Powerful Classroom Lessons: It All Begins With the Hook
How do you introduce new projects to your students? What is your hook? Great project-based learning begins with an engaging launch that grabs students' interest and pulls them in. Every project needs a hook.
In this excerpt from our new book, Transforming Schools Using Project-Based Learning, Performance Assessment, and Common Core Standards, we describe how my co-author Justin Wells introduces the Campaign Ad Project at an Envision high school:
All the eleventh and twelfth graders at the school are packed into the largest available classroom. It's one of the first days of the first semester, and the room crackles with the natural teenage energy that comes with the beginning of the school year. Students are catching up, giving hugs, jockeying for seats with friends. But there is also the energy of anticipation, both excited and anxious, which serves as a kind of hush on the buzz, much like the excited but restrained chatter that fills an auditorium before a big show.
Having been at the school for two or three years, the students know that this is an important event. In fact, for them it is difficult to imagine what their lives will be like for the next few months, until this meeting occurs. So there is inherent interest in what is about to take place.
Yet all that is about to be announced is an academic assignment. "Television has fundamentally changed American politics," announces one of the teachers. "As people who are about to be voters, you need to understand the role that television plays in helping you become an informed voter. And the best way to do that is for you to become television commercial makers yourselves. That's what this project is all about."
The lights go down, and the first in a queue of famous presidential campaign ads appears on the projector screen: "Ike for President, Ike for President . . . " The students chuckle over the corny melody and antiquated animation of Eisenhower's 1952 "spot" -- the first television campaign ad ever to appear in America. But they are hooked; all eyes are on the screen. We're only minutes into what will be a multi-month project, and already a major goal has been accomplished: The students will never look at a television campaign ad the same way again.
Have we "hooked" you into learning more? You're in luck, because we've got multiple resources to share.
You can learn more about "hook" and the rest of the project in this video that traces the Campaign Ad Project from kickoff to exhibition. Watch students collaborate on producing professional-quality, research-based political commercials. The Campaign Ad Project also serves as a case study throughout our PBL chapter in Transforming Schools; in it, Justin reflects on designing and implementing this rich project-based learning experience.
And finally, here is a project profile of the Campaign Ad Project (with more profiles like this on other content-rich projects that are in the book as well).
Project Profile: The Campaign Ad Project
The following is designed for eleventh and twelfth graders:
Driving Question: What does it take to change a voter's mind?
On Monday, November 3, the night before the upcoming election, your team will present a campaign television commercial on a specific California proposition to the registered voters of the school community. The purpose of your ad is to persuade your audience how to vote on your proposition in the election on the following day.
The major products that you will create for this project are:
- A research brief on the issue or issues of your selected proposition
- Focus group research, based on interviews you will conduct with the target voters of your campaign
- Campaign commercial (30 seconds or less) on one of the ballot initiatives in the upcoming election (video is eligible for the graduation portfolio)
- An argumentative essay that offers a sustained and evidence-based case for the position you advocate in your campaign ad, with a developed counterargument representing the opposing position (paper is eligible for the graduation portfolio).

The link to the Campaign Ad Project Video didn't work. I love the project idea and would love to use this example in a presentation to my teachers.
Dawn, thanks for letting us know about the link. It's fixed now and ready for your viewing pleasure. :-)
I wrote this a while back. Thought you might find it helpful:
Do-Now: Reset the Hook
The first lesson I ever taught was in Pachamama, Ecuador. I was a wet behind the ears Peace Corps volunteer, and it was my first charla, or workshop. I was delivering a presentation on the importance of cropping sheep tails to a group of seasoned campesinos, who obviously knew far more about ovine management than I ever would. They were native Quechua speakers who understood un poco espanol, while I only knew two indigenous terms* and garbled a rather rudimentary version of Spanglish. If that weren't bad enough, I was also suffering from an explosive case of Atawalpa's revenge, South America's counterpart to that of our old friend Montezuma. Needless to say, it was going to be a tough sell.
Daunted and somewhat delusional, I decided to pull out all the lanolin and start with an attention-grabbing (I hoped) skit. Dressed up like a ruminant Casanova, I pretended to court several fetching ewes, some with tails and others without. I bleated out love poems and ballads, strutted my stuff like a wooly John Travolta and, of course, told inappropriate sheep jokes. Finally, like a peacock contestant on "The Bachelor," I picked my brides. (Note: since mochos, or rams, can mate with up to 20 ewes, polygamy is acceptable in the cud-chewing world.) For aesthetic and sanitary reasons better left unsaid, I only selected those with cropped tails.
Maybe it was the cultural divide or perhaps the language barrier, but my charla went over like a mercury-filled soap bubble. My jefe, Jorge Delgado, straining to find some glimmer of promise, turned to me after the flop and whispered, "Me gusto el skit." Clinging to that feeble compliment, I vowed to start every future lesson with some kind of "hook."
Later, teaching middle and high school history (an equally tough sell by the way), one of my goals was always to get kids jazzed about learning. To accomplish this, I experimented with all kinds of lesson starters. From Monty Python clips and Bob Dylan** songs to "What if..." scenarios and historical improv, I tried everything in my arsenal to pull back their little iron curtains.
When I found myself supporting teachers in under-resourced, low-performing schools, basically Peace Corps with a paycheck, I continued to cast the hook, even devoting entire workshops to the strategy. In a few cases, I actually convinced principals to incorporate them into their school improvement plan: "By the beginning of the 2005 academic year, 100% of teachers will incorporate hooks into all lesson and unit plans." More importantly, teachers started getting results. I felt like I was finally winning the battle for Pachamama!
All Work and No Play
In the early days of No Child Left Behind and high-stakes testing, a handful of reform-minded schools, including those of the "No excuses!" variety, started to employ what they called a "do-now." Done at the beginning of a lesson with little to no prompting from the teacher, it usually involves a short, highly structured activity tied to a specific learning objective. Examples of "do-nows" include sample test questions, sustained silent reading, and, more often than not, worksheets - a far cry from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail!"
As these schools experienced success (and in the rising wake of Race To the Top), their practices quickly spread to places like post-Katrina New Orleans, the poster child for the latest incarnation of education reform.
As a principal here in New Orleans pointed out, "Our students are behind. We need to catch up. There's no time to play!"
Extended day and year, a relentless focus on academic achievement, value-added evaluations for teachers, data-driven decision-making, and others were scooped up by schools impelled to keep up with the Joneses' College Prep. The "do-now" was definitely part of this magic elixir.
Over the past five years, I have reviewed approximately 100 schools, many here in Louisiana. Of those, more than 90 employed "do-nows," while only two were tied to hooks. And, at those two, only a handful of teachers still embraced my Pachamama obsession.
A review of curriculum resources at one particular school revealed that on average, a student would complete as many as 6,000 "do-nows" over the course of a single year. Apparently, these are not limited to the classroom either. I recently attended a conference where several presenters used them as well. Even my boss launched a meeting the other day with one. Obviously, we are doing "do-nows" a hell of a lot.
Dewey now
When I shared this revelation with a colleague of mine, he responded rather tersely: "So?"
"In the bigger scheme of things," he said, "does it really matter?"
I thought about it for a second, and then begged to differ.
On the surface, "do-nows" and hooks are little more than variations on a theme. They both occur at the beginning of a lesson, and they are both designed to increase student engagement*** and shape the learning culture.
Claw a bit deeper though, and subtle but significant differences arise. For example, unlike the hook, the "do-now" isn't meant to get kids fired up about learning. Instead, it's generally used to get "scholars" on-task quickly and to cover content efficiently. It also promotes diligence and a culture of lockstep compliance. As one principal explained, "The 'do-now' is one of our routines. It's a daily reminder that we have to work hard to accomplish our goals, pass the test and go to college."
Meanwhile, the culture nurtured by hooks is more about intrinsic motivation and self-discovery. Hooks help students find their own muse; they promote the elusive notion of learning for learning's sake. In other words, hooks lead students to water, while "do-nows" make them to drink - a lot of the same. In my opinion, the difference is the "bigger scheme of things."
More than a century ago, John Dewey, the philosopher and educational pioneer, founded a lab school in Chicago. There, he built a curriculum around the experiences, interests, and abilities of students. He believed that education should promote and support the country's democratic ideals. His progressive ideas emerge in practices such as problem- and project-based teaching and learning, scientific experiments, student-led conferences and portfolios. They can also be found in hooks.
Education reform is like Newton's cradle, after every jarring crack -- Sputnik, A Nation At Risk, the latest results from the Programme for International Student Assessment -- the momentum shifts. Unfortunately, Dewey now is about as far away as he's ever been.
The art of inspiration
When my father was a young boy, his parents took him on vacation to New York City. One afternoon, they dropped him off at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Alone and bored - he would have much rather been playing football in Central Park - he started to wander, eventually discovering a few things that stirred his imagination: Greek sculpture, Medieval armor, and Renaissance drawings. When his parents finally returned to pick him up, he was reluctant to leave. Over the course of the visit, he had become hooked on art.
My father went on to study art in Philadelphia, Paris and Mexico City. He ran an art school in New Orleans and helped found the city's first gallery for contemporary art, and his paintings and sculptures can be found in homes, businesses and museums around the world. Today, at the age of 84, my father is still making incredible art.****
I sometimes wonder, if he had only been exposed to the work and not the wonder of art, would he have been as successful or as fulfilled?
I would propose that one of the things we do, NOW, is reset the hook.
*The two Quechua terms I knew were !Achachay! which means "I'm freezing" and chuchaqui which means "hung over." Needless to say, in the high Andes they were often uttered through chattering teeth with shot glass in hand.
**Not surprisingly, the folk singer with the gravelly voice was not a big hit with the middle- and high-school crowd.
***In Robert Marzano's latest, "The Highly Engaged Classroom," the researcher does not mention do-nows, but he does give numerous examples of potential hooks.
****My father was recently the Artist in Residence at Isidore Newman, a private school in New Orleans. The program calls for master artists to model techniques and to inspire impressionable young apprentices. One of the school's slogans is: "We don't teach kids what to think; we teach them how to think." Dewey would be impressed.
Wow, Folwell, that's a blog post disguised as a comment. :-) Which I enjoyed reading, by the way.
If you'd like to share with the larger Edutopia community, check out our community tools for posting to the site: https://www.edutopia.org/node/add/discussion.
Will do. Keep up the good work. I share Edutopia tips with my teachers all the time.
Great post. I believe the hook is an essential part of every class. Getting your audience interested and possibly excited about what you'll be teaching them is crucial if you want them to give you their attention throughout the whole lesson.
Great Folwell,
It reminds me of William Wordsworth, when he says that even the meanest flower can teach thousand times more than the whole humanity can. We never know where the hook is hiding for each learner.
I find that students respond really well to short stories at the beginning of a lesson to 'hook' them in. The perfect story is related to the topic we are about to explore and takes about five minutes to read. I have begun collecting/writing stories with this in mind and published them on my blog, www.storyhooks.com for teachers to use.
i found the ideas as precious as gold for the average teacher to over come his/her class disruption by ensuring engaged learning using the strategies given in this topis.

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...I am one of a few primary care physicians on the Upper East Side of Manhattan (right off Park Avenue) who has a personalized healthcare practice, similar to a concierge practice. My primary specialty is internal medicine , but I am also a hematology specialist associated with Mount Sinai Hospital. Located in New York City, Mount Sinai Hospital is a 1171-bed teaching hospital acclaimed internationally for excellence in clinical care.
In addition to hematology and internal medicine, I am board certified in oncology. For almost 40 years, I have enjoyed getting to know entire families - often several generations - who consider me to be their advocate, as well as their internist.
I work proactively to preserve your health by discussing lifestyle change through exercise, nutrition and risk avoidance. As part of the MDVIP Wellness Program offered in my primary care practice, I conduct the proper wellness screenings to help prevent disease and diagnose it early. Although this personal approach is termed innovative, it is the way traditional medicine was originally provided. If illness should occur, we will be partners to obtain the necessary tests and effective treatments. If you are living healthy, we will work together to keep you well.
I strive to be consistently and personally available to you. My patients express delight knowing they can schedule same-day appointments with me and reach me by office phone, cell phone, email or text.
I want to be your private doctor.

Man currently in county jail pleads guilty to 2 charges in criminal sexual conduct cases
WILLMAR -- Brian Leland Koplin, 44, who is currently in the Kandiyohi County Jail, pleaded guilty Thursday to two felony charges of second-degree criminal sexual conduct for engaging in multiple sex acts with a young boy and for molesting a 12-year-old Willmar girl.
As part of a plea agreement entered in Kandiyohi County District Court, one of the charges was reduced from a first-degree charge and five other criminal sexual conduct charges will be dismissed. Koplin entered an Alford plea to the charge, under which he does not admit guilt but concedes there is likely enough evidence to convict him. He will be sentenced Dec. 8.
The charges in the girl's case were filed after a Willmar police detective and Kandiyohi County child protection worker interviewed the girl, now 17, on Dec. 28, 2007. The girl said Koplin lived with her family for about a year and that he touched her in a sexual manner on multiple occasions at their home in Willmar.
The girl also told the investigators that Koplin attempted sexual intercourse with her, but that she pushed him away. Koplin denied any sexual contact with the girl during a Jan. 7 interview with a county sheriff's detective. However, he confirmed living with the family and also confirmed that he was with the girl and a sibling alone.
The charges in the boy's case were filed after a Willmar police detective received a report in May from the Kandiyohi County Family Services that a now 15-year-old boy had disclosed that Koplin had sexually abused him when he was about 12 years old.
The detective and a social worker interviewed the boy, who said Koplin had lived with his family both near Willmar and in the city of Willmar. The boy related that Koplin had performed sex acts on him on several occasions at their home, in a vehicle and at another man's home and that Koplin had offered him methamphetamine.
Authorities interviewed Koplin, who said he lived with the family for about a year, starting in the summer of 2003, then moved to a home in Clara City and then to a home in rural Kandiyohi County. He denied inappropriate touching of the boy, but admitted it was possible that he had touched him accidentally while wrestling with him. Koplin admitted to using meth, but only on the weekends. He denied offering the drug to the boy.
Further investigation revealed that Koplin has two prior criminal sexual conduct convictions, dating from 1995 and 1996, in Morrison and Todd counties. According to the Department of Corrections Web site, Koplin was released from prison in April and is on intensive supervised release until August 2011. He had served an 88-month sentence for probation violations on Todd and Morrison cases.

I may be leaving my present job and will not longer have a network to maintain, however I would like to keep up on Spiceworks and help spread the word. The community is a great way to do this and I would like to keep my access.
What is the best way. Can Spiceworks be setup on a single computer with no network.
My new job may have need of my networking skill but not for some time.
This topic was created during version 1.5.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

yes of course it can be installed on a stand-alone system as long as you keep the required OS in mind. As long as you do not specify ip ranges to be scanned it should work perfectly. Needless to say you cannot use the specific networking features like helpticket email support and so on....
You might as well scan for the local loopback ip adress 127.0.0.1 (your own machine). In that case you'll have at least 1 machine detected and some data to look at.
May 31, 2007 at 11:51 UTC
Thanks so much for your enthusiasm about the product. This kind of involvement is what makes our product the best it can be, and we really appreciate it.
You should still receive our monthly SpiceNews newsletters to the email address you have registered with Spiceworks, as well as any other product updates we send out, which will keep you up to speed on what's going on with the company, product, etc. If the e-mail you used to sign up with is associated with the company you're leaving, you can either update your email in the app or just install Spiceworks using a different e-mail address.
We also have a great website setup specifically for spreading the word about Spiceworks:
There are all sorts of ideas there on keeping up to speed. Be sure to subscribe to the RSS on that page, too - here's the feed URL:
May 31, 2007 at 2:29 UTC
Good luck at your new job!
May 31, 2007 at 4:58 UTC
Thanks for the help and good words. Don't know if the new job is a go but looking good.
Also BRING BACK THE PEPPERS! ;)

Route 66 Day 6
We began with a riverboat trip on the Mississippi. OK, its paddle-wheel was fake and it was really driven by screws, but the only genuine stern-wheeler is difficult to book on (we saw it leaving while we were up the Gateway Arch, in fact). Anyway, the Mississippi is still one hell of a river whatever you use to navigate it, and we learned a lot about it: about floods, and FEMA, and paddle-steamers, and barges, and currents, and the Arch, and the Louisiana Purchase, and beavers.
Then back to the hotel for a swim, a shower, and a cocktail. What could be better?
Difficult to pick one piece of music for today, so here are a few to cover the riverboat, the botanics and the down-home cooking.

Canada Law
Ask a Canada Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
the by law said.. pets were permitted
that pets are to be leashed
it does not specify cats to be indoors or
cats (or dogs) to be leashed
owner is responisible for thier pet when outside the strata lot
pets must be leashed at all times
unattended pets are not permitted in the common buildings or within the boundries of common property
so even tho it does not specify cats being leashed
or that cats are to be kept as indoor pets
they (the strata) can INTERPRET that as meaning cats
are to be leashed?
i understand
thank you for your reply
i KNOW this strata will not CHANGE their by law to allow such
however.. i think i will argue with them that it is not SPECIFIC
enough .. and to amend it better to suit their needs
I hope that will be long enough to prevent them from issuing me fines
and teach my poor cat to be an indoor cat
this will conclude my questions will you.. but I will need u to reply once more such that I can give u a favourable review and end the session
have a good nite

"Clifford is a veteran big man whose overall presence will provide depth to our front court," Nets president Rod Thorn said.
Robinson has averaged 15.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 16 NBA seasons. This season, he averaged 8.5 points and 2.7 rebounds in 42 games with Golden State, including 29 starts. Robinson was suspended for five games earlier this month for violating the NBA's drug policy.
The Warriors will get the Clippers' second-round draft pick this season, which the Nets acquired in the trade that sent Kerry Kittles to Los Angeles. Golden State also will get the Nets' 2007 second-round pick and a trade exception equal to Robinson's salary.
"From our standpoint, this trade will provide us with not only two additional draft picks, but also the flexibility that comes with a large trade exception that can be utilized at any point over the next year," said Chris Mullin' Golden State's executive vice president of basketball operations.
To make room for Robinson, the Nets released forward Donnell Harvey, who recently signed his second 10-day contract. He averaged 2.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in three games.
While the addition of Vince Carter has helped the Nets, they have been playing two centers, rookie Nenad Krstic and Jason Collins. The 6-foot-10 Robinson should give New Jersey a more athletic power forward.
Originally drafted by Portland in the second round in 1989, Robinson has played with Phoenix, Detroit and Golden State. He was the NBA Sixth Man in 1992-93, and was named to the NBA all-defensive second team in 1999-00 and 2001-02. He has played in 125 career postseason games, averaging 11.1 points and 4.1 rebounds.

When Annie doesn't know the origin of Seth's quote from "Pat and Mike", she guesses it's from "Silence of the Lambs".
Caroline refers to Charlie as Beavis.
Seth says Annie has to be careful when renting "Pat and Mike" as it's right next on the shelf to "It's Pat".
Paul says "I'll kill you!" in a Van Damme-y voice and then explains it's a quote from "Timecop".

Clean & comfortable.Near to beaches, resterants etc
The Rooms, Breakfast, Friendly staff none
A wonderful peaceful location with glorious views of the sea. This is a lovely welcoming hotel and we had a superb holiday.
Excellent location right by the sea, the staff were very helpful and friendly and the rooms were simply but elegantly furnished. Also as it was a relatively small hotel it was very quiet - we came back very well rested! A very small point which didn't detract from the overall holiday was that the restaurant had a fabulous wine list but only offered a set menu which changed every evening - this in itself wasn't a problem but the food was very international, it would have been better if it had had more local / Italian dishes to compliment the local wines.
friendly staff, excellent location really poor breakfast buffet
Very good place with friendly personal, nice rooms and near to the beaches. Will warmly recomend this hotel to others
Wireless internet access was available. That was really help. Shower room was a bit small.
Clean family owned hotel. Very good breakfast! Very well located. Rooms vere very basic and sound isolation between the rooms was poor.
Location of hotel. Big bedroom. Very friendly and helpful staff. Shower was very, very small.
Plus points. Hotel location .. set in a nice town. Friendly staff. Decent breakfasts. Minus points. A bit expensive compared to other hotels we stayed at in Sardinia. Poor sound insulation between rooms.

I'm not a big fan of all inclusive hotels in general and this one was no exception. The hotel is nice with various pools and a pretty beach. However there are draw backs. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived well past 3pm and for some reason we had to speak to about 3 different people about our vacay package before we could finally get to our room. We were exhausted and just wanted to lie down. We decided to upgrade the $60 per day to be part of the preferred club. This is really only worth it if you're able to stay in the preferred section of the hotel which is quieter and closer to the spa and tennis courts. For the room upgrade we would have had to pay $90 more per day but they didn't have an available room for us so we were all the way in the other side of the hotel which was annoying. Just know that Internet IS NOT included in the price of the hotel unless you are a preferred club member. And the bandwidth is pretty small too.
The room was clean but certainly nothing to write home about. The mattress was firm but the pillows were pretty crummy. Everything I mentioned until now were just some of the minor inconveniences. The worst part is the food. I can't handle all inclusive meals in general but here was ridiculous. Avoid the World cafe at all costs. I call it the "mess hall" for obvious reasons (and its a mess). The best snack food we could find was the pizza by the main pool which was quite good. For dinner we did not enjoy the Bordeaux restaurant even though it looked nicer. Finally on our last night we discovered the Ocean Grill or Seaside Grill and that was pretty decent. It's located between the beach and building 2.
Anyways, it was a nice trip and all and the hotel isn't terrible but do be aware of the food situation.

In what may come as a surprise to some, Chelsea's 'Playstation' defender David Luiz and Tottenham winger Gareth Bale have been selected on a 20-player shortlist to be named in a FIFA World XI.
Luiz is joined by fellow Chelsea teammates John Terry, Ashley Cole and Branislav Ivanovic as the only other club alongside Barcelona to feature their entire back lines.
The Catalan super team have five defenders in contention for four places: Dani Alves, Carles Puyol, Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba.
Real Madrid also features heavily with three players - Sergio Ramos, Pepe and Marcelo - while Manchester United has Patrice Evra and Rio Ferdinand.
Somehow, Spurs flier Bale has also made the list - despite regularly playing as an out-and-out winger for both club and country.
The shortlist also includes Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus), Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund), Vincent Kompany (Manchester City), Philipp Lahm (Bayern Munich) and Thiago Silva (Paris Saint-Germain).
The FIFPro World XI is chosen by 50,000 members of the global players' union and will be announced on January 7 at the FIFA Ballon D'Or gala in Zurich.
Wayne Rooney is the only English player eligible for the prestigious prize.

|Pfizer World Headquarters
The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer announced on Friday that it has imposed sweeping controls on the distribution of its products to ensure that none are used in lethal injections, a step that closes off the last remaining open-market source of drugs used in executions.
More than 20 American and European drug companies have already adopted such restrictions, citing either moral or business reasons. Nonetheless, the decision from one of the world's leading pharmaceutical manufacturers is seen as a milestone.
"With Pfizer's announcement, all F.D.A.-approved manufacturers of any potential execution drug have now blocked their sale for this purpose," said Maya Foa, who tracks drug companies for Reprieve, a London-based human rights advocacy group. "Executing states must now go underground if they want to get hold of medicines for use in lethal injection."
The obstacles to lethal injection have grown in the last five years as manufacturers, seeking to avoid association with executions, have barred the sale of their products to corrections agencies. Experiments with new drugs, a series of botched executions and covert efforts to obtain lethal chemicals have mired many states in court challenges.
The mounting difficulty in obtaining lethal drugs has already caused states to furtively scramble for supplies.
Some states have used straw buyers or tried to import drugs from abroad that are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration, only to see them seized by federal agents. Some have covertly bought supplies from compounding pharmacies while others, including Arizona, Oklahoma and Ohio, have been forced to delay executions for months or longer because of drug shortages or legal issues tied to injection procedures.
A few states have adopted the electric chair, firing squad or the gas chamber as an alternative if lethal drugs are not available. Since Utah chooses to have a death penalty, "we have to have a means of carrying it out," said State Representative Paul Ray as he argued last year for reauthorization of the state's death penalty.
Lawyers for condemned inmates have challenged the efforts of corrections officials to conceal how the drugs are obtained, saying this makes it impossible to know if they meet quality standards or might cause undue suffering.

Pfizer blocks drug sales to American executioners
The world's second largest pharmaceutical firm has today officially withdrawn from the lethal injection drug trade, imposing strict distribution controls to prevent its drugs reaching execution chambers across the USA.
In a strong statement released this afternoon, global giant Pfizer confirmed its opposition to the misuse of its medicines in American executions and its commitment to block all sales for that purpose.
This is a critical turning point in the history of capital punishment in America. From today, all FDA-approved manufacturers of all potential execution drugs - a diverse group of 25 global companies - have blocked their sale for use in executions.
As the biggest and best-known supplier, Pfizer's announcement cements the mainstream pharmaceutical industry position on lethal injection executions. It reflects widespread unease about the procedure, and raises fundamental questions about the administration of the death penalty in America.
Pfizer's investors played a role in its decision. One major shareholder - the New York State's pension fund, the third largest in the US - has repeatedly raised fiscal and legal concerns following 'botched' procedures in states like Ohio and Oklahoma.
Commenting, Maya Foa, Director at Reprieve, said:
"Pfizer's new policy is exemplary. In restricting distribution of its medicines to legitimate medical users and preventing sales to death rows, Pfizer is protecting its products, its brand and its shareholders.
"Pfizer's actions cement the pharmaceutical industry's opposition to the misuse of medicines. Over twenty-five global pharmaceutical companies have taken action to prevent the misuse of their medicines in executions; with Pfizer's announcement, this will mean that all FDA-approved manufacturers of all execution drugs have spoken out against the misuse of medicines in lethal injections and taken steps to prevent it.
"Instead of passing secrecy laws intended to undermine the safeguards put in place by these companies, executing states should respect the legitimate commercial interests of the pharmaceutical industry and agree to stop misusing their medicines in lethal injection executions."

Pfizer Tightens Controls to Block Use of Its Drugs in Executions
Pfizer Inc. on Friday updated controls to its drug-distribution channels to restrict the use of its products in lethal-injection executions, the latest blow to the nation's beleaguered death-penalty system.
The company's new controls tighten an already diminishing spigot of drugs states have relied on to execute inmates, and send a clear message that the pharmaceutical giant objects to is products being used in executions.
The policy, posted on Pfizer's website Friday, updates existing policies by beefing up controls on wholesalers and distributors and establishing a surveillance and monitoring system to ensure compliance. The move comes months after Pfizer's 2015 takeover of Hospira Inc., which added several drugs used in lethal injections to the company's portfolio.
In recent years, makers of drugs commonly used in executions have cut back their availability after death-penalty opponents and others highlighted the drugs' role in executions. The decreasing availability of the drugs has contributed to the yearslong decline of the use of the death penalty.
Robert Dunham, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, an organization largely opposed to capital punishment, said Pfizer's move was both a symbolic and practical act against lethal injection. While drug companies have for years publicly objected to the use of their products in executions, Mr. Dunham said state correctional facilities had still been able to obtain them from distributors.
In response to restrictions put on two drugs historically used in lethal injections—thiopental and pentobarbital—states have moved to less tested drugs, like the sedative midazolam, which have rendered uneven results—for example, executions that take far longer than expected. Others, like Texas, have turned to third parties, called compounding pharmacies, to get the previously used drugs.
Partly to shield their suppliers from public protest, states have become more secretive about how and where they get the lethal chemicals. So far, legal challenges to states' secrecy policies have generally failed. But a state judge in Austin ordered Texas in December to reveal the identity of its supplier. The names are unlikely to be disclosed unless and until the ruling is upheld on appeal.
Pfizer has long had a policy blocking use of its drugs for use in lethal injections but updated the policy to extend that policy to drugs made by Hospira. Hospira itself has also for years banned the use of its drugs for lethal injections, but its products may well still be used in executions.
Deborah Denno, a professor at Fordham University School of Law, said Pfizer's new controls weren't a death blow to lethal injection, but would have a significant impact.
"You have this huge company saying we're not going to allow this," she said. "It's a pragmatic blow, but it's also symbolically, it's the company turning up their nose to the Supreme Court."
Death penalty advocate Kent S. Scheidegger, legal director of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, said the move will "have some effect," but wouldn't end lethal-injection. Some states that are still effectively using lethal injection are acquiring their drugs from compounding pharmacies, which are outside the Pfizer's distribution chain, said Mr. Scheidegger.

text: Posted August 19, 2013 a) it's the preseason. It really doesn't matter. while I appreciate that you are trying to inspire us into rallying behind our team, it is the preseason and it doesn't matter. We aren't playing to win these games, we are playing to evaluate talent, see what works and what doesn't, and get out healthy. b) We are not blowing this team up if we suck again this year. Like it or not, there is a ton of talent on this team, and if we aren't winning, it's because they aren't being utilized correctly. if the falcons can almost reach the super bowl with blaring weaknesses on defense, then their coach is doing a good job of marginalizing those weaknesses. If we suck, Rivera is gone. simple as that. we bring in someone who we think can win with our talent. nothing more nothing less. c) it's the preseason, it doesn't matter.

Star Millennia: Universal Genesis (alternatively as The Clan Wars) is a stand alone prequel to Star Millennia that tells the story of the Coronian kingdom's rise and fall and reformation into the Galactic Coronian Empire. The sci fi tells of the royal Coronian clan and it's youngest heir named Xia III who is committed to fight her family's rival political fascist party backed by a cult know as "The Order of Sol" and creates an alliance with other clans/guilds that strive on peace and freedom.
This science fiction blends in Renaissance/Medieval with modern and retro futurism.
Set in the futuristic post medieval society of Coronia, a young princess named Xia III of the High Royal Coronian Clan is set to become the kingdom's new queen. However Xia, being more of a warrior takes a quest to fight her evil political uncle Dark Lord Xerius who lusts for universal takeover. Xia must commit to her quest and fight the impeding evil.
Xia III is a young, beautiful Coronian princess with a warrior like attitude. She is the main protagonist.
Lena is Xia's younger sister and is the secondary protagonist. Lena grew up in the farmlands near the city and enjoys hunting and caring for her sheep. She later aids her sister's quest.
- Bender
A blacksmith. He grew up around Xia and the two where friends during childhood. Bender has a tendency of crating metal into a piece of art as he crafts Xia her personal sword she acquires for her quest to fight corruption.
Possible video game series
T.C is thinking of a video game series that follows the story and will likely have a few games based on the story setting.
- An FPS game
T.C is currently trying to write ideas for it. The game will be a first/third person shooter and will possibly have many features such as character customization, map creating/editing, mod support, forming clan factions and guilds, travailing into space and orbiting planetary surfaces, trading, interactions with NPCs, and establishing businesses and assembling other players.
- A real time strategy game
Will have features such as building/customizing factions, building armies, mod support, shipyard construction, orbital strikes, planetary invasions, and the ability to create siege weapons.
Although T.C is studying game design, the possibility of developing such ideas are yet to be announced in the future.
Behind the scenes
The story is heavily inspired by The Legend Of Zelda and The Evil Dead. It's also inspired by the tabletop game Warhammer 40,000.

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or the Great Detective.
Full Summary: Carlisle brings an "old friend" to Forks to stay for a while. While he is there, a baffling mystery pops up. So baffling, in fact, that only the greatest detective of all time could solve it. Luckily, he's there...
Author's Note: Well, this is an edit of the first chapter of "Elementary, My Dear Cullen". I thought it a bit short and decided that it would be good to make it a bit longer. No, I won't be moving this fanfiction like I did with "Jacksonville Blues".
The Meadow - Somewhere Outside of Forks, Washington
Isabella Marie Swan sat in a pool of sunlight, surrounded by flowers. Next to her was her boyfriend, Edward Anthony Mason Cullen, glittering merrily. They were intent on enjoying their day together. Not even a visit from a bear would have disturbed them.
She turned slightly so she could see Edward better. "Yes?"
"Carlisle asked me to warn you, one of his friends is coming to the house today. He'll be staying for about a month," he frowned, as if he was looking for the right words to describe Carlisle's friend. "Let's just say that he's an odd soul."
Bella smiled. "You talk about him like he's a monster! Can he really be that bad if he's one of Carlisle's friends? Besides, I like meeting more vampires," she shuddered. "Unless, of course, they're like the Volturi."
Edward laughed. "You don't need to worry about that, Carlisle's friend is definitely not like anyone you met in Italy. In fact, he's quite the opposite. He's a," he smirked. "'Vegetarian,' like us."
She smiled again. "That's good."
They went back to enjoying each other's company and the sun. Bella closed her eyes and was just on the point of sleep when Edward stiffened next to her.
"What is it, Edward?"
"It could be nothing, but I could have sworn that I saw..." his jaw tightened. "Bella, stay right here! Don't move an inch!" Edward ran at top speed for a patch of tress directly across the meadow from her.
Bella, who was never particularly good at following directions, rose to follow her boyfriend. It took her a few minutes to get to the trees. When she finally reached them, Edward was nowhere in sight.
"Edward," she called, standing on her tiptoes. There was a slight noise from behind her; so soft that it was barely perceptible to her all-too-human ears. She turned and saw a woman standing in the middle of the field.
The woman was saying something, but it was too far for Bella to hear. So she went closer. The woman's head was down, her long black hair hanging in her face. It appeared that she was crying.
"Sorry, Miss, is there something wrong," Bella walked cautiously forward. "You really shouldn't be alone in the woods, it's dangerous!"
The woman raised her head, livid red eyes met Bella's. "You killed him," it was just a whisper. If she hadn't been paying attention, Bella would have missed it. "You killed him."
Bella stepped back. "What?"
The woman started to scream and tear at her hair. "You killed him! You killed him! You killed him! YOU KILLED HIM!" She threw herself at Bella in a flash of black and white.
Just as Bella was sure she was finally going to die, another flash appeared out of nowhere. Brown and black met black and white with an explosion of sound and color. Bella was hurled backwards and landing a good twenty feet away from the two fighting vampires.
Terrible snarls were coming from the tornado of color. Then came a sickening snap. The tornado stopped and revealed a man in black and brown standing on the female vampire's back.
He dusted off his hands and walked over to Bella. "Miss Swan, I presume?"
She was just lucid enough to nod.
"What did you do to provoke that young lady?"
"I don't know," she stared up in the man's peculiar silver eyes. "You're a vampire."
"Yes," the sun refracted off his skin. "My name is Holmes, I'm here to see Carlisle Cullen. He sent me out to get you and Edward back," Holmes pulled Bella off the ground. "But I don't see Edward."
Edward appeared out of nowhere at Bella's side. "I heard the commotion and came back as fast as I could. There was another vampire, but I didn't catch her. What happened?"
Bella pointed a shaky finger at Holmes. "He saved me."
"Ah, Mr. Holmes, good to see you again! It's good to know that you're still a gentleman," Edward smiled and shook Holmes' hand.
"Quite. Have you any idea who this was," Holmes gestured at the dead vampire.
Edward reluctantly parted from Bella's side to examine the dead vampire. "My God, it's Irina!"
"Who's Irina" Bella had stopped shaking for the most part. She stepped forward to look into the female vampire's now ruined face. "She kept saying 'you killed him'."
"Irina was part of the Denali coven. She was Laurent's mate before he died. I assume that Laurent was the 'he' that she was referring to," Edward reached down and closed Irina's eyes.
"But we didn't kill him, the wolves did!"
"It is perfectly clear that she didn't know that," Holmes frowned. "But the presence of this other vampire troubles me. If you'll excuse me, I'll go back to your house and tell your father what has happened," with that, Holmes was gone.

LHC Group Inc., a Lafayette-based home nursing firm, has completed a previously announced $10 billion deal for 13 home health agencies in six states.
The Life Care Home Health agencies increase LHC's geographical footprint to 350 locations in 29 states.
LHC announced the deal in July. The agencies are expected to have no impact on 2014 earnings but will increase the 2015 results.
The Life Care Home Health agencies cover 44 counties in Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Utah and Washington. Those counties have an estimated 2 million people aged 65 and older. The agencies generated $28 million in revenue for the 12 months ending in June.
LHC is also acquiring a Life Care agency in Rhode Island, but a different regulatory process and timeline means the deal won't close until later this year.

So right after the big patch, accuracy was great, seemed like about 90% for just about everything.
Now earlier this week I start missing 5-6 hits in a row, missing 1 out of every 3 weapon skills. And this is on Blue mobs.
Everytime I call something like this I turn out to be correct. I called the synthesis nerf a while back, my very first synth, no one believed me.
So anyone else notice this? Feels like the accuracy is right back where it started, and now that feint is 500tp, blah blah this sucks

Took me to far away places ❤it!!
I was looking for a game that was different from what I usually play. I found it in this game. It kept me interested and swept up in the storyline. I was 😩 when it ended. BTW, I don't usually write reviews unless I really like the product.
I loved the storyline and the choices I had to choose from made me really think about my actions for each choice before proceeding.
Keep up the great work and write more stories.
Stunning and Enthralling
I loved the amount of effort put into this game, and I can understand why it was short. I loved how detailed the role play was, and I honestly laughed out loud when it switched the traditional roles of men and women. I absolutely suggest that you get this app, for a little pastime gaming. To the maker, you are an amazing writer, and if you ever wrote a story, I would read the heck out of it. Thank you so much for making this game!

Men convicted of historic sex abuse mist await appeal outcome
Two men found guilty of sexual abuse committed more than forty years ago, must wait to hear the outcome of their appeals against conviction.
Francis McLoughlin (66), of Mahanagh, Cloonloo, Co Sligo, was found guilty by a jury of indecently assaulting two young boys in a period from 1963 to 1974 when the victims were aged between six to 17 and five to 12 years old.
His co-accused, Brian Wynne otherwise Bernard (59) of Derrynacarn, Cloonloo, Co Sligo, had pleaded not guilty to indecently assaulting one of the boys in a two year period ending in January 1973. He was found guilty on five counts by the jury at Sligo Circuit Criminal Court.
McLoughlin was sentenced to four years imprisonment with the final six months suspended while Wynne was given a wholly suspended two year sentence by Judge Petria McDonnell on October 13, 2014.
Opening an appeal against conviction today, McLoughlin's barrister, John Shortt SC, said his client's conviction was unsafe and unsatisfactory because there had been an "accumulation" of trial mismanagement beginning with a refusal to order separate trials.
Mr Short said his client was manifestly prejudiced because he had to face "three trials" - in relation to the two complainants as well as complaints where the co-accused "were together".
Mr Short said his client should not have been tried with Wynne because it allowed the "shoring up" of "system evidence" which, Mr Short said, "we say there wasn't".
He said the trial judge made an "erroneous finding" as to what constituted system evidence and inadequately dealt with corroboration.
Counsel for Wynne, Delia Marie Flynn SC, said she was appealing on grounds of delay, the "system evidence", corroboration and the issue of separate trials.
In a case where the only defence open to her client was "bare denials" and where he had given evidence in his defence, it was significant, Ms Flynn said, that on two occasions the trial judge referred to the "difficulty of disproving" the allegations.
It was "almost inverting the burden of proof," she said.
Ms Flynn said there "couldn't possibly" have been system evidence. There was only one complainant in her client's case.
Counsel for the Director of Public Prosecutions, Eileen O'Leary SC, said the system of abuse employed by McLoughlin was "dramatically unusual".
That system was used subsequently on the second victim when Wynne was present, she said.
The system had been set up by McLoughlin, was witnessed and "deployed by Wynne" and he was now part of the system evidence, she said.
Ms O'Leary said corroboration was properly and adequately dealt with by the trial judge. She explained what corroboration was, defined in law what was meant by corroboration and gave a warning.
Counsel submitted that warnings to 'exercise special care' and 'just be careful' were adequate given the circumstances of this case.
She said the trial judge adequately dealt with delay.
Mr Justice George Birmingham, who sat with Mr Justice Garrett Sheehan and Mr Justice Alan Mahon, said the court would reserve judgment.

SARASOTA COUNTY - Most Sarasota County government offices and facilities will be closed Tuesday, Dec. 24, and Wednesday, Dec. 25 in observance of the Christmas holiday. That includes libraries, the History Center, recreation centers, Arlington Pool, Payne Park and Knights Trail Park.
The Florida Department of Health in Sarasota County (formerly known as the Sarasota County Health Department), which is a state agency, will also be closed Dec. 24 and 25. While only Christmas Day is an official state holiday, Gov. Rick Scott has directed that state offices close Tuesday, Dec. 24, "in recognition and sincere thanks for the dedication of state employees in service to the citizens of Florida."
There will be no Sarasota County Area Transit (SCAT) bus service on Dec. 25. Regular bus service will operate on Dec. 24.

Residents whose regular collection days are Wednesday, Thursday or Friday will have their collection day for yard waste, recyclables and garbage moved to the next day in the week. For example, residents with a regular collection day of Wednesday can expect their trash to be collected on Thursday.

I received a very warm welcome and the staff were very helpful and polite. The hotel was charming and comfortable. The pool was clean and well-maintained. The room service that I ordered was hopeless. It was an hour late, even though I phoned a couple of times and the food was cold.
Friendly people, smiling and always available for help
The location is very central. Shamian island is beautiful. The breakfast was reasonably good. The staff were pleasant. The rooms had an old world feel about them. The rooms particularly the en - suite were a bit shabby and in need of an upgrade.
the hotel staff was very good the airconditioner in the room did not work properly
walking aroud
Friendliness, service and professionalism of entire staff. Location near the park, river, metro and resturants, away from down town area. Not applicable.
Location on Shamian Island and helpfulness of staff Nothing to mention.
Bed mattress The hotel insisted to charge us their walk in rate eventhough we booked via booking.com at a better rate
Location in a historic part of Guangdong away from hustle of the city,and its proximity to local restaurants, cafes and stores.
The hotel was a bit old but fairly well kept up. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The English skills of the staff, as would be expected, was somewhat limited but was always able to get the point across. Even had one waitress teaching us Chinese. The beds, as in all Chinese hotels I've stayed at, were kind of hard.
The location of the hotel is very good. Very easy to get the food and taxi.
The bus organisation to the Canton Fair was very well organisied. Some of the breakfast restaurant staff were great, trying their best to offer the service of a more expensive hotel. It was great they had an egg station where they cooked fresh omelettes, etc. I requested a room change upon arrival as the room spelt of cigarette and I am a non smoker. They quickly changed the room over and the new room was fine.
clean room. locality has many small restaurants. 7/11 is just round the corner. subway station is also nearby. My credit card was charged by booking.com when i booked room in this hotel. this hotel also charged my credit card.
It is quite far away from underground stations. The room was not very clean respect to 4-5 star hotels in China.
Staff are so kind and Room is clean and comfortable. It's not far from Subway Station. You must find D4 Exit and Cross the pedestrian overpass and turn right in front of Mcdonald Shop and just walking 6 min or more you'll find the hotel. But must check the map. It , of course , on a Crowded Street but It's not hotel's pot. If you adopt yourself once the situation, you may enjoy crowded big Chinese city.
