Savers will be offered pensions "with expensive, and confusing fees", following a dramatic climbdown by the pensions minister, Steve Webb, over charges.
Mr Webb had wanted, from April, to cap charges levied by workplace-pension schemes. However, following noisy lobbying by the pensions industry he has decided to put his planned cap on ice at least until 2015.
"Steve Webb has faced frenzied opposition from the industry's lobbying machine ever since he announced his plan to stamp out high fees on auto-enrolment pensions. The lobbyists have now got their way," John Fox, managing director of Liberty Sipp said.
With no cap on charges he questions whether workers should allow themselves to be auto-enrolled into their company pension scheme: "The chance to start a pension through work will be convenient – but with no cap on the pension fees, for many it might not be good value," he said.
Gina Miller of the True and Fair campaign said the delay – although unwelcome –is an opportunity to get to grips with fees: "I would urge the Government to use this pause to strengthen the proposals so that any caps include all costs and fees," she said.

AN ALBUM TO UNSEAT GEORGE: We're not entirely sure the news that a bunch of left-leaning indie acts have put together an album against him is going to cause too much in the way of upset at the White House, but every small shove helps. And, what's more, it's a pretty good album, too; it includes the first track from the posthumous Elliot Smith album, as well:
1. OK GO: This Will Be Our Year
2. David Byrne: Aint Got So Far To Go
3. Jimmy Eat World: Game Of Pricks (BBC evening
4. Death Cab for Cutie: This Temporary Life

22. Elliott Smith: A Distorted Reality is now
Necessary to be Free
I'm sure it won't escape the sharp eyed boys down at Fox News that there's a couple tracks originally recorded by the BBC on there - damnit, you just knew they were pinkos, didn't you. The CD is called Future Soundtrack of America, and has been put together to raise cash for progressive groups by McSweeneys, MoveOn.org and Barsuk Records. There's also a book, The Future Dictionary of America, which does a similar thing but with words.

orq graphic organizer - Section 3: Time to Write
Testing Strategy: Planning a Written Response
Lesson 16 of 16
Objective: Write with focus, organization and supporting details to demonstrate comprehension of a poem.
Pre-writing Plan
In a previous lesson on test taking strategies, students wrote personal plans for success. Many noted that they would benefit from taking the time to plan a response before writing it. This lesson is created with that in mind.
To start class, I pass out the ORQ Activity Packet and assign one question to each group of students. The goal is to come up with a plan for organizing the answer. Obviously, they cannot actually fill in the organizer because they do not have the text, which will be a poem. But the point is made that reading the question over carefully and determining what the type of information is needed to write a response is an important first step to doing well on this type of writing assignment. Each group presents there findings to the class and students take notes during the presentations. Each question in the packet comes from grade 6 ELA tests recently released by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Apply What You Know
For students to apply the skill of pre-planning a writing assignment they read and respond to "Throwing a Tree" by Thomas Hardy, which appeared on a grade 6 ELA test that was recently released by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
They read the poem closely, answer four multiple-choice questions and plan an answer to an open response question (ORQ). One reason for choosing this particular selection is its link with our poetry unit: the ORQ prompt asks students to identify and explain the poet's use of personification. I allow students to work with a partner while reading and annotating the poem, answering the multiple choice questions and pre-planning the written response in order to check in on their ability to move through this process.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Time to Write
At this point, students work independently to write responses to the prompt. The results can be reviewed in a variety of ways. Students can analyze their use of pre-planning strategies by comparing this one with previous ones. The class can examine the citations chosen for the response and determined which is the strongest. The use of transitions and the smooth integration of quotes can also be compared from one response to another. A graphic organizer used by students during the writing process appears here. One example of a completed ORQ appears here. The student's work marking up the poem and the pre-planning page can be viewed here and this video explains the process.

Raiders Stop Chiefs Run Game
From the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
All season the Chiefs have been able to run the ball. In four of their first seven games, they had over 200 rushing yards. It's what led them to the No. 1 position in the NFL in rushing yardage last week with an average of 190 yards per game.
Things were not so successful on Sunday in Oakland. The Raiders did the best job of any opponent this year in keeping the Chiefs running game contained and it helped them grab a 23-20 overtime victory.
"We can't just run the ball to win," said Thomas Jones after the Chiefs ran for 104 yards on 34 carries against Oakland. "We have to make plays in the passing game as well. It's a total team effort. I think a lot of people build up a certain part of your team and are disappointed when it doesn't work. We are the Chiefs offense, not the Chiefs running game. It's a team effort. That's how we look at it."
The offensive team effort wasn't very good and it started with the running game, because that's where all things start with the Chiefs offense. They had 34 carries, and only one went for more than 10 yards. That was a 13-yard run by Jamaal Charles in the third quarter.
Of those 34 carries:
- Three went for negative yardage, a total of minus-11 yards.
- Seven went for no yards.
- Three more carries went for just one yard each.
That's 13 carries that produced a total of minus-8 yards. There was more given the three holding calls the offense added as well.
"They were loading up the box and they were in zero situations where they didn't have anyone in the deep middle of the field and there's just an extra body you cannot block," said head coach Todd Haley.
With the middle of the field open, the Chiefs should have been able to take advantage of that, but that didn't happen much either. QB Matt Cassel averaged just 6.2 yards per passing attempt in the game, and the longest pass play was just 23 yards.
And the running game just kept spinning its wheels.
"Without guessing, when you have penalties it puts you in situations a little more difficult to run," said Haley. "The field didn't seem to be helping us too much. We had too many guys on the ground and allowing penetration at times. I'll have to look at the tape to give a really good answer. I don't want to guess. At times it felt like we could make a little progress and at times we couldn't."
The Rush Brothers of Jones and Charles combined for 85 yards on 29 carries, a average of just 2.9 yards per carry. That's so unlike what they've been able to do all season.
"We just couldn't get going," said Jones. "They played a great game. It was a defensive struggle. We played pretty well against their run early on and they played pretty good against our run.
"It was just one of those games. There were a lot of penalties. The weather the ball is wet. It was just one of those games. The Raiders came ready to play and we came ready to play, they just made a few more plays than we did."

Did you guys notice how Richard Seymour tossed our O-Linemen around like RAG DOLLS???? "WHY" can't we get a guy like that?????? He is a FORCE.
November 8, 2010 - el cid says:
We do not want guys with character issues, we want the right 53, remember half of you saying that for 18 months now. Well, Waters was a probowler and he played like a 139lb weakling against a guy with character issues.
November 8, 2010 - dan in joplin says:
Ya chuck, I did! especially waters! we have to get asamoah in there.
November 8, 2010 - Tim says:
Waters was whipped big-time in this game.
November 8, 2010 - dan in joplin says:
el cid, there are alot of "character" guys that can play, we just don't have enough of them yet. I don't remeber seymour being a "bad" character guy if thats who you are referring to. Btw, sorry your dog ate your cake, that must have sucked!
November 8, 2010 - el cid says:
Thanks dan, shot the dog…..just kidding, only character who will watch the Chiefs play with me. Seymour was rated a questionable with his last team, took plays off. Did not happen sunday. Disappointed in myself, I bought into this team and there is not a W left on the schedule, if you can stop the Chiefs running, you win. Sort of like watching a one-armed man in a fight. If the one fist can hit you, ok. If you can duck, you kill him.
November 8, 2010 - dan in joplin says:
Hope PETA isn't reading! Hate to see you give up so quick, it's the NFL and you lose some are "suppose" to win and win some you are "suppose" to lose. I have been disapointed in our play the last two games and it is obvious we are "there" yet, but we have made improvements this year over what we have been and I think some of those improvements aren't evident, YET! You have made it clear, we still have alot of holes to fill and I agree, the difference is you want to do it with anybody to make it happen NOW and I'm willing to wait it be put together for the long haul.
November 8, 2010 - dan in joplin says:
sorry meant to say "aren't there yet"
November 8, 2010 - el cid says:
Dan, what if the "long haul" does not come? I believe you only get so many grabs at the golden ring. Age, injury, and retirements can hit you between the eyes and you are reloading all over again. Like Cassel, well if he does not get a whole lot better we will be rebuilding with a new QB til 2016. Is that the long haul? What if Chambers is done and Bow cannot be counted on for clutch catches, sets back rebuild til 2012. If Vrabel retires, no body is there to replace him, a 2011 draft pick and after 2012 to do the job correctly. Just what is the long haul??
November 8, 2010 - dan in joplin says:
Its the juggling act of trying to win now with the guys you want/have, but not losing sight of the future I guess. I think that at this stage of the team, when they are looking @ paying money for a player or giving up picks, it will be for someone that will fit now and give us a chance to be good down the road. I would say that @ this point they have done a pretty good job with who they had and with who they have added. I guess it comes down to how many holes can you fill @ one time? Bob is right, they don't have enough talent yet, but I believe they are going about it the right way. Last game was a huge disappointment, but they have been winning and they have been IN every game they have played this year.
November 8, 2010 - dan in joplin says:
We have been doing alot of "reloading" the past few years, but hopefully this time it is right. If not, then it will be back to the drawing board I guess! We could be the Cowboys, w/ all that talent and no direction or coaching! Their fans have a legitimate bitch for not doing it this year! Chief fans (who are the MOST passionate) have no room to complain @ this point. This team is winning games and are better than we have been in a long time! I'm not totally sold, but for the most part, I like what I'm seeing! Pissed about Sunday, but still encouraged.

ATV Patrol
Using All Terain Vehicles (ATV), the Sutter County Sheriff's Office routinely patrols approximately ten (10) miles of the Feather River bottoms during the spring, summer, and fall months. The area varies in width between the tow of the levee and the river's edge from a few feet in the Yuba City area to several hundred yards at Shanghai Bend Park. The river-bottoms are enjoyed by many citizen's such as swimmers, hikers, bank fishermen, horseback riders, off-road bicyclists, and campers. The terrain is diversified with woods, sandy beaches, and unimproved trails.
Supervised by Sergeant Greg Zembiec, the goal of the ATV Patrol unit is to ensure the public's safety while they use the river bottoms. ATV deputies accomplish this by making their presence known while enforcing state laws and county ordinances, with public safety being their prime concern.

A fungus (/ˈfʌŋɡəs/; plural: fungi[3] or funguses[4]) is a member o a lairge group o eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds (Breetish Inglis: moulds), as well as the mair familiar mushruims. These organisms are classified as a kinrick, Fungi, which is separate frae plants, animals, protists an bacteria. Ane major difference is that fungal cells hae cell walls that contain chitin, unlik the cell waws o plants an some protists, which contain cellulose, an unlik the cell waws o bacteria. These an ither differences shaw that the fungi furm a single group o relatit organisms, named the Eumycota (true fungi or Eumycetes), that share a common auncestor (is a monophyletic group). This fungal group is distinct frae the structurally similar myxomycetes (slime molds) an oomycetes (watter molds). The discipline o biology devotit tae the study o fungi is kent as mycology (frae the Greek μύκης, mukēs, meanin "fungus"). Mycology haes eften been regardit as a branch o botany, even tho it is a separate kinrick in biological taxonomy. Genetic studies hae shawn that fungi are mair closely relatit tae ainimals than tae plants.

I haven't had a tiny baby during summer before. The others were all winter babies. So I have been going through patterns looking for cute little summer clothes. You can't go wrong with little overalls.
I chose Kwik Sew 3776 as they are quite wide and can fit a cloth nappy in. I really should have followed the instructions exactly as I thought I knew what I was doing so of course I made mistakes and there was a lot of unpicking.
I love this aqua fabric. It is by Sevenberry and I think I bought it at Calico and Ivy in Perth last year.Somehow I managed to put the snaps on the wrong way, but it isn't that obvious.
I used cute little pink flower buttons from the seemingly never ending bag of mixed buttons I bought a few years ago at Spotlight.
I made the 0-3 months size for Olive who is 3 months next week (already!!) as she is a little shorty. They are still a little big so they will fit for a while.
Love this pattern. I think now I know what mistakes not to make I might try some in Liberty.

It's Valentine's Day, and I have to admit that I am getting a bit envious of the new kid in town. Everyone seems to be infatuated with a social network named Quora.
The website first came to my attention in early January when there were three separate conversations about it on GovLoop. First, Heather Coleman asked: "Should agencies and cities be on Quora?" Because she's a SharePoint content manager and social media specialist at the Army Contracting Command, her interest intrigued me. Of course, the first response to her question was another one: "What's Quora?"
For those of you who haven't heard of it — and fallen head over heels in love — if you were to encounter Quora at a virtual speed dating event, it would introduce itself as "a continually improving collection of questions and answers created, edited and organized by everyone who uses it."
Or as Jimmy Leach, head of digital diplomacy at the United Kingdom's Foreign and Commonwealth Office, said in a blog post a day after Coleman's inquiry: "It's like a social media version of Yahoo! Answers." Leach said he and his colleagues are "dabbling in the shallow waters, trying to get to grips with how we'd use it." But they're just not sure about a long-term relationship. It's all still a bit dreamy, like when the Beatles crossed the pond and found inexplicable mass adoration.
To be fair, I have flirted with Quora myself and found the responses to be better and more trustworthy than Yahoo! Answers. Far from calling Quora every day, I'm fine with a five-minute chance encounter as I wander the Web.
What cannot be easily ignored is the global nature of the phenomenon. A couple of weeks after the GovLoop conversations started, Nick Charney, a federal public servant in Ottawa, posted a blog entry that was akin to a beauty contest between Quora and GCPEDIA, Canada's version of the MAX Federal Community.
Charney wrote that he believes Quora wins because it has a greater sense of focus — without being too prescriptive — better information management and better search abilities, and it doesn't require users to learn how to code.
"I'm not saying that GCPEDIA isn't valuable (I still think it is) but only that it is being pulled by users in a number of different ways," he writes.
In fact, one of the questions on Quora is: "How can Quora help ExpertNet?" — a new initiative by the General Services Administration and White House that seeks to achieve "next-generation citizen consultation, namely a governmentwide software tool and process to elicit expert public participation," according to the notice published in the Federal Register in December 2010.
Quora can't be everything to everybody, but it's worth spending a minute lingering on its profile or checking it out over breakfast or coffee.
In the meantime, I've got enough on my plate trying to manage 40,000 relationships, which keeps me from getting too jealous of this new heartthrob.

Seasoned government managers are hopeful about an innovation effort backed by the president, but they see pitfalls and the possibility of duplication.
Early self-reporting suggests that 81 percent of agencies are on track to electronically manage email records.
The head of the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental says his goal is to drive culture change in the DOD's acquisition and innovation processes rather than make DIUx the acquisition arm of the DOD.
A plan to reorganize DHS' cybersecurity directorate that stalled in Congress last year is still on the agency's agenda.
Without confirmed subcabinet officials, President Donald Trump's executive order calling for a federal government reorganization will be managed by agency chiefs and career executives.
As promised, a budget blueprint from the Trump administration prioritizes military and homeland security spending, and pays for increases with dramatic cuts to civilian agencies.
The problem is Quora won't flirt back. The City of Oklahoma City created an account after we saw many local SM users posting about the new site. After a few days online our account was suspended because we were in violation of the terms of service - we used our organizations name instead of a person. While I see the spirit of the TOS, I don't want to represent my entire organization using my name alone. We haven't deleted our account and are waiting to see if policies change.
Interesting thoughts you have here on Quora. I've also found that the responses gathered from the community are more trustworthy than that of Yahoo answers, but that is due to who the users are. Currently Yahoo is plagued with internet trolls (example: How is babby formed?), another is that people like Mark Zuckerberg flocked to the site when it really started to trend. Along with Mark came entrepreneurs and techies. The main stream has been relatively put off by the site design, but that seems to be ok as there is less over flow of information, and more detailed responses coming out of it.

Canada 7 - Sweden 2
CANADA ROMPS OVER SWEDEN TO EARN SPOT IN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME RAVENSBURG, Germany – Canada and Sweden will meet Saturday night for the gold medal at the 2008 IIHF World Junior Championship, but the two nations also met earlier in the day, clashing in a semi-final at the 2008 European Air Canada Cup. Canada's National Women's Under-22 Team kicked off what they hope to be a successful day for their country, topping the Swedes 7-2 to move into the championship game in their quest for a sixth straight title at this event. Meghan Agosta (Ruthven, ON/Mercyhurst College, CHA) got Canada on the board early with a splendid shorthanded effort, splitting the Swedish defence and beating goaltender Kim Martin through the five-hole just over two minutes in. Just under four minutes later Samantha Hunt (Calgary, AB/Colgate University, ECAC) pushed the lead to two, taking a pass from Emmanuelle Blais (Montreal, QC/University of Minnesota Duluth, WCHA) at the blueline and driving down the wing to beat Martin through the five-hole again, giving Canada a 2-0 lead. Captain Valerie Chouinard (Matane, QC/Mercyhurst College, CHA) banged in a rebound during a goal-mouth scramble on the powerplay to make the score 3-0 at 11:43, with linemates Rebecca Johnston (Sudbury, ON/Cornell University, ECAC) and Agosta earning the assists. All three members of Canada's top line were buzzing around the crease in front of Martin, continuing the roll they have been on throughout the tournament. The trio has now combined for 24 points in three games, led by Agosta's nine (five goals, four assists). Sweden finally broke through with a powerplay marker of their own at 12:57 as Chanette Svensson deposited a rebound past Canadian goaltender Laura Hosier (Sharon, ON/Mercyhurst College, CHA). Canada added one more late in the period to take a commanding 4-1 lead into the dressing room, as Britni Smith (Port Perry, ON/St. Lawrence University, ECAC) blasted a low slapshot past a screened Martin at 19:04 with Mallory Deluce (London, ON/University of Wisconsin, WCHA) earning an assist on the play. Two Canadians goals early in the second period chased Martin from the Swedish goal, as Melanie Gagnon (St. Adpolph, MB/University of Minnesota, WCHA) and Jesse Scanzano (Montreal, QC/Mercyhurst College, CHA) scored 45 seconds apart to give Canada a 6-1 lead. Gagnon took a pass from Hunt and overpowered Martin with a slapshot from the point at 6:07, and Scanzano finished off a beautiful set-up from Courtney Birchard (Mississauga, ON/University of New Hampshire, Hockey East) at 7:02 to put the game out of reach. Jennifer Wakefield (Pickering, ON/University of New Hampshire, ECAC) rounded out the scoring for Canada at the 7:30 mark of the final period, although Agosta had a chance for her second goal of the game on a penalty shot late in the game, but was turned away by the glove hand of Swedish goaltender Sara Grahn. Ann-Louise Edstrand scored a too little, too late powerplay goal for the Swedes, who were outshot 43-18 and will play for bronze on Sunday. |

EMPORIA — Two Newton High School grads were inducted into the Emporia State University Athletic Hall of Fame this fall as members of the 1984 ESU softball team. Roselle Schmidt and Patti Paulson were members of the team, which won the 1984 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics National Championship. Emporia State finished 32-5 that year, ending the season with a 15-game winning streak, along with two exhibition wins over junior college teams. The Hornets went 5-0 in the national tournament, all of the wins by shutout. Emporia State beat Pacific (Ore.) 1-0, Northeastern State 6-0, Missouri Western 1-0 and Indiana-Purdue-Indianapolis 6-0. In the championship game, Emporia State downed Quincy (Ill.) College 1-0. The team was coaches by Betty Walters. Schmidt played shortstop for the Hornets.

Time and Space and Philip Glass: The Iconic Artist Talks at BAM

In 1976, the New York premiere of Philip Glass and Robert Wilson's "Einstein on the Beach" captivated audiences, polarized critics and put both artists on the map of contemporary performance art. In four-and-a half hours, its famously reductive score, enigmatic text and limpid, tensile choreography (by Lucinda Childs) teases out the meaning of the time/space continuum.

Lisa Bielawa on Early Days with the Philip Glass Ensemble
Saturday, September 08, 2012
Philip likes to say that I was "just a chick-let" when I first began touring with the Glass Ensemble. I was pretty much just out of college, and my couch-surfing lifestyle was evidence that I had not yet figured out how I would make a living, nor even exactly what I considered myself to be – a composer? A singer? Something else entirely? In retrospect, these uncertainties seemed to cause little anxiety for me – I was waiting for life to show me what was next.
Laurie Anderson on Early Glass Loft Rehearsals
Friday, September 07, 2012
I first heard Philip Glass in 1971 at one of his rehearsals in a loft on the Lower East Side in New York City. I went with a few other artists and we lay on the floor while he and his band played Farfisa organs at mind-melting volumes. These rehearsals often lasted for several hours and it was possible to drift to many different mental places. One of the regulars at the rehearsal was the sculptor Sol Lewitt, who said, "I do my best work at Phil's rehearsals."

Brooklyn Rider's Nicholas Cords on Breaking the 'Fourth Wall'
Wednesday, September 05, 2012
The music of Philip Glass will always be inextricably linked with our very understanding of how to be a string quartet. Early on in our history as Brooklyn Rider, we decided to learn his String Quartet No. 3, which is an adaptation of his score for "A Life in Four Chapters," the brooding 1985 Paul Schrader film about the life of Japanese author Yukio Mishima. Despite the relative simplicity of the score's veneer, we quickly discovered a rich inner life to the music and learned much about ourselves in the process.

The late singer's only previously-unreleased track from 'I Will Always Love You - The Best of Whitney Houston' lands online and reminds fans about the late artist's inspiring music.
"Never Give Up", Whitney Houston's previously-unreleased single from the greatest hits collection "I Will Always Love You - The Best of Whitney Houston", has emerged online in full. The song was debuted on Tuesday, November 6 and came a week before the official release of the greatest hits album. It has an uplifting theme and sends out positive messages to its listeners and reminds fans of Houston's inspiring music.
Sounding as soulful and distinct as ever, Houston does not fail to motivate her listeners through the song's powerful and poetic lyrics. She sings about different everyday characters, their struggles in life, and what they do to cope and move on.
The Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox-produced track was originally planned to be included in Houston's 2009 LP "I Look to You". "Never, never give up / Hold your head to the sky, look them right in the eyes / Tell them you will never quit until the day you get it right," belts out the late, great singer.
"I Will Always Love You - The Best of Whitney Houston" will be officially released on November 13 and will feature 18 tracks including original versions of "I Will Always Love You", "Saving All My Love for You", "I Wanna Dance with Somebody", and a new mix of the song "I Look to You" featuring a duet with R. Kelly.

"Wonderful book, wonderful reading"
I sampled all the audiobooks on Audible to see which reading my kids would like best, and I picked this one, and I'm glad I did. Terry Jones does a fantastic job at giving each character his own voice; the other narrators hardly did so, or didn't even try. The extra characterization and the intonation made this a really great book for my kids to listen to.
I don't recommend it for younger kids because of the complicated language and words the author used. A lot of the story went over the head of my 6 year old, though my 9 year old understood most of it.
Donn Edwards
"A great classic that is expertly read"
Terry Jones reads this classic with great skill, wonderful accents and a sunny enthusiasm that is delightful. I found myself smiling along as he read, although the pace is a little brisk for listening in a very noisy environment.
Children of all ages will be enchanted by this book, and I'm glad I bought it. I look forward to listening to it often. It cheers me up whenever I'm feeling gloomy.
"Timeless Classic, Inspired Reading"
You should definitely listen to a sample before purchasing, because Terry Jones will not be perfectly clear to the average American. However, if you are willing to spend the time getting used to his accent (or if you were raised on Monty Python) this is a very rewarding reading of the Wind in the Willows. Mr. Jones reads this story with a great deal of emotion and brings each character to life with a distinct and interesting voice. Highly Recommended.
"Fabulous narration!"
Terry Jones brings the little creatures to life. The pace and his voices for each of the creatures: the gentle mole, the clever water rat, the gruff but wise badger, and the crazed toad, were perfection. The only part of the story that dragged a bit was the overly long portion involving the sea rat. This story is still thoroughly enjoyable at any age.
I love both the printed and audio version of this classic book. I alternated between reading this book aloud to my eight year old and listening to the audio. I definitely think this is a book that should be heard and not just read silently. The author is a master at poetic devices. Alliteration, repetition, assonance, internal rhymes and more are easily heard!
The narrator, Terry Jones, is incredible. I chose this narrator after listening to the others because I knew I wanted a British accent and a male. He does the different characters with different voices, yet in a natural and not contrived way. I took considerable time listening to the samples of all the versions available. I am completely happy with this narrator.
The WInd in the Willows is a children's classic and rightfully so. Some have commented that it is boring. My child loved it! As we read we grew to love the characters especially Ratty and Mole. The vocabulary is challenging, but my daughter was able to narrate and understand the story. I think books like this must be read in childhood for our children to have any hope of loving the more challenging classics they will encounter in high school.
"As it should be"
Terry Jones does a truely beautiful job of narrating this classic childrens tale. This is a story to you will listen to over and over again.
"Classic - Careful"
While the book is a classic that no one will fail to enjoy it might be worth listening to a preview to check if the reading is comprehensible to you. I struggled with the readers accent and so did other listners. Perhaps downloading a different format will improve things.
"A classic read by a true artist"
Terry Jones understands the characters deeply: his voicing of each player makes them unique and incredibly appropriate to who they are. A soothing tale, the aural equivalent of slipping into a warm bath robe and slippers, the characters quickly become old friends to re-visit when you just need to escape to the comfort of a sweet and satisfying story.
I love the atmosphere and comforting world that you can immerse yourself easily in.
Terry Jone's gift for character and narrative makes this book expressive and fascinating in a way a less skilled performer could never do. His talent for narration is also in full display: not only is his voice work perfection, his telling of the vignettes in each chapter is so vivid you can close your eyes and see the book unfold like a play.
The emotion is joy and peace, and satisfaction. This is not designed to work you up or make you think terribly hard, but to enjoy your time with the characters, and maybe glean a little moral from the characters about life, but nothing too strenuous.
As with many audio books, the chapter cutoffs don't match the actual chapters. It's still a great listen... if you have a favorite chapter be sure to bookmark it.
"Fun and easy to imagine!"
Downloaded the book for my grandson - it is fun, the best part was listening at bedtime and not having to read myself.
"The Wind in the Willows (Unabridged)"
This was an excellent reading of one of my favourite children?s story of all times. The toad was as full of life and energy as always, the characters and surroundings of the riverbank really came alive. It is lovely to have all of the book rather than just the bits used in the dramatisations. I would strongly recommend this version to both those who know and love the book and those who have never come across it.

This was great and SO easy...I mean, 4 ingredients, come on!!! I saw the recipe on a Karen's new recipe blog, Favorites, and I can't wait to try out her tortilla soup recipe with the leftover chicken tomorrow night! The recipe calls for the meat to be cooked in the oven, but I threw it in the crock pot earlier in the day so I didn't have to worry about anything at dinner time. I love all the new food blogs popping up...I have so many new recipes I want to try :-)!
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts (I used 6 breasts)
8 oz apricot jam
12 oz salsa (I used a mild and there wasn't any spice to the chicken, so you may want to amp yours up)
1 pkg taco seasoning
Combine last three ingredients. Mix with chicken in 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 for 45 min. Serve with rice.
Sweet and Spicy Chicken

Jewish World Review March 7, 2010/ 21 Adar 5770 Privileges, guns and the court By George Will
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | It is said, more frequently than precisely, that the reasons the Supreme Court gives for doing whatever it does are as important as what it does. Actually, the court's reasons are what it does. Hence, the interest in the case the Supreme Court considered last week. It probably will result in a routine ruling that extends a 2008 decision and renders dubious many state and local gun-control laws. What could but, judging from the justices' remarks during oral argument, probably will not make the ruling momentous would be the court deciding that the two ordinances at issue violate the 14th Amendment's "privileges or immunities" clause. Liberals and conservatives submitted briefs arguing, correctly, that this clause was intended to be a scythe for slicing through thickets of state and local laws abridging fundamental liberties. The Second Amendment says: "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Until 2008, the court had never clarified whether the prefatory clause makes this right conditional: Does the amendment protect an individual's right to own firearms, or does it protect that right only in connection with a state's right to organize a militia? In 2008, the court struck down a D.C. law that effectively banned possession of handguns even in an owner's home it banned all guns not kept at businesses, or disassembled or disabled by trigger locks. The court held, 5 to 4, that the Second Amendment protects individuals' rights. But the court answered only the question then posed, which concerned the federal enclave of the District of Columbia. Left unanswered was whether the amendment protects that right against severe restrictions by state and local laws.
The oral argument concerned ordinances in Chicago and suburban Oak Park that are indistinguishable from the D.C. law. The court probably will overturn those ordinances by holding that another part of the 14th Amendment the guarantee that no state shall deny liberty "without due process of law" "incorporates" the Second Amendment. The justices evinced scant interest Tuesday in resurrecting the "privileges or immunities" clause by revisiting an incoherent decision rendered in 1873. To the drafters of the 14th Amendment, the phrase "privileges or immunities" was synonymous with "basic civil rights." But in 1873, the court held that only some of the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights restrict states by being "incorporated" into the 14th Amendment's "due process" clause. Since 1897, the court has held, with no discernible principle, that some rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights are sufficiently fundamental to be "incorporated" but others are not. This doctrine bears the oxymoronic name "substantive due process." Substance is what process questions are not about. If the court now "incorporates" the Second Amendment right via the "due process" guarantee, that will be progress because it will enlarge the sphere of protected liberty. And even Justice Antonin Scalia, who recognizes that "substantive due process" is intellectual applesauce, thinks it is too late to repudiate 137 years of the stuff. Still, three points argue for using the "privileges or immunities" scythe against the two gun ordinances. First, protecting the individual's right to keep and bear arms for self-defense was frequently mentioned by those who drafted and ratified the 14th Amendment, the purpose of which was to protect former slaves and their advocates from being disarmed by state and local governments determined to assault their security and limit their autonomy. Second, the central tenet of American political philosophy is that government is instituted not to bestow rights but to protect preexisting rights, aka natural rights those essential to the flourishing of our natures. In its 2008 decision, the court affirmed that the Second Amendment did not grant a right to keep and bear arms, it "codified a pre-existing right." Third, "privileges or immunities" are all those rights that, at the time the 14th Amendment was ratified, were understood to be central to Americans' enjoyment of the blessings of liberty. Liberals might hope and conservatives might fear that a revivified "privileges or immunities" clause wielded by liberal justices would breed many new "positive rights" to welfare, health care, etc. But conservatives know that "substantive due process" already has such a pernicious potential. And they believe that if a huge caveat it remained tethered to the intent of its 19th-century authors, the "privileges or immunities" clause would be useful protection against the statism of the states.

Graduate School Degree Dash
Interim Associate Dean Ray Vanderby takes the lead at the Graduate School Degree Dash September 2, 2016 (photo: Bryce Richter, University Communications)
The Graduate School kicked off the fall 2016 semester with its first annual Degree Dash, held September 2, 2016. The Welcome Week event began and ended on Bascom Hill.
Participants were encouraged to set a goal for 5.7 miles for the Doctoral Derby, or for 1.75 miles for the Master's Mile, both distances representing the number of years for the average degree completion.
The weather was perfect for the event. More than 600 participants met fellow students, faculty, and staff, toured campus, came away with a t-shirt or goodie bag, and gathered information to help start the semester off quickly. Racers were awarded a souvenir Degree Dash Diploma for completing the race.
"This event was a great way to bring together graduate students, faculty, and staff – the many people who are involved in graduate education on our campus – for some fun on the Friday before the semester starts," said Alissa Ewer, Assistant Dean, Graduate School. "Thanks to our volunteers and the several hundred racers who turned out, the inaugural Graduate School Degree Dash was a success, and we plan to host it again next year."

Once a year, a conflagration of techno, film, and music geeks descends on Austin (that's in Texas) for a little thing we like to call "South By" (the short form for South by South West). The event attracts tens of thousands of participants over two weeks in mid-march to hear the best and brightest in the three industries share their wisdom during the day and party during the night.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
GeekDad and GeekMom want to go to SXSW next year, but we need your help! 30% of SXSW panels are chosen by popular vote, so this is our first chance to make it in. We would take it as a kindness if you could please vote for our panels and then Tweet, Blog, Facebook, Google+, or Semaphore this link and encourage everyone you know to vote for us!
You don't have to be planing to go or even thinking about going to SXSW to vote. All you have to do is register on the site (don't worry, it's painless) and give our panels the thumbs up. If you really like our panel, a comment to that affect is appreciated. If for some reason we don't make it though this round, comments will be considered in the next two rounds.
We have two panels for consideration, made up of top notch members from both GeekDad and GeekMom:
The GeekFamily Guide to the Movies
If there's one thing geeks know, it's movies. But how do you raise your geeky kids to watch the right movies? I'll be leading a panel of distinguished film geek experts to discuss how to help kids find the right movies, why so many movies targeted at geeks fail, and how to encourage your own spawn to make their own movies.
The GeekFamily Guide to Game Night
GeekDad's own Curtis Silver will be leading a panel talking about the so called game layer in life, and how geeks have already been there and done that.
Also — if you are a typography geek like me — I am on another non-GeekFamily panel for consideration:
The Future of Web Typography
I'll be talking with experts from Google, Adobe, Microsoft, and Extensis Software about where type layout on the Web is headed. Hint: It's not comic-sans.
We thank you for your support.

Will Ben Affleck Run For Senate?
Senator Ben Affleck?
There's growing speculation that Affleck is considering running for the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts, now that President Obama has nominated Senator John Kerry as Secretary of State.
"It's a perfect choice," said President Obama.
Affleck did not deny the possibilty during a recent interview on Face The Nation.
"One never knows. I'm not one to get into conjecture," said Affleck. "I do have a great fondness and admiration for the political process in this country. It's a big deal for me to come down here and be on your show that I've watched so much, but I'm not going to get into speculation about my political future."
The Argo director is politically active and recently testified before the House Armed Services Committee.
He faces tough competition. Ted Kennedy Jr., son of late Senator Edward Kennedy is expected to throw his hat into the ring.

I did it! Today was one of my all time favorite days. The race was so much fun, so supportive, and filled with enthusiastic fans. I beat my goal time by two minutes and felt strong all the way. The swim was way more of a people obstacle course than I imagined but was still quite smooth, the bike was uphill for about the first 3 miles but then the sweet payoff was about 9 miles of rolly up and down (mostly down!). Then the run was fun because people were cheering the whole way. I didn't stop smiling the whole time.
Sam and Reed were there at every transition yelling for me. In the photos you can see my "wave" of swimmers in green caps, all the women in my age group. We were the 14th wave out of 21 so there was a lot of waiting to get started. I loved all the ceremony that Danskin does. They actually played "Eye of the Tiger" on the beach before the swim started, and if that's not embarrasing, how about the fact that it made me get teary with excitement? They also put a medal around your neck as soon as you cross the finish line.
It was pretty amazing to see the cancer survivors and older women racing. I had a total blast and will definitely be back next year. Who's coming with me? Huge thanks to Sam for being so excited for me and cheering so loudly at every turn. (These photos are way out of order and I can't for the life of me straighten them out, so you'll figure it out.) Reed's t-shirt says "My Mom Tri's." I couldn't resist.

---Seller says SELL! Price has been reduced $10,000 as of 21 August - ask your questions and make plans to come for inspection SOON!
Lucky you! Here is one of the newest and best built Colvin-designed schooners available today, well maintained in excellent ready-to-cruise condition, and bargain priced for an immediate sale! That's a rare and winning combination worthy of anyone's full consideration!
Naval Architect Thomas E. Colvin has drafted, built, and sold plans for many successful designs of cruising boats and other craft, plans often sold to dreamers of faraway places to be constructed "at home" of welded aluminum or steel plate. The success of Colvin's designs are seen with countless examples found in use and loved by happy owners all over the world!
But this particular schooner is far better than many, and here are some of the reasons why:
--This design, Doxy, has about 40% more interior volume than the cramped but better-known Gazelle design.
--The lead filled keel is one foot deeper than the original design, greatly improving stability and upwind sailing performance.
--After construction the entire boat was sandblasted inside and out, and then the deck and house were hot zinc flame-sprayed (galvanized) including inside and outside of gunnels, followed by five coats of Devoe Bar-Rust 235 epoxy paint sprayed on and topcoated with alkyd enamel. Bilge areas have ten coats of that epoxy paint!
--In January, 2015, the hull bottom was sandblasted bare, then two coats of epoxy primer, two coats of coal tar epoxy, and three coats of antifouling were applied. Splash this boat and GO!
--Also in 2015: two Trojan deep cycle 6-volt batteries and one Trojan deep cycle 12-volt battery were added. A new carburetor was installed on the low-use generator. A new 75-watt solar panel, Blue Sky 2000E solar controller, and 400-watt wind generator were installed.
--An impressive inventory of many anchors and excellent quantities of chain and rode promote wonderful sleep.
So here is your ideal cruising sailboat, already conveniently located in one of the best cruising areas in the world: the pristine Western Caribbean! Now safely tucked up the Rio Dulce in Guatemala for hurricane season, same-day cruising from the Rio can have you snorkeling or diving the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world – Belize it! Or, it's just an overnighter away to experience the Bay Islands of Honduras (Utila, Roatan, Guanaja, etc.). Great Yacht, Great Location… it's time to have fun!
