for next season. But what he does August through October is still up to debate. Thoughts?
Is he playing any other sports?What is his biggest weakness?Great time for building that foundation....general strength, quickness, agility ect.
Biggest weakness would be in the speed continuum. A lot of that is awareness and making it a point to have a quick tempo from start to finish but having quick twitch muscles and being more a more explosive athlete is a priority for any pitcher. Being explosive takes general strength though, so making sure that's up to par is the first step.

«Goal 2 What is Putnam Stable Value Fund? 2 Investment strategy 2 Risks of the Fund 5 Eligibility 6 Fund provisions 7 Fees and Expenses 9 Putnam ...»
Valuation. The assets of the fund are normally valued at book value as determined by the definition for "benefit responsiveness" as required by FASB FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1. However, either (or both) the value of any investment contract and the contract interest rate will be adjusted to reflect, when necessary, the default of any wrap provider, or issuer of a GIC or underlying security in a SBIC.
Thus, certain withdrawals may be payable at market value.
Deposits. Deposits can be made to the fund on a daily basis. There is no minimum size restriction. Putnam may accept or reject any particular investment, at any time in its discretion. Upon acceptance of a deposit from a plan or asset allocation fund, PFTC will credit the appropriate number of units to the account of the plan or the asset allocation fund. Contributions to the fund may be transmitted by wire or check. Detailed instructions will be provided by PFTC upon receipt of an executed participation agreement. Wired funds will be invested within one business day of receipt. Contributions by check will be invested within three business days of receipt.
Distributions of income. All units of the fund will receive a pro rata share of all income earned by the fund's investments, net of any fund expenses, commencing upon the date the units are issued to the plan. Income will be credited to each participating plan or asset allocation fund in the form of additional units.
90-day equity wash provision. No participant-directed investment transfers may be made to competing investment options. If PFTC has consented to competing investment options being made available to participants under the plan, amounts transferred to non-competing investment options may not be transferred to competing investment options until 90 days have elapsed since the transfer out of the fund. Competing investment options have been defined by PFTC to generally include fixed income funds of short duration (less than 3 years) such as money market funds, short-term bond funds, and self-directed brokerage accounts. A list
Withdrawals. Subject to the restrictions set forth below, withdrawals from the fund will generally be permitted daily at book value.
While PFTC will attempt to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet all withdrawal requests, it is possible that such requests will exceed the fund's available liquidity.
If PFTC determines, in its sole discretion, that the fund does not have sufficient
liquidity to meet any withdrawal request, the following rules will apply:
• PFTC may defer honoring any payment request or other obligation, if, as a result of the closing or other disruption of financial markets or exchanges, PFTC is unable to settle the necessary transaction prudently in order to honor on a timely basis such payment request or other payment obligation.
• PFTC may defer honoring employer withdrawal requests (e.g., a withdrawal due to plan termination) or an asset allocation fund's withdrawal request, for up to 12 months. Notwithstanding such 12 month deferral, qualified employee-initiated benefit payments generally will continue to be made as provided for in this offering statement during such period.
Cash Management. The fund's cash positions shall generally be invested in the Putnam Government Money Market Fund, an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Putnam Government Money Market Fund seeks as high a rate of current income as such fund's investment manager, Putnam Investment Management, LLC, believes is consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity. For more detailed information about the Putnam Government Money Market Fund, including investment management fees and other operating expenses, please refer to the most recent prospectus. For a copy of the most recent prospectus you can contact Putnam Investments at the address and phone number indicated below. By investing cash positions in an affiliated money market fund, PFTC has greater control and transparency with respect to this aspect of the investment process. Any such investment by the fund shall be made pursuant to the terms and conditions of individual exemption 2010-13 granted to PFTC by the Department of Labor.
Proxy Voting. PFTC will vote (or may retain an affiliate to vote) proxies issued by companies whose securities are owned by the fund. PFTC's policy is generally to seek to vote all proxies and that all voting be recorded in accordance with its (or its affiliate's, as the case may be) proxy voting policy, although PFTC may solicit recommendations from advisors or sub-advisors which it retains with respect to 8 Offering Statement the fund. A copy of PFTC's (or its affiliate's, as the case may be) proxy voting policy is available upon request.
Regulatory Status. The fund and its Units have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), the 1940 Act, or the securities laws of any states or other jurisdictions, and participants are not entitled to the protections of the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act, or such laws. The fund may, in addition to investing in securities and money market instruments, also invest in futures contracts, security futures contracts or products, derivatives, and other similar investments, and PFTC has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the "Commodity Act"), pursuant to Rule 4.5 of the Commodity Act, and therefore PFTC is not subject to registration or regulation as a "commodity pool operator" under the Commodity Act.
Custodian. State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the custodian of the fund's assets.
FEES AND EXPENSESInvestment management fee: Each participating plan pays a management fee equal to a percentage of the plan's assets invested in the fund, not to exceed 1.00%, as agreed by PFTC and the plan. Such fee shall be accrued daily and paid quarterly. A portion of the fee may be applied to payments made by PFTC to financial advisors, other marketing and servicing expenses and plan administrative costs.
Investment contract fees: Expenses associated with the purchase of investment contracts, including SBICs, will be reflected in the interest rates credited under the contracts to the fund. These expenses for SBICs include custody fees and management or advisory fees (in the case of a managed SBIC with an unaffiliated investment manager) for the underlying securities and wrap fees, both of which are negotiated by PFTC. Similarly, the yields derived from investments in a stable value fund will be net of that fund's management fees and other expenses. The fund may pay investment software costs related to GIC investment placement.
Other fund operating expenses: The fund (or any other fund in which it invests) also bears its other operating expenses, such as custody, middle office services and accounting fees, audit fees, and legal expenses.

HiPP formula milks are not suitable for vegetarians due to the addition of oligosaccharides - animal rennet is used in the extraction of the lactose from milk which is used as the base for the production of these oligosaccharides. Similarly, the lactose and whey powder used in some of our formulas are also sourced using the same extraction method.
Unfortunately, sources of non-animal rennet are scarce, and this is an industry-wide problem. As a result, most of the standard first infant formula milks currently available in the UK are not vegetarian.
