Chicago Fire
Bet you didn't see that title coming two weeks ago did you?
While much of MLS sat idle this weekend, teams in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race nearly played a full slate with perhaps the Fire coming away as the biggest winners from the weekend's results.
A look at where the race stands heading into the final two weeks of the season...
x - 1) New York Red Bulls
Current Points: 53 (15-9-8)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: DDWWW (11pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 10-2-4 / 5-7-4
Maximum Possible Pts: 59
Average Opponents Pts: 47.0
Remaining Schedule: 10/20 @ HOU, 10/27 vs. CHI
Rundown: New York sat idle this weekend, letting the rest of the Eastern Conference catch up to them on games played. Already qualified for the playoffs, Red Bull will be watching the Cascadia clash between Seattle and Portland closely Sunday night as it will have significant implications on the Supporters Shield race.
Red Bull will certainly be in the mix for their first true silverware the last two weeks of the season but with so many teams still in contention for the hardware, Fire fans shouldn't expect New York to put out a weaker lineup on the last day of the season.
A win this week vs. Houston would at the very least lock up a top two finish in the East for New York while a loss would make things very interesting…
x - 2) Sporting KC
Current Points: 52 (15-10-7)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5: DWLWW (10pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 8-5-3 / 7-5-4
Maximum Possible Pts: 58
Average Opponents Pts: 31
Remaining Schedule: 10/18 vs. D.C., 10/23 vs. OLI**, 10/26 @ PHI
Rundown: Sporting KC could have controlled their own destiny for the top spot in the East if they would have won out but Wednesday's draw at Houston means they've relinquished that opportunity to New York.
Still, Sporting welcomes D.C. United this weekend and will no doubt be in the equation for both that top spot and potentially the Supporters Shield race on the final day of the season.
By virtue of the draw between Philadelphia and D.C. United Saturday, they also locked down a playoff berth. A win Saturday vs. D.C. and Sporting will lock in a top two finish in the East.
3) Houston Dynamo
Current Points: 48 (13-10-9)
Games Remaining: 1 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: DWWWL (10pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 9-3-4 / 4-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 56
Average Opponents Pts: 34.5
Remaining Schedule: 10/20 vs. NY, 10/24 @ AU**, 10/27 @ D.C.
Rundown: The midweek draw vs. Sporting KC cooled off the Dynamo's hot streak just a bit, leaving them exposed to a potential drop in the standings at the weekend. Fortunately for Houston, Montreal fell to New England and the Dynamo are still in with a small chance for a top of the East finish.
With three games in eight days to end the season, the Dynamo have a huge week ahead of them beginning Saturday vs. New York.
How the qualify this week: A win over New York combined with a Philadelphia loss or draw to Montreal or a win over New York combined with a Philadelphia draw/win and a Chicago loss or draw to Toronto FC.
4) Montreal Impact
Current Points: 46 (13-11-7)
Games Remaining: 3 (1 home/ 2 away)
Last 5 Games: LLDLL (1pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 9-4-3 / 4-7-4
Maximum Possible Pts: 56
Average Opponents Pts: 39
Remaining Schedule: 10/16 @ LA, 10/19 vs. PHI, 10/26 @ TFC
Rundown: Oh how the mighty have fallen. Long holders of the Eastern Conference top spot the first half of the season, Montreal are now winless in their last five following Saturday's 1-0 defeat to New England.
Montreal still hold a game in hand over the rest of the East but make that up with a tough midweek match Wednesday at LA. In that game the Impact will be down two starters in Matteo Ferrari and Davy Arnaud due to yellow card accumulation while Landon Donovan returns to the Galaxy from U.S. Men's National Team duty.
A loss in that match and Montreal will officially be in the dog fight for one of the knockout playoff spots and will have to recover quickly as they'll host fellow contender Philadelphia three days later.
How they qualify this week: Two wins vs. LA and Philadelphia is the simplest way but a combined four points with the win coming against Philadelphia along with either a New England loss/draw to Columbus or a Fire loss to Toronto FC.
5) Chicago Fire
Current Points: 46 (13-12-7)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: WWDLW (10pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 9-4-3 / 4-7-4
Maximum Possible Pts: 52
Average Opponents Pts: 39.5
Remaining Schedule: 10/19 vs. TFC, 10/27 @ NY
Rundown: Following the disappointing 2-2 draw to Montreal on September 28, naysayers said the Fire should give up on the season and "play the kids" with only home game remaining out of their final four.
Two weeks later, they've won two straight MLS games for the first time since early July and both of them came on the road. Naysayers…
Now above the red line and tied on points with Montreal (and Philadelphia), the Fire are actually in a position where they could clinch a playoff berth this weekend and still have the possibility to finish in the East's top three spots, something that would have been unthinkable back in mid-May.
With two games left, the Fire control their own playoff destiny and after two confidence boosting victories, have a very winnable game in Saturday's home finale vs. Toronto FC.
How they qualify this week: A Chicago win over Toronto FC combined with a Philadelphia loss vs. Montreal and a New England loss or draw vs. Columbus.
With the Chicago and Philadelphia even on points, how would this work you ask? If the Fire won and Union lost, couldn't they still catch the Fire on points? Yes, but they would only tie Chicago and the Fire would already have a two-game edge in the first tie breaker which is total wins.
With both Montreal/Philadelphia and New England/Columbus ending before the Fire/TFC game, Saturday could be a very special night at Toyota Park. Get your tickets!
6) Philadelphia Union
Current Points: 46 (12-10-10)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: DWWLL (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-4-5 / 5-6-5
Maximum Possible Points: 52
Average Opponents Pts: 49
Remaining Schedule: 10/19 @ MTL, 10/26 vs. SKC
Rundown: For two weeks in a row, Philadelphia have needed a very late goal to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot. On Saturday though Jack McInerney's strike was only good enough to equalize with lowly D.C. United, meaning the Union missed out on a huge opportunity to gain crucial points ahead of what will be two tough matches at Montreal and vs. Sporting KC to end the season.
How they qualify this week: Even if Philadelphia beats Montreal (and the Impact have lost to LA at midweek) and the Fire and Revolution both lose to Toronto and Columbus respectively, Philly would still need to get a point in the final week against Sporting KC.
7) New England Revolution
Current Points: 45 (12-11-9)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: WDDWL (8pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-5-4 / 5-7-4
Maximum Possible Points: 51
Average Opponents Pts: 41
Remaining Schedule: 10/19 vs. CLB, 10/27 @ CLB
Rundown: New England bounced back well from a disappointing 2-2 draw last week at New York, earning a valuable 1-0 away win in Montreal but still find themselves in a difficult spot after the Fire win in Dallas and Philly's last gasp draw in D.C.
An odd home-and-home series with Columbus (who are now all but out of the playoff race) will help determine their playoff fate but even if they win both matches to close the season, they'll need help in the form of two teams above them dropping points. With Montreal, Chicago and Philadelphia all just one point ahead and the Impact and Union facing each other this week, New England still has plenty to play for.
8) Columbus Crew
Current Points: 41 (12-15-5)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: LWWWL (9pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 7-6-3 / 5-9-2
Maximum Possible Points: 47
Average Opponents Pts: 42
Remaining Schedule: 10/19 @ NE, 10/27 vs. NE
Rundown: The Revolution and Fire wins as well as the Union draw pretty much put to bed the Crew's hopes for the postseason. It's not that they're mathematically out, it's just that it's damn near improbable that all the results that would need to go Columbus' way would.
It's not even worth getting into with two weeks left but if they can play a little spoiler and win at New England this weekend and are still in the hunt on the final day, I'll explain it next week.

Chicago Fire midfielders Joel Lindpere and Egidio Arevalo Rios won't be in Dallas this weekend as they've joined up with the Estonian and Uruguayan national teams respectively for FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.
Lindpere and Estonia have already been eliminated from contention to qualify for Brazil 2014 but coming off one of the biggest results in the nation's history last month (2-2 draw vs. Holland), they'll be looking to play spoiler as they welcome Turkey to Tallinn Friday afternoon (1:30pm CT).
On 13 points, the Turkish side sits one back of Hungary for the second place playoff spot in UEFA Group D, level with Estonia's Tuesday opponents Romania who visit lowly Andorra on Friday.
Arevalo Rios and Uruguay's position in CONMEBOL qualifying is much more intriguing. Uruguay and Ecuador sit tied on points at 22 with the two nations set to play Friday afternoon in Quito (4pm CT on beINSport Espanol). The winner of the match looks certain to have a leg up on the fourth and final automatic qualifying bid out of South America with one round of matches to play.
Getting a win in Ecuador will be most crucial for Uruguay who sit fifth because of the goal difference tie breaker and because they'll close out qualifying with a home match against group leaders Argentina while Ecuador will face Chile Tuesday in Santiago.
After getting the job done in DC last Friday night, the Fire head south to take on a FC Dallas side needing a miracle to make the MLS Cup playoffs Saturday night (7pm CT My50/TWC Wisconsin). Dallas are in free fall and despite the Fire's record in Texas, the Men in Red should be settling for nothing less than three points. Here are some things to keep an eye on from a tactical perspective.
Perez away on Panama duty
Blas Perez has all the characteristics of an elite CONCACAF striker: finishing ability, gamesmanship and non-stop focus; similar to Carlos Ruiz. So perhaps it's a good thing that the Dallas's leading goal scorer is away for Panama's crucial World Cup qualifying match with Mexico this weekend.
Perez has 11 goals on the year, with his closest teammate being Kenny Cooper at four. In Perez's absence, it's hard to see Dallas switching way from their lone striker formation and Cooper would seem the likely candidate to slot in after ending his nearly five-month goal scoring drought last weekend vs. RSL.
Cooper is a powerful forward that has historically done well against the Fire, tallying six goals in 12 career matches. With a goal last weekend under his belt and Dallas fighting for their playoff lives, he won't be one to take lightly.
Focusing on Jackson – the Brazilian is instrumental in the Hoops' attack
Jackson has impressed me in Dallas's most recent matches against Columbus and RSL. He normally operates on the right wing, trying to get the ball inside to Perez or a midfield runner. In the last match against RSL, Jackson drifted inside more often.
This was in part due to the fact that RSL had a man sent off early after a disgraceful tackle on the Brazilian. He also showed that he can be a threat in the box, forcing Nick Rimando into a brilliant 1v1 save after an attempted flick over the keeper with the outside of his foot.
In last week's match against DC, the Fire played a very open style of play in the first half, attacking in numbers. If you only looked at the score line, you would think that this tactic was a success but it could've been a lot different if it wasn't for Sean Johnson. He bailed his team out with some brilliant saves after DC caught the Fire out with too many players forward.
It is understandable that the Fire will play in a similar fashion against Dallas due to the need for three points but allowing a player like Jackson time and space on a counter attack can be very dangerous.
Singling out Kellyn Acosta – targeting the Homegrown wingback
In their most recent home loss to Columbus, FC Dallas were exposed on the wings, most notably on the left where Dominic Oduro torched Zach Loyd. On the right, FC Dallas Homegrown player Kellyn Acosta also looked vulnerable. His distribution out of the back was poor; with the 18-year-old trying to play one-touch passes too often.
Columbus clearly targeted Acosta, with players such as Federico Higuain running at the defender whenever possible. A tactic that I would like to see on Saturday night is a constant switching of the Fire wide players so that Acosta is never comfortable.
If Fire wingers Nyarko, Duka, Alex and Co. can get into 1v1 or 2v1 situations with Acosta, it could pay dividends for the Men in Red.
Prediction: The Fire won't play as open as last weekend but score early and late. 2-0 Fire with goals from Magee and Alex
Freddie Christiano has been a Fire fan since the club's inaugural 1998 season and counts Piotr Nowak, Zach Thornton and Sean Johnson as his favorite Fire players of all-time.
Fans spoke loud and clear to determine the winning design and Christiano became more than just a fan on Tuesday night as his design, which garnered a majority of the fan vote, was unveiled as the #cf97ThirdKit winner at the club's 16th Anniversary Party at Toyota Park. I caught up with Freddie on Wednesday to get the lowdown on how it felt to see his design become a part of club history.
JC: You probably had a little tension going to the party last night. How did you approach the announcement?
FC: I was really nervous because I was up against quality designs – one being the [light blue] kit that I know a lot of fans really wanted to see and the white one which definitely would have fit in with what the Fire have going on with their home and away kits right now.
JC: So, Logan Pause and Gonzalo Segares lift the drape over the design and you see it's yours… Describe the euphoria.
FC: At that moment I didn't even know what I was thinking. I was super relieved that it was over and that my jersey was up there. It meant a lot because I worked hard on it and knowing that it got chosen against those other two quality designs meant the Fire community really dug it. Playing soccer and following the Fire – when you can't be out on the field as a player, I think this might be the next best thing to be a part of the team forever.
JC: While your design isn't straight up "Municipal Chicago" it does have some more subtle marks to pay homage to the city. One mark is the skyline element on the back of the shirt… Explain it for more clarity.
FC: The stripe on the front was a representation of the Chicago flag colors with the blue and white stripes and when it wraps around it makes a silhouette of the Sears [Willis] Tower.
JC: How much has your phone been buzzing since the announcement?
FC: Friends and family that voted, I got a million text messages from them. A lot of tweets and new followers on my Twitter account, random Facebook friends – it was a cool feeling to get that response from people.
JC: Along with the prize of having your design chosen, you've also won a trip to Portland to see the Fire play the Timbers in 2014, as well as a shopping spree at the adidas store out there. I hear you're getting married in June, what if the game clashes with the wedding date?
FC: I don't really know what I'd choose there! I'm taking my fiancé to Portland with me but if they're on the same weekend, that'd be a tough one. I don't know how that'd work. If it does clash, maybe I'll alternate and go to the All-Star Game instead.

When the Chicago History Museum reached out to the Fire to take part in an even commemorating the "Great Chicago Fire" of 1871 Tuesday, I thought it was a great idea.
Even better was when I was asked to join Fire midfielder Brendan King (who is currently on the mend with a hamstring injury) to take part and tell why October 8 is not only significant to the city of Chicago but also to our club.
So there I was, notes prepared to discuss the events of 1871 and 1997 with the assembled group of third and fourth graders. Brendan, the professional soccer player, was there to field the tougher questions about you know being a professional soccer player but not before this fantastic photo-op with Mrs. O'Leary's Cow...
Joined by a representative from the Chicago Fire Department, we stepped to the stage in front of the mass of elementary school children and the first question went to us...
Was it about the history of the Fire?
No. Rather it was, "How many games have you won this year?"
Both Brendan and I couldn't get the words out fast enough to say, "We've won 12 so far and we just beat D.C. United 3-0 on Friday!"
A loud applause emanated from the crowd!
But then something happened. Husky looking men dressed in black and yellow regalia strolled up the aisle way. Were they members of the Columbus Crew coming to crash the party?
A closer look saw them carrying axes and other tools... Ah shoot, they must be actual firemen...
These guys were dressed in their full uniform and you could tell they've carried a room before... I leaned to Brendan and said, "I wonder if we get another question this entire panel?"
After about 26 questions relating to smoke inhalation and whether you should run or crawl out of a fire, Sparky, who was late arriving to one of two Sweet 16 parties for himself today, finally showed up and regained the room for the club! Way to go Sparky!
With some attention back on the club, Brendan and I finally received the question we'd been waiting for from an astute child in the front row: "Why do you call yourselves the Fire?"
- HISTORY: Why we're named the Chicago Fire...
Let's just say we hit it out of the park, mesmerizing the gathered youths with the story of our launch on this day 16 years ago at Navy Pier and telling them how our club tied itself to the city's history from day one.
Of course, young children have short attention spans so we got asked the question a few more times but it was all to drive the message of the Fire's tie to the city of Chicago home.
What a great event! Thanks to the Chicago History Museum for asking us to take part!

On this day 142 years ago, the Great Chicago Fire began in our city. Long after the rebuilding had been finished, on this day 16 years ago, the Chicago Fire Soccer Club (NOT the Chicago Rhythm) was founded at iconic Navy Pier, immediately tying the newest MLS franchise to one of the city's most defining historical events.
Today, as we do every year, we recognize the legacy not only of the city of Chicago but of the 16 years of our club and we hope you'll join us tonight at the Toyota Park Stadium Club to do so.
Until then, here are a few Fire related 16s…
The men who wore 16...
Josh Wolff (1998-2002), Andy Williams (2003-2004), Will John (2005), Brian Plotkin (2006-2007), Marco Pappa (2008-2012), Brendan King (2013- )
Not only...
…did Williams and Pappa wear #16 throughout their Fire tenures, both also racked up 16 regular season assists in their time with the club.
Did you know...?
Neither Fire legends Lubos Kubik (1998-2000) and Cuauhtemoc Blanco (2007-2009) wore 16 but both scored 16 MLS regular season goals and it was the attacker Blanco who tallied more from the spot?
The Mexican World Cup veteran edged Kubik 7-5 in penalty kicks converted for the Fire.
Former Fire goalkeeper Matt Pickens racked up 16 wins with the Fire between 2004-2007. The tally his fourth most among Fire goalkeepers behind Zach Thornton (109), Sean Johnson (39) and Jon Busch (25).
When he appears on Saturday, Sean Johnson will tie DaMarcus Beasley for 16th on the club's all-time MLS appearance list at 98 games played.
Current Fire defender Gonzalo Segares sits seventh on the club's all-time U.S. Open Cup appearance list with 16 games played while…
…former Fire defender C.J. Brown holds the record for most international appearances (CONCACAF & SuperLiga) with 16.
It's been an honor to be part of this club for four of its historic 16 seasons. Here's to many more. See everyone tonight and HAPPY SWEET 16 FIRE!

About Trey Songz (12/2/2013)
Television talent shows didn't exist back when Tremaine Neverson (known by the stage name Trey Songz) first got his start. So the Petersburg, Virginia native swept area talent show before taking his career to the next level. As a young teen, he was encouraged to stay in school. But with diploma in hand, there was nowhere to go but up.
As a young adult, Trey appeared on Kevin Lyttle's debut album and Trick Daddy's "Thug Matriomy" as a sideman before breaking out on his own with the solo cut "About the Game." His official debut album, "I Gotta Make It," bowed in 2005, and the sophomore effort, "Trey Day," charted at No. 11 upon its release in 2007.
It was the 2009 single, "I Need a Girl," that pushed Trey to his first RIAA gold certification. The following year he scored a cut on the "Step Up 3D" soundtrack, collaborated with red hot rapper Nicki Minaj on "Bottoms Up," and watched his fourth album, "Passion, Pain & Pleasure," ride a wave of success as four singles reached the Top Ten of the R&B/Hip-Hop chart. Next came the five-song EP "Inevitable," which served as the precursor to his fifth album release, "Chapter V" in August 2012. That project featured appearances from the Who's Who of the industry, including T.I., Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy and more.
Also on Trey's resume are several film credits. He held the male lead role in "Texas Chainsaw 3D," and played the character of Damon Diesel in "Baggage Claim."
Nicki Minaj Announces 'The Pinkprint' Tour
Love her or hate her, over the last few years Nicki Minaj has proven herself to be a staying force in the rap game, rather than just a big-bootied flash-in-the-pan. And her latest album, 2014's The Pinkprint, is being hailed as some of the rapper's finest work. To celebrate, the Queens-bred musician is hitting the…Read more

Thursday night at the Davenport Public Library - Main Street, Mr. Simon Roberts impressed the crowd with his humor and told about what it was like to be the first African American to claim a national collegiate wrestling title. Roberts won the 147-pound title at the NCAA championship for the University of Iowa in March 1957.
Be sure to visit the exhibit that was unveiled at the event, which showcases the history of African American milestones in collegiate sports in Iowa. The exhibit will be displayed through Saturday, June 13 at the Main Street Library (321 Main Street).
Watch a little of his presentation from last night's event!

I don't browse by section... but by unread topics since last visit. I'm not sure how many people do the same, but this wouldn't help in that case.
as Ath says -- you can very easily ignore an entire section in your profile -> ignore boards
so this *would* be a solution for people who only read by checking the Unread posts section -- since ignoring a section will stop it from appearing in your unread list.

PRINCE DELI: Mickayla Eldridge sings "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner
PRINCE DELI: Taro Sakamoto sings "True Faith" by New Order. "First off I want to say that I am male. I enjoy singing. I believe I am quite good at it and it helps me break the stereotype that Asians are terrible singers that are quite often portrayed in movies and television. A great example would be William Hung from American Idol. In my opinion, "True Faith" is a great song. You don't hear people sing New Order at karaoke often around Knoxville." —TARO SAKAMOTO

TOOTS LITTLE HONKY TONK: Pete Hoffecker I was born in Bogota, Colombia, South America (and raised as a northerner); the idea of a Southern honky-tonk bar can sound a little scary. But Toot's is a cultural melting pot and embraces people of all types. Hipsters and cowboys rub elbows and share laughs. As far as song selection—I'm 32, so I got some '80s influence. I don't sing songs I generally listen to, it's more of the cheesy blast-from-the-past variety: Great White's "Once Bitten, Twice Shy," Golden Earring's "Radar Love," George Michael's "Faith," and even Buck Owens' "Act Naturally." Sure, you have your American Idol wannabees, but if you aren't a great singer no one cares. The objective is to have fun, not to impress your peers with your amazing voice. Like Buck Owens said, "All you gotta do is act naturally." —PETE HOFFECKER
TOOTS LITTLE HONKY TONK: Pete Hoffecker
TOOTS LITTLE HONKY TONK: Mandi Lawson I sing karaoke because I love to sing. Whitney Houston's first album was my first cassette when I was a little girl.

KURT'S: Liz Fernald sings "Drops of Jupiter" by Train I've always loved singing, but I really love it when I can get up there and see how much people enjoy it. I choose "Drops of Jupiter" because it's a song that most everyone loves and I can sing fairly well... most of the time. —LIZ FERNALD

I would like to make something like this, doesn't have to be as extensive. I need it to mount to the ceiling above a car and be able to swing 2 lcd panels around either side of a car on a dyno. Anyone have a clue where I can get or make some swivel pieces similar to these? Thank you for your time,Dk

Do not know how much you intend to spend... those things are expensive new... if you are not in a hurry, I would check local hospital and university surplus... they are always upgrading monitoring electronics...
You might take some time to get to know someone in maintenance or facilities management... you may uncover a goodmine..
Similar arms have been in use for CNC equip for many years... so industrial surplus.... or your locall scrap yard could be a good bet...
Good Luck!!

Get a machinist to make you to sleeves for a good size bolt that you can insert a UHMW washer in between, long enough that you'll be able to tig them on a some 1 X 2 X .100 rectangular tubing to each sleeve, then you can tig your wall mount at one end of tubing and your monitor mount at the other end.

Facilitator of change and learning, Practical Developmental Ideas (self employed)
This conversation is closed.
In our present chaos, we need the enthusiasm, ability to learn and try things that children have naturally. Can we learn these from them?
We are all going through a period of rapid, unpredictable and sometimes chaotic change. Nothing is certain any more. We need to be adaptable, flexible, confident, resourceful and willing and able to learn and try new things in order to cope with this environment. It would also be great if doing so was fun and personally rewarding.
The only people who have these qualities in abundance everywhere are very young children. (This is marvellously shown in Sugata Mitra's talk.) Education almost everywhere seems to be about pumping adult knowledge and skills into children. I think the demands of the 21'st century requires us do the opposite as well. We adults need to learn from children, so we can face our challenges with the joy, enthusiasm and confidence they show naturally.
One simple way to start might be to notice how young children go about learning. We could find out what the best conditions are to support this. Some brave adults to immerse themselves in a similar environment and try and emulate their young role models.
This is just one slightly wacky idea. I would be interested to learn if these thoughts make sense to you and if you have any other ways we could take this further.
Grace Greene
Feb 3 2013: I don't think that it's such a wacky idea. I have learned so much from my daughter.

Feb 3 2013: Hi Grace
Thanks for your support
I would love to know what you have learned from your (young) daughter. Mine is 41 so I don't have such up to date information as you. I think your stories would make a very valuable contribution to this conversation.
Best wishes,
NickJan 30 2013: "The purpose of education is to replace the empty mind with a curious one"
I can't take credit for this idea and don't remember where i took it , but i am on board with this vision.
I agree with you that we shouldn't " pump adult knowledge and skills into children " and maybe we should try to get rid of our assumptions that outlived their usefulness.
What , actually, do we know ?
You may check out here, it's only slightly hyperbolic. if at all :)
Maybe we'd better open our mind to the great ' who knows' and at least sometimes try to experience the world as children do ?
It sounds like impossible endeavour, but what we need is the sense of wonder and there is no problem with it, if you are truly attentive to nature. It is wonderful , it is magic !
OK, let's come down to the earth . What are the primary data for a child ? Colour taste shape , texture, sound ... heat and cold... Do we like it or not it brings the idea of the moment, the felt moment of experience, ' now '
I don't see the need to believe or disbelieve to proclaim this true or untrue,but it is useful at this stage for understanding the difference between our adult mental life and child pre knowledge way of exploring the world.
Thanks for asking ! :)
greg dahlen
Jan 28 2013: I'm not sure, Nick, I think I learn more effectively now at age 52 than I did as a child. For one thing, I'm more aware of the power of specificity, of asking a really specific question.
- +1
I believe I was a very mature child. If I look back in my imagination, I don't think I learned or thought terribly differently as a child from how I do now. But I have accrued more information and techniques. Can you remember being a child? Do you remember it as being noticeably different from how you are now.
Jan 29 2013: That is an interesting observation, Greg. I am no less playful now than I was as a child, but I have much greater capacity to think critically, to learn complex things quickly and well, to perceive a range of possible views and angles, and to be creative and interdisciplinary than I did then.Jan 29 2013: That said, I know some adults do develop ideas of what it means to be disciplined or professional that cause them to constrain their possible playfulness. Here is a story that taught me this.
One thing I did professionally for many years is to teach and plan curriculum for adolescents and teens considered to be prodigiously gifted. Some kids in this population tend to be perfectionists and to be extremely serious. I was doing a sort of advisory regularly for a group of twenty of them and when this issue of perfectionism arose, I said something to the effect that once you are no longer an adolescent- when you are an older person like I am, you don't worry about things like making a fool of yourself, being playful, experimenting with things, making a mess... (Kids love these dimensions in a teacher, of course).
When I came home and described the session to my then high school-aged daughter, she said, "No, Mom. Adults usually worry more about those kind of things than teens. It's only YOU who doesn't worry about that stuff."
My teenaged son says that I am only "technically a grown-up."
So maybe I don't have good insight into this issue after all.
Feb 7 2013: What I'd like to know, Fritzie, is if you take people who are inhibited now, were they inhibited as kids? For example, I played a certain amount of pretend as a kid, and I still do it now as an adult. I have a friend who is rather inhibited, probably couldn't play pretend now as an adult. I didn't know him as a child, I wonder if he was inhibited then?
Feb 8 2013: Inhibition is partly a function of inate disposition or personality and partly related to environment. People will be more inhibited if they are likely to get punished for undisciplined behaviors, for example.
Your example raises something a little different though. What inhibition looks like in an adult might be different than inhibition in a child. It's more typical for little kids to run through the park pretending to be tigers than for adults to do that. At least in the US, for a kid not to do that sort of thing might be considered unusual.
An adult who doesn't do that isn't necessarily inhibited.
People can learn to be less inhibited, though.Jan 28 2013: It's not a wacky idea. And it is a very popular one! You might take interest in the TED talks we have about play and how even businesses have for some years now been building environments to encourage and support playfulness into their spaces.
This is my favorite one, but we have twelve right now under the tag "play." http://www.ted.com/talks/tim_brown_on_creativity_and_play.html
Jan 30 2013: Hi Fritzie
Thanks for your support and interest in this conversation. I enjoyed the TED talk about Serious Play you referred me to.
I think you children are very fortunate to have a Mom who is "Only technically a grown-up"
Best wishes,
I have mentioned the Sudbury Valley School www.sudval.org in a reply above. I think you'll find it fascinating.Feb 11 2013: Edward Long's comment about the differences of adult and children's (first world) world's is simple and to the point. However, the meaningful take-aways adults can obtain by observing children is another matter. How do we adults, in this fast-paced world that's going faster and requiring more of each of us, keep pace? And to that, how do we expect today's children to maintain that pace, or more accurately, keep up with the trend, the trajectory of demands on tomorrow's adults?
One notion my wife and I had was to observe autism and ADHD from a different point of view. What if, we postulated, children who were diagnosed with ADHD were not afflicted but rather reacting to stimuli? Is it at all possible that ADHD-type symptoms are a reaction to a high amount of external stimulation? There is a great deal of noise in the world, more sights and sounds specifically and intentionally designed to attract and capture human attention. How does this effect (or would be affect?) minds of children and infants? Often, if not always, seems that a kid with ADHD is also described as very bright and very intelligent. Could it be a positive trait that the human mind acquires to prepare it for a mutli-tasking adulthood? If so, could that change adult behavior regarding such symptoms? Granted it is extremely tiring to manage and care for hyper-active children. But, maybe a different view is needed. Maybe this is the evolutionary path.Jan 30 2013: Here is a story to illustrate how extraordinary children are. An English Unilever manager, with his wife and child were moved very frequently by the company. They decided to send their son to local kindergarten's rather than to the one's run by the company, where English was spoken.
Their son was soon happily chatting with new friends in their language. By the time he was six he was fluent in FIVE languages.
This just makes me think that we have a lot to learn from children about how to learn. We also have a lot to learn about how to create the conditions so children can keep on learning as fast as they do when they are very young.
As the world gets more crowded and more interconnected, we have more to manage and learning fast is crucial.Jan 30 2013: "Education almost everywhere seems to be about pumping adult knowledge and skills into children."
This has always been the role of education, teaching children how to survive and prosper when they grow up. To some extent, this will always have negative side effects. Some people think that education stifles creativity. Of course it does; another word for an academic subject is discipline, which is the opposite of play.
Changing this core purpose of education, even slightly, will also have negative side effects.
This is not a matter of "should". This is just a choice. What do we want education to accomplish?
Until we have a clear answer to that question, with specific measurable objectives, our education system, and the adults it produces, will continue to seem inadequate. Since we all seem to agree that educated adults should be creative and curious, perhaps we should start by developing measures for creativity and curiosity. In this fast changing world, we also need a measure for adaptability.
These ideas are not crazy, but they are very difficult to apply. It is perhaps impossible to have a school system that produces both highly disciplined technicians and highly creative designers. We may need multiple school systems, each with a different set of objectives.
Jan 30 2013: Hi Barry
I have been fascinated by the Sudbury Valley School www.sudval.org recently. The book about it "Free at Last" is utterly inspiring. This school has no curriculum and children from 4 to 18 entirely follow their own interests. They have no exams and no grades. None the less 80% of them go to the college of their first choice. They report that children don't naturally study easy things when they are left to themselves, they deliberately go for things that are personally challenging. This school turns all the assumptions most of us have about education on their heads. You can get the book via the website. I couldn't put it down!
I agree we need a debate about what education is for. It would make a great subject for a a TED conversation. Do you fancy starting one?Jan 30 2013: I am not sure I know what you are talking about because I never stopped learning like a child. It is the system of sit at your desk, do not speak, raise your hand, walk on the right side of the hallway.. that smacks that out of people.
I didn't listen then either.Jan 29 2013: A first-world child is not burdened with the cares of survival. They have a whole village looking-out for their welfare. They have freedom to recreate, to imagine, to pretend and to frolic in play. Such conditions do not exist in the adult's world. If adults act childishly they fail. The world of children and the world of adults are controlled by very different rules. I agree it is delightful and therapeutic to be carefree like a child on occasion, but it cannot replace ongoing responsibility in the grown-up world.Jan 29 2013: Isn't this called beginners mind in zen?

id wanna break the rules as well....duncan for foster/dd....could be fun with a lineup of jo/duncan/artest/jack/tinsley.....
which is what the spurs were thinking when they tried to sign jo a couple years ago...hmmm...duncan/jo/bowen/manu/parker.....that woulda been scary...
if i have to play by the rules.....the upgrade duncan would bring over jo isnt worth it in my eyes...i think manu over jack might be a bit more noticeable...though not much....thats the whole point i think....we match up very well with the spurs....
Manu, without a doubt.
Is "any of them" too general an answer?
subtract Austin, add Robert Horry!
I like the Austin for Horry switch.
Duncan's a great player, better than JO. But he didn't look great against the Pistons, just like JO didn't.
Give me Manu for Jax.
Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!

I'd take Duncan over JO as my switch because Duncan is going to make the other players around him better moreso than JO. So upgrading that position upgrades other positions as well.
Also, taking another Spurs player I'd be afraid that playing with JO instead of Duncan that player might lose some sparkle (assuming playing with JO could freeze or regress that player's game).
Nuntius was right. I was wrong. Frank Vogel has retained his job.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
The biggest upgrade would be Manu for Jax.
But I would go with Duncan. Anytime you have a chance to get the best player in the league you have to take him.
I haven't been so impress by Parker this season. I don't like his decision making and think that he has atendence to play out of control. (Not that Tins is any better in that regard, I just don't get excited thinking what if Parker were a Pacer.)
I'm with bowling legend Roy Munson on this one. We need an Eva, although Jeff Foster's wife is very hot. From the ones I've seen she has to be the hottest Pacer wife.Originally Posted by Roy Munson

The FBI arrested three men overnight on charges they lied to federal agents during an investigation of a terror plot against New York City that authorities say was "the real deal."
Agents in Denver arrested Najibullah Zazi, a 24-year old airport shuttle driver, who authorities say appears to be the ringleader of the alleged plot. Also charged with lying to the FBI was Zazi's father, Mohammed Zazi.
In New York, the FBI arrested the leader of a Queens mosque, Ahmad Afzali, who authorities allege had been a New York police department informant but "went bad" and tipped off Zazi, his father and others to the investigation.
Afzali's alleged double cross compromised the case and led the FBI to move in on the suspects much earlier than they had wanted and led to extreme tensions between the Denver office of the FBI and the NYPD. One law enforcement official said the NYPD had been specifically asked not to reveal the investigation to its informants, but went ahead anyway.
Click here to watch Zazi denying al Qaeda ties to television cameras.
In affidavits filed in connection with the arrests, agents say they discovered nine pages of handwritten notes in Zazi's computer with details on how to make a homemade bomb.
According to the affidavit, Zazi initially denied knowing anything about the notes when he was shown them by the FBI during a three day interrogation.
Click here to watch Zazi returning home after a day of questionning.
Later, Zazi admitted the notes were his and that he attended an al Qaeda training camp in Pakistan and received instructions on weapons and explosives.
Law enforcement and intelligence officials say the case began in 2008 when the CIA twice picked up on Zazi's presence in the Pakistani city of Peshawar, a place often used by al Qaeda to arrange meetings with foreigners.
Zazi maintained publicly that he had no ties to al Qaeda and had gone to Peshawar only to visit his wife.
According to the FBI affidavits, Zazi went to Peshawar in Aug. 2008 and again in Jan. 2009.
Law enforcement officials told ABCNews.com that electronic intercepts revealed Zazi had sent text messages suggesting, in code, the plot was nearing the attack stage. "The wedding cake is ready," Zazi allegedly wrote.
The three men are scheduled to appear in court Monday morning on the charges, which authorities say are designed to keep them in custody while more serious charges are considered.
At 9:30pm Saturday, six black SUV's with red and blue flashing lights rushed into a suburban housing complex in Aurora, Colorado, and a group of FBI agents climbed three flights to Zazi's apartment.
The officers remained inside for about five minutes. They first brought out Zazi's father, in handcuffs, escorted by two agents, and placed him in a waiting vehicle. Next, Najibullah Zazi , in handcuffs, surrounded by agents, was brought down, placed in a second car and the caravan sped off.
Zazi had been scheduled to spend a fourth day Saturday being questioned by the FBI but his lawyer canceled the session.
"He has taken the day to consult with his client," Aiello said.
Late Saturday night, Aiello said of Najibullah and Muhommed Zazi's arrests, "Their attorney, Arthur Folsom, is with them at FBI offices in Denver, Colorado. Specific charges are unavailable at this time."

- Measures of Injuries on Kidsdata.org
The injury data on kidsdata.org are based on hospital discharges for injuries among children and youth ages 0-20. These data can be viewed as a number or a rate per 100,000. They also can be viewed as a number by age and cause. In addition, numbers and rates are provided for intentional (e.g., self-inflicted injuries or assault) and unintentional (e.g., car accidents, falls, etc.) injuries by age group. All data exclude fatal injuries.

- Why This Topic Is Important
Injuries are the leading cause of death among children and youth ages 1-19 in California and the U.S., and these injuries often are preventable (1, 2). Unintentional injuries, in particular, such as car accidents and falls, are the top cause of death (1). In fact, nationwide, one of every five deaths among all children under age 20 is due to unintentional injuries (3). Of course, not all injuries result in death. Each year, about 9 million children and youth are treated in emergency rooms for unintentional injuries in the U.S. – that's one every 4 seconds (1, 4, 5). Injury treatment is the leading cause of medical spending for children in the nation, costing nearly $11.5 billion each year (3, 5).
Intentional injuries, such as self-inflected harm or assault, are less common than unintentional injuries but still are among the leading causes of death for children ages 1-19, statewide and nationally (2, 6).
For more information on injuries, see kidsdata.org's Research & Links section.

- How Children Are Faring
In 2012, there were 28,138 hospitalizations for non-fatal injuries among children and youth ages 0-20 statewide. The California rate of hospitalizations for injuries among children/youth decreased by 38% between 1993 and 2012, from 411.6 per 100,000 to 257.2. Among counties with available data, the rate of hospitalizations due to injuries ranged from 153.5 per 100,000 to 455.9 in 2012.
Hospitalization rates for unintentional injuries in California, which account for the majority of hospitalizations for injuries among children/youth, have fluctuated in recent years, but are lower than 1993 levels. This is true overall and among all age groups. In recent years, rates of hospitalizations for unintentional injuries have been highest among those ages 16-20 and under age 1 in California. The hospitalization rate for intentional injuries is highest among youth ages 16-20, followed by youth ages 13-15.
- Policy Implications
Most unintentional injuries to children/youth ages 0-20 are preventable, and many can be addressed by public policies focused on safety. California has a number of laws in place to strengthen injury prevention (1). Intentional injuries, occurring as the result of maltreatment or self-harm, also can be prevented and should be addressed.
According to research and subject experts, policies that could reduce injuries among children and youth include:
- Setting school policies that foster student "connectedness" with school (meaning students feel they are treated fairly, close to people, and safe at school), as research has shown that this is among the strongest protective factors in decreasing the risk of unintentional injury from causes such as drinking and driving or not wearing a seatbelt (2, 3)
- Enforcing existing motor vehicle safety laws, including those concerning seat belts, car seats, and drunk driving (4)
- Educating families and other caregivers on injury prevention related to the accidental exposure to medications—the leading cause of child poisoning—and other dangers, such as firearms (5, 6)
- Addressing the social factors associated with child maltreatment, such as neighborhood economic distress, poverty, and low parental education levels (7)
- Preventing child abuse by ensuring that children have safe, stable, and caring relationships with caregivers through efforts such as home visiting programs for high-risk groups, hospital-based education programs for new mothers, and comprehensive child development centers that provide resources for children and parents (7, 8)
- Providing routine and accessible mental health screening and services to youth to address depression and prevent youth self-harm (9)

text: Composer Sohichiro Suzuki began releasing instrumental music as World Standard in 1985. "The Lonely Driver 1952" comes from his 1997 album Country Gazette, which was produced by Haruomi Hosono and released on Hosono's Daisyworld Records. Country Gazette is the first volume of a three-part Discovering America series, which arose out of Suzuki's interest in combining electronics with the sound of '60s American folk music. According to the liner notes, Country Gazette was inspired by John Fahey and attempts "to take us to nowhere on the banjo sound." In addition to his releases as World Standard, Suzuki has put out three albums under the name Everything Play, and he collaborated with Hosono on the soundtrack to the Japanese film Gu Gu the Cat. Though Suzuki records many of the instruments himself, he also takes advantage of a backing group for live performances that features Hosono's daughter, Mina.

I am currently writing down my report for INTEL. My report is currently 11 pages long (without the title page, the table of contents, the references) and I am trying to shorten it. I have a lot of difficulties since I am feeling that all what I have now as information is important and relevant. I would like to know if the ''reagents'' need to be listed as in a scientifc article in the report? If not, it could shorten my report a little more. Also, I have summarized my conclusion in my discussion as in a scientific article. Is it acceptable, or should I do a separate conclusion?
Thank you for your help,

There are many other options for making shirts with great tutorials on this site about how to silk screen or make stencils. This stamping method has the benefit of being able to make more than one (a limitation of some stencil techniques). Also this style allows the use of multiple colors without waiting for a color to dry. You can have free-floating content (like the inside of an "O") which is difficult with some stencil techniques - and if you're just doing lettering the letters can be reused for another shirt design or another project entirely.

Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, by Asif A. Siddiqi, NASA Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24
Pioneer Venus 2, the twin to Pioneer Venus 1, comprised a main bus, a large probe (316.5 kg), and three identical small probes, all of which were designed to collect data during independent atmospheric entry into Venus. Each probe was shaped like a cone and not designed to survive past surface impact.
After a course correction on 16 August 1978, Pioneer Venus 2 released the 1.5-m diameter large probe on 16 November 1978, at about 11.1 million km from the planet. Four days later, the bus released the three small probes while 9.3 million km from Venus. All five components reached the Venusian atmosphere on 9 December 1978, with the large probe entering first.
Using a combination of air drag and a parachute, the large probe descended through the atmosphere until it impacted on the Venusian surface at 4.4ý north latitude and 304.0ý longitude at a speed of 32 km per hour. Transmissions ceased at impact as expected.
The three 76-cm diameter small probes arrived in the atmosphere within minutes of the bigger one and descended rapidly through the atmosphere without the benefit of parachutes. Amazingly, two of three probes survived the hard impact.
The so-called Day Probe transmitted data from the surface for 67.5 minutes before succumbing to the high temperatures and power depletion.
All three small probes suffered instrument failures, but none significant enough to jeopardize their main missions. Their landing coordinates were 59.3ý north latitude and 4.8ý longitude (North Probe); 31.3ý south latitude and 317.0ý longitude (Day Probe); and 28.7ý south latitude and 56.7ý longitude (Night Probe). The main bus, meanwhile, burned up in the atmosphere at an altitude of 120 km -- about 1.5 hours after the other probes -- and provided key data on higher regions.
Data from the probes indicated that between 10 and 50 km, there is almost no convection in the atmosphere. Below a haze layer at 30 km, the atmosphere appears to be relatively clear.
