44 Learning Principles Gee JAMES PAUL GEE (2005) Learning by Design: good video games as learning machines, E- Learning and Digital Media, 2(1), How do good game designers manage to get new players to learn long, complex, and difficult games? There are many good principles of learning built into good computer and video game.
45 I. Empowered learners Co- design Principle: Good learning requires that learners feel like acsve agents (producers) not just passive recipients (consumers). Games: In good games, players feel that their acsons and decisions and not just or primarily the designers acsons and decisions are co- creasng the world they are in.
46 Customize I. Empowered learners Principle: Different styles of learning work for different people. People cannot be agents of their own learning if they cannot make decisions about how their learning will work. At the same Sme, they should be able (and encouraged) to try new styles. Games: Good games achieve this goal in one (or both) of two ways. In some games, players are able to customize the game play to fit their learning and playing styles. In others, the game is designed to allow different styles of learning and playing to work.
47 II Problem Solving Well ordered problems Pleasantly FrustraSng Skills as Strategies People learn and pracsce skills best when they see a set of related skills as a strategy to accomplish goals they want to accomplish.
48 System Thinking III Understanding Principle: People learn skills, strategies, and ideas best when they see how they fit into an overall larger system to which they give meaning. In fact, any experience is enhanced when we understand how it fits into a larger meaningful whole. Games: Good games help players see and understand how each of the elements in the game fit into the overall system of the game and its genre (type). Players get a feel for the rules of the game that is, what works and what doesn t, how things go or don t go in this type of world.
49 Meaning as ac2on image III Understanding Principle: Humans do not usually think through general definisons and logical principles. Rather, they think through experiences they have had. Games: This is, of course, the heart and soul of computer and video games. Even barely adequate games make the meanings of words and concepts clear through experiences the player has and acsvises the player carries out, not through lectures, talking heads, or generalises.

56 Gamifica2on is the use of game mechanics for non- game applicasons, parscularly consumer- oriented web and mobile sites, in order to encourage people to adopt the applicasons. It also strives to encourage users to engage in desired behaviors in connecson with the applicasons.

60 Pros and cons Playing video games is fun because it provides experiences of competence, self- efficacy, mastery. Conversely, not a single serious empirical study to my knowledge mensons extrinsic rewards as a crucial mosvasng factor. Raph Koster A Theory of Fun for Game Design (2005)
61 The task he has to perform on each unit that passes in front of his sta9on should take forty- three seconds to perform the same exact opera9on almost six hundred 9mes in a working day. Most people would grow 9red of such work very soon. But Rico has been at this job for over five years, and he s9ll enjoys it. The reason is that he approaches his task in the same way an Olympic athlete approaches his event: How can I beat my record? Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

The airline will buy four 787-9 aircraft, replacing an earlier order for four 787-8 planes. The first of the new aircraft is scheduled to go into service in December 2010.
The 787-9, which has a list price of $183 million, has a range of about 8,080 miles with 280 seats. That compares to the 787-8's range of about 7,400 miles and a capacity of between 230 to 250 seats.
"The range and seat capacity of the 787-9 is even greater than that of the 787-8 model and this will provide Air New Zealand with new capabilities for our long haul international operations," said Rob Fyfe, the New Zealand flag carrier's chief executive.
Air New Zealand first announced its decision to purchase the 787 aircraft in June 2004.

Miller, Martin carry Kings past BobcatsJan 31, 2008 - 7:09 AM By Tom Galland PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer
SACRAMENTO, California (Ticker) -- The Sacramento Kings' offense is starting to click.
Brad Miller had 22 points and 21 rebounds and Kevin Martin also scored 22 as the Kings posted a 105-91 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats in the opener of a five-game homestand on Wednesday.
Ron Artest poured in 10 of his 21 points in the third quarter in helping Sacramento eclipse the century mark for the sixth time in seven games.
"(Brad) really worked hard this summer so he's just reaping the benefits of that hard work," Sacramento coach Reggie Theus said. "(He's) really staying focused on what he has to do as a player and a leader on the team."
Miller connected on 8-of-12 shots and added three blocks to go with a career-high rebound total and his first 20-point, 20 rebound performance.
"You never know getting into January how your body feels," said Miller, who lost 25 pounds through an intense offseason workout and diet regimen. "I've been sticking with the same routine I started this summer and obviously it's paying off.
"20 rebounds was a goal I always wanted to get. I felt like I'd been stuck on 19 for about five years. I'm glad to get it in a win, that's for sure."
After shooting 58 percent in the opening half, the Bobcats were held to just five field goals in the third, and the Kings took full advantage.
Sacramento closed out the period on a 9-2 burst to create an 84-68 cushion heading into the decisive quarter. Charlotte was outscored, 29-16, in the period.
"We got away from what we wanted to do," former King Gerald Wallace said. "We let them get out and run, push the ball, and just do whatever they wanted to do in the third quarter. We started off 1-for-10 (in the third). You can't do that on the road."
The Bobcats rallied midway through the fourth to cut their deficit to 89-83 with an 11-2 stretch with 6 1/2 minutes to go.
But the Kings were able to regain control as Artest fed Mikki Moore for a one-handed dunk with 4:27 remaining that extended the lead to 96-85 for a little breathing room.
"I fed off Brad," said Moore, who had 11 points and blocked four shots. "Brad has been playing like an All-Star this whole season. Everyone is playing together and playing team ball on both ends of the court."
Martin followed moments later with a dunk off a perfect baseline feed from Miller and the Kings were not challenged the rest of the way.
Wallace netted 25 points and Emeka Okafor added 13 and 15 boards for Charlotte, which dropped to 4-14 on the road this season after managing just 39 points in the second half.
The first half featured five ties and 14 lead changes as both teams shot over 50 percent from the floor. Sacramento appeared to be getting control after spurting to a 40-33 lead early in the second.
However, Charlotte answered with a 10-2 run of its own to grab a brief lead before Sacramento settled down to take a 55-52 lead at intermission.
Behind Miller, Sacramento had a rare dominating performance on the boards, outrebounding Charlotte by a 55-39 margin.
"The rebounding is one of the areas we want to get better (at)," Charlotte coach Sam Vincent said. "We did not box out well enough and secure position. That gave them second-chance opportunities."

8 Min Read
HOUSTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - To the list of unexpected windfalls created by the boom in shale gas production, add one more: The full-time philanthropy of billionaire trader John Arnold.
Tired of struggling to eke out gains in a natural gas market that has been deluged by an unyielding surplus of supply, Arnold announced on Wednesday that he would wind down his Centaurus hedge fund after a decade of unparalleled returns. The fund was flat this year through March, according to an industry source.
In one way, the hydraulic fracturing technology used to tap into decades' worth of cheap domestic gas has cut short the career of the legendary trader, one who before the age of 40 amassed a fortune of more than $3 billion in the wildest commodity ever.
That volatility has been flattened by a glut of natural gas thanks to technological advances that allow much more to be produced from hard shale rock than ever before.
But there's a flip side: Arnold, the biggest financier-turned-giver since George Soros, will now fully focus his sharp wits and financial savvy on vexing issues ranging from pension reform to public schools, directing the $700 million foundation he founded with his wife Laura in 2008.
The couple -- widely respected in their home town of Houston, which still lives under the shadow of Arnold's erstwhile employer Enron -- expects to see results.
"They make a distinction between charity and philanthropy," says Jim Crownover, chairman of Rice University's board of trustees, on which Laura Arnold serves. John Arnold also serves on the board of the Rice Management Company, which oversees the university's $4.5 billion endowment.
"They think investment vs. donation," he said. "They're looking at places where the market doesn't work, like in education."
The Arnolds were No. 11 on the Chronicle of Philanthropy's list of the 50 most generous U.S. donors of 2011 with $101 million. Arnold turned 38 in March making him the youngest among the top givers -- by more than two decades in most cases.
"We have the benefit of being young, so we can look at very complicated problems," Arnold told the Chronicle last year in a rare interview. "We have years to see these through."
Another major cause is the Innocence Project, founded 20 years ago, which works to exonerate wrongfully convicted people and institute other criminal justice reforms.
The Arnolds funded a study of eyewitness identification that the Texas Legislature is using as the basis for producing a unified standard for eyewitness IDs throughout the state.
The study would have faltered without their backing, says Barry Scheck, who co-founded the project.
"They came through in a big way," he said. "But they don't just give you money... They really want to know what you're doing."
Arnold declined requests this week to talk about his retirement or future plans.
Many gas traders rued the news, a stark sign that a period of extraordinary volatility had truly ended.
"Our market's loss is going to be humanity's gain," says Javier Loya, chairman and CEO of broker OTC Global Holdings in Houston, who has brokered trades for Arnold for 17 years. Like others interviewed for this story, Loya described Arnold as super-competitive, but also humble and forgiving.
In the previous decade, natural gas prices fluctuated by more than 5 percent once every 7 days, according to Reuters data, making it the most volatile commodity in the world.
But since the start of 2010, fluctuations of that scale have occurred only once every 17 trading days, giving dealers who thrived in that kind of volatility fewer opportunities.
Last year, after registering the first ever annual loss in 2010, he returned $1 billion of the fund to investors. That left around $4 billion, about half of which was outside funds, one investor estimated.
"It reached a point where you had to be a childhood friend to get money to him," John Kilduff, Partner, Again Capital LLC. "He just didn't have any more capacity."
After graduating from Vanderbilt University with an economics and math degree in 1995, Arnold joined Enron in its heyday, quickly rising to become one of their most profitable traders ever. He used his earnings, one year is said to have included a record $8 million bonus, to set up Centaurus in 2002.
He made his early mark principally trading derivatives.
In the most famous example, he stood his ground against Connecticut-based Amaranth Advisors in 2006, taking the other side of a bet in the famous "widowmaker" spread in the natural gas market-- the difference between March and April prices. Amaranth's Brian Hunter lost, and the fund imploded with a $6 billion loss.
Arnold benefitted from Hunter's outsized bets in the market but he didn't break any laws. By taking the other side of that bet, he swam through a loophole in commodities trading laws. The so-called Enron loophole that allowed traders to go unregulated and gather large positions and not report them to a regulator.
In July 2007, the commission forced the IntercontinentalExchange to report individual trader positions to U.S. regulators, something it didn't have to do before. In June 2009, the New York Mercantile Exchange changed its laws to put hard position limits on major natural gas contracts.
Arnold pleaded with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to not force position limits in a 2009 written statement.
"This requirement will result in a significant amount of unnecessary trading and more volatility as traders have to unwind previously existing positions," he wrote. But in this battle he did not prevail. Last year, the CFTC went ahead and imposed measures to limit speculation in commodities, effectively clipping the wings of big traders like Arnold.
The Centaurus legacy seems unlikely to fade. One senior commodity market source said some staff had been surprised by Arnold's abrupt retirement, but would likely quickly find employment, possibly among the foreign firms eager to siphon off any of his team's crack trading talent.
One rare Centaurus departure was Mike Maggi, Arnold's deputy and former Enron colleague, who retired a few years after the Ameranth saga. But retirement didn't suit him, and he launched his own fund Goldfinch Capital.
After a 20 percent gain in 2011, a year in which many hedge funds struggled to break even, Goldfinch is up 13 percent so far this year, a respectable performance but not the benchmark, according to an industry source who tracks performance.
Among the narrow circle of Houston-based energy hedge funds, generally described as a more down-to-earth lot than rivals in Connecticut, London or Geneva, that honor falls to Velite founder David Coolidge at the moment. His fund is up 22 percent this year, extending a winning streak from shorting gas.
Whether someone as passionate about the market as Arnold can stay out of the game after 17 years remains to be seen.
"If he approaches the problem of distributing his wealth as efficiently as he approached the natural gas options market, he's going to do great things for the world," said John D'Agostino, who worked for rival gas-focused hedge fund MotherRock a decade ago. "There are other guys who are going to figure out how to make money in the gas market."

Zamalek sign Ahmed Kaboria from Al Masry
Zamalek have completed the signing of Ahmed Kaboria from Egyptian Premier League...
Essam El-Hadary, one of the best African goalkeepers of all time, talked about his recent performance with Wadi Degla, the current players in Al Ahly and his hopes to rejoin the Red Devils.
The 42-year-old star managed to save a number of chances in his team's latest match against the club where he spent most of his football career in, Al Ahly. The match ended in a 0-0 draw.
"I talk to the football, hug it and kiss it. Because of that, I can control it in training sessions and matches," El-Hadary reveals his secrets for an amazing performance. "The stable mood my family provide and my dad's prayers are also things that helped me perform well."
He assured that he is only focusing on serving the club he represents right now, yet, he still aspires to return to Al Ahly. "I still dream of returning to Al Ahly and to represent the national team again, however, I won't feel sad if this doesn't happen," he added to 9090 radio station.
El-Hadary also talked about the current players representing Al Ahly, as he pointed out that the difference between the current generation and the previous generation might be the quality of the players themselves and their ambitions, specially that the club is building a new team.
"In the past, when Mohamed Barakat and Mohamed Abou-Treika's generation used to play, opponents wished we'd only score one or two goals. They feared to score first so that we won't comeback with three goals at least," he concluded.

How to Display an Activity Indicator with UIActivityIndicatorView
We all wish that our apps could run without latency and pauses, but the reality is loading screens are needed from time to time. Today's advent tip is how to display an activity indicator in your app like the one seen below. It's great for soothing the savage, impatient user.
It can actually be done with just a few lines of code. First, we create and position the UIActivityIndicatorView by doing the following. It needs to be added to a view, so be sure to replace "myView" with your own view.
UIActivityIndicatorView *activityView = [[[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge] autorelease]; [myView addSubview: activityView]; activityView.center = CGPointMake(240,160);
So now the activity indicator is created and positioned but it isn't visible yet. You can make it visible at any time by running the following one line:
[activityView startAnimating];
Finally, once you've finished loading the copious amounts of awesomesauce that fuel your app, you can make the activity indicator go away by running the following solitary line of code:
[activityView stopAnimating];

SE has claimed that this game is "friendly to casual and solo players"
However that stops at aroun Rank 20.
For some time i have now been in the 40s. However now that i am back to work (after a week off) i cant get off my current Rank. Literally the only people on my server that are 40+ are japanese players who play in my morning (i am from UK) so by the time i get home from work they are offline and sleeping or what not. Which leaves about 3-4 people within my rank range that maybe online, now you can expect these to be on all the time, infact if just one isnt on it can cause a problem, due to lack of tank or healer etc.
Now the SP needed to get from 40-50 is VERY roughly around 500,000 maybe? (as i say very rough, i know its 200,000 from 48 to 50)
So, why dont i solo? Well in solo i get on average 0-70 SP a kill, plus the time it takes to kill these monsters is quiet some duration (normally 1-2 minutes maybe)
Maths lesson -
Average the SP at 35
and the fighting time to 90 seconds
500,000 / 35 = 14286 is the number of monsters i need to kill!
14286 x 90 = 1285715 is the number of seconds i need to kill these!
1285715 / 60 = 21429 is the number of minutes
21429 / 60 = 357.14 hours THAT IS OVER TWO WEEKS!
Now remember that isnt two weeks inc sleep work etc thats two weeks of play time!
If you play 3 hours everyday then your looking at 119 days!
Now even if you double that SP gain your still looking at just under 60 days!
Now maybe you dont play one day! or you go away for a few days etc that is still insane!
I have seen people do 40-50 in DAYS in a party, being a part of parties inc the japanese ones i went from 37-42 in like 2-3 days.
Now i enjoy PT play but sometimes i want to solo now OK this isnt stopping me but i dont want solo play to be me banging my head against a wall for 60 days!
---------------------- This is all rough maths since im not making a paper for a prof and all based on my server.

Synthetic Gecko Skin was a material based on gecko feet that allowed people to climb walls like Spider-Man. Of course, that was not its first application.
Geckos had intrigued many people for years. They could climb walls with ease. Their fingers stuck when pressed laterally against a wall, but not sticky otherwise. Scientists puzzled on how this worked. Geckos used microscopic hairs called setae to climb walls. In 2000, the secret to seta stickiness was discovered. The setae were similar to carbon nanotubes in that they experienced the Van der Waals force. This was described by Dutch physicist Johannes Diderik Van der Waals, the namesake of the Van der Waals force, in 1873 in his book known in English as On the Continuity of the Gas and Liquid State, describing attractions and repulsions of atoms. Many people saw the chance to reverse engineer this feature of geckos.
Synthetic gecko skin came into commercial use in a series of steps.
Synthetic Gecko Skin Materials
Tech Level: 10
The earliest attempts to reverse engineer gecko skin used polymer-based setae. This was only a third as good as a gecko. Later attempts used carbon nanotubes. This was twice as good as a gecko. Like a gecko, these could stick fast if pressed laterally. When pulled off, the setae could pop-off one-by-one. Therefore, synthetic gecko skin could get pulled off very easily. Also, synthetic gecko skin never got dirty because the Van der Waals force did not work on smaller particles. Carbon nanotube setae, in particular, never got wet because they were hydrophobic, and thus, they could do much better on wet surfaces than polymer-based setae. Applications included stronger, reusable, waterproof bandages; gecko tape; emergency patches (carbon nanotubes only); adhesive astronaut boots; no-slip interlocking mechanical joints for robots; high-grip tires for road vehicles; and no-slip boots, gloves, and climbing gear. This was especially useful for robots.
Tech Level: 10
A geckobot was a robot that could climb like a gecko. It could adhere to any surface. The first application for geckobots was as small maintenance drones. They were designed to skim over the surface of an airplane to detect problems that needed to be solved. Soon, they were actually performing maintenance themselves. In the third decade of the 21st century, gecko bots were applied to other jobs from everyday ones like window washing to specialized ones like rescue, espionage, and surveillance. These jobs were simplified. The technology was later given to humans.
Synthetic Gecko Suit
Tech Level: 11
With the help of nanotechnology, synthetic gecko skin was appearing in normal clothes by the mid-21st century. Gloves and boots with synthetic gecko skin were available to climbers. Soon, because of climbing accidents, a full synthetic gecko suit was being developed. The entire body except the head was covered in synthetic gecko skin both inside and out when wearing the suit. A full-head mask was used if a person decided to sleep in an upside-down bed. It turns out that architecture was revolutionized. Houses were being built with upside-down rooms. There was one problem. People had to be well-trained to use a synthetic gecko suit. A lot of coordination was needed. Many people used genetic manipulation to enhance their coordination to levels beyond any human in the past. People who had rooms in their houses that were upside-down often genetically modified their blood vessels to be like those of a giraffe to keep blood from rushing to the head. Synthetic gecko skin changed society in more ways than one. Soon, synthetic gecko skin would do more than help people climb walls. It would camouflage them.

London: Chelsea has made a habit of comebacks in the past week, and now it needs the most stunning turnaround of all. The Premier League champions rallied to beat FC Porto in the Champions League and draw with Tottenham in the FA Cup. But they are nine points behind leader Manchester United in the English title race ahead of Wednesday's match at relegation-threatened Manchester City. Chelsea is set to get a big boost in its attempt to start reducing the deficit with the return of captain John Terry. The central defender has been sidelined since being kicked in the head in the 2-1 League Cup final victory over Arsenal on February 25. The need for the England captain has been clear. Last week, Porto tore apart the Chelsea defense to take an early lead in their Champions League match and it took a second-half comeback before the London club won 2-1 to advance. Then on Saturday, the defense left Chelsea trailing 3-1 with 19 minutes to play. Another comeback made it 3-3 to send the FA Cup quarterfinal to a replay on Monday. Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho may be without the improving Andriy Shevchenko, who limped out of training Tuesday with an injured left ankle. Manchester United lead Manchester United has 72 points from 29 games, followed by Chelsea with 63 points from 28 games. Compared to Chelsea, Manchester City's momentum is heading the other way. City coach Stuart Pearce is under pressure after four straight league defeats and Saturday's quarterfinal loss in the FA Cup. It left the team four places from the bottom - just above the relegation zone. "We expect Manchester City to be further up the league table. We need to win a few games between now and the end of the season," Pearce said. The club still has a six-point cushion over third-to-last Charlton, though. In the only other midweek game, Arsenal travels to Aston Villa, where victory would push it into third place ahead of Liverpool. The top two finishers in the Premier League get a guaranteed spot in next season's Champions League, while third and fourth have to go through qualifying. Arsenal is fourth in the standings with 52 points, trailing Liverpool by one but with two games in hand. Weighing heavy on the club though is the loss of striker Thierry Henry for the rest of the season. Henry was just back from a foot injury when he hurt groin and stomach muscles last week, when the Gunners were knocked out of the Champions League by PSV Eindhoven. Arsenal is also out of the FA Cup, leaving little to play for but a strong finish and a guaranteed place in next year's Champions League. On the bright side, midfielder Tomas Rosicky should recover from a groin injury in time to face Aston Villa, which is stuck in the middle of the table with 33 points.

Corfu Town, Corfu
Awash with colourful flowers, Corfu is big on beauty. It's known as the Emerald Isle, and its golden beaches, lush green landscape and colourful villages will have you constantly reaching for your camera.
• Soak up the views at Bella Vista, Corfu's most famous lookout point. From here, you can peer over sleepy seaside villages like Paleokastritsa, and the island's entire west coast.
• In Corfu Town itself, stand in the shadow of two gigantic fortresses. See the 16th-century church of Ayios Spyridhon. And then wander round the interesting archaeological museum.
• Relax on the shimmering sands of Glyfada beach, one of the most popular sunning spots on the island. Top up your tan. Take a dip in the crystal waters. Or simply laze beneath a hot sun.
SHORE EXCURSIONS► View all EXCURSIONS
Bella Vista►
Visit some of the most spectacular places in the north of the island. First of all, you'll head to the island's Greek Byzantine Monastery which is still in use, set in fragrant gardens where you'll enjoy a guided tour, before heading to Paleokastritsa, a quiet resort nestled in a beautiful bay. There'll be time to take a coffee break or enjoy an optional boat ride to the caves around the bay at an extra local charge, before heading to Bella Vista, the most famous viewpoint in Corfu. Here, you'll get some time to capture the magical views overlooking Paleokastritsa and the island's west coast. Then the tour continues via the village of Makrades, the Troumbeta mountain passage and a string of traditional Greek villages before returning to the ship.
Achilleion Palace & Corfu Town►
Achilleion Palace and Corfu Town's old quarter are two of the most talked-about attractions on the island, and on this trip, you can give them your full attention. The sightseeing starts on the drive out to Achilleion Palace. As you pass through the Corfiot countryside, you'll get a real feel for just how green this Greek island is – look out for orange, lemon and olive groves. The Achilleion Palace is in the village of Gastouri and it was built at the end of the 19th century as a summer retreat for Empress Elizabeth of Austria. As you explore this royal residence, you'll discover that Elizabeth had a taste for the finer things in life. Inside, grand halls are decorated with frescos. Outside, the gardens are dotted with statues of Greek gods. When you've finished wandering around the palace, you'll make your way back to Corfu Town for a walking tour of the old quarter. This part of the city was built by the Venetians more than 400 years ago, so there's a strong spectre of Italy in the architecture here. Expect narrow streets and Baroque building facades. Take note of the location of St Spyridon's church – you might want to come back here during the free time that follows the guided tour.
Corfu Bike Tour►
If you're itching for a change from life at sea, make the most of your day with this relaxing bicycle tour. After collecting your bike at the port, your first pitstop is the charming village of Potamos. You'll reach it by cycling through quiet villages and lush countryside – expect olive groves, traditional tavernas and scented citrus orchards that give you a flavour of the real Corfu. After you arrive in the village, you'll pause to see the faded Venetian-style houses and arcades in the centre before turning round and heading back to the island's capital, Corfu Town. With its tangled lanes, old churches and pretty squares, the old quarter of town is one of the prettiest in the whole of the Greek Islands. Here, you'll get the chance to admire some of the main sights, including the Esplanade, the main square with its tree-lined park. To round off your tour, there's time for a refreshing drink at a café on the Esplanade or elegant Liston, before heading back.

Rather than grade each of the Super
Bowl teams position-by-position, USA TODAY gives the
nod to either the Panthers or Patriots in each of the
intangible "traits of a champion":
Ask Steve Smith. The Carolina Panthers receiver suddenly became the top target, the speedster who stretched the field, but he can't tell you when he went from "guy" to "go-to guy."
"It is one of those things that just happened," he insists. "I don't know how it has. I'm not going to question it. I am just happy it has."
The end of the NFL's dynasty era might well secure Jerry Rice's place in Super Bowl annals.
As if it weren't gold-plated anyway.
In three Super Bowl victories with the San Francisco 49ers and last year's loss with the Oakland Raiders, the ageless and peerless receiver, now 41, caught eight touchdown passes to set a record that won't easily fall.
First, a player would have to participate in enough Super Bowls to catch eight touchdown passes, let alone eight passes. That player probably would need a quarterback of some skill (Rice had Joe Montana, Steve Young and Rich Gannon) looking for him and an offense predicated on the pass rather than the much-in-vogue run.
And that player would need lots of luck. Because matching Rice's talent or dedication to his craft won't be easy.
The son of a mason, Rice grew up in Mississippi handling bricks. Tough hands ultimately led to soft ones as Rice played in a wide-open attack called the Satellite Express at Mississippi Valley State (Division I-AA), then went to the 49ers as a No. 1 pick in 1985.
The NFL's leading all-time receiver (1,519 catches for 22,466 yards) and touchdown scorer (204, 194 receiving) was voted MVP in Super Bowl XXIII when he made 11 catches for a game-record 215 yards and a touchdown in a 20-16 win against the Cincinnati Bengals.
A year later he grabbed seven passes for 148 yards and three touchdowns in the Niners' 55-10 blowout of Denver.
Maybe the most dramatic of his Super Bowl touchdown catches came five years later in San Francisco's 49-26 erasure of the San Diego Chargers.
Rice caught a 44-yard touchdown pass from Young on the third play of the game to dispel any hope of an upset by the overmatched AFC club and added two more TDs in the second half as part of his 10-catch, 149-yard day.
Second and third receivers came and went in San Francisco's vaunted West Coast attack. Rice, with quickness and deceptive speed, provided the consistent target. In an offense built on timing, he turned the simple slant into a game-breaking play.
As is all of Panther-dom. Those who did not love Smith before his 69-yard overtime touchdown reception to beat the St. Louis Rams in the playoffs can't help but melt at his feet now.
Smith led all playoff receivers with 324 yards and ranked third with 14 catches. His regular-season numbers: 88 catches for 1,110 yards and seven touchdowns. More significantly, 41 of those receptions and five of the touchdowns came with the Panthers trailing. Hey, the go-to guy.
But that, Smith says, is not really something new but rather the culmination of an expectation that begins "the day you step on the field as a professional. That is why they pay us to come out here. You can't go into a game saying, 'I hope I make a play.' "
This compact package (5-9, 185 pounds) of muscle and explosiveness became a starter in 2002, his second year in the NFL. More noted in the past for his kick and punt returns, he's now respected for his ability to break the game open as a receiver.
"I know that Smith is not physically that big, but he has great balance and he is a strong runner," Patriots coach Bill Belichick says. "Pound for pound he plays big."
Smith's 69-yard catch-and-run in the second overtime lifted the Panthers over the Rams in the divisional playoff round, but a go-to guy doesn't always have to go to the end zone.
In the 29-10 first-round victory against Dallas, Smith stuffed the Cowboys back into their boots on the third play of the game, grabbing a quick flip into the flat and dashing 70 yards to the Dallas 1, setting up Carolina's first score.
Early or late, Smith wants the ball.
"I just run my routes and try to be the first guy to look at and the last guy to look at. I do it in practice, and it makes it easier in the game," he says.
For Smith, 24, and quarterback Jake Delhomme, 29, one season of working together yields the promise of a long and healthy relationship.
They communicate constantly on the field, building the sort of nod-and-wink understanding the best pitch-and-catch duos say becomes second nature.
"He's a young quarterback as far as playing-wise, and I'm a young receiver. I just try to do whatever benefits Jake," Smith says. "We always converse, even on the run plays. I'm doing stuff to test out the water and see how the corner is playing me. When I go back to the huddle, I tell Jake. We know what to do now because we've talked about it so much that it is just natural."
Delhomme appreciates the help and shares the same sentiment.
"He's young, I'm young and we're still feeling each other out and learning," he says. "He'll get frustrated out there sometimes. But he's such a talented receiver that he can do some damage in this league if he keeps on improving."
Snapshot of talent
One of the great old maxims in football isn't even a complete sentence. It starts out this way: "The more things you can do " and then the speaker, usually a coach, lets his voice trail away. Meaning? That versatility and flexibility add to a player's value. So it is with Smith.
Smith is the only player to rack up 1,900 combined net yards in each of his first three seasons since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in 1978.
Smith and Kansas City Chiefs running back Priest Holmes are the only two players with 1,900 combined net yards in each of the last three seasons, and Smith's 5,803 combined net yards (rushing, receiving, punt and kick returns) since he entered the NFL in 2001 as a third-round pick leads all non-running backs.
His big catches against Dallas and Carolina in the playoffs followed up a season of game-turning plays. His 52-yard punt return against Tampa Bay in Week 2 set up the winning overtime field goal, and he also ran one back 53 yards for a touchdown against the New York Jets.

Hello cherubs!
Did you miss me?! Probably not, but can we pretend for the sake of my ego? Yay, thanks! A number of factors contributed to my two month absence. First of all, I had nine assignments due in the space of three weeks. The fact that I just used the phrase 'a number of factors contributed,' suggests that I am still scarred by the number of essays I had to write. Not fun!
It was all worth it though, because two days after completing my second year of university, I boarded a plane to Phuket! The humidity and sometimes gross smells took a while to get used to, but the people are just so lovely. My friends and I drank cocktails for breakfast, shopped and bartered like bosses, met a bunch of new people, and acted like crazy, camera obsessed tourists. I really hoped that I'd come back to Adelaide with an amazing tan, but instead I came back with sunburn, heat rash, more freckles and about a thousand mosquito bites. I also got a sore throat, which a friend of mine seriously thought could be linked to the mosquito bites. Woo, malaria.
Anyways, here are some quality happy snaps from my holiday!

2nd Grade Math Overview

- Jenny T said...
I like that you can use so much of your created resources for math instruction. My school district has been using Everyday Math for years, and we are required to follow the program explicitly to ensure consistency among our grade levels and buildings. I'd love to figure out a way to integrate math tasks (outside of EM) with the unit I am working on...but there is NO TIME! We have over an hour for math, and if you follow the program the way it is laid out, you truly use that length of time, and could even ask for more!

My students and I both LOVE your materials! I used some of your units last year and I bought many of the other units that you have linked earlier this summer, but I found several that I had missed. I will have to complete my "set"! With the new TEKS, we had a rough time last year trying to cover everything new and the gaps that students had come to us with because of the changeover. I plan on using your materials to make our math "fun" and yet cover all of the concepts! Thank you!!!!!

OMG I love this! I planned my math since we are using NY Engage and my outline looks similar to yours. Problem is that NY Engage are the most BORING and not kid friendly lessons. I used your place value kit to bring some fun and my kiddos LOVED it! I would love to have unlimited amounts of money to buy all of your sets so spice up our boring old math curriculum!

Thank you so much for showing us this! It's funny that we think alike! I did not do for the whole year, but I already have mapped out for the first 9 weeks... Just wondering, does your district uses the TEKS Resource System (that's the new name they have now)? I also live in Texas so I was wondering!

I LOVE this! My pacing guide is very similar-- I teach second, too! I love how you including links to products you have created. Could you please explain how you made this? What program and fonts did you use?
Thank you so much! You have so many great ideas!

Just like our Giant Breakfast Cookies, it would seem that a fresh, hot homemade poptart beats a pre-baked, room temp poptart any day.
Let's not even talk about the kind that come out of a box. For all of the reasons, let's just not talk about it.
Now regarding Homemade Poptarts (that are very easy to make, by the way): My family could eat the entire batch in one meal. I prefer to make them stretch though, and I prefer us to eat more balanced instead of filling up on carbs in the morning.
That's why, just like the Giant Breakfast Cookies, I've been making these poptarts and freezing them before I bake them. On a day I declare to be a Poptart Morning, I pull a few out and bake enough for each person to have a couple with our eggs and fruit. They taste amazingly better this way and help my poptart making efforts stretch into several meals.
Can I tell you how delicious a warm, fresh poptart tastes with a cup of coffee? It's one of my favorite treats (and it's naturally very low in sugar!).
I encourage you to double this recipe so you can make a couple bags full of frozen, unbaked poptarts for quick breakfasts and snacks!
Easy Homemade Poptarts for the Freezer
- 3½ cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup melted butter
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- About 5 ounces of 100% fruit jelly or jam - any flavor you like!
- Begin by mixing the flour, salt, butter, and yogurt.
- Knead the dough just a little bit to make it nice and workable.
- Roll out the dough on a large, well floured surface.
- Use a knife to cut the dough into the desired poptart size you would like.
- Place about a ½ teaspoon of jelly on ½ of the dough rectangles (squares?).
- Spread the jelly around, leaving the edges free.
- Find a second square or rectangle or thingamajigger that matches closely with each jellied one.
- Place it on top and use a fork to seal the edges.
- Lay each poptart in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake in a 350° oven for about 25 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned.
- Create poptarts as directed, but instead of baking right away, freeze them on a baking sheet for about two hours. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag.
- At baking time, pull desired number of frozen, unbaked poptarts out of freezer and bake as directed, allowing for a few additional minutes of baking time.
Here's to one of the most delicious breakfast treats ever!

One of the better things I've done down through the years is to reduce our costs by using vendors such as Provantage. They offer far better pricing than the likes of CDW and Insight.
My opinion is that Provantage and NewEgg are about even, but that Provantage often has a wider selection.
