COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Feb. 28, 2011) – The current U.S. Women's National Team Weekly update released on Feb. 28 includes briefs on U.S. players competing overseas and other team news.
U.S. WOMEN'S TEAM OPEN TRYOUTS: USA Volleyball had a record 204 athletes participate in open tryouts for the U.S. Women's National Team, U.S. Women's National A2 Program and U.S. Women's Junior National Team in sessions held Feb. 25-27 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center (USOTC) in Colorado Springs, Colo. Despite the record shattering tryout participants – previous record was 174 athletes taking part in the 2010 tryouts – the level of play on the court did not suffer. "I thought this was by far the best Open Tryouts we have ever had for the U.S. Women's National Team pipeline program," USA Volleyball Managing Director of High Performance Tom Pingel said. "It was the best overall in regards to the technical level of the players and the depth on the court." The U.S. Women's National Team coaching staff – including head coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) and assistant coaches Karch Kiraly (San Clemente, Calif.) and Paula Weishoff (Irvine, Calif.) – led the evaluation oversight process. According to McCutcheon, the tryouts this weekend were a success. "Overall, I am very happy with the tryouts this weekend," McCutcheon said. "We had a great group of athletes on the court, and our court coaches and stat crew did well in evaluating the talent. This was a good opportunity for the players to show what they could do." For the U.S. Women's National Team Open Tryouts home page that includes the full recap of the event, 748 photos in seven image galleries and feature stories on the participants, click here.

Enterprise middleware player WSO2 has readied its StratosLive Java Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for market on the Google Apps Marketplace this month. With an emphasis on service-oriented architecture and composite application development, the product runs on the company's own cloud middleware platform and is intended to give developers the option to provision from more than a dozen middleware services and pay only for what they use.
From its first iteration in 2011, StratosLive has featured Google Apps integration, meaning that administrators can automatically link Google Apps user directories into the platform. This enables OpenID single sign-on using an authorized Google Apps user name and password. Administrators can allow users to directly access WSO2 StratosLive from Google Gmail. Also, the data services functionality in WSO2 StratosLive allows data stored in documents, such as Google Spreadsheets, to be exposed as web services within an SOA.
According to WSO2, StratosLive gives developers access to a complete Java middleware PaaS. It provides messaging, data, business, and presentation services, as well as common identity, security, governance, monitoring, and management services with a checkbox GUI for configuring and managing services.
Jonathan Marsh, WSO2 vice president of business development and product design, said that WSO2 StratosLive is powered by the WSO2 Stratos software, which shares the same code base as the 100% open source WSO2 Carbon enterprise middleware platform. "As a result, developers have the freedom to focus on composing high-visibility applications and tuning business processes along with the flexibility to deploy in a public cloud, private cloud, on-premise, or hybrid cloud environment as their requirements evolve," he said.
WSO2 StratosLive is available through the Google Apps Marketplace and from WSO2.
As a fully open source middleware solution released under the Apache License 2.0, it does not carry any licensing fees. WSO2 StratosLive is backed by a standard service-level agreement and it is available at three paid subscription levels: SMB, Professional, and Enterprise, as well as a free demo subscription.

Name: Holley Mangold
Sport: Weightlifting
Hometown: Centerville, Ohio
Age: 22
Why you should care about her: Mangold is the younger sister of New York Jets center Nick Mangold. She also appeared on MTV's True Life: I'm the Big Girl. She's been in the news ever since high school, where she played four years of football and became the first girl to appear in an Ohio state championship game.
Click for more field guides
Even without her pseudo-celebrity, Mangold would be noteworthy simply for being so new to her sport. In high school, she was only a weightlifting dilettante, but she nevertheless won a state title at a meet where, SI.com informs us, competitors ate pork chops for breakfast. She attended the nearly all-female Ursuline College, where she would crack the windows on the first story of a building after dropping weights on the second story, which is pretty cool. When she began training in earnest only three and a half years ago, Mangold's original goal was to make the 2016 Olympics in Rio, but after a remarkable improvement over the past year she has earned a trip to London. At last check, she was living in fellow lifter Drew Dillon's laundry room.
Olympic/world championships experience: Her only international experience came at the 2010 Pan American Championships, where she took eighth place. On the national level, she is the two-time American Open champion, winning in 2009 and 2011. She also won the junior national championship in 2008, her first time competing in the event.
Sexy-pose threat level:
Olympic archetype: Rulon Gardner, Gillian Boxx
Scouting report from home country: From ESPN The Magazine:
Mangold can't wait. Her family will be there to cheer her on, minus Nick, who will be at Jets training camp but plans to call or text his well wishes and watch on TV. As for getting to the podium, Mangold, whose personal-best total is 562 pounds, said she's aiming to lift north of 617, which should put her in the range for bronze. With a little bit of luck, she'll pull it off.
Scouting report from some guy on the internet: David Portnoy, Barstool Boston:
[...] I'm a Holly Mangold fan. And not in a point and make fun of the fat bitch type of way either. I'm a legit fan. I'm not laughing at her. I'm laughing with her. She won me over on True Life and I've been a fan ever since. She's just the real deal. Nothing fake about her. As comfortable in her own skin as a human can be. Never says anything to make herself look good or win endorsement deals. She knows she's a huge fat bitch and she's cool with it. I know she doesn't look like what famous athletes who gets endorsement deals should look like, but I don't care. I'm on team Mangold and she is literally the only person I'll be rooting for at the Olympics. And if I was Wheaties I'd put her ugly mug on the cover of my cereal.
Did you know? Holley outweighs her brother by somewhere between 30 and 70 pounds.
Forecast for 2012: Since women's weightlifting became a medal event at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, no American woman has won gold. Mangold's personal best is 562 pounds—that's a combined total of her clean and jerk lift and her snatch lift—but she says her goal is to do better than 617 pounds in London. South Korea's Jang Mi-Ran took gold in the super-heavyweight division at Beijing with 717 pounds. The bronze medal winner had a total of 594 pounds. A medal isn't out of the question for Mangold, but it'll be tough.

As the National Football League begins its 18th season without a team in Los Angeles, a city official renewed calls on Wednesday for the return of professional football.
Councilman Tom LaBonge, in a resolution submitted to the City Council, has urged the city to again go on record in support of being home to one or two NFL teams.
"The 2013 NFL season — the 94th regular season — is set to begin Thursday with the defending Super Bowl XLVII champion Baltimore Ravens playing the Denver Broncos," LaBonge said in his resolution.
"Although football has a great history in the city of Los Angeles, it has not hosted an NFL game since the Raiders went back to Oakland prior to the 1995 season."
The resolution does not make a preference from proposed sites Farmers Field at L.A. Live, Dodger Stadium or the tentatively labeled L.A. Stadium at Grand Crossing in the City of Industry. Rather, it asks that consideration be given and two expansion teams awarded to Los Angeles — one from the National Football Conference and a second from the American Football Conference.

The union that represents police officers in Newtown is pushing to make more help available for those who responded to the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Attorney Eric Brown with AFSCME Council 15 says a handful of officers have been affected so severely by what they saw that they are not working. He says they have to use sick time and could soon be at risk of going without a paycheck.
Brown said Wednesday that the town and the union are asking the town's insurer to provide more assistance. The union is also reaching out to the governor's office and the legislature, where one Connecticut lawmaker says it will consider changes in state policy.
Many of the officers were the first to respond in the moments after a gunman killed 20 children and 6 educators inside Sandy Hook School.

Movie Review
White House Down
Rated PG-13 for language, a brief sexual image, and intense action violence, gunfire and explosions. Two hours, 17 minutes.
Publication date: Jun. 28, 2013
Review by Tyler Hanley
Released: (2013)
Case in point: The new Channing Tatum/Jamie Foxx actioner "White House Down." While fun in a harmless, artificial sort of way -- like Pop Rocks or costume jewelry -- "White House Down" is little more than "Die Hard" at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Plot points and characters are strikingly similar. Fortunately, leads Tatum and Foxx backed by a solid cast that includes Maggie Gyllenhaal, Richard Jenkins and James Woods lend the film a certain charm that helps balance out the "Die Hard" deja vu.
Military standout John Cale (Tatum) aspires to be a Secret Service agent and protect President James Sawyer (Foxx), especially since John's daughter Emily (Joey King) is a big fan of the pro-peace Commander in Chief. Shortly after a seemingly failed interview, John takes Emily on a tour of the White House, where she gets to meet President Sawyer in person. But Emily's jubilation is short lived as gun-toting mercenaries furtively seize control thanks to help from someone on the inside (no spoilers here).
While nearly everyone in the White House is taken hostage, John manages to evade capture (sound familiar ... ?) and sets his sights on protecting Sawyer and rescuing his captive daughter.
Tatum again demonstrates his likability as an actor and has a certain self-effacing quality that other "hunky" actors clearly lack. He brings a consistent humor and humility to his performance and is able to sell the action scenes effortlessly (his martial-arts background doesn't hurt).
Foxx is a bit miscast as the leader of the free world, especially for those of us who still remember his riotous turn as Wanda in the sketch-comedy show "In Living Color." But his charisma and experience are a boon here. Gyllenhaal and Woods (as Secret Service know-it-alls), frankly, look a bit haggard but perform admirably, and youngster King ("The Dark Knight Rises") adds a spark.
German director Roland Emmerich, whose resume includes a handful of doomsday pics ("Independence Day," "Godzilla"), goes light on believability and heavy on gunfire. The action is furious but implausible, with helicopters exploding over Washington, D.C., and an SUV doing donuts on the White House lawn.
Still, there's something to be said about watching an entertaining action flick in an air-conditioned theater while the summer heat swelters. Just maintain expectations and aim for a matinee. And get popcorn.

The Lava Miner looks great though. Hopefully It'll include that little Hover-Droid.
I won't get either of the two Troopers because:1: I have no interest in them.
So? IMO the TSC Naboo Flight Crew is a farrr better figure than the Galactic toilet or whatever you call him.
Not a chance given the OT leaning. No love for PT makes him old, not young
Now if we can just get a SA BARC trooper as well .

This is a membership site with social elements that allows users to share strategies with one another. What is different and unique is that we are an organization that pokes fun at groups, distributors and organzations that present this business is a very "unprofessional" and "over-hyped" way. We also band together to insure distributors rights are always being accounted for by giving a forum for distributors to discuss unfare practices by their company. They can complain and are also offered vision that their complaints are unfounded or based on incorrect or incomplete information, or if their is a legitimate problem, the company's unfair practices will be heard throughout the community immediately.

For the crusts, I used my go-to pie crust recipe, but continuing with my whole wheat challenge, I swapped the regular flour with whole wheat pastry. The result was still good, although I have to admit that I could taste a difference in the pie crust. The whole wheat definitely tasted more wholesome, which is not necessarily bad, but not as good as the standard buttery pie crust. Maybe more butter would help. Or maybe a half and half mixture. Otherwise these little tartelettes were pretty awesome. Sweet, gooey, nutty all wrapped in a cute little package.
Pecan Tartelettes
- 2 Eggs, Slightly Beaten
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Light Corn Syrup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Flour
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
- 1-1/4 cups chopped pecans
- 1 unbaked pie crust (recipe below)
2. Using a 2in diameter cookie cutter, cut 16 rounds of pie dough. Lightly press into a buttered muffin pan.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, honey, syrup, sugar, flour, salt and vanilla. Pour about 2-3 Tablespoons in each mini pie shell. Be careful that the filling doesn't flow over the shell.
4. Spread 2 Tb pecans in each shell.
Bake at 375 deg F. for 20 minutes or until filling is set. Remove each tartelette onto cooling rack and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Whole Wheat Pie Crust (adapted from Land O'Lakes)
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup cold butter
- 2 to 3 Tbs ice cold water
2. Shape dough ball. Flatten slightly. Wrap ball in plastic food wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

I managed to salvage the missed Tonga flight. I went to the Air New Zealand office in Apia and got the ticket changed to July 11, which is when I should be arriving back from Tokelau.
If the Tokelau boat can't get fixed before then, I can move the date up a week.
I also went into a travel agent in town and asked them handle my tickets for Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, New Caledonia and PNG. I'm not going to bother trying to arrange my own travel in the Pacific anymore. That should give me a month planned ahead, which is far more than I've had so far in the trip.
The only big mystery for me now in the Pacific is Kiribati. I know I can get there from Nauru (or at least I think I do. I shouldn't assume any flight schedules are true around here). I don't know if i can go from Kiribati to Guam or the Marshall Islands, however. If I can figure that out, then I should be set on everything up to Japan.
I now need to work on getting my visas for China and Kiribati. I have to get the Kiribati visa in Suva, Fiji (they only have like 3 embassies in the world) and I can probably apply for the China visa there too.
I'm going to go around the island of Upalu today and then try to go to Savai'i over the weekend. Savai'i is supposed to have the western most point on Earth…which considering it's sphere really means its the western most point of land on this side of the International Date line.

We all have kitchen mishaps.
Many of my friends and co-workers assume that I don't make mistakes in the kitchen and that everything always turns out well. They think everything I make tastes great and I don't burn things or screw up recipes. Well they are wrong and this cheesecake has a story to vouch it. First I would like to say that in the end this cheesecake was pretty amazing, it was not easy getting there.
I found this recipe on the Kraft Foods Website and thought it would be a good dessert to make for Valentine's day. I decided to make this recipe the night before Valentine's Day and it came together really easily. I considered baking it in a water bath to keep it from cracking (Note: the last cheesecake I made looked liked it was in a earthquake it had so many cracks and craters!), but since the recipe did not mention anything about it I decided not to use a water bath. I had the cheesecake in the oven for about 10 minutes when my boyfriend said he smelled something burning. I looked in the oven and the cheesecake was fine and I did not smell smoke so I brushed it off. Another 10 minutes goes by and I am smelling smoke too. I check the oven and the cheesecake is leaking all over the bottom of the oven causing the smoke. Naturally, both of our two smoke detectors go off.
Normally this would not be that big of a deal, but I live in an apartment building in Washington DC. My smoke detector is linked to the building so if it goes off for too long it will set off the fire alarm for the entire building. I shut off the oven, my boyfriend and I open all the windows (it was only 20 degrees out) and we each take a towel and start fanning the air in front of the smoke detectors. We get the alarms to stop going off, I wait for the oven to cool, and then I begin cleaning the drippings from the bottom of the oven. I really wanted to finish the cheesecake for Valentine's Day after all. I thought I had smartened up so this time I put a cookie sheet on the rack below the cheesecake. The cheesecake is in the oven for about another ten minutes and what do you know, the smoke detectors are going off again and we had to go through the entire de-smoking process again! In an effort to save the cheesecake, I did not open the oven door after I turned it off and just left the cheesecake in the oven for a couple hours and hoped it would finish cooking. Luckily the cheesecake survived (the crust was a little soft in the center) and we were still able to enjoy it the following night, but now you know I am not perfect in the kitchen. Also, if you make this recipe, put the cheesecake pan right ontop of a cookie sheet.
Oreo Peanut Butter Cheesecake
modified from Kraftfoods.com
Preheat oven to 350°F. Finely crush 16 of the cookies. Coarsely chop remaining 14 cookies; set aside.
Mix finely crushed cookies and butter. Press firmly onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan; set aside.
Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add sour cream and peanut butter; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Gently stir in chopped cookies. Pour over crust.
Baked 50 to 60 minutes or until center is almost set (I reccomend placing the cheesecake pan on a cookie sheet). Run knife or metal spatula around side of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing side of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.

Ever since the first human pair craned their necks skyward to bask in a silvery full moon, men and women have rhapsodized about love. We say (and sing!) that love makes the world go round, that love is the answer, that all you need is love. You might even say we glory in the power of love.
But what is love, really? And if its so popular, then why does it seem so hard to find?
Author and pastor Chuck Smith has spent a lifetime not only pondering the nature of genuine loveGods love for us, our love for God, and Gods love poured out through us to othersbut also learning through experience what true love is, what it does, and how it transforms everything it touches. In this rich, encouraging, and deeply practical book, he describes how every one of us can come to experience and share the kind of world-changing love that continuously pours from the very heart of God, the original Lover Himself.

What People are Saying:
It was a love he and his wife, Kay, had in their hearts from the Lord to reach out to a lost generation of kids in the 1960s, which resulted in the Jesus People Movement in Southern California. I am proud to say that I was one of those kids. This is distilled truth that can potentially change your life. I highly recommend it.
Pastor Greg Laurie
I have been encouraged greatly by the teachings of Chuck Smith over the years, and he has once again continued the encouragement by showing the beautiful depth of Gods love for us.Jeremy Camp
In the 1970s, when the world proclaimed a false and empty lovethe love of God was poured out through the ministry of Pastor Chuck Smith. I was one of a generation transformed through his message. I know this book is going to change peoples hearts forever. Pastor Raul Ries
In a day and age when love is constantly redefined, Pastor Chuck takes us to the core definition: God is love. The book has challenged me to love in ways beyond me
sacrificially. Pastor Pancho Juarez
With all of the books I have read from Pastor Chuckand Ive read them allthis book touched me the most. I felt like I was on the mountaintop, and I didnt want to come down. I will definitely get this for my friends.

Rangers-Cubs rained out; no makeup announced
Ogando scheduled to start Thursday, but Chicago forecast not promising
CHICAGO -- The Rangers game with the Cubs on Wednesday at Wrigley Field was washed away by rain, with no makeup date yet to be set.
The two teams will try again at 1:20 p.m. CT on Thursday for what should have been the third game of the three-game series. But it will be just one game. The two teams are not going to play a doubleheader, even though this is the Rangers' only trip to Wrigley Field this year. Part of the problem is more rain is forecast for Thursday, even though the Cubs are hoping they can get one game played.
"Hopefully the weathermen are wrong, but they weren't wrong today," Rangers manager Ron Washington said.
Justin Grimm was scheduled to pitch on Wednesday, but the postponement forced Texas to alter its schedule. Grimm will be bumped back to Sunday against the Mariners.
The Rangers are still going to pitch Alexi Ogando on Thursday against the Cubs and Yu Darvish on Friday against the Mariners. Nick Tepesch is scheduled for Saturday against the Mariners.
"We just wanted to keep all those other guys on schedule, that's all that is," Washington said.
Derek Holland will get an extra day. He was scheduled to pitch on Sunday, but the Rangers will push him back on Monday so he can pitch the first game of a three-game series against the Angels in Anaheim.
Darvish was already given an extra couple of days off because of Monday's off-day. One reason was to help the blister on his right ring finger, and that seems to have helped. Darvish threw a bullpen session on Tuesday without any problems.
"It's perfect," Darvish said.
The two dates that are being discussed as makeup dates are May 6 and May 9. Both teams are off those days and the Rangers play a two-game series with the Brewers on May 7-8 in Milwaukee.

Interviewing C++ developers with extreme prejudice
Clever ways to find clever people
These days I do a bit of pimping (a.k.a. "quant headhunting" in polite company - a "quant" is a quantitative analyst doing high-value numerical analysis) for expensive people at banks. It may scare or delight you, but a lot of the financial markets are run off C++ with Excel VBA.
The first pass across the prospective intake is to check they are up to date, and have moved beyond MFC. Sure, I respect those who've made this wretched confection of multiple inheritance, and intrusive base classes actually work, but they should have moved on.
STL (Standard Template Library; Dinkumware does multi platform STL implementations and licenses a version to Microsoft) is a must and opens up opportunities for good deep interview questions. Knowing about Boost (which will probably be in the next C++ standard) shows they are near enough to the state-of-the-art.
I like them enough to understand the problems of inheriting from STL classes and order (N) notation, and it doesn't hurt to be able to write the declaration of a vector of linked lists of stacks, even if you never do it in real life. However, many interviewers like to compose some stupidly complex declaration and ask what it means. What it means, of course, is that they have low standards.
A large percentage of development, naturally, is debugging, so I have an array of code samples broken in obvious and subtle ways to ask about - and, yes, a couple of the bugs are my own foul-ups.
A modern C++ programmer needs to show s/he can happily work at three levels of abstraction, so I like to run discussions at three levels: the middle level is where C++ isn't really very different from Java or even Delphi; you declare, loop and call until the job is done. Many never get far outside this layer in either direction.
Below, we have the "physical" system of memory, CPU and operating system. This is classical old style programming, and quite a few people never master it, which can lead to horrible errors. Even if you don't do much low level work, it's important that you have a good "model" of what is happening to your code, even if it's a simple one. A good example of physical level programming is force fitting a class over a C struct, or perhaps extending a system data structure so C++ can handle it better. Done properly you can convert a simple blob of memory to an elegant class with zero overhead. Same applies to threads; you need to combine the CompSci view of mutexes and semaphores with the understanding that the thread creation API doesn't "really" take a function, but an address. This is part of getting your code to work with other subsystems. Given the percentage of project pain in that area, the more interfacing someone has done the better.
Going up, you need to communicate ideas and model the gross behaviour of your code, and these days that means patterns. Good candidates will be able to work through all the Gang of Four stuff, and even an adequate candidate will be able to not only implement singletons; blackboards etc, but also explain where they are useful. Singleton is asked about in many interviews nowadays, as is MVC and, of course, factory. The larger the project, the more important patterns become, so it is important that the people you hire are up to speed. They may express their ideas in some form of UML (Unified Modelling Language) or the RUP (Rational Unified Process), which is good even if you don't use them yet. Programmers who cannot communicate their ideas aren't just inefficient, they are often quite dangerous.
For completeness, I often chuck in questions about overloaded and virtual functions, though I do worry about people who are too good at them, since it implies their code may be too clever and fragile when others modify it.
A good programmer has a balance between the high and low level views. I see too many people who sneer at low level stuff, only for it to bite them on the ankle later, in ways they simply can't understand.
But ultimately, interviews as such are far from ideal. In recent times, I've handed over a laptop and asked a candidate to write some code for a standard algorithm like quicksort or even just a hash table. In fact, I've found the best predictor of programming skill is actually the expression on their face when I do.
The bottom line, however, is not whether a programmer knows a particular syntax, or can list those operators which may be overloaded. All this is in online help or the web. More important is that s/he can make good decisions about what to use and can explain those decisions. ®

Very Berry Tart
Blueberry, Blackberry & Raspberry
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 egg yolk
1 cup of blueberries
1 cup of blackberries
1 cup of raspberries
1/4 cup of sugar
Topping (not pictured)
Whipped Cream or Ice Cream
For the crust, combine flour and brown sugar in the mixing bowl. Cut cold butter into small pieces. Add it to the flour mixture. With the whisk attachment mix the butter into the flour and sugar. The whisk will help to "cut" the butter into the dry ingredients. When it is crumbly, add egg yolk. Mix together. Press the mixture into a tart shell. The mixture will be crumbly and loose.
Option 1 : Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees until brown. Cool and pile with fresh berries (no sugar needed). Serve with Ice Cream or Whipped Cream.
Option 2 : Pile berries into the uncooked crust. Sprinkle sugar over the berries. Cook for 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes until the edges and the berries begin to bubble slightly. Serve warm with Ice Cream or Whipped Cream.
With your fingers, press the crumbs into the tart pan. You can also use a pie plate.
Add the berries on top of the crust. I used blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, but you could use strawberries, peaches, plums... whatever you have.
Out of the oven - doesn't it look good?! I love that there is not anything on the berries (but a little sugar) to hide their flavors. The crust is like a crumbly, sandy shortbread cookie.

Let's Read It Again: Comprehension Strategies for English-Language Learners
|Lesson Plan Type
|Standard Lesson
|Estimated Time
|Five 30-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Port Richey, Florida
One of the most effective ways to engage English-language learners (ELLs) and help them comprehend and read English is through repeated readings and retellings of appealing bilingual picture books. Using Con Mi Hermano/With My Brother by Eileen Roe, this lesson has second grade Spanish-speaking ELLs identify the main idea of the story, construct meaning from text and illustrations, and learn English words. They then demonstrate their knowledge and practice writing in English by writing a poem and a retelling of the story. This lesson (which can be adapted using bilingual books in other languages and for other ages) also has older struggling readers read with younger students. Finally, it encourages English-speaking students in mixed classrooms to learn Spanish words for familiar people and objects.
- Flip Book: Have students use this interactive to create bilingual dictionaries with basic Spanish vocabulary.
- Concept Web Worksheet: Students can use this printout to record activities the boy likes to do with his brother. This web can be adapted to work for a variety of topics.
Vardell, S.M., Hadaway, N.L., & Young, T.A. (2006). Matching books and readers: Selecting literature for English learners. The Reading Teacher, 59(8), 734741.
- English-language learners (ELLs) have great cognitive demands put on them as they try to learn English and content quickly. They need practice using English in "purposeful, authentic contexts."
- Exposure to meaningful, age-appropriate texts is critical to helping ELLs become readers and writers in English.
- Numerous illustrations help ELLs with limited word knowledge figure out the meaning of what they are trying to read, helping them to read independently and improving their confidence.
- Content should be a consideration when choosing books for ELLs; the story should be accessible and the language direct. Books should include key vocabulary about day-to-day activities and topics that students new to their surroundings need to learn.

Big News! I'm Going to Rome!
Then, just a couple of days ago, my mother handed me an envelope--and inside it was an invitation for a mother-daughter trip to Roma!
Can you believe it? Is that the sweetest thing you've EVER HEARD?! I was struck speechless with awe and gratitude.
My dad is graciously stepping aside for this mother-daughter trip and I am just beside myself with excitement and joy. Rome! Pompeii! Ostia! Neapolis!
This fall, y'all!
I was talking about this trip with my daughter and she said, "Mom, this is a dream come true for you, isn't it?"
And all I could say was, "Yes, yes it is."
I. Cannot. Wait.
Soon, I will be able to say, "I came. I saw. I squeed!"

Oh, SO exciting--and SO sweet of your parents!

Wow, congrats, what a wonderful trip to look forward to.
Parents rock. I could not do my Baltic Sea cruise without a cheque from my father, either. He feels too old for such stressful tours though he's still fine with shorter trips (2-3 days). So he told me to take photos and blog about it. :)

Medium Voltage Variable Frequency Converter AC Drive for HVAC
A compressor is a mechanical device that takes in a medium and compresses it to a smaller volume. Compressors can either increase or decrease a given mass to a lower or higher pressure. A mechanical or electrical drive is typically connected to a pump that is used to compress the medium.
Compressors have many everyday uses, such as:
· Air conditioners, (car, home)
· Air pumps
· Home and industrial refrigeration
· High pressure car washes
· Hydraulic compressors for industrial machines
· Air compressors for industrial manufacturing
Compressors are used by many industries that depend on the power of compressed gas or fluid to power manufacturing processes of all kinds.
There are several different compressor types:
· Rotary screw compressor
Two helical rotors force gas into a chamber that decreases in size, thereby increasing the pressure of the gas. The screws in the rotary screw compressor can be lubricated with oil or non-lubricated. Oil-free compressors are used for gas that must remain clean and uncontaminated. Rotary screw compressors are typically sized from 30-200 horsepower.
· Reciprocating compressor
One or more pistons are moved inside a cylinder to increase the gas pressure. This is similar to a combustion engine without the ignition of fuel. Just like a car, the pistons generate much heat so the reciprocating compressor is typically cooled by air or water. Multi-stage reciprocating compressors pass the compressed gas from one cylinder to another, increasing the pressure in each stage. Most industrial compressors are multi-stage, ranging from one to 500 or more horsepower.
· Centrifugal compressor
Centrifugal compressors speed up and compress gas via a rotor with blades. Centrifugal force is used to force the air or gas to an outer chamber under higher pressure. Centrifugal compressors are designed to operate above 75-80% speed. Surging can occur below these speeds. This makes the centrifugal compressor ideal for continuous high duty operation.

A variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a system for controlling the rotational speed of an alternating current (AC) electric motor by controlling the frequency of the electrical power supplied to the motor. A variable frequency drive is a specific type of adjustable-speed drive. Variable-frequency drives are also known as adjustable-frequency drives (AFD), variable-speed drives (VSD), AC drives, microdrives or inverter drives. Since the voltage is varied along with frequency, these are sometimes also called VVVF (variable voltage variable frequency) drives.

While preparing to host the Sochi Winter Olympics, Russia continued to pressure journalists and human rights defenders covering sensitive issues. Authorities intensified their squeeze on Internet speech and upping their anti-press rhetoric. Impunity in anti-press violence remained largely unaddressed; one journalist died as a consequence of a previous brutal attack, and another was murdered in the volatile North Caucasus region bordering Sochi. A Dutch photojournalist was denied a Russian visa, and a Norwegian television crew was obstructed in retaliation for their Sochi coverage. One editor was attacked, one parliament member threatened two journalists, and at least two journalists were imprisoned when CPJ conducted its annual prison census on December 1. Despite initial hopes, the retrial of several suspects in the 2006 murder of Novaya Gazeta journalist, Anna Politkovskaya, was at a stalemate at year's end. But Russian authorities took an important step toward defeating impunity in the country: One suspect in the 2000 murder of another Novaya Gazeta journalist, Igor Domnikov, was convicted and sentenced to seven years in prison.
In 2013, a Russian court convicted a key defendant accused of mediating between the mastermind and the killers of Igor Domnikov, the Novaya Gazeta journalist brutally murdered by hammer-wielding assailants in 2000. The court convicted Pavel Sopot, a businessman, of inciting Domnikov's murder and sentenced him to seven years in prison.
|Domnikov reports on corruption in the Lipetsk regional administration in western Russia. In a series of investigative articles, he accuses local government officials of nepotism, driving local farmers into bankruptcy, and assigning themselves high salaries while allowing the population to wallow in poverty.
May 12, 2000
|At least one assailant attacks Domnikov around 8 p.m. at the entrance to his Moscow apartment building, bashing him on the head with a hammer. The journalist undergoes surgery, but falls into a two-month coma.
July 16, 2000
|Domnikov dies of head injuries sustained in the attack without regaining consciousness.
August 26, 2007
|A judge in the west central republic of Tatarstan convicts five members of a criminal gang in Domnikov's murder as well as in several other crimes, and sentences each to a lengthy prison term. The gang's leader, Eduard Tagiryanov, is given a life term.
May 8, 2013
|Russian investigators arrest Moscow businessman Pavel Sopot as the organizer of the Domnikov killing. Domnikov's Novaya Gazeta colleagues, who had carried out their own investigation into the murder, had long suspected Sopot of playing a key role in the murder—as a middleman between the Tagiryanov gang and Sergei Dorovskoi, then deputy governor of Lipetsk. Dorovskoi, who Novaya Gazeta says commissioned Domnikov's murder, denies any involvement. Sopot's arrest was reportedly pegged to Tagiryanov's testimony.
October 2013
|Tagiryanov suddenly reneges on his testimony, Novaya Gazeta reports, after having been visited by one of Sopot's lawyers in jail. He says he alone is responsible for Domnikov's killing, clearing Sopot and Dorovskoi of any responsibility. Novaya Gazeta publicly appeals to the Moscow court hearing Sopot's case, and to the prosecution, to ensure that Tagiryanov has not been pressured, bribed, or threatened to change his testimony.
November-December 2013
|Despite Tagiryanov's denial of his previous testimony, the court continues to prosecute Sopot. Additional testimony by three Tagiryanov gang members already convicted and jailed for fatally beating Domnikov corroborate Sopot's role in the crime.
December 2013
|Moscow's Lyublinsky court convicts Sopot of inciting Domnikov's murder. The court sentences Sopot to seven years in a high-security prison and orders him to pay the journalist's widow 1 million rubles (US$30,317) in compensation.
Russia remains on CPJ's list of countries where journalists are murdered regularly for their work and their killers go unpunished. Russia was also ranked on CPJ's 2013 Risk List, which identifies the 10 places where press freedom suffered the most in 2013.
1. Iraq
2. Somalia
3. Philippines
4. Sri Lanka
5. Colombia
6. Afghanistan
7. Mexico
8. Pakistan
9. Russia
10. Brazil
11. Nigeria
12. India
In a February 14, 2013, speech before the FSB, the board of Russia's security service, President Vladimir Putin said that while citizens' right to free speech was undisputed, "no one has the right to sow hatred or destabilize our society and country."
Putin also urged security agents to fight extremism by blocking "attempts by radicals to use the potential of modern information technology, the Internet, and social networks to diffuse their propaganda."
March 14, 2013
|Prosecutors in Abakan, capital of the Republic of Khakassia in southern Siberia, file criminal defamation charges against Mikhail Afanasyev, editor of the online magazine Novy Focus, in connection with a December 9, 2012, opinion piece that criticized a police official. The case moves to court a month later. It is dropped in September amid a growing domestic and international outcry.
May 23, 2013
A court in the central Russian city of Ulyanovsk orders the state-owned Internet provider Rostelecom to block public access to the independent news website Gazeta, saying it had been propagating corruption by publishing articles on how to bribe officials to avoid punishment for crimes. In its ruling, the court does not clearly state what specific laws the website has allegedly violated, and does not name the articles at issue.
Gazeta journalists tell CPJ they are unaware of the claim against the website and learned about the ruling from readers calling the newsroom to ask why their access had been restricted. Access is restored in June, but in November, the popular Internet provider Beeline blocks access to the site for its users in the city of Armavir, Krasnodar Region, based on the same alleged violation.
July 2013
|Popular anti-corruption blogger, activist, and presidential hopeful Aleksei Navalny is tried on politically motivated embezzlement charges in retaliation for his investigations into allegedly corrupt dealings of top Russian officials. Navalny is found guilty and sentenced to five years in jail on July 18. The sentence is suspended in October on appeal.
October 31, 2013
|A Moscow court revokes the license of the independent online news agency Rosbalt, accusing it of publishing videos containing foul language. Rosbalt had carried a video of a performance at a Russian oil rig by the feminist punk rock band Pussy Riot, two members of which were imprisoned on charges of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred" in relation to an irreverent prayer performed at a Moscow church.
On September 18, Russia jailed local freelance photographer Denis Sinyakov and British freelance journalist Kieron Bryan on charges of piracy. Both reporters were on assignment, covering a Greenpeace demonstration against oil drilling in the Arctic.
The piracy charges were changed to hooliganism, and the journalists were released on bail in November, news reports said. The trial was pending in late year.
At least two other journalists remained in prison in Russia when CPJ conducted its annual prison census on December 1.

MADISON, Wis., Sept. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Novelos Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCQX: NVLT), a pharmaceutical company developing novel drugs for the treatment and diagnosis of cancer, today announced that Harry Palmin, President and CEO of Novelos, will present at the Rodman & Renshaw 14th Annual Healthcare Conference on Tuesday, September 11, 2012. Mr. Palmin is scheduled to present at 10:50am ET in the Starlight North. The event will be held September 9-11, at The Waldorf Astoria, 301 Park Avenue, New York, NY.

Information about the conference is available at www.rodm.com/conferences?id=176
About Novelos Therapeutics, Inc.
We are a pharmaceutical company developing novel drugs for the treatment and diagnosis of cancer. Our cancer-targeted compounds are selectively taken up and retained in cancer cells, including cancer stem cells, versus normal cells. Thus, our therapeutic compounds appear to directly kill cancer cells while minimizing harm to normal cells. This offers the potential for a paradigm shift in cancer therapy by providing efficacy versus all three major drivers of mortality in cancer: primary tumors, metastases and stem cell-based relapse. I-124-CLR1404 (LIGHT) is a small-molecule cancer-targeted PET imaging agent. We believe LIGHT has first-in-class potential and Phase 1-2 clinical trials are ongoing across 11 solid tumor indications. I-131-CLR1404 (HOT) is a small-molecule, broad-spectrum, cancer-targeted molecular radiotherapeutic that delivers cytotoxic radiation directly and selectively to cancer cells and cancer stem cells. We believe HOT also has first-in-class potential. HOT Phase 1b dose-escalation trial is ongoing and we expect HOT to enter Phase 2 trials in the third quarter of 2013 as a monotherapy for solid tumors with significant unmet medical need, subject to additional funding. CLR1502 (GLOW2) is a preclinical cancer-targeted optical imaging agent for intraoperative tumor margin illumination and non-invasive tumor imaging. Together, we believe our compounds are able to "find, treat and follow" cancer anywhere in the body in a novel, effective and highly selective way.

Washoe County Health District Wins Prestigious EPA Clean Air Excellence Award
Release Date: 04/02/2014
Contact Information: Margot Perez-Sullivan, 415-947-4149, firstname.lastname@example.com
Washoe one of nine winners nationwide
SAN FRANCISCO – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today is presenting the 2014 Clean Air Excellence Award to the Washoe County Health District's Air Quality Management Division for their innovative work launching the "Keep It Clean" public awareness campaign.
The campaign increases public awareness and engages the citizens of Reno, Sparks and Washoe County, on air quality issues. There are three major community action components to Keep It Clean: Know the Code, a woodburning advisory program; Rack Em Up, an alternative transportation program; and nOzone, a smog prevention program. Each of these encourages emissions reductions and empowers citizens to take positive actions to reduce ozone and particulate matter throughout the year.
"Washoe County's clean air awareness campaign is helping citizens to take simple steps – like bike riding to school and reducing wood burning – that reduce ozone and particulate matter year round," said Jared Blumenfeld, EPA's Regional Administrator for the Pacific Southwest
"It's a significant achievement for anyone to receive this award and it's really something for a small County staff of 18 to be recognized," said Washoe County Health District AQMD Director Charlene Albee.
From improving indoor air quality in Tribal communities in the Northwest to installing solar panels in Tennessee, award winners demonstrate a commitment to improving the air that we breathe and addressing climate change. This year's other winners are:
