MathRx® Programs in Houston Central
Brain Training for a Brighter Future
LearningRx offers a MathRx program in Houston Central designed to build the underlying cognitive skills required to effectively and efficiently learn mathematical concepts, perform mathematical calculations, and solve problems. While these exercises are typically not academic, many drills focus on developing numerical fluency. This makes them very helpful, especially since adults and children with poor executive function, dyscalculia, and other severe math difficulties often struggle due to deficiencies in this core mathematical skill area.
We train numerical fluency and executive functioning skills through a number of drills that increase in difficulty, improving core cognitive components of efficient math performance, such as:
- Fluency planning problem-solving visualization
- Memory (visual, iterative, procedural, and working) numerical and fractional
- Reasoning and logic
- Inductive reasoning
- Deductive reasoning
- Comprehension
- Attention
It's important to note that every exercise incorporates a higher-level planning component in addition to many of these elements. Research shows that clients who have superior planning functions also have the ability to master mathematical concepts with far greater ease.
How to Start Your Cognitive Skills Training
If you or someone you love struggles with dyscalculia or other math-related challenges, take the first step toward overcoming learning struggles with our online brain quiz. This free, three-minute quiz will show you what you struggle with and why they are affecting your learning process. If you want to address these challenges further, we invite you to schedule a Brain Skills Assessment at LearningRx - Houston Central. Our brain trainers look forward to learning more about your brain and will use that information to design a program that accommodates your unique needs to ensure maximum results. The Assessment only takes about an hour to complete and is reasonably priced.

American who played role in deadly Mumbai attack sentenced to 35 years
CHICAGO – Minutes before an American was sentenced to 35 years in prison for helping plan an attack on Mumbai, India, one of his victims tearfully pleaded for a harsh punishment despite the terrorist plotter's widespread cooperation with U.S. investigators following his arrest.
David Coleman Headley, 52, shifted uncomfortably in a gray tracksuit and kept his eyes fixed on the Chicago courtroom floor Thursday as he listened to an American children's author describe the violent chaos during her 2008 trip to India.
Bullets flew past her check and panicked diners dived under tables as gunmen burst into a hotel restaurant, executing people one by one, said Linda Ragsdale, almost shouting as she stood just a few feet from Headley during the sentencing hearing.
"I know the sweet sickening smell of gunfire and blood," said Ragsdale, 53, of Nashville, Tenn., who was shot through the chest -- the bullet passing along her spine and then out her thigh. "I know what a bullet can do to every part of the human body ... These are things I never needed to know, never needed to experience."
She did not comment later the judge imposed the sentence, but others victimized by the attack that has been called India's 9/11 said they were disturbed and upset that Headley did not get the maximum life sentence he faced. With credit for good behavior, he could walk out of prison before he turns 80.
"He lost his right to live life as a free man. He doesn't deserve to be let out. He gave up that right when he played a role in the attack," said Kia Scherr, whose husband Alan Scherr and 13-year-old daughter, Naomi, were at the same table as Ragsdale and died.
It was prosecutors who pressed for leniency, saying they wanted Headley to get no more than 35 years as credit for his almost immediate cooperation after his 2009 arrest and providing intelligence about terror networks, including the Pakistani-based group that mounted the attack. Rewarding Headley with the hope of at least a few years of freedom, the said, would encourage future suspects in terrorist cases to spill their secrets.
A somber Judge Harry Leinenweber sounded reluctant about imposing the lesser sentence, saying the Mumbai assault was so unfathomable and terrifying that, "perhaps the lucky ones were the ones who didn't survive."
"I don't have any faith in Mr. Headley when he says he's a changed person and believes in the American way of life," he said.
Ragsdale, the only victim to address the court during Thursday's hearing, also read a text message from Kia Scherr to the judge, in which Scherr implored the court not to give Headley less than life in prison and asserting that anything less "would be an appalling dishonor."
The attack heightened the strain in a historically antagonistic relationship between India and Pakistan, which have fought three major wars. Indian officials accuse Pakistani intelligence of helping to plan the assault -- an allegation Pakistan denies.
It was Headley's meticulous scouting missions that helped make the assault by 10 gunmen from a Pakistani-based militant group on multiple targets in Mumbai so deadly. TV cameras captured much of the three-day rampage that including multiple targets, including the landmark Taj Mahal Hotel.
Ragsdale painted a detailed picture of the gory scene as she huddled under the table with Scherr's husband Alan and her daughter, Naomi. After the initial gunfire, they were all still alive, and she said she would have thrown her body across the teen to shield her.
"That moment still haunts me," she said, crying, as she looked straight at Headley. She said she passed out from her injuries under the table and "awoke to hear Naomi take her last breath."
Headley showed no emotion when the sentence was announced. Earlier, when the judge asked if him if he wanted to address the court, he leaned forward and said politely, "No your honor, I expressed everything in the letter I wrote you."
That letter was not read in court, but defense attorney Robert Seeder -- without offering specifics -- told reporters afterward that Headley used the note to explain "what led him to this and how sorry he was."
Prosecutors say Headley, who was born in the U.S. to a Pakistani father and American mother, was motivated in part by his hatred of India going back to his childhood. He changed his birth name from Daood Gilani in 2006 so he could travel to and from India more easily to do reconnaissance without raising suspicions.
He never pulled a trigger in the attack by the Pakistani-based militant group, Lashkar-e-Taiba, but he videotaped and mapped targets for the gunmen.
Prosecutors also have praised Headley for testifying against Tahawwur Rana, the Chicago businessman convicted of providing aid to Lashkar and backing a failed plot to attack a Danish newspaper for publishing depictions of the Prophet Muhammad. Rana, sentenced last week to 14 years in prison, claimed his friend Headley duped him.
Prosecutors have recounted only in broad terms how Headley has shed light on the leadership, structure and possible targets of Lashkar-e-Taiba, which was believed to have ties to the Pakistani intelligence agency known as ISI. Headley has said his ISI contact was a "Major Iqbal," who was named in the indictment that charged Headley.
The attackers arrived by boat on Nov. 26, 2008, carrying grenades and automatic weapons, and fanned out to hit multiple targets, crowded train station, a Jewish center and the hotel.
For his cooperation and guilty plea, Headley secured both a promise that he would not face the death penalty and would not be extradited to India. Late last year, India secretly hanged the lone gunman who survived the Mumbai attack, Mohammed Ajmal Kasab.
The 12 counts Headley pleaded guilty to included conspiracy to commit murder in India and aiding and abetting in the murder of six Americans, who included Americans Alan and Naomi Scherr.
After the attack, Kia Scherr helped start an organization called the One Life Alliance, which seeks to work against terrorism by promoting understanding and respect for the sacredness of life.
She wrote in an email Thursday from Mumbai that she has thrown herself into doing charity work in the city.
"This is how I am surviving this event, which erased life as I knew it," she said.

getting in tune
A novel by Roger L. Trott
Special thanks to King Joe (Ken Bogdan, Bill O'Leary,
Roger Trott, and Duane Larson) for use of "Glory."
Punk is coming—but it's not here yet...
It's the fall of 1976, and 20-year-old guitarist Daniel Travers's life is a mess. His band, the Killjoys, is essentially going nowhere; the pills he's popping are making him crazy; and the voices banging around his head have him convinced that he's a bleedin' quadropheniac. On top of everything, what he calls the Real Me, his true self, has disappeared—and he's lost without it.
Then the phone rings, a new agent offering a weeklong gig at the exotic Mai Tai Hotel, in Puente Harbor, Washington. Told by the agent that Jimi Hendrix and Heart started out at the Mai Tai, Daniel sees the gig as his best chance to get the Killjoys on the road to success—and also to ditch his own troubles.
Getting in Tune is a novel that captures the fire of the rock 'n' roll dream as well as the dream that music can transcend chaos, that it can bring perfection to our daily mess. And for Daniel, it's about finding—as his unlikely guru, the Who's Pete Townshend, whispers to him—the Universal Chord, the perfect set of notes that blesses life with essential harmony.
A book full of the low grit of small-club rock 'n' roll and the high spirit that the music soars upon, Getting in Tune is an exciting read. Step in, can you hear it? The band is tuning up right now. . . .

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (March 28, 2011) – The current U.S. Women's National Team Weekly update released on March 28 includes briefs on U.S. players competing overseas and other team news.

Philosophy is the discipline that takes nothing for granted. Everything that we do and say in our everyday lives is based on certain assumptions about what is good and what is real. The goal of philosophy is to transform these assumptions into questions, so that they cease being thoughtless and become instead thought-provoking. Philosophy takes not even itself for granted, but is instead continually reinterpreting and redefining itself.
Strictly speaking, it is not a "discipline", but rather an art of questioning that
brings into question every "discipline", every body of knowledge that presents itself
as objective and conclusive. While this might give philosophy the appearance of being
"abstract", the opposite is the case. Everyday, in both our actions and judgments,
we distinguish between what is good and what is bad, between what is real and what
is only an appearance or illusion. Philosophy asks: how do we make these distinctions
and on what basis? Philosophy is ultimately a choice between an unexamined life that
passively lets itself be guided by what "people say" and a self-examining life that
chooses instead the freedom of self-determination.
What then does the philosophy major prepare you for? Life! But struggling with the most fundamental and difficult questions human beings can confront also develops skills that serve philosophy majors well in practically any occupation they choose after graduation, the skills of critical reasoning and interpretation, as well as both written and oral expression. Thus, while some philosophy majors pursue the study of philosophy in graduate school and eventually become professors of philosophy, others-and they are the large majority- pursue, and are very successful in careers in business and law, to name only two possibilities. As studies have shown, philosophy majors outperform every other major in entrance exams to business and law schools; including business and government majors! In other words, philosophy is a very practical major in every sense of the word "practical".

This post originally ran just over a year ago, when our favorite (NOW MARRIED!) puck bunny conquered roughly half a dozen soon-to-be professional hockey players. Sadly, there was no similar venture this year (that we know of…). So, while the sports world slows for a few days as we celebrate Bill Pullman's famous Independence Day speech and I stock up on coffee, beer and Haribo Gummy Bears for our Flyers free agency running commentary on Friday, let's relive the beauty and majesty of Princesss Sass, a tradition unlike any other.
Before we delve into the shadowy world of jersey chasing – puck bunnydom, to be specific – let's rewind to an earlier time.
Back in April, during that series in which the Flyers embarrassed the half-assed hockey team from the western end of the state, we introduced you to (our favorite) partially cloaked Penguins fan: Princesss Sass, as she's known on the Interrods.
We first came across Ms. Sass when she posted pictures of some signs she brought to the CONSOL Energy Center to harass the Flyers. We then followed her solo travels to Philadelphia for Game 3 and, as recently as last week, featured her in our special puck slut PSA relating to the announcement of the NHL Draft coming to the City of Brotherly Love in 2014. Sass' appearance in our PSA was to demonstrate the shooting-fish-in-a-barrel nature of the NHL entry draft, an event that sees scores of young, mostly Canadian, teen-something boys flock into a particular city for, up to that point, the biggest weekend of their lives. The weekend when they become men.
We have to give Sass credit. She's taken our heavy ribbing in stride (even though I once called her a slore), almost reveling in her role as the stereotypical puck slut from Shittsburgh. But now she's outdone herself. She has given us an exclusive, meticulously detailed account of her weekend at the NHL Draft – complete with pictures and screenshots – where she warmed up about a sixth of the top 60 picks.
Before last weekend's event, which was held in Pittsburgh, Sass tweeted a preview of her outfit for the draft's first night. For her and other puck bunnies (and I do wish to not be graphic here), the thought of bagging an up-and-comer who might one day drink from Lord Stanley's Cup (or, less ambitiously, bookend Pierre McGuire along an NHL dasher) makes their underoos drippier than a protagonist during the rain scene in a mid-oughts romance flick.*
*Ryan Gosling vociferously objects! "I'm wetter and I look better! And I'm a poet."
You see, hockey players, unlike athletes from the other three major sports, are fairly accessible. For example, if you were a jersey chaser and wanted to fuck LeBron James, you'd likely have to make it through long lines, VIP ropes, possibly a background check, a publicist, some posse and Mike Miller before you ever got near King. Then there's a good chance you'd have to be taken for a test spin (perhaps simultaneously) by a few members of his inner-circle – sexual gatekeepers, if I may – to see if you were up to the task. With satisfactory performance, you might – might – have a chance to score with LeBron.
Conversely, if you wanted to bump baby makers with, say, Jeff Carter, all you'd have to do is wear a revealing tube top to La Costa this Friday night.
It's just… easier to get with hockey players.
At the NHL Draft, it's easiest: puck bunnies want in early and not-even-old-enough-to-shave athletes want their first (or second or third) groupie. It's a perfect balance, this delicate ecosystem of fuck. And that's where we begin our story.
[Note: We've removed players' names from the story and texts. But among those included are five first-rounders, four second-rounders, two sons of former NHLers, and one (now) Flyer. All are 18, or younger.]

|View of Retymno beach from the Hotel balcony
|Many colourful little churches that you can see in all the Greek Islands
Renting a bike is the best recommendation to see Crete, the largest distance from west to east is 60km so you easily could move around the island by bike.
|One more church
|Arrival to the lake
While it was sunny on the beach, between the mountains, the lake had its own micro clima, it was warm and sunny but it also had mist and clouds that made the views very beautiful
|next to the lake we had some quiet beaches with less tourists
|View of the lake
This is a picture from the hotel, we had really nice views, a long beach just opposite. From Rithymnon to Kournas Lake took us 20 minutes by bike.

The main disadvantage of the homework is that it's done at home and the student can ask someone else to do it for him. We can call it the main advantage of the homework because the students have enough time to do it at home. As for me I don't give special hometask to students knowing that most of them copy it and it's a waste of time to check it in class. As a teacher of English I tell my students to use the knowledge they get in class t in life situations( I mean speak English as much as it's possible).
I hope I helped a little. I'd be very happy to hear from you.
Best wishes Harry Smith

text: Updated 2016 Poland is one of the countries that is really thriving in the post-Soviet era. Germany's next-door neighbor is booming in many ways, but there are still old world charms nearly everywhere you go. It's a great time to visit this formerly Eastern country and enjoy its modest prices before they catch up with the far more expensive countries nearby. The cities offer fascinating history, architecture, and culture while the coastline, mountains, and lakes offer plenty in the way of natural beauty.

Sorry for the delay, but here we pick up with Khraden's revalation.
((( Continued )))
World of Warcraft Specific
Sorry for the delay, but here we pick up with Khraden's revalation.
((( Continued )))
Picking up where we last left off, Khraden completes his conversation with Afrasastrasz at Wyrmrest Temple.
Afternoon folks…
I've got a little series coming up that I'd like to share. It isn't a blog on a specific subject, but one of my own writings that I thought I'd toss out there. Maybe let you all get a feel for it, and even toss around some editorial comments.
The story is called "Silent Ice, Raging Fire." It is a compilation of the life of my World of Warcraft Paladin, between the expansions of Wrath of the Lich King and the Cataclysm. It has a couple of twists and turns, and even a little love story attached.
It is a pretty rough draft. I've only gone over it a couple times, and made changes here and there, but haven't really proofread it fully yet. I'm pretty sure that the chronology should be in place, but any comments are welcome.
We'll start it, after the break…
Evening all…
Long time no see. I've had the beta for a while now, gotten to experience some of the new goodies coming to us in September (25th) but not as much as I could have. Been busy around the Lionbearer household.
First up, a little side project. I signed up to participate in the [Trans]mogolympics. It was randomly decided that I would represent the Mag'har. It made for a fun little project to work on. I've been told that I can display my flagbearer, but nothing more… so here he is.
On that note, I've completed all of the transmog outfits, and will be posting them here once the competition is underway. Check out the [Trans]mogolympics site over at Arcane Wordsmith for more information.
On a completely different subject, my wife and I have been busy at work on opening a bake shop, aptly named "Happy Cake." She's acquired a building and has been working day and night on getting it ready for a grand opening. I truly wish that there was more that I could do to help out, but my day job has otherwise taken up my time. She's really excited, and I am ecstatic and so proud of her working on making a dream come true. It's cost a pretty penny, but we're sure it'll be successful. Fortunately we didn't have to pay to have a website built… cause I do that for a living, haha (that'll be coming soon as well). To top it off, my oldest will be turning 5 next month, so we'll have a really busy year coming up.
I'm not sure if you all remember me mentioning that I was working on a sidestory/RP/fanfic pertaining to my own characters (in fact several). Well, I finished one of them, it's a little over 25 pages long. It's a very rough draft, and I'm sure has all kinds of errors all over it, but I want to share it with you all.
I'm going to start a series of posts that include about 5 pages a piece. It'll be posted here on this blog, as well as my other Horizon's Blade writing blog.
I hope to see you all on September 25th, God willing, I'll be joining you on the journey into the Mists of Pandaria.
It's been a while. I always say that lately it seems.
Anyway, a good bit has happened since I last left something of substance here. Including getting a chance to got o Blizzcon and seeing the new Mists of Pandaria in person, hitting up the demo, and watching the class panels.
A lot has already been written across the WoW blogosphere, so I'll try not to repeat too much of it. Instead here are some interesting upcoming changes that I have noticed, and think will keep me playing even into the next expansion.
First up… Pandaren, love them or hate them, they will still have a place in my heart. I remember seeing a lot of artwork by Samwise Didier, one of the penultimate WoW artists on the Blizzard staff, and its focus on the pandaren. I may be mistaken, but I believe that he may have been the creator of the race in the first place. Of course letting the story tellers move it along beyond his art, I still leave him at the top of that group.
There are those who still think that the Pandaren were some "April Fool's Joke," yet those also ignore anything you say debunking this, and talk mean to their mothers.
The Pandaren have been around since Warcraft III, in fact Chen Stormstout assisted Rexxar in taking the first steps into a new Horde, only to take a separate path, not to be seen again.
I guess the only other reason that I am a big fan of the Pandaren is the Asian influence that inspires the art. I have been a HUGE fan of Chinese and Japanese art since I was in 8th grade (I'll even have a hipster moment and say that I was a fan of Japanese art and culture before it was cool). From what I saw at Blizzcon, the environment and artwork of this new expansion is going to be amazing. An entire continent, and even a giant turtle (though I do think of it as a bit silly, but just imagine the size of a lot of things in WoW), covered in beautiful artwork, both architectual, and natural. I thought that I was impressed when I first saw Darnassus when I began playing WoW some 5-6 years ago, but it can't even light a candle to what I saw in Pandaria.
Well, enough of my babbling, onto another subject. Next up, is the new talent trees. N0w, most of you have already heard of or seen the new trees, and their new "choice" mechanic every 15 levels. It is a huge step away from the 71 talents to choose from back in the old vanilla days. Despite a lot of folks disliking the new path that Blizzard is taking, I am actually a fan of it. Most core abilities are going to be simply given to you, just because you are a specific class/specification combination. I was excited about how they did this initially with Cataclysm, but this goes even further. I guess it is an over simplification of the abilities system, and I am not that big of a fan of not being able to actually hit up your trainer to learn new abilities. However, will be a nice improvement when you have a ton of alts, though that isn't everybody.
The choices that are available though, seem to fit into their "fun talents" methodology that they have been working towards. It's just a big change, and change is scary to some people. I am personally a fan of it, as there are a lot of abilities that I have always wanted to have on my Holy Paladin, that I just couldn't get because it was only available to other specializations. (Hello Repentance, I can't help it… I'm a supporting type character.) This is going to change come MoP. Now, I do not deny that the EJ guys will eventually find the "right" build, and begin the cookie cutter cycle again; however, I do not believe that it will be a simply cookie cutter build like it used to be. Instead it will end up being a fight-by-fight type of build, where the choices made are depenedant on the situations that you face. This will provide a nice little bit of complexity, and will separate the good players from the great players.
Alright, lastly, though it's coming out before Mists of Pandaria (in fact it should be released in patch 4.3) is Transmogrification/Void Storage. I literally jumped for joy… ok I didn't jump, but I was excited, when I read about this. Do you remember me writing about this a while back. Yeah, I'm a bit of a hoarder, and I have lots and lots and lots and lots of stuff in my bank, most of it I will never actually wear because of the stats… but now… oooohhhh now, I will have a hayday with transmogrification. I will be a very poor Pally soon. I have already hit several old instances to scrounge up old gear, gear that I can almost not fit into my bags or my fully sacked bank… all of them Soulbound. How about you? Are you going to be having fun with the new Transmogrifications?
Well, I know it was a rambling hodge podge of topics, but hey, it's been a while. And with limited resources, you gotta do what you can. Hope to see y'all again.
Yes… I've REALLY been slacking. Lots of work, sickness in the family. A close friend of mine currently moments away from passing away (car accident). Not a lot of time to update here. But I hope to change that. Sorry folks, if there are any of you left. I'm coming back… I promise.
I really liked this week's shared topic. I've kind of slacked a bit lately, on posting in general, AND in keeping up with shared topics from "Blog Azeroth". But thought I'd hit this one up for fun.
In a single word: "sorta". Really depends on which alts. I have actually written a 17 chapter fanfic about how my Paladin Khraden got to his current position (well at the time, just entering Wrath). This didn't really include a lot of my other alts; however did include some of my brother's characters, who just happen to be related to my alts.
So, here's the tree:
So, in short, yes, they for the most part have met each other (at least the Alliance Side) at one time or another; be it by blood relation, marriage, or fellow soldiers and family friends.
This was really a fun subject to tackle. Sorry for such a short post, but I guess the chart itself does most of the talking. It kind of made me realize how much RP I really do, though not in game. It's something that I guess can be considered a guilty pleasure.

The landscape of health insurance in Michigan includes many avenues through which individuals and families may buy health care insurance plans. Residents without access to employer-sponsored coverage can shop for health care plans in the private marketplace and through the federal marketplace exchange. Those who are eligible may apply for public health plans such as Medicaid and CHIP.
HealthCare.org offers free health insurance quotes for Obamacare individual insurance plans, and also provides access to short term health insurance, small employer health plans and Medicaid information.
Michigan and the Affordable Care Act
When the Affordable Care Act took effect and required most Americans to buy health insurance coverage, Michigan elected to utilize the federal marketplace, also known as the federal health exchange. When residents enroll in ACA-compliant health plans sold through the health insurance exchange, they can apply for income-based financial assistance that helps lower their monthly health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket expenses for healthcare.
Only marketplace plans are eligible for income-based premium tax credits and cost-sharing subsidies. Individuals and families can find both marketplace, on-exchange plans and private, off-exchange plans at HealthCare.org. For those who qualify for financial assistance, HealthCare.org will connect them to the right exchange to complete their enrollment.
The Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) provides a way for employers with 50 or fewer full-time employees to offer healthcare benefits that meet federal health insurance standards.
Medicaid expansion in Michigan
Michigan is one of many states to have expanded Medicaid to single, low-income adults since Obamacare took effect. Residents that want to apply for Medicaid must meet certain eligibility criteria set by the state.
Michigan CHIP
Michigan Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) provides low-cost health insurance for eligible children.
Get free quotes on Michigan health insurance plans from leading companies, and apply for health care coverage directly online.

According to RAO's deputy general director for strategy and investments, Alexey Kaplun, the projects could be built in the Primorsky Territory, Sakhalin, Kamchatka and Khabarovsk Krai, all in eastern Russia.
There are currently energy supply issues in these regions. Although they are rich in oil and gas, much of this is exported.
So far, the company has already signed agreements of cooperation with Japanese companies Mitsui & Co and Komaihaltec to build a project in Ust-Kamchatsk, a rural location on the eastern shore of the Kamchatka Peninsula at the mouth of the Kamchatka River.
RAO is also in talks with wind manufacturers from France, Denmark and Germany about supplying the projects, Kaplun said.
The company plans to provide the majority of funds for the project from its own resources, with the rest provided by banks in the form of loans.
RAO has already started talks with several banks, in particular state-owned Vnesheconombank, about project funding, the company said.

Grilled Lamb Sandwiches
Guy Fieri creates his ultimate lamb sandwich.
- 1/2 tablespoon capers
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 cups plain unsweetened yogurt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- One 3 to 4-pound leg of lamb, butterflied
- 1 sourdough baguette (use 2 if serving 8)
- Harissa Mayo, for serving, recipe follows
- Quick Pickled Sweet Cucumbers, for serving, recipe follows
Make the marinade by finely mincing the capers, oregano and garlic together. Add to a small bowl along with the yogurt, olive oil, lemon zest and some salt and pepper, stirring until well combined. Place the lamb in a large resealable bag and pour in the yogurt marinade. Mix it around so the lamb is completely coated all over. Squeeze out any air, reseal the bag and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
When the lamb is marinated, remove it from the bag and wipe off any excess with paper towels. Unfold the lamb, drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle well with salt and pepper on both sides; this will help form a nice crust. Grill for about 15 minutes, and then flip once and cook until cooked through and you have some color on the lamb, another 12 to 15 minutes on the second side. When done, remove from the grill, tent with foil and let rest for 10 to 12 minutes before carving across the grain into thin slices.
Take the baguette and split horizontally lengthwise so you have long halves. Place on the grill to warm the bread through and get slightly crisp, about 2 minutes per side.
To assemble the sandwiches, smear the bread with Harissa Mayo, stack with slices of lamb and Quick Pickled Sweet Cucumbers. Place the top of the baguette on and slice the sandwich into quarters.

Europe's Poorest? Look North
ECB Survey Puts Southerners on Top in Household Wealth, Germans Near Bottom
FRANKFURT—German households are among the poorest—on paper, at least—in the euro zone, according to a study by the European Central Bank that adds a new twist to the debate over how far taxpayers in Northern Europe should go to support weaker countries.
The ECB's findings, released Tuesday, don't give the full picture of a society's living standards, which are affected by things like social protection and infrastructure as well. It also is based primarily on data from 2009 and 2010—early days in the still-festering euro crisis.
Most significantly, the report doesn't adjust for differing rates of homeownership, which is particularly low in Germany.
Nevertheless, the report offers a reminder that citizens in some of the countries hardest-hit by Europe's debt crisis aren't as bad off as many believe.
The question of how much taxpayer money should be put up to bail out governments in Greece, Cyprus and Portugal tops the political agenda in Germany, Europe's biggest economy and financial backer.
The ECB's findings could encourage efforts to further involve the private sector in any future government rescues by imposing wealth taxes or losses on large bank deposits, which would reduce the price tag for Germany and others, analysts said.
The figures "clearly give more weight for bail-ins" of the private sector in countries that need assistance, said Carsten Brzeski, an economist at ING Bank in Brussels.
The report, compiled through a survey of over 60,000 households across the euro zone, shows a dichotomy between cash-strapped governments and a rich citizenry, as high private-sector wealth didn't prevent governments in Southern Europe from racking up large debts.
By one ECB measure of typical households, Germany is the poorest country in the euro bloc, behind even Slovakia and Portugal. A number of factors appear to have skewed the results, such as the emphasis on homeownership, household size and small-business ownership that favors countries in Southern Europe.
Income-based measures of well-being put Germany on stronger footing compared with its southern peers.
Figures released by the European Statistics Agency last month, for example, showed gross domestic product per person—a measure of income—in Germany was €29,000, or 119% of the EU average during 2010.
That compared with 87% in Greece, 101% in Italy and 99% in Spain. Of the 41 regions with a GDP per capita above 125% of the average, eight were in Germany.
Not surprisingly, households in Luxembourg topped the ECB study, with average net wealth of over €700,000 in 2010, the last year for which data are available.
But those in Cyprus were second, with average net wealth of around €670,000. Last month, the government there got a €10 billion ($13 billion) rescue from the European Union and International Monetary Fund. As part of that bailout, large depositors in the biggest Cypriot banks face significant losses.
German households had on average just under €200,000 in net wealth. The figure was slightly lower in Finland and the Netherlands, where public opposition to bailouts of Southern Europe also runs high.
The median, or midpoint, of German households had just over €50,000 in wealth, the lowest in the euro zone. The median in Greece, was twice that, at €102,000, and five times as high as in Cyprus at nearly €270,000.
Median figures strip out the extremes of wealth and poverty, and are a better reflection of a typical, middle-class household.
There are additional factors, however, that inflated asset valuations in Southern Europe.
In Germany, mortgage interest isn't treated as favorably for taxes as it is in other parts of Europe. In addition, German banks typically require large down payments, depressing home-buying in favor of renting.
"The role of homeownership is sizable," the ECB said in its 113-page report.
The survey data also don't reflect the decline in the prices of homes and other assets over the past three years. Respondents estimated the value of their homes for the survey, so prices may have differed from the actual market value. Households are typically larger in Southern Europe than in Germany, an added boost to their assets.
And the report also doesn't fully incorporate certain pay-as-you-go pension programs that are typically used in Germany.
Still, the report was the ECB's first attempt to provide comparable wealth statistics across the 17-member euro zone. It defined wealth as total assets—including real estate, vehicles, bank deposits, investments and pensions—minus liabilities such as outstanding mortgages, credit-card debt and other loans.

"Those Angry Days: Roosevelt, Lindbergh, and America's Fight Over World War II, 1939-1941" (Random House), by Lynne Olson
The bitter feelings that divided the nation during the Vietnam buildup and the Iraq invasion have become fading memories. But far fewer Americans still recall the even more passionate debate over our stance toward Nazi Germany during the first two years of World War II.
That tumultuous time between the invasion of Poland and the attack on Pearl Harbor gave rise to a conflict at home that pitted isolationists against interventionists. Larger-than-life figures, from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to aviator Charles Lindbergh, were leading players in that ferocious battle in which the stakes couldn't have been higher.
In "Those Angry Days," journalist-turned-historian Lynne Olson captures that period in a fast-moving, highly readable narrative punctuated by high drama. It's an ideal complement to her previous books about Britain's Tory rebels who brought Winston Churchill to power and Americans who assisted England while it stood alone against a triumphant Germany.
The question of whether to intervene on Britain's behalf, and even to amend neutrality laws by shipping vitally needed supplies to the beleaguered nation, was one that divided families and friends.
Olson presents as a prime example the poignant story of celebrated author Anne Morrow Lindbergh, who was caught between her husband's leadership of the campaign to keep America out of the war and the efforts of her mother and sister on behalf of intervention.
Roosevelt, according to the author, was overly cautious and hesitant, preferring to follow public opinion rather than lead it. "He was intimidated by congressional isolationists, whose strength he tended to exaggerate, and was loath to challenge them," Olson writes.
Pioneering a tactic that would be used by subsequent presidents, Roosevelt sought to discredit his opponents by questioning their patriotism and went on to enlist the FBI to wiretap their phones and seek derogatory information that could be used against them.
One figure who stands tall is Republican Wendell Willkie, whose break with his party's isolationism strengthened his bid for president. The author conveys the excitement of the 1940 convention that chose Willkie as the unlikely GOP nominee and the campaign that ended with FDR's election to an unprecedented third term.
The book is filled with profiles of fascinating figures on both sides of the debate: syndicated newspaper columnist Dorothy Thompson, a leading voice for intervention; Burton Wheeler, a progressive Democrat who broke with Roosevelt over the war and led the isolationist cause in the Senate; and British ambassador Lord Lothian, who promoted support for his country and helped get the president to devise the Lend-Lease program that kept Britain afloat.
Arrayed against the interventionists were many high-ranking military officers and the America First movement, whose anti-Semitic strains came to the surface in a Lindbergh speech that left him discredited among many Americans who once glorified him.
The fight over intervention mobilized the public to take part in the debate and, in the end, helped to educate Americans about the need to prepare for entry into the war. "It was a robust, if tumultuous, example of democracy in action," Olson writes.
"Those Angry Days" is popular history at its most riveting, detailing what the author rightfully characterizes as "a brutal, no-holds-barred battle for the soul of the nation." It is sure to captivate readers seeking a deeper understanding of how public opinion gradually shifted as America moved from bystander to combatant in the war to preserve democracy.

EPA inks pair of settlements with Department of Energy and contractors over Hanford asbestos handling violations
Release Date: 04/03/2014
Contact Information: Mark MacIntyre/EPA-Seattle email@example.com
(Seattle, WA – April 2, 2014) The U.S. EPA has signed a pair of consent agreements with the U.S. Department of Energy and two contractors to resolve alleged violations of federal asbestos handling regulations at the Hanford Site near Richland, Washington.
Today's settlements stem from what EPA determined was improper demolition work performed at the DOE Hanford Site. In August 2012, in response to complaints from Hanford workers, EPA inspected several demolition sites dating back to 2007. Samples collected by EPA showed remaining debris from the demolitions contained regulated asbestos waste.
Work performed at Hanford on behalf of the DOE by contractors Washington Closure Hanford LLC and CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company resulted in penalties of $44,000 and $131,594, respectively. Both contractors agreed to pay all penalties.
According to Ed Kowalski, Director of EPA's Enforcement Office in Seattle, the results of EPA's inspection were clear.
"Asbestos was poorly managed here from start to finish," said Kowalski. "EPA requires all building owners and contractors to remove asbestos before starting any regulated demolition activity which can crush or pulverize asbestos and release dust. At a facility like Hanford, this is especially important to prevent asbestos exposure to anyone working or spending time in the area."
Among EPA's inspection findings:
- DOE and the contractors failed to remove more than 100,000 square feet of asbestos prior to demolishing buildings and structures as required by federal law.
- DOE and the contractors provided incomplete or inaccurate notifications to EPA or the local air agency, Benton Clean Air Authority, as the demolition projects were underway.
- Inspection of a waste storage trailer showed some wastes were not properly contained in leak-tight containers.

"While defeat never sits well, we have a great deal to be proud of tonight," Head coach Matt Potter said. "We came to play and for large parts of the game showed great endeavor and creativity. The difference in the game was the quality in front of the goal and Tennessee showed what good teams do when they are given opportunities."
Tennessee struck early in the contest, with Tori Bailey sending an unassisted shot past OU goalkeeper Kassadie Stade to put the Lady Vols up 1-0 at the 12:17 mark. Both teams dug in for the next 25 minutes, with the Sooners racking up nine shots over the course of the first half. UT managed a response to OU's efforts, with Eckel notching five saves in the first half alone to maintain Tennessee's lead.
The Sooners' lone goal of the evening came on a penalty kick from sophomore Devin Barrett. After a foul in the box late in the first half, Barrett lined up and fired a shot past Eckel to put Oklahoma on the board before halftime.
With the match locked at 1-1, UT picked up its second goal from Caroline Brown to take a 2-1 lead. The score came at the 44:37 mark, just 23 seconds prior to halftime.
The Lady Vols posted their final goal of the evening right out of the gates after halftime, with Cheyenne Spade scoring at the 48:52 mark. The score of 3-1 would stand for the remainder of the match, though OU send several more powerful kicks at Eckel in an attempt to chip away at the lead. Freshman Madison Saliba came especially close for the Sooners, forcing Eckel to make a diving save at the far post at the 62:08 mark.
A total of 11 OU roster members made their collegiate soccer debuts in Knoxville, including the six true freshmen who started for Potter: Madison Kinzer, Shiloh Price, Jemma Cota, Rachel Ressler, Paige Jacobs and Jamie Iurato. Redshirt freshman Stade also made her first career start at goalkeeper for Oklahoma, notching a save in 90 minutes of play. (More at SoonerSports.com)
