Contoocook man, 72, dies in Concord accident
CONCORD _ The driver of a sport-utility vehicle died after crashing into a tree on Monday.
Police say the Ford Explorer was the only vehicle involved in the accident around 11:15 a.m., near the intersection of Horse Hill and Runnells roads. The driver was taken to Concord Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The driver was a 72-year-old man from Contoocook. His name was not released as police tried to notify relatives.
Horse Hill Road was closed for nearly four hours while inspectors were on the scene.

Near the village of Gerzeh lay a cemetery with tombs from the Pre-Dynastic era, c. 4000-3000 BC. Petrie had previously excavated several cemeteries from this early period in Southern Egypt. To begin with it was his opinion that their occupants were of a new 'race'. Subsequently it became clear that the people concerned were not of another 'race', they had simply lived during a period before Egypt became a state and hieroglyphic writing had been invented. The finds from Gerzeh were of great interest since it was the first time that finds from this period had been made so far north in Egypt.

Excavations at Gerzeh
At the beginning of 1911 Gerald Wainwright was working for Petrie, helping excavate the tomb area north of Meydum [link til 'Meydum']. Near the village of Gerzeh he found a cemetery with many intact tombs from the Pre-Dynastic era. It was particularly the middle years of this period – c. 3600-3300 BC – which were represented, and Petrie, accordingly, called the period Gerzean.
The tombs were principally rectangular to oval graves. The dead person lay in the foetal position, surrounded by grave-goods: jars of pottery or stone, together with, in certain cases, strings of beads made of semi-precious stones and faience. The jars were filled with, or represented, food drink and fragrant ointments and oils. Many of the tombs contained small, miniature stone jars [ÆIN 1390-1407]. The Glyptotek received a selection of these in various types of stone.

Once upon a time the in-room telephone offered a modest revenue source, but today the high-priced, standard hotel phone service doesn't add a dime to the bottom line, thanks to the personal cellular phone. However, that hasn't stopped manufacturers from making sleek, savvy new phone technology that, one day, might just make the phone profitable again. Hoteliers agree that the in-room telephone is not only necessary but is fast becoming the entertainment control center for the guestroom. Technologies such as IP telephony, voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), video telephones, converged networks, and on-phone advertising opportunities have changed the original use of in-room phones, giving them new meaning.
What New Phones Can Do
In-room phones are now a more interactive part of providing hotel information to guests while offering another way to control in-room devices like lights, draperies and televisions, says hospitality and real estate consultant Mark Munger. As a consultant working with several hotels, Munger has installed a range of products from Cisco (www.cisco.com) to Nortel (www.nortel.com). In 2006, he installed the latest Cisco two-line touch screen VoIP telephone and IP TV linked with the thermostats and minibars at Hotel 1000 (www.hotel1000seattle.com) in Seattle.
"As all these devices become connected, the ability to manage them to provide service increases. As we provide the guest access and control via their choice of devices, the phone display will be one available portal to service the guest," explains Munger, who also installed IP phones at the InterContinental Boston.
Current in-room phone features that are in use include room service menus with pictures, spa offerings, customized group information such as attendee status, wake-up calls, real-time meeting room location and announcements, valet requests, and reward membership information, points out Munger.
The most advanced location that Munger has worked with to date is The Liberty Hotel in Boston (www.libertyhotel.com), where he installed VoIP telephones offering touch-screen hotel services, including a virtual gift shop. The virtual gift shop is displayed on the screen of the phone and snapshots of every item available can be viewed. Guests find the virtual gift shops more convenient because they can shop for items in the privacy of their suite and the bellman delivers purchased items. Hotels, on the other hand, find that the virtual gift shop is more profitable because the hotel can save the money that would have been used to build the store; plus a virtual gift shop allows the hotel to showcase a larger array of items than what they could display in a physical store. All the data is based on the network and can be accessed not only via the phone, but also through the TV or on a guest's laptop.
The Teledex iPhones (www.teledex.com) also offer a multitude of ways for a property to save money through process automation. For example, a guest that pre-orders breakfast saves the hotel money and time. In the manual method, a guest fills out a card that displays the various breakfast options and hangs the card outside their door. Hotel staff must manually collect the cards and enter the orders into their food tracking system.
When this process is moved to the phone, three things happen: 1) You don't need to spend money to print and reprint those pre-order cards; 2) You don't have to pay an employee to go around and collect them; and 3) You don't have to manually enter the orders into the PMS to allow for proper folio billing. It all happens automatically. Plus, the hotel can increase the take-rate for this profit center by automatically asking for the guest's order on the phone screen once they set their wakeup call.
John Edwards, director of IT/North America for Millennium Hotels and Resorts (www.millenniumhotels.com), says he's shifted his focus to IP telephony and the advantages that could come from this technology. "We want to try to start leveraging this technology to provide a more personalized experience in the guest room," explains Edwards. "We are also looking at SIP-enabled [session initiation protocol] cordless phones with multiple handsets. This will be a big advantage when reviewing the total cost of a new phone system installation. With no revenue from in-room phones, any new telephony equipment is much harder to justify."
Profit Factor
The reality is that many guests, tech-savvy or not, like to get into bed and call their loved ones to say goodnight; therefore the in-room phone is a necessity whether it makes money or not. Yet, Edwards points out, "Looking at the way we have traditionally handled in-room phones we should stop trying to make it a revenue center. If we can start to provide services through the phones that guests need, then there is a possibility things could turn around. A lot will depend on the solution and how valuable it is to our guests."
Munger agrees that these services will need to provide something that the guest values and is willing to consume and pay for again and again. "This could be soliciting restaurant, spa or golf reservations via a phone display, or advertising special offers on the phone when a particular service like the bar or spa is not busy," he says. There is also the possibility, he adds, for some integration between the guest's mobile device, profile information, and the in-room phone such that the in-room phone becomes more attractive to use. A telephone with a rich interactive display in the room allows a hotel to increase the take-rates of practically anything they have to sell or promote. It's a great way to move unsold inventory of virtually any type, from unsold seats to a show in Las Vegas, to unsold tee times or spa treatments at a resort; the list of things that can be promoted via the phone is virtually endless.
Future Phoning
The future will bring an in-room phone that's able to communicate with the guest's mobile device. If a guest could initiate a call on an in-room quality handset with full duplex speakerphone with their mobile device, that would be a reason for the guest to use the in-room phone, says Munger. "The in-room phone might even receive the calls that are made to the guest's mobile device. Integration with guests' personal services like Skype or Vonage is already being discussed and demonstrated."
For example, in Japan, RFID capabilities built into the cell phone SIM card enable a guest to check-in simply by walking past the lobby threshold and can even turn their cell phones into their room keys. It also might allow technologies such as fixed-mobile convergence, by blending their cell phone and the in-room phone services with real-time location tracking for housekeeping carts, video surveillance based on activity in certain areas, and other key features.
Edwards says even with this technology, however, he feels we are still behind the curve. "There is a lot of discussion about new features in guest room phones that might drive people to use the in-room phone again. This might be possible, but my concern is that we are reacting too slowly. If we are going to take advantage of technologies such as VoIP we need to come up with solutions today. Someone needs to deliver a new solution that guests will start to rely on and that hotels can easily and affordably implement. We run the risk of creating a cycle where we are always a little late in delivery and therefore never truly reap the rewards."
Nevertheless, the in-room phone must remain a fixture in any hotel that wishes to offer at least standard accommodations, says Munger. "It is right that a hotel has a lumpy bed and shower head that trickles water when turned on? What 'standard' did the hotel promise to me or advertise to me to get me to stay there, and was a phone in the room part of that standard? A communication device in the room is required. Let not the phones go passively into the night."

Arsène Wenger has reiterated his faith in Vito Mannone as the Italian prepares for his third game of the season on Tuesday.
The Italian goalkeeper will start against Montpellier after Wojciech Szczesny was not passed fit for Arsenal's Champions League opener.
Mannone has kept clean sheets against Stoke and Liverpool and Wenger is confident the 24-year-old has all the attributes to succeed once more.
"Vito, as I told you last week, is very close," the Frenchman told Arsenal Player. "He gets another opportunity now. He has belief and he has the mental strength to deal with that."
Under-21s goalkeeper James Shea has also travelled after a strong start to the season with Terry Burton's youngsters.
"He was on the list as goalkeeper No 5 at the beginning of the season and now he is No 2," said Wenger. "That shows you how quickly football can change.
"Martinez is [ineligible] from the [B] list and Wojciech [Szczesny] and Fabianski are injured. So Mannone will play tomorrow."

It has been rumored and all but expected for some time, but Detroit Lions running back Jahvid Best was finally put on the Physically Unable to Perform list Monday. He will not be able to play until at least Week 8. He still hasn't been cleared for contact after suffering a concussion last season. Best did take part in offseason workouts but has spent all of training camp on the sidelines.
Fantasy Analysis:
It was basically a given but still quite unfortunate for Best, who just can't shake his problems with concussions, which date back to college. It's fair to wonder if he will play a down this season. You can take him off of your radar. Kevin Smith and Mikel Leshoure will open the season as the team's top two RBs. Smith will be the starter early on as Leshoure sits through a two-game suspension. Both running backs have been so prone to injury as pros, but Smith is a flex option in the early weeks. Leshoure will get more and more work as the season rolls along.

Arsène Wenger insists England has the strongest league in Europe - despite the travails of Manchester City and Chelsea.
Roberto Mancini's side have been eliminated from the Champions League at the group stage for the second year running, while holders Chelsea face a major task to progress.
But Wenger does not believe it is a case of the Premier League declining, more that the rest of Europe is starting to catch up.
"Maybe we have less room, less margin [for error] than we had before when it was just a question of when we would qualify," the Arsenal manager said.
"Now German football has come up, Spanish football is there every year and some French clubs have come back like Paris Saint-Germain. It looks less obvious for us.
"I don't think we are getting worse. Man City has gone out but you can objectively say they were in a difficult group and they are still a good side as they are top of the Premier League.
"I'd still say England is the strongest [league in Europe], because in England if they want a player they get him still. As long as that happens you will be the most powerful in Europe.
"England is best, because there's something more here. It's not only linked with what you see on the pitch but how you experience football.
"That's what I believe deeply. And when I speak to the players they say exactly the same."

I recently returned from the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Annual Meeting in Seattle, WA. Many of us from INBT attended the four-day conference, gave podium and poster presentations, networked with professors and grad students from our respective fields. The conference placed heavy emphasis on topics of biomaterials for drug and gene delivery, but also had a strong showing of topics that are relevant to my research — cardiovascular and tissue engineering.
I gave a talk on microfluidics-based microencapsulation of stem cells for cardiac regenerative therapy, and attended as many talks as my mind could handle. From protein/peptide enhancement of angiogenesis (regrowth of blood vessels), to designs in microfluidic devices, to imaging techniques to show tissue functional recovery, I feel enriched and very much inspired.
We also had opportunities to visit parts of Seattle in our down times. Among other exciting things, there was a conference "bash" that was held at the EMP Museum at the Seattle Center which had very unique exhibits. The "underground tour" showed me the history of Seattle that I never thought existed. I'm truly grateful to have had the opportunity to experience this year's BMES.

Discussion in 'March 2009' started by Dlev59, Mar 8, 2009.
Walter Herrmann really spreads the floor.
Hermann scoreboard tracking for those who care 1st half; entered at 2:47; 5 pt lead/exited at 8:56 in the 2nd; down 3 enters at 1:06; makes three/ +3 points - Score impact; -5 Overall Stat impact; 1-1, 0-0-0 "Intangible" impact; -9 Highlight play; his one three pointer 2nd half; Curry spares us, but still overplays Dyess and benches Amir. We go small. Curry is trying to be funny. OT. A win is a win ? Bosh is unimpressive even with a very favorable match-up IMO. So are we. And so is Rip's shooting % and shot selection. His assists however are not. Curry is not a good coach. Dyess played almost 48 min after playing an insane amount against the Knicks. Amir needs to be traded or needs to play. The Pistons org needs to pick one and run with it. I'm not sure if asking Rip to play SG and PG is the right thing (Sheed being out minimizes it's effectiveness), but Stuck needs all the practice he can get unless Stuckey as a PG has been scrapped. We could also benefit from a coach that can help Stuck defensively. He needs it. And it also wouldn't kill anyone to give Stuck a chance down the stretch. Oh and AA and his clutch say hi We miss Sheed tremendously esp since the on person who can have an even comparable effect is on the bench. <and Bosh is scared of him> And can someone please teach Max how to BOX OUT?
Was Sheed sitting on the bench tonight?
I don't know. I didn't see him and he usually makes himself visible.
Another nail biter, but the "favored" team wins and goes to 6-2 without AI and still can win 50 games if they finish the season 17-1 Rip almost another triple double with 24 points, 16 assists and 6 turnovers. Dice another double-double 16 pts 13 boards...but once again 45 mins (including OT) and he had a goal tend miscue and a fumbled a pass from Stuckey with about 25 seconds left in OT... Afflolo hits two 3's with one coming near the end OT to extend lead. Tay wakes up in OT with a wide open 3 and a long 2 Stuckey played well hitting the key shot when needed, but left the distributing to Rip star of the game?? Max, hit his first 7 shots and then got the key game tying block and insurance bucket on the record breaking assist from rip.. Pistons almost gave it away with 15 turnovers in the first half, but only 3 in the second. Rip got another tech..anybody know where he stands in the tech count? poor Raptors...I hope Bosh and Joe had a wink-wink agreement to save some dough for him in 2010. If Calderon is available, I would take him in 2009 ....
That is Rip's 6th tech I believe.
That's what I'm saying. DET started a 6'5 PF and decrepit 6'9 C who according to some posters has a blinking neon sign above his head saying SCORE HERE and not one time did Bosh ever go into the post and call for the ball. He took about 35 shots and 28 of them were long jumpers. What am I missing regarding this guy? How is he the upgrade everyone yearns for? When DET went up 8 in OT the only question was how quickly they would give it back.
First, I am sad at the passing of Mr. Davidson. He will be missed. Now the game. Now so important right now. But here is my report. First half, starters did fine, but Curry then butchered the rotations. Herrmann was one of the first subs in. Herrmann plays no D. In fact, with Toronto fast breaking, Herrmann can never even begin to catch up to things, find someone to cover, before Toronto is putting ball in the hoop. Curry wised up to this, brought in Afflalo. Great. Common sense at last. But will it last more than this game? Curry played much to much small ball in the first half. He went to it a bit in the 2nd half too, but only in fairly short spurts. In all, he coached a pretty good 2nd half. Back to Afflalo. Pretty darn good defender, but against Marion, not so great. The size advantage is a bit much there for Arron to overcome. Worse, Curry let them have this matchup in crunchtime and they burnt us. Hey, if you want Afflalo to play in this game for a defensive presence, play him for Rip or Stuckey. Anyhow, the fact we won, the fact Afflalo played pretty good D, probably does not matter to Curry. Afflalo did hit a few shots, including two triples - one very key one in the waning seconds of OT to put us up 5. Maybe Curry will remember that. Its a shame that a guy like Afflalo would have to even make one shot to earn playing time over a guy like Herrmann, but I will certaninly take it anyway. (If Curry actually has any sense and will keep playing Afflalo.)(And telling Dumars to dump Herrmann) Bynum played effectively enough to give Stuckey plenty of rest. Job done. He hit an outside shot. Stuckey was played off of a lot, and he continually nailed his jumpers. Yes, it seemed odd that Stuckey passed the ball to Dyess when it seemed it was his shot to make there in crunch time. Still, when we first got Rip, Rip absolutely did no crunch time scoring. Just had to accept the team leading scoring he provided and let someone else do the work in crunch time. So far, Stuckey has not at all showed the discrepency here that Rip had once upon a time. Still worth tracking for the fun of it going forward this season. Rip was a mixed bag. A ton of assists. Career high. 16 I believe. Made 21 points, on 22 shots. Poor shooting night, but yet with the free throws he got about a point a shot - which is not great but is acceptable for a volume scorer. But then he had a bunch of turns too. 7 or 8. So so game, or great game if you consider being involved in about half of your team's scoring something special. Dyess had another fine rebounding and shooting game. Of course, we won this one. Dyess still played too many minutes - but at least he did not play the first five minutes of the 4th quarter. Yes indeed, he looked quite fresh coming off that breather, nailing two shots right there. Dyess did ok defensively on Bosh and had a key defensive stop on Marion. I am not saying he did great defensively, just ok. JMAX was 8 of 9. His only miss was an 18 footer from above the free throw line. He hit a 15 footer from the right, and a short jumper from the left. Otherwise, all dunks. He played some tenacious D on Bosh at times. Amir did not play. Sheed is still injured. Game to game last I read. A stained calf. No update that I heard on when AI is returning. I see someone posted an article about a friend giving his opinion that AI does not like it here. Just an opinion. I bet AI would like it fine here if we won a championship. Everyone stay focused. Tay shot poorly but had several assists. And he made some shots in crunch time. Still, of great concern - no backup small forward for Tay against bigger small forwards. Herrmann can't play any defense at all. Afflalo is often to short, and Rip is often too light. We just about have to try Amir there at that spot. Otherwise, we are just going to continue to overplay Tay, and he will be wiped out by time the playoffs roll around. Which is very, very soon at this point. We jumped out the gate in OT, 8-0, and held on, barely. If you look at the plus minus of this game - you see that we were heavily plus with our starters. Our starters featured a point guard, one with some height. A shooting guard, one with some height. A small forward, one with some height. A power forward, one with immense strength and a whole lot of quickness. And a center, one who is really good at rebounding the ball. Our starting unit featured four scorers, five if you include JMAX, who was after all leading us in scoring thru the first 3 quarters. Defense? Rip. Ok. Stuckey. Ok. Tay. Fine. JMAX. Excellent. Dyess, OK. A pretty well balanced unit in all. The trick - Curry needs to use this model for as much of each game as he can manage. Sorry, this means playing Amir. This also means playing Kwame some. As we approach the playoffs, how is Curry doing getting the roster ready? Not nearly as good as he could be doing. However, I have seen other coaches do worse in that department. If Curry starts playing Amir regularly, and Afflalo, while continuing to play Kwame, he could end up having a halfway prepared roster at least. And if he actually plays these guys in the first round, we could get some momentum built up for the later rounds. Well, its up to Curry now.
Yep I checked, your are correct my friend Just seems like more...Does lead the team in turnovers or offensive fouls?
I'm with you. From what i've seen he barely operates in the post and he doesn't have a really strong post game to begin with. My major problem with him doesn't really lie in his game (although his defense does bother me) as much as the fact that he tends to choke under pressure. I've seen Sheed easily take him out of the game mentally and i really don't want to that trait in a max or "franchise" player.
I don't understand the question my friend!
Dwight does have the same problem; although he's shown signs of getting over it and has started taking it to Sheed. But to me it's not a comparable example. Dwight Howard is a physical beast. His body alone allows him to be more effective than Bosh while having absolutely no moves other than the "dunk" and the "spin" and regardless of his mental problems. Dwight is also far ahead defensively. He's like KG in a way that even though he chokes, the defense is always there. His upside warrants the risk. With Bosh, how much better can he really get?
It's not just Sheed, KG & Duncan regularly beat up on him. Dyess laid a pretty good one on him tonight. Sheed laid a beating on him right after the "trade" this year that just shouldn't happen at their respective ages. I shudder to think what those guys would do to Bosh when they were his age.
But at least Howard's inside game would satisfy the, 'got to get in the post and quit being lazy!' people. Bosh takes more outside shots than Sheed for less points and Sheed is universally loathed. Is it merely the calendar, how the box score reads in the morning?
Sorry what I meant does Rip lead the team in offensive fouls or turnovers? 16 TO's in the last three games...offset by the 35 assists is not bad I guess, but that is what happens when you are handling the ball as much as he is. I checked and for the season the turnovers are as follows including tonight Stuckey > 138 AI > 130 with Pistons (140 total) Rip > 108
We were missing 3 players who have started 121 games for us this year, who get paid $39 Million, we were on the road coming off of a tough overtime loss, and our owner passed away. But we pulled one out that would have made Bill D. proud. Crazy game. For everything frustrating the Pistons did, they did 1.1 other things great. Rip was the perfect embodiment of that. If he would have happened to be hitting his outside shot, this would have been an enormous game for him and we would have won easily. Still, he's so active offensively lately that he's drawing the defense towards him and he's been smart to pass out of it about 25 times per game. A pattern is developing that I'm not too fond of though... that is when Rip comes to the top and gets the ball possession after possession. He's not a PG and he's going to cough up the ball a lot if you ask him to initiate every possession. Also, Stuckey is very valuable when the other team thinks he might drive, not when he's curling on the baseline. Very efficient game from Maxiell. Doesn't have to do anything special, just look for the ball around the rim and play tough defense. Tonight was a good match-up for him physically compared to some nights. He's been dunking the bejezus out of the ball lately. Very fun to watch. They feel like they're worth double when he does that. Stuckey? Hitting more outside shots, which seems to be the difference on whether he has a good game or not. Would have been a real bummer if we would have ended up blowing another lead after last game. Very good for the psyche of the team that they came away with this one.
I really don't want to get into a debate with you, but your comment was just so obviously open ended, I couldn't let it go. First the standard was choking, and Sheed locking him down. Well, DHo fits that to the T. In fact, Bosh plays a more normal game against Sheed compared to how much DHo is absolutely taken out of his game. Then, you indicate that DHo plays defense. Well, DHo plays center and usually has the easiest matchup on defense every night. Kendrick Perkins and Big Z aren't exactly NBA legends of the game. Certainly a far cry from Patrick Ewing and Brad Daugherty. I dunno. He shoots 49% from the floor as a big man jumpshooter, nearly 80% from the stripe, he puts up 22 + 9, and he's a capable screen and roll or pick and pop player. Dwight operates in a phone booth, which is why he is so easy to defend if you can stand your ground against him. People cry about Amir Johnson not getting playing time, and then saying they can't see what is so special about Chris Bosh. Which makes sense, because at one time, there were people who told me that Darko would prove it was a mistake to take LBJ at #1 overall. Is Bosh a superb defender? hell no. Neither is Lamarcus Aldridge. I would trade Max, Kwame and Amir, maybe AA too for either of those guys. 20+10 big men don't grow on trees. Bosh / DHo / Sheed and McDyess this year Player Comparison Finder - Basketball-Reference.com Bosh / McDyess / Sheed @ Age 24 Player Comparison Finder - Basketball-Reference.com You're comparing cagey veteran big men with more than 10 seasons in the league, to a guy at the beginning of his career. It's like asking if 34 year old Rasheed could shut down 24 year old Dice, or if 33 year old Dice could shut down himself at age 24 (based on the Nuggets 18-34 strike season, I would take a chance on YES). Bottom line, it's not mental toughness. Sheed and Dice are still in the game because they know how to play, and have built up a ton of experience on multiple teams, under multiple coaches. Mutumbo and Dale Davis didn't play as late into their careers because they had a nice FT %. If we're going to pay Amir $3 million a year, Max $5 million a year, and Kwame $4 million a year, or even entertaining Carlos the rat Boozer, then I cannot fathom how Bosh is overrated. Man, you'd think Buddhatrain was Bruce Bowen with this crowd...
Bosh is not going to single handedly turn the franchise around but he would be a great pickup if we could get him. A guy who can avg 20/10 - I don't know. Think you have to go for it. Great win and hopefully Davidson got to see the end of it. Looking like a mirror image of the Knick game but Curry ran things better and the team was extra inspired to start OT. You could tell that they were not going to let another slip away. Game note - Afflalo is a better 3-pt shooter than Herman.
I'll take any big name big man. The Raptors do play better defense, hold their opponent to a lower eFG%, and rebound better without Bosh on the floor, but their scoring suffers dramatically. Bosh is an offensive weapon and a PF, which probably explains this effect a bit. Toronto has him playing twice as much at the C as at the PF, mainly because they have no other options. O'Neal didn't work out so great and Bargnani is Sheed minus all defensive desire and ability. When Bosh plays PF, TOR gives up 98.4 pts/100poss. When Bosh plays C, TOR gives up 104.1 pts/100poss. 6 points is a pretty big difference. If he had a real center next to him, I would think that he'd be much more effective.

The possibility of failing is partly what gives good courses their validity. For courses where there is no possibility of failing, even at much lower cost, you might just as well go down the Khao San Road in Bangkok and buy a certificate for 500 baht ;)

Google them and check them out and then let me know if you think it's worth taking.

I have three contacts in South Korea right now and two in Vietnam. They seem to enjoy it and they do not describe circumstances currently attributed to CELTA training.
Please reconcile this for me.

In only his sixth year of teaching in the Knowledge is Power Program SHARP College Prep, Adam Kutac, a University of St. Thomas alumnus, won a 2012 Kinder Excellence in Teaching Award for teaching in Houston Independent School District. Kutac earned both his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2007, with minors in philosophy and creative writing, and a Master of Education in 2010 from St. Thomas.
"I wanted to become a teacher because I wanted to change lives," Kutac said. "Growing up I did not have a good experience in elementary school. I never want students to feel like they are not smart or can't do something because I didn't teach them. As long as I am around and in education, I will empower my students to take risks and prove that nothing is impossible."
Each year, the Kinder Excellence in Teaching Award recognizes 15 Houston teachers, including 10 teachers from YES Prep Public Schools and KIPP with $20,000 each.
A fourth-grade reading teacher, Kutac has taught children as young as 3 years old in a variety of courses, such as reading, math, writing, science and social studies. KIPP SHARP College Prep is a program focused on getting children to and through college by demonstrating the importance of higher education.
"Higher education is extremely important," Kutac said. "It is no longer an option. I could not imagine where I would be right now if it wasn't for the education I received from UST."
As the youngest of four children, Kutac was the first in his family to attend and graduate from college. A graduate of Cypress Creek High School, Kutac chose St. Thomas because of its mission, which he said promotes a balanced education in faith and leadership that prepared him for KIPP.
"At my school, we do a lot of character education," Kutac said. "We have values that each child must own and live every day. These values help teach our students what it means to be a good and caring person. Our values are: Honor, Explore with Enthusiasm, Always with Excellence, Ready to try again and Together, or HEART Values."
Showing his school spirit, Kutac hangs a UST banner in his classroom and wears his class ring to work every day. Kutac tries to mimic the teaching style of his favorite professors, especially Dr. Janet Lowery, professor and Cullen Chair of English and Creative Writing. He said his most enjoyable classroom experiences were in her creative writing classes.
Lowery said she is proud of Kutac.
"I'm so happy for Adam," Lowery said. "He was an ideal student in my classes and was always attentive and considerate of his fellow students. He has a great deal of integrity also and has the ability to persevere in his studies. He deserves every success."
Dr. Patricia Vandiver, associate professor in psychology and Cullen Trust for Higher Education/Dolores Welder Mitchell chair, said Kutac was a great student in his child psychology class.
"The child psychology class requires that students participate in a service-learning component, and Adam met each challenge with enthusiasm," Vandiver said. "It's always wonderful to see that amazing students such as Adam are recognized for their hard work and leadership abilities.
Dr. Emiliano Gonzalez, associate professor of education, said he was fortunate to know Kutac while he completed his master's in the School of Education.
"His knowledge and skills and love for education make him an effective leader at KIPP Sharpstown, a Title I school where 98 percent of the students are at or below poverty level," Gonzalez said. "As an assistant principal, he is loved by his students and respected by his peers, all a great testimony to his commitment for educating all students to ensure success."
Inspired by professors like these, Kutac said his ultimate dream is to give back to the University that shaped him and perhaps one day teach at UST.
"I am very thankful for my UST family for molding me into the person I am today," Kutac said. "I am a better person and a leader in education because of the wonderful people who guided me through college."

I'm currently trying to complete a lesson plan on the following text for my tefl course. I feel i've done ok, but would greatly appreciate some advice before i submit my answers to the following questions:-
a). What level of learner would the text be suitable for?
b). What vocabulary would you pre-teach?
c). What detailed/global questions would you ask?
Thanks to anyone who can help.
Two college students were standing on a street smoking cigarettes in Salt Lake City, USA when they were confronted by a gang of 20 teenagers carrying chains, bricks and a giant can of pepper gas. This is nothing strange in itself, but this gang, known as Straight Edgers, are a bit different.
Straight Edge members do not drink, smoke, take drugs, or have casual sex and are often vegetarian. Gang members often shave their heads and pierce their bodies with metal studs and rings. Their symbol, which is often seen on tattoos, is a black X in between smaller letters S and E.
Neil J, a Straight Edger from Washington D.C., explains this youth movement in more detail: "In a nutshell, Straight Edge is a youth movement associated with the hard-core and punk music scene, but with a big difference. It refers to a person who excludes all forms of drugs from their lives, including alcohol and cigarettes. Many don't even drink coffee because of the caffeine and won't take aspirin for a headache, as these are all things which pollute your body. Many Straight Edgers are vegetarian as a cruelty free lifestyle is good for them, the environment, and animals."
Another part of being a member is putting something back into the Straight Edger community. This could be by being in a band, writing an underground magazine, helping out in a collective or just doing something for someone apart from yourself to make the world a better place. Basically the whole movement centres around the issue of self control and getting rid of the negative impacts which influence your life.

Yes, quality construction, POS function.
I does work with elastic waist shorts or pants, like track-pants, and with a VERY small auto. With jeans or dress pants, it is too deep to access well, and too uncomfortable to sit with. And when you do sit, you look like you're VERY happy to see everyone!
Just my opinion...

Oregon Focus: Native American Legends: Crater Lake
About the Crater Lake legend
Because of the intensity of its water and the uniqueness of its formation, Native Americans have many legends about Crater Lake. The legends usually make the lake and the mountain around it the dwelling place of the great spirits that rule their lives, and they regard it as a sacred place where they are not welcomed.
The Klamath Indians have told this story about Crater Lake:
A band of Indians were returning from a hunting trip and went up a mountain. At the top of the mountain they looked into its crater and saw a most beautiful blue lake -- bluer than the skies above it. They were awed by the intensity of the blue depths and by the smoking island in the lake. They were sure it was the home of Llaos, the Great Spirit.
Feeling that they had invaded forbidden ground, they quickly retreated down the slope and made camp for the night at a fitting distance away.
But one of the Indian braves could not forget the beautiful sight. He could not resist going back to stand on the rim and gaze at it. When he came away he felt much stronger. He went again and came away stronger and more powerful. After a third visit he grew daring and decided to go down the steep side of the crater. He bathed in the beautiful blue waters. After this he was the strongest and most skillful warrior of the tribe.
Other Indians wanted to do as he had done. So they also looked at the lake and bathed in its waters and each one came away more powerful than he had been before. They were better hunters, faster runners, more sure of their skills.
But one day, for some unknown reason, one Indian brave, when he was bathing in the lake, killed one of the creatures that lived in the water. Suddenly hundreds of the lake creatures, or Llaos, came from the water, rushed after the warrior and killed him. This ended the spell for all Indians, and they now knew that they could no longer go to the lake.
The fathers told their sons, and those sons told their sons that "death will come to any Indian who even dares to gaze upon the blue waters of Llaos Mountain."
Suggestions for teachers
Ask students to:
Invite someone who has worked as a guide at Crater Lake to class to share their experiences.
Share their stories from vacations to Crater Lake.
Pantomime the Indian legend of Crater Lake.
Create drawings illustrating the events depicted in the legend.
Ask a Native American knowledgeable about legends to talk to the class.
Discuss Native American cultures, past and present. Consider why and how Oregon tribes have changed.
Learn how Crater Lake was formed and why its so blue.

Do you eat carrots because they are good for your eyes, avoid chocolate because it makes you break out, or not let your kids eat sugar because it will make them hyper? Unfortunately, when stacked up against medical facts, many of these beliefs are misperceptions. Test your knowledge of nutrition folklore by answering the questions below.
Do Eggs Raise Your Cholesterol Levels?
Although egg yolks contain cholesterol (about 184 milligrams [mg]), many scientists think that eating foods high in saturated fats and trans-fats has a greater impact than dietary cholesterol in raising blood cholesterol levels. Still, the daily recommended limit for people with normal cholesterol levels is 300 mg per day. This means that if you eat one egg, the rest of your day's diet needs to be very low in cholesterol.
Eggs are a source of high quality protein and provide many vitamins and minerals, including the amino acid tryptophan, selenium, vitamin A, iodine, riboflavin (vitamin B2), vitamin B12, vitamin D, among other nutrients.
A study from the University of Washington has found that eating 2 eggs daily may lead to a small but significant increase in LDL, also known as bad cholesterol. Other studies suggest that people vary quite significantly in how much effect egg consumption has on their cholesterol levels. If you have high cholesterol or are at risk for developing it, talk to your doctor about your diet and whether you should limit how many eggs you eat. Remember, too, that you can always just eat the eggs whites, which have protein but no cholesterol.
Does Eating Chocolate or Other Sugary Foods Give You Acne?
There is no scientific evidence that eating any food, including chocolate or other sugary foods, leads to acne. Acne results from a combination of factors such as heredity, overactive oil glands, dead skin cells that block skin pores, and hormonal changes. However, some new research has been done that suggest that nutrition-related lifestyle factors may play a role in the development of acne. Specifically, a low glycemic index diet has been associated in one study with improvement of acne. However, more research is needed to clarify this.
Will Carrots Improve Your Vision?
It is true that carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential for sight, and an extreme vitamin A deficiency can cause blindness. But, only a small amount of beta-carotene is necessary for good vision. So, if you are not deficient in vitamin A, your vision will not improve no matter how many carrots you eat. Nonetheless, carrots are a great contribution to your recommended fruits and veggie intake!
Does Sugar Make You Hyper?
Many studies have looked at the effect of sugar on children's behavior and none have found evidence of a sugar high, even in children who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Keep in mind, however, that there are healthy and unhealthy sources of sugar. Natural sources of sugar, like fruit, add other important nutrients to your child's diet. This is not the case when sugar is added to foods like candy and soda.
Does Eating Chicken Noodle Soup Help You Get Over a Cold?
Researchers have not been able to prove that chicken noodle soup can cure the common cold, but they have developed theories to explain the apparent healing properties of this popular home remedy. Some believe that steam from the hot soup clears congested noses and throats. Others believe that it may have inherent anti-inflammatory effects, thereby providing symptom relief. Still others say it is purely psychological. In any case, there is no known cure for the common cold. If you're sick, what you need to do is drink fluids and get plenty of rest.
Will Eating Carbohydrates Make You Gain Weight?
Low-carbohydrate diets are popular these days, but the truth of the matter is that carbohydrate foods are an important source of energy, fiber, vitamins, and minerals for your body. Carbohydrates, like any other type of food, can cause you to gain weight if you burn fewer calories than you consume. So, if you want to lose weight, do so by eating less of any type of food, exercising more, or doing a little of both. Most adults should get about 45%-65% of their calories from carbohydrates. Under special circumstances, your doctor or nutritionist may advise you to follow a specific diet in which the carbohydrate content might be different.
Are Nuts Fattening?
Yes, nuts are fattening, if you eat too many. But, eaten in moderation, nuts can be a healthy addition to your diet. Studies have found that tree nuts, such as almonds, cashews, and walnuts, added to a healthy diet may help to reduce the risk of heart disease and improve cholesterol levels. Plus, having a serving of nuts provides nutrients like protein and the mineral manganese.
Will Eating Extra Protein Build More Muscle?
Weight training is the key to building and strengthening muscle. The only way to build bigger, stronger muscles is to exercise them. To fuel heavy weight training, the body needs extra calories, especially from carbohydrates. If you eat excessive amounts of protein, the extra calories will simply be stored as fat or burned. According to MyPlate, most adults need 5 to 6-½ ounces (142-184 grams) of protein per day, but this really depends on a number of factors like your gender, age, and activity level. If you are participating in a weight training routine, you may want to work with a nutritionist to make sure that you are getting the nutrients that you need.
Is Red Meat Bad For You?
Red meat, which includes beef, veal, lamb, pork, and wild game, contains saturated fat. But, it also provides an excellent source of the minerals iron and zinc, vitamin B12, and protein. A review of 17 studies found that processed meat, not red meat, increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes. And, compared to lean white meat, lean red meat does not seem to worsen cholesterol levels.
If you trim visible fat and choose lean cuts, you will minimize your saturated fat intake. Note, too, the select grade of meat is lower in fat than choice and prime grades. Also, be aware that a serving size is just 2-3 ounces (56-85 grams) of cooked meat. Also, you may want to choose meat that comes from organic farms, where the animals are allowed to graze and use of hormones or antibiotics is minimized.
Are Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Better for You Than Canned or Frozen?
Frozen and canned fruits and vegetables can be just as nutritious and fresh. In fact, fruits and vegetables sitting on grocery store shelves or in your refrigerator often lose some of their vitamins to heat, light, and water. Frozen produce tends to keep most of its nutrients because packaging occurs right after being picked. Canned produce loses some vitamins during the heating process, but still contains fiber and other nutrients. But, bear in mind, canned vegetables are high in sodium, and canned fruits packed in syrup are high in sugar.

Hi all,
I've been freelancing solidly for the past couple of years, and am wanting to get some tips on productivity from more experienced people.
My last project took me to hell and back, and I am now just recuperating. The main problem is doing the work to the clients satisfaction. Ultimately you can quote a certain amount of hours, based on what you think they want. But what if they want more than you expect?
My last project, I worked from draft images of the pages – followed them perfectly. However, after the client viewed them, they wanted to make changes regarding spacing. Because they didnt understand how to use a measurement of pixels to communicate the exact spacing they desired, it ended up meaning a few hours extra for each of the pages I worked on. I didn't charge for this extra time, and am wondering if other designers do, and/or what is the process they take in dealing with this?
Also, if anyone has any other tips/tools good for efficiency, and productivity for freelancers.
I always discuss with the client all details and a deadline prior to work. As they say in Russia "before getting into the boat"
+1 – I usually write up a document that explains the work that I will be doing in great detail, including mock ups and what not. I then have them sign a paper (or agree in email) to proceed with the project and I make it clear that if there are changes along the way, the cost will change accordingly. It will make the client think twice about making changes like that because they know it will cost more money.
Just my two cents. Good luck to you!
Hi @MultiLeadia…. in my professional experience these 'extra changes/requests' initiated by the client are called 'Authors' as in "The Authors own corrections" or words to that effect .. (ie: client revisions/alterations). These are, and generally should be charged at an even higher rate above and beyond that of your standard hourly rate…or the initial agreed final project cost… and charged at an hourly rate for the duration of that extension. Next time, stipulate in your cost estimate that any additional work requested beyond the scope of the initial delivery of the final project or brief will incur these fees. This is not uncommon practice in the industry.
@IOSHVA That is exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you. Thanks to the two others also for their input, much appreciated

There is a simple system to stop "creative" clients from wasting your time. Charge them more for each revision.

Apparently you didn't read IOSHVA's response
I discuss about every detail, but i was also in situations where i had to do 'free' work in order to make client happy.
Create a requirements document and scope it out. If they ask for something not in the requirements doc, tell them you are happy to do it, but it will cost them.
Often times a client will try to ask, whats the worst thing you can say? no. But a lot of times freelancers will say yes, taking a burden.
Now, if they ask for the fancy ajax calendar, you can tell them it is scope creep and will push you over budget. hence needing another contract supplement of business.
Hope this helps. Tim

Hot Chip
Self-released by Hot Chip in 2002, Sanfrandisco E-Pee dabbled in more playful sounds, from the beatbox dubbing of the title track to the closing notes of "Fanta," in which Taylor pleads with the listener to "make sounds of the summer." The group signed to revered N.Y.C. record label DFA in 2005 and released the Over and Over EP, as well as the excellent 2006 full-length The Warning, which was followed by a DJ-Kicks mix album in 2007. Late that year, the Grammy nominated single "Ready for the Floor" heralded the arrival of Made in the Dark, which featured some of the band's most focused grooves and poppiest melodies to date. The mellower One Life Stand followed in 2010, along with a remix collection later that year. Hot Chip left DFA for Domino, which released the more uptempo, experimental In Our Heads in 2012 and the following year's Dark and Stormy EP. The band returned in 2015 with Why Make Sense?, which found them reuniting with In Our Heads producer Mark Ralph and exploring sounds ranging from disco to '90s R&B to post-punk. ~ Karen E. Graves

Mikael Silvestre insists that Arsenal can bounce back "very quickly" at Stoke on Saturday after their shock 4-4 draw against Tottenham in midweek.
With only seconds of normal time remaining in Wednesday's North London derby at Emirates Stadium, Arsenal were cruising at 4-2. However two last-gasp Spurs goals secured an unlikely point for the Gunners' old enemy.
Silvestre, who scored his first Arsenal goal against Harry Redknapp's men, admitted that the draw was difficult to stomach but was certain that there were plus-points from the performance.
"As the manager said there was a lot of positive things about this game but it is something we have to bounce back from very quickly," said the 31-year-old.
"It was painful because, at 4-2 up, you think you have won it and conceding two goals in the last four or five minutes of the game is very hard. It feels like we lost that game.
"I didn't think I would score that early in my Arsenal career but it was good to get it back to 1-1.
"I think we made it difficult for ourselves because we had to concede that first goal to press a bit more, be more aggressive and more positive in our game.
"We would rather play like we played at West Ham, where we were much more sturdy. It was a good team performance there. If we can repeat that [on Saturday] it would be better than the 4-4."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

$ 25 parts
One of the pick your part yards had a $ 25 all you can carry saturday
I filled a plastic tub with all the AMC parts plus extra odds and ends, used a seat belt strap around my shoulders . I did the conversion with 48 and earlier spindles, I saw amc brakes on a 30's I beam GM car, the guy cut off the spindle stub and ground the face flat.
All AMC spindles interchange. If you have an AMC car with disc brakes the entire setup will bolt off and bolt onto a drum brake upright. Just get everything from the caliper bracket out, including the spindle. Disc and drum brake spindles have different thickness bases, that's why the spindle is needed. In general dis spindles are thicker due to the different offset of the rotor/hub. You could space the drum spindle out if necessary, but most get the disc spindle.
The problem is parts availability. 79-83 AMC units are the ONLY ones I'd consider using. Some chain parts stores still have a source for the 79-83 rotors (calipers are easy to get for all), some don't. Last one I bought from Auto Zone for $55 two years ago -- Advance couldn't get one (AZ might not be able to now!). You have to go to an AMC parts vendor (yes, there are 3-4 out there!) to get the older rotors, maybe some antique brake parts vendors, and they are $100+ each. The Scarebird setup for $400 or less with current production parts is a lot better in the long run. If you need new rotors for a pre 79 AMC setup you've easily spent over half the cost of the Scarebird system. If you have a parts car with turnable rotors it might be worth using them, until you need rotors a few years down the road. Even the 79-83 should top $100 each in the next 3-5 years. The late model Scarebird parts will be available a lot longer, and right now they are using a $20 rotor. Buy a couple extra sets and store them!!
The AMC spindle on the 40 Ford upright with a Scarebird kit would be a reasonably priced disc brake upgrade. The only modification would be to the upright to the AMC spindle bolt pattern. Most AMC spindles are the same on the end, just different thickness to the base -- which can be spaced out or milled down. The exception is 75-78 models. Those used a big bearing spindle -- you want ANY 1952-83 Nash/Rambler/AMC drum or disc spindle EXCEPT 75-78. A Mustang II rotor will even fit the AMC spindle, but you'd have to make a caliper bracket to align the caliper over the rotor as the MII rotor has a different offset than the AMC rotor.
Speedway makes a 37-40 Ford disc brake kit that requires no modifications though -- and it's reasonably priced at $250. No point in spending that much on an AMC spindle conversion!
AMC bolt on's
I saw a conversion in a magazine using AMC Disc brake bolt on spindles on modofied 40's ford spindles. I did it but wish I hadn"t ruined a set of ford spindles . The disc brake spindles might fit your drum brake uprights.
|The real question is WHY?? The 63+ Rambler suspension is basically the same as the Mustang II. It does have upper trunnion joints instead of ball joints (lower arm has a ball joint), but that isn't a problem. The upper trunnion rarely gives problems and it's easy to replace if it does. There are easily affordable disc brake options. Scarebird (Scarebird Classic Brakes LLC) makes one that will run about $400 with everything. The thing to remember is that ANY AMC kit will fit Ramblers back to 1950, all Nash/AMC back to 1952. There might be some minor mods, like a little grinding or spacing for clearance, but most need nothing. Aerospace Components makes a really nice four piston brake setup if you want to go show. Again, it's listed for AMX and Javelin, but I can guarantee you it fits the older Ramblers like yours. On the big Ramblers the spring towers don't get in the way of a V-8 installation (nor the 64+ smaller American, just 63 and earlier). They were made to mount the AMC GEN-1 V-8, which is close to the same size of a 396 Chevy or FE Ford. A big block will fit, though it will be a little tight. A small block has all kinds of room -- the AMC GEN-1 is sort of between the two in external size. The 64+ American won't take a big block, but will take any small block.
welder series .com
Welder series in canada makes weld it yourself hotrod parts and weld it yourself mustang II kits. even if you don't buy from them check out their web site, U tubes, instructions for their kits but applies to any front suspension installations.
Mustang II in 63 Rambler?
Hi to all I am sure this question topic has been beaten to death but I am looking at putting a mustang II front end in my 63 Rambler. Here is a cross member I found on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/MUSTANG-II-I...item2570eef2ac . I emailed them and they said I should only have to notch a little out of my fram rails to fit it in there. Any one have experience or opinions on this conversion. Have a few pictures posted under introduction forum

Many programmers would love to use Perl for projects that involve heavy lifting, but miss the many traditional algorithms that textbooks teach for other languages. Computer scientists have identified many techniques that a wide range of programs need, such as:
Jarkko Hietaniemi is the creator and Master Librarian of CPAN: Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. He has also been known to frequent Perl developer forums. Luckily enough, getting his MSc in CS in the field of parallel computing didn't interfere overly much with his Perl and UNIX hacking. During those savored moments of off-line time, he fancies gobbling up speculative fiction and popular science. His real life employer is Nokia Research Center.
View Jarkko Hietaniemi's full profile page.
John Macdonald has been using Perl commercially since 1988 for a suite of Unix system administration tools. His background with Unix dates back to the days when Unix was written in PDP-11 assembler and later includes representing the University of Waterloo at the first UNIX Users Meeting at City University of New York in the mid-1970s while finishing his M. Math degree. (In those days before the creation of Usenix, the people at the meeting would sit together around a single table.) In addition, his background includes work on compilers, kernel internals, device drivers and the like. He has also been observed partaking in recreational computing activities.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Mastering Algorithms with Perl is a wolf (Canis lupus). The wolf, a member of the dog family, is one of the most sociable of mammals. Wolves live and hunt in packs, which consist of one pair of alpha male and female wolves and several offspring. Pack size is usually five to nine wolves. Each wolf pack has its own territory, which they will mark and fight to defend. Wolves often travel long distance in their hunt for prey, and they keep in contact with other members of their pack by howling. Howling seems to be almost contagious to wolves-when one wolf begins to howl, others around it will almost always join in, creating an echoing, almost musical effect. Wolves were once common throughout the northern hemisphere. Deserts and tropical forests are the only habitats that cannot support wolves. However, as a result of disease, parasites, starvation caused by habitat loss, and persecution by humans, wolves have been eradicated from much of their former territory and are limited in others. Significant wolf populations are now found only in Canada, Alaska, Minnesota, and parts of Asia. Smaller wolf populations can be found in Scandinavia and parts of Europe. In Greenland, the wolf was nearly extinct, but has managed to repopulate itself. The grey wolf is currently listed as vulnerable. The relationship between wolves and humans has always been a troubled one. Folktales and childrens' stories have long characterized the wolf as an evil, bloodthirsty killer who preys on children and other humans. In fact, healthy wolves rarely, if ever, attack humans. On a more down-to-earth level, farmers resent wolves because they frequently kill livestock. However, wolves provide a beneficial service: they feed on carrion, rodents, and other pests. Because of their greatly diminished numbers, wolves have come to symbolize to many the disappearing wilderness. Interest in preserving them is growing as a result.

Mastering Algorithms with Perl Review
By Shawn Boyette
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Mastering Algorithms with Perl:
This book does indeed contain a wealth of information on a wide variety of traditional CS topics, and is well-written, with an engaging style. However, many of the code examples are written in highly idiomatic perl. One could argue that this is exactly the point, but one could also argue that there are times when the level of idiom goes beyond "elegant" and straight on into "obfuscated" or "perl golf", reducing the immediate utility of the book as a whole. Personally, I don't want examples to cut and paste into my programs, I want to them to clearly illustrate concept so I can write my own, tailored, implementations. Still, this is on the verge of nitpicking, and there (literally) is no replacement for this book.

There's something here for everyone from the novice to very experienced Perl users. It starts with the basics and builds very, very rapidly into complicated ideas without losing coherence. Most of the material is not what the casual user will ever need to use, but not above the understanding ofcasual users either, if you are looking at more complex projects or want to learn more. Good detail on sorting, complex data structures, higher math functions, and several other areas. This book is the jump to lightspeed as far as Perl resources go.
