Another penalty shoot-out; another giant falls. A day after Argentina went out of the Copa America to Uruguay, holders Brazil also crashed out last night, beaten 2-0 in a shoot-out by Paraguay after a 0-0 draw in their quarter-final in La Plata .
This was a psychological breakdown of staggering proportions, the first four Brazilian takers all failing from the spot. Elano and Andre Santos blasted over, Thiago Silva saw his shot saved by the excellent Justo Villar and when Fred stepped up needing to score, he dragged the ball wide of the left-hand post.
Brazil were more proactive than they had been in the group game against Paraguay, when they drew 2-2, and the Paraguay left-winger Marcelo Estigarribia was far less threatening when faced with Maicon rather than Dani Alves. However, it was still far from the sparkling Brazil of myth and expectation.
Their frustrations spilled over shortly before half-time in extra-time, a mass brawl breaking out after Wigan's Antolin Alcaraz had responded to Lucio's meaty challenge on Estigarribia with a meatier one of his own. Alcaraz and Liverpool's Lucas Leiva were sent off, although it was hard to see that their raised arms were any more aggressive than those of half a dozen other players.
Paraguay themselves were far less adventurous than they had been in the group stage. The result was a rather less engaging game than a week ago, consisting largely of Brazil pounding on a Paraguayan door that, with a little luck and some inspired goalkeeping from Villar, remained closed. The goalkeeper made a superb block in the first half to keep out a Lucio volley and dived low to his left to palm away a drive form the largely ineffective Paulo Henrique Ganso. Neymar wasted two good early chances in the second half and Fred had a header cleared off the line by Edgar Barreto; that was more than enough opportunities to have won the game, but there was little fluency to Brazil.
Meanwhile, the Argentina coach, Sergio Batista, refused to resign after his side lost 5-4 on penalties to Uruguay, Carlos Tevez missing the vital kick, following a 1-1 draw in Santa Fe. "It never went through my head to resign," Batista said. "I signed my contract five months ago, and I must keep working. The balance [of the side] was not what we'd have liked, but it takes time and hard work."

Ambiguity in the Small and in the Large
This paper considers local and global multiple-prior representations of ambiguity for preferences that are (i) monotonic, (ii) Bernoullian, i.e. admit an affine utility representation when restricted to constant acts, and (iii) locally Lipschitz continuous. We do not require either Certainty Independence or Uncertainty Aversion. We show that the set of priors identified by Ghirardato, Maccheroni, and Marinacci (2004)'s 'unambiguous preference' relation can be characterized as a union of Clarke differentials. We then introduce a behavioral notion of 'locally better deviation' at an act, and show that it characterizes the Clarke differential of the preference representation at that act. These results suggest that the priors identified by these preference statements are directly related to (local) optimizing behavior.

Choosing a Vacation Home Location That Appeals to Short-Term Renters
That out-of-the-way gem may be too far away for would-be customers.
If you're considering buying a vacation home that will also earn income from short-term rentals, you'll have to think about more than your own desires. The best location for you isn't necessarily the one that will best attract short-term renters.
For example, if the home well off the beaten track, no one may have even heard of the place, much less think to search for a vacation rental there.
Here's what else to consider in choosing your likely location:
- Local vacation rental rates. Get a copy of the local newspaper and look at the available vacation rentals comparable to the size and type of house that you're interested in. This will help you gauge what your competitors are charging and whether you'll likely be able to charge enough to cover your costs. Keep in mind that many vacation rentals have varying rates depending on the time of year. It's best to look at rental rates during the high and low season and create an average. Have your agent find out when the rental rates change and what these rates are. You can also ask other landlords in the area. Also, realize that all houses in a given area aren't created equal: For example, a house that's walkable to the beach will rent for more than an equivalent one that's a two-minute drive away. Of course, that house will also cost you more to buy.
- Which way rental rates are headed. Your snapshot view won't tell you whether you can raise your asking rent next year — or might have to lower it. Find out the average amount by which local vacation rents have increased or decreased over the last five or so years. (You'll need to know this when you calculate your cash flow.) Your best bet is to contact a local property management company or ask a real estate agent who also handles property management in the area. You can also call the local newspaper and request back issues from previous years so you can search through the classifieds. And keep your eye on the local and national news, too. Rents on vacation properties can shift up or down considerably based on the state of the national and local economy. When the economy is down, vacations are among the first nonnecessities that people cut.
- Vacancy rates. Usually expressed as a percentage, this tells you how many months out of the season you can expect to have your place sit empty (for example, because the beach is too windy to stroll on in winter, or the ski season lasts only a few months). A strong vacation rental market would have a vacancy rate of 10% or lower during the peak season. Ask your real estate agent for the median vacancy rates during the peak and off-peak seasons.
- Surrounding activities. Aside from the main attraction drawing prospective renters — a lake, mountain, golf course, or whatever — it helps if your location supports auxiliary activities such as dining out; visiting art galleries or antique shops; renting DVD s; shopping for food, forgotten toothbrushes, and souvenirs; and so on. Make sure these are within a reasonable driving distance (usually 20 minutes or less).
- Crime rate. High crime will deter vacation renters. Criminal activity also adds to your headaches as a landlord, since you'll have to think about security measures, what to warn your tenants about, and so forth.
If you're considering a vacation rental in an area you've already stayed in, you know about some of the above considerations. If not, you'll want to do some in-depth research, and try taking a few trips to the area as a renter before you commit to buying.

An international study has suggested that having a hobby can give older people a greater purpose later on in life, which could have a positive impact on their health. 1
The study, which was carried out by a combination of British and US universities, found that those who reported a greater sense of purpose in life were generally healthier and lived for longer than those who claimed to have little purpose.
The study could not prove hobbies directly affect your chances of living for longer however, especially with other more recognised causes of ill health to be considered too. That said, it did add to the link between health and mental wellbeing.
The study found that the relationship appeared to go both ways, with unhappy people developing illnesses, while ill people could become unhappy. The latter was certainly found to be prevalent amongst those with typical ageing illnesses, such as heart disease and arthritis.
This study was interesting, and it does back up the importance of us remaining both physically and mentally active as we age. Eating well and having a healthy lifestyle is also important, as is keeping up social activities and interactions.

The Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has thrown down the gauntlet to Kevin Rudd, challenging him to fight her for the Labor Party leadership and top political office in a ballot next Monday.
Ms Gillard laid her job on the line after Mr Rudd, whom she deposed in mid-2010, resigned as foreign minister and declared his former deputy incapable of winning another election. And with the long-simmering enmity between the pair finally out in the open, senior ministers lined up yesterday to stick the knife in.
Although Mr Rudd has yet to declare himself a candidate in the leadership ballot, few doubt that he will run. And while the Prime Minister is believed to be well ahead in numbers – the pair are vying for the votes of 103 Labor MPs and senators – her predecessor, who is considerably more popular with voters, is attempting to harness "people power".
As Mr Rudd flew home yesterday from Washington, where he announced his shock resignation, his wife, Therese Rein, and daughter, Jessica Rudd, urged voters to make themselves heard. "Tweet something," said Ms Rudd. "Rant on Facebook. Put a video on YouTube ... Have a chat with your neighbour. Tell your friends. Email your local MP … Call your local radio station."
Several ministers declared their support for Mr Rudd but they were outnumbered by former colleagues who had harsh words about his character, leadership style and record in government. Mr Rudd made many enemies during his nearly three years as prime minister.
He and the Treasurer, Wayne Swan, were once good friends. Yesterday Mr Swan called him "deeply flawed". He added: "The party has given Kevin Rudd all the opportunities in the world, and he wasted them with his dysfunctional decision-making and his deeply demeaning attitude towards other people."
After months of denying any ill-feeling between her and Mr Rudd, Ms Gillard – liberated by the eruption of hostilities into the open – also let swing. She accused him of sabotating the 2010 election campaign, which saw her struggle to regain power, and of waging a "long-running destabilisation campaign".
She also, for the first time, hinted at the reasons why she deposed him in a lightning coup. The government, she said, had become paralysed, with Mr Rudd – who "always had very difficult and very chaotic work patterns" – focused on "the next news cycle, the next picture opportunity".
The spectacle of Labor imploding has filled the conservative opposition, which is far ahead in the opinion polls, with glee. "I've never witnessed, and I'm sure nobody else has witnessed, the kind of vitriol and animosity that's pouring out of senior cabinet ministers against each other," said Julie Bishop, the deputy Liberal Party leader.
It seems unlikely that Mr Rudd will manage to dislodge the Prime Minister on Monday. Already there is talk of a "two-step" strategy that would see him lose the ballot, take his place on the backbenches, then plot another challenge at a more propitious moment. The strategy worked for the former Labor Prime Minister, Paul Keating, who ousted Bob Hawke in 1991.
This time round, Mr Rudd's best hope lies in appealing to the self-interest of MPs, particularly those in marginal electorates. For, as Peter Hartcher, political editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, wrote yesterday, dozens of them "face an electoral wipe-out under Gillard".
Ultimately, Mr Hartcher noted, "the question for MPs will be one that millions of Australian workers face daily: would I rather keep my job under a boss I don't like, or face unemployment?"

There is nothing better than a bacon and egg taco from Taco Cabana when I come home. So delicious, and cheap!
We arrived into New Braunfels Tx, pretty late at night, so we looked for a place to go grab something to eat. Unfortunately the closest place to us that was open, happened to be taco cabana. I have ate at a lot of fast food places, but none of them as dirty as this place. We ordered our food, and...
Sunday morning to go order did not meet expectations. Ordered 2 Barbacoa tacos that besides lacking taste, the amount of meat provided was maybe 2 bites. Also did not provide any condiments to go with taco. At $2.29 each you expect more. A picture attached tells sad story
My family and I grabbed a few bean and cheese tacos with queso while on the go. The tacos were warm with plenty of filling, and the queso was steaming. The service was very fast and remarkably friendly considering this is a fast food place. We will definitely be back to this location.
Went through the drive through and ordered breakfast tacos. When I got home
(about 2 miles away) discovered the tacos were cold, tortillas not fresh, and 2
of the 3 hot sauce containers were empty. I have been there before with no
problems, but it only takes one bad visit to lose my business.
I realize it was a Friday evening, but never EVER before have we had to stand in a line almost out the door to be served in any Taco Cabana. Finally, after placing our order we waited over 20 minutes to get our food...and it was COLD and congealed. Stay away from this particular location!!!!
A couple of breakfast tacos, several big cups of diet Dr Pepper = a good breakfast, in my not so humble opinion! This is a great chain--I wish we had them in Kansas. The atmosphere is always upbeat with fast music, the tables are clean, and they always have a clean area outside to eat, with no smoking, even outside!...
The food was fresh and hot. The flavor was wonderful. There wasn't a long line and everything looked clean.
The food is average, but always consistent. So if you are in need of something quick, relatively tasty and for a small price this is for you.
Liked the salsas, tacos seemed a little week. Seemed pretty busy for the time of day. Wife had chorizo/ egg taco but was pretty greasy. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

We have a similar situation here, though, not as bad as you described
because no one is turned away from our MG program unless they pose some
sort of security threat. You may have to wait for an opening, get on a
list, but when your name comes up, it is your choice to take the class
or wait until the next year (depends if you are available for the hours
it is taught that yr)
In Ft Wayne we have a group called the conservateers, that volunteer
through the Botanical Conservatory. It's a more genteel group, sometimes
snooty, and they conduct all their activities during the day, weekdays
when working people can't come (except some Sat activites for children)
There is some crossover of people belonging to both MGs and
Conservateers, but not much. And when the Cs have their annual garden
walk they ask MGs to man the gardens to answer qestions. I don't know if
it's because they don't have enough of their own people or because they
can't answer the questions. They do seem to be more the tea party type -
those that have their gardens tended for them. The MGs are mostly more
an 'earthy' group, though we do have our orchid specialists, etc.
The Cs also have access to space in a city greenhouse and conduct a huge
fundraiser in the spring. They can bring in $25000 in a day and run it
for several days, while the MGs only bring in about $3000 for each of 4
sales. The Cs efforts are better known because they are affiliated with
the city. MGs have to beg for any publicity.

Soya - Information about Soy and Soya Products
Soy milk powderSoy milk powder is soy milk from which all water has been removed, similar to cow's milk powder. Soy milk powder has a white to beige colour and mixes readily with warm or cold water. It can be made of plain soy milk or can contain additional ingredients, such as sugar, flavours and calcium.
While it is not as common as cow's milk powder, soy milk powder can be found in some stores in the US. In Europe it is even more difficult to find, but can be easily ordered online. Popular brands of soy milk powder, which can be ordered online, are NOW Instant Soy Milk Powder and EcoMIL Instant Soya Drink Powder.
Benefits of soy milk powderSoy milk powder contains all the good ingredients of soy milk. There are different reasons why you would buy soy milk powder instead of pre-packaged soy milk:
- Soy milk powder is more environmental friendly.
- Soy milk powder is easier to store and does not spoil. When you go on holiday and are not sure about the availability of soy milk at your destination, you can carry some soy milk powder with you.
- Usually, soy milk powder is less expensive than pre-packaged soy milk brands.
Disadvantages of soy milk powderThe taste of soy milk made from soy milk powder will always be a bit inferior compared to commercial soy milk in cartons. The texture may be slightly sandy and the taste a bit bran like.

Rob - 14/02/2014
Soy milk powderI buy soy milk powder from Now Foods. It is pure soy milk powder, so no added salt, sugars, thickeners or flavours. If you make milk from it, of course the taste is not that good than store-bought soy milk, but that is not a problem beacuse I mainly use it in recipes. And for Marion, it would be ideal to take on holiday.

How can I prepare a good soya milk powder?You could dry soya milk in the oven at 150°C, but the result will be a brownish hard cake. Soya milk powder is industrially made in very large drying tower where the soya milk is sprayed in very small droplets at the top. As these droplets slowly fall down the water evaporates by the hot air, leaving fine particles of powdered soya milk solids.

- Sheena murder case: No proof Indrani Mukerjea tried to kill Mikhail, says defence
MUMBAI: The defence told the sessions court that charges against Indrani Mukerjea for attempt to murder cannot be framed as there is no evidence barring apprehensions expressed by the alleged intended victim, son Mikhail Bora. Indrani, her husband Peter Mukerjea and ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna are accused of murdering her daughter Sheena Bora on the night of April 24, 2012. Sheena was Indrani's daughter from a previous relationship and engaged to Peter's son, Rahul Mukerjea.Driver Shyamvar Rai, who was also an accused in the case, has now turned approver. Mikhail, in his statement made part of the third char gesheet, had said that on the night April 24, 2012, after being summoned from Guwahati by Indrani, while at the Mukerjea's apartment at Marlow Building Worli, he noticed that Khanna, Rai and his mother were not behaving normally. "They were forcing me to eat and drink. I was apprehensive that they were planning to kill me too after sedating me with some poisonous substance," he told the CBI. However, defence advocate Sudeep Pasbola submitted that the charge under IPC section 307 requires some act."Apprehension of murdering someone is not 307. Giving Mikhail a drink does not amount to attempt to murder. He was not even hospitalized because of the drinks. I would understand if he was poisoned, admitted in hospital, stomach washed and then poison removed that that could constitute to attempt to murder," he said. The defence also said in the absence of any charges levelled against Indrani's assistant Kajal Sharma, a witness in the case, no charges relating to forgery and cheating can be framed against her.
- Review: The absurd carnival of Mikhail Bakhtin
First, it was the title of the play that intrigued thoroughly — Bakhtin Bakhtin. Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975) was a Russian philosopher and literary critic who was discussed and evaluated only by a niche academia. I was keen to see how Bakhtin's philosophies were dealt with in popular culture. The attempt itself is valiant. Bakhtin Bakhtin is a difficult play. Not only because of the subject matter, but also in the way director Goutam Sarkar has interwoven aspects of the philosopher's ideas like dialogy, chronotope or carnivalesque. In the play, the protagonist, Bakhtin, lives on Sitaram Ghosh Street. He encounters a corpse of a woman who fell from the sky near Medical College. Bakhtin fights away the canines that hound the corpse. But cops take the body away to the morgue. Bakhtin falls in love with the corpse and names her Anamika. The play deals with Bakhtin's dialogue with the corpse, his interpretation of modern-day language or the death of it, and his relation with his exploiters, called the maliks (owners). Bakhtin also heads an orchestra called Carnival. The orchestra demonstrates different kinds of communication events through songs, dances and recitals. These performances often tend to be anti-authority and sabotaging, in accordance with the Bakhtin doctrine. But the show falters. The playwright (Chiranjib Basu) tries to include all the theoretical aspects of a philosopher's work in a one-hour play. It's tiring. The play reminds us of the anti-novel genre of Subimal Misra. However, when Misra argues in favour of absurdity, theory and rhetoric do not overwhelm the aesthetics in their art. This, however, is not true for Bakhtin Bakhtin. Also the performances of the actors are tiring sometimes. Maybe the burden of theory overwhelms some of the actors. Sometimes they overtly express a character's emotion and sometimes they whisper — so much so that it became difficult to hear at the back. However, the concluding poem (written by the playwright) and the play's music (Dron Acharya) is fantastic. Having said this, the play also deserves kudos. In an era when easy reads and readymade films and plays are the fad, the playwright and the director dare to challenge the convention through a non-linear form and plot without a central idea. The play compels the spectator to think. Perhaps this is the main achievement of Bakhtin Bakhtin.
- Mikhail Gorbachev today: Reviled, revered, and still challenging Russia to evolve
MOSCOW: In recent months, various prominent public figures, including at least one close associate of President Vladimir Putin, have insisted that Russia officially proclaim Mikhail S Gorbachev a criminal for abetting the collapse of the Soviet Union. Some regularly demand that Gorbachev be put on trial for the events, not least, as one member of parliament put it, to expose the operations of a "fifth column" within Russia. Yet when the organizers of Gorbachev's 85th birthday extravaganza in March approached the landmark Hotel Ukraine about a banquet, its owners refused payment after they learned that it was the former leader being honored. "They said that without Gorbachev they would have ended up as small merchants in the market, criminals dealing in contraband," said Alexei Venediktov, a close friend and the editor-in-chief of the radio station Echo of Moscow, the main news outlet for liberal Russians. "They said: 'Now we are the owners of all this thanks to Gorbachev! Not a kopeck!'" In an interview, Gorbachev shrugged off the fact that 25 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, he remains among the most reviled men in Russia. "It is freedom of expression," he said. Yet the official line denigrating traditional democracy, combined with the very idea that he should face trial, obviously irks him, so he churns out articles, essays and books about the need to enhance freedom in Russia. His latest effort, called "The New Russia" in English, was released in the United States in late May. There is also great admiration for him among Russians too, of course. Some adore him for introducing perestroika, or restructuring, combined with glasnost, or openness, which together helped to jettison the worst repressions of the communist system. Gorbachev led the way, albeit haltingly, toward free speech, free enterprise and open borders. "Some love him for bringing freedom, and others loathe him for bringing freedom," said Dmitri Muratov, the editor of Novaya Gazeta, one of the few remaining independent newspapers and one in which Gorbachev holds a 10 percent stake. The society at large blames him for losing the Soviet empire and leaving them citizens of a second-class country, even if individuals recognize that he opened new horizons for them and their children. "The society doesn't like him; he is the anti-Putin," Venediktov said. "Putin is the constructor and he is the deconstructor." He called that perception unfair. In the interview, Gorbachev said, "I keep saying that Russia needs more democracy." The hourlong interview took place at his shrinking foundation, where his office is dominated by an oil painting of his wife, Raisa, who died of leukemia in 1999. "We hear, even from people close to Putin, statements that emphasize authoritarianism, that emphasize decisiveness and that suggest that democracy can only be achieved far into the future," Gorbachev said. "I think if democracy is firmly rooted, if it is based on elections, if people have the chance to elect leaders at regular intervals, I think that is what we need. That is the basis for stability in foreign and domestic policy." In his twilight years, Gorbachev has become an isolated figure. Most of his contemporaries are dead. He is just critical enough about the lack of democracy under Putin that state-run television channels avoid him. His death has been announced more than once. Gorbachev does not fault Putin directly for the lack of democracy in Russia, although he was more critical of the president when his book was released in Russia last year. "He began suffering from the same disease from which I used to suffer: self-assuredness," Gorbachev said at the time. "He considers himself deputy-God, I don't know for what matters, though." He and others listed several reasons for muting his criticism. First, Gorbachev enjoys no immunity from prosecution, and hence like many government critics, feels increasingly uneasy as the Kremlin chips away at civil liberties. He said he feared being declared a "foreign agent," a revived Stalinist label that basically means "spy," and that is now being used to shutter dozens of civil society organizations. "There are quite a few reactionary-minded people in this country who are already declaring me a foreign agent — they think that I am working for someone," he said. It is quite a statement from a man, who if he had changed nothing, might still be the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, as previous leaders tended to rule for life. Second, he casts most of the political and economic ills plaguing Russia as the legacy of his hated archrival, former President Boris Yeltsin, giving Putin a pass as a necessary correction. Third, he agrees with Putin on many issues, particularly foreign policy. He supported Moscow grabbing back Crimea, for example, calling the public referendum legitimate — despite its being held at gunpoint. That stance just got him barred from Ukraine for five years. As the man most responsible for ending the Cold War, Gorbachev feels betrayed that the West — and the United States, in particular — played the victor and treated Russia like a dismissed serf, bringing NATO forces and the European Union to its very borders. "There was a mood of triumphalism at the end of the Cold War that was shared by many Americans," he said. "That was the point of departure for the collapse of everything." He parts company with Putin on domestic issues, however, even if he keeps Yeltsin in the foreground. Gorbachev and Yeltsin were longtime rivals who delighted in humiliating each other. Gorbachev gives grudging respect to Yeltsin for intervening to stop the coup that sought to overthrow his presidency in 1991, but low marks for the rest of his chaotic tenure, which gave democracy a bad name in Russia. "I still don't understand why Yeltsin is regarded as a hero in the United States, when he was an authoritarian," Gorbachev said in his most emotional display, slapping his hand on his desk. Gorbachev travels little now, dividing his time between his office and a dacha outside Moscow. He calls the death of Raisa his "greatest loss." He is heavier, and his famous birthmark is less prominent. Despite occasional hospital visits, he still downs vodka with friends. Muratov said they often recounted the same joke, based on Gorbachev's infamous campaign to lower alcohol consumption: Two men are standing in a long, long vodka line prompted by the limited supply. One asks the other to keep his place in line, because he wants to go over the Kremlin to punch Gorbachev in the face for his anti-alcohol policy. He comes back many hours later and his friend asks him if he had indeed punched Gorbachev. "No," the man answered despondently. "The line at the Kremlin was even longer." Various people among the 300 guests at his March birthday party offered toasts to Gorbachev. The ambassadors of the United States, Germany, France and Israel all commended him separately for making the world a more peaceful, stable place. One editor from Echo of Moscow radio, Sergei Buntman, gave an ironic toast saying that Gorbachev had wrecked everyone's quiet existence. Venediktov would be an esteemed schoolteacher instead of the controversial head of a popular radio station, Buntman said, while Putin would be a respected KGB lieutenant colonel rather than a target of critics worldwide. "You ruined our lives," the editor joked.
- Sheena Bora's brother Mikhail in the Bigg Boss house
Sheena Bora's brother Mikhail is seen as a contestant in the second season of Bigg Boss Bangla. Mikhail, who was apprehensive about entering the Bigg Boss, gave his nod after much coaxing. The Sheena Bora murder case was one of the biggest controversies that rocked the country last year.
- Mikhail killed Sheena, I was only shielding him, Indrani Mukerjea told Peter in jail
Indrani Mukerjea was in denial after her arrest in August last year on the charge of murdering her daughter, Sheena Bora. So much so that when Peter Mukerjea met her in jail, the only time he would do so, she reportedly told him: "I have been framed. I didn't do it. Mikhail did it. I only disposed of the body." The snatch of conversation occurred at Byculla jail in October and Peter was stunned by the web of lies.

Jump into the Sky
As Levi makes his way across the United States, he learns hard lessons about the way a black boy is treated in the Jim Crow South. And when he arrives at his destination, his struggles are far from over. The war may be ending, but his father's secret mission is just beginning—and it's more dangerous than anybody imagined. . . .
Shelley Pearsall has created an unforgettable character in Levi and gives readers a remarkable tour of 1945 America through his eyes. Jump into the Sky is a tour de force of historical fiction from a writer at the very top of her game.
1. Fifth of May
Whenever something bad happened, my aunt Odella was always quick to say how the end of one thing was the beginning of something else. During the war, she cooked for a lot of church funerals, where any comforting morsels of wisdom you could hand out to grieving folks with a plate of fried chicken...
Booklist Best of Children's Books 2012
Starred Review, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, October 2012:
"Levi's voice—humorous and acutely insightful—perfectly captures the viewpoint of a resilient young man whose feet sting from his first harsh landing in the adult world. Fans of Christopher Paul Curtis will fall right into line."
Starred Review, Booklist, September 15, 2012:
"This poignant, powerful tale of father and son getting to know each other in small, delicate steps is suffused with Levi's yearning for approval. Strong characterizations on all sides support the weighty story line."
From the Hardcover edition.

Bethesda Outreach Ministries was born out of a desire to show compassion to children in Africa who had been orphaned as a result of HIV/AIDS. The desire resulted in a survey trip being made to Africa in May of 2000 by a group from Evangelical Baptist Missions (EBM).
South Africa was chosen as the place in which to build a children's village, and property was purchased north of Pretoria in Hammanskraal. In October of 2000, Bethesda Outreach Ministries became a South African company, incorporated under Section 21. In January and February of 2003, Bethesda obtained status as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization and our first houseparent couple moved onto the property and began caring for children. Currently, there are six Bethesda families caring for orphan children within the children's village.
Due to some zoning issues, a different piece of property was purchased in June of 2003 on which to build the Bethesda Children's Village. Bethesda's Orphan Care Development Ministry was begun in 2004, with the purpose of providing teaching, training resources, and education support to those in the surrounding churches and communities who wish to gain expertise in caring for orphans within their area.
In January 2005, Bethesda's Jabulane Christian Academy began operating on the property and now accommodates over 140 students from Grade R (Kindergarten) through Grade 7. Our school is open to the community as well as providing quality education to our own Bethesda children.
In August of 2011, our office in the USA, Bethesda Outreach Ministry International, Inc. became an official 510c3 company.
We are confident that Bethesda Outreach Ministries is in God's sovereign and all-powerful hands. The vital work here continues to move ahead as God provides the necessary financial and human resources. Village plans are steadily progressing toward the goal of having a village complete with child-care homes, educational facilities, recreational and multi-purpose facilities, and administrative facilities. To God be the glory…great things He has done.

Digging Through the Archive
Over the years, Let's Play Math! blog has grown into a sprawling mess of 960+ posts, pages, and handouts. It gets harder every year to find the particular activity or game you're looking for.
I write primarily about math, but I have other interests as well, and sometimes those sneak through onto the blog — a bit of fiction, some Shakespeare, and of course, stories about my kids.
A couple years back, I put together the following lists of my top 10 (more or less) favorite blog posts from each category. I've written many new posts since then, but these oldies are still good reading.

Algebra, geometry, pre-calculus and more… I don't tend to write as much about high school math, because my kids are mostly independent learners by that stage. They also take classes at the local community college, which gives them a few grades on their transcripts from somebody other than Mom. (Mom is a tough grader!)

My Thoughts on Teaching Math
Many teachers are concerned about the amount of material they must cover in a course. One cynic suggested a formula: since, he said, students on the average remember only about 40% of what you tell them, the thing to do is to cram into each course 250% of what you hope will stick.

The noise surrounding the death of Aaron Swartz is not abating. Four days after the Internet campaigner's body was found in his Brooklyn apartment, Columbia law school professor and Free Press campaigner Tim Wu wrote a blog post for the New Yorker magazine accusing the U.S. legal system of having failed the young man. He noted that back in the 1970s, future Apple cofounders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak hacked the AT&T phone system to make free calls. Wu noted that had the two been prosecuted in the same way Swartz was, "we might never have had Apple computers." "The great ones," he writes, "almost always operate at the edge."
Swartz's lawyer, Elliot Peters, told the Huffington Post that U.S. prosecutors wanted the 26-year-old's scalp. According to Peters, Stephen Heymann, the assistant U.S. attorney, was threatening Swartz with a longer prison sentence if he didn't accept his plea deal offers. Heymann's philosophy, according to Peters, was that "the closer [you got] to trial, the plea offers only got worse. But the offer he was making was so unreasonable that having it get worse didn't concern me much." Buzzfeed is reporting that Heymann may have contributed to the death of another hacker, Jonathan James, back in 2008. Heymann's boss, Carmen Ortiz, also received criticism from the Daily Beast. On Monday, the Justice Department dropped their charges against Swartz.
Swartz's funeral, due to take place in Chicago later today, could be the scene of a confrontation. Members of hackers group Anonymous have launched Operation Angel, or #OpAngel, to prevent members of the Westboro Baptist Church, who have said they will picket the computer programmer's funeral, from disturbing the service.
