Language classes for children
|Children, Language, and Literacy: Diverse Learners in Diverse Times (Language & Literacy Series)
|Celia Genishi and Anne Haas Dyson
|''Contemporary early childhood educators find themselves in contexts that are fundamentally inimical to the time-honored wisdom in our field. Children, Language, and Literacy speaks to all of us with a commitment to the very young and strengthens our collective resolve to work in increasingly more effective ways with children, families, and the next generation of teachers.'' -- Mary Renck Jalongo, Editor, Early Childhood Education Journal ''Genishi and Dyson animate sociocultural theories of language learning by inviting us into the intimacy of children's worlds. This book will become a treasure on the required reading lists for early childhood, ESOL, and language arts courses.'' -- JoBeth Allen, University of Georgia, Athens''If our standards-based economy requires us to make all children the same, to drain the joy out of learning, and to move lockstep through a set curriculum, we have forgotten what early childhood classrooms are all about. Genishi and Dyson remind us.'' -- Beth Graue, Interim Director, Wisconsin Center for Education Research''Celia Genishi and Anne Haas Dyson call on us to rethink children's language and literacy instruction in the changing and diverse landscape of U.S. education. That call must be answered, and they help us immensely understand how to do so.'' -- Eugene Garcia, Vice President, Education Partnerships, Arizona State UniversityIn their new collaboration, Celia Genishi and Anne Haas Dyson celebrate the genius of young children who are learning language and literacy in our diverse times. Despite burgeoning sociocultural diversity, many early childhood classrooms (pre-K to grade 2) offer a one-size-fits-all curriculum in which learning is too often assessed by standardized tests. In contrast, Genishi and Dyson proclaim diversity as the new norm. They feature stories of children whose language learning is impossible to standardize and teachers who do not follow scripts. These master teachers observe, informally assess, respond to, and grow with their students -- some of whom are rapid language learners and some of whom become speakers, readers, and writers at ''child speed.'' Much of this learning, regardless of tempo, is found within the language-rich contexts of play. Chapters focus on children's ways of communicating through varied modes, including the use of nonverbal expression; languages such as Spanish, English, and the variant of English known as African American Language; and multiple media. Throughout the text there is a resistance to labels such as ''at risk'' and a much-needed advocacy for child-sensible practices in a world where diversity is indeed the ''new norm.''
|Reading, Writing and Learning in ESL: A Resource Book for Teaching K-12 English Learners (with MyEducationLab) (5th Edition)
|Suzanne F. Peregoy and Owen F. Boyle
|Praised for its strong research base, engaging style, and inclusion of specific teaching ideas, the Fifth Edition comprehensively examines oral language, vocabulary, writing, reading, and writing/content-based instruction in English for grades K-12 students. This Fifth Edition of Peregoy & Boyle's best-selling book continues the strengths of the Fourth Edition with its comprehensiveness and accessibility, providing a wealth of practical strategies for promoting literacy and language development in ELLs (K-12). Unlike many books in this field, Reading, Writing and Learning in ESL takes a unique approach by exploring contemporary language acquisition theory (as it relates to instruction) and providing suggestions and methods for motivating ELLs' English language, literacy and content area learning. The book highlights content-based instruction and features differentiated instruction for English language learners.
|Wishes, Lies, and Dreams: Teaching Children to Write Poetry
|Kenneth Koch and Ron Padgett
|The classic, inspiring account of a poet's experience teaching school children to write poetry When Kenneth Koch entered the Manhattan classrooms of P.S. 61, the children, excited by the opportunity to work with an instructor able to inspire their talent and energy, would clap and shout with pleasure. In this vivid account, Koch describes his inventive methods for teaching these children how to create poems and gives numerous examples of their work. Wishes, Lies, and Dreams is a valuable text for all those who care about freeing the creative imagination and educating the young.
|Teaching and Learning Elementary Social Studies (9th Edition)
|Arthur K Ellis
|Are you looking for a resource that will provide you with practical, yet proven, social studies strategies to use with children in grades K-8? Look no further, explore the new edition of Teaching and Learning Elementary Social Studies to find a wealth of lesson plans and practical guidance. This perennial best-seller provides instructional strategies for involving K-8 children in social studies content that emphasize concepts, inquiry, and moral development. Widely admired for its warm voice and abundance of children's art and writing, this text integrates constructivist philosophies of active learning with the essential knowledge, basic skills, and positive values required of citizens in a healthy and diverse democracy.
|Bringing Words to Life: Robust Vocabulary Instruction
|Isabel L. Beck PhD, Margaret G. McKeown Phd, Linda Kucan PhD, Isabel L. Beck, Margaret G. McKeown and Linda Kucan
|Exciting and engaging vocabulary instruction can set students on the path to a lifelong fascination with words. This book provides a research-based framework and practical strategies for vocabulary development with children from the earliest grades through high school. The authors emphasize instruction that offers rich information about words and their uses and enhances students' language comprehension and production. Teachers are guided in selecting words for instruction; developing student-friendly explanations of new words; creating meaningful learning activities; and getting students involved in thinking about, using, and noticing new words both within and outside the classroom. Many concrete examples, sample classroom dialogues, and exercises for teachers bring the material to life. Helpful appendices include suggestions for trade books that help children enlarge their vocabulary and/or have fun with different aspects of words.
|Introduction to Linden Scripting Language for Second Life
|Jeff Heaton
|The Linden Scripting Language allows residents of the Second Life World to program the three dimensional objects around them. Without this programming objects built in Second Life are motionless and non-interactive. Adding a script enables an object to interact with the world around it. Second Life scripts allow objects such as cars, planes, amusement park rides, weapons and other entertainment devices to be created. This book teaches the beginning Second Life programmer to make use of the basics of the Linden Scripting Language. Language fundamentals, such as variables, loops, lists, events, functions and state machines are covered. The book then moves to more advanced topics such as user interaction and non-physical movement. Later chapters show how to use the Second Life physics engine to create vehicles.
|The Language of Towns and Cities
|Dhiru A. Thadani
|The final word on the language of urban planning and design. The Language of Towns and Cities is a landmark publication that clarifies the language by which we talk about urban planning and design. Everyday words such as "avenue," "boulevard," "park," and "district," as well as less commonly used words and terms such as "sustainability," "carbon-neutral," or "Bilbao Effect" are used with a great variety of meanings, causing confusion among citizens, city officials, and other decision-makers when trying to design viable neighborhoods, towns, and cities. This magnificent volume is the fruit of more than a decade of research and writing in an effort to ameliorate this situation. Abundantly illustrated with over 2,500 photographs, drawings, and charts, The Language of Towns and Cities is both a richly detailed glossary of more than seven hundred words and terms commonly used in architecture and urban planning, and a compendium of great visual interest. From "A" and "B" streets to Zero Lot and Zeitgeist, the book is at once comprehensive and accessible. An essential work for architects, urban planners, students of design, and all those interested in the future of towns and cities, this is destined to become a classic in its field.
|Learn Java for Android Development
|Jeff Friesen
|Android development is hot, and many programmers are interested in joining the fun. However, because this technology is based on Java, you should first obtain a solid grasp of the Java language and its foundational APIs to improve your chances of succeeding as an Android app developer. After all, you will be busy learning the architecture of an Android app, the various Android-specific APIs, and Android-specific tools. If you do not already know Java fundamentals, you will probably end up with a massive headache from also having to quickly cram those fundamentals into your knowledge base. Learn Java for Android Development teaches programmers of any skill level the essential Java language and foundational Java API skills that must be learned to improve the programmer's chances of succeeding as an Android app developer. Each of the book's 10 chapters provides an exercise section that gives you the opportunity to reinforce your understanding of the chapter's material. Answers to the book's more than 300 exercises are provided in an appendix. Additionally, author Jeff Friesen has created six bonus chapters that you can download from his personal site, located at http://tutortutor.ca/cgi-bin/makepage.cgi?/books/ljfad. Once you complete this book, you will be ready to dive into Android, and you can start that journey by obtaining a copy of Beginning Android 2. What you'll learn The Java language: This book provides complete coverage of nearly every pre-Java version 7 language feature (native methods are briefly mentioned but not formally covered). Starting with those features related to classes and objects, you progress to object-oriented features related to inheritance, polymorphism, and interfaces. You then explore the advanced language features for nested types, packages, static imports, exceptions, assertions, annotations, generics, and enums. Continuing, you investigate strictfp, class literals, synchronized, volatile, the enhanced for loop statement, autoboxing/unboxing, and transient fields. The book also briefly presents most (if not all) of Java version 7's language features, although not much is said about closures or modules (which were not finalized at the time of writing). Java APIs: In addition to Object and APIs related to exceptions, you explore Math, StrictMath, BigDecimal, BigInteger, Package, Boolean, Character, Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Float, Double, Number, the References API, the Reflection API, String, StringBuffer, System, the Threading API, the collections framework, the concurrency utilities, the internationalization APIs, the Preferences API, Random, the Regular Expressions API, File, RandomAccessFile, stream classes, and writer/reader classes. You will also get a tiny taste of Swing in the context of internationalization. Tools: You will learn how to use the JDK's javac (compiler), java (application launcher), javadoc (Java documentation generator), and jar (Java archive creator, updater, and extractor) tools. You will also receive an introduction to the NetBeans and Eclipse integrated development environments. Although you can develop Android apps without NetBeans or Eclipse, working with these IDEs is much more pleasant. Who this book is for This book is for any programmer (including existing Java programmers and Objective-C [iPhone/iPad] programmers) of any skill level who needs to obtain a solid understanding of the Java language and foundational Java APIs before jumping into Android app development. Table of Contents Getting Started with Java Learning Language Fundamentals Learning Object-Oriented Language Features Mastering Advanced Language Features, Part 1 Mastering Advanced Language Features, Part 2 Exploring the Basic APIs, Part 1 Exploring the Basic APIs, Part 2 Discovering the Collections Framework Discovering Additional Utility APIs Performing I/O Solutions to Exercises

|The Power of Play: Learning What Comes Naturally
|David Elkind
|Today's parents often worry that their children will be at a disadvantage if they are not engaged in constant learning, but child development expert David Elkind reassures us that imaginative play goes far to prepare children for academic and social success. Through expert analysis of the research and powerful examples, Elkind shows how creative, spontaneous play fosters healthy mental and social development and sets the stage for academic learning in the first place. An important contribution to the literature about how children learn, The Power of Play restores play's respected place in children's lives and encourages parents to trust their instincts to stay away from many of the dubious educational products on the market.

Today is the anniversary of President Obama's signing federal health-reform legislation into law. At the time, Democrats promised repeatedly that the public would grow to love it over time. But you may have noticed that left-wing blogs and websites aren't exactly celebrating the occasion.
I guess we're all still waiting to find out what is in it.
Actually, the law's unpopularity may be instead that we know too much about what is in it. I'll have another post later today about things Georgia is, or should be, doing to improve our health-insurance market in spite of ObamaCare. But for now, Emily Miller at Human Events counts down the top 10 failures of ObamaCare in its first year, beginning with:
1. Explodes the Budget Deficit
One year ago, Obama said, "This legislation will also lower costs for…the federal government, reducing our deficit by over $1 trillion in the next two decades. It is paid for. It is fiscally responsible."
Today: ObamaCare is projected to cost at least $2.4 trillion when it is fully implemented. Instead of Obama's promise to reduce the deficit, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that ObamaCare will increase the federal deficit by $260 billion through 2019. The United States has more than $14 trillion in debt already, and will hit the current statutory debt ceiling ($14.3 trillion) in the next couple of months. (italics and links original)
The list continues with:
2. Kills Jobs
3. Lose Your Own Doctor and Health Plan
4. States' Budget Deficits Grow to Possible Bankruptcy
5. Higher Insurance Premiums
6. Crushes Businesses
7. Fewer Americans Have Access to Health Insurance
8. Senior Citizens Lose Medicare Coverage
9. Overburdens Small Business
10. Tax Hikes
You can read the explanations for items 2-10 here.

Saw some other cites with similar "celebrations" today. Have you noticed the concerted leftist effort to avoid the name "ObamaCare?" Think they may perceive a downside for 2012 political campaigning.

Is Kyle Wingfield under the impression that if you tell a lie enough times, then it somehow becomes true?
From the CBO Director's Blog–
Cost Estimate for H.R. 2, Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act
"For the most part, the budgetary impact of repealing the health care legislation is similar to the impact of enacting it, with the opposite sign…
CBO and JCT estimate that, on balance, the direct spending and revenue effects of enacting H.R. 2 [to repeal the health care reform law] would cause a net increase in federal budget deficits of $210 billion over the 2012-2021 period…
Because PPACA and the Reconciliation Act were projected to reduce deficits in the decade following the 10-year projection period, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2 [to repeal the health care reform law] would increase federal deficits during the decade following the initial 10-year period."

Kyle: don't you ever get tired of lying about healthcare reform?
2. Kills Jobs-whose job? the current unemployment rate has absolutely nothing to do with healthcare, except those that lost their jobs, lost the healthcare plans they used to have. One can thank the republican bankers and financiers who played casino with everyone's livilhood. Anyway, with all of the newly insured Americans, there will be an increase in the number of jobs in the healthcare industry; someone has to take care of all of these folks.
3. Lose Your Own Doctor and Health Plan: which is a total lie. Now one can loose one's doctor if they choose not to participate in the healthcare plan offered by your employer or choose not to accept assignment with the Medicare program. Oboma, has nothing to do with this. This is happening already – I cannot tell you how many doctors I have had in the past with my employers healthcare plan that just did not accept my plan. Now, I check at the end of the year before I make my upcoming choices, to see if my doctor is participating next year. In fact, I have lost healthcare plans I liked; MY EMPLOYER choose not to renew with the old company, so I had to make other choices. Obama had and will have nothing to do with this.
4. States' Budget Deficits Grow to Possible Bankruptcy: the state are already in trouble financially, because of the comments in #2. Try raising taxes a small bit to cover needed services, instead of continuing to deny about 20% of the popluation medical care. Obama had nothing to do with these mess; it was inherited.
5. Higher Insurance Premiums: this has been going on for the last 20 years that I am aware of. Now everyone makes a big deal, but the practice has been around for a long time and Obama had nothing to do with this. This has to do with the greed and avarice of the private medical insurers and the unearned wealth the executives want.
6. Crushes Businesses: I do believe that started under Bush and has grown in size under Obama; again, see comments in #2. Currently, most of the top 1000 corporations are posting sizeable profits; so either their businesses are overcharging customers or business is a lot better than reported! Offering private medical insurance to employees is a good thing; use some of the profits to reward your employees for all of their hard work. They should reap the rewards of their labor, not just the executives and stockholders.
7. Fewer Americans Have Access to Health Insurance: this is going on anyway. Employers have beend dropping medical plans for a variety of reasons, long before Obama came one to the scene. That is one reason why employees go elsewhere, because, medical insurance is part and parcile of one's renumeration or salary package and an employer taking away health insurance, is a cut in salary – few folks stick around for that treatment. Anyway, that's one reason why the health insurance exchanges are being created. A marketplace for insurance companies to find and get new customers, heretofore, not in the market for a variety of reasons.
8. Senior Citizens Lose Medicare Coverage: No that is not true. At age 65 and if a citizen, a senior is eligible for Medicare and cannot be thrown off of the program. That is why the insurance premiums are deducted from their social security check. The Medicare Advantage programs only served one purpose and that was to take money from seniors for benefits already offered under the core program. Those who have lost the Medicare Advantage program have shown no decrease in care.
9. Overburdens Small Business: !!?? Since when is caring for employees, who do the work, help make the profit and make the owner wealthy, an overburden. AND, JUST WHERE ARE THESE FOLKS TO GO WHEN THEY NEED MEDICAL CARE? You republicans never seem to have an answer for that question. Probably because you don't care about anyone who isn't wealthy.
10. Tax Hikes; Maybe it is time for Americans to pay for the government they want. Tax hikes are the cost of living in a free society with a minimum standard of living. All one has to do is look at the 3rd world countries and see that they do not have what we have.. .and why, because, they have not banded together to improve the lot of the average citizen. Tax allow a community to have resources to buy what they need. . .like sewers, street lights, sidewalks, paved roads, water shed resources, public schools, a profession police force, universities, medical research institutions, vaccines, a public health service, NASA, etc.
Taxes are the cost of doing business in the community and benefit the entire community. Denying medical insurance to about 20% of the community is not an answer to anything, but selfishness and greed. So Kyle, I will ask again. . . what are people without private medical insurance going to do if ObamaCare goes away?

Kyle here is the reaction of the Japanese who has a nuclear power plant close to their home……….
"What gets me is that I feel we were sacrificed. We are the ones living next to these reactors, so that people in Tokyo can have the conveniences they are accustomed to. Everybody wants electricity, and I suppose this is the age we live in," he said. "But the nuclear plants really messed us up. We can't start thinking about our future until their situation is cleaned up."
No wonder Germany is closing all nuclear plants.

Republicans control the House and could get something reasonable through the Senate. Where is the plan?

- The good things from ObamaCare
Children allowed to stay on their parents' health insurance plans until their 26th birthday.
- A 10% tax on indoor tanning services. (Sorry, Snooki.)
- Seniors receive a $250 rebate to help cover the so-called "donut hole" in Medicare drug coverage
- Free preventative care covered by Medicare and private plans. (So, when your company says, "Good news, you now get free health-care screenings, child well visits, physicals and other preventative care," that comes from the health-care bill.)
- Nursing mothers to be allowed lactation breaks
- Insurance companies no longer allowed to discriminate against children with pre-existing conditions
- Government-run insurance plan set up for adults with preexisting conditions who are denied coverage
- Government-run long-term care program set up. For those who participate, people pay premiums for five years and then will receive benefits if they need them — "whether they are 20-somethings in snowboard accidents or 80-somethings with Parkinson's disease," the New York Times wrote.
- Insurance companies barred from placing lifetime caps on benefits
- Insurance companies barred from dropping patients' coverage when they get sick
- Insurance companies must prove they spend 80% to 85% of premium revenue on medical services.
- Insurance companies required to disclose rate increases (and the reason) of 10% or more
- Small businesses (with fewer than 50 employees) begin receiving tax credits covering 35% of premiums to help them buy coverage. (This credit jumps to 50% in 2014.)
- States receive billions in funding for community health centers
- Drug companies face $2.5 billion in fees (rises in later years)
- Creation of a government research institute created in to examine the effectiveness of medical treatments
- Establishment of a Medicare Independent Advisory Board, which will be tasked with trying to keep
Medicare spending down and submitting legislative proposals to do so. It will first submit recommendations in 2016.

The problem with "Obamacare" for me is not the bill that is currently law but the law as it will be in 10 years after several expansions of the current law.
See the history of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid And CHIP. All now inflated way beyond the original laws.
And for the expansion of those original laws we can thank Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama.
Notice that both the Republicans and Democrats are all guilty as sin.
There are no innocents here. We have an 80 year history of the Expansion of Government that no president as attempted to slow down.
Also note that I left out Ford and Carter. I cannot find where they expanded anything pertaining to the programs under discussion. But maybe I did not look closely enough.

"insurance companies must prove they spend 80% to 85% of premium revenue on medical services."
With virtually no control on costs. Many cost containment plans are excluded from exemption to the MLR and therefore will be discontinued. The major "cut" of Obamacare is to earnings of insurance agents who are the consumers advocate.

Merkel, in a speech to lower-house lawmakers in Berlin today, said her decision to close Germany's seven oldest nuclear plants for three months while checks are carried out on the industry is guided by the principle of "safety first." The government will also present a plan for speeding up the transition to alternate energies such as wind power, she said.

It's a serious question because you originally posted an excerpt stating that the CBO estimates that the health care reform law will increase the deficit. Then, when I posted text from the CBO's website exposing the lie, your response was that CBO estimates can't be trusted.
In short, you're busted!

Like many, I disagree with how the healthcare reform process was handled. And I squarely blame Pelosi and Reid (two folks who I just don't like and who have created a lot of problems unnecessarily). BUT, I'm glad that healthcare reform is occurring, because it was sorely needed and obviously never going to happen with the GOP in charge. Dubious and Boehner/McConnell gave us Iraq, yet ignored soaring healthcare costs and a faulty delivery system.
Is the current version final? No. Will it change somewhat in the next few years? Yes, I should hope so. Is it the end of America as we know it, as most conservatives would love to believe? Hardly. Will it be the basis of an exponentially improved health delivery system? Most likely. Consider the EHR provisions in ARRA and HITECH funding, which encourage hospitals and providers to move to electronic medical records and sensible data sharing (not proprietary hoarding) to improve care delivery and establish Accountable Care Organizations. Like the European models on which it's based, this will dramatically shift care from a fee for service model to a fee for performance model, and any honest physician or provider will agree that this is the best approach to deliver effective, efficient care.
It ain't perfect, but unlike Iraq, it was necessary, and it will improve the lives and livelihood of Americans for generations to come. And it will likely be cheaper…

Study: Massachusetts Health Reform Did Not Reduce Medical Bankruptcies.
The Los Angeles Times (3/9, Brown) "Booster Shots" blog reports, "Studying medical bankruptcies in Massachusetts, whose recent healthcare reform was a model for national reform, researchers found that while new insurance rules increased the number of people who had coverage, those rules did not improve coverage — leaving many still struggling with medical debt." Notably, "proponents of the national healthcare reform passed into law last year have claimed that it would reduce medical bankruptcy in the United States by helping more Americans get insurance." But, this study "suggests that a reduction in bankruptcies is unlikely."

Repubs hate Obamacare because they are afaid that it will cover deadbeats. Period.
I think Obamacare is a good thing. Hopefully the Obamacare trend continues.
I have health insurance. All premiums just went up on March 1st. My son broke his arm…wife had a medical issue. Between the two…we are out of almost 1 grand. $200 for an emergency room visit? Really?
Health Insurance is a joke. Its good for annual check ups, but if you are really hurt…you get poked for thousands. The amount I pay now just few years back would have my family covered in a top tier plan. Today..its the most worthless garbage on the market.
Insurers and Republicans want the greed to continue, while most want this nonsense to stop by any means necessary!!!!

Pipes Says ACOs Will Lower Health Quality, Increase Costs.
Sally C. Pipes, president and CEO at the Pacific Research Institute, wrote in Forbes (3/1) that CMS "will soon issue new regulations that could completely restructure American healthcare — and not for the better. The vehicles for this restructuring are called 'Accountable Care Organizations' (ACOs), and the president and his allies see them as a way to improve care and reduce costs." But, Pipes argued that "ACOs amount to little more than the old HMOs of the 1990s — which Americans detested — and will yield lower-quality, centralized care that ends up costing patients more."

carlosgvv ….the money actually goes to shareholders pockets. Healthcare was never supposed to be for profit. It was a community idea that said…pay in for the greater good. If you get sick you will be covered. Now with the for profit system…its pay in…and if you get sick we will pay for some and whatever we do not cover will go to incentives to doctors to not push care. After that, we give the rest to stockholders.


text:
Jensen keeps to 1 yard line. Bison take last timeout. :32 left.
Jensen to Vraa over middle for 7 yards and first down. Jensen got hammered, hung in there. Great throw and catch. Jensen on fire since terrible interception in third quarter.
:47 left. Bison 3rd and 3 at at K State 14. Yowza. What a game.
That was a HOLE for Ojuri on that run. Bison getting closer. 1 and 10 at K State 21 1:30 left.
Kansas State's Demonte Hood was DESTROYED by Gimmestad on that 8 yard run by Jensen. And he got hurt, too.
This crowd is dead. Bison have taken them out of it.
NDSU has converted 3 third downs this drive. 3:32 remaining. 21-17 Kansas State with Bison possessing ball at Wildcats 46.
Crockett carries for four yards and first down on 3rd and 3. Bison drive alive 1 and 10 at own 42.
third down and 11 for Bison at own 19. Lang catches short pass from Jensen and gets to 31. Big play. Drive alive.
K State punts. Into end zone. Bison have all they could ask for. Down 21-17 with 8:58 and chance to drive for the lead. Lot of time left and lot of things can happen. But Bison are hanging tough with K State. They can play with a team of this level. Impressive no matter what happens the rest of way.
Third down and 12 for Kansas State. Don't like either of first two play calls by K State. Now sacked on third down. Emanuel on sack. Good stand by Bison defense. See what K State does.
Now this under review. Ruling on field stands.
Waters sneaks. Very close. Will measure. ... And ... First down. First down Wildcats at Bison 30.
Review says short. K State going for it.
Waters scrambles for 12 yards on 3rd and 12 and first down to Bison 30. Big play. Bison looked to have him contained a couple of times and he escaped. QB is a playmaker for Kansas State. Play now under review.
END OF THIRD QUARTER: 21-17 Kansas State leads. Bison outscored 14-10 in third quarter. After a wobbly start to the second half when it looked like the game might be getting away from them, Bison answer with long drive for TD and a FG after a long run by Ojuri. Bison can still win this game. And they aren't going to get blown out.
Bison short on 3rd and 8. 4th and 2. Line up for 41 yard try ... and GOOD. 21-17 Kansas State with :12 left in third quarter. Things sort of fizzled after Ojuri's big run. But points are points.
Bison defense holds. Good K State punt to 2 yard line. And then .. BAM. Ojuri breaks 66-yard run on first down to Wildcats 32.
Bison need to hold K State here. Get the ball back. ... And Waters hits Thompson on big pass play on first down. 19 yards. Thompson WIDE, and I mean, WIDE open.
Jensen hits Zach Vraa on 9-yard TD pass with 3:43 remaining in third quarter. Keller adds PAT. 21-14 Kansas State leads. Just what the Bison needed. Sustained drive that kept defense off the field and got some points. 12 plays, 75 yards, 6:15.
Billy Turner called for false start at 5:22 remaining in third quarter. First Bison penalty.
Surprisingly, not many cramps so far. But that will change as game progresses. K State player down on field. It appears to be cramp and trainers stretching leg. Ooh .. maybe not. Travis Britz, sophomore DL is player limping off field and now my guess is ankle, not cramp.
Ruling upheld by video.
Jensen quarterback keeper under review.
Bison go for it on quick snap on 4th and less than 1. Jensen just crosses 41 yard line of Kansas State and gets good spot. First down for Bison. Another big first down to keep Bison defense off field. And perhaps a break.
That helps Bison. Jensen hits Smith over middle for 19 yards on third and 5. NDSU needed a first down to keep the ball for another set of downs.
Now we'll see what NDSU has in the tank. Bison need a sustained drive or the floodgates might open. Still 9:58 left in third quarter. Lot of game left and NDSU getting handled.
Daniel Sams in at QB for K State after timeout. Sams takes it end zone on keeper for TD. Kid is fast and a TD machine. Kick good. 21-7 Kansas State with 9:58 remaining. 6 plays, 36 yards, 3:06. Yards really starting to rack up against Bison now. Might be long second half.
K State quarterback Waters is a heck of a passer. Big time junior college recruit. 16 for 20, 225 yards and 2 TDs so far. No answer for NDSU.
Let's see how NDSU answers now that momentum clearly with K State. And there is your answer: Dante Barrett steps in front of Jensen pass over middle for easy pick. K State ball 1 and 10 at NDSU 36. Jensen must not have seen Barrett. Bad play. All the weight goes back on NDSU defense.
Lockett catches 56 yard TD pass from Waters. Wide open. K State speed outside killing NDSU in passing game. He beat Williams. 3 plays, 70 yards. All passes. 14-7 Kansas State with 13:59 left in third quarter.
NDSU's Carlton Littlejohn appears to have leg cramps. First player on field I've noticed with cramping issues. Will be more to come, guaranteed.
Attendance: 53,351. Big crowd even by Kansas State standards.
NDSU uses pooch kick to start second half to keep ball away from Lockett. Bohl coah
Second half starting.
General first-half thoughts: NDSU not overmatched for sure. Will have trouble stopping K State passing game in second half. But Bison also can move ball on Wildcats. Dropped TD pass by Vaadeland HUGE. Missed FG by Keller big. Bison had two chances to take the lead and didn't.
STAT LEADERS: NDSU ... Ojuri rushing 6-31; Jensen passing 7-15-0 44 yards 1 TD; Smith receiving 3-21 1 TD; Williams 6 tackles. Kansas State ... Hubert rushing 6-24; Waters passing 12-16-1 148 yards 1 TD; Lockett receiving 4-40, Thompson 3-74 1 TD; Slaughter 8 tackles.
First half ends after 38 yard run by Ojuri. 7-7 tie in Manhattan.
Bison 1 and 10 at own 37. Short pass over middle for 5 yards. Bison not hurrying.
Bison hold on third down, call timeout. K State will punt.
Still 7-7 with 1 minute left in half.
Bison called for holding, but K State declines penalty. Bison will try 34 yard FG. Adam Keller MISSES FG, hits left upright and it bounces away. Bad ending to a series for NDSU. Two missed scoring opportunities on same drive. Will that be costly later?
Kevin Vaadeland WIDE OPEN in end zone. Pass a bit high, but Vaadeland drops it. Bad mistake by Bison there. Cost them a touchdown.
Two incomplete passes after big turnover. 3rd and 10 at 29. Bison run delayed draw to Derrick Lange for 15 yard run. Huge first down. 1 and 10 at K State 15.
Massive play by Marcus Williams on a terrible pass by waters. As play breaking down he tries to force sideline pass, Williams easily intercepts at K State 29. First and 10 with 3:54 left.
Waters in shotgun and snap comes too early. Bounces down to 5 where Waters recovers. Loss of 20. Big break for NDSU, whose defense is struggling.
And just as I say that, K State rips off 17 yard run on first down by John Hubert. Yikes.
Presume K State will keep passing. Nothing indicates NDSU can stop.
K State defense stiffens. 3rd and 13, Jensen sacked by Blake Slaughter for 7 yard loss. But good punt downed by long snapper Michael Murphy at K State 3. Wildcats take over with 5:14 remaining in first half.
Bison driving. A couple good runs by Ojuri first downs. Jensen hits Smith for 11 yards on 3rd and 9 for big first down to keep drive alive with 7 minutes left in half. 1 and 10 Bison at K State 27.
K State QB Waters 11 for 13 for 146 yards and 1 TD with 10 minutes left in first half. Bison have to do better.
Kansas State completed 4 straight passes for 78 yards on that scoring drive. Replay showed Heagle turned his head for just a beat to keep an eye on Waters and that allowed Thompson to run right past him. Caught ball at 10 and coasted in.
First BIG K State play. 45 yard TD pass from Waters to Thompson, who beat Heagle. Wide open. Waters getting no pressure and Bison d-backs having tough time keeping up with Wildcats speedy receivers. 4 plays, 78, 1:27. Kick good. 7-7 tie game. Momentum change.
K State getting all kinds of yards passing. QB getting time. Wildcat offensive line doing good job and talented recivers getting open. Wide open in some cases.
Waters completes 20 yard pass to Thompson on nice play. Waters vacates pocket throws on run along sidelines. Nice catch, too. Reviewed but upheld.
K State's defense comes up big next. On third and 1, K State defensive line blows up run up the middle to Crockett and stops Bison. Wildcats needed that. Big play and NDSU forced to punt.
Wow. Fourth down play. K state needs 3 yards. Waters keeps, hit by Jirik after two yards. NDSU takes over on downs at NDSU 25. Bison defense again comes up huge.
Williams defends Lockett one on one and breaks up pass in end zone. Looked like equal jostling back and forth but crowd screams for penalty. No flag. That was a matchup of guys who be playing in the NFL some day. Fun moment. Whole place was focused on the ball and two outstanding players.
Impressive first quarter for NDSU. Besides leading the game, they have clearly established they can play with the Wildcats. Crowd has been quiet. Couldn't ask for better start, though K State now beginning to move ball.
End of first quarter: NDSU 7, Kansas State 0.
K State QB Jake Waters definitely has strong arm. Completes two passes in a row to Curry Sexton and Tyler Lockett for two straight first downs. ... Make it three straight. Another completion to Lockett. This kid is zipping it now. K State opening up a little after trailing 7-0.
Bison exploiting inexperienced K State defense. Have had little trouble moving ball even though first two drives ended in punts. K State has yet to establish that it can handle Bison.
Jensen across middle to Smith for 5 yards and Bison TD. Great start for NDSU. Offensive line establishing. Receivers getting open. Very efficient. PAT kick good. 7-0 Bison with :56 left in first.
Jensen keeper 5 yards to 5.
Bison offensive line hammering K State up middle. Ojuri runs staight up middle for 8 yards to 10.
Another sleight of hand play for Bison. End around to Smith, pitches to Cooper Wahlo, who gets 5 yards to KSU 18.
Huge play NDSU. Dudzik returns punt 49 yards to K State 23. 1 and 10 Bison with 3:39 left in first.
3rd and 3, Waters runs planned keeper. Bison crush it. Heagle in on the play from safety. Impressive series again for NDSU. K State punts.
1 and 10 K State from their own 12.
Bison have to like pace of game so far. They've picked up a first down on first two possessions, ran some time off clock, established they can get receivers open, get a few yards on ground. Defensively, NDSU has been in good position because of field position. Bison would probably like to pick up a couple more first downs and run more time, but it is 0-0 with 6:50 left in first K State has only had one possession.
Carey Woods of Bemidji, redshirt freshman for NDSU, makes first catch for 7 yards to set up 3 and 3. But Bison fail to pick it up on third down run and have to punt.
Bison get first down with a nice out to Vraa and two straight runs by Crockett up the middle. Bison o-line opening holes for Crockett. 1 and 10 at NDSU 39.
Bison take over 1 and 10 at NDSU 27, 10:03 left in first quarter.
3rd and 12, Waters holds and runs out of pocket. Short of first down. Good coverage. Bison DE Kyle Emanuel shaken up but runs off field on own power. K state will punt.
Waters completes pass to Tremaine Thompson on second down for 9 yard game to 23. First down. K State offense looks to give QB option of passing or running. Tough to stop.
JC transfer Jake Waters starts at QB. First game for K State. 1 and 10 at KSU 8. Waters takes too much time, looks confused, has to take timeout before his first snap as Wildcat. Not good start. Good feeling for Bison, though.
Incompete pass on 3rd down. 4th down Bison, forced to punt. NDSU was in nice rhythm on first two plays, but second down sack made third and long. Good start stalls.
Brock Jensen sacked on second down loss of 5. 3rd and 9 at KS 44.
Ryan Smith around left side for 18 yards on first play. 1 and 10 at KS 43. Wow.
Touchback kick by K State. 1 and 10 at KS 20, 15:00 remaining in first.
7:33 -- K State wins toss. Defers choice to second half. NDSU will received kickoff.
7:29 -- Bison run onto field to boos by K State crowd. This is whole different deal. There are about 47,000 people extremely fired up for K State.
7:24 -- My prediction on game: Kansas State 27, NDSU 13. Different level of BCS opponent in K State opposed to Minnesota, Kansas, Colorado State etc.
7:20 -- Temperature announced at 98 degrees, 103 heat index, wind out of west at 3. Second highest temp at start of K State game. Highest is 109!
7:15 -- Pretty nice Bison fan numbers in the southeast corner of the stadium. Of course, they screamed "BISON!" at the end of the national anthem.
7:07 p.m. - This crowd is energized. This will be very hostile environment for NDSU. Nice NDSU continent in stands, but far outnumbered and out-yelled by purple-clad partisans.7:02 p.m. - Shade now covering entire field, meaning things are cooling down somewhat on field. At about 5 p.m., temperature on field was recorded at ... wait for it ... 137 degrees.
7:02 p.m. -- Shade now covers entire field, meaning temperature should be dropping. The temperature on the field at 5 p.m. was recorded at ... no lie ... 137 degrees.

You have the wine, now, what to put it in? On too many occasions I have been served wine in plastic cups, to my horror and chagrin, it's like serving warm beer on a hot day. (Shudder)
Enter the wine glass, the chariot that will bring those yummy fermented grapes to your mouth. Your classic wine glass has three parts the bowl, stem, and foot.
The Foot
The foot is what holds your glass up when you put it down, though, in my opinion one should never let go of their glass.
The Stem
Next comes the stem, this part's important, you hold your glass by the stem so as not warm the wine by cupping the bowl, and thus altering its flavor.
Red, Red Wine
Listening? Here's the important stuff, when serving red you will want to use a wider bowl, allowing more air in, this process of oxidation alters the flavor and aroma allowing you to taste the wine at its greatest potential.
The White Stuff
White wine is lighter, and fresher, you want to preserve the crisp, clean flavor, therefore you will want to use a wine glass with a smaller mouth, which reduces surface area and in turn, the rate of oxidation.
Something Bubbly
Finally, when serving sparkling wine or champagne use a flute glass, in order to keep that sparkle everyone loves.

- Excellent food, uneven serviceJamesGuyVIPDined on 9/21/2014Our food was really excellent, or service was somewhat uneven...we were just a couple, seated next to the kitchen, a bit loud but we understand that...waited about 1 hour for our entree...our waiter stopped by and said there was a problem with the kitchen...the problem was a lot of loud, unnecessary talk and horse-play during a Monday night diner-hour. When my wife complained we were offered an excellent desert, on the house...a bit disappointing on the serviceSpecial Features:
- Great for Brunch2BeratedDined on 9/21/2014First time visit and we were impressed. The service was exceptional, the food was prepared with care and tasted great. The overall experience was outstanding. Definitely a place for Brunch. We will be trying dinner on our next visit.Special Features:

Great service by Luke who attended on us like a true pro! He made great suggestions and answered all our questions while keeping the delicious warm bread coming.

- Evening to rememberDoinitzaDined on 9/18/2014We went for our anniversary dinner and enjoyed the whole experience. The food is unmatched - imaginative and delectable, the service superior - attentive but never intrusive, the atmosphere elegant, but not stuffy. I wish there were more stars to offer.

Everything was wonderful and we look forward to going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great first time thereRyanDined on 9/13/2014Food was excellent. Started off with the tuna tartare which was the best I've ever had-had some avocado and I believe some mango. flavors paired great with each other. Then went for one of the specials, yellow snapper, which was also excellent. Fish had a great flavor and was well prepared. Came with some rice/succotash with lobster in it, that again paired well with the other flavors on the dish. Wife got the tomato soup and then had the crab cakes and both were great. Friends had the beef tenderloin which they liked as well. For dessert, went with the soufflé - nothing over the top but what I expected. Overall 5/5 on the food...definitely will go back. Service=great as well. Ambiance was niceSpecial Features:
- Excellent food and serviceValsDined on 9/13/2014We had a reservation for 4 at 6:45 on a Saturday night. We were greeted outside & our reservation confirmed. We went up the elevator & were greeted again & promptly escorted to our seats. Our drink orders were taken as soon as we sat down. Our waiter did an excellent job of informing us of the specials & then gave us plenty of time to make our decisions. Out table had the fried oysters, spinach salad, salmon and both of the steaks on the menu. For desert we had the coconut pie. The salads were very fresh and tasted wonderful. The oysters & pie were delicious. The steaks were the most tender steak I have ever eaten. The potatoes that came with the steak were a delicious blend of cheese and cream, like Au gratin style. Excellent dining.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reliably Great Service and FoodLove3dineVIPDined on 9/11/2014Silo has never let me down. The food, wine list, and service are always excellent. We tried their crab cake as a starter and it is infinitely better than the ones you find at restaurants that specialize in seafood. The lamb and redfish entrees were delicious! Jacob was friendly and efficient without ever being intrusive. Also, both hostesses were very accomodating, especially since we were running a little late. Silo continues to raise the bar. Keep up the good work SIlo !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent Experience!VelosterpilotDined on 9/7/2014My wife and I were looking to try something different for our 12th wedding anniversary. We decided to try a nice Sunday brunch at Silo. From the moment we emerged from the elevator we knew we had chosen the right place. The hostess was friendly, and seated us at a table overlooking the main entrance. I can only imagine how beautiful it is after dark. My wife ordered the shrimp and grits. I chose the oysters. Both entrees were delicious and served with a beautiful presentation. For dessert, my wife chose the toasted coconut pie. I had the chocolate mousse. Both desserts made you want to lick the dish! Just like the food, the service was top notch! Our server, Eric, was attentive without being intrusive. We look forward to our next visit!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 9/5/2014Silo is always a relaxed experience with highly attentive and knowledgeable staff. My partner and I ordered the seafood and NY strip specials, respectively. The fish was a new type for her and was one of the best she says she has ever tried. My steak was perfectly prepared and the mixed seafood au gratin eas a nice tangy side. We never wanted for anything during our meal and our server was a delight. We plan to return often.Special Features:
- Great restaurant good food.MilkmanDined on 9/5/2014This is a great restaurant. One of the best in SA. The menu has just been changed and not for the better. Can't believe there is no shrimp on the starter menu.Special Features:
- Slow serviceKsum66Dined on 9/4/2014I have been to silos 1604 on several occasions and usually I would give it 4 stats across the board however on this particular night, the service was slow-took 2 1/2 hours for wine, entree and desert . Our server was friendly but gave us wrong information several times throughout the evening. The pork shank was extremely dry but didn't want to send it back because I figured it would take too long to get another. Unfortunately we were celebrating a birthday and it left a sour taste for the eveningSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Until The Drums StartedPleasedPatronDined on 8/29/2014There was a bit of a wait when we first got to restaraunt while they got our table ready. They were about 15 min past our reservation before we were seated, but that wasn't too bad since we could grab drinks at the bar below while we waited. What was bad -- terrible infact -- was the band starting up in the bar below while the place was still packed. It completely ruined the atmosphere. I told my date it felt like I was about to fall through the floor at times. It was incredibly loud and all the more unacceptable given the two locations appear to be under the same management.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good eatingBigblkbldmnDined on 8/28/2014It's a very good restaurant with great service. If I had to pick on them it's because there are some foods the they cannot taylor because they are made in the morning. Although fresh they can't or won't make some things specific to the customer. Example Shrimp and Grits. I'm lactose and cannot have dairy. Well as a cook I know how to make it without cheese, milk or butter and there great. I know it's a lot to ask but maybe they can do a lactose menu with the same things. Yea. Overall it's a great restaurant.Special Features:
- serviceIrish4VIPDined on 8/26/2014Great wait staff (especially David) and hostesses who assisted my disabled wife. We love the place and eat there often JimSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 65th birthday celebration!JamesDined on 8/23/2014This is a wonderful, delectable find. One of the best restaurants we have ever been to. The food was spectacular from presentation through taste. Our server Mazi was very special. She was not intrusive, she knew exactly when to come to the table, had a great personality and was probably one of the best servers we have ever had. We were very happy to be there and we will return.Special Features:
- Another Home RunOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/22/2014This is my fourth visit to Silo. Hit it out of the park again. I expected it to be a busy Friday night but we got in ahead of reservations, and quickly had our salads. Menu choices were excellent. My guest commented on the chicken fried oysters. I selected the shrimp and grits. My wife had the salmon. The specials of the night were tempting too. Overall experience was A1.Special Features:
- No surprises, consistantly goodjohnteeDined on 8/22/2014We have been going to Silo's since the 1604 location opened but have reserved it for special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). After our visit on Friday evening (no special occasion, just tired and a little stressed) we agreed that the food, service, ambiance and reasonable prices warranted more frequent visits. We live in a fast changing, high pressure society and we read, hear and see on TV of a world fraught with financial problems and physical danger. There is some stress and even a little fear these days about what the future will bring. An hour or two enjoying good food and service and being confident that it is likely to be the same next time we need a break or are tired and stressed helps smooth out a few bumps.Special Features:

- Date PlaceSCSteveDined on 8/19/2014I reserved an evening for a second date at Silo Elevated Cuisine. I have to say the food was fantastic and the service was the perfect balance of friendly and professional. I'm from wine country in California and was glad to see so many choices of fantastic wines that may not have label recognition. Our bottle of the prisoner was a perfect match for our dinners. My date however didn't work out so well but I will be back even by myself for the food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Good Question: Can I Recycle or Fix Up Old Knives?
How can I dispose of old kitchen knives? I bought a set of knives a couple of years ago and they have since dulled and rusted. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to just throw them in the garbage. I would normally try to make do with them, but I received a better set of knives as a gift recently and kind of wanted to clear out my kitchen drawer.
- Malaika
Malaika, we think this is a great opportunity to recycle or donate the knives - perhaps to a friend who is just setting up her kitchen, or to a thrift store charity. We assume they're steel, and not stainless steel (from the rusting) - so why not scrub them down and have them sharpened? If they are sharpened and clean, they would make a good donation item, and it would keep them out of the landfill a little longer!
If they are in really bad shape, though - totally unusable - we would wrap them securely in several layers of newspaper and trash bags (to keep any sharp edges from poking through) and pitch them.
Any other thoughts on recycling or donating?
10 Comments
If you don't want to pass them on to someone else, perhaps paying to have them sharpened beforehand [a great suggestion, though], you can ask a cutlery place to dispose of them properly.
I used some of my old knives in the garden.
Salvation army will appreciate them I'm sure!
I keep an old chefs knife in my garden bucket.... it is great for cutting root balls when dividing perennials and other gardenly tasks.
salvation army can be picky about what they'll accept. i've had them say no to a couch with a rip in a cushion, and my grandfather had them refuse a washing machine because the gentle cycle didn't work.
Goodwill, or smaller charity/thrift shops, will usually accept and sell just about anything of value.
that being said, you should know where the money will go when they sell your donated items. i donate only to secular, local-minded charities.
One person's garbage is another's treasure. You can bring them to me; I will sharpen them and donate them to a soup kitchen if they are halfway decent. I'm the Samurai Sharpener at the Chelsea Market.
My summer hours are: every other Saturday noon to 6 PM.
After Labor Day: every Wednesday and Saturday, noon to 6 PM.
Thanks for the great suggestions. I wish I could save them for my garden, but alas, my teeny NYC apartment doesn't allow for much more than a flower box (and I don't even have that). Hopefully Margery can fix them up and put them to good use.
I thought carbon steel is meant to rust and look funny after a while, that's why its better than stainless steel - its softer, so the blade can be sharpened to a finer point, which makes it easier to cut things. Its not pretty tho!
PS. I very much like the sound of a Samurai Sharpener!
I have the same problem with a variety of used sharps in my house, sewing needles, knitting needles, X-acto knife blades, various other sharp items. What I do is save a strong soda bottle or a strong Tupperware-type box to put them in, depending on the size, mark it SHARPS very clearly and when it fills up, seal it with heavy plastic packing tape and put it in with the other garbage.
The environment is not bettered by this and I agree that donating them is the best thing, but sometimes things aren't salvageable . . . and at least this way I believe no one is going to get an accidental slice handling my garbage.
We have a recycle program where we accept old knives and then we sharpen them and then donate the knives to schools, churches etc. If you have any questions please contact Bob at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Genital Herpes Health Center
Coping With a Genital Herpes Diagnosis
Dealing With Anger About Having Herpes
Then, ask yourself: Did the person from whom I got genital herpes want to infect me? Again, probably not. Most people with genital herpes don't know they're infected. Unless that person knew, and neglected to tell you, there's no reason for anger. In any case, having sex means you accept the risk of getting a sexually transmitted disease. Don't beat yourself up, or anyone else, because you didn't fully understand the risk.
These are only a few of the personal issues you may face in dealing with your diagnosis. There's also the hard task of telling your partner, the thorny issues involved in dating, and the things you should and shouldn't do when you have sex.
You don't have to deal with all this on your own. If you feel uncomfortable talking about your feelings with people you know, you can hash things over with others who have herpes, in either an online or in-person support group. Be assured that you're not the only person in this situation. A counselor or therapist can also help you resolve some issues.

Plenty of volume. Relatively flat rim of medium thickness for easy playability. Quality brass mouthpieces contribute to the high regard Yamaha has earned among beginning and professional musicians alike. The result of a special approach to design and manufacture, Yamaha mouthpieces deliver the performance and comfort required where they are needed most: where instrument meets musician. The mouthpiece production technique used by Yamaha promises consistent quality mouthpieces, time after time. Other manufacturers use a specific cutting tool to create every mouthpiece, which causes problems as tools start to wear. This can result in inconsistent quality and poor performance. Yamaha's computer-aided design system and computer controlled lathe work together to produce the most precise, consistent mouthpieces in the world.• 17.48 inner diameter

Path details
This Pathway is to be used for revision purposes, predominantly. Whilst the over-arching theme is 'Afterwards,' several further themes ('Disillusionment,' 'Memoirs,' 'Sacrifice') emerge and pupils should be encouraged to explore these.
The main aim of the Pathway is to enable pupils to draw connections between works. This is especially useful for those sitting the AQA Unit 6 paper, 'Reading for Meaning.' They should also be encouraged to analyse literature of different forms (poetry & prose), focusing on how the pieces fit in to literary tradition / the canon.
The tasks relating to the various sources are listed within the 'Page Details' section of the page. Feel free to add to these where necessary.
