Notre Dame Latest to Pass Oregon in BCS Standings
Now Notre Dame is an ahead of Oregon in the BCS standings. The Fighting Irish became the latest team to move past Oregon on Sunday, taking third place behind Alabama and Kansas State. The Ducks remained fourth.
Florida fell out of the top five with a 17-9 loss to Georgia, helping to set the field in the race for the BCS title game with a month to go in the regular season.
Alabama is locked in at No. 1, and if the Crimson Tide keep winning it will play for its third championship in four years. The Wildcats (.9400), Fighting Irish (.9147) and Ducks (.9136) need to remain unbeaten, and keep an eye on each other.
The computers ratings are still holding the Ducks back because their strength of schedule lags behind the other contenders.

I will make sure my students have fun and help them get in the right track to their musical goals.
Also, I constantly upload videos on Singing, The Spanish Language, and Japanese! So keep Checking in! It ranges on tips and answering the most common questions on those particular subjects!
Also There are discounted rates for worship teams and church choirs. For more information please contact me through the "Ask a Question feature"
*** Lesson Details ***
I do my absolute best to create a positive atmosphere for my students. Even when the students feel frustrated or stressed, it is important to inspire them and give them the fuel that they need. Though I am strict when it comes to homework and their about their studies. Every lesson at the beginning I will review what we learned previously and test them.
then begin with proper breathing technique exercises, the cornerstone of all vocals. We move on to vocal exercises to condition the voice. Then we work on the songs that you are eager to sing!
I will use a piano when doing vocal warm ups and conditioning exercises. Students that play other instruments and accompany themselves when performing (such as a guitar) are encouraged to bring that instrument to their lessons. My goal is for them to gain the knowledge that they need to help reach their artistic goals.
With all my lessons every student will be taught a basic run down of Music Theory. My students will always progress in what they do. They will have the discipline that they need and yet have fun and be filled with inspiration. Which is the most important thing, to be Inspired to do better.
*** Studio Equipment ***
iMac, condensing mic...performing mic, keyboard, mixer...living room of apartment.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I do have a portable keyboard. Though I do expect the student to have their own recording device and karaoke tracks. At Home I do have a studio, and if the students has an iPod or an Mp3 player I can attach it to a device where all of us can hear the tracks. I do have a recording studio as well.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in Musical Theatre, and Pop rock genres. When I teach my students I always have them learn a song of another language whether it's Spanish or Japanese. It helps with diction when they learn a song outside the English Language. Also, It helps them to learn another Language at the same time. Also, I give them a little anatomy class when they are learning how to sing. I give them a model of the Vocal Cords and different areas of the Larynx and which part works for the chest voice and the head voice.

About Clifford
-Skill Level
-Schedule request.
'Dr. Cliff,' a part-time college/university professor, teacher and tutor with 5 master's and 3 doctoral degrees in a variety of topics: Mathematics, Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, Management Information Systems, MBA, Leadership, Education and Administration. He has always used proven educational techniques to instruct undergraduate students, graduate students and school children/teenagers (K-12). In addition, Dr. Cliff is a Certified Tutor by American Tutoring Association and National Tutoring Association (Math); he holds California Teaching Credentials in Math (CSET I,II,III), Busin
Dr. Cliff believes that, although many professors and teachers do an admirable job in the classroom, many students and children do not learn well in traditional institutions. Many students and children don't respond to the assembly line nature of most institutions. He believes that a student's or child's strengths and natural abilities need to be the foundation of learning. Dr. Cliff often warns against a "cookie cutter" approach to educating students, teenagers and children. You or your child is seen as an individual, and natural strengths are identified and built upon. Therefore, individual one-on-one tutoring or help is the key approach to each student who has any challenges difficulties in a given subject.
In today's environment and economic challenges, with shorter budgets for the education, larger classes sizes and pressure of performing well in all kind of standard tests, I often see many students lacking true knowledge and skills in a given subject, since they cannot get individualized attention during the class session. That's where a tutor comes into the picture, not only uncover major "holes" in students' knowledge set but also teach students how to study, how to learn and through proper guidance "fill" those knowledge and skills holes.

About Alexandra A.Close
Teaching ESL for several years now I've learned (as a teacher) that learning another language should not be boring but it does take time and daily practice. So, I like to focus on the student's specific needs and interests not to everyone! {:
About Alexandra
I've been teaching English and ESL since 2000 and taught all ages from kids to adults. Two incredible experiences were teaching in Eritrea, E. Africa and Guatemala, C. America. Not only do I enjoy making grammar and conversation accessible to all students, but my goal is to help students to become fluent and obtain the skills to have both professional and social conversations.
Most importantly, I love teaching and helping students get on their own path of "the love of learning"!

About Artem K.Close
As an ESL student myself, I understand the struggles that English language can provide. That is why I try to help all of my ESL friends to improve their english, as I was once helped. I love languages because learning and mustering a new languages opens a new world of possibilities and broadens one's horizons.
About Artem
I am passionate about teaching because I believe education and willingness to learn is an extremely important factor for personal development and success.
I was born and raised in Saint Petersburg, Russia and underwent intensive training in voice, violin, composition and piano. After winning the Frieburg Intenational Violin Competition in 2010, I was offered a full scholarship to study music at Dalhousie University at the age of sixteen. After moving to Canada I went through a 9-month intensive english learning program, so I know first hand how difficult it can be to learn a new language. This experience helped me understand the struggles that any ESL student goes through and discover new way
I am excited to get to know you and share my knowledge with you!

UNLV barely escaped with a 76-75 win over Cal on Sunday, with Anthony Bennett going off for 25 points and 13 rebounds. Unfortunately, the Runnin' Rebels may have lost a major piece as Mike Moser went down with what was later determined to be a dislocated elbow. While it appears that Moser could come back in as little as 3 weeks, the likely scenario is more than a month, possibly even as late as February.
Porter's Career-High 22 Points lead No. 15 Georgetown Past Longwood, 89-53
Big things were expected from Otto Porter this season and since he returned from a head injury sustained in Georgetown's first game, it seems that he is living up to expectations. After getting a career high 22 points and 7 assists last night against Longwood, Porter is showing a definite improvement in his overall game. His jumpshot appears to be much more fluid and he is taking care of the ball at a high rate considering his use in the offense.


text:
I have gone for the latter, as it seems to work quite well – the idea came to me during the recent Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill which included debates on the use of animal-human hybrid embryos, Saviour Siblings, and lowering the time limit for abortions. DrAUST has written a comprehensive and sensible blog post on this issue, so no need to duplicate it all here.
What I wanted to blog was a brief summary of some of the tactics used to cloud debate, how to spot them and more importantly, how to deal with them.
(Incidentally, I should point out that there are undoubtedly more than 5, and indeed they may or may not begin with A, but the ones below are the main ones and will hopefully prove useful)
1. Argument from Authority
A real favourite for the Complementary and Alternative 'medicine' people. You can read the full silly story of lame homeopathic warrior Dana Ullman, insisting that Charles Darwin was an advocate of homeopathy.
Even if he was (he wasn't) he'd have been wrong - it would add no value at all to the argument. Famous people are not infallible; because they were very clever about one area doesn't mean they are knowledgeable about all.
2. Argument from Anecdote
"My sister often suffered from…… but since……"
Again, a classic (s)CAM argument – religious 'miracles' are also perpetuated this way.
This gives no idea as to confounding factors, people's selective memories, story telling mistakes, mis-interpreted results etc etc. Humans are terribly prone to bias, which is why the gold standard for clinical trials is a randomised,double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-centre trial. Also, from a statistical point of view, it may be pure chance, unless you have a handle on the numbers of people in the same position (the 'n' number). Derren Brown's The System shown on Channel 4 in Feb 2008 is an excellent demonstration - a good overview is here.
3. Argument by Appeal to Emotion
I had a different example for this but MP Edward Leigh's emotive nonsense in the Human Fertilisation and Embryology bill debate discussing human-animal hybrid embryos, takes some beating
If an embryo could talk, perhaps they would echo what Mary Shelley wrote in "Frankenstein":
"I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on."
OK. The embryo can't talk. End of argument. This is pure appeal to emotion, carries no weight of evidence and in my view, demonstrates Mr Leigh's poor debating technique.
If my coffee cup could talk perhaps it would say "I, the miserable stained cup made to endure boiling water……". Nonsense.
4. Argument from the Alternative
This is trying to give weight to an argument by attempting to show that the alternative is not preferable. It may be a relevant point, but it doesn't provide any evidence for what is being argued for. The textbook (and frequently trotted out) example of this is:
"There must be a God, otherwise there would be no point to life" – answer – why must there be a point to life, apart from you feel there should be one?
Regardless of the argument in point, arguing that the alternative is preferable is not evidence for the opposite. (For another example see Anonymous comment on the blog post regarding double-blind, placebo controlled trials – not only argument for the alternative, but argument from …em…. being wrong.
5. Argument by Ad hominem
Ad hominem is latin for 'to the man', but its meaning in debating circles is to use (irrelevant and often untrue) character slight as a means of winning an debate. Again, the homeopaths especially like to use this one - if you take them to task about the lack of evidence that exists for their quackery, you will often be portrayed as a 'big Pharma shill' with no independent thought. Again, even if it is true (it isn't) it doesn't change the fact that homeopathy (and other CAM techniques) are quackery and have no solid evidence of efficacy. The person making the statement of fact has no bearing on the veracity of the fact.
So there you have it. The Five A's of Empty Argument – now, where is my book deal and whirlwind world tour?
(Post more below, but please try and make them begin with A or else we won't get anywhere :)
ETA - There is a prize of an internet to anyone who can find all five being used in the same place (sCAM fora, blog posts, etc).
Obviously this blog doesn't count.....
EDIT (18/06/08): Thanks to Nash for giving the 6th 'A' - Argument from Antiquity. Many CAM-type rationales (and religious reasonings) come from the thought that "it has been done for hundreds/thousands of years". It well have a long history, but it may also have been wrong as well.
EDIT (03/07/08): Seven seems a much better number that 6 or even 5, and so, thanks to Deano over at BadScience for adding "Argument by Analogy" to the list. Something along the lines of
"When steam builds up in a steam engine, it needs to be let out.
Emotions build in people just like steam builds up in steam engines.
Therefore, emotions need to be let out."
Keep them coming!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Crude futures finished higher Wednesday, but below the day's best level, after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced a new bond-buying program and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries left its production ceiling unchanged.
The market also weighed data from early Wednesday showing an unexpected climb in U.S. crude supplies.
Oil for January delivery CLF23, -50.81% rose 98 cents, or 1.1%, to settle at $86.77 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after touching a high at $87.68. Prices traded at around $86.79 before the Fed announcement, topped $87 after and then slipped back as Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke began speaking at a news conference just ahead of the Nymex close.
"Oil rallied along with the equities after the Fed's initial rate announcement," on the idea that more central-bank liquidity equals more money to throw at the markets, said Jason Rotman, president of Lido Isle Advisors in Newport Beach, Calif. "We think the rally was just a knee-jerk reaction, and that oil is still in a fundamentally bearish environment."
On Tuesday, the front-month contract snapped a five-session losing streak to end 23 cents higher.
Oil prices gained Wednesday as the dollar weakened in the wake of the Fed's decision to launch the bond-buying program to keep the recovery going in the jobs market. The central bank also set thresholds on unemployment and inflation. See: Fed sets jobless, inflation targets, to buy bonds.
The Fed move "has to be seen as bearish for the dollar and somewhat neutral for oil," said Elliott Orsillo, co-founder and portfolio manager at Season Investments LLC.
"In general, dollar weakness is good for all things priced in dollars like oil," he added. "On the flip side, the fact that the Fed needs to continue easing indicates that demand is sluggish. Sluggish demand combined with new oil supplies coming online are bearish for oil, which is why today's announcement is somewhat neutral."
Following the news, the dollar lost more ground, which made dollar-denominated commodities more attractive to other currency holders. The ICE dollar index DXY, -0.40% dropped to 79.824, above the day's low of 79.711, but down from 80.061 late in North America trade on Tuesday. Read more on currencies.
Wednesday's climb in oil prices also came after OPEC decided to leave its oil-production ceiling at 30 million barrels a day, as was widely expected.
"The biggest challenge facing global oil markets in 2013 is uncertainty surrounding the global economy, with the fragility of the euro zone remaining a major concern," OPEC said in a statement. "Although world oil demand is forecast to increase slightly during the year 2013, this is likely to be more than offset by the projected increase in non-OPEC supply," so projected demand for OPEC crude in 2013 is expected to contract to 29.7 million barrels per day.
In addition, the group decided to extend the tenure of Secretary-General Abdalla Salem el-Badri of Libya for one year. El-Badri had been due to retire next year. See: OPEC production ceiling left at 30 mb/d: delegates and OPEC members have t heir work cut out for them.
OPEC's recent monthly oil report showed that production from the group's members declined to 30.78 million barrels a day in November, down from 30.99 million barrels in October. The report also showed that output from Saudi Arabia in November dropped to the lowest level in a year. See OPEC's monthly oil report.
Supply and demand
Oil traders also looked to the latest reports on U.S. supplies, as well as a monthly report from the Paris-based International Energy Agency.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported a modest unexpected rise in crude supplies and a bigger-than-expected increase in stocks of gasoline for the week ended Dec. 7.
Crude supplies climbed by 800,000 barrels. Analysts polled by Platts expected the data to show a 2.5 million-barrel decline in weekly crude supplies.
Gasoline inventories rose 5 million barrels, while distillate stocks, which include heating oil, added 3 million. Analysts were looking for a rise of 2.5 million in gasoline inventories and a climb of 1.25 million in distillate supplies.
January gasoline RBF23, +0.00% rose 4 cents, or 1.4%, to $2.65 per gallon and heating oil for the same month HOF23, +0.00% added 4 cents, or 1.4%, to $2.97 per gallon, with both futures contracts pulling back from their intraday highs.
Ghana and Uganda offer promise for brave investor
Political stability, the rise of mobile technology, oil discoveries and a growing middle class are piquing the interest of investors. But risks remain.
• 3 Uganda sectors set to benefit from oil boom
• SAB Miller looks to grow in Ghana, Uganda
• 10 to follow if you want to invest in Africa
• Six lessons from Ghana's 2012 elections
• The New Tigers: Europe | Latin America | Asia
"It seems hard to believe that any strength in the [oil] market won't be sold into after the weak fundamentals we witnessed" Wednesday morning," said John Macaluso, research analyst at Tyche Capital Advisors.
Data released late Tuesday by the American Petroleum Institute showed that crude-oil supplies rose by 4.3 million barrels last week. See more on API: Oil, gasoline supplies up last week.
Meanwhile, the IEA slightly raised its forecast for oil demand for 2013, but said the tepid rate of global economic expansion would keep demand relatively sluggish. See: IEA sees sluggish world oil demand growth in 2013.
"Global supplies continue to outpace ailing demand, a consequence of the weak economic backdrop, although signs of stronger demand have emerged" in the fourth quarter of 2012, said Matthew Parry, senior oil-market analyst at the IEA wrote in an email. "Most notably, Chinese demand seems to be recovering — with 10 [million barrels per day] likely to be passed for the first time ever in November."
Elsewhere in the energy complex, natural gas for delivery in January US:NGF13 slipped by 3 cents, or 0.9%, to end at $3.38 per million British thermal units.
The EIA will issue its update on natural-gas supplies Thursday. Analysts surveyed by Platts expect a weekly decline of between 1 billion cubic feet and 5 bcf.

The handles are cleverly designed to let the strongest arm muscles do the work, while keeping the joints in natural positions. The 1-3/8" diameter handles are also thicker than most, making them easier to grip – especially for those with arthritic hands or little hand strength. The blades and tines are made from a strong aluminum-magnesium alloy, and all come with a lifetime warranty.
Most of the tool heads are based on familiar designs – with the exception of the soil scoop, which has a broad, flat blade that holds a large volume of soil, making it ideal for transferring soil quickly from bags. The low-profile design and sloped walls help reduce spills, and the serrated edges are convenient for cutting open bags of soil or mulch.
All tool handles are about 6" long. The tools are available individually, as a set of three (two sizes of trowel and a cultivator), and as a set of all five. Sizes stated below refer to head length by width.

ROSWELL, N.M., Oct. 14 (UPI) -- Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner broke the sound barrier Sunday in a world record-shattering jump from a balloon floating 24 miles above the Earth.
Baumgartner lifted off from Roswell, N.M., at 9:31 a.m. MDT in a capsule attached to a 55-story helium-filled balloon. He ascended high above the New Mexico desert before jumping out. Video from a live feed showed his parachute opened and he floated safely to the ground.
The dangerous free fall was originally scheduled for last Tuesday, but high winds twisted his balloon -- made from a material 1-10th the thickness of a sandwich bag -- and ruined it, CNN said.
Starting from the edge of space, Baumgartner, 43, became the first human to break the sound barrier -- reaching a top speed of 833 mph, or Mach 1.24 -- and also set records for the highest exit from a platform at 128,000 feet and the highest free-fall without a drogue parachute, which was measured at 119,846 feet, ABC News reported.
"It is hard to describe [breaking the speed of sound] because I didn't feel it," Baumgartner said after the jump. "When you're in a dead pressure suit [and without reference points] you don't feel anything."
Baumgartner accomplished his feat despite his visor fogging up, feeling considerable pressure on his head and going into a spin.
"It's hard to tell what happened because I have to look at the video footage. ... Somehow I started spinning ... . It felt like a flat spin," he said.
One record he didn't break was for the length of his free fall. His time of 4 minutes, 20 seconds fell short of the 4 minutes, 36 seconds logged 52 years ago by U.S. Air Force officer Joe Kittinger.
"Better champions cannot be found. ... He did a fantastic job today," Kittinger said. "[And] I'd like to give a special one finger salute to all the folks who said he was going to come apart when he went supersonic."
Coincidentally, Baumgartner made his free fall on the 65th anniversary of legendary pilot Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier in a jet.
Baumgartner said he wants to "inspire the next generation."
"I would love if there was a young guy sitting next to me asking what my advice is, wanting to break my record," he said.

Hit Squad Takes Out Richmond
Last night, at the Return of the Hit Squad show in Richmond, it was like hip hop never died. The boom-bap the echoed in the cavernous hall of the former department store now known as the Showplace apparently can raise the dead, just look at this blog today. The emcees that make of the hip-hop collective that left its imprint on hip hop charts in the 1990s all made it to the show, overcoming delayed flights, thunderstorms, snarled traffic caused by a presidential visit and a last minute change in venue. Even the Knuckleheadz, a group whose chance at success was derailed by the squad's violent and unfortunate break-up in 1992, were present, opening squad's set with a spirited and confident presentation.
EPMD, followed, which surprised some of the crowd, who didn't expect to see the headliners so soon. Back in the day, a change in the anticipated line up usually means somebody didn't show up. But they were joined by K-Solo for their second song,"Knick Knack Patty Wack," which was anything but. The rapper has been MIA from the rap scene for years and was probably the performer most people were curious to see. K-Solo yielded the stage to Keith Murray, who had more luck stage diving in Richmond than he did back in 1994, when hit the floor at the Flood Zone. Murray stage persona is barely-managed chaos, yet he never seemed to run out of breath or energy.
Das Efx followed, and the former Virginia State University students haven't lost a step, even if one of them has ditched his locks. The rest of the night continued this way, with members of squad performing a couple of songs, walking off and coming back a few moments later. It was an ingenious way to maintain the energy level of a concert featuring aging b-boys who can still get down, just for not as long.
"This is the Hit Squad," Erick Sermon repeated for the young fans in the audience. "He is a DJ," he said pointing to rap veteran DJ Scratch. "I'm not with the fast boom-bap," the rapper said in brief speech about the current state of hip-hop that reminded the audience of his last name. "And I'm not a hater either, 'cause I got money. But that shit is ignorant!"

Next week is Thanksgiving in the U.S. and many educators are looking for resources and activities to engage students.
We wanted to share a few great Thanksgiving activities and resources we found in the Edmodo Communities:
- Lisa Siegfried, 7th & 8th Grade Language Arts teacher, shared the following activity:
"We do a Thanksgiving project where students write down three negative things in their lives that they are thankful for, and then turn them into positives. (I am thankful for a messy house. Because that means I have a family at home.) They then write each sentence on a smallish poster, and then drop them on the floor one by one. (They will each have 6 to drop.) We do this with the entire 8th grade, and the last day before break, I play a playlist of appropriate music while they walk across the gym to the middle to drop their posters on the floor. I do mine first. When the last student is finished, I take a mic and tell the audience that the papers on the floor represent all the many burdens that we think we have that are actually blessings. It is a really neat program."
- Amanda Henry, Middle School teacher at Warm Springs Middle School has shared her Edmodo folder full of Thanksgiving resources.
- Elizabeth Mangione, a teacher at Our Lady of Victory, has shared an interesting activity from the New York Times Learning blog entitled What really happened? Comparing stories of the first day of Thanksgiving.
- Lastly, here's a great thread from the Language Arts Community with additional ideas.
If you have any you'd like to share, visit one of the Edmodo Communities and post yours!

I had my 6th graders create a Cinquain in Pages. They then went to Voki.com and created an avatar to read that poem. My theme was Thankful For or Thanksgiving. They posted the URL onto their pages doc. Next week we will got to G Docs and upload it.
This week we are sharing an activity from "Maggie's Treasure Trove" titled, "Wild About Turkeys" available at the primary and intermediate levels. Students will read an article about wild turkeys. They will use the facts in the article to solve a puzzle about turkeys. Ideas for making turkey bulletin boards are detailed in the Dear Colleague letter
My 6th graders made paper bag turkeys and then determined what the ratio of the body was to the head. Finally, we had a beauty contest. The boys wanted to include a talent contest (ie. sending them soaring). I nixed that idea.
My 7th graders are writing notes to their family about what they are thankful for…notes shaped like feathers and attaching to a turkey body.
I linked weekly sales flyers from 3 local grocery stores to an edmodo post, and I am having my third grade students plan a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people. They will find the estimated cost and hopefully be able to see which store had the best deals! In addition, I hope they will appreciate the cost of such a feast and not take it for granted.
I teach French. We make "Verb Turkeys" — like a "hand turkey" but with 6 feathers. Students draw a verb from a bag, write it at the bottom of the page…..then conjugate it, one form on each feather. Then, they decorate the turkey (without obscuring the conjugated verb forms) to show what the verb MEANS: example: jouer au base-ball, the turkey is wearing a baseball cap and has a bat and ball.
We post these in the hall, and they are much admired.
A good review of all the verb conjugations, in whatever tense you want to review.
The link to the NYTimes page under the Elizabeth Mangione post does not work. Can anyone help?
Good catch! I just fixed the link. Thanks for letting us know.
I teach K-5 Computer Applications. My second grade students love to write! This year we made acrostic poems using the word "Thankful". They really enjoyed it. I use acrostic poems often.
My students watched a video in the target language that explain how Thanksgiving came about. Then I transition them to a worksheet of a turkey. On the chest of the turkey they had to write what they were grateful for.
Estoy agradecido (a) por…then on the side of the turkey they had to complete the sentence ej: Estoy agradecido por tener una familia grande y llena de alegria. Then on the feathers: write one word for all they are grateful for.
ej: la salud, familia, la educacion etc. Then they colored it and I displayed them in the classroom.
My students are using Edmodo to interact with each other while on Thanksgiving break, and they are also playing apps that I purchased from the Edmodo app store. It's really nice to see the level of interaction that takes place online while they are away from school.
I found on twitter a link to an awesome Thanksgiving Day Parade activity for students. I did not try it this year, but will look into it for the next year. http://www.yummymath.com/2012/macys-thanksgiving-day-parade/
My third graders engaged in a novel study of Thanksgiving on Thursday. We used Brainpop to view a video on Pilgrims and toured the Mayflower via Scholastic.com.

If a major flood occurred in Taylorsville, where would everyone go? And how would they get there?
Those are questions that local officials want to get answers for soon after the idea for a comprehensive evacuation plan was discussed at the Jan. 5 Taylorsville City Commission meeting.
"I don't feel like, and Gary, I know you don't feel like we have an adequate evacuation plan for the city," Mayor Don Pay said to Floodwall Commissioner Gary Kehne at one point in the meeting.

Clearwire Learned of Sprint-Softbank Talks Via Media
Three days before word leaked that Sprint and Softbank were in discussions about a major tie up, Sprint's CEO Dan Hesse visited Clearwire's Chairman John Stanton.
According to a Clearwire filing, Hesse was there to tell Stanton that Sprint was considering buying Clearwire, or at least taking a larger position through purchasing the stakes of other holders. "Mr. Hesse also stressed the urgency of such a transaction," the filing said, but didn't mention any talks with the Japanese internet and telecommunications company.
When word broke of the Sprint-Softbank talks on Oct. 11, it was the first Clearwire had heard of the matter, the filing says.
The reports and Sprint's subsequent confirmation sent Stanton into action.
Stanton called Hesse first, the filing said. Hesse told Stanton that Sprint was looking to buy Clearwire stakes from other holders. Hesse again said Sprint was also interested in buying the rest of the company "but had never had the financial resources necessary for such a transaction." The Softbank deal would provide Sprint those funds, Hesse said, but "the acquisition would be subject to SoftBank's consent."
Then Stanton called Charlie Ergen, the chairman of Dish Network which had been in discussions with Clearwire, the filing said. Stanton "asked Mr. Ergen to consider with a sense of urgency a potential transaction between DISH and the Company."

Little Jimmy had become a real nuisance while the men tried to concentrate on their Saturday afternoon poker game. His father tried in every way he could to get Jimmy to occupy himself, but the youngster insisted on running back and forth behind the players and calling out the cards they held. The players became so annoyed that they threatened to quit the game. At this point, the boy's uncle stood up, took Jimmy by the hand, and led him out of the room.
The uncle returned in a short time without Jimmy and without comment, and the game resumed. For the balance of the afternoon, there was no trouble from Jimmy. After the game ended and the players were settling their wins and losses, one of the men asked Jimmy's uncle, "What in the world did you do to Jimmy?"
"Not much," the boy's uncle replied. "I told him how to jerk off."

LEGO Introduces Lego Friends Sets For Girls
Lego to Introduce Girl-Friendly Lego Friends Sets in the New Year
Lego to Introduce Girl-Friendly Lego Friends Sets in the New Year
Think the LeapPad and Air Swimmers were the most anticipated toys of 2011? Think again! On Jan. 1 (or Dec. 26 in the UK) Lego is introducing Lego Friends — its first significant entry into the world of girls play, with a $40 million global marketing plan to support 23 different products — including six new colors (think pastels) and 29 minidolls that look more lifelike than the current minifigs.
After years of anthropological studies, Lego learned the differences in how boys and girls play. Among their findings are:
- "Whereas boys tend to be 'linear' — building rapidly, even against the clock, to finish a kit so it looks just like what's on the box—girls prefer 'stops along the way' and to begin storytelling and rearranging."
- "The key difference between girls and the ladyfig and boys and the minifig was that many more girls projected themselves onto the ladyfig — she became an avatar. Boys tend to play with minifigs in the third person."
- "The greatest concern for girls really was beauty." Girls want their toys to demonstrate beauty, just as boys wanted theirs to demonstrate mastery.
The result is a line of toys that includes five main characters, each with a backstory and a "set" that she can play in, including a salon, a horse academy, and a veterinary clinic. Major retailers plan to give the new sets plenty of shelf space after the holidays, so expect to see the pastel colors everywhere.
Do you think the new Lego Friends will attract more girls to build and play? Click through the images that follow for a sneak peek at the sets and share your thoughts in the comments below!

Penguins D Kris Letang set for return after stroke
PITTSBURGH — Less than three months after a stroke put his season in jeopardy, Kris Letang will go back to work for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The defenseman makes his return on Wednesday night when the Penguins host the Detroit Red Wings. The 26-year-old hasn't played since Jan. 27. Two days later, he suffered a stroke after feeling dizzy and nauseous.
Letang was cleared by doctors several weeks ago and convinced general manager Ray Shero he was OK during a series of conversations while traveling with the team on a road trip last week.
"I'm happy, obviously," Letang said Wednesday after practice. "I think it was a decision between me and him. It's a relief and I'm really happy to have a chance to play."
Though doctors have not pinpointed the cause of the stroke, a small hole in Letang's heart may have been a factor. Letang's been taken off blood-thinner medication, but his condition will be monitored.
Letang and Shero are convinced the 2013 Norris Trophy finalist is not putting himself at greater risk by playing.
"To return to play hockey, he's at no further risk to suffer a stroke than he would be going to the grocery store," Shero said.
Shero joked that Letang has "been bugging me for awhile" about a possible comeback. While Letang has been practicing since March 17, he expects to be "nervous" when he pulls on his No. 56 sweater. Then again, it's a moment he's been anticipating since he received the stunning diagnosis.
"My first reaction was `When am I going to skate again? When am I going to play again?'" Letang said. "It has always been in the back of my mind that I want to come back."
Letang has 10 goals and eight assists in 34 games for the Penguins, who have already wrapped up the Metropolitan Division title.
"We're happy to see him back," Pittsburgh center Sidney Crosby said. "It's been a long process for him and probably not an easy one."
Letang is the latest high-profile player to return from injury as Pittsburgh gears up for the postseason. Defenseman Paul Martin came back last week after injuring his hand while playing for Team USA in the Sochi Olympics and center Evgeni Malkin's foot injury is expected to be healed by the start of the playoffs.
"We do know that a healthy Kris Letang makes us better," Shero said.
Letang promised to keep things "simple" while he gets back up to speed. The last two months have been difficult, but he has no concerns about pressing forward as the Penguins search for their first Stanley Cup since 2009.
"I feel 100 percent," he said.

Art Opening Tonight: 'Shadow Aspect' at DEMO Project
An opening reception for "Shadow Aspect," a new installation by Brooklyn-based multi-media artist Kathleen Scott, is happening at DEMO Project this evening from 6PM-9PM.
True to its title, the exhibit features shadows cast from cut paper, promising to "use a variety of rotating light sources so the shadows will slowly travel about the room, interacting with one another while also becoming increasingly distorted," according to a statement by Scott. "I am striving to create a space that not only has the eeriness of a forest at night, but also the comfort of a nursery."

Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a villain with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek.
This show will have you clapping your hands, dancing in your seat, and will probably bring you to your feet. Shrek the Musical is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for the whole family! This is a production you do not want to miss.
Cast includes: Alexis Ghioni, Dave Ghioni, Paige Trottier of Bellingham, Carissa Barry Moilanen, Nicole Newton, Lindsey Slayton of Medway, Emily Dufour, Jake Fleming, Stephanie Grinley, Mikaela Robillard, Samantha Robillard, Noah Smith, Rosalyn Smith, Braiden Strok, Troy Wheeler of Franklin, Avery Markle of Blackstone, Ciara Boyle of Upton, Kate Hollis of Hopedale, Rachel Abbate, Maggie Pickard of Norfolk, Stephanie Urko of Wrentham, Sam Forgie of Uxbridge, Kelley Dunn of Hopkinton, Colleen Locke of Ashland, Jim Kopycinski of Sudbury, Liz Jaques of North Attleboro, Anthony Bollino, Colleen Moody of Mansfield, Chris Chagnon of Westborough, Heather Bodnar of Swansea, Kevin Flynn of Hampden, Sarah Dube of Cumberland, RI, Gian DiCostanzo, James Schmidt of North Smithfield, RI, Andrew Baines, Drew Lagace, Gregory Silver of Providence, RI, and Maria Norris of NYC.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and 10.10 were fine on this hardware, sadly Ubuntu 11.04 has resulted in the network being non-functional. lspci no longer shows present network/ethernet hardware and even BIOS 'boot from LAN' does not result in link lights being active.
Tried updating BIOS from 1.01 to V3.15 (Release Date:06/07/2011) to fix this, this has not helped with the network situation.
I believe the atheros(sp?) LAN hardware is a known low quality piece of hardware which has had problems with linux before. Going back to an older kernel via grub menu seemed to make the network ok for a little while but it got clobbered again after a couple suspend/resume cycles.

- Modern insurgency warfare presents fresh challenges for the United States, which must re-conceptualize its approach to fighting such conflicts. Because the dominant characteristics of insurgency--protractedness and ambiguity--effectively stymie the American military's approach to war, the United States needs to reorient its strategic thinking.

Every New Years' I try to think of what needs changing, what went well, what went wrong. It's a debrief for the year.
A lot changed this year. Not sure of what to resolved yet. My resolutions are not so much a promise of what to do, but a 'regroup', usually fine tuning and redirecting. In the past, it's led to moving to a different city, life changes, and career changes. Mostly not so dramatic.
This year? Too soon to say. Time to start thinking about it.
My biggest challenges are too much work, and trying to do too much. So maybe I'll work on focus. Oh, and the new project is already decided, as I've mentioned elsewhere, beekeeping.
Views: 351
Plus you get to wear the awesome beekeeper outfit!
My wife used to be a beekeeper. She still has the suit, but she actually rarely wore it (bees just love her to death).
As for New Year's Resolutions, I resolved many years ago never to make them.
I do like Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes) version of the Serenity Prayer though: "The strength to change what I can, the inability to accept what I can't, and the incapacity to tell the difference." That would make a good New Year's Resolution.
Last year I resolved to learn to make tamales. It didn 't happen. That will go on this year's list too.
Even though it's not new years yet, I bought the hive and gear yesterday. There is a beekeeping store in Portland. Who would have thought that? I have a couple of beekeeping books I am reading, and reserved a bee colony from another bee store near Portland. So that might actually happen.
The biggest challenge for me is work/life balance. I wish I could resolve something about that, but it's hard to think of something. Having some interesting things to escape to, mentally, is part of trying to make that fo betterl
Melinda, it sounds like you are at a crossroads, but to what? "The year of seeing what I do next" certainly sounds exciting! Keep us posted!
Pat, I'm about to turn eighty two and beat you to that no-more-resolutions resolution by a couple of decades. Saying so still occasionally results in discussions, which I welcome.
I don't wait for the end of the year.
I hereby resolve to try to grow a little patch of corn again this year, and to get the soil sample in on time so that maybe it'll turn out better than last season.
Cool! A man after my own heart!
I'm not a great fan of New Year's resolutions, mostly because I'm supposedly obliged to make them at a time when I may or may not feel moved to resolve anything, then later to take action to fulfill those resolutions when the time is presumably propitious to do so. To this I respond as Vice President Joe Biden did so popularly during his debate with Paul Ryan:
I submit that creating such resolutions artificially is in too many cases creating a self-fulfilling failure, and I see no point in participating in such a counterproductive activity. I act on things needing action as and how I see a need and feel the desire to engage in such action. Doing so when I am sufficiently moved to do so strikes me as being not just infinitely more effective but more HONEST, and that is my personal preference.
I love your beekeeping plan. It's very much needed.
I resolve not to make any resolutions. I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing.
Try to be better at anything I set out to do.
Steph, that's as good a resolution as any!
As others have said, I don't make resolutions. It's counter-productive for me.
Looks like I'm in the minority, by far! :) What else is new? Not trying to "convert" anyone, so each to his own!
I like to take stock of my life now and then. By making it annual, it's a way to do it at leoast once a year. Otherwise it can be forgotten, at least by me. Could be birthday, or Arbor day (a great choice!) or Mother Theresa's confirmation day. For me it's New Years.
It was that process that led me to joint the Army in my crazy youth - for many not a wise decision, but worked wonders for me. And to come out to myself as gay, another year. And to go to grad school, another year. And quit smoking, also in my crazy youth. And move from Indiana to Oregon. And learn to bake pies. And become a bread baker. And move on from the death of my partner in the 80s. And, now that I think of it, to seek an online atheist community.
Not every resolution was good, or kept (like learning to make tamales), but in the long run, I'm happy to use this time to reflect, cogitate, ruminate, pontificate, masticate, and elaborate. Just made those up.
It's also a way to look beyond that holiday-that-shall-remain-nameless, to the future. And think about something other than the darkness, dreary days, chill, long nights.
Regardless of whether others do the same, and honestly each to their own, I hope everyone is doing well this winter and in the year to come. You are all very appreciated. Very glad you are there, and on here.
When I was a kid, my father kept bees for awhile. Only some he got were aggressive bees. It became a common sight to see a kid running across the yard with a bee chasing them, dashing in the glass sliding door and slamming it, while the bee banged outside :)

REAL ESTATE- ON THE BLOCK- Inside story: Chisholm beauty more than skin deep
ADDRESS: 104 Chisholm Place
NEIGHBORHOOD: Woolen Mills
SIZE: 2,553 fin. sq. ft.
LAND: 0.19 acres
CURB APPEAL: 8 out of 10
LISTED BY: Roger Voisinet of ReMax Realty Specialists 974-1500
Over the last year, people around the country were enthralled by a traveling exhibition of preserved human (and animal) bodies and body parts. "Body Worlds" showed people, but not like at Madame Tussaud's. Not only were these folks not dressed, they were skinned, revealing their inner anatomical structures– muscles, tendons, bones– that had been preserved using a technique called plastination.
We felt almost like a Body Worlds visitor when we visited this house on Chisholm Place in the Woolen Mills neighborhood as we've watched, over several months, its development from skeleton to functioning "body."
Of course, the place is noteworthy if for no other reason than that it's the city's first therma-steel structure. There are others in the county. Indeed, the architect on this project, Alan Scouten, lives in one. So although the technology is not unique to the area, it's worth a mention since it's the most distinctive feature– among many– that makes the house unusual.
Therma-steel, to quote from the builder's literature, is "a panelized composite structure of modified polystyrene, bonded to a light-gauge, galvanized steel frame." Since that's like saying "a body is the physical structure of a human being or animal, not including the head, limbs, and tail; trunk; torso," let us hasten to translate: this is a house made of styrofoam panels bonded to thin steel studs.
The result is higher-than-average insulating qualities, noise reduction (imagine living inside a house made of those big white chunks that come packed around computer parts), and strength (therma-steel structures in vulnerable places have been the only ones left standing after tornadoes and hurricanes). The developers maintain that heating and cooling costs in this house will average $74/month.
But enough about the tendons and bones. It's the beautiful complexion, fancy hair-do, and pretty clothes that will lure a house-shopper to Chisholm Place. Design consultant Sally Fretwell was put in charge of the colors for the place, and her "environmentally friendly" paints were used throughout. While we might have hoped for a little more pizzaz in the color choices, we can't quibble about the fact that there are no weird paint smells in the house (no "off-gassing," say the builders), and in fact the finishes are attractive.
And speaking of finishes, the best thing about the skeleton's "clothes" is the floors– blond heart pine both upstairs and down– reclaimed from a sunken ship in the Caribbean. Not only is the wood beautiful, but because of the unusual way energy is circulated through the house, there's no need for insulation between floors. So the ceiling of the first level is the floor of the second. That's definitely something unique in our travels from house to house over the years.
Another appealing element is the layout– the front door opens to the main "great room"– a kitchen/living space combination with large windows (energy-efficient Pellas, of course) with views to the deck and backyard. The kitchen has slate counters, birch cabinets, and a big GE gas stove. To the left is a room of indeterminate use– with a window seat and all appropriate wiring, it can be a den, a dining room, an office or an extra bedroom. A half bath and coat closet complete the downstairs.
Upstairs, three bedrooms are equipped with ample closets, and the two full baths boast futuristic light fixtures from Ikea and floating sinks that somewhat compensate for the dreaded fiberglass showers (although, to be fair, in one the designer did opt for fiberglass molded to look like tiles). Because of the requirements of the therma-steel construction, the ceiling in the front bedroom is higher than the others, providing an interesting element upstairs. That room also has unexpectedly nice views of distant Carter Mountain.
The large, cement-floor "terrace-level" basement is ready for conversion as a family room, a separate living unit (with bath), or an exercise/dance studio. The full deck outside is attractive although without the fun cabling that serves as the "walls" on the 440-sq.-ft. main-level deck.
The house is heated by a gas furnace, although all the workings are in place for solar heating. A buyer interested in the estimated $6,800 conversion will reap an approximately $2,000 tax credit for changing over within the next year or so, and the same applies to solar hot water (with lower cost and credits, of course).
The yard is pedestrian, although big enough for a garden– flower, vegetable or both. Chisholm Place itself is a quirky little development above Onesty Pool at Meade Park, convenient but a little bit private off the beaten track of busy Chesapeake Street.
Having watched this house develop from skeleton to starlet, we appreciate the design and environmental decisions that went into its construction. It's the same respect we had for the human body after visiting the traveling human body exhibit. We don't stop often enough to think about how all the inner parts work together to make finished creations, whether our bodies or our houses, works of art.

Good interview, some good/funny parts here:
What is it about spinners? You seem to just get turned on by them?
I was a middle-order batsman who was too good against spin and hit sixes consistently in Under-19 and Ranji cricket, and I still have the same confidence. Once Gary Kirsten asked me, "What would you do if there is a long-off, long-on and deep midwicket?" I asked, "Gary sir, do fielders matter to me?" He burst out laughing.
Any big hitter, like Yuvraj Singh, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Tendulkar, all can hit a six but they don't want to get out. There is a 1% risk.
Let me give an example: I was batting on 291 at Chepauk, against South Africa. I told Paul Harris, "Come round the wicket and first ball I'll hit you for a six." He accepted my challenge and the very first ball I hit him for a straight six, and there was a long-off, long-on, deep midwicket and a deep point. I was so tired and he was bowling on the pads and I was getting bored. So rather than spending 10-15 minutes to get to the triple-century I gave him good advice.
There is this story about you declining a nightwatchman, where you said you were not an able batsman if you couldn't last 25 balls at the end of the day. Is that true?
It is true. What is the difference between batting at the end of the day or at the start? If you make a mistake you'll get out. So I don't think a batsman really needs a nightwatchman, but it is totally an individual decision. Whenever a captain or coach asked me for a nightwatchman I would say, "No, why? If I can't survive 10 or 20 balls now, then I don't think I'll survive tomorrow morning." I believe that's the best time when you have the opportunity to score runs, when everybody on the field is tired and you can score 20 runs off those 20 balls.
When does the bowler get the upper hand against you?
I can handle swing movement, but when there is seam movement I cannot handle it properly. In New Zealand in 2002 the wickets were really not good for batting and I struggled and scored something like 40 runs in four innings. Nobody did well except for Tendulkar and Dravid. So later I started to spend a lot of time at the wicket. I would cut if it was outside off and flick if it was on my legs. I found out that works on a bad wicket: to stay at the wicket.
John Wright had a simple way with you. In his book he writes, "All I say is, 'How's your mom, hope she is well? And what are you going to do today?'" He [Sehwag] would say, 'Watch the ball, play straight.'
[Actual Answer]
Did Greg Chappell give you any sort of valuable tips?
What about Gary Kirsten?
[Actual Answer]
Sunil Gavaskar and Ian Chappell have always stressed that you are not just about hand-eye coordination. That you can play all those shots because of one important factor: balance.
They are right. It doesn't matter whether you move your feet or not, if your head is still and body is in balance, you can score lots of runs. This I learned from Tendulkar. He pointed out that if your head is still you can see the ball clearly and pick the length quickly. If the head is not still, you will make mistakes. That's why I don't have trigger movements and my body is still and I'm balanced and I have lots of time to play the ball. Why do you want to go towards the ball? Let it come to you, then you can play it. Tendulkar, in one of my first conversations with him about handling quick bowlers, said, "If you're confident about playing a shot, just go ahead and play. Don't hesitate, because then you will make a mistake."
What about being in the zone? Tendulkar said that what people call the zone, he calls the subconscious mind. " All you need to do is look at the ball and play and the body is going to react. The concentration is such that you don't think of anything else." What's your definition of being in the zone?
I have asked him many times what the zone is. He tells me that's when "I see nothing except the ball". I ask how that is possible. I have never felt something like that. I have asked Rahul Dravid the same thing. He says sometimes when he is in really good form, he sees only the ball - and not the sightscreen, the non-striker, the umpire or who is bowling, he just sees only the ball. But I have never entered that zone even if I've scored triple-centuries twice. Maybe I will enter that zone they talk about in future.
Is there one shot of Tendulkar you would like to have?
His cover-drive, but I don't think I can do that probably because of the lack of feet movement.

second firmware update. Version 1.51 can be grabbed through your PC, PS3 or the Vita itself and promises to fix issues with "game progress" -- mentioning launch title Dynasty Warriors: Next in particular. However, gamers have already figured out that playing through the title offline side-steps the software hiccups that this patch hopes to remedy. Early adopters can hit up the system update option to ensure their machines remain in peak condition or hit up the source for the PC link.

Operation Comfort strives to help vets 'reinvent their dreams'
Janis Roznowski has made it her mission to provide comfort to wounded veterans of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
While working as a flight attendant in 2003 on military charters from the United States to Kuwait, some of the first soldiers Roznowski met were from a reserve unit. Most of them had been college students just weeks earlier. Now they were on their way to combat in places such as Baghdad, Ramadi and Fallujah.
"They were so young, and many of them had not been able to get in touch with their families (since deploying), so I started sending messages home for them," said Roznowski, who's 65. "It took me back to the time my brothers went off to war, and came back to an ungrateful nation. I wanted to do something about it."
As casualties from the two wars began to mount, the San Antonio resident knew exactly where to start: at nearby Brooke Army Medical Center, a major recovery and rehabilitation facility for wounded American troops.
Within a year, Roznowski and her husband, Tom, who'd served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, had raised enough money to fix up a waiting room at the hospital. Operation Comfort had been born.
A decade later, the nonprofit group provides a range of support for today's wounded veterans, including automotive repair classes, financial support for cash-strapped families and sports programs for amputees.
Last month, Joshua Sweeney, a former Marine who lost both legs above the knee in Afghanistan, was a gold medalist on the U.S. sled hockey team at the Sochi Winter Paralympics. A former hockey player, Sweeney learned sled hockey through the assistance of Operation Comfort.
"We are generally focused on connecting with men and women just after they're wounded, and letting them know we can help them do anything they want to do," said Roznowski, who retired from American Airlines in 2007 to devote all her time to Operation Comfort. "We want to help them reinvent their dreams."
In many ways, the trajectory of Roznowski's life has come full circle. She did her first volunteer work in San Antonio at the Army hospital in 1970, soon after moving there from her hometown in San Angelo, Texas.
"My roommate and I would go visit the Vietnam veterans," said Roznowski, whose two older brothers had fought in the war. "We'd take them out to dinner or to the movies. We just wanted to do anything we could to help lift their spirits."
Her oldest brother, Jerry Wike, a former Marine, later died at age 54 from liver cancer likely caused by Agent Orange. Exposure to the defoliant has been linked to a range of serious diseases in U.S. veterans and their descendants.
Roznowski said the scorn and neglect that Vietnam veterans faced had made coming home better for today's younger veterans.
"Vietnam veterans are the ones who brought issues like Agent Orange and PTSD to the forefront and have come out en masse to support our returning vets," she said. "They understand what the younger veterans went through and just want to help."
With the recent charity bike ride through Vietnam, younger veterans are giving back to those who welcomed them home.
