Tidak mungkin Muhyiddin mampu mengadakan rancangan untuk melonjakkan Malaysia ke dalam kelompok sepertiga teratas dalam PISA 2021 kerana untuk mencatat pencapaian sedemikian dalam tempoh empat ujian tiga tahunan PISA, Malaysia perlu menjadi "negara ajaib"
Posted by Kit in Education, Muhyiddin Yassin on Tuesday, 10 December 2013
Sejak dua hari yang lalu, saya meminta Timbalan Perdana Menteri merangkap Menteri Pendidikan Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin untuk berhenti membina "mahligai kayangan" dan menggariskan rancangan padu untuk membuktikan bahawa sasaran Pelan Pembangunan Pendidikan Malaysia untuk meletakkan pelajar berusia 15 tahun di Malaysia dalam kalangan sepertiga teratas dalam PISA 2021 bukan angan-angan kosong.
Kini saya faham mengapa Muhyiddin membisu tentang keputusan PISA 2012, ujian tiga tahunan global melibatkan 510,000 pelajar berusia 15 tahun dari 65 buah negara untuk subjek sains, matematik, dan bacaan, yang mendapati pencapaian pelajar berusia 15 tahun di Malaysia dalam ketiga-tiga subjek itu bukan saja di bawah tahap purata antarabangsa, malah mereka ketinggalan empat atau lima tahun di belakang rakan-rakan mereka yang seusia dari negara-negara berprestasi tinggi seperti Shanghai, Singapura, Korea Selatan, Hong Kong dan Taiwan.
Sebagai contoh, untuk subjek matematik, skor 421 yang dicapai oleh pelajar berusia 15 tahun Malaysia adalah lima tahun ketinggalan di belakang rakan-rakan sebaya mereka dari Shanghai (613), empat tahun di belakang Singapura , dan lebih tiga tahun di belakang tujuh buah negara/wilayah lain –Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea Selatan, Macao, Jepun, Liechtenstein dan Switzerland.

Muhyiddin can have no plans to catapult Malaysia into the top third in 2021 PISA as Malaysia would have to become a "wonder country" to achieve what no nation could do in four triennial PISA tests
Posted by Kit in Education, Muhyiddin Yassin on Tuesday, 10 December 2013
In the past two days, I have asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to stop "building castles in the air" or he should outline concrete plans to prove that the Malaysian Education Blueprint for Malaysia's 15-year-olds to be in the top third of 2021 PISA is no "pie in the sky".
I now understand why Muhyiddin has been conspicuously silent about the 2012 PISA results in the triennial global test of 510,000 15-year-old students in 65 countries in reading, science and maths, with Malaysia's 15-year-olds not only falling below the international average in the three critical subjects but ranging from three to five years behind their peers in the top-performing PISA countries/regions particularly in Shanghai, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
For instance, for mathematics with score of 421, Malaysia's 15-year-olds is five years behind their peers in Shanghai (613), four years behind Singapore, and more than three years behind seven countries/regions – Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Macao, Japan, Liechtenstein and Switzerland.
For science, with score of 420, Malaysia is 4.2 years behind Shanghai (580), and more than three years behind six countries/regions – Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Finland and Estonia.

Muhyiddin perlu membentuk rancangan padu untuk membuktikan Pelan Pembangunan Pendidikan Malaysia untuk meletakkan pelajar berusia 15 tahun Malaysia dalam kelompok sepertiga teratas dalam PISA 2021 bukan janji kosong
Posted by Kit in Education, Muhyiddin Yassin, UMNO, university on Monday, 9 December 2013
Malaysia mempunyai dua Menteri Pendidikan, namun hal ini tidak menghalang mutu pendidikan dalam negara daripada terus merosot di bawah piawaian antarabangsa, mengubah status kita yang dikenali di tahun-tahun awal Merdeka dulu sebagai sebuah negara cemerlang mutu pendidikan rendah, menengah, dan universitinya, menjadi sebuah negara yang pencapaiannya serba biasa sahaja.
Kita diperingatkan tentang hakikat ini menerusi dua peristiwa pada minggu lalu, iaitu pengumuman PISA 2012 (Programme for International Student Assessment) Selasa lalu dan Times Higher Education BRICS & Emerging Economies Rankings 2014 pada hari Rabu lalu.
PISA 2012, ujian global melibatkan 510,000 pelajar berusia 15 tahun dari 65 buah negara untuk subjek sains, matematik, dan bacaan, mendapati pencapaian pelajar berusia 15 tahun di Malaysia dalam ketiga-tiga subjek itu bukan saja di bawah tahap purata antarabangsa, malah mereka ketinggalan empat atau lima tahun di belakang rakan-rakan mereka yang seusia dari negara-negara berprestasi tinggi seperti Shanghai, Singapura, Korea Selatan, Hong Kong dan Taiwan.

Tiga keadaan mendukacitakan untuk Malaysia dalam penilaian pelajar antarabangsa PISA 2012 bagi subjek matematik, sains dan bacaan
Posted by Kit in Education, Muhyiddin Yassin on Monday, 9 December 2013
Sekiranya pencapaian Malaysia dalam tiga subjek matematik, sains, dan bacaan dalam PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) 2012 adalah sedikit lebih baik daripada ujian PISA 2010, sudah tentu Timbalan Perdana Menteri merangkap Menteri Pendidikan Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin akan menyebut perkara tersebut dalam ucapannya sewaktu pembukaan mesyuarat agung tahunan Pemuda, Wanita, dan Puteri Umno pada malam Selasa lalu (keputusan PISA keluar awal hari yang sama) sebagai bukti bahawa Malaysia sedang bangkit untuk menghasilkan sebuah sistem pendidikan bertaraf dunia di bawah kepimpinannya.
Tetapi keputusan PISA 2012 lebih sesuai dijadikan sebab untuk bermuram daripada bersuka ria. Kerana itulah Muhyiddin membisu tentang keputusan PISA – tidak seperti rakan sejawatannya dari Singapura, Menteri Pendidikan Heng Swee Keat yang menyebut pada hari keputusan PISA diumumkan bahawa beliau amat gembira remaja berusia 15 tahun di Singapura telah mencatatkan pencapaian yang "amat, amat baik" dalam PISA 2012, memandangkan pelajar Singapura ditempatkan pada tangga kedua dalam matematik, ketiga dalam sains dan bacaan dalam ujian penilaian global yang melibatkan 510,100 pelajar berusia 15 tahun dari 65 buah negara dan wilayah.
Menteri Pendidikan Thai, Chaturon Chaisang ceria apabila pelajar Thai mencatatkan skor 441 dalam bacaan, 427 dalam matematik dan 444 dalam sains (mengatasi Malaysian dalam ketiga-tiga subjek itu). Menurut beliau, pencapaian pelajar-pelajar Thai membayangkan potensi negara itu dan mampu menarik masuk pelaburan.

Muhyiddin should outline concrete plans to prove that the Malaysia Education Blueprint for Malaysia's 15-year-olds to be in top third of countries in 2021 PISA is no "pie in the sky"
Posted by Kit in Education, Muhyiddin Yassin, UMNO, university on Monday, 9 December 2013
Malaysia has two Education Ministers but this has not stopped the country from continuing to slide down international educational standards, transforming our previous status in the early Merdeka years as a nation of excellence for primary, secondary and university education into a nation of mediocrity.
This was painfully highlighted by two events last week, the release of the 2012 PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) last Tuesday and the inaugural Times Higher Education BRICS & Emerging Economies Rankings 2014 last Wednesday.
The 2012 PISA, a global test of 510,000 15-year-old students in 65 countries in reading, science and maths, found Malaysia's 15-year-olds not only below the international average in the three critical subjects but four or even five years behind their peers in the top-performing PISA countries/regions in Shanghai, Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The inaugural Times Higher Education BRICS and Emerging Economies Rankings 2014 has finally confirmed Malaysia's removal from the pedestal of the world's top ranking universities – as not a single Malaysian university succeeded for the third year running to be ranked in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings for top 400 universities for 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Muhyiddin should stop "building castles in the air" about Malaysia among the top one-third of TIMSS and PISA systems by 2021 when he seems to be comfortable or resigned to the country being a nation of mediocrity instead of being a nation of excellence
Posted by Kit in Education, Muhyiddin Yassin on Sunday, 8 December 2013
The Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin will be remembered for what he failed to say instead of what he said in the past week.
On the morning of his joint opening of the annual general meetings of UMNO Youth, Wanita and Puteri on Tuesday night, the 2012 PISA results on the global assessment of 510,000 15-year-old students in 65 countries and regions on the three critical subjects of mathematics, reading and science were released, but he did not have anything to say on it although it fell directly under his portfolio.
Although Muhyiddin as Education Minister would have earlier notice of the 2012 PISA results, he continued to keep dumb on the 2012 PISA results, even omitting reference to it in his winding-up speech at the three-day UMNO General Assembly yesterday.
Elsewhere in the world, the 2012 PISA results have created waves. Read the rest of this entry »
Muhyiddin cannot continue to be dumbstruck by 2012 PISA results five days ago but must speak up on responses by Education Ministry

The Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin cannot continue to be dumbstruck by the 2012 PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) results five days ago but must speak up on the responses by the Education Ministry.
Malaysia should at least learn from England which has swung into immediate action, announcing the creation of 30 elite maths centres across the country after the 2012 PISA results which find that UK schoolchildren are up to three years behind their peers in the top-performing countries in Asia.
Under the new UK plan, secondary school teachers will provide expert tuition to primary pupils as part of government reforms designed to address serious failing in maths. Read the rest of this entry »
Triple woes for Malaysia in the 2012 PISA international student assessment for mathematics, science and reading
Posted by Kit in Education, Muhyiddin Yassin on Friday, 6 December 2013
If only Malaysia had made slight progress in all the three subjects of mathematics, science and reading in the 2012 PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) as compared to the previous PISA test in 2010, the Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin would have highlighted the issue in his speech when opening the annual general meetings of Umno Youth, Wanita and Puteri on Tuesday night (the PISA results were released earlier the same day) as evidence that Malaysia was progressing towards a world-class education system under his leadership.
But the 2012 PISA results were more grounds for despondency rather than celebration, and this is why Muhyiddin was conspicuously silent about the PISA results – unlike his Singapore counterpart, Education Minister Heng Swee Keat who said on the same day the PISA results were released that he was "very happy that Singapore's 15-year-olds had done "very, very well" in 2012 PISA, as the Singapore students ranked second in mathematics and third in science and reading in the global assessment taken by about 510,000 15-year-old students in 65 countries and regions.
The Thai Education Minister, Chaturon Chaisang was upbeat with the results of the Thai students scoring 441 in reading, 427 in mathematics and 444 in science (beating Malaysia in all three subjects), saying that the Thai ranking demonstrated the country's potential and could attract investment.
Malaysia has more than enough reasons to rue the 2012 PISA, as the country has proclaimed that it aspired to be in the top third of the countries in the world in terms of performance in international assessments, as measured by outcomes in the PISA or Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) by 2021.

What Good Things Has the Govt Done for Malaysians?

22nd Nov 2013
I wanted to write something positive about the Federal Government. But I could think of only two good things that it has done in the last few months.
One of them – making English a must-pass subject at the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations starting in 2016 – I had written about at length before. The other is the introduction of financial education in the school curriculum starting next year with Primary 3 students and in 2017 for secondary schools.
This is a welcome move by the Education Ministry, although it is being done with the collaboration of Bank Negara, which seems to have initiated the idea. I wish we had this when I was in school; it would have helped me understand money and what to do with it. This is something important to learn from young, and I'm happy for our young that they will soon be getting that benefit.
If I had learned how to save, invest, manage my finances and plan for the future, I might not have squandered the money I earned in my youth. I could be owning numerous units of property now or earning substantial revenue from investing in businesses. Today, I wouldn't still have to slog to eke out a living.
So much for that. But for my project, I figured that if I wrote only about this good thing being done for our young, I might manage just one-quarter the length of an article. That would be too short. But I did want to write something positive. So what could I do? Read the rest of this entry »
Don't Talk Big, Mahathir, You Brought Down Our English
Posted by Kit in Education, English, Kee Thuan Chye, Mahathir on Friday, 15 November 2013
By Kee Thuan Chye
Yahoo! News
Not that I want to knock Mahathir Mohamad, you know, I've knocked him so many times before, but I cannot tahan laa when he tries to act innocent and say things should be like this or that now when he never did anything when he was prime minister to do the right things himself. In fact, for some things, he did the opposite.
Take what he now says about our graduates not being able to get jobs because they fail at interviews – because their English is poor. Now, let me ask him, when he was PM, did he do anything to make Malaysian students learn the language seriously other than learning Maths and Science in English? No, he didn't!
He didn't have the guts to go one step further and give more emphasis to learning English in schools. He floated the idea of bringing back English-medium schools but that petered out. He was only testing the idea. When it didn't work, he pulled back, like a tortoise head into its shell.
He didn't even make passing English at the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) exam compulsory. In fact, English ceased to be a must-pass subject in 1974, when he was education minister. He said Malay students might fail the whole SPM if English was a must-pass. Instead of spurring them on to master the language so that they would pass it and SPM as well, he gave them the easy way out. After that, succeeding generations of students couldn't be bothered with English. He was responsible for that mistake. The National Union of Teachers protested, but did he care?

Education ministry's tacit approval of racism in schools
Posted by Kit in 1Malaysia, Education, nation building on Saturday, 9 November 2013
— Ravinder Singh
The Malay Mail Online
November 9, 2013
The stand taken by Hashim Adnan, president of the National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) and Datuk Mohd Ali Hassan, President of the National Parent-Teacher Association Collaborative Council that the Ministry of Education must issue circulars on racial issues to schools is correct and should be supported by all anti-racism persons.
They were responding to Education Minister II Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh's defence of the racist things going on in schools by saying that school authorities should rely on their "conscience and moral realisation to know the sensitivities of other races".
So has he let the cat out of the bag? Does he mean to say that the Education Ministry has all along been in full and tacit support of head-teachers who have been telling non-Malay students to "balik India, balik Cina"; hiding non-Malay children in toilet cafeterias during Ramadan; slaughtering cattle in school compounds in the name of Korban, etc. for these actions (and maybe more) were carried out with full "conscience and moral realisation knowing the sensitivities of other races".
The two NGO leaders, who happen to be Malay Muslims, are rational enough to see the harm and damage that racism in schools is doing not just to the children, but to the nation itself. Instead of building good, ethnic relationships across the races, the schools that are practicing racism are building walls between the races. Is this what the government wants? Is this the much touted 1Malaysia? Read the rest of this entry »
Worst Educational Measure Ever? Making History a Compulsory Pass Subject
Koon Yew Yin
The recent policy decision to make history a compulsory pass for SPM students ranks as one of the most ill-conceived and irresponsible measure ever introduced into the Malaysian educational system since we gained our independence.
According to the Second Education Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh, the move is an effort toward teaching students to become good citizens.
"It is not our intention to fail them. We intend to pass them, but at least let them know the basic history of our country. He also said that if history is not made a compulsory-pass, many treat the subject as unimportant and they don't want to know our history, what happened in the past and will not appreciate what we have now," he said.
Everyone knows what a bad state Malaysian education is in. At the secondary school level standards of mathematics and science are low; fluency of Bahasa and English is poor; and knowledge of ICT and technology is limited. At the same time competence in skills such as analysis, problem solving, reasoning and communication are lacking. Read the rest of this entry »

How low can you go?

The Star
October 27, 2013
It is common knowledge among teachers that a student who keeps flunking the school test can actually get a decent grade in the SPM exam.
What is the passing mark for an SPM subject? Many teachers estimate it to be seriously low for some papers, way lower than the school's benchmark.
WHEN I last wrote that more than 100,000 students, or close to a quarter of those sitting for the SPM English, were at risk of leaving school without an SPM certificate, the response was unexpected.
"Ms Goh," I was told, "don't worry, the marks may be lowered even further to allow many to pass."
And that view, I was surprised to learn, was shared by many. Read the rest of this entry »
Helping Kim Jong Un: HELP's Bad Mistake
Koon Yew Yin
Friends and some other people in my social circle know of my deep interest in education. For those who do not know me, let me say that education has helped me to be who I am and where I am. Recognizing the value of education I have tried to fulfil my social responsibility and repay my debt to society by making educational work the main focus of my charitable contribution to those less fortunate.
Since I began my educational philanthropic mission, I have received and read close to a thousand applications for financial assistance. At the beginning, I found that most of the applicants had fairly good SPM results and were able to express themselves reasonably well in English. But besides lacking the funds, they had difficulty in gaining admittance to universities which had stringent entry standards.
However, as time has gone by, I have been shocked by the low educational standard of the applicants and especially their poor command of the English language. I have been also shocked by the ease with which these students have been accepted by the various universities they have applied to. During my time and even until ten years ago, they would not even have been considered for fifth or sixth form entry so low was their standards. Read the rest of this entry »

Saya ingin berkongsi suatu perkara yang penting yang telah berlaku sejurus selepas kuliah saya di UTM baru-baru ini.
Dua orang mahasiswa Melayu datang ke pejabat saya untuk bertanyakan beberapa isu. Pada kebiasaannya mahasiswa atau mahasiswi yang datang ke pejabat saya akan bertanyakan tentang soalan berkaitan senibina dan juga tugasan yang diberikan.
Tetapi, pada hari itu, kedua-dua mahasiwa ini telah bertanyakan tiga soalan yang kini seluruh negara kita sedang berhadapan tetapi tidak terjawab. Saya perturunkan tiga soalan ini dengan jawapan saya tetapi sebahagian jawapan saya adalah soalan kepada pucuk pimpinan universiti awam dan pimpinan negara. Ketiga-tiga soalan itu berkisar terhadap isu ketamadunan, perkauman dan kemanusiaan.
Soalan pertama yang telah diajukan kepada saya oleh salah seorang dari dua orang mahasiswa yang hadir ke pejabat saya di UTM adalah:

Although Putrajaya continues to spend billions on education, Malaysian universities are not benefitting from it. If it's any indication, for the third year running Malaysian universities have failed to feature in the latest Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
Meanwhile, universities in Thailand and Singapore continue to track higher as shown in the 2013-14 Times survey.
Last year alone Putrajaya allocated RM38.7 billion in its budget for education, with emphasis on improving quality and standards.
One of Putrajaya's goals is also to make Malaysia an education hub for the region and attract some 200,000 students to local universities by 2020.
But these latest rankings show that for all the money spent and all of Putrajaya's efforts, Malaysia's institutions of higher learning are falling behind. Read the rest of this entry »

Norm Chow's comments cause controversy
University of Hawaii football head coach Norm Chow is under fire after comments he made following the Rainbow Warriors' 47-to-10 loss to Utah State on Saturday.
"Norm Chow did tell us something pretty interesting this week in our discussion with a long-time veteran coach, sir intimating to us 'I'm not sure if I'm cut out for this head coaching thing,'" CBS Sports Network play-by-play announcer Dave Ryan said.
"I'm too old for this," Chow told reporters.
Chow now says his comments were tongue-in-cheek saying, "I'm not going to quit...ever."
Despite his commitment, things are not looking good for UH. The team is now 0--8.
It's the first time the team's been winless since 1998.

I did my first smoked "blonde" ale using a blonde extract kit & using some smoked grains. It was delicious!! However my "blonde" turned into a brunette with the smoked grains...any thoughts on keeping it light colored with a great smokey flavor?? Any other smoked ale suggestions? Love that flavor! Thanks!!!
"BEER...the other white meat"
The color of the grain dictates the color of the beer, so you just need to find a lighter-colored smoked malt. What smoked grain did you use last time? The Wyermann's looks fairly light in color compared to some others:http://www.rebelbrewer.com/shoppingcart/products/Weyermann-Smoked-Malt-%28Rauch-Malt%29-%28by-the-pound%29.html
Primary #1 - Clementine Lime Saison Primary #2 - Citra APA Primary #3 - Camomile Wildflower Wheat Secondary #1 - Downtown Flanders Brown Keg #1 - Pumpkin Saison Keg #2 - NONE! Keg #3 - NONE! Bottled - Pinot Noir Wine (Due December 2013)
You can also use some of their cherry wood smoked malt.


text: Home eMed eMed Blog As economy improves, entrepreneurs face less competition RSS Feed Link As economy improves, entrepreneurs face less competition Posted by: Christina Hernandez Sherwood on June 20, 2013As the economy improves following the recession, entrepreneurs are surprisingly facing less competition from new startups. That's because the overall business creation rate declines with the unemployment rate, according to new research from the Kauffman Foundation. In 2012, the monthly rate of American adults starting businesses declined slightly to 0.30 percent from 0.32 percent the year before. That translates to about 514,000 new business owners each month last year compared to 543,000 in 2011. "It's likely not a coincidence that the number of new businesses created dropped when the economy improved last year. While a stronger economy is good for business growth, it also means the unemployed find jobs instead of starting firms," said Dane Stangler, director of research at the Kauffman Foundation. "During the Great Recession when the labor market was at its weakest, business creation rates rose to record highs. The 2012 rates are a return to longer-term levels." The full report, which includes breakdowns of entrepreneurial activity by gender, age, region, and ethnicity, is available here. Weekly Wisdom from Kauffman is a regular feature on eMed highlighting insightful research from the Kauffman Foundation.

The president unveiled his 2013 budget last week, proving that he is indeed a man of faith.
President Obama insists his budget is not a political campaign ploy. It's just a coincidence that it calls for a 133 percent tax hike specifically for Mitt Romney.
Seriously, his budget would completely erase not only the annual deficit but the entire national debt. Of course, he relies on some rosy assumptions, such as a 3.7 percent annual growth in GDP and the discovery of a new process to turn garbage into gold.
Congress hasn't passed a budget in more than 1,000 days. In the real world, we call that living off a Visa card and a prayer, and screening all calls in case it's a collection agency.
For years, Utahns have been pining for a Legislature that doesn't generate crazy ideas such as bills to allow people to kill cats or proposals to create a state machine gun. Well, this year you got your wish. And the result? Boooring!
Thank goodness Sen. Aaron Osmond saved the day with his bill requiring all public school students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance each day as led by a student in each class, not by a teacher or principal over a loudspeaker.
The bill is the latest in a concerted effort not to have state lawmakers micromanage everything that goes on in schools.
Does someone want to tell Utah lawmakers that the guy who wrote the original version of the pledge in 1892, Francis Bellamy, was an avowed socialist?
Maybe the current GOP presidential wrestling match is just a huge conspiracy to boost ratings at this summer's national convention.
If Newt Gingrich is trying to read tea leaves about the future of his presidential bid, he should read the ones about how he could be in trouble in the upcoming Georgia primary, which is his home state.
Of course, Mitt Romney isn't exactly setting the state where he grew up — Michigan — on fire. Maybe this is one of those seasons where the home team just can't win.

13 Ways: Waiting
td Whittle
Posted on August 29th, 2013
This is memory, or this is dreams, or this is a memory of dreams. I sit, a darkly yearning thing, waiting for you,to cross the bridge,from where you come, to where you go. You are lithe and fair and solitary,the keeper of my hope. Feel my heart like music carried on the wind.Run to me trailing sunlight.Leap, a backwards child, into this forest womb. I sit, a darkly yearning thing, waitingto catch you in my arms. ***** Photo by Sandra Peterson Ramirez. Text by td Whittle.

We love our tees and hoodies so much we could talk about them all day, but that'd be a bit weird. So we'll just say that we're immensely proud of the quality of all our garments and the super futuristic technology that creates our unique t-shirts and hoodie prints. Our t-shirts are long lasting, individual and extremely useful for abiding by public decency laws.
We advise you cold wash your garments and hang them out to dry. It'll keep them super soft, looking their best and it's even good for the environment.
Slim fit, order a size up if you'd like it less fitting. If you like your hoodies baggy, go two sizes up.

Great game
This is prolly the most addicting game I have ever played! very well done indeed. A tip for anyone who is struggling at later levels: a fully upgraded shotgun and fully upgraded claymore can tip the balance in your favor, especially in the gladiator level.

one of the best games to appear on Newgrounds in a while. To all the people with macs who can't play, get a PC no such thing as a mac gamer.

Mexico nabs 6 in theft of border-fence steel
The Associated Press
TIJUANA, Mexico —
Police in the Mexican border city of Tijuana say they have arrested six men for stealing pieces of the U.S. border fence to sell as scrap metal.Holes in the border fence once were more commonly made by migrant smugglers, but fewer people are trying to cross because of a weak U.S. economy and a crackdown on immigration.
The Tijuana police department says the suspects intended to sell the steel sheeting as scrap....
This was in Downtown Tijuana. My point is
when you have a coupla hundred miles of fence in say, Hidalgo Co. Texas which has eighty or a hundred miles of border and maybe a half dozen La Migra guys you can't watch it all. And if they will steal it in downtown Tia, they will cut it and cross it in Pharr or Hidalgo or where ever.
I understand your point, and thank you for the info.
My point was, if they stole parts of the fence and sold it for scrap on the South side....the fence worked in keeping them out!

Bishop Agustin Roman remembered at funeral services.

Posted: 04/14/2012
MIAMI — The first Cuban to be appointed a Roman Catholic bishop in the U.S. is being remembered at funeral services in Miami.
The Archdiocese of Miami said Auxiliary Bishop Agustin Roman died Wednesday at age 83.
Roman fled Cuba in 1961. He came to Miami in 1966, and he was appointed auxiliary bishop of the archdiocese in 1979.
After more than a day of public viewing at the Shrine of Our Lady of Charity in Miami, Roman's body was scheduled Saturday to be transported to the Cathedral of St. Mary for a funeral Mass celebrated by Archbishop Thomas Wenski.
Roman will be buried Saturday afternoon at Our Lady of Mercy Cemetery in Miami.

Director of Church Relations Kutter Callaway reflects on President Mark Labberton's book, "The Dangerous Act of Worship" - For some, summertime is a season of rest from the various demands of ministry. There are simply fewer meetings, fewer programs, and fewer people competing for our attention. Yet, for others, the summer is no less demanding than any other time of year.
Tim Dearborn, Director of the Ogilvie Institute of Preaching discusses the impact of Micah Groups & the Ogilvie Institute. How often have we heard in calls to worship "Just leave the worries of the world at the door"? Somehow we act like the needs of the world and the Presence of God don't mix. How few prayers of intercession have we heard on the issues that plague our world: immigation, domestic and urban violence, the funding of education, the cost of health care, or changes in the climate?
In terms of American sentimentality, yes, this is probably true. But there are some groups of people who might choose different adjectives to describe this season. I'm thinking particularly of retail workers and pastors.

Garbage Service, Trash Hauling & Recycling Collection in Eugene
Our family-run business has been providing innovative trash and recycling collection services for the past 30 years. All our programs are designed to be easier for you and better for the environment. More about us »
Service Requests
News from Lane Apex:
Delayed Pickup Schedule due to Winter Storm - 12/6/13
We were not able to operate all our normal routes due to the winter storm that hit Eugene on Friday morning. As such we will be operating on a delayed pickup schedule for the Friday route areas we are not able to pickup. Due to the weather conditions likely not improving over the weekend we will be resuming pick on Monday in the areas of Eugene that are safe to operate working as quickly as possible to makeup the routes.
To assist us we ask you to do the following:
- IF YOUR CARTS DO NOT GET EMPTIED ON YOUR NORMAL DAY; LEAVE THEM AT THE CURB FOR PICKUP THE FOLLOWING DAY. (i.e. - if your pickup day is Friday and your carts do not get emptied Friday, leave them out for pickup on Monday)
- Do NOT place any limbs longer than 36 inches in your yard debris cart - we will not be able to empty carts with items sticking above the top of the cart.
- We will not be able to pickup extra debris from storm related tree damage until the week of 12/16.
**Some residential routes in the South Eugene hills may be delayed more than one day depending on when road conditions are safe enough to conduct operations.

A small community in Covington County is on the list of 37-hundred post offices nationwide that could soon close.
Wing community residents say they're furious that their post office is on the possible hit list.
The alternatives are Baker, Florida and Florala. They are each about 20-miles away. Andalusia is more than 25-miles north.
For elderly residents who don't drive, a trip to the post office would be no small feat.

FIELDS: Hillary's unexpected good fortune
There are villains aplenty in the WikiLeaks scandal, but nobody looks better for it than Hillary Clinton. The purloined State Department cables show the secretary of state to be eager and willing to man up to both the nation's enemies and its faithless "allies" in the Middle East.
BERMAN: WikiLeaks upside
It's probably safe to assume that Australian Internet activist Julian Assange wasn't thinking specifically about Iran when his brainchild, the information clearinghouse WikiLeaks, released its latest round of classified U.S. government cables. Still, the data dump, encompassing more than a quarter-million internal memos issued by the State Department and U.S. embassies overseas, successfully demolishes a number of sacred cows relating to American policy toward the Islamic republic and its burgeoning nuclear effort.

Stacy Francis' "X Factor" Audition Brings Tears and Cheers; Cowell Says, 'Love You'
10:10 pm, September 21st, 2011
Stacy Francis brought cheers and tears to her "X Factor" audition.
The 42-year-old single mother of two first shared how she had spent too many years with a man who "push[ed] me around," and told her she was "not talented enough."
Well, he was wrong.
Francis blew away the audience and judges Paula Abdul, L.A. Reid, Cheryl Cole, and Simon Cowell with her remarkable rendition of Aretha Franklin's "Natural Woman" on the show's premiere.
The usually acerbic Cowell told Francis with heartfelt emotion, "I've done this a long, long time. That was one of the best auditions I have ever heard in my life… I love you."

Yeah, great movie, cute scene, hooray Ferris Bueller is very cool.
What kind of sunbathing is that? Look at them. They're both completely in the shade. The sun is coming from behind them and creating a halo for the blonde girl, but other than that I have no idea what they could be getting out of this experience.
The movie is set in Illinois and, according to the Wikipedia page, takes place on a spring day. In Illinois, it's not uncommon for winter conditions to persist well into March and April. It's true that the climate in Chicago in the spring can get up to one hundred degrees, but it can also get as low as seven degrees and, given Ferris's jeans and long-sleeved jacket, I'm assuming it isn't 100 or anywhere near it. Ferris and Sloane went swimming earlier, so it must be KIND of warm, but not warm enough NOW that Ferris feels compelled to take his warm-looking jacket off even while he's sprinting at top speed. Even if it WAS an unseasonably warm day in Chicago, it likely wouldn't STAY warm late into the afternoon, which is when this scene takes place (let's call it 4:00pm).
So these two women are wearing bathing suits outside, in the shade, facing away from the sun at one of the cooler times of day during a fairly cool (or at least not hot) time of the year. And they have big beach towels. Why? For the pool? Bullshit. Are you telling me that this backyard has a pool that we can't see? Look at all of that unused real estate between the house and the chairs; why wouldn't they put the pool there? How the crap deep is this yard?
People might question why the blonde girl so eagerly shakes Ferris's hand when she SHOULD be concerned that a stranger just ran through her backyard, but I actually think it's perfectly in keeping with her character, because she is a woman who sunbathes in the shade at cool times in the late afternoon. Every decision she makes is questionable; not raising a fuss when Ferris trespasses is just another misstep in a long line of missteps for her.
(This is what it's like to watch movies with me.)
First Beauty and the Beast, now this.

PREVIEW When Sun City Girls drummer Charles Gocher died of cancer last year, it was a shock to fans of the long-running band. The group hadn't publicized his illness, and they seemed to be as active as ever during the few years prior to this sad, surprising news. Following Gocher's death, the remaining members brothers Alan and Rick Bishop immediately disbanded the group, which had the same three-piece lineup since 1981. Along with their current nationwide tour, Alan and Richard Bishop's The Brothers Unconnected: A Tribute to Charles Gocher and Sun City Girls (Abduction) is meant to close the book on this influential, inspiring, and sometimes maddening ensemble.
No one will ever accuse the Sun City Girls of being predictable or easily accessible. They were probably best known for their various fusions of psych-rock with influences from the Middle East (the Bishops are half-Lebanese), India, and Southeast Asia. But part of their charm was their willingness to do anything they felt like: a movie soundtrack, a radio play, or an album of trashy 1970s rock covers. With all that in mind, the tour-only The Brothers Unconnected is the most concise, approachable summary of the vast SCG catalog you're likely to find. It showcases the Bishops together on acoustic guitar and vocals, live in the studio, doing renditions of some of their "hits." There is plenty of black humor, with Rick doing his best Gocher impression on the ornery "Ballad of (D)anger," and Alan hilariously handling "Six Kids of Mine," a song about strangling a gaggle of crying children in order to get some sleep. There are also moments of unadorned beauty on par with anything they've done: the mysterious, gently flowing "Cruel and Thin" and a handful of tunes from 1990's Torch of the Mystics (Majora), including dramatic spaghetti-western anthem, "The Shining Path," and the sunny, raga-like "Space Prophet Dogon." If this disc is any indication of what their upcoming show at Slim's will sound like, then it's a must-see for anyone interested in this legendary group.
ALAN BISHOP AND RICHARD BISHOP PRESENT "THE BROTHERS UNCONNECTED" With Neung Phak. Wed/21, 8 p.m., $16$18. Slim's, 333 11th St., SF. (415) 522-0333, www.slims-sf.com

Vols' secondary settles down, settles in
By Grant Ramey | (firstname.lastname@example.com)
KNOXVILLE — There was a bit of a déjà vu feeling in the first half last week against North Carolina State.
Tennessee's defensive backs weren't on the same page and N.C. State receivers were running open for one big gain after another — an all-too-familiar and all-too-ugly reminder of a secondary that was beat for big plays on more than a few occasions last fall.
But the back end of the Vols' defense settled down and settled in. The end result was nothing like 2011.
"They're playing with a lot more confidence in the back end," UT coach Derek Dooley said of his defensive backs. "I was really pleased with how they played in the back end. We got torched a lot last year back there. We're putting our hands on guys (this year), made some good picks."
By the end of the night four different Vols had intercepted highly-touted N.C. State quarterback Mike Glennon. Tennessee had just nine interceptions in 12 games last season.
So what was the problem early? Communication, or a lack there of, in UT's defensive backfield on the big stage of a much anticipated season-opener, leaving receivers open over the middle of the field.
"I'll be honest, that was one thing when we came out early on, we got a little bit rattled," safeties coach Josh Conklin said. "The communication wasn't there.
"But when we came back, we did do a nice job. We didn't get rattled beyond one mistake and compound that into another and another."
Instead of compounding mistakes, Tennessee compounded interceptions.
Prentiss Waggner started the pick party, intercepting Glennon late in the first quarter with the Vols trailing 7-6.
The offense needed just one play — a 72-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Bray to Zach Rogers — to take a 13-6 lead. Tennessee's aggressive defense helped turn five turnovers into 12 points on the night.
"We just settled in," safety Byron Moore said, "then coach Sal (Sunseri) started calling some of the more basic plays for us so we could play faster, then putting linebackers on those tight ends running down the middle of the field. I thought we played better after that."
Moore accounted for the Vols' second interception, picking off Glennon in the third quarter, just three plays after Tennessee's offense went 87 yards in 14 plays while eating up over six minutes.
Eric Gordon and Marsalis Teague each had a fourth quarter interception to help the Vols preserve a 14-point lead.
"I think most of the time if we got the call we did pretty good," safety Brian Randolph, one of the few UT defensive backs that didn't pick off Glennon, said. "But we've got to get better at relaying the calls around the field and just getting the same page with everybody."
Tennessee didn't just simplify the defense play calls for the secondary last Friday, it went to more simplified hand signals, too.
"We took that, we changed it, we made the adjustment we had to make and those guys came back and responded well," Conklin said. "I think the way we just demand that they approach everything, that showed up on (Friday) for sure."
Pressure from Tennessee's front seven helped, too. Curt Maggitt forced Glennon into a fumble that rolled out of the back of the end zone for a safety and a 15-7 first-quarter lead.
"You've got to do things that try to create plays in a game," Dooley said. "And our guys did a good job with that."
"It's kind of a relief," Gordon said. "We work so hard and to just come out and perform like that week one, it says a lot.
"We're just trying to make a statement."

Mark Turgeon 'disappointed' with Early Maryland Basketball Practices
The excitement around the Maryland men's basketball team is palpable, emanating from a dynamic influx of freshmen and transfers, plus the presence of the key holdovers from Coach Mark Turgeon's inaugural season in College Park.
But on Thursday, Turgeon said fans should temper their expectations for the time being, at least until the Terrapins develop more consistency.

Sunborn defends 'older yacht' plan for Royal Docks
The group planning to bring a superyacht to Newham's Royal Docks has defended a change to its plans which will see a 10-year-old vessel replace a proposed brand new purpose built ship.
Sunborn was speaking ahead of a planning committee meeting on Tuesday, which will discuss the alteration.
It had earler been revealed Sunborn's plans to build the yacht were on hold due to financial reasons and instead it would be refurbishing an ship currently based in Finland.
It has led to nearby residents to raise concerns over the change of ship and call for a new application to be launched.
But Sunborn has insisted once the existing ship is refurbished it will look the same as the planned yacht - as well as being the same size.
Andrew Shaw, marketing director of Sunborn, said: "We are making a very significant investment in London and are bringing a fantastic yacht hotel. The external profile of the vessel will be sleek, captivating and will have all the positive appeal and characteristics of a superyacht, as per plan.
"Sunborn has been involved in the Royal Victoria Dock community since 2003 and we very much respect our fellow tenants and local businesses.
"The new Sunborn London will look fantastic and add to the area's on-going regeneration both aesthetically and commercially. We're very much looking forward to our return."
The group added the move represented an investment of £60million into Newham and would create 150 jobs.
The plans will be discussed at this week's strategic development committee.
