Actually comfortable, but may stretch.
"This shoe is perfect for wearing with a nice pair of jeans or a nice sundress with a hint of navy blue & white in it. However, if you have a wide foot or your feet swell, do not wear these shoes for a long period of time; they will stretch out of place but not too much to the point they look worn out or cheap. They're still a nice navy sandle for outdoors or Friday casual work days."

Classy Comfort
"These are my favorite "go to work" shoes. I wear mostly dark dress pants and these shoes class up my business casual look. The material allows for maximum movement and "stretch" for great comfort. The low heel is a just-right height to give lift without being hard on the ankles after a long day. The LifeStride brand is comfortable for sure and it's even better when the shoe is stylish, subtle and sophisticated."

Not comfortable-feet slide
"I was very disappointed in these Life Stride shoes (and I love this brand). When I walk my foot goes through the open toe, extending quite a bit and then the back of my foot slides off. The first time I wore them with stockings and I thought that might be the problem, but the next time I did not wear stockings and the same thing happened. The size is correct. Would not recommend"

Skip to comments.More Catholics leaning towards Democrats, poll reports
Posted on 06/25/2008 1:38:23 PM PDT by NYer
.- A new survey from Georgetown Universitys Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) indicates that Catholics may lean towards voting for the Democratic candidate for president in the 2008 election.
The CARA polling shows that only 21 percent of all Catholics are either strongly or weakly affiliated with the Republican Party in 2008, compared to 31 percent in 2004. Fewer Catholics identify themselves as Republicans than in any year since 2000.
Among all adult Catholics, 38 percent identify as a weak or strong Democrat, while 22 percent lean Democratic.
Republicans are found to be more numerous among the general electorate Catholic population, with 28 percent identifying themselves as Republicans and 17 percent saying they lean Republican. However, Catholics who attend Mass weekly are still more likely to be Democrats, with 37 percent self-identifying with the party and another 18 percent saying they lean Democrat.
Overall, these shifting Catholic attitude trends, less support for the use of U.S. military force, more support for higher taxes for wealthy Americans, and increasing acceptance of immigration, may favor the Democrats and Obama, said Mark Gray, the director of CARA Catholic polls.
Gray said that Democrats still must mobilize well to take advantage of their edge among Catholic voters. In the past two presidential elections the Republicans have been noted to be more effective at mobilizing voters using religion and religious organizationsoften using the issue of abortion, Gray said.
The CARA poll results suggest a shift in Catholics views on several major issues. In 2002, before the Iraq war, 63 percent of adult Catholics agreed somewhat or strongly with the statement that The U.S. should be willing to use military force to overthrow governments that support terrorism against the U.S., even if it mean losing lives of U.S. service members. In 2006, only 43 percent agreed.
Catholic support for a tax on the wealthiest Americans has increased from 52 percent in 2002 to 65 percent in 2006. Catholics are also less likely to agree that the number of immigrants permitted entry into the U.S. should be decreased, with agreement down from 65 percent in 2002 to 54 percent in 2006.
According to the study, pro-abortion sentiment has slightly increased among adult Catholics. In 2002, 55 percent somewhat or strongly agreed with the statement A woman should have the right to choose to abort an unwanted pregnancy. In 2006, the percentage in agreement increased to 58 percent.
What a massive catastrophic failure of catechesis.
What hath VII wrought?
Overall, these shifting Catholic attitude trends, less support for the use of U.S. military force, more support for higher taxes for wealthy Americans, and increasing acceptance of immigration, may favor the Democrats and Obama, said Mark Gray, the director of CARA Catholic polls."
The fruits of Jorge's Open Border Policies with Mexico.
The Kennedy's are all "good Catholics" so it is not surprising. When I was a kid we would chant "Rat, rat, Democrat" And we were Catholic. But times have changed.
What are the stats for us Catholics that take our faith seriously? CINOs are generally Democrats.
I don't pretend to be a good Catholic but why would anyone of *any* Christian faith vote for a Democrat?
Totally disgusting that one who supports free-for-all sex and abortion on demand even during labor, should be supported by such a large group of Catholics in America is truly a sad slide into apostacy.
Seems the Catholic Church isn't doing such a good job against the gates of hell after all...
This is absurd BS.
More Catholics leaning towards Democrats, poll reports?
Not this Catholic.
Which side are you rooting for?
Agenda driven polls are not accurate, not news, and not worth discussing.
I'm not surprised that 99% of Catholics In Name Only are Democrats.
It's sickening, I know. My Catholic family members always voted Democrat and still do, but that was back when there were pro-life Dems.
Why blame Vatican II? This is what the Catholic Bishops wrought.
When will the Bishops control the Catholic leadership of the Democrat party? They are also THE leadership of the Democrat party.
Why are the two most heavily "Catholic" states the most sinful and disobedient to the Vatican? I am talking about California and Massachusetts.
Why did the Bishops confuse the issue of voting and abortion?
Who started the corrupt unions?
Who supports illegal Immigration?
Who allows gays in drag to take Communion?
Has the church supported ACORN?
I am not anti-Catholic, I am Catholic. I follow the Vatican, do the Bishop's?
Therefore --- any Catholic who might vote dimocrat is a Catholic in Name Only (CINO).
For their information -- Obama supports partial birth abortion. No Catholic can, in right conscience, vote for Obama.
I am borrowing a graphic from Antonius. Thanks.

Yes, though, I agree with you regarding the USCCB.
Born, raised and educated as a Roman Catholic. It'll be a cold day in hell when any bishop can determine my vote.
No, I do not support Lightnin'. But it has nothing to do with what any bishop, or Pope for that matter says.
How anyone who purports to be Christian can vote democrat is beyond me especially Catholics ( maybe CINO's I guess ).
I was at a ladies house yesterday, 73 year old widow, devoted Baptist, just a fine woman who had all sorts of Hussein literature around her house. I don't get it.
Makes sense.
What religion are Latinos?
As their influence grows so shall the Churches.
That scene evokes shivers. May the Lord convert her heart and mind.
Wichita, Kansas, has **free** tuition for its Catholic youth. How do they pay for it? Answer: All Catholic parishioners are asked to tithe.
So??...I wonder?
Of the tithing paying Catholics in Wichita, and their kids graduating from their Catholic schools, I wonder how many support Democrats who promote abortion, push partial birth abortion, call for sex education in government schools , distribute birth control to minors, condone sex out of marriage, oppose school vouchers and tax credits, and legislate for homosexual marriage????
( Just wondering?)
Personally, I believe most of these polls reflex the opinions of Catholics who graduated from government schools and are now merely CINOs.
The statistics for evangelical youth (from strong and active Christian families) who graduate from government school, remaining faithful in their faith is ABYSMAL. Some studies show more than 88% leave their faith. Why would be any different for Catholic kids?
Also...Worse, studies show that youth graduating from government schools, who **claim** to be Christian hold beliefs that disqualify them from being Christian. Why would Catholic Christian youth have a better outcome?
If you want your kid to be Catholic, **homeschool** them!!!!
This is your **best** bet for keeping them active in the faith.... or... ( second best) get them into a Catholic school that teaches Catholicism and **not** Marxist Liberation Theology!
Those Catholics who would pull the lever for a candidate of the party of death, abortion and socialism aren't very good Catholics.
I sincerely hope that it would have plenty to do with the candidates position on:
Partial Birth Abortion
Marriage between a man and woman
Homosexual "rights"
Birth control distribution by the government ( especially in the schools)
Sex education in the government schools
Pushing homosexuality in the schools.
Vouchers and tax credits for private schools ( Catholic schools)
All First Amendment provisions.
The wrong stand on any of these issues should be a deal killer for any believing and practicing Christian ( Catholic or Protestant)!
Because their unions tell them to.
Among other things.
Mexico is a socialist country and has been in practice, if not name for over 100 years. That has a much bigger impact on it than being Catholic.
I thought this thread was about the US.
Why? Because they attended atheistic government schools that teach **all** subjects from a godless point of worldview!
Please read post #32. **That** is why Christians who should know better vote Democratic! By the time they graduate from government school, they are no longer Catholic. They are really Secular Humanists and don't even know it!
The research data on the success of the public schools in indoctrinating Christian youth with humanistic or neo-pagan worldviews is overwhelming. The Nehemiah Institute's worldview PEERS test shows that 83-percent of the children from committed Christian families in public schools adopt a secular humanist or Marxist socialist worldview. At the SBC's 2002 annual meeting, the Southern Baptist Council on Family Life reported, among other disturbing things, that 88-percent of the children raised in evangelical homes leave church at age 18. Barna Research reports that only 9-percent of born-again teens believe in moral absolutes, and more than half believe that Jesus sinned while He was on earth. We believe the fact that 80-percent of Christian families send their children to public schools is a prime reason for this lost legacy.
The Reagan Democrats who jumped to Perot are are hearing the job sucking sound and feeling the pressure of inflation. They are now more tuned into family economic issues, including jobs, health care and education costs. On social issues, helping the poor recruits more people at Church than abortion clinic protests.
The trains are passing each other in the night.
It is communism that drives **all** socialists.
Communism **is** a religion. It is the invalid, irrational, and impossible belief that human and human society can be perfected on this earth.
Scratch a liberal and under his thin skin is a socialist. Dig a little deeper and you will soon find the Marxist nuclear fuel rod that drives everything he says and does!
Scratch a Mexican socialist and his thin "Catholic" skin quickly disintegrates. What **really** drives him is the religion of Marxism.
Fixed it
This begs the question: what is a Catholic? Is it an ethnicity? Or is it a religion? Because if it's a religion....
Add another.
I'm sorry but you can't keep laying the blame on the Council. Society, at large, was going through a major shakeup at the time the council was convened. That certain bishops were influenced by the culture may be true but the council, as a whole, cannot be taken to task.
Recall that upon his election as pontiff, Pope Benedict XVI stated that his mission would be to implement Vatican Council II. That is what we are now seeing.
Nonsense! Did God not imbue mankind with a free will? How people vote has no effect on the Catholic Church or its Divine foundation.
Exactly. And so many of them are clueless. Kept in the little enclaves fed more b/s by liberals who want to keep the lemmings in check.
I know many of these Catholic Democrats, including my mother. They are 'attached' to the party through recollection of the good they did for 'their families' in the past. These are not free thinkers but followers. It is very challenging to persuade them to vote outside 'their' party.
And the **most** effective religious education is likely to occur in **homeschooling**:
Research by Dr. Brian Ray, founder of NHERI, found that 94% of all homeschooled children retained their faith into adulthood.
The second best place is in a faith based private school:
The Nehemiah Institutes worldview testing shows that students in Christian schools reject moral relativism at a rate 500% higher than Christian children attending public schools.
So?....It is likely that there are parents who will willfully deny the research and facts. If so, I can sell them a bucket of sand for them to bury their heads.

best boots ever

Nice boot but........
"Ok, so first glance at these boots. I love them. They are a bit edgy, and definitely unique. I needed a replacement for a pair of black ankle boots that I had worn out. These seemed to fit the bill perfectly. While they are made pretty well, they have too much room in the heel area, causing slippage. I decided to keep them anyway, though in order to spend a day without having my foot slip & add a bit more cushion I have to wear very thick socks. This is not always practical. But since I managed to find these in the clearance/returns section of the store I am ok with the price I spent on them."

very cute
"Theses boots are cute and very stylish. Not as comfortable as I though they would be. Also they were fine walking on my wood floors and outside but when I went in a store they squeecked so loud it was embarrassing. I bought another pair of boots in the store to wear. Other then the sqeeky noise they'd be awesome. I think these are going back for sure. Unless I wear them indoors for awhile and see if the squeek noise goes away. Weird when it didnt do it until I walked on whatever type of floor stores have.I'd recommend them if no it for that noise. Great look especially if you wear miss me jeans. I have the same design on the pockets asthe boots. Maybe i just got a defective pair."

Grand County has filed a motion for preliminary and permanent injunction for declaratory relief in the matter of the Green River annexation of the Grand County portion of Green River into Emery County. Grand County is asking that the court declare the pending annexation to be void and unconstitutional.
Grand County is basing their motion on a joint resolution which amended Article XI of the Utah Constitution this past legislative session. This amendment made it clear that no annexation can take place without a majority vote from both the annexing county and the county losing territory. This amendment was submitted to the voters of Utah and passed by a wide majority on Nov. 5. This amendment becomes effective on Jan. 1, 2003.
In September of this year, Governor Leavitt issued a proclamation declaring that the Green River annexation would become effective on Jan. 6, 2003. Grand County believes that no such annexation can take place after Jan. 1, 2003 because it would then be in clear violation of the amended Article XI.
Senator Carlene Walker, sponsor of the joint resolution amending Article XI, has now submitted a revision of 17-2-6 deleting in its entirety all of 17-2-6-(2) as being unconstitutional and requiring that as of Jan. 1, 2002, no annexation from one county to another may take place unless a majority of voters of both counties concur on the annexation.
Grand County reasons that the proposed Jan. 6 annexation should be ruled as unconstitutional and void.
Emery County Officials responded to the latest Grand County move with Representative Brad Johnson introducing legislation at the special session of the Utah Legislature to have the governor sign a proclamation which would declare the annexation to take effect on Jan. 1, 2003 instead of the Jan. 6, 2003 date now specified in the original proclamation.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud stated that on Dec. 18 the bill had passed the House with only two negative votes and also passed the Senate.
Commissioner Sitterud said that it is customary for state business to begin on the first Monday of a new year which was why the original proclamation specified this date. With the change to Jan. 1, 2003 as the effective date of the annexation, problems with sales tax on properties and other issues will be avoided.
Commissioner Sitterud also stated that just because there is a new law taking effect on Jan. 1, 2003, it does not make decisions made under the old law invalid.
If this were the case then criminals could come back and request new proceedings with each new law that was passed pertaining to their particular case.
Local officials believe a proclamation from the governor will be forthcoming before the end of the year with the date for the annexation effective date changing from Jan. 6, 2003 to Jan. 1, 2003.

When Lucas Giroux was born, there was no sign of anything wrong with his back. As he grew, it became evident that something was indeed wrong. His parents, Gabrielle and George, were soon to discover that Lucas had scoliosis and kyphosis. Scoliosis is curvature of the spine and kyphosis is hunch back. The more Lucas grew, the more the problems escalated.
Lucas, 17, is a senior at Emery High School this year. Although he has enough credits to graduate early, he is staying in school for the experience. He has a 4.0 grade point average and is enjoying his high school days now, and taking some college classes.
In June, Lucas had two surgeries to correct the spinal problems that were beginning to crush his internal organs. The first surgery was on June 2, with a second emergency surgery on June 3 to correct a screw placement. In the first surgery, two 2 foot rods, along with 29 screws were placed to straighten Lucas' spine. He was in the hospital for 11 days, while the medical bills mounted for the family.
Following the surgery, Lucas became four inches taller, to now stand six foot four inches.
When all was said and done, the hospital bills were $259,000. After insurance, the family has a large part to pay. A benefit to help the family with those expenses is planned for Nov. 8, at the Ferron multipurpose building at the fairgrounds.
The yard sale portion of the fund raiser will begin at 4 p.m. with a chili and Indian fry bread dinner to begin at 5 p.m. There will be entertainment for the evening by Leather and Lace, with an auction to follow at 7 p.m. A beautiful machine quilted quilt has been donated to be raffled also. Donations are also being accepted at any Zions Bank, in Lucas' name, to help with the medical expenses.

January 2011 E-News Brief
Docomomo International: Mexico 2010 Conference Student Workshops
The 3rd Docomomo Student Workshop took place in Mexico City as part of the 11th International Docomomo Conference "Living the Urban Modernity", August 2010. The workshop was held in the studio of Luis Barragán, located directly opposite Casa Barragán, a World Heritage Site. The workshop, which started 5 days prior to the full conference, had a number of students from different Mexican universities as well as participants from Brazil, Chile and England. The student teams were configured in such a way as to mix nationalities, background and levels of proficiency as much as possible.
The area of study was the Colonia Cuauhtémoc, an urban sector of Mexico City established and built up in the 1930's. This area is still largely residential and occupied by houses and other buildings that reflect the ideas and vocabulary of the Modern Movement as typical for the period. The specific case study was the Calzada Melchor Ocampo, a semi-circular piazza that is ringed by buildings designed by some of Mexico's most important modern architects like Luis Barragán and Enrique del Moral. The major challenge was not just the restoration of the buildings, which are in relatively good condition but rather to resolve the complex urban condition: the piazza and the buildings are part of a particular urban condition, whereby the buildings and the outer roadways have been completely segregated by the on and off ramps of the Circuito Interior, the major vehicular ring road. The impact of this elevated highway, the resulting urban disconnection, and the contrast in scale were part of the elements the faculty encouraged the students to consider in their projects.
The workshop focused primarily on possible solutions for this complex urban configuration, the difficulty of accessing the park from the surrounding area and the creation/accommodation of a building for the Docomomo Mexico headquarters. The new building (or reuse of one of the existing ones) was to link a new space for the documentation, conservation and study of Mexican modernity in general with the modern heritage of the area specifically.
The students, divided in 4 teams, worked for 5 days on proposals for the project brief and the new Docomomo Mexico Building. Very different yet connected initiatives appeared in the four groups, with some achieving a more complete interpretation of the urban landscape, some creating a complete separation from the highway through architectural and infrastructural interventions, and others looking for a more nuanced approach to the site recognizing its urban evolution. However, some themes were common to most projects such as the need to minimize the intervention into the significant existing buildings as little as possible, the use of the conceptual idea of modernity as basis for the new designs, the uses of bridges and pedestrian connections, and the acceptance of the car as an integral part of the design and the urban evolution.
As with all previous Docomomo workshops, one of the most interesting aspect of the sessions were the discussions among the students in the teams and the exchanges between the different groups, where the ideas in common were tested, criticized and analyzed, which made the workshop a learning experience going well beyond the final designs that were produced. This is a key component of the workshops, and should be enhanced and improved even further in the future. The exchange of ideas and knowledge between people of various disciplines, backgrounds, countries and cultures that is the core of Docomomo and that will strengthen our advocacy and discipline and help in understanding
what and how to preserve modern architecture in a meaningful way.
Excalibur, the largest surviving post-war prefab estate in Britain, is set to be demolished to make way for a modern housing development, despite opposition from residents and conservationists. The Lewisham council which oversees the South London estate has approved a redevelopment plan that would raze all but six of the original buildings, including a prefab church believed to be one-of-a-kind.
Photo: BBC.CO.UK
The 187 bungalows that make up the estate were built between 1945 and 1946 as a solution to the post-World War II housing shortage in Britain. Erected from factory-fabricated components assembled at the site, the bungalows were based on an American typology developed by the Tennessee Valley Authority to house workers, most notably at Fontana Village which began construction at the start of WWII. While expected to last only ten to fifteen years, the Excalibur prefabs have survived for over sixty, carefully maintained by their occupants.
The six protected bungalows received Grade-II listing by English Heritage last year, based on having the least amount of post-construction modifications. Per English Heritage guidelines, buildings listed as Grade II are considered of special interest, and warrant every effort to preserve them. However, saving just a few of these houses negates the historic significance of the estate as a whole, as the non-listed buildings are subject to the decision of the local authority.
Resident James Blackender (pictured above) has led a campaign to save the Catford estate, but efforts to-date have been unsuccessful.
Since 2004, Paul Rudolph's Orange County Government Center in Goshen, NY (1963) has been threatened with demolition. Budgetary constraints delayed its demise and activity surrounding the Brutalist-style government complex had quieted down in recent years. However 2010 saw new developments, including an extensive financial analysis to justify replacing the building, conducted over six months by County Executive Edward A. Diana and his team. Funding for a $200,000 design and feasibility study was approved in October 2010, and a Request For Proposals recently completed.
Supporters of demolition argue that current maintenance costs are too high. Results of the analysis provided by the County Executive reveal that work done on the building over the past ten years has totaled approximately $350,000, or a mere $35,000 per year (source: The Warwick Advisor). With $200,000 slated for the feasibility study alone, in addition to substantial demolition and new construction costs, the total cost of replacing the Government Center would dwarf rehabilitation and maintenance costs considerably, weakening the county's economic argument.
County Executive Diana provided this excerpt from the draft RFP to a local newspaper:
"The purpose of this Request for Proposals is to determine the most economical and efficient plan for the consolidation of various county departments and use of existing 24 acre parcel. The proposal shall include, but not limited to: the demolition of the existing Government Center, any options or alternatives that would facilitate the most efficient means of construction of a new Government Center Complex, the analysis of the necessary square footage and number of buildings to efficiently accommodate several additional county departments that are presently located off-site, the analysis of the cost renovating the existing Government Center and county owned and/or leased facilities; including estimates, and conceptual plans of new Government Center Complex. Parking requirements and traffic patterns, both vehicular and pedestrian, shall be an integral part of the planning process."
While the Request For Proposals includes a clause allowing for rehabilitation of the existing structure, the intent of the county is clear. Firms will have 60 days to respond.

Miami Modern Metropolis
Paradise and Paradox in Midcentury Architecture and Planning
Allan T. Shulman, Editor. Published by Balcony Press, 2009.
This extensively illustrated book accompanied the exhibit Promises of Paradise: Staging Midcentury Miami, which was first mounted in the Bass Museum of Art in Miami and subsequently in Samuel P. Harn Museum in Gainesville in 2008. While the exhibit was managed by Ruth Grim of the Bass and co-curated by Allan Shulman and Tome Hine, the book was edited by Shulman, who is a practicing architect in Miami, a faculty member of the University of Miami School of Architecture and an active member of DOCOMOMO US/FLA. This lavishly illustrated work, which contains a series of essays about the various aspects of the development of Miami in the postwar period, is in many ways the culmination of a process of recognition and preservation of modern architecture in Miami that began as early as the 1970s with its Art Deco hotels. Not surprisingly the majority of the essays, several of which are the work of DOCOMOMO members Jean-François Lejeune, Anthony J. Abbate and Alice Friedman, highlights its residential and hotel architecture but also brings attention to the growth and open-spirited ethos of the region and some of its remarkable examples of its civic, religious, commercial and industrial architecture. Illustrated largely with photographs and images of the period the book, as did the original exhibit, offers an extraordinary insight in the development, growth and architecture of postwar Miami.

Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place, New York, NY
The heroic steel, glass, and concrete housing estates, office blocks, schools, and civic complexes built across Britain in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s by Alison and Peter Smithson, Stirling and Gowan, Sir Denys Lasdyn, Sir Basil Spence, Ernö Goldfinger, Powell & Moya, Gillespie, Kidd, & Coia, and other neo-Corbusians and Miesians have come to be ranked as unique contributions to the Modern Movement. But some that are endangered have been branded as obsolete, bleak reminders of the welfare state, and their protection has aroused fierce debate.
Join AIA's Historic Buildings Committee and author Alan Powers for a lecture examining both the original reception of these buildings and the now often uphill battles with developers, government officials, and public opinion to save them, revealing the complex nature of architectural taste.

Ugo Monye and George Robson scored two tries apiece as Harlequins thrashed London Welsh 40-3 at the Stoop.
Ugo Monye and George Robson scored two tries apiece as Harlequins thrashed London Welsh 40-3 at the Stoop.
The home side picked up where they left off last weekend over the road at Twickenham Stadium as they scored two tries in the opening ten minutes to set the tone for a comfortable victory over the Premiership new boys.
George Robson powered over for the first in the opening few minutes and when Ugo Monye crossed for his first try of the season after Nick Evans had opted to kick for the corner rather than take a shot at goal the writing was already on the wall.
Former Scotland fly-half Gordon Ross did get the visitors on the board with three points midway through the first half but Monye's second try made it 21-3 at the break and the gulf in class was plain for all to see.
London Welsh's cause was not helped at all in the second half by two yellow cards, one to Paulica Ion early on and another to Tom Arscott with five minutes remaining, and Quins could and perhaps should have scored more tries than the six they did manage.
The increasingly impressive Robson completed his own brace from short range just over ten minutes after the restart to confirm that the home side's bonus point was well and truly in the bag before George Lowe and new signing Ben Botica finished off the scoring in the final quarter.
Lowe touched down after a superb break and chip ahead from the excellent Mike Brown and Nick Evans kicked his fifth conversion of the evening before being replaced by the young Kiwi Botica.
And, with substitutions happening left, right and centre and Arscott in the sin bin, Botica went over for a debut try to cap off a resounding victory, giving Quins their second bonus-point win and showing Welsh that a tough season lies ahead.
The scorers:
For Harlequins:
Tries: Monye 2, Robson 2, Lowe, Botica
Cons: Evans 5
For London Welsh:
Pen: Ross
Harlequins: 15 Mike Brown, 14 Tom Williams, 13 George Lowe, 12 Jordan Turner-Hall, 11 UgoMonye, 10 Nick Evans, 9 Karl Dickson, 8 Tom Guest, 7 Chris Robshaw (c), 6 Maurie Fa'asavalu, 5 George Robson, 4 Olly Kohn, 3 James Johnston, 2 Joe Gray, 1 Joe Marler.
Replacements: 16 Rob Buchanan, 17 Darryl Marfo, 18 Kyle Sinckler, 19 Charlie Matthews, 20 Nick Easter, 21 Danny Care, 22 Ben Botica, 23 Matt Hopper.
London Welsh: 15 Tom Arscott, 14 Phil Mackenzie, 13 Sonny Parker, 12 Hudson Tonga'uiha, 11 Joe Ajuwa, 10 Gordon Ross, 9 Tyson Keats, 8 Ed Jackson, 7 Mike Denbee, 6 Daniel Browne, 5 Matt Corker, 4 Jonathan Mills (c), 3 Paulica Ion, 2 Neil Briggs, 1 Frank Montanella.
Replacements: 16 Dan George, 17 Tom Bristow, 18 Arthur Joly, 19 Kirill Kulemin, 20 Alfie To'oala, 21 Nick Runciman, 22 Seb Jewell, 23 Nick Scott

Stone Creek works smarter, not harder
Note: This story was originally crafted for our 2010 rankings. Since then, Stone Creek has placed in the top in 2011 and 2012.
IRVINE – Test scores among English learners were languishing when Principal Michael Shackelford first came to work at Stone Creek Elementary School three years ago – and no one knew why.
The kids, who comprise about 40 percent of the Irvine school's population and speak 21 different languages, were bright, motivated and seemed to be speaking English just fine.
"We had kids who were at the same level for three or four years; the staff wasn't sure what to do with them," Shackelford said.
"Then they realized that they didn't really know what the child's level was. We studied the data and saw that even though they are proficient orally and auditorily, they were not proficient in reading and writing."
Stone Creek teachers quickly adjusted their focus, receiving intensive training on techniques and strategies that target English learners, including cultural sensitivity training.
It worked; the academic powerhouse began performing even better than before.
"Teachers had been working harder, not smarter," Shackelford said. "We talked about working smarter, not harder."
For its impressive academic achievements working with a highly diverse population, Stone Creek Elementary has been ranked the No. 7 public elementary school in Orange County in the Register's 2010 survey of public school quality. Click here to see our 2010 database of all 388 schools.
In just the past year alone, the school saw a 30-point jump in its Academic Performance Index score, to 946. The maximum API score – an overall gauge of a school's scholastic showing – is 1,000.
"All the teachers make learning fun," said 11-year-old Trevor Weiss of Irvine, a fifth-grader and student council vice president. "They try to make it exciting, challenging. Instead of just saying the answer, they give us little hints. They make us think."
Nestled in the heart of Irvine's Woodbridge community, Stone Creek Elementary opened in 1978 on about 6.5 grassy acres. The campus was named a California Distinguished School in 1998.
The school draws students from Irvine's Woodbridge community as well as parts of Tustin, including the new Tustin Field and Columbus Grove developments.
Built at the height of the 1970s "open classroom" movement, Stone Creek's brown-colored buildings have virtually no interior doors, and classrooms seem to flow into one another, separated only partially by walls (and many of those walls were added just last summer during an exhaustive renovation project).
The "highly stylized" buildings, as the principal refers to them, have soaring wood-beam ceilings, expansive picture windows, and almost no walls that meet at a 90-degree angle. Even Shackelford's own office has five walls.
Stone Creek uses a highly fluid, multi-tiered intervention system to ensure kids get the academic help they need.
Offered after school daily, the tutorial sessions are divided into two main sections – one for below-basic kids, and one for kids in danger of falling below proficiency. The former runs from October to May; the latter runs for six consecutive weeks in the middle of the school year.
During the tutorials, kids work in small groups with their classroom teachers and focus on math or language arts, or both. Teachers pull the kids in and out of these tutorial sessions throughout the school year, based on how they are performing, Shackelford said.
Stone Creek Elementary, while not a large school, also is full of spirit. Last month, kids collected about 1,600 pairs of shoes to send to Haiti's relief effort in just three days – the equivalent to every child and staff member bringing in two pairs of shoes, Shackelford noted.
Stone Creek also consistently has the best showing of Irvine Unified's 22 elementary schools at the school district's annual track and field event in May. About one out of every three eligible Stone Creek kids participates every year.
"They always introduce us as the school with the most kids participating," said fourth-grade teacher John Paul Hernandez, who has been at Stone Creek all six years of his teaching career. "We're not the most wealthy school, but the kids are very proud of their school – a lot of school spirit."

It's pretty much the same with the two games, Goldeneye and Mission: Impossible. Goldeneye is smooth, sophisticated, and still one of the best games for the N64. On the other hand, Mission: Impossible is a little rough around the edges and much less refined, though it's still a decent game that gets the job done.
As Ethan Hunt (point man for the IMF), you take on a variety of missions, such as
sabotaging enemy equipment, rescuing hostages, and stealing sensitive information. Aside
from skeletal plot elements, the game itself has very little to do with the movie, and if you
have a good attention to detail the game retains movie humor. There are two difficulty settings: Possible
and Impossible. Much like Goldeneye, the more difficult setting means you take more damage from enemies as well as added tasks you need to do to accomplish the mission.
Unlike Goldeneye, this is not a one-man show. Various team members accompany you on missions, but most of the time their role is limited to item exchanges. However, there are two levels where your team provides sniper support for you which is very, very cool. Donning
disguises is also a rather groovy part of the game (just don't go tooling around with your
piece still in your hand as the guards get mighty suspicious of an armed repairman). Stuff
like this makes Mission: Impossible stand out from Goldeneye, but Infogrames needed to take these innovations a step further to make a truly distinguishable game.
Don't expect to go around with high-tech weaponry mowing down platoons of soldiers. Shooting is very limited in this game and most of the time you don't actually kill anyone. Don't count on shooting
your way out of a jam either, as one wrong move will send guards to arrest you before you
even have a chance to whip out your piece. Awright, cut it out. I know what you're
thinking...(Uh, that's what we were going to say, Tim...- Ed.).
Although Mission: Impossible puts strong emphasis on espionage tactics, some of the puzzles
you are required to solve are rather obtuse, resembling mindless busy work, while others are
downright (forgive the pun) puzzling. You'll be muttering under your breath, "What the
@!*#% else am I supposed to do?!" Frustration levels run high as some of the levels are
large and one wrong move means starting the level over and repeating the same tasks ad
Mission: Impossible looks a lot like the Star Wars SotE levels where you guide a jumping, running, shooting Dash around; all third-person perspective with the camera behind and slightly above the character. In order to accurately shoot enemies, you have to press and hold
down the right shoulder button which puts you in the first-person view and also brings up
target crosshairs. In fact, there's a lot about Mission: Impossible that will remind you of
other games...Ethan's death cry and the grunts he makes after wading in a pool filled with toxic waste sound as if they were lifted straight from DOOM. Puzzles are reminiscent of easy Tomb Raider levels where you run, jump, or climb to some out-of-the-way places to flip switch A to open Door B. Not a whole lot of originality here.
Comparisons to Goldeneye are inevitable so I'll address some of them here. Although the gameplay in MI emphasizes espionage far more heavily than Goldeneye, it is still heavily reminiscent of the Bond game in other areas. Take for example this scenario: You're inside a train, moving from car to car taking out enemies hiding behind crates and in various
compartments until you reach the boss at the end who has a nasty surprise waiting for you.
In this case, instead of using your watch laser to escape, you have to figure out how to open
a safe to disarm a bomb. Or this: you have to protect the female protagonist (a computer
expert, no less) who becomes your main love interest and the camera slowly circles around
the two of you sucking face when the game ends.
The graphics look a little better than Goldeneye; player faces are a lot smoother, but everything else looks about the same. Music consists of various arrangements of the Mission: Impossible title theme (just like you know what) with some mood music thrown in here and there. But if it looks like Goldeneye and it sounds like Goldeneye, it ain't necessarily Goldeneye.
You'll figure this out the first time you try to take out a baddie with a point-blank headshot. There is about a two second lag from the time you fire your shot to the time your target drops dead from the fatal blow. Lame. It's a good thing this game emphasizes areas other than combat because the shooting in this game
flat out sucks.
If you're itching for some more head-shooting, double-fisted RPC-90 Goldeneye action, I'd
suggest you wait for Perfect Dark, as Mission: Impossible will leave you impossibly
unfulfilled. Granted, a superb offering like Goldeneye is a tough act to follow, and
while Infogrames' valiant effort falls a bit short of the mark, it is still a decent game worth some of your time.

Great silver shoes
"Was looking for a pair of silver heels - these are a nice silver, shiny but not overly so. The heel is high but they are pretty comfortable if you can handle the height. Love the open side, allows for better fit and keeps your foot from getting sweaty. Note that they are synthetic - not leather - I noticed a touch of creasing after walking in them for a while but the shine hides it nicely."

Minjie Wu, PhD
Director of Neuroimaging Methods
Research Assistant Professor in Psychiatry
Dr. Wu is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry of UIC and the Director of Neuroimaging Methods at the UIC Pediatric BRAIN Center. At the BRAIN Center, Dr. Wu is developing advanced functional and structural MR imaging techniques (including T1w, DTI, resting-state and task-evoked fMRI) and applying these techniques to characterize the developmental trajectories of normal brain maturation as well as the developmental perturbations or deviations in neuropsychiatric disorders. These include: map the abnormally engaged resting state affective, executive, and sensorimotor networks in psychotropic naïve patients with pediatric mania using resting state fMRI; probe the affective and cognitive abnormalities in pediatric psychiatric disorders using GLM-based and ICA-based functional connectivity methods on task-evoked fMRI; identify structural abnormalities in major white matter bundles and cortical gray matter in pediatric bipolar disorder.
During her Ph.D. training in Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Wu worked at the Geriatric Psychiatry Neuroimaging Lab of the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic (WPIC), during which she developed MR imaging algorithms including Automated Labeling Pathway (ALP) for brain image segmentation, automated white matter hyperintensity (WMH) segmentation and localization algorithms, and Optimum MRI Template Selection method for more accurate brain image segmentation/normalization. Using resting-state fMRI, Dr. Wu found altered default-mode network in late-life depression compared to controls. During her curricular practical training in the Section on Tissue Biophysics & Biomimetics (STBB), National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD)/National Institutes of Health (NIH), Dr. Wu developed the image-registration based EPI distortion correction algorithm for DTI data processing, which is included in the NIH diffusion MRI data processing software package: TORTOISE. During her post-doctoral training at the Department of Neurology, Northwestern University, Dr. Wu used high resolution DTI and resting state connectivity analysis method to study Parkinson's disease.

ABC Local Radio, Classic FM and the National Gallery of Australia partnered to bring 20 ABC Local Radio listeners and two Classic FM listeners from across Australia to see Toulouse-Lautrec: Paris & the Moulin Rouge.
The lucky winners received a prize including return airfares to Canberra, accommodation at the Novotel Canberra, an introduction to the exhibition from Director Ron Radford, ABC Presenter Tony Delroy and Classic FM presenter Emma Ayres, and an exclusive cocktail party at the French Ambassador's residence.
We loved the winning entries so much that we've picked a couple to share with you.

Classic FM asked its listeners – Tell us which famous French person you'd like to take to the top of the Eiffel Tower and why?
Winner Wade Higgins's response was – 'I would love to take the Hunchback of Notre Dame up the Eiffel Tower because, aside from the fact the poor fellow never gets invited anywhere, it would be nice for him to enjoy a view of Paris without having to ring any bells.'
702 ABC Sydney listeners were required to interpret the Cancan dance, and to submit their entries via Youtube.
Winner Charlotte Scotton used Toulouse-Lautrec's famous Cancan dancers that feature in Mademoiselle Eglantine's troupe [La troupe de Mademoiselle Eglantine] 1896 as templates, and made them into finger puppets. Charlotte then filmed a performance of these finger puppets doing the Cancan.

As Toulouse-Lautrec: Paris & the Moulin Rouge draws to a close we turn our attention to two other exhibitions currently on display at the Gallery. The superb prints of Jessie Traill, one of Australia's most important and interesting printmakers of the 20th century are on display in the Project Gallery, while downstairs in the Orde Poynton Gallery is Kastom and the extraordinary art of Vanuatu. These two exhibitions are certainly worth a visit and NGA members have an opportunity to engage with the curators of these two very different but equally exciting exhibitions at the following events.

Kamanlyk 'Metaniele' c.1972 National Gallery of Australia, Canberra Purchased by J-M Charpentier on behalf of the Commonwealth Arts Advisory Board
During March this year I was invited by the National Gallery of Australia to spend a period of 10 days inhabiting and customising the A-Z homestead unit by Andrea Zittel. My brief was to change the unit to suit my needs during the stay and to continue my work as an artist. Obviously, carrying out daily tasks in front of an active audience was, at times, challenging. My first action was to put up a fence around the work as a way of setting my limits.
Photograph: Charlie Sofo
Within this fence-line I slept, washed, cooked, received a haircut, went on field trips, created actions, took photographs, made notes and blogged. I also had countless conversations with people from the public, some of whom came and sought out the unit directly. They shared stories of homelessness, their political concerns with housing and the distribution of wealth, personal stories of living in makeshift homes and aspirations for independent living (off the grid and sustainably). I also encountered criticism of the work of art, and of the National Gallery itself. I felt at times as if my position was to deal directly with these concerns, to somehow address them in my actions. This proved to be the most difficult task.

In observing my own daily patterns in an intense period of scrutiny, I gained certain strengths. My work as an artist has been to look to the more subtle and marginal aspects of lived experience. In that way I could really appreciate the simplicity of watching the sunrise through the windows of the A-Z homestead unit or waiting for a pot of coffee to boil. For me these small things constitute big freedoms (and pleasures).
I hope in some small way, during my time in Canberra, that I've shared these pleasures too. I'm grateful to all the public, friends and staff at the National Gallery who generously shared their time and gave gifts or supplies for my inhabitation. For me, this support made what was a challenging experience also a gift.

Looking for something exciting to do these school holidays?
This April the NGA, in collaboration with the Canberra Youth Theatre and the Academy of Interactive Entertainment, will present a live gaming adventure in the NGA Sculpture Garden that will re-define your understanding of the 'global race for survival'.
35° 17 SOUTH is a multi-reality location based game. It will take audiences on a journey forward in time, from a Canberra that was once thriving and rich with resources, to a futuristic city reeling from the collapse of society. The game uses the National Gallery's collection as inspiration for its story, incorporating real sculpture works with real and imagined events taking place in Canberra from 2013 – 2033.
Combining digital technology, augmented reality and live installation performances, the game will be downloaded by audiences as a tablet or smart phone application, which then guides participants in a race against other competitors through the Garden. It is suitable for the whole family, and has been developed for Android devices. (A limited number of devices are available for hire, or bring your own). Click here for more information.
There is also plenty to do inside the Gallery for young people and families this month. Tales for the very young takes children of 3 to 5 years old on a tour of Kastom: Art of Vanuatu, bringing the works of art to life with story-telling, while Draw together encourages all ages to take part in activities which can help them to discover the joy and value of drawing.
The Childrens Gallery is also open during Gallery hours, currently presenting the exhibition Creating worlds, which explores the beauty and diversity of Australia's natural environment.
The NGA holds an incredibly varied collection of photographic works of art, which presents enormous challenges for the conservators who care for it. To keep up with changing trends in analysis, research and treatment, professionals at the NGA participate in conferences all over the world and I was recently invited to speak at just such a gathering. The week-long conference (11-15 February) was exceptional in that it brought together the largest US conservation group (AIC) with the International Council of Museums (ICOM-CC) allowing international experts to present papers and workshops over several venues in windy Wellington, New Zealand.
I presented two projects. The first - research, co-authored with Anne O'Hehir, NGA Photography Curator, on a unique and fascinating photocollage by Claude Cahun, Aveux Non Avenus (Unavowed Confessions) 1929-30. It is the only remaining original collage by this Surrealist artist and is constantly requested for exhibition, recently being loaned to institutions in Paris, Barcelona and Chicago. Consequently it is vital that this complex work is kept in excellent condition.
Claude Cahun & Marcel Moore 'Photomontage for frontispiece for Aveux non avenus (unavowed confessions)' 1929-30 National Gallery of Australia, Canberra Purchased 1993
The second project featured investigations into holograms. While we are all familiar with holograms now –those mass produced on our credit cards and passports - the unique holograms in art collections are altogether different. The NGA holds holograms on glass, plastic and even granite tiles, all of which require specialist care.
I was able to share this research with colleagues and benefit from hearing about their work into areas such as large scale disaster response to the Christchurch earthquake and the tsunami in Japan. The technical papers included long term projects investigating the physical and chemical composition of photographs, with results that will be published and shared in virtual cloud based global reference libraries.

This month Elspeth Pitt, Assistant Curator, Australian Prints and Drawings, contemplates Rosemary Dobson's fusion of art and poetry.
Poet-artist Rosemary Dobson came to Canberra in 1971 and the city soon found its way into her work. In poems like Canberra morning she uses words as one would a pencil or paintbrush. Drawn as a suite of images, the city's earliest hours are marked by long shadows like low bellied cats, and the advent of day by sudden bird flight into sky (at the bus stop a flock of starlings).
Rosemary Dobson, Alec Bolton 'Greek coins: a sequence of poems with line drawings by the author' 1977 National Gallery of Australia, Canberra Gift of Meredith Hinchliffe 2011
Two volumes written and illustrated by Dobson are held in the National Gallery collection. Poems is her first effort, published in 1937 while still a student at Frensham, a progressive school for girls in Mittagong, New South Wales. The linocut cover is a visual equivalent to the poems within. Disparate elements like leaves, air pockets and earth furrows are unified in a repeat-pattern design. Likewise, Dobson's poems condense spiritual, emotional and physical experience into couplets and short lyric verse.
Rosemary Dobson 'Poems' 1937 National Gallery of Australia, Canberra Purchased 2012
Inspired by her own travels, and by the second century text, Pausanias' guide to Greece, Greek coins was produced decades later in 1977. In one poem, Dobson describes a visitation from the god Asklepios while at a ruin, an – old man in a hat and frock-coat under / a black umbrella in that radiant light. For the poet, ruins and relics were a means to commune with the past. In trying to afford her audience the same experience, Dobson pairs her poems with small, coin-sized illustrations adapted from antiquities. A flute player comes from an attic cup, and a woman enthroned from an ancient engraving.
Produced in collaboration with her husband, Alec Bolton, at his Brindabella Press, the volume is a beautiful example of the type of shared project in which the couple infrequently engaged.
Last month the National Gallery of Australia Foundation launched the Masterpieces for the Nation Fund 2013. This year the fund will support the acquisition of Florence Fuller's magnificent landscape painting A golden hour c.1905.
Dr Anne Gray, Head of Australian Art at the National Gallery of Australia gives us a special insight into this special painting in the video below.
Please support the development of the national art collection by donating towards the acquisition of Florence Fuller's A golden hour c.1905. Every donation at every level makes a difference.

In 2008 the National Gallery of Australia acquired a cast of George Lambert's Geelong Grammar School War Memorial, the First World War memorial on permanent display in the grounds of the Victorian school. The original memorial was commissioned by the Old Geelong Grammarians Association on 9 June 1923 to commemorate the 88 old boys of the school who were killed during this conflict. The cast of this striking memorial is currently on display in the Australian art galleries on level 2.
George LAMBERT '[cast of] Geelong Grammar School War Memorial' 2008 National Gallery of Australia, Canberra Purchased 2007; a cast of a sculpture that was presented to the Geelong Grammar School, Corio Campus, as a gift from the Old Geelong Grammarians Association in 1927
Anne Gray, Head of Australian Art and Senior Curator of Australian Paintings and Sculpture before 1920 explains the symbolism and significance of this memorial:
'This bronze group is symbolic of the triumph of youthful heroism over evil. Two war-weary Australian soldiers, one in the full fighting equipment of the French trenches, the other representative of the Light Horse of Palestine, are placed at the base of the sculpture. Bowed down with fatigue, they support on their shoulders the weight of an immense bird, which has the attributes of an eagle combined with those of a vulture, symbolic of the Spirit of War. The bird struggles to avert the deadly thrust of the long, two-handed sword held by the youth.
This central figure is portrayed naked (except for a close-fitting headpiece and armour about his loins) to suggest the spirit of youthful heroism. In showing his hero near-naked, Lambert transformed the orthodox images of the slayer, such as those of Saint George, to create a work about the Allied victory over the Germans on one level and the human conquest over the warlike spirit on another.'

Although I listen to Marc Maron's WTF podcast on a pretty regular basis, I make a point to listen whenever he talks to a musician. He recently had on John Popper and Chan Kinchala from Blues Traveler and they talked about everything from sneaking a tin can full of Ganja through airport security to how they first met Bill Graham and strategies for when you are trading licks with Santana.
Maron is a musician–although he probably wouldn't admit it–but he still walks the fine line between spewing fanboy and observant listener. Both are essential elements for an interesting interview, but in this episode he lets the BT fellas take the wheel and spill all the deets about the early days at the New School in NYC.

Teaching & Learning Resources
Teaching and Learning at Wabash College
Excellent teaching is going on in labs, classrooms and in other venues all around the Wabash College campus and, in the case of immersion courses and study abroad, beyond.
The purpose of this website is, first, to make this teaching more visible to colleagues. We can learn a great deal from each other, if we only knew more about our varied teaching practices and experiences.
A second purpose is to make available some of the many resources—books, on-line articles, web-sites, list-serves—that could help us improve our teaching. These will be organized, as much as possible, around specific pedagogical areas for ease of use—developing syllabi, using technology in the classroom, leading discussion, delivering lectures, classroom management issues, doing research on teaching and learning.
Finally, this website will serve as a bulletin board for announcements of pedagogy conferences, grants devoted to improved teaching, speakers and events, periodic faculty/staff discussions, and other activities designed to support our teaching and learning.

East Union names new softball coaches
It has been 10 years since Josh Blythe has played at East Union and he marks the milestone reunion by returning to his alma mater as the head coach of slow pitch softball.
The 2002 graduate has remained in the community and received his initial coaching experience working at Guntown for three years. While in Guntown, Blythe worked with fast pitch softball, girls basketball and track, and now looks forward to building on what former Head Coach Andy Kirk has established with the Lady Urchins.
"This is a great opportunity for me to come back home," Blythe said. "Coach Kirk has built a great foundation for this team in a year, and I know I'm taking over an experienced program. The girls have been here and played a lot, and I'm excited, expecting big things from them."
Blythe becomes the fourth coach in as many years, but entering the job with knowledge of his team is important and will help in the beginning stages.
"I already know some of the girls since I've stayed real involved at church at Blue Springs," he said. "There are still several girls that I do not know very well, but we have about a month to start piecing things together, and I'm excited with the possibilities."
Along with his softball responsibilities, Blythe will assist Chris Basil with baseball, a dream opportunity for the former Urchin.
"I played for Coach Basil for four years, and this is a dream for me," he said. "To be able to work with him is great, and I'm very excited to be a part of the program again."
Also approved by the Union County School Board is the return of Brad Brown as the head coach of the fast pitch program. Brown previously worked with both slow pitch and fast pitch before the 2009-2010 school year and returned as an assistant for fast pitch this last season.
Assisting Blythe and Brown will be Pamela Warrington, who assisted in both sports last school year.
