"I Want My Mummy!" with Dr. Steve
You may remember Dr. Steve for his talk this summer called "X-raying the Pharaohs." He's back to talk about mummies! Why are we so fascinated by mummies? What is a fact and what is fiction? He'll explore the world of ancient Egyptian mummification; how the mummification process was developed through time, how ancient Egyptian mummies were actually made, and finally, how mummies still influence all of us.

Deloitte comments on latest ONS retail sales data
22 May 2013
Commenting on today's ONS retail sales figures, Ian Geddes, UK head of retail at Deloitte, said: "Today's figures are disappointing but retailers will be looking towards the brightening macro-economic outlook to soften the blow. A range of recent positive indicators show the housing market is regaining a little buoyancy, whilst car sales have also risen. This combined with our own research, suggests that consumer confidence is improving and that purse strings are beginning to loosen, albeit moderately. However, consumers seem to be lacking the incentive to shop. Whilst there is no quick fix, this is a difficult challenge that the high street must recognise and work to address.
"Whilst the domestic retail market is on a slow path to recovery, tapping into high growth international markets remains high on the agenda for many UK retailers. There is real appetite from consumers around the world for British brands. Those firms able to capitalise will continue to deliver very strong results. Recent Deloitte research found that FTSE350 companies deriving more than 70% of their revenues from outside the UK have, on average, performed more strongly than their UK-focussed peers in the last five years. Over this time, turnover for international companies has averaged just over 12% a year, more than twice the rate for companies making more than 70% of their revenues in the UK."

Nuclear Safety at the Centre of New Appointment
Story supplied by LU Press Office
The new Chair of Nuclear Engineering and Decommissioning at Lancaster University says his appointment will help ensure safety across future nuclear programmes in the UK.
Professor Colin Boxall has been appointed to The Lloyd's Register Educational Trust (LRET) Chair in Nuclear Engineering and Decommissioning at Lancaster University, following the official signing of an agreement which will see the LRET provide £755,000 in funding over five years.
The Chair was created at the time of the UK Government's announcement that nuclear power is to form part of the UK's future energy mix.
Previously head of the John Tyndall Nuclear Research Institute and Director of Research at UCLan, Colin Boxall said: "We will be seeking to support the future research and training needs of the UK's nuclear industry, especially in the areas of decommissioning and low carbon energy provision. In particular, we will be concentrating on the risks associated with contamination and the high hazard legacies found at a wide range of nuclear licensed sites across the UK - some of which constitute the biggest sites of diverse risk management in the world."
Lancaster University has strong research expertise in nuclear safety and specialises in education surrounding nuclear engineering. The University has recently been awarded five fully funded studentships from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
Professor Malcolm Joyce, head of Lancaster University's Engineering Department said:
"There are some fascinating and significant research challenges faced by the global renaissance in nuclear power and Lancaster is expanding its internationally-leading expert team in nuclear engineering and decommissioning to appeal to these. The appointment of Professor Boxall is a key achievement in this process that enables Lancaster to expand its Nuclear Engineering research capability that has been made possible through the profound generosity of the LRET."
LRET Director, Michael Franklin, said that the new Chair at Lancaster University is a major step forward in providing the skills that the UK's nuclear industry will need in the future: "Colin Boxall's appointment will see an improved focus on skills in the nuclear industry, providing additional high calibre people and will go a long way towards ensuring safety across future nuclear programme. We agree with the UK Government that safety in the nuclear industry is a priority and can be managed so that the risks are acceptably low. Lancaster University has a proven track record in undergraduate and post graduate education in this field, a broad research portfolio across a number of disciplines as well as strong links with the nuclear industry. We are very pleased to support this important post which will help make a significant contribution to the industry's future needs."
Professor Boxall has worked in research teams with interests in electrochemical engineering and materials science since 1983 (including 9 years at Imperial College). Since 1997, he has attracted £1.5M of research funding from EPSRC, EU and industry and has written over 90 refereed publications, invited book chapters and confidential reports. He is an EPSRC College Member and Chair of the EPSRC Photocatalysis Network's working party on Photocatalysis and the Nuclear Industry. He has given invited lectures to the EPSRC Actinide Chemistry conference, 2003 and the 10th Asian Conference on Solid State Ionics, Sri Lanka, 2006.
The Lloyd's Register Educational Trust was established in 2004. Its principal purpose is to fund advances in transportation, science, engineering and technology education, training and research worldwide for the benefit of all.

No animal testing for synthetic cannabis: New Zealand PM
New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key Monday ruled out testing legal drugs, including synthetic cannabis, on animals, days after parliament banned the drugs' sale until proven as low-risk.
Key said the department of health told him that the tests would have to be done on other species like rabbits as well to see whether the drugs were low-risk for humans.
"As far as I'm concerned if a product needs to be animal tested and is the only way for the Health Department to confirm it is low-risk, then it cannot be manufactured in New Zealand," Key told local channel TVNZ.
"It's one thing to test it on an animal if you are developing a life saving drug for cancer, but it's quite a different issue for a recreational drug," the prime minister added.
New Zealand's government is pushing through a legislation urgently this week to ban the usage of legal highs until proven low-risk for human consumption.
The opposition Labour Party had submitted a petition with 40,000 signatures asking the government to ban animal testing for legal highs.

Kin Bineola and Kin Ya' a Great Houses CLOSED
There is no public access.
Getting Around
A 9-mile long paved loop drive provides driving access to five Chacoan sites in the heart of Chaco Canyon, including Pueblo Bonito, Chetro Ketl, and Casa Rinconada. Parking areas for vehicles and bicycles are located at each site, and trail guides are available. Most self-guided walking trails are about 1/4 mile roundtrip and take 45 minutes to one hour to complete. Pets are not permitted on these trails.
Biking the 9-mile paved loop is a great way to see the sites and experience the canyon. The Wijiji, Casa Chiquita, and Kin Klizhin trails may also be biked. Inquire at the visitor center for a free permit and directions.
Four moderately strenuous hiking trails provide access to more remote sites, petroglyphs, and mesa tops with panoramic vistas. All hikers must obtain a free hiking permit at the visitor center or at the trailheads. Pets are permitted on these trails when leashed.
All trails close at sunset.
Did You Know?
The ancient Puebloans traveled many miles to come to Chaco and brought supplies with them. Over half the pottery found at Chaco was made outside the canyon. More...

by Maya Angelou, RIP
We, this people, on a small and lonely planet
Traveling through casual space
Past aloof stars, across the way of indifferent suns
To a destination where all signs tell us
It is possible and imperative that we learn
A brave and startling truth
And when we come to it
To the day of peacemaking
When we release our fingers
From fists of hostility
And allow the pure air to cool our palms
When we come to it
When the curtain falls on the minstrel show of hate
And faces sooted with scorn are scrubbed clean
When battlefields and coliseum
No longer rake our unique and particular sons and daughters
Up with the bruised and bloody grass
To lie in identical plots in foreign soil
When the rapacious storming of the churches
The screaming racket in the temples have ceased
When the pennants are waving gaily
When the banners of the world tremble
Stoutly in the good, clean breeze
When we come to it
When we let the rifles fall from our shoulders
And children dress their dolls in flags of truce
When land mines of death have been removed
And the aged can walk into evenings of peace
When religious ritual is not perfumed
By the incense of burning flesh
And childhood dreams are not kicked awake
By nightmares of abuse
When we come to it
Then we will confess that not the Pyramids
With their stones set in mysterious perfection
Nor the Gardens of Babylon
Hanging as eternal beauty
In our collective memory
Not the Grand Canyon
Kindled into delicious color
By Western sunsets
Nor the Danube, flowing its blue soul into Europe
Not the sacred peak of Mount Fuji
Stretching to the Rising Sun
Neither Father Amazon nor Mother Mississippi who, without favor,
Nurture all creatures in the depths and on the shores
These are not the only wonders of the world
When we come to it
We, this people, on this minuscule and kithless globe
Who reach daily for the bomb, the blade and the dagger
Yet who petition in the dark for tokens of peace
We, this people on this mote of matter
In whose mouths abide cankerous words
Which challenge our very existence
Yet out of those same mouths
Come songs of such exquisite sweetness
That the heart falters in its labor
And the body is quieted into awe
We, this people, on this small and drifting planet
Whose hands can strike with such abandon
That in a twinkling, life is sapped from the living
Yet those same hands can touch with such healing, irresistible tenderness
That the haughty neck is happy to bow
And the proud back is glad to bend
Out of such chaos, of such contradiction
We learn that we are neither devils nor divines
When we come to it
We, this people, on this wayward, floating body
Created on this earth, of this earth
Have the power to fashion for this earth
A climate where every man and every woman
Can live freely without sanctimonious piety
Without crippling fear
When we come to it
We must confess that we are the possible
We are the miraculous, the true wonder of this world
That is when, and only when
We come to it.

An overview of this competency
Why focus on self-management?
Opportunities to learn to be self-managing
A note about the theoretical sources
Managing self involves self-motivation, a "can-do" attitude, and the ability to establish personal goals, make plans, and set high standards for oneself. It is about students knowing who they are, where they come from and where they fit in.
Students who can manage themselves are enterprising, resourceful, reliable, and resilient. They act appropriately and are aware of the effects their words and actions may have on others. They have strategies for meeting challenges and know when and how to follow someone else's lead or make their own, well-informed choices. (Taken from the draft curriculum definition, April 2006.)
It is important that this key competency is not seen as being only about organisational matters and self-discipline. On one level, "managing self" is about setting, working towards, and monitoring learning goals with reflective self-awareness, and about being organised and ready to learn. It does encompass most elements of the "self-management and competitive skills" and "work and study skills" from the current curriculum framework. And it is also about managing aspects of personal health such as fitness and relaxation that are described in the "physical skills" essential skills grouping. However it also includes much wider cognitive and metacognitive components. It is also about being aware of your strengths and weaknesses as a person and a learner, and being willing and able to use this self-knowledge to approach living and learning tasks strategically.
In the originating DeSeCo work, this key competency emphasises students' developing autonomy as learners—finding out who they are in relation to others, how they learn, how their ideas and skills change over time, and why they think, act, learn, and interact as they do. Seen in this light,
"managing self" is one face of a coin that has "participating and contributing" as the reverse face (see also Section 1). The strong link between managing self and relating to others is also important to keep in mind. Students cannot learn self-management in isolation from their
interactions with others, and they are unlikely to make good progress without support. Autonomy here does not mean "doing it by yourself without help". Indeed, some researchers have found that children left to work alone too often are likely to become more passive and dependent on the teacher—the exact opposite of what this competency intends (Bullock and Muschamp, 2006).
Perhaps the most compelling reason to value this key competency is that it is highly correlated with learning success in school and in tertiary study. The first PISA study found that students who used self-regulating learning strategies were more likely to perform to higher levels on the reading literacy scale than students who did not. However, this research also found only "moderate" use of such strategies by the students in the New Zealand sample (aged 15 years) (Ministry of Education, 2001).
The increasing attention being given to ideas such as self-regulated learning reflects growing awareness of the importance of the metacognitive aspects of learning. Learning to actively manage your own learning is seen as an essential competency for being both willing and able to carry on learning in the years beyond school—so-called "life-long learning". This, in turn, is seen to be important for living in the "knowledge society" when ongoing rapid change means that the learning of most citizens can never stop if we want our economy to be sufficiently competitive to maintain our current living standards (Gilbert, 2005).
Gilbert also identifies a second type of reason that self-management is so important in the knowledge age. It relates to maintaining a healthy sense of our own identity in a complex, fast changing, electronically networked world. From a shared European cultural heritage many of us have inherited ways of thinking about each individual person as a single, unitary entity but:
In the new online forms of communication, the standard model of individuality is long gone. People routinely use Internet communities (chat rooms, online games and so on) to play with their identity, to construct and reconstruct themselves in ways that have very little to do with their real-world, real-time bodies (p. 117).
When the social world is changing rapidly our sense of self and of location becomes a critical anchor when considering how best to respond to that change. Yet there is no one "right" way to be that self anymore. This makes managing oneself an important aspect of wellbeing, as well as of
Another "knowledge era" challenge for managing self relates to the extensive movement of people from place to place. Few communities are homogeneous any more. In New Zealand, culturally diverse classrooms reflect our diversity as a society. Interestingly, when TV One commissioned an advertising campaign to try to position the channel as "heartland" New Zealand, they did so by using an award winning montage of images that emphasised "ever diversifying New Zealanders moving forward together while enjoying the unique heritage of each individual" (Smythe, 2005, emphasis added). The first step to interacting appropriately with others of different cultural backgrounds is knowing yourself and your own culture.
Should "managing self" become an important focus for curriculum planning and actual teaching? As for the two competencies already discussed, issues associated with this question must be addressed because teachers are the people who orchestrate opportunities for students to learn this key competency—at least while they are at school.
"Self-regulated learning" (SRL) and "cognitive engagement" (CE) are overlapping areas of research that encompass aspects of the idea of managing self. One of the recent best-evidence syntheses, completed for the Ministry of Education, highlighted the promotion of SRL as one of 10 characteristics of effective teaching (Alton-Lee, 2003, p.79), which suggests very strongly that this competency should be taught, not caught.
SRL and CE have three key dimensions in common (Fredricks, Blumenfeld, and Paris, 2004; Zimmerman, 2001). Metacognitive dimensions are used to monitor the effectiveness of personal learning, motivational/emotional dimensions include being aware of and using affective dimensions of learning, and behavioural/participation dimensions include purposefully using specific learning strategies. As the next table shows, some of these aspects are under the student's direct control, but other aspects must be provided to support them.
|Extrinsic engagement factors (classroom, teacher, NCEA)
|Intrinsic engagement factors
Co-operative participation
Autonomous/self regulated participation
Clear, consistent goals and clarity of expectations
Authentic and challenging tasks
Supportive teachers/class climate
Peer acceptance
Need to belong/make an effort
Need to demonstrate competence
Growing need to excercise autonomy in learning
Attainment value
Utility value
Cost/benefit beliefs
Teachers support/class climate
Authentic and challenging tasks
Seeing the value in learning
Linking effort to learning
Investment in learning (performance vs. mastery goals)
Learning strategies (surface vs. deep)
|Authentic and challenging tasks (over controlling environments diminish autonomy)
Use of metacognitive strategies
Goal setting
Use of study strategies
Clearly students cannot do these things alone. Skilful teaching can foster SRL and CE. However it is equally true, as for "thinking" and for "using languages, symbols, and texts", that the teacher cannot ultimately do these things for the student. Self-management improves with active practice.
Zimmerman and Kitsantas (1997) observed and analysed the processes of learning new skills to describe a four-stage learning journey to self-regulation:
Some aspects of the widely used "habits of mind" programme, discussed in the "thinking" section also focus on self-management. Examples include: persisting, managing impulsivity, taking responsible risks, and remaining open to continuous learning.
Teaching students to identify and use particular "learning styles" is one popular method of addressing self-management of learning. A team of UK researchers recently reviewed a wide range of learning styles models and found that the claims made for most of them were over-rated, that the evidence that they "worked" was not convincing, nor the theory underpinning them sound. They found competing, fragmented theoretical ideas with no common language for talking about what learning styles actually are (Coffield, Moseley, Hall, and Ecclestone, 2004). These researchers warned of the dangers of stereotyping and labelling students, and said it was by no means clear how teaching should change to accommodate different "styles". They reported that large-scale analyses of "effect sizes"6 show that both teaching for metacognition and the use of formative assessment are more likely to make a difference to students' learning. With only so much time and energy to make change in practice, they recommended that teachers focus on one
or both of these.
As the above table shows, goal setting is an important aspect of managing oneself as a learner. Realistic, specific learning goals allow students to gather feedback about their learning that they can act on. Learning is experienced as an opportunity to build knowledge, rather than a chance to simply test intelligence or compare levels of performance. Obviously students cannot do all this by themselves. In order to set learning goals in relation to their school learning, students need to first have a clear idea of what the teacher sees as important to learn in that context, at that time. While the aim is to have students become more skilled at evaluating their own learning success over time, the teacher is an important source of feedback, and must model this in ways that do help students build knowledge. Since many aspects of these learning challenges are subject- specific, fostering self-management is the responsibility of every teacher with whom students work.
In their extensive literature review, Jennifer Fredricks and her team identified a gap in current research knowledge about young school-age children's ability to self-regulate their learning. They suggest this gap exists because of the view that metacognitive abilities increase with age and hence self-regulation is developmentally inappropriate for young children. A counter view suggests that even very young children can learn to manage aspects of their learning, and to think metacognitively, if this is modelled for them and they are well supported by the environment and the adults working with them. Several collaborations between New Zealand researchers and primary teachers have found that emergent self-regulation is both possible and practical (see for example Joyce and Hipkins, 2005).
You cannot manage yourself without being proactive. When learning is what is being managed, thinking about thinking will be an important aspect of this proactive stance. Thus metacognition sits at the very heart of this key competency, as it has for the two already discussed.
Bullock and Muschamp (2006) talked to 24 British students who were about to make the transition from primary to secondary school. They found these students all had an instinctive metacognitive understanding of themselves as learners but that this was not well developed in most cases. The students had experienced very few opportunities to exercise choices in their learning, and the researchers said this needed to happen more often, if students were to actively think about themselves as learners. Thus it is not just what is taught that matters. Learning opportunities for self-regulation require students to make some learning decisions for themselves (with the proviso that teacher support is available as needed).
Carol Dweck (1999) found that students who view learning ability as a fixed entity that cannot be changed are more likely to be discouraged when they strike challenges in their learning than those who think they can surmount challenges with more effort. If you think you can't learn because you are "not bright" it is very easy for that to become a self-fulfilling belief. Ecclestone and Pryor (2003) built on Dweck's work to develop the metaphor of a "career" to describe how a sense of oneself as a learner changes over time. They said that as students move through school (and in later tertiary studies) they build an "assessment career" within their overall "learning career". Students who are worried about failure may develop an assessment career that minimises the risk of this happening—sometimes by opting out of learning altogether. To illustrate, the Learning Curves research showed how views of self as a learner impact on decisions students make about NCEA assessments:
While some students do see themselves as successful learners, it seems that many are more likely to see themselves as successful collectors of credits. Accordingly, they are developing assessment careers that use compliance and risk-management strategies to maximise credit gains with little critical regard to the value of actual learning gains. This is of concern because such learner identities and assessment careers are no more conducive to lifelong learning than were previous methods of assessment for qualifications (Hipkins, Vaughan, with Beals, Ferral, and Gardiner, 2005, p.3).
Students caught up in unhelpful views of their own learning potential need what Perkins calls "depatterning" (see Section 2). That is, they must learn to recognise and change aspects of their learning and assessment careers. While an assessment system that reports actual achievement rather than broad age-related grades can help (at any level, not just for NCEA), the intellectual work of recognising and changing their own thinking patterns must be done by the student. This is metacognitive work.
Guy Claxton (2000) discusses the importance of helping students recognise and actively manage the emotions that are engendered during their learning. Learning should challenge and extend all students and the myth that it is harder for students who are "not bright" is unhelpful in two ways.
The first is that repeated experience of negative emotions can lead to the building of a learning career characterised by avoidance of risk and minimal compliance. Claxton notes that students may use any of:
All are clearly counterproductive to learning. The second unhelpful aspect concerns students who are accustomed to learning easily. When they first encounter obstacles they may not have strategies to persist and overcome these, instead attributing the need for increased effort to some failure in their overall ability. Claxton uses these examples to encourage teachers to build students' resilience by:
Recent evidence, summarised in the latest NERF Bulletin (National Educational Research Forum, 2006), suggests that students who have behavioural problems may be productively supported when the teacher focuses on improving their academic skills at the same time as the student works on self-monitoring of their behaviour. An analysis of 22 studies found large increases in academic attainment when students were given responsibility for observing and recording target behaviours. Metacognition is an evident aspect of these interventions.
While students need support to manage negative emotions, Claxton also addressed the aim of developing a lifelong disposition to learn by providing opportunities for students to experience the absorption that comes with deeply engaging learning. Liston (2004) calls this the "lure" of learning and compares the powerful emotions generated to being "in love". Others have also noted the potential for better student engagement that comes with "the idea that intellectual pursuits can be enthralling and that there is joy simply in learning something new" (Schallert, Reed, and Turner, 2004, p.1725). While such experiences may be solitary or shared, learning often takes place in social contexts, both within and beyond school. And so we turn next to the key competency of relating to others.

Sister Wives' Kody Brown: I'm Not a Womanizer!by Free Britney at . Comments
Sister Wives' Kody Brown may have four wives and 17 kids, but that does not make the polygamist reality TV star a womanizer, he insists.
In a new tell-all interview with NBC News' Natalie Morales, Kody and wives Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn were grilled about their lifestyle.
Their new book, Becoming Sister Wives, also details much of the same material, notably Kody's past and his many girlfriends in high school.
Some viewers might say that's not particularly surprising, considering he now has four wives (he's only legally married to his first wife, Meri).
Kody explained in the interview with Morales that when he was 14, he was trying to figure out his life as a wild boy, before his "calling."
His calling as a spiritual person, that is.
Natalie's response? "So it wasn't that you chose religion to be a womanizer?" Incredulous and stunned, Kody replied, "Is that what you think I am, a womanizer?"
He went on to defend himself, insisting that he had "done the emotional work" in his relationships and "shouldered their needs as much as I could."
He insists, "I was never womanizing. ... This is NOT an open marriage."
Is it, though? No doubt he cares for each, but is religion just providing cover for him to pursue new women? Wonder what Meri & Co. think deep down.
Sister Wives:
Hi Mom Cell
How a you day. Love you too !!!
Miss you too !! How are you
Tomorrow Good Morning Julia you
call today phone I Feel Better good yes
I like the family and it's not up to us to judge these people or anybody else, however, Cody get rid of the purple shirt. LOL
I think it would be nice to be a family like that. I would get my space and be able to sleep in my own bed most of the time ALONE!!! I wish them God's blessing's.
Molly, I think you have a type on your post. You said ''this show sets a bad example for our white kids.'' I think you meant to say''for us white trash.''
You are right it is his life style and it should not be on t.v trying to get paid, because he need the money for the house hold. The people should not even be picking up the tabs for these ladies and kids .
I am hooked on this show and on this family. They are good-hearted people who have successfully raised good kids. I would not live this way, but all of the women entered this situation voluntarily and seem generally happy, so who is to judge? In an earlier interview with the family, the interviewer briefly touched on the horrifying FLDS/Warren Jeffs situation; Robyn was in tears, and responded that they were also very upset by all that.
Never have seen the show but sorta gross sets bad example for our white kids.my kids wouldnt be watchng this.
Variations on a theme....they are anyhow, he's just...him....Pass.
Oops, not a good dad.
@Eyes......every single one of these women has filed bankruptcy and has been on welfare at some point. So when they put "ernest money" down on four huge brand spanking new homes, it pisses me off. Yet I find myself watching this show. I find the wives interesting. Jealousy was going to play a roll and it has. Things are starting to crack and I want to see how they fix it. Kody is not a good day, it's impossible with that many.
The older brother stepped up to do his fathers roll. Like taking his sister to that dance. It saddens me when parents shift THEIR responsiblities. When he and his siblings turned 16, they all should have looked for jobs. That is the way to teach them for the future!!

The University of
Empirical Implications
15 June - 12 July ,
This summer, 15 June through 12 July 2003, the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor will host the second of four NSF-funded summer institutes on EITM: Empirical Implications of Theoretical Models. The program aims to advance scholarship exhibiting more-seamless integration of theoretical model development aCpirical evaluation through a highly interactive training program, primarily for advanced graduate students (and possibly some a few junior faculty), led by over 15 scholars from across the discipline working at the forefront of such empirical-theoretical integration.
This year's program includes (so far) John Aldrich, Arthur Lupia, Scott Page, Ken Kollman, Jim Morrow, Curt Signorino, Daniel Diermeier, David Epstein, Scott De Marchi, Troy Tassier, Ken Schultz, Paul Huth, Kristopher W. Ramsay, Rebecca Morton, William Bernhard, David Leblang and Jude Hays in leading roles, and a host of affiliated faculty from UM and abroad. Details of last year's program, hosted at Harvard University and directed by James Alt, are available at the permanent web-site for the first EITM Summer Institute. (The NSF also funds another, non-competing, EITM summer program, which begins this year at Washington University. Participation in either program in no way debars students or faculty from future participation in the other program.)
Graduate students who would benefit most from the program would have some training in both formal methodology and quantitative analysis, with advanced training in at least one of those, would have passed all exams, and would be well along in the dissertation project but able still to incorporate improvements enabled by the program. Likewise, applications from junior faculty looking to improve the dissertation for publication in a direction that incorporates EITM advances would be welcome. These describe the ideal applicants; interested students or junior faculty should not refrain from applying due to some perceived shortfall on any of these dimensions. Please bring this program to the attention of anyone who might be interested. Thank you.
The 2003 EITM II is co-hosted by the Center for Political Studies at the Institute of SocialResearch and the Department of Political Science, the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, and led by Robert Franzese.

The Cincinnati Bengals haven't exactly had the best of luck drafting cornerbacks in recent years. Other than Leon Hall, who is recovering from an injury, they have swung and missed on a variety of players who were high draft picks in the secondary that they counted on to make significant contributions.
Most recently, former Alabama star Dre Kirkpatrick has struggled to find an identity and stay healthy in the NFL, despite lofty expectations coming out. In 2014, the Bengals hoped to turn their fortunes around by drafting Michigan State's Darqueze Dennard, one of the most technically sound corners in this year's draft.
Dennard is coming from a Spartan program that had arguably the best defense in all of college football this past season and is a well-built athlete with solid measurables and press-man ability.
In fact, Dennard is considered arguably the best press-man cover corner in the entire draft, fitting in perfectly with what the Bengals would ask him to do. He has the size and length to match up with NFL receivers right away, though there are some questions about his health (double hernia sugery) that need answering.
Regardless, if Dennard is healthy enough to play, he's going to be a significant contributor to the Bengals' defense and they are counting on him to do big things early on.
Coming from a physical, tough defense at Michigan State, Dennard is first and foremost a football player that has the instincts it takes to succeed at the next level. The Bengals need him to learn on the fly because their situation at cornerback isn't exactly rosy at this point. This was a player they did not expect to fall into their laps, but they're glad he did.
Bengals defensive backs coach Vance Joseph talked earlier this offseason about the fact that Dennard could contribute right away in the Bengals' nickel package, which has almost become sort of a base package for a lot of NFL teams. And the slot corners have huge responsibilities. They are tasked oftentimes with covering the offense's primary target, guys who are looking to quickly shake free of the coverage and find an opening in the middle of the field that they can take advantage of.
If Dennard is to make the transition to the inside nickel spot, the Bengals have to have a lot of faith in him.

Bella's Wedding Dress: A Peek At The Official Illustrated GuideApr 7th, 2011 | By Krystal | Category: Book News, Featured Articles

The 2013 South Carolina Gamecocks were a win away from potentially playing for the national championship.
That may have some people scratching their heads, but it's true.
Let us rewind to a mid-October meeting with the Tennessee Volunteers in Knoxville. South Carolina entered the game ranked 11th in the country, and seemed like a heavy favorite to extend its four-game winning streak. But, a Michael Palardy field goal as time expired ended that possibility, giving the Vols a 23-21 upset victory.
Now, how did that affect the Gamecocks' chances of playing in Pasadena? If we play the "what if?" game, had South Carolina won that game and everything else held true to form, it would have finished 11-1 and played for the SEC championship. Beating Auburn would have put Steve Spurrier's team into the title game.
All hypothetical situations aside though, let's grade the Gamecocks on their outstanding season:
Offense: B+
South Carolina found a nice balance on offense this season with the duo of quarterback Connor Shaw and running back Mike Davis running the show. Shaw threw 24 touchdowns and only 1 interception on the year, with his most memorable performance coming in a game where he led the Gamecocks from 17 points down in the fourth quarter to beat eventual SEC East champion Missouri. Oh, and he had a bum knee while doing it. In my opinion, Shaw will go down as one of the most underrated players in SEC history.
Defense: A-
The Gamecock defense finished in the Top 20 nationally in total defense, and managed to stymie opposing offenses. This defense held high-powered offenses like UCF, Missouri, and Clemson to 25 points or lower, which was a major accomplishment considering the success those offenses had this season. And while there were plenty of negatives surrounding Jadeveon Clowney, the fact remains that he changed the way opposing coaches approached this defense.
Coaching: A
At this point, there's no reason to doubt The Ol' Ball Coach. Year after year, Spurrier has had this team in the mix to compete for SEC titles. This was one of the best teams that he's had during his tenure in Columbia, and again, if not for the slip up in Knoxville (which Spurrier drew criticism for after a few questionable timeout decisions), they would have been SEC East champions.
Overall: A-
South Carolina was one of the best teams in the country this season, and on any given day, could have beaten anyone in the nation. They'll look back and wonder what might have been had the outcome been different against Tennessee, but still, it was a season of major success.

"We are going to begin club teams in the fall. Men's basketball and women's volleyball... the first two sports as [IUK] moves to NAIA....We [IU Kokomo] will... follow all regulations of the NAIA to make sure that.. we will be able to apply and be in a conference.

"What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That's not been said a thousand times?
The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.
We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.
We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.
We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead.
We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that's the burden of a year."
"The first year, the team was coached by the city of Cleveland, but the YMCA took over for the next two years, and now it is back in the hands of the city. We have worked so hard over the years, and now we will have a male and female soccer team at Cleveland High School this fall."
"We knew (a dominant post player) was a missing ingredient the year before. She took a lot of pressure off our guards and really opened things up for them. Any team that's had success usually has great balance inside and out."

I think some people need to that there is a difference between sadness and depression. Sadness is when a boyfriend breaks up with you or when someone you love dies, and you're sad; that sadness is normal, it's healthy. Depression is when everything if your life is going right, and you're still sad; that's what depression is.

Office team releases new Outlook Hotmail Connector
Hello, I'm Alessio Roic from Microsoft Outlook, guest-blogging here today to make an important announcement. After several months of beta testing, Microsoft Outlook Hotmail Connector 14.0 has officially been released!
Why use Outlook Hotmail Connector?
If you have been using Outlook Connector 12.1, you already know that it allows you to manage your Windows Live Hotmail e-mail, calendar, and contacts from within Outlook. Outlook Hotmail Connector 14.0 introduces several improvements. For example, you might notice after upgrading that the connection to Hotmail is more reliable than before, and issues such as blank messages being synchronized to Outlook have been fixed.
It's even better with Outlook 2010
Outlook Hotmail Connector 14.0 is compatible with Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010. However, with Outlook Hotmail Connector 14.0 and Outlook 2010 (beta), you'll see these additional benefits:
We've seen reports of problems that some users of Outlook Connector 12.1 have encountered when prompted to auto-upgrade to the latest version of Outlook Hotmail Connector. As a result, we have temporarily turned off these auto-upgrade prompts. You can still manually install Outlook Hotmail Connector 14 by going to the download site, or you can continue using Outlook Connector 12.1 in both cases, Outlook successfully synchronizes with your Windows Live Hotmail inbox.
On behalf of the entire Outlook Hotmail Connector team, thanks for trying the new Outlook Hotmail Connector 14.
For more info on how to download or upgrade to Outlook Connector 14, please see my latest blog post on the Outlook blog.

Mr. James H. Thornton is the founder of Thorntons Inc. Prior to starting Thorntons in 1971, he began retailing gasoline in 1952 with a single location in New Albany, Indiana. This effort led to the very rapid growth of a chain of gas stations called "Payless." In the late sixties, he sold the chain and began work on a new brand bearing his name, while preserving the idea of providing value – "pay less" – to his customers everyday.
The first "Thorntons" location opened in 1971 in Clarksville, Indiana. The original site featured a kiosk building and a full-service attendant.
In the 80s, Thorntons transitioned from kiosk locations to convenience stores and grew to over 100 locations.
Thorntons revolutionized the convenience store industry in 1997 with their new award-winning prototype store. This prototype store featured a wide variety of fast-food products, groceries, and beverages within a well-lit, customer-friendly environment.
In 2002 Matt Thornton, son of James Thornton, added his touch to the industry by introducing a larger facility with an expanded fast-food program, a corner-grocery concept, sparkling restrooms, and the best employees.
In 2007, Thorntons introduced its newest concept store with the fastest service, cleanest restrooms, freshest food, and superior merchandising.
