These are corollaries of my last post.
- If you try to move exactly like someone else, you will fail.
- If you try to teach someone to move exactly like you do, you will fail and so will he.
For a teacher, the objective should be to assist the student to learn to move in a way that is optimal for him.
Of course, beginners need to learn basics. Optimization takes place after a student has learned a fundamental set of basics. I would call this "basic" phase undifferentiated Karate. At this phase, everyone moves the same. Here, the same is a good thing.
Once this phase is reached successfully (this might be at the nidan or sandan or even higher dan level), the student begins to tailor his movements to himself. He makes his Karate fit him so that he can move optimally. His Karate is differentiated.
Undifferentiated Karate is like stem cells. Stem cells can basically become any cell in the body.
Differentiated Karate is a unique thing. Is the the basic package tweaked or adjusted to the student. The student develops a focus and emphasis, and this pushes the movements in a certain direction.
Here is the interesting thing: Most Karate schools are teaching undifferentiated Karate because that is all the instructor knows. Students learn basics for their entire Karate careers, maybe for several decades. The punch, kick, and block of a beginner is the same punch, kick, and block of the master.
Kishaba Juku allows a wide range of movement as the student progresses in Karate and seeks the optimal way to move for him. Imagine an illustration of evolution from a single cell organism to a human being. There are so many different phases, but they lead to a certain result.
Karate is an evolutionary process. It is a progression. Being a single cell organism is appropriate for a beginner and for a certain amount of time. But the time comes to evolve. That is not a bad thing -- it is a natural thing.
And as I mentioned in my last post, excellent Sensei did not get that way by trying to copy someone else. Once the student learns the basics well (and I mean well), it becomes a personal process and progression. Excellent Sensei become that way by learning the basics and then working hard to optimize them for themselves. The result is a unique interpretation of Karate.
We should learn to copy that process, not the specific end result.
- If you try to move exactly like someone else, you will fail.
- If you try to teach someone to move exactly like you do, you will fail and so will he.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Women Subjected to Sexual Comments, Sexual Propositions, and Touching by Male Supervisor, Federal Agency Charged
GREENVILLE, N.C. – A Simpsonville, S.C., hotel violated federal law by subjecting a class of female employees to a sexually hostile work environment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today. The EEOC's lawsuit further charged that one woman was unlawfully fired in retaliation for complaining about the sexual harassment.
According to the EEOC's suit, Imperial Investments Greenville, Inc. and its corporate parent, Imperial Investments Group, Inc., doing business as Holiday Inn Express in Simpsonville, S.C., created and maintained a hostile working environment for Tamara Byrd and a class of similarly situated female employees based on their gender. According to the complaint, from at least August 2007 until January 2009, the hotel's male general manager subjected women to unwelcome sexual misconduct. The abusive behavior included inappropriate sexual comments, sexual advances and unwelcome touching. On at least two occasions, the general manager also exposed himself to another female employee, the EEOC said.
According to the complaint, when Byrd reported the sexual harassment to the companies' corporate office, the companies failed to investigate or stop the harassment, closing the investigation the same day the complaint was received after the general manager denied the allegations. The general manager then terminated Byrd. The EEOC contends that Byrd's discharge was because she refused the general manager's unwelcome sexual advances and/or in retaliation for her complaints of sexual harassment to the corporate office.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Imperial Investments Greenville, Inc. and Imperial Investments Group, Inc., Civil Action No. 6:10-cv-02971-HFF -KFM) in U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
The EEOC seeks back pay, compensatory damages and punitive damages for Byrd and a class of similarly situated women, as well as an injunction enjoining the companies from engaging in similar discrimination again and requiring other measures to ensure a workplace free of discrimination for future employees.
"Employers must maintain a workplace free from harassment," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for EEOC's Charlotte District Office. "An employer who ignores sexual harassment in the workplace and does not take active measures to prevent it risks legal liability."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

There's a lot more than pixie dust swirling through the air at the Disneyland resort as construction crews, excavators and towering cranes work on several new theme-park rides set to debut this summer and beyond.
The tandem Anaheim theme parks haven't seen this much construction since Disney California Adventure opened in 2001 next door to Disneyland.
Photos: Top 10 most anticipated Southern California theme park rides for 2011
The headliner for 2011 is the $100-million Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure, opening at Disney California Adventure on June 3. The elaborate dark ride will take visitors on a family-friendly musical underwater journey based on "The Little Mermaid" animated movie.
Nearby, the park will also reopen a kiddie coaster with a new Goofy's Sky School theme at the same time.
California Adventure visitors should be forewarned the construction dust won't settle at the Anaheim theme park until 2012, when the 12-acre Cars Land and the main entrance extreme makeover are completed.
Across the way at Disneyland, the long-anticipated reboot of the classic Star Tours motion-simulator attraction will also open on June 3, with riders experiencing 54 possible story lines resulting in a different beginning, middle and end for every journey.
On May 27, the music-centric Mickey's Soundsational parade debuts on Disneyland's Main Street USA with dancers, drummers and two dozen Disney characters.
Southern California's other theme parks plan a series of new attractions for 2011 to counter Disney's continuing $1.1-billion expansion project.
Six Flags Magic Mountain will reclaim the "Roller Coaster Capital of the World" title on Memorial Day weekend with the addition of a first-of-its-kind ride in the U.S. The Green Lantern vertical coaster will feature suspended trains that rock back and forth on the straightaways and rotate head over heels as the cars plunge over free-fall drops.
The Valencia amusement park reopened the revamped Superman: Escape from Krypton shuttle coaster in March with new trains that rocket riders backward at 100 mph.
The 301-foot-tall WindSeeker promises to change Knott's Berry Farm skyline when the $5-million spinning swing ride debuts at the Buena Park theme park in late June or early July. WindSeeker will carry 64 riders in twin-seat gondolas to the top of the tower, where the ride's metal arms will extend out at a 45-degree angle and spin for one minute at 30 mph.
Down in San Diego County, the new Star Wars Miniland renders epic battles, iconic cityscapes and massive machines in an intimate 1:20 scale at Legoland California. The new Star Wars attraction, which opened in March at the Carlsbad kiddie park, utilizes 1.5 million Lego bricks to build a visual timeline stretching from the first film in the series to the latest television cartoons based on the space fantasy.
On Memorial Day weekend, SeaWorld San Diego will launch a new killer-whale show after the death of an animal trainer in 2010 at its sister park in Orlando, Fla., forced a complete reworking of the marine park's signature attraction. The conservation-themed One Ocean show will feature fountains, underwater imagery and orcas performing in unison against a new backdrop of giant LCD screens.
The most jaw-dropping new ride of 2011 belongs to San Diego's Belmont Park. The Octotron, which opened in January, simulates a looping roller-coaster experience over an undulating Himalayan-style track. Sitting two abreast in roller-coaster-style seats, riders control the forward and backward direction of a spinning car as it rotates around a circular course. The easily nauseated need not apply.

Yes Judith, I hope you don't mind me saying, but you're gorgeous.
Simon & Parau, Yes she is and it goes much deeper than a mere photo can show but the best thing is she is all mine ! :)
Actually, Nina (and Judith), you both look rather delicious. I would offer to move to the Netherlands to be your husband (or should that be "husbands"? Oh, never mind.), but I have a wife who wants to keep me all for herself (something about how I do that thing I do for her). Selfish of her, I suppose, but what can I do? But, looking at the pictures of you and Judith, I can only imagine how delicious it would be to be the meat in the sandwich with you on one side and Judith on the other. :-0 Say hello to Judith for me. She and I chatted a couple of times in the past, though she may not remember because I think I changed my nomme de screen since then to avoid the American thought police. In any event, I am the one whose grandfather is buried in the American military cemetery near Maastricht. She might remember that.
Thanks Mo, and I do remember you. "Meat in the sandwich" ha ha, we are both vegetarians though ! :) Good to hear your wife has a use for you, sadly I learn from many wives that their huisbands have rather linited utility but that when you find one that can change a baby properly AND take the garbage that they are worth holding onto !
Have a good seasons holiday, love, Judith.
Nina, worden wanneer ga je enkele foto's van je post op TA?

Are you in the market for a second-gen four-door Chevy Blazer with decent miles, four-wheel-drive and enough cargo room to carry around dismembered body parts? A charity lot in Detroit has just the one for you!
Donna Scrivo made headlines last week when she was arrested for allegedly murdering her 32-year-old mentally ill son, then dismembering his body and scattering his body parts across an area about an hour north of Detroit.
As police — and the media — investigate, however, they discovered that Scrivo donated her Chevy Blazer to Mother Waddles, a Detroit-based car donation program (that actually always has a few gems, by the way) that helps low-income residents and other budget car-seekers find transportation.
WXYZ reports that on the same day that Scrivo reported her son missing, she donated two cars, the Blazer and a Ford Focus, to Mother Waddles with a "rush" order on both of the vehicles.
If true — yuck. I don't know about you guys, but I just couldn't feel comfortable driving a murder victim's vehicle. With used cars, especially ones that can't easily be tracked with something like Carfax, you never know.
Let's say the car was something cooler than a Blazer, though — would you be comfortable with it, knowing the history? Or is it still a no?

What would happened if Los Angeles were hit by three inches of snow and some ice for good measure? Look to Atlanta, a city that has been living the nightmare described by the above Tweeter. Unaccustomed to the harsh wintry weather that has pounded the Northeast this year so far, Atlanta was brought to a standstill in a winter storm that slammed into the South on Tuesday afternoon. Just how rare was the storm? Accuweather said it was a "once-in-10-years" snowfall.
Tweets of stranded motorists sitting on freeways for 16 hours and counting and reports of children stuck on school buses have been a hot topic on social media early Wednesday. More than 900 wrecks were reported in Atlanta, and even a baby was born in the gridlocked traffic. The problems began Tuesday as schools were cancelled early for the storm and thousands of motorists all headed out at the same time. And don't even think of flying in and out, with more than 3,000 flights across the south reportedly grounded.
Alabama was also plunged into icy temps and weather-related traffic accidents. About 4,500 students were reportedly forced to spend the night in various school buildings in Hoover and another 800 in Birmingham, where teachers turned into 24-hour carers. In addition, New Orleans airport was closed. Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, North Carolina and Mississippi joined Alabama in declaring states of emergency, according to media reports, with some closing state government offices on Wednesday.
For storm Tweeters who made it home, relief was written all over their posts:
And while some may snicker at Atlanta being stalled by a dusting of snow, two people were killed in auto wrecks from the gridlock, USA Today reported. On the Facebook page Snowed Out Atlanta Eastside, there were pleas for help on behalf of motorists with serious health conditions who had been stuck in traffic for hours, and kids trapped at schools who hadn't eaten since lunchtime.
According to Wunderground.com, headaches for the south won't let up on Wednesday and the ice for Atlanta, at least, is expected to stick around until Thursday. Here's another look at all that snow via Instagram.
Largely across Tweetsville, it was mostly genuine puzzlement (largely from the North) at how a small dusting of snow could shut down cities and cause such traffic chaos, amid signs that lawmakers are going to get an earful over this mess.

The home's kitchen was designed by one of the most innovative Kitchen Designer's out there- Mick de Giulio of Chicago. It's featured in his residential portfolio, however it appears the Kitchen has undergone a remodel in the short 3 years since the house was built. A staging remodel no doubt, as the home is now for sale.
The remodeled Kitchen features a more pure white and a Swedish influence. The bookshelves and window trim have been painted and bring a much lighter feel to the space. You now notice the features themselves rather than just their color.
The original island finish was a dark ebonized walnut. This too has gone to a lighter shade of pale and now matches the other painted woodwork in the space. The marble countertop looked especially pretty with the dark wood. I would have preferred to see this piece stay dark as it was, and contrast all the white. The use of baskets, open shelving, and the pot rack are very welcoming touches.
The backsplash tile is also different- the modern glass subway tile has been replaced with a traditional white version. Full height tiled backsplashes are one of Mr. de Giulio's frequent design elements, and again a detail for a true cook's kitchen.
I love that the tile brings a pattern to the kitchen, and I prefer this new tile- its more appropriate with the lighter wood finishes. And when your range costs as much as this beauty does, it should certainly take center stage!
The furniture appears to be the same, so I don't believe the owners have changed...just changed their color scheme. They've even kept the potted rosemary plants on the table in both versions. It seems the owners didn't want to totally erase the blue however- notice the striped grain sack draped over the upholstered ottoman.
Mick's ideas, specifications and finishes are top notch in quality, uniqueness and generally reflect a well funded budget. I am sure the home in Illinois is no exception- it is beautiful in photographs and I'm sure even more stunning in person.

Hey there beauty lovers here is a different approach to my normal posts! My boyfriend and I are almost to our anniversary of four years! We are very much in love and happy and it has inspired me to create this post! Since we started dating, my boyfriend and I have been living and going to college in different states and it has definitely been hard, but so worth it. I know many of you have significant others that live way further than an hour or two away but these tips apply to all living apart, or as just dating tips in general! 🙂
1) Be loyal. This one comes as an obvious, but there are a lot of unfaithful people out there. Treat your partner how you would like to be treated. Don't be flirting, seeing, or talking to any other person behind your lovers back. Be faithful to yours, and be real with them. If you stray or aren't interested anymore then break it off, cheating just causes more heart ache on both people's end. It is a waste of time and effort in a relationship if someone is unhappy enough to cheat.
2) Be open and honest! When there is distance between any relationship, it can call for miscommunication and misunderstanding. Through texting, talking, or whatever you can never really know what are the intentions or tone that your other is speaking with. It is always better to call, or better yet video chat and really communicate fully especially with fighting or serious matters. Let them know how you are feeling, but as well how they are. Distance can cause an emotional toll on people, so it's good to check in with one another.
3) Don't freak out over the little stuff. This goes with choosing your battles. If you find yourselves fighting over something positively stupid, then drop it. Ask yourself if the fight your having is really worth the tie and energy in your relationship. Fight the big ones, and loose the ones that are for nothing. Constant bickering on top of distance is a sure way to drift apart.
4) Trust them, not cause them. Trust me, this is a lesson I had to learn. It doesn't matter how much you trust your love, sometimes when their far away and you don't talk and see each other as much, your imagination can run wild! You think oh they will find someone better than me, or are at some girls (or boys) house and aren't staying faithful. This can cause you to panic a little and feel vulnerable. I am saying if they love you and you can trust them then you can learn to calm down. You don't need to constantly be texting them being like where are you, who are you with, ect. Learn to let go and trust them or it can cause you guys to fight and develop un grounded trust issues.
5) Keep Current. Don't just text all day long. Spice things up, and loose the boring to word texts! Skype, Instagram, snap chat, late night call, anything to keep up with your loved one. Talking through type only goes so far, but seeing them and hearing them or even getting silly face snap chats really can help you both feel like they never left.
Some Extras!
-My boyfriend and I write each other letters whether they are hand written or on an email. Just knowing they took that extra time to write you something long and sappy really is sweet!
-We are both artists so we draw each other pictures! This is something very personal and thoughtful, if you can't draw then bake them some food, or play them online in a video game! Get creative!
-Keep a picture. My boyfriend has our prom picture on his desk where he is, and I have one of us together on my night stand. Little ways of remembrance is great for relationships.
-Enjoy the time you have together. If you get a weekend or whatever to see one another, don't spend it sleeping in late or in a bad mood. Plan ahead and do some fun activities wheat he fit is baking a nice dinner together or getting an espresso and reading some books at Barnes and Nobles the possibilities for bonding are endless!
-Look forward to something. Holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, big events, vacations, all things you do together! If you have something coming up you are going to do together plan and talk about it and the time from then and the get together will fly by and get you excited! Love each other and listen and you will have a long an amazing time with whomever your heart is with. If you have any questions or comments let me know down below 🙂 Love always Pearlsnheels ❤
P.s Remember to like and follow me for some more cool stuff! 😀

It was two years ago, on a trip to Guatemala, that Noah Karesh ran across a 12-year-old boy selling avocados. Karesh was looking for an authentic Guatemalan meal. The boy invited Karesh and his girlfriend home for dinner — and the Washington, D.C., native had an epiphany.
"I love eating in the home," Karesh says. "I wanted to have the opportunity to do that everywhere I go."
The result? Karesh and his business partner, Danny Harris, 33, created Feastly, the latest foodie startup to hit the Bay Area. Its goal is to connect diners to chefs, home cooks and even fellow diners for a meal they can share together.
The concept is simple: Feastly (www.eatfeastly.com) events turn cooks' homes into supper clubs. After planning the menu and determining the number of seats and meal costs, the host posts the event. "Feasters" RSVP and pay online, then bring their appetites to the party.
Since the inaugural Feastly meal in January 2012 — a Libyan dinner for 25 prepared by Harris' mother in Washington — more than 100 others have taken place in the homes of Feastly cooks. Most have professional experience; the rest are talented amateurs.
"Feastly touches on all of our passions: food, community and technology," says Karesh, 30. "It's an online marketplace that allows any passionate cook to offer and serve a meal in their home to any hungry eater."
On a recent Sunday evening, Benjamastino Giustino, 27, welcomed a dozen people to his Oakland home for a $22 potpie dinner, one of about six Feastly events held in the Bay Area since Feastly launched here in February.
Giustino cleared out his living room to make space for a 12-foot table adorned with candles in makeshift holders. Giustino knew many in the crowd, a diverse mix of friends and friends of friends who nibbled on pickled carrots and roasted cauliflower, sipping beer they brought with them.
"I really liked the idea that it's something to do other than going to a bar," Giustino says. "You can sit down, have a meal and spend a lot less money than going out, and you actually get to meet people as well."
With no professional cooking experience, Giustino admits the amount of work required to cook for so many people was a little overwhelming. But he made a little coin and views Feastly as a way to raise money for his artistic endeavors, which include art shows and a TV pilot.
Others see Feastly as a blank canvas to express their culinary creativity. Chef and food justice advocate Amanda Yee hosted a Feastly dinner after Oakland's most recent First Friday and Art Murmur, turning her home into a midnight diner where she served carne asada-Benedict fries and duck fat-and-waffle milkshakes (yep, you read that right).
Some Feastly events are not just meals, but food-focused adventures that move well beyond the kitchen table. A host in Washington, for example, brought together feasters for a chocolate truffle-making class just before Valentine's Day, and a New York City-based host took feasters on a trip upstate to forage for the mushrooms that became part of their dinner.
Feastly currently operates in D.C., New York and the Bay Area, but Karesh plans to kick the party up a notch with forays into Austin, Texas; Boston; Boulder, Colo.; Chicago; Los Angeles; Miami; Portland, Ore.; Philadelphia and Seattle — and abroad. Glance at Feastly's Facebook page, and you will see would-be feasters clamoring for events in Milan and other Italian cities.
Back in Oakland, Yee is planning to make a Feastly dinner a monthly tradition following every First Friday event. She will stick to the late-night diner theme, but the comfort food she plans to serve at the next dinner will get an Asian twist. On the menu: Afro-Asian jung stuffed with smoked plantain, black-eyed peas, peanuts and sticky rice, as well as Persian lamb pho and sheep's milk ricotta pancake fritters with cinnamon-curried powder.
Feastly, Yee says, is "the perfect blend of technology, art and creativity. It is a form of social media, but it gets us off the computer and engaged with people around the table, eating, and in good company."
More Food Adventures
Feastly isn't the only game in town, of course. Some startups, such as Kitchit, which launched in San Francisco in 2011, specifically target chefs, linking party hosts with private chefs who plan and prepare menus for private events. Others match food lovers for social dining experiences. Here's just a sampling. Find more foodie adventures at www.mercurynews.com/food-wine.
BlendAbout: This Bay Area startup matches diners with other diners for group meals at hot restaurants, adding a social dining dimension, which is also at the heart of Feastly. Details: www.blendabout.com.
Chef Surfing: This startup rode into the Bay Area from South America in November to connect chefs with potential clients. More than 1,000 chefs have signed up, but the list includes only a few in the Bay Area. Details: https://chefsurfing.com/en/welcome.
Dishcrawl: Instead of a sit-down dinner at one restaurant, this San Jose-based company takes foodies on a strolling/nibbling tour of four or more in the South Bay, San Francisco and Oakland. Details: www.dishcrawl.com.
Feastly: Find more information about Feastly, including details on how to sign up to dine or host a feast, at www.eatfeastly.com. The next Bay Area Feastly event will be Friday.
Kitchit: Billed as a "bespoke dining experience," Kitchit pairs chefs with people interested in arranging everything from a formal dinner or cocktail party to a cooking class. The site sorts its roster of available chefs by location, including Peninsula, South Bay, East Bay and Marin. Details: www.kitchit.com/bay_area.

USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service announced that U.S. exporters have sold 60,000 metric tons of rice to Iraq, the first sales of U.S. rice to that country since the 2000-2001 marketing year.
While few details were available, rice industry leaders said the sale appeared to mark the culmination of more than a year of efforts to re-establish sales and years of trying to return Iraq to its former status as one of the top markets for U.S. rice and other commodities.
"The U.S. rice industry is extremely pleased to learn that USDA has received a sales registration for the export of 60,000 metric tons of U.S. rice to Iraq, our former No. 1 foreign market," said Lee Adams, USA Rice Federation chairman and a rice producer from Arkansas.
Adams said USA Rice Federation leaders have been working with the Iraqi Grain Board since February 2004 to resolve the myriad issues involved in the consummation of this sale. Prior to that, rice exporters worked for years to try to restart sales that were halted prior to the start of the first Gulf War.
The announcement of the sale to Iraq was made with the release of the FAS Export Sales Highlights for the March 25-31 reporting period. The sale to Iraq helped drive net sales for the week to 138,600 metric tons, more than three times the previous week and 72 percent more than the prior 4-week average, according to FAS.
"We'll continue to work with grain board officials to ensure that this is the first of many more export sales to this key market," Adams said.
'Welcome news'
"Our rice industry is to be commended for its successful efforts to regain access to this important market," said Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns in a statement that called the sale "welcome news" for U.S. producers.
"Iraq previously was an important market for a wide variety of commodities, including rice, corn, wheat, feed ingredients and wood products," he said. "USDA staff in Iraq and here at home have been working diligently on behalf of U.S. agriculture to develop that market again."
Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, hailed the rice sale to Iraq and the announcement that Taiwan was reopening its market to U.S. beef, which came on the same day, April 7.
"Opening America's markets into Iraq and Taiwan are tremendously significant moves that benefit producers in the United States," said Chambliss. "Taiwan's welcoming of U.S. boneless beef affirms the reliability of science in assuring the safety and quality of American products in world trade.
"Also announced today, Iraq's sizable purchase of U.S. rice regains our access to what formally was the top export market for American rice. In the case of America's agricultural goods, the reliability and quality of our product sells itself."
U.S. rice exports to Iraq topped 500,000 metric tons in 1988

Are you looking for a wedding venue in New Zealand? Many couples are planning beach weddings today as their means of tying the knot; therefore New Zealand with its massive stretch of coastlines is a rather attractive option to couples both from overseas and New Zealand.

Hence it is vitally important that you book well in advance if you decide to exchange vows at a wedding venue in Waiheke, New Zealand.
Everything you need to tie the knot can be found at a wedding venue in Waiheke, New Zealand.

The 13-year-old Bayside Hills resident won the national competition on May 30 by correctly spelling "knaidel," the Yiddish word for matzo ball.
Mahankali was presented with an American Flag that flew at the U.S. Capitol by Meng.
"Only in Queens, the most diverse county in America, can an Indian-American kid win a national contest for correctly spelling the Yiddish word for matzo ball," Meng said. "It truly exemplifies the outstanding diversity that exists in our great borough, and I am proud to help celebrate that."
Additionally, Ben's Best owner Jay Parker unveiled a new dish of mini-knaidels that the restaurant will name in honor of Mahankali. It was the first time Mahankali tasted the "word" that brought him so much fame.
"Now I'm going to blow off the lid of our dirty little secret," Parker told the young spelling sensation. "Do you know why we call it matzo ball? Because nobody could spell knaidel!"
Joining in lunch were Mahankali's family, Dr. Uma Mysorekar, president of the Hindu Temple Society of North America in Flushing, and Cynthia Zalisky, executive director of the Queens Jewish Community Council.
"It was dream like," said proud father Srinivas Mahankali. "It has been his dream, and our dream, but once he won, we didn't know how to react."
Mahankali placed ninth in 2010 and moved up to third in both 2011 and 2012. He finally won this year, besting 280 other spellers from around the country, taking home the grand prize of $30,000.
Mahankali said he studied over 100,000 words to prepare for the competition this year, and felt confident with every word thrown his way.
"I know what a lot of them mean, but not all of them," he said. "I definitely like to study."
Mahankali has been receiving much attention for his recent win, including an appearance on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live show in Los Angeles.
But life is slowly returning back to normal now that Mahankali has graduated from Nathaniel Hawthorne Middle School MS 74 in Oakland Gardens and plans to begin his freshman year at Stuyvesant High School this September.

Boy 'apparently' an Internet star after interview
HONESDALE, Pa. (AP) — A 5-year-old boy's lively TV interview at a Pennsylvania county fair, punctuated by his frequent use of the word "apparently," has turned him into an Internet sensation.
Noah Ritter grabbed the microphone from a WNEP-TV reporter interviewing him at the Wayne County Fair and delivered an entertaining monologue in which he used "apparently" seven times in less than a minute.
Confessing he'd never been on live TV, Noah said, "I don't watch the news, because I'm a kid. ... Apparently grandpa just gives me the remote after we watch the Powerball."
The outgoing redhead, who starts kindergarten later this month, went on to say that one ride scared him "half to death" and made him "freak out."
A video (http://bit.ly/1qQIOIH) of Friday's interview had been viewed more than 3 million times on YouTube through Wednesday morning, and he's been making the rounds of network news shows.
"He took the microphone and he started talking," his grandfather, John Borowski of Wilkes-Barre, said of the star-making interview. "We really thought nothing about it. But over the weekend, it just blossomed."
Noah, who is staying the summer with his grandparents, explained his reliance on "apparently."
"I use that when I don't know what to say," he told The Citizens' Voice newspaper of Wilkes-Barre.
"He's got some big words that he uses all the time," Borowski said. "When he has nothing else to say, he says 'apparently.'"
Though his appearance spawned a hashtag on social media — #NoahTheReporter — Noah said he doesn't plan on a career in television. He wants to become a paleontologist.

|Exception Summary
CertificateException encapsulates an error that
occurred while a
Certificate is being used.
Certificates are used to authenticate information for secure
Certificate interface provides to the
application information about the origin and type of the certificate.
CertificateException provides information about
failures that may occur while verifying or using certificates.
The MIDP X.509 Certificate Profile below defines the format and usage of certificates. X.509 Certificates MUST be supported. Other certificate formats MAY be supported. The implementation MAY store only the essential information from certificates. Internally, the fields of the certificate MAY be stored in any format that is suitable for the implementation.
MIDP 2.0 devices are expected to operate using standard Internet and wireless protocols and techniques for transport and security. The current mechanisms for securing Internet content is based on existing Internet standards for public key cryptography:
WAP-211-WAPCert-20010522-a [WAPCert] which is based on RFC2459 Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CRL Profile [RFC2459].
Devices MUST conform to all mandatory requirements in [WAPCert] and SHOULD conform to all optional requirements in [WAPCert] except those requirements in excluded sections listed below. Mandatory and optional requirements are listed in Appendix C of [WAPCert]. Additional requirements, ON TOP of those listed in [WAPCert] are given below.
RFC2459 contains sections which are not relevant to implementations of this specification. The WAP Certificate Profile does not mention these functions. The sections to be excluded are:
A version 1 X.509 certificate MUST be considered equivalent to a version 3 certificate with no extensions. At a minimum, a device conforming to this profile MUST recognize key usage (see RFC2459 sec. 188.8.131.52), basic constraints (see RFC2459 sec. 18.104.22.168).
Although a conforming device may not recognize the authority and subject key identifier (see RFC2459 sec. 184.108.40.206 and 126.96.36.199) extensions it MUST support certificate authorities that sign certificates using the same distinguished name but using multiple public keys.
Implementations MUST be able to process certificates with unknown distinguished name attributes.
Implementations MUST be able to process certificates with unknown, non-critical certificate extensions.
serialNumber attribute defined by [WAPCert]
must be recognized in distinguished names for Issuer and Subject.
Devices must be able to process certificates that are not self-signed root CA certificates of size up to at least 1500 bytes.
A device MUST support the RSA signature algorithm with the
SHA-1 hash function
as defined by PKCS #1 [RFC2437].
Devices that support these algorithms MUST be capable of
verifying signatures made with RSA keys of length up to and
including 2048 bits.
Devices SHOULD support signature algorithms
md2WithRSAEncryption and
md5WithRSAEncryption as defined in [RFC2437].
Devices that support these algorithms MUST be capable of
verifying signatures made with RSA keys of length up to and
including 2048 bits.
Devices MUST recognize the extended key usage extension defined
of RFC2818 if it
is present and is marked critical and when present MUST verify that
the extension contains the
id-kp-serverAuth object
identifier (see RFC2459 sec. 22.214.171.124).
SSL and TLS allow the web server to include the redundant root certificate in the server certificate message. In practice this certificate may not have the basic constraint extension (it is most likely a version 1 certificate), a device MUST ignore the redundant certificate in this case. Web servers SHOULD NOT include a self-signed root CA in a certificate chain.

Markets are really getting hammered to start the week.
The Aussie dollar is at its lows of the year.
Oil is tanking. It's now below $97/barrel.
So what's up? Greece, basically.
In a note out tonight, Deutsche Bank's George Saravelos explains why the outcome in Greece is, in his words, "a significant market-negative surprise."
Basically, the two big pro-austerity parties got a stunningly low 32% of the vote, meaning that the overwhelming intention of voters was "anti-programme" (against the existing austerity deal). That makes it extremely unlikely that the current cuts-for-bailouts deal can go ahead easily.
Saravelos sees three outcomes.
- It's not incredibly likely, but it's still possible that a solidly pro-programme coalition can be cobbled together in parliament. We'll know more in the next couple of days.
- A more likely outcome is that a broader coalition government is built, but with an explicit mandate to renegotiate the bailout, instantly creating Euro-wide uncertainty.
- And finally, it's possible that new elections will be called for this summer, which would throw the whole bailout deal into question, since those elections would be timed right around the next time the next tranche of bailout aide is coming.
So basically there's now a very slim chance for an easy way out.

Pain relief for bone metastasis from prostate cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My father is 65 years old and is suffering severe shoulder pain from metastatic prostate cancer. Is there something we can do for his pain?
Erin McMenamin, MSN, CRNP, AOCN, Pain Medicine Nurse Practitioner and Program Manager at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
He should consider asking his physician for a pain medication such as a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) and/or an opioid. After a few days of keeping a diary of his pain medication needs (how often, before certain activities, etc.), further adjustments should be made by his physician if necessary. The NSAID can be helpful for any prostaglandin-mediated pain such as that seen in gout, arthritis, or cancer. The opioid is useful as a stronger analgesic for moderate to severe pain. A short course of radiation therapy can be used to relieve pain from metastases if there is a specific lesion causing the pain. You should speak with your physician directly about these potential options used in patients with cancer pain. In today's world almost every cancer patient who experiences pain should be able to obtain relief of this distressing symptom.

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Volunteer Ambulance Association (MVAA) is seeking permission to build a new, 11,860-square-foot headquarters on a one-acre site just north of Porter Medical Center.
The new, $1.5 million facility would relieve cramped conditions at the MVAA's current headquarters off Elm Street and give the growing organization room to expand in the future.
Middlebury College owns the land on which the new building would be built. Plans call for the college to lease the property to the MVAA, which would build a structure that would include a four-bay garage to accommodate up to eight emergency response vehicles; a conference room; a training room; a second-floor storage area; offices; changing rooms; sleeping quarters for up to eight workers; kitchen facilities; an exercise room; and a future dispatching office.
The land slated for the new headquarters currently serves as an emergency helicopter-landing site. That site would be temporarily relocated on the Porter campus.
Dispatching for the MVAA is currently done through Porter Hospital. Bill Edson, executive director of the MVAA, explained that there may come a time when the ambulance association will have to do its own dispatching.
"By building in a dispatching office, it will make that transition a lot easier," said Edson, who anticipates the new headquarters will meet the MVAA's needs for at least the next 50 years.
The organization has grown in recent years, mostly due to increasing calls for service. Edson said the organization is on target to answer upwards of 2,000 calls this year, which would be the most in the MVAA's 30-year history.
The MVAA currently has 13 paid staff (seven of which are full-time); three paramedics; and 47 volunteers who Edson said provide invaluable service, particularly on weekends and during the evenings.

ADDISON COUNTY — Skyrocketing grain and hay prices are making the cost of keeping horses harder to saddle for some Addison County stables.
"It's quite a serious issue," said Kate Selby, the owner and trainer at the Equestry in New Haven. "In a relatively break-even business for all of us, the rising cost of hay in particular, being so sudden, is hard to handle."
Higher fuel prices appear to have driven up the price of hay.
Selby said she's seen hay triple in price from last summer, from roughly $1.50 per bale out of the field to $4.50 today. The Equestry does not put up any of its own hay, unlike some other local stables. With fuel costs so high this summer, though, Selby said she's heard from other stable owners that their hay cost twice as much to produce this year.
Also increasing, stable owners reported, is the price of grain, with 50-pound bags selling for around $15, said Linda Schmidt, who sits on the board of directors at the Eddy Farm School in Middlebury.
"When you're feeding 28 horses, that adds up," said Jill Phillips, the owner of the Wishful Thinking stable in New Haven.
These feed costs — along with rising farrier and veterinary fees, which Selby attributed to high gasoline prices — are "taking a toll," Selby said.
Despite rising costs and tough economic times, Selby said, most horse owners are doing their best to make ends meet rather than sell their animals.
"If you've made the commitment to owning a horse … it's not the first thing that goes," she said. "You don't sell your dog. That's not the first thing (horse owners) are going to do. They may cut back on lessons but they're not going to cut back on care."
Phillips agreed.

ADDISON COUNTY — In a little more than a week American voters are going to cast their votes in an historic election as the nation faces one of its worst economic crises.
For area dairy farmers who have become more and more dependent on migrant laborers, one issue has transcended party affiliation: immigration reform. And for many there is an urgent need for something to happen.
"We need a realistic immigration policy — a system with a good and solid policy including a reasonable border control discouraging illegal immigration, but open to a thoughtful program permitting migrant workers to enter the United States to work in industries that American workers do not want to work in," said John Roberts, who keeps 200 cows on his Cornwall farm and employs two migrant laborers.
Today, Vermont's dairy farms employ an estimated 2,000 migrant workers, 500 of which work in Addison County. Migrant workers help with milking cows, working in the barns, and maintaining the daily operation of dairy farming.
"If I were to snap my fingers to remove every migrant worker in America, it would bring the country to a standstill. They fill low-skilled but very important jobs," Roberts said.
"It's not just agriculture and not just Vermont. The Hispanic workforce is booming nationally," pointed out Tim Howlett, who milks 950 cows on his Bridport spread. "The way I view it is that you can either import the labor or export the jobs. Do you want to buy milk that's produced in a country that has nowhere near the regulations and safety net that we do here?"
Howlett employs three migrant workers.

BottleRock Countdown: The Avett Brothers
Amidst the surge of folkie-indie-hipster songwriters that took hold of Americana music over the last three years, few are as authentic as The Avett Brothers. These North Carolina boys harmonize like they were born with it – which isn't surprising since they've been doing it since they were kids.
Their 7th studio album, The Carpenter (produced by the infamous Rick Rubin), was released last year and soared to number 4 on the U.S. Billboard Charts after being nominated for a Grammy. While categorized as every sub-genre of folk rock you can image, the real element to their music is that sweet southern front-porch songwriting.
A YouTube quote by ScartonsmithIrving pretty much sums up their sound: "when the Avett brothers harmonize….someone, somewhere gets laid."
Since they will be performing on the smaller Miner Family Winery Stage at BottleRock, this lovely performance of "I And Love And You" at Glastonbury Festival in 2010 is probably what you can expect. We hope they decorate the Miner stage with giant mushrooms as well.

The Vikings' 2010 season started as so many have before, sending a private plane with 2 of the best linemen in football, and a kicker, down to Mississippi to beg someone's grandfather to play quarterback for them. Isn't that the way every great story starts?
After losing 5 of their first 4 games (wait, is that right?), the Vikings fired their coach and turned their franchise over to a former member of the '85 Bears, figuring, 'why not, it worked for the Titans and 49ers'. After beating traditional football powerhouses Georgetown and Akron the last 2 weeks, the mighty Vikings stand at 5-7. If the elementary math skills I learned at Northeastern University (speaking of traditional football powerhouses) hold up, the Vikings could still finish 9-7. Teams have made the playoffs with 9 wins. Not good teams. Not teams that you'd invite home to meet your parents, but it has happened. In 2008 the Cardinals came within 35 seconds of winning the Super Bowl after going 9-7.
You know where I'm going with this, right? Is it possible? The Vikings have good players, a lot of them. Adrian Peterson, Jared Allen, Steve Hutchinson, Antoine Winfield, Randy Moss, Onterrio Smith, Fran Tarkenton, Joe Kapp, Se7en. Ok, I haven't watched the Vikings in a while, but I bet a lot of those guys are still there. Can the Vikings win their last 4, have the Giants, Packers and Buccaneers all lose out, win 3 playoff games on the road, then win the Super Bowl?
One of the most overused expressions in sports (after 'are you kidding me?'), is 'stranger things have happened'. Have stranger things happened than the homeless, dysfunctional, underachieving, geriatrically quarterbacked Vikings winning the Super Bowl? No. Is it even remotely possible? No, of course not. Frankly, the fact that you even read this far into this pointless and long-winded post makes me question your intelligence. Good day.

Taylor Swift Reportedly Set Up Selena Gomez + Niall Horan
We recently reported that Selena Gomez and One Direction's Niall Horan snapped a picture together while hanging out in London, which immediately set the dating rumors into overdrive. Well, guess what? Taylor Swift is supposedly the mastermind behind the whole pop star set-up.
According to Hollywood Life, Taylor was upset that her bestie Selena was having a difficult time moving on from Justin Bieber. So, she allegedly did what any good girlfriend would do -- that is, set her up with another cute guy (who just happens to be a member of one of the biggest boybands ever.)
"Taylor is the one that set Niall and Selena up," a source told the website. "Selena has been having such a hard time moving on from Justin, and Taylor hates seeing her sad."
"She's been trying to set her up with a bunch of different guys but Niall was the only one so far that Selena got excited about," the insider added.
It's not only great that T. Swift is helping out her friend, but that she is doing so even though it might be a bit awkward for her -- after all, Taylor dated Niall's 1D bandmate, Harry Styles. Then again, Niall was recently spotted backstage at one of Taylor's concerts earlier this month, so it might not be as uncomfortable as you might think.
Either way, clearly Taylor thinks highly enough of the blonde Irish hottie to try and get the sparks flying with Selena -- and it seems as if they are hitting it off pretty well.

EMEA Direct Commercial Real Estate Investment up 26% Year-on-Year in Q3 2011 to €28.8 billion
London, 19th October 2011 - Jones Lang LaSalle reports that European commercial real estate investment held up despite the turmoil in financial markets over the summer. There continues to be equity targeting the sector and we are witnessing more supply hitting the markets. However, the increased uncertainty due to the eurozone debt crisis and a more restrictive debt environment has led to a reduced appetite to take on risk in real estate investment. In addition there is a current shortage of supply of prime property to the investment market. Consequently we expect full year investment volumes to be up to 10% below our original €130 billion outlook for 2011.
European investment volumes over the third quarter of 2011 rebounded following a slow Q2 2011. In total €28.8 billion was traded, reflecting an increase of 13% quarter-on-quarter and growth of 26% year-on-year. As a result, year to date volumes are 21% ahead of the equivalent period last year.
Following a weak Q2 2011, the UK market caught up in Q3, with investment increasing 16% quarter-on-quarter, but was relatively stable year-on-year, down 3%, compared with 25% growth for the EMEA region. Robert Stassen, Head of Capital Markets Research at Jones Lang LaSalle commented: "While the UK has continued to be the largest market in Europe, accounting for almost 30% of activity, its growth has been lagging Germany and France in the last two quarters. Although, Germany and France started from a lower base in 2010, this also reflects the unwillingness of investors to move to more risky investments as well as the current lack of supply of prime assets".
Strong year-on-year performances were recorded in Germany (+79%), France (+26%), Scandinavia (+60%), and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) (181%). Richard Bloxam, Head of European Capital Markets at Jones Lang LaSalle noted: "The perceived stability in Germany and France means these markets are benefitting from the current turmoil in the financial markets, while investors attracted by the robust growth forecasts across the Nordics and CEE are driving activity here."
Russia (+108%) has performed strongly this quarter. With €3.5 billion transacting over the year to date, it is currently ranked as the fifth largest market in Europe. Thomas Devonshire-Griffin, Head of Russian Capital Markets at Jones Lang LaSalle, commented: "Risk averse international core investors avoided Russia for the most part during the crisis, but are now returning following a strong recovery in the occupational market and good availability of debt".
The countries at the forefront of the sovereign debt crisis continued to witness limited investment. There was an uptick in Italy, which recorded more than €1.2 billion traded in the quarter, reflecting an increase of 63% year-on-year. In Spain, investment volumes were low, but we have noticed increased investor interest over the quarter.
Offices were the largest sector accounting for 40% of activity. However, retail continued to attract investors, taking a 31% share, with prime product and core shopping centres trading well. In particular, the attractive consumer outlooks in Germany and Poland resulted in retail dominating activity, accounting for 52% and 35%, respectively. Jeremy Eddy, Head of European Retail Capital Markets, commented: "The retail sector in both Germany and the CEE is still one of the bright spots in the investment market, with strong demand for both core and core-plus product being maintained."
Global direct real estate investment in the third quarter of 2011 totalled $99 billion, up 34% on the same period in 2010. In US dollars, EMEA was up +38% year-on-year, which compared with +3% for Asia Pacific and +60% for the Americas. First nine months total transaction volumes reached $297 billion.
Robert Stassen concluded: "Real estate fundamentals remain relatively strong and the asset class is attractive in comparison with equities and bonds. As a result, there is a growing volume of capital targeting real estate and this could help generate activity in the final quarter of the year and into 2012. That said the deepening of the eurozone debt crisis over the summer has increased uncertainty and led to a more restricted debt environment, which has reduced appetite to take on risk in real estate investment. In addition there is a current shortage of supply of prime property to the investment market. Consequently we expect full year investment volumes to be up to 10% below our original €130 billion outlook for 2011".

Notes to Editors:
• Entity-level transactions, land acquisitions, development projects and multi-family residential investment are excluded from our data as well as deals below $5 million.• Cross-border investment is where purchaser, vendor or both originate from outside the country in which the asset is located.• Cross-border investment is classified as 'intra-regional' investment (both purchaser and vendor originate from the region where the asset is located) and 'inter-regional' investment (purchase, vendor or both originate from outside the region in which the asset is located.• Global Funds are funds which raise capital in multiple regions.• EMEA stands for Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Evaluating Problem Solving
|Make a Lesson Plan | Summing Up the Session | Final Journal
An effective problem-solving lesson should include several stages. In the lessons you viewed in this session, you saw the teacher introduce the problem by making connections to students' previous mathematical experiences and providing a context for the problem. After the problem was presented to the class, students worked in groups. The teacher provided guidance as he or she interacted with students, asking questions, modeling thinking for the class, or drawing everyone's attention to key points. In the Staircase problem from Part A, for instance, Mr. Solomon advised students not to rush to find a rule, but rather to explore cases and gather data first. Ms. Cho, in the Fish Derby problem, brought the whole group together to work on interpreting the graph and the area of feasibility.
Both of these examples show that a key component of an effective lesson is the balance between individual/group work and the chance for students to share and compare their approaches, strategies, and solutions in presentations to the whole class. Orchestrating this transition, as well as bringing the class period to a close, summarizing the work that has been done, and setting up the next day's extensions, are also key tasks for the teacher.
Use the information learned in this session to plan a lesson for one of your classes. Remember, for true problem solving to occur, a problem of mathematical significance should be selected in which no solution method is readily apparent at the outset. At the same time, however, all students should have access to the problem. Students should build on their previous knowledge as they begin to solve the problem. A critical goal of the solution process is the deepening and extension of students' understanding of mathematical concepts, along with development of problem-solving expertise. The problems you select and the way you teach them should foster a positive problem-solving disposition in all students.
Or you may use a task related to an area of mathematics that your class has begun to study< or select one of the sample Learning Math
After you have created your lesson plan, use the Classroom Checklist (an Adobe PDF document) to evaluate it.

The Gospel of John VI
Many Christians have a special love for the Gospel of John and certainly we should. This book presents our Saviour as the Word, the Light of the World, the Lamb of God, the True Vine, the Good Shepherd, and much more. But mostly, He is our Saviour—the one sent by the Father to die on the cross and offer us eternal salvation.
In John, God uses a great simplicity of language to convey the richest treasures. Much of what God has to say to us in John is indeed simple. But this plain garment is wrapped around deep and wonderful truths. To say "grace and truth came by Jesus Christ" (John 1:17) sounds simple, but what a world of goodness lies behind this statement. This is only one of many statements that will be studied in depth in this course.
This course on John is not a Sunday School lesson; it is an in-depth look at the wonders of what God has in this book. This study of John covers most of the major Bible doctrines and many of the subjects that we must deal with in this life. Through it all, the Father and the Son are glorified and you learn to understand to some extent that glory.
One pastor who took the class locally said that he almost did not take it since he already felt comfortable with the Book of John. After a few weeks, he said that he was glad he took it because there is so much more to the book than he ever thought. This could be your experience as well. Why not begin this course and see what the Lord will open up for you?

20 Places Every Christian Must Go
A Christian is defined as one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Jesus is known for leading his church in community outreaches. He always wanted to help better the lives of others and make a better world for everyone to live in. Christians should remember this when leading their life and thinking of places to explore and embrace their Christianity.
While Jesus would want you to discover the holy lands, he would also want you to embrace your Christianity and visit places where the less fortunate are so you can practice your Christian duties. With that in mind, here are 20 places every Christian must go.

Bravo. Carolina Panthers linebacker Nic Harris is the latest to lend his face, name and celebrity to photographer Adam Bouska's striking "No H8" campaign. It's a powerful visual statement in support for equality and gay rights.
Harris is the second professional footballer to participate in "No H8". The first was New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie in November 2010. Basketball legend Isiah Thomas also posed for Bouska several months earlier in August 2010.
In recent months, Baltimore Ravens LB Brendon Ayanbadejo and New Orleans Saints LB Scott Fujita have become impressive allies for LGBT rights. Footballer Will Demps has also come out strongly for equality, as have basketball greats Charles Barkley and Magic Johnson. It's a refreshing trend to counter the ignorance.

Here's your chance to share a photo of your favorite tractor.
Written by Larry Gay
The Minneapolis-Moline Power Implement Company was formed in April 1929 by merging the former Moline Plow Company, the Minneapolis Threshing Company, and the Minneapolis Steel and Machinery Company. MS&M's line of Twin City tractors were retained as MM models. In the late 1930s, Minneapolis-Moline introduced the R, Z, U, and G models with a styled hood and the Prairie Gold and red colors. The models evolved and for the 1962 model year, MM introduced the M-504 and G-704 with a factory-installed front-wheel assist. The front-wheel assist made the M-504 and G-704 tractor trendsetters.
Front-wheel assist first appeared as add-on kits in the late 1950s. Elencol Products of Aurora, Illinois, built front-wheel assist kits for several models of Ford tractors. Elwood Manufacturing Company of Elwood, Illinois, sold the EmCo brand of kits for selected models of International Harvester, John Deere, Massey-Ferguson, Minneapolis-Moline, and Case tractors.
When Minneapolis-Moline equipped its tractors with front-wheel assist, the 5-plow M-5 model became the M-504 and the large standard-tread G-VI became the G-704. The M-5 and G-VI were replaced by the M-602 and G-705 for 1963 and the front-wheel-assist versions became the M-604 and G-706. Oliver started offering factory-installed front-wheel assist for its 1800 and 1900 models for the 1963 model year. The other tractor brands added a front-wheel assist for some of their models during the 1960s.
During the 1970s, there was a big debate about whether the advantages of a front-wheel assist justified the added cost. Sales of U.S.-built tractors with front-wheel assist were limited, but many of the tractors imported from Europe and Japan were equipped with front-wheel assist. Some people thought dual rear wheels were a better way to improve traction. Others suggested buying a tractor with an extra 20 horsepower was a better way to compensate for wheel slip. The Nebraska Tractor Tests showed no extra drawbar pull for the front-wheel assist. However, the concrete test track did not duplicate field conditions and the tractor's ballast was located to provide optimum performance with 2-wheel drive and was not relocated when the front-wheel assist was engaged.
Front-wheel assist first became a popular feature for utility tractors with loaders working in muddy conditions. By the 1980s, tractor engineers and most farmers agreed there was more drawbar pull and better fuel efficiency when the tractor was equipped with a front-wheel assist. Soon front-wheel assist became standard equipment on most tractors with 200 or more horsepower. Today most tractors of all sizes are equipped with front-wheel assist.

View and learn all about tourmaline, amethyst, beryl and other minerals and gemstones at the 21st annual Maine Mineral Symposium, May 7-9, at The Senator Inn & Spa, in Augusta. The majority of presentations and exhibits are on Saturday, with collecting field trips on Sunday for registered participants. Symposium registration is $15.
"This is not like a regular rock and mineral show," says Woody Thompson, Maine Geological Survey physical geologist and symposium organizer. "What distinguishes this symposium is the program of educational talks at its core." These aren't scientific discussions, but more informal presentations, he adds. The three-day program also includes exhibits and field trips. Displays will include the Eureka Blue tourmaline find at Newry.
While the emphasis is on Maine, New England, and the Northeast, the symposium also touches on more exotic locales. This year's program includes talks on mineral exploration in China and the giant crystal cavern in Naica, Mexico.
Fun Fact: Mineral mining in Maine began in 1820 at Mt. Mica, and the site still is being mined. It remains one of the major producers of Maine tourmaline and is the oldest gem mine in the U.S. (Maine Dept. of Conservation)
Conference presenters include:
• Frank Perham, of the famous Perham mining family of West Paris, who will speak on "Recent Pegmatite Mining at the Waisanen and Albany Rose Quarries, Maine." Pegmatite is a host rock that often contains other minerals, such as tourmaline and garnet, and Maine is famous for it.
• Louise Jonaitis, partner at Plumbago Mountain, who will discuss "What's New at Newry," where the rare Eureka Blue tourmaline was discovered. A large stone was presented as a gift to President Obama during his recent Portland visit.
• Richard Bostwick, of New York City, will speak on "Franklin and Sterling Hill, New Jersey: A Great American Mineral Locality," and the world's premier source of fluorescent minerals;
• Vandall King, of Rochester, N.Y., who will speak on "Lithium Mineralization in Granite Pegmatites." Lithium is an important ingredient in many rare and colorful minerals in pegmatites.

Undergraduate Admissions
Freshman Admission Standards for High School Graduates
Western Illinois University is committed to admitting students whose academic records indicate a high potential for success. The University primarily considers ACT/SAT scores and high school GPA in the admission decision. Additional factors such as a personal statement and letters of support are taken into account for applicants whose ACT/SAT scores or high school GPA fall below our typical student profile.
- ACT Composite Score (average): 21.0 (SAT equivalent 1060)
- ACT Composite Score (middle 50%): 18–23 (SAT equivalent 940–1150)
- High School GPA (average): 3.15
- High School GPA (middle 50%): 2.72-3.52
Applicants whose ACT/SAT score or high school GPA falls below the middle 50% range of this profile are encouraged to submit a personal statement which addresses their academic goals and how they plan to realize those goals at WIU. The statement may also explain any extenuating circumstances that may have affected their academic performance in high school. Letters of support, if provided, will also be considered.
Applicants whose ACT/SAT score or high school GPA falls below the middle 50% of the freshman profile may be admitted regularly or into the Academic Services Program (alternative admission program). Please visit the Academic Services Program for more information.
High School Curriculum Requirements
Freshman entering WIU are to have completed the following high school course work prior to entering the University:
- English: four years of courses, with emphasis on written and oral communication and literature
- Social Studies: three years of courses, emphasizing history and government
- Mathematics: three years of courses, introductory through advanced algebra, geometry, trigonometry, or fundamentals of computer programming
- Science: three years of courses, laboratory sciences which include biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, or other college preparatory sciences
- Other: two years of electives to be selected from art, film, foreign language, music, speech, theatre, journalism, religion, philosophy, and vocational education
If a student has not completed the course-specific requirements, the University will evaluate those students on a case-by-case basis for evidence of the mastery of skills in the area(s) of the deficiency.

is there a format directive that loops over two lists, as follows?
- Code: Select all
(format "..." (list 1 2 3) (list 'a 'b 'c ))
=> 1 'a
2 'b
3 'c
I know that I can map format on the two lists. My goal here
is to understand the format directives a bit better.

How to Create a Montessori Environment in Your Own Home
It took many hours of planning and YEARS of creating a Montessori environment but I believe it's what makes our school one of the best preschools in Chula Vista.
I'm very proud of the atmosphere that we've created, but make no mistake, it took 25 YEARS of hard work to get to where we are today…and we're still a work in progress. We're constantly striving to find ways to excite your child and help them learn through the principles that Maria Montessori established.
With all of this experience under our belt, we wanted share with you how to create a Montessori environment in your home for your toddler or preschooler.
If you're just visiting this article for the first time today, we described 10 different ways that you could transform your home to be inquisitive and to instill a love for learning.
So in case you missed it, here is a recap:
