During Europe in the Middle Ages, how religious was the "average Joe"? Looking at the large scale politics of the time it seems religion was a major part of the elites' lives, with treaties with the papacy, crusades, excommunications of kings etc. But to my knowledge all this is geared around the upper classes - knights, lords, barons and kings, and was to a large extent realpolitik. Do we have any evidence that peasants were either insincere in their profession of belief (a profession which was compulsory, I'm pretty sure), or at least any lack of interest or ambivalence in organized religion?
I'm inclined to turn around the assumptions in your question re the powerful vs. the powerless:
IMO the dual powers of popes and emperors did not prevail mainly for spiritual reasons. They were the same stuff as "realpolitik" is still made of: perhaps think of excommunications as U.N. mandates of their days :)
On the other hand, I could imagine that to "average Joes" religion was dearer than to the powerful in their official functions. Why? There was no psychological branch of medicine nor self-help book industry around. I've recently heard that (I think) 26 percent of Americans suffer from some form of diagnosed/treated depression. Now we live in demanding times, but so did folks during the Middle Ages. I am inclined to think that religious institutions served (mainly or also) somewhat vital "worldly" roles then, roles that we tend to underestimate from today's perspective of relatively secure medical care, more enlightened understanding, etc.
So how religious was the "average Joe": well, perhaps (also) "26 percent", or in any case more than we perhaps allow today.
I answer pretty much every question here with 'it depends'. This one is no exception: It depends what you mean by 'religious'.
Did the 'average person' believe in a supernatural being? Yes ... 'non-belief' or atheism simply do not exist in the European middle ages. Simply put - absolutely everyone was religious, if you take 'believing in God (or perhaps gods)' as the qualifier.
However if you take 'religious' to mean something more specific - such as regular church-going, or adherence to the strict tenets of the medieval Church, the answer would be very different. At the peasant level, it's pretty well established that Christianity could mix with all manner of other beliefs and superstitions to create something that was far from standard religiosity.
Moreover, the Church did not set great store by attendance at church by the general population. A peasant might be expected to attend Church at Easter or Christmas, but the rest of the year was pretty much optional. (Paying your tithes - not optional, of course).
The main 'business' of the church was not seen as providing a service to the rank and file population, but instead it was the carrying out of masses and prayer in the great monasteries, priories and cathedrals. The religious well-being of the individual was far subsidiary to the interests of the great churches, and parishes and parish clergy quickly came to be primarily tools by which money was syphoned upwards to the canons, prebendaries, deans, archdeacons, priors, bishops and abbots. Saying so is not to criticize the pre-Reformation Church, but rather to simply point out that it was in those offices that society viewed the primary concerns of the church to lie. It is only later generations that have come to see the religious care of the individual as the church's 'main job'.
So another way to answer your question would be to say - everybody was religious, but the majority of people were perhaps hardly more regular churchgoers (or more interested in the Church) than a modern agnostic.
Gorski 2000 seems to indicate part of the problem is the fetishisation of organised religion as an indicator of peasant religiosity and the corresponding privileging of Christian narratives of appropriate religious behaviour in medieval Europe.(Van Engen 1986 in Gorski 2000) The peasantry depicted in all these historiographies was fundamentally religious—what it was not what organised or Christian in comparison to the opinion of the Church. So the answer is "yes, they were fundamentally religious, but your question is wrong as it incorporates unacceptable normative assumptions." Medieval popular cultures were local, Christian, Magical, Pagan, Churched and non-Churched. But fundamentally religious in the sense that a metaphysical determination of reality was constant, and the observation or propitiation of a reality other than the apparent was required.
Gorski supplies a full literature review with critical analysis as of 2000. Any question you may have on the topic will be fully covered in Gorski.

Congressman Chris Collins visited SUNY Geneseo's molecular structure laboratory today to discuss legislation he has introduced to help scientists commercialize their ideas.
GENESEO, N.Y. – Congressman Chris Collins from New York's 27th district received support today from SUNY Geneseo for legislation he has introduced in Congress to help scientists commercialize their ideas.
Collins visited the campus to discuss the legislation, the TRANSFER Act of 2013 (H.R. 2981), which builds upon a current program and specifically awards grants to innovative technology transfer programs at universities, research institutes and national laboratories.
"One of the most effective ways we can spur economic growth is to assist some of the country's smartest minds in turning their good ideas into a commercial success," said Collins. "Scientists often need a funding boost to take the initial steps to see if their invention or concept has the potential to be commercialized. Without this critical legwork a scientist is often unable to partner with a business or an investor to take their idea to the next level."
The TRANSFER Act would provide $50,000 grants, on average. Collins said the bill would be an asset to both research institutions, including SUNY Geneseo, and federal taxpayers. He said the grants will accommodate taking ideas to the marketplace, "helping American taxpayers realize a greater return on their investments and improving the competitiveness of the American economy."
"The bill Congressman Collins is sponsoring dovetails very well with Geneseo's strong record in undergraduate research," said Geneseo president Christopher C. Dahl. "Students studying in our School of Business and conducting projects in our new Center for Inquiry, Discovery and Development as well as the hundreds of clients taking advantage of our Small Business Development Center would benefit greatly from this legislation. It would strongly support the good work Geneseo is doing on entrepreneurship and the key role it will play in New York's future."
The bill has support from a wide range of scientific and professional organizations, including the American Council on Education, the Association of American Medical Colleges and the Association of American Universities.

The output from
Make sure your backups of documents and other important files are current. You might make a mistake, or data loss could occur during dynamic partition resizing. Once that's done, boot from an Ubuntu live CD/DVD/USB, select Try Ubuntu, and run the GParted Partition Editor.
Taking space from
You won't necessarily have to reinstall Ubuntu's GRUB2 boot loader to the Master Boot Record, but you might as well, as long as you're already booted into the live environment. (Otherwise, you might have to boot back to the live CD/DVD/USB to do it, after discovering that GRUB is not working well enough to boot Ubuntu...or to boot anything.)
Open a Terminal window (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run these commands to reinstall GRUB2 to the MBR (it's this technique, but with the correct values for your system filled in):
It's theoretically possible that your Windows system will also need to be repaired, but very unlikely, because:
In the event that your Windows system did stop booting and you had to repair it, you could do it from the recovery console on a Windows install DVD/USB, including a trial DVD/USB.
But you probably don't need to resize your partitions at all.
Now that I've presented detailed instructions for resizing your partitions, I'd like to suggest an alternative.
I'm guessing you want to expand your Windows primary partition because you need to fit more into folders that are supposed to be located on that partition and not some other partition.
However, you have another NTFS partition (a logical partition, in the extended partition, to the right of Ubuntu's partitions) with plenty of free space.
So you can make NTFS junctions in your small-ish Windows partition, with their target folders in the big-ish logical NTFS partiton.
For example, a folder from inside
Or take a look at "How to create and manipulate NTFS junction points," which explains how to use the
NTFS directory junctions are a lot like symbolic links in ext4 and other Unix-style filesystems. But be careful! Directory junctions are parsed like directories, even in situations where *nix symlinks would be parsed like files. For example:
NTFS junctions don't cause problems in Ubuntu. NTFS-3G, Ubuntu's NTFS filesystem driver, is compatible with them (though they're treated like Unix-style symbolic links, which means they behave a bit differently than on Windows).
For details or advice on creating and managing junctions (or other forms of symbolic links, as were added in Windows 7) within Windows, you should ask somewhere Windows is supported, such as Super User. (And, at least in my opinion, you should use Windows to make them if you decide to use them, even if it's theoretically possible to do so in Ubuntu.) But I wanted to present what may be a good alternative to resizing your partitions.
before proceeding, be prepared to have an unbootable system. Get a
Ok, here is what should be the simplest solution. Resize
Win7 shouldn't have problems in booting from a logical partition at the end of the disk if

Star Trek Potato Heads (Kirk and Kor or Spock and Uhura) for $19.99
Yes, Thinkgeek charges for shipping (shipping $7 to the west coast or free ground shipping on orders over $75)
Kirk and Kor
Spock and Uhura
Like peanut butter and jelly or portals and cake, the marriage of Star Trek: The Original Series and Mr. Potato Head is a match for the ages. Both were enjoyed by children from the mid-60s and onwards into our modern era. Both involve suspension of disbelief. And if you're into writing fanfic, you're probably no stranger to Kirk stealing and wearing one of Uhura's dresses.
The folks at Mr. Potato Head teamed up with Star Trek to make these four amazing toys. Can you capture Kirk's animal magnetism in a plastic potato? Maybe not quite, but he makes us smile whenever we look at him. Each Potato Head has parts that can be exchanged with other Star Trek Potato Heads.

they really are unique. Im a spud not a doctor.
Am I the only one puzzled by the inclusion of "Kor the Klingon"? I remember Khan. I remember Worf. I don't remember this guy. Perhaps they should have just gone for a red-shirted (red jacket?) potato...

A liquid drop is spherical in shape due to surface tension. But why does it appear as a vertical line under the free-fall due to gravity? (E.g. During a rain - falling raindrop) Is there a specified length for the line or does it vary with the size of drops?
A drop that is free falling in vacuum is spherical. This is because free falling in a gravitational field is the same thing as being at rest with no gravitational field present: the gravitational field and the acceleration cancel each other out.
Rain drops falling to the earth can have various shapes depending on their size, although I am not aware that they can become elongated (can you provide a source?). These shapes are due to the air flowing past them, in a rather intuitive way: roughly, air flow causes the bottom to become flatter.
Edit: Regarding the appearance of raindrops (as opposed to their physical shape), consider taking a photograph of falling rain. The camera integrates the incoming light over the exposure time $t$, during which the drop travels a distance of $v t$, where $v$ is the velocity. If we are close to the ground this will be the terminal velocity, which is about $2_{m/s}$. If we use an exposure time of $t=1/60_s$ (say we are using a flash), the drop will trace a line of length $\sim 3_{cm}$. The apparent line on the photograph then has to account for distance from the drop, etc.

"Pinch the nose and give two breaths. Breathe!"

Teacher, Guyla Conway: "We are training children to do CPR in case of an emergency."
Student, Jacob Edmisson: "I think it is going to be very helpful if there is ever an accident that we should be involved in. Because nowadays not very many people are learning CPR. So I think this is a very good operation for us to be doing."
Dan Miller is the instructor for the class.
"Blow Breathe. Go back to the chest."
He says it's great way to build self-esteem through the character counts program.
Dan Miller: "When you do CPR and you bring someone back to life that is a big accomplishment. And by teaching them this here that gives the confidence that there's nothing they can't accomplish."
Amy Patel says it's a great confidence booster. Amy Patel: "Because you're saving someone's life and it's really great."
Miller's second grade daughter Lauren is also CPR certified. Lauren Miller: "I practice at home. I have my own cards and it says I can save a person's life and it tells me that I can do it."
Students say it's a lot fun and a good way to learn.

[FIXED]Grid Plugins Example
Checkmark column shift-click
I'm working with the Grid Plugins Example page:
in IE and FF. If I click a row and then shift-click a row above or below it highlights the first, last, and each row between. If I then shift-click a row between the first and last the selection is truncated to where I jsut clicked, but the selection is truncated to just before where I clicked (the row I just clicked is excluded from the selection) and the row I had first shift-clicked on originally to expand my selection is still selected. As I type this I realize how difficult it is for even me to follow. I'll try and do better...
I click on row 1.
I shift-click on row 8. Rows 1-8 are selected.
I shift-click on row 5. Rows 1-4 are selected. Row 8 is selected.
If it makes any difference row 8 is darker than the other. Kind of a 'most selected' sort of highlighting. Don't know if that factors.
FF used: 3.6.13
IE used: 7.0.5730.13CO

slemmon -
Thanks for the post, this is a CSS bug that we need to address. One of the enhancements to the new grid and selection model is the fact that you can have discontinguous selection.
The darker blue highlight on the 8th row is indicating that particular row currently has focus, not that it is selected. If you press ctrl up/down you'll see how it is moving the focused row. You can also then press ctrl/shift/spacebar etc to select particular records as you would expect.
Next week's release will indicate the focused row with a color with a starker contrast to the selection color.
Thanks,Aaron Conran
17 Feb 2011 7:38 AM #3
Right on. Thx for the reply. I like the idea of a 'most selected' or focused row. Adobe Lightroom's picture preview runner has a 'most selected' view that makes it handy to know when you're applying attributes to multiple elements where those attributes are being copied from.

Really hard.
"We knew Weir was going to come out and give us everything that they had," said Haney. "We just needed to be sure we were ready for them."
They were.
"Our kids came out right from the tip and played with a lot of intensity," said Haney. "Tajuan Lawson had a good game for us. He had 10 points in the first quarter for us by taking the ball to the basket. I thought we were passing the ball well, sharing with one another.
"I like our hustle and especially our unselfishness. Whoever is open has to be ready for the ball because we're going to share it."
Big Red leaped out to a 31-11 lead after eight minutes and never looked back.
"This is my 14th year as head coach and this is, by far, the best Big Red team I've seen," said Granato. "This is a team that reminds me of the old Big Red teams when I was a kid, when coach (Chuck) Watt was coaching them. They played eight, nine, 10 guys and they were all pretty much the same size with the same speed.
"They shoot the ball well and have great athleticism. I think Mike has done a great job with them and they deserve a lot of credit.
"There is not question about it that they get after you. I think they are playing great team basketball beyond anything else. You talk to other coaches and they all talk about Big Red's defense and their ball pressure. I think the thing that jumps out at me more than any of those other things is their ball movement offensively.
"(Big Red point guard) Periogn (West) does a great job of keeping guys in the flow, getting guys moving. You can tell they get along on the court and they hasn't always been the case.
"Hats off to them."
Steubenville's Adam Sterling led the way with a game-high 19 points. Lawson added 18, Mylik Young 10 and Brandon Herring-Hill nine.
Mike Curtis paced the Red Riders with 12 points. Andre Sims added 11 and Shane Davis eight.
"What was encouraging tonight is that we were 18-for-40 from the field, the best we have shot all year," said Granato. "The second thing that was most encouraging was that we really looked for each other in the second half. It may not seem like that big of a deal, but in the fourth quarter no one was in there trying to get theirs.
"We were passing, looking for one another. Those are the type of things as you get into February and toward March, and you're in this situation which we're certainly not used to and sure do not like, and you look at as positives - guys sticking together.
"We don't have anybody being selfish. You're never happy with a 20-something point loss, but there are positives to take from tonight."
The teams will get back at it inside the Carl Hamill Fieldhouse Thursday.
"We still have things to work on," said Haney. "We're going to watch tape and try to improve on those things and get ready for Thursday."

Gorgeous picture.
It's absolutely amazing!.. love the nature!
I have so enjoyed the world you have opened up to me! I'm just amazed with the pictures and the information about this world I would of never been able to see if I didn't have you all...
very nice , indeed !
Not to hate or be judgmental or anything crazy like that, because I absolutely LOVE the picture, but... pink morning at sunset? Oxymoron much.
Definately a great picture, if fact its more than that. One has to be dedicated to ones camera, to get shots like this. The delicate pink sky is a huge contrast to the massive rock formation. Good job, as they say! j.e.s.
great picture
At the top of the "beret" a sculpture of the Virgen del Yugo is placed
very lovely!
The Grand Canyon? No las Bardenas Reales, sureste de Navarra.
It is a lovely picture...but is it morning (like the title says) or evening (like the description says)?
Wonderful! The best!
Very nice indeed! It has a warm clean freshness attached to it...
It IS a nice morning! :)

Is a nose job allowed Hallachicly? Not all cosmetic surgeries, but rhinoplasty in particular, as I heard that rhinoplasty is allowed because we see by a Kohen that having an abnormally long nose is a disqualification for serving in the Beis Hamikdash. (A source for that line of reasoning would be highly appreciated.)

See this comprehensive survey at Aish, about plastic surgery in general. It mentions this kohen reason, in the name of Rabbi Menashe Klein, in his Mishneh Halachos, and (IIUC) Rav Shlomo Zalman Aurbach. But others permit for very different reasons:
Then, a bit later:
He ruled in favor of allowing her to do this. In part,
A bit later,
There is also a position that it is OK except for the sakanah involved in it:
A halachic position against plastic surgery, including hashkafically:
And finally, Rav Shlomo Zalman Aurbach:
For precise sources, follow the link to the article and look at the footnotes.
Just to add to the many valid opinions already brought down, Hacham Ovadia Yosef (Yabia Omer C"M 8:12) permits all forms of plastic surgery for both married and unmarried women and men, as long as they do it by a professional to minimize the risk.
Here is the relevant conclusion:
Funny that today we all think about the need for "nose jobs" and cosmetic surgery for noses that are too long; in theory, a nose too short is a disqualification for a Cohen too! For a less vain example, let's talk about the case of the crooked nose (also on the list).
Rabbi Moshe Feinstein had allowed rhinoplasty for young woman who felt that her nose was seriously hurting her efforts to find a suitor. It has to do with when one is allowed to have injury caused to one's self (not to mention risk) for valid reasons.
(From here on out is my own reasoning, not Rabbi Feinstein's.)
The problem here becomes -- as America today is beginning to realize -- that we can get these very distorted senses of what's "normal" and not (e.g. based on the photoshopped faces we see on magazine covers), and before you know it, everyone "needs" a nose job. (What about this case of the newlywed groom who storms into the rabbi's office, furious that he doesn't like the look of his bride's private parts. Is the correct response she may have cosmetic surgery for the sake of their marriage, or is it slap this kid upside the head, yes this is what a real human being looks like so get over it). This is more of a philosophical question.
Note that Judaism believes in the use of science and technology to cure diseases. So we'd be inclined to say that if someone is actually disfigured, by all means use plastic surgery to "fix" them back to "normal." If someone was born with a perfectly fine, healthy nose that isn't quite the latest style these days, well then better to have some faith and be satisfied with one's lot.
One line that could be proposed is, as mentioned above, based on the list of disqualifying blemishes for a Kohen. If a woman was hiding one of these blemishes and she met a man who married her and thus agreed to paying her Ketubah, upon discovery of the blemish he could void his monetary offer. So it could be suggested that anything on the list (or equally severe) is something that medicine can fix (if we feel it needs fixing! If she was born without eyebrows but both he and she like the look, that's fine too). To try and fix anything else would be hubris.
As such I'd wonder if, in instances where plastic surgery is indicated, the goal should be an "averagely-proportioned" nose, not a "Hollywood photoshop nose." It's amazing how all the people on these plastic-surgery makeover shows wind up looking alike after the procedures.

Some time ago I was talking to a representative of one of the leading quantitative hedge funds. We talked about recruitment and the following had me stunned:
The representative explained that they used to hire graduate statisticians and PhDs from Maths, Physics, CS but have not done so in recent years. They claimed that they found that the statistical techniques the firm was using were too advanced and that the learning curve for new hires from that category was too step. Unfortunately they were not prepared to give examples.
Can somebody explain to me what techniques they might have been referring to? I am not looking for detailed insights into the strategies but rather the "toolbox" that firms use that would be too advanced for graduate statisticians or physics PhDs.
Would graphical models fall in that category?

Fowl Prey (Mass Market Paperbound)
Leaving the Hillside manor in capable hands, bed-and-breakfast hostess Judith McMonigle heads north to Vancouver's Hotel Clovia with her irrepressibly voracious cousin Renie for a pre-Thanksgiving getaway. But when an addled and impoverished popcorn vendor is murdered -- along with his foul-mouthed pet parakeet -- a local copper's suspicious gaze settles on the two visiting Americans. The cousins, in turn, suspect one of the "Sacred Eight" -- an odd-duck assortment of glamorous showbiz glitterati currently gathered at the historic hotel. And unless Judith and Renie can pluck a killer from the secretive, star-studded group, their geese will be thoroughly cooked in short order!

Because of the physical changes in the body, breast cancer can make a woman feel differently about herself. It may also affect feelings about relationships, particularly physical intimacy. These are very real-and, also, very natural feelings. Be attuned to how you are feeling and find ways to discuss these concerns with your partner, doctor, nurse, friend, another patient with breast cancer, or a counselor. It is important to understand and address these concerns so that they do not have a long-term effect on you and people close to you.
Will my relationship change?
Breast cancer brings on many stresses for both you and your partner. By sharing the experience and your feelings, you can develop an even closer, more open relationship than ever before. This takes communication and work, but it has been done over and over by many couples.
How will my partner feel?
Studies have shown that partners care most about their loved one being with them and a part of their lives. Some partners, however, will feel a loss about the change in your body. You may as well. It is important to acknowledge these feelings, which may include guilt or anger. As you want your partner to understand and accept the changes you are experiencing, you need to assure your partner that you accept their range of fears, concerns and feelings.
Will my sexual desire change?
It is possible that both of you may need to accept less sexual activity for a while and to find different ways of expressing intimacy. There are many physical reasons for a decrease in sexual desire. The most common physical reason is that treatment can reduce hormone levels. Others include nausea and discomfort related to chemotherapy.
Emotional issues can be a major factor as well. Because of the physical change in your body, your feelings about yourself may change and this can lead to a loss of desire. Becoming more comfortable and accepting of physical changes, and recognizing that you as a person have not changed, is key. Understanding how you and your partner are feeling, and accepting them, is part of the process toward finding different ways to feel close and loved. Many of the factors that contribute to a personal change in sexual desire resolve over time so that you can return to your prior level of desire and activity.
Will I feel depressed?
Depression may be a result of your cancer experience. Your feelings about yourself and your life can change significantly during your cancer experience. Depression can be treated with counseling and/or medication to help you regain a sense of control and enjoyment in your life. It is important to tell your doctor or nurse about how you feel so that the needed steps can be taken.
What can I do?
It is very important to talk with your partner so that you are both comfortable discussing the physical and emotional aspects throughout your cancer experience. Reading books, booklets, and information on the Internet, combined with attending seminars on the subject, can provide important information and a context for understanding your emotions. This material can also provide useful ways of addressing issues as they arise.
The University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center offers programs that cover this subject. We also offer a Counseling Service where you and/or your partner can comfortably discuss these issues with an experienced, caring professional. The American Cancer Society has an excellent booklet, Sexuality and Cancer, which is available for free by calling your local ACS.

I don't think they are necessarily different kinds of dictionaries, but is there a subtle distinction? Or maybe their etymologies?

字典 means dictionary of characters. A common 汉字字典 should contain ~8000 entries for each Chinese character. In each character entry, it's often to see example words or short phrases using that character. So, it's common to see a 汉字字典 is used as a 汉语词典.
词典 means dictionary of words. So, each entry of a 汉语词典 is a word. Generally 汉语词典 is sorted in alphabetic order in Chinese characters, so it's common to see a 汉语词典 is used as a 汉字字典.
So, in China, there's not too much difference between 汉字字典 and 汉语词典. But the book of 汉语词典 is mostly thicker then 汉字字典.
辞典 means dictionary of phrases. Generally, 辞 may refer to some famous, well known phrases said by some dead guys or famous man. Well, like I've said it's not too much differences between 词典 and 辞典, but a book of 汉语辞典 is mostly thicker then a 汉语词典. You can also expect that a 汉语大辞典 is thicker then a 汉语辞典.
In English, it will be something like:
English 字典: (26 entries)
English 词典:
English 辞典:
(Most 汉语辞典s include words and characters entries as well.)
词(辞)典 is for compound words, eg 成语词典、汉语词典、etc.
字典 is for Chinese characters and meanings, focus on character's meaning, may also contain related compound words.
The difference between 字典 and the other two is clear enough; the Baidu page on 字典 describes it as follows:
Non-Chinese languages lack a distinction between words and characters; Chinese differentiates between a 字典 and a 词典 because they have different goals.
The difference between 词典 and 辞典 is more subtle. A neither sourced nor particularly scholarly Baidu post gives the following:
(This same post claims that the main function of a 字典 is to provide pronunciation and writing information for characters.)

COPPERAS COVE (October 18, 2012)--A Copperas Cove pre-kindergarten teacher at Parsons Elementary School has resigned after she turned herself in on a warrant charging injury to a child, school officials confirmed Thursday.
Mary Ruth Ayers, 58, of Copperas Cove, a first-year teacher, was charged in an alleged incident involving a 4-year-old student who was in her class.
Ayers turned herself into police on Saturday, and was later released from the Coryell County Jail after posting a $10,000 bond.
In an arrest affidavit investigators said Ayres "flicked (the child) and hit him in the head."
The document goes on to say Ayres "grabbed the boy around his rib area with her hands that left bruises and scratches on his left rib area."
The victim was interviewed on Oct. 3 at the Children's Advocacy Center, in Belton, and during that interview, according to the affidavit, Ayres "grabbed the victim by the arm and (drug) him to the door."
A statement issued by Copperas Cove ISD spokeswoman Olga Peña says the district was notified on Oct. 13 that "Mary Ayers, a district pre-kindergarten teacher at Clements Parsons Elementary School, turned herself in on an arrest warrant with charges of injury to a child."
Peňa said Ayers was suspended from her position on Sept. 14 after district officials received a report alleging the use of inappropriate discipline techniques in Ayers' classroom.
School officials notified the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services of the allegations and said the district is cooperating fully with the Copperas Cove Police Department.
"This was Ayers' first year teaching in Copperas Cove ISD," the statement said.
"CCISD Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Joe Burns said district administrators are investigating the matter and will take every measure to support a safe and healthy learning environment for students.

Sporting KC Announces First Ever Jersey Sponsor
Posted: 2:57 PM Jan 17, 2013
Reporter: Sporting KC PR (Posted By J.B. Bauersfeld)
(January 17, 2013) - Sporting Club unveiled Ivy Funds as the first-ever jersey sponsor for Sporting Kansas City as part of a multi-year agreement announced at the 2013 MLS SuperDraft on Thursday. Headquartered in Overland Park, Kan., Ivy Funds becomes the presenting jersey partner of Sporting Kansas City and official investment management partner of Sporting Club.
"They offer us everything we wanted, with the key attribute being local," said Sporting Club CEO Robb Heineman. "Local was always the thing that was going to be most important to us in a jersey sponsor and then innovation. Ivy Funds has proven that they're an innovator in their field. We wanted something that connected to our community in a large way and that's exactly what this relationship is going to allow us to do."
The partnership aligns two companies based in Kansas City that have brands and business models that are national in scope. The multi-faceted and fully integrated corporate sponsorship also provides Ivy Funds with naming rights to the Executive Suite level at Sporting Park, entertainment at the stadium for clients and employees, as well as engagement opportunities with Sporting KC players for charitable efforts and appearances.
"Sporting Club is an exemplary franchise on and off the field, and we look forward to growing with them as soccer rapidly cements its place among professional sports in the United States, as it already has globally," said Thomas Butch, CEO and President of Ivy Funds Distributor, Inc. "With its visionary management, world-class venue and talented, accessible players and coaches, Sporting Kansas City provides a great partner to further extend the Ivy Funds brand throughout the United States and abroad. We look forward to a broad-based, constructive partnership."
Ivy Funds Distributor, Inc. became an affiliate of Kansas City-based Waddell & Reed in 2003 and has grown to be one of the fastest growing mutual fund families in the country over the last 10 years. Ivy Funds offers a broad mutual fund lineup and has ranked among the top performing fund families over a five-year period in Barron's "Best Mutual Fund Families" each of the last two years.
Ivy Funds' parent Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc., is a publicly traded investment management and financial planning company (NYSE:WDR). Originally founded in Kansas City in 1937, Waddell & Reed had $95 billion in assets under management at Sept. 30, 2012.
"It is gratifying that Ivy Funds' growth and recognition in the marketplace has enabled so ambitious a partnership with so outstanding a partner," said Henry J. Herrmann, Chairman and CEO of Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc., Ivy Funds' parent company, which has been based in Kansas City since its origin in 1937. "We believe our relationship with Sporting Club will enhance the already strong brand recognition of Ivy Funds and Waddell & Reed among all of our stakeholders."
Ivy Funds' sports sponsorship presence has been showcased at Sporting Park and Kauffman Stadium, and the company also serves as the lead sponsor of the Waddell & Reed Kansas City Marathon, with Ivy Funds since 2005.

Standing up for a bowel movement is a common habit for children who were used to defecating in their diaper while standing. Trying to poop while sitting probably feels unnatural and uncomfortable for your child.
You have already started to solve this problem by persuading him to leave the bathtub, where he could stand and feel most comfortable, to the potty, where the stools belong.
Next, suggest that he sit to urinate and then continue to sit until just an instant before he needs to defecate, and reward him for his effort. Continue to encourage him this way—particularly about fifteen minutes after meals and before bedtime, when the urge to have a bowel movement is greatest—until he accidentally releases stool into the potty while sitting.
Reward him greatly for this success. Soon, your reward system and your support will ease him into correct behavior.

All who did nothing to block violence must get busy
Jack Gorman, Waterbury
The senseless Dec. 14 tragedy in Newtown evoked heartbreak, anger, helplessness and disgust. No small part of this disgust is with myself — for doing nothing to consider the effect of the insane proliferation of guns and ammunition in our society. Let's be clear, we as citizens must make our voices heard to bring about legislation. The gun lobby has perfected the art of special-interest influence and as a result, has shaped legislation that has made the availability of guns and ammunition frightfully easy and widespread.

Like so many others caught up in the emotional turmoil of the incident and who feel they must "do something", you decide attacking the object, which cannot kill anyone by itself, should be the target of your frustration...rather then the persons who actually do the killing or the circumstance that lead them to it.
Those of us who are pro-gun are doing what has been unequivocally shown to block violence and are not just using empty rhetoric to pretend we're doing something like you are. "

Jack, there are plenty of places for those of you who don't want to follow our laws and Constitution to live. Venezuela has great weather. Only the government has guns there (just how you'd like it). Of course there'll be no more letter writing for you though. By Obama's term end, we may not have guns or the right to write letters either. We may all be jailed along with the "video maker that caused the attacks on Benghazi".
Does anyone know for sure what guns(s) Adam Lanza used? I heard he had a bushmaster in the car, but actually used handguns to do the killing. "
Seamus wrote on Jan 16, 2013 12:53 PM:
No one wants criminals/felons to have access to any type of firearm.
I am a Law Enforcement Officer and the consensus of our concerns has nothing to do with military style weapons or what is considered to be a high capacity magazine. Where did the magic "safe" number 10 come from? Now in NY the magic number is 7??? It's like a bunch of infants trying to one up each other. They are proposing laws in California to ban "Rocket Launchers" which are an NFA restricted item covered by Federal Law which has been in place since 1938.... Talk about uninformed.
As a law enforcement officer what ever legislature is put in place will be the same for police officers who will also be unable to possess them and will be limited to whatever magic number they come up with here... All emotion no common sense... Maybe I should get a horse and cowboy gun or a musket for a service weapon so you can feel better. "

Nothing being proposed would have had any effect on preventing the Newtown shooting from happening. A ban on high capacity magazines would not have magically made all the ones in circulation disappear. The shooter stole the weapons. He didn't have to go through any background check. He didn't have to wait the waiting period (well he did, got mad, so stole his mother's instead). He didn't have to be screened for any mental or psychological defect. He didn't have to show ID to purchase ammunition. He bypassed all of that. You are right to say that you don't have any tragedy-proof answers. Why? Because there are none, not unless you repeal the 2nd Amendment because that is the only way to disarm the People, and while you are at it the 4th, because in order to assure 100% compliance with repeal of the 2nd, you will have to forcibly search for and seize every nook and cranny in America.
While you may have some heartburn with what I am about to say (understandably) I fully believe that whatever the people have is good enough for the police. There is no reason to have a step up on the average citizen. A disparity in firepower will only lead to oppression and an even more tyrannical police-state.
@Citizens 4 Fairness
Should the police get rid of guns too? Would that make you feel safer? Prove your case with England. You haven't yet. And umm... I don't think WMD's were ever found in Iraq. Something about launching a war on a false premise?
His recommendations directly conflict with the 2nd Amendment. I am glad you are for hunters and self-defense. But I don't tell you what car you can drive, how much power it should have, what brand it should be, what features it can and can't have. Why are you using the same premise on those who appreciate guns? After all, driving is only a privilege. Gun ownership is a right.
@White Democrat
Post-1994 gun crime didn't budge. I'll cite the DOJ Crime Statistics here as well as the FBI UCR. Heller v DC already determined that the 2nd Amendment didn't require membership in the military or militia. The rest of the Amendment reads 'The right of the People to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.' You have a lot of work to do my friend. "

We have been through this before. You can scream fire in a movie theater. It is a crime if you do. You can yell bomb on a plane. It is a crime if you do. You can shoot someone without cause. It is a crime if you do.
These rights are rights guaranteed to the People. However, there are penalties for misusing them, abusing them.
The Second Amendment says 'arms', yes. And right after that it says 'shall not be infringed'. Arms means firearm, which is derived from the Latin 'arma' meaning weapon. That is the definition. Picking and choosing which ones is infringing. "

@kitty- you crack me up. you guys discount the car analogy all the time. now it's a good comparison? you're right, you can't drive a race car on the road. but, you can drive a corvette. you can't own a fully automatic, m16(without strict authorization), but you can get a scary looking ar15, which is a dressed up semi auto rifle. we don't install governors to limit speed. why can we buy a car that's capable of 150mph? the highest speed limit in the U.S. is 70. why can we buy "high capacity cars"? an accident with one of those has the potential to kill greater numbers of people. in fact, over 40,000 people were killed by cars last year alone, and the government did nothing. where is your outrage? do you know how many kids cars killed last year?

I am not allowed to have the same security the President has. Google 'Dillon Aero'. This is the machine that follows the President around wherever he goes. If I could afford one, and maintain it, I would love to have it. But the President gets to have one follow him around wherever he goes. What the he** does he need that for? Seriously? Are they really expecting a small army to invade the motorcade where they need to lay down suppressive fire? The problem is, what is good enough for me should be good enough for him. When you have that disparity between the ruling class and the common man, only tyranny will result.
Our rights may have been taken away with the PATRIOT act but we never agreed with it from the get-go. There are parts of it that are largely unconstitutional and I have held that position since they day I began to care about politics.
Obama won for two reasons. I will most certainly be called a racist for this, so I will cite fact. First, the more benign reason. Romney was an awful candidate. Everyone knew that he was going to fail from the beginning, at least I did. He was in hawk to large corporations and super PAC's. Bought and paid for by the highest bidder. He never stood on a firm ground when it came to any of the serious issues. He was a puppet. The second reason Obama won is largely the black vote. Blacks turned out in record to vote for a black president. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/politics/2012-exit-polls/national-breakdown/) An overwhelming 93% of the black vote went to Obama. White voters don't go out and vote for a guy or woman because he or she is white, black or otherwise. But the perception here is that blacks don't follow the same course. Just sayin'. I will let you deduce what you wish from that data. (The poll was initially conducted by Edison Media Research, you'll have to pay if you want to see the raw figures) When I go to the voting booth, I vote on principle. I ask myself 'Who best represents my ideals?' I don't tow any party line. It would seem to me that more people voted more on the basis that they could elect a black president, than a black president who actually represented their values and beliefs. Call me a racist, but if you don't have a thick skull, you'll see that I am not. (By comparison whites voted closer to 40/60)
Lastly, at one point in this country's history, we used to have Judges that were true to the Constitution. They made their rulings and opinions strictly by the word of the law. Now, the nominating judges has largely become a political process, with both sides trying push in judges that represent their own beliefs hoping that they'll legislate from the bench in their favor. This is purely a disgrace to what it means to be a judge. A judge is supposed to ensure compliance with existing law, not make political inferences as to what it should mean.
You say gun control is for the people's safety, so then I ask, what makes the President any safer by surrounding him with guns and armed Secret Service? If gun control was as effective, one would assume he would disarm those that protect him.
We are all aware that you believe you have the RIGHT not to be gunned down at a mall or movie theater. You are correct. The Constitution states that you have a right to life. The 2nd Amendment was put into the Bill of Rights to guarantee that right, to guarantee you will have a means to protect yourself. You choose not to use your 2nd Amendment, and rely on public safety to provide your security. I, on the other hand, choose to protect myself and my family, and not place that burden or responsibility on public safety. We are both correct. The only difference is that you choose to place that burden of protecting your right to life on someone else, whereas I choose to go it alone.
You keep saying that the NRA is in bed with gun manufacturers, that their membership figures are bloated and that they get money for every gun sold. I'm going to hold your feet to the fire. Prove it. You cite no sources. As far as I am concerned, your argument is null and void here.
Enough is enough Kitty. Anyone can make a poll say anything they want. I choose to throw them out the window because they aren't telling me anything I don't know. I spent over an hour listening to Thom Hartmann last night on SiriusXM Left. His show was largely opinion that conservatives are 'fear-mongers' and went on and on about how great the ban on assault weapons would be. But not once, did he cite anything that proves his case. Just that if we ban assault weapons, it might make a difference. Really? Might? How about we stop deluding ourselves? Actually think this thing through and come up with resolutions to the problem that will actually work.
I leave you with this. When you are at the mall next time, imagine a shooter begins unraveling his evil plan to do some carnage. Would you rather have someone there right at that moment, say a civilian who is carrying concealed, who could eliminate the threat now, or would you rather wait a few minutes after the police can get there?
Right on the money my friend. Red state dems are praying that any such bill never comes before the floor so they don't have to vote, period. Are you definitely going tomorrow? "
al.cap wrote on Jan 18, 2013 5:41 PM:
@kitty- how, exactly, will an aw ban get in front of the scotus if it never gets instituted? they don't just arbitrarily issue rulings. a state suit might make it. but we've had state bans for years, and none have got there yet, that i'm aware of.
i said, weeks ago, that obama would squander the momentum and political capital chasing divisive policies that accomplish nothing. he hasn't proved me wrong. "

(On a side note: Ron Paul declined secret service protection for the full period of time it was offered to him during his candidacy for GOP Presidential Nominee. Not only did he talk the talk, he walked the walk. I question any President who feels the need to be surrounded by armed Secret Service and at the same time tells me that I only need 'x' amount of rounds in my gun, or that I can only own guns he specifies.)

I love when the republicans say it was Fannie and Freddie and the democrats that caused the mortgage meltdown and completely absolve george w bush and the republicans…..wow……..
They say the democrats made the banks lend to people that were not credit worthy……… creating the subprime market…..no one makes banks lend to anyone not meeting their underwriting criteria…….case in point after the bailout the banks would not lend to anyone and it wasn't even their own capital….it was the taxpayers money……also not all banks were in the subprime market… there was a bank that was the same size as the bank I worked at…….they did not get involved in the subprime market….when the market collapsed….. this bank was well capitalized and went out and bought many other banks….. I rest my case.
The people who make these assertions do not understand the subprime market….. how it was born and how it worked……..It all started with banks packaging their loans and selling them to investment banks…….who then sold them to investors……….the banks made their profit immediately…..they did not make it over the life of the loan as with traditional loans………the demand for these mortgage backed securities became a hot item on wall street…..the banks needed a large volume of loans to keep up with the demand and the profits were huge…..hence the underwriting standards kept getting lower and lower… to keep up with demand in the market for their new found product that was a gold mine………this of course drove the price of real estate higher and higher……..now the fatal mistake they somehow made was this was going to go on forever …….never end…………….well of course it did end…………and the rest is history……….
Investors have filed lawsuits against 15 investment banks ……as they misrepresented how risky these mortgage backed securities actually were.
We have barely started to see a recovery from this disaster and once again the republicans are calling to repeal dodd frank so they can operate in their own best interest once again……they do this under the guise that it will create jobs……….of course we all know better……

lend to anyone and it wasn't their capital.....also people's had no sub prime exposure......so that proves your "theory" wrong......the way to take back our government is to get rid of k street and enact campaign finance reform and get rid of citizens united......you will then have a congress and president just listening to all of the electorate......not special interest groups.....

Her trigger finger has more intelligence than that Socialist traitor you voted for has in his whole Marxist body. She is an idiot because she believes in God, believes in self reliance and personal responsibility? Because she looks up to people like George Washington, MLK, and Ronald Reagan instead of Mao,Farrakhan, Ayers and Obama sr?
Or was it because she chose to have a handicapped child rather than kill him?
Or that she had a career and was a mother?
Your racism is showing again.
She is a moron? Can you say Joe "big f-in deal" Biden? "

Michael Steele former GOP Leader
Tim Scott, Mia Love, Colonel Allen West. Just a few off the top of my head that I consider LEADERS that happen to be black, Not black leaders. You'd probably call them uncle toms. "

a reading of the cra in 1995(clinton's doing), and the attempts in later years, by the bush administration, to revise the cra (over the objections of who?), point directly to the involvement of leading democrats in the housing collapse. there was at least one warning, as early as 1998. i may not be an accountant, but it doesn't take one to connect the dots. to absolve the ones who were deepest in the manure pile is blatantly partisan.
can we please get back on topic now? "

@AL....Funny you mention the CRA.....although i did not work in mortgage lending every employee every year at the bank had to read all the baking laws and then take test on all of them .........I read extensively on the CRA and then took the test every year for 15 years.......the cra was about redlining and it expressly said TO LEND TO CREDIT WORTHY APPLICANTS....wrong one again.....

Talk about 1 heartbeat from the white house. Really? Biden? Really? Biden being VP is probably what kept some nut job from assassinating the President. Obama picked the biggest idiot in DC to be his VP as an insurance policy. "

Yup Mr Romney is a really mean man. You really are hooked on the kook-aid.
Maybe if Ms Palin was given a speaking role at the Republican Convention, things would have turned out differently?
Why is it when the Left is afraid of someone, they have to use the label kook? Romney wasn't my 1st pick either, but 1000x better than we have now. "
