NYC Prep School Fires History Teacher for Mysterious Racial Joke
He blames his South African sarcasm.
The New York Times again visits the opaque world of New York City's private prep schools today in an investigation of the controversial firing of Barry Sirmon, a ninth-grade history teacher at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School. Since his dismissal last month, around 350 of the school's 1,690 students have signed a petition to have Sirmon reinstated, although the Times was unable to nail down exactly what his offending remarks were. They did note that he's "known — and loved by many — for an off-color sense of humor that defies political correctness." Here's the rumor mill:
Several parents interviewed offered varying accounts of the controversial comments by Mr. Sirmon, who was at the school for 11 years. According to one version, he told two black students that he hoped he would be able to tell them apart. In another, he questioned whether a light-skinned black student was really black.
The situation is made more interesting by the fact that Sirmon is South African and was raised during apartheid. As a young man in the South African Army, Sirmon was sent to modern-day Namibia to put down a black independence movement, but said he refused his orders and eventually fled to the United States.
He declined to repeat the comments that got him fired, but insisted "they were not racist or anti-Semitic." Rather, "It was an attempt to show how lame and stupid these 'isms' are, racism and anti-Semitism," he said. "The claims were horrible; what they claim, I dispute vehemently."
"Jokes I've made in the past, light-hearted, were misinterpreted," he admitted. But Sirmon blames the misunderstandings on his sarcasm, typical of Brits and South Africans. Indeed, in an anonymous RateMyTeachers.com post from last year, in which Sirmon received a 5/5 for easiness and 1/5 for clarity, one student wrote, "You can tell he is always bored because of how sarcastic he is." Another said, "He is really dry, sarcastic, and arrogant. But that's why we love him."

By Kari Hawkins, USAG Redstone March 26, 2014
REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. -- Wherever he goes, Warren Harmon carries with him the Vietnam War.
The license tag on his SUV recognizes his status as a Vietnam veteran. So, too, does the hat and vest that he often wears when he goes out in public.
But that war -- now 50 years old -- is also carried in Harmon's thoughts and memories, in the activities that fill his retirement life and in his motivation to show other Vietnam veterans that their service is appreciated today more than ever before.
Because of Harmon and a group of fellow Vietnam veterans, Huntsville now has an active chapter of the Vietnam Veterans Association. With 215 members, Chapter 1067 has become Alabama's largest VVA chapter and one of the nation's most significant chapters in the three years it has been established.
"We started in 2012 with 43 members. Of the 215 we have today, 159 are lifetime members," Harmon said. "With 50,000 to 60,000 veterans in the North Alabama area, we want to grow to be the largest VVA chapter in the nation."
Because of Harmon and that same group of veterans, Huntsville, Madison and Madison County will once again honor their Vietnam veterans at the third annual Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans event Saturday with the theme "A Time for Healing." The event includes a meet-and-greet from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and a ceremony at 1 p.m. that will include guest speaker state Sen. Bill Holtzclaw, Team Redstone leader Lt. Gen. David Mann and the Army Materiel Command Band.
The Welcome Home event along with community and educational activities coordinated by its members is making the Huntsville VVA chapter one of the most active military-connected groups in the community.
"A lot of us never admit we are Vietnam veterans because of the way we were treated when we came home," Harmon said.
"We are trying to get these veterans to see that the perception of the public has changed. When I wear my Vietnam hat, people will stop and thank me for my service. That never happened in those years after the war. Sometimes, when I'm parked at the mall or somewhere public like that, people will see my Vietnam veteran plate and put thank you notes on my windshield."
The local VVA chapter started from an idea that came up among Harmon and fellow veterans during a veteran counseling session at The Vet Center. They all agreed that there was a need for a Welcome Home event for Vietnam veterans to help right the wrongs of the past.
"We started this chapter in January 2012 for this event," Harmon said. "We quickly got the support of the mayors and the county commission chairman, and they designated March 29 as Vietnam veterans day. Then, we went to Gov. (Robert) Bentley, and he designated it as Vietnam veterans day throughout the entire state."
The local VVA chose March 29 as the day to honor Vietnam veterans because it is the date when the last major combat brigade came out of Vietnam in 1973, and when the Military Advisory Command-Vietnam closed its doors. It is a date that is recognized as Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day across Alabama. Each year, the governor signs a resolution giving the date its official designation. Other events for Vietnam veterans are held on this date across the state.
The local event is also part of the nation's commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. In 2012, President Barack Obama proclaimed May 28, 2012 through Nov. 11, 2025 as the Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War, during which events, such as the Chapter 1067's Welcome Home event, are held as part of that commemoration and can be found listed at www.vietnamwar50th.com. In his proclamation, the president stated that it is "never too late to pay tribute to the men and women who answered the call of duty with courage and valor," and that the commemoration is "a 13-year program to honor and give thanks to a generation of proud Americans who saw our country through one of the most challenging missions we have ever faced."
Harmon is among that generation of proud Americans. He joined the Marines in 1959 after graduating from high school in Chattanooga, Tenn.
"I was only 17, so my dad (who had served in the Navy during World War II) had to sign the papers for me to join. He wouldn't sign, and I argued with him five or six months. I told my dad right before my birthday that I was going to sign up after I turned 18 on Nov. 8. On Nov. 5, he said 'I'll sign those papers now.' He knew I wasn't going to let it go," Harmon recalled.
"Two days after my birthday I was in Nashville taking the oath and signing up. I was joining the Marines to see the world. My dad knew that any war that came along I would be in it."
And his dad was right.
Harmon fought in Vietnam during two tours, one as a Marine and another as a Soldier. His 11-year Marine career was in ground combat intelligence, with instruction in intelligence analysis and the Vietnamese language before his 1968-69 tour in the war zone.
"Because I was military intelligence, I ended up on the ground with infantry," he said.
He served as a chief scout and interpreter for the Marines 3rd Battalion, 3rd Regiment, 3rd Division. He led a unit of dog handlers, snipers and Kit Carson Scouts, which were North Vietnamese soldiers or Viet Cong who were captured and enscripted to work as interpreters and scouts for U.S. troops.
"We could see the North Vietnamese Army raise and lower their flag over the demilitarized zone. That's how close we were," Harmon said. "I replaced someone who got killed. As soon as I got to Alpha 3 Fire Support Base, I went on a three-day mission so that I could get 'acclimated.'"
He often was called on to search the bodies of dead North Vietnamese for any types of intelligence that could work in the favor of the U.S. war effort. He also translated for the Marines, often moving between different infantry companies when called on to provide assistance.
There were many close calls during the intelligence reconnaissance missions that filled Harmon's 10 months in the jungles of Nam. During one such close call in a remote area of the jungle, Harmon was taken off a return helicopter flight at the last minute to make room for an officer who had to travel with the unit's leadership.
"When that helicopter took off, I was so angry and I was cussing up a storm," he said. "But, 200 feet up, the helicopter got hit by an RPG (rocket propelled grenade) and then it exploded into a fireball with the blades going everywhere. No one survived.
"I fell to my knees and thanked God because that could have been me in that helicopter, instead of the lieutenant colonel battalion commander who took my seat away from me."
Despite his excellence in combat, and his promotion to gunnery sergeant while in Vietnam, Harmon was not able to fulfill his dream of being selected to become a warrant officer in the Marines. In 1969, after three disappointments in not being selected, Harmon decided to transfer to the Army, where he entered as a warrant officer.
"I was always in love with the Marine Corps and I never really got over that love. Once I got to the Army, I realized the discipline wasn't the same. The Army had a different standard," he said.
Again, in 1971-72, he served in Vietnam, this time coordinating reconnaissance and intelligence missions for the 23rd Infantry Division and then the 196th Light Infantry Brigade.
Harmon excelled in his Army career, making it all the way to chief warrant officer 4 in 20 years of Army service. In 1975, he transferred from military intelligence to quartermaster, where he served for 15 years before retiring on Jan. 31, 1990, with more than 32 years of military service.
"I was 48 years old when I retired and I had PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). But I never knew it. They didn?'t call it PTSD back then. It was combat stress and depression. But I always knew I wasn't right. I was ill tempered all the time. I had no close friends. I didn't sleep well and I always had nightmares about Vietnam," he said.
His first marriage ended in divorce after 25 years. But Harmon remarried in 1987 during his last assignment, which brought him to Redstone Arsenal. He and his second wife met while employed by the Test Measurement and Diagnostics Equipment lab.
After his retirement, Harmon interviewed for several civilian jobs, and even got some job offers. But he found himself mired in the no-man?'s land between the military and the civilian worlds.
"Even though I had all these qualifications, I would get cold feet. I would lose confidence. So, I didn?'t take any offers, and I didn?'t work for five years," he said.
At age 53, Harmon decided to try long distance truck driving. That lasted about a year. He then settled into a heavy equipment operator and truck driving job with a Hartselle construction company until a second retirement.
In 2009, Harmon started getting medical treatment for his PTSD and began going to group counseling at The Vet Center. Now 72 and living with his wife, Anne Ridgeway Harmon, in Decatur, Harmon knows the keys to fighting the demons of the Vietnam War are to stay busy, active and involved.
"I hope all Vietnam veterans can find a way to have a better quality of life for themselves and their families," he said. "Because of PTSD and the way they feel, it's best to keep busy in ways that keeps their mind off of things. Being involved in all these community activities can really help to overcome some of those bad feelings."
When talking to other Vietnam veterans, Harmon often sees his feelings and experiences reflected back to him through their stories.
"A lot of these guys will say when they came back to the U.S., that people spat on them and called them dogs. They were treated so bad in their communities. So, how Vietnam veterans feel about our chapter, the Welcome Home and the other things we're doing is kind of mixed," he said.
"A lot of them are still in that depressed state. They more or less hold a grudge about how they were treated when they got back and when they went to the VA to get benefits. Many of us suffer from PTSD. These veterans don't socialize, they don't have any close friends and they aren't in therapy. And then, there are a lot of them who will say 'I don't want to join an organization that doesn't do anything and that has boring meetings.' Our chapter wants to help them by giving them a way to get out and meet people, and to do something. And I can assure them this is not going to be an organization that doesn't do anything."
Besides the Welcome Home event, the local VVA is also active in the Memorial Day Program at Maple Hill Cemetery, the Veterans Day Parade and a host of other patriotic activities. They meet once a month on the second Thursday at 5 p.m. at the Civitan's Care Building (the former Knights of Columbus) on Leeman Ferry, where they come together to discuss veterans issues.
Harmon was "drafted" by fellow Vietnam veterans to serve as the local chapter's president.
"As a retired chief warrant officer 4, I was the one with senior military rank, and they told me I was the president," he said.
"But rank doesn?'t matter as far as this organization goes. And we also do not make a distinction between combat veterans and Vietnam era veterans (those who served during Vietnam but didn?'t go into combat). We are all the same when it comes to serving our country."
Editor's note: Vietnam veterans who would like to join the local VVA Chapter 1067 should call Chapter 1067 first vice president and membership chairman Richard Knight at 722-3027. To join, veterans need a copy of their DD214. Knight can provide interested veterans with information about special membership offers. Veterans who are already a member of VVA can transfer their membership to Chapter 1067.

Judge holds assault suspect without bailApril 10,2014Assault suspect held without bail
A Whitehall, N.Y., man, who was charged with breaking into a Fair Haven womans home, holding her at gunpoint and choking her, was ordered jailed without bail by a Rutland criminal court judge Wednesday.
Charles P. Kendall, 44, pleaded innocent in court to felony counts of burglary and aggravated domestic assault in the first degree with a weapon and misdemeanor charges of violating a restraining order and interfering with access to emergency services.
After lengthy arguments Wednesday, Judge Theresa DiMauro granted a request from Rutland County States Attorney Marc Brierre to jail Kendall without bail.
DiMauro said the evidence in the case appeared to be strong and the risk to the woman he threatened was high. She also decided based on a history of contempt cases in New York courts and his failure to abide by the conditions of a restraining order, that neither bail nor court orders would remove the risk to the woman Kendall allegedly attacked on Feb. 15.
Fair Haven Police say Kendall broke into a home on North Main Street and used a .22-caliber Derringer pistol to threaten a woman who was in bed. During the break-in he allegedly demanded to see the womans cellphone and then choked her to the point that she couldnt breathe.
Kendall was arrested by Whitehall Police in late February for being a wanted fugitive. On Tuesday, he waived extradition and was returned to Vermont where he is being held at the Rutland jail.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

USDA Retail Food-Inflation Forecasts for 2011 (Text)
Following is the text detailing forecasts for percentage changes in annual food prices, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture:
Food Price Outlook, 2011
In 2011, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all food is projected to increase 3 to 4 percent. Food-at-home (grocery store) prices are forecast to rise 3.5 to 4.5 percent, while food-away-from-home (restaurant) prices are forecast to increase 3 to 4 percent. Although food price inflation was relatively weak for most of 2009 and 2010, cost pressures on wholesale and retail food prices due to higher food commodity and energy prices, along with strengthening global food demand, have pushed inflation projections for 2011 upward.
The all-food CPI increased 0.8 percent between 2009 and 2010, the lowest food inflation rate since 1962. Food-at-home prices increased by 0.3 percent--the lowest annual increase since 1967- -with cereal and bakery product prices declining 0.8 percent and processed fruit and vegetable prices dropping 1.3 percent. Food-away-from-home prices rose 1.3 percent in 2010, the lowest annual increase for restaurant prices since 1955.
March 2011 Prices (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
The CPI for all food increased 0.7 percent from February to March 2011, increased 0.4 percent from January to February 2011, and is now 2.9 percent above the March 2010 level. The food-at-home CPI increased 1 percent in March 2011 and is up 3.6 percent from last March, while the food-away-from-home index was up 0.3 percent in March 2011 and is 1.9 percent above last March. Food commodity and energy price increases over the past 9 months have caused recent increases in grocery store prices, resulting in ERS raising its food-at-home inflation forecast to 3.5 to 4.5 percent for 2011. The all-items CPI was up 1 percent in March, mostly due to higher food and energy prices, and is 2.7 percent above the March 2010 level.
Beef prices increased 2.3 percent in March and are 12.2 percent above last March, with steak prices up 11 percent and ground beef prices up 13.6 percent. Pork prices increased 2.3 percent in March and are 11.2 percent above last March's level. Poultry prices were unchanged in March and are 2.2 percent above prices last year at this time, with chicken prices up 1.6 percent and other poultry prices (including turkey) up 4.7 percent. As commodity prices and input costs have risen over the past 9 months, beef and pork prices are now significantly higher than in 2010. Increased inflation for beef and pork products is expected for most of 2011, as reflected in ERS's forecasts--beef prices are now projected to increase 7 to 8 percent and pork prices 6.5 to 7.5 percent in 2011.
Egg prices decreased 0.2 percent in March 2011 (the third consecutive monthly decline), so egg prices are now just 1 percent above the March 2010 level.
Dairy prices were up 1.3 percent in March and are 3.7 percent above the March 2010 level. Within the dairy category, prices changed as follows in March: milk prices were up 3.4 percent and are 6.8 percent above last March's prices; cheese prices were up 1 percent and are 1.9 percent above last March's level; ice cream and related product prices were down 1.5 percent but are 4.2 percent above last March's level; and butter prices increased 1.7 percent this month and are 31.9 percent above last March. In 2010, dairy prices were up only 1.1 percent from 2009 (following a 6.4-percent decline from 2008 to 2009). However, higher projected prices for farm milk in 2011 will lead to increases of 4.5 to 5.5 percent for retail dairy product prices in 2011 based on current ERS forecasts.
Fresh fruit prices decreased a mostly seasonal 1.3 percent in March. The fresh fruit index is down 1.5 percent overall from last year at this time, with apple prices up 2.3 percent, banana prices up 6.3 percent, citrus fruit prices up 8.5 percent, and other fresh fruit prices down 8.2 percent. Fresh fruit prices fell in 7 of the past 14 months, leading to an overall fresh fruit price decline of 0.6 percent in 2010. However, current forecasts predict some price inflation for fruit prices in 2011. The fresh vegetable index increased 4.2 percent in March. Since last year at this time, fresh vegetable prices are up 9.8 percent, with potato prices up 12.1 percent, lettuce prices up 27.3 percent, tomato prices up 10.6 percent, and other fresh vegetable prices up 5 percent. Processed fruit and vegetable prices increased 0.3 percent in March (the seventh monthly increase in the past 14 months) and are 1.2 percent above the March 2010 level.
Cereal and bakery product prices were up 0.5 percent from February to March 2011 and are up 1.8 percent from last year at this time, with bread prices up 2.7 percent and breakfast cereal prices up 2.1 percent over the past year. Although cereal and bakery product prices declined 0.8 percent overall in 2010, higher wheat commodity costs should begin to affect cereal and bakery product prices over the next few months, causing prices to rise 3.5 to 4.5 percent overall in 2011. Sugar and sweets prices were up 0.7 percent in March and are 2.8 percent above last March. Within the nonalcoholic beverages category, prices changed as follows in March: carbonated drink prices were up 1.1 percent and are up 1 percent from March 2010; coffee prices were up 3.9 percent and are up 9.4 percent from last March; and nonfrozen noncarbonated juices and drinks prices were down 0.1 percent in March and are unchanged from the March 2010 level.
Background on the CPI for Food
Although ERS analyzes changes in retail prices for individual food items, sometimes it is useful to record and analyze a measure of change for the overall level of food prices.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the most publicized and most widely used measure of the general level of prices in the U.S. economy. The CPI is a composite measure of the level of average prices paid by urban consumers for a defined market basket of goods and services, including food.
The CPI for food at home is a component of the full CPI and is the principal indicator of changes in retail food prices. Policymakers, both public and private, closely follow the CPI for food consumed at home and its changes, which measure price inflation for food items. The CPI for food consumed at home also affects policy evaluation because the effects of many current and proposed policies are evaluated based on CPI measures. To contribute to the analysis of government and commercial decisionmakers, ERS estimates the future direction of changes in the CPI for all food, food at home, and food away from home (see data on the CPI for food forecasts).
The food price level can be influenced by changes in costs incurred by food system firms. Changes in input costs can translate directly into changes in the CPI or may have little or no effect. Researchers at ERS not only produce forecasts of the CPI but also analyze the impact of economic factors on changes in the CPI, including changes in firms' costs.
ERS regularly updates and provides food price forecasts for the short-term period of 12 to 18 months. These forecasts are a composite of formal model results and judgment. Monthly Bureau of Labor Statistics' indexes for all food, food away from home, food at home, and 15 food at home categories are used in conjunction with ERS analysis to adjust the current short-term forecasts for each of the food categories. See ERS data on the CPI for food and CPI forecasts.
ERS food price forecasts are developed through a three-step process:
First, USDA develops its 10-year baseline projections. The baseline provides long run projections for the agricultural sector and covers agricultural commodities, agricultural trade, and aggregate indicators of the sector, including farm income and food prices. The baseline projections are a conditional scenario with no shocks and are based on specific assumptions regarding the macroeconomy, agricultural policy, the weather, and international developments. In particular, the baseline incorporates provisions of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Act) and assumes that current farm legislation remains in effect through the projections period. For the actual projections, see the USDA Agricultural Baseline Projections Briefing Room.
In the second step, ERS analysts develop the short-term forecasts that incorporate the most recent baseline assumptions and current information on market conditions and expectations, weather patterns, commodity prices and supplies, and expected consumer demand for specific foods.
In the third step, these short-term forecasts are compared with a computer-based Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model that determines whether the ERS short-term forecast falls within an expected statistical range of a 95-percent confidence interval.
Food price forecasts developed using this three-step process are subject to revision if the conditions on which they are based should change significantly. Projections could be affected by changes, for example, in the feed grain crop outlook; in export markets, especially for meat items; in nonfarm markets; or in weather-related crop conditions in major fresh fruit and vegetable growing areas.
Historical data indicate that fresh fruits and vegetables and egg prices are the most volatile food prices that ERS tracks. Grain price changes affect the price of meats, poultry, eggs, and dairy products more than the prices of other food items and to a lesser extent cereals and bakery products. Because these items account for more than half of the at-home food dollar, price changes for these categories can significantly affect the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for food at home.

In Summer 2002 eddy covariance flux measurements of CO2 were performed over a dense urban surface. The month-long measurements were carried out in the framework of the Basel Urban Boundary Layer Experiment (BUBBLE). Two Li7500 open path analysers were installed at z/z H = 1.0 and 2.2 above a street canyon with z H the average building height of 14.6 m and z the height above street level. Additionally, profiles of CO2 concentration were sampled at 10 heights from street level up to 2 z H . The minimum and maximum of the average diurnal course of CO2 concentration at 2 z H were 362 and 423 ppmv in late afternoon and early morning, respectively. Daytime CO2 concentrations were not correlated to local sources, e.g. the minimum occurred together with the maximum in traffic load. During night-time CO2 is in general accumulated, except when inversion development is suppressed by frontal passages. CO2 concentrations were always decreasing with height and correspondingly, the fluxes – on average – always directed upward. At z/z H = 2.2 low values of about 3 µmol m−2 s−1 were measured during the second half of the night. During daytime average values reached up to 14 µmol m−2 s−1. The CO2 fluxes are well correlated with the traffic load, with their maxima occurring together in late afternoon. Daytime minimum CO2 concentrations fell below regional background values. Besides vertical mixing and entrainment, it is suggested that this is also due to advection of rural air with reduced CO2 concentration. Comparison with other urban observations shows a large range of differences among urban sites in terms of both CO2 fluxes and concentrations.

I would like to edit my document with non-printing characters (formatting marks: white space, paragraph marks, etc) visible. I find them quite distracting for reading, because they are shown in the same size and color as real text. How I can I change the color with which these special characters are displayed? It is possible to mark a single special character and change its color, but that does not affect the other symbols and new symbols.
I have seen on screenshots that Word for Mac displays the non-printing characters in a light blue, so it seems possible in principle. I would prefer a very light grey.

The properties and high-efficiency potential of front- and rear-emitter silicon heterojunction solar cells on n- and p-type wafers were experimentally investigated. In the low-carrier-injection range, cells on p-type wafers suffer from reduced minority carrier lifetime, mainly due to the asymmetry in interface defect capture cross sections. This leads to slightly lower fill factors than for n-type cells. By using high-quality passivation layers, however, these losses can be minimized. High open-circuit voltages (Vocs) were obtained on both types of float zone (FZ) wafers: up to 735 mV on n-type and 726 mV on p-type. The best Voc measured on Czochralski (CZ) p-type wafers was only 692 mV, whereas it reached 732 mV on CZ n-type. The highest aperture-area certified efficiencies obtained on 4 cm2 cells were 22.14% (Voc = 727 mV , FF = 78.4%) and 21.38% (Voc = 722 mV, FF = 77.1%) on n- and p-type FZ wafers, respectively, proving that heterojunction schemes can perform almost as well on high-quality p-type as on n-type wafers. To our knowledge, this is the highest efficiency ever reported for a full silicon heterojunction solar cell on a p-type wafer, and the highest Voc on any p-type crystalline silicon device with reasonable FF.

Games Master UKThe engine could do with some extra juice, but this is still a vastly rewarding racer. [Aug 2006, p.80]

PSM MagazineThe steering is a little unresponsive, and the load times are appalling, but it's still a lot of fun to tear ass and humiliate the competition in your meticulously modified rides. [Aug 2006, p.86]
PSM3 Magazine UKThe controls are a little unresponsive and it all becomes a bit painful after a while. [Sept 2006, p.84]
Official Playstation 2 Magazine UKA decent effort that, even with its excellent pimping options, struggles to provide lasting appeal in this competitive genre. [July 2006, p.93]
Play UKIt's got racing. It's got modding. It's got pretty generic racing. If you like playing dress-up with cars then you migiht like this. [Issue 141, p.107]
Juiced is an underrated gem of a racer that gives you a completely different take on the overcrowded street racing market... on the PS2. On the PSP, this core is still there, but it's so rough around the edges that it's trumped by less ambitious racers.
It's not a pick-up-and-play game and even after all the time you spend flattening the learning curve you might find that you don't really like it after all. Like racing, you win some, you lose some.
While Juiced: Eliminator's driving mechanics and track design are rather so-so and somewhat boring, its career mode setup and aspects are great, making the actual driving itself quite worthwhile.
If you absolutely need a new racing game for your portable, pick this up but do so knowing that the controls cripple the fun parts.
Eliminator improves on its PS2 predecessor. It has more modes, more customization parts, and makes for a respectable single-player experience. But the sketchy controls and oftentimes sleep-inducing levels and presentation keep it from being the king of street.
Unlike most other PSP ports of old games, Juiced is extremely thin on new and/or interesting content, leaving you with a just slightly tightened-up version of the game you might have but probably didn't play last year.
It's too bad the core driving model is so flawed, since Juiced could have been a lot more fun with either tighter handling or more spacious course designs.
Underpowered in terms of excitement, but the ride you'll get from this solid, comprehensive package is never less than decent.
The cars on the circuit, from the Dodge Viper to the Mazda RX-8, are all impressively rendered, but slide off the track at the first push of the turn right button at one of the many hairpin bends.
It's a content-packed, well-produced handheld game - they can put that on the box if they want - but the racing's a bit boring, the load-delays are too regular and too long, it's very punishing when you start getting somewhere, and the lack of online options hurts it.
The gameplay, graphics, multiplayer, sound and everything else are all okay.
A deep and enjoyable racing game but offers little to stand out from the pack.
The generic tracks and emphasis on controlled racing really drains the excitement out of the title, making it a hard sell to any but the most hardcore of tuner fans.
Despite the changes and additions, Juiced: Eliminator doesn't add much to what was a already an average street racer.
Official U.S. Playstation MagazineAn excellent game crippled by bad control. [Aug 2006, p.82]
Juiced Eliminator attempts to simulate what it's like to be a street racer, but it simply lacks the flair and excitement that other games in the genre offer.
AceGamezJuiced: Eliminator should be fun to play, but it isn't. Maybe it's the fact that you can't corner without crashing, maybe it's the fact you can't bang your car more than twice without causing serious damage and thus rendering your car useless, maybe it's the fact that once you are overtaken you will never ever catch up again, or maybe, just maybe, it's the fact that if you lose more than three races in career mode, you might as well just restart.
Juiced: Eliminator isn't bottom of the barrel, but it comes in at a distant third when the underground racing genre has already gone well into its life span, and that's not good news.

I have no answers for you, but will say a prayer right now for you guys. Stay strong.
Wow, what a nightmare. Hopefully it's over now, though, and you guys can slowly get into a normal routine. Apgar 8/9 is great, so it sounds like he made it through that crazy birth just fine. Brave little guy. And keep in mind that babies don't actually need to eat much the first couple of days. Like they say, their stomachs are the size of a marble, and you're just producing colostrum anyway, so even if he was ready to breastfeed, he wouldn't be getting much more than 5mL. That's almost all he can hold! If they need to, they can give him an IV to make sure he gets nutrition (my daughter was on one for a couple of days) and you can start pumping to establish your supply. Hopefully his digestion is fine and he was just a little overwhelmed, and you'll actually be able to start feeding him soon. And remember, even if you just can't breastfeed, it's not the end of the world. Most of us on this board weren't breastfed when we were babies, but we know our Mommas love us anyway. :-)

Poached Eggs on Crumpet
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 15 mins
I really like the way my egg yolk penertrates though my buttery crumpet. It tastes so yummy. I serve this with 1/2 dozen strawberries or cheryy tomatoes. Bacon on the side would be nice too, but I have never felt like bacon with this.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 crumpets
- 4 eggs
- 12 strawberries
- 4 tablespoons butter
- sired doneness while the crumpets are toasting.
- Poach eggs to disired doneness.
- toast crumpets.
- spread crumpets with butter and top with eggs.
- place strawberries or tomatoes on the side.
Most Helpful
I poached my egg for about 4 minutes. A little tip: swirl the water in a spiral, then slide in egg. The white will wrap around itself and keep together better. This was good. Thanks!
This is really enjoyable. I have always had my poached eggs on toast however; the crumpets work out so much better because all of the nooks and craneys soak up the egg yolk. I will definitely make this again. Made and reviewed for the July 2010 AUS/NZ Recipe Swap.
Love poached eggs but never thought to put them on a crumpet and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed though I did do just one egg, thank you djmastermum made for Name that Ingredient tag game.

Orrville Tornado: National Weather Service says EF1 tornado touched down in Wayne County
Maximum winds at 95 mph
ORRVILLE, Ohio - The National Weather Service rated the tornado that touched down south of Orrville in Wayne County.
The NWS said it was an EF1 tornado, the second lowest ranking, with winds at 95 mph. It traveled about a mile.
NewsChannel5 Chief Meteorologist Mark Johnson reported live on NewsChannel5 Wednesday afternoon that the tornado struck around 3 p.m.
Most of the damage from the tornado was centered on a house on McQuaid Road. When the funnel cloud touched down, it ripped off the roof over the bedroom and tossed it 75 yards away.
The NWS sent a crew to the site to survey the damage and determined the strength of the twister.
The residents were not home at the time, and their three pets were unharmed. No injuries were reported from the storm.
Johnson determined a tornado had struck based on spotters on the ground and video showing debris in the air as the storm struck.

Jennifer Garner in a Denim Shirt
Jennifer Garner and her daughter Violet held hands as they left a ballet class in Santa Monica, California a few days ago. We haven't seen much of Jen on the blog lately, she used to be spotted out in denim all the time, but not so much anymore. Maybe after her pregnancy, she might go back to wearing more denim.
This time she wore a dark blue denim shirt with some brown chinos and a pair of Chanel flats. I actually like this combination a lot. I'm usually not a fan of her outfits, she just dresses more for casual and comfort, which I understand as she's a hands on mum, but I still find you can be stylish as well as comfortable. This is an instance where that is true. I think denim shirts suit her! What do you think?

Jennifer Garner in Gap
Jennifer Garner was seen in Santa Monica, California with some friends while she watched her daughters Violet and Seraphina Affleck play on the beach over the weekend. She was then seen taking them home.
It's always nice to see Jennifer out doing normal and motherly things, everything about her is so casual. She showed off her baby bump in a pair of Gap jeans and a maroon coloured top. I wonder when she is due? It has to be soon! It seems like she's been pregnant for ages!

Jennifer Garner in Gap
Jennifer Garner and daughter Seraphina were seen leaving a local Whole Foods Market after doing some grocery shopping. Look how adorable Violet is! I can't believe that she just turned three. I'm anxious to see if the latest member of the Affleck family is going to be a boy or a girl!
Jennifer wore her Gap maternity jeans, with a pair of black Chanel flats and a sweater. I think Jen's style has changed a little bit, especially from her last pregnancies. She's been wearing more accessories and a few different styles/pairs of jeans. What do you think?

Jennifer Garner in Seraphine Jeans
Jennifer Garner was spotted out and about with her daughter while wearing a pair of maternity jeans from Seraphine. We haven't really posted about the brand before, but I think they look really good here!
I especially love how Jennifer paired them with the striped sweater and then added a big splash of colour with the bright red scarf. I'm not usually a fan of her style, but I have to say, in this outfit, she looks really good! Buy these jeans online in the sale for only $69!

Broadcast news: Fresh data on the habits of TV viewers trashes the idea brought up by industry execs (conference calls: DIS, CBS, NWS) that the declining number of live viewers of TV shows is a result of digital video recorders after both mediums showed generally comparable falloffs in audiences over a month-long period. A more likely reason for the strengthening trend of sagging ratings is the lure of video on demand and Internet content options.

Essay - Motivation Introduction the Theory of Motivation Has Long Been a...
The theory of motivation has long been a topic of discussion. For m*****ny years *****al theories have been utilized to improve productivity in schools and in the workplace. The purpose of the proposed study is ***** investigate work motivation.
Research Question and Hypothesis
***** research question for the proposed research is as follows:
***** ***** primary influences associated with ***** motivation feasibility, intentions, goals, the workplace environment ***** the capacity of the employer to ensure that *****se influences are present in the work environment?
***** ***** Influences ***** with work motivation tend ***** be feasibility, intentions, *****, the workplace ***** and the capacity of the employer to ensure ***** these influences are present in the work environment?
Statement of the Problem
Motivation in the workplace is an issue that impacts both large and small organizations. Employers want hire ***** reta***** productive workers and employees ***** ***** be fulfilled on the job. As such, understanding work ***** and how it is achieved ***** *****neficial to the workplace are critical components in creating a successful organization.
Preliminary Literature Review
According to Klein (1990) work motivation is a subject of ***** utmost importance ***** business managers. However, many managers find it an arduous task to determine the type of motivations employees require. In his study Klein proposed the ***** ***** of work motivation. The feasibility theory asserts there is a correl*****tion between the feasibility of a ***** ********** the motiv*****tion to perform the task. In other words, the feasibility *****ory posits that ***** motivation is dependent upon the workers access to ***** tools needed to complete the task.
***** (1999) also points out ***** resources drive performance and the successful completion of a ***** occurs or does not occur based upon the absence ***** the presence ***** proper resources.
***** the authors' proposition of the feasibility study, ***** ***** valence are the proposed variables. Feasibility represents the amount of resource units that are available and can be utilized. Valence represents the amount of resource units that are not ***** but can be made available as a result of t*****sk performance. Klein (***** utilized several motivational and behavioral ***** to explain the feasibility theory. In addition, he discussed t***** behavioral effec*****, motivational consequences and, perceptual determinants associated with ***** munificence. The *****er found a positive correlation ***** feasibility and motivation when feasibility is scarce and a negative correlation when there is an abundance of feasibility.
***** their Work Tubbs ***** Eckeberg (1991) explored the role of intentions in work motivation. According to the authors, intention ***** the primary focus of cognitive theories that are designed to understand human behavior. Additionally, ***** tends to have a central ***** in explaining motivational theory particularly as it relates to the setting of goals. Although intention is usually at the center of motiv*****ional ***** a gre*****t deal of the research concerning work motivation does not distinguish intentions from goals. ***** authors *****sert that these words are often used synonymously even though they have different definitions.

Experiment in Private Fire Protection Fails for a Westchester Village
By WILLIAM GLABERSON
Published: March 13, 1998
RYE BROOK, N.Y., March 12— Two years ago, this prosperous village in Westchester County drew national attention when it became the first municipality in the heavily unionized Northeast to hire a private company to provide fire protection.
This week, three months after a $1 million home was destroyed by a fire, there was a verdict of sorts on privatization: Rye Brook decided to part with the private company and hire its own firefighters. ''It was not a success,'' the Mayor, Salvatore M. Cresenzi, said in an interview today.
The story of Rye Brook's experiment with privatization, officials here say, is full of lessons for other communities attracted to businesses that promise efficiency in the delivery of essential services.
''I think people are going to tread very carefully on the privatization of public safety,'' said the Westchester County Executive, Andrew Spano. ''You have a responsibility to protect the citizens of your jurisdiction.''
In recent years, privatization -- the hiring of profit-making enterprises to run public services -- has been the most talked-about idea in local governments. There have been some successes, like the management of municipal sports arenas and convention centers. And there have been some notable failures, like the cancellation of contracts with a private company to run the public schools in Hartford and Baltimore.
Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani of New York City has talked about privatization, but he has yet to bring about any large-scale change in this area.
With municipalities everywhere struggling to contain costs, business executives who have promised to show political leaders how to manage such core services as fire protection have drawn special notice. When Rye Brook decided in 1996 to hire Rural Metro Corporation of Scottsdale, Ariz., to provide fire protection, the deal was presented as a test of whether the idea could work in the densely populated Northeast.
For decades, some Western cities and suburbs have used privately owned fire departments. But those areas often lack the firefighter unions and the long traditions of professional and volunteer fire departments that exist in the New York region.
Executives of Rural Metro, a publicly traded company that is the largest of a dozen private providers of fire protection in the country, had described the deal here as an experiment with national import. In a 1996 interview, Martin A. Yenawine, a company vice president, was quoted in the Central New York Business Journal as saying, ''If it can happen in the New York City area, it can happen anywhere.''
But from the start, the arrival of the profit-making company encountered resistance that sometimes included protests, threats and vandalism.
Officials here say there were many causes of Rural Metro's problems, including hostility from unionized firefighters across the New York region who conducted a campaign intended to make residents of Rye Brook fear that they were being inadequately protected by the company. There was also hostility from volunteer firefighters who saw the company as a threat to old social traditions in many small towns.
For firefighters everywhere, the arrival of the company was a fundamental threat, said Anthony Pagano, president of the Yonkers chapter of the International Association of Firefighters, a union. ''People might say, 'Maybe it's better that we go cheaper,' '' Mr. Pagano said today. ''But, you know, bean counters are counting beans, while we are fighting fires. That's dangerous to firefighters.''
Perhaps the biggest challenge to the privatization experiment was the bitter dispute that the arrangement set off between Rye Brook and the neighboring village of Port Chester. The feud aggravated old divisions between the wealthy village of Rye Brook, most of whose residents are white, and Port Chester, with its more racially diverse and blue-collar population.
Before Rye Brook decided to hire a private company, it paid Port Chester $725,000 a year to provide fire protection. The amount was almost half of Port Chester's fire budget.
Although Rye Brook officials had not expected any short-term savings with Rural Metro, they had hoped to gain a more effective firefighting service by acquiring control of firefighters and having firefighting equipment within the village.
In what Mayor Cresenzi said was an effort to sabotage the experiment here, Port Chester said it would not to respond to calls for help from the private Rye Brook firefighters.
Mayor Cresenzi said that the resistance from firefighters and the difficulties with Port Chester were obstacles to making privatization work. ''We thought it was the best for Rye Brook,'' he said bitterly. ''Other jurisdictions said, 'No way,' and they tried to undermine it and make sure it failed. That's what we were up against.''
The Port Chester fire chief, William M. Barnes, acknowledged that he was ordered by village officials not to respond to calls from Rye Brook. He said there were safety and financial reasons, but he declined to comment further. Port Chester's Mayor, Christine A. Korff, did not respond to telephone messages that were left with her secretary.

I have now found that I have a new/additional 'Events' menu on my WordPress menu bar. However .. All previous events, which were created and seen as 'posts', have disappeared from my homepage as posts and now only appear in my new 'events' menu. How do I ensure that they are BOTH?
My standard 'new post' editor no longer has an events section, so a real separatrion of 'events' from 'posts' now seems apparant with V2 & a retro step methinks.
OK, so now my events posts are in events menu, HOW do I post this new events calendar to my homepage menus as I just cant seem to see a way!
Very frustrated and now gonna try to roll back to 1.6!
