Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children.
Snow, Catherine E., Ed.; Burns, M. Susan, Ed.; Griffin, Peg, Ed.
Suggesting that empirical work in the field of reading has advanced sufficiently to allow substantial agreed-upon results and conclusions, this literature review cuts through the detail of partially convergent, sometimes discrepant research findings to provide an integrated picture of how reading develops and how reading instruction should proceed. The focus of the review is prevention. Sketched is a picture of the conditions under which reading is most likely to develop easily--conditions that include stimulating preschool environments, excellent reading instruction, and the absence of any of a wide array of risk factors. It also provides recommendations for practice as well as recommendations for further research. After a preface and executive summary, chapters are (1) Introduction; (2) The Process of Learning to Read; (3) Who Has Reading Difficulties; (4) Predictors of Success and Failure in Reading; (5) Preventing Reading Difficulties before Kindergarten; (6) Instructional Strategies for Kindergarten and the Primary Grades; (7) Organizational Strategies for Kindergarten and the Primary Grades; (8) Helping Children with Reading Difficulties in Grades 1 to 3; (9) The Agents of Change; and (10) Recommendations for Practice and Research. Contains biographical sketches of the committee members and an index. Contains approximately 800 references. (RS)

I hear the apologists for Islamic terrorism state that violence and murder have "nothing to do with Islam". That violent adherents to the extremely violent religion of peace have "hijacked" the religion for their own non-Islamic ends.
Whilst this may help Muslims appear to be moderate by way of Taqiyya, it is an argument without logic or reason.
By way of a couple of analogies, let us examine who makes a more pure or representitive or accurate example of a Muslim…
Analogy one:
You own a nearly new BMW motor car which needs a service. You can choose between taking the car to a back-street garage which services any make or model of car, using generic parts bought cheap from a motor factors company, without any official BMW afilliation whatsoever. Or you could take your car to a genuine BMW dealership, with fully licenced BMW technicians who will strictly and only use officially licenced, genuine BMW parts, and stick to the letter of the BMW recommended proceedures to service the vehicle.
Which of those two garages is the most "BMW"?
Analogy two:
A man who is born into a Christian family and is Christened. His father was a cleric and although he attended church regularly as a child, now only attends at Christmas and Easter. He is living with a woman, unmarried with children out of wedlock. Another man is a Bishop and lives as much as he possibly can by the Canon law upholding Christian scriptures. He opposes same gender marriage, as he considers Holy matrimony to be a holy union between a man and a woman.
Which of those two is the more Christian?
Which is the more accurate example of a good Muslim:
One identifies as a "moderate" Muslim. He is peaceful. He rarely attends Mosque, does not pray five times a day and he drinks alcohol. He opposes Jihad and wants to integrate into Western society, supports democratic human lawmaking and is a valued member of his local eclectic and secular community.
The other is an Immam who preaches that Sharia is the only law. That the punishments under Sharia law are the post perfect punishments because they are what Allah's prophet Mohammed (PBUH) was told by Allah, and that only Allah can change Sharia law. That no man can question such law and all such punishments are not extreme or radical, but pure and beautiful. That death is the appropriate punishment for adultery, apostacy and performing homosexual acts. That Jihad is central to Islam. That the haddiths and Qu'ran specifically spell out the Islamic way as the only legitimate way to live, including these punishments and Jihad as being central to the Islamic faith.
Which of those two Muslims is the most representitive of the religion of Islam?
Now how the hell can anyone explain the logic that Islamic terrorists involved in holy Jihad against infidels are "nothing to do with Islam?" IF such terrorists are nothing to do with Islam, then neither is the Qu'ran, any Mosques, or Sharia law.
Glad to clear that up.

Wimbledon Opening Day; Six US Juniors into Third Round at Roehampton; Buchanan Wins Futures; DeHeart Joins Alabama, Keckley Named Princeton Assistant
An even dozen Americans took the courts today for first round matches at Wimbledon, with only five managing to advance to the second round. Although she wasn't seeded, Venus Williams' loss to Elena Vesnina of Russia was probably the biggest surprise, because even though she hasn't been a factor since being diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome, Williams has always been a threat at the All England Club. John Isner, the No. 11 seed, had a match point in the fourth set tiebreaker with Colombia's Alejandro Falla but wound up losing 6-4, 6-7(7), 3-6, 7-6(7), 7-5. James Blake lost to Baylor's 2004 NCAA champion Benjamin Becker of Germany and Donald Young lost to No. 26 seed Mikhail Youzhny of Russia. For an interesting take on that match, see Howard Bryant's piece for espn.com.
Qualifiers Michael Russell and Ryan Sweeting picked up wins, as did Ryan Harrison, who will face defending champion and world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the second round.
Melanie Oudin lost to Timea Babos of Hungary and Vania King went quietly against No. 23 seed Petra Cetkovska of the Czech Republic, but Sloane Stephens and Jamie Hampton advanced. Stephens had no trouble with qualifier Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic in their second meeting, posting a 6-2, 6-2 win. At the 2010 US Open Junior Championships, Stephens beat Pliskova 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the quarterfinals. Hampton took out No. 27 seed Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia 6-4, 7-6(1) and will next play wild card Heather Watson of Great Britain. Christina McHale, the No. 28 seed, twice served for the match against British wild card Joanna Konta, but couldn't convert either time and their match was suspended due to darkness at 7-7 in the third set.
Tuesday has ten Americans playing their first round matches: Irina Falconi, Andy Roddick, Serena Williams, Jesse Levine, Wayne Odesnik, Mardy Fish, Brian Baker, Varvara Lepchenko, Sam Querrey and CoCo Vandeweghe.
For the schedule and draws, see the Wimbledon website.
At the Grade 1 ITF in Roehampton today, the unfinished first round and the second round were completed, with six US juniors surviving into the third round. Top seed Taylor Townsend is the only American girl in the top half, but in the bottom half, Allie Kiick(8), Sachia Vickery(4) and Kyle McPhillips are still alive. In the boys draw, the two remaining Americans are Mitchell Krueger(7), in the top half, and Noah Rubin(13), in the bottom half.
For complete results, see the LTA website.
With all the havoc caused by tropical storm Debby, it was this evening before the result of the Indian Harbour Beach Futures final was known. Chase Buchanan defeated Alex Domijan 6-3, 6-4 to win his first Futures since Vero Beach in 2008. Ruben Gonzales and Darian King won the doubles over Georgia Tech's Juan Spir and Kevin King 6-2, 3-6, 10-4.
Torrential rain has caused problems on the other side of the state as well, where the Innisbrook Futures qualifying is taking place. This has left two final round qualifying matches unfinished, but those and some main draw matches are on the schedule for Tuesday.
For results, see the Pro Circuit page at usta.com.
There were a couple of assistant announcements today, with Ryan Keckley, who has been the men's assistant coach at the University of San Diego for the past three years, joining Billy Pate at Princeton in the same capacity, and Ryler DeHeart, an all-American at Illinois, taking the assistant position for new Alabama coach George Husack.
The Princeton announcement is here and the Alabama announcement is here.

Following the Chancellor's budget announcement, there are a number of areas that link back to the Real Estate sector. These include announcements on flood defence, SDLT and other planning issues.
Pay to stay
The governments consultation on pay to stay was published on 9th March. This confirmed the governments policy on the proposals to require social housing tenants with household incomes of 40,000 and above in London, and 30,000 and above in the rest of England, to be required to pay an increased level of rent for their accommodation if their rent is currently being subsidised below market rent levels. No changes were made in the budget, though it confirmed that a taper would be introduced so that rents rise only gradually for those over the thresholds.
Pay to stay will, as previously announced and as part of the governments deregulatory strategy, be voluntary for private registered providers.
Social rent reduction deferral for supported housing
As announced on 27 January, the 1% annual reduction in social rents announced at the Summer Budget will not apply to supported housing in 2016-17. It will now also be the case that the reduction in local housing allowance caps for homeless accommodation will also be deferred to 1st April 2017.
There was quite a big piece on homelessness. The Autumn Statement had announced changes to additional payments that local authorities and registered providers receive for managing properties let to homeless people. The 2016 budget announced four aspects:
- 100m of investment to deliver low-cost second stage accommodation for rough sleepers leaving hostel accommodation and domestic abuse victims and their families moving on from refuges.
- 10 million of investment over two years to support and scale up innovative ways to prevent and reduce rough sleeping.
- A doubling of the funding for the Rough Sleeping Social Impact Bond announced at the Autumn Statement 2015 from 5 million to 10 million. The objective is to drive innovative ways of tackling entrenched rough sleeping, including Housing First approaches.
- Action to increase the number of rough sleeping EU migrants returning to their home countries.
There had been talk of extending the duties of local housing authorities with regard to homeless people, but this does not seem to have featured. The budget did not do anything for those unable to afford, or forced out of, private rented accommodation who present themselves as homeless. Local housing authorities will therefore have to look at other strategies for dealing with this issue.
Community Land Trusts
60m is to be provided from increased business rates and SDLT receipts to enable community-led housing developments in rural and coastal communities, including through Community Land Trusts, where the impact of second homes is particularly acute. The South West will receive around 20 million of this funding.
There was a vague proposal that the government is intending to explore ways to extend homeownership to social tenants who cannot afford to take advantage of existing schemes. No further detail was provided.
Local growth
Regional growth funding (under which 8bn of funding has been allocated) is to be extended by up to 1.8 billion to be allocated through a further round of Growth Deals with Local Enterprise Partnerships later this year. Further detail on the allocations process for the next round of Growth Deals is to be announced soon.
A further 2 billion of the Local Growth Fund to being allocated through the Home Building Fund. This programme provides finance to developers to unlock large housing sites and bring forward the necessary infrastructure that large house building projects require.
Devolution deals which all allocate some funding for housing were announced with Greater Lincolnshire, East Anglia, and the West of England and further devolution deals with Greater Manchester and Liverpool City Regions
Starter homes
A prospectus has today been published to launch the Starter Homes Land Fund. This prospectus invites Local Authorities to access the 1.2 billion of funding to remediate brownfield land to deliver Starter Homes. Of course, the 1.2bn is to be funded by the levy on local housing authorities high value houses.
Help to buy shared ownership
Help to buy is to be extended to shared ownership and a prospectus inviting bids will be launched in April.
Affordable housing
The delivery of 13,000 affordable homes will be achieved two years early by bringing forward 250 million of capital spending to 2017-18 and 2018-19.
Investment in low-cost homeownership
An interesting announcement is that the government states that it will explore options for encouraging private investment in low-cost homeownership, including the scope to use guarantees. No timetable is given for this or whether it is proposed to invest State resources into this policy. This is one to keep an eye on as it has the potential to compete with the activities of private registered providers.
Garden towns, cities, and villages
The government supports the construction of a new wave of garden towns and cities across the country, with the potential to deliver over 100,000 homes. The Budget announces that the government will legislate to make it easier for local authorities to work together to create new garden towns, as well as consult on a second wave of Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) reforms with the objective of making the CPO process clearer, fairer and quicker.

Cockburn said: "It is clear that many banks are seeking to reduce the size of their property loan books, with RBS, Lloyds Banking Group and Ireland's National Asset Management Agency likely to be major contributors to this process."
But Cockburn thinks banks will look carefully at loan serviceability before making decisions to sell and have been working with landlords directly in cases where there isn't a default.
"Sales have been steadily coming to the market as a combination of portfolios and individual asset sales. Much of the prime stock on their loan books was dealt with early on, and the majority of what is left is secondary and tertiary. We expect to see banks increasingly packaging up saleable assets into portfolios towards the end of this year and early 2012."
Cockburn believes that it will be well constructed and balanced portfolios that are most likely to achieve better pricing. The impact on the market is likely to be diluted by the drawn out timeframe and the highly confidential nature of the process, as the banks are conscious that if they flood the market this could have a detrimental impact on their portfolios by driving down prices.
As such they are likely to take a more conservative approach to the release of stock. She predicts that there will be a steady trickle of this distressed stock entering the market rather than a flood of this type of stock. For this reason it is likely that the banks could take two to three years to fully unwind their distressed loan books.
However Cockburn believes there is a huge weight of money and demand for this type of stock from investors, predominantly from property companies and opportunity funds who have been waiting for this chance to acquire the high returning properties.
She also predicts that the supply of bank stock coming to the market is unlikely to have much effect on prime institutional quality property pricing.
"We see better performance prospects for investors prepared to invest selectively in good quality secondary property. The prime end is a very overcrowded space and such a risk averse approach is leading to some mispricing of good quality assets. Providing the fundamentals are there, better returns can be gained from investing in good quality secondary property by utilising good asset management skills."

File Sharing Experiment: How much money does Big Media make from file sharing? (plus Today's Reheated News Links)
Aug 05, 2004 in Linkage
Deprecated: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is deprecated, use preg_replace_callback instead in /home/inmyroom/public_html/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 76
Nuclear Elephant is running an interesting data-gathering experiment to determine just how much money the RIAA, MPAA and SPA may be making from consumers who sample content from file sharing services before buying the product.
Certainly one of the main arguments in favor of file sharing is that it allows users to sample content before they buy. Any file sharer (at least those with some disposable income) has noticed this effect, and has likely run out and bought an album, video game or DVD after they've tried it out. I myself ran out this weekend and bought Neverwinter Nights Gold for $40 after downloading it from Bit Torrent.
A little wackiness from a Congressional race here in Tennessee: Republican James Hart is an advocate of eugenics (read: Hitler's "master race") who is running unopposed for the GOP nomination, simply because local Reps didn't bother to run their own candidate against the 15-year incumbent Democrat.
From the current issue of Esquire: "The Case Against George W. Bush," written by none other than Ron Reagan (the son of that other Ronnie Reagan). Read this one if you're still on the fence.
A lot of noise has been made recently about Tom Ridge's occasional habit of announcing non-specific terror threats and bumping the terror alert up a notch. In the man's defense, I'd just like to say this: If you were al-Qaeda, and were planning a terrorist attack, and your target intercepted some of your communications and (vagely) announced your intentions to the world, don't you think that maybe you'd think twice about going on with your plan?
See, it's a deterrent effect! "Damn, they're onto us!" the terrorists must be saying. After all, they watch CNN too. It's hard to launch another terror attack when you always have to stay one step ahead of your target. Good job Mr. Ridge!

Gering in Scotts Bluff County, Nebraska — The American Midwest (Upper Plains)
Eroding Landmark
Little by little, Scotts Bluff is eroding away
You are now standing on the summit of Scotts Bluff, but each year a little more of it erodes away. In 1933 the top of the metal survey post in front of you was level with the rock surface. In just a few decades, a considerable volume of sandstone has been removed.
One by one, the grains of sand that make up this sedimentary rock break off, then blow or wash away. Given time, the persistent action of rain, ice, and wind will reduce Scotts Bluff to the level of the surrounding flatlands.
Human footsteps greatly accelerate the erosion of the soft sandstone formations. Please help to preserve Scotts Bluff for future generations by remaining on the hard-surfaced paths.
Erected by National Park Service.
Location. 41° 50.285′ N, 103° 41.925′ W. Marker is in Gering, Nebraska, in Scotts Bluff County. Marker can be reached from Old Oregon Trail, on the right when traveling west. Touch for map. Marker is located in Scotts Bluff National Monument, along the North Overlook Trail at the summit of the bluff. Marker is in this post office area: Gering NE 69341, United States of America.

Touch for a list and map of all markers in Gering.
More about this marker. An illustration at the center of the marker shows the process of erosion of the bluffs.

Data Structure holding information about a pending credit for an email address.
A pending credit is a record that a consumer with a specific email address should receive a certain amount of consumer credit if he/she takes a specific action. For example, if a pending credit exists for email address firstname.lastname@example.com with AwardTriggerType OnSignUp and value $10, a user who signs up for an account with email address email@example.com will receive a $10 consumer credit.
Currently supported AwardTriggerTypes:
ForNextPurchase - will award pending credits when a consumer makes a purchase, and apply the credits to that purchase.
AfterNextPurchase - will award pending credits when a consumer makes a purchase, but the credits will not be applied to that purchase (they will be available for future purchases).
OnSignUp - will award pending credits when a consumer record is created for the email address (e.g. when a profile is created, or before an anonymous purchase is made)
Pending credits that have expired will not be awarded to the consumer when the award trigger event occurs. Note that if your user management system does not require email verification during the account creation process, pending credits with AwardTriggerType OnSignUp are not secure, as any individual who signs up with that email address will get the consumer credits.

The Phantom of Liberty
Valerie Blanco as Aliette, the missing girl in plain sight in The Phantom of Liberty [Le fantôme de la liberté] (dir. Luis Buñuel, 1974).
"I'm sick of symmetry": Jean-Claude Brialy.
Doesn't everyone hang out with their sister while she plays piano naked? Adriana Asti and Julien Bertheau.
Buñuel takes the discontinuities and absurdities of The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie further still. Is there any other director whose approach, after decades, veers so resolutely towards comedy? (Usually it's the other way around.) And not just comedy, but very silly comedy.
Silly probably isn't the right word, as it denotes a lack of sense, and Phantom is far from senseless. What I mean to convey is the air of almost light-hearted farce that drifts through even the most violent or melancholy moments of the film. Prisoners are lined up against a wall and shot during the French Revolution. A man is diagnosed with an incurable disease, then goes home to find out that his daughter has been reported missing. A sniper picks off pedestrians from a room in a tall building. A police prefect is arrested for disinterring his dead sister. The stuff of surrealism, to be sure. But it is interspersed with material that would be in place in one of the British Carry On films of roughly the same period (actually, I've never seen any of those, but suddenly I want to): some swingers in a hotel try to get a bawdy party going with the other guests, including a group of monks; an ineffectual police academy instructor is mocked by his students; a polite party is held in which the guests gather around a table seated on toilets.
What gives it its weight, its significance, its unmistakable potency as art? Is it simply the expectations that accompany our awareness of the director's reputation? Well, probably in part. But even that speaks for the film's audacity. As I was saying, here's a veteran filmmaker who suddenly makes forays into whimsical parlor humor. Imagine if David Lynch's next movie were a college drinking farce a la Porky's.
More than that, however, Phantom is always resistant to classification, even in its most outwardly frivolous--or somber--moments. A great deal of it has to do with the pacing: the patient, unpredictable motion from one episode to the next, and the meandering stillnesses within each one, stillnesses that neither corrode into inertia nor harden into tension. A good deal of the time there is no good explanation for why we're watching what we're watching. It seems as though the camera had been set up just in case something important were to happen, and after the shooting had ended, the importance turned out to be as much in the waiting as in the payoffs. And yet there's no hint of improvisation, not at the level of plotting and transition. Everything is stamped with the confident anticipation of coherence.

Hi everyone. Yes, it's been over two months since I posted. I tried for a while to be more structured in my posting, but I've come to the conclusion that the structured life doesn't quite work for me. Not anymore. There's just too many variables that need to be accounted for and I can never get far enough ahead to account for everything that can come up. Chief among them is my health. I've got an auto-immune and an autonomic disease, which sends my body into a tizzy at any time, usually with no warning. Plans get thrown out the window in obedience to the symptom (or symptoms) of the day. So, in honor of the unpredictability of my circumstance, I'm going to post when I can, and not worry about it when I can't.
In the meantime, since my last post, I've received over 100 likes on my Facebook page and more subscribers here! Welcome to all. I've also decided to redesign my blog to place more emphasis on the pictures (with WordPress, it's easy enough to do), so I hope you like the new format.
Today, I've got some nail art I did when I was swatching Barielle.
The left color is Barielle Swizzle Stix, the right is Barielle U-Concrete Me, with Barielle Berry Blue in the middle. This turned out nice, I think. The colors complement each other.
I hope you enjoyed this post. I'm looking for suggestions on what to post next, so let me know in the comments what you'd like to see and I'll try to do it!

I, in no way, consider myself an expert when it comes to planning children's parties. I just really like it. I have had a few friends ask me for advice and tips and so I decided I'd put it all in a post (or two!).
When I sat down to write this post I thought it would be a quick post with just a couple of paragraphs. Then I ended up dumping out my brain and realized there was WAY too much for one post. So, I'm going to give it to you in pieces so you're not overwhelmed.
Now, as a disclaimer, I don't think there is one right way to plan a party (though certainly lots of wrong ways!) and this is just how I go about it. You might do things in a different order or skip some of these "steps" altogether. That's okay, but hopefully this will help you think through some of the details and help you plan an awesome party.
The first thing I do is brainstorm a theme. There are so many different themes out there. And tons of places to look. I usually start with Google. And I usually start with an image search so I can SEE the parties (I'm visual after all). You can go with "traditional," well known themes (such as trains, princesses, pirates and art parties) or you can go with trendy (movie or book related, pop culture) or you can go with truly unique (I can't give you examples because if it's truly unique then it hasn't been done *wink*).
Your best bet is to think about your child. What do they like? For Mady's last birthday I did a 1950's sock hop. In no way, shape or form would I say she's obsessed with the 50's, but she is into dancing, so that's what she was excited about and the 50's was what I was excited about (part of the party planning process is truly just for my enjoyment). If there isn't a particular thing the child is into you can go with more general kid-friendly themes (bubbles, polkadots, rainbows, dinosaurs or even just a simple colour.). Look through their toys for ideas (and cheap decor!).
Along with the theme choose your location; A park was a much better setting than home for our Teddy Bear's Picnic party. Once you know your location it will help you think through some of the other aspects of your party. Certain locations may offer you options for activities or limit what you can do so keep location in mind when you're planning. And if you're not at home, make sure there are washrooms close by!
Time line
What time of the day do you want your party? In the morning, afternoon or evening (maybe even overnight if it's a sleepover!)? Weekday or weekend?
I have some thoughts on this. Please, please, please think about the ages and stages of your guests. For example for Mady's first birthday I planned her party for early afternoon. Why? Because I thought that was when birthday parties were supposed to happen. I didn't think about the fact that most of the kids were still of the napping age (including the birthday girl!) and planning the party during nap time made for cranky kids (the parents did fabulous in keeping their kids happy, but I'm sure they thought I was nuts to have a party then).
For preschoolers, I have found the very best time to have a party is 10am (10:30 or 11am if they still have morning naps). This way everyone is at their happiest, you can serve lunch near the end and they're nicely worn out for their afternoon naps. And even better, the birthday child doesn't drive you nuts in their excitement over the party all day while you're trying to set everything up. In fact, most of the set up can be done the night before when they're in bed. It's brilliant really.
Older kids might want the early afternoon slot or the evening. Think about your guests and how life works for the them and plan accordingly.
As part of your time-line thinking, think about if you want to serve a meal, snacks or just dessert? This will play into when you want to host the party. And make sure you let your guests know so they can eat beforehand if needed or so they don't come straight from having a large dinner only to find you've prepared a 7 course meal.
A party isn't a party without food! But party food can range from full on meals to simple cake and ice cream. It's all up to how much work you want to put in and how much is in your budget. Consider how many people you're inviting and if they're all kids or if there are a bunch of adults in the mix. Remember the more people you're feeding the more expensive it will be. So for large parties you may want to limit it to just dessert.
Kids will let you get away with simpler foods (though under the umbrella of a kid's party, the adults are pretty forgiving!). And keeping the food as part of the theme lets you get away with less and simpler foods. It doesn't have to be fancy. You can give chips a fun name ("Computer chips" for a robot party) and people think it's great.
When I plan food I think about this:
-something sweet, something salty/savoury, something somewhat nutritious (such as fruit/veggies). If your food table has something of each of these then generally everyone can enjoy, even those on crazy diets.
-Remember allergies and palette preferences. I always ask about allergies either on the invite or when guests RSVP. Nothing would ruin a party quicker than an allergic reaction. If I can't make everything allergy-friendly (such as dairy-free) I try to always have something for that person as an alternative. And this is especially true with things like the cake! No child wants to feel left out.
As for the palette preference, this is usually tied to ages. 12 year olds will eat more interesting food than 4 year olds. There is no point creating a baked brie for the young ones if they won't even eat it!
-How will food be served? Is this sit down, buffet or finger food? If most of your food is finger food, make it all finger food (it's easier for you!). Try to avoid super messy foods. It's not fun to clean up! And remember the cutlery and napkins!
-Think about where you'll set up the food. I try to have it set up in a separate spot than where the rest of the party is taking place so that it can all be set out at the beginning and I'm not busy in the kitchen missing the party.
Whew, has that got you thinking? I'll talk about activities and decorations (and some other tips) tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Rugby World Cup 2007
Argentina see off brave Georgia
PA Sport
September 11, 2007
Lucas Borges grounds the ball in the corner for an Aregentina try

Argentina scored four second-half tries to secure a hard-fought bonus-point victory over determined Georgia and make it two wins out of two in World Cup Pool D. The Pumas were on the front foot throughout but, owing to some tremendous defending by Georgia, were only 6-3 up at half-time courtesy of two Felipe Contepomi penalties.
The second half was a different story however, and as the grizzled Georgians tired, Lucas Borges (two), Patricio Albacete and Federico Martin Aramburu - with the game's last act - went over for tries. Contepomi, with three penalties and two conversions, grabbed a 13-point haul with Merab Kvirikashvili scoring Georgia's only points.
A sensational rearguard action had helped Argentina defeat hosts France 17-12 in the tournament's opening game on Friday, but the boot was on the other foot. The first half was spent almost entirely in the Georgian half, yet the Pumas harvested just two penalties for their efforts.
That was down in part to some sloppy mistakes from Marcelo Loffreda's men, but praise should go to the mighty Georgian defence, who showed an unyielding appetite throughout for head-on confrontation. It was the eastern Europeans who took the lead, Kvirikashvili taking advantage of Contepomi's spill from the kick-off, then Argentinian indiscipline to boot a simple penalty.
They then defended for their lives, some bruising tackling helping them keep the lead for 10 minutes. Argentina restored parity with a 12th-minute Contepomi penalty and they were glad to see Kvirikashvili miss his second attempt at a three-pointer a minute later.
The Argentinians held the whip hand but they just could not break down their opponents' rearguard. Albacete was held up just before the line while repeated bludgeoning assaults five metres out were repelled on the half-hour mark. Georgia eventually succumbed to indiscipline in the 35th minute, an offside call allowing Contepomi to boot his second penalty from under the posts.
There were just three points in it at the interval but an 11-minute spell at the start of the second half decided the game. In the 47th minute, Sale flanker Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe's show-and-go 20 metres out fooled the Georgia outside defence and he was able to set Borges free down the right flank for a score Contepomi converted.
The Leinster fly-half - playing at centre here - kicked his third successful penalty to stretch the lead to 16-3 before Borges notched his second try. Juan Martin Hernandez capitalised on a handling error in the Georgia back-line and sent in the winger, who outmanoeuvred covering defender Mamuka Gorgodze to ground. The try needed confirmation from upstairs. Albacete handed off Avtandil Kopaliani to barge over for the third try but Aramburu grabbed the bonus point by scorching over for the fourth with seconds remaining.
Argentina: (6) 33
Georgia: (3)
Argentina: Corleto, Borges, Pedro Tiesi, F. Contepomi, Martin-Aramburu, Martin Hernandez, Fernandez Miranda, Ayerza, Ledesma, Bonorino, Kairelis, Albacete, Durand, J. Fernandez Lobbe, Leguizamon.

The De La Salle Christian Brothers are pleased to announce Michael Anderer as founding President of their new Lasallian school, Cristo Rey De La Salle East Bay High School, in Oakland, California. Anderer currently serves as the Vice President for Mission Advancement at De Marillac Academy in San Francisco, California. He will conclude his De Marillac Academy duties at the end of this academic year, and begins as President of Cristo Rey De La Salle East Bay High School on July 1, 2017.
Brother Visitor Donald Johanson, FSC, praised the progress of the school thus far, stating, "We appreciate Bishop Michael Barber's invitation to serve the families of the East Bay and are grateful for our collaboration with the Cristo Rey Network. I am also impressed by the commitment of the founding Board of Trustees, Project Manager John Scudder, and volunteer leaders like Steve Wilcox and the other members of the Founders Circle. Many talented and generous individuals, including Michael Anderer, are partnering together to make this dream a reality."
Anderer brings to this role more than 25 years of experience in educational communities as a teacher, campus minister, community organizer, principal and president. He has served primarily in non-tuition driven educational institutions that serve youth and families growing up in challenging social and economic circumstances, including schools in Camden, New Jersey; Chicago, Illinois; and the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco, California.
Dr. Carole Swain, Trustee Board Chair, noted, "Michael Anderer brings extensive leadership experience to this initiative, along with a deep passion and creative fidelity for serving underserved students and their families. The Board of Trustees is enthusiastic about his appointment as our President and CEO, and his longstanding commitment to the Lasallian Catholic educational mission. We are excited to support him in these critical months and years ahead. We also remain grateful for the support of the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose, and are proud to continue the rich educational legacy of Saint Elizabeth High School."
"I am humbled, honored and excited," Anderer says, "to build a new educational community in the city of Oakland. I am thrilled to partner with local businesses and corporations across the East Bay to bring this innovative educational model to life." Anderer looks forward to working closely with the St. Elizabeth High School alumni in building upon their history, tradition and spirit. He will also be forming the school's founding team of administrators this spring and looks forward to welcoming 125 freshmen to the school in the fall of 2018. Cristo Rey De La Salle East Bay High School will ultimately serve 500 low-income youth and their families from the underserved neighborhoods of the East Bay region of Northern California.

|Friday's children : an examination of theologies of martyrdom in the light of the mimetic theory of Rene Girard.
|Kirwan, Michael Joseph.
|Awarding Body:
|Heythrop College (University of London)
|Current Institution:
|Heythrop College (University of London)
|Date of Award:
|Availability of Full Text:
The thesis looks in detail at different understandings of the phenomenon and significance of Christian martyrdom, with a view to what is needed for an adequate doctrine of martyrdom for the present day. My primary methodological tool will be the 'mimetic' theory associated with the cultural anthropologist Rene Girard, which looks at the interrelations between culture, religion and violence. I work, therefore, with two aims in view: firstly, an enhanced doctrine of martyrdom, and secondly, an assessment of the utility or otherwise of mimetic theory when applied to a particular area of Christian doctrine. In a preliminary first chapter, I establish the theological context within which questions about martyrdom are to be raised, namely the doctrine of atonement. I provide a survey of recent reflection on the principal metaphors of atonement (victory over demonic powers, justice, sacrifice), and indicate how this approach may be of hel p in constructing a theology of martyrdom. The second chapter offers a description and definition of Christian martyrdom by way of an extensive historical survey, drawing upon biblical, martyrological and 'patristic sources. I show how this 'classical' doctrine of martyrdom contains a number of problematic aspects. A discussion of twentieth-century reflections and reworkings of the theme of martyrdom reveals further complexities for an adequate doctrine. It is these aporias, I contend, which require a fresh theoretical approach- namely, that of mimetic theory- if an adequate doctrine is to be worked out. Chapter Three introduces the mimetic theory associated with Girard and developed for systematic theology by the Swiss Jesuit, Raymund Schwager, and essays a critical assessment. I contend that mimetic theory opens up two methodological options for a reflection on martyrdom: a radical hermeneutic of suspicion, and the basis of a 'dramatic' theology. On the basis of these two options, therefore, the discussion of the final fourth chapter addresses the aporias of the theology of martyrdom. I confirm here the abiding importance of martyrdom for systematic theology, while making explicit the criteria (drawn from mimetic theory and other sources) by which a non-pathological, 'authentic' theology of martyrdom may be affirmed. The preceding discussions are illustrated by means of two Appendices, which look in more detail at selected scriptural passages and early martyrological texts.

Below are two key investments I made during this module. I found these glasses with coloured filters on Amazon and thought they would be ideal for studio brief 1 and 2. As my publication is relevant to both briefs I am able to combine the two together and then create my further range of products which is really positive.
More recently I came across this talking paper in the pound land. I had been looking for a recording device for quite a while but hadn't been able to find any which were affordable. I have been able to use this to create a sensory board for submission which I am really pleased about.

Some Home Remedies for Sensitive Teeth
If you develop sensitivity in one or more teeth, first see your dentist to determine the cause. Then, if your sensitivity is caused by simple enamel abrasion or by normal gum recession, try the following home remedies for relief:
Bring on the desensitizing toothpaste. Unfortunately, widespread tooth sensitivity due to enamel abrasion or gum-line recession can't be treated with dental fillings. Instead, try brushing with a desensitizing toothpaste, which you can buy over the counter. These special toothpastes contain ingredients that diminish sensitivity by filling channels (known as tubules) in the dentin.
Try putting some of the toothpaste on your finger or on a cotton swab and spreading it over the sensitive spots before you go to bed. Spit, but don't rinse. Within a few weeks, your teeth should begin to feel less sensitive.
Try a fluoride rinse. Fluoride rinses, available without a prescription at your local pharmacy or in the dental section of grocery stores, can help decrease sensitivity, especially for people plagued with decay problems. Use it once a day. Swish it around in your mouth, then spit it out.
Sometimes, people with sensitive teeth need a stronger fluoride rinse or gel than the ones available over the counter. For example, some treatments for gum disease, such as root planing (which reduces plaque), can leave sensitive teeth even more sensitive than usual. In such situations, dentists can apply a fluoride gel that helps relieve the problem.
Keep your teeth clean. Plaque, the white gummy substance that forms on teeth, produces an acid that irritates teeth, especially if your choppers are naturally sensitive. Wage a daily attack against plaque by brushing at least twice, preferably right after eating and especially before bed, and flossing at least once.
Use a soft toothbrush. Often, people actually cause tooth sensitivity by brushing with too much force and/or brushing with a hard-bristled brush, which can damage the protective tooth enamel. When the gum-line recedes (often as a natural part of the aging process), exposed dentin becomes even more vulnerable to toothbrush abrasion. Use a brush with the softest bristles you can find, and apply only a small amount of pressure when brushing (actually, a lighter touch also allows the bristles to move more freely and do their job more effectively than when you press too hard).
Stop snuffing. Chewing tobacco, also known as "dip" or "snuff," is a popular habit in some groups, especially among many male teenagers. They mistakenly believe it's less harmful than smoking cigarettes. However, in addition to causing mouth cancers, chewing tobacco causes the gums to recede, a major cause of gum sensitivity and decay. Just as there is no safe cigarette, there is no safe tobacco.
Habits like sucking on hard candy, while certainly healthier than chewing snuff, can also cause enamel abrasion and tooth sensitivity.

Océ Announces Next Generation of Award-Winning Océ VarioPrint 6000 Family
Wednesday, September 12, 2007
Press release from the issuing companySeptember 10, 2007 - CHICAGO - Océ, a global leader in digital document management and delivery, announces the next generation of its award-winning Océ VarioPrint family, the industry's most productive single-pass digital duplex printers. The latest version of this unique product line offers significant advancements in workflow management and interoperability, sustainability and productivity. Demonstrating the Océ commitment to investment protection, the "next generation" capabilities are available as a software upgrade for all VarioPrint 6000 printers, including current customers.
"With this new generation, we continue building on the success of the award-winning Océ VarioPrint 6250," said Jan Dix, Executive Vice President, Océ Digital Document Systems. "The latest release of this revolutionary product family features numerous enhancements that help our customers further improve productivity to take their businesses beyond the ordinary."
Expanded Interoperability Complements Workflow Automation
With newly expanded workflow automation and interoperability capabilities, workflow can be structured for maximum productivity. Customers can direct existing applications to an Océ VarioPrint 6000 system without workflow interruption or reprogramming, enabling Océ systems to easily co-exist with or replace other systems in mixed environments. A new PDL and job ticket architecture offers a wider range of PDL/ticket combinations, and extended ticket support contributes to more effortless workflow. Customers gain versatility to organize print production based on scheduling and customer requirements. Users can define up to 10 customized print queues, and multiple jobs can be bundled and printed as one set.
Environmental Sustainability Remains a Strong Focus
Environmental sustainability has been a defining philosophy at Océ for more than 50 years, and the company remains committed to reducing ozone, dust and toner emissions and minimizing waste and to improving working conditions for operators. The Océ VarioPrint 6000 family is the most recent example of sustainable Océ products. With Océ Gemini Instant Duplex printing and efficient single-pass technology, paper, toner and energy are used more economically in Océ VarioPrint 6000 printers. The high level of productivity of the Océ VarioPrint 6250 system enables consolidation of installed devices and provides significant advantages, either as a standalone device or in groups of devices.
Compared to major installations of competitive cut-sheet duplex systems, the Océ VarioPrint 6250 system consumes up to 45 percent less energy to print than competitive cut-sheet systems, helping customers save thousands of dollars per year in energy costs. With Océ Gemini Instant Duplex technology, VarioPrint systems emit only a fraction of the ozone of comparable high-volume cut-sheet devices. The printers do not require a toner waste bottle, as they efficiently use all available toner, eliminating waste and its environmental impact. As an ENERGY STAR partner, Océ is deeply committed to products that meet the program's guidelines, and the next-generation Océ VarioPrint 6000 products are fully ENERGY STAR compliant with wattage actually 35 percent below ENERGY STAR requirements.
Enhancements Drive Greater Productivity and Usability
Known for its user-friendly operation, the Océ VarioPrint 6000 family now includes enhancements to drive productivity even further. A 60,000-sheet roll feeder boosts input capacity, while a third high-capacity stacker brings output capacity to a maximum of 22,000 sheets, further extending the platform's reputation for heavy duty production and long periods of unattended printing.
Operators and managers gain better queue management and real time production status via remote view through a PC or handheld device. Another example of improved usability is that the Océ VarioPrint 6000 family has adopted the award-winning Océ-developed OCEAN Interface with its intuitive information and system management. The highly intuitive operation is more accessible to operators of all skill levels.
The Océ VarioPrint 6000 family contains several features that comply with the requirements of Section 508 and make the equipment and digital technology easier to use and more accessible to people with disabilities. These features include components like screens and stackers that can accommodate different height requirements and devices that can automate certain physical tasks, such as emptying the stacker.
The next generation VarioPrint 6000 versions are expected to be available in November 2007.
