ACT Tips
Many colleges and universities utilize ACT scores as a means of assessing a student's preparedness for college. It is one of several measures used by colleges and universities in determining who is and isn't admitted to their school. High school grades, class rank, and other measures are considerably more difficult to change than one's ACT score. Unlike grades and class rank, it only takes a little effort to improve your ACT score. Besides using the practice passages here at The Physics Classroom, we offer the following tips for improving your score on the ACT test.
- Gain some familiarity with the test. Know what to expect before the test lands on your desk. You can learn about the science portion of the test here at our website. And you can use the links in the Other Resources section to learn even more.
- Have a plan. Execute the plan. Having a plan involves knowing what to do on each type of passage that is on the test.
- Read the graphs, tables, diagrams first. Skim the questions next. Then (maybe) read the passage. And … don't forget to answer the questions.
- Use the process of elimination. Eliminate unreasonable choices and make informed guesses when needed.
- Practice reading graphs and charts. Practice interpreting experimental results. Practice delving into the conflicting views of fighting scientists. Use the practice passages here at The Physics Classroom's ACT Test Center to help you with this practice.
- Practice fast. Make sure that you can do a passage in 5 minutes. Testing fast is a skill and one that many students have not yet mastered. And like any skill, testing fast must be practiced. Practice enough times to know what 5 minutes per passage feels like. Use the practice passages here. But also use the practice passages at the ACT.
- Start preparing weeks in advance of the test. Don't study a lot each night. But do stretch the studying out over time. There's nothing to cram for; it simply isn't one of those types of tests. The test assesses your skills. No expert musician or professional athlete ever acquired their skills by a single evening of intense preparation. It takes continuous, ongoing work-outs to build skills. Start preparing weeks in advance of the test.
- Do not leave any bubbles blank. There is no penalty for guessing.
- Spend some time at the ACT student website. They offer a lot of help, including suggestions, practice passages and even a blog written by students for students. See our Other Resources page to learn even more.

Songs from Rod Stewart, KISS and Bryan Adams that really do not put us in the mood
Spoiler alert: This list is going to end with a 1996 Bryan Adams song called "I Wanna Be Your Underwear." It was Adams' inexplicable panties-transfiguration compulsion that got us thinking: Any website can hope to rack up page views by putting the phrase "songs about sex" in a headline, but it takes a site full of trained professionals to do the exact opposite. As such, our criteria here were simple: The songs had to be directly sexual in nature, they had to not be by comedians or parodists (i.e. Lonely Island doesn't count) and they had to be at least partly designed for the actual seduction of a human. Read, and then wash your hands thoroughly.—Jeff Vrabel, Special to Metromix

Monday, Dec 92:50 PMSolar stocks lower again; investors worried about Chinese draft proposal
- The Chinese government, which has a 12GW 2014 solar installation target, wants to see 8GW of installations involve distributed solar systems (such as those installed on residential and commercial buildings), and just 4GW of higher-margin utility-scale deployments.
- Credit Suisse notes investors are concerned the 12GW target won't be attainable if utility-scale installations are capped at 4GW. It thinks Yingli (YGE -5.9%), Trina (TSL -7%), and JinkoSolar (JKS -5.3%) have the most to lose if such a cap is implemented.
- Nomura is less concerned, noting most companies it has talked to believe 4GW "will be more of a guideline rather than a firm cap." The firm adds China's solar policy discussion is "fluid," and that the government remains committed to supporting solar adoption.
- Notable solar decliners (in addition to the aforementioned companies): HSOL -12.1%. SPWR -5.6%. CSUN -5.5%. JASO -3.4%. DQ -2%.
- Last Friday: Solar stocks fall in spite of market rally

Tuesday, Nov 192:41 PM3D printing, solar stocks reverse course
- After steadily rising over the last three weeks, 3D printing stocks are reversing course in dramatic fashion today in the absence of major news. Solar stocks, which have also seen plenty of good days lately, are also selling off hard.
- 3D printer makers 3D Systems (DDD -6.1%), Stratasys (SSYS -7.5%), ExOne (XONE -7.7%), and Voxeljet (VJET -14.1%) are all off sharply, as is custom parts maker Proto Labs ([[PRLB -4.8% - sometimes hyped as a 3D printing play).
- Trina (TSL -4.9%), which provided a big Q3 beat and guidance hike this morning, has turned negative after shooting higher in premarket trading. Other solar decliners: YGE -10.9%. FSLR -4.6%. SOL -6.4%. JASO -6.4%. CSUN -5.6%. JKS 5.7%. DQ -5.5%. SUNE -5.5%. CSIQ -5.3%. SPWR -7.1%.

Tuesday, Nov 128:59 AMSolar stocks down premarket following Yingli and Hanwha's results
- Up strongly yesterday, ever-volatile solar stocks are giving back some of their gains in premarket trading today after Yingli (I, II) and Hanwha (I, II) provided Q3 results and full-year guidance that left investors wanting more following big 2013 run-ups.
- Notable decliners: TSL -3.9%. JKS -5.2%. JASO -3.4%. CSUN -3.3%. SCTY -1.3%. SUNE -2.5%.
- Also: Canadian Solar (CSIQ) is down 2.4% in spite of announcing a 32MW module supply deal for a Chinese solar plant, and First Solar (FSLR) is down 0.7% in spite of announcing it has obtained power purchase agreements for a 40MW California power plant it's building.

Monday, Nov 113:26 PMSolar stocks jump again as positive sentiment prevails
- Solar stocks are bouncing back strongly today following last Thursday's SolarCity-led selloff. Though there's no major news trigger for today's gains, industry sentiment has been increasingly positive thanks to good earnings news, optimism about 2014 demand, and signs government support remains healthy.
- China has lifted its 2014 solar installation target to 12GW from 10GW, albeit while keeping its 2015 cumulative installation target intact at 35GW. Meanwhile, Solarbuzz is predicting long-struggling Europe will stabilize in 1H14, and return to growth in 2H14. Germany and the U.K. are expected to account for half of regional demand.
- JA Solar (JASO +10.1%), which has announced a new 70MW module supply deal, is among today's big winners. Others: JKS +10.5%. FSLR +4.2%. SCTY +6.7%. TSL +7.9%. ENPH +5%. YGE +6.7%. CSUN +8.8%. STRI +7.3%.

Thursday, Nov 79:53 AMChina Sunergy tumbles on guidance cut
- China Sunergy (CSUN -18.3%) shares are getting pummeled after improved Q2 results but downcast guidance.
- Revenue expanded 16.5% Q/Q to $71.9M. Shipments climbed 23.3% to 126.4MW. Module ASP climbed 6.8% Q/Q to $0.63/watt.
- Gross margin expanded to 9.3% from 0.4% in Q1.
- Management warned that "during the second quarter, Chinese banks significantly tightened credit facilities to solar companies, which caused us to face a constrained working capital and reduced our ability to procure adequate inventory for subsequent production. As such, we anticipate lower shipment volume and profitability for the third quarter of 2013, and correspondingly, we also anticipate lower total shipment for full year 2013."
- The company now expects shipments in Q3 of 110MW with low single-digit margins. For the full year, the company revises guidance down to 440MW-480MW from a previous 500MW-550MW.

Monday, Nov 412:56 PMSolar stocks take off following guidance hikes
- Positive Q3 guidance revisions from Canadian Solar (previous) and Daqo (DQ +11.2%) are fueling another massive rally in solar stocks, some of which jumped last Friday thanks to blowout Q3 numbers from First Solar (FSLR +4.6%).
- Canadian hiked the midpoint of its Q3 module shipment guidance range by more than 10%, and the midpoint of its gross margin guidance range by 800 bps. Daqo has upped its polysilicon shipment range to 1,200-1,275 MT from a prior 1,000 MT, albeit while slightly lowering its wafer shipment guidance to 6.5-6.6 MT from prior 6.8 MT (shipping delays are blamed).
- The guidance hikes follow a string of positive Q2 reports from Chinese solar firms in August, as companies saw both their sales and margins benefit from growing local demand, diminishing overcapacity, and strong shipments to the high-margin Japanese market. Credit Suisse recently predicted improving demand could lead excess Chinese supply to evaporate by late 2014 or 2015.
- Also: Suntech (STP +13.6%) has officially reached a deal to sell its large and bankrupt Wuxi, China unit to solar cell maker Shunfeng (previous), SunPower (SPWR +10.9%) has announced it's buying module cleaning robot developer Greenbiotics, and SolarCity (SCTY +16.4%) has announced (as part of its seemingly non-stop financing binge) it's selling $54.4M in solar asset-backed notes maturing in Dec. 2026.
- Today's winners, aside from the aforementioned companies: JKS +9.8%. JASO +9.2%. RSOL +8.3%. LDK +6.5%. HSOL +5.2%. YGE +7.4%. CSUN +6%. SOL +6.9%. SUNE +3.5%. TSL +9.7%.

Friday, Oct 254:21 PMChinese Web/solar stocks fall amid NQ Mobile accusations, Shanghai selloff
- Chinese Internet and solar stocks, many of which have skyrocketed this year, have closed with decent losses after the Shanghai exchange fell for the fourth day in a row amid credit crunch worries, and as NQ Mobile continued to feel the impact of Muddy Waters' fraud allegations.
- Muddy Waters' detailed accusations regarding ghost addresses, a shell company, inflated market share figures, dubious cash balances, and spyware are likely to yield fresh scrutiny of the financial statements provided by Chinese ADRs, and could also affect the reception given to upcoming IPOs (I, II). Investor concerns about the bookkeeping of U.S.-traded Chinese firms had diminished some this year.
- Chinese Internet decliners: VIPS -9.1%. AMAP -6.1%. YY -6%. QIHU -4.8%. PWRD -5.7%. CYOU -4.7%. SINA -3.8%. LONG -3.5%. YOKU -3%.
- Chinese solar decliners: YGE -12.2%. JKS -9.4%. JASO -9%. DQ -7.2%. TSL -6.8%. CSIQ -4.8%. CSUN -4.4%.

Do You Know Who Your Leaders Are?
One of the fascinating things I am starting to see within organizations that are deploying collaborative tools and strategies is the emergence of leaders. Traditionally, if you were to ask someone who a leader was at their company, they would name a manager or a senior executive. Most people confuse managers and leaders and automatically assume that someone in a position of power is a leader. That's not true. Just because you have power to exert doesn't make you a leader.
Any and every employee at these evolving "collaborative organizations" is given a voice and has the opportunity to become a leader in any number of topics. In one organization -- which has several hundred thousand employees -- I was told of an employee who has been at the company for a few years who has a greater following and internal blog readership than the CEO. I often hear of employees who become leaders within companies despite not holding managerial roles. The ability for employees to have a voice like this is amazing.
[ How do you build customer loyalty? Read 2013: The Year Of Engagement. ]
Jacob Morgan's The Collaboration Organization is a comprehensive strategy guide on how to use emerging collaboration strategies and technologies to solve business problems in the enterprise. It has been endorsed by the former CIO of the USA, CMO of SAP, CMO of Dell, CEO of TELUS, CEO of Unisys, and dozens of other business leaders from around the world.
More by Jacob Morgan
Leaders aren't created by their authority; they are created by their ability to share their sense of "why" and their knowledge, passion and experience in a particular area. Leaders also are exceptional story tellers. Through social media and collaborative platforms employees now can offer the same things -- something that just was not possible before.
In traditional environments where employees typically don't have a voice, it is now possible for them to become recognized leaders among peers and coworkers. Leaders can come in all shapes and sizes and can be leaders on any topic. You might have an employee in the R&D department who is a leader of community outreach and social responsibility. There might be an employee in the marketing department who is a leader of work-life balance. You might even have an employee in the finance department who is a leader in health and fitness.
Your job function and role no longer determine the path you can take within a company or what you can be recognized for. Knowing this, why would any employee want to work for an organization where they don't have the opportunity to become a leader? They wouldn't.
The sad thing is that many organizations are focusing on creating managers and not enough on recognizing and cultivating these natural-born leaders. Every company in the world has leaders and most of these companies have no idea who they are. We have amazing people with amazing ideas sitting in our four walls but we're too busy stuck in a legacy mentality to recognize them.
Managers don't change the world or grow and build successful companies; leaders do. Do you know who your leaders are?

Great piece, Jacob. I agree that we often have too narrow a definition of "leader." I think that social networking tools, both internal and external, go a long way toward surfacing leaders because they level the playing field, so to speak.

Upstairs on the Square
Online Reservations
Love the service and the ambience. Everything on the menu is good. The lunch selection is a little too limited.
Always on the best of list, Upstairs on the Square brunch didn't disappoint. Great food - attentive service- fun atmosphere. A hit!
A totally delightful restaurant. Food was so much better and upscale than the restaurant's outward appearance would suggest. Don't get me wrong, the restaurant's design is charming but the elegant food presentation and taste was dramatically good. This is my new favorite (non-ethnic cuisine) restaurant in Cambridge.
We picked the wrong day to go - it was Harvard graduation, so only a prix fixe menu was available. It was very pricey and the main courses did not meet the price expectations. The chicken pasta had almost no chicken in it but the gazpacho was superb as was the strawberry -rhubarb cobbler. The wine was pricey, too. We will go back, but not right away.
I love Upstairs on the Square. I've been back MANY times and referred so many people iIve lost count. They always come back and say it's their new favorite place. Each dish is creative, incredibly tasty and beautifully presented. The decor is a conversation piece in itself. The service is wonderful and Mary Catherine and Deborah (the owners) are incredible hosts that make make you feel like friends at their house party.
We had a nice late dinner on a Friday night in June in the more casual space, the Monday Club Bar. Fun decorating and many happy diners. The service was a bit slow, but otherwise good. Food was very good. Definitely a fun spot for a memorable meal.
A good place to sit down with friends in a place offering a decent choice of delicious foods and notable wines. Luncheon and brunch is served in the first floor whimsically decorated with Zebra motifs while the second floor is reserved for Dinners in a rather elegant settings.
Loved the breakfast sandwich--good size portion. Really disappointed they didn't have chocolate milk. My husband's brisket was wonderful too. The bread basket was to-die-for. Waitress got way too close when speaking to us.
I had a wonderful lunch with my mom here for my birthday. The food was delicious, the servers so nice, and I love the funky decor. I'll be back.
I brought my friend, a world traveler, to Upstairs for the first time, and what she enjoyed most was being able to sit outside. Since the first time I went to Europe, I have always loved being outside, too, and am happy to see that so many restaurants in Cambridge do this. The waiter was very well informed about the menu choices, and that helped because neither of us were familiar with some of the offerings. As a consequence, we tried an a couple of items that neither of us had had before and both were outstanding. I've been coming to the restaurant for years and this is something I wouldn't do if I weren't happy with any aspect of it. This has always been a pleasurable experience, that's why I keep coming back with family and friends
This is really two places: downstairs a vibrant bar and separate eating area for lighter but filling food; also outside on grill nights. Upstairs a very romantic decor with great food. Long known as a Harvard Sq gem and rightfully so.
I've had many enjoyable meals and cocktails at Upstairs, but the grill outside was a whole new level of great. I had brought out of town work colleagues with me who were looking for something local and not stuffy and at the end if the night they all thanked and congratulated me on my selection of the restaurant. One says he wants to make a special trip back just for the corn.
We had three different people waiting on us over the course of the evening and every one of them was charming and attentive without being intrusive. It made a good meal into a great meal.
Server was very good and friendly. Food was good, but one of the dishes was no longer warm by the time it came to the table. I would expect better from such a well-respected restaurant.
Such a cute place tucked away in Harvard Square. Love coming here for the food & ambiance.
We had a great time during the Lobster Extravaganza hosted by Upstairs on the Square. We had lobster two different ways and both were immaculate. Highly recommended.
Went in to enjoy the special lobster menu. Thoroughly enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere and the summer special on lobsters offered 4 different ways. The Angry Tater Tots were amazing!! My husband and I had the loster special menu prepared two different ways. The lobsters and the corn were great and I inquired on the side salad-coleslaw. The waitress asked if we were ok without it and she would check not sure if part of menu. Waitress never addressed this again for rest of evening. My daughter had the pizza and wad happy with her choice. We topped the dinner off with dessert which we all devoured!
Great food at a very nice bar; we did not eat in the upstairs (fourth floor) restaurant as we prefer the second floor bar. It is a great place to be served food and the food is unbelievably good and elegant.
The menu situation was a little confusing as it differed from floor to floor. I also made reservation for outside seating but wasn't available when I got there. Great food.
I always look forward to dining at USATS. The food is deliciously prepared and presented. The other night, four of us went to USATS and each had a different dinner selection. All of the appetizers and entrees ended "plates eaten clean". We ended with coffee and dessert, a wonderful ending to a very enjoyable night. The Soiree room is so nice to sit in the whimsy and the service is impeccable. I am always attended to from the entrance to the exit. Very well taken care of. This is a special gem. With all of the many restaurants in Boston, I get on the red line for a quick trip to USATS and never disappoints.
I've only every been for brunch but it is a great spot to be! Also great for baby showers and bridal showers. And the front room has a nice view onto the square below.
Five of us enjoyed a wonderful night at Upstair's on the Square. It was the first time for all of us. The decor is worth it for one, the flavors were great, for two. We really enjoyed all of the options we had. Solid food and wine and good variety for restaurant week. We would go back and try it again on another occasion.
We dined here for the restaurant week menu. We had great service, really enjoyed the table bread and the menu selection. the starters were all great, and the entrees were pretty good. I loved my seared tuna (seasoned to perfection) but the jasmine rice was so-so. Two of us had shortribs for dinner and they were cooked wonderfully but lacked flavor. The desserts were cute and tasty, but nothing outstanding. Might try this place again for the brunch or high tea, but probably not for dinner.
We were in Boston dropping our daughter off to college for the first time and someone we met suggested this restaurant. I am so glad I listened to her because this was exactly what I needed for my last night in Boston. There were six of us dining so we were able to try a few different dishes. I have a food allergy and they had no problem accommodating me. The only negative was that 2 people in our party were served their dinner later than everyone else. We were told it was because they ordered the BBQ special and that was made outside. Not sure why that should matter, but it did. Other that that, it was a great evening with good food and good people.
I went for restaurant week. I was delighted to have it meet me expectations. I can't wait to go back!
Love the fun decor. We sat outside, though, and it was delightful. Great mushroom pizza and homemade pasta with seafood. Excellent cocktails too.
We celebrated my husband's birthday at Upstairs at The Square on Saturday. The highlight of the experience was the service. The Maitre d' was incredibly gracious and definitely set the tone for a very enjoyable evening. Our servers were also perfect - exceptionally helpful without being smothering. With the exception of the grilled oysters with apple mignonette (which were incredible) the food was well-prepared without being mind-blowing. The ambiance definitely takes some getting used to - if you have an aversion to Peptol Bismol pink, you may want to be seated on the main floor, not the top floor. Overall, a great experience - with the staff getting top marks for excellent service.
My boyfriend and I went there for the afternoon tea. The afternoon tea sets had around 12 kinds of little bite size sweets and a pot of tea. When we went, we added champagne and it was only $5. I really liked the decor of the restaurant. Everything was very pink and it had an ambiance of somewhat like Alice in Wonderland. If you want to try something new, it's a place to go to! We really like the waitress too. She was energetic and nice.
We came here for our anniversary dinner and to catch the Squash & Apple seasonal menu they had going on. Our server this time was not as personable as usual but she was very professional and tended to our table the perfect amount. The food was outstanding as usual! I had the Pattipan Squash Salad and Pumpkin Gnocchi and my partner has the Grilled Oysters and the Duck entree. The flavors in the salad gave me goosebumps! We love the atmosphere and decor in Upstairs on the Square. It has a spunky, fun nature, yet still accomplishes an intimate atmosphere in the soiree room. I wish the party room had some sort of opaque wall to prevent camera flashes lighting up the entire soiree room, but it wasn't a big deal. We are sad to see it go!
Great burgers on 2nd floor. Limited but varied menu, warm friendly servers and fine food; nicely like Cambridge. I liked the grilled shrimp appetizer a lot.
My wife and I ate here last weekend and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. I had the duck and she had the salmon. Both were absolutely wonderful -- fine dining at its best. We ate in the third-floor room, very elegant. The service was excellent, too. We were there for an anniversary dinner, and I think we picked the best place in Harvard Square!
Upstairs is a neighborhood staple for anyone familiar with the Harvard square area. Great food with an eccentric atmosphere and decor. It's a fun place to go on a date.
Just found out that Upstairs is closing as of December 31st. A true Harvard Square icon. Get there while you can. It's still a great place to stop when shopping in Harvard Square. The staff is particularly friendly. It's like saying good-bye to an old friend.
after having lunch there, I heard they are closing after the first of the year. what a shame, one of the few consistantly good restaurants in Harvard sq.
The room in the front of the building was chilly, but the food was good.
We visited for Sunday brunch. The brunch menu is very unique, delicious and reasonably priced. The decor is fun, tasteful and inviting. The porch area is open and airy. Nice to have the bar within the same space as the dining room. We enjoyed a special treat - The Harvard Krokodiloes performed a few numbers right in the dining room. They were amazing! All 4 of us each ordered a different dish and all were exceptional, as was the service. It was our first visit and we were disappointed to learn that they'll be closing at the end of the year. We hope to see "Upstairs On the Square" reopen in a new location with the same fine features, quality and ambiance. A delightful experience!
I'm actually very sad this place will be closing. The food was delicious and I love the servers.
Upstairs on the Square will be closing at the end of the year. It will be the end of an era for an iconic Harvard Square restaurant. But before it goes, one can thoroughly enjoy the eclectic color schemes and nicely prepared food, including sumptuous desserts. Always a fun place for lunch, and its front-of-the-house proprietor, Mary-Catherine, makes everyone feel welcome and part of an illustrious cast of characters who have dined there over the years. Don't miss it before it goes!
My partner and I received a gift certificate to Upstairs on the Square from WMBR as contributors to their pledge drive. While dinner here would ordinarily be beyond our price range, we seized the opportunity to see how the other half lives, dressed to kill, and decided to give it a shot. We were not disappointed. I've been working in and around Harvard Square for years and never realized that this place had so much space. It was a bit disorienting, but the host staff led us quickly to our table (three floors above the coat check at ground level--what??) only a few minutes past our reservation time. While taking in all of the lavishly beautiful scenery, I must say the food and cocktails stole the show.
I have had so many wonderful moments in your elegant and delicious space…thank you for wonderful food and gracious dining that will be long remembered. All the best to you in the next chapter. Jane and Ursula
Upstairs on the Square is one of the best restaurants in the area--superb food and wonderful atmosphere. So it's devastating to know that it will closing on New Year's Eve. People who love it will miss it terribly. The other night, I had the "cowboy" steak--an absolutely scrumptious rib-eye that was one of the best steak dinners I've had in a long time. And the lobster pizza was a perfect appetizer. There's something really sad about the closing of a restauant that one loves. Upstairs will be greatly missed.
Brunch meets Alice in Wonderland. Will be very sad to see this deliciously imaginative place close. Glad I was able to go one last time.
It is such a shame that this gem has to close at then end of this year. It really is an outstanding restaurant. We also had a wonderful friendly waiter which really made the meal fabulous!
We're sorry this neighborhood restaurant is closing after the first of he year. It's a very nice place to go for any meal. We took out of town friends and they loved it.
The turkey and "fixings", which is, after all what ones come for on Thanksgiving, were fine overall. The turkey was excellent, and the sides were fine too. I would rate the appetizers and salad were disappointing, though: nothing at all special or outstanding about them, nor creative at all. Ditto for the desserts. The restaurant was cold -- every time someone came in,m there was a draft from the door. The waitstaff was VERY responsive and moved us to a table out of the draft. However, I noticed, that "Upstairs" has an interior door to the vestibule and that was left open ! and I do not understand why they did not take advantage of that vestibule door to retain heat in the dining area.
If you're wondering if the food is still good, given that this is their last couple of weeks, the answer is yes. We had the five course tasting menu and it was great.
Excellent vegetarian tasting menu. Each of 5 selections was divine. Wonderful meal there in the summer as well - grilled lobster, grilled corn with peppers and passion fruit sorbet. So sad to know this restaurant will soon be gone. Quiet, elegant ambience. Good service. Fine food. Nice menu. Highly recommend.
Love upstairs on the square & loved upstairs at the pudding. sad to see them go
This has been one of my favorite Boston area restaurants for years, truly one of a kind. The food is delicious, and the ambiance is like no other. They'll be closing their doors at the end of the year, so if you've never been there before - you only have 2 more weeks! We had dinner upstairs in the Soiree Dining Room, and later came back for dessert to the Club Room. Upstairs is a kind of fairy-tale motif, in pink and gold -very quiet, romantic and fun. Downstairs is the funky Zebra-motif Club Room, with colorful walls and mirrors, and food that will not disappoint. It's sad to know they will be gone soon. Apparently someone bought the building and wants to open his own restaurant - why displace such a successful and well-loved institution?
So sorry that Upstairs will be closing it's doors at the end of the year. We have had many celebrations over the years at Upstairs. The ambiance and the owners make it so special. So happy we could enjoy our last hurrah at Upstairs. We do hope the ladies do something else. We wish them well and hope to see them again.

Why are Clint Bolick & Jeb Bush Not Supporting a Pathway To Citizenship Reminiscent of Taxation Without Representation Policies?
Tuesday, March 5th, 2013According to the L.A. Times, Arizona Lawyer – Clint Bolick co-wrote the "Immigration Wars: Forging an American Solution" book with Jeb Bush, but why does it appear the book is not in support of an earned pathway to legal citizenship? Is this the legacy Clint Bolick wants to be part of here in Arizona? Really, dude? Did Bolick just go there? The man who claims to be a Goldwater believer and who serves as director of the Goldwater Institute's Scharf-Norton Center for Constitutional Litigation in Phoenix is now on record for not being in support of a pathway to citizenship. I shouldn't be surprised … after all I live in the anti-immigrant arm pit of hell when SB 1070 was launched from our Wild Wild Western State of Arizona. Whatever happened to "…Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice … that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue…."?
Why is Jeb Bush not in support of an earned pathway to citizenship reminiscent of taxation without representation policies?
More importantly, why can't Jeb support a type of Mexican Adjustment Act that resembles the Cuban Adjustment Act? Doesn't Bush and Bolick know that Cuban immigrants are flowing into the United States via Mexico?
Aren't all men created equal?
Did you know that once an immigrant from Cuba touches foot on our land — they receive tax payer monies for at LEAST one year? That's right. Cuban Immigrants receive tax payer funded government benefits. Some Cuban immigrants receive tax payer funded government benefits for years. I am a fan of the Cuban Adjustment Act, but I am ALSO a fan of legal immigration that will help all other immigrants, too, in the same manner. From the Irish undocumented immigrants in Massachusetts and New York, to the Mexicans in the southwestern part of the United states … we need to fix the broken immigration system in a way that is fair and just.
Creating a class where my people pay into the federal tax revenue system — yet, not allowing them to vote is simply wrong.
At its core, the Boston Tea Party was a conflict over taxation, and you may recall to your memory and be familiar with the phrase "taxation without representation," which developed in this era. So why would Bush support people contributing to federal taxes without the ability to have voting rights? Unlike their British brethren, the people living in the 13 colonies did not have direct representatives in the British parliament. Because of that, the colonists had no way to vote for how they would be taxed or who would represent them. And because of this lack of representation, the British government was free to tax the colonists in any way — and for any amount — that it saw fit. With no way to fight taxation and no way to claim their rights, many colonists feared that their property could be taken away through debilitating taxes.
Here is some disturbing news from the L.A. Times:
Half a year later, the proposal, fleshed out in a newly released book, has landed in the midst of a radically changed political environment. Bush's proposal – that illegal immigrants could become permanent legal residents, but not citizens – would have been toward the left end of Republican debate last summer. Now it is more conservative than the stance taken by several Republican senators, including Bush's friend and Florida protege, Marco Rubio.
And Bush, who had hoped his book, "Immigration Wars: Forging an American Solution," would help set the agenda for his party, has instead spent the last two days struggling to find his footing and fending off accusations that he was undermining Senate negotiations and siding with hard-liners in the House.
"The idea of immediately giving illegal immigrants a pathway to become citizens was seen as a wildly liberal idea. A year later it strikes some as wildly conservative," said Clint Bolick, the conservative Arizona lawyer who wrote the book with Bush. "It just shows how quickly the political terrain is shifting."

PublicationsInternational Activity Report 2004North Korea
In 2003 and 2004, the food situation remained critical for most people in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, better known as North Korea, for whom access to international assistance remains impossible.Economic reforms, introduced in July 2002, officially dismantled the public food distribution system and installed a new price and salary scheme to reflect production costs, but since then, salaries have remained largely unpaid. The reforms have resulted in runaway inflation and have undermined people's ability to find basic food items on the black market, a system increasingly controlled by the North Korean regime. Amid these stark conditions, North Koreans continue to flee deprivation and violence orchestrated by the country's leaders in Pyongyang. They keep crossing the border into China in search of food for their families or a temporary job that will enable them to buy medicines or other essential goods needed to survive. Considered unwanted economic immigrants by the Chinese authorities, they live in hiding and face the risk of being arrested at any time, forcibly repatriated and subjected to imprisonment and brutal treatment back in North Korea. For the past year, the systematic hunt for North Korean refugees has continued to intensify on the Chinese side of the border. Every month, hundreds of North Koreans in search of assistance and asylum have been forcibly repatriated to the North. The humanitarian aid workers who attempt to rescue refugees also face the brutal determination of the Chinese authorities, who deem such assistance a criminal offense. Bounties are commonly given to those who identify humanitarian aid workers or North Koreans. Predictably, in this context, support for refugees in distress is diminishing and assisting them has become a challenge that increasingly few aid organizations, crushed by this sanctions policy, are able to undertake. The systematic and organized dragnet taking place in China leaves most North Korean refugees no alternative but to undertake a desperate flight to a third country. They cross thousands of kilometers in order to reach more welcoming southeast or northeast Asian countries. Most gain assistance after jumping over embassy walls or dashing through the doors of diplomatic offices. A few hundred North Koreans manage to find their way to South Korea each year, bringing the number of defectors there to more than 5,000 in June 2004. MSF in North Korea and the regionMSF operated inside North Korea from 1995 to 1998. During this time, the organization attempted to supply drugs and medical training for approximately 1,100 health centers and to run 60 therapeutic feeding centers for malnourished children in three provinces. In 1998, convinced that its assistance was not reaching the most vulnerable people, and was, on the contrary, helping to feed the regime oppressing them, MSF withdrew from the country. Certain however that North Koreans were still in dire need of assistance, MSF tried to develop, with local networks, alternative ways of directly assisting North Koreans in the region. Since 1998, MSF has provided shelter, clothing, food and medical care to hundreds of refugees hiding in China and third countries. In 2003, MSF opened a medical and psychosocial program based in Seoul, South Korea for vulnerable refugees facing immense difficulties resettling in the South. Many are traumatized by years of organized violence in North Korea including man-made famine, a lack of medical care and the resulting deaths of loved ones. Some have faced denunciation, imprisonment and torture. North Koreans may also have experienced brutal situations during their flight such as forced prostitution, arrest, the death or disappearance of friends or relatives and the pain of exile. Plus, once they arrive in South Korea, the refugees encounter stigmatization and rejection. Not surprisingly, North Koreans often find themselves completely unable to restart their lives in South Korea. Of the 60 patients followed by MSF psychologists and medical doctors during the first nine months after their arrival in South Korea, almost 70 percent experienced mild to extremely severe psychological problems. In addition to providing direct assistance, MSF systematically documents the hardships faced by North Korean refugees by collecting personal testimonies from refugees and speaking out at international forums about their plight. MSF has been providing support for North Korean refugees since 1995. |

When they take to Rod Laver Arena on Saturday night for the men's doubles final, the duo will be gunning for Grand Slam title number 13.
If they're successful in their quest, the Bryans will move past Aussie legends John Newcombe and Tony Roche on the list of most Grand Slams won.
"We're super excited about it, but I mean we haven't really been thinking about it too much when we've been playing here," Mike said.
"It's really cool to try and break such a huge record like that. To be that successful over such a long period of time, we wouldn't have fathomed it when we started out."
Having made eight of the past nine Australian Open finals, lifting the trophy in 2006, `07, `09, `10 and `11, it would be an understatement to say the twins feel at home at Melbourne Park.
"Most teams in the off season, they go their different ways but we stick together, we practise together and try to build momentum heading into these tournaments ... we're always just eager at the start of the year, the bodies are fresh, minds are fresh," Mike said.
The No.1 seeds moved through to the final with a three-set 6-4 4-6 6-1 victory over Italian duo Simon Bolelli and Fabio Fognini in the semifinals on Thursday.
Despite conceding the second set, the world's top pairing were gifted a break in the second game of the third on the back of consecutive double faults from the Bolelli racquet. They then stepped up the intensity, jumping on any loose groundstrokes at the net to run away with the se t 6-1.
Looking to deny the Bryans a record-breaking win will be Dutch duo Robin Haase and Igor Sijsling, who defeated third seeds Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez 7-5 6-4 under sunny skies on Margaret Court Arena.
Despite being ranked 152 and 327 in world respectively, the big-hitting countrymen produced some great all-court tennis to upset their Spanish opponents.
"That's the first time I've ever seen that guy (Sijsling). They play big doubles, they serve huge ... I kind of expected them to come through especially on a fast court," Mike explained.
"They'll be a challenge, it's their first Grand Slam final, so hopefully, they're nervous ... but I think they'll rise to the occasion."

Cultural Understanding through Science Project
Do you need ideas and resources to help you teach one of the new Key Concepts (Cultural Understanding) in the Key Stage 3 Programme of Study for Science (from Sept 2008)? Cultural Understanding is "Recognising that modern science has its roots in many different societies and cultures, and draws on a variety of valid approaches to scientific practice."
ASE has been working with the Foundation for Science Technology and Civilisation and with support from QCA to develop, trial and evaluate teaching materials to help teachers with this new part of the Programme of Study.
We have developed colourful and innovative resources including City 1250. In this activity, students watch a short film (approx 7 mins) in which 4 teenagers discuss their forthcoming year on the (fictional) reality TV show City 1250. Each teenager tells of their worries about living in a reconstructed city in the Islamic world in the year 1250.
Students then use the resources provided to discover how the science and technology of the time addresses each of the teenagers' worries. They learn about the advances of Muslim scientists in eight vital fields, and consider how their work influenced future scientists.
