Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (409 votes).
In short: 1st Marathon - why pick an easy one?In full: The torrential rain and hail of the previous 24 hours miraculously stopped at the starting gun and we had 4 hours of great running weather. The course is tough and saps you when you need it least, but it's a rewarding run. Great marshalling, friendly crowd and what a fantastic finishing area, ok after the final cruel hill, but it was a really intimate finish area. Finally well done to the 10 in 10s, awesome!Date of review: May 22, 2011
In short: Go on, kill me why don't you!In full: What a great event! Best organised event I've ever been to. Friendly, tough, scenic!If only the last 385 yards were not, ahem, 700, and the clock 8 secs wrong, it would have been perfect.My triumphant sprint for the line was all in vain!... And now I am in tears as I stare, legs throbbing, disbelieving at the cruel results. 2.59.58 has become 3.00.06. They may as well have mown me down with a combine harvester and tossed my broken body into the lake.But who cares, a marathon is meant to be torture!!! It was truly memorable for lots of wonderful reasons. Stewards especially were magic! Thanks.Ps, hills are evil, they must be stopped.Date of review: May 22, 2011
In short: REALLY ENJOYED IT, BACK AGAIN THIS YEARDate of review: May 16, 2011
In short: a must do for marathon runners, very scenicDate of review: February 8, 2011
In short: Hills, Hills and more bloody hills ....... GREAT ! Fantastic race with a personal touchIn full: Love this race, came into it this year (2nd attempt) again 3 weeks after London, my time at Brathay was better than my time at London. The car park was a lot better this year. This is a nice race organised by nice people. ......OMG I am actually considering the 10 in 10 next year, get the gun and shoot me quick (LOL)Date of review: June 6, 2010
In short: My 7th marathon; all the others have been city flats! A wonderful challenge which I really enjoyed although the last 0.2 miles up another slope was a bit mean!Date of review: May 24, 2010
In short: Running this marathon once is an achievement. To run it ten times in ten days deserves the highest level of respect!In full: I merely ran the marathon once and I was a wreck at the end. A number of tough hills but the one at 7 miles was a monster! Before I rate this event, I must mention those hardy individuals that completed this marathon 10 times in 10 consecutive days concluding on the main mass-participant event. The organisers made sure that us mere mortals could cheer the 10 in 10s off as they started off an hour before the mass start - if witnessing sure a scene doesn't fire you up then nothing will. Anyway, I will never run the 10 in 10 and if I ever get talked into it then shoot me!Windermere is an area of outstanding beauty, and the marathon is a good way to experience the scenery if you don't mind hills and the challenge of running 26.2 miles. I seem to always suffer on this course, and the conclusion that I've come up with is that the profile is constantly undulating, and it will give your legs a thorough workout. You will suffer if your training hasn't included sufficient hillwork.Despite the remote location, the event has a big feel with a good-sized field. Event location had good facilties, plenty of marshals and sufficent drinks stations - I never noticed the Kendal cake at the drinks stations but was was pretty shattered! Parking was well marshaled which was necessary as most participants had to drive due to the remote location.Great day, Well Done to the 10 in 10s, and thanks to the organisers Date of review: May 23, 2010
In short: Hard, but secenic and well organisedDate of review: May 23, 2010
In short: A beautiful place for a run and a great area to relax at the finishDate of review: May 22, 2010
In short: Lovely dayIn full: My first ever marathon and I'll definitely be back. Superbly organised, beautiful course, wonderful support from the marshalls and a very friendly group to run with. My only gripe was that I would love to see i-pods banned at this race - having watched more than one oblivious runner drift out in front of cars, it is a dangerous way to run and very anti-social.Date of review: May 22, 2010

Democrats' strategy of division
To the editor:
Like many Americans, I have spent a good part of the past five years upset and confused about what is happening to our country. President Obama, who promised to be the Great Unifier, has been anything but. His days in office have been marked by almost continuous division, turmoil, and strife.
The president, along with the rest of his party and the left-leaning media, has been taking us on a never-ending merry-go-round ride of divisive issues. One day he's dividing us on immigration; the next, the "war on women." The next week it's gay marriage. And when those issues get played out, it's on to setting the races against one another or demonizing the rich. And then it's something else. We'd all like to stop the ride and get off, but they won't let us.
Why is that? Why do they keep going with one divisive issue after another, non-stop?
Have you ever considered the possibility that they are doing it purposely, that it is all part of reaching a predefined goal?
Today's Democrats are Statists. Their goal is to make the federal government bigger and more powerful, while simultaneously reducing the rights and liberty of individual citizens. Their objective is to introduce wide-sweeping changes to our government and our way of life.
But big changes don't usually happen very quickly. It can take decades or even centuries for basic changes to take hold in a society.
The president and his party would like to speed things up. But how? The answer is division and turmoil. If the majority of the people are left to live their lives in peace and quiet, relatively few people will look favorably upon change. But if large numbers of people are continuously stirred up and made to feel discontent, jealousy, and hatred toward their neighbors, if they are made to feel insecure in their property, their health, their employment, and in the various other necessities of life, then they are much more open to giving their support to someone who comes proposing change.
The Democratic party wants to fundamentally change America. They want to change our Constitution, our form of government, our traditions, our values. To do this on an accelerated schedule, they must keep us from living our lives in peace and quiet.
So we can safely predict that the turmoil will continue for the remainder of this president's term. None of us should be surprised by it – it's being done by design. The only way to restore a modicum of peace and quiet in society is to use the ballot box to remove them from their positions of power.

6 Simple Ways to Be the Healthiest Vegan Ever
If you want to reap the health benefits of vegan eating—normal blood pressure, lots of energy, and a reduced risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer—you should eat a variety of fruits, veggies, beans, whole grains, and other wholesome plant-based foods. Big surprise, huh?
Luckily, plant-based foods can meet all your nutritional needs. If you incorporate the following nutrients into your daily meals, you'll be a gold-medal vegan:
Plant-Based Protein
Almost every food contains protein, so it's nearly impossible not to get enough if you're consuming an adequate amount of varied calories. Check out these protein-packed vegan foods and this handy infographic that explains all you need to know about plant-based protein.
Here's a protein-rich recipe from Vegan Richa:
Fish-Free Omega-3s
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for heart, brain, skin, and joint health. Fortunately, you can get them without all the cholesterol and toxins found in fish. Flaxseeds, walnuts, and canola oil are good vegan sources of the omega-3 ALA. It's also a good idea to take vegan DHA capsules, which contain omega-3s derived from algae (which is where fish get it from!). Check out our guide to vegan omega-3s here.
Walnuts, pasta, and basil all contain omega-3s, making this Oh She Glows recipe a real dream dish:
Vitamin B12 for Vegans
Leading health experts encourage everyone to take a multivitamin or supplement to get ample amounts of vitamin B12. It's also found in fortified nutritional yeast, some supermarket cereals, and fortified soy and rice milks as well as in some vegan meats. (Click here to learn more about vitamin B12.)
This Cheesy Broccoli Cauliflower Rice by Blissful Basil adds nutritional yeast to the mix:
Calcium Plus Compassion
Cows don't have to suffer in order for people to get calcium. It's abundant in collard greens, kale, broccoli, beans, sesame tahini, and almonds. (Here are 50 ways to incorporate kale into your next meal.) It can also be found in calcium-fortified soy or rice milk, orange juice, and some brands of tofu. For a complete guide to vegan calcium, check out this page.
Here's a calcium-packed vegan recipe from A House in the Hills:
Our bodies need vitamin D to absorb calcium, which brings us to the next point.
Vitamin D, the Sunshine Vitamin
Sunshine is one of the best sources of vitamin D. Many brands of nondairy milks contain some calcium and vitamin D, as do some brands of fortified orange juice. Tofu and mushrooms are also rich in this necessary vitamin. To learn more, check out these five ways to get more vitamin D.

Iron to Make Popeye Proud
Spinach is rich in iron, so eat it heartily. Other iron-rich foods include beans, black-eyed peas, lentils, chickpeas, oatmeal, dried fruits, nuts, sunflower seeds, nutritional yeast, molasses, and grains such as quinoa and millet. Vitamin C helps increase iron absorption, so for optimal health benefits, consume foods that are rich in both, such as dark-green leafy vegetables.

Hi Sean, try flaxseed capsules instead of fish oil. I know Fish oil is excellent for enhancing your memory, in its absence try lecithin granules or tablets.
I would love to see PETA include hemp seed oil and hemp protein to the list. By the way, neither has Δ9-THC. Hemp seed oil has the most perfect proportion of omega-6 to omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa). A balance of the two helps prevent a myriad of chronic diseases. Food preservatives are usually very high in omega-6, causing an imbalance. It is also the only plant with vitamin D, and is a source of ALA and GLA. Soy protein can have traces of hexane, an industrial solvent used to isolate the protein. Hemp protein is a complete and healthy protein source containing all 21 amino acids. It is also loaded with dietary fiber.
Im a NEW VEGITARIAN AS OF TODAY AND I NEEDED HELP. thank you!!!
Great tips, thanks PETA
I've been told by my doctor that I'm to take fish oil capsules as a daily regimen (and have done so for over a year) but I wanted to know what the vegan/vegetarian equivalent is to taking fish oil. Also, will those alternatives have the same results as fish oil.
RBR I have a tip for you – this is one easy way to begin. Choose one animal. Pig, Cow, Birds, or Fish. Cut that out for 30 days. For the next thirty days, choose another animal. Cut that out for 30 days. Next thing you know, it will be easy as pie. Delicious, vegan pie. 🙂
It's wonderful to see people taking health into their own hands and finding compassion for themselves and animals! Eating vegan whole foods is the easiest and best way to make a great change! If anyone has any questions or needs help please don't hesitate to drop me an email. I am a vegan food educator – cooking instructor and coach. http://www.veggiecookingclasses.com peace to all of you! thanks PETA for all your work and resources..
I may not stop eating meat all together but i do want to drastically reduce my meat intake to become healthier and out of compassion for animals. Anybody have tips for me?
I have been diagnosed with breast cancer twice.I had a full macetomy,hypertention,chronic pain,phybermyaligia,extended colon, epilepsy,and depression.I take a lot of medciations and want to get off the drugs totally. I have stoped eatting any meat for two months. I can see a change in my skin and hair already and weight is slowly going down.I need plenty of ideas how to eat healthy fruits and vegtables. I want to become a true vegatarian to help me to live longer HELP me Live.
I have been a vegetarian for 21 years and never felt better and i take suplements and i wish everyone would be that way as animals are suffuring so much , i pray for the world conscienness to evolved and stop eating meat .
Great list 🙂
I find that there is no need for B12 supplements because most non-dairy milks, cereals, and mock meats, are fortified 🙂
Eat Kind. Be Strong.
Its been 2 months since I became a vegan. I have lost weight and Im feeling great. PETA has a lot of great recipes and they are delicious. This is great info
Jess, Simply have the inquisitors watch Food Inc. The fact that you have decided to most likely live longer with a greater quality of life places you in the position of leadership and to provide them with sincere empathy for they know not what they do.
No one's opinion matters more than yours. For some reason people LOVE to bash a Vegan lifestyle… it's because you make THEM feel insecure about their choices… and the choices they are not making.
I made an agreement with myself not to discuss it, and when people say that's not healthy, I say " O really ?" I pause and I let them follow up…. usually they can't even tell you why they think that. It's a non-discuss topic… what matters is how you FEEL 🙂
@Jess c.
those people are just insecure about their diets, don't worry
I have just recently become a vegan, and although i'm personally loving the lifestyle and the new found energy, i'm getting sick of constantly having to defend myself to people. at least twice a day i have to defend myself to my family ior a friend.
Great info for vegans! We go through lots and lots of nutritional yeast which is fortified with lots of great B vitamins. Check out out website for lots of great recipes. http://www.livingrawandvegan.com
I have been a vegetarian for over 17 years and ready to make the leap to become vegan. This site is awsome. As for chia seeds, they are amazing….They have more Omega-3 then flaxseeds. 🙂 RIP Cheese
I am the author of Best 50 Vegan, a recipe book of recipes from the best vegan serving restaurants in North America. I am wanting to include some nutrional advise in the book from a expert and am hoping you can dirrect me to one. I appriciate any help thanks!
I had a dream that I was starting a small beanerie and I had many bean recipies to offer. I love beans.
We just tried Chia seeds… I put them in my kids pancakes… as well as flax seeds.. we haven't gone totally vegan… but are probably more flexatarian… with very little to no beef… minimal chicken and fish.. and lots of veggies… legumes… and nuts.
I really enjoyed this article. Thanks for enlighting me on such important facets of life
Besides flaxseed meal, another good option is Chia seeds and they don't need to be ground like flaxseed. They have a lot of Omega 3's. Then there is hemp seeds. So I think popping vitamins for Omega 3 is so not necessary.
Now the vegans also can enjoy the benefits of Omega3. I ahve been using this product for last couple of months & the results have been amazing. The product is called VMega3.
V-mega3™ is a vegetarian alternative for Omega 3 DHA EPA, it is 100% derived from vegetarian microalgae. Normally fishes are known to have high amounts of Omega 3 but considering the risk of ocean borne contamination that fish's carry, V-mega3™ offers you a great way to include Omega 3 DHA EPA in your diet.
V-mega3™, which is derived from vegetarian softgels contain the power of DHA as well as EPA. DHA and EPA are helpful in reducing the risk of coronary heart diseases. Also Omega 3 fatty acids help lower triglycerides and apoprotiens and raise HDL, hence helping people with diabetes and cholesterol. Although more studies are required, but still there is significant evidence to prove that intake of Omega 3 key ingredient of V-mega3™ helps people suffering from Osteoporosis.
Some of the other areas where benefits of V-mega3™ can be shown are Menstrual pain, Breast Cancer, Colon cancer etc*. Due to such benefits V-mega3™ is an ideal supplement for babies, prenatal mothers and adults. Also as it is a supplement it can be conveniently added to your daily diet without much fuss.
For more information on our product, commitment and dedication to spread Healthy Living & Life Please log onto: http://www.v-mega3.com
I'd like to add this:
Instead of popping vitamins for Omega-3's, just buy flaxseed meal and sprinkle in in your morning cereal, toast, sandwich, anything really. It adds a little crunch and tastes kind of like sprouts, but the taste isn't very noticeable.
I really like this article, it's so true and healthy. One thing I don't get from fellow vegans, though, is that they say to drink calcium-fortified orange juice because the calcium is vegan. But I can't find ONE brand that doesn't use vitamin D3!
Oh well it just goes to show that the next generation of people are becoming more wiser and educated about the health benefits regarding vegetarian food as opposed to the old traditional meat and dairy diet of the westerners who often die from degenerative diseases and live 10years less than we vegetarians.
Its just like smoking. We have all the facts and know its unhealthy yet there are some people who want a death wish by continuing smoking anyway . Its the natural selection thing isnt it. ignorant people die out because of their lack of knowledge and awareness!!
Of course, what a great site and informative posts, I will add backlink – bookmark this site? Regards, Reader.
I tried veganism and really wanted it to work out but living in a house where dairy and meat replacements are not available (my family adores meat) it got sort of expensive buying all the food until all i ate was just bread and noodles. needless to say i wasnt getting all the nutrition i needed and it was making me really weak. im just a vegetarian now but sometimes i wonder how i can make my family more supportive of my eating habits
Um I have no problem with people going vegan but im still really unsure about it. Because well im still a minor and I dont think my parents will allow me to. Ive tried going vegan before but it just didint work to well for me. Maybe its because I wasint getting the proper resourses to really try it.
[…] The ADA also points out that well-planned (not just Oreos, pop tarts, and French fries, obviously) vegetarian diets can meet the recommendations for protein, n-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, iodine, calcium, and vitamins D and B12, as well as other essential nutrients. (If you want some basic healthy-eating tips, check out my blog, A Vegan's Guide to Good Nutrition.) […]
The BEST source of omega3's is Chia Seeds! Yeah, like the kind used in Chia pets!
I've known this for awhile, but it's nice to get reassured.
Almost vegan for a year (June 15th), and I'm still loving every minute!
I agree with all of this, except the vitamin D part. It's not a good idea to go out in the sun without sunscreen, even in the winter. Supplements and fortified food are better options.
I like so much to read this kind of articles and see I'm keeping in the correct path. I've been vegetarian for ten years already and my last blood analysis were just perfect – the doctor commented they were the best results he had seen in a long time. Calcium, iron, cholesterol, everything was the best way it could be. I'm making my transition to veganism (I don't have milk nor dairy, but I like to bake very much and in Spain it's hard to find egg replacers – so I use organic eggs from hens living free) and I couldn't feel better!
Robin: I'm surprised to read in your comment that "In school, people would either be angry or stunned when they asked me to explain why I wasn't eating this or that from the lunch selection". The same has been happening to me all these ten years! Can anybody explain why people is so angry when I tell them I'm a vegetarian? Recently I went with a friend to a Chinese restaurant, and she was surprised to see that I removed shrimps from my fried rice. "Are you allergic to seafood?", she asked. "No I'm not. I'm a vegeterian", I answered. She looked very offended and said, almost sarcastically, "Well, excuse me, but I'm not stopping eating meat". I was so surprised that I didn't know what to say. I met her not long ago and I've never asked her to stop eating meat… I'm not doing a bad thing so why people is rude towards me?
Thanks for the info! Regards from Argentina
A great article indeed, very educational and now I know what to say when someone asks me where I get my nutrition from.
I wish I'd had this article when I was in high school (long ago, way back with the dinosaurs…) to have such a clear instruction on vegan food nutrition. In school, people would either be angry or stunned when they asked me to explain why I wasn't eating this or that from the lunch selection. They would inevitably say something like…"WHAT do you EAT?!?" I'd usually wait for a good moment and then say, "What are YOU eating? Do you know?" If animal welfare issues didn't phase them, the chemical-hormonal-foulness factor of meat usually caught their attention long enough to see that I had smart reasons for my food choices. But a better approach is to mention how all of the nutrition we need is covered by such and such natural, non animal foods. Thanks, Heather.
To Magg,
A balanced vegan diet provides sufficient iron. If you eat legumes, raisins and dark leafy green vegetables (for example) you are getting iron. Remember that iron is absorbed best with the presence of Vitamin C, so if you're eating the dark leafy greens both iron and C are present. Mother Nature knew what she was doing! As a vegan/vegetarian you probably need to take a basic multivitamin for the B12; read the labels – iron is present in most multivits but absent in those specifically formulated for men because men are rarely anemic. Too much iron can actually be harmful, so don't overdo it either.
Thanks for all the nice comments about my blog. Magg, the information on iron is under the "Make Popeye Proud" section. You can also get more info on iron and other nutrients by clicking on the link at the end of the blog, or by visiting http://www.PCRM.org.
I agree with most people here. This article is very helpful. Thank you so much. I really want to go vegan and this is helpful.
How about iron?? I don't want to be an anemic vegetarian….
I cant THANK You enough for writing these articles. They help me out so much when im walking Aimlessly in a grocery store. Now, whatever ile i am in, i can always find something for myself.
We Shouldn't use animals in anyway and that includes for dairy prdocuts, they are just as cruel. GO VEAGN!!!
It is frustrating whenever Omega 3's are mentioned in the news (and they are mentioned alot) and fish is given as the sole source. I'm always screaming at the TV. Then there is calcium. A friend of mine was told by his doctor to drink milk for calcium, despite the fact that he is lactate intolerant! Guess the doc thought he looked like a baby cow. Even if I wasn't vegan and had no care for animals, I would avoid cow's milk always. Simply not a healthy thing for humans.
This is fantastic. Thank you so much. It's overwhelming when one goes into a health food store and sees all of these supplements and other products. It helps to read what you wrote about DHA and Omega-3 info. I'm so glad this info is available! Thank you!
Really what is used to fortify the cerals so they have enough B12 in them?
Thanks for this article, just goes to show that Vegetarians/Vegans can get the proper nutrition…who ever said we needed animals for this anyway? Thanks again!
This article is so helpful. Thank you so much!

hi all
thanks for all you help with foop. it's been doing pretty well recently thanks to you.
ben has started opening on a tuesday 3-6 as well, and this seems to be popular, however he is away for 2 weeks so if anyone else is able to open it up then that would be great.
could i just remind you that at the end of shift please count money taken, remove float and leave in box (£25) and give the rest to the kitchen manager to put in the safe for us. it's just so that it is all ready for the next person, any mistakes can be found there and then as harder to find them a week later, and also so we do not have too much money in the tin should it get stolen.
i keep meaning to do some instruction sheets but not got round to it yet so apologies.

Twenty years ago – 1993
The village of Westfield now has the title and deed for the Grand Theater building and plans are under way for its demolition. Mayor Joseph Pagano said the possibility of holding an auction first is being explored. There are stacks of old tickets, about 100 new bricks in the theater basement, seats and other items that people may want as memorabilia. The mayor thought an auction would be a fun thing to do, particularly this time of year when there isn't much going on.

Biology/Life Science
Rainforest Bird Beak Buffet
Students will look at pictures of 5 different rainforest birds and share their similarities and differences. Each student will be given one of 5 tools and one of 3 cups to represent respectively a beak and stomach. Students will go around the room and forage for "food," respresented by fake and real food. They will discover that their "beak" and "stomach" allow them to eat only certain kinds of of food and consider the implications of this.View this entire lesson plan
The Lungs and Respiratory System
Students review what they already know about breathing and the respiratory system. After a brief introduction to the respiratory system, students break into two groups and rotate through two stations. At one station the students observe and touch human lung specimens and discuss the effects of smoking. At the other station, students simulate the effect of astma on breathing.View this entire lesson plan
Mini Medical School - Hematology
This is a two-class lesson plan. During the first class students are entered into a "mini-medical school" where they will learn about the functions and components of blood and make a candy model to reflect their relative proportions. At the end of the class, they graduate medical school as hematologists. The next day they will be presented with a mock patient with a blood disorder. In groups, they will attempt to diagnose the patient using blood smears, results of lab tests, and patient histories.View this entire lesson plan
Amylase - Exploring digestion and evolution through a molecular machine
The lesson is designed around two sets of experiments. The first set demonstrates that amylase is a digestive enzyme that degrades starch into sugar, can do so repeatedly and, like many enzymes, is sensitive to acid. The second set of experiments demonstrates the variability of amylase activity in different students' saliva.View this entire lesson plan

Antigen switching in malaria
In this activity, students will model how the parasitic malaria protist Plasmodium falciparum evades the host immune response through a phenomenon called antigen switching. Specifically, slips of paper representing malaria-infected red blood cells will be used to demonstrate how random changes in the expression of Plasmodium proteins that display on the surface of human red blood cells helps the parasite avoid destruction by the host immune system. Students start with a single infected red blood cell with a specific surface marker protein, and from there will simulate the spread of infection through multiple generations of infection (each generation consisting of a parasite infecting a red blood cell, dividing and multiplying inside the red blood cell, then bursting to release new parasites that go on to infect new red blood cells). Student will find that the parasite occasionally changes the type of surface marker protein expressed over several generations. When the immune system begins destroying infected cells displaying the original surface protein, cells that have switched to expressing a different protein survive and continue to divide.View this entire lesson plan
Sheep Heart Dissection
Students observe and dissect a sheep heart. In doing so, they learn about how the heart works and what it really looks like.
While this lesson is adaptable for many grade levels, it is a great fit with California's FOSS 5th grade Living Systems kit and that kit's goal of learning the structures and functions of the circulatory system.View this entire lesson plan
Hands On With Cells - Using Slide Viewers and Microscopes
In this activity students use microscopes and slide viewers to visualize cells and record what they see. Emphasis is on *recording observations*. Students are introduced to new technologies and to the diversity of cells that make up our body and that exist in plants.View this entire lesson plan
Meet a Land Snail
In this lesson students will play a guessing game, observe land snails, and create a realistic drawing of a land snail. At the end of the lesson they will brainstorm things they wonder about Land Snails.
This lesson is alternate or introductory lesson to the FOSS lesson on observing land snails. Students begin and end the lesson as a whole group and observe either independently or in pairs.View this entire lesson plan
Perception and the Brain
In this lesson, students are introduced to how the brain interprets and uses sensory information from the visual system to guide how the body moves and performs various tasks. This lesson makes use of a specialized set of goggles with prism lenses that shift what the wearer sees. Using these prism goggles, students will see first hand how the brain adapts over time to changes in what we perceive. The lesson also makes a connection to the brain and brain function by giving students a chance to see and touch a preserved brain specimen.View this entire lesson plan
What factors affect the oxidation of apples?
Students observe the browning of apples after cut and being exposed to air and brainstorm ideas about why this might be happening.
Students think about ways to slow down or prevent the browning effect and in teams create and conduct a simple experiment to test their ideas.
How does the pH environment affect bioavailability of Iron?
Dietary minerals are available through ingestion of food and supplements. In this lesson, students first examine the chemical reaction of two forms of iron, Fe0 and F+2 with various pH conditions of either the stomach or intestine to determine how it gets absorbed and eliminated in the body. Then students isolate iron from the foods we eat (such as cereal) using a magnet to attract elemental iron or Fe0.View this entire lesson plan
Forensics Crime Lab
A crime is staged in the classroom. After observing the crime scene, student identify and collect crime scene evidence. Students use blood typing analysis, microscopy, and chromatography to analyze the evidence. The list of suspects is narrowed to identify the potential culprit.

Think you know everything there is to know about the Miracle on Ice? Take our interactive quiz and see if you are gold-medal worthy!
Although the names Mike Eruzione and Jim Craig are the first ones people think of when they recall the Miracle on Ice team, there's no way the U.S. beats the mighty Russians without the star power of Mark Johnson.
It's been 35 years since the tiny Adirondack town of Lake Placid, New York hosted the 1980 Winter Olympics and produced the greatest sports upset of the 20th century. We take you back to the town where the U.S. stunned the mighty Russians.
A dunk can change the momentum of a basketball game. It can intimidate or humiliate. Plenty have been good at it. Here are the best in NBA history at rocking the rim.
From Madonna to Jack Nicholson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick and Bill Murray take in the action at MSG.
They're twins! Many of your favorite pro athletes and coaches have body doubles outside the sports world, from Chris Johnson to Russell Westbrook, Elvis Andrus to Aaron Rodgers, they're all here!
Athletes are always putting themselves and their bodies on the line in the name of pride, glory and victory, but sometimes their bodies break down. Or, in some cases, they suffer terribly gruesome injuries at the hands of others.

let say the pat beat the colts HOPEFULLY NOT! but if and ONLY if, who do you think stand a better chance agains the pats in the superbowl, the bears or the saints?? i honestly believe our last line of defense is in indy. i doubt any team in the nfccould stand a chance agains the pats but if they do i think i'd go with the saint simply because they have a good defense, not solid but good and their high flying offense with the combo of duece and bush

i think both teams from the nfc are capable of beating the pats. The bears can beat the pats if rex play good and saints are good enough to beat anyone
Posted 15 January 2007 - 10:16 PM
the saints.....LT gave the pats headaches becuase they're slow as rocks and Bush will do the same not to mention they're inability to stop the run would probably make for a huge day for either teams because both like to pound the rock but im rooting for the saints

Saints without a doubt. If there is any team that would absolutely capitalize on Rex and his bad decision making it is the Patriots. Go Indy.

A Few of My Favorite Things
January 3, 2008. Posted by Cephas Bowles.Add new comment | Filed under: art blakey, cal tjader, cecil brooks iii, charles earland, cyrus chestnut, danny mixon, don pullen, fun, horace silver, Jazz Alive, jazz fan, jazz pianists, joe locke, king of instruments, listening heaven, max roach, michael bourne, music, organ trio, rhythm section, roy haynes, stefon harris, wbgo
As the General Manager of WBGO, I am a jazz fan and listen to the station quite a bit. While I work at the station, and had an above-average knowledge of jazz prior to moving back to Newark to assume this gig, I'm not all knowing and actually learn quite a bit about jazz and what I like from the station. Thank you, WBGO announcers!!!! In this short post, I want to share with you SOME of the things that I like about jazz.
I lust for the sound of a driving rhythm section. There's nothing better than being able to peck out the rhythm with one's neck (thank you Cecil Brooks III) while driving down a wide open road with jazz blasting from the radio. Drummers are among my favorites--Art Blakey, Max Roach, and Roy Haynes.
I like the melodic sound of the vibraphone played so beautifully or pretty , as Michael Bourne says, that you have to stop to listen to it. I like Bobby Hutcherson, Joe Locke and Stefon Harris. There are others but those three stand out. I love Cal Tjader and regret that I didn't go to see him when I lived out West and he was still with us!
I adore the big sound of the Hammond B-3 played by someone who knows how to get every ounce of funk and bass from this king of instruments. Add a great guitarist and drummer and you have listening heaven. The sound overwhelms you. I don't know anyone who can sit still while a good organ trio is doing its thing. I loved Charles Earland. Jimmy Smith was great but didn't move me the way the Earland did. (Yes, I realize that I've just trangressed against an icon of the B3!!!) Joey D., McGriff, Radam, they're good but nobody fills the shoes left by the Mighty One.
I like the sound of lyrical pianists who play effortlessly and take those compositions and make them sing. Horace Silver and Cyrus Chestnut are two of my favorites! I also love jazz pianists who sound like they are playing percussion. Michel Camilo, Don Pullen and Danny Mixon are examples. And, then, there are those pianists who command the instrument to perform--Harold Mabern and McCoy Tyner.
I like uncommon instruments played well. Andy Narell on steel pans; the late Roland Kirk playing nose flute, manzello and stritch; Steve Turre with his shells; Regina Carter playing lots of violin; and Toots Thielemann's whistling. Paquito D'Rivera's Tango Band includes a guest bandoneon player. I love the sound of that accordion-like instrument.
I love Latin and Brazilian jazz. Again, so rhythmic and full of fun.
There are so many great saxophonists who swing. The late great Jackie Mac, James Carter, Eric Alexander, Joe Lovano, and countless others.
I love the young guys who are working hard to develop their chops on various instruments and who value the music historically and practically.
I truly appreciate the knowledge of jazz and love of music that the WBGO announcers bring to the table each day and the fact that the station's Board of Trustees are committed to the 24/7 presentation of this music.
I value your interest in music as demonstrated by your review of this very modest post and your attention to all that WBGO does for you and other music fans. I also appreciate the opportunity to share a bit of myself with you through this blog.
Each staff person at WBGO is a fan of the music. If you come to our events or talk with us on the phone or elsewhere, you'll learn that for yourself. Many of us work in WBGO's back room. That is, the second floor of our office building where some WBGO staff members think it's too quiet and too far from the jazz action. It isn't and, best of all, we have radios and computers that bring the sound to us just fine!!!! Thanks for allowing us to do this for you and for us.
These are a few of my favorite things--some of life's simple and all-too-often unspoken pleasures. I hope that you have some and will share them with family and friends. Record parties and word-of-mouth comments work well to introduce people to this music and to whet the appetites of those unfamiliar with our favorite things.
Cephas Bowles
WBGO General Manager

In short: Have taken part in this race 4 times and will definitely return again next year!Date of review: November 27, 2012
In short: I LOVE THIS RACE!In full: This was my second running of the HHH and it didn't disappoint!Obviously it's a big challenge and those hills are extraordinary... not in a nice way ;) ... but the scenery is glorious, the support is second to none and the marshals are brilliant. The organisers should be very very proud - a fantastic job done once again.I will definitely be back again next year; this race is to be an annual date in my diary. Faultless. I would recommend to anyone who wants a challenge!Date of review: March 26, 2012
In short: What a brilliant race!In full: This was my first run of the Chippenham HM - it was recommended by a friend and definitely didn't disappoint. The organisation of it was second to none, the marshalling was excellent - and the support from the marshals throughout and the locals coming out in their droves was really noted and appreciated! A brilliant, warm and supportive atmosphere throughout and the most enjoyable race for me to date - a credit to Chippenham in every way! I got a PB to top it all off with a cherry - will most certainly be back... and will be recommending it to anyone! Thanks v much :) Date of review: September 12, 2011
In short: My first duathlon experience and I'm now hooked - I LOVED it!Date of review: August 3, 2011

Parental controls extend to new devices
Recently, the Tech Tip column covered how to lock down your iOS (Apple) device when letting a child use it. But what about Android? Unfortunately, parental controls are a bit more complicated when it comes to Android-based smartphones and tablets.
Google has just now started implementing a parental control method into Android tablets running Android 4.3, but not into smartphones yet. With the majority of Android devices not running the latest OS, users have to rely on third-party apps.
Some device manufacturers and carriers include apps that put a device into kid mode.
If your device doesn't come with a pre-installed method, search the Play Store for Kid Mode: Free Games + Lock. The free app will help you pick and choose which apps your child can access, while providing free entertainment apps at the same time.

Aging Skin: Can DNA Turn Back the Clock?
NEW YORK, NY (September 12, 2002) — What if you could alter the aging process of your skin, maintaining a more youthful appearance for years or even decades longer? That's the aim of new DNA research reported in the current issue of Aesthetic Surgery Journal (ASJ), the peer-reviewed publication of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).
Over time, our skin thins, loses elasticity and becomes discolored. Some of these changes are caused by external stimuli - exposure to the sun, for example - but genetics also determines a great deal. New research, reported in ASJ, is using a technique called "gene expression profiling" to analyze facial skin from young and old patients undergoing aesthetic plastic surgery. The idea is to identify those specific genes that change with aging, with the ultimate goal of targeting these genes for intervention therapies to be developed in the future
This is the first time that this gene technology, using DNA microarrays (tiny microchips with DNA samples), is being used to study aging skin. Although much work remains to be done, the results so far are encouraging. "We estimate that our statistical methods will limit the number of genes to a workable range of 30 to 100," says Chicago plastic surgeon Mary McGrath, MD, author of the research report.
Cosmetic surgery can reduce many of the visible signs of facial aging by eliminating excess skin, repositioning the soft tissues of the face and resurfacing the skin with the use of chemical or laser treatments. "Although these operations are effective, they are ultimately limited by the continual aging of the skin," says Dr. McGrath. "Reaching the next plateau in aesthetic surgery may involve addressing the intrinsic changes that occur with aging."
We know that the physiological process of aging skin is influenced by the switching on and off of certain genes. What researchers want to find out is exactly which genes are responsible, and what can be done to alter the process. "Influencing gene expression may make it possible for the aesthetic plastic surgeon to offer therapies for maintaining the skin qualities that make rejuvenation surgery, especially secondary procedures and surgery in the elderly patient, most effective," says Dr. McGrath. "I would hesitate to say that we ever will be able to genetically control the aging process, but someday we may at least be able to alter some of the structural and functional changes that cause our skin to age."
Mary McGrath, MD, is available for interviews.
Contact the ASAPS Communications Office: 212-921-0500.
Note: Dr. McGrath's study is funded by a 2001 research grant awarded by the Aesthetic Surgery Education and Research Foundation (ASERF).
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), is recognized as the world's leading organization devoted entirely to aesthetic plastic surgery and cosmetic medicine of the face and body. ASAPS is comprised of over 2,600 Plastic Surgeons; Active Members are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (USA) or by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and have extensive training in the complete spectrum of surgical and nonsurgical aesthetic procedures. International Active Members are certified by equivalent boards of their respective countries. All members worldwide adhere to a strict Code of Ethics and must meet stringent membership requirements.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (435 votes).
In short: Undulating was an understatement!!In full: It was a great morning! The weather was superb, the location was top notch, the marshals were brilliant! For me I thought it was quite challenging which is good for me. Maybe i should enter a hilly race to see the difference between the two because i thought this one was quite hilly! i will definitely be back next year! Date of review: June 16, 2009
In short: Enjoyable run over a reasonably challenging route-particularly enjoyed the lolly at the end,lots of water stops on the way round,but was strangely devoid of atmosphere until the crowds at the endDate of review: June 16, 2009
In short: The One With The Ice LollyIn full: Never medal the medal and t shirt it's the Ice Lolly every one wants!!!maybe next year they should make the medal that shape!!!Very well run 1/2 marathon.well marshalled with plenty of drink stops.I'll be back next yearDate of review: June 16, 2009
In short: Very hard going - but very good fun for itIn full: The route is challenging, the majority of it was uphill, or at least it seemed that way to me and my legs. However, the inclines were not particularly steep, but they were long and varied. Thankfully the scenery and general supportiveness of other runners keep you going. Highly recommended, but do make sure you train first!Date of review: June 16, 2009
In short: Great location, very well organisedDate of review: June 15, 2009
In short: Much better than expectedIn full: Having read some mixed reviews from previous years I was not quite sure what to expect. Ended up being very surprised and will be back again next year. Good course with mainly closed/quiet roads, endless water stops and 'fantastic' marshalls. Many thanks to all the volunteers on the route. Ice lollies at the end a nice touch and the whole event had the feel of a family day out with lots going on. Only gripe with parking and not turning cars around at the entrance to the park rather than letting them queue for 10-15 minutes to only find there were no spaces. Ended up parking in town which cost me £8. Yikes!Date of review: June 15, 2009
In short: Hot, hard work but worth it - and don't forget sunscreenIn full: trained harder for this than for previous two half marathons but it took 10 minutes longer - well worth putting in some hill training to enjoy it properly. The ice lolly at the end was the best I've ever tasted & I would have guarded it with my life. Very well organised and friendly with good parking.

Hello, everyone,
Never let it be said that lack of steady work keeps me idle - in fact, I'm pleased to announce (if you haven't heard the latest Zone 4 podcast) that I will be hosting a Doctor Who-related event.
Yes, on February 28th - just a few short days away from the mega-spectacular Dan Con 2012 - I will be speaking with Hugo Award-winning author Lynne Thomas. Our topic will be Chicks and Guys Who Dig Time Lords - A Doctor Who-Centric Conversation)
(For more info about Ms. Thomas' book, please read this review)
The event will be held in the Hendrickson Room at Arlington Heights Memorial Library, located at 500 N. Dunton (which I am informed is within walking distance of the Metra station) on Tuesday, February 28th from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm. We'll have presentation, discussion, and Q & A.
(And a special thanks to the Chicago Nerd Social Club for letting me know about this great opportunity).
So if you're in the Chicago area at that time (and for the Nerd Girls - if you have any questions, or would like me to have Ms. Thomas contact you, just let me know), please feel free to stop on by. You can (and should) RSVP for the event by heading to http://bit.ly/ChicksDigTL
And don't forget - Dan Con is merely a few days away on March 4th. It will allow you to buy me presents for my birthday on March 6th. If you're really nice to me, you can spend my birthday evening with me at a fake Irish pub

In his latest column, David Brooks examines the limits of data and "objective knowledge" in guiding or directing our imaginations when it comes to solving social problems.
Using teenage pregnancy as an example, he notes that although it may be of some use to get a sense on the general drivers of certain phenomena, such information is, in the end, "insufficient for anyone seeking deep understanding":
Unlike minnows, human beings don't exist just as members of groups. We all know people whose lives are breathtakingly unpredictable: a Mormon leader who came out of the closet and became a gay dad; an investment banker who became a nun; a child with a wandering anthropologist mom who became president.
We all slip into the general patterns of psychology and sociology sometimes, but we aren't captured by them. People live and get pregnant one by one, and each life and each pregnancy has its own unlikely story. To move the next rung up the ladder of understanding you have to dive into the tangle of individual lives. You have to enter the realm of fiction, biography and journalism.
For the solution, he points to Augustine:
[Augustine] came to believe that it take selfless love to truly know another person. Love is a form of knowing and being known. Affection motivates you to want to see everything about another. Empathy opens you up to absorb the good and the bad. Love impels you not just to observe, but to seek union — to think as another thinks and feel as another feels. (more…)

Skip to comments.How Free is Free Republic
Posted on 12/31/2003 12:12:28 PM PST by visagoth
I didn't find this posted here on FR - so here we go.....
|How Free is Free Republic?
By felixrayman
Mon Dec 29th, 2003 at 09:53:55 PM EST
Free Republic is an online story and discussion site similar to Kuro5hin.org, but with an explicitly conservative bias. The site proclaims itself to be "an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web." Intrigued, I proceeded to offer some comments to stories there, addressing some factual errors and dissenting with some conservative views. The result was a quick lesson in the right-wing view of free expression. The experiment left an open question - where do you go on the web to engage conservatives in open debate? Where is the right-wing version of k5?
One article on the Free Republic site entitled "Dean Finally Shoots Self Somewhere Other Than Own Foot" attacks Howard Dean for his statement that "The capture of Saddam has not made America safer". The poster of the article goes on to claim, "If any of the Left is paying attention, Dean has just officially proven the he is DEFINITELY clueless when it comes to foreign policy. Another in a long line of RATS that just doesn't get it".
A comment posted to another Free Republic story, "Howard Dean: The Mayor of Milwaukee", in an attempt to belittle Howard Dean's fiscal record claimed that the budget of one county in Illinois was larger than the budget of the state of Vermont. It claimed the budget of the County of DuPage, near Chicago, to be $1.6 billion, and that the budget for the entire state of Vermont was $73 million. After a quick google search, I found this assertion to be incorrect. The reply I posted 'The "$73 million" figure you quote is for the Vermont Municipal Employees' Retirement System, not the entire Vermont budget. Vermont's budget calls for 1.8 billion in state spending with another billion in federal spending', was removed within a few minutes.
The Free Republic claims in its help section that, "While Free Republic is not edited or censored, it does reserve the right to remove any postings that are considered inappropriate. Examples of inappropriate posts are those that are off-subject or contain advertising, pornography, obscene material, racist material, Nazi (or other hate group) material, materials promoting violence, threats or illegal acts, etc". It would be interesting to know under which category my replies were considered to fall.
"The only meaningful difference is between those who believe in the original intent interpretation of the Constitution and those who do not. Those who believe in the Constitution believe in individual liberty. Those who ignore or rewrite the Constitution do not believe in individual liberty. This is the only difference which matters. "
Within minutes, the post was removed by a moderator. In addition, after this third reply, my ability to post comments on the site was revoked.
We'll see what happens to this one then.

Promoting left wing site
I would have preferred to answer this fool and figuratively roasted him/her over a slow fire.
Thanks for your reply. My intention in posting the thread was not to 'promote a left wing website', but to give others a heads up on the discussion regarding trying to 'troll' FR.
Thanks again for FR. I appreciate it.
Actually I like to debate liberals if they can back up their argument with intelligent debate. Unfortunately, most of them are caught up in emotion and media lies.
Oh, this thread has nothing to do with this? Nevermind:)
I am the one who posted this same thing yesterday, because a link to the article on the site was prominently displayed at freshmeat.net, which is (supposedly) a non-political site that shows the latest releases of open source software. I thought we might add our two cents to their left wing rants.
My intention was not to promote any left wing site either, although I did get accused once of doing that on the thread - which both made me laugh and got me a little ticked.
It made me laugh because anyone who knows me would never associate me with anything close to the left (or even the "center").
It got me ticked because you can call me anything you want, but if you label me as anything other than conservative, I'm going to get ticked.
Guns Before Butter.
What's 'clean' about pulling a response where someone puts the correct figure for Vermont's budget when someone posts in error? I don't get it.
We get plenty of liberal brainwashing on the news... Thanks for your dedication to maintaining the focus of FR as a conservative meeting place.
Jim can correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my impression that new trolls are often banned in some manner that automatically deletes ALL their replies, not just ones that are out of line (quicker than having to look through every post they made).
We defend the right of all, including leftists, to free speech. But that doesn't mean we have to, or choose to, welcome such speech here.
Didn't say that was clean. My response to Jim was regarding his policy of pulling the crap posted here by the usual suspects (trolls). If I want to read DU crap then I'll slum over at the DU.
Thanks. I think a few people are still missing the part where I typed:
My intention in posting the thread was not to 'promote a left wing website', but to give others a heads up on the discussion regarding trying to 'troll' FR.
Have a great New Year!
I don't know. How much are you paying for access ?
Jim bought Barbra's house? Man, I hope he had it fumigated.
So, like what is your point dude?
Yes it is. It's free from trolls.
I will try to be as polite as possible here... but please read Post 9
And because you asked, $25 a year.
Amen to that! Now if ya want to debate libations, that's another story. I'm drinking a beer followed by another beer, imported of course, anybody want to debate about that? ;-)
Hey... It's New Year's Eve. :-\
The only problem with being at the head of the pack is everyone gets to take a shot at your rear.
Can't imagine a better website anywhere!
The scope of FR allows a pretty wide range of debate. If I were to characterize it, though, I'd say it's closer to libertarian-anarchist than conservative. I've also noticed that liberals are allowed to post, so long as they maintain a certain level of civility, and don't try to make the entire forum a blog for the communists. I also suspect that many of the people who are banned are people who have been banned multiple times, as determinable from their IP address (although I have no access to this information). Whenever someone comes in and on their first day posting prints a Mother Earth News indictment of capitalism and uses the term "bushbots" and "WOD'ers", I pretty well suspect that this is their third or fourth screen name.
I think the quickest way to destroy freedom is to abuse it. The statement frequently made is that the only way to protect freedom of speech is to defend that speech which is most indefensible. This is garbage. It is similar to saying that defending the "right to drive a car" is only protected when we defend the most irresponsible driving. Also, FR sends no one to jail for printing their beliefs. However, it is not obligated to give anyone a podium. The arguments made in the article are silly. It implies that the keepers of this forum are not moral agents who have any authority to run the forum as they see fit. To the writer of the article: Start your own forum. Run it without any rules. Watch the nutballs show up. Give equal time to people that write "blah, blah, blah" or post gibberish until it becomes impossible to follow a thread because of the incoherence injected by people who want to destroy debate, not create it.
When you think about it, Howard Dean's statement about Hussein is really quite scary because the statement has unintentionally exposed Dean's philosophy on foreign policy which is that if you are not on American soil, you are on your own as far as Dean is concerned.
Guns Before Butter.
And as it happens, this guy got nuked by one of the staff. Reviewing his posts, I am confident it was a good nuke.
All the best, LM

I have some Da Yu Ling from DTH. In 2 tsp of tea I find about 5-10 stems that avg a cm in length. First few sessions I left them. Today I removed the rolled tea from them before brewing, though I did find the leaves didn't want to separate...after the first brew I found a couple more and (more easily) removed the leaves.
- do you do this...does it matter? after doing it I might say the tea is a little smoother, but not dramatic
- if you do remove the stems, do you do it before the initial steeping, or after (when, to me, the leaves come off easier)

Celebrating Two Decades Of Special Education At YESS!
What began twenty years ago as a support group for parents of six learning disabled children in Queens who could not find a yeshiva capable of accommodating their educational needs, has evolved into a full scale institution that not only works with its students to master academic challenges, but provides them with a Torah education as well.
The Yeshiva Education for Special Students (YESS!) is a full-scale program for children diagnosed with language processing disorders, attention difficulties and learning disabilities, including auditory or visual processing issues. Currently located in space rented from Yeshiva of Central Queens (YCQ) in the Kew Gardens Hills section of Queens, YESS! has an enrollment of thirty children ranging from kindergarten through eighth grade. Annual tuition is $24,000, with considerable fundraising done by the school's board of trustees in order to subsidize tuition costs for all students.
"Until YESS! was started twenty years ago, there were no Jewish programs for kids with disabilities," explained YESS! director for the last eleven years, Rabbi Yaakov Lustig, M.S. "These kids had no choice but to attend public schools, because there were no yeshivas that could provide appropriately for them. While maybe the kids could learn some skills in the public schools they attended, they were lacking normal healthy social interaction with other Jewish children."
Neva Goldstein, one of the founding parents at YESS!, and current school president, recalls the difficulties she faced when her son Avishai was just five and relegated to public school because there was no yeshiva program that could accommodate his developmental language based disabilities.
"The only yeshiva program at the time was in New Jersey and because they had to accommodate the local parent body first we couldn't get a placement there," recalled Mrs. Goldstein. "The public school program tried to be accommodating of my son's religious needs but there were still mishaps. Even though I made sure to keep him out of school on days like Halloween, they still took the kids to see Santa Claus at Kings Plaza. One day they called me, telling me they were going to McDonalds and they wanted to know what my son could eat. I was there in just five minutes to pick him up and bring him home. Just imagine. My son, in his blue velvet yarmulke with little ducks on it and his tzitzis, was going to go to McDonalds."
Mrs. Goldstein still gets emotional when she recalls a heartbreaking conversation that took place with her son the night before he was scheduled to start kindergarten in a public school.
"Avishai was crying and I asked him what was wrong. He said to me, 'There is no Shabbat in my school. I want to go to yeshiva.' I promised him that if I had to turn the world upside down, he was going to a yeshiva. It is the pain in his eyes that has driven me all these years."
The original YESS! program was housed for ten years in the Young Israel of Kew Gardens Hills, located just across the street from the yeshiva's current location. Today YESS!' self-contained program offers a full range of services, with therapists providing speech, occupational and physical therapy on site, in addition to providing a complete Limudei Kodesh and General Studies curriculum. YESS! is endorsed by the Vaad Harabonim of Queens and has a permanent charter from the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York, thereby incorporating it under New York State Education Law.
"We spend two to three weeks at the beginning of the school year tailoring an individual program for each student," said Rabbi Lustig. "We use that as our bible, with individualized programs for each of our students so that we can help them develop the skills they need in order to foster independence and help them become independent learners."
Each class at YESS! encompasses a three year age range and has anywhere from four to eight students, with a teacher to student ratio that is no greater than four to one. Students, who are high functioning, both socially and emotionally, come from all five boroughs of New York City as well as nearby Westchester, Nassau and Rockland counties. The school's faculty includes New York State certified special educators with master's degrees in special education and assistant teachers who are currently working on master's degrees in special education or other related fields.Sandy Eller

This week, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will join leaders from 20 other economies in Vladivostok, Russia, to advance efforts to liberalize trade and investment across the vibrant Asia Pacific region and demonstrate robust and sustained U.S. commitment to broad economic engagement across the Asia Pacific region. Our engagement at APEC reinforces our message that the United States is a resident Pacific power committed to strengthening regional institutions to confront 21st century challenges.
As the U.S. Senior Official for Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), it's my responsibility to work with my counterparts in APEC and with a U.S. team from the State Department, U.S. Trade Representative, Commerce, and the business community to prepare the ground work for the Secretary's successful advancement of key U.S. interests. At the forefront of these priorities is the integration of economic policy into all aspects of U.S. foreign policy. In the Asia Pacific region, APEC and our efforts in the Trans-Pacific Partnership play key roles in our rebalance toward Asia.
The stakes are undeniably large; deliberations in APEC since the group's founding in 1989 have had a positive impact on the prosperity of 2.7 billion people in the APEC economies. Today, APEC economies -- including the United States, China, Japan, Russia, Canada, South Korea, Mexico, and Australia represent 55 percent of global gross domestic product.
The benefits to all are clear; APEC initiatives to lower tariffs and foster free, fair, open trade have driven U.S.-APEC trade from $528 million in 1989 to $2.3 trillion today, enhancing the quality of life of millions of citizens across the region.
Trade within APEC helps sustain millions of U.S. jobs. U.S. merchandise exports to APEC have increased 45 percent from 2009-2011, and APEC economies are the destinations for nearly 60 percent of U.S. exports in 2011. Foreign direct investment in the U.S. by Asia-Pacific economies is also soaring, with Asia now accounting for almost one fifth of all FDI into the U.S.in 2011, sustaining jobs and wealth creation here at home.
APEC is a proven technology incubator for innovation in liberalizing trade and investment. Accordingly, U.S. priorities for the meetings in Vladivostok include follow-up on APEC leaders' commitment to promulgate a robust list of environmental good and services for which member economies would pledge to reduce tariffs to a maximum of 5 percent by 2015, sparking green and efficient growth around the Asia Pacific region. We are also pressing for steps to enhance food security, combat counterfeit medicines, deter wildlife trafficking, and spur growth in innovation.
APEC's work helps set the global pace for expansion of free and fair trade, so robust U.S. leadership at this Leaders' Week in Vladivostok can have a direct benefit not just for American workers and industry, but for all 2.7 billion citizens of APEC economies.

Ashim C. in India writes:
There must be a serious effort to identify what low and mid per capita income group nations can trade in with each other to first create purchasing power for their people and create demand for goods and services; Simultaneously identify what high per capita income group can buy from low and mid capita income group countries for economic empowerment of later. Goods and services of high per capita income group nations can then flow to mid and low per capita income group countries. Technology of exports from developed countries should shift towards low automation and progressively higher manual labour content for jobs to their people and their empowerment. Wherever possible people should move to accept leisure and manage that. High automation in production processes of developed countries and elsewhere cannot be allowed to eat up jobs in developed and lesser developed countries. Possibly a world trade council of handicraft can be be set up to manage free trade in handicraft. If developed countries don't want to accept low automation manufacturing processes, they would better not look at mid and low per capita income group countries.
