WASHINGTON — Whenever I want to be called a detestable, insidious proselytizer of political correctness, I just bring up the idea of changing the name of the Redskins at a family dinner. What if our football team's name weren't a slur, I ask brightly. Wouldn't that be nice?
My family may disdain the ineffectively megalomaniacal Daniel Snyder — I gave my sister a "Fire Snyder" T-shirt to wear at games — but they leap to the defense of the Redskins owner at the mere suggestion that he should consider the pleas of American Indians, 10 members of Congress, the president, several sports columnists, prominent publications, little sisters or anyone else who finds the team name offensive.
"Political correctness is like a creeping skin rash in a horror movie," says my brother Kevin, who has been going to Redskins games since he could heckle. "If you don't stop it at the beginning, it just keeps spreading. If the Indians were not asking for this, the liberal elites would do it for them. Even seemingly innocuous nicknames such as Warriors, Braves and Indians may not survive the outcry. The once proud Stanford Indian was replaced by a tree."
My sister argues that the Redskins should not have to change as long as the Atlanta Braves have their Tomahawk Chop and the Cleveland Indians have their logo, Chief Wahoo, a crimson-faced Indian with a big cheesy grin.
"Their logo is a disgrace," she says. "At least our logo is a profile of a strong warrior and not someone who looks drunk."
In the middle of budget Armageddon here, President Obama found a moment to address the notoriety about the Washington team name when he was asked about it by The A.P. "Obviously, people get pretty attached to team names, mascots," said the president, who recently experienced a racist rodeo clown incident. But, he added: "I've got to say that if I were the owner of the team and I knew that there was a name of my team, even if it had a storied history, that was offending a sizable group of people, I'd think about changing it."
The N.F.L. commissioner, Roger Goodell, is feeling the heat. He understands Washington a lot better than the stubborn Snyder. Goodell has enough problems with the league being stigmatized for allegedly cloaking the dangers of concussions. (Even Obama has said that, if he had a son, he would think long and hard before letting him play football.)
Goodell doesn't want Congress pressing safety issues with the N.F.L. and he doesn't want to alienate people with bigotry. So why not appease critics on a name? When Snyder vowed last May never to change it, Goodell backed him up, calling the name a "unifying force that stands for strength, courage, pride and respect." But as the tempest whirled, Goodell has jumped off Dan's bus.
At the end of the N.F.L. fall meeting here on Tuesday, Goodell told reporters that he grew up in Washington rooting for the Redskins and never considered the name "derogatory." But, he added, "we need to listen, carefully listen, and make sure we're doing what's right."
The Oneida Indian Nation grabbed the chance to hold a "Change the Mascot" symposium Monday at a Georgetown hotel. Ray Halbritter, a nation representative, called the Redskins name a "racial slur" and D.C. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton said it was no more a term of endearment than "darkies."
Suzan Shown Harjo, a citizen of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes who lives here, told The Times's Ken Belson that deracinating the name was "king of the mountain because it's associated with the nation's capital, so what happens here affects the rest of the country."
Some big-name sports columnists have sworn off using the name. "It offends too many people," Peter King wrote for Sports Illustrated. Christine Brennan of USA Today agreed: "Try explaining and defending the nickname to a child. It's impossible."
Names are deeply embedded in fans' childhood history with teams and championship seasons. There was a recent kerfuffle in The Washington Post, with some fans wanting to return to the name of the local basketball team that was changed on the grounds it was offensive.
Asked whether he would ever switch the Washington Wizards back to the Bullets, team owner Ted Leonsis was noncommital. The late Abe Pollin, the previous team owner, decided to drop the name Bullets in 1995 as a message against gun violence, saying it was in honor of his friend Yitzhak Rabin, assassinated with a pistol.
"My father was righteous, maybe even self-righteous," my friend Bob Pollin, Abe's son who is an economics professor, told me. "He had a moral motive for doing this. Now some find the name Wizards wimpy. They think Bullets is cooler, as in Navy SEALs shoot bullets. But I take great pride in my father having done it."
Snyder should change the Redskins name, he said, as "an act of courage and a civic contribution."
All you have to do is watch a Western. The term "redskin" is never a compliment.

Comey eager for Trump to release those tapes: 'There's nothing he's worried about'
Ousted FBI director James Comey is "not worried" about Donald Trump's veiled threat about "tapes" of their conversations, CNN reports.
Trump tweeted the message to the former FBI director on Friday, writing Comey "better hope the there are no 'tapes' of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!"
James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 12, 2017
According to a source familiar with the matter, Trump's threat did not shake Comey, noting even "if there is a tape, there's nothing he is worried about."
In fact, NBC's Ken Dilanian reports, Comey would even welcome such evidence.
A source close to Comey told me this morning: "He hopes there are tapes. That would be perfect."
— Ken Dilanian (@KenDilanianNBC) May 12, 2017
The source also contradicted Trump's claims that Comey requested a dinner with the president, saying, "it is absolutely untrue that Jim asked to have dinner or that he asked to have his job."
"That is a complete fabrication," the source said.
Thursday, the New York Times reported during that dinner, Trump demanded Comey's loyalty, a pledge the FBI director was unwilling to make.

Happy Valentine's Day, lovers everywhere! Valentine's Day is almost upon us and "love" is the perfect theme for February. Not only because of Valentine's Day but because what the world needs now is love, sweet love, no?
I sort of got carried away with this theme. I kept creating and each creation meant of few cast off things that didn't work for that project, so I had to start another to use all my ideas up. I'll be posting some of my other pieces on Facebook over the next few days.
The old photo of this couple is such fun. It spoke to me of young love and the beginnings of a life together. So I kind of invented a story for them and told it on this art journal page.
My other inspiration for this page was this lyric from Eric Clapton. Let it Grow is a really catchy, soulful, George Harrison-y song, easy and relaxed.
I did want to experiment a bit with the idea of spreading out embossing paste with my finger for a thin layer on a background. This is Wendy Vecchi's Embossing Paste tinted with DecoArt Payne's Grey Media paint. I like the effect and that it felt good to work with my hands and not just use tools to apply medium. Dampen your fingers a little or the paste will stick to them.
Thinlets Greenery Dies worked beautifully here. I could cut a lot of them in one pass and got the wild, overgrown, "let it grow" effect I wanted.
This is the train ticket this couple took on their honeymoon. Creative Impressions triangle clip and metal tag make the embellishment. I hammered the names into the metal tag, rubbed black paint into the recessed letters and then wiped away the excess paint. I then dabbed on a just bit of Espresso Distress paint with my finger.
Who's getting a valentine from you?? We've got so many new friends on Creative Carte Blanche. Take some pics of your work and share them with us! Just use the InLinkz button on the Creative Carte Blanche page, located just below art for the current theme.

It follows the party's decision to reinstate five out of 12 of its members, suspended after the murder.
Sinn Fein said the 12 had been in or near Maginnis' bar, Belfast, when Mr McCartney was attacked on 30 January.
Four have resigned, two were expelled, and a decision on the only person still suspended will be made in due course.
Two men were charged in connection with Mr McCartney's death and remanded in custody earlier this month.
Catherine McCartney, Robert's sister, said on Sunday that an email was being sent to Sinn Fein requesting more information about the five people who had been reinstated.
"We gave specific information to Sinn Fein about members of the party and are anxious to find out who has been reinstated," she said
"The family has, therefore, requested this information and also a meeting with the party.
"We would also hope to meet other political leaders in Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic and the British and Irish Governments soon to discuss Robert's case. They will be receiving requests for meetings in the coming days."
Sinn Fein said it had investigated whether those suspended members had followed party president Gerry Adams' call for party members to give witness statements.
'Made statements'
The two expelled members had refused to follow his instructions, Sinn Fein said.
"The remaining six have all made statements to the Police Ombudsman and are continuing to co-operate with her office," a spokesperson said.
"Five of these have had their suspensions lifted, with immediate effect, as they have complied with Sinn Fein's direction on this matter.
"A decision on the sixth person will be made in due course.
"Sinn Fein will continue to do all that we can to help the McCartney family."
Mr McCartney's sisters and partner have frequently met senior politicians in their campaign for justice over the killing.
They met US President George Bush at the White House in Washington in March and have also met with US special envoy to Northern Ireland, Mitchell Reiss and the Irish Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern.

Locals take Fernleigh15 titles
Newcastle-raised Aaron Royle and Newcastle-based Celia Sullohern have secured the 2014 Fernleigh 15 titles on a warm Sunday morning in Newcastle. Doubling as the Athletics NSW 15km road race, Royle won a sprint finish over race organiser Scott Westcott 46:15 to 46:18.
"I was happy with how I ran, but credit to Scott for making me work hard all the way to the line,†Royle said.
"I had a nice hit out this morning – I've got a busy couple of weeks so I saw this as a great opportunity to have a hit out against quality runners,†said the Glasgow Commonwealth games triathlon bronze medallist.
Raised in Newcastle, a few years ago Royle, moved to Wollongong to train with Jamie Turner and his elite triathlon squad.
"It is always nice to head to my home town of Newcastle and have a run in front of my family who don't get to see me race all that often.â€
Next up for Royle is the Nepean and Noosa triathlons in the coming weekends to finish off a busy year.â€
Royle and Westcott recorded the two fastest times in the history of the race.
Early leader in the NSW distance runner of the year competition, Tom do Canto (HIL) was third in 46:47, while Matthew Cox (UTN) was fourth in 47:33. Going into the race, Cox had a 16 point, and unassailable lead, in the distance runner of the year competition, but he ensured he took the prize scoring 12 points.
Newcastle physiotherapy student, Celia Sullohern (MQH), who was the in augural Fernleigh 15 winner in 2012, easily won the 2014 title ahead of Belinda Martin (STG).
"I am just absolutely stoked with today's run. Somewhere between Adamstown and Belmont today, I rediscovered my love of running again!†said Sullohern who ran two minutes 45 seconds faster than her 2012 win.
Martin clocked 54:01 and although nearly two minutes behind Sullohern, her time was still fast enough to have won either of the previous titles. Martin also clinched the NSW distance runner of the year, winning the last three events, the NSW half marathon, NSW marathon and now the Fernleigh 15. In third was local Stephanie Auston (54:32) who recently won the Australian University Games 10,000m title at Homebush.
Sutherland's Luke Bailey won the men's wheelchair division in 41:58, just one second ahead of Paralympic Games medallist and women's winner Rosemary Little (HIL).
Over 1100 athletes competed in the third edition of the Fernleigh 15.
"Thanks to H events and Scott Westcott for a top morning out in sunny Newcastle,†said Sullohern.

Major changes to the British constitution in recent decades
The British constitution prior to its modifications in recent years established a simple system based on conventions for constitutional protocol and rights. The electoral system is based on the idea that the ruling government has a majority in Parliament – a "first past the post" plurality system.
Effectively, the old constitution is based on parliamentary sovereignty. The House of Commons dominates Parliament and there is an enormous concentration of power in the ruling government, but a vote of no confidence removes the ruling government from power, enabling easy transition of power and thus establishing arguably strong and accountable democratic institutions. As the House of Commons can oust a government, there is enormous pressure for MPs to support their party's legislation, allowing a ruling government to pass legislation despite possibly representing a minority.
The character of the old British constitution allowed for less influence from the minority and thus the potential for "tyranny of the majority." Yet traditions of democracy and tolerance, the necessity of popular support for rule, and the tendency of frequent alternation of power between parties in the House of Commons – easy transition of power – has allowed for a strong legacy of democracy in Parliament.
A period of significant constitutional changes, particularly under the government of Tony Blair, has ensued, and many of the changes have created confusion amidst the once simple characteristics of Britain's old constitution.
A major modification to the constitution pertains to the devolution of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. No longer can one say that the United Kingdom is a unitary state ruled from Westminster, yet key policies are still established in Westminster and the devolved legislatures could be dissolved under Westminster's authority.
Devolution has created somewhat of an uncertain situation and there has been an upsurge against some of its implications. For example, the West Lothian Question – which questions why MPs have different powers in different parts of the country – has been posed. The system of federalism is asymmetrical and representation is not proportionally correct; Wales, for example, is overrepresented.
The Barnett Formula, which is the basis for the block grant which finances public services under devolved administrations, has been deemed inefficient and inequitable. There are no budget constraints for policymakers in devolved administrations because public revenues for the most part are not handled by them. Three regions – Scotland, Northern Ireland, and London – receive significantly more public expenditure than it is believed that they should. Though it has been argued that this higher relative spending will quash nationalist threats, this has not been the consequence as the Scottish National Party remains the largest party in Scotland and nationalist parties in general remain forces to be reckoned with. Little has been done to replace this unsustainable system.
The Westminster "first past the post" system was not adopted in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland. Forms of proportional representation were instituted instead to ensure that there was no clear majority on the basis of a minority vote. Among the different systems in Westminster, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the European Parliament, and London, voting systems in the UK have become quite confusing.
The implications of Europe and of the European Union have also prompted the modification of Britain's constitution. The 1998 Human Rights Act placed Britain in compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights – which guarantees certain human rights – and made it unlawful for public authorities to act in any way that is incompatible with the Convention's rights.
More significant to Britain's political system is the implication of European Union membership for parliamentary sovereignty, a central characteristic of Britain's old constitution: Effectively, EU law overrides British law. EU policy is now very influential on British policy. For example, about 75% of new environmental policy in Britain comes from Brussels. Though the European Union does not significantly influence matters such as taxes and healthcare, EU law has become an important aspect of Britain's constitution.
Recent reforms to Britain's constitution have also pertained to the judiciary. The Constitutional Reform Act 2005 created a supreme court, detaching the highest court of appeal from the House of Lords; it was established in October 2009. The Lord Chancellor is no longer the presiding officer of the House of Lords and a Judicial Appointments Commission was created to ensure transparency of judicial appointments.
Previously, if judges disagreed with a law, it had to be changed by Parliament. The European Convention on Human Rights becoming part of British law does not indicate a full scale judicial review. Rather, non-compliant laws are "fast tracked" to Parliament under the belief that it would be so embarrassing that Parliament would reform them. However, today there is an explosion of instances where judges are hearing cases of unfair treatment and discrimination – judicial review cases. The judiciary is planning a more active role in judicial review.
Referendums have also been a subject of debate regarding constitutional reform. Proposals for major constitutional changes are to not only be decided by an act of Parliament but by a referendum. Although an attempt to amend the Political Parties, Elections, and Referendums Bill in 2000 to require a referendum on significant constitutional matters failed, it has become apparent that major constitutional changes – for example, decisions regarding devolution or European Union membership – will face demands for a referendum. The implications of this norm, however, have been confusing. It is very difficult to say when or how referendums should be used. Questions of who is to write the question and what qualifies as a constitutional change remain unanswered.
The House of Lords has become subject of recent constitutional modifications as well. In 1999, Blair's government removed the remaining ninety-two hereditary posts, the presence of which has always arguably represented the possibility of a Conservative majority. Currently all posts in the House of Lords are appointed. There is debate over whether House of Lords members should be appointed or elected (or a mixture of both), but any moves to make posts elected to date has failed.
It is clear that Britain has been going through significant constitutional changes in recent decades, particularly under the Blair government, which devolved powers to Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, made significant changes to the voting system, oversaw the European Convention on Human Rights into British law, and reformed the judiciary and House of Lords. Many of these changes have resulted in confusion and uncertainty as to their future consequences. Furthermore, it has been argued that constitutional changes lacked coherence. Many believe that the constitutional reforms have made no significant difference, though it is clearly still too soon to evaluate the impact of some changes. The disproportionate nature of devolution, the questions of European identity and policy, the role of the judiciary, and the basis and protocol for a referendum are just a few of the uncertain issues of Britain's constitutional reforms.

In order to bring a malicious prosecution claim, you have to show the police lacked probable cause to arrest you and that they did so with malice. Malicious prosecution cases are like false arrest cases in that respect. As one judge used to love to say in federal court years ago, when the police arrest someone and the court throws out the conviction, that's giving the defendant a ticket to the courthouse. But that ticket does not always result in victory.
The case is LaBoy v. County of Ontario, a summary order decided on September 9. Plaintiff was arrested for harassment. The police said he resisted arrest, and a Grand Jury indicted and a public jury convicted. But the Appellate Division reversed the conviction because the accusatory instrument that alleged LaBoy had done these things was not written by an officer who had witnessed the crimes. Facial insufficiency is a nice, clean way to overturn a conviction, because all the appellate court has to do is check to ensure the documents were prepared properly. But what does a facial insufficiency dismissal mean for a malicious prosecution case?
To win a malicious prosecution case, you have to show the criminal proceedings terminated in your favor and the police cannot arrest you again for that event. Malicious prosecution cases are more profitable for plaintiffs than mere false arrest claims, which only entitle you to damages until the date of your arraignment. In malicious prosecution cases, you get damages for the hassles of being prosecuted long after the arraignment.
While a facial insufficiency conviction reversal is all well and good if you want to erase the conviction from your record, it is not enough to bring a malicious prosecution claim. The Court of Appeals (Pooler, Parker and Livingston) says: "When an arrest is dismissed on the grounds of legal insufficiency, ... rather than pure innocence, courts have found that the was not a termination in favor of the plaintiff."

Providing consistent training and education to employees is vital for maintaining a competitive edge and inconsistent improvement of working processes. Due to the steady rise in technologies businesses are undergoing transformations faster than ever. This has also affected how HR teams choose to track and manage training materials and their methods of providing the right material to the right people.
Human resource professionals play a key role in the corporate training of employees. Their functions include scheduling training hours, arranging for proper training materials, arranging for subject experts and support employees in developing additional skills. With developments in technology like Cloud-based systems and QR codes, we can see the rise of learning management systems and systems for tracking training material. Such modern capabilities are of great help to the HR in managing and tracking their training content. Hence, one can observe a drastic change in the way HR teams manage corporate training.
Cloud databases basically allow the HR team to monitor and track their diverse sets training materials from one platform. Cloud-based systems enable employees spread across various locations to gain access to training materials without having the need to physically travel. These learning material management systems come with inbuilt tracking features which monitor the access to the files and progress of various employees with their training. Some of the key features of cloud-based training material tracking and learning management are mentioned below:
Originally invented by DENSO (a Toyota firm), QR codes were originally intended for tracking of automobile parts. However, they have become immensely popular due to their ability to store thousands of characters in a simplified and concise format. This has widespread applications in the field of learning management and training material tracking.
The HR team needs to analyze what is the most efficient way of managing learning materials and making them available to employees. Added to this is the responsibility of educating the new employees about various policies of the company and various features and services available to them. Utilizing QR codes can greatly improve and simplify the process of learning management and training material tracking.
Simply by providing QR codes, HR teams can give instant access to training materials. Every employee today is equipped with a smartphone with easily available QR scanning features. By pasting a particular QR code near a tool device or department office and by linking it to the right training material, HR teams can equip the employees with the necessary capabilities for learning on their own. Posting such similar QR codes as posters all across the facility not only automates the task of distributing training material but also makes the environment more interactive and conducive to learning. For example. posting QR codes linking to training materials regarding machines and tools can be placed outside assembly lines or QR codes containing the policies of the company can be posted at the entrance to the main offices. Tracking and management of training materials with QR codes also allows HR to correctly link the right information with the right service or facility.

"Love GoCodes! The software and mobile app are fantastic for my crew and I in our day to day routine. Since we've been using GoCodes, we have seen a significant decrease in missing assets. Thank you!"
Brian Thomas, J&M Keystone
"Go Codes changed the way we keep inventory. Adding any criteria to track is a great feature! We can use our funding codes to be track our investments. We can keep track of the location of the devices as long as we scan whenever it moves locations."
Frank Lagomarsino, Millbrae School District
"I use GoCodes to conveniently track periodic inspections for safety equipment such as fire extinguishers on construction sites all over the US. My team and I am are exposed to some extreme environments. We no longer have to carry a clipboard with pages of inspection forms that blow away in the wind, become rain soaked, become illegible, or could get dropped from atop of a high structure. With GoCodes everything I need to document my inspection in on my iPhone making my job safer and easier."
Jordan Woods,Overland Contracting
"Simple and worth every penny. I love the ease of use to set up and the support i received. I am the only IT person for my company and it was hard for me to stay focused on this project very long as more critical things were going on. The support team gave us a product package that fit my company and gave us some time to get testing it fully and we liked what we saw. "

What People Are Saying…
Jonathan's well-honed presentation was truly an enriching experience. His delivery was engaging, savvy and well-informed. His material expanded our awareness on the topic of internet / online safety. It brought our PTSA Parent Ed to a new level and we are very appreciative.."
Jonathan takes complicated topics and simplifies them in an engaging and informative way. His workshops provide our students and parents with actionable and accessible information that will greatly benefit them now and in the future."
The educational system focuses on our youth being highly academically prepared and as a result under educates our youth in Life Skills. Jonathan Cristall brilliantly addresses crucial topics that have students and parents questioning why this information isn't included in our school curriculum. Jonathan Cristall's interactive style keeps the audience engaged and asking for more. As Santa Monica High School's PTSA president, I was thrilled to have discovered such an amazing speaker that addressed my concerns regarding our children's success in life and in turn augment their academic achievement. The school administration recognized and fully endorsed special assemblies to open a pathway to provide this vital life education. Thank you Jonathan Cristall for making our program a reality."
I hired Jonathan to teach my sons, their friends, and parents about sexual violence and misconduct. Jonathan's presentations were engaging, highly-informative, and provided accessible and actionable information that I know will help keep my sons safe for life. I now have this critical information too and can help keep my sons on track!"
The match up between Jonathan and Common Sense is a natural one. We help parents prepare their kids to navigate the digital world safely, ethically, and responsibly, and Jonathan's unique perspective on safety provides advice for parents and kids about student rights and consent. Both are critical to the health and well-being of kids today. We learned from him, as well, and look forward to continuing to work together."
We've brought Jonathan into Beverly High numerous times to help our students (and their parents) develop 21st century life safety skills. Each time Jonathan has presented, the response has been phenomenal. Our students are engaged and interested by Jonathan's content, his engaging speaking style, and his compelling personal story. The parents are thrilled to be provided with digestible information that they're able to use to help educate their kids. Jonathan is easy to work with and we're already planning to bring him back for multiple speaking dates soon."
It was a pleasure having Jonathan Cristall present to our Village School Alumni Parent group. His presentation style is extremely engaging, and he is masterful in his ability to turn complex legal concepts into practical talking points that parents can share with their teens. "What They Don't Teach Teens" is a much needed resource for parents hoping to raise informed, safe, and independent young people who know their rights and and are thoughtful in their actions."
Jonathan's presentations for our congregation were very enlightening and important. They were attended and well received. Parents were grateful for the opening to talk with their teens about crucial subjects, and teens appreciated Jonathan's relatability and directness. The audience was parents with their teens and all were engaged by his unique content and dynamic presentation style. We received wonderful feedback about the events and can't wait to bring him back!"

LAKE PLACID - Of all the veterans on the United States luge national team, Taylor Morris had a weekend to remember in Lake Placid.
On Friday, the native of Salt Lake City, Utah nailed down his first trip to the Olympics with a fifth-place finish in men's singles on the opening day of the World Cup at Mount Van Hoevenberg.
And then, he finished as the American's lone medalist on Saturday, sliding to a bronze in the sprint races that wrapped up this winter's World Cup tour stop in the Olympic Village.

The performance by Morris no doubt left another one of his luge memories well in the past. Four years ago, at the same time of the year, Morris fell short of qualifying for the 2014 Winter Games, after a mere margin of four-one-thousands of a seconds left the 26-year-old off the U.S. roster heading to Sochi, Russia.
Morris is one of 10 USA Luge athletes who were officially named to the Olympic squad, which will compete in Pyeongchang, South Korea in less than two months.
Saturday's races kicked off with the two-heat women's singles competition, and concluded with doubles, women's and men's sprints, which were one-run contests featuring 15 racer-fields in each discipline.
Saturday marked Erin Hamlin's final international competition on the same track where she made history by winning the 2009 women's singles World Championship title, which ended a 99-race win streak by the powerful German program.
This time around, however, the results didn't quite go the way the native of the southwestern Adirondack town of Remsen would have preferred. After standing in third place following her opening run, Hamlin dropped off the podium on her next trip while finishing in sixth place during a morning of racing on a fast track made trickier by a dumping of snow.
Hamlin's two-run total of 1 minute, 28.475 seconds was a little more than a quarter second behind the race winner, Germany's Natalie Geisenberger, who is the defending Olympic champion and one of the most decorated female luge athletes in the history of the sport. Geisenberger put down the fastest run in the first heat and the third-quickest second-heat run for a winning 1:28:11 combined time.
Hamlin, the bronze medalist at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, had already earned her trip to Pyeongchang prior to this weekend's competition. The 31-year-old will retire from competition after this season.
Canadians rounded out the women's singles podium, with Alex Gough sliding to silver in 1:28.315, and Kimberley McRae claiming bronze with a 1:28.352 combined time.
Twenty-four athletes started the women's single race and 22 recorded official finish times after two athletes crashed. Two more American women, Summer Britcher and Emily Sweeney, also competed and slid to respective eighth- and 17th-place results. Both racers join Hamlin in the USA Luge contingent heading to Pyeongchang.
Britcher, who won the women's World Cup singles title here in 2015, turned in runs of 44.298 and 44.385 for a 1:28.683 total. Sweeney had a rough first run, in fact, the slowest of the heat after costly mistakes near the top of the track. But the Connecticut resident came back strong on her next trip, finishing with the sixth-fastest run in the second heat for a 1:29.218 total.
Germans Toni Eggert and Sascha Beneken continued their domination of the doubles, winning Saturday's sprint to capture their second World Cup gold medal in as many days. Peter Penz and Georg Fischler of Austria placed second and Andris Sics and Juris Sics of Latvia captured the doubles sprint bronze.
Americans claimed the next two spots, with Matt Mortensen and Jayson Terdiman sliding into fourth place, and Justin Krewson and Andrew Sherk placing fifth. Jacob Hyrns and Anthony Espinoza placed eight to give the U.S. three-top 10 finishes in the doubles sprint.
Saturday's men's sprint title went to Austria's Wolfgang Kindl, who won in 32.441 seconds. Germany's Johannes Ludwig was runner-up in 32.655 and Morris finished third in 32.665 to earn his first World Cup medal.
Also for the U.S. in the men's sprint, Tucker West placed fifth and Chris Mazdzer was 15th.
Germany's Dajana Eitberger won the women's sprint, Gough finished runner-up to earn her second silver in as many days, and Geisenberger slid to the bronze.
In her last competitive World Cup heat in Lake Placid, Hamlin finished fourth. Britcher was the second women's singles sprint slider for the U.S. and placed eighth.
The World Cup tour will pick back up in Koenigssee, Germany following the holiday break.

Contemporary Jewelry – Bracelets
Creating is my passion! If I'm not making jewelry, I'm painting oils on canvas or acrylics on the back of glass (reverse painting). Most of my inspiration comes when visiting my garden or playing with my cats.
I enjoy searching for unusual semi-precious stones, unique sterling silver chain, and am especially attracted to any findings or beads that are vintage. Most of the sterling silver chains are oxidized creating a matte or antique looking finish. I also enhance most beads with a technique called wire wrapping, which cradles the top of the bead with a nest-like cone.
When looking through my beads, chain, and findings, my mind starts working like I'm solving a puzzle. I look forward to putting all the pieces and parts together into something exceptional.

Feeling angry during or after a divorce is normal, but excessive anger can interfere with your life and damage the other relationships in your life. If you are struggling to handle your divorce anger, then you may need to find ways to express your feelings, develop new coping mechanisms, or work on preventing your anger from developing and escalating. Learning how to handle divorce anger may take some time, but with practice you should be able to start living a happier, calmer life.
Method 1 of 3:
Expressing Your Anger
1Seek help from a therapist. If you are struggling with anger due to your divorce, then you may want to seek help from a therapist before you do anything else. A therapist can help you to identify the sources of your anger and learn healthy strategies for dealing with your anger.[1]
2Write about how you feel. Journaling can be an effective way to express your anger and to understand the reasons behind your anger as well. By simply writing about how you feel, you may start to notice patterns and you can use these patterns to figure out what triggers your anger regarding your divorce.[2]
- Try making a list of everything about your ex that makes you feel angry. What does your ex do or say that makes you feel angry? Then, for each item, try to identify at least one potential solution that you can work towards as a long-term goal.
- For example, if you feel angry at your spouse for cheating on you, then you might decide that a possible solution is to forgive your spouse for this offense. Keep in mind that you do not have to achieve this goal overnight. Check your progress once per month to see how you are doing.
3Talk to someone about how you feel. Sharing your feelings with a friend or family member can also be a good way to express your emotions. Call someone up the next time you feel angry and share your thoughts and feelings.[3]
- Talk to a friend or family member who is willing and able to listen to you without judgment. Don't talk to someone who is also close to your ex-spouse because it might be uncomfortable for him or her. You may also want to choose someone who can empathize with you, such as someone who has also been through divorce.
4Join a support group. Support groups can also provide opportunities for you to express your feelings and gain some validation from others. During these sessions, you may find comfort from sharing your feelings with people who can relate, hearing about similar struggles, and getting support from the group.[4]
- Try joining a support group for people who are also going through a divorce for another healthy way to express your feelings.
Method 2 of 3:
Coping with Anger
1Use calming strategies when anger strikes. Although it is important to express your anger, it is not helpful to become enraged. Therefore, you should develop some calming strategies to deal with anger. Some good ways to calm yourself down include:[5]
- Meditating. Meditation is a great way to get focused on the present and tune into your body, which can help to defuse your anger. If you have never meditated before, then you may want to consider taking a class.
- Doing deep breathing exercises. Deep breathing is a natural, easy way to calm yourself down. Inhale a slow, deep breath into your abdomen, and then exhale slowly. Repeat this process for about 10 minutes, or until you start to feel calm.
- Counting to 10. Try closing your eyes and counting to 10. This should give you a chance to calm down, but you can always count to 10 again or pick a higher number such as 50 or 100 if counting to 10 is not enough.[6]
2Exercise more. Getting plenty of regular exercise can also help to defuse your anger and improve your overall sense of well-being. Try taking kick-boxing classes, starting a running program, or taking up rock climbing.[7]
- You might also consider getting a punching bag. Hitting something when you feel angry may help you to feel less angry.
- Try yoga. Yoga is a great way to strengthen and tone your body while also quieting your mind. Try taking a yoga class to get some exercise and relaxation at the same time.
3Find new social opportunities. During a divorce, your anger may cause you to feel isolated and you may start to withdraw socially. Instead of allowing your anger to isolate you, try to build some new social connections.[8]
- Try to find ways to meet people with similar interests. For example, you might take a class at your local community college, join a book club, or get involved with a local charity.
4Avoid taking anger out on your loved ones. While it is normal to feel anger from your divorce, it is not appropriate to take your anger out on your loved ones.[9] If you find yourself lashing out at friends and family members due to anger at your spouse, then seek help from a therapist right away. Lashing out at your loved ones can cause permanent damage to these relationships.
- To determine if you are taking your anger out on others, start paying closer attention to your behavior and attitudes. If you are mistreating your loved ones and/or feeling justified in doing so, then you may be directing your divorce anger towards your loved ones.
Method 3 of 3:
Preventing Angry Outbursts
1Watch for physical signs of anger. Anger can cause certain physical symptoms that may help you to determine when you need to use your calming strategies. Some of the physical symptoms of anger include:[10]
- feeling like you stomach is in knots
- clenching your fists or teeth
- feeling short of breath
- getting a headache
- having a flushed face
- feeling restless, like you need to move around
- not being able to focus
- feeling tense, such as in your shoulders and neck
- having a racing pulse
2Identify thought patterns that may lead to anger. Certain thought patterns may also lead to anger or escalate your anger. Learning how to spot these patterns may help to defuse your anger. The next time you find yourself thinking a negative thought, try to challenge it. Some thought patterns that can lead to anger include:[11]
- Overgeneralizing. For example, you might get angry when you find yourself thinking, "She was always dishonest with me!" To reframe this thought, you might change it to something like, "I have some issues with trust because of the instances where my ex-wife lied to me. However, I don't have to keep feeling angry about these events."
- Jumping to conclusions. For example, you might get angry if you think to yourself, "He is trying to get full custody of the kids to avoid paying any child support!" Instead, try changing the thought to something like, "I feel upset that he wants full custody, but I do not know his reasons for wanting full custody."
- Blaming. For example, you might get angry when you think to yourself, "It's all her fault that I am so unhappy!" Instead, you might change the thought to something like, "I have been depressed lately, but there may be lots of reasons for how I feel."
3Steer clear of situations and places that are likely to anger you. Putting yourself in a situation that you know is going to make you angry is a bad idea. Therefore, if it is at all possible, try to avoid these situations and places.[12]
- For example, if you get angry when you see your ex-husband with his new girlfriend, then you should avoid going places that you know they like to go. Or, if you tend to argue with your ex-wife when you drop off your child at her house, then you might ask a friend or family member to drop off your child instead.
4Consider anger management classes. If anger is a persistent problem in your life, then you may want to consider enrolling in an anger management class. Anger management classes can teach you how to identify the reasons for your anger and help you to develop healthy strategies for expressing and controlling your anger.[13]Advertisement

Under the umbrella of BioMedBridges, the biomedical sciences research infrastructures involved in the project plus AnaEE, ISBE and MIRRI as well as LifeWatch developed a document on Principles of data management and sharing at European Research Infrastructures. The document makes key recommendations on how data management and sharing via the research infrastructures can be supported and encouraged :
- The RIs encourage data sharing and reuse and support the notion that public funders should encourage Open Access to data from publicly funded research where possible.
- Some data may only be shared under certain conditions and with appropriate safekeeping mechanisms in place, such as personally identifiable data, data subject to ethical or legal restrictions, or restrictions for intellectual property protection.
- To encourage data sharing, systematic reward and recognition mechanisms are necessary.
- Proposals for publicly funded research at RIs should include a data management plan concerning the deposition of data in long-term archives that addresses specific resources and activities (including standardisation of data production and curation/annotation).
- Funding for tools and activities connected to data deposition must be available.
- Systems, services and resources must be in place to facilitate straightforward data deposition by researchers, including support concerning the necessary data use agreements and consent forms for data with data protection or intellectual property requirements.
- Systems are also needed to capture and track data provenance and use.
- To ensure necessary trust by data providers or depositors, RIs must guarantee high standards of security and traceability.

EU Chemicals Agency experts says glyphosate not carcinogenic
Latest ruling contradicts WHO agency's opinion, says Health NGO.
ECHA fiding says scientific evidence 'did not meet the criteria to classify glyphosate as a carcinogen, as a mutagen or as toxic for reproduction' | Photo credit: Fotolia
Environmentalists say they have "grave concern" at the finding by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) that glyphosate is not a carcinogen.
The Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) voiced "disappointment" at the ruling.
The opinion from ECHA's Committee for Risk Assessment directly contradicts that of the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which classified glyphosate as a 'probable carcinogen' in 2015.
- EU must follow science-based authorisation approach says Julie Girling
- Europe must always aim higher when it comes to health and environmental protection, says glyphosate co-rapporteur
- Real danger that politicians are sleep-walking into a food production crisis, warns crop protection industry chief
- MEPs and industry experts join forces in calling for 'compromise' approach to new EU fertilizer rules
- New plant breeding solutions key to EU agri-food production
- MEPs issue urgent call for new EU GMO rules
- Anthea McIntyre: EU must develop innovative farming techniques to safeguard farming sector's future
- Ignoring scientific consensus is a high price to pay for political convenience, argues Beat Späth.
- Glyphosate: MEPs call for 'more scientific evidence' before re-authorisation
Génon Jensen, Executive Director of HEAL called the decision a setback for cancer prevention, saying, "We expect that in the future, IARC will be recognised as having been right. But meanwhile, Europe is set to give glyphosate the green light and therefore public health will lose out on an important opportunity for cancer prevention.
"Cancer rates can be brought down by taking hazardous chemicals off the market," she said.
HEAL, she said, had been working for many years to gain greater attention to the health impacts of exposure to glyphosate and other chemicals.
Calls to remove glyphosate from the market have been part of a strategy in cancer prevention supported by the Association of European Cancer Leagues as well as HEAL members working on cancer prevention.
The ECHA's decision paves the way for Brussels to make a final decision on the chemical which is used in Monsanto's key herbicide, Roundup.
Others welcomed the decision, including British Tory MEP Julie Girling, the ECR group's European Parliament spokesman on the environment. Girling is also a member of the Parliament's Agriculture Committee.
She said "the opinion confirms what the EU and other scientific bodies have been saying since this debate began in 2015."
Girling added, "It also represents the first step in restoring certainty for farmers so that they can continue responsibly using this important substance to provide the public with safe and nutritious food."
The European Crop Protection Association's, Graeme Taylor welcomed the committee's opinion saying, "This classification is consistent with the existing 90,000 pages of evidence, 3300 peer-reviewed studies, the opinions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) and regulatory agencies worldwide – glyphosate is not carcinogenic."
The British National Farmers' Union (NFU) also welcomed the ECHA's finding that the scientific evidence 'did not meet the criteria to classify glyphosate as a carcinogen, as a mutagen or as toxic for reproduction', with NFU vice president Guy Smith saying, "We welcome the classification of glyphosate by the ECHA which reinforces its safety.
"The overwhelming weight of evidence shows that glyphosate poses no risk to human health when used correctly. This opinion is shared by regulatory bodies around the world, including the World Health Organisation, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the UN and the European Food Safety Authority."
Glyphosate products are also widely used by gardeners and for weed control in forestry and aquatic environments. More than 300 glyphosate herbicides from more than 40 different companies are currently registered for sale in Europe, many of which are available in gardening and hardware stores.
European Commission spokesperson Enrico Brivio stressed that the executive "took notice" of ECHA's opinion which was "based on scientific evidence".
He noted, though, that this is not the end of the process since the draft opinion will now be subjected to an editorial check-in with ECHA before being formally submitted to the Commission.
"The submission of the final opinion to the Commission is expected before the summer break. After submission of the final opinion, the Commission services will re-start their discussions with the member states as regards the approval of glyphosate as an active substance in plant protection products", said Brivio.

Artist Walter Gordinier has created striking architectural and cast glass sculptures for colleges and universities, corporations, and private collections throughout the U.S. and abroad. The Portland, Oregon-based sculptor studies light and uses it to create color in his works. The three elements commissioned by the Library Board of Trustees employ dichroic and cast glass, metal, paint, and acrylic tubing. In all three works, the interplay between sunlight, interior light, and the elements of the sculptures create varied effects throughout the day. Contrasts of color, iridescence, and luminosity are evident in all parts of the work.
Journey to Janus
The aerial sculpture is entitled Journey to Janus after the Roman god portrayed with two faces who sees both the past and the future, just as the library is the keeper of the past and the future. The features of the aerial sculpture allude to the Odyssey, the great poetic voyage of antiquity. In this piece, that voyage is a metaphor for the library, speaking to the magic, adventure, and fulfillment of dreams that transcend time. Within the atrium, the boat—a vessel represented by the cone—begins the journey. The sphere and articulated line are a compass to the future unknown that is symbolized by the crystal dichroic glass alignment where the passage ends its course. The tubes, located in the second floor spine, extend the piece by representing change and movement—a sail.
To Gordinier, it is up to the artwork, "to create an experience of passage, an event for the spirit," while providing, "a point of contemplation and revival [that] will be worth re-seeing tens of times, each time, fresh."

(pre-posted, i don't blog at work.
I spent my first minute of February 1st, 2012 looking for my promise rings. Love & Hope; I had them as a promise to myself that I will always remember, to have faith, to accept and to believe. I thought I lost them, but then again, you don't lose Love or Hope. Then, I spent the next 15 minutes lying on the floor, something I love to do after a long day. Having spend 16 hours outside and at work, it pretty damn well was a long day. That pretty much happens everyday, such is the nature of my job.
Before I know, 31 days in January have passed. I knew, I would feel this way and this was bound to happen. How not to, when you spent 6 days working and then with that precious other day, you squeeze as much as you do in that day? And so, my life becomes a somewhat predictable routine. I don't mind, in fact in some ways I am thankful to be able to concentrate my time and energy into something better than what that could drive me crazy.
Of course, I have insane days and days that gets too overwhelming. But the first step is always much harder, so is the first few months on the job. And to pretty much stay sane and keep my creative juices flowing, I decided to commit myself to a | project 52, which a year-long weekly photo challenge. There are websites that sets a theme for every week that goes by, but I personally prefer to pick my own theme. I won't say what my theme is but I think it'll be pretty obvious from the pictures.
* * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * *
Starting this project have been pretty amazing for me, pushing my boundaries and having to come up with a picture for every week. I have been really happy with #1, #2 and the best of all would have to be #4. For #4, it's one thing to have an idea in your mind, to imagine it how the picture would or should turn out to be and having to go and shoot with the result being just as you have imagined if not better. But then again, not every picture or shot will be just like that. There will be a photographer's block, when what you imagined no matter what wouldn't turn out as you wished. So, #5 ended up being the picture I didn't visualize or imagined. I don't like it because it doesn't match the set. But this doesn't matter, the process of taking the pictures was what is important.
When I took #5, I had a horrible day before that and also after that. I was so mind screwed, in fact the whole day should be called the day-we-screw-Carmen's-mind-day. I hope next week will be better. It will, I have faith. The pictures are also up in Facebook and uploaded into that album, with captions and lyrics that I feel most when I took the picture.

This little nugget was barely 10 days old, Katie and her husband had just moved into this new house in Deerfield, and we had a stormy day for the session - but despite all the mayhem I'd say we got some pretty stunning portraits of baby Luca. Katie asked so many wonderful questions before we had the session, and I was able to guide her through some simple but necessary steps to make the session go off without any problems. A big thing for newborns is to have the house nice and warm, like five degrees hotter than normal. This ensures that the baby will be comfortable when they are without any blankets. The other big tip is to make sure your newborn is fed, changed, and on the edge of a nap. That way your baby will sleep through the majority of the session. Baby Luca did a wonderful job, and I am so in love with all of these portraits.
With the perfect amount of clouds in the sky, Katherine, Brian, and I set out to get some engagement portraits in the Mill Ruins Park and Minnehaha Falls area. These two actually had one of their first dates at Minnehaha Falls! Such cuties. Katherine came with all these great ideas for the shoot, including the "&" sign and the first letters of their names. A photographer's dream! The shoot went without a hitch and I'd say we got some lovely shots.
Hi! I'm Kelsey - cat lover, coffee drinker, and green thumb. I've been photographing people for over a decade and can't wait for you to take a peek around!

Hooky psychonauts Sunboy are the latest in a long line of bands drinking deep from Ken Kesey's electric Kool-aid. The Video for their stand out track 'Highway Screaming' gained cult status, and a lot of journalistic pawing, a few months back, and got us wondering what LSD laced wilderness these long haired freaks had crawled out of and how, exactly, we could get there ourselves.
They've only released three tracks but, between them, they've showcased a flair for big riffs, woozy, punch-drunk melodies and darkly compelling vocals all tied up in a thick psychedelic fog.
The psych scene may already have it's crossover heroes, Tame Impala and Foxygen, but Sunboy are making a compelling case for pole position in 2014.

The Best Women's Travel Writing 2009. I have been compiling the lists for many years, inspired by a true essay I read in the original Chicken Soup for the Soul. I have a hard time reading this story out loud without crying but the idea of having a list of everything good your students in your sixth or seventh grade class I think is a nice one and an experience former students always do remember, whether they keep the lists or not.
This is my first year actually being a seventh grade classroom teacher so this transition period leaving elementary school to go to high school is really up close and personal this year. Such a funny period of life, caught between childhood and adolescence. Yesterday they were telling me how one of my students who had just turned thirteen shaved the night before and he complained how hard it was. Many of my students have spent their whole school life in our small school so it is very much their second home and exciting yet painful to leave.
I am in the midst of writing various certificates, and I still don't have my report cards back to deal with any corrections, sign them, run them off and file them with only two school days left before they are sent home.
Last week I survived Science World and Sun Yat Sen Gardens field trips, both went well but I was tired at the end of both days and then there was Sports Day and the end of the report cards.
This week we made it through the grad luncheon, a buddy picnic, and a day at Spanish Banks West Beach. Although there are many beaches in our city and they are free, most of my students had never actually been to this beach. To give city kids a day like this is always a wonderful experience. The weather was perfect as well.
I came home a bit salt encrusted, tired, planning an exciting evening of laundry, house cleaning, and working on certificates, lists, etc. I had forgotten all about a fundraising event at Nu Restaurant for Room to Read when a friend phoned to ask how to get to the restaurant. I ended up joining her and her husband, getting to sit out on the deck on False Creek under the Granville Street Bridge celebrating a great organization. We had a chance to chat with chapter leader, Sharon Davis, who recommended two books I want to read now. One is Half the Sky by Nicholas Kristof and Sharon Wudunn. I can't believe I had missed this one about educating and empowering women to fight poverty and extremism. The second is Dead Aid : Why Aid is Not Working and How There is a Better Way for Africa by Dambisa Moyo, Moyo, originally from Zambia, is an international economist who writes about macroeconomy and global affairs. Rumour has it that she will be speaking in Vancouver sometime soon.
It's finally looking like summer here and I must say I am looking forward to it. Mind you it has clouded over here. I have to go and water my fertilized lawn and pull lots of weeds and contemplate making it through a couple more days including a Grade Seven assembly etc. Hmm... all those good things.
This blog was developed when I was the Later Literacy Consultant of the Vancouver School Board in Vancouver,B.C.then a happy grade six/seven teacher! And now I am happily retired but still learning!

What I have been reading lately in young adult literature
The first is one I had heard of but hadn't read, Cut by Patricia McCormick. I very much enjoyed another of her books, Sold, about a girl sold into contemporary slavery. Maybe enjoy wasn't the right word... Cut is of course about a girl who cuts herself but I thought this book was very well written and engaging. I thought it was an understandable story of why a girl would cut herself.
Teaching Grade Seven for the first time, I have learned a bit more about Ancient Cultures, and the students are certainly fascinated by them. Invisible City. the first of The Joshua Files by M.G. Harris, is about Joshua whose father, an archaeologist, has mysteriously died in a plane crash in Mexico. Strange things begin to happen in Oxford so that Joshua and two of his friends go to investigate in Mexico, and Joshua discovers that a contemporary Mayan culture is still secretly existing. This is a great thriller and the first of a series for middle schoolers.
Many many years ago I visited a beautiful part of the United States called The Outer Banks in North Carolina. One thing we did was go to an outside theatre and see a play that has been playing in the summer for years in Roanoke Island called The Lost Colony . The first settlement that the British made was in Roanoke Island in 1587 but then the settlement was cut off for several years due to the impending Spanish War and when a British ship finally returned, none of the settlers were found. Cate of the Lost Colony, a well researched novel by Lisa Klein, tells the story of a fictional maid of Queen Elizabeth the first, who makes the mistake of falling in love with Sir Walter Raleigh, and is banished to the colony. I found this book to be a real page turner and Cate an interesting character. It was fascinating imagining the contrast of life in Elizabethan England to that in the "wilds" of North America with the Croatoan native people. Were all the colonists killed or died of starvation or did some of them just become part of the native community and hide from the ship's crew?
I am, I admit a Jane Austen fan, every few years rereading all her novels. Needless to say, I was Jane Austen's Best Friend, had a certain appeal. Another well researched novel that is based on Jane's relationship with her real life cousin, Jenny Cooper. Again, author, Cora Harrison, used research as well as her imagination to write this novel. I found this quite an engaging read as one can perhaps see where ideas for Austen's novels began to hatch and get a picture of her own life.
The Unidentified by Rae Mariz, is a science fiction novel, based on the idea of what if in an attempt to save money on education, schools end up in malls run by corporate sponsors. I think this is one that would appeal to some of my students. It presents a scary scenario with believable characters and has the appeal of a mystery. The heroine Kid is bemused when after witnessing an anti-corporate prank, causing her mother to be thrilled and her best friend jealous, she is "branded" but also becoming involved with another group, the unidentified. A good read.

Thoughts coming to the end of the school year...
I had a fun mini-unit last week when I had a hodge podge of two classes due to the district track meet. I focussed on wolves using fairly tale (I used the first story from the fantastic There's a Wolf at the Door,) an apparently factual book, Emily Gravett's Wolves, (well somewhat factual until the rabbit is eaten by the wolf as he is busily reading a book about wolves), and a factual article from National Geographic Kids and ending with them writing reports on wolves. I think I needed to do more of this kind of thing! We had lots of good listening and note taking and lots of using of strategies and everyone had a beautiful looking finished product in their own words.
I am ending the year with the grade sixes presenting reports each on a city and the sevens picking a subject in Ancient China, Rome, or Greece and doing presentations since we ran out of time! Mind you when I taught grade six I never finished the socials curriculum. Some of my studies this year seemed to peter out and some never happened. But now it's the point where I have to realize this and hope that they have better science teachers next year but have acquired some non-fiction reading skills, and that they will finish Dormia and it's sequel on their own.
But again maybe that is the great thing about teaching. It doesn't end with us in one year.
Science World and Sun Yat Sen Gardens. At the latter we are going to make gun powder. They asked if they get to bring it home. Hmm...
P.S. I am avoiding writing report cards!

New France coach Laurent Blanc has taken the decision to suspend the entire 23-man squad which took part in this summer's failed World Cup campaign for next month's friendly against Norway.
Les Bleus' campaign ended in failure and controversy, as they managed only one point and one goal from three games in Group A and were left in disarray when the squad refused to train two days before their final game against hosts South Africa.
A number of senior figures had called for sanctions against the perceived ringleaders of the protest – but Blanc proposed to exclude the whole party at a meeting today with the French Football Federation's federal council, who ratified the decision.
A statement on www.fff.fr today read: "Laurent Blanc met this Friday, July 23, with the federal council, to whom he presented his staff and his sporting project.
"He also proposed to the federal council, who accepted, not to retain for the friendly against Norway, on Wednesday August 11 in Oslo, any of the 23 players officially selected by the French Football Federation for the World Cup in South Africa.
"Laurent Blanc will release the list of players retained for this match against Norway on Thursday August 5 at 11.30."
The strike, on June 20, came after Chelsea forward Nicolas Anelka was sent home from the tournament following a heated exchange with then coach Raymond Domenech at half-time during the defeat to Mexico on June 17.
Captain Patrice Evra accused a "traitor" within the party of leaking details of Anelka's foul-mouthed rant to the media and of destabilising the squad, and was then seen arguing with fitness coach Robert Duverne at the start of the scheduled training session.
Duverne stormed off the training ground and the squad headed for their bus and refused to train, leaving Domenech to read a statement to the press on their behalf.
Former France defender Lilian Thuram and Marcel Desailly called for Evra to be banned from national team duty over his part in the insurrection, and departing federation president Jean-Pierre Escalettes took a similar stance on Anelka.
But Blanc said upon his unveiling as Domenech's successor: "It is not for me to decide on sanctions. I am not the bogeyman. If I consider they are the best players in their position, I will take them."

2 Hour CE Course
How do codes, laws, rules and regulations affect your practice of massage and bodywork? In this course, you are presented with a detailed view of the laws and rules of the Florida Board of Massage Therapy and how they apply to the massage therapy business. The course covers chapters 480, 456 and Rule Chapter 64B7 required per the continuing education rules as presented by the Florida Board of Massage Therapy.
(NOTE: This course is required for Florida Massage licensure renewal.)
Well written and informative! GREAT review of Florida law for massage practice!
J. McMillen, LMT
A terrific packet of information - detailed, explicit: 'learn it,' 'know it' approach.
J. Murphy, LMT, NCTMB, AMTA
I am completely satisfied with this course and will visit this site for CEUs in the future.
C. Purvis, LMT, NCTMB
The course was very straight forward and simple to take. I completed the course from my home, making the time and financial investment affordable.
J. Phipps, LMT, AMTA
I enjoyed this course immensely and would definitely recommend it to other licensed massage therapists.
J. Terry, LMT
Even though I am not practicing in FL, it is very insightful taking this class. It is an extension of ethics, and could very well be used to fulfill that requirement for the Nationals.
Deborah Schick, BS, LMT, NCTMB
A must to any massage practitioner, thanks.
Damian Medina, LMT
Interesting as usual!
Karen Anselmo, LMT
Very clean cut and to the point!
LaToya Woodley, LMT, NCTMB
Interesting course..
Robert Foster, LMT
This answered several of my questions that I had. Like I didn't understand: If I just received my license last year and it is to be renewed every 2 yrs. Why do I have to renew it this year?
Glenda McFall, LMT
Thank You, The materials have good information and the support was great.
Maria Munoz, LMT
Simple and easy to follow along with.
Raffaele Gilardoni, LMT, NCTMB
Great course, actual facts.
Beverly Tucker, LMT
The Laws continue to change every year..it is a good 'requirement' course ...to keep us sharp in the field. There is a lot of information here, I have to read it very slowly to ingest it all. Our field of massage therapy has grown immensely over the last twenty years.
Janet Drury, LMT, NCTMB
The class seemed pretty straight forward in what we need to know for Florida Laws. Material easy to follow,
Bonnie Gill, LMT, NCTMB
Great course...covered Florida law very well.
Mike Lubovich, LMT, NCTMB
Once again a well presented treatment of required information.
Timothy Gosney, LMT
Very good info.
Jennifer Eady
Good course to go back + look to back up any questions I would have on laws.
JoAnn Mongan, LMT
This is always interesting and is always refreshing to review. The information is detailed, specific, and thought provoking. I took my time with the course in order to process the intricate legal details.
Janet Drury, LMT
Excellent concise course tests and materials.
Daniel Weisner, LMT, NCTMB
Important to keep up with the laws as they continue to change the rules!! Good course.
Kathleen Jansen, LMT, NCTMB
Great information and always a pleasure dealing with your organization!
Susan Fasold, LMT
Very pleased with the layout of the material. I will be a return customer when 2017 renewal approaches!!!
Elizabeth Ricard, LMT
Thanks again for making these required courses so great!
Sandra Wood, NCTMB
This is the most difficult content for me to remember each renewal term since I am not great at legal jargon and remembering statutes. I find it extremely helpful to review the laws and policies every two years. Thank you so much for making this course easy to use to refresh my memory and help me stay on target with policies and statutes necessary for my practice.

The author of One Hundred Years of Solitude, the sculptor and painter Fernando Botero and five other Colombian writers have sent letters of protest to Spain's prime minister, Jose Maria Aznar.
Garcia Marquez, who lived in Barcelona in the 1960s and is a constant visitor, said that Colombians grew up thinking of Spain as the "madre patria", or mother country, even though Colombia won independence from Spain in 1820.
The visa restrictions, to be introduced in April, were approved by EU interior ministers in Brussels on Thursday.
Nearly a million of Colombia's 40 million population are estimated to have left the country in the past year, mainly because of poverty, guerrilla warfare and the violence of the cocaine cartels.
