|The Ivy League school is rich and famous.
Dartmouth College alumni have heard the allegations of misconduct in one department where professors are accused of hosting drunken parties, groping, and sexually harassing their students and, in two cases, sexually assaulting them.
Now a growing number of former students are demanding answers from the administration and questioning how such an atmosphere apparently flourished for at least 15 years at the Ivy League school in Hanover, New Hampshire.
Gathering in Facebook groups and other networks, alumni led by several women are pushing for withholding donations until they see changes at the school — or the ouster of President Philip Hanlon. Others want department chairs and other administrators responsible for handling the sexual misconduct allegations held accountable.
In October 2017, Dartmouth launched an investigation into the three professors. It never released the findings. But Todd Heatherton retired this summer after being told he would be fired and denied tenure. Paul Whalen and William Kelley resigned soon thereafter.
The growing anger comes in the wake of a federal lawsuit filed this month by seven female graduate and undergraduate students who were in the Department of Psychological and Brain Science, where the professors worked. They accused the three of sexual misconduct and said the college ignored their complaints.
"There is a whole of lot of alums, women in particular, out there who have had experiences that are similar enough to what these students have experienced and are horrified to know this is still going on," said Giavanna Munafo, a lecturer in the Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies program who has counseled two of the seven women who made abuse claims.
"It's like a wake-up call to them," she said. "Our college is still as bad as it was or worse." More

2 Samuel 21And it came to pass after this that David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said to him, Go up. And David said, Where shall I go up? And He said, To Hebron. 2And David went up there to Hebron, he and both his wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite, 3and the men that were with him, everyone and his family; and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron. 4And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David to reign over the house of Judah; and they reported to David, saying, The men of Jabesh of the country of Gilead have buried Saul. 5And David sent messengers to the rulers of Jabesh of the country of Gilead, and David said to them, Blessed are you of the Lord, because you have shown this mercy toward your lord, even toward Saul the anointed of the Lord, and you have buried him and Jonathan his son. 6And now may the Lord deal in mercy and truth towards you: and I also will repay towards you this good deed, because you have done this. 7And now let your hands be made strong, and be valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and moreover the house of Judah has anointed me to be king over them. 8But Abner, the son of Ner, the commander of Saul's army, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him up from the camp to Mahanaim; 9and made him king over the land of Gilead, and over Thasiri, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel. 10Ishbosheth, Saul's son was forty years old when he reigned over Israel; and he reigned two years, but not over the house of Judah, who followed David. 11And the days which David reigned in Hebron over the house of Judah were seven years and six months. 12And Abner the son of Ner went forth, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, from Manahaim to Gibeon. 13And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went forth from Hebron, and met them at the Fountain of Gibeon, at the same place: and these sat down by the fountain on this side, and those by the fountain on that side. 14And Abner said to Joab, Let now the young men arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise. 15And there arose and passed over by number twelve of the children of Benjamin, belonging to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David. 16And each one grasped the head of his neighbor with his hand, and his sword was thrust into the side of his neighbor, and they fell down together: and the name of that place was called The Portion of the Treacherous Ones, which is in Gibeon. 17And the battle was very severe in that day; and Abner and the men of Israel were beaten before the servants of David. 18Now the three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was swift in his feet as a wild gazelle in the field. 19And Asahel followed after Abner, and turned not to go to the right hand or to the left from following Abner. 20And Abner looked behind him, and said, Are you Asahel? And he said, I am. 21And Abner said to him, Turn to the right or to the left, and lay hold for yourself on one of the young men, and take to yourself his armor; but Asahel would not turn back from following him. 22And Abner said yet again to Asahel, Stand away from me, lest I strike you to the ground! And how should I lift up my face to Joab? 23And what does this mean? Return to Joab your brother? But he would not stand away; and Abner struck him with the blunt end of the spear on his loins, and the spear went out behind him, and he fell down there and died on the spot. And it came to pass that everyone that came to the place where Asahel fell and died, stood still. 24And Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner, and the sun went down. And they went as far as the hill of Ammah, which is in the front of Giah, by the desert way of Gibeon. 25And the children of Benjamin who followed Abner gathered themselves together, and they formed themselves into one body, and stood on the top of a hill. 26And Abner called Joab and said, Shall the sword devour perpetually? Know you not that it will be bitter in the end? How long then will you refuse to tell the people to turn from following our brethren? 27And Joab said, As the Lord lives, if you had not spoken, even from the morning the people had each gone up from following his brother. 28And Joab sounded the trumpet, and all the people departed, and did not pursue after Israel, and did not fight any longer. 29And Abner and his men departed at evening, and went all that night, and crossed over the Jordan, and went along the whole adjacent country, and they came to the camp. 30And Joab returned from following Abner, and he assembled all the people, and there were missing of the people of David, nineteen men, and Asahel. 31And the servants of David struck of the children of Benjamin, of the men of Abner, three hundred and sixty men belonging to him. 32And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the tomb of his father in Bethlehem. And Joab and the men with him went all the night, and the morning rose upon them in Hebron.

Statement attributed to Lesley Blair, Chair, BABTAC & CIBTAC
"Following a number of recent enquiries from former students of the Avant Garde Make-Up Academy & Studio, based in Drogheda, Ireland, and a subsequent investigation by our team, we can confirm that the Academy is not affiliated with either The British Association of Beauty Therapy & Cosmetology (BABTAC), or the Confederation of International Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology (CIBTAC). We were extremely distressed to learn that the Academy was using our credentials, brand name and logo on its courses without any prior approval or affiliation and can confirm that we are taking all the necessary legal steps to prevent future promotion in this way."
She continues "BABTAC Accreditation is available for UK-based courses only, and cannot be extended to an Irish Training Provider; meanwhile becoming a recognised CIBTAC centre requires extensive and stringent application processes to achieve. Every accredited centre or course is listed on the BABTAC website www.babtac.com (UK only) and CIBTAC website www.cibtac.com respectively and we strongly encourage all students to verify and validate any courses via these channels, before embarking on any advertised training. Alternatively, anyone aspiring to achieve an internationally-recognised CIBTAC qualification can identify a reputable provider at www.cibtac.com"
She concludes "We appreciate that many former students of the Academy may have concerns over the validity of their training, and whilst we cannot comment on the quality of any training received, we can confirm that it was and is not in any way affiliated with either BABTAC or CIBTAC. In response, we encourage all students to check with their insurance provider as to whether their cover has been affected, recommend that they contact Avant Garde directly with any complaint, and refer them to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (www.ccpc.ie) in Ireland should they wish to take their concerns any further."

We need your feedback!! The Squadron is looking to get things kickstarted early for next season, and one of the areas we need to get sorted asap is regarding interest in away trips. We have set up two polls that we need you to vote in to gauge interest.
Firstly, it would be great to try to organise an interstate away trip to promote to get as many supporters to travel as possible this season. We have created a poll for people to choose one game that they would be able to attend, and that we can promote the hell out of. For logistical reasons, we have only chosen to highlight saturday games as they will be easier to travel to on saturday morning and come home on the sunday. Please vote on a game you would actually attend.
Poll is listed here http://www.opinionstage.com/polls/20…tate-away-trip
Secondly, for games played in NSW – we need to find out whether people are interested in The Squadron coach service making a return. Games listed will also include the Coffs Harbour fixture against City.
We don't need to know if you are attending these games, we only need to know if you would definitely travel on a coach if it was organised.
Poll is listed here http://www.opinionstage.com/polls/2016-17-nsw-away-trips
Away games are usually attended by the more enthusiastic of Jets supporters and are a great way to meet fellow passionate Novocastrians. So if you have ever wanted to join in on an away trip, then please vote in the polls so we can get the ball rolling on getting them organised.
on behalf of The Squadron FSC Committee

US Food Safety Makes Progress
A progress report from the president's Food Safety Working Group shows improvements nationwide.
December 31, 2011
A new report from President Obama's Food Safety Working Group, formed in 2009 after a deadly salmonella outbreak contaminated more than 30 million pounds of peanut products across the US, reveals the government is making progress in securing the nation's food safety. The progress report details a number of FSWG's initiatives and accomplishments, including implementation of an egg-safety rule, new testing requirements for poultry, and ban of six additional strains of E. coli bacteria from the nation's food system. Consumer education, more food-safety rules, and collaboration between the government and the food industry are some of FSWG's goals for the upcoming year. One in every six Americans is affected by foodborne illness each year.

Customers with different needs
Often an airport has to function around the clock, year-round. This means that the operator that runs the airport needs to work together with airlines, suppliers and tenants to take care of passengers, the mutual end-customer around which everything revolves. Together, the stakeholders at an airport – despite their different requirements – can contribute to the attractiveness of a destination and thus to access, employment, business, meetings and diversity.
But good collaboration is not enough – all customers have different needs and expectations. In 2016 and 2017, Swedavia worked to create a comprehensive view of what passengers have in common and where they differ.
Five different behaviour profiles were identified, all of which are represented to various degrees at Swedavia's airports. There are comfortable life enjoyers, planning dreamers, cost-conscious discoverers, efficient business travellers and service-demanding security seekers. For each of these groups, Swedavia has examined the entire customer journey, what the passenger encounters, from the planning of the trip to the return home.
The phases are the same for all passengers but are experienced differently depending on their needs
The passenger cycle illustrates the different phases in the customer journey – for instance, parking, check-in, security screening, gates, travel and baggage handling. The phases are the same for all passengers but are experienced differently depending on their needs, expectations and experiences. What is important to one passenger is not the same for another. Swedavia needs to understand and see this in order to provide each passenger with as good a customer journey as possible. Therefore every phase of the passenger cycle is studied and analysed to clarify the potential for improvement.
Our airports shall be the most important meeting places in Scandinavia
The knowledge gathered in this customer journey project is an important building block not just for customer service but also when Swedavia is now building the airports of the future. Over the next decade, major investments are being made in infrastructure, digital technology and better flows at all of the company's airports. The aim is to increase both capacity and efficiency. Another aim is to create smoother and more inspiring travel experiences, making the airports the most important meeting places in Scandinavia as well as international role models in sustainability. They shall be growth engines for their region and for all of Sweden.

"Through the generous support of our community partners, employees and donors we are pleased to announce the recipients of the Doyle Community Fund Grant," Weymouth said. "Grants range from $1,000 and $5,000 and will allow HealthAlliance to support many of the programs and initiatives that currently exist in the community."
Weymouth went on to say that funds for the grants were secured through yearlong fundraising events, including annual appeals and the hospital's first Gala.
The award recipients are 15 West Teen Coffeehouse, Friends of the Pepperell Senior Center, Growing Places Garden Project, L.U.K. Crisis Center, National Alliance on Mental Illness of North Central Massachusetts (NAMI), The Compassionate Friends of North Central Massachusetts, The SHINE Initiative and the United Neighbors of Fitchburg.
UMass Memorial-HealthAlliance Hospital Foundation began accepting applications for the annual Doyle Community Fund Grant Program in response to a recent Community Health Needs Assessment completed by the hospital in conjunction with other health care partners in the region. The foundation created an annual grant opportunity to fund programs and initiatives that seek to improve health and wellness and that impact youth at risk and families in need.
"We look forward to partnering and supporting these programs that will have a positive impact on health and wellness within our community," Weymouth stated.

Team Building: Culture, Mindset, And Innovation At SETL
At SETL, it starts with curiosity. From the very beginning we've intuitively looked for people above everything that are curious. Where technology is a personal passion as well as a day job.
At SETL, it starts with curiosity. From the very beginning we've intuitively looked for people above everything that are curious. Where technology is a personal passion as well as a day job.
Instead when I joined SETL, my time became my own, as long as I deliver what's needed of me, my training and workday schedule is my own to rearrange.
Quantum computing threatens certain kinds of cryptography so, as with other threats, we need to be ready. With this in mind, SETL successfully developed a number of post quantum techniques in 2018 which it could switch on very quickly if required.
At the core of SETL is a proprietary, permissioned-based blockchain. While there is a lot of debate about the merits of public vs private blockchains, we believe that only private blockchains are fit for the regulated environments where SETL operates.
SETL Labs provides a way to test your ideas on the industrial grade SETL blockchain and swiftly develop go-to-market propositions at scale.
A Blockchain is a State and history that uses cryptography and distribution to guarantee immutability and identity. Multiple computers running the blockchain software (Nodes), acting independently, make the network resistant to compromise and distributed storage makes corruption infeasible. If you don't understand what this means, hopefully all will become clearer
SETL President Peter Randall and Dr. Joshua Daniel, SETL Head of Product Strategy, discuss some features of SETL's technology and its importance to clients.
SETL's Dr. Joshua Daniel runs a demo of BOSS to showcase how performance is engineered.
A permissionless network, on the other hand, poses compliance challenges which it can be difficult to see a way through.
This week saw the first trades settle live time on the ID2S blockchain CSD built entirely by the SETL Global Engineering Centre in Ipswich.

Emu Vale mother of 11 claims trauma lead to 60kg weed habit
AN EMU Vale couple has fronted court after they were found with more than 60kg of marijuana in a farm they claimed they ran to help with treating an anxiety condition.
Craig Richmond Skinner and Rebecca Skinner pleaded guilty in Warwick District Court yesterday to drug offences.
Prosecutor Alex Vanenn said police searched the couple's property on January 31 where they found 17 marijuana plants growing, with the total weight of the substance totalling to over 66kg.
Mr Vanenn said police also found three hydroponic marijuana grower rooms in the couple's shed.
The Skinners ran the operation from June 2018 until the January 2019, and barrister David Jones said the farm was not for a commercial purpose but as a way to help Rebecca Skinner cope with her anxiety.
Using farm equipment, she turned to marijuana after rejecting tradition antidepressants and enlisted her husband to help her plant the crops.
"He (Craig Skinner) was quite happy to assist in that purpose because otherwise she takes Valium in large doses and he describes his wife as a 'zombie' on the days she is on Valium," Mr Jones said.
The court heard that Rebecca Skinner had been diagnosed with PTSD at 18, stemming from her mother's brutal murder as part of the famous South Australian Truro serial murders, and her time under the care of her abusive father.
The mother of 11 said she did not smoke in front of her children, only using the drug once or twice a week as a way to fall asleep.
In sentencing, Judge Lynch said, given the traumatic circumstances, he was more lenient to the crime than he would otherwise be.
"If it had be a commercial production … the penalties opposed would be significantly different," he said.
Craig Skinner was sentenced to nine months' jail, which was full suspended for 18 months, and a conviction was recorded. Rebecca Skinner was fined $1500 and no conviction was recorded.

no matter what we'd like (you) to believe, we aren't always ready to go.
There can be a lot of pressure when you're raising your lance to joust, and you can be faced with an army of factors that seeks your defeat.First and foremost is the enemy within, a.k.a. stage fright. Mental pressure is compounded by expectations: a storied reputation to live up to, what you've bragged about or promised/threatened to do, level of acquaintance with the bottom, a prolonged 'courtship', or even whether or not he (or she) (and you) really look like the pictures you swapped.In the sack, like in the rest of life, expectations can set you up to fail, or at least to pale in comparison to what was expected, so be modest, under-promise and over-deliver.Then there are the physical factors: rest, hydration, testosterone levels, stress, alcohol, age, non-prescription drugs, prescription drugs including anti-depressants and even Propecia. All of these things can turn Jr. into a slack ass, but it's not his fault. It's not anyone's fault, in fact. Fault creates pressure. Pressure creates flaccidity.Versatility is very effective in leveling the field. There are times when, for whatever reason, even the staunchest of tops feels like getting plowed, and when a power bottom adeptly turns the tables. Don't judge yourself, or the other guy. Labels are for cans of soup, not people."Sworn exclusive tops" may grumble, "I never bottom." Bullshit. The next time someone says they don't like sushi, ask them if they've even tried it; 9 times out of 10, they haven't. If you've never bottomed then you don't know what you're talking about. The only guys I've ever known who have bottomed and didn't like it had intimacy issues, role prejudices, OCD scatological hangups, or they just hadn't found the right chemistry with the right guy.So what's a guy to do when he can't get it up? If you're just not into it, don't lie. Don't say, "It's not you, it's me," if you don't really mean it. Lying won't help your situation. It might take some courage, but a kind "I'm just not into it," will not only be a dose of refreshing honesty, but it frees you both up to go your separate ways in search of adventure, or sleep.If you ARE into him, and not responding, consider what you're on. "Whiskey Dick" is a real phenomenon. Even prescription drugs can kill your wood. Coke numbs your brain; it'll numb your cock too, especially if you get any on it. Meth can make erections unpredictable and orgasms nearly impossible, on top of how it seems to turn almost any drill sergeant into a foxhole, hungry for soldiers. Ditto GHB. Not even Levitra, Cialis, and Viagra are guaranteed antidotes. They don't work all the time, or for everyone.Beyond that, remember that sexual urges originate in your brain. Listen to your body and brain as they tell you how to feel good. Sometimes, guys who set out to with one experience in mind find that it's not enough or the right kind of stimulation, end the evening with a more reciprocal or versatile experience. Or maybe it just isn't a matter of penetration that time.Distract yourself with porn, and the right kind. There are times when clinically lit, full-penetration, vanilla Tim Hamilton porn isn't working for Sam and me, but the dimly lit, less penetrating, Gladiators flick is spot-on. And sometimes, vice-versa. Sometimes it can be like stumbling through a dark room, trying to find what works, and that's when open-mindedness and a detachment from roles and expectations is most valuable. Surprise yourself, and teach an old cock new tricks.What works best for Sam and me is to stop thinking about Jr., and kiss. Cuddle. Talk. Make it intimate, pleasurable, relaxing, sensual. This is a good way to exercise your 'being'. Just be present. I realize that this might not work as well with tricks or strangers, but people often think they want sex when what they really crave is intimacy. If so, the kissing and cuddling could be the unexpected answer. If the kissing is working for you, but he's still just into being railed, chalk it up to a lack of chemistry and get dressed. He'll get his itch scratched somewhere, and you won't feel like an inanimate object.

How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where To, where do I go?
If you never try, then you'll never know.
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?
Look up, I look up at night,
Planets are moving at the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees,
every chance that you get,
is a chance you seize.
How long am I gonna stand,
with my head stuck under the sand?
I'll start before I can stop,
before I see things the right way up.
All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand.

Have we become such a sensitive world that any and everything a parent does is now criminal? Sadly, the photo of Victoria Beckham kissing her daughter on the lips has received a ton of negative attention that makes you question what the heck is wrong with some people.
The 42-year-old wife and mom of four shared this sweet snap on Instagram in honor of daughter Harper's turning 5. And rather than seeing it for what it is (a loving moment between Mom and child), some people turned it into a twisted image.
Do you see anything wrong with this?
"Why tf are you kissing your daughter in [the] mouth," wrote one commenter.
"... Just to let you know, it's nice, but ur not supposed to kiss ur children on the lips," mentioned another "fan."
"My mom gives me kisses but on my forehead, which I find more valuable, but it's my right to find this disgusting. Have a lovely day," one commenter passive-aggressively stated.
More from CafeMom: The World Is on Fire, but People Still Have Time to Mommy-Shame
I don't care how many episodes of Law & Order: SVU you watch, chillax!
Victoria is not a stranger. She's Harper's mother. There's no questionable open mouth action going on, the use of tongue, or anything else that would warrant a call to child services.
I guess I'm a criminal just like Victoria because I kiss my 2- and 1-year-old boys on the lips, too. And the reason why it's not a big deal in my house is because we don't make it out to be one.
In a world where children are perishing due to unthinkable events, why does an image of a loving mother spark such disgust in some people's eyes? If you truly think this photo is sexual -- or horrible -- in any way, you have a serious problem.
More from CafeMom: Experts Warn It's 'Too Stimulating' to Smooch Your Kids on the Lips
Will parents eventually need to have a conversation with their child about boundaries and behavior that is and is not acceptable?
But let's not try to pervert this bond between a mother and her child into something it's not.

Connecting families to quality agencies in our network.
Adoption is the legal process through which a child joins a family different from his or her birth parents. Children are matched with a caring family who has been educated about their needs and embrace them into their family. In contrast to foster care, which is temporary, adoption is a permanent, lifelong commitment to a child.
" Adoption is not about finding children for
Frequently Asked Questions

Families are selected based on the ability to meet the needs of the child. The child will live in the adoptive home for at least six months before adoption can be finalized.
Are there any support systems for after the adoption is finalized?
Adoptive families have access to Post-Adoption support services.

Tampa Bay defensive tackle Gerald McCoy ate Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan for lunch. The former No. 2 overall pick dominated the Falcons' offensive line for the tune of three first-half sacks. He set the tone for what was clearly Tampa Bay's most impressive performance of the year.
In the first quarter of Philadelphia's victory over Washington, head coach Chip Kelly had running back LeSean McCoy loop out of the backfield to get him isolated one-on-one with Ryan Kerrigan. It's difficult to imagine a safety covering McCoy in space, let alone a 260-pound pass-rushing linebacker. Nick Foles delivered a perfect pass and the Eagles had an easy 49 yards. The play setup Philadelphia's first touchdown.
Sometimes the zone blitz is your own worst enemy. Down by 10 and facing a third-and-1 situation, Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford found tight end Brandon Pettigrew for a 31-yard gain. Pettigrew was wide open because Pittsburgh defensive coordinator Dick Lebeau dialed up one of his famous zone blitzes. The problem with the zone blitz, however, is that it leaves open voids in the secondary. The Lions did an excellent job of picking up the blitz, allowing Stafford to find Pettigrew. Detroit would score two players later.
Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger played a superb game, but he still wasn't without errors on the day. With a chance to tie the game at 27, tight end David Paulsen was open in the end zone after a play-action fake. Roethlisberger's throw sailed on him, though, costing the Steelers an easy touchdown.
Maybe it was the conditions, but Detroit running back Reggie Bush put the ball on the ground twice against Pittsburgh. The Steelers recovered one fumble, though they missed an opportunity to challenge the other. Regardless, Bush's ball security landed him on the bench, as Joique Bell assumed most of the workload early in the second half. Bush didn't become a factor in the game again until Bell left with an injury.
Halftime adjustments often decide the outcome of a game and that was on display as Pittsburgh defeated Detroit. In the first half, wide receiver Calvin Johnson caught six passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns. In the second half, Johnson didn't catch a pass. The Steelers outscored Detroit 17-0 in the second half.
San Francisco head coach Jim Harbaugh made two awful first-half challenges. The first was a challenge of whether New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees crossed the line of scrimmage on a short pass completion. Replays clearly showed both Brees and the ball behind the line of scrimmage, so either Harbaugh got bad information from upstairs, or he made a decision based on emotion. The second came on an incomplete pass in the end zone, when wide receiver Jon Baldwin was unable to complete the process of the catch going to the ground. Replays clearly showed this was the case. I can't emphasis the replay element enough. Neither call was controversial. Harbaugh challenged them anyways, though, and cost his team two first-half timeouts.
On San Francisco's only second-half touchdown, quarterback Colin Kaepernick and the entire San Francisco offensive line did a great job of selling sweep on the play. Kaepernick, however, pulled up and delivered a strike to tight end Vernon Davis in the end zone. The fake quarterback sweep was a nice play design from Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
Sean Payton's brilliant use of his timeouts attributed to New Orleans' last-second defeat of San Francisco. Payton combined an aggressive nature with amazing clock management. Every coach should pay attention to what he did. The Saints ran a draw on third and long to setup Garrett Hartley with a field goal. Instead of letting the clock run to the two-minute warning, Payton took a timeout with 2:11 remaining. During the telecast, Joe Buck questioned the timeout. He would later presume Payton didn't want Hartley -- who is having an inconsistent season -- to kick after a long break following the two-minute warning. Buck was wrong, though. Payton was saving time in case New Orleans got the ball back. Hartley made the kick to tie the game with 2:06 remaining. As was accustom throughout the game, the kickoff was a touchback, so no time ran off the clock. San Francisco had to run a play before the two-minute warning, as a result. You could argue this was also saving time for the 49ers, but they were going to have at least two minutes and a timeout remaining. Time wasn't much of a factor in their case. Regardless, the Saints sacked Kaepernick on first down, and Payton again called a timeout with 2:01 remaining, forcing the 49ers to run another play before the two-minute warning. Two plays later, Kaepernick inexplicably ran out of bounds on a third and long, allowing the Saints to keep their last timeout. The 49ers had to punt the ball with 1:48 remaining. Because of Payton's clock management and Kaepernick's mistake, the Saints got the ball back with a 1:41 remaining and one timeout. I can't remember the last time I saw a coach use his timeouts as wisely as Payton did. He deserved the game ball.
Kansas City wide receiver Dwayne Bowe got away with pass interference on his six-yard touchdown reception. Normally, if a wide receiver extends his arms, officials will call offensive pass interference. By my judgment, Bowe extended his arms enough to warrant a penalty.
Facing the best pass rush in football, the Broncos allowed zero sacks. In fact, the Chiefs never even knocked Peyton Manning down. Denver offensive tackle Chris Clark is filling in for all-pro Ryan Clady, who is out for the season with a foot injury. Clark's been heavily scrutinized, but the backup tackle deserves immense credit for holding Kansas City linebacker Tamba Hali to three tackles. In the end, Kansas City's inability to hit Manning (as Indianapolis did) was the difference in the game.
On a crucial third-and-1 play in the third quarter, New England almost stopped Carolina running back Mike Tolbert behind the first-down marker twice. However, after correctly filling the hole, New England linebacker Brandon Spikes failed to tackle Tolbert. His missed tackle allowed Tolbert to bounce outside, where he stiff-armed New England safety Devin McCourty, and dragged him pass the first-down marker. Five plays later, Carolina scored their second touchdown of the game.
Both Tom Brady and Cam Newton were magnificent on Monday night. Brady even completed 13 passes in a row. The two starting quarterbacks especially rose to the occasion in the second half. In the final 30 minutes, the duo combined to complete 27-of-39 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns. Brady did throw an interception on the controversial last play of the game, though. Still, it was fun to watch the future (Newton) match the present (Brady) at just about every turn.

10 Interesting Facts About Our Kashmir Valley.
Located in the state of Jammu & Kashmir, the Kashmir Valley is crafted with natural beauty, rich culture, and unique diversity. This valley is a famous attraction for the tourists who wish to explore nature and culture. The Kashmir Valley offers its visitors such an extraordinary experience that they remember for ages and beyond. But, there are some facts that are usually not known to many people.
1. The Mythical Origin
The Nilmata Purana says that this current valley was formerly a lake. Kashyap Rishi drained off all the water of the lake. Thus, this beautiful landscape emerged. Kashmir stands as a synonym for the desiccated land. This valley gained its name from this mythical incident and the particularly mentioned mythical term.
2. The Paradise of the Earth
The overwhelming and fascinating natural beauty will literally compel you to admit that Kashmir Valley is indeed the paradise on earth. Mesmerized by the beauty of this place, the Mughal emperor Jahangir named the place as The Paradise of the Earth.
3. Rich in Religious History
Kashmir Valley has a rich religious history. Srinagar is the first capital of this place. It was established by the Buddhist emperor Ashoka. Then the area started to serve as a prominent center of Buddhism. Hinduism was introduced in this area in the 9th century AD. Thereafter, this place allowed these two religions to flourish side by side. This area was invaded in the 14th century by the Mongol ruler, Dulucha. Thus, Islam was introduced and it ended long run of ruling by Hinduism and Buddhism.
4. Disputed Status
Kashmir Valley has a thrilling political past. India and Pakistan were involved in three wars (1947, 1965 & 1999) with a common aim to establish their control and power in this region. Due to its geographical location, this place is a center of high political conflicts even till now. Presently, this area is administered by three different nations namely India, Pakistan, and China.
5. Distinct Flag
Although controlled by 3 different countries, Jammu and Kashmir has been granted to have its own national flag according to Article 370 of the Indian constitution. The flag is deep red in its color. This color represents labor. The flag has a symbol of plough that represents agriculture. The three tall stripes of the flag represent Jammu, the Kashmir Valley, and Ladakh — the three diverse regions of the area.
6. Two Capitals
Another interesting fact about the Kashmir Valley is that it has two capitals, one each for two different seasons — summer and winter. Srinagar is the capital for the season of summer and Kashmir is the capital in the season of winter. So, there is diversity not only in the natural beauty and culture but also in the case of determining the capital of the state.
7. High Literacy Rate
Kashmir Valley has a literacy rate that is much higher than that of India and Pakistan. It is a hilariously ridiculous fact that these two powerful nations (battling for the full control over Kashmir Valley) are left behind by the Kashmir Valley in the literacy rate scenario.
8. Duality in Citizenship
The residents of the Kashmiri region controlled by India hold dual citizenship identity — one as an Indian and the other one as a Kashmiri. Moreover, if a Pakistani citizen marries a Kashmiri girl then he can gain the citizenship of India. It is indeed amazing.
9. Highest Rail Bridge, Immense Resource of Power, and Splendid Cultivation
The Kashmir Valley will be the place where the world's highest rail bridge will be situated once the Chenab Bridge (359m high) is completed. The Kashmir Valley has immense natural resources in store. The water resources of this region can produce power measuring in thousands of megawatts. It is also the only place in India that is suitable for the cultivation of costly Saffron and Walnuts.
10. Attractive and Famous Tourist Spots
The Kashmir Valley is mainly famous for beautiful and attractive tourist spots. There are lakes like Dal lake, Wular lake, Gadsar lake, Satsar lake, Vishansar lake etc. Then there are a number of Mughal gardens like Shalimar bagh, Nishat bagh, Chashme Shahi etc. It also has a number of hill stations like Pahalgam, Gulmarg, Sonmarg. Kashmir Valley is also famous because it is the place where the major Hindu shrine named Amarnath Temple is located.

Festival to Aid Fight Against Malaria
Festival to Aid Fight Against Malaria
UCR students organize World Benefit on April 15 to support UNICEF campaign.
(April 9, 2008)
NEWS MEDIA CONTACTName: Bettye Miller
Tel: (951) 827-7847
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
The event, which is open to the public, will feature a performance by Chosaanu, a Senegalese dance troupe that is based in San Francisco, at 7:45 p.m. in the University Theatre. The cost for the Chosaanu performance is $6. Admission to other festival events is free. Parking costs $6.
From 5:30 p.m. to 6:45 p.m., various student organizations will staff information tables and sell food on the University Theatre patio. Among those organizations are: International Service and Global Impact, Students for Tibet, Students for Darfur, Students for Justice in Palestine, La Union Estudiantil de la Raza, African Americans in the Humanities, Amnesty International, Alpha Phi Alpha, African Student Programs, Latino Student Union, KUCR and the Riverside City Youth Council.
Other activities include a coffee bar, an auction of student art and a photo/movie gallery about the effects of malaria globally.
Dance performances by Students for Justice in Palestine, the Nigerian Student Association, and students Geminelle and David Sides are scheduled from 6:45 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.
The festival is sponsored by Associated Students of UCR and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs.
Samantha Wilson, a junior majoring in political science and global studies, organized the first World Benefit last year. That event raised nearly $1,500 for Human Rights Watch and its campaign to aid women in Darfur who were separated from their homes and families.
"I started World Benefit last year to involve more UCR students in humanitarian efforts," Wilson said. "Not all of us are activists, but I believe that we are all interested in improving the lives of people we do not know in places we've never been to. We do this in many ways, and World Benefit provides an opportunity for busy students and staff to give of themselves in a celebratory, yet informational, environment."
Ndeye Fatu Sesay, a native of Sierra Leone who is organizing this year's festival, selected UNICEF's malaria-relief program as the beneficiary of World Benefit. She is a senior majoring in political science international relations.
"Roll Back Malaria supports research, insecticide-treated nets, insecticide treatments in low-income areas across the globe, and anti-malarial drugs for mothers and children," Sesay said. "This is important to me because where I come from malaria is endemic. We have seen many people lose their lives to something that is curable. Yet, because of poverty, people are not able to access these treatments. When I got malaria I was able to be treated due to the privilege within my family. But to see something that costs so little to treat kill one child every 30 seconds is bothersome."
According to UNICEF, malaria infects 350 million to 500 million people each year and kills nearly 1 million people, most of them children in Africa. Malaria accounts for about one in five of all childhood deaths in Africa. The UNICEF initiative aims to cut infections in half by 2010.
The University of California, Riverside (www.ucr.edu) is a doctoral research university, a living laboratory for groundbreaking exploration of issues critical to Inland Southern California, the state and communities around the world. Reflecting California's diverse culture, UCR's enrollment has exceeded 21,000 students. The campus opened a medical school in 2013 and has reached the heart of the Coachella Valley by way of the UCR Palm Desert Center. The campus has an annual statewide economic impact of more than $1 billion.
A broadcast studio with fiber cable to the AT&T Hollywood hub is available for live or taped interviews. UCR also has ISDN for radio interviews. To learn more, call (951) UCR-NEWS.

Implementation Strategies
View a selection of implementation strategies from educators who are successfully using ALEKS to achieve dramatic learning outcomes.
Thomaston Grammar School, Regional School Unit 13
Thomaston, ME
Grade(s): 5 - 8
Scenario: Laptop Carts
Purpose: Intervention, Enrichment/Gifted and Talented, Special Education, Improve State Test Scores
ALEKS Portion of Curriculum: 30%
Time Spent in ALEKS: 1.67 hours per week, 21.67 hours per term
ALEKS Course: Mathematics - LV 3 (with QuickTables), Mathematics - LV 5 (with QuickTables), Essential Mathematics (with QuickTables)
Sara Gilfenbaum, Teacher
ALEKS not only helps students to master skills, but also helps to build confidence. ALEKS is used in conjunction with Connected Math. Connected Math is a rich, language-based math program. By supplementing it with ALEKS, all of my students' needs can be met. I have students on Level 3 and other students on Algebra. Differentiating like this has been wonderful for my students.
What challenges did the class or school face in math prior to using ALEKS?
Our students tend to be good at math reasoning and problem solving. However, they are not good at computation. ALEKS has helped them become more efficient and accurate in their computation.
How many days per week is class time dedicated to ALEKS?
2 days per week.
What is the average length of a class period when ALEKS is used?
45 minutes.
How do you implement ALEKS?
Although I use ALEKS as a stand-alone program, I tell the students to look for problems that compliment what is being studied in class.
Do you cover ALEKS concepts in a particular order?
I ask the students to go to the part of the ALEKS Pie that compliments what we are covering in class.
How do you structure your class period with ALEKS?
I have two classes a week dedicated to ALEKS. It is also used during tutorials and in the afterschool study program. I also encourage students to use it at home and have shown parents how to do this.
How did you modify your regular teaching approach as a result of ALEKS?
ALEKS helps me determine what topics need more attention.
How often are students required or encouraged to work on ALEKS at home?
As often as possible.
How do you cultivate parental involvement and support for ALEKS?
During open house and student-led conferences, we teach the parents how to log in to ALEKS.
Is ALEKS assigned to your students as all or part of their homework responsibilities? If so, what part of the total homework load is it?
ALEKS is optional because not all students have computers and Internet access.
How do you incorporate ALEKS into your grading system?
I don't incorporate ALEKS into the grading system.
Do you require students to make regular amounts of progress in ALEKS?
I haven't required regular progress but feel like this will be a goal for next year.
Learning Outcomes
Since using ALEKS, please describe the learning outcomes or progress you have seen.
When a student completes an ALEKS assessment, I have a conference with them. ALEKS motivates them, and they are very interested in filling up their pie. We are taking the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) tests at the end of May; they feel confident and I feel confident that scores will increase.
Best Practices
Are there any best practices you would like to share with other teachers implementing ALEKS?
It is critical to get students to "buy in" to ALEKS. When they do, their progress skyrockets. I have them keep track of their progress on a lab sheet that I designed called the ALEKS Tracker. During student-led conferences, they report to their parents about their progress.

Enrollment shall be granted without discrimination in regard to race, nationality, ethnic origin, creed, political belief or sex. Enrollment shall be granted and maintained provided the center can meet the needs of the child. The center reserves the right to dismiss a member for reasons of non-cooperation, delinquency in payment of fees, or inability of the child or parent to adjust to center programs.
Students must be two and a half years of age (30 months) and fully potty trained, to be enrolled in our Three Year Old program. Students must be four years of age by August 1, 2019, to be enrolled in our Four Year Old program.
Our early childhood program follows 1st Lutheran School calendar from August through May. Classes do not take place during the holiday periods scheduled by the school.
- Morning Preschool Program will run from 8:00 am to 11:00 am Monday – Friday. Children will spend time learning letters and sounds, counting, and other important skills and practices that will prepare them for success in kindergarten and beyond. Each class will have a licensed teacher and appropriate assistance from teacher aides.
- School Day Program will run from 8:00 am – 3:10 pm daily. Children will have preschool class until 11:00 a.m., lunch, rest time and other fun learning experiences. Various teachers and aides will collaborate to make this a great program.
- Full Day Program provides continued care until 5:30 pm will be available for all families until 5:30 pm. We also provide an early drop off time, at no additional charge, for all families beginning at 7:30 am.
The strength of our program lies within our staff. Staff requirements exceed the Arkansas Division of Child Care and Early Childhood Education standards. Staff members are selected carefully on the basis of their training in child development, previous experience, their patience, warmth and sensitivity in dealing with children. All staff members have completed a hiring process that includes an interview, background checks, and education verifications. Before permanent hiring is allowed, all employees must be cleared by the Arkansas Department of Human Services DCCECE Child Maltreatment Central Registry. New employees are allowed to work on a probationary status while their clearance information is being processed. A staff member who is trained in first aid and CPR is always present. Because professional growth is required, all staff members complete a minimum of 15 hours training in the field each year.
