Throughout history, people have believed that animals can make predictions about human fate. The results are often disappointing, but that hasn't stopped us from turning to them time and time again.
And why not? Animals can do many things that we can't — like fly and live underwater.
So why not assume that they can see into the future too?
Legend has it that if a groundhog sees his shadow on the morning of February 2, winter will last six more weeks. Spoilsport scientists say he's no more accurate than your local weatherman: An analysis by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showed that, from 1988 to 2010, there was no correlation between the groundhog's prediction and the weather for the rest of the season.
But one thing that the groundhog's appearance does predict is a boon in tourism: 30,000 folks are expected to visit Punxsutawney, Pa., to see the most famous groundhog named Phil make his weather forecast this year. While we wait to see if his prediction is correct, here's a look at some other prescient animals of the domestic, farm-dwelling and even aquatic variety.
The groundhog isn't the only animal who can make a prediction about the weather — and tourism. The woollybear caterpillar is striped brown and black, and, according to folklore, if the brown stripe is thick, winter will be severe; if it's thin, the season will be mild. Party-pooper insect experts disagree and say that the variation in the brown bands has nothing to do with the weather — they're just bigger on older caterpillars. But that doesn't bother the more than 100,000 people who attend the Woollybear Festival in Vermillion, Ohio, each fall to enjoy entertainment that includes caterpillar races.
Cultures all over the world believe that animals can tell when tremors are coming. These tales go as far back as 373 B.C., when it's said that all animals — rats, snakes, and even worms and beetles — left the Greek city of Helice five days before it was destroyed by a quake.
In Japan, there's a tradition that claims catfish can predict the shaking of the earth. Scientists testing this legend spent 16 years recording the behavior of a tank of catfish in Tokyo and then compared the data with records of seismic activity. The fish did become more active several days before a quake — but it turned out that they were actually too sensitive to be useful predictors because the fish reacted to shallow quakes as well as dangerous ones that would call for an actual warning.
The groundhog may not be any more accurate than your local weatherman, but there's a cat in Rhode Island who's better at knowing when someone is going to die than some doctors. Oscar resides at a nursing home where, over the course of five years, he's correctly predicted 50 deaths. If Oscar curls up with a patient, staff knows to call the family. And this feline is firm in his opinions: He'll scratch at the door if he can't get in. In one case, nurses put him on a patient's bed, but he promptly left to sit with another resident. Oscar's pick passed away that evening.
Sure, predicting life and death is impressive, but what about something really important to people: sports. Paul, an octopus who lived at a German aquarium, correctly predicted the winner of eight athletic games, including the champs of the 2010 World Cup. He flagged his choice by selecting a mussel from one of two boxes decorated with the flags of the competing countries. Although he gained worldwide fame, some fans who didn't particularly care for his choices threatened to fry him up and serve him with sauce.
The life of an octopus is short, and Paul died just a few months after he stunned the world with his eerily correct predictions. But a sheep in New Zealand named Sonny Wool is already filling the void: He correctly predicted the winner of all his home team's matches in the 2011 Rugby World Cup. And like Paul, Sonny has found that being a psychic animal is a dangerous occupation — he was reportedly under 24-hour protection after receiving death threats over an incorrect prediction of a win for Ireland.
The psychic animal enterprise has also expanded to include politics. In 2010, a crocodile named Harry weighed in on the closest Australian election for prime minister in years. By choosing a chicken carcass decorated with a photo of the Labor Party's Julia Gillard, instead of one plastered with an image of her opponent, Harry correctly predicted Gillard's victory.
Finally, if you're wondering how the stock market is going to do, maybe you should turn to an animal. In a contest in South Korea, a parrot proved to be better than most humans at picking the stocks that would perform successfully. Her return on investment was 13.7 percent — better than all but two of the 10 human participants, who averaged a 4.6 percent loss.

Gin and tonic is one of my favorite cocktails, but our first gin drink is the simpler Gin Fizz – gin, soda water, and lime, all shook up with ice:
We had two gins on hand, Hendricks and Plymouth. I'm partial to gins with character, and am particularly partial to Uncle Val's. But, The 12 Bottle Bar recommended getting a dry gin, and so I went out and got a bottle of Plymouth to experiment with. Yay for an excuse to buy more gin! Redbeard and I decided we'd try Hendricks and Plymouth head to head, and so I mixed up a Gin Fizz with each. The verdict? There was definitely a difference, though not as dramatic as we'd predicted. To me, the Plymouth created a drink that tastes like summer – clean, crisp, with a clear lovely lime. The Hendricks was also very good, though – clearly dry gin is not strictly required for a good gin fizz. It was warmer to me; Redbeard characterized it as 'well-rounded'.

Houston, we have a problem: "Because of me they respect H-Town," Lil' Flip touts on I Need Mine, appointing himself sheriff of hip-hop's Wild Wild West. But he's nearly abandoned the syrupy, screwed and chopped stuff that made his home base famous. "Can't U Tell" (featuring Tennessee producer DJ Squeaky and " 'ho-ologist" MJG) is the trillist collabo on the album, and crunkish head-nodder "3, 2, 1 Go!," with Memphis's Three 6 Mafia, is the trillist track. But the Nate Dogg G-funk outtake "Take You There" just sounds outdated, and unlike Mike Jones's and Paul Wall's recent efforts, many of Flip's beats here are outsourced to nationally minded producers everybody and their moms are using right now (like Mannie Fresh and Scott Storch), giving Mine a more diverse soundscape but less local color.
Still, Lil' Flip will always be a dope-ass name, because the L-I-L isn't so much a throwaway prefix as a bona fide part of his moniker, underscoring his vociferous minimalism. As he says on "Ghetto Mindstate (Can't Get Away)," "Where I'm from/I only know one thing/How to get paid." He's working smart, not hard, to maintain.

'Frontline diplomacy'
Hosts, students share experiences
It's been more than two years since Henrico residents Jeff and Jessica Pilson welcomed a female VCU student from China into their home as part of a host program the university operates. To call the experience a positive one might be an understatement – especially to the family's three young children.
"My girls think she is part of the family," Jessica Pilson said. "Whenever they tell people how many people we have in the family, they say six."
The Pilsons are among several county families who participate as hosts for international students attending VCU and the University of Richmond. Though the time commitment varies by family, their overall experiences seem similarly positive.
"I was slightly leery, just not having any idea what we'd be getting into," recalled Pilson. "But it's been wonderful, and some of what makes it wonderful is her personality and her culture."
Henrico residents Dennis and Kay King have hosted a number of high school students through their connections with the YMCA of Greater Richmond and Rotary International, as well as several international UR students, in recent years. Serving as hosts has provided the couple with an opportunity to give back.
"We don't have children," King said, "but we have a lot to offer. We wanted to make a contribution to young people's lives. The students really like it. They like simple things like petting the dog, being a part of a family when they're way away from home, having an adult friend in the community."
Both the VCU and UR programs have a number of international students who are interested in spending time with, or living with, local host families but who currently can't be accommodated because of a dearth of participating hosts.
The majority of international students who attend college in the U.S. – more than 75 percent, according to a study cited by VCU Associate Director of International Student Recruitment Bob Wood – never set foot inside an American household during their time here. For that reason, host families who do welcome students into their homes can
play a significant role in the lives of those students, according to Wood.
"It's frontline diplomacy," he said.
Programs benefit students, hosts
Since Wood arrived at VCU in the early 1990s, he has worked to expand the services the university provides to its full-time international undergraduate and graduate students (who currently number about 1,400).
"Part of the reason an international student comes to the states to get an education and study is to experience America," he said, "and you're not just going to do that downtown on a 32,000-student campus."
Today, VCU operates five programs for international students, each with varying levels of commitment from local hosts.
The Host Family program is a residential program in which students live with their hosts for a period of time and pay rent at a rate agreeable to both parties. Some students stay with their hosts for just a few months, while others stay several years. (A handful of students participate currently, and there is significant interest from other students but a lack of local hosts, Wood said.)
In the Friendship Family program, students are paired with families to experience the variety of American life. They may attend meals at their hosts' homes, attend sporting events with them, go shopping or participate together in any number of other activities.
Through the Conversation Partner program, students meet for an hour each week with hosts to practice conversational English.
The International Coffee Hour program invites students, staff and community visitors to gather weekly to socialize in a casual setting.
And each year on major holidays, a number of local hosts invite international students to their homes as a way to give them a taste of a uniquely American holiday, since most students don't return to their homes during breaks.
"One of our families told us [after hosting a student for Thanksgiving dinner] that they enjoyed not having to hear Uncle Tom's same story that he'd told for the past 20 years," Wood joked.
Most of the VCU students who are interested in living with host families are Saudi Arabian males, Wood said.
"They have a very strong family orientation there. Many live in houses that are 15,000 or 20,000 square feet, but six families will live there with parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts – extended families," he said. "You grow up, get married, raise kids and all live there together. They really pride [themselves on] that extended family unit, and I hear from the students [when they arrive here] that they kind of feel isolated or lost. "
Pilson and her husband became interested in participating in VCU's program because they have a heart for missions, she said, but aren't able to leave their home to travel abroad now that they have a young family. She previously had taught in Thailand during a summer and learned of the VCU program because they attended the same church as
The student they were matched with fit in well almost immediately. Though many women in China don't drive, she learned while living with the Pilsons and, like all international students in the VCU program, was able to provide her own transportation to and from campus and around town.
"She did drive over some of my flowers at the front of my driveway when she was learning," Pilson recalled with a laugh. Living with the family has helped the young woman experience a broader range of American life, she said.
"If she hadn't lived with us, she would have pretty much immersed herself in her own culture," Pilson said. "All her friends here are Chinese, and she still spends all her time with them."
More than expected
The University of Richmond is home to 321 full-time international undergraduate and graduate students – about 100 of whom participate in some type of interaction with staff or alumni hosts, according to Krittika Onsanit of UR's Office of International Education. (The UR program is open only to hosts who work at, or graduated from, the university.)
Students don't live with their hosts but do see them regularly and visit their homes for meals or travel around the region to go shopping, dining, sightseeing or participate in other events and activities.
For the Kings, who have hosted a student from Great Britain and another from China through the UR program and who currently are hosting a recently graduated German couple through the YMCA, the benefits of being hosts are numerous.
"In meeting international students, you also meet their friends who are also international students," Kay King said. "On two particular nights at our house, we felt as if we had a United Nations meeting."
The Kings have taken students for trips on their sailboat and have visited other local attractions with them in years past, in addition to hosting birthday parties and other gatherings in their home.
"My impression is just how appreciative [students] are," she said. "They're very expressive about how they don't expect anything. They just expect to come to school [in the U.S.], and all these extras are just a lot more than what they expected.
"There are just so many benefits for everyone."
For VCU's Wood, a lasting impression of his school's program came after matching a student with a local family for a six-month period.
"He came to thank me every day for one month," Wood recalled. "He said, 'thank you for my family – I will come every day to thank you for my family.'"
For details about the international student programs offered by VCU and to learn how to participate, visit http://www.global.vcu.edu/students/connections/connected.html or call Bob Wood at (804) 828-0808. For details about the programs offered by UR and participation information, staff members or alumni should call (804) 287-6499.

Disney's 'Big Hero 6,' lovable robot Baymax delight
It may be time for Olaf to step down as our nation's reigning cartoon character. Big Hero 6, the latest animated feature from Disney, contains a challenger to the throne: Baymax (Scott Adsit), another lovably chubby white wonder, who will bring joy to children's hearts and invade every home in America inside a six-foot pile of Disney merchandise.
Big Hero 6 (based ever so slightly on a Marvel comic of the same name) is the story of Baymax – and also his closest companion Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter). And then also their four friends, all of whom join together to form the titular superhero team.
At first, though, it's only Hiro, a young boy and an engineering prodigy, who'd rather spend his time in underground robot fight clubs than do something productive with his gifts. > Read more.
Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

Hello fellow CAMRA members
It will soon be time for the 2014 Pig's Ear Beer and Cider Festival which takes place as
usual in early December at the Round Chapel in Hackney. Once again we are looking for
over 120 willing volunteers to take on the full range of jobs at the festival. Without you we
could not have the festival.
Here is a staffing form
which includes an explanation of job roles. PLEASE fill
in ALL the details on the form. It is important that we have this chance to check and
update our records. You can return it either as an email attachment or in the post.
We welcome all help. In particular we very much look for help in the setting up and taking
down period so do consider if you could be available. We are also looking at anyone who
might be interested in helping Team Tango with stewarding duties. Finally, there are a
couple of periods where we also need more volunteers. These are Friday evening (our
busiest time) and Saturday daytime. Therefore even if you cannot help on other days but
can on these then that would be very much appreciated.
If you haven't worked at a Beer Festival before, why not give it a go? Although working at
the festival is hard work, it can also be fun with the chance to engage with our many
visitors to the festival. Volunteers are allowed free beer (within reason) and also receive
food vouchers to use at the food concessions at the festival. You will get training for any
role you choose and there will be plenty of experienced people about.
Please think about volunteering, you will be made most welcome! We look forward to
hearing from you.

Stand for Philadelphia:
Ideas We Should Steal:
Tax credits in New York are fueling economic growth. Can that work here?
By Larry Platt
You've seen the commercials, voiced by Robert DeNiro, proclaiming that New York State is "open for business." A year ago, Governor Andrew Cuomo unveiled START-UP NY, a 10-year tax abatement offered to new businesses that relocate to, and partner with, one of the state's 64 universities. The exemption, which mostly targets high-tech companies, applies to property, sales and state income taxes—and even extends to employees, who will pay no state or local personal income taxes for five years. The program is in its infancy, but its first class of 12 businesses have already created 400 jobs and invested over $50 million in Buffalo, Rochester, Ithaca and New York City.
Would a "START-UP PHILLY" work Here? Philly isn't a state, but it can take a page from New York and offer bold inducements of its own through the local tax code. Currently, the Department of Commerce's Jump Start Philly program offers new businesses a two-year exemption from paying the Business Income and Receipts Tax, formerly known as the Business Privilege Tax. (Gross receipts are taxed at a rate of 0.1415% and net income at 6.43%). And the city has introduced StartUp PHL, a $6 million seed stage fund doled out in small increments to help fuel innovation.
But this is not truly groundbreaking. A two-year tax abatement on one tax, and $6 million in seed funding (New York's version invests $45 million) is not enough to lure startups here from traditionally lower-cost and less-regulated environments—or even to keep local entrepreneurs from jumping across City Line Avenue.
Your City Defined: The Clothespin (thē ˈklōz-ˈpin)
By Rosella LaFevre
The Clothespin is a steel sculpture by artist Claes Oldenburg that towers above The El stop at Centre Square at 1500 Market Street. Developer Jack Wolgin commissioned The Clothespin sculpture in May 1974 as part of the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority's Percent for Art program, which requires that at least one percent of total building construction costs toward the commissioning of original, specific-to-the-site artwork.
It was dedicated June 25, 1976. The Clothespin is made of Corten (or "weathering") steel, is 45 feet tall and weighs 10 tons. It's been praised by art critics for its velvety texture and weathered, warm reddish-brown color. The silvery steel "spring" part resembles the numerals 7 and 6, a nod to the United States Bicentennial year. "If you bang it, it makes a lovely sound," the artist, Oldenburg, told People magazine in 1976.
Can This Wayne Entrepreneur Save The NFL From Itself?
It's harder than ever to be a sports fan and socially conscious. Here's a way to return to the days when watching a game felt wholesome.
By Larry Platt
He doesn't look like the guy who can save Roger Goodell's job. He looks more like an aging hipster, with his goatee and old-school sneakers. But, as Jay Coen-Gilbert, 48, sits outside Teresa's café in Wayne, pulling on a beer, the words come fast, like the intense true believer he is: "Sports teams punch above their weight class," he says. "You get just one to make a stand for progressivism and the impact can be enormous."
Coen-Gilbert knows impact. His Wayne-based nonprofit B Lab has jumpstarted the international "B Corp" movement. B Lab's insignia—the B stands for Benefit—confers a type of Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval when it comes to social responsibility for over 1,000 companies, including well-known brands such as Patagonia and Revolution Foods. B Lab has created a new type of company, the B Corp, which extends members' fiduciary responsibility beyond just shareholders, to stakeholders such as employees, the environment and the surrounding community.
Now, as the NFL tries to dodge PR storms of its own making in the Ray Rice and Adrian Petersen cases, Coen-Gilbert and I are commiserating on just how hard it is to be a sports fan with a social conscience these days—you sit down to watch a football game and it feels like you're rooting for Big Tobacco. It's all well and good that the NFL has named three domestic violence experts—all women—as senior advisers and that, in the aftermath of Donald Sterling's racist comments, the NBA is being advised by Dr. Richard Lapchick of the University of Central Florida's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport. But don't these moves smack of after-the-fact PR moves? I'm still waiting for the answer to the most pressing question: Moving forward, how do we find out if our sports teams—beneficiaries of antitrust exemptions and taxpayer subsidies for their palatial stadia—actually share our values?
It's hard to be a sports fan with a social conscience. You sit down to watch an NFL game and it's like you're rooting for Big Tobacco.
That's the question that drove the founding of B Lab eight years ago. "Many companies say they're socially responsible," says Coen-Gilbert, who was one of the founders of AND1, the groundbreaking basketball apparel company that had $250 million in sales at its peak and appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 2005. "But how do you know if that's just marketing? A company could be in a LEED certified building, but if they're not paying their employees a living wage, are they really socially responsible?"
Citizen of the Week: Lisa Miccolis
Why a coffee shop owner is hiring and mentoring those who have aged out of the foster care system.
By Roxanne Patel Shepelavy
Six years ago, when Lisa Miccolis took a trip to South Africa, she expected to experience a cultural awakening of sorts. She just never thought the trip would open her eyes to a cultural divide right here in Philadelphia.
During her travels, Miccolis befriended Ephraim, a teenage boy at an orphanage who had left his home in Zimbabwe at 14 for a better education in South Africa. When he was 18, two things happened: South Africa revoked Ephraim's refugee status, and he aged out of the orphanage. Already back home, Miccolis learned through email with him about his struggles to finish high school, to find a place to sleep, to stay in a country where he could be safe and successful. It was heart-wrenching—especially when Miccolis realized that she could do little to help Ephraim or others like him in South Africa. "I'm not from there, and have no support there, and don't know how the system works," she says. "My ability to enact some change in South Africa was limited. There wasn't much point in trying to make a change there."
Each year, 250 youth age out of Philly's foster care system. Ninety-five percent have no source of income; one in three live below the poverty line; forty percent experience homelessness. "It is easier for a young man who has a drug and alcohol problem to get services," says Miccolis.
Instead, Miccolis founded The Monkey & The Elephant to serve a similar population right here in Philadelphia: Each year, 250 youth age out of the foster care system in Philly with little or no support. Ninety-five percent have no source of income; one in three live below the poverty line; forty percent experience homelessness. Unsurprisingly, one in four end up incarcerated within two years. "There is nothing for these guys," say Miccolis. "It is easier for a young man who has a drug and alcohol problem to get services, than for a young man who doesn't." Continue reading
Ideas We Should Steal: Ending Homelessness
Utah is poised to eliminate the state's homelessness problem through a simple, yet radical, approach: Give everyone on the streets a free apartment with no strings attached.
By Roxanne Patel Shepelavy
Utah's Housing First program has already taken 2000 people off the streets and into state-financed housing, reducing its homeless population by 74 percent since 2005. Along with the apartment, the formerly homeless receive visits from a social worker. Combined, Utah estimates the $11,000 cost per person is nearly $6,000 less than the average spent every year on homelessness-related hospital and jail visits.
Would it work here? Three different organizations in Philadelphia already provide Housing First-type services to the city's chronically homeless. The largest, Pathways to Housing , currently has 400 residents in apartments throughout the city, including 150 veterans. They do not have to get clean or sober; take mental health medications; or even get a job. They are required only to contribute 30 percent of their income (if they have it) to rent, and to meet with a team of social service workers twice a month. The goal is not necessarily to wean them from Pathways. It's simply to keep them safe and healthy, and—hopefully—part of a community. "We want to make sure they stay housed; that they're eating; bathing occasionally; and getting medical attention," says Executive Director Chris Sirimiglia. "When those basic needs are met, they are more able to move towards further help."
Pathways opened six years ago, and has been successful in the same way touted by Utah. Eighty-nine percent of its clients are still indoors. And it is cost-effective: A 2011 study found that each homeless person placed in a Pathways house saved the city more than $4,000 a year.
Sirimiglia says Pathways plans to house another 30 people this year. But she says Housing First does not work for everyone. Some people need the support of a group home, or the services that go with a mental health facility in order to survive. Thirty-year-old ProjectHOME, for instance, operates some 620 units in clean and sober homes, recovery houses and subsidized mixed-use facilities throughout the city.
"It's important to have a variety of ways to solve this problem," says Laura Weinbaum, Executive Vice President of Public Affairs and Strategic Initiatives at ProjectHOME. "For some people, having your own thing is what they need. For others, they need the community, and the accountability."
Philadelphia is a national model for the way city agencies and nonprofits keep track of the city's homeless population. Advocates know the names, locations and issues facing some 600 chronically homeless men and women. They are outside every night, building relationships with them and prioritizing them by greatest need. Weinbaum says she can envision a day when all those people are inside, in a form of housing that's best for them.
But that will not necessarily solve the problem. "We could look at our list and say that we've housed all those people and 'eliminated homelessness,'" she says. "But then we'll go outside and see more homeless. More people end up out on the streets all the time."

An innovative program at Rutgers University is turning underprivileged inner-city kids into college scholars. It is hard; it is expensive; and it is a model other urban universities could follow.
by Roxanne Patel Shepelavy
In 2007, when the Rev. William Howard was head of Rutgers University's Board of Governors, he noticed a disturbing trend: That year, only 10 students from Camden public schools were enrolled at Rutgers, with similar numbers in the two other Jersey cities that host a campus.This didn't sit right with Howard and the other governors, who, at a time when the divide between the haves and have-nots is ever widening, could envision their university as an oasis of privilege on an otherwise impoverished landscape. The day was fast approaching when not one local student was enrolled. None of them wanted that to happen.
Camden, New Brunswick and Newark—where Rutgers has its main campuses—have among the state's highest poverty rates and, predictably, the lowest graduation rates: Camden, 53 percent; New Brunswick, 61 percent; and Newark 67 percent. For many—if not most—students in these cities' battered public schools, college was inconceivable. But not, as Rutgers proved, impossible.
Future Scholars is a model for other city universities, like Penn or Drexel, that also straddle struggling communities with low-performing schools.
In 2008, the university launched Rutgers Future Scholars with a clear goal: To turn struggling urban students into capable collegians. Under program director Aramis Gutierrez, Future Scholars selected 50 seventh-graders each from Camden, New Brunswick, Newark and Piscataway. (The New Brunswick campus encompasses nearby Piscataway.) All were from a population least likely to get college degrees: They lived at or near the poverty line, and would be the first in their families to finish college. But they all showed some promise—excellent students who lacked confidence, perhaps, or those who were student leaders but didn't have great grades. Over the next five years, Future Scholars provided tutoring throughout the school year; on-campus summer programming; mentoring; internships; and social services, when needed. In 2013, 98 percent of the Rutgers Future Scholars graduated from high school—and 97 percent went to college. Currently, 98 students from the first Scholars group are enrolled at Rutgers, which waives their $13,000 tuition; another 100 from the second class joined them this fall. There are now 1,400 New Jersey students from seventh graders to college sophomores in the program.
"Institutions of higher education are only as good as the communities we call home," says Gutierrez. "Rutgers Future Scholars is an example of how higher ed and K-12 can partner to best serve all interests. It is an investment in communities, people and the future."
Future Scholars proves that it is possible to change the trajectory for underprivileged and underserved urban students, whether in Newark or Philadelphia. As such, it seems to offer a model for other city universities, like Penn or Drexel, that also straddle struggling communities with low-performing schools. But it also makes clear the challenges that go along with such an effort. Rutgers developed Future Scholars with best practices from college access programs across the country, and in partnership with its school districts. Its main focus from the start was creating students who were academically rigorous enough to graduate high school and succeed in college. But it was the non-academic parts of their lives that more often overwhelmed the students. Gutierrez had grown up in inner city Trenton, where he was also a teacher and school counselor for several years. He thought he knew the challenges facing his young students. But he couldn't anticipate the depth, or frequency, of their needs.
"I might have gone astray without Future Scholars," says one student. "I was making bad decisions. But then I'd get a call from someone at Rutgers, and they'd set me straight. I needed that to get through."
Karen Nicolas joined the first Scholars class in New Brunswick, when she was a studious seventh-grader with good grades and good discipline. It seemed like nothing would stop her from becoming the first in her family to go to college. But she says 9th and 10th grades were a struggle. Her parents were getting divorced; she felt torn between them, and found herself drifting in school and getting into the sort of trouble she had always avoided. Fortunately, she had Future Scholars to keep her on track. Continue reading
Are We Headed For A Coronation?
How the [alleged!] investigation of Chaka Fattah could disrupt the 2015 mayoral race.
By Larry Platt
The election to be mayor of the fifth largest city in America is (effectively) seven months away. In the past, candidates would have by now already prostrated themselves before donors and, with much populist fanfare, made public announcements meant to convey that here is not just another political insider. After all, the last time the mayor's office was up for grabs, then-councilman Michael Nutter dramatically quit his legislative post and announced his intentions—nearly a year before the election.
Yet this time around, we have two announced candidates—Terry Gillen and Ken Trujillo—and a slew of others possibilities, all deep in thought. Weighing things. What gives? Why so many Hamlets on Broad Street?
Partly, everyone is waiting to see what Council President Darrell Clarke does. If he runs, it could clear a good part of the field; some candidates, like controller Alan Butkovitz, have already said that if Clarke gets in, they won't. But if Clarke runs, he would have to give up his Council seat and all the power he's accrued since taking the reins of Council in 2012—unlikely.
But waiting on Darrell doesn't fully explain our current state of freeze-frame. So what does? "Chaka has paralyzed the race," one potential mayoral aspirant told me.
Chaka, of course, is Congressman Fattah, who looks to be under federal investigation—for allegedly concocting an elaborate scheme to bypass campaign finance laws when he ran for mayor as the presumptive frontrunner in 2007. Continue reading
Citizen of the Week: Danielle Mancinelli
A teacher takes it upon herself to fill a school's empty library.
By Roxanne Patel Shepelavy
Danielle Mancinelli knew there would be many challenges to her new job as a reading specialist at Francis D. Pastorius Elementary last year. The Germantown school was one of the lowest performing in the district, with many students reading a full three years behind their grade level.
But Mancinelli was unprepared for what she saw when she walked in to the school's library for the first time last August: Nothing."The library was this gorgeous space with beautiful wooden shelves," says Mancinelli. "But they were all empty. I couldn't believe it: Where were the books?"
The School District made Pastorius a Renaissance school last year, turning over the reins of the troubled elementary to Mastery Charter, which took over the building in August 2013. First, though, the District stripped its library, sending the books to District-run schools elsewhere in the city. (The District contends that it only does this when charter companies request it; Mastery officials say they did not ask for the books' removal.) Which means that Mancinelli has to teach reading to her students without books that her students can take home. This has real consequences: Mancinelli recently asked her 5th graders to read for 30 minutes at home and then write about what they read. Ten of the students told her later they had no books at home with which to complete the assignment.
Mancinelli found a beautiful library—with empty bookshelves. She decided to fill them herself. "Research shows that at least 20 minutes of reading a night significantly helps to improve your reading skills," she says. "Not having a library makes my job much harder.
Mancinelli spent her undergraduate years at Temple volunteering for Treehouse Books, a literacy program in North Philadelphia. Through Teach For America after graduation, she taught 2nd grade in New Orleans for two years. There, she realized that reading is everything: "If you're not strong in reading, you struggle in every other subject," she says. "You can't even do math, because you can't answer word problems."

Did Gov. Corbett Miss His Chance For An October Surprise?
Months ago, Center City philanthropist and entrepreneur Richard Vague put an intriguing idea on the table: What if Pennsylvania could cure cancer?
By Larry Platt
The possibility of curing cancer is closer than ever—thanks in part to a University of Pennsylvania researcher. An October 15 article in The New York Times touted the results of Dr. Carl June's groundbreaking study: Thirty leukemia patients who were weeks from death had been treated with June's T-cell therapy, in which the patient's cells are genetically modified so his or her own immune system can fight the disease. Six months later, 23 of those who had been facing certain death were still alive—and an astonishing 19 had gone into complete remission.
Vague has contributed over $5 million in support of Dr. June's groundbreaking research at Penn. He challenged Gov. Corbett to match it.
Center City philanthropist and entrepreneur Richard Vague endows June's chair at Penn and has donated more than $5 million over the last three years to spur the doctor's cutting-edge work. Buoyed by June's results, Vague sat down early last spring with Governor Tom Corbett, as well as, in separate meetings, Secretary of Health Michael Wolf and Lieutenant Governor Jim Cawley. He pitched a big idea: The state of Pennsylvania could become a world leader in curing cancer. "They very well may have found the cure for leukemia at Penn Medicine," Vague, a courtly Texas transplant and a fixture on Rittenhouse Square, told the politicians. "And now they're extending that breakthrough in new trials to brain cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer. It's something that could be a gift to the world, but it could also be a jobs revolution in southeastern PA."
Vague suggested that Corbett match his own contribution of $5 million. Not only would this advance the cause of eradicating cancer, it would be a brilliant PR move for Corbett, who was facing a challenging reelection: A press conference in which the Governor boldly proclaims the Keystone state as front and center in trying to cure cancer could be the modern-day equivalent of John Kennedy's challenge to go to the moon within 10 years. Or, more to the point, it could echo Richard Nixon's popular 1971 call to wage a war on cancer. "The same kind of concentrated effort that split the atom and took man to the moon should be turned toward conquering this dread disease," Nixon said upon signing the National Cancer Act.
"This is an iconic breakthrough," Vague says of the cancer research at Penn. "It can be a gift to the world and a jobs revolution in southeastern PA."
We're still waiting for that announcement—and the ensuing plaudits (maybe even votes?) that would have followed. "The governor(?) says it's a powerful idea," says Vague. "Everyone's been very receptive."
So why the delay? Continue reading

TUESDAY, Sept. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Smoking may be associated with a greater risk of atrial arrhythmia recurrence in women following cardioversion, and a higher risk of death in men, according to research published in the Sept. 1 issue of the American Journal of Cardiology.
Masayoshi Kinoshita, M.D., of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and colleagues analyzed data from 1,424 patients undergoing cardioversion for atrial flutter over a six-year period. The mean age was 70 years, and 64 percent of the subjects were men.
Among women, the researchers found that current smokers were more likely to have recurrent atrial arrhythmia (hazard ratio, 1.71). Women's arrhythmia recurrence rate at one year was 58 percent in nonsmokers and 76 percent in current smokers. This association wasn't seen in male smokers. However, among men, current smokers had a higher risk of death after cardioversion (hazard ratio, 1.93).
"Several factors could account for the disparate results we found among men and women. First, an association between atrial arrhythmia recurrence and smoking might not have been seen in men because the men who smoked were more likely to die; thus, their death might have precluded documented atrial arrhythmia recurrence. Also, the men in our patient group were more likely than women to have coronary artery disease and, thus, they were at a greater risk of recurrent infarction and ventricular arrhythmias in association with cigarette use," the authors write.

Young Money's Nicki Minaj has elaborated on her issues with Lil Kim and how she believes the Queen Bee has a penchant for picking fights.
Speaking with radio host Angie Martinez recently, Minaj expressed her true feelings toward Kim.
"It's one of those moments where you say, 'don't play with me,' because I respect you, I love you, I've said it in every interview time and time again, and if that's not good enough with you mama, then it's something deep rooted in you. Something is bothering you inside. That's your insecurity bothering you. [If] it's not Nicki Minaj, it would have been any girl that started poppin'. She picked a fight with Foxy [Brown], then she picked a fight with Eve, then she picked a fight with Remy [Ma], then it was Ms. [Voletta] Wallace, then it was Nicki Minaj. Everytime you in the news is 'cause you gettin' at somebody. Where's your music? Put your music out. When I see your name on Billboard, that's when I'll respond to you. Other than that, goodbye." (Rap-Up)
Minaj also revealed details of private conversation with Kim, which led her to believe they were on good terms.
"It hurt my feelings because I remember when I saw her on the tour with Wayne and I ran into Foxy and Foxy said, 'Why you keep giving props to Kim? She don't like you.' She was like, 'The girl be dissing you in conversation.' And I'm so much of a diehard and I was like, 'Until I hear her say something about me, I'm gonna continue paying my respect to her in my interviews,' and that's what I did. So when I saw her at Wayne's concert, she performed with Keyshia [Cole], she came into our dressing room like she might use the bathroom and stuff and I stopped her. I was like, 'I wanna make sure everything is cool with us because I'm a fan first. Is everything good?' [In Kim's voice], 'Yeah everything good, we good.' Hugs and kisses. 'Can I take a picture with you? I love you.' This is somebody that I looked at highly. We took a picture, everything was good." (Rap-Up)
Within the same interview, it was reported that Minaj admitted that her much-discussed "Roman's Revenge" diss track was targeted at Kim.
It looks like listeners were right all along. While interviewing with Angie Martinez during Hot 97's VIP Lounge earlier today (November 19), Nicki Minaj finally admitted the target for her collaboration with Eminem, "Roman's Revenge" is in fact Lil' Kim. "You gotta be careful when you pick fights," Minaj said, referring to the Queen Bee. "That's what I've learned in this business. I think people mistake me for a real Barbie and forget where I'm from. They forget where I'm from. And if I have to revert back, I can and I will." (XXL Mag)
Earlier this month, Kim performed in Minaj's hometown, Queens, New York, and called out the Harajuku Barbie.
"I got more love for Queens than this b*tch do," Kim said at a Queens, New York concert. "I will erase this b*tch's social security number. First of all I don't even need a record right now and I'd kill that b*tch with my old sh*t. I'll kill that b*tch with my old sh*t…Right now I'm in Queens, repping, because I got love for all the boroughs. Y'all see me in places where y'all be like, 'How the f*ck she there?' I touch my people — like I said, I got a catalogue, this catalogue p*ssy. I'll kill this b*tch with my old sh*t. My records ain't just enter the charts, they made history. What the f*ck is this bullsh*t, this sh*t come and go. What the f*ck, is you kidding me? … We gonna get back to partying, I just want to let y'all know, right, I don't ever let nothing take me off my grind…" (Real Talk NY)

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at aap3 in May 2011.Interview Details
I was called by aap3 directly as they are also a recruitment agency. Had an initial telephone conversation with the recruiter who posted me a job spec via email. I went back to him accepting the role and proceeded to the next step which was a face to face interview.
During the face to face, I was given a network troubleshooting scenario of an OSPF network, this lasted 20 mins. Then I had a interview with the hiring manager and a member from HR. Questions were not difficult and they both were very nice.
I was called a few days later by the recruiter informing me I wasn't being hired for the role I interviewed for, but the manager thought I would be a great fit for another role within their company and I would be contracted to work directly for Cisco. Naturally I jumped and asked to see a spec. Another face to face meeting was setup with the same manager and this time it was at the Cisco office. The meeting was very informal, we had a chat on the balcony where I was explained the role. I was offered the job there and then and I accepted.

Found August 03, 2012 on Larry Brown Sports:
PLAYERS: Gabby Douglas
Gabby Douglas went from being a relatively unknown gymnast to being one of the most recognizable female athletes in the country in a matter of months. The 16-year-old became the first woman to win gold in the individual all-around and team competition in the same Olympics, and she's already picking up endorsement deals. Kellogg's announced that they would be putting the gold-medal winner on Corn Flakes boxes in the fall. This is the second major endorsement deal for Douglas, who signed with Procter & Gamble after the Olympic Trials. Sports business reporter Darren Rovell says a gymnastics all-around gold medal winner generally earns around $2 million a year in endorsements, so Douglas should be financial set for the rest of her life. Below is an up-close look at the Gabby Douglas Corn Flakes box: You'll be seeing Douglas many more places other than the cereal aisle at the store in the near future.

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Sets Ratings Record, Defeats Republican National Conventionby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Here's an idea: perhaps Honey Boo Boo should have spoken at the Republican National Convention.
No way she'd do a worse job than Clint Eastwood.
Ratings for Here Comes Honey Boo Boo on TLC reached a series high on Wednesday, increasing a whopping 30 percent from the previous edition's record-setter, as three million households tuned in to watch Honey Boo Boo and her family go to a waterpark.
Based on the initial Nielson report, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo earned a a 1.3 rating among adults 18-49, narrowly edging coverage of the RNC on Fox News: it could only muster a 1.2 in that same time period.
What makes her show so popular, aside from the fact that it rarely mentions boring issues such as tax rates and avoids the controversy of "legitimate rape?" Said June Shannon to Ryan Seacrest:
"Our fan base tells us that when they have a bad day they can be able to watch our show and be able to get a good laugh; I honestly laugh at the show too because it is kind of funny, because we know we have fun filming it. It's just all about having fun making memories."
I Love this show. I really don't know why, but it makes me laugh. Why does everyone have to be so negative. If you don't like it, TURN THE TV!! June you go girl!!
So sick of disgusting-acting fat folks on tv. Ugh, won't watch again. Made me want to puke (these folks would be gross even if not so enormous).
I've never watched the Honey Boo Boo show. However, my feeling for any and all shows is that if you don't like it, don't watch it...period.
no wonder we keep getting people in office who don't care about anyone and nobody knows anything about politics- the American people are all sitting around at home stuffing their complacent faces watching an obese, white trash family humiliate themselves for the viewer's amusement. i am so done
Watching fatties go to a water park? This is entertainment? I personally like to avoid going to water parks for this reason. You want to laugh? You want to have fun and grow closer to your family? Get off the fucking couch and go to the park, an art festival, the library. Doing almost anything else would be a better use of your time. You only get one life and do you really want to waste your precious little time on this planet watching this mind numbing crap? Even for one minute!!!!
@Blak Kat they have sub tiltes you know. Just learn to read. On another note..... .This show is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!
They shoulda called the show, "Keeping up with the honey boo boo's".
Stfu with the negative comments it's getting real old it's soo obvious that you watch the show or you wouldn't know what it's about. All this bullshit talkin is why people r tunning in 2 c what the big fuss is so you're actually helping her sucess by giving an opinion cuz you make her relevant dumbasses. Btw there's more 2 this countries moral decline than little boo. If u don't like her, don't watch her but u probably do, you in the privacy of ur home watch this show but aint got the balls to admit it. The ratings r getting higher 4 a reason. The more u talk about her the more popular she becomes as a result whether its good or bad. Just like kim kardashian.
That's disgraceful!! TLC used to have educational shows (the learning Channel); now the programmIng caters to the stupidity and baseless desires of Americans... That is sad...

Plz, half the reason i bought l4d2 was for this mod. I'm really looking forward towards trying this.
3 comments by Av3ris on Apr 8th, 2014
The Chernobyl-Team is proud of some very productive months since the last update, and so it's time again to share some parts of our work with you guys.
After tying some loose ends, progress is really coming to a late stage on every aspect of the mod. In addition we've done internal playtests to verify the quality of the overall gameplay experience.

It's safe to say there is still much fine-tuning to be done, and we are eager to concentrate on that from now on. For that purpose we are still searching for 3d-Designers, you'll never get enough custom models, right? So if you think you are skilled enough and can take part in this great project, you might consider applying for one of these positions.
But whatever your abilities are, if you think you can be an enrichment for the project, please contact us at av3ris[at]chernobyl-l4d2.com and don't forget to attach some of your past work.
Plz, half the reason i bought l4d2 was for this mod. I'm really looking forward towards trying this.
Anyway....any update soon ?
Done ;)
You could also release a demo or a beta so we could see your progress :)
A screenshot every now and then would be nice, even if it's of nothing really new.
Please don't let this project die. It looks really promising :) Keep up the good work!
No worries, it is the end of the holiday season remember. We've been swamped with real life for the past few weeks haha.
we're constantly in the works, just going a bit slower with most members back in school again.
The fact that you responded to a comment is a relief. The project's still alive... I'm curious to see your final product. :D
Great! Keep going guys! Your work is just AWESOME !!!
