Dear Chase, Keep up the great design work. - Cory
I'm not going to even bother dissecting this hideousness. It would take me too long. The people at Chase should be ashamed of themselves.
Also, according to the Wayback Machine, the website hasn't changed since 2006, which equates to about 28 internet years - a very long time.
And somebody even created a Chrome Extension to modify the design of the Chase account portal when using Chrome. Once people start using their own CSS to improve the functionality of your website, it might be a good indicator that it's time to start over.

"He was a strong soldier. Very professional, very knowledgeable, very strong," King said. "He's a solid guy. I consider him a friend, which made the questioning tough. You realize the human tragedy here."
After he spoke at the House Intelligence hearing, Petraeus testified in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee. He was ushered into both sessions without reporters being able to get a camera shot of him, and after he testified he left the premises, CNN learned.
Petraeus was not asked to testify under oath, King said.
King and other lawmakers said Petraeus testified that his resignation had nothing to do with the consulate attack.
That matches what Petraeus told Kyra Phillips of HLN, CNN's sister network. He said his resignation was solely a result of his extramarital affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. He added that he never passed classified information to her.
Prior to Friday's hearings, it was thought that Petraeus would tell lawmakers that the CIA knew soon after the attack that Ansar al Sharia was responsible for it, according to an official with knowledge of the case. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject matter.
Ansar al Sharia is more of a label than an organization, one that's been adopted by conservative Salafist groups across the Arab world.
It was not known whether Petraeus spoke specifically about Ansar al Sharia during Friday's sessions.
After the House committee hearing, Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Maryland, said the confusion over the consulate incident arose from there being essentially two threads of violence: one caused by the protest, which was chaotic, and a second that was orchestrated by terrorists, which was highly coordinated.
There were "two different types of situations at play," Ruppersberger said, explaining that in the hours and days after the attack, it was naturally difficult to clearly discern what happened.

If you're one of the 1 in 5 American adults who still smokes, here's another reason to quit -- or at least scale back on days that are likely to end with several drinks: A new study finds that the likelihood of experiencing a hangover after a bout of heavy drinking is greater for those who smoke heavily on the day of their alcohol consumption. Worse still, the new research found that when a day of heavy cigarette smoking leads to a night of heavy drinking, the misery of the resulting hangover is intensified.
The Dutch authors of the latest study believe they have captured something more than a commonly observed social coincidence: that heavy drinkers tend also to be smokers. Instead, they suggest that nicotine or other smoke constituents which accumulate in a smoker's nervous system may interact with alcohol to produce a particularly punishing next-day experience.
The study came out this week in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs.
The intensifying effect of tobacco smoke on hangovers was unmistakable when the bout of drinking was especially heavy: when subjects attained a blood alcohol level of more than 110 mg/dl (or .11%), which would be legally intoxicated in any U.S. state. To do so, a 140-pound person would have to consume more than six bottles of beer in two hours.
In a eight-week study period, the 113 Dutch students who participated in the research managed to produce 1,272 such occasions, which were typically followed the next day by "the unpleasant residual effects of very heavy drinking" -- headache, weakness, nausea, trouble concentrating. When researchers checked the presence and severity of such symptoms against the subjects' logs of how many cigarettes they had smoked the previous day, they found that drinkers who smoked seven or more cigarettes on the day of their bout suffered the most vicious symptoms the next day.

text: The shirt is nice looking and of good quality. Seems pretty true to size. The only negative thing I can say is that the buttons are a little bit harder than normal to button due to the ridging on them. However, it adds an extra design element, so I don't think it's a big thing. I'm sure I will get used to it.

PBBans Lite Streaming now available
Posted Jun 28, 2012 - 01:17 PM
When PBBans started in 2003 we allowed anyone to stream with the exception of players who had a ban on the Master Ban Index (MBi). In 2008 we had to revise that policy with additional requirements which included some suggestions from outside sources such as Even Balance. This was due to the mass fake ban attacks and since then we have denied streaming to many teams mainly for not meeting our revised requirements. Those include a website, active forums and a roster. While it doesn't make streaming totally secure it does greatly reduce the risk of fake bans.
Today we are launching PBBans Lite Streaming which will allow those server admins who do not meet the website, forums or roster requirements a way to use PBBans while keeping our streaming security intact. It offers the same streaming benefits that our current admins have but with the following limitations:
- Player data from servers are not entered into the Master Player Index (MPi).
- New bans are entered into the Unofficial MBi. There are also no ban announcements for any ban added to the Unofficial MBi.
- No PBSS or Demo submissions.
- Streaming Lite Admins have limited access to the Master Player Index (MPi).
- Streaming Lite Admins do not have access to the same forum areas as Streaming Admins.
Some may ask why even offer lite streaming if the above limitations are in place. The goal of the lite streaming option is to give server admins who do not meet all our requirements the ability to use the PBBans Hub so they can have the protection that other admins have.
The lite streaming option is a good way for previously skeptical/reluctant server admins to get an idea of how effective PBBans Hub streaming can be in keeping cheaters out of their servers. Lite streaming admins also have the option to upgrade to full streaming at any time by meeting all the streaming requirements and submitting a ticket.
Lite streaming admins can enforce bans from the MBi and they can also enforce bans from the unofficial MBi as well. Our PBBans Full Streaming members now have the option to enforce unofficial bans for all games.
Cheating is not going away and in the end we are here to fight cheating in games. We feel the lite streaming option will help do that while keeping our streaming security the same as it has been since 2008.

Posted Jun 28, 2012 - 02:21 PM
The UMBi is more of an internal banlist for grey area bans. That is why it's not available to the public the same way the original MBi is.
We don't see the need to add any personal admin banlists to the Hub as others do that already (and get more ddos heat because of it ie Metabans)

The requirements will always apply to any group that wishes to use the full range of what PBBans has to offer.
With over 12,000 team accounts it's impractical for us to register on each and every website that applies for full streaming.
Some groups have had their sites etc attacked and prefer to keep things locked down.
They have created a username and password for PBBans accounts staff use and we have no problem with any group that prefers to go down that route.
The username and password is added to the team account notes of groups that prefer to keep things locked down tight, so it is a one off deal.
The lite streaming option has been introduced primarily because, for every group that applies successfully for a team account, on average we have to turn away 6 other groups because they fail to meet the requirements.
At least with the lite streaming option, a server admin can protect his servers with the PBBans Hub while he works on whats needed for full PBBans streaming.

Killing Kanko
24 Nov 2010
RYAN VREDE argues that Ryan Kankowski is guilty of letting himself down but appalling management and a patent lack of coaching are mitigating factors.
Just two years ago there was a raging debate about who of Pierre Spies or Ryan Kankowski should start at No 8 for the Springboks. Spies had one of his worst-ever Super Rugby campaigns, while Kankowski shone for the Sharks, prompting widespread calls for his inclusion.
However, Peter de Villiers banked on Spies but told the media that we were 'blessed' to have a talent like Kankowski in the wings. 'There is no difference whether Spies or Kankowski plays,' he added, 'they're equally good.'
Seventeen Test matches into his career and we're still waiting for Kankowski to replicate his best Super Rugby form on the Test stage. Certainly he hasn't strengthened his case for a run-on start in the limited opportunities he has received, but the cause of his mediocrity demands closer inspection.
Undoubtedly the Springboks' pragmatic tactics don't aid him and is the reason both he and Spies have struggled to assert themselves consistently at Test level. Nowhere was that more evident than against Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday.
The Springboks began promisingly, playing through phases and attacking the channels around the ruck fringe. Kankowski would often be deployed at third or fourth phase, where he had time and space to attack a depleted defensive line. By utilising him in this manner the Springboks were harnessing his primary strength and extracting the greatest value from him.
Then inexplicably they started to kick away possession. Compounding their problems was the poor execution of those kicks. Kankowski, along with the team's other primary strike runners, was rendered a virtual spectator for the remainder of the Test.
Furthermore, De Villiers argues that he has invested in Kankowski, but that investment amounts to 609 minutes of a possible 1 360. That seems reasonable for a second-choice eighthman.
However, the picture becomes clearer when you consider that 122 of those minutes were spent at blindside flank, a position he freely concedes he is not suited to, 86 of those minutes were against lowly Italy and those 80 minutes were in the dead-rubber third Test against the British & Irish Lions in 2009. Tests against Wales and Scotland account for a further 215 minutes.
De Villiers' estimation of the player was further questioned when he selected Joe van Niekerk ahead of him for the Test against Wales in June. Van Niekerk would not be selected again in 2010.
In fact this year Kankowski has suffered most from his coaches' clear lack of vision and unwavering belief in an off-form Spies.
Barring the Scotland Test on Saturday, he's started once, at blindside flank against Australia in Perth, and was woeful. Only twice has he played in two successive matches. When announcing his team to play England, De Villiers called Kankowski the Man of the Match against Scotland, but still omitted him from the match 22 for Twickenham.
It's not just flawed and stifling tactics and a lack of game time that irks. It is also that Kankowski clearly hasn't been schooled in the the nuances between Super Rugby and Test rugby. His running lines and positional play don't differ, which is a poor reflection on the Springboks' coaching staff.
Willem Alberts is De Villiers' new plaything. When Heinrich Brüssow returns, Kankowski's international career will stall. The treatment he has received is abominable. A player of his calibre deserves better.

24 Nov 2010, 15:23 pmRyan Kankowski was no worse than the rest of the Boks
England are gonna smash us and thats okay with me.
I can't support these clowns any more -
24 Nov 2010, 16:27 pmWith Danie Rossouw – the no 8 who excels in NH conditions – being "rested" for this tour, Willem Alberts should have been the no.8. Alberts is very similar to Pakslae with his driving plays and could have grown in stature now that Danie is fading into the twilight. Spies & Kanko are similar players – speedy and fast on hard and dry surfaces but disappearing in a muddy and sloppy forward brawl. Spies actually suprised me on this tour, but Kanko last Saturday was the completely wrong horse for the course in the Murrayfield bathtub.
I wonder if the 3 stooges even realized that they werepicking a team for the Northern Hemisphere and not for Australia/New Zealand/locally when selecting the squad? Do they bother to look at weather predictions? Why announce the team on Tuesday and not wait till Thursday when a more reliable weather prediction can be factored into the team selection.
I really hope PdV have Eddy Jones on speeddial for next years WC – that may be our only hope unless SARFU has the balls to do something about the 3 stooges NOW.
24 Nov 2010, 17:01 pm@kevin w(kevin w) :
You're not going to win the argument. Too many on this site think that Kanko (or any other 'non pampered' player) should win the game on their own or they're useless. The fact of life is that many, like Spies, MS, JdV and the other premadonnas have played consitently in poor bok performances. That they are the common denominator just escapes thier limited knowledge of Rugby or any other sport. The whole shenanigans revolves around their unabriddled hero worship of certain players which makes them totally blind to reality. Whilst other players are not given the opportunity to perform in a decent team without these little premadonnas then nothing's going to change. No one on this site will influence the selection process. Whilst many open their mouths wide and protest about the poor results it's humurous that their thoughts run parallel with PDiv – an we all know what an abject failure he's been.
As they say – look at the scoreboard. -
24 Nov 2010, 17:24 pmWhilst there is great celebration about the reinstatement of Spies and the retention of MS, Stegman, Aplon and JdV, 196 of 270 bloggers at this time think England will win. Is it just the vociferous bloggers who apparently account for the 27.4% of the 'yay' votes (sic)?
24 Nov 2010, 17:32 pm@OCO(OCO) : Yeah, I agree. Spies comes in a makes the odd meter here and the occasional tackle there. He does this game in and game out. Kanko comes in, does these same meters plus maybe a little more, hardly misses a tackle, but because he didnt score 5 tries from 70 meters out in the one game he gets every year, he is considered as not taking his chances.
Its okey though, as Plum sees him as the best 8th man in a team that has Alberts, Daniels and Deysel. But hey, what does an ol'Kiwi coach know anyway, the Bulls supporters reckon benchpressing and flexing muscles in stupid TV adds make you a great player. -
24 Nov 2010, 17:36 pm@OCO(OCO) : I predict Spies to be tackled backwards at least every 2 out of 3 pickups from the base. And Spies lovers, you who have such great knowledge of the game, pay attention Saturday, put you brandy asside, and stop talkin k@k to your mates, pay attention on how many "almost tackles" Spies makes…you know, those where he sticks out his arm and the person just flops past him…see how many times the scrummie breaks and just drags Spies behind him for the first 3 paces, and the Spies just lets go.
Always funny how Bulls supporters always ignore the fact that their hero tackles like a nancy. Howe did someone put it on News24, built like a brick shithouse, but playes like a Barbie Dollhouse. -
24 Nov 2010, 17:37 pm@Skiballas(Skiballas1) :
The probelm is with the Boks is that they still think they can play with brute strength and zilch intelligence. the game has changed (basically because of the new rules – and for the better) and the Boks still think they can still play 1950′s rugga. Well the recent results show just how stupid this is – as they were shown in the 3N and also the 3 EOYT games this year.
they need to start from scratch and chose a team that can compete and not just try the odd experiment whilst retaining the core of neanderthal players. -
24 Nov 2010, 17:41 pm@Skiballas(Skiballas1) :
LOL! Yeh SPies is all that. the other reason he doesn't run away from his support is that he's so slow that they run past him! Also, as you say, he gets tackled backwards all the time. his best performance this year has been minus 50 meters gained -
24 Nov 2010, 17:48 pm@OCO(OCO) : On Saturday his will have so many negative running meters he will arrive back in SA before the rest of the team…
But on a serious note, it is all about combinations as well. I truely hope to see the Sharks combo play the Babarians next week. I think Kanko, Alberts and Daniels really compliment each other…
Oh yeah, and to the pricks always saying Daniels is a fetcher, and using that to justify Stegmans inclusion…The Sharks didnt seem to struggle to steal balls from the Bulls and Province lately. -
24 Nov 2010, 17:54 pm@Skiballas(Skiballas1) :
Well, if the trio get a run then it would be a good indicator of potential. I'm 'holding thumbs' that they play and Lambie too. However, PDiV has a very strange mind (to say the least) so I wouldn't expect him to change the team, especially if they get beaten by England, as it he would be worried about his stats and not trying to improve the team ahead of the RWC. -

25 Nov 2010, 00:41 amYou'd expect a coach of a national team to do it his way, not Jake's way or Heyneke's way. After all, it's his neck on the line.
If he can't do it his way, why bother with a coach at all?

Recap: 'Dirk Effect' not enough for Mavs to outlast Heat in OT on South Beach
Earl K. Sneed reports from Miami and recaps the Dallas Mavericks' defeat to the defending NBA champion Heat, as leading scorer O.J. Mayo and 11-time All-Star Dirk Nowitzki weren't enough for the Mavs to avoid falling to 0-6 this season in overtime games.
Recap: Mavericks 109 at Heat 119 F/OT
'Dirk Effect' not enough for Mavs to outlast Heat in OT on South Beach
Scoring 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting in just less than 17 minutes of action Tuesday night in Washington, D.C., Nowitzki's first double-figure scoring game off the Dallas bench in his fifth appearance of the season helped the Mavericks bring an end to their six-game losing streak with a 103-94 victory.
But just one night after handing the league-worst Wizards a loss on their home floor, the Mavs faced a much stiffer challenge in the form of the defending champion Miami Heat. And with Nowitzki still rounding into form, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra made it no secret who would be at the center of Miami's defensive game plan.
"I see him change how everybody plays them. It's the 'Dirk Nowitzki Effect' on their offense," Spoelstra said of Nowitzki's reintegration into the Mavs' offensive system. "As a defense you absolutely overreact to every situation that he is in. He has earned that respect. He is working his way into a rhythm. Hopefully it doesn't fully come back tonight."
The 11-time All-Star big man then tried to help the Mavs avenge a 110-95 home loss to the Heat on Dec. 20, coming off the bench for a sixth straight outing after returning from preseason arthroscopic knee surgery. But even with Nowitzki registering a season-high 19 points to along with leading scorer O.J. Mayo's 30 points, the Mavericks (13-20) would fall short in their attempt at revenge after a 119-109 overtime defeat.
With the loss, the Mavericks are now 0-6 this season in overtime games, sitting one shy of tying an NBA record of 10 straight overtime defeats shared by Atlanta, Golden State and Minnesota.
"I think execution down the stretch has been one of our problems all year," Nowitzki said after the loss. "We're 0-6 in overtime and lost a lot of close ones during the season in regulation, so we've got to work on that. … I think it's going to take us more time together to figure those end-of-game situations out."
"Look, it's one or two plays when you're in overtime. And when you're in six of them, it's tough lessons to learn," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle added. "But we've got to learn them and we've got to keep working at it."
With Nowitzki on the bench, the Mavericks opened the night on a tear even without the 7-footer in the starting unit, sprinting to a 13-5 advantage out of the gate. Point guard Darren Collison's and-one runner then lifted the Mavs to a quick double-digit edge, taking an 18-7 lead midway through the opening quarter.
Looking to assert himself after a pedestrian eight points on 3-of-14 from the field and 0-of-5 from 3-point range against the Heat in December, Mayo took over the scoring duties for the Mavs as they continued to keep Miami at bay in the second quarter.
But the Heat would again rally, while frustration led to Nowitzki being assessed a technical foul call for arguing with officials following a no-call. Still, even with James coming alive for the Heat and tying the game with his ability to get to the foul line, the Mavs held a 52-50 edge at the intermission after center Chris Kaman's score with 1.5 seconds in the half.
Making up for lost time after struggling against the Heat in the first meeting, Mayo led all scorers with 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting at the midway mark to better James' 16 points at the other end. Meanwhile, the Mavericks outshot the Heat through the first 24 minutes of action, 42.6 percent to 37.0 percent, in addition to a 29-24 rebounding advantage.
But whatever momentum the Mavs had heading into the halftime break would quickly evaporate as the Heat began the third on a 10-2 run. The Mavs responded, however, briefly catching fire from lone range before the Heat once again regained the advantage behind the Big Three of James, Wade and Chris Bosh.
Eight-time All-Star Vince Carter and Nowitzki then did their best to settle their squad after the Mavs fell behind following a 10-0 Miami run, scoring eight consecutive points to inch the Mavs within one before trailing by a score of 81-79 entering the fourth.
Sitting with 11:15 on the clock, Nowitzki was an onlooker as Mayo broke through with a tough floater in the lane after going scoreless in the third period. The sharpshooter then gave his 7-footer a little more time to rest, lifting the Mavericks to an 88-87 edge on a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 6:46 remaining.
"Look, [Mayo] is going to be aggressive and he's going to score. But I think the important thing for him is to realize that we don't need him just to be a scorer. We need him to be an all-around basketball player. And when he plays like he did most of the time tonight and all of the game in Washington, he's a really high-level player for us," Carlisle said.
Returning with the Mavs up just one and 5:05 left, Nowitzki gladly deferred as Mayo swished in another 3 from the corner to put the Mavs up 97-91 with 4:09 still on the clock. Nowitzki then answered Ray Allen's 3 with a triple of his own to keep the lead at six, before James came right back on the attack to cut the margin to 100-98 in Dallas' favor with 2:19 remaining.
"The way we played most of the game, 40-45 minutes, we played good and hard basketball. We fought the whole time and something about the last three or four minutes, we couldn't get the stops we needed," Kaman admitted. "They put a lot of pressure on you with their defense. They've got a lot of mobile lineups that they come in with, and it's like this whole league is going to small ball. They just put the pressure on us and we didn't do the job that we're supposed to do at the end to finish the game. But when you're up six like that you've got to close it out."
"It shouldn't have got to overtime," Carlisle added. "We're up six with a couple of minutes to go and our inability to keep them out of the paint was our downfall. In that position we've got to be able to keep James and Wade from getting to the rim, and they did it two or three times. So it's disappointing, but the effort was great. The result is tough."
After a 1-of-2 trip to the line by Nowitzki, the big man would fall hard to the floor as Wade stole away a pass, feeding it to Allen to cut the lead to just one with 41.5 ticks left for the Mavericks to hold on. But Nowitzki wasn't done, tying the game at 103-all on a vintage jumper with 3.9 seconds remaining to answer Shane Battier's 3-pointer at the other end.
"We knew we didn't have a timeout, so at that point I saw Darren bring the ball on the wing and I tried to slip the screen but LeBron stayed with me," Nowitzki said while recollecting over the sequence. "So [Collison] didn't really have much going and last second I cut right in front of LeBron, he made a good pass and it was right there at the elbow. And that's where I've made my living over my 15 years is at the elbow. And I was able to get a shot up, but we shouldn't have been down two in that situation."
James' miss from mid-range over Carter as the buzzer sounded then sent the game into an extra period.
With Nowitzki once again on the bench to start overtime, it took less than a minute before Carlisle brought his franchise player back into the game in place of Kaman. Still, with the Heat opening the extra five minutes with a 7-0 run, it didn't take long before the Mavericks found themselves in an uphill battle.
After another 3-pointer by Battier, the Mavericks continued to fight behind Mayo's 29th and 30th points with a jumper over the defensive specialist to keep the visiting team hanging around. But James' attacking three-point play over Nowitzki would essentially ice the game by putting the Heat up 118-109 with 48.6 seconds left before a free throw by Wade provided the final point.
"You know, it's a game of inches," Nowitzki concluded. "And if you make a couple of mistakes down the stretch, a veteran team is going to make you pay. … I thought we had some tough calls down the stretch, but that's how it goes. If you're on the road, you've got to be better than that. And we were up six with a few minutes to go. We've got to be smarter and bring that one on home."
With Mayo finishing with a 12-for-21 shooting night — to go along with six assists — and Nowitzki going 7-for-15 off the bench to lead five Mavericks in double figures, the Dallas team's 43.6 percent still wasn't enough to match Miami's 47.2 percent. In defeat, the Mavs also tallied up a 47-46 rebounding edge but allowed 23 points off their 14 turnovers.
Carter, meanwhile, followed up his 23-point effort one night prior with 15 points in his third straight start, as Kaman recorded a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds to go with Collison's 11 points in the first unit.
"Look, balance has got to be one of our keys. But, when the result is what it is, I'm not into moral victories on the number of guys in double figures and stuff like that. It rings hollow to me. We've got to get the job done better," Carlisle emphatically said.
Continuing to score at least 20 points in every game this season, James led the Heat to a fourth straight regular-season win over the Mavs behind his 32-point, 12-rebound and nine-assist night. Wade added 27 points as four Heat players scored in double figures.
The Mavericks will now return to action at home on Saturday night, hosting No. 1 overall pick Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Hornets. The game will air locally at 7:30 p.m. CT on Fox Sports Southwest. It's the first of four regular-season meetings between the two teams this season. Tickets are still available and can be purchased by calling (214) 747-MAVS (6287) or by visiting Mavs.com.
"We've got to stay at it, we've got to do some of the detail things a little bit better but this has got to toughen us up," Carlisle concluded.

The third-year coach said Monday he had watched a replay of his outburst after the 41-34 victory and saw what had fans upset. He called his actions "unfortunate" and said he had apologized to Kevin Oliver, who works with special teams.
Video of the confrontation went viral on the Internet on Saturday. It shows Tuberville angrily facing Oliver and appearing to strike him after the Red Raiders had difficulty getting the right personnel on the field.
Tuberville, who formerly coached at Ole Miss, said he did not strike Oliver. He said he reached and pulled on Oliver's headset.

Barrington students emigrate through simulated Ellis Island
Station Middle School students simulate the emigration experience Oct. 17 during the school's Immigration Day. Learning activities included a simulated boat experience at Ellis Island, medical exams and job placement. | Joe Cyganowski~For Sun-Times Media

Updated: October 26, 2012 12:32PM
BARRINGTON — Barrington's Station Middle School held its fifth Immigration Day last week, transporting eighth-grade students back to Ellis Island in the late 1800s.
"We do a variety of things to simulate what it was like on Ellis Island," explained history teacher Amy Suessen, who helped start the Immigration Day program.
The learning experience started Oct. 17 with students gathering on a tarp to simulate getting over to America on a boat. Suessen explained that the simulation provided the feel of being on a crowded boat.
"Also, the kids are encouraged to come to school dressed up as people of that time," Suessen added.
Wearing long dresses or donning button-down shirts and fedoras, the eighth-graders applied for passports and took citizenship exams in the library.
Then they were moved to a medical exam station. Many of the students were given a clean bill of health, but others were diagnosed with ailments as diverse as eczema, orthopedic problems and mental disorders.
"It's fun for the kids to make it real," said Lynn West, a parent volunteer.
West and other volunteers were stationed in a work room where students who were deemed healthy enough were assigned jobs like factory worker, nanny, artist and teacher, among other professions.
Although the students knew their jobs prior to going to the workroom, many were surprised to find they actually had to perform those tasks. Seamstresses had to sew buttons onto cloth and nannies had to diaper baby dolls.
"This is very interesting," said eighth-grader Alex Rednicki, who had been assigned a job as a nanny. "We've learned a lot of things about immigration."
Although there were no such job stations at the Ellis Island, Suessen said the school created this extra step to enhance the program.
"It was an opportunity for us to put things in that kids would want to do," she said. "They needed something hands-on."
Eighth-grader Maesyn Poidomani said she enjoyed the program and liked the dress-up component of it.
"It's a really good experience and it's a lot of fun," she said. "It's really interesting to see what it was like back then."
Karen Tischhauser, an eighth-grade English teacher who helped create the program, added that the students are required to write a narrative of their experience for her class.
"A lot of kids will put stuff in from their own family history," said Tischhauser. "I think it's going to make for some great writing."
She explained that she started Immigration Day five years ago because she thought the interactive, hands-on learning experience would leave more of an impression than textbooks and classroom lectures.
"It just seemed like something natural that I wanted to try out," she said.
Suessen said although Immigration Day is primarily an English and history program, the school's math and science teachers also weave the experience into their classes with immigration statistics and the construction of a replica Statue of Liberty.

A total of 28 players from Calhoun, Gordon Central and Sonoraville make up the second ever All-County Football Team.
The Calhoun Yellow Jackets were once again one of the most dominant teams in Northwest Georgia as they won their 12th straight region title and appeared in the Class AA State Championship Game at the Georgia Dome for the fifth straight season, falling just short of a second straight state title with a 31-14 loss to Jefferson.
The tremendously talented Jackets team had distinct leaders on each side of the ball.
On offense, senior quarterback Taylor Lamb directed an explosive attack that averaged close to 43 points per game.
On defense, senior defensive back Donnell Anthony led the way as he roamed the field looking to make plays and create turnovers as the only returning starter from last year's defensive unit.
For their efforts and accomplishments, Lamb and Anthony are being named the Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year, respectively.
Lamb finished his career at Calhoun with a stellar senior campaign which saw him throw for 3,499 yards and 36 touchdowns along with running for 12 touchdowns as well. It's the second straight season Lamb has been selected as the Offensive Player of the Year.
Anthony had a senior season to remember also with 106 total tackles (58 solos), eight interceptions, two fumble recoveries and two defensive touchdowns.
Lamb and Anthony lead the way for 15 First-Team selections for Calhoun.
Gordon Central makes up a big part of the All-County First Team as well with 10 selections after the Warriors went 8-2 and made their second straight appearance in the state playoffs where they narrowly lost in the first round to Morgan County.
The Warriors selection include seniors MJ Reynolds, DJ Prather and Tyshaun Clemmons among several others.
Sonoraville was represented on the First Team also with three selections after a tough season for the Phoenix. Senior running back Jackson Murray is one of those three selections.
Calhoun coach Hal Lamb directed his team to another special season, and for that he is being named the Coach of the Year.
Lamb and the Jackets completed their fourth straight undefeated regular season this past fall before another memorable playoff run which finished in the Georgia Dome for the fifth straight season.
Lamb now has 157 wins in his 15 seasons at Calhoun, and hasn't lost a region game since 2001.
For a look at the full team, with capsules and photos of the first-teamers, see Saturday's Calhoun Times.

CAMDEN — This fall, the Rutgers School of Law–Camden is welcoming a new class of students who represent the future of the legal profession.
In three of four years, law firms will expect those students to become useful associates on their first day of employment. Rutgers–Camden is committed to doing everything it can to ensure that happens.
Law schools have come under scrutiny for not doing enough to prepare students for law practice, but through a comprehensive curriculum that allows its students to gain real world experience, Rutgers–Camden is focused on preparing law students to be more client-ready than ever.
"It's important for students to be client-ready," says J.C. Lore, a clinical professor of law and associate director of lawyering programs at Rutgers–Camden. "In the past, law firms and other employers frequently would bring in newly-graduated students and spend the first year or two dedicating a lot of time and resources to training them. Now, graduates need to be prepared to walk into courtrooms and immediately be effective advocates for their client while having the requisite skills to proceed to trial."
The Rutgers School of Law–Camden offers a wide array of clinical and pro bono programs and courses that encourage students to obtain hands-on experience and represent clients under the supervision of experienced lawyers.
Each year, clinics at the Rutgers School of Law–Camden handle hundreds of cases with student attorneys providing free legal services to the Camden community.
Clinical programs include a Child and Family Advocacy Clinic in which students represent children in child abuse and neglect cases in Family Court in Camden; a Children's Justice Clinic that serves high-risk youth; a Civil Practice Clinic in which students provide representation in civil cases under the supervision of an attorney; and a Domestic Violence Clinic where students provide legal advice and representation to people seeking domestic violence restraining orders in Camden County and occasionally in Burlington and Gloucester counties.
In addition to the clinical programs, Rutgers–Camden offers a revamped trial advocacy course that brings about 30 law practitioners and judges to campus — many of them Rutgers–Camden alumni —to work with students to develop their trial advocacy skills.
"The course gives the students an opportunity to perform two full trials, including a civil jury trial at the end of the semester in front of a real jury, and they learn these skills by actually practicing them," says Lore.
Courtroom experience isn't the only way Rutgers–Camden law students are gaining professional experience. Client readiness also involves non-litigation skills such as drafting wills, preparing bankruptcy filings, and helping Camden residents with basic state and federal income tax returns through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Project.
"Students gain valuable lawyering skills not only in the classroom but through the law school's extensive clinical, externship and pro bono programs," says Eve Biskind Klothen, assistant dean for pro bono and public interest programs at Rutgers–Camden.
For instance, in both the 501(c)(3) Pro Bono Project and the Bankruptcy Pro Bono Project, students learn, after training and observation, how to interview clients and do some counseling as well.
Through the Mediation Project, students complete the New Jersey mandated 18-hour mediation training in order to mediate cases in the local municipal and superior Courts.
"Not only do they become successful mediators and assist in the administration of justice by getting cases off the court's docket, mediation skills such as goal identification and understanding of what clients really want to achieve enhance students' understanding of how to provide the very best representation possible," Klothen says.
The Pro Bono Program also includes many other projects, several of which also provide opportunities to develop and improve lawyering skills.
Up to 20 students annually complete real legal research assignments through Rutgers–Camden's Pro Bono Research Project at Rutgers–Camden, which offers free legal research services to nonprofit organizations, government agencies, or lawyers working pro bono.
"Students benefit from increased opportunities for experiential learning," says Sarah Ricks, a clinical law professor who started the Pro Bono Research Project with Klothen in 2003. "Experiential opportunities in law school can help students develop professional skills."
In 2009, Ricks created a class based on the Pro Bono Research Project model by adding research training, casting students as peer reviewers of one another's written work and oral presentations, and offering academic and intensive writing credit.
Collaboration between legal writing and clinical courses is another way Rutgers–Camden is meeting the market demand for more client-ready law graduates.
This model integrates legal writing courses with clinical work so students can grow as legal writers while also being exposed to a courtroom experience and observing how their writing and research will be applied in practice.
The interdependence and client-centered focus is reflected in the collaboration between the faculty members at the Rutgers School of Law–Camden, as many legal writing professors teach extensively in or work with the clinical and pro bono programs.
"Rutgers–Camden stands in a fairly unique position in that it's had more integration between the clinicians and writing professors than what's common at many other law schools," says Ruth Anne Robbins, a clinical professor and director of lawyering programs at Rutgers–Camden.
The clinical and writing collaborations include a class, taught by a legal writing professor, Jason Cohen, in which students perform research and writing for a Philadelphia nonprofit organization that offers free legal services to low-income members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered communities.
Beth Stephens, a professor of law, instructs a course on human rights advocacy and litigation.
In addition, there are litigation and medical malpractice courses that combine fundamental, skills-based courses with simulation experiences that teach pre-trial litigation skills.
Rutgers–Camden offers several for-credit moot court competitions, including the Hunter Moot Court program, an advanced course in appellate advocacy in which students work in teams on simulated cases that places emphasis on the unique facts of a client's case.
Through the process of learning advocacy on behalf of clients, Robbins says, the students learn the specifics of particular types of litigation or transactional documents.
"Realistically, we can't teach every kind of pleading or contract that's out there," Robbins says. "What we can work on is teaching students how to focus on client needs and how to use problem solving techniques to, for example, navigate the court rules and figure out what might need to go in that complaint or motion, or to negotiate an agreement and write a contract. That is what we call 'client ready'."

Thank You For Your Gift
"What happened to America?" How did the moral compass of our nation began to drift? It was when the American people began to believe some lies. If we hear a lie often enough and regularly enough from so many different arenas; we begin to believe it. That's why Dr. Ed Young has taken the major step of preaching a candid 3-message series that lays bare the lies that American society… and even American believers… have come to accept as truth. Lies about morality, the role of the church, the role of government, the sanctity of life, and more.
As Dr. Young shows in this series, there are steps every believer can take to reestablish God's truth in their home and community—steps we must take to rebuild a moral foundation upon which our nation can stand and flourish!
Contains 3 messages:Can morality be legislated? Is a fetus a baby? Should the church have a say in government?

Longhorns Driven for Charity
Longhorns ambling through The Village Shopping Center in Allen
By Rachel Grayson
Longhorn cattle were driven through the streets of The Village Shopping Center in Allen on Wednesday, October 24. The bovine symbols of Texas were part of a parade that wound its way through The Village and ended at the Allen Event Center. Police cars and a fire engine led the parade, and cowboys and cowgirls drove the cattle on horseback. The parade launched the Tom Thumb Texas Stampede, an event consisting of a charity gala and rodeo performances. Proceeds will benefit children's charities across North Texas, such as ManeGait Therapeutic Horsemanship, River Ranch Educational Charities, and Camp John Marc. The Texas Stampede Charity Gala will take place on Thursday, November 8th from 6:30pm-10:00pm, and rodeo performances will be on Friday, November 9th at 7:30pm and Saturday the 10th at noon and 7:30pm. Concerts will follow the rodeo performances and are included in the price of the tickets, with Tracy Lawrence performing on Friday night and Lee Brice on Saturday night. There will also be family activities such as pony rides and a petting zoo. Tickets can be purchased at Tom Thumb stores, the Allen Event Center box office, and at ticketmaster.com.
