NJEA joined the N.J. Department of Education (NJDOE), the State Board of Education and other education organizations in honoring Lauren Marrocco, a fourth-grade teacher in Perth Amboy, as the 2012-13 N.J. Teacher of the Year. Marrocco has taught at E.J. Patten, a K-4, 890-student school, for the entirety of her teaching career, starting with first grade and then switching to fourth grade in 2010.
The 10-year veteran teacher was selected from among the 2012 county teachers of the year by a committee that included representatives of the state education organizations and the NJDOE.
Marrocco will begin a sabbatical funded by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) in January. NJEA provides the state teacher of the year with a rental car complete with EZ Pass, a $500 clothing allowance, a commemorative ring, and communications assistance. SMART Technologies presented Marrocco with a SMART Board package for her classroom.
The state teacher of the year serves as an ambassador for the profession and attends the National Teacher of the Year Conference. Marrocco will also participate in International Space Camp, the National Teachers' Forum and the National Teacher of the Year Ceremony at the White House. She will also be New Jersey's candidate for the National Teacher of Year Program.
The announcement was made at the Oct. 3 State Board of Education meeting. NJEA Vice President Wendell Steinhauer, who sat on the selection committee, represented the Association during the ceremony. NJDOE Chief Talent Officer Peter Schulman, who introduced Marrocco, also recognized the outgoing state teacher of the Year Jeanne DelColle for her contributions to public education in New Jersey over the past year.

For my entire life, I have called the Greater Littleton Community home. Before the strip malls and the incorporation of other parts of Arapahoe County, before even the idea of Highlands Ranch, thousands of us were going to church, shopping and living in Littleton. Some of my fondest memories include fishing with my father at Sterne and Ketring Parks, walking in the homecoming parade, and graduating from Littleton High School where my daughters now attend school.
When first elected as an Arapahoe County commissioner, I drove by the original, historic county courthouse (where I received a curfew ticket as a teenager) on my way to be sworn in at the County Administration Building in Littleton, the county seat. I learned that the county owned the then-vacant building, so I asked about the history of the building and took a tour. It quickly became apparent that one of the most important things the county could do was to save that building. We had to restore part of our past in order to build a stronger future. The City of Littleton now has a beautifully restored courthouse thanks to our efforts.
I've now been directly and professionally involved for over 16 years in the economic health of our county seat, the City of Littleton. I love its people, history and tradition, and I have become heavily involved in areas where citizens and government need to work together to ensure the city's continued success, including the city's changing demographics, its cultural norms, the strength of its commercial base, its transportation routes, and its neighborhoods. The city's future is brighter today than I have ever seen it. Littleton has the potential to achieve an elegant balance between respect for its culture and tradition as a historic city (not just a suburb of Denver) and the critical role Littleton plays in one of the nation's premier metropolitan areas, Denver.
A spotlight is now focused on Colorado, particularly South Metro Denver. We've become the top destination in the country for young professionals to live and work, with major companies expanding and moving here. Littleton is responding accordingly with a variety of new residential and commercial growth.
The Littleton City Council made a wise decision by hiring Michael Penny as city manager. Michael is an energetic, competent and hard-working professional. He and his staff have embarked on a series of long-range planning, communication and economic-development initiatives to improve the quality of life for our city's residents, and we are beginning to see the fruits of their vision and labor. The economy over the last four years has proven difficult for many in our community, both in business and in our neighborhoods, but we now have the potential to grow responsibly and significantly.
For example, as part of the city's economic planning efforts, Littleton recently approved an economic development incentive for Breckenridge Brewery. The South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce is taking this a step further and working with the county to evaluate the possibility of waiving the county's portion of the oppressive business personal property tax that they have jurisdiction over.
As we unite to build a better future, we must be aware of the possibilities before us while recognizing the incredible wealth of knowledge provided by our citizens, elected officials and dedicated staff. We must work together to continue creating jobs, growing the economy, and ensuring that Littleton remains the great place we all love with world-class education through the Littleton Public Schools, world-class parks through the South Suburban Park and Recreation District, strong businesses, and vibrant, safe communities.
John Brackney is the president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce.

Commissioner Sherrie Hayashi has named Garth J. Nielsen of Helper, as Director of the state's new Office of Coal Mine Safety (OCMS), effective July 14.
The OCMS was established at the recommendation of the Utah Mine Safety Commission, appointed by Governor Jon Huntsman. Governor Huntsman appointed the Commission following the Crandall Canyon Mine Disaster in 2007 where six mine workers and three rescue workers died. The OCMS exists to maximize coal mine safety, prevent coal mine accidents, and provide for effective coal mine accident response.
Nielsen has been employed in the mining industry for over 35 years, most recently as Director of Mine Development at Interwest Mining. At Interwest, Nielsen was responsible for recruiting, hiring and training employees.
Throughout his mining career, Nielsen has had vast experience in both ground control and underground construction, which included longwall production and supervision.
"Garth's strong commitment to mining safety is evident through his valuable experience with developing and implementing numerous company safety plans covering all aspects of coal mining operations throughout his career," said Commissioner Hayashi. "He is also experienced in working with mandates and criteria of the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) which will be integral with this position. His qualifications and experience bring great leadership and balance to his position as Utah's first Director of the Office of Coal Mine Safety."
As Director of the OCMS, Nielsen will be responsible for monitoring mine safety and will act as Utah liaison with MSHA as well.

Chapter 29
Hezekiah reigns in righteousness and restores the worship of Jehovah—The Levites cleanse and sanctify the house of the Lord—The priests offer sacrifices and make reconciliation and atonement for the people—Hezekiah and all the people worship the Lord and praise His name.
1 Hezekiah began to
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done.
3 ¶He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.
4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street,
5 And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites,
6 For our fathers have
7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.
8 Wherefore the wrath of the Lord was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
9 For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
10 Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.
11 My sons, be not now negligent: for the Lord hath
12 ¶Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:
13 And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:
14 And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.
15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the Lord, to cleanse the house of the Lord.
16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the Lord into the court of the house of the Lord. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.
17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the Lord: so they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the Lord, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.
19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.
20 ¶Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord.
21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a

text: OverviewBack to top World Centric - Wheat Straw Plates 9-Inch - 20 Count Item# :107017UPC# :894410001098 Brand:World Centric Size/Form:20 Count Ship Weight:0.75 World Centric Wheat Straw Plates 9-Inch 20 Count World Centric Wheat Straw Plates have a 9-Inch diameter. World Centric Wheat Straw Plates are both sustainable and compostable. World Centric's plant fiber based products are now made from sugarcane (bagasse) and wheat straw fiber. Sugarcane and wheat straw are not only annually renewable resources, but can also be turned into products normally made from plastic or paper. Bagasse is the sugarcane fiber remaining after extraction of juice from sugarcane and the wheat straw is the remaining plant material after the wheat grain and chaff have been extracted. World Centric uses these byproducts to make compostable tableware. World Centric products meet FDA standards for food contact and are Gluten-Free. They are made from the wheat stalks and not from the food grain which stores the proteins and allergens. Wheat Straw Compostable Plates are microwave and freezer safe, can be used for both hot and cold items soak proof have no plastic or wax lining handle hot liquids up to 220 Fahrenheit (moisture forms at the bottom for hot food items) fully compostable, sturdy and strong meet ASTM D-6400 standard for compostability Please note that composting is required for biodegradation. These compostable plates will biodegrade within 30 days in a commercial composting facility, and within 90 days in a home composting system. What are biodegradable and compostable products? Biodegradable and compostable products are made from organic, natural materials like corn, reed grass and bagasse (sugar cane). These products come from annually renewable resources and are sustainably manufactured, non-toxic while in use and decompose back into the soil. What is the difference between compostable and biodegradable? Compostable Plastic is plastic which is "capable of undergoing biological decomposition in a compost site as part of an available program, such that the plastic is not visually distinguishable and breaks down to carbon dioxide, water, inorganic compounds, and biomass, at a rate consistent with known compostable materials (e.g. cellulose). and leaves no toxic residue." In order for a plastic to be called compostable, three (3) criteria must be met: Biodegrade - break down into carbon dioxide, water and biomass at the same rate as cellulose (paper). Disintegrate - the material is indistinguishable in the compost, that it is not visible and needs to be screened out. No Eco-toxicity - the biodegradation does not produce any toxic material and the compost can support plant growth. Biodegradable Plastic is plastic which will degrade from naturally occurring microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi etc. over a period of time. Note, that there is no requirement for leaving "no toxic residue", and as well as no requirement for the time it needs to take to biodegrade. What's wrong with plastic and Styrofoam? Plastic and Styrofoam are non-biodegradable, petroleum derived, stay in the environment for hundred to thousands of years and leach toxic substances into the groundwater. Approximately 40 billion plastic utensils are used every year in the USA alone, together with billions of Styrofoam and plastic cups, plates etc. Biodegradable products can, therefore, reduce landfill mass by as much as 30%. What's wrong with paper plates? Most paper disposable products are made from virgin wood fiber, which depletes natural forests and the eco-services that forests provide. In comparison, bagasse is a byproduct of sugar cane production, a readily renewable resource and widely grown all over the world. What's the difference between Corn/PLA products and Bagasse products? PLA products are made from corn starch, while bagasse products are made from residual sugar cane fiber (a waste product of sugar production). PLA products work better with cold materials, while bagasse products work with both hot and cold materials What is composting? Composting is breaking down organic material by bacteria, yeasts and fungi into healthy, fertile soil. What's the difference between composting and recycling? Composting involves the decomposition of organic material by bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Recycling is re-processing used materials to create new items. Recycling works by collecting used "waste," sorting the materials, breaking it down into basic components and then recreating new goods. Biodegradable products are compostable, while most plastics are recyclable. Paper can be either composted or recycled. Is composting a feasible alternative to landfills? Composting biodegradable plastic, along with other biodegradable waste, generates much-needed carbon-rich soil (humus) instead of filling up valuable land with waste. Compost amended soil can have beneficial effects by increasing water & nutrient retention in soil, reducing chemical inputs, (toxins, pesticides, etc.) and suppressing plant diseases. Many communities have large-scale centralized collection of yard waste and compostable material. (Please check with your community about options in your area or ask your waste disposal company.) Through composting, the problem of waste disposal could become the solution for low-input, sustainable agriculture. How is PLA different from recyclable plastic?The first and most important difference between traditional plastics and PLA (polylactic acid) is the material they are made from. Plastics are made from petroleum based chemicals & additives that are known pollutants and toxins while PLA is derived from corn-based resins (a non toxic and annually renewable resource). Secondly is the way in which pla and traditional plastics break down. Traditional plastics can be recycled or thrown in a landfill to slowly breakdown over hundreds of years. PLA products can't be recycled but will biodegrade 60% of their mass within 180 days in a composting system. It is unknown how long biocompostable products such as PLA take to break down if put in a traditional landfill system. How do PLA products handle hot and cold foods? The PLA (corn derived) cutlery is heat resistant to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Using the 120 degrees F cutlery with hotter foods will make it lose its structure and shape. PLA is not microwave, but it is freezer safe. The PLA products are especially great for cold products. What if I am allergic to corn? While PLA is corn-based, the extreme heat used in processing this corn into the feedstock destroys immunologically reactive profilin. Thus, PLA should not cause an allergic reaction. What is Bagasse? Bagasse is sugar cane fiber pulp, left after the juice has been extracted from the sugar cane stalk. Bagasse is normally seen as a waste product and incinerated, thus creating air pollution. Making tableware out of residual sugar cane fiber actually decreases air pollution and adds value to the material. What are the benefits of using bagasse? Bagasse is 100% compostable and it biodegrades in 30-60 days. Through the use of this product, you are contributing to a sustainable planet. Bagasse is a tree-free renewable resource and provides a superior alternative to petroleum derived products. It will biodegrade and will not stay in the environment for hundreds of years. How well do the bagasse products handle heat? The Bagasse (sugarcane fiber) tableware will handle hot food and beverages up to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the tableware does "sweat" with hot foods and some condensation will form at the bottom of the tableware with hot foods. Bagasse is both microwave and freezer safe. About World CentricWorld Centric was founded in 2004 with a mission to reduce economic injustice and environmental degradation through education, community networks, and sustainable enterprises. Over the years, what they do has changed, but their mission still remains the same. World Centric was founded in 2004 to raise awareness of large scale humanitarian and environmental issues and to promote sustainable alternatives to every day consumption choices. In 2004, World Centric hosted award winning documentaries and speakers on environmental, social, human rights, peace issues, offered courses on sustainability, simple living and globalization and worked on a Conscious Living guide. Since there was no funding and as well in order to be a self-sustaining organization, without having to ask for donations, grants or fund raise, World Centric started to sell Fair Trade Products and compostable products in beginning of 2005. By summer of 2006, majority of World Centric's time and resources were devoted to managing the organically growing sales of Fair Trade and compostable products. World Centric as of March 2009, converted from a taxable non-profit to for-profit as the sales of the compostable products had become the main activity. World Centric now considers itself a for-profit social enterprise, where in addition to sustainable compostable products, they want to work towards making World Centric a model of how sustainable enterprises should be run. In 2009, for example they offset all their carbon emissions, and gave 25% of profits before taxes to grass root social and environmental organizations, and hope to move towards giving 100% of our profits. Their overall mission, vision and values stay the same since World Centric's founding - to make a difference and create a more just and sustainable world. World Centric products are made from annually renewable resources like corn, sugarcane, and wheat straw fiber. Sugar cane and wheat straw fiber are also discarded by-products of the agriculture industry and we are using this discarded fiber to make sustainable alternatives to plastics and styrofoam. World Centric Goals To replace styrofoam and plastics with compostable products made from sustainable materials To be a model of how sustainable enterprises and businesses should function To use their profits to: Raise awareness of global environmental and social issues Promote awareness of sustainable alternatives to everyday consumption choices Support grass root organizations working on environmental and social issues Over time move to giving 100% of their profits Environmental Sustainability Efforts: Zero Carbon Footprint. World Centric offset their total carbon emissions by working with two grassroots international environmental and social organizations to plant 175,000 trees in Cameroon and India. Give 25% of net profits. World Centric gave nearly $40,000 in 2009 to worthy charities that contribute toward a more environmentally sustainable and economically viable way of life in India, Kenya and North America. Discounting products to schools (25%) and nonprofits (15%) and have done that since they started. Provide Compostable lunch trays at cost to schools to replace Styrofoam trays with a total donation of over $126,000 in 2009. Regularly audit outsourced factories under Fair Labor Organization guidelines, to ensure fair wages and working conditions for workers. Power their office using renewable energy (a combination of wind and solar) and strive to be a zero-waste office. Proivde $250 per month reimbursement for employees to take public transportation. Have hosted Environmental and social justice speakers and film series since 2004 and regularly host other community events. World Centric Values Integrity - Being honest and transparent with our suppliers, customers and employees. Authenticity - Doing what we say and what we believe in and not saying one thing, but doing something else. Passion - Bringing our energy, our commitment and enthusiasm to what we do and believe in. Diversity - Respect for divergent perspectives, differing cultures and biodiversity. Respect for life - Value our environment and all life - water, air, plants, trees, insects, animals, and humans Social and economic justice - Encourage fair treatment, fair wages, and equitable sharing of limited resources.

Even if you're a regular visitor to London, it's probably never occurred to you to stop in to see William Shakespeare's original manuscripts at the British Museum or Library. That's just as well. There are no original manuscripts. Not so much as a couplet written in Shakespeare's own hand has been proven to exist. In fact, there's no hard evidence that Will Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon (1564-1616), revered as the greatest author in the English language, could even write a complete sentence.
From This Story
Related Content
Is it any wonder that controversy swirls around the authorship of the 154 sonnets and some 37 plays credited to him? Skeptics have long belittled the notion of a barely educated small-town boy who moves to London to work as an actor and is suddenly writing masterpieces of unrivaled beauty and sophistication. Henry James wrote to a friend in 1903 that he was "haunted by the conviction that the divine William is the biggest and most successful fraud ever practised on a patient world." Other doubters have included Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, Sigmund Freud, Orson Welles and Sir John Gielgud.
At heart, the Shakespeare debate is about more than missing records. It's driven by an unquenchable need to slip past Shakespeare's verses and locate the real-life artist behind them, whoever he or she might be. Little is known about Dante or Chaucer either, but somehow that isn't as nettlesome. "If Shakespeare hadn't been metamorphosed into a god, nobody would think it was worth having an authorship controversy about him," says Jonathan Bate, a Shakespeare expert at the University of Warwick, not far from Stratford.
It's certainly curious that the creator of such vivid, recognizably human characters as Falstaff, Lear and Hamlet should himself remain as insubstantial as stage smoke. The most detailed description of the man left to us by someone who actually knew him, it seems, is a less-than-incisive sentence from his friend and rival, the playwright Ben Jonson: "He was, indeed, honest, and of an open and free nature." That covers a lot of ground. As for Shakespeare's appearance, none of his contemporaries bothered to describe it. Tall or short? Thin or chubby? It's anyone's guess.
An exhibition about the visual side of this quest—the desire to see William Shakespeare's face, literally—is on view through September 17 at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut. "Searching for Shakespeare" brings together eight images of the Bard (six paintings, one engraving and one sculpted bust)—only one of which was likely done from life—along with rare theatrical artifacts and documents. Rendered by long-forgotten artists, each of the six painted portraits surfaced after the playwright's death, in some cases centuries later. "There's something about Shakespeare that connects with those big human issues—who we are, why we feel the way we do, love, jealousy, passion," says Tarnya Cooper, who curated the exhibition at London's National Portrait Gallery, where the portraits exhibit opened last March. "In looking for a portrait of Shakespeare, we want to see traces of those passions in the portrait's face."
Unfortunately, as a flesh-and-blood human being Will Shakespeare of Stratford remains stubbornly out of reach. He was born to an apparently illiterate glove maker and his wife early in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. At 18, he married the pregnant Anne Hathaway, who was eight years his senior. By 21, he had fathered three children. He turns up in the documentary record next at age 28 in London—apparently without his family—working as an actor. He's later listed as a member of a prominent acting troupe, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, and later, the King's Men. His name appears on the title pages of plays printed for popular consumption beginning in his mid-30s. Records show he retired around 1613 and moved back to Stratford, where he died in relative obscurity three years later at 52. And that's about it.
The sketchy paper trail from Shakespeare's life hasn't stopped the publishing industry from issuing a stream of biographies filled with phrases like "may have" and "could have." Last year in the New York Times Book Review, editor Rachel Donadio mused whether Stephen Greenblatt's 2005 biography of the Bard, Will in the World, should be on the fiction or the nonfiction bestseller list.
"There are documents from William Shakespeare's life that concern his career as an actor and theater manager and so on, but there's nothing that suggests a literary life," says Mark Anderson, author of "Shakespeare" by Another Name, an examination of the plays' authorship. "That's what's so damning about the documentary record. The greatest manhunt in literary history has turned up no manuscripts, no letters, no diaries." The only definitive examples of Shakespeare's handwriting are six signatures, all on legal documents. Of course, few letters or diaries of commoners from that time have survived.

If you are worrying about the word "electrical spark noise" , well i don't have any better word for this.
This issue recreates as follows.
1.) Connect a 3.5mm head set to the phone.
2.) Play some music from the player.
3.) pause the music.
4.) Listen the (Electric spark like) noise coming from your head set for a while.
5.) If screen goes black ( locked ) noise stops. (Player still paused)
If you want to listen to this more clearly find an audio cable with 3.5mm jacks in both ends,
Plug the other end to your stereo system. Do the same above steps.
Problem is : This noise continues in background when the player playing some music.
This happens with the default head set given by SE,
as well as beats by dre and candy skull head sets. ( or use any noise cancellation head set)
Please solve this annoying noise. Really appreciate the help.
yes i noticed the same in my car system but not in headsets..
yeah, even if you use high quality head set (with noise cancellation ear buds) this annoying electric sparks can be heard.
Any reply from SE ?
Thank you yasaasmax, I have been trying to explain this problem in a thrread few days back. I sometimes get frightened when this electric spark is heard. This issue is also present in the iPod touches but very very rare. Like once in a month when changing songs. But, on the LWW, when listening to music using the in-ear headphones, this sound is heard when changing a song and simetimes when loading a game when listening to music.
SONY, please fix this otherwise SHAME on you for not fixing this simple problem.
yeah, i think more likely this seems to be a hardware issue ( i'm not so certain about that). Because
electrial signal is passing to the head set even the player is in pause state.
But in LWW it's worse. that noise continues in the back ground even when the player is running.
I think here we have two scenarios.
1.) Big electric beep pattern when we connect this device to a head set/ stereo system.
2.) Background electric noise while playing/ paused from any media player
However , really appreciate SE can fix or pay some attention on this issue.
I wonder why no SE representative has given any response yet.
Ok, I did some testing yesterday. The issue is related to the cpu not giving the walkman player enough priority. I started by downloading poweramp and google music. Fixed their settings. Played some music through the speaker and the haedset with both players. VOILA!! no static noise. Then, I used avast! mobile antivirus to see how many threads these players were using. The number of threads these two players were using were more high than the walkman player. Then, as soon as I started playing with the walkman player, THE NOISE WAS BACK AGAIN. I also noticed the sound from my speaker during testing.
SO, my conclusion is this issue is hardware and software. The walkman music player must be developed with better "wakelock" api and must be given higher priority.
Hello, I have same problem, electrostatic noise when playing music on minimal volume, but noise is gone when i plug charger in phone. I go with my wt19i in service center, they say " there is no problem,
no electrostatic noise". They only upgrade 4.0.2.A.0.62. But problem still here. The authorized service center isn't competent of this problem. What i need to do in this situation?
p.s Im from Russia, sorry for my bad English.
Woow. Indeed. as you said , noise has gone when i connect the the phone through usb cable.
Thank you voines88 pointing out that.
So my feeling is this is definetely something related to the hardware circuits.
Yes, its hardware problem...but my Service Center dont see these problem. im so sad,because this is my first sony android smartphone.

The Ottawa Senators expect to have reigning Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson back as soon as soon he can get himself in game-ready condition.
The Senators announced Friday that Karlsson was cleared for contact, just two months and five days after he had surgery to repair a torn left Achilles tendon. The original estimate was that Karlsson would be sidelined for six months.
He skated with the team Friday, and everyone in the organization is being careful not to set a timetable on his return. He has been skating for about three weeks, suggesting that he definitely should be ready by the playoffs or before. The Senators have five games left in the regular-season. The playoffs start in less than two weeks.
Karlsson, the league's most dynamic puck-moving defenseman, was injured Feb. 13 when he was stepped on by Pittsburgh forward Matt Cooke. Karlsson had 10 points in 14 games at the time of his injury, and was considered to have a good chance to repeat as the Norris winner.
Without Karlsson and injured forward Jason Spezza, the Senators have still managed to thus far hold sixth place in the Eastern Conference.

Resources for Equity Core Teams
Equity Core Teams
Equity Core teams are groups of 4 -5 people within each division representing various perspectives and departments. These teams consist of individuals deeply committed to institutional equity and social justice praxis. This group will work together on guiding the equity planning process within their division. Specifically, the equity core team will focus on the following:
Each division will have flexibility and choice regarding the areas of equity, social justice, and multicultural education to focus on as well as format, structure, and process of engagement. Moving forward, each division is asked to commit to updating their student equity plans annually, conducting every five years a much deeper equity strategic plan and climate assessment. The goal is to support the campus community in not only closing the racial and teaching achievement gap/opportunity gap but to also deepen our sense of cultural humility and develop skills for helping each person, and especially, our most vulnerable students, faculty, and classified professionals thrive.
Divisional Equity Liaisons
The role of diversity equity liaison is being created to formalize a partnership and institutional linkages between the Office of Equity, the Equity Action Council, and De Anza's 16 divisions. The divisional liaisons will serve on both their division equity core team as well as the Equity Action Committee. They will provide invaluable insight and guidance regarding divisional concerns, challenges, implementation successes, and effectiveness of campus equity and social justice efforts.
The divisional equity liaisons –in partnership with their equity core team- will also support their respective divisions in completing, implementing, and evaluating their annual equity plans. Equity liaisons' will work closely with their dean, EAC, and Office of Equity to identify critical areas of growth and help guide strategic planning efforts related to these equity plans.
Equity Planning Checklist
The process of division or department equity planning is an exciting opportunity to reassess shared vision, mission, and goals and focus on deepening practices that will result in educational equity. Additionally, an essential component of equity planning is considering the shared values we bring to our work and how best to put the values of equity, social justice, and multicultural education into daily practice.
An important first step in this process is securing your guidance or leadership team; an equity core team. In order to have these conversations, which can be difficult, it is important to have a leadership team (i.e., equity core team) committed to guiding the process, deepening their own cultural humility, and modeling the virtues of social justice consciousness. The accountable person for pulling together the equity core team may be the Equity Action Council Liaison or another member of the team. It is recommended that this team meet weekly for strategic planning and shared support. The following checklist is a tool to assist the equity core team in preparing to guide the equity planning process.
Equity Core Team members will have an opportunity to attend an orientation and skills building workshops annually.

National Gallery of Australia unveils major painting
by Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri - Warlugulong 1977
11 September 2007
Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri 'Warlugulong' 1977 synthetic polymer paint on canvas Collection of the National Gallery of Australia Purchased with the generous assistance of Roslynne Bracher and the Paspaley Family, David Coe and Michelle Coe, Charles Curran and Eva Curran © the estate of the artist licensed by Aboriginal Artists Agency 2007 click here to zoom
The National Gallery of Australia is delighted to unveil the recently acquired Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri painting Warlugulong 1977. This highly significant work of art was acquired for $2.4 million as part of the 25th Anniversary Gifts Program and is one of several major acquisitions celebrating the National Gallery of Australia's 25th Anniversary.
The purchase of Warlugulong 1977 has been made possible by the generous assistance of Roslynne Bracher and the Paspaley Family, David Coe and Michelle Coe, and Charles Curran and Eva Curran. The National Gallery of Australia is greatly appreciative of the benefactors support for the painting and the 25th Anniversary Gifts Program.
The work of art by Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, a founding member of the Papunya Tula art movement is an important addition to the National Gallery's collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, the largest collection in Australia. Warlugulong 1977, one of his seminal works, is regarded as one of the key Australian paintings of the 20th century and certainly one of the greatest Western Desert paintings. It will be a core work for the main Central Australian Room in the Gallery's new wing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, which will commence construction next month.
From 1976 to 1979 Tjapaltjarri produced a series of five large innovative canvases that mapped out his ancestral lands and their Dreaming stories in such a way as to integrate the sacred diagrams of ceremonial ground paintings and the topographical conventions of European maps. No Western Desert painter had attempted this approach before and these are amongst the first large canvases ever produced from this ground breaking movement.
The painting Warlugulong 1977 reveals five Dreaming stories. The main story Warlugulong (Bushfire Dreaming) relates to a father (Lungkata, the Blue-Tongue Lizard Man) who discovers his two sons had killed, cooked and eaten a kangaroo without sharing it (as is customary). In anger and wanting to teach them a lesson, he blew on his fire stick until it glowed. He held it to a bush which exploded into flames. A raging fire roared towards the sons who tried in vain to fight it but they soon perished (their skeletons can be seen to the right).
Other stories include a large group of emus returning to Napperby; joyously dancing women; Mala (Rock Wallaby) men traveling north from Port Augusta in South Australia; the Chase of the Goanna Men; the tracks of Tjangala and Nungurrayi Dingoes traveling to Warrabri; the footprints left by the Tjungurrayi Man who tried to steal secret/sacred cultural objects; a family traveling to a site known as Ngama; the tracks of Upambura, the Possum Man – the artist's totem – all traversing the canvas in a multitude of directions.
Warlugulong 1977 is now on permanent display at National Gallery of Australia.

Downtown Bangor's Outdoor Market has returned for the summer, with jewelry, crafts, food, and music available from 5-8 on Thursday evenings through July. Market dates and a list of performers are here. I'm so disappointed we missed the Elvis impersonator!
Last night we picked up a loaf of Breadbox Bakery's sticky cinnamon bread and some Fieldstone Farms spiced apple preserves, made right up the hill on French Street.
Breadbox also had some deliciously crunchy homemade sesame crackers and garlic hummus.
Need a wooden spoon? The seller said each one takes him three hours to carve.
Sleepy downtown Bangor is trying to wake up for the summer. If you're in town, come spend a rainy Friday evening drinking cheap martinis, listening to jazz, and visiting local artists at tonight's downtown art walk. If you're not in Bangor, you could still do those first two things from the comfort of your own living room. Either way, enjoy!

Shop Sofas
Your sofa is probably one of the hardest working pieces of furniture in your home. Most of your family's activities happen in the living room and your sofa is the centerpiece; you sit and talk, watch TV, read, nap, and play, all on your sofa. When you begin looking for a new sofa, it's important to consider who is going...
to be using the sofa and how it is going to be used. For some people, they want a traditional style to be used in a more formal sitting room and others need a sofa that can stand up to everyday wear and tear. The Sofa Store by Home Gallery Stores features a vast selection of upholstered and leather couches in all styles, ranging from traditional to contemporary, to help complete the look of your living room.
There are many different types of sofas with looks and features to fit what is important to you. If you frequently have out-of-town guests but do not have a spare bedroom, a sleeper sofa may be a good investment. Or if you want to take the level of comfort up a notch, opt for a reclining sofa. Reclining sofas can either be manual or powered, so that there is a comfortable and convenient option for everyone. There are contemporary sofas that are low to the ground or traditional three-person, stationary styles. If you have a large family or often need extra seating, check out The Sectional Sofa Store by Home Gallery Stores to see all of our stationary, reclining, and chaise sectionals.
Once you've chosen the type, look at the different features, such as seat cushions, back cushions, shape, and frame that make up the overall style. Do you want a traditional stationary sofa in a neutral color that can easily work with all types of décor? Or are you looking for a bolder choice that is going to be the focal point of your living room? Look at your current home décor style and decide what will work best or maybe you want to redecorate and go with something completely different — only you can decide what is best for your home. The last piece of the puzzle is to measure how much room you have. Measuring the length and depth ahead of time helps you avoid being surprised when your sofa is delivered and you find you will need to return it. If you have any questions about our sofas, please call or email one of our trained sales staff who would be happy to help.

There are times when I am conceptualizing work for later writing when I have an idea I feel is worth preserving. It might be a simple setting, a specific interaction between characters or even a major plot point. Unlike some better organized people who take notes or keep a journal, I put these ideas down in story. It's like committing it to memory but a little better because at least a hint of my thought process and emotion remains in the story.
Also, it has the added benefit of being re-read later when I have the opportunity to purge any awful ideas I might have been working with.
This Friday's story is something of a postscript to Master of the House/House of Cards. It follows Katrina into the start of a new life and sets the stage for either the fourth or fifth book in this series (haven't decided the order yet…)
As this story is more of a vignette than I typically put up here, it may be worth clicking the links as you go for additional information on the characters and places. Enjoy.
Prodigal Daughter
Alexander coughed into a handkerchief and went through the painful motions as his body wretched with spasms. This was nothing new for the young man. His body had been afflicted with a terrible condition since his youth that had left him frail. Unlike others who were afflicted with the "Consumption", Alexander had lived a surprisingly long life. Despite this, he would never go so far as to call himself fortunate.
Though his body bent to appease the cough, his eyes kept forward. This particular coughing spell was a simple lie, a distraction.
Something was happening in the Abby and the opportunity to find out precisely what it was would only require being in the right place at the right time.
The Council of Bishops was in an uproar. Things were happening and they were happening quickly in response to an issue that he had not been informed of.
Most unusual, he thought to himself.
With his father, the renown Warrior Priest Alexander the 1st sitting at the head of the Council of Bishops, the son had become accustom to having every bit of his father's information in his hands before it was public knowledge. Despite his considerable frailty, the junior Alexander was a devastatingly clever statesman and though he could not wear the sword and shield himself, he was a brilliant tactician.
These things gave him great favor in his father's court and to now be left out of whatever events were transpiring told the younger Alexander that something serious was afoot. He could see the Paladin taking notice of his coughing spell and then motion for several more elite Paladin troops to move towards the building's roof.
It was more than being left out of what was going on.
He was being shut out.
There was no clearer sign to him that this matter needed his attention.
The ground below their flying vessel had revealed little to them aside from a lush green tree canopy for some time now. Seeing that it was beginning to break up, for clearings to be visible outside her window, Katrina knew that they were close to their destination. They would be arriving in the Great City State of New Raj shortly.
Katrina looked to where Kimberly sat opposite of her in the 'Copter. Tin's younger siblings, Verity and David were curled up against Kimberly. For her own part, Kimberly was trying not to fall asleep too.
Katrina smiled at this. It was as though Kimberly was meant to have children around her, something Katrina never really saw in her own future.
To her right, Alex sat with her kneels pulled up against her chest. She was focused intently on sharpening the various blades that were kept on her person. This girl had grown up in the wild parts of Britannia. Despite her age, she had known nothing other than civil war and strife. The short time she had been allowed to live freely in Seaside prior to its burning was probably the most normal her life had ever been.
Now Katrina was going to deliver her to The Order. That hard upbringing would be put to good use. She would grow up strong and secure for it. Nothing in Alex's future would be easy going forward but she was used to that. The hardships that would be put to her now would mold her and teach her. It would be for the best.
Katrina nearly smiled; perhaps she was more motherly than she was willing to admit. She looked out the 'Copter window to see the approaching sight of New Raj.
The Shining City.
Her home.
It was the source of all her strength, her training, and ultimately her doubts.
She left in shame and would now return as a herald of ill omen. Just the same, this omen was something that New Raj had been preparing for. They had been given a thousand years to steel themselves against it and no great city state was as well prepared for the words she was bringing to bear.
Words of death, of calamity, of a dark past come calling for its due.
These words would be the very thing that would open their arms to her once again. Hearing her speak and seeing the knife Dori gave her…it would be enough to reclaim her place among them…she hoped.
She had to hope; at this point it was all she could do. Feeling helpless in front of these people was something that she swore would never befall her again. Her resolve would need to be unshakable in this endeavor.
Returning home seemed so simple when she made the decision in Seaside. Now faced with the realities of her choices and the lives now in her care, the weight of her choices pressed down on Katrina and gave rise to fear unlike any she had ever known.
It was not fear of combat. For her, that did not exist. It was not fear of the unknown, for that was pointless and needless in times like these. It was something that she had not ever truly encountered, even when faced with her exile. That had been a matter of self-loathing.
This was doubt. Pure, unadulterated self-doubt. For a Paladin, this should not exist.
Alex poked her in the arm. While getting lost in thought, Katrina had failed to notice that the girl went towards the window and was now paying great attention to the City State looming in the distance.
"It's pretty." Alex said earnestly. "Britannia looks like a real shit-hole by comparison."
Katrina smirked and then a wicked grin came to her face.
"They will not let you speak as such within the Order."
"I bet I know swear words that they don't even know are swear words though. I'll be fine."
Katrina realized that she had no doubts about that. Perhaps her other doubts were misplaced as well.
As the 'Copter began its decent into New Raj, Katrina's self-doubt was replaced with a sense of righteousness. It was not vanity or pride that stirred these emotions. She knew in her heart that she alone had taken the hardest path to bear and was now returning to face her past, her demons, and her mistakes. This was everything her faith had stressed as its core teachings. Righteousness was hers to claim because for Katrina, she could do so without delusion.
The 'copter blades began to slow. The vessel began its descent.
Where there had been doubt, there was now only duty.
They would know her authority by the strength of her word.
Alexander saw the approaching 'Copter and followed the Paladins to the roof in secret to discover what was garnering so much attention. It was true that flights were not routinely permitted to land in Capitol Square but it was not uncommon. At the very least, it was not an event worthy of such a large scale response.
A contingent of twenty Paladins awaited the flight as the rickety machine touched down. The downward force of the wind from its blades pressed heavily on Alexander and his frailty was openly shown to him yet again. The Paladins stood resolved with stone cold faces awaiting the passengers of the flight. Another time and place might have left him cursing his condition, instead he found himself asking a simple question.
Who could be drawing this much attention?
To Alexander's surprise, it was not an elder statesman nor was it a group of visiting dignitaries. The person who exited the 'Copter did not wear the symbol of Britannia's Governor. To his great surprise, it was one of their own. A female Paladin emerged.
Her armor was old and perhaps less polished than he was accustom to seeing but there was a battle-weariness to her that Alexander rarely saw in those who currently served. Her hair was cut short in contrast to the Paladin maidens who kept their hair long as a point of pride in their order.
Something was amiss. Without understanding why, Alexander spoke an old phrase in the Origin Language to himself.
"Vou volver da guerra, o pelo rapado e cicatrices da batalla será gravado nos meus ollos."
In a city built on faith, Alexander had treated his studies academically rather than as a matter of spiritual growth. Memorization, historical accounts, dates and names all worked together to build his understanding of his city's soul. Something about this day and this arrival gnawed at him. He repeated the old phrase, this time in Common, hoping that he might better hear the meaning.
"I will return from war, my hair shorn and the scars of battle shall be etched into my eyes."
It was the tale of the fallen warrior, who left a people and returned with their salvation. Alexander knew now that his event was as important as it seemed. Why he should be excluded from it or why his father was not here now, these questions distracted him long enough for events to take their own reigns.
The Paladin in charge of the gathering spoke to the woman. Alexander knew him as Robert but as for his exact title, Alexander always had difficulty remembering those damnably long claims.
"You are no longer welcome here. Return from whence you came and you shall see no trouble today. Refuse and we will be forced to act as members of the Holy Order."
The female Paladin seemed to ignore the words of threat. Instead, she turned back into the 'copter and helped a younger girl disembark. Patiently, the female Paladin instructed the younger woman to hand over her sword and shield. It was as though she were training a squire as she spoke, patiently correcting the way in which the younger woman held the weaponry and then in how she offered them over.
The Paladins of the Order did not take kindly to being ignored. Alexander could not help but snigger quietly to himself at the scene. Robert took a step forward before beginning to repeat himself.
The female Paladin cut him off with a resounding response.
"I heard you the first time. You will address me as Lady Katrina. Now, be silent while I attend to our guests."
Her voice carried weight and power to it. Those who stood opposed to her were physically taken back by the stern nature of her answer.
Robert could not and would not attempt to hide his disgust.
"You have no title. You have no claim…"
Katrina spun on her heel and confronted the man with a glare that invited reprisal. She was outnumbered here but still managing to act as though it were those around her who were in danger.
"Title? Claim? I am a Glorious Paladin of the Shining Rajian Order in Service of the One True God. You have not the will to stand in my way. The guiding stars have fallen beyond the horizon and I come bearing word from the south. I will not be…dismissed no matter what previous transgressions I am guilty of."
She paused, allowing those words in particular to have their intended effect on those standing around her.
"The time of trial is at hand. The land is about to break. All your titles and all of your claims will be called into question should you not heed my words of warning."
Several of the more faithful Paladins who were well versed in the old texts began to look about nervously. They were beginning to come to similar lines of thought that Alexander had arrived at. This was more than they had been led to believe it was. The man who spoke for them, the Paladin known as Robert, stayed true to his duties. He would not be deceived.
"You have been cast out and down from our Order. You have not the authority to speak of such things."
"Oh, but I have." Alexander called out from his hiding place, now certain that he would need to take direction involvement in this matter. Alexander would not allow this moment to pass without hearing the woman's story. Stepping out of the shadows, he walked through the ranks of the Paladins to stand next to the one now confronting Lady Katrina.
"I do not know why or by whose authority I was left out of these matters, but I would hear these words."
Alexander moved between the conflicting forces and spoke with an ease that belied his frail form. When addressing people in public, his bouts of coughing were rare. It was as though being in front of people gave him a clarity of mind and body that triumphed over even his fundamental frailties.
"Clearly this is a matter of some importance else I would not be left out of it and you my friends would not have been asked to so forcefully remove someone who's grand crimes amounted to…fraternization."
Alexander looked sternly at Katrina, "Yes, I know of you even though we have not met previously. There is little of the Order that I do not know hence my current curiosity."
He turned back to face the gathered Paladins, "Now, if her claims are true and we fail to hear her warnings…then you, I, and all those who serve would be remiss in our duty. Would you not agree Master Paladin?"
The Paladin in command, Robert looked as though he were about to apologize. Alexander's status as a prominent statesman had immediately stolen command of the situation. The waiting Paladins were now clearly under his authority and were sheathing their blades in compliance with his wishes.
Their commander gritted his teeth and cast a glance downward before apologizing.
"I..am sorry Sire. However, my orders still stand."
To the surprise of everyone and especially Alexander, the man charged Katrina. His blade posed for death, he had sacrificed his honor at this very moment to see through an order. Katrina could hardly fault him for it.
She could however fault him for his catastrophically clumsy attack and the poor manner in which he charged her with a lazy guard. Katrina slipped by his blade and drove her elbow up into his shoulder joint making any further movement of his sword nearly impossible. She then spun with a savage fury and struck the man's face with her gauntlet, driving him to the ground in a heap.
It had been far easier to dispatch this Paladin than…
At once Katrina realized that the Paladin who attacked her did so out of duty but at the same time, he had purposely thrown the fight to allow her the opportunity to speak in front of Alexander. The man could not be dishonored for doing his duty and failing in the face of superior skill. It was quite clever really.
The young woman accompanying Katrina rushed over and kicked the felled Paladin on the ground before drawing her knife.
"That's what you get stupid!" Alex roared in anger at the insult this man had brought to Katrina. She kicked him again before Katrina called her back.
She was loyal and that was more important for now than her inability to see through the situation. For now, she would have to be called down.
"Alex, back away. See to Kimberly and the children. Tell them that things are alright and not to worry."
Alex looked at Katrina's felled opponent and kicked him once more for good measure.
"Idiot. Don't ever draw a blade against her again."
She backed up from the Paladin before doing as she was told.
Katrina stepped toward her fallen opponent and offered him a hand up. The Paladin hesitated only briefly before accepting and then stepping back. He left his sword where it had fallen on the ground and Katrina's eyes fixed to him until he was far enough away from it for her liking.
It was then that Katrina drew a long knife. She appeared to weigh it in her hands for a moment before offering it to her defeated opponent. Robert took the blade after Katrina pushed it again in his direction.
"Black steel, forged ages ago to fight against an evil that you have known all your lives. Those of you that follow the passing of the stars at night know that something is changing. I have seen this threat first hand. Even now it festers in Seaside, readying itself for a war too long delayed. Envy, Queen of Jealousy, Breaker of the Word, Scourge of Life…she amasses an army in Seaside. The actions…the very lives of people I love have been given to hinder her in this endeavor. It falls to New Raj to ready the armies of man in response to this threat. This blade is proof of my claim."
Robert looked the blade over; its steely finish seemed to crawl with shadows beneath the surface. Memories that were not his own offered to seep into his blood. The anguish and rage of one particular foe called out with a hate that the Paladin had never before understood.
"Elven in origin and infused with powerful magics, the Herald will seek this blade out. It had wounded Envy once. All your priests must do is examine it and there will be no doubt…"
Katrina's defeated opponent, his face once framed only with duty began to feel the oppressive weight of the burden in his hands. He turned to Alexander with eyes watering, the shame of his words and actions were overcoming his better senses.
Alexander watched the curious event. The Paladins of New Raj has been trained with their duty to the City State and to their fellow citizens as the framework for their entire lives. There was only one thing that could move them beyond that. Wisely inserted into their training since the founding of the Order, simple faith was the cornerstone of their lives. Pluck at that string, shift that stone, and the whole house rocks at its foundation.
Robert took a knee before Katrina and offered the blade back to her.
"By your order, Sidar."
The other Paladins began to sink to their knees before Katrina as well. She did not refuse them and she did not shirk back in embarrassment. Alexander knew there was honor to be had here but he could see that this was yet another burden the woman was taking on.
What was impressed upon Alexander at this very moment was the peculiar title the Paladin had addressed Katrina with.
In the old language, it was a title that meant "Defender of the Faith". The Britannians used it all too casually to refer to their head Templar. This title was bestowed once a generation in New Raj…if that. Alexander pondered the scene a moment longer. Robert, despite his rank, had no authority to grant such a title. As Sidar, Katrina could rightfully take command of the entire Order. If she so chose, New Raj would bend to her will.
There was no doubt that if this elite group of loyal Paladins could find favor in this fallen warrior, then others would surely seek her banner out as well. At once it was clear as to why she was to be denied entrance into the city.
Alexander watched at a distance as Lady Katrina approached the other Paladins one by one and beckoned them to stand up. He saw inspired devotion beginning to form on their faces. He saw an easy leadership in this supposed Sidar. He saw no reason to deny her either.
That created the real problem in his mind. Alexander saw and believed the words and warnings brought about by this woman. There was no doubt in his mind that this accidental coup would harden the hearts of his father and anyone else who stood to lose privilege and status as a result of her arrival.
His father was an honorable man after all but the jealousy that such an event might inspire in a man of privilege…
All at once, Alexander understood. It was all so crystal clear. If her story had any ring of truth to it…then it was not so difficult to think that Envy might have…
Alexander approached the group.
"Lady Katrina…Lord Robert…I would start by suggesting caution. This incident here was clearly staged in one form or another. Even if Lady Katrina is presented as the genuine article before the Order, the politics of the thing will ensure that she is never heard."
Katrina eyed him with a hint of a smile forming, "What do you suggest?"
"Subtlety. This Herald of yours is coming soon, yes?"
Katrina nodded.
"If that is what is important, then there can be no more of this Sidar business for now. You will require an alliance with my father to be heard by the Council of Bishops. Claiming that title will only put you at odds with him."
Alexander expected the other Paladins to refute him but they turned to Katrina.
This would be difficult.
Katrina only grinned. "You're clever. You remind me of a friend I left behind in Seaside. Alexander was it?"
He nodded.
Katrina knelt before him.
"Then I return to New Raj Lord Alexander, seeking absolution and to reclaim my place among your order."
Alexander grasped her by the collar and pulled her up from the ground.
"Rise up prodigal daughter and reclaim your birthright. We have much to discuss…Sidar."

DUBAI, U.A.E., 14th November 2012: Emirates, one of the world's fastest-growing international airlines, is responding to strong passenger and cargo demand in Nigeria, by upgrading one of its Lagos flights to a Boeing 777-300, making both dailies serviced by Boeing 777s .
The Airbus 340-500 currently deployed on one of Lagos' two daily flights, EK781, will be replaced with a larger Boeing 777-300ER from 1st December, giving a 48% boost to seat capacity.
"Deploying a Boeing 777 on the Dubai-Lagos route demonstrates the strong demand from travellers to fly with Emirates and experience our superior products and services," said Jean Luc Grillet, Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations for Africa. "The aircraft upgrade will open up more seats to our customers travelling to and from Nigeria and further raise Emirates' contribution to Nigeria's economy."
Throughout the aircraft, passengers will enjoy Emirates' award-winning 'ice' Digital Widescreen, the industry's most sophisticated video and audio system, offering 1,400 channels of on-demand entertainment - the largest selection of programming in the sky.
"With the introduction of this larger aircraft, we will offer over 10,000 seats every week to and from Lagos. This aircraft upgrade will offer travellers from West Africa markets seamless connections to the Indian Subcontinent, East Asia and Australasia, via Emirates Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport," Jean Luc added.
Nigeria has been part of Emirates' route network since January 2004, when services were launched between Dubai and Lagos with four flights a week. From 1st December, the Dubai-Lagos service will be operated twice a day by a Boeing 777 aircraft in a three-class configuration that offers 12 luxurious First Class seats, 42 seats in Business Class and generous space for 310 passengers in Economy Class.
The Boeing 777-300ER is the backbone of the Emirates fleet, with 91 in service and a further 72 on order.
EK flight 0784 leaves Lagos daily at 14455hrs and arrives in Dubai at 0105hrs. From Dubai, EK 0783 departs at 0735hrs and arrives in Dubai at 1255hrs.
The second daily flight EK0782 departs Lagos at 2130hrs and arrives in Dubai at 0740. The return journey, flight EK 0781, departs Dubai at 1420hrs, arriving in Lagos at 1955 hours.
Emirates has a fleet of 189 aircraft and are the world's largest A380 and Boeing 777 operator, flying to 126 destinations in 74 countries.

|Meeting Description:
|Recent discussions in the field of foreign language teaching and learning have concerned many new aspects: including the task-based definition of learning goals, the clear differentiation of competence levels, and the introduction of binding quality standards. These discussions have also pursued the goal of improving the efficiency and success of foreign language learning processes. However, the learning processes themselves have only been taken into consideration to a much lesser extent.
The aim of the 4th Bremen Symposion is to reflect more deeply on these learning processes. The conference will focus on the following questions: How do foreign and multilingual learning processes take place, what initiates them and keeps them going, which institutional, social and media-related frameworks are needed, and which classroom and/or autonomous learning arrangements are best for fostering these learning processes and can lead to desired results.
It is worth asking these questions because in order to answer them we are able to take advantage of the findings of research in the field of foreign language learning and teaching, as well as the work and the experience of the practitioners in the language centres. In their attempts to understand the complex interaction of the numerous aspects influencing foreign language learning processes, both researches and practitioners have generated a wealth of insights. This, on the other hand, entails an increasing need for orientation through selection, weighting and classification.

|In response to Re: septic system
: Debbie: A sand filter system is used generally where the lay of the land does not lend itself to the typical drain field installation. In some cases it is used if the ground percolation characteristics are less than suitable.
: The key to its operation is in that a large hole is excavated 8'-10' deep and a open bottomed reinforced masonry box is constructed (like the basement and foundation for a small house, but without any floor.) This box typically extends 6 or 8 feet above grade and is filled with coarse builders sand. The liquid portion of the sanitary effluent from the septic tank is pumped to and discharged into distribution piping at the top of the sand filter. Gravity does the rest...as the effluent makes its way down through
: the sand filter, it forces its way into the soil beneath the filter and out into the surrounding area. Beause of the altitude of the sand filter structure, and the inpermeability of the walls, the effluent develops a head pressure of several psi to drive the liquid discharge into the ground.
: This type of system will work where a traditional drain field is not possible due to hilly terrain or "perk" problems, it can be a fairly expensive means to install however. Bud
Bud: Thank-you for letting me know something about this system, what need to also know is does this system need to have the sand changed every couple of years also does it smell in your ard from this system, the area i'm talking about is a high water table. Again asap with an answer. Thanks.

Wisconsin County Judge Strikes Down Part of Scott Walker's Anti-Union Law
Good news out of Wisconsin, or for now at least. Dane County Circuit Court Judge Juan B. Colas overturned Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's anti-union law earlier today, or at least the parts in regards to city, county, and school districts. State employees weren't covered in the ruling.
Judge Colás said the Republican-backed measure, which led to huge union protests, violated union members' freedom of speech and association as well as the equal protection of the laws by subjecting them to penalties not faced by nonunion public employees.
Judge Colás said the law improperly punished workers who exercised their freedom of association to unionize by limiting them to smaller raises (generally no higher than the inflation rate) than nonunion workers could receive.
Naturally, Scott Walker isn't thrilled, and will appeal the decision:
"Sadly, a liberal activist judge in Dane County wants to go backwards and take away the lawmaking responsibilities of the Legislature and the governor," said Mr. Walker, a Republican. "We are confident that the state will ultimately prevail in the appeals process."
However, legal experts disagree, saying the decision falls within Colas's powers.
Andrew Coan, an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin Law School, said that while he could not comment on the merits of the case, in general "it is well within the scope of a trial judge's authority to issue an order declaring a state law unconstitutional."
One can only imagine what Walker, the Kochs and other right-wing heavyweights are scheming up to retaliate, but for now this is great news, especially in light of the on-going teacher's strike in Chicago.

Dissecting Earnings Recognition Timeliness
Ryan T. Ball
The Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan
Peter D. Easton
University of Notre Dame - Department of Accountancy
May 2013
Chicago Booth Research Paper No. 11-18
We dissect the portion of stock price change of the fiscal year that is recognized in reported accounting earnings of the year. We call this portion earnings recognition timeliness (ERT). The emphasis in our dissection is on empirical identification of two fundamental precepts of financial accounting: (1) the matching principle, which is manifested in the recognition of expenses in the same period as the related benefits (i.e., sales revenue) accrue; and, (2) recognition of expenses in the current period due to changes in expectations regarding earnings of future periods (we refer to these expenses as the expectations element of expenses). Although the expectations element has implicitly been at the core of much of the recent empirical literature on asymmetry in the earnings/return relation, it has not been explicitly identified. This recent literature is based on the premise that bad news about the future leads to more recognition of expenses in the current period (such as write-downs) whereas good news about the future tends to have a much lesser effect on expenses of the current period; asymmetry in the expenses/return relation is captured implicitly via the observation of asymmetry in the earnings/return relation (i.e., asymmetry in ERT). Since the ERT reflects the relation between sales revenue and returns, matched expenses and returns, as well as the relation between the expectations element of expenses and returns, a focus on the expectations element may lead to sharper inferences. Our straightforward empirical procedure permits a focus on this element.
