Minority affairs minister urges promotion of Urdu
Nashik (Maharashtra), Jan 4 (IANS) There should be a campaign demanding primary education in Urdu for Muslims to promote the language, union Minority Affairs Minister K. Rahman Khan said at an Urdu festival here.
"We all say that we are working for the promotion of Urdu language, but simultaneously blame others for ignoring it. The question is: what have we actually done for its promotion?" Khan asked, inaugurating a 10-day long 14th Urdu Festival in Malegaon town Friday, organised by National Council for Promotion of Urdu Language (NCPUL).
"It is high time that we all analyse the injustice we have done to the Urdu language and take corrective measures. The Constitution has given necessary protection to Urdu. Have we ever used this Constitutional right to demand protection of our mother tongue?" Khan asked the huge gathering of Muslim intellectuals, scholars and commoners.
He said the Muslims have never held a protest or a campaign for the protection and promotion of Urdu language.
Underlining education as the only tool Indian Muslims can use to prosper, the minister, who is an alumnus of an Urdu school in Karnataka, said there should be a campaign demanding primary education in Urdu language for the community.
The minister expressed concern over the shoddy state of Urdu-medium schools in the country and urged schools and NGOs to take corrective measures.
"Instead of being a community who depends on others, we should be a contributor and donor and always try to work and contribute for the development of the country," Khan said.
He rejected the notion that 'mushairas' and public meetings would help promote Urdu language and called for grassroot-level action if the language had to survive and flourish, especially since many non-Muslims also love the language passionately.
Earlier, Khan flagged off an Urdu caravan attended by over 50,000 people, including school students carrying banners and raising slogans to promote the Urdu language.
According to Aleem Faizee, one of the co-ordinators of the festival, this is the first time the event was organised at taluka-level Malegaon, a Muslim-dominated town in northern Maharashtra.
In the past, the event had graced only state capitals around the country like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Lucknow and so on.
"We are expecting over a million people from the region and anticipate book sales in excess of Rs.6,000,000 with the participation of top 50-plus Urdu publishers showcasing their books and literature," Faizee said.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – Gonzalo Segares hadn't painted much during his adult life, but when he saw the opportunity to contribute to the Chicago Fire Foundation's Art of Futbol event last year, the Fire defender whipped out his brush and started painting.
The Costa Rican is always quick to raise his hand when the Chicago Fire Foundation or local humanitarian causes need help. This year, he's been a spokesman for the Gift of Hope Organ and Tissue Donation Network and participated in fundraisers for Teammates for Kids, an organization that helps kids in various ways. He's attended events with the Chicago Fire Foundation, including the Art of Futbol event, where he was a judge this year, and he rode the Fire's float at the Chicago Pride Parade last weekend.
For his constant willingness to participate in charitable events, Segares has been named MLS Humanitarian of the Month.
"Whenever they ask me to go to [an event], usually I'm at home bored," Segares told MLSsoccer.com with a laugh. "It's a great opportunity to meet new people. It's always nice to do that and help."
READ: Fire announce partnership with the Greater Chicago Food Depository
Segares has been involved in different Fire charities, including the Fireworks for Kids Foundation, throughout his career in Chicago. But as the years have gone on, he's participated more and more.
This year, he became a spokesman Gift of Hope Foundation, an organization that encourages and coordinates organ and tissue donation in Illinois and northwest Indiana. During the offseason, he attended an event for Teammates for Kids in Nashville with Garth Brooks, a founder of the Foundation, where he helped procure more donations for the Chicago Fire Foundation.
He spent his two bye weekends during June attending the Fire Foundation's Brews and Bites event and the Chicago Pride Parade.

"It was great fun," Segares said about the Pride Parade. "The Fire has a lot of gay and lesbian supporters, and it was a great opportunity not only for me but also for the organization and for Pepsi to celebrate at the parade and give back and also support them as well."
Segares has plenty on his plate as the Fire try to climb up the standings to secure a playoff spot. But the left back is always willing to give up his free time to charitable causes.
"Whenever we have an event and I have time to do it and we're not on the road [I'll attend]," Segares said. "Usually with the Fire, they keep me pretty busy, so that's good."

The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that military training trumps protecting whales in a dispute over the Navy's use of sonar in submarine-hunting exercises off the coast of southern California.
Writing for the majority in the court's first decision of the term, Chief Justice John Roberts said the most serious possible injury to environmental groups would be harm to an unknown number of the marine mammals the groups study.
"In contrast, forcing the Navy to deploy an inadequately trained anti-submarine force jeopardizes the safety of the fleet," the chief justice wrote. He said the overall public interest tips strongly in favor of the Navy.
The Natural Resources Defense Council and other environmental organizations had sued the Navy, winning restrictions in lower federal courts on sonar use.
Dolphins, whales and sea lions are among the 37 species of marine mammals in the area.
The Bush administration argued that there is little evidence of harm to marine life in more than 40 years of exercises.
Joining Roberts' opinion were Justices Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.
The court did not deal with the merits of the claims put forward by the environmental groups. It said, rather, that federal courts abused their discretion by ordering the Navy to limit sonar use in some cases and to turn it off altogether in others.
Justice John Paul Stevens did not join the majority opinion, but said the lower courts had failed to adequately explain the basis for siding with the environmental groups. Justice Stephen Breyer would have allowed some restrictions to remain.
Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and David Souter dissented, saying the prospect of harm to the whales was sufficient to justify limits on sonar use.
In complicated sonar exercises, ships, subs and aircraft must train together in order to track modern diesel-electric submarines which can operate almost silently.
The Navy says the area off southern California is the only location on the West Coast that is relatively close to land, air and sea bases as well as amphibious landing areas.
NRDC said the ruling is a narrow one.
Joel Reynolds, director of NRDC's marine mammal protection program, said the court "did not accept the Navy's expansive claims of executive power," nor did the court "overturn the underlying determination that the Navy likely violated the law by failing to prepare an environmental impact statement."
The Navy challenged restrictions that included shutting down sonar when a marine mammal is spotted within 2,200 yards of a vessel.
The case is Winter v. NRDC, 07-1239.

CIBOLO, Texas – It's not everyone who keeps a big, four-wheeled chunk of early San Antonio history in his collection. For owner Bob Dale, however, his one-of-a-kind 1870s Pearl Beer keg delivery wagon is as much a part of San Antonio history as The Alamo.
Dale, the former editorial cartoonist for the daily San Antonio Express and the San Antonio News, said the wagon delivered many a cool barrel of suds to all of old San Antonio's famous and well-known watering holes, including the raucous Bella Union, the Big Four Saloon at Concho and Monterey streets, the Terminal Bar, the Clipper Saloon, the Riverside Bar at 102 E. Houston, and the White House Tavern at Houston and St. Mary's.
This small beer wagon also dropped kegs at the Menger Hotel of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough-Rider fame, the wild and woolly Ironfront, the legendary Buckhorn (still operating on Houston Street), and Billy Keilman's infamous "Beauty Saloon" in the rip-roarin' red-light district near downtown to name just a few of the colorful beer joints in old San Antonio.
Built by carriage makers Koenig & Luhrs of Quincy, Mass., this little beer wagon sits right in the middle of a vintage, panoramic photograph of the brewery circa 1910-15 that measures more than 6 feet wide. The large, framed picture was in the office of night brewmaster Charlie Rice, who also was prominent in the comedy gunfighter group, "The Famous Pearl Gunslingers." The aforementioned photograph neatly documents this horse-drawn Pearl Beer wagon.
The wagon is complete and authentic, with the original tongue, double and single trees, San Antonio Brewing Association signs, stake sides, chains and so on. The beer wagon features a heavy-duty, all-metal, cut-under spring chassis with chained removable stake-sides. The natural oak bed is approximately 4 feet 3 inches by 8 feet 3 inches. It has iron, square and hexagonal axles about 6 feet wide, double-sided heavy leaf springs and old Sarven-patent metal hubs, all painted Pearl Beer red.

The wheel base, hub to hub, is about 5 feet. The small "cut-under" style front wheels are 34 inches in diameter while the large rear wheels are more than 50 inches. All four wheels roll on 2-inch steel tires for easy passage over the Alamo city's then-cobblestone streets. The wagon bed is 39 inches from the ground while the driver's folding seat (12 inches by 28 inches) is about 6 feet from the ground.
Dale said he kept this little dray in his hometown Alamo Plaza Cowboy Museum. The wagon was stricken from Pearl Brewery property rolls in the late 1960s, about the time Dale was building the Old San Antonio Western Village on Ackerman Road in east Bexar County, which included the huge Golden Stallion western nightclub.
Dale got the wagon in the 1960s from Aubrey Kline, Pearl Brewing vice president and public relations director. At the time, Kline and the Pearl Beer company was vitally interested in preserving future Pearl Beer outlets and spent time at both museums during their construction. Kline and Pearl Brewing also sponsored the Famous Pearl Gunslingers, which Dale organized.
Kline thought the old beer wagon would be appropriate for the 1880s Western Village. The Old San Antonio Village closed in the 1970s and the wagon was stored at his home until 1991, when he opened the Cowboy Museum on Alamo Plaza, directly across South Alamo Street from the historic Gunter Hotel.
Pearl beer is still in production by Miller at its Ft. Worth, Texas, facility, but the Pearl Brewery in San Antonio closed in 2001. The former brewery is now the crown jewel in revitalization efforts of southern Midtown and northern Downtown San Antonio. For more, visit Wikipedia's Pearl Brewing Company page.
Dale tells Antique Trader that after decades of enjoyment it's time for the wagon to find a new owner – preferably in the San Antonio area. For more information, call or write Bob Dale, P.O. Box 295, Cibolo, TX 78108-0295 or call 210-659-3192 or 210-887-6632.

*** (out of four)
Hindsight can be awfully depressing and frequently chilling.
You may already know the story of the five people in "The Central Park Five." On April 19, 1989, a woman jogging in New York's Central Park was beaten and sexually assaulted. Five young men were convicted. All of them eventually had their convictions thrown out after serial rapist Mathias Reyes confessed to the crime, but not before the wrongfully accused served from 6 to 13 years in prison.
How could this have happened? Directed and written by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns (who wrote a book of the same name) and David McMahon, this documentary hinges primarily on interviews with the titular five: Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana Jr., Kevin Richardson and Kharey Wise. They recall detectives coaching them into confessions to a crime about which the boys, who were in the park that night, knew nothing. The videotaped confessions, the key evidence in the case, don't lie: There is no consistency in the accounts of what happened. Now, it looks like the kids said what they were told to in order to end a brutal interrogation, as the police officers promised.
"The Central Park Five" should have spent more time analyzing what New York Times reporter Jim Dwyer calls the "social moat" that separated people in late-'80s New York. After all, that's the origin of the racially motivated fear that drove the convictions, which followed a systematic presumption of guilt from cops, journalists and lawyers. One particularly incriminating clip features New York City mayor Ed Koch lamenting, "We always have to say 'alleged'" well before any conviction was in place.
The documentary also doesn't get to the root of the failure of the press, expected to see through the racial bias of police, government and itself, or why none of the 25 other teens in the park that night came forward.
Like the West Memphis Three (seen in the "Paradise Lost" series and the upcoming documentary "West of Memphis"), the Central Park Five represent just one example of citizens undermined by the system they trusted to protect them—the feverish pursuit of safety trumped reason. Among all of the case's horrors, one of the strongest is that a serial rapist ultimately cared more about the truth than the prosecution did.

Newtown to release 911 calls from school shooting
The AP will review the tapes' content and determine what might meet its standards before releasing material
By Michael Melia
Associated Press
HARTFORD, Conn.— Recordings of several 911 calls made from inside Sandy Hook Elementary during last year's school shooting are being released under court order Wednesday after a legal fight by The Associated Press.
The AP has been asking for an opportunity to review the tapes, which will now be released Wednesday to the news cooperative in addition to other media organizations. The AP will review the tapes' content and determine what might meet its standards before releasing material to subscribers.
Prosecutors opposed their release, arguing among other things that the recordings could cause the victims' families more anguish.
"We all understand why some people have strong feelings about the release of these tapes. This was a horrible crime," said Kathleen Carroll, AP executive editor and senior vice president. "It's important to remember, though, that 911 tapes, like other police documents, are public records. Reviewing them is a part of normal newsgathering in a responsible news organization."
A total of seven landline calls from inside the school to Newtown police are expected to be released.
Calls that were made from cellphones and routed to state police dispatchers are not among the tapes to be released. Those include calls from a woman who was injured in the foot and a parent who called from inside a conference room during the shooting, according to documents released last week by prosecutors. The calls are the subject of a separate, pending freedom of information request by the AP.
The gunman, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School the morning of Dec. 14 and gunned down 20 children and six educators with a semi-automatic rifle. He also killed his mother in their Newtown home before driving to the school, and he committed suicide as police arrived at the scene.
On the day of the shooting, the AP requested 911 calls and police reports, as it and other news organizations routinely do in their newsgathering.
Newtown's police department effectively ignored the AP's request for months until the news cooperative appealed to the state's Freedom of Information Commission, which said in September that the recordings should be released. The prosecutor in charge of the Newtown investigation, State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky III, had argued that releasing the tapes could prove painful to the victims' families, hurt the investigation, subject witnesses to harassment and violate the rights of survivors who deserve special protection as victims of child abuse.
A state judge dismissed those arguments last week and ordered the tapes be released Wednesday unless the state appealed.
"Release of the audio recordings will also allow the public to consider and weigh what improvements, if any, should be made to law enforcement's response to such incidents," New Britain Superior Court Judge Eliot Prescott said. "Delaying the release of the audio recordings, particularly where the legal justification to keep them confidential is lacking, only serves to fuel speculation about and undermine confidence in our law enforcement officials."
As the town prepared to release the tapes, the superintendent of Newtown schools, John Reed, advised parents to consider taking steps to limit media exposure for their families, as he did before the release last week of a prosecutor's report.

The Demon softball team was hosting Highland last night. In a game heard on KCII, the Huskies struck first in the top of the third with Kayla Schnider and Mariah Freel each getting hits that brought up Taylor Vonnahme and she singled to score two runs. Highland would add five more runs on three hits in the top of the fourth to put them up 7-0. The Demons did fight back with three runs in the fifth and rallied across two in the seventh but Highland got the win 8-5. Highland Pitcher Mariah Freel made her first start since being out with tendinitis in her arm. She pitched three innings and Katie Springer came on for the rest of the game. With a key conference doubleheader tonight the Demons also used two pitchers Maddie Bohr threw three and two thirds and Ashley Rausch came on for the rest. The Demons fall 17-12 while Highland improves to 20-12.

EUREKA, Ill. -- The baseball team went to Eureka on Tuesday, April 30, to end their season series against Eureka. The Panthers took the first two games earlier in the year, and beat Eureka again in this contest 9-6.
Greenville started the game will with a first inning score, but Eureka answered with a run of their own the following inning. Jared Souhrada and Tim Osborne helped the Panthers score four in the third inning with RBI singles, and Greenville added two more runs on sacrifices.
The score was 5-3 at the beginning of the sixth inning and by the end of the sixth Greenville was ahead 9-4. Scoring in this inning was highlighted by another Souhrada RBI single. A late scoring run in the ninth inning would not be enough for Eureka to make a comeback.
Tyler Pilcher pitched the first six innings for Greenville and threw four strikeouts.
Mitchell Cernek had three hits, three runs scored, and three stolen bases.
Greenville's season record is 19-18, and their conference record is 16-8. The Panthers have only a three game series against Principia remaining for regular season play, which they start on Friday, May 2, at Principia.

it was just some plain ole penzoil type F.
and i agree. its hard to tell if any differences were real or imagined since i went from used oil to atf. then from burned atf to oil again. i think the only way to really test it would be to run fresh 10/30 for say 30 miles, then swap it for ATF (filling it, then draining it, then refilling it again to remove as much oil as possible for a fair test) and compare them both on the same day.
ive thought about using the amsoil atf. post back after you've ran it a while. if it lasts longer i might give it a whirl. i seem to change the 10/30 whenever i change the plug (4-500 miles or so)

Mergers and acquisitions are back among MEP Giants
After a brief pause last year, MEP leaders are back in the M+A game.
If mergers and acquisitions are an indicator of economic health—and they are—then a sense of optimism appears to have returned to the Consulting-Specifying Engineer MEP Giants. Over the past year, 17 of the MEP Giants were involved in a merger or acquisition (M&A), up from 12 the prior year. The MEP Giants took a look around, made a judgment call that the worst of the storm had passed, and stepped back into the M&A game.
Domestic deals outpacing international deals
The uptick in M&A activity among the MEP Giants reflected a resurgence in overall U.S. domestic M&A activity for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms in all sectors. The total number of domestic M&A deals (deals involving a U.S.-based seller) grew 3% to a record 180 last year (see Figure 1)—its highest level since before the Great Recession. A growing stock market, increased housing starts, and lower unemployment figures all contributed to the positive economic picture in the United States. Firms that struggled to survive during the recession began to hit their stride and thrive over the most recent years. Many firms that were considering M&A prior to the recession placed those plans on hold until economic conditions and company performance improved. Conditions have now changed, with many firms seeing more project opportunities and positive indicators from clients—particularly in the private sector.
As more project opportunities and private sector dollars flowed into the market, the MEP Giants were among the firms that were ready to take advantage of the new normal. The MEP Giants deepened their mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), or fire protection engineering competencies through acquisitions of specialized services firms and also expanded their services portfolio and geographic reach with some smart mergers.
Some MEP Giants that made deals in the past year included:
- Henderson Engineers (No. 13; Kansas City, Mo.) acquired acoustic and audio visual design firm Acoustical Design Group (Kansas City, Mo.)
- Greenman-Pedersen (No. 68; Babylon, N.Y.) acquired multi-discipline engineering, surveying, and environmental service firm Abate Associates Engineers and Surveyors (Buffalo, N.Y.).
Uptick in interstate deals
If the increase in M&A activity is clue that the MEP Giants are feeling more bullish on the economy, then the uptick in deals taking place across state lines confirms it. Through the first 6 months of 2013, almost two-thirds of all deals have been interstate—that is, firms from two different states merging (see Figure 2). This is an important indicator of economic health. Deals that take place across state lines tend to be a result of a firm's expansion strategy and an indicator of confidence in the future. During the recession and through the recovery, we tracked interstate M&A activity at record lows in the 54% to 57% range. But the first half of 2013 has seen an end to that.
The prevailing sense of optimism has created a shift to an offensive M&A approach as buyers seek firms that will allow them to grow (not just defend or maintain) revenue and market share.
MEP Giant EYP (No. 31; Albany, N.Y.) has been notable for its expansion through M&A recently, completing two deals beyond its home state in 2012 and early 2013. One deal saw the merger of its energy and sustainability services division, EYP Energy, with The Weidt Group (Minnetonka, Minn.), a leading building energy and software consultancy. In another expansion—this time into the resurgent Southeast—EYP also acquired certain assets of 20-person architectural design, programming, master planning, health care planning, and interior design firm BJAC (Raleigh, N.C.).

Ithaca College senior Sport Media student Matthew Stenberg is interning with Sirius XM radio this fall through the ICNYC program. He will share some of his experiences of living and working in New York City in this blog. Check back for updates.
This entry was originally published September 13, 2012.
New York City is one of the mostly densely populated cities in the world. There are people everywhere you go and something to do at every corner.
So, while it might sound weird to say, after two weeks of exploring the city I was ready to get to work this week. I started my internship at SiriusXM NFL radio station Monday, working on a show called The Blitz. The show runs from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and is hosted by Bruce Murray and former NFL quarterback Rich Gannon.
The show starts at 11, but my work day usually starts around 10:30 a.m. When I get to the office, I check in to see if there's anything that needs to be done and then get started on work for the show. This first week I've mostly shadowed the other producers, getting into the swing of things. Today, I actually did some call screening because the show features a lot of people calling and giving their opinions. That's a significant chunk of the program, so I'll be doing that this semester.
In addition to the call screening, I'll do some audio editing with Adobe Audition, which I already know how to do, so that should be an easy transition. Eventually, I'll be running the soundboard. I've worked a little bit with the soundboard at Ithaca, so I'm familiar with the concept but the one at SIrius is three times bigger, so it's a little more complicated.
The people I work with are awesome. It's a really neat atmosphere because there are like 49 different studios in the same area at Sirius, so you never know who you're going to run into or talk to on the phone. Chris Snee of the Giants called in today. On my very first day, Larry Fitzgerald called in; Wes Welker called in; Mike Tomlin called in. Yesterday, Mike McCarthy called in. Just around Sirius I've seen Cee Lo Green, George Takei, and Gene Simmons.
Aside from work, I've been exploring the city and taking two classes. I take Direct Marketing, which meets Monday nights at 6 p.m. and Travel Writing, which is an online course. There's also this internship type class that happens every other Tuesday evening where you discuss your internship and share your experiences.
Well, I'm glad I'm getting settled in and more importantly I'm glad to have finally started my internship. I know a lot of people in the city but they're all out of school and work during the day. So, I've only been able to see them in the evening. It's nice to be back to work, interacting with my peers. Now, I feel like I'm part of the system.
I'll keep everyone updated on my semester in New York with ICNYC. Check back for more blog posts.

Religions need books because they don't have gods.
That's all.
Life stinks. I am so, so glad that there is no god. Because a god that would do all that.....That's all.
And on a practical note ... I have a cousin who is director of an Alzeimer care facility. They are finding that it's much more humane to lie, yes, lie, to alzeimer's patients about death and other losses...... Hugs to you and your family.
Life stinks.
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
I've never liked things that stop. I hate it when my favourite TV series' end, for example. Theoretically, I should be a prime candidate for religion, as the idea of an afterlife should appeal to me.Getting old is rubbish. (can't use the real word, I'm on work PC!) Your body breaking down, your mind going, no longer being able to do the things you've loved all your life..... it's a callous and heartless system. Exactly what I would expect from an impersonal universe.

We know this to be true: Shia LaBeouf is sorry. Sincerely sorry.
What for? In December, LaBeouf used work, without giving credit, by the illustrator Daniel Clowes in his short film, "HowardCantour.com."
After a storm of plagiarism allegations, LaBeouf issued an apology that read, in part: "In my excitement and naiveté as an amateur filmmaker, I got lost in the creative process and neglected to follow proper accreditation. ... I'm embarrassed that I failed to credit @danielclowes for his original graphic novella Justin M. Damiano, which served as my inspiration. ... I was truly moved by his piece of work & I knew that it would make a poignant & relevant short. I apologize to all who assumed I wrote it."
Now LaBeouf is putting on a collaborative art installation titled "#IAMSORRY" with Finnish performance artist Nastja Säde Rönkkö and painter Luke Turner in L.A.Will the exhibit be as strange as LaBeouf's behavior lately? On Sunday, the actor showed up at the Berlin premiere of Lars von Trier's "Nymphomaniac: Volume I," which features LeBeouf, wearing a black tuxedo with a paper bag over his head that read: "I Am Not Famous Anymore."
That, of course, is not an accurate statement. Fame is just turning into infamy.

See you in another 50 - what will we have accomplished by then?!?! more >
Online Inquiry
Environmental Education and outdoor experiences are an integral part of the curriculum.
We know that all children have potential and an inherent passion for learning, and that teachers have a unique opportunity to fuel that passion into a lifelong pursuit.
Escuela del Sol Elementary • Grades 1 - 6
Dr. Montessori saw children change profoundly from the Primary to the Elementary years, in how they approach each other and how they encounter their environment. This "new child" requires a special educational approach: Montessori Elementary programs build on the Primary's foundation to produce successful, confident, and joyful students.
The Junior Elementary (ages 6 to 9) and Senior Elementary (ages 9 to 12) programs inspire awe about the world, intrigue children to acquire knowledge, and help them to develop intellectually, emotionally and socially. At Escuela del Sol Elementary, fundamental skills are integrated in an interdisciplinary program to nurture creativity and enthusiasm for learning while fostering critical thinking and social responsibility. Classrooms are designed to support group and individual learning, and are equipped with a rich array of materials that stimulate intellectual curiosity and passion.
Imagination, Reason and Social Interest
Primary classes were devoted to the physical and tangible; Elementary classes use that library of ideas and sensations to explore the universe. The elementary student is ready to use imagination as a powerful learning tool. Through stories ("Great Stories"), impressionistic charts and evocative materials, students research, investigate, study and work together to develop socially and academically. Through exploration and discovery, students find relationships and order in the world.
Children are particularly well suited at the elementary level to work in groups. Having developed a sense of self, they are ready and prepared to contribute toward greater work. There is no part of society that does not require working as part of a group to accomplish great things. Escuela del Sol strongly encourages this type of group work because more than a century of Montessori education demonstrates that this approach provides the foundation that is essential for every person to best participate and contribute to society.
A Sense of Justice and Community
During the elementary years Dr. Montessori observed that children are in a sensitive period for moral reasoning. This is a crucial time to integrate character development, mediation and conflict resolution skills. Learning in an environment of kindness, courtesy, self-respect and consideration for others is crucial to the child's moral development, sense of dignity and academic success.
Elementary children typically develop a strong interest in ethics and "fair play." The same impulse that led the Primary child to insist "help me to do it by myself" for physical tasks - putting on a coat, carrying a chair, or opening a door - now moves into the moral realm. Elementary students want to independently investigate rules of behavior and roles in a group. Their questions move from the Primary "What is that?" to the Elementary "Why is that?" Cause and effect, connections and consequences, are of paramount interest. Teachers, with the aide of classroom materials, direct these intellectual and social explorers to the interrelated roles in any society or ecosystem: for example, the give and take that allows for a balance between plants and animals, predator and prey, or farmers and merchants.
As in the younger classes, students learn by doing. Each Elementary class holds regular meetings, not only as opportunities to share work and research but also as a chance to work out social problems in a fair and reasonable fashion. Teachers act as moderators and facilitators, helping students learn how to negotiate solutions that respect everyone's thoughts and feelings to maintain a smoothly functioning classroom community - and develop real-world skills of compromise and diplomacy that will serve them well for years to come.
Lifelong Learners
Escuela's Elementary program harnesses the developmental hunger for information by throwing open the doors to the whole of human knowledge: the history of ancient civilizations, the mechanics of language, biological and geological classification, the intricacies of physical and political geography, the methods of mathematics from basic operations through cube roots and basic algebra.
The Elementary classroom offers the child more than any curriculum requires; and, since the classroom encourages exploration by individuals and small groups who then report back to the whole community, the children create a rich culture of discovery in which they are constantly exposed to a wide variety of information. With creative thought, individual expression and joy as integral to a learning environment, students develop an appreciation that leads to a lifelong zest for learning.
Recent Studies
Two recent studies addressed the academic abilities of Montessori children compared with traditionally educated peers. The first study, conducted by academic psychologists Angeline Lillard (University of Virginia) and Nicole Else-Quest (University of Wisconsin) and published in Science magazine (Sept. 2006), found that Montessori children at age five scored significantly higher on measurements of math, reading and executive functions. Young Montessori children were also more advanced in moral development, demonstrating a greater understanding of justice and fairness. At age 12, Montessori children exhibited greater creativity and use of more complex language skills, responded more positively to social dilemmas and felt a greater sense of community at their school.
A second study published in The American Journal of Education (May 2005) (Rathunde and Csikszentmihalyi) tested the motivation and quality of experience of Montessori and traditional school children of middle school age. Montessori children reported feeling greater energy, passion, motivation and interest in academic activities at school than did their peers at traditional middle schools.

Stadium officials warn fans to stay off CWS field
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Channeling his best Clint Eastwood, the head of the agency that operates the College World Series stadium issued a warning Wednesday to fans tempted to dash onto the field during play: "Get off my lawn."
Roger Dixon, president of the Metropolitan Entertainment and Convention Authority, said security personnel have made it a priority this year to keep fans from disrupting games at TD Ameritrade Park.
"While we understand this may be viewed as just having fun, we want guests to understand that it is a safety and security issue and fans on the field cannot be tolerated," Dixon said.
The CWS begins Friday and runs through June 25 or 26.
Officials for decades have winced at beach balls floating out of the stands onto the field. But they want to nip what has been an increasing number of fan-on-the-field incidents in recent years.
The breaking point came last year when several young fans hopped the 8-foot outfield fence in the seventh inning of Game 1 of the finals. According to media reports, six people were ticketed, including a 17-year-old girl who patted the backsides of two players while grounds crew members and security personnel chased her.
Omaha city prosecutor David Smalheiser said trespassers face up to six months in jail and a $500 fine.
New signs warning fans to stay off the field have been placed around the ballpark.
Dixon said it was discovered after the fact that plans for last year's CWS finals incident had spread on Twitter. He said his security staff will be monitoring social media this year to determine if similar stunts are planned.
"I just think they're kids who get hopped up," Dixon said. "They're out here tweeting back and forth, talking about it, egging each other on. So we will start watching that now and when we see something like that building up, you'll probably see a bigger presence of security out there."
NCAA vice president of championships and alliances Dennis Poppe said fans who try to draw attention to themselves by running onto the field are spoiling what is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many players. Poppe said he hopes the warnings dissuade potential pranksters.
"Frankly, you can't stop idiots," he said, "but you can do everything you can to make sure there isn't an interruption to the games."

The federal government's position in the Arizona case is, I think, outrageous. The Obama administration has decided to abdicate its most basic constitutional responsibility by failing to enforce the nation's immigration laws, and now it demands that the states do nothing to protect themselves against the invasion of illegals that federal nonfeasance inevitably encourages. This attack on the most fundamental police powers of the states is, to my knowledge, unprecedented. Michael Ramirez sums up the untenable position in which the Obama administration seeks to put state and local law enforcement. Click to enlarge:

The following contains instructions on how to configure the MATLAB Parallel Computing Toolbox for use at OSC. These instructions assume that you have the MATLAB Parallel Computing Toolbox installed on your desktop computer. For a tutorial on using the MATLAB Parallel Computing Toolbox at OSC, click here.
Once connected, files on the remote system will be displayed on the right-hand side under "Remote Site," as shown below. Scroll to the "matlab" directory, double-click it, then double-click the jobs directory. This directory contains subdirectories such as "Job1," "Job2," "Job3," etc. Once you are done running your jobs, you can delete these directories to clear up disk space.
- Download the necessary configuration files from here. Save these files in a directory such as C:\Documents and Settings\<your_local_username>. This directory will be referred to in the proceeding instructions as <OSC_CONFIG_DIR>.
- Start MATLAB on your desktop. Within MATLAB, use the cd command to move to the directory in which the configuration files are stored, i.e. cd('<OSC_CONFIG_DIR>').
- Unzip the configuration files using the command unzip osctools.zip.
- Use the cd command to change to the relative directory osctools\common, e.g. cd 'osctools\common'.
- Run the command oscsetup. A prompt like the one below will appear. Enter your OSC username and click "OK."
- Text similar to the following will appear: "In order to complete the setup process, we need to connect to glenn.osc.edu. You will be prompted for your OSC password in order to connect. Press return to continue." Press enter. You may warned about an RSA fingerprint, as shown below.
Click "yes." A prompt for your password similar to the one shown below will then appear.
Enter your OSC password and click "OK."
- Test the connection by executing an ssh command with your username and the hostname glenn.osc.edu, e.g. conn = ssh('humphrey','glenn.osc.edu'). You may again be warned about an RSA fingerprint. Click "yes." You may also be prompted for your password again. Enter your OSC password and click "OK."
- To test the configuration, run the command job = pctdemo. This runs the function pctdemo found the directory <OSC_CONFIG_DIR>\osctools\demo, which requests that a 1x1 matrix of random values, a 2x2 matrix of random values, and a 3x3 matrix of values be generated in parallel. Once the function is executed, MATLAB should output something similar to
followed by additional information.
- Check the status of your job by using the command get(job,'State'). The result should be queued, running, or finished. Continue running this command periodically until the result is finished.
- Get the results of the job using the command outputs = getAllOutputArguments(job). In this case, the result should be a 3-by-1 cell array. Each result can be obtained using the commands outputs{1}, outputs{2}, and outputs{3}.
- The MATLAB Parallel Computing toolbox creates a lot of extra files in order to run a job. Once you have the outputs from your job, you can clean up the job files on your local machine using the command destroy(job).
- Once you are finished using the Parallel Computing Toolbox, you can close the ssh connection using the command disconnect(conn).
- The command destroy(job) will also get rid of files on Glenn. However, you may occasionally forget to issue this command after a job is finished. You can simply delete files from finished jobs on your local machine. To delete the job files on the remote machine, log into the cluster using a file transfer utility such as the Filezilla client (http://filezilla-project.org). To use Filezilla on Glenn, run it and under the "File" menu, select "Site Manager." In the site manager window, as shown below, press the "New Site" button, and label the new site, e.g. Glenn. Under "Site details," use glenn.osc.edu for "Host," select "SFTP using SSH2" for "Servertype," select "Normal" for "Logontype," type your OSC username for "User," and select "Don't save password" for better security. Once you have done this, press the "Connect" button to connect to Glenn. You will be prompted to enter your OSC password. You may also be prompted to accept a host key; press "Yes."
Problem: After connecting to glenn.osc.edu, I try to run the command job = pctdemo, but MATLAB says:
??? Job submission did not occur because user supplied
SubmitFcn (oscSimpleJobSubmitFcn) failed with the following error:
Error using ==> oscSimpleJobSubmitFcn>iCopyFilesToCluster at 119
Please connect to remote host before submitting a job
Solution: The problem usually occurs if you disconnect then reconnect. Restarting MATLAB and connecting to glenn.osc.edu again should correct the problem.

Korean War veterans honored in TiltonBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
August 13. 2013 1:00PM
TILTON – After several speakers thanked Korean War veterans for their service and 62 of them were honored with certificates and medals at the New Hampshire Veterans Home Tuesday, a veteran in the crowd made a remark that summed up how many attending felt.
"This should have happened 50 years ago," said the resident of the home, who did not want to be identified.
Before Army Lt. Col. Dennis Snelling presented the awards to 54 men and 8 women veterans, he acknowledged that feeling.
"Many of you that returned from Korea received nothing, and your generation just went back to work," Snelling said. "But you made our country great, and you made the Republic of Korea great."
A video from the South Korean government was played that showed images of the war while praising American Korean War vets for helping to keep the country free and allowing it to become the 10th largest economic power in the world.
"We still remember your gallantry and sacrifice," a voice in the video said. "My dearest friend, you will always be our hero."
One of the female veterans, Gladys Reno, 88, of Alexandria, was a Navy nurse serving in a medical unit near the fighting. She was thankful, and humble, about receiving the honor.
"It's nice to get this," she said. "I didn't think of it as a tough experience, it was just something we had to do. I'm glad I had the chance to do it for Uncle Sam."
Norman Wardman of Milford, who said he's "70-something," said the honor "feels good."
"It took a long time, though," he said.

Turkish Ridged Flat Bread (Pide)
First, let me say how happy I am to be baking bread again, instead of pie in a cereal bowl, especially when Pinknest made the same pie and it turned out perfectly. Not that I begrudge her this pie success. Not at all.
Second, I didn't blog last week, but not because I was in a jealous snit. Although perhaps I was. I was visiting my daughter, who's in her first year of residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. (Yes, that's a Frida Kahlo picture). Detroit is not only famous for Henry Ford and his eponymous hospital, but also for the Diego Rivera room at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
But back in Minneapolis, there was bread to be made.
Jim and I were invited by a friend for a "turkey dinner." At first I thought she was going to have Thanksgiving early, but she and another friend had spent three weeks in Turkey last spring, and they wanted us to experience some authentic Turkish food, at least as authentic as it could be several thousand miles away. I said I'd bring bread. I'd already made simit, alternately called a "Turkish croissant" or a "Turkish bagel," but I'd already made that and I wanted something different.
So I Googled Turkish bread, and got this great recipe from Paula Wolfert from the May 2007 edition of Food and Wine.
How could you not like it? It starts with a sponge that rests and rises overnight,
so you know it will have great flavor;
it's a recipe from Paula Wolfert, who is the queen of Mediterranean cooking, and it's a flat bread that puffs up during baking.
Also, it's got a white flour to whole wheat flour ratio of about 7 to 1. (I'm sorry, I know that I should be a bigger fan of 100% whole-wheat bread, but I really like this better. It makes a stiff dough, but not too stiff to handle.
After the bread slowly rises, it's divided into four pieces, each weighing 267 grams. (Well, that part's not in the directions, but when I weigh things, I feel like I'm in charge. Maybe if I'd weighed the pie dough? No--forget the pie dough, already!)
Each piece of dough is flattened into a shape more or less oval and more or less eight inches by ten inches. Then you make ridges with your fingers and sprinkle the top with sesame seeds (or nigella seeds, if you have them, which I didn't). The ridges are very definite in the unbaked dough,
but it puffed up enough during baking to make them less so.
I'm sure this bread has a name other than Turkish Ridged Flat Bread, and I wish I knew what it was, but it was quite good--crispy and chewy at the same time. (Thanks to knowledgeable reader Aparna, I now know it's called pide). The recipe made four loaves of flat bread, and each of them had a different shape and slightly different texture because of the differences in length and height.
Okay, so it's bread and not pie. So it'll never make it on a dessert tray, unlike Pinknest's beautiful rum cream pie. But it's an honest loaf of bread, with good, honest American small-town values. (Never mind. I forgot for a minute that the Republican National Convention has left town. I don't have to say that any more).

dear marie......queen of bread, let that bowl of pie go already! :) you were creative enough to recognize that it would probably taste good even if its shape and texture was a bit quirky, so it was really a success, sort of. the bread looks very interesting, so maybe i should try bread baking again?
what was included in the rest of the turkey dinner???
- Aparna said...
This has come out very well indeed. I do believe Turkish Flatbread is called Pide.
- Melinda said...
I agree with Gini. You are the amateur queen of bread making and that is really saying something!
Your Turkish flat bread looks great!
- breadbasketcase said...
Aw, I'm just having fun. I don't even feel bad about my liquified pie. And I love my Turkish flatbread. The rest of the dinner was excellent--heavy on the eggplant, which Jim has always claimed to hate, but he admitted that he liked everything. Two appetizers, one a caponata and the other one goat cheese, walnuts, figs, and olives. Eggplant stuffed with rice and sausage, the aforementioned bread, white beans and tomatoes, and a cucumber, tomato and yogurt salad. Dessert was baklava and two other pastries that were not identified by name--one a sort of cream of wheat and honey thing and the other a phyllo dough filled with cheese and topped with pistachios.
Thanks for the information--for some reason, I feel much better knowing the name.
Well, it's always nice to be called queen of something, even if it is an amateur queen. And when is your next blog entry coming? No entry yet for pecan doorstop (oops, I mean bread) or for rum cream pie. You're falling behind, my friend.
- Melinda said...
(I know.)
- evil cake lady said...
Yes BBC, you are definitely the Queen of Bread! Your flat bread looks really yummy. All that ever gets served at middle eastern restaurants here is pita bread. I wonder how this Turkish flat bread differs in taste and texture?
Now we just have to wait for Melinda's pie...hello? Melinda?
What shall we bake next BBC?
- breadbasketcase said...
No pressure.
The Turkish flat bread is a lot different than pita--it's thicker and has more of a "bread"-like texture. It's thin enough to tear apart, like pita, but not so thin that it balloons into a pocket.
It's your turn, so choose a project. I'm game for anything (that sounds like I'm leaving myself wide open for something I don't want to do).

edesia on soup this monday.....see you there?
- Jude said...
Very nice.. I love the rows of seeds in the baked product. Paula Wolfert is always a great source for recipes.
- breadbasketcase said...
I liked the rows of seeds too. I agree about Paula Wolfert, although some of her recipes are a bit intimidating. This one wasn't scary at all.
This bread is usually eaten with honey or a melted butter brushed/dipped. I used to eat this in Turkey with a spicy Turkish chicken dish. Can't recall the name of it now. But the loaves where as long as the table (8') and served 6 folks with dinner.

Absolute monarchy
An absolute monarchy is a country that is ruled by a monarch, with little or no democratic or other forms of limitation to his powers. Quite rare in the modern world, examples include: Saudi Arabia and, until recently, Kuwait and Nepal.
Contrary to popular opinion, absolute monarchies were never the norm in Medieval Europe, where some form of representative bodies always tended to exist. What happened was that after the end of the medieval period, some monarchies sought to increase their power, the prime example being France, which had indeed become an absolute monarchy by the 17th century. In Great Britain (from 1801 the United Kingdom), on the other hand, went in totally the opposite direction, and the monarchs were gradually stripped of their powers until very few remain today.
The Roman Empire, though it started out as a republic, evolved into an absolute military dictatorship. Whether it was ever a hereditary monarchy, however, is debatable at best. While certain families did manage to found dynasties that lasted for two or three generations, the vast majority of emperors either came to power by a military coup, or in a few cases were appointed on merit by their predecessor.

As announced on the Haiku website and reported by IsComputerOn.com, Eric Petit has announced the development of a VMWare graphics driver for Haiku. Based on Be's driver sample code and code inspired by the X.org driver, Eric's driver so far implements RECT_BLIT and cursor functions (the latter are disabled as they are still buggy). The driver is already working as can be confirmed from this screenshot. On his initial post to the Haiku mailing list, Eric is asking for feedback, and has made the sources available in this tarball for those brave souls who would like to test the drivers.

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake learned on Sunday that it will face LA Galaxy in the Western Conference Semifinals.
The second-seeded Claret-and-Cobalt will take on the third-seeded Galaxy in the first leg of the West Semis at 7:00 p.m. MT on Sunday at StubHub Center. Sunday's match will be broadcast live on ESPN. RSL will host LA at Rio Tinto Stadium in the series' decisive second leg. The date, start time and broadcast information for the second leg have yet to be determined.
Tickets to the second leg of the Western Conference Semifinal are now on sale to current and 2014 RSL PRIDE Season Ticket Holders. Tickets to the second leg will go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. MT on Monday. Fans can purchase tickets at the Rio Tinto Stadium box office, over the phone at 801-727-2700 and online at www.RealSaltLake.com/Tickets.
Real Salt Lake was 1-2-0 against LA in the 2013 regular season. LA took the first match between the sides, scoring two early goals to beat RSL 2-0 at Rio Tinto Stadium on April 27. The Claret-and-Cobalt took a measure of revenge in the second meeting, downing the Galaxy 3-1 in Utah on June 8. RSL fell victim to a hat trick from Galaxy FW Robbie Keane in the final meeting between the sides to lose 4-2 at LA on Aug. 17.
This series will mark the third playoff meeting between Real Salt Lake and LA. RSL and LA have split their previous two playoff matchups, with the Claret-and-Cobalt beating the Galaxy in penalties to take home MLS Cup 2009 before LA downed an injury-plagued RSL side 3-1 in the 2011 Western Conference Final.
The first-seeded Portland Timbers will take on the winner of Wednesday's Western Conference Knockout Game between Seattle Sounders FC and Colorado Rapids in the other Western Conference Semifinal. The winner of the RSL-LA series will take on the winner of that series in the two-legged Western Conference Final, which will be played later this month.

Assemblyman John Ceretto, R-C-I-Lewiston, in an effort to protect the public from senseless acts of violence, is co-sponsoring a bill to crack down on a dangerous new game played by youths called the "Knockout Game." As reported by CBS, the "Knockout Game" occurs when a group of people, usually youths, dares a person in their group to sucker punch a random person in the street and try to knock them out with one hit. This game presents the risk of serious injury or death. The bill Ceretto is co-sponsoring seeks to discourage youths from playing the game by imposing strict punishments.
"Anybody who is thinking about playing the 'Knockout Game' needs to think twice, because of the damage they can do to another person," Ceretto said. "I encourage all youths who are considering engaging in this dangerous act to channel their energy into more productive pursuits, such as athletics.
"In order to discourage this senseless violence, I am going to co-sponsor legislation to dramatically increase the penalties for engaging in this pointless game."
The proposed legislation would require that any person, regardless of age, who is convicted of playing the "Knockout Game" would face up to 25 years in prison. The legislation would ensure youths who participate in this act are sentenced as adults. Those present when the action takes place would also be held accountable.
"Protecting innocent people living their day-to-day lives is one of the most basic responsibilities of government," Ceretto said. "The 'Knockout Game' is a dangerous threat to innocent people, and it is our responsibility to stop it before it gets out of hand. I am looking forward to passing this legislation to protect people from being injured by the 'Knockout Game.' "

ROCCAT Kone Pure Optical Gaming Mouse Review
ROCCAT Kone Pure Optical Gaming Mouse Introduction:
ROCCAT was first introduced here on OCC in review form back in October of 2011, and as it turns out, it was one of my reviews as well: the ROCCAT Kulo 7.1 USB Headset [+]. At the time, I had never heard of this German-based company even though it had already been around for four previous years! I think back on all the products I have reviewed from ROCCAT and get a bit of deja vu as I look at the ROCCAT Kone Pure Optical Gaming Mouse. In May of this year, I took a look at the ROCCAT Kone Pure, the laser version of this mouse. The mouse has the same body shape, so at first touch I'm having familiar feelings on this mouse already.
The ROCCAT Kone Pure Optical is similar in design to the well liked Kone Pure. The addition to this version is the ultra-precise, true 4000 DPI Pro-Optic (R3) optical sensor. It's been a full five years since the original Kone series was born and as a "hat tip to community feedback" the Kone Pure Optical was birthed. Of course, the now well-known Easy-Shift[+], Talk, and Talk FX features are rolled into this new addition to the lineup. With a sleek two-tone body color and pre-approved light-up logo, the Pure Optical comes to us today for further scrutiny. Let's see whether this mouse, nearly five years in the making, is the purest Kone?
ROCCAT Kone Pure Optical Gaming Mouse Closer Look:
ROCCAT, at least from my personal time with its products, has come to be known for its fancy packaging. The boxes are almost always in full color with an image of the product right on the front of the box. You tend to know more information about the product before ever opening the box – let alone before ever taking it to the checkout line. Though I generally despise this over-done style of boxing and applaud the very plain Janes, I do see how this could be extremely useful if I were actually buying it in-store.
The ROCCAT Kone Pure Optical doesn't stray from this style one bit. The front shows off the mouse along with some of its dominating features: 4000 DPI, EASY-SHIFT[+], Multi-Color, and the newer ROCCAT Titan Wheel. The back of the box goes to show off a bit more of the mouse with a near isometric view. More key features of Kone Pure Optical jut off from the image; a braided cable, soft-touch surface, and 32-bit Turbo Core V2 Processor are just a few of such items. The text below rattles off more details and is followed up by nine boxes of translated text. The side reads off more detail of the mouse itself along with supporting images. The optical sensor is glorified among the color lighting options, software achievements, and ROCCAT Talk features (which is really neat if you have other ROCCAT products). The other side of the box is cut inward for a flap, which has a blue arrow and word "OPEN" pointing to it. I think I should listen to such commands.
Opening up the flap reveals not only the mouse in a formed plastic shell, but again more images and key points of the mouse. You can actually fit your hand on the mouse to get an almost "real-feel" for the mouse before ever opening the box itself. If nothing else, you at least get an idea of size. The images detail the 7+2 EASY-SHIFT[+] feature, as well as plausible examples for both media use and the ever popular MMORPG, World of Warcraft. The box reads "Fearless Design: Sleek, clean and muscular. A joy to hold and behold." It's a nice little tag to go with the mouse – but I will have to argue the "muscular" claim even before I pull it from the box, as this mouse is a baby in size! However, you could argue that it has a lot of muscle internally – I guess we will see. Without weights or any extra items to include, the out-of-box shot is quite simple: a mouse and its install guide. Keep reading to see more!

HONOLULU (AP) — One of the first things the pilot in a fatal crash off the Hawaiian island of Molokai did after being released from the hospital was climb into the cockpit of an airplane.
"I guess it's part of the healing process," Clyde Kawasaki said Tuesday in a phone interview from his Kapolei home, describing how he sat at the controls of a Cessna Grand Caravan that's identical to the one that crashed.
"I got back into the airplane but did not go for a flight." he said.
Hawaii Health Director Loretta Fuddy, 65, was onboard and died after last week's crash. Seven other passengers survived without any major injuries when Kawasaki glided the plane to a water landing.
Flying again will require waiting for medical clearances, but Kawasaki said he is eager to get back into the sky.
"It's a very comfortable environment for me," he said. "Eventually I will."
Kawasaki, 60, hit his head on the control panel during the landing after the Makani Kai Air flight took off from Kalaupapa and quickly lost power.
He declined to discuss the crash.
A survivor who swam to shore has praised how Kawasaki was able to maneuver the plane to land on its belly in rough waters. C. Phillip Hollstein Jr. said he credits Kawasaki for being the reason nearly everyone survived.
"We're very proud that he handled this the way he did," Makani Kai owner Richard Schuman said Tuesday.
Kawasaki made sure everyone was safely out and wearing a life jacket before he left the aircraft, Schuman said. Kawasaki will be welcomed back on the job when he wants to start flying again, Schuman said.
An autopsy was conducted Friday on Fuddy but results were not yet available, Maui County spokesman Rod Antone said.
Fuddy's body was flown to Honolulu on Monday. Her funeral is scheduled for Saturday.
The National Transportation Safety Board hopes to pull the plane out of the water after initially thinking it wouldn't be recoverable.
"I'm highly motivated to recover that aircraft," Schuman said. "We don't know what happened. We don't know why."
If the plane is recovered, Makani Kai staff will remove the engine under the supervision of NTSB officials, Schuman said.
It will be placed in a box and sealed, with the NTSB likely taking it back to the factory of engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney, where engineers will take it apart to find out what happened, he said.
