Let's be honest, okay? This happens to all of us. We might not call it writer's block, but the truth is that we all have our off days.
But what if I were to tell you that there are certain strategies that you can use whenever you have no idea what to write about.
Read on.
Great artists' steal…
I'm just going to be extremely honest: the novice wants to be original and brilliant so bad that he often fails to realize that he only got kind of good by imitating others.
Good artists copy, great artists steal.
I am not advising you to plagiarize other bloggers, I am simply telling you to see the information to acquire differently. Like Jordan so nicely put it, everything you read, see, or hear is food for your creativity.
Now, here's what you can do with someone else's content:
- Curate content. Go to your ten favorite blogs, and then find your favorite post on each of them. Publish a post listing these top ten posts, and explain why you like them. You don't even have to think about being creative, and everyone you feature there will appreciate it.
- Ask friends for ideas. Reach out to your friends, and ask them what they'd like you to write about. Do a bit of brainstorming with online friends as well.
- Ask your readers. Yup. When you have no idea what to write about on your blog you can write a "what would you like me to write about" post
- Do an interview. It's a lot easier to write a few interview questions than it is to write an entire post! Plus, it can be a great way to connect with really interesting people.
- Ask for a few guest posts. This is a great source of content, and it's easier than most people think – find a few blogs that are your size or smaller, whose content you really like, and invite them to write a guest post for you. That's about it.
- Write a review. A movie, a book, a TV show, or a product that you'd be happy to endorse. No need to get too creative, just explain what you like about it, and why. And then write what you don't like about it, and why.
- Link to old posts. Write a short list of your old favorite posts that newer readers probably haven't read. You can even do a quick deconstruction, and explain what you were thinking when you wrote the posts, what worked, and what didn't, what would you do differently.
Use two unrelated dots and force yourself to connect them
Okay, so maybe you do want to come up with a great original idea to write about, but it just isn't happening.
In that case, try to take two unrelated things and force them together into a really interesting post.
Connect dots that are far apart from each other. Yes, one of them has to be about something your readers would like to read about, and the other one can be something unrelated, but still familiar to your audience.
What you end up with are posts that kind of go like this:
- Donald Trump's Guide to Blogging
- Don Draper's Guide to Fantastic Writing
- The Fight Club Guide to Blogging
Are you starting to see the pattern?
Sometimes inspiration does not have to find your working
Stop trying to work. Just stop. Don't force your brain to come up with words and ideas. Do the following instead:
- Go for a walk. Or a run. Getting your heart rate up is a great way to grow your brain. And meditate. And, yeah, exercise actually does make your brain bigger.
- Take a shower. Relax your body, and your mind will follow. Cliche? Perhaps. But if it works, who cares?
- Watch a movie/read a book/listen to music. Just going to say it again: feed your brain. I use the three mediums daily (read information, listen to it, and watch it) in order to stay inspired and come up with ideas to blog on.
When you do have ideas… write like crazy
When you feel inspired, write as much as you can. Write blog posts and save them as drafts to be used specifically when you have no idea what to blog about.
Which of these methods have you tried? Which one would you try?
Let me know in the comments section below.

A Middle Eastern Primitive School of Art
http://www.adibfattal.com My site is made up of two subject matters, which are villages and cities. The majority of these cities and villages are inspired by Middle-Eastern architecture and life. My villages tend to be almost all my imagination, while the city ones often have a real existing landmark. However this landmark I make richer and more intricate then it is in the real world. I also sometimes paint fantasy paintings, however it remains having the same style as my primitive art paintings.

About the course
Our ten-month Secondary School Direct programme is a blend of school-based teaching practice, in-school Professional studies, and University study sessions. The programme is carefully designed in conjunction with Bath Spa University to support you to work with the 11-16 age range, and also offering, where possible, the opportunity to experience A Level teaching.
Our students are placed in two secondary schools during the year, and also spend a week in a primary school. In each placement school you will be supported by a professional tutor and a subject mentor, as well as a university-based tutor. During your placements you will spend one afternoon each week at St John's Marlborough for Professional Studies sessions, in addition to scheduled Professional Studies days throughout the year. You will also spend two blocks of time at Bath Spa university, in September/October and again in January/February.
We are proud of our School Direct training programme and offer a range of benefits including:
- A bespoke 13 day Professional Studies programme including two Teaching School Days where primary and secondary trainees meet in each other's settings to explore current issues in teaching, including wellbeing, EAL, AEN & Mental Health
- Weekly meetings with other trainees and your Professional Tutor, focusing on key topics
- The benefit of the expertise of a Professional Tutor in your school as well as a University Subject Tutor
- An excellent training base, situated at St John's Marlborough, and give you access to our CPD programmes; keynote speakers, subject training, presentations on hot topics.
- Highly experienced and friendly subject mentors
- A ready-made, friendly support group with other Excalibur trainees, with an opportunity to meet the group at a school-based induction event prior to starting the course in September
- Confidence that we will work hard to match you to placement schools that will be convenient for you and your family commitments
- Knowing where your placement schools will be before the course starts
- Excellent prospects: we work hard to ensure your training year makes you stand out at interview.
We receive extremely positive feedback from our students. Comments include:-
- "The support network is great and I know I will always have someone I can approach if I need help"
- "The information we have been given is very well structured"
- "My questions and concerns were answered before I had even thought to ask"
Interview process
We carefully consider all the applications we receive, in conjunction with the Admissions team at Bath Spa University. If you are invited to interview we will notify you by email and on UCAS. You will normally need to allow up to 3 hours in school, normally at St John's Marlborough, for your interview.
The interview process includes a short observed teaching task with a group of students, usually from Year 7 or 8, a written task, and a formal interview. You will be told in advance about the content of the teaching task and the age group you will be teaching, as well as any other relevant information to enable you to demonstrate your skills and qualities. You will need to bring your original exam certificates with you to be checked, as well as some personal identification. This would be checked and passed to Bath Spa University only if we intend to offer you a place on the course.
Following your interview we will aim to notify you of the outcome on UCAS within 2 working days. Offers may be conditional on completing your degree, or on completing a Subject Knowledge Enhancement course.
If you are offered a place and choose to accept it, we will then contact you with further information about the course.
How school placements work
We aim to match placements to our students' individual needs. Many of our students have family or childcare commitments and we aim to place them in schools that mean travelling time will be kept to a minimum.
You will have two placements. The longest, your Home Placement, will usually be at St John's Marlborough, and the shorter, Complementary Placement, will be at one of our partner schools. In each school you will have a designated mentor and you will be in regular contact with Excalibur Teaching School, through weekly professional studies sessions at St John's Marlborough.
During your placements you will watch experienced teachers in action, teach classes from initially taking the register, completing a short section of the lesson and gradually moving on to taking the whole class for full blocks of lessons, experience wider school life, have an experienced personal mentor to guide you.
Financial support
You could be eligible for either:
- a scholarship of £28,000
- a bursary of £26,000
With a scholarship or bursary, you'll also get early career payments of £2,000 in your second, third and fourth years of teaching (£3,000 in some areas of England).
To qualify for a scholarship you'll need a degree of 2:1 or above in Mathematics or a related subject. For a bursary you'll need a 2:2 or above in any subject.
You can't claim both a bursary and a scholarship - you can only claim one.
Find out how to apply for a scholarship. You don't need to apply for a bursary - if you're eligible, you'll automatically start receiving it once you begin your course. Find out how you'll be paid.
You may also be eligible for a loan while you study – note that you'll have to apply for undergraduate student finance.
Find out about financial support if you're from outside the UK.
Minimum academic requirements to apply for a PGCE are:
- 2.ii degree or above
- GCSE or equivalent qualifications in English and Mathematics at grade C or above.
- GCSE or equivalent qualification in the subject to be taught is desirable.
- A Level or equivalent qualification in the subject to be taught is desirable.
Some experience of working with children/young people and the ability to work as part of a team would be beneficial. While you do not have to have any experience in schools, we strongly recommend you have experience of teaching before applying, for your own benefit.
Personal qualities
Our aim is to train you to embrace the professional qualities and attributes necessary to be an outstanding teacher, and to maximise the outcomes of the children and young people you teach.
Becoming a teacher is very much about being a team member and this will be reflected over the tenure of your programme. You will need to work effectively on joint projects, work collaboratively as a member of a team, and going forward in your career, accept leadership roles. You will need excellent communication skills and the ability to remain professional at all times, without exception.
Other requirements
Successful applicants:
- may receive offers conditional on completing a Subject Knowledge Enhancement course (where your degree does not closely match your chosen subject, or where there is a significant gap between completing your degree and commencing the PGCE).
- will be required to complete a Health Questionnaire, ensuring trainees have the health and physical capacity to teach and will not put children and young people at risk of harm.
- will be subject to Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) barred list and criminal records check.

Opening Ceremony
The story of Opening Ceremony the brand begins with Opening Ceremony the boutique, which was co-founded by college buddies, and fellow fashion fanatics, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon in 2002. Located in lower ,Manhattan, the Opening Ceremony store was built around a unique concept: to pit the sales of emerging designers—both local and global—against each other to see who's country could make the most money. This same playful, forward-thinking mindset went into creating the company's complementary in-house line, known for turning out punchy, of-the-moment pieces—platformed Opening Ceremony shoes and graphic clothing are the definition of statement making—you simply can't find anywhere else.

On January 7 and 14, the Board of Selectman will meet at the Early Childhood Learning Center on Ramsdell Lane for a Public Hearing on a proposed bond article for $2,330,000 for renovation and reconstruction of the Old Town Hall. A public hearing will be held on the proposed budget and warrant article.
The Building Committee has recommended the renovation of the existing Town Hall over new centers on either the Clarke-Goodwill property or the land behind Calef's. A forum was held at the ECLC with more than 70 citizens attending prior to the recommendation. The people at the forum supported a new site rather than renovating the Town Hall. If you would like more information, the town website has the report from the building committee as well as a powerpoint from the November 14 forum and the minutes from the forum. Go to: http://www.barrington.nh.gov/Pages/index.
Barrington families are invited to join the library for family movie day on Saturday, January 19th at 1:00pm. The movie will be Tim Burton's hilarious and offbeat tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life. Pick up your ticket at the library front desk while supplies last (Barrington residents only) – space is limited -- please let them know if you cannot use your ticket so we can offer that spot to someone else. Call 664-9715 for more information.
The Barrington School District will be debuting a new website this month. Before the holiday break, students practiced writing by writing letters to military troops. Students and families also contributed to the gift drives run by the Town of Barrington and the Barrington Chamber of Commerce and also collected food for the Barrington Food Pantry.
Over the past month, several meetings were held regarding the upcoming need for a new contract for high school students. Oyster River High School, Coe-Brown Northwood Academy, Dover High School and Somersworth High School all had opportunity to present to community members. Superintendent Kushner created a power point to compare the 4 schools by many factors. This power point can be found at http://www.sau74.org/high-school-updates. The School Board is in negotiations with the districts now.
Did you know that 16% of Barrington residents work in town but 76% work out of town and 8% commute out of state? The average commute time for residents is 28 minutes.

One hour away from Malacatán, San Marcos (365 kilometers from Guatemala City), there is a valley called Quetzalí. The highway to Quetzalí is surrounded by trees and mountains, and the weather is very hot. The view of the green and yellow blossoming trees makes the trip very pleasant and unique.
As I step out of my vehicle, the sun is shining bright and warm, but it's not as warm as the volunteers' welcome at the child development center I've arrived at. The volunteers greet me with a big, cold bowl of mixed fruit and a large glass of icy orange juice.
As I walk from classroom to classroom, smiling children greet me. I reach a steep staircase to the second floor and climb it. This floor is very small compared with the first, and it has only one classroom. A fast, rhythmic sound comes from one small room — thump, thump, thump, thump, thump. It's a tailoring workshop where children between 11 and 16 years of age operate around 25 high-speed sewing and stitching machines.
The second floor is not as cool as the first because it has a sheet metal roof that significantly warms the room. The rays of sunlight get through every space and hole in the old walls. But the children do not seem to care about the temperature. They are immersed in the sewing and stitching chores they have.
As I walk past each child at work, I notice that each one is very happy to be there. The scene is very colorful since all the clothes the children have made are hanging on the walls for everyone to see and appreciate the beauty.
Then everybody focuses their attention at the front of the classroom, where the workshop teacher, Moisés Fuentes, stands. He is a good-natured man who takes his job very seriously. He is devoted to teaching the children how to manufacture clothing for their own use and for earning an income in order to be self-supporting.
As I look around, it is very clear that every student wears at least one piece of clothing that he or she has made, and the students feel pleased, too.
Help Families Affected BY COVID-19
Families in poverty have no safety net in times of crisis. Help provide food, medical care and support during this pandemic.
Tutor Moisés has been the workshop teacher for almost seven years. He works very hard and is very proactive, so the children line up to enroll in the workshop. Moisés has seen many young people who were part of the sewing workshop graduate from the child development center. Most of those students are now working for tailoring shops and institutes or on their own.
As Gelén Domingo, the center director, explains, Moisés' work has transcended paradigms in the center. Gelén remembers how Moisés even managed to convince boys attending the first workshop he taught to make women's clothing.
At first, the boys refused to make dresses and skirts because tailoring women's clothing is not considered a very masculine job. Nevertheless, the tutor was able to help his students understand the importance of tailoring all kinds of clothing in order to get a tailoring job once they finish their studies. He also encourages his students to pursue further training in tailoring and dressmaking in order to become professionals in these fields.
The child development center provides all the materials for the students to work with, including the sewing machines, threads, fabrics, felts, padding, thimbles, needles, measuring tapes, pins, scissors, buttons and many other supplies. Every piece of clothing a student manufactures belongs to him or her. The students frequently make clothes for themselves and their families, and they even make clothes to sell at the local markets.
Moisés' teaching method ensures speedy student progress. It can take too long to teach clothing design theory formally, so Moisés leads his students directly to the practicum of the sewing class, and students begin sewing immediately. They learn the theory as they practice.
After the Quetzalí center's success, other child development centers in the area have asked the tutor to give the same workshop at their facilities. Moisés opened classes in the communities of La Trinidad, Malacatán, Chayen and San Rafael Pie de la Cuesta.
When asked about his tailoring knowledge, teacher Moisés proudly explains that he learned this craft through family members, and now he feels inspired by Compassion's work to spread his knowledge to children. He feels he is able to empower a child to successfully provide for himself or herself, as well as for their families and communities, through tailoring and dressmaking.
In 2011 and 2012, two groups of Moisés' students (from Quetzalí, La Trinidad and Malacatán) worked together to manufacture sports uniforms and graduation clothing for other development centers in the area. The uniforms were sold for low prices to help the center's families, and the students who manufactured the clothes received a reward to help support their own families.
As María Feliciano, an advanced student of the workshop in Quetzalí, explains, the activity was very satisfying because it showed the students that every effort has its own compensation.
While the students work hard on their articles of clothing, paying attention to every detail they sew, Moisés dreams about the possibility that all the students from the surrounding workshops will work together as a manufacturing cluster. This idea stems from the opportunity to meet the local demand for summer clothing.
His biggest dream is that someday his students will teach other children and teenagers the same tailoring craft his parents taught him. He also hopes one of his former students will succeed him.

For the past several years, I've been wishing there was a nice reference to castle factions.
I'd love to have a full reference of the minifigs like the old Fibblesnork data base.
I'd also love to have the reference include pictures of all the sets for each faction.
As I build my castle world, it would just be nice to be able to quickly see what LEGO did with each faction, and then decided if I like their color schemes and minifigs or want to go my own way.

Instructor(s) Gendreau, Chad , Packard, Tamara
One of the most active areas of contemporary constitutional jurisprudence is the area of civil rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals and their families. Students will analyze the constitutional foundation for the expansion and contraction of rights in the past and present, and take a look at what the future may hold. The anticipated topics include marriage and civil unions (including DOMA and any gay marriage cases taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court during the semester), workplace rights and employment law, issues arising from the care and custody of children, free speech issues and more. The grade for this course will be derived primarily through a 10 to 15 page research paper expanding on one of the course topics; class participation is also key. NOTE: We will not be using a textbook for the course. Students should be comfortable receiving weekly reading assignments via email.

I'm a sucker for watching a character visually evolve over time. It's almost like looking at alternate lives that a fictional character could've embodied with slightly different personalities. For example, you can see how Spryo the Dragon seemed to have an entirely different attitude in these early designs.
And though the movie's not quite out yet, you can see how the main character of the video game-centric feature film Wreck-It Ralph started out as more of a monster in this series of images released by Disney. I'm guessing that the prevailing wisdom argued that a more creature-like Ralph would have been harder to be sympathetic to. Who knows? Ralph's final Lil' Abner/Mario look works just fine, but I sure like the different illustrative styles that he journeyed through.

Iran says it's tested new air defense system .
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran said Tuesday it successfully tested a new air defense system modeled after the U.S. Hawk system during a drill in the country's east. A senior Iranian official called the maneuvers a "slap" to America and Israel.
State TV broadcast footage Tuesday said to be from the drill, which began Saturday and which has been billed as "massive." The footage shows a Hawk missile being launched and hitting a mock aircraft.
Earlier reports said the new surface-to-air system is named "Mersad," or Ambush. It is capable of locking a flying object at a distance of 80 kilometers (50 miles) and can hit from 45 kilometers (30 miles) away, state TV said.
According to the reports, the Iranian military is expected to test anti-aircraft batteries and other air defense systems as part of the drill.
"This military exercise is a message and a strong slap to those countries that threaten," said air defense chief Gen. Farzad Esmaili, referring to the United States and Israel. "And a message of peace and friendship to friendly countries."
Both Israel and the U.S. have not ruled out a military option against Iran's suspect nuclear program, which the West fears intends to produce an atomic weapon. Iran denies the charge, saying its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
The test came during a six-day air defense drill under way over almost the entire eastern half of the country. The exercise has been said to include Iranian jet fighters, drones and more than 8,000 troops.
Iran regularly holds military exercises aimed at boosting its defense capabilities. It also occasionally announces additions to its arsenal, holds inauguration ceremonies, starts up new production lines and test-fires new missiles. The purported military advancements are impossible to independently verify.

Footprints in the snow led authorities to a suspected car thief in October, and the same defendant reportedly broke down on the highway after stealing a second vehicle in December.
Shadrach Mykytiuk, 39, of Mancos pleaded guilty Tuesday, Jan. 7, before District Court Judge Todd Plewe in a plea deal.
Court records reveal Mykytiuk stole a 2001 Dodge pickup from the P&D Grocery on Oct. 30, 2013. He reportedly stole the truck so he could drive to Cortez to kill a subject that broke the rear window of the defendant's 2008 Subaru Impreza earlier the same day.
Mancos Deputy Sean Kiely reportedly followed footprints in the snow in October to an apartment complex on the 200 block of East Menefee Street, where a witness identified the defendant.
In a separate case, court records reveal Mykytiuk was again charged with motor vehicle theft on Dec. 1, 2013. He reportedly stole a 1998 Dodge Ram pickup from his father's business, Gary's Automotive. After hotwiring the vehicle, the defendant reportedly drove the vehicle until it broke down on U.S. 160, at which time he called to turn himself into authorities.
Under the plea agreement, charges of escape, resisting arrest, unlawful use of a controlled substance and aggravated motor vehicle theft were dismissed. Mykytiuk pleaded guilty Tuesday to obstructing a peace office and aggravated motor vehicle theft.
District Attorney Will Furse and public defender Amy Smith stipulated that the defendant wouldn't face jail time under the plea agreement. Plewe, however, rejected the mandate.
"I'm not willing to accept an agreement that no jail time can be imposed," said Plewe. "That's up to the court's discretion."
A sentencing hearing was scheduled for 11 a.m. on Feb. 20. Plewe told Mykytiuk that the penalty could be 12 to 18 months of prison followed by a year of parole.
Mykytiuk is in custody under $9,000 in bonds.
Court records reveal that Mykytiuk slipped his handcuffs from behind his back to the front at least twice after he was apprehended in October. As deputy Kiely approached the Montezuma County jail near the intersection of Empire and Mildred streets, Mykytiuk reportedly managed to escape the patrol car.
Records state a foot chase resulted through the park before the defendant was tased and subsequently apprehended again.
Both vehicles were recovered and returned to the owners.

www.eurointelligence.com is a specialist internet-based service for economic news and analysis of the euro area. With our flagship product, Eurointelligence Professional, we offer a filtered and time-saving way to access highly specialist information from international and national information sources. We also provide our own comments and analysis, and try to do so with a dose of humour. Without it, the eurozone would be hard to bear at the moment.
What has always distinguished our approach since our start in late 2006 is the eurozone-specific viewpoint. What motivated us at the time, and still does, was the predominantly national viewpoint in the national media. The outbreak of the eurozone crisis has led to a large increase in news coverage, but in a mostly biased way where the national viewpoint has become even more extreme.
We cover the politics, economics, and finance of the eurozone. But there are also subjects we do not cover. We do not cover the European Union as such. For example, we do not cover the EU budget, which has no macroeconomic relevance for the eurozone, and which is over-covered in all national newspapers anyway. We are not covering trade. In the past, we did not cover financial regulation either. But this has been changing as the eurozone is developing into a banking union, or as the eurozone is making use of the Lisbon Treaty's enhanced co-operation procedure. We have stepped up our coverage of this important area, and expect to extend it further as the banking union becomes a reality. We also cover global economic and financial events to the extent that they relate to the eurozone.
It is also our mission to contribute to the education about eurozone economics. In particular we support schools and universities who would like to use our briefings in classwork. For further information, please contact us.

Aftimios Ofiesh (1880-1966, né Abdullah Aftimios Ofiesh, names sometimes spelled variously as "Oftimios," "Ofeish," or "Ofiesch") was an early 20th century Orthodox bishop in America, serving as the immediate successor to St. Raphael of Brooklyn under the auspices of the Church of Russia. He held the title Bishop of Brooklyn. Some will say that he is perhaps best known in our day as being the source of numerous lines of succession of episcopi vagantes because of the acts of Ignatius Nichols "after he walked away from the Church without the required letter. Nichols was an auxiliary bishop under Abp. Aftimios. Abp. Ofiesh led the American Orthodox Catholic Church from 1927 until his death in 1966 according to the Synod of his Church which continues today.
Following the untimely death of St. Raphael of Brooklyn in 1915, Archimandrite Aftimios (Ofiesh) was elected to serve as his replacement in caring for the Arab Orthodox faithful in America under the Church of Russia's canonical authority. He was consecrated by Archbishop Evdokim (Meschersky) as an auxiliary bishop in 1917 with the title of Bishop of Brooklyn. In 1923, in recognition for his work in America, he was elevated by Metropolitan Platon (Rozhdestvensky) of New York to the rank of archbishop.
In 1924, in the canonical chaos of American Orthodoxy following the onset of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the Arab Orthodox faithful split into two factions, one which wished to go under the canonical authority of the Church of Antioch and another which wished to stay faithful to the Church of Russia. The former group was organized by Bishop Victor (Abu Assaly) of New York, thus beginning the official presence of the Church of Antioch on American soil.
In 1927, Aftimios was commissioned by the Russian Synod of Bishops in North Americ of the Moscow Patriarchate to form an English speaking "American Orthodox Catholic Church," which continues today as the same Church. During the early years Aftimios consecrated three bishops for his new jurisdiction, Sophronios (Beshara) of Los Angeles, Joseph (Zuk) for the Ukrainians[1], and Ignatius (William Albert) Nichols in September of 1932 as his auxiliary bishop of Washington.[2] Additionally, in 1931 the Society of Clerks Secular of St. Basil, a Western Rite group, was established under the auspices of this diocese.
In 1932, Archbishop Aftimios was invited to come to St. Mary's Syrian Orthodox Church in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, to arbitrate a dispute regarding the transfer of its priest, Fr. Constantine Abou-Adal. When Fr. Constantine left St. Mary's in November of 1932, the parish was without a pastor, and so Archbishop Aftimios served in that capacity until February of 1933, organizing a choir and Sunday School at the parish. During this time, he met and became involved with one of St. Mary's parishioners, Mariam Namey, then subsequently married her in a civil ceremony in April of 1933.[3]
Reports vary at this point as to what happened regarding Aftimios' episcopacy. According to the parish records of St. Mary's, he "was retired" and lived in nearby Kingston until his death in 1966. With the withdrawal of support for the American Orthodox Catholic Church, it continued to be ignored by the other orthodox jurisdictions.
According to the book Orthodox Christians in North America (1794-1994), however, Aftimios "resigned his episcopacy and married."[4]
One of the groups which now traces itself to Aftimios characterizes the situation differently: "We are now under our own patriarch since the ethnic patriarchal orthodox bodies all turned their backs on this Church and use the marriage of Abp. Aftimios as the excuse for their actions. They fail to explain why they refused to recognize this Church and its authority in the New World for the 6 years prior to the marriage.
The biography by Ofiesh's widow Mariam claims that Aftimios fully intended to function as a married bishop, having that intent even before he met Mariam.
Whatever the case, relations between the small jurisdiction created by Aftimios and the mainstream Orthodox Church were not regularized before or after his marriage. Since he was no called before a tribunal all claims of a de facto deposition from the episcopacy or any related "punishment" as groundless. Since that time, numerous and still multiplying lines of succession of episcopi vagantes continue to persist which all trace their roots to Aftimios (mainly through Ignatius Nichols),contrary to the canons and many in the independent movement regard him as a saint.[5][6] Some of those bishops are married men. The continual stumbling block to their unity with the mainstream Church is their questionable lines, as well as the fact the mainstream church has for centuries maintained a celibate episcopacy.
Following his death in 1966 at age 85, Aftimios was buried in Maple Hill Cemetery across from St. Mary's Orthodox Cemetery in Wilkes-Barre. His widow Mariam subsequently wrote his biography, published in 1999. He was declared a Martyr by the Synod of his Church.

The book by Aftimios's widow, while including a great deal of historical information, is not mainly a scholarly work but is rather a biography aimed toward the exoneration of her late husband. One of its primary themes throughout is that Aftimios's marriage to Mariam was justified and that the canonical tradition of celibacy for Orthodox bishops is "man-made" and should be abolished.

The loss of some 1,500 souls when the RMS Titanic sank in 1912 has been memorialized, if that's the right word, with a century of narrative re-creation, a hit movie, countless documentaries, a Broadway musical, a Celine Dion ballad, a permanent tourist replica in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., and peripatetic exhibits of artifacts. The loss of more than 800 souls — mostly employees of the Western Electric Company of Hawthorne (now Cicero) headed off for a cruise and a picnic — when the overloaded SS Eastland tipped into the Chicago River just three years later is barely known and rarely discussed. There's just a small plaque by the Chicago River. On occasion, you can see the odd surprised tourist squinting at the story and then looking over in disbelief at the narrow, serene, city-center waterway, wondering how it could have possibly happened with land just a few feet away on either side.
In its best moments, "Eastland," the theatrically muddy but emotionally powerful new musical from the Lookingglass Theatre Company, focuses in on some of the reasons. As one of the wrenching songs by Andre Pluess and Ben Sussman notes, there were no rich or famous people on board the Eastland, just working-class folks, many making and laying cable. There was no assaulting iceberg to stir imaginations, just a fatal tip into the water. And whereas the bejeweled Titanic stirred the hearts and romanticizing printing presses of the Anglo-American media complex, the prosaic "Eastland" merely toppled into a filthy Chicago River, collateral human damage in a rough-and-tumble and chaotically expanding city.
One death, then, is not valued like another, which is not news to most of us, but still a truth and a theme that bares constant theatrical repeating, especially since on the Eastland, as the above song goes on to note, "stories and secrets were lost just the same." When Andrew White's book and Amanda Dehnert's staging keep the focus on the victims, honoring their lives and seeking to understand what caused their deaths, the show packs enough that it is well worth seeing. White clearly wants to celebrate ordinary lives even as death plays out in muddy, shallow waters. Another haunting song in this show tells of all the Big City horrors — from the carcasses of beasts to the detritus of prostitutes — the Chicago River has swallowed in its time.
In the case of the Eastland disaster, it also swallowed people. I won't quickly forget the moment when one dying character — the dying in this show can look back on their fates — wonders what will happen to the survivors of her family and arrives at the inevitable conclusion that they will just have to learn to look after themselves, as so many Chicagoans have had to learn, for so many reasons.
Pluess and Sussman are richly talented songwriters (I've admired their work since the remarkable "Winesburg, Ohio" nearly a decade ago) whose rootsy melodies understand the musical language of the ordinary Midwesterner. Many of the songs in "Eastland" (performed by a cast doubling as the band; the hard-shelled folk icon Michael Smith plays both guitar and the stiff captain of the ship) are powerful indeed. The singing, from cast members like Monica West, Jeanne T. Arrigo, Tiffany Topol, Derek Hasenstab and Doug Hara under the musical direction of Malcolm Ruhl, is much stronger than in past Lookingglass musicals. The score here looks at this story from all angles; every time another number starts you find yourself leaning into the show and its characters.
Dramaturgically speaking, though, the piece starts out as a bit of a mess. And Dehnert's staging can and does get too showy for its own good, sometimes sacrificing clarity of storytelling for a self-aware theatricality, which is the less important of the two. The structure of the piece is complex — we move back and forward in time, the pre-disaster lives of the characters alternating with scenes dealing with a diver, Reggie (Hara), who pulled the bodies out of the river.
The jumpy, confusing first 20 minutes of the show don't make the audience feel secure in time, place or character. The show misses the chance to reveal to us the moments of normalcy before the horror unfolds, which we need to feel for the show to exert its full power. And it's only when we meet a married woman (played by the excellent West) beginning a gentle affair with a grocery clerk (the charming Erik Hellman) that it feels the show has latched onto actual characters. We end up knowing too few of the victims; we would know them better if the show would get its own pretentious structure out of the way and let them speak and sing through this terrific score.
"Eastland" needs to decide if it's to be a montage or a full-blown book musical with a unified arc. The latter surely is the way to go (it is what the victims deserve), and while that does not mean a fluid structure can't remain, it does mean the staging should track more clearly, allowing deeper themes to resonate as strongly as they do in the score. We could also live without Harry Houdini (Hasenstab), who shows up here as a kind of ghostly mentor for the underwater diver, who likes to hold his breath. Not only does this feel like borrowing from "Ragtime," but the cliched and here-irrelevant escapologist takes away time from the people we really want to know and understand.
At one point West's character loses hold of her child on the boat as she spies her lover. This feels like a cheap moment — as if she is being punished for the affair — but the human connection between West and Hellman remains the most vital in the show. If only there were more such scenes. The actors onstage could pull them off.
With the help of Dan Ostling's revealingly environmental set, Dehnert and White's treatment of the final few minutes, when the show is much stronger — sets of anonymous victim's clothes are seen being removed, on pegs, from symbolic buckets of water — is gut-wrenching and inspired. The actors Christine Mary Dunford and Laurence E. Distasi carry much emotional water here. "Perhaps once known to mischievous tricks/Now merely known as Boy 396," goes one lyric in this scene, making you think of the horror of the way the young can be taken. But before we arrive at the sad aftermath, we need a fuller, clearer, more honest and vibrant picture of the complexities and little banalities of these ordinary lives lost, in the very city they were helping to build.

If you don't remember last year gas prices were through the roof in the states. Immediately everyone was wondering why we weren't switching to futuristic electric vehicles. This movie has some of the answers for why we are going at a snail pace towards a cleaner, more efficient world.
With gasoline prices approaching $4/gallon, fossil fuel shortages, unrest in oil producing regions around the globe and mainstream consumer adoption and adoption of the hybrid electric car (more than 140,000 Prius' sold this year), this story couldn't be more relevant or important. The foremost goal in making this movie is to educate and enlighten audiences with the story of this car, its place in history and in the larger story of our car culture and how it enables our continuing addiction to foreign oil. This is an important film with an important message that not only calls to task the officials who squelched the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, but all of the other accomplices, government, the car companies, Big Oil, even Eco-darling Hydrogen as well as consumers, who turned their backs on the car and embrace embracing instead the SUV. Our documentary investigates the death and resurrection of the electric car, as well as the role of renewable energy and sustainable living in our country's future; issues which affect everyone from progressive liberals to the neo-conservative right.

I have until tomorrow to do a virus project, and I'm doing it on Ebola. I just need the following information, and I don't think Wikipedia can be used…not sure though…
Anyways… I need:
size, shape, arrangement, and Gram stain (whatever that is)
How it attacks and spreads
Most common victims
Where it is most likely found
How dangerous
Number of victims
Most effective "weapons" (probably referring to vaccines)
Any other identifying characteristics.
Short answers should be fine. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Resources also help
Thanks, Tyler
Why cannot Wikipedia be used,? I took a quick glance at it and it seems to give a good answer to pretty much all of your questions.
But I can give you some brief information on the topic:
– Ebola is a filovirus, part of a viral family that causes hemorrhagic fevers. Thus it cannot be identified by Gram staining, which is primarily used for bacteria.
– According to the current knowledge, Ebola spreads via body fluids and secretions. Airbourne transmission has been suspected some times, but are unlikely.
– Most common victims are people around the areas where the (unknown) host of the virus is endemic ->
– It is found in the West/Central Africa, e.g. around the Ebola river and the Congo region. Also, some strains are from tropical regions in Asia if I recall correctly.
– The disease is extremely lethal.
– The number of victims is small due to the very high mortality rates of the virus: victims rarely live long enough to spread the disease to many people.
– There is no known cure or prophylactic treatment – no vaccine exist
– The disease has very typical symptoms, which help to identify it. The virus itself can be identified at least by EM and probably by PCR or by protein-specific means.
I wrote the above answers based on my own memory, so check that they are all true before writing your own, more detailed answers.

Last week, I discussed the misconception that everything is adaptive. This week, I want to talk about ways we can help our students see and appreciate the wonder of life without their adaptation-everywhere goggles on.
At the younger grades, I'd simply try to watch how I present characteristics of organisms, being careful not to suggest that everything has a purpose. A simple change from asking, "What's that [structure/trait] for?" to "What does that [structure/trait] do?" might even help alter the misconception foundation just enough to make a difference.
Then, in middle school, I'd explain that while many traits are adaptations, some aren't. A simple example like the belly button would help to illustrate this point. (Be prepared to explain that while belly buttons do indeed collect lint, they were not selected by natural selection for that function!) This would also be a good time to point out that "adaptation" has a common use meaning, as in "We adapt to the heat of summer by wearing shorts," but this sort of "adapting" is not the same as saying that living things have adapted in an evolutionary sense. For one thing, wearing shorts isn't heritable!
Then, in high school, I'd emphasize the criteria for an adaptive trait and work through some examples. A body builder's giant muscles: Heritable? No. So, not an adaptation. Belly buttons: Heritable? Check. Functional? Nope. Ergo: not an adaptation. Male nipples (come one, everyone will love this one!) Heritable? Check. Functional? Nope. Survey says! Not an adaptation. Blood's redness: Heritable: Yes. Functional: No. Not an adaptation.
Once the ideas have been established, explain that when it comes to functionality, the context matters. For a trait to be an adaptation for a particular function, it must be a consequence of selection for that function. Illustrate this concept with a couple more examples. Forearm feathers in birds: Heritable? Yes. Functional: Yes, can't fly without them! Increase fitness: Yes. An adaptation? Well, that depends. Adaptation for flight? No. Feathers first appeared on the forearms of flightless bird ancestors, so the basic forearm feather cannot have been an adaptation for flight. Adaptation for insulation? Most likely. Now, can you say that asymmetrical feathers are an adaptation for flight? Yes. This type of feather seems only to be associated with birds that fly, or whose ancestors flew.
Male peacock tail feathers: Heritable: Yes. Functional: Yes—Although they certainly do no favors when it comes to effective flying or avoiding detection by predators, they help males attract mates. Increase fitness: Definitely. So, are they an adaptation? Yes, a classic example of an adaptation for mate attraction shaped by sexual selection.
Human tailbone: Heritable: Yes. Functional? Well, certainly not for its original function. In ape ancestors, what we now know as "the tailbone" made up the first few bones in the extension of the vertebral column that supported a tail. So this one is a nice example of a vestigial structure. It no longer serves the function for which it was originally acted on by natural selection.
In general, if your students ask you, "What is this for?" ask back, "Does it have to be for something? And do you mean what was it for originally, or what is it for now?" Try to get them to understand that structure/traits can do many things, but that doesn't mean that they were selected for those functions. Explain that sometimes, traits aren't adaptive at all (as in belly buttons), and sometimes, adaptive traits take on new adaptive roles (as in forearm feathers), and sometimes traits lose their original adaptive function (as in human tailbones).
I'll close this one out with a quote from Stephen Jay Gould. As a slight aside, I've loved writing about this topic because it's given me an excuse to dig back into Gould's writings. He was such a master of science communication, making the complicated accessible without being condescending or committing errors-by-oversimplification. Any teachers looking for sources of material to help cover new science/technical subjects Common Core standards should take a look at his "This View of Life" essays that appeared in Natural History. In this one, Gould writes about an exchange with Francis Crick:
"I well remember something that Francis Crick said to me many years ago, when my own functionalist biases were strong. He remarked, … 'Why do you evolutionists always try to identify the value of something before you know how it is made?'… Now, having wrestled with the question of adaptation for many years, I understand the wisdom of Crick's remark. … we must first establish 'how' in order to know whether or not we should be asking 'why' at all."
I can't really sum it up better than that.

Thousands march for gun control in Washington
WASHINGTON -- Thousands of people, many holding signs with names of gun violence victims and messages such as "Ban Assault Weapons Now," joined a rally for gun control on Saturday, marching from the Capitol to the Washington Monument.
Participants were led by Mayor Vincent Gray and other officials Saturday morning, and the crowd stretched for about two blocks along Constitution Avenue. Police blocked off half the road.
Participants held signs reading "Gun Control Now" and "Stop NRA," among other messages. Other signs were simple and white, with the names of victims of gun violence.
About 100 residents were expected from Newtown, Conn., where a gunman killed 20 first-graders and six teachers at a school in December. The rally was organized in response to that shooting.
Once the crowd arrived at the monument, speakers called for a ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan told the crowd it's not about taking away Second Amendment gun rights, but about gun safety and saving lives. He said he and President Barack Obama would do everything they could to enact gun control policies.
"We must act, we must act, we must act," Duncan said.
Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D.C.'s non-voting representative in Congress, said the gun lobby can be stopped. The crowd chanted back, "Yes, we can."
Norton said the nation didn't act after previous mass killings, but she said "we the people," won't give up this time.
"We are all culpable if we do nothing now," Norton said
Participant Kara Baekey of Norwalk, Conn., said that when she heard about the Newtown shooting, she immediately thought of her two young children. She said she decided she must take action, and that's why she joined the march.
"I wanted to make sure this never happens at my kids' school or any other school," Baekey said. "It just can't happen again."
James Agenbroad, 78, of Garrett Park, Md., carried a handwritten sign on cardboard that read "Repeal the 2nd Amendment." He called it the only way to stop mass killings because he thinks the Supreme Court will strike down any other restrictions on guns.
"You can repeal it," he said. "We repealed prohibition."
Molly Smith, the artistic director of Washington's Arena Stage, and her partner organized the march. Organizers said that in addition to the 100 from Newtown, they expected buses of participants from New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia. Others are flying in from Seattle, San Francisco and even Alaska.
While she's never organized a political march before, Smith said she was compelled to press for a change in the law. The march organizers support President Barack Obama's call for a ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines as well as for universal background checks for gun sales. They also want lawmakers to require gun safety training for all buyers of firearms.
"With the drum roll, the consistency of the mass murders and the shock of it, it is always something that is moving and devastating to me. And then, it's as if I move on," Smith said. "And in this moment, I can't move on. I can't move on.
"I think it's because it was children, babies," she said. "I was horrified by it."
After the Connecticut shootings, Smith posted something on Facebook and drew more support to do something. The group One Million Moms for Gun Control, the Washington National Cathedral and two other churches eventually signed on to co-sponsor the march. Organizers have raised more than $46,000 online to pay for equipment and fees to stage the rally.
Lawmakers from the District of Columbia and Maryland were scheduled to speak Saturday. Actress Kathleen Turner was expected to appear, along with Marian Wright Edelman of the Children's Defense Fund and Colin Goddard, a survivor from the Virginia Tech massacre.
Smith said she supports a comprehensive look at mental health and violence in video games and films. But she said the mass killings at Virginia Tech and Aurora, Colo., and Newtown, Conn., all start with guns.
"The issue is guns. The Second Amendment gives us the right to own guns, but it's not the right to own any gun," she said. "These are assault weapons, made for killing people."

Carlos Arredondo helps a victim of the Boston Marathon bombings on Monday.
It's an iconic image that captures a moment when one Boston Marathon bystander became much more.
With blood-soaked hands and wearing a cowboy hat, Carlos Arredondo helps rush a young man in a wheelchair to safety after explosions turned Monday's race into a disaster scene.
He appears to be pinching closed a severed artery protruding from the victim's thigh, stanching the flow of blood from a torn and shattered leg.
"I kept talking to him. I kept saying, 'Stay with me, stay with me,'" Arredondo told the Portland, Maine, Press Herald.

Carlos Arredondo displays a blood-soaked flag. He had been handing them out when explosions ripped through areas near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday.
Another frequently published photo shows him afterward, carrying an American flag soaked in blood.
Arredondo had been at the race to support a group running for fallen veterans, one of them his son, according to the Maine newspaper, which described him charging in to help the wounded after the explosions.
Afterward, he was shaking, sometimes violently, as he told bystanders what had happened.
Arredondo didn't set out to become a heroic figure – or a tragic one, for that matter.
Life dealt the Costa Rica native the cards that brought him national media attention long before Monday.
In 2004, Arredondo's son, Marine Lance Cpl. Alexander S. Arredondo, died in battle in Najaf, Iraq.
When Marines arrived in a van to deliver the news, on Arredondo's 44th birthday, he grabbed a can of gasoline and a torch from his garage, climbed inside the van and doused it, then set fire to it, severely burning himself in the process, The Associated Press reported at the time.
Boston Marathon blast witness Carlos Arrendondo describes rushing into the aftermath to aid victims. WJAR's Brian Crandall reports.
The New York Times wrote about Arredondo in 2007, finding him a man distraught who was manning a makeshift mobile memorial in the back of his pickup. There was a coffin containing his son's favorite possessions, and then there were the photos. They depicted Alexander Arredondo as a happy teen, then as a fully-battle-equipped warrior, then as a body in a coffin.
"As long as there are Marines fighting and dying in Iraq, I'm going to share my mourning with the American people," he told the paper.
Public grieving would gain him national attention, but it wouldn't be easy.
In 2007, Arredondo was publicly beaten during an anti-war demonstration in Washington, according to WarIsACrime.org, which carries photos of the incident and an account from Arredondo's wife.
And in December 2011, just before Christmas, Carlos' other son, Brian, 24, took his own life as U.S. troops were withdrawing from the war that left his brother dead, according to numerous media reports.
"We are broken people," he told The Boston Herald.

On the Court with Bobbie Kelsey
The Wisconsin women's basketball coach looks to bring her winning record at Stanford to Madison in her second season
At first glance, Bobbie Kelsey is a laid-back Southern girl who reels people in with her down-home charm. But spend a chunk of time with the University of Wisconsin women's basketball coach and you'll discover a ferocious intensity that knows no bounds.
You don't need to look further than Kelsey's Stanford basketball career to discern where lessons in perseverance came from. She tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee before her senior season at Southwest DeKalb High School in Decatur, Georgia, but the setback didn't deter Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer from recruiting the talented defensive player. Stanford won the 1992 NCAA Tournament championship during Kelsey's freshman season, and despite being sidelined after undergoing surgery, the rookie was named most inspirational player by teammates.
The injury bug bit a second time when Kelsey tore her right ACL midway through her senior season, but again, she earned the most inspirational accolade from her fellow players.
"I didn't change when my personal situation wasn't going great," Kelsey says. "I got hurt coming in and going out. What can you do about that? You can show up, be around, be positive and help people. If things don't go your way, you still can be a vital, important piece to the big puzzle."
Now, as a Big Ten head coach, Kelsey brings those same make-no-excuses attributes to her own program, one she was chosen to whip into shape. But as much as her job is to push, push, push her players, her philosophy is that she has to bond with them, too. Interpersonal connections were easy to overlook in a whirlwind first season, so building them has become a top priority for her second season, which starts mid-month.
"I want to try to get to know them more as people," Kelsey says. "Because when you have to get on them and tell them what they don't always want to hear, it is taken more personally when they feel they don't know you. It is tough.
"You can't pacify people, sugarcoat everything and put a bow on it. Sometimes kids want that, but that's not going to help them or help Wisconsin."
High Hopes
White House photographs adorn the walls of Kelsey's Kohl Center office, a reminder that she reached the pinnacle of success when Stanford received a presidential invitation to Washington, D.C., to celebrate the 1992 NCAA Tournament title.
Kelsey made assistant coach stops at five schools, including Florida and Virginia Tech, before returning to her alma mater in 2007 to help lead Stanford to four straight Final Four appearances.
Stanford reached the Final Four in seven of Kelsey's nine seasons as player and assistant, and replicating that success at Wisconsin isn't necessarily the ultimate goal. But ratcheting up the competitive level is an achievable objective, according to athletic director Barry Alvarez.
Passion is one personality trait Alvarez admires in Kelsey, and he's impressed with her exposure to championship basketball. Alvarez and Kelsey had similar career trajectories in the coaching ranks as assistants with highly successful programs—Alvarez with Iowa football and Kelsey at Stanford.
"We both are driven and both have a very distinct plan in how we're going to succeed," Alvarez says. "I really am impressed with her passion in recruiting, and the way she approaches the game and recruiting."
While Alvarez wouldn't elaborate on specific expectations, he is a firm believer that once Kelsey has recruits in place, the Badgers will flourish executing her upbeat style.
"I've always felt with our facilities and wherewithal that we provide the coaches, that (teams) be very competitive and compete at a very high level," Alvarez says.
"I never talk to coaches about how many championships I expect them to win, or win Big Ten (championships) or Final Fours or anything like that. But I do expect them to compete at a high level and expect our student-athletes to have a great experience while they're here."
When practice starts, the mission is to improve on the 2011–12 campaign in which the team finished 9–20 overall and 5–11 in the Big Ten, tied for ninth place in the conference standings. Realistically, the Badgers need to inch closer toward the middle of the Big Ten pack and possibly gain a Women's National Invitation Tournament berth.
Taylor Wurtz and Morgan Paige are the only returning starters, and Kelsey is excited to see what contributions freshmen Dakota Whyte, Makailah Dyer and Nicole Bauman bring to the lineup. Whyte is a true point guard, Bauman is the state's reigning Gatorade Player of the Year and Dyer is a Madison East High School grad. Wurtz was the team leader last season in scoring and rebounding (16.1 points and 7.6 rebounds per game), while Paige averaged double-digit scoring with ten points per game.
Change Ahead
Kelsey is cognizant that changing the culture within a program that's received only three NCAA Tournament bids in the past twelve seasons is a gradual process. According to former assistant coach Kyle Rechlicz, since Kelsey's arrival in April 2011, she's caught players' attention by advocating a diligent work ethic in practice and off-court conditioning.
"The whole point of (last) season was implementing the idea of how hard you have to work in order to be successful and it was something the girls hadn't experienced," says Rechlicz, an ex-Wisconsin player who left Kelsey's staff to become head coach of the UW–Milwaukee women's basketball team.
VanDerveer, who has led the Cardinal to two NCAA championships and eleven NCAA Final Fours in twenty-seven seasons, has little doubt Kelsey will build a successful program in Madison as long as top athlete recruitment is a priority along with player development. When a winning tradition is established in a major conference, fan support will follow.
Kelsey is extremely competitive and likely won't tolerate players who are "lazy and selfish," says VanDerveer, a thirty-four-year veteran coach who was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame last year. "Bobbie works very hard, and she enjoys game coaching," she says. "Making adjustments will be one of her strengths."
"Winning is fun," VanDerveer adds. "Bobbie wasn't hired to be the 'Kumbaya' coach. She's hired to do what Barry Alvarez did in taking the football team to the Rose Bowl. She's hired to go to the Final Four, that's the expectation. It's not going to happen without rubbing some people the wrong way.
"It's a great opportunity and I know she'll maximize it. It always will take a little time. I just hope that people are patient."
Building for the Future
Time is one commodity that's been in short supply over the past eighteen months. Kelsey, who married real estate broker Kwame Grayson in August 2011, has developed an affinity for Madison, but other than basketball obligations and a steady stream of charitable events and volunteer efforts, she hasn't explored the city as much as she would like. She touts the Kohl Center, Camp Randall and Bascom Hill as her favorite spots on campus, and participates in a culinary undertaking with her coaching staff in finding Madison's best burger.
"Improve" is the operative word Kelsey uses to describe intentions for her second season. The dynamic and direct Kelsey, who turns forty in December, also is not daunted by challenges, though she readily admits to feeling the burden of expectations, explicit or not.
"The pressure is there in a lot of different areas, but I don't let it define what I'm doing because I'm doing it the right way," says Kelsey, who earned a $300,000 base salary last year and received a contract extension in spring that is slated to expire in May 2017.
"I love it here. They've given me the resources, the contract extension and all the things you need to do a good job. If in eight, nine or ten years I'm not getting it done, guess what? I should be gone. You can't sit around and just be happy to have the job. We want to build the program, build it right with the right people and players, but that does take time."

Company fined £100,000 after Croydon crane accident leaves driver crippled
Posted by nahetsblog on September 24, 2009
One of the country's largest plant hire companies have been fined £100,000 after admitting flouting health and safety rules which left a crane driver with crippling injuries. At NAHETS Safety is our primary concern.
John Young suffered severe spinal injuries after the cab of the crane fell through the air and crashed onto the roof of the Croydon Park Hotel on June 2, 2007.
He has been left unable to return to work more than two years after the tragedy.
Passers-by reported watching the crane's arm topple backwards 200 feet in the air and break free from its base before crashing onto the roof of the neighbouring hotel.
Firefighters who helped rescue the injured driver from the wreckage described it as "one of the biggest disasters in Croydon since the Second World War."
The crane was building the Altitude 25 apartment block for Howard Holdings when the accident happened at around 2.20pm.
Three other workers were left stranded on the top of the crane's base for five hours as firefighters from Croydon fire station launched a massive rescue operation.
Select Plant Hire Company Ltd, based in Dartford, Kent, admitted breaching regulation 9(2) (b) and 8(1) of the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998; regulation 9(2) of the Provision and use of work Equipment Regulations 1998 and; section 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.
As well as the fine, the company was ordered £15 victim surcharge and the costs were £33,196.
Judge Anthony Morris said: "The defendant company created a very significant risk of an accident occurring. In addition when part of a crane falls to the ground, the possibility of death or serious injury is extremely high."

Yahoo! is running it's media and news portals in India for a long time. Although Yahoo has been publishing content in the Indian regional language – Hindi, but it is time for them to look towards catering the online content needs for other languages in India which are catching up fast with the web world.
Internet giant Yahoo! has finally decided to host content in six Indian regional languages apart from Hindi and English, by next year. Currently Yahoo is looking for content partners who can create content for Yahoo! in these 6 regional languages, the names of which have not yeet been revealed by Yahoo!
Currently Yahoo! India has a partnership with the publishing house Dainik Jagran which helps it offer content in Hindi across it's media portals. Another interesting fact is that Yahoo's Hindi news traffic has taken over the traffic for Yahoo India's English content traffic.
India has about 50 million Internet users currently and given the current pace at which new Indian users are getting onboard the world on Internet, this number is likely to go up to 240 million in the next five years. And given the fact that 73 per cent of all Indian Internet users have access to Yahoo!, regional content naturally becomes very important for the company.
