More than half-a-million dollars in office renovations — that's just one example of questionable spending for the state's billion dollar airport improvement project.
"Well, it's state taxpayers' money," acting state auditor Jan Yamane said.
Yamane is talking about expenses from the Department of Transportation for the fiscal year 2009 and 2010. This new audit slams the airports division.
A huge part of the audit covers Parsons Transportation Group, the contractor hired to manage Honolulu Airport's $1.7 billion modernization project.
According to the audit, the DOT put the contractors' need ahead of public interest, resulting in questionable allowances, including rent-free facilities, $570,000 for office renovations and $21,000 for team-building training.
The division also spent nearly $1 million on a field office in Kahului. The auditor believes it cost almost 30 times the amount it should have.
The auditor also criticized the airports' division spending and delays.
For example, DOT did not procure a new security contract, allowing the original contract term limit to exceed by 16 months and more than $37 million.
KHON2 asked, "Do you think the DOT wasted money?"
"I think the DOT could've done a better job and could've gotten a better bang for its buck," Yamane said.
Lawmakers started looking into these allegations years ago and held special hearings, surrounding these issues. Some lawmakers are disappointed this report took three years to complete.
"You know the auditor took a long time to do it, he did a good job finding all the information, but they took way too long and thus, it's a historical document," said Sen. J. Kalani English, (D) Hana, East & Upcountry Maui, Lanai.
In response, the DOT says it has changed its ways and points fingers at the previous administration.
In a letter to the state auditor, the head of the DOT says the department is now charging consultants rent, is diligent on monitoring, reviewing and executing extension requests on a timely basis, and has a stronger centralized leadership role.
The state auditor will review the situation in one year to ensure the DOT has changed its ways.

It is starting to look like Hollywood has only itself to blame for pirated movies.
The top ten pirated movies are mostly those which Big Content, for reasons known only to itself, has refused to release legally but are not available at the movie theatres any more.
A new website called PiracyData.org tracks the most pirated movies of the week links to Can I Stream It? to show whether file sharers could have bought or rented the movie online instead.
PiracyData's chart shows, four out of the 10 most pirated movies cannot be bought legally online. Out of the remaining six movies, three are available for full-priced purchase, but not for rent. None of the top 10 movies can be watched through subscription streaming services such as Netflix.
So, in other words, viewers are pushed toward piracy when they can't buy or at least rent the movies they want to watch.
Each movie on the list came out this year, but is no longer showing in major theatres. With the exception of three films, most of these movies are now in an awkward stage where you can buy them on DVD, but cannot rent them online.
However no one wants to buy DVDs these days. People are uised to pressing a button and streaming a movie instantly.
So Hollywood's idea of withholding new movies from digital rental just to inflate DVD sales is costing them money. Particularly for those like the Lone Ranger which people will watch once and instantly delete it from their brain to make way for more important stuff.
To be fair to Big Content, some of the movies on the list are legally available and are big hits on the pirate sites. It is just that many of them certainly would not exist if Hollywood became a little more 21st century.
Top pirated flicks are (in order of appearance):
Pacific Rim, White house Down, Elysium, The Internship The Lone Ranger, Monsters University, The Mortal Instruments City of Bones, 2 Guns, After Earth and (appropriately last) This Is The End

Workin's Too Hard
On Old Light: Songs from my Childhood & Other Gone Worlds, old-time fiddler Rayna Gellert first established herself as a songwriter and vocalist. Workin's Too Hard, her latest collection of original and traditional songs, carries that promise forward, along a tradition now of her own devising, and demonstrates how deep immersion in our musical past can point the way toward the future of American music. She developed the album in collaboration with co-producer Kieran Kane, multi-instrumentalist Kai Welch (Abigail Washburn, Bobby Bare Jr.), and drummer Jamie Dick (Rhiannon Giddens, Joan Shelley). Recorded old school live in one room by Grammy-winning engineer Charles Yingling (Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard), the sound of Workin's Too Hard is as warm, intimate, and deep as the songs themselves.
Having grown up steeped in American folk music, Gellert's unique voice - both as a writer and singer - embraces a synthesis of the old and the new.
I love Rayna's musical personality, which is deep, funky, and complex. - Béla Fleck

"You know what they say about the Bootheel?" Elsie Arnold asks her police detective friend Bob Ashlock in a scene revealing the possible location of one of the abused victims who escaped rather than testify in Nancy Allen's The Code of the Hills.
Elsie's answer, "They say, if you took the Bootheel of Missouri and gave it to Arkansas, it would raise the IQ of both states," is not going to win fans from both areas but typifies the frustration the author, herself a former assistant prosecutor, had in trying cases including murder and sexual offenses as the first female assistant in the prosecutor's office in Greene County of which Springfield is the county seat and of which the good ole boy network long prevailed.
Dr. Nancy Allen, pictured, is a senior instructor in finance and general business at the College of Business - Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri. She is a faculty advisor for Alpha Kappa Psi, a professional skills fraternity for potential principled business leaders. She received a BSEd in 1978 from Missouri State and in 1980 she received a Juris Doctor from the University of Missouri-Columbia. She is a former Missouri assistant attorney general and assistant Greene County prosecuting attorney. A member of the Greater St. Louis Chapter of Sisters in Crime, Allen has published her first novel.
The novel's setting we are told is in "Southwest Missouri"-- the city of "Barton" in a county in Missouri called "McCown" and although Mac County comes to mind when hearing about cases of incest and espousal abuse the reader doesn't know for sure where exactly he or she is playing voyeur. Even references to the city of Springfield--while familiarity may be titillating--don't offer too many clues, except that the reader may know how active special task forces are in apprehending child abusers just south of that city.
Our heroine we are shown after turning a couple of pages is not a straight-laced girl but one who is coping with the after effects of a binge at the local tavern (Baldnobber's) and lamenting how she'll never drink again.. We are reminded several times that she is an assistant prosecutor in her early 30s who has to work under a publicity seeking but less than competent bitch who got her appointment as prosecutor through a connection with the governor's office. She also is in a sexual relationship with a cop named Noah Strong, presented as a controlling Adonis-figure whose role as a man with a gun pushes his behavior to unacceptable limits, something at first she doesn't seem to recognize, then to know how to avoid. She also finds herself seeking refuge at her parent's house when things seem to get beyond her control.
The alcohol and sex is an escape, of course, from the rigors of presenting a case for prosecution, specifically in keeping a father in jail after he is accused of sexually abusing his daughters. The scenario is all too familiar. The kids want to break the cycle of abuse they are in but they want it to happen with the wave of a wand rather than through their testimony. Their mother is cooperative but conflicted, not lily pure in her motives, and not incapable of substituting one abuser for another as she unsuccessfully tries to break the chain of poverty she is in. Add to the mix a public defender who doesn't like to lose cases as heinous as his client may turn out to be and locals who use scary tactics against anyone seeking to break down their "code of the hills."
This book, a page-turner, has everyone wondering how Ms. Arnold could possibly win her case against all odds. It also becomes a voyage of discovery that, maybe, she, and the reader as well, could do more to help battered women's causes and their fight for survival.
Look for an electronic publication of the novel April 15, 2014. Witness Impulse is an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers (ISBN: 9780062325945). To reserve the book go here

"La Cage Aux Folles" has stood the test of time. Based on the original 1973 French play and the subsequent film versions, the musical by Jerry Herman and Harvey Fierstein has had a long shelf life since it debuted in 1983. The story of Georges, the owner of a posh nightclub on the French Riviera, and his partner Albin, a performer who plays the club's star Zaza, has earned a steady stream of Tony Awards through remounts and touring productions.
The latest relaunch hits Denver this week with film, television and stage stars George Hamilton and Christopher Sieber in the two lead roles. We caught up with the pair after their Denver debut to talk about the demands of the two roles (Sieber has played both), the durability of the material and the enthusiasm of crowds on the latest tour.
This is a story that's been told many times on stage and on film since its debut in 1973. What was your first experience with "La Cage Aux Folles"?
Christopher Sieber: I first saw the French movie when I was 18 years old with subtitles, which is the best way to see that movie. Don't do the dubbed version because their voices are hilarious. I had heard of the musical "La Cage Aux Folles," but I had never actually seen it. I'd seen "The Birdcage," but I'd never seen the musical when I went into it on Broadway. I was going to go back into the Broadway show "Chicago" and play Billy Flynn, and I was at the box office waiting for my ticket to go refresh my memory. My phone rings and it was my agent saying, "They don't want you to see 'Chicago' today, they want you to see 'La Cage Aux Folles' across the street.
My friend Harvey Fierstein was playing Zaza at the time. I saw the show, he was terrific. Harvey dragged me in his dressing room, shut the door and asked, "Are you going to do this show with me? Jeffrey Tambour just up and left. I need you to help me."
Seven days later I was starring opposite Harvey Fierstein on Broadway. The first time I saw the show was going into it. I never expected to be in the show, and I never expected to be Zaza. They said, "We're doing a tour. Are you interested?" Harvey said, "I can't do it," and they came to me a couple of days later and said, "Would you like to play the other part. I think we have George Hamilton." I said, "You know what, that sounds like a blast. Let's go do it." Here I am, a year and a half later, having played both parts in the same production. I'm the only actor who's ever done that.
George Hamilton: What's interesting to me is that I'll be on some nights and hear my lines coming out of him. I've got to say, "What was that?"
I had worked for (producers Barry and Fran) Weisslers, also as Billy Flynn in "Chicago" a couple of times. It had been the only Broadway involvement I'd had except for working with Alan Jay Lerner, Julie Stein and David Merrick for other things years back. I came to New York with the theory that I was going to look at two or three Broadway shows and make a decision. I went there with the theory that I was going to go to Broadway and replace Kelsey Grammar – that was the bait and switch. So I went there, I saw two performances and they varied greatly – I was so surprised.
I didn't quite get it. I'm not that savvy. I thought it was a funny show, but it's not really equal. My character (Georges) does a lot of spade work, he lays out a lot of plot. The trick for me is not to say it too fast so they don't hear it and not to say it too slow so it's laborious. It's got to be there so it doesn't look like you're laying it out.
I hated the first act. I thought, at least in the second act, I'm starting to be involved. But what happened was, I started to find a base to it after a while. It started to become more interesting.
I don't think I understood the subtlety, the difference of the characters. It was like Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.
I have to ask Chris, what do you feel is the harder character to play?
CS: Both of them are hard to play. Georges in the ringmaster; you really are in control even though it looks like you're completely out of control. You're the producer, you're the director, you're the father, the lover, the husband. You're all that stuff and you're just trying to keep them all in one room. It's a lot. Georges is a difficult part to play.
It doesn't get that credit when people talk about it.
So how did you get over your hesitations about the character?
GH: It's incredibly hard and I found it unrewarding, but I'm so strange. If something isn't going to work, I will fight until I die. If I can't get it, I'll try to go back and find out why not. Doing it with Chris, my initial instinct as an actor was to compete and play out. I realized that was not right.
It took me a while to figure that out. I started realizing that the more I centered on him, the more the relationship developed. He can play it out and play it over the top and big.
There were times when they said we didn't have chemistry, and I believe we have very good chemistry now. There were times when they said we didn't have presence, and I couldn't figure why.
It takes a while to get the medium. Touring is much harder than Broadway.
This basic plot has enjoyed success as a traditional play, several films and a Tony Award-winning musical. In your mind, what makes this story so durable?
CS: Bottom line is that I think it is such a great story. It's a story about love and family. It's a terrific story, and there's Jerry Herman's score. You can't stop singing those songs.
GH: I was told that it was going to be very edgy, that it was going to be supported by an enormous amount of gays and that we'd have to fight city hall. I thought, well does this mean bodyguards?
But it has been the nicest experience. We've never had one incident of any kind. Au contraire, one day we were on stage in Delaware and I saw things that looked like rocks coming at me. We picked on up – it was a bloomer; 85-year-old women were throwing bloomers with their names on the back.
CS: They had come prepared.
GH: It's become an American theater classic. It's like "Our Town" now. It's about family and love and being who you are, being true to who you are. I think it's timely in the sense of gay marriage, but I don't think it's about all the things it was before.
I think this is something that anybody can come and see and enjoy.
"La Cage Aux Folles" plays through Sept. 16 at the Buell Theater, 1101 13th St. in Denver. Tickets start at $25. Information: 303-893-4100 or denvercenter.org.

The former basketball coach, fired amid racial controversies, has petitioned the courts for her job.
By ANTONYA ENGLISH
© St. Petersburg Times, published May 3, 2001
TAMPA -- Four months after she was fired for retaliating against a former player, Jerry Ann Winters is fighting back.
The former South Florida women's basketball coach has asked an administrative law judge to determine if USF had just cause when she was fired in December.
Winters, 52, filed a petition in February against the Board of Regents and USF, asking that the decision to terminate her employment be reviewed. Winters is now a real estate agent with Century 21, Shaw Realty Group.
Winter's attorney, Robert F. McKee, could not be reached for comment Wednesday. John W. Campbell, the attorney representing USF, did not return phone calls to his office.
The administrative proceeding is a standard due process review for any employee of a governmental agency. As coach at USF, Winters was employed by the state and Board of Regents.
The case is in the hands of Judge William F. Quattlebaum, who oversaw a hearing April 23-25 and is expected to render a decision within six weeks.
Winters, who was to begin her 25th season of coaching, was the center of a bitter racial discrimination controversy for nearly five months before she was fired.
She was suspended with pay in October after a university investigation concluded she dismissed player Dione Smith in retaliation for participating in a 1999 internal review of racial discrimination claims against the coach.
Last November, Winters appealed the decision rendered by the university's Equal Opportunity Affairs office. A month later, her appeal was denied and she was fired immediately by then-USF athletic director Paul Griffin.
Since August, eight former players have filed federal racial discrimination lawsuits against the university and Winters. In March, Griffin was forced to resign.

* On a bowl, combine the flour, salt, cold water and oil. Mix into a ball.
* On a flat surface, roll flat the pastry and cover the chicken pastel mixture and seal the sides by pressing on the edges. Remove excess pastry.
* Punch small holes on the pastry to let out steam during baking then brush with beaten egg.
* Bake until golden brown (about 15 minutes).
Is that your mom's recipe? I like the chicken pastel from Contis.
^ how much sa conti's?thankz...
We also have a version na hindi pot pie! Alisin lang yung flour!
That by itself is exquisite in taste!
^ ganun din gawa ng tita ko...pero creamy yung gawa kasi nilalagyan ng milk...try it super yummy...
There are variations with Campbell's Cream of Mushroom! Sobrang sarap!
I like Chicken and Lengua Pastel. My mom taught me how to make it but I have my own version. Sometimes I go the extra mile and make the crust.
I agree with the Campbell's Cream of Mushroom. It really makes a difference.
There's a Muslim dish in Mindanao also called Pastel. It is rice with chicken (I think cooked adobo style but dry) then wrapped in banana leaf. Really good.
That sounds interesting
How do you cook the pastel dish in Mindanao?

Championship 2014: Dublin
Manager: Jim Gavin (2nd year).Titles: Leinster (holders); 24 All-Ireland (holders).2014 league: Lost two matches to finish 4th in Division One winners.Odds and Ends: All-Ireland evens and Leinster 1 to 7.Bookies say: Leinster and All-Ireland champions.What bookies said in 2013: Leinster and All-Ireland champions.2013 championship: Beat Meath in Leinster final 2-15 to 0-14, and Mayo in All-Ireland final 2-12 to 1-14.First outing: v Wicklow/Laois, 8th June.
Cormac Costello
Prior to their irresistible play-off displays, the approach to the league was lower-key and injury and club commitments allowed Jim Gavin an expansive selection policy. Ciaran Kilkenny's loss can be offset by the return of Alan Brogan and Cormac Costello. Open-plan defensive policy at times a concern but they have a better choice of forwards, more extensive bench options and more gears than any of their rivals.
Last good day: Recently every day is a good day.

I used to love this game SO HARD as a kid. Raise your hand if you're an 80's kid!
"Mom! I need food now! My little legs are so weak!!" My 7-year-old son eats like his dad (and is dramatic like his mom) so I wasn't surprised when he came barging in the door after school as if he were auditioning for Oliver! He then proceeded to eat half the kitchen and only quit when he realized the spaghetti he was chewing on was the plastic pile that came with Jelly Bean's play kitchen. The next morning at breakfast I prepared his usual feast only to have him shrug and say, "I'm not hungry this morning" and wander off to put Legos down his Captain America costume (I don't question it as long as they're dressed in something).
Now compare that with this recent conversation:
Friend: You want to go get something to eat?
Me: I dunno. Are you hungry?
Friend: Eh. I could eat. Are you?
Me: Maybe. What were you thinking?
Friend: I dunno. I'm kind of munchy.
Me: It's okay, we're in Colorado, it's legal now.
Friend: Har har. Actually I'm probably not hungry for reals, I ate a ton today! But I'm starving – isn't that terrible??
Me, what I WISH I'd said: No, Ivan was terrible. Age two is terrible. (Lie, it's totally age three. Two is a cakewalk compared to the Tasmanian devil threes.) Going as Miley Cyrus for Halloween is terrible. But your hunger is not terrible!
Me, what I actually said: Blerghhh.
And my brain short-circuited. End scene.
Figuring out if I'm hungry, when I'm hungry, what I'm hungry for and then when I stop being hungry has been probably the most important lesson I've learned and the hardest struggle I've had over the past few years of Intuitive Eating. Being a basic bodily function and all you'd think this would be easy but sadly many of us lose the ability to really understand our hunger cues sometime between childhood and grownup-hood. (We also lose the ability to sleep in bizarre positions which is another child superpower I wish I still had. My same son once fell asleep with his head and torso on his bed and his feet on his bookcase leaving his body dangling in midair. Awesome.)
I have hunger on my mind because today I'm fasting. Today isn't "Fast Sunday" – the first Sunday of each month is designated for LDS (a.k.a. Mormons) to go 24 hours without any food or drink, Intermittent Fasting: we're so on trend! – but sometimes we do it when we're really worried about someone or something and praying extra hard for answers. It's a way to show our devotion, focus our energy on spiritual matters and also do a little bit of service (we donate the money we would have spent on food to the poor in our area). So while I fast primarily for spiritual reasons, I do see other benefits from this as well and one of the best (and worst) is remembering what real bodily hunger feels like. It kinda sucks, frankly.
I went for a long time not knowing what this felt like. When I was in the grip of various eating disorders, I remember that hazy, light-headed, exhausted past-hunger-to-starvation feeling. And then when I was Getting Healthy By The Book By Golly and eating 6 mini-meals a day every three hours like clockwork, I remember always feeling kinda full but never quite sated. At the time I was experiencing these feelings I thought both situations were ideal – "I'm so hungry I don't feel hungry anymore! Whee! Wait… how am I driving a car?" and then "I eat so much I never feel hungry! Whee! Wait… am I eating a cold chicken breast with my fingers while driving a car?" The problem with my thinking (and with myriad diet tips, frankly) is that feeling hungry is a good thing. It's your body talking to you and telling you that everything is in proper working order and oh by the way, time for more fuel please.
Everyone hears their hunger differently, something I was reminded of as I read Carrie Underwood's interview in this month's Women's Health.
"Most songwriters carry notebooks filled with jotted lyrics. In Carrie's striped one you'll find an impeccably recorded food journal. "It's the most important thing in my arsenal," she says. "[Most people's] stomachs say, 'Hey! I'm full! Stop sending food down!' Mine doesn't do that." The journal helps her make informed decisions.
Clearly whatever she's doing is working great for her! She's always so glow-y!
I was once in Carrie's same position. No, not as a world-famous country singer with a voice as golden as my shiny locks. Just with the obsessive food journaling. Except I parted ways with my journal after having an epiphany reading my beloved grandmother's journals. She was (bless her) a lifelong bulimic and when my sister and I found her diaries after her death, we were treated to page after page after page of her food. What she ate. What she didn't. What she wished she'd eaten. When she barfed. It made me realize that I don't want to leave that kind of legacy for my grandkids. (Instead I want to leave them with years of embarrassing blog posts! Suh-weeet!) Now, I'm not judging Carrie – I think it's awesome it works for her and that she's happy with it. (At least I hope she's happy.) But it just didn't work for me. That stupid journal dictated my whole life. Getting rid of it was one of the most liberating things I've ever done!
All the food noise in our culture makes hunger hard to hear. We tell ourselves we're "bad" if we eat something good. We tell ourselves we're "good" if we don't eat something bad. It's crazy-making. These past few days, after an unfortunate incident with the Halloween candy that I'd rather not remember but the two empty bags of Starburst Candy Corn* can explain, I decided I needed to really focus on my hunger cues. Rather than look to something external to tell me when I'm hungry, like Carrie's journal, I'm trying to pay more attention to my body. I'm still learning to trust it but here's what I've learned so far:
– Hunger is the need for fuel.
– Hunger is not the need for comfort, entertainment, stress relief, novelty or love.**
– I feel real hunger in my stomach – it tightens and growls – and not as much in my mouth. When I see candy my mouth waters but my stomach doesn't usually join in.
– If I get too hungry the only thing I want to eat is sugar and simple carbs (which inevitably gives me a killer case of the tireds if I indulge too much).
– If I eat when I'm not hungry I feel a little sick.
– Real hunger ebbs and flows. A craving can be super persistent but true hunger does not feel like an emergency. Like today, when I choose not to eat for 24 hours I will obviously get very hungry and yet reminding myself of what I'm doing and why often makes the hunger pangs subside for a bit. And then they return in an hour or two.
– When other people around me are eating it makes me want to eat too, even if I'm not hungry.
– The "I'm full" signal is harder to hear than the "I'm hungry" one but it is there. I'd thought that thanks to all my decades of eating disorders I'd completely damaged the mechanism to feel satiety but when I eat quietly and am not distracted I've found that even I can hear it.
– When I eat past the point of fullness it's most often out of a sense of deprivation, i.e. "This candy tastes so amazing but I can't eat it ever again because it's so bad for me (never mind I'm taking candy…from a baby)!" Eating because I feel deprived never ends well. In fact, one of the trickiest parts of IE for me is trying to mitigate feeling deprived.
All of this made me curious- what does hunger feel like to you? How did you learn to hear your hunger? Does a food journal help you know when you're hungry? Do you love Candy Corn or hate it??
* I HAAATE Candy Corn. It's just colored wax – and ugly colored wax at that! But this year Starburst invented "fruity" candy corn which… are basically just seasonally inappropriate JELLY BEANS. They are pure, sugary deliciousness.
**So is it wrong to eat for reasons besides hunger? A lot of diet gurus and books say yes but I don't know that I agree. I do think there is a time and a place for it. Food can be comforting, entertaining, soothing, and novel and I think using it for that purpose on occasion is fine. So much of food is about the experience of eating it, right? But I think that when I do this I need to be perfectly honest with myself about why I'm using food in this way and if it is really the best thing to help me feel better (and often the answer is no). Emotional eating in my book isn't always harmful but it's harmful when eating is all you do to deal with your emotions.

Help Your Gifted Child Having Math Learning Disability Triumph His Curriculums
Have you noticed your child saying that he hates math, he can't get math or he don't want to do math? Compared to other facets of learning like reading, parents are tolerant towards their child not taking interest in the subject. Not to forget, math is the most essential subject of your child's curriculum and is highly significant in your child's life and his future prospects. But, a question that might pop up in the minds of many would be that why does your special child show so much of disinterest in learning math?
The answer lies in the fact that your child is having math learning disorder or in other words Discalculia. Dyscalculia is scientifically known as math learning disability. It is a state where people puzzle to identify math symbols and concepts. The fundamental sign incorporates reading and language skills. The sufferers often have obscurity in basic calculation. There are many parents who might think that sending their children to elementary school teachers is the best solution for their dilemma. But they are not aware of the fact that the teachers themselves have proved to be uncomfortable with the subject. In fact, many elementary teachers suffer from math unease themselves. Therefore, most elementary teachers are not good authorities on the mathematical learning and approach of their students.
A blend of a teacher's poor understanding of mathematical conception, insufficient knowledge of teaching techniques in mathematics, and incomplete knowledge about altering teaching approaches to reach learners with a usual learning profile, can create depressing results for special needs children. Other than creating curiosity of the students in the subject, the incompetence of the teachers will further demoralize them.
There are two categories of dyscalculia, problem in remembering basic math facts and arithmetic weak point. The basic fact problem is happening to students who still persist to count with their hand. Meanwhile, arithmetic weakness is the inability in performing computation appropriately. Students who are familiar this problem didn't have any difficulty in basic math. To trim down the problem, they should use paper and pencil in finishing the test. Another math learning disability is written symbols. The students have complexity in writing official and easy math symbols. It's intricate for them to use pencil, paper, or abstract concepts to eradicate the problem.
Students who are facing difficulty in writing symbol normally could give an answer verbally. So, the deception for them is exercising concrete examples. Initiate new math theory total with the illustration. When you tutor student with math learning disability, just carry out a verbal instruction for every step of written training. Another step to assist them is by using graph paper. Illustrate that their problem can be resolved in many ways.
Parents can themselves help in treating their child's learning disabilities. All you have to do is to lay pressure on the significance of the subject for their future prospects. Further if you think that you cannot comprehend the nature of the topic your child brings home for practice, it would be advised that you should move out of the straight teaching role and hire a professional who has an experience in teaching math to children with a similar disability.

Salute Juan Cole, not Ken Pollack or Fred Kagan
Amid the disastrous manner in which most of the American media aquitted itself in enabling the Iraq war, and then for months after exulting in its "successful" execution until the insurgency took hold, there were a number of honorable exceptions. And Tom Engelhardt, whose web site TomDispatch remains an honorable exception in a media world that has long abandoned deep, critical thought, offers this great list as part of the intro to Greg Mitchell's critical examination of Iraq war coverage. I was meaning to do something like this myself, but I'll rely on Tom!
He begins by noting the New York Times' pathetic attempt to assess the war last Sunday:
Just imagine: You run a flagship national newspaper, the New York Times. It's the fifth anniversary of President Bush's catastrophic invasion of Iraq. Your own record of reportage in the period leading up to the invasion was not exactly sterling. So, for a change of pace, you decide to turn most of your double op-ed page in your Sunday "Week in Review" over to people who can look back thoughtfully on the misapprehensions of that moment.
But who? Now, that's a tough one. You want "nine experts on military and foreign affairs" who can consider "the one aspect of the war that most surprised them or that they wished they had considered in the prewar debate." Hmm, sounds like an interesting idea. Of course, one option would be to gather together an involved crew who, even before the invasion began, saw in one way or another that problems, possibly disaster, lay ahead. That would be a logical thought?
?But it wouldn't be the Times, which this past Sunday chose to ask a rogue's gallery of "experts" who led (or cheerled) us deep into the war and occupation what surprised them most. Leading off those pages were Richard Perle, nicknamed "the Prince of Darkness," L. Paul Bremer III, the former American viceroy of Baghdad, who so brilliantly disbanded the Iraqi Army and much of the country as well, not to speak of invasion and occupation cheerleaders Frederick Kagan, Danielle Pletka, and Kenneth M. Pollack. With the exception of Pollack, all of them unsurprisingly pointed the finger elsewhere or claimed they were really on the mark all along.
So, just in case the Times has a sudden, bizarre urge on some future anniversary to ask a cast of characters who didn't drive us into the nearest ditch to look back, it seems worthwhile to start on a list of suggestions for its editors.
He salutes Mitchell's own efforts at Editor and Publisher, then adds the following list:
My list would be long indeed, but it would certainly include: the Knight Ridder (now McClatchy) reporters Warren Stroebel and Jonathan Landy in Washington, as well as Tom Lasseter, Hannah Allam, and others in Iraq who never had a flagship paper to show off their work, but generally did far better reporting than the flagship papers; Seymour Hersh, who simply picked up where he left off in the Vietnam era (though this time for the New Yorker); Riverbend, the young Baghdad blogger who gave us a more vivid view of the occupation than any you could ordinarily find in the mainstream media (and who has not been heard from since she arrived in Syria as a refugee in October 2007); Jim Lobe who covered the neocons like a blanket for Inter Press Service; independents Nir Rosen and Dahr Jamail, as well as Patrick Cockburn of the British Independent, who has been perhaps the most courageous (or foolhardy) Western reporter in Iraq, invariably bringing back news that others didn't have; the New York Review of Books, which stepped into some of the empty print space where the mainstream media should have been (with writers like Mark Danner and Michael Massing) and was the first to put into print in this country the Downing Street Memo, in itself a striking measure of mainstream failure; and Juan Cole, whose Informed Comment website was so on the mark on Iraq that reporters locked inside the Green Zone in Baghdad read it just to keep informed.
Amen to that. But as Bill Moyers noted a while back, having been wrong about Iraq has hardly been a handicap for the career of most of the "pundits" preferred by the mainstream media. Frankly, looking at the career trajectories of the likes of Bill Kristol, Max Boot, Charles Krauthammer, Peter Beinart and George Packer, I'd say that, if anything, having been wrong about Iraq appears to be something of a job-requirement in the mainstream punditocracy.
