Jerusalem (Jun. 16)
Operating ahead of schedule, the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine today began its work here by hearing representatives of the Palestine Government, who submitted a voluminous file of facts and figures on the situation in this country.
The committee heard the official representatives under a virtual ultimatum from the government, which said that it would submit its information at a closed session or not at all. The government's stand was attacked by the press and the Jewish Agency, the latter body protesting the failure of the committee to have an Agency representative present when the government was heard.
The Agency will submit its memoranda tomorrow at what it expects will be an open meeting, in accordance with its request. The basis of the Agency's presentation will be a compilation of the oral and written testimony given last year before the Anglo-American inquiry committee.
The government's refusal to appear at an open hearing was revealed by Judge Emil Sandstroem, chairman of the committee, at his first press conference. More than 50 reporters, representing the press of the world, asked repeatedly why a session at which objective facts were to be presented need be held in camera. Sandstroem replied that the Palestine Government had so requested.
Asked further why the committee had acceeded to the request, the chairman replied–obviously with some embarrassment–that the Palestine Government refused to submit the material otherwise. When one correspondent asked "to what extent will the Palestine Government determine the procedure of the committee," Sandstroem replied with a touch of asperity that "the Palestine Government is not governing the activities of this committee."
Questioned concerning the Arab boycott, to which he referred obliquely during a brief nation-wide broadcast pledging that the committee would examine the Palestine question with an open mind, Sandstroem said that the boycott would not stop the probers from visiting Arab villages.
The Arab strike today to voice their disapproval of the committee passed without incident. A message from the ex-Mufti of Jerusalem, read in all mosques, called on the country's Arabs to close their ranks and "tenaciously resist all infringements on your rights."
Before the committee held its first meeting in the YMCA building, each delegate and members of the secretariat were subjected to a thorough security check. The Yugoslav delegate Zonstanti Simitch has not yet arrived, and he was represented by ?r. Jhose Brilez, the alternate Yugoslav delegate. The committee announced that July 5 had been set as the deadline for the submission of written statements by organizations and individuals.
David Remez, chairman of the Jewish National Council, speaking to a plenary session of the Council today, said that the testimony to be given to the committee by the Council would be identical with that to be submitted by the Jewish Agency, and would show that the historical connection between the Jewish people and Palestine had not been broken through the centuries.
A delegation of Sephardic Jews will testify on the distressing position of Jews residing in Arab countries, he added. Remez welcomed the committee, and said that it would find that Jewish achievements here had also benefitted the Arabs.

Refresh your face without starting from scratch. These tricks from beauty experts will help you look pretty and put-together in mere minutes.
THE PROBLEM: Lackluster skin.
THE BOOST: Use tinted moisturizer and cream blush — right over whatever makeup you're wearing — to make skin glow. Try Olay Definity Color Recapture ($25 at drug stores). Then blend a pink or peach cream blush onto cheeks. Consider Stila Convertible Color in Peony ($25, stilacosmetics.com).
THE PROBLEM: Tired eyes.
THE BOOST: Wake them up with an illuminating shadow and a mascara refresher. Use a concealer under the eyes if needed. Next, sweep a sheer, gold-flecked powder over lids and on the inner corners. Try Lancôme Color Design Eye Shadow in Filigree ($16.50, lancome-usa.com). Also brush on one of the new mascara emulsifiers to rewet and smoot0h the mascara you applied in the morning. Our pick: Tarte Rejuvelash Natural Declumping Lash Exhilarator, $16, sephora.com.
THE PROBLEM: Blah-looking lips.
THE BOOST: Apply a berry-colored stain. It requires less precision than dark lipstick (just use a finger), and it won't rub off. A rosy shade, like Becca Beach Tint in Watermelon ($25, beccacosmetics.com), flatters all complexions. Top with gloss for extra shine.

Justin Bieber complained that he felt "disrespected" by fans while waiting for girlfriend Selena Gomez.
The Never Say Never hitmaker was waiting for the Disney star at Toronto airport on June 15 when some of his devotees approached asking for autographs, prompting the 18-year-old star to complain at their impatience.
In a video posted on website HollywoodLife.com, he tells waiting fans: "Do I not have any right as a human being to wait for my own girlfriend? Why do you have to be so impatient?"
After one fan points out they have waited all day, he responded: "I've been here waiting for my girlfriend. I'm still a human being, I have a right to wait for my own girlfriend.
"You're not being very respectful at all. I feel very disrespected with all you guys waiting. You say you're really my fans, but then why are you doing this. I've had a long day, I flew in. I don't have to be nicer about it. You guys are in my face." - Bang Showbiz

I am a 26 year old African American Female with one 4 year old daughter. Should I Get a Tummy Tuck or Vaser Lipo?
Doctor Answers 9
Liposuction vs Tummy Tuck
Liposuction by any means will not correct loose skin. For this you need a Tummy Tuck. However, you have two reasons to delay this surgery. First, you should lose the weight, preferably to a BMI of 25 or less. Secondly, you should decide not to have any other children or wait until you have finished your family. If you become pregnant after Tummy Tuck, you will stretch the skin back out.
A Tummy Tuck Would Be Better To Achieve Your Goals
However, I would recommend waiting until you were sure that you no longer want another child, as the results of a tummy tuck would be negatively affected by pregnancy.

After viewing your photos, you are not a candidated for liposuction alone. To achieve a resonable result
You would need the redundant skin removed, the rectus muscle tightened, and some liposuction in these areas. A more detailed explanation would be given during an office visit. Good luck to you.
You might also like...
Thanks for the photos. Your best option is a LipoAbdominoplasty with Diastasis Repair. It appears from your photos that you have loose hanging skin, a protuberant abdomen and significant excess fat. Lipolysis alone will not correct the loose skin and protuberant abdomen.
Should I Get a Tummy Tuck or Vaser Lipo?
You will be disappointed with liposuction alone regardless of the technology.
An abdominoplasty with liposuction will give you the best result.
Get to a weight you think you will be able to maintain without too much trouble. Then find a competent and caring plastic surgeon to help you with this.
I expect you will get a very nice result.
Good luck!

Lipo vs TT
I also agree that your best results would be from a TT with some lipo around the crest as well-obviously being near your ideal body weight will produce the best results long term-BMI is a good measurement
Tummy Tuck vs Vaser Lipo
I tend to agree with both Drs. Rosenblatt and Baxter. I definitely feel that you will obtain your best result with an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck. I think that you will also get a better result if you are at or near your ideal body weight; even a weight loss back to 154pounds will be helpful.
VASER Lipo will not produce the same results as tummy tuck
Liposuction, whether with VASER, laser (for example Smart Lipo) or anything else will not produce the same amount of skin tightening as a tummy tuck. These technologies can improve skin tone a little bit, but judging from the pictures a lipo procedure will be disappointing. On the other hand, if you have the abdominoplasty now and then get pregnant it will undo some of the results. Best to wait and do the right operation.
Try weight loss first.
This is a 2 stage procedure, first loose weight and get down at least 20 lbs then a tummy tuck might be appropriate. Look at a BMI scale and get below 30 -- preferably around 25 and then think of a tummy tuck.

San Bernardino County and Riverside County
KIRK VERNON, a resident of Upland over thirty years, coming to
manhood here, Thomas Kirk Vernon is an orange grower of practical
experience and of more than usual success, is a citizen who takes a
practical view and yet has fine ideals about community affairs, and he
not only enjoys that esteem paid to a prosperous business man but also
exercises his wholesome influence in behalf of better schools and better
conditions generally in his community.
Mr. Vernon was born at
Wellington, Ohio, November 28, 1874, son of James and Ida (Kirk) Vernon.
His father was a minister of the Christian Church. Thomas Kirk Vernon
when one year of age went to live with his grandfather, Thomas Kirk. His
grandparents came to California in 1889, when Thomas was fifteen years
of age. They settled at North Ontario, now Upland, where Thomas Kirk
bought twenty acres of land on Fifteenth Street and Euclid Avenue.
Thomas Kirk died here in 1892, but his widow is still living with her
grandson and in her vigor belies her age. She was born in Wellington,
Ohio, ninety-five years ago.
Thomas Kirk Vernon finished
his education in the Eighteenth Street School at Upland. He had only the
advantages of the common schools, but reading and practical experience
fitted him well for the duties and responsibilities of life. Almost ever
since coming to California he had been identified with orange growing,
and he knows that business from the standpoint of one who has worked in
every department and has developed groves from wild land to prosperous
Mr. Vernon married at the
age of twenty-one and then bought ten acres on San Antonio Avenue and
Sixteenth Street. This was wild land and very stony, and he did all the
work of clearing and removing the rock and then prepared it for setting
out to citrus orchard. This was the beginning of his career as an orange
grower, and since then he has cleared a large amount of other land. He
personally supervised and performed much of the labor of developing his
home place of ten acres on Sixteenth Street between San Antonio and
Euclid avenues. He now has thirty acres of orange groves. His maximum
production for one season from this thirty acres was nineteen thousand
Mr. Vernon married Miss
Emma Palis, of Henderson, Kentucky, and member of an old Kentucky
family. She was born in Henderson, Kentucky, October 8, 1874, and was
educated in the public schools and is a high school graduate. To their
marriage were born two children: William Vernon, born December 1, 1900,
at Upland, graduated from the Chaffey Union High School, spent one year
in Pomona College^ and is now in his third year in the Colorado School
of Mines at Golden, preparing for a professional career as a
mineralogist. During the World War he was a member of the Students' Army
Training Corps. The second child, Ida Vernon, was born May 7, 1910, and
is in the seventh grade of the grammar school at Upland.
Aside from his business Mr. Vernon has had an active part in the civic affairs of Upland since the town was incorporated. He was made first secretary of the townsite, a member of the first City Council, serving six years, and was mayor and chairman of the board three terms. He is now a member of the grammar school board and for eight years was a road overseer in San Bernardino County, and was superintendent of the construction of the Mountain Avenue Road. He is a stockholder and treasurer of the Camp Baldy Company, a popular mountain resort in San Antonio Canon. Mr. Vernon and family are members of the Presbyterian Church. He is a stockholder in both of Upland's banks.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - The Notre Dame cross country program is set to renew a 30-plus year tradition on Friday, as the Irish play host the 32nd annual National Catholic Championships at the Notre Dame Cross Country Course.
The women's 5K-championship race will begin at 4:15 p.m. ET, with the men's five-mile championship race slated for 5 p.m. A JV race will be run prior to both championship races at 3:30 p.m.
A staple since 1980, the men's race welcomes 31 teams in addition to the Irish for this year's race. Notre Dame has won the race a record 21 times, including 19 of the last 24 years. Fifteen Irish men have won the individual race.
The women's race began in 1984 with Notre Dame claiming victory 17 times, with 16 individual crowns. This year, 32 teams in addition to the Irish will compete for the title. Last year, sophomore Meg Ryan won the race as a freshman.
A total of 823 runners will run around the Notre Dame course this year.
The Irish are coming off a pair of second place finishes two weeks ago at the Valparaiso Crusader Invitational. Junior Jessica Rydberg claimed second place in the women's race, while sophomore transfer Patrick Lesiewicz finished third in the men's race.

He instills fear in those that are up to no good and has found thousands of dollars worth of contraband that might have gone undiscovered. He leads the pack, literally, and he does all this without saying a single word.
|Sergeant Wayne Conrad and his K-9 Caesar
In October 2008, CDCR had four narcotic-detection dogs, two assigned to the California Training Facility in Soledad and the other two assigned to California State Prison, Solano.
More and more cell phones were making their way into the hands of inmates and threatening the safety of staff, other inmates, and the outside community. Tasked with finding a dog that could sniff out cell phones at little or no cost to the department, Conrad obtained Caesar from the California Belgian Malinois Rescue. Based on Caesar's success as the department's first cell phone-detection dog, a second dog and handler team were approved to begin training. Drako, donated at no cost by a San Diego-area Belgian Malinois breeder, started training and began service in September 2009.
After the tremendous success of these dog/handler pairs, CDCR officials decided to expand the number K-9 teams. Teams were strategically stationed at institutions. The goal was for a team to be able to travel to an institution, conduct a search, and make it back to their home institution within an eight-hour shift. Each one of CDCR's 30 dogs was donated through various breeders and shelters. The price tag for one of these specially trained dogs can run as high as $7,000. All K-9 teams attend an initial 160-hour course, as well as mandatory three-times-a-month training administered by Conrad.
On March 6, 2012, for the first time ever, all 30 dogs and their handlers assembled at the Galt Training Facility for additional training, awards presentations and contraband searches at two CDCR institutions the following day. As all of the dogs gathered in the auditorium, it was panting and barking aplenty with the dogs anxiously waiting to start working or intently searching for their toys.
|K-9 contraband teams search cells at Deuel Vocational Institution in Tracy, California
On March 7, 2012, the 30 teams split up, some going to Deuel Vocational Institution (DVI) in Tracy and others to Sierra Conservation Center (SCC) in Jamestown. At DVI, the dogs found a weapon, inmate-manufactured wine, and narcotics. During the search at SCC and two nearby conservation camps, the dogs located five cell phones, six cell phone chargers, six SIM cards, seven pounds of tobacco, and five grams of marijuana.
All the dogs ask for in exchange for their efforts are a chew toy and lots of love. Just another day in the life of a CDCR contraband search canine.

Doctors treating a Monterey man who was attacked by a shark Saturday morning say he is in good condition, and was very lucky to survive.
Eric Tarantino, 27, was surfing at Marina State Beach when he was bitten on the neck and arm along the right side of his body by a shark that took a 19-inch chunk from his red surfboard.
Still, doctors say Tarantino will recover fully and may be released today.
"The doctor said he's the luckiest unlucky guy he's ever met," said Bev Mikalonis, spokeswoman for Regional Medical Center of San Jose, where Tarantino was flown for care. "Had these bites been one millimeter closer to his jugular vein or carotid artery, it would have been a potentially fatal injury."
The attack happened just after 7 a.m. Saturday, shortly after Tarantino and a friend, Brandon McKibben of Salinas, entered the water.
"Eric had paddled a little bit deeper than me, onto the peak," McKibben said. "I could hear him yelling Shark! Shark!' And at that point we turned around and started paddling in as fast as we could."
McKibben said he looked at Tarantino, 4 feet away, and noticed his arm was bleeding badly. With help, Tarantino got out of the water, where fellow surfers used beach towels to apply a tourniquet to his arm and stanch the bleeding from his neck.
Paramedics treated Tarantino at the beach before he was airlifted to San Jose from a local airport.
Dana M. Jones, Monterey Sector superintendent for the California Department of Parks and Recreation, said shark warning signs would be posted at beaches from Fort Ord to Moss Landing, advising visitors to stay out of the water for the next seven days. The sand portion of the beaches will stay open, and the waters will be observed for shark activity.

Alan Burchill running for another term as mayor of Hudson
Alan Burchill announced Tuesday morning that he is in the running for a second full two-year term as mayor of Hudson.
"I enjoy it. I think we're making progress," the mayor said in a phone call to the Star-Observer from his office at St. Croix Valley Insurance agency, which he owns.
"There are going to be lots of challenges coming up, and I hopefully can make a positive impact on that," Burchill added.
He said the city is looking to expand downtown parking and increase funding for the Hudson Area Joint Library from both public and private sources.
The coming Wisconsin Street reconstruction and planned Vine Street reconstruction are projects he would like to play a role in, he added.
Burchill said he is pleased that the City Council has established a five-year capital budget to improve streets and other infrastructure.
He also noted the establishment of a storm water utility to maintain and improve storm sewers, as well as a 5-percent increase in municipal support for the library in 2014.
He said those things have been accomplished at the same time that tax bills have been kept "pretty level" the past two years.
Burchill first joined the City Council as the alderperson for District 6 in the spring of 2007.
In late 2010, fellow council members elected him to replace former mayor Dean Knudson when he resigned to take a seat in the Wisconsin Assembly.
Burchill defeated former District 5 alderperson Scot O'Malley in the election for a full two-year term as mayor in April 2012.
"The primary thing we need to accomplish is to continue to attract new companies and businesses to our area," he said Tuesday morning.
"That's the fun part of the job. We've got a lot to offer here with good schools and a great tax situation for businesses. We need to create as many jobs as we can for our people who live in the area."

Everyone is discussing what Fortune magazine is calling the "Greek maelstrom" and everyone is pointing the finger at someone else. Whose fault is it? The Greek government is accused of cheating and allowing Greeks to live beyond their means. The European Union is accused of having created an impossible structure for the euro.
Or is the fault with Goldman Sachs? It is accused of having enabled the Greek government to falsify its accounts when it sought to join the euro monetary system. It is accused today of engaging in "credit-default swaps" that make the situation of the Greek government even more vulnerable, but to the bank's profits. The head of credit strategy at UniCredit in Munich says this is like "buying insurance on your neighbor's house – you create an incentive to burn down the house." Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany calls Goldman Sachs' actions in 2002 "scandalous" and Christian Lagarde, France's Finance Minister, calls now for greater regulation of credit-default swaps.
Niall Ferguson says that "A Greek crisis is coming to America." He calls this "a fiscal crisis of the Western world." Ferguson is preaching the evils of public debt and of the concept of a "Keynesian free lunch," which in the end is a "drag on growth." Paul Krugman says it's a "Euromess" because Europe should not have adopted a single currency before it was ready to have political union. But now the euro can't be allowed to break up since it would trigger a worldwide financial collapse.
Meanwhile, it seems everyone is pressuring the Greek government to reduce its public debt as a percentage of GNP from over 12% to say 4% in say four years. Can it do this? Should it do this? The Greek government says it will do something. This "something" has been enough to bring about massive strikes of farmers, hospital workers, air traffic controllers, customs officials, and all those who are being asked to reduce their income in the middle of an economic crisis and increased unemployment.
Should Germany do something? The Germans don't want to for two principal reasons. The first is the prospective demand of other states in economic difficulty (Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland) for the same thing. The second is the internal pressures of their citizens who see any help to Greece as money that is being taken away from them, when they too are feeling an economic squeeze.
On the other hand, if Greece (and other countries) squeeze their citizens to pay down the debt, it means reduced purchasing power for imports – first of all, from Germany. And this means in turn a downturn for the German economy. Josef Joffe, the editor of Germany's Die Zeit, groans: "Europe has become a huge welfare state for everybody, for states as well as individuals."
Meanwhile, the euro is slumping and the dollar is once again, for a moment, a "safe haven." Ferguson warns us that "US government debt is a safe haven the way Pearl Harbor was a safe haven in 1941."
When an analyst in the Financial Times suggested that Germany was going after all to bail out Greece, a German reader commented: "So what you're saying is give them your money to spend in your shop." But isn't that just what the Chinese do when they buy U.S. Treasury bonds?
What these multiple cross-cutting analyses of short-term blame and short-term gain miss is that the problem is worldwide and structural. Banks exist to make money. The games Goldman Sachs has been playing (and other banks as well) has not only been with Greece, but with many, many countries – even with Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, even with the United States.
This is because governments wish to survive. To do this, they need to spend enough money to prevent a "maelstrom" and civil uprising. And if they don't take in enough taxes to do this (both because they don't want to raise taxes further and because a weaker economy means less overall tax income), they must "massage" their accounts by borrowing. And covert borrowing (from banks, for example) is better than overt borrowing, since it enables governments to avoid criticism, until the day when the secret gets revealed, and there's a "run on the bank."
Greece's problems are indeed Germany's problems. Germany's problems are indeed the United States' problems. And the United States' problems are indeed the world's problems. Analyzing who did what in the last ten years is far less useful than discussing what, if anything, can be done in the next ten years. What is going on is a world-wide game of chicken. Everyone seems to be waiting for who will flinch first. Someone is going to make a mistake. And then we'll have what Barry Eichengreen has called "the mother of all financial crises." Even China will be affected by that one.

First of all, you would have to parse the Setup.lhs/Setup.hs file to determine which build infrastructure is being used, whether any hooks are being used, etc. Assuming that the build infrastructure is "Simple" and there are no hooks being used, then you have choices: (1) You could build a compiled version using GHC and the tools that come with it, (2) You can build an interpreted version using Hugs and the tools that come with it.

Rapid Reaction: White Sox 10, Red Sox 7
May, 31, 2011
By Steven Krasner | ESPNBoston.com
BOSTON -- Alfredo Aceves' winning streak couldn't last forever. It's not as if he is Cy Young incarnate, after all.
He has had an amazing record of success as a long reliever and spot starter, first for the New York Yankees and most recently for the Red Sox, adding up to 12 straight wins without a loss and an overall big-league mark of 16-1. The only other pitchers in major league history since 1876 who began their careers with a 16-1 record were Whitey Ford and Howie Krist, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Aceves' luck, though, ran out at least temporarily Tuesday night against the Chicago White Sox at Fenway Park.
Chicago dunked in some cheap hits, scalded a few more and ultimately it all added to a 10-7 victory for the White Sox, who improved to 12-2 against the Red Sox in their last 14 meetings, dating back to Aug. 27, 2009. Chicago, which had a 10-1 lead heading into the eighth, held off a late Sox rally for the triumph.
Aceves, filling in for John Lackey (elbow, on disabled list) was charged with eight runs, six of which were earned, on eight hits and three walks in five-plus innings. So now he is 16-2 in his career, and his winning streak is history.
• Untouched for two outs: The White Sox registered an unusual double play in the fifth. With Carl Crawford running from first on the pitch, Jed Lowrie hit a lazy fly ball to center field. Crawford initially didn't know where the ball was, so he slid into second base.
When he realized the ball was about to be caught, he popped up quickly and headed back to first base. He made it there easily, but the White Sox appealed at second base, claiming Crawford hadn't retouched the bag on his trip back to first base, as he would have to do, by rule, because he had gone a step past the second-base bag.
The umpires agreed Crawford hadn't re-touched the base, so he was called out, too, giving Chicago a double play.
• No respect: White Sox third-base coach Jeff Cox didn't show a lot of respect for the arm of Boston center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury in the third inning.
When Alexei Ramirez dropped a single to center with one out, Cox didn't hesitate to wave around Brent Morel, who was running from second base. Morel got to the third-base bag as a charging Ellsbury collected the ball in medium center field.
Cox knew what he was doing. Ellsbury's throw home didn't have a lot of steam on it. First baseman Adrian Gonzalez cut the ball off and the Red Sox put out Ramirez in a rundown as Morel scored standing.
• Tek support: Jason Varitek's hitting streak grew to eight games with his homer over the White Sox bullpen in the third inning. That's his longest streak since a nine-gamer from April 21 to May 4, 2006. The Sox captain, who went 3 for 4 Tuesday night, is batting .379 (11 for 29) over his last eight games. He also has hit safely in 12 of his last 13 starts, batting at a .340 (16 for 47) clip over that span.
• Quick turnaround: The Red Sox and the White Sox finish up the three-game series with a midweek day game, starting Wednesday at 1:35. While that's two quick games -- a night game followed by a day game, the Red Sox will get some extra time off thanks to the daytime start.
Boston has a scheduled day off Thursday.
Tim Wakefield starts Wednesday in a possible audition to stay in the rotation because John Lackey is expected to return from the disabled list for Sunday's game.

Census 2000
Two Twelve Associates, New York, New York, 1995
The Census Bureau has long been concerned with low rates of return and the expenses associated with soliciting each decade's responses. The designers reorganized, simplified, and redesigned the instructions so that the experience of receiving, completing, and returning the material would be as easy as possible. The form was reformatted to facilitate input by people instead of processing by machines. Primary, patriotic colors were chosen for their ability to stand out in the mail and look contemporary in the year 2000. A typeface was selected for its legibility and date recognition by optical scanning machines. Of the three similar designs submitted, the Census Bureau chose these two versions for further development.

For mom
Known as Rondae Jefferson throughout his career at Chester (Pa.) High School, the incoming UA freshman wing will start going by the last name "Hollis-Jefferson" starting tonight in the McDonald's All American Game.
He will also do so at Arizona, as his older brother, Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson, started doing at Temple two seasons ago. Both are honoring their mother, Rylanda Hollis, who worked two jobs during many of their early years.
Rahlir "got me on to show appreciation for my mom," Rondae said. "It was hard to not see your mom all the time, coming home to sleep and then waking up and still not seeing her. It was a rough time for us."
Helping hand
When East coach Freddy Johnson was unable to play two point guards in practice Tuesday, he didn't have to look hard to find a replacement.
Hollis-Jefferson, a natural wing forward, quickly approached.
"He said, 'No problem, I got it,'" Johnson said. "He stepped right in. He's willing to do everything, and he plays hard every single possession."
High expectations
By the time Hollis-Jefferson and Aaron Gordon arrive in Tucson this summer, expectations for the Wildcats will be higher than they've ever been under Sean Miller.
But that's OK with them. Their own expectations are just as high.
"I think next year we've got a great chance to compete for a national championship," Hollis-Jefferson said.
When Gordon was asked what a successful season would be for him at Arizona, he answered with two words.
"National title," he said.
Even more help
While Gordon and Hollis-Jefferson are in the glow of the nation's most prestigious high school all-star game this week, there's another member of Arizona's 2013 recruiting class whom Gordon can't wait to play with.
Guard Elliott Pitts, who was UA's first 2013 commitment last August, finished his senior season at De La Salle High School in Concord, Calif., just about an hour away from Gordon's Mitty High School.
"Elliott's my boy," Gordon said. "He's a really, really cool dude. A good team player. And he can shoot the lights out. He'll be a good player."
Frazier picks SMU
Another McDonald's All American, onetime UA recruiting target Keith Frazier, also announced his college decision Tuesday. But Frazier did not do so at the McDonald's media day as did Aaron Gordon, instead issuing this tweet:
"Ya boy a SMU Mu$tang lets get it!"
Frazier is a 6-5 shooting guard from Kimball, Texas, who drew UA's attention through last summer while he played for travel teams from both Houston and Dallas.
"I'm all right," Frazier told the Star one July morning in Las Vegas while pulling double duty with the Houston Hoops and Dallas-based DJH5 club. "I'm kind of tired. I got up around 6, and that ain't good. But it's no big deal."
"The thing about us is we can go small and not even be that small. And if you want to put me at the four instead of the three we'll still be just as big." - Aaron Gordon, on UA's potential lineups next season
Blowing up
After his announcement and 30 minutes of stand-up interviews Tuesday, Gordon retreated to the United Center stands for a break to sit with his mother and check his phone.
Thanks to social media, the moment was hardly restful.
"Twitter's going crazy," Gordon said after he arose. "I'm a trending topic right now on Twitter."
The big number
Arizona players or recruits to play in the McDonald's All American Game, 15 of whom signed out of high school. Four of them were recruited by Miller.
More numbers
Spots UA moved up in ESPN's Top 2013 team recruiting classes after Aaron Gordon announced, from 25 to 5.
The number of Pac-12-bound players in tonight's McDonald's All American Game - UA's Gordon and Hollis-Jefferson, plus guard Jabari Bird (Cal) and guard Nigel Williams-Goss (Washington)

I have such a hard time with mascaras - my lashes are pathetically short and stubby so wearing falsies everyday is a must! So I was in Boots last month and decided to pick up a tube of Telescopic Waterproof, based on Vivianna's recommendation (viviannadoesmakeup). Firstly, this mascara will not give you thick, voluminous lashes, that's what L'Oreal Voluminous is for! What it does, and does extremely well is give my lashes lots of length AND most importantly holds the curl ALL day long! What I do is first I curl my lashes with my Shu Uemura eyelash curler then apply 2 coats of Telescopic to my lashes using the zig-zag motion. I just love how the plastic brush coats each lash evenly and does a great job on my bottom lashes too. I really believe the waterproof formula is what makes this mascara work so well. Now, to remove it, be prepared to put in some work! It's so effective at being waterproof, the only thing to completely remove it is an oil-based make up remover. I use MAC 'Cleanse Off Oil' and massage it around my eyes and it comes off a treat.
Oh, and I've used this mascara in conjunction with Voluminous; 2 coats of Voluminous over the top of Telescopic = seriously full, thick even draq-queenesque lashes!
For my short, straight lashes it does a marvellous job of adding length and holding a curl. Will definitely keep repurchasing.

Whats My Next Gun
I turn 21 soon and am debating between various guns to purchase as my next gun. By the way price is important. I want a nice weapon but things like a Barrett .50 are a little pricey for my age. :D
Current Wishlist:
Chinese SKS (heard they were fun to shoot)
***An accurate non-hunting (my family owns many hunting rifles) long range rifle for sport.
CZ 75 SP01 Phantom
Springfield XDm
***I have much less knowledge about scoped rifles so best guess might be a Remington 700 or some sort of .308 or .338 Lapua but scopes would probably put this out of my price range. A great rifle would be nice to have for some long distance shooting. For a long range rifle I would prefer one with a pistol grip instead of a butt stock grip.
You could also consider a Yugoslavian SKS. The CZ, XD, or 1911 would make a great auto. My fist choice would be a good 1911. As for the rifle, I'd be keen to know some insight on that as well. I know the Remington 700 is a great choice. Another good choice would be the Ruger HM77.
If i were you... I will move that AR15 to the top of your list. Slowly hunt for the affordable parts n good quality like PSA. By the time goes n at the end.. you will be like Wow. Just my 2c.
Just break down and get the 1911. You know you're going to get one someday, why wait?
Make it a Colt. ;)
I need to stop praising you so much Cane. People will begin to have funny thoughts about me. :/
Get the XDm. They are awesome!!
NOTE TO MEMBERS: Nothing to see here, just move on. NO bromance gossip here! Move on. :p
Brown chicken brown cow!
Thanks for the help so far everyone
I'm in the army national guard and we use the m4. Ive never shot an ar15 but i assume its very similar. I'm not a big fan if the 5.56 round honestly. Its too small. Id rather shoot 7.62 any day. And if an AR is anything like an m4, it gets dirty real quick

Tomorrow (Thursday) at the crack of dawn The Academic Wino is off on a journey to the Wine Bloggers Conference (#WBC13) in Penticton, British Columbia! That being said, there most likely won't be a post highlighting any major research articles until I get back next week. I will be taking advantage of my many flights (4 planes total!) by catching up on reading the many books I have piled up waiting to be read and reviewed! Yes, I actually read the entirety of the books that I review, thus why it sometimes takes me so long to crank one out!….but I digress….
First of all, another huge THANK YOU to the Wine Bloggers Conference Scholarship Fund, the judges who selected me as a recipient, and most importantly to all the donors who made this opportunity possible for me. Without the Wine Bloggers Scholarship, I would not have been able to attend the Wine Bloggers Conference in Penticton and for that I am eternally thankful. I'm also very grateful to my friend and blogging budding Luke Whittall from Wine Country BC, who offered to let me stay with him and his wife and children so I wouldn't have to pay for a hotel room. I'm looking forward to seeing a real live Canadian family unit and how our friends to the north raise their young. 😉 Thanks, bro! I expect no less than 5 star service and a giant banana pillow waiting for me when I get there 😉
Yes, British Columbia is certainly "inconvenient" for me being in Virginia, and I would have not been able to go had I not received a scholarship. However, even though it is a bit of a stretch to get here, and is a relatively expensive trip for many attendees this year, I don't regret the decision to choose BC as this years' host. Sure, the area is still relatively young as a wine region, and BC alcohol laws may not be ideal, but to me this area may very well be an important part of the wine industry of the future. With climate change likely changing the boundaries of grape growing (in addition to everything else that lives and breathes), visiting, learning about, and investing time and resources into a region that may see their wine industry flourish as a result of climate change is a very important first step. I'm looking forward to learning about this relatively "new" wine region and how they are using more sustainable approaches to viticulture and winemaking to 1) grow a developing wine region and 2) practice techniques that won't cause as much harm to the environment as techniques used in the past. For an in-depth read on climate change and how it relates to the wine industry, please read the post I published on Monday by clicking here.
In terms of the different educational sessions that will be offered at the Wine Bloggers Conference this year, there are so many great selections to choose from! For me, it was relatively easy to select which sessions I plan on attending, as my blog is pretty focused/niche and there is only so much that makes sense. During the Friday breakout sessions, I plan on attending the Google+ workshop. I have Google+ accounts for both me personally and for the blog, however other than sharing my own blog posts (and often my fiance's blog posts on my personal account), I'm really awful at it. It hasn't really picked up steam for me, partially because I have put in zero time trying to learn it and understand it, so the Google+ session is going to be critical for me to really utilize the service.
My number 1 choice for the excursions on Friday afternoon is definitely the Vineyard and Geology tour because, well, I'm a nerd and nerds like geology 😉 I am looking forward to what makes The Okanagan terroir so unique and how the geology has developed over time. I'm hoping to write an entire blog post just on this subject, so I hope the information is plentiful!
For the Saturday morning block sessions, I plan on attending the "Wine Country Videography, Photography, & Podcasting Workshop. To be honest, I'm only really interested in the photography portion of the session, but I am looking forward to listening to the other ways one can utilize technology to grow their blog, even if I don't end up using them. Who knows, maybe this session will inspire me to introduce a new segment on The Academic Wino!
Saturday night will be the night they announce the winners of the Wine Blog Awards. Many of you know The Academic Wino is a finalist in the Best Industry Blog category for the first time, and Saturday night will be the night we learn if we've won or not. To be completely honest, it doesn't matter to me if I win or come in last—the fact that I have been named a finalist after only two years of blogging, and to be listed among some amazing wine blogs (of which are some of my favorite blogs to visit, actually) is quite the honor and I will be forever proud of that. Thank you to each and every one of you that voted for me, and best of luck to all the finalist in the category. Whoever wins certainly deserves it! What a great line-up!
As a side note: Saturday (June 8th) also marks the 2 year anniversary (or what I lovingly call "blogiversary") of The Academic Wino, so this Wine Bloggers Conference is that much more special and important to me as a wine blogger.
I'll wrap things up now by saying how excited I am to be travelling to Penticton, BC on Thursday for the Wine Bloggers Conference, and how thankful I am to have been given the opportunity to go and also for being recognized as a quality blog by my peers! I'm looking forward to seeing my blogging friends and making new connections, as well as learning all about this potentially important wine region of the future.
Words cannot express how happy and how thankful I am! I'm looking forward to sending you the recap of the event in the weeks after the conference!

Greece's political leaders on Thursday agreed to steep government cutbacks and economic reforms to qualify for a euro130 billion ($170 billion) bailout from other countries in Europe and around the world.
Here are some questions and answers about the agreement:
Q: What are the main points of the deal?
Greece has agreed to a range of austerity measures designed to bring its deficit under control. They include a 22 percent cut in the monthly minimum wage to euro586 ($780), layoffs for 15,000 of civil servants and an end to dozens of job guarantee provisions.
Q: Why is this budget cutting so important?
A: Without it, the country would not be eligible for a euro130 billion ($170 billion) bailout from other countries in Europe and the International Monetary Fund. Greece needs the money ahead of a euro14.5 billion bond deadline on March 20 and strike a vital debt-relief deal with bond investors.
Q: And if Greece were to miss this March 20 bond payment, then what?
A: A Greek default would potentially spread the crisis to other eurozone countries, by making investors even more leery of lending to them. And analysts fear it could set off a chain reaction similar to the financial meltdown that occurred in the fall of 2008 and triggered the Great Recession.
Q: Didn't Greece already get a massive bailout? Why wasn't that enough?
A. Greece has been surviving since May 2010 on a euro110 billion bailout. But the terms of that bailout were harsh, requiring higher taxes and deep cuts in public spending. Those actions pushed Greece deeper into recession, and the country's failure to control spending caused its debt burden to rise.
Q: How badly is Greece doing?
Its economy shrank at an annual rate of 5 percent in the third quarter of 2011, the most recent quarter for which data are available. Earlier in the year, it was shrinking at an 8.3 percent rate_ about as fast as the U.S. economy was shrinking during the worst of the Great Recession. Thousands of shops and small businesses, vital to the Greek economy, have gone bankrupt. Unemployment stands at 20.9 per cent. And protesters have taken to the streets of Athens regularly to denounce the government and its austerity measures.
Greece is running a budget deficit of around 10 percent of its gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic output. It has promised the EU and IMF that it will achieve a so-called primary surplus _ a budget surplus when not counting interest payments on loans _ in 2012.
Q: How harsh are the austerity measures?
A: Greece has agreed to a 20 percent cut in its government work force by 2015. A cut of that size in the U.S. would eliminate 4.4 million jobs _ half the number lost across the economy during the Great Recession. Greece will also cut the minimum wage by 22 percent. A cut of that size in the U.S. would bring the hourly minimum wage to around $5.80, roughly the level it was at in July 2008.
Q: What are the terms of the debt-relief deal Greece is negotiating?
A: Banks, hedge funds, pension funds and other private investors who own euro206 billion in Greek government bonds would exchange them for a payment of euro30 billion, plus euro70 billion in new bonds. The payment will come from the euro130 billion package from Europe and the IMF. The new bonds would have a lower average interest rate and a longer term of maturity. The combination of less principal to repay when the bonds mature and less interest to pay every year until then means Greece would spend about 70 percent less than without a deal.
Q. How will the rest of the euro130 billion bailout be used?
A. Greece will invest roughly euro40 billion in the country's banks, who would be at risk of collapse from the losses they take on Greek government bonds as part of the debt-relief deal. The remaining euro60 billion will be used for financing the country's deficit.
Q. When was the last time a country defaulted on its debt?
A. The last major country to default on its debt was Argentina in 2002. The country finally managed to negotiate a settlement on its defaulted bonds in 2005.

Meijer will finalize an investment of more than $160 million in new and remodeled stores this year, the Grand Rapids based company announced today.
The investment includes the construction of six brand new Meijer stores and remodel projects for an additional five stores.
The new stores will be evenly distributed between Michigan, Indiana and Illinois, while remodel projects will be focused at four Michigan stores and one in Illinois.
"We are pleased to continue to invest in the Midwest communities that have supported us for so long," Co-CEO Hank Meijer said. "By keeping prices low and maintaining our focus on customer service, we have been able to continue to grow during a tough economic cycle."
Meijer says the investment will create more than 1,500 jobs, as the opening of each new Meijer store represents at least 250 full- and part-time jobs.
Meijer has opened 29 new stores since 2007, and remodeled dozens of others. This has resulted in the creation of thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of tax revenue pumped into local communities.
The new store locations include the highly anticipated Detroit, Michigan location, as well as a store in Swartz Creek, outside of Flint.
Portage and Warsaw, Indiana will both have new stores, as will Danville and Evergreen Park in Illinois.
The Lansing, Michigan location will be remodeled, as will Taylor, Flint and Grand Rapids. Springfield, Illinois will also see a remodel.
Remodel projects will include a variety of specific enhancements both in and outside of the stores, but will also result in reduced energy usage and more energy-efficient stores.
The Grand Rapids location, on Knapp's Corner, will be the first to benefit from a new Meijer flagship remodel that will test design elements which may be considered for future stores.
"We will continue our process of slow, steady growth," Hank Meijer said. "this has allowed us to focus on our customers and team members, while supporting the communities where they work and live."

Fashion NEWS
Inspired by flowing fabrics and watercolours, the new Spring/Summer collection "Art hoc 2012" by FRANZIUS is composed of a melange of blue, grey and white tones. Pieces made of jeans-like linen contrast with flowing yet structured silk.
As in previous years, the core of the collection is a print: one large splash of colour simulating the flow of spilt molasses on light rayon fabric. Raw silk resembles white canvasses - blank surfaces which are meant for projection and interpretation.
Clear and geometrical patterning is typical for the Berlin avant-garde label FRANZIUS. In this Spring/Summer collection they melt into abstract constructions such as draped tops broken up by creative inlays in front and back.
The popular bicolour look has made a come-back this season as can be seen in the dresses with material mix details.

So students (a.k.a dirtbags) took to the London streets to protest the government's plans to let colleges raise their tuition. They broke into the Conservative party's offices, set off flares and started fires – while painting the universal symbol of the jobless, Starbucks hipster (the anarchy sign).
Here's a rule to remember: someone who still thinks the anarchy symbol is an edgy sign of revolutionary bravado, is also someone who still sponges off mummy and daddy – and yet never pays for a drink. In short, they are babies.
So, yeah – tuition limits are going up to 9,000 pounds – in our money that's $14,500. Which, as Americans can attest, ain't much. That's a used Jetta with 70 thousand miles. Or three hours with Ashley Dupree.
The gov also wants to scrap some subsidies for students, which will definitely cut into their hair gel.
So, how did this happen?
Well, the West is witnessing the continuation of the first real global tantrum – stretching from Greece, to France, to Berkeley, to London. The babies in every country – so used to entitlements – are now being told that the piper must be paid. But because no one taught them the basics of finance – their only reply is "wah, wah," and "wah."
Thanks to education fetishists, there's a belief that there should be no price tag on classes like "Lady Gaga's Effect on Transgender Truckdrivers," and that the only limits to your education is your desire to be educated.
Sounds like something you'd see stuck on the bumper of a Prius, but that's because most political views on entitlements are based on sticker sloganeering: feel good sentimentality unattached to the consequences of cost.
Anyway, they should be rioting over stuff that matters – like the doubling of cheap alcohol to curb binge drinking. I mean, what's the point of an education if you can't remember it?
And if you disagree with me, you're a racist, homophobie, anarchophobe.
Brooke Goldstein!
Ryan Reise!
Father Jonathan Morris!
other stuff, too (hopefully, my mom)

10 Insects So Ugly You'll Never Go Outside Again
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and we are beholding these insects to be UGLY.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and we are beholding these insects to be UGLY.
Nothing will make you appreciate the power of nature quite like watching a dozen cypress trees being sucked underwater in the blink of an eye by a sinkhole.
This pretty much proves it -- nature is terrifying AND awesome. This video shows what happens in the woods when humans aren't around. It's pretty amazing, but if we ever stumbled across that many bears in one place ... let's just say there aren't enough pants in the world.
If you brought a spare pare of pants to work today, feel free to watch this video. Storm chasers Bradon Ivey and Sean Casey were sitting in their "Tornado Intercept Vehicle" when they quite literally intercepted a tornado.
The universe is a pretty amazing place, from the unimaginably large, right down to the incredibly small. There's an awful lot going on in this field we call "existence."
If you can imagine your reaction when you accidentally film a freak fireball exploding in your backyard, then you can probably imagine that this video is NSFW.
Bubbles, bubbles everywhere and GAH BUBBLES EVERYWHERE!!!!! If, by some chance, a resident of Footdee, in Aberdeen, Scotland had been quoting Willy Wonka and looked out his window, this is probably what he would've said...
For those of you who haven't heard of 'Storm Chasers,' it was a documentary reality television series on the Discovery Channel. Unfortunately for fans, this exhilarating show was cancelled earlier this year. Luckily, the internet provides us the opportunity to watch some of the craziest clips from the show.
Is there anything scarier than a hurricane at full force? Not if you're in the middle of it filming the action.
The 2012 solar eclipse is an annual event where the moon crosses over the sun creating what many (or at least the internet) are calling a "ring of fire." And in case you were too busy watching Katy Perry swinging in midair at the Billboard Music Awards while performing 'Wide Awake,' you probably missed it.
Super Moon 2012, which occurred Saturday night, was not a sight to be missed, even if you were too busy drinking your Cinco de Mayo margaritas. This natural phenomenon is the one time a year when the moon is closer to the earth than ever, making it appear 30 percent brighter and 14 percent bigger. It also makes us stare off into space and go, "Whoah!?"
The folks in San Antonio, Texas got quite a treat earlier this month when an unexplained fireball, or rather something that looked like a fireball streaked across the midday sky.
Between 10 and 18 tornadoes ripped through the Dallas area on Tuesday. Homes were destroyed, vehicles were tossed around like rag dolls and residents frantically sought shelter. And many folks captured the wreckage on their video cameras and phones.
A group of students from Yale University have discovered a species of fungi in the Amazon that eats the common plastic polyurethane. And, what's more, Pestalotiopsis microspora can nosh on plastic even in an oxygen-free environment, which makes it perfect to survive in a landfill. There you go! Earth's waste management problem has just been solved! (Not really, but it's a start.)
Capturing a natural disaster on a video camera or cellphone is one thing, but to see one through the objective and unassuming eye of a security camera is another altogether.

I hate to borrow the Zune tag-line, but Pandora seems to be upholding it better. The free on-line music streaming service just added more social features so you can create a listener profile and bio. Other Pandora users can search the profiles to find listeners that share similar song interests, leave comments and also see or hear what folks are listening to that very moment. I listen to Enya and "Enya-like" artists on Pandora, so I did a quick search to see how many other folks also listen to Enya, with the results shown here.
If you haven't tried Pandora yet, you'd be hard pressed to find a song you didn't like. The service uses the "genomes" or attributes of music to provide songs you'll like based on your musical preferences. After a few weeks of providing feedback to Pandora, almost every song played for you will be something you like. If not, you can just give it the "thumbs down" and never hear it again!

So Many Miles
Fearing defies pigeonholing as a folkie or rocker by assimilating influences and creating thoughtful, gorgeous music.
— The Oregonian
It's late winter, a small, crowded hall in downtown Toronto. From the opening song, the intimacy of the live setting is established. So Many Miles records a sonic close-up of a talent that cannot be denied. The performance is a testament to his musical brilliance and includes two covers which Fearing has made his own: Neil Young's "Thrasher" and "Tryin' Times" by Donny Hathaway.

Sep. 12th, 2000

Essie Good to Go Top Coat Reviews
Absolutely can not live without it!I categorically refuse to even acknowledge the bad reviews for this product, because I love it so much, and have been using it fo years, and it had never peeled or cracked on me. Ever! And I by no means am saying that the bad reviews are untrue or anything like that. But what I'm thinking is that maybe those "bad reviewers" coincidentally didn't apply any alcohol to their nails prior to applying...read more nail polish and their nails weren't degreased or perfectly cleaned? And that might have possibly caused the pealing? And neither am I saying that we absolutely need to apply alcohol before putting our nail polish on. I only do it if I'm not applying the nail polish immediately after removing the old polish. You know how you can take your old polish off and then start doing something else, and forget that whatever we had our hands in might have possibly left residue on our nails? That's when it's good idea to have a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol, and give your nails a quick spray... Anyway, I absolutely can not live without this product. It is the best top coat in my opinion. In years of using it it has NEVER cracked on me (like many others had in the past), never let me down in terms of shine, drying time or durability. Once again, never! And I strongly insist that it's a superb product. We simply need to remember the basic rules of applying nail polish... Have clean nails prior to application. Do not (ever) go over the cuticle with nail polish or top coat - this will definitely cause your polish to peel much quicker (if not the next day). It is much better and neater to leave a very small visible nail around the cuticles, because your manicure will last longer and look more professional. And DO use good nail polish that doesn't need 5 coats in order for you to get the color you thought you were purchasing, because if you got over 5 coats of product on your nails, it will be hard for any top coat to get through all these layers and work for you... So if these very basic rules are respected - you will love the "Good to Go" from "Essie". I highly and strongly recommend this product to anyone looking for a good top coat! ;) — 3 years, 8 months agoNikatron | 150 reviews

Shiny topcoatI have tried several different Sally Hansen topcoats, but this one dries quicker. As always, I put a top coat over the dried nail polish. It really gives my nails shine and gloss, and make them extra hard. This is obviously more expensive (I paid about $10 for a bottle) than Sally Hansen's topcoats, but when I use Good to Go, the polish lasts much longer. — 6 years, 10 months agoluckybetty | 895 reviews

Very disappointedI'm a big fan of Essie polish, and I purchased this top coat because it had come highly recommended. Guess what, if I want an expensive top coat to peel, be scratched up in a matter of hours, and make my manicures look horrible, I am sure there are others out therre that can achieve the exact same results that this one so unfortunately provides. I'd toss it in the trash if it hadn't cost so much m...read moreoney. I went back to using Out The Door which performs at a much higher level of quality and even if I've gone 3-4 weeks between manicures, my polish doesn't look horrendous.

Not long-lastingThis polish delivers a super shiny topcoat and dries your polish almost instantly. Which is why it's too bad that this product doesn't last long in the bottle or on your nails. Chipping and peeling starts within a few hours and the polish in the bottle got thick and gloppy when it was only a quarter empty. — 9 years agoteshie | 396 reviews

Lacks the goopy-ness of the cheaper brands.It's a little pricier compared to the $3-4 top coats like those from Sally Hansen. But it really glides over freshly applied polish beautifully without smearing or leaving a sluggishly-drying glob of top coat. Just don't overdo it! With every layer, just aim for a thin application.

Taunton Retailers Against Crime (TRAC) hosted their inaugural awards ceremony to recognise the efforts of members in reducing crime and improving community safety.
The Daytime Economy Member prize went to Superdrug for cutting stock losses from £1,100 to £250 a week.
Winners of the Night-time Economy title were Taunton Street Pastors, a voluntary group who look after vulnerable people in town at night.
Joint winners of the Individual Representative category were Andy Guest and Graham Lethaby, Chubb Security personnel based at Sainsbury's Hankridge Farm store.
And PCSO Ben Dilworth-Smith was crowned Police Representative of the Year.
TRAC co-ordinator Andy Sharman said: "Our partnership is successful because of the commitment from our members and their colleagues.
"Their determination to keep our communities safe is one of the reasons that crime against our members has been significantly reduced in the past year."
Insp Sam Williams, from Taunton Police, said: "TRAC is an excellent initiative which we're very proud to support.
"It's been fundamental in reducing crime and disorder throughout our town centre and beyond, and rightly should be proud of the results it's achieved."

We did a search for other books with a similar title, and found some results for you that may be helpful.
The highly successful Education, Change and Society is now in its second edition and continues its purpose to help students situate educational activity in its broad social and policy contexts. In Australia the way that schools, school funding, school markets, universities and the responsibilities of government for education are organised have all been subject to radical reform in recent decades. It has never been more important for students of education to be able to understand the connections between the local and the global in explaining contemporary educational change. Every chapter not only describes and analyses what is going on, but each interprets the evidence in particular ways. Discussion of the issues raised in this book is encouraged, and students are given every opportunity to analyse and question. Questions raised in this book include: How do Aboriginal students experience Australian schools? Who writes policy documents and for what purpose in education? Why did state, private and corporate schools emerge as they did in Australia? How do social class and gender differences affect schooling and its outcomes? What constitutes the work of teachers, and can teachers 'make a difference'? How has the role of research become increasingly significant in education and to teachers in particular? Updated and revised to incorporate the latest education policies and discussions about national education reform and to increase its contemporary relevance. New author, Debra Hayes, applies her teaching background and research into teaching practices in chapter one, 'Young People and School'. Improved pedagogy throughout: Boxes throughout each chapter with an expanded range of case studies provide evocative illustration and grounded examples of matters that the chapters discuss more generally. End of chapter focus questions help students identify key points, and provoke thought and discussion beyond the text. Suggestions for further reading for discovering the wealth of research and writing that has been done on the social contexts of education and policy studies in Australia and beyond. Suggested websites to explore relevant education policy developments.

The last lesson in this module is inspired by the 'The importance of geography' statement in the KS3 Programme of Study. There is a strong element of Citizenship. Human activities have made some parts of the planet uninhabitable. Students undertake independent research into forbidden places using web based tools. They complete a short project and respond creatively to their chosen location. Finally they consider the nature of forbidden places in their local area.
Why are some places forbidden?
Some places are restricted because of past or present military activities. Places may also be forbidden for cultural, political or environmental reasons.
Watch the You Tube video 'Visions of Pripyat'
Pripyat is an abandoned city in the 'Zone of alienation' in northern Ukraine, near the border with Belarus. It was the home to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant workers. It was abandoned in 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster. Its population had been around 50,000.
Use the list of forbidden places.
For each place research to find out:
Read excerpts of your work to rest of the class.
Are there any 'forbidden places' in your local area?
Annotate an OS map of your local area to show places where you are made to feel unwelcome or are prohibited from entering.
Mark on the spaces or places where you are made to feel welcome.

Kalamata Cheesecake Appetizer Recipe
It's believed the Greeks served cheesecake at the first Olympics, so why not rewrite history with a Greek cheesecake appetizer? Ingredients in this version "tame" the Kalamata olives, so even if you shy away from Kalamatas, you'll be glad you tried this one. For a milder flavor, use the more common black or green olives. —Theresa Kreyche, Tustin, California

"I didn't like the crust. I ended up using the filling as a spread on crackers and that was pretty good."
