In case you missed it, or would like to read the transcript, the following is the State of the Union Address by President Barack Obama, as prepared for delivery, on February 12, 2013.
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, fellow citizens:
Fifty-one years ago, John F. Kennedy declared to this Chamber that "the Constitution makes us not rivals for power but partners for progress…It is my task," he said, "to report the State of the Union – to improve it is the task of us all."
Tonight, thanks to the grit and determination of the American people, there is much progress to report. After a decade of grinding war, our brave men and women in uniform are coming home. After years of grueling recession, our businesses have created over six million new jobs. We buy more American cars than we have in five years, and less foreign oil than we have in twenty. Our housing market is healing, our stock market is rebounding, and consumers, patients, and homeowners enjoy stronger protections than ever before.
Together, we have cleared away the rubble of crisis, and can say with renewed confidence that the state of our union is stronger.
But we gather here knowing that there are millions of Americans whose hard work and dedication have not yet been rewarded. Our economy is adding jobs – but too many people still can't find full-time employment. Corporate profits have rocketed to all-time highs – but for more than a decade, wages and incomes have barely budged.
It is our generation's task, then, to reignite the true engine of America's economic growth – a rising, thriving middle class.
It is our unfinished task to restore the basic bargain that built this country – the idea that if you work hard and meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or who you love.
It is our unfinished task to make sure that this government works on behalf of the many, and not just the few; that it encourages free enterprise, rewards individual initiative, and opens the doors of opportunity to every child across this great nation.
The American people don't expect government to solve every problem. They don't expect those of us in this chamber to agree on every issue. But they do expect us to put the nation's interests before party. They do expect us to forge reasonable compromise where we can. For they know that America moves forward only when we do so together; and that the responsibility of improving this union remains the task of us all.
Our work must begin by making some basic decisions about our budget – decisions that will have a huge impact on the strength of our recovery.
Over the last few years, both parties have worked together to reduce the deficit by more than $2.5 trillion – mostly through spending cuts, but also by raising tax rates on the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans. As a result, we are more than halfway towards the goal of $4 trillion in deficit reduction that economists say we need to stabilize our finances.
Now we need to finish the job. And the question is, how?
In 2011, Congress passed a law saying that if both parties couldn't agree on a plan to reach our deficit goal, about a trillion dollars' worth of budget cuts would automatically go into effect this year. These sudden, harsh, arbitrary cuts would jeopardize our military readiness. They'd devastate priorities like education, energy, and medical research. They would certainly slow our recovery, and cost us hundreds of thousands of jobs. That's why Democrats, Republicans, business leaders, and economists have already said that these cuts, known here in Washington as "the sequester," are a really bad idea.
Now, some in this Congress have proposed preventing only the defense cuts by making even bigger cuts to things like education and job training; Medicare and Social Security benefits.
That idea is even worse. Yes, the biggest driver of our long-term debt is the rising cost of health care for an aging population. And those of us who care deeply about programs like Medicare must embrace the need for modest reforms – otherwise, our retirement programs will crowd out the investments we need for our children, and jeopardize the promise of a secure retirement for future generations.
But we can't ask senior citizens and working families to shoulder the entire burden of deficit reduction while asking nothing more from the wealthiest and most powerful. We won't grow the middle class simply by shifting the cost of health care or college onto families that are already struggling, or by forcing communities to lay off more teachers, cops, and firefighters. Most Americans – Democrats, Republicans, and Independents – understand that we can't just cut our way to prosperity. They know that broad-based economic growth requires a balanced approach to deficit reduction, with spending cuts and revenue, and with everybody doing their fair share. And that's the approach I offer tonight.
On Medicare, I'm prepared to enact reforms that will achieve the same amount of health care savings by the beginning of the next decade as the reforms proposed by the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles commission. Already, the Affordable Care Act is helping to slow the growth of health care costs. The reforms I'm proposing go even further. We'll reduce taxpayer subsidies to prescription drug companies and ask more from the wealthiest seniors. We'll bring down costs by changing the way our government pays for Medicare, because our medical bills shouldn't be based on the number of tests ordered or days spent in the hospital – they should be based on the quality of care that our seniors receive. And I am open to additional reforms from both parties, so long as they don't violate the guarantee of a secure retirement. Our government shouldn't make promises we cannot keep – but we must keep the promises we've already made. [Read more…] about State of the Union Address by President Barack Obama – Transcript

The universe (or one of my co-workers) was sending me a message when a book titled "Say This, Not That" landed on my desk.
Subtitled "A Foolproof Guide to Effective Interpersonal Communication" (Tarcher/Penguin), the book is written by psychotherapist Carl Alasko and doesn't arrive in stores until January. But in a bit of fortuitous timing, I got an advance proof.
I call the timing fortuitous because it coincides with my son, Will, entering that phase of age 4 that leaves you wondering if someone slipped you a hallucinogen.
"I'm thirsty."
Here's some orange juice, sweetie.
I thought … didn't you just …
A lot of thoughts are left dangling during this phase, since the aggrieved child's yelling rarely subsides long enough for the adult's formation of a complete sentence.
It's fine. The experts say it's normal, something about a newfound awareness of how little power he wields, mixed with an intense desire to become a superhero, compounded by the daily disappointment of waking up, yet again, not a superhero.
Still, I welcome any and all tips on communicating with my young Bobby Knight.
"Each two-page scene will demonstrate the difference between words that will start another conflict that pushes you further away from happiness, or help create a successful interaction that leads to more intimacy," Alasko writes.
I searched for the two-page scene wherein the 4-year-old berates the 39-year-old for suggesting he wear socks. Not there. But I did stumble upon the truest words ever strung together in the name of parenting advice:
"Parenting's most constant task is to resist yielding to the first emotion that surfaces." (Don't act like your child, in other words.)
This is stunningly good, clear guidance. It also takes a lot of options off the table.
It prevents you, for example, from sending your children to live with your sister-in-law until they turn 19. It also prevents you from yelling back with equal fervor, which won't, after all, lead to happiness or intimacy.
But Alasko got me thinking about yielding to my more charitable emotions: love, joy, gratitude, whichrarely surface first when I deal with a tyrant.
In that spirit, I offer three "Try This, Not That" methods that work for me every time. Except for the times they don't, which is, like, half of the times.
Try singing, not talking. I might as well be chatting up the Queen's Guards on some morning commutes. No topic can surmount the mental wall of grievances my kids have built against me. ("Woke us up." "Made us wear socks.")
Singing, though, works wonders. We've salvaged some pretty frosty drives by firing up "Witch Doctor" (the 1998 version by the Danish band Cartoons) and singing our heads off. Ridiculous rules help: "Sing with the left side of your mouth!" "Clap your feet!"
Try laughing, not scolding. My son was so mad the other night he pulled back his little leg and kicked me in the shin. His face registered immediate shock. I laughed — by accident, more than anything. He just looked so ridiculous. I said, "Did you just kick me?" He dissolved in laughter. I dissolved in laughter. He hugged me. He hasn't kicked me again.
Try making it look hard, not easy. Resist, also, appearing as though your children are always angelic and your permission slips are always signed and your fridge is always stocked.
First, nobody likes you when you're perfect. They marvel at you, but they don't really like you. Second, nobody offers to help you when you're perfect. They figure you are capable and systematic, and they will just get in your way if they step in with a casserole or baby-sitting.
Disabuse them of this notion by telling the truth. Admit your defeats. Talk about the tantrums. Beg for mercy.
You might get some help. You'll probably get some commiserating. And I know you'll get more laughter, which is always worth yielding to.

I kinda like having another option when going into a convenience store. Let's face it, the big 2 have run out of ideas, they are no longer innovators, they are followers. They wait for a trend to develop, then follow it. Innovation has been set aside by the big 2 and has been replaced by greed. Why give consumers anything new when we can just have line extensions every year of Mt.Dew/Pepsi/Sprite/Coke and produce those brands in every package imaginable. The well has run dry at Coke and Pepsi. Why develop new ideas when they can just sit back and wait for other companies to do so, then just buy them, Sobe, Starbucks line, Tropicana, Gatorade, Quaker, Rockstar, Monster, Bravo?, Arizona?, etc. etc.
Jones has some nice products, some wacky flavors, but the bottom line is I don't feel cheated when I plunk down $1.00-$1.29 for one of their beverages. I don't drink them every day, but I like the option. It's kinda nice to enter a store and see some Jones in a cooler, instead of the standard, Pepsi door, Coke door, Snapple door, Gatorade door, water door.
Who knows or even cares how big or small the Jones Soda Company ends up, but for now, I'm content to bypass 72 facings of Mountain Dew (Dew-Diet Dew-Caffeine Free Dew-Diet Caffeine Free Dew-Code Red Dew-Diet Code Red Dew-Livewire Dew-Pitch Black Dew-Pitch Black Dew II-Electrocution Dew-Baja Blast Dew-Everything but the kitchen sink Dew)....to get to a nice cold Jones Soda.

Target sells 12pk canes of some of the Jones flavors including my favorite...Strawberry Lime YUM!!!!!Keep me posted about any Sparkling MISTICs!!!
you can only get those 12 packs at target they have an exlusive deal with jones to sell the 12 packs only at target stores. that shows you how much the company has grown. target is one of the biggest retailers in the us. that says a lot if you ask me. jones is awesome my favorite is the green apple and mf grape.
Once you experience some of the flavored ma and pa sodas (in glass bottles of course) you will not go back to Jones.

Senate Likely to Vote Soon on Keystone Approval, Democrats Say
Legislation Designed to Force Approval of Pipeline and Bypass Obama Administration
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday he was prepared to bring a measure approving the Keystone XL pipeline to the Senate floor, despite the Obama administration's reluctance to decide its fate during an election year.
Supporters were still searching for the handful of votes needed for such a bill to pass the Senate, but they were energized by the prospect of a floor vote. The Republican-controlled House strongly supports the pipeline....

LFH takes a look at the ways Sony stumbled and missed a step in the Vita's early days, delving into their flawed marketing and game announcements, lack of big IPs, annoying updates and whether you should buy a Vita. - PSLSxGR
I love my PS3 but man, the Vita doesn't interest me in the slightest.
I've already got a PlayStation console to play all the great titles, why do I need a semi-portable one?
I think the Vita will have a good holiday season, but summer will be bone dry.
The software lineup already looks like a shriveled up corpse and it's only been 2 months since launch.
The software lineup is so far great . Problem is , it will be devoid of major news for a while , bare a few exceptions .
For once it would have helped to have less launch titles and those distilled from feb to May , instead of having it almost whole , and little else afterward , beyond looking forward , in the immediate , to stuff like Gravity daze in June
It's gonna be a dry summer , as expected with most platforms , especially so on vita , even in japan with mostly psp stuff and Persona 4 to look forward to . Not a bad thing actually , since it will allows to catch on over 30 potential good vita games since launch , that were otherwise ignored .
The bad news is , it leaves the Vita out of the immediate newsfront till e3 , stuck with the rabbid media dogs on its heel and drooling without reasons over tablets and phones .
Gravity Rush should've been a North American launch title.

The new year started off with a bang for police as they responded to reports of a large fight with shots fired on Main Street early Tuesday morning.
Police later arrested six people in connection with the fight, and confiscated several weapons — including a handgun and machete — and what they described as a large quantity of drugs.
The fight was reported at 1:43 a.m. in the area of 731 Main St. Witnesses said that a man involved in the fight fired a gun and then fled in a red Toyota, according to a statement issued by police.
As officers arrived, the red Toyota was seen traveling north on Main Street toward the downtown area, and police stopped it in front of 663 Main St.
Upon noticing several passengers in the vehicle, officers initiating the stop called additional officers for assistance.
Six people inside the Toyota were removed from the car and police searched the car for weapons. A Walther .22 caliber handgun was found in the rear passenger seat. Police said they also found shotgun shells, ammunition for the handgun, and an expandable baton, a machete, a knife, large bags of marijuana and baggies of mushrooms.
The driver of the Toyota, Carlos Sanchez, 24, of 72 Granite St., Webster, admitted that he was involved in the fight and had visible facial injuries, including a swollen left eye and lacerations to his head and face. Mr. Sanchez was treated at the scene by Worcester EMS.
Mr. Sanchez was arrested and charged with discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, improperly storing a firearm, carrying a dangerous weapon, possession of a Class C substance (mushrooms) with intent to distribute, possession of an open container of alcohol and carrying a dangerous weapon.
The passengers in Mr. Sanchez's car were also arrested and all were charged with possession of a loaded firearm, possession of ammunition without a firearm identification card, two counts of possession of dangerous weapons (an expandable baton and machete), possession of a Class C substance (mushrooms) with intent to distribute, possession of a Class D substance (marijuana) with intent to distribute, and possession of an open container of alcohol.
The passengers were: Ratik Graham, 19, of 90 Endicott St.; Damien Walker, 21, of 125 Sterling St.; Shylawnda Johnson, 21, of 46 Bowdoin St.; Paulette Williams, 27, of 2 East Kendall St.; and Shaonte Bottom, 34, of 90 Endicott St.
Police said there were no other injuries reported.

By On Feb 14, 2018 Kids Coloring
This month our family goal has been to cut back on worry, but it's not easy. As new school groups form and back-to-school sign ups start piling up, so do the expectations and concerns. Are we teaching our kids by modeling that more stress equals success? How do we slow down and get off the merry-go-round? No sooner did I ask this than a package arrived from Colorit, the makers of adult coloring books. Excited to start creating, I made a coffee date with a friend who has been there through play dates and preschool day. Finally, our long-awaited moment had come. We get to actually sit and just catch up.
If an aspect of a project is frustrating to the child, provide assistance - try to keep things fun. Sing songs, read stories or watch shows with a similar theme as the worksheet you choose to supplement the project - again focusing on extra activities that the child enjoys to help keep them motivated.
Tracing activities develop a child control of the small muscles of the hands (fine motor skills) improving hand/eye coordination. Learning shapes and colors allows children to group or classify items -- children develop their ability to make logical connections -- a precursor to both math and language arts.

Mike Cote's Business Editor's Notebook: Creating relationships sparked TD Bank's regional president's riseBy Mike Cote
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 29. 2013 11:52PM
Do you remember the "Seinfeld" episode when the ruse had Kramer considering suicide because he never realized his dream about becoming a banker?
The joke, of course, is the idea that anyone, let alone a guy who couldn't stand still long enough to count change, would wake up one morning and decide he wanted to devote his life to working for a financial institution.
It didn't happen to David Glidden that way either. The TD Bank regional president had to be coaxed. Glidden, who began overseeing the bank's Northern New England and upstate New York regions in January, started his post-college career as a correctional officer for the state of Massachusetts. A few years later he left for a sales job.
"I never thought about being a banker, trust me," Glidden said during a recent interview in his downtown Manchester office, after alluding to the iconic sitcom.
Then Glidden got to know a banker who convinced him to give it a shot. Brian Thompson, currently president and CEO of Commerce Bank in Worcester, Mass., was looking for recruits for Boston-based Shawmut Bank.
"He said he was having a difficult time turning bankers into relationship people but thought he could turn a relationship person like myself into a banker and then give me the technical background," Glidden said.
He did, and it stuck. Glidden went through Shawmut's management training program and worked for the company from 1986 into the '90s, leaving to become a commercial lender for Springfield Institution for Savings. And that's where he stayed. But Springfield was later acquired by Banknorth, which was subsequently acquired by TD Bank.
"I haven't gone anywhere, but the sign has changed over my head and on the business card a couple of times," said Glidden, 51. "Certainly, the best thing that happened was when we were acquired by TD Bank."
That's TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank, a brand Glidden is not shy about sprinkling into conversation, ever the salesman banker.
TD Bank is the No. 2 retail bank in New Hampshire, with $5.3 billion in deposits. It has 65 stores in the Granite State, where it employs more than 900 people. ?Nationwide, it has more than $233 billion in total assets and is one of the top 10 largest banks in the country. It's a subsidiary of the Toronto-Dominion Bank of Toronto, Canada.
Glidden replaced Scott Bacon, who retired from TD Bank at the end of last year. He has spent most of the last six months out in the field, working with his managers and tries to limit being desk-bound to no more than two days a week.
"If you look at New Hampshire, Maine or Vermont, or upstate New York, those are all very separate markets, but there are separate unique characteristics to the markets within those states," the Massachusetts native said. "The best thing you can do is get out there and get to know the people who are working for the bank out in the field and get to know the customers and the market characteristics."
While banking has become increasingly regulated, especially since the 2008 financial meltdown, the basic tenets of the industry remain the same, Glidden said.
"It really is about relationships and servicing a customer whether they be a retail consumer, a small-business owner, a commercial client or a corporate banking client," he said.
In an era with sluggish growth, banks have had to become more aggressive to win customers. Increasing market share generally means taking it from someone else.
"An expression that is apt up here in New Hampshire and Northern New England is that a lot of the business owners are not getting over the tops of their skis," Glidden said. "As much as we'd like to see them expand a little more and borrow a little more, it's a very competitive market, and loan demand is pretty tepid right now. But probably from a commercial business owner's standpoint, (it's all) for all the right reasons. They're being very cautious about taking on new debt."
TD Bank was the No. 1 Small Business Administration lender in New Hampshire last year and is on track to retain that title this year, Glidden said. "We have a large focus on companies that have under $1 million in revenue and have small borrowings under our small business area," he said.
Glidden says he encourages small businesses, even startups, to consider talking to his bank.
"Most times you can figure out a way to put a deal together. It might not be all bank money, but you can leverage the SBA. There are microlenders out there," he said. "If you're a bank that is really committed to small business like we are, there are ways you can put those things together."
Glidden and his wife, Michelle, a former private banker for Bank of America, are looking for a home in the Seacoast or the greater Portland area, where TD Bank also has a corporate office. In the meantime, Michelle and the couple's daughters, Rosemarie, 15, and Elizabeth, 13, remain in their Massachusetts home, while Glidden spends some of his days living in downtown Portsmouth.
"There is always a night or two a week that I wish I was home. But knowing my wife is there, I know my kids are getting the best of everything," Glidden said. "I have a wife who understands what the demands of the job are. She's 100 percent supportive. I'm not so sure I could do this job without that."

January/February 2013

The fight against HIV is now being waged in virtual worlds that exist only inside a computer. Making use of statistics and other data, these simulations recreate real world conditions to help us better understand drug resistance, predict the outcome of prevention and treatment efforts, and determine the best use of resources. They can't predict the future, but computer models are helping us to answer the question, What if?
For a person on HIV medication, strictly following their drug regimen is critical to treatment success. Research has shown that the relationship between adherence and the resistance the virus can develop is different for each medication in a patient's regimen. A new computer model developed by Harvard grad students in collaboration with a similar team at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine is the first to predict drug resistance that takes adherence into account.
"The mathematical model we built looks at the growth rate of the virus in a person who's being treated," said Daniel Scholes Rosenbloom, one of the students who developed the model. "To know whether viral load will grow or decay, you need to know both how strong each drug in the regimen is and how often the patient is taking or skipping their pills."
The Harvard simulation builds on years of accumulated data and mathematical models explaining how viral load changes over time and at different phases of infection. But Rosenbloom and his colleagues also made use of another research team's work. At the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Robert F. Siliciano, M.D., Ph.D., worked with graduate student Alireza Rabi to study how HIV reacts to varying doses of medications.
Using data from Johns Hopkins, the Harvard team created a simulation that predicts whether the virus was growing or if different strains were emerging, based upon a patient's adherence level. If drug levels are very low, the virus is able to grow even without being resistant to medication, and so drug resistance does not emerge. If drug levels are very high (as they are in a patient taking 100% of their pills), then even a drug-resistant virus may not be able to grow. However, there is a "danger zone" of intermediate drug levels where drug resistance emerges. The new model computes the size of this danger zone, which is different for each drug. (Rosenbloom noted that boosted protease inhibitors tend to have a very small danger zone.)
The Harvard students fed the data and their equations that simulated more than 1 million patients -- about 50,000 for each of 23 HIV medications -- into the school's computer cluster. These virtual patients varied in adherence and viral load over the course of 48 simulated weeks. "We tried to simulate a diverse cohort [that] might participate in a real-world clinical trial," said Rosenbloom. It took the computers up to two days each time the simulation was run.
Rosenbloom notes that the model focuses on monotherapy and that only some simple drug combinations were simulated. However, it proves that resistance can be predicted. While the current model only examines concentrations of drug in blood plasma, Rosenbloom says future models will look at drug concentrations in other parts of the body, as well as simulating combination therapies. The hope is that their computer model will lead to better, cheaper, and more effective HIV medications.
Led by Martin A. Nowak, Ph.D., professor of mathematics and biology and the director of Harvard University's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, the Harvard model is discussed in a paper appearing in the September 2, 2012 issue of Nature Medicine.
Public health officials and policymakers need to identify the best strategies for combating the spread of HIV, especially in a world of limited resources. However, determining the effectiveness of these strategies, either separately or in combination with others, can take years. Brandon Marshall, Ph.D., assistant professor of epidemiology at Brown University, presented a computer model at the AIDS 2012 conference last summer that accurately recreates the spread of HIV in New York and can make predictions into the year 2040 based on a given scenario.
New York City data about drug use, sexual orientation, access to treatment, treatment effectiveness, probabilities regarding risk behaviors, and information about other behavioral, social, and medical factors were used to create the model. The simulation was run and constantly adjusted until it could match actual infection rates that were known to have occurred in New York between 1992 and 2002 among injection drug users.
"With this model you can really look at the micro-connections between people," Marshall said in a Brown press release about his work. "It reflects what's seen in the real world."
Marshall's model of New York is a virtual reality of 150,000 "agents" -- simulated individuals derived from statistical data. These sims, however, act like real people -- they have sex, sometimes engage in risky behaviors, and sometimes contract or transmit HIV.
Six scenarios, each featuring a different HIV prevention policy, was tested by the model: expanding needle exchange programs, expanding substance abuse treatment programs, expanding HIV testing, starting people on HIV treatment earlier, a combination of these strategies, and not changing the current policies.
Simulating one year's time with the six scenarios and the 150,000 agents took Brown University's massive computer array 72 hours to run. To ensure accurate results, each scenario was run several times, providing predictions through 2040.
The single most effective strategy was to start HIV treatment earlier, which lowered the rate of new infections by 45%. Increasing the number of people who get tested for HIV by 50% would reduce new infections among injection drug users only by about 12% through 2040, according to the model. Combining all four strategies would cut infections by 62%.
Marshall was disappointed that the strategies, as shown by the model, would not lead to a greater drop in the infection rate.
Role model: Representation of HIV, made of HIV medications. A version of the image was used to illustrate the cover of Nature Medicine which featured a paper by Daniel Rosenbloom and his colleagues on their model for predicting drug resistance.
"I actually expected something larger," he said. "That speaks to how hard we have to work to make sure that drug users can access and benefit from proven interventions to reduce the spread of HIV."
Marshall plans to expand work on his model. "What we are moving towards now is actually implementing costing data into the model so we can examine the cost-effectiveness of various scenarios," Marshall told Rhode Island Public Radio. "That's the next step that I think will be of most interest to policy makers."
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Lifespan/Tufts/Brown Center for AIDS Research are providing financial support for the model's continued development.

BMUD is a multi-user dimension (MUD) of the Diku/LP/Circle variant written in Common Lisp. A MUD is a textural video game played with traditional telnet and telnet-like clients. At the time of writing the codebase is 1874 lines (disregarding comments and blank-lines). Currently implemented functionality consists of the server, player/mob/object data structures including their save/load functionality, the basic grid system, portions of the command parser, some functions for player commands.
The immediate goal is to get a functioning playable game underway in an attempt to stimulate interest in the project. To that end, the server is built, players can connect, players can move about the world as a "mob". Most immediate work involves handling collision detection, on-line creation, and stitching the grids together into a coherent world. From there, the game needs more of the D20 rule system implemented along with basic commands for mob actions. Next will come the combat system then the magic system. Somewhere in-between the event system needs implementation. This will be done as the need arises.
Some of the planned features that set this project apart from other MUDs are the following:
deformable world - game world should be changeable through the actions of player characters (PCs) and non-player-characters (NPCs)
persistent world - game should remember its state and adapt according to the actions of players and non-player characters.
line of sight (los) - what is viewable to a character in the game is determined by what they can see from their present perspective
dynamic lighting - the lighting of areas in the game is determined by light sources, these are the same calculations as los.

If you've noticed, a theme here this week is stories being told back home about seeing Pope Benedict.
Sister Carol Hoverman, editor of the archdiocesan newspaper The Witness in Dubuque, Iowa, has her own compilation of personal accounts. As she says, "Each person has a unique story to tell and memories that will last a lifetime."
My favorite of the bunch is the story of two Loras College students, Lauren Squires and Katrina Berning, video producers for their college TV channel, who got media credentials for the Washington portion of the trip. But when they got here they discovered they couldn't get into the events because camera spots were limited to the major networks.
Rather than whine about their lack of access, they used their creativity to cover the events. From Sister Carol's story:
They watched the Mass on the screens outside the stadium, and got text messages from Berning's grandmother, who was inside. They began interviewing people who were also outside the stadium.
"We spoke with one man who said he wasn't Catholic, but he told us he could really feel the Holy Spirit when the pope was near," recalled Squires.
They also shot video of Loras President Jim Collins, who was at an invitation-only papal audience for Catholic educators at the Catholic University of America.
Nice — I love it when journalists find other ways to get the story. Here's a link to their blog, and here's one of their stories:

This week in Island history
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 100 years ago came from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
Scattering Seeds
By John A. Murphy
At its best, a common sense solution to a chronic problem may involve synergy, that is, the solution will bring benefits beyond the resolution of the single problem targeted. Such serendipity is possible if we target problems facing our country today. Let's think several through.
Right now, far too many Americans need jobs and cannot find them. The impact of chronic unemployment upon our nation's economy is devastating; it is crushing the spirit of many in the workforce. At the same time, the infrastructure of this country is crumbling, and needs to be rebuilt. A solution to this situation seems so obvious that we need not state it. America has been in this situation before. The infrastructure that was constructed under federally funded programs in the 1930s and 40s served us well; the public works programs helped get the country back on its feet after a devastating economic depression. Don't we need to attack today's problems now with the same type of vision and vigor? Won't we hit two birds with one stone?
Another chronic set of problems America now faces is the web of negative impacts that flow from having virtually all of the burden of military service fall upon an extremely small percentage of our country's families. It we adopt a universal service requirement for all young citizens, won't we be helping to resolve that untenable situation? The mandated service should be in a wide variety of programs helpful to this country. If a young person chooses a particularly difficult form of service, such as the military, he/she should receive special benefits, such as assistance in post-service education. The administrative and programmatic operation of agencies benefitting from the mandated service would themselves provide employment opportunities for many people, such as our presently under-employed veterans of military service. Synergy again!
100 years ago
From the Newport Journal, June 30, 1911
[At the Town Council meeting] J. R. Caswell was appointed a committee to enforce the automobile law, repair Walcott Avenue and confer with the Improvement Society, as to work on sidewalks bear the west ferry.
It was voted that the town clerk notify the water works to turn on the water in the fountain at the foot of Narragansett avenue.
Servants arrived Thursday to open the Peckham cottage on Walcott Avenue for Mrs. H. D. Spears and family of New York, who have leased it for the season.
[At the Financial Town Meeting] the faction which won at the caucus, only to lose the majority of the steamboat committee at the polls, made a final effort by the introduction of a resolution which if carried would give outside stockholders the balance of power. The regulars were on hand and made short work of the resolution, passing instead a vote to request the state legislature to change the charter of the ferry company in such a manner that the members of the town committee will be elected for three, two and one year, and thereafter one elected annually to serve three years, thus eliminating some of the politics in the management.
It was voted that the town clerk was appointed to purchase a typewriter for his office.
75 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, June 27, 1936
[At the Town Council meeting] George C. Baron, WPA field engineer, addressed the council and discussed the road building program going on in town.
It was voted that permission be granted the Holy Ghost Society to parade Sunday, June 28, from the East ferry to St. Mark's church, to Holy Ghost hall, with the stipulation that the bands do not play while passing other churches where services are being held.
From the Newport Daily News, June 29, 1936
The dedication and birthday party of the Jamestown Post, American Legion, and the Auxiliary was held at the post home on Clinton avenue, a large number of legionnaires, many from out of town, members of the auxiliary, and invited guests attending. The hall was attractively decorated for the occasion. A large birthday cake, with seven candles, was brought in at the close of the banquet and cut buy the post commander.
From the Newport Daily News,
June 30, 1936
[At the Jamestown Historical Society meeting it was reported that a gift was received] a sampler from Mrs. Charles E. Weeden, which was made 110 years ago by Lucy King Palmer, Mrs. Weeden's mother when she was 12 years old.

An entrance ramp to the new cross-island bridge-connector road that will affect wetlands was the focus of discussion Thursday night during a hearing on the road's draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement.
It was like "a big lawn party" for visitors watching the Tall Ships Parade of Sail in Jamestown Tuesday. Police Chief James Pemantell said this morning that besides one arrest for disorderly conduct and several minor injuries, "everything went according to game plan." Traffi c leaving the island after the show found some slow going but nothing compared to the 1982 catastrophic jam-up.

The claim was made by Peter Herbert, chair of the Society of Black Lawyers, who also criticised the FA and Chelsea after the police dropped an investigation into referee Mark Clattenburg.
Bernstein said in a statement: "These ill-informed and unhelpful remarks are at odds with the progressive and responsible approach being followed by the game with the support of Government to deal with these serious issues. The FA will continue working to strengthen processes to eradicate all forms of discrimination in football."
Herbert hit out at the FA and Chelsea for not reporting allegations that top-flight referee Clattenburg used comments understood to have been interpreted as racist to the police.
The FA are investigating the matter after receiving a complaint from the club but neither body involved police. The SBL did make a complaint to the Metropolitan Police based on media reports of the alleged incident but officials at Scotland Yard have announced no action will be taken "because no victims had come forward".
Herbert said in a statement: "It would appear that there is a cosy little agreement between Chelsea FC and the FA not to report these matters to the Metropolitan Police but to have them dealt with solely by the FA.
"The FA have a dreadful record of indifference on hate crime generally; failing to challenge anti-Semitism at Tottenham Hotspur and at other grounds; eventually finding John Terry made a racist remark but remarkably found him not to be a 'racist'; whilst the derisory penalty of a four or eight-match ban [Luis Suarez] is believed to be a suitable punishment for what in any other industry would be summary dismissal for gross misconduct."
Herbert also claimed on Sky Sports News the FA were "institutionally racist".
He added: "Institutionally racist? Of course it is. They don't even implement what the Stephen Lawrence inquiry (MacPherson Report) recommendations were about how to report a racial incident, whether the victim or any other person believes it is.
"You will not find that on the FA website or any of the training given to referees, managers, coaches or players. It isn't there. It should be. If an institution fails to follow 14 years after the MacPherson Report's recommendations and it has a history of under-reporting race hate, what would you call it? We would call it institutionally racist."

THE footy and media worlds don't run parallel in Melbourne - they criss-cross, traverse and stampede each other. There is plenty of love but it's lubricated by the needs of sponsors, egos, members, managers, ratings and the delicious craving for a good story.
Big names have roamed between the worlds, and a few exist in the middle - spies with brilliant disguises.
Mick Malthouse crossed over, but just for a little while.
Collingwood supplied Mick with retirement. The black-and-white tiles under his feet cracked and broke away. The decision was made above him and around him.
So he wandered out - passing the growing flowers, singing birds and a restful life - and went straight into the media. Signing on with the Channel Seven and 3AW footy teams, the famously irritable Malthouse, who had little patience for those media types and their bloody silly questions, found himself smiling into the camera and asking a few questions of his own.
But before his freshly printed press pass had the chance to curl at the ends, he swapped it for a Carlton jumper and a ''coach'' car park.
Just what did Malthouse get out of his big adventure with the cameras, microphones and make-up? Did it change his view of the hungry and squawking media?
Not likely.
''The easiest thing is to be a critic,'' he says. ''Negativity flows out of most people. Coaching is about being positive.''
Not long after his radio career started, there was enough negativity to change his whole season. In April 2012, the premiership coach got pecked by the sharp Magpie beak of Eddie McGuire.
Malthouse thought he was doing his new job when he leaned into a microphone and commented on the game plan of new coach Nathan Buckley. The Pies had just been belted by Carlton, and Malthouse described their defence as ''leaky''. The Collingwood president grabbed his own day-job mike and showed some defence, media-style. ''I love Mick and I've supported him 100 per cent, but I tell you, he wouldn't have a friend at Collingwood today,'' McGuire said, and added, ''Give Bucks a go, mate,'' as though Malthouse should have been showing a blood-oath loyalty to McGuire's coach.
Any love McGuire has for Malthouse is silent. The two have not talked for more than 12 months. Their words are for the rest of Melbourne to hear. ''I've always believed in friendships,'' Malthouse says. The one with McGuire seems over for all time.
But the McGuire swoop was effective. Malthouse decided he was done talking about his old team, telling Seven and 3AW he no longer wanted to cover Collingwood games.
Even in footy terms, Malthouse has an emotional verve that's unique. He has the sporting passion of Chariots of Fire and the personal sentimentality of E.T.
Emotion is the wood burning in the Malthouse boiler. It can be used to drive a productive engine, but it has been known to build up and shake - jetting steam and causing frightening squealing sounds. But that's him.
''I'm sometimes a victim of that emotion,'' Malthouse says about his successful curse. ''That is probably one of the overriding things that takes over. And you're quick to defend your family, your team or your club. At times, I didn't control them. Maybe that's what makes me a football coach.''
And never is emotion more a factor than the post-game press conference. It's there that Malthouse has been his most cross-armed with raw crankiness. ''I used to get annoyed 15 minutes after a win or a loss. I could always tell who journos barracked for. I still think there are a lot of old ones [journalists] that have an agenda,'' Malthouse says, adding that many had agendas for ''other people''.
''I've tried to be as professional as I can. And I know sometimes I've failed,'' he says, copping some of the blame. But with little hope of a softer, marshmallow-type Malthouse following a 2013 Blues loss, what about the future of sports reporting?
During his wilderness year Malthouse went back to school, mentoring students at La Trobe University, including undergraduates in journalism. ''I'll be judging the young media people coming through,'' he says, hoping he did something to lift the standard.
Before I got the chance to spend time with Malthouse at 3AW, I thought he was a bit of a sook towards the media. But I came to enjoy our chats and loved the passion-charged, bungy-jump style conversations you could have with him. And with all his chest-out confidence comes some naivety that's hard not to like.
But I could see a change in him once the new job was announced. He was a coach again, on his guard. Just a little.
So, Mick Malthouse went from closed up to candid, and then back again. He's returned to a life of balls, boys and grassy battles.
Perhaps it was meant to be this way - the old ''agenda'' journos ramming their questions and Emotional Mick always protecting, like he was guarding a treasure map.
Imagine a press conference - minutes after the opposition's team song - if Malthouse welcomed us with tea and cakes, and all the answers. It just wouldn't feel like our game. The worlds are now aligned, once more.
Justin Smith is a presenter and senior producer on radio 3AW.

... does the button match the face (or collar match the cuffs, if you will)?
Chinese resellers are offering locals the near-mythological white iPhone 4, and it seems they are the genuine article. According to website Giz-China, punters can pay between Yuan 5500 and 8000 (£518-753) for the 16GB version and clearly a whole lot more for the 32GB model. China's white iPhone Source: Giz-China The site …
... does the button match the face (or collar match the cuffs, if you will)?
does anyone really give a sh*t about a phone that's the same as another phone but a different colour?
Nobody would take such an interest in an android phone for example
apple are touting china white? WILL NO-ONE THINK OF THE BANKERS?
Who cares? And besides, how do we know that they didn't delay these things just so that they would get media attention?
My first action on eventually upgrading (which will be a while, I'm perfectly happy with the 3GS) will be to slip the new phone into a black Mophie Air.
So the colour doesn't matter. Grubby Sweaty White is a horrible colour for a phone anyway.
So why dont you report all this to someone who gives a sh8t.
Gee, guys. Haven't you lot never heard of applying a white balance tweak to your images so the image at least tries to look 'white'?
This is suppose to be a IT- aware web site after all....
What does IT have to do with photograph manipulation? Besides the obvious fact that the task is done on a computer, we can't expect everybody who's ever touched one to know what they're doing with Photoshop.
Sorry reg, but does anyone in your office ever step back a bit, here is an article about a telephone that is white made in china ... there is no tech, the news has got zero impact on tech, there is no hardware, there is no news ...
Its gone on for years... Many of those 'dodgy' illegal fakes?
They come off the same production line as the real ones.
"Hello, I'm a major international buyer, will your factory make us 20,000 of these a day?"
"We can make 30,000 a day Sir!!!"
"Well we only want 20,000 so make sure you stop at 5o'clock"
"Errr.. Yeah ofcourse, right"
Even worse when you throw in the QA step, minor flaws?..They'll go into the 'wrong' bin occasionally, one of the problems of outsourcing.

Phoronix: Thermaltake Spedo Advance Chassis
It has been a while since last looking at a Thermaltake chassis at Phoronix, but today we have our hands on the Spedo Advance Chassis. This full tower chassis is made of SECC steel and has seven 5.25" drive bays, but perhaps what is more unique is its dual 230mm fans, 140mm fan, and three 120mm fans (with room for another two). In addition, the Spedo Advance Chassis has an Advance Thermal Chamber 3, Cable Routing Management 3, an HDD relocation canister, and other features designed to satisfy the needs of the most stringent gamers and computer enthusiasts.
No announcement yet.

What are those ATC things taking up the full width of the lower half of the case in
If we're supposed to know because they're similar to the previous model, then link to your review of it.
You didn't take anything but extreme closeups once you installed the mobo, so I can't see where it even fits in relation to the other stuff inside the case. ok, I guess
http://www.phoronix.net/image.php?id...spedo_sys3_lrg help, now that I've looked closely at the pictures of the empty case. But come on, there's enough resolution to still see enough detail if you pulled back and showed the whole case with the mobo in it.
wow, a bundle of cables, and nothing in focus enough to see where it is in the case. probably the most useless photo in the article.
Ok, which side of the case is that? And which way up is it? I can't tell if the SATA cable is going into the cable-routing tray behind the mobo the article talked about, or if it's going to the front of the mobo. I'm guessing into the cable-routing thing.
Seriously, take some wider angle photos. The full size versions have plenty of pixels for it.
I guess I'm glad you don't spend too much time on case reviews, since there's nothing Linux-related about them. So it's better that phoronix spends its time on things that actually interact with software. I can read case reviews anywhere else, but only phoronix will say much about Linux on mobos or vid cards. It would be cool if you would post lspci -vvnn and dmesg output for all mobos you test. Then people could see what devices were onboard, e.g. what sound chip, onboard ethernet, PATA controller, etc. even if you don't mention it.

Speaking of goofball, "Spedo" sounds like knock-off swimwear. I guess that's preferable to the trend of products that sound like they're going to kill you, though.

Arrrgh, what is it with these companies putting in goofball fan sizes nowdays?

Watch The ::God Is Imaginary Videos On YouTube ::
It seems that their morality is the shaky one, based on old books and interpreted by supposedly wise men. They have to ignore so much of their own beliefs to live in modern society. No slavery, no genocide, no mistreatment of women, no persecution of gays, no cruelty to animals, no stoning of children or adulterers. How can they call themselves moral if they don't follow their own rules?I don't get how religious folks can go on about how, if we humans are not made all special by a magic god then we are worthless or just the same as ants or grass. Why is the idea of nature making stuff so scary to them? Do they think it is okay to pollute the ocean and its fish, or burn down a forest full of wildlife-- because they aren't humans and don't have special magic souls? Why not just torture and kill animals for fun--no souls, right?

Most cold sores heal on their own without prescription medicines. But some antiviral medicines (such as acyclovir or famciclovir) when taken orally (tablets) may be helpful in reducing the frequency and severity of attacks of cold sores.1
Doctors may prescribe oral antiviral medicines that can be taken daily to prevent future outbreaks of cold sores. These medicines may also be given during periods of increased risk of getting cold sores (such as during cosmetic surgery or sun exposure).
Oral antivirals work best in treating recurring cold sores if they are taken within 24 to 48 hours of an outbreak of cold sores.
Pregnant or nursing women should seek their doctors' advice prior to taking antiviral medicines. Those with kidney problems may be advised to take lower doses.
Some examples of oral antiviral medicines prescribed to treat cold sores include the following:
Acyclovir (Zovirax) tablets may slightly shorten the duration of pain and the healing time of a first attack of cold sores.1
Common side effects of acyclovir tablets include nausea, diarrhea, and headache.
A lower dose of oral acyclovir is needed for people who have reduced kidney function.
Famciclovir (Famvir) is sometimes used to treat the herpes virus that causes cold sores and genital herpes (as well as the virus that causes shingles). This medicine is available only by prescription and is taken orally in tablet form.
If you are pregnant or nursing, you should talk with your doctor before taking famciclovir.
This medicine is not recommended for people who have had an allergic reaction to it in the past.
Possible mild side effects include itching, fever, headache, fatigue, nausea, or diarrhea.
Valacyclovir (Valtrex) capsules are available by prescription only. Valacyclovir can be used as a 1-day treatment to reduce cold sore duration in people 12 years and older.2 It is absorbed by the body much better than some other antiviral medicines (such as acyclovir).
Possible side effects include skin rash, allergic reaction, headache, dizziness, insomnia, and fatigue.
Children, pregnant women, and people who have HIV or who have had bone marrow or kidney transplants should talk with their doctors before taking this medicine.

ADHD Tips from the Teacher: How to Help Your Child Succeed
Teachers who handle ADHD kids have lots of insight on how to keep things running smoothly at home. Here, they share their tips
- prev
- Next
- 1 of 14
Benoit Cortet
If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, teacher attention -- and even better, an Individualized Education Plan (or IEP) -- helps him do his best in the classroom. These classroom experts also have great tips for how to keep your child on track at home. We talked to Michael Belle-Isle, Director of Special Education and Pupil Personnel Services for Amherst School District in Amherst, NY, to find out what his teachers recommend for supporting ADHD students when they're not in school.
Be Consistent
Establish a daily routine that kicks in as soon as your kid walks in the door. Snack, homework, dinner time and bed time should be as close to the same time each day as possible. This establishes a pattern, and helps your kid stay focused on the task at hand.
Talk It Out with the Teacher
This is a biggie. Communication should be clear and frequent between you, your child, and the teacher. Talk to your child's teacher often—weekly, if not daily—about what's going on in school and at home. When you have a task or directive for your kid, provide short, clear directions. Then have your child repeat what he heard back to you to ensure everything was understood.
Stay on Schedule
Posted schedules around the house that outline what happens every day in the hours before and after school. They're as helpful to your child as your own schedule is to you, and can keep you all on track.
Eliminate Distractions
Switching off the TV set at homework-time is a no-brainer, but here's an important point: TV and video games should be off-limits for EVERYONE when your child is hitting the books. Even if the sound is low, or the video game is being played in another room, just knowing that someone's getting screen time can be very distracting to kids with ADHD.
Limit Screen Time
Of course, we all need time to unwind in front of the boob tube sometimes, but it's important to understand that for ADHD kids, TV and video games can really increase levels of distraction. Parents should be very active in limiting television time. Make it part of a positive reward system for when work is finished—not before. (This might mean less TV time for everyone in the family, but that might not be a bad thing, either!)
Use the Folder System
Assignments have less of a chance of creeping up on your kid if you create special folders or baskets for their work and fill them right after school every day. Label one "Do This" and another "Done" to keep daily and weekly assignments organized.
Organize the Backpack
With that in mind, be there to help your kid empty and sort out their backpack when they get home. Between hats and gloves, gym clothes, library books, homework folders, etc, it can get crowded and disorganized in there quickly. Weed out unnecessary objects daily.
Enforce Bedtime
It's a vicious cycle: your kid goes to bed later one night, then has a hard time concentrating the next day, then stays up later to get his work done because his focus is off. Don't let the cycle start by making sure they get enough zzz's each and every night.
Stay Close
No one likes a helicopter parent—or being called one—but ditch the labels and recognize that your subtle supervision during homework time can really help your child. Frequent positive verbal cues like, "That assignment's really coming along!" or "I can't believe you've done that much work already!" both encourage and help your kid stay focused.
Use Charts and Checklists
But you don't have to be their only source of feedback. Simple visual reminders like charts and checklists can keep your kid focused on their schoolwork, even when they're at home. They allow your child to do some self-monitoring, letting them see how much they've accomplished and what still needs to be done.
Break It Down
If your child is feeling overwhelmed by something on the to-do list, help her break it down into smaller, more manageable steps. For example, don't just list "Do science project," but rather, "Brainstorm flow chart for science project; choose and shop for supplies for science model," etc. Smaller goals feel much more reachable, and checking things off the list is gratifying.
Limit Choices
For kids with ADHD, too many options can be overwhelming. If you tell them they can watch TV or play their PSP or call a friend or get dessert, then focus wavers from any one task—even if it's a fun one. Instead, help your child stay on target by limiting the this-or-that decisions.

Spurs beat Arsenal 2-1; Altidore sets US record
LONDON (AP) — Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon scored in a three-minute span late in the first half, giving Tottenham a 2-1 win over visiting Arsenal on Sunday in a North London derby that could prove to be pivotal in the race for Champions League qualification.
Bale put Tottenham ahead in the 37th minute when he beat an offside trap on a pass from Gylfi Sigurdsson and sent a left-footed shot past goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny for his 10th goal in eight games and 20th this season.
Just 140 seconds later, Scott Parker threaded a pass behind the Thomas Vermaelen, and Lennon rounded Szczesny to slot into an empty net.
Per Mertesacker scored Arsenal's goal on a 51st-minute glancing header that deflected in off Bale.
Tottenham (16-6-6) is third with 54 points, two ahead of Chelsea (15-6-7) and seven in front of Arsenal (13-7-8), which is seeking its 16th straight Champions League berth under manager Arsene Wenger. The top four teams qualify for Europe's top club competition.
Jozy Altidore broke Clint Dempsey's record for most goals by an American in a European club season, scoring his 24th in AZ Alkmaar's 2-1 loss at RKC Waalwijk in the Dutch Eridivisie.
The 23-year-old tied the score in the 69th minute, running onto a pass into the penalty area and chipping goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet with a left-footed shot from about 12 yards. Altidore has 17 league goals to go along with seven in the Dutch Cup.
Dempsey scored 23 goals for Fulham last season, including 17 in the English Premier League, three in the FA Cup and three in the Europa League. He transferred to Tottenham in August.
Mart Lieder scored his second of the game for host Waalwijk in the 76th.
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Atletico Madrid squandered a chance to reduce its gap with Spanish leader Barcelona to nine points when it was held to a 0-0 draw at Malaga.
Barcelona (22-2-2), which lost 2-1 at Real Madrid on Saturday, leads by 11 points over Atletico (18-5-3) and 13 over defending champion Real (17-5-4), which had trailed by 19 points after play on Feb. 16.
ROME (AP) — Inter Milan rallied from a two-goal deficit in the second half to win 3-2 at Catania, shaking off Antonio Cassano's latest outburst.
Cassano wasn't dressed following a training scuffle with coach Andrea Stramaccioni. Cassano has had run-ins with authority figures throughout his career, including Fabio Capello at Roma and Real Madrid and former Sampdoria president Riccardo Garrone.
Catania built a 2-0 lead on goals by Gonzalo Bergessio in the seventh minute and Giovanni Marchese in the 19th, but Ricky Alvarez head in a cross in the 51st from Rodrigo Palacio, who tied the score in the 70th and got the go-ahead goal off a pass from Esteban Cambiasso in the second minute of stoppage time.
Inter (14-8-5) is tied for fourth with Lazio, one point behind AC Milan (13-7-6) for the last Champions League berth. Fiorentina is two points back in sixth after beating visiting Chievo Verona 2-1 on a 78th-minute goal by newly signed Marcelo Larrondo.
Francesco Totti tied Gunnar Nordahl for second on the Serie A career scoring list by converting a penalty kick for his 225th goal as Roma beat Genoa 3-1 for its third consecutive win. Silvio Piola set the record of 274 from 1929-54.
Alessio Romagnoli and Simone Perrotta also scored for the hosts.
BERLIN (AP) — Mario Gomez made the most of a rare start to give Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich a 1-0 win at relegation-threatened Hoffenheim.
Frank Ribery headed on Javi Martinez's header for Gomez to flick past goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes with his second touch in the 38th minute.
Bayern (20-1-3) holds a 17-point lead over second-place Borussia Dortmund (13-4-7).
American midfielder Daniel Williams created Hoffenheim's best chances in the first half. Bayern's Bastian Schweinsteiger hit the crossbar and a post from successive free kicks in the second half.
PARIS (AP) — Lyon wasted its chance to move even on points with French league leader Paris Saint-Germain, tying 1-1 at Brest.
Kamel Chafni put the hosts ahead in the eighth minute, but Tripy Makonda tied the score with an own goal in the 53rd.
Lyon (15-5-7) is two points behind PSG (16-5-6), which lost 1-0 at Reims on Saturday.

In Lesson XI (p. 17), the vocabulary lists the principal parts of ἀναβαίνω as:
ἀναβαίνω, (βαν-, βα-), ἀναβήσω (ἀνα-βήσομαι), ἀνέβησα (ἀνέβην)
I'm unclear about what's in the parentheses following the future and aorist forms. Are they future and aorist exceptions to the regular conjugations or rarer conjugations? In the exercises (53.1), ἀνέβη is used as a 3rd person singular. This led me to wonder if they were using it to mean that ἀνέβη- could be used as the augmented stem to which the same suffixes used in building the imperfect active indicative forms (I think these are referred to as the secondary tense endings?) are added.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any help and apologies if this sounds confused.
