Digitisation Strategy 2008-2011
1. Introduction
Over the centuries, very many researchers have travelled to London to use the British Library's collections. More recently, the advent of the Internet and the ability to digitise large quantities of text and images and make them available over the Web has transformed ways of working.
For the past two decades, the British Library has undertaken a number of focused digitisation initiatives. More recently, we have entered the world of mass digitisation in partnership with external funding bodies and technology providers. Through digitisation, we are creating a valuable and enduring resource for scholars and the public alike. We estimate that this digitisation activity to date represents less than 1% of our collection. We want to build on our achievements in this area by maintaining and extending our digitisation programme.
Our digitisation strategy underpins the Library's corporate strategy to 2011, including our content strategy and digital library programme and these will inform our thinking as we develop our strategy to 2020.
We set out in this paper our vision for the next 10 years and how we will achieve this.
Our 10-year vision
We aim to help researchers advance knowledge by becoming a leading player in digitisation. We will produce a critical mass of digitised content, reflecting the breadth and depth of our collection. We will provide a compelling user experience that facilitates innovative methods of research and meets 21st century requirements for interacting with content.
2. Our drivers and priorities for the next 3 years
By digitising our collection we aim to:
- Open up access to content in the British Library's collection;
- Create a critical mass of digitised content;
- Add value to, and open up previously unimagined areas for research;
- Support innovative methods of research;
- Facilitate the interpretation of our content by others for new audiences;
- Transform discoverability of our content;
- Make our content more visible and increase use;
- Preserve unique, rare and fragile heritage items by digital reproduction and protect vulnerable documents;
- Reveal illegible and hidden text or images and permit non-intrusive testing of materials;
- Generate income to support our long-term digitisation programme.
Over the next 3 years we will build on our existing digitisation programme. Current projects include the digitisation of:
- 20 million pages of 19th-century literature [approximately 80,000 books];
- 1 million pages of historic newspapers in addition to the 3m already digitised;
- 4,000 hours of Sounds recordings in addition to the 4,000 hours already digitised;
- 100,000 pages of Greek manuscripts.
Our top priority digitisation programme in support of the Library's corporate strategy 2008 – 2011 is the digitisation of newspapers. We intend to digitise the most highly used and important parts of our newspaper collection and make these accessible from our reading rooms at St Pancras.
We will also give priority to digitising materials:
- Unique to the British Library collection;
- Of relevance to the UK cultural heritage;
- To facilitate the virtual reunification of collections.
We will continue to digitise materials that attract external funding within our overall strategy.
We will review and prioritise proposals for digitisation from our content experts and others in the light of our corporate strategy and our criteria for digitisation set out in section 2 above.
3. Guiding principles
User needs
We want to satisfy the needs of current and future users.
- We will seek to understand the needs of our users and meet them as resources permit in terms of the collections that we digitise and the means of resource discovery that we provide.
- We will develop, refine and monitor interactions with our digitised collections using a range of tools, and will use the feedback to improve the experience.
- We will continue to investigate the digitisation landscape to ensure that we contribute to a growing corpus of national, European and international digital content.
Business models
We want to make the Library's collection available to as wide a range of users as possible through digitisation and ensure sustainability of the service. We will develop a range of business models including:
- Open access, provided free of charge;
- Limited open access (where funding allows for free as well as fee-based models);
- Mediated access provided through a fee-paid service.
Intellectual Property Rights
We will protect Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).
- We will clear copyright for works we intend to digitise that fall within copyright. Where rightsholders cannot be identified our activities will be informed by the specific circumstances, and current thinking on Orphan Works.
- We will reserve the right to assert IPR over the historical digitised collections created from public domain works in our collections in order to secure and protect access in the digital age.
Storage and preservation
We aim to store all our digitised materials in our Digital Library System (DLS).
- Through DLS we will provide a highly scalable, resilient and secure storage environment that maintains multiple online copies of each digital item.
- We will digitally sign and validate each digital item to ensure the long-term authenticity of the content.
- We will continue to work with partners to explore the long-term effectiveness of digital preservation.
- We will ensure that items from our collection selected for digitisation are handled in accordance with best practice and preserved for posterity.
Resource discovery
We will ensure that all digitised items are readily discoverable.
- We will aim to provide a seamless search experience across physical, born digital and digitised items.
- We will ensure that all our www.bl.uk web resources comply with our web technical, branding and design requirements.
Technical aspects of digitisation
We are committed to applying generally accepted standards for creating, managing and providing access to digitised material.
- We will adhere to established standards and adopt best practice in digital capture and post-processing activities.
- We will ensure that digitised content is accompanied by consistent, high quality metadata.
- We will take a systematic and rigorous approach to the digitisation workflow and ensure the efficiency of process over time.
- We will develop technical standards and guidelines for digitisation to which all our digitisation projects will conform.
4. Practical considerations
Proposals for digitisation
- We will develop digitisation projects in partnership with publishers, external funding bodies and other sponsors and donors, technology providers, user communities and other content holders.
- In formulating a proposal for digitisation we will determine the full costs of the project, including the cost of access, delivery and sustainability.
- We will scrutinise each proposal before making a decision to go ahead with a digitisation project. We will assess each proposal in terms of:
- Our drivers for digitisation;
- Business models, IP and copyright issues, and access to content (through the Library's Digitisation and Web Monitoring Group);
- Operational viability, technical standards, outputs and preservation issues (through the Library's Technical and Operational Digitisation Approvals Group).
Contractual agreements
- We will select contractors via a competitive and transparent process through the Library's Corporate Procurement Unit.
- We will ask that all tenders comply with the Library's technical standards for digitisation and ICT.
- Following procurement for digitisation or hosting, we may award framework contracts and preferred vendor status.
- We will normally expect our agreements to be non-exclusive and/or time limited.
- We will expect that limitations and copyright exceptions are not undermined by the contracting party.
- We will state the period of sustainability required.
- Where appropriate we will ensure that the contract enables us to obtain a copy of the digitised content.
- We will seek to ensure our brand has optimal visibility in the finished product.
Management of digitisation projects
- We will review and monitor all projects through the Library's Digitisation and Web Monitoring Group.
5. Review of strategy
The digitisation strategy will be reviewed annually.
6. How we will measure success
We will measure success in a variety of ways taking each discrete digitised collection in turn. Measures of success include:
- Numbers of items digitised;
- Discoverability through BL catalogue;
- External links to the Library's digitisation portfolio;
- Demand for digitised items;
- Funding to help sustain the service.
We will also measure success in terms of our digitisation programme as a whole, for instance:
- Minimal number of platforms serving the different types of BL digitised content;
- Lessons learned and applied to other projects.

They do it far too much in close games esp the play for the Sheed 3 that Flip assininely calls even though it NEVER works.

What's In a Name? Well, Everything!
posted at 9:43 pm on August 9, 2009 by Dafydd ab Hugh
Shakespeare notwithstanding, a rose by any other name would not, in fact, smell as sweet; "seeing is believing" is a much less accurate saying than "believing is seeing" — especially in politics, the art of the image. "What a fool believes, he sees."
The winner of the race to define one's opponent typically wins the election as well. And in this race, the Democrats and the Left in general left the starting blocks a century ago, while we're still standing around, waiting for the starting gun.
The other day, I was very rudely awakened by my clock radio, which is set to a local classical music station. The station was in between pieces, and Mr. Announcer was saying something very like the following: "When this next charming dance music debuted, it was denounced by conservatives — as they generally denounced any fun music of the era." Annoyed, I turned it off before even hearing the charming dance… and I'm not even a conservative!
I am, however, a dyed-in-the-wool enemy of contemporary liberalism and leftism of any era, making me "one of us," in that sense. I never voted for a Republican from my first vote in 1978 through 1986, five elections; since 1988, I have never voted for anybody but a Republican.
To me, that was the year (Michael Dukakis) that the mainstream of the Democratic Party crossed the Rubicon, transmogrifying from being a sincerely loyal opposition, though frequently misguided — to being actual enemies of America who had to be stopped, crushed, and forced to rebuild themselves in the mold of Harry Truman and Hubert Humphrey.
The latter was a New Deal Democrat, but always an anti-Communist — unlike FDR himself — and one who truly loved our country. He was foolish in some areas, such as massive government spending to "solve" social problems; but he was also willing to reconsider when confronted with real evidence. Gosh, what a breath of fresh air that would be, after decades of Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton, Algore, JFK — and now a nation under the iron thumb of B.O.
But back to my tail of woe…
Later that day, Sachi and I went to see the wonderful chick-flick Julie & Julia. In the course of the otherwise thoroughly enjoyable movie, we were gobsmacked by three or four gratuitous slams against conservatives and Republicans. All but one took place in the "Julia Child" sections and were at least defensible, if still unnecessary: The worst was a scene depicting Paul Child, Julia Child's husband, being investigated (interrogated) by "the committee" — though the movie never says which one, the House Committee on Un-American Activities or the Senate Permanent Committee on Investigations. We are told that he was investigated because he was stationed in China during World War II.
I have no idea whether this really happened — I cannot find any documentary evidence of such an investigation outside the movie. It's not even mentioned in his New York Times obituary; and if anybody would tout such an incident, you'd think it would be the Times.
But even if he really was investigated, I'm quite skeptical that the only reason was his official posting in China, ordered by the Office of Strategic Services. To my mind, it's much more plausible that the pair of them, liberal intellectuals both, could easily have flirted with Marxism — as did so many of their contemporaries.
But two points were glossed over that were just as important as the investigation itself… shifting the movie scenes from merely recounting "the truth" to broadcasting leftist propaganda:
- According to the movie, Paul Child was investigated and cleared. (But wait! I thought that never happened… weren't these investigations "witch hunts" that only smeared innocent people, never exonerated them?) Yet the movie only mentions that en passant, without any acknowledgement that perhaps the investigators were both sincere and honest.
- Despite the movie's reference on several occasions to "the Republicans," in reality, the House and Senate committees included both Republicans and Democrats; in fact, during the period under discussion (say 1945 through 1955), Democrats controlled both Senate and House — therefore the corresponding committees — for six years, while Republicans controlled the chambers for only four.
One other slam against Republicans is in the "Julie Powell" section, and this one is entirely uncalled for: After she plays hooky from work for a day, her boss says that if he were a Republican, he would have fired her. As she is a sympathetic character, that smear of course just makes Republicans look bad. (Left unsaid is that, sympathetic or not, she is depicted as a pretty bad employee who probably deserved firing. But the movie never connects these two points.)
It would be impossible, of course, to enumerate every movie and television episode that makes unnecessary and absurdist attacks on the Right; a well-researched list would probably include more than 50% of them. But each and every one is an example of the Left "defining" the Republicans and conservatives in popular art, so that the default position of American culture is that the Right is a bad joke.
Then let us include "serious" news and political analysis shows, which typically refer to every oppressor around the world as a "conservative" — even when he's a jihadi, a revolutionary, or a Marxist. Even the mullahs in Iran are routinely referred to as "conservatives."
What does conservative mean in this context? They certainly are not traditionalists; Ayatollah Khomeini's revolution was radical, breaking not only with established political tradition — Iran had been ruled by shahs since the 1500s — but established religious tradition: Twelver Shia clerics had by and large shunned direct political rule since before Iran arose as a distinct Persian Islamic country.
Nor do the mullahs believe in judicial modesty, rule by law, a firm constitution above control of the ruling party, Capitalism and the free market, or even the ethical monotheism that underpins American conservativism. They are not conservative by any rational definition.
Much the same can be said for the fascists and Marxists in Latin America, Africa, and Asia — often dubbed "hard-right strongmen." And even Adolf Hitler — a raging socialist and utopian internationalist, who railed against Capitalism as often as at Communism, and thought he could "perfect" the human race by culling the "defectives" and breeding "supermen" — is invariably referred to as a "right winger," rather than head of the National Socialist German Workers Party.
In a brilliant exercise of "argument by tendentious redefinition," the Left has successfully transformed the word "conservative" into a synonym for tyranny, oppression, and dictatorship… even for radical movements that not only did not "conserve" the institutions and values of their native cultures but overturned them in the most violent way. And lefties (including Lucky Lefty himself) still beaver away at that same tree today, albeit in a rather ham-fisted manner.
It's an astonishing feat of political legerdemain that can transform Marxists, Stalinists, and a radical Islamic and quasi-socialist theocracy into an indistinguishable batch of conservative hardliners. But the more infuriating point is, the Right let them get away with it.
Liberals and Democrats are supposed to try to make monkeys out of conservatives and Republicans; that's their job. But the latter are supposed to fight back, establishing their own identities and reinventing the Left… rather than quietly rolling over and accepting what fate deals out in true fatalist style. The most embarassing part is that our putative "leaders" in Congress and in the previous administration have hopped aboard the caboose… leaving it up to ordinary folks to drive the train.
William F. Buckley, jr. made conservatism respectable; Ronald Reagan made it popular. But we haven't had a Reagan since 1989, and there isn't one on the horizon that I can see; no, not Sarah Palin, not Mitt Romney, not Eric Cantor (R-VA, 92%)… at least not yet.
Ronald Reagan was already considered a great conservative Republican leader when he first ran for the governorship of California in 1966; he was famous, among other things, for breaking the back of the Communist cadre in the Screen Actors Guild (then an actual union) and for fighting Soviet propaganda in Hollywood. By the time he finally won the nomination for president in 1980, he was also a very successful two-term governor of the largest state in the United States, giving him experience and gravitas.
In that year, Reagan was universally recognized, by friend and foe alike, as the leader of the conservative movement in America. The primary was barely even a contest, with Reagan taking 44 primary or caucus delegations, and his only real rival, George H.W. Bush, taking only seven (Iowa, Puerto Rico, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., and Michigan)… and six fairly well-known wannabes getting bupkis.
It was a complete blowout; Reagan was the undisputed heavyweight champeen of the conservative movement. "Now the king is gone but he'll not be forgotten, nor his like will we ever see."
Newt Gingrich was a spectacularly successful "revolutionary;" he was perhaps the only person who could have snatched the House right out from under Tom Foley's nose (with the help of the House banking scandal); but Gingrich proved a fairly inept Speaker of the House. He is a wonderful idea-man, spitting out original and popular policy proposals like an M61 Vulcan spits incendiary shells… but as the chief executive of the nation, he would be a disaster: He hasn't the patience, the attention span, nor the charisma.
There is no Republican in view today who has even as much charisma as Gingrich, and charisma is vital for generating hegemony (per Marxian theorist and revolutionary Antonio Gramsci, perceived fitness to rule). Any such authority would come only from the office — not from the person, as it did with previous leaders: the good (Lincoln, Reagan), the bad (Wilson, TR), and the ugly (FDR).
Fortunately, the only charismatic Democrat on the scene today is the terribly compromised Barack H. Obama, whose power curve is dropping faster than the glidepath of a dead-stick Shuttle. We don't need a Ronald Reagan to regain power (which is good, because we don't — and won't — have one). But once there, we are going to need moral discipline such as Republicans have not held since the first heady days of the Gingrich revolution.
An excellent start would be to take the propaganda war within this country seriously for once… and actually fight back against the liberal-left, anti-Republican disinformation campaign. I see a nascent effort; but not until I start seeing a real and serious pushback by our guys — unified, forceful, unapologetic, and not just by the grass roots (who by definition aren't running for office), will I say we actually have a legitimate shot at the "conservative realignment" that Fred Barnes talked about before 2006 and 2008.

"Inexpensive dog pen"
"We have a Bichon and needed to fence in a part of the back yard for her to do her business and exercise. I purchase 6 of the 30"" high and link them together and connected them to the house to make a 20'by 56'pen relatively cheap. A few wooden stakes every 16' will stabilize it. We can step over it so we don't need a gate and I can take it down in minutes when I get ready to mow the grass."
"travels well"
We travel in a travel trailer 4 or 5 months a year. This fence is great for our 2 mini doxis. it is the first thing we set up and last thing loaded when we move. Suggest taller fences for bigger dogs and grounding them as a fiends larger dog jumped over our short fence and knocked it over.
Midwest Ex-Pens are one of the best. I have both the ones with and without the door. The door comes in handy for smaller dogs, but I prefer to just open the two sides up for larger dogs. They are compact when not in use. They fold up like a pancake and are fairly lightweight depending on the size you buy.

Built in 1972 through the generosity of the E. Claiborne Robins family, the Robins Center underwent a $17 million renovation in 2013-2014 that has transformed it into one of the premier college basketball arenas in the nation, while drawing rave reviews from players, coaches, fans and media.
The renovations created a more intimate game day atmosphere and provided enhanced amenities for basketball fans. The renovations to the main arena of the Robins Center included new state-of-the-art LED lighting, midnight blue painted ceiling, four 15 feet by 32 feet video boards, scoreboards, refurbished seats, new premium seating options, new terrace hospitality areas, a refinished/newly painted court and renovated restrooms. The video boards are the largest in the Atlantic 10 conference, and among the largest of any on-campus arena in the ACC or Big East.
The Robins Center also added a new center hung LED ribbon board and 48 feet of courtside LED displays on the baseline nearest the home team bench, to complement the already-existing LED displays at the scorer's table and at the base of the four corner vomitories. The superbly maintained sports complex houses the University's athletic squads and serves as the showplace for University of Richmond basketball. The men's and women's locker rooms and lounges were modernized and upgraded with state-of-the art amenities.
In addition to sporting and recreational activities, the Robins Center yearly serves as the site for Richmond's commencement exercises and also provides a forum for countless other educational and cultural events. The eyes of the world were focused on the Robins Center in 1992, as one of that year's Presidential debates was held in the Center's main arena and President Obama spoke in the building in 2011.

Green Bay Honors its Tradition, Defeats Rival Milwaukee
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - With dozens of former Green Bay women's basketball greats in attendance, the Phoenix was able to push past rival Milwaukee with a 64-49 win in the first of four straight games at home. The win improved Green Bay to 19-2 overall and 9-0 in the Horizon League, while Milwaukee fell to 5-15 and 1-7 in conference play.
Stephanie Sension (Hopkins, Minn.) continued to dominate the post in the win, as she scored the first four points of the game for the Phoenix. Fellow senior Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.), who finished the game at 990 career points, completed a three-point play to open a 7-2 lead just over two minutes into the game.
Milwaukee's Emily Decorah hit her first of five three's on the night to cut Green Bay's lead to 9-7 with 16:11 remaining. Decorah tied a career high with five triples on 5-10 shooting, while the rest of her teammates shot just 1-13 from behind the arc.
The Panthers were able to take a 17-14 lead off another Decorah three, But a Sension layup and three free throws from Jenny Gilbertson (Wabasha, Minn.) over two possessions helped Green Bay spark a 15-1 run over a six-minute stretch, giving the Phoenix a 29-18 lead. Milwaukee was able to come back with a 10-1 run of its own, cutting Green Bay's lead to 30-28 heading into the break.
The Panthers struck first to open the half, knotting the score at 30-30. Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.) was able to cut Milwaukee's run with a three, and after a Sension runner Bauer hit another triple to push the lead to 38-33. Both Sension and Bauer each finished with a team-high 14 points, including a 4-of-5 performance from long range by Bauer.
The Phoenix was able to push the lead back to double digits at 45-35 after Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.), while falling to the ground, was able to find an open Gilbertson for three. Gilbertson finished with six points and three rebounds.
During a 16-2 run for the Phoenix, Milwaukee's Janna Swopshire drove to the basket with 8:27 remaining. Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) rejected her shot with a fierce block, and Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) found Ritchie for the finish, pushing the lead to 52-39. Ranger scored in the post off a feed from Gilbertson with 3:25 remaining to push the lead to 20 at 61-41 heading into the final media timeout.
Milwaukee closed the game on an 8-1 run over the final 2:18, but it wasn't enough to overcome Green Bay's double-digit lead. With just 49 points, the Panthers became the 14th opponent in 21 games this season that failed to reach 50 or more points.
In addition to Bauer and Sension with 14 points apiece, Eichler finished with 11 points and was just one shy of her career high with seven assists. Ritchie added nine and both Gilbertson and Ranger had six, while Lukan pitched in three.
Milwaukee was led by Decorah and Ashley Green who each had 15 points. Sami Tucker added seven, while Angela Rodriguez was held to just two points on 1-10 shooting.
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: Green Bay is in the midst of a four-game homestand, and will play its next three games at the Kress Center. The Phoenix will host Cleveland State on Thursday at 7 p.m. for the second meeting this season. Green Bay was down 12 points against the Vikings on their home court on Jan. 17, but was able to come back for a 52-49 win.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by barbk, Sep 8, 2010.
From Helene Elliot --
Great article ... and thank you for posting it!
Long live the (real) Kween!
nice article
Kwan also did a Q&A yesterday in case anyone missed it: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/showpost.php?p=2868557&postcount=200
Yuna could take some diplomacy lessons from Michelle. She is indeed a class act.
Wow. So she choreographed an SP for Vancouver? Interesting.
IIRC, the "Carmina Burana" (sp?) routine she did in Yu-Na's show last year would have been her competitive SP if she had not gone into grad school.
What a wonderful article. Her attitude and accomplishments are to be admired.
olympic, I believe that "Carmina Burana" was originally intended as a competition SP.
So nice to see her so happy in life and enjoying challenges on and off the ice.
Great article. Thanks so much for posting it
How sweet would it be to be in her class at school? I'd be excited.
Thanks for posting this. I love that shadowy photo of her, she still looks totally gorgeous IMO.
Though it blows my mind that none of her classmates had heard of her before. I know she's been out of the limelight for a bit, but wasn't she a household name in her day?
I love the 'I was okay, I went to the Olympics' line. Oh to be a fly on the wall if any of those who asked the question then went to look her up on youtube.
Great article and class personified as ever.
You'd be surprised how many people don't even know her name. I am shocked every time I have to explain to someone about Michelle Kwan.
I remember talking to a friend at college during the 2006 Olympics and being devastated that Michelle withdrew. He asked me who Michelle was and I was just dumbfounded. I couldn't believe that he didn't know who the Kween was.
You and me, both!
I just watched the first videos that came up on YouTube and you'd think she never made any sort of mistake on ice in her life and her life has been one long standing ovation with tv commentary.
true but I did watch a video clip of her graduating from University of Denver. when they called her name the audience gave her a huge cheer. I'm sure she gets recognized here and there but she's not a pop starlet or anything like that
What a great article. It's amazing how she's been able to transition herself so well, and I too am surprised her classmates don't know who she is. Then again, I pretty much know of all top athletes, and I'm a skating fan, so that would make sense. Most people I've talked to about skating know who she is and think she's won like 2 Olympic gold medals, along with Kristi and Dorothy. Some know of Sasha too.
On a creepy, semi-off topic note, I was trying to search for this article on google news, and as I was typing in "Michelle Kw...." the first suggestion was "Michelle Kwan's death." Doesn't that mean a lot of people have googled that recently? Weird.
Michelle is a class act indeed. Hope Yuna and Michelle carry their friendship/business relationship further.
I wouldn't. I very much doubt that anyone I know IRL knows who Michelle Kwan is. But perhaps that's because I'm a European.
This. Or if they do, more often than not they'll say "that Asian girl".
Now, everybody knows who Katarina Witt is which is pretty amazing for a country with no real history of figure skating in the media whatsoever.
Most of the people I know think she won in SLC.
I think it's somewhat bizarre that Michelle Kwan has had so much experience with public speaking and higher education, and yet *still* mixes pronouns within the same sentence. If I were the writer of the article, I would have gone ahead and corrected those.
Michelle Kwan is really an outsanding personality. One can't do nothing else but admire her for her accomplishments and attitudes.
I'm also a bit disapointed when I read that many people don't know who she is. She is multiple times US national champion, World champion and olympian, this is something that must be recognized. What do people know really ? Do they have a wider culture than just medias buzz ?
I mean at least they could recognize the name even if they can't list all her athletics accomplishments, the name, at least ! But no...
A Jeopardy contestant even thought she won in Nagano.
A Jeopardy contestent once had a clue about a "skater born in 1980", and answered "Katerina Witt". Somehow, I think that Jeopardy contestents are not always all that knowledgeable about figure skaters.
I find that I make those mistakes all the time when I'm just speaking or writing on this forum. When I write my real papers, I do a much better job keeping those things in check. My biggest problem in casual speech is saying "their" or "they" when I refer to an individual or mixing up past and present tense. Those are usually the first things I check when I edit.
I find most people tend to do that in a casual, conversational setting. Your brain works differently when it comes to the written word, especially in an academic environment, I find.
It doesn't surprise me. Figure skating just isn't that big of a deal in the USA. People who don't follow the sport know who Nancy Kerrigan, Tonya Harding, Kristi Yamaguchi, Brian Boitano, Oksana Baiul, and Katarina Witt are, but that's about it. They, excluding Harding, were all over the tv in primetime coverage during skating's post-Kerrigan-assault boom when all of those professional competitions and shows saturated the basic networks that everyone has access to. That coverage started to slowly dwindle after Nagano and was nonexistent after Salt Lake City. Generally, not as many people were following Olympic eligible skating it seems. 1994-1999 was pro skating's primetime heyday . . . it was great while it lasted!
Speaking of people thinking that Kwan won the OGM, this news anchor seems to think she was a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist during this interview.
Kwan gave an awkward look to the camera but she didn't correct him.

Notable Oregonians: Joseph Lane - Governor
Joseph Lane was born in North Carolina on December 14, 1801 to John and Elizabeth Street Lane. Nine years later the family moved to Kentucky. After reaching adulthood, Lane relocated to Indiana and served in both houses of the legislature from 1822 to 1846. With the beginning of the Mexican War in 1846, he received the commission of colonel in the 2nd Indiana Volunteers. He attained the rank of major-general in 1847 before his discharge in 1848.
President James K. Polk appointed Lane to be governor of the new Oregon Territory in 1848. After a hazardous midwinter journey, he arrived at Oregon City in March 1849 to begin his duties. These duties included traveling to Walla Walla country to secure the surrender of five Cayuse Indians accused in relation to the Whitman Massacre. The Indians were later convicted and hanged. Lane served as governor until June 1850 after which he served as delegate to Congress until Oregon became a state in 1859. He served as first Oregon senator from 1859 to 1861 and ran as a Democratic candidate for vice president on the unsuccessful Breckenridge ticket in 1860. Lane's pro-slavery Southern sympathies limited his political career in the 1860s. He spent the rest of his life on his land claim in the Umpqua Valley where he took no active part in politics.
One of his sons, Lafayette Lane served in Congress from 1875 to 1877; and a grandson, Dr. Harry Lane, was a U.S. Senator from 1913 to 1917, dying in office.
Lane County, Oregon is named for Joseph Lane.

Gay rights fight: Win some, lose some
North Carolina voters approved a constitutional amendment May 8 to ban gay marriage, which was already illegal by statute. Of the 2.1 million votes, 61% favored and 39% opposed the amendment. It adds two sentences to the section on marriage:
"Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State. This section does not prohibit a private party from entering into contracts with another private party; nor does this section prohibit courts from adjudicating the rights of private parties pursuant to such contracts."
Churches were very involved in the election, with the vast majority opposed to same-sex marriage. Patrick Wooden, a black Pentecostal pastor in Raleigh, denounced Barack Obama from the pulpit for being "in support of sin" a few days after the amendment passed and Obama came out publicly for equal marriage rights for gays.
The LGBT issue is dividing congregations and denominations around the U.S. United Methodists voted in May to uphold a ban on ordaining gay ministers.
In Colorado, a civil unions bill opposed by most churches was killed 5-4 in committee May 14 after the governor called a special session to deal with the bill that Republicans had filibustered in regular session.
Also on May 14, Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee signed an executive order declaring the state will recognize same-sex marriages performed elsewhere, giving gay couples the same rights as heterosexual ones.
In Arizona, Pius X trumps Title IX
Paige Sultzbach, 15, is the only girl on her Mesa, Ariz., baseball team. A team from Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School in Phoenix forfeited the championship game to Mesa on May 10 rather than face a female player.
Paige sat out two earlier games against the Catholic team but refused to miss the championship game.
The school said in a statement that "proper boundaries can only be respected with difficulty" in co-ed sports. The ultra-conservative Society of Saint Pius X operates Our Lady of Sorrows.
Study: Church scams total $35 billion
The Wall Street Journal reported May 7 that of the $569 billion that churchgoers and others are expected to donate to Christian causes worldwide in 2012, about $35 billion or 6% of the total will end up in the hands of "money launderers, embezzlers, tax evaders or unscrupulous ministers living too high on the hog." The articles cites a study by the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Mass.
The article notes that churches aren't required to file IRS Form 990 that other 501(c)(3) nonprofits must file. [FFRF does file the 990, which makes its financial operation transparent for donors and the public.]
Study: 'Modest' decline in religious belief
A recent study by University of Chicago sociologist Tom Smith, "Beliefs about God across Time and Countries," summarized May 14 in Foreign Policy, looked at "belief in God" in 30 countries between 1991 and 2008. Citizens of the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany) had the highest rate of atheism at 52%.
Nations with high numbers of nonbelievers: The Czech Republic, 40%; France, 23%; the Netherlands, 20%; and Sweden, 19%.
The most religious country in the survey was the Philippines, where 84% are sure God exists. In the U.S., 61% are sure of the existence of God. The study concludes, "Belief in God has decreased in most countries, but the declines are quite modest."
Judge Roy Moore back to high court?
Roy Moore, the former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice famous for a 5,000-pound Ten Commandments monument, won 50.14% of the Republican primary vote in March and will face a Democrat in November in the race for Supreme Court chief justice. Moore, 65, held the job in 2001-03 but was forced out when he defied a federal order to remove the monument in the rotunda in the Judicial Building in Montgomery.
A nine-member judicial ethics panel voted unanimously to remove Moore from office for flouting the order.
"Roy Moore is a walking, talking argument against judicial elections," Alex Koppelman wrote March 14 in The New Yorker.
Compassion motivates nonbelievers more
A new study from the University of California-Berkeley shows "highly religious people are less motivated by compassion to show generosity than are nonbelievers."
The results challenge a widespread assumption that acts of charity are largely driven by feelings of empathy and compassion, researchers said.
Social psychologist and study co-author Robb Willer said, "Overall, we find that for less religious people, the strength of their emotional connection to another person is critical to whether they will help that person or not. The more religious, on the other hand, may ground their generosity less in emotion, and more in other factors such as doctrine, a communal identity or reputational concerns."
Singer's fans go gaga, Islamic groups don't
Reuters reported that pop star Lady Gaga has been banned from performing as scheduled June 3 in Jakarta, Indonesia, because of objections by Islamic groups about her "vulgar" style.
While Indonesia is officially a secular state, it has the world's largest Muslim population.
"She's a vulgar singer who wears only panties and a bra when she sings, and she stated she is the envoy of the devil's child and that she will spread satanic teaching," said Salim Alatas of the Islamic Defender Front.
More than 30,000 tickets had been sold, ranging in price from 465,000 rupiah ($50.35) to 2.25 million rupiah ($240).
Study: Churches too involved with politics
A Pew Forum poll conducted March 7-11 asked, "Should churches and other houses of worship keep out of political matters or should they express their views on day-to-day social and political matters?"
Results: Keep out, 54%; express views, 40%
Another poll statement: "There has been too much expression of religious faith and prayer by political leaders."
Nearly half of Democrats (46%), 24% of Republicans and 42% of independents said there's been too much discussion.
Oregon couple charged in son's death
Brandi and Russel Bellew, Creswell, Ore., are charged with second-degree manslaughter in the December death of Austin Sprout, 16, of an "undisclosed treatable ailment." The family attends the General Assembly and the Church of the First Born, which puts prayer over medical care. Both of the Bellew's previous spouses died at young ages, as did two of Russel Bellew's children from his first marriage, according to a story in the Eugene Register-Guard.
Six of the couple's children were made wards of the state April 16 while they await trial.
Egyptian, 17, sentenced for mocking Islam
An Egyptian court sentenced a 17-year-old Christian boy to three years in jail April 4 for publishing cartoons on his Facebook page that mocked Islam and the prophet Muhammad. Gamal Abdou Massoud was also accused of distributing his cartoons to friends in the city of Assiut.
About 10% of Egypt's population of 80 million are Christians.
'Monkey bill enacted in Tennessee'
Tennessee joined Louisiana April 10 as the second state to authorize teachers to "teach the controversy" about evolution and global warming. The Tennessee bill became law without Gov. Bill Haslam's signature. Haslam refused to veto the bill, which he called flawed: "Good legislation should bring clarity and not confusion."
The National Center for Science Education headlined the story on its website as "Monkey bill enacted in Tennessee."
"Telling students that evolution and climate change are scientifically controversial is miseducating them," said Eugenie Scott, the group's executive director.
Florida robber made his victim pray
Tampa Bay Online reported April 13 that a robber made his victim, a pizza delivery driver, pray while he pointed a gun at him and took $100, according to sheriff's deputies in Manatee County, Fla.
The robber made the victim lay on the ground. Then the robber said a prayer and made the victim repeat the prayer.
Actor dies portraying Judas' suicide
Tiago Klimeck, 27, died on Easter Sunday from accidental hanging while reenacting the suicide of Judas on Good Friday in Itarare, Brazil. Klimeck was hanging for about four minutes before fellow performers realized something was wrong.
Faith-healing case to Wis. high court
A Wisconsin state appeals court has asked the state Supreme Court to decide if jurors wrongly convicted Dale and Leilani Neumann for the 2008 death of their daughter, Kara, 11, of undiagnosed diabetes. The couple prayed but sought no medical help.
"We submit that it is appropriate for Wisconsin's highest court to determine the scope of the prayer treatment exception and to inform trial courts regarding the appropriate jury instructions when the exception is raised in a reckless homicide case," said the May 1 ruling from the Wausau-based Third District Court of Appeals.
The parents were sentenced to six months in jail, 10 years' probation and 120 hours of community service, with the jail terms stayed pending appeals.
'Wasted Without Jesus' shirt roils school
William Swinimer, a high school student in Chester Basin, Nova Scotia, was suspended for five days for wearing a shirt that said "Life Is Wasted Without Jesus" and for repeatedly proselytizing schoolmates. When he returned May 7, reported the Halifax Chronicle Herald, students held a forum to discuss religious beliefs and freedom of speech.
William was unable to participate though, because his father came to school waving the bible at media and took William home. "He will not attend this school unless they are having readin', writin' and 'rithmetic, good old-fashioned academics. When they're having forums, when they're having other extracurricular activities, he will not attend that school."
Judith Sullivan-Corney, School Board chairwoman, said she could not discuss all the issues involved due to confidentiality. "Unfortunately, it all became about the T-shirt."
Riley Gibb-Smith, 15, said, "This thing never was about a shirt. He's telling kids they'll burn in hell if they don't confess themselves to Jesus."
There is no nice way of saying it. Our [ultra-Orthodox Jewish] community protects molesters. Other than that, we are wonderful.
Pearl Engelman, whose great-grandson reported he was molested as a child at the United Talmudical Academy, which allowed the alleged perpetrator to return to teaching

Premier League
January 29, 2003
Today's FreezeFrame takes us back to the 2002/03 title race - and one that got away as far as Arsenal were concerned.
Having won the Double the previous season, Arsène Wenger's side were growing into the side that would be remembered as the Invincibles but they were pipped to the post by Manchester United on this occasion.
Arsenal were in good shape going into 2003 but they slipped up at Anfield in January despite dominating Liverpool for long periods of a thrilling encounter.
Dennis Bergkamp's sublime pass set up the first goal after nine minutes. The Dutch master - who had recently completed a century of goals for Arsenal - curved a ball into Thierry Henry's path. Jerzy Dudek saved the Frenchman's effort but Robert Pires was on hand to tuck home the rebound.
It could and should have been more before the break with Henry in particular in fine form - at one point he gave Jamie Carragher a five-yard head start before beating him for pace by the touchline - but Liverpool survived a number of near misses.
And they made Arsenal pay for their profligacy when John Arne Riise hammered home Emile Heskey's pass from the edge of the box.
Bergkamp restored the visitors' lead with a shot that deflected off Stephane Henchoz's boot but once again Arsenal did not put the game to bed and once again Liverpool hit back.
This time Salif Diao was the creator with a perfect cross for Heskey to nod firmly past David Seaman as the match entered stoppage time.
It set the tone for the rest of the title race as Arsenal dropped points on the road at Newcastle, Blackburn, Aston Villa and Bolton to hand the crown to Manchester United.
They would come back rather strongly the following year, of course.
Arsenal: Seaman, Lauren, Campbell, Cygan, Cole, Gilberto, Vieira, Parlour, Pires, Bergkamp (Luzhny, 86), Henry. Subs not used: Taylor, Van Bronckhorst, Jeffers, Wiltord.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Hey folks,
Recently I've had two people I've known die of an accidental overdose and I had to take care of & put another person in hospital, all in the past month & it gave me the idea to put together a zine on basic first aid/dealing with someone having a bad reaction to drugs or ODing, as well as the legal/financial issues of dealing with paramedics & the cops in these kinds of situations. It would be a companion to a zine my sister is putting together on accurate drug information (opposed to old wives tales/fear-mongering).
Before I begin, I was wondering if such a thing might exist already, & if so, where I can get ahold of it. Being in Canada, I'd like something based on the laws here, but anything is better than nothing.
I know there's a lot of this information floating around on the internet etc, but after dealing with the friends of the girl I put in the ambulance, I think it's really important to make something that's geared towards people who are mistrustful of the police/engaged in illegal activity so that they can still provide adequate care for each other without having to worry about being charged or arrested.

This is a great idea. I don't know of any existing stuff like this, but I'm sure someone else on here will. I'd be interested to see what you end up putting out!
Also, I'm sorry for your loss. =(
In the mid- to late 90s I remember seeing some thing on MTV news about some group that goes to raves
and gives people first aid who are having bad acid trips and od'ing on extasy and all that. I don't know what
the group was called or anything, as I was never involved in that scene in any way..
Maybe google some terms that might fit in those perameters and you'll
come up with some information. "first aid rave" or some shit like that might lead you in a direction of some
information or at least a group that you could write an article on.
This used to be good for that sort of info Uk-wise but I'm not sure how up to date it is now.
This used to be good for that sort of info Uk-wise but I'm not sure how up to date it is now.
VERY good idea. I would love to support this project if you put something together by distroing it and spreading the word for submissions.
I don't believe I discussed distribution at all, but I have lots of ideas, so I didn't feel the need to ask about it.
The zine is obviously not meant to be a replacement for a first aid class. (I've already written a huge disclaimer etc about that.) I would rather everyone took a class & took care of their friends properly, but a lot of people don't for a multitude of reasons. I figure some information is better than none and I'd rather it be there especially when people are extremely reluctant to 'leave it to the professionals' because of fear/mistrust/whatever. Also some types of people likely to get into these situations might actually be more interested in reading a zine than say some other type of literature.
Part of the information in it will be peoples' rights and the policies that go through when they -do- call the police/ambulance, so hopefully that will make them less reluctant to do so.
I think people who have voiced their dissenting opinion on this do not understand what it is like in those situations or does not have experience in heavy illegal drug use. They cannot grasp the paranoia and the "no cops" mentality or the fear that is instilled if a cop happens upon that situation.

When Master of Education student Kayce Warden was considering a master's degree, she wanted a program that offered face-to-face instruction and would accommodate her firefighter husband's irregular schedule while raising her three-year-old son. She began the University of St. Thomas' off-campus master's program in spring 2010, taking classes close to home at CyRidge High School.
Warden is a member of the first group of about 139 students in UST's off-campus Master of Education program who will celebrate their graduation on Dec. 16. The program began in fall 2009 with cohorts in the Aldine and Cy-Fair independent school districts with 188 students. UST's regular Master of Education curriculum is taught by UST faculty members at 14 different sites in the Greater Houston area, serving about 900 students in the program in a variety of suburban school districts.
Students can study concentrations in bilingual/dual education, counseling, curriculum and instruction, educational diagnostician, educational leadership, reading and special education.
Warden teaches eighth grade Pre-Algebra at Waller Junior High School in Waller Independent School District. She is studying curriculum and instruction with the hope of becoming a curriculum coach or instructional specialist. Warden has seen the difference an engaging curriculum can make in students' excitement for learning.
"Junior high students can be a particularly tough crowd to inspire and motivate mathematically," she said. "When students who initially came into my classroom with bad attitudes started coming in with smiles and excitement, realizing they were good at math, I knew all of that work had paid off. I wanted to continue igniting that love for math in more than just my students."
The UST education courses are taught on a seven-week compressed track program, with two courses each semester. Students attend a face-to-face class each week, then complete online assignments as part of a blended program.
Warden said taking one class at a time makes the course load more manageable.
"Rather than having multiple mid-terms, major projects, research papers and finals all happening at the same time, the compressed track courses equally split the course loads," Warden said. "As a teacher and a mom, not having to worry about this has been a huge help and relief."
Dr. Nora Hutto, former dean of the School of Education, said the seven-week format is becoming more common at universities.
"It really allows the students to focus on the learning concepts in each course," Hutto said. "In the traditional program, students take two regular classes at the same time over 16 weeks. In the off-campus program, students are completing one course in seven weeks and focusing on the key concepts."
Warden also said the face-to-face component was a non-negotiable factor to her when choosing a master's program.
"I'm a traditional student," she said. "I like to interact with professors and my peers in person. The face-to-face portion has been wonderful for building relationships with those people who you interact with during the online portion of the class."
Patricia Lyerly, education workshop coordinator, said these classes are a valuable way to extend the UST learning community and meet students close to home.
"We are making learning convenient to them," Lyerly said. "They're so busy teaching classes during the day. By making master's classes available close to home, they can take advantage of them."
UST is expanding the off-campus master's courses with new cohorts in Alvin/Texas City, Galena and Pasadena school districts in the spring. For more information, contact Dr. Eduardo Torres at 713-942-3416 or email@example.com.

By Chris Harris
Manchester City have surprised Arsène Wenger with their near-perfect start to the season.
Roberto Mancini's team are five points clear at the top of the Premier League table after winning eight and drawing one of their first nine fixtures. Their most impressive result came last weekend - a 6-1 win at city rivals Manchester United.
That Old Trafford thrashing underlined City's title credentials and, although Wenger expects the leaders to eventually suffer lows as well as highs, he has been extremely impressed by them.
"Manchester City have had a tremendous start," he told Arsenal Player.
"You didn't expect them to start as strongly as they did, but it is still early in the season. Every team will go through difficult patches. Hopefully we have had our part and we can move up now.
"In the first eight to 10 games you can see the first trends in the league coming out and that is what it is at the moment. It looks like Man United, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, and hopefully us, will be there.
"City's win at Man United couldn't be stronger," he added. "I don't take too much importance in a result like that because it is always explainable by special circumstances. When you have 10 men you have to chase the game and of course you open yourselves to counter-attacks.
"I think Man City had seven shots on target and they won 6-1, that means every opportunity they had was a clear one like United had against us. We tried to attack with 10 men and we conceded four goals in the last 20 minutes. But at the end of the day, apart from the emotional aspect of the result, it is not of great significance.
"It is amazing how easily they score goals at the moment. That means they must be a force going forward and everybody in the league has to deal with that."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

When she was going through the stage which your pup is and she was learning the behavior of taking it nice...if she was playing and biting on me and I would sternly say " NICE"...she most certainly backed down on the bite pressure....and yes..I had a few nicks and scratches as well during the process...those puppy teeth are like needles.
And, yes...this behavior most certainly disappears with time...as it should because one way or another the pup will and should learn...teeth on human flesh is NOT allowed...unless one trains to encourage the behavior.
Hang in there ...it is but a passing phase that you will guide your pup through.
|my boy diesel
He would sit there and sniff and lick at my hand and once the excitement of knowing it's there left I would roll my hand over and offer it to him out of my palm.
i do this also with my dogs and it always works
|This is really no different than what everyone else is saying but I cup Gunther's treats so he can't grab them at all. He would sit there and sniff and lick at my hand and once the excitement of knowing it's there left I would roll my hand over and offer it to him out of my palm. It worked after 2 times and now I have no accidents when I give him steak out of my fingers.
Hi SuperG,
You could be right about the testing his rank with me part, however at the same time i am with him most of the time and do all the training and he is definitely more bonded to me than the rest of my family. Which is why i think he does the rough play biting with me more.
The men in the family can handle his nips at a higher threshold to me, and they are play biten as much. When he tries to bite my ankles it stings and as a female i cant stay still or handle it as well, which may make me seem weaker than the rest/ or more reactive like im participating in his rough play.
When i scuff him he comes back again, until i drag him to a outside/confined area to calm down with a firm NO! He comes back all sad and tries to win my approval.
I have tried practicing the GENTLE with treats training, when he sniffs my hand he licks anyway so ive moved up to the between two fingers. He licks and i say gentle and he keeps repeating. Will he naturally apply that word to everything, like when he bites me?
Does the behaviour slowly settle down with age?
For a young female these nipping scratches etc dont look so good. I realise its a part of having a puppy and it will be worth it in the end
I basically did what selzer suggested....teaching a pup to take a treat "nice" has it's merit.
I started with the treat between my thumb and forefinger so as to better secure the treat if the dog did not earn it by taking it "nice".....I of course had minor nicks and scratches from her trying to take the treat in an overzealous fashion...but I only released the treat when she took it "nice"....didn't take all too long for her to figure out the path of least resistance. And, yes....I applied the command "nice" to numerous other activities where a soft mouth was required.....they get it...whatever the command word is....as long as there is consistency all along the way in all other aspects of the puppy's development.
I might suggest the pup is still testing you for position of rank more than the others you mentioned...as far as working you over more with his jaws.... but I could be completely incorrect. Being the "chosen one" may not correlate to the one he respects the most...currently....but perhaps the one he can test his growing puppy attitude on....it is interesting how the relationship develops...but I have always felt a dog craves a strong leader....and sometimes many owners have a difficult time understanding the constructs of a "strong leader". Being the one which must bring the most shaping to a pup's development has it's moments where it is rather difficult compared to others who have a casual involvement.....tough love is appropriately named as such.
Thanks, i currently do scruff him then he just pounces back so i put him in a confined space till he calms down. He doesn't always do it, as i said its when he has his spills of energy, even though i play and try to drain him. I'm sure it'll get better, he is only 11.5 weeks, its just that hurts and its really frustrating that he does it to me.
What age did your gsd get less rough and phase out of it?
|OR..just scruff him and say no. He does it again you do it again. He does it again crate him. No yelling, flailing, giving treats or toys. The puppy biting thing is not rocket science. To many people make it much harder then it needs to be.
|Thanks Selzer, i will definitely start using the GENTLE command with treats. He is very obedient and a quick learner, he doesn't snatch when i give him treats or food i'm general, so to associate this with GENTLE will hopefully work for when he "play bites" me.
After eating time, when he has lots of energy, sounds like a good time to go for a walk. Get him some exercise. Let him experience different things. Get a pocket full of treats, and start teaching him to walk nicely at your side, to sit, and lie down on command. Teach him some tricks. Move quickly from one thing to another, do each thing no more than three times. And keep it happy and up-beat.
A tired puppy is a good puppy...
Most of the time.
Some puppies can get over-tired, and then they need to go to their safe spot, so they can get some rest.
Teach your dog the GENTLE Command:
Use treats, start with a treat in your open palm, and offer it to the dog and say GENTLE. If the dog takes it gently (he should from and open palm) tell him good GENTLE, and repeat.
This is a command, where you are actually teaching him a word that you will want to associate with other things down the line, so use this word every single time. Every time remind him GENTLE, and offer the treat, and every time he takes it nicely, say, Good Gentle.
Now after a few days of this, make it harder. Put a thumb over the treat and remind him GENTLE, and if he tries to take it gently, give it to him, Good Gentle. If he tries to take some thumb, Eh! Gentle and try again.
After he is good at that, 100%, then make it tougher. Close your fist. [by the way, fingers are fun to bite, fists are not. If your puppy is trying to eat your fingers, close your hands into fists] With the fist closed and the treat in your fist, tell your puppy, GENTLE, if he licks at the fist, open it and give the treat. If he bites, Eh! Gentle, and only open your fist if he starts licking. and remember to say Good Gentle, when he gets his treat.
When he is 100% good at this, make it tougher, and put it between the thumb and fore-finger. Remind him, GENTLE. Do not let him have it if he snatches. If he takes it carefully, Good Gentle.
When he is good at this, then you are ready to use the GENTLE word with other things. GENTLE with my fingers, when he gets rough, GENTLE with Grandma. Gentle with the girls.
Heck, I give cheese to my nieces, and I tell them, remind her to be Gentle. And they do. And they give the cheese to Jenna or Babs or Odie. They do not snatch. They know what GENTLE means. Because I teach it. It is like loading a clicker. You are loading that word to teach the dog to be careful with his teeth. Eventually, you can drop the treats, and you can forget to remind the dog to take treats Gently. But as often as you can remember, tell him good Gentle when he is gentle.
And not in a high pitched happy voice, and not it a deep dark voice, make it a soothing, moderately toned voice.
Our voices can amp our dogs up, and make them excited, and they can drop them down, even shut them down. What we want for the GENTLE command, is a Gentle, calm, easy voice, that isn't going to wind the dog up, but will let the dog know that he has done good.
Good luck with your puppy, he is normal.
11.5 week puppy biting me
Hi Everyone,
It's my first time writing, i have read many of the puppy forums and they have been good to read!
I have a wonderful 11.5 week male puppy, purebred german line german shepherd. I have met his mother, father and even grandfather and they all have amazing temperaments, very well behaved. The breeder is top and i know her dogs always become loyal calm gsds.
Obviously he is still a puppy and biting/nipping/chewing are to be expected. He is a good boy most of the time, except after food time when he has high energy levels. I make sure i keep him occupied and use up his energy with the family.
My issue is that although he nips/bites my dad/brother/mum, once they say no and tug him by the neck, he is fine and hardly bites them. However, when it comes to me , boy is he persistent. I yell NO! and tug him and distract with a toy, but with me he starts to bark and pounce around, i thought it may be aggressive but his tail wags like he is a happy boy. But i really don't think he is being aggressive.
I wish he'd stop and listen. He doesn't bite as frequently, but when he does it hurts!
I dont know why he does it to me, as i am the one he is with most of the time. He is usually very placid, obedient and happy and follows me around everywhere. He loves my family, but i am the one he clings to most "the chosen one". Which is why i don't understand his biting behaviour towards me.
As i said he doesn't do it 24/7, he's very calm and gentle. It's just after meal time and when he's full of energy. I love him and i would like this to stop, so it doesn't continue when he is older.
Any advice would be wonderful!

I am preparing to teach both Vantage and Higher from September using the 'Success with BEC' series of textbooks, having previously taught with the 'Pass...' series from Summertown. I have twenty-six 135 minute lessons.
Having planned the first few units for Vantage, I can see that the Business Topic and Business Skills parts of the modules each have enough material for a single lesson. With 12 units, these will take 24 lessons to teach, leaving no time for the Exam Spotlight parts of units (with material for 60 minutes or so), and little time for revision.
I am wondering what other teachers do - beyond the obvious answer of making selective use of materials (and setting some for homework) in order to go faster!
Have others found it possible to complete the second and third parts of a unit in a similar time to the first part?
Thanks for any thoughts from people with experience with these books.

DELTA course pre-course reading
It will be particularly advantageous to you, especially if you are taking the intensive course, to do as much as reading before the course begins as possible.
Essential reading
Books you are recommended to buy, read cover-to-cover, and bring with you:
* Jeremy Harmer (2001) The Practice of English Language Teaching 3rd edition (Longman)
* Scott Thornbury (1997) About Language (CUP)
Recommended pre-course reading
The following are all "well worth" reading:
* Carter and Nunan (eds) (2001) The Cambridge Guide to Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CUP)
* Larsen Freeman (2000) Techniques and Principles in Language Teaching 2nd edition (OUP)
* Lightbown & Spada (2006) How Languages are Learned revised edition (OUP)
Further recommended pre-course reading
The following you might dip into before the course. You will also find that you will be referring to these for your assignments.
* Harmer (2004) How to Teach Writing (OUP)
* Hughes, Arthur (2002) Testing for Language Teachers 2nd edition (CUP)
* Lewis (1997) Implementing the Lexical Approach (LTP)
* Thornbury (2000) How to Teach Grammar (Longman)
* Thornbury (2002) How to Teach Vocabulary (Longman)
* Thornbury (2005) How to Teach Speaking (Longman)
* Thornbury (2005) Beyond the Sentence - Introducing Discourse Analysis (Macmillan Heinemann)
* Willis (1996) A Framework for Task-Based Learning (Longman)
* White, Goodith (1998) Listening (OUP)
The British Council are trying to sell this as a must have for any serious ELT professional but would not having one really preclude you from getting any job in the world?
Personally I think it's a lot of dough to be shelling out when you consider the opportunity cost of it all.

'"It felt good to get this out of the way," center Derek Roy said about the Sabres' first playoff game. "We've been expecting our first playoff game for a long time and I think we responded pretty well. We're skating on the defensive side and blocking a lot of shots, which we need to do in the playoffs. We kept them to one shot in the first period and that's a credit to blocking shots and playing defense."'

Celebs are always giving us ladies loads of makeup inspiration. With glamorous red carpet looks, there are tons of styles to reinterpret for the holidays. Here are two ways to recreate some of the hottest beauty trends of tinsel town:
Red lip
'Tis the season to get all dolled up, and a bold red lip is the perfect addition to your holiday dress. Nickelodeon's Ariana Grande has been known to rock this color with her flirty frocks. The creme luxe lipstick comes in a range of hues so you can pick whichever tone works best for you. If you want an edgy look, go for the deep moody merlot. Red truffle is a bit brighter, yet equally impactful. If you want a more cheery color, opt for sweet mango, which has orange undertones.
Winged eye
Next we turn to "Glee" star Heather Morris for makeup inspiration. Her winged eye has the perfect balance between edgy and flirty. Just use your BH liquid liner to create the slick edges of this cat eye. Then highlight your lid even more with an eyeshadow that matches your outfit. Hint: Use shimmery powder for the holidays.
