Justin Jackson played the best game of his career Wednesday night, but his polished consistency over the last month has changed the expectations of UC basketball this season.
CINCINNATI -- The evolution of Justin Jackson has been well-publicized. Through the early portion of the season his offensive game took strides. His energy funneled into useful mediums rather than wasteful moments. As a senior he'd grown into a steady complement to Sean Kilpatrick.
Despite all his improvements and discussion of reaching potential, few then could have envisioned what's happening to his game now.
He spins in the post with precision. He powers to the bucket and finishes. He passes better than any player on the Bearcats when in the low post.
The blocked shot, the dive into the stands and game defined by reckless abandon still exist. But not only is Jackson transforming from athlete to basketball player, he's turning into one that can carry the Bearcats.
He did so Wednesday.
Jackson finished with 17 points, six rebounds, five blocks, five steals and three assists. The 16 deflections charted by the UC coaching staff is the most Mick Cronin can remember during his tenure.
"Justin Jackson was as good as you can possibly be today," Cronin said. "Probably on every phase of the game. Almost impossible to have a better stat line than he had, but forth a better effort than he put forth. He's playing like one of the best big men in the country right now."
When Kilpatrick shoots 3 of 12 from the field and 1 of 7 from 3-point range against a quality opponent that refuses to give up layups, the Bearcats are supposed to lose.
Only, Jackson wouldn't let them. During a 10-0 run in the first half he affected every possession offensively and defensively. He blocked shots, he dished to Troy Caupain for a wide open 3-pointer, he grabbed boards, he made a steal and pushed the break.
He's twice been named AAC Player of the Week and by far played his best college basketball Wednesday.
Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown compared Jackson to Ben Wallace prior to the game and gave him credit for single-handedly willing the Bearcats to halftime lead after it.
Many questioned if Jackson could be a second option for Kilpatrick before the season, now this attack hums when the offense runs through him in the post.
Polished was never a word associated with Jackson the last three seasons, but now that it is his raw athleticism that left so many in awe is leaving opponents in shambles in the paint.
It all begins with his post moves. He's able to spin off to create easy layups. His explosive first step created an easy dunk against a center he gave up three inches to.
"He's got great quickness which he's always had," Cronin said of the growth of his post game. "The other thing is his added strength. His understanding, he's been extremely coachable and understanding where the help is to let us get the floor spaced and then attack and read whether he should pass it or finish. I'm Big believer added strength really helped his balance as a finisher, which has helped his confidence."
That confidence is altering the season expectations for UC basketball one game at a time.
"I saw it with Kenyon (Martin) his senior year, now it becomes a snowball effect," Cronin said. "Now he's so confident he believes nobody can guard him in the low post."
He's even delivered gold in the postgame press conference. When asked how tough the game was on his body on a night he had to leave once after knocking knees and repeatedly fell hard to the ground. He with a serious, straight face uttered a one-liner.
"I'm a machine," he said.
Indeed. And one that's powering UC basketball and himself into the national conversation.

At about 5.2 when my quad hurt and I was seriously thinking about crawling through the ditch to stay out of the wind, a song came on...something about "f$%k the pain away/out" or something like that! The timing was perfect and it made me laugh. Must have came from the cd's that zoom zoom burned for me?? I'm so not cool when it comes to knowing new music!

Location: Corn Insects and Crop Genetics Research
Project Number: 5030-22000-017-10-R
Project Type: Reimbursable Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Mar 1, 2010
End Date: Feb 27, 2014
Our first objective is to use "Next-Generation" Sequencing (NGS) on the Illumina Genome Analyzer II for ultra-deep sequencing of midgut transcripts, and detect changes in quantity and structure (mutational- and splicosomal-level) among transcripts from multiple full-sib Cry1Ab resistant and susceptible Ostrinia nubilalis larvae from backcross pedigrees. Our second objective is to describe expression differences between phenotypes, termed expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), which co-segregate with phenotypic traits. Our third objective is to use single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within eQTL transcripts as markers for genotyping full-sibs within the same backcross pedigrees as used to define eQTL.
Control measures suppress populations of larval Lepidoptera, but applications present challenges for long-term sustainability. Phenotypic plasticity within populations can form differential response of multiple genes or gene pathways to common environments and control practices. Portions of quantitative phenotypic variation within populations is attributed to differential response at the transcriptional level. As a robust microarray alternative, we will use "Next-Generation" Sequencing (NGS) by the Illumina Genome Analyzer II for ultra-deep sequencing of midgut transcripts to detect changes in quantity and structure (mutational- and splicosomal-level) among transcripts from multiple full-sib Cry1Ab resistant and susceptible Ostrinia nubilalis larvae from backcross pedigrees. Constitutive expression level changes between phenotypes, termed expression quantative trait loci (eQTL), that co-segregate with phenotypic traits will be identified. Transcript levels of genes within a gene regulatory network co-segregate, such that validation of eQTL involvement in trait determination cannot use futher expression assays. Structural changes in eQTL transcripts will be used for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker development, and markers applied to genotyping full-sibs within the same backcross pedigrees (mentioned above). Subsequent QTL analyses will test for co-segregation of genomic loci for candiate eQTL with the larval phenotype. These procedures for lepidopteran transcriptome analysis by NGS technologies include protocols for contig assembly, gene annotation, and SNP and splice variant predictions. NGS data will have added value due to analysis of different larval phenotypes segregating in pedigrees, such that eQTL will be identified. NGS application also will be achieved through validation of eQTL via QTL mapping of associated SNP loci.

Wayne County, located in the Coastal Plain region of North Carolina, was formed in 1779 from Dobbs County and named for Revolutionary War general "Mad Anthony" Wayne. Early inhabitants of the area included the Saponi and Tuscarora Indians; English and Scotch-Irish settlers later populated the region. Goldsboro-named for Maj. Mathew Tilghman Goldsborough, assistant engineer on the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad, which passed through Wayne County-was incorporated in 1847 and replaced Waynesboro as the county seat in 1850. Other Wayne County communities include Mount Olive, Walnut Creek, Seven Springs, Eureka, Pikeville, Dobbersville, and Dudley. Notable physical features of the county are the Neuse River, Quaker Neck Lake, Burden and Kelley Creeks, Sasser Millpond, Juniper and Thoroughfare Swamps, and Exum Mill Run.
Seymour Johnson Air Force Base was established on the outskirts of Goldsboro in 1942 and has exerted a great influence on the city and its environs. Wayne County historic sites include the Weil House (1875), Paramount Theatre (1868), Goldsboro City Hall (1910), and the Governor Charles B. Aycock Birthplace, a mid-nineteenth-century homestead and 1893 schoolhouse. Cultural institutions include the Paramount Center for the Performing Arts, the Community Arts Council, the Stagestruck Theatre Company, the Goldsboro Civic Ballet, and the Wayne County Museum. Mount Olive College was founded in the county in 1951. The county hosts annual events and festivals such as the Wayne Regional Agricultural Fair, North Carolina Pickle Festival at Mount Olive (home of a leading pickle-producing company, which shares the town's name), and Fremont Daffodil Festival.
Wayne County agricultural products include cucumbers, soybeans, tobacco, corn, wheat, vegetables, cotton, poultry, and swine. Manufactured products include pickles and relishes, furniture, apparel, commercial baking equipment, and electric transformers. The estimated population of Wayne County was 115,000 in 2004.

I've just joined and I hope you'll be able to help.
I would like to take a tefl certificate but am not sure: should I go for celta or tefl?
how can I get myself ready for it? I'd love to be part of a group where I can discuss problems and learn everything I need for the exam but also everthing I need - in general - to be an effective teacher.
I am sorry I am new to all this and I may sound boring...nothing new under the sun but I feel I'd rather ask the silly question than say nothing and end up being more confunsed or not good in what I am going to do.
ANY suggestion would be so very appreciated - and of course if you can share materials for me to use to study that would be massive.
Thanks so much!!!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by The Palace Artest, Jun 23, 2009.
Back in the day retooling didn't sound like a realistic strategy when it meant Terrell Brandon's backup, a skinny "tier 3" small forward that couldn't get out from underneath then player Mike Curry's binary shadow, or swaping Stackhouse for a young wiry thin unproven shooting guard whose local reporter claimed couldn't guard a pot of earl grey at a child's tea party. Not to mention [strike]losing[/strike] trading Grant Hill for Ben Wallace (who?). Or heaven forbid we ruin this team by signing that cancer Rasheed. We may have called some of those shots, but aside from Joe I don't know if anyone called them all. Have patience brother. It might look bleak, but that doesn't mean it won't work out.
Great point Walter. I find myself getting caught up in this far too often, defending Joe's acquisition of a player he is likely to never get. I'm working on that though. It's alot easier for everybody to come around on these guys once they put Pistons uniforms on. Heck, sometimes the worse they are (in the mind of the coach it is reasoned ) the bigger following they receive.
Re: You're mad as hell and just can't take it anymore.. couldn't have said it better.... great post
Re: You're mad as hell and just can't take it anymore.. sometimes the best move is the move not made.... Joe stated years ago his goal for the team was to put a team a team on the floor that would be able to challenge for the title year in and year out.... 6/7 years.... that counts... if we go another 2 years without being able to challenge for the title, then i'll truely be scared.... god think how pathetic it would be to root for the clippers....
Just wanted to say that I agree with all of lpgrl26's comments. Personally, its been a long time since I've felt this way about the Pistons. Everything appears to be up in the air as far as personnel and staff. I don't like feeling this way. Frankly, it scares me because it feels an awful lot like mediocrity is in our midst. My faith in Joe Dumars is being tested. Big time!
Lots is up in the air because Pistons cannot officially pursue FAs until July 1st. That's why all of this great unknown kind of hovers above.
Re: You're mad as hell and just can't take it anymore.. See i would be able to better understand that if he didn't hire Flip and then keep him and/or the same players when it obviously wasn't working (he wa privy to all the behind the back things that we only read about in the papers years/months later) so i'm not sure how he thought no move was the best move. People have said that the main goal was to keep the team competitive enough while saving as much money as possible which i at the time resisted b/c i truly believed in the talent of some of our bench players and thought the only piece that needed changing was the coach. . . but who knows, maybe it was; intentional or not. I just don't get whhat we are doing right now besides trying to trade everyone on the team for capspace.
Re: You're mad as hell and just can't take it anymore..

Some say he is European and other claim he played most of his ball in the United States. But I will tell you this. Capp Spayce will be the savior of the Pistons. Just watch. In Joe we trust. What an exciting day this will be when that announcement is made. Yessir. I can't wait.

Not much is known about Branew Rosta, although Hubie Brown has described him as a combination of multiple players and positions, and that he has temendous upside potential. The Pistons organisation will be counting on Branew Rosta to return them to the elite of the East in the coming seasons.
The difference is that in years past we had a feeling of the type of player(s) we might be looking for to take the team to the next level. I feel like we are perpetually one news conference away from hearing the entire team has been gutted and replaced. No clear direction is visible in my opinion. The only thing that appears to be consistent lately is the excuses.
You guys are killing me. It seems pretty obvious to me that Dumars is after a pre-eminent big (Camby, Chandler) or a serious inside presence (Boozer). Maybe a 1 year with 1 on option on Odom. Or maybe Joe goes after a younger restricted free agent like David Lee from NY. We know he wants to keep Dyess and we know Sheed is history if Dumars is serious about getting rid of drama. With Shaq in Cleveland maybe Z is suddenly a short term solution..maybe he surprises everyone but making an offer to Okur.. In any case, he needs a big "big". Does he also look for another PG? Probably depends on what kind of offers he gets that are just too good to pass up. Seems to me all those PG's that just got drafted are going to create trade some movement with guys that are already rostered. What we know we have are a decent 2, a good pg and up tempo pg, a quality 3 with some new 3/4 back-ups, a decent 4 back-up, a passable 5 (unless he bolts) another 4/5 (unless he bolts). The obvious holes are in the 4/5 spots. Whats so doggone confusing?
I'd be wary of re-signing Dyess considering that he and Sheed are so tight. You know how persuasive Sheed can be (look at where he led Billups!) and I'd hate to see these guys screw things up now that the Pistons have the back end of their bench settled.
Exactly. All people are doing right now is speculating what they think Joe will do, and if his past few moves have been any indication, no one knows WTH Joe is thinking. Also i have to question when guys like Lee,Turkey, etc because big FA'a we should be after. Are we a defensive team? Are we an offensive team? Who knows. Joe says defensive, then looks for offensive players. He says tough then drafts a player who's knock is that he's soft. We are not set at PG (Stuckey's struggles have highlighted that). We have an SG and an SF that we are rumoured to be trading for capspace. We have no starting and no starting 5 unless KB/Max do it for you. We have so many holes, and so far the only thing we seem to clearly want is as much cap space as possible irregardless of a weak players avaliable and no shot a LBJ in 2010. It's not exaxtly a clear path.
I agree, but watch your spelling Missy Miss. That's Capp Spayce.
LOL sorry. You should get that copyrighted.
Thaaaaaaannk YOU SIR!
I'm here for Darth Tater. And for Lee. ....Okay Scoe, I like you too..... Very well put. Are you telling me that last year's experiment with Curry didn't convince you that Flip wasn't such a bad choice after all? I got it! That describes about 29 out of 30 teams in the league. [SIGN]Don't panic[/SIGN]
[sign]I'm totally freaking out......[/sign]
You really know how to hurt a guy...don't you?
You should highlight the space underneath that statement with your mouse. It's touching....and beautiful. I almost wanted to cry.

NorCal vs. SoCal
Arguing for S.F.: Josh Sens (San Francisco magazine's restaurant critic since 2002). Comparing the food scenes in San Francisco and Los Angeles isn't like comparing apples and oranges. It's like pitting handpicked Fujis against plastic fruit. A really, really big bowl of plastic fruit. Give L.A. some credit. A good ethnic joint is rarely farther than a 2-hour drive through traffic. We've heard the tired knocks against us, that we're snobs, smugly celebrating our seasonal supremacy. But consider this: When asked their reasons for visiting San Francisco, 94 percent of domestic travelers choose "dining out." And what's our largest feeder market? You guessed it: Los Angeles. So when you tire of your TMZ-stalked celebrity dens (where, think about it, no one really eats), come north. A revolution began here, and we remain in the vanguard, led by the ranks of the country's most imaginative chefs. We'll hook you up.
Arguing for L.A.: Jonathan Gold (restaurant critic for L.A. Weekly and a Pulitzer Prize winner). The Bay Area thinks we're the black hole of civilization. We think San Francisco is a nice place to spend a weekend. But as the Bay Area restaurant scene, sputtering along on the fumes of Chez Panisse's glory days, shudders through its mannerist phase, nourishing its populace on beet boudin noir, bicycle-delivered coppa from a woolly pig named Al (he was a Virgo), and pizzas topped with nettles gathered by Carthusian monks under a waxing gibbous moon, Los Angeles cooking roars through its own glory days; the vitality of its great agricultural region expressed through the great multicultural mosaic.

At Discovery Centres we don't just receive enquiries that seek information from the museum. We also have intriguing information passed onto us by members of the public that helps with our research and further fills out the background stories surrounding our collections.
This is one such gem, a poem about Phar Lap entitled Phar Lap comes home, which we received from a lovely lady in Bendigo whose brother sent it to her over 50 years ago. She was hoping it would be of interest to us and that we might be able to use it:
Where the thoroughbred immortalsGraze in pastures evergreen, And the steeds of song and story Feel the touch of hands unseen.There's a whining [whinny] in the distance and a pawing at the gateAs the big stout hearted Phar Lap Joins the legion of the great.
Where the horses famed are rangingOver acres rich and fineAnd the coats of turfdom's monarchsIn the brilliant sunlight shineThere's a snorting in the shadowsAnd a pricking up of earsAnother racing stalwartOn the borderline appears.
In the thoroughbred ValhallaWhere the bravest hearted goAnd there aren't any seasonsWhen the blue grass doesn't growWhere's there no fierce grind of trainingAnd no further stakes to winThere's a stirring in the paddock As another canters in.
In the paradise of horse fleshWhere the gamest of the gameFrolic through an endless summerDone with glory and with fameWhere no barriers spring upwardsAnd no turmoil fills the airCarbine, Redleap and BrovoTurn and see the "Red Flash" there.
Up beyond the eyes of mortalsWhere there is no muddy trackWhere there are no gruelling stretch runsAnd no added weight to packWhere the kings of far flung ovalsPlay and scamper as they willThere's a neighing as the great heartedPhar Lap gallops on the hill.Where there are no culls or "cast offs"And no spineless "also rans"Where the horses have a recordTreasured by the racing fansThere's a pawing and a neighingWhere the lion hearted roamAnd a whining [whinnying] of welcomePhar Lap "big Red" has come home.
Many poems were written about Big Red after his death, including a number in the Museum Victoria Phar Lap Collection. But a quick internet search revealed only a couple examples of this particular poem online, which have slightly different details. One person commented on the Cyberhorse Forum that it was published in the New York Sun after Phar Lap's death but, even after searching historic Australian newspapers online via Trove, I still didn't come up with any further information. As more resources are digitised we might find out more about this and perhaps even who wrote it. Can anyone out there shed any further light on the poem?
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

'Defenseman Rhett Warrener and forward Chris Gratton accepted qualifying offers from the Buffalo Sabres and agreed to one-year deals Wednesday. Defenseman Brian Campbell, who spent part of last season in the minors, also accepted his offer.'
Archives for July 2002
Warrener, Gratton re-sign with Sabres
Sabres re-sign C Gratton, Ds Warrener, Campbell
'The Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday re-signed center Chris Gratton and defensemen Rhett Warrener and Brian Campbell. Terms were not disclosed.'
Gratton expects to ink new deal today
'Chris Gratton would like to negotiate a multi-year contract with the Buffalo Sabres. However, the 27-year-old from Brantford expects to sign a $2-million US, one-year qualifying offer from the Sabres today.'
Connolly accepts qualifier
'The young center on Tuesday agreed to accept the Buffalo Sabres' qualifying offer of one season at about $1.128 million. The salary figure is a 10 percent raise over the $1.025 he made in 2001-02.'
Rigas leaves fans to pick up the bag in disgraceful Sabres exit
'You can promise, and deliver, honest value for honest pay and treat the people you deal with and who work for you the way you hope to be treated. Or you can go around trying to screw everybody. From most accounts, John Rigas built his empire the first way. The way most older, up-by-the-bootstraps entrepreneurs go about it. But he made three mistakes. He fathered sons. He sent them to Wharton and Harvard to learn the second management strategy. Then he gave them the keys.'
Connolly accepts Sabres' qualifying offer
'The contract gives Connolly a 10 percent raise over the $1.025 million he made last season.'
Afinogenov ready to hold out after rejecting Sabres' offer
'Asked by the Russian Sport-Express newspaper whether he might open the season with the Mocow team, Afinogenov said it all depends: "So far, my agent and the club haven't come even close.'
Bettman pleas to fans
'Interestingly, many thought that Hamister was the leading candidate. But according to sources close to the situation, it appears that Basin has now taken the lead in completing a deal for the Sabres.'
NHL teams may hit rock bottom prices soon
'The commissioner has tried mightily to distance the value of the club from the Rigas meltdown at Adelphia. But with criminal charges and a Securities and Exchange investigation still pending, that will be little comfort to prospective buyers who are being asked to cough up $100 million (U.S.) for the club. Expect the NHL to carry the Sabres for a while longer while it gets the Rigas flu out of its system.'
Uncertainty taking its toll on Sabres
'That lack of success on the ice, coupled with the ownership issue, has done nothing to help the team sell season tickets this summer. Katzman reports Canadian renewals are at 82 per cent while U.S. renewals are at 78 per cent. Last season, Canadians accounted for about 1,000 of the Sabres 8,400 season tickets. The league average for season tickets is in the 10,500 range.'
Excalibur excursions share the fun of fishing
'Two Buffalo Sabres and the Excalibur Leisure Skills boat helped five impaired kids enjoy a slice of life as they took a fishing trip around Buffalo Harbor recently.'
Off Main Street
'The chant started quietly but was quickly audible about 50 feet away.
"No goal! No goal! No goal!" We're not sure the commish heard it, though one sports staffer said Bettman could have responded with a taunt of his own: "No team! No team! No team!"'
Arniel back in Buffalo, will be assistant to Ruff
'"I've done a lot of interviews, and I've talked about a lot of things I can bring to the table. That's why I've been offered the job in Buffalo. For me, to go back to Buffalo, an area my family really enjoyed and wants to be a part of, it's a nice situation."'
Buffalo Sabres Hire Scott Arniel as Assistant to Lindy Ruff
'A second-round draft pick by Winnipeg in 1981, Arniel played 11 NHL seasons with Winnipeg, Buffalo and Boston. He had 149 goals and 189 assists in 730 games.'
Bettman tries to ease fears in Buffalo
'While pleading with fans and sponsors to get behind the team, Bettman stressed that fans need not worry where money spent on the Sabres might end up. "The money that you spend in support of this club is not going to Adelphia and is not going to the Rigases," Bettman said. "All of the money will go to the operations of the Sabres. I want to assure people that your support of the franchise stays with the franchise."'

Dr. Neve Gordon of Ben-Gurion University made himself the center of hate by publishing a story in the Los Angeles Times that blasted Jewish liberals and social activists for inaction in the face of discrimination against Arabs in their society as well as in Palestine. He argued that Israel has become an apartheid state in which Jews obtain economic, social and political rewards, while Arabs have become second-class citizens. Gordon noted how Israel academics become furious when anyone from the "outside" makes comparisons to apartheid and sounds the clarion cry of "anti-semitism."
The school year open in Gaza and children will be without notebooks, books to use in studying, lacking pens, and working with teachers in buildings that were wrecked by IDF bombing raids. Is any Israel university organizing drives to secure school materials for Gaza students? Hundreds of Palestinian students in the West Bank are in jails because they belonged to the wrong student organization. Where are the voices of freedom for "college students?"
Examine the history of social justice in any Western society and the names of Jews are present. Jews, historically, fought for the rights of the oppressed, check pictures of marches by Martin Luther King and you will note the presence of rabbis.
Which Israel rabbis today march for Palestinian rights? Which academic leaders defend the rights of Palestinian students?


text: I thought there was a general thread for prayer requests, but I couldn't find it. So apologies if I missed it. I just wanted to ask for prayers for my dad; he's been sick for the last month or so, and was admitted to the hospital about two weeks ago now. We thought it was just the flu, but then it progressed to being pneumonia. Then it was double pneumonia AND an infected aortic valve. He had valve replacement surgery yesterday, which was successful, but the surgeon found that his whole heart is infected. We got a call from the surgeon after surgery was over that we should be prepared for the worst, on account of how bad the infection is. He said my dad is fighting hard, and I'll never be so grateful for his stubborn nature as I will be through this experience. I drove home from school to be here for the surgery yesterday, and I've gotten to see him a few times. He looked a lot better this morning and he was awake and responsive. But I'm just here to ask for prayers, because he really needs them. Thank you.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks all! I am definitely going out to enjoy myself on any terrain I encounter there. I am not obsessed with doing blacks, but I feel like at some point I need to start getting used to it. Thanks for the apres vous and casper lift advice. It was my plan on using apres vous and spend a day of double blues before I think of running down any blacks.
i went to my local ski hill the other day after a foot of snow had fallen last week and practiced on all their "blacks" (probably double blues out west). I practiced quick pivot turns on both of my boards and the easiest way I felt like i was leaning forward was to crouch lower to move the COG over the center of the board and pseudo-bounce and unweight right before the next pivot. it seemed to work well since i could feel how much easier it was to swing my back leg around.
I got more pivot turns in on the smaller board, but the bigger board I felt the sidecut bite in better on my carves. The only issue I had was a couple of wash outs on both boards on steeper terrain because I can't stop the chattering on my heelside speed checks. Still can't loosen up my knees across the chop and ruts and I bounce around instead of absorb. The only way to stop without washing out was to try to round out and carve back up the hill on the heelside but it was hard to do without full sidecut engagement because of the ruts and valleys i would cross. Not getting this down is going to kill my tailbone (at least 220lbs is better than 280lbs)!
Agree with Grafta, if there are things holding you back, work on those before you worry about the colour runs you're doing. Once you're technique is dialed you won't even look at trail maps or run designations again!
Lessons are your friend. Bending knees is your friend. Work on carving and being REALLY comfortable on blues before you head for steeper stuff. Heelsliding down steep terrain should be an evacuation procedure, not a method of boarding down the hill!
For progressing to blacks I'd start out on Hanna and St. John's off of the Apres Vous lift to get your form down and get comfortable. JH has excellent grooming on the AV side so you'll be able to focus on your riding (if you get there early it's wall to wall perfect cord). Both those runs are double blues and are the steepest intermediate runs on that side of the mountain.
If those runs sketch you out I'd say just have fun and try to get the fundamentals down. Casper lift has the easiest blues on the mountain.
I'd defenately watch a video on dynamic turns. Focus how the riders in the videos bend their knees and stick out their butt. It would be hard to be in a "C" shape if your are crouched down more with weight over your front foot. Also pointing your back knee out on heelside turns should help get some wight on the front.
Check the morning grooming report to see what they've groomed, they usually will have a few black runs groomed every day.
Ranger off of the Gondola and Bivoac off of Sublett Chair are the easiest blacks IMO when you're ready
Totally agree with Grafta on placing emphasis on having fun. It's good to progress your skills but dont put too much pressure on yourself to ride blacks just for the sake of it. JH has tons of spots for intermediates to enjoy.
That said, there are double blues (dotted lines on the trail maps) you can try out. Laramie Bowl looks scary on entrance at the top but once you get down a bit, it's just hard work of the fun sort. Since it's ungroomed, recommended trying it if it's powdery or mash potatoes sunny.
As for technique on steeper runs, learn to trust leaning forward on your front foot - think of it like a pivot point. You'll find that pivot allows the back of the board to wash around much easier. Seems counter intuitive but it works like magic!
Either get a lesson, or at least watch some of the vids here > http://www.snowboardingforum.com/tip...ons-video.html
Sounds like you should chill on wanting to hit the steep shit, and just get your technique down. Don't sweat feeling like you 'have' to 'do blacks'. Just ride and have a good time
Blue to Black Transitioning at Jackson Hole
Hi all,
This is my first post after years of lurking! I need some help transitioning, so here's my story...
I have two traditional camber boards; a 167 2008 Flow Solitude (freeride board) and a 159 2008 Flow Infinite (all mountain). I weigh 220 now (was 282 with the solitude) and am 5'11". I only get a few days in a year, and the last time I went snowboarding was in Taos in March 2012 and at Big Sky during February in 2011, both at 280lbs. Haven't yet ridden at my new weight which I am anxious about. Will be going to Jackson this February.
This year I hope to start doing blacks at Jackson (at least by the end of the trip). So a couple of things:
1) What's the easiest black to start out on out there?
2) Having some technique issues with learning forward on steeper runs, and leaning back in powder (i think the 60lbs I lost will help with that hopefully). I know I can adjust my bindings to help, but I think it's a mental thing. I find myself in a c-shape posture (upper body over the front and hips over the back) and it makes my front leg straighten out enough that I don't feel control in my turns. Tricks to overcome?
3) I'm finding that I am not loose in my legs at high speeds so when I try to stop heelside, I chatter and skid out on my butt. How do I loosen up my lower body to absorb the bumps at high speed while keeping control?
4) Only taking one board. Which one for what I want to do?
5) Any other tips anyone can offer to help me out.
Thanks everyone!

Can you live 28 years without discovering you're a witch?
Lauren is downtown Chicago's youngest elite realtor. She's also a witch. She must be - the fetching spell for Witches' Chat isn't supposed to make mistakes. So says the woman who coded the spell, at least.
The tall, dark, and handsome guy sent to assess her is a witch too (and no, that doesn't end the way you might think). What he finds in Lauren will change lives, mess with a perfectly good career, and require lots of ice cream therapy.
A Modern Witch is a full-length novel, 81,000 words.
The next two books in the series, A Hidden Witch and A Reckless Witch, are coming soon to audio.>
Debora Geary is working on several more audiobooks expected out in 2012, if the kids don't spill any more water on her laptop.

"Perfect antidote for vampire & zombie overdoses"
Don't get me wrong: I like fantasies with vampires and zombies and things that go bump in the night. But it is possible (at least for me) to get too much of a good thing. I just finished rereading almost the entire Dresden files in one huge gulp, and I was feeling like I wanted something entirely different--something NOT written by a man. And because they were having a 3 for 2 sale, I ran across this book.
Boy, am I glad I did. It's still fantasy. There are witches with varying powers, but no bad guys. Not even a hint that bad guys might exist. So if there are no bad guys, what is the book about? It's about love. Not romantic love (or only peripherally), but love of friends, of family, and children. And it's about learning and growing. Since the editorial review gives this away, I can tell you that the main character is a 28-year-old woman who finds out she is a witch, which she had never before suspected. And there's a lot to learn about being a witch.
Years ago, I read and enjoyed many of Nora Roberts's witch stories. They were fun books, but although these witches were supposedly very powerful, they never seemed to do much with their powers. Grow a few flowers, make up some lotion or shampoo, levitate a doubting romantic prospect--that was about it. I wondered, at first, if this book was going to be the same, but as the story advanced, these witches Did things with their power. Important things. I like that.
A word about the narrator. I've never listened to anything narrated by Martha Harmon Pardee before, but I really liked her way with this story. Very laid back and gentle.
As I am writing this review, the next book in the series is downloading to my computer. I highly recommend this book.
"I'm not baby crazy enough for this"
If you are a Modern Witch I hope your life goals are to be married and pregnant, because that is what Modern Witches do according to this book.
I'm like, 3 hours in and so far there isn't even a hint of romance but there is a lot of talk about babies and family and even some gross in utero stuff. Seriously though babies, toddlers, babies, children, babies.
So I guess what I'm saying is if you're a single child free 30 year old whose parents are nagging you and you are already over it, DON"T READ THIS BOOK. It's like the book your Grandma wants you to read so you get pregnant already geeze. (And it kind of feels like grandma is reading it to you too.)
I might be able to overlook all the babies, and the fairly boring characters if there were some kind of conflict or overarching danger but right now, there is none. The biggest conflict is some internal whining on the part of the main character. No one even seems worried that normal people will find out about witches. Everything is just hunky dory.
On top of all of that 3 hours in and I've already encountered 3 casual factual inaccuracies that have just made me feel annoyed.
1. Chicago airports have taxi stands, and taxi lines. You rarely have to stand around and wait and if you do you wont be alone.
2. No Chicagoan would forget their coat in February, they'd be more likely to remember it in June.
3. February is not a busy time for a realtor. It is one of the slower times of year.
It's not that these are big deal things, but they are small inaccuracies that took me out of what story there was to speak of. This story is set in the real world, these are just weird things to get wrong.
Save your credit or your cash.
"Chick lit with a touch of fantasy"
A Modern Witch was entertaining at best and confusing at worst. The narrator tried her best to make chat conversations understandable without calling the name of the character before every statement. The story was light and consentrated on relationships and characters. There was a lot of repetition, and, in my opinion, underestimating the reader. For a light listen, this was good, but the listeners should not put their hopes too high.

"A fun book ruined by overly cutesy narration"
This novel is a lightweight but fun entry into the surging genre of supernatural chick lit. There is a little explanation of how magic works, and a very relatable heroine falls in with some very nice people with some super cute kids. The novel itself is a sweet, fizzy diversion that could be a nice break for a busy gal.
However, this audiobook really grated on me. The narrator had the syncopated delivery of someone telling you an inside joke - imagine the voice over for a commercial for International Delight instant coffee, or a commercial for some household product that features a busy mom managing to get her house clean despite the antics of her cute, rambunctious kids. That kind of delivery is fine for a 30 second ad (or maybe not fine, depending on your point of view), but it is nails on chalkboard to listen to for almost ten hours. Not to mention that there are some scenes in the book that call for a sweet but serious touch that feel disrespected by the narrator.
In short, if you feel like a nice little novel, get the dead tree version.
"Boring, shallow, and so predictable"
My favorite books are always the ones that catch my interest in the first chapter or two. This books still didn't have my interest after 3 hours when I finally turned it off. It was poorly written, and the problem was compounded by a bad narrator. All the women, except for Aunt Myrna, sounded the same. And the narrator sounded overly perky about everything. Ms. Pardee would do best in self help books for self esteem and confidence boosts.
There was nothing in the characters personalities to distinguish one from another. I found, after 3 hours, that the author had done nothing to make you identify or sympathize with any of the people in the story. No motivation to care about the characters, and no situations to keep you listening to the end. This author and narrator have definitely moved to the top of my 'avoid at all costs' list.
... And what was up with the annoying click clack of typewriter keys between every scene? Wow.
"Loved everything about this book!"
To sum it up, the book is filled with warm fluffies. Definitely a chick-book! The book was lighthearted and fun. Discovering that you are a witch really messes with your brain. But again, I loved the book because of the love between the families, especially between parents and their children. I will definitely listen to the second book.
Short fuse
"Boring, yet irritating! Unable to finish"
No, merely the author
No. She reads as if she is a very elderly schoolteacher with an audience of extremely young children.Ugh!
Annoyance at being duped.
Nauseatingly "nice" and sickly sweet, and nothing interesting happens, at least up to the point where I threw the iPod across the room in a fury.
Screenwriter, director, parent, wife, AVID reader, and Audible addict.
"Can somebody magic up a plot line?"
Great info about witchery, but set in a story that lacks essential conflicts and dramatic action. Very very talky, and the reader takes on a sugary sweet narration style that makes this book nearly impossible to listen to.
There was no plot, no climax to the story. No character flaws in ANY of the characters! It was a perfect world.
Probably not
Probably not. She could've been reading to 1st graders.
This book would be fine for tweens. Definitely not a book for adults.
I never write reviews. I can find something enjoyable in most books. This book was "flat". There were no conflicts of any kind. Everyone was friendly and happy. The children in the book were all geniuses, with no jealousy or rebellious tendencies.. nothing! It's very strange that this book got such great reviews but adult readers.
"Very slow and the narrator was irritating"
I couldn't even finish this book. The narrator sounded like she was reading to children!! It was a chore just to listen for a few minutes at a time. I kept hoping it would get better since this is the type of book I usually like and actually did listen to half of it but couldn't take the condescending irritatingly "sweet" narrator.
"Delightful audiobook"
This series is such a lovely find. This book is warm and full of love and humour. Highly recommended!
I was a bit skeptical of this book at first. I found some of the "effects" like the typing sound every time the characters enter their chat room to be very dated and grating. But I soon got drawn into the characters and story and forgave the minor flaws.
"Needs a good Spell to make it better!"
A less predictable and saccharine plot may have helped.
Not a lot to be honest
Perhaps a different narrator may have helped a tad.
Disappointment - waste of money & time. Shame as this is the only book and I have got quite a few downloaded that have made me feel this way.
"A feel good listen."
One of the nicest books I have listened to. Full of happiness and joy. With the narrators voice also full of laughter and emotion.
All of it really several really sensitive moments and chapters.
The four year old mini witch boy was my favorite character.
The time that Lauren visited a special school and found a way forward for the autistic boy.
I enjoyed the Supernatural aspect but that was about it. The story was boring. Not nearly enough action or story.
Motherly comforting ok
"Geeky Witches - What's Not to Like?"
This book had me hooked already within the first five minutes, when I discovered that at least some witches in this universe wrote witching spells using computer code! As an IT consultant myself, this was something that immediately appealed to me and I fell instantly in love.
Fortunately the rest of the book more than lived up to my expectations. Granted, it doesn't have the most complex or innovative plot, but it's just a genuinely pleasant book. I loved the characters, and their antics had me laughing out loud so often that my husband started wondering what was up. I fell in love over and over with each new situation, and found myself tearing up from their happiness more than once.
This is a true comfort book, and I have a hard time remembering when I've last fallen THIS hard for a new book. It's an instant favourite.
"Great women's easy listen - with magic!"
I have read the book a number of times, but this audio version, with great voices that the narrator makes different for each character, has made me see some conversations in a different way and really appreciate the nuances of the story. I have listened to it twice already and have now bought all of Debora Geary's books on kindle and on audio (can't wait for the rest to be released on audiobook) as they are a wonderful "feel-good" read!
"A very pleasant suprise"
Loved this storyline , such a great original plot narrated very well by Martha. Will be buying the next book

Yeah, it's a damn conspiracy theory. Great job on pointing it out, though!
The Illuminati. Sure, you might have heard it about it before. Seen it in books or on the web. Even in movies (Angels & Demons). But are they really portraying what the Illuminati really is? Is the Illuminati what celebrities hint at in their interviews? Is it what singers symbolize in their photos and music videos?
For instance, take a look at this video of an interview with Dave Chappelle.
Why is it that Dave Chappelle was forced to wear a dress like all of the black actors? Even without the same crew for different movies, why is it that it is still forced upon them?
"Selling my soul"
Sometimes when you hear an interview, you may hear them say something such as "Sold my soul.." Or "Sold my soul to the devil". They all seem to share the same phrase for the treatment they get from the darker side of Hollywood.
Katy Perry
Bob Dylan
Michael Jackson and the Illuminati
Michael Jackson was constantly under fire from the Illuminati and other behind-the-scenes controllers of pop culture during his life. His controversial reputation of 'pedophilia' was pressed upon him by them, as he explains in several interviews. He tells interviewers about how they constantly harass him and torture him. In this next video, he tells the audience at a concert in 2002 about the bad company of Sony Music.
It's hard to ignore - the symbolism is everywhere.
With many popular bands and pop idols, they use excessive amounts of Illuminati symbolism. It's no coincidence - why would all these bands have illuminated pyramids, covered up eyes, and accented left eyes in their photos and videos?
Lady GaGa is a major puppet for the Illuminati; With all of her fans which she calls "monsters", who knows how many people she could influence with her personality and persuasion. It's not hard to see what she is trying to portray with her pictures.
Also compare these next two pictures
There's tons more stuff to see, but don't let me tell you. This guy is a pro at deciphering Illuminist symbolism in pop culture as well as finding out other things that go in the dark in our society.

Arsène Wenger tweaked his tactics for Saturday's 2-1 victory, deploying Nicklas Bendtner as a lone striker while a fifth midfielder - Abou Diaby - operated in an advanced role when Arsenal had the ball but added ballast to the central areas when they lost possession.
Wenger has enjoyed success with a 4-5-1 formation before. Freddie Ljungberg played behind Thierry Henry during Arsenal's run to the 2006 Champions League Final, Alex Hleb flourished behind a solitary front man last season and Diaby filled the same role with distinction at Fenerbahce last month.
The absence of Emmanuel Adebayor and Robin van Persie forced Wenger's hand to some extent at the weekend but the Frenchman revealed that he could persevere with the formation even when his two top scorers return.
"I will use it again because going forward we have scored many goals but defensively we have conceded too many from outside the box," explained Wenger.
"I don't know [about what will happen when all the strikers are back]. I took this decision because I tried to balance the team with the players that were available."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

We were terribly disappointed with the way the items were packed into the box this time. They were just thrown in without even bother to arrange the items. As a result, many of the Gerber food packs (pear and prunes) were badly dented. Some care should have been taken to pack all the items.

Dr. Jon Taylor is professor and chair of the Department of Political Science. In addition to his teaching and research in political science and public administration, he is an international lecturer and expert on comparing and contrasting China's public ethics to American public ethics.
Could you please share with us the role ethics plays in your teaching and research?
As for the role of teaching/research/service in Political Science, and, more specifically, Public Administration, I would say that all three are central to my discipline -- as they are in all academic disciplines. That said, it is the implicit mission of both Political Science and Public Administration to support discipline-specific education and the professional development of its practitioners. Ethics is a basic component of that professional development. Like all other disciplines, teaching is a vital component of our discipline, hence Political Science/Public Administration's emphasis on generating a greater understanding of cutting-edge approaches, techniques, and methodologies that can be effectively applied in the classroom. In addition, research -- be it theoretical or applied on the part of both faculty and students -- provides a robust skills-set that students can and have applied in a wide range of career areas: public service, law, business, international organizations, nonprofit associations, organizations to campaign management, polling, journalism, pre-collegiate education, electoral politics, research and university and college teaching. We have graduates from our B.A. and MLA-Political Science and MLA-Public Administration who, coincidentally, are in all of these career areas.
What classes do you teach that include ethics?
I teach POSC 3373 Public Administration Ethics about every year or so. In addition, both J.P. Faletta and I incorporate an ethics component into POSC 3300 Research Methods and POSC 3301 Statistics for Political Science. There is an ethics component in a number of my Public Administration courses: POSC 3338 Internet and Politics, POSC 3354 Emergency Management, POSC 3357 Public Policy Analysis, POSC 3371 Public Administration, POSC 3372 Public Personnel Administration, and POSC 3376 Public Budgeting and Finance. In this respect, it is a happy coincidence that both UST and the American Society for Public Administration both strongly encourage ethics teaching, research, and service. This emphasis on ethics has had a spillover effect in the Department of Political Science, where an ethics component exists in a number of courses: Public Opinion, Political Theory, Administrative Law, Mock Trial and Senior Thesis. The following is a compilation of book chapters, journal articles, and conference papers directly related to ethics or discuss at length ethical issues in Political Science or Public Administration:
Service and ethics: For over a decade I have regularly given public administration ethics presentations in Houston to Chinese local government, provincial government, and State-Owned Enterprise officials. I also have given presentations in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Tianjin, and Beijing during the past seven years. I gave an invited lecture to the Zhejiang Province Communist Party School in 2008. I'm a member of the American Society for Public Administration's Section on Public Administration Ethics. Additionally, I sat on UST's Human Subjects Committee from 1999 - 2003.
Please share with us the source of your interest in China.
While most may find China unfathomable, unappealing, or even a bit scary, I find it fascinating, hence why I devote much of my current research to the study of ethics and corruption in China and the Communist Party of China. I currently have three conference papers in preparation, a paper submitted for journal review, and two conference papers to be presented in Shanghai in December that are all devoted to some aspect of anti-corruption efforts and ethics in China. One might ask: why not research American public ethics? The answer is quite simple: I enjoy using the U.S. as a comparison since the U.S. is an ethics leader. My China ethics discussions, lectures, and research don't exist in a vacuum. They directly compare and contrast China's public ethics to American public ethics, with all of our foibles and successes.

Great extension, just one problem
Left key is not working while holding the space and up key together!
The right key works fine.
It's a problem wherever in windows (extension has nothing to do with it), but you can use the wasd-keys.
Sorry for my English.
It's a hardware limitation actually. The keyboard simply can't detect properly some key combinations so they are outright ignored.

Nice Job , But it has a little problem, that you can bring more than one arrow in page, when you play the game you can use the arrow again to bring you another and both of them shots , you can do it for infinity .
This was actually done on purpose. I debated whether or not to limit it to one ship at a time, but in the end I figured I'd just let people do what they want. Playing with several ships at once isn't really that useful I think, but if you want to you can!
I think this is not a problem too =))

I have a P85 MkII and the only difference I can remember was that the P85 has a safety that rotates 90 degrees and the P89 only rotates 45 degrees. There may be other, smaller changes but these are the only ones I can think of offhand.
Always wondered - the P85 was a 9mm when it was made, and so is the P89. What is the difference between the 2? They look almost alike...

Difference tween a P-89 and a P-85??? Is this a trick question??? 4!
Good one...... ThunderOriginally Posted by Thunderhawk
I believe the P89 has a decocker and the frame is aluminum & the older P85 does not have a de~cock and is a steel frame...
Secretary bought her husband a P89 a few months back and I'm 1% sure it was an all steel gun.

Well, hell.......maybe I was havin' a bad day! Give a guy a break. At least I gave myself a little slack.Originally Posted by rustycompass
Hey Bro,
Jus' busting your chops :smt003 .....actually ya might be right.... because theres more that one P89, there's a few. I just knew the P89"D" is alummy cuz I have one.
The P85 and P89 only came with aluminum frames. I know that the P89 could have either a manual safety that decocked, or decock only. I will have to check on the P85, I think you could get it both ways also.
Here is my Guess on the difference between the p85 & p89. Right after they recalled all of the P85s they started to make the p89. The p89 incorporated the change they made to fix the p85. The p85's that were fixed in the recall are stamped mk11. To avoid confusion and stigma of a recall, they changed the name to p89. The problem that had to do with the decock and firing pin block.
I still have my p85 and when the recall happened they were really good about taking of me for the trouble. I will probably never part with it.
Well for my first post here I hope I didn't give out wrong information.
Didn't they also make the "take down lever" thinner and captive on the P89?
Not sure about the lever but it is fairly thin on the P-85. They might have changed that as well. I know they started making them thinner just not sure when they started doing it.
Maybe they changed it when it was still the P85. I had one of the earliest models and it stuck out aways... Also, it was not captive.
white-night is closest to right!!! ( Hey, I'm a poet and didn't even know it!! )
Ruger received complaints that the P85's barrels were below par accuracy-wise, the safety/decock levers were too small, and there were rumors of broken firing pins.... The upgraded version ( with fixes ) was the P85 MkII. The P85 Mk II.
Also, from an Article in shooting TimesThat should 'bout cover it......The slide stop on the original P85 was positioned below the bottom edge of the slide, and its wide, grooved thumb-engagement surface extended backward above approximately a third of the depth of left-side grip panel. The current slide stop sits notably higher on the gun with its thumb-engagement surface well above the top of the frame and angled inward over the frames beefy top shoulder, almost even with the bottom of the manual safety lever. And it extends about a quarter-inch less far back. The reasons for the design change were to streamline the guns profile and to reduce the amount of the slide stops outward protrusion, which was found to cause a bit of drag and resistance with some holster designs.
Barrel manufacturing design has also improved. Original P85 barrels were of two-piece construction with the barrel and the square breechblock pressed together and then welded. It was a time-consuming and expensive manufacturing process. Current barrels are cast one-piece with broached bores.
Also notably better than the original is current P-Series trigger pull quality due to internal changes in the sear/trigger engagements linkages and parts configuration. The sear pivot pin has been reduced in size from original models, and the trigger bar has been thickened and the hammer-spring seat pin has been enlarged. The new mechanism also involves a bearing and slave pin to hold the sear-blocker lever spring assembly together as a coherent unit. The overall result is a distinct smoothing of the trigger pull due to the bearings considerable reduction of friction in the sear assemblys operation.
Safety function is always critical to all Ruger designs. A substantial improvement was introduced with the P89 group of guns that modified the position of the firing pin when locked in the Safe position. The change eliminated the possibility of any transfer of energy from the hammer to the firing pin during the decocking procedure, which ensures the safety of the pistol even in the rare event of a broken firing pin. This modification was undertaken after it was discovered that with the original P85 safety design a broken firing pin could possibly become positioned such that depressing the safety/decock lever might strike the broken end of the pin in such a way as to cause the gun to fire. The new design eliminates this possibility, and Ruger has widely advertised an offer to provide a free factory safety modification to the owner of any P85 pistol made between 1987 and 1990 who wants the same new feature incorporated into his gun. If you have a Ruger P85 from those years and have not done it already, I recommend you call Ruger at 800-424-1886 and make arrangements to return your gun, even though no injuries have resulted from an older broken firing pin.
This is all true Aluminum frame and a decocker SA/DA

Teachers Union: We're Disconnected From Our Members
posted at 7:58 pm on January 21, 2014 by Mike Antonucci
In the wake of persistent membership losses, the National Education Association began a review of its organizational structure in an effort to improve efficiency and cut costs. Part of the project included a survey of NEA's board of directors, state affiliate officers, Representative Assembly delegates and rank-and-file members.
The survey response rate itself suggested a problem. Thirty-eight percent of those holding an elected position responded, but only 10 percent of the rank-and-file did so. Since part of the survey sought to gauge member involvement, NEA was not off to a roaring start.
Each answer was analyzed in aggregate as well as within the governance level to which each respondent belonged. The first consensus was "NEA's governance structure is too large and cumbersome to be effective." A number of respondents referred to the union as "top-heavy" and disconnected from rank-and-file members. Even within the top levels of the organization, some leaders expressed a desire to remove levels of governance, or reduce the size of representative bodies.
Few members of each group said that the work of any level of the union's governance structure was "relevant to their work as an educator." Coupled with that was a desire for NEA to focus more on education issues and less on everything else. Even when education was the main topic, many at every level felt that the annual Representative Assembly (RA) and the board meetings did not spend enough time on business and spent too much time on ceremony.
The results of the governance review might result in less frequent RAs, or a smaller board of directors, or any number of other internal structural changes, but NEA's greatest challenge is how (or whether) it deals with its relative irrelevance to the daily lives of its members.
To illustrate, the union asked the rank-and-file members whether they had contact with a union representative in the past year. Three-quarters had met at least once with a local building rep and 60 percent had contact with a local affiliate board member. But very few members had any contact whatsoever from a union rep above the local level.
More than 60 percent had zero contact with the state affiliate board, more than 70 percent had zero contact with an RA delegate, and more than 80 percent had zero contact with a member of the NEA board of directors.
The middle statistic is the most significant. There are anywhere from 7,000 to 9,000 delegates that attend the annual convention, and boast about being "the world's largest democratic deliberative body." In practical terms, the RA cannot be very democratic or deliberative if it never hears from three-quarters of its constituents.
But it is difficult to generate outrage on behalf of the rank-and-file, since they seem to be perfectly content – especially the younger members – with their lack of contact with NEA at any level. This is causing much consternation at NEA, but not much among young teachers.
The most involved NEA activists are much older than the rank-and-file members. When asked to explain why so few young members attend the RA, state affiliate leaders had remarkably similar answers:
Alaska: "Many younger members don't know about RA, and don't understand the association."
Arizona: "They are often unaware of the RA or NEA as parent group, and they are not sought out to run/attend."
California: "Some members do not know what NEA does and some don't even know that they are NEA members!"
Colorado: "Most of our members including those under 35 do not have any idea that RA exists let alone how to be elected as a delegate."
Montana: "Awareness about the NEA RA amongst younger members is low."
New York: "[Little] knowledge of what the RA does/why it matters."
In addition to these reasons, many affiliates noted that many older delegates go every year and don't step aside for others to take their place – or, to be more accurate, to allow their funding to attend the RA to go to someone else. One state affiliate stated that the younger members "have little name recognition and are not likely to be elected if they run."
Both supporters and opponents of the teachers' unions should learn from this. Ordinary teachers and rank-and-file members should not be criticized for the actions of their union, nor should they be expected to defend those actions. Chances are they haven't a clue what the union above the local level is up to. At the same time, the unions can't use ordinary teachers and rank-and-file members as a shield against criticism of the union's actions. Very little of NEA's agenda was created by popular demand, or even created with popular knowledge.
What comes out of NEA headquarters is owned by the people inside that building. We should all keep that in mind when determining how to respond.

GunnersGaming by Betsson, Arsenal's Official Betting Partner, give us the rundown on some of the markets on offer ahead of Wednesday's return to European action against Marseille...
Wednesday sees the Gunners take on a Marseille side who find themselves in a similar situation. Despite slow starts in their respective domestic competitions both have begun their European campaigns strongly and will be hoping that form continues as they battle for qualification to the knockout stages.
Marseille's impressive 3-0 home defeat of Borussia Dortmund is a reminder of just how tough an assignment a trip to the Stade Velodrome can be.
Neither side will want to give any ground away in the battle to qualify for the latter stages, with Arsène Wenger having already outlined the importance of the game to his side's qualification hopes.
The Arsenal manager has targeted four points from the two fixtures against the French outfit, which he believes should be enough to see the Gunners progress. So with Arsenal looking for at least a draw from the away fixture, and Marseille expected to adopt a counter-attacking style, perhaps a scoring draw at 7/2 (4.50) could offer good value.
While an away draw would certainly be a favourable result, perhaps after Sunday's win and Robin van Persie's goalscoring heroics the Arsenal faithful might allow themselves to contemplate the idea of sneaking all three points. A 2-1 win is available at 15/2 (8.5).
Or what about the Gunners coming back from being behind at half time to win, available at 44/1 (45.0)?
GunnersGaming would like to wish the team all the best in Marseille. If you're new to GunnersGaming.com there is no better time to get started. We will refund your first three non-winning bets (up to the value of £25) and double your first deposit in the casino (up to the value of £200).

I will graduate soon with an English Language & Linguistics degree. A CELTA course + teaching EFL is really appealing to me. However I'm a little concerned with the available jobs in London (moving abroad is an option, but not at the moment). I've found a list of schools in London that teach EFL, but I'm just curious about (a) the demand of EFL teachers in this country (b) the pay (is it the same as working in a state school?) and (c) the longevity of teaching EFL because there seems to be a lot of part-time teachers, is this because there is not a 'strong need' for them? This worries me as I am hoping to make a career out of this.
Thanks for your time!!
