Tonight, the Knicks try to keep their season alive down in South Beach. Headed into this pivotal game 5, the already short-handed Knicks will be even more short-handed. Thanks to an almost comical (yet incredibly depressing) set of events, the Knicks will be down to their 4th and 5th string point guards tonight. Jeremy Lin's knee is still not ready to play on, Baron Davis shredded his knee in game 4 and Iman Shumpert blew out his knee in game 1. New York will rely on the crypt-keeper, Mike Bibby, to run the point tonight. Welp… we'll also see Toney Douglas get some run tonight. Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire led the Knicks to victory in game 4, scoring 61 of New York's 89 points, and they'll have to do it again tonight. I think they can do it and I feel surprisingly optimistic about the game tonight.
Here's what to watch for:
- Obviously, the glaring issue for the Knicks is the depth, or lack of, at the point guard position. With Davis, Shumpert and Lin sidelined, the Knicks are going to need Mike Bibby and Toney Douglas to lead the way tonight. Obviously they're not going to be taking a lot of shots, but their effectiveness will impact the game tonight. Bibby must continue to do what he's done over the past few games. He has to not turn the ball over, while delivering crisp entry passes and hitting open shots. Toney Douglas must remember the principles of basketball. He must realize that he does not always need to shoot off a pick and roll. When players are open, Douglas must remember that he can throw it to them. Rather than chuck fastballs into LeBron's chest, Douglas has to find some open Knicks to pass to. When Douglas shoots, he must remember that the backboard is not your friend. He seems to have fallen in love with the 27 foot brick off the backboard, which has to stop. In all seriousness, Douglas will play some big minutes tonight. If he can play within the offense and hit a shot or two, he'll be effective. If he continues to play like the Toney Douglas that failed this season, worse than me on my Math Final, then the Knicks will be in trouble.
- The Knicks need to get Stoudemire more touches tonight. He was 8/13 in game 4, scored 20 points and grabbed 10 boards. For the series, Stoudemire is shooting 55%. I understand that its a small sample size, but the fact is that Stoudemire has played well offensively when he's gotten touches. He needs to get 15-18 shots tonight. With the Knicks being shorthanded, their already questionable offense has become more questionable. They paid Stoudemire a max contract, they may as well use him. Anthony is going to get his touches and his shots, but I think it is imperative for the Knicks to work to get Stoudemire his shots and touches.
- Will SuperMelo show up tonight? Carmelo Anthony has had two good games in this series and two very poor games. Obviously, the Knicks' chances of success increase greatly when Anthony doesn't shoot ice cold from the field. Anthony is going to get his touches and shots tonight. I'm worried about how he'll get his touches. The Knicks must work to get Anthony what I call "good-iso's". Rather than throw it at him with 5 seconds left on the shot clock out past the three point line, the Knicks have to make sure Anthony gets good looks. They've got to get him the ball in his spots. He's got to get opportunities in the high post, low post and in his mid-range spots. Also, if the Knicks can also work, through off ball screens and rubs, to get Anthony guarded by Shane Battier, they're going to be in good shape. Anthony has been far better when Battier has guarded him than when LeBron James has. When matched up against James, Anthony seems unwilling to drive to the hoop and get to the line. He settles for too many jump shots and it throws his whole offensive game out of rhythm. Against Battier, he has been far more aggressive and has dominated.
- Tyson Chandler also has to dominate. Hell, at this rate everyone has to dominate! Just kidding. Obviously Melo and Amar'e must carry the team offensively, but Chandler has to be equally as dominant on defense. He has been far from dominant this series, but his flu sickness is largely responsible for that. Chandler should be up to full strength and the Knicks need him back at full strength. Even in New York's game 4 victory, Chandler did not have a great game. I thought often times he was caught out of position and he didn't make his usual 3-4 impact defensive plays. Credit Miami's offense, but Chandler did not play a great game. I think if he can hold down the paint, the Knicks will have a real good shot at winning.
- I also want to see a Jorts smash tonight. The young farmhand has had a quality series thus far and I'd like to see him put someone on a poster. Go Jorts go!

1. Re: JBoss as a socket clientWolf-Dieter Fink Mar 26, 2012 3:27 PM (in response to Earnest Dyke)
It sounds like that a JCA connector can do that for you.
You have to implement your own connector, and if you use more that this connector in one transaction you should implement XA-transactions.
2. Re: JBoss as a socket clientEarnest Dyke Mar 26, 2012 3:54 PM (in response to Wolf-Dieter Fink)
Thanks Wolf.
I thouhgt of JCA but in researching it it seemed to me that JCA was more "pooling" focused and the nature of my application is that I will have 1000s of socket end points that will be opened, used then closed (maybe only once in a day). So JCA seems like overkill. Am I missing something?
3. Re: JBoss as a socket clientWolf-Dieter Fink Mar 27, 2012 4:24 AM (in response to Earnest Dyke)
I suppose that your app is stateless, so every call via socket is independent.
That is exact what JCA is for. You open only a bunch of sockets and such connection will be reused.
You can ensure that a socket is not reused if the transaction is running, that is a implementation detail of the JCA connector.
4. Re: JBoss as a socket clientEarnest Dyke Mar 27, 2012 7:51 AM (in response to Wolf-Dieter Fink)
I understand what you are saying but unlike a connection to a data source where there are a defined number of connections to a specific ip address/host this app will have single connections to 1000s of "hosts" none of which can be shared.
5. Re: JBoss as a socket clientWolf-Dieter Fink Mar 27, 2012 2:19 PM (in response to Earnest Dyke)
At the moment it is still unclear to me how it works.
- a external client know internal host names?
- open and close sockets might have a bad performance (ok, maybe not if it is not very frequent)
Do you mean by 'logical transaction' that this Tx spans more than one external request? But in this case I'm not sure how you work with the socket ... stateful beans?
So in fact there is no technical restriction that stop you handle sockets.
But I would think about the architecture .... (but I have not the complete picture, so it's on you)
6. Re: JBoss as a socket clientEarnest Dyke Mar 27, 2012 3:13 PM (in response to Wolf-Dieter Fink)
I have been experimenting today and you are definately correct: JCA is the correct way to do this. I have created a JCA datasource for the connections my app needs and a RESTFul service front ends the whole thing. Pretty cool!!!
For clarity, we have a legacy app that needs to get digital signature from a Verifone device. The legacy app knows the ip address of the device associated with the terminal where the legacy app is running so the legacy app makes a RESTFul service call passing the ip address/port of the device. The app I am developing must then, now using a JCA, connect to the proper device over a socket connection. The logical process of signing takes a couple of requests back and forth between my app and the device. Once done, the connection is closed, and the RESTFul service returns the results.
Thanks for you help!!!

Money apparently doesn't buy happiness, though it does buy anti-depressants.
A World Health Organization-sponsored study by the American BMC Medical Journal found that people in richer countries, for the most part, show more prevalence of major depressive episodes.
The results are based on surveys with 90,000 people in 18 countries, some face to face. On average, over half of all respondents in rich and middle-income countries reported having had a depressive episode at some point in their lives.
Though the scientific survey was extensive and thorough, there are some discrepancies. For instance, depression rates in Japan are low across the board, though they have one of the highest suicide rates in the world. The ways that different cultures would respond to a survey about depression vary. In some countries, certain indicators of depression are thought of as physical diseases.
Xavier Briffault, a researcher at France's National Center for Scientific Research told France 24, "In developed countries, people are very accustomed to hearing and talking openly about depression. In low-income countries that is not the case."

New USC Branch to Study How Pix Impact Culture/
Education Impact Report 2012
by Iain Blair, Variety
For decades, USC's School of Cinematic Arts (SCA) has trained young filmmakers for successful commercial careers. Now, the Los Angeles-based film school unveils a program, the USC Media Institute for Social Change, in which students will use those same skills to make the world a better place.
"As filmmakers, the work we do has a huge impact on the culture. With that comes a responsibility, perhaps even an obligation, to use that impact for the greater good," says SCA film and television production chair Michael Taylor, who co-founded the initiative with Peter Samuelson and serves as its executive director. "While making entertaining films, we can also weave into the narrative a message of social change."
According to Taylor, the institute has three goals: "First, we'll give scholarship to students who commit to this concept of social change. Second, we'll act as a service for professional filmmakers already doing that, and provide an expert in climate change, immigration or whatever issue they're dealing with, to ensure that the facts are correct. Third, once these projects have been released or broadcast, we'll do research to actually measure the impact they have on the culture."
To help achieve these goals, the institute has introduced several courses into its curriculum, including one titled "Making Media for Social Change" taught by Taylor.
"I have 12 students, and each one is making a short film dealing with an issue of their choice," he reports. "Only one is a documentary — the traditional way of dealing with such subjects. The rest are fictional pieces, where the issue isn't necessarily out front, and that's the point. It can be a thriller or a romantic comedy and still have a message of some social value."
The institute has already partnered with the Geena Davis Institute, known for its gender studies, to contribute to a PBS series; the United Nations; and TrueSpark, which exposes inner-city schools to classic films.
"My hope is that all this will raise consciousness among young filmmakers and the next generation will go into the industry knowing how to use media to tell stories with a positive impact," he says.

I am pleased to announce that I have been asked to serve as KCTV5's new food & drink contributor in Kansas City. I will have a small segment on the early morning show called, "It's Your Morning," on Channel 5 from 6:00 am - 7:00 am. On this show, I'll bring you food news going down in our little cowtown. My first segment will air Monday, September 24th around 6:45 am, and I will feature the 5 hot dishes in Kansas City that everyone is talking about and should be eating. I am so looking forward to doing this show and hope you will tune in each Friday morning as I work to bring you all the news that is fit to eat.
5 Hot Dishes to Try in KC
1) Port Fonda's Chilaquiles - Located in the heart of Westport at 4141 W. Pennsylvania Avenue, Port Fonda's Executive Chef and Owner, Chef Patrick Ryan has spared no expense re-interpreting his food truck into a groovy new space. The dish that made him famous when he was mobile is the same dish that everyone is talking about now that he is on cooking on terra firma . . .chiliquiles. A traditional Mexican dish, chiliquiles is served typically for breakfast, as a way to utilize the left over tortilla chips and to chase a hang-over away. Chef Patrick, who worked under Chef Rick Bayless in Chicago, makes his chiliquiles with chips, salsa de molcajete, chorizo verde, fried egg, crema, cilantro, onion & lime for only $7.50.
2) The Jacbbson's Stuffed Meatballs - Meatballs are on every menu in this town right now, and Chef John Smith offers his version stuffed with goat cheese, and made with both pork and beef. You can find them on both the lunch and dinner menu, and whether you get them as an appetizer or piled high ontop of the Bucatini Pasta plate for $18, they are delicious. Have you not been to the newest hot spot in the Crossroads? Well then, what are you waiting for, the hottest 3-season patio awaits. Get youself to The Jacobson, located at 2050 Central, Kansas City, MO. Everyone, including their own staff, will immediately confess that this is one of their favorite dishes. I have to confess it is one of my new favorites too. So very, Lady & The Tramp, no?
3) Affare's Roasted Boar Loin - Chef Martin Heuser and his wife, Katrin, have turned the old space that was Bar Natasha, into a stunning dining room called Affare located at 1911 Main Street. Open for only a couple of months at this point, Affare is earning it's reputation for Chef Martin's high-end food and pitch perfert portion sizes. Check out his new Fall menu and try the roasted boar with forest mushroom sauce, Hazelnut spatzle, red wine poached pears and cranberries for $17. It is like Thanksgiving dinner on a plate.
4) Remedy Food + Drink's Eggplant Fries - Long, crisp and sticky . . .Chef Max Watson has hit a nerve in this mostly meat and potato town with this veggie dish that many in KC are buzzing about for only $6.50. Eggplants, flashed fried and drizzled with honey. What doesn't taste better drizzled in honey? I ask you. Located in the old Kennedy's bar in Waldo, a great example of locals in the neighborhood frequenting the new kid on the block with new eyes and appetites.
5) Peanches Chicken Liver Parfait & Pickles - Chef Pete Peterman is ready for his close-up after laying low for several years, he finally opened up his new place at 900 39th Street called Peanches, a tribute to his Mother and to the Chef's "Missoura" roots. Order a bottle of wine and then start with the chicken liver parfait with housemade garlic pickles and toast and marvel at how creamy, and sinfully delicious something as simple as chicken liver pate can truly be for $10. This is good old home cooking your Momma never made. It is personal and it was prepared by a Chef, a fact that you never lose sight of while dining at his restaurant. Visit by making your reservation on his website today.

Math Education
Yesterday (March 13), the National Mathematics Advisory Panel released its final report. The panel, created by President Bush in April 2006, was charged with making recommendations to the President and the Secretary on the best use of scientifically based research to advance the teaching and learning of mathematics, with a specific focus on preparation for and success in algebra (grades PK-8). Why algebra? It is a "demonstrable gateway to later achievement," needed for higher math in high school. Also, completion of Algebra II correlates significantly with success in college and future earnings. Panelists, including mathematicians, cognitive psychologists, and educators, held 12 meetings across the country (receiving testimony from 200 individuals and 150 organizations), reviewed 16,000 studies, and scrutinized surveys from 743 algebra teachers. The result is 45 findings and recommendations on a range of items, including instructional practices, materials, assessments, and teacher professional development. Below are some highlights.
Core Principles of Math Instruction
- The areas to be studied from pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade should be streamlined, and a well-defined set of the most important topics should be emphasized in the early grades. Any approach that revisits topics year after yearwithout brining them to closureshould be avoided.
- Proficiency with whole numbers, fractions, and aspects of geometry and measurement are the foundations for algebra. Of these, knowledge of fractions is the most important skill not developed among American students.
- Conceptual understanding, computational and procedural fluency, and problem-solving skills are equally important and mutually reinforce each other.
- Students should develop immediate recall of arithmetic facts to free the "working memory" for solving more complex problems.
- More students should be prepared for and offered an "authentic" algebra course in the eighth-grade. The major topics of school algebra include symbols and expressions, linear equations, quadratic equations, functions, polynomials, and combinatorics and finite probability.
Effective Instruction Matters
- Teachers' regular use of formative assessments can improve student learning. The belief that children of particular ages cannot learn certain content because they are "too young" or "not ready" has consistently been shown to be false.
- Explicit instruction for students who struggle is effective in increasing learning.
- Gifted students should be allowed to accelerate their learning.
- Publishers should produce shorter, more focused, and more mathematically accurate textbooks. The excessive length of some U.S. textbooks is not necessary for high achievement.
Other Findings
- Much of the public's "resignation" about math education is based on the erroneous idea that success comes from inherent talent or ability, not effort. A focus on the importance of effort in learning will improve outcomes. If students believe that their efforts to learn make them "smarter," they show greater persistence in learning.
- Teachers' math knowledge is important for students' achievement. The preparation of elementary and middle school educators should be strengthened. Also, the use of teachers who have specialized in elementary math could be an alternative to increasing all elementary teachers' content knowledge by focusing the need for expertise on a fewer teachers.
- The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and state assessments in math should be improved in quality and should emphasize the most critical knowledge and skills leading to algebra.
The Department will convene a national summit based on the recommendations of the panel. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/mathpanel/.
NCLB Update
Continuing her national tour, Secretary Spellings visited three more states to discuss critical issues in K-12 education: North Carolina (3/5), West Virginia (3/7), and New York (3/10). Moreover, maximizing the agency's outreach, Deputy Secretary Ray Simon visited four states: Arkansas (3/10), Colorado (3/12), North Dakota (3/13), and New Mexico (3/14). At each location, they presented state-specific No Child Left Behind information from a new tool recently unveiled by the Department (see http://www.ed.gov/nclb/accountability/results/progress/). These two-page "dashboards" provide statistics on state and NAEP test scores, graduation rates, schools making Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), highly qualified teachers, parents taking advantage of choice and supplemental educational service options, state participation in flexibility options, and more. The simple format, with charts and graphs, reveals bright spots as well as concerns. Next week, using feedback from these visits, the Secretary will announce a series of assessment and accountability actions.
On March 6, the Secretary delivered poignant remarks at the Reading First State Directors Conference. "Just last week, we learned that, for the first time, more than one out of every 100 Americans is incarcerated," she said. "Reducing these numbers starts early. It starts with giving our young people the knowledge and skills to succeed in school and in the workforce. I don't need to tell you that reading opens the door to history, science, literature, geography, and more. Reading opens the door to opportunity. So, instead of cutting funding for programs that are proven to work, let's make them more available!" In Fiscal Year 2008, Congress cut funding for Reading First by 61%. President Bush has proposed restoring funding to $1 billion. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2008/03/03062008.html.
In a letter to Chief State School Officers (http://www.ed.gov/admins/lead/account/saapr5.pdf), Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education Kerri Briggs announced the Department's revised peer review process for science assessments. Responding to concerns that the process is not transparent and does not furnish timely feedback, she is offering states the opportunity to have face-to-face conversations with peers and receive technical assistance from these experts. Also, in keeping with changes made last fall, states may select one of the peers from the list of approved experts for the state's review. This is the first year science assessments are required to be administered once each in grades 3-5, 6-9, and 10-12. The assessments are not included in determinations of AYP.
American Stars
The Department is still accepting nominations for its 2008 American Stars of Teaching awards, which recognize educators who are boosting student achievementusing innovative instructional strategiesand making a difference in the lives of their students. Anyone (students, parents, colleagues, administrators, etc.) can nominate an American Star. After the Department receives a nomination, a verification form is sent to the teacher's principal. One teacher will be recognized from each state and the District of Columbia. The deadline for nominations is March 31. For more information, please go to https://www.t2tweb.us/AmStar/About.asp.
Also: Applications for Teaching Ambassador Fellowship positions at the Department are due April 7. These positions offer highly motivated and innovative public school teachers the opportunity to contribute their knowledge and experience to the national dialogue on education. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/programs/teacherfellowship/.
Transforming Higher Education
Today (March 14), Secretary Spellings testified before the House Committee on Education and Labor on the availability of federal student loans. "Recent volatility in credit markets has raised some concern about the continued availability of student loans," she said. "I want to reassure you that federal student aidgrants, loans through both the Direct Loan and Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) programs, and work-studywill continue to be available to students and their families." For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2008/03/03142008.html.
Other higher education-related resources:
- At the hearing, the Secretary released a new brochure, "Federal Aid First" (http://www.ed.gov/federalaidfirst/), which explains why students looking to borrow money for postsecondary education should apply for loans from the federal government first, before seeking assistance from private lenders.
- The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Program Guide (http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/
opeprogramguide.html) organizes OPE's programs by primary purpose ("Helping All Americans Reach Postsecondary Education," "Improving Teaching at All Levels," "Supporting Undergraduate Students," etc.) and provides a summary of the program with a link to the main program page.
- "Ten Years After College" (http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2008155) examines college graduates' work experiences in 1994, 1997, and 2003, describing their status, employment stability and intensity, occupations and industries, salaries and benefits, and perceptions about their jobs.
Funding Opportunities
Searching for dollars? Several grant competitions are in progress. For example, the Early Reading First Program supports local efforts to enhance the oral language, cognitive, and early reading skills of preschool-age children, particularly those from low-income families, through strategies, materials, and professional development. The competition is open to high-need school districts (http://www.ed.gov/programs/earlyreading/eligibility.html) and organizations (public or private) within those districts. The deadline for pre-applications is April 7, while the deadline for applications is June 10. Also, the School Leadership Grant Program assists in the development, enhancement, or expansion of innovative programs to recruit, train, and mentor principals and assistant principals for high-need schools. The competition is open to high-need districts and institutions of higher education in partnership with districts. A "notice of intent" to apply is due April 2, while the deadline for applications is May 2. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/GrantApps/.
Also: April 14 and 15, the Department is sponsoring four, one-hour technical assistance conference calls to assist states in applying for funding under the College Access Challenge Grant (http://www.ed.gov/programs/cacg/). These calls will focus on program requirements and the application process. To register for a conference call (at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. ET, each day), contact Karmon Simms-Coates at email@example.com.
Intel Science Awards
On March 13, Secretary Spellings joined Intel Chairman Craig Barrett to honor Intel Science Talent Search (STS) finalists. STS is America's oldest (1942) and most prestigious high school science competition. (Since 1998, STS has been sponsored by Intel.) More than 1,600 students entered the contest this year; the 40 finalists hailed from 19 states and 35 high schools. The top prize went to Shivani Sud of Durham, North Carolina, who developed a model that analyzed the specific "molecular signatures" of tumors from patients with Stage II colon cancer. She then used this information to identify those at higher risk for tumor recurrence and propose potentially effective drugs for treatment. She joins some esteemed alumni: six Nobel Laureates, three National Medal of Science winners, 10 MacArthur Foundation Fellows, and two Field Medalists. For more information, please go to http://www.intel.com/education/sts/.
Quote to Note
"This [National Mathematics Advisory Panel] report represents the first comprehensive analysis of math education to be based on sound science. The panel's findings and recommendations make very clear what must be done to help our children succeed in math. We must teach number and math concepts early, we must help students believe they can improve their math skills, and we must ensure they fully comprehend algebra concepts by the time they graduate from high school. The panel's extensive work will benefit generations of American students."
|Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings (3/13/08)
Upcoming Events
Over the next two weeks, the Department will be exhibiting at the National Catholic Educational Association's Annual Convention in Indianapolis (March 25-28), the National Science Teachers Association's National Conference on Science Education (theme: Bridge to the Future) in Boston (March 27-30), and the National School Boards Association's Annual Conference in Orlando (March 29-April 1).

After a disappointing start to the month, both Dynamo Academy squads rebounded to win two out of three games at the USSF Development Academy Spring Showcase and close their regular seasons with resounding wins on Monday.
Entering Monday's game against Arsenal FC, the U-18s sat in 12th place in the wildcard standings, with only 12 wildcard spots available for the USSF Development Academy playoffs. After defeating the Virginia Rush 3-1 on Saturday, the Dynamo came out strong Monday and defeated a very tough Arsenal squad 3-0. Martin Castillo (Pasadena Sam Rayburn) scored twice, and Abe Matamoros (Strake Jesuit) added a third to keep Houston's playoff hopes alive.
The Dynamo controlled play for much of the game and did not allow Arsenal to move the ball. The U-18s must now wait to find out if the two wins to end the season were enough to punch their ticket to postseason play.
For the past two months, the U-16s have struggled to put points on the board, but the team played inspired soccer over the weekend, capping things off with a 5-2 victory over the Richmond Strikers on Monday. Forward Bryan Salazar (Fort Bend Bush) scored two goals for the second straight game. Isaiah Noreiga (Humble Kingwood Park), Gabriel Moreno (Pearland), and Alfredo Gallegos (Houston Lamar) each tallied a score for the Dynamo in their biggest win of the season.

Paul Lambert is priming his Aston Villa players for a "cup final" that could secure the club's Premier League status.
The under-pressure manager was far from downbeat following his side's 4-1 defeat to Swansea at the Liberty Stadium yesterday.
He felt his team had performed well for more than an hour before the hosts pulled away with goals from Pablo Hernandez and an injury-time Wilfried Bony penalty.
The heavy loss, which capped a run of only one point from the last 18, left Villa in 16th, only four points above the relegation zone. And with daunting trips to title-chasing Manchester City followed by Tottenham to round off the season, Lambert knows next week's clash with Hull at Villa Park could prove crucial.
"Next week's game is a cup final," he said.
"That's it, in a nutshell."
Villa and Lambert were booed by their travelling support at the end of the game. But Lambert said he will shoulder that criticism and is expecting the claret and blue faithful to be fully behind their team for the crunch game with Hull.
He added: "If you ask any football person - if your destiny is in your own hands, you take it. You don't want to rely on anybody else."
Bony's opener was cancelled out by a well-worked goal from Gabby Agbonlahor as Villa arguably had the better of the first half.
But a stunning 45-yard lob from Jonjo Shelvey was a dagger to the heart. Going into the break 2-1 down, the visitors never recovered.
Nevertheless, Lambert's opposite number Garry Monk believes Villa, like his Swansea side, will beat the drop.
He said: "On this evidence, I think yes. Obviously, they'll be disappointed with the result, but you could see enough fight and quality.
"After the first goal for us, when we went one up, I think for the next 15, 20 minutes they showed what they can do and they had some very good opportunities.
"I think we defended well in that period and stayed in the game, conceded just the one goal which was disappointing, but I can see more than enough for them to survive."
The win further strengthened Swansea's own hopes of survival.
Monk added: "For us, it's been a disappointing season overall. The standards haven't been there, we've been a little bit inconsistent but we want to finish strongly and that's the message we try to put out in the last few games.
"Hopefully, in the next two games we can do that and really finish the season on a positive."
Monk, who was given the interim manager's job after Michael Laudrup was sacked in February, is expecting to speak to the board "soon" about his future.
"Hopefully, very soon," he said.
"Just to clear it up and clarify exactly what their thoughts are for the future. I think that's for the good of the club, the fans, myself, everyone. And I'm sure the chairman thinks that."

For over 50 million years, bats and moths have been engaged in an evolutionary arms race: bats evolving new tricks to catch moths, and moths developing counter-measures to escape bats. William Conner, a biologist at Wake Forest University, studies this interaction by filming bat attacks. He and his colleagues report on a new weapon in the moth arsenal: the tiger moth's ability to make sounds that interfere with a bat's ability to echolocate its prey.

Cheltenham's November meeting, better known under its previous guise as The Open or even the Paddy Power, is so popular that its reputation is largely untouchable.
Even if the racing doesn't come up to scratch, it can be relied upon to be revered as the gateway to the Jumps season proper. A ritualistic pilgrimage for many racing fans and long-standing members of the course to renew old acquaintances over a bevvy or six.
Attendance figures duly stood up well over the three days last weekend, with more than 68,000 flocking through the gates. But did that make the meeting a success in the eyes of punters and racegoers?
It's doubtful that you will discover much disapproval within the racing media, large swathes of which, as I have touched on before, take unashamed glee in extolling the virtues of the Jumps game at the expense of the Flat. I even read one headline describing the meeting as "exhilarating". That's the last word I would have chosen and is concrete proof of how its reputation can precede reality. In fact, at times, I found it hard work, which is something I never thought I'd say about Cheltenham. It was certainly the most underwhelming November meeting I can remember.
Maybe the weather was to blame. The track was bathed in rain on Saturday, spoiling the occasion for racegoers, ruining the ground and dislodging the credibility of the form. Of course, that wasn't the track's fault. As late as 8 am on the day, not a drop of rain was forecast, yet it proceeded to bucket down for the best part of six hours, dropping 12mm. Simon Claisse, Cheltenham's experienced and admirable clerk of the course, was right to bat away criticisms and ridiculous accusations of pre-meeting over-watering. But at the same time, the extent to which the rain affected the ground, which deteriorated alarmingly, was very disappointing. It meant that a sizeable portion of Saturday's card and all of Sunday's card were run on a surface described by one jockey as like ploughing through PVA glue. And while, surprisingly, it did not result in a surfeit non-runners, it did create the kind of unsatisfactory track bias normally associated with the draw on the Flat, rendering the wide outside palpably the best place to be.
Saturday still yielded, for the most part, an interesting, competitive seven-race card, even if the number of runners was down by about 20 per cent on the corresponding day the previous year and punters were riled by a couple of 25/1 winners, including SPLASH OF GINGE in the feature race, the BetVictor Gold Cup. But surely it is time for Cheltenham to beef up the fare on Friday and Sunday. Six-race cards have no justifiable place at any meeting outside the Festival itself, Royal Ascot and York's Ebor meeting, and their limitations are exposed even more when, as was the case on Friday, one of the races is a cross-country chase and, as was the case on Sunday, one of the races is a Bumper. Personally, I can handle as many Bumpers as can be thrown at me, but most racing fans can't. As for cross-country races, they are tedious, tiresome affairs, the relevance of which has been diminished by the advent of veterans' chases. With the schedule blighted even further by a chronic shortage of runners in the novice events which, granted, is a problem not unique to Prestbury Park, the package on offer became seriously diluted.
Over the three days, the five novice events over fences and hurdles featured just 21 horses. Of their winners, FINIAN'S OSCAR is clearly potentially top-class, but his main rival, WILLIAM HENRY, was never at the races; NORTH HILL HARVEY is a likeable young chaser, but his main rival, RIVER WYLDE, hated the ground; BLACK CORTON shed more light on the rise of jockey Bryony Frost, but one of their two rivals, WEST APPROACH, jumped poorly; and while SLATE HOUSE looked a lovely prospect in the 2m hurdle, the favourite, DAME DE COMPAGNIE, did not perform and the race was reduced to near-farce by the omission of three flights because of low sun. Don't let me ride that particular hobby-horse, but suffice to say that the issue of low sun, coupled with the sad death of the talented dual-purpose horse, LONDON PRIZE, in the Greatwood Hurdle was enough to have me trudging for the exit long before the concluding Bumper on Sunday.
Of course, I will be back. I might be a hack, but I've been a member there for more than 25 years. Cheltenham remains the magnetic Mecca of Jumps racing. The Festival is a sporting event beyond compare. I love the December meeting, and Trials Day in January is not to be missed. But I just wonder if it's time to run the rule over the November offering and ask if it is still serving its purpose effectively. Certainly, if a meeting is to be judged by the quality of its performances, then the 2017 renewal came up short. With the exception of FOX NORTON, who oozed class in the Shloer Chase, and the Nicky Henderson hurdlers APPLE'S SHAKIRA, who took apart the juvenile hurdle on her UK debut, and ON THE BLIND SIDE, who looked an embryonic contender for the Albert Bartlett at the Festival, very little got me over-excited.
Maybe the format needs surgery. A cursory glance over the 19 races suggests the three-day menu could be comfortably condensed into two. That is unlikely to happen, given the demand that is reflected through the aforementioned attendance figures and given that each day boasts its individual, long-established theme. But it's a culling operation that Newbury has pulled off successfully with its Hennessy meeting, now transformed into the Ladbrokes Winter Carnival. The sponsors are working feverishly to turn this two-day extravaganza into one of the highlights of the season, both in terms of prize money and quality of race, so it will be interesting to compare next week's experience with that which has just drifted by at Cheltenham.

Lloyd Barnes' latest offering, SloMo Sandwich, offers a really interesting moment of eye-candy that card workers will enjoy playing with. It's an interesting, original variation of the classic Sandwich plot. Check it out at http://www.ellusionist.com/slomo-san...yd-barnes.html.
Lloyd Barnes has an incredible knack for taking already impressive feats of magic and making them seem somehow real. Absolutely impossible, incredibly visual - but real. The SloMo Sandwich is no exception.
Two aces are removed from a deck of cards while a spectator chooses and signs a card, before returning it to the middle of the deck. The deck is fairly squared, and the face up aces set to work locating the spectators selection.
The performer rubs the empty spot between the two slightly spread finder cards. Unbelievably, a single card s-l-o-w-l-y melts into view under the fingertips.
The performer even pauses halfway through the appearance, showing the impossible image of only part of the selection sandwiched by the two aces. The transformation continues and the full card comes into view, before cleanly being turned over to show the spectators signature. All three cards may be immediately handed out for inspection.
The Sandwich Plot may be a classic of magic, but Lloyd Barnes just brought it into the 21st century.

Sorry moms. You're responsible yet again, and before I tell you why, you might consider putting down that cocktail.
New research says that moms determine their children's drinking habits and the amount of beers dads drinks don't have any impact, according to the British Telegraph. (Why do dads always get off so easy?!?)
The British nonpartisan political think tank Demos followed the beer-drinking and wine-swilling habits of 18,000 people over three decades (Yes, this seems to be a thorough study). Researchers assessed study participants' alcohol intake at age 16 and 34.
They found that typical 16-year-olds are mainly influenced by their peers when it comes to drinking. No surprises, here. Peer pressure is a powerful thing.
But by age 34, people's drinking patterns are tightly connected to those of their mothers, and the more a a mother drank while raising kids, the more alcohol her children are likely to consume later in life. The study reports that a person's propensity to "binge drinking" rose "in line with how much they had thought, as a child, that their mother drank," the Telegraph reports.
"What we found really interesting was this delayed effect; the impact of what teenagers perceived about their mothers' drinking habits doesn't show an impact at the time, but decades later," Jonathan Birdwell, head of Demos' Citizens Programme, told the Telegraph.
Dads, on the other hand, are completely off the hook. Researchers learned that children were less influenced by their dads because men often drink outside the house at bars, while moms are sipping drinks around their kids at home.
How seriously should we take this study? Probably not too seriously, since we're now in the 21st century and more dads are sticking around home. "The study's participants were born in 1970, so the possible social explanations for the mom drinking link are a little outdated, even if they've already affected the drinking habits of an entire generation," a Jezebel article points out.
What we should take away from this study is that kids are easily influenced and parents with serious alcohol problems should seek help for their kids' sake. And moms, if your husband is frequently leaving you at home to hit the bars with his buddies, make sure that he's returning the favor. You deserve nights out with your friends too! It's much more enjoyable to sip a fine vintage at a wine bar with girlfriends than it is to slug wine at home while you're helping kids with homework.
Bottom line: Parents should be good role-models for their kids when it comes to alcohol. Enjoy wine with dinner but no need to show them what a game of quarters looks like. And if you want to party-hardy, it's always better to find a responsible sitter or leave one parent at home who is going to engage with the kids and not the liquor cabinet.
What do you think about this new study? Do you drink around your kids? Did your parents consume alcohol around you when you were a kid?

Looks like you grab the ISO and then break it down from there. Haven't gotten around to trying it myself, but makes sense.

Favorite Pro Player: Steve Rico. His attitude towards others, commitment to the game, and the tremendous amount of work he puts into the sport make him my favorite pro player.
Tips for newer players and players looking to improve: Don't limit yourself to one type of throw. Work on the backhand, sidearm, thumber, roller, etc… Also, spend a lot of time with your putting. Once you feel confident in making 25 foot putts, you can start running the 50 foot putts without worrying about the return putt. Always remember this game is about having fun.

Arava, back surgery, bone growth stimulator, Carla Kienast, Euflexxa, Medical, Orencia, rheumatoid arthritis
In addition to the rheumatologist visit mentioned in my previous post, I had visits with my back surgeon, my knee surgeon, and my dentist. I'll forego any discussions of the dentist as it was a routine, six-month clean and check and other than the discomfort of laying in a dentist's chair for an hour while in a back brace, there's not much to report.
I already reported some of the information from my rheumatologist visit. We decided to keep me on Orencia and 20 mg. leflunomide (Arava). We may cut back to 10 mg. of leflunomide once things get back to "normal" after the back surgery. One of the issues I've been having due to my back surgery is bursitis in my right hip from so much time resting in bed. It has been interfering with my ability to sleep. She had injected my left hip for the same reason before surgery and so she was agreeable to taking care of the right hip during this visit. It worked great and I've been getting a decent night's sleep without drugs the last several nights since then.
The visit to the back surgeon went swimmingly. I had an X-ray beforehand and he was impressed that I'm already showing bone growth in the fusion area. They were amazed that I've been up driving and working and not on pain medication. I am confined to this blasted brace until the end of July, although starting mid-June (which isn't that far off), I can start weaning myself out of it. That will definitely be a relief. I can also now lift up to 15 lbs. and can increase the length and types of exercises I can do. (I guess anything more than nothing would be an increase, wouldn't it?????)
I also have to continue to use my bone growth stimulator once a day for three more months. As you can see from the picture to the left, this thing looks like a steering wheel. It straps to my back on a belt and the little control box turns it on for 30 minutes at a time. I know that my husband secretly wants to drive me around the house like a kiddie car every time I put it on. You can't tell that it's working because you can't feel anything. But my insurance company paid thousands of dollars for it (I know, can you believe it?), so I'm determined to get whatever value there is out of it although I have to admit that I do have some trepidation of having electromagnet waves so close to things like my kidneys and liver and other important bits.
Finally, I had the follow-up with my knee guy after the Euflexxa injections. The injections have worked wonders. On the day of the appointment, I walked from one end of the enormous medical campus to the far side where his office is and back again to my car. This is a far cry from me hardly being able to walk across the parking lot before the injections. So he and I are both really, really pleased. The big question is, what's next? Eventually the knee will have to be replaced. It's a question of whether I do it this year or perhaps do another round of Euflexxa injections when this past one wears off. On one hand, it will cost me thousands of dollars less this year because I've already met all my deductibles. On the other hand, after this back surgery, I'm not sure I'm up for any more repair work on my body in the near future. My doctor is agreeable to whatever course of action I want to take. I'll just have to think about it.
So basically all things are good. No cavities, healing well, doing well, and RA has generally stayed at bay. I hope your life is also going well. Thanks for checking in.

Harbor Healthcare Systems provides new study hall for Girls' Haven
The young ladies of Girls' Haven are celebrating after receiving a welcome gift from Harbor Healthcare Systems in the form of a brand new study room.
The official ribbon cutting ceremony for the new study room was March 22 at 1 p.m. at the facility locted on Fannin Street in Beaumont. The recently renovated room features fresh paint, new computers with printers, lovely decorations and comfortable furniture. This room was designed to offer the residents a safe and practical environment for their studies and homework.
Girls' Haven of Beaumont is a residential operation that aspires to turn tragedy into triumph by providing a safe, nurturing environment for girls affected by physical, sexual or emotional abuse, neglect, abandonment, exploitation or severe family dysfunction. Harbor Healthcare donated all funds for the renovation and completion of the room, and its staff volunteered time to assemble the furniture, paint and remodel the room, and install the computer equipment.
"We love the people of this community," explained Brenna Rodriguez, director of business development for Harbor Healthcare. "Harbor has been blessed to grow so quickly, and we are always looking for ways to give back, regardless if the people in need are outside the scope of what we do. Girls' Haven has a tremendous impact on our community, and Harbor wants to help amplify it."
"The room just looks awesome," exclaimed Alice Teeler, Girls' Haven executive director. "The Harbor people were just great. They had a vested interest in our girls and genuinely wanted to help them succeed. The kids are ecstatic. Having this environment and the new equipment will aid their growth, and we are thankful for that. Our desire here at Girls' Haven is just to take care of people, and it's an incredible thing when you develop a kinship with another company that shares your values and views in ministering to others."
"I love giving back," Rodriguez asserted. "Harbor loves giving back. It's awesome to be with a company that helps foster that belief, but most importantly, that wants to legitimately help without benefit to itself. We all need to step up. We can change the world if more and more people decided to have an impact and change one life at a time. Hopefully this philosophy won't be just taught, but also caught. … Maybe one day, one of the girls will see what someone else has done, and then they too will decide to make a difference for someone else."
"My girls deserve this," Teeler said at the ribbon-cutting event.
Beaumont Mayor Becky Ames cut the ribbon at the ceremony and thanked Harbor Healthcare Systems for their contribution to Girls' Haven. Ames often appears at Girls' Haven events and said the organization holds a dear place in her heart.
"I am happy to be here," Ames said at the gathering. "The study room turned out great!"
Girls' Haven holds many annual fundraisers and will be hosting a golf tournament in May. To help or get involved, visit www.girlshaveninc.org or call (409) 832-6223. To visit Harbor Healthcare Systems, click on www.harborhcs.com or call (409) 813-2332.

The "No Budget, No Pay" bill passed the Senate Thursday afternoon, sending the measure to the President's desk for a final signature.
The bill suspends the debt ceiling until May 18 and contains a measure that cuts off pay for member of Congress in the event that the Senate does not produce a budget that the House approves.
However, the title of the legislation is misleading.
Members of Congress will get paid— members earn $174,000 per year, or $348,000 per term — regardless of whether they pass a budget. They just might not get their paychecks right away.
The first thing that has to happen is that both the House and the Senate need to each pass a budget. This is easy for the House, which has already passed the Paul Ryan budget and is working on an updated version now. The onus, as intended, is on the Senate to produce their own budget.
Next, select Senators and Representatives start negotiating, with the goal of reconciling the two plans into a mutually-agreed upon conference report, which must then be passed by both chambers.
This is called a concurrent resolution, and sets the levels of appropriation bills for the budgetary year. It's not a law for the President to sign, just a negotiated, binding agreement over what appropriations bills will eventually be sent to the President.
If this occurs prior to April 15, then everybody will get their regular paychecks.
If Congress doesn't agree to a concurrent resolution on the 2014 budget by April 15, the payroll administrators of the House and Senate will deposit all paychecks into an escrow account.
If Congress agrees on the concurrent resolution sometime after April 16, members get the lump sum payment of all their paychecks put into escrow after the budget deadline.
If Congress doesn't agree to the concurrent resolution at any point during the 113th Congress, then members will not get paid until the last day of the Congress, in late 2014 or early 2015. At that point, each member will get the rest of their $348,000 in a lump sum.

Applying Communication
|Introduction | Equivalent Expressions | Problem Reflection | Classroom Practice | Communication in Action | Classroom Checklist | Your Journal
In the prior sections, you observed and explored the Communication Standard while first observing students and then solving problems involving geometric shapes and area. You also reflected on ways to help young children develop their communication skills. Now that you are familiar with the Standard and some of its aspects, we'd like you to apply it. We will see how Flo Pearson, a teacher of a first/second-grade class, helps her students investigate the concepts of addition and subtraction by writing and sharing story problems that result in a sum or difference of 20. As they work on this task, students use a variety of forms of communication, which helps them connect their everyday language and experiences to the mathematical language and symbolism of the operations.
How does communication fit into this picture? Before we view the students' work, consider a problem similar to the task that Flo Pearson sets for her students.

2011 State of Logistics: Truckload
Tight capacity, more regulation, major concerns
in the NewsHow to Manage Increasing Labeling Demands GreyOrange partners with eight supply chain industry leaders in the United States Toyota Logistic Design Competition 2020 open to U.S. students for first time Millwood Cudahy operations installs new pallet repair line Peak season vs. baseball season More News
The truckload (TL) sector, which supplies some 95 percent of capacity in the $403 billion for-hire intercity trucking industry, is enjoying a renaissance after three years of financial doldrums.
Profitability is up at the major truckload carriers. When analysts consider top TL carriers among the publicly held operations, names like Swift Transportation, Werner Enterprises, U.S. Xpress, J.B. Hunt, Knight Transportation, and Celadon Group often top their recommendations.
"The overall health of the truckload sector has improved year over year," says Mark Rourke, president of truckload services for privately held Schneider National. "We're continuing to expand our regional truckload business footprint as well as bring new transportation solutions to the marketplace."
As the latest data shows, the TL carriers have enjoyed a higher weighted-average operating margin for the most recent quarters than their colleagues in the less-than-truckload sector. Overall, TL carriers have enjoyed a 4.5 percent average increase in margins in the first quarter of 2011, compared with a 2.3 percent decline among LTL carriers surveyed by SJ Consulting, a leading trucking analyst firm.

"Why is that? They all use the same trucks. They all pay the same for fuel. They all use the same drivers," remarks Satish Jindel, principal of the firm. The answer lies in the nimbleness of the non-union TL carriers. They're able to shed capacity faster than LTL carriers, which often have complex hub-and-spoke terminal networks requiring significantly more overhead than TL carriers, which go point-to-point with their loads.
But even with those inherent advantages, many TL carriers are concerned about possible threats to capacity and costs of doing business.
An increase in container ship transloading also could affect domestic capacity, according to some intermodal experts and analysts. A global container shortage is causing some ocean carriers to transload an increasing percentage of their shipments at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.
This, in turn, is causing a spike in long-haul, over-the-road freight demand for TL carriers out of Southern California. This would in turn put further pressure on capacity, which is excellent for major players in the TL market such as Hunt, Swift, and Celadon, but could have an adverse effect on overall TL capacity, executives say privately.
Then there's the unclear regulatory environment for trucking. The Obama administration, through its Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, is proposing what could be a double whammy through stricter enforcement of driver standards and a potential reduction of driving hours for those drivers who do survive the tougher government scrutiny.
The government's Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program could disqualify as many as 150,000 drivers. Potentially, a one-hour reduction in driving limits could exacerbate capacity. Until that rule is proposed later this year, the entire TL sector is on pins and needles.
"Regulations continue to provide uncertainty for carriers and shippers alike," Schneider's Rourke says. "The effects of CSA on driver capacity are already being felt."

About the department
Due to the interdisciplinary cooperation of highly professional doctors, the patients of the Department of Orthopedics under the direction of Prof. Dr. med. David Pfander have a dual benefit. Here are offered both conservative (non-surgical) treatments and complex operations, mostly minimally invasive – laparoscopic surgery.
The treatment concepts are based on a comprehensive approach: starting from the use of more conservative methods and up to physiotherapeutic procedures just the next day after the surgery. The main focus of the Department of Orthopedics at the Hospital Neuwerk "Maria von den Aposteln" under the direction of Prof. Dr. med. David Pfander is joint replacement surgery (endoprosthetic replacement), especially that of hip and knee. Only in this field there are annually performed over 800 operations.
Other focuses of the Department of Orthopedics at the Hospital Neuwerk "Maria von den Aposteln" under the direction of Prof. Dr. med. David Pfander include spine surgery, hand and foot surgery and arthroscopic surgery (endoscopic joint surgery) knee, shoulder, hip and ankle. The total number of operations performed here makes up about 1,600 a year.
Due to a close collaboration with the Department of Pediatrics, here are treated common orthopedic diseases in children. These include hip joint development disorders, treatment of misaligned foot in children. Moreover, the range of services also covers non-surgical treatment of scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and other spinal diseases.
It is justly considered that congenital and acquired bone and joint diseases can be treated in the early stages. Thus, the percentage of severe diseases in adults is reduced.
