"Just four short years ago, this plant lay idle, one of the countless casualties of a national recession that cost millions of Americans their jobs and struck at the very heart of our nation's confidence," Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett said.
"But now, because of Pennsylvania ingenuity and innovation, our booming energy sector has led to an increase for demand in rail cars to transport goods," he added.
ACF closed its Milton plant in 2009 because of declining sales. Current growth in the energy industry has created a shortage of railroad storage tank cars and components, allowing ACF to now reopen the plant.
Already hiring 230 employees since its reopening, ACF expects to create a total of 333 jobs and retain 20 existing jobs in the next three years. The company received $483,000 in state funding from the Governor's Action Team for machinery and equipment purchases, as well as employee training.
"The rebirth of this company represents growth in traditional manufacturing, re-energized by the natural gas industry," Corbett said. "By supporting our expanding energy sector and helping to connect industries, we are helping to create a new Pennsylvania."
Rail cars manufactured in Milton will be shipped to gas fields in the Dakotas and Canada and will be used to carry crude oil to refineries across the country, including the Philadelphia refineries.
Also, because of the increased extraction of propane from Marcellus Shale and continued growth in the natural gas industry, the company is making plans to begin manufacturing stationary propane tanks at the Milton location by the end of 2013.
A large natural gas consumer itself, ACF chose to reopen its Milton plant, as opposed to another location in the United States, because of the low cost of energy in Pennsylvania.

Adonai is the Hebrew word meaning "my lord, my master", from adon, "lord, master". It is mostly used as "Lord" God in the Old Testament.
There is no master but Adonai. All others are pretenders and false gods that cannot help and cannot save. Adonai reigns over all the Earth and the Heavens and everything that was, is, and ever shall be. The word Lord has been so diluted even used to describe some men, but there is only one Lord, the majesty that is Christ. And the universe continues moving, existing, breathing, and forming but above it all is Adonai.
There is no power but Adonai and His power has no limits, it is exalted in the heavens and throughout the Earth. There is none worthy, none so exalted as Adonai. His beauty eclipses our imagination and to be given a five second glimpse of Adonai would certainly immobilize us in our present bodies. The Creator God has made beauty upon this Earth for His glory, but this beauty will make way for a new heaven and a new earth but there will never be a new Adonai, He is perfectly beautiful in every dimension and one fleeting glance will buckle the knees of any creature born of woman. Go ahead, imagine what He must look like, you are mistaken my brothers and my sisters. Adonai is infinitely greater and more beautiful than any heart can conjure up and He cannot be captured by the most Spirit filled imagination. Flawless in glory and indescribable in His breathtaking visage, and just His presence is overwhelming, our Adonai is exalted for all to worship.
Adonai is deserving of adulation and praise but most importantly He warrants utter and complete subjection. Slavish obedience is His due and no one can abide in His presence with pride and self will. Bow down and speak with fear and trembling, "Here am I, Adonai, speak and your servant will obey". And as His power permeates your very being you are consumed with His everlasting love and worship is your only expression before His Majestic Lordship. Adonai the Universal Ruler spreads out His Lordship like an eagle spreads his massive wings and takes flight with an eye over his domain. There is no competition for His kingdom and this Everlasting Potentate neither sleeps nor slumbers and there is no searching of His understanding.
Do not think we serve a cringing and maligned king, oh no, there is coming an apocalypse, an unveiling, a breach in the fabric that separates the temporal from the eternal and through it comes a celestial stampede with an innumerable company of saints riding back into the Earth surrounded by heavens glory and following their Conquering Lord, Adonai. No one shall stand, no one will argue, and all the reasons and excuses of man will fall silent before the powerful glory that robes this Lord. Adonai will claim His victory like no one has ever seen before and the whole earth will bow before His might. Even the place of the skull where they killed Him will now be His and Adonai will reign as Lord over all from the very city that stoned the prophets and rejected the very One who now returns. The power of His wrath should make even His loyal subjects tremble for no one has been a witness to the flaming fire that is His entourage.
And as He ascends up the steps of the Temple in the city of peace He turns, gazes over the spoils that are now His reward, and He sits upon His throne. Every corner of the universe fall before Him and every tongue confesses that "Jesus is Lord". Adonai now reigns for all to see, high and lifted up, sitting on a throne, and His train has filled eternity. Beautiful, majestic, glorious, powerful, august, and the Eternal Redeemer Lord, Adonai. The Creator on man, the Giver of life, the Savior of souls, and He who inhabits eternity.

Today With Sean O Rourke Tuesday 15 April 2014
The mid-morning current affairs magazine with the stories of the day, sharp analysis, sports coverage, in-depth features and consumer interest.
There is growing tension in Ukraine where armed pro-Russian separatists have seized control of buildings in the east of the country, including a police station, despite threats of military action by authorities in Kiev.
President Barack Obama has told the Russian President Vladamir Putin that Moscow would face further costs for it's actions and that Russian troops needed to withdraw from Ukraine's border to defuse tensions.
Olexiy Solohubenko, Editor at BBC Global news and Ambassador Dan Baer, head of the US Mission to the OSCE based in Vienna joined Sean.
Policing on the cheap, rats in our Garda stations, Whistle-blowers, drunks, being unable to chase criminals in their souped up cars and a no-show by the Minister for Justice, Alan Shatter. That was just some of the drama at the Annual Conference of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors which opened in Killarney Co Kerry yesterday afternoon.
Our reporter Valerie Cox joined Sean from Killarney as well as John Jacob, Deputy General Secretary of the Association.
Yesterday the internal review panel the HSE warned that salary top ups for hospital executives and healthcare providers must end within three months. However it's a move that could be subject to a legal challenge.
Sean was joined by Susan Mitchell of the Sunday Business Post.
As the economy slowly gets back on its feet, the aftermath of the downturn has been felt no harder than in rural areas. Between 2006 and 2011 there was a 192% increase in the number of rural unemployed compared with a 144% increase among the urban unemployed.
Yesterday, the Taoiseach launched a report making a series of recommendations to revive rural areas. Chairman of the Commission for the Economic Development of Rural Areas Pat Spillane joined Sean this morning.
Marie Louise O'Donnell was talking to young people from the Youth Advisory Council of Ireland.
The last day of cross examination of Oscar Pistorius continues in Pretoria. Prosecutor Gerrie Nel has concluded questioning and he is being re-examined by his defence barrister, Barry Roux.
Sean was joined by Fiona Forde.

Submission + - Infamous Chinese Hacker Heading Antivirus Firm? (krebsonsecurity.com)
Ian Lamont writes: "Brian Krebs has uncovered evidence that Anvisoft, a Chinese antivirus startup, may be operated by Tan Dailin, a notorious Chinese hacker known as "Wicked Rose" or "Withered Rose". In 2006, Tan was allegedly the leader of a Chinese government-sponsored team called NCPH (short for Network Crack Program Hacker) that took advantage of a zero-day vulnerability in Microsoft Word to conduct attacks against an unnamed U.S. military organization. Krebs used DNS records, Google Translate, and other tools to make the connection, but acknowledges that it could be a coincidence or hoax. He concludes:
"Anvisoft may in fact be a legitimate company, with a legitimate product; and for all I know, it is. But until it starts to answer some basic questions about who's running the company, this firm is going to have a tough time gaining any kind of credibility or market share."

Pershing wrote:Nothing wrong with missing a turn as a strategy but no deadbeating.
Nothing wrong? really?? Can't you simply predicte, that if you get a 5th spoil? you'll cash it by 4??? (or another number). You don't have to be a genius to calculate that... it's as easy as not taking a spoil in your previous round, no one forces you to take a spoil.
And also, if you miss a turn while holding 5 spoils in an escalating while the value goes to be important, it would be surprising that you survive to take another turn. Afterall, this is the best prey in an escalating game.

This may be the first time a spoiler pic and then a written preview had me skipping home on cloud nine. Ever since OB, there is something magical about tents and camping. I am going to get really personal here for a moment so dont get shocked. I know dramas do this all the time and even in this one it was already done, but watching a character stare at the back of someone they love just kills me every time. cuz even though they are looking at the back of their head- one of the most unromantic body parts, the act itself is what gets to me. for those few minutes they are free to memorize everything about the other person -allowing their imagination to run free and envision what it's going to be like to live with this person, have hopes and dreams with this person, but most importantly – how they can help each other grow as human beings. It's in that little window of defining moment where you just know with clarity "this is it- this is the person I was meant to love" and the longer you look- the more certain you become. seriously, if I sold camping gear and tents, I would write that into the brochure. that would be the selling point. if you buy this tent and go camping, it might be the beginning of the rest of your lives together. that way romantic people forget about the bugs and inconvenience and just focus on the possibility of getting closer. that would make me go camping in a heartbeat.

Thank you Sparkskey for translating this. I know you didnt come up with the idea of the preview itself, but just the way you translated it makes this episode sound like a dream. Sparkskey's preview for this episode: Daran quarrels with Yoonjae and leaves him behind to head to the camping ground with her family. In order to make the couple more loving, her family calls Yoonjae over and leaves, leaving the two of them behind. Yoonjae's dad meets with Kyungjoon's uncle because he wants to bring Kyungjoon to the states.
Starts from K saying how just cuz he is a kid there is no need for her to give everything up and quit. should i compensate for you. D: are you crazy. even if I give everything up and quit, why would you compensate for that. K says I am the one who made you get married so since it was hard on you and you quit everything I should take responsibility. as long as you keep that ring on, I will never break my promise not to go to you. but if you take that ring off, I will think it's ok cuz you like me and I will take you right away. that is not a threat for you to take the ring off right now, but i will not encourage you to continue keeping that ring on. just think of it as reassurance cuz you were crying cuz you were having a hard time. she asks how she could agree to that. K: I already made my offer. you wont have time to struggle over it cuz no one knows when we will switch – I will never break the promise to get lost as soon as we switch. If you want to see KKJ then take that ring off. He walks off and says if you don't want to go up and see YJ's mom then let's go
In the car she sneaks looks at him so he says just be blatant and stare. she asks if he doesnt feel anything after saying all that. K: I wasnt expecting anything so I'm ok. it's not like you are going to take the ring off. Gil DR- Are you even struggling over it? (as in thinking it over seriously) she blows it off and says struggle over what. K: at least this time you didn't bring up calling me a blood clot. as soon as you said that I was going to call it quits. does that mean you dont want me to give up? D: after saying such serious things, can you joke about it? K: that means it's not a joke. Gil DR- Are you really struggling over it? She denies it: I dont. K: then why cant I kid around
YJ's dad tells the mom that the kid is in the hospital unconscious. mom: so? dad: KJ is in the kid who saved YJ. we cant act like we dont know the kid. She says how YJ saved that kid's life -they were in the same accident together so YJ saved that kid's life. Then it's already been paid back. The dad is shocked and asks: then you already knew that kid was in the hospital? mom: YJ is looking for that kid's dad. I told him I didnt know anything. are you going to tell YJ everything and make me the bad person again. He asks then do you want to throw away KJ again – I cant do that. She says then you choose- long ago -in order to stay by YJ and my side, you gave up that woman and the kid. now which side are you on? is it with me and YJ or KKJ. I am saying this clearly but one side, you wont be able to see forever.
*she is evil but what an empty threat. how does she intend to control a full grown man – YJ will see whoever he wants just like he planned to marry whoever he wanted. YJ was a good son but he was not blindly obedient. plus she only sees her husband once a year anyway so he wouldnt be losing out not seeing her forever. I would choose KJ if I was in the dad's situation. and maybe look into a divorce laywer while I am at it cuz the woman is off her rockers.
K tells her not to be so protective of her ring so much – will I take it away when you take it off to do dishes. She says I am not going to pay it any mind. she wears it after her shower so they repeat the same dialogue. K: are you going to wear that ring no matter where you go? you think i would go in to take the ring away while you wash your hair. D: I said I am not paying it any mind.
D goes to her room and looks at her ring then the sunflowers.
AK asks D: are you worried about something? (struggling over something). D denies it – if I take a kid's joke seriously then I would be crazy. AK: from what I can see it's serious. you were staring at your ring all day. Did something happen with YJ. D seeks advice from AK by using her joseon scenario. if a woman didnt have feelings for her husband who is coming back, what should I do not to be tempted by the young man next door. AK says not seeing them at all is the clearest way. whether you kick out the young man living next door or the woman moves out. D: that's true -not seeing him is the best way.D asks if a job in Chunchon is still available. AK says the job was already taken. why? arent you going to stay at this school. D: I just wanted to look into it.
D is washing her sneakers and K comes over and kids around with her. K: take off your precious ring and do that. just cuz you take off the ring while you are washing your sneakers you think I would make any moves. let me know when you are done washing the sneakers. I will tie the laces for you. K goes in
she follows him inside and says you make a person pay attention to it and are you joking around now? K: just keep thinking i am joking around and pay attention to it. it's better. she says this isnt the situation where I should match you childish jokes. K: then does it mean you want to continue being an adult and endure? I am asking cuz I am curious but what are you enduring so much? what is it that you have to endure? is it SYJ who you miss? or is it his braggart of a mom? or is it SYJ's dad who is hard to talk to? D: it's you. K: me? D: yes KKJ you are the most difficult. K: why me? I said let's get along well and was good to you. D: that's right – while waiting for YJ, I laugh with you and get along with you and had fun with you so that was the hardest. K: that was hard? what would you have done if I was even better to you? then you would have died cuz it was so hard on you. D:anyway that was the wrong thing to do. I was bad and I wont do it anymore. when you find your dad- you dont need me right? so let's not see each other again. there is no need for you to take responsibility. K: ok since we dont need each other that worked out well. let's do that. let's not see each other.
He goes back into his room thinking since YJ is coming back soon she is getting her things in order in advance and getting rid of him. (as in get rid of him from her heart and life)
D takes a trashbag and throws away the sunflowers, YJ's walkman, the guide book on china. when K goes out he sees her throwing away the alcohol her dad gave him, their pandas.
so he goes into his room and says she already started putting things in order then I should too. he picks up a trashbag, but there is nothing in his room to throw out
He goes out and yells: Gil DR, I want to put things in order too but there was nothing I received so there is nothing to throw away. look at this -during that time you didn't do anything for me. he looks at her bag and says-look at this, I did a lot for you. I did this many things for you so you almost died from it being so hard on you. what would you have done if I filled this up to the top. you would have already died. he throws the bag down and walks off
D picks up his empty bag and says to herself- I really didn't do anything for him. She takes out the trash. D: Let's throw all this out. he watched her throw it out and walks off hurt and angry.
She comes back out and goes to the trash. She looks inside the trash bag and takes out the sunflowers. She says the flowers will wilt anyway so I will leave it till it wilts. Then she looks at the pandas and says why look at me when I am going to throw you away. She pets it and hugs it. she looks at her guide book and says I could still go to china. She opens up the wall of china map and sees what K threw. This kid took me to the great wall of china too. She starts to cry. She takes her bag back inside.
she looks at the empty trash bag that K brought out. she cries and says KJ ah -I am sorry. She says softly into the bag – I like you. she throws out that empty bag filled with just air and her words.
M tells K that the man didn't contact her dad again. why didnt he come. He thinks that person who came was the right one (his father). She wonders if the guy just came once secretly to look at KJ and that's the end of it. if he doesnt contact again will we not be able to find him. K says if he doesn't contact again it's his loss. I will go back soon and wake up so he almost had a son who is smart, wealthy, and is obedient, but now he doesnt. M agrees -that's right – it's that ajussi's loss. K: Don't tell Gil teacher cuz she is waiting for the day I find my father so she can get things in order so she will be disappointed. she even cleaned out everything. M: even if you dont find your dad it doesnt matter. if you go back to your place, let's go back to america with me. but he says after my bday passes, no matter where I live alone again, it wont matter. when it gets to that time I will have found it and put things in order
The aunt tells the uncle to call the american bank and find out in advance how much money will come out on KJ's bday. uncle says when his bday passes I will look into it. the name of the restaurant is "Miracle." YJ's dad shows up and stares at KJ's mom's pic
S meets with YJ's mom and tells her KJ's friends are looking for his dad. I thought you should know. mom: that side is looking too? the mom changes the subject and asks: was there another person when DR and YJ were apart. S says not sure- why? the mom says suddenly D said to me that she didnt have any right. it didnt sound like she was just saying that for no reason. it seemed like she felt guilty over doing something bad. S says D came to see me too and seemed upset and blamed me about the past. mom: she did? S says it seems YJ is treating D way better now than before so I don't know what is bothering D. the mom says I looked forward to YJ coming back to the way he used to be in the past but D said she would stay next to the YJ now so I dont like her as time goes by
D packs drinks in a cooler and tells K I knew you wouldn't go but this is my family trip so I cant skip out. I will tell them you are going to a coworker's wedding. K: when they call, I am going to tell them I am at home. She scowls and asks to use the car. He says It will be better to cool off the car in advance. he uses his phone as a remote to turn on the heat on purpose.
when D goes to load the trunk a wave of hot air hits her. D: it's so hot – why is it like this. K: uh oh I meant to turn the AC on but I turned on the heater. it's like a sauna. he tells her to leave the car behind. She says her parents are coming so go inside so you wont run into them but he says why should I -they arent people I will be seeing again anyway (cuz things will go back to normal soon and YJ will take his place). he turns the AC on in the car. D tells her parents I got everything so let's go now. the mom says to K: you are home. D lies that K is going to a wedding now so the dad asks dressed like that? he asks K: are you going to a wedding? K says I am not going. Her mom and CS invite him to go camping with them. CS: hurry and come. but K says I wont go and goes inside. D explains we fought so let's just the family go. I will drive.
K goes in and says how he was supposed to "find rocks with the ajussi and the ajumma said she would make me kimbap and I was going to watch porn with CS." (he started to say play games but switched to the truth). "what a waste." He regrets not going
D instructs her family – no one contact YJ. they were all texting him at that moment so they put their phones down and then text secretly
K starts getting one text after another
K decides to throw away all her stuff -from here on there will be nothing that belongs to Gil DR – I will throw it all away for her. he throws away her mug, toothbrush, house slippers, and chopsticks and stuff. But then he finds her trashbag that she didn't throw away.K: she brought it back. It would have been a waste to throw it away. He smiles and goes back and puts all her stuff back where they go. (I am dying from the cuteness)
K gets a text from D's dad-Seo son in law, we need to choose a son in law rock. The mom says Seo son in law -guess what I put in the kimbap. come and eat it and guess. Even CS texts -brother in law – you said to rebel for only a short time. K: what to do when they only want me to come – you should tell me where you are
D is looking for a rock to represent K and finds one that fits his personality-jagged, rough, and shiny. it's just like KKJ.
She goes back to camp and no one is there. she wonders if they all went grocery shopping. she sets down two rocks. A man comes over and says you must have come alone. She thinks he is hitting on her so she looks flattered and says I came with my family. Then she realizes it's K. D: how did you know to come here? K: cuz your family kept asking me so much so I had no choice but to come. D: I told them not to contact you no matter what. K: I really didnt want to come too but your family kept sending me texts. look. another one came. it's from her mom and it said : seo son in law-did you arrive well? dont fight with DR and reconcile. the two of you enjoy your time together. D: why is she asking us to have fun together just the two of us? (Her parents left all the gear and tent but took the car)
in the car her family laughs. the dad says let's eat kimbap on the way by the river and sleep at a pension and go tm to pick them up. mom says since they dont have a car they cant come without throwing away the tent and stuff. CS says I did well to be sensible enough to tell brother in law to take a cab here (so K and D would be stuck without transportation till tm)
D checks and says her family left with all the food. K says they thought it over a lot and ran off. they wanted us to make food well and left us that one sleeping tent to get along as married couple. D wonders why her family has no foresight/sense but K points out if they had quick foresight they should have sensed I wasn't YJ sooner. He looks through the rocks and asks if they were gathered to use as Seo son in law rock. he doesnt think any of them is like him. then he sees the one D chose. K: this one seems.. D: does that seem like you? K: did you choose this? she says yes – it seems like you huh? K: what's the point? I wont be part of this family anyway. he tosses it away. He gets up and says let's go. she says I have to watch over this stuff so go alone if you are leaving. K: are you just going to stay here? let's go look around. D: huh? K: then should I really go alone? I will count to 3. 1- should I really go? 2-last one. 3! and she gets up. K: let's go. she waves her ring finger like a shield and follows him.
They walk and she says how pretty the sunflowers are. He says if she thought it was so pretty- why throw it out. she pics one up off the ground and he sticks it behind her ear. she sets up her camera to take pics of herself with a remote. K mutters she didnt say once to take a pic cuz if he treats her well she will die from it being so hard on her. each time she tries to take a photo, K gets in her shots. OMG cutest poses ever. I could stare at these all day. there is one where he sticks his butt out.
They play under the water spray. he picks her up and swings her around. he warns her – you better not call me a blood clot one more time or I will toss you in so she promises not to and calls him oppa in joseon talk.
When they are at the store the saleswoman says how good they look together. is he your boyfriend? D: no. the woman asks then -Are you a married couple. D says no- he is my dongsang (younger brother). the woman says D looks older than she looks then. K comes over and pretends to be defensive and stick up for D and says to the woman: what are you talking about? our noona looks…older than she looks. so D hits him. A sunbae D knows is there and calls out her name. she goes over and says hello to him. it's good to see you. he says it's the first time they met since graduation. The man shakes her hand and hugs her saying how good it is to see her so K walks over aiming his cucumber like a gun trained on the guy as his target. she asks if he came here for fun and realizes his school is here. the man says yes it's right out front. come and visit. he notices K and asks if she came with her dongsang. D says yes. She pulls the man aside and asks if there is a job position nearby so she can transfer. he promises to look into a position and asks if it's urgent. she says yes. They exchange phone numbers. she thanks him and he says let's meet later. When she goes back to K he asks: you must want to move tents. (meaning home) She says after dinner I am going to take a quick look. let's go.
As they go back to camp, a young girl comes over and asks K : sorry but could you open this for me. he opens the jar for her. she thanks him asks if they came as a couple so K says no she is my noona. a noona that is a lot older. The girl asks for him to help set their tent up cuz it's their first time. So K says of course I should help with that. he shoves the bag of groceries at D and goes over and helps the girls. K says to them – how could girls do things like this. he shows them how to set it up. K looks over at D and grins like a cat among mice so D gets jealous and calls him over. KJ ah – what are you doing – let's go. the weather is good so that tent wont fly off. stop and just do enough and let's go. the girl thanks him so he says : cuz my sister called me so I will be going. my old sister nags so much. D: aigoo. the girl invites him over to play at night at their tent. K looks at D then says loudly: I will do that. he asks one girl how old she is.
As K comes over to her D shoves the bag back at him and reminds him those girls are a lot older than him. K: you are a noona too noona. she asks what he was talking to them about. He says they asked for his number.D: so did you give it to them? K: I told you I didnt have the confidence to turn someone down when they cling to me saying they like me. If you want to catch me that much then take the ring off
YJ's dad is sitting there so the aunt asks KJ's uncle why that customer has been sitting there for so long – is he waiting for someone. uncle says it's better than having an empty restaurant. he goes over to refill the coffee. she says it's already been 3 cups. the uncle comes over and asks if the dad wants a refill. YJ's dad asks: are you HS's older brother? he stands and introduces himself as KJ's dad. the uncle spills coffee on himself from shock.
the dad shows HS"s pic and says I cant give scars to the people around me so I wont go into details about myself so the uncle guesses he has a family. I already guessed. The dad offers to take care of KJ. The aunt says we take care of KJ's inheritance. The dad says you two keep doing that but I will just take KJ away.
YJ's parents fight. mom: is your choice that kid KJ? dad: as you wanted I wont show up in front of you or YJ ever again. pretty soon it will be KJ's bday and after it passes, I am leaving with him. She says that day is not KJ's bday but the day our YJ lived again. dad: every year when we honored that day -didnt you think of KJ even once? mom: I didnt.
K and D fight some more. he says you just want to think of me as someone who was around as SYJ and then was gone, but it makes me feel bad (ruin his mood) so dont remember anything about me. D: did I say anything bad? it was cuz you kept getting into my pics and ruining it. K: that's why delete those. you said it didnt come out like SYJ and came out like KKJ so it put you in a bad mood so delete them. she puts the camera down and says never mind. you clean up what you ate and I will go and meet the sunbae and come back. K: I am busy too but those noonas keep telling me to come over and play. D: you are going to go there? He says I will go meet those noonas and you can go meet that sunbae. D: those girls dont know you are underage-you dont know cuz something might happen- and you never know it might be dangerous – but you are going there? K: I am going cuz it's dangerous. why would I go if it's safe? She gets angry and says do whatever you want. She walks off. K: you threw me away when i was going somewhere dangerous so I dont know if an accident occurs. dont tell me to take responsibility.
D walks out saying when it's about girls he likes it too much. he picks up her camera. Since he ruined her pics by jumping in he will erase it then. He notices that she brought back the rock he threw away and smiles
D says when K is good to someone he is really good to them so what to do if those girls fall for that. cant leave it alone. She walks back to K
K is walking to meet D with a lantern cuz it's getting dark. he mutters about how she picked up that rock again after he threw it away. it will be dark soon so how did she plan to get back. she is so careless. They run into each other so she asks if he is on his way to go to those noonas. why? did those noonas need a lantern? He says their tent is over there on the other side. I was going to you. it's getting dark so how could you just take off. He gives her the lantern. take this with you. D: I am going cuz I have something to ask. I will be back quickly. K:then should I wait here. she asks you aren't going to those noonas tent. K: if you tell me to wait – I will wait. She smiles and tells him to wait – I will be back quickly. as she leaves, K teases: if you dont come quickly – a pretty ghost might take me away! if she is sexy I am going to follow her!
YJ's parents go to visit KJ. He thanks her for coming with him to see KJ. The mom says I only came on the condition that you wont tell YJ. He says this is the first time we are going together to see the kid
Suddenly KJ gets dizzy and passes out where he is sitting. YJ in the hospital has movement.
K comes to and sits up as D comes back. D: I came quickly didnt I? He can barely open his eyes and his breathing is shallow. she goes over and calls out his name. K: gil teacher. D: are you ok. Are you in a lot of pain. K: this time I don't know if I switched or dreamt in SYJ's place. I saw his parents. D: what does that mean? K: Maybe I dreamt it. why does it hurt so much. gil teacher. I think a ghost really came to get me. He rests his head on her shoulder.
YJ's dad looks at K's chart. The dad says since KJ keeps moving these days so he will wake up soon. mom says we can look at him comfortably now but when he wakes up wont it get more difficult.
In the tent, K wakes up and covers up D who is sleeping next to him. He watches the back of her head. K says aloud to her back: It's good that every time I wake up after being in pain you are always next to me. if we totally switch and I wake up on the other side, I will be alone again. It's ok cuz I was normally alone anyway. Here – even though it was a fake – I have a mother and father, mandoo restaurant in laws, and CS too. And also you. when I go back, no one will remember I was here. only SYJ will remain and KKJ will disappear – since you know me Gil teacher, even if I disappear, cant you remember that I was here? don't put everything in order. Don't just be glad to see YJ coming back and try to remember KJ who disappeared too.
He cries saying that. D cries quietly listening. And I am bawling all over the place
M yells "what? You left the two of them camping." CS says it seemed like they had a married couple fight so we put them together. it was an idea that came out of my head. She says empty out useless things in his head. CS: was your trip to america ok? your dad is well? She says I finished talking with dad so I have to hurry and go to America with KJ. CS: yes dont chase around that grandpa and brother in law and go to america. then he realizes what she said so he yells: what? you are going to america? M: yes. CS: Me too. Take me with you. she gets a text from YJ's dad. he says I am KJ's dad could we meet. She runs off. CS: take me with you
M shows the text to K and says your dad finally contacted me. go with me to meet him. K doesn't like that the dad hid his phone number cuz it came up as unlisted. K: what is he hiding so that the number doesnt show up. is he saying I am a kid that no one knows about. it puts me in a bad mood. M: since he doesnt know who you are, you can hide and see him. Since he called, K agrees to meet. M: now that we finally found your dad, Gil DR can comfortably put her heart in order about you. so K gets offended and says am I trash that needs to be put in order?
D tells her dad how she is moving to a school in the countryside. she says she will get assigned there anyway later so it's good to go in advance and get settled. so he worries that YJ has to live alone as soon as they got married so is he ok with it. D: I explained it to him well. She asks her dad -when you were 35 and my 19 yr old mother came to you to get married with her hair cut short -why did you accept her. dad: let's see why did I accept her. to get your mom away from me I went to an island. i tried so hard to get her away from me and go away from her but the more i did my heart crossed over that wide ocean. when I cried cuz she was someone I could never erase for the rest of my life and someone I couldnt forget, thankfully your mom showed up in front of my eyes. D: how did you know you couldnt erase her for the rest of your life -you only know that after the lifetime passes. dad: that's true but if you spend your whole life like that wont it be sad? in that moment if you have the courage and hold onto that person then you will live the rest of your life thinking I did well. D: how do you get that courage? dad: at that moment I threw my mental line (the come to your senses line) into the ocean and your mom caught it. she looks at her ring
M is at the hospital talking with K. M: I am in the hospital lobby where I am supposed to meet your dad. are you almost here. K says yes I am at the hospital. I will go there. S calls out his name and asks if he heard she met D not too long ago. K: you told her in the past there was nothing going on between us. S: yes but do the two of you have some kind of problem? I thought she would like it but she seemed shocked. I said it to be cool so that you two will work out well but she didnt seem to like it (the news) much. maybe I shouldnt have done that. K: she liked it so much she cried. you did well. S asks if he still drops by to see that patient KKJ. K:why? S: I am his doctor in charge of his care. cuz he is a pitiful kid so continue being good to him. S leaves. K mutters to himself wondering why he has to hear he is pitiful from S. just wait till he wakes up.
M gets a text from the dad that he arrived. I will be there soon. The dad walks over as K does too. M looks up to see YJs' dad. suddenly behind M, K collapses. The dad runs over and asks if he is ok. are you hurt anywhere. where does it hurt. M calls out KJ. Then she asks doctor seo are you ok. K says I am ok. I was just dizzy. M: are you really ok? K: I am ok. The dad says come with me to get you checked.we cant live this alone.
K asks the dad- did you come to see me? The dad says yes and the director of the hospital is my friend too. K asks if he came with the mom to a patient's room not too long ago. dad: what are you talking about? K: cuz I think I saw the two of you. the dad says that never happened. you dont look well so let's get you checked out. K says I know I am not well but it's not to the extent that I need to get checked out at the hospital. the dad asks if what happened earlier happens often. K: more and more. The dad says if your mom knows she will worry a lot. you dont remember but when you were younger you were really sick. so if you don't feel good even a little bit let's get it checked in advance. K says ok I will but don't tell mother-it will be bothersome. the dad takes his hand and agrees
YJ's dad asks another doctor to run some tests for YJ's condition and quietly let the dad know only so rumors dont spread around the hospital
M asks K if he got dragged away to be tested for everything. K: when this person was young, he was really sick. in case he got sick again, they tested a lot. M asks if it hurts a lot whenever he switches back and forth. K: it hurts so much it's annoying. M: still SYJ's dad worries about his son a lot. She wonders why his dad didn't show up. K: from today on I am giving up on my dad (he wont look anymore for his dad). just tell gil teacher my dad came back then she will give up too. M slowly gets up and heads up to her room saying I wanted to find your dad but I guess I am the only one by your side. He says how she put all her stuff in that room so I am going to put that in order. she says I will put it in order cuz you have to go back with me to america
She goes upstairs and says I thought that ajussi was KJ's dad but he was YJ's dad. she decides to cheer K up by preparing for his bday
K: if he is a father, shouldnt he come to hold his son's hand when he is sick. K remembers how warm YJ's dad was and thinks it must be the charm of the Seo family to have warm hands
D is sorting through her stuff and Kim says how D is leaving work late these days. D: I had some work. Kim guesses she fought with her husband. D looks at the calendar and realizes it's K's bday soon
M goes to the hospital to congratulate K on his bday and he is standing there looking out the window. he looks at her and smiles. she walks over and asks if he woke up. he keeps looking out the window at the light so she wonders what he is looking at. She turns to face him but he is gone –he just disappeared. She calls out his name.
she dreamt it so she called out K's name. K comes in and asks why she yelled. She says you were gone. K: why would I be gone? M: I am ok with things the way there are now. And I am ok if you come back again but you cant disappear. He pats her head. you just had a strange dream-that wont happen.
K stares at his miracle photo. D comes in with stuff. He asks what that is. She says grocery stuff I need. She walks off for a bit. He thinks she knows it's his bday. She gets a call from that sunbae. he pretends to be asking her for permission by having a conversation alone. you got a call should I answer for you? he picks it up for her. the man says isnt this DR's phone? ah are you her younger brother. K: I am the man who lives with her. just tell me simply what you want to say. the guy says: there is a position DR wanted me to look into. there is one that is close to the school so please tell her to call if she is going to move quickly. K: ok. When D comes back he says she got a call so call back. D asks about meeting his dad today. I heard from M. K: yes. D: what kind of person is he. He says don't pay attention to it. if you know and get involved you will just have more to put in order. he mentions the family gathering he has to go to with YJ's parents tm so what are you going to do. She says I wont go if I don't need to. K: ok. D: It's your bday tm so wanna have dinner together. is there anything you want for a bday present cuz I didn't do that anything for you so I want to do something. He says it's ok. if i disappear from here it will just be thrown out anyway. it's just making more trash to take out. he goes and comes back. K: I am really curious so I am asking.What did I do that was so wrong – what did I do that was so hard on you for you to run away. is it cuz I said stuff like I would take you away? is that it? I said I wouldn't if you kept your ring on. D: I just needed an ocean that couldnt be crossed. K: ocean? are you going to some island? then just go.I hate riding boats so we will never meet. you better not come off that island.
M and nurses sing happy bday to KJ and calls him prince. M tells him to hurry and come back so we can live together
D made him seaweed soup and breakfast and wrote him a note. It said happy bday- let's have dinner together. I will give you a present. K says I wont go.
D buys a watch and the woman says if it's for a gift they can engrave 3 initials and asks D to write it down. S walks by with her friend and explains D is her friend's wife. S hears D asking if it will take long to engrave cuz I have to give it today. they talk about how it's a bday present for her boyfriend. S sees that's a watch and the initials are not SYJ.
at a cafe D looks at the watch then takes off her ring. she says I dont have the courage to throw the mental line into the ocean. she puts the ring into a glass and says I wont get caught for this at least. S's friend says your friend's wife took off her ring so is she having an affair. S cant believe it
M hears from the uncle that KJ's dad came here and will take KJ away. M: to where? The uncle says there is no need to know too much cuz the dad's side has a situation. it's a good thing for KJ that the dad showed up and said I would take care of him. M mutters he cant take him away right now just cuz he wants
YJ's dad gets the test results. the disease that YJ had when he was young came back so they need to find a matching donor to donate. did you by any chance know who it was? YJ's dad: I know
the dad goes to see KJ lying in his hospital room
S meets with K. K: what is it that you wanted to say. she says how she saw D buy a man's bday present at the department store and the 3 initials weren't SYJ and D said it was for her boyfriend – while waiting for him she took off her wedding ring. I saw with my friend and she thinks D is having an affair. while D was waiting she looked happy but when she went back cuz she didnt get to see him, she looked really unsure. K: she did?S: according to your mom D said she would let go of you if you came back like you used to. K: let go of SYJ? S: she said D said she was having a really hard time. She likes someone else so she was having a hard time. K: she did? S: I didnt see that person's face but I know the initials – want to know? KKJ. He smiles so she asks why are you smiling. Do you think I am lying now. K: no. you really aren't lying right? S: it's for real. K: You really are sure right? S: I am sure. K leaves smiling and saying you are dead
D is waiting for K and looks at his watch. she looks at the ring she took off. D: tie your mental line and go in. she is about to put it back on but K calls out to her. he calls her Gil DR instead of teacher.K: Gil DR – did you fall for another guy (meaning are you cheating with another guy). D:what? K: Were you having such a hard time cuz of that man? was that man's intial KKJ? is it correct- is it Kang KJ? He steps closer so she holds up her hands ready to put the ring back on and says don't come. But he intertwines her fingers with his just as she starts to slip the ring back on. K: The cheating has already been done (in korean it's "the wind already blew"). The boat that couldn't cross the ocean already crossed the ocean. What are you going to do now. He leans in and she looks up at him. She lets the ring fall to the ground as she kisses him. He holds her face and they keep kissing.
No preview
the best part of ending here is they will pick up with this kiss with a longer version on E13. You can sort of feel that kiss all the way till next Mon huh?
The way I see it, KJ deserves better parents than YJ's parents. the poor kid went through his whole life not knowing the truth about his birth. I doubt he will resent his mother since she did her best to raise him well and he was happy until the moment of her death. she has every right to call him her son, but YJ's parents dont. their genes may have made him but that's where it stopped. the mother is just beyond cold and heartless, but that weakling of a father isnt much better. back then when KJ was born, he had a choice. he could have stayed with KJ's mom and KJ and been a happy family. his mom wouldnt have died cuz she wouldnt have been living like that. instead the dad chose to stay in a loveless marriage where the two spouses do not even live together. that's just like making YJ grow up in a divorced family. the dad had a choice to make one son happy and he chose poorly. after all these years -now he looks for his son only cuz he heard KJ's mom died. so does that mean if she didnt die, he would have never looked for KJ. the dad is making the right choice just a little too late in my book. I really hope the Hong sisters have something less tragic planned for us in the last four episodes. cuz all I know is I need KJ and DR to be together in the end and YJ to live. I want him to survive again so he can make it up to KJ cuz YJ is the only one who can. if KJ is ever going to have a shot at having a decent family, YJ is his only hope. at least KJ deserves to have a brother around who will always be there for him. so I say just leave two people in KJ's life – DR and YJ. and maybe adopt M too cuz she is pretty harmless.
Fanderay's comment:
The best part of that kiss was that K waited for her, and D went for it. There can be no more denial, and she can't claim that she was confused or that he took her by surprise. They kissed each other knowing full well what it meant, and her ring falling to the ground was the perfect reflection of that.
I didn't even feel impatient to get to the kiss throughout the episode because there was so much else to appreciate. I think I'll be in a good mood all week after watching them take photos together and play in the sprinkler, but what I loved the most were the quieter moments, like D looking at rocks, and K talking to her back.
Before K even started talking to her back I thought it was sweet that she was so comfortable sleeping next to him. These two trust each other completely, and that's something that D could never say about her relationship with Y. He kept secrets from her and she never acted like herself around him, but K and D have always been open (I don't count their pathetic attempts at hiding their feelings). It's easy to think that talking to someone while wrongly assuming they can't hear you is a cheap plot-device, but I choose to see it differently. I don't think it's a coincidence at all that D heard what he said. She was pretending to be asleep for a reason (she was scared and wanted to see what he would do) and more importantly, he talked out loud to her for a reason. He knew there was a small chance she would hear, and I think a part of him wanted her to, but it wasn't something he could ever say to her face and telling himself she was asleep was the only way he could get the words out.
I think that K will learn about his family before he switches bodies, and I hope that he lets D be there for him, instead of pushing her away. It's going to be rough sorting out his feelings, but I think he could eventually develop a good relationship with his father. I even have high hopes that his mom will come around. She seems like a nasty person in so many ways, but I think that she's overwhelmed with guilty for abandoning a kid that she brought into the world for selfish reasons, and denying that he belongs to her is easier than admitting how much she's wronged him. When she cried in the hospital and told him that she didn't even come see him as a baby, it seemed like a glimpse of how she truly feels, and I bet that she'll eventually break down and not be able to fight her motherly instincts anymore. It's sort of funny that D is stuck with the same in-laws no matter who she picks, but lets hope that their personalities at least warm up a little.
I appreciate that even though there are two female second leads, they never truly compete and instead are simply there to add to the story. M has genuinely been helpful to K, and even though she doesn't want D to have him, I get the impression that she will eventually let him go without any major conflict. She tries to win him over, but never tries to take D down, and that wins her major points in my book. Even S seems to have Y's best interests in mind, and I've always liked that her and D meet to maturely discuss the situation as adults. The only real love triangle involves K and Y, but even that's unique since Y isn't actually present, and so much of the romantic development is based on internalized emotional growth, instead of dramatic plot twists or competitive tactics. I'm not dying for Y to wake up, but I am extremely curious to see what he does once he gets his bearings. He seems like the level-headed and broody type, but who knows after such an ordeal. Will he fight for D? Will he be angry? Relieved to have saved his brother? Part of me hopes that back on the day of the accident Y was going to tell D that he didn't love her, but that he cared for her and was always loyal to her. If he does love her, the situation is going to be a whole lot messier.
With four episodes left, it seems like there's time for some bliss and happiness between K and D before everything takes a turn for the worse, but even if that's just wishful thinking on my part I would be content if they just took on their problems together. Only four episodes left…isn't that sad?

From this CDs booklet notes:
Listening to the first six volumes of Document's seven volume set of Sykes' pre-war recordings it is easy to recognize the basis of this longevity; quite simply put he was bloody good! His piano style was 'two-handed', virile and variable. He could pound with best of 'em, roll out the forty fours and then supply an accompaniment both delicate and apt enough to enhance (sometimes salvage) any vocal performance. His own vocals lacked the introverted, autobiographical overtones of Carr and his approach to a lyric tended to be much more objective. Nevertheless he had a warm, easily understood voice and knew when to holler and when to reason. It sometimes seems that all the worthwhile blues lyrics that seemed so new in the fifties and sixties, from Jimmy Cotton's "Cotton Crop Blues" to Ray Charles' "Night Time Is The Right Time", had already spent some time in Sykes' mouth, usually competing for space with a huge cigar!

EXETER — Exeter Hospital is no longer in danger of losing its Medicare and Medicaid funding after problems were discovered following a hepatitis C outbreak last spring.
Documents released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Friday confirm the hospital is meeting all conditions of participation in the programs.
In October, the government had said it planned to terminate the funding on Dec. 28 if the problems weren't fixed.
The CMS had pointed out hospital deficiencies as early as July, such as improving policies on controlling infections and administering drugs.
The inspection was triggered by the case of David Kwiatkowski, a former cardiac catheterization lab worker accused of stealing drugs from the hospital and replacing them with tainted syringes that were later used on patients.
The hospital said the CMS made its determination after a follow-up survey on Monday and Tuesday. A three-person team focused on standards that apply to the hospital's governing body, infection control, medication security, quality assurance, facilities and security.
''I wish to express my deepest gratitude to all of our dedicated staff who serve our organization with integrity and professionalism while delivery extraordinary care to our patients every day,'' hospital CEO Kevin Callahan said in a statement.
The CMS report in July said nurses at the cardiac lab left syringes unattended after removing medication from machines. The hospital has since implemented a policy that requires filled syringes to be placed in a locked drawer until needed.
During another visit in September, inspectors determined Exeter Hospital's review of the incidents leading to the hepatitis C outbreak wasn't sufficiently broad. This violated a CMS standard that ensures the rights of patients to receive care in a safe setting.
The inspectors found that the review being undertaken by the hospital "did not contain the necessary scope to address all causal factors" contributing to the outbreak, according to a corrective action plan submitted by the hospital to CMS on Nov. 14.
Foster's Daily Democrat obtained a copy of the plan through a request made under the federal Freedom of Information Act.
"Although the analysis looked at infection control and medication security, it did so with a very narrow focus," the inspectors wrote. "Based on the findings, a much wider scope for both was necessary to establish a true root cause, providing the ability to analyze and evaluate the quality of their existing programs pertaining to infection control and medication security. This would allow the hospital to identify other potential areas for performance improvement."
In response, the hospital outlined its numerous efforts to learn from the hepatitis C outbreak, beginning soon after it came to light earlier this year.
An interdisciplinary team was convened during the initial phase of the outbreak, according to the hospital's corrective plan, and for two weeks, the hospital collaborated with state epidemiologists to find a common source linking the first three cases.
The hospital determined it would need to conduct a separate investigation, and it began consulting with experts: epidemiologists, virologists, drug diversion experts, infection control experts and two acute care facilities that had experienced similar outbreaks, according to the report.
Exeter Hospital launched a so-called "Root Cause Analysis," looking at factors that allowed for the virus to be spread to patients, ranging from human elements to the equipment and the environment in the hospital.
"Risk-reduction strategies" were then implemented, such as tighter controls on medications in certain areas of the hospital. The hospital is also educating staff and new hires about drug diversion, and forming a team to study the potential for employees to steal drugs.
During a tour of Exeter Hospital's cardiac catheterization procedure room on Sept. 17, inspectors noted that medications were being stored in an unlocked refrigerator, according to the hospital's corrective plan.
The hospital has since taken an inventory of all areas where drugs are stored, including off-site locations and ambulances, to "assure medication security," according to the hospital's corrective plan.
Medication refrigerators in the catheterization laboratory are now locked, and keys are stored in a secured drawer in a medication dispenser, according to the document. Medication storage areas are also being checked weekly.
Kwiatkowski, whom prosecutors describe as a ''serial infector,'' was recently indicted on multiple charges of tampering with a consumer product and illegally obtaining drugs. He pleaded not guilty in federal court on Monday.
Until May, Kwiatkowski worked at Exeter Hospital, where 32 patients were diagnosed with the same strain of hepatitis C he carries. Before that, he worked as a traveling technologist in 18 hospitals in seven states, moving from job to job despite having been fired twice over allegations of drug use and theft.
Thousands of patients in Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania have since been tested for hepatitis C, a blood-borne viral infection that can cause liver disease and chronic health issues. In addition to the New Hampshire patients, a handful of patients in Kansas and one in Maryland have been found to carry the strain Kwiatkowski carries.
In addition to changing infection control procedures at Exeter Hospital, the outbreak has also prompted the facility to increase scrutiny during the hiring process. The hospital is now using "primary source verification" when it checks the references of traveling employees, according to the hospital's corrective plan.
Foster's Daily Democrat staff writer Jim Haddadin and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Skip to comments.Reports: Syrian air base destroyed in missile attack from sea
Posted on 10/31/2013 1:00:43 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather
Unclear who is behind the attack on base located in stronghold of Assad's Alawites, but Syrian, Lebanese media accuse Israel; Channel 2 reports attack's target were S-125 surface-to-air missiles.
(Excerpt) Read more at jpost.com ...
White House somehow arranged this.......have to get attention off of Obamacare.
How do two missles destroy and entire base.
A flight path to Iran being cleared?
That kind of trick usually works great. Not this time however. Americans don't have to be paying attentiuon to the news to be outraged by obama's fraud this time. They're getting news of it in thei mail boxes when their health insurance gets cancelled. and they're going to reminded of it every time they have to write a premium check that's double what it was last year.
Israeli warplanes strike shipment of Russian missiles at Syrian port: officials
Secondary explosions from missiles with 70 kilo warheads and a ton or so of fuel.
Perhaps they angered Poseidon?
I hope the Russians were smart enough to get cash before shipping.
I wonder if Netanyahu could pass as a NBC. I sure would like to see a "man" (with balls) be President when we unload this thing we have now.
If Obama was involved, and he very could have been, it was to satiate his "masters" in the Saudi "Kingdom"
Gonna find out
who's naughty or nice...
Fuel should not have been in or near rockets unless they were being readied for launch. Also not good idea to store all missles close to each other so maybe they just arrived, and the fuel was also offlaoded from the same ship. Agin not good logistics.
Just one of those random missiles that come out of the clear blue sky. Another of life's mysteries. Maybe it's aliens going it. They should look into that.
Surface to air missiles are solid fuel rocket motors. They are cast during production. Just like the SRB's on the space shuttle. The biggie is the 70 kilo warhead. A few hundred 70 kilo warheads will make a most satisfactory display. Add tons of burning/exploding rocket motors and toss them around with explosions and it's bye bye air base.
Unclear who is behind the attack on base located in stronghold of Assad's Alawites, but Syrian, Lebanese media accuse Israel; Channel 2 reports attack's target were S-125 surface-to-air missiles.

Ashland, OR (July 12, 2013) – SAG-AFTRA today announced it has reached an agreement with audiobook producer BeeAudio. The BeeAudio deal is the latest in a series of efforts by SAG-AFTRA to enhance its organizing reach in the area of audiobooks.
In November of 2012, SAG-AFTRA issued "Do Not Work Notice" against the Ashland, Oregon based company that was producing books for various major publishers paying half or less than half the industry standard rate to narrators.
Under this new contract, audiobook narrators will be paid industry-standard rates ranging from $150 to $240 per completed hour of work. This deal affects the more than 200 audiobook professionals currently on BeeAudio's roster.
"We are thrilled to have an agreement with BeeAudio," said Jane Love, SAG-AFTRA Audiobook negotiator. "It makes sense for the company, the narrators, and the industry and we look forward to working with everyone at BeeAudio going forward."
"The relationship between BeeAudio and SAG-AFTRA began with a series of misunderstandings which have been amicably resolved," said James Adams, Founder and CEO of BeeAudio. "We are in the middle of a publishing revolution and that clearly involves audiobooks. It's vital that innovative entrepreneurial companies like BeeAudio and unions like SAG-AFTRA work together to steer a steady course for the benefit of the consumer, business and union members."
The agreement with BeeAudio marks the 27th audiobook producer organized since 2008.

The Teacher of English: Pedagogic Relevance in Saudi Arabia
The present paper attempts to explore the characteristics of an effective teacher of English. Some related factors such as qualification, attributes, roles, and professional ethics have also been dealt with. In Saudi Arabia, the teacher of English plays the most important role in the process of teaching/learning. There are so many factors such as L1 interference, parental attitude, home environment, schooling etc that are usually influential in the case of educational setting in general and English classes in particular. It is believed that if the teacher of English has undergone a pre-service teacher training it is better for the learners of Saudi Arabia. In the other case, those who have not attended pre-service teacher training, they should go for in-service professional development programs in order to equip them further for innovative teaching and educational output.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Anna Teruya's blast from the top of the circle found the back of the net with just 7:41 remaining to break a one-all tie and lead MIT to a thrilling victory over UMass-Dartmouth in non-conference field hockey action Saturday afternoon at Jack Barry Field. With the win the Engineers improve to 3-0, the program's best start since 1997. The Corsairs fall to 0-1 on the year.
UMass struck first, as Becca Festinger fed Stephanie Kinchla just 3:30 into the game to give the visitors the early advantage. The Corsairs would also threaten midway through the period, forcing MIT goalkeeper Keri Dixon to make a pair of saves in a span of 30 seconds.
The Cardinal and Grey had little success generating offense for most of the period, managing just one shot in the game's first 25 minutes. That quickly changed as freshman Kimberly Barker was able to break through with the equalizer with 9:19 to go in the half, sending the teams to the locker room knotted at one.
After being outshot, 5-2, in the first stanza, the momentum shifted to the Engineers' side in the second, as they had a number of chances at the go-ahead goal, the best of which came with 14:45 to go. Molly McShane had her shot saved by Seana Golden and a tip by Katie Kauffman deflected just wide of the net. The teams appeared to be headed to overtime until Tech earned a penalty corner chance with 8:05 showing on the clock. Kameron Klauber entered the ball to Teruya, who fired the ball past Golden for the game-winner.
Tech held a 10-8 advantage in shots for the game. Dixon earned her third straight win in net, making two saves, while Golden had four saves in the losing effort.
MIT continues its homestand Tuesday, September 8, hosting Lasell at 4:00 p.m. The Corsairs will return home to face another New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) opponent, Clark, at 7:00 p.m.

The mom and two kids exit the minivan and hurry to the clinic. There's no leashed dog or pet carrier. Just an improvised box, brimming with grass.
They are dressed like they stopped what they were doing and came straight in. They are good Samaritans, bearing a baby bird or mammal, and they are a frequent springtime visitor.
It's a baby barred owl. Grey and puffy, like a frosted astronaut, standing about 10 inches high with eyes like liquid onyx. We asked where they found it. "Along a bike trail behind our home."
Was he alone, we asked.
"I don't know." She replied "We just quickly got a box and brought him."
Owl babies leave the nest at about 4 weeks of age, and they are reared on tree branches from then on. If they fall from a branch, they will often make their way back up. If not, they can be placed on a suitable limb.
It is a myth that their parents will reject them if they have been touched. Birds have a poor sense of smell.
Fortunately, this baby was returned to the place he was found, where another two were seen in a tree nearby, and his worried parents immediately resumed caring for him.
Many baby animals may appear to be orphaned when, in fact, they are not. Many fledgling birds are just days away from flight and their parents are aware of them.
They can be simply placed back in a tree or bush. Younger birds may be replaced in the nest, or placed in a makeshift nest, such as a strawberry basket. (Be sure its porous so they don't drown.)
Baby deer are often brought in under the mistaken belief that, because they were alone, they were orphaned. In reality, deer do not sit with their young. They don't want to draw attention to them, so the babies hide in the grass and the mother periodically returns to feed them. They should be observed for 24-36 hours before being deemed orphans.
Its like when you watch a nature film and wonder how the cameraman could not stop and scare the lions away from the baby elephant. The natural impulse is to intervene, but this is not always necessary or advisable.
The first thing to do is take a step back and determine if the animal is in immediate danger from predators, a swarm of flies, fire ants, etc. If so, then one should get them out of harms way, but not necessarily remove them from the area.
Once they are in a relatively safe place, they can be monitored for 12-24 hours. Next, determine whether they appear healthy, or debilitated from disease, cold or starvation. If they are compromised, cannot be made safe in the immediate area, or if there is no sign of parental support, they may be removed for foster care.
There are too many situations to cover here, so make use of the Internet, your veterinarian or veterinary emergency clinic, or local wildlife rehabilitators for information about how to proceed safely for you and the animal.
At this time of year in particular, rehabilitators are overloaded with work and expense. Many of their orphans could have remained with their parents, and the survival rates for these reintroduced, hand-raised animals remains unclear.
Keeper of the Wild is a local wildlife rescue organization, run by the Mother Theresa of Lowcountry wildlife, Janet Kinzer.
They have been a resource to our clinics for many years, providing care to thousands of animals every year. The economic downturn and an increasing number of animals needing care has strained them to the breaking point.
Recently, I got the heartbreaking news that they could no longer take orphaned animals. It hit me just how much we rely on them to care for the orphaned and injured animals that we take in.
It will be a serious emotional strain on our staff not to have a resource to turn to,when these animals need help. This is a huge loss to our community.
There are a few things that we all should do.
No. 1. Don't create orphans. Its spring, that tree could be cut down later in the summer after the baby birds have left.
Kinzer recently came to my office with two baby otters. Their mother had made a nest under someone's shed near Folly Beach. So, they had her removed and created two orphans for Janet. They had a child. Wouldn't it have been a nice lesson if they explained to their child that for a month or so they would keep the dog out of the yard so that the otters could raise their young? After all, they chose to live on the marsh where the otters have lived for millennia.
No. 2. Before intervening, quickly educate yourself on how best to handle your wildlife situation. Call your vet, emergency clinic or a rescue organization. Janet, can be reached through her website, Keeperofthewild.org. She or any rehabilitator would rather spend a few minutes advising, than many hours and dollars providing unnecessary care.
No. 3. Give. We give generously to the SPCA, Pet helpers and assorted rescue organizations. But the wildlife groups are often the overlooked stepchild.
Whether an animal is wild, it can still suffer, feel pain, know fear and respond to love and care. They all deserve care if we can give it, and so many wild animals are made orphans by our actions.
Please support your local wildlife rehabilitators, as you do for the domestic animal care givers. The SPCA and similar groups are there to prevent suffering in animals that have no patron. Organizations such as Janet's are no different.
Go to Keeperofthewild.org to donate or send to Keeper of the Wild, 181 Treefarm Road, St. George, SC 29477.
Dr. Henri Bianucci and Dr. Perry Jameson are with Veterinary Specialty Care LLC. Send questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.

I read with great interest the article about Pennsylvania state Sen. Daylin Leach's proposal to legalize the drug marijuana for medical purposes. While I am sure once legal, many will abuse it and a number may find its use a stepping stone to harder narcotics, I feel the measure is in the best interests of all. The plain truth is that the criminalization of this sustenance does society more harm then good. While attempting to help the public avoid the detrimental effects of a clearly harmful narcotic, government has repeated the mistake of Prohibition in creating and supporting a vast criminal network of violent organizations and drug related crime.
While I vehemently oppose the use of so-called casual drugs, I strongly support Mr. Leach's common-sense approach to this serious subject.
King of Prussia
Editor's Note: Sen. Leach's bill would legalize marijuana in Pennsylvania for both medical and recreational use.

Is Europe losing the energy battle? As the US goes full steam ahead with shale gas exploration, European leaders are wondering if their environmental concerns are becoming an obstacle to growth. Also this week, despite the promulgation of the gay marriage bill, the issue continues to send shockwaves across the political spectrum. Especially on the right, where the UMP party, after embracing the opposition to the bill, is now unsure how to deal with it.

Wall Street is pointing lower before a shortened Christmas Eve trading session as investors continue to fret about whether U.S. lawmakers and President Obama will solve their budget dispute, the so-called fiscal cliff.

Significant improvement means they need to be in the playoff hunt. Plain and simple. I'm not saying they have to win it all...but they better be minimally knocking on the door of the postseason.
What's unusual about them has been that none of the players have completely washed out already. In the past, we've had multiple guys drafted in rounds 4-10 out of baseball in just over a year, and multiple pitchers with immediate shoulder problems.
but if you have a look at the 2006 draft, you see that almost everyone's done something positive and that this has created a lot of trade value within the organization. That's a solid effort. Importantly: THERE HAVE BEEN NO SHOULDER SURGERIES! I repeat-- there have been no shoulder surgeries. Most of those pitchers have reached A and are really looking solid; some are all the way up to Chattanooga. That's terrific.
He gave a lot of money to Ravin and to Arneson, and they have control issues. It happens; maybe they'll figure it out. He reached a bit on Stubbs, but a defensive, powerful RHHing CFer that can lead off was a clear need in the organization and remains one. Have a thought if Stubbs DOES become a more powerful Mike Cameron-- that's a huge help, correct? You could actually keep Adam Dunn in LF if Stubbs becomes a player. right idea. Player needs to come through. He's clearly developing better than Szymanski, so there's hope.
in 2007, Mesoraco and Cozart might turn out to be defensive reaches, but you understand them-- defense is really bad up in Cincy. No. 4 Stouffer did not sign. No. 5 Bowman got beat up pretty badly in his first go-round. But my initial reaction is that this draft will turn out to look quite a bit like 2006's
I voted "No".
When evaluating a General Manager the proof is in the pudding. The pudding says the Reds have had miserable records the past two seasons.
We can compare and contrast every transaction, draft pick, trade and signing but our opinions mean less than the team's record on the field. The team has performed poorly -- so it will be hard to convince me the GM has done a good job so far.
We can name lots of seemingly very good moves Krivsky has made, but since the team has a losing record under his tenure those good moves must have been cancelled out by the poor moves.
Most of the team's hopes and strengths lie with players acquired before Krivsky arrived. Harang, Dunn, Griffey, Encarnacion, Bailey, Votto, Cueto, and Bruce represent the bulk of this team's foundation for 2008 and beyond and all of those players were here pre-Krivsky. Wayne has brought in Arroyo, Phillips, Cordero and a bunch of spare parts. These additions were not nearly enough to turn a bad team into a good one -- and that is why the team has continued to play badly.
I don't think Krivsky has proven to be a bad GM either. I just don't see any reason to extend his contract at this time. That is why I voted No.
This is the third year. If they do not show a nice chunk of improvement then he should be given the boot. He has chosen not to rebuild, so minimally we should be seeing improvement on the major league level by now.
Because stability is always found in changing regimes every 3 years right?If they do not show a nice chunk of improvement then he should be given the boot.
keep an eye on the farm, keep an eye on the pitching. Important predictors.
both MacPhail and Beane had two bad seasons to start their tenures. each had more success in year 3.
Brooklyn stuck with Branch Rickey in spite of three straight years of decliine, getting terrible in year three. finally won a pennant in year five (first year of Jackie Robinson)
After this season, Wayne will have had 3 years and what seems like trillions of dollars in Cincinnati currency at his disposal to improve this team. Seriously, in the past few years he has spent good chunks of change on Harang, Arroyo, Cordero, Gonzalez, Dunn and other smaller sized amounts on guys like Stanton. Has any Cincy GM in recent times been able to spend like this? And where is it getting them?
At what point do you say "You know Wayne, maybe you work best as an Asst GM?"
I knew that DanO was wrong within a month. Krivsky's a huge improvement over previous 8 years. Should see if he develops a pitcher, which would make him the first in 20 years.
if Stubbs hits, it would also break a 15-year-old Pat Watkins jinx. These are important milestones.

I don't know...5 years could go by and we could be having the same conversation. Improvement. Progress. Let's just see some of that. If the ML team isn't showing it and the farm isn't producing top guys, then what does Wayne have to show as proof of his work? "Depth" in the farm, which could partially be due to the fact that he had a serious amount of high picks last season? Improvement on paper, like saying "At least they have a closer now, that's due to WK"?
I don't know how much more time he needs. If people start refuting that progress needs to be made in '08, then I'm not sure what anyone expects.
