Clinic Students Present Before Inter-American Court of Human Rights in Mexico City
(Pictured: Diana Navas, International Human Rights Law Clinic Director Richard Wilson, and Jacqueline Zamarripa)
The Inter-American Court of Human Rights invited the law school's International Human Rights Law Clinic to present a written submission on unaccompanied migrant youth detained in the United States. The proceedings were held in Mexico City, October 9-10.
The Clinic has been involved with this issue since 2011, when several states presented to the Secretariat of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, requesting an advisory opinion "to determine the precise obligations of the States in relation to the possible measures to be adopted regarding children, their immigration status, or the status of their parents."
At the time, student attorneys Anna Maitland and Regina Verret worked alongside three NGOs to submit a brief commending U.S. efforts in providing social services for migrant youth, but requested improvements in detention conditions and in guaranteeing their due process rights. Current student attorneys, Diana Navas (3L) and Jacqueline Zamarripa (3L), then attended the public hearing this October on behalf of the three NGO's to present the submission.

While in Mexico, the Navas and Zamarripa observed the States' presentations on the first day of the advisory proceedings and presented on the second day, alongside several NGO's, academic institutions, and individual petitioners.
"Presenting before the Inter-American Court was an invaluable experience outside the classroom, and as a law student pursuing a career in children's advocacy, it was amazing to be a part of such a monumental effort in protecting and advocating for children's rights throughout the Americas," said Zamaripa. "There is no doubt that this experience has made me a stronger advocate for children and I cannot wait for the Court to publish its Advisory Opinion."
"I felt that my law school career had come full circle," said Navas. "To find myself, as a 3L, presenting to the honorable judges at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights was an incredibly humbling and rewarding experience. The advisory proceedings brought together a phenomenal group of State and NGO representatives committed to protecting the rights of migrant children. I am excited and honored to be joining this community of advocates as I begin my career as a human rights attorney."

The cross-talk between family and pediatrician: The case of bronchial asthma

Cross-Talk; Bronchial Asthma; Children
Vol.5 No.2A,
the most important challenge facing the pediatrician is the increasing
prevalence of chronic diseases. With this regard, pediatricians play a key role
in the management of these conditions. The closeness with the family, the
knowledge of the clinical case and the care continuity allow the pediatrician
to acquire a position of director of every case. When pathological events have
a chronic feature, suddenly the quality of life of the whole family changes.
For this reason the first communication of chronic disease is very important and
the task of the pediatrician should be to provide a positive message to help
the family in facing the difficulty of this new challenge. The bronchial asthma
is the most common chronic disease worldwide. The incidence, the prevalence,
and the mortality of the disease have increased in children over the past
decades. These trends are particularly marked above all in preschool children. The
success reached by Pediatricians is closely related to the compliance and the implementation
of the therapy followed by the little patient and his family. With this regard
authors, in this review, focus on the illustration of several strategies, based
on the pediatrician' skills and medicine documents, that can be used for the
improvement of communication among pedia- trician-family and child, never
forgetting the hu- man aspect of the same doctor, that should con- ciliate with
the scientific knowledge in the taking care of a specific chronic disease.

Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation Discussion Board → New Developments → University of Maryland performs Liver Transplantation for CC patient
I thought that was pretty encouraging and worth a look.
I printed the info for my Onc and he was not impressed as there was only one case. Does anyone know of any further research on this topic?
Thanks in advance, Renée
Renee....liver transplantations for extrahepatic CC have been conducted for quite some time now. The criteria is very stringent. This link will lead you to the numerous postings about this subject:
http://cholangiocarcinoma.org/search.ht … amp;sa.y=4
Yes, the University of Maryland has only completed the very first transplant however; there are other institutions with a higher volume of transplantations for this disease much of it based on the Mayo Clinic Liver transplantation protocol.
Our Tiff is recovering from a domino transplant in where the donor received a transplant and then his liver was donated to Tiff. So, things are happening however; the majority of people don't qualify for this procedure.
The only way to know for sure is to contact a center with a proven track record of successful tansplantations.

The Sound Of Low Class Amerika

- 8 Exist To Remain
- 9 Cold Anger

- 14 Self Awareness
In The Sound of Low Class Amerika, you can feel the passion I Self Devine delivers on topics of community, class and social injustice in America as he spits truths to inspire the masses. The album is both a narrative for the current state of the world and a telling history as to how we arrived here. I Self Devine's truly unique voice and style create a sense of urgency and call to action while leading and equipping the listener with the tools necessary to act and dissent. Production from Jake One, Vitamin D, Medium Zach, Benzilla, DJ Todda, King Karnov, and Proh Mic drives the entire album, as well a guest feature from RSE labelmate Brother Ali.. It comes in strong and never slows or wavers as it takes to the listeners ear and marches them to the end. This is an album that ultimately solidifies I Self's position as a leader -- not only in his own social community but that of the music community.

The Williston Police Department released information on the following arrests:
Scott A. Mead, 35, of Southwest 3rd Street, Williston, was accused of battery in an incident outside his home with a man who allegedly owed him money.
Eugene Thomas Days, 41, of Southeast 10th Street, Williston, was accused of DUI and driving while license suspended or revoked after he was stopped by a police officer who recognized him and knew that his license was suspended.
A disturbance on Northeast 62nd Lane in Bronson resulted in three arrests,including one juvenile.
According to Sheriff's reports, the altercation apparently started over some car keys, one woman was threatened with strangulation and the girl was accused of sticking a knife to the throat of one of the people.
Besides all those geometric shapes students can find in those prints of famous paintings, what else can they learn from art? In the art classroom of Helen Darling, art teacher at Williston Elementary School, Ocala artist Connie Ferreira recently shared her vast knowledge about polymer clay as she engaged the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders for eight days during an "artist-in-the-school program," jointly funded by the Florida Arts in Education program (using matching funds from the School Board of Levy County), the Linda Green Proctor Memorial Fund and the Williston Art League.
It's a new year and dozens of Levy County residents are planning to make it a healthier 2009 by participating in the 5,000-Pound Challenge.
Saturday scores of them showed up at Nature Coast Regional Hospital to kick off the 10-month program designed to foster healthy living through nutrition, exercise, smoking cessation and heart attack and stroke prevention.
Three families have been selected to receive additional help through the challenge and at the end of the year, the family that best exemplifies a healthier unit will win prizes including makeovers and haircuts.
Members of the Williston Christian Home Schoolers were guests of the Two Trails Ranch on Tuesday Feb. 17. Ranch owner Patricia Zerbini led the group around the sprawling ranch to view the animals and learn, "All about Elephants."
That's right, since 1984 the elephants have been in Williston. The Two Tails Ranch was founded, designed and built in 1984 by Theodore H. Svertesky.
The ranch has been home to over 100 elephants over the years. They come to seek care, rehabilitation, temporary housing, retirement, and reproduction.
Sometimes teams do follow the script.
The matchup everyone has expected in the regional semifinals will take place Tuesday at Williston, where the boys basketball team will play host to P.K. Yonge in the Class 3A, Region 2 matchup.
Each team won on Thursday to advance. Williston eased past Keystone Heights, 62-32, and P.K. downed Union County, 85-67.
Game time at Williston next Tuesday is 7 p.m.
Williston's CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) is encouraging downtown businesses to spruce up with the help of façade improvement grants, which will total $10,000 for this year alone.
The thrust of the effort is to restore the historic feel of downtown Williston by returning core buildings to their original appearance.
Grants are available up to $5,000 for a single façade. Grants for lesser amounts may be awarded.
When all was said and done after Saturday night's 2009 Superintendent's Gala, the Levy County Schools Foundation raised approximately $13,000 for scholarships for area students. The Gala, held this year at Chiefland Elementary, was attended by 240 community members and featured live music by the Central Florida Community College Patriot Jazz Combo.
Two additions to the program this year included an award for outstanding alumni and a memorial scholarship for aspiring teachers.
"What is Williston going to get from the stimulus package?" asked Mayor R. Gerald Hethcoat toward the end of Tuesday evening's City Council meeting.
What do we have that is "shovel ready" and how do we apply for the grants needed to secure the funds to do it?
U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson's meeting with tri-county elected officials was a case of good news-bad news.
The good news is the stimulus bill passed.
The bad news is not everyone will be satisfied.
Nelson met with elected officials from Dixie, Gilchrist and Levy County at the Gilchrist County Courthouse in Trenton Tuesday afternoon as part of a briefing tour. Nelson had visited Polk County earlier in the day and had later meetings in Live Oak and Monticello.

text: I personally have to say this is one of the more biased collection of facts I have seen. I would not advise newcomers to Buddhism to read this personally, I know very little, but whoever answered these questions seems to feel themselves more intelligent, or important than the person asking the questions. Stating matter-of-factly that reincarnation exists, and nearly shunning vegetarians in favor of non-vegetarians, it seems to be quite backwards in what Buddhism is about. Questions such as, "who is the better Buddhist" in any given situation, seems to be an unfair statement, and beyond anyone's speculation.

McKade Brady still has a jaw that's wired shut.
Gary Andersen has no clue how the senior safety breathes when he's on the practice field.
But Brady is on track to play - and start - for the Aggies on Saturday against Toledo.
"He should be considered good to go," Andersen said.
Brady has missed time due to a broken jaw suffered against Louisiana Tech. While Utah State had little trouble with Idaho the following week, Brady's presence, his tackling and his all-around leadership will be needed against Toledo.
"He's our defensive captain," Andersen said. "He's one of the guys who has gotten us to this point. He will be sorely missed if he couldn't go on Saturday."
Brady has maintained his weight the last three weeks, despite not eating solid food. That, combined with his ability to run and make plays in practice, has increased the his ability to play.

As everyone already knows, March 3 has been declared national "If Pets Had Thumbs Day." So that seems as good a reason as any to have a pet-themed photo contest.
The rules are simple. Just send in a photo of you and your pet, or one just of your pet, with a caption of what you think the pet is thinking and what it would likely do if it had thumbs. Only submit one photo of your pet, although you can submit multiple photos if you have more than one animal in your care.
The deadline to send in your photo(s) is March 8. The photos will then be posted online and on Facebook. The photo with the most votes, either through "likes" or comments, by March 15 will be the winner. The winners will be announced March 18. The top winner will receive four tickets to the Andre Rieu concert at KeyArena on March 19. The second and third place winners will receive two tickets. Admission is regularly $72 each.
Rieu, one of the best-selling live acts in the world, is a master of the violin and his international "And The Waltz Goes On Tour" is an ode to the waltz and named after his successful album for which he collaborated with Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Actinic keratosis is caused by exposure to sunlight.
You are more likely to develop this if you:
Actinic keratosis is usually found on the face, scalp, back of the hands, chest, or places that are often in the sun.
Your doctor or nurse will look at your skin to diagnose this condition. A skin biopsy may be done to see if it is cancer.

U2 denies postponing new album until 2015
U2 is denying reports that their upcoming album has been pushed back to 2015.
A rep for the band tells "The Los Angeles Times" the Irish rockers still intend to have their next disc in stores before this year is over. A group spokesperson also tells the UK's "Guardian" that a 2014 release is "still on track," and "tour plans" in support of the disc "haven't been confirmed yet.
An unnamed source told "Billboard" last week that U2 was delaying both the album and tour until 2015, saying the band needed more time to complete the record.
U2's new album has never had an official release date. It was originally expected to arrive this spring, and then was pushed back to the summer.
The band unveiled their latest single, "Invisible," in a Super Bowl ad last month. They've also been busy in the awards circuit with "Ordinary Love," their contribution to the movie Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom.
U2's song won a Golden Globe award back in January, and was nominated for an Oscar. The band performed at the Academy Awards ceremony earlier this month.

GSA to Grant Excellence in Travel and Relocation Policy Award
February 7, 2008
Contact: Jen Millikin, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON – The U. S. General Services Administration's (GSA) Office of Governmentwide Policy (OGP) is seeking candidates for the biennial Travel and Relocation Innovation Award, which honors excellence in federal travel and relocation policy.

Bring the Right Books to Your Campus LibraryMore Activism Ideas
You don't have to wait until the next Banned Books Week to promote free expression in your campus library. Even a single student requesting and checking out the right books can slowly but surely change the composition of a college library collection.
How can you impact your school's library catalogue? Go to your campus library and request a conservative or libertarian book. If it's not there, a book request form will probably be available at the library website and/or front desk, and the library staff should order whatever you request. Moreover, new purchases are often displayed prominently at the front of the library for several weeks, drawing them to the attention of passing students.
Does your campus have these titles?
For a list of 26 great book suggestions which would make good additions to your personal library as well, click here.
Also be sure to check out other books by conservative and libertarian authors. Libraries have limited space and will regularly purge books which are not checked out frequently. Make sure you keep these great resources available to other students!

|Latest & Greatest
By Elizabeth A. Ginns — October 2003
As an advocate of safety on the water at all times, I don't believe that the wearing of a PFD should be limited to children. But I have to concede that most life-saving devices aren't very comfortable and wearing one of the traditional orange ones or jacket-style versions makes maneuvering difficult.
SOS's Coast Guard-approved World Class Pro Series PFD SOSPENDERS encourage comfortable safety at all times for boaters. It features an "open" design, which is much cooler and more comfortable than most traditional life "jackets" or foam vests. It's also less bulky, since it inflates only after you pull the auto-inflate cord or manually inflate it via the back-up oral inflation tube. It's intended for people weighing more than 80 pounds and comes in long- and short-torso sizes. The PFD features reflective strips and ranges in price from $110 to $190. Contact the company for a SOSPENDERSs dealer near you.

34 year GOP rep loses to Tea Party candidate
In 2015, for the first time since the Japanese surrendered to Douglas MacArthur on the U.S.S. Missouri, there will be no World War II veterans in Congress.
With the loss of Rep. Ralph Hall, a 34-year-incumbent in his Republican primary runoff for Congress, "the Greatest Generation" is now officially no longer on Capitol Hill. Hall, a former Democrat who switched to the GOP in 2004, became a target of Tea Party affliated groups like Club for Growth and Senate Conservatives Fund after he was held under 50% in his March primary. With his defeat, Hall becomes the first incumbent to lose in the 2014 election cycle. But just as last Tuesday's primaries were not really a win for the Republican establishment as some maintained, Hall's loss isn't a win for the Tea Party either.

Jake Owen logs fourth consecutive number one hit
Listen to Jake Owen on iHeartRadio
Jake Owen admits he's incredibly amazed by the success he's had with his most recent album, Barefoot Blue Jean Night. The latest single from his 2011 disc, "Anywhere With You," has topped the Billboard Country Airplay chart to become his fourth consecutive number one hit. But the country star says he's not thinking about a song's hit potential when he's choosing material for his albums.
"Anywhere With You" is also the fastest-rising single of Jake's career, and it's been certified Gold. The song has followed the path of the other three singles from "Barefoot," which have all topped the chart and earned sales certifications.
"The One That Got Away" is also a Gold record, while "Alone With You" has been certified Platinum. The album's title track has gone double-Platinum.

Just when it looked like USC turned a corner, the Trojans regressed back into the dead-end that has typified most of this season.
USC could not make its free throws or perimeter shots Saturday night and it proved costly in a 72-64 loss to California in front of 4,372 at the Galen Center.
The Trojans might survive going 2 for 11 on 3-point shots in a game, but making only eight of 18 free throws is another story. Forward Aaron Fuller was 1 for 4, center Omar Oraby 1 for 3 and guard Byron Wesley 0 for 2.
"It definitely hurts a lot to lose this one," USC forward DeWayne Dedmon said. "We've got to make free throws."
That type of shooting loses games, especially when Cal shoots 81 percent on free throws (21 for 26). And Bears guard Allen Crabbe of Los Angeles once again showed the local schools what they missed by scoring a game-high 27 points and making nine of 12 shots.
"We had all the opportunities in the world," USC coach Kevin O'Neill said. "It's too bad to waste a night at home when we have only seven turnovers. When you shoot (this poorly), you deserve to lose."
The game was critical because it completed a six-game stretch where the Trojans (6-9, 1-1) played five home games.
"I like the shots we're getting," O'Neill said. "But at this level you need to make them."
It is considered unlikely the Trojans will win this week's games. USC travels to Colorado and Utah and a split would probably be considered a luxury because the Trojans will be underdogs in both games.
Colorado is 10-2 and got robbed of the chance to hand No. 3-ranked Arizona its first loss of the season Thursday when the officials ruled a buzzer-beating shot occurred after time expired. Utah is 8-5 and lost to Arizona 60-57 in Tucson on Saturday.
USC did not experience one of its typical slow starts and actually scored the first basket on a 3-pointer by Wesley. But Cal (9-5, 1-1) took a 17-15 lead on Jeff Powers' 3-pointer with 7:59 left in the first half and never trailed again.
When Crabbe, the leading scorer in the Pac-12 at 20.9 points per game, made a 15-foot jump shot the Trojans trailed 44-36 with 14:14 remaining. But the Trojans came back and point guard Jio Fontan's basket and free throw cut the lead to 44-43 with 12:14 left. Crabbe proved his worth, however, with a 3-pointer that gave Cal a 53-47 lead with 9:40 remaining.
Perhaps the worst play of the game occurred when Fontan fouled Crabbe on a desperation shot with one second left on the shot clock. Crabbe made two free throws to boost Cal's advantage to 62-56 with 2:51 left.
At that point, Crabbe had 25 points. Tyrone Wallace put the game away with a 3-pointer at 1:13 left that gave the Bears a 66-58 lead.
One area USC needs to improve is rebounding. Cal outrebounded the Trojans 21-14 in the first half and that followed Stanford dominating the first half Thursday, 20-8. The Trojans entered the game as the worst rebounding team in the Pac-12.
"We get outrebounded because we miss too many shots," O'Neill said.
Dedmon was active again with 10 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots. Perhaps as important, Dedmon committed only one foul.
Notably missing was guard J.T. Terrell, who is the Trojans' second-leading scorer but did not play. "He had three turnovers in eight minutes (against Stanford)," O'Neill said.
USC's unsung hero this season is forward Eric Wise, a transfer from UC Irvine. Wise, who leads the Trojans in scoring (11.6 points) scored 14 to lead the Trojans and helped keep them in the game. But Wise, forward Renaldo Woolridge and guard Chass Bryan combined to go 0 for 7 on 3-point shots.

Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to use. That's how some Georgians may feel if Gov. Deal has his way in the General Assembly with SB 213, the cleverly named Flint River Drought Protection Act. It allows the State and select private partners to store water in underground aquifers to be pumped and augmented back into creeks and the river at a later time for downstream use. It sounds simple and straightforward. Well [pun intended], the Albatross is in the details. The bill introduces an entirely new form of water ownership into Georgia (State, versus common, ownership) and opens the door to western-US-style water ownership (private control). An upstream user could hold water to be sold or dedicated for downstream users' purposes. Currently, Georgians have a right to reasonable use of water flowing through and lying under their property. With SB 213, they could be denied use of that water because an upstream property owner has sold it or promised it to someone downstream. Will the Governor shoot the Albatross and bring bad luck to riverfront property owners, farmers and municipalities? You don't have to be a rocket scientist, hydrologist or fisheries biologist to understand that when you alter natural streamflows, unnatural things can happen. Depending on when water is removed and augmented back to the stream, unnaturally high stream temperatures and unnaturally low flows can be created that are capable of irreparable harm to a fishery. Trout Unlimited has purchased water rights in western states to restore and enhance streamflows to ensure healthy fisheries. Will the General Assembly shoot the Albatross and bring bad luck to natural streamflows? Injecting water, to be used later, for storage underground, Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR), has long been a contentious issue in Georgia. ASR is a risky proposition. If everything goes perfectly, precious groundwater supplies do not become contaminated – if. Contamination of aquifers and wells have occurred in ASR projects. If everything goes perfectly, wells do not go dry when aquifers are pumped during droughts once downstream users demand their 'augmented' water – if. ASR along the Flint River would allow Metro Atlanta to draw more water out of the Chattahoochee River to be replenished in the Flint for Alabama and Florida's use downstream. It is argued that if the State controls the water it will make decisions in the best interest of all parties – if. Will the General Assembly shoot the Albatross and bring bad luck to our state for the sake of Metro Atlanta? Augmentation would allow Georgia's Environmental Protection Division (EPD) Director to decide how stored water is allocated. The Director is authorized in the bill to make two lists: winners and losers. The Director would be able to deny property owners reasonable use of 'augmented' water, pumped from ASR projects that is flowing through and lying under their property for the benefit of a city, business owner or another state far, far away. This radically diminishes a property owners rights. There are currently active, limited augmentation projects to protect endangered species. SB 213 would inject ASR and augmentation on a large scale into Georgia. Will Georgia's EPD Director shoot the Albatross and bring bad luck to Georgians that dwell and work along our waterways? If the objective is to solve the Flint River's streamflow problems, HB 1085 – The Farmers Private Property Act, should be advanced. It contains the effective elements of SB 213 without the augmentation language. However, HB 1085 has been squashed by Gov. Deal. Will SB 213 be an Albatross around Georgia's neck and bring the bad luck of increased ASR and augmentation to Georgia? While the Flint River is a warm water stream, Georgia Trout Unlimited's mission based opposition to SB 213 is the precedent it sets by modifying riparian rights to commoditize and unitize streamflow for downstream use. ASR could exacerbate, not solve low streamflows. The Flint River is currently named as one of America's Most Endangered Rivers. This could happen on a trout stream near you. Kevin F.

Playstation 2
Tony Hawk's Underground 2
Activision, M15+, RRP $99.95, * * * *
In the spirit of Jackass (TV's most idiotic guilty pleasure), Underground 2 takes players on a World Destruction Tour. Led by the Birdman and mischief maker Bam Margera, players skate and cause mayhem. You'll find toilet humour, wanton destruction, childish pranks, crazy characters and ride-on contraptions such as lawnmowers and mechanical bulls - occasionally funny, but hardly sophisticated.
The story is not as intrusive as the last edition but can be eschewed in Classic mode, which offers demanding yet satisfying challenges to complete within a strict time limit. The sprawling levels are brilliantly designed and players have wonderful freedom to create their own skating parks and skaters, graffiti tags, challenging goals and even tricks. Some, may, however, feel like they have seen it all before.
Evil Genius
Vivendi, G8+, RRP $69.95, * * *
Megalomaniacs will love managing their own evil empire with this amusing spoof of '60s spy films. After choosing a Bond-style super-villain, players build an underground lair for their nefarious exploits using the simple controls. Minions need to be housed and trained, enemies interrogated and security systems - including cameras and devious traps - established.
Players are rewarded by a steady trickle of new toys, although constantly dealing with intruders can be distracting and tiresome. Acts of infamy, such as stealing and overthrowing rival crime bosses, can be performed around the world. But players have no real interaction with the despicable duties beyond sending out waves of underlings who can be attacked without warning. Progress requires patience, juggling priorities and micromanagement. Fortunately, the flaws are softened by many clever ideas; it feels good to be bad.
Pikmin 2
Nintendo, G8+, RRP $99.95, * * * * *
Pikmin sprouted from Shigeru Miyamoto's love of nature and was fertilised by his design genius. The result produced one of the most innovative modern masterpieces. Pikmin 2 is even better, again allowing players to command hundreds of delightful plant-like critters.
The Pikmin must be guided to battle predators, demolish obstacles, build bridges, solve puzzles, carry treasures and, of course, multiply. The original's punitive time limit has been scrapped, allowing players to proceed at their own pace. Captain Olimar is now joined by larrikin Louie - a clever addition that allows efficient multi-tasking, more complex puzzles and absorbing two-player action.
There are new breeds of Pikmin, including stronger critters and poisonous varieties that can locate hidden treasure, along with spices that can improve Pikmin attributes or combat foes. Players face ingenious challenges and can delve into caves.

Two representatives of the American Association for the Advancement of Science urged the state of Kansas not to confuse students about science by encouraging religiously motivated and scientifically unwarranted criticisms of evolution to be taught in the state's public classrooms. In the July 30, 2006, issue of the Wichita Eagle, Gilbert S. Omenn and Alan I.
A strong position statement supporting the teaching of evolution and opposing the teaching of "intelligent design" was issued by Research!America, which describes itself as "the nation's largest not-for-profit public education and advocacy alliance working to make research to improve health a higher national priority." The statement reads:

New was pressured by students, parents, teachers, and administrators to downplay her presentation of evolution in her classes, despite the fact that it pervad
Evolution continues to be a burning issue as the August 1, 2006, primary election in Kansas approaches. In November 2005, the state board of education voted 6-4 to adopt a set of state science standards in which the scientific standing of evolution is systematically impugned.
Evolution education wasn't the only issue on which candidates for school board in Cobb County, Georgia, were running, but it was evidently important in the July 18, 2006, general primary election.

Mocha Dick, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- At the Morgan Library and in England, Jane Austen miscellanea abounds: recent years have seen the discovery, exhibition, and/or sale of Austen's turquoise ring, Austen's nephew's memoirs (with her handwriting somewhere among the pages), Austen's teenage notebooks, fragments of her unfinished novel, a stone shield excavated from a house near her birthplace …
- "Once a sci-fi plot conceit, time travel has become among the most popular structural devices in contemporary fiction. Today 'time machine fiction' reigns supreme."
- Before Moby-Dick there was Mocha Dick—not a coffee-chocolate phallus but "a real-life whale … who fought off whalers for decades before being killed by harpoon." It was a magazine story about Mocha that inspired Melville to write his novel; now, in a new illustrated book, Mocha Dick: The Legend and the Fury, the original whale gets his due.
- The history of nine terms of endearment, including such perennials as sweetheart (1290) and sugar (1930), but also some deep cuts: mopsy (1582), bawcock (1601), and prawn (1895), the last of which ought to come into vogue again any minute now.
- A manual for the first computer game—"The Ferranti Nimrod Digital Computer," dubbed "Faster than Thought"—has sold for $4,200. The computer was designed specifically to play "a match-stick game called Nim that was played in the French movie L'Année Dernière à Marienbad."

Weekly Game Notes | Gameday Central
The Wyoming Cowboys return to War Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 8 to host their 2012 home opener against the Toledo Rockets in a 2 p.m. kickoff. Saturday's matchup will feature two teams that both earned bowl appearances a year ago. Wyoming lost to Temple 15-37 in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl and posted an 8-5 record. Toledo defeated Air Force 42-41 in the Military Bowl and ended the season 9-4.
The two teams feature some of the top quarterbacks in the country. Wyoming's Brett Smith ranks 26th in the nation in passing yards (276.0 ypg) and 26th in total offense (294.0 ypg) this season. Toledo rotates junior QB Terrance Owens and senior QB Austin Dantin. Owens ranks No. 6 in the nation in passing efficiency (169.2 rating) this season, and Dantin ranks No. 20 (149.7 rating).
Wyoming is one of the favorites in the 2012 Mountain West Conference race, being picked fourth in the 10-team Mountain West by conference media members to begin the season. The Rockets were picked by Mid-American Conference media to win the West Division of the MAC entering this season.
Wyoming and Toledo will be meeting for only the second time in the two schools' histories. Wyoming won the first meeting in Toledo on Oct. 2, 2010, by a score of 20-15.
Both teams are looking to bounce back from tough opening week road losses. Wyoming lost at No. 15 ranked Texas, by a score of 17-37. Toledo lost at Arizona by a score of 17-24 in overtime.
Cowboy junior wide receiver Robert Herron was recognized by CollegeFootballPerformance.com as this week's National Wide Receiver of the Week. Herron caught five passes for a career high 173 yards and tied a personal high with two touchdown receptions versus Texas. His opening-week performance ranks him No. 4 in the nation in receiving yards this season.
Defensively, senior linebacker Korey Jones led the way for the Cowboys in the season opener versus Texas. Jones registered the first double-figure tackle game of his career, with 13 stops against the Longhorns. Jones is tied for No. 12 in the nation in tackles.
UW head coach Dave Christensen was an assistant coach at Toledo from 1992-2000. Cowboy assistant coach Jim Harding played offensive tackle for UT from 1997-2000, and was an All-Conference performer and team captain in 2000.
Matt Campbell is in his first season as head coach of the Toledo Rockets after serving as the Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line Coach for Toledo in 2010 and `11. He is the youngest NCAA Division I (FBS) head coach in the country at age 32. He served his first game as a college head coach in the 2011 Military Bowl, guiding Toledo to a 42-41 win over Air Force. In 2007 and 2008, he was an assistant coach at Bowling Green under current Wyoming Offensive Coordinator Gregg Brandon. Campbell served as Brandon's Offensive Line Coach in 2007 and was promoted to Run-Game Coordinator/Offensive Line Coach in 2008. He originally joined Brandon's staff as a Graduate Assistant Coach in 2003 and `04. For the 2004 and `05 seasons, he returned to his alma mater, Mount Union College, as the Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line Coach
The Wyoming Cowboys will be hosting their 116th home opener this Saturday. In the previous 115 home openers, the Pokes have a record of 78 wins, 34 losses and three ties for a winning percentage of 69.1 percent. Wyoming has won nine consecutive home openers dating back to the 2003 season.
Wyoming has had a great deal of success hosting teams from east of the Mississippi River. Wyoming is 7-1 since 2000 versus teams from east of the Mississippi. Among the wins were a 37-32 victory over Ole Miss of the SEC in 2004 and a 23-3 win over Virginia of the ACC in 2007.
Toledo will be the ninth team from east of the Mississippi that Wyoming will have hosted since 2000, and the fourth member of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) to visit Laramie since 2000. UW defeated Central Michigan (31-10) and Ohio (21-20) of the MAC before losing to Bowling Green (16-45) in 2008. The head coach of Bowling Green at the time of that game is now Wyoming offensive coordinator Gregg Brandon.
There is no television coverage of Saturday's game, but tickets may be purchased at www.WyomingAthletics.com or by calling 877-WYO-FAN1 (877-996-3261).
The Cowboy Sports Network will broadcast the game live on radio over its 25 affiliate stations, beginning with the pregame show one hour prior to kickoff.

DUMP ALGEBRA: Because we only care about ourself and, by extension, our daughter Hannah, we haven't been overly concerned about college since we were in it. And, now that our daughter is a senior at Millikan, our concern about college is rekindling to the point that we're outraged about Long Beach City College considering cutting up to 17 programs in what could be Hannah's first year at that college.
First, let's steer the subject gently back to us and our palpable and fiery hatred of algebra. To paraphrase whomever it was that Shakespeare stole from, "The first thing we do, let's kill all the algebra teachers."
OK, that might be a bit severe. Let's keep a few algebra teachers alive so that people who really want to learn algebra can still take an algebra class. Won't need a lot of them because as far as we can tell, the only reason to take algebra is if you want to be an algebra teacher, which, as we've just seen, we won't be needing very many of, so now we've got this whole snake-eating-its-tail thing.
This newspaper's savvy education reporter Kelly Puente points out that schools still need a lot of algebra classes because algebra is required for graduation.
Our point is, it shouldn't be. Algebra, as far as we can tell, is a huge, solid wall that prevents certain people from pursuing higher education. It keeps people from graduating high school, it keeps people from completing college and for what? Algebra?
"When am I ever going to need to know this?" is the eternal whine of the beleaguered algebra student and one that algebra teachers, may God have mercy on their souls, have had to grapple with. But, it's a good question. True, when we recently built a cigar-box guitar for our friend Charlie, the matter of x-intercepts of the parabola with (4,75) and y-intercept (0,27) came up, but we worked around it with Gorilla Glue and duct tape.
We're not the only highly intelligent person to denounce the algebra requirement. Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen, who is just a few notches below us on the highly intelligent scale, has long advocated giving algebra the heave-ho as a required course, and author and City University of New York professor Andrew Hacker, who's a lot more highly intelligent than we are, wrote a brilliant piece recently in the New York Times titled "Is Algebra Necessary?" (Spoiler alert: No, it's not.)
The eradication of the algebra requirement would solve a mess of problems in the state and country. More students would stay in school and go on to graduate in areas that are useful to varying degrees, but almost all more useful than algebra.
The kind of money the state (let's just worry about our state for now; the South has its own set of unique problems) squanders on algebra teachers would be freed up so that schools could offer things like music and art (we would argue that learning how to play a recorder or a ukulele is more useful that algebra) and colleges such as LBCC wouldn't be very seriously considering cutting a dozen or more programs, including film, photography, human services, physical geography, recording arts, air conditioning, auto mechanics and aviation maintenance next year while offering more than 75 algebra classes this fall.
There are people who are hard-wired to "get" algebra, and for many of them, algebra is fun, like a puzzle. We are happy and in some case grateful for these people.
But there are more of us who are incapable of grappling with algebra, even the second time around when our kids need help with their algebra homework.
It's fairly easy at first: You find x when 4-x=1. Eventually, though, the numbers are phased out and you're left with trying to figure out what d is when the only information you have is c and b. This is the point where photography starts to look pretty good as a major. But, then, you still have to complete your algebra courses before you get that photo degree.
When we enrolled at LBCC in 1973, the world was our oyster. The state had education money it was mad at. The course catalog looked like it was for a Montessori college. We took things like Moog synthesizer and group therapy - and photography.
We're not suggesting that knocking algebra off the list of required courses would bring back that bounty of possibilities, but at least students wouldn't be stymied in pursuit of their dreams and vocations, and it would free up more teachers to instruct students in classes that could lead to useful jobs and careers, such as journalism.
OK, bad example, but you know what we mean.

Ohio Considering Using Drones To Monitor Prisons
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSPD) -- Ohio could be the first state in the nation to use drones to monitor prisons.
The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections calls the devices "unmanned aerial vehicles" and is considering three types of devices: a tethered balloon, a helicopter, and fixed-wing vehicle.
"We would be looking at, at least tentatively, both a daytime electronic optics - like a high definition camera with pan, tilt, zoom capability and then night-time infrared capability," said Operations Manager Ed Voorhies.
The program would be tested at the Lebanon Correctional Institution and Warren Correctional Institution in southwest Ohio.
"At the end of that period we would then be making determinations about the costs, the benefits, and whether or not to proceed with one or more of the types of vehicles," he said.
Voorhies is quick to point out that they are not considering the devices as replacement for prison guards.
"We are in no way looking at this as an opportunity to layoff staff and replace them with an unmanned aerial vehicle."
Voorhies sees the devices being especially helpful in preventing and investigating contraband being dropped off at the prisons. He says that in some cases they would be able to spot and track someone dropping something off on prison grounds or tossing something over a fence. The video from the devices would be monitored in the prisons master control center.
Another part of the proposal would be a statewide privacy standard to shield those who live near prisons from being spied on.
The program is in the public comment phase right now. You can weigh in e-mailing email@example.com or calling (513) 932-1211 ext. 2121.

On the Shelf
Ah, Bless, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- The winners of this year's Best Translated Book Awards: in fiction, László Krasznahorkai's Seiobo There Below, translated from the Hungarian by Ottilie Mulzet; in poetry, Elisa Biagini's The Guest in the Wood, translated from the Italian by Diana Thow, Sarah Stickney, and Eugene Ostashevsky.
- Jenny Diski, bless her, on aging, or something like it: "I must accept that I was old because my hairdresser says, 'Ah, bless,' in response to whatever I say in answer to her questions. 'Are you busy today?' 'Just regular working.' 'Ah, bless.' 'How was the weekend?' 'A friend came to stay.' 'Ah, bless.' The other day, when she asked, I said: 'I'm being interviewed by a journalist from Poland.' 'Ah, bless.' … The ah-bless alters or confirms whatever it's responding to, and in my mind's eye (altered and confirmed) I see a small, nondescript old lady going bravely about her business. There are other signs that I am no longer young, but the ah-bless is the most open and public."
- In 1968, Charles Simic witnessed a group of disgruntled poets settle things the old-fashioned way—with fisticuffs. "I stood on the porch watching in astonishment with the Chilean poet Nicanor Parra and the French poet Eugène Guillevic. They were delighted by the spectacle and assumed that this is how American poets always settled their literary quarrels; I tried to tell them that this was the first time I had seen anything like that and it scared the hell out of me, but they just laughed."
- A series of photos compares public spaces in North and South Korea. (The shot of the Pyongyang Metro is especially poignant.)
- Guillaume Nicloux discusses his new film, The Kidnapping of Michel Houellebecq, starring, yes, Michel Houellebecq: "He is also really annoying to the captors. He is always asking for wine and cigarettes, he asks for another visit from the prostitute, he is really tiresome for them. He gets angry. He begs our sympathy, but at the same time he behaves really badly."

A Part of Teaneck Comes Home
By RON WERTHEIMER, Staff Writer
TEANECK - The threatening storm clouds which hovered overhead all morning parted as Clarence W. Brett drove his rented car up to the new park.
The 81-year-old former mayor bounded from the green sedan looking like a healthy 50 and gave a big wave. Jim Brett-that's what his friends call him-doesn't get back to town much since he retired to Scottsdale, Ariz., in 1964.
He's here for a week though, and for a good reason. Ten acres of Hackensack riverfront is about to be unveiled as Clarence W. Brett Park.
"It sorta makes a fella seem humble," he said. A few feet away front his car, workmen were preparing a sign for tomorrow's 2 p.m. ceremony.
It's a small favor from the town which Brett continues to refer to as home.I'd be lying if I didn't say this is still my home," he said. I have so many friends here, and so many memories.
Brett walked along the acreage which leads to the banks of the Hackensack River-it wasn't as clear as it was when he moved here from Massachusetts in 1918-and reminisced.
We had three or four thousand people here then," he recalled. "Where the park is, there used to be a farm. Right where we're walking now, that used to be a rhubarb patch.
"Brett spent 30 years in government in Teaneck, first as school board trustee in the 1930s, then 12 years on the Township Council. He was Mayor Brett from 1946 to 1950. The office gave him a seat on the Planning Board. He remained on the board until he left for Arizona.
He hasn't exactly been inactive in retirement either. Only last year he married for the third time.
During almost 50 years in Teaneck he saw a lot of growing, and had a hand in some of it.
"You know," he recalls, "the high school was supposed to be put up on Queen Anne Road where it meets Route 4 now. I went over to the site withmy friend Frank Sample. We had a group called the Teaneck Athletic Association. We weren't very athletic though."
"That flat ground on Queen Anne looked perfect for a sports field. We asked the town to buy the hill above the field. It was covered with pine trees.
"The pine trees are mostly gone now, and the high school ,which serves this town of 42,355 overlooks the playing field he and Frank Sample imagined.
With the exception of places like the new Brett Park, there are not too many open spaces left here anymore."You can build horizontally just so long, then you have to go vertically," Brett observes."I hate to say it, but I see high-rises coming to our town very soon."
Looking dapper in his cranberry shirt, Brett stopped his stroll and watched the workmen preparing the sign. He walked back to his car, and you could see a little twinkle of pride in his eye. He drove off down River Road, and overhead the storm clouds started rolling back over the park.

Anyone strolling past the new Portland, Maine, office of Richard Renner | Architects can see there's something going on here. The old commercial building wears a revamped, slightly abstract façade. Its new steel awnings sprout thick mops of greenery. A photovoltaic array stands watch on the roof. But there's even more here than meets the eye. By combining his firm's headquarters with his own home in an existing urban building—and by rehabbing that building as greenly as he knows how—Richard Renner, AIA, LEED AP, is really putting his money where his mouth is.
Green design is Renner's specialty—he penned the first house in the Northeast to earn a LEED Platinum rating—and he views existing buildings as an essential weapon in the battle to save the environment. "We're not going to build our way out of this problem," he says. To bring this brick box up to standard, Renner spray foamed its walls and roof to R–34 and R–55, respectively; installed triple-glazed windows; and specified high-efficiency HVAC systems (including heat recovery ventilation) for both the office and the apartment. A green roof—480 square feet of low-maintenance sedum—reduces the summer heat load and rainwater runoff.
Renner's budget precluded seeking LEED certification for the office space—"It would have been at least $10 per square foot in soft costs to do it LEED NC," he says—but it meets the same sustainability standards as the apartment, which earned a LEED Platinum rating. The living quarters, which Renner designed in collaboration with his wife, graphic designer Janet Friskey, employ abundant natural lighting, long sight lines, and a split-level plan to maximize the 1,400 square feet of living space. "It was a bit like doing a boat," he says of the experience.
The building's envelope and systems perform as expected—first-year costs for heating, cooling, and domestic hot water totaled $423—but the environmental benefits of this rehab go further than that, Renner explains. The in-town location saves energy and carbon emissions, reuses both a building and an already disturbed site, and lends sustainability a little urban cachet. "It shows that you can have a very high level of environmental responsibility and not compromise the design," he says.

I admit – I can't resist scanning "best of" lists, especially books and movies. If I have a pen nearby, I find myself checking off those I have read or seen.
I just read my first "best of" list for 2009: "Best Books of 2009" in the Nov/Dec issue of Bookmarks magazine. I had two immediate thoughts: how can they publish this list yet – there might be even better books published yet this year AND how can it be that there so many books on this list that sound great and I've never even heard of them.
It seems a little early to ask you to share your favorite book of 2009, but begin thinking about it. My favorite nonfiction might be Looking for Lincoln: The Making of an American Icon or The Hemingses of Monticello. Then again there are still seven weeks left in the year and I might yet read one I like even more than either of these two.
I've read more fiction than nonfiction so it's a little harder to pick a favorite. I might have to do my own "best of" list.
To quote Thomas Jefferson, "so many books, so little time."
We have many good ones, come visit soon.

Orioles Will Listen On Bedard
New Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail confirms what we've been reading for the past few months: the club will at least listen to offers for ace Erik Bedard. He adds that the O's have had preliminary, general extension talks with Bedard. I imagine that if Bedard is looking for the $18-20MM per year he could get on the open market, the O's will choose to trade him. Two years of Bedard is at least as good as one of Johan Santana, and Bedard doesn't have any no-trade stipulations. He made just $3.4MM this year.
What are your thoughts on a reasonable package the O's might get for Bedard? The typical Matt Kemp/Clayton Kershaw speculation seems to fit here.
MacPhail also admits that he'd prefer to have flexibility rather than all the long-term contracts the team has committed to. He expects an active trade market, and you can bet the Orioles will be in the middle. Miguel Tejada is likely to be dealt, especially if his name is absent from the Mitchell Report.
Rays' Kazmir May Be Available
The week in hot stove kicks off with a bang: Joel Sherman of the New York Post has a source saying the Devil Rays might listen to offers for ace lefty Scott Kazmir. Kazmir turns 24 in January and carries a 3.64 career ERA despite pitching in the AL East. He's been particularly tough on the Red Sox (2.66 ERA in 101 innings). You have to think that if the Yankees are entertaining making an offer for Johan Santana, they'd consider Kazmir as well if the Rays would deal within the division.
Sherman notes that Kazmir is under contract for three years as opposed to just one for Santana, which could equate the two pitchers in the marketplace. Erik Bedard, under control for two years, has to be in that group of elite, possibly available southpaws as well. Sherman believes the Rays would seek "multiple high-end pitchers" for Kazmir, who is entering arbitration for the first time this winter. The Yankees could offer a package starting with Phil Hughes, but the Mets don't seem to have the goods. It would take a pitcher of that nature - Hughes, Yovani Gallardo, Clay Buchholz. Otherwise, why would the Rays consider it?
Sherman also echoes the surprising notion that Tim Lincecum could be had for the right bat. He speculates that the Giants could pursue Carl Crawford or Delmon Young as the return. Hey, our Delmon speculation is catching on!
Bedard and Kazmir are the type of players the reds should target in a trade this offseason. What is everyone willing to give up to get these players?

Its thread like this which make you realise even with the tv deals (is it exclusive to sky or live around the world?) people are blacklisting the promotion due to the management. I heard the rumours but seeing it in black and white is a different matter
this thread pisses all over the show respect thread last week
I thought this and the "respect" thread was on of the same, like a parallel universe?
I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.
Second worst thread ever
Brad, which one is your worst?
